As tensions in the Middle East continue to escalate, it feels like our whole world is waiting for that “other shoe” to drop. Could what’s currently happening in Israel be a sign of the end times? On today’s episode of The Greg Laurie Show, Pastor Greg goes there: diving deep into the prophetic landscape surrounding Israel, Iran, and biblical eschatology, and offering insight into current events, history, and Scripture like never before.

Plus, Speaker of the House Mike Johnson joins Pastor Greg halfway through the episode to share his firsthand perspectives on the political realities and moral challenges America faces as global alliances shift—and why “desperate times call for desperate measures.” Together, Pastor Greg and Mike talk candidly about the threat posed by Iran’s nuclear ambitions, the role of the church during troubled times, and the spiritual implications for believers. Don’t miss this timely episode.
