Good morning, everyone. Today is August 1, 2025, we’re covering 6 praise reports today. We start with: 

1. Heroic Rescue in Russia: A Bystander Pulled a Man From the Tracks just Seconds Before a Train Passed. This was captured on video and is available on the link in the show notes
2. An unconditional ceasefire between Cambodia and Thailand is holding strong, offering hope after tension over a disputed border. The agreement marks a turning point toward peace and stability in the region.
3. A Tiny Mexico City Taco Stand Earns the much-coveted Michelin Star With Just Four Items on the Menu
4. Two new medical studies are offering alternatives to a previously controversial heart transplant technique—methods that promise to save lives while honoring ethical boundaries. These strategies may lead to safer and more widely accepted transplants in the future.
5. World’s Largest Imaging Study Could Revolutionize Disease Diagnosis. After over a decade of research, scientists have released the most comprehensive full-body imaging database ever created—offering new tools to better understand, prevent, and diagnose disease. This biomedical breakthrough could lead to earlier detection and healthier lives for millions.

Let’s give God some thanks today!

Thank you for listening to News on Knees, a community prayer podcast by Story King Media. 

If you want to join the movement, I’m calling all believers, anyone who wants to pray for the world, their country, their region, a specific societal issue. Using something as simple as the voice memo app on your phone, record a 1–2 minute prayer and email it to: 

[e-mail], 

that’s…

[e-mail]

Simply write the word ‘PRAYER’ in the subject line of the email. 

NOTE - Two Rules for Submitted Prayers:

1. Please Keep Obvious Political Bias Out
2. No Personal Requests. Prayers should be about societal issues that are either global, country, state, or region-specific.

And if this show blesses you, if you believe in the work we’re doing, would you consider supporting News on Knees on Patreon? Just a few dollars a month will keep it going and growing, so we can continue flooding the world with prayer instead of panic.

All instructions, links, and news sources will be in the show notes.

I leave you with:

Philippians 4:6-7 

“Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.

And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.”

Until next time…
