• Why Are the Jews So Hated? | Darrow Miller

  Episode Summary: Antisemitism is surging at an alarming rate around the world—but what’s fueling this ancient hatred? In this episode, Darrow Miller joins us to explore the deeper spiritual realities driving antisemitism—realities the media, politicians, and even most churches won’t touch. This conversation isn't just about politics, land disputes, ancient grievances, or theological camps. At its core, antisemitism is a rejection of the moral universe revealed by the God of the Bible. When God called Abraham, He didn’t just form an ethnic group—He launched a revolutionary worldview with one sovereign Creator, one moral law, and one standard of truth. This vision of reality has, and will, always provoke hostility in a world that longs for autonomy.Jews, whether religious or secular, represent this divine worldview by their very existence. They are living reminders that there is a God—and that we are not Him! This is why totalitarian regimes, pagan cultures, and secular movements have always sought to erase them.Join us as we trace the spiritual and historical roots of antisemitism, from Egypt to Auschwitz to today’s college campuses. Examine how the same hatred directed at Jews eventually targets Christians who uphold biblical morality. The urgent question is: Will Christians stand in solidarity with the Jewish people—or remain silent as this civilizational crisis deepens?Who is Disciple Nations Alliance (DNA)?

• Why Does Your Worldview Matter? DNA Core Message Series

  Our worldview shapes what we think, how we live, and the kind of culture we create. So when our communities bear bitter fruit—poverty, corruption, injustice—we need to look at the roots below the surface. In this episode, we explore how worldviews are formed, how they shape entire societies, and why true transformation comes from working at this level. Too often, Christian mission stops at conversion and overlooks the need for deep worldview discipleship, leaving people with many unbiblical cultural assumptions. Lasting change comes when our minds are renewed, leading to flourishing not only in our lives, but also in our families and nations as we live into God's design.Main Topics:What Is a Worldview? – How it forms and why it mattersIdeas Flow Downstream – From philosophers to principles to lifestylesRooted in Truth – How biblical worldview transforms hearts and societiesIt starts with us. We must intentionally think and act differently than the world, based on the reality of God’s Kingdom. Core Video: Why Does Your Worldview Matter?Our Strategy at DNAView the transcript, leave comments, and check out recommended resources on the Episode Landing Page!

• Can the Sun Rise on the West Again? | Vishal Mangalwadi

  Vishal Mangalwadi returns to challenge the pessimistic theology that has sidelined the Western church for decades. He argues that the West's decline politically and culturally stems from bad theology. We pray, “His Kingdom come and His will be done on earth,” but simultaneously, we as the church in America have retreated from leading in the culture. To move forward, Mangalwadi proposes a bold vision that begins with education reform, calling churches to reclaim their position as centers of discipleship and cultural formation. Drawing from his global experience and biblical conviction, he offers a hopeful roadmap for restoring truth and rebuilding broken nations.Main Topics:Why Western Christianity adopted a pessimistic eschatology—and the cultural costHow the church turned to a private faith and ceded culture to secularismMangalwadi's plan to renew culture through biblically rooted educationJoin us to explore how the church can recover its cultural voice and help replant biblical roots in today's world.View the transcript, leave comments, and check out recommended resources on the Episode Landing Page!Learn More about the 2025 DNA Forum in Panama

• The Alternative to Abortion: Why We Must be Pro Abundant Life | Roland Warren

  Addressing abortion starts with discipleship, not legislation. In this powerful conversation, Roland Warren, President of Care Net and author of The Alternative to Abortion, challenges Christians to move beyond politics and embrace a “pro-abundant life” perspective rooted in John 10:10. Drawing from his own story of an unplanned college pregnancy turned 43-year marriage, Roland reframes abortion as a discipleship issue—calling the Church to support not just life, but lives transformed by the Gospel.
