Podcasts about samaritan

Our hearts are always looking for something to satisfy them. In a world built on instant gratification, it’s easy to assume that the next experience, achievement, relationship, or possession will finally make us feel full. But this devotional gently challenges that pursuit by asking a deeper question: have you truly found satisfaction in Jesus—and do you believe He is enough? The devotional points out that many things promise to satisfy, yet so often they leave us empty. Even good things can become substitutes when we expect them to fill a God-sized longing. Only Jesus can meet the deepest needs of the soul. The author highlights the Samaritan woman as an example of someone searching in all the wrong places until she encountered Christ. Once Jesus met her need, she was changed—so changed that she ran to share Him with everyone else. True satisfaction doesn’t just quiet our craving; it transforms our lives and reorders what we desire. Satisfaction also involves perspective. Comparison can quietly poison contentment, making us resent what others have and overlook what God is already doing in our lives. The devotional reminds us that God provides daily bread, sustains us, protects us, and gives new mercies each morning. When we remember the cost of the cross and the gift of salvation, gratitude grows—and that gratitude becomes a pathway to contentment. This prayer is an invitation to return your focus to Jesus, especially if you’ve been feeling empty, restless, or distracted by what the world offers. Even when prayers remain unanswered and life feels incomplete, you can trust that God is still good, still present, and still satisfying. Jesus doesn’t merely add something to your life—He becomes the One who fills it. Main Takeaways The world offers many substitutes for satisfaction, but only Jesus can truly fill the heart. Contentment begins with believing Jesus is enough, even when life feels lacking. Comparison steals joy; gratitude restores perspective and peace. God faithfully provides, sustains, and shows mercy day by day. Satisfaction in Jesus can remain steady even while you’re still waiting on unanswered prayers. Today’s Bible Verse: For he satisfies the thirsty and fills the hungry with good things. - Psalm 107:9 Your Daily Prayer Here is a brief excerpt from today’s prayer: “Help me to keep my gaze and focus fixed on you always… Help me to be completely satisfied in you, no matter what prayers remain unanswered in my life.” You can listen to the full prayer here or read the devotional at the links below.

Pastor Zack unpacks Jesus' encounter with the Samaritan woman at the well, revealing how our deepest thirst isn't physical—but spiritual. Through the lens of John 4, we're invited to examine what we've been drinking from, exchange counterfeit sources for the living water found only in Jesus, and surrender anew to the One who alone can truly satisfy our souls.

Many people know God is loving and kind—but struggle to feel or trust that love in their most wounded places. For those impacted by trauma, religious abuse, legalism, or deep loss, God can feel distant, harsh, or unsafe. In this moving conversation, host Jennifer Slattery sits down with author Sherri Hughes Gregg to explore how Jesus consistently reveals Himself as tender, compassionate, and near to the brokenhearted. Drawing from Sherri’s book The Compassionate Christ, her personal journey through divorce and cancer, and powerful Gospel narratives—including the leper, the grieving widow, and the Samaritan woman—this episode gently challenges fear-based views of God and invites listeners into healing truth. Together, Jennifer and Sherri model how we can wrestle respectfully with Scripture, release shame-laden interpretations, and encounter Christ as He truly is: the One who comforts, restores dignity, and brings beauty from ashes. Resource referenced: The Compassionate Christ: Draw Near to the Risen Savior (A 31-Day Devotional Retelling of Stories from the Life of Jesus) Discussion/Reflective Questions: When you think about God’s posture toward you, what emotions surface most easily—fear, comfort, suspicion, hope? Why do you think that is? How have past experiences (family, church culture, trauma, or suffering) shaped the way you interpret Jesus’ actions and words in Scripture? Which Gospel story mentioned in this episode—the leper, the widow, or the Samaritan woman—do you most relate to right now? What about it resonates with your current season? Are there moments when suffering or disappointment has caused old fears or shame-based beliefs about God to resurface? How have you responded to those thoughts? What would it look like to intentionally observe how Jesus interacts with wounded people in the Gospels, without filtering His actions through fear or self-condemnation? Where might God be inviting you to receive comfort before resolution—to trust His nearness even while you wait for healing or answers? What is one lie about God’s character you feel prompted to gently release—and one truth about His compassion you want to sit with this week?

We all know the story of the Good Samaritan. Most of us learned it in Sunday school as a lesson about being kind, helping others, and doing the right thing.But Jesus wasn't just giving us another moral rule to follow.In this Sunday School Remix episode, I take a deeper look at Luke 10:25–37 and the moment that prompted Jesus to tell this parable in the first place. A lawyer—someone who knew all the religious rules—asked Jesus a familiar question: “Who is my neighbor?” Luke tells us he asked it hoping to justify himself.That detail matters.Because this story isn't about earning goodness or proving you're right. It's about how easily religious rules can distract us from mercy—and how God keeps placing opportunities for compassion directly in our path.Why Jesus tells this story in response to self-justificationHow religious rules can become barriers to compassionWhy the priest and Levite walk by—and why that made sense religiouslyWhy making the Samaritan the hero was so shockingHow humility is the starting point for real compassionWhat it looks like to notice the needs God places right in front of usThe Good Samaritan isn't a story about being a better rule-follower. It's an invitation to live a life shaped by mercy—again and again.

How loud is your thanks?

1 Timothy 1:3-17 As I urged you when I went into Macedonia, stay there in Ephesus so that you may command certain people not to teach false doctrines any longer  4 or to devote themselves to myths and endless genealogies. Such things promote controversial speculations rather than advancing God's work—which is by faith.  5 The goal of this command is love, which comes from a pure heart and a good conscience and a sincere faith. 6 Some have departed from these and have turned to meaningless talk.  New Year.  Same Code. How should we treat people who believe differently?   In regards to those who both align and do not align themselves with our beliefs, we practice: Love 1 Timothy 1:5 The goal of this command is love, which comes from a pure heart and a good conscience and a sincere faith.   Generosity Matthew 6:2-4 2 "So when you give to the needy, do not announce it with trumpets, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and on the streets, to be honored by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full. 3 But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, 4 so that your giving may be in secret. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you. Service 1 Peter 4:10-11 Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God's grace in its various forms. 11 If anyone speaks, they should do so as one who speaks the very words of God. If anyone serves, they should do so with the strength God provides, so that in all things God may be praised through Jesus Christ. To him be the glory and the power for ever and ever. Amen. Hospitality Hebrews 13:1-2 Keep on loving one another as brothers and sisters. 2 Do not forget to show hospitality to strangers, for by so doing some people have shown hospitality to angels without knowing it.   Mercy  Luke 10:25-37 On one occasion an expert in the law stood up to test Jesus. "Teacher," he asked, "what must I do to inherit eternal life?" 26 "What is written in the Law?" he replied. "How do you read it?" 27 He answered, "'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind'; and, 'Love your neighbor as yourself.'" 28 "You have answered correctly," Jesus replied. "Do this and you will live." 29 But he wanted to justify himself, so he asked Jesus, "And who is my neighbor?" 30 In reply Jesus said: "A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, when he was attacked by robbers. They stripped him of his clothes, beat him and went away, leaving him half dead.  31 A priest happened to be going down the same road, and when he saw the man, he passed by on the other side.  32 So too, a Levite, when he came to the place and saw him, passed by on the other side.  33 But a Samaritan, as he traveled, came where the man was; and when he saw him, he took pity on him.  34 He went to him and bandaged his wounds, pouring on oil and wine. Then he put the man on his own donkey, brought him to an inn and took care of him.  35 The next day he took out two denarii and gave them to the innkeeper. 'Look after him,' he said, 'and when I return, I will reimburse you for any extra expense you may have.' 36 "Which of these three do you think was a neighbor to the man who fell into the hands of robbers?" 37 The expert in the law replied, "The one who had mercy on him." Jesus told him, "Go and do likewise."

Acts 8 is a pivotal moment in the advance of the gospel of Jesus Christ. The first reality it reveals is the sovereignty of God to bring his kingdom and do his will on earth as it is in heaven. Today we draw great encouragement from the account of the evangelism of the scattered church and the conversation of Samaritans to Christ because it leads us to trust in our purposeful and all powerful God. Grace Community Church exists to build spiritually healthy people for ministry in the world. One of the ways that we pursue this mission is by gathering each Sunday for corporate worship, prayer, and biblical teaching. The corporate nature of this gathering is both edifying to the believer and a witness of God's grace to the world. Sermon speaker is Scott Patty unless otherwise noted.

Anger on the streets of Minneapolis over the fatal shooting of a mother by an ICE agent. The president and his supporters say it was self-defense... But others are calling it murder. And we're learning more today about the woman who was shot to death. Renee Good was 37 years old. She recently moved to Minnesota to start a new life with her 6-year-old son. Now her death is sparking a national outcry. Plus, two good Samaritans had to cross a raging river to rescue a German Shepherd... So, you'd think they'd be getting the hero treatment... But now comes shocking news that one of them has ended up under arrest. And if cutting back on alcohol was your New Year's resolution...you are not alone. Dry January is booming in popularity. And to meet the demand...there are more mocktail choices now than ever.

Pastor Mike focuses on the purpose of Jesus's first coming as contrasted with the misunderstanding of His disciples. The context is drawn from Luke 9:51-56, where Jesus, resolutely set on going to Jerusalem, sends messengers ahead to a Samaritan village. He urges listeners to adopt Jesus's attitude of compassion and mercy toward enemies and unbelievers, focusing on salvation rather than vengeance, which is reserved for the second coming and God's discretion.

This episode contains description of addiction, eating disorders and discussion of suicide. Our guest today is the pioneering comedian, actor and activist Margaret Cho. She began performing comedy as a teenager, opening for Jerry Seinfeld at just 14, before becoming one of the most influential stand-ups of her generation. Now in her 50s, Margaret reflects in this episode on the cancellation of her groundbreaking sitcom, All-American Girl, and the surreal "miscalculations" of a network that hired consultants to ensure she was "doing Asian right". She speaks candidly about the "mind f***" of being told she was "too fat to play herself", which triggered a dangerous spiral into disordered eating, 90s diet drugs and eventual kidney failure. She opens up about a suicidal near-death experience that she was initially too afraid to admit even to herself - and about the intervention by friends that finally led her to sobriety. This conversation explores shame, rage and the life-saving importance of humour. Because, as Margaret says, sometimes laughter can be the thing that keeps you breathing. ✨ IN THIS EPISODE: 00:00 Introduction 04:37 Childhood Reflections 06:59 Political and Social Commentary 10:43 The Sitcom Experience 18:35 Body Image and Health Struggles 26:13 Legacy and Influence 26:54 The Struggle with Diet Culture 28:34 Embarrassing Moments on Stage 32:10 Family Influence on Weight Issues 33:22 Seeking Help and Therapy 34:05 Childhood Abuse and Its Impact 37:27 Battling Drug and Alcohol Addiction 43:09 Intervention and Recovery 46:51 Finding Hope and Happiness

Worship with us 9 + 11am 390 N 400 E Bountiful, UT 84010 https://flourishinggrace.org/plan-your-visit Sermon: One Returned | Luke 17:11–19 In this message from Luke 17:11–19, we encounter a powerful and searching story as Jesus heals ten lepers while traveling toward Jerusalem. All ten are cleansed. Only one returns. This passage invites us to examine not only what Jesus gives, but how we respond to him. As Jesus passes through the border region between Samaria and Galilee, he meets ten men whose lives have been defined by isolation, suffering, and loss. Bound together by shared pain despite deep cultural and religious divisions, they cry out from a distance, asking Jesus for mercy. Jesus responds by sending them to the priests, and as they go, they are cleansed. Their obedience is real, and the healing is complete. They receive exactly what they asked for. But the story does not end there. One man, a Samaritan, recognizes the significance of what has happened. He turns back, praising God with a loud voice, and falls at Jesus' feet in gratitude and worship. While all ten were cleansed, only one is described as being made whole. Jesus' words to him are striking: “Rise and go your way; your faith has made you well.” This healing is not only physical, but spiritual. It is the difference between receiving a restored life and receiving new life. This sermon presses us to consider an important distinction. It is possible to experience the goodness of God, to receive his gifts, and yet return to life as it was before. The nine did nothing overtly wrong. They were obedient. They were healed. They went on their way. But the one who returned understood the source of his healing and surrendered himself fully to Jesus. The message challenges us to reflect honestly on our own posture toward Christ. Are we content with being helped by Jesus, or have we fallen at his feet in surrender? Are we hearers of the word without allowing it to shape our lives? Do we limit following Jesus to an hour on Sunday, or does our faith carry into the ordinary and difficult moments of the week? Is there evidence of transformation, not perfection, but fruit that flows from abiding in him? This is not a call to earn God's love. Scripture is clear that Christ died for us while we were still sinners. Rather, it is an invitation to receive salvation fully, not merely relief or improvement, but new life rooted in relationship with Jesus. Gratitude alone is not the same as surrender. The gospel calls us beyond thank you into trust, obedience, and transformation. As a church, this message also calls us to look past the many good gifts God has given and continue pursuing the Giver himself. Growth, joy, and blessing are meaningful, but they are never the destination. The heart of faith is found at the feet of Jesus. Whether you are exploring faith for the first time or have followed Jesus for many years, this message invites reflection. What would it look like for you to turn back? What would surrender look like in your life today? Jesus is a gentle and faithful Savior, and he welcomes all who come to him. Scripture Reading: Luke 17:11–19 Speaker: Pastor Benjer McVeigh Church: Flourishing Grace Church We pray this message encourages you to look beyond the gifts and find life at the feet of Jesus.

What does it mean to follow Jesus as the trailblazer of our faith? In this sermon from Covenant Church Doylestown, Larry Walker walks through John 4 and the powerful encounter between Jesus and the Samaritan woman at the well.

Archetypes carry light and shadow attributes that show up in your daily life. The Companion brings loyalty until it betrays confidences or loses identity in codependency. The Samaritan helps people you'd ignore until they're recording good deeds for social media validation. Servants give freely until they're carrying people with functional legs, building resentment. Mentors refine character until they stomp on students who surpass them. The Avenger balances justice until righteousness becomes cancel culture. Shadow work isn't optional because rainbow-and-bunnies healers miss half the human experience.

In this message from Luke 10:25–37, Jesus responds to a lawyer who seeks to justify himself by asking, “Who is my neighbor?” Rather than presenting a plan of salvation, Christ exposes the heart of the question and illustrates what true obedience to the law looks like through the parable of the Good Samaritan.As Jesus is on His way to Jerusalem, He teaches that love toward God is inseparable from love toward others. The Samaritan's actions reveal compassion that flows from the Spirit, while the priest and Levite demonstrate that religious position and knowledge alone do not produce mercy.This sermon emphasizes that spiritual fruit cannot be manufactured by the flesh. Just as an apple tree cannot produce oranges, an unregenerate heart cannot produce the fruit of the Spirit. Doing good unto others is not the cause of life, but the evidence of it.Scripture Text: Luke 10:25–37Key Verse: Galatians 6:10Church: Vestavia Primitive Baptist ChurchService Date: January 4, 2026

Sermons Archive RSS John 4:1-26 Therefore, when the Lord knew that the Pharisees had heard that Jesus made and baptized more disciples than John 2 (though Jesus Himself did not baptize, but His disciples), 3 He left Judea and departed again to Galilee. 4 But He needed to go through Samaria.5 So He came to a city of Samaria which is called Sychar, near the plot of ground that Jacob gave to his son Joseph. 6 Now Jacob's well was there. Jesus therefore, being wearied from His journey, sat thus by the well. It was about the sixth hour.7 A woman of Samaria came to draw water. Jesus said to her, “Give Me a drink.” 8 For His disciples had gone away into the city to buy food.9 Then the woman of Samaria said to Him, “How is it that You, being a Jew, ask a drink from me, a Samaritan woman?” For Jews have no dealings with Samaritans.10 Jesus answered and said to her, “If you knew the gift of God, and who it is who says to you, ‘Give Me a drink,' you would have asked Him, and He would have given you living water.”11 The woman said to Him, “Sir, You have nothing to draw with, and the well is deep. Where then do You get that living water? 12 Are You greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well, and drank from it himself, as well as his sons and his livestock?”13 Jesus answered and said to her, “Whoever drinks of this water will thirst again, 14 but whoever drinks of the water that I shall give him will never thirst. But the water that I shall give him will become in him a fountain of water springing up into everlasting life.”15 The woman said to Him, “Sir, give me this water, that I may not thirst, nor come here to draw.”16 Jesus said to her, “Go, call your husband, and come here.”17 The woman answered and said, “I have no husband.”Jesus said to her, “You have well said, ‘I have no husband,' 18 for you have had five husbands, and the one whom you now have is not your husband; in that you spoke truly.”19 The woman said to Him, “Sir, I perceive that You are a prophet. 20 Our fathers worshiped on this mountain, and you Jews say that in Jerusalem is the place where one ought to worship.”21 Jesus said to her, “Woman, believe Me, the hour is coming when you will neither on this mountain, nor in Jerusalem, worship the Father. 22 You worship what you do not know; we know what we worship, for salvation is of the Jews. 23 But the hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth; for the Father is seeking such to worship Him. 24 God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth.”25 The woman said to Him, “I know that Messiah is coming” (who is called Christ). “When He comes, He will tell us all things.”26 Jesus said to her, “I who speak to you am He.”Matthew 15:7-9 Hypocrites! Well did Isaiah prophesy about you, saying:8 ‘These people draw near to Me with their mouth,And honor Me with their lips,But their heart is far from Me.9 And in vain they worship Me,Teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.' ”Psalm 34:1 I will bless the Lord at all times;His praise shall continually be in my mouth. Sermon Discussion Questions:Why did the Jews harbor animosity towards the Samaritans?What does it mean to worship in Spirit?What does it mean to worship in truth?What did Jesus mean by "I who speak to you am He."? “At last, the woman obtained an answer to one of her first questions: Are you greater than our father Jacob? When the answer came, it completely converted her soul. The very moment that this woman expressed any desire for the Messiah, He at once revealed Himself to her.” — JC Ryle

In this week's POSC Podcast, Pastor Putnam launches a faith-stretching vision for 2026 with a clear and compelling mandate: Just Reach One—because one is worth it. Drawing from Luke 15 and other Gospel accounts, this message centers on the heart of Jesus for individuals, reminding us that crowds never distracted Him from the value of a single soul. With conviction and pastoral clarity, Pastor Putnam challenges the modern obsession with numbers, popularity, and platforms, emphasizing that Jesus was never impressed by crowds—He was moved by people. From the lost sheep in the wilderness, to the Samaritan woman at the well, to the demon-possessed man delivered after a stormy crossing, Scripture repeatedly reveals a Savior who stops, goes out of His way, and pays any cost to reach just one person. This episode calls the church beyond Sunday services and programs into lifestyle evangelism—a daily, personal obedience flowing out of a surrendered relationship with Jesus Christ. Evangelism, Pastor Putnam explains, is not a title, a microphone, or a method; its availability. While only God can save, heal, and transform, every believer has a responsibility to go, to love, and to reach. As heaven celebrates one repentant sinner, this message invites each listener to align their priorities with heaven's joy. Whether it's a neighbor, coworker, family member, or stranger, God is still asking His people to leave the 99 and pursue the one who matters deeply to Him. This sermon will stir your faith, challenge your comfort, and refocus your mission—because the world is reached one conversation, one prayer, and one act of obedience at a time. One is worth it.

Jesus is clear that no amount of good works will be enough to earn eternal life. Only a perfect person is able to inherit eternal life. The bad news for us is that we are not perfect. The good news is Christ lived a perfect life and he is willing to give us his perfection if we repent and put our trust in him. Jesus also teaches the lawyer the kind of love that he requires of his followers, which is sacrificial love. That is how every Christian ought to be loving the people around them, just like the good Samaritan.

As The Traitors returned last night, we are giving you another chance to hear what happened when Johnny met The Traitors season 2 winner Harry Clark last year.Harry opens up about what perfection means to him, his experiences in the army during his late teenage years, and how his mental health was affected in 2022 when he lost his sense of purpose, turning to prayer to find guidance.

As we wrap up 2025... Doctors are warning of a super flu. There's already a massive outbreak in England... Now it's here. We spoke with a woman who not only has the super flu... But she's also 20 weeks pregnant. And snow and icy roads have made driving treacherous. A husband and wife ended up losing control of their S-U-V... Finding themselves stuck... Dangling above a ravine. It could have ended in disaster if not for good Samaritans who came to the rescue by forming a human chain. Plus, there's still no sign of the teenager who walked out of her home on Christmas Eve in her pajama bottoms and never came home. While cops desperately look for clues... There are also citizen sleuths on the case... Sharing every tidbit of information they can find. And Marjorie Taylor Green, who is wrapping up her time in congress, has not only turned against her one-time close ally... President Trump... Now she's taking on the women surrounding the president. Calling them out for the way they dress... And the over-the-top cosmetic procedures she says they're getting.

If you're stepping into a new year hoping things will finally be different, you're not alone. But here's the truth most of us were never taught: real transformation doesn't happen through self-help, white-knuckling your goals, or trying to reinvent yourself. Real transformation begins with God's love—not your effort. In today's episode, I'm sharing: Why New Year's resolutions tend to collapse under their own weight A personal story of how my own plans for 2025 were upended—and how God redirected me toward a fresh start instead of another do-over How the Samaritan woman's story reveals the difference between starting over and receiving a fresh start rooted in God's love What it looks like to release the pressure to fix yourself and let God lead you into lasting change If you're craving a new beginning in 2026—one that's grounded in God, not reinvention—this episode will help you see what's possible when you let God love you into transformation. ✨ Want support as you step into a fresh start?

In John 4, Jesus intentionally meets a Samaritan woman at a well and offers her something no other source ever could, living water that never runs dry. In this message, Pastor Andrew Fish explores how the source that we draw from matters. If we are relying on other sources then we will end up always thirsty but if we rely on the living water then we will find true satisfaction and life.  As we go into 2026, we must leave behind temporary sources that never satisfy and draw from the true source of Life in Jesus through the Holy Spirit.

//The Wire//2300Z December 23, 2025////ROUTINE////BLUF: MEXICAN NAVY AIRCRAFT CRASHES IN GALVESTON, 2X SURVIVORS RESCUED BY GOOD SAMARITANS. INVESTIGATION INTO BROWN UNIVERSITY CONTINUES.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE----- -International Events-Caribbean: Yesterday the Pentagon announced the shelling of another narco-submarine, which was sunk in the Eastern Pacific Ocean. One individual was reported killed during the strike, though a full Battle Damage Assessment (BDA) has not been provided due to the nature of the submersible craft making it hard to count home many people were really on board.-HomeFront-Texas: Last night a Mexican Navy aircraft transporting medical patients crashed in the waters off the coast of Galveston while attempting to land. The flight was carrying medical patients who were to undergo surgery at the Shriner's Children's Hospital in Galveston. So far, of the 8x people onboard the aircraft 5x fatalities have been confirmed, with 2x survivors and one individual remaining missing.Analyst Comment: The accident appears to be the result of poor visibility at the time of the crash, and the fact that anyone survived at all is a sheer miracle. One woman was rescued from the wreckage by a good Samaritan who responded to the crash site, jumped in the water, and pulled her from the airframe. Other volunteers also helped recover everyone they could from the debris before it sank. The status of the survivors is not clear, however all were in extremely serious condition when they were rescued from the aircraft.Pennsylvania: This afternoon an explosion was reported at the Silverlake Nursing Home in Bristol. A mass casualty situation was declared as a significant blast destroyed part of the structure. Analyst Comment: At the time of this report, this is a developing situation and the casualty count is not yet known. The cause of the blast is also not confirmed, however initial assessments suspect this may have been the result of a natural gas leak.-----END TEARLINE-----Analyst Comments: As the investigation into the Brown University shooting has continued, more information has come to light that clarifies some details of the incident. The Chief of the Brown University campus Police Department has been placed on leave as testimony indicates the shooter was observed acting suspiciously within the Barus and Holley building in the weeks leading up to the mass shooting. Derek Lisi, the custodian who works within the engineering building complex, stated that he reported the shooter to security over a dozen times for acting suspiciously. His tips were ignored and no investigation was launched.Regarding the lack of security camera footage, some useful information has actually arisen from a journalist during a press conference. The press conferences involving Chief Perez, AG Neronha, and others have become regularly disastrous to the point that even journalists are becoming hostile toward how poorly this is being handled. During one press conference, a journalist started asking a question which rapidly became more of a tirade, which accused the officials of something very specific. The journalist stated that the reason for certain cameras not functioning is because they were actually taken down completely at the request of a few dozen different activist groups, who wrote letters to Brown University demanding the school protect illegal immigrant students.So far this has not been confirmed as it's very unlikely for Brown University to incriminate themselves now (the press conferences have definitely become a "plead the fifth" kind of arrangement at this point). However, if this is true, this would line up with the initial suspicions expressed during the early moments after the shooting. Removing security cameras for social justice reasons has always been a main theory from the very start, and now it's looking

We've made it to the final week of our Bible study through The Wild Invitation, and wow — what a ride through the book of Acts! This week, we're reflecting on how the early church's boldness and reliance on the Holy Spirit weren't just for then — they're for us today, too. We talk about living as modern-day witnesses of Jesus, navigating seasons of quiet obedience, and how to follow the Spirit's lead in our everyday lives (even if that means striking up a convo at a pizza shop). We also open up about feeling inspired and overwhelmed — how sometimes the mission feels big when we're weary or in a harder season. But Acts reminds us: God uses the ordinary. The story's not over. We're invited in. It's not just their story — it's ours too. Let's say yes to this wild, bold, Spirit-led life.

Today Allie dives into the showdown between Candace Owens and TPUSA. She goes through fallible claims made by Candace and also highlights the response of Blake Neff, producer of "The Charlie Kirk Show." He has proposed a live stream on December 15 to debunk Candace's assassination theories. Truth requires facts, not secret sources or innuendos. Allie is also joined by two guests — Alliance Defending Freedom's Erin Hawley and First Choice Women's Resource Centers Executive Director Aimee Huber — who reveal the New Jersey attorney general's vicious subpoena attack on pro-life ministries. And to wrap things up, liberals rage over Pantone naming Cloud Dancer as 2026's Color of the Year. Tune in for biblical discernment, courage, and unapologetic defense of life and truth.
