We're BACK! ❤️After a much-needed week of rest, reflection, and allowing God to work on some things behind the scenes, I am so excited to be back with a brand-new episode of the Anchored by the Sword Podcast! And honestly, I couldn't think of a better conversation to come back with.Today, I'm joined by Melissa Miller, author of But I Prayed for This: What to Do When Living in God's Yes Is Harder Than You Expected. And can I just say…this conversation is SO relatable.Have you ever prayed for something, watched God answer that prayer, and then thought…“Wait a minute. I prayed for this. So why is this so hard?”Melissa knows that feeling firsthand. She shares her powerful story of coming to know Jesus while in college, after growing up in a home where God and the Bible were never talked about. Years later, she found herself walking through multiple major life changes at once—including a relocation, a new job, and adopting two siblings from foster care.These were answers to prayer. But they also brought exhaustion, uncertainty, adjustment, trauma, grief, and a whole lot of dependence on God.And that's where this conversation gets REAL.We talk about the pressure we put on ourselves when we're struggling in a season we prayed for.The “I should…” statements.I should be happier.I should be more grateful.I should have this figured out by now.I prayed for this, so why am I struggling?Melissa reminds us that admitting something is hard does not make us ungrateful.We also talk about shame, finding safe community, the importance of compassionate witnesses, and why sometimes people don't need us to fix their situation or give them a Christian cliché. Sometimes they just need someone to sit beside them and say:“I'm here. I understand. That really is hard.”And then we talk about her WHOLE framework and why God cares about us as whole people—not just our spiritual lives. We talk about wellness, our hearts, our mindset, our relationship with God, and our relationships with other people. Because taking care of yourself isn't about being selfish. Sometimes caring for the whole person God created you to be is exactly what helps you stay anchored when life feels anything but steady.If you are currently living in an answered prayer that feels harder than you expected, I want you to hear this:You are not broken.You are not ungrateful.You didn't necessarily hear God wrong.And you don't have to pretend that everything is easy just because it's something you prayed for.Sometimes you're simply walking through the adjustment period that comes with a new season.And God is still right there with you.Bio:Melissa Miller is a family girl, writer, and Reboot Retreat facilitator living in Tennessee. She is a contributor to sites such as Mother.ly, Her View from Home, and the YouVersion Bible app. Melissa has been married for over twenty years, has five children, and is an advocate for vulnerable children in foster care.Having experienced an unconventional adoption as a teen and later adopting a sibling set from foster care, she has a heart to help kids from hard places find belonging. Melissa loves playing pickleball and thinks “just one more chapter” is a perfectly reasonable bedtime strategy. Through her writing and two-day Reboot Retreat process, she loves helping people step out of survival mode, establish life-giving rhythms, and rediscover joy in their everyday lives.Anchor Verses:Hebrews 13:8Psalm 54:5Connect with Melissa:Website: https://www.melissamillerwriter.com IG: https://www.instagram.com/melissamillerwritesFB: https://www.facebook.com/melissamillerwriter/Be sure to check out Melissa's website for current promotions and book-launch offers!***If this episode encouraged you, I'd love for you to take a minute to rate and review the Anchored by the Sword Podcast, and share this episode with someone who may need this reminder today—you never know whose life God may touch through your simple share!

When God Doesn't Answer the Way You Prayed | Before You Quit #2 When you've prayed, sacrificed, and trusted God for years—and the answer still doesn't come—what happens to your faith? In Day 2 of Rob Skinner's new book, Before You Quit: Hope for the Christian Who Feels Done, Rob shares one of the most personal and painful stories in the book. After becoming a Christian, Rob prayed intensely for his parents to come to faith. He hoped his father would turn to God before dying of pancreatic cancer. Years later, Rob moved his wife and three children to Ashland, Oregon, gave up a paid ministry position, started a church in his living room, began a new career, and endured significant financial loss during the Great Recession—all while hoping his mother would eventually respond to the gospel. She never did. On her deathbed, she told him to stop praying for her. That loss opened what Rob describes as a hole in his soul. He had prayed. He had sacrificed. He had rearranged his life. And somewhere along the way, he began believing that God owed him the outcome he wanted. In this deeply personal episode, Rob talks about quiet disappointment with God, unanswered prayer, grief, delayed hope, and what happens when our expectations of God collide with His sovereignty. You'll hear about: Rob's years of praying for his parents His father's death and the hoped-for "thief on the cross" moment that never came Why Rob moved his family back to southern Oregon Starting a church while supporting his family through real estate Losing retirement savings and property during the Great Recession His mother's resistance to Christianity The spiritual collapse Rob felt after her death Why he began feeling that God "owed" him Romans 9 and the difficult lesson of trusting the Potter How to continue loving God when His silence hurts Why disappointment doesn't have to become distance If you're carrying unanswered prayers, disappointment with God, grief, or the feeling that your sacrifice should have produced a different outcome, this episode is for you. You may not have the answer you wanted. But you do not have to walk away. Keep going. Before You Quit: Hope for the Christian Who Feels Done is available on Amazon and through RobSkinner.com. If you know someone who is struggling with disappointment toward God or considering leaving the faith, send them this episode. Rob's goal is to inspire you to live a no-regrets life, make this life count, and multiply disciples, leaders, and churches.

Is there really only ONE way to God, or are all religions just different paths to the same place?

In this sermon on Isaiah 37, we explore how God responds to humble trust, the reality of His sovereignty over earthly powers, and the immense power of prayer.

Sometimes the most powerful answer to prayer is not instant change, but a reminder to stop forcing the timeline and trust God to do what only God can do. This episode brings that truth to life through a raw, funny, and deeply honest conversation that moves from pain and disappointment to reconciliation, wisdom, and hope.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In this episode, Dr. Emily Brownlee shares her journey from traditional medicine to holistic pelvic health care, highlighting her personal birth experiences, the importance of pelvic therapy, and how faith and family shaped her approach to health and motherhood.

Psalm 130 shows us how to keep praying and waiting with hope when nothing changes by trusting God's forgiveness, faithful love, and abundant redemption.

DECLARE LIGHT | Prophetic Prayer | believe , Persuasion, Integrity | Chimdi M. Ohahuna Believe God: Your Prayer Will Become a Manifested Reality Welcome to another powerful edition of DECLARE LIGHT, the weekly Prophetic Prayer with Chimdi M. Ohahuna on the GRACELIFECOMI Podcast. This week, we stand firmly on the words of Jesus in Mark 11:23–24, where He teaches us the power of believing when we pray. Jesus makes it clear that faith is not merely asking God for something, it is being persuaded that God's Word is true and trusting His integrity to fulfill what He has spoken. One of the greatest challenges believers face is praying while battling doubt and unbelief. Circumstances, delays, disappointments, and the pressures of life can make us question whether God's promises are really true. But this week's prophetic prayer calls us back to the foundation of faith: believe God! We explore the meaning of the biblical word for “believe,” emphasizing the idea of thinking God's Word to be true, being persuaded by His promises, and placing our confidence in Him. The enemy may attack our minds with doubt, but we are called to intentionally renew our minds and remain persuaded that God is faithful. As we pray this week, we declare that we will believe God irrespective of our circumstances. We will trust His Word, stand upon His promises, and remain convinced that He is not a man that He should lie. We believe that the prayers we have prayed will become manifested realities according to His Word and purpose. This week, believe God. Believe His Word. Believe His promises. Remain persuaded. And go forth expecting your testimony! Go into this week rejoicing, return rejoicing, go forth testifying, and come back with testimonies, in the precious name of Jesus. Scripture Focus: Mark 11:23–24; Hebrews 11:6

Life's real contest isn't about trophies or awards, our greatest challenges are spiritual. In today's message, Pastor Jeff Ables discusses how to "Bring Your 'A' Game" on spiritual terms.

What happens when you finally get the life you prayed for… and realize that it's still hard?In this episode, “Nobody Prepares You for the Life You Prayed For,” I'm talking about the emotional side of achieving your dreams, entering new seasons of life, and realizing that answered prayers can still come with pressure, fear, uncertainty, and responsibility.For years, one of my biggest goals was getting into medical school. But once the dream becomes your real life, the question changes from “Can I get there?” to “Can I actually handle being here?”We talk about medical school, imposter syndrome, navigating your 20s, ambition, burnout, personal growth, gratitude, comparison, adulthood, and redefining success. I also reflect on the guilt that can come with struggling through something you once desperately wanted.Because being grateful doesn't mean everything has to feel easy.You can love the direction your life is going and still feel overwhelmed. You can be proud of yourself and still experience self-doubt. You can accomplish something major and still feel like a beginner.This episode is also about learning not to constantly move the finish line. It's easy to tell yourself you'll finally relax after the next exam, degree, job, relationship, financial goal, or milestone. But eventually, you have to realize that your life isn't waiting for you at the finish line.This is your life right now.If you're a medical student, premed, young professional, ambitious twenty-something, or simply someone entering a new chapter you once prayed for, this episode is for you.We're talking about:Achieving your dreams and adjusting to successMedical school and imposter syndromeNavigating your twentiesFeeling overwhelmed by an answered prayerAmbition, burnout, and comparisonBecoming a beginner againSeparating your identity from your accomplishmentsLearning to enjoy the presentRedefining what success means to youGrowing into the person capable of carrying the life you asked forMaybe nobody prepares you for the life you prayed for because becoming the person who can live that life is part of the journey.Don't become so focused on your next prayer that you forget you're already standing inside an old one.Keywords: personal growth, navigating your 20s, medical school journey, medical student life, premed podcast, medical school podcast, imposter syndrome, achieving your dreams, answered prayers, ambition and burnout, high achiever burnout, self-doubt, adulthood, quarter-life crisis, redefining success, medical student motivation, life transitions, comparison, gratitude, work-life balance, personal development, and learning to enjoy the present.

**Stay Prayed Up (Part II)** Prayer isn't a last resort—it's our first response and one of the most powerful resources we have as believers. In this message, we continue through Ephesians 6 and the armor of God, focusing on the essential role of prayer in spiritual warfare. We're challenged to pray with perseverance, remain spiritually alert, and refuse to give up when life gets difficult. Prayer isn't just about bringing our own needs before God; we're called to pray for our families, our church, fellow believers, missionaries, and those who desperately need Jesus. Discover how a consistent prayer life strengthens our faith, activates the promises of God, brings healing and breakthrough, and prepares us to stand firm in the battles we face. As a church, we're reminded that revival begins with a people who are willing to seek God, contend in prayer, and never stop believing. **Stay prayed up. Keep standing. Keep fighting. Keep praying.**

The time has come - this is the last week in this studio for the boys. They talk about what's to come with the move, how life can feel overwhelming, even when it's a blessing, and the importance of having more meaningful conversations.0:26 - Last Episode In The Studio7:28 - Blessings Can Still Feel Overwhelming20:47 - Different Priorities For Different Seasons29:16 - fantasy Football Trip To Nashville35:19 - The Overwhelming Times Is Where You Grow43:11 - Having More Meaningful Conversations

A Sermon From Pastor Darryl Lovell 8-2-26

Part I final message in the Putting It All On series, Pastor Art teaches that the last and often overlooked piece of the armor of God is prayer. Drawing from Ephesians 6:18, he challenges believers to make prayer their first response—not their last resort—and explains how prayer activates every other piece of God's armor. Discover why praying always, praying in the Spirit, and praying for others are essential to living a victorious Christian life and standing strong in spiritual warfare.

Hours before the cross, Jesus prayed for His followers, but not for what most people would expect. Rather than asking for comfort or escape from suffering, He prayed for their spiritual protection, lasting joy, and sanctification through God's truth.

The Shulhan Aruch (91:5) brings the opinion among the Rishonim that it is forbidden to recite a Beracha with one's head uncovered. Others, however, including the Maharshal (Rav Shlomo Luria, Poland, 1510-1573), ruled leniently, and maintained that it is technically permissible to recite a Beracha bareheaded. Some drew proof to this opinion from the Gemara's listing of the morning blessings, which, it appears, were recited in Talmudic times not all together (as we recite them today), but as one experienced each phenomenon – such as reciting "Poke'ah Ivrim" upon opening one'is eyes, "Zokef Kefufim" when standing out of bed, and so on. One of the blessings on this list is "Oter Yisrael Be'Tifara," which one recites when covering his head – seemingly indicating that the previous blessings were recited bareheaded, before the head-covering was placed. Hacham Ovadia Yosef noted that the Shulhan Aruch himself appears to contradict his stringent ruling. The Hida (Rav Haim Yosef David Azulai, 1724-1806) claims that the Shulhan Aruch did not definitively forbid reciting a Beracha bareheaded, as he merely mentions that there were those who maintained this opinion. In light of all of this, Hacham Ovadia concluded that although one should certainly abide by the stringent view and wear a Kippa whenever he recites a Beracha or prays, after the fact, if one prayed or recited a Beracha bareheaded, he does not need to repeat the prayer or Beracha. Thus, for example, if someone prayed alone at home (where there was nobody to point out to him that he was bareheaded), and afterward he realized that he was not wearing a Kippa, he does not need to repeat the prayer. This was also the position of Rav Shlomo Zalman Auerbach (Jerusalem, 1910-1995). Rav Moshe Feinstein (1895-1986) ruled stringently in this regard, maintaining that a prayer recited bareheaded is unacceptable and must therefore be repeated with a head-covering. This is not, however, the consensus opinion. An interesting question arises in the case of a person who hears thunder or sees lightening while bareheaded. Halacha requires reciting the Beracha "She'koho U'gburato Maleh Olam" upon hearing thunder, and the Beracha "Oseh Ma'aseh Bereshit" upon seeing lightening. Our custom, based on the Ben Ish Hai (Rav Yosef Haim of Baghdad, 1833-1909), is to recite these Berachot without the Name of Hashem (omitting the words "Hashem Elokenu Melech Ha'olam"). The Ben Ish Hai reasoned that since the Beracha needs to be recited within a second or two of hearing the thunder or seeing the lightening, one is very likely to miss the time for its recitation, and if he recites it after the time, his blessing would constitute a Beracha Le'batala (blessing recited in vain). It is therefore preferable as a measure of caution to always recite these Berachot without Hashem's Name. Hacham Ovadia Yosef, however, disagreed, and maintained that one should make an effort to recite the Beracha immediately after hearing thunder or seeing lightening, and recite the entire text of the Beracha. If a person hears thunder or sees lightening while he is bareheaded, he will likely miss the time for reciting the Beracha if he first puts on his Kippa. Hacham Ovadia ruled that in such a case, one may rely on the opinion that permits reciting a Beracha bareheaded, in order not to lose the opportunity to recite a Beracha. Preferably, though, one should put his hand on his head when reciting the Beracha, because there is a view among the Poskim that one's own hand qualifies as a head-covering. Although Halacha does not follow that view, it is preferable to use one's hand as a head-covering if he does not have the opportunity to put on a Kippa. As mentioned, however, our practice is to recite these Berachot without Hashem's Name, in which case it is certainly acceptable to recite them before putting on a Kippa. Summary: If one realized after praying that his head was bare during his prayer, the prayer is nevertheless valid and does not need to be repeated.

Have you ever felt like you had to earn your rest?In this deeply personal episode, I'm opening up about burnout, grief, anxiety, and the moment I realized my body was begging me to slow down. We often think rest only means sleep, but I've learned that rest can also look like setting boundaries, saying no without guilt, and choosing yourself before exhaustion chooses for you.If you've been carrying the weight of everyone else while neglecting yourself, this conversation is your reminder that rest isn't a luxury—it's a necessity.This week's challenge: Give yourself one intentional hour of guilt-free rest. You deserve it.Let's Keep the Conversation GoingI'd love to hear from you!What does rest look like in this season of your life?Share your thoughts with me on Instagram or leave a review if this episode encouraged you.

In this episode, you'll discover why the waiting season in your business isn't God withholding from you. It's God preparing you for what you've been praying for. If you're doing everything you know to do: showing up, learning, being faithful with what's in your hands and you're still asking "God, when is my turn?"It's easy to believe the lie that you missed something, that He's blessing everyone but you, or that your dream is too big.  But waiting isn't punishment. It's often the exact place where God is expanding your capacity, your faith, your stewardship, and your heart so you can actually carry what you're asking for. I share my own story of paying off $250,000 in debt and discovering that debt-free wasn't the finish line I thought it would be because the real work was healing my relationship with money, not just the number in my bank account.

How does one woman's unique approach to art and nature inspire her work? Genevieve Keeney-Vazquez hosts Ashley Worhol on "The Final Curtain Never Closes." Ashley's art features preserved butterflies and taxidermy, driven by her spiritual connection to nature. She raises butterflies like monarchs and swallowtails, observing their lifecycles and behaviors. Freezing preserves the colors, while a rehydration process keeps their muscles relaxed. Ashley’s art, including imperfections, appears in shadow boxes. Discussing taxidermy methods, she conveys her journey in the field over five years, showcased in various events. Butterflies hold symbolic value for her, seen as messages from angels or loved ones. Plan your visit to the museum today at nmfh.org and take a journey through over 30,000 square feet of fascinating history. Subscribe to The Final Curtain Never Closes on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts. Learn more about Ashley's work HERE. Key Takeaways 1. The careful and ethical practices involved in preserving butterflies and other insects highlight the artistry and respect for nature that goes into taxidermy. Techniques like freezing, rehydrating muscles, and using shadow boxes are essential to maintain the beauty and longevity of preserved specimens. 2. The deep emotional bond between Ashley Worhol and the butterflies she raises and preserves demonstrates how animals, even insects, can have distinct personalities and become meaningful companions. This connection enriches her art and gives profound personal satisfaction. 3. Butterflies hold significant symbolic meaning, often representing spiritual messages or signs from loved ones who have passed away. This theme underscores the comforting and guiding role that nature can play in human lives, providing both emotional and spiritual support. 4. Ashley offers practical guidance for nurturing butterflies, such as the importance of milkweed for monarchs and rue for swallowtails. This advice encourages more people to engage with and contribute to butterfly conservation efforts in their own backyards. 5. The integration of preserved butterflies into art allows for a unique form of creative expression. Ashley's participation in markets and exhibitions, such as the witch's brew and Dio de los Muertos, showcases the intersection of art, nature, and commerce, making her work accessible and inspiring to a broader audience. Each theme reflects a layer of both practical knowledge and profound personal and emotional connection, emphasizing the multifaceted nature of Ashley Worhol's work with butterflies and art.

In this episode of Fed by the Fruit, host KB is joined by Bible teacher and author Tami Nantz (This Isn't the Life I Prayed For) for an honest, hope-filled conversation about the book of Job and what it means to trust God when life doesn't make sense. Together, they talk about suffering and God's silence, why Job never gets an explanation, and how Scripture models bringing your doubts and questions to God, messy and unfiltered, because God can handle it. If you're in a difficult season (or walking alongside someone who is), this episode offers biblical encouragement to keep showing up, deepen your trust, and remember that God's silence is not the same as God's absence.Connect with Tami at taminantz.com and Instagram.

A man's lifelong hope to die while worshiping becomes reality when he collapses during a song based on Psalm 90, giving Jase, Al, and Zach a sobering reminder to number their days. The guys contrast that peaceful view of eternity with a billionaire biohacker's costly quest to reverse aging and escape death, then connect Phil's final years to Al's growing urgency to leave a lasting legacy for his family. Jase digs into James 2 and Genesis 22 to show why real faith cannot remain only a belief—it listens, trusts, and acts even when God's plan seems impossible.

Writer Rod Dreher broke the news on his Substack on Wednesday. The incident has not yet been detailed by any other outlets, but Dreher's report was reposted on X by the senior counsel of Alliance Defending Freedom, which has defended Räsänen in court over the years. War Secretary Pete Hegseth publicly prayed to King Jesus on July 4th On Independence Day, War Secretary Pete Hegseth delivered this extraordinary prayer at the White House. Listen. HEGSETH: “King Jesus, we come humbly before Your throne, praising You for all the providence You've bestowed upon this nation. For over 250 years, from George Washington to President Trump, we have dedicated this nation to one nation under God, and certainly, in God we trust. “And as we think 250 years ago to George Washington on bended knee in Valley Forge, appealing to Heaven on behalf of his troops in this young nation. We've appealed to You from the beginning, and may we continue to appeal to You. And tonight, we pray for our President, President Trump. Give him safety, give him wisdom. “Lord, we pray for our Vice President, our First Lady, our Second Lady, the cabinet members here, all the governors assembled here as well, our civil magistrates, Lord God. I ask that You give them the wisdom to see what is right and the courage to do it; wisdom defined as fear of the Lord, ear of the Lord being the source of all knowledge and wisdom, Lord God, Your eternal truths may they rule. “So, this evening, also, I would be remiss if I did not pray for our great troops, our men and women all around the globe, defending our great nation, as they have for 250 years. Lord God, watch over them and protect them. “It is in Your holy name, the Lord Jesus Christ, the King of Kings and Lord of Lords, that we pray, and we bless this food, too. Amen.” I bet you didn't hear that prayer on any secular news outlet. In Psalm 35:18, King David offers this prayer to God: “I will give You thanks in the great assembly; among the throngs I will praise You.” Students for Life gives Congress an ‘F' after Planned Parenthood's funding resumes Pro-lifers across America are reeling over the Republican-controlled Congress's failure to keep Planned Parenthood defunded. Now, Students for Life has taken the dramatic step of notifying every member of Congress that they have received a failing pro-life grade as a result, reports LifeSiteNews.com. Last July, President Donald Trump signed into law his “One Big Beautiful Bill”, a wide-ranging policy package that included a one-year ban on federal tax dollars going through Medicaid to entities that commit abortions for reasons other than rape, incest, or supposed threats to the mother's life.  While it denied millions to Planned Parenthood, pro-lifers warned from the start that it was only a temporary solution and urged Congress to enact a more permanent measure ahead of the provision's July 4, 2026 expiration date. Maine's Democratic Senatorial candidate suspends campaign Democratic Maine Senate candidate Graham Platner ended his campaign on July 8th after facing a detailed allegation of sexual assault, an astounding and rapid fall for the leftist oysterman whose dramatic rise and grassroots support helped him overcome establishment opposition to secure his party's nomination, reports Politico.com. But a persistent accumulation of controversies weighed on Platner's campaign for months. Monday marked a turning point: Democratic leadership, many of Platner's staunchest leftist backers, and key groups who had been helping fund his bid withdrew their support and pressured Platner to drop out after POLITICO reported a new allegation of sexual assault. Since his withdrawal from the race, several Democrats have expressed interest in running against Republican incumbent Senator Susan Collins. Appearing on Fox News, Democratic Senator John Fetterman of Pennsylvania did not pull any punches and spoke directly to Graham Platner on national television. FETTERMAN: “A woman credibly accused you of raping her. He will be remembered as an accused rapist. He's always been a dead man walking.” FOX NEWS HOST: “He choked up a couple of times during that announcement. Do you think he thinks he's the victim here?” FETTERMAN: “Oh, yeah, definitely. Bro, you will only be remembered as the accused rapist that got pushed out of your election. That's your legacy, bro. You are a guy that cheats on your wife. You're the guy that roughs up your ex-girlfriends. That's your legacy, bro.” Trial of Charlie Kirk's alleged shooter reveals testimony from trans roommate In the trial involving Charlie Kirk's September 10, 2025 assassination, suspected shooter, Tyler Robinson, faces several charges including aggravated murder, a capital offense, reports the New York Post. On July 9th, Robinson's preliminary hearing entered Day 4 in Provo, Utah, as prosecutors played redacted video testimony from his ex-lover, Lance Twiggs, a man who pretends to be a woman named Luna. Twiggs was Robinson's former roommate and romantic partner, who was granted "use immunity" for his statements to investigators. Twiggs revealed Robinson's alleged tearful confession after returning home from killing Charlie Kirk — hours before turning himself in. In never-before-seen footage, Twiggs told prosecutors on July 9th that Robinson was walking around their apartment before breaking down and declaring he “wishes he hadn't done it.” The video showed prosecutor Ryan McBride interviewing Robinson's partner, who described Robinson's alleged regret when they spoke in person on September 11 — one day after Kirk was killed. McBRIDE: “Did he talk about what he had done?” TWIGGS: “Didn't go into detail. I just asked him, in person, if what he said was true the night before, and he said it was. He started crying a little bit, and said he wishes he hadn't done it.” Proverbs 12:17 says, “An honest witness tells the truth, but a false witness tells lies.” As related texts were read aloud, Kirk's widow, Erika Kirk, was heard crying in court, according to the Daily Mail. The video and accompanying texts — shown for the first time in court during a preliminary hearing — offered the strongest picture yet of how the accused lone gunman allegedly confessed to the assassination. 31-year-old Charlie Kirk was fatally shot in the neck during a Turning Point USA event at Utah Valley University. Worldview listeners weigh in from Wisconsin and Florida Wyatt Dennison, age 10, in DeForest, Wisconsin, wrote me and said, “I really like to listen to your newscast during lunchtime every day. I enjoy hearing how the Church throughout the world is doing. I also appreciate your sharing Scripture related to the news stories. My mom homeschools my four siblings and me. We are grateful to hear current events from a Christian worldview.” And Samuel Card in Fellsmere, Florida, wrote, “I enjoy the brief, yet various topics that The Worldview team compiles. Sometimes I go back and delve deeper into a subject that catches my attention. My favorite part is how Scripture is given throughout, showing just how much it applies to every part of life. An added benefit: I have just enough time to listen during my morning walk to work!” 12 Worldview listeners gave $3,345 on Thursday And finally, on Thursday by 5:45pm Central, 12 Worldview listeners stepped up to the plate and invested their treasure to fund the six-member team behind The Worldview for another 365 days.

And we're grateful to God for an anonymous donor in Cranston, Rhode Island who gave $120, David and Kathy in Crestview, Florida who renewed their pledge for $50/month for another 12 months for a total gift of $600, and Justin in Bozeman, Montana who gave $2,000. Those 12 gifts add up to $3,345. Ready for our new grand total? Drum roll please. (drum roll sound effect) $21,043 (sound effect of people cheering) That means we need to raise $9,832 to hit our $30,875 goal by tonight at 12 midnight.

Today is day 189 and we are on the section on The Fourth Petition: "Give us this day our daily bread". 189. Having prayed first for God's glory, kingdom, and will, what do you now pray?

(Psalms 25:16–18; 34:8–10; 71; Lamentations 2:19; Matthew 7:7–11; Philippians 4:6) We will conclude today with Prayer 40.

If you are not willing to honor God outside your prayer time, why would you expect God to honor what you say during your prayer time” If you are not trying to honor God on Monday, and Tuesday, and all of the rest of our “unholy days,” why would we expect God to honor what we ask him on Sunday. Wouldn't that be kind of like … hypocrisy? Guys, God will not be “used.” God is no fool. God's hypocrisy detector is unfailingly accurate. So … when we pray, it's not about performance … it's not about manipulation … it will be gutted by hypocrisy … it's about seeing God as God, and seeing self as not God. That's where we're going to go in just a few minutes. But first, let's get ourselves ready to see the real Lord's Prayer … Guys, it's probably the most prayed prayer ever … at least for Jesus followers. Most of you probably know it by heart. You've probably prayed it hundreds of times, maybe … thousands for some of you old guys. But I'd still call it the most unprayed prayer ever … at least for us Jesus followers.

Our freedoms should never be taken for granted. In today's special Independence Day Celebration service, Pastor Jeff Ables discusses what the Bible says we should do with our freedoms. Prayed to accept Jesus? Congratulations!

It's Wednesday, June 17th, 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 European Christians faced 37 hate crimes in 11 countries Attacks against Christians in Europe surged last month. A report from the Observatory on Intolerance and Discrimination against Christians in Europe documented the incidents.  Christians faced 37 verified hate crimes in May across 11 European countries. These incidents included arson, vandalism, physical violence, theft, and disruption of worship services. Arson attacks against Christian properties were the highest on record this year. Germany saw the most anti-Christian hate crimes followed by Italy, France, Poland, and Ireland.  More Spanish Catholics leaving  the church A report from the Spanish government found the number of Catholics in the country is falling. Over 55 percent of the Spanish population identifies as Roman Catholic, down from 90 percent in the 1980s. Meanwhile, secularism is gaining in the historically Catholic country. Forty percent of the population identifies with no religion. Catholicism did see gains among young people. Forty-seven percent of people under 25 say they are Catholic, up from 31 percent in 2023. Oil prices dropped since Trump announced peace deal with Iran Oil prices fell to the lowest levels since March on Monday. This came after U.S. President Donald Trump announced a deal with Iran to end the war between the two countries.  Prices for Brent crude oil, the global benchmark, fell nearly four percent on Monday. West Texas Intermediate crude oil prices, the benchmark for North America, fell by over five percent.  Listen to comments from President Trump. TRUMP: “I think a lot of great things are going to happen in the Middle East right now. And very importantly, the oil is plummeting down, and the stock market is shooting up like a rocket today, like record kind of numbers. “The oil has taken its biggest plunge. And we're into the low numbers, not quite back yet, but we're getting close to the numbers we were before it all started. And the main thing is that Iran will not have a nuclear weapon. They fully agree to that.” 60 U.S. abortion mills closed since January 2025 Nearly 60 American abortion mills shut down since last January. The Trump administration withheld federal grant payments from 144 Planned Parenthood locations in 20 states last year. A report from the pro-abortion Kaiser Family Foundation found that 57 Planned Parenthood locations shut down over the last 18 months.  Churchgoing kids twice as likely to attend church as adults The Institute for Family Studies released a report entitled, “Passing The Torch: How Faith Moves Across Generations.” The study found that children from churchgoing families were twice as likely to attend church as adults compared to children from non-churchgoing families.  Healthy marriages also contributed to children practicing faith in adulthood.   Psalm 71:17-18 says, “O God, from my youth You have taught me, and I still proclaim Your wondrous deeds. So, even to old age and gray hairs, O God, do not forsake me, until I proclaim Your might to another generation, Your power to all those to come.” 58 percent approve of out-of-wedlock baby today vs. 70 percent in 2022 A new survey from Gallup found that Americans are becoming more conservative on certain social issues.  Eighty-three percent of U.S. adults believe birth control is morally acceptable. But that's down from a high of 92 percent in 2022. Fifty-eight percent believe having a baby outside of marriage is acceptable, down from 70 percent in 2022. And 49 percent support abortion, down from a high of 54 percent in 2024. German and Curaçao World Cup soccer players prayed together And finally, a recent World Cup game ended with players praying together on the pitch.  Over the weekend, the German national football team faced off against the team from Curaçao. The island nation in the Caribbean is the smallest nation to qualify for the World Cup.  Germany won handily with a score of seven to one. But that didn't stop players from both teams huddling together to pray after the game.  German midfielder Felix Nmecha said, “In the game we are opponents, but after the match we are all Christians and brothers. We simply said a little prayer together because we are all very grateful.” 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 says, “Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Wednesday, June 17th, in the year of our Lord 2026.

In this episode of Don't Miss This, Dave Butler and Grace Freeman study the books of Ruth and 1 Samuel and explore stories of covenant love, redemption, grief, and revelation. Through the story of Ruth, they focus on the kind of love that goes beyond obligation and expectation. After Naomi loses her husband and sons, Ruth refuses to leave her side and instead makes the covenant declaration, “whither thou goest, I will go.” Dave and Grace describe Ruth as a story of radical kindness and “love outside the lines,” showing how covenant relationships are ultimately rooted in loyalty, compassion, and caring for others. The episode also centers on Naomi's grief and redemption. Naomi returns to Bethlehem feeling completely empty, bitter, and forgotten after losing everything she once had. Yet throughout the story, God quietly begins restoring what was lost through the kindness of Ruth and Boaz. Dave explains the biblical role of a “redeemer” as someone who restores another person to belonging, safety, and hope, ultimately pointing to Jesus Christ as the Great Redeemer. Grace reflects on how healing often comes through the love and mercy of others, reminding listeners that God does not abandon people in their grief and that empty places in life can still become full again. The discussion then shifts to Hannah and Samuel in 1 Samuel, where Hannah's desperate prayer for a child becomes a powerful example of faithful pleading before God. After years of sorrow, Hannah pours out her soul to the Lord and eventually receives the miracle she longed for in the birth of Samuel. Grace especially highlights Hannah's willingness to dedicate Samuel back to God, showing a faith rooted in surrender and trust. The hosts also focus on young Samuel learning to recognize the voice of the Lord, emphasizing the hopeful phrase “Samuel did not yet know the Lord.” They teach that many people feel forgotten or believe God has never spoken to them, but Samuel's story reminds us that God continues calling patiently and persistently until His children learn to recognize His voice. Throughout the episode, Dave and Grace return again and again to the reminder that God remembers, speaks, restores, and helps His people. From Ruth's loyalty, to Naomi's redemption, to Hannah's prayers, to Samuel hearing the Lord's voice, every story points to a God who does not give up on His children. The episode closes with Samuel building an “Ebenezer,” a memorial stone of help, as a reminder that God had answered and delivered them before. Together, these chapters become an invitation to remember the moments God has spoken, rescued, redeemed, and carried us through difficult seasons, even when His voice or His timing felt far away.
