    With Tina Kuo Graham: What Antisemitism Really Is - The World's Oldest Hatred and its Spiritual Roots

    In this compelling episode of The Kubik Report, I welcome back Tina Graham for a thoughtful discussion about the historical, spiritual, and prophetic dimensions of antisemitism. Drawing from Scripture, history, and current events, Tina explains why Christians should be concerned about the rise of antisemitism around the world while recognizing that the Bible foretold many of these developments. The conversation explores God's covenant relationship with Israel, the spiritual forces behind antisemitism, and how hostility toward the Jewish people has evolved over the centuries—from religious persecution to racial prejudice and modern anti-Israel movements. Tina traces these themes through biblical accounts including the Exodus, David and Goliath, Esther, and Haman's plot against the Jews, connecting ancient events to today's geopolitical tensions. I share personal reflections from growing up among Jewish friends and neighbors in Minnesota and discusses how misunderstanding, envy, and prejudice have often fueled hostility toward Jewish communities. Together they examine the historical origins of the name "Palestine," the significance of Jerusalem in biblical prophecy, and the remarkable rebirth of Israel as a nation in 1948. Whether you are interested in history, current events, biblical prophecy, or the Middle East, this episode offers valuable insight into one of the world's oldest and most persistent forms of hatred. Topics discussed: What antisemitism really is The biblical roots of antisemitism Spiritual warfare and God's covenant with Israel Historical persecution of the Jewish people Israel's rebirth in 1948 and its prophetic significance Jerusalem's central role in God's plan Ancient conflicts and modern Middle East tensions The historical origins of the term "Palestine" Lessons Christians can learn from current events Guest: Tina Graham, Director of Operations, Eastgate Ministries International Subscribe to The Kubik Report for thoughtful conversations on faith, history, culture, and the events shaping our world today.

    Light of Hope Helpline https://www.ucg.org/light-of-hope 888 241-6211   Society is experiencing profound changes in how it views sexuality, marriage, gender identity, and personal relationships. These developments have created confusion for many Christians seeking to remain faithful to biblical teachings while responding with compassion to those facing difficult personal struggles. In this episode of The Kubik Report, Victor Kubik speaks with Dr. Roy Fouch, a licensed professional clinical counselor, psychologist, and Director of Mental Health at the Hamilton County Justice Center in Ohio. Drawing from decades of counseling experience, Dr. Fouch examines the cultural shifts often described as the "new sexual revolution" and discusses their impact on individuals, families, and communities. Topics include pornography addiction, same-sex attraction, homosexuality, transgender identity, the influence of modern culture, and the importance of understanding God's purpose for human sexuality.

A major focus of the conversation is hope. No matter how deeply a person may struggle, God's grace, forgiveness, and transforming power remain available. Dr. Fouch emphasizes the need for Christians to uphold biblical truth while extending Christlike love, compassion, and understanding to everyone. The discussion also highlights Light of Hope, a confidential counseling and referral service sponsored by the United Church of God that helps individuals and families facing emotional, mental health, addiction, and relationship challenges.

    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.
