We're living in a time when lies are really easy and the truth is costly. And nowhere is that more devastating than in the battle for life that rages through this country every day. That's exactly what Natalia faced. Her first reaction to her pregnancy was abortion, because that's the lie she was told. But once she heard the heartbeat of her child, she knew that God wanted her to have her baby and that all things would be possible through him. Natalia chose life. She was provided with the love, support and the resources she needed at preborn network clinics. This happens on average 2, 200 times a day across the country because of support from people like you. Moms who are overwhelmed and pressured suddenly see their child hear the truth and realize that they're not alone. That moment of truth costs only $28. That's what it costs to sponsor an ultrasound. An ultrasound doubles a baby's chance at life. This is not the time for silence. Give now. Dial £250 and say the keyword baby. That's £250, baby. Or visit preborn.comallie that's preborn.comallie Objective Evil exists. Today's stories prove that to be true. We see some disturbing protesters from the no Kings demonstrations this weekend. We will also be looking at the persecution happening in Nigeria, how we should pray, why it matters, as well as this very contentious race in Virginia. We will also be closing the episode analyzing Trump's latest moves. When it comes to ivf, how should we be thinking about that as pro life Christians?

Hope everyone had a wonderful weekend and that you are having a great start to your week. Remember, God's eternal plan of redemption is always going off without a hitch. He is not surprised. He is not taken aback. He is not thrown off by anything. He is never looking down and wondering what is going on. He is sovereign over all of it. And one day he is coming back and he will make every wrong right and he will do away with all injustice and oppression and evildoers. And when it seems like evil is winning, we can always go back to Psalm 37 that tells us not to fret over the evildoer, even when it seems like he's prospering and succeeding. That Jesus is coming back, that Jesus wins, that Jesus is king. And so that is our hope. And we walk forward in that hope, in that joy Knowing that we are completely immortal. Immortal until God calls us home. And we serve a God who is surprised by nothing. You are placed on this tiny speck of the universe, on the small spot of eternity by a God who does nothing by accident. Your existence, your children's and your children's children's existence, the time and the place in which they are put in history, all of that is done by a God who does everything with purpose and in intention and cares very much so. As we talk about some of the things that we're going to get into today, some of them sad and troubling and disturbing, we have to remember that this is our Father's world and that he's not doing nothing about evil. His wrath is kindling. And one day he will do away with all of it. So if today you feel any kind of prompting like, wow, who is this God? What is Christianity? What is this faith that she is talking about? Don't ignore it. Don't push that feeling down. I have lots of resources that I've talked about on this show and on my Instagram about how you can start reading the Bible and how to find biblical church. That is your next step. All right, let's talk about some of these disturbing things that happened over the weekend and that would be the no Kings Day demonstrations. Now, you might have heard about no Kings Day because they just had a whole day of demonstrations just a couple months ago in July, but they're already back, they're already having new demonstrations. I guess the demand for no Kings Day was just so high that they felt, okay, we need more nationwide protests. And if you're wondering, no King's Day is orchestrated by a bunch of far left activist groups that say that they are protesting against Donald Trump's tyranny, against his dictatorship. Now, what exactly is he doing that is not in line with liberty, that is not in line with democratic ideals. It's on, it's unsure, it's, it's yet to be seen. It seems that a big issue that they all have is that Donald Trump has the audacity to believe in borders and believe that America should just be for American citizens, that we should put the interest and the well being and the safety of America before the interest and well being and safety of other countries. The belief that literally everyone has had for all of time in every country that is now seen as dictatorial in some way. So this happened on Saturday. First one was, I think I said July was actually on June 14th. According to the website, over 2700, no Kings Day protests took place included over 7 million people. I have no idea how you count that, although I do believe that they were a lot of places. I saw it in the city where I live, in the suburbs, in places that you would consider to be pretty conservative. I mean, there were a lot of people out there demonstrating. So this is, of course, the party of empathy and peace. And so all of their demonstrations were peaceful. Right. And they were very joyful and very unifying, and they were just out there trying to show us what it looks like to be good, compassionate Americans. Well, let me show you some pictures of some demonstrators. Here's three, full screen one. Here's some highlights. We've got this woman up here on the top corner there. And in the video, which I think we might even. Yeah, we have a video, I think, of her. Do we have a video of her also? Okay, so we can see and we can play that in a second where she is, as people are filming her, she is pretending to be Charlie Kirk. Shot in the neck. So that's what she's doing there. Lovely person. She's also holding a Mexican flag. Even though she's here in America, I don't think that she's a starving refugee. I'm just gonna kind of like put that together. Doesn't seem. Seem that way. And then we've got this very disturbing thing. We've got this guy right here who is dressed up as the suspect in Charlie Kirk's assassination. So that's what he's wearing there. He's wearing the shirt that the suspect was wearing when he murdered Charlie Kirk, wearing the same kind of get up with the sunglasses and the hat. And then we've got another protester here. Which one heals faster? Trump's ear? Erica's heart? So I think what they're trying to say there is that they were both fake, that those things were set up, that they were some kind of political play. I mean, how cold hearted can you be to minimize something like that? Not only Trump's attempted assassination, but the grief of a widow. I mean, you are so spiritually calloused and so cold. If you not only thought that you just. I, I can't even imagine having that impulse at all, even towards someone that I hated. But then to take the time to plan that out and to write it down and to hold it up as if you were proud of it. Like you're looking at this. How can you doubt that evil exists? And if objective evil exists, then something else has to exist, too. I. I truly believe God can Use even this evil to point people towards himself, because that's what he does. But man. And then we have another guitar. This machine kills fascists. That's a little mantra that we've been hearing over the years from progressives. And this is. This is everywhere. We're not just picking out a few people. I'm gonna play you some videos in a second of something extremely disturbing. And I'm not saying this represents every single protester out there. I'm not saying this is every single person in the Democratic party or every single progressive out there. But it's obviously enough people that are pro violence, that are pro assassination to make you second guess if your progressive ideas and your progressive ideology really do have good intentions. Like you should probably start thinking about that. The party of love and peace and compassion, they're the ones that are pro assassination of their political enemies. I don't know, maybe you should just start second guessing whether the Christian nationalists are really the bad guys. Have a moment of self reflection. Are you part of the bad team? Are you actually on the wrong side of history? I know that's tough. No one wants to ask themselves that question. But it's time. Okay, let me go ahead and pause and tell you a couple exciting things. Well, the first exciting thing is that if you missed Share the Arrows. My Christian women's conference, that was last weekend, it was amazing.

But we have to be able to look evil in the eye and see what it really looks like and see, gosh, how much this world really needs Jesus. So here is that woman from earlier, the picture that you saw imitating Charlie Kirk being shot sought to.
