Hoy comenzamos analizando la nueva -o no tan nueva- relación entre Estados Unidos y la Unión Europea. La llegada de Donald Trump a la Casa Blanca ha supuesto una reformulación, que va más allá de las formas, de las relaciones internacionales. En uno de los últimos capítulos, la administración Trump ha amenazado a España con "graves consecuencias" de no alcanzar el 5 por ciento de incremento del gasto militar. También hablamos sobre la partida del Open Arms desde el puerto Barcelona con rumbo a Gaza. Varias personalidades del mundo de la política, el activismo y el ecologismo se han embarcado para pedir el fin del genocidio. Mientras tanto, otros políticos como Santiago Abascal han declarado que "habría que hundir el Open Arms". Por último, analizamos el incremento del discurso xenófobo en la política española propulsado precisamente por Vox. Con Pedro García-Bilbao y José Luís Carretero. Conduce Juan Carlos Barba.

Abascal pide el hundimiento del Open Arms y se monta la mundial, pero una cosa similar hizo Francia sin mayores consecuencias. Os lo cuento.Este podcast está asociado a la red de Sospechosos Habituales donde podréis encontrar otros muchos podcast de diferentes temáticas.

Hace dos días, Santiago Abascal, líder de Vox, escribía en X: "Ese barco de negreros hay que confiscarlo y HUNDIRLO. Para que sirva de advertencia de cuál va a ser el final que les espera a todos los multimillonarios y políticos que promuevan la invasión de Europa", en referencia al Open Arms. Oscar Camps, director y fundador de la ONG, advierte sobre la peligrosidad de estos mensajes en Las Mañanas de RNE con Lara Hermoso: "Cuando alguien pide hundir un barco que salva vidas, está revelando no solo el desprecio por la dignidad humana, sino también nos recuerda a un discurso de los momentos más oscuros de la Historia"."Cuando un líder político normaliza la violencia verbal contra quienes defendemos los derechos humanos, está abriendo una puerta a que otros puedan justificar ataques reales", prosigue Camps. En estos momentos hay un barco de Open Arms atracado en Santa Cruz de Tenerife por la firma del convenio de colaboración con el Gobierno canario, y planean desplegarse al menos dos meses en aguas del archipiélago. El entrevistado afirma que está ilusionados: "Para nosotros significa ampliar nuestra mirada. Llevamos diez años en el Mediterráneo y ahora podemos acercar a la sociedad isleña la realidad de todo lo que ocurre en la ruta atlántica, que no es poco. Es una ruta mortífera, larga, durísima y muy poco conocida", dice. Escuchar audio

The bible tells us in 2nd Peter chapter 1, that God has already given us all we need. As Christians, many of us know about this verse, but we don't know this verse. In a world that teaches us to get more and tells us we don't have enough, does this promise from God still stand?  Give this sermon a listen to find out.  

In this episode, we speak with Jeff Crisp, formerly of the UN refugee agency (UNHCR) and now part of the campaign group United Against Inhumanity (UAI).    He tells us how and why UAI was set up, how it is trying to get European governments to treat people-on-the-move humanely, and about the organisation's recently published manifesto: Stop the Inhumanity at Europe's Borders.    We also discuss the far-right's anti-asylum-seeker protests in the UK, Italy's failed deportation deal with Albania, and the US's similar deals with countries in Africa and Latin America.    ---Get in touch---   Twitter: @FleetCivil   Mastodon: @civilfleet@kolektiva.social   Bluesky: @thecivilfleet.bsky.social   Instagram: thecivilfleet   info@civilfleet.com   civilfleet.com   --- Show notes --- Follow Jeff Crisp on Twitter, via @JFCrisp   Find United Against Inhumanity's website here: against-inhumanity.org   Read UAI's manifesto here: https://www.against-inhumanity.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/manifesto-short-version-2.pdf    Read Jeff's article on why refugees are going hungry across the world: https://www.against-inhumanity.org/2025/08/19/worlds-refugees-hungry/   Read Jeff's New York Times on Trump's offshoring policy here: https://www.nytimes.com/2025/07/23/opinion/migration-deportation-sudan-trump.html   Or get around the NYT's paywall here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Hz23t1zKeIbQxFZqG1dLkR-cDQ_Hiie29yKrhQcF6NA/edit?tab=t.0    Here's the article Jeff speaks about on why some refugees don't stay in France: https://www.against-inhumanity.org/2023/05/05/asylum-seekers-crossing-the-english-channel-why-dont-they-stay-in-france-by-marie-leveille/   Ben mentions a bunch of other people and organisations that have been on the podcast before.

Life is full of uncertainty, fear, and moments that can shake us to the core. But in John 14, Jesus reminds us: “Let not your hearts be troubled.” In this message, we'll discover how to find peace that goes beyond circumstance and a hope that cannot be shaken, because our confidence is in Christ alone.

The parable of the Prodigal Son from Luke 15 reveals profound truths about our relationship with God and the nature of sin. The younger son's journey begins with dissatisfaction and a desire for independence, demanding his inheritance early—essentially wishing his father dead. He travels to a distant country, representing not just physical distance but relational separation from his father. This mirrors how sin operates in our lives, promising satisfaction but delivering destruction.After squandering his inheritance on foolish living, the son hits rock bottom during a famine, finding himself feeding pigs and longing to eat their food—a particularly degrading position for a Jewish man. The turning point comes when he 'comes to his senses' and decides to return home, prepared to be a servant rather than a son. His father's response is extraordinary—seeing him from a distance, running to him with compassion, and fully restoring him with the best robe, a ring, sandals, and a celebration feast. This demonstrates God's overwhelming grace that doesn't just forgive but completely restores.The elder brother's bitter reaction reveals another heart problem—self-righteousness that prevents him from celebrating his brother's return. This challenges us to examine our own hearts: Are we wandering from God? Are we trying to earn His favor like the elder brother? Or are we ready to receive His grace? God eagerly awaits our return, no matter how far we've strayed, ready to restore us fully as His beloved children. First Baptist Church depends on faithful and generous giving.

They say it's not what you know, but who you know. In this week's message, Ps. Brian unpacks the power of relationships, divine connections, and how knowing the right Person, Jesus, can change everything."

Trent Hill-8/10/25-Open Arms

Pastor Alan Fay unpacks a moment in Acts where Paul, on trial for his faith, is accused of being “out of his mind.” Alan challenges listeners with a bold truth: to truly believe and live out the gospel may look crazy to the world but it's even crazier not to. Discover why following Jesus requires a radical shift in thinking and why the so-called “foolishness” of the gospel is actually the wisest choice you can make.

In this message from Isaiah 43, Ps. Brian Somerville speaks to the moments when staying stuck is no longer an option. God is doing a new thing, but to see it, you have to let go of what was. It's not just about moving forward; it's about trusting that what's ahead is greater than what's behind. It's time to move on.

In this message by Matthew Craig, we dive into the story of Gideon and the Midianites, a powerful reminder that victory doesn't come from our strength, but God's. When the odds are stacked against you, God often shows up in unexpected ways to prove His power. Your weakness might just be the setup for His glory.

In this timely message, Ps. Brian Somerville unpacks a pivotal moment from the Gospel of Matthew, what he calls a Messiah Moment. It's the kind of moment that shifts everything, where revelation meets response.

In this stirring message, Ps. Brian Somerville. challenges the difference between religion and relationship. Drawing from the Gospel of Matthew, we confront the traditions that often get in the way of true transformation. It's not about performance, it's about presence. Sometimes, losing your religion is exactly what it takes to find Jesus.

In this powerful message from Matthew 14, Ps. Sean Booth explores a question many overlook: How does Peter get back onto the boat? Through Peter's story, we discover a deeper truth: failure doesn't disqualify you from walking again. Whether you've stumbled, sunk, or strayed, God still calls you to rise. This is your moment. This is your time to walk again.

One Year Bible Podcast: Join Hunter and Heather Barnes on 'The Daily Radio Bible' for a daily 20-minute spiritual journey. Engage with scripture readings, heartfelt devotionals, and collective prayers that draw you into the heart of God's love. Embark on this year-long voyage through the Bible, and let each day's passage uplift and inspire you. TODAY'S EPISODE: Welcome to the Daily Radio Bible! In today's episode, host Hunter guides us through day 150 of our journey, exploring Proverbs chapters 10-12 and Romans chapter 10. Together, we reflect on wisdom, integrity, generosity, and Paul's reminder that God's arms are always open to us. Hunter encourages us to embrace the love God freely offers, live a life rooted in gratitude, and share that thankfulness with those around us. Join us for a time of scripture, prayer, and reflection as we discover how God's love transforms our daily lives. Let's dive in! TODAY'S DEVOTION: Open Arms I love how Paul ends his chapter where he says, regarding Israel, All day long, I have opened my arms to them. Open arms. That's the picture Paul wants to leave us with. God's arms are open, always embracing, always drawing us in, always pursuing us, all day long. And, of course, it is entirely right for us to make the application not only for Israel, but for us, for the world. God's arms are open all day long. And, of course, that is revealed in its most perfect expression in the life of our Lord Jesus—his arms spread wide open on that cross, embracing the world. For God so loved the world that he gave himself. My prayer today is that I will live each and every day of my life fully aware, fully convinced, fully embracing the God who has embraced me. That's the prayer that I have for my family, for my wife, my daughters, my son. And that's the prayer that I have for you. May it be so. TODAY'S PRAYERS: Almighty and ever loving god, you have brought us to the light of a new morning. Cleanse the thoughts of our hearts by the inspiration of your holy spirit that we may walk this day in peace. Guard our steps from temptation. Shield us from the weight of fear and shame, and lead us deeper into the joy of your presence through Jesus Christ our lord. Amen. Oh Christ, light of the nations, shine in every place where shadows dwell. Call the scattered home. Heal the wounds of division, and gather all people into the communion of your grace. May the knowledge of the lord cover the earth as the waters cover the sea. Amen. And now, lord, make my hands ready for mercy. Make my eyes quick to see the hurting, my ears open to the cry of the lonely, and my feet swift to bring good news. Let me seek to bless, not to be noticed, to serve, not to be praised, to forgive, not to hold back. For in your way is life, in your mercy is healing, and in your love is the peace this world cannot give. Amen. And now as our lord has taught us, we are bold to pray: Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever and ever. Amen.   OUR WEBSITE: www.dailyradiobible.com We are reading through the New Living Translation.   Leave us a voicemail HERE: https://www.speakpipe.com/dailyradiobible Subscribe to us at YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@Dailyradiobible/featured OTHER PODCASTS: Listen with Apple Podcast DAILY BIBLE FOR KIDS DAILY PSALMS DAILY PROVERBS DAILY LECTIONARY DAILY CHRONOLOGICAL  

We're celebrating our 10th anniversary all year by digging in the vaults to re-present classic episodes with fresh commentary. Today, we're revisiting our 2021 conversation with Steve Perry. ABOUT STEVE PERRYOne of the most iconic voices in rock music history, Steve Perry is best known as the lead singer of the band Journey during the group's most successful period. His first Top 20 pop hit as either a performer or songwriter was the solo-written “Lovin', Touchin', Squeezin',” which became a hit for the band in 1979. In the following decade he co-wrote an unbelievable streak of classic songs with Neil Shon and Jonathan Cain, including “Any Way You Want It,” “Who's Crying Now,” “Open Arms,” “Separate Ways,” ”Send Her My Love,” and “Don't Stop Believin',” a single that's been certified five times platinum. His 1984 debut solo album Street Talk produced the classic singles “Oh Sherrie” and “Foolish Heart.” After penning additional Journey hits “Be Good to Yourself,” “Girl Can't Help It,” and “I'll be Alright Without You” he departed the band and released his second solo album, For the Love of Strange Medicine, featuring the single “You Better Wait.” After briefly reuniting with Journey and co-writing the additional hits “When You Love a Woman” and “Message of Love” in the mid-1990s, he stepped away from recording. Steve returned in 2018 with his third solo album, Traces. In 2021 he released his fourth solo record, a holiday collection called The Season, produced by Steve and Thom Flowers, and featuring contributions from multi-instrumentalist Dallas Kruse. The Rock & Roll Hall of Famer, whom Rolling Stone magazine named among the “100 Greatest Singers of All Time” joins us to talk about exploring the great American Christmas songbook from a writer's perspective, to share some stories about his own songs, and to offer some insight into his approach to the craft.

Have you ever felt like you're stuck chasing the “perfect place”? That somewhere else, someday soon, life will finally feel complete? You're not alone. Many of us think fulfillment is just around the corner—after the next job, next relationship, or the next season of life. But what if the perfect place isn't out there somewhere… what if it's right here, right now, with the Father?In Luke 15, we meet a young man who believed his best life was waiting in a distant land. But after losing it all, he found himself in a place of regret and desperation. That's where his journey back home began—and where he discovered something beautiful: the Father had never stopped watching, waiting, and loving.Discontentment can lead to destruction, but a single U-turn can change everything. No matter where you are or how far you've gone, the Father's arms are open wide. Today is the perfect time to take your place—and come home.Subscribe to Our Channel! New to LifeRock?

In this powerful episode, we explore the emotional and often unseen journey of a mother's love. Sheryl Marazzo is a force of nature—fierce, steady, and filled with a bright hope. Living a life woven with heartbreak and tragedy, her resilience and sheer will drove her to find happiness and peace right alongside the unimaginable. As a mom to three children—one living with a rare disease, one a rare disease carrier, and one battling addiction—she brings honesty, humor, and deep heart to a conversation about survival, sacrifice, and the unexpected ways we figure out how to keep going. A long-time advocate and nonprofit founder, Sheryl's story is framed by Duchenne muscular dystrophy, but beyond labels and medical conditions, hers is simply a story about being fully human.

Today, we have the amazing Andi Andrews sharing with us, a relatable and practical message.  Andi dives into a hard truth which is how the condition of your heart matters. Sometimes we can let life change the condition of heart, changing our heart from soft and warm towards others to cold and hard.  Proverbs 4:23 tells us to “Guard your heart above all else, for it determines the course of your life”  Today we hope that you realise the importance of protecting your heart but also dealing with the current state of your heart.    #openarms #churchonline #sermon #onlinechurch  Stay Connected: Visit our website - https://openarms.ie/ Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/openarms.ie/ Instagram - https://instagram.com/openarms_church Donate/Give - https://openarms.ie/giving

With Daydream, Mariah expanded her musical palette, blending her soaring vocals with hip-hop, soul, and adult contemporary influences, solidifying her place as a global superstar.
