This episode of NDS Chronicles brings together listener-submitted paranormal testimonies involving mantis beings, demonic attacks, haunted houses, shadow people, spiritual warfare, and possible divine intervention. The Raven is joined by Matthew from Straight Bible as they examine each encounter through a Christian worldview while mixing serious Biblical discernment with trademark NDS humor.The first testimony follows Dallas Spitfire through a disturbing relationship that escalates from gaslighting and violent behavior to revelations about a haunted house, shadow people, a flying Batman figure, occult coloring imagery, and a Medusa-like interdimensional demon he first encountered as a child. The conversation also explores marriage, divorce, relationship red flags, polyamory, spiritual oppression, and the danger of ignoring patterns that point toward demonic influence.Next, a listener describes using ketamine, Molly, meditation, alchemical imagery, and undefined spirituality before experiencing a terrifying demonic manifestation. The hosts explain why Eastern-style meditation, astral projection, New Age practices, and praying to an undefined “god” can open dangerous spiritual doors.Another testimony recounts hearing his mother's voice call him out from beneath a car seconds before the jack collapsed. The event is compared with Samuel hearing God through the voice of Eli in 1 Samuel 3, raising questions about divine protection and how God may communicate.HGTV Holly then shares a chilling account of tinnitus, whispering voices, mysterious spiritual “downloads,” thyroid cancer, and the sudden end of the activity after surgery. The episode closes with a sleep paralysis encounter involving a tall mantis being, an astral body, Reiki, temporary supernatural healing, familiar spirits, and the Biblical interpretation of so-called alien entities.Which testimony stood out most to you? Do mantis beings, shadow people, and New Age entities represent different phenomena—or the same demonic deception wearing different masks?

It's Friday, July 31st, A.D. 2026. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Adam McManus Syrians in America have to leave the country The expiration of Temporary Protected Status for Syrians in America this week has renewed attention on the fragile security environment facing civilians in Syria, particularly Christians who remain vulnerable 18 months after the fall of Bashar al-Assad's dictatorship in this 87% Muslim country, reports International Christian Concern. Temporary Protected Status is a humanitarian immigration designation that allows nationals of countries experiencing armed conflict to remain and work legally in the United States for a limited period. The designation does not provide a pathway to permanent residency but shields recipients from deportation while conditions in their home country are deemed unsafe for return. In December 2024, rebel forces, led by Ahmed al-Sharaa, forced al-Assad from power.  Al-Sharaa's group had previously been associated with Muslim jihadist movements, including al-Qaeda. Before the Syrian civil war, Christians represented a significant minority of Syria's population concentrated in Damascus — where the Apostle Paul was converted on the street. While Christians have not experienced the same level of targeted mass violence as other groups, there has been harassment and attacks on Christian communities. President Trump floats temporarily pulling Blache nomination to be AG President Donald Trump said on July 30 that he was willing to temporarily withdraw his nomination of Todd Blanche to be Attorney General until next year, if two Republican senators continued to withhold their support, reports The Epoch Times. Blanche's nomination has been held up in the Senate Judiciary Committee after Republican Senators John Cornyn of Texas and Thom Tillis of North Carolina said they would not back bringing it to the floor for a full vote. Those two votes are necessary for the nomination to advance. Earlier this year, both Cornyn and Tillis lost their bid for re-election after President Trump endorsed their opponents during the primaries. The president now intends to wait them out. In the meantime, Blanche will remain the acting head of the Department of Justice. You can express your objection to the senators for dragging their feet by calling Senator John Cornyn at 202-224-2934 and Senator Thom Tillis of North Carolina at 202-224-6342. You can call 24 hours a day/7 days a week and leave a voicemail. Dr. Fauci invoked Fifth Amendment 90 times in GOP-led committee In a hearing of the Senate's Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee on July 29th, Dr. Anthony Fauci, the former director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, announced in his opening statement that he would invoke the Fifth Amendment and not answer any questions about his culpability in a cover-up about the source of the COVID-19 virus or what happened subsequently. Listen. FAUCI: “Members of the committee, I served at the NIH for over 54 years, 38 of those as director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases. Over that period, I proved that I believe in and respect the value of legitimate congressional oversight. In fact, I testified before and/or briefed Senate and House committees well over 200 times over those 38 years. During and after the COVID pandemic, I have appeared multiple times for hearings in the Senate and the House, usually under oath, and sat for several days-long, transcribed, sworn interviews answering questions about the very issues that are now the subject of this hearing. “However, given Senator [Rand] Paul's obvious obsession with calling for my prosecution, his repeated slanderous comments about me, and recently his publicly releasing my unredacted personal diary aimed at embarrassing and intimidating me, the only conclusion I can reach is that the sole reason he is calling me before this committee is to get me to say something, anything, that could vindicate his repeated public pledges that I end up, in his words, ‘behind bars'. “Any reasonable person who has followed his unhinged obsession with me would readily come to the same conclusion. Therefore, although it pains me to do so because of the respect I have for the legislative branch of government and my decades-long record of cooperating with Congress, under the advice of my attorneys, I will invoke my right, under the Fifth Amendment of the Constitution, to refrain from answering your questions.” Over the course of his time in front of the Senate Committee, Dr. Fauci invoked the Fifth Amendment a whopping 111 times, reports Fox News. Dr. Fauci stonewalled Senator Rand Paul numerous times Dr. Anthony Fauci repeatedly stonewalled Republican Senator Rand Paul of Kentucky, the Chairman of the Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee. The senator started with asking about former President Joe Biden's bizarre “full and unconditional” pardon of Dr. Fauci. PAUL:  “As a member of the White House Coronavirus Task Force, or the White House COVID-19 Response Team, or as Chief Medical Advisor to the President, have you refused this pardon? Or do you have any reason to believe this full and unconditional pardon, this grant of immunity, would somehow require you to plead the Fifth Amendment?” FAUCI: “On the advice of counsel, I respectfully decline to answer, based upon my rights under the Fifth Amendment of the Constitution.” PAUL: “Based on the facts presented, I'm going to direct you to answer the questions. The committee has issued a valid subpoena. They have requested your presence here. The questions are very pertinent to your decision making as head of [the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases], as well as a chief advisor to the president, do you still refuse to answer the questions?” FAUCI: “On the advice of counsel, I respectfully decline to answer, based upon my rights under the Fifth Amendment of the Constitution.” PAUL:  “Were you ever made aware of gain-of-function research on monkeypox being conducted at the National Bio Defense Analysis and Countermeasures Center, and back at Fort Detrick, [the center of the U.S. biological weapons program from 1943 to 1969]?” FAUCI: “On the advice of counsel, I respectfully decline to answer, based upon my rights under the Fifth Amendment of the Constitution.” PAUL:  “Dr. Fauci, did the CIA ever transfer funds to [the National Institutes of Health] under interagency agreement?” FAUCI: “On the advice of counsel, I respectfully decline to answer, based upon my rights under the Fifth Amendment of the Constitution.” And Senator Rand Paul took this parting shot. PAUL: “The chairman has denied your assertion of privilege and directed you to answer, but you nonetheless refuse and stand on privilege despite the existence of the pardon. The committee will have to consider after this hearing what appropriate action should be taken against you for the failure to testify after being directed to do so. “It's against the law to obstruct an investigation of Congress. There will be repercussions to your refusal to testify today.” Watchdog group: Medical groups should condemn transgender surgeries on minors The medical watchdog group, Do No Harm, is calling on 10 major medical associations to explicitly condemn transgender genital surgeries on minors, reports The Daily Signal. On July 29th, Do No Harm sent open letters to the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, the American Academy of Pediatrics, and the American Medical Association among others. In the letter, the group wrote, “Do No Harm, and its 54,000 members, are calling on your society to publicly reject genital surgery on minors for the purpose of producing [so-called] ‘gender transitions.' While this process is uncommon, we believe that it should never occur.” In Matthew 19:4, Jesus asked, “Have you not read that [God], who created them from the beginning, made them male and female?” Marijuana should not be reclassified as a less dangerous drug Marijuana could be reclassified as a less dangerous substance under federal law. Kevin Sabet, CEO of Smart Approaches to Marijuana and the former drug policy advisor for the Clinton, George W. Bush and Obama presidential administrations as well as President Trump's former U.S. Attorney General William Barr, thinks that would be a terrible idea. He said that reclassifying marijuana as a drug with accepted medical use and a lower risk of abuse than drugs subject to greater controls would be reckless. Sabet added, “The evidence presented at the hearing confirmed what decades of data have shown: Raw marijuana has no scientifically established medical value and carries a high risk of abuse. Today's marijuana is more dangerous than ever before. [Reclassifying] marijuana would create the false impression that it is safe, would reduce penalties for peddling the drug illegally and would give those who purvey it legally a huge tax windfall. That would be a disaster.”  The Department of Justice held a hearing last month to consider it at President Donald Trump's request. Despite the fact that President Trump is a teetotaler who eschews alcohol and drugs, he told his administration last December to push forward on easing marijuana restrictions, after an aggressive lobbying push by advocates including a cannabis CEO, a Florida sheriff, and a Mar-a-Lago member, the Wall Street Journal previously reported. Jim Daly, President of Focus on the Family, previously wrote, “Use of cannabis increases a person's chance of developing a bipolar disorder or schizophrenia by an average of 47%. It's also shown to significantly increase hallucinations and paranoia. “In fact, it's been determined that regular use of medical marijuana leads to a higher chance of heart attack, stroke and coronary artery disease. … If the established goal is to make America healthy and great again, this objective will not be reached by increasing access to poisonous pot.” In 1 Corinthians 6:19-20, the Apostle Paul asked, “Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, Who is in you, Whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore, honor God with your bodies.” Montana listeners like our brevity and updates on the persecuted Here at The Worldview in 5 Minutes, Winston and Heather Royal in Helena, Montana, wrote, “Adam, we appreciate the newscast because it's short, to the point, and from a Christian perspective. We appreciate hearing about our Christian brothers and sisters around the world. And we often listen to it at breakfast time. Thank you for your work!” Texas listener values boldness and truthfulness of The Worldview And Byron Barlowe in Plano, Texas wrote, “Adam, your newscast is something I've evangelized about for four reasons. I find the integration of a Biblical worldview into reporting the news to be effective and refreshing. Brevity matters more than ever. I also relate to the brevity of your newscast since Probe Ministries, a group I write for, produces a 3-minute daily feature. The candor among you and the two other writers of The Worldview is bold, truthful, and necessary. For example, I appreciate your reference to homosexual faux marriage instead of so-called ‘gay marriage.' Spade-calling is truth-telling and, when done in a gracious spirit led by the Spirit of God, can have good effect. You have a golden radio voice that emanates masculinity without undue forcefulness. Both women and men need that in the era of so-called ‘toxic masculinity' and the feminized Church which follows a confused culture. I just like it, too.” Byron, thanks for your encouragement as we use the instruments of our laptops and voice to communicate. 23 Worldview listeners gave $13,150.04 And finally, by Thursday night at 9:00pm Central, 23 Worldview listeners stepped up to the plate and invested their treasure to fund the 6-member team behind The Worldview for another year. Our thanks to Jerry in Angie, Louisiana and Thomas in Spartanburg, South Carolina – both of whom gave $25 as well as David in Wilmington, Ohio and Lori in Rockford, Illinois – both of whom gave $50. We appreciate Tony and Jennie in Palmdale, California who gave $80.04, Samuel in Greensboro, North Carolina who gave $90, and Jeanne in Thomasville, North Carolina and Ron in Orange Park, Florida – both of whom gave $100. We're grateful to God for Jody in Westerlo, New York and Kevin and Shelly in Columbus, Nebraska – both of whom gave $200, Glenn and Linda in Palmdale, California who gave $240, Marlowe in Freetown, Prince Edward Isalnd, Canada who gave $250, Kelly in Rio Rancho, New Mexico who pledged $25/month for 12 months for a gift of $300, and Vanessa in Templeton, California and Nicki in Carthage, Missouri – both of whom pledged $35/month for 12 months for a gift of $420. We were touched by the generosity of Serge in Simpsonville, South Carolina who gave $500, Charles and Pamela in Sierra Madre, California  who gave $500, Sean in Burlington, Wisconsin who gave $500, and Francesca in Rockaway Township, New Jersey who also gave $500. All four of them were matched by our friend in Naples, Florida who gave another $2,000. And we were blown away by Frederick in Gainesville, Florida who pledged $50/month for 12 months for a gift of $600, Jeff in Sevierville, Tennessee who gave $1,000, and Steve and Carla in Katy, Texas who gave $5,000. Wow! Those 23 gifts add up to $13,150.04. That's the largest total amount in a single day throughout this July 2026 fundraiser. Ready for our new grand total? Drum roll please. (drum roll sound effect) $94,270 (sound effect of people cheering) We need to raise $29,230 by midnight tonight, July 31st! That means in order to hit our final goal of $123,500 by midnight tonight, Friday, July 31st, God needs to prompt folks to give an astounding $29,230 in order for the 6-member Worldview newscast team to be fully funded for another year. So, as I've said over the last several days, if you have been waiting until the last minute, this … is … it!  We could really use your help.  The finish line is upon us. Perhaps in our national audience, there are three others, just like Steve and Carla in Katy, Texas, who feel led by God to give a one-time gift of $5,000. If that $15,000 comes in, we would need just 15 people to either give a one-time gift of $1,000 or make a monthly pledge of $83.33 for 12 months which adds up to $1,000. If all of that is way out of your budget, just give what you can. $10. $20. $30. Every dollar gets us closer. Now, if you can't give a dime, then pray. Pray that God would stir the hearts of those who can give! Just go to TheWorldview.com, click on Give, select the dollar amount, and make sure to click on the “recurring” button if that's your wish.  And remember this, if you want to continue your monthly pledge to The Worldview that you started prior to July 1, 2026, please let me know so we can count your generous ongoing gift toward our total.

On this week's show, host Tim Boyum and investigative reporter Jeffrey Billman get into the controversial world of hemp and marijuana.  Marijuana remains illegal in North Carolina, yet THC-infused products are legal in what is termed the "wild west" of hemp.  Billman shares what he learned from his three-part investigation for "The Assembly" into the complicated controversy that surrounds the industry, the politics and the legal system.

Former drug trafficker Justin Campos reveals how he built a multi-million-dollar marijuana operation by shipping large quantities of weed from California to Texas through USPS, UPS, and FedEx. In this episode, Justin explains how he entered the marijuana business, found suppliers connected to California's Emerald Triangle, operated a medical weed delivery service in Los Angeles, and moved thousands of pounds across state lines. He also breaks down how his custom jewelry business connected him with rappers and music-industry figures, including 50 Cent, Young Buck, G-Unit, Rick Ross, Ty Dolla $ign, and Tech N9ne. Justin describes accepting gold, diamonds, Rolexes, and custom jewelry as payment while trying to turn illegal drug money into legitimate income. The operation eventually attracted law-enforcement attention after suspicious bank deposits, intercepted cash shipments, surveillance, and text messages connected Justin to his Texas distributors. Authorities seized hundreds of thousands of dollars, and Justin ultimately received a seven-year prison sentence for money laundering. Go Support Justin!

Is marijuana as safe as many people believe? In this episode of Walk Don't Run to the Doctor, Miles Hassell MD takes a detailed look at the evidence surrounding marijuana use. The discussion explores the limited medical benefits, the growing body of research on potential health risks, and why lifestyle-based approaches may offer safer, more effective alternatives for many common conditions. The conversation covers marijuana's effects on mental health, addiction, brain function, driving safety, heart disease, pregnancy, human development, and long-term health outcomes. Whether you're considering marijuana for medical reasons or recreational use, this episode encourages you to look beyond marketing claims and make decisions based on evidence. Key Takeaways: The proven medical benefits of marijuana are limited and apply to relatively few conditions. Chronic marijuana use is associated with increased risks of anxiety, depression, addictive patterns, relationship disfunction, and impaired cognition. Marijuana use may increase the risk of car accidents, heart attacks, strokes, and psychiatric disorders in susceptible individuals. Today's marijuana products are significantly more potent than those available decades ago. Lifestyle changes, including nutrition, exercise, sleep, and stress management, may provide safer alternatives for many of the reasons people use marijuana. Understanding both the potential benefits and risks is essential before deciding to use marijuana and its associated products.

Send us Fan MailIs the country finally ready for a safe banking act that in effect legalizes cannabis businesses at the federal level?In recent years multiple bills doing essentially that were passed by the House of Representatives only to be buried in a Senate committee that never reported it out for a floor vote.There's a new House bill in play and this time may be the charm, says Terry Mendez, CEO of Safe Harbor and a past podcast guest.  Safe Harbor has provided the tools credit unions to offer cannabis banking services since it opened in 2015.  According to Safe Harbor, the current bill would:Bar federal banking regulators from prohibiting or discouraging banks from serving state-legal cannabis businessesBar regulators from terminating or limiting a bank's deposit insurance because it serves a cannabis clientCreate a safe harbor from criminal prosecution, liability, and asset forfeiture for banks and their officers/employees serving legitimate state-sanctioned cannabis businesses, while preserving banks' right to decline that businessExtend protection to ancillary businesses serving cannabis operators, including lawyers, landlords, and vendorsBy the way, the American Banking Association has come out in support of the act.  In a letter to Senate leaders ABA said the bill would “provide important legal and regulatory clarity” and “address a significant challenge facing American businesses, our communities, and the banks that serve them.”On the show Mendez elaborates on why he believes the bill has a good chance of becoming law.Listen up.Like what you are hearing?

How Changing Attitudes on Marijuana and Guns Are Shaping Supreme Court DecisionsI focus on the dramatic shifts in societal and legal attitudes toward drugs and gun rights in the United States. One concept discussed was the evolving perspective on marijuana use, highlighting how, just a few decades ago, the idea of legalizing or even normalizing marijuana use was unthinkable.A key theme that emerges was the intersection of changing drug policies with evolving Second Amendment jurisprudence, particularly in light of recent Supreme Court decisions. The discussion explores how both the acceptance of medical and recreational marijuana and significant rulings on gun ownership have transformed the legal landscape.Several points were raised, including how a Supreme Court case involving marijuana use and firearm possession would likely have been decided very differently just 20 or 30 years ago, underscoring the profound legal and cultural changes that have occurred in recent years.FAQ'sHow have societal attitudes toward marijuana changed over the past few decades?Societal attitudes toward marijuana have shifted dramatically, from viewing it as a dangerous drug causing insanity in the 1950s to widespread acceptance for medical and recreational use in most states today. Recent years have seen major legal reforms and declassification, reflecting changing public perception 01:12.What key legal shifts influenced the Supreme Court's approach to gun rights in recent years?Major legal shifts, such as the D.C. v. Heller and Bruen Supreme Court cases, redefined the Second Amendment as protecting an individual's right to bear arms and set stricter requirements for justifying any restriction on gun ownership, demanding historical precedent for such regulations 02:44.Why would the recent marijuana and gun case have been decided differently 30 years ago?The recent marijuana and gun case would have been decided differently 30 years ago because marijuana was far less accepted and gun rights were interpreted more restrictively, meaning the Supreme Court would likely have allowed prosecution rather than questioning such laws 02:26. Changing societal views and legal precedents have dramatically altered the outcome today.Got a question you want answered on the podcast? Call 614-859-2119 and leave us a voicemail.

In this episode of the Different Leaf the Podcast, photographers Sam Lee and Hunter Abrams discuss their long-running creative partnership and their approach to shooting one of the book's most striking visual stories. Having worked with leading outlets including Vogue, Interview Magazine, The New York Times, and GQ, Lee and Abrams reflect on how they first met, how their collaborative process evolved, and what it means to build trust behind the camera. The conversation centers around their Different Leaf photo shoot with André De Shields — Tony Award–winning actor, singer, and cultural icon — whose presence, movement, and history informed every frame. They break down the role of styling and wardrobe, and how thoughtful choices allowed De Shields' creative energy to lead without overpowering the image itself. Lee and Abrams also speak to Bob Faust and Nick Cave's original vision for the book, and how they translated that vision into photographs that expand the narrative while honoring its spirit—adding texture, rhythm, and humanity to a world built on art, cannabis, and storytelling.

After seven years in a Texas prison, Tim came home with prison politics, gang ties, and connections that would pull him straight into the meth game. In episode 4 of Tim's series, he breaks down how life behind bars shaped his mindset, how he adjusted after release, and how prison relationships eventually led to cartel-level meth connections. Tim talks about working on death row, surviving the Texas prison system, coming home on parole, and entering a dangerous world of meth trafficking, cartel plugs, stash houses, and small-town drug markets. He also explains how rural Texas became flooded with ice, why meth spread so quickly through small towns, and how one out-of-state connection changed everything. This is a raw look at prison life, cartel influence, the meth pipeline, and the consequences of chasing fast money after prison.

Whether it's marijuana, high-potency THC products sold as candy, psychedelics, or vaping, the next generation of leaders are having their brains rotted out by the THC Inc. cartel that is purposely creating harmful addiction for profit. I'm joined by drug policy expert Kevin Sabet, founder of Smart Approaches to Marijuana, to expose the growing influence of the THC and marijuana industry on American politics, culture, and public health. Kevin makes the case that Big Tobacco has now bought out a lot of the largest THC companies and is using the same gaslighting tactic to promote fake medical benefits in order to promote addiction. We also discuss how medical marijuana and veterans have been used as a Trojan horse to promote a non-medical agenda and how Trump got bought out by the industry he used to hate and is, in turn, suppressing organized opposition to this agenda on the political Right.  Learn more about your ad choices.
