The Daily Article Podcast offers news discerned differently every Monday through Friday morning. With biblical insight into the day’s latest news and current events, this narrated edition of Dr. Jim Denison’s email newsletter presents a nonpartisan perspective on what’s happening now and how Christians can respond biblically to the culture at large.

President Trump sparked discussion after telling Ross Douthat on 60 Minutes that he hopes to go to heaven but probably cannot forgive some of his political enemies. His comments raise questions that extend well beyond politics: What does Christianity actually teach about salvation and forgiveness? Scripture makes clear that we are saved by grace rather than works, yet that same grace should transform how we treat those who hurt us. Biblical forgiveness is not a feeling or an excuse for wrongdoing—it is a choice that can set both parties free.About Denison Forum and The Daily ArticleToday’s Daily Article was written by Dr. Jim Denison.

Donald Trump, Ross Douthat, and biblical forgiveness

Operation Green Light for Veterans is illuminating buildings across the country this Veterans Day as Americans honor those who have served and sacrificed for our freedoms. Parades, ceremonies, free admission, and other gestures offer meaningful expressions of gratitude, but they cannot fully repay the time, hardship, and lives given on our behalf. That unpayable debt makes gratitude an act of grace—and invites Christians to go beyond saying thank you by praying for veterans’ peace, healing, protection, and the ultimate end of war.About Denison Forum and The Daily ArticleToday’s Daily Article was written by Dr. Jim Denison.

The Pete Hegseth impeachment effort could force a House vote this week, with Rep. Thomas Massie accusing the defense secretary of unlawfully prosecuting the Iran war and other military actions. The controversy illustrates how events thousands of miles away can directly affect leaders and lives at home. Even the way we label places like the “Middle East” reflects our tendency to view the world from where we stand. But when God looks at the world, each person is fully known and loved—not because of our status or success, but because of his grace.About Denison Forum and The Daily ArticleToday’s Daily Article was written by Dr. Jim Denison.

Will the House of Representatives impeach Pete Hegseth?

President Trump’s decision to name Stephen Miller chief of staff following Republican midterm losses comes as Democrats prepare to use their new congressional majorities for investigations and policy battles. The competing responses raise a larger question: Should leaders give people what they want, or what they believe is ultimately best for them? Christians face a similar tension in an increasingly secular culture, where biblical convictions can be dismissed as intolerant. Following Jesus requires trusting that God knows what is best—even when obedience carries a cost.About Denison Forum and The Daily ArticleToday’s Daily Article was written by Dr. Jim Denison.

While midterm election results continue to dominate the headlines, new research into the first-century historian Josephus offers a more encouraging story. Scholar T. C. Schmidt argues that Josephus’s famous account of Jesus may be authentic and that he likely received information from Jerusalem leaders personally connected to Jesus’ trial. The findings offer another reason to take the historical claims of Christianity seriously—and a reminder that doubt does not have to be the enemy of faith.About Denison Forum and The Daily ArticleToday’s Daily Article was written by Dr. Ryan Denison.

New evidence for an ancient truth: How new research defends Josephus’s words on Jesus

Rachel Apa was just two miles from finishing her first New York City Marathon when she collapsed and later died, a tragedy made more shocking by her youth and athletic background. Her death is a painful reminder that life rarely unfolds as predictably as we expect. From sudden accidents to political uncertainty, much of our future remains beyond our control. Christians, however, are not called merely to prepare for uncertainty but to depend on the God who sees what we cannot—and to let that faith transform how we engage the world around us.About Denison Forum and The Daily ArticleToday’s Daily Article was written by Dr. Jim Denison.

The 2026 midterm election results gave Democrats control of both the House and Senate, with notable victories across the country and major Democratic gains in Texas. Whatever our reaction to the outcome, peaceful elections in which voters can constrain those already in power remain a remarkable feature of American democracy. Yet growing distrust and political division threaten that system from within. Christians have an opportunity to model a different way forward—grounded in truth, civility, forgiveness, and a hope that does not depend on who holds political power.About Denison Forum and The Daily ArticleToday’s Daily Article was written by Dr. Jim Denison.

Responding to the “blue wave” that swept the country

The 2026 midterm elections are underway after record early voting, including a historic mail-in ballot from Pope Leo XIV. Even the reason Americans vote on Tuesdays reflects a time when religious practice was woven more naturally into public life. Today, faith and secular life are often treated as separate spheres, including in politics. But as Americans’ trust in one another declines, Christians have an opportunity to approach political disagreement differently—allowing God’s love to shape not only how we vote but how we speak about and treat those who vote differently.About Denison Forum and The Daily ArticleToday’s Daily Article was written by Dr. Jim Denison.

Halloween offers a rare moment when a death-avoidant culture becomes openly fascinated with mortality, cemeteries, and the afterlife. Christians once worshiped among the graves of fellow believers, viewing death through the hope of resurrection rather than fear, and even Halloween itself developed partly through Christian efforts to redirect pagan traditions toward faith. Today, the holiday can still create opportunities to talk about death and eternal hope—but engaging it wisely requires discernment rather than either embracing everything or avoiding it out of fear.About Denison Forum and The Daily ArticleToday’s Daily Article was written by Dr. Ryan Denison.

Cuba’s collapse has left its people facing deteriorating infrastructure, shortages, and a government many increasingly blame for their suffering. The crisis offers a sobering picture of what can happen when a nation builds itself around a human ideology rather than God.

Dictionary.com named “maxxing” its 2026 Word of the Year, capturing a culture increasingly focused on optimizing life according to our own priorities. At the same time, recent riots in France illustrate the danger of a society in which individuals claim the right to determine not only what is best but what is justified. In a post-truth culture with fewer shared moral standards, Christians have a vital alternative to offer: biblical truth that does more than guide behavior—it confronts the heart and calls us toward repentance.About Denison Forum and The Daily ArticleToday’s Daily Article was written by Dr. Jim Denison.

His selfless actions are an encouraging reminder of the goodness people are capable of—but other headlines reveal humanity’s darker impulses just as clearly.

Massive France protests over school funding and rising living costs have drawn comparisons to the French Revolution and renewed questions about the country’s secular foundations. But the tension between religion and secularism is not confined to France. American culture can quietly train even committed Christians to treat God as a means to our own happiness and success rather than as Lord. Resisting that influence requires more than belief—it requires the daily choice to surrender control and let Jesus lead.About Denison Forum and The Daily ArticleToday’s Daily Article was written by Dr. Jim Denison.

Israel’s October 27 election could have far-reaching consequences as the country navigates war with Iran, an uneasy peace in Gaza, and shifting relationships across the Middle East. Yet even after the votes are counted, forming a governing coalition could take weeks. Beyond the policies at stake, the election highlights how leadership is shaped not only by what someone does but by how they do it.

Artificial intelligence delivered some encouraging news this week: researchers used AI to uncover a critical security flaw affecting much of the web, while new research suggests AI models may be easier to understand and control than previously believed. Both developments highlight humanity’s growing power to create technologies capable of tremendous good or harm. But the same tension exists within us. Knowing what is right is not enough—we need God not only to show us his will but to transform our hearts so that we genuinely want to follow it.About Denison Forum and The Daily ArticleToday&#39;s Daily Article was written by Dr. Jim Denison.

Good news about AI is “a major moment in scientific history”

Russia released US citizen Stephen Hubbard this morning, but another development is raising new concerns: a Russian military satellite recently maneuvered dangerously close to a US commercial satellite supporting Ukraine. Combined with threats to undersea internet cables, the incident is fueling warnings about a future space war or even wider global conflict. After years of successive crises, “pessimism fatigue” is understandable. But faith offers more than reassurance that God is in control—it calls us to submit to him and actively obey his will.About Denison Forum and The Daily ArticleToday&#39;s Daily Article was written by Dr. Jim Denison.

Russian satellite menaces US craft in orbit

With early voting underway for the 2026 midterms, Americans face decisions that will shape the future of their communities and country. But how should Christians approach the ballot box when candidates and parties rarely align perfectly with biblical values? Scripture offers principles for civic responsibility, but putting them into practice requires discernment. As voters weigh public policy, party alignment, and personal character, what should guide their decisions, and why does a leader’s private life matter as much as their public positions?About Denison Forum and The Daily ArticleToday&#39;s Daily Article was written by Dr. Jim Denison.

How Christians should vote in the midterm elections

Billy Crystal says he no longer trusts God after losing his longtime home to wildfire and his close friend Rob Reiner, explaining that “too many bad things have happened.” His response echoes one of the most difficult questions of faith: If God is loving and powerful, why doesn’t he prevent suffering? While we may never understand why God allows a particular tragedy, past examples of suffering redeemed for greater good can give us reason to trust that even our darkest circumstances are not beyond his redemptive work.About Denison Forum and The Daily ArticleToday&#39;s Daily Article was written by Dr. Jim Denison.

Why Billy Crystal no longer trusts in God

https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/pod-public-media-files/2026/10/16/11/cea6eeaa-56ee-40c2-b88f-5a003ffc00f5_r-god-in-the-oregon-school-shooting-2026-10-16.mp3

The Silver Rail shooting in Bend, Oregon, left three children and a teacher dead after a sixteen-year-old opened fire inside an elementary school. A nearby community member intervened, stopping the attack before more of the nearly five hundred people on campus were harmed. In the aftermath, grief can make it difficult to reconcile tragedy with belief in a good and powerful God. Yet even our outrage at such evil points to something deeper: we know this world is not as it should be—and that longing can lead us toward the hope only God can provide.About Denison Forum and The Daily ArticleToday&#39;s Daily Article was written by Dr. Jim Denison.
