Klimattoppmötet Cop30 går mot sitt slut i Brasilien. Redan nu är det bestämt att Etiopien kommer att arrangera det om två år. Vad innebär det för konflikten mellan Etiopien och Eritrea? Vilka lärdomar finns från Cop29 i Azerbajdzjan? Rasmus Canbäck resonerar kring att klimattoppmöten kan bidra till stabilitet mellan stater, men öka turbulensen inrikes. Brit Stakston har modererat ett seminarium om "fact checking", eller verifiering som det numera talas om. Hur var faktakollarnas guru Glenn Kessler i verkligheten? Martin Schibbye fortsätter gå till Tingsrätten varje dag och tog med sig intrycken från Keith Hill, en av Lundintopparna.

Send us your feedback — we're listeningPsalm 23:4 — Christ With the Persecuted: Courage in the Dark Valley “Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.” — Psalm 23:4 Recorded live here in London, England with Reverend Ben Cooper. The persecuted church walks through valleys the world rarely sees — yet Christ walks with them. Psalm 23:4 is one of the most searched verses globally for those seeking courage under pressure, light in darkness and strength when faith is tested. Across China, North Korea, Eritrea, Iran and Afghanistan, believers cling to this promise with unshakeable hope. prayer anchors Day 2 in PERSEVERANCE, standing with our brothers and sisters who refuse to let fear silence their faith. For many Christians, faith comes at a cost — secrecy, isolation, imprisonment and constant danger. Yet in every hidden room, prison cell, and whispered gathering, Jesus is present. The rod and staff of Christ protect, comfort and guide. No government, law or threat can remove His presence. The Holy Spirit fills underground believers with a courage that cannot be extinguished. Persecuted believers remind us what courage truly looks like — worship in silence, prayer behind closed doors, Scripture hidden in hearts, and faith held tightly when the world pushes back.Their valley is dark, but Christ's light is brighter. Their path is dangerous, but His presence is stronger. Today, as we pray for them, we also reflect on our own faith: Are we willing to stand? Are we willing to remain faithful? The Spirit strengthens both them and us. We lift China, North Korea, Eritrea, Iran and Afghanistan before You, Lord. Strengthen the secret church, protect prisoners of faith, empower underground leaders and comfort those who worship quietly in fear of persecution.Bring revival in hidden places. Let courage spread, protection increase and Your presence be their constant companion. Pray for protection over secret gatherings. Ask God to strengthen believers facing imprisonment. Pray for Bibles and resources to reach underground churches.Ask the Holy Spirit to comfort families separated by persecution.Pray for courage for new believers under threat.Ask for supernatural protection over pastors and leaders.Pray for prisoners of faith to experience Christ's presence.Ask God to soften the hearts of persecutors.Pray for revival to grow in hostile natiSupport the showFor more inspiring content, visit RBChristianRadio.net — your home for daily devotionals, global prayer, and biblical encouragement for every season of life.

Send us your feedback — we're listeningRomans 8:28 — God Works in All Things: Perseverance for the Persecuted Church“And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.” — Romans 8:28Recorded live here in London, England with Reverend Ben Cooper. Across the world right now, countless believers worship Jesus in silence, secrecy and danger. Romans 8:28 remains one of the most searched verses because persecuted believers cling to this truth when everything around them shakes.From China to North Korea, from Eritrea to Somalia, from Afghanistan to India, the church under pressure stands with unbroken faith.This is our Faith Under Fire prayer — part of the Ultra Ecosystem Arc — where courage becomes perseverance. When the world opposes them, Christ strengthens them. When darkness rises, God is still working for good.Romans 8:28 was written to a church facing suffering, uncertainty and hostility — a mirror of what many believers face today. Yet Paul declares that God remains sovereign in every trial. Persecuted believers do not have freedom, safety or visibility — but they have Jesus. And Jesus is enough. The Holy Spirit strengthens them in prison cells, in house-church gatherings, in whispered midnight prayers. What the enemy meant for destruction, Faith under fire reveals the purity of devotion. Persecuted believers do not follow Jesus for comfort — they follow Him because He is truth, life and the only hope that cannot be taken away God is working in all things, even when the battle feels relentless. We pray for China, North Korea, Somalia and India — nations where believers face oppression, imprisonment, intimidation and loss.Lord, surround the underground church with Your protection. Strengthen pastors, house-church leaders and disciples meeting in secrecy.Open prison doors, soften the hearts of officials and guard every family standing for Christ.  Ask God to protect underground churches meeting in secret.Pray for prisoners of faith to be comforted and sustained.Ask the Holy Spirit to bring courage to families under pressure.Pray for Bibles to reach restricted nations.Ask God to break the chains of persecution and injustice.Pray for revival to rise from hidden places.Ask God to strengthen leaders facing threats.Pray for protection for new believers in hostile environments.Thank God thaSupport the showFor more inspiring content, visit RBChristianRadio.net — your home for daily devotionals, global prayer, and biblical encouragement for every season of life.

Many meet secretly, whisper prayers and risk everything to follow Christ. Philippians 4 : 13 becomes their lifeline. It reminds them that strength is not human; it is given by Christ in the darkest places.ReflectionCourage is not the absence of fear but the presence of Christ. The Holy Spirit strengthens believers who cannot worship openly, who carry Scripture in their hearts and who trust Jesus behind locked doors. Their faith challenges us to stand firm, pray boldly and live with conviction. Intercession and VisionWe pray for China, North Korea, Iran and Eritrea.Lord, protect secret believers and underground churches.Strengthen prisoners of faith with hope and endurance.Let the Holy Spirit fill every hidden gathering with power.May revival rise even in the most restricted nations. Prayer PointsPrayer for persecuted Christians to receive Christ's strength.Ask God to protect the underground church.Prayer for prisoners of faith to be encouraged.Ask the Holy Spirit to give courage to secret believers.Prayer for hope in nations hostile to the Gospel.Ask Jesus to break fear and strengthen faith.Prayer for hidden churches to grow and multiply.Ask God to comfort families separated by persecution.Prayer for boldness in suffering for Christ.Thank God that His strength is enough in every trial.Life ApplicationPray today for believers who cannot worship freely.

Greetings Glocal Citizens! This week on the podcast as I'm easing back into the flow of life in Accra after a whirlwind trip across the US via London. My experiences in the US inlcluded much needed R&R in Hawaii, where I met some amazing new connections--stay tuned for those conversations early next year. Next, I revisited my alma mater, Stanford University for reunion-homecoming weekend and reconnected with classmates doing truly amazing work, which you'll also hear about soon. The rest of my time was spent getting myself organized for a new chapter on this Pan-African progres mission, engaging with #UNGA80 in New York City, and gathering my thoughts in Colorado. As part of my thought gathering and as five years of storytelling with dynamic diasporans becomes six, this week's compilation is a reflection on visionary entrepreneurs doing essential work improving food systems, as stewards of earth's abundant resources, and by building and delivering value to communities. Each of these guests - Luther Lawoyin, founder and CEO of Pricepally in Nigeria; Nana Opoku Ageyman-Prempeh, CEO of Grow For Me in Ghana; Wellington Baiden, CEO of Portal Forest Estates also in Ghana; and Asmeret Berhe-Lumax, founder of the One Love Community Fridge Project in the US, engages daily with the realities of the global challenges we are all facing - the availability and access to affordable, quality food; improving the livelihoods of those that deliver that food; and planning the land for the long haul. The great thing about each of their entgerprises is that they are all growing and going strong with mission critical works, AND you can help ensure their continued success with your time, investment and/or donations. Revist the full episodes with links to how to engage with each guest here: A Revolution of Solutions with Luther Lawoyin (https://glocalcitizens.fireside.fm/guests/luther-lawoyin) Crowdfunding African Agribusiness with Nana Opoku Ageyman-Prempeh (https://glocalcitizens.fireside.fm/guests/nana-opoku-agyemen-prempeh) Portal into Agro-Forestry with Wellington Baiden (https://glocalcitizens.fireside.fm/guests/wellington-baiden) Connecting Communities with Asmeret Berhe-Lumax (https://glocalcitizens.fireside.fm/guests/asmeret-berhe-lumax) Special Guests: Asmeret Berhe-Lumax, Luther Lawoyin, Nana Opuku Agyeman-Prempeh, and Wellington Baiden.

Send us your feedback — we're listeningRevelation 19 : 16 — King of Kings and Lord of Lords : Faith Under Fire for the Persecuted Church “On his robe and on his thigh he has this name written: KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS.” — Revelation 19 : 16Recorded live here in London, England with Reverend Ben Cooper.At 9 A.M., the Church stands in solidarity with those who suffer for the name of Jesus. Revelation 19 : 16 declares Christ as the King of Kings and Lord of Lords. Across China, Iran, North Korea and Eritrea, believers worship in secret yet with unshaken faith. The power of Christ's throne outlasts every chain and prison door. The blood of the martyrs still speaks of victory and hope. Today we lift the persecuted Church and declare that Jesus reigns forever.Paragraph 1 – Context From the first century to now, followers of Jesus have faced fire and imprisonment for their faith. Revelation 19 : 16 reminds us that no empire, law or leader can dethrone the King of Kings. The Church under fire still testifies that Christ is Lord and His Kingdom cannot be crushed.Paragraph 2 – Reflection When the world sees weakness, heaven sees worship.

Persecution purifies faith; it reveals the strength of His Spirit within us.Paragraph 3 – Intercession & Vision We pray for China, Iran, North Korea and Eritrea.

So cute and easy!   Knitting in Passing A cute preteen girl came over when I was crocheting on the train to ask what kind of hook I was using and then asked if I was making a stocking for Christmas. I asked if she crocheted. She said yes but didn't offer more. When she went back to the grown up she was with, they gave her a big high five. So cute. Then the gentleman across from me who saw me counting rows then asked what happened if I lose count. Told him I could read the stitches. He congratulated me onto who new addition to our family.   In My Travels I shared highlights from a recent trip to New York City. I spent a wonderful morning at the MET Aida Silvestri- artist from Eritrea who had a triptych of pieces on display. Her work is motivated by social concern, but it also explores the camera's ability to connect people to a place. In these portraits of immigrant women, the artist strategically blurs her subjects' faces. This gesture, born of a need for protective anonymity, seems to evoke a greater enigma of the self. Mapping the course of migration to London are lines of thread stitched into the surfaces of the print- permanent, identity-altering interventions. Silvestri regards her series as a documentary project dedicated to those travelers who never reached their destination. Two embroidery samplers from Bostonian women from the late 1700s that were just beautiful. We visited the Chelsea Flea- I got a cool pair of earrings We got cookies from Levain Bakery We made a quick trip to Knitty City and Laura picked out yarn for a hat Musical- Two Strangers Carry a Cake Across New York We also saw Blue Moon at the movies.

Please email me to request the address.   Commentator Update (links in this section go to Ravelry)   Quarter 2 is in full swing and, when I looked today, 9 players had already submitted for points for the Q2 challenge!  Are you still thinking of what you can make that is at least 60 rows, using a row counter?  Here are some ideas! Hats! Many of our early Q2 finishers completed hats.  Neferetri, Hollyelyse and Janknitdun completed beautiful cabled hats...I bet the row counter came in handy for those projects! Kimbuktu7 completed a lovely colorwork hat Adrie9 completed a lovely two colored musselburgh hat  Neckwear is also a popular choice among our early Q2 finishers Mikkaelab completed a lovely crocheted cowl and a knit bandana! Sandyrlevin also completed a cowl in steelers colors (note--she used a pattern by PSP Knitty Natty too)--Way to rack up those points! There's still plenty of time for you to get your projects in for Q2. These finishers have definitely demonstrated that there are plenty of patterns with at least 60 rows that work up in a flash!   PepperRN added in Pigskin Party Tips Thread on Ravelry If you are budgeting but still want to support sponsors buy something re usable. Stitch markers can be used in 1 project and then when finished in the next. I like knitting hats for charity so I bought a hat pattern from a sponsor. I put that pattern with a sponsor bag and sponsor stitch markers and can knit it over and over during the PSP.   On a Happy Note New York City! I took the train this time which was a great option. Laura and I had dinner with two of her pilates clients. We all enjoyed Gabriella and Zachary's first sleepover. We watched the KPOP Demon Hunters movie and after going to bed early and reading the Hot Air Balloon book, wehad fun hunting for the orange eyed monster! Dan made the kids pancakes and we'll put their photos on the collage wall in the guest room. Gabriella asked for a unicorn and a ghost Spiderman. Zach wanted Spiderman. I received a really nice message from my cousin Gayle who was visiting her friend in NH and let me know that Mom's shawl that she chose was keeping her warm. Love you Gayle! My childhood friend Maribeth has shared a few photos of things her family has found when cleaning out her parents' attic- costumes and things my mom made. It was sweet of her to send me those photos so we could reminisce. I finally got to join Beth's Karaoke Night Zoom (part of the Love in Stitches Membership). Dad is recovering from a back injury but doing better. We successfully moved my grandmother into the Memory Care side of the independent living home she's lived at for 5 years. Hope this will be a good fit for her. I got a massage this week!   Quote of the Week   "In November, the earth is growing quiet. It is making its bed, a winter bed for flowers and small creatures.

Send us your feedback — we're listeningHebrews 1 : 8 — Jesus Reigns Over the Nations : Prayer for Eritrea“But about the Son he says, ‘Your throne, O God, will last for ever and ever; a sceptre of justice will be the sceptre of your kingdom.'” — Hebrews 1 : 8The throne of Christ does not tremble when nations shake. Hebrews 1 : 8 declares His reign is eternal and His sceptre is justice. Tonight we turn our hearts toward Eritrea—a land of endurance and hidden faith. Across its mountains and coastlines, believers whisper prayers of courage and hope. Jesus Christ, King of Kings, rules here as surely as in heaven above. Let this prayer resound: Eritrea belongs to the Lord, and His justice will prevail.Paragraph 1 – Context Eritrea is a nation marked by resilience and quiet strength. Behind closed doors, the church endures hardship for the name of Jesus. Yet Hebrews 1 : 8 reminds us that no government or prison can dethrone the Son of God. His kingdom stands where human power fades, and His justice outlives oppression.Paragraph 2 – Reflection When we pray for Eritrea, we stand with believers who serve Christ in silence yet burn with unshaken faith. Their endurance proves that the authority of Jesus cannot be contained. As we lift this nation, we surrender control to the One whose throne endures forever.Paragraph 3 – Intercession & Vision Lord, let revival rise in Eritrea. Strengthen pastors, protect families, and sustain the underground church. Bring mercy to leaders and healing to the land. May Eritrea become a beacon of faith in East Africa—a testimony that Christ still rules with justice and peace.Prayer PointsPray for strength and protection for believers in Eritrea.Ask God to open doors for freedom of worship.Pray for government leaders to encounter Jesus Christ.Intercede for families divided by persecution.Declare that the throne of Jesus stands over Eritrea.Pray for hidden churches to grow safely.Ask the Spirit to comfort prisoners of faith.Pray for healing and reconciliation across the land.Lift up Eritrea's youth to carry the Gospel boldly.Thank God that His justice will cover the nation.Life ApplicationRemember Eritrea in your daily prayers.

In its duration, geographical reach, and ferocity, World War II was unprecedented, and the effects on those who fought it and their loved ones at home, immeasurable. The heroism of the men and women who won the war may be well documented, but we know too little about the pain and hardships veterans endured upon their return home. Drawing from veterans' memoirs, oral histories, and government documents, acclaimed historian David Nasaw illuminates a hidden chapter of American history—one of trauma, resilience, and a country in transition in THE WOUNDED GENERATION: Coming Home After World War II. Nearly 16.4 million Americans served in the U.S. Armed Forces in World War II. This book “is an account of the aftereffects that lived on in the bodies, hearts, and minds of those who fought, those who awaited their return, and the nation that had won the war but had now to readjust to peace.”As Nasaw makes evident, the veterans who returned to America were not the same people as those who had left for war, and the nation to which they came back was not the one they left behind. Contrary to the prevailing narratives of triumph, here are the largely unacknowledged realities the veterans—and the nation—faced, radically reshaping our understanding of this era as a bridge to today, as we mark the 80th anniversary of the end of World War II.Nasaw presents a complicated portrait of those who brought the war home with them, among whom were the period's most influential political and cultural leaders, including John F. Kennedy, Robert Dole, and Henry Kissinger; J. D. Salinger and Kurt Vonnegut; Harry Belafonte and Jimmy Stewart. In The Wounded Generation, Nasaw illustrates the indelible stories of veterans and their loved ones as they confronted the aftershocks of World War II.David Nasaw is a historian, two-time Pulitzer Prize finalist, and bestselling author of The Last Million, named a best book of the year by NPR, Kirkus Reviews, and History Today; The Patriarch, a New York Times Five Best Non-Fiction Books of the Year; Andrew Carnegie, a New York Times Notable Book of the Year and the winner of the American History Book Prize; and The Chief, winner of the Bancroft Prize. He was the Arthur M. Schlesinger, Jr. Professor of History at the CUNY Graduate Center and the president of the Society of American Historians. In 2023, he was honored by the New York Public Library as a “Library Lion.” Nasaw's father served in the Army Medical Corps in Eritrea during World War II. He lives in New York City.#worldwar2 #authorpodcastPhoto Credit: Alex Irklievski

Donate (no account necessary) | Subscribe (account required) Join Bryan Dean Wright, former CIA Operations Officer, as he dives into today's top stories shaping America and the world. In this Friday Headline Brief of The Wright Report, Bryan covers Trump's new work requirements for welfare recipients, job losses from the AI revolution, major trade developments with China, new drone defenses for the Pacific, and the growing risks of a satellite disaster in orbit. Work for Welfare Begins: Starting tomorrow, able-bodied adults ages 18 to 65 without dependents must work at least 80 hours a month to receive food aid under Trump's "Triple B Bill." Exemptions include parents of young children and residents in areas with high unemployment. Bryan warns that states managing these programs may soon raise local taxes to offset new administrative costs. AI Cuts Human Jobs: Amazon and other major tech firms are laying off software engineers as AI begins writing code and automating support work. Bryan calls it "a quiet industrial revolution that's going to reshape America's middle class for decades." Trump and Xi Trade Gains and Tensions: China agreed to buy 12 million metric tons of U.S. soybeans this season, with promises to expand purchases later if relations hold steady. But Xi refused to curb Russian oil imports, signaling Beijing's intent to prolong the war in Ukraine. New U.S. Drone System — The X-BAT: A cutting-edge drone platform called the X-BAT can launch vertically, operate without runways, and land itself like a reusable rocket. Bryan calls it "a game-changer for a future war in the Pacific." A Coming Satellite Crisis: With 100,000 satellites expected in orbit by 2030, experts warn of potential collisions and cascading debris — the "Kessler Syndrome." Bryan explains how one accident could take down global communications and cripple modern life. Venezuela Airstrikes Under Review: Trump is considering airstrikes against Venezuelan drug ports and airfields tied to the Cartel de los Soles. Analysts believe the move could topple Nicolás Maduro and restore democracy under opposition leader María Corina Machado. Europe's Migration Backlash: Germany and Sweden face outrage over migrant crime after courts refused to deport rapists from Eritrea. Bryan highlights how "suicidal empathy" — compassion that undermines security — is destabilizing Western nations. Ukraine's Strain and Russia's Weakness: Russia cut interest rates to ease its stagnant economy while Ukraine faces mass draft dodging as 100,000 young men flee to Europe. Trump responded by reducing U.S. troop levels in Romania to refocus on the Pacific and Latin America. Crisis in Mali: Al Qaeda rebels have surrounded Mali's capital as the U.S. orders citizens to evacuate. Bryan warns that Ukraine's secret aid to jihadist groups could backfire and lead to a new Taliban-style regime in West Africa. Listener Mail — The Morality of Espionage: Bryan answers questions about ethics inside the CIA, sharing personal reflections on moral judgment, mentorship, and the gray zones of intelligence work. "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." - John 8:32 Keywords: Trump welfare work requirements Triple B Bill, Amazon AI job cuts software layoffs, Trump Xi China soybean trade, X-BAT drone vertical launch defense, Kessler Syndrome satellite collision risk, Venezuela airstrike Cartel de los Soles, Germany Sweden migrant crime backlash, Russia Ukraine draft exodus Romania troops, Mali AQ ISIS rebellion evacuation, CIA morality ethics Bryan Dean Wright

Two Poles pushing human limits: one running marathons in nearly every country on Earth, the other summiting the world's highest peaks; both pushing human endurance for personal strength. What drives a person to test the limits of body and spirit? Wojtek Machnik and Magdalena Skawińska,both Polish-born adventurers have redefined what it means to explore the world and the inner frontiers of discipline and resilience. Wojtek Machnik: Running the World, One Country at a Time Wojtek Machnik is a man in motion: he's visited 193 countries and ran 238 marathons in 181 of them. After 12 years in corporate banking and insurance, he left it all behind in 2016 to create a company combining travel and running, aligned with his own life's mission. Wojtek founded a travel agency for marathon enthusiasts, became a dive instructor, and then, in 2018, launched his life's defining challenge: the 249 Challenge, to complete a marathon in every country and territory on Earth. From December 2018 to December 2019, he ran 66 marathons in 66 countries, setting a world record for the most marathons completed in different countries within one year. When COVID-19 halted global races, Wojtek's creativity continued despite confinement due to quarantine: he famously ran a marathon in flip-flops around his bed, completing 5,626 loops of a 7.5m circuit. This viral act of defiance inspired runners worldwide. Later that year, Wotjek broke another world record for the shortest marathon loop — just 5 metres, requiring 8,440 laps and 13 hours of sheer determination. By 2020, Wojtek had become the first Pole in history and only the 16th person in the world to complete marathons in 100 countries. His goals remain as ambitious as ever: “I plan to reach 300 marathons in 200 countries by my 50th birthday, on June 20, 2027.” Beyond his personal achievements, Wojtek has also brought marathons to nations that had none, including Syria, Guyana, and Suriname, creating platforms for unity, health, and peace through sport. In 2022, in partnership with the Syrian Olympic Committee and Ministry of Tourism, he helped launch the Damascus International Marathon, the first major international sports event in Syria since the war. The following year, runners from 30 countries participated. Next stops: Ethiopia, Djibouti, Eritrea, and Somalia as part of his planned Horn of Africa Marathon Challenge (2026). “Running connects people beyond politics, borders, and beliefs,” Wojtek says. “It's the simplest way to explore, and to understand, our shared world.” Magdalena and her Mountains If Wojtek runs across the world, Magdalena Skawińska climbs it. Magdalena Skawińska's father was deeply attached to the mountains and from as early as was possible, Magdalena and her mother joined him on these expeditions in Poland, getting up at 2am to hit the mountain tracks before any trails got ‘busy' or, more notably, bad weather set in. As a young child Magdalena didn't always realise the power of this time together, bonding as a family, nor the power of extremely tough self discipline which was instilled. Since then, Magdalena who, by the way has a demanding day-time job as a lawyer in Luxembourg, has summited several of the worlds highest peak: Mont Blanc (4,808 m) Kilimanjaro (5,895 m) Elbrus (5,642 m) Aconcagua (6,962 m) Kazbek (5,047 m) Mera Peak (6,476 m) – her first Himalayan 6,000er Lenin Peak (7,134 m) – her first 7,000m summit, conquered in 2024 For Magdalena, mountaineering is more than sport — it's a spiritual and philosophical act of empowerment. She has travelled to Yemen, Syria, and Armenia, combining her expeditions with photography and cultural immersion, using her lens to capture both landscapes and the human stories within them. “Climbing and travelling to unconventional destinations is about reclaiming your own individuality and quiet courage,” she explains. “It's about defying expectations, especially as a woman, and believing deeply in your own strength, perseverance, and dreams.” Her story embodies balance between ambition and courage plus reflection and wonder.

It's Thursday, August 28th, 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 and Adam McManus International plea to release 7 pastors in Eritrea, Africa A consortium of charities is calling for the release of seven pastors in Eritrea who have been imprisoned for over 20 years. Since 2002, the East African nation outlawed many religious practices. Thousands of people have subsequently faced imprisonment, including Protestants. A country expert told Open Doors, “Anything done by any churches or its members [which is] seen as a threat to the absolute control currently in place will be subjected to punishment.” Eritrea is known as the “North Korea of Africa.” The government infamously holds some prisoners in shipping containers. Eritrea is ranked sixth on the Open Doors' World Watch List of the most difficult places to be a Christian.   Evangelical churches in Spain on the rise Evangelical Focus reports that Evangelical churches are the most numerous of “minority” religions in Spain. Evangelical churches now account for 56% of non-Catholic places of worship in the Catholic-majority country. The second most numerous minority religion is Islam. Muslims have the most places of worship in smaller municipalities with less than 5,000 inhabitants. Meanwhile, Evangelical churches are more numerous in municipalities with 5,000 to 100,000 people.  Twisted trans killed 2 Catholic school students, injures 17 Tragically, a twisted transgendered psychotic, 23-year-old Robert Westman, who pretended to be female, shot and killed two children yesterday morning at 8:30am at Annunciation Catholic School in Minneapolis, Minnesota, reports The Blaze. The dead kids were 8 and 10 years old. Another 17 people were injured, including 14 children between the ages of 6 and 14, and three adults who ere all parishioners in their 80s. 10-year-old Weston Halsne, a fifth grader, described the deadly school shooting he witnessed at the beginning of the Catholic mass. HALSNE: “Yeah, it was like, maybe, like three minutes in, the first shot fired. … They shot through the stained glass windows, I think. And it was really scary. It was, like, right beside me. I was, like, two seats away from the stained glass windows. The shots were, like, right next to me. I think I got, like, gunpowder on my neck.” REPORTER: “When you heard the shots, what went through your head?” HALSNE: “The first one, I was, like, ‘What is that?' And when I heard it again, I just ran under the pew, and then I covered my head. My friend Victor, like, saved me, though, because he laid on top of me. My friend got hit in the back. He went to the hospital.” REPORTER:  “What went through your mind when you saw that?” HALSNE: “I was super scared for him, but I think now he's okay.” REPORTER:  “What do you want to say to your friend who helped protect you?” HALSNE: “He's really brave, and I hope he's good in the hospital. I'm praying for you.” The man, who legally changed his name from Robert to “Robin” in 2020, then killed himself. President Donald Trump responded immediately on Truth Social. He wrote, “I have been fully briefed on the tragic shooting in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The FBI quickly responded and they are on the scene. The White House will continue to monitor this terrible situation. Please join me in praying for everyone involved!” Earlier yesterday morning, Robert Westman allegedly released a deeply disturbing 11-minute-long YouTube video which I watched in its entirety. Amidst the profanity, he featured a picture of Jesus in the middle of a shooting target and a crudely drawn map of the church where the mass would take place. Westman revealed a massive amount of ammunition and long guns displayed on the bed, which were covered in his own white sharpie graffiti. As he narrated the video in a series of almost demonically-driven voices, he panned guns with the words “Where is your God?” and “For the children” and “No remorse” and “Rip and tear” scrawled across the guns.  Other egregious messages include “6 million wasn't enough” and “Kill Trump now.”  The shirt which he planned to wear during his forthcoming shooting rampage said, “Let's do this before the anxiety kicks in.” Isaiah 59:7 says, “Their feet rush into sin; they are swift to shed innocent blood. They pursue evil schemes; acts of violence mark their ways.” West Virginian parents allowed to opt kids out of vaccines West Virginia's Republican Governor Patrick Morrisey signed an executive order earlier this year to protect religious freedom and parental rights.  The order allows parents to opt out of schools' vaccination requirements on religious grounds. Not surprisingly, the leftist American Civil Liberties Union issued a legal challenge. Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announced his support for the order on Monday. He wrote on X, “I urge state legislators to support the Governor's leadership and protect these fundamental rights. At @HHSgov, we will enforce conscience protections and defend every family's right to make informed health decisions.” Texas public schools will display Ten Commandments On Monday, Texas Republican Attorney General Ken Paxton ordered public schools in the state to display the Ten Commandments. A recent court order blocked some school districts from displaying the Ten Commandments. But Paxton has ordered all districts not affected by the litigation to have the displays up by next week. Paxton wrote, “From the beginning, the Ten Commandments have been irrevocably intertwined with America's legal, moral, and historical heritage. … The woke radicals seeking to erase our nation's history will be defeated. I will not back down from defending the virtues and values that built this country.” In Deuteronomy 6:6-9, God said, “And these words which I command you today shall be in your heart. You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, when you walk by the way, when you lie down, and when you rise up. … You shall write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates.” Cracker Barrel keeps logo but pushes sexual perversion And finally, Cracker Barrel announced Tuesday it will keep its classic logo after significant backlash. The restaurant chain planned to sanitize its logo by removing the famous “old timer” figure leaning against a barrel. The drawing is based on Uncle Herschel McCartney, the real uncle of Cracker Barrel founder Dan Evins.   The company's stock dropped nearly $100 million last week in response to the rebranding.   President Donald Trump praised the decision to keep the classic logo. So did U.S. GOP Congressman Byron Donalds, a Republican representative for Florida.  He wrote on X, “In college, I worked at @CrackerBarrel in Tallahassee. I even gave my life to Christ in their parking lot. Their logo was iconic and their unique restaurants were a fixture of American culture. No one asked for this woke rebrand. It's time to Make Cracker Barrel Great Again.” D.C. Draino tweeted, “Oh, and keep the original interiors. We want to eat in Grandma's home, not Grandma's nursing home.” And Brandon Wilinkson, who featured screenshots of Cracker Barrel's LGBTQ+ Alliance logo, tweeted, “You want us to come back?  Scrap the woke DEI-pandering policies and fire the CEO. Until that happens, my family won't be coming back. You forget who your customers are. They aren't woke liberals in the cities. It's regular, working-class Americans that still hold traditional American values!” Close And that's The Worldview on this Thursday, August 28th, 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.  I'm Adam McManus (Adam@TheWorldview.com).

Hana Menghisteab is back on VOM Radio this week in a follow-up conversation after sharing with us on the 20th anniversary of her father's arrest in Eritrea. This week, Hana shares how that interview—really the first time she'd spoken publicly about her father and her family's suffering—was painful, but also how God used it to open a door for healing in her life. Before his arrest in 2004, Dr. Tecleab Menghisteab was a medical doctor and a leader in the Eritrean Orthodox Church. He is one of more than 300 Christians currently in prison in Eritrea. Hana was six years old when her father was arrested. Hana will tell how growing up without her father left her wounded in many areas of her life. However, Hana says, “God does not waste pain; He doesn't waste the years of tears.” Instead, the Lord uses suffering to display His glory. Hana says her interview last year opened wounds she'd wanted to keep covered up. “God forced me to reopen them and partake in my father's suffering,” she says. She'll tell how the Lord has allowed her to surrender her wounds to Him and encouraged her to be bold in sharing her story with others. She'll also share how an internship at VOM impacted her understanding of suffering and how God works through it. Hearing and reading stories of sisters and brothers also afflicted with suffering for their faith has shown Hana the beauty of those scars, even amidst the pain. Listen to Hana's previous visit with VOM Radio. There are a few seats remaining at VOM's From the Field 2025 National Conference. The conference will take place in Bartlesville, Oklahoma September 25-27. Attendees will hear from persecuted Christians—including several former VOM Radio guests—during the conference.

When Yang Rongli, a pastor of Linfen Golden Lampstand Church in Shanxi Province, China, was sentenced to 15 years in prison, she responded with words of celebration. “I got the top reward!” she said, considering it an honor to suffer for Christ and referring to the fact that her prison sentence was longer than other church members. She and her husband, Pastor Wang Xiaoguang, remain in prison. Listen this week as Bob Fu, former prisoner for Christ in China and the founder and president of China Aid Association, shares updates from persecuted Christians in China, including Pastor John Cao, Pastor Wang Yi, and other Chinese Christians. The Chinese Communist Party continues to pursue absolute government control of churches and other religious institutions in China. Pastors and church leaders face long prison sentences for “fraud” when their church collects tithes and offerings, or “illegal border crossing” if they travel to meet with fellow believers outside China. Despite being prevented from leaving China following the completion of his seven-year prison sentence, Pastor John Cao continues serving the Lord through daily prayer meetings. He's even baptized new believers—despite Communist guards required to escort him everywhere he goes! Bob Fu, author of God's Double Agent, reports on recent church raids in China, including arrests of children attending Vacation Bible School. The Communist Party forbids any religious outreach or training for children under age 18. With two years remaining in his nine-year sentence, Pastor Wang Yi has composed books in his head during his time in prison, as well as praying daily through a list of more than 1,000 prayer requests. You can write letters of encouragement to Wang Yi and other Christian prisoners in China, Eritrea, Iran and other nations at www.PrisonerAlert.com.
