In his heart, he heard Jesus calling to him in the dark hours of the morning: a divine appointment.These quiet moments built a lifelong rhythm of seeking God before stepping into ministry.This level of authority is available to any believer who consistently walks with Jesus.[40:46] Sammy: “His presence rubs off of us. His authority rubs off of us—because we love Him and we spend time with Him.”[45:43] The Miraculous Healing Power of MinistryReagan shares a powerful testimony from a man at her church who was freed from depression during one of Sammy's visits.The moment he raised his hand during prayer, the burden lifted, and he heard the voice of Jesus within his heart.[47:54] Reagan: “He could hear the voice of Jesus say, ‘I love you.'”That single encounter changed his life, sustaining him through personal and financial challenges with peace and clarity.Sammy highlights how obedience—even a small gesture—can unlock breakthrough and healing through the Holy Spirit.[57:29] Upcoming Event: Merge Twin CitiesMerge USA is a call to reclaim the Twin Cities for Christ, starting in Minneapolis.Sammy explains the prophetic journey that began during the George Floyd riots and grew into a regional revival movement.From June 2–7, thousands will engage in prayer, fasting, and outreach, culminating in a massive event at the State Capitol.Artists like Naomi Raine, Hulvey, Josiah Queen, and other global evangelists will gather to celebrate God's holy work in the city.[1:04:24] A Prayer of HealingReagan and Sammy close with gratitude for God's power; for revival already happening; for every listener tuning in.A powerful time of prayer is coming to break off depression, fear, and financial lack in Jesus' name.Sammy blesses the audience with healing, encouragement, and supernatural alignment with God's will.As the faithful, we can do more than merely observe revival; we can participate in it, starting with a simple yes to God, then by being kind to all those around us.About SammySammy Wanyonyi is a global evangelist, apostolic leader, and founder of Shine In The World Ministries—a Gospel movement reaching the nations with healing, deliverance, and revival.

Lawmakers got behind a bill this session that would have required social media companies like Snapchat, Facebook and Instagram to do more about illegal activity on their platforms. It was a significant policy change, and it seemed poised for success, passing the legislature with broad bipartisan support in both chambers. But then the bill hit the governor's desk, where Polis, concerned about its potential impacts on privacy and free speech, pulled out his veto stamp.What happened next was a rare -- and somewhat surprising -- showdown between two branches of government, and a window into the complex politics that surround the power of the veto.CPR's Bente Birkeland and The Colorado Sun's Jesse Paul examine how it all went down and what this moment could mean looking ahead, as Colorado's Democratic majority at the statehouse appears to be increasingly willing to challenge Polis during his waning time in office.Purplish is produced by CPR News and the Capitol News Alliance, a collaboration between KUNC News, Colorado Public Radio, Rocky Mountain PBS, and The Colorado Sun, and shared with Rocky Mountain Community Radio and other news organizations across the state.

Today's Topics: 1) Gospel - John 8:21-30 - Jesus said to the Pharisees: "I am going away and you will look for Me, but you will die in your sin. Where I am going you cannot come." So the Jews said, "He is not going to kill Himself, is He, because He said, 'Where I am going you cannot come'?" He said to them, "You belong to what is below, I belong to what is above. You belong to this world, but I do not belong to this world. That is why I told you that you will die in your sins. For if you do not believe that I AM, you will die in your sins." So they said to Him, "Who are You?" Jesus said to them, "What I told you from the beginning. I have much to say about you in condemnation. But the One Who sent Me is true, and what I heard from Him I tell the world." They did not realize that he was speaking to them of the Father. So Jesus said to them, "When you lift up the Son of Man, then you will realize that I AM, and that I do nothing on My own, but I say only what the Father taught Me. The One Who sent Me is with Me. He has not left Me alone, because I always do what is pleasing to Him." Because He spoke this way, many came to believe in Him.

Climate scientist and policy expert Anna Farro Henderson embarks on a remarkable narrative journey in Core Samples: A Climate Scientist's Experiments in Politics and Motherhood (U Minnesota Press, 2025), exploring how science is done, discussed, legislated, and imagined. Through stories both raucous and poignant--of far-flung expeditions, finding artistic inspiration in research, and traversing the systemic barriers women and mothers face in science and politics--she brings readers into the daily rhythms and intimacies of scientific research and political negotiation. Grounded in her experiences as a climate scientist, an environmental policy advisor to Minnesota Senator Al Franken and Governor Mark Dayton, and a constant juggler of the many roles and responsibilities of professional moms, Henderson's eclectic, unconventional essays range from observations, confessions, and meditations on lab and fieldwork to a packing list for a trip to the State Capitol and a lactation diary. Readers are invited on voyages as far afield as the Trinity nuclear test site in New Mexico, the Juneau Icefield in Alaska, and a meteor crater in Ghana--and as close to home as a town hall meeting in America's corn belt. A love letter to science and a bracing (and sometimes hilarious) portrait of the many obstacles women, mothers, and people digging for truth navigate, Core Samples illuminates the messy, contradictory humanity of our scientific and political institutions. Bringing us behind the closed doors of discovery and debate, Henderson exposes the flaws in research institutions, the halls of government, and the role of science in policy, yet she shows how each crack is also an invitation for camaraderie, creativity, and change. Dr. Anna Farro Henderson is a Canadian American paleo-ecologist/climate scientist and writer. She was an environmental policy adviser to the Minnesota Senator Al Franken and Governor Mark Dayton. She is a fellow at the Institute on the Environment at the University of Minnesota. She is on the faculty at the Mitchell Hamline Law School. She has also worked as a consultant and climate advocate. She is a creative writing instructor at the Loft Literary Center, and as a renowned author she has a number of articles published in well know environmental and literary publications, such as: Orion, Terrain and The Common.
