We are at war. Not with a foreign government or domestic terrorists or a creepy new artificial intelligence hell-bent on taking over the world.

But moments before that historic step, Aldrin poured a specially prepared drink into a cup and partook in a sacred celebration that had first occurred two thousand years before. In this five-session study, bestselling author and pastor Levi Lusko journeys back in time and forward in hope, using the 1969 lunar mission as an analogy of the metamorphosis that was unleashed by the man from Galilee.

In 2020, many Christians claiming to be prophets said God told them that Donald Trump would be re-elected as president.
