It's a rough time for people who worry about infectious diseases. A new study shows bird flu is more widespread in U.S. cows than previously thought. Around 250 Americans have been infected with measles, including two people who died. And globally, the Democratic Republic of the Congo is struggling to contain a Mpox outbreak, Uganda is battling Ebola, Tanzania is fighting Marburg, and Lassa fever is spreading in East Africa. In the face of all that, the Trump administration has gutted funding for programs that help protect Americans from these types of diseases. Anne Rimoin, an epidemiology professor at UCLA and director of the Center for Global and Immigrant Health, talks about what's worrying her.And in headlines: Senate Democrats said they'll vote against a House bill to keep the government open past Friday, new government data showed egg prices hit another record last month, and President Donald Trump hosted the Irish Prime at the White House amid a growing trade war with the European Union.Show Notes:Subscribe to the What A Day Newsletter – https://tinyurl.com/3kk4nyz8Support victims of the fire – votesaveamerica.com/reliefWhat A Day – YouTube – https://www.youtube.com/@whatadaypodcastFollow us on Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/crookedmedia/For a transcript of this episode, please visit crooked.com/whataday
Samuel Okurut joins us for a vulnerable and gut-wrenching conversation about his traumatic past and his incredible testimony of finding God through horrific suffering. Growing up in Uganda, he experienced the joys of village life before being thrust into the horrors of war, eventually facing captivity, torture, and persecution—even after his conversion. In this episode, he shares his struggles with why God allowed his suffering to continue, what true forgiveness looks like, and how he ultimately found healing, purpose, and hope in Christ. His story, told in his book Living in the Shadow of Death: From a Child of War to an Ambassador of Christ, is a powerful reminder that God is present even in our deepest pain. This conversation is not for the faint of heart, but it will challenge you to embrace Christ in the face of suffering, grow in your faith, and hold fast to the hope of eternity.

Minister for Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science, James Lawless TD, and Minister of State for International Development and Diaspora, Neale Richmond TD, today announced €2.2 million funding for research projects that seek to address the global issues of hunger and food insecurity. The Sustainable Development Goals Challenge is run in partnership with Irish Aid, and the six research projects receiving funding are focused on SDG 2: Zero Hunger. The research teams will develop a wide range of solutions that can contribute to ending hunger, achieving food security and promoting sustainable agriculture. €2.2 million research funding for Zero Hunger The projects include: Empowering women farmers in Malawi to overcome the unique barriers they face and breakdown gender inequities in agriculture. Leveraging and strengthening digital health systems in Uganda to tackle hunger, food access and malnutrition in vulnerable populations. Ensuring that women from marginalized communities in Sub-Saharan Africa can access nutrient-rich meals, improving maternal-child health outcomes through Mobile health (mHealth) interventions. Integrating indigenous knowledge with climate-smart agricultural technologies to build resilience in smallholder farming practices in Malawi. Using AI to help farmers in Vietnam achieve high rice yields while preserving soil and saving water in the context of environmental and climate pressures. Developing solar-powered crop processing machines for climate-resilient grain crops to decrease postharvest loss and increase productivity for smallholder farmers in Zimbabwe. Minister James Lawless said: "Today's funding announcement reinforces Ireland's commitment to implementing the UN Sustainable Development Goals. With over 700 million people continuing to face food insecurity and malnutrition globally, the research of these six teams can make a real and positive impact at an international level. As these projects progress through collaboration with researchers in Irish Aid partner countries, they will work directly with those most impacted by the challenges they are addressing, delivering tangible solutions to significant societal challenges. I wish the teams every success over the coming months." Minister Neale Richmond said: "Ireland is committed to creating a more equal and sustainable world. Investment in transforming global food systems is crucial to delivering on this commitment. Irish Aid's ongoing partnership with Research Ireland is an important driver of innovative and transformational change. With this Challenge focused on the Sustainable Development Goal of Zero Hunger, the projects funded today will help us combat chronic hunger, under-nutrition and gender inequality for food systems transformation." Celine Fitzgerald, Interim CEO, Research Ireland, said: "The SDG Challenge programme is an inspiring example of the power of international collaboration and strategic research funding. Challenge-based research funding encourages researchers to work directly with those most affected by the problems they seek to address and Research Ireland's collaboration with Irish Aid has enabled truly international research partnerships. Ireland has a whole-of-government approach to the implementation of the SDGs and the projects funded today are a leading example of this integrated commitment. I look forward to following the progress these teams make as they develop their research projects." The six projects represent international collaborations between research institutes in Ireland and in Irish Aid partner countries - in this case, South Africa, Malawi, Uganda, Vietnam, and Zimbabwe. The research teams funded today will have the opportunity to compete for an overall prize fund of €1 million for the most competitive team as part of this challenge-based funding programme.

In the aftermath of the virtual destruction of the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), millions will starve and millions will die around the world. In this very special episode of the Jim Wallis Podcast, we provide a window into the magnitude of the torment being inflicted upon those Jesus called “the least of these.” You can read Jim's Commentary on this subject hereRev. Jim Wallis speaks with an eyewitness to the desperation, devastation, and imminent death that is resulting from the Trump Administration's vicious assault on people providing life-saving humanitarian aid around the world. Rev. Tim Costello, a global expert on international humanitarian aid, is the former Chief Executive of World Vision Australia (WVA) and the current Executive Director of Micah Australia. He was in Kenya and Uganda when the Trump Administration inaugurated the irresponsible and unconscionable freeze on USAID funds. “Kenyan women, clinicians, doctors [were] in tears saying, ‘the medications, the U-S-A-I-D medications have dried up. This means we cannot treat the people who we've treated for so many years, poor Kenyan people without a chance without these medications.'”See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

The U.S. Supreme Court Wednesday morning ordered the Trump administration to immediately pay $2 billion dollars owed to USAID contractors for work they have already done. But the ruling does not change the administration's move to cut $60 billion dollars in aid delivered through the agency. Countries that would have received that aid are already feeling the impact. Countries in the Horn of Africa, like Djibouti, Eritrea, Sudan, Somalia, Kenya, Uganda and Ethiopia, have seen projects that combat malaria, provide food assistance, health care and nutritional services close. Many countries in the region are facing famine and Sudan is in the middle of a civil war that has created the world's largest and fastest displacement crisis. Mohamed Idris is the executive director of Twin Cities-based American Relief Agency for the Horn of Africa, also known as ARAHA. The organization has field offices in Somalia, Kenya, Ethiopia and Sudan. He joins MPR News host Nina Moini to talk about the situation in the region.

Dana Robb is joined by Proviah Tutoreinwe from Uganda as they discuss inherent worth, the value of loving and serving those around you, and the importance of education for mothers and empowering women. “I am worthy of respect because of how unique I am with the gifts and the talents that Heavenly Father has given me. And this is the time to act.” - Proviah Tutoreinwe “That was a time when I needed to kneel down in prayer, and through personal reflection the Holy Spirit helped me to realize that my worth was not tied to what I could achieve with my academic, quality credits, credentials, or family title, but what my efforts were to love and care for those I was going to meet.” - Proviah Tutoreinwe “Remember your worth is inherent and not determined by circumstances. I would say take time to count your blessings, name them one by one, just like a song says. And similarly, reflect on your strengths, if they seem to be small or teeny, you can surround yourself with people who can uplift you… You can also try to seek spiritual guidance. Like I said, praying to reaffirm your value, like I had lost it, but through prayers I came back, I said, ‘No, I'm supposed to be this.' Because growth comes through challenges, … that's the time that you have to realize your worth.” - Proviah Tutoreinwe “I love what you said at the beginning of that: your worth is inherent. The root of that word is the same as the word inherited or inheritance. And that reminds me that, that's something that we come with. It's not something that can be taken away or changed or devalued no matter what we lack, no matter what we have, we don't get to change our worth. It is just inherent.” - Dana Robb Proviah Winnie Tutoreinwe Katsigazi aka senga The Professional Nurturer Creative and innovative Passionate Farmer Rooted in Faith Honoring ancestral wisdom Guided by truth Thriving in purpose Cultivating strong families and holistic self reliance Whenever presented with the opportunity for adventure, Dana Robb is all in. Currently, this includes riding the local mountain biking trails with her husband, canyoneering, and climbing the hills of southern Utah. She loves to learn and explore with her six kids.

It's Thursday, February 27th, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 125 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com. I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Jonathan Clark Ugandan Muslims stab Christian evangelist Morning Star News reports hardline Muslims stabbed a Christian evangelist in eastern Uganda earlier this month. The attackers stabbed 39-year-old Robert Kasozi in the stomach and beat three of his co-workers. This came after Robert engaged in open-air preaching and led a 75-year-old widow to Christ. Angered by this, the widow's relatives attacked the Christians and tore up their Bibles. Thankfully, the man is recovering from his wounds in the hospital, but has vowed to file a case with the police upon his return home. Authorities did not arrest any of the Muslim attackers at the time though some were known to area residents. This was the latest of many instances of persecution against Christians in Uganda documented by Morning Star News. Northern Ireland to threaten religious liberty Northern Ireland is considering legislation that could threaten religious liberty. Lawmakers for the region may consolidate existing so-called “equality” laws into one new law. The Christian Institute warns this could undermine religious liberty and “detrimentally affect the work of churches.” Officials previously used equality laws to target a Christian bakery for refusing to participate in celebrating sexually perverted lifestyles. Sam Webster with The Christian Institute told lawmakers, “Laws can be passed very easily, but legislators don't necessarily always see the implications further down the track for other protected characteristics.” Isaiah 10:1 says, “Woe to those who decree unrighteous decrees, who write misfortune, which they have prescribed.” Trump's budget passes the House In the United States, before the vote on President Donald Trump's budget on Tuesday, House Speaker Mike Johnson made these remarks. JOHNSON: “We promised to deliver President Trump's full agenda, not just a part of it. We're not just going to do a little bit now and return later for the rest. We have to do it now. And that ‘one big, beautiful bill' will include securing the border, restoring America's energy dominance, dismantling the deep state, growing our economy, ensuring we don't have the largest tax increase in US history, and a return to peace through strength. “We do not have time to waste. The American people are expecting us to deliver on this, and we will. House Republicans need to unite so we can keep this process moving forward. And I think they all understand that we're working right now to get everybody on board. I think everybody wants to be on this train and not in front of it.” The resolution passed 217-215 with no Democrat support and one Republican voting against it. The proposal lays a framework for enacting President Donald Trump's legislative agenda. It cuts $4.5 trillion in taxes and at least $1.5 trillion in spending and raises the debt ceiling by $4 trillion. The resolution would allow for the defunding of Planned Parenthood which receives hundreds of millions of dollars from the government each year. The proposal heads to the Senate where it must get bipartisan support. Georgia Supreme Court upheld Heartbeat Law The Supreme Court of Georgia once again upheld the state's heartbeat law. The court ruled 6-1 to uphold the Living Infants Fairness and Equality Act last Thursday. The law bans the killing of unborn babies with detectable heartbeats with some exceptions. The latest ruling overturns a lower court ruling in a case brought by abortion activists. Heartbeat laws in other states have been upheld by their respective supreme courts, including Florida, Iowa, and South Carolina. Amazon outpaced Walmart Amazon, the e-commerce giant, outpaced the retail giant Walmart in quarterly revenue for the first time. Amazon brought in $187.8 billion in revenue during the fourth quarter of last year while Walmart brought in $180.5 billion. Walmart has been the top revenue-generating company each quarter for over a decade after outpacing Exxon Mobil in 2012. Walmart is still projected to lead in annual sales, but Amazon is close behind. Decline of Christian identification has slowed A new report from Pew Research found the decline of Christian identification in the U.S. has slowed. Sixty-two percent of U.S. adults identify as Christians currently, down from 78% in 2007. That percentage fell to 71% by 2014 and 63% by 2019. However, the share of self-identified Christian adults has hovered between 60% and 64% over the past five years. Non-Christian religious identification stands at 7.1%, up from 4.7% in 2007. And identification as religiously unaffiliated stands at 29%, up from 16% in 2007 but appears to be plateauing. New plant found in Big Bend National Park And finally, a new species of plant was discovered at a U.S. national park for the first time in 50 years. Park staff members first encountered the plant in Big Bend National Park in Texas last year. The National Park Service noted that the plant's “fuzzy foliage and interesting flower looked like nothing they had seen before.” Researchers analyzed the plant, concluding it is unique enough to be classified as a new species. The plant is officially called Ovicula biradiata and belongs to the same family as daisies. Researchers are also investigating potential medicinal applications of the plant, including anti-cancer and anti-inflammatory properties. Psalm 104:24 says, “O LORD, how manifold are Your works! In wisdom You have made them all. The Earth is full of Your possessions.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Thursday, February 27th, in the year of our Lord 2025.

In this episode, I'm bringing you a rare, behind-the-scenes leadership talk I gave for Ugandan Water Project, covering life transitions, unlearning old beliefs, and how asking better questions leads to better answers. If you've ever found yourself wondering What am I going to do with my life?, this episode will challenge you to rethink success, identity, and purpose. I share the pivotal moments that shaped my journey—from the expectations placed on me by my culture and faith, to my personal turning points in career, relationships, and self-discovery. We also explore: The four most powerful questions I've asked myself that changed my trajectory. A hilarious (and slightly concerning) family story that involves my first-ever experience with alcohol… at age 4. Why your mission, vision, and goals should evolve—but your identity stays the same. If you're feeling stuck, searching for clarity, or navigating a major transition, this conversation will give you fresh insight and a new framework for moving forward.

(Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Kevin Swanson Muslims beheaded 70 Christians in Congo The Islamic State of Central Africa Province, a terrorist group, is reported to have killed 107 Christians between mid-October 2024 and early January 2025 in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. In fact, more than 5,000 Christians have been killed by this Muslim terrorist group since October of 2017, according to figures recorded by the Terrorism Research and Analysis Consortium. This just in. International Christian Concern reports that the Islamic State of Central Africa Province, formerly known as Allied Democratic Forces, is thought to be responsible for the horrific massacre of 70 Christians by beheading in Congo's eastern Lubero Territory near the country's border with Uganda and Rwanda last week. Pray for the Congo. It's the 35th most dangerous country worldwide for Christians, according to Open Doors. God transformed Central Asian prison with Bible In their March/April Magazine, Barnabas Aid included an article entitled ”God's Word Unchained.” (page 13) It tells the story of a Christian woman who was released from prison in Central Asia after serving four years. The unnamed Christian was able to smuggle a Bible into the prison. When administrators confronted her, she told them, “The Bible is God's Word and shows you the way for eternal life.” Four days later, the official came into the cell and told her, “You must read the book -- all of you.” Pointing to the woman, the official said, “Let her teach you all and you must listen to her!” The Christian prisoner reported that she “started to read the Bible for everyone. Many women asked me to give them the Bible, so they could read it personally. … We read the Bible aloud during the day, and some women read it in the night. The cell in which discord, slander, and enmity reigned turned into a quiet place. Women became friendly with each other.” The sister recounted how women were healed from sickness by prayer. and even the prison staff began to request prayer for themselves and their sick relatives. She was released from prison recently, after having served four years and one month of her ten-year sentence. In Isaiah 55:11, God makes a promise about His Word: “My Word that goes out from My mouth; it shall not return to Me empty, but it shall accomplish that which I purpose, and shall succeed in the thing for which I sent it.” German voters move right The German elections over the weekend produced one more political shake-up for Europe. The far left gained only four percent, while the right gained 14%, reports the Associated Press. America refused to blame Russia for invasion of Ukraine On Monday, the United States parted with European countries in an important United Nations vote. The United States refused to blame Russia for its invasion of Ukraine in votes on three U.N. resolutions Monday which sought an end to the three-year war. The resolution, which passed 93-18, called for the immediate withdrawal of Russian troops and referred to Moscow's aggression as a violation of the United Nations Charter. America voted with Russia and 16 other countries. J.D. Vance affirmed young men at CPAC Last Friday, Vice President J.D. Vance had a word for young men at the Conservative Political Action Conference held in National Harbor, Maryland. VANCE: He told the group that “our culture sends a message to young men that you should suppress every masculine urge.” He also spoke to the cultural zeitgeist. VANCE: “Wants to turn everybody, whether male or female, into androgynous idiots who think the same, talk the same and act the same. We actually think God made male and female for a purpose. We want you guys to thrive as young men and as young women, (applause) and we're going to help with our public policies to make it possible to do that.” Gallup: 9.3% of Americans now identify as homosexual or transgender The prevalence of homosexuality in the United States increased by 22% in just a single year. That's according to a recent Gallup poll, revealing that now 9.3% of Americans identify on the sexually-perverted LGBTQ spectrum. That's also up from 3.5% in 2012. Incredibly, 31% of young Gen Z women, and 12% of Gen Z men identify themselves with some form of sexual perversion that violates the laws of God. Romans 1:25-27 explains how they “worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator. … For this reason, God gave them up to vile passions. For even their women exchanged the natural use for what is against nature. Likewise, also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust for one another.” West Virginia might allow religious exemption for vaccines West Virginia's legislature is considering a religious exemption for vaccinations applying to children attending schools in the state. The state senate voted 20-12 to approve the measure on Friday. Only seven states provide for no religious exemption on vaccinations. How God used a one-arm woman to triumph in softball Despite the fact that Katelyn Pavey was born with only one arm, she excelled in women's softball. Conceived by parents involved in a sinful affair who became Christians, they raised her in the church. Remarkably, Katelyn became an all-state player in high school and received a full-ride to Cincinnati Christian University. Her story is told in a new movie entitled “I Can.” MovieGuide, the Christian movie review site, wrote, “'I Can' has a strong Christian, moral worldview stressing God's grace and forgiveness. … Ultimately, ‘I Can' tells an uplifting, inspiring, heartfelt story that champions God's faithfulness to help people overcome problems. The movie has many Christian elements like church and prayer. Circumstances point Katelyn to faith in God when she hits rock bottom. [However], due to some mature themes like death, an affair and injury, MovieGuide advises caution for younger children.” “I Can” can be streamed for free and is available on DVD through a special link in our transcript today at www.TheWorldview.com.
