Dozens of members of a South Carolina church are finally back in the United States after Operation Epic Fury left them stranded in Israel for nearly a week after their flight was supposed to depart. Forty members of Calvary Chapel Summerville landed in Israel on Feb. 20 for eight days of exploration in the Holy Land.  The group was set to fly home on Feb. 28 and had arrived at the airport three hours before their scheduled departure when the U.S. and Israel launched airstrikes on Iran. The attack prompted the closure of Israel's airspace and the group had to evacuate the airport. "It felt like the weight of the world on my shoulders and I just prayed and prayed and prayed and asked God to give me wisdom," said Vic Carroll, pastor at Calvary Chapel Summerville in South Carolina.

Former NFL quarterback Tim Tebow appeared on Capitol Hill this past week to urge lawmakers on the Senate Judiciary Committee to pass legislation to better combat child exploitation , trafficking, and abuse — describing the effort as a fight "for people who cannot fight for themselves" and in their "darkest hour of need."  Tebow, the founder and chair of his eponymous Tim Tebow Foundation , used the impassioned testimony before the Senate Judiciary Subcommittee to shore up support for the Renewed Hope Act of 2026, or bipartisan legislation that seeks to increase federal resources to fight child exploitation and abuse.  Framing the crisis as a "fight for people who cannot fight for themselves in their darkest hour of need," Tebow said his foundation is working "imperfectly, but in every way that we can" to support the fight against child exploitation, including by providing additional support to law enforcement, and funding long-term restoration ...

Exiled Iranian Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi said Saturday that the Islamic Republic is "crumbling" and that Iranians are ready to reclaim their country one week after U.S. and Israeli military operations rocked the regime. The operations, which began last week, resulted in the death of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and nearly 50 other regime figures, creating what Pahlavi described as a pivotal moment for change. " The situation on the ground is the fact that people obviously were waiting for an opportunity to get back to the streets to take their country back. We see more and more elements of the regime crumbling. A lot of people at home are ready to step in and this is exactly what will be required for a successful and stable transition," he said during a Fox News appearance on "My View" with Lara Trump.
