RUNDOWN   Nugget ice machines, clinking noises, and bizarre celebrity rumors (yes, even LeAnn Rimes' teeth). The warm-up turns nostalgic as the show celebrates musical birthdays for Billy Ray Cyrus, Gene Simmons, and Elvis Costello. And what about the chaos of late August sports: college football's return, the NFL looming, and the Mariners somehow both collapsing and contending at the same time? Hotshot recounts the fantasy football fiasco that ended his playing days back in 2007, while Mitch embraces his role as a “passionate pessimist” when it comes to Seattle baseball. And through it all, one bright spot remains—Brian Woo quietly posting Cy Young–level consistency, even if the voters never notice. Mitch interviews Nancy King, who was just 16 when a family trip to Seattle in August 1964 turned into the story of a lifetime. From checking into the Beatles' hotel, to a chance encounter with a Liverpool journalist, to being ushered into a private room where she spent 30 unforgettable minutes with John, Paul, George, and Ringo — Nancy recounts how one magical evening reshaped her life and inspired decades of storytelling. CBS analyst and Rose Bowl–winning coach Rick Neuheisel joins Mitch to open another season of weekly college football chats, breaking down the new 12-team playoff format, the looming SEC and Big Ten power plays, and the frenzy around Arch Manning's Texas debut in Columbus. He weighs in on Washington's year-two outlook under Jedd Fisch, Heisman dark horses, and makes his first official “Rick's Pick” of 2025 — with Oregon and LSU circled for January glory. Mitch welcomes back Joe Doyle and Brady Farkas for episode 348 of this Mariners No-Table segment, where the trio dissects Seattle's uneven road trip, a roster struggling against lefties, and what Cal Raleigh's historic home run pace means for the franchise. With Padres, Guardians, and Rays looming, the group debates roster moves, Harry Ford's September call-up chances, and whether the Mariners are missing their moment to bury Houston.   GUESTS   Nancy King | Eyewitness to the Beatles' 1964 Seattle stay and lifelong storyteller of that night at the Edgewater Hotel Rick Neuheisel | CBS College Football Analyst, Former Head Coach & Rose Bowl Champion Brady Farkas | Host, Refuse to Lose Podcast (Mariners on SI) Joe Doyle | MLB Draft & Mariners Analyst, Over Slot Substack   TABLE OF CONTENTS   0:00 | From Nugget Ice to Beatles Nights 21:56 | Passionate Pessimists, Fantasy-Free Since '07, and Mariners in the Madness 35:30 | GUEST: Nancy King; From North Dakota to the Edgewater: A Teenager's Night With the Beatles 1:05:25 | GUEST: Rick Neuheisel; Kicks Off College Football: Playoff Paths, Arch Madness, and Husky Hopes 1:34:28 | GUEST: Mariners No-Table; Mariners No-Table: Clunky Rosters, Cal Raleigh's Power Surge, and a Crucial Week Ahead 2:02:21 | Other Stuff Segment: Chinese Taipei wins Little League World Series, Issaquah loses to eventual softball champion Texas, Seahawks preseason struggles & roster cuts (Marquez Valdes-Scantling uncertainty), Lee Corso's final College GameDay broadcast, John Wall retires from NBA, Bengals Ring of Honor controversy (Boomer Esiason email & Corey Dillon snub), Roger Federer declared billionaire via On Running stake, Nolan Bushnell turns down 1/3 of Apple for $50K, Sean Kemp sentenced to 30 days home detention, Michael Jordan & Kobe Bryant card sells for $12.93M, Ro Crowder rearrested for sniffing strangers, Bellevue Pickleball Club opening.

It's Monday, August 18th, 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 Vietnamese Communists cut electricity to church mid-service As a Catholic priest quietly led a service in the home of one of 20 worshippers in the evening of August 11 in the Đại Từ district in northeast Vietnam, Communist authorities cut the home's electricity to stop the service, reports International Christian Concern. Then, they detained three church members. In John 15:18, Jesus said, “If the world hates you, keep in mind that it hated Me first.” Multiple worshippers livestreamed the arrests on Facebook. Within two hours, the video had been seen 60,000 times. After Putin-Trump meeting, Trump declared: “It's up to Zelenskyy” In a join press conference with U.S. President Donald Trump, Russian President Vladimir Putin summarized his perception of what needed to happen to end the Russo-Ukrainian War. He made the remarks following his 3-hour sit-down meeting with President Trump in Anchorage, Alaska last Friday.  Listen to the real-time translation by a female translator. PUTIN: “The situation in Ukraine has to do with fundamental threats to our security. Everything that's happening is a tragedy for us and terrible wound. Therefore, the country is sincerely interested in putting an end to it. “[At] the same time, we're convinced that in order to make the settlement lasting and long-term, we need to eliminate all the primary causes of that conflict. And we've said it multiple times, to consider all legitimate concerns of Russia and to reinstate a just balance of security in Europe and in the world on the whole. “Naturally, the security of Ukraine should be ensured as well. I would like to hope that the agreement that we've reached together will help us bring closer that goal and will pave the path towards peace in Ukraine.” Following the press conference, President Donald Trump talked to Sean Hannity on Fox News Channel. HANNITY: “If you had to grade it on a scale of one to 10?” TRUMP:  “I think the meeting was a ‘10' in the sense that we got along great. And it's good when, you know, two big powers get along, especially when they're nuclear powers. You know, we're number one, they're number two in the world.  That's a big deal. You never want to even mention that word, the word nuclear.” President Trump addressed how it went and what the next step is to bring the Russo-Ukrainian War to a close. TRUMP: “We were together almost three hours, and it was very extensive, and we agreed on a lot of points. I mean, a lot of points were agreed on, but there's not that much as you know, one or two pretty significant items, but I think they can be reached. Now, it's really up to [Ukrainian] President [Volodymyr] Zelenskyy to get it done.” Costco will not sell Abortion Kill Pill Costco Wholesale Corp. has announced it will not dispense the abortion kill pill mifepristone at its U.S. pharmacies, a decision hailed by pro-life advocates as a significant victory, reports LifeNews. The abortion kill pill has been responsible for killing millions of babies and killing and injuring countless women. The retail giant's decision comes amid pressure from Christian investors and pro-life groups urging major retailers to refrain from distributing the abortion drug. Costco has joined other major retailers like Walmart, Kroger, and Albertsons, which have also declined to sell the deadly pills. Send a 2-sentence thank you note to Ron Vachris, Costco President, 999 Lake Drive, Issaquah, Washington 98027. Massachusetts is Sanctuary state for transgender surgery on kids Massachusetts has become a “sanctuary state” for transgender procedures on children, report MassResistance. Shockingly, Massachusetts doctors who break other states' laws prohibiting transgender procedures will be protected from prosecution -- and their names hidden from the public.  While 25 states have banned such foolishness, the Massachusetts Legislature passed the so-called “shield law” on July 31, 2025. It is among the most aggressive and offensive anti-family laws anywhere in America. Days later, the state's radical lesbian Democratic Governor Maura Healy, who is in a sinful relationship with Joanna Lydgate, signed it into law. Dr. Elizabeth Boskey at Boston Children's Hospital revealed the hospital is willing to remove a 15-year-old girl's healthy breasts. BOSKEY: “The eligibility for getting gender-affirming surgeries at Boston Children's Hospital is basically the same as it would be for most other hospitals or surgeons in the United States. And that's the case because we all follow the World Professional Association for Transgender Health standards of care. “For top surgery, you are requested,  but not required, to have been on gender-affirming hormones for at least a year. If you're a ‘trans woman,' it's really encouraged that you be on estrogen for at least a year, because you want to maximize your natural breast growth. “Many surgical centers require you to be 18. At Boston Children's Hospital, for top surgeries, we'll see people as young as age 15, if they've been affirmed in their gender for a long period of time and don't really have any other life complications that make surgery inappropriate.” 41 Planned Parenthood abortion mills have closed this year Ready for some great news? So far this year, the Planned Parenthood abortion business has closed 41 centers. Despite what the abortion giant and the media would have Americans think, they all participated in abortions, reports Life News. William Carey, father of modern missions, said,  And finally, 264 years ago yesterday, a very special man was born in England. William Carey is his name and he is known as the "father of modern missions.” The eldest of five children, his parents were weavers.  Carey went to work for the local shoemaker, Thomas Old, during which time he taught himself Hebrew, Italian, Dutch, and French. He often read while working on the shoes. Carey married Old's sister-in-law, Dorothy Plackett, with whom he had seven children. Sadly, three of their kids died before the age of five. Inspired by Jonathan Edwards' An account of the life of the Rev. David Brainerd,  Carey spent 41 years in India as a missionary without a furlough.  He led 700 souls to Christ in a nation of millions.  Romans 10:15 says, “How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the good news!” He wrote a book entitled An Enquiry into the Obligations of Christians to Use Means for the Conversion of the Heathens which led to the founding of the Baptist Missionary Society. Carey was known for saying, “Expect great things from God; attempt great things for God."   He also said, "To know the will of God, we need an open Bible and an open map." He understood the importance of both Scripture and understanding the world around us. Finally, he prioritized meaningful work. He said, “I'm not afraid of failure; I'm afraid of succeeding at things that do not matter."

Psalm 1 paints a vivid contrast between two ways of life: one rooted by streams of living water, the other blown away like chaff in the wind.

Join us as we discover how to starve the lies of the world, feed on what truly lasts, and leave a wake of life for […] The post Psalm 1 appeared first on Pine Lake Covenant Church.

Psalm 121 teaches us that God is in control. Even though we may be far from the destination in our health, our jobs, our families, or our desires, we can come under God's authority and look to the hills from whence comes our help on the journey.

This Sunday, we will take a reflective walk through Psalm 103 where we are called to remember—not just with our minds, but with our souls. Psalm 103 calls us to preach to our own hearts: “Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all His benefits” – and then walks us through remembering: who God is, what God has done, and who we are—and whose we are. And so we have every reason to rise up and sing, as the song says: So I throw up my handsAnd […] The post Psalm 103 appeared first on Pine Lake Covenant Church.

In Psalm 139, we discover the beauty of being fully known by God — every thought, every fear, every joy — and invited to truly know Him in return. This week we'll explore how God's intimate knowledge of us is not something to fear but to embrace, and how knowing Him shapes our identity and purpose. Come find rest in the God who searches, knows, and loves you completely — and calls you to know Him more deeply! The post Psalm 139 appeared first on Pine Lake Covenant Church.

God wants our hearts, and this world wants to deceive our hearts. Jesus says that we cannot serve two masters. Generosity is the antidote to set us free from the poison of materialism. It is the key to putting our trust in God, to placing our hope in the Kingdom and not in things of this world. For where our treasure is, there our heart will be also.

Ever feel like what you have to give isn't enough? You're not alone. This week, we're looking at a powerful moment where Jesus shows us that it's not about how much we give, but how we give it. Everyone has something to offer, even if it's small. Real generosity isn't always easy, but it's always worth it. Come discover how you can live generously, give boldly, and set the example—not just follow it. The post Your Gift appeared first on Pine Lake Covenant Church.

I'll hold the door for you, if you will hold the door for me. Just pay it forward. These are a couple of ways our culture can operate in generosity, but the way of Jesus offers another, more meaningful way to bless others. A culture of generosity is not just for those who've earned it or are worthy of it, but also for those who can offer nothing in return.

Jesus sums up the law and the prophets in two commands: love the Lord and love your neighbor as yourself.

Jesus said the whole law could be summed up by these two commands: to love God and to love your neighbor as yourself. The latter of the two was such a hot-button issue that he was asked what the minimum requirement was to love one's neighbor and still enter into eternal life with God. Jesus did not say that one is greater than the other, or that there is a minimum requirement for either. The expectation of Jesus' followers is […] The post The Love Command appeared first on Pine Lake Covenant Church.

When we pray, “Your Kingdom come, Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven,” this is not a passive prayer while we wait for Armageddon!

This week on Wisdom from the Wardrobe, we're going Skin Deep—and yes, Stacy's literally joining us from inside a closet. We're airing out more than just clothes in this jam-packed episode that blends style, self-care, and a little soul-searching. In “Bec's in the News,” we unpack a fresh take on wardrobe and life clutter: Dissolving. It's the new wave of wellness that digs deeper than decluttering—less about what you're getting rid of, and more about why you're holding on.

And speaking of cleansing… we welcome special guest Brook Kennedy, owner of Suite B Hair and Skin Lounge in Issaquah. She gives us the glow down on all things' skincare from SPF facts (spoiler: the sunscreen in your makeup probably isn't enough), to how your skincare should shift with the seasons of life.

So, grab your gua sha and your emotional inventory—we're scrubbing the surface and what's underneath. Because when it comes to style and skincare, the glow must go on. Happy Listening!

There are so many feelings around the subject of confession. For some, it makes us squirm in our seats. And for others, they have found great solace in the practice.

What role will it play in modeling the Gospel of Jesus to the world around us? Join us […] The post Confession appeared first on Pine Lake Covenant Church.

When we share and respond to prayer requests, there's often an unspoken assumption that a one-time prayer will suffice.

So often, we come to prayer with a request or an answer in mind. Jesus tells us to ask, and it will be given; seek, and we will find; knock, and the door will be opened to us. But how many times have we pounded at a door in prayer for something, only for it to remain shut? This passage gives us a framework by which we might seek the kingdom of God and not our own kingdom.
