Hunger is one of the most pressing challenges of our time—driven not only by a lack of food, but by inequality, conflict, climate change, and health crises. For more than 45 years, Action Against Hunger has been on the frontlines of addressing these interconnected issues. The organization works in nearly 60 countries, reaching over 21 million people annually through lifesaving nutrition programs, sustainable farming solutions, clean water systems, and innovations that help communities withstand future crises. Action Against Hunger is pioneering solutions that save lives today while tackling the root causes of hunger for tomorrow.We invited Eric Bebernitz, Director of External Relations for Action Against Hunger, to elaborate on this critical work. With more than two decades of experience in humanitarian and social justice organizations, Eric brings a powerful perspective on what it takes to fight hunger in the most difficult contexts. Eric is joined by ~9,000 colleagues worldwide—95% of whom are from the countries where they work—ensuring that every effort is grounded in local knowledge and built for long-term resilience. They embody the belief that ending hunger isn't just possible; it is one of the smartest investments we can make in a better future for all.Listen for insights on:Approaches to sustaining impact amid political and funding shiftsHow to balance emergency aid with long-term changeBuilding trust and resilience in fragile communities through local leadershipResources + Links:Eric Bebernitz's LinkedInAction Against HungerPlumpy'NutNew York Times: A $45 Treatment Can Save a Starving Child.

In this Trinity Forum Conversation, author Lanta Davis, along with special guest host and Trinity Forum Senior Fellow Jessica Hooten Wilson, delve into the power of imagination and its role in our spiritual formation. The discussion centers on Davis's book Becoming by Beholding, which explores Christian imagination through art, literature, and historical practices.These friends and scholars discuss the transformative potential of engaging with sacred art, the virtues, and traditional practices like Lectio Divina:"In Jesus's parables ... He's constantly showing us that there's more hidden behind the surface than we think. The mustard seed is not just a mustard seed. Yeast is not just yeast ... Jesus shows us heavenly meanings ... This is what the incarnation helps us understand, that the divine is not just up above. It's all around us. It's here and now. That when God became matter, all the material world changed because of it."We hope this conversation will resonate with you as you explore the good, the true, and the beautiful in your own corner of creation.

In May of 2008, 19-year-old Brandon Swanson vanished after calling his parents after he drove his car into a ditch in the middle of the night. What followed was a 47-minute phone conversation filled with reassurance, confusion, and ultimately, a chilling final exclamation—“Oh, shit”—before the line went silent forever.In this episode of They Disappeared, we retrace Brandon's final known moments and the labyrinth of unknowns that followed. From rural gravel roads to a scent trail that led to—and beyond—a river, we explore the theories that continue to circle his case: accident, foul play, misjudged location, or something far more complex.We also examine the evolving investigative tools that could finally bring clarity to the mystery, including drone imaging, forensic genetic genealogy, and underwater sonar mapping. And we reflect on the legacy Brandon left behind—not just in memory, but in law—with the passing of "Brandon's Law," which forever changed how missing adults are treated in Minnesota.This is more than a case. It's a moment suspended in time. A call unanswered. A question still echoing through the fields of southwestern Minnesota. What happened to Brandon Swanson?Listen now to The Last Word—an episode that refuses to let silence be the final answer.To access exclusive content, visit our Patreon page:https://www.patreon.com/TheyDisappearedPodcastBe sure to check out our website: www.theydisappearedpodcast.comFacebookThis episode was produced by Katie Haze Productions To see more of her work visit her at katiehaze.com

We lead this week's show with a few short news announcements, including new menu items from McDonalds to excite John, and the debut of a new podcast competitor: Hadley Arkes and his merry band at the James Wilson Institute have launched "The 'Natural Law Moment' Podcast," surely goaded by our constant mangling of his central arguments. WE hope to have a crossover episode with Hadley at some early opportunity, if we can ever get our difficult schedules sorted out.This round-robin format episode features a vigorous discussion of whether Obama and the Deep Staters (sounds like a bad bar-band, no?) are vulnerable to criminal charges for their obviously bad faith behavior in creating the Russia Hoax back in 2016, whether Obama is immune from prosecution because of the ruling last year of Trump v. US, and whether these actions properly rise to the level of "treason" as is alleged by DNI Tulsi Gabbard. Our second segment reflects on a pair of articles Steve and John wrote for a Civitas Outlook symposium last week on "Statemanship and the American Presidency." John Yoo's entry slobbers over the legacy of Andrew Jackson, whileSteve's entry, "Taming the 21st Century Prince," is a more philosophical exploration of the issue, and, contrary to the careless calumnies and reckless imprecations of John, does not contain a single reference to the Clean Air Act!And our final segment delves into a recent bold law review article by a young lawyer friend of ours, Deion Kathawa, entitled "'We the People' Are the Last Word on the Meaning of Our Constitution." His argument is bracing: Congress, because it is the political organ closest to the people, should have the power to override Supreme Court decisions. While agreeing with Kathawa's premise about the ultimate constitutional sovereignty of the people on account of the first principles of the Declaration of Independence, we're skeptical about his proposed remedy. What do listeners think? (We hope to have Deion on as a guest at some point soon to defend himself.)Finally, some new AI generated 3WHH custom poetry, and more revenge bumper music.
We're back as Summer rolls on with more on sports media takes, ratings and interviews on the "Last Word on Sports Media Podcast."Host T.J. Rives is back with more on:Scottie Scheffler winning another golf major and actually brining more audience for NBC on Sunday late morning/early afternoon.The WNBA All Star Game last Saturday night predicably having a dud audience on ABC (down over 30%) with Caitlin Clark injured and unable to play.And, what about FS1 cable turning to Dave Portnoy's "Barstool Sports" to help their lifeless audience numbers during the week, etc.?Then, T.J. brings aboard Pro Football Hall of Fame voter, noted NFL author and national writer Jason Cole to go over some top stories. What's going on with the NFL Players Association and the ouster of their executive director. And, why isn't it seemingly getting more media and public scrutiny? Jason and T.J. debate. Plus, they talk some interesting storylines for the upcming season.The show wraps with T.J. giving thoughts on Paramount/CBS cancelling Steven Colbert's late night show on the network- a show failing in audience and losing massive money. Where have you gone Johnny Carson?!It's all on the "Last Word on Sports Media Podcast" and make sure to follow/subscribe on Apple/Spreaker/Spotify, etc.!
Today, we're keeping the gentleness discussion going. We are invited to get out of our hurried, harsh, screen-ridden worlds and into God's world–the real world, full of life and joy. We're reflecting on this truth from Jesus in Matthew 11: “I am gentle and lowly in heart.” Gentle and lowly? What countercultural words. And this isn't the watered-down kind of gentleness; this is full-on fruit-of-the-spirit gentleness. Like John teaches, people can often misunderstand this. It's not softness, weakness, or meekness. Gentleness is steady, and it actually begins at home in overcoming our harsh inner critics.Become New is here to help you grow spiritually one day at a time.
