Good morning. I'm Nick Eicher.

And I'm Lindsay Mast. Before we begin today, a reminder that we're in the middle of our springtime new donor drive.

That's going on today and the rest of this week.

That's right. And this week, if you have never given to World before, it's such a great time to do it because all new gifts qualify for a dollar-for-dollar match,

and that will make your first-time gift go twice as far.

We've got generous longtime donors who want to demonstrate

that when you give to world, you're part of a team.

We're all in this together,

and that's why they are matching each new gift that comes in this week.

It's a great way to invest in sound journalism grounded in facts and biblical truth and help us keep

telling the kinds of stories that matter. We would love to welcome you as a new donor, so please

Good morning. President Trump's big, beautiful budget bill is now in the hands of the Senate,

but debate over spending cuts could derail the whole thing.

The president called for waste, for abuse, to be eliminated. I don't think that's where the bill says.

That's ahead today on Washington Wednesday.

Also today, World Tour and later mentors who changed a young man's life for the better.

We talk about brothers and sisters in the church a lot.

We forget it's mothers and fathers, too. And sometimes the most important thing to say is actually the easiest thing to say,

commentary from world's Janie B. Cheney.

It's Wednesday, May 28th.

This is The World and Everything in it from listener-supported World Radio.
