#ourCOG Daily Brief [November 10, 2025]

Good evening, and welcome to #ourCOG Daily Brief for November 10, 2025.

Our top stories today begin in the U.S., where the conservative movement is grappling with an uproar over antisemitism, fueled by new information channels, while the legality of the Trump administration’s strikes on suspected drug boats, which have killed dozens, remains under expert scrutiny. A government shutdown is causing significant flight delays and cancellations across the nation’s busiest airports due to FAA service reductions, and President Trump is also exploring the rarely used Insurrection Act as a potential tool to deploy troops in U.S. cities. Looking ahead to Tuesday’s elections, the outcomes could significantly reshape both parties’ redistricting strategies. Internationally, the complexities of Nigeria’s situation are highlighted, with President Trump’s characterization of persecuted Christians differing from the nuanced reality of militant insurgencies. A complex dilemma surrounds the deportation of convicted non-citizen veterans after they serve their sentences, and in the Middle East, Hamas is reportedly seeking common ground with former rivals as it navigates the post-war governance arrangements in Gaza.

Moving on, our latest video content encourages us to “Don’t Give Up, BE INTENTIONAL: Do this DAILY!” with #shorts focused on #christianshorts and #jesus, alongside “Blessed to Bless • Part 1 | Living from God’s Overflow to Serve Others.”

In FaithNews, we see “Robeck to Present Azusa Lecture on Evangelism at Azusa Street Mission,” “Decision Point Confronts America’s Cultural Lies,” details on “Our Faith, Our Family, Our Freedom Conference in Atlanta Nov. 6-8, 2025,” and news that the “Ministry to Israel ‘Lone Soldier Program’ Looks to Welcome One of the Hostages.”

Turning to prophecy news, the 87th anniversary of Kristallnacht serves as a somber reminder, with Holocaust survivors warning that current antisemitism is tragically comparable to the levels seen in 1938. Disturbingly, reports also highlight legalized abduction, with state laws allowing minors to be removed from their parents without consent, putting children across America at risk. Internationally, Turkey has issued an arrest warrant for Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu and 36 others, accusing them of genocide, while the U.S. is slated to begin UN negotiations this Thursday on the mandate for an international Gaza force.

Finally, in Jewish history, on this day, November 10th, back in 1217, during the Fifth Crusade, King Andrew II of Hungary achieved a pyrrhic victory over Sultan Al-Adi on the Jordan River. In 1290, the community of Huesca, Spain, enforced a ban prohibiting Christians from purchasing meat or poultry from Jews. And in 1444, the Battle of Varna marked a significant moment as the Ottoman Sultan Murad II decisively defeated a Christian Crusading Army, paving the way for the Ottoman conquest of parts of Eastern Europe.
