6 Things Christians Get Wrong about Tithing

It’s been 18 years since we tragically lost Steve Irwin, the beloved Australian wildlife conservationist. After all this time, his family continues to honor his legacy, as well as the work he was oh-so passionate about. His wife, Terri Irwin, has never been one to shy away from talking about him. In fact, the entire family is happy to find ways to incorporate him into their lives, and the lives of fans, in new ways. This is a topic Terri touched on during a recent interview. It took place on a podcast called Wiggle Talk and is led by Simon and Lachy, members of The Wiggles, a popular kids musical group. This podcast, however, is for the parents of their group. While chatting with Terri, the topic of grief came up. This offered her the chance to explain that, despite how popular it is to say that “time heals all wounds,” she doesn’t agree. Hear why she feels that way in the video below. @thewiggles On this week’s episode of the Wiggle Talk podcast, Simon and Lachy are joined by very special guest Terri Irwin, for a discussion about grief, love, and what happens when your family dynamic suddenly changes. What happens when your family dynamic changes suddenly, and how do you help your kids navigate when someone isn’t around anymore, whether it’s through divorce, death or they’ve moved on from your life? Terri Irwin is someone who has been through this situation. The matriarch of the Irwin family, a world-renowned conservationist, owner of Australia Zoo and a mum, who had to help her two kids, @Bindi Irwin and @Robert Irwin through an unimaginable loss, while also grieving herself. So how do you get through that? And what advice does she have for people finding themselves in a similar situation? Terri is a remarkable woman and shares her wisdom with us in this episode.

Instead, it’s something that shapes you with time. And, eventually, she says that it becomes “a companion rather than an all-consuming feeling.” The reason why is because there is some grief “you never really get over” — and that’s okay. Losing someone, whether through death, divorce, or some other way, is never easy. These types of losses can shape us in permanent ways, no matter how much time passes. But Terri notes that what does change, however, is the way you find joy in life, too. This message has brought comfort to so many who relate.

The grief doesn’t shrink, we simply grow around it,” one person shares in the comment section of the video, with another adding, “My grandma was a widow for 55 years, and she never stopped missing grandpa, but she lived a whole life after he was gone, and it was a good life.” “One day you will talk about them and instead of crying at the loss you will smile because you are grateful for the memories you have together to reflect on and share,” a third person writes. “Hold on, you will be okay.” You can find the source of this story’s featured image here!

Kamala Harris consented to a puffball panel discussion with the National Association of Black Journalists on September 17, and it was announced that PolitiFact would engage in live “fact checking.” Their Twitter feed then displayed 14 checks on Kamala’s answers. The first one was labeled “False,” and all of the rest of them were “True,” “Accurate,” or basically okey-dokey. On September 11, PolitiFact hit a new milestone in leftist aggression. Donald Trump was thumped with a “Pants on Fire” tag for the 200th time with “they’re eating the pets” in Springfield, Ohio. He’s been tagged with flaming pants 12 times since June 1. Kamala Harris, by contrast, has zero. She was first elected statewide in California in 2010. Your two candidates this year, not exactly “neck and neck” at 200 to nothing. Now compare this to national politicians since PolitiFact came on the scene in 2007. Joe Biden has seven “Pants On Fire” ratings, and only one as president. Barack Obama has nine, Hillary Clinton has nine, Bill Clinton has three, and Bernie Sanders has a perfect zero like Kamala. Even Republicans don’t have anything like Trump’s 200. George W. Bush has zero, John McCain had eight, Ted Cruz has 11, Newt Gingrich has 12, and surprisingly, Mitt Romney has 19 – and 18 of those came in 2011 and 2012, when he challenged Obama for the White House. Their weirdest Romney “Pants on Fire” came when he said "We're only inches away from no longer being a free economy." You can argue we didn’t have a free market back under Obama in 2012. Bryan White at PolitiFactBias.com says this harsh flaming rating “counts as substantially if not wholly subjective.” That’s not to say that some lies aren’t whoppers. It’s when they emotionally hate something that’s not as bad as they claim it is. In April, White singled out a “Pants on Fire” for Trump claiming he “did much better” in the Wisconsin election in 2020 than 2016, and “after the wrongdoing was found, people said, ‘Well, he actually did win.’” The second half is false: he narrowly lost Wisconsin. But the first half is mathematically true: Trump’s vote count in 2020 was 1,610,184 in Wisconsin, and it was 1,405,284 votes in the state in 2016. So he had more votes. He “did better.” Except that he won the state in 2016, and lost it in 2020. This sounds like a “Half True,” not a “Pants On Fire.” On September 4, Trump was rated as “Pants on Fire” for calling Kamala Harris a “communist.”  It’s like CNN host Kasie Hunt noting during the Democrat convention, “she doesn’t identify as a communist.” Now flip that to the other party. Many Democrats and leftists have called Trump a “fascist.” Search PolitiFact for a harsh rating on that, and you won’t find it. What you will find is a “Half True” rating on former Secretary of State Madeline Albright comparing Trump’s “drain the swamp” rhetoric to fascist Benito Mussolini. When President Biden compared Republicans to Jim Crow segregationists over their voting-integrity legislation, PolitiFact argued the subject was too complicated for a rating. They claimed: “Some historians say Biden’s rhetorical point was justified as a way of highlighting the dangers of backsliding from hard-won voting rights.” These dramatic double standards on “facts” underlines why so many voters don’t trust “fact checkers.” Trump has 1,051 fact checks, and 805 of them are “Mostly False” or worse – 76.6 percent wrong. Bernie Sanders has 176 fact checks, and 44 were on the false side – 25 percent. Bernie can call Trump a “fascist” and he’s all good. 

One of my favorite RPGs in recent years, Final Fantasy 16 is now on PC. The story of Clive, Jill, Cid, and the best boy Torgal is one I won’t soon forget. If you don’t own a PS5 or have been waiting for the port I wholeheartedly recommend diving in on Steam or Epic. That said, the PC port is missing a few features a release of this scale should come with on day one. FF16 isn’t unplayable, mind you, but not having these features is a major bummer. Luckily for us, then, there’s already a new Final Fantasy 16 mod that adds them in, and it’s an obligatory download.

What the Pet Shop Boys’ Secret Service song means now.

By refusing to acknowledge Israel’s legitimate security concerns, Egypt is undermining its own interests.

We cannot afford to let regulatory overreach stand in the way.
