In June of 2002, a 14-year-old girl was taken from her bedroom in the middle of the night, from a quiet home in one of the safest neighborhoods in one of the safest cities in America. Her name was Elizabeth Smart. This case has endured for more than two decades, not only because of what happened to Elizabeth, but because of how it happened. It forces us to confront uncomfortable questions about trust, faith, and what happens when deeply held beliefs collide with someone willing to exploit them.Elizabeth wasn't held for hours or days. She was a prisoner for nine months, subjected to repeated trauma and torture that would have broken most adults. But Elizabeth's story is not just about what happened to her. It's also about survival and strength. It's about a young girl who would later turn the unimaginable into advocacy and support for victims of kidnapping and sexual violence. Try our coffee! - www.CriminalCoffeeCo.comBecome a Patreon member -- > https://www.patreon.com/CrimeWeeklyShop for your Crime Weekly gear here --> https://crimeweeklypodcast.com/shopYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/c/CrimeWeeklyPodcastWebsite: CrimeWeeklyPodcast.comInstagram: @CrimeWeeklyPodTwitter: @CrimeWeeklyPodFacebook: @CrimeWeeklyPodADS:1. https://www.MintMobile.com/CrimeWeekly - Get UNLIMITED premium wireless for just $15 a month!2. https://www.HelloFresh.com/CrimeWeekly10FM - Get 10 FREE meals and a FREE zwilling knife on your third box!3. https://www.Rula.com/CrimeWeekly - Connect with quality therapists TODAY!4. https://www.OneSkin.co/CrimeWeekly - Use code CRIMEWEEKLY for 15% off your order!

When does sincere advice turn into public humiliation? The Prophet ﷺ called the religion Naseehah. Yet today, that same principle is being misused. Some tear into others under the banner of "advice," while others stay silent about mistakes, afraid to speak up. In this lecture, Sheikh Ahmad Yare explains Ibn Rajab al-Hanbali's treatise Al-Farq Bayna An-Naseehah wa At-Ta'yeer, a work that feels more relevant than ever. There is a line. A razor-thin line between sincere concern for the Deen and ego disguised as righteousness. Between protecting people from error and quietly feeding pride, resentment, or the desire to shame. Ibn Rajab identified the difference with striking clarity. He exposed not only the outward signs, but the hidden intentions beneath them. Some people truly believe they're defending Islam. They quote the right scholars, use the right language, and sound sincere. Yet without realising it, they may be serving Shaytan. The uncomfortable question is this: How do you know you're not one of them? Watch to uncover what Ibn Rajab understood, and what every Muslim needs to reflect on today.

Understanding the Root of FearScripture: 2 Timothy 1:7 — “For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.”Fear is not always loud. Sometimes it whispers. Sometimes it disguises itself as caution, overthinking, or “being realistic.” But no matter how it appears, fear has one goal—to control your thinking and limit your trust in God.Accept Jesus Today: https://youtube.com/shorts/bIwAUlz7Kg4?si=BNOhv44iLWIR4eVJIf you would like to accept Jesus into your heart today, pray this simple prayer:****God, I have sinned against You. I believe that Jesus is Your Son, who died and rose for my sake. I ask you to forgive me for my sin. I place my trust in You for salvation. I receive you as my Lord and Savior. In Jesus' name, I am forgiven! Amen!"****Congratulations! You are now a child of the most high. John 1:12 says, But to all who did receive him, who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God. If you just prayed this prayer to receive Jesus Christ as your Savior, I welcome you to the family of God.

"Has the LORD indeed spoken only through Moses? Has he not spoken through us also?" Miriam and Aaron, Moses' own siblings, challenge his unique authority. They use his Cushite wife as a pretext, but their real complaint is against Moses' position. God Himself intervenes, and Miriam is struck with leprosy. In this chapter, we see that even family can become instruments of opposition to God's appointed servants. Yet we also see Moses' meekness and his intercession for his sister.  The Rev. Jacob Hercamp, pastor of Christ Lutheran Church in Noblesville, IN, joins the Rev. Dr. Phil Booe to study Numbers 12.  To learn more about Christ Lutheran, visit clc-in.org. The Book of Numbers is far more than an ancient census report. It is the story of a people learning to trust God in the wilderness, and failing, and finding grace anyway.  In this series, host Pastor Phil Booe and guest pastors walk through the Old Testament book of Numbers chapter by chapter. We follow Israel from Sinai toward the Promised Land, through grumbling and rebellion, fiery serpents and a talking donkey, faithless spies and faithful priests. The journey is hard, the failures are many, and God remains faithful to a faithless people.  These ancient accounts point us to Christ. The bronze serpent lifted on a pole points to the cross. The rock struck for water points to the one struck for us. The high priest whose death frees the manslayer points to the Great High Priest whose death sets us free forever. Join us as we discover that the wilderness has more to teach us than we ever expected.  Thy Strong Word, hosted by Rev. Dr. Phil Booe, pastor of St. John Lutheran Church of Luverne, MN, reveals the light of our salvation in Christ through study of God's Word, breaking our darkness with His redeeming light. Each weekday, two pastors fix our eyes on Jesus by considering Holy Scripture, verse by verse, in order to be strengthened in the Word and be equipped to faithfully serve in our daily vocations.

2026-02-23 | UPDATES #139 | March 2014. Moscow.

Paul travels to Jerusalem, staying with believers in several cities, where prophets tell him that problems will come in Jerusalem. So what is a prophet? Let's find out together as we read Acts 21:1-16 and Deuteronomy 13.#WhatIsAProphet #Acts21 #Deuteronomy13 #ProphetsDefined #BiblicalProphets #ProphecyInActs #PaulToJerusalem #TroubleAhead #ProphetsWarning #PropheticWord #LetsFindOutTogether #DailyDevotional #BibleStudy #BookOfActs #ActsOfTheApostles #PaulTheMissionary #PropheticMinistry #OldTestamentProphets

From the reading:Daily Practice: The Art of Stumbling GracefullyToday, when you inevitably fall short of your own expectations, whether you lose your temper, waste time, or struggle with your fast, do not turn away from God in shame. Instead, practice Immediate Return. Catch the moment of failure, pause, and present your weakness to God without excuses. Say, internally or aloud: "O Sustainer, this is my poverty. I bring my brokenness to Your generosity." Do not wallow in guilt. Imagine the laughter of the Prophet ﷺ, a laughter of expansive mercy, making your affair light. Let your mistake make you humble, soften your heart toward the mistakes of others, and then simply begin again.Journaling PromptThink of a time recently when you felt you deeply failed yourself or God. How did you react? Did you try to hide, or did you try to overcompensate? What would it look like to bring that exact failure directly to Al-Kareem (الكريم), asking Him to transform it into a moment of grace? Write down the honest words you would say.

Teaching of The Word of God with Clarity and Understanding! - Tuesday, February 24, 2026

Tucker Carlson has long been a standard-bearer for far-right views, such as the racist conspiracy theory known as the “great replacement.” He recently did a chatty interview with the white supremacist Nick Fuentes, an admirer of Hitler. And yet, Carlson started out as a respected, well-connected, albeit contrarian, political journalist. Jason Zengerle, who recently joined The New Yorker as a staff writer, talks with David Remnick about his new book, “Hated by All the Right People: Tucker Carlson and the Unraveling of the Conservative Mind.” They trace how Carlson's sense of personal resentment toward the establishment grew; how launching his own website radicalized his politics in the years before MAGA; and his political ambitions as a potential heir to Donald Trump. “I think, if Tucker Carlson concludes that J. D. Vance can't get elected President, maybe he has to do it himself,” Zengerle says. “So much of politics now is just being a media figure and being an entertainer. And Tucker does those things very well. . . . I think our politics are at a place where that really doesn't seem as outrageous as it would have even just a couple years ago.” This segment originally aired on January 23, 2025. The Political Scene draws on the reporting and analysis found in The New Yorker for lively conversations about the big questions in American politics.

Today’s Bible Verse: “If you do away with the yoke of oppression, with the pointing finger and malicious talk, and if you spend yourselves in behalf of the hungry and satisfy the needs of the oppressed, then your light will rise in the darkness, and your night will become like the noonday” — Isaiah 58:9–10 Isaiah 58:9–10 reveals a powerful promise: God responds when His people live with compassion. This passage reminds us that faith is not only about devotion, but about action—showing up for others in tangible, loving ways. Want to listen without ads?

An exploration of how Africa — especially East Africa — helped shape Arabia before the mission of the final Prophet ﷺ. This episode examines the honoured position of Hajar (RA), the deep ties of lineage and language between the two regions, and the campaigns of the Axumite Empire into Arabia that culminated in the decisive events of the Year of the Elephant.

The Prophet ﷺ said: every child of Adam is a sinner, and the best of sinners are those who make tawbah. We will slip. The question is never whether we fall — it's which path we take when we do.Last night we saw those two paths clearly: the path of Iblis, who blamed Allah and recruited others into his rebellion; and the prophetic path, demonstrated by Adam — take ownership, turn back, ask forgiveness.The Prophet ﷺ at Ta'ifNo one embodied the prophetic path more completely than the Prophet ﷺ himself. After his wife Khadijah and his uncle Abu Talib both died, he travelled to Ta'if seeking support for his mission. The people there not only rejected him — they paid children and slaves to throw rocks at him, chasing him out of the city. He fled until he found refuge in a garden, bleeding, exhausted.The angels of Ta'if came to him with an offer: say the word, and we will bring the surrounding mountains down upon them.He said no. Perhaps from their descendants, someone will accept Islam.And then he made dua — one of the most moving supplications in the seerah. O Allah, I submit to You my weakness, my lack of planning, my low standing among the people. Not a single word blaming the people of Ta'if. He turned the lens entirely on himself. He asked: perhaps it was my weakness. Perhaps my planning was insufficient.This from the man who could not have done it better. Yet he took responsibility — because blame leads nowhere. The only path forward is to work on what is within our control.This is the lesson from Adam's dua and the Prophet's dua after Ta'if: focus on your circle of control. Protect yourself and your family. Spend your Ramadan nights on what you can actually change. The tariff rate is not within your control. How you spend this blessed month is.One Tree Among MillionsBefore we move forward in the surah, there is a gem worth sitting with from the story of Adam in Jannah.Jannah — by definition a lush garden of millions of trees — had exactly one prohibition. One tree. Everything else was open.This is a mirror of how Allah has designed this world. The halal is vast. The haram is specific and limited. When Allah speaks about what is halal in the Quran, He speaks in sweeping terms: “O mankind, eat from what is halal and good on earth.” No list — because the list would be endless. When He speaks about what is haram, He lists it out, one by one, because it is few enough to enumerate.There is a principle in Islamic jurisprudence: al-aslu fil ashya' al-ibaha — the original ruling on all things is that they are permissible. You need evidence to declare something haram, not the other way around. We sometimes become more restrictive than the Quran itself, treating everything as forbidden until proven otherwise. That is not Islam. Allah is merciful, and everything He has made haram is genuinely harmful to us — and there is not much of it.Shaitan's trick is to make us fixate on the haram, to make us feel hemmed in, to make the life of a Muslim feel like a series of closed doors. But the reality is the opposite. The doors are almost all open. He just wants us staring at the one that isn't.Animosity — and the Iblis AgendaAllah commanded Adam, Hawa, and Iblis to descend from Jannah, and said there would be animosity between them. This animosity runs in multiple directions — not just between humans and Shaitan, but between humans themselves. Between races. Between classes. Between genders.When we look at gender wars today, Islam has no difficulty affirming the rights and dignity of women. In fact, much of what has historically restricted women came through culture, not religion. The Prophet's masjid had no barrier between men and women. The Prophet ﷺ gave lessons to mixed gatherings. Women asked questions — including sensitive ones — directly. The Ansar women were specifically praised for their courage in seeking knowledge. When a separate door was created for women in the Prophet's time, it was at the suggestion of Sayyidina Umar, so that women wouldn't be pushed and jostled as the community grew — it was for their comfort, not their exclusion. Sayyidina Umar, despite being famously protective of his own wife, allowed her to attend the masjid because the Prophet ﷺ had explicitly said: do not stop the believing women from coming to the masjid.The problem with certain strands of modern feminism is not the defence of women's rights — it's the framing of everything as a gender war. Men and women, from an Islamic perspective, are equal in spiritual standing and in the eyes of Allah, but created with different natures, different inclinations, different responsibilities. Not one above the other. Different — the way a table and a chair are different. Both necessary. Together, complete. If every chair insists on being a table, everyone ends up sitting on the floor.The same principle applies to class. Islam does not vilify wealth — it channels it. Zakat. Waqf. The oldest universities in the world — Qarawiyyin, Zaytuna, Al-Azhar — were sustained for centuries through endowments from wealthy Muslims who had the akhirah in mind. Al-Azhar offered free education, boarding, and meals for over a thousand years, funded entirely by waqf. Harvard today operates on $53 billion in endowments — the same principle, different name. The Islamic economic vision is not to make everyone equal — it is to ensure that the rich carry the poor, and that no one goes without. When zakat is properly collected and distributed, the mathematics work out. The system is not a class war. It is a covenant of care.All of this division — gender wars, class wars, race wars — is part of the Iblis agenda. He said there would be animosity. He is working to deepen it. Our job is to see through it.Tomorrow insha'Allah — Part 3 of Surah Al-A'raf begins. Allah speaks directly to the children of Adam.

“JESUS: The Ultimate Prophet”Mark 13Having recently completed our series “None Like Jesus” let's continue to “Behold Him” by embarking on a new study through the Gospel of Mark. Mark's Gospel is the shortest of the four Gospels and it is action-packed from start to finish – as evidenced by the word “immediately” used over 40 times. Mark wrote to believers, probably Roman believers, who were no strangers to persecution. And he wanted to disciple his readers to be strong in their faith by encouraging them to look to their Mighty Messiah, the Son of God, who remained steadfastly faithful even while becoming their Suffering Servant who died for them. Mark's Gospel is a call to all believers to fearlessly “Follow Jesus” because they can trust Him completely.

Through affirmations, self-love practices, and mindset shifts, women are shown how to become visible, vibrant, and romantically unstoppable at any stage of life.

"Maybe, it's not so much about being a male or a female of a certain biological age. Maybe, it's more about finding the person who makes life a little easier, a little more fun, a little more meaningful."
