It's Monday, August 24th, 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 Adam McManus Urge Chinese ambassador to allow Chinese pastor to come to U.S. ChinaAid, an international group supporting persecuted Christians inside China, has launched a petition and advocacy campaign to bring Pastor John Cao back to his home in the U.S, reports International Christian Concern. Pastor John has been imprisoned in China for seven years for his missionary work on the China-Myanmar border, helping establish 16 schools that serve thousands of local children and families. While he was “released” in 2024, he is still blocked from returning to the United States, where his wife and sons -- all of whom are American citizens -- live. To make matters worse, Pastor John now has advanced prostate cancer, and his situation is even more critical. ChinaAid's campaign and petition, which I've signed, call for Pastor John's immediate release, particularly urging President Donald Trump to personally raise his situation in his meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping on September 24th. Write a polite and urgent 4-sentence note to the Chinese Ambassador to America, Xie Feng, urging him to persuade Chinese President Jinping to release Pastor John Cao so he can reunite with his wife and children here in America. Send it to the Chinese Embassy, 3505 International Place NW, Washington, DC 20008. You can find that address in our transcript today at www.TheWorldview.com. Wolves in White Coats: How doctors profited from “gender medicine” Appearing on Epoch TV, Admiral Brian Christine, who serves as the Health and Human Services Assistant Secretary, discussed a disturbing new report entitled “Wolves in White Coats: How Doctors and Hospitals Pushed and Profited from the Fraud of so-called ‘Gender Medicine.'” He laid significant blame on the Biden administration and his predecessor, a man born Richard Levine in 1957, who pretended to be a woman named “Rachel.” CHRISTINE: “The gender ideology pushed on the American people, and these unfortunate children, by the Biden administration, the last administration, and by my predecessor ‘Rachel' Levine, he really pushed gender ideology on the country and even suggested removing age limitations on performing mutilating surgeries or castrating chemicals.” Admiral Christine defined what a sex-rejecting procedure was. CHRISTINE: “Sex rejecting procedures: What we mean is either castrating chemicals, cross-sex hormones, or even surgeries to change the external appearance of the body. These mutilating surgeries that don't do anything to change gender, but radically change the appearance of the body, and can certainly have complications along the way.” He revealed the alarming number of surgeries that were tragically performed on confused minors. CHRISTINE: “From 2019 up to 2023, $120 million spent on sex-rejecting procedures in this country. Over 5,500 surgeries, sex-rejecting surgeries on minors.” Not surprisingly, fraud abounded. CHRISTINE: “There was $11 million billed for ‘precocious' puberty in kids who were 13 to 17 years old. That's not precocious puberty. That's just puberty!” The financial incentive for the ethically-challenged doctors is obvious. CHRISTINE: “If you take a child who has gender dysphoria and you get them to agree to sex-rejecting procedures, you've created a patient for life. So, there can be a tremendous financial incentive for these practitioners and these clinics to have these patients who come back again and again and again.” Psalm 82:4 says, “Rescue the weak and the needy; deliver them from the hand of the wicked.” ‘Influencer' tries to justify her 26-week abortion A social media fitness and lifestyle influencer in Australia with 480,000 followers, named Danielle Mitchell, has publicly documented the details of her abortion at 26 weeks after discovering her baby had severe defects and might have died before birth, reports LifeSiteNews.com. MITCHELL: “We had our fetal medicine growth scan today. And they also had our results for the amnio[centesis], the chromosomal abnormalities, and some new findings on her brain, being that she won't survive.” She went viral for sharing a video on X in which she explains that she had scheduled an abortion. Oddly enough, she entitled it, “Our sweet baby girl goes to sleep with the angels today at 26 weeks.” Through tears, she said this. MITCHELL: “I feel like I'm at peace with my decision. I didn't know how late-term terminations work. “You lay on a bed, awake, and they have doctors and midwives in the room. Under ultrasound, [they put] a needle into the baby's heart, and inject it to stop it from beating. And then you slowly feel all the movements stop from the baby.  No more kicks. Get sent home for another 24 hours, back up to the hospital, and they induce you, and give birth to a sleeping baby.” Mitchell became extremely emotional, saying that she needed to “let out” the grief before she explained to her young daughter that her baby would not be here anymore. MITCHELL: “Baby sister is gonna go live in the clouds today with Nanny Sandy. Okay?” DAUGHTER: “I love you.” MITCHELL: “I love you too, baby. Cuddle?” DAUGHTER: (giggles) On X, Mitchell's video of herself explaining the abortion was shared without the context of the child's condition. She was lambasted there in a flurry of outrage, while on her Instagram page she was met with more sympathy by followers who perceived that she felt she had “no choice” and was sparing her baby suffering overall. Some social media users pointed out that the diagnoses and prognoses of doctors for unborn children are frequently false. LifeSiteNews noted, “A high likelihood that a baby will not survive birth is never a justification for the direct killing of innocent life.” In response, veteran pro-life activist Frank Pavone shared a prayer for women considering abortion, and for the protection of unborn children. He wrote, “Dear Lord, send Your heavenly angels to women thinking about abortion. Protect their unborn children, soften the hearts of their parents, and open their eyes to the truth that abortion takes an innocent human life. Amen.” Young brothers address science and the Bible And finally, Beau, age 11, and Gray Reusch, age 8, are young brothers who have gone viral on social media for creating Christian faith and apologetics content through their family's brand, Armor Up Kids. Their father is Will Reusch, the founder of Armor Up Academy. In one of their videos, they explore the Bible and science. GREY: “People say, ‘It's Bible versus science.'” BEAU: “But what if they've been saying the same thing the whole time?” GREY: “Watch this.” BEAU: “I'm Beau.” GREY: “And I'm Grey.” BEAU AND GREY: “Let's show you something crazy!” GREY: “The Bible says a grateful heart is good medicine. Proverbs 17:22.” BEAU: “Science says gratitude reduces depression and improves mental health.” GREY:  “Be transformed by the renewing of your mind. That's Romans 12:2.” BEAU: “Science calls that, here we go, neuroplasticity. It means your brain can literally change.” GREY: “Jesus said some things only come from prayer and fasting. That's Matthew 17:21.” BEAU: “Science says fasting helps your body heal and reset itself. It's called cellular autophagy. And it actually won the Nobel Prize.” GREY: “But a peaceful heart gives life, but envy rots the bones. That's Proverbs 14:30.” BEAU: “Science shows anger increases disease and stress in your body.” GREY: “Sing and make music for the Lord. That's Ephesians 5:19.” BEAU: “Science says music releases dopamine and reduces stress.” GREY: “So, the Bible isn't outdated.” BEAU: “It's ahead of its time.” GREY: “God designed your mind …” BEAU: “and science is just catching up.” GREY AND BEAU: “So, it's not Bible versus science. It's truth confirming truth! ” GREY: “Don't ignore what God already said.” BEAU: “You might be missing what actually works.” Psalm 111:2 says, "Great are the works of the Lord; they are pondered by all who delight in them."

Join us for the 2nd week of our series, Commune. Pastor John continues speaking on the importance of being within God-given community. We were made by community for community; Your future depends on the community you're within.

Paul begins his letter about the gospel with an introduction to God's gospel message. We will study the book of Romans in depth for the rest of the school year over the course of 30 sermons.

In this powerful message, Pastor Putnam reminds us that God is the Author of our story. Even when we find ourselves in difficult, confusing, or painful chapters, God sees the entire story and already knows the ending. Drawing from Jeremiah 29:11, Hebrews 12:2, and the stories of Joseph, Peter, and Jesus, this message encourages us to stop trying to control the pen and instead trust the One who holds it. God can use waiting, disappointment, rejection, closed doors, and even failure to accomplish His greater purpose. Sometimes what looks like a period is only the end of a chapter. God may be preparing to turn the page. The Author is a message about faith, trust, redemption, and remembering that Jesus is not only the Author of our faith—He is also the Finisher. We may not understand every chapter, but we can trust the One writing the story. To learn more about what God is doing in Sheboygan County and beyond, visit us at posc.church!

This week, Pastor John dives into the third chapter of Ruth, exploring what it means to keep trusting God while we wait for his promises to unfold. He highlights how Ruth takes a courageous step of faith by approaching Boaz at the threshing floor, showing us that daring to hope often requires moving forward even when we don't have all the answers yet. Pastor John reminds us that just because we don't see the full resolution to our struggles immediately doesn't mean God isn't at work. Just as Ruth experiences a partial provision and still has questions about the future, we are encouraged to remain faithful in the small, daily tasks God gives us. He emphasizes that we can find peace by trusting in God's character, knowing that he is writing our story and providing for our needs even in the middle of the waiting.

Why does evangelism matter when God has chosen whom he will save? Pastor John unpacks and rejoices in our role as God's instruments.

John Pavlovitz (author, “A Bigger Table,” pastor, and Substack Writer, “The Beautiful Mess”) joins Chris Cuomo to examine how Donald Trump and MAGA have transformed conservative Christianity, why political identity has become so difficult to break, and whether Americans can still be persuaded out of increasingly extreme political camps. Pavlovitz argues that Christian nationalism has become a “Jesusless Christianity” built around power rather than the teachings of Jesus, and explains why he sees Trumpism as a cultic movement that has replaced traditional sources of moral authority with loyalty to one person. Chris and John also debate whether the left has its own problem with ideological purity, the rise of the DSA as an alternative to the Democratic establishment, and why frustration with the status quo continues to fuel political disruption. They discuss Chris's concern that Islamophobia could become MAGA's most effective distraction heading into the midterms, the difficulty of combating fear of Muslims in a country where many voters have little exposure to Islam, and what could happen if Americans lose faith in the legitimacy of the next election.   Join The Chris Cuomo Project on YouTube for ad-free episodes, early releases, exclusive access to Chris, and more: https://www.youtube.com/@chriscuomo/join Follow and subscribe to The Chris Cuomo Project on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and YouTube for new episodes every Tuesday and Thursday: https://linktr.ee/cuomoproject Learn more about your ad choices.

In this message from The Follow Me Series, Pastor Putnam takes an honest and challenging look at the life of Judas Iscariot. Though Judas walked closely with Jesus, witnessed His miracles, and was one of the twelve disciples, his heart gradually drifted through compromise, greed, and unresolved offense. This powerful message challenges us to examine our own hearts and recognize the warning signs of spiritual drift. Being around Jesus is not the same as truly belonging to Him. Pastor Putnam reminds us of the importance of prayer, God's Word, worship, accountability, forgiveness, and complete surrender. Most importantly, this message offers hope: even when we have drifted, Jesus is still reaching for us. Don't ignore the drift—wake up, turn back, and draw near to Him.

How can Christians avoid placing a relationship or hobby over a desire for God? Pastor John calls us to let earthly delights turn us Godward.

Join Pastor Putnam for a powerful message from Psalm 139 titled “The Inescapable Visibility of God.” This sermon reminds us that God knows us completely, sees every part of our lives, and is always present—no matter how high, low, far, or dark our circumstances may become. Pastor Putnam encourages us to stop hiding and start inviting God to search our hearts, knowing that God's vision is not meant to condemn us, but to reach, restore, cleanse, lead, and hold us. Even after seeing every failure, struggle, and secret, God still reaches for us with His grace and love. Discover the freedom that comes from knowing: “I cannot hide from God—and because He loves me, I don't have to.” To learn more about what God is doing in Sheboygan County and beyond, visit us at posc.church!

Pastor John biddle 2 Corinthians 4;8-11

Join us this Sunday as Pastor John leads us through John 1 and gives us the opportunity to consider the blessings we have in the light of Jesus.

This week, Pastor John shares a heartfelt message about finding hope in the midst of life's uncertainty. He guides us through the second chapter of the book of Ruth, showing how God often works behind the scenes in our most ordinary, difficult circumstances. Pastor John emphasizes that God's provision doesn't always arrive all at once; rather, it often grows one faithful step at a time. He highlights that we can trust in God's hesed—His unfailing, covenantal loving-kindness—even when we cannot see the full picture of our redemption. The sermon serves as a gentle reminder that we are never alone, that our current struggles are not the end of the story, and that God is actively orchestrating hope in the fields of our lives, often through unexpected kindness and the support of others.

Are selfies a sign of the end times? Pastor John looks beyond smartphones and social media to our society's desire for deep satisfaction.

Sanctification is not just a personal journey. Colossians 3 makes it clear that growing more like Christ is deeply connected to how we treat the people around us. Paul calls believers to put off the marks of the old self, things like anger, malice, and lying, and to put on compassion, humility, patience, and love. Nearly everything on that list is relational. Spiritual growth was never meant to be a solo pursuit. It is meant to draw us closer to Christ and, in doing so, draw us closer to one another. Christ is the head, He is sufficient, and He calls us to walk together in step with His Spirit.Thank you for joining us at NorthRidge Church!

In Matthew 22:41–46, Jesus reveals that the Messiah is more than a descendant of David—He is David's Lord. This sermon calls us to behold the majesty of Jesus as the eternal Son of God, our risen King, and the sovereign Lord who reigns at the Father's right hand. When familiarity replaces wonder, we must see Christ afresh and respond with worship, surrender, and awe.Mission Church — www.missionlasvegas.com

Join us this week as Pastor John helps us understand why everything should be done in love. 1 Corinthians 13:1-13 ESV: 13 If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal.  2  And if I have prophetic powers, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing.  3  If I give away all I have, and if I deliver up my body to be burned, but have not love, I gain nothing. 4  Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant  5  or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful;  6  it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth.  7  Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. 8  Love never ends. As for prophecies, they will pass away; as for tongues, they will cease; as for knowledge, it will pass away.  9  For we know in part and we prophesy in part,  10  but when the perfect comes, the partial will pass away.  11  When I was a child, I spoke like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I gave up childish ways.  12  For now we see in a mirror dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I have been fully known. 13  So now faith, hope, and love abide, these three; but the greatest of these is love. [scripture explanation] 1. Without love I am nothing and gain nothing - No matter how gifted I am, without love, I am nothing. No matter how much I give, without love, I gain nothing. 2. With love I have everything - With God's love working in me and through me, I have everything! - "The love of Christ compels us…" (2 Cor. 5:14). [How we should respond.] 1. God is patient with your progress - (Matt. 15:32-37) 2. God gives when you want to get - (Mark 10:35-36) 3. God doesn't keep score of your sins. - “True love never gloats at someone's failure, nor thrills at the thought of being able to lecture someone on his or her shortcomings. Love never relishes the opportunity to say, “I told you so.”" 4. God believes the best in you. - THE BEST IN YOU IS CHRIST IN YOU!

Sunday morning message from Pastor John.

At Jesus's last breath, a crowd of saints rose from their tombs in Jerusalem. Pastor John offers six reasons Matthew's Gospel includes this event.

Pastor John Nuzzo and Pastor Sean Moore continue discussing the transition of leadership of Victory Family Church.  Pastor Sean answers questions about what has been most surprising and what he is most excited about.  They discuss the process of empowering the Abraham generation to accelerate the Isaac generation so that they miss the pain and potholes of the Abrahams.  Over the next three years, these two leaders will teach the Abrahams how to accelerate, not just tolerate the next generation.  These leaders have a father/son relationship which allows them to be truthful with each other.  In three years, the church will be larger, have more income, have eliminated debt, expanded Kingdom Builders, and will be the greatest it's ever been known for.  Pastor John and Michelle are accelerating Pastor Sean and Sarah so that they can go further and faster, which is what we all desire for our own children.  Stay tuned for the days ahead and see God's grace and provision in action!    The Acceleration Mandate by Pastor John Nuzzo details roadblocks and resources for the Abraham and Isaac generations with a clear pathway and roadmap to address those roadblocks.  The Acceleration Mandate is available wherever books are sold.

Pastor John begins a new series on renewing our minds with the word of God.
