Today on Doubletake: the first episode in a three-part series: The kidnapping of Kayla Mueller.In August of 2013 Carl and Marsha Mueller received a 10-second video in their email. It was of their daughter Kayla, who had disappeared 24 days earlier in Syria. She was thin and dressed in Islamic garb. “I need your help,” she said. “I’ve been here too long, and I’ve been sick.”The Islamic terror group ISIS had grabbed her, beginning an ordeal for the Muellers that, in a way, still isn’t over.So today we have a story about courage, and fear, and faith despite hopeless circumstances. It’s also about finding yourself in a position where you’re forced to negotiate. For the highest stakes imaginable: the life of your daughter. With terrorists. With your own government. With yourself. And, ultimately, with God.Support WORLD News Group at wng.org/donateAdditional support comes from The Voice of the Martyrs, serving persecuted Christians for almost sixty years.

Everybody knows you’re not supposed to bargain with God. It’s just a bad idea. God doesn’t answer prayers that begin, “Dear God, if you just give me this one thing I’ll do this other thing.

When Gerald Groff took his job at the Post Office in 2012, taking Sundays off wasn’t an issue. USPS didn’t deliver on Sundays.

Hearing that his father was dead was very nearly the last straw for Radha Manickam. In two years he’d lost almost his entire family under the brutal regime of Cambodia’s Khmer Rouge. It seemed that God had abandoned him, and one night while lying on an anthill in the middle of a rice paddy, he decided to end it all. But then hope arrived–in a most unlikely place, and a most unexpected way.This series is based on my recent interviews with Radha, along with my 2016 book about his experiences.

After the communist Khmer Rouge took over Cambodia on April 17, 1975, they herded everybody out of the cities and into socialist “cooperatives.” Radha Manickam and family were sent to the country’s northwest, where they and 1.8 million others were dumped out of trains and told to start building villages.It was Year Zero, supposedly the start of the agrarian utopia promised by their Marxist masters.Instead, Radha watched the Khmer Rouge turn Cambodia into the realm of the dead.This series tells a hard and brutal story, but it’s also a story of hope and, ultimately, redemption. It’s based on my recent interviews with Radha, along with my 2016 book about his experiences.

The communist Khmer Rouge marched into Phnom Penh, the capital of Cambodia, on April 17, 1975. Radha Manickam, a new Christian, watched them arrive from the balcony of his parents’ apartment. It was Radha’s first exposure to the Khmer Rouge. The leader of the Khmer Rouge was Pol Pot, led the most violent and brutal government in modern history. In its doomed attempt to create an agrarian utopia, between 1975 and 1979 Pol Pot’s regime murdered over 1.7 million people. Many were beaten to death or executed. Others starved to death or died of fatigue or some wretched disease. Mao and Stalin’s Communist regimes killed far more people. But no other government has destroyed nearly a quarter of its own citizens.Today Pol Pot is largely forgotten. But he and the Khmer Rouge are well worth remembering. Because the ideas that formed the Khmer Rouge are still with us today. Also worth remembering are the stories of those who survived. People like Radha Manickam. We’ll be telling his story over the next three episodes. It is in many ways a brutal story. One of loss and grief and terror. But it’s also a story of hope and grace. And ultimately, redemption.This series is based on my recent interviews with Radha, along with my 2016 book about his experiences.

Michael and Millie Shipe grew up in the era of “purity culture.” It was a big thing for about 20 years starting in the 1990s, and it focused on saving sex for marriage. There were conferences and purity rings and slogans, like “True Love Waits.”But a lot of people say they’ve been deeply damaged by their experience in purity culture. There’s a growing genre of books by the “survivors” of purity culture. These are often bitter tales written by ex-evangelicals who use the term “deconstruction” to describe leaving orthodox Christianity.Today on Doubletake, the rise and fall of purity culture, through the eyes of a couple who lived through some of its best features–and some of its worst. And, just a note: this episode involves relationships and sexuality. It’s not for kids.Music/audio from:CNNSouth Park/Comedy Central“Kiss the Girl” by Samuel E.

WORLD Radio’s Jenny Rough was worried. Last year, her memory seemed to be slipping, and few things scared her more than descending into dementia as she got older. She also came across some recent research that tied dementia and Alzheimer's disease to a person’s ability to navigate–and Jenny has always had a little trouble with maps. Worst of all, her own mother had passed away from Parkinson’s disease a few years before.So, naturally, Jenny went for a good long hike … and got lost.On this episode of Doubletake we’re going to navigate—metaphorically and literally.

In 1968 Mallory Millett arrived in New York just in time to watch her sister Kate Millett turn into an icon of the radical Second Wave feminist movement. At first, Mallory thought of herself as a feminist. But soon Mallory began to realize that feminism wasn’t quite what she thought: “I’d been brought into something very, very weird.”And the weirdness is still around. In fact, Mallory says that Kate’s radical ideas have shaped a new narrative about what it means to be a woman. In fact, says Mallory, these ideas have “taken over the world. Kate has taken over the world.”So today, a story about a woman who took a journey with her sister, only to realize that she’d been led into some very dark places.Support WORLD at wng.org/donate.
