Podcast appearances and mentions of grover beach

It's Monday, June 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 Adam McManus Pakistani Christian acquitted of blasphemy against Islam charge Last Thursday, a Pakistani judge acquitted a 28-year-old Christian named Farhan Masih of blasphemy against Islam and terrorism charges after the prosecution failed to prove its case against him, reports Morningstar News. Masih had developed a mental illness due to excessive use of synthetic drugs and was entrapped in the false accusation by the complainant. According to Open Doors, Pakistan is the eighth most difficult country worldwide in which to live for Christians. Dear God, we thank you for enabling Farhan Masih, this Pakistani Christian, to be acquitted. Amen. Israel attacks Iran over atomic weapon; Iran retaliates Israel launched blistering attacks on the heart of Iran's nuclear and military structure Friday, deploying warplanes and drones previously smuggled into the country to assault key facilities and kill top generals and scientists, reports the Associated Press. Israeli Prime Minister Benajmin Netanyahu explained. NETANYAHU: “Moments ago, Israel launched Operation Rising Lion, a targeted military operation to roll back the Iranian threat to Israel's very survival. This operation will continue for as many days as it takes to remove this threat. For decades, the tyrants of Tehran have brazenly, openly called for Israel's destruction. They backed up their genocidal rhetoric with a program to develop nuclear weapons. “In recent years, Iran has produced enough highly enriched uranium for nine atom bombs – nine!  In recent months, Iran has taken steps that it has never taken before, steps to weaponize this enriched uranium. If not stopped, Iran could produce a nuclear weapon in a very short time. It could be a year. It could be within a few months.” Iran retaliated by firing waves of ballistic missiles at Israel, where explosions flared in the skies over Jerusalem and Tel Aviv and shook the buildings below. The Israeli military urged civilians to head to shelter, as missiles damaged homes and killed two people. U.S. Senate considers defunding Planned Parenthood In the midst of the U.S. Senate's ongoing debate about the budget, they are determining whether to defund Planned Parenthood, as President Trump has requested, reports Liberty Counsel Action. The situation is fluid and can change at any moment because of the razor-thin margin of votes.  Only  two weeks remain to get the budget on President Trump's desk.  Whether or not your two U.S. Senators are Republicans or Democrats, please call them at 202-224-3121 – any time of the day or night -- and urge them to DEFUND Planned Parenthood. Democratic Minnesota Rep. killed and Minnesota Senator injured in targeted attack A Minnesota Democratic lawmaker and her husband were shot and killed in their home early Saturday by someone posing as a police officer and a second Democratic lawmaker and his wife were wounded in what some have described as  “targeted political violence,” reports the Associated Press. Former Democratic House Speaker Melissa Hortman and her spouse were killed in their Brooklyn Park home. The other lawmaker, Democratic State Senator John Hoffman, and his wife, were shot multiple times in Champlin, a suburb of Minneapolis. Bob Jacobson, Minnesota Commissioner of Public Safety, spoke at a press conference. JACOBSON: “This is a dark day today for Minnesota and for democracy, but we will not allow fear or violence to define who we are or how we move forward.” The gunman has been identified as Vance Luther Boelter, whom Democratic Minnesota Governor Tim Walz had previously appointed to the Governor's Workforce Development Council. Christian singer Michael Tait confesses homosexual conduct & drug abuse Last Tuesday, Michael Tait, the former lead singer of the Christian rock band Newsboys and a member of the Grammy-winning group DC Talk, publicly confessed to a history of "reckless and destructive behavior," including drug and alcohol abuse and unwanted sexual conduct involving men, reports The Christian Post. In a written statement on Instagram, the 59-year-old singer acknowledged that the reports  are “sadly, largely true." He wrote, "For some two decades, I used and abused cocaine, consumed far too much alcohol, and, at times, touched men in an unwanted sensual way. I am ashamed of my life choices and actions, and make no excuses for them. I will simply call it what God calls it — sin. “I was violating everything I was raised to believe by my God-fearing Dad and Mom, about walking with Jesus and was grieving the very God I loved and sang about for most of my life. By His grace, I can say that for the past six months, I have lived a singular life—one of utter brokenness and total dependence on a loving and merciful God." Tait's confession follows an in-depth investigative report published on June 3rd by The Roys Report documenting that three men accused him of sexual assault during separate incidents dating back to 2004. Tait quoted Psalm 51, King David's famous prayer of repentance: "Blot out my transgressions … create in me a new heart, O God." God-haters upset with 10 Commandments displayed in Arkansas schools A group of God-hating organizations has filed a lawsuit against a recently passed law in Arkansas that requires public schools to display the Ten Commandments on the wall in a 16-inch by 20-inch poster with a  font size that makes it easily readable, reports The Christian Post. Americans United for Separation of Church and State, the American Civil Liberties Union, and the Freedom From Religion Foundation filed a complaint on Wednesday on behalf of a religiously diverse group of parents. At issue is Act 573, a measure signed into law by Arkansas Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders in April and is scheduled to take effect in August. The lawsuit argues that "Act 573 is not neutral with respect to religion." Republican State Senator Jim Dotson, one of the bill's primary sponsors, argued in March that the Decalogue displays were not unconstitutional. He said, "From the state to the federal level all throughout our history, it is an historical reference point or historical document that has basic things like you shall not kill, steal, commit adultery -- those basic foundations of life that are good for everybody to keep front of mind so that we are hopefully living good lives," reports KATV. After God revealed the Ten Commandments to Moses on Mt. Sinai, Exodus 20:20 records Moses telling the Jews, “Do not be afraid. God has come to test you, so that the fear of God will be with you to keep you from sinning.” Worldview listeners in South Dakota, Colorado, and Indiana share their hearts I invited Worldview listeners to share what they enjoy about the newscast in 2-6 sentences by email.  You can share your thoughts -- along with your full name, city and state -- and send it to adam@TheWorldview.com Jason Bollwerk in Rapid City, South Dakota wrote, “I am a homeschooled sophomore in high school, and I listen daily to The Worldview for school. My reason for listening is not only to hear what is happening in the world, but I love hearing about all the good things that God is doing out there. Most media outlets show the dark side of what's going on. But The Worldview really shows what God's doing. Tally ho and pip pip.” Cheryl Ball in Indianapolis, Indiana wrote, “I've been reading the transcript of your newscast every morning since the presidential debates last year. I don't watch the news or read other news. So, this is basically my news input and I'm thankful for it.” And Dennis and Alyssa Guse in Castle Rock, Colorado, said, “Thank you for the faithful work you and The Worldview in 5 Minutes team do for the glory of God!  We are blessed to hear relevant news stories and encouraging Scriptures every day.  Keep up the great work for the Kingdom!”  Dennis asked if I could lead an occasional short prayer for one of the news items. I  called him to say that that was a great idea and I would take him up on the suggestion. 17 Worldview listeners gave $6,821 to fund our annual budget And finally, toward our midpoint goal of $61,750 to fund half of The Worldview newscast's annual budget by this past weekend, 17  listeners stepped up to the plate by 1:00pm Central on Saturday. We were only 3 donors short of our 20-donor goal. Our thanks to Augustine in Auburn, California who gave $25 as well as Elisabeth in Waterloo, Ontario, Canada and Karen in Waterford, Wisconsin --  both of whom gave $50, and Daniel in Mayflower, Arkansas who pledged $8 per month for 12 months for a gift of $96. We're grateful to God for Leasa in Simpsonville, South Carolina, George in Edinburgh, Indiana, and Woody in Sparks, Nevada – each of whom gave $100 as well as Laura in Millstadt, Illinois and Kerry and Rosana in San Antonio, Texas – both of whom gave $200. And we were touched by the generosity of Derrick in Evans, Georgia who gave $250, Justin and Oliver in Grover Beach, California who pledged $25/month for 12 months for a gift of $300, Eric in Warren, Minnesota who also pledged $25 per month for 12 months for a gift of $300, Matt, Amanda, Elijah, Malachi, and Samuel in Greencastle, Indiana who gave $450, Shy in Ingalls, Indiana who pledged $50 per month for 12 months for a total gift of $600, Aaron in Fort Bragg, North Carolina who gave $1,000, Katie in Hutchinson, Kansas who gave $1,000, and Scooter in Naples, Florida who will match those last two $1,000 donations with another $2,000 gift of his own. Those 17 Worldview listeners gave a total of $6,821. Ready for our new grand total? Drum roll please.  (Drum roll sound effect) $38,892.20 (People clapping and cheering sound effect)   That means we fell $22,857.80 short of our $61,750 mid-point goal to stay on the air and fund our 6-member Worldview newscast team for another fiscal year. Toward this Friday, June 20th's goal of $92,625, we need to raise $53,732.80. Remember, if you are one of the 4 final people who give a one-time gift of $1,000, Scooter in Naples, Florida will match you with a corresponding $1,000 gift.  Now, if that happens today, Monday, June 16th we will have raised an additional $8,000. In order to raise the remaining amount, I need to find 38 Worldview listeners who will pledge $50/month for 12 months for a gift of $600. And another 76 listeners to pledge $25/month for 12 months for a gift of $300. Has God placed it on your heart to be one of the Christian patriots to fund this unparalleled newscast which unashamedly cites relevant Scripture, includes compelling soundbites, and practical action steps to speak out for Biblical principles? Please, we need your help right now!  Go to TheWorldview.com and click on Give on the top right.   Click on the button that indicates a recurring monthly donation if that's your wish. I'll be honest. In my flesh, I'm getting very nervous indeed!  But, in my spirit, I confidently trust that God will prompt the right people to give generously to cover our annual budget.

Debbie Peterson, former mayor of Grover Beach, California, remains passionate about women's representation in public office. She's a first-hand witness to the troubling trend of women being discouraged from running due to the increase in online and in-person attacks. It's also true that many women don't want to work in a culture of confrontation or have their private lives picked apart in public. The result is fewer women pursuing political careers. Understanding the importance of diverse voices in decision-making, Debbie offers experience and advice supporting women contemplating a run for office. She emphasizes resilience and preparation, aiming to empower more women to overcome challenges and take on leadership roles. 

Hometown Radio 06/13/24 3:30p: Debbie Peterson updates us on the Grover Beach recall efforts

It's Tuesday, June 11th, A.D. 2024. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard at www.TheWorldview.com. I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) Colorado Christian baker dragged into court again Alliance Defending Freedom attorneys will be back in the Colorado Supreme Court next week in defense of Jack Phillips. The Christian baker has been under attack by homosexual activists since 2017.   This time, an attorney filed a lawsuit for Phillips' refusal to bake a cake celebrating a pseudo-gender transition. So far, 23 states, 6 Colorado legislators, and several free-speech advocates filed friend-of-the-court briefs in support of Phillips. Christian widow in India fears for her life A widow from India's Chhattisgarh State witnessed her husband's killing for his Christian faith last month. And now she fears for her own life and remains in hiding.   Jime Kawasi herself was treated at a hospital after the mob attack which included 20 villagers. In an interview with Morning Star News, she said, “I want to continue to follow and serve Jesus. It was for this Jesus that my husband was willing to be faithful to the point of death; I too will follow in his footsteps. Please pray for me. I need your prayers.” Is France moving right? Could France be migrating away from its leftist positions?  French President Emmanuel Macron announced new elections to take place on June 30 and July 7. Elections held over the weekend indicate that the right-leaning opposition party, National Rally, has gained some ground.   Both Italy and Germany leaned right over the most recent weekend elections as well. Federal judge: No requirement for prescription for Abortion Pill An American federal judge struck down a North Carolina law limiting the distribution of the Abortion Kill Pill Mifepristone, reports The Associated Press. The order issued last week removes the requirement of a doctor's prescription for the pills, as well as the disallowance of mailing the pill. U.S. District Judge Catherine Eagles wrote that the North Carolina law, Senate Bill 20, was in unlawful conflict with the authority of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. Tony Evans stepped down over sin Author and pastor Tony Evans has announced to his Dallas, Texas church he will be stepping down from ministry due to sin. In a statement released on the Oak Cliff Bible Church website, Evans said, “When we fall short of that standard due to sin, we are required to repent and restore our relationship with God. A number of years ago, I fell short of that standard. I am, therefore, required to apply the same biblical standard of repentance and restoration to myself that I have applied to others. “While I have committed no crime, I did not use righteous judgment in my actions. In light of this, I am stepping away from my pastoral duties and am submitting to a healing and restoration process established by the elders. This will afford me a needed time of spiritual recovery and healing.” Southern Baptists debate whether women should pastor churches The Southern Baptist convention convenes this week in Indianapolis, Indiana. At issue is a proposed amendment forbidding women pastors. Southern Baptist President J.D. Greer has registered his opposition to the amendment because of its effect on minority churches who refer to some women in their congregations as pastors. Dr. Albert Mohler has affirmed his support for the amendment. Listen. MOHLER: “Some churches are quite honestly, straightforwardly telling us that they are basically out of sync with the Southern Baptist Convention on the issue of women preaching and women holding a pastoral office. … “It's really important we recognize that this is an issue of Biblical obedience. This is not just a question of Biblical interpretation. And the moment we begin defining some issues as just matters of Biblical interpretation, the question becomes well, ‘Which are those?' Obviously, the liberal Protestant denominations have put basically everything in that category. I think Southern Baptists know better than that.” 1 Timothy 3:1-2 instructs us that “This is a faithful saying: If a man desires the position of a bishop, he desires a good work. A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, temperate, sober-minded, of good behavior…” Trump's guilty verdict has not affected polls The guilty verdict for Donald Trump in that Manhattan court room has not affected the polls any. The most recent Quinnipiac University poll taken in the critical swing state of Georgia found that 22 percent of voters were less likely to vote for President Trump after the verdict, and 23 percent were more likely to vote for him.   The former president is still ahead in Georgia by 5 percentage points. Exactly 50 percent of those polled agreed with the verdict. Wheel of Fortune's Pat Sajak retires AUDIO: “Wheel of Fortune.” After 8,000 episodes and 41 seasons, Pat Sajak has said goodbye to the game show “Wheel of Fortune.” SAJAK: “Well, the time has come to say goodbye. I have a few thanks and acknowledgements before I go. And I want to start with all of you watching out there. It's been an incredible privilege to be invited into millions of homes night after night, year after year, decade after decade. And I've always felt that the privilege came with a responsibility to keep this daily half hour a safe place for family fun, no social issues, no politics, nothing embarrassing I hope, just a game. “But gradually, it became more than that. A place where kids learn their letters, where people from other countries hone their English skills, where families came together along with friends and neighbors and entire generations. “What an honor to have played even a small part in all that. Thank you for allowing me into your lives.” Sajak's final episode ends this Friday. Pat Sajak is also chairman of the board of trustees for the conservative Hillsdale College. 6-year-old girl trusted Christ before deadly accident Fox News reports on a 6-year-old New Jersey girl who died after a freak accident. Tragically, Lucy Morgan was impaled in the head by a flying shard from a broken badminton racket.  Her father, Jesse Morgan, a pastor at Green Pond Bible Chapel in Rockaway, New Jersey, testified that, "Four weeks ago [Lucy] asked . . . how to be with God and be saved.” Her mother explained the way of salvation. “She went to her room and prayed to God to forgive her. She believed in Jesus' death and resurrection." Fox News carried a portion of Lucy's prayer journal: “God is so amazing. He is the true God, and He died on the cross for our sins.”  Be sure to check out the full story, the heart-rending, powerful testimony about Lucy's death at Jesse Morgan's blog site which we have linked through our transcript today at www.TheWorldview.com. Psalm 116:15 says, “Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of His saints.” 15 Worldview listeners donated $5,345 And finally, toward our goal of raising $57,100 by this weekend to help fund the six-member staff of The Worldview for another year, 15 Worldview listeners stepped up to the plate.  Our thanks to Augustine in Auburn, California, Jo Beth in Chubbuck, Idaho, and Sandra in Shiloh, North Carolina – each of whom gave $25.

Those 15 Worldview donors gave $5,345. Ready for our new grand total? Drum roll please.

What a plot! And it's all true. Debbie Peterson was urged by friends and neighbors to run for City Council and later for Mayor in Grover Beach, CA. Grover Beach would appear to be a sleepy coastal town. But as Debbie got involved and invoked some common sense (not to mention a forensic audit) it became clear that corruption was rampant. Debbie's curiosity sent her down a rabbit hole of kickbacks, lies and outright larceny. Throw in some drugs, an FBI raid and a local history of criminality, suicide, and you have the story of this small town. Debbie's book, is available on Amazon.   Coming Soon! The Book. Bump In The Road, Stories of Courage, Hope and Resilience, an inspiring anthology of overcoming life's bumps. Because everyone needs a bit of inspiration.   Learn more at Follow Bump on:

Let's not play pretend here; with power comes an abuse of that power. It doesn't need to be gambling on human suffering for personal profit, it can be as simple as suggesting you should be seated first or get a discount just because you have a specific job. If you've earned respect, those things might just happen. But as my expert today explains, asking for that special treatment may not be simply immoral, but actually illegal. My guest today is Debbie Peterson. Debbie was the first directly elected, female mayor of Grover Beach, California, and is the author of "The Happiest Corruption: Sleaze, Lies, and Suicide". The title alone should hook you enough to listen to this episode if nothing else. An important note: This episode relates to local, smaller government. It's not about how messed up our congress and senate can be. I'll have to find a different guest for that topic, as well as how governments function in other countries. Anyone with experience or a recommendation can reach out to me at DumbEnoughPodcast@Gmail.Com Also, sorry for the less clean than normal audio on my end. This new studio space is turning out to be a lot more work than I had originally thought it would be. Nevertheless! I'm fixing it and it shouldn't give us more issues going forward. This is a lofty goal, but Let's end government corruption! Thank you for listening to this episode of the Just Dumb Enough Podcast!

The decisions made by local, state and federal government have a direct impact on our lives. But while women make up 51% of the population in the US, only 28% of the people in political office are female. So, what can we do to make our system a true representative government? Debbie Peterson began her career as an award-winning entrepreneur in Scotland. When she moved home to California, Debbie realized that her business experience could help her community, and she rose through the ranks of local government in Grover Beach. During her tenure as planning commissioner, councilmember and finally mayor, Debbie discovered unthinkable corruption and set out to bring it down. She uncovers the true crime story in her book, The Happiest Corruption: Sleaze, Lies & Suicide in a California Beach Town. On this episode of Wickedly Smart Women, Debbie joins Anjel to share her journey to becoming an entrepreneur in Scotland and explain how she attracted a VC firm to buy her company when she returned to the US. Debbie describes what inspired her transition from business to local government and discusses the widespread corruption she discovered among politicians and government officials in the city of Grover Beach. Listen in to understand Debbie's passion for helping more women enter the political arena and learn how you can get involved in making your community a more beautiful, safe and rewarding place for everyone!
