[0:00] Speaker 1: Submitting Yourselves to One Another in the Fear of Christ,
[0:03] Speaker 1: Ephesians 5, 21 Dear Lord, You model perfect submission and
[0:09] Speaker 1: cooperation in the Trinity, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, all
[0:13] Speaker 1: working together and obeying each other to accomplish great things.
[0:18] Speaker 1: We pray that You would empower us with the same
[0:20] Speaker 1: type of cooperation, respect, and mutual submission to our fellow
[0:24] Speaker 1: brothers and sisters in Christ. For all our disagreements and
[0:28] Speaker 1: small arguments, We pray that love would never leave our
[0:31] Speaker 1: conduct and respect would never leave our lips. Give us
[0:34] Speaker 1: the humility to see people's perspectives, but also the conviction
[0:38] Speaker 1: to never waver on the truth. Give us a spirit
[0:41] Speaker 1: of unity, a bond of peace that surpasses worldly relationships.
[0:46] Speaker 1: We trust you to unite us under your name and
[0:49] Speaker 1: use us for your mission. We pray all these things
[0:52] Speaker 1: with hope in our hearts, and we pray all these
[0:55] Speaker 1: things in Jesus' name. Amen. Welcome to Prairie News, where
[1:01] Speaker 1: hope is our only bias. Today's news at a glance,
[1:04] Speaker 1: Oliver Anthony responds to his song being used for political partisanship.
[1:08] Speaker 1: Spanish Soccer Federation President Luis Rubiales' inappropriate behavior sparks a
[1:13] Speaker 1: Me Too movement in Spain. And Florida's worst fears come
[1:16] Speaker 1: true as Hurricane Idalia arrives. A couple of today's stories
[1:20] Speaker 1: require nuance. Not everything in this world can be fit
[1:24] Speaker 1: neatly into a dichotomy right or left. Jesus, for example,
[1:28] Speaker 1: angered the religious right and the religious left of the time,
[1:30] Speaker 1: the Pharisees and the Sadducees. One of the only things
[1:33] Speaker 1: that the two factions could agree on was their hatred
[1:36] Speaker 1: for Jesus. This signals to us that sometimes following Jesus
[1:40] Speaker 1: forces us to operate outside worldly divisions. Paul even reminded
[1:45] Speaker 1: us that there is neither Jew nor Greek, slave nor free,
[1:48] Speaker 1: male nor female. The cultural and ideological titles we give
[1:52] Speaker 1: ourselves erode under the beauty of Christ and his missions.
[1:56] Speaker 1: So today, let's embrace Christ by putting the political divide aside.
[2:00] Speaker 1: Let's find balance, and when we ultimately stumble and fail
[2:04] Speaker 1: to be consistent, we trust in Christ's grace to get
[2:06] Speaker 1: us back on track. We're excited to bring you the
[2:09] Speaker 1: news today, and we hope it leaves you informed and transformed.
[2:12] Speaker 1: But for our first story, let's hear a word from
[2:14] Speaker 1: these sponsors. Today's first story revisits Oliver Anthony's song, Richmond,
[2:19] Speaker 1: North of Richmond. Amid the cacophony of political rhetoric, a
[2:23] Speaker 1: new voice has emerged, Oliver Anthony. He gained rapid fame
[2:27] Speaker 1: for his acoustic song, Richmond, North of Richmond, resonating with
[2:31] Speaker 1: many working class people across the nation who are fed
[2:34] Speaker 1: up with politicians and the rich and ruling class that
[2:37] Speaker 1: own them. His song is still trending at number one
[2:40] Speaker 1: across America, without big record labels or TV deals backing him. However,
[2:45] Speaker 1: as politicians and media figures rush to appropriate his music
[2:49] Speaker 1: for their agendas, Anthony calls for a timeout. His recent
[2:53] Speaker 1: video disavows any political association and chastises conservatives and liberals
[2:58] Speaker 1: for distorting his message. Oliver Anthony, whose real name is
[3:03] Speaker 1: Christopher Anthony Lunsford, is a Virginia farmer who shot to
[3:06] Speaker 1: fame after his viral success, Rich Men North of Richmond,
[3:10] Speaker 1: a song that laments societal woes like substance abuse and
[3:13] Speaker 1: high taxation. The song speaks about low wages for hardworking
[3:17] Speaker 1: Americans and high taxes keeping people down. The song's bold
[3:21] Speaker 1: proclamations against the corruption of politicians resonated with millions who
[3:25] Speaker 1: also feel fed up with the people meant to represent them.
[3:29] Speaker 1: The right-wing media has given Oliver Anthony an exorbitant amount
[3:33] Speaker 1: of attention, featuring his song in the Republican primary debate.
[3:37] Speaker 1: In fact, the Republican primary debate started with Oliver Anthony's song,
[3:42] Speaker 1: and the first question was centered around why it's resonating
[3:45] Speaker 1: with so many people. Anthony's response to his song being
[3:48] Speaker 1: used at the debate? Chuckles mixed with a bit of frustration.
[3:52] Speaker 1: I wrote that song about those people, said Anthony, emphasizing
[3:55] Speaker 1: the politicians were far from the heroes of his lyrical narrative.
[3:59] Speaker 1: He went on to say this, It's aggravating to see
[4:02] Speaker 1: people on conservative news try to identify with me like
[4:05] Speaker 1: I'm one of them. It's aggravating seeing certain musicians and
[4:08] Speaker 1: politicians act like we're buddies and like we're fighting the
[4:11] Speaker 1: same struggle here. It was funny seeing my song at
[4:14] Speaker 1: the presidential debate because I wrote that song about those people,
[4:17] Speaker 1: you know? So for them to have to sit there
[4:20] Speaker 1: and listen to that cracks me up, unquote. Like most Americans,
[4:24] Speaker 1: Oliver Anthony holds nuanced political views that can't be placed
[4:28] Speaker 1: in a neat box of Republican, Democrat, liberal, or conservative.
[4:32] Speaker 1: Anthony finds himself at the crossroads of a cultural tug-of-war
[4:35] Speaker 1: that we can all relate to. He lambasted right-wing figures
[4:39] Speaker 1: for assuming he was on their side while also denouncing
[4:42] Speaker 1: some of the left for mischaracterizing his lyrics for their
[4:45] Speaker 1: own political agendas. Anthony believes that his music transcends simple
[4:50] Speaker 1: political barriers, a statement verified by the global and diverse
[4:53] Speaker 1: range of fans emotionally impacted by his song. The Virginia
[4:57] Speaker 1: Farmer also challenged liberal interpretations that accused him of attacking
[5:01] Speaker 1: the poor. He claimed that it references the inefficiency of government,
[5:05] Speaker 1: and that's all the song is trying to say. His
[5:07] Speaker 1: words remind us of the delicate dance between art and interpretation,
[5:11] Speaker 1: between an artist's intent and the audience's perception of that song.
[5:16] Speaker 1: An interesting note in all of this is just how
[5:18] Speaker 1: many record deals, political rallies, and interviews Anthony has said
[5:22] Speaker 1: no to. He's left millions of dollars on the table
[5:25] Speaker 1: for the sake of doing what he thinks is right.
[5:27] Speaker 1: The Oliver Anthony phenomenon reminds us of the parable of
[5:30] Speaker 1: the sower. The seed in this case, his music and
[5:33] Speaker 1: the message of his music, falls on various kinds of ground, political, social,
[5:37] Speaker 1: and cultural. Some seeds are snatched up by birds, like
[5:41] Speaker 1: political co-opting. Some fall on rocky ground, misinterpretation. And yet
[5:45] Speaker 1: some may fall on good soil, leading to an understanding
[5:48] Speaker 1: and being impacted by that song in a genuine way,
[5:51] Speaker 1: the way that Anthony actually intends. Anthony, who believes that
[5:55] Speaker 1: divine intervention has placed him in his current position, resonates
[5:58] Speaker 1: with the essence of what our faith advocates, human dignity
[6:01] Speaker 1: and compassion over political divisions. The divisive times call for
[6:05] Speaker 1: balanced perspectives, and Anthony's accidental free fall into the political
[6:09] Speaker 1: arena mirrors the state of our polarized society. This is
[6:12] Speaker 1: an opportunity for believers to revisit Christ's teachings about the
[6:15] Speaker 1: kingdom of God that surpass any earthly kingdom. Jesus, before
[6:19] Speaker 1: he was crucified, stood before Pilate and said, My kingdom
[6:22] Speaker 1: is not of this world. Religious dogma, political fights for power,
[6:26] Speaker 1: and corruption were all at play when Jesus was crucified.
[6:29] Speaker 1: But he knew that he had a mission that transcended
[6:31] Speaker 1: worldly power structures. We, too, have a mission that goes
[6:35] Speaker 1: beyond right, left, blue, and red. Before jumping onto the
[6:39] Speaker 1: bandwagon of labeling or appropriating Anthony's message, we should remember
[6:43] Speaker 1: the essence of the gospel. It is a message for all,
[6:46] Speaker 1: unbound by political or social divides. In a world increasingly
[6:49] Speaker 1: torn apart by political strife, the story of Oliver Anthony
[6:52] Speaker 1: pushes us to reflect on where our true allegiance lies.
[6:56] Speaker 1: Is it in the kingdoms of this world or the
[6:58] Speaker 1: kingdom of Christ? Amidst the noise, let's choose to listen
[7:01] Speaker 1: to the still, small voice that calls us back to love, dignity,
[7:05] Speaker 1: and unity. With all that being said, let's lift this
[7:07] Speaker 1: story up in prayer. Heavenly Father, we lift up Oliver
[7:10] Speaker 1: Anthony and all those who find themselves thrust into the spotlight,
[7:13] Speaker 1: facing the complex pull of politics and societal opinions. May
[7:17] Speaker 1: his message and the message of artists everywhere remind us
[7:20] Speaker 1: to look beyond our earthly divisions to the eternal values
[7:23] Speaker 1: of dignity, compassion, and love. Guide us to listen to
[7:27] Speaker 1: the quiet voice calling us towards unity in Christ. especially
[7:30] Speaker 1: in these polarized times. May we be pillars of peace
[7:33] Speaker 1: amongst a culture that is constantly wanting to war and divide.
[7:39] Speaker 1: Lord Jesus, would you help us to respect our fellow
[7:42] Speaker 1: brothers and sisters and also uphold conviction and compassion in
[7:46] Speaker 1: the same exact breath. We love you, Lord, and we
[7:49] Speaker 1: trust you to help us in these trying times. In Jesus' name, amen.
[7:53] Speaker 1: Our second story today comes with some clarification. We recognize
[7:57] Speaker 1: that the Me Too movement and similar movements like it
[8:00] Speaker 1: spark a lot of controversy. What we want to do
[8:03] Speaker 1: is highlight the dignity and the agency of every single
[8:06] Speaker 1: individual who bears the image of God. We are in
[8:08] Speaker 1: no way advocating for one sort of political party over another.
[8:13] Speaker 1: Hopefully by this time you understand that pray is not
[8:16] Speaker 1: in the business of taking sides in that way. We
[8:19] Speaker 1: are on the side of Christ and respect, love, and
[8:22] Speaker 1: dignity of individuals. So, with all that being said, let's
[8:25] Speaker 1: get into the second story. In an era where the
[8:28] Speaker 1: Me Too movement is forcing institutions to confront their treatment
[8:31] Speaker 1: of women, Spain's women's soccer team faces a similar reckoning.
[8:35] Speaker 1: The triumph of Spain's win over England in the Women's
[8:38] Speaker 1: World Cup has been marred by the controversial actions of
[8:41] Speaker 1: Spanish Soccer Federation President Luis Rubiales. He grabbed star-forward Jenny
[8:46] Speaker 1: Hermosa's face and kissed her without consent during the victory ceremony.
[8:50] Speaker 1: sparking massive backlash from players, the federation, and the public.
[8:54] Speaker 1: Rubiales defends his actions, asserting that Hermosa gave him consent,
[8:59] Speaker 1: a claim that she denies. The Spanish federation has also
[9:03] Speaker 1: called for Rubiales' resignation, even requesting that the UEFA suspend
[9:08] Speaker 1: Spain's participation in European competitions if he doesn't step down.
[9:13] Speaker 1: Should this happen, clubs like Real Madrid and Barcelona would
[9:16] Speaker 1: suffer financially. Adding to the circus, Rubiales' mother went on
[9:20] Speaker 1: a hunger strike to defend her son, claiming that he
[9:23] Speaker 1: did nothing wrong. The incident has triggered broader conversations about
[9:27] Speaker 1: the state of women's soccer and the mistreatment of female
[9:30] Speaker 1: athletes in Spain and globally. There is palpable anger among players, politicians,
[9:34] Speaker 1: and team sponsors. The Spanish women's soccer team and other
[9:37] Speaker 1: female athletes in Spain have threatened a boycott if Rubiales
[9:40] Speaker 1: does not resign. The hashtag YaCabo, which translates to It's
[9:45] Speaker 1: Over hashtag, is being used to indicate that that such
[9:48] Speaker 1: behavior is unacceptable, an echo of the wider MeToo movement
[9:52] Speaker 1: that happened a few years ago. Sponsors have begun to
[9:55] Speaker 1: distance themselves from the Federation, but have stopped short of
[9:58] Speaker 1: cutting ties altogether. This reveals the double standard at play.
[10:02] Speaker 1: Soccer in Spain is a part of the nation's identity,
[10:04] Speaker 1: and any action against it might be problematic. Even so,
[10:09] Speaker 1: for sponsors to continue backing an organization with a leadership
[10:12] Speaker 1: that openly disrespects women sends a problematic message to their consumers.
[10:17] Speaker 1: And so they find themselves stuck between a rock and
[10:19] Speaker 1: a hard place here. There's a deeper issue at play.
[10:22] Speaker 1: The complex issues surrounding this incident go far beyond Rubiales' actions.
[10:27] Speaker 1: For years, Spain's female soccer players have suffered neglect and disregard.
[10:31] Speaker 1: There are even stories similar to this one starting to
[10:34] Speaker 1: bubble forth. The federation dedicated less than 1% of its
[10:38] Speaker 1: budget to the women's program. But attitudes are beginning to
[10:41] Speaker 1: change since the financial value of women's soccer has started
[10:45] Speaker 1: to be recognized as substantial and a good opportunity for investors.
[10:49] Speaker 1: So clubs are making minor investments showing promising returns. But
[10:53] Speaker 1: more needs to be done to ensure that women in
[10:55] Speaker 1: sports are given the respect and dignity that they deserve.
[10:58] Speaker 1: It's crucial to remember that every individual, regardless of gender,
[11:01] Speaker 1: is made in the image of God. We know this
[11:04] Speaker 1: from Genesis 127. Men and women are both made in
[11:07] Speaker 1: the image of God. The dignity and worth of every
[11:10] Speaker 1: person is not dependent on their athletic abilities, on their
[11:12] Speaker 1: socioeconomic status, or their gender, but on their intrinsic value
[11:16] Speaker 1: as creations of God. This means that respect for women's
[11:20] Speaker 1: dignity should be a non-negotiable standard in sports, but all
[11:23] Speaker 1: sectors of society. In Ephesians 5.21, Paul teaches that we
[11:28] Speaker 1: should This mutual submission transcends all relationships, including those in
[11:34] Speaker 1: the worlds of sports. The recent events in Spain remind
[11:37] Speaker 1: us that true change does not just come from financial
[11:40] Speaker 1: calculations or public relation maneuvers, but through a transformation of
[11:43] Speaker 1: the heart and the mind that values every individual's worth.
[11:47] Speaker 1: For Spain, and indeed the whole world watching, this is
[11:50] Speaker 1: a pivotal moment. It's a time for reflection, repentance, and
[11:53] Speaker 1: most importantly, change. As the public and as Christians, we
[11:56] Speaker 1: must continue to demand that institutions like the Spanish Soccer
[12:00] Speaker 1: Federation meet the standards of justice and respect that all
[12:03] Speaker 1: individuals deserve. while also recognizing that everyone makes mistakes. And
[12:08] Speaker 1: one mistake does not mean that someone ought to be
[12:11] Speaker 1: hated and ostracized for the rest of their lives. If
[12:14] Speaker 1: there's true repentance that's shown, then true forgiveness must also
[12:17] Speaker 1: be shown. That's a value we also hold dear. So,
[12:21] Speaker 1: with all this complicated mess in mind, let's lift this
[12:24] Speaker 1: up to the Lord and pray that He helps us
[12:26] Speaker 1: navigate stories like these with grace. Lord, we come before You,
[12:30] Speaker 1: asking for justice and respect to be upheld in all
[12:33] Speaker 1: areas of society but also in our hearts. We pray
[12:36] Speaker 1: for the Spain's women's soccer team and for women athletes
[12:39] Speaker 1: everywhere that they may be treated with dignity and the
[12:42] Speaker 1: dignity that they deserve as your creations. Guide the leaders
[12:45] Speaker 1: and institutions responsible to make a choice that reflect those values.
[12:49] Speaker 1: And let this moment be a catalyst for lasting change,
[12:52] Speaker 1: not just on a global scale, but in every single
[12:55] Speaker 1: one of us who values everybody's personal agency and gives
[12:59] Speaker 1: the respect to every image bearer. Lord, we pray that
[13:03] Speaker 1: you would lead us with grace and that when we
[13:05] Speaker 1: all make mistakes, you would lift us up to be
[13:08] Speaker 1: better every single day, not just for our own pride,
[13:11] Speaker 1: not just for the success of institutions, but for your glory,
[13:14] Speaker 1: Lord Jesus. We pray these things in your name. Amen.
[13:19] Speaker 1: Our last story today is an update on a story
[13:21] Speaker 1: that is going to be ongoing, so stay tuned for
[13:24] Speaker 1: more updates. Florida's worst fears came true as the first
[13:28] Speaker 1: rays of light broke through the horizon. Hurricane Idalia made
[13:31] Speaker 1: landfall near Keaton Beach at 7.45 a.m. on Wednesday as
[13:35] Speaker 1: a Category 3 storm. Governor Ron DeSantis urged Big Bend
[13:39] Speaker 1: residents to hunker down and seek shelter. Don't mess with
[13:42] Speaker 1: this storm, DeSantis cautioned. Despite advance warnings and evacuation orders
[13:47] Speaker 1: in more than 30 Florida counties, many residents chose to stay,
[13:51] Speaker 1: wrongly judging the storm by Florida's history with past hurricanes.
[13:55] Speaker 1: The rest was a devastating event. The storm surges predicted
[14:00] Speaker 1: to reach up to 16 feet. The timing of this
[14:03] Speaker 1: storm couldn't be worse. Coming just ahead of the busy
[14:06] Speaker 1: Labor Day weekend, the hurricane has disrupted air travel and
[14:09] Speaker 1: posed challenges to relief efforts. Several airlines have issued waivers
[14:14] Speaker 1: for travelers near and affected areas. But the economic toll
[14:17] Speaker 1: of this natural disaster has yet to be calculated fully.
[14:21] Speaker 1: In a world increasingly troubled by natural disasters, the Christian
[14:24] Speaker 1: community must ask what we can do. Scripture reminds us
[14:28] Speaker 1: that the earth is the Lord's and everything in it
[14:30] Speaker 1: in Psalm 24.1. Are we doing enough to be good
[14:33] Speaker 1: stewards of God's creation? As we see devastating storms like
[14:37] Speaker 1: Idalia more frequently, we must consider the impacts of climate change.
[14:40] Speaker 1: But that doesn't mean subscribing to any particular political agenda,
[14:44] Speaker 1: but acknowledging that caring for the earth is a sacred responsibility.
[14:49] Speaker 1: Speaking of sacred responsibility, at this moment the role of
[14:51] Speaker 1: the church cannot be overstated. Churches are not merely buildings
[14:55] Speaker 1: of worship, they are pillars of the community. And so
[14:58] Speaker 1: while the government has an essential part to play in
[15:00] Speaker 1: relief efforts, churches have a unique ability to reach out
[15:04] Speaker 1: to their congregants and community members on a personal level
[15:07] Speaker 1: in the way the government can't. Several churches have already
[15:10] Speaker 1: turned their facilities into temporary shelters and relief centers, accommodating
[15:15] Speaker 1: both people and pets. They've extended their roles to coordinate
[15:18] Speaker 1: with local authorities to distribute essential supplies like food, water,
[15:22] Speaker 1: and medical aid. Church members are volunteering around the clock
[15:25] Speaker 1: to help their neighbors, embodying the spirit of love thy
[15:28] Speaker 1: neighbor as yourself that Jesus declares. It is often said
[15:31] Speaker 1: in the depths of adversity that the church can shine
[15:34] Speaker 1: its brightest. As Paul said in Romans 12, rejoice in hope,
[15:38] Speaker 1: be patient in tribulation, and be constant in prayer. As
[15:42] Speaker 1: we unite to face the devastation left by Hurricane Idalia,
[15:45] Speaker 1: let us do the same with compassion, resilience, and a
[15:49] Speaker 1: profound sense of unity. Churches, alongside other community organizations, have
[15:54] Speaker 1: a golden opportunity to live out the gospel in practical ways.
[15:57] Speaker 1: Whether it's providing shelter, giving out essential supplies, donating, or
[16:01] Speaker 1: simply offering a shoulder to lean on. It's these acts
[16:05] Speaker 1: of kindness that reflect Christ's love in a world that
[16:07] Speaker 1: desperately need it. Now more than ever, the church must
[16:11] Speaker 1: rise up. to meet the needs of its people, fulfilling
[16:14] Speaker 1: its role as the hands and feet of Jesus on earth.
[16:17] Speaker 1: As Florida recovers and rebuild, let us all remember to
[16:20] Speaker 1: pray unceasingly, act justly, and love mercy. It's tragedies like this,
[16:25] Speaker 1: but also the hope of seeing the church rise up
[16:28] Speaker 1: that remind us there's needs all around us. And Jesus
[16:31] Speaker 1: has called us to meet those needs for his glory
[16:34] Speaker 1: and for the good of the world around us. This
[16:37] Speaker 1: is a glorious mission, my fellow believers. that we can
[16:40] Speaker 1: be an anthem of hope in a world that seems
[16:44] Speaker 1: hopeless and dying. May we always be showing the love
[16:47] Speaker 1: of Christ, not just in the words we say or
[16:50] Speaker 1: the media we consume, but in our actions of compassion. So,
[16:55] Speaker 1: with all this being said, let's close our time together
[16:58] Speaker 1: in prayer. Heavenly Father, we come before you in this
[17:01] Speaker 1: time of need, as Hurricane Idalia has brought devastation upon
[17:04] Speaker 1: communities in Florida. We pray for their safety, healing, and
[17:07] Speaker 1: a swift recovery of all those affected. Guide the hands
[17:11] Speaker 1: and the hearts of those offering aid, from first responders
[17:13] Speaker 1: to government officials to those volunteers from church that are
[17:17] Speaker 1: being a beacon of light and love in these trying times.
[17:21] Speaker 1: We pray for safety. We pray that hope would rise
[17:25] Speaker 1: out of the ashes. And we pray all these things
[17:28] Speaker 1: knowing full well that you are a hope to the hopeless,
[17:32] Speaker 1: a shelter to the homeless. In Jesus' name we pray. Amen.
