The announcement by the Dalai Lama that he will have a reincarnated successor when he dies – and that his foundation along will identify the next leader of Tibetan Buddhism – is a major challenge to China, which occupies Tibet. It's also a challenge to the Trump administration, according to a former official. Randall Schriver served as Assistant Secretary of Defence. He says respecting the Dalai Lama's decision will test Donald Trump's commitment to religious freedom.Across Europe, governments are cracking down on clergy associated with the Russian Orthodox Church, accusing them of being propagandists, even spies for the Putin regime. Ukraine has stripped citizenship from the head of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church, saying he answers to Moscow. Estonia has just passed a law forcing the local Orthodox to cut ties with Russia. It's also accused a group of nuns of spying. Just how deep does suspicion of the church run? He was the charismatic preacher in the sharp suit and flashy car, who preached personal purity – until he came undone in a sex scandal. Jimmy Swaggart was a global institution in the 1980s. He died a few days ago. GUESTS:RANDALL SCHRIVER served as Assistant Secretary of Defence in the Trump administration and Deputy Secretary of State in the Bush administration.

On this week's AP Religion Roundup, Televangelist Jimmy Swaggart dies, and the Dalai Lama says he plans to reincarnate. AP Correspondent Walter Ratliff reports.

It's Thursday, July 3rd, 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 Jonathan Clark and Adam McManus Russia's tight restrictions on missionary activity Individuals and religious groups across Russia continue to face charges of “unlawful missionary activity.” Forum 18 reports the country has conducted 34 such prosecutions this year, an increase compared to recent years. A dozen of these cases affected evangelical Christians. Pastors were fined simply for evangelizing or holding unauthorized church services. Russia enacted tight restrictions on sharing religious beliefs in 2016. The country also imposed “anti-missionary” legislation in occupied Ukrainian territories.  In Acts 5:29, the apostles said, “We ought to obey God rather than men.” Biologically accurate pronouns allowed despite Australia's wokeness Free speech advocates won a big case against Australia this week. At issue is a post on Elon Musk's social media platform X that used biologically accurate pronouns to identify a transgender individual. Australia's eSafety Commissioner ordered X to remove the post, but X challenged the order. On Tuesday, Australia's Administrative Review Tribunal sided with X in the case.  Paul Coleman with Alliance Defending Freedom International said, “In this case, the Australian government alarmingly censored the peaceful expression of a Canadian citizen on an American-owned platform, evidence of the expansive reach of censorial forces, even beyond national borders. Today, free speech has prevailed.” Elon Musk wants to found The American Party which will cut the deficit Speaking of Elon Musk, the tech billionaire called for a new political party in the U.S. On Monday, he posted on X, “If this insane spending bill passes, The America Party will be formed the next day. Our country needs an alternative to the Democrat-Republican uniparty so that the people actually have a VOICE.”  Musk openly opposes President Donald Trump's “One Big Beautiful Bill” for its deficit spending. Afraid of losing $175m, U of Penn agrees to stop transgender nonsense The University of Pennsylvania is backing down from its support for transgenderism. The Trump administration threatened to withhold $175 million in funding to the school for allowing men to compete in women's sports, reports CNN. UPenn came to an agreement with the U.S. Department of Education recently to protect women's sports. Notably, the school will strip a transgender swimmer of his medals. The male swimmer, Will Thomas, who now goes by the feminine name “Lia” Thomas, has been pretending to be a woman, enabling him to win medals by competing in women's sports. Riley Gaines, a former University of Kentucky swimmer, said, “It is my hope that today demonstrates to educational institutions that they will no longer be allowed to trample upon women's civil rights.” Wisconsin Supreme Court strikes down 176-year-old abortion ban Wisconsin's Supreme Court struck down the state's 176-year-old abortion ban yesterday. The 1849 law made most abortions a felony. But the high court ruled 4-3 that more recent legislation superseded the law. Wisconsin only has a ban on late-term abortions now. Heather Weininger, Executive Director of Wisconsin Right to Life, told LifeNews, “The court did not point to a single state statute that specifically repeals [the law]. To assert that a repeal is implied is to legislate from the bench.” Jimmy Swaggart, known for his “I have sinned” confession, died at 90 Remember this?  JIMMY SWAGGART: “I have sinned against You, my Lord, and I would ask that Your precious blood would wash and cleanse every stain until it is in the seas of God's forgetfulness. Thank you. Thank you.” That was the tearful confession on February 21, 1988 of televangelist Jimmy Swaggart at the Family Worship Center in Baton Rouge, Louisiana after it became public that he had an encounter with a lady of the evening in New Orleans.  He was defrocked by the Assemblies of God, reports The Christian Post. The Pentecostal preacher died on July 1st at the age of 90 after suffering a cardiac arrest recently. In the announcement from his official Facebook page on Tuesday, his family wrote, “Today, our hearts are heavy as we share that Brother Swaggart has finished his earthly race and entered into the presence of His Savior, Jesus Christ.” Swaggart's popularity peaked in the mid-1980s, reaching millions of households with his weekly telecasts. In his confession, the televangelist alluded to Micah 7:19. It says, “You [God] will again have compassion on us;   You will tread our sins underfoot and hurl all our iniquities into the depths of the sea.” Man's gold necklace cross deflected bullet And finally, a young man in Florida is thanking God for saving his life. Last month, 20-year-old Aiden Perry was shot in the chest, by accident, while visiting a friend's apartment.  The gun was only 10 feet away from him. The incident could have been much worse if it weren't for the gold cross necklace he was wearing. The necklace deflected the bullet from hitting major organs in his chest. Dr. Khafra Henry, who performed the surgery, explained to WESH-TV how Aiden's golden cross necklace was a blessing. HENRY:  “Of its metallic component, it actually shielded a lot of the force of the bullet, so the bullet ricocheted off the necklace and entered his chest wall. However, it was just in his fat tissues because it slowed down the trajectory of the bullet.” Dr. Henry noted what might have happened had Aiden not been wearing his golden cross. HENRY: “It could have been way worse, entering his chest wall itself, into the pleural space, which is the airspace around the lung, between the bones, and injuring his lung itself, or his heart.” Aiden said, “It's just kind of a reminder now – to never stop believing. Keep believing and God's definitely real.” In his comments to WESH-TV, he expressed gratitude to God. PERRY: “I think God played a big role in this. I think He's the reason I'm still here today.” In Matthew 10:29-31, Jesus asked, “Are not two sparrows sold for a copper coin? And not one of them falls to the ground apart from your Father's will. But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Do not fear therefore; you are of more value than many sparrows.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Thursday, July 3rd, in the year of our Lord 2025. Follow us on X or subscribe for free by Spotify, Amazon Music, or by iTunes or email to our unique Christian newscast at www.TheWorldview.com.  Plus, you can get the Generations app through Google Play or The App Store.

Billy Graham was frequently at the White House during the Bush/Regan Administration, yet I never had cause to personally encounter him.I was, however, privy to conversation about Billy Graham since my MK Ultra mind control owner US Senator Robert C Byrd often bragged about controlling him through Voice of God programming. (https://trance-formation.com/voice-of-god/)Unbeknownst to Billy Graham, he was being manipulated to blur the line between church and state, promoting politics to his followers. Graham's followers were strategically increased through DARPA/CIA harmonics, which were also the driving force behind Byrd's Voice of God programming. The formula for mind control is always the same, whether it is of an individual, classroom, military, church, nation, or the world.Harmonics vibrate neuron pathways in the brain for effective means of subconscious manipulation. Scientifically tuned frequencies both audible and subaudible were already being imbedded in popular music to create icons like MK Ultra's notorious Michael Jackson and, above all, to socially engineer the public. Of course this harmonic equipment is used in evangelical movements like it was in Billy Graham's!I'm often asked what I know about Billy Graham since apparently other survivors have named him as a complicit perpeTraitor, and my insight is not intended to discredit their assertions despite my experience being far removed from theirs. Instead, it is imperative to factor MK Ultra into the equation before conclusions are drawn. Consider that mind control is used on those who refuse to comply with the Deep State globalist dark agenda.Intelligence insider Mark Phillips, who was working the highest levels of intelligence to preserve the sanctity of free thought, reported being exposed to information on the MK Ultra manipulation of Billy Graham. Mark was livid to learn how churches – like every other aspect of society- were being covertly infiltrated. This outrage, along with seeing innocent citizens like my daughter and me used deep in the Wash DC MK Ultra human trafficking swamp, added to his determination to expose these crimes against humanity.How fortunate for my daughter and me that Mark chose to lift us free of our victimization. He knew, like experience taught me, that without free thought there is no free will ability to access the strength of the human spirit and infinite power of love. Mind control is ultimately a spiritual battle, which compounds the felony of controlling churches through MK Ultra means. It was my experience to have had exposure to the Jimmy Swaggart dynasty of complicit Deep State globalist controls. Swaggart was aware of harmonic means of manipulation, and chose to use the evangelical route to grow and control a congregation. His infamous admission “I have sinned” was a mere diversionary understatement of his true crimes against humanity.Swaggart's “missions” included MK Ultra mind control human trafficking and CIA cocaine ops. Traveling into Haiti, Mexico, and throughout the Caribbean, missionaries were used to inadvertently transport cocaine for CIA drug ops running through Bill Clinton's Mena operations and the Country Music industry. Further details are in my 1995 testimony for Congress, which was censored under National Security, TRANCE Formation of America. Swaggart's ministries interfaced with Billy Roy Moore's Lord's Chapel in Nashville, which is among several MK Ultra complicit churches I was used through in the 1980's. This gave me insight into Swaggart's Deep State operations that extended through his relatives associated with Country Music industry Mickey Gilley and Johnny Lee.  Read full article on Cathy's website here!

How did this happen? The most dominant cultural form turned out to be the most depraved ever produced in this country or anywhere else. Researchers have discovered that the hip hop cultural form outpaced the Beatles in its pervasive and omnipresent influence upon American culture. Their study looked at differences in chords, rhythms and tonal properties over 50 years of top chart hits. This brings up the more important question: how does one "redeem" cultural forms including the middle finger, hiphop, the Nazi swastika, and the playboy bunny? This program includes: 1.

We'll hear from a reporter who was there to capture the chaotic reaction outside the courthouse. The head of a French hotel and restaurant association reacts to the country's new limits on outdoor smoking -- by saying that if they come for his patios, it would be a drag. On the fourth anniversary of the deadly fire in Lytton, B.C., one first responder tells us he and his team have learned to be prepared to fight off new fires all the time -- as they had to do just this week. Remembering the late Jimmy Swaggart's appearance on this program in 1987, when he accused fellow televangelist Jim Bakker of immoral character -- just months before his own catastrophic fall from grace. A British musician explains how she created a haunting piece of music with an orchestra made up of more than 80 species of moths. And…Thousands of Norwegians were told they'd won millions in the lottery -- only for the lottery CEO to tell them they hadn't, and apologize for accidentally putting the decimal point in the wrong place.

Wednesday, and it's David Waldman and Greg Dworkin's last live appearance before Explodey Day! Probably not their last alive appearance, though. They don't seem the types to screw around with such things. Zohran, the Destroyer! Zohran, the Magnificent! Zohran, the Relatable! Nothing scares Democrats more than winning, because if you win... you could lose. And yet… sometimes a win or two will slip in, like in New Jersey, or maybe around San Diego. Of course, winning just invites death threats. Don't worry Dems, Trump says he holds all the levers, and well, he kind of does. Paramount anted up its $16 M (to make $8 B), and the bag gets passed back to CNN. Lisa Murkowski got hers, if you want any, you be a Senator. Trump had a great time in the undrained swamp. What is it about “Alligator Alcatraz” that seems to resonate with MAGA? Does it harken back to a time America could rediscover its lost… greatness? Sean “Diddy” Combs escaped sex trafficking and racketeering charges but was convicted of a prostitution offense. Jimmy Swaggart would probably forgive that, but can't look to Donald Trump for forgiveness, for the moment. Jared L. Wise, who wanted to kill police on Jan 6, has been given an opportunity to do so at the DOJ. University of Virginia president James E. Ryan took one for the team, and the team's hundreds of millions in federal funding and resigned, to give Trump his biggest kill yet. LOL libtards! What happened to all that tariff disaster you said was heading our way? Wait… Oh, this just in….

Here at MinistryWatch, we have become all too familiar with the allure and the dangers of celebrity preachers. One of the things you will here me say often is that we humans are not meant to be celebrities. We're not wired for it. Celebrityhood is a condition that wars against the health of our soul. And yet…we Americans, and American evangelicals in particular, have an addiction to celebrities. To use the words from the Joni Mitchell song, our star-making machinery keeps spitting them out. And when these celebrities burn out, or meltdown, we brush them aside and make more. Jim Bakker, Ted Haggard, Ravi Zacharias, Mark Driscoll, Jimmy Swaggart, Bill Hybels. How much time do you have, because this list could go on and on. All of this is why Molly Worthen's new book caught my attention. It's called Spellbound: How Charisma Shaped American History from the Puritans to Donald Trump. Molly is one of those rare academics – she's a professor at the University of North Carolina – who writes in readable, compelling ways. And her discussion of what she calls charisma, which she says differs from celebrity or charm, is fascinating and has opened up my eyes to new ways of seeing some of the characteristics of the modern evangelical church. If Molly Worthen's name sounds familiar to you, it could be because I've cited her often in my own work. Her book Apostles of Reason: The Crisis of Authority in American Evangelicalism, was helpful to me when it was published ten years ago. I should also add that since the publication of that first book, Molly Worthen herself has had a conversion experience and now counts herself as a born-again Christian. I ask her about that near the end of this conversation, and I would invite you to stick around to the end to hear her interesting and – to my way of thinking – encouraging personal story. The producer for today's program is Jeff McIntosh. Until next time, may God bless you.

AP correspondent Julie Walker reports Televangelist Jimmy Swaggart, whose ministry was toppled by prostitution scandals, dies at 90.

Send us a textA powerful exposé of how television preaching transformed from spiritual ministry to profitable business model, forever changing American Christianity. The story begins with Fred Davis, the forgotten pioneer who created the template for religious broadcasting while retaining control of all advertising revenue—a model that would launch countless televangelists into wealth and influence.The conversation reveals how mega-churches became deeply entangled with political interests during the 1970s and 80s. In exchange for tax-exempt status and financial support, these growing congregations provided their membership lists to politicians, creating a mutually beneficial arrangement that explains why the same politicians who advocate separation of church and state regularly appear in pulpits during election seasons.This historical foundation helps listeners understand the development of Christian nationalism and the political connections maintained by influential figures like Pat Robertson, Jimmy Swaggart, Jerry Falwell, and others. Their ministries weren't merely spiritual enterprises but functioning businesses leveraging tax advantages while serving political interests.The discussion challenges popular end-times teachings by examining what Scripture actually says about the Antichrist (mentioned only five times in the Bible), Daniel's 70 weeks prophecy, and Jesus' clear statement that "this generation will not pass away until all these things take place." Through careful biblical analysis, the podcast dismantles common misunderstandings about the rapture, showing how it follows ancient Middle Eastern customs where citizens would meet arriving royalty outside the city to escort them back—not to disappear people from earth.Perhaps most provocative is the examination of teachings about a future rebuilt temple in Jerusalem. If Jews were to reinstitute animal sacrifices after Christ's perfect sacrifice, wouldn't this itself be an abomination? How could an "abomination of desolation" occur in a temple that would already dishonor God's completed work?Listen now to discover how understanding these historical and theological truths can free you from deception and deepen your appreciation for what Christ has already accomplished.Support the show
