Rescue workers begin the painstakingly slow process of airlifting cruise ship evacuees one by one from their lifeboats. But a typhoon has turned the Gulf of Alaska into a raging sea, and as they await rescue, many of the passengers fear they'll either drown or die of hypothermia. Just when rescuers think they've saved everyone, they realize they've overlooked one lifeboat. Amid rain and massive waves, and with darkness approaching, they worry they might never find it.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

What happens when a Christian sins? Does our behavior change our identity in Christ or can we even lose our salvation? In Episode 262 of The Hope Rescue Podcast, we continue our series on salvation by looking at what Scripture teaches about being born again, our identity in Adam versus our new identity in Christ, repentance, and what happens to our relationship with God when believers fall into sin. We'll also talk about why the security of our salvation never gives us an excuse to live however we want.

Send us Fan MailOn September 11, 1874, the John German family was journeying westward toward Colorado along the Smoky Hill River route in Kansas when they were violently ambushed by a band of 17 Cheyenne Dog Soldiers led by Medicine Water. In the surprise attack, John German, his wife Lydia, and three of their children—Rebecca Jane, Stephen, and Joanna—were killed and mutilated, while their wagon was set ablaze. Four surviving daughters—Catherine (17), Sophia (12), Julia (7), and Adelaide (5)—were taken captive by the raiding party and forced south into the Texas Panhandle, where the sisters were eventually separated among different Cheyenne bands.Following word of the massacre, General Nelson A. Miles launched a pursuit mission featuring scouts such as Bat Masterson to locate and rescue the abducted girls. On November 8, Lieutenant Frank Baldwin executed an aggressive surprise charge on Chief Gray Beard's winter camp near McClellan Creek, loading infantry into supply wagons to overrun the village. While the warriors fled, soldiers securing the abandoned site discovered young Julia and Adelaide hidden beneath a pile of buffalo robes. The two emaciated and traumatized young girls were successfully recovered, while search efforts continued for their older sisters.Continue the journey of The German Sisters: A Story of Survival with exclusive bonus chapters, in-depth historical profiles, and special companion podcast transcripts.

2 Peter 2:4-10aAugust 30, 2026Pastor Nick Shaffer

When tourists found an abandoned bicycle on a remote track in Australia's Great Sandy Desert, it triggered one of the strangest missing person searches in outback history — police, aircraft, and Aboriginal trackers combing the Kimberley for a man who had vanished without telling anyone where he was going. Twelve days in, the search was called off and his family was told he was almost certainly dead, so they hired a private American wilderness rescue team led by a man who insisted on being called Gunslinger. What none of them knew was that he had walked into the desert deliberately, on a spiritual quest, and had no idea anyone was searching for him at all. Forty-three days of starvation, dehydration and roughly 250 miles on foot later, a helicopter found him alive — and set off a fight that reached the Premier of Western Australia, while the man who led the rescue turned out to have invented his entire past. Twenty-five years on, one of the trackers who searched for him asked him for a single word, and what he said instead is still an uncomfortable part of this story.Timestamps: 00:00 Podcast Intro Setup00:30 Mud Water In The Desert02:22 Abandoned Bike Mystery03:18 No One Knew The Plan06:36 Spiritual Quest Revealed07:34 Search Begins With Trackers09:27 Media Frenzy And Survival Math10:28 Search Called Off Parents React11:57 Gunslinger Arrives Private Team15:06 Fresh Tracks And Desert Ordeal18:52 Help Sign And Found Alive21:49 News Crew Rescue Controversy25:10 Hospital Risks Refeeding27:22 Costs Rumors And Apology30:04 Gunslinger Exposed As Fraud33:27 The Tracker Story And Apology35:26 Final Reflections And OutroREFERENCESParke, Erin. Expanse: Nowhere Man.

Today's top stories, with context, in just 15 minutes. On today's podcast: 1) The US and Iran exchanged strikes as American forces hit an island in the Strait of Hormuz and Iran responded by launching attacks on the United Arab Emirates and Jordan. Iranian media said the country's authorities seized a bulk carrier near the port of Bandar Abbas and claimed an oil supertanker was hit by mines early on Monday. The incidents underline the high tensions between Washington and Tehran, with crude oil prices rising and several current and former US and Iranian officials expecting the conflict to drag on for months. 2) Bond investors are skeptical about speculation that Federal Reserve Chairman Kevin Warsh is poised to raise interest rates after his speech on Friday. Investors have doubts due to Warsh's past comments and actions, which have not always been clear, and are bracing for the risk that he keeps rates steady again. The reaction of the market will depend on upcoming economic data, including employment and inflation figures, with some investors warning that the Fed's credibility could be at risk if it does not follow through on expected rate hikes. 3) Nepal is racing to find thousands still missing after a glacial collapse unleashed catastrophic flooding along the border with China, with rising water levels and worsening weather threatening to hamper rescue efforts. More than 8,700 people have been rescued, with almost 20,000 security personnel mobilized, and at least 752 people have been confirmed dead, while over 3,000 are still unaccounted for. Rescue personnel have been told to exercise "utmost caution" as they work to retrieve bodies and provide relief services, with challenges mounting as days pass and weather conditions weigh on rescue efforts.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
