For most of modern Western scientific history, mind reading has been dismissed as fantasy. Itâs a topic mainstream medicine ignores, as it canât be explained without challenging the materialist worldview â that the universe and everything in it is merely physical stuff â which has dominated science since the Enlightenment.But one person is changing that. Dr. Diane Hennacy, a neuroscientist and author, says her research proves that mind reading, telepathy, and other paranormal abilities are not only possible, theyâre thriving in a very specific population: nonverbal autistic people.In this riveting interview, Glenn Beck speaks with Dr. Hennacy about mind-bending phenomena that will upend the way you think about human consciousness. Dr. Hennacyâs research inspired the highly popular podcast âThe Telepathy Tapesâ â a deep dive into claims of telepathy, savant skills, and other types of extrasensory perception in nonspeaking autistic people.Most believe that autistic individuals who cannot speak arenât cognitively functioning at full capacity. In other words, theyâre not âall there,â but Dr. Hennacy says the opposite is true. Theyâre ultra there. Even though autism is the result of a disruption in oneâs brain development, the brain doesnât necessarily fail to develop; it just pivots and develops differently to accommodate for a loss of sensory motor skills.Her theory is that when autism bars a child from verbal communication and typical cognition, he taps into different kinds of processing. âIt's a more primal sense that I think we all have, but what happens is it gets buried ... and it atrophies to some extent,â she explains.These alternative pathways to knowledge and communication give people abilities the neurotypical world canât even begin to fathom, like the ability to read minds, communicate telepathically, accurately predict the future, perform complex skills theyâve never been taught, and access hidden information â almost as if they see beyond the physical realm into an immaterial plane of universal knowledge.Dr. Hennacy gives several examples: a boy who could sense illness in people, children who can read their caretakerâs mind with near perfect accuracy, and people who can perform extraordinary tasks without ever having been taught.Non-speakers sheâs met and studied from all over the world report congregating at a place dubbed âthe hillâ â an immaterial spiritual space they say is âguarded by angels,â who teach them things.âIf you look at spiritual traditions, [specifically] Eastern spiritual traditions, they talk about a place that sounds just like the hill, and it really is a spiritual realm that you can go to when you reach a certain level of spiritual development,â says Dr. Hennacy.âIn a way, I think that we all come from the hill, and what happens is as we identify more and more with this identity â as Diane or Glenn or whoever ... we become more and more disconnected from the source that we come from,â she theorizes.âNow what we need to do is we need to learn how to climb the hill back up, and I think that these autistic kids, it's almost like theyâre our sherpa guides.âTo hear Dr. Hennacyâs story â how she went from a scientist committed to the materialist paradigm to one of the worldâs leading experts in extrasensory perception â and hear more of her stunning research, watch the full interview above.Want more from Glenn Beck?To enjoy more of Glennâs masterful storytelling, thought-provoking analysis, and uncanny ability to make sense of the chaos, subscribe to BlazeTV â the largest multi-platform network of voices who love America, defend the Constitution, and live the American dream.

On Monday, Sept. 23, the Canadian Food Inspection Agency and Royal Canadian Mounted Police invaded and occupied Universal Ostrich Farms near Vernon, British Columbia.They havenât left. Hundreds of federal police and CFIA inspectors remain on-site, many now in hazmat suits they only donned after questions were raised about why, if the birds were truly a health threat, they had originally worn only uniforms without masks.Pasitney and her mother were arrested that same day on charges of 'animal cruelty.' Their alleged crime was trying to feed their birds.Karen Espersen and Dave Bilinski own the farm, which is managed by Espersenâs daughter, Katie Pasitney. Since an alleged H1N1 avian flu outbreak on Dec. 19, 2024, Pasitney has become the farmâs public voice. Although the ostriches have remained healthy for more than 250 days, Prime Minister Mark Carneyâs Liberal government still insists that all 399 birds must be destroyed.Even interventions from Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Dr. Mehmet Oz have not persuaded Ottawa to reconsider.'Animal cruelty'?What frustrates Pasitney most is that the CFIA refuses to test the birds â or even allow the farmers to do so. Under quarantine orders, testing a single ostrich could result in a $200,000 fine and six months in jail per bird.After losing in the Federal Court of Appeal, the farm won a temporary reprieve last Wednesday when the Supreme Court of Canada granted an interim stay of execution while it decides whether to hear the case.But the ordeal has only worsened. Pasitney and her mother were arrested that same day on charges of âanimal cruelty.â Their alleged crime was trying to feed their birds. The Supreme Court ruling requires the CFIA to remain on the farm, now responsible for providing the ostriches with food and water. âItâs like putting the foxes in charge of the henhouse,â Pasitney told Align.RELATED: Dead bird walking: RFK Jr. is the only hope for 399 healthy ostriches on Canada's chopping block David Krayden/Alex Wroblewski/Getty ImagesâA classic display of punishmentâExhausted after two nights without sleep â due to RCMP patrols circling the property with headlights flooding her home â Pasitney spoke to this reporter.What you're seeing here is a classic display of punishment. This is not justice. This is punishment for standing up for whatâs right. It started as a request for collaboration â we explained that we know our animals and that theyâre healthy. All we asked was to test them without facing six months in jail and $200,000 fines. Instead, the government is spending millions in taxpayer dollars to persecute humble farmers who love their animals.Pasitney said political support has been slow. While some Conservative MPs have spoken out, party leader Pierre Poilievre â who narrowly lost the last federal election â has remained silent.âWhere are our leaders?â she asked. âWhen 40 police cars came down the highway at dawn, we knew it might be the last time we stood on our own property with our animals.âEscalating intimidationPasitney recounted how she and her mother endured arrest, while hay bales were mysteriously set on fire and RCMP helicopters and drones harassed their livestock.That should never happen to anybody, especially when you have healthy animals. The world is screaming for them to be saved. ⌠Instead, our taxpayer dollars are being used to take down law-abiding farmers while real criminals â rapists, murderers, pedophiles â roam free.
Reality is hard for many people across the political spectrum to accept, especially when it comes to children being raised by their married, biological mother and father.âBefore you post your caveats and your kind of exceptions to that, that is the ideal. That is in general true. That is in principle true. Every data set we have â and weâll get into some specific numbers â shows that kids are best suited to live with their married biological mom and dad,â BlazeTV host Allie Beth Stuckey says.While sometimes the scenarios that lead to a child being separated from both or one of his biological parents are tragic, sometimes theyâre also simply because of the âsexual revolution that has occurred over the past 20 years and especially the past 10 since Obergefell.ââWe are talking about intentionally creating motherless and fatherless children, intentionally taking children out of the ideal and putting them in â in the most charitable terms â a less than ideal situation, knowing that the data shows us that this is not best for their well-being,â Stuckey explains.And itâs no longer just two men or two women ensuring that children grow up in these less than ideal, fatherless or motherless situations.In Canada, three men who are in a âpolyculeâ adopted a three-year-old girl through Quebecâs youth protection services. The âpolyculeâ had to be approved first as foster parents, which they say required âa lot of work and openness to their relationship.ââItâs through that process that they learned that we are a little different because weâre three, but weâre not different from any other family,â one of the men said in an interview.âYou actually are, though, because youâre three dudes, which tells me you have no moral limits. Like if youâre willing to not only defy nature, and you are willing to defy even liberal definitions of marriage, and you live in some kind of inherently unstable polycule situation, then you do not have the correct components to raise a child,â Stuckey says.âEven if we take religion out of it, letâs just look at this scientifically,â she continues. âTwo men or two women who want to be in a relationship have to acknowledge that they do not have the parts that are needed to create a child. And therefore, because biology, not bigotry, has set limitations on your reproductive abilities, then there should be limits and restrictions and regulations around your ability to obtain and raise a child.ââIâm very sad for this little girl. ⌠This little girl would be better off in foster care until she is 18 years old than living with three men who are living in a polycule situation. One hundred percent. Because there is no end to the confusion and instability and chaos that a situation like this can cause,â she adds.Want more from Allie Beth Stuckey?To enjoy more of Allieâs upbeat and in-depth coverage of culture, news, and theology from a Christian, conservative perspective, subscribe to BlazeTV â the largest multi-platform network of voices who love America, defend the Constitution, and live the American dream.
Yesterday, 23-year-old Robin Westman fired through windows of Annunciation Church in Minneapolis, Minnesota, killing two children, aged 8 and 10, and injuring 17 others, 14 of whom were children and three of whom were elderly parishioners. Westman also died from a self-inflicted gunshot.Shortly after the heinous event, it was revealed that Westman identified as transgender. Before he changed his name to Robin, his name was Robert.But before the news about Westmanâs gender identity broke, Liz Wheeler, BlazeTV host of âThe Liz Wheeler Show,â intuitively knew the shooter would be trans.âBefore we knew the identity of this shooter, this murderer, I predicted ... that the shooter would be trans,â she says.How was Liz able to predict Westmanâs gender identity with such precision?Because thereâs an undeniable link between transgenderism and violence. âThe transgender ideology is intended to be violent. The transgender ideology is intended to do exactly what it did to Audrey Hale in Nashville and exactly what it did to Robert Westman in Minneapolis,â she says. âItâs intended to turn vulnerable young people into kamikazes.âTransgender ideology, coupled with critical race theory, is how the left unleashes destruction, Liz explains, noting that both of these frameworks are âoffshoots of critical theoryâ â âa Marxist theory that came out of the Frankfurt School back in the 1960s.âCritical theory, she explains, uses ârelentless criticism of institutions,â using the âMarxist dialecticâ of âthe oppressor versus the oppressedâ to sow discord and bring destruction on the culture, specifically race and gender.âSo what happens when our children are indoctrinated with critical race theory and then trans ideology?â she asks.When it comes to CRT, white kids âstart feeling this incredible self-loathing because theyâre told it doesnât matter how you think about people of another race; it doesnât matter if you arenât racist at all. ... Because the color of your skin means that you enjoy white privilege. All of your success is built on the back of those who were oppressed by people who look like you hundreds of years ago, and you bear responsibility for that.âThen theyâre hit with queer theory, which tells them that if they experience âany kind of feelings of confusion or discomfort in [their] body, [they] can change [their] gender.âWhat is the effect of this combination? Ashamed white children, but especially boys, are damned to wear the badge of white oppressor unless they can prove that theyâre also a victim. And how do they do that?âBecome one of the oppressed,â Liz says.âPut on this mantle, this LGBTQIA+++ mantle. Suddenly, youâre one of the oppressed, and youâre okay. Youâre not bad. Youâre not toxic. Youâre not evil. Youâre a victim.âThe final stage of grooming comes next. Once a child is blinded by the victimhood narrative, theyâre told that the oppressors are Christians, conservatives, and anyone who opposes their ideology.âTheyâre told, âWatch out. Youâre going to be subject to a genocide inflicted by Republicans and by Trump,ââ Liz says. âThey are turned against themselves and everything around them.âHatred consumes them, and they convince themselves that heinous acts of violence are justified. They may even see themselves as heroic â as âvanguardsâ of the revolution.Thatâs how people like Robert Westman and Audrey Hale are born, and thatâs why Liz knew that the Minneapolis shooting was almost certainly a transgender-identifying person.âChrist have mercy on our nation,â she pleads.To hear more of Lizâs analysis, watch the episode above.Want more from Liz Wheeler?To enjoy more of Lizâs based commentary, subscribe to BlazeTV â the largest multi-platform network of voices who love America, defend the Constitution, and live the American dream.
After a week of online outrage over its rebranding, the Cracker Barrel restaurant chain announced that it was giving in on one key part of its revised image. In a statement to Fox Business on Tuesday, the company said it would be reverting back to its original logo after having released a cleaner, text-only logo that excised the "old-timer" character. 'We said we would listen, and we have.' "We thank your guests for sharing your voices and love for Cracker Barrel," the company said. "We said we would listen, and we have. Our new logo is going away, and our âOld-Timerâ will remain. At Cracker Barrel, it's always been â and always will be â about serving up delicious food, warm welcomes, and the kind of country hospitality that feels like family."Some on social media tied the announcement to advice given by President Donald Trump earlier that day on Truth Social. "Cracker Barrel should go back to the old logo, admit a mistake based on customer response (the ultimate Poll), and manage the company better than ever before. They got a Billion Dollars worth of free publicity if they play their cards right," the president wrote."Very tricky to do, but a great opportunity. Have a major News Conference today. Make Cracker Barrel a WINNER again," he added. The rebranding also included a decluttering of the famous interiors to make them more sleek and modern. RELATED: Cracker Barrel desperately rewrites 'inclusion' and DEI web page after backlash Photo by GREGORY WALTON/AFP via Getty Images The day after the rebranding announcement, the stock price for the company plummeted initially by about 15%. It has since regained much of that loss. Blaze Media co-founder Glenn Beck vehemently criticized the rebranding. "Woke ideology has changed our country in countless ways, some of which we may never get back. But Cracker Barrel has always represented the one thing I think so many Americans currently crave: nostalgia," Beck said. "'Rebrand' all of that to something more modern, something more inclusive, and something that erases those feelings, and you're 'rebranding' the sole reason why anyone goes there to begin with," Beck added.Cracker Barrel CEO Julie Felss Masino had previously said the rebrand effort was an attempt to make the chain relevant again. "As a proud American institution, our 70,000 hardworking employees look forward to welcoming you to our table soon," the company concluded. Like Blaze News?

Approximately 3 million people have signed a petition in support of Harjinder Singh, an illegal alien truck driver accused of killing three Americans on a Florida highway.Last week, the nation was rocked when video appeared to show Singh attempting a U-turn on the Florida Turnpike while driving an 18-wheeler, pulling the rig across two lanes of traffic and killing three passengers in a minivan that crashed into his truck.Singh has been charged with three counts of vehicular homicide and three counts of manslaughter, jail records show. He also has been placed on an immigration hold.Now, a Change.org petition has popped up in support of the illegal alien driver, which contains bizarre requests and even more strange messages of support.'I know it was an accident. He made a terrible mistake, not a deliberate choice to harm anyone.'The India Times reported that Singh failed an English proficiency test, answering just two of 12 questions correctly while also being unable to identify more than one of four road signs.The petition, however, claims that Singh should get lenient sentencing because he has no prior "criminal intent or history," despite being an illegal immigrant. The petition does not mention his failures in the post-crash testing.Instead, the petition suggests a "proportionate and reasonable sentence" or "alternative sentencing measures," such as "restorative justice, counseling, or community service."The comments in support of Singh are also garnering attention, as many appear to be pre-prepared and identical.RELATED: License to kill: The nationwide scam turning America's highways into death traps The petition highlights three featured comments on the page, chosen by creator Manisha Kaushal. Two of those comments are exactly the same, word for word (archived here).The page also includes video testimonies from supporters, many of which are also identical, as pointed out by an X user. Account XJosh showcased four different supporters reciting the following: I am in support of Harjinder Singh. I know it was an accident. He made a terrible mistake, not a deliberate choice to harm anyone. He was working hard to support his family like so many of us. One wrong decision changed everything. A 45-year prison sentence is not justice. Other comments, such as "shame on your white injustice" and "please save our brother," revealed that some supporters harbor racist sentiments.Blaze News reached out to the petition's creator and asked for clarification on the possible "alternative sentencing measures," as well as Singh's immigration status and his failure to properly communicate in English. No reply was provided.RELATED: American trucking at a crossroads: Deadly crash involving illegal alien exposes true cost of Bidenâs border invasion ICE officers and Florida Lt. Gov.

Department of Homeland Security official Tricia McLaughlin has also noted that Singh's work authorization was rejected in 2020 under President Trump but granted under President Biden in 2021.Singh was granted a commercial driver's license in both California and Washington.Like Blaze News?

Months after scrapping its digital service tax in the face of threats from President Donald Trump, Canada's liberal government has caved once again.This time, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney â who put on quite the show about defying the U.S. while campaigning for office earlier this year â announced on Friday that Canada is dropping retaliatory tariffs on a number of American products in hopes of improving both relations with the White House and outcomes in future trade talks with the United States.Canada was one of the only countries in the world that retaliated against Trump's tariffs, imposing three rounds of retaliatory measures, reported the Globe and Mail. These measures included a 25% tariff on roughly $21 billion of American goods including orange juice and motorcycles and a 25% tariff on American cars.Citing Trump's tariffs under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, "substantial trade actions" on the Canadian lumber industry, Trump's reciprocal and sectoral tariffs, and recent deals struck between the U.S. and other countries, Carney noted that "the breadth and depth of the changes in U.S. trade policy have become more fully apparent.""Under the new U.S. approach, countries must now 'buy access to the worldâs largest economy' through tariffs, investments, unilateral trade liberalization, and policy changes in their home markets," said the prime minister.Carney attempted to put a positive spin on the situation, stating that as a result of America's reaffirmation that Canadian exports to the U.S. that are compliant with the Canada-United States-Mexico Agreement won't be subject to IEEPA tariffs, the "actual U.S. average tariff rate on Canadian goods is 5.6% and remains the lowest among all its trading partners, and more than 85% of Canada-U.S. trade is now tariff-free."RELATED: Trump's policies are stifling transgender activists in Canada, and there's nothing they can do about it STEFAN ROUSSEAU/POOL/AFP via Getty ImagesIn the interest of preserving what Carney framed as "the best trade deal with the United States," the prime minister said that effective Sept. 1, Canada will remove all of its tariffs on American good specifically covered under the CUSMA.Canada, like the U.S., will, however, retain tariffs on steel, aluminum, and automobiles.'He is showing extraordinary weakness.'"The United States is the worldâs largest, most dynamic economy, and Canada is one of its most important commercial partners," said Carney."Canada is the second-largest foreign investor in the U.S., and many of our companies are essential to the complex supply chains that drive American competitiveness," continued the prime minister. "Canada is embarking on a transformation of our military and security capabilities to defend Canadians â investments that will create multiple opportunities for new defense and security partnerships."Trump told reporters in the Oval Office on Friday that he had a "very good call with Prime Minister Carney of Canada yesterday morning," that "we want to be very good to Canada," and that the removal of the tariffs was "nice."Canadian Conservative Party Leader Pierre Poilievre mocked Carney, calling the tariff removal "another capitulation and climbdown by Mark Carney," reported Canadian state media."Today, he removed even almost all the tariffs on the United States and got none lifted for Canada," said Poilievre. "He is showing extraordinary weakness."Like Blaze News? Bypass the censors, sign up for our newsletters, and get stories like this direct to your inbox. Sign up here!
Pastor and contemporary Christian music performer Sean Feucht says his recent experience in Canada â being banned from public venues in six cities â is a sobering reminder of how different America could have been under a President Kamala Harris.In an exclusive interview, Feucht praised religious freedom under President Trump, while expressing hope that Canada would soon find its own "deliverance:"'There are dark spiritual forces at play. And I think a lot of people's eyes are being opened to that reality.'âIt was looking really dark in the Biden administration â attacks on churches, weaponizing the IRS, weaponizing the DOJ to go after pro-life activists," Feucht told me. "Now, we're so grateful, because we have a president that is standing up in religious liberties, the right to worship, that does fear God.""I just did a worship record inside of the White House," Feucht marveled. "It gives me a lot of hope that if God can do it in my country, that He can do it in Canada as well. Iâm praying that those days of deliverance would come soon to the ... frozen chosen in Canada.âFeucht told me that his real wake-up call came at his July 25 concert. After a planned appearance in Quebec City was canceled, Feucht and his team managed to find a Spanish-language evangelical church willing to host them in Montreal. Over the objections of Montreal Mayor ValĂŠrie Plante â and the presence of police â the show went ahead. Now the Ministerios RestauraciĂłn Church faces a $2,500 fine.Feucht said police who arrived on the scene did little but intimidate his congregation, declining to react even when an Antifa protester threw a smoke bomb.Despite the less-than-warm welcome from authorities, Feucht remains determined to bring his message to Canada.Nothing shuts us down â not the weather, not Antifa, not mayors, not governors. When we say weâre going to come somewhere and worship, weâre going to do it. ... They just could not bear to see the fact that we were not going to be controlled.Feucht told me that he drew much of his strength from the pastors and congregants who stood with him.âIn the face of enormous opposition, we saw fearlessness,â Feucht said. âThat is a picture of what God is doing all across Canada right now â He's raising up that remnant bride, that remnant strong body that's not going to be pushed around.âCanadian media also did its part to oppose Feucht, repeatedly labeling him âMAGA-affiliatedâ or an agent of Donald Trump. Feucht calls that lazy journalism.âTheyâre banking on the fact that people won't actually research and look at our tons of videos and recaps and ... podcasts â you could not assume ... that we come to Canada with a MAGA agenda,â he said. âItâs ridiculous.âRELATED: Worship leader Sean Feucht blindsided by Canada's anti-Christianity Anadolu/Getty ImagesFeucht rose to prominence during the COVID lockdowns, when he launched "Let Us Worship" to push back against what he calls government overreach into churches.Feucht called the anti-Christian attitude in Canada âdemonicâ and stood by that description during our interview, saying there were âdark spiritual forcesâ behind the political oppression.âYou can only say that it is spiritual, you know, that there are spiritual forces at work,â Feucht said, observing that it wasnât just evangelicals or âchurchgoing folks" who questioned the treatment he received while in Canada.Why are you attacking ⌠outdoor worship services, deeming them a public safety hazard and canceling all the permits and then allowing, essentially, Antifa to infiltrate a church and throw smoke bombs. I mean, it's just at the point where you begin to realize, man, there are dark spiritual forces at play. And I think a lot of people's eyes are being opened to that reality.Feucht will return to Canada on Aug. 20 with a concert in Winnipeg, followed by shows in Saskatoon, Edmonton, and Abbotsford.Edmontonâs event will be held on the steps of the Alberta provincial legislature at the invitation of Premier Danielle Smith. Abbotsford, despite its Bible Belt reputation, has denied him a public venue; he is petitioning that decision on his website.âGod will use things like this to expose,â Feucht said. âItâs happening in the U.S., and in Canada, and around the world. As believers, we've got to pay attention, we've got to be like those who understand the times and the seasons in which we live."Watch my interview with Sean Feucht here:
Yesterday, in yet another act of mass violence, a gunman identified as Shane Tamura killed four people, including an NYPD officer, and critically wounded another in a shooting at 345 Park Avenue in Midtown Manhattan before taking his own life.âYou're going to hear all kinds of things,â says Glenn Beck. âYou're going to hear âmore gun control,â yada yada yada. But will we ever talk about the real issues here?â The real issue, he explains, is not guns but mental illness, which Tamura had a âhistory of.âAccording to a handwritten note found in his pocket, Tamura targeted the office building on Park Avenue specifically because the National Football League headquarters are located there.âHe wanted to express his grievance with the NFL,â says Glenn. Tamura claimed to suffer from chronic traumatic encephalopathy â a degenerative brain disease linked to repeated head trauma.Thus far, police have found no evidence to confirm whether Tamura had CTE, but it was confirmed that he played football in high school.In his suicide note, Tamura requested that his brain be studied.âThis is a tale of insanity,â sighs Glenn. Itâs âa tale of evil, a tale of broken minds, a tale of innocence destroyed in the place where it was least expected, a skyscraper in New York turned slaughterhouse and a Monday night that turned to mourning.âAnd itâs no isolated tale. Around the same time as Tamuraâs murderous rampage, another gunman killed three people and injured three others in the valet area and parking lot of the Grand Sierra Resort in Reno, Nevada. The suspect was shot by police and taken into custody in critical condition.While âno motive has been determined so far,â itâs clear that âwe have an epidemic of mental illness in this country,â says Glenn.Just a couple of months ago, Glenn experienced this personally when he and his wife were in Manhattan.âA black guy on a bike rides towards us, and he begins to circle us on his bike on the sidewalk ⌠all the while looking me right directly in the eye and pointing with one hand, the other on the handlebars, saying, âI'm going to kill me a white man today,ââ Glenn recalls.âLuckily, he noticed that I had two armed security people behind us. He recognized maybe they might kill a black man on a bike today. He rode away. The man was clearly unstable.ââWe have become a society that has gone into madness. ⌠How much more madness will it take before we stand up and say enough is enough?âTo hear more of Glennâs commentary and analysis, watch the episode above.Want more from Glenn Beck?To enjoy more of Glennâs masterful storytelling, thought-provoking analysis, and uncanny ability to make sense of the chaos, subscribe to BlazeTV â the largest multi-platform network of voices who love America, defend the Constitution, and live the American dream.
I didnât want to write this. I still donât.The push notification lit up my phone while I was working out â campers swept away as the Guadalupe River surged dozens of feet in under an hour. I walked out of the gym and teared up in my truck.Now Iâm stuffing sunscreen and swimsuits into two trunks. My older two kids head off to sleepaway camp next week. How do I tell them the adventure theyâre so giddy about just turned fatal for other families? What can a keyboard jockey like me offer when other parents are living a nightmare? My first instinct was to close the laptop, whisper a prayer, and stay quiet.But silence isnât always the faithful response.Entire campsites â from Kerr County to the back roads of Texas Hill Country â have been wiped away. Parents who expected mosquito bites and ghost stories are now scanning riverbanks for anything recognizable. They donât need punditry. They need the rest of us to witness their grief without turning it into the next battleground in the culture war.Thatâs the part I dread most.Within hours of the first siren, the internet erupted in blame. Was it climate change? Outdated flood maps? Local negligence? Federal failure? Pick your camp, rack up your retweets, move the score marker. The bodies werenât even identified before the hashtags started trending. Itâs as if weâve forgotten how to mourn without also trying to win.'Where was God?' feels like the only honest question when the water rises. But storms donât mean vengeance, any more than sunsets are Godâs apology.Then thereâs that phrase believers lean on â âthoughts and prayers.â âTs and Ps,â as Gen Z sneers. If I lost one of my kids, those words would feel like a whispered lullaby in a room suddenly emptied of breath â tender, well-meaning, and painfully inadequate.Not because prayer is pointless. Because the clichĂŠ is.When calamity struck, Jobâs friends âsat with him on the ground seven days ⌠and no one spoke a word to him, for they saw that his grief was very great.â No carbon emissions debate. No X threads. Just presence. Silence. Solidarity.Maybe thatâs the posture we need now â especially along a river whose name, Guadalupe, traces back to âriver of the wolf.â Creation still has teeth. Even waters we picnic beside can turn predator in a single thunderstorm. Wolves hunt in packs. They also protect their own. Maybe thatâs the symbolism: The same river that devoured so many calls the rest of us to move as a pack â toward the survivors, not away.Real faith doesnât show up as a hashtag. It comes in the form of casseroles and chain saws, spare bedrooms and Venmo links. It hauls soggy photo albums into the sun. It listens more than it lectures. When Jesus met Mary and Martha at the tomb, He wept before He preached. Maybe thatâs the order weâve lost.RELATED: Liberal women quickly learn what happens when you say vile things about little girls killed in the floods Photo by Jim Vondruska/Getty ImagesSo what can we do from a distance?Give until it pinches â money, blood, bottled water, even unused PTO if your workplace allows donations. Relief crews will need support for months, not days.Go if you can. Student ministries, church groups, skilled contractors â this work doesnât end when the cameras leave.Guard these familiesâ dignity. Share verified donation links, not drone footage of recovered bodies. If you wouldnât show the image to your child, donât post it.Grieve aloud. Let your kids see adults who donât numb tragedy with mindless scrolling.And yes, pray â not as a substitute for action, but as its source. Prayer is oxygen for those on their feet. When the apostle James said, âFaith without works is dead,â he might as well have been looking out the window of a rescue chopper.I get the temptation to shake a fist at heaven. âWhere was God?â feels like the only honest question when the water rises. But storms donât mean vengeance, any more than sunsets are Godâs apology. Scripture calls Him a refuge and redeemer, not a puppet master yanking strings to break hearts. Turning away from God now is like fleeing the only lighthouse in a gale.If grief makes prayer sound hollow, answer the hollowness with action â and with the stubborn belief that the Creator remains good, even when creation feels cruel.I still donât want to write this. Iâd rather tuck my kids in tonight and pretend rivers respect property lines and holiday weekends. But if this piece offers anything, let it give permission to mourn without politicizing. For one day â one hour even â let grief be grief. Let dads hold their kids tighter. Let moms remind us that safety doesnât come with a zip code. Let the church prove itâs more than a Sunday address.With the sparklers of Independence Day barely cooled, maybe the most patriotic thing we can do is recover the lost art of compassionate presence. No monologue â including this one â can fill a bunk bed left empty. But through gifts, sweat, silence, and prayer, maybe we can shoulder a sliver of the weight.If youâre reading this in a dry living room, remember the families whose furniture is floating somewhere downriver.Before you post, pause.Before you debate, donate.If âthoughts and prayersâ still feel hollow, add two more words: âHereâs how.âThen go do it.
