Alcohol Freedom Coaching | EP 919 If you're trying to figure out how to stop drinking for good, you'll want to tune in for this episode. Shannon is 14 days alcohol-free and the first person on either side of her family to ever try changing their drinking — and every time a family member sets down their glass because she isn't having one, the guilt shows up right on schedule. Amy read This Naked Mind five years ago, went alcohol-free for five months, lost her mother during COVID, and spent five years trying to get back. She's six weeks in now and more afraid of losing it than she's been afraid of anything she's built for herself. Listen and find out what actually gets in the way for both of them.Shannon discusses: Growing up surrounded by heavy drinkers & being the first to step away The guilt she carries when family members say they "won't drink either" on her account Tracing people-pleasing back to a 7-year-old part of herself who learned to be responsible for others' feelings Her ALIVE goal: free, full of hope and joy, not chained to a substance or to other people's reactions Amy discusses: Being six weeks alcohol-free and terrified of losing what she's worked so hard to build Reading This Naked Mind five years ago, going alcohol-free for five months, losing her mother during COVID, and drinking again for five years The shift from holding alcohol freedom in a clenched fist to an open hand How taking care of her granddaughter became the biggest trigger — and how she navigated it without drinking And more from both guests… Cole Harvey is a certified Naked Mind Senior Coach.

Get ready for an incredible broadcast today as we dive into 2 Samuel 5–6 and John 5! We are stepping right into moments of radical power and boundary-breaking moments. In the Old Testament, we'll watch King David establish his kingdom and dance with unapologetic joy before the Ark of the Covenant. Then, we'll flip to the New Testament to witness Jesus stir up massive controversy by healing a man paralyzed for 38 years on the Sabbath. From passionate praise to miraculous healing and divine authority, these chapters are packed with truths that will challenge and inspire us.Connect with us on social:Telegram: @beholdisraelchannelInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/amir.tsarfati/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/beholdisrael/X: https://x.com/beholdisraelYouTube: https://youtube.com/@beholdisrael
→ Watch on YouTube → Detailed Show Notes(00:00) An overview of these chapters. The kingdom of Israel divides when Solomon's son Rehoboam refuses to reduce the burden on the northern tribes.(06:55) A brief history of the Lost Ten Tribes in the north and Judah in the south.(10:48) Jeroboam, worried that his people will turn their hearts towards the leaders in the south when they go to the temple in Jerusalem, decides to build rival sanctuaries in Dan and Bethel.(13:25) Do not take counsel from your fears or be fooled by an imitation.(19:18) A man of God warns Jeroboam against false worship, prophesying of a future day when Josiah will destroy it.(22:17) What happened to the Ark of the Covenant? Could Shishak of Egypt have taken this treasure from the Jerusalem temple?(29:13) Elijah, an embodiment of great power, is a type of many prophets. All prophets are types of Christ. (31:49) Elijah seals the heavens and is fed by a raven. He goes to Zarephath and asks a widow woman for her barrel flour and jar of oil, promising they will never become empty during the famine.(40:30) Elijah raises the widow's son from the dead. Jesus duplicates the miracles of Elijah.(43:28) Obadiah, part of Ahab's court, saves 100 prophets from Queen Jezebel and also helps Elijah.(47:29) Obadiah and Elijah's “50” can be seen as part of a bigger picture, as members of a choral arrangement that were connected to the temple and the sacred drama in many ancient cultures.(52:37) Elijah challenges the prophets of Baal to call down fire from heaven. They fail.(57:14) At times the Lord will manifest miracles to show his might and prove that he is God. The Book of Mormon is that proof for us today.(1:03:40) The famine ends and Queen Jezebel seeks the life of Elijah. In his loneliness, Elijah experiences deep sadness, believing that the prophets are dead. At times, we may feel as Elijah did. Being with the Saints and remembering the truth of the gospel message can bolster our resilience.(1:11:44) Elijah's experience with the still small voice of the Lord.(1:18:17) Ahab, king of Israel, is attacked by the Syrian army. A prophet tells Ahab that Israel will win. Ahab later desires the vineyard of Naboth, who refuses to sell his land. Jezebel, Ahab’s wife, orchestrates a conspiracy to frame Naboth for blasphemy, and Ahab acquires the land through deceit. Elijah comes to inform Ahab that Ahab’s line will cease, that Jezebel will be eaten by dogs, and that Ahab’s blood will be licked up by dogs in the very spot where Naboth was killed. Time vindicates the prophets. → For more of Bryce Dunford’s podcast classes, click here. → Enroll in Institute → YouTube → Apple Podcasts → Spotify → Amazon Music → Facebook The post Ep 378 | 1 Kings 12-22, Come Follow Me 2026 (June 29-July 5) appeared first on LDS Scripture Teachings.

Welcome to episode 338 of the Löw Tide Böyz - A Swimrun Podcast! This week we are climbing back into the swimrun hot tub for a throwback mixtape, and we are pulling out a fan favorite. We are rolling the original gear talk on the Ark Vigg and Vigg Air, the suit Chris has loved since his first swimrun in 2020 and has not stopped talking about since. This one comes straight from the vault, originally Episode 188 from August 10, 2023. The crew starts with gear updates, Ark prototype goggles, new flip-flops, and Stasher bags as a solution for organizing electrolyte tabs, before getting into the full Vigg breakdown. We get into what makes the Vigg and Vigg Air work, the Yamamoto limestone neoprene, the glide skin coating, and the seal on the sleeveless Vigg Air that designer Daniel Sand and his team in Sweden spent so much time dialing in. We talk through who this suit fits best, why it makes more sense as a second suit than a first, the back venting, the pocket setup, and where the fit and sizing can get tricky depending on body type. Chris also reads an original poem he wrote about the Vigg, because eight months without talking about this suit was apparently too long to go without writing one. Final ratings, a Casco Bay tangent, and plenty of love for a suit that has earned its place in the quiver. Enjoy! ~~~ That's it for this week's show.

In this episode of The Brainstorm, Brett, Sam, and Nick explore the future of prediction markets, cutting-edge medical AI, and the surprising power of global events to reshape financialization. You'll discover how the World Cup has catapulted prediction markets into the spotlight, with volume trending towards over $100 billion annualized. We also uncover a revolutionary medical scanning device that promises to do high-definition ultrasound in a fraction of the cost and time, and break down the implications of accessible, frequent scans—tracking disease progression and enabling personalized health insights—while sparking debate on regulations, data privacy, and consumer bioscience.Key Points From This Episode:Prediction markets are seeing a huge surge in volume during the World Cup, driven partly by sports-betting restrictions in the U. S. and by new users exploring adjacent markets like crypto and Key Performance Indicators (KPI)/event-based contracts.Kalshi appears to be benefiting more than Polymarket in the current wave, with stronger U. S.-market exposure and regulatory positioning, while Polymarket's share has fallen and it's facing trust/marketing scrutiny.Midjourney's new medical scanning device sparked excitement and controversy because it could make frequent, lower-cost scans possible, potentially improving early detection and longitudinal health data, but also raising concerns about ambiguous findings and the tension between biohacking and traditional medical science.If you know ARK, you know we focus on long-term innovation. But that doesn't mean we ignore breaking news. Every day, we debate the latest developments in tech and markets.

Welcome to Day 2890 of Wisdom-Trek. Thank you for joining me. This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to Wisdom. Day 2890 – Wisdom Nuggets – Psalm 137:1-9 Daily Wisdom Wisdom-Trek Podcast Script - Day 2890 Welcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps! I am Guthrie Chamberlain, and we are on Day 2890 of our Trek. The Purpose of Wisdom-Trek is to create a legacy of wisdom, to seek out discernment and insights, and to boldly grow where few have chosen to grow before. The title for today's Wisdom-Trek is: Tears by the Rivers of Babylon – The Exile's Anthem of Defiant Remembrance In our previous episode on this grand, historical expedition, we stood on the absolute summit of Hebrew liturgy, exploring the magnificent, rhythmic crescendos of the Great Hallel, Psalm One Hundred Thirty-Six. Our voices joined the thunderous, ancient procession as we chanted the eternal, unyielding refrain: “His faithful love endures forever.” We celebrated the supreme Sovereign of the cosmic council, who skillfully forged the heavens, pinned down the chaotic primordial waters, and systematically slaughtered the giant rebel kings, Sihon and Og, to hand over the Promised Land as a permanent inheritance to His treasured people. We rested deeply in the comforting assurance that the God of heaven remembers us in our weakness, and fiercely pours out His fatherly compassion upon His servants. But today, my friends, as we step forward onto Day two thousand eight hundred ninety of our journey, we experience a sudden, violent, and deeply jarring shift in the landscape. We are entering into what is arguably the most heartbreaking, emotionally raw, and controversial poem in the entire Psalter: Psalm One Hundred Thirty-Seven, verses one through nine, in the New Living Translation. The triumphant, sunlit courts of Jerusalem have vanished. The glorious chords of the temple orchestra have fallen completely silent. Instead, we find ourselves sitting in the mud, weeping in the suffocating shadows of a hostile, foreign empire. The inheritance appears to be entirely lost, the holy city has been burned to ash, and the people of God are trapped inside the geographic epicenter of the cosmic rebellion. Let let us step onto this agonizing section of the trail, adjust our lenses to navigate the dark waters of sorrow, and listen to the defiant song of the exile. The first segment is: The Heavy Harps and the Cruel Taunts of Babel Psalm One Hundred Thirty-Seven: verses one, two, and three . Beside the rivers of Babylon, we sat and wept as we thought of Jerusalem. We put away our harps, hanging them on the branches of the poplar trees. For our captors demanded a song from us. Our tormentors demanded a joyful hymn: “Sing us one of those songs of Jerusalem!” The poem opens with an incredibly vivid, melancholic scene that captures the profound trauma of displacement. “Beside the rivers of Babylon, we sat and wept as we thought of Jerusalem. We put away our harps, hanging them on the branches of the poplar trees.” To fully comprehend the immense spiritual and psychological warfare embedded in these opening lines, we must view this geography through the profound lens of the Ancient Israelite divine council worldview, as masterfully taught by Doctor Michael S. Heiser. In the cosmic geography of the ancient world, Babylon was not just a powerful human political empire; it was the historical, and spiritual, womb of the cosmic rebellion. This was the territory of Babel, the exact site where humanity originally attempted to build an autonomous empire to make a name for themselves, resulting in Yahweh disinheriting the nations and placing them under the jurisdiction of lesser, rebel spiritual principalities—the fallen sons of God. To be violently dragged away from Judah, and forced to sit "beside the rivers of Babylon," meant that the Israelites were physically sitting within the occupied territory of hostile, rival elohim. The rivers of Babylon—the complex network of irrigation canals fed by the Tigris and Euphrates rivers—were symbols of the empire's economic might, and the apparent supremacy of their gods. The captives sat by these waters, completely crushed, and they wept. They were not just homesick; they were experiencing a profound theological crisis. Their temple was destroyed, the Ark of the Covenant was gone, and it appeared to the watching world that the rebel gods of Babylon had successfully triumphed over Yahweh. In their deep grief, they performed a symbolic act of architectural silence: they hung their beautiful, stringed harps upon the branches of the weeping poplar trees lining the canals. The music that had once filled the cosmic center of Mount Zion was intentionally shut down. The harps became dead weights, swaying in the foreign wind. The pain of this silence is violently exacerbated by the psychological cruelty of their captors in verse three: “For our captors demanded a song from us. Our tormentors demanded a joyful hymn: ‘Sing us one of those songs of Jerusalem!'” This was not a polite request for cultural exchange or musical entertainment. This was an act of aggressive, mocking spiritual intimidation. The Babylonian soldiers, acting under the dark inspiration of their territorial deities, wanted to humiliate the broken exiles. They wanted the Israelites to perform their sacred, liturgical temple hymns—the grand songs of Zion that celebrated Yahweh's absolute supremacy over the nations—as a circus act for the amusement of the conquerors. It was a cruel taunt, designed to force the captives to admit defeat, to mock the apparent helplessness of their God, and to pressure them into assimilating into the pagan culture of the empire. The enemy wanted to weaponize their own sacred music against their souls. The second segment is: The Oath of the Unbending Tongue Psalm One Hundred Thirty-Seven: verses four, five, and six. But how can we sing the songs of the Lord while in a pagan land? If I forget you, Jerusalem, let my right hand forget how to play the harp. May my tongue stick to the roof of my mouth if I fail to remember you, if I don't make Jerusalem my greatest joy. The text responds to the cruel mockery of the captors with a fierce, defiant, and completely unyielding refusal. “But how can we sing the songs of the Lord while in a pagan land?” To the ancient Israelite, singing the shir Yahweh—the song of the Lord—was an act of high, localized covenant sanctuary. The sacred songs were designed exclusively for the cosmic mountain, the holy space where the presence of the Creator uniquely dwelt. To perform these holy liturgies for the amusement of a pagan audience, within the defiled, demonically supervised territory of Babylon, would be an act of supreme spiritual treason. It would be an acknowledgment that Yahweh could be domesticated, transformed into a minor, defeated deity who exists merely to entertain the proxies of the rebel council. The exiles draw a hard, non-negotiable line in the mud. They choose silence over sacrilege. The psalmist then seals this refusal by swearing a terrifying, double-sided personal oath of absolute, multi-generational remembrance in verses five and six. “If I forget you, Jerusalem, let my right hand forget how to play the harp. May my tongue stick to the roof of my mouth if I fail to remember you, if I don't make Jerusalem my greatest joy.” The writer is a temple musician, an artist whose entire livelihood, status, and identity depend on his right hand's ability to skillfully pluck the strings of the harp, and his tongue's ability to articulate the beautiful melodies of the liturgy. He deliberately invokes a self-malediction, a curse upon his own biological tools of expression. He says, “If I ever allow the comfort, the wealth, and the seductive luxury of Babylon to make me complacent, if I ever forget the cosmic center of Mount Zion, if I ever assimilate into this pagan empire and lose my distinct identity, then let my right hand instantly wither, and lose its muscle memory! Let my tongue become paralyzed, permanently sticking to the roof of my mouth, so that I can never sing another note of any song for the rest of my life!” This is a magnificent display of spiritual resilience. The psalmist realizes that the ultimate danger of the exile is not physical death, but cultural and spiritual amnesia. Babylon wants the exiles to forget who they are, to forget the covenant, and to forget the cosmic blueprint of the Creator. By making Jerusalem his “greatest joy”—even while it sits in smoldering ruins—the exile is performing an act of fierce, defiant loyalty. He anchors his mind to the unshakeable reality of God's future restoration, refusing to let the temporary success of the rebel principalities redefine the true focus of his...

When you are doing something for God, the way you do it is more important than getting the job done. You do it His way because the instruction of the Lord is holy. When David first tried to bring the Ark of the Covenant to Jerusalem, it was not according to God's instruction and resulted in the death of Uzza for touching the Ark. When David put God first and followed His instructions and preparations and offered sacrifices, fear was replaced by joy, and the Ark was brought into Jerusalem.

Support the show: www.patreon.com/theconspiracypodcastThe search for Noah's Ark doesn't end with the story — it ends in the mountains of eastern Turkey. In Part 2, Eric, Jorge, and Sean pick up where they left off and dive into the physical evidence: a 515-foot boat-shaped formation sitting 18 miles south of Mount Ararat, ground-penetrating radar scans revealing angular structures 20 feet underground, and 2024 soil tests showing organic matter nearly three times higher inside the formation than outside. They cover Ron Wyatt — the nurse anesthetist who spent 22 years and 25 trips convinced he'd found the ark — and the two scientists who came after him and ended up on opposite sides. The guys also get into the Black Sea catastrophe theory, the alternative mountain candidates, and all six major theories on what the ark actually was — or wasn't. Core drilling is planned for 2025 and 2026, and the three hosts agree: whatever the results show, there's no question something happened. The flood was real. Whether the boat is still out there is another story.
This episode of West of Knowhere covers a range of odd and headline-grabbing stories: the brief reopening (and re-closing) of the Strait of Hormuz, the Lincoln Memorial reflecting pool renovation gone awry, a UFC fighter's offensive White House remark about Michelle Obama, and Hollywood mining Reddit for horror ideas like Backrooms. Also discussed: an 85-year-old caught speeding, Noah's Ark attraction insurance disputes, two former rival nuns who married, the Iran vs. Egypt Pride World Cup match in Seattle, and an Am I the Asshole segment about a dinner-recipe text.

John shares his testimony, his call to ministry, and the spiritual experiences that led him to write and publish his research.The discussion centers on John's claim that scientific dating, biblical chronology, and historical events reveal repeating patterns of divine control throughout Scripture and world history. He explains how Daniel's 70 weeks, the movement of the Ark of the Covenant, the crossing of the Jordan River, the destruction of Herod's Temple, and Jesus' death and resurrection all point to the reality that God is sovereign over human events.John also shares how he uses this material for evangelism, especially with skeptics, atheists, agnostics, and those searching for evidence that the Bible is true.Topics CoveredJohn Zachary's testimony and call to ministryThe spiritual experiences that led him to write his bookScientific data and biblical prophecyDaniel's 70 weeks and the MessiahThe significance of 14,000-day patterns in biblical chronologyThe Ark of the Covenant, Moses, Joshua, and the crossing of the JordanThe destruction of Solomon's Temple and Herod's TempleEzekiel's Temple visionJesus as the fulfillment of the sacrificial systemWhy the Old Testament sacrifices pointed forward to ChristThe use of biblical research in evangelismIsrael, Jerusalem, and prophetic fulfillmentThe connection between Luke 21, Matthew 24, and end-time prophecyKey TakeawaysJohn Zachary argues that the Bible contains precise chronological markers that reveal God's hand in human history. He highlights a recurring 14,000-day control period that he says appears in multiple biblical and historical events.A central point of the episode is that Jesus' sacrificial death and resurrection fulfilled what the Old Testament sacrificial system only symbolized. John connects this to the destruction of Herod's Temple, explaining that the old system was no longer needed after Christ's finished work.The conversation also emphasizes evangelism. John explains that his research is not meant to create arguments but to present evidence that can awaken people to the truth of Scripture and the reality of eternal life through Jesus Christ.Featured Quote“Human events are under divine control to reveal what is true of the spiritual realm.” — John ZacharyScripture References MentionedDaniel 9Daniel's 70 weeksNumbers 10:11Joshua 4:19Revelation 11Hebrews 10John 14:6Luke 21Matthew 24Mark 13Ezekiel 40:1Guest ResourceLearn more about John Zachary and his book: The Science Behind the Story of JesusWebsite mentioned in the episode: authorjohnzacary.comClosing Call to ActionGet your copy of The Science Behind the Story of Jesus by John Zachary and discover how biblical prophecy, historical events, and scientific dating point to the truth of Jesus Christ.KeywordsJohn Zachary, The Science Behind the Story of Jesus, biblical prophecy, Daniel 70 weeks, Christian apologetics, Bible science, NASA data Bible prophecy, Jesus Christ, biblical chronology, end times prophecy, Kingdom Crossroads, TS Wright, Israel prophecy, Herod's Temple, Ark of the Covenant, biblical history, Christian evangelism
What if the three most famous Psalms in the Bible are actually one story, and that story was pointing to Jesus all along?In this episode, we dive into a Bible study on Psalms 22, 23, and 24. These psalms were written by King David nearly a thousand years before the New Testament, and biblical scholars refer to them as the "Shepherd's Trilogy." Hidden within these psalms is a stunning prophetic timeline of the death, resurrection, and ascension of Jesus. In our Psalms 22-24 Bible study, you'll learn:[06:26] Psalm 22 Crucifixion Prophecy: How David described Jesus on the cross in vivid detail, down to the pierced hands and divided garments, nearly 1000 years before the crucifixion[08:22] A Lesson from King David: How to feel the full weight of your pain and bring it to God the way David did to experience an unexpected peace and lightness[12:19] The "Bookend" Revelation: The jaw-dropping message Jesus sent to the Jewish crowd from the cross by quoting both the first and last lines of Psalm 22[19:25] The Real Meaning of Psalm 23: Why the rest, restoration, and “quiet waters” of this beloved passage only make sense through the lens of Christ's suffering[27:42] Psalm 24 and Palm Sunday: How this triumphant praise Psalm connects to the Ark of the Covenant, Handel's Messiah, and Jesus' final entry into Jerusalem on Palm SundayPsalms Show Notes:Psalms RoadmapPsalms Playlist on Apple MusicPsalms Playlist on SpotifyPsalm 8 (Hallé) by Phil WickhamACTS Prayer GuidePsalms Prayer List - Coming Soon!Group Discussion Questions for Psalms 22-24:[08:22] David vented his pain to God and then pivoted to praise, not because the suffering stopped, but because he transferred the burden. Is there something you are carrying right now that you haven't fully laid at God's feet?[20:27] God put David through “shepherd school,” Moses through the wilderness, and Esther through the royal court. In your life, what season or "school" has God put you through, and what do you think He was preparing you for?[23:16] People and sheep have a lot in common. What characteristics of a sheep can you most see in yourself: defenseless, needing constant care and to be led to (spiritual) food and water, resisting rest, or fearfulness.Contact Bible Book Club!Social: Instagram or FacebookWebsite: Bible Book ClubReview Us: Apple Podcast or SpotifyJoin the Fun: DONATE or Buy merchThis episode is part of our ongoing Bible Book Club series, starting with Genesis and journeying all the way through the Bible.

Two swords forged in the land of the Philistines. Two kings. One throne. And a literary motif so intricate that scholars have been misreading it for generations.The death of King Saul at Mount Gilboa is one of the most dramatic moments in the Old Testament. But what most people don't realize is that a misinterpretation of the archaeological evidence at Beth Shean has distorted how scholars understand what happened to Saul's body, his armor, and his sword after his death. The text doesn't say what we've been told it says. And once that mistake is corrected, an entire narrative thread running through 1 Samuel 13 to 31 suddenly comes into focus.In this episode of The Dig In Podcast, Johnny Ova sits down with Dr. Chris McKinny, Associate Professor of Biblical Archaeology at Lipscomb University's Lanier Center for Archaeology, senior staff archaeologist at the Tel Burna project in Israel, co-host of the Biblical World Podcast, and on-screen host of the upcoming feature documentary Legends of the Lost Ark. Dr. McKinny has spent over a decade excavating in the land of the Bible and his research on the death of Saul reveals one of the most sophisticated literary devices in all of ancient literature.Together we explore the full arc of David's rise and Saul's fall, including:- Why the only two swords in Israel belonged to Saul and Jonathan and what that means for the narrative- How Goliath's sword becomes a story device that tracks David's entire journey from shepherd to king- The real reason Saul's armor and head were not taken to Beth Shean but to the land of the Philistines- What archaeologists got wrong about Beth Shean and the Philistine temple identification- How the sword motif connects to the Ark of the Covenant as part of a larger literary structure- Why David never used the sword against Saul and how the narrative builds that restraint into the climax- The significance of Nob, the tabernacle, and the sword of Goliath waiting for David- How the geography of the Jezreel Valley, the Shephelah, and the coastal plain shaped the entire conflict- What Judah the Hammer's sword in 1 Maccabees reveals about how ancient readers understood this motif- How this corrected reading elevates the biblical authors as world-class storytellersThis conversation takes us into the archaeology, the geography, and the literary genius of the biblical authors in ways most readers have never considered.Check out Dr. Chris McKinny's work:Legends of the Lost Ark (in theaters April 12, 14, and 15, 2026): https://www.legendsofthelostark.com/Biblical World Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/biblical-world/id1566455453Stay connected with The Dig In Podcast and Subscribe.Website: https://johnnyova.com/Subscribe on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@thejohnnyovaGet a copy of Johnny's latest book about the book of Revelation: https://a.co/d/02v5yH7A

June 22, 2026Today's Reading: Micah 7:18-20Daily Lectionary: Proverbs 25:1-22; Prov: 26:1-28; John 19:23-42“He will again have compassion on us; he will tread our iniquities underfoot. You will cast all our sins into the depths of the sea.” (Micah 7:19)In the Name + of Jesus. Amen.Satan's head is crushed by the bruised heel of Christ. That is where your iniquities lie - crushed into dust under the feet of a victorious God. Rotting in the belly of a great fish in the depths of the sea - that is where your sins are. The compassion of our God would put His Son in our place. We should be dead in the grave, punished for our sins. We should be dead in the belly of a fish. But we are not. Instead, Christ takes our iniquities and sins and rids us of them, taking them upon Himself. In His death, he destroys death, and in His rising from the dead, he brings you with Him. The wages of sin is death, but you have been brought into new life. Death cannot hold Christ, and it cannot hold you. God will again have compassion on us. He takes on what we cannot carry. He defeated sin, death, and the devil. He, the God of life and light, shines forth into the darkness of sin and death and cannot be overcome. Those things that seek to crush and drown us have come undone. In Holy Baptism, water, which would kill us, unites with God's Word to make us alive. Old Adam is drowned and dies, and the New Man is dragged out of the water, leaving the wages of sin to sink to the depths of the sea.God looks upon sinners with compassion and love. We deserve to be crushed under His feet and thrown into the sea because we are sinful by nature. But instead, our sin and iniquity, which we have never lived without (in sin did my mother conceive me), is now dust and sand, cast into the sea. God looks upon us in love. He looks upon us and sees His Son. He does not consider your sin or iniquity. He forgives you and renews you. He is steadfast and immovable. He has made you His own, and He will not forget you. In the Name + of Jesus. Amen.In a wat'ry grave are buried all our sins that Jesus carried: Christ, the Ark of Life, has ferried us across death's raging flood. (LSB 597:3)Deac. Emma Heinz, registrar for Higher Things.
The Great Rosary Campaign is an ongoing prayer and penance campaign for the conversion and strengthening of both Catholic and non-Catholic leaders.For this "Hollywood Edition" of the Great Rosary Campaign, this week let us pray for the conversion of one of the world's most successful Directors, James Cameron, famous for blockbusters such as "Titanic" and "Avatar." Out of love for his soul, let us pray that comes to the fullness of truth in the Catholic Church, and that his gifts may be fully put in the service of Christ.The SUGGESTED PENANCE this week is a Holy Hour before the Blessed Sacrament, the Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity of Our Lord in the Holy Eucharist.In these dark times, we must fight evil with the most powerful weapons we have. The Rosary is foremost among them. Join the Great Rosary Campaign today at: www.GreatRosaryCampaign.com.Countless Saints and Popes have told us that the Rosary is incredibly powerful for three things in particular:Keeping the FaithMoral renovationConversions of non-CatholicsThe Great Rosary Campaign is also based on several biblical themes and principles.First, PRAY FOR OUR BRETHREN. “Pray for one another…” (Jas. 5:16). “So then, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all men, and especially to those who are of the household of faith" (Gal. 6:10).Second, PRAY FOR OUR ENEMIES. “You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.' But I say to you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, so that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven" (Matt. 5:43-44).Third, PRAY FOR ALL MEN, PARTICULARLY LEADERS AND THOSE IN AUTHORITY. “First of all, then, I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all men, or kings and all who are in high positions…” (1 Tim. 2:1-2).Fourth, GOING INTO BATTLE WITH THE ARK. When the ancient Israelites came to Jericho, God didn't tell them to besiege the city. Instead, He told them to march around it with the Ark of the Covenant seven times, and on the seventh the walls would fall. We will now "march" in prayer for seven days with the New Ark of the Covenant, Our Lady, through the Rosary. We pray in hope that on the seventh day, a day especially devoted to Our Lady (Saturday), extraordinary graces of conversion will be given to those we are praying for.Fifth, EVANGELISM AND APOLOGETICS = LOVE + ARGUMENTS + PRAYER + PENANCE. Ultimately it is God who reveals Himself to a soul, and empowers them to say "yes" to Him by His grace. He chooses to use us, but He does not have to. We must remember that as we evangelize and defend the Faith, our arguments will be fruitless unless informed by love (charity), and reinforced by prayer and penance.Sixth, RETURNING GOOD FOR EVIL. “Do not return evil for evil, or reviling for reviling; but on the contrary bless, for to this you have been called, that you may obtain a blessing" (1 Pet. 3:9).Sign up to take part in the Great Rosary Campaign today: www.GreatRosaryCampaign.com
What does it mean to live in the shadow of the Almighty? In this message from Psalm 91:1, we explore the powerful connection between the secret place and the shadow of God. Drawing from the imagery of the Ark of the Covenant, the overshadowing wings of the cherubim, and the simple illustration of a tree's shade, this sermon reveals that God's shadow is not merely a place of protection—it is the privilege of living near His presence. Discover why the safest place in life is not a location, but a relationship with God.

https://www.hopethroughhim.org/ - Hope Through Him (Honduras)https://square.link/u/UHRU92rp - Donate HereToday's bonus reading takes us to Psalm 132, one of the Songs of Ascent, where the heart of God's people longs for His dwelling place to be restored to the center. The psalm remembers David, the promise made to his line, and the Ark of the Covenant—the place connected to God's throne, His footstool, and His presence among His people.Psalm 132 reminds us that worship is not about sacred furniture, but about longing for God Himself to be in the middle of everything. The line of David points us forward to Jesus, the promised King and true dwelling of God with His people. So today, read Psalm 132 with a worshiping heart: ask the Lord to take His rightful place at the center, and let every promise lead you to Christ.

What does a Lion King–level director really think about AI “slop,” streaming wars and whether machines can ever tell great stories? On this episode of the AI XR Podcast, Charlie Fink and Ted Schilowitz talk with Rob Minkoff, director of The Lion King, Stuart Little, The Haunted Mansion, Forbidden Kingdom and Paws of Fury, about the future of filmmaking as AI, streaming consolidation and new tools reshape the business.Rob shares how he watched Netflix “eat Hollywood” by doing streaming better than the legacy studios, why Netflix walking away from Warner Bros. and letting Paramount overpay is bad news for creators, and what fewer buyers means for directors and writers trying to sell original work. He explains why he sees AI tools like Seed Dance as potentially both iceberg and Noah's Ark, and why he believes the average will rise but the cream will still rise higher: tools may let anyone make competent images, but audiences will still chase the one-in-a-thousand voices that have something genuinely new and human to say.In XR News You Should Know, the host cover Anthropic's standoff with the Pentagon over using large, unstable models for high-stakes military decisions, Netflix walking away from a Warner Bros. deal and collecting a breakup fee while Paramount overpays, streaming brand confusion around HBO/Max and Paramount+, VITURE's new raise and its patent fight with XREAL over “birdbath” smart-glasses optics, and Google's Gemini gaining multi-step action capabilities on Samsung and Pixel phones before Apple's Siri catches up.The conversation digs into whether AI will really make feature films cheaper and more common, or just flood social feeds with short-form “AI slop.” Rob compares AI tools to word processors and home recording studios: they are powerful, but they don't turn you into Bruce Springsteen or Steven Spielberg. He argues that empathy, taste and genuinely fresh perspective will remain the differentiators, and that audiences will quickly tune out work that feels derivative, even if it looks slick. He also raises a bigger question: if AI drives productivity to the point where work is optional for many people, what happens to purpose, competition and the human psyche?Key Moments01:16 – Anthropic vs. the Pentagon and why unstable AI systems may never meet military safety standards02:42 – Netflix exits the Warner Bros. deal, collects a breakup fee and leaves Paramount holding the bag05:31 – HBO, Max, Paramount+ branding confusion and what happens to these streaming labels06:00 – VITURE's $100M raise, XREAL patent lawsuits and the simple science behind “birdbath” smart glasses07:31 – Why Miami is becoming a new tech and defense hub and what that signals about America's “neighborhood”10:00 – Seed Dance 2.0, Hollywood's deepfake panic and the “ship first, apologize later” strategy15:16 – Rob joins: 34 years in film, Netflix “eating Hollywood” and what consolidation means for creators19:18 – Seed Dance, stolen IP and whether AI tools are an iceberg or Noah's Ark for filmmakers24:39 – Can AI become a true “prophet,” or can it only emulate empathy and taste?30:57 – Will AI make many more animated movies or just flood the world with average content?37:32 – If AI does most of the work, what's left for humans—and can entertainment absorb all that free time?This episode is a grounded, filmmaker's view of where AI fits: powerful tools, real risks, but no substitute for a human vision that cuts through the noise. Rob's perspective is invaluable if you're trying to understand what will actually matter in a world where everyone can generate “good enough” images on demand.This episode is brought to you by Zappar, creators of Mattercraft, the leading visual development environment for building immersive 3D web experiences for mobile, headsets and desktop.

When David stepped into the Valley of Elah, he wasn't just facing a 9-foot giant named Goliath; he was facing an army of doubts, armor he couldn't wear, and brothers who didn't believe in him. If you are facing massive "giants" or hiding in the "caves" of your own life right now, David's journey from shepherd boy to anointed king provides the ultimate blueprint for victory. Summary: In this episode, we chart the epic rise of King David across 1 Samuel 17 through 2 Samuel 10. We bypass the standard Sunday School narratives to explore the deep spiritual grit, covenant loyalty, and absolute humility required to step into our divine inheritance. David vs. Goliath: We analyze the stark contrast between Saul's heavy, untried armor and David's simple sling and stones. We explore why true power lies in trusting the name of the Lord rather than relying on human architecture. The Wilderness of Jealousy: We trace David's years running from a paranoid King Saul. We study David's remarkable restraint in the cave of En-gedi, where he refuses to "stretch forth his hand" against the Lord's anointed, teaching us how to handle unjust leadership and wait on God's timetable. Abigail the Peacemaker: We dive into 1 Samuel 25 to study Abigail, a brilliant woman who stepped between her foolish husband Nabal and a vengeful David. She serves as a profound type of Jesus Christ, taking the blame upon herself to prevent bloodshed and restore peace. Steadying the Ark: We confront the tragic story of Uzzah in 2 Samuel 6. We break down the spiritual danger of trying to "steady the ark"—or attempting to correct God's kingdom using human methods—and contrast it with the pure joy David felt dancing before the Lord as the Ark entered Jerusalem. Establishing the Kingdom: We finish with a united Israel, looking at how David chose to heal generational trauma by showing kindness to Mephibosheth (Jonathan's son) instead of wiping out his political rivals. Call-to-Action: Saul relied on his physical stature, but David relied on the Lord of Hosts. What is the "heavy armor" of the world that you need to take off so you can fight your battles God's way?

He then speaks with Frank Wright about the ARK conference, media-managed liberal democracy, and why Wright supports the Restore party and Rupert Lowe as an integrity-based response to mass migration, demographic change, economic dependency, and cultural decline, advocating repatriation, higher birth rates, and pro-family policy. Robinson later interviews Chase Geiser on launching his own network after Infowars' shutdown following Alex Jones' $1.2B default defamation judgment, and they discuss the NDAA, U.S.-Israel partnership concerns, the petrodollar, and public fatigue with propaganda. Robinson closes by responding to viewer comments on patriarchy, culture, and media, and ends with prayer.
In this episode of The Brainstorm, Brett, Sam, and Nick explore how SpaceX's initial public offering (IPO) could revolutionize the space and satellite industries, with Elon Musk's trillion-dollar vision focusing on Starlink satellites and AI orbital data centers. They discuss the intricate financial strategies that could propel SpaceX to $400 billion in revenue, and how Tesla's Robotaxis signal a massive investment opportunity in space-enabled infrastructure. Finally, they breakdown the news of Fox acquiring Roku, unlocking synergies in the connected television era, and why understanding these shifts is crucial for future tech dominance.Key Points From This Episode:The true value of space-related ventures lies in leveraging cash infusion to accelerate future technological scaling, emphasizing long-term growth over short-term profitability.Transformative tech companies' valuations depend on bundling consumer relationships with advanced infrastructure, creating a powerful moat that ensures future user lock-in.Developments in AI are democratizing capabilities, shifting the focus from restriction to adaptation, highlighting the unstoppable nature of open-source progress.If you know ARK, you know we focus on long-term innovation.

We were delighted to welcome Seth Holehouse, host of the popular podcast Man in America, to The Breggin Hour. With over a million listeners dedicated to uncovering the forces reshaping our nation, Seth brings a thoughtful, big-picture perspective that resonates deeply with our own work exposing global predators. This wide-ranging conversation touched on the Epstein files, MKUltra, satanic ritual abuse, compromised elites, spiritual warfare, and the practical steps each of us can take to live freely in an upside-down world. As always, we encourage you to listen to the full episode for the complete exchange. The Epstein Files: A Crack in the Veil Seth first encountered the Epstein story years ago amid early discussions of Pizzagate, the Podestas, disturbing artwork, and high-profile figures like Bill Clinton. The more recent document releases struck a chord, especially with younger people encountering the horror on TikTok. “There are a lot of people that… look around and just have this sense that something's just not right with the world.” These awakening moments—whether from 9/11, COVID, or the Epstein revelations—pierce the illusions. Seth urges us to step back and take the broader view rather than getting lost in distractions or narrow slices of the truth. This aligns with our own experience: the more we step back and examine the complete picture, the clearer the patterns of predation become. MKUltra, Survivor Testimony, and the Pyramid of Control Seth has conducted powerful interviews with survivors of MKUltra and satanic ritual abuse, including a dedicated series exploring these dark networks. These accounts reveal how compromise, blackmail, and ritual abuse serve as tools to control those who rise in elite circles. He draws on important works, including Fritz Springmeier's Bloodlines of the Illuminati, Jim Marrs ‘ Behold a Pale Horse, and especially Andrzej Łobaczewski's Political Ponerology. Łobaczewski, a Polish psychiatrist who survived both Nazi and Communist regimes, studied how pathological personalities—particularly psychopaths and character-disordered individuals lacking conscience and empathy—infiltrate and corrupt institutions. This leads to pathocracy, or “rule by evil,” where a small minority of disordered people seize power, distort ideologies, and promote their own kind. The process, called ponerization, gradually transforms normal groups into pathological ones through infiltration, blackmail, and twisted moral justifications (paramoralisms). Visible politicians, celebrities, and CEOs often serve as puppets in a modern Allegory of the Cave, while real power lies higher up within protected bloodlines and networks. Compromise—frequently involving the abuse of children—ensures loyalty. This framework helps explain the spread of evil at the highest levels and why left-right political theater so often distracts from deeper systemic pathology. As Seth's survivor interviews illustrate, these mechanisms are not abstract—they destroy lives and souls. Facing this kind of evil is not easy. Ginger noted how confronting the Epstein files broke her heart and made it difficult to continue looking for a time. Peter connected it to his lifelong reform work protecting children and the vulnerable from institutional and psychiatric abuse. Spiritual Warfare and the Choice Before Us We see these issues as fundamentally spiritual—a testing ground where individuals and societies must choose virtue, love, and truth over base appetites and predation. Seth, raised in a Christian home with an emphasis on simply being a good person, describes a predator-prey dynamic operating at elite levels. Peter and I shared reflections on our partnership, including the challenges of Peter's stroke and his remarkable recovery through hyperbaric oxygen therapy and other supports. After decades together fighting for patients and human freedom, we know the sustaining power of love and mutual commitment in the face of darkness. Spotting Controlled Opposition and Questioning Authority Seth offered practical wisdom for navigating today's information landscape—wisdom we have learned through hard experience: Heavy focus on left-right political divides often serves the control grid by keeping people distracted and divided. Beware influencers who shut down discussion of “forbidden” topics or demand unquestioning loyalty. Prioritize sources with evidence and receipts rather than vague “secret intel.” Maintain an open mind and even question your own assumptions. “It's my moral duty to question everything… even to question my own beliefs.” This spirit of honest inquiry is essential. As we have seen time and again, real reform begins with refusing to accept surface narratives and insisting on truth. Prep Like Noah: Returning to Human Living Living near a major population center, Seth speaks from experience about preparedness—not driven by fear, but by a return to traditional, responsible ways of life. His forthcoming book Prep Like Noah and the new private community The Ark (buildthearc.com) focus on self-reliance in food, energy, homeschooling, and community. The coming “flood” may involve digital IDs, surveillance, engineered shortages, and expanding tyranny. By reclaiming control over the essentials of life, we become less vulnerable. Like Noah, we build what we can control and allow pathological systems to collapse under the weight of their own evil, incompetence, and infighting.

Watch on YouTube Join Shane and Makayla of 11th Hour Worship as they sit down with Carson Bruce on The Worship Keys Podcast for a conversation that goes way beyond music. From a calling that started in high school to a John the Baptist "prepare the way" mission, Shane and Makayla open up about hiddenness, character, and obedience as the real foundation of worship leading. They dig into what it means to steward God's presence in corporate worship, why offstage devotion matters most, and how to leave room for genuine flow. Bob Sorge's Ark of the Covenant analogy gives the conversation serious weight, and they get refreshingly practical about Sunday service constraints and training leaders to hear God. The episode wraps with worship lyrics that bring everything back to the feet of Jesus.

PATREONBefore the Bible, before Genesis, before any written scripture as we know it — there was the flood. Eric, Sean, and Jorge dive into one of the oldest, most widespread, and most hotly debated stories in human history: Noah's Ark.Did a catastrophic flood actually destroy an ancient civilization? The evidence is hard to ignore. 217 distinct cultures across six continents — from the ancient Sumerians to the Aztecs to Aboriginal Australians — all independently carry a version of the same story: a great flood, a righteous man, a massive boat, and a world reborn. That's not a coincidence. That's a memory.In Part 1, the guys trace the flood narrative from its oldest known origins in ancient Mesopotamia — including the Sumerian tale of Ziusudra, the Akkadian story of Atrahasis, and the Epic of Gilgamesh — and show how these accounts predate the Biblical story of Noah by centuries, sharing nearly identical details beat for beat. They break down the Genesis account in full: the dimensions of the ark (spoiler: it's the size of a football field and a half), the 150 days on water, the raven, the dove, and the olive branch. They also dig into what the Bible actually says about where the ark landed — and why "the Mountains of Ararat" is far more complicated than you've been told.Then they get into the physical search: a French explorer who pulled hand-worked wood from a glacier 13,000 feet up a Turkish mountain, an Apollo 15 astronaut who said finding Noah's Ark was harder than walking on the moon, and the boat-shaped formation in eastern Turkey that researchers are actively scanning with ground-penetrating radar right now.Did a regional catastrophe get retold across thousands of years and hundreds of cultures into the story of one man and one boat? Or is there something more to it? Part 2 drops next week.Follow us on Patreon at patreon.com/theconspiracypodcast for bonus content and to join the Discord.
In this episode of Prove All Things, Jeff and Mike are joined by AJ Sanchez to discuss Noah's Ark, worldwide flood traditions, geological evidence, and the Durupinar site in Turkey. AJ argues that many ancient cultures preserve flood accounts that closely resemble the biblical record, and he challenges listeners to consider whether the evidence points back to a real historical event. This episode lays the foundation for a follow-up discussion focused more directly on the Durupinar site and the search for Noah's Ark.
Can someone be forgiven if they never apologize? What is the unforgivable sin? And did Noah's Flood really happen? In this episode of LIVE FREE, Pastors Carlos Erazo and Paul Cunningham are joined by New Testament scholar and apologist Dr. Jeremiah Johnston as they explore biblical forgiveness, the danger of bitterness, the true meaning of the unforgivable sin, and whether Noah's Ark and the Flood can be trusted as real history. Drawing from Scripture, archaeology, ancient civilizations, and the teachings of Jesus, they examine the evidence and explain why these topics still matter today. Most importantly, this episode points us to the heart of the Gospel: while the Flood could not remove sin, Jesus can give us a new heart. In this episode: • Can you forgive someone who never apologizes? • What is the unforgivable sin? • Did Noah's Flood really happen? • Did the Bible copy flood stories from other cultures? • Have researchers found Noah's Ark? • Why Noah's story ultimately points to Jesus What if the hardest questions about forgiveness, judgment, and Noah's Ark all point to the same answer—Jesus? Stand firm. Think biblically. Live free.

Correction Without Condemnation by Autumn Dickson David is one of our center characters this week as he rises to the throne and protects Israel. There are a lot famous stories this week, including the famous story of David and Goliath. However, I want to talk about a lesser studied portion of the Old Testament. It's a relatively tiny detail, but it can teach us a lot. David has conquered Jerusalem and brought the Ark of the Covenant there. After all the celebration, David is sitting in his palace and it occurs to him that the Lord doesn't have a proper place of worship. David is living in a house of cedar, but the Lord only has a tent. David feels a desire to correct this and approaches Nathan about it. Nathan approves and tells David to do what his heart desires; the Lord is with him. Later on, the Lord corrects Nathan. 2 Samuel 7:12-13 12 And when thy days be fulfilled, and thou shalt sleep with thy fathers, I will set up thy seed after thee, which shall proceed out of thy bowels, and I will establish his kingdom. 13 He shall build an house for my name, and I will establish the throne of his kingdom for ever. So interestingly enough, the Lord disagreed. That night, the Lord sends a revelation to Nathan. David will not build the temple; his son will. David is associated with war, and the Lord approved much of that conquest. However, from a symbolic and theological standpoint, the temple is associated with peace and rest. Solomon's reign was associated with rest, and so he was the one to build the temple. Nathan passes the message on to David, and David accepts this answer from the Lord. Perhaps this doesn't seem like that big of a deal in comparison to other scripture that we're reading this week, but that's actually partially my point. Making a decision all on your own and then being corrected by the Lord doesn't have to be that big of a deal. Let's delve in a tad deeper. Sometimes we get really caught up in making sure we're following the Lord. The problem isn't wanting to follow the Lord; the problem comes when we make it a problem. There are two fears that we can often run into in regards to revelation: Fear one. We don't want to do wrong by the Lord and get in trouble. I'm not 100% where this fear comes from…probably Satan? The Lord tells us over and over and over that He loves us and wants us to try and act. Yet despite His assurances, we get nervous about doing things wrong. As far as I can tell, the Lord wasn't angry with David or Nathan for getting excited about building a house for Him. I would be shocked if the Lord was anything less than beaming over two of His sons trying to worship Him. That didn't mean it was the right direction, but the Lord wasn't mad about it. The Lord wants us to act and move forward and do good things of our own free will. He will course correct as necessary. Which leads me to my next point. Fear two. Even if the Lord isn't angry, we don't want to end up in the wrong direction. We're often afraid to move forward without the explicit green light from the Lord. We don't want to take the wrong steps. When we were looking to get a house, I was really worried about making the wrong decision. I was praying about it and praying about it and praying about it. Conner didn't. I had a hard time wanting to move forward without the Lord's approval, but he approached the situation very differently. He weighed the pros and cons and went over our finances. He made the best decision he could with the information he had. And that was it. I don't think he prayed about it even once. It used to worry me. I wanted him to seek out the Lord's will more often than I thought he was, but I had an experience with him that shifted my perspective. We were looking at getting a car years and years ago. We stopped to look at this van on our way to a family dinner. I stayed in the car while he went and looked at the van. When he climbed back in, I asked if we were buying it. He answered in the negative. I asked him what was wrong with it (he's worked as a mechanic previously), and he told me that he didn't see anything that was wrong with it. When I asked him why we weren't buying it, he replied, “I had a bad feeling about it.” Conner didn't necessarily wait for green lights, but he listened to red lights when they came along as needed. That was the first step in a journey that changed how I approach revelation. I no longer feel held back by fear. I'm not afraid of the Lord being mad. I recognize that the Lord wants me to be wise like Him, and that requires practicing my decision-making skills like Him. He knows that allowing me to make decisions also means that I'm going to make mistakes, but He's not worried about that. Not to mention, He's happy to course correct as necessary. I make a decision that I truly want and think is best, and I trust Him to speak to me if I'm wrong. That's how I pictured the context of this particular conversation between David and Nathan. They were rejoicing and ready to worship the Lord. They were purposefully thinking of Him and trying to do good works without being directly asked. Then the Lord simply corrected them as needed. We can move forward in faith and excitement and trust the Lord to close the door or correct us if it's not the right path. There is no reason to be afraid. I testify that the Lord wants us to make decisions and become wise like Him. There is no other way to do this except to practice. I also testify that He is powerful and knows how to speak with us. He doesn't give us our agency so that He can condemn us when we make mistakes. He paid for those mistakes and stands ready to help us along. He knows how to speak to you if you're trying to listen. Trust that He can lead you along. Be excited about the decisions before you; the Lord can turn them all for your good when you're seeking to worship Him.

The Great Rosary Campaign is an ongoing prayer and penance campaign for the conversion and strengthening of both Catholic and non-Catholic leaders.For this "Hollywood Edition" of the Great Rosary Campaign, let us pray for the conversion of one of the world's greatest film composers: Hans Zimmer. Whether it be "Prince of Egypt," "Gladiator," or Batman, Zimmer has written some of the world's favorite music. In gratitude for his work, and out of love for his soul, let us pray that comes to the fullness of truth in the Catholic Church, and that his gifts may be fully put in the service of Christ.The SUGGESTED PENANCE this week is a Holy Hour before the Blessed Sacrament, the Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity of Our Lord in the Holy Eucharist.In these dark times, we must fight evil with the most powerful weapons we have. The Rosary is foremost among them. Join the Great Rosary Campaign today at: www.GreatRosaryCampaign.com.Countless Saints and Popes have told us that the Rosary is incredibly powerful for three things in particular:Keeping the FaithMoral renovationConversions of non-CatholicsThe Great Rosary Campaign is also based on several biblical themes and principles.First, PRAY FOR OUR BRETHREN. “Pray for one another…” (Jas. 5:16). “So then, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all men, and especially to those who are of the household of faith" (Gal. 6:10).Second, PRAY FOR OUR ENEMIES. “You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.' But I say to you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, so that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven" (Matt. 5:43-44).Third, PRAY FOR ALL MEN, PARTICULARLY LEADERS AND THOSE IN AUTHORITY. “First of all, then, I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all men, or kings and all who are in high positions…” (1 Tim. 2:1-2).Fourth, GOING INTO BATTLE WITH THE ARK. When the ancient Israelites came to Jericho, God didn't tell them to besiege the city. Instead, He told them to march around it with the Ark of the Covenant seven times, and on the seventh the walls would fall. We will now "march" in prayer for seven days with the New Ark of the Covenant, Our Lady, through the Rosary. We pray in hope that on the seventh day, a day especially devoted to Our Lady (Saturday), extraordinary graces of conversion will be given to those we are praying for.Fifth, EVANGELISM AND APOLOGETICS = LOVE + ARGUMENTS + PRAYER + PENANCE. Ultimately it is God who reveals Himself to a soul, and empowers them to say "yes" to Him by His grace. He chooses to use us, but He does not have to. We must remember that as we evangelize and defend the Faith, our arguments will be fruitless unless informed by love (charity), and reinforced by prayer and penance.Sixth, RETURNING GOOD FOR EVIL. “Do not return evil for evil, or reviling for reviling; but on the contrary bless, for to this you have been called, that you may obtain a blessing" (1 Pet. 3:9).Sign up to take part in the Great Rosary Campaign today: www.GreatRosaryCampaign.com
The return of "What About?" Wednesdays! Text us your questions for apologist and pastor Robby Lashua!Today:Dinosaurs on Noah's Ark? Dinosaur tracks and human artifacts within the same fossil layers? Fresh biological material within excavated dinosaur bones? We have found water-soluble dinosaur DNA that has survived?You better buckle up. Today's Kingdom Culture Conversation is going to spur a lot of conversations...Background:In the summer of 2016, the annual Crusaders Charge into Summer Reading campaign introduced us to Russ Miller, a storied and established Biblical creationist who lives, believe it or not, off-the-grid in a crater in northern Arizona. If that were not crazy enough, during that summer, Miller introduced us to his book, "The Cost", and he made two audacious claims.First, Russ Miller claimed that the universe and all of creation was established by God in six 24-hour days, less than 10,000 years ago. He claimed he had scientific and scriptural evidence to back up his claims.Second, Miller claimed that if our nation continued to deny God the creator and the concept of "Imago Dei" -- that we are created in the image and likeness of God, on purpose, and for a purpose -- our culture would go into a freefall, losing all concept of right and wrong, falling into chaos and disorder.Now, ten years later, Russ Miller is back and his warnings and worries have exploded into reality. Our country and our culture are mired in confusion about truth, gender, marriage, race, identity, spirituality, and more.We are paying what Miller called "The Cost" of losing track of who we are and whose we are.Miller's latest book is "Consider the Cost" -- an updated and expanded version of "The Cost" that is available at no cost in the three offices of Northwest Christian School -- and his message remains the same: we must understand that we were created by God on purpose -- we are not biochemical happenstance -- and we were created for a purpose. We are loved and valued. The truth is knowable. We have a reason. We have a mission.This summer, we're going deep into creationism. We are going to spend time with audacious individuals who believe in Young Earth, Old Earth, Theistic Evolution, Geocentricity, and, yes, a Flat Earth. Our journey will be anchored in God's word as we enjoy some pretty amazing conversations.But, at the end of the day, diverse positions aside, every moment and every word of the KingdomCultureConversations.com episodes that we will hear this summer (between May 11th and September 28th) will be rooted in one truth: You were created on purpose and for a purpose.To learn more about Russ Miller and his organization, "Creation and Evolution Science Ministries", please follow this link.
