February 20, 2026Iran IGNORES Trump's Warning, Jews Targeted, Romans 8
Help Persecuted Christians TODAY: https://csi-usa.org/
Christian Solidarity International
On today's Quick Start podcast:
NEWS: New satellite images raise alarms that Iran may be rebuilding parts of its nuclear program even while engaging in negotiations with the U.S. Meanwhile, a devastating avalanche in California claims eight lives, including six mothers on a backcountry ski trip — marking one of the deadliest slides in state history.

FOCUS: As U.S.-Iran talks continue in Geneva and American military assets move closer to Israel, we hear from CBN’s Chris Mitchell and Joshua Swanson on the ground about rising tensions in the Middle East and how Israelis are responding.

MAIN THING: Growing concern among Jewish residents in New York City after controversial rhetoric and policy positions from newly elected Mayor Zohran Mamdani. Community leaders warn the tone at the top may be contributing to a rise in harassment, vandalism, and unease in America’s largest city.

BIBLE VERSE: Romans 8:18 — “For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory that is to be revealed to us.”

February 19, 2026War With Iran Looms, University Trains to Defend Illegals, Prince Andrew ARRESTED, John 14
Help Persecuted Christians TODAY: https://csi-usa.org/
Christian Solidarity International
On today's Quick Start podcast:
NEWS: Royal scandal rocks the U.K. as Prince Andrew is reportedly arrested following renewed scrutiny tied to the Epstein files. Police confirm a man in his 60s was taken into custody as investigators search properties and widen their probe — sending shockwaves through Buckingham Palace and reigniting global attention on the long-running controversy.

FOCUS STORY: Mixed signals out of Geneva as U.S.-Iran nuclear talks end without a clear breakthrough. Vice President JD Vance calls the discussions “mixed,” while President Trump’s red lines remain firm. Meanwhile, U.S. military assets are shifting into the region. Is this high-stakes diplomacy — or the prelude to something far more dangerous?

MAIN THING: As ICE ramps up enforcement, elite universities are stepping in to defend illegal immigrants in court. Law students are earning course credit to challenge deportations — and millions in taxpayer dollars are funding the effort. Are America’s law schools upholding the rule of law — or actively working against it?

LAST THING: John 14:5–6 — Jesus says, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life.” In a world shaken by scandal and uncertainty, Christ remains the only sure foundation.

February 18, 2026Media Ignore Disturbing Christian Genocide, Teachers Union Makes Shocking Admission, 2 Timothy 3
Help Persecuted Christians TODAY: https://csi-usa.org/
Christian Solidarity International
On today's Quick Start podcast:
NEWS: A massive avalanche buries backcountry skiers in California’s Sierra Nevada, leaving 10 missing as rescuers battle whiteout conditions. Plus, New York City’s socialist promises meet a $5.4 billion deficit — and middle-class taxpayers may foot the bill.

FOCUS STORY: In a stunning move, San Francisco’s teachers union urged parents not to homeschool during a strike — fearing students might thrive without the system. When education becomes leverage, who really holds the power?

MAIN THING: Myanmar’s hidden humanitarian disaster — churches burned, pastors arrested, believers displaced. Dr. Sasa joins us with firsthand accounts of the “systematic” persecution of Christians that much of the world is ignoring — and why action matters now.

LAST THING: 2 Timothy 3:12 — A reminder that those who seek to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will face persecution — but they are not alone.

NEWS: Civil rights activist Rev. Jesse Jackson dies at 84 — plus chaos at a Rhode Island high school hockey game as a gunman opens fire in what police describe as a domestic dispute, leaving multiple victims dead and injured.

FOCUS: LeBron James fields questions about Israel during NBA All-Star Weekend after media attempts to bait him amid controversy sparked by Spike Lee’s protest attire — and a dunk contest winner who publicly praised Jesus.

MAIN THING: A hidden, Chinese-linked biolab discovered in a Las Vegas neighborhood raises alarming national security questions. With over 1,000 suspicious biological samples seized and ties to a previous California case, experts warn this may be part of a broader CCP strategy operating on U.S. soil.

LAST THING: “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come.” — 2 Corinthians 5:17

NEWS: Savannah Guthrie releases a powerful new video pleading for her mother’s safe return as investigators reveal a key DNA clue in the Nancy Guthrie kidnapping case. Plus, Secretary of State Marco Rubio receives a standing ovation in Munich after declaring Christian faith the backbone of Western civilization and warning about the dangers of open borders.

MAIN THING: With chaos swirling — from the Epstein files to bizarre global headlines — Pastor Mike Signorelli joins us to answer a critical question: How can Christians discern truth in a world filled with confusion?

LAST THING: “For God is not a God of confusion but of peace.” — 1 Corinthians 14:33

February 13, 2026Feds Spar With Sheriff as Guthrie Tensions Build, Media Ignoring Attacks on Christians, Matthew 5
Help Persecuted Christians TODAY: https://csi-usa.org/
Christian Solidarity International
On today's Quick Start podcast:
NEWS: A growing dispute between the FBI and the Pima County Sheriff’s Office is raising questions in the Nancy Guthrie investigation. Federal sources claim key DNA evidence was kept from the FBI crime lab in Quantico, while Sheriff Chris Nanos strongly denies blocking access and says investigators agreed to keep all samples together at one lab. Meanwhile, surveillance footage of a masked suspect has been released, more than 13,000 tips have poured in, and the reward has climbed to $100,000 as the urgent search continues.

FOCUS STORY: Does modern archaeology confirm the Bible — or contradict it? For years, some scholars cast doubt on whether King David even existed. But a major discovery in northern Israel reshaped the debate. CBN’s Raj Nair travels to the Holy Land with Israeli tour guide Yoav Rotem to explore how archaeology is challenging skeptics and strengthening confidence in Scripture.

MAIN THING: New images from Nigeria reveal the horrific reality facing Christians targeted in ongoing attacks. Advocates say the violence is systematic and underreported. Alex Barbir of Building Zion, recently back from Nigeria, explains why the persecution crisis is worse than many realize — and why believers there say they feel forgotten by the global community.

LAST THING: Matthew 5:10-12 — “Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness’ sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.”

FOCUS: A major shake-up at President Trump’s Religious Liberty Commission after controversy erupts during a hearing and Carrie Prejean is removed. What sparked the backlash — and what happens next?

MAIN THING: Is President Trump backing off military action against Iran? A new report claims a proposed decapitation strategy didn’t come with guarantees of regime collapse, raising concerns about sleeper cells, Hezbollah networks, and the risk of a much wider war.

LAST THING: “Come, descendants of Jacob, let us walk in the light of the Lord!” — Isaiah 2:5
