Animal shelters in Tampa Bay have too many pets and not enough space. What's leading to the overcapacity — especially for cats? And what can be done to reduce the number of stray and abandoned animals?Also, eco anxiety is a “chronic fear of environmental doom.” And it can be bad for your health — and the environment. Do you have it?We also revisit a report from WUSF's Jessica Meszaros about how climate change is taught in Florida schools.Follow us on social media:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/WUSFInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/wusfpublicmedia/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCsN1ZItTKcJ4AGsBIni3

A plan to keep parking free at San Diego's beaches and bays just cleared its first hurdle. With extreme heat today, SDUSD and Poway Unified are shifting outdoor activities to morning hours. The crowding situation at the San Diego Humane Society just got even worse. NBC7's Steven Luke has those stories and more, plus your forecast from chief meteorologist Sheena Parveen on August 27, 2026.

Chicago's Inspector General just confirmed what many suspected: Mayor Brandon Johnson's city burned through $640 million in taxpayer money on illegal migrants over just two years — housing, care, and grants for 46,282 people who crossed the border illegally. Johnson isn't apologizing. He's bragging about it.Meanwhile, Chicago Public Schools are staring down a $732 million budget deficit. Enrollment is cratering, academic proficiency is near the floor, and COVID relief money has run dry. The city is closing schools, the budget director just resigned, and the mayor's response is to talk about "stability in me." Steve Forbes called the whole thing what it is: virtue signaling on the backs of kids who can barely read.Pastor Corey Brooks put it plainly in a recent op-ed — take care of your own first. The South Side and West Side communities that voted Johnson in are watching their neighborhood schools collapse while city hall celebrates spending nearly a billion dollars on people who came here illegally. That's the deal they got.The voters chose this. Brandon Johnson was the progressive pick, and now the bill is coming due.

https://wels2.blob.core.windows.net/tmb-ehv/03-0809db.mp3 Listen to Bible reading Through My Bible Yr 03 – August 09 Hosea 11 – 12 God's Love for Israel Hosea 11 1 When Israel was a child, I loved him, and out of Egypt I called my son. 2 The more I called to them,     the more they went away from me. [1]     They kept sacrificing to the Baals     and burning incense to idols. 3 Yet I was the one who taught Ephraim to walk.     I took them in my arms, [2]     but they did not realize that it was I who healed them. 4 I drew them with cords suitable for a man, [3] with ropes of love.     For them I became like someone who lifts a yoke off their neck,     and I bent down to feed them. 5 They will not [4] return into the land of Egypt.     Instead, an Assyrian will be their king,     because they refused to repent. 6 The sword will slash against their cities.     It will destroy the bars of their gates,     and it will devour them because of their plans. 7 My people are determined to turn away from me.     Though they call him the Most High, he certainly will not exalt them. 8 How can I give you up, Ephraim?     How can I hand you over, Israel?     How can I make you like Admah?     How can I treat you like Zeboiim? [5]     My heart is changed inside me.     All my compassion is stirred up. 9 I will not carry out my burning anger.     I will not destroy Ephraim again,     because I am God, and not man, the Holy One among you.     I will not enter a city. [6] 10 They will follow the Lord.     He will roar like a lion.     Yes, he will roar, and his children will come trembling from the west. 11 They will come trembling like a bird from Egypt,     and like a dove from the land of Assyria.     I will settle them in their houses, declares the Lord. Israel Must Repent 12 Ephraim surrounds me with falsehood,     and the house of Israel with deceit.     Judah still strays from [7] God,     even from the Holy One, who is faithful. [8] Hosea 12 1 Ephraim feeds on wind and chases the east wind all day.     He multiplies lies and violence.     They make a treaty with Assyria,     and olive oil is carried to Egypt. 2 The Lord has a case against Judah.     He will deal with Jacob according to his ways.     According to his deeds he will repay him. 3 In the womb Jacob grasped his brother by the heel,     and when he was a grown man, he struggled with God. 4 He wrestled with the Angel and prevailed.     He wept and sought his favor.     He found him at Bethel, and there he spoke with him, [9] 5 namely, with the Lord, the God of Armies.     The Lord is the name by which he is to be remembered! 6 So return to your God.     Observe mercy and justice,     and wait for your God continually. 7 A merchant has fraudulent scales in his hand.     He loves to defraud others. 8 Ephraim said, “Surely I have become rich.     I have secured wealth for myself.     Among all my possessions no one will find anything that makes me guilty of sin.” 9 But I have been the Lord your God from the time you left the land of Egypt.     I will make you dwell in tents again,     as in the days of the appointed festival. [10] 10 I have spoken to the prophets.     I have given numerous visions.     I taught meaningful lessons through the prophets. 11 Since Gilead is wicked,     it is certain that they are worthless.     In Gilgal they sacrifice bulls.     Yes, their altars are like piles of stones in the furrows of a field. 12 Jacob fled to the territory of Aram.     Israel worked as a servant to get a wife,     and for a wife, he took care of sheep. 13 By a prophet, the Lord brought Israel out of Egypt,     and by a prophet he took care of Israel. 14 Ephraim has provoked bitter anger.     Therefore his Lord will leave him bloodied by his guilt     and bring his disgrace back on him. Footnotes Hosea 11:2 A variant reading is the more they called them, the more they went away from them. Hosea 11:3 The text of the pronouns in this verse is uncertain. The translation follows the Greek Old Testament. Hosea 11:4 Literally cords of mankind. The words translated man and love have homonyms meaning leather, so there may be a play on words here. Hosea 11:5 Not is missing from some manuscripts. Hosea 11:8 Admah and Zeboiim were daughter cities of Sodom and Gomorrah. Hosea 11:9 Or come in wrath. The Hebrew is difficult. Hosea 11:12 Literally wanders with. Translations disagree whether the term is negative or positive. Hosea 11:12 English verse 11:12 is verse 12:1 in Hebrew.

One Year Bible Podcast: Join Hunter and Heather Barnes on the Daily Radio Bible, a daily Bible‑in‑a‑year podcast with 20‑minute Scripture readings, Christ‑centered devotion, and guided prayer.This daily Bible reading and devotional invites you to live as a citizen of Jesus' kingdom, reconciled, renewed, and deeply loved. TODAY'S EPISODE: Introduction Welcome to the August 5th episode of Daily Radio Bible. On this 218th day of our journey through the Scriptures, Hunter invites listeners from around the globe to gather and warm their hearts by the fire of God's love. In today's readings, we witness King Josiah's remarkable reforms in 2 Kings and 2 Chronicles, including his renewal of the covenant, the purging of idolatry, and a historic celebration of Passover. We then turn to John 7, where Jesus reveals himself as the source of living water during the Festival of Shelters, declaring the fulfillment of prophetic promises and inviting all who are thirsty to come to him. Join Hunter as we explore these transformative moments in Scripture and enter a time of prayer, reflection, and encouragement, remembering that no matter where you are, you are loved. TODAY'S DEVOTION: Rivers of living water. As the Festival of Shelters reached its height, the priests poured out water on the altar, a symbol drawn from the prophets: a promise that one day, God would pour out his Spirit on all people, quenching the thirsty and reviving the dry and weary. In the context of this ancient ritual, Jesus stands up and declares with authority and longing: "Anyone who is thirsty may come to me. Anyone who believes in me may come and drink, for the Scriptures declare rivers of living water will flow from his heart." All the anticipation, all the longing embedded in the festival's water ceremony—Jesus claims it is fulfilled in him. He does not come to make a name for himself, or to satisfy the expectations of his brothers or the crowds longing for fame or power. His purpose is deeper—his mission is to pour out the Spirit, the true living water, into the lives of all who would come to him. Jesus is concerned with what the Father desires: to seek, to save, to invite humanity into the fellowship he shares with the Father and the Spirit. This river is not merely for our refreshment. Christ's living water flows through us and into the world—to heal, to bring hope, to bear fruit. If we receive him, if we trust that the Scriptures find their meaning in him, we find that he, in turn, finds meaning in us—and not just us, but all people. The Spirit he pours out is abundant and free, life that cannot be constrained or manufactured, but must be received. Let us come to Jesus, the source of living water. Let us allow his Spirit to flow in and through us, bearing fruit and offering life to a thirsty world. Let us not seek to be noticed or praised, but let our lives be channels of mercy, compassion, and blessing—evidence of his abiding presence and love. That is a prayer I have for my own soul. That's a prayer that I have for my family, for my wife, my daughters, my son. And that's a prayer that I have for you. May it be so. TODAY'S PRAYERS: Lord God Almighty and everlasting father you have brought us in safety to this new day preserve us with your Mighty power that we might not fall into sin or be overcome by adversity. And in all we do, direct us to the fulfilling of your purpose  through Jesus Christ Our Lord amen.   Oh God you have made of one blood all the peoples of the earth and sent your blessed son to preach peace to those who are far and those who are near. Grant that people everywhere may seek after you, and find you. Bring the nations into your fold, pour out your Spirit on all flesh, and hasten the coming of your kingdom through Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen.   And now Lord,  make me an instrument of your peace.  Where there is hatred let me sow love. Where there is injury, pardon.  Where there is doubt, faith. Where there is despair, hope.  Where there is darkness, light.  And where there is sadness,  Joy.  Oh Lord grant that I might not seek to be consoled as to console. To be understood as to understand, to be loved as to love.  For it is in the giving that we receive, in the pardoning that we are pardoned, it is in the dying that we are born unto eternal life.  Amen And now as our Lord has taught us we are bold to pray... Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom come thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven, give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our tresspasses as we forgive those who trespass against us, and lead us not unto temptation, but deliver us from evil, for thine is the Kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen. Loving God, we give you thanks for restoring us in your image. And nourishing us with spiritual food, now send us forth as forgiven people, healed and renewed, that we may proclaim your love to the world, and continue in the risen life of Christ.  Amen.  OUR WEBSITE: www.dailyradiobible.com We are reading through the New Living Translation.   Leave us a voicemail HERE: https://www.speakpipe.com/dailyradiobible Subscribe to us at YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@Dailyradiobible/featured OTHER PODCASTS: Listen with Apple Podcast DAILY BIBLE FOR KIDS DAILY PSALMS DAILY PROVERBS DAILY LECTIONARY DAILY CHRONOLOGICAL  

In this segment for Homelessness Week, Women’s Community Shelters CEO Annabelle Daniel joined Jason Matthews on 4BC Breakfast to discuss the heart-breaking reality where three out of four women escaping domestic violence are turned away due to overflowing crisis accommodation. She detailed the organisation’s 13-year history supporting over 10,000 women and children, outlined demand spikes following major sporting events, Christmas, and school terms, and called on the community - including men - to support their work or seek help via 1800 RESPECT.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Vivos (also known as The Vivos Group) is a California-based company that built underground shelters designed to withstand future disasters and life-extinction catastrophes.[1] Robert Vicino founded the company. Shelters 10,000-square-foot (0.093 ha) have been completed in Indiana, 575 bunkers each 2,150 square feet across a former military base in[2] South Dakota, and others are in the process of construction.[3] As of September 2022, Vicino stated that the company has approximately 100,000 members, of whom more than 1,000 have bought space in one or more of the Vivos shelters.[4]

"We do own and operate aircraft, but we also put a lot of energy into telling the story and that's really important because that's what's going to provide transformation in this space, because people will hear about what we do think it's a cool mission. We inspire people. They'll think twice about buying an animal. They'll open up their homes and hearts to foster. And that's really what we are. We're change agents. We're creating transformation for alternatives to euthanizing animals." – Michael Schneider   Every year in the United States, nearly a million dogs and cats are euthanized, and many of them could be saved but aren't because they're in the wrong place. Shelters in some parts of the country are overflowing, while others have families waiting to adopt. Sometimes the difference between life and death is simply getting an animal from one place to another. That's where Michael Schneider comes in. Michael is the founder and CEO of Pilots to the Rescue, a nonprofit that combines pilots, specially equipped aircraft and ground transport to move animals from overcrowded shelters, disaster zones and emergency situations to places where they have a second chance. Since launching the organization in 2015, they have transported more than 7000 animals, built a network of more than 1000 volunteer pilots, and expanded their work beyond dogs and cats to include endangered wolves, sea turtles, disaster response and even the occasional federally protected rescue mission. Michael shares what he's learned after a decade of witnessing the shelter crisis firsthand and explains why storytelling saves more lives than any single flight. https://www.pilotstotherescue.org/

On the night of August 14, 2003, the power went out across the northeastern United States and most of Ontario, Canada. Not a neighborhood. Not a city block. A cascading failure swept across the grid, and fifty million people were left without power. No air conditioning. No television. And no streetlights…

Pet Protect and Connect: Using AI to Simplify Pet Adoption for Shelters, Rescues and AdoptersHost Julie Marty Pearson welcomes Liz Adams to The Story of My Pet podcast to discuss Liz's longtime background in animal rescue and her career in healthcare technology and communications, which inspired her to create Pet Protect and Connect. Liz explains how shelters and rescues often lack time and modern tools, and how difficult or inconsistent adoption processes can deter good adopters while still risking poor matches and returns. Her platform, Pet Protect and Connect, focuses first on helping rescues by organizing and ranking applications using weighted criteria and an AI-driven learning component that highlights top positives/negatives and produces match scores, while keeping humans in control of final decisions. The tool can also help adopters by auto-populating repeat applications via a plugin and keeping qualified adopters in the system for future matches. Listeners can learn more or request demos on the Pet Protect and Connect Website or via the app and website waitlist. Follow them on Facebook and Instagram.

On November 22, 1971, RAF rescuers spot a young woman crawling across the Cairngorm Plateau after two nights in a relentless blizzard. With only a few words, she points them toward a group still missing somewhere in the white. What they were about to uncover would become one of the deadliest mountaineering disasters in British history. In this episode, we break down the deceptive terrain of the Cairngorms, the controversial shelter that changed decision-making on the mountain, and how a school trip of inexperienced teenagers and young leaders found themselves fighting for survival in a featureless whiteout.

In Isaiah 8, the prophet describes a striking paradox. The same God who becomes a sanctuary and refuge for Isaiah becomes a stone of stumbling, a rock of offense, a snare, and a trap for many in Israel.Why the difference?In this episode, we explore the truth that God Himself does not change. Instead, the way we experience Him is often shaped by the condition we are in when we encounter Him. Isaiah presents life as a journey—a way in which we are walking. While Isaiah sought the Lord, much of Israel was moving in the opposite direction. As they drifted farther from God, His intervention became painful. He became a stumbling stone in their path, confronting their direction and exposing their resistance. For some, that resistance would ultimately lead to captivity, fulfilling Isaiah's warning that God would become a snare and a trap.We then follow this imagery into 1 Peter 2:4–9, where Peter applies Isaiah's words directly to Jesus. Christ is the living stone chosen by God. Yet for those who are not fully persuaded by the gospel, He remains a stone of stumbling and a rock of offense—a scandal. They are drawn to Him and pushed away by Him at the same time. They sense there is something uniquely compelling about Jesus, yet they struggle to surrender to what He demands.Many people know what it feels like to be stuck in that place. They cannot move forward, yet they cannot walk away. The experience can be frustrating, painful, and disorienting. But Peter points to a way forward. The answer is not to avoid the stone but to surrender to Him. The One who causes stumbling can become the foundation upon which a new life is built.Join us as we explore Isaiah's vision, Peter's interpretation, and what it means for Jesus to be both the Rock that shelters and the Rock that scandalizes—calling us out of darkness and into His marvelous light.Key Passages: Isaiah 8:11–151 Peter 2:4-9Explainer⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Video⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ on how to use ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.biblehub.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ and ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.blueletterbible.org⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Leave us a question or comment at our ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠website podcast page⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.

Even as the Las Vegas Valley's largest nonprofit animal shelter has routinely dealt with overcrowding, Henderson's shelter recently reported a live release of 91 percent so far this year. So what's making the difference – and can the rest of the city replicate that success? Yvette Fernandez, Regional Reporter in the Mountain West News Bureau for Nevada Public Radio, and executive producer Layla Muhammad join host Jesse Merrick to find out. Plus, the team discusses why NV Energy executives are drawing protests amid surging energy costs, and whether new life for a downtown motel could spell the start of a wider revitalization.

Robin Devine has spent her life knocking on doors, sometimes literally, and finding opportunity on the other side. Raised by her grandmother, Robin learned early that hard work, honesty, courage, and instinct could take you places credentials could not. As a little girl, she sold lilacs and rhubarb door to door. As a young woman, she walked into an advertising agency with no portfolio, no experience, and talked her way into a job. By twenty-three, she was selling Checker automobiles out of a broken-down garage, turning old taxis into reverse status symbols. What follows is a remarkable conversation about grit, reinvention, and seeing value where others see nothing.  Her energy and passion are contagious as she shares her life story from advertising to automobiles, from Expo 86 to Canadian Tire, from Russian generals to Bestselling Books, Food banks, Shelters, and a Canada Watch she proudly markets with proceeds helping those in need. This episode is timeless. It is about agency and refusing to wait for permission.     You can also help support Canada's Food Banks and Shelters, by purchasing a special edition Canadian Watch.  https://www.timeisticking.ca/

Noah's ark provides a type and a shadow for us of the Lord Jesus Christ.

New York City is legally required to provide shelter to anyone who needs it. But a new WNYC and Gothamist investigation finds that the Tillary Street Women's Shelter in Downtown Brooklyn has become a place where violence, overdoses and chaos are part of daily life. WNYC and Gothamist editor Andrew Giambrone joins us to discuss months of reporting that uncovered more than 2,000 calls to 911 in a single year, hundreds of fights, and growing concerns from residents who say they did not feel safe inside one of the city's largest shelters for women with mental illness and addiction.

This week Nick Khiroya shares a message exploring how Jesus fulfills our deepest needs as the "living water," satisfying our spiritual thirst through a personal relationship and the empowerment of the Holy Spirit. Using the biblical context of Jesus' encounters at the well and the Festival of Shelters, it illustrates that God intentionally meets us in our driest moments to transform us into vessels that overflow with His life to others.

"What's better than bringing home a life you saved instead of a souvenir that just sits on a shelf?" This episode is sponsored-in-part by Maddie's Fund, OcuTrap, and The Community Cat Clinic. What does it take to transform a country's approach to stray animal care? In this inspiring episode of the Community Cats Podcast, host Stacy LeBaron reconnects with Julie Kelley—entrepreneur, philanthropist, and founder of Let's Be Smart Greece—to explore how one vision is reshaping feline welfare across borders. Julie shares the story behind her move from the United States to Greece and how witnessing widespread stray populations sparked a mission rooted in education, community collaboration, and sustainable solutions. Through Let's Be Smart, Julie has developed a multifaceted model that blends Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR), municipality partnerships, and innovative "Smart Yards" to create safer, more structured environments for community cats. Listeners will get an inside look at Julie's unique shelter concept—a home-like villa where cats live freely alongside volunteers from around the world. This approach not only improves feline well-being but also accelerates socialization and adoption success. Julie also discusses the organization's growing "adoption vacation" initiative, helping tourists responsibly bring Greek cats home after proper medical preparation. The conversation dives into recent legislative progress in Greece, the importance of youth education, and the evolving role of municipalities in animal welfare. Julie's long-term vision? A global shift toward more humane, integrated shelter models that treat animals as family—not inventory. Whether you're involved in rescue, advocacy, or simply love cats, this episode offers a powerful reminder: meaningful change happens when compassion meets strategy.

Deborah Wondercheck didn't start the Arts and Learning Conservatory(ALC) because she thought it was a good idea. She started it because she'd lived the alternative, and she knew exactly what kids lose when the arts get cut.Today, ALC serves roughly 3,700 students annually across nearly 50 schools in Southern California. Since 2004, more than 35,000 kids have encountered the arts through the organization for the first time. It started with 21 kids, a string ensemble, and a few cast members doubling as nuns.In this episode of the Charity Charge Show, Deborah walks through the personal story that led to Arts and Learning Conservatory, how the organization has grown from a garage operation to a facility with a 200-seat theater, and what advice she has for nonprofit leaders still figuring out the early stages.

Festival of Shelters | PARTY PEOPLE | Zach Chronley by Akouo Church

It's Wednesday, March 25th, A.D. 2026. 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 Timothy Reed Canadian law prohibits Christian public officials from wearing crosses The Supreme Court of Canada began hearings in a case involving religious freedom this week. At issue is Quebec's Bill 21. The secularist law bans public officials from displaying religious symbols. For example, it would bar judges from wearing crosses. The measure has been in place in the Canadian province since 2019 and has survived multiple challenges.   Derek Ross, executive director of the Christian Legal Fellowship, said, “Bill 21 purports to be advancing religious neutrality, but it is promoting the exact opposite: a public square which is hostile, not neutral, toward religion. This is unacceptable.” Canada euthanizes more humans than dogs in shelters Euthanasia continues to skyrocket in Canada. Tragically, more humans than dogs in shelters are being euthanized in the country, and it's not even close.  More than 5% of all deaths in the country are attributed to Medical Assistance in Dying. And it's the fifth leading cause of death in Canada. Doctors regularly offer and push for euthanasia, even for those who are not terminally ill.  Wesley Smith, writing for the National Review, reports that 16,000 Canadians were killed by euthanasia in 2025.   According to the Canadian Veterinary Journal, nearly 7,000 Canadian dogs in shelters are euthanized annually. The New American reports that, “In Ontario alone, 219 people received Medical Assistance in Dying within a day of requesting it in 2023, with 30% dying the same day.” Proverbs 8:35 speaks of wisdom: “For whoever finds me finds life, and obtains favor from the Lord; but he who sins against me wrongs his own soul; all those who hate me love death.” Canadian young people are more open to Christianity Here's some good news from Canada.  Young people there may be more open to religion, according to a new report supported by the Canadian Bible Society.  Notably, the decline of religiosity among Canadians aged 18-34 appears to be stalling. Young adults are just as likely if not more likely to read a religious text or attend religious services compared to 2017. The study said, “This paper offers Canadian churches reason to believe there is some level of openness among young people to the Christian faith and church attendance.” Maine ballot initiative would ban males from girls' sports In the United States, a Maine ballot initiative is seeking to ban males from competing in girls' sports statewide, reports WBUR. More than 80,000 citizens have signed the petition to keep males out of girls sports, and the effort has been endorsed by United States Senator Susan Collins and Maine's former Governor Paul LePage, both of whom are Republican. Leyland Streiff, the petitioner for Protect Girls Sports in Maine, told FOX News that the organization wanted to leave no margin for error in the petitioning process. STREIFF: “We got 14,000 more than the threshold. The validation, though, is that we need over 67,000 validated signatures. We have already validated over 76,000. “And that is indicative of, I think, how Maine thinks about this. Mainers are common sense people. They understand that males should not be in female spaces. And I think that this is indicative of how the vote will go in November. Anniversary of Patrick Henry's “Give Me Liberty or Give Me Death” speech And finally, this week is the anniversary of when Patrick Henry delivered his famous “Give Me Liberty or Give Me Death” speech. The American statesman and Founding Father delivered the speech at St. John's Church in Richmond, Virginia on March 23, 1775. Listen to the conclusion of Patrick Henry's speech in this re-enactment on the 240th anniversary. PATRICK: “It is now already too late to retire from the contest. There is no retreat but in submission and slavery! Our chains are forged! Their clanking may be heard on the plains of Boston! The war is inevitable—and let it come! I repeat it, sir, let it come.” VIRGINIA DELEGATE: “Mr. Henry, we speak for peace, sir!” HENRY: “It is in vain, sir, to extenuate the matter. Gentlemen may cry, peace, peace—but there is no peace. The war is actually begun! The next gale that sweeps from the north will bring to our ears the clash of resounding arms! Our brethren are already in the field! Why stand we here idle? “What is it that they wish? What would they have? Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? “Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!” (Read the whole transcript). Patrick Henry's powerful oration is credited with swinging Virginia's convention in support of committing troops in the War for Independence from the British Empire.  Notable delegates who were present at the convention included future U.S. presidents George Washington and Thomas Jefferson. What is less known about Henry's speech is that he gave it shortly after the tragic death of his wife, Sarah. However, from his position of grief, God used Henry in a pivotal moment in the history of America's development. In 2 Corinthians 12:10, The Apostle Paul wrote, “For the sake of Christ, then, I am content with weaknesses, insults, hardships, persecutions, and calamities. For when I am weak, then I am strong.” Get the book entitled Give Me Liberty: The Uncompromising Statesmanship of Patrick Henry.

Reports of U.S. anger with Israel for targeting Iran’s oil fields in the intensifying conflict have been “massively exaggerated,” said Haaretz senior defense analyst Amos Harel on the Haaretz Podcast. While the American president “probably felt that Israel took this a step too far,” Harel said, “the truth of the matter is that the Israelis and the U.S. military are deeply coordinated.” Regarding the entrance of Hezbollah into the expanding war, Harel said that the Lebanese group is “still quite capable of creating damage” to Israel, which is why the IDF has deployed large-scale force against them with airstrikes across Lebanon. Still, he said, “most of the effort and most of the focus remains on Iran.” Despite the disruption to life in Israel, he pointed out that in the first 12 days of this war, there has been far less actual damage and loss of life in Israel during the two weeks of war last June. Also on the podcast, Haaretz Jewish World Editor Judy Maltz visits an underground parking lot tent city populated by Tel Aviv residents without adequate overnight protection from missiles - many of whom were second-time refugees. “Most of the people I met had been there in June” she said. “When Israel and the U.S. attacked Iran, they just packed their bags and came back. They knew the drill already.” Read more: Israel Focuses on Hitting Iran's Regime After Exceeding Military Target Expectations Trump Signals Iran War Nearing End Amid Oil Fears as Hezbollah Surprises Israel 'Priciest Real Estate in Town': Tel Avivians Ride Out the War Deep UndergroundSleepless in Tel Aviv: Iranian Missile Barrages Trigger All-night Sirens in Central IsraelSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
