It's Friday, February 6th, A.D. 2026. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com. I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Adam McManus 21 of 22 churches destroyed in Christian town in Myanmar since coup On January 30, the Burma Research Institute released a scathing report detailing destructive attacks, murders, and harassment of Christians and churches since the military coup in 2021 that forcefully took control of Myanmar, reports International Christian Concern. Some of the key findings include: 21 out of 22 churches in Thantlang Town, a majority-Christian town, have been destroyed and the town's population displaced since 2021. More than 340 churches and Christian buildings have been destroyed. 149 Christians murdered and 218 imprisoned from 2022 to 2025. One unnamed church leader, who is still living inside Myanmar, testified powerfully that the faithful are now scattered across jungles, remote areas, and informal shelters, struggling to preserve their faith and communal life under constant threat and insecurity. Pastor in India forced to eat cow dung After accusing a pastor in Odisha, India of forcefully converting Hindus to Christianity, a group of Hindu nationalists forced him to eat cow dung and drink sewer water, reports International Christian Concern. The incident occurred on January 4th, but only became widely known in recent days, prompting nationwide outrage and criticism. A mob of 40 people, reportedly affiliated with the Bajrang Dal — the militant wing of the Hindu nationalist Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh — stormed a home during a prayer meeting in Parjang village, and accused the pastor of conducting “forced religious conversions.” Pastor Bipin Bihari Naik was dragged from the house and beaten with sticks. His face was smeared with red vermilion. Sandals were hung around his neck. He was then paraded through the village for nearly two hours. Pastor Naik was eventually taken to a local Hindu temple, where his hands were tied to a metal rod, and he was forced to consume cow dung and drink water from a sewer. They also tried to force the pastor to chant Hindu slogans, but he refused to do so. In a statement on X, Pinarayi Vijayan, the chief minister of Kerala, wrote, “Forcing a human being to eat cow dung is a deeply inhuman act, emboldened by the silence and complicity of BJP-led governments.” Landslide in Congo kills 200 miners A landslide last week collapsed several tunnels at a major coltan mine in eastern Congo, leaving at least 200 people dead in the rebel-controlled site, reports the Associated Press. The collapse occurred Wednesday at the Rubaya mines, controlled by the Rwanda-backed M23 rebels, after heavy rains caused several hand-dug tunnels in the unregulated mine to cave. The M23 rebels and the Congolese government traded accusations over responsibility as reports from the remote region began to emerge. The collapse is one of the deadliest disasters in years in an area already facing a humanitarian crisis and ongoing conflict. Trump announced prayer gathering to rededicate America to God Appearing at the National Prayer Breakfast, President Donald Trump explained that the Department of Education will protect the right of public school students to pray. TRUMP: “Today, I'm also pleased to announce that the Department of Education is officially issuing its new guidance to protect the right to prayer in our public schools. That's a big deal.” (applause) President Trump also announced that Americans are invited to attend a special prayer event on the 250th birthday of America in our nation's capital. TRUMP: “In the last 12 months, young Americans attended church at nearly twice the rate as they did four years ago to support this exciting renewal. This morning, I'm pleased to announce that on May 17, we're inviting Americans from all across the country to come together on our National Mall to pray. We're going to rededicate America as one nation under God.” (applause) Psalm 33:12 says, “Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord, the people He chose for His inheritance.” NBC anchor Savannah Guthrie addresses kidnappers of her mother In a tearful video posted Wednesday on Instagram, “Today” co-anchor Savannah Guthrie — flanked by her sister, Annie Guthrie, and her brother, Camron Guthrie, pleaded for more information from the possible kidnapper of her 84-year-old mother, saying her family is “ready to talk,” reports NBC News. GUTHRIE: “Our mom is our heart and our home. She is 84 years old. Her health, her heart is fragile. She lives in constant pain. She is without any medicine. She needs it to survive. We need to know, without a doubt, that she is alive and that you have her. We want to hear from you. And we are ready to listen.” In the Instagram video, Savannah thanked the public for “the prayers for our beloved mom,” Nancy Guthrie, who was last seen Saturday night in her home outside Tucson, Arizona. She was reported missing after she did not show up for church. Nancy had no cognitive issues, and her disappearance was not linked to dementia. Blood was found on the front porch of Guthrie's house. DNA analysis has confirmed the blood belongs to Nancy Guthrie. A doorbell camera to her home was disconnected and removed at 1:47 local time and at 2:28, Guthrie's pacemaker was disconnected from her phone, an app shows. Fox10 TV reports that investigators are taking seriously a ransom note sent to a handful of media outlets connected to her disappearance. Heith Janke, the FBI chief in Phoenix, announced that they have arrested Derrick Callella in Hawthorne, California. Shocking lessons taught on college campuses today And finally, according to Students for Life's January newsletter, college students are being taught shocking lessons – often paid for by our tax dollars. * Harvard University has a class called, "Come hammered. Get Nailed: Safe Sex Under the Influence.” * Ohio State University features a class entitled, "Fighting Abortion Stigma with Planned Parenthood." * And Grand Valley State University has one called “Breaking Up with Purity Culture.” If that's not enough, they'll be encouraged to write Valentine's Day “thank you” cards to abortionists! The truth is many colleges have turned into little more than recruitment centers for Planned Parenthood's bloody business by first encouraging students to experiment sexually and then funneling vulnerable young women to abortionists to “take care of” or murder the natural consequences of sex – precious little babies. Campus missionaries with Students for Life are confronting the Culture of Death with three outreaches. First, setting up Cemetery of Innocents displays that visually expose the gruesome reality of abortion featuring 1,102 bright pink crosses commemorating the preborn babies aborted by Planned Parenthood every day. Second, hosting table events that spark one-on-one conversations with pro-abortion college students. And third, screening the pro-life movie Unplanned which tells the incredible conversion story of Abby Johnson, who was a Planned Parenthood director-turned-staunch-pro-life-activist, after she witnessed a preborn child squirming for its life away from an abortionist's tools during an abortion.

There comes a point where potential, flashes, and hope have to give way to reality. In this episode, Brad and Ryan lay out the case for why it may be time for the Indiana Pacers to move on from Bennedict Mathurin — and do so while there's still real value to be had. Mathurin, a former lottery pick, has shown undeniable scoring talent and delivered unforgettable moments — most notably his eruption in Game 3 of the NBA Finals last season. But as the sample size grows, those highs have increasingly become the exception rather than the rule. The all-around production, consistency, and fit within the Pacers identity simply haven't followed. With restricted free agency looming and a potentially significant payday on the horizon, the front office faces a difficult question: is Mathurin a long-term building block — or an asset best moved before the league's perception shifts further? This isn't about denying the talent. It's about timing, fit, and value. Sometimes, the hardest move is the right move, and simply put — it's time to Break Up With Benn.

Most people expect a divorce or breakup to be painful. What they don't expect is for it to feel strategic, relentless, and never-ending. If you're separating from someone with narcissistic traits, you're likely treating it as a transition, but they're treating it like a war. Today you'll learn why divorcing or breaking up with a narcissistic partner follows a completely different set of psychological rules, the mindset shifts that help you stop taking the bait, and what you need to do differently, especially if you have kids and want to protect them long-term.____________________________Full blog and show notes: https://abbymedcalf.com/divorcing-or-breaking-up-with-a-narcissist Are You Divorcing or Breaking Up with Someone Who Has Narcissistic Traits?

Send us a textMe Before PMDD: Relationship Reset Toolkit-CouplesClick to Book a Private PMDD SessionFollow me on InstagramFollow me on TikTokEver feel like one tiny comment can tip your whole relationship over? PMDD can make the ordinary feel unbearable, not because your love changed, but because your stress response did. We pull back the curtain on how the luteal phase cranks up the body's alarm system—spiking cortisol, shrinking emotional tolerance, and distorting what you think your partner means—so neutral moments read like rejection and everyday chores feel like cliffs.We walk through real‑life flashpoints, like time management clashes and airport anxiety, to show how different nervous systems handle stress. You'll hear a simple shift—explaining the why behind your behavior—turn rigidity into care and defensiveness into teamwork. We dig into the intimacy gap that opens when fatigue pushes you into autopilot, and how two‑minute check‑ins can keep connection alive without draining your last bit of energy. Instead of chasing a stress‑free fantasy, we focus on building a responsive plan: safe time‑outs for rage, short body resets to lower baseline arousal, and weekly “release the pressure” rituals that stop micro‑triggers from stockpiling.Using the balloon metaphor, we map how unaddressed stress accumulates all month and pops during PMDD. The fix isn't a breakup or silence until it blows; it's steady processing while your brain can still think clearly. We share tools to align on hot zones before they heat up, trade roles when energy dips, and name what's happening in plain language so your partner stops feeling like the enemy. By seeing stress as a shared opponent and PMDD as a filter—not a verdict—you can protect your bond and move through the luteal phase with more clarity, compassion, and control.If this helped, follow the show, share it with someone who needs it, and leave a quick review to tell us the tool you're trying first.
We often talk about being busy like it's just a season we're going through, but what if it has become our way of life? Pastor Mike explores the spiritual cost of constantly running at full speed. Drawing from the wisdom in Ecclesiastes, this message offers a clear, thoughtful challenge to the pace we've come to accept as normal.
Episode SummaryIn this episode, Georgie Fear explores the psychological chain reactions behind binge eating, revealing how it often serves as a rebound effect from excessive restraint and self-sacrifice. Through the story of Marta, a busy mom juggling family and business, listeners learn how binge eating isn't about selfishness—it's actually a compensation for too much selflessness.Key Topics CoveredWhy binge eating doesn't occur in isolation—it's a rebound or "ricochet" from preceding circumstancesThe intersection of restraint and entitlement in disordered eatingHow excessive self-sacrifice during the day leads to compensatory eating behaviorsThe difference between healthy restraint and harmful restrictionWhy taking away the "problem food" isn't the solutionMain Story: Marta's JourneyMarta is a married mother of four who runs a home business while managing her children's busy schedules. Despite loving her life, she struggles with eating entire boxes of cookies in her car between errands. Georgie reveals how Marta's binge eating is actually an aftershock of practicing too much selflessness—skipping meals, ignoring her own needs, and constantly serving others.Key InsightsBinge eating behaviors can be understood as a solution rather than just a problemStrong emotional attachments to binge behaviors are normal—even when you desperately want to stopThe solution isn't more restraint; it's learning to ease up on the excessive ways we restrict ourselvesNot all restraint is bad—healthy restraint allows balanced decision-makingAction Steps DiscussedAllow yourself to rest when tiredMake time to eat proper mealsGive yourself permission to daydream and think about your own wantsDedicate time to activities just for yourselfExplore what you want—not just what others needComing Up NextThe next episode will dive deeper into how food interacts with restraint, addressing the common belief that any restriction leads to disorder, and discussing how people with a history of disordered eating can still lose weight in a healthy way.Connect with Confident EatersFor more resources on achieving complete food freedom, visit ConfidentEaters.com or subscribe to the Breaking Up with Binge Eating Podcast.

If you're struggling with weight loss (those fat loss plateaus constantly holding you back), metabolic adaptation (aka a slow metabolism from 1200 calorie deficits), self-worth, or feel like you're doing "everything right" but still not seeing results – this episode is for you. In this episode, I'm diving into the subtle (and sneaky) ways diet mentality keeps women stuck in a fat loss plateau, even if they're not actively binging or following a restrictive plan. From tracking out of fear to avoiding certain foods out of guilt, I'm walking through how diet culture shows up in your thoughts, your habits, and your relationship with food and your body.

You chose “Breaking Up With the Old Version of You,” and it's time to stop carrying expired versions of yourself into a new season.In this episode, we get real about what it means to release who you used to be — the survival version, the people-pleaser, the one who stayed too long. We'll talk about the steps it takes to let go without erasing your history, the tools you need to stay aligned with the new you, and how to evolve while still honoring the woman who got you here.Growth isn't about forgetting your past — it's about refusing to live there. If you've been feeling uncomfortable or outgrowing old patterns, this one's for you.

Victor Wembanyama doesn't even need to start to completely flip a game on its head. On this episode of The Alley Oop Basketball Show on DLS Hoops, Juju Gotti and Trysta Krick break down how Wemby lifted the Spurs just by coming off the bench — blocking everything in sight, dominating the paint, and casually stuffing the stat sheet like it's light work. The hosts also dig into the growing tension between Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Milwaukee Bucks — is this the beginning of a real breakup, or just another NBA power struggle brewing behind the scenes? And finally… Steph Curry might be the only superstar in the league who can sell shoes while barely wearing his own. Juju and Trysta react to Steph rocking seemingly every sneaker brand except his own, and what that says about sneaker culture, endorsements, and Curry's legacy.

In finance, success often means getting bigger, yet time and again, the market cheers when a huge company decides to intentionally break itself up. Why does spinning off a subsidiary so often unlock massive shareholder value?In this episode of Corporate Finance Explained on FinPod, we break down the strategic logic, mechanics, and critical financial challenges behind corporate spin-offs, making it essential listening for anyone in corporate strategy, M&A, or investor relations.Spinoff Mechanics & Value DriversA spin-off is a powerful, generally tax-free maneuver where the parent company distributes shares of a subsidiary directly to its existing shareholders, creating a fully independent "pure play" company.Here are the four main reasons this strategy often makes the total value of the combined entities much larger than the original conglomerate:Strategic Focus: Separation enables each management team to focus solely on their specific business model (e.g., utility cash flow vs. software growth), thereby removing internal friction and distraction. Valuation Re-Rating (Pure Play Effect): The market hates complexity (conglomerate discount). Breaking the company apart allows analysts to value each "pure play" unit against specific, comparable peers (such as healthcare vs. aviation), instantly increasing the collective value. Better Incentives: Boards can tailor executive compensation (e.g., high stock options for a growth startup) to attract and retain specialized talent, which was impossible under the slow-growth parent. Capital Allocation Freedom: Separated companies can develop capital plans tailored to their specific needs (e.g., one invests billions in 5G, while the other focuses solely on dividends), thereby eliminating internal competition for resources.Case Studies: Breaking Up for GrowthWe examine pivotal spin-offs that redefined industries:PayPal & eBay (2015): PayPal, tethered to the eBay marketplace, was unable to partner with rivals like Amazon. Independence enabled it to launch an aggressive partnership blitz, resulting in its market cap more than doubling in three years due to the strategic freedom it afforded.AT&T & Warner Media (2022): Driven by massive capital allocation issues (feeding both the capital-intensive telecom core and the cash-burning streaming empire). The spin-off allowed AT&T to focus on paying down debt and 5G buildout.General Electric (GE): The ultimate pure play story. Separating the conglomerate into three focused businesses (Aviation, Healthcare, Energy) is projected to unlock significantly higher collective value by removing the devastating conglomerate discount.The Finance Challenge: Pitfalls and ExecutionThe strategy is powerful, but the execution is risky. Finance teams (FP&A, Treasury) must nail these critical areas:Standalone Viability: Building full financial statements from scratch to ensure the new company can survive and thrive without the parent's scale and support. Stranded Costs / Dis-Synergies: The hidden risk where the cost of duplicating shared services (IT, HR, accounting) and building new infrastructure is underestimated, potentially wiping out the expected value.Capital Structure Design: Carefully dividing the corporate debt to ensure both companies emerge with a healthy credit rating and leverage profile that fits their new strategic mission. Investor Communication: Crafting a crystal-clear narrative for investors, providing honest estimates for dis-synergy costs, and proving the math with a robust Sum-of-the-Parts (SOTP) valuation.The next time a spin-off is announced, look past the headlines: Check the clarity of the dis-synergy estimates and whether the new capital structure makes strategic sense. Radical simplification and the quest for pure play are often the most powerful tools in the corporate strategy playbook.
We're off this week, deep into planning and scheduling for next year. Please enjoy this Best Of episode, originally released in October.Hannah Storey, Advocacy and Policy Advisor at Amnesty International, joins the show to talk about her new brief that reframes Big Tech monopolies as a human rights crisis, not just a market competition problem.This isn't about consumer choice or antitrust law. It's about how concentrated market power violates fundamental rights—freedom of expression, privacy, and the right to hold views without interference or manipulation.Can you make a human rights case against Big Tech? Why civil society needed to stop asking these companies to fix themselves and start demanding structural change. What happens when regulation alone won't work because the companies have massive influence over the regulators?Is Big Tech actually innovating anymore? Or are they just buying up competition and locking down alternatives? Does scale drive progress, or does it strangle it?What would real accountability look like? Should companies be required to embed human rights due diligence into product development from the beginning?Are we making the same mistakes with AI?

"If only I had more willpower, then I could stop overeating sweets...exercise more...and finally lose weight!" These are common beliefs amongst those who have struggled with their health goals for a long time. So you may have wondered why we don't talk much about "willpower" on this podcast. Today we are going to address why we don't promote it as a primary weight management strategy. The truth is, willpower is limited and finite in nature, and one's belief in their willpower capability can greatly impact their behavior. Instead, we would like to introduce you to concepts we prefer and find more helpful and empowering. We also discuss the importance of engineering your environment and leveraging social support to make healthier choices easier. If you want to manage your whole state, strengthen your self control, and create a supportive environment for long-term healthy eating habits, then we hope you join us for this episode!
