Today, on Karl and Crew, we continued our weekly theme of fasting with a discussion about turning back to the Lord. We all make mistakes, but we have a merciful Heavenly Father who loves us unconditionally and will look past those mistakes because He wants us to return to Him. We are affirmed of His merciful embrace in Joel 2:12-13, where He is described as “gracious, merciful, slow to anger, of great kindness, and relents from doing harm.” Have you returned to the Lord? We were also joined by Dr. Drew Dickens, our special guest, who provided insight into the intersection of technology and spirituality. Dr. Dickens is a visionary leader, an AI expert, and a scholar who focuses on the intersection of technology, spirituality, and faith-based engagement. He also founded the Encountering Peace app and the Encouter Podcast, which provide biblical meditations, resources, and dialogue.

It's Wednesday, March 12th, 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 British street preacher faced Muslim death threats A court in the United Kingdom threw out a case against a Christian street preacher this week. Back in 2023, Karandeep Mamman faced death threats from a group of Muslims for sharing the Gospel with them. To his shock, police later charged him with causing religiously aggravated harassment.  Karandeep won his case in court thanks to the help of the Christian Legal Centre. Andrea Williams, a leader with the Christian Legal Centre, said, “The CCTV footage reveals Karandeep being assaulted, threatened and surrounded, for expressing his Christian beliefs, yet it is he that ends up being prosecuted by the police.”  After the ruling, Karandeep said, “I am relieved and pleased that the judge threw the case out and I give all the glory to Jesus.” In Romans 1:16, the Apostle Paul wrote, “I am not ashamed of the Gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes.” Ukraine agrees to 30-day ceasefire with Russia Ukraine agreed to a 30-day ceasefire in the war with Russia.  U.S. and Ukrainian officials announced the agreement yesterday after talks in Saudi Arabia. The ceasefire is now pending approval by Russia.  Secretary of State Marco Rubio led the U.S. delegation. RUBIO: “We'll take this offer now to the Russians, and we hope that they'll say yes, that they'll say yes to peace. The ball is now in their court.  But again, the President's objective, [Donald Trump], here is number one above everything else. He wants the war to end, and I think today, Ukraine has taken a concrete step in that regard. We hope the Russians will reciprocate.” Rubio added, “It'll be up to [Russia] to say yes or no. If they say no, then we'll unfortunately know what the impediment is to peace here.” Following Ukraine's agreement to the ceasefire, the Trump administration said it would resume military aid and intelligence sharing with Ukraine.   United States increasing influence over Panama Canal The United States is increasing its influence over the Panama Canal. BlackRock, the American investment company, is leading a consortium to buy over 40 ports in 23 countries for $23 billion. A conglomerate based in Hong Kong is selling its control of the ports. The deal includes the ports on either end of the Panama Canal as well as ports in Mexico, the Netherlands, Egypt, Australia, and Pakistan.  President Donald Trump touted the deal as reclaiming the Panama Canal from Chinese influence.  House OKs continuing resolution funding gov't through end of fiscal year On Tuesday, the House voted 217-213 to pass the Republicans' continuing resolution that would avert a partial government shutdown that was set to begin Friday. The bill will now go to the Senate, where its prospects remain uncertain, reports The Daily Signal. The GOP-backed Continuing Resolution passed the House along party lines with the exception of Republican Congressman Thomas Massie of Kentucky who remained the only Republican in opposition. All Democrats voted against it, except Democratic Congressman Jared Golden of Maine. Now, the Continuing Resolution will face an even greater test in the Senate, where Republicans will have to win over the votes of at least seven Democrats or independents in order to bring the bill to the floor. Navy no longer pays for abortion travel The U.S. Navy announced last week it will no longer cover travel-related expense or provide leave for its service members to get abortions. The new policy ends a pro-abortion policy from the Biden administration. The Coast Guard also updated its policies to no longer cover travel expenses or grant leave for abortions. YouTube TV discriminates against Christian programming The Federal Communications Commission is questioning YouTube TV over allegations that it discriminates against Christian programming.  Brendan Carr, the Chairman of the FCC, sent a letter last week to the CEOs of Alphabet and Google which own YouTube TV. The letter cites a complaint from Great American Media. The network shares family-friendly and Christian content. It's one of the fastest growing networks and is carried on many cable and streaming services, but not on YouTube TV.  Carr noted, “These concerning allegations come at a time when American public discourse has experienced an unprecedented—and unacceptable—surge in censorship.” Franklin Graham preached to 400,000 Ethiopians And finally, Evangelist Franklin Graham preached to over 400,000 people in Ethiopia this past weekend. GRAHAM: “He took your sins and my sins, and He went to the grave. He died. He was buried, but on the third day, God raised His Son to life. Jesus isn't dead. He is alive.  He's in Ethiopia tonight, and He'll come into each and every heart that invites Him.” The Billy Graham Evangelistic Association organized the event with over 1,600 Evangelical churches in the country. They held the event in Meskal Square in Ethiopia's capital of Addis Ababa. Meskal Square means “Cross Square.” The square was the place where infamous Communist rallies once took place. During the event, Graham posted on Facebook. He said, “Sixty-five years ago today, my father Billy Graham preached the Gospel here in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, and it is such a privilege for me to be able to preach here this weekend. … Please pray for these new believers and the local Evangelical churches as they follow up with them.” Speaking of Jesus, Acts 4:12 says, “And there is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under Heaven given among men by which we must be saved.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Wednesday, March 12th, 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.

When you think about Christmas, what is the song that is the soundtrack for this season of your life? Maybe it's Joy to the World, O Holy Night, or White Christmas. But have you ever thought about the very first Christmas song that was ever sung?A lot of us would probably think it's Hark! The Herald Angels Sing from Luke 2:14. But that wasn't the first Christmas song. The first Christmas song actually came nine months before that – it was Mary's song.This time of year isn't the same for everyone. There are many who struggle with the holidays and many who may be coming out of a season of suffering. Today on Fearless, I'm taking a look at Mary's story. I hope it is a reminder that, despite what we have going on, we are to be like Mary and praise God despite our worldly circumstances. To watch this episode visit https://cissiegrahamlynch.com/fearless-episode-149/.  For more resources and additional episodes visit https://cissiegrahamlynch.com.

Every family and community has their own traditions and our family is no different. From Christmas traditions to everyday habits, we have built things that our family holds so dear. But this year I have been really thinking about when traditions can become a distraction from our ultimate purpose - to know and be known by God.   How do we create an environment that builds traditions that move us closer to God? How do we avoid making the “Good ‘Ole Days” into an idol that robs us of the blessings that God has for us in the present?

In this election process–no matter what happens in the next few weeks–our battle is not between political parties. It's the epic spiritual battle of good versus evil, truth versus lies.

We need to be prepared to fight for our beliefs, our children, and for the future of our country. We need to stand for truth, fight against evil, and never compromise. Whether it's agenda-based curriculum in schools, gender confusion, and abortion, or religious freedom, immigration, and the impact of the economy, if we do nothing evil will fill the gap.

Many people think we shouldn't talk about religion and politics. But one of the most essential rights we have as Americans is the right to free exercise of religion. In fact, it was so important to the founding fathers that they included it in the first sentence of the Bill of Rights. This has been a beacon of hope to those in other countries where people are persecuted for their religion. Yet, so many in our country want to take those rights away – claiming separation of church and state.Today, on the #FearlessPodcast I'm taking a look at the stories of people in the U.S. who have faced persecution and not backed down. My grandfather, Billy Graham, once said, “Let us stand for political freedom, moral freedom, religious freedom, and all the rights of all Americans, and let's never give in to those who would attempt to take it from us.” We pray that a new generation of believers will rise up to stand for the truth of God's Word.If you've missed any of the episodes in the Election Series, I encourage you to catch up at https://cissiegrahamlynch.com.

What would you do if your child decided to identify as a bird and thought they could fly off of the stairs? You would stop them to protect them from getting hurt. Yet today many children are being influenced to harm themselves through body mutilation and toxic, life-altering drugs because they ‘identify' as something they are not – and parents, doctors and the government are not only complying, they are advocating for it. Before gender identity was ever a political issue, it was a Biblical issue. Genesis 1:27 says, “And God made man in His own likeness. In the likeness of God He made him. He made both male and female.” We don't define our gender – only God can define who we are.  Today, on the #FearlessPodcast, I'm talking about what parents can do to protect our kids from this evil and serious issue when advocates of gender reassignment are coming after our children.

Today on the #FearlessPodcast, my friends Bethany and Josh Bidwell are joining me to share the battle they faced with their children in the public school system in Oregon. While Oregon is known to be a hotbed for the progressive, secular agenda, the perverse and disturbing depravity their children were exposed to solidified their decision to move them to a private school. Our education system is actively taking steps to indoctrinate our children – and they don't want parents to know. Whether it's Critical Race Theory, gender theory, or social Marxism, many anti-Biblical and anti-American ideologies which are destructive to the core traditional values many families have are shaping future generations.While putting kids in private school or homeschooling isn't always an option, being informed is the first step to making a change. Parents need to know what their kids are being taught – and who is teaching them – and take steps to make sure their voices and concerns are heard. Our greatest mission field is our kitchen table. And if we aren't talking to our kids about these issues, the schools will. When parents demonstrate a Christ-like attitude and teach a foundation of Biblical truth to our children, the more they will understand God's Word for themselves and be able to reject the lies of this world.

Who will preserve and protect the most vulnerable people in our society? I've talked about abortion on the #FearlessPodcast many times. This is one of those topics that people seem to confuse between being a personal/political issue or a Biblical one. But the Bible is very clear – Thou shall not kill. These are four simple words that have literally divided this nation and the churches within it. When Roe v. Wade was overturned in 2022, the press and social media misinformation was used to scare women. Yet, this “right” has not been taken away and it's not the only option. The decision to have an abortion used to be a last resort. Out of desperation or fear, women thought they didn't have a choice. But now it is championed. It's paraded. It's bragged about. It shouted about from steps at our Capitol. It's become an active form of birth control. Far too many people – Christian or not – have sat silent because we all know someone (whether we are aware of it or not) who has faced this unfathomable “choice.” One out of four women in the U.S. have had an abortion. It's up to the church to show love and support to these women and children through these difficult circumstances and let them know it's never too late for God's grace and forgiveness. Today on the #FearlessPodcast, I'm tackling reproductive rights – one of the 8 topics in my Election Prayer Guide – and why it's so important to know what your state and elected officials' stance is on this issue that affects the future of our nation.

Immigration and national security are tough topics for many Christians. We are called to love our neighbor and take care of the widows and orphans. But we also called to submit to the governing authority. My dad has said the job of the church is to love people, but the job of the government is to provide careful security for its citizens.

On today's program, the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association threatens to sue after the group Evangelicals for Harris uses video of Billy Graham to make an anti-Trump ad. We'll have details. Plus, a storm is brewing within the Evangelical Presbyterian Church—some are asking if the denomination will stay true to its mission. And, the leaders of Kanakuk Kamps are the defendants in a sexual abuse-related lawsuit. They tried to get parts of that lawsuit dismissed—and the court has handed down its decision. We'll take a look. But first, a class action lawsuit has been filed against Gateway Church and its former pastor Robert Morris. Gateway Church, headquartered in the Dallas suburb of Southlake, has been facing a multitude of allegations and controversies after Cindy Clemishire's sexual abuse allegations against founding pastor Robert Morris led to his resignation. Now, a class action lawsuit has been filed against the church in federal court by members who are concerned about the stewardship of the money they contributed. The producer for today's program is Jeff McIntosh. We get database and other technical support from Stephen DuBarry, Rod Pitzer, and Casey Sudduth. Writers who contributed to today's program include Kim Roberts, Kathryn Post, Marci Seither, Mallory Challis, Brittany Smith and Christina Darnell.

Hurricane Helene Podcast       Came ashore around 9 pm on September 26th.   Hit the big bend area of Florida and traveled across Florida, Georgia, NW South Carolina, Western North Carolina and East/Central Tennessee   Massive devastation and loss of life have occurred. Death toll has exceeded 100 and it is climbing.   Whole towns have been destroyed and many large cities have been crippled.   Interstate 40 and 26 have had road and bridge washouts. Side highways and other roadways have been destroyed and/or compromised.   Charitable organizations are mobilizing to bring much needed food, water and shelter as soon as they can.   What can you do? Plenty… It has been said that CASH is KING! And it is if you know who you are donating too.   Our choice is Samaritans Purse. They are located in Boone NC and they're area has been hit hard. Money helps get the ball rolling and they also have volunteer needs to go into the areas that are in need. The rebuilding will take many years due to the shear scale of devastation.

As parents, we are in a battle for the souls of our children; as Christians, we are in a battle for the soul of our nation. This may sound dramatic, but every day we can see first-hand how our values are under attack – especially as we get closer to Election Day. Today, Pastor Gary Hamrick joins me for a new episode of the #FearlessPodcast to talk about how the fight is now at our front door. His church, Cornerstone Chapel is in the backyard of Washington DC, and they have seen members of their church face attacks because of their rights as parents, their belief to not embrace transgenderism, taking a stand for what's being taught to their children, and more. My grandfather, Billy Graham, often said that Psalms would teach you how to get along with God, And the Proverbs teach you how to get along with man. Pastor Gary shares how he has encouraged his church to navigate the battles they encounter with Proverbs as their guide, and he encourages us to do the same.

With chaos all around us, how should Christians respond? I've always been a fan of John Wayne and the calm he brought to scenes filled with confusion and panic. One of his famous quotes was, "My hope and prayer is that everyone know and love our country for what she really is and what she stands for." It reminds me of another quote from my grandfather, Billy Graham, who said, “the secret strength of a nation is found in the faith that abides in the hearts and homes of the country.” My prayer is that this episode of the #FearlessPodcast helps you remember what's important in these chaotic days.For more resources and additional episodes visit https://cissiegrahamlynch.com.

Give to help make Truce! Billy Graham, the famous evangelist, was good friends with Richard Nixon. The two played golf and gave each other advice. Graham was the person who encouraged Nixon to run for president a second time. He also encouraged Nixon to regularly attend church, so Nixon started the first regular church service in the White House, only to make it another "it" place to be seen. But when Nixon's crimes were made public, Graham continued to support him, commenting only on the strong language used by the president. What does it mean for Christian leaders to stand behind a corrupt president? In this episode, Chris interviews David Bruce, a historian at the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association. NOTE: I thought it was especially important to outline the many crimes of the Nixon administration. Today these crimes are downplayed by bad actors wishing to rewrite history. It is important to emphasize that not only were there immoral acts of shenanigans, there were real crimes perpetrated against individuals, organizations, and the American people.

Ordained minister, Dr. Dennis Hall, reacts to individuals who cannot understand why white evangelical Christians have politically supported former president Donald Trump. It is primarily because he pledged to protect people of faith and he delivered on that promise. Clearly, former president Donald Trump has a colorful background, but on the other hand, he is the only president who invited groups of ministers to come to the Oval Office and pray with him and over him. Evangelical Christians believe that God will continue to bless America to the extent that we follow him. Many like Franklin Graham Pres. and CEO of the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association believe that America has turned its back on God and that at some point God will judge America. Dr. Hall reviews some of the biblical characters who had colorful backgrounds and became important to God in the expansion of his kingdom. The role that each of us play in the nation's godlessness is analyzed. The symptoms of becoming godless as individuals are discussed. Dr. Hall concludes this podcast by urging the listeners to not forget what God has done for them and him become a part of the population that is turning its back on God.

Thanks to our faithful donors, we are able to provide food, housing, healthcare, education, fresh water, emergency relief, micro-enterprise solutions and much more. We are proud to have fed millions of people and provided more than 15.7 billion dollars in aid. Our faith inspires us to be an organization built on compassion, and motivated by love. Our mission is to bring relief to the poorest of the poor in the countries where we serve. We strive to reflect God's unconditional love. It's a sacrificial love that embraces all people regardless of race or religion. We believe that we can show His love by serving the “least of these” on this earth as Christ challenged us to do in Matthew 25. We pray that by God's grace, and with your support, we can continue to bring relief to the suffering and hope to the hopeless.   Report on Food For the Poor by Charity Navigator https://www.charitynavigator.org/ein/592174510   -------------------------------------------------------- Disclaimer from ACU.

For more info contact luke@gravityjack.com Luke Richey began coding software at the age of 14, a foundation upon which he has built a life dedicated to businesses that bring society and technology into the future. His broad understanding of the industry, paired with a passion for both integrity and optimization within the business domain, led him to create many successful startups.         In 2009, after selling his business to a gaming company, he co-founded Gravity Jack with a vision to advance mobile-based augmented reality. With a strong patent portfolio, dedicated research team and a top-tier client roster, Gravity Jack was quickly established as a leader in the industry.        On March 16, 2019, following multiple supernatural encounters with the Lord, Luke surrendered his heart to Jesus Christ. Transformed and fully submitted to his Savior, Luke saw God work many miracles in his life, including the restoration of his health, his marriage, his family and his finances. The impact of his spiritual transformation and new reliance on Christ was so evident to those around him that revival broke out throughout his extended family.    The founders of Gravity Jack, Luke and Jen Richey, are passionate followers of Jesus who are on a mission to help spread the gospel to the 50% of the population that does not have the Bible translated in their heart language by using AI and an AR game. Automatic translation engines like Google Translate only support the top 100 languages (ChatGPT supports 95) and the likelihood of these tech giants supporting any more languages is close to none. This is due to smaller linguistic communities lacking the critical mass of users needed to justify a profitable investment, and they often lack the necessary large datasets for effective AI training. Consequently, corporations claiming to be global connectors are disregarding the economic, intellectual and social potential of half the world's population.    Gravity Jack is aiming to leverage the appeal of the gaming industry and the dedication of its market to bring the other 50% of the world onto the international economic stage that otherwise would never see, hear or read much of anything in their native language. Gravity Jack has a unique opportunity to do something that has not been done before.    The company is currently developing an original augmented reality video game, WarTribe of Binyamin, which creates a multi-world war game with active and passive multiplayer role-playing, featuring revolutionary and patented augmented reality elements and geo ownership while simultaneously economically uplifting people in poverty. The video game bundles AR, AI and play-to-earn into one dynamic mobile app – all while generating what is poised to be the most robust translation service available on the marketplace.   Ken Barun, Senior Vice President of the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association was recently announced as one of the newest members to the Board of Directors at Gravity Jack. Ken is a distinguished leader with extensive corporate and philanthropic experience, including his role as President/CEO of Ronald McDonald House Charities Worldwide and Director of Projects and Policy on the White House staff to First Lady, Nancy Reagan. His commitment to making a positive impact is evident in his founding of the charity, and his dedication to charitable work and corporate social responsibility reflects his passion for making a difference in the world.

It's Wednesday, November 8th, 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 Nepalese pastor's year-long prison sentence upheld Last month, the Supreme Court of Nepal upheld a one-year prison sentence for a pastor. Officials charged Pastor Keshab Raj Acharya under the country's anti-conversion law. His wife told Christian Today the government is using the case to set an example and deter Christians in the Hindu-majority country from sharing their faith. The anti-conversion law went into effect in 2018. Since then, Nepali Christians have faced increased persecution, including false accusations and violence. In Matthew 5:11-12, Jesus said, “Blessed are you when others revile you and persecute you and utter all kinds of evil against you falsely on my account. Rejoice and be glad, for your reward is great in Heaven.” Russia withdraws from treaty Russia formally withdrew from the Treaty on Conventional Armed Forces in Europe yesterday. In response, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, known as NATO, also pulled out of the Cold War-era security pact. The treaty was meant to keep the Cold War powers from amassing troops near each other's borders. This comes less than a week after Russia also revoked its ratification of a nuclear treaty that banned nuclear weapons tests. This only increases the already high tensions between NATO and Russia since Russia invaded Ukraine last year. Speaker Johnson: We need to secure American border before Ukrainian border Speaking of Ukraine, the U.S. House of Representatives is considering linking aid to Ukraine with increased security at the U.S.-Mexico border. Republican Rep. Mike Johnson of Louisiana is the new House Speaker. He told Fox News we have to secure our border first. JOHNSON: “We can do all of these things together. But when you couple Ukraine and the border that makes sense to people because they say, ‘If we're going to protect Ukraine's border, but we have to take care of our own border first.' And that's what we're saying. This is policy changes that are necessary. “There's a growing consensus in the Congress, certainly amongst Republicans, but also even some across the aisle who recognize we have to change what is happening. Over 6.3 million illegal crossings since Joe Biden took office.” The House also approved aid for Israel last week in a plan to reallocate over $14 billion away from the IRS. Christian wins public school religious liberty case A Christian woman who was a public school student in Chicago won a $150,000 settlement last month in a religious liberty case. Back in February, Mariyah Green sued the Chicago Board of Education for a Quiet Time program that was implemented at her school during the 2018-2019 school year. The program, known as Transcendental Meditation, was originally developed by a Hindu. Green said the school expected her to chant a mantra and honor Hindu deities as part of the program.  Despite what she believed to be an attack on her faith, Green told The Christian Post she hopes God continues to use her to "spread the Gospel and also to help people.” Texas vs. Planned Parenthood The state of Texas is taking Planned Parenthood to court in a $1.8 billion fraud case. Texas accuses the abortion giant of fraudulently obtaining state Medicaid funds. Texas terminated Planned Parenthood as a Medicaid provider back in 2021. The judge in the case is U.S. District Judge Matthew Kacsmaryk. He was appointed by President Donald Trump. Kacsmaryk is also the judge who ruled back in April against the FDA's approval of the Abortion Kill Pill.  Fifty-three percent of mothers who abort their unborn babies due so chemically. 37% of Americans think we did not evolve A new poll from Suffolk University/USA TODAY asked people across America what they believe about evolution. Twenty-nine percent of respondents said humans evolved into their present form without divine intervention; 24% said humans evolved but under God's direction; and 37% said humans did not evolve but were created in their present form by God. Belief in creation by God without evolution was strongest among Republicans, older people, and people with no more than a high school degree.  Genesis 1:27 says, “So God created man in His own image, in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them.” Franklin Graham preached in Rome, Italy And finally, nearly 20,000 people attended an outreach event in Rome, Italy this week led by Evangelist Franklin Graham with the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association. It was the largest evangelical outreach event in Italy's history. Before the event, Graham said, “Rome is filled with centuries of history, culture and religion, but I'm not coming to talk about these things. I'm coming to Rome to share how we can all have a real and personal relationship with God through His Son Jesus Christ.” GRAHAM: “Will you invite Christ to come into your life? If you've never done that, if you're here tonight and you're not sure that your sins are forgiven, you can make sure right now. You're not coming to Franklin Graham.  I cannot save you. You're coming to Jesus Christ. So come!” This week also marks the birthday of Franklin's father, Billy Graham. He was born on November 7, 1918 in Charlotte, North Carolina. The evangelist preached to some 215 million people across 185 countries and territories in his life.
