A call to intercession. Could what happened to Charlie Kirk have been stopped? Why does it seem as if evil and witches have more power than most Christians? Could it be God has made the execution of HIs will on earth depend on the will of man? "Upon this rock I will build My church; and the gates of Hades will not overpower it. I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; and whatever you bind on earth shall have been bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall have been loosed in heaven." -Matthew 16:18-19. So God has given us the power and authority, but are we using it? When we bind, we have the power to limit Satan's power on the earth.

In this episode with Anju Jaggi, we discuss non-traumatic shoulder instability. We cover:What predicts which patients will respond well to physiotherapy?Mental health and self efficacy in this populationGoals of physiotherapy in individuals with this conditionExercise prescription in this populationRealistic expectations for recoveryThis episode is closely tied to Anju's Practical she did with us. With Practicals you can see exactly how top experts assess and treat specific conditions – so you can become a better clinician, faster.
We're living at a time of tremendous INSTABILITY and UNCERTAINTY. And, when facing the unknown, we tend to respond with fear and with faith. Fear says that we're not sure of the outcome, but we have a feeling it's going to be bad. Faith says that we're not sure of the outcome, but that we know God is with us and for us and will take care of us. So we (simply) take another step. Another breath. In this message, Max Vanderpool spells out why God's people have ALWAYS had a hard time trusting God - and why, despite how we might feel internally - God CAN be trusted.
In episode 373 of The Physical Performance Show, sports medicine expert Dr Jay Hertel shares an in-depth exploration of chronic ankle instability in athletes. Drawing on his extensive clinical and research experience, Dr Hertel discusses the prevalence, consequences, and complex rehabilitation of ankle sprains.

While the devil was tempting Jesus in the wilderness, he offered to give Jesus all the kingdoms of this world. Did the enemy have possession of all the kingdoms of the world when Jesus physically walked the earth? And how much control over the world does the devil have now?

McCausland described the Gaza ceasefire as precarious, lacking discussion or plan for Hamas disarmament, which he views as the necessary "red line" for stability. He criticized the Pentagon's new policy blocking journalists from soliciting unauthorized information as an attempt by Secretary Hegseth to control information flow and increase opacity. 1560

He noted the political turmoil in Beijing, highlighted by uncertainty over Xi Jinping's APEC attendance. This instability is abnormal and reinforces China's unstable political foundation. Yates suggested this instability should push allies to rely more on the first island chain as a reliable balance. 945-1000 Rick Fisher Reports on China's Reusable Rocket Deluge and US Moon Race Political Pressures Rick Fisher with John Batchelor Rick Fisher reported that China has 27 reusable space launch vehicle projects underway, predicting a "deluge" of cheap space services to compete with SpaceX. He noted that President Trump is alarmed that China may win the second race to the moon. Trump pressured NASA Administrator Duffy to open the Human Landing System competition to Blue Origin, signaling that politics and winning the race are paramount, regardless of competitor viability. China's first reusable booster test could occur before year-end. SECOND HOUR 10-1015 Colonel Newsham Discusses Promising US-Australia Rare Earth Deal and Canberra's Dual Strategy Toward China Grant Newsham with John Batchelor Colonel Grant Newsham discussed the promising US-Australia rare earth deal, noting Australia has vast mining capabilities to provide an alternative to China's dominance.

Beijing aims to boost the economy via consumption, but the Chinese system is structurally built to communicate only with producers, not average consumers. Furthermore, the deflationary environment encourages people to delay purchases, waiting for lower prices. She views the Five-Year Plans mainly as an "amazing relic" used internally to motivate the sprawling government bureaucracies. 1045-1100 General Zhang Youxia Allegedly Leads PLA Purges Amid Internal CCP Power Struggle General Blaine Holt with John Batchelor General Blaine Holt reported that the purge of nine flag officers was allegedly executed by General Zhang Youxia, not Xi Jinping. Zhang, a top general, began the purges out of fear of becoming a target himself, indicating an internal "civil war" within the CCP factions opposing Xi. Zhang has secured elite military units loyal to him and the People's Liberation Army (PLA), rather than solely the Party, stabilizing the military amidst the turmoil. Zhang's life is at risk if Xi prevails.THIRD HOUR 1100-1115 Peter Berkowitz Analyzes Precarious Gaza Ceasefire and Deep Internal Political Tensions in Israel Peter Berkowitz with John Batchelor Peter Berkowitz stated the Gaza ceasefire is precarious and phase one is incomplete until all deceased hostages' remains are returned, aligning with Israeli public and governmental sentiment. Hamas may be stalling negotiations to rearm. Berkowitz noted sharp internal tensions in Israel, driven by opposition to Netanyahu, resentment over judicial reform, and economic exhaustion from military service. He finds it unlikely that the peace plan, which requires Hamas disarmament, will be fully realized. 1115-1130 Peter Berkowitz Analyzes Precarious Gaza Ceasefire and Deep Internal Political Tensions in Israel Peter Berkowitz with John Batchelor Peter Berkowitz stated the Gaza ceasefire is precarious and phase one is incomplete until all deceased hostages' remains are returned, aligning with Israeli public and governmental sentiment.

He called the Artemis plan an "unwieldy management disaster" designed haphazardly to give the SLS rocket a mission. The political push to beat China by 2028 creates a dangerous "one-time stunt." Zimmerman argues the private sector (SpaceX) is the real future of US space endeavors. 1245-100 AM Bob Zimmerman Criticizes NASA's Artemis Lunar Program as a "Management Disaster" Focused on Beating China Bob Zimmerman with John Batchelor Bob Zimmerman criticized NASA interim administrator Sean Duffy for focusing on SpaceX being "behind schedule," distracting from NASA's own delay of the Artemis mission to 2028 at the earliest.

Gaza Ceasefire and Regional Instability in the Middle East Jonathan Schanzer, Foundation for Defense of Democracies, with John Batchelor Schanzer analyzes the Gaza ceasefire, noting Hamas is deliberately slow-rolling the return of bodies to maintain leverage. New regional tensions are rising, including reports of Egypt moving aggressive offensive weapons into the Sinai and Turkey calling for a pan-Islamic offensive against Israel. Schanzer notes that internal power struggles between tribes and a weakening Hamas could lead to political fragmentation in Gaza. 1915

Rebecca Lemov is the author of The Instability of Truth: Brainwashing, Mind Control, and Hyperpersuasion, whose work explores how people are persuaded, manipulated, and sometimes brainwashed. In this conversation, Amanda and Rebecca unpack why intelligence doesn't protect us from influence, how moments of “ungrounding” make us vulnerable to brainwashing, and why shame keeps many survivors silent.

Deliverance is a spiritual house cleaning. We are responsible for 3 areas. 1. Personally. 2. Getting witchcraft out of your family. 3. Purging the Land of Evil. God means for witchcraft to be destroyed and completely removed from your life. And it's not just evil that gets us in trouble. It is when we try to mix good and evil together. Comprise or agreement with the enemy at any level leaves an open door for the enemy. In Acts 19 they destroyed all the witchcraft books and objects by fire. Even objects from witchcraft must be removed. God wants and is willing to set you completely free, but witchcraft has to be completely cut out of your life.
HEADLINE: China's Predicament in the Middle East and Domestic Economic Instability GUEST NAME: General Blaine Holt SUMMARY: General Blaine Holt analyzes China's strategic challenges, noting Beijing is concerned about losing access to critical oil and gas resources as US leadership advances the Abraham Accords. China's previous regional deals, like the Saudi-Iran agreement, lacked substance compared to US business commitments. Holt suggests internal pressures might lead Iran toward the Accords. Domestically, China faces accelerating deflation and uncertainty regarding Xi Jinping's leadership due to four competing factions before the fourth plenum. 1914
Gold has been surging this year—but what's behind the rise, and what should investors keep in mind before buying in?Precious metals, such as gold and silver, have long fascinated investors, particularly in times of economic uncertainty. But are they wise investments for today? If so, how should we approach them? Mark Biller joins us today to talk about investing in precious metals.Mark Biller is Executive Editor and Senior Portfolio Manager at Sound Mind Investing, an underwriter of Faith & Finance. The Surge in Gold and SilverGold's remarkable rise has captured headlines again, now up over $4,000 an ounce—up from about $2,600 at the start of 2025. That's a 50% gain this year on top of last year's 26% surge. Silver has jumped even higher, up roughly 60%, while gold mining stocks have more than doubled.What's behind this stunning rally? Several key forces are at play. Global central banks have been buying gold aggressively, a trend that accelerated after the U.S. froze Russia's dollar reserves in 2022. This event shook confidence in the U.S. dollar as a neutral reserve currency. Add in fears of currency debasement stemming from massive government spending since the COVID pandemic, and gold suddenly looks like a safer store of value.As investors around the world look for stability, gold—the “4,000-year-old alternative currency”—is once again shining.To understand today's prices, it helps to look at history. Adjusted for inflation, gold recently surpassed its all-time high from January 1980. Silver, meanwhile, is nearing $50 an ounce—the peak it hit in both 1980 and 2011—but still lags behind those highs when adjusted for inflation.These cycles remind investors that precious metals often move in waves—soaring during manias, then enduring long pullbacks. After its 1980 peak, silver prices dropped nearly 90%; after 2011, they fell by about 70%. Understanding those cycles helps set realistic expectations and temper “gold rush” enthusiasm.Gold as a Store of ValueUnlike stocks or bonds, gold doesn't produce income or dividends. That makes it tricky to value—but also unique. It's not a productive asset; it's a preservative one.For centuries, an ounce of gold could buy a fine men's suit. The same holds true today, illustrating its enduring purchasing power. Gold's real role isn't to generate profit—it's to store value when currencies lose theirs.Viewed this way, gold functions as an alternative currency to the world's paper money systems. As inflation rises and confidence in traditional currencies wavers, gold's relative stability stands out.Gold's appeal intensifies during uncertainty. Whether it's inflation, war, or financial instability, investors turn to gold as a hedge. While Americans rarely consider regime changes, history is filled with nations where financial systems collapsed, and gold helped preserve wealth across transitions.Even in less dramatic times, when governments respond to crises by printing more money, gold tends to perform well. As fear increases, so does the appetite for precious metals.Gold, Silver, and Mining Stocks: Knowing the DifferenceEach part of the precious metals market serves a different role:Gold is the foundation—a global monetary metal and store of value. It's what central banks buy, and it tends to be more stable.Silver is both a monetary and an industrial metal. Its demand fluctuates more with the economy, primarily due to uses in electronics and solar panels. That makes it more volatile—but also more accessible to smaller investors.Mining Stocks are speculative. While they can surge when gold prices rise, they're also risky. Over the long term, mining stocks have underperformed, so investors should approach them with caution.How to Invest Wisely in Precious MetalsWe recommend a balanced approach: Physical gold and silver provide direct ownership and long-term stability. However, storage and security are concerns, so it's best to keep this allocation small—around 5% of your portfolio.ETFs (Exchange-Traded Funds) offer convenience and liquidity. They're ideal for active management and diversification.Combining both approaches provides flexibility and peace of mind—anchoring part of your wealth in tangible assets while keeping another portion readily accessible for use.As with any investment, precious metals should be approached with discipline and perspective. They're best viewed as part of a long-term diversification strategy—not a get-rich-quick play.To learn more about investing wisely in gold and silver, Sound Mind Investing has released a free special report for Faith & Finance listeners.

It's well built but always needs work. Thankfully, I can handle many of the repairs myself, as I come from a family of electricians and real estate professionals. The issue is, I can't seem to deduct much of what I do on my taxes, even though I spend a lot of time maintaining the property. I also sometimes barter with family and friends, helping them with projects in exchange for their help. Is there a legal way for me to charge for some of my time or count this work toward deductions?I've got about $7,000 to $8,000 in credit card debt, and I'll be leaving my job soon. I have a 401(k) with a balance similar to mine, and I know that taking it out early means incurring taxes and penalties. Would it make sense to cash out my 401(k) to pay off my credit cards, or would you recommend an alternative approach?Resources Mentioned:Faithful Steward: FaithFi's New Quarterly Magazine (Become a FaithFi Partner)Sound Mind Investing (SMI)Inflation History: The Rise and Fall of the U.S. Dollar (Free Report by Sound Mind Investing)Christian Credit CounselorsWisdom Over Wealth: 12 Lessons from Ecclesiastes on MoneyLook At The Sparrows: A 21-Day Devotional on Financial Fear and AnxietyRich Toward God: A Study on the Parable of the Rich FoolFind a Certified Kingdom Advisor (CKA) or Certified Christian Financial Counselor (CertCFC)FaithFi App Remember, you can call in to ask your questions most days at (800) 525-7000.

This week, Vee and Elle unpack everything couples should talk about before stepping into a shared play space—from emotional boundaries to desires, jealousy, and how to reconnect afterward, using a conversation framework they learned on an ISTA retreat. From collars and rituals to new relationship energy (NRE), aka limerence, and the messy middle between fantasy and reality—Vee goes deep on her experience. Whether you're new to the lifestyle, playing with a new partner, or redefining your relationship agreements, this episode is packed with real talk, practical tools, and deeply personal moments.RDBSM (Relationship, Desires, Boundaries, Sexual Health, Meaning).

(6:13)Conscious Relating: redefining your relationships as they fit into your life. (7:26)D: Desires: playing together with another couple or a female unicorn. (13:31)B: Boundaries: the idea of men's cum as ownership leading to wanting to be there for your partner's orgasm. (13:57)NRE (New Relationship Energy) vs Love: WTF is limerence? And how do you know when it's evolved from new relationship energy to actual true romantic love? Instability vs stability. (17:14)Boundaries contd: Not playing separately, keeping play and connection in the container of the scene or the play party, and then “keep it in the group text”. Locking in and taking the performative aspect out of exhibitionism. (20:37)M: Meaning: creating a container to explore safely within the time boundaries of the party. (26:30)Traffic Light System: What to do in the moment if you're feeling activated or jealous? Borrowing from BDSM scenes to have a safe word or traffic light system in more traditional scenes. (29:15)A: Aftercare: going home together, reconnecting, and talking over breakfast? (33:13)Post-Party: Back to School theme and showing ownership by wearing a collar.

Who do you place your soul next to? Soul ties either bring bondage or joy. Healthy soul ties should have a peaceful and settling influence on you. Jonathan loved David as himself, and their souls were knit together. It is so important to understand how God set it up. We are to love God more than we love ourselves, and we are to love those God has placed in our lives the same as we love ourselves. If God is not included in your relationship or you love another person more or less than you love yourself, it will become unhealthy. Loving God with your heart, soul, and mind creates an emotional intimacy that fills every other relationship in your life, but loving something witchy or dark will bring in emotional destruction. It is a necessity to have the Lord wrap the whole thing together because it is impossible to stand and endure in life without His great love.

CBS EYE ON THE WORLD WITH JOHN BATCHELOR THE SHOW BEGINS IN THE DOUBTS ABOUT THE HAMAS DEAL... BARCELONA 1899 10-9-25 FIRST HOUR 9-915 The Genesis of Hamas, the Failure of "Land for Peace," and Theological Jihad Cliff May discussed the failure of the "land for peace" policy following Israel's 2005 withdrawal from Gaza and the violent takeover by Hamas. Hamas, representing the Muslim Brotherhood and born from theological jihad, views its mission as the destruction of Israel to establish an emirate. May emphasized that any cessation of hostilities is merely a hudna (truce), used by Hamas to rebuild for future battles, not a lasting peace. 915-930 Javier Milei's Dilemma: Midterms, the Wobbling Peso, and the Push for Dollarization Mary Anastasia O'Grady analyzed Argentinian President Javier Milei's economic and political dilemma as he faces midterms with a wobbling peso leading up to the October 26th elections. The peso is suffering due to fears that the opposition Peronist coalition will block Milei's reforms. O'Grady advocated for dollarization as the solution to stabilize the currency, reduce interest rates, and impose fiscal discipline on reckless spending. Powerful financial special interests prefer the status quo of an unanchored peso. 930-945 The Valdai Conference, Russia's Global South Strategy, and Warnings to the West Anatol Lieven discussed the Valdai conference in Sochi, where President Putin projected confidence but issued stark warnings against the US providing Tomahawk missiles to Ukraine and Europeans committing "piracy" by seizing Russian cargos. Attendees focused on the BRICS group and the Global South as Russia pursues alternative alliances. Russians express disappointment in Donald Trump's failure to deliver peace and worry about the war's slow progress. The conflict is fundamentally viewed by Russians as a struggle with NATO. 945-1000 The Valdai Conference, Russia's Global South Strategy, and Warnings to the West Anatol Lieven discussed the Valdai conference in Sochi, where President Putin projected confidence but issued stark warnings against the US providing Tomahawk missiles to Ukraine and Europeans committing "piracy" by seizing Russian cargos.

THIRD HOUR 1100-1115 Marcus Tullius Cicero's Rise, Corruption Trials, and the Catiline Conspiracy Professor Josiah Osgood profiled the Roman "new man" orator Marcus Tullius Cicero and his dramatic rise through corruption trials and political intrigue. Cicero established his career by solving the murder case of Roscius and prosecuting corrupt Sicilian governor Verres for theft. His career climaxed with the suppression of the Catiline Conspiracy, elevating him as a patriot. However, Cicero made a grave political error by executing conspirators without trial, a move opposed by Julius Caesar. 1115-1130 Marcus Tullius Cicero's Rise, Corruption Trials, and the Catiline Conspiracy Professor Josiah Osgood profiled the Roman "new man" orator Marcus Tullius Cicero and his dramatic rise through corruption trials and political intrigue.

FOURTH HOUR 12-1215 Fiscal Irresponsibility, the Cost of Debt, and the Loss of Welfare Reform Lessons Veronique De Rugy of the Mercatus Center criticized Washington's fiscal irresponsibility and the mounting cost of debt, arguing that enormous deficits create an anti-growth drag on the economy. She noted that failing to cut spending is a future tax hike. De Rugy lamented the loss of lessons from the 1996 welfare reform, which showed that work requirements reduced poverty, as politicians now prioritize spending checks over fiscal prudence.D 1215-1230 Deepseek's AI Claims, Huawei's Chip Ambitions, and US/China Tech Competition Chris Riegel analyzed the escalating tech competition between the US and China, focusing on Chinese AI firm Deepseek and noting its claims of superiority were potentially misleading due to non-transparency and reliance on Nvidia technology. He discussed Huawei's chip fabrication efforts and ambitions, concluding that US sanctions, particularly restricting ASML tools, keep China one to one and a half generations behind. The US scale advantage, exemplified by investments like Colossus, remains significant in the AI competition. 1230-1245 The Artemis Program, the New Space Race with China, and the Role of Elon Musk Mark Whittington discussed the Artemis program and the new space race with China, emphasizing that the US is driven back to the moon by competition with the People's Republic of China. The moon is viewed as a source for mining and a refueling stepping stone to Mars, with Elon Musk's SpaceX playing a central role. Co-host David Livingston questioned the engineering challenge of SpaceX's Starship and life support systems for Mars. The program's sustainability depends on phasing out the costly, expendable Space Launch System (SLS). 1245-100 AM The Artemis Program, the New Space Race with China, and the Role of Elon Musk Mark Whittington discussed the Artemis program and the new space race with China, emphasizing that the US is driven back to the moon by competition with the People's Republic of China.

As of October 8th, 2025, the U.S. government is shut down. Lawmakers in Washington are deadlocked over federal spending — House Republicans pushing for deeper cuts and stronger border security, while Democrats are pushing back, warning that essential services and federal paychecks could be delayed if an agreement isn't reached soon. It's another reminder of how divided and fragile things can feel politically in our country. Meanwhile, in the Middle East, this week marks two years since the October 7th attacks- when Hamas terrorists murdered around 1,200 people in Israel and took over 250 hostages. Since then, Israel's war in Gaza has devastated the region- with tens of thousands killed, millions displaced, and deep global tension about how peace can ever return to that part of the world. So in this episode, we're talking about the instability of our times — in politics, in war, in culture — and how Jesus' words in Mark 13 remind us that none of this takes God by surprise. Nations will rise and fall, wars will come and go, but His kingdom remains unshaken.

HEADLINE: Latin American Political Volatility and US Engagement GUEST NAME: Evan Ellis SUMMARY: John Batchelor speaks with Evan Ellis about political instability across Latin America. In Argentina, peso volatility reflects investor doubts about President Milei's survival following election losses and corruption scandals. Despite strong economic fundamentals (poverty reduced to 32%, 3% growth), the US Treasury provided unprecedented support with a $20 billion swap agreement. In Venezuela, Maduro's illegitimate regime lost overwhelmingly to Edmundo Gonzalez in July 2024. The US deployed eight ships and considers limited strikes against the "Cartel de los Soles" leadership. Brazil's Lula might offer Maduro asylum to resolve the crisis while opposing US pressure. Colombia faces chaos under President Petro, whose failed "total peace" policies increased violence. After Petro urged US soldiers to disobey orders, America pulled his diplomatic visa, damaging security cooperation. Mexico's President Sheinbaum enjoys 78% popularity and achieved a 20% homicide reduction. The critical priority remains USMCA renegotiation, preventing Chinese companies from using Mexico as a US market pass-through. 1907 BOGOTA
