Prosecutors say he may be in violation of the FACE Act, a law usually used in abortion clinic cases. In this episode, ADF president Kristen Waggoner explains what happened during the church protest, whether Lemon's First Amendment defense holds up, and why the FACE Act is suddenly at the center of this case.

She embarked on her intermittent fasting journey after being introduced to the concept by a friend in September 2020. Initially drawn to the health and wellness benefits, Lisa found that fasting helped her manage stress-related eating and maintain her weight more effectively. Although she didn't have a significant amount of weight to lose initially, intermittent fasting provided a structure that helped her navigate fluctuations due to stress and lifestyle changes. Over time, Lisa has experienced weight loss and weight maintenance, finding a balance that supports her health goals while allowing her to enjoy a flexible, plant-based diet.Takeaways:• Lisa started intermittent fasting after being introduced to it by a friend. She began with the "Intermittent Fasting Podcast" and found it aligned with her interest in health and wellness.• Lisa transitioned to a vegan diet before starting intermittent fasting. She experimented with her diet, including a period of increased protein intake, but ultimately returned to a plant-based diet, occasionally including eggs and some dairy.• Lisa emphasizes modeling positive behavior for her daughters, focusing on being a positive role model as a tall woman and encouraging them to make healthy food choices without emphasizing diet culture.• Lisa acknowledges being a stress eater and discusses how intermittent fasting helps her manage food intake during stressful times.• Lisa values the support and resources available through podcasts and communities, which help her stay informed and motivated on her health journey.At the end of the episode, Lisa encourages listeners to fast clean, and to keep track of their fasts/windows. She also emphasizes not to start ADF too soon and to listen to your body along the way.Join Gin in the new Fast Feast Repeat app for The Grown-Up Year: 52 Weeks to Listen, Play, and Nourish, as well as a growing collection of intermittent fasting resources.

On this week's podcast, I speak with former NSW General Duties Police Officer Ben O'Brien. Ben was born and raised in Sydney. Ben comes from a strong ADF family background. Ben's grandfather was a World War II veteran. Ben had a Great uncle who landed on Gallipoli and an uncle who served in Vietnam. Ben's path to the Police wasn't the normal way. He was expelled from school; Ben went off the rails and into a bad lifestyle. He had been going down the wrong path, he cleaned up his act, turned his life around and joined the NSW Police in 2011. He graduated in 2012. He was stationed at Harbourside LAC, then over the next 14 years, serving right across Sydney. Ben served for 14 years across multiple units, working in plain clothes, attending everything from DV, MVA's, suicides, critical incidents and a nursing home fire. Ben and two of his colleagues saved a few oldies from a nursing home on fire. Ben got smoke inhalation and was hospitalised. All over the news, radio and Ben and his colleagues were interviewed by Ben Fordham on 2GB. In 2025, after years of attending traumatic jobs, it took its toll on Ben until one night he got to breaking point. Ben had made peace that this shift was going to be his last. He went to Balmoral beach Mosman, sat in the car, pulled out his gun, and had it sitting on his lap. The darkest time in his life. He was so close to doing it until his best mate came into my head, who had previously killed himself. The pain and loss from his mistake changed Ben's life and mind that night. Ben knew he needed help, Ben was diagnosed with PTSD and was medically retired from the NSW Police after 14 years' service, Ben suffered what every veteran and first responders face when they transition out of service and how to find purpose as a civilian, this is a raw and honest chat about life as a general duties police officer and what they face on a day to day basis protecting the community.

En RD Congo, le ADF, groupe armé qui a prêté allégeance à l'État islamique, est à l'origine depuis le début de l'année d'une nouvelle vague de violences meurtrières...

Pendant trois jours, autorités politiques et militaires de la province du Nord Kivu se sont réunies à l'occasion d'un forum pour la paix.. L'occasion de revenir sur les opérations militaires menées depuis 10 ans, avec un succès mitigé...

Tiffany is a project manager for cancer research educational programming specific to cancer immunotherapy. Tiffany shares her journey with intermittent fasting, which she began in January 2023. She was motivated by a desire to feel better in her body without the constant need for intense exercise. Tiffany discusses her lifelong struggle with rheumatoid arthritis, diagnosed at age seven, and how traditional medications with severe side effects led her to explore more holistic approaches. Through fasting, she has experienced significant improvements in her health, including reduced inflammation and fatigue, and a newfound sense of comfort in her own skin.Tiffany emphasizes the importance of real, whole foods and the impact of diet on overall well-being. She recounts her experiences growing up in a community that valued food as medicine and how this shaped her approach to health. Tiffany also highlights the emotional aspects of eating and how fasting has helped her establish healthier boundaries with food. She shares her active lifestyle, including hiking and daily exercise, and the benefits of metabolic flexibility gained through fasting.Takeaways:• Clean fasting can significantly improve energy levels.• Transformative health changes can happen at any age.• Personal struggles with health can lead to profound insights.• The journey to better health often starts with small changes.• Feeling amazing is possible after years of struggle.The episode concludes with Tiffany's advice for those new to intermittent fasting: be patient, focus on health beyond weight loss, and embrace the journey of self-discovery and wellness.Join Gin in the new Fast Feast Repeat app for The Grown-Up Year: 52 Weeks to Listen, Play, and Nourish, as well as a growing collection of intermittent fasting resources.

La Asociación Diabetes Ferrolterra (ADF) y la Sociedad de Diabetes de Cartagena y Comarca (SODICAR) han formalizado un acuerdo de hermanamiento que une a dos comunidades marcadas por su tradición naval y su compromiso con la salud. Ambas ciudades, Ferrol y Cartagena, comparten la condición de sedes de las principales Bases Navales de la Armada Española, así como la actividad industrial de Navantia. El constante traslado de personal militar y familias entre ambos destinos ha impulsado la creación de una red de apoyo estable para personas con diabetes. Gracias al acuerdo, los socios de SODICAR desplazados a Galicia contarán con el respaldo directo de ADF y de la Federación Gallega de Asociaciones de Personas con Diabetes (FEGADI), que extiende la cobertura a toda la comunidad. Asimismo, entidades como la Asociación Coruñesa de Diabetes, la Asociación Compostelana de Personas con Diabetes y la Asociación Diabética Auria de Ourense colaborarán en la atención a los desplazados. Del mismo modo, los socios de Ferrolterra recibirán apoyo integral en Cartagena. “Nos une el mar y el cuidado de nuestra gente”, destacan ambas directivas, subrayando que esta alianza elimina barreras y refuerza recursos compartidos.
The Aussie market caught its breath on Friday, finishing almost completely flat after a massive week that saw the ASX 200 finally scale new record heights. While the index took a minor five-point dip today, it still locked in a nearly 2% gain for the week—its best performance since May. Reporting season remained the primary driver of volatility. QBE Insurance surged after a profit jump, while shipbuilder Austal climbed on a new $4 billion ADF contract. However, the retail space was bruised; Guzman y Gomez slumped to a record low despite rising profits. Ingham's also plummeted 13% following a profit warning and dividend cut. With Nvidia and Aussie inflation data on the horizon, the focus now shifts to whether the market can sustain its record-breaking momentum next week.

She first heard about intermittent fasting in 2016, when a friend recommended Gin's work, but even though she was inspired by Gin's story, she didn't think intermittent fasting was for her. At 5' 4”, she was stuck at a weight set point of around 152 pounds, even though she could lose weight—but then she would go right back up to 152 pounds, and she didn't feel good in her body.In the summer of 2020, she started working out consistently, and her friend and trainer recommended intermittent fasting. She still didn't think she could do it—until one day in November. On November 11, she woke up and started fasting clean that day. She has been fasting ever since.She now weighs 122 pounds, and has lost the constant food noise that plagued her prior to becoming an intermittent faster. She is on a muscle-building journey, and at the age of 66, her daily eating window from 11-6 each day plus working out allows her to easily build muscle and she feels strong and also feels comfortable in her body. At the end of the episode, Liz tells new intermittent fasters that it's simple—just start by skipping breakfast.Join Gin in the new Fast Feast Repeat app for The Grown-Up Year: 52 Weeks to Listen, Play, and Nourish, as well as a growing collection of intermittent fasting resources.

In this research-focused episode, Dr. Scott Watier and Tommy Welling break down a groundbreaking four-week study from the Journal of Clinical Nutrition comparing alternate day fasting (true zero-calorie fasting days alternating with unrestricted eating days) against standard 16:8 time-restricted eating, revealing that ADF produced £1.4 more total fat loss and significantly greater visceral fat reduction than daily intermittent fasting—the stubborn metabolic fat that drives disease. The hosts emphasize the surprising finding that the ADF group was the only one showing increased activity energy expenditure and improved quality of life scores despite being in an aggressive caloric deficit, demonstrating that people actually felt better and moved more naturally rather than experiencing the typical diet misery. They provide crucial context on metabolic adaptation, explaining why the slight decrease in resting metabolic rate and T3 thyroid hormone with ADF only becomes problematic if prolonged, which is why they recommend strategic 2-4 week ADF cycles followed by foundational 16:8 or 18:6 fasting to protect metabolism while still achieving powerful visceral fat loss. This episode delivers the practical framework for using ADF as an intermittent power tool within a sustainable fast-cycling lifestyle—not as a white-knuckle permanent strategy like Angus Barbieri's 382-day fast or repeated brutal 72-hour fasts—while protecting muscle mass through resistance training and adequate protein to create lasting body composition changes without sacrificing energy, sanity, or long-term metabolic health.

Earlier this week I had the privilege of being in the room while our Supreme Court justices heard the case for defending biblical truth in girls' sports. This was not just one, but two historic legal battles fighting for fairness and safeguarding female athletics from biological male participation. After hearing these brave young women share their stories firsthand, I got to sit down with Alliance Defending Freedom's (ADF) Kate Anderson to talk through how these cases made it to our nation's highest Court, and what the justices' decision could mean for Title IX and gender as defined by law. Together Kate and I discussed the West Virginia and Idaho cases that brought us here, and the bravery of our girls to speak up when they saw injustice. Plus we took a look at the personal story of Adela Cross, the track athlete from West Virginia whose spot was taken by a biological male athlete. Later on in the episode we shifted our focus to the fight for parental rights. As more public schools put in place policies that deceive parents—like those mandating gender transitions be kept secret—we looked at how ADF is fighting to ensure parents, not schools, have the final say in how to raise their children. The cases before the Court this week are not just about isolated incidents in two states, the justices' decision will shape how our girls are able to do what they love—and feel safe doing so—for generations to come. This is not a political issue, it's a Genesis 1 issue, and comes down to the biblical definition of God creating us male and female. Pray for wisdom and discernment as the justices deliberate, and together let's stand fearlessly for what's right.
Attorney Suzanne Beecher of ADF discuss the current situation with the Supreme Court, gender ideology and women's sports. Fact Check Friday continues with more on the Court's activities. Daniel Bielinski, Catholic director and writer, talks about the new movie "Hazel's Heart". Plus, Conor Dugan joins to talk about balancing life as Catholic attorney.

It's Monday, January 5th, A.D. 2026. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com. I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Adam McManus Muslims in Congo, Africa kill 15 The New Year began in chaos and mourning for residents of Katanga village in North Kivu, in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, reports International Christian Concern. As families gathered to welcome 2026, armed Muslim fighters from the Allied Democratic Forces, or ADF, carried out a deadly nighttime incursion, killing at least 15 people on Thursday, January 1. Working with the global Islamic State movement, the ADF is among the most dangerous terrorist groups in Congo. Venezuelan dictator captured in daring U.S. raid Venezuelans are celebrating in the streets. (Audio of celebration) Venezuelan dictator Nicolas Maduro was seized by the United States Army's secretive Delta Force unit in a daring raid on his heavily-secured compound, reports the Daily Mail. CBS News reported that the ultra-elite Delta Force unit was behind the capture of Maduro, and his wife Cilia, in the early hours of Saturday morning. The couple was seized from their bedroom in the dead of night by U.S. forces as they slept, according to CNN. The raid did not lead to any U.S. casualties. The pair was snatched by helicopter from Caracas after they had been monitored by CIA spies, with President Donald Trump giving the order to take them two days ago. President Trump says Maduro and his government have conspired to flood the United States with illegal drugs, and will now face trial in the U.S. on drugs and weapons trafficking charges. Secretary of State Marco Rubio spoke at a Saturday press conference. RUBIO: “Nicolas Maduro had multiple opportunities to avoid this. He was provided multiple very, very, very generous offers, and chose instead to act like a wild man, chose instead to play around. “The 47th president of the United States is not a game player. When he tells you that he's going to do something, when he tells you he's going to address a problem, he means it. “The President doesn't go out looking for people to pick fights with. Generally, he wants to get along with everybody. We'll talk and meet with anybody. But don't play games. Don't play games while this President's in office, because it's not going to turn out well. I guess that lesson was learned last night, and we hope it will be instructive moving forward.” Biden's DOJ pressured FBI to raid Mar-a-Lago Newly-declassified documents show that President Joe Biden's Department of Justice pressured the FBI to conduct the infamous 2022 raid of then-former President Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago home – even though the FBI repeatedly warned that such a raid was unwarranted, reports NewsBusters.org. In an X.com post last Tuesday, Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley, a Republican from Iowa, wrote, “FBI did not believe it had probable cause to raid Pres. Trump's Mar-a-Lago home, but Biden DOJ pushed for it anyway. Based on the records, Mar-a-Lago raid was a miscarriage of justice.” Grassley linked to the documents posted online, which detail communications between the DOJ and the FBI. Brent Bozell confirmed as U.S. Ambassador to South Africa Last Thursday, the U.S. Senate confirmed Media Research Center founder Brent Bozell as U.S. Ambassador to South Africa, despite obstructionist tactics by Democrats, reports CNSNews.com. By a 53-43 vote, the Senate approved Bozell to fill the post vacated by former ambassador Reuben Brigety, who resigned in January. BOZELL: “I will communicate our objections to South Africa's geo-strategic drift from non-alignment toward our competitors including Russia, China and Iran. “I'll press South Africa to end proceedings against Israel before the International Court of Justice. “Second, I will advance the President's invitation to Afrikaners who wish to flee unjust racial discrimination. “I will support the President's call for the South African government to rescind its support for the expropriation of private property without compensation.” Bozell served as president of the Media Research Center from its founding in 1987 until May of this year when he stepped down to be ambassador. His son, David Bozell, now leads the Media Research Center. Mom upset school secretly socially transitioned her daughter A mother in Maine, named Amber Lavigne, had her parental rights usurped by school officials when a guidance counselor secretly gave her gender-confused 13-year-old daughter a chest binder and referred to her by using a male name and pronouns. A chest binder is used to flatten the breasts of a trans-identified girl to help her pretend to be a boy. With the help of the Goldwater Institute, Lavigne is taking the school to the Supreme Court, reports The Christian Post. LAVIGNE: “I don't want to lose my daughter to the state, even as she grows into an adult, I'll always be her mom.” When she confronted her daughter about the chest binder in her bedroom, she learned that the school guidance counselor had provided it. LAVIGNE: “This situation really is about my parental rights being violated, about a social worker who had never even had a conversation with me, encouraging my child to keep secrets from me, to tell her, ‘Look, I'm not going to tell your mom, and you don't have to either.' So, she's bringing these breast binders home and hiding them in her room on me. That's distressing!” Genesis 1:27 says, “So God created mankind in His own image, in the image of God He created them; male and female He created them.” (Watch Amber Lavigne's 4-minute video.) Arkansas Governor in hot water for celebrating Christmas And finally, secularists and atheists alike were predictably furious with Arkansas Republican Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders this past Christmas, reports LifeSiteNews.com. It's just not that they found her professed love for Jesus Christ problematic. It's that she used her position as governor to spread the truth that Jesus Christ is the Savior of Mankind. On December 16, Sanders issued a declaration recalling that “more than two millennia ago in the little town of Bethlehem, far from the centers of power in first-century Rome, Jesus Christ, the Son of God, was born in a humble manger.” Sanders added that “on that first Christmas, Christ's arrival was unassuming” and “not focused on the wealthy or powerful but rather on the poor, powerless, and meek.” Sanders then approved an extra day off for state employees on December 26 “in order that [they] may spend this holiday with their families giving thanks for Christ's birth.” The God-hating Freedom From Religion Foundation was livid. In a letter to Governor Sanders, attorney Chris Line said, “State offices are not churches, and gubernatorial proclamations are not sermons. The governor is free to practice her religion privately, but she may not use the authority of the state to promote Christian doctrine as official government speech.” Governor Sanders tweeted, “The Freedom from Religion Foundation took issue with me closing state offices to celebrate Christmas and sent a letter demanding I rescind my proclamation. Christmas is not just a holiday; it's the celebration of Jesus Christ's birth. Meaning matters, we won't pretend otherwise.” Matthew 1:20-21 says, “What is conceived in Mary is from the Holy Spirit. She will give birth to a Son, and you are to give Him the name Jesus, because He will save His people from their sins.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Monday, January 5th, in the year of our Lord 2026.

My highest weight was 233 lbs at 5'0”. That was in 2008. At that time, I went through with gastric bypass surgery. I had always been somewhat overweight, but through four pregnancies, I just kept gaining. I also dealt with postpartum depression and unresolved childhood trauma, which probably led to more overeating and a lack of motivation and energy. After the surgery, I lost weight quickly. I found myself in the 120-pound range. I was loving life. I soon began going out to bars and partying, leaving my husband and children behind. I eventually left my husband, split up our family, and continued down that very selfish path. I believe that I was self-medicating and replacing my food addiction with alcohol. I loved the attention I was getting from men. I somehow managed to raise my children for the next 17 years, but that road was really rough, especially for them. I ended up losing my career as a certified nursing assistant, dealt with legal ramifications after a couple of DWIs, and lost custody of two of my children for a time due to the drinking. I fought with my weight off and on during those years, never gaining all of it back, but certainly not taking care of myself consistently. I found myself in rehab and psychiatric hospitals as I tried to get the drinking under control.On May 12, 2025, I woke up. I have not looked back. I stopped drinking that day and have not touched it since. I am not sure to this day what finally shook me to my senses. It took a couple of weeks as I gently worked within myself to decide what was important to me and who I wanted to be. I knew that I wanted to live the most whole life possible and be the personmy children had been missing out on all of these years. I somehow came across the idea of intermittent fasting. I honestly can't remember where. I started listening to Gin Stephens' podcasts, then read her book ‘Fast, Feast, Repeat, and on June 13, I began Alternate Day Fasting. I fast for 36 hours and then eat primarily whole foods during a 12-hour window. I am very forgiving of myself and allow exceptions. I have taken a vacation, gone camping, and celebrated essential events with food, but as soon as the trip or event is over, I jump right back into my schedule. If I want a treat,I plan to have it during my 12-hourwindow. I also feel that a clean fast is crucial. I stick with water - adding sea salt to some every morning, black coffee, plain green or black tea, or plain seltzer water. Unfortunately, my job does require that I taste-test cream cheese some days, but I do what I have to do and then jump right back into my schedule. ADF has changed my life. I don't think I would have continued my sobriety had I not started intermittent fasting. It gives me a sense of control over my day. I have added pilates and yoga daily, and I'm trying to get in 10,000 steps. I have been able to stop taking all of my depression, anxiety and psychosis medications. Turns out when you aren't drinking, and you take care of your body, your mind is much healthier!(This isn't to say that everyone who follows intermittent fasting will be able to step away from the help that behavioural health medications provide - it just turns out that my issues were alcohol related and resolved after stopping drinking and through therapy.) When I began my journey toward a healthier me, I weighed 172 pounds. I have since lost 47 pounds as of October 26 and have reached mygoal weight of 125 pounds. I do have a new goal of 110pounds, but am completely fine with where I'm at.
