(Worthy Insights) – In the remote corners of Kazakhstan, a spiritual revolution is quietly unfolding. Surrounded by ancient traditions and deep-rooted Islamic faith, a small but growing group of Uyghurs are discovering a new spiritual path, one that is changing their world forever.

The Kazakhstan landscape stretches wide and wild, from sweeping grasslands to alpine valleys and towering snow-capped mountain ranges. Sitting in the heart of Central Asia, it’s the world’s largest landlocked country.

Recently, CBN News took a four-hour drive east from Almaty to the southeastern corner of the country, just a stone’s throw from China, where generations of Uyghurs have lived. Some here still practice ancient traditions like herding horses and sheep across the wide Kazakh steppe grassland. [ Source (Read More…) ]

(Worthy Insights) – The news that eight babies with the DNA of three people have been born in the U.K. has been greeted by some as a great step in the fight against genetic diseases, but others are concerned about the ethical implications, which involve the destruction of two living embryos to create a third.

The eight babies were born in the last five years and were created as part of an attempt to spare them from mitochondrial disease. The disease affects around 1 in 5,000 babies in Britain and can cause developmental, metabolic and neurological disorders.

Only women with a high risk of passing on the disease to their children were eligible to undergo the process of creating a triple DNA baby. In all, 22 women underwent the procedure, but only seven became pregnant, with one having twins, representing a success rate of 36%. [ Source (Read More…) ]

(Worthy Insights) – Republican controlled states agreed to advance a law compelling the use of the term “Judea and Samaria” to replace the “West Bank” in official documents after Arkansas legislated such a bill last month.

The initiative was advanced by a West Bank settlement regional council leader Yossi Dagan as part of a move to convince U.S. President Donald Trump to support Israeli annexation of the area.

Utah, Tennessee, Alabama, Louisiana, Idaho, Iowa and Oklahoma were considering the bill that would include declaring the West Bank as the biblical cradle of the Jewish people and the therefore it could not be considered occupied territory. [ Source (Read More…) ]

(Worthy Insights) – Just two years ago, Iran’s current Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, said this:

“The situation between America and Iran is this: When you chant, “Death to America!” It is not just a slogan, it is policy,” Khamenei said.

Iran’s leaders still call the U.S. the “Great Satan,” and Israel, “Little Satan.”

But lately, on Iran’s street’s the people are chanting something very different.

“Death to the Dictator. Death to the Dictator.” [ Source (Read More…) ]

(Worthy Insights) – Hundreds of millions in federal taxpayer dollars have been given to organizations around the world that likely facilitate prostitution and the sex industry, a watchdog group has found.

Through the President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) program, the U.S. government has doled out roughly $385 million to foreign organizations suspected of violating U.S. policy on sex work and prostitution advocacy, according to a complaint filed by the Center to Advance Security in America (CASA) and obtained by the Daily Caller News Foundation. In addition to the grants that have already been spent, CASA uncovered another $480 million in obligated funds to the same groups.

CASA is calling on the State Department’s Office of Inspector General to conduct a comprehensive audit of the PEPFAR program. [ Source (Read More…) ]

(Worthy Insights) – Jeffrey Epstein’s former lawyer has claimed the convicted sex offender never created a “client list,” and said there was no suggestion that President Trump had done “anything improper or even questionable.”

In an opinion piece written for the Wall Street Journal, famed attorney Alan Dershowitz said he knows “the facts” and wanted to make “several important things clear” amid a political firestorm over FBI files related to the late, disgraced financier.

“Epstein never created a ‘client list.’ The FBI interviewed alleged victims who named several ‘clients.’ These names have been redacted,” Dershowitz wrote. [ Source (Read More…) ]

(Worthy Insights) – A team of archaeologists have unearthed what is believed to be the long-forgotten Byzantine settlement of Tharais, offering significant new insights into the history of Christianity in the Middle East.

The findings, led by Musallam R. Al-Rawahneh, an associate professor of archaeology at Mutah University in Jordan, were published in Gephyra, a journal dedicated to the ancient history and cultures of the Eastern Mediterranean, in May.

Rawahneh’s discovery was guided by the Madaba Map, an ancient mosaic that has long intrigued historians. He pinpointed the site near the Jordanian village of El-Irāq, in an area known as Ain Al-Qala’a. Although the settlement had been lost to obscurity for centuries, the archaeologist noted its strategic location along ancient trade routes leading to the southeastern Dead Sea region.

(Worthy Insights) – The 2025 field report released by the Associates for Biblical Research (ABR) on June 2 describes how the dig has shifted its focus to a breached gateway along Tel Shiloh’s city wall. Project director Scott Stripling and ABR president Scott Lanser write that the structure is “the continuing excavation work at the Shiloh Gate Complex, where the priest and judge Eli died,” explicitly linking the stones to the biblical passage in which a messenger announces that the Philistines have captured the Ark and Eli falls dead at the news.

According to the same update, the team is removing collapsed mud-brick debris to expose what they believe was a multi-chambered gate controlling entry to Shiloh’s cultic centre. If the hypothesis holds, the gateway would mirror gate plans previously uncovered at Megiddo and Hazor and offer a physical setting for the Ark narrative. Photogrammetric models and soil micromorphology samples collected this season will undergo laboratory analysis before the results are submitted for peer-review, the researchers add.

Shiloh served as Israel’s religious hub for about three centuries, making any gate from that horizon a critical waypoint for visitors bringing sacrifices to the tabernacle. Earlier ABR seasons identified dense animal-bone deposits and cultic vessels nearby, but the 2025 campaign marks the first time the gate itself has been the prime target. While the researchers stress that definitive proof is still pending, they argue that the gate’s location and construction date strengthen the case that it is “the very place” where the Ark episode unfolded.

(Worthy Insights) – President Donald Trump is reflecting on the one-year anniversary of the day a failed assassin attempted to end his life at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, saying he is confident it was God who saved him for a “righteous purpose.”

“It remains my firm conviction that God alone saved me that day for a righteous purpose: to restore our beloved Republic to greatness and to rescue our Nation from those who seek its ruin,” the president wrote in a lengthy statement posted to the White House website.

Trump, 79, said the shooter, 20-year-old Thomas Crooks, “came within a quarter inch of ending my life and silencing our movement to restore American greatness” but credited “the hand of providence and the grace of Almighty God” for his life being spared. [ Source (Read More…) ]

(Worthy Insights) – A preacher who led a small Hispanic church in Florida has been deported to Guatemala after two decades on American soil. The 42-year-old immigrant is married with five children.

Maurilio Ambrocio pastored the 50 members of Iglesia de Santidad Vida Nueva in Wimauma.

Ambrocio, who entered the U.S. illegally after fleeing his home in Guatemala when he was just 15 years old, lived in Florida for more than 20 years. [ Source (Read More…) ]
