Summary
American swimmer Anita Alvarez was competing in the World Aquatic Championships in Budapest, Hungary, when she suddenly lost consciousness and sank to the bottom of the pool. Andrea Fuentes, Alvarez’s coach, immediately dove into the water and pulled Alvarez to the surface. In The Daily Article for June 24, 2022, Dr. Jim Denison considers this and two other newsworthy stories, discusses how to live a life God can bless, shows why God seeks his own glory, and why Christians must hand over all—and not just some—of themselves to God.

| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the Daily Article Podcast for Friday, June 24, 22, written by Dr. Jim Denison |
| 0:09.1 | and narrated by Chris Elkins of the Denison Forum. Three stories in today's news are related in a very encouraging way. |
| 0:17.2 | First, American swimmer Anita Alvarez was competing in the World Aquatic Championships in |
| 0:23.2 | Budapest Hungary when she suddenly lost consciousness and sank to the bottom of the pool. Andrea Fuentes, |
| 0:29.4 | Alvarez's coach, immediately dove into the water and pulled Alvarez to the surface. The swimmer was |
| 0:35.5 | then taken off on a stretcher for medical treatment. Fwentis |
| 0:38.7 | issued a statement later saying, Anita is okay. The doctors checked all vitals and everything is normal. |
| 0:45.9 | Thanks to her coach, she's okay. Second, John Clements was attending a baseball game with his family |

| 1:30.3 | Third, it was four years ago yesterday when a soccer team exploring a cave in Thailand became trapped by rising floodwaters. Their |
| 1:36.0 | plight became a global story. An international group of cave diving experts eventually rescued all the |
| 1:42.7 | boys and their coach. However, a volunteer diver and former |
| 1:47.2 | Thai Navy seal, Saman Kunun, died when he ran out of oxygen underwater while attempting to |
| 1:54.1 | deliver oxygen tanks to the boys. In each case, those in distress were rescued by people who would say rescuing people as part of their calling. |
| 2:03.8 | This week, we've been exploring my assertion that it's always too soon to give up on God. |
