In this short chapter the Prophet Zechariah wrote one of the most powerful verses in Scripture—in fact, it defines everything about our own ‘power’ to serve God. A must-listen…

Here is the sum-total of why Paul followed Jesus—and why he suffered so much to provoke all Christians to do the same. This remains the game-changer of Paul's entire ministry…

Paul told the Philippians he wanted to know ‘the fellowship of sharing in Christ’s sufferings.' Throughout his ministry he endured terrible sufferings—so why would he desire more of it, and to revel in it? It's here that Paul declares the great and seemingly crazy yearning of Christians—one that's been horrendously misunderstood for centuries…

The Prophet Zechariah picks up where the Prophets Haggai and Ezekiel left off—and begins unveiling the future of God’s people and their Land. Here it comes…!

The story of the Biblical matriarch Rebekah has a delightful start—and a scandalous end. How could this happen to a such major player in the story of God’s people? The same way it happens to far too many Christians today…

It's Monday, June 30th, A.D. 2025. 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 South Korea detains 6 Americans sending Bibles into North Korea South Korean authorities detained six Americans today after they attempted to send 1,600 plastic bottles containing miniature Bibles into North Korea by sea, reports International Christian Concern. In Isaiah 55:11, God says, “My Word that goes out from My mouth: It will not return to Me empty, but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it.” According to the Gwanghwa Island police, the Americans are being investigated because they allegedly violated the law on disaster management. The Americans reportedly threw the bottles, which also included USB sticks, money, and rice, into the sea, hoping North Koreans would eventually find them washed up on their shore. The police did not disclose the contents of the USB sticks.   Christian missionaries and human rights groups have attempted to send plastic bottles by sea and balloons by air into North Korea. Sadly, South Korean President Lee Jae Myung, who was just elected June 4, 2025, has pledged to halt such campaigns, arguing that such items could provoke North Korea.   According to Open Doors, North Korea is the most dangerous country worldwide for Christians. Trump's Big, Beautiful Bill clears procedural vote The U.S. Senate advanced the latest version of President Trump's “One Big Beautiful Bill” in a procedural vote on June 28, clearing the way for floor debate on the substance of the sweeping megabill, reports The Epoch Times. This moves Republicans one step closer to delivering on key parts of President Donald Trump's second-term agenda. The bill advanced in a vote of 51 to 49, with enough Republican holdouts joining party leaders to avoid the need for Vice President J.D. Vance's tie-breaking vote and to push the measure forward despite lingering concerns about some of its provisions. Republican Senators Susan Collins of Maine and Josh Hawley of Missouri, two pivotal holdouts, said on June 28 that they would vote to advance the megabill, pointing to revisions unveiled by party leaders on June 27 that addressed some of their earlier objections. Hawley, who had previously objected to proposed Medicaid cuts, told reporters on June 28 that he would back not only the motion to proceed, but also final passage of the bill. He credited his decision to new language in the updated bill that delays implementation of changes to the federal cap on Medicaid provider taxes—a provision he said would ultimately bring more federal funding to Missouri's Medicaid program over the next four years. In an attempt to delay passage of the bill, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer of New York and his fellow Democrats required that the clerks read the entire 940-page bill out loud, which took 15 hours 55 minutes through yesterday afternoon, reports CBS. The chamber began up to 20 hours of debate on Sunday afternoon which you can watch through a special link in our transcript today at www.TheWorldview.com. Senate Majority Leader John Thune expects a final vote on the package sometime today. Two GOP defections on Trump's Big Beautiful Bill There were two Republicans who voted against advancing Trump's Big Beautiful Bill, reports The Hill.com. Senator Rand Paul of Kentucky, who opposes a provision to raise the debt limit by $5 trillion, and Senator Thom Tillis of North Carolina, who says the legislation would cost his state $38.9 billion in federal Medicaid funding. Three other Republicans, who had wavered, changed their minds.  Senator Ron Johnson of Wisconsin changed his “no” vote to “aye,” and holdout Senators Mike Lee of Utah, Rick Scott of Florida, and Cynthia Lummis of Wyoming also voted yes to advance the bill. The bill had suffered several significant setbacks in the days and hours before coming to the floor, at times appearing to be on shaky ground. Trump blasted Tillis on Truth Social, vowing to interview candidates to run against him in the upcoming senatorial primary. He said, “Looks like Senator Thom Tillis, as usual, wants to tell the Nation that he's giving them a 68% Tax Increase, as opposed to the Biggest Tax Cut in American History! “America wants Reduced Taxes, including NO TAX ON TIPS, NO TAX ON OVERTIME, AND NO TAX ON SOCIAL SECURITY, Interest Deductions on Cars, Border Security, a Strong Military, and a Bill which is GREAT for our Farmers, Manufacturers and Employment, in general. Thom Tillis is making a BIG MISTAKE for America, and the Wonderful People of North Carolina!” Just one day after drawing President Trump's ire for opposing the party's  sweeping domestic policy package, Senator Tillis surprisingly announced that he will not seek a third 6-year term in 2026, reports The Guardian. Trump's bill does defund Planned Parenthood President Trump's Big, Beautiful Bill still includes language to stop forced taxpayer funding of Planned Parenthood and Big Abortion for one year, reports LifeNews.com. The good news is that Planned Parenthood defunding is retained in the final version of the bill, but the bad news is that the 10 year funding ban has been scaled back to just one year. According to Planned Parenthood's latest annual fiscal report, the organization killed more than 400,000 babies through abortion in 2023 and 2024 and received nearly $800 million from taxpayers. Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America President Marjorie Dannenfelser said, “The One Big Beautiful Bill Act that stops forced taxpayer funding of the abortion industry has been retained in the Senate bill, as we were confident it would, though for one year. This is a huge win.” Jeremiah 1:5 says, “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart.” Call your two U.S. Senators ASAP on Monday at 202-224-3121 to urge them to retain the defunding of Planned Parenthood in the bill. That's 202-224-3121. Supreme Court curbs injunctions that blocked Trump's birthright citizenship plan Last Friday, the Supreme Court handed the Trump administration a major win by allowing it, for now, to take steps to implement its proposal to end automatic birthright citizenship for the children of illegal immigrants, reports NBC News.  TRUMP: “That was meant for the babies of slaves. It wasn't meant for people trying to scam the system.” In a 6-3 vote, the court granted the request by the Trump administration to narrow the scope of nationwide injunctions imposed by judges so that they only apply to the states, groups and individuals that sued. TRUMP: “This was a big decision, an amazing decision!”  The White House said, “Since the moment President Trump took office, low-level activist judges have been exploiting their positions to kneecap the agenda on which he was overwhelmingly elected. Of the 40 nationwide injunctions filed against President Trump's executive actions in his second term, 35 of them came from just five far-left jurisdictions: California, Maryland, Massachusetts, Washington, and the District of Columbia. “Now, the Trump administration can promptly proceed with critical action to save the country — like ending birthright citizenship, ceasing sanctuary city funding, suspending refugee resettlement, freezing unnecessary funding, and stopping taxpayers from funding transgender surgeries.” Appearing on Fox News Channel, Jonathan Turley, a George Washington University Law School Professor, explained that this is a major victory for Trump. TURLEY: “This is a huge win for him. It does negate what has been a stumbling block. These judges have been throwing sand in the works in many of these policies, from immigration to birthright citizenship to [Department of Government Efficiency] cuts -- that will presumably now be tamped down. If these judges try to circumvent that, I think they'll find an even more expedited path to a Supreme Court that's going to continue to reverse some of these, lift some of these injunctions.” President Trump agreed wholeheartedly. TRUMP: “We've seen a handful of radical left judges effectively try to overrule the rightful powers of the president, to stop the American people from getting the policies that they voted for in record numbers.” Professor Turley was shocked by the forcefulness of Amy Coney Barrett's 96-page majority opinion, which took on leftist Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, the author of the 20-page dissent.  Barrett wrote, “We will not dwell on Justice Jackson's argument, which is at odds with more than two centuries' worth of precedent, not to mention the Constitution itself. … Justice Jackson decries an imperial Executive while embracing an imperial Judiciary.” TURLEY: “The opinion was really radioactive in this takedown of Justice Jackson. I've been covering the Supreme Court for decades. It's rare to see that type of exchange. The important thing to remember is that Justice Barrett delivered what was essentially a pile driver. “But she didn't do it alone. I mean, her colleagues signed on to this. And I think it's very clear that the majority is getting tired of the histrionics and the hysteria that seems to be growing a bit on the left side of the court.” Turley cited two examples of the hyperbolic rhetoric of the three leftist judges on the Supreme Court. TURLEY: “It's the hyperbole that's coming out of the dissent that is so notable. Justice [Sonia] Sotomayor, in that Maryland case, said that giving parents the ability to opt out of a few [pro-homosexual/transgender] lessons was going to, ‘create chaos and probably end public education.' Justice [Ketanji Brown] Jackson saying this could very well essentially be the ‘death of democracy.' It's the type of hyperbole that most justices have avoided.” Even CNN's Michael Smerconish said that Trump is meeting and surpassing expectations. SMERCONISH: “By any objective measure, President Trump has his opponents on the run.” 30 Worldview listeners gave $8,873 to fund our annual budget And finally, toward our $123,500 goal by today, June 30, to fully fund The Worldview's annual budget for our 6-member team, 30 listeners stepped up to the plate.

A powerful and provocative look into Haggai’s amazing prophecy to God’s downtrodden—yet neglectful—people. You will be blessed.

A literal Resurrection of the Dead was taught throughout the Bible—especially by Jesus and Paul. It was the ‘blessed hope' of every believing Christian in the early church—but not so much by churches today. What changed? What are the consequences? And why should we care? A powerful provocation to remember where we're going…

The finish line of Paul's entire life—that for which he sacrificed everything—country, kindred, credentials, honor, comfort, liberty and life itself—was that he might know Christ. This was the death knell of religion and ‘churchianity’; of self-centeredness and pride. It’s why we are Christians…

Ready for a refreshing take on Shavuos celebration? Forget the overwhelming details and embrace a simpler approach to this profound holiday. The cornerstone of a meaningful Shavuos lies in embracing Simchas Yontif—holiday joy—as a biblical commandment according to the Shagas Aryeh. This means practical, tangible actions: giving your spouse the credit card for new clothes, buying children their favorite candies and toys, and preparing delicious meals featuring quality meats. Whether you choose a modest $20 bottle of Cordova or splurge on a $50 Shiloh Cabernet Secret Reserve, the goal is straightforward happiness, not perfection.Preparation transforms the Shavuos experience. Men should visit the mikvah, get haircuts, and ensure the home is ready. Women play a crucial role in creating a joyful atmosphere where everyone feels prepared for the holiday. Since we no longer have the Temple, approach your synagogue with reverence and genuine enthusiasm, particularly during the Shema, internalizing that Torah gives our lives meaning and purpose. The night of learning should be approached with authenticity—study the Mishneh Brura, explore the Gemara, take that 3 AM cholent break, then return with renewed focus to understand what God truly wants from you.What makes Shavuos extraordinary is how it elevates us from ordinary existence. The second day offers a unique opportunity to disconnect from distractions and reconnect with what truly matters. Without this holiday, "we would just all be Joe Schmoes," but Shavuos makes us special, providing the spiritual energy needed to renew our commitment to "Na'aseh v'Nishma" as we enter summer. Experience the joy of simplicity this Shavuos and discover how authentic celebration can transform your connection to tradition, family, and faith. How will you embrace the essence of Shavuos this year?Support the showJoin The Motivation Congregation WhatsApp community for daily motivational Torah content!Elevate your impact by becoming a TMC Emerald Donor!

Pastor Jeremy continues his in-depth study through Zephaniah—a short book by one of the most influential Old Testament prophets. Check it out…!

When Paul sang the praises of Timothy and Epaphroditus to the Philippians, he also defined what it meant to be a Christian. It became their resumes. Ours, too…

This week we sit down with our oldest (and one of our most inspiring) members — Carmen Cordova, who's still crushing workouts at 77 years young .Carmen shares her journey growing up playing sports, living in Ecuador, discovering CrossFit back in 2013, and training with Kate even before that. She still deadlifts over 200lbs, travels the world, and competes in the CrossFit Open every year.You're not going to want to miss this one — a true testament to what's possible with consistency, community, and a love for training.

As a podcast host, I have had the profound honor of listening to and documenting the powerful stories of community members who have dedicated their lives to advocating for justice. Tina Cordova, the Co-Founder of the Tularosa Basin Downwinders Consortium, is a tireless advocate who has brought attention to the long-ignored consequences of nuclear testing in New Mexico. Her work illuminates the untold experiences of multiple communities who, in the aftermath of the Trinity Bomb detonation and subsequent nuclear tests conducted in New Mexico between 1945 and 1962, were unknowingly exposed to radiation. This exposure, carried by the wind and lingering in the environment for generations, has inflicted devastating deaths and long-term health consequences on countless families. Despite the well-documented link between radiation exposure and life-threatening illnesses such as cancer, the communities most affected—those who have suffered immeasurable loss and continue to endure the painful repercussions—have yet to receive the full recognition and justice they deserve. Their stories remain largely absent from mainstream historical narratives, making it all the more crucial to amplify their voices and demand accountability. We want to honor all who have lost their lives and those who keep their stories alive. Gracias Tina Cordova and the Tularosa Basin Downwinders Consortium. #Downwinders #JusticeForDownwinders #NuclearTestingImpact #RadiationExposure #TrinityTest #EnvironmentalJustice #HealthJustice #ForgottenVictims #TularosaBasin #RECAAmendment

Zephaniah was the only prophet descended from royalty—and it made him the perfect messenger to the king of Judah and God’s errant people. Big insights from Pastor Jeremy…

Paul was about to send two friends on a dangerous journey to Philippi. Not surprising. What qualified these men to be his messengers? Surprising! And their qualities challenge all Christians everywhere. A sermon that digs up a few hidden gems…

Send us a textIn this episode I discuss why people blame at the end or relationships, why we sometimes hide from responsibility, how we use anger as a shield, and why eating the blame can help you move forward.https://arammu.com/ Support the showhttps://www.risingphoenixpodcast.com

The prophet Samuel learned early on about needing for an open heart for whatever the Lord revealed—and this time it would make the ears of all Israel tingle…

The prophet Habakkuk uttered some of the most amazing prophecies in the Old Testament, and in only three chapters—and then his little book became a glorious musical…

Paul wanted more than assurances that his ministry to the Philippians counted for something in Heaven—he hoped to boast about it, too. This begs a powerful question: how does God measure our successes and failures in eternity? The answer is bigger than the question…

Nahum was the prophet God chose to seal the doom of the Assyrians. They repented because of Jonah, but hundred years later they returned to their grotesque ways. It serves well as God’s warning from the distant past to the people of a decadent future…

Pastor Jeremy plunges into the prophecies of Nahum—which continues where Jonah left off…!
