    U.S. Senator KATIE BRITT (R-Alabama) joins us with warnings that pro-abortion groups want to muzzle Free Speech rights of pro-lifers…and zeroes in on Massachusetts newly enacted law allowing abortion right up moment of birth, which she deems “despicable & disgusting.” U.S. House Speaker MIKE JOHNSON (R-LA)—joining us from the campaign trail in New York City this week—looks at this past Tuesday’s primaries including an ultra-radical DSA member winning the Democratic nomination for U.S. Senate in Florida; he predicts a “crossroads Midterm election for America” this November. U.S. Ambassador to Israel MIKE HUCKABEE in Jerusalem raises new security concerns for Israel as tensions between Turkey and Syria bubble over. JAMES ROSEN, chief Washington correspondent for Newsmax, predicts that internal battles within the Democratic Party will make their dream of retaking the Senate in November more daunting that originally hoped. And TONY PERKINS delivers a commentary focusing on unresolved issues—including high gas prices and the ongoing war with Iran—which could pose real dangers for the GOP heading into November 3rd. All this—and more—coming up on our latest edition of THIS WEEK ON CAPITOL HILL with Tony Perkins, sponsored by AARP. http://aarp.org See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    VOMRadio - LIBYA: Martyr's Widow Says "We Wanted Our Lives to Glorify Jesus"

    On September 11, 2012, Islamist fighters attacked a United States diplomatic compound in Benghazi, Libya. Four Americans were killed in that attack. Just a few months later, Ronnie and Anita Smith, a young American couple, moved to Benghazi with their infant son. Their goal was to live out their faith in Christ and have opportunities to introduce Libyan people to Christ. "We wanted to live our lives out in a place that didn't know Jesus," Anita Smith says. Anita acknowledges that there was fear in moving to a dangerous place, especially soon after a deadly attack on Americans. But Anita says God gave both her and Ronnie peace about residing in Libya to further God's Kingdom. Days after Ronnie's death in December of 2013, Anita was on national TV in the United States (CNN and CBS This Morning) and on Arabic-language TV all over the Middle East, forgiving her husband's killers and expressing her love for the Libyan people. Listen as Anita recalls the day she learned her husband had been martyred and how she received comfort from the Lord through her family, church, and Christian friends—the Body of Christ in action. Ronnie Smith taught chemistry to high school students at the Benghazi International School and was admired for his knowledge and chemistry skill, but even more for his warm personality and love for his students. Anita shares how their Libyan neighbors looked out for them and welcomed them into their families, spending time together, drinking tea, and talking about life and faith. When she hears of Libyans who started following Christ after hearing the testimony of her and Ronnie, it's a powerful reminder of how Christ is using their sacrifice. Listen also as she shares how we can pray for the widows of persecuted Christian martyrs all over the world today. Anita was one of the four amazing women who shared their stories of persecution and God's faithfulness during the Hearts of Fire Virtual Event. You can sign up to receive prayer requests from persecuted Christians by email each week at www.iCommitToPray.com, including this request for Christians sentenced to prison in Libya. The Hearts of Fire Virtual Event is also available in the free VOM App for your smartphone or tablet, which also helps you pray daily for persecuted Christians in nations like North Korea, Nigeria, China, and Iran. The app also gives you free access to e-books, audiobooks, video content, and feature films. Download the VOM App for your iOS or Android device today.

    New Life LIVE - New Life LIVE: August 21, 2026

    Caller Questions & Discussion: JJ shares about the story of Joseph, which he often teaches at the end of the Every Man’s Battle Intensive. Despite jealousy, lies, abuse, slavery, false accusations, imprisonment, and famine, Joseph could say, “You meant evil against me, but God meant it for good” (Genesis 50:20). I’m struggling with acceptance because shame comes over me. I’d like to move forward. How do you overcome that? I was always told I was a good kid and was a listener, but I never applied it to myself. After hearing my neighbors’ dogs bark for 4 months straight, I called the police and animal control. I feel responsible that it led to an investigation to see if they were also neglecting their kids, and I feel targeted by other neighbors. My wife died 4 months ago and I met a widow in a grief group who recently lost her husband. What should my next step be? I know it’s too early for me to start another relationship. I’ve lost all faith and trust in Christianity. I was an altar boy in the oldest church in America, but it was all in Latin. I’m very discouraged to hear that there are other religions that have very similar stories as Christianity.
