It's Monday, October 7th, 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 Adam McManus Pakistani Muslim employer forces 17-year-old Christian boy to convert The Muslim employers of a 17-year-old Christian who works at their gas company in Pakistan have forcibly converted him to Islam and are holding him in illegal custody, reports MorningStarNews.org. Samina Javed, a brick kiln worker in the Sheikhupura District (in Punjab Province) said her son, Samsoon Javed, began working at a Liquified Petroleum Gas outlet owned by Usman Manzoor in November. Samsoon's father, Falamoon Masih, died in 2018 due to illness, and he is one of four children Javed had from that marriage. She is now married to her second husband with whom she had another son. In July, after he began working at the gas outlet, his family began noticing a change in his behavior. The mother explained, “He began avoiding us and his siblings and didn't speak much when he was at home. We came to know about Samsoon's conversion [to Islam] in September, when he didn't come home from work.” Javed, a member of a local Brethren church, said that they were able to see Samsoon after a few days when his Muslim employer was not present at the shop. She explained, “Samsoon kept silent and avoided eye contact when we asked him about his conversion. It was quite clear that he was scared and under pressure. He told us to leave, saying [his boss] would be angry if he saw us there.” They later learned from contacts that the Manzoor brothers had been taking their son to an Islamic spiritual guide (Pir), where he was pressured to abandon his Christian faith. Acts 16:31 says, “Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved.” Please pray that Samina Javed would be able to regain custody of her 17-year-old son Samsoon in Pakistan to enable him the freedom to follow Christ. Biden unsure which storm people have just endured Last Wednesday, President Joe Biden took an aerial tour of the damage from Hurricane Helene with the North Carolina Governor and Asheville Mayor. Flying in his helicopter, known as Marine One, he viewed the visible destruction including buildings that had been flattened, trees knocked down, and houses submerged under water. The next evening, a reporter asked Biden about the impact of Hurricane Helene. Let me play the audio. Because the sound of the plane is so loud in the background, I will repeat what was said. REPORTER: “What do the states in the storm zones need, Mr. President?” PRESIDENT BIDEN: “What?” REPORTER: “What do the states in the storm zone -- what do they need after what you saw today?” BIDEN: “Oh, in the storm zone.” REPORTER: “Yes sir.” BIDEN: “I didn't know which storm you were talking about. They've got everything they need. And they're very happy across the board.” Truth be told, the people hit by Hurricane Helene, especially those in North Carolina, are not very happy across the board. Clearly, Biden is out of touch with reality. DeSantis sent Florida Guard to North Carolina, first help they received Appearing on Fox News with Harris Faulkner, Florida Republican Governor Ron DeSantis explained that after the Florida Guard had completed their Hurricane Helene rescues in Florida, he authorized the military personnel to rescue North Carolinians. DeSANTIS: “I authorized air assets, National Guard, state guard, Highway Patrol, to go into western North Carolina. So, it created this odd circumstance where the first people that they come in contact with is some state guard unit from Florida and not any of the federal assets. I don't think the federal assets were marshaled very quickly at all. “But the lesson that I think people should take from this is one we learned in Florida long ago. We don't rely on FEMA – [Federal Emergency Management Association] -- to do any of that type of activity. We rely on FEMA to basically be a bank account. There's federal programs in place. We get our people qualified for individual assistance, reimbursement for some of the debris, but we take the matters into our own hands for the preparation and the rescue and response. I just think it's sad.” In addition, The Wall Street Journal reports that homeowners are rushing to file insurance claims after Hurricane Helene left a trail of destruction across six states. Many of them will likely be left empty-handed. In recent years, property insurers have hollowed out coverage and sharply increased rates to make up for steep underwriting losses driven by natural disasters. Melania Trump champions abortion in new memoir And finally, last Thursday, Donald Trump said he gave his blessing for his wife Melania Trump to endorse a “fundamental right” to abortion in her upcoming memoir, at a time when relations are already strained between the GOP ticket and the party's pro-life base, reports LifeSiteNews.com. Earlier this week, an advance excerpt of the former First Lady's book was published, in which she declares that a “woman's fundamental right of individual liberty, to her own life, grants her the authority to terminate her pregnancy if she wishes. Restricting a woman's right to choose whether to terminate an unwanted pregnancy is the same as denying her control over her own body.” Sadly, Melania disregards the humanity of the children in the womb created by God. In Jeremiah 1:5, God said, “Before I formed you in the womb, I knew you.” Fox News asked Trump for his reaction. FOX NEWS: “What's your reaction to Melania's memoir championing abortion rights and reproductive freedom?” TRUMP:  “We spoke about it and I said you have to write what you believe. I'm not going to tell you what to do. You have to write what you believe. “She's very beloved. People love our former First Lady, I can tell you that. But I said you have to stick with your heart. I've said that to everybody. You have to go with your heart. “There are some people that are very, very far right in the issue, meaning without exceptions. And then there are other people that view it a little bit differently than that.” Mrs. Trump's pro-abortion declaration comes the same week her husband clarified he “would not support a federal abortion ban, under any circumstances, and would, in fact, veto it.”  Trump tweeted those outrageous comments while J.D. Vance, his VP pick, was debating Tim Walz in New York last Tuesday. Trump now opposes further federal action on abortion, supports letting the Abortion Kill Pill to be distributed by mail, and has criticized pro-life states for overly “harsh” abortion bans. The former president has taken credit for making the GOP “less radical” on abortion, including by having the national Republican Party platform rewritten to reflect his more liberal position. Politico reported that multiple prominent pro-life figures were frank in their disapproval. Family Research Council president Tony Perkins said, “It is not a pro-life position, it's not an acceptable position, and it does not provide the contrast on this issue to the degree that we have had in the past between him and Kamala Harris.  What President Trump is doing is suppressing his own support.” Students for Life of America chief policy strategist Kristi Hamrick said,  “President Trump keeps saying that he wants to be out of the federal business of abortion.  So, number one, stop funding it.” And Live Action founder and leader Lila Rose lamented, “Unfortunately, it seems like Trump doesn't care about the pro-life base anymore. He came out recently and said that he supported access to these deadly abortion drugs, and that is horrific. When Trump is publicly compromising, it's deeply discouraging to pro-life and pro-family voters, and I think that he's putting his own election in jeopardy. Quite frankly, this is a losing strategy.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Monday, October 7th, in the year of our Lord 2024. Subscribe by Amazon Music or by iTunes or email to our unique Christian newscast at www.TheWorldview.com.

In this pilot episode of Best Part of the Book, a personal nod is given to the small rural town of Ashe County where McFarland has called home since it was founded in 1979. Host Mark Perzel talks with Janet Pittard, author of A Hospital for Ashe County: Four Generations of Appalachian Community Health Care. Janet shares favorite stories she uncovered in the extensive research and over 100 interviews she performed in the writing of the book. You don’t have to be from Ashe County, North Carolina to appreciate these hometown stories surrounding a small hospital in a rural Appalachian community. BOOK DESCRIPTION: When Ashe County Memorial Hospital opened in November 1941, it was the realization of a dream for the poor, sparsely populated county in the mountains of northwestern North Carolina. Building a hospital is a major undertaking for any community at any time. Accomplishing this in the waning days of the Great Depression and on the brink of World War II, while scant local resources were taxed by catastrophic floods and severe snows, was a remarkable feat of community organization. This is the story of the generations of supporters, doctors, nurses, emergency personnel and others whose lives are interwoven with regional health care and the planning, building and operation of (the “new”) Ashe Memorial Hospital. This legacy, brought to life through 114 photographs and personal interviews with 97 individuals, traces the development of health care in a remote Appalachian community, from the days of folk remedies and midwives, to horseback doctors and early infirmaries, to the technological advances and outreach efforts of today’s Ashe Memorial Hospital.

Her love of stories came from her father, who entertained his little girl with stories he thought up while driving the state’s winding mountain roads for his job. That is where Janet’s love of western North Carolina originated. Now she combines her love of writing with her love of her mountain home in West Jefferson, generating stories and books set in the High Country. Janet began her career as a freelance writer after retiring from the North Carolina Governor’s Office with 30 years of service. She wrote over 100 stories for Our State Magazine from 2003 to 2009 and also wrote for several projects with UNC-TV’s Our State program. Later she contributed stories to two published anthologies related to Ashe County and wrote for an online newspaper called Ashe County Line. Janet is a regular participant in Wordkeepers, a local writing group.

Scott Presler of Early Vote Action joins Dawn to expand on the game plan the GOP needs to follow with early and mail in voting. Read more about Early Vote Action below. Early Vote Action PA (“EVA”) was created to achieve a strict purpose — organize & mobilize Republicans to vote early, so that by the time Election Day rolls around, the Republican victory is already baked in. At EVA, we're intent on marshaling the time, labor, and resources of conservatives around the country to achieve this goal in 2024, with a specific focus on the key swing states of Arizona, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin. The foremost goal for Republicans in 2024 is to take back the White House, and the path to 270 Electoral College votes runs through these five key swing states. If we win these swing states, Republicans will retake the Senate, strengthen our hold on the House, retake the North Carolina Governor's Mansion, retake the Nevada Legislature, strengthen our holds on the other respective states' legislatures, and see victories in down-ballot races at the county and local levels. It will be efficient, precise trickle-down organizing & mobilizing. Importantly, also, at EVA we're working to ensure that Republicans from every state are operating not merely as 50 disjointed operations, but rather as one team of concerned American conservatives fighting to win the necessary electoral fights to retake our country. Because if we retake these five key states, we can continue our movement's march into every state across the country with powerful momentum, until every state on the map is ruby Republican red! Whether you're in Tulsa or Jersey City, Bar Harbor or Anchorage, at EVA we are ready to connect with you to organize teams of conservative Americans, build phone banks and letter writing centers, provide the requisite data to engage with the voters we need to get to the polls, and get them to the polls early. We're ready to win, and we're intent on ensuring that our path to victory begins on the day ballots go out. To reach this goal, we need you on our team, because when we organize and mobilize we win. Tune in 10 AM - 12 PM EST weekdays on Talk Radio 1210 WPHT; or on the Audacy app!

First, Congressman Ted Budd, candidate for Senate in North Carolina, joined to discuss why he believes former President Trump's endorsement has been so valuable for his campaign, what he accomplished in the House and what is driving voters in his state. Later, former North Carolina Governor and candidate for Senate a Pat McCrory joins to share why he believes independent voters in the state could boost him at the polls and how his time as governor has prepared him for the Senate.   Pennsylvania and North Carolina are two states with hotly contested primary races unfolding today. A growing trend among candidates' campaigns have been their ties to the MAGA agenda made popular by former President Trump and their efforts to win his endorsement. As voters make their decisions, many wonder if a Trump endorsement will have any power in determining election results. Director of the FOX News Decision Desk Arnon Mishkin joins the Rundown to discuss former President Trump's influence on the Republican party, issues that matter most to key demographics, and the efficacy of President Biden's "ultra MAGA" offensive.    Plus, commentary by columnist David Marcus.
