Documentary Evidence and Federal Scrutiny

Violence and faith are rarely discussed in the same sentence… yet the Bible contains warriors who were honored by God. We start by looking at the Hebrew word often translated as “murder.” Does the commandment actually forbid all killing, or is the meaning more specific than most people realize? Understanding that distinction changes how we view justice, protection, and the defense of the innocent.

That question leads directly into the story of Sam Childers. Once a violent outlaw biker, Childers experienced a radical transformation that took him to the war zones of East Africa, where children were being kidnapped and forced into militias. Instead of simply observing the crisis, he began rescuing them, sometimes in the middle of active conflict with warlords connected to figures like Joseph Kony. We previously recorded an interview with Sam, and tonight we’re sharing that conversation with the full audience. His story raises uncomfortable questions about faith, violence, and what it really means to defend the vulnerable when evil is operating in the open.

Please pray for Tony's wife, Lindsay, as she battles breast cancer. Your prayers make a difference!
