About this episode
How do you stay informed without letting the headlines run your life?
Reports of grounded flights had me at EPCOT wondering whether I should head home. That moment turned into a bigger conversation about trust, fear-driven news, and the constant pressure to click on the next alarming story.
In this episode of The Jeff Adams Show, I share my frustration with media scare tactics, why doom-and-gloom messaging wears me out, and how my relationship with God helps me stay grounded. I don't have every answer, but I do know this: I'm not letting fear stop me from living my life.
Stay aware. Take a breath. Pray about it. And make room to enjoy your life.

You're listening to The Jeff Adams Show. It's creative comedy for ordinary people doing extraordinary things. Well, it was a very interesting day yesterday. Thousands of flights all across the United States canceled for four hours. Air traffic chaos. You know, and it was quite scary. And where I'm going with that is like, you know, Jeff, what are you talking about? I haven't really seen or heard anything like this since like 9-11. And of course, of all the stuff that's going on in Iran right now, the chaos there, they were threatening to do stuff here in the United States, clear threats. But, you know, basically Homeland Security mulling He attended a press conference for Homeland Security, and he said there was basically zero evidence of a cyber attack of any kind, which caused a communication radar. But seriously, folks, when are we going to stop drinking the Kool-Aid? This is one of the main reasons why I gave up on news media and the government, because I just don't think the government is completely truthful. to us and what's going on around us. You get reports. I mean, you're talking about every airport across the United States was grounded. And I was thinking, you know, I went to Epcot Center last night. And when I read this, I was at Epcot Center. I was like, man, should I go home? You know, what's going on? I mean, because when you shut down all airlines in There's obviously a threat. There's something going on. And now they're just saying. Oh it wasn't a cyber. It wasn't a cyber attack. Then what was it? What caused you to shut down every. Airport in the United States. That's what I want to know. Interesting times we're living in. I just don't know what to think. About it. I mean. The only thing I can really think about is we're getting close. And you're saying, Jeff, getting close to what? We're getting close to the end. The end of what? The end of the world? No. New beginnings of the new world. A new world order. Things are coming crashing down. You know, in the book of Revelation, there's going to be a time where everybody just turns on Israel. And this Iran conflict, it's just out of hand. It's crazy. Everybody's at high levels of tension. And we're just living in some interesting times. But the thing that holds me together through all this is The peace that passes all understanding. And that's having a relationship with God. Knowing who you are in Christ. That's the most important thing. Because we can get caught up in these stories. We can get frustrated with the news. But I'm going to tell you, you've got to be alert. You've got to know what's going around. Don't live in fear. Don't sit there and watch the TV for hours. Find out what you need to find out and then pray about it. Because when I was at Epcot, I was like, man, should I go home? And I just said, you know what? I'm not going to live in fear. I'm not going to let fear and propaganda stop me from living my life. You know, I'm just so sick of these fear tactics. You look at YouTube, you look at all these conservative news outlets and the liberal news outlets. It's all fear. Clickbait. Go on YouTube. Search in news things. It's always something going on, a high alert. Even in the spiritual church culture, someone has a prophetic message that's doom and gloom. I'm tired of those messages because eventually, most of these people are crying wolf. And they just use these scare tactics to get you to watch and listen to what they're saying. And I think that's just disgusting. It's disgusting. I hate all of it. One of the main reasons why I just don't trust the news media at all. All these people that you say, oh, we're a voice you can trust. My nutsack. Excuse the language there, but it's the truth. my nutsack. I don't trust anything and what anybody's saying anymore when it comes to what's happening in the world. It's like we get told something and then my mind goes, is that really happening? Did that really happen? And it's sad, but people go, well, back in the day, but maybe back in the day we didn't, maybe there wasn't a whole lot of truth back in the day. Maybe we thought it was truth. what was being told to us. I just really don't know anymore. I really don't. People are like, what do you think? What do you know? And I go, I have no idea. As I'm 54 years old, I have no idea. All I know is everything that I once knew, it's not truth. It's not real. This whole system's not real. Crazy things happen. I don't know. I mean, I'm not going to carry on about this, about the government and how untruthful they are to the American people. Any event, you guys have a great weekend. Rest easy and enjoy yourselves. And we'll talk soon.
