Author, investor, and founder of Martin Capital, Rod D. Martin joins Eric Metaxas to expose the dangerous lies being told about Israel, the rise of antisemitism in the West, and the spiritual war behind today’s political movements.

Rod explains why delegitimizing Israel is really about delegitimizing America, unpacks the growing alliance between Marxist and Islamist ideologies, and calls believers to stand for truth in a culture of deception.
Later, Malachi O’Brien joins Eric to share an encouraging word on overcoming accusation, finding hope in spiritual battles, and staying faithful when the enemy attacks.

Sociologist and author Charles Murray joins Eric to discuss his new book Taking Religion Seriously and his journey. Together they explore why reason, science, and faith are not at odds—and why more thinkers are turning back to Christianity.

From the fine-tuning of the universe to the evidence for consciousness beyond the brain, Murray and Eric unpack how modern science points toward a Creator and why ignoring faith has left our culture spiritually empty.
