    Why Israel Matters: A Conversation with Tina Kuo Graham

    Posted June 12, 2026 In this episode of The Kubik Report, Victor Kubik sits down with Tina Kuo Graham, Director of Operations at Eastgate Ministries International, for a thoughtful discussion about faith, biblical prophecy, Israel, and the challenges facing the next generation.  She is married to Ned Graham, who is the President of East Gates and the youngest son of the late Evangelist Billy and Ruth Graham.   Tina shares her personal journey to Christianity, beginning with the influence of a supervisor, John Smith, at Lockheed Missiles and Space Corporation. What started as workplace conversations eventually led her to a deeper understanding of the Bible and a lifelong commitment to faith. The conversation then turns to the Middle East and the significance of Israel in biblical prophecy. Tina explains why she views Israel as God's prophetic "time clock" and discusses how the Hamas attack of October 2023 became a watershed moment for Israeli society and for those watching world events through a biblical lens. She offers insights into the historical roots of anti-Semitism and how it has changed over time—from religious opposition, to racial prejudice, and now increasingly to disputes centered on land and national identity. Victor and Tina also explore the spiritual dimensions behind many of today's global conflicts, examining the concept of spiritual warfare and why the Middle East remains at the center of world attention. The discussion concludes with Tina's vision for the future through Eastgate Ministries International. She shares plans for an educational institute designed to disciple Generation Z, helping young people develop a strong biblical foundation while navigating the opportunities and challenges of an increasingly technology-driven world. Topics such as Sabbath observance, spiritual formation, healthy boundaries, and purposeful living are central to this mission. This episode offers a compelling blend of personal testimony, current events, prophetic perspective, and practical guidance for living faithfully in a rapidly changing world.

    The Kubik Report: From Army Special Forces to the LAPD — Alan Farber's Remarkable Story

    The Kubik Report: From Army Special Forces to the LAPD — Alan Farber's Remarkable Story What is it really like to serve in elite military units and then patrol some of America's toughest neighborhoods as a police officer? In this compelling episode of The Kubik Report, Victor Kubik sits down with his neighbor and friend, Alan Farber, whose life journey took him through two extraordinary careers: the U.S. Army Special Forces and the Los Angeles Police Department. Alan enlisted in the Army at age 18 and eventually became a member of the Special Forces, completing 55 parachute jumps and participating in sensitive missions during a tense period of world history. He shares firsthand accounts of military life, the discipline and courage required for special operations, and the realities behind experiences most people only see portrayed in movies. After his military service, Alan began a second career with the LAPD, serving in Los Angeles during challenging years that tested both officers and communities. He reflects on life as a police officer, the dangers, the difficult decisions, and the human side of law enforcement. More than a story about adventure and risk, this conversation reveals the character, sensitivity, and perspective that come from a lifetime of service. Alan's candid recollections provide a fascinating look behind the headlines and Hollywood portrayals of both military and police work. Alan and his wife, Becki, have been neighbors of Victor and Beverly for nearly three years. Their friendship inspired this engaging conversation that offers listeners a rare glimpse into an extraordinary life. You won't want to miss this insightful and memorable episode.

    Victor Kubik: Ruth, the Church and Pentecost - A Beautiful Story

    This is a message that I gave to the Indianapolis United Church of God on May 9, 2026, about the Book of Ruth.  A book of four chapters and only 85 verses that tells a story that's deeper than a love story.  It's a story of God's love for His Church, His love for all mankind.  Ruth was a foreigner who was in the direct descent to Jesus Christ.
