• 0:50
  Speaker 1: forty five. Here in the United States, each state represented
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: brought too many to name. Well, let me and keen

• 1:32
  Speaker 1: the Challenges of fave radio program on the same what
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: number thirty three, And the question is how many recorded
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: Christians are there globally and in the United States. Before
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: we get there, let's take a look at as of today,
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: December twenty third, twenty twenty four, what is the recorded go.
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: Global population recorded almost eight billion and two hundred million,
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: and the Christian population is two billion and almost thirty million. Wow.
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: How about just in the United States, current population almost
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: three hundred and forty seven million people million humans, and
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: it's Christian population is two hundred and thirty million Christians,
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: representing seventy one percent of the population. But do the
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: believers act like that? So let's go to the lifespan
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: here in the United States. You don't mind, do you?
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: And while we're doing that, do you mind looking at
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: your own country and yours and yours and yours? Say
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: what yes, yours? But let's look at home. I always
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: like to start at home. The United States life expectancy,
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: it's surprisingly enough on the rise. According to a new
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: study from the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluations, Americans
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: can expect to live eighty point four years in two
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: thousand and fifty. Now, you know, just a few weeks,
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: it's twenty twenty five, up from seventy eight point three
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: years in twenty twenty two. But it's rising even more
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: in other countries. Why is that? I'm just asking a question.
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: I know you're going to do your research and find out.
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: In two thousand and fifty. The United States is projected
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: to rank sixty six. Are lagging. Life expectancy is largely
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: a function of cultural issues. Say what such as drug
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: overdoses and obesity. Okay, so what are the causative factors
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: behind that? You know, individual taking drugs, becoming addicted and
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: leaving earth and obesity? What are the causative factors? And
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: those are social challenges over which health insurance has a
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: little sway. Consider deaths from drug overdifs. According to the CDC.
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: You know centers for Disease Control imprevention. Overdoses and other
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: unintentional injuries are America's third leading cause of death. In
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty two, more than one hundred and seven thousand
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: people in the United States die from drug overdoses. According
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: to the IHME study, drug related mortality sword eight hundred
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: and seventy eight percent between nineteen ninety and twenty twenty one,
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: rising from two point zero deaths per one hundred thousand
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: people to nineteen point five deaths per one hundred thousand people.
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: Mortality from drugs is on track to increase another thirty
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: four percent between twenty twenty two and two thousand and
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: fifty to twenty six point seven deaths per one hundred thousand.
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: Gun violence and car crashes also set us apart from
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: our pure countries. In twenty twenty two, more than forty
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: two thousand people in the United States died due to
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: car crashes and more than forty eight thousand due to firearms.
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: America has the highest car crash death rate of twenty
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: nine high income countries, according to data from twenty nineteen.
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: And you got to remember, when you're speaking of firearms,
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: it takes a human finger to pull the trigger, unless
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: you're talking about a robot. Drug overdoses, the widing obesity epidemic,
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: and other cultural factors have an outsized impact on American life.
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: Expect to see, but they're largely the product of individual choices,
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: not a lack of universal health coverage, says Sally C. Pipes,
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: President CEO and A Thomas W. Smith Fellow in health
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: care policy at the Pacific Research Institute. Did you know
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: that I'm going to go back to the Christians for
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: whatever reason why humans are becoming addicted and all these
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: others that's leading to a short life expectancy. Are you
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: carrying out the great commission of getting the Gospel out
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: like someone did, you and you and you, irrespective where
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: you live at globally, but especially here in the United States,
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: so that when that person faced their mortality, they can
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: make a choice of where they're headed eternally. Did you
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: know that immigration, since we're talking about population, to the
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: United States in twenty twenty four, drove US population growth
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: to its fastest rate in twenty three years, as the
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: nation surpassed three hundred and forty million residents. The United
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: States Census Bureau just said, did you know that the
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: one percent growth rate this year was the highest it
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: events in two thousand and one, and it was a
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: marked contrast to the record low of zero point two
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: percent set in twenty twenty one at the Heider pandemic
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: restrictions on travel to the United States. According to the
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: Annual Population Estimates, immigration this year increased by two point
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: eight million people, partly because of a new method of
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: accounting that has people who were admitted for humanitarian reasons
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: net international migration accounting for eighty four percent of the
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: nations three point three million person increase between twenty twenty
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: three and twenty twenty four. Now, you got to keep
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: in mind now that's not counting the illegal immigration that
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: some believe may be over eleven million in the United States.
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: That's why you using the code word code not cold.
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: Recorded births outnumbered deaths in the United States for almost
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: five hundred and nine thousand correction almost five hundred and
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: nineteen thousand between twenty twenty three and twenty twenty four,
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: which was an improvement over the historic low of one
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: hundred and forty six thousand and twenty twenty one, but
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: still well below the lights of previous decades. The group
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: of people being included in the international migration are those
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: who enter the country through humanitarian parole, which has been
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: granted for seven in decades by Republican and Democratic presidential
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: administrations to people unable to use standard immigration routes because
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: of time pressure or the government's poor relation with the
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: United States. The Migration Policy Institute, a Washington based resource organization,
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: said last week that more than five point eight million
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: people were admitted under various humanitarian policies from twenty twenty
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: one to twenty twenty four. Capturing the number of new
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: immigrants is the most difficult part of the annual US
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: population estimates. Although the newly announced change and methodology is unrelated.
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: The timing comes a month before return to the White
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: House of President elect Donald Trump, who has promised mass
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: deportations of people in the United States illegally illegally. Population
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: Estimates provides the official population counts each year between the
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: once a decade census of the United States, the fifty States, counties,
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: and metro areas. The figures are used for distributing trillions
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: of dollars in federal funding. Now think about that, really,
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: pondered at what was just said. The figures are used
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: for distributing trillions of dollars in federal funding. I don't
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: know about you all. Now I say that respect, but
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: in my community do we even see any of that?
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: Keep it real, you don't much, especially as you enter
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty five. Hope you leave twenty twenty four, real,
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: januine and hope you enter twoentuy twenty five, Lord Willing.
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: The reason why you hear me say that, because your
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: human doctor and whoever your counselors are, and whoever you
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: listen to, can I guarantee you gonna see another second
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: of a day. But I hope you enter twenty twenty
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: five januine and believer, hopefully about getting out the word
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: from the Great Commission. Standpoint irrespectful who you come in
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: contact with and those of you who may not know Him,
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: if you quit deceiving the people. But also as you
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: enter twenty twenty five, tune in the Challenges of Faith
• 12:38

  Speaker 1: to You and iHeartRadio, Amazon Music, Spotify, Apple pot Bean
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: and more say what yep and the closing verses out
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: of Ephesian chef to two verse eight and nine. For
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: by grace you have been saved through faith, and that
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: not of yourself. It is the gift of God, not
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: of works, lest anyone should boast. Think about that if
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: you could save yourself and enter Heaven eternally, not temporarily,
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: if you can do it by whatever means necessary, then
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: you can walk around bragging how you did it. But
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: you can't. It's a gift of God. And we thank
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: Him for allowing his only son to diwn a cross
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: for you and I. And also remember the two thieves
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: that was on the cross and only one accepting him.
