In this episode, Pratiqk Jaani, author of Drashti: The Perception and creator of the Drashti Method, shares the life-changing realization that transformed the way he experiences success, relationships, and everyday life.

And because of the conditioning and because of the fears, people spend their life hoping that one day they will do it, and that day never comes." - Pratiqk Jaani "No matter how much money you earn, you are always going to chase more because you're not really wanting more money. What you really want is to feel that fulfillment. To feel completeness." - Pratiqk Jaani "If you want to receive something, you have to keep your arms open or your hands open. If you make a fist, you can't receive it." - Pratiqk Jaani CONNECT WITH PRATIQK JAANI Website: https://www.pratiqkjaani.com Drashti Method: https://www.drashtimethod.com LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/pratiqkjaani Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/janipratikk   Thanks for tuning in!

Kami opens up about the stories she believed about herself, why humor became her greatest defense, and how learning to tell the truth changed the way she leads, teaches, and builds community. She also shares how that personal transformation continues to impact the women she mentors, creating ripple effects that extend far beyond business.   [00:06:30] Helping Women Believe in Themselves Many of her students are beginning second or third careers later in life.

It's Thursday, July 2nd, 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 Jonathan Clark and Adam McManus British might criminalize speaking Biblical truth on sexuality The United Kingdom may criminalize pastors and parents for sharing Biblical truth on sexuality.  The country's Labour government published the Conversion Practices Draft Bill last week. The measure would ban practices aimed at changing a person's so-called sexual orientation or gender identity.  Andrea Williams with Christian Concern said, “This bill opens the door to the persecution of parents and pastors through false accusations of abusive conversion practices.” British Parliament is “the gayest” with 75 sexually perverted In other United Kingdom  news, outgoing Prime Minister Kier Starmer, an atheist, signaled his support for sexually perverted lifestyles.  Listen to his recent comments. STARMER: “I'm really proud that we've got the gayest parliament. I don't think, anywhere in the world. I don't think there's any parliament that is gayer than this parliament. That is fantastic. “The HIV Action Plan is really good to end transmissions by 2030. We've legislated to equalize all existing strands of hate crime and make them aggravated offenses, and again, the announcement through Liv last week, a full trans-inclusive ban on abusive conversion practice. We put an end to those practices.” Indeed, out of the 650 members of British Parliament, 75 of them have sinfully embraced sexual perversion. Isaiah 5:20-23 says, “Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil . . . Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes. … Who justify the wicked for a bribe, and take away justice from the righteous man!” Starmer announced his resignation last month. His Labour Party had just experienced major election losses in May.  Canadian Anglicans offer “liturgy” to bless the euthanized Speaking of calling evil good, the Anglican Church of Canada announced a Christian liturgy to bless people being euthanized. The denomination said it would not comment on the morality of assisted suicide. Instead, it authorized clergy to bless people who have chosen it.  Canada is considered the euthanasia capital of the world. Tragically, over 100,000 people have died under the country's assisted suicide program. The death push began 10 years ago on June 17, 2016.  Planned Parenthood shuts down Iowa City abortion mill Here in the United States, Planned Parenthood will shut down its location in Iowa City, Iowa this month.  The abortion giant closed four other facilities in Iowa last year. This leaves only one location in the state.  Iowa banned most abortions after six weeks of pregnancy in 2024. And yesterday, a law went into effect that bans mail-order abortions in the Hawkeye State.  78% of Americans favor public school student-led prayer groups A new Pew Research survey found that Americans support religious expression in public schools. Seventy-eight percent of U.S. adults favor allowing students to voluntarily pray in student-led groups. Fifty-seven percent favor allowing coaches to lead their teams in prayer. Fifty percent favor displaying the Ten Commandments in classrooms. And 46 percent favor allowing teachers to lead their classes in prayer.  Presbyterian Church in America voted against female deacons The second-largest Presbyterian denomination in the U.S. recently voted against female deacons. Last month, the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church in America met in Louisville, Kentucky. The church body voted resoundingly against a proposal to allow women to serve as ordained deacons. This reaffirmed the denomination's constitutional documents. Those documents state, “The ordinary and perpetual classes of office in the Church are elders and deacons. ... The office of deacon is not one of rule, but rather of service both to the physical and spiritual needs of the people. In accord with Scripture, these offices are open to men only.”  Chick-fil-A 92-year-old employee encourages customers A Chick-fil-A employee in his 90s is making headlines for his work ethic and his Christian faith. Gilbert Martin, affectionately known as “Mr. Gil,” has been working at a Chick-fil-A in Wilmington, North Carolina for the last six years. Mr. Gil just turned 92. But that doesn't stop him from working throughout the week. He not only keeps the restaurant clean, he takes personal care of the people who walk in. Mr. Gil told WECT-6 that God has allowed him to be an encourager to people. Listen.  MARTIN: “I get a lot of people that are coming in, just going to the doctor, or just been to the doctor, and got bad news, and so forth, and I'm able to be encourager. The Lord gave me that. I don't plan to go anywhere else..” Romans 15:2 says, “Let each of us please his neighbor for his good, to build him up.” Looking for feedback from Worldview listeners I was surprised not to receive a single email yesterday about what listeners, like you, enjoy about this newscast.  What makes this newscast different to you from other newscasts which you've heard?  Do you listen to it while you exercise, drive in the car, or at home with the family as part of your morning routine?

When Barnabas arrived in Antioch, he saw the grace of God and rejoiced. Rather than questioning what God was doing among Gentile believers, he encouraged them, discipled them, and helped strengthen the growing church. This episode reminds us that healthy churches celebrate God's work, train new believers, and care deeply for the family of faith.

Nehemiah has a heart to rebuild the walls of Jerusalem after a long period of exile. But what drove Nehemiah to take on this monumental task, and how did he overcome the obstacles that stood in his way? In this episode, we explore the early days of Nehemiah's journey, from his conversation with King Artaxerxes to his initial inspection of the walls of Jerusalem. We learn about the challenges he faced, including the ridicule and opposition from neighboring governors who didn't want to see the Israelites succeed. Despite these obstacles, Nehemiah remained steadfast in his faith and determination, and his story serves as a powerful reminder of the importance of trusting in God's plan. Jenn shares some fascinating historical context that sheds light on why King Artaxerxes might have allowed the walls to be built, despite Israel's reputation for rebelling against kings. If you're looking for a story of faith, perseverance, and courage, you won't want to miss this episode.

The leaders of 12 yeshivas have signed a letter saying that they will no longer send their seminary students to join tank units because of an army plan to integrate women into the Armored Corps. The yeshivas are all part of the hesder program, which allows Orthodox soldiers to combine military service with periods spent studying in yeshiva. Separately, the Knesset passed in its preliminary reading on Wednesday a bill that seeks to enshrine Torah study in Basic Law, as part of a proposal pushed by ultra-Orthodox parties that seeks to encourage draft evasion and change the status of Yeshiva students who do not serve, enabling them to continue receiving state benefits. KAN's Mark Weiss spoke about these issues with Rabbi David Stav, founder and head of the Tsohar movement, an organization which aims to make Jewish life accessible to secular Israelis.

The Concept of Emotional Disorder (Oxford University Press, 2025) is a philosophical and academic exploration of how society determines whether emotions are considered normal human experiences or emotional disorders. The book examines the concern that some ordinary emotions may be “over pathologized,” meaning they are increasingly treated as medical or psychiatric problems rather than understandable human responses to life circumstances. Drawing from philosophy, psychology, and mental health theory, Dr. Ayob explores how people evaluate emotions and how those evaluations shape our understanding of emotional disorder. In the author's framing, the concept of “emotional disorder” is not simple or straightforward. It is built upon many smaller judgments we make about emotions, including whether emotions are reasonable, excessive, disruptive, socially acceptable, or connected to a person's lived experience. Key Ideas: The book examines how emotional disorders are conceptually defined. Explores whether modern society sometimes medicalizes ordinary emotional experiences too quickly. Lived experience, personal meaning, and context all influence how emotions are understood. Encourages deeper reflection about the assumptions society makes when labeling emotions as healthy or pathological. Emotional awareness and reasoning are connected. Understanding our emotions can help us better understand ourselves and the world around us. One of the strongest ideas from the discussion was that human beings process emotions through their own lived reality and personal experiences. What may feel distressing or emotionally overwhelming does not automatically mean it is a disorder. Sometimes emotional pain is part of being human, especially during difficult life experiences, loss, uncertainty, stress, or change. The conversation also emphasized the importance of emotional self-awareness and reasoning. Being informed about our emotions may help us better understand our reactions rather than immediately viewing every difficult emotional experience through a strictly medical lens.
