Voiced by veteran talk show host Adam McManus and written by radio-host and pastor Kevin Swanson and a team of other staff writers, The World View in 5 Minutes is a round-up of the daily news from a Biblical perspective. And, perhaps most uniquely, you will often hear applicable Scriptures paired with the stories themselves. It’s part Paul Harvey, part R.C. Sproul. You’ll get hooked to the most definitively Christian overview of the news including politics, pop culture, the church, and tracing God’s sovereign hand in the affairs of man.© 2022 The WorldView in 5 Minutes Catechesi ed evangelismo Cristianesimo Giornaliero Politica e governo Scienze sociali Spiritualità

    22-year-old homeschool graduate denied from being Fremont firefighter; British Christian social worker penalized for Biblical views; Only 40% of French believe in God

    It’s Wednesday, September 30th, A.D. 2026. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com. I’m Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Jonathan Clark Christian social worker penalized for Biblical views A social worker in the United Kingdom appeared in court on Monday to defend his religious freedom. As a Christian, Felix Ngole has expressed his Biblical views of marriage and sexuality. This cost him a job. Touchstone Leeds, a mental health charity, withdrew an offer of employment after it learned of his views. Ngole is challenging the decision in court as discrimination. He said, “I am determined to pursue this appeal and seek a clear and lasting precedent for Christian freedom.” In Luke 6:22-23, Jesus said, “Blessed are you when men hate you, and when they exclude you, and revile you, and cast out your name as evil, for the Son of Man's sake. Rejoice in that day and leap for joy! For indeed, your reward is great in Heaven.” Only 40 percent of French believe in God The European Centre for Law and Justice released a report on religion in France. The study found only four in 10 French people say they believe in God today, down from two-thirds in 1947. The historically Roman Catholic country is seeing a collapse of Catholicism. Only 46 percent of French people identify as Catholic. And just five percent attend Catholic Mass, down from 35 percent in 1960. Even as France secularizes, Evangelical Protestants are a growing share of the population. It’s estimated that a new evangelical church opens every ten days. Man gets 6 years for taking explosive devices to Mass Here in the United States, a New Jersey man was sentenced to nearly six years in prison on Monday for taking explosives to a church. Louis Geri was arrested outside the Cathedral of St. Matthew the Apostle in Washington, D.C. last year. He had over 100 homemade explosive devices. The cathedral was hosting the annual “Red Mass” that day. Supreme Court Justices and government officials have historically attended the service. However, on that day, no justices were present because of security concerns, noted the National Catholic Reporter. The Red Mass dates back many centuries and gets its name from the color of the liturgical vestments worn by the celebrants and the color of fire, a symbol of the Holy Spirit. The mentally-ill man also carried a nine-page list of written demands, which included requests for hundreds of thousands of dollars, an expatriation flight to Japan, and that the Supreme Court remove Arizona from the United States and declare it a “foreign enemy.” Trump rolled back fuel efficiency requirements on cars The Trump administration rolled back fuel efficiency requirements for car manufacturers on Monday. Under the Biden administration, companies had to make cars two percent more fuel efficient every year. The Trump administration changed this to one percent more efficient every year. This would make new cars less expensive. U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said, “Thanks to President Trump’s leadership, we have finally ended the illegal mandate that forced automakers to produce more expensive electric vehicles that American families didn’t want.” Federal Reserve raised interest rates The Federal Reserve raised interest rates earlier this month for the first time in over three years. The Fed increased its benchmark interest rate by a quarter percentage point to a range of 3.75 to 4 percent. This will likely mean higher borrowing costs for credit cards and mortgages. The Fed stated, “Inflation remains elevated. Today's policy action will support a timelier return to the Committee's 2 percent goal.” The annual inflation rate was 3.4 percent last month. 22-year-old homeschool graduate denied from being Fremont firefighter And finally, Andrew Coates served as a volunteer firefighter at Fremont Fire Department over the past two years. He applied for a full-time position. But the city denied the application because his diploma came from a homeschool program. Nebraska’s Republican Governor Jim Pillen condemned the city’s action. He said, “We should be encouraging young leaders like Coates, not turning them away. My administration will be investigating ways to remedy this situation.” Coates appeared on Washington Watch with Tony Perkins heard on 800 radio stations last week. He said he’s received support from lots of homeschoolers. Listen. COATES: “The support has honestly been overwhelming. We've received support from homeschoolers, firefighters, churches, organizations just all over the world. I've actually been receiving letters in the mail from homeschool families that just want to stand and support us. It's really just overwhelming support.” He also asked for prayer in his case. COATES: “Be in prayer for us. Pray for a few things. Wisdom during this time that we would just be seeking God first. Clarity to be ...

  • Canadian doctors kill more people than American murderers do; U.S. Supreme Court affirms parental rights; Chinese communists shut down churches while Jinping in America

    Canadian doctors kill more people than American murderers do; U.S. Supreme Court affirms parental rights; Chinese communists shut down churches while Jinping in America
    Sep 29 2026
    It’s Tuesday, September 29th, A.D. 2026. 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 Kevin Swanson and Timothy Reed Chinese communists shut down churches while Jin ping in America While Chinese President Xi Jinping was visiting the United States, Communist police were still arresting pastors and shutting down churches in China. Pastors and church workers from Jiaquan Church in Beijing have been arrested in raids occurring over the last week. This follows another mass arrest of more members of the Early Rain Covenant Church in Chengdu in southwestern China. Send a polite, 4-sentence letter to the Chinese Ambassador to America, Xie Feng, urging him to tell the Communist party officials to stop arresting pastors and shutting down churches. Send it to the Chinese Embassy, 3505 International Place NW, Washington, DC 20008. Supreme Court continues to affirm parental rights Over the past year, parental rights advocates are winning cases at the U.S. Supreme Court. By law, the state of California was requiring school officials to conceal information concerning children’s gender transitioning behavior from their parents. Thankfully, the high court struct down the law earlier in the year. In a separate ruling last June, the U.S. Supreme Court struck down another Maryland law that prohibited parents from opting their kids out of homosexual/transgender indoctrination classes, reported CBS News. Writing the majority opinion, Justice Samuel Alito argued on the basis of religious rights. He wrote, “A government burdens the religious exercise of parents when it requires them to submit their children to instruction that poses ‘a very real threat of undermining’ the religious beliefs and practices that the parents wish to instill.” Ebola virus killed 4,000 people in Congo The World Health Organization reports 8,000 cases of Ebola in the latest outbreak in Congo, Africa — and now, almost 4,000 deaths. This is the worst outbreak of this deadly disease since 2013. Mortgage rates at 7.5% The U.S. 30-year mortgage rate hit 7.5% yesterday, reports Mortgage News Daily. That’s the highest rate since December 2000. Trump criticized United Nations President Donald Trump took to the stage at the United Nations General Assembly in New York last week, heavily criticizing the organization, but also praising it in some aspects as well. Trump stated, “There is no human right to illegal immigration, but there is a right to remain a sovereign nation.” He added that the United States “totally rejects any attempt to construct a globalist scheme to control artificial intelligence.” The president also said, “The United Nations has great, great potential” and he encouraged the U.S. Ambassador to the UN “to implement the most sweeping UN reforms in history.” Canadian doctors kill more people than American murderers do Canada now kills more people by "assisted suicide" than the United States does by homicide. United States Republican Senator Mike Lee of Utah detailed this fact in a now viral post on X, stating, “State-administered death is now more common in Canada than gun homicide is in the U.S. That didn’t happen by accident.” He also said, “The intersection of assisted suicide and socialized medicine results in state-led horrors, treating the young, old, infirm, and distressed as disposable people. We must never allow this barbarity to spread in America.” Jeremiah 8:3 gives a stark warning. The Lord of hosts said, “Then death shall be chosen rather than life by all the residue of those who remain of this evil family, who remain in all the places where I have driven them.” Gen Z more religious than older generations A new update from the Harris Report revealed that Gen Z is more religious than older generations. Per the report, “Gen Z is not abandoning faith, they are the generation most likely to identify as religious. Gen Z is not just identifying with faith, they are actively practicing it. For Gen Z, spirituality is one way to build agency in an uncertain future.” However, many in Gen Z continue to observe harmful religious practices, and dabble with the occult and manifestations. Ephesians 6:12 says, “For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.” Planned Parenthood gave Joe Biden their baby killing award And finally, abortion giant Planned Parenthood handed out its 2026 Sonia Schorr Sloan Service Award to former President Joe Biden, one of the biggest supporters of abortion in United States history, reported LifeNews. Biden recalled his historic murderous work. Referring to Sonny Sloan, the late president of Delaware’s Planned Parenthood, Biden said this. BIDEN: “In the wake of the Dobbs decision, as president, ...

  • 4,216 Nigerian Christians killed since January 1st; High school students less likely to be perverted; George Whitefield preached 18,000 times to 10 million people

    4,216 Nigerian Christians killed since January 1st; High school students less likely to be perverted; George Whitefield preached 18,000 times to 10 million people
    Oct 1 2026
    It’s Thursday, October 1st, A.D. 2026. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com. I’m Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Jonathan Clark 4,216 Nigerian Christians killed since January 1st Equipping the Persecuted released a report this month, documenting the ongoing slaughter of Christians in Nigeria, Africa. Over 4,216 Christians were killed in the West African nation between January 1 and September 8 of this year. Most of the violence against Christian farming communities appears to be religiously motivated. It’s largely carried out through Islamic militant networks. Violence has also displaced over five million Christians and destroyed over 600 Christian communities. Please pray for our persecuted brothers and sisters in Christ in Nigeria. 1 Corinthians 12:26 says, “If one member suffers, all suffer together; if one member is honored, all rejoice together.” Euthanasia deaths surging in Victoria, Australia Euthanasia deaths are surging in the Australian state of Victoria. A government report found there were 512 deaths by euthanasia and assisted suicide over the last year. That’s up from 389 deaths the previous year. A total of 2,188 people have died this way since the state of Victoria started allowing it in 2019. United States completed withdrawal from Iraq The United States completed its military withdrawal from Iraq yesterday. Listen to the previous related comments from President Donald Trump on July 14th at the White House. TRUMP: “Well, we don't think we need the military there anymore. It's a very big operation. What we do have is the oil companies are all going in now, and they're doing partnerships with Iraq, and they're getting along very well. The relationship is a whole big relationship where we don't need the military there. We're there to help them. We're there to protect them, if need be.” The U.S. invaded Iraq in 2003, deposed Saddam Hussein, and occupied the country until 2011. American forces returned in 2014 to fight the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria, or ISIS. The U.S. military, along with Iraqi forces, defeated ISIS in 2017. Over 4,400 Americans died in Iraq since 2003. And an estimated 200,000 Iraqi civilians were killed during the same period. U.S. economy did better than expected The U.S. economy grew better than expected during the second quarter of this year. The Gross Domestic Product increased at an annual rate of 2.2 percent from April to June, according to the Bureau of Economic Analysis. Economists had only expected 1.5 percent growth in the GDP. Judge allows cross to remain in Los Angeles A federal appeals court recently protected religious symbols in Los Angeles from being removed. Since 1929, a 10-foot-tall wooden cross has stood in the historic heart of Los Angeles. A local resident sued to remove the cross and keep the city from putting up a nativity each year. The Ninth Circuit court of Appeals rejected this effort on Monday. High school students less likely to be perverted The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention released their Youth Risk Survey. The study found students from 9th to 12th grade are less likely to identify as homosexual or bisexual than they were two years ago. Jean Twenge, a psychology professor at San Diego State University, said, “That really does look like a free fall. The decline appears to be driven almost entirely by girls.” Young men most likely to attend church more A new survey from Barna Research found that one in three young adults say they’re attending church more often than a year ago. Young men are among the most likely to say their attendance has increased. Prayer is the top reason young people give for attending church followed by worshipping Jesus with other people, experiencing joy in Jesus, and understanding what the Bible has to say. Psalm 122:1 says, “I was glad when they said to me, ‘Let us go into the house of the LORD.’” George Whitefield preached 18,000 times to 10 million people in person And finally, this week is the anniversary of the death of George Whitefield. The English preacher was born in 1714 in Gloucester. After attending college at Oxford, he would become an itinerate preacher across Britain and the American colonies. His preaching was an important part of the religious revival known as the First Great Awakening. He often preached outside to thousands, reaching many who never attended church. It’s believed he preached at least 18,000 times and reached about ten million listeners. By the age of 55, he continued to preach despite poor health. He gave his last sermon in a field in Exeter, New Hampshire. He died the next day on September 30, 1770. In Acts 20:24, the Apostle Paul said, “I do not account my life of any value nor as precious to myself, if only I may finish my course and the ministry that I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify to the Gospel of the grace of God.” Close And ...
