What does it really look like to raise a child when doctors say he won't survive?In this episode of Your Biggest Breakthrough, Ken and Mary Sue Grein share the deeply personal story of raising their son, Jacob Grein, over the course of 37 years. Born six weeks premature, Jacob faced severe medical complications, physical disabilities, deafness, and ongoing health challenges that required constant care from the day he entered the world.Ken and Mary Sue open up about the realities of parenting a medically fragile child—the fear, exhaustion, faith struggles, marriage pressures, and the daily decisions to keep going when answers didn't come easily. They reflect on the moments when they had to surrender outcomes to God, redefine what healing and success truly meant, and learn to live with hope amidst long-term caregiving.This episode isn't about a quick miracle. It's about faith lived out over decades, love that never wavers, and a son whose life profoundly shaped his family in lasting ways.If you're a parent walking a difficult road, a caregiver feeling unseen, or someone wrestling with unanswered prayers, Jacob's story—and his parents' journey—will encourage you to keep going, one day at a time.Chapters:[00:00] Podcast Preview[01:30] Topic and Guest Introduction[03:25] Jacob Grein's Traumatic Premature Birth[04:35] Surrendering Jacob's Life to God[06:54] Doctors Give Jacob Six Months to Live[09:50] Learning to Live Moment by Moment[11:40] Bringing Jacob Home After 137 Days in NICU[13:50] Discovering That Jacob is Deaf[15:14] How Jacob's Illness Tested Their Marriage[18:21] Years of Surgeries and Setbacks[20:32] Raising Other Children While Caring for Jacob[22:00] Accepting Jacob's Disabilities[23:53] Caregiving as a Lifelong Calling[26:14] How Jacob Became Their Greatest Teacher[27:53] New Definition of Success and Purpose[28:30] Jacob's Joy Despite Suffering[33:04] Losing Jacob After 37 Years[36:44] Healing After Caregiving Ends[39:13] Why Jacob's Story Brings Hope to Others[40:50] Where to Find Jacob's Story BookResources mentioned:Get Your Copy of Jacob's StoryWebsiteYouTubeInstagramFacebookGuest's bio and social handles:Kenneth and Mary Sue Grein have been married for over four decades and are the parents of four children: Jacob, Hannah, Luke, and Grace. Their love story began at Rockmont College in Denver, Colorado, where they met during freshman orientation in 1977.
Ken, a former college basketball player and lifelong contractor, grew up on his family's farm in Brighton, Colorado, where he learned the values of hard work and perseverance that would serve him throughout Jacob's medical journey. Mary Sue, a gifted pianist and devoted mother, became Jacob's primary caregiver and fiercest advocate, developing an expertise in medical terminology and special needs care that few parents possess.Together, they navigated 37 years of medical challenges, hospital stays, and daily caregiving while raising three other children and maintaining their faith through the darkest moments. Their experience as parents of a child with multiple disabilities taught them profound lessons about love, resilience, and finding joy in the smallest victories. The...

The Irish Blood Transfusion Service is warning time critical operations could be at risk in the MidWest over the Christmas period. The IBTS is hosting blood donation clinics at the Fall's Hotel in Ennistymon both tonight and tomorrow Tuesday from 4.50pm until 8.10pm. Roughly two-thirds of all donations will be used for cancer treatment, with the remainder to emergency surgeries and general operations.

In this powerful client spotlight, Daria opens up about her long-game transformation. Navigating a lipedema diagnosis, multiple surgeries, and the mental load that comes with it—while committing to a simple promise: never live above 200 pounds again. We dig into the routines and mindsets that actually stick: consistent training, protein-forward meals, community support, and self-advocacy in a confusing healthcare landscape. Daria also shares her GLP-1 experience for managing food noise, the role of coaching accountability, and how letting go of rigid expectations unlocked real momentum.

Send us a textOur guest today, Jay Setchell, in his own words: "Multiple deaths & near death experiences. 73 Surgeries. Paralysis. Faith / Hope / Prayer... The discipline and structure of the Marine Corps drilled into me a commitment to every cause I took on. Years of pain, frustration, and setbacks gave me a relentless determination to get back up and keep going. My successes fueled my drive, and even my failures gave me fire to keep pushing forward.  What I've learned is simple but powerful: I can't expect my future to be handed to me by someone else. It's my responsibility. There are ten little two-letter words I've carried with me for years, words that keep me motivated whenever I feel the temptation to give in: IF IT IS TO BE, IT IS UP TO ME. And remember this one truth that has carried me through everything I've faced:  It's Always Too Soon to Quit!"  Listen now. His website:  https://neverquittrying.com/We are forming a NEW GROUP!  Join the current group to stay up to date on the move and to get your personal invitation to join!Contact US:  Rumble/ YouTube/ IG: @powerofmanpodcastEmail: powerofmanpodcast@gmail.com.Twitter: @rorypaquetteLooking for Like-Minded Fathers and Husbands?

In this powerful Thanksgiving episode, host Justin Siems sits down with A320 Captain Jake Tishman to discuss one of the most inspiring aviation journeys you'll hear. Jake shares his decade-long battle with an autoimmune disease that threatened to derail his dream of becoming an airline pilot at every turn—from getting medically disqualified from the Naval Academy to facing multiple surgeries and hospital stays while trying to complete his flight training.Despite the setbacks, Jake persevered through:Multiple hospitalizations during college and flight trainingCompleting all his ratings from instrument through CFI/CFII in just 5.5 monthsTaking medical leave from his first airline jobNavigating the corporate aviation world when airlines rejected his applicationsFinally landing at his current carrier after nearly giving upThis episode goes beyond the typical aviation career story to explore resilience, gratitude, and finding perspective through adversity. Jake's candid discussion about learning to appreciate the smallest victories—even just having the energy to get out of the car—offers valuable lessons for anyone facing challenges in their career or life.Whether you're a student pilot facing obstacles, an instructor dealing with setbacks, or an airline pilot who rushed through training, Jake's story reminds us all to appreciate where we are and recognize that our unique paths shape who we become.Plus, there's plenty of good-natured ribbing about Ohio State vs. Florida State football, corporate aviation perks, and the reality of chasing airline seniority numbers.

On this episode of Integrative Cancer Solutions Dr. Michael Karlfeldt is joined by Jeannine Walston who recounts her decades-long journey with a brain tumor, beginning with a shocking diagnosis in 1998 that led to three awake brain surgeries and a sequence of evolving treatments. She situates her story within a broader philosophy of integrative cancer care, emphasizing that true healing addresses mind, body, and spirit. Her narrative blends medical detail with lived experience, framing resilience and self-care as essential companions to clinical interventions.The conversation traces her early treatment arc: initial surgery after an MRI revealed an oligo astrocytoma, followed by cognitive rehabilitation and regular MRIs. As her tumor recurred, she navigated complex decisions and medical systems, seeking perspectives from neuro-oncologists at UCSF and Stanford while also exploring complementary approaches. This period included time in Washington, DC, work on Capitol Hill, and a deepening curiosity about nontraditional therapies that could augment standard care.Walston's treatment path advanced further in California, culminating in a third awake surgery in 2013 at UCLA and participation in innovative protocols. She describes combining radiation, oral chemotherapy, and a dendritic cell-based vaccine—personalized immunotherapy designed to marshal the immune system against the tumor. The discussion highlights promising outcomes associated with dendritic cell vaccines for aggressive brain cancers and underscores the value of multidisciplinary teams aligning evidence-based medicine with supportive practices.Parallel to the medical story runs a thread of personal growth. Walston speaks candidly about a dark period unrelated to cancer and the difficult inner work of cultivating self-love, gratitude, and resilience. She argues that sustainable well-being requires more than disease avoidance: it depends on quality sleep, nourishing diet, movement, stress reduction, and the courage to practice these habits consistently. In her view, neuroplasticity offers the scientific backbone—repeated, intentional behaviors can rewire thought patterns and support better emotional and physical health.Today, as a cancer coach, Jeannine Walston helps patients and caregivers build informed, holistic plans. She outlines practical steps: assemble a care team, evaluate options rigorously, and integrate supportive modalities like breathwork, meditation, music, and community connections. By sharing client stories and concrete tactics, she translates her experience into guidance that empowers others. The episode closes on a hopeful note—advances in treatments continue, and with integrative care, social support, and daily intentional practices, people can cultivate a life oriented toward healing and purpose alongside medical care.Jeannine Walston shares her 27-year journey with a brain tumor, including three awake surgeries and evolving treatments that shaped her philosophy of integrative care.She details moving from initial diagnosis and cognitive rehab to exploring both academic neuro-oncology (UCSF, Stanford, UCLA) and complementary therapies to support healing.A major milestone was her 2013 UCLA treatment combining radiation, oral chemotherapy, and a personalized dendritic cell vaccine aimed at amplifying immune response to the tumor.Beyond medicine, she emphasizes daily practices—sleep, nutrition, movement, stress reduction, gratitude, and self-love—as foundations for resilience and well-being.Now a cancer coach, she helps patients and caregivers build informed, holistic plans that blend evidence-based treatments with practical, compassionate support systems._____________________Grab my book A Better Way to Treat Cancer: A Comprehensive Guide to Understanding, Preventing and Most Effectively Treating Our Biggest Health Threat - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CM1KKD9X?ref_=pe_3052080_397514860 Unleashing 10X Power: A Revolutionary Approach to Conquering Cancerhttps://store.thekarlfeldtcenter.com/products/unleashing-10x-power-Price: $24.99-100% Off Discount Code: CANCERPODCAST1Healing Within: Unraveling the Emotional Roots of Cancerhttps://store.thekarlfeldtcenter.com/products/healing-within-Price: $24.99-100% Off Discount Code: CANCERPODCAST2----Integrative Cancer Solutions was created to instill hope and empowerment.

Lyn talks to Jeffrey Nuziard, a sexual health and wellness expert and the developer of the patented RegenMax treatment.  Jeffrey shares his personal, devastating experience with erectile dysfunction (ED) that began in his 40s, which ultimately led him on a 15-year quest to find a genuine cure. He explains the root cause of physical ED is not poor blood flow (as conventional medicine suggests), but rather the degeneration of collagen in the penile tissue due to dropping testosterone levels as men and women age KEY TAKEAWAYS Contrary to popular belief, the primary cause of physical erectile dysfunction is not simply poor blood flow, but the breakdown of collagen that holds together the spongy tissues (corpora cavernosa) inside the penis Dropping testosterone levels, which begin to decline by an average of 2% per year in our 20s, activate the body's ageing process, causing the body to shut down non-essential functions like collagen production The RegenMax treatment focuses on regenerative medicine by using a combination of techniques, including heat and acoustic sources, to cause micro-tears in the tissue Women also experience atrophy due to collagen and hormone loss, leading to issues like clitoral atrophy and vaginal relaxation syndrome BEST MOMENTS "I discovered that everybody says [poor] blood flow is the cause of erectile dysfunction, but it's not." "Losing testosterone activates the ageing process." "The first thing that your body shuts down is our production of collagen." "Our bodies are able to regenerate themselves... that's how we were designed." ABOUT THE GUEST - Jeffrey Nuziard - Sexual Health & Wellness Expert Jeff Nuziard is the founder of Sexual Wellness Centers of America and the innovator of REGENmax®, the only patented protocol proven to cure and prevent erectile and vaginal dysfunction. More than 3,000 patients have completed the program, with outcomes that consistently reflect the remarkable 97.2% success rate first demonstrated in his clinical trial.

Lauren shares what it was like receiving that phone call, navigating the unknown, and becoming Brigham's anchor through months of recovery and setbacks.Brigham opens up about waking up in the ICU unable to speak, feeling hopeless, and battling suicidal thoughts, all while learning to eat, talk, and move again from scratch. The fact that he's here today, walking and healing, is nothing short of a miracle.

Our August break continues and we're throwing it way back to Episode 34 with Aaron Mankin. A true American hero, Aaron Menken joined Paul Rieckhoff at the Classic Car Club in New York for an incredibly powerful conversation. Having survived a catastrophic IED explosion in Iraq that left him with severe burns and countless injuries shares the story of his journey to recovery with Paul in this riveting conversation. This is about more than just survival—it's about choosing hope over despair and we're sure it will leave you feeling inspired. Aaron's injuries have meant he's had to endure over 70 surgeries to reconstruct his face and body, but he's lifting up others by turning his recovery into a mission to inspire others. He talks about the extraordinary support of Operation Mend at UCLA, a program that not only rebuilt his face but also helped restore his soul. With his trademark humor, he recalls a memorable encounter at the Playboy Mansion, where he found himself in a room with more plastic surgery than any place on Earth. It's a masterclass in turning trauma into purpose. The importance of gratitude and service, and a unique look at how you define a leader and a patriot. His powerful message is a must-listen interview with a man who has every reason to be angry but chooses to be happy and inspire others instead.

Ever wondered what it's like to peek into strangers' homes just for the thrill of it? That's how we kicked off our weekend, sharing some hilarious stories about attending open houses with no intention of buying, just a curious fascination with interior designs and the quirks of personal spaces. We also took a humorous detour into the wild world of dating across cultures, where the mix of different backgrounds leads to some truly memorable and candid relationship tales. And of course, we couldn't resist chatting about the complexities of buying and selling homes and the rollercoaster of emotions that come with it. Next up, we hit the road—literally—with plans for an epic journey through New Mexico and Colorado. Amidst the excitement of a new baby's arrival, we navigated the logistics of respecting privacy and recovery time for new parents. The route quickly turned into a lively debate on superhero flicks, from the latest Fantastic Four to the classics like Iron Man. All this led to a side-splitting discussion about which Fantastic Four characters we'd embody and why it's essential to balance relaxation with adventure during vacations. Finally, we wrapped things up with a deep dive into the ethics of influencer culture and the music industry's ever-changing landscape. Our conversation touched on Taylor Swift's bold moves to reclaim her music masters and speculated on the future of music streaming platforms. We also addressed the importance of online safety for kids and the cultural connections some car brands have, especially within the African-American community. From discussing the appeal of certain cars to exploring parenting in the digital age, our show was packed with thoughtful insights and plenty of laughs along the way.

Hacham Ovadia Yosef ruled that if a person needs to undergo surgery during the Nine Days (from Rosh Hodesh Ab through Tisha B'Ab), and the procedure could be delayed until after Tisha B'Ab without endangering his health, then he should postpone the operation so as not to have it done during the Nine Days, which is an inauspicious time. Although it is customary not to make weddings during the three-week period from Shiba Asar Be'Tammuz through Tisha B'Ab, it is permissible to get engaged during this period, and even during the Nine Days – and even on Tisha B'Ab itself. One may also host an event to celebrate the engagement, though without a festive meal. If a couple is getting married after Tisha B'Ab, wedding-related purchases may not be made during the Nine Days. These include clothes and other items for the wedding, as well as furniture and utensils for the couple's home. If, however, there will not be enough time after Tisha B'Ab to make the necessary purchases, or if the products might not be available after Tisha B'Ab, and the groom has yet to fulfill the Misva of Periya Ve'ribya (procreation) – and thus the wedding should not be delayed – then the purchases may be made during the Nine Days. One should not have his house painted or redecorated during the Nine Days. Work that is necessary for basic living – such as repairing plumbing, doors or windows – is allowed, but work that merely enhances the home, such as painting, wallpaper and carpeting, should not be done during this period. It goes without saying that building luxury items such as a tennis court or swimming pool may not take place during the Nine Days. In a synagogue, however, even work to enhance the building is permitted during the Nine Days, as it is a Misva to glorify the house of prayer. If a Jewish painter has no other source of income, and if he does not work during the Nine Days he will have no money for his basic necessities, then according to some Poskim – including Hacham Ovadia Yosef – he may be allowed to work during this period. If a Jewish painter was unable to complete before Rosh Hodesh Ab a job for which he was hired, and he if does not complete it during the Nine Days he would suffer a financial loss – as he has other jobs lined up for after Tisha B'Ab – there may be room to allow him to finish the painting work during the Nine Days. In such a case, a competent Posek should be consulted for guidance. If one hired a non-Jewish painter, and he wishes to continue working during the Nine Days so he can complete the job, the Jewish customer should try to convince him to agree to postpone the work until after Tisha B'Ab, even if this entails paying some compensation. If the painter cannot be convinced, then he may be allowed to complete the work during the Nine Days. The Ben Ish Hai (Rav Yosef Haim of Baghdad, 1833-1909) brings from an earlier source that one should not purchase wood during the Nine Days, in commemoration of the loss of the "Aseh Ha'ma'aracha" – the firewood on the altar in the Bet Ha'mikdash. Since we mourn in this period the destruction of the Bet Ha'mikdash, and the loss of the ability to offer sacrifices on the altar, it is appropriate to refrain from purchasing wood. Hacham Ovadia Yosef writes that according to this explanation of the custom, it applies only to the purchase of firewood, since it commemorates the loss of the firewood on the altar. However, Hacham Abdullah Somech (Baghdad, 1813-1889), in his Zibheh Sedek, writes that one should refrain from purchasing firewood during this period because we lost on Tisha B'Ab the building of the Bet Ha'mikdash, which was made from wood. According to this reason, purchasing wood even for building purposes should be forbidden. Hacham Ovadia Yosef concludes that since the Ben Ish Hai did not mention the reason given by Hacham Abdullah, it seems that it was not accepted. Therefore, although one may not purchase firewood during the Nine Days (such as if he wishes already then to prepare for the winter), he may purchase wood for construction purposes, or to build furniture, if he is planning to build after Tisha B'Ab. Hacham Ovadia Yosef ruled that in Israel, contractors who build homes with the intent of selling them for a profit may continue their work during the Nine Days, due to the housing shortage in Israel. Generally, one should not build during the Nine Days for the purpose of earning a profit, but Hacham Ovadia felt that given the urgent need for more homes in Eretz Yisrael, construction on residential buildings should not be suspended during the Nine Days. Rav Yisrael Bitan clarified that although Hacham Ovadia wrote this in the early years of the State of Israel, when the country saw a very large influx of immigrants, creating a dire housing shortage, this is true even today, when, thank G-d, many new couples are marrying and need homes. On Tisha B'Ab itself, however, the work should be discontinued. One whose new home becomes ready during the Nine Days may move in, assuming that this is his primary residence into which he is moving to more comfortably accommodate his family, and he is not moving for luxury purposes. He may even host a Hanukat Ha'bayit celebration during the Nine Days after moving in– and he in fact should do so rather than delay the celebration. Although it is customary to conduct the Hanukat Ha'bayit within a year of moving into a new home, it is nevertheless preferable to have the event as soon as possible, and so one who moves into a new home during the Nine Days should host the Hanukat Ha'bayit immediately. Light refreshments may be served at the event, but music may not be played. Normally, when hosting a Hanukat Ha'bayit, the homeowner wears a new garment and recites the Beracha of "She'hehiyanu." When the event is held during the Nine Days, one should wear the new garment and recite "She'hehiyanu" after Tisha B'Ab, as it is customary not to recite this Beracha during the Three Weeks. One should not purchase fine jewelry during the Nine Days. Nevertheless, a jeweler may continue operating his business during the Nine Days. Since people purchase jewelry more frequently nowadays than in the past, such purchases do not bring special joy as they used to, and so there is room to be lenient for somebody who earns a livelihood from selling jewelry. One may purchase a new car during the Nine Days if he needs it for his livelihood. If, however, he wishes to buy a new car as a luxury, not as a necessity, then he should wait until after Tisha B'Ab, unless the car will cost more money if he delays. It would seem that there is no distinction between buying and leasing in this regard. One may purchase new Torah books during the Nine Days, and if he needs more space for the new books, he may buy new bookshelves. In general, one may purchase furniture that is needed for basic living, but not furniture that is needed for luxury purposes. One may buy simple clothing, such as socks, but one may not buy more significant garments, such as a suit. However, this is permissible if the price will be significantly higher after Tisha B'Av. One may buy material during the Nine Days to be used for making clothing after Tisha B'Ab.

In this episode, I'm pulling back the curtain (and maybe the hospital gown) on something I rarely go into detail about... my long, complicated, sometimes comical history with fourteen surgeries. Yep, 14. From having a tumor removed at age three, to getting breast implants (and later explanting them), to a full-on spinal disc replacement… it's been a journey! Spoiler alert: almost all roads lead back to my back. Whether it was compensating during workouts, posture shifts from surgery scar tissue, or the ripple effects of certain cosmetic procedures, neurological issues and more…  my spine has carried the load... literally and metaphorically... for decades. I open up about: Why I got each surgery (the real reasons, not just the Instagram explanation) What I regret, what I don't, and what I really want women in midlife to know before going under the knife How I finally ended up needing my L5-S1 disc replaced (ouch… and also, wow) The things that are ACTUALLY helping me recover like red light, peptides, compression, hydration, and walking (even when it feels like dragging a noodle-leg down the street) If you're navigating surgery, chronic pain, or even just frustrated that your body feels like it's falling apart faster than your favorite jeans... this episode is for you.

It's Thursday, July 24th, 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 United Kingdom urging 10 countries to give religious freedom The United Kingdom is urging 10 countries in the world to protect religious freedom.  British Member of Parliament David Smith announced the plan earlier this month as the U.K.'s new Special Envoy for Freedom of Religion or Belief. Smith highlighted the persecution of Christians around the world in his briefing. His plan will promote religious freedom in countries where the need is greatest, including Afghanistan, Algeria, China, India, Iraq, Nigeria, Pakistan, Syria, Ukraine, and Vietnam. Listen to comments Smith made on his X account. SMITH: “So today, I was at the Foreign Office launching the freedom of religion or belief strategy -- a strategy that as U.K. Special Envoy, I've been working on for the last six months. “That strategy is going to help us work with civil society organizations, with the U.K. posts all around the world, to focus in on the places that we can make the most difference to make sure that people can have freedom of religion or belief and not be persecuted for what they believe.” At the end of his briefing, Smith quoted Proverbs 31:8-9 which says, “Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves, for the rights of all who are destitute. Speak up and judge fairly: defend the rights of the poor and needy.” U.S. to incinerate $10 million worth of contraceptives Reuters reports the United States is planning to incinerate nearly $10 million worth of contraceptives. The stockpile includes contraceptive implants and pills that have been stored in Belgium ever since President Donald Trump put a freeze on U.S. foreign aid. The U.S. turned down offers from the United Nations and other organizations to buy the contraceptives.  Instead, the U.S. is having them shipped to a facility in France that handles medical waste. This is in keeping with the Mexico City policy that Trump reinstated in January. The policy blocks U.S. funding to foreign groups that promote abortion. Trump cuts funding for transsexual drugs and surgeries for minors National Review reports the Trump administration is cutting federal funding for “sex trait modifications to minors.” The Department of Health and Human Service is working on a new rule to protect children from transsexual drugs and surgeries. Hospitals that harm children this way would not be allowed to participate in Medicare or Medicaid.  An administration official told National Review, “We are actively combing through all federal grants that go to the hospitals that still provide these procedures … to kids, and sorting through what funding could be cut.” Previously-owned homes sales down A report from the National Association of Realtors found the sale of previously owned homes fell 2.7% last month. Meanwhile, the median existing-home sales price is up 2% at $435,300 -- the highest ever.  Mortgage rates are also high with the average 30-year fixed-rate mortgage coming in at 6.75%. Lawrence Yun, Chief Economist at the National Association of Realtors, said, “Multiple years of undersupply are driving the record high home price. Home construction continues to lag population growth. This is holding back first-time home buyers from entering the market.” 25% of Gen Z workers regret college One out of four Gen Z workers regrets going to college, according to a report from Resume Genius. Survey respondents were born between 1997 and 2012. Seventy-three percent of Gen Z employees said they earned a degree. Of those, 21% said they work in a different field than their degree, and 19% said their degree didn't contribute to their career at all. Gen Z workers who studied science, technology, engineering, mathematics, or health professions were the most likely to say their degree contributed to their career.  If they could change their education path, 13% of Gen Z workers said they would learn a skilled trade or pursue a career that doesn't require a degree, and 10% would focus on entrepreneurship or self-employment.  More young men coming to church And finally, the American Bible Society released results from a flash poll it conducted last week.  Over 120 churches around the country responded to the survey. The poll found that 54% of churches are seeing more interest in the Bible among young adults. And 58% said they are seeing more men coming to church.  The survey noted, “Churches are seeing more men of all ages, but especially young, walking through their doors. And those who already attended are getting more invested in their faith and involved in their church.” In Titus 2:1, 2, 6, the Apostle Paul wrote, “But as for you, speak the things which are proper for sound doctrine: that the older men be sober, reverent, temperate, sound in faith, in love, in patience. … Likewise, exhort the young men to be sober-minded.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Thursday, July 24th, in the year of our Lord 2025. Follow us on X or subscribe for free by Spotify, Amazon Music, or by iTunes or email to our unique Christian newscast at www.TheWorldview.com.  Plus, you can get the Generations app through Google Play or The App Store.

Join Jim and Greg for the Wednesday edition of the 3 Martini Lunch as they react to President Trump's cryptic yet playful comments on Iran, break down a major Supreme Court ruling on transgender procedures for minors, and shake their heads at yet another Democrat staging a protest for attention over ICE operations First, they get a kick out of President Trump having fun with a reporter's question about what might come next with Iran and adding, "I may do it. I may may not do it." Jim also wonders whether Trump's tough talk is just a smokescreen while Israel finishes the job at the nuclear sites.Next, they applaud the Supreme Court's decision to uphold Tennessee's law banning transgender surgeries, puberty blockers, and related treatments for minors. Jim says there needs to be a distinction between minors and adults on this issue. They also point out that most kids dealing with gender dysphoria end up embracing the way they were made while the surgeries and drugs are irreversible. Finally, they mock the latest political stunt involving a Democrat getting detained for interfering with ICE operations—this time New York City Comptroller Brad Lander, who also happens to be a mayoral candidate with a primary next week. Jim fears this tactic may become a Democratic litmus test in 2026.  And they both have fun imagining a more organized way for Dems to carry out their publicity stunts.Please visit our great sponsors:No missed calls, no missed customers with OpenPhone.

Tim McGraw stopped by the studio for the Friday Morning Conversation.
