What They're Not Telling You About the War with Iran...

The Iran war is everywhere. But most of what you're seeing online is noise. In this episode, Lecrae breaks down what's actually happening, what the media isn't covering, and what Christians should do when war, politics, and end times theology all collide at once. He walks through four frameworks Christians use to think about war: pacifism, just war theory, Christian nationalism, and peacemaking. None of them give you easy answers. All of them matter right now. This episode is not a political take. It's a theological one. Lecrae isn't telling you what to think about the Iran war. He's asking you to think about it like someone who belongs to a different kingdom. __________________ 0:00 What They Aren't Telling You About the Iran War 1:02 Why Most People Are Confused 3:32 The Facts: $11 Billion in One Week 5:13 Most Christians Don't Have a Theology of War 6:01 Lens 1: Pacifism 7:05 Lens 2: Just War 10:28 Lens 3: Christian Nationalism 12:11 Lens 4: Peacemaking 14:20 The Iranian People Are Made in God's Image 16:08 Is Netanyahu Actually Dead? 17:46 Why AI and Deepfakes Are a Spiritual Problem 18:46 Should We Be Reading This as End Times? 22:08 Pete Hegseth, Doug Wilson, and the Holy War Claim 23:31 What Does a "Christian Nation" Actually Mean? 27:18 U.S. Military Commanders Invoking End Times Rhetoric 29:03 The Crusades Are Not the Model 32:15 Iran in Biblical Prophecy: Ezekiel 38 Examined 35:13 No One Knows the Hour 37:13 The Kingdom Is Always Greater Than the Nation 40:50 Lecrae's Tension with Pacifism: What He Saw in the Middle East 43:24 The Underground Iranian Church Is One of the Fastest Growing in the World 45:03 When Is Force Actually Justified? 45:53 Russell Moore: Wars Shape Our Souls 48:35 The Kuwait Story: When Killing Becomes Normal 51:20 The White House TikTok That Crossed a Line 54:11 Nationalism Gone Numb 57:28 Where Lecrae Lands __________________ 📱Follow our new instagram! - https://www.instagram.com/deependlecr... 📱Connect with Lecrae - https://linktr.ee/Lecrae 📮 Join the conversation… Exclusive previews, discounts, bonus content, and more: https://deependwithlecrae.com/ Stream the Album: https://music.apple.com/us/album/reconstruction/1828052699 👕 Shop Lecrae Merch: https://lecrae.store/ _____________________ Reclaim your faith from OCD.
