Today we're talking more about the situation between Russia and Ukraine with Josh Hammer, opinion editor for Newsweek and host of "The Josh Hammer Show." Josh has been following the torrent of updates as closely as anyone, and together we try to figure out just what the heck is going on amid the misinformation that both sides are putting out. Turns out many of the viral videos and stories supposedly coming out of Ukraine are misleading at best and outright false at worst, and it's nearly impossible to verify much of the information we're seeing on sites like Twitter and TikTok. Then to close things out, we turn to a more theological note as we consider how Christians should react as times get tougher all over the world.
