It's Wednesday, July 16th, 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 Jonathan Clark Christians losing property rights in India, Nepal and Pakistan International Christian Concern reports Christians are losing their property rights and access to land in South Asian nations like India, Nepal, and Pakistan. In particular, India's second-most populous state of Maharashtra plans to demolish hundreds of church buildings within six months. Officials claim the structures are unauthorized, and many of them are in tribal areas.  The government also plans to enact an anti-conversion law. Such laws are often used to target Christians in the country. Currently, 12 of 28 states in India have anti-conversion laws. South Asian nations like India are ranked on the Open Doors' World Watch List as some of the most difficult places to live as a Christian.  World population growth slowing down Pew Research recently released world population projections for the next 75 years. The global population more than tripled over the last 75 years from 2.5 to 8.2 billion people. However, population growth is expected to slow down, only reaching 10.2 billion by 2100. Currently, the most populous countries in the world are China, India, and the U.S. China's population is expected to shrink by more than half over the next 75 years, while the U.S. and India are expected to grow slightly.    Global population growth is projected to primarily come from nations in Africa like Nigeria, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Ethiopia, and Tanzania.  10th anniversary of undercover videos exposing Planned Parenthood This week marks 10 years since the Center for Medical Progress released their first undercover videos exposing Planned Parenthood. Executives for the abortion giant were caught discussing how they sold the body parts of murdered babies. The undercover investigation has contributed to efforts for defunding Planned Parenthood. Troy Newman, the president of Operation Rescue, served as a founding member on the board of the Center for Medical Progress. He said, “I am honored to have been a part of this historic investigation, even though it came at great personal cost to those of us involved in revealing the horrific truth about the illicit trade in aborted baby parts. Today's Planned Parenthood is vastly different from what it was in 2015. It is a weaker organization with waning political influence that is now collapsing from within.” Proverbs 6:17 says that among the seven things God hates are “haughty eyes, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood.” Trump threatens Russia with tariff to get peace deal with Ukraine In a public meeting with NATO General Secretary Mark Rutte at the White House, U.S. President Donald Trump threatened severe tariffs on Monday if Russia doesn't come to a peace deal with Ukraine in the next 50 days. TRUMP: “One of the reasons that you're here today is to hear that we are very unhappy, I am, with Russia. We're very, very unhappy with them. And we're going to be doing very severe tariffs if we don't have a deal in 50 days, tariffs at about 100%. You'd call them secondary tariffs. You know what that means.” (His comments occur at the :45 mark of this video) Trump also said the United States will sell top-of-the-line weapons to countries in the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. In turn, NATO countries would then be able to provide such weapons like the Patriot air defense system to Ukraine.    Trump wants Federal Reserve to lower interest to save trillion dollars The U.S. consumer price index rose by 0.3% last month. That put the 12-month inflation rate at 2.7%. Prices have been generally decreasing over the last year, but the inflation rate is still above the Federal Reserve's target of 2%.  Trump responded to the news by calling on the Fed to lower interest rates by three points. He said this would save an estimated one trillion dollars on debt payments.  Bible readers most likely to volunteer in community And finally, the American Bible Society released the fourth chapter of its State of the Bible USA 2025 report. The chapter evaluated activities that promote wellbeing like physical exercise, spending time with a friend, volunteering in the community, meditation, and praying to God. The study found people who engage the most with the Bible are also the most likely to engage in those activities, especially volunteering in the community.  Such activities were also associated with higher levels of hope and lower levels of stress, anxiety, and loneliness. However, people who attend church regularly experienced even better results in those areas. 1 Timothy 4:8 says, “For bodily exercise profits a little, but godliness is profitable for all things, having promise of the life that now is and of that which is to come.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Wednesday, July 16th, in the year of our Lord 2025. Follow us on X or subscribe for free by Spotify, Amazon Music, or by iTunes or email to our unique Christian newscast at www.TheWorldview.com.  Plus, you can get the Generations app through Google Play or The App Store.

In this Bible study we discover the meaning behind the famous verse that admonishes us to be separate and set apart. We look at the old testament prophecy and see how the Apostle Paul reveals a truth hidden in plain sight. We see a new role emerge for us and we better understand the exhortation of the prophets against taking on practices that separate us from the heart of God. Now we see the land for which to we have been called to a better inheritance.Please consider supporting the vulnerable people of the Democratic Republic of the Congo.God bless you!

In this Bible study we will look at the practical ways we overcome fear. We will seek to understand the ways that God has provided for us as spirits in human bodies.As we examine the concept of fear and it's attendant emotions we will better see how God has called us to have courage and to comfort us through deliberate trust in Him and finding ways to accomplish the purpose of God without being stopped by the spectre of fear, anxiety, apprehension and even doubt.Please consider supporting the vulnerable people of the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

Clint Leavitt believes that every great story we love is actually pointing us toward something bigger. As pastor of Midtown Presbyterian Church in Phoenix, he's discovered how fiction can serve as shadows of the deepest reality, and how narratives can pierce through our purely rational defences to reach the heart. His approach to ministry focuses on creating space for sceptics, deconstructors, and question-askers, building trust through shared stories and artistic mediums rather than demanding immediate belief.   In this conversation, Clint shares his journey from selling flip books on elementary school playgrounds to becoming a Tomatometer-approved film critic, pastor, and author. His latest book, "Cockroaches, God, Death, and Mangos," tells the remarkable refugee story of his friend from the Democratic Republic of Congo, one of the bloodiest conflicts in world history since World War II. Through this friendship, Clint discovered how western colonization continues to impact current refugee crises, and how the church is called to expand its vision beyond national borders to embrace God's heart for the marginalised and displaced.   WEBLINKS The Leavitt Lens Clint on X Midtown Presbyterian Church on Facebook Midtown Presbyterian Church on Instagram   Midtown Presbyterian Church on Youtube

FAN MAIL--We would love YOUR feedback--Send us a Text Message|Donald Trump's second term is rewriting presidential history with a breathtaking sprint of achievements that may signal the dismantling of FDR's nearly century-old New Deal coalition. In just 165 days, Trump has accumulated foreign policy triumphs, legal victories, and domestic policy wins at a pace unseen in modern presidential history.The centerpiece of this remarkable run is the "Big Beautiful Bill" signed into law on Independence Day - a comprehensive piece of legislation that doubles down on supply-side economics in ways not seen since Reagan's presidency. Far from the conventional wisdom that predicted economic doom from tariffs, the economy shows declining inflation, four-year low gas prices, stable unemployment, and record stock market highs.Trump's foreign policy achievements have been equally impressive. Operation Midnight Hammer struck Iran's nuclear facilities, restoring American deterrence and credibility on the world stage. NATO allies have committed to unprecedented 5% of GDP defense spending after years of American pressure. A US-brokered peace agreement between the Democratic Republic of Congo and Rwanda demonstrates Trump's expanding diplomatic influence while securing critical mineral rights.The Supreme Court's ruling in Trump v. Cato Inc. represents a structural change in the balance of power between the judiciary and executive branch by restricting nationwide injunctions - judicial tools that had been weaponized against Trump's agenda. Meanwhile, immigration enforcement has achieved what many thought impossible: a 93% reduction in border encounters compared to the previous year, with zero releases into the United States for consecutive months.What we're witnessing may be more than just a successful presidential term - it could be the beginning of a new American golden age predicated on economic growth, renewed global leadership, and the rolling back of the administrative state. The next three years will determine whether Trump can maintain this momentum and cement his place as one of the most consequential presidents in American history, alongside Washington and Lincoln.Explore the full story of Trump's remarkable comeback in Newt Gingrich's "Trump's Triumph: America's Greatest Comeback" and follow our podcast for continuing analysis of this pivotal moment in American politics.Key Points from the Episode:• Trump's Big Beautiful Bill signed into law on July 4th represents a doubling down on supply-side economics• Operation Midnight Hammer successfully targeted Iran's nuclear facilities, restoring American deterrence• Supreme Court ruling in Trump v. CASA Inc. restricts nationwide injunctions that previously hampered executive action• NATO allies committed to raising defense spending to 5% of GDP following Trump's pressure• Border encounters down 93%, with zero illegal immigrants released into the US for consecutive months• Economic indicators defying predictions: declining inflation, four-year low gas prices, stable 4% unemployment• Trump's success potentially signals the end of FDR's New Deal coalition after nearly a century• Foreign policy victories include US-brokered peace agreement between Democratic Republic of Congo and Rwanda• Successful tariff negotiations with China and Canada demonstrating America's economic leverageOther resources: Want to leave a review?

TL;DR: I believe we are a Democratic Republic. We have symptoms of both forms of government in all areas of governance, to varying degrees nonetheless.REPRESENT | Medium - Greg Blonder

(Recorded October 4, 2021) Journalist Nicolas Niarchos may be the grandson of a famous Greek shipping magnate, but he can be found covering challenging and dangerous subjects like conflicts, minerals, and migration in Europe, the Middle East and Africa. He is a reporter at large at The New Yorker and a contributor to TIME, The Guardian, The New York Times and The Nation. Niarchos speaks with Alec about his upbringing, his journalistic path and his reporting in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, which exposes exploitation in the cobalt mining industry - and the importance of this crucial element in our global supply chain.

The world filled with portable devices and electric cars that we've come to rely upon is mostly powered with lithium-ion batteries. Most of the lithium-ion batteries we use require cobalt. Most of the cobalt that's being used in these batteries is extracted from the ground in the Democratic Republic of Congo, and much of it is sent to China to be processed for the global market. The Blood Diamond initiative in the 1990s sought to raise awareness about, and eventually create systems to mitigate the use here in the U.S. of, so-called ‘blood' or ‘conflict' diamonds that were being mined in places like Sierra Leone and the DRC where workers were being mistreated and profits were fueling war. Our guest was instrumental in the Blood Diamonds initiative, and is now leading the new Blood Battery Campaign that's modelled after it.

6.27.2025 #RolandMartinUnfiltered: SCOTUS Birthright Ruling, Crockett vs MAGA, Moral Monday preview, Trump disrespects African reporter The Supreme Court has sided with the Trump administration in the birthright citizenship case, which limits the ability of federal judges to impose nationwide injunctions.

Dr. William Barber will provide a preview of the Moral Monday March to the nation's capital, where protesters will gather against Trump's "Big Beautiful Bill." After top diplomats from Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of Congo signed a peace agreement to address the ongoing war in eastern Congo, and in an underhanded slight, Trump tells an African reporter, "now you can go back to where you belong." We'll show you how this situation unfolded. And the R&B community mourns the loss of another legend.

Welcome back to United States of Sweat presented by Choose the Hard Way where politicians and policymakers join us to share stories about fitness, health and the sports they love playing.  In 2008 Tom Perriello won the election to represent Virginia's 5th Congressional district by fewer than 1,000 votes. He later ran for governor of Virginia and he also served as Special Envoy for Sudan and Special Envoy for the Democratic Republic of the Congo & Great Lakes among many other acts of service.  Marathons, 10-day silent retreats, Spartan Races & what happens when you're forced to operate on four hours of sleep a night for a year while making 62 country visits to end a humanitarian crisis--this episode goes deep.  Tom was also the executive director of Open Society Foundations where he met my co-host Jonathan Kaplan.  Jonathan runs Essington Road Strategies, helping organizations navigate Washington, shape policy and manage reputational risk. He also writes Riding With, a newsletter and podcast exploring the intersection of pro cycling, media, business and politics. Find that at ridingwithkaplan.substack.com. The number one way to support Choose the Hard Way is to become a paid subscriber to my substack, alwaysthehardway.substack.com. That's where I share my reflections on these interviews and write about engaged mindfulness, bikes and life.  For senior execs, pro athletes, and political leaders, podcasts aren't optional anymore. They're mission-critical. At One Real Voice, I coach leaders 1:1 to help them thrive as storytellers and stand out in the long-form podcast conversations where real influence is built.  When you're ready to be great, DM me @hardwaypod or email hello@onerealvoice.com.
