    A Revival Story
    Jul 25 2025
    Randy Melchert speaks with Pastor Bob Hassel about an outbreak of revival at his church in Champaign, Illinois. The interview explores the challenges of ministry in a post-Christian nation and the pursuit of revival, drawing from personal experiences and historical examples. It emphasizes the importance of prayer, transparency, and humility as foundational elements for encountering God, recounting a transformative revival experience in the church and the subsequent ministry assisting others. The speaker underscores that true revival isn't about grand events but a return to a normal, intimate relationship with God, marked by honest confession, a willingness to be vulnerable, and a recognition that God's plan surpasses human understanding, ultimately leading to a deeper joy and a desire to share His love.

General Assembly next September. --Iran confirmed on Monday it will not give up its nuclear enrichment program. --A foreign national from Lebanon has been sentenced to nearly 4 years in prison for conspiring to violate the International Emergency Economic Powers Act and the Iranian transactions and sanctions regulations when he attempted to smuggle U.S. made drills into Iran. --The U.S. will examine "alternative options" to bring home the 50 captives held by Hamas as the terrorist group "does not appear to be coordinated or acting in good faith," according to U.S. Mideast Envoy Steve Witkoff. --The U.S. Department of Justice and U.S. Attorneys Office for the District of Columbia have unsealed a civil forfeiture action targeting approximately 2 million dollars in digital currency allegedly tied to a Gaza based terror finance network. --Newly released Israeli Defense Forces footage exposes Hamas operatives living in luxury beneath Gaza's devastated streets, feasting on elaborate meals in well-stocked underground tunnels while the terrorist group simultaneously spreads propaganda, claiming that Israel is starving the Palestinians. --A woman in her 70's was indicted for an alleged attempt to assassinate Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

    Russiagate
    Jul 24 2025
    Recently, Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, released a declassified file that she indicates contains overwhelming evidence that former President Barack Obama and his national security team manufactured and politicized intelligence pertaining to Russian collusion. This goes back to when candidate Donald Trump was accused of colluding with Russia in order to influence the 2016 presidential election. Gabbard indicated that she's submitted a criminal referral to the Department of Justice and as such, the Justice Department has formed a strike force to assess the evidence. Returning to Crosstalk to discuss this latest news was Robert Knight. He's a former Los Angeles Times news editor and columnist for the Washington Times as well as other publications. Take the time to review this edition of Crosstalk as Robert reveals why this case truly does have the evidence behind it to qualify as a conspiracy. As he points out, the FBI and other intelligence agencies assessed the idea that the Russians were colluding with the Trump campaign so that he would win the 2016 election. They concluded that there was low intelligence (low value) so it probably wasn't true. However, they released the report saying just the opposite; that it had high value. They leaked it to the press who then accused Trump of colluding with the Russians and hearings took place, all designed to cripple Trump's presidency. So what's really going on here and why does it matter all these years later? Was Russian collusion designed to not merely destroy Trump but to protect Hillary Clinton. After all, wasn't it her campaign that allegedly paid for the Steele Dossier that kicked this off?
