Remembering 9/11: The Tragedy That Turned America Back to God

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/5e27a451-e6e6-4c51-aa03-a7370003783c/clips/c0abb5ec-26f8-4883-8645-b4c001760b32/transcript

What if 150 years of biblical archaeology hasn't produced a single find that contradicts the Bible?

That's the claim Dinesh D'Souza makes in this conversation about his new book, The Stones Cry Out. We talk about the artifacts quietly coming out of the ground in Israel — including the bones of Caiaphas, the clay seal of a minor character from Jeremiah, and the recently confirmed location of Bethsaida — and why most of this isn't being shouted from the rooftops.

We also get into:
- Why younger generations are drawn to socialism (and how "crony capitalism" fuels it)
- The modern state of Israel as prophecy fulfilled
- Why Dinesh has been publicly challenging Calvinism
- The Pool of Siloam, the Garden Tomb, and the Church of the Holy Sepulchre
- His years inside the Reagan administration
- A lunch with Richard Nixon
- Fried bananas, My Cousin Vinny, and Breaker Morant

Dinesh is a filmmaker, author, and friend, and this one covers a lot of ground — from apologetics to American history to personal stories.

Does Archaeology Prove the Bible Is True? | Dinesh D’Souza

Rick Rubin is considered by many to be the greatest music producer alive today. His work spans the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Run-DMC, Adele, U2, Neil Diamond, and his legendary American Recordings with Johnny Cash.

He has also become one of the most influential voices in culture. His interviews include Paul McCartney in McCartney 3,2,1 and Jay-Z in the HBO series JAŸ-Z in 8. On his podcast, Tetragrammaton, he recently sat down with Neil Young.

Now add one more name to that list: Pastor Greg Laurie.

In this unusual episode, legendary producer Rick Rubin turns the microphone around and interviews Greg about his life, faith, and the Jesus Movement that shaped him. The conversation moves at the pace of a long dinner between curious friends. Greg answers Rick's questions about faith, baptism, communion, the Holy Spirit, the Sabbath, and whether the God of the Old Testament really differs from the God of the New. He also speaks candidly about losing his son Christopher and what grief taught him about ministering to people in pain.

Legendary Producer Rick Rubin Asks Greg Laurie About God & The Meaning Of Life

What would you have done during the Holocaust? Rev. Jonnie Moore says that's no longer a hypothetical question.

In this conversation, Pastor Greg Laurie sits down with Johnnie Moore—advisor to presidents, humanitarian, and one of the most connected evangelical voices on the global stage—three years after the October 7th attacks on Israel.

We cover:
• What actually happened on October 7th (and why the world moved on too quickly)
• Hamas, Iran, and the reshaping of the Middle East
• The surge of antisemitism on both the left and the right
• Feeding Gaza while Hamas stole aid
• Sharing the gospel with Muslims and Jews
• Why Silicon Valley is quietly calling pastors about AI
• What President Trump is really like behind closed doors
• The best piece of advice Johnnie ever received — from a rabbi

Johnnie grew up moving 20 times before age 12, ended up at Liberty under Jerry Falwell Sr., and now works at the intersection of faith, foreign policy, and emerging technology. His story — and his warnings — are worth your time.
