In this episode of The World View, Alex Kocman examines several stories shaping the global conversation and asks a deeper question: why does so much of human history revolve around the person of Jesus Christ?

First, the escalating conflict between Israel and Iran once again puts the Middle East at the center of global attention. But beneath the geopolitics lies a deeper reality: the world's major conflicts are tied to the competing claims of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam—and ultimately to the question Jesus asked his disciples: “Who do you say that I am?”

Next, Alex addresses reports of a missile strike on a school in Iran and what Christian moral teaching says about war, the dignity of human life, and the principles of just war theory developed by Augustine and Aquinas.

Then we examine troubling survey data showing a decline in pro-life convictions among churchgoers, and what that reveals about the influence of culture on modern evangelicalism.

Finally, Alex discusses the growing debate about pastoral sabbaticals, the state of masculinity in the church, and whether modern ministries are producing fewer missionary-minded men like William Carey and Hudson Taylor.

If the church is growing softer, what kind of Christianity are we exporting to the world?
