It's Wednesday, July 12th, A.D. 2023. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard at www.TheWorldview.com. I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Jonathan Clark Finish Christian politician fights bogus “hate crimes” charges again Finland's former Minister of the Interior is facing court proceedings all over again for her Christian beliefs. In 2019, Päivi Räsänen shared her Biblical views on marriage and sexuality. In response, officials charged her with hate crimes. Last year, a court acquitted Räsänen, but now she has to defend herself again after the government appealed the ruling. Writing about her ordeal in The Critic, Räsänen warned on Monday, “It's not just Finland that has reinvigorated the witch-hunts against those who hold different views to the approved state orthodoxy. Across the West, ‘hate speech' laws are cropping up time and again.” Matthew 5:11-12 says, “Blessed are you when they revile and persecute you, and say all kinds of evil against you falsely for My sake. Rejoice and be exceedingly glad, for great is your reward in Heaven.” Sweden gets greenlight to join NATO Speaking of Nordic countries, Sweden got approval from Turkey's President to join the North Atlantic Treaty Organization or NATO on Monday. As a NATO member, Turkey's approval was critical for Sweden to enter the military alliance. Until now, Turkey had opposed Sweden's entrance. Sweden, along with Finland, pursued NATO membership last year after Russia invaded Ukraine. Finland officially joined in April. And, with Turkey's approval, Sweden is set to be the 32nd member nation. Gallup poll: Big business and Congress least trustworthy Gallup released a new poll on Americans' faith in major societal institutions. Only small business and the military garnered public confidence from a majority of U.S. adults. Big business and Congress were the least likely to have public confidence.  Only 32% of respondents said they trust the church or organized religion, down from 37% in 2021. Overall, an average of 26% of Americans have confidence in major U.S. institutions, down from 48% in 1979.  Tennessee's anti-transgender law A Tennessee law that protects children from transgender drugs and surgeries went into effect on Saturday. A U.S. appeals court struck down a preliminary injunction on the law that blocked its enforcement. Jonathan Skrmetti, Tennessee's Attorney General, said, “The case is far from over, but this is a big win. The court of appeals lifted the injunction, meaning the law can be fully enforced, and recognized that Tennessee is likely to win the constitutional argument and the case.” America destroys last chemical weapons The U.S. destroyed its last chemical weapons last Friday at the Blue Grass Army Depot in Richmond, Kentucky.  Since the 1940s, the facility housed rockets filled with a deadly toxin, known as GB nerve agent. At its height, during the Cold War, the stockpile weighed in at 30,000 tons.   Dr. William LaPlante with the Defense Department said, “This is the first time an international body has verified destruction of an entire category of declared weapons of mass destruction.” Psalm 46:9-10 says, “[The Lord] makes wars cease to the end of the Earth; He breaks the bow and cuts the spear in two; He burns the chariot in the fire. Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the Earth!”  Worldview listeners weigh in from Kansas, Montana, & South Africa Worldview listeners continue to email me about why they like the newscast at Adam@TheWorldview.com.  (Remember to include your whole name, city and state, and your country if outside America.) Caleb Hayden in Wichita, Kansas wrote, “Adam, I've been enjoying the daily news review, especially the focus on persecuted Christians abroad. Keep up the great work!” Jodi Icopini in Billings, Montana wrote, “I greatly appreciate The Worldview. In recent months, I gave up mostly all of my mainstream social media. That had been my primary source of news. Being able to listen to The Worldview each day keeps me plugged in enough so I know what's happening in the world, but without the reliance on social media which had become a huge burden for me. This fall, I plan to start each of our homeschool days listening to The Worldview with our two teenagers who remain in our homeschool. We are blessed to have such a great resource. Thank you for all that you do.” And Belinda and Andre DuRand in Cape Town, South Africa wrote, “Dear Adam, We have been listening to your newscast for a few months now. We really like feeling in touch with other Christians out there in the big wide world, and knowing a little of what other Christians are experiencing. Thank you.  In addition, we loved your interviews with Rhonda Stoppe, author of Moms Raising Sons to be Men. We don't have sons, but we were so inspired that we have shared the podcasts with ALL our friends and family who have sons. Wishing you all the best in your work for Christ.” 6 Worldview listeners gave $540 Recently, 6 Worldview listeners gave donations toward our $80,000 goal by Monday, July 31st to keep this unique Christian newscast on the air.  Unfortunately, it's the fewest number of donors since we kicked off our month-long fundraiser on July 4th. We thank God for Hershel in Bellevue, Idaho who gave $15 and Paul in Brush, Colorado who gave $25. And we're grateful for the generosity of Joseph in Burnet, Texas, Richard in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and Marty in Winchester, Oregon – each of whom gave $100 as well as Ted in Rockaway, New Jersey who gave $200. Those 6 donations add up to $540. Ready for our new grand total? Drum roll please. (Drum roll sound effect) $12,778.88. (Crowd cheering sound effect) In order to hit our $40,000 immediate goal by this Friday, July 14, we still need to raise $27,221.12.  I wonder if at least 10 new folks will step up to the plate today? I'm looking for 10 Worldview listeners to pledge $100/month for 12 months. Then, we would need 13 to pledge $50/month for 12 months.  And another 26 listeners to pledge $25/month for 12 months.  Just go to TheWorldview.com and click on “Give” at the top right to give what the Lord is prompting you to donate to keep this weekday newscast on the air.  Make sure to select the “Recurring” tab if that's your wish.

Description: Our guest today is actor, former NFL player, artist, activist, advocate, designer, and Ping Identity's “Chief Identity Champion”, Terry Crews. We talk about how his identity is a complexity of all these things (and more), how to stay authentic to yourself, getting into character, having fun, and more. Most importantly, Terry is NOT taking my job! Key Takeaways: [2:30] Why did Terry take on the role of Chief Identity Champion with Ping? [9:24] How does Terry stay authentic to himself when he's being pulled in many directions? [16:42] Identities are complex; they don't need to be binary or partisan. [23:01] How identity is wrapped up in what artists are “allowed” to do. [24:59] How does Terry get into the mindset of playing a different character? [27:08] Our faults, mistakes, and thus self-reflection are what make us human. Quotes: ●“The best thing I learned is that everything has a story.” –Terry ●“I have chosen that the stories that I really want to represent also have to represent me.” –Terry ●“You really have to be comfortable going against the grain.” –Terry ●“Give people the same opportunities and empowerment to have some say and control over their digital personas as we do in the analog.” –Richard ●“This is what the great thing about identity is;you choose who you're going to be.” –Terry ●“We are much more complex than any person that can put us in these little boxes.” –Terry ●“If we're not always talking about empowerment, then we're talking about disenfranchisement. Or we are settling for some form of mediocrity that creates situations where not everybody can participate.” –Richard ●“When you're talking about identity, the only thing you're talking about is being human.” –Terry Mentioned in This Episode:Terry Crews, Ping Identity, Andre Durand

In the second episode of Hello User, Richard is joined by identity security expert Andre Durand.  Andre is the founder and CEO of Ping Identity as well as founder of the Cloud Identity Summit.  They discuss the current state of digital identity security and how the pandemic may accelerate the changes needed to shape the future of digital identity security. Key Takeaways: [1:26] During the pandemic we digitized so many aspects of our economy without focusing on one of the most important parts; identity. [3:07] There is a complexity to who we are online; and it's not solely based on our own projections and declarations. [6:20] How your digital employment identity differs from your consumer identity.  [9:21] Currently third parties have much more control over digital identity than the individuals. [10:45] With so many players rushing to enter the digital identity space, how we can sift through the noise. [13:41] How shifting control of digital identity to the individual will dramatically change our current identity and access management systems. [16:48] One of the biggest objections to changing how identity security is user behavior, but people's behavior during the pandemic has shattered those notions. [18:17] The mobile phone is one of the most powerful digital identity devices. [20:00] Identity for individuals might progress in the future to create a better, more secure experience with companies. [20:44] Outside of the user experience, companies are most concerned with the cost of fraud. [22:24] Why identity verification is paramount. Quotes: “As we've experienced during the pandemic, tremendous amounts of our economy have been able to move into digital pathways. The one thing that we forgot to move was people.” “Water always finds the path of least resistance and humans tend to find the path of least resistance, as well.” “You own your identity, but others own the verified record of your behavior.” “In some abstract way, we are the aggregate of all of our interactions with third-parties.” “If you wanted to know the totality of our behavior, it probably exists somewhere in the digital exhaust of the identity management systems of all the companies we interact with.” “The weakest link within national cybersecurity infrastructure right now is the ability to confirm that someone is who they say they are.” “We've come up with terms for identity that are absent the individual.” “Fraud costs money.” “The house of cards of strong identity cannot be built upon weak identity verification.” Mentioned in This Episode: Andre Durand Ping Identity

 “I don’t have to know all the details of how we’re gonna survive to know that it is directionally correct, and I’ll boldly step beyond the point of no return and let the details sort themselves.” Andre Durand, CEO, Ping Identity I was looking forward to my interview with Andre Durand because I knew we’d be talking more about leadership and decision making than the technology behind Ping Identity... but let’s not overlook that Ping Identity technology is used by HALF of the Fortune 100, including ALL the top banks.  Andre has led Ping Identity from startup to its acquisition for over $600 million, and still leads the company today.  We also discussed Colorado’s unique position and niche as a hub for technology.  Listen in!

Imagine if you could have the world's best executive coaches and leadership mentors whispering into your ear every morning on your way to work. Every weekday, there will be a new episode of The LEADx Leadership Show with an interview from a different thought leadership or business expert. Many of these guests are thought leaders, famous authors or high-profile CEOs from innovative startup companies. Others are creatives, artists, entrepreneurs or corporate career leaders. They have all achieved extreme success and they are willing to share practical advice on how to advance your career and develop your leadership and management skills by offering daily career tips on time management, productivity, marketing, personal branding, communication, sales, leadership, team building, talent management and other personal development and career development topics. There will be a new episode waiting for you every day just in time for your morning commute, morning treadmill session or whatever else it is you do to start your day. LEADx isn't just the name of this new podcast, it's the name of a digital media and online learning company that is re-imagining professional development for millennials and career driven professionals looking to break into manager roles or excel in current leadership and management roles. If you're looking for management training or professional development that is delivered in a fun and engaging way, sign up for our daily newsletter at LEADx.org. It's packed with life hacks, daily career tips and leadership challenges that will turn you into a high potential leader in no time. What does LEADx stand for? We are exploring leadership. We are about NEXT GENERATION leadership. We believe that professional training and workplace education has not kept up with advances in digital media. Today's emerging leaders and management professionals just don't find 5 day workshops or eLearning modules to be very compelling. Today's talent is mobile and social. LEADx wants to help those that want to make an impact. Leadership is not a choice. You don't need a title to lead. You're a leader whether you want to be or not. Leadership is about influence.
