Also, with the various hits and misses in the box office these days, what specifically is it that moviegoers want? What will they show up for?

Author & essayist Sven Birkerts returns to the show to celebrate his fantastic new essay collection, The Miró Worm and the Mysteries of Writing (Arrowsmith Press). We talk about the estrangement of the everyday, the problem of other minds, how serendipity tells us something about where we are, authors' photos and self-mythologizing, moving house (& turning 70) during COVID, and the inspiration of Cortazar's Around the Day in Eighty Worlds. We get into the threat of AI to writing, reading, and thinking, opening up to ambivalence, why people find it so tough to say the word "soul", what he misses about teaching, Kierkegaard & Walker Percy's The Moviegoer & being on The Search, and wondering what Bob Dylan is like in the kitchen in the morning. We also discuss writers' homes & graves and the myth of inspiration, his new Sketches From Memory essays and how they've opened him up as a writer, how we build circles of affinity, how his father's career as an architect influenced his eye (but not his writing), why people find it so tough to say the word "soul", and more.

It's Tuesday, September 3rd, A.D. 2024. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 125 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Kevin Swanson Nicaragua bans another 92 religious groups Daniel Ortega's government has cancelled legal recognition of another 92 religious organizations in Nicaragua. It's all part of a cancellation of 1,651 civil social organizations. That brings to a total of 5,552 organizations that have been blackballed by the Nicaraguan government. Of the most recent cancellations, most prominent are the Episcopal Church of Nicaragua, which has had a presence in the region since 1612, and the Moravian Church of Nicaragua, which was established in 1847. And, to add insult to injury, the Ortega government has announced they will be taxing churches of their monies received from tithes and offerings, at a rate of 10 to 30%, according to La Prensa.   In fact, La Prensa itself lost its facilities to the government in 2022, and 135 reporters have been in exile since then. Mexico, Syria, and Pakistan: Top 3 most dangerous for journalists The nation where it is most dangerous to work in journalism is Mexico, followed by Syria, Pakistan, Yemen, and the Congo. That's according to a recent report from Reporters Without Borders. Denmark and Norway eager to kill more babies Both Denmark and Norway are allowing for more killing of babies, by liberalizing their abortion laws this year.  They have legalized abortion to 18 weeks of pregnancy, up from 12 weeks.  However, Parliament has still to vote on the Norwegian proposal. According to a report from the Council on Foreign Relations, “Since 2020, Argentina and Thailand legalized abortions, with certain gestational limits; South Korea decriminalized abortion; and New Zealand eased its abortion restrictions. … Colombia has made abortion legal on demand up to twenty-four weeks of pregnancy, and Mexico decriminalized abortion as well.  Only Honduras, Poland, and the United States have contemplated more restrictions on abortion of late.” Psalm 46:6-7 says, “The nations rage, the kingdoms totter; He utters His voice, the Earth melts. The Lord of Hosts is with us. The God of Jacob is our refuge.” Chinese stock hit another low The Chinese Shanghai Stock Index has hit another low, representing a downward trend since May 2021. The far east markets have failed to improve any since 2006.  Vermont schools bans use of terms: “Sons and daughters” The Vermont Department of Health has issues guidelines, advising public school teachers not to use terms like “Sons and Daughters,” but to prefer gender-neutral terms like kids or children. African Methodist Episcopalians demanding reparations The African Methodist Episcopal denomination is demanding reparations for sins committed by previous generations against African immigrants. The meeting of 15,000 delegates and observers also received video greetings from President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris. The denomination voted down an initiative to legitimize homosexual marriage — and remanded the matter back to committee.  God's law, as stated in Ezekiel 18:20, reminds us that, “The soul who sins shall die. The son shall not suffer for the iniquity of the father, nor the father suffer for the iniquity of the son. The righteousness of the righteous shall be upon himself, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon himself.” Ford, Lowe's Tractor Supply Co, & Harley Davidson renounce DEI Big business is getting cold feet on the Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion programs. So far, Ford Motor Company, Lowe's, John Deere, Tractor Supply Co., and Harley Davidson have changed their approaches to DEI policies. More companies are backing away from participating in the pro-homosexual Human Rights Campaign's Corporate Equality Index. 68% of Evangelicals plan to vote for Trump A recent Deseret/HarrisX poll found that 51% of Christians and 68% of Evangelicals are planning on voting for Donald Trump in the upcoming election — that despite Trump's announcement he would oppose a federal abortion ban. Separately, a Washington Post-ABC-Ipsos poll found that 78% of white Evangelicals are planning to vote for Donald Trump this November.  That compares to 76% of white Evangelicals voting for Trump in the 2020 election, according to Gallup polling. The HarrisX poll found Catholics are split exactly 46% to 46% on Trump and Harris in the upcoming election.  Reagan movie beloved by moviegoers but despised by liberal critics And finally, Reagan, the new film starring Dennis Quaid as the 40th president, was released over Labor Day weekend. It nearly doubled expectations at the box office, bringing in $9.2 million in total. The film set the record for the largest disparity between an audience score and the critics score. The critics savaged the film with an average Rotten Tomatoes rating of 20%. Meanwhile, the audience scored the film at a 98% approval rating.   My kids and I saw it this past Saturday in San Antonio, Texas along with three friends. It was an inspiring and touching film.  I recommend it highly. Watch the Reagan trailer and get tickets at www.Reagan.movie.   The Boondock Saints movie, released in 2000, produced a 65% divide between critics and audience scores. And the Kendrick Brothers' movie Facing the Giants, released in 2006, produced a 69% divide between critics and audience scores.

On this day in 1964, 'Mary Poppins' premiered at Grauman’s Chinese Theater in Hollywood. The film was a huge commercial success, going on to become the highest-grossing Disney movie at the time.

The Director of the Secret Service has resigned, just one day after facing a barrage of tough questions on Capitol Hill about the assassination attempt on former President Trump. The bombshell news comes as we get our first look at the shooter's father who faced some questions of his own. And five days after that computer glitch that caused chaos around the world, there are still major problems. Hundreds more flights were canceled or delayed today with passengers sleeping on airport floors. The problem has also led to a shortage of rental cars…but that wasn't going to stop one dad from meeting up with his family on vacation. As Jim Moret reports, it was U-Haul to the rescue. Twisters, the sequel to the 1996 blockbuster Twister is gearing up to be the biggest hit of the summer. Moviegoers watching the new action thriller are leaving the theater feeling like they were caught in a real life tornado. You've heard of 3D movies, now comes 4DX and be prepared to get blown away! And Kamala Harris may have been our Vice President for the last four years, but there are still lots of things you may not know about her. Now that she has announced she's running for the most powerful job in the nation, many are taking a look back at her most memorable moments.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

She was a powerful woman with God, who influenced the lives of so many immigrants in New York during her life. Moviegoers and Angel Studios enthusiasts will be getting to know Mother Cabrini and be introduced to her story. This might leave some with a desire to know more. Lucky for them, Sophia Institute Press has released The Mother Cabrini Companion by Kristen Theriault. In this conversation with Fr. Looney, Kristen shares how Mother Cabrini has influenced her and how her letters and words can be inspiration to those learning about her for the first time.

David Livingstone was the real deal, a prime example of faith, courage, and endurance over the long haul. We explore the extraordinary career of this missionary and explorer. We consider his indispensable work of putting an end to the wretched slave trade coming out of East Africa. Compared to Ernest Shackleton, who completed his impossible mission over 2 years . . . Livingstone endured 30 years of unrelenting opposition and untoward circumstances. Here is an encouragement to read biographies, and something of the spirit needed to get into them. This program includes:  1. The World View in 5 Minutes with Adam McManus (U.S. churches faced 915 acts of hostility, Moviegoers want faith accurately portrayed, Greece legalized faux homosexual marriage)  2. Generations with Kevin Swanson

It's Wednesday, February 21st, A.D. 2024. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard at www.TheWorldview.com. I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Jonathan Clark Pakistan released an imprisoned Christian man In a rare move, officials in Pakistan released a Christian man accused of desecrating the Quran. Such acts are punishable by death in the Muslim-majority nation. Police arrested 72-year-old Younis Bhatti earlier this month. The complainant in the case later admitted to falsely accusing him. However, just the announcement of the accusation led to 500 Muslims protesting. Many Christians in the area had to flee their homes. After being released, Bhatti said, “I can't thank God enough for rescuing me from this dangerous accusation. Those who sought to implicate me in the fake case were instead booked under the same charges. This is how God works when you put your faith in Him fully.” In Psalm 142:7, King David prayed, “Bring my soul out of prison, that I may praise Your name; the righteous shall surround me, for You shall deal bountifully with me.” Greece legalized faux homosexual marriage Last Thursday, lawmakers in Greece voted to legalize faux homosexual marriage. The country had legalized civil unions for homosexual couples in 2015. The new legislation allows homosexual couples to both have legal guardianship over children.  The country is predominantly Greek Orthodox in terms of religion. As such, it is the first Orthodox-majority nation to legalize people living in vile passions with the same sex. Greece is now the 16th country in Europe and the 35th in the world to legalize such relationships.  The Greek Orthodox Church opposed the legislation. Archbishop Ieronymos II with the Orthodox Church said the measure would “corrupt the homeland's social cohesion.” U.S. churches faced 915 acts of hostility since 2018 The Family Research Council released a report on hostility against churches in the U.S. this month. Between 2018 and 2023, American churches faced at least 915 acts of hostility. Attacks include vandalism, arson, gun-related incidents, and bomb threats. Churches faced 436 incidents last year. That's more than double the number in 2022 and more than eight times the number in 2018.  Tony Perkins, the President of the Family Research Council, said, “There is a common connection between the growing religious persecution abroad and the rapidly increasing hostility toward churches here at home: our government's policies. The indifference abroad to the fundamental freedom of religion is rivaled only by the increasing antagonism toward the moral absolutes taught by Bible-believing churches here in the U.S., which is fomenting this environment of hostility toward churches.” 1 Peter 4:12 says, “Beloved, do not think it strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened to you; but rejoice to the extent that you partake of Christ's sufferings.” Alabama Supreme Court: Frozen human embryos are children Last Friday, the Supreme Court of Alabama ruled that frozen human embryos are children and worthy of protection.  The case began as a wrongful death lawsuit brought by three couples involving in-vitro fertilization. The IVF clinic had destroyed the couples' embryos in 2020. The case argued that the act violated Alabama's Wrongful Death of a Minor Act. The measure applies to unborn children. The ruling noted, “Here, the text of the Wrongful Death of a Minor Act is sweeping and unqualified. It applies to all children, born and unborn, without limitation. It is not the role of this Court to craft a new limitation based on our own view of what is or is not wise public policy.” Women most likely to identify as liberal Gallup reports that Americans' political identification has drifted toward the Left over the long term. Still, most identify as conservative (36%) or moderate (36%), and 25% identify as liberal.  However, women in particular have grown more liberal, while men have remained more steady. Young women aged 18-29 are the most likely to identify as liberal at 40%, up from 30% in 1999. Meanwhile, only 25% of young men in the same age group identify as liberal. That's up just one percentage point over the same time period.  Moviegoers want faith accurately portrayed And finally, a new study found people around the world want movies to portray faith more accurately.  The HarrisX poll surveyed 10,000 entertainment viewers across 11 countries.  The survey found that 69% of Americans and 63% of people worldwide believe that entertainment perpetuates religious stereotypes. Also, 82% of Americans and 80% of people worldwide believe it is “important that the entertainment industry improves their portrayals of faith to make them more accurate.” Consumers ranked “Faith and religion” sixth out of 18 themes that they want to see in movies and TV.  Close And that's The Worldview in 5 Minutes on this Wednesday, February 21st in the year of our Lord 2024. Subscribe by iTunes or email to our unique Christian newscast at www.TheWorldview.com.
