On the second anniversary of the Hamas massacre of October 7, 2023, the Provcrew sits down to review Donald Trump's proposal for ending the war. Although it's a good plan with significant support, many ambiguities and questions remain. Will the Arab states step up? Will the Israeli far-right bring down the Netanyahu government? And will Hamas fighters really put down their weapons?
Turning closer to home, the crew then takes up the Trump Pentagon's new national defense strategy which centers on "hemispheric security" in North and South America. Is this just rhetoric for domestic politics? What does it mean for our competition with China?

Ep. 101 | So Reinhold Niebuhr and John Wesley Walk into a Bar…
(…actually, Wesley was a teetotaler so not possible.)
Ladies and gentlemen, the Provcrew is at war. “Can you be a Wesleyan Protestant and a Christian realist?”
The battle lines are drawn. Providence editor Mark Tooley, a Methodist Christian realist, says yes; editor at large Robert Nicholson, a non-Methodist who knows about John Wesley’s optimistic theology, is skeptical. To break the deadlock, they hosted Methodist theologian and Reinhold Niebuhr scholar Robin Lovin to set the record straight.
Sin, grace, anthropology, eschatology, nationalism, fascism—they got to all of it. And the outcome was surprising.
