In a dramatic overnight operation, U.S. forces capture and arrest Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro inside a heavily fortified Caracas compound, flying him to New York to face sweeping federal charges. The Trump administration calls it a precise law-enforcement action, while critics warn it risks war, constitutional overreach, and chaos for Venezuela's future. A viral investigation alleges massive taxpayer fraud tied to Somali-run childcare and healthcare operations in Minnesota, prompting a federal payment freeze and a growing FBI probe. Far-left democratic socialist Zohran Mamdani is sworn in as New York City mayor and immediately moves to erase his predecessor's policies. Riverbend Ranch: Visit https://riverbendranch.com/ | Use promo code MEGYN for $20 off your first order. Lean: If you want to lose meaningful weight at a healthy pace and keep it off...

Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Kevin Cohee. Purpose of the Interview The interview aimed to: Highlight OneUnited Bank’s mission as the largest Black-owned and first Black-owned internet bank in America. Educate listeners on financial literacy, technology-driven banking, and economic empowerment in underserved communities. Promote OneUnited Bank’s products and services as solutions for financial challenges faced by Black Americans and others lacking access to traditional banking. Key Takeaways Historical Context & Mission The concept of a national Black-owned bank dates back to leaders like Booker T. Washington, W.E.B. Du Bois, and Martin Luther King Jr., who emphasized economic empowerment. OneUnited Bank was formed through acquisitions and later pivoted to technology-driven banking. Technology & Innovation OneUnited embraced AI and data aggregation over a decade ago to create products that help customers understand assets, liabilities, and net worth in real time. Banking has shifted from physical branches to digital platforms, enabling nationwide access. Financial Literacy Crisis 90% of Americans lack financial literacy, largely because it’s not taught in schools. Cohee advocates for mandatory K–12 financial literacy education, citing studies showing it can add $126,000 to lifetime net worth. Products Designed for Real Needs CashPlease: Short-term emergency loans at affordable rates. Second Chance Checking: Helps rebuild credit. Savings Programs: Often in collaboration with employers. These products address real-life challenges like low emergency savings and predatory check-cashing fees.

The only difference is we’re smarter and we have better technology.” “Technology and AI allow anyone to make decisions like they were an expert.” “If we taught financial literacy in schools, it would create over $100,000 in net worth per person over their lifetime.” “You don’t have to go to check cashers and get ripped off. Just go to oneunited.com.” “We’ve been working on AI for over a decade. We’re not coming to the party—we are the party.” “Our generation has technology and communication skills.

As a mom, I crave guidance and a structure of my day. Most moms I know do too, to some extent! What I've been reflecting on lately is why I prefer structure, and I've realized that when I have structure, my heart and mind are more orientated toward God. When there is less structure, my mind is constantly troubleshooting and reacting. Which can sometimes make it feel like I'm less connected to God and my purpose, leaving me more sad and discouraged. Which is why I've always been attracted to the idea of a Rule of Life, but I've honestly rejected it more often than not, from my own misunderstanding of its rigidity. Especially through various seasons of life and motherhood, like pregnancy, postpartum, and littles. Here's the thing, as a Catholic homeschooling mother, our work is hidden, repetitive, and often interrupted, and yet this is exactly where God is working.  God isn't waiting for your life to settle down. He is here with you now.  Which is actually why having a Rule of Life is actually so valuable! It helps you anchor yourself in Him within the work He calls you to do throughout the day. In today's Happy, Holy Mama Podcast episode, I share how having a Rule can help you shape your goals and define your roles, focused on having purpose for your day with a spiritual framework, and a way to live the mission God has placed on your heart with mercy and charity.  And in the podcast today, I'll even give you some ways to vary your own Rule of Life depending on the season you're in, to help you remember that your children and daily responsibilities are not obstacles to your spiritual life, they are part of your path to holiness. So grab your earbuds and join me  for: Mission Living and Creating a Rule of Life as a Catholic Homeschooler. Join the Happy, Holy Mama Waitlist HERE!

As we look ahead to the new year, Pastor Maiola looks back to remember our vision as a church. Rather than introducing a new vision, Maiola introduces The Four Pillars, basing them off of timeless Biblical principles, making them practical and portable for everyday life. Together, these four pillars unite the heart and vision here at One Love: living for God's glory, standing firm in the power of the Gospel, loving faithfully to disciple others, and being sent to make disciples in the world.

Did Fentanyl Almost Kill a Cop? One Deputy's Story of Trauma, Survival, and a Mission to Help Others. Special Episode. For years, fentanyl has dominated headlines as a driving force behind America's overdose crisis. What's discussed far less often is how this drug impacts the first responders who encounter it in the line of duty. For Deputy Jeff Brown, a long-serving law enforcement officer, accidental fentanyl exposure didn't just spark a frightening moment, it caused permanent injuries, ongoing trauma, and a new mission focused on helping others. The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast on social media like their Facebook , Instagram , LinkedIn , Medium and other social media platforms. By any measure, Jeff Brown is a law enforcement hero. But one accidental fentanyl exposure nearly ended his life, and forever changed it. This special episode is streaming for free on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast website, on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, and most every major Podcast platform This is not just a story for the news-cycle. It's a story meant to be shared on Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, and across platforms like the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast website, Apple Podcasts and Spotify, because it speaks to the hidden cost of service, the reality of trauma, stress, PTSD, and the lasting injuries many heroes carry long after the call ends. Supporting articles about this and much more from Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast in platforms like Medium , Blogspot and Linkedin . Accidental Fentanyl Exposure Almost Claimed His Life Jeff Brown had built a distinguished law enforcement career when one routine encounter with drug abusers turned into a life-threatening emergency. During the incident, Jeff and his backup deputies were accidentally exposed to fentanyl. The effects were immediate and terrifying. Had it not been for department-issued Narcan and the training the deputies received, Jeff believes he and others would not have survived. In a matter of minutes, deputies were forced to save each other's lives. Did Fentanyl Almost Kill a Cop? One Deputy's Story of Trauma, Survival, and a Mission to Help Others. Special Episode. Look for The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast on social media like their Facebook , Instagram , LinkedIn , Medium and other social media platforms. They lived, but not without consequence. For Jeff, the exposure caused permanent damage to his heart, altering his health and his future. What should have been just another shift became the defining moment of his life. The Aftermath: Injuries, Recovery, and a Broken System Surviving the incident was only the beginning. Jeff openly talks about: The physical recovery and lingering medical issues The emotional toll and ongoing stress Battles with Worker's Compensation The lack of understanding surrounding first responder injuries The rarely discussed crime problem in a tourist-driven resort area Like many first responders, Jeff learned that surviving the job does not guarantee support afterward. The system often struggles to recognize invisible injuries, especially when fear, misinformation, and stigma surround incidents involving fentanyl. Did Fentanyl Almost Kill a Cop? One Deputy's Story of Trauma, Survival, and a Mission to Help Others. Special Episode. Available for free on their website and streaming on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Youtube and other podcast platforms. Fentanyl Misinformation and First Responder Trauma In 2016, the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) released advisories warning that simply touching or inhaling fentanyl could be fatal within minutes. Images of tiny, allegedly lethal doses circulated widely, reinforcing fear among first responders. At the time, the narrative felt plausible. Illicit fentanyl was flooding the streets, and officers had limited information. Later, medical experts, including the American College of Medical Toxicology and the American Academy of Clinical Toxicology clarified that incidental exposure leading to overdose is extremely unlikely. Other countries adjusted their guidance accordingly. Special Episode. The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast episode is available for free on their website , Apple Podcasts , Spotify and most major podcast platforms. But misinformation lingers, and it carries consequences. Officers who believe they've been exposed can experience panic attacks, hyperventilation, vertigo, and racing heart rates. These symptoms are real and distressing, yet often misinterpreted as fentanyl toxicity. In a culture where fear is seen as weakness, these events can go under-reported or misdiagnosed, potentially leading to delayed or inappropriate medical care. We stand by this critical point: Accidental fentanyl exposure can have drastic effects when combined with preexisting health conditions, particularly involving the heart. These incidents deserve serious, compassionate, and accurate medical evaluation. Did Fentanyl Almost Kill a Cop? One Deputy's Story of Trauma, Survival, and a Mission to Help Others. Special Episode. The special episode can be found on The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast website, on Apple podcasts, Spotify, Youtube and on LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram, and across most podcast platforms where listeners will find authentic law enforcement stories. The FDA Warning: When Fentanyl Exposure Is Truly Deadly While incidental exposure myths persist among adults, there is one area where the danger is undisputed. The FDA warns that accidental exposure to fentanyl patches continues to be deadly to children. Fentanyl patches are prescribed for opioid-tolerant patients and release fentanyl through the skin over several days. Tragically, children have died after: Putting used or unused patches in their mouths Sticking patches onto their skin Even used patches can contain enough fentanyl to be fatal. The FDA urges caregivers to: Store patches securely Dispose of them properly Keep naloxone readily available If a child is suspected of exposure, call 911 immediately. Trauma, PTSD, and the Cost of Service Jeff's story highlights a truth many don't want to face: trauma doesn't end when the sirens stop. First responders routinely carry: Cumulative stress Psychological trauma PTSD Chronic health problems These issues affect not only their careers but their families, hobbies, and identities. For many even the simple joys of fishing and hunting, once outlets for peace, were impacted by his injuries and recovery. Did Fentanyl Almost Kill a Cop?

The full podcast episode is streaming now on their website, on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Youtube and across Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn. Turning Pain Into Purpose: Hometown Heroes Alliance Instead of walking away, Jeff chose to give back. He now dedicates his time to Hometown Heroes Alliance, a nonprofit organization that supports wounded, injured, and disabled first responders, those who are often left financially and emotionally vulnerable after serving their communities. Hometown Heroes Alliance focuses on: Raising awareness for injured first responders Providing financial, physical, and emotional support Hosting benefit events, including concerts Producing brand-funded television and digital media to amplify impact From hurricane-stricken areas in Florida and Texas to less-publicized tragedies across the country, the organization helps heroes who lost homes, suffered disabling injuries, or sacrificed everything while protecting others.

On the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast website on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Youtube, Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, and most major podcast platforms. As long as there are heroes answering the call, there will be a need for compassion—and action. A Story That Needs to Be Heard Jeff Brown's journey is more than a headline. It's a reminder that behind every badge is a human being who absorbs trauma so others don't have to. This story belongs on every platform, Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, Apple, Spotify, and Podcast networks, because awareness saves lives, corrects misinformation, and honors those who continue to serve, even after the job nearly takes everything from them. He survived fentanyl exposure. He lives with the injuries. And he refuses to stop fighting for his fellow heroes.

The sermon from Redeemer Church in Midland, Texas, kicks off the new year by reminding believers of their core identity as a gospel-centered, missional family—anchored in Jesus Christ, urgently called to share the gospel, and committed to genuine community. Drawing from Jesus' high priestly prayer in John 17, Pastor Jason Hatch explores how Christians are sent into the world (but not of it) to carry on His mission, emphasizing that we were made for more than spectator faith—we're designed for active engagement in God's redemptive work, finding true joy and purpose in proclaiming the gospel amid a changing world.   Website: redeemermidland.org Instagram: instagram.com/redeemermidland Facebook: facebook.com/RedeemerMidland   At Redeemer, we seek to be a Gospel-Centered, Missional Family. We sing songs to worship our Lord, we preach the Word of God from the Bible, and we love one another.   We would love to see you on a Sunday morning at 9:00 or 11:00 am at 3601 N. Lamesa Rd in Midland, Texas.

Vision. Mission. Values.

John 1:35-51

Seit einem Klippensprung vor 35 Jahren ist er querschnittgelähmt und hat den Schicksalsschlag als Motor und Mission genommen: Zum Start ins neue Jahr ist Boris Grundl, Führungsexperte und Motivationstrainer, zu Gast im Ö3-„Frühstück bei mir“.„Wie können wir unsere Vorsätze durchhalten und 2026 neue Ziele erreichen?“ fragt Claudia Stöckl den Speaker, der auch Gastdozent an deutschen Universitäten ist: „Veränderung ist ein innerer Widerstand gegen das Leben, deshalb tun wir uns mit Veränderung schwer. Wenn wir lernen was Widerstand hervorruft, können wir uns leichter in die Veränderung begeben“, rät Boris Grundl da und er regt an: „Verliebe dich in das Ergebnis und die Veränderung fällt leichter.“ Grundl spricht über sein neues Buch ("Die Lust an Verantwortung") und warum das Übernehmen von Verantwortung unsere Entwicklung fördert, über Loslassen und Fokussierung und seine spezielle Lebenssituation. (Dieser Beitrag begleitet die Sendung "Frühstück bei mir", Ö3, 4. Jänner 2026)

Our tendency is to run from God's call or begrudgingly accept it. We don't like to admit it, but we act like Jonah, even as we follow God. Thankfully, Jesus didn't run from God's mission, nor did he complain about it. We can trust what Jesus calls us to do, even if it means giving up on our preconceived ideas about what the mission might look like as we follow in faith. Join us at 9am or 11am each Sunday and bring a friend!

Send us a textThis is the first episode of 2026 — and it sets the tone for everything that comes next.In this solo episode of Kyle Talks, Kyle lays out a simple but ambitious goal for the year ahead: bring back the art of conversation.Not perfect conversations. Not easy conversations. Real conversations.Whether your goal this year is personal growth, rebuilding confidence, learning discipline, or simply connecting better with people around you, this episode is an invitation to step forward — together.In this episode, Kyle reflects on:• Why goals mean nothing without action • How having better conversations is a form of discipline • Why understanding does not require agreement • The role of emotion in disagreement — and how to handle it • When it's healthy to walk away from a conversation • Why casual conversations matter just as much as serious ones • How self-control changes the tone of dialogue • What it means to listen in a culture that rewards shouting • Why Kyle Talks exists — and where it's headed in 2026This episode isn't about being right. It's about being present, curious, and human.Kyle challenges listeners to take responsibility for the conversations they're part of — at home, online, at work, and in the world — and reminds us that changing culture doesn't start with institutions. It starts with people choosing to talk.A question for listeners:What's one conversation you've been avoiding — and what would it look like to approach it with honesty and self-control?The Mission for 2026Kyle Talks is about talking to people again. Agreeing. Disagreeing. Laughing. Listening. Building connection without dehumanization.This year is about showing up imperfectly and continuing anyway.If this episode resonated with you, consider leaving a review or sharing it with someone you'd like to have a better conversation with. Invite them to the table.Let's talk.Social Media:Insta/X: kyleTHEhortonYoutube: KyletalkssTiktok: KyleTalkssIntro: Head In The Clouds by Matthew MorelockOutro: Surfaces Type Beat - Jellyfish BeatsSupport the show

Shalom: The Story of Peace - The Mission of Shalom | Jeremiah 29:4-7, 2 Corinthians 5:16-21 | Jared Osselaer | December 28, 2025

Men – especially fathers – aren't wired for comfort. We are wired for responsibility, challenge, and mission. When a man loses his purpose, he doesn't drift… He deteriorates. And when fathers lose their edge, families feel it. If you are a man who feels stuck, bored or restless… This is for you. If you are a good dad, but you feel empty inside and you have no real challenge pushing you anymore and you feel like you're just surviving instead of building… This is for you. I hope you enjoy and if you do, please share it.

Happy New Year! As 2025 comes to a close, the team looks back on the stories from the True Sunlight Podcast that defined the year, and the systems that made them possible. In this special year-end episode, Mandy provides an update on Cory Fleming's ‘Early Release' and LUNASHARK's digital librarian Kate Thomas takes listeners on a journey through twelve audio clips, one from each month, highlighting the investigations, interviews, and turning points that shaped LUNASHARK's work in 2025. From Pastor JP Miller's lawsuit warfare and eventual federal indictment, to the corruption exposed in Scott Spivey's killing, to Karl Stoller's silencing in the Bowen Turner case—this episode traces the patterns of corruption, the protection of powerful men, and the systemic failures that continue to plague America's justice systems. But we also celebrate the wins: Lee Gilley's indictment in Texas, the charging of former Deputy Billy Squires, the federal cyberstalking charges brought against JP Miller, and federal Child Sexual Abuse Material charges for former SC state rep RJ May and former long-time magistrate judge James Gosnell. Gosnell has pleaded not guilty. This isn't just a recap—it's a reminder of why sunlight matters, why this work must continue, and why your support makes accountability possible. As we look toward 2026, one truth remains clear: the work is far from over, but together, we're making a difference…. And That Is A Big Deal!
