    Are We Terrorists?

    In this episode of Wake Up Look Up, pastor Zach tackles the provocative question: "Are we terrorists?" Prompted by a recent article portraying a subset of Christians as radical threats, Zach delves into the New Apostolic Reformation and its politically charged "Courage Tour." He clarifies that this group represents a tiny fraction of the larger Christian community, emphasizing that most Christians prioritize love, neighborliness, and faith over political allegiances.

He encourages listeners to consider therapy as a means to seek peace, drawing on biblical teachings to underscore the importance of reconciliation, forgiveness, and healing within family dynamics.

    Teaching Them To Read

    In this episode of Wake Up Look Up, Zach Weihrauch addresses a troubling trend: declining literacy among college students, even at prestigious institutions. Studies show that many students struggle to read entire books, a skill vital for critical thinking and self-reflection. Zach links this decline to a spiritual concern, noting that God communicates through the Bible, which requires reading and engagement. He challenges parents and church communities to prioritize reading, sharing his own strategy of incentivizing his children to read. Zach emphasizes that fostering a love for reading not only benefits academics but also deepens one's connection to God.

    Getting Away With Mass Murder

    In this episode, Zach delves into the horrors of the Holocaust as revealed by a newly published diary from a Polish journalist in 1940s Lithuania. Zach discusses the harrowing stories of mass executions of Jews by the Nazis and reflects on the idea of accountability. While Nazi soldiers may have thought they were getting away with their crimes, the diary serves as a testament to their atrocities, now known to history. Zach connects this to an important spiritual truth: God sees everything, and no one escapes His judgment. Yet, through Jesus Christ, forgiveness and grace are available to all.

    How To Fix Your Economy
