Podcasts about Ammerman

In episode #296, we welcome Head Coach of the Minnesota High School State Champion Moorhead Spuds, Jon Ammerman. Our team at The Coaches Site had the chance to take in the State Championships in person and boy, did it ever live up to the hype. The Spuds defeated the Stillwater Ponies 7-6 in the culmination of an incredible run by Moorhead. As a born and bred Moorhead-native, Ammerman has witnessed the magic of the State Championship as a fan, player and coach. In addition to his role as Head Coach, he is also a teacher at Moorhead High School. As a result of this year's success, he was named Minnesota State Class AA Coach of the Year. Listen as he shares the roller coaster journey that led to the championship, how Moorhead and Minnesota have built success through community-based hockey, and why coaching isn't about the destination but the journey.

Another remarkable Minnesota Boy's Hockey Tournament in the books and the Moorhead Spuds are on top of the AA world! We chatted with Jon Ammerman who led the way coaching this group of kids to the championship win over Stillwater on Saturday night! He discussed the journey, the big moments of this week's tournament and the sell out crowd last night - even outdoing some NHL arenas!

In 2013, the 5th edition of the Diagnostic & Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5) was released, and for the first time it included Nonsuicidal Self-Injury Disorder as a Condition for Further Study. It is not an actual diagnosis at this time, but there are  currently six criteria listed (see below, bottom of page). In this episode, Dr. Greg Lengel from Drake University in Iowa walks us through what research says about each of the six criteria, and he discusses the pros and cons of formalizing NSSI Disorder as a diagnosis.Listen to his interview with Dr. Brooke Ammerman from Season 3 ("How Should Self-Harm Be Defined?") here.

In the last year, the individual has, on 5 or more days, engaged in intentional self-inflicted damage to the surface of his or her body of a sort likely to induce bleeding, bruising, or pain (e.g., cutting, burning, stabbing, hitting, excessive rubbing), with the expectation that the injury will lead to only minor or moderate physical harm (i.e., there is no suicidal intent). Note: The absence of suicidal intent has either been stated by the individual or can be inferred by the individual's repeated engagement in a behavior that the individual knows, or has learned, is not likely to result in death.B. The individual engages in the self-injurious behavior with one or more of the following expectations: To obtain relief from a negative feeling or cognitive state.To resolve an interpersonal difficulty.To induce a positive feeling state.Note: The desired relief or response is experienced during or shortly after the self-injury, and the individual may display patterns of behavior suggesting a dependence on repeatedly engaging in it.C. The intentional self-injury is associated with at least one of the following: Interpersonal difficulties or negative feelings or thoughts, such as depression, anxiety, tension, anger, generalized distress, or self-criticism, occurring in the period immediately prior to the self-injurious act.Prior to engaging in the act, a period of preoccupation with the intended behavior that is difficult to control.Thinking about self-injury that occurs frequently, even when it is not acted upon.D. The behavior is not socially sanctioned (e.g., body piercing, tattooing, part of a religious or cultural ritual) and is not restricted to picking a scab or nail biting. E. The behavior or its consequences cause clinically significant distress or interference in interpersonal, academic, or other important areas of functioning. F. The behavior does not occur exclusively during psychotic episodes, delirium, substance intoxication, or substance withdrawal. In individuals with a neurodevelopmental disorder, the behavior is not part of a pattern of repetitive stereotypies. The behavior is not better explained by another mental disorder or medical condition (e.g., psychotic disorder, autism spectrum disorder, intellectual disability, Lesch-Nyhan syndrome, stereotypic movement disorder with self-injury, trichotillomania [hair-pulling disorder], excoriation [skin-picking] disorder).

Episode 237 – A Miraculous Christ 5 with Jay Ammerman Welcome to Anchored by Truth brought to you by Crystal Sea Books. In John 14:6, Jesus said, “I am the way, the truth, and the life.” The goal of Anchored by Truth is to encourage everyone to grow in the Christian faith by anchoring themselves to the secure truth found in the inspired, inerrant, and infallible word of God. Script Notes: When evening came, his disciples went down to the lake, where they got into a boat and set off across the lake for Capernaum. … A strong wind was blowing and the waters grew rough. When they had rowed about three or four miles, they saw Jesus approaching the boat, walking on the water; and they were frightened. The Gospel of John, chapter 6, verses 16 through 19. New International Version ******** VK: Hi! Welcome to Anchored by Truth brought to you by Crystal Sea Books. I’m Victoria K and today we are continuing a series we call “A Miraculous Christ.” This is a special series for us because we are featuring Jay Ammerman. Jay has an amazing and inspirational story that everyone should hear. Jay was an Army combat medic and endured three deployments with front line infantry in Iraq. After his last deployment Jay came home but unfortunately he also returned from combat with an addiction to opiate pain killers. But our God is a God of healing and deliverance and God completely delivered Jay from that addiction over one Easter weekend. That delivery began a journey that led Jay to ultimately enter the New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary from which he will shortly graduate. Jay’s life road has included its share of bends and curves, but Jesus has been with him for all of them. Jay’s faith in Christ has grown so steadily that he has now been called by the Lord to full time service. So let’s welcome Jay Ammerman, the owner of Black Thumb Services to Anchored by Truth. Jay, your story is remarkable. But one thing comes through for anyone who talks to you is your passion for Jesus and the Gospel. That’s why when we met you we thought so many people needed to hear your story and hear about your desire to serve the Lord in whatever way He calls. When you told us that you would really like to help people think more deeply about Christ we thought a natural place to start was with Christ’s earthly ministry. So, it seemed like a good idea to get your episodes started by playing one of our Life Lessons with a Laugh on the miracles of Christ. So, let’s listen to one of those as we begin today. And as we heard in our opening scripture this Life Lesson deals with the miracle of Jesus walking on the water.  Life Lessons with a Laugh - Miracles of Jesus 4- Pond Walking VK: Well, Jay obviously our founder, RD Fierro, cannot walk on water – nor can anyone else today. So, when Jesus did walk on the water in the midst of a storm it was further confirmation of His divinity. What other lessons do you want us to learn from this miracle? Jay: Comments about the miracle of Peter, the boat, and Jesus - :40 VK: I like that. This is a story about Peter, a boat, and Jesus – P, B, and J. I think that helps us get a good framework to organize our thoughts. But you say that to really have a good grasp on this miracle we also need to understand the background of the story. What do we need to know about the background of the miracle? Jay: Comments about the background of the miracle of Jesus walking on the water - 2:30 VK: Wow. That’s a really powerful observation. When we think about Jesus walking on the water or performing any of His miracles we are tempted to forget that Jesus wasn’t just fully divine. Jesus was also fully human. So, when His close family member, John the Baptist, died he would have experienced grief just as any of us would. That’s one of the reason we can turn to Jesus in times of our own needs. He knows what it means to lose someone close. But, as you said, Jesus set aside His own grief because His great love for others was even greater than His concerns for himself. That’s an amazing thought to get us started. So, that’s the background of our PB & J story. Where do we go next? Jay: Comments about PB & J - 3:20 VK: So, the first time a storm arose and the disciples were in a boat they didn’t do so well in terms of exhibiting faith, did they? Now we’re going to move on the 2nd time. But you say there are some things we need to know about the boat and where it was to be able to properly understand what’s going on. Jay: Comments about the disciples confusion in the boat - 4:45 VK: So when the disciples saw the storm arise and Jesus wasn’t with them they would have had some reason for concern. And that concern would have been legitimate because several of the disciples had a lot of familiarity with the Sea of Galilee. They were fishermen and they had spent a lot of time out on this particular body of water. They knew it very well. And the Bible’s account says that they were a long way from land. And they had left Jesus on land. So, there’s no way they ever could have expected to get help from Jesus was there? Jay: Comments about geography of the Sea of Galilee and background of the miracle - 10:35 VK: You know that some of those details put this story of the miracle in a whole different light. I think sometimes when we read the account we forget that this was a situation that would have been scary for anyone. They were on a large, deep lake in the middle of the night and a storm is raging. And they are tired. They’ve been fighting this storm for hours. I think a lot of people can identify with the state of the disciples at that moment. There are many among us who have been fighting storms in the dark for a long time. But that’s why it’s so important for us to understand these details, isn’t it. So we can learn lessons from the boat that we can apply to our own lives. Jay: Comments about Jesus having sent the disciples into the storm and lessons from Peter’s experience - 13:38 VK: All that is both scary and comforting but it’s something we need to think about. If Jesus sends us out on a mission the storm may come but Jesus is greater than the storm. But as you said we must always be ready to call out to Jesus in the storm. A lot of us try to do what we know Jesus wants us to do using our own strength. But our strength will fail. We can only make it through the storms when we reach out to Jesus. What lessons can we draw from the fact that when the disciples couldn’t make it to Jesus, Jesus made it to them. 13:40 Jay: Comments about Jesus not leaving us or forsaking us - 15:00 VK: Well, Jesus reached out to Peter when Peter started going under the water, but as you noted Jesus did not put Peter into boat. What should we learn from that aspect of this miracle? Jay: Comments about people needing to be in the boat - 15:33 VK: Well, let’s move on to the “J” part of the PB & J. What do we learn about Jesus from this miracle? Jay: Comments about what we learn about Jesus - 16:40 VK: And before we close for today what are the big ideas that you want everyone to remember about Jesus walking on the water? Jay: Jesus is Lord and we are not and we are not in the boat alone - end VK: Well, perhaps one more thing we should note before we close for today is that we have a Savior who is able to save people even when we are facing the storms of life. Jesus will not fail us but we must learn to call out to him and continue to keep our eyes on Him even when the waters get rough. And we have to understand that we are all going to fail from time to time but Jesus does not abandon us when we fail. He just asks us to reach out to him and let him help us get back into the boat. This miracle is another illustration of why we all need to stay connected with our faith through daily prayer and Bible study? We’d really like to thank Jay Ammerman for being our guest on Anchored by Truth today. We can all still learn lessons from the miracles that Jesus performed even though they took place 2,000 years ago. As we’ve said before Jay’s life after his conversion is a great illustration of how Jesus continues to redeem destinies in our day and time. The Bible has been instrumental in changing Jay’s destiny and it can be instrumental in changing your destiny and the destinies of your friends. Today for our closing prayer, let’s listen to a prayer of corporate confession. We should all spend some time every day in prayer seeking forgiveness for our sins and those of our neighbors and community. ---- PRAYER OF CORPORATE CONFESSION (MARCUS) VK: We hope you’ll be with us in the future when we’ll continue our discussion with Jay. And we hope you’ll take some time to encourage some friends to tune in too, or listen to the podcast version of this show.

Episode 235 – A Miraculous Christ 3 with Jay Ammerman Welcome to Anchored by Truth brought to you by Crystal Sea Books. In John 14:6, Jesus said, “I am the way, the truth, and the life.” The goal of Anchored by Truth is to encourage everyone to grow in the Christian faith by anchoring themselves to the secure truth found in the inspired, inerrant, and infallible word of God. Script Notes: … the people heard that [Jesus] had come home...Some men came, bringing to him a paralyzed man, carried by four of them. Since they could not get him to Jesus because of the crowd, they made an opening in the roof above Jesus by digging through it and then lowered the mat the man was lying on. When Jesus saw their faith, he said to the paralyzed man, “Son, your sins are forgiven.” The Gospel of Mark, chapter 2, verses 2 through 5. New International Version ******** VK: Hi! Welcome back to Anchored by Truth brought to you by Crystal Sea Books. I’m Victoria K and today we are going to continue a series we call “A Miraculous Christ.” We started this series a couple of episodes ago and this is a special series for us because we are featuring Jay Ammerman. Jay has an inspirational story that everyone should hear. After being an Army combat medic and enduring three deployments with front line infantry Jay came home and began working in a hospital. Unfortunately, Jay also returned from combat with an addiction to opiate pain killers. But our God is a God of healing and deliverance and God delivered Jay from that addiction. That delivery began a journey that led Jay to ultimately enter the New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary from which he will shortly graduate. Jay’s life road has included its share of bends and curves, but Jesus has been with him for all of them. Jay’s faith in Christ has grown so steadily that he has now been called by the Lord to full time service. So let’s welcome Jay Ammerman, the owner of Black Thumb Services to Anchored by Truth. Jay, your story is remarkable – but the one constant throughout has been the presence of Christ. That’s why when we met you we thought so many people needed to hear it and hear about your passion to serve the Lord in whatever way He calls. When you told us that you would really like to help people think more deeply about the miracles Christ performed during his earthly ministry it seemed like a good idea to get your episodes started by playing one of our Life Lessons with a Laugh on the miracles of Christ. So, let’s listen to one of those. This one has to do with how Jesus responded to the loyalty of four very faithful friends.  Life Lessons with a Laugh - Miracles of Jesus 3- Thru the Roof VK: Well, Jay it’s hard to know what wild things are going to take place in one of our Life Lessons with a Laugh. So, what are some of the lessons that we can take away from Jesus healing the paralyzed man whose friends literally went through the roof for him? Jay: Comments the historical foundation of Mark 2 - 2:57 VK: So, we have very good, early manuscript evidence that supports the historical accuracy of this miracle that Mark describes. But even beyond the fact that the manuscript evidence supports the historicity there is other compelling evidence isn’t there? Jay: Comments about cultural context - 5:30 VK: What you’re saying is that the Jews of Jesus day should have been able to put 2 and 2 together and get 4. The had scriptures going back hundreds of years that said that the coming Messiah would be a miracle working figure and that He would perform miraculous healings. So, when Jesus began healing people that should have been a big clue as to who He was. But you also say that the geographic setting of the miracle is also important, isn’t it? Jay: Comments about geographic factors - 6:30 VK: So, Jesus performed a very notable miracle in a place where word of the miracle was bound to spread quickly. As you said a lot of people were coming and going from Capernaum. And just like today people like nothing more than to pass news, so the people passing through would have heard the story and they would have carried it with them to their next stop. Well, when did this miracle take place within the context of Jesus’ public ministry? Jay: Comments about miracle being early in Jesus ministry - 7:30 VK: So, Jesus performed a very notable miracle in a place where word of the miracle was bound to spread quickly and he performed it early during his ministry. This really helped establish the basis of his ministry which was going to be necessary as Jesus sought to help his disciples build their faith. How do we see that? Jay: Comments about exegetical factors of the miracle - 9:40 VK: So the crowd contained seekers, skeptics, and spectators. That’s pretty similar to what we see all around us today. What do you see as being the big problem of the skeptics? Jay: Comments about the skeptics of the miracle - 10:15 VK: But thankfully there weren’t just skeptics present that day. I mean the paralyzed man certainly had friends who seemed to believe in Jesus. Jay: Comments about the friends of the paralyzed man - 12:00 VK: So the friends’ faith in God led them to overcome the obstacles that were in their way. That demonstrates that God rewards faith. So, earlier you said that Peter’s house was apparently close to the synagogue. Why is that important? Jay: Comments about the house being close to the synagogue - 13:00 VK: What else should be noticed about the faith of the paralyzed man’s friends? Jay: Comments about faith of the friends - 14:00 VK: What other observations do you think are important from Jesus healing the paralyzed man? Why is the story so significant? Jay: Comments about Jesus being able to forgive sins - end VK: Well, you’ve made some really powerful points here today, Jay. But the most important one is that Jesus has authority to forgive our sins and He is eager to do so if we will only acknowledge those sins and acknowledge that we want him to be our savior. And perhaps one thing we should emphasize before we close for today is that we are truly blessed if we have faithful friends like the paralyzed man in the story. There are going to be times in all our lives when we are going to need the support and strength of others. The paralyzed man was blessed by having such friends even before he received the even greater blessing of having his sins forgiven and his paralysis removed. This miracle is another illustration of why we all need to build and preserve friendships with other believers? We’d really like to thank Jay Ammerman for being our guest on Anchored by Truth today. We can all still learn lessons from the miracles that Jesus performed even though they took place 2,000 years ago. As we’ve said before Jay’s life after his conversion is a great illustration of how Jesus continues to redeem destinies in our day and time. The Bible has been instrumental in changing Jay’s destiny and it can be instrumental in changing your destiny and the destinies of your friends. Today for our closing prayer, let’s listen to a prayer for our friends. We should all spend some time every day in intercessory prayer for our friends both inside and outside the church. And if we have friends who have not yielded their lives to Christ we must always pray for that time to come in their lives. ---- PRAYER FOR FRIENDS (June) VK: We hope you’ll be with us in the future when we’ll continue our discussion with Jay. And we hope you’ll take some time to encourage some friends to tune in too, or listen to the podcast version of this show.

Episode 234 – A Miraculous Christ 2 with Jay Ammerman Welcome to Anchored by Truth brought to you by Crystal Sea Books. In John 14:6, Jesus said, “I am the way, the truth, and the life.” The goal of Anchored by Truth is to encourage everyone to grow in the Christian faith by anchoring themselves to the secure truth found in the inspired, inerrant, and infallible word of God. Script Notes: Suddenly a furious storm came up on the lake, so that the waves swept over the boat. But Jesus was sleeping. The disciples went and woke him, saying, “Lord, save us! We’re going to drown!” He replied, “You of little faith, why are you so afraid?” Then he got up and rebuked the winds and the waves, and it was completely calm. The Gospel of Matthew, chapter 4, verses 24 through 26. New International Version ******** VK: Hi! Welcome back to Anchored by Truth brought to you by Crystal Sea Books. I’m Victoria K and in the studio today we are continuing the new series we began last time on Anchored by Truth featuring Jay Ammerman. Jay has a truly amazing story. After being an Army combat medic and enduring three deployments with front line infantry Jay came home and began working in a hospital. Unfortunately, he also returned from combat with an addiction to opiate pain killers. But he was completely delivered from that addiction through his faith in Christ. That has led Jay to a place where he is almost finished with his seminary study. As we can see Jay’s life has included its share of twists and turns, but his faith in Christ has grown so steadily that he has now been called by the Lord to full time service. So let’s welcome Jay Ammerman, the owner of Black Thumb Services to Anchored by Truth. Jay, your story is amazing – but the one constant throughout has been the presence of Christ. That’s why when we met you we thought it would be so amazing for you to share your passion about Christ with the listeners. And, when we found out that one subject that you really wanted to discuss was the miracles Christ performed during his earthly ministry it seemed like a good idea to get the show started by playing one of our Life Lessons with a Laugh on the miracles of Christ. So, let’s listen to one of those. This one has to do with how Jesus calmed a storm on the Sea of Galilee.  Life Lessons with a Laugh - Miracles of Jesus 2- Big Wind VK: So, Jay what are some of the first things we should learn from this very powerful demonstration of Jesus’ power over wind and water? Jay: Comments about power - 2:30 VK: So, your first “P” is “power.” One thing we should note about Jesus’ miracle of calming the storm on the Sea of Galilee was that it was a clear display of divine power. And it’s important to note that Jesus could exercise divine power because Jesus was fully divine as well as being fully human. That’s an attribute that is true of no other religious figure or human being. Jesus could calm the wind and the waves because He had made the wind and the waves. Jesus could do miracles through His own power because he is God. How about your second “P” – promise? Jay: Comments about promise - 5:40 VK: All right. We’ve covered two of your four “P’s.” The first P we see from Jesus calming the storm was that it was a display of divine power. The second P was that calming the storm was part of Jesus fulling the promise that he was going to get his disciples safely across what is well-known to be a temperamental body of water. So what is your third “P?” Jay: Comments about peace - 7:30 VK: And Jesus is not just a source of peace, He is the source of all real peace. I like your point that Jesus calmed the storm on the sea so he could go and calm the storm that was raging in the man on the far shore. What a powerful statement. The demon possessed man did not know that peace was available but Jesus brought it anyway. But Jesus had to arrive for it to come. As Jesus’ disciples in the world today we have to be the ones who bring Jesus’ peace to those who need it but don’t yet know it’s available. So, what is your 4th “P?” Jay: Comments about perseverance - 10:20 VK: Well, that’s a great point. Just because few of us don’t sail on the Sea of Galilee doesn’t mean we don’t have our own storms. We do. And Jesus will bring us peace in the storm if we turn to Him but we must turn with persevering trust. Too many times we want to turn the boat around as soon as we see dark clouds on the horizon. We must persevere with Jesus if we want His peace and power to calm our storms. Now you said RD asked you something when you two were talking about this miracle. What was that? Jay: Comments about truth - 13:35 VK: RD often notes that truth must correspond with reality. If a truth claim cannot be shown to correspond to reality then we must reject it. And one of the great things about the Bible as you alluded to is that it does correspond to reality. Numerous archeological discoveries as well as an abundant body of scientific evidence supports the fact that the Bible’s history is reliable. Jay, do you have any final thoughts about the miracle on the Sea of Galilee? Jay: Comments to wrap up – (NEED TO EDIT RAW TRACK TO JUST HAVE ONE SET OF FINAL COMMENTS) VK: We’d really like to thank Jay for being our guest on Anchored by Truth today. He’s given us some really great takeaways from this miracle. The miracle was an amazing display of Jesus’ power and it showed that Jesus not only can but does keep His promises. He suggested that the disciples go with Him to cross the sea and He was going to make sure it happened. And even though the disciples did not have peace immediately after Jesus calmed the sea they should have. The demon possessed man on the other side certainly experience peace after Jesus’ arrival. But we must stay with Jesus in the boat if we want to experience the blessings that He has for each of us. It takes perseverance to grow into Christian maturity – a lesson will illustrated in Jay’s life. Jay’s life after his conversion is a great illustration of how Jesus continues to redeem destinies in our day and time. The Bible has supernatural power and can change our lives for the better with that saving power if we will turn to it faithfully. Today for our closing prayer, let’s listen to a prayer for Christian missionaries - those who bring the saving power of the scriptures into places where it may never have been heard until their arrival. ---- PRAYER FOR CHRISTIAN MISSIONARIES (Jay) VK: We hope you’ll be with us in the future when we’ll continue our discussion with Jay.

Episode 233 – A Miraculous Christ 1 with Jay Ammerman Welcome to Anchored by Truth brought to you by Crystal Sea Books. In John 14:6, Jesus said, “I am the way, the truth, and the life.” The goal of Anchored by Truth is to encourage everyone to grow in the Christian faith by anchoring themselves to the secure truth found in the inspired, inerrant, and infallible word of God. Script Notes: What Jesus did here in Cana of Galilee was the first of the signs through which he revealed his glory; and his disciples believed in him. The Gospel of John, chapter 2, verse 11. New International Version ******** VK: Hello! Welcome to Anchored by Truth brought to you by Crystal Sea Books. I’m Victoria K in the studio and today we are going to begin a new series on Anchored by Truth featuring Jay Ammerman. We heard Jay’s remarkable story in our last episode of Anchored by Truth – how Jay was delivered from an opiate addiction through his faith in Christ and how that beginning has led Jay to a place where he is almost finished with his seminary study. Jay’s very interesting life has included being an Army combat medic, working in a hospital, and owning a businesses that helps people who are troubled by nuisance critters - critters that can be as destructive as they are cute. But Jay does so humanely by trapping them and transporting them far enough into the countryside where they won’t be a bother to people any more. Jay’s life has included its share of twists and turns, but today Jay is in the final stage of finishing seminary because he has strongly felt the call of the Lord to full time service. So let’s welcome Jay Ammerman, the owner of Black Thumb Services to Anchored by Truth. Jay, your story is amazing – but the one constant throughout has been the presence of Christ. And when we met you we realized that Christ is such a powerful presence in your life that we thought it would be wonderful if you could share some of your passion about Christ with others. So, when we found out that one subject that you really wanted to discuss was the miracles that Christ performed as part of his earthly ministry it seemed like a good idea to get the show started by playing one of our Life Lessons with a Laugh on the miracles of Christ. So, let’s listen to one of those. This one has to do with Jesus’ first miracle which was to turn water into wine at the wedding at Cana.  Life Lessons with a Laugh - Miracles of Jesus 1- Instant Grape Juice VK: So, Jay what are some of the big lessons that we can all learn from Jesus’ first miracle when he turned the water into wine? Jay: Comments - From recording on June 23rd VK: So, one point we should note about Jesus’ first miracles was that it was the first time that he displayed his divine power. Now other people in redemptive history such as Moses and Elijah had also done miracles but there was a sense in which Jesus’ first miracle was different, wasn’t there. Other people had acknowledged that it was God who was doing the miracle. But Jesus could do miracles himself because he is God, isn’t he? Jay: Comments - From recording on June 23rd 4:03 VK: And the fact that Jesus performed his first miracle at a wedding is also very significant isn’t it. I suppose that he could have done his first miracle anywhere but he chose to do it at a wedding. Why is that important? Jay: Comments - From recording on June 23rd 8:15 VK: That first miracle of Jesus was also significant in another way, wasn’t it? When Jesus turned the water into wine at the wedding it was also an example of Jesus - who is, of course, also God – demonstrating that God rewards faith. Right? Jay: Comments - From recording on June 23rd 10:30 VK: Well, one another thing that the miracle at Cana demonstrates is that God is a God who can exceed all of our expectations, right? I’m thinking about Ephesians, chapter 3, verse 20 where it says, [God] “is able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think, according to the power at work within us…” Jay: Comments - From recording on June 23rd 13:15 VK: What do you think Jesus meant when he said to Mary that his time had not yet come. What time was he referring to? Jay: Comments - From recording on June 23rd 15:12 VK: So, - as we have been discussing - obviously two inescapable elements of Jesus’ first miracle are marriage and wine. And, of course, even today those two things are often found together. Marriages are still celebrated by toasts offered by the best man and then echoed by all those attending. And often those toasts are made with some form of wine. By turning the water into wine Jesus seems to have almost linked those elements together. Why is that? Why does it matter? Jay: Comments - From recording on June 23rd 17:40 VK: The last of Jesus’ famous “I am” statements in John was “I am the vine. You are the branches.” That’s found in the Gospel of John, chapter 15, verse 5 and that statement was made near the end of Jesus’ public ministry. Obviously, vines produce grapes and grapes are used to make wine. So, in a certain sense, Jesus has placed the fruit of the vine at the beginning and end of his public, earthly ministry. Why is that? Jay: Comments - From recording on June 23rd 19:05 VK: Perhaps one more thing we should note before we close for today is that Jesus meets people where they are. And so many of Jesus’ actions during his life we can still understand easily 2,000 years later. That’s pretty amazing isn’t it? The miracle at the wedding at Cana really has a timeless dimension doesn’t it? Jay: Comments - From recording on June 23rd VK: We’d really like to thank Jay Ammerman for being our guest on Anchored by Truth today. I think we can all learn lessons from the miracles that Jesus performed even though they took place 2,000 years ago. And frankly Jay’s life after his conversion is a great illustration of how Jesus continues to redeem destinies in our day and time. Jay’s story is just one more example of how sacred scripture –the Bible – continues to demonstrate its supernatural nature through lives that are changed for the better for all eternity by its saving power. Today for our closing prayer, let’s listen to a prayer for the renewal of the Church. Certainly, one of the prayers we pray most frequently and most fervently at Anchored by Truth is that God’s word will take an increasing role in the lives of his people and in the life of the church. The church cannot be salt and light to our culture unless it is securely anchored in the only real source of truth – God’s holy, inspired, inerrant, and infallible word – the Bible. ---- PRAYER FOR RENEWAL OF THE CHURCH (Vicky) VK: We hope you’ll be with us in the future when we’ll continue our discussion with Jay. And we hope you’ll take some time to encourage some friends to tune in too, or listen to the podcast version of this show.

Episode 232 – Interview with Jay Ammerman Welcome to Anchored by Truth brought to you by Crystal Sea Books. In John 14:6, Jesus said, “I am the way, the truth, and the life.” The goal of Anchored by Truth is to encourage everyone to grow in the Christian faith by anchoring themselves to the secure truth found in the inspired, inerrant, and infallible word of God. Script Notes: For where two or three gather together as my followers, I am there among them. The Gospel of Matthew, chapter 18, verse 20. New Living Translation ******** VK: Hello! Welcome to Anchored by Truth brought to you by Crystal Sea Books. I’m Victoria K in the studio and today we have a very special episode of Anchored by Truth. Today we’re going to hear the story of someone whose life is a true testimony to the saving power of Jesus and the Bible and to the power the Bible brings to our lives. As Anchored by Truth listeners know we believe that there are four lines of evidence that demonstrate that the Bible is the inspired, inerrant, and infallible word of God. First, the Bible is historically reliable. Second, the Bible displays a remarkable unity for a book that was composed by over 3 dozen human authors who wrote over a span of 1,500 years. Third, the Bible gives evidence of supernatural origin especially through a large body of fulfilled prophecy. And the 4th line of evidence is that the Bible has resulted in an untold number of lives that have been positively changed by its transcendent message. So today we’re going to hear the story of one of those lives. In the studio today we have Jay Ammerman. Jay has his own deliverance business. Jay delivers homeowners and businesses from nuisance critters that can be as destructive as they are cute. But Jay does so humanely by trapping them and transporting them far enough into the countryside where they won’t be a bother to people any more. But beyond Jay’s successful business Jay is in the final stage of finishing seminary because he has strongly felt the call of the Lord to full time service. And as you will hear it is a call that began early for Jay and persisted despite a life that would have its twists and turns. So let’s welcome Jay Ammerman, the owner of Black Thumb Services to Anchored by Truth. Jay, your story is frankly amazing. So let’s just jump right into it. What do you remember about your very first encounter with Jesus? Jay: Thanks for inviting me to join you on Anchored by Truth. - Introductory comments - From recording on June 9th VK: How old were you when that happened? Jay: Comments about being terrible with dates - From recording on June 9th. VK: That’s both common and wonderful that you associate your first encounter with Christ with your grandmother. Too many people don’t realize what a powerful influence for Jesus that parents and grandparents can be. So what happened next in your walk with Christ? Jay: Comments about high school and “comic book” Bible - From recording on June 9th. (That young man had the bull by the horns.) VK: I think a lot of us can sympathize with that feeling. Young believers especially can get caught up in that early ecstasy of finding salvation and believing that God is calling them to something great. But as Jesus said “in this world we will have tribulation.” And that tribulation can be humbling. What happened next? Jay: Comments about playing football. (I wasn’t going to be the man he wanted me to be.) VK: How did that work out? Jay: About like you’d expect. Comments about partying life. (A sin would rise up and I would try to wrestle it down and I would fail.) 7:25 VK: At some point during that period of your life you became a opiate addict. How did that happen? Jay: Comments about developing opiate addiction (He Baker acted me with that statement) VK: Some listeners may not know that the Baker Act is the Florida law that permits someone to be involuntarily committed to an institution for purposes of determining whether they are a danger to themselves or others. So, where did they send you? Jay: Comments about developing being sent to the hospital under Baker act. (Where am I now?) VK: Well, you’re at a pretty amazing place. You went into a mental hospital with an opiate addition and now you’re out without one. All due to God’s amazing grace. That’s just, well, amazing. What happened next? Jay: Comments about coming home to the family. (He did it for us in a big way.) VK: So, what did God do in response to your prayer to have a family come into the neighborhood? Jay: Comments about Bumps and feeling the call. (proclaim his word to anyone who would listen.) VK: And that is a feeling many of us have had. Certainly, Crystal Sea’s founder RD Fierro felt that when he launched Crystal Sea. Of course, the path to which God leads us may be different. What path did God choose for you? Jay: Comments about being called to the seminary VK: That is a truly amazing story. Do you have any final thoughts for our audience before we close? Jay: Crystal Sea endorsement VK: We’d really like to thank Jay Ammerman for being our guest on Anchored by Truth today. I think we can all be inspired by the kind of faith Jay has displayed. Jay came to a saving knowledge of Christ Jesus through his grandmother’s inspiration and her pastor’s preaching. But as so often happens that was only the beginning of the story. And while we don’t all have the same kind of story Jay does all it takes to have a saving relationship with Jesus is to acknowledge our sin and acknowledge our need for a Savior. Jay’s life after her conversion has yielded a bountiful harvest for the Lord and continues to yield blessings to a great many even today. Jay’s story is just one more example of how sacred scripture –the Bible – continues to demonstrate its supernatural nature through lives that are changed for the better for all eternity by its saving power. Today for our closing prayer, let’s listen to a prayer for combatting addiction. As in Jay’s case the best approach to seeking to slay any giants that seek to destroy us are to turn to Christ and seek His saving power. Christ can and does deliver his children by the power that He alone possesses. ---- PRAYER FOR COMBATTING ADDICTION VK: We hope you’ll be with us in the future when we’ll continue our discussion with Jay. And we hope you’ll take some time to encourage some friends to tune in too, or listen to the podcast version of this show.

Nearly 34 years after the Pan Am Flight 103 bombing, Abu Agila Mohammed Masud was taken into U.S. custody this week and accused of building the bomb that killed 270 people.

How are scars from nonsuicidal self-injury (NSSI) different than physical scars that are unintentional or result from non-self-inflicted wounds ? What psychological effects can result from daily reminders of one's own decision to self-harm? Is there an association between NSSI scars and suicidal thoughts and behaviors? In this episode, Dr. Burke discusses the mixed relationship that many people who self-injure have with the scars they bear from NSSI and how some may feel the need to hide their scars even from themselves. Learn more about Dr. Burke and her work by clicking here or visiting the Mood & Behavior Lab (MABL) at www.moodandbehaviorlab.org.

The gender pay gap is still a persistent problem in today's society, reflecting the overall state of gender inequality. It is full of complexity and comprises different facets, making it hard to understand the overall situation. We have covered the topic before, but in this episode, we go into a whole new level of detail.
