2025-04-20 | Dharma Talk | Genjokoan | Joel Barna by Appamada

It's Thursday, April 17th, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 125 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com. I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Jonathan Clark South African police rescue kidnapped missionary Praise God! Police in South Africa rescued a U.S. missionary from his kidnappers on Monday. Pastor Josh Sullivan, age 34, was preaching at Fellowship Baptist Church in South Africa's Eastern Cape province last Thursday. That's when four masked gunmen broke into the church, dragged him out of the pulpit, and took him hostage in front of his wife and children. They demanded a ransom. Providentially, police were able to locate him and engaged in a shootout with the kidnappers, killing three of them. Sullivan was found inside the same car that the kidnappers were in, but he was "miraculously unharmed.” Before Sullivan had been rescued WBIR, Channel 10 in Knoxville, Tennessee interviewed Sullivan's father-in-law, David Witt. He knew that Sullivan would rely on Christ in the midst of his captivity. WITT: “There's no way I can imagine going through this without Jesus, Christ.” Remarkably, he was convinced that his son-in-law would share the Good News with his kidnappers. WITT: “Giving them the Gospel. The greatest thing that could ever happen is for one of those kidnappers to get saved.” The missionary's father-in-law explained that all Christians should emulate the heart of Christ on the cross. WITT: “He said, ‘Forgive them, for they know not what they do.' And we have to forgive the people that kidnapped our son-in-law because they don't know either.” Please keep Pastor Josh Sullivan, his family, and church in your prayers. Psalm 146:7 says it is God “who executes justice for the oppressed, who gives food to the hungry. The LORD sets the prisoners free.” U.K. Supreme Court affirms two biological sexes Yesterday, the Supreme Court of the United Kingdom ruled that a person's sex is based on biology.  The case began in 2018 when the Scottish government allowed the definition of “woman” to include men pretending to be women. Women's rights groups challenged the decision, going all the way to the U.K. Supreme Court. The high court's ruling keeps men, pretending to be women, out of spaces intended for women. This includes women-only changing rooms, homeless shelters, swimming areas, and medical or counseling services.   Australian judge protects boy from being “transitioned” In Australia, a family court judge has ruled to protect a child from transgender drugs. Judge Andrew Strum recently awarded custody of a 12-year-old boy to his father. The father opposed attempts by the mother to put the boy on puberty blockers. She had been grooming him to pretend to be a girl since age 6. The judge noted, “I do not accept that the child, at this age . . . can properly understand the implications and potential risks of puberty blockers.” The ruling is the first of its kind against transgenderism in the country.  Appearing on Sky News, Chris Merritt, the Legal Affairs Contributor for The Australian, was grateful that the judge protected this 12-year-old boy from puberty blockers. MERRITT: “Had the father believed the misdiagnosis his former wife had received that their son had suffered from gender dysphoria, there would be no role for the federal circuit and Family Court. There's a precedent that makes it clear that if both parents agree about a course of gender blocking treatment, it will go ahead without any further involvement of the court. But in this particular case, because the father objected, it found its way into court.” The legal analyst was especially appalled by the dramatic lack of evidence presented by the medical experts which would warrant attempting to feminize this boy through puberty blockers and estrogen supplements. MERRITT: “When the medical experts were subjected to a bit of cross examination and their evidence was tested quite rigorously, over a long period, huge flaws emerged. Some obvious causes of the boy's gender confusion were not pursued. If we've got a misdiagnosis in this case, based on what the judge said was evidence infected with ideology rather than facts, there could be other cases like this.” Arkansas protects kids from being placed with homosexual couples Arkansas Republican Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders signed the Keep Kids First Act into law last Thursday. The law protects Christian adoption agencies from having to place children in homes that go against their religious beliefs. In essence, they can bypass homes featuring homosexual couples. The measures also protect such agencies from being targeted by the government for their beliefs.  Greg Chafuen with Alliance Defending Freedom celebrated the new law. He said, “Arkansas has taken the critical step to pass . . . the Keep Kids First Act, which prioritizes the well-being of kids by prohibiting state and local government officials from discriminating against adoption and foster care providers and parents simply because of their religious beliefs and moral convictions.” 71st Sanctuary City for the Unborn Last Tuesday, Mullin, Texas became the 71st city in the nation to declare itself a Sanctuary City for the Unborn. The Mullin City Council passed the ordinance unanimously. The measure prohibits elective abortions in the city limits as well as mailing abortion drugs into the city.  Pastor Randy Bradley of Mullin First Baptist Church commented, “I was moved by the willingness of our city council to take such a bold stand for the lives of the unborn. I am overjoyed at being part of a community which passed this ordinance unanimously.” 27% of American adults say God does not exist And finally, Dr. George Barna released his latest study on the worldview of Americans. The study found that 27 percent of U.S. adults claim the God of the Bible does not exist. However, over a third of those who dismiss God's existence said they would be completely open to being persuaded otherwise by someone they know and trust. Dr. Barna noted, “Having an established relationship in place with people facing a crisis goes a long way toward helping them to know God and place their trust in Him.” 1 Peter 3:15 says, “In your hearts, honor Christ the Lord as holy, always being prepared to make a defense to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you; yet do it with gentleness and respect.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Thursday, April 17th, in the year of our Lord 2025. Subscribe by Amazon Music or by iTunes or email to our unique Christian newscast at www.TheWorldview.com.

A leginkább beszorított helyzetben, valódi vezetők és fegyverek nélkül is létezett, cselekedett egy másik Magyarország – mondják az Ellenállók 1944–45 című minap megjelent nagy történelmi tabló szerkesztői. A kötet a Magyarországon 80 évvel ezelőtt véget ért II. világháború egykor eltagadott, később leginkább elfelejtett szereplői, a német- és nyilasellenes ellenállók közül 104-et mutat be rövid portrék formájában. Hogyan fér meg egymás mellett kommunista és fajvédő, szocialista és királypárti konzervatív? Miért volt sikertelen az ellenállás?

I often find that when I'm with a group of parents teaching them about today's youth culture, many wonder if their kids have any interest at all in talking about the Christian Faith, the Bible, and Jesus Christ. There's a commonly held belief that with all the attractive things the world has to offer, kids just don't want to have anything to do with conversations about God. But because we know that all of these other distractions offered by the world can never fulfill one's created purpose to know God, our kids are left feeling empty. I often say that a youth culture landscape littered with brokenness is a landscape ripe for the Gospel. New research from the Barna group should be encouraging to parents who want to see their kids come to know and serve Jesus Christ. In fact, seventy-seven percent of teens are to open to having conversations about God. Should we be surprised? A child's spiritual hunger will continue to grow if they are not filled by experiencing new life in Jesus Christ!

Federal Government freezing funds for Harvard...latest abortion numbers in the U-S...and newest Barna report on Christianity in the U-S.

What do you do when trust is shattered, but no one around you seems to take your pain seriously? In today's deeply honest and hope-filled episode, Leslie sits down with Nick Stumbo, former pastor and Executive Director of Pure Desire Ministries, who opens up about his personal battle with pornography—and the profound impact it had on his wife, his marriage, and his ministry. Nick's story isn't just one of addiction—it's about healing, honesty, and hope when everything seems lost. Together, Leslie and Nick dismantle toxic messaging that pressures wives to “just forgive” or “have more sex,” and instead offer a biblical and brain-based path toward real recovery—one that honors both the betrayed and the struggler. If you or someone you love is silently suffering in a marriage affected by pornography, this episode will remind you: You're not alone, and your healing matters.  

How are American Christians thinking about engaging non-Christians in the United States? According to recent Barna research there are 60 to 80 million Americans who don't fit the paradigm that a lot of Christians have about those outside of the church. They are not really hostile to discussions about faith and spirituality and are actually spiritually curious at the right moments.

Roane discusses the pervasive issue of pornography addiction with Ted Shimer, founder of the Freedom Fight. Ted highlights the significant impact of high-speed internet and smartphones on adolescent brains, leading to deeper and broader addictions. A Barna study reveals that 78% of practicing Christians aged 18-70 watch porn, with 90% of younger Christians affected. Ted emphasizes the need for discipleship and equipping rather than just recovery, using biblical principles and brain science to address the roots of addiction. They discuss the importance of emotional awareness, identity in Christ, and community support for lasting freedom.To learn more about the Sex, God, & Chaos team, click the link below: www.sexgodchaos.com Looking for help?

Av og til har foreldre tunge perioder. En fæl sjef eller trøbbel i parforholdet kan gjøre mye med humøret vårt, også på hjemmebane. Barn er som svamper, sier Hedvig.

Does worldview matter? Do basic foundational doctrines really matter in the lives of Christians? A new study from Barna shows that only 11 percent of American adults believe in the doctrine of the Trinity, while 16 percent of self-proclaimed Christians hold to it. The number of Gen Z's who believe in the Trinity comes in at only 8 percent. The doctrine of the Trinity has been largely neglected in churches today in favor of more "relevant" topics, the 20-minute homily, and the 40-minute music program. But not being grounded in the most basic doctrines makes one susceptible to false teachers. So how do we overcome this as we raise the next generation? First, check the foundations and worldview of everything you and your children participate in. Give your children a proper worldview as you teach them, and then instruct them on how to cast down every imagination and every high thing that exalts itself above Christ.This program includes:1.

It's Thursday, March 27th, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 125 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Jonathan Clark Afghanistan, India, Nigeria, and Vietnam deny religious liberty The United States Commission on International Religious Freedom released its annual report on Tuesday.  The report advises the U.S. State Department to designate certain countries as Countries of Particular Concern for severe religious freedom violations. The commission recommended countries like Burma, China, North Korea, and Russia to remain on the list. It further recommended adding Afghanistan, India, Nigeria, and Vietnam. Nearly all the countries on the recommendation list are also on Open Doors' World Watch List of nations where it is most difficult to be a Christian. McKenna Wendt with International Christian Concern said, “[We are] particularly grateful for [the report's] focus on the persecution of our Christian brothers and sisters around the world.” Hebrews 13:3 says, “Remember the prisoners as if chained with them—those who are mistreated—since you yourselves are in the body also.” Christianity & Buddhism saw most losses from religious switching Pew Research released a new report on “religious switching” around the world. In many countries, about one out of five adults have left the religious group they grew up in. Christianity and Buddhism saw the most losses from this religious switching, while those with no religious affiliation increased. Religious switching was common across East Asia, Western Europe, North America, and South America. However, countries with large Christian populations, but with little religious switching, include Nigeria, Kenya, Ghana, the Philippines, Poland, and Hungary. 10,000 Dutch were killed by euthanasia Sadly, nearly 10,000 people were killed in the Netherlands last year through euthanasia.  That's up 10% from 2023. Deaths involving psychological suffering were up 60%.  Bruno Waterfield, reporting for The Times, said, “There is concern that growing numbers of suicidal people, especially young people, are asking for help to die.” Proverbs 12:10 says “The tender mercies of the wicked are cruel.” Trump's signs Executive Order on Election Integrity In the United States, President Donald Trump signed an Executive Order Tuesday entitled “Persevering and Protecting the Integrity of American Elections.” The order directs states to require proof of citizenship when people register to vote in federal elections.  The order also stated, “Above all, elections must be honest and worthy of the public trust.  That requires voting methods that produce a voter-verifiable paper record allowing voters to efficiently check their votes to protect against fraud or mistake.” Births increased in states with abortion bans The National Bureau of Economic Research released a report on how abortion bans have affected birth rates. About a dozen states passed near-total abortion bans since the overturning of Roe v. Wade in 2022. This increased the distance to the nearest abortion mill from 50 miles to 300 miles for the average woman in those states.  Notably, births also increased by 2.8% in those states compared to what they were expected to be without the abortion ban.  Only 16% of Christians believe in Trinity Dr. George Barna released his latest research on American Christianity.  About two thirds of U.S. adults identify as Christians according to the report. However, only 16% of self-identified Christians believe in the existence and influence of each person of the Trinity. That number falls to 11% among the general population. People who read the Bible daily and attend church weekly were more likely to believe in God the Father, Jesus the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Dr. Barna noted, “These findings about America's ignorance or rejection of the Trinity are simply another in a long list of examples of people living without the truths and life principles of God shaping their lives.” In Matthew 28:19-20, Jesus said, “Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Partial solar eclipse this Saturday morning And finally, a partial solar eclipse is coming to parts of North America this week. The moon will pass between the sun and the Earth on Saturday morning for viewers in parts of the northeastern U.S. The sun and moon won't be perfectly aligned, so only part of the sun will be obscured.  The spectacle will also be visible in eastern Canada, western Africa, and Europe.  Close And that's The Worldview on this Thursday, March 27th, in the year of our Lord 2025. Subscribe by Amazon Music or by iTunes or email to our unique Christian newscast at www.TheWorldview.com.

Fiskverð skiptir sjómenn öllu, segir Valmundur Valmundsson, formaður Sjómannasambandsins. Ef verð á uppsjávarfiski hefur verið vanmetið árum saman eiga sjómenn inni hjá útgerðinni og hljóta að sækja það aftur í tímann - þó ekki sé enn ljóst hvernig. Anna Kristín Jónsdóttir ræðir við Valmund. Mótmæli brutust út í Istanbúl og fleiri borgum Tyrklands í liðinni viku, þegar út spurðist að borgarstjórinn Ekrem Imamoglu hefði verið handtekinn og úrskurðaður í gæsluvarðhald, sakaður um spillingu og hryðjuverkastarfsemi. Áður hafði Istanbúl-háskóli ógilt háskólagráðu hans, en háskólapróf er forsenda þess að menn geti farið í forsetaframboð í Tyrklandi - en Imamoglu þykir manna líklegsastur til að geta fellt Recep Tayyip Erdogan í forsetakosningum eftir þrjú ár.

It's Tuesday, March 25th, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 125 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Kevin Swanson 3 Iranian Christians get 42 years of prison time Three Iranian Christians have been sentenced to a cumulative 42 years in prison for their involvement in Christian activities. The Tehran Revolutionary Court sentenced a pregnant woman named Narges Nasri to 16 years. And two men were also given harsh sentences.  Abbas Soori got 15 years and Mehran Shamlooei received 10 years for organizing a house church in Tehran.  According to Open Doors, Iran is the 9th most difficult country worldwide for Christians. 3 men arrested by KGB in Tajikistan Also, The Worldview received news that three men were arrested by the KGB in Tajikistan last week, for simply possessing Bibles and meeting to worship on Sunday.   From last report they are still in prison. Remember our brothers and sisters in chains in your prayers.  Maine Univ. listens to Trump, bans biological men from women's sports The University of Maine has agreed to comply with the Trump administration's requirement that no men should be allowed to participate in women's collegiate sports. The U.S. Department of Agriculture had temporarily frozen $30 million of funding to the University of Maine's system comprised of eight universities. The USDA issued a press release announcing the change of policy on the part of the University of Maine, noting that “UMaine's decision to side with sanity is a win for women and girls in Maine.” However, the president is demanding a full-throated apology from Maine's Democratic Governor Janet Mills, reports The Western Journal.   At a February meeting with governors at the White House, Mills threatened to sue the Trump administration over the women's only federal policy, according to a video posted on X. 80 U.S. hospitals continue to mutilate kids in transgender surgeries Despite the U.S. president's recent policy statements to the contrary, almost 80 hospitals are still offering mutilation surgeries for children, reports the TransHealth Project.   On January 28th, President Donald Trump signed an executive order stating that “it is the policy of the United States that it will not fund, sponsor, promote, assist, or support the so-called ‘transition' of a child from one sex to another, and it will rigorously enforce all laws that prohibit or limit these destructive and life-altering procedures.” Judge: Ban on drag performances is unconstitutional A federal judge ruled Monday that a Texas A&M University ban on drag performances is unconstitutional. Judge Lee Rosenthal, a female appointee by George H. W. Bush, argued that drag performances are an expression of freedom of speech, and should be allowed on public universities.  She further stated that “Shakespeare's literary works that, when his plays were written and performed, female characters were played by young men dressed in women's attire.” The judge also referenced to major motion pictures like Mrs. Doubtfire and Hairspray, in which cross-dressing was essential to the plot of the movie. Deuteronomy 22:5 brings out the moral principle that “A woman shall not wear anything that pertains to a man, nor shall a man put on a woman's garment, for all who do so are an abomination to the Lord your God.” More men attending church than women That surprising gender gap of American church attendees has widened even more, according to the latest Barna poll. Now, preliminary numbers indicate that 40% of men attend church weekly, compared to only 28% of women. From 2000 to 2015, women attended church at higher rates than men. Then, from 2016 to 2021, men and women attended at about the same rate. Eating meals alone is mentally unhealthy And finally, Americans are increasingly eating meals alone.  Interestingly, 26% of Americans ate all their meals alone yesterday.  That's up from 17% two decades ago. The percentage of young people -- 20-35 years of age -- eating alone has almost doubled in twenty years. However, the Asian countries of Korea, Japan, India, and the Philippines, are the nations least likely to share meals. The World Happiness Report claims that “Sharing meals proves to be an exceptionally strong indicator of subjective wellbeing – on par with income and unemployment. Those who share more meals with others report significantly higher levels of life satisfaction.”  Proverbs 18:1 warns of this: “Whoever isolates himself seeks his own desire; he breaks out against all sound judgment.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Tuesday, March 25th, in the year of our Lord 2025. Subscribe by Amazon Music or by iTunes or email to our unique Christian newscast at www.TheWorldview.com.

Márkó és Barna szerint rengeteg „jó hír” érkezett az ország állapotáról és az is jó, hogy ezekről mind elvonja a figyelmünket a gyűlöletkeltés. De volt még szó hörcsögök furcsa elhalálozásáról, emberekről, akiknek mindig el van törve a telefonjuk és arról is, hogy mi idegesítő a pürékben.  

Who gets to call themselves a missionary and why does it matter? In today's episode of The Missions Podcast, Alex and Scott sit down with Matthew Ellison and Denny Spitters to revisit the question of "who is a missionary?". There is still great confusion in the church about what the Great Commission is and the need to go to the unreached. Does missions require crossing cultures? What is the biblical definition of missions? What's the big deal if we say that everything is missions? Matthew Ellison is President of 1615, an organization that helps churches clarify their global mission, develop mission strategies, and take steps toward that strategy. Denny Spitters is a Coach with 1615. Together, they are releasing the second edition of their book, "When Everything is Missions". They also host their own podcast, When Everything is Missions. In this week's Overtime episode, the group discusses the results from a recently commissioned Barna study on what are pastors are currently saying about missions.

Barna, co-founder of Malda and mendi.finance, joins the podcast to break down Ethereum's biggest DeFi problem: liquidity fragmentation. He explains how their protocol is using ZK co-processors and a host-extension chain model to unify lending and borrowing across rollups like Linea, Base, and more.

„Minden politikustól elvárható, hogy óvakodjon ellenfelei és a másként gondolkodók dehumanizálásától. Amennyiben azonban a közéleti szereplő önmagát kereszténynek vallja, akkor őt ettől nemcsak a jó ízlés és a riasztó történelmi példák kell, hogy visszatartsák, hanem a Szentírás is” – írta a Szemléleken a március 15-i miniszterelnöki beszédről Fabiny Tamás. Az evangélikus püspököt ennek apropóján írása keletkezéséről és fogadtatásáról, a gyülekezési jog korlátozásáról és az Ukrajna elleni hergelésről is kérdezi HetiVálasz podcastunk 269. adásában Borbás Barna és Vörös Szabolcs.

Spegillinn fjallaði í gær ítarlega um meðferðarheimili fyrir börn sem til stóð að reisa í Garðabæ. Þar kom meðal annars fram að Barna- og fjölskyldustofa hefði gefist upp á biðinni og viljað að húsið yrði reist í Mosfellsbæ. Regína Ásvaldsdóttir, bæjarstjóri í Mosfellsbæ, sem hefur mikla reynslu af þessum málum, segir umfjöllunina í gær hafa eiginlega staðfest tilfinningu sem hún hafi haft lengi. Freyr Gígja Gunnarsson ræðir við hana. „Stríðið 'um frið fyrir Netanyahu' er byrjað,“ sagði Tamir Pardo, fyrrverandi yfirmaður ísraelsku leyniþjónustunnar Mossad á fjölmennum mótmælafundi í Tel Aviv í gær. Með þessu vísar Pardo í útbreidda skoðun pólitískra andstæðinga forsætisráðherrans Benjamíns Netanyahus, sem saka hann um að skeyta í engu um líf þeirra gísla sem enn eru í haldi Hamas, heldur hugsa bara um eigin pólitísku framtíð með því að rjúfa vopnahléið og hefja aftur mannskæðar loftárásir á Gaza. Pardo er ekki einn um þessa skoðun, eins og Ævar Örn Jósepsson fjallar um. Í upphafi árs var gefinn út grásleppukvóti í fyrsta sinn. Lögin sem samþykkt voru í fyrra áttu að auka hagræði í greininni og tryggja öryggi sjómanna, en líka að koma í veg fyrir samþjöppun aflaheimilda á fárra hendur. Sjávarútvegurinn hefur enn ýmsar spurningar um framkvæmdina og hver hagnast á nýja kvótanum. Gréta Sigríður Einarsdóttir kannaði málið. Umsjón: Ævar Örn Jósepsson Tæknimaður: Mark Eldred

Í hverri viku bætast að meðaltali um 50-60 nýir bílar í umferðina á höfuðborgarsvæðinu og við ákváðum að forvitnast um Borgarlínuna í þættinum í dag. Framkvæmd Borgarlínunnar er skipt í 6 lotur og fyrsta lota nær frá Hamraborg í Kópavogi að Krossmýrartorgi í Reykjavík og áætlað er að hún verði fullbúin árið 2031. Atli Björn Levy tók við starfi forstöðumanns Verkefnastofu Borgarlínunnar fyrir nokkrum mánuðum. Hann er samgönguverkfræðingur og leiðir Borgarlínuverkefnið og hann kom í þáttinn í dag og fór með okkur yfir stöðuna. Nú stendur yfir Tannverndarvikan og til okkar í dag kom Jóhanna Bryndís Bjarnadóttir tannlæknir og fyrrverandi formaður Tannlæknafélagsins. Lögð er áhersla á rétta tannhirðu, tengsl munnheilsu og andlegrar vellíðunar, forvarnir gegn verkjum og sýkingum og fleira sem Jóhanna fræddi okkur um tannheilsu í þættinum. Svo heyrðum við um verkefni á Suðurnesjum, þar sem er til dæmis kortlögð íþróttaiðkun barna með fötlun og aðgerðaráætlun með það fyrir augum að auka þáttöku þeirra og barna af erlendum uppruna í skipulögðu íþrótta- og tómstundastarfi. Þáttaka meðal einstaklinga með fötlun í skipulögðu íþróttastarfi er ekki nema 4% og sú prósenta er jafnvel enn lægri á Suðurnesjum. Sigurður Friðrik Gunnarsson og Petra Ruth Rúnarsdóttir, svæðisfulltrúar ÍSÍ og UMFÍ á Suðurnesjum, komu í þáttinn og sögðu okkur meira frá þessu.

A new Barna Group study reveals an alarming trend; for the first time as long as it has been measured, young women are leading Gen Z’s exodus from the church. Results of the study show that women ages 18-24 are less likely than young men the same age to identify with a faith or be active in church. What are the challenges and opportunities for the Church in this shift? Cicely Corry, the Editorial Director at Barna and an expert on this study, will join Seth and Deb to talk about the results of the survey with ideas on how to reach out to this demographic and how many in this age group have become more open to God today than before the pandemic!Donate to Moody Radio: http://moodyradio.org/donateto/morningshow/wdlmSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

 A 2022 Barna research study found that 56 percent of respondents said their faith is a private matter.   But scripture calls us to live and work in community.

In this episode, Nathan and Cameron explore the current state of Christianity, focusing on the "decline of the decline" in religious participation in America. Drawing on data from Barna, Pew, and Ruth Graham's New York Times article, they highlight a surprising trend: although church participation continues to drop, the rate of this decline has slowed in recent years. They discuss potential reasons for this shift, including a focus on core believers and the rise of younger conservatives seeking more traditional faith practices. The conversation also delves into the growing appeal of rooted religious traditions, the changing dynamics between male and female participation in church, and the broader implications of cultural shifts on faith. For Christians interested in thoughtful, theologically rich reflections on current events, this episode provides crucial insights into the intersection of faith, culture, and societal change.Christianity Decline Study:  https://www.nytimes.com/2025/02/26/us/christianity-us-religious-study-pew.htmlDavid Brooks Quote:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QSa52TR9tCA&t=637s DONATE LINK: https://toltogether.com/donate BOOK A SPEAKER: https://toltogether.com/book-a-speakerJOIN TOL CONNECT: https://toltogether.com/tol-connect TOL Connect is an online forum where TOL listeners can continue the conversation begun on the podcast.

It's Friday, February 21st, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 125 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com. I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Jonathan Clark 10th anniversary of Muslim beheading of 21 Libyan Christians Saturday was the 10th anniversary of when 21 Christians died for their faith in Libya. Islamic State militants beheaded them on February 15, 2015 for refusing to deny Christ. Most of the believers were Egyptian Coptic Christians. Vicky Hartzler with the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom said, “Today, we remember the 21 young men who were brutally murdered by ISIS solely for being Christian. The U.S. government must continue to be an unrelenting voice against violence that targets religious communities, including Coptic Christians.”  In memory of the 21 Christian martyrs, More Productions released a short, 13-minute animated film last year called “The 21.” You can watch it through a special link in our transcript today at TheWorldview.com.  Libya has been in turmoil since 2011 and the overthrow of its then-leader, Col. Muammar Gaddafi. Since then, numerous other militia groups have battled for control. According to Open Doors, Libya is the fourth most dangerous country worldwide in which to be a Christian. 74-year-old pro-life woman arrested for praying outside abortion mill Authorities in Scotland arrested a 74-year-old pro-life woman recently for standing silently outside an abortion mill in Glasgow. Rose Docherty was holding a sign that read, “Coercion is a crime, here to talk, only if you want.” Officials charged her with violating a new “buffer zone” law that limits activities around abortion mills. It's the first arrest under the law.  The arrest comes days after U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance called out European leaders for violating the religious freedom of pro-lifers.  Kash Patel confirmed as FBI Director In the United States, the U.S. Senate confirmed Kash Patel as FBI Director on February 20th, reports The Epoch Times. PRESIDING OFFICER: “The Yeas are 51; the Nays are 49. The confirmation is confirmed.” Senators voted 51–49 to confirm Patel who gained prominence for exposing alleged FBI and Justice Department malfeasance during the Crossfire Hurricane probe into the Trump campaign. Crossfire Hurricane was the code name for the counterintelligence investigation undertaken by the FBI from July 2016 to May 2017, into links between Donald Trump's presidential campaign and Russia. Republican Senators  Lisa Murkowski of Alaska and Susan Collins of Maine crossed the aisle to join Democrats in voting against Patel's nomination. Surprisingly, GOP Senator Mitch McConnell of Kentucky supported Trump's nominee. Republican Senator Chuck Grassley of Iowa, age 91, serves as the Chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee. Before the vote was cast, he made this last-minute appeal. GRASSLEY: “Mr. Patel has spent his whole career fighting for righteous causes. He's been a public defender, representing the accused against the power of the state. He's been a congressional staffer, investigating the partisan weaponization of our legal system. And he served in key national security roles, protecting Americans from foreign enemies. He's received support from former FBI agents, former federal and state prosecutors, and organizations representing more than 680,000 law enforcement officers. “But Mr. Patel's resume, his accomplishments, aren't why he's the best person for this job. Mr. Patel should be considered our next FBI director because the FBI has been infected by political bias and weaponized against the American people. Mr. Patel knows it. Mr. Patel exposed it. I've got plenty of examples to show what's wrong with the FBI.” Kash Patel wrote the 2024 book entitled, Government Gangsters: The Deep State, the Truth, and the Battle for Our Democracy. Military chaplain fired for citing Romans 1 in sermon A Veterans Affairs chaplain is fighting for his religious freedom.  Rusty Trubey served as a chaplain at the Coatesville Veterans Affairs Medical Center in Pennsylvania. However, Veterans Affairs removed him from his duties for preaching a sermon from Romans 1. The sermon was entitled, “When a Culture Excludes God,” and included homosexuality as an example.  First Liberty Institute and the Independence Law Center are representing Trubey. Last week, they sent a letter to Douglas Collins, the U.S. Secretary of Veterans Affairs. The letter noted, “This is a systemic problem. We know that you will do the right thing to correct not only the unconstitutional policies at the Coatesville Facility, but also throughout our [Veterans Affairs] system.” 2 Timothy 4:2 says, “Preach the Word! Be ready in season and out of season. Convince, rebuke, exhort, with all longsuffering and teaching.” U.S. poll: Only 40% believe in God of Bible; 4% have Biblical worldview Dr. George Barna released his latest American Worldview Inventory report. The study found that 46% of Americans agree that there is only one Supreme Spiritual Being who created and rules everything in existence. That number rose to 60% among self-identified Christians.  Dr. Barna noted many have a mix-and-match approach to faith: “The latest research finds that while two-thirds of Americans identify as Christian, only 4% hold a Biblical worldview. Even more alarming, just 40% believe in the God of the Bible, down from 73% three decades ago. Instead, Syncretism—blending elements from multiple worldviews—has become the dominant perspective.” Joshua 24:15 says, “But if serving the Lord seems undesirable to you, then choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods your ancestors served beyond the Euphrates, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you are living. But as for me and my household, we will serve the Lord.” Meta plans to build 30,000-mile-long sub-sea cable And finally, Meta announced last week it is building the world's largest sub-sea cable. The tech giant is known for its social media platforms like Facebook and Instagram.  Under its new plan called Project Waterworth, it will bring industry-leading connectivity around the world. The cable will connect five major continents and measure over 30,000 miles. That's more than the earth's entire circumference!

Teenagers: it's the best of times and the worst of times. We love them with our whole hearts, and they're also hard. Some are thriving, some aren't. We are quick to point fingers back at ourselves when things go wrong, and we breathe a sigh of relief when it's going right. In this conversation, Alex and Krista discuss parenting teenagers with Melissa Kruger, vice president of discipleship at The Gospel Coalition and author of Parenting with Hope. Melissa speaks about the challenges and joys of raising teens in a complex world. We hit on understanding the spectrum of teen experiences, the role of prayer, and the need for open communication. Melissa discusses the significance of tailoring parenting approaches to individual children and the necessity of maintaining hope amidst challenges. Teens today are facing pressures we simply did not have. Their challenges are different, and it serves us well to try and stand in their shoes. You will walk away encouraged and re-centered from this episode! FIND MORE ABOUT MELISSA KRUGER Melissa Kruger's -Website and Instagram Melissa Kruger's Book- Parenting with Hope SOME THINGS YOU HEARD ON THE SHOW Proverb 12:18 The words of the reckless pierce like swords, but the tongue of the wise brings healing   SOME QUOTES FROM THE SHOW: "I actually think it's sports and activities, it's scholastic achievement, and it's social acceptance. Those are the three, what I call, idols of our age that I think really raise the temperature in parenting teens right now." "When you step back and say, huh, maybe it would really matter that our family had family dinners every night, and we're gonna fight for that. Maybe it would really matter that we have space to actually get a little bored and do a puzzle as a family." "So many teens do not get the amount of sleep they need. That leads to greater rates of depression, which leads to greater problems down the road in other areas. And we're like, but they have to be at all these things (activities) or they won't be well-rounded. Who cares if they're well-rounded?" "In the Barna research, the amount of pressure that kids feel is different than previous generations. And yes, technology is a part of that, but also just the ramp up of all of these things of doing club sports by the time you're seven or eight. All of that plays into this level of pressure and stress." "Those simple acts of being in God's Word, being a mom of prayer, and being in church matter so I can parent well. I call it a three-legged stool." QUESTIONS TO HELP YOU RISE What is your current measure of hope with your teenager? How can you better address what is going on inside of your in order to better parent your teen? What of the three idols she mentioned, sports and activities, academic success, and social acceptance is most out of balance in your home? What can you do to create a more healthy rhythm in this area? How can you build your hope in Christ for you, for your own spiritual strength? LET'S CONNECT! Did you like this episode?
