Most of us think overdose deaths occur out on dark city streets, but an increasing number happen in America's quiet suburban homes. “Mainly children,” says Sgt. Daniel Webb, “but there is elderly too that are being affected, that are buying pills online that they think are something else.” Drug cartels have pill presses that mimic the look of Xanax, Adderall even Grandma's blood pressure medicine. Deadly doses of fentanyl are even showing up in gummies and vape pens. What can we do to stop the flow? Air1's Monika Kelly reports.

Gen Zrs at Auburn University, UGA and Florida State made just one demand -- to be baptized. "A student messaged one of the pastors and said ‘please can I get baptized tonight, I don't want to wait.'" Prewett led mass baptisms at Auburn University, UGA and Florida State, with plans to visit additional colleges and universities later this year. Monika Kelly reports.

If there's one thing we can agree on regardless of politics or religion: Life is BUSY & if we're not careful to prioritize what really matters, life quickly escapes us and the next thing we know it's the back half of life already.  We all have our own version of what a Busy Fit World consists of, and it's not just about the stress of squeezing in a workout or what healthy meal we can quickly throw together for dinner. Walking through life with a steady faith and spiritual fitness absolutely matters.  I hope you enjoy this episode as much as I enjoyed recording it- Dan and Michelle from Air1 Worship Now Radio! Check them out on Instagam @danandmichelleSupport the showTo support the show: https://www.patreon.com/busyfitworldhttps://www.buzzsprout.com/2049251/supporters/newFor more be sure to check out:https://linktr.ee/wendylafayetteSign up to work with me for one on one nutrition & training by emailing busyfitworld@gmail.com or check out my website https://busyfitworld.netInstagram: @wendylafayette Apparel is @Bodybybrazil use discount code BUSYFITWORLD15 for 15% off www.bodybybrazil.com Editor: Lisa Boehmke Burnett https://www.lisaboehmke.com/Episode videos can be seen on YouTubehttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCwR6oZrQAaP4TH4DHHKijRw
