Join Bill Bunkley today for a powerful, faith-informed dive into the stories shaping our nation and our communities. The country's attention remains locked on the alarming forced disappearance of 84-year-old Nancy Guthrie, mother of TODAY show co-anchor Savannah Guthrie, as federal and local authorities intensify their search in Arizona amid reports of abduction, a possible ransom note, and signs of foul play—now entering its fifth day with no suspects identified. We'll also cover President Trump's participation and message at the National Day of Prayer Breakfast, highlighting calls for unity, faith, and national healing. Closer to home in Florida, praise God for His protection: authorities arrested a 14-year-old linked to violent extremist chatrooms who allegedly planned a mass shooting at a Wimauma church, averting potential tragedy through swift action. On the pro-life front, encouraging data shows abortions in Florida have dropped dramatically—down nearly half since Roe v. Wade's overturn and further plummeting under the six-week ban—with fewer procedures reported in 2025. Plus, a major win for child protection as the American Society of Plastic Surgeons issues a clear position recommending against gender-reassignment surgeries (including breast/chest, genital, and facial procedures) for those under 19, citing insufficient evidence of benefits outweighing risks in this vulnerable population. Bill brings his signature Christian worldview to these headlines and much more—don't miss this timely episode packed with insight, prayer, and perspective at the intersection of faith and current events!
