40. 3:26Or we can give, you can give,
41. 3:28securely online by going to AFR.net.
42. 3:32That is AFR.net.
43. 3:35To begin the program today, I wanna start in,
44. 3:37Jeremiah chapter 17.
45. 3:40Jeremiah chapter 17 verse 5 is where we're going to begin and we're going to conclude at verse 8 and this
46. 3:48is something I pray will be an encouragement to you as you're making your transition to your full-time
47. 3:53job and this is what God's word says. Thus says the Lord. Jeremiah chapter 17 verse 5. Thus says the
48. 3:59Lord, cursed is the man who trusts in man and makes flesh his
49. 4:06strength, whose heart turns away from the Lord. He is like a
50. 4:12shrub in the desert and shall not see any good come. He shall dwell
51. 4:17in the parched places of the wilderness in an uninhabited salt
52. 4:23land. Blessed is the man who trusts, sorry, blessed is the man
53. 4:29who trusts in the Lord, whose trust is the Lord.
54. 4:35He is like a tree planted by water
55. 4:39that sends out its roots by the stream
56. 4:42and does not fear when heat comes
57. 4:46for its leaves remain green
58. 4:50and is not anxious in the year of drought
59. 4:54for it does not cease to bear fruit."
60. 4:59Oh man, what a powerful, powerful verse,
61. 5:03verses of scripture with the Lord,
62. 5:06divinely inspires the proper Jeremiah to convey,
63. 5:09and it's the absolute truth.
64. 5:11Curse is a man whose trust is man, who trusts in man.
65. 5:18The person who makes flesh his strength.
66. 5:21Then the Lord offers that contrast.
67. 5:23The blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord and whose trust is the Lord.
68. 5:27Think about in our time, oftentimes people, especially when you have significant financial
69. 5:32means, you'll create trusts and family trusts.
70. 5:35And the Lord is saying that the blessing is when we regard him as our trust.
71. 5:42And one thing I want to point out, which I find to be particularly noteworthy in the
72. 5:47time that we're in now, where you have the ascension of Islam in America.
73. 5:53We talked yesterday about the Islamic, expressed objective of making America an Islamic state
74. 5:59by 2050.
75. 6:00You know, you have the ascension of Marxism in America.
76. 6:04Right now the Democratic Socialists of America is the largest Marxist organization in American
77. 6:09history, right?
78. 6:11There's a proliferation of biblical illiteracy in our country.
79. 6:15There's a proliferation of constitutional illiteracy, but we do not have to be afraid of the environment.
80. 6:22God has ordained us for this moment.
81. 6:24In this description, particularly points out
82. 6:26that the man who trusts in the Lord,
83. 6:28who trusts is the Lord,
84. 6:30he is like a tree planted by water
85. 6:33that sends out its roots by the stream
86. 6:35and looking at this part.
87. 6:36And who does not fear when heat comes.
88. 6:40Hear the Lord through the Prophet Jeremiah
89. 6:42is using a word picture of a tree planted by a stream,
90. 6:47but a tree that is firmly planted,
91. 6:49that is abiding in its life source,
92. 6:51is not afraid when there's an external environmental condition that becomes hostile to its existence.
93. 6:57That tree is not afraid.
94. 6:58You know why?
95. 7:00Because its leaves remain green.
96. 7:02How can a tree's leaves remain green in the midst of a heated environment?
97. 7:09Because it's planted.
98. 7:11It's planted by the streams of water.
99. 7:14This type of tree is not anxious in the year of drought.
100. 7:17Because even in the year of drought, this tree continues to bear fruit, brothers and sisters.
101. 7:21I believe this is a depiction of how God would have us view his remnant in our land.
102. 7:27This is a picture how God would have us view his positioning of us in our land.
103. 7:33Though we may be surrounded, I was talking in the last hour about Elisha when the the
104. 7:37Aromean king, the Syrian king was seeking to make war on Israel.
105. 7:42Right?
106. 7:43And but but because there's a prophet in Israel, God will reveal to Elisha what the battle
107. 7:48plans would be for the enemy, the hostile adversary.
108. 7:52And so Elisha would advise the king of Israel.
109. 7:55So listen, don't go that way because there's a booby trap.
110. 7:57There's an ambush over there.
111. 7:59And it happened so repetitively that the king of Syria
112. 8:03started to distrust his own cabinet,
113. 8:06distrust his own advisors.
114. 8:08And we're gonna say, which of you is a spy
115. 8:12for the nation of Israel?
116. 8:13And then one of his advisors kind of sheepishly
117. 8:15raised his hand and says, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa,
118. 8:18whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa,
119. 8:19whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa,
120. 8:20whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa,
121. 8:21You know, nobody is a spy playing a double age of an Israel.
122. 8:24See what happened was there's a prophet, there's a prophet of God in Israel.
123. 8:30See, see, there's a prophet of God in Israel isn't it amazing, even in an
124. 8:34environment where hostility is abound that even the wicked enemy can recognize,
125. 8:38well, wait a minute, there's a prophet of God in Israel.
126. 8:42And he says the prophet of God is the one informing the king of Israel,
127. 8:46what your strategies are.
128. 8:48So because sin makes you stupid, the king of Syria, even though he can't even
129. 8:53execute his battle plans well comes up with the ridiculous solution well let's go and arrest
130. 8:58the elitist we can kill him and so they they they do their their espionage they find out
131. 9:04elitist hometown which was in dothan and then they send their military boots and and all of the
132. 9:10marching marches all the way down to dothan and they surround the city and elitist young servant
133. 9:15without and about and he sees the the horde of the Syrian army and he's afraid he runs to find Elisha
134. 9:25and he cries out oh my lord Elisha what are we going to do and Elisha very calmly yet directly says
135. 9:32Lord open this young man's eyes open his eyes that he might see that there are more with us
136. 9:40than are with them brothers and sisters what I am telling you is that the occasion that we
137. 9:44find ourselves in is not a coincidental, a coincidental occurrence.
138. 9:49God has ordained you and I for this moment.
139. 9:52God has planted us for this moment.
140. 9:54There's not one of us who said, you know what?
141. 9:55I want to make sure I'm alive in the 21st century where you have a city Supreme Court justice
142. 9:59who doesn't know what a woman is.
143. 10:01I want to, I want to be alive when you have like a WNBA that what, what's the W stand
144. 10:05for, Bob?
145. 10:06You want to tell them what's the W stand for?
146. 10:07But they won't say that you cannot have testosterone dominant DNA in the play in the
147. 10:15basketball league.
148. 10:16They won't say that.
149. 10:18But God is a Daniel and I for this moment, not for us to cower, for us to recognize there
150. 10:22are more with us than with them, that are more for us than for them.
151. 10:28They can claim to have the armies, they can claim to have all of this cultural influence,
152. 10:32they can claim to have all of this potency, but before a high and holy God, there are
153. 10:36paltry resistance. And God can do whatever he wills, however he wills, but he's
154. 10:42desauvantly decided that he wants to use his people as his hands and feet. And
155. 10:47that's why I am not hesitant to invite you to call 877-616-2396
156. 10:54because one of the things you'll find, one of the things you'll find is that,
157. 10:58you know what? You're not crazy. That God has a remnant all over this country who
158. 11:05who stands on his word, who stands for the truth, and who stands with you as you do the
159. 11:12same. Here's an example. Pampa, Texas. A supporter giving to a Cherathon in Pampa, Texas. Youngsville,
160. 11:21Louisiana, Midwest City, Oklahoma, West Monroe, Louisiana, Tyler, Texas, Cypress, Texas, Little
161. 11:27Rock, Arkansas, Baton Rouge, Louisiana, Wichita, Kansas, Sandstone, Virginia, Montgomery, Texas,
162. 11:33Corpus Christi, Texas, Kokomo, Indiana, Lafayette, Louisiana,
163. 11:37Henry, Gover, Virginia, Rogers, Arkansas,
164. 11:40Lake, Arthur, Louisiana, Florence, Alabama, guys,
165. 11:43there are more with us than are with them.
166. 11:48And if we would be willing to set our feet
167. 11:52and say, come with me, Lord, you ordained us for this moment
168. 11:55that we will have the opportunity to behold
169. 11:58the will of God brought to bear on our environment.
170. 12:03Cursed is the man who trusts is in man
171. 12:07in the natural, in the flesh.
172. 12:09Yeah, man, look, oh, look, woo, woo, woo, woo,
173. 12:12look what's going on around us.
174. 12:14But man is not our trust.
175. 12:16We don't rely upon natural, wherewithal, natural resources.
176. 12:19Our trust is the Lord.
177. 12:22We trust in the Lord and our trust is the Lord.
178. 12:26And the Lord literally explains in his word
179. 12:28that when he is our trust, we become the blessed man
180. 12:32of Jeremiah 17.
181. 12:34And that blessed man is planted like a tree
182. 12:37by the water who sends out its roots by the stream.
183. 12:42And that tree, the blessed man,
184. 12:44does not fear when the heat comes.
185. 12:47The blessed man is not anxious in the year of drought.
186. 12:52Not anxious in the year of drought
187. 12:53because the blessed man's leaves remain green.
188. 12:58The blessed man ceases not to produce fruit.
189. 13:02Guys, this is our heritage in the Lord.
190. 13:07This is what is available to us.
191. 13:09So when you call 87616-239-6, and make your gift 877-616-2396,
192. 13:22you are making an investment in the eternal kingdom of God.
193. 13:27Yes, but more specifically in planting the flag
194. 13:31for Christ-laden witness in our nation.
195. 13:36That is what you're contributing to.
196. 13:39This is one of the few places where you can get biblical commentary on the issues of the
197. 13:44day.
198. 13:45This is one of the few places where we will not flinch, we will not hesitate to speak the
199. 13:49truth of God's word.
200. 13:50One of the few places where we'll say it doesn't matter how many surges you have, how many drugs
201. 13:55you ingest, how many chemicals you consume that never can a man ever become a woman.
202. 14:00It cannot happen.
203. 14:02We do not say that to be mean or to be hateful or to be any kind of phobic.
204. 14:07We say it with us humility and with a grace and with all of the love of Christ because
205. 14:14it is true.
206. 14:15It is cruel to deceive a person who is struggling in confusion and to say, you know what?
207. 14:21Yes, your confusion is correct.
208. 14:22No, that's not loving.
209. 14:24And when you apply the same reality that people try to put to those who struggle with
210. 14:30body dysmorphia and apply to things like anorexia nervosa and bulimia nervosa, you would
211. 14:36never tell a person that's five, five, 90 pounds.
212. 14:40And when they look in the mirror,
213. 14:41if they look overweight, you would never say,
214. 14:42yes, you are overweight, because that would be cruel.
215. 14:45It's similarly cruel to affirm a lie
216. 14:49when everything about them screams out
217. 14:51being an image bear of God at the cellular level.

235. 15:57Shareathon edition of the program.
236. 15:59We're here on day two.
237. 16:01The number to call to make your gift is 877-616-2396.
238. 16:08That number again is 877-616-2396.
239. 16:12Let me say thank you so much for tuning in
240. 16:14to the program today.
241. 16:15And for those of you who have been listening for a while,
242. 16:18thank you for doing that.
243. 16:19For those of you maybe new to the program, welcome.
244. 16:21We are so glad that you are here,
245. 16:23no matter how you're listening,
246. 16:24wherever you're listening,
247. 16:25no matter where you're watching,
248. 16:27or how you're watching, thank you for doing that.
249. 16:30We are in the Shareathon, as I mentioned,
250. 16:33one of the two times per year, six days in total,
251. 16:36annually three in the spring three in the fall
252. 16:39where we communicate to you directly
253. 16:41and express our need for you to support
254. 16:43the work that we're doing here financially.
255. 16:45The number to call to make your gift is 877.
256. 16:48616-239-6 or you can go online and give securely there by going to AFR.net. That is for American
257. 16:59Family Radio, AFR.net where you can make your gift there for a one-time gift of $150 or more.
258. 17:07Just as an expression of our gratitude, you'll receive the It's My Turn Vol. 2 book from Brother
259. 17:14Don Wildman who is the founder of American Family Association and American Family Radio.
260. 17:20You heard a little bit during the break of Brother Don.
261. 17:24His visions began with his desire to just simply on an evening watch a television show
262. 17:30with his family and he could not find anything that would not assault his family's biblical
263. 17:36worldview.
264. 17:37So it began with the turn your TVs off week and his fight started there.
265. 17:44He began to realize, wait a minute, the reason why the programs all have this evil substance
266. 17:50is because there are worldview considerations.
267. 17:53Where have you considered racism?
268. 17:54I remember reading how one of the newsletters Brother Don sent out copies of excerpts of the
269. 18:01Communist Manifesto to let people read for themselves what were in them, which explained
270. 18:06why he was doing what he was doing. And that entire investment led to the fact after he made
271. 18:14his stand and continuing with the big networks, he got tired of being misquoted to where, can you
272. 18:20believe this? You do an interview with the New York Slimes and they actually nipped and took your
273. 18:25comments to make it seem like you said something you did not say. And he said, no, no, no, it's God's
274. 18:31will for his people to own the microphones and that led to the establishment of the American
275. 18:37Family Radio Network.
276. 18:38AFA began in 1977, the American Family Radio Network began in 1991 and it is because of the
277. 18:44support of listeners just like you that God has kept us on the radio all these years.
278. 18:50And so we are here today inviting you to continue that ministerial endeavor to continue this launch
279. 18:57base for truth into our culture by calling 877-616-2396.
280. 19:06That number again is 877-616-2396 or you can make your gift securely online by going to
281. 19:14aFR.net that is aFR.net.
282. 19:19Now I want to take a few moments now because I get to hear these just like you.
283. 19:22I haven't heard any of these in advance.
284. 19:25But to hear testimonies of listeners who are maybe just as you are in your car or wherever
285. 19:30you might be listening, they had the exact same experience yet they've called in to explain
286. 19:36how AFR has impacted them.
287. 19:38Let's take a moment and listen together to this listener testimony.
288. 19:42Hi, this is Mona from the Key Kentucky and I just wanted to say I originally found American
289. 19:49Family Radio by hearing American Family News on a different Christian radio station here
290. 19:57in Kentucky and I had to check it out because I couldn't believe I was hearing accurate
291. 20:04Christian news.
292. 20:05So I found American Family Radio on the internet and I downloaded the app and I've been listening
293. 20:11ever since and that's about six years ago.
294. 20:15I will say that American Family Radio, an American Family Network has really just impacted
295. 20:23me in becoming an engaged, voting Christian and paying attention to the political system
296. 20:30and really searching out the scriptures to see my responsibility to be an engaged citizen,
297. 20:36to stand against the gates of hell and to be fully engaged and adopt more of a biblical
298. 20:45world view. So thank you because I listened all day, every day, while I'm working or working
299. 20:51in the garden or working in my house or just working. So thank you so much for being existing
300. 20:58as long as you have. You've made a tremendous impact in my life and I share about your radio
301. 21:04station and app to everyone I encounter. Have a blessed day.
302. 21:09Wow, what a powerful testimony. You know that's phenomenal. American Family News is
303. 21:15is one of the ministry offerings we have here
304. 21:17under the Umbrella of American Family Association.
305. 21:19And the caller was actually absolutely right.
306. 21:22There are several other networks
307. 21:23outside of the AFR network who have come to pick up
308. 21:26the AFN Newscast that you hear
309. 21:29at the top of the hour of various times.
310. 21:31And so that was a vehicle through which she came
311. 21:33to learn about American Family Radio.
312. 21:35And then she downloaded the app,
313. 21:37which has been a great addition to the offerings here
314. 21:40because we have 180 some odds
315. 21:42to rest real stations around the country,
316. 21:44but through the wonder of technology,
317. 21:46we're able to get far beyond that.
318. 21:48I'll never forget when I got a note
319. 21:51from a sister in China.
320. 21:54Yes, she was working and listening
321. 21:56to American Family Radio in China,
322. 22:00albeit covertly through the wonders of digital technology.
323. 22:04And she asked how did you break through that?
324. 22:06It was because she was related to a foreign ambassador,
325. 22:12such one of those types,
326. 22:13they were able to get around China's firewall around the internet and there you were in the
327. 22:18belly of the beast in red China.
328. 22:21American family radio was being heard there.
329. 22:24So it's amazing what's available and when you support the work that we're doing here,
330. 22:28you help us develop that type of innovation.
331. 22:31When you make your gift by calling 877-616-2396, that is 877-616-2396, you contribute to
332. 22:42the creation of that kind of technology i can tell you guys a little inside
333. 22:46information
334. 22:47uh... that our own i t department created our app right here in house we did not
335. 22:51outsource to anybody
336. 22:53we did not use the algorithmic
337. 22:56uh... artificial intelligence bases
338. 22:58uh... members of our own team who share our world view
339. 23:02are the ones who created our app and it enables us to go all around the world
340. 23:06carrying the good news of christ in the communication
341. 23:09of a biblical worldview, how do you apply the scripture to these particular issues, that
342. 23:15is what you support when you give and the number to call.
343. 23:19If you're listening now, you say, man, I want to make my gift.
344. 23:20You can do so by calling 877-616-2396.
345. 23:26That number again is 877-616-2396, or you can give securely online by going to AFR.net.
346. 23:36That is AFR.net.
347. 23:39Now I want to take a few moments now because some of you might have seen this.
348. 23:44And right now France is on fire.
349. 23:48They're having, they're what's been described as protest to where a quarter million people
350. 23:53have hit the streets and it's, they're saying it started in schools where you have school
351. 23:58children attacking and assaulting teachers to think to that nature.
352. 24:02But President Trump weighed into the frame.
353. 24:05He says, no, no, no, no, no.
354. 24:06This is not the product of mere protest.
355. 24:09This is something else.
356. 24:11And Jeff, I don't know if you have that screenshot to show, yeah, if you would throw that up on
357. 24:14the screen so that people can read along with me as we share that.
358. 24:21But President Trump explained that, no, no, no, no, this is not just about what you might
359. 24:27think is just about school children and protest.
360. 24:32This is the product of something else, something far different than what President Trump shared,
361. 24:37and he posted this first on Truth Social.
362. 24:40He said, quote, what's happening in France is nothing less than out of control mass migration.
363. 24:49This isn't about schools.
364. 24:51This is about Islam wanting to take over a once great country in, quote, and I want to
365. 25:00say. In addition to that, make no mistake about it. There are people in our country who would
366. 25:06like to see what's happening in France be repeated right here. There are some who want
367. 25:11to see the same thing happen right here. Take a few moments and watch this clip and listen
368. 25:18to it that gives you an idea of what's happening in France. It is clip number one, clip one.
369. 25:23Go.
370. 25:25They came out by the tens of thousands. Students, joined by teachers and parents, blockading
371. 25:31the entrances to their school.
372. 25:34They have schools that fall into pieces and the government don't care a thing about them.
373. 25:41More than 250,000 took part across the country.
374. 25:45Shattering nearly 2,000 schools, the largest protest in nearly three weeks.
375. 25:50Why did you decide to protest today?
376. 25:52Because I think it's important to show that we disagree with the government.
377. 26:00The demonstrations began on September 17th,
378. 26:02over overcrowded classrooms and dilapidated buildings.
379. 26:08Some have turned violent, leading to more than 6,500 arrests
380. 26:12of mostly teenagers.
381. 26:14Angry at France's government, long burdened
382. 26:17by high debt and political gridlock.
383. 26:19At first, today's protests were mostly peaceful,
384. 26:22but the march was met by a heavy police presence
385. 26:24in Nation Square, as protesters lit dumpsters on fire
386. 26:29and threw rocks.
387. 26:32There you go.
388. 26:36Guys, it's literally on fire.
389. 26:38Now, if you believe that this is just some organic movement,
390. 26:41listen, I got some property in the Arctic to sell you.
391. 26:47Guys, just as we face in our own country,
392. 26:49there are people that are fomenting organized chaos.
393. 26:55They're seeking to use a chaotic environment
394. 26:59as a vehicle to make inroads,
395. 27:01To stop me if you heard this before,
396. 27:03fundamentally transform France.
397. 27:08And it's funny, my wife and I,
398. 27:11we have friends who live in Canada,
399. 27:12and they say Canada is widely regarded as the salad bowl.
400. 27:16Not a melting pot, because in Canada for years,
401. 27:19you've had massive amounts of migration into Canada,
402. 27:24but there is no effort to assimilate into Canada.
403. 27:27The effort is simply to carve out your own,
404. 27:32ethnic corner of Canada and make it a lot like the nation you came from. And they've succumbed to
405. 27:39that in the entire reality. And this is, you know, people get upset at this formulation, but this is
406. 27:44the foundational truth. Immigration without assimilation, guys, is an invasion. That is what it is.
407. 27:52Immigration without assimilation is an invasion. You know, I've long said, why is it that we
408. 28:01don't require something very simple like you know English competency come to
409. 28:08our country. Do you know if you migrate to Japan in order to become a citizen in
410. 28:12Japan you have to learn Japanese do you know do you realize that? It's kind of a
411. 28:17radical idea you know if you actually want to become a citizen they're not a
412. 28:20visitor. Now you can visit Japan and speak whatever language you want but if
413. 28:24you're going to become a citizen of Japan a naturalized citizen of Japan you have
414. 28:30to learn Japanese.
415. 28:32Isn't that a radical idea?
416. 28:34Isn't that a radical idea?
417. 28:35No, it's not a radical idea.
418. 28:37But we've been sold this really this cultural Marxist ideology
419. 28:42and sometimes people don't get caught up in the buzz,
420. 28:44in the terminology and view them as buzz words
421. 28:47and they check out.
422. 28:48But that is literally the grammcean strategy
423. 28:50to bulkenize the society, to weaken it,
424. 28:53not by direct confrontation,
425. 28:55but by death by a thousand cuts, so to speak.
426. 28:57that you erode and erode and erode and erode and erode and erode and he gets to
427. 29:01the place to wear a whole guess what you have a lot of people who are in in the
428. 29:04united states of america who hate america
429. 29:07how did that happen
430. 29:09our nation i'll be the first to tell you that our nation isn't perfect there is
431. 29:13no such thing as a perfect nation in the world but for people to act as if
432. 29:17america is nothing but evil
433. 29:20that's insane
434. 29:22because while you say that why is there such a lot of people who want to come to
435. 29:26our country
436. 29:26Last time I checked, I didn't see an open borders influx of folks trying to break into Cuba.
437. 29:31I haven't seen a whole bunch of folks trying to break into Place de Alleges, to Place de
438. 29:41Eliza, fortunate in the sacred honor to the Ayatollah, and I hadn't seen that.
439. 29:46I hadn't seen that.
440. 29:47I hadn't seen that.
441. 29:48Hadn't seen a whole bunch of people trying to break into Mogadishu.
442. 29:50Hadn't seen a whole bunch of folks.
443. 29:51Hadn't seen none of that.
444. 29:52None of that.
445. 29:55Which is why it's always so remarkable to me because you have people in our country that
446. 29:59agitators that would say America is just such a horrible place for minorities and
447. 30:03that they are the exact same people that want to try to invite minorities from
448. 30:06all over the world to provide people from all over the world to come to our
449. 30:08country to be minorities here. You can't go both ways and you know why to
450. 30:13happen focus. Somebody is lying, somebody is lying and we on this radio network are
451. 30:20going to continue to call out the lies and to tell the truth. So that is why we
452. 30:27We find it so valuable to invite you to call 877-616-2396, not the exclusive reason, but
453. 30:36one of the reasons why it is so valuable.
454. 30:39It's a worthwhile investment to keep a resource available that will stand flat-footed on the
455. 30:45truth of God's Word and to convey that truth unflinchingly.
456. 30:50877-616-2396 is the number to call 877-616-2396 is the number to call or you can give
457. 31:04securely online by going to AFR.net.
458. 31:08That is AFR.net.
459. 31:09In a few moments I want to go to another listener testimony but in the meantime I want
460. 31:15speak a little bit about the interaction between engaging our civic responsibility to vote and
461. 31:23the reality of how it contributes to the Great Commission's execution.
462. 31:28Pastor Bert Harper says all of the time that evangelism thrives best in an environment of
463. 31:35freedom.
464. 31:36It is because our nation historically has enjoyed that freedom that we've been able to send such
465. 31:43a potent quantity and a consistent quantity of missionaries into the world.
466. 31:50Well we want to preserve that capacity to do so, but at the exact same time our nation
467. 31:56has truly, truly become the mission field.
468. 32:01And so in light of that reality we need to have vehicles through which the gospel to
469. 32:07be conveyed, vehicles through which a biblical worldview is articulated, vehicles through
470. 32:12which that worldview can be developed.
471. 32:14You heard the previous caller who was from Kentucky
472. 32:17who mentioned that this radio network helped her
473. 32:19to develop a biblical worldview
474. 32:22and developed her ability to search the scriptures,
475. 32:26developed that ability to connect the scripture
476. 32:29to issues that were transpiring.
477. 32:32Guys, that is a viable, viable, and necessary skill
478. 32:37to cultivate in order to be salt and light in the land
479. 32:40where we are placed by guys divine providence.
480. 32:43877-616-239-6 is the number to call.
481. 32:48Guess what, to get to that?
482. 32:49Listen to testimony on the other side.
483. 32:50Other break, 877-616-239-6 is the number to call.
484. 32:55And if you're wondering, yes,
485. 32:56the music is equally disrespectful during Shareathon,
486. 32:59as it is, but we're not in Shareathon.
487. 33:01877-616-239-6, or you can give,
488. 33:05securely online at aFR.net.
489. 33:08On the other side of the break,
490. 33:09will get into a listener testimony, will get into a little bit of, hmm, isn't
491. 33:14this interesting? Since the Trump administration dismantled USAID, it seems
492. 33:20that in Central and South America, they're no longer voting for left wing
493. 33:23governments. Isn't that interesting? And when you find out what's happened in
494. 33:28Brazil with a Bolsonaro family, who's been described as the Brazilian Trump,
495. 33:33you are going to be amazed. More Sherrithon, the addition of the Hamilton
496. 33:38corner when we come back for the break. In honor of Brother Don and Linda Wildman,
497. 33:46it's Founders Day on AFR. One time in the past when I used to kind of spearhead
498. 33:55what we do with our semi-annual shareathons, we used to have it in a very tight kind of
499. 34:04environment room. It was very small compared to what we have today and there
500. 34:10was generally by the time we got going.
501. 34:14You might say it was organized chaos
502. 34:18because you had phones ringing and you had people all around.
503. 34:21And of course, we didn't do anything on computer monitors.
504. 34:25Everything was done with a pen and paper and so forth.
505. 34:28So there was a lot of camaraderie,
506. 34:31but there was just a lot of confusion, if you will,
507. 34:38going on at the same time.
508. 34:40It was glorious confusion, but it was confusing.
509. 34:44And I never will forget that in the midst of all of the hub of the sounds that were going
510. 34:52on all around us, I happened to notice out of the corner of my eye that off in one corner
511. 34:59of the room, there was dawn.
512. 35:04And I knew that he had had one of his grandsons and that he had brought him in with him.
513. 35:11And he just kind of, you know, was sitting there in his own world with this grandchild,
514. 35:20with all of this going on around us.
515. 35:24And he was just sitting there changing his diaper and totally oblivious to everything else.
516. 35:37And I've always thought that that was such a, you know, just an important moment.
517. 35:43And it captured what he really was about as a leader of a ministry like the American Family
518. 35:54Association, that, you know, hey, this was an important part time for us.
519. 36:03This is how we raised a lot of the monies that allowed us to do the job that we were
520. 36:10called to do with this ministry and what the Lord's purpose behind this mission was.
521. 36:19But all of that was secondary to that child right then and right there because to him that
522. 36:30was the most important person in his life.
523. 36:38And to me that epitomizes what Adon Weilman is all about.
524. 36:44Brother Don has been standing in the gap for families,
525. 36:47and Linda has been standing behind him since the inception of
526. 36:50this ministry more than 40 years ago.
527. 36:53We praise the Lord for our Founders' obedient service,
528. 36:56and we invite you to make a gift in their honor during
529. 36:58Sharethon on AFR.
530. 37:01Call now at 877-616-2396 to give,
531. 37:09or at pledgeonline at aFR.net.
532. 37:12It's Founders' Day on American Family Radio.
533. 37:16Welcome back to the Hamilton Corner,
534. 37:19Sharethon Editions,
535. 37:20fall, 2026 Sharethon edition,
536. 37:22that is of the Hamilton Corner,
537. 37:24Abraham Hamilton III here with you.
538. 37:27It's been a great time so far.
539. 37:29We have a few minutes left today,
540. 37:31about 15, 14 minutes and 20 and 40 seconds there.
541. 37:35They're about for today's Sharethon.
542. 37:39The number to call is 877-616-2396.
543. 37:44that number again is 877-616-2396 or you can give securely online by going to
544. 37:52afr.net that is afr.net I know we heard that one testimony as we came back with
545. 38:01the rejoin for the program I want to take a few moments now and listen to
546. 38:04another listener testimony just to share what God is doing in the hearts minds and
547. 38:11lives of listeners and viewers just like you.
548. 38:15Hi, this is Kelly from Bradley, Arkansas.
549. 38:19And when I started listening to AFR, it was through my dad and it just became an instant
550. 38:27hit.
551. 38:28And I'm so thankful for his leadership in that before he went home to be with Jesus.
552. 38:34now is part of my almost daily routine working from a car.
553. 38:41So one of my favorite things is that AFR is through love, but no doubt there is conviction,
554. 38:53and that's one of my favorite parts of listening because it keeps me in check and helps me stay
555. 39:00and it's always in God's timing is just what I need to hear when I need to hear it.
556. 39:06When I thought about what actually became convicted, about all that I pay for monthly subscriptions such as dish, netflix, or streaming channels,
557. 39:21and the fact that I've been a sick lately, eight to ten hours of five to six days a week for free,
558. 39:28Well, it became crystal clear that a monthly donation was the right thing to do.
559. 39:35AFR gives freely for users, our savers.
560. 39:39I feel like donating to AFR is an active obedience to God.
561. 39:44And I hope that anyone listening will be in agreement with me and donate anything that they can,
562. 39:50whether it's a little or more, because we need this resource in our lives, and I'm so thankful for it.
563. 40:00Man, did I hear her right?
564. 40:02She said, instead of Netflix, I need to make my subscription to American family
565. 40:07radio. And I ain't gonna tell y'all to do what she did.
566. 40:09And I don't wanna say you got to do that.
567. 40:11But I am not not saying I'm not not saying that you can do that.
568. 40:18You can become a great commission partner just like that last listener.
569. 40:22She said, eight to 10 hours a day, I benefit from AFR.
570. 40:26Every day of the week, I benefit from AFR.
571. 40:30Yet I'll pay the subscription services to these, shall we say, non-beneficial outlets necessarily.
572. 40:38That is a very, very good way to put it. And she said that this is a resource that we need. Wow,
573. 40:46what a strong, strong endorsement and really puts an appropriate frame on what is happening.
574. 40:58877-616-2396 is the number to call 877-616-2396 is the number to call to give your gift,
575. 41:12whether it's a one-time gift, as the listener just said, of any amount, frankly, guys, whether
576. 41:17it is small, whether it is large, the most important thing really from God's standpoint
577. 41:23is the heart condition behind it.
578. 41:26If you recognize that this is a value, you recognize this is something that is beneficial.
579. 41:30This is something that as a listener just said that we need that then it would be, it should
580. 41:36be worth that contribution.
581. 41:39877-616-2396 is the number or you can give online securely by going to aFR.net.
582. 41:47That is aFR.net.
583. 41:49All right.
584. 41:50I alluded to this earlier.
585. 41:52I want to dig into it now.
586. 41:54It's amazing that since USAID was dismantled, Central and South America in national election,
587. 42:04after national election, after national election is turning to be pro-American.
588. 42:10It's amazing.
589. 42:12In the nations, you can go right down Chile, Bolivia, Peru, Ecuador, Colombia, Honduras,
590. 42:21Costa Rica and in all of those nations they have ousted their regressive government in
591. 42:28regressive candidates and replaced them with people who embrace their versions of what I
592. 42:34would say of constitutional freedom although they don't have our constitution, they're rejecting
593. 42:39regressiveism, they're rejecting Marxism moving more towards a free market disposition, a free
594. 42:46dumb disposition and significantly a pro-American disposition. And in nations like Argentina,
595. 42:54where they have Javier Mille as their nation's leader, he was able to stave off left-wing
596. 43:01challenges in one huge in Argentina's basically legislative elections last year, it's amazing
597. 43:10to see and I want to share a bit about what specifically is happening in the Bolsonaro
598. 43:16family in Brazil because you remember their left wing government sought to persecute him
599. 43:23because he was right regarded as Brazil's Trump president, Brazil's Trump. They literally
600. 43:28put him in jail. They put him in jail, but it's turning out to be probably the worst decision
601. 43:35that these regressives may listen to and watch clip number two, clip two go.
602. 43:40We have a mapper, I hope we have a map
603. 43:42who put it up on the full screen,
604. 43:43how socialism has lost during the Trump years
605. 43:47to what I'm just gonna call free enterprise anything,
606. 43:52anything but socialism.
607. 43:53Now, the red was really mostly Brazil.
608. 43:56I know the colors are reversed,
609. 43:58but the blue is a forecast of what's happening
610. 44:01to Central and South America.
611. 44:04And I just think this is the Trump period,
612. 44:06the Trump influence, Daniel.
613. 44:09So absolutely.
614. 44:10So I mean, since Donald Trump's reelection in 2024, there have been about seven presidential
615. 44:14elections across Latin America, and all seven have moved in a right-wing direction.
616. 44:18All seven have moved in the direction of electing conservatives and throwing out the left, which
617. 44:23has been such a plague on Latin America for so long.
618. 44:26Now Brazil, of course, is the largest prize of all, and the son of former President Gera
619. 44:31Bolsonaro did phenomenally well in the first round of the presidential election on Sunday
620. 44:37and is really the favorite to win on October 25 in the second round as well.
621. 44:41Now, this is what you have to understand, especially in the Bolsonaro case.
622. 44:49So the former Brazilian president was Jair Bolsonaro.
623. 44:53This is the guy who was being described as a Brazilian Trump.
624. 44:56This is a guy who the regressive government who came in after him.
625. 45:00They literally put him in jail.
626. 45:01He is right now, as I'm talking to you, on house arrest in Brazil.
627. 45:05He's on house arrest.
628. 45:06Well, see what happened was that backfired on them boomerang style.
629. 45:15Bigly, bigly.
630. 45:17Why am I saying that?
631. 45:18Well, the leading candidate to be the newly elected president in Brazil right now is Dyer
632. 45:25Bolsonaro's son, Flavio Bolsonaro.
633. 45:29As you just heard in the clip, Flavio Balcenaro put the maliwap on the incumbent left wing
634. 45:37Marxist loving president in Brazil and is yes.
635. 45:42And is the leading candidate there.
636. 45:44Election will be October 25th.
637. 45:46He is widely expected.
638. 45:47Now think about this.
639. 45:48The son of the former president who was on house arrest is about to be elected president
640. 45:55of of brazil my wife sent a clip up to me of flavio
641. 45:59on
642. 46:00live
643. 46:01in brazil praying
644. 46:03said asking god to bless brazil
645. 46:06in saying to god that he knows that god has appointed him to be brazil's next
646. 46:09president
647. 46:10and asking god to cause
648. 46:13favor for his nation
649. 46:15to accompany his election as president i mean the man turn red as he's
650. 46:20praying
651. 46:21on a tv
652. 46:23for their country. Not only that, Flavio, as I mentioned, is the lead candidate to be president.
653. 46:28He defeated the leftist incumbent, Luis Ignacio Lula de Silva,
654. 46:33in the first round of the country's elections this past weekend.
655. 46:37Then that's only a little bit of the story. Then you have Jair Bolsonaro's wife, Michelle Bolsonaro.
656. 46:44She won an election to their federal senate, as did Flavio's younger brother.
657. 46:50Flavio's younger brother Carlos, Balsonaro, is going to the Senate with his mama.
658. 46:57Now think about this, older brother, younger brother and mama going into the government.
659. 47:02Older brother expected to be president, younger brother expected to be in the Senate, mama's
660. 47:07going to be in the Senate with him.
661. 47:08You think that's it?
662. 47:09That's not even it.
663. 47:10We go even further because then you have Flavio's another younger brother named Carlos.
664. 47:17Carlos Bolsonaro also got elected to serve as the federal deputy and a third son of Jayar
665. 47:24Bolsonaro.
666. 47:25Jayar Renan Bolsonaro was elected to serve.
667. 47:29That's not even it.
668. 47:30Jayar Bolsonaro's brother, Renaro Bolsonaro got elected to serve in their federal elections.
669. 47:36So the entire Barkley Canal family is saying boom-doom-doom-da dum-dum-dum-dum-dum-dum-dum-dum-dum...
670. 47:49I think they're probably gon' regret putting the daddy in jail.
671. 47:53I foresee a pardon.
672. 47:54Uh I think I think they probably regret that.
673. 47:56And then what do you know maybe old fl questioned he is dead with a pardon.
674. 48:01You think?
675. 48:02You think?
676. 48:03Guys, this is crazy was happening and I want to reiterate the fact that this is,
677. 48:07And it's amazing.
678. 48:08USAID gets dismantled and then all of a sudden, I mean, one nation turning toward a conservative
679. 48:18form of government would have been interesting.
680. 48:20But seven in a row, in the last seven federal elections in Latin and I'm sorry, in Central
681. 48:27and South America, it's having over and over and over and yes, I'm sure they are frustrated
682. 48:32with Marxism in those countries.
683. 48:36I don't think that's just a coincidence.
684. 48:40I don't think that, I don't think that is just a coincidence.
685. 48:45That is very, very interesting on an international front.

694. 49:24that is AFR.net.
695. 49:26In the next few minutes, I wanna listen to another listener
696. 49:29call if we can.
697. 49:30Bobby, let me know you tip your kango when you're ready.
698. 49:33You know, it's kango slim, y'all's gonna see him over here.
699. 49:35You know what I'm saying?
700. 49:36Kegel Slim came to pump the part,
701. 49:38as was going on in the studio.
702. 49:39Listen with us to this listener testimony.
703. 49:42Go.
704. 49:43This is Paula Hodge.
705. 49:44I am from Tupelo, Mississippi.
706. 49:47I've been listening to AFR for way over 10 years.
707. 49:51And I listened to it starting at eight o'clock
708. 49:54in the morning till about the click clock at night
709. 49:58and everything, every day, 24-7.
710. 50:01The Bible scriptures on there that they mentioned,
711. 50:03I'll look at my Bible to make sure I have them underlined and marked.
712. 50:08AFR is a true blessing to everyone who listens to it.
713. 50:13Well, praise God.
714. 50:14I'm grateful that that is a blessing to this sister.
715. 50:22And man, I pray it is a blessing to everyone, frankly,
716. 50:27all around the world.
717. 50:28Now, this really, or I'm going to share now,
718. 50:30is really, really a grotesque, if you ask me,
719. 50:33because as I mentioned earlier, the stuff that's happened in France, there are people who
720. 50:37want to do the same things here.
721. 50:39We are a three years removed from the horrendous, the most grotesque day in Israel's history since
722. 50:45the Holocaust where the most Israelis were slaughtered in one day.
723. 50:48And the majority of them were Israeli civilians by Hamas, funded, trained, and prepared by
724. 50:54Iran.
725. 50:55And yet, in our country, you have, frankly, evil people who look to Mark October 7th as
726. 51:03a day of celebration. And I'm talking about demonically inspired people who are
727. 51:09Islamists, who are looking to see hostility toward the Jewish people. Listen
728. 51:16to this will not be a video. This is just audio, but listen to this clip. I'm
729. 51:20going to repair you now. It is going to be provoking. Clip number three, clip three,
730. 51:24go. It is a day with many complexities and it is a rather difficult day for many
731. 51:29Jewish New Yorkers marking the third anniversary of the Hamas attack on Israel.
732. 51:35And also, people will be closely watching Mayor Mom Donnie in his response today, as it is his
733. 51:40first year marking the Sombre anniversary as mayor. And he has been very critical of Israel's
734. 51:46response to the October 7 attack. There are also many protests planned for today.
735. 51:51There are also vigils planned for today. But you'll recall, it was in 2023 when the militant
736. 51:57group Hamas launched the brutal terrorist attack against Israel, killing more than 1200 people
737. 52:02and taking 251 hostage. Israel then launched a massive military response in Gaza, which resulted
738. 52:09in thousands of Palestinian deaths. Can't resist, can't it? It's not a day filled with complexity.
739. 52:19It's not a day and it is it is grotesque to see how many people in our own country
740. 52:26are disabused of necessary discernment.
