Welcome to episode 222 of the Carpe Fide podcast, where we prove that the biblical response to evil is a healthy mix of soup kitchens and airstrikes.
This week, former Army sniper John Cooper drops in to talk about Iran. He starts off by giving us some background on how he saved the Niagara Gospel Mission from financial ruin by actually discipling the homeless, rather than just handing them clean needles like our hopelessly inept government. Since the government is terrible at social services, but biblically mandated to wield the sword, John argues we should leave the charity to the church and let the Department of War finally do its job.
Speaking of wielding the sword, the boys are thrilled that America is finally "swatting the fly" in Iran. They take a moment to mock selfish Americans who are whining about $3.85 gas prices while ignoring decades of terrorism. They also roast useless European "allies" who can't even defend their own oil, while praising Israel for actually doing the heavy lifting.
Finally, Justin unveils his ultimate "Trump Theory". If you want to understand the current administration, you have to treat it like a reality TV franchise: the current news cycle is just Season 1, while Trump is secretly filming Season 2 in the background.
Tune in to find out why the Iran conflict will miraculously end by the 4th of July, and learn how to guilt your church leadership into opening their wallets for a good cause. Seize the faith!
