In Acts 11, Peter recounts how God broke down the barriers between Jews and Gentiles by pouring out the Holy Spirit on all who believe. What once seemed unclean or unreachable is now embraced by God's grace through Jesus Christ. This moment challenges the early church—and us—to rethink who belongs in the family of God. When God breaks barriers, He invites us to join Him in a mission that includes everyone, everywhere.

What do you do with a prisoner so unhinged that he's been kicked out of 120 prisons to date? How have Britain's most secure facilities dealt with a man who could explode in a frenzy of brutal violence and destruction at any moment? What happens to a man who spends more than 25 years in solitary confinement? And most importantly: now that Britain's most infamous inmate has rebranded as an artist, poet, and man of peace, will it ever be safe to let him out?This is the story of the larger-than-life British institution, who once stripped naked, greased himself in butter, and ran at a dozen armed guards – just for the love of the brawl.Exclusive bonus content:Wondery - Ad-free & ShortHandPatreon - Ad-free & Bonus EpisodesFollow us on social media:YouTubeTikTokInstagramVisit our website:WebsiteSources available on redhandedpodcast.comSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In this powerful episode of the Pastoral Thoughts Podcast, Pastor Jack sits down with Dale Morey, a former convict whose life was radically transformed by the grace of God. Dale shares his raw and honest story—growing up in brokenness, spending years in the penitentiary, and the miraculous way Christ saved him behind bars.But God's work didn't stop there. Today, Dale is a preacher called back into the jails and prisons, ministering to “his people”—the very men and women who sit where he once sat. His testimony is a living picture of redemption, reminding us that no one is beyond the reach of God's grace and that the gospel truly sets captives free.Whether you're struggling with your past, praying for a prodigal, or needing encouragement about God's power to change lives, Dale's story will inspire and challenge your faith.

Zach Cregger films. Sarah Watt, Jeremy Downing and William Chen discuss Weapons (2025) and Barbarian (2022). Our conversation begins with our experiences watching Barbarian for the first time and it quickly weaves into our reactions to watching Zach Cregger's latest film Barbarian. We make connections between the films and with Heretic (2024), Longlegs (2024), The Shining (1980), Carnivàle (2003-2005), Magnolia (1999), Prisoners (2013), and No Country For Old Men (2007). We praise the work of Georgina Campbell, Bill Skarsgård and Justin Long in Barbarian, and Julia Garner, Josh Brolin, Benadict Wong, Alden Ehrenreich, Toby Huss and Amy Madigan in Weapons.

1. El Salvador’s CECOT Mega-Prison for Gang Members Senator Cruz describes his recent visit to El Salvador, where he toured the CECOT (Centro de Confinamiento del Terrorismo) prison. The prison was built to house up to 40,000 of the country’s most dangerous gang members (MS-13, Barrio 18). Conditions: Cells hold 100 prisoners each, with bunk beds stacked four levels high. Prisoners are locked in cells 23 hours a day, with 1 hour allowed for exercise and religious instruction (both mandatory). No cellphones—blocked with jammers, with heavy fines for carriers if a call gets through. Monitored constantly by guards with machine guns and 24/7 lighting. Cruz compares it to U.S. prisons, noting it is much harsher and more controlled. He highlights the dramatic drop in El Salvador’s homicide rate (down ~98%), attributing it to President Bukele’s crackdown and mass incarceration of gang members. He even interviews an MS-13 member from Texas who admitted to murder in El Salvador and hinted at crimes in the U.S. The inmate expressed regret about his son possibly joining a gang but acknowledged that El Salvador’s new security situation made that less likely. 2. Panama Canal and Chinese Influence Cruz also traveled to Panama, where he toured the Panama Canal and met with government officials. He emphasizes Panama’s strategic importance to U.S. national security and commerce. Concerns raised: Chinese companies control key infrastructure near the canal, including ports, a bridge under construction, and a metro tunnel project. Cruz warns this could give China leverage to disrupt U.S. military and commercial shipping if conflict arises (e.g., over Taiwan). He pressed Panamanian officials to remove Chinese control and noted ongoing negotiations to transfer two Chinese-run ports to a U.S. consortium. He frames this as a matter of U.S.–Panama shared interest: Panama also risks economic and security harm if China can choke canal operations. Please Hit Subscribe to this podcast Right Now.

A Black transgender woman sued the Missouri Department of Corrections, claiming officers kept her isolated for six years based on a policy that singles out people with HIV. Missouri is now changing its policy as a result of that settlement.

A round-up of the main headlines in Sweden on August 28th, 2025. You can hear more reports on our homepage www.radiosweden.se, or in the app Sveriges Radio. Presenter/Producer: Kris Boswell

This Day in Maine for Thursday, August 28th, 2025.

On August 20, Missouri changed its policies around placing inmates with HIV in solitary confinement. The change stems from a lawsuit filed by Honesty Bishop: In 2015, after she was the target of an attempted sexual assault by her cellmate in a Missouri prison, prison officials deemed Bishop “sexually active” and kept her in isolation for more than 2,000 days. Bishop took her own life before the suit could conclude. Her family took it over after her death. STLPR reporter Kavahn Mansouri and Marshall Project reporter Katie Moore share their insights from reporting on the case, including their interviews with Bishop's family and analysis of Missouri's prison policies.

Briefing Document: The Power of Hope This document summarizes key themes and ideas from Joe Granieri's sermon, "Are You a Prisoner of Hope?", focusing on the multifaceted nature of biblical hope and its transformative power in a believer's life. Main Themes: Defining Biblical Hope: Hope is presented not as a wishful desire but as a "confident expectation of good" rooted in the absolute goodness of God. It's a forward-looking mindset that transcends past hurts and negative emotions. The Goodness of God as the Foundation of Hope: A foundational belief in God's unwavering goodness, even in the face of suffering (e.g., cancer, disease), is essential for hope. The sermon asserts that after Jesus' sacrifice, God is "never angry with Christians" and desires salvation for all. Hope, Faith, and Love: An Interconnected Trinity: These three concepts are presented as inseparable and mutually reinforcing. Hope is positioned as central, with faith expressing itself through love. Hope as an Anchor for the Soul: Biblical hope provides stability and steadfastness, particularly during life's storms and emotional turmoil, connecting believers directly to the presence of God. Hope's Practical Manifestations and Benefits: Hope actively impacts a believer's daily life, leading to joy, peace, amplified imagination, perseverance, and ultimately, victory over depression and adverse circumstances. Discipleship and Outward Focus: A disciple is defined by an outward focus, caring for others rather than being self-absorbed. This selfless love is a byproduct and expression of hope. The Role of Imagination and Experience: Hope is connected to the imagination, allowing believers to "see the invisible" and envision their God-given future. Christianity is described as an "experiential thing" where hope is cultivated through divine encounters. God's Restoration and Inheritance: Hope is sustained by the belief that God is a God of restoration, capable of returning what has been lost, even "twice as much" as seen in the story of Job. Believers have an "inheritance from God" encompassing healing, peace, joy, and every spiritual blessing. Overcoming Depression through Hope and Praise: Hope, coupled with praise, is presented as a powerful antidote to depression and anxiety, enabling believers to maintain a positive outlook even when circumstances are dire. The Example of Abraham: Abraham serves as a prime example of someone who, "contrary to hope" (natural hope), believed in God's supernatural power, demonstrating unwavering faith despite challenging circumstances and personal weaknesses. Most Important Ideas and Facts: Definition of Hope: "Hope looks to the future. It does not let your past affect you. Hope doesn't allow negative emotions or past hurts to defeat it. If you have hope, then you have a positive expectation of good." The Absolute Goodness of God: "If you do not believe in the absolute goodness of God all the time, then you cannot have hope." This includes believing God does not cause negative events like cancer or earthquakes. Post-Calvary Perspective of God's Wrath: "The net result of that is God is never angry with Christians. He's never angry with us." Jesus took all the wrath and judgment. Hope's Connection to Imagination: "Hope is the New Testament word for imagination." It allows us to "see the invisible" and envision our future. Hope as an Anchor: "The hope we have is an anchor to your soul. That's your emotions... sure and steadfast which enters the presence behind the veil." This anchor connects our emotional state to the "fullness of joy" in God's presence. God's Will for Salvation: "God's will is that every person would be born again and go to heaven. Hell was not made for man." Discipleship vs. Believer: Moving from being a "believer to being a disciple" involves becoming "not self-focused and not self-absorbed or self-entitled," but caring about others. Faith without Love is Worthless: "Paul said, 'Faith without love is worthless. It doesn't have any any positive effect in your life.'" God's Word Creates Hope: "God's word creates hope in our heart... so that through the patience and comfort of the scriptures we might have hope." Hope Defeats Depression: David's example in Psalms 42 and 43 demonstrates how to overcome being "cast down" by "Hope in God" and "yet praise him." Living Effortlessly: Drawing an analogy to eagles and lilies of the field, the sermon suggests God wants believers to "live effortlessly" by receiving from Him and flowing in the Spirit. Abraham's Faith and Hope: Abraham "contrary to hope" (natural circumstances) "in hope in the supernatural power of God, he believed." God looked at Abraham through "faith righteousness," overlooking his faults. Our Inheritance in Christ: Believers have a "living hope" through Jesus' resurrection, leading to an "inheritance... incorruptible, undefiled, that does not fade away, reserved in heaven for you." This inheritance includes "soundness of mind, healing for your body, peace, joy, everything that he died for, it's even blessing and prosperity." Prosperity of the Soul: "As your soul prospers, how does it prosper? You grow in the grace and knowledge of Jesus. You learn about your imagination. You learn about your identity. You learn about the finished work of Christ. You learn about the absolute goodness of God." In essence, Granieri's message emphasizes that biblical hope is an active, confident, and transformative force rooted in God's character, experienced through faith and love, and manifested in a life of purpose, joy, and peace, regardless of earthly circumstances. It is a choice to believe in God's unfailing goodness and His ability to fulfill His promises, both in this life and the next.

When Yang Rongli, a pastor of Linfen Golden Lampstand Church in Shanxi Province, China, was sentenced to 15 years in prison, she responded with words of celebration. “I got the top reward!” she said, considering it an honor to suffer for Christ and referring to the fact that her prison sentence was longer than other church members. She and her husband, Pastor Wang Xiaoguang, remain in prison. Listen this week as Bob Fu, former prisoner for Christ in China and the founder and president of China Aid Association, shares updates from persecuted Christians in China, including Pastor John Cao, Pastor Wang Yi, and other Chinese Christians. The Chinese Communist Party continues to pursue absolute government control of churches and other religious institutions in China. Pastors and church leaders face long prison sentences for “fraud” when their church collects tithes and offerings, or “illegal border crossing” if they travel to meet with fellow believers outside China. Despite being prevented from leaving China following the completion of his seven-year prison sentence, Pastor John Cao continues serving the Lord through daily prayer meetings. He's even baptized new believers—despite Communist guards required to escort him everywhere he goes! Bob Fu, author of God's Double Agent, reports on recent church raids in China, including arrests of children attending Vacation Bible School. The Communist Party forbids any religious outreach or training for children under age 18. With two years remaining in his nine-year sentence, Pastor Wang Yi has composed books in his head during his time in prison, as well as praying daily through a list of more than 1,000 prayer requests. You can write letters of encouragement to Wang Yi and other Christian prisoners in China, Eritrea, Iran and other nations at www.PrisonerAlert.com. There are a few seats remaining at VOM's From the Field 2025 National Conference. The conference will take place in Bartlesville, Oklahoma September 25-27. Attendees will hear from Bob Fu and other persecuted Christians—including several former VOM Radio guests—during the conference. Learn more and register online today.
