Nick Redfern returns to the show to talk about his latest book, Close Enounters of the Fatal Kind. First, though we spend a time talking about Bigfoot, Monsters, and the paranormal in general. Redfern is one the world's most sought-after speakers and media spokespersons on the science of animals whose existence has not been proven (until now) and the existence of animals considered to be extinct. He has appeared on more than 100 radio and TV programs, from the BBC to Fox News, MSNBC and National Geographic. Monster Files lays out the persistent rumors, tales, and legends that government agencies around the world have secretly collected, and the book reveals a wide variety of hair-raising data on bizarre beasts, amazing animals, and strange creatures. No longer the subject of just folk tales and bedtime stories, Bigfoot, the Loch Ness Monster, sea serpents, psychic pets, the chupacabras, and abominable snowmen have all been sighted, documented and hidden from the public. In his inimitable, entertaining style, Redfern ferrets out this official, ultra-classified information. Monsters, creepy creatures, and terrifying beasts really do exist––our governments know all about them––Monster Files exposes them.

The cultural hangovers of Christianity are well attested.Recently, people who were once describing themselves as ‘New Atheists' have gone as far as to call themselves ‘Cultural Christians', due to the prevalence of Christian thought in modern ethics.But what if the great dream of the New Atheists eventually succeeded?What would a world where God was actually dead look like?FOR FULL SHOW NOTES - click here.CREDITSUndeceptions is hosted by John Dickson, produced by Kaley Payne and directed by Mark Hadley. Alasdair Belling is a writer-researcher.Siobhan McGuiness is our online librarian. Lyndie Leviston remains John's wonderful assistant.  Santino Dimarco is Chief Finance and Operations Consultant. Peter Kozushko is our North American representative and a point of contact for church pastors interested in engaging with our work here at Undeceptions.  Editing by Richard Hamwi.Our voice actor today was Dakotah Love. Special thanks to our series sponsor Zondervan for making this Undeception possible. Undeceptions is the flagship podcast of Undeceptions.com - letting the truth out.

Are ancient heresies still influencing Christianity today? In this video, we explore Ancient Heresies That Are Still Around Today and how false teachings from the early church are still impacting modern faith, theology, and culture. Many believers—especially new Christians, Gen Z Christians, and people curious about Jesus—don't realize that ideas similar to Gnosticism, Arianism, and other early church heresies continue to appear in modern conversations about God, Jesus Christ, and the Bible.If you're a Christian wanting to strengthen your faith, someone struggling with doubt, or a skeptic exploring Christianity, this video will help you understand how early church leaders defended biblical truth, sound doctrine, and the gospel of Jesus Christ against teachings that distorted the message of salvation. We break down these ancient theological errors in a clear and relatable way so you can recognize them when they show up in modern spirituality, progressive theology, or cultural Christianity.Understanding these historical heresies will deepen your knowledge of Christian theology, church history, apologetics, and biblical doctrine while helping you stay rooted in the truth of Scripture. If you want to grow spiritually, defend your faith, and better understand what the Bible actually teaches about Jesus, this video is for you.Subscribe for more Christian apologetics, Bible teaching, faith encouragement, and deep dives into Christian history.Got any questions or topics you'd like to hear about?

FOLLOW RICHARD Website: https://www.strangeplanet.ca YouTube: @strangeplanetradio Instagram: @richardsyrettstrangeplanet TikTok: @therealstrangeplanet EP. # 1332 The Anunnaki Stargate: Did Ancient Priesthoods Open Doorways Through Consciousness For thousands of years, the Sumerians told of powerful beings known as the Anunnaki—mysterious entities said to have shaped civilization, bestowed knowledge, and then vanished into myth. Most people today assume they were extraterrestrials. But what if the story was never about aliens at all? Historian Dr. Heather Lynn argues that the Anunnaki may have been non-human intelligences encountered through altered states of consciousness—accessed through ritual, trance, and sacred practices used by ancient priesthoods. In her new book Anunnaki Revelation, she explores a startling possibility: that ancient civilizations possessed a lost technology of consciousness—a kind of stargate of the mind—capable of opening contact with other realms. GUEST: Dr. Heather Lynn is a historian, researcher, and author who explores the hidden side of ancient history—where archaeology, mythology, and the occult intersect. She has appeared on the History Channel's Ancient Aliens and written several books examining lost civilizations, forbidden knowledge, and the mysteries embedded in ancient texts. Her latest book, Anunnaki Revelation, challenges the extraterrestrial narrative and proposes a startling new interpretation: that the “gods” of antiquity may have been non-human intelligences encountered through altered states of consciousness.

Leyla Kazim reports from cork country in Portugal - where up to 10,000 of hectares of cork oak trees are being lost every year, despite laws protecting them from being cut down. Climate change is putting new stresses on the ancient forests, and as the cork industry worries that falling wine consumption could shrink global demand, Leyla asks why Portugal became the world's biggest producer of cork in the first place, and what it will take to keep them thriving. She meets farmers using regenerative methods of working the land to protect the montado, and plantations where thousands of new trees are being planted.Presented by Leyla Kazim Produced in Bristol for BBC Audio by Natalie Donovan

When it comes to megaliths — massive stones set in place by prehistoric people — Americans are probably most familiar with Stonehenge. But the U.K.'s landscape is punctuated with thousands of these majestic stones. Some are set in circles, others in rows. A few even form doorways that align with the sun at solstice. Long revered for their mythical presence, megaliths woo both curiosity seekers and die-hard enthusiasts. Fiona Robertson falls into that second camp. She was captivated by Britain's ancient stones from an early age. When she met her husband, Stephen, a shared love of megaliths drew them together. And it was the megaliths who comforted her and gave her room to grieve when Stephen was diagnosed with terminal cancer. Robertson's new book, “Stone Lands,” is part homage to the grandeur and mystery of megaliths and part memoir of a wrenching loss. This week, on Big Books and Bold Ideas, Robertson shares her love and her consolation with Kerri Miller, as they verbally explore Britain's megaliths together. Guest:Fiona Robertson is a writer and dedicated stone-seeker. Her new book is titled, “Stone Lands: A Journey of Darkness and Light through Britain's Ancient Places.” Subscribe to the Thread newsletter for the latest book and author news and must-read recommendations.Subscribe to Big Books and Bold Ideas with Kerri Miller on Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, RSS or anywhere you get your podcasts.

Why does the modern pursuit of happiness so often leave people feeling lost? In this episode of The Lectern, John Vervaeke speaks with cognitive scientist Mark Miller about the emerging science of happiness and the deeper architecture of the human mind. Drawing from predictive processing theory, the conversation explores how human beings function as epistemic agents who constantly construct models of the world and themselves. The discussion examines why common cultural narratives about happiness are often misleading and why genuine flourishing requires understanding the underlying cognitive processes that shape perception, motivation, and meaning. Mark introduces the framework behind his Lectern course Generations of Joy, which integrates cognitive science, philosophy, contemplative practice, and modern neuroscience. Mark Miller is a cognitive scientist specializing in predictive processing, wellbeing, and the cognitive science of happiness. He teaches in the psychology and cognitive science programs at the University of Toronto and conducts research with the Center for Consciousness and Contemplative Studies at Monash University. He is also affiliated with Hokkaido University where he contributes to interdisciplinary work on artificial intelligence, neuroscience, and human nature.

Misha Glenny and guests discuss the laws that Hammurabi (c1810 - c1750 BC), King of Babylon, had carved into a black basalt pillar in present day Iraq and which, since its rediscovery in 1901 in present day Iran, has affirmed Hammurabi's reputation as one of the first great lawmakers. Visitors to the Louvre in Paris can see it on display with almost 300 rules in cuneiform, covering anything from ‘an eye for an eye' to how to handle murder, divorce, witchcraft, false accusations and more. The Code of Hammurabi, as it became known, made such an impression in Mesopotamia that it was copied and shared for a millennium after his death and, since its reemergence, Hammurabi and his Code have been commemorated in the US Capitol and the International Court of Justice.WithMartin Worthington Professor in Middle Eastern Studies at Trinity College DublinFrances Reynolds Shillito Fellow and Associate Professor of Assyriology at the University of Oxford and Senior Research Fellow at The Queen's CollegeAnd Selena Wisnom Lecturer in the Heritage of the Middle East at the University of LeicesterProducer: Simon TillotsonReading list:Zainab Bahrani, Mesopotamia: Ancient Art and Architecture (Thames and Hudson, 2017)Dominique Charpin, Hammurabi of Babylon (I.B.

Her path led her deep into the Yucatán rainforest where she studied a private research project blending Mayan agricultural wisdom, plant medicine, microbial fermentation, and ancient water practices. We talk about how many chronic health issues may stem from environmental toxins, emotional stress, inflammation, and disruptions in the body's internal terrain, and why ancient cultures focused on restoring balance through nature, detoxification, and cellular regeneration.Dr. Lara Wegener also shares insights into her upcoming project Forest in a Bottle and explains how fermented rainforest botanicals and microorganisms may support cellular health, detoxification, and regeneration. In our conversation we explore the concept of water memory, the energetic imprint of food and epigenetics, and simple daily habits that can support health such as hydration, movement, and choosing clean whole foods. We also dive into my fascination with ancient civilizations and discuss powerful sacred sites like Giza, Chichén Itzá, Chaco Canyon, and Göbekli Tepe and what these places may reveal about the deeper connection between nature, consciousness, and healing.IN THIS EPISODE:(02:59) Meet Dr. Lara Wegener and her unconventional path(04:35) Leaving conventional medicine after Oxford and Stanford(05:52) Rainforest research and Mayan healing discovery(07:41) Forest in a Bottle and rainforest plant medicine(08:04) DMSO fermentation and the science behind it(10:00) Mayan healing encounter and powerful plant medicine(13:04) Detox, toxins, inflammation and root cause disease(19:38) Ancient healing traditions across cultures explained(21:28) Self sovereignty, intuition and true health(22:59) Why modern food and the US diet disconnect us(26:55) Morning wellness routine and daily health foundations(27:29) Water memory, sacred springs and hydration(28:59) Food energy, epigenetics and microbiome health(29:59) Meat, protein and regenerative food sourcing(32:01) Hidden dangers of sugary drinks and artificial sweeteners(35:11) Daily movement habits that transform health(36:46) Forest in a Bottle products and cellular regeneration(38:17) Miracles, consciousness and ancient site activations(41:45) Sacred sites, pyramids and ancient energy(45:38) Gobekli Tepe, lost technology and ancient civilizations(47:51) Final reflections, gratitude and where to learn moreCONNECT WITH DR.

For 300,000 years, your brain has had one job it never missed.Detect what isn't human.Not through logic. Not through analysis. Through something much older and much faster, a visceral, instinctive signal buried deep in your nervous system that fires before you can even form a conscious thought. Too still. Too smooth. Wrong in a way you can't name. Run.That signal is called the uncanny valley. And it kept our species alive.Until now.Because the thing that just spoke to you online, the face in that video, the voice on the other end of that call, AI has crossed the threshold. The glitch is gone. The wrongness is gone. Your ancient alarm system is firing at nothing, because it no longer knows what to fire at.And evolution cannot keep up with a technology that doubles in capability every eighteen months.So what happens to a species that loses the ability to detect its predators? What happens to trust, to relationships, to society itself, when the line between human and not-human disappears completely?

 Why do dogs understand us so well, and how did the "wild" wolf become man's closest companion? This episode tells the remarkable story of how a partnership thousands of years ago changed both species forever.  From ancient myths to modern living rooms, it shows how dogs helped build human civilisation and captured our hearts.  The story of Argos, Odysseus' loyal hunting dog Friendlier Ice Age wolves scavenged leftovers and formed a partnership. Dogs read human signals; puppy dog eyes win care. Tameness changed bodies and diet, including starch digestion. Fox experiment proved tameness reshapes bodies within generations. Working dogs helped herding, travel, and growing settlements. Dogs used in war and as status symbols. Ancient grave shows care for a sick dog. Victorians made dogs pets; Kennel Club set breeds. After war, pet dogs spread; today ownership and spending soar.

BES OF: The intersection of artificial intelligence and cosmic horror reveals a startling synergy. Neural networks possess a unique capacity to render the "indescribable" terrors of H.P. Lovecraft, manifesting non-Euclidean geometries and surreal visages that mirror ancient accounts of the spirit realm. This program explores the theory that technology acts as a modern scrying stone, tapping into the same "backend" of reality reached through dreams, NDEs, and shamanic states. From the therianthropic figures of cave art to the glitch-haunted aesthetics of AI-generated monsters, we examine whether these digital shadows are merely math—or a gateway to a very real, etheric "Upside Down" that our ancestors once called the land of the dead.*The is the FREE archive, which includes advertisements.

This episode is a verse-by-verse Bible study of Joel 1:1-7, exploring the historical context, meaning, and faithful application of the passage within the Christian faith. A sky darkened by wings, vines gnawed to white sticks, and a promise bold enough to rebuild a future—Joel is both poetry and prophecy, and we dive straight into its heart. We set the scene for a focused, verse-by-verse journey through a book many skip, yet one that shapes how we understand the Day of the Lord, the outpouring of the Spirit, and Revelation's fiercest images. From the opening lines, Joel confronts complacency with a locust plague so sustained it wipes out not only harvests but hope, and then he draws a line toward restoration that refuses to be small.We break down Joel's twin themes—judgment and restoration—and show how they establish a pattern across the prophets: God uses nations to discipline Israel, judges those nations in turn, and brings Israel back to forgiveness and life. Along the way, we examine key New Testament connections: Peter's use of Joel at Pentecost, 2 Thessalonians 2 on the man of lawlessness and timing, and 2nd and 3rd Peter on sudden cosmic upheaval. We also address common misreads, including why Joel's scale and promises do not fit 70 AD, and how to let Joel speak in his own context before layering later theology.You'll hear why the book's literary force matters—how imagery like locusts, sickle, and winepress informs Revelation—and how Joel's call to return to the Lord speaks into modern seasons of loss. If your life feels like wave after wave, Joel's path moves from lament to promise, not by minimizing pain but by magnifying God's faithfulness. Join us as we read carefully, think clearly, and seek the God who warns to wake us and restores to keep us.If this study helps you see Joel—and the whole Bible—with new clarity, follow the show, share it with a friend, and leave a review so others can find it.Support the showThank you for listening!!

What happens when ancient demonology, modern paranormal research, and biblical theology collide?In Necronetics Part 2, the Nephilim Death Squad welcomes back Nathaniel Gillis, researcher and author known for his deep work on demonology, supernatural phenomena, and the intersection of theology with the paranormal. This conversation continues the exploration of necronetics—the study of how ancient spiritual entities, death rituals, and occult traditions intersect with modern paranormal encounters.Raven, TopLobsta, and Nathaniel dive into the darker side of spiritual phenomena, discussing historical demonology, spiritual warfare, paranormal manifestations, and the ways ancient beliefs continue to shape modern supernatural encounters. The discussion moves between theology, anthropology, and paranormal research while examining how biblical frameworks interact with contemporary reports of the supernatural.Blending serious research with Nephilim Death Squad's signature humor and curiosity, this episode explores questions many researchers and theologians are asking today: are ancient spiritual entities still influencing the modern world?

When at Wine Paris, I visited the booths of many countries. Catching up with old friends, and forging new relationships to help move the needle in wine.  As I visited the Armenian wine booth, there was a bustle in the air. If there is an old guard in the Armenian wine trade, it would be Vahe Keusguarian. He forged much of what is the modern wine industry there. But before Vahe, there was Karas. In fact, Vahe's first job as he picked up his life and moved to Armenia...was at Karas.  At the helm at Karas, an incredibly capable young woman; Juliana Del Aguila. Not only does she responsible for this pioneering winery in Armenia, she is at the helm of Bodega Fin Del Mundo in Argentina. Can you imagine that travel log? She spyed me in the corner of her eye and quickly came to say hi. You see, Wine Talks was one of her first podcasts...if not the first. Hear her here. Juliana de la Guila brings more than wine knowledge—she brings continents together in a single conversation. You'll quickly realize that when it comes to Karas Wines and the Armenian wine revival, her passion is as layered as a rare vintage, with roots reaching from the arid soils of the Ararat Valley to the windswept vineyards of Patagonia. In this episode, you'll discover how Juliana and her family became pioneers in resurrecting Armenia's ancient winemaking tradition after decades lost to brandy production under the Soviet Union. You'll learn why the rebirth of Armenian viticulture is more than just an economic opportunity—it's about community, sustainability, and rekindling magic in a bottle that Armenians can send around the world as a piece of home. Juliana de la Guila will reveal how indigenous varietals like Areni are reclaiming their historical seat at the world's wine table and why international grapes such as Malbec and Cabernet Franc are being invited to the Armenian party, all in the search for terroir and expression. Along the way, you'll pick up surprising insights about irrigation from Turkish reservoirs, organic certification, and the delicate balance of tradition and innovation, as well as the emotional and existential connection that makes a glass of Armenian wine taste like home. From the shifting Los Angeles wine market to China's nascent curiosity, from new cuisine in Yerevan's wine bars to the soul of sustainable farming, you'll walk away with a story that's as much about family, identity, and evolution as it is about grapes. Prepare to taste history, experience emotion, and understand how wine truly connects land, legacy, and the modern world—one bottle at a time. Three things you'll learn in this episode: Why Armenian wine disappeared for decades, how it's being reborn, and what it takes to reestablish a nation's grape legacy. The challenges and triumphs of introducing Armenian and Patagonian wines to international markets—and the surprising reactions from both sommeliers and consumers. How the culture around food, wine, and celebration is evolving in Armenia, from modern wine bars to the interplay of ancient tradition and diaspora influences. https://youtu.be/TuE7Lb8x68E

In this episode of Gateways to Awakening, I sit down with Jose Maria Barrera, software engineer, photographer, and author of Dendera: Temple of Time, to explore one of the most mysterious and symbolically rich temples in all of Egypt — the Temple of Dendera.What begins as a conversation about ancient architecture quickly becomes something much deeper: a meditation on language, time, symbols, divinity, and the difference between modern precision and ancient wholeness.Jose bridges two worlds effortlessly — the scientific and the symbolic. As a data architect and lifelong student of Egyptian cosmology, he invites us to reconsider what we think we know about ancient civilizations. We explore:• Why the ceiling of Dendera — with its pristine zodiac — stunned Napoleon's scholars • How astrology is “science expressed in symbols” • The difference between precision (modern language) and wholeness (symbolic language) • Why ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs were considered sacred sounds • The cyclical nature of time — and why linear thinking may limit our perception • The Nile as a living metaphor for life, death, and rebirth • Why the builders of Dendera weren't building for “future civilizations” — but for eternityJose offers a profound reframe: the ancient Egyptians were not obsessed with death — they were celebrating life in its most finite and divine expression.This episode is a reminder that symbols are not primitive thinking — they are a different lens of intelligence.And perhaps most importantly:The world is not made of matter. It is made of meaning.1. Time is cyclical, not linear. Everything we measure — clocks, seasons, lunar cycles, the Nile flooding — is circular. The ancients lived inside this understanding.2. Astrology is symbolic astronomy. The zodiac at Dendera reflects Babylonian, Greek, and Egyptian synthesis — science encoded through sacred imagery.3. Precision and wholeness are two different intelligences. Modern civilization optimized for precision. Ancient civilizations optimized for symbolic integration.4. Language shapes reality. In ancient Egypt, sounds themselves were divine. To speak was to invoke god.5. Symbols preserve eternity. The Egyptians inscribed images in stone not for “future humans,” but because the symbols themselves were sacred and timeless.6. Life is divine because it ends. The finite nature of existence is what makes it miraculous.“Remember that from the moment you are born until the moment you die, you are the center of the universe. Every moment you experience is at the center of the universe — because everything is around you.”“They (The Egyptians) did not build for future civilizations. They built for eternity.”Tune in to Gateways to Awakening for more conversations with leading thinkers, creators, and spiritual pioneers shaping the future of consciousness.

Are there ancient "stargates" in Iran? As geopolitical tensions rise, so do the outrageous claims of hidden portals and supernatural weapons. On this episode of The Secret Teachings, host Ryan Gable deconstructs the latest viral misinformation spreading across the internet.We examine why we haven't seen "evidence" of these portals in conflict zones like Iraq or Venezuela until it serves a specific clickbait narrative. From the myth of the Iran Stargate to the hijacking of legitimate archaeological efforts labeled as "Project Resurrection," we peel back the layers of how sleazy digital exploitation uses death and chaos for social media engagement.Is there a government project aiming to bring an ancient god back to life, or is a real project to preserve antiquities being weaponized by "conspiracy" influencers? Let's be clear: the burden of proof lies on those making the claims. Tonight, we demand the evidence and expose the logic—or lack thereof—behind the modern mythology of the "Stargate" era.*The is the FREE archive, which includes advertisements.

This week, we talk about Microsoft's rumblings about their next console and how Sony is rumored to be staying far away from those tremors.  But what will it all mean in thousands of years?  Perhaps some far-future technology will be able to piece together our console war in the way that we piece together Roman board games today.

Aleksandra Ceho's path in astrology began in her grandfather's library, reading ancient texts and manually casting charts as a child. In this episode, she makes the case that modern astrology is a watered down version of what it once was, a unified discipline with astronomy, practiced by some of the most mathematically gifted minds of their time, used to guide kings in forecasting war, famine, and weather.We explore how Aleksandra uses natal charts and business incorporation charts to help entrepreneurs identify incoming energies and make more aligned decisions, the importance of birth time and chart rectification via major life events, and why charts "incline, not determine" outcomes. The conversation also ventures into the link between astrology and ritual magic, planetary archetypes for healing and transformation, and the ethics of magical practice, and why the most powerful magic is always focused inward.Where to find Aleks: https://astrologerroyale.com/Send a textSupport the showLove the show?

Born from Clive Barker's 1984 horror fiction but rooted in genuine British pagan tradition, Rawhead Rex represents modern folklore at its most visceral. This isn't an ancient legend—it's a contemporary monster that tapped into real fears about buried gods, standing stones, and pre-Christian powers lurking beneath Britain's soil. When a farmer breaks the seal imprisoning this nine-foot creature of muscle and teeth, it brings with it an appetite that hasn't been satisfied in over a thousand years—and a reminder that new folklore emerges when fiction resonates deeply enough with our ancient terrors.   freakyfolklore.com   #RawheadRex #BritishFolklore #FreakyFolklore #PaganGods #RuralHorror #ForgottenDeities #AncientEvil #CliveBarker #EnglishLegends #FieldGods #PreChristianMyths #BritishHorror   EXPLORE MORE SPINE-CHILLING CONTENT: Freaky Folklore: https://www.eeriecast.com/podcasts/freaky-folklore Carman's Crypt (Original Horror): https://carmanscrypt.buzzsprout.com  Deadly Intent (True Crime): https://carmancarrion.buzzsprout.com Destination Terror: https://www.eeriecast.com/podcasts/destination-terror    SUPPORT THE SHOW: Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/c/CarmanCarrion  Buy Me a Coffee: https://buymeacoffee.com/carmancarrion   CONNECT WITH CARMAN: Website: https://www.carman-carrion.com/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@CarmanCarrion Twitter/X: https://x.com/CarmanCarrion Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/carmancarrion/   SUBSCRIBE & REVIEW: Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0uiX155WEJnN7QVRfo3aQY iTunes: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/freaky-folklore/id1550361184 Your support helps bring you more terrifying tales!   DISCOVER MORE HORROR: http://eeriecast.com/ https://www.carman-carrion.com/   Crypt Shop: https: //the-crypt-shop-2.myshopify.com/   MUSIC CREDITS: Music and sound effects provided by: CO.AG, Myuu, Jinglepunks, Epidemic Sound, Kevin MacLeod, Dark Music, and Soundstripe.   Learn more about your ad choices.

In this episode, we kick off a brand new two-week series titled "Modern Men and Our Ancient Scripts." Join us as we explore the evolving definitions of masculinity and what it truly means to be a man in today's world. Whether you're a man of any age, a father, or someone who interacts with men in your life, this series is relevant for you. We delve into the narratives and expectations that shape our understanding of masculinity, often handed down through family, culture, and society. Through engaging stories and historical examples, including a fascinating look at Genghis Khan's definition of masculinity, we challenge the conventional scripts that have been passed down to us. We also discuss the importance of self-reflection and understanding the scripts we've been given, and how they influence our lives and relationships. As we navigate these complex topics, we emphasize the model of masculinity found in Jesus, who embodies both strength and humility. This episode sets the stage for a deeper conversation about what it means to follow Jesus and how that impacts our understanding of manhood. Tune in for an insightful discussion that invites you to reconsider the cultural constructs of masculinity and encourages you to embrace a more profound, Christ-centered definition of what it means to be a man. Topics Covered: -The definition of masculinity -Cultural and familial influences on our understanding of manhood -Historical examples of masculinity -The model of masculinity in Jesus -Self-reflection and personal growth Read along with our chosen scripture: Revelation 19:21; Luke 23:35–37; Philippians 2:8 The Main Idea: Everyone carries a script for what a man should be—most of it inherited, not chosen. This 2-week series exposes the old scripts and offers a better one. It's for men, but relevant to everyone who lives with, works with, or knows them. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- We are an alternative to church as usual. Our Sunday worship service is approximately a 75-minute experience designed to introduce people to the message of Jesus and equip believers to live their lives in response to the Gospel while their kids enjoy one of our safe children's environments. Centerpoint is designed to meet you wherever you are on the journey whether you are just checking out the "church thing" or you are a committed Christ follower. Centerpoint is a casual environment that combines today's music with creative media and relevant teaching. We hope you will visit us at Centerpoint Church regardless of what your past church experience has looked like.

Rev. Austin Pfeiffer explores the Transfiguration of Jesus in Matthew 17, where Peter's anxious chatter and the disciples' frozen silence reveal how easily we sort Jesus into a manageable category. A good teacher, a moral example, someone worth honoring, but not the God worth falling on our face before. When the Father interrupts with "This is my Son, listen to him," Jesus speaks the full claim of the text: that the Ancient of Days himself has come down the mountain, to the cross, to reclaim the Peters and the quiet ones alike. Not because of anything we do, but because he keeps speaking a better word.

Special thanks to Undeceptions Season 16 major sponsor Zondervan Academic. Since Charles Darwin's 1859 book On the Origin of Species, evolution has been considered by many to be the final nail in the coffin of religion.Because evolution is supposedly random - or indeed, blind - the argument follows that there is no design.But recently, a quiet revolution has been raging among the top tier of evolutionary scientists.The apparent randomness of evolution has come into question, and some experts now suggest there may be patterns, agency, and even intention behind it all.FOR FULL SHOW NOTES - click here.CREDITSUndeceptions is hosted by John Dickson, produced by Kaley Payne and directed by Mark Hadley. Alasdair Belling is a writer-researcher.Siobhan McGuiness is our online librarian. Lyndie Leviston remains John's wonderful assistant.  Santino Dimarco is Chief Finance and Operations Consultant. Peter Kozushko is our North American representative and a point of contact for church pastors interested in engaging with our work here at Undeceptions.  Editing by Richard Hamwi.Our voice actor today was Dakotah Love. Special thanks to our series sponsor Zondervan for making this Undeception possible. Undeceptions is the flagship podcast of Undeceptions.com - letting the truth out.

Garth Heckman The David Alliance TDAgiantSlayer@Gmail.com      2 Kings 22 2 Chronicles 32 ISAIAH 22   2 Kings 18:5 "Hezekiah trusted in the Lord, the God of Israel. There was no one like him among all the kings of Judah, either before him or after him.”   Hezekiah's reign was defined by a radical, almost stubborn reliance on God during a time of national crisis.   He became king after one of Judah's worst rulers, **Ahaz**, (HIS FATHER!) who had plunged the nation into idolatry. Hezekiah reversed the spiritual direction of the nation.   How does this happen… a 25 year old in the prime of life, sex drive, life drive and power… how did he turn out completely different from his father? Well… he had a mom called Abijah the daughter of the prophet Zechariah… Now I don't know why she married him, but she did. Ahaz's wickedness—idolatry, child sacrifice, and alliances with pagan powers (2 Kings 16)—developed or became evident during his reign, but he was likely already crown prince or young king when the marriage was arranged. Ancient betrothals or marriages could occur in youth (Ahaz was around 20 when he became king, and Hezekiah was born when Ahaz was quite young), often before a person's full character was manifest or before major moral failings were public.   Beside the point… King Hezekiah was a complete 180 from his father… Mom did something right!    Our tendency is to think that when we are genuinely faithful to God we will be immune from attack. The experience of Hezekiah and countless other men and women of God tell us otherwise.   He does everything right in the face of unbelievable circumstances… truly an uphill demonic battle and for his faithfulness and troubles he gets attacked from the worst enemy in the world.

What if inflammation isn't the enemy? For decades we've been told to suppress it, silence it, and eliminate it as quickly as possible. Anti-inflammatory diets. Anti-inflammatory drugs. Anti-inflammatory supplements. But what if the body is doing exactly what it's supposed to do? In this powerful solo episode, Darin breaks down the biology of inflammation and challenges the modern narrative that inflammation itself is the disease. Instead, he reveals a deeper truth: inflammation is a signal — an intelligent response to disruption in the body's environment. From gut health and modern diet to stress, sleep deprivation, environmental toxins, and movement deprivation, this episode uncovers the real drivers behind chronic inflammation and why suppressing the signal without addressing the cause may actually delay healing. This isn't about rejecting modern medicine. It's about asking a better question. Why is the fire there in the first place?     In This Episode Why inflammation is the body's emergency response system The difference between acute inflammation and chronic inflammation The chemical cascade that activates the immune response How the body naturally turns inflammation off through resolution molecules Why chronic inflammation is often a signal that the trigger hasn't been removed The gut microbiome and the connection between leaky gut and systemic inflammation Why Western diets dramatically alter inflammatory signaling The omega-6 to omega-3 imbalance in modern food systems How refined sugar activates inflammatory pathways in the body Chronic psychological stress and the HPA axis inflammatory response The gut-brain-inflammation connection and mental health Sleep disruption and the immune-sleep "crosstalk" cycle Why skeletal muscle acts as an anti-inflammatory organ Environmental toxins, PFAS, pesticides, and microplastics as immune triggers What ancient systems like Ayurveda and Traditional Chinese Medicine understood about inflammation thousands of years ago The global reliance on NSAIDs and the culture of suppressing symptoms Research showing anti-inflammatory drugs may delay healing The cycle of gut damage and chronic inflammation created by long-term NSAID use Why removing triggers is the real path to resolving inflammation     Chapters 00:00:03 – Opening: Welcome to SuperLife and the mission of building health sovereignty 00:00:33 – Sponsor: Manna 00:02:16 – Introducing the topic: Why inflammation may be widely misunderstood 00:03:00 – The modern obsession with "anti-inflammatory everything" 00:04:14 – Reframing inflammation: the body's emergency response system 00:05:30 – What actually happens inside the body during inflammation 00:07:00 – Breakthrough research on the body's natural inflammation resolution system 00:08:01 – Acute inflammation vs chronic inflammation explained 00:09:14 – Chronic inflammation and its link to major diseases 00:09:45 – Why inflammation is often a symptom rather than the root cause 00:10:40 – The gut microbiome and its role in regulating inflammation 00:11:40 – How ultra-processed foods damage the gut and trigger inflammatory signals 00:12:23 – Sponsor: Our Place 00:14:53 – Omega-3 vs omega-6 fats and their influence on inflammatory pathways 00:15:48 – Sugar, insulin signaling, and metabolic inflammation 00:16:09 – Chronic stress and the inflammatory cascade 00:17:06 – The gut-brain-inflammation connection 00:18:00 – Sleep and the body's nightly inflammatory reset 00:18:31 – Muscle contraction and the release of anti-inflammatory myokines 00:19:16 – Environmental toxins and why the immune system responds with inflammation 00:20:04 – Ancient perspectives on inflammation, including Ayurveda's concept of "Pitta" 00:22:48 – The widespread use of NSAIDs and anti-inflammatory medications 00:23:50 – Research showing suppressing inflammation may delay healing 00:25:05 – The vicious cycle of NSAIDs damaging the gut and increasing inflammation 00:26:15 – Dietary patterns that reduce inflammatory triggers 00:27:18 – Why daily movement acts as natural anti-inflammatory medicine 00:27:50 – A better question to ask your doctor: Why is inflammation present? 00:28:09 – The final perspective: inflammation as communication from the body 00:29:07 – Closing message: inflammation is not the enemy: it's the conversation     Thank You to Our Sponsors Our Place – Non-toxic cookware that keeps harmful chemicals out of your food.

It is your body raising the alarm: responding to stress, toxins, injury, imbalance, and disruption. Suppressing the alarm without asking why it's ringing keeps the cycle going. Healing begins when we stop fighting the signal and start listening to what the body is trying to tell us. Your body isn't broken. It's responding to the environment it's been given. Change the environment and the biology follows.
