I used to scroll news like it was my job. Morning coffee? CNN. Lunch break? Twitter doomscrolling. Before bed? One more headline check. And every single time, I felt my chest tighten, my jaw clench, and my peace evaporate. Maybe you know the feeling. The world hands you twenty crises before breakfast, and by dinner, you're either numb, angry, or convinced everything's falling apart. None of those options honor God: or help you love your neighbor well. That's why I built what

You open your phone. A school shooting. Rising tensions overseas. Economic uncertainty. Climate warnings. Political fights. Within sixty seconds, your chest tightens and your breathing shallows. Sound familiar? You're not imagining it, the news is designed to grab you by the throat. But here's the truth: you were never meant to carry the emotional weight of every tragedy on earth. That's God's job, not yours. So how do we stay informed without getting buried? How do we care

It's been one of those days.

The Midday News Problem Every day at noon, you're halfway through your workday, your phone has buzzed seventeen times, and you've scrolled past enough headlines to make your head spin. Ukraine.

And here's the brutal truth: most of it left you more anxious, more confused, and more divid

Welcome to The McReport's midday break: where we pause, breathe, and check the headlines through a lens that refuses to trade truth for sides or hope for clicks. You've seen the other kind of news. The kind that picks a team before it picks the facts. The kind that hypes every development into a five-alarm fire or buries important stories because they don't fit the narrative. The kind that leaves you feeling anxious, angry, or exhausted. We're doing something different here.

You know the feeling. You pick up your phone to check one headline, and thirty minutes later you're three articles deep into a spiral of anxiety, outrage, or plain exhaustion.

You don't need to choose between being a responsible, aware citizen and protecting your peace. There's a better way, and it's simpler th
