Episode 117 If The US Attacks Iran Is That Ezekiel 38 or Revelation 19?

Welcome to The Heart of God podcast, where we dive deep into Biblical prophecy and current world events to uncover God's timeless truths. In Episode 117, "US Attacks Iran: Is That Ezekiel 38 or Revelation 19?", we explore the escalating Middle East conflict amid reports of a massive US military buildup—the largest since the 2003 Iraq invasion.
With aircraft carriers like the USS Gerald R. Ford and USS Abraham Lincoln, fighter jets, and missile defenses flooding the region, tensions between the US and Iran are at a boiling point over nuclear talks and regional threats
As multiple news sources confirm this surge of weapons into the Middle Eastern theater, we ask: Is the US poised to strike Iran? Could this be driven by America's alliance with Israel, or a bid to curb what some see as an Islamic invasion threatening the Western world? Who stands to gain from such a confrontation, and might it spiral into the larger prophetic wars foretold in Scripture? We'll examine if this signals the onset of the Gog and Magog war from Ezekiel 38, where nations align against Israel, or if it's a prelude to the epic Battle of Armageddon in Revelation 19. Plus, why has Israel's favor plummeted with nearly 60% of Americans now viewing the Israeli government unfavorably, according to recent polls? Does the Bible offer specific answers for our chaotic times, even in 2026? Join host Barry Voorhies as we connect today's headlines with ancient prophecies, seeking the heart of God in the midst of global upheaval. Whether you're searching for insights on Biblical end times, US-Iran relations, or Middle East prophecy, this episode is your guide.

Episode 115 Answering Tucker Carlson's Question. Part 2

Welcome to The Heart of God, the podcast where we dive deep into Scripture to uncover God's unchanging plan for humanity, redemption, and the nations. I'm your host, Barry Voorhies, and today we're back with Episode 115: Answering Tucker's Question, Part 2. In a recent high-profile interview that has sparked massive controversy and widespread discussion across social media and beyond, Tucker Carlson pressed U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee on America's relationship with Israel. Amid the heated exchange and ensuing backlash—including sharp condemnations from Arab and Muslim nations, debates within conservative circles, and thousands of people asking, "What happened to Tucker Carlson?" He has repeatedly asked a question that can only be answered scripturally:  "I wish someone would show me why it's in the USA's best interest to be an ally with Israel." This isn't just a geopolitical debate or a matter of foreign policy opinion. It's fundamentally a biblical question. If we fail to grasp God's sovereign plan for Israel and Jerusalem, we miss the key to understanding the world we live in today—from current Middle East tensions to end-times prophecy and the ultimate salvation of mankind. In Scripture, God's redemptive story progressively centers more and more on Israel:
From the promises to Abraham in Genesis, through the prophetic visions in Daniel, revealing kingdoms and the future of God's people...
To the ministry of Jesus in the Gospels, particularly Matthew, where He declares His mission first to the lost sheep of the house of Israel...
To Paul's profound teaching in Romans about God's irrevocable gifts and calling to Israel, and the mystery of Gentile inclusion grafted into the olive tree...
All the way to the climactic events in Revelation, where Jerusalem—the city of the Great King—takes center stage in the final chapters of human history and God's eternal kingdom.
God's plan for the salvation of man has always been intertwined with His covenant promises to Israel. Understanding this biblical centrality isn't optional for believers—it's essential for making sense of global events, spiritual warfare, and our role in these last days.In Part 2 of this series, we continue unpacking Tucker's pointed question through clear, scriptural answers. We'll explore why America's alliance with Israel aligns with divine purposes, how biblical prophecy illuminates today's headlines, and why ignoring God's heart for Israel leads to misunderstanding both the present age and the coming kingdom. If you're searching for truth amid the noise—whether you're questioning U.S. foreign policy, wrestling with recent controversies, or simply hungry for deeper insight into God's Word—this episode is for you. Hit play, open your Bible, and let's seek the Heart of God together.

I'm your host, Barry Voorhies, and in Episode 114: "Answering Tucker Carlson's Question," we're tackling one of the most heated debates in modern geopolitics and biblical prophecy. You won't want to miss this breakdown of Tucker Carlson's intense, adversarial interview with Mike Huckabee in Israel—full of fireworks, pointed questions, and even a few shots across the bow. Has Tucker Carlson changed his views on Israel? If so, what sparked the shift? And is Mike Huckabee really a shill for Israel, as Tucker seemed to imply during their clash? We'll also explore the eye-opening follow-up interview between Dinesh D'Souza and Mike Huckabee, where they unpack why the Muslim-Jewish conflict remains so polarizing in today's world. Drawing directly from the Bible, we'll examine what Romans 11 reveals about the Remnant of Israel and how Isaiah 28 offers profound clarity on these complex end-time issues. At its core, this episode answers the burning question Tucker Carlson keeps circling: Why is the United States still an ally of Israel? What does the Bible truly say about Israel, the End Times, and God's unfolding plan?

Episode 113 Finding The Fire Part 2

In the latest episode of The Heart of God podcast—Episode 113: Finding the Fire! Part 2—we dive deep into the prophetic power of Zechariah 3:1-2, where Joshua the high priest stands accused by Satan before the Angel of the Lord, only to hear the divine rebuke: "The Lord rebuke you, Satan!" This vivid biblical scene reveals God's fierce defense of His people, the removal of filthy garments, and the clothing in righteousness—a timeless picture of redemption, restoration, and spiritual fire that burns away accusation and impurity. Amid today's swirling questions about global alliances and hidden agendas, Tucker Carlson recently voiced what many are wondering: "I wish someone would tell me why it is in our best interest to be allies with Israel." With great respect and admiration for Tucker and love for the pursuit of truth, this episode provides a scriptural answer straight from God's Word. We explore why Scripture portrays Israel not merely as a geopolitical partner, but as central to God's redemptive plan for the nations—a covenant people whose story intersects with end-times prophecy, divine promises, and ultimate blessing for the world. We also confront the shadows cast by recent revelations in the Epstein files, including persistent claims of intelligence operations involving honey traps, blackmail of global elites, and alleged ties between agencies like the Mossad and CIA. These world-shaking events raise serious questions about intentions, influence, and hidden power structures. Yet in the midst of confusion and controversy, The Heart of God turns to the unchanging authority of Scripture for clarity, discernment, and the "fire" of truth that exposes darkness and ignites faith.

Episode 112 Finding The Fire?

In the midst of these turbulent times, as fresh revelations from the recently released Epstein files—millions of pages, videos, and images disclosed under the Epstein Files Transparency Act—continue to expose shocking connections among the world's most powerful figures, many are left reeling. Waves of resignations, investigations, and even international probes have followed, with terms like "pizza," "hot dog," and "jerky" resurfacing in discussions, reviving questions about whether these were ever code words tied to elite circles and their alleged dark practices, echoing long-standing claims from Pizzagate-era speculation.If these point to systemic horrors involving exploitation and trafficking, few could argue against the justice that such actions demand—eternal accountability before a holy God. Yet amid the outrage and the unfolding chaos, a deeper question emerges for believers: What is God doing and allowing in His world right now? How do we press on in the calling He's placed on our lives, holding fast to His unique, unchanging Truth? On this episode of The Heart of God—Episode 112: "Finding the Fire"—we dive straight into the heart of it. I don't know about you, but in days like these, I need the Fire more than ever—the purifying, refining, consuming fire of God's presence that Scripture reveals from Genesis to Revelation. The Bible uses fire not as a mere metaphor, but as a vivid picture of God's holy goals: to judge evil, to test and purify His people, to empower us for His mission, and to seal the eternal destinies we choose through our response to Him. From the burning bush that commissioned Moses, to the tongues of fire at Pentecost empowering the early church, to the lake of fire as the final destination for unrepentant wickedness—fire tells the story of God's justice, His refining work in us, and the urgency of choosing life in Him. Join me as we seek the Fire that burns away distraction, ignites passion for truth, and equips us to stand firm—no matter what darkness is exposed in the world around us. This is more than a podcast; it's a call to awaken, to pursue God's heart, and to find the fire that sustains us through it all. Welcome to The Heart of God—Episode 112: Finding the Fire. Let's step into His presence together.

Episode 111 Was Bad Bunny Really That Bad?

Welcome to The Heart of God podcast, Episode 111: Was Bad Bunny Really That Bad? – diving deep into the firestorm surrounding the most controversial Super Bowl halftime show of 2026. The Super Bowl LX halftime performance by Puerto Rican superstar Bad Bunny at Levi's Stadium wasn't just a concert—it became a cultural and spiritual lightning rod. As the first artist to deliver an entirely Spanish-language set on America's biggest stage, Bad Bunny celebrated Puerto Rican heritage, Latino unity, and messages like "Together We Are America," complete with vibrant choreography, surprise guests like Lady Gaga, live wedding moments, and nods to island history. Millions watched what many praised as a joyous, inclusive fiesta of identity and community. Yet the backlash was immediate and intense. Critics labeled it divisive, "degenerate," and even "pure smut," with some Republican lawmakers calling for FCC investigations and congressional probes over alleged sexually explicit lyrics, suggestive choreography, crotch-grabbing antics, and themes glorifying what they called unspeakable depravities. President Trump branded it "absolutely terrible" and an "affront to the Greatness of America." Alternative events popped up, bars switched channels, and online debates raged: Was this just a bold dive into a different culture—or something far darker? Questions multiplied: Why did Spanish-speaking viewers rush to translate Bad Bunny's lyrics in real time, issuing warnings about radically pornographic content in his music? Did the performance cross into modeling behaviors the New Testament warns against—like the rarely-discussed term "orgy" (from Greek orgias, tied to unrestrained indulgence and idolatry in passages like Romans 13:13, Galatians 5:19-21, and 1 Peter 4:3)? Was the halftime show more spiritually significant than the game itself, revealing a destination many in humanity instinctively reject? In this episode, we cut through the noise to ask: Was Bad Bunny really that bad? If so, why—and what was truly unfolding on that massive stage? More importantly, what does Scripture say when culture clashes with kingdom values? We turn to Jesus Christ's own words in a simple but powerful two-verse teaching: Matthew 18:18-19. "Truly I tell you, whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven. Again, truly I tell you that if two of you on earth agree about anything they ask for, it will be done for them by my Father in heaven." Far from a vague promise, this speaks directly to spiritual authority, agreement in prayer, and the reality of spiritual warfare—binding what heaven rejects and loosing what aligns with God's will. Join me as we unpack the performance, the controversy, the translations, the warnings, and the deeper spiritual implications. Discover how this moment exposes the battle for hearts and minds, and how Jesus equips believers to respond with truth, discernment, and the authority He has given His church. Press play, open your Bible to Matthew 18, and let's seek the Heart of God for clarity amid the chaos. In a world pulling in every direction, His Word remains our anchor. You're not alone—His truth prevails.

Episode 110 BB Vs. TPUSA Who Won?

Welcome to The Heart of God podcast, Episode 110: Bad Bunny Vs. TPUSA – Who Won? In one of the most talked-about cultural clashes of 2026, the Super Bowl halftime show became a flashpoint for deeper divisions in America. On February 8, Puerto Rican superstar Bad Bunny delivered the official NFL halftime performance at Super Bowl LX. Was it a vibrant, mostly Spanish-language celebration of Puerto Rican culture, joy, inclusion, and unity? It drew massive viewership and featured surprise guests like Lady Gaga and Ricky Martin. At the same time, Turning Point USA (TPUSA) launched its counter-programming “All-American Halftime Show,” headlined by Kid Rock and other country artists, complete with patriotic themes and a tribute to their late founder Charlie Kirk. The internet exploded: Was Bad Bunny’s show a beautiful expression of multicultural America, or an “un-American” performance that alienated English-speaking audiences? Did TPUSA’s alternative event represent authentic patriotism and traditional values, or a reactive political statement? Who actually “won” in terms of impact, message, and reach? What was Bad Bunny really saying through his art, and what was Turning Point USA communicating in response? This episode goes beyond the headlines and viral hot takes to ask the questions that matter most: Is this cultural showdown even worth unpacking? And more importantly — are there spiritual answers hidden in the stark differences between the two? From a biblical perspective, what does this moment reveal about identity, unity, division, and where our ultimate allegiance should lie? How do we as believers navigate entertainment, politics, nationalism, and cultural expression without losing sight of the Gospel? Jesus spoke powerfully about unity, truth, and the Kingdom that transcends every earthly divide — and those truths are more relevant than ever in a polarized time. Join me in Episode 110 as we break down what actually happened, compare the messages side by side, and let the Heart of God bring clarity, wisdom, and conviction to this very public conflict. Whether you watched Bad Bunny, tuned into TPUSA, or skipped both, this conversation will help you get grounded in Scripture instead of swept up in the noise. Press play, open your Bible, and let’s seek God’s perspective together on one of the biggest cultural moments of the year. His truth cuts through every controversy.

Episode 109 And...World Peace?

Welcome to The Heart of God podcast, Episode 109: And... World Peace – a heartfelt exploration of what Jesus truly promised about peace in our broken world.In a time when global headlines are dominated by unrelenting conflict—from the ongoing war in Ukraine, escalating tensions in the Middle East, violence in Sudan and Myanmar, to rising instability in regions like the Sahel and beyond—many people long for "world peace" as if it were just around the corner. Yet, as we look at the state of our world in 2026, with armed conflicts at levels not seen since World War II, the dream of universal harmony feels farther away than ever. But here's the crucial truth we unpack in this episode: Jesus never promised corporate, worldwide peace in our lifetime. He did promise profound personal peace—a deep, unshakable calm that guards our hearts and minds even amid chaos. True global peace? That's a future reality, secured in eternity when Christ returns to reign. This raises profound questions that cut to the core of our faith: In what ways do conflict, war, and division actually drive us to the foot of the Cross and to the Person of Christ Himself? How do the very struggles we face reveal our desperate need for Him? We dive straight into Jesus' own words in Matthew 10:34, where He declares, "Do not think that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I have not come to bring peace, but a sword." This seems to clash with the angels' glorious announcement at His birth: "Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace among those with whom He is pleased!" (Luke 2:14). How do we reconcile these? What kind of peace was proclaimed—and what kind wasn't? Thankfully, Scripture doesn't leave us in confusion. The Apostle Paul provides crystal-clear answers in Ephesians 2, explaining the peace we are promised right now—peace with God through Christ's reconciling work on the Cross—and the ultimate, eternal peace awaiting believers in the new heaven and new earth. Whether you're weary from personal battles, grieved by national divisions, or burdened by the world's endless wars, this episode invites you to get centered in God's unchanging truth. Discover how Jesus' hard words about division actually point us to the deeper, transformative peace only He can give—peace that sustains us today and points us to the perfect shalom to come. Join me as we wrestle with these Scriptures, find hope in the midst of turmoil, and let the Heart of God speak peace to our souls. Press play, open your Bible to Matthew 10 and Ephesians 2, and let's seek the Prince of Peace together. His promises hold firm—no matter the headlines.

Episode 108 Keep Doing So!

Welcome to The Heart of God podcast, Episode 108: Keep Doing So – where we dive deep into the unchanging promises of Scripture to anchor our hearts amid life's storms. In these challenging and uncertain times, when headlines scream division, scandal, and hardship—from economic pressures to questions swirling around leadership in places like Minnesota—it's easy to feel overwhelmed, anxious, or even disillusioned. Recent revelations of massive fraud and theft in Minnesota's social services programs, involving billions in taxpayer dollars and raising serious questions about oversight and accountability under Governor Tim Walz (often referred to in discussions as issues tied to his administration), have left many wondering: How do we process this? Is there complicity, negligence, or something else at play? These are tough, real-world issues that touch on justice, stewardship, and trust in those who lead. But here's the beautiful truth: God hasn't left us without direction or comfort. In Episode 108, we turn our focus back to the Heart of God Himself, exploring two powerful scriptural blessings—two divine promises straight from the lips of Jesus—that are often overlooked yet profoundly relevant for navigating difficult seasons like this. Jesus calls us to keep doing certain things, and when we do, He pledges His blessing. These aren't vague platitudes; they're active principles rooted in perseverance, faithfulness, and obedience even when the world feels chaotic. Whether you're grappling with personal trials, national controversies like the unfolding Minnesota fraud investigations, or simply the weight of today's headlines, these two blessings offer grounding, hope, and supernatural strength. Join me as we unpack these timeless truths, get centered in God's Word, and rediscover how keeping on in the ways He instructs brings His favor and peace—no matter the circumstances. Let's allow the Heart of God to speak clarity and blessing over our lives today. Press play, open your Bible, and let's get grounded together. You're not alone in this—His promises are sure.

Episode 107 Do You Love Me?

In a world filled with chaos, division, and uncertainty, one timeless question cuts through the noise and demands our honest response: "Do you love Me?"Welcome to Episode 107 of The Heart of God podcast, titled "Do You Love Me?" — a deep dive into the profound, heart-piercing conversation between Jesus and Peter in John 21, where the resurrected Christ asks the disciple who had denied Him three times the most vulnerable question imaginable: "Simon, son of John, do you love Me?"This wasn't just a personal moment of restoration for Peter after his greatest failure. It was a blueprint for every believer facing overwhelming trials. Jesus didn't ask about Peter's knowledge, his courage, or his plans. He asked about love — the foundational response that defines our walk with Him. Today, we live in times that test that very foundation. A Congress and Senate that often seem compromised by politics and self-interest. Adversaries within our own nation and around the world, appearing bent on undermining the freedoms and stability of the First World through orchestrated chaos using the Third World. Paid agitators and escalating violence at protests — as seen in recent tragic events like the Minneapolis confrontations involving figures such as Alex Pretti, where tensions boiled over into loss of life and national division — remind us how quickly unrest can spiral. What are we called to do when institutions falter, when adversaries rise, and when violence threatens to drown out reason? The answer isn't found in louder arguments, more strategies, or greater force. It's found in returning to the most basic, most truthful question Jesus still asks each of us today: "Do you love Me?"In this episode, we'll unpack the lessons from Jesus and Peter's exchange — the threefold question mirroring Peter's threefold denial, the call to "feed My sheep," and the deeper invitation to agape love that surpasses fear, failure, and circumstance. We'll explore how answering "Yes, Lord, You know that I love You" with raw honesty can anchor us when everything else shakes. Because in the end, when all else fails — governments, alliances, protests, or plans — we are called to one unwavering thing: to love Jesus above all. That love becomes our strength, our guide, and our ultimate response in turbulent times.Join me as we examine this life-changing scriptural moment and discover how it speaks directly to the challenges we face right now. If your heart is weary from the headlines, if you're searching for clarity amid the storm, this episode is for you.Listen now, reflect deeply, and answer the question for yourself: Do you love Him?Subscribe to The Heart of God for more episodes that draw us closer to the Father's heart.
