What in the World? That phrase has become the title of an ongoing series on Crosstalk noting some of the more outlandish or shocking things taking place in society and the world. Many of these stories don't get coverage from mainstream media, so settle-in as Jim takes you through these surprising news items. Here's a sample from the broadcast: Chancellor Sam Hawgood of the University of California San Francisco struggles to answer whether a non-biological woman has ever had a baby. The League of Women Voters believes that keeping men who claim to be women out of women's sports is an egregious example of sex discrimination. A transgender person born as a male and identifying as a female fled the U.S. for the Netherlands, apparently feeling there would be greater freedom there. This same person complained about being harassed by Muslim migrants in this Dutch country. On a leftist podcast, Francesca Hong, who's running for governor in Wisconsin, branded hospitals that won't provide gender affirming care for children as, "cowardly". Christ Episcopal Church in Dayton, Ohio, used food dye to turn their communion bread in the colors of the LGBTQ rainbow. The Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation released a report bemoaning the decline of LGBTQ characters in film. Texas State Representative James Talarico, the Council on American/Islamic Relations, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz and more also made the cut as part of this selection of eye-opening news stories.

Chuck, Chernoff, Cellini & Dimino talked World Cup Final, Braves, SEC Media Days and Jim Powell's strange social media comments. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The sermon emphasizes the urgent necessity of immediate obedience to the Great Commission by analyzing the parable of the vineyard in Matthew chapter 21. It argues that delayed obedience is not true obedience, using the command to work 'today' as a central theological point for evangelism. The speaker highlights the eternal consequences of neglecting this task, asserting that those who do not hear the gospel remain lost regardless of their moral efforts or religious systems. By referencing passages such as John 4:35 and Ezekiel 3, the message underscores the believer's responsibility to warn others before it is too late. Ultimately, the text calls listeners to action, reminding them that salvation comes only through faith in Christ's righteousness, not personal merit.

Dalton led listeners through numerous news stories from the past week, highlighted by plenty of audio clips. Here's a sample of what was covered: --A powerful 7.3 magnitude earthquake struck near the coast of Mexico's southernmost state, triggering a tsunami warning. --Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt answered why some would seek to discredit President Trump's Thursday speech on election integrity even before it aired. --During President Trump's speech on Thursday, he alleged China committed election meddling with proof at whitehouse.gov. --China worked to ensure Trump would not be re-elected during the 2020 election cycle. --President Trump claimed that voters were lied to concerning the security of our election infrastructure. --President Trump mentioned a fourth set of documents, indicating that even when significant fraud has been detected, it's been covered-up. A 2020 incident in Muskegon, Michigan, was given. --Secretary of Homeland Security Markwayne Mullin held a press conference asking the question as to why some TV networks chose not to carry the president's speech. What are they trying to cover up? --The medical examiner for the District of Columbia released preliminary findings this week on the death of Senator Lindsey Graham of South Carolina. --Weeks of guessing games surrounding Senator Mitch McConnell's health came to an end when he stepped forward with a detailed account of the fall that hospitalized him last month.

In this episode of Crosstalk, hosts Charles and Daniel explore the boundaries of human thought from a biblical perspective. They discuss how sound thinking must begin with recognizing God as Creator and Controller, and remain submitted to Scripture. Using examples like Adam and Eve and the Tower of Babel, they illustrate the consequences of thinking outside God's boundaries. They emphasize that sound thinking is rooted in God's goodness, greatness, and glory, ultimately leading to salvation and true satisfaction. Charles shares a personal testimony about finding assurance in Christ rather than in personal experience.

The funeral procession for the former Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has been underway today. Fox News reported that as the procession approached the Shrine of Imam Reza today, mourners carried revolutionary placards and a massive banner threatening President Donald Trump. Khamenei's body was carried by a slow moving drunk as mourners chanted revenge slogans against Pres. Trump while placards reading "Kill Trump" appeared in the crowd. In violation of the ceasefire, Iran attacked ships travelling through the Strait of Hormuz while the U.S. has launched retaliatory strikes against Iran. Pres. Trump has called the Iranian negotiators "liars" and has said the ceasefire is dead. Joining us with the latest developments and analysis today is Shahram Hadian. Shahram is Founder of Truth in Love Ministry. He is a Christian Pastor and a former Muslim. Shahram was born in Iran and came to America in 1978 to escape an oppressive Islamic regime and committed his life to Jesus Christ in 1999. He has an extensive background not only as a Pastor, but also as a former police officer, teacher, coach and servant leader in his community.

Glenna Marshall is a Pastor's wife and mother of two sons. She's the author of: The Promise of His Presence, Everyday Faithfulness, and other books. She appeared on Crosstalk to discuss her newest release: "Praying in Pain: How to Know You're Heard When You Haven't Been Healed." Have you ever gone to bed at night dreading the next multiple hours where sleep eludes you due to pain? Perhaps this isn't a single night but night after night. You try the usual things, shifting your position in bed multiple times, trying different pillow positions, perhaps using some sort of over-the-counter pain-reliever, perhaps applying heat or cold, or moving from your bed to the couch to the recliner and then back to your bed again with no lasting relief. Glenna writes, "I've spent many nights treading water in an ocean of pain. And yet, I can think of no other place or time when God has most faithfully met me in the dark. In the night. In the crucible of my deepest and hardest physical suffering. I have learned that though it feels impossibly hard to pray in the grip of crushing pain, prayer is how we survive it. It's how we endure." What about when your pain is so great you cannot pray? Is it normal to feel like God is ignoring us when we're in pain? What about those who say prayer for pain is merely complaining to God? What help can the Psalms bring to such situations? What part does gratitude play when suffering? These are just a number of questions Glenna answers as she explains, from experience, how to handle pain from a biblical perspective.

Twila Brase is President and Co-founder of Citizens' Council for Health Freedom, a national patient-centered, privacy-focused, free-market policy organization to support health care choices, individualized patient care and medical and genetic privacy. Twila is a certified public health nurse, and author of the eight-time award-winning book Big Brother in the Exam Room: The Dangerous Truth About Electronic Health Records. She is the speaker on the daily Health Freedom Minute heard on stations across the nation. There was an article in the BizTimes which covers Milwaukee Business news. It was dealing with the springing up of data centers all over the country. Here's how the article began, "Every time you ask an AI assistant a question, stream a video, transfer money, or pull up a patient's medical record, something physical happens. Somewhere in a building full of servers and cooling systems and fiber cables and backup generators, a machine processes that request. That building is a data center. And right now, the United States does not have nearly enough of them." We've done multiple programs on these AI data centers and have told you that virtually your every social media post, medical records, financial records, emails etc are all contained in these data centers. But are you aware that AI has also entered the medical exam room with recording devices that are capturing your visit including what you believe to be a very private conversation with your doctor?

Our nation has just come through a celebration weekend. There was the Great American State Fair, parades, speeches, military flyovers, re-enactments, and fireworks displays which surpassed all previous 4th of July celebrations. All of this was done in celebration of 250 years of Independence. Now let's step back and take a look at the opening sentence to the Preamble of the Declaration of Independence. "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness." Tragically, while we have crossed this 250th anniversary celebration, there are many babies in the womb who are being denied the right to their life, their liberty and their pursuit of happiness. Their lives are being snatched away by the hands of the abortionist, by the hands of a mother popping abortion pills into her system, or of a rapist or pedophile trying to destroy the evidence of their actions. So while we have just celebrated freedom, who's concerned about the freedom of a child conceived in the womb? Rev. James Harden answers this question as he comments on the restoration of funding for Planned Parenthood that had been pulled from the One, Big, Beautiful Bill. Additionally, he discusses fabricated rights vs. unalienable rights, a lawsuit against CompassCare Pregnancy Services, drinking water concerns due to abortion drugs, and much more, including comments from listeners.

If you have ever put up a building, you know the importance of a good foundation. A faulty foundation is going to lead to multiple problems and even to the demise or collapse of a building. Our guest has written that a subtle shift compromises the integrity of the entire structure. These subtle shifts are impacting our nation, the church, the home and this generation. Psalm 11:3 says, "If the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous do?" In these critical times upon us, we're going to be taking a look at the need of our nation. But we're not going to stop there, because we also will be taking a look at the need of the church and the need of this generation. Dr. Scott Pauley is a full-time evangelist with a passion for preaching the Gospel and a burden to see this generation reached for Christ. He leads a ministry named "Enjoying the Journey" which is engaged in evangelizing the lost, equipping believers and encouraging Pastors and Churches. He is the author of Revival Praying, New Testament Marriage and a devotional commentary on the Psalms and he joins us on this edition of Crosstalk! More Information: enjoyingthejourney.org
