Join Bill Bunkley on this beautiful Friday the 13th briefing from Tampa on letstalkfaith.com, where he kicks off with a gorgeous Chamber of Commerce day in Central Florida—perfect beach weather just before Valentine's Day floods stores with flowers from South America and Hallmark profits soar. Bill highlights the big weekend lineup: Valentine's tomorrow, the O'Reilly-sponsored Daytona 500 Sunday, and banks/post offices closed Monday for Presidents' Day. The big news: Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd and AG James Uthmeier announce a sweeping multi-agency takedown of two military-style drug syndicates trafficking fentanyl and meth—51 arrests, massive seizures of lethal fentanyl (enough for millions of doses), meth, guns, and cash. Bill praises law enforcement's noble, dangerous work protecting communities from cartels and dealers who "sell death," with potential murder charges if victims don't survive. He also updates the Nancy Guthrie kidnapping case (Savannah Guthrie's mom), weighing in on possible FBI-sheriff tensions over evidence like gloves/DNA, while a caller shares optimism about digital surveillance, AI, and privacy concerns in an increasingly tracked world. Bill voices frustration over expanding gambling (sports betting, casinos creeping in via decoupling bills), its toll on youth and manhood, and cultural self-destruction amid blessings. In the second hour, Gary Schneeberger from Focus on the Family urges ditching one-day Valentine's hype for year-round intentional love—try the simple mason jar tradition: daily notes of appreciation, forgiveness, and kindness to unveil on next Valentine's for deeper connection. Dr. Ted Baer from Movie Guide spotlights faith-friendly films like I Can Only Imagine 2 (powerful on humility, healing, and father-son reconciliation) and family animation Goat: Never Too Small to Dream Big. Bill wraps with excitement for Night to Shine at his church—red carpet, crowns, and buddies for 170+ special needs guests via Tim Tebow Foundation. Call in at 877-943-9673 with thoughts on drugs, privacy, love, or movies. Listen live or podcast at letstalkfaith.com—faith at the intersection of life!
