On October 27, 2007, Joel Lovelien stepped outside the Broken Drum Bar in Grand Forks, North Dakota, during a night filled with costumes, celebration, and heavy drinking. Moments later, he was found in the parking lot, gravely injured. Despite a rapid emergency response, Joel did not survive. For this Halloween throwback, Dakota Spotlight revisits the first episode of Unresolved: The Murder of Joel Lovelien — a true story that began with a party bus, a crowd in costume, and a tragedy that left behind more questions than answers. Through interviews, trial evidence, and police reports, journalist James Wolner reexamines one of North Dakota's most haunting unsolved cases — and the night that changed a community forever.

Episode Summary: Host Scott Hennen dives into a packed Friday edition of "What's On Your Mind," starting with the excitement of the Sioux vs. Gophers hockey series in Grand Forks , which he calls the "Super Bowl of college hockey". Scott and co-host JT discuss the dynamic of cheering for their alma mater's opponent, and Scott reveals a kind gesture from Gophers coach Bob Motzko to former UND coach Brad Barry. They announce the winners of tickets to the games—the new Lego store in Fargo and Hot Spring Spas and Pool Tables Too (Hot Tub Vinny). This leads to the "Feel Good Friday" segment with Vince Webker (Hot Tub Vinny) , who discusses the wellness mission of his company, focused on making wellness a reality. Vince and Scott discuss the life-changing benefits and science behind hot tubs, saunas, and cold plunges. Vince also touches on sports, particularly the Vikings' upcoming game against the Eagles, predicting Carson Wentz will start at quarterback. The conversation shifts to politics, with a full hour scheduled with Senator Kevin Cramer to discuss the government shutdown. Scott shares a theory that the shutdown is tied to the timing of the "No Kings Rally" and plays a clip of Charlie Kirk debating a student on whether the Republican Party is controlled by billionaires, with Kirk arguing the wealthiest counties and many billionaires are actually on the left. Later, Scott interviews Dean Kyle Armitage of NDSCS Career and Technical Education about the value of trade careers—like HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and culinary —and sponsorship programs with companies like Butler Machinery that help students work, get paid, and avoid loans. Finally, Senator Kevin Cramer joins the show to discuss the government shutdown , his desire to expose bureaucracy , the constitutional requirement for Congress to be paid , and answers listener questions on everything from congressional decorum to foreign aid, specifically mentioning a currency swap with Venezuela.   Standout Moments (Approximate Timestamps): 0:01: Scott Hennen's introduction and the excitement for the Sioux vs. Gophers rivalry, including Gopher Coach Bob Motzko's surprising, nice gesture to former UND coach Brad Barry. 0:08: "Feel Good Friday" with Vince Webker (Hot Tub Vinny) discussing the wellness benefits and science of hot tubs, saunas, and cold plunges. 0:21: Scott details the theory that the government shutdown is tied to the timing of the "No Kings Rally". 0:31: Interview with Dean Kyle Armitage of NDSCS Career…

Broadcasting from the final day of the 19th Annual UAS Summit and Expo in Grand Forks, Scott and Kevin host a deep dive into the coming "Fourth Industrial Revolution"—the rise of AI and "intelligence factories". Dan Wright, CEO of Armada, explains how his company's mobile, non-brick-and-mortar data centers use stranded energy to help the U.S. win the global AI race against China and foster economic growth in states like North Dakota. He announces a key partnership with Skydio, a major U.S. drone manufacturer. In a powerful segment, Scott covers the posthumous award of the Presidential Medal of Freedom to Charlie Kirk on his birthday , contrasting the profound ceremony with the disgustingly hateful reactions from keyboard warriors. The Preacher in the Patch, Ron Abbott, shares his ministry's work, which is focused on encouraging oil field workers and addressing existential questions , and invites listeners to their 100th community event. Finally, financial advisor Brien Krank of Collins and Krank stresses the opportunity for wealth creation in the AI revolution and the paramount importance of having a financial plan that accounts for life's inevitable "what-ifs," ensuring a family's security and goals are met.

Broadcasting live from the 19th Annual UAS Summit and Expo at the Alaris Center in Grand Forks, Scott and Kevin discuss the critical role of Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS), or drones, in national defense and their transformative commercial applications in agriculture and infrastructure. Key guests, Grand Sky founder Tom Sawyer and Grand Forks Mayor Brandon Bochenski, highlight the area's rapid innovation and economic growth, positioning Grand Forks as "the base of the future." In the "Money, Markets, and Metals" segment, David Fisher of Landmark Capital explains the global "debasement trade" driving the bull market in gold and silver, and praises President Trump for securing deals with Pfizer and AstraZeneca to lower prescription drug costs for Americans. The hosts also take a moment to honor Charlie Kirk on his birthday, who is being posthumously awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom. Political commentary focuses on the "No King's Rally" absurdity and the ongoing Schumer shutdown, which Senator John Hoeven confirms Democrats are prolonging to coordinate with the rally. Standout Moments: Host reflects on the UND hockey sweep over the St. Thomas Tommies, humorously using the derogatory term "cake-eaters." (00:01:21) David Fisher announces that major pharmaceutical companies Pfizer and AstraZeneca have signed deals allowing 100 million American patients to save up to 80% on prescriptions due to President Trump's "Most Favored Nation" negotiation. (00:03:57) David Fisher explains the "debasement trade," detailing how massive unmanageable global debt is forcing central banks to inflate their way out, driving a major bull market in gold and silver. (00:04:36) Host announces that President Trump is awarding the Presidential Medal of Freedom to Charlie Kirk's family on what would have been his birthday. (00:10:48) Grand Sky founder Tom Sawyer explains that UAS technology is used for the "dull, the dirty, and the dangerous work," and notes that counter-drone development is critical for national defense after Ukraine used drones to decimate the Russian Air Force. (00:16:03) The hosts and a caller mock the absurdity of the "No King's Rally," pointing out that the rally itself proves there is no king in America, and reveal Democrats are coordinating with the protest to delay the government shutdown resolution. (00:20:47) Grand Forks Mayor Brandon Bochenski speaks about the area's relentless pursuit of UAS technology, stating that Grand Forks Air Force Base is now called "the base of the future." (00:33:04) Senator John Hoeven confirms the Air Force has picked Grand Forks Air Force…

The "What's on Your Mind" Friday edition opens with Kev (filling in for Scott, who is momentarily delayed ) providing a recap of the massive and enthusiastic Turning Point USA event honoring the late Charlie Kirk at the Chester Fritz Auditorium in Grand Forks the previous night. Chris Larson, from the news department, reports that nearly 2,000 people attended the event headlined by Glenn Beck, who opened with a profound, personal story on his life journey and shared his famous "question everything" philosophy. The hosts dive into an extended "free-for-all" discussion on the healthcare crisis, prompted by a listener's question about how Obamacare premiums are going to increase by over 200% when the ACA enhanced tax credits expire. Caller James shares his experience with subsidized but "crappy" insurance, having to manage his income to avoid paying back subsidies. Caller Cindy, a leukemia patient, gives a powerful breakdown of how government, big pharma, and insurance companies have ruined the doctor-patient relationship, leading to insane costs with no price transparency. Scott and James argue that the current system is an unsustainable "dumpster fire," intentionally set up by socialist Democrats to bankrupt the federal government and force a single-payer system. Scott proposes a unique solution for North Dakota: using a slice of the Legacy Fund dollars to develop a state-managed risk pool and opt out of the federal health care mess entirely. The episode also touches on the "Schumer Shutdown," criticizing the Senate Minority Leader for saying, "every day gets better for us" while military and law enforcement personnel have delayed paychecks. Standout Moments: 0:04:18: Chris Larson recounts the massive crowd and emotional atmosphere at the Charlie Kirk memorial event in Grand Forks, noting only one single protester showed up. 0:05:43: The hosts discuss their bingo board for the Turning Point USA halftime show lineup, suggesting Jason Aldean, Ted Nugent, and Kid Rock. 0:07:05: Discussion about the "enhanced tax credits" in Obamacare, which they call the "dirty little secret" that subsidizes health care for people of means with taxpayer dollars. 0:10:04: Caller James explains the perverse incentive of the Obamacare subsidy, where if he makes too much money, he has to pay back the subsidy in a "sticker shock" moment. 0:15:52: Caller Cindy (a leukemia patient) explains the "dumpster fire" of the current medical system, saying she has "no idea" what anything costs when she goes to the hospital. 0:17:47: Scott suggests a…

In this episode, the hosts discuss the current political landscape, starting with a sarcastic "welcome back" from Washington D.C., referred to as "the swamp". The conversation quickly pivots to the ongoing government shutdown, with House Whip Tom Emmer later detailing the Republican efforts to pass a clean continuing resolution and framing the opposition as the "Schumer shutdown". They express a humorous but serious "quest to find normal Democrats". North Dakota Senator John Hoeven joins to discuss the shutdown's impact, particularly in the state, and the efforts to support farmers. A significant portion of the show is dedicated to honoring the late Charlie Kirk, including details about a sold-out Turning Point USA event in Grand Forks featuring Glenn Beck. Hayden Smith, president of the NDSU Turning Point chapter, shares his experiences and the spiritual impact of Charlie Kirk's death on college students. The episode also highlights North Dakota's forward-thinking initiatives, with Valley City State University President Alan LaFave discussing their new AI Institute and record enrollment. Chief Meteorologist Dean Wysocki gives a regional weather forecast, predicting above-normal temperatures for the start of the new LRC cycle. Finally, there is a sobering discussion on teen suicide and the need for more funding for school counselors in the wake of tragic events. Standout Moments: 0:01:21: Discussion about the 'extinct' normal Democrat and the surprisingly practical John Fetterman. 0:03:55: North Dakota Governor Doug Burgum is praised for his tireless work ethic in D.C.. 0:04:47: Outrage over a student posting on Facebook calling Charlie Kirk a "dead bigot" and his hat "racist". 0:08:44: Senator John Hoeven calls the current situation the "Schumer shutdown". 0:18:25: Listener calls in to share a story about a hostile driver reacting to his Trump sign in Fargo. 0:21:49: Tom Emmer calls Minnesota Governor Tim Walz a non-leader whose national tour "played like a fart in church". 0:23:40: The hosts discuss the "pro-terrorist wing of the Democratic Party". 0:25:31: Hayden Smith, NDSU Turning Point chapter president, explains the profound spiritual impact of Charlie Kirk's death on young people. 0:28:13: Valley City State University President highlights the importance of the new AI institute and the university's record enrollment. 0:30:54: Sobering discussion about a teen suicide in Hettinger and the need for mental health resources.

Childcare is a huge challenge for many families, and this is of course true for small towns. When Alex and Tyler's daycare closed their small town of Ottertail, MN (pop. 500), Tyler half-jokingly said, “We should just start our own daycare.” Well, that's pretty much what that did. Two days later, he had a plan and three years later, they're opening a nonprofit daycare to serve their community that could change how rural communities approach childcare. And we are so here for it! About Tyler & Alex: Tyler and Alex Rupe have been married for nearly a decade, bringing together roots from Grand Forks, North Dakota and the Twin Cities area of Minnesota. Shortly after their wedding, the couple relocated to Ottertail and quickly fell in love with the close-knit community. In 2020, Tyler purchased Battle Lake Refrigeration, Heating & Cooling, while Alex has built a career in marketing and event planning before recently becoming Executive Director of the Ottertail Community Center. Together with their two children and their beloved Labrador, Daisy, the Rupes have become integral members of the Ottertail community. They share a profound passion for community service and are dedicated to creating positive, lasting change that will benefit generations to come, working actively to strengthen the bonds that make their adopted hometown such a special place to live and raise a family.  In this episode, we cover: How a childcare crisis (and a joke!) sparked a community movement Why they chose the nonprofit route The “pod model” for childcare The role of collaboration and philanthropy Why a community center is next!  Links + Resources Mentioned: Website: https://www.ottertailcommunityproject.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ottertailcommunityproject Sponsor Spotlight: Brodie Mueller and The Market on the Plaza In small towns, coffee is more than caffeine.

Life's biggest wins come from quiet consistency. For Olympic gold medalist Jocelyne Lamoureux-Davidson, that meant showing up every day and finding joy in the daily grind.  In this episode, she reflects on her journey as an elite athlete, mother of four children, and advocate for equality in women's hockey. We discuss why finding enjoyment in the monotony on the road to excellence matters, how to parent athletes in a way that pushes them without pressure, and ways men can help fight for equality and representation in the game. Tune in to hear what's helped Jocelyne make an impact on and off the ice! Topics discussed: Jocelyne's unique relationship with her twin, Monique The importance of finding joy in the daily grind Jocelyne's role in the 2017 fight for equal pay What it really means to be a winner Balancing honest feedback and encouragement for kids How increased marketing has changed women's hockey How men can be allies in women's hockey Mentorship, coaching, and growth Listen to episode 238, Empowering the Next Generation with Kellan Brown, here: https://www.mitlinfinancial.com/insights/blog/empowering-the-next-generation-with-kellan-brown/ Resources: Mitlin Financial: https://www.mitlinfinancial.com/ The JOY and Productivity Journal by Lawrence Sprung: https://www.amazon.com/JOY-Productivity-Journal-brought-mindset/dp/B0CYQFYW54/ Download Your Free Copy of the Couple's JOYful Money Guide: https://mitlin.us/CouplesJOY Connect with Larry Sprung:  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/lawrencesprung/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/larry_sprung/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/LawrenceDSprung/ X (Twitter): https://x.com/Lawrence_Sprung Connect with Rachel Solomon Fascitelli: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jocelyneusa17/ Twitter: https://x.com/lamoureuxtwins Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/LamoureuxTwins/ Website: www.lamoureuxtwins.com About our Guest: Born and raised in Grand Forks, North Dakota as the youngest of six children, Jocelyne and her twin sister Monique excelled as young athletes and became North Dakota's first Olympic Gold Medalists. Despite growing up with no opportunity to play on girls hockey teams, they did not let that stop them from developing into some of the best players in the state.  They attended Shattuck St. Mary's School where they elevated the women's hockey program to national prominence and won three national titles during their high school careers.   The Lamoureux twins rewrote the record books at the University of North Dakota, setting nearly every individual record in program history while becoming some of the best players in NCAA history and multiple-time All-Americans during their collegiate careers. During their 15 years on the USA Women's National Team, Monique and Jocelyne rose to become two of the all-time greats in women's hockey, winning one Olympic gold medal, two Olympic silver medals, six world championships and one world championship runner-up, along with multiple individual awards and accolades. They are USA Hockey Hall of Fame inductees and 2nd and 3rd youngest North Dakota natives to be given the Teddy Roosevelt Award in the State of North Dakota.  Their most important victories have come off the ice in their fight for gender equity for women in hockey and sports. They were key leaders in negotiating Team USA's first-ever contract that provided more opportunities, compensation and benefits for women and girls who play hockey in America. They continue to give back to the state of North Dakota through the Monique and Jocelyne Lamoureux Foundation, which helps serve underprivileged youth. They have inspired a generation to dream big, but most importantly their legacy will be about making a difference in people's lives as they strive toward those dreams.  Disclosure: Guests on the Mitlin Money Mindset are not affiliated with CWM, LLC, and opinions expressed herein may not be representative of CWM, LLC.

In this latest episode of Ed's occasional podcast Climate Book Reviews, we dive into the wildly imaginative and disturbingly plausible world of Ashley Shelby's acclaimed story collection, Honeymoons in Temporary Locations.Recently named one of Fresh Energy's Favorite Climate Books of 2025 and shortlisted for the Janet Heidinger Kafka Prize, Shelby's collection has been praised by Scientific American, Foreword, and the Post and Courier for its biting wit, emotional punch, and genre-bending storytelling.Ed is joined by his regular co-host Dr. Roger Thompson—now Director of Writing Programs and Professor at Arizona State University—for a lively, funny, and far-ranging conversation with Shelby herself. They unpack her satirical takes on resistance, inequality and privilege in crisis (think "luxury apocolypse bunkers”), and what it means to grieve - and medicate away - the losses brought on by climate change.Shelby's work has appeared in Slate, The New York Times Book Review, LitHub, Salon, and Audubon, and she's received the Red Hen Press Short Fiction Award, the Enizagam Short Story Award, and the Third Coast Fiction Prize. She's also the author of Red River Rising, an acclaimed account of the 1997 Grand Forks flood.If you like your climate fiction smart, satirical, and maybe a little too close to home, this one's for you.More info and past Climate Book Reviews episodes at: climatebookreviews.coSend us a text (if you'd like a response, please include your email)Produced by Amit Tandon & Bespoke Podcasts ___Energy vs Climate Podcastwww.energyvsclimate.com Contact us at info@energyvsclimate.com Bluesky | YouTube | LinkedIn | X/Twitter

By the early 1900s, amateur mechanics in North Dakota were building their own motor cars and whizzing down dirt roads at the mind-boggling speed of 8 miles per hour. The other rage of the time was aviation. North Dakotans were in on that, too. In 1910, Archie Hoekse created a sensation with the first successful North Dakota flight at Grand Forks. And there was Frances Klingensmith, the first woman in the state to get a pilot's license.

From sizzling brisket in Alexander, ND, to political firestorms in Minnesota, What's On Your Mind brings the heat in this jam-packed episode. Scott Hennen and Kevin Flynn go full throttle with live coverage from the Bach Rocks Cookfest, updates on North Dakota's oil revival, and exclusive interviews with Dr. Scott Jensen and Senator Tim Sheehy. Dr. Scott Jensen joins to announce his return to the Minnesota governor's race, unpacking the post-COVID political landscape and his “big tent” vision for Republicans. Later, Senator Tim Sheehy dives deep into wildfires, bureaucratic logjams, and national security. It's a crash course in Washington dysfunction — with a Montana twist. Plus: Kendall Qualls phones in from the road to stir up the race for Minnesota Governor. All this, wrapped in a smoky haze of BBQ, bagels, wellness tips, and weather updates. You'll laugh. You'll learn. You might even book a trip to Alexander. ⏱️ Standout Moments with Timestamps: [00:02:15] – “The Boom Is Back” – Kevin and Scott riff on the reawakening of North Dakota's oil economy and what it means for local businesses (plus FREE BBQ?

[01:58:20] – Wrap-up & What's Next? – Your favorite hosts tease tomorrow's coverage of drone innovation and what's brewing in Grand Forks.

Water in the Red River Valley takes a path that may look odd on a map. That's because the Red River flows north to Lake Winnipeg in Canada. From there, it heads for saltwater, emptying into the Hudson Bay and eventually reaching the ocean. Somewhere along this route, lodged in a beaver dam or trucking downstream, are small wooden canoes that were decorated and launched by students from about 40 elementary schools in Minnesota and North Dakota. Each boat has a QR code and postcard instructing anyone who finds it to share the location. For more on the program called River of Dreams, MPR News host Nina Moini talks with Taylor Lemieux and Ashley Loe. Lemieux is a watershed education coordinator for the International Water Institute, based in Fargo, and Loe is a fifth-grade teacher in Grand Forks, N.D.

This Friday's episode brings everything from belly laughs to tear-jerking moments. Host Scott Hennen goes off-script with a freewheeling, listener-powered first hour that includes everything from giveaways and grocery prices to deep dives into faith, politics, school choice, and even conspiracy theories around gold reserves and Fort Knox. With guests like Nick Hall—a Grand Forks kid turned international evangelist—and listener stories that hit home, this one's a rollercoaster of passion, politics, and popcorn-worthy radio. Stick around for the stunning story of a tearful $10,000 grocery giveaway winner... and find out why one caller says not winning made him a bigger winner.

North Dakota was sweltering during the summer of 1930. The state was in the grip of an oppressive heatwave. Heat and humidity had caused extreme discomfort for several days. Temperatures hovered in the high 90s, and the humidity made things even worse. Hettinger was the hottest spot in the state, hitting 101 degrees. Other towns weren't far behind. Beach and Grand Forks recorded 99, and Williston reached 98. North Dakotans were getting tired of the heat.

It's Thursday, June 26th, 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 Iranian Christians vulnerable to arrest, falsely accused of espionage Christians in Israel and Iran are experiencing fear and uncertainty during recent conflict between the two countries. Christians already face arrest in Iran for simply leading a house church. An Iranian believer told International Christian Concern, “The Iranian government is now arresting anyone caught taking or sharing photos and videos with news outlets. Christians are especially vulnerable, as they risk being accused of espionage and deemed a threat to national security. If their faith is discovered, the consequences are far worse.” Iran is ranked ninth on the Open Doors' World Watch List of the most difficult countries to be a Christian.  Hebrews 13:3 says, “Remember the prisoners as if chained with them—those who are mistreated—since you yourselves are in the body also.” ICE arrested 11 Iranian nationals, one served as Iranian army sniper U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement arrested 11 Iranian nationals over the weekend. The individuals entered the U.S. illegally, and one of them reportedly served as an Iranian Army sniper.  Officials are on high alert for extremist attacks after the U.S. bombed Iranian nuclear facilities on Saturday. Iran has threatened to carry out retaliatory terrorist attacks using sleeper cells in America.  Trump thrilled that NATO paying their fair share The NATO military alliance of western nations held its 2025 summit in the Netherlands this week. NATO countries agreed to raise defense spending to 5% of annual gross domestic product over the next 10 years. That's up from the current target of 2%. This comes after U.S. President Donald Trump has called on European countries to contribute more to the defense budget of the alliance. Listen to comments from Trump. TRUMP: “This is a monumental win for the United States, because we were carrying much more than our fair share. It was quite unfair, actually. But this is a big win for Europe and for actually, Western civilization.” Muslim socialist beat Andrew Cuomo in NYC Dem primary for mayor A Muslim socialist won the Democrat primary for New York City mayor on Tuesday. Remarkably, Zohran Mamdani, age 33, defeated former Democratic Governor Andrew Cuomo in the race. (Watch his election night victory speech) MAMDANI: “Tonight, we made history. (cheering) In the words of Nelson Mandela, ‘It always seems impossible until it is done.' (cheering)  My friends, we have done it. (cheering) I will be your Democratic nominee for the mayor of New York City.” (cheering)   Mamdani has served as a New York state lawmaker. He campaigned on making the Big Apple more affordable, calling for free public transit, rent freezes, and universal childcare. If elected, he would be the city's first Muslim mayor.  President Trump sounded off on Truth Social. He wrote, “Zohran Mamdani, a 100% Communist Lunatic, has just won the Dem Primary, and is on his way to becoming Mayor. We've had Radical Lefties before, but this is getting a little ridiculous. … He's got [U.S. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez]. … and even our Great Palestinian Senator, Cryin' Chuck Schumer, ,,, groveling over him.” Two-thirds of churchgoers attend weekly The Exploring the Pandemic Impact on Congregations project released a new report on U.S. churchgoers this month. The survey found two-thirds of respondents attend services weekly. And over 80% report stable or increased attendance compared to five years ago.  The survey noted a positive outlook: “Many more respondents said their religious faith and spirituality had strengthened since the pandemic. Likewise, financial giving has increased, as has involvement and volunteering.” In terms of newcomers, 38% of churchgoers began attending their church since the COVID-19 pandemic. Of these new attenders, nearly a third never attended church before or are returning to church after years of not participating.  Astronauts from India, Poland and Hungary head to Int'l Space Station Astronauts from India, Poland, and Hungary blasted off for the International Space Station yesterday. It's the first time astronauts from those countries have gone to space in over 40 years. Axiom Space arranged the flight which launched from NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida.  The mission is part of NASA's effort to open space to private companies. Axiom is among several American space companies hoping to put their own space stations into orbit. The Polish astronaut on the mission said space “is not only for the biggest agencies anymore—space is for everyone.” Psalm 8:3-4 reminds us, “When I consider Your heavens, the work of Your fingers, the moon and the stars, which You have ordained, what is man that You are mindful of him, and the son of man that You visit him?” 8 Worldview listeners gave $3,375  to fund our annual budget And finally, toward our $123,500 goal by Monday, June 30th to fully fund The Worldview annual budget for our 6-member team, 8 listeners stepped up to the plate. Our thanks to Augustine in Auburn, California who gave $25, James in Lebanon, Oregon who gave $50 as well as Stephen in Adrian, Oregon and Mark in Grand Forks, North Dakota–both of whom gave $100. We're grateful to God for Richard in Camden Wyoming, Delaware who pledged $25/month for 12 months for a gift of $300, and Keith and Nicole in Aiken, South Carolina who pledged $50 per month for 12 months for a gift of $600. And we were touched by the generosity of Doreen in Caldwell, Idaho who gave $1,000, Shane in Columbia City, Indiana who $1,200, and Scooter in Naples, Florida who, as promised, matched twelve $1,000 donors with his matching gift of $12,000 which has already been incorporated into our previous total. Those 8 Worldview listeners gave a total of $3,375.  Ready for our new grand total? Drum roll please. (Drum roll sound effect) $70,908.55 (People clapping and cheering sound effect)   That means by this coming Monday, June 30th, we need to raise $52,591.45 in just 5 days. That's $10,518.29 per day! We are looking for 9 super donors. Could you give $10,000? Or perhaps you feel the Lord prompting you to become one of 3 businesspeople who could give $5,000? Or one of 5 businesspeople who could contribute $2,500? If so, those donations would total $37,500. Then, we would need another 6 people to pledge $100/month for 12 months for a gift of $1,200. And another 12 people to pledge $50/month for 12 months for a gift of $600? Please, go to TheWorldview.com and click on Give on the top right.
