In this bonus episode of LIVE FREE, Pastors Josh Howerton, Russell Johnson, Ryan Visconti, and Josh McPherson explore the biblical relationship between Christianity and patriotism. Is loving one's country Christian nationalism or idolatry? They unpack how believers are not only allowed but called to actively engage in politics and culture. Now is the time to advocate for righteousness, turn back to God, and walk in bold obedience. Drawing on biblical examples and historical context, they challenge the idea that Christians should withdraw from political involvement and instead encourage faithful engagement to influence society for good.

Spoiler alert: this week we're analyzing the Twilight Zone episode “Back There.” Peter Corrigan, played by actor Russell Johnson, is about to find out the answer to a rather complex question: can a person go back in time and change the future? As Corrigan finds himself suddenly back in 1865 and trying to convince the people around him that President Abraham Lincoln is in grave danger, he begins to learn that the question is not so simple. In this Twilight Zone episode, we're going to try and break down how this theory of time travel actually works; we'll dive into whether or not someone can come back from time traveling psychologically the same as when they left; and I'll reveal my moment of awe, a look into the mind of John Wilkes Booth through his own journal. So, grab your keys, and let's open up this door to the fifth dimension. As always, spoiler alert. If you have note seen the episode, go check it out and then come back here for the analysis.

Una noche cualquiera, mientras la ciudad dormía confiada tras sus puertas cerradas, un depredador acechaba en silencio. Era capaz de escalar muros y romper la paz de cualquier hogar en solo unos minutos. Nadie estaba a salvo; nadie podía imaginar que el horror podía colarse por una ventana y arrebatarlo todo en cuestión de minutos. El miedo se instaló en cada edificio, en cada pasillo, en cada susurro de la madrugada. Así comenzó la caza de un asesino tan meticuloso como invisible, un fantasma urbano cuya verdadera identidad tardó años en salir a la luz. Cada nuevo crimen era un mensaje aterrador: el peligro podía estar en cualquier parte, y el monstruo podía ser cualquiera. Lo que estás a punto de descubrir no es solo la crónica de una serie de crímenes, sino un descenso a lo más profundo de la oscuridad humana. Aquí, el miedo, la obsesión y la ausencia total de remordimiento se entrelazan en una historia imposible de olvidar. Prepárate: tras cada detalle, tras cada testimonio, se esconde una verdad que te perseguirá mucho después de terminar este relato.

It's Thursday, August 7th, A.D. 2025. 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 and Adam McManus Pakistani Christian died after years of neglect in prison International Christian Concern reports that a 25-year-old Christian man in Pakistan died last Thursday after years of neglect in prison. When he was 16, Nabeel Masih was accused of posting an image on Facebook, allegedly insulting an Islamic holy site. Police deleted the post, erasing any evidence of what he actually posted. He was sentenced to 10 years in prison, becoming the youngest person convicted of blasphemy against Islam in the country. Pakistan's Supreme Court granted Masih bail in 2020. However, he had already suffered years of neglect, abuse, and lack of medical care, leading to his recent death. Psalm 116:15 says, “Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of His saints.” Billy Graham Association helping defend European Christians The Billy Graham Evangelistic Association is extending its legal defense fund to Christians across Europe. Evangelist Franklin Graham started the fund for defending religious freedom in the United Kingdom. This came after he won multiple lawsuits against British venues that cancelled their events. The fund has grown to $1.3 million. Franklin Graham told Fox News Digital, “We took the damages that we won through BGEA's court cases in the U.K., and put those funds into the Billy Graham Defense Fund — a new ‘war chest' to help other Christians in Europe who are threatened or intimidated into silence and not expressing their faith.” Army Sergeant shot 5 co-workers on Georgia Army base Bad news from a U.S. Army base in Georgia. LUBAS: “An active duty soldier assigned to Fort Stewart, Georgia, shot and wounded five of his fellow soldiers here on Fort Stewart. Thankfully, all are in stable condition and all are expected to recover.” That was Brigadier General John Lubas on Wednesday afternoon. The soldier shooter has been identified as Army Sergeant Quornelius Radford, reports The U.S. Sun. Radford, age 28, is in custody after he allegedly opened fire at his workplace at the 2nd Armored Brigade Combat Team area just before 11:00 am. The base was briefly locked down. Police said they have not learned more about his motive. Here's the good news. LUBAS: “I would also like to thank the brave soldiers who immediately intervened and subdued the shooter. These soldiers, without a doubt, prevented further casualties.” Planned Parenthood closes only two abortion mills in Louisiana Planned Parenthood is closing its only two locations in Louisiana. The abortion giant operated in the state for 40 years previously. Ben Clapper, the executive director of Louisiana Right to Life, told LifeNews, “Effective September 30th, Planned Parenthood will close both its New Orleans and Baton Rouge facilities. What a powerful victory for life. … To each of you who have prayed, volunteered, given, and stood with us—thank you!” With the two closures, Planned Parenthood has closed a total of 40 abortion mills this year. U.S. Health Dept cancels $500 million of mRNA vaccine projects The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services announced Tuesday that it is cancelling $500 million worth of mRNA vaccine development projects. The department said it will focus instead on “platforms with stronger safety records and transparent clinical and manufacturing data practices.” Listen to comments from HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. KENNEDY: “Most of these shots are for flu or COVID, but as the pandemic showed us, mRNA vaccines don't perform well against viruses that infect the upper respiratory tract. … “After reviewing the science and consulting top experts at NIH and FDA, HHS has determined that mRNA technology poses more risk than benefits for these respiratory viruses.” 28% of school boards referenced DEI in second quarter The school tracking website Burbio reports that the prevalence of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion terms in district school board meetings is down. The Trump administration has prohibited federal funding to recipients that engage in unlawful discrimination practices. This includes DEI programs. During the second quarter of this year, only 28% of school boards referenced such DEI terms, down from 38% last year. Gunman opened fire at a Seattle church event And finally, an unidentified gunman opened fire on a church event in Seattle last Thursday, July 31st. Tragically, he killed 28-year-old LeBron Givaun near the steps of the church as he arrived with his family at the young adult service at Pursuit Church. He had just gotten married a week earlier and had converted to Christianity just this year. A GoFundMe campaign for LeBron's family has already raised over $70,000. The unidentified suspect reportedly shot the victim in the chest before fleeing the scene in a white Hyundai Elantra with black wheels and a damaged passenger window, reports The Daily. It's not the first time the church has faced attacks. Rioters assaulted church members at a worship event earlier this year. Listen to comments from Russell Johnson, the pastor of Pursuit Church. JOHNSON: “The thugs who committed this crime were trying to send a message: no church is safe, no house of worship is sacred. The enemy would love for us to back down and hide, but that is simply not who we are. “And although the blood of LeBron is still stained on the front steps of our building, I'm here today to tell you there is a blood that speaks a better word. And it is the precious blood of Jesus that covers us today and provides forgiveness, protection, blessing, and healing.” Revelation 12:11 says the church overcame the Devil “by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, and they did not love their lives to the death.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Thursday, August 7th, in the year of our Lord 2025.

"Gilligan's Island" is a sitcom that aired on CBS from 1964-1967. The show follows the comedic adventures of seven castaways who become stranded on a deserted island after a tropical storm wrecks their boat, the S.S. Minnow. Much of the show's humor is driven from the contrast between the characters' personalities and their adaptation (or lack thereof) to island life. Although it was originally met with mixed reviews from critics, Gilligan's Island gained a massive fan following through syndication, becoming a pop culture icon. Its characters and theme song became instantly recognizable. Does this classic hold up or is this one better lost at sea? Listen as the S1E1 boys deep dive the show's pilot episode, "Two on a Raft".
