For decades, we’ve heard that humans and chimpanzees share 99% of their DNA. But is that really true? In this episode of ID the Future, Casey Luskin unpacks the myth of human–chimp similarity and explains why new genetic research tells a very different story. From overlooked DNA differences to the limits of evolutionary assumptions, this conversation reveals how science is pointing to a much wider gap between humans and chimps than textbooks suggest.

Our DNA Proves We Were Designed

Hope in Courageous Witness (1 Peter 3:13–4:6)
Bridge Community Fellowship
Sunday 10-26-25 Worship Service
Living Hope in a Broken World: A Journey Through 1 Peter
Hope in Courageous Witness (1 Peter 3:13–4:6)
Big Idea for This Week: When Christ is Lord in your heart, courage becomes natural in your life.
Sermon Outline
1. Courage in Suffering (3:13–17)
• Blessed in Suffering — Even when we do good and suffer for it, we are blessed.
• Christ Honored as Lord — Courage begins by setting Christ apart in our hearts.
• Prepared to Give an Answer — Be ready to share your hope with gentleness and respect.
• A Clear Conscience — Live so that false accusations don’t stick; suffer for good, not for evil.
2. Confidence in Christ’s Victory (3:18–22)
• Christ’s Purpose in Suffering — He suffered once for sins to bring us to God.
• Christ’s Proclamation of Victory — Just as Noah stood firm in a corrupt world, Christ’s triumph reaches
even the darkest places.
• Christ’s Power and Reign — Baptism symbolizes our union with the risen Lord, who reigns over every
power and authority.
3. Commitment to Live for God (4:1–6)
• Adopt Christ’s Mindset — Arm yourselves; suffering refines our resolve to live for God’s will.
• Abandon the Old Life — The world won’t understand when you choose holiness over indulgence.
• Await God’s Vindication — The faithful will live with Christ forever, even as the world mocks.
Study Questions for Reflection
• Why does Peter call suffering for doing good a blessing?
• What does it look like to “honor Christ as Lord” in your heart daily?
• How does Christ’s suffering and resurrection give you confidence in witness?
• Where do you sense the temptation to compromise rather than stand firm?
• How can you live more openly and courageously for Christ this week?
Practical Challenges to Live Out Hope in Courageous Witness
• Speak Boldly, Live Gently — Be ready to explain your hope with both conviction and compassion.
• Stand Firm in Trials — Remember that suffering for righteousness is never wasted.
• Live for God’s Will — Choose holiness over comfort and obedience over approval.
• Rest in Christ’s Victory — The King who conquered death reigns over every circumstance.

Can Christianity Save Democracy? Os Guinness v Jonathan Rauch hosted by ...
Can Christianity save democracy? Vince Vitale hosts a frank, generous exchange between social critic Os Guinness and author Jonathan Rauch about faith’s civic foundations, liberalism, and power. This is one we’ve been looking forward to! Rauch, a scientific materialist, argues that democracy needs Christianity’s deepest teachings; Guinness locates America’s virtues in the Hebrew–Christian tradition.
Don’t miss the most moving moment: around the hour mark, Guinness turns to Rauch and apologises without caveat for the ways Christians have treated gay people like him. Rauch receives it with grace, and the room changes. It’s a rare, exemplary act of repentance that models the public virtue both men commend.
Is religion necessary for public virtue? What happens when politics replaces moral conviction? And how can Christians engage civically without being captured by partisan extremes? From the founding ideals of democracy to the spiritual crises of modern secularism, this discussion asks whether Christianity’s values of conscience, humility, and truth are exactly what our societies need most.

-- Why is there ongoing disagreement about when the Exodus occurred?
-- What did Titus recently discover inside Amenhotep II’s tomb?
-- What is Joel Kramer's favorite archaeological discovery from the Old Testament?

-- Is the Vatican in the right spot?
-- What archaeological proof exists for figures like Isaiah, Uzziah, Hezekiah, King David, Peter, Paul, and Jesus?
Get ready to literally and figuratively dig up the Bible as Frank and Titus reveal how archaeology continues to validate Scripture and challenge secular skepticism.
