The CBN News Daily Rundown - Audio Podcast

The story of a Lebanese pastor, who listened to the voice of the Holy Spirit and saved many lives on the day of a massive explosion in Beirut, is catching a lot of attention on the CBN News web page. 

"I think what I love about this story and the reason that it is trending so well is that people love knowing that we are not alone and that God is so intimately involved in our lives," CBN's Wendy Griffith said. "And I love that the Holy Spirit loves us enough, that he will alert us to danger and in this case, it saved many lives."

Wendy spoke with Pastor Said Deeb about God's simple instruction that saved nearly 300 people and she's on today's episode.

With the 2020 election looming large, normally raucous and lively conventions will now be conducted in a much different fashion, thanks to COVID-19.

It was a good day for Israel and the United Arab Emirates Thursday. The two countries struck a peace deal that many consider a win-win solution.

CBN Senior International Correspondent George Thomas joins the Rundown to explain.

Can you imagine Saturdays this fall without college football? Well, you might have to depending on who you watch. 

The Big Ten and Pac-12 announced Tuesday the cancellation of all sports competitions through the end of the year because of concerns about playing during the COVID-19 outbreak. 

They are the first of the power five conferences to do so, which means classic matchups like UCLA and USC in the Rose Bowl won't be happening. It's the first time since 1935 that the rivals won't be playing. 

CBN's Sports Director Shawn Brown is on today's Rundown to talk about how all of this is going to shake out.

You might not hear it from media outlets but in Portland, Oregon but more than 270 federal officers have been injured protecting buildings since May and in Seattle, one day of recent rioting led to 59 officers getting wounded by rocks, bottles, and improvised explosives.  

Seattle Police Chief Carmen Best announced she is stepping down from her position. She made her decision public on the same day the city council approved cutting the police department by $4 million and 100 officers.

CBN News contributor Chuck Holton spent several days in Seattle’s CHOP zone and he breaks down the latest events taking place in the city.

Producing a newscast that's broadcast across the nation and around the globe is a team sport for sure and not for the faint of heart.

Correspondents and videographers gather information and video up until the last minute.

There are a slew of technical aspects from graphics, to studio cameras, to the control room that must operate flawlessly.

And a day's work of well-laid plans is routinely upended at the last minute to accommodate breaking news.

Shoshannah Nunez is the producer of CBN's Faith Nation which means she's responsible for the entire show. No pressure!

In this previously recorded episode, Nunez explains how she spends her days, what drives her crazy, and why her job is perfect for adrenaline junkies.

David Brody joins the Rundown to explain that and more.
