What insights does Scott Carter share about faith and belief?
On Ye Gods with Scott Carter, hear from the faithful.
I told my very Catholic mother that she needs to meet Jesus.

If life's a mystery we investigate, who done it?
I pray that you were God.

Live from NPR News, I'm Giles Snyder. Speaking to the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland Wednesday, President Trump backed off his threats to use military force to seize control of Greenland.
We probably won't get anything unless I decide to use excessive strength and force where we would be, frankly, unstoppable. But I won't do that. OK, now everyone's saying, oh, good. That's probably the biggest statement I made because people thought I would use force. I don't have to use force. I don't want to use force. I won't use force.
Trump says he has agreed with NATO on a future Arctic security deal. And he also backed off on his warning to impose tariffs on multiple European nations. Following Trump's reversal, all three major U.S. stock markets jumped 1.2 percent Wednesday, with the Dow adding 588 points. Tokyo's benchmark Nikkei is up more than 2 percent.
What recent statements did President Trump make at the World Economic Forum?
An appellate court has blocked a ruling in Minnesota that sought to restrict aggressive tactics by federal immigration agents. NPR's Sarah Ventry has more.
Last week, a district court judge barred officers from using tear gas and detaining peaceful protesters. But the latest ruling from the Eighth Circuit now pauses that decision while the Trump administration pursues an appeal. The order was published with no explanation. This comes as immigration agents continue to have an extraordinarily heightened presence in the Twin Cities. DHS says there are more than 2,500 in the area. more than four times the size of the Minneapolis police force. This ruling, lifting restrictions on aggressive tactics, leaves many on edge as large-scale demonstrations are planned in the coming days and National Guard troops are on standby to deploy to the city. Sarah Ventry, NPR News, Minneapolis.
A federal judge has ordered the Justice Department to stop reviewing material seized from the home of a Washington Post reporter, at least for now. NPR's David Fokenflik reports on the Post's demand that the government return all the devices taken by FBI agents earlier this month.
The Washington Post's Hannah Natanson has written she relies heavily on confidential sources, 1,169 last year, in reporting on the Trump administration's purge of the federal workforce. Now, she says she has none. The government is prosecuting a Maryland contractor, alleging he illegally retained national security documents. The Post argues that the government has an almost unlimited window into the newsroom's editorial processes, thanks to its access to the paper's Slack, emails and content management system. Magistrate Judge William B. Porter set a court hearing for February 6th to hear arguments on the post-motion that all the materials be returned. The Justice Department has not yet filed a reply or responded to NPR's request for comment.

A jury in Corpus Christi has found Uvalde school police officer Adrian Gonzalez not guilty on charges of failing to stop the shooting that left 19 children and two teachers dead. Former school district police chief Pete Arredondo is expected to be tried on similar charges later this year. A House committee has advanced resolutions to hold former President Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in contempt of Congress over the Jeffrey Epstein investigation. The House Oversight Committee approved the contempt charges Wednesday, setting up a potential vote in the House.
