Dr. Thomas Laehn joins Brian Nichols to reveal how Iowa's data center fight, eminent domain, and Citizens United money all run through the 2026 Senate race - and why voters keep getting handed two bad options.Laehn is the Greene County Attorney and the first Libertarian in Iowa history to win a partisan election. Then he won it again. Now he's on the November 3 ballot against Ashley Hinson and Josh Turek for Joni Ernst's open seat.He wrote a bill that passed the House and passed the Senate. It never became law. What happened to it is the part nobody in Des Moines wants repeated.Brian pushes back hard - on young men and H-1B hiring, on the cultural fight libertarians keep dodging, on whether one party is objectively worse than the other.

What if the Old Testament law was more spacious than we imagine? In this episode, Alan Fadling explores a surprising question: How much time did God set aside in Israel’s calendar for worship, rest, celebration, and remembrance? Weekly Sabbaths. Annual festivals. New Moon observances. A sabbatical year for the land. Jubilee. Taken together, these rhythms reveal a God who was not forming a people around relentless productivity, but around worship, trust, gratitude, and enoughness. Alan reflects on Israel’s struggle to receive this gift, our own modern “burnout economy,” and the striking connection between Sabbath and freedom from slavery. Perhaps rest is not merely recovery from working too much. Perhaps it is part of the spacious life God intended for us. In this episode: The surprising amount of rest built into Israel’s calendar Why Israel struggled to practice the sabbatical year and Jubilee What Sabbath has to do with freedom from slavery Why our burnout economy makes these ancient rhythms newly relevant How rest becomes an apprenticeship in trusting God What these rhythms might mean for the way we live and lead today “Slaves don’t get Sabbaths. Free people do.” Connect with Alan on LinkedIn or learn more about Unhurried Living programs on their website.

Send me a DM here (it doesn't let me respond), OR email me: imagineabetterworld2020@gmail.comToday I'm honored to have back on the show once again - two incredible warriors for truth, exposure, and healing for all survivors - especially in their home of Israel: CEO of Bereshit Magazine, Independent journalist and researcher, and podcast host, Daniel Sharon, and ritual abuse survivor and advocate, social worker and lecturer, Yael ArielA little bit about Daniel, Yael and their journey's together:In the ancient, storied heart of Jerusalem, where the weight of history presses against the soul of every inhabitant, a young man named Daniel Sharon came of age amid the vibrant pulse of a city that has witnessed empires rise and fall. Now in his 30's, Daniel once stood as an officer in the IDF's elite tank unit, navigating the chaos and moral quagmire of conflict in Gaza a decade ago. The raw human cost of war awakened something profound within him - an unshakable disillusionment that compelled him to step away from military service and toward a path of deeper introspection and purpose. Then came the global upheaval of COVID, a catalyst that stripped away illusions and unveiled what he describes as the horrific truths embedded in the systems governing our world. Guided by synchronicities and inspired by the bold voices of truth-seekers, Daniel discovered his calling as CEO of Bereshit - Hebrew for Genesis - a magazine born as a defiant answer to the fear-driven narratives flooding mainstream media. In a landscape choked by silence and control, Bereshit rose as a beacon for truth, free speech, and human rights. In 2023, Daniel shattered barriers by publishing Israel's first major article on ritual abuse, a courageous act that ignited both fierce controversy and life-changing connection. It was in this fearless pursuit that Daniel's path crossed with Yael, a fierce social worker, lecturer, and survivor of ritual abuse whose own journey radiates extraordinary resilience. Having endured unimaginable trauma that fractured her early life, Yael transformed her pain into profound purpose. She co-produced two groundbreaking conferences dedicated to healing complex trauma, becoming a sought-after lecturer on dissociation and complex PTSD, her voice ringing with clarity, compassion, and unyielding strength. Since 2022, she has fearlessly shared her story on Facebook—one of the few ritual abuse survivors in Israel bold enough to speak publicly. Her courage has drawn dozens of others from the shadows, forging a growing network of survivors united in their mission to raise awareness and foster healing. Together, Daniel and Yael have become an unstoppable force of light against darkness. Their collaboration gave birth to a pioneering Hebrew-language website dedicated to exposing and understanding ritual abuse - a vital resource that, alongside Daniel's groundbreaking Bereshit article and a pivotal investigative piece, ignited a national conversation long suppressed by fear and denial. Rooted in shared conviction, deep friendship and love, their partnership blends Daniel's strategic vision and journalistic precision with Yael's empathetic advocacy and lived wisdom. Through Bereshit, Daniel's new podcast, Yael's advocacy for fellow survivors, and their relentless activism, they are rewriting Israel's narrative: replacing fear with truth, silence with solidarity, and trauma with hope.

Ed Sheeran has spoken out at the start of his first show since the rapper Macklemore was dropped from his US tour over pro-Palestinian comments. The British singer said the Hamas attacks on Israel in October 2023 were horrific, but Israel's subsequent response had been disproportionate. He said his heart had been broken by the scale of devastation. Also: for the first time since those Hamas attacks on Israel sparked the war on Gaza, half a million children inside the territory are returning to formal education. Iran-backed Houthi militants in Yemen say they have carried out drone and ballistic missile attacks on the Saudi capital Riyadh, as well as energy sites on the country's Red Sea coast. Germany is holding two state elections this weekend in the wake of the recent successes of the far-right Alternative fur Deutschland - or AfD - party which recorded its best ever result. And Google has confirmed that its AI system, Gemini, hacked into three companies during a test in May. The Global News Podcast brings you the breaking news you need to hear, as it happens.

Daniel 12:11–13 reveals two mysterious prophetic periods: 1,290 days and 1,335 days. Together, they appear to identify a 75-day interval following the Tribulation in which Jesus defeats His enemies, judges the nations, gathers Israel, binds Satan, raises the saints and establishes His millennial kingdom. In this final study from the book of Daniel, Matt Freeman shows how these overlooked verses may connect with Revelation, Isaiah, Zechariah, Ezekiel and Matthew—and what they reveal about the dramatic transition from Armageddon to the reign of Christ.

YouVersion Notes:https://www.bible.com/events/49667817 In The War Against Israel, Pastor Chris Cheema exposes the spiritual battle behind the historic and ongoing hatred of the Jewish people. Through Revelation 12 and the biblical story of Israel, he confronts antisemitism, deception, and attempts to erase Israel's covenant identity while calling the Church to understand God's Word, stand against hatred, pray for Israel, and proclaim salvation through Jesus. Ultimately, the message points to the return of Jesus as King and the fulfillment of God's promises.

This week: 354 days into a ceasefire, Israel has killed at least 1,390 Palestinians in Gaza.    Iran conveyed its conditions for a ceasefire to the US. Further escalation is likely between Saudi Arabia and Yemen's Houthi movement. The US has reportedly approved more weapons transfers to Israel. Israel has killed at least 73,910 Palestinians in Gaza since October 7, 2023.

Welcome to Daily Bread for Busy Moms, a daily Bible reading podcast from Israel. Each day, we journey through the Scriptures together by following the weekly Torah portion one section at a time, along with readings from the Prophets, Writings, and Apostolic Scriptures. In just one year, you'll read through the Bible while following the biblical calendar and feast cycle. As we approach the beginning of a new reading year on Simchat Torah, we're excited to announce that the brand-new Daily Bread Journal is now available! Every year, a completely new journal is created for the upcoming reading cycle, and this year's journal will guide us through the Scriptures beginning October 4. The Daily Bread podcast follows the journal's unique reading plan, making the journal the perfect companion for your daily Bible reading journey. If you've been listening along and would like a place to record prayers, take notes, and follow the readings throughout the year, now is the perfect time to reserve your copy.

We all have people in our lives that we want to believe and follow Jesus. But when someone continues to reject God, it can be easy to assume their unbelief is the end of the story. In Romans 11, Paul reminds us that God does not give up on his people. Through Paul's own story, Israel's unbelief, and the picture of branches being grafted back into an olive tree, we see that God has the power to save all types of sinners and to graft people in again. In this message, Pastor Kyle shows us why we should be humble, hopeful, and hold on, trusting God even when we can't see everything he is doing. In this message, you'll learn: - Why you shouldn't write off someone God may still be working in - How Paul's story shows that God can save all types of sinners - Why you're never as alone as you think you are - How God can use rejection as redirection - What it looks like to live a life that makes others want what you have in Christ - Why Christians should respond to unbelief with humility, hope, and perseverance - What it means that God has the power to “graft them in again”

The holiest day of the year is upon us. The day of Yom Kippur is unmatched and unrivaled by any other. It is a day of elevation. It is a day of purification. It is a day to be cleansed of all of our sins. It is a day to move past all of our trauma. On this day God pledges to forgive us from for all of our sins. But some of us have a hard time connecting with this awesome day. Some of us wish that we can leapfrog this day and move on to the festival of Sukkos. Why do we have such a hard time with this day, and what is there to do about it? In this really superb podcast, we learn about the secrets of this awesome day, and what is actually we need to do so that we merit to partake in its vast, awesome power.– – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – –DONATE to TORCH: Please consider supporting the podcasts by making a donation to help fund our Jewish outreach and educational efforts at https://www.torchweb.org/support.php.

We also get into his friendship with SNL's Marcello Hernández, his disagreement with Patrick Bet-David about modern dating, his experiences in Israel, and why some of life's biggest disappointments can lead to your greatest opportunities. 00:00:00 - Was that you on stage? 00:01:16 - Talk about your dad's influence? 00:05:33 - What would your dad think of you now? 00:05:51 - What would he think of what you're doing? 00:07:01 - Did your dad encourage stand-up comedy? 00:08:57 - Do you know Jerry Jones? 00:13:59 - Is that good or bad for society? 00:17:39 - Are you aware Iran is being bombed daily? 00:17:51 - Would aliens even make the news anymore? 00:25:25 - Why not listen to women? 00:43:49 - Why'd you get serious at 27? 00:43:56 - How does the finance business model work? 00:47:56 - Does this only work with term life? 00:53:15 - How does buying policies work for you? 00:55:19 - How do you get paid by insurance companies? 00:57:18 - Can you lose on these policies? 01:11:02 - What if that one girl gave you a shot? 01:14:22 - What happened with you and Pat on air? 01:17:35 - How to keep a happy relationship? 01:17:45 - How to get a girl out of your league? 01:26:33 - What's dating in Miami like? 01:31:27 - Quick thoughts on public figures? 01:33:56 - What question do you wish you were asked? 01:35:33 - What's an uncomfortable truth for you? 01:39:00 - Do you discuss Israel? 01:39:24 - Why is Israel still in Gaza? 01:43:03 - What's misunderstood about you? ————————————————————

Following God doesn't always feel easy—but that doesn't mean you're going the wrong way. In “Lowing As They Went,” Dr. Michael Maiden draws from 1 Samuel 6, where two cows carry the ark of God back toward Israel. Though they cry out for the calves they've left behind, they continue straight down the road. Through this powerful picture, Dr. Mike shares how Jesus transforms us, grace enables us to obey, and our obedience can meet someone else's need. He also reminds us that worship doesn't end when we leave church. Every step of obedience can be an expression of love for God. Whatever you're facing, keep going with Him.

Welcome to Last Call, a look at the biggest stories Jim and Greg covered over the past week on the 3 Martini Lunch.This week, they discuss Virginia paroling felons at a much higher rate since the Democrats took over this year, the New York Times having to issue an embarrassing correction about the terrorist attacks against Israel, Illinois Democrats trying to put gunmakers on the hook for gun deaths and injuries, and Sen. Mitch McConnell proving he's no longer up to the job.First, they vent over the Virginia Parole Board appointed by Democrat Gov. Abigail Spanberger granting parole to convicted felons - some of them violent criminals - at an exponentially higher pace than the board serving under recent GOP Gov. Glenn Youngkin.Next, they vent as the New York Times publishes a story stating "Israelis still view themselves as the victims of Oct. 7." In addition to the obvious reaction, Jim explains the double standard that exists in how the Times treats writings from the left vs. the right.Then, Greg and guest host Scot Bertram fire back as Illinois Democrats try to put gunmakers on the hook for the costs related to murders and injuries connected with firearms. We'll explain what's really happening here and why the left's logic on this is badly flawed.Finally, they cringe as it's clear Sen. Mitch McConnell is deeply confused at best and clearly seems incapable of doing his job any longer. They discuss how unfair this lack of transparency by McConnell's staff is to his constituents and how Democratic Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear made this whole situation worse as well.Please visit our great sponsors:HomeServeProtect your home with HomeServe.  For 50% less your first year, go to https://HomeServe.com/Martini for the plan that's right for you.

With the Altalena's arrival at Kfar Vitkin, the situation escalated rather rapidly. The Israeli government was keen on asserting its authority, maintaining one state and one army, while the Irgun was insisting that the weapons aboard the ship be allocated according to its demands. Following an ultimatum from the IDF, a skirmish broke out which led to several tragic deaths. The Altalena then sailed for Tel Aviv, where the final showdown took place the next day. With the Irgun refusing to surrender, the government of the State of Israel decided to take the ship by force. The resulting battle led to death, injury and the shelling of the Altalena. Civil war was averted, but scars and animosity remained. Was there another way this could have ended? Who fired the first shot? Could the violence have been averted had the Irgun submitted to the State's authority?

This week we're traveling around the region, moving from the Red Sea to the Balkans.While the Iran war has disrupted energy flows through the Strait of Hormuz, the world's attention shifted to another major global chokepoint at the mouth of the Red Sea this past week, the Bab-el Mandeb Strait, as Iran-backed Houthi rebels tighten their grip over this strategic maritime route and threaten Saudi Arabia's oil exports.With the Strait of Hormuz and the Bab-el Mandeb Strait under threat, the world is bracing for a potential squeeze on oil prices, while the US appears to be sitting this one out, so far declining to intervene on Saudi Arabia's behalf.The Houthi attacks are also the first test for the new Mecca Agreement, the defense pact between Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and Pakistan. While all eyes are on the Red Sea, tensions have been quietly brewing in the Aegean, where Turkey is once again ramping up its provocations. We've seen Turkey engage in new airspace violations, provoke with the announcement of controversial marine parks, slam Greece's recent defense deal with Israel as an attempt to “encircle” Turkey, and this week Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan absurdly called Greece's defense of its Aegean islands a “threat”.Looking to Greece's north, the Western Balkans are coming under the spotlight again after Serbia's President Alexandar Vucic, who has been in power as ‌president or prime minister for 12 years, dissolved parliament and called for snap elections in October. Serbia has been rocked by student-led protests and political turmoil over the last two years, and demands for accountability and change are widespread. This is also raising questions about the EU's commitment to fully integrate the Western Balkans, an effort that has lost momentum over the past years. Could this be an opportunity to use its leverage to promote reform and the resolution of bilateral issues? Some experts think it may be.Aaron David Miller, Constantinos Filis, and James Ker-Lindsay join Thanos Davelis this week as we look into all of these developments, exploring what they mean for Greece and the wider region.A little more info on our guests:Aaron David Miller is a senior fellow at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace and expert on the Middle East.Constantinos Filis is an associate professor at the American College of Greece and director of its Institute of Global Affairs.Professor James Ker-Lindsay is an expert on the EU, the Balkans, and Southeast Europe.You can support The Greek Current by joining HALC as a member here.

The Chicks dig into the latest 2026 midterm conversation, including polling and political numbers they see as reasons for Republican optimism, plus the ongoing fight over data centers and electricity costs. They also react to Hasan Piker's Axios interview and his comments about America, Israel, Iran, and the Middle East, along with awkward encounters involving Sen. Alex Padilla and Rep. Ilhan Omar.Plus, the Lindsay Clancy case continues to generate controversy as Patrick Clancy prepares for a televised interview and the lone holdout juror gets an attorney amid intense public attention. The episode also gets into Macklemore, the Israel debate, a University of Utah student controversy, TPUSA and Candace Owens, modern dating culture, the eerie “Universe 25” mouse experiment, and—because it's Friday—crabs with knives and squirrels causing absolute chaos.0:00 Intro 0:15 Rude Email Drama6:49 HealthyCell Ad9:05 Trump's Big Poland Announcement11:20 Trump Wins the Media Isn't Talking About 15:36 CNN's Midterm Numbers17:54 Funny AI Ad For Dems20:00 Bulwark Capital Ad22:20 Data Centers & Rising Electricity Costs24:41 AI Regulation + Marc Andreessen's Warning28:43 Jonathan Jackson + Alex Padilla Dodges Questions31:04 Ilhan Omar Confronted34:13 Michigan Voters, Religion & Dana Bash38:29 Fresh Pressed Olive Oil Ad40:43 Hasan Piker's Axios Interview45:18 Democrats Can't Escape the Hasan Piker Problem47:35 Hasan Piker Confronted Over His 9/11 Comments49:59 Abdul El-Sayed, Gaza & Egypt52:25 Antisemitism + Vanderbilt's Muslim Student Association54:42 Haley Stevens Confronted Over Israel56:50 Macklemore, Ms. Rachel & Pro-Palestine Celebrity Activism1:01:22 “Jewish Derangement Syndrome” Goes Viral1:05:17 The British Food Aisle Goes Viral1:07:27 Patrick Clancy's Upcoming 60 Minutes Interview1:11:20 Lindsay Clancy Jurors Speak Out1:13:36 Holdout Juror Lawyers Up1:16:45 University of Utah Case Dismissed1:18:30 Candace Owens vs. TPUSA1:20:02 Candace Owens Questions Erica Kirk's School Event1:22:27 TPUSA Fires Back1:27:02 Modern Dating Has Completely Lost the Plot1:29:24 Looksmaxxing & Internet Brain Rot1:31:42 The Terrifying “Universe 25” Mouse Experiment1:34:02 Crabs With KNIVES?!1:37:26 Squirrel Chaos1:39:29 Incredible “God Was Watching Over Us” Story1:41:49 Viewer Comments1:46:38 Birthday Gifts + Friday Wrap-UpGet a FREE Two-Week Trial of HealthyCell's REM Sleep, AND a $10 gift card- all for $10 shipping.

Congress has left the building — for two months. No AI legislation, no check on an Iran war the American people never signed up for, no oversight while Trump threatens Cuba, threatens Greenland, watches the Fed raise rates, and lets his son throw a Russian-funded wedding party. Trump sits at 19% approval. J.D. Vance and Pete Hegseth are already jockeying to succeed him. Republicans are scrubbing him from their own ads. And the Democrats aren't exactly filling the vacuum. That's the opening for independents — and Paul Rieckhoff lays out exactly where the movement is building, from Brian Bengs in South Dakota to Dan Osborn in Nebraska to Seth Bodnar in Montana to Todd Achilles in Idaho. Then Paul goes below the radar on the Ed Sheeran / Macklemore / Bob Kraft blowup he witnessed live at MetLife Stadium — a Free Palestine chant that split a family-friendly crowd and now has Macklemore dropped from Gillette Stadium dates. It's a window into where most Americans actually sit on Israel and Gaza: not neutral, not extreme, but exhausted with blank checks and demanding the leaders of both sides stop bombing kids. Paul closes with Football Friday — college and NFL picks, a shout to Audioslave, and a message from his New York City Lions youth team: love one another.

The Feast of Tabernacles, also known as Sukkot, is the final feast called out in Leviticus 23 and a feast overflowing with the themes of joy, remembrance, provision, rest, and the presence of God. In this teaching, we look at God's commands for the children of Israel and remember how He brought them out of Egypt and provided for them in the wilderness. We also examine the feast's connection to rejoicing before the Lord, the significance of the eighth day, and the importance of remembering God's past faithfulness as we trust Him with our future. We then look at two ceremonies associated with the Feast of Tabernacles during the time of Christ—the water-libation and illumination ceremonies—and how the words of Jesus in John 7 and John 8 reveal Him as the living water and the Light of the World. Taught by Assistant Pastor Mac at Calvary Kaneohe Hawaii.

Today's Bible Verse: "The Gibeonites then sent word to Joshua in the camp at Gilgal: 'Do not abandon your servants. Come up to us quickly and save us! Help us! Because all the Amorite kings from the hill country are fighting against us.'" — Joshua 10:6 What happens when our mistakes create difficult consequences we didn't expect? Joshua 10:6 shows the Gibeonites facing danger after making a deceptive agreement with Israel, yet Joshua responded to their need and came to their aid. This passage reminds us that even when our choices lead to complicated circumstances, God can still work through them, provide help, and guide us forward.

On our radar this week… The battlelines are drawn in Michigan and across the nation over the tandem futures of data centers and artificial intelligence. Unlike the decades-long warnings over climate change threatening the future of the planet, the lighting speed of A-I development has catapulted the tech issue to the top tier of political issues. It seems like ancient history, but in reality it's only been a week since Donald Trump demanded fealty from the MAGA masses at his self-praising two-day “Trump is a Loser” rally in Dallas. A coalition of prominent Jewish political leaders is forming behind the candidacy of Abdul El-Sayed for the Senate. The biggest names on the list include the scion of the Levin political dynasty, former Congressman Sandy Levin, and former U.S. Senator Al Franken. Mike Rogers dodged the first scheduled U.S. Senate debate, leaving Dr. El-Sayed facing off against an empty lectern … and responding to a grilling from a TV journalist, Fox-Detroit reporter Roop Raj, accused by Rogers of being a Democratic sympathizer. A new study shows widespread confidence in our elections among Michigan voters. Three-quarters of those polled say they are certain the November election will be fair, secure and accurate. Other findings in the poll: More than 85% of voters trust their local elections, believing local elections are fair and accurate. Two-thirds of Michigan voters support states having power over elections, as Article 1, Section 4 of the U.S. Constitution stipulates.  A majority of Michigan voters are not concerned about noncitizens voting, reflecting a 16-point swing from 2025, when more voters worried about noncitizen voting. Nearly 6 in 10 voters oppose the state surrendering private voter data to the federal government, which is suing Michigan for personal information, even though a federal judge has blocked the Trump Administration. More than 61% of voters support the U.S. Department of Justice sending monitors to Michigan to observe the November elections. The bottom line in the fall campaign is the cost of living, and that's getting even worse for Republicans. The average price of gas in Michigan has soared to $4.75/gallon with many areas seeing $5/gallon gas. That's an increase of $1.56 from a year ago. Diesel fuel – which impacts the shipping of just about everything – is a staggering $6.32/gallon. That works out to around $1/mile to fuel a typical freight-hauling tractor trailer. A typical big rig holds 300 gallons – meaning up to $1,900 for a fill-up. U.S. consumers have collectively spent about $107 billion more on gasoline and diesel during the Iran conflict and disruptions from the Russia-Ukraine conflict than they would have had there been no war, according to estimates by the Climate Solutions Lab at Brown University. That averages to more than $500 million a day since the U.S. and Israel attacked Iran. Donald Trump's in a fiscal funk after the Fed raises interest rates. He's threatening to cut off trade with the world if the Fed doesn't reverse itself, even after declaring economic war on our neighbors in Canada. He's also fuming over a court decision preventing his stooges on the Kennedy Center Board from adding his name to the building. In his latest tantrum he's threatening to tear down the building if he can't put his name on the monument to John Kennedy, with a news photographer catching Trump reviewing a plan to demolish the DC landmark. The forever war in Iran, record deficits, inflation going up, a trade war with Canada, record-smashing corruption, a pre-occupation with building monuments to Donald Trump: the GOP message – it's all Joe Biden's fault, at least, in the eyes of J.D. Vance. That seems to be the definition of political desperation. And in the firehose of corruption flowing out of DC, we don't even have time to talk about Putin's buddy paying for Don Junior's wedding, Dad turning DC's public golf courses into country clubs, the entire family cashing out their crypto company after making billions at the expense of the MAGA flock, the continued Epstein files coverup, the Attorney General crossing the line into outright political campaigning, Bobby Kennedy Junior's pledge to champion the cause of anti-vaxxers, the House Speaker Mike Johnson shutting down the do-nothing House to avoid a Pete Hegseth impeachment vote, the hundreds of millions to train pilots to fly Trump's so-called free Qatar airplane, the continuing expensive saga of the Reflecting Pool or the White House power struggle between Melania and Natalie. Since convening in January 2025, the 119th Congress has passed 108 major laws — and only 36 this year.

He explains why Gaza has resonated so deeply with a generation facing economic insecurity and argues that changing public opinion means little without an organised movement capable of challenging political power.Muhammad Jalal and Norman Finkelstein also discuss Israel's loss of support among younger Americans, the dehumanisation of Palestinians, Britain's changing position on Israel, the role of international law and the pressure created by the pro-Palestine movement. Finally, they consider the response of cultural figures including Ed Sheeran and Macklemore, and whether artists can claim neutrality in the face of genocide.Find Norman Finkelstein here:X: https://x.com/normfinkelstein?lang=enIG: https://www.instagram.com/norm_finkelstein/?hl=enFind his Book here - Gaza's Gravediggers, An Inquiry into Corruption in High Places, available to purchase at: https://orbooks.com/catalog/gazas-gravediggers Become a member here:https://www.thinkingmuslim.com/membershipOr give your one-off donation here:https://www.thinkingmuslim.com/donateListen to the audio version of the podcast:Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/7vXiAjVFnhNI3T9Gkw636aApple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-thinking-muslim/id1471798762Purchase our Thinking Muslim mug: https://www.thinkingmuslim.com/merchFind us on:WhatsApp: https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029VbDYCfV5PO199ImLqZ34X: https://x.com/thinking_muslimLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/the-thinking-muslim/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/The-Thinking-Muslim-Podcast-105790781361490Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thinkingmuslimpodcast/Telegram: https://t.me/thinkingmuslimBlueSky: https://bsky.app/profile/thinkingmuslim.bsky.socialThreads: https://www.threads.com/@thinkingmuslimpodcastFind Muhammad Jalal here:X: https://twitter.com/jalalaynInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/jalalayns/Sign up to Muhammad Jalal's newsletter: https://jalalayn.substack.comWebsite Archive: https://www.thinkingmuslim.comDisclaimer:The views expressed in this video are those of the individual speaker(s) and do not represent the views of the host, producers, platform, or any affiliated organisation.

Today's Promise: Joshua 1:9 Sometimes it feels like fear is everywhere. Turn on the news, get online, or listen to the conversations around you, and it can seem like one crisis follows another. It's easy to become discouraged and wonder, "What are we going to do?"   Joshua faced that same kind of uncertainty. He had just taken Moses' place as the leader of God's people, and he was facing enemies stronger and more powerful than Israel. But God gave Joshua a simple command: "Be strong and courageous." That same promise is for you today. You don't have to live in fear because God has given you His Word, and He promises to be with you wherever you go.   In today's episode, you'll discover how God's Word can strengthen your faith and how His presence gives you courage when life feels overwhelming. No matter what you're facing today, remember, God is with you.

What happens when your personal dreams are too small for what God actually wants to accomplish through your life?   Feeling stuck, disqualified, or unable to see past your current obstacle?
