    Compassion to Preach | Brother Adam Russell | Missionary to Mexico

    What does it truly mean to have compassion like Jesus Christ? In this powerful message from Matthew 9:35–38, Missionary to Mexico Brother Adam Russell challenges believers to recover Christ's heart for lost souls. Rather than allowing politics, division, or the distractions of this world to consume our attention, Christians are called to proclaim the Gospel with compassion and urgency. Drawing from the compassion Jesus showed the multitudes, the Samaritan woman, and countless sinners, Brother Russell reminds us that the greatest need in America—and around the world—is not another political victory, but transformed hearts through the saving Gospel of Jesus Christ. Whether you're burdened for missions, seeking encouragement in your faith, or looking to deepen your compassion for others, this sermon offers a timely biblical challenge to live with eternity in view. Scripture: Matthew 9:35–38 (KJV) In this message:Christ's compassion for the multitudesThe harvest truly is plenteousWhy the Gospel changes heartsReaching the lost with biblical compassionThe Samaritan woman and God's graceMissions to MexicoLiving in expectation of Christ's returnMaking an eternal difference through evangelismThank you for listening to the ministry of Flathead Valley Baptist Church in Kalispell, Montana.

    Would NYC Really Arrest Netanyahu? Iran, Cuba & America's Political Decline | DeProgram

    Could New York City's next mayor really arrest Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu? In this episode of DeProgram, Ted Rall and Jamarl Thomas examine Zohran Mamdani's controversial pledge to enforce the ICC arrest warrant against Netanyahu if he visits New York. They debate whether such a move is politically possible, whether it would transform Mamdani's political future, and why announcing it ahead of time may have been a strategic mistake. The conversation expands into a broader discussion about U.S. foreign policy, including the escalating confrontation with Iran, the strategic importance of the Strait of Hormuz, and why both hosts believe Tehran has little incentive to change course following American military strikes. Ted and JT also examine the State Department's latest report on Cuba, criticizing what they view as Cold War rhetoric and discussing the broader role of American intervention overseas. Along the way, they reflect on 9/11, government accountability, the Democratic Party's internal struggles, the decline of American political institutions, and why many establishment Democrats continue to push progressives out of the party. This episode blends geopolitics, history, political philosophy, and current events into another wide-ranging DeProgram discussion.

    Government Power vs. Due Process | Trump, ICE, Red Flag Laws & Free Speech | DeProgram

    How much government power is too much? On this episode of DeProgram, Ted Rall is joined by producer Robby West as they examine a series of stories that all lead back to one central question: what happens when constitutional protections collide with expanding government authority? The discussion begins with President Trump's latest speech on election integrity before shifting into the controversial ICE shooting involving an officer accused of domestic abuse. From there, the conversation explores whether allegations should be enough to destroy someone's career, the importance of due process, and why background investigations can only uncover crimes that have actually been reported. The second half of the episode dives into red flag laws, Second and Fourth Amendment protections, firearm confiscation without criminal convictions, and concerns over how terrorism laws and "material support" statutes could be expanded to chill political speech. Along the way, Ted and Robby also discuss:Trump's election speech and media coverageImmigration and wage suppressionICE hiring standards and background investigationsDomestic violence, accusations, and presumption of innocenceRed flag laws and constitutional rightsThe Second and Fourth AmendmentsMarco Rubio's international terrorism summitAntifa, domestic terrorism, and government definitions of extremismFree speech and material support lawsLabor, unions, automation, and the American economyWhether you agree or disagree, this episode examines the tension between public safety, civil liberties, and the constitutional safeguards designed to protect every American.
