Tomorrow a by-election will be held in the parliamentary seat of Makerfield in Wigan, one of three taking place. Makerfield has found itself at the epicentre of British politics - and the result could decide the next prime minister. We look at what the polls are saying about the way women in the area are saying they will vote and what is impacting that decision. Nuala McGovern is joined by BBC's political correspondent Alex Forsyth. Scotland are one of the home nations, alongside England and Ireland, hosting the Women's T20 Cricket World Cup currently taking place here. The Scots got their campaign underway last Saturday against Ireland with an historic win. Nuala is joined by the CEO of Cricket Scotland, Trudy Lindblade and by one of their team, all-rounder, Priyanaz Chatterji to talk about the growth of the women's game in Scotland and what this tournament means for the future of the game. Peptides have become a new buzzword in the wellness industry. Social media influencers have spoken about using them for optimising performance in the gym and improving their appearance, and they're increasingly popular with women. But some unregulated peptides haven't been through clinical trials and could be ineffective, or even harmful. Nuala is joined by BBC Health reporter Ruth Clegg, who has been looking into the way women are using peptides, and Adam Taylor, Professor of Anatomy at the University of Lancaster. Global Sex: What Sex Workers Know about Love and Capitalism is the title of a new book by the Danish anthropologist Sine Plambech. Sine Plambech is an internationally renowned expert on sex work, migration and human trafficking. Sine Plambech joins Nuala to tell us about her book and how she has dedicated her life to pursuing the trail of money and sex across the globe, while introducing us to four women from Thailand and Nigeria at the heart of her research.Presenter: Nuala McGovern Producer: Simon Richardson

Matt opens the show by examining the SpaceX IPO frenzy and the staggering scale of Elon Musk's reported trillion-dollar net worth, arguing that most people underestimate the difference between millions, billions, and trillions. He explores what that level of wealth means in terms of influence, ownership, and market power, while reflecting on why investors continue pouring capital into AI and aerospace companies.On the crypto side, the episode covers BlackRock's new Bitcoin income fund, the launch of a privacy-focused institutional DeFi yield product on Ethereum, congressional efforts to block a U.S. CBDC, and growing stablecoin adoption in countries like Nigeria. Matt also explores a larger question facing the industry: crypto's infrastructure is maturing rapidly, but when will Bitcoin, Ethereum, and blockchain technology become products that ordinary people use every day rather than assets people simply trade and hold?Happy HODLing, Everyone.

Today's guest is, quite simply, one of the great travellers of our time. Sir Michael Palin first joined me on The Travel Diaries back in 2020, and that episode went on to become one of our most loved and most listened-to conversations ever. So when the opportunity came up for him to return to the podcast, this time to mark the publication of his new book, In Nigeria, I absolutely leapt at the chance.For anyone listening who might not be fully familiar with Sir Michael Palin's extraordinary career, he first became known as one of the members of Monty Python, before going on to become one of the world's most beloved travel broadcasters and writers. His landmark BBC travel series, from Around the World in 80 Days to Pole to Pole, Full Circle, Himalaya and so many more, completely changed the way travel was brought to our screens.I went to Michael's house in London to film the interview and you'll be able to watch the full conversation on YouTube and Spotify this weekend.On today's episode, we talk about some of the extraordinary journeys he's been on since we last spoke, from Nigeria to Iraq, Venezuela and the Philippines. We talk about the places that surprised him, the countries that defied their reputation, the journeys that have stayed with him, and the places he still dreams of visiting. And, because Michael has already shared his original seven travel chapters with us, this time I asked you to send in some brand new travel chapters for him. So listen out, because one of your questions might just be in there.Holly's stay:Palazzo Fiuggi, Italy Destination Recap:VenezuelaPhilippinesNigeria, NigeriaLagos, NigeriaKano, NigeriaPort Harcourt, NigeriaIraq, IraqBabylon, IraqCuzco, PeruMachu Picchu, PeruIguazu Falls, Argentina/BrazilVictoria Falls, Zambia/ZimbabweRussia, RussiaMürren, SwitzerlandKamchatka, RussiaBhutanNepalThe Dolomites, ItalyArmenia, ArmeniaGeorgia, GeorgiaMount Ararat, Turkey/ArmeniaMichael's new book, In Nigeria, is out now.With thanks to Sani for their support of today's episode.

When Carlos Barragán discovered his mother was the victim of romance fraud, he flew to Lagos to find the con man – and found the Yahoo Boys, young men whose job it is to rip off westerners. The name comes from the old email platform, first used by the Nigerian scammers decades ago.His mother, Silvia, had fallen in love online with flirtatious, sincere, handsome Brian; she bought rings, planned a future and was convinced that they would one day live together – when he was free to travel to Spain.Her sons though, suspected something sinister was afoot, especially when “Brian” started to make financial demands.Over the course of three years Carlos, a journalist, visited Nigeria multiple times to see the Yahoo Boys in action and to try to understand why this particularly cruel, exploitative form of online fraud has become such an earner for so many young men in Lagos. He also discovered a romance scam involving an Irish woman.His compelling book, The Yahoo Boys: Real Life with the Love Scammers of Lagos by Carlos Barragán is published this week.He talks about the experience on In the News.Presented by Bernice Harrison.

Aisha Francis has built a career as a performer, choreographer, teacher, and one of the dance industry's most respected heels educators. In this conversation, she shares the unexpected story of how she ended up helping Beyoncé learn to dance in heels, along with the lessons she's learned from decades of working in the industry. We discuss confidence as a trainable skill, the physical and psychological foundations of performance, what dancers often misunderstand about building a career, and why training with intention matters. Aisha also opens up about burnout, losing her love for dance, finding it again through teaching, and the realities of navigating a constantly changing industry. From unforgettable stories on stage to practical insights on artistry, professionalism, and longevity, this episode offers a candid look at what it takes to grow not only as a dancer, but as a performer and person.

Yvonne Johnson left investment banking in New York to join the transformation team at First Bank of Nigeria. She spent eight years there, rising to Head of Strategy and Corporate Development - restructuring the operating model and building the bank's first digital finance strategy. When she left in 2018, she didn't start a lender. She co-founded Indicina, the API-driven credit infrastructure company that banks, digital lenders, and fintechs across Nigeria and Kenya now use to make faster, smarter credit decisions. This episode is a masterclass in building at the infrastructure layer - the rails, not the balance sheet.Key Topics Covered:Why she left Merrill Lynch to join First Bank - the deliberate career bet on institutional transformationWhat eight years inside Nigeria's largest retail bank taught her about stakeholder management and systemic changeThe founding decision: why Indicina was never going to be a lenderThe cost of capital argument: why banks will always win if you try to compete on balance sheetHow to sell to institutional clients with long procurement cycles and multiple sign-offsThe real friction in Africa's credit gap - it is not just a data problem, it is an accessibility problemThe opportunity cost problem: why banks choose government bonds over consumer loansWhat the next ten years looks like for African credit infrastructureWhat she would do differently - customer sequencing and the balance sheet question revisited

Marvyn Harrison is joined by Paige Lewin and Brandeis for the most chaotic, most fun, most opinionated food game show in podcast history. No earnest deep dives today, just diaspora food debates, Caribbean heritage on the line, and Marvyn as the sole judge, jury and point-giver. They go in on: the 30-minute meal that will win over your partner's parents, the Nigeria vs Ghana jollof rice war, the most overrated diaspora dish, hangover food rankings, interracial dating gateway foods, the perfect Caribbean Christmas dinner, and the restaurant you need to take a first date. Funny, warm, and deeply Caribbean this one's for anyone who grew up eating Saturday soup, argues about rice and peas vs jollof, and knows exactly what grandma's cooking sounds like.

Ce lundi 15 juin, c'est la Journée mondiale contre la faim. Une journée instaurée par la FAO, l'Organisation des Nations unies pour l'alimentation et l'agriculture, et qui intervient dans un contexte de plus en plus préoccupant en Afrique. La baisse continue des financements internationaux, conjuguée à la coupe drastique de l'aide américaine, rend la lutte contre la faim et la malnutrition d'autant plus difficile que le changement climatique et les conflits régionaux s'accentuent. Kinday Samba, directrice régionale du Programme alimentaire mondial pour l'Afrique de l'Ouest et l'Afrique centrale (Tchad, RCA, Cameroun), est la grande invitée Afrique de ce lundi. RFI : Kinday Samba, pourriez-vous nous dresser un tableau général de la situation de la faim en Afrique de l'Ouest et en Afrique centrale ? Kinday Samba : La situation est très préoccupante. On peut déjà dire qu'on est dans une crise chronique qui est en train de devenir une crise beaucoup plus difficile à contenir, à cause de plusieurs facteurs qui s'accélèrent en même temps. On parle des conflits dans le Sahel, les chocs climatiques, les pressions économiques et les déplacements de populations. Les régions que je couvre abritent plus de 52 millions de personnes en situation d'insécurité alimentaire sévère, où l'instabilité et l'insécurité sont étroitement liées. Il y a un an, le PAM annonçait suspendre son aide alimentaire nutritionnelle vitale au Sahel central et au Nigeria, et ce, à cause d'un manque de financement urgent, avec deux millions de bénéficiaires directement impactés, notamment des réfugiés soudanais au Tchad, maliens en Mauritanie, ainsi que les populations vulnérables au Burkina Faso et au Niger. Un an plus tard, où en est la situation de ces aides dans ces zones ? La situation reste toujours difficile. On est toujours en train de vivre une contrainte financière qui n'a pas impacté que des activités nutritionnelles. Il y a d'autres activités qui ont été impactées. Si on parle concrètement pour cette année, on va réduire le nombre de personnes qui vont bénéficier des assistances. Par exemple, au Cameroun, plus de 500 000 personnes risquent de perdre l'accès à une assistance alimentaire et nutritionnelle. Au Mali aussi, on est contraint à une réduction de 25 % des bénéficiaires en 2026, comparé à 2025, et jusqu'à 55 % par rapport aux niveaux historiques récents. Et si on parle du Nigeria spécifiquement, nous ne pouvons aujourd'hui atteindre qu'une fraction des besoins. Nous prévoyons d'assister un peu moins d'un million de personnes dans un pays où plus de 34 millions de personnes sont en situation d'insécurité alimentaire. Le PAM estime d'ailleurs avoir besoin de 620 millions de dollars pour poursuivre l'apport de cette aide nutritionnelle. Est-ce que vous êtes encore loin de cet objectif ? Oui, on est loin de cet objectif. Parce que si on voit dans notre propre région pour cette année, on a besoin d'à peu près 1 milliard de dollars. Et, pour le moment, on n'a mobilisé que 25 % de cette somme. Donc, on est loin de ce chiffre. C'est une baisse globale qui se traduit en termes de nombre de personnes qu'on peut assister. Le PAM n'a pu assister que 7,6 millions de personnes dans le cadre de la réponse d'urgences en 2025. Donc, une partie importante a reçu des rations réduites. Aujourd'hui, ce que l'on observe dans le Sahel, c'est un véritable point de bascule. Donc, si on parle de 2026, le nombre de bénéficiaires prévus pour la réponse d'urgence a été revu à la baisse, passant de 6,9 millions en 2025 à 5,4 millions en 2026. Or, comme je l'ai dit, la région abrite plus de 52 millions de personnes en situation d'insécurité alimentaire. Un point de bascule, dîtes-vous, notamment dû à la coupe drastique de l'aide américaine qui affecte des programmes humanitaires dans le monde entier, dont les vôtres. Dans quelle proportion votre budget a-t-il diminué et comment vous êtes-vous réorganisé ? Ça ne concerne pas que les États-Unis. C'est une tendance beaucoup plus large. Avec une baisse globale des contributions au Sahel, les financements humanitaires ont chuté de près de 41 % en 2025, et certains pays ont été beaucoup plus affectés que d'autres. Donc, on a priorisé drastiquement nos opérations, allant jusqu'à ce que notre directrice exécutive finisse par décrire comme abandonner ceux qui ont faim pour nourrir les plus affamés. Donc, des analyses menées dans plusieurs pays montrent que les résultats sont préoccupants. Les ménages bénéficiant des rations complètes sont nettement mieux protégés contre la faim que ceux qui reçoivent des rations réduites. J'ai parlé du fait qu'on avait dû, pour certains, réduire nos rations. Donc, la priorisation s'est fortement renforcée et s'appuie davantage sur des données probantes, avec une concentration des ressources sur les populations les plus vulnérables, les plus à risque et les zones de plus fort impact. Voulez-vous dire qu'il y a un désintérêt de plus en plus croissant de la part des donateurs ? Oui, et depuis des années. Nous sommes à la mi-juin. C'est le début de la période de soudure dans de nombreuses régions que vous couvrez. Comment faites-vous face aux urgences durant cette période de soudure qui va durer trois mois ? Il y a des pays où le gouvernement – je peux citer la Mauritanie – couvre plus que 80 % des besoins, qui sont très, très importants. Donc, ça, c'est un des avantages de cette coupe de financement : les gouvernements sont en train de prendre davantage la responsabilité de répondre à ces situations.

In today's edition of the NdB Sunday Show with Chris Steyn and Lauren Evanthia, the founder of the Organic Humanity Movement, the hot topic is President Cyril Ramaposa's urgent court bid to try and stop Parliament from conducting his impeachment inquiry. “And now the president is obviously scrambling. He knows what this means. If anything, this is almost an admission of guilt on his part…(and) how is it gonna hurt the ANC during the elections? I think that is probably at the forefront of his mind…if they want to hold on to that 45.6%, they cannot afford to have this massive scandal with the president.” Evanthia also dissects the testimony of Witness I before the Madlanga Commission. “The whole South African government for me appears to be an entire criminal enterprise.” She further looks at the biggest lack of service delivery horror stories, and gives her take on the defection journey of Neville Delport from the African National Congress (ANC) to the Democratic Alliance (DA) and on to the Patriotic Alliance (PA). Lastly, she examines the likely consequences for South Africa should Nigeria carry out its threat of retaliation over South Africa's handling of the migrant crisis.

In a Muslim village in East Africa, 47 people confessed belief in Christ. But then Christian persecution came. Radical Muslims went house-to-house, threatening new believers and demanding they return to Islam. All but two of the new Christians renounced their faith. Brother Paulo, a leader in YWAM Frontier Missions in East Africa, met the two young men who stood firm for Christ. He asked them how they'd stayed faithful under such intense pressure. "The experience I had with Jesus was so strong that I cannot deny Jesus," the younger of the two men told him. In places like Northern Mozambique, South Sudan, Malawi, Tanzania and other East African countries, Muslim-background believers face persecution from their families and communities. Even those who have grown up in Christian families are likely to face persecution from Muslim communities—especially if they are involved in evangelism or outreach to Muslims. Brother Paulo will share more stories from our persecuted Christian brothers and sisters in East Africa, tell how God called him into missions and describe the endurance of churches in the region amid persecution. He will also share how believers prepare to face persecution and how Christians in free nations like the United States can pray for our brothers and sisters in East Africa. The VOM App for your smartphone or tablet will help you pray daily for persecuted Christians in nations like North Korea, Nigeria, China and Iran, as well as provide free access to e-books, audiobooks, video content, and feature films.

It's Thursday, June 11th, A.D. 2026. 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 Nigerian court sentences Muslims to death for executing Catholics Last week, a court in the African nation of Nigeria sentenced four Muslim men to death for killing dozens of Catholics. Four years ago, the gunmen attacked a Pentecost Sunday service at a Catholic Church in southwest Nigeria. They killed 41 people, including children. Authorities determined that the armed men belonged to Al-Shabaab, an Islamic terrorist group. The massacre was the first terrorist attack on a church in southern Nigeria.   According to Open Doors, Nigeria is the seventh most dangerous country worldwide for Christians. Proverbs 7:14 and 16 says, “Behold, the wicked man conceives evil . . . His mischief returns upon his own head, and on his own skull his violence descends.” Sudanese man arrested in Ireland for attempted beheading Authorities in Northern Ireland arrested a migrant from the African nation of Sudan on Tuesday. Police in Belfast accused him of carrying out a severe knife attack on a man in his 40s. People across the United Kingdom responded to the attempted beheading with protests. The victim was hospitalized with significant injuries to his face, neck, and back. Many U.K. citizens question their government's immigration policies, including Member of Parliament Rupert Lowe. In February, the lawmaker launched a national political party called Restore Britain. The party is devoted to ending mass immigration and also openly recognizes Britain's Christian heritage.  Congress funds $70 billion for ICE and Border Patrol In the United States, President Donald Trump signed the Secure America Act yesterday. The $70 billion package fully funds the Department of Homeland Security. The bill specifically covers U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and U.S. Customs and Border Protection for the rest of President Trump's second term.  Listen to comments from House Speaker Mike Johnson after Congress passed the bill. JOHNSON: “The historic mandate that put President Trump in the White House and Republican majorities in both the House and the Senate is evidence of the fact that Democrats' ‘Defund the Police' agenda is wildly out of step with hardworking American families. After four long years of Democrat policies that opened the door to dangerous criminals and deadly drugs, Republicans are delivering on our promise to restore safe streets and secure our borders.” Inflation rose 4.3% Inflation reached a three-year high last month for American consumers.  The cost of goods and services rose 4.2 percent in May compared to a year ago. Rising energy costs drove the inflation. Gasoline prices were up 40 percent from a year earlier.    iPhone launch connected to lower U.S. fertility rate A new study from the National Bureau of Economic Research suggests that the launch of the iPhone contributed to declining fertility rates in the U.S. Apple introduced the iPhone in 2007. The U.S. general fertility rate has fallen by 22 percent since then. People have been spending more time on their smartphones and less time with each other.  The study noted, “Overall, the diffusion of the iPhone explains 33–52% of the decline in the general fertility rate among women aged 15–44.” Southern Baptists: Only men can serve as pastors The Southern Baptist Convention affirmed its position yesterday that only men can serve as pastors. Over 70 percent of the denomination's representatives voted in favor of the “Truth and Unity Amendment.” The measure was sponsored by Albert Mohler Jr., the president of the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary. The amendment would require churches in the denomination to not appoint women as pastors, elders, or overseers.  Listen to comments from Dr. Mohler. MOHLER: “This motion makes very clear that we affirm the historic Baptist understanding of the pastor, elder, overseer. The structure of the language I have brought goes all the way back to the 1689 Baptist Confession, where the office and function of the pastor are clearly delineated. “This amendment makes very clear that a church, in friendly cooperation with the Southern Baptist Convention, doesn't have anyone other than a man as pastor in the office of pastor and specifies on the functions of the pastor that the key central function of preaching the Word of God to the gathered assembly is limited to men by Scripture.” 1 Timothy 3:1-2 says, “If anyone aspires to the office of overseer, he desires a noble task. Therefore, an overseer must be above reproach, the husband of one wife, sober-minded, self-controlled, respectable, hospitable, able to teach.”  Animated movie “David” claims #1 spot on Netflix And finally, the animated film David reached the number one spot on Netflix for movies in the United States over the weekend.  The Bible movie from Angel Studios officially premiered on the streaming service just last Wednesday. (audio from David movie trailer) DAVID: “I'm just a shepherd, but deep down I know I can take on the world.” NARRATOR: “There is a darkness over the land.” SAMUEL:  “Our enemies will strike once more.” MAN: “Imagine the biggest warrior you have ever seen!” DAVID: “Okay.” MAN: “Now imagine somebody ate him.” GIRL: “Remember when I told you God had big plans for you?” GOLIATH: “You will serve us!” GIRL: “They may have been bigger than even I thought.” Christian music artist Phil Wickham voiced the adult David in the movie. Wickham told Crosswalk Headlines the film is “full of the story of God and full of Psalms and full of hallelujah and faith and hope.  … I think this movie will last decades. I think it will be something our grandkids watch.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Thursday, June 11th, in the year of our Lord 2026.

Casi 6.000 personas solicitaron asilo el año pasado en las Islas Canarias. Muchas de ellas no cuentan con los recursos necesarios para valerse por si mismos y son acogidos temporalmente en centros como los gestionados por la Comisión Española de Ayuda al Refugiado, CEAR. Allí tratan de darles las herramientas necesarias para que logren integrarse a nivel personal pero también social. Nuestro enviado especial Manu Terradillos visitó uno de ellos.  Desde Las Palmas de Gran Canaria El centro de acogida de Marpequeña en Telde, Las Palmas ,da refugio a entre 40 y 50 solicitantes de asilo con el objetivo de ser un apoyo más en su camino a la integración. En él viven y se forman estos migrantes en situación vulnerable, sin recursos económicos ni los conocimientos necesarios para establecerse por sí mismos en España.  Vienen principalmente de África y Latinoamérica, aunque su procedencia varía en función de muchos factores, como la economía o las guerras. “Las personas que viven en nuestro centro son solicitantes de protección internacional, lo que comúnmente llamamos asilo. Ahora mismo la mayoría son de Mali, pero hemos tenido épocas, dependiendo de cómo va el mundo y la situación económica y geopolítica, que hemos tenido muchas personas de Venezuela, hemos tenido personas de Cuba, de Nicaragua, de Honduras, de Colombia, de Rusia, de Ucrania, muchas nacionalidades, cuenta a RFI Marita Legon, integradora social de CEAR Canarias. “De países africanos también, de Costa de Marfil, de Guinea, de Nigeria, de Somalia también hemos tenido”, añade. En el centro los residentes cuentan con habitaciones donde alojarse, un comedor, lugares de ocio y atención a niños, ya que hay varias madres llegadas con sus hijos, y también espacios para la formación. Aquí pueden permanecer hasta 18 meses y se les ayuda a entender cómo desenvolverse en la sociedad española, desde ir al médico o buscar alojamiento, hasta inscribir a un hijo en el colegio.  No obstante, a veces hay que empezar por algo más básico, que se sientan en paz con sí mismos tras vivir momentos difíciles. Así lo explica Maritza: “Tienen derecho a la atención psicológica, porque muchas veces es muy, muy, muy importante para que puedan ir avanzando, porque muchos vienen con estrés postraumático, de la experiencia que ha sido la travesía, el llegar aquí”. La integradora social cuenta después qué herramientas les dan para que puedan integrarse: “También tienen derecho a una orientación de empleo y de idioma. Normalmente comienzan con el idioma español si vienen de países que no son de América Latina, por ejemplo.  “Van a clases de español hasta que ya tienen un cierto nivel y pueden pasar a buscar cursos de formación ocupacional. Esa es la parte fundamental, porque al final todas estas personas que llegan aquí lo que quieren es tener un futuro para ellos, para trabajar y vivir dignamente como lo queremos todos en la vida”, concluye.

Thursday, 11 June 2026   So He said to them, “You will indeed drink My cup, and be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with; but to sit on My right hand and on My left is not Mine to give, but it is for those for whom it is prepared by My Father.” Matthew 20:23   “And He says to them, ‘The ‘indeed, ‘cup, Mine',' you will drink, and the immersion, the ‘I, I am immersed' you will be immersed. The, also, to sit from ‘rights, Me', and from ‘lefts, Me', not it is Mine – these to give, but those it has been prepared under the ‘Father, Mine'.'” (CG).   In the previous verse, Jesus told the sons of Zebedee that they didn't realize what they were asking. He asked them if they could drink the cup He was to drink from and to be immersed with the immersion that He was to be immersed with. They boldly claimed that they were able. In response to that, it next says, “And He says to them, ‘The ‘indeed, ‘cup, Mine',' you will drink.'”   Jesus' cup refers to His coming passion. His words do not mean that they would suffer vicariously for others, something Jesus alone could do. Rather, as the Head of the church, those who follow Him will enter into His suffering simply by being His follower. The level at which that occurs for these two is not addressed. Jesus merely states it as a fact.   Acts 12:2 reveals that James was killed with the sword by Herod. John's suffering began at the cross as he watched Jesus die. From that time on, his life was wholly sold out to whatever trials or persecutions came his way. Thus, he was a living martyr, a living witness to the sufferings of Christ throughout his years. Toward the end of them, he wrote to the church –   “I, John, both your brother and companion in the tribulation and kingdom and patience of Jesus Christ, was on the island that is called Patmos for the word of God and for the testimony of Jesus Christ.” Revelation 1:9   There is a tradition that he survived being boiled in oil, but there is nothing to substantiate that beyond the tradition itself. Regardless, his life was long and was given over to the call of Christ. Jesus continues, saying, “and the immersion, the ‘I, I am immersed' you will be immersed.”   As noted in the previous verse, Jesus' immersion was His death on the cross. He died for the sins of the world. This is not what James and John would do, nor could they. However, they were immersed with Christ's immersion, something all believers participate in when they come to Christ –   “In Him you were also circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, by putting off the body of the sins of the flesh, by the circumcision of Christ, 12 buried with Him in baptism, in which you also were raised with Him through faith in the working of God, who raised Him from the dead.” Colossians 2:11, 12   Christ died for sin, while believers die to sin in Christ. Thus, we are immersed into His immersion. This is referring to what occurs when one receives Jesus, not an outward display of water baptism. Water baptism is a command given by Jesus as an identifying sign of the inner change that has taken place. Jesus continues, saying, “The, also, to sit from ‘rights, Me', and from ‘lefts, Me', not it is Mine – these to give.”   At first, this seems contradictory to Revelation 3:21 –   “To him who overcomes I will grant to sit with Me on My throne, as I also overcame and sat down with My Father on His throne.”   Jesus has full authority to grant to those who come to Him their place in His kingdom. This would include the position to His left and right, but there is an order and a propriety in all things, including the process of granting such a position. Therefore, Jesus continues, saying, “but those it has been prepared under the ‘Father, Mine'.”   The words “under the ‘Father, Mine'” mean “under His authority or direction.” Jesus could not grant what He had not yet received. The Father ordained that Jesus was to be born under the law, live without sinning under the law, and die in fulfillment of the law. For Him to say that He would grant these positions before His work was done would be improper.   This is reflected in the opening words of Romans –   “Paul, a bondservant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, separated to the gospel of God 2 which He promised before through His prophets in the Holy Scriptures, 3 concerning His Son Jesus Christ our Lord, who was born of the seed of David according to the flesh, 4 and declared to be the Son of God with power according to the Spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead.” Romans 1:1-4   As noted, there is an order to all things. Jesus had to follow what was prescribed by the Father, fulfilling His will before He could make such a determination as to who would sit in such a position. Thus, they are positions that are, as He said, “prepared under the ‘Father, Mine'.”   Life application: The cup of Jesus' suffering is one that those who follow Him will participate in. The manner in which it takes place will be different for all. Paul speaks of this in 2 Corinthians –   “Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, 4 who comforts us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort those who are in any trouble, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God. 5 For as the sufferings of Christ abound in us, so our consolation also abounds through Christ. 6 Now if we are afflicted, it is for your consolation and salvation, which is effective for enduring the same sufferings which we also suffer. Or if we are comforted, it is for your consolation and salvation. 7 And our hope for you is steadfast, because we know that as you are partakers of the sufferings, so also you will partake of the consolation.” 2 Corinthians 1:3-7   The fact that we have accepted Jesus means that we have partaken of the cup of Jesus' suffering. Any suffering beyond that will be based on our interactions within the world as followers of Christ. If someone were to move to a country where evangelism is forbidden and started evangelizing, he may be fined, imprisoned, or executed.   The choice to go to that country was voluntary. He could have stayed in his hometown and been a plumber. As a plumber, someone might say, “I will never hire that guy. He has a Jesus bumper sticker.” That suffering was also voluntary. He did not need to put the sticker on his car.   The level and type of suffering we will receive beyond participating in Jesus' suffering through faith in His completed work may be up to us, or it may be a result of our environment. The Christians in Nigeria will certainly agree to that. They are slaughtered by the thousands because of the name of Jesus.   Therefore, what occurs to any of us in our Christian walk will result from both personal choices as well as individual circumstances that are often beyond our control. No matter what, we should not fear in our walk in this world. We are His, and He will deliver us from this body of death to eternal life with Him.   Lord God, help us to have an eternal perspective in regard to our walk with You. Whatever happens here is temporary and will come to an end. But what lies ahead is eternal. May we not squander this short life we possess when it could be used for Your glory, each step of the way. Amen.

He highly recommends the 20th annual Red Wing Arts Plein Air events taking place this month. Artists are painting within a 25-mile radius of Red Wing, including in the city itself, over the next week. Opportunities to watch artists at work — and for kids to paint for free — include this Saturday from 9-11 at the Red Wing Arts. An exhibition of the work they create runs June 20 – Aug. 16 at the Depot.Joshua says: They have had between 50 and 100 paintings done every year, so you can imagine the body of work that has been created over the last 20 years. Though some of those areas get painted more frequently than others, [each] day only comes once. The light and the air of a given day is what defines all of the colors and the values — and often the mood of the place — so you're never really standing in the same place twice.— Joshua CunninghamFootball meets dance performanceScott Pakudaitis, board chair of Revolution Dance Works, has been a fan of Corpus Dance Works since he saw their fringe show inspired by plant biology in 2022.

Lemongrove Oil: https://www.lemongroveoil.com/ Episode Description In this episode of Conversations with a Chiropractor, Dr. Stephanie Wautier sits down with Dr. Craig Slapinski, a chiropractor and former Palmer College classmate whose career has taken him from the Midwest to Ghana, Nigeria, and beyond. Dr. Craig shares how a love of travel shaped his life long before chiropractic school. From building houses in Mexico as a teenager to studying abroad in London, backpacking through Europe, exploring China, and traveling through Southeast Asia, his path has always included curiosity, adventure, and a willingness to step into unfamiliar places. That same spirit eventually led him to Ghana after chiropractic school, where he worked in a high-volume clinic and quickly learned how to trust his hands, sharpen his adjusting skills, and serve patients with limited equipment and a lot of real-world pressure. Years later, he returned to West Africa with a more focused mission: to bring nonsurgical spinal decompression care to communities where access to this type of treatment was limited. Stephanie and Dr. Craig talk about chiropractic in Ghana and Nigeria, what makes the healthcare experience different from the United States, and how his clinics use spinal decompression, cold laser, exercise, ergonomics, and rehabilitation to help patients dealing with disc-related back pain. This conversation is also about finding your own path. Dr. Craig's story is a reminder that a chiropractic career can take many shapes, and that sometimes the road you end up on is not the one you planned, but the one that fits who you are becoming.

At least 360 abductees were rescued by the Nigerian army from an enclave linked to a terrorist group in northeastern Borno State. Most of them being women and children. While the Nigerian Army says the rescue followed weeks of planning and intelligence-led operations that achieved "complete tactical surprise," overwhelming the terrorists and forcing them to abandon their positions and flee into the surrounding mountainous terrain, a different account has emerged. A local group, the Borno South Youth Alliance (BOSAYA) says that it facilitated the unconditional release of the abductees and had been in contact with the militants, while online conversations speculate negotiations and possible ransom. We hear from a security expert. And a Rwandan genocide survivor Sabin Nkusi shares how her experiences have driven her commitment to supporting survivors of sexual and gender-based violence.

It's Tuesday, June 9th, A.D. 2026. 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 Kevin Swanson and Timothy Reed Vietnamese Communists have imprisoned 57 Christians Religious freedom is tenuous in Vietnam.  That's the subject of a new report by International Christian Concern.   At last count, Vietnam has 57 unreleased religious prisoners, five of whom were subjected to government-initiated torture. Pastors and evangelists are imprisoned for what is called “undermining national unity policy” or “abusing democratic freedoms”, whatever that is.   And Christmas is a dangerous time for Vietnamese Christians. That's when arrests accelerate in the Central Highlands, especially for believers who are caught worshiping in churches unsponsored by the communist government. State Dept. weighs in on the murder of a Brit by a Sikh Tensions between the United States and the United Kingdom have increased over the killing of a Brit named Henry Nowak. Last December, he was killed by a Sikh, a son of an Indian immigrant. The murderer had falsely accused Nowak of a hate crime.  Sadly, the police chose to believe the murderer instead of the victim in the crime.   In response, the U.S. State Department issued a statement pointing out “ideological conditioning and two-tiered policing” as “glaring symptoms of civilizational decline” in the United Kingdom.   Vice President J.D. Vance also stated on social media that “Henry Nowak died the same way a civilization dies: abandoned, handcuffed by authorities who neither trusted nor cared for him, and accused of hate crimes he did not commit.” Countries where the most Evangelicals live The most Evangelicals in the world live in -- you may have never guessed it -- China.    The Joshua Project puts China at the top with 106 million Evangelicals. The United States comes in second with 92 million Evangelicals. Then, comes Nigeria with 64 million, and Brazil with 53 million.   The other nations with the largest Evangelical populations include Ethiopia, Kenya, Mexico, and Uganda. Among the unreached nations of the world with the lowest Christian populations are these European countries: Austria, Finland, Greece, Greenland, Norway, and Sweden. Brazil's surge of Evangelicals and loss of Catholics Brazil has seen a surge of Evangelicals — now at 27%, up from 21.6% in 2010.  Brazil's atheist population grew from 8% to 9.3%. The nation's Roman Catholic population took the hit, losing about 8% since 2010. Catholics now represent only 56.7% of Brazilians. Catholicism made up 99% of the population back in 1890, according to the recently released Census of Traditional Peoples and Communities. New poll: America is viewed negatively America is viewed as increasingly unpopular worldwide while China is receiving higher marks for popular approval. Gallup's recent international poll found America at a 31% level vs. China's 36%.  That's the highest gap in history. America's net approval ratings have always dropped to the lowest levels in the history of the survey -- now at negative 15%. Trump's endorsed candidate for Iowa governor loses 8/10 of a point Iowa conservative Zach Lahn won the nomination for governor in a crowded Iowa GOP primary last week.  Lahn won his primary with just 38% of the vote — a close victory over Trump-endorsed Congressman Randy Feenstra, who earned 37.2% of the vote. Listen to the opening of Lahn's victory speech. LAHN: “I don't have to tell you this, but nobody thought this could be done. We were outspent, opposed by the establishment, told to wait our turn. Well, tonight the people of Iowa had something to say about that. We're not going to wait anymore!” (cheers) Lahn is a sixth generation Iowan who has spoken out against chemical manufacturers and Chinese land ownership here in the United States. Texas Rangers doesn't endorse homosexual pride month The LGBTQ and so-called “Pride Month” fervor has slowed greatly under the Trump administration, but not completely. Sports teams across the nation continue to celebrate Homosexual Pride Month. To their credit, the Texas Rangers are the only team in Major League Baseball to abstain from celebrating perverted lifestyles.  Dodgers pitcher Blake Treinen opposes homosexual pride But some are still standing against homosexuality on a personal level.  Dodgers pitcher Blake Treinen was the only player on his team who did not appear on the field in a homosexual “Pride” hat last Friday, standing by his convictions. The Los Angeles Dodgers organization has been known to openly support homosexuality, transgenderism, and drag.  Influencer Jon Root praises Treinen's actions. He wrote, “While other professed Christians, Dodgers [shortstop] Mookie Betts and manager Dave Roberts wore [homosexual transgender] “pride” hats, only Blake Treinen, [the pitcher], refused. Don't bow down to the idols of our age, Christians. Stand firm like Treinen.” Ephesians 6:13 says, “Therefore, take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.”  Send a two-sentence thank you note to Blake Treinen for standing against the homosexual agenda. The address is Los Angeles Dodgers, 1000 Vin Scully Avenue, Los Angeles, CA 90012. Trump's $1.7 billion “anti-weaponization” fund shot down President Donald Trump's controversial $1.776 billion “anti-weaponization” fund has been shot down by the courts and those within his own party. Several Republican senators objected to the newly created fund, which would have had taxpayers foot the bill and paid out victims of political persecution while also shielding the Trump family from federal tax review.  June 9th anniversary of Scottish missionary Columba And finally, on this date, June 9th, A.D. 597, the great Irish Christian missionary, Columba, went to be with the Lord. Columba, also known as Columcille, planted churches all over Scotland and established the famed missionary school on the isle of Iona in A.D. 563, a training ground for missionaries over the next several centuries.  Born around the year A.D. 521, Columba was in line to become a High King of Ireland, but chose to serve the Lord in foreign lands instead. Isaiah 52:7 states, “How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him who brings good news, who proclaims peace, who brings glad tidings of good things, who proclaims salvation, who says to Zion, “Your God reigns!”  Close And that's The Worldview on this Tuesday, June 9th, in the year of our Lord 2026.

In this episode of John Solomon Reports, Texas GOP Rep. Pete Sessions discusses how the current situation between Iran, Israel and the United States would change if Iranian citizens were armed, emphasizing that Iran has killed over 40,000 of citizens who have expressed discontent with the regime. Sessions also says that President Trump has been careful with his use of military power, but that even common sense has frailties. The congressman also talks about how Democratic politicians such as Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Sen. Bernie Sanders are pushing anti-United States and anti-Israel sentiments, which has contributed to recent demonstrations on Capitol Hill. Finally, Sessions explains the recent redistricting in his home state, members of Congress switching parties and the importance of the Americans understanding the impact of reaching peace through strength.In the second segment, John and retired Colonel Wes Martin discuss the plausibility of a deal between the United States and Iran – considering Iran cannot be expected to abide by any deal. retired Colonel Wes MartinMartin thinks past presidents failed to understand that dynamic. Martin wants the Trump administration to have better identified consequences, a plausible exit strategy and more domestic and international support. He explains his argument about why the U.S. shouldn't have paused its air attacks – arguing the path to victory – and a peace deal – is to engage with and train and arm the Iranian people with weapons. Martin also speaks on issues with the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps remaining firmly in charge of Iran, the likelihood of a drone problem arising and the IRGC's history of killing American soldiers.In the third segment, Tom Simon, an FBI special agent turned licensed private, discusses the prominence of real estate fraud in the era of artificial intelligence, specifically in the context of a 63-year-old woman who was arrested for selling multiple properties she didn't own. The woman was revealed to be doing the fraud on behalf of scammers in Nigeria. Simon also talks about the susceptibility of vacant land, second homes, inherited property and investment properties to home title theft, and how owners can protect themselves and look out for their properties with Home Title Lock.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
