Segment 1: • “No Kings Day” raises deeper questions—do we actually want a King? • In a world of political chaos and rising persecution, Christians must remember: Jesus reigns. • America may reject kingship, but your soul was made to serve one. Segment 2: • Brandon Lake says it's time to ditch hymns—revealing our shallow view of worship. • Small churches are stronger in faithfulness; megachurches invite spectators, not soldiers. • The therapy trend among pastors points to a deeper crisis of biblical confidence. Segment 3: • Brandon Lake performs emotional worship on American Idol—but where's the theology? • Worship isn't therapy—it's truth that transforms. • Weak worship might be what's weakening the church. Segment 4: • Luther Seminary in MN is shutting down—another sign of theological decay. • A filed-away statement of faith is not the same as actually teaching truth. • Even when institutions collapse, Christ remains faithful. ___ Thanks for listening!

Iam Tongi is the Hawaiian kid who broke everyone on American Idol Season 23. He showed up heartbroken—his dad had just passed 3 months before. Music was always their thing. He almost quit completely. But his mom secretly signed him up for Idol anyway. Then he sang “Monsters”… and the world felt it. That was the moment. He won Season 23, but losing his dad forced him to find his own voice, live, on television. When his guitar broke during Hollywood Week, he knew—this was his dad telling him he could do it on his own. Now? He just dropped “Unbreak My Heart,” plus “Sunshine” that he wrote for his mom, performed at the Opry, CMA Fest, even has a track in Lilo & Stitch, plus an album in the works… All while losing 110 pounds, still grieving, still growing—and singing from a place only he can. Iam Tongi is a true inspiration, lifting hearts around the world with his voice and story.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this rebroadcast from season 9, Carrie Fox sits down with Dana Snyder, a digital strategist for nonprofits and the CEO and founder of Positive Equation. Snyder, who has supported organizations like Movember, Dress for Success, and American Idol, shares her insights on how nonprofits can effectively reach new audiences in the ever-evolving digital landscape.Consider, for example, the importance of strategic investment in social media. How are organizations to determine which channels to focus their resources on based on their values and target audience? Snyder emphasizes the significance of data-driven decision-making, recommending tools like Google Analytics and Microsoft Clarity to understand how visitors interact with an organization's website and social media channels. But more importantly, she highlights how most individuals are tilted toward good, and that your audience might just be comfortable in large numbers on platforms you personally find misaligned with your own values. Throughout the episode, Snyder stresses the importance of being genuinely social on social media platforms, creating platform-specific content, and fostering meaningful connections with followers. She suggests that organizations consider hiring virtual assistants to manage their social media presence if it aligns with their budgets and priorities.The conversation also touches on the role of artificial intelligence in content creation for nonprofits. Snyder offers practical advice on how to train AI tools to generate relevant and engaging content while staying true to an organization's mission and values.For nonprofits looking to make the most of their social media efforts, this episode of Mission Forward offers valuable insights and actionable tips from a seasoned digital strategist.

fWotD Episode 2960: Mariah Carey Welcome to Featured Wiki of the Day, your daily dose of knowledge from Wikipedia's finest articles.The featured article for Thursday, 12 June 2025, is Mariah Carey.Mariah Carey ( mə-RY-ə;: 0:01  born March 27, 1969) is an American singer-songwriter, record producer, and actress. Dubbed the "Songbird Supreme" by Guinness World Records, Carey is known for her five-octave vocal range, melismatic singing style, signature use of the whistle register, and diva persona. An influential figure in music, she was ranked as the fifth greatest singer of all time by Rolling Stone in 2023.Carey rose to fame in 1990 with her self-titled debut album and became the only artist to have their first five singles reach number one on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart, from "Vision of Love" to "Emotions". She achieved international success with the best-selling albums Music Box (1993) and Daydream (1995), before adopting a new image with hip hop-inflected sounds, following a remix to "Fantasy" with Ol' Dirty Bastard, and more extensively on Butterfly (1997). With eleven consecutive years of US number-one singles, Billboard named Carey the Artist of the Decade. Following the failure of her film Glitter (2001) and a relative career decline, she made a comeback with one of the best-selling albums of the 21st century, The Emancipation of Mimi (2005).Carey's life and career have received widespread media coverage. She has been dubbed the "Queen of Christmas" due to the enduring popularity of her holiday music, particularly Merry Christmas (1994), one of the best-selling holiday albums, and its single "All I Want for Christmas Is You", which is one of the best selling singles of all time. Outside of music, she co-founded Camp Mariah with the Fresh Air Fund in 1994; starred in films such as Precious (2009), The Butler (2013), and The Lego Batman Movie (2017); and served as a judge on American Idol (2013). Her 2020 memoir, The Meaning of Mariah Carey, reached number one on The New York Times Best Seller list.Carey is one of the best-selling music artists, with over 220 million records sold worldwide. She was inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame. Her accolades include 5 Grammy Awards, a Grammy Global Impact Award, 10 American Music Awards, 19 World Music Awards and 14 Billboard Music Awards. She holds the record for the most Billboard Hot 100 number-one singles by a solo artist (19), a female songwriter (18), and a female producer (15), spending a record 97 weeks atop the chart. "One Sweet Day" and "We Belong Together" were ranked by Billboard as the most successful songs of the 1990s and 2000s, respectively. Carey is the highest-certified female artist in the US, with 75 million certified album-equivalent units, and the best-selling Western artist in Japan.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 00:10 UTC on Thursday, 12 June 2025.For the full current version of the article, see Mariah Carey on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm neural Olivia.

In this episode of Hollywood Stories: Tales From Television, Richard Rushfield takes us back to the heyday of the original “American Idol” in the aughts and early 2010s, when the Fox juggernaut dominated conversation everywhere from “Howard Stern” to the “Today” show and produced megastars like Kelly Clarkson and Carrie Underwood. But there was one powerful figure behind the scenes whose quiet devotion touched future superstars from Katherine McPhee to Jordin Sparks: Pastor Leesa Bellesi. Through her American Idol Ministry, Bellesi not only prayed for the success of these contestants, but she also helped them and their families navigate the harsh spotlight of sudden fame that glared upon even the ones who didn't make it far. Richard chronicled Bellisi's incredible journey in his 2011 book, “American Idol: The Untold Story,” and now, more than two decades later, they revisit it together as she recalls her spiritual connection with the show and its stars — from the Bible passage that bonded her with McPhee to a fateful prayer circle with judge Paula Abdul. "It was such a God thing," she tells Richard. "The prayers that I prayed in that room are living themselves out still to this day." Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Bronx, hits, Sean Combs och filmfloppar är några av ingredienserna i berättelsen om den obotliga romantikern som vägrade att nöja sig med en karriär. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radio Play. Vem vet om Jennifer Lopez ser vad som sägs om henne på internet. Men för den som hänger på sociala medier är det nästintill omöjligt att missa backlashen som väller fram likt en tsunami, den här hösten 2024.Det började med den utskrattade dokumentären hon släppte i februari, sen fortsatte det med de envisa skilsmässoryktena som dök upp under våren. När hon till slut meddelade att hon måste ställa in sin kommande turné av personliga skäl brast dammluckorna. I kommentarsfälten gnuggade man händerna när det under sommaren visade sig att skvallret stämde. Precis som när de var ihop för tjugo år sen har Jennifer Lopez och Ben Afflecks hypade och högst publika relation kraschat. När hösten kommer är hon fortfarande förkrossad, och som om det inte var nog verkar det som att hela internet vänt sig mot henne. På bara några månader har J.Lo gått från att vara en hyllad artist, skådis och entreprenör till att bli ett meme.Medverkande: Michelle Hallström och Christina Jeurling BirroProgrammet är gjort av Joanna Korbutiak våren 2025Producent Alexandra SannemalmExekutiv producent Lars TruedsonSlutmix Johan HörnqvistProgramledare Siri HillP3 Musikdokumentär produceras av Tredje Statsmakten MediaLjudklippen i programmet kommer från Jennifer Lopez egna dokumentärer Halftime (Netflix, 2022) och The Greatest Love Story never Told (2024).

Send us a textThe most powerful encouragers often struggle to encourage themselves. This paradox forms the heart of our conversation as we explore how small, intentional acts of affirmation can transform someone's entire outlook.When's the last time you sent that morning text to your spouse? Acknowledged someone's hard work with specific praise? Or simply told someone "I'm proud of you"? These seemingly minor gestures can become lifelines for the people around us. We share personal stories about how unexpected encouragement lifted us during moments of self-doubt – like the worship leader questioning their performance who receives a timely, specific compliment, or the weight-loss journeyer who needs that regular accountability and celebration of progress.What makes encouragement truly effective isn't grand gestures but genuine attention to what matters to someone. Setting reminders for your friend's important day, noticing specific efforts rather than general outcomes, and being present when someone needs affirmation. We dive into the fascinating dynamic between outward confidence and inner self-consciousness – how many of us "portray confidence while feeling self-conscious" in our work, ministry, and relationships.The conversation takes unexpected turns through American Idol critiques, martial arts training adventures, and summer movie recommendations (including an F1 racing film starring Brad Pitt that surprisingly has us all interested). But the message remains clear throughout: your encouragement matters more than you know, and someone in your life desperately needs to hear from you today. What small step could you take right now to lift someone else's spirits?

He also shared stories of rockers, including David Coverdale of Whitesnake, Ronnie James Dio, Reb Beach, and the first time he met Randy Rhoads. I could talk to Doug all day! Finally, singer Nate Peck joins me. This is the first time I've ever had the chance to speak with Nate. The Michigan-born singer talks about being on American Idol, through getting the job with Firehouse. The first gig they played, he didn't even get to rehearse!
