GoviEx Uranium Inc (TSX-V: GXU, OTCQB: GVXXF) CEO Daniel Major spoke with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the company's future following the Supreme Court of British Columbia's approval of its arrangement with Tombador Iron. Major described the transaction as “transformational” for GoviEx, built around four key pillars: improved access to capital, enhanced technical expertise, a refreshed leadership team, and a streamlined share structure. He noted that the company's upcoming ASX listing, under the new name Atomic Eagle, will place it alongside peers such as Deep Yellow and Bannerman, giving it exposure to a market that understands African uranium projects. The new entity will start with A$10.5 million in cash from Tombador and an additional A$10 million raised through the transaction—funds that will support continued exploration and development of GoviEx's Muntanga Project in Zambia. Major also highlighted the importance of Matador Capital becoming a significant shareholder group, bringing a track record of success from projects including Boss and Lotus. “We needed to complement our existing strengths—and this partnership achieves exactly that,” he said. The deal received overwhelming shareholder support, with 99% voting in favour. For investors, no action is required during the transition.

Welcome to episode 118 of The Journey Is the Reward!We want to dive right into the main topic this week, but first, let's address the elephant in the control tower.We have zero listener feedback, the best part of the show when you write in. No questions from Listener Lu, the second-best part of the show. So it seems like the digital winds are calm, or maybe everyone is too busy packing their bags for our next adventure.  Who knows…While the feedback section is experiencing a bit of radio silence, our listener audience is absolutely booming! We have a new listener in Zambia!Seriously, huge congratulations to friend-of-the-show and all-around super-helpful listener, Connie, who has given birth to a beautiful 7.25-pound baby boy! That's right, Connie, you've successfully completed the most demanding international flight of all, and landed a perfect new human. Welcome to the world, little one! We thank you, Connie, for helping us grow our audience!If you'd like to help Connie and the baby with a small fuel surcharge contribution, please send an email to Brian at Brian@TheJourneyIsTheReward.org, and he'll give you the information for a contribution via Remitly.Forget the gate agents, we are skipping the pre-flight checks and jumping right into the main event: The Journey Is The Reward listener trip to Southern Africa!The journey began with a bit of a turbulence warning courtesy of Ethiopian Airlines, but your intrepid host, Brian, was able to level the wings and resolve the issues before taking a United flight to Johannesburg. A quick stop to visit Momma Coleman in New Jersey for some essential pre-flight nourishment (and probably a very stern warning about remembering his fleece and passport), and then he was officially airborne.The stress of international travel only continued with a tight connection in South Africa—the kind of connection that makes you wish you had an afterburner installed on your carry-on luggage. But thanks to the super-friendly airport staff, Brian was able to successfully navigate the terminal like seasoned ground crew, making his gate just in time. Upon final arrival in Cape Town, South Africa, Brian finally met up with Barb, Malin, Jim, and Gerrit for the start of three days of city sightseeing and country wine tasting.Stay tuned to hear how Brian managed to keep his V-speeds in check while tasting all that excellent South African vino!And as always, our ears are blessed by the utterly soul-stirring, goosebump-inducing sounds of the Madalitso Youth Choir! Their Welcome and Goodbye songs, recorded straight from the Royal Livingston Hotel in Zambia, are pure magic.

I greet you in Jesus' precious name! It is Monday morning, 27th October 2025, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for today. We start in the Book of Exodus 25:8:”And let them make Me a sanctuary, that I may dwell among them. According to all that I show you, that is, the pattern of the tabernacle and the pattern of all its furnishings, just so you shall make it.” Then we go to the Gospel of Mark 1:35:”Now in the morning, having risen a long while before daylight, He went out and departed to a “solitary place; and there He prayed.” Do you have a solitary place where you meet with God every morning? It is very important, especially in this hectic lifestyle that we are living in at present. I want to tell you about a place called a poustinia. It is a Russian word for a quiet time place. It literally means a desert place. Yes, a physical one but also a spiritual one. Do you have a place where you can come aside on your own, where the family doesn't come and distract you, or anybody, and spend undivided time with the Lord every day? A poustinia is a quiet place to contemplate, to think about, a place to encounter God. It's a place where you remove all distractions. It's a place for solitude and prayer. It's not a thing, it is a practice. Now, I want to tell you about my poustinia. When I travel, it is very busy. Sometimes I have to change planes, I have to wait in the departure lounge, maybe sometimes for an hour, two hours before I go to the next appointment to preach, and it is very busy. Then I close my eyes and go into my spiritual quiet time place, my poustinia, and I will describe it to you: There's a place up in Zambia where they buried the heart of Dr David Livingstone after he died, and I went and spent time there. Now you walk down this little path and on the left hand side you'll find a big log. I sit there quietly. I hear the birds singing. There's a gentle breeze blowing the reeds and I pray and I spend time with God and refresh myself.Then I hear on the overhead speakers, ”Flight number 256, flying to Nashville, Tennessee, is now boarding through Gate number 25.” I get up, take my bags and I move on. I am refreshed. I have spent time with Jesus.You need to do the same today.God bless you and goodbye.

What does it look like for a church's budget, bylaws, and building to reflect the values of justice and faith? In this episode of the Future Christian Podcast, host Loren Richmond Jr. speaks with Rev. Dr. Sheryl Johnson, theologian, ethicist, and author of Serving Money, Serving God: Aligning Radical Justice, Christian Practice, and Church Life (Fortress Press, 2023). Together they explore how churches can move beyond good intentions to embody justice through everyday practices—especially around finance, fundraising, stewardship, and administration. They discuss: Why church administration is theological, not just logistical How job postings and pay scales reveal a congregation's real values The pitfalls of donor-centered fundraising and better alternatives Honest communication about money, failure, and hope How churches can make ethical decisions about property and buildings What it means to see the local church as a foretaste of God's reign Sheryl challenges pastors and leaders to re-imagine what “faithful stewardship” truly means in today's world—where economic justice, transparency, and collaboration are essential for credible ministry. Sheryl Johnson (she/her) is a settler on Ohlone land and was born in Treaty 1 Territory in what is colonially known as Winnipeg, Canada. She began teaching at Pacific Lutheran Theological Seminary in the fall of 2020, as she was defending her PhD in Theology and Ethics at Graduate Theological Union. Her dissertation focused on the intersections of social justice (racial, economic, gender, etc) and ecclesial practices (specifically stewardship, finance, and polity). A book based on her dissertation, Serving Money, Serving God:  Aligning Radical Justice, Christian Practice, and Church Life, was published by Fortress Press in 2023. Sheryl is an ordained minister in the United Church of Canada, with dual standing in the United Church of Christ. Sheryl has served several congregations, campus ministries, ecumenical advocacy organizations (especially KAIROS: Canadian Ecumenical Justice Initiatives and the Student Christian Movement/World Student Christian Federation), and global church partners (specifically the National Council of Churches of the Philippines and People's Action Forum in Zambia), in addition to her academic work. She completed her M.Div and MPS degrees at Emmanuel College, University of Toronto and also completed a Certificate of Specialization in Theology and Ecology at the University of St. Michael's College during her theological studies. Sheryl is passionate about embodied, participatory, and critical pedagogies and supporting students to make connections between justice commitments and vocational practices.    Mentioned Resources:

What if the very season meant to break you became the furnace that forged you? We open with urgency and prayer, then step straight into a mission bigger than any one room: equip millions to reach billions. From a powerful Zambia report—marked by excellence, unity, and notable miracles—to the unscripted courage of speaking faith in hotel lobbies and restaurants, we map how ordinary moments become the staging ground for the extraordinary.Our guest brings a courageous, unfiltered story of betrayal, pregnancy, and the question that haunts the hardest nights: fight for the marriage or accept release. David's cave seasons frame the journey—innocence tested, purpose refined. At the altar, God returns the heart piece by piece, turning what should have killed into the strength to stand. In the middle of these hard truths, we move from testimony to intercession, praying in multiple languages and calling life into stalled callings, silent dreams, and weary minds.Psalm 91 anchors the promise: habitation over hesitation. Terror by night and arrows by day don't vanish, but trust reclaims the ground fear occupied. If you move, God moves with you. That means bold, clear words in everyday spaces, and a firm refusal to get up off your knees. For listeners who crave more than inspiration, we unveil a new subscription tier featuring crusade-only teachings and prophetic sessions—deeper training for those ready to lead, pray, and create testimonies on purpose.Lean in, breathe, and let hope rise. Share this with someone standing in a messy middle. Then subscribe, leave a review, and tell us the promise you're standing on this week—your story could be the spark someone else needs.We love to hear from our listeners!

For the past year, Siphesihle Magagula has been going door-to-door selling solar power. He convinced nearly all of his neighbours to buy a basic solar kit, bringing lights to about 400 homes for the first time. His neighborhood, Nomzamo, never had electricity before — despite being close to South Africa's biggest coal mines and power stations.  But some of his clients are disappointed. Their solar kits don't have enough power to run fridges or TVs.

I greet you in Jesus' precious name! It is Wednesday morning, the 15th of October, 2025, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for today. We start in the Book of John 1:15: “John bore witness of Him and cried out, saying, “This was He of whom I said, ‘He who comes after me is preferred before me, for He was before me.' ” (John the Baptist talking about Jesus Christ). Then we go to the Gospel of Matthew 18:4: “Therefore whoever humbles himself as this little child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.”We are talking today about humility. I have heard humility described as controlled strength. A humble person doesn't have to be a soft person. What do they say about Moses? They said the softest part of Moses was his teeth! If you don't understand what I am saying, young person, ask your dad. He will tell you. He was a tough man to lead the whole nation through the desert for forty years. John the Baptist, there was nothing soft about him, but the amazing thing is, Jesus says, ”There has never been a man born from the womb of a woman, greater than John the Baptist.” What a compliment, coming from the Master!I want to tell you a little story. I read a book called, “Take Your glory Lord.” It was the life story of a Zulu pastor who lived down in the South Coast of Kwazulu-Natal, South Africa. His name was William Duma. He was an extremely anointed preacher and had a wonderful healing ministry. He was invited up into Zambia, to preach at a Baptist churc,h and the church was packed on that Sunday morning. They were all waiting to hear the word of God from this man from South Africa, and he was late! 9 o'clock came and there was no sign of him. The pastor of the church was worried. He thought, “I will just have to pull one of my sermons out of my top pocket” because he just wasn't coming. Then all of a sudden, he heard a knock-knock through the curtain that separated the back door, where the cleaning lady would come in and where everything was stored. He went through the curtain, opened the door and there was the man of God, standing at the servant's entrance - humility!Today, go out and be humble. Be humble, prefer your fellowman to yourself. Don't forget the older people. Don't forget to take care of the young children, and Jesus Christ will do the rest!God bless you and goodbye.

They talk about how it can be flexibly implemented and adapted to diverse countries, communities and contexts in response to needs-with CETA clients ranging from people with HIV in Zambia, to pregnant and lactating mothers in the Thai Burmese border.CETA is a transdiagnostic system of care; starting with a brief assessment that helps triage and create a clinical care pathway, along with ongoing monitoring and evaluation. It is evidence-based for all ages (children, youth and adults) and is built from evidence-based CBT-cognitive behavioural therapy elements. It is meant to streamline and simplify care – moving away from siloed assessments and treatments (or those that assess or treat only one problem area).Key resources for practitioners:www.cetaglobal.orgwww.ceta-global.comRead more about the research:Evaluation of phone-delivered psychotherapy for refugee childrenResearch Snapshot: Can a mental health intervention help people in humanitarian settings manage chronic diseases?Integrating an evidence-based mental health intervention into non-communicable disease care (coming soon)Evidence from the Frontline: Mental Health in Crisis-Affected Contexts is a six-episode mini-series produced in collaboration between the MHPSS Hub and Elrha, designed for practitioners working in humanitarian and crisis contexts, the series highlights impactful interventions and practical insights from experts in the field.

Donate (no account necessary) | Subscribe (account required) Join Bryan Dean Wright, former CIA Operations Officer, as he dives into today's top stories shaping America and the world. In this episode of The Wright Report, we cover a major breakthrough in Alaska's mineral wars, a new AI scandal in Silicon Valley, the collapse of illegal crossings at America's southern border, a Supreme Court showdown over free speech and therapy laws, shocking new evidence of Biden family corruption, major trade and infrastructure deals from Central Asia to Africa, and the hidden health threat of microplastics. From Alaska's mining roads to Kazakhstan's railways and Germany's labs, today's brief connects America's economic revival to global corruption and the future of health and technology.   Trump Greenlights Alaska's Ambler Road and Trilogy Metals Stake: President Trump approved a fast-track permit for the Ambler Road and bought a 10 percent federal stake in Trilogy Metals, unlocking Alaska's copper, cobalt, and germanium reserves. The Ambler Mining District could make America less dependent on China for critical minerals. Bryan calls it “the most underreported but crucial story of the week.”   AI Model Claude Knows When It's Being Tested: Anthropic's Claude chatbot told researchers, “I think you're testing me,” revealing situational self-awareness and manipulation patterns similar to OpenAI's “scheming” models. Bryan warns, “The machines are beginning to recognize us — and that should terrify everyone.”   Illegal Border Crossings Hit 50-Year Low: CBS confirms crossings are at their lowest since 1970, with Trump's monthly totals down to 9,000 compared to Biden's 238,000 per month last year. Bryan argues the data “proves Biden's border crisis was a choice — a deliberate policy of demographic change.”   Supreme Court Hears Conversion Therapy Free Speech Case: Evangelical therapist Kaley Chiles challenged Colorado's ban on discussing faith-based counseling. Both conservative and liberal justices, including Elena Kagan, seemed to side with her on First Amendment grounds. Bryan recalls the 1977 ACLU defense of Nazi speech in Skokie, noting, “It's conservatives defending free speech now, not liberals.”   Biden Family Corruption in Ukraine and Romania: A declassified CIA report shows Ukrainian officials viewed Joe Biden's 2015 visit as “evidence of U.S. double standards on corruption” given Hunter's Burisma ties. Days earlier, Hunter and James Biden tried cutting a land deal in Romania tied to criminal charges. Bryan says, “This was a criminal racket, not a family — and they pardoned themselves.”   Trump's $4.2 Billion Locomotive Deal with Kazakhstan: Forbes reports the U.S. will sell 300 locomotives to Kazakhstan's Wabtec, while Trump's new “TRIPP Corridor” from Asia to Europe blocks China's Belt and Road trade route. “The White House is playing chess in Central Asia — one rail deal at a time,” Bryan notes.   Africa's Diamond Collapse and U.S. Opportunity: As Botswana's diamond market crashes, Trump eyes a rail deal connecting Zambia to Botswana to secure uranium and rare earths for U.S. industry.   Ukraine Using Drones Supplied by Kyiv Against Russia in Mali: AFP confirms Ukrainian intelligence is arming rebels, some tied to al Qaeda and ISIS, in Mali to target Russian and Chinese contractors.   German Scientists Warn on Microplastics and Gut Health: Researchers found that plastics change gut bacteria in ways resembling depression and cancer. Bryan invites listener feedback: “Better we talk about this now — before we learn the hard way.”   "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." - John 8:32     Keywords: Trump Ambler Road Alaska, Trilogy Metals federal stake, Alaska copper cobalt germanium, Anthropic Claude AI awareness, OpenAI scheming AI safety, CBS border crossings 50-year low, Biden border policy demographics, Kaley Chiles Colorado therapy case Supreme Court, ACLU Skokie Nazi free speech 1977, Joe Biden Hunter Burisma CIA report, James Biden Romania land deal, Trump Kazakhstan Wabtec locomotives TRIPP corridor, Botswana diamond collapse, Ukraine Mali drones al Qaeda ISIS, German microplastics gut health study

He shares insights from the event, including an address by Secretary Doug Burgum, who gave a pitch for the Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library as a conference venue once it opens in July 2026. Hennen also discusses new technology for mammograms that eliminates discomfort and mentions meeting Kimball Musk, who is interested in donating to the library. He makes the case that technology like "intelligence factories" could help North Dakota's economy to the point of generating enough revenue for zero property and income taxes.   The show dedicates time to the two-year anniversary of the October 7th attack in Israel, with Hennen lamenting that the event has largely been forgotten by many. He later interviews Father Phil Ackerman, a Fargo Diocese priest who was in Bethlehem during the attack and recounts his group's challenging journey to safety.   Hennen and guest David Fisher, CEO of Landmark Capital, discuss the ongoing government shutdown, describing it as a stalemate with Democrats wanting to keep at least $1.7 trillion in spending from the Biden era. Fisher cites examples of what he considers wasteful spending, such as $3 million for circumcision and vasectomies in Zambia and $3.6 million for cooking classes for male prostitutes in Haiti.

Summary This meeting record transcript is a conversation between a host and Dr. Michael Sutherland, the membership director of the American College of Surgeons (ACS). The discussion covers various aspects of the ACS, including its mission, membership benefits, educational resources, advocacy efforts, international outreach programs, and the annual Clinical Congress event. Dr. Sutherland shares his personal journey of getting involved with the ACS as a resident and highlights the opportunities for surgeons at different career stages to participate and contribute to the organization. He emphasizes the value proposition of ACS membership, which includes access to discounted insurance programs, practice management resources, coding and reimbursement support, and personal financial management services. The ACS is described as the largest surgical organization in the world, representing over 92,000 members across 13 surgical specialties. Its mission is to safeguard the standards of surgical practice and elevate the quality of care through various programs, registries, and data-driven initiatives. The organization also plays a crucial role in advocacy and health policy, engaging with government agencies and insurance companies to shape policies that impact surgical practice. Internationally, the ACS has chapters in over 120 countries and runs programs like ACS HOPE (Health Outreach in Underserved Areas) to enhance surgical education and workforce development in underserved regions.

Chapters Dr. Sutherland's Journey with the ACS 00:01:10 Dr. Sutherland shares his personal journey of getting involved with the ACS as a resident when the 80-hour work week was implemented. He started participating in discussions and committees, eventually becoming the chair of the Resident Associate Society and the Young Fellows Association. He emphasizes that the ACS offers opportunities for passionate individuals to engage and contribute to improving patient care and surgical quality. The Value Proposition of ACS Membership 00:18:22 Dr. Sutherland highlights various benefits and resources available to ACS members, including discounted insurance programs (life, disability, accidental death), practice management materials, contract negotiation services, personal financial management resources, coding and reimbursement support, and access to data-driven initiatives like surgical risk calculators. The goal is to provide value-added benefits that make ACS membership a worthwhile investment for surgeons. The ACS as the House of Surgery 00:08:33 The ACS is described as the largest surgical organization in the world, representing over 92,000 members across 13 surgical specialties. Its mission is to safeguard the standards of surgical practice and elevate the quality of care through various programs, registries, and data-driven initiatives. The organization has a strong voice in advocacy and health policy discussions, shaping policies that impact surgical practice. International Outreach and Education 00:11:29 The ACS has chapters in over 120 countries and runs programs like ACS HOPE (Health Outreach in Underserved Areas) to enhance surgical education and workforce development in underserved regions. The program has training hubs in countries like Ethiopia, Rwanda, and Zambia, where attending physicians and residents from the U.S. help educate local surgeons and build self-sustaining surgical capabilities. The Annual Clinical Congress 00:29:07 The Clinical Congress is highlighted as the premier event for the ACS, offering cutting-edge education from subject matter experts, vendor exhibits, surgical simulations, and social networking opportunities. Dr. Sutherland emphasizes the importance of networking and building lasting connections with peers at the event. The Congress also features named lectures, convocation ceremonies, and cultural experiences like the "Taste of the City" event. Engaging Younger Surgeons 00:41:12 Dr. Sutherland acknowledges the challenge of communicating the value proposition of ACS membership to younger surgeons, particularly residents and fellows.

Captain Dana is back in the cockpit, but this time, Brian's taking over the controls for the interview.

Recording date: 2nd October 2025Welcome back to Compass, Olive Resource Capital's weekly markets and portfolio insights show, hosted by Derek MacPherson (Executive Chairman) and Sam Pelaez (President, CEO & CIO). Each week, we cut through the noise in mining and metals, highlighting the most important macro developments and drilling down into the companies shaping our portfolio.In this episode, we unpack a week of pivotal news for both major gold producers and junior explorers. At the very top of the market, Newmont and Barrick—two of the world's largest gold companies—announced leadership changes on the same day. Newmont's move was a planned succession from COO to CEO, signaling stability and continuity as the company enters a new phase of growth. Barrick, however, surprised the market with an interim appointment following the sudden departure of Mark Bristow. This contrast highlights the broader cycle shift from defensive, balance-sheet-focused leadership to growth-oriented CEOs ready to capitalise on a bull gold market.The coincidence of both announcements has reignited speculation about deeper industrial alignment. With Nevada Gold Mines and Pueblo Viejo already jointly operated, strategic synergies are clear. A combined or further integrated entity could also benefit from passive investment flows, with Newmont's S&P 500 inclusion forcing index-tracking funds to increase their exposure. While no deal has been announced, the industrial and financial rationale for closer alignment between Newmont and Barrick is stronger than ever.Beyond the majors, the week delivered extraordinary news from Olive's portfolio companies. Sterling Metals announced a discovery hole at its Soo Copper project in Ontario - 262 metres at 1% copper equivalent—re-rating the stock by more than 200% in a single day. Years of geological groundwork positioned the company for this success, underscoring the importance of disciplined preparation.Prospector Metals delivered another standout intercept: 44 metres at 13 g/t gold with 1.8% copper at its Mike Lake project. Shares surged nearly 280% and have held those gains. As part of the Discovery Group, Prospector demonstrated how systematic geological work and strong stewardship can unlock transformative discoveries.By contrast, Midnight Sun Mining illustrates the risk of overextended valuations. The company reported nearly 40 metres at .5% copper from its Dumbwa target in Zambia, yet shares fell around 20% as the market had already priced in perfection. The case highlights why entry point and expectations matter as much as geological success.The financing environment also shows renewed strength, with over C$100 million raised across juniors in the past week. With seasonal drill programs now underway, investors should expect a steady cadence of results through year-end. Majors may also lean further into M&A, project acceleration, and capital returns as gold prices remain near record highs.

More than six months after 50,000 liters of toxic water from a Chinese-run mining site spilled into Zambia's Kafue River, there's still no resolution to what's become a massive environmental crisis.  The government is siding with the company, Sino-Metals, while local farmers and activists remain unsatisfied with the response and have launched multiple lawsuits, including one seeking $80 billion in damages (more than twice the entire size of the Zambian economy). That's sparked outrage on Chinese social media platforms like WeChat and Weibo, where commentators are fuming over what they perceive as blatant extortion of a Chinese company.

Summary  In this special episode of InContext, Dr. Michael Easley sits down with the late Dr. Voddie Baucham, Jr.—pastor, professor, and cultural apologist—for a wide-ranging conversation about faith, family, and living with conviction in a confused culture. Voddie shares his remarkable journey to Christ, from growing up without the gospel to encountering Christ in college and pursuing a call to ministry. At the time of this conversation, he was serving as Dean of the School of Divinity at African Christian University in Lusaka, Zambia. With candor and humor, he reflects on raising nine children, the discipline of homeschooling, and the patience and selflessness required in marriage. He also describes how God's providence led his family to Zambia, teaching them to live with “open hands.” The discussion moves into cultural apologetics, where Voddie explains his bold approach to addressing issues like BLM, social justice, marriage, and sexuality—not by chasing headlines but by exposing false foundations and pointing people back to God's design. Though he has since gone home to be with the Lord, this conversation remains a testimony to Voddie's unwavering courage, pastoral heart, and legacy of faithfulness that continues to inspire. Key Takeaways Voddie's journey to Christ began in college, shaping his lifelong ministry calling. Raising nine children taught him discipline, faith, and the need for patience. God called the Bauchams to Zambia through providential open-handed obedience. Cultural apologetics requires exposing false foundations, not chasing headlines. Modern education and parenting philosophies leave generations unable to think critically. Believers are called to steward “what's in their hand” for God's purposes.

In honor of theologian, educator, and best-selling author, Dr. Voddie Baucham, the Lighthouse Faith podcast is re-posting his episode of May 2021.   Dr. Bauacham died suddenly on Thursday, September 25th, 2025, "after suffering an emergency medical incident," according to The Founders website. Baucham may not have been a household name like a Charlie Kirk or TD Jakes,  but he was quite well-known among conservative evangelicals. As a conservative African American pastor who served as Dean of Theology at African Christian University in Lusaka, Zambia, he was a bit of an enigma to many. He didn't fit the mold of a black Baptist preacher because he dared call out the sins of his own race; sins like rampant fatherlessness and out-of-wedlock births, while criticizing the embrace of Critical Race Theory. But he was also not totally touted by white Christians either, perhaps for fear of backlash or being labeled racist. But Baucham, first and foremost, was devoted to Jesus Christ. And that is how he wanted to be remembered.    On this episode of Lighthouse Faith, Baucham talks about his then-new book,  "Fault Lines: The Social Justice Movement and Evangelicalism's Looming Catastrophe".  It's a reminder of the tumult of the 2020 COVID shutdown and the rioting protests in the wake of the George Floyd murder. Baucham's was a voice that defied the prevailing political winds, but one that, like Charlie Kirk, spoke using faith and reason. Listen and see if you agree or not.  Learn more about your ad choices.

It's Friday, September 26th, 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 Adam McManus Chinese Communist court upholds prison sentence of 10 Christians On September 11, a court in the Inner Mongolian region of North China upheld a ruling that sentenced 10 Christians to prison for distributing legally published Bibles, asserting that their actions equated to an illegal business operation, reports International Christian Concern. The believers were arrested back in 2021 for purchasing legally published Bibles and reselling them at a significantly lower price as a means of evangelism. Although the Bibles were published legally, the court deemed the distribution of them illegal because the house church that the distributors belonged to was not officially registered with the Communists. Additionally, the church refused to join the government-controlled Three-Self Patriotic Movement church. Trump now wants Russia to return all captured Ukraine territory After campaigning on ending the Russia-Ukraine war, President Donald Trump had repeatedly stated any negotiations to end the war will likely include Ukraine ceding captured territory to Russia, reports American Family Radio News. However, there's now been an about-face, a big one, that sounds like Trump now supports a military counter-offensive by Ukraine.  This week, President Trump stated that Ukraine, with help from NATO and the European Union, can retake all territory it has lost to Russia and restore Ukraine to its “original form.” Russian President Vladimir Putin has ignored Trump's efforts to bring peace to the region even after face-to-face talks in Alaska earlier this summer. Mark Montgomery, a former rear admiral, believes that Putin has embarrassed and irritated Trump. Listen to this soundbite from Washington Watch with Tony Perkins. MONTGOMERY: “President Trump was disrespected by President Putin. After every meeting, Putin would go back to Russia and would immediately engage in significant hypersonic missile strikes on civilian personnel in Ukraine, and as well as engaging in military kinetic actions along the front line, ignoring the president's request for Vladimir to stop, ignoring the president's request to come to the negotiating table. “I think President Trump gave President Putin all the wiggle room he could. And then he had enough.” Former FBI Director James Comey indicted on federal charges Federal prosecutors on Thursday announced they had won an indictment of former FBI Director James Comey in federal courts, reports The Epoch Times. Comey was indicted by a grand jury in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia on charges of making a false statement and obstruction in a criminal case. In a post on X, Attorney General Pam Bondi wrote, “No one is above the law. Today's indictment reflects this Department of Justice's commitment to holding those who abuse positions of power accountable for misleading the American people. We will follow the facts in this case.” Panic seizes Pentagon over Hegseth's meeting of all generals Secretary of War Pete Hegseth has ordered all top U.S. military commanders, worldwide, to convene at the Quantico, Virginia Marine Corps Base next week for a no-notice meeting with no published agenda. To call this unprecedented might be an understatement. The order covers about 800 general officers and admirals, and each of the attendees is directed to bring their senior enlisted adviser with them, reports RedState.com. It's also very likely that Hegseth will want to discuss the epidemic of non-compliance and malicious compliance wreaking havoc on the policies he and his team are attempting to put into place. For instance, trans members of the military are still being promoted even though they have been ordered discharged. DEI training continues despite Hegseth's order banning such nonsense. The Judge Advocate General Corps, the stronghold of everything leftist in all services, survived an early decapitation attack and roared back more woke and more disloyal and vindictive than ever. They openly discuss how to circumvent Department of War directives and frequently refer to their commanders who are following lawful orders from the Secretary of War as "nazis" and "war criminals." Man who shot at ICE Dallas facility sought to bring terror The 29-year-old man, Joshua Jahn, who opened fire on a Dallas Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility from a nearby roof on September 24th left behind handwritten notes at his home in Oklahoma that shared a motive for his attack – to terrorize ICE employees, reports Fox4News.com. He killed one detainee, and injured two other detainees before taking his own life. According to FBI Director Kash Patel, Jahn downloaded a document titled "Dallas County Office of Homeland Security & Emergency Management," which contained a list of Department of Homeland Security facilities. He also conducted multiple searches of ballistics and the "Charlie Kirk Shot Video" between September 23 and September 24. Jahn allegedly left handwritten notes behind that read in part, "Hopefully, this will give ICE agents real terror, to think, ‘Is there a sniper with [armor piercing] rounds on that roof?'" At a press conference, FBI agent-in-charge Joseph Rothrock said, "Jahn specifically intended to kill ICE agents. He fired at transport vehicles carrying ICE personnel, federal agents, and detainees. He also fired multiple shots into the windows of the office building, where numerous ICE employees do their jobs every day." The Department of Homeland Security is also increasing security at all ICE facilities across America. Christian leader Voddie Baucham died at 56 And finally, Voddie Baucham, an American pastor, author, and educator, died yesterday at the age of 56. TimesNowNews.com reports that Baucham had dealt with serious health issues in the past. In February 2021, he experienced “full-blown heart failure.” The following month, he underwent successful heart surgery. Later, doctors found another blockage, which led to a quadruple bypass surgery. On Facebook, his ministry wrote, “We are saddened to inform friends that our dear brother, Voddie Baucham, Jr., has left the land of the dying and entered the land of the living. Earlier today, after suffering an emergency medical incident, he entered into his rest and the immediate presence of the Savior whom he loved, trusted, and served since he was converted as a college student. Please pray for Bridget, their [nine] children, and [three] grandchildren.” Indeed, I urge you to send a sympathy card to Bridget Baucham, c/o Voddie Baucham Ministries,1020 S. Ferdon, Crestview, FL 32536. Voddie served for nine years as Dean of Theology at African Christian University in Lusaka, Zambia and was the Founding President of Founders Seminary in Cape Coral, Florida. Known for his passionate preaching, teachings on faith, and books on Christian living, Baucham left a deep mark on the Evangelical community. His books included Family Driven Faith: Doing What It Takes to Raise Sons and Daughters Who Walk with God, Family Shepherds: Calling and Equipping Men to Lead Their Homes, and Fault Lines: The Social Justice Movement and Evangelicalism's Looming Catastrophe. Listen to Voddie Baucham explain how Ephesians 6:1 has been turned upside down by the world. BAUCHAM: “Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. We've turned this on its head. “First of all, your children are not yours. ‘Children, obey the state, for this is right.' We've even moved from that. “'Children obey your feelings, for this is right.' And then on top of that. We say, ‘Parents, obey your children's feelings, for this is right.' So, if Johnny comes to you and says that Johnny is now Susie, it is your job not to instruct Johnny that he's not Susie, but to instruct Susie that you affirm her as Susie. That's your job. “Your job is to obey, to submit to what it is that your child says that he or she is. Sounds like the same twisted logic of the evangelical feminist.” Psalm 116:15 says, “Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of His saints.” Watch Voddie's last talk in which he addressed Charlie Kirk's death at New St. Andrews College.

HIV has been in retreat around the world. Fewer people are dying of the disease.New infections are decreasing. More HIV positive people have access to life saving medicine.Those trend lines have been moving in the right direction for decades. And US investment is one big reason.The Trump Administration dismantled foreign assistance through USAID, it continued PEPFAR — the President's Emergency Plan For AIDS Relief — but much of the work is either no longer happening or happening at a very reduced capacity.For decades, the United States led global efforts to end HIV/AIDS. That's no longer happening. Where will the trend lines go from here? For sponsor-free episodes of Consider This, sign up for Consider This+ via Apple Podcasts or at plus.npr.org. Email us at considerthis@npr.org.This episode was produced by Jeffrey Pierre.
