In her latest book, Sanctuary People: Faith Based Organizing in Latina/o Communities (NYU Press, 2024), Dr. Gina Perez explores sanctuary practices in Ohio, locating them in broader local and national efforts to provide refuge and care in the face of the challenges facing Latina/o communities in a moment of increased surveillance, migrant detention, displacement, and economic and social marginalization. Pérez argues for a conceptualization of sanctuary that is capacious, placing support of Puerto Ricans displaced in the wake of Hurricane Maria within the broader practices of sanctuary and expanding our understandings of the movement that addresses the precarious conditions of Latinas/os beyond migration status.Based on four years of ethnographic research and interviews at the local, state, and national levels, Sanctuary People offers a compelling exploration of the ways in which faith communities are creating new activist strategies and enacting new forms of solidarity, working within the sometimes conflicting ideological space between religion and activism to answer the call of justice and live their faith. Dr. Gina Perez is a cultural anthropologist and chair of the Department of Comparative American Studies at Oberlin College. She is the author of two award-winning books—The Near Northwest Side Story: Gender, Migration and Puerto Rican Families (2004, University of California Press) and Citizen, Student, Soldier: Latina/o Youth, JROTC and the American Dream (2015, New York University Press). Pérez's research interests include Latinas/os, youth, militarism, gender, migration, urban ethnography, and faith-based organizing. Her new project focuses on sanctuary movements and multiethnic faith-based organizing among Latina/o communities in Ohio. Learn more about your ad choices.

What if young people could earn a paycheck, build real skills, and start a career – all before finishing school? Youth apprenticeships make it possible, but too few young people can access these opportunities.  In the fifth episode of the Annie E. Casey Foundation's series on what young people need to thrive, host Gloria Riviera speaks with two guests who are making the case for how apprenticeships can open doors to opportunity, mentorship and high-quality career pathways: Laura Burgher, an Annie E. Casey Foundation program associate, and Chris Grant, who started his Mastercard apprenticeship at 16 and is now a full-time product designer there. This episode was made possible with support from the Annie E. Casey Foundation, an organization that develops solutions to build a brighter future for children, youth, families and communities.

This episode describes how to respond when a teen, adolescent or young adult says they want to hurt themselves or kill themselves.It's horrifying when someone as young as 12-20 years old says they want to take their own life. When a teen or young adult confesses thoughts of hurting themselves or even hints at a plan, panic often kicks in...but what you do next can mean the difference between life and tragedy. In this episode, Dr. Kibby describes how you can transform fear into effective, life-saving support. If you're a parent, clinician, educator, or anyone caring for at-risk youth, this episode will change your perspective on how to handle these terrifying moments with compassion, clarity, and confidence. In this honest conversation, you'll discover why traditional reactions often do more harm than good and how shifting from control to understanding can unlock trust and safety. Dr. Kibby shares insights from her nearly lifelong work with mental health crises as well as adolescent and family Dialectical Behavior Therapy expert Dr. Marcus Rodriguez. Drawing from what she learned from Dr. Rodriguez, she emphasizes the importance of treating the whole family and system instead of isolated individuals. You'll learn why vague answers from teens are actually a sign of trust-building, not apathy or indifference, and how impulsivity heightens the risk of dangerous behaviors that require immediate, delicate intervention. We break down practical, step-by-step frameworks for assessing suicidality, from asking direct questions about plans and access to means, to understanding the importance of safety measures like environment restriction and involving the support system. You'll hear specific scripts designed to validate pain without validating harmful coping strategies, and how to balance genuine empathy with concrete safety protocols. The core message: you're not just stopping a moment of crisis- you're working with the teen, their family, and their community, to understand their pain and help them find hope. Interpersonal triggers like breakups, bullying, and social rejection are particularly devastating for teens, and how they differ from adult experiences. Dr. Kibby describes how you can meet teens where they are, by respecting their vague answers, impulsive actions, and emotional intensity, and why working systemically is essential for lasting safety. Remember: Asking directly about suicide does not plant the idea; it saves lives. Whether you're facing an immediate crisis or working to prevent one, this episode is your essential guide to understanding and intervening with care, respect, and hope.Trigger warning: Sensitive topics discussed include self-harm, suicidal ideation, and family trauma.If you're involved with teens or young adults, or if you simply want to learn how to support someone in their darkest hour, this episode is a must-listen. Resources:Parents, partners and other loved ones of people struggling with self harm and suicide, check out ⁠⁠KulaMind⁠⁠. Book a free call with Dr. Kibby to learn how she can help.Adolescents, teens and families in California in crisis should learn about Dr. Rodriguez's Dialectical Behavior Therapy program at Youth and Family Institute

Under current law in Minnesota, kids have to be at least 10 years old to be prosecuted for a crime. On Aug. 1, that bar will be raised to 13. The change is a result of legislation originally passed in 2024. Once it takes effect, Minnesota will become one of only three states with a minimum age of delinquency of 13, joining Maryland and New Hampshire. But some county officials say their agencies are not prepared for the change. MPR News host Nina Moini talked with two people who have raised concerns. Nicole Kern is director of community corrections in Morrison County in central Minnesota. And Anne Broskoff is director of human services in Brown County in southern Minnesota.

If your idea of a relaxing weekend includes a rogue pit bull at a charity event, a haunted A-frame cabin, and a guy waking up to a stranger standing over his bed, congratulations—you've found your people.This daily comedy episode starts with a huge thank-you to everyone who came out for Operation Food Search and helped absolutely crush the food drive. The listeners showed up, stayed all morning, and filled trucks with donations because apparently our audience enjoys doing good deeds almost as much as they enjoy making poor decisions.Then things get weird.A listener decides that "leash laws" are more of a suggestion than an actual rule and lets his dog roam free through a crowded event full of kids, other dogs, and enough audio cables to shut down an entire broadcast. Somehow the dog behaves better than its owner.Meanwhile, one of us spends the weekend at Innsbrook, where a mysterious painting crashes to the floor at 4:15 in the morning immediately after watching old episodes of Unsolved Mysteries. Was it gravity? Was it ghosts? Was Robert Stack involved? We may never know.And then comes one of the wildest stories we've heard in a while. A heavily armed prepper moves into a new rental home, goes to sleep, and wakes up to find a man standing over his bed. The story somehow gets even crazier when it turns out the "intruder" is a realtor innocently showing the house because of a paperwork mistake. Nobody gets hurt, but everyone involved definitely needs a nap and probably therapy.Elsewhere in this daily comedy chaos:We debate whether Innsbrook is basically the Hamptons of St. Louis.Tim goes full cowboy mode at a Taylor Swift and Dolly Parton-themed party.Riz and Rafe perform a deeply uncomfortable rendition of "Islands in the Stream" at a wedding.Father's Day gifts range from practical torches to futuristic neck fans that look slightly ridiculous but feel amazing.We discuss alpha-gal syndrome, heat waves in Paris, and why every town in southern Illinois suddenly seems to be thriving.Basically, if your week has already gone off the rails and it's only Monday, this daily comedy episode is here to remind you that everyone else is figuring it out as they go too.Follow The Rizzuto Show → https://linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → https://1057thepoint.com/RizzShow.Hear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

A new Education Review Office report says most teens enrolled in various forms of alternative education leave without any qualifications and too many go on to benefits or crime.

With several young players beginning to emerge and contribute at the major league level, the Angels find themselves at a crossroads.

Brando Babini started a company at 16 because the thing he needed didn't exist. Five years later he's running it from a train seat between Brown and Brooklyn — 1,000 players, a Nike partnership, and 30 million views he shot and edited himself. This one's about how he actually does it.Brando is 21, still finishing his degree, and building Youth 4 Youth FC into one of the largest player-led soccer organizations in the country. He spotted the gap from his own playing career — no mentor, no one who'd walked the path ahead of him — and built the thing he wished he'd had. The 2026 World Cup is on U.S. soil right now and the whole country's suddenly paying attention to soccer.

What an attorney who reviews NIL deals sees in the contracts, and what college athletes may be signing away.Philip Sheng is an attorney at Venable LLP, a national firm of roughly 900 lawyers, where he works in the intellectual property group and the sports law practice. His focus is college NIL, the right of publicity, and college eligibility. Venable also advised Taylor Swift through her fight to control her music and re-record her catalog. Sheng notes that was the firm's matter rather than his own, but the throughline is the same question he now works on in college sports: who owns a person's name, image, and likeness, and what they give up when they sign.This is the on-the-ground legal view of NIL. For the full breakdown of how the system works, start with The NIL Hub, NIL Rules in 2026, and NIL Pros and Cons. This episode is narrower. It is what a practicing attorney sees inside the deals themselves.Eric Kasimov talks with Sheng about NIL as both a legal and an athlete-centered issue. They get into whether NIL is really athlete compensation, intellectual property, or both, and why the issue was known as the right of publicity long before college sports made it a household term. Sheng has lived the landscape from several sides. He played tennis at Stanford, competed as an ATP-ranked professional, and now has children navigating college athletics, including Division I basketball and tennis.TopicsNIL as intellectual property and the right of publicityThe College Sports Commission and how it reviews NIL dealsThe Nebraska and PlayFly case, and why the contracts were the problemWhy even a small NIL deal needs its rights language reviewedHow brands can work with role players, not only star athletesRoster cuts in non-revenue sports like tennis and swimmingHigh school NIL, state-by-state rules, and protecting minorsSports betting, college students, and the value of staying in schoolChapters in This Episode00:00 Philip Sheng's background in law, tennis, and college sports00:36 Venable LLP, intellectual property, NIL, and sports law02:11 NIL as right of publicity03:15 Stanford, conference realignment, and athlete travel04:13 The burden on student-athletes06:29 What college sports used to be for07:00 Money, transfers, and the changing athlete experience09:20 NIL checks, taxes, and athlete education09:36 Bad agents and why guidance matters12:25 Has NIL gone too far?13:00 Congress, courts, media, fans, and pressure to change16:11 Money, rosters, and the college experience19:05 What the College Sports Commission does20:00 Fair market value, valid business purpose, and NIL deal review20:55 Nebraska, PlayFly, and unclear NIL contracts22:39 Why the Nebraska case was not just bad paperwork23:40 Why other schools are watching25:00 Lawyers, arbitration costs, and legal representation26:18 Sheng's view of the CSC and NCAA enforcement28:46 College football playoff expansion and media money31:00 What happens if schools sell marquee games differently32:43 Why championships still matter34:50 Sheng's work with non-revenue sports and NIL contracts36:08 Why brands should look beyond star athletes38:47 Are NIL contracts becoming standardized?39:45 Why athletes need contract review40:38 Rights, music, Taylor Swift, and long-term ownership42:02 College tennis, roster cuts, and non-revenue sports44:29 International athletes and college tennis47:25 Similar issues in soccer and goalkeeper recruiting48:00 High school NIL and state-by-state rules49:37 Youth sports, money, and family pressure50:29 Sports betting, college students, and addiction risk52:00 Athlete data, betting markets, and protection54:00 The cost and value of college55:00 Why athletes should not discount the college experience57:25 Athletic fees, non-athletes, and campus tension58:57 Burnout, injuries, and changing paths59:28 Where to find Philip ShengAbout Philip ShengPhilip Sheng is an attorney at Venable LLP, where he works in the firm's intellectual property group and sports law practice.

My mother used to tell me, "Never underestimate the power of 'I'll show them.'" So many personalities who have succeeded in life have, have at one point or another, been considered losers—and they thought, "I'll show them," and they put their full attention into improving themselves in one area or another. Michael Jordan, for instance, was cut from his high school basketball team. So, the third way in which—and I am just talking about having a strong decision at the beginning of your activity—you can solidify it is to give up what we call "mistaken unchangeability." Another way of saying it is: 'assume it can be done.' Because oftentimes, people feel, "Other people can do something, but I can't." One has to give that up. In other words, you have to banish that feeling from your mind or heart—that other people can be successful but I can't. As it is mentioned in the Vedānta-sūtra by Śrīla Vyāsadeva, the Śāstras tell us that we should improve ourselves and we should reach the highest perfection of life. He says, therefore, we should assume that we can do it, because the Śāstras are speaking to all of us, and it would be illogical to think we cannot do it if the Śāstras say we can. Sometimes people might think, for instance, that it is not possible for me to become a pure devotee; "It's not possible for me to chant 16 rounds; it's not possible for me to read the Bhāgavatam all the way through." There may be many worthy services to do, but we think, "I can't do that." That, you have to put aside. "I can't write a book." What else might you think you cannot do?

Solomon teaches that while life is often unpredictable and unfair, we are not called to sit still in fear but to live wisely and faithfully. He encourages generous giving, consistent habits, calculated risks, and trusting God with outcomes we cannot control, knowing that faithful choices often bear fruit over time. He also warns against letting anger, bitterness, and vexation take root, comparing them to a poison that slowly shapes the heart. Instead, believers are called to cultivate joy, gratitude, spiritual disciplines, and a heavenly perspective, choosing daily to bless others, reject resentment, and walk in wisdom despite life's uncertainties.

Each week you'll hear an honest, grace-filled and encouraging message. By openly sharing from the Word and real life examples of the Father's love, you'll know that God is on your side and there is an entire community of people at our church that is cheering you on, praying for you, and standing with you in life. We meet every Sunday at 10:30 a.m. at 10925 Trail Haven Road in Rogers.Our Kid's Ministry is open for ages Birth-Grade 4.We also offer a Youth service every Wednesday night at 7 p.m. For more information, visit us at lwcc.org/northwest.To give a financial gift, simply text GIVE to 763.325.1010.Support the show

April 26, 2026 - Equipped 2026 - Day 4 - 10:30 AM Session   This episode is a classroom-style apologetics lecture that tackles the three central questions of the Christian faith: Is there a God? Is the Bible from God? Is Jesus the Son of God? Led by an instructor in apologetics, the talk walks listeners through clear, memorable arguments and practical steps for explaining and defending Christian belief. On the first question—Is there a God? —the speaker presents the Kalam (prolonged cosmological) argument: whatever begins to exist has a cause; the universe began to exist; therefore, the universe has a cause. He explains supporting scientific and philosophical points (including the second law of thermodynamics) and draws out the attributes such a cause must have—immaterial, timeless, spaceless, and immensely powerful—linking those attributes to the biblical picture of God. On the second question—Is the Bible from God? —the lecture uses a Thomas B. Warren-style argument: if Scripture contains information that could not be of human origin, it is from God. The instructor surveys feature of Scripture that point beyond mere human authorship—remarkable unity across 40 authors and 1,500 years, examples of scientific foreknowledge (e.g., Job 26:7), deep moral and spiritual teaching, and especially fulfilled prophecy. Isaiah 53 is treated in detail as a powerful predictive text fulfilled in the life, death, burial, and vindication of Jesus. On the third question—Is Jesus the Son of God? —the episode adopts the minimal facts approach: presenting five historical facts widely accepted by skeptical scholars (Jesus' death by crucifixion, the disciples' belief they saw the risen Jesus, Paul's conversion, James's conversion, and the empty tomb) and showing that the best explanation for these facts is Jesus' bodily resurrection. The lecturer addresses alternative theories (hallucination, swoon, theft, fabrication) and explains why they fail to account for all the evidence. Key takeaways and practical application are emphasized throughout: faith is not a blind leap into darkness but a step into the light of evidence; memorize and practice succinct arguments (the handout provided lists core claims and blanks to fill); be ready to give an answer (1 Peter 3:15); and take concrete next steps—identify the question you're least sure about, focus on the most compelling argument you encountered, and start a conversation with someone who is asking these questions. The instructor also invites listeners to continue studying apologetics for deeper engagement.   Duration 45:25

May 31, 2026 - Sunday PM Service   This episode captures a youth-led evening service featuring prayers, scripture readings, hymns, and a heartfelt message from a recent high‑school graduate. Guests and participants include closing-prayer leader Corbin, Travis, devotionals from Cooper and Maddox, and several young men leading the service. The program blends announcements, communal worship, and a Gospel-centered talk focused on living out Christlike humility. Worship included classic and contemporary songs—"Jesus Loves Me," "Mansion Over the Hilltop," "God Is So Good," "I'll Fly Away," "Higher Ground," and "You Are Holy"—along with communal prayers and the Lord's Supper. Multiple prayers asked for the sick and shut‑ins, guidance for speakers, and strength for the young leaders as they serve the congregation. Scripture readings were Philippians 2:3–5, Matthew 5:14–16, and Galatians 6:9–10. The central sermon theme examined the phrase “do nothing from selfish ambition,” contrasting worldly ambition with the call to look outward, serve others, and pursue humility. Speakers emphasized that accomplishments fade but lives touched for Christ endure, urged the congregation not to grow weary in doing good, and reminded listeners that the seeds we plant in daily acts of kindness will yield a spiritual harvest. Key takeaways: pursue ambition for Christ rather than recognition, practice quiet acts of service (even when no one is watching), let your light shine so others glorify God, and remain faithful in planting seeds of love and generosity. The episode ends with an invitation to respond to the Gospel, share prayer requests, and a closing encouragement for all listeners—especially young people—to start sowing now and live as visible reflections of God's love.   Duration 28:22

The government's Conservation Amendment Bill includes plans to sell up to 60% of New Zealand's conservation land. The government argues that much of this land is not your typical conservation land - rather that it includes farmland and other unused areas without ecological benefits.  The bill's opponents, however, say this isn't the full story, and that the government's criteria for sale opens room to sell large portions of land currently inhabited by our native flora and fauna. The policy also paves the way for further sales of conservation land, especially concerning because of the minimal public influence on the decision, despite the fact that it affects public assets.  The concerns are further compounded by the release of a Curia Market Research poll this morning on public support for the sale of conservation land. Not only are the majority of the population opposed, but this opposition extends to the majority of National and ACT voters and half of NZ First voters.  Youth unemployment is also an issue in the news cycle this week, with rates at a thirty year high. Despite this government being in power for almost three years, improvements are difficult to find.  Lastly, last week saw announcements that Flying Out Record Store and Neck of the Woods will both be closing. These announcements follow the closure of Verona Cafe and Bar and the cancellation of The Others Way festival for 2026. With Auckland's arts and culture funding seeing cuts each year, there are calls for the government to take action to support these businesses and communities. For this week's catch-up with the ACT Party's Simon Court, News Director Castor asked about each of these issues, beginning with the Conservation Amendment Bill.

How did Roblox turn user-generated play into one of the most important youth platforms in the world? Why do children experience virtual spaces as real social infrastructure? Can a company monetize children's attention, creativity, and social lives while credibly protecting them? And what does Roblox reveal about the future of youth mental health, digital wellbeing, and platform accountability?

Join us this week on “Honest to God” as we explore the question: What is the real war on women? Looking beyond cultural slogans and popular narratives, we examine the unique dignity, vocation, and irreplaceable gifts of women through the lens of the Catholic faith.

Championship coaching is not just about holding a trophy at the end of the season. It is about having a system, clear standards, organized practices, and the right tools when your team needs them most. In this episode, Coach breaks down why he built teachhoops.com and how it helps coaches stop guessing, stop chasing random drills, and start coaching with purpose. Most coaches are not losing because they do not care. They care deeply. They watch film.They plan late at night.They text players.They deal with parents.They try to fix turnovers, rebounding, defense, culture, and leadership. The problem is not effort. The problem is overload. That is why coaches need a system. A championship coach has: A clear identity A practice plan with purpose Standards that do not change when things get hard A way to diagnose problems A system for player development Tools for culture, leadership, and communication Confidence walking into the gym each day Championship coaching is not magic. It is clarity, consistency, standards, and preparation. Everybody can find a drill. But a drill without a purpose is just activity. Activity is not the same as improvement. Championship coaches do not just run drills. They build habits. And habits are built through organized, intentional practice. teachhoops.com helps coaches stop staring at a blank practice plan and wondering what to do next. It gives coaches access to: Practice plans Offensive ideas Defensive systems Culture tools Player development resources Special situations Parent communication tools Leadership frameworks Season and offseason planning ideas If your team is turning the ball over, the average coach says: “We need to take care of the ball.” The championship coach asks: Why are we turning it over? Is it spacing?Weak catches?No pivots?Too much dribbling?Poor passing angles?Pressure we did not prepare for? Once you diagnose the real problem, you can actually coach the solution. The playbook is not always the hardest part. The hardest part is: Getting players to buy in Getting them to talk Getting them to compete Getting them to respond after mistakes Getting them to accept roles Getting them to care about the little things That is culture. And culture is not a poster. Culture is what you practice. teachhoops.com is built for: Young coaches who need a foundation Experienced coaches who want to tighten details Youth coaches who need structure High school coaches building a full program Coaches tired of guessing every week Coaches who want tools they can actually use tomorrow Coaching is hard enough — you do not need to do it alone More information is not always the answer A better system creates better coaching Random practices create random teams Systems create freedom, confidence, and clarity Championship coaching starts with preparation and standards Stop trying to become a better coach by only collecting more information. Become a better coach by building a better system. Use the plans.Use the templates.Use the culture tools.Take what fits your team and make it yours.

Girls who were close to their dads at 16 or 17 had better mental health at age 33 — a finding from a 17-year longitudinal study. Boys with close relationships with their fathers are three times less likely to struggle with behavioral issues, anxiety, or depression. Ahead of Father's Day, Dr. Danny Huerta, VP of Parenting and Youth at Focus on the Family, joins Brian From to unpack what he calls "the dad effect" — and the research backing it up. Danny walks through what good fathering actually looks like in practice (hint: not perfection, but intentional presence, self-control, and consistent guidance), offers five mindsets dads can grow into, and gets personal about the hard transition of watching his own kids leave home and get married. He also has a direct word for dads who feel like they've already dropped the ball: you're not alone, and it's never too late to ask your kid the question, "What's one thing you wish I knew about you?"

Proverbs 30:24 talks about how the locusts go out in ranks and.they have no king. Youth sports has become a lot about putting a spotlight on the individual kid instead of working together in unity like the locusts do. The locusts have no preferential treatment and they do what's best the group. The gravitational pull in our culture is pulling for ourselves but when the Lord gets a hold of us, we should get under people and lift them to the standard that Jesus set.

On this Make A Difference Minute, I talk with Arryana Chestnut, founder and executive director of So Fresh & So Clean Haircuts 4 Youth, about an effort that goes far beyond fresh fades and clean cuts.

From tie-tying lessons to college and career conversations, this program is helping cultivate distinguished young men one haircut at a time. It's a reminder that sometimes a chair, a conversation, and someone willing to invest can make a lasting difference. This MADM is brought to you by J.

“We can rejoice, too, when we run into problems and trials, for we know that they help us develop endurance. And endurance develops strength of character, and character strengthens our confident hope of salvation. And this hope will not lead to disappointment. For we know how dearly God loves us, because he has given us the Holy Spirit to fill our hearts with his love.” (Romans 5:3–5 NLT) Benjamin Disraeli, a former prime minister of Great Britain, once said, “Youth is a blunder; Manhood a struggle, Old Age a regret.” Maybe that seems like a dim view of existence, but there are a lot of people who would agree with his assessment. In a fallen world, there is no vacation from human suffering and tragedy. Many deep-thinking people have tried to sort out this reality, understand it, and explain it. C. S. Lewis called it “the problem of pain.” What we need to understand in considering this problem is that there is a God who, even in the worst tragedy, can bring good out of bad. As believers, we acknowledge that life can be bad. We acknowledge that bad things can happen. We acknowledge that tragedies can come into our lives. But we also acknowledge that God is sovereign, which means He’s in control. And we acknowledge that ultimately God can cause all things to work together for good to those who love Him and are called according to His purpose (see Romans 8:28). Some people cling to the mistaken notion that because they’re Christians, they won’t suffer. They may not state it outright, but they believe that bad things won’t happen to them. However, Jesus dispelled that notion when He said, “I have told you all this so that you may have peace in me. Here on earth you will have many trials and sorrows. But take heart, because I have overcome the world” (John 16:33 NLT). As we consider the cost of following Christ, we must acknowledge that suffering is part of it. Despite Jesus’ warning, many believers have a hard time putting the words trials, problems, and God loves me into one sentence because they just don’t seem to go together. But let’s look at God’s endgame. Is it to make us happy in the temporal or make us holy in the eternal? Is it to keep us always earthbound or to prepare us for Heaven? The answer in both cases is the second option. The apostle Paul explained it this way: “We can rejoice, too, when we run into problems and trials, for we know that they help us develop endurance. And endurance develops strength of character, and character strengthens our confident hope of salvation. And this hope will not lead to disappointment. For we know how dearly God loves us, because he has given us the Holy Spirit to fill our hearts with his love” (Romans 5:3–5 NLT). God allows suffering to occur. And while no suffering is good, He can bring good from suffering. Reflection question: When have you seen God bring good from a situation that was anything but good?

Adam and Ethan look into the rise of a youth-led political movement in India that has made the lowly cockroach a key figure in the current political landscape in the country of India. What started with a joke response to remarks made by one of India's top justices has quickly grown into a legitimate threat the reign of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, whose time in office has been plagued by broken promises and rampant youth unemployment. Can founder Abhijeet Dipke turn the online attention into real world opposition to the Modi regime, or is the Cockroach Janata Party just a viral moment in history fueled by social media antics? To get the full episode and future episodes follow What In The World at any of these places!Spreaker: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/what-in-the-world--7104437Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/id1896923936Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/033xTvgeDUckV1CxdiPS7CiHeartRadio: https://iheart.com/podcast/336718264Amazon: https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/fbeac0ce-a22a-4f15-adf8-66c163d6b5d5Deezer: https://www.deezer.com/show/1003246141Podcast Addict: https://podcastaddict.com/podcast/what-in-the-world/7084390

Please embrace it as your own and share it with your friends. This new version of For the Strength of Youth is subtitled A Guide for Making Choices. To be very clear, the best guide you can possibly have for making choices is Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ is the strength of youth. So the purpose of For the Strength of Youth is to point you to Him. It teaches you eternal truths of His restored gospel—truths about who you are, who He is, and what you can accomplish with His strength. It teaches you how to make righteous choices based on those eternal truths.13 It's also important to know what For the Strength of Youth does not do. It doesn't make decisions for you. It doesn't give you a “yes” or “no” about every choice you might ever face. For the Strength of Youth focuses on the foundation for your choices. It focuses on values, principles, and doctrine instead of every specific behavior. The Lord, through His prophets, has always been guiding us in that direction. He is pleading with us to “increase [our] spiritual capacity to receive revelation.”14 He is inviting us to “hear Him.”15 He is calling us to follow Him in higher and holier ways.16 And we are learning in a similar way every week in Come, Follow Me.     ACU Endorsed Charities -------------------------------------------------------- Pre-Born!

Today, our interdenominational Christian ministry serves the poor in primarily 17 countries throughout the Caribbean and Latin America. Thanks to our faithful donors, we are able to provide food, housing, healthcare, education, fresh water, emergency relief, micro-enterprise solutions and much more. We are proud to have fed millions of people and provided more than 15.7 billion dollars in aid. Our faith inspires us to be an organization built on compassion, and motivated by love. Our mission is to bring relief to the poorest of the poor in the countries where we serve. We strive to reflect God's unconditional love. It's a sacrificial love that embraces all people regardless of race or religion. We believe that we can show His love by serving the “least of these” on this earth as Christ challenged us to do in Matthew 25. We pray that by God's grace, and with your support, we can continue to bring relief to the suffering and hope to the hopeless.
