Podcasts about The Astonishing

Hi there, It's LOU here with another English episode for my friend Sam. Do you know how they always tell you in business that you should have ONE PERSON in mind that you talk & write to? Well Sam is my person. And even though this episode is because of Sam and for Sam it's not just a one woman show. It is for everyone who, like Sam, no longer wants to blend in. Who pro-actively not want to be like everyone else and that being a GOOD THING. For everyone who wants their kids to see that if people don't want what you offer, that you can find people that do. For everyone that no longer wants to try and be successful and fit in with everyone else. SAM is the Society of Astonishing Misfits. The Coolness of the uncool. We have our OWN way to succeed. And also in this episode the 5 phases of the Recalibration process. Including the Shi(f)t Storm. It is part of manifestation and it will sweep you all clean to live on your own terms. Love LOU

In Romans, Paul describes Abraham as "the father of us all." However, his purpose in telling this isn't to say, “Take a look at Abraham's amazing faith.”  He's telling us, “Take a look at God's amazing promise.”  He wants us to realize that you and I have a God who keeps every remarkable promise He has made – including our redemption from sin and eternal salvation in Christ.

Astonishing Conversation - Disciples New FocusThis episode we. Finish the astonishing conversation in John 4.Jesus focuses the disciples on their intended mission. As He did with the Samaritan woman, He diverts their attention from the physical to the spiritual. His food is to do the will of the Father, and He calls them.“I sent you to reap that for which you have not labored; others have labored, and you have entered into their labor.” John 4:38The Holy Spirit moves Paul to detail our calling in 2 Corinthians 5.“I sent you to reap that for which you have not labored; others have labored, and you have entered into their labor.”Our So What?In the simplest form, have some soul you care for that you are committed to pray for consistently that they become part of the harvest, reconciled to God. Even simpler, no matter where you are in your striving with God, for His will, have someone you are interceding for to be reconciled to God.The meat of the episode ends at the 15:51 mark, and then we talk about the next few week and some changes in our tech, while introducing you to my friend Jesse.At the 19.08 mark, we discuss Ireland in relation to the Free Range Preacher on Prayer, including our excitement over the Spirit's moving in the lives of our brothers and sisters there, and that I can bang on, but not pronounce bodhran!

Send us Fan MailMore Efficient Results, More Personal Attention ... Less Visits - The Day a Patient Disappeared and the Clinical Results were Astonishing w/ CoHost Dr. Robert Shafer A patient can go a full year on aligners without an in-office check and still finish beautifully, and that fact should change how you think about orthodontic remote monitoring. We sit down with Dr. Robert Schaefer, one of the most effective users of remote monitoring we've ever seen, to unpack what actually happens when you stop treating virtual scans like a side project and start building your workflow around them. The result is less chaos, fewer wasted appointments, and a calmer way to run aligner treatment day to day.We talk through the real reasons practices say “remote monitoring doesn't work” while still scheduling chair time that no one can explain. The core issue is usually training and default settings: teams and doctors often look at a scan and jump straight to “bring them in,” instead of asking “how can we keep them progressing without disrupting their life?” We also dig into the control problem, the common belief that patients need to see you to justify the fee, and why convenience is often the strongest value you can deliver for busy families.You'll hear practical takeaways on aligner tracking, catching noncompliance early, avoiding the dreaded surprise appointment, and when it does make sense to bring someone in (like certain elastic or bite checks). We also cover how fewer in-person visits can free time to upgrade your patient experience, education, and coaching, plus why dabbling with a “10-case pilot” often leads to failure. If you want better Invisalign and aligner outcomes with fewer fires to put out, this one is for you.Subscribe for more, share this with a doctor or team lead who's still on the fence, and leave a five-star review if you want us to keep pushing into what modern orthodontic practice management can look like.Click here to follow The Brian Wright Show PodcastClick here to subscribe and watch on The Brian Wright Show YouTube Station Thank you to our SponsorsNew Patient GroupWrightChat

Send us Fan MailLife has a way of getting lifely — and this episode was born right in the middle of mine. In Episode 208, I get personal about a season that brought me to stillness, to my car, to my breath — and ultimately, to a word that changed everything for me this year. If you have ever found yourself waiting for the perfect moment to start again, or wondering if the hard thing you are going through has any light in it at all, this episode is for you. Come as you are. Start where you are. That is always enough.From a beloved novel to a spontaneous act of love from my son, from peer-reviewed science to a 14th century poet — I weave together the stories, the research, and the reminders that the light within you has never gone out. It may be quiet. It may be flickering. But it is there, and it has been there your whole life. I hope this episode helps you see it.Quote of the week: "I wish I could show you, when you are lonely or in darkness, the astonishing light of your own being." — Hafiz of ShirazFina's 2025 Reading ListThe 48 Laws of Power — Robert GreeneThe Prince — Niccolò MachiavelliThe Art of War — Sun TzuQuotations from the Works of Mao Tse-Tung — Mao ZedongRight Thing Right Now — Ryan HolidayAwaken the Giant Within — Tony RobbinsThe Big Leap — Gay HendricksEmotional Intelligence — Bradberry & GreavesA Return to Love — Marianne WilliamsonNo Mud No Lotus — Thich Nhat HanhTao Te Ching — Translated by Stephen MitchellMindful Investor — Maria GonzalezEducated — Tara WestoverSlaughterhouse-Five — Kurt Vonnegut1929 — Andrew Ross SorkinBooks ReferencedDoerr, Anthony.

Our Family focus today is the nation of Germany, and it begins at 17:23. Thank you all, our German family, you have an intriguing history, and we are glad you listen.As we are reminded to pray, God will reveal wonderful things from His law, we pick up the end ofJesus' conversation with the woman at the well in the region of Samaria.We are introduced to two different reactions to this astonishing conversation. The glorious response.The woman left Jesus, and His disciples completely changed. We see her now as a bubbling spring of water to eternal life. The people she once shied away from now rushed back to see Jesus because of her testimony. On the other hand:The mundane response. The disciples, whom we will see more of next time, marveled at but asked no questions about Jesus's conversation with this woman, and were so absorbed by their lunch that they missed the throng asking Jesus to stay with them. Our So What?We enter the throne room expectantly in the presence of our King. We listen attentively to the word given to us by our King.We react correctly, striving not to miss our King's desire.We depart joyfully, seeing our King's work. In this case, the salvation of souls. We pray, “Open my eyes, that I may behold Wonderful things from Thy law.” Psalm 119:18With humble thanks to John Piper and Alistair Begg, who greatly informed this episode.Brethren, let's pray for one another. “Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honor and glory forever and ever.” Amen1 Timothy 1:17”What a man is on his knees before God, that he is and nothing more."

Plans change; that might be a theme of this podcast, Jesus' conversations with people in the book of John. We want to explore possible applications. Today, being sincere is an import from Jesus and His conversation with the woman at the well in Samaria. When she answered, "I have no husband," she was not honest with Jesus. His answer, "you have well said," in the passage did several things: for her, it showed that Jesus was the one with the answers; and for us, it illustrates that we are not only honest with God. For a prayer life which glorifies God, and satisfies our souls, our sincerity with Him is our…Our So What?As we desire honesty from one another in conversation, God desires truth in our close communion with Him. (Even though we know He knows)True communion is sincere communion."What a man is on his knees before God, that he is and nothing more."

We're caught up! - to December 2025. We beg the question, “What is time to a Neurodivergent?We finish up with the woman at the well, and her astonishing conversation with the Savior of the world.The importance of the eternal over the temporal.Mark 8:36“For what does it profit a man to gain the whole world, and forfeit his soul?“Therefore we do not lose heart, but though our outer man is decaying, yet our inner man is being renewed day by day. 17 For momentary, light affliction is producing for us an eternal weight of glory far beyond all comparison, 18 while we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen; for the things which are seen are temporal, but the things which are not seen are eternal.” 2 Corinthians 4:16-18“Therefore also we have as our ambition, whether at home or absent, to be pleasing to Him.” 2 Corinthians 5:9“But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness; and all these things shall be added to you.” Matthew 6:33The Holy Spirit gifts us each with the ability to help build up the church to be effective in spreading the gospel. Not all are evangelists, but all have, as this Samaritan found, a testimony.Our So What?Whatever else we lack, we have our testimony.

Jesus meets a woman at a well; this event gets right to the point. Our lives are much more than what we see physically, and the real existential threat is not to our earthly lives, but to our eternal souls. So critical is this truth that Jesus brings up what the woman would not say. "Go, call your husband, and come here." What unfolded next led the woman to the spiritual. "The woman *said to Him, "Sir, I perceive that You are a prophet." Verse 19 of John 4. The point of this conversation:"Jesus *said to her, "Woman, believe Me, an hour is coming when neither in this mountain, nor in Jerusalem, shall you worship the Father. 22 "You worship that which you do not know; we worship that which we know, for salvation is from the Jews. 23 "But an hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers shall worship the Father in spirit and truth; for such people the Father seeks to be His worshipers. 24 "God is spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth." John 4:17-20Our So What?Praying for the physical is part of the call we have, but as we mature in our communion with Almighty God, our concerns will shift from the physical to the spiritual."What a man is on his knees before God, that he is and nothing more."

The amazing structure of the honeycomb has fascinated scientists for thousands of years. In the third century, the astronomer and geometer Pappus of Alexandria became the first to offer an explanation for why the honeycomb has a hexagonal shape.Pappus explained that only three shapes could serve as candidates for a honeycomb cell—the triangle, the square, and the hexagon. Any other shape would leave wasteful open spaces between the cells. Pappus noted that the hexagon holds more honey in the same space than either a square or a triangle. It also takes less wax to build, and the shared sides of the hexagonal cells reduce wax usage even further.It was not until the development of modern calculus that scientists could fully appreciate the shape of the caps at the end of the honeycomb cells. Each cell is capped with a pyramid composed of three rhombuses. Complex mathematics shows that this shape, too, requires the least amount of wax for construction. It also allows honeycomb cells to be butted up against each other without wasting space.Modern scientists who accept evolution talk about the design of the honeycomb as a great accomplishment by the bees. However, the more sensible conclusion is obvious. The ten-sided prism of the honeycomb cap is a magnificent testimony to the mathematical wisdom of the Creator Himself!Job 11:7-9“Canst thou by searching find out God? canst thou find out the Almighty unto perfection? It is as high as heaven; what canst thou do? deeper than hell; what canst thou know? The measure thereof is longer than the earth, and broader than the sea.”Prayer: Only You, Lord, could have invented mathematics and then taught it to the bees! Your wide generosity to all creatures enriches and blesses our lives even more. Amen.REF.: The mathematics of the honeycomb. Science Digest.

Review of the woman at the well from John 4.We begin today with a prayer for our brothers and sisters in Russia and Ukraine. Most of all, a worldwide revival might even start there, in the midst of turmoil.The conversation in John 4 is as astonishing as our prayers. To the woman, a Jew talking to a Samaritan woman was unthinkable. The holy God of the universe initiating communion with us is just as inconceivable. Yet He does:Moses sees the burning bush; the Hebrews tell us He has spoken in various and sundry ways. At one point, all I knew of the Bible was Romans 6:23, from a billboard.Hebrews also tells us that He is now speaking to us through His Son. "in these last days has spoken to us in His Son, whom He appointed heir of all things, through whom also He made the world. 3 And He is the radiance of His glory and the exact representation of His nature, and upholds all things by the word of His power. When He had made purification of sins, He sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high; 4 having become as much better than the angels, as He has inherited a more excellent name than they." Hebrews 1:2-4And as Jesus is turning the woman from water to eternal life, He tells us in this passage: "…made purification of sins…" Eternity is His message.Our So What?We ask this question: Knowing that the spiritual is so much more critical than the physical. How might that change the content of our prayers? "What a man is on his knees before God, that he is and nothing more."

Mark introduced Jesus as the Son of God and Israel's Messiah (see v. 1), who proclaimed His purpose to establish the kingdom of God (see v. 15). But such claims must be substantiated by divine authority. So, the author provides three credentials of this Messianic King to prove His office.I. Authority Over Dispassion (vv. 21-22)II. Authority Over Demons (vv. 23-28)III. Authority Over Disease (vv. 29-34)Learn Your Bible: Use your favorite study resources to find cross-reference passages that point to Jesus' authority in each of the areas we studied today.Love Your Neighbor: Ask God to show you someone in your life who needs to be reminded of His grace, then take one practical step to love them well.Live in Freedom: Is there something in your life—a doubt, struggle, or secret shame—that you haven't surrendered to the authority of Christ? Take the first step this week to fully place that in His hands.

We are reviewing our podcasts highlighting Jesus and the woman at the well. Fresh season 8 episodes in a few days. In the olden days, driving out to the Boise National Forest and coming home from the same, God talked to me first. It was a hard truth that I had no comprehension of until I unexpectedly found myself in church. God spoke through a billboard containing His word. "For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord."Romans 6:23God often speaks to us with a hard statement. Romans 6:23 is one of those. For the woman at the well, the hard conversation began with "Give me a drink."The astonishing part was not a command from a strange man, "give me a drink", but that a Jew was talking to a Samaritan,We are dumbfounded to hear from God, not just difficult truths, but that the Holy God of the universe stoops down to converse with His fallen creatures. "When I consider Thy heavens, the work of Thy fingers, The moon and the stars, which Thou hast ordained; 4 What is man, that Thou dost take thought of him? And the son of man, that Thou dost care for him?" Psalm 8:3-4Our So What?Viva la our astonishing conversations. For without those troublesome statements, we would never know we need and have been given a Savior for our souls. "What a man is on his knees before God, that he is and nothing more."

Emilio Pucci: The Astonishing Odyssey of a Fashion Icon . The book has received glowing reviews from The New York Times, Vogue, Publishers Weekly, and more.When people think of fashion designer Emilio Pucci, it is of his bright, swirling colors and easy, freeing fabrics, and everyone from Sophia Loren to Jackie Kennedy donning the eye-catching dresses that personify La Dolce Vita. What few know about Pucci, however, is that before creating his world-famous fashions, he played a critical role in the war against the Nazis, risking his life to smuggle out to the Allies one of the most important documents of World War II.The authors bring to life Italy's darkest and brightest days, with the extraordinary Emilio Pucci at its center. Italy at the end of the war was broken, and Florence, which the Pucci family had called home for seven centuries, lay in ruins. Pucci returned home bruised in body and soul, having endured trials that would have broken many, but, like Italy itself, rose from the ashes, and went on to design some of the most exuberant fashion of all time. He helped usher in a new era of creativity in Italy, which again became a mecca of fashion, art, design, film, and more.About the authors:Idanna Pucci is the author of The Lady of Sing Sing and The World Odyssey of a Balinese Prince. Idanna grew up in the Pucci palace, eyewitness to her uncle's extraordinary work. She and Terence have had far flung lives, from Iran to Indonesia. They live in Florence.Terence Ward is the author of Searching for Hassan: A Journey to the Heart of Iran and The Guardian of Mercy: How an Extraordinary Painting by Caravaggio Changed an Ordinary Life.#speakingofwriterspodcast #authorpodcast #authors #stmartinspublishing #italy #florenceitaly #emiliopucci#bookpodcast

The body is an energy system, designed perfectly by God to functionally blend software and hardware together to work as a cohesive unit. However, as life takes its toll and poisons begin to invade our bodies - seeping in through our environment, our diets, and EMF waves surrounding us - the body begins to break down. Dr. Alphonzo Monzo, a biblical naturopath, discusses the 26 key energy points on the human body, and how these points are numbers based on operating frequency. Incredibly, Dr. Monzo says that each point of energy in the body is related to a letter from the Hebrew alphabet. He also describes in detail how to activate the “polarity of the hands,” which emphasizes the flow of all energy circulation in the body and how to direct that flow.

Intelligence Cover-Up: FBI and CIA allegedly hid critical intel from Congress and Trump, fearing their information would be used by “that Bulgarian in the Oval Office.” COVID and Election Manipulation: Pentagon and USAID funding allegedly enabled China to manipulate the pandemic narrative, facilitating mass mail-in ballots. Hunter Biden & Bribery: Evidence on Hunter Biden's laptop allegedly linked payments from China directly to influencing the election outcome.

Last month, there was a devastating hearing featuring a victim of ICE, an ICE whistleblower, and a previous DHS attorney. It revealed what, in any other time, would have been a massive scandal likely resulting in multiple firings. But we live in the bad times, which means this hearing took place in a maintenance shed barely on Congressional property during lunchtime put on by a ragtag team of the few remaining people who give a shit about constitutional rights. I take you through the hearing, and then next episode we're going to compare this to the Minnesota fraud hearings, of which the MAGA controlled congress has had... 3? 4? There is a marked difference in the seriousness of the people involved.

We're caught up! - to December - 2025. We beg the question, “What is time to a Neurodivergent?We finish up with the woman at the well, and her astonishing conversation with the Savior of the world.The importance of the eternal over the temporal.Mark 8:36“For what does it profit a man to gain the whole world, and forfeit his soul?“Therefore we do not lose heart, but though our outer man is decaying, yet our inner man is being renewed day by day. 17 For momentary, light affliction is producing for us an eternal weight of glory far beyond all comparison, 18 while we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen; for the things which are seen are temporal, but the things which are not seen are eternal.” 2 Corinthians 4:16-18“Therefore also we have as our ambition, whether at home or absent, to be pleasing to Him.” 2 Corinthians 5:9“But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness; and all these things shall be added to you.” Matthew 6:33The Holy Spirit gifts us each with the ability to help build up the church to be effective in the spread of the gospel. Not all are evangelists, but all have, as this Samaritan found, a testimony.Our So What?Whatever else we lack, we have our testimony. The woman at the well forgot her water and went to tell the people she had avoided before:“So the woman left her waterpot, and went into the city, and *said to the men, 29 “Come, see a man who told me all the things that I have done; this is not the Christ, is it?” John 4:28-29Or“Come and hear, all who fear God, And I will tell of what He has done for my soul.” Psalm 66:16“Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honor and glory forever and ever. Amen.” Timothy 1:17Brethren, let's pray for one another, "What a man is on his knees before God, that he is and nothing more."

Jesus meets a woman at a well; this event gets right to the point. Our lives are much more than what we see physically, and the real existential threat is not to our earthly lives, but to our eternal souls. So critical is this truth that Jesus brings up what the woman would not say. "Go, call your husband, and come here." What unfolded next led the woman to the spiritual. "The woman *said to Him, "Sir, I perceive that You are a prophet." Verse 19 of John 4. The point of this conversation:"Jesus *said to her, "Woman, believe Me, an hour is coming when neither in this mountain, nor in Jerusalem, shall you worship the Father. 22 "You worship that which you do not know; we worship that which we know, for salvation is from the Jews. 23 "But an hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers shall worship the Father in spirit and truth; for such people the Father seeks to be His worshipers. 24 "God is spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth." John 4:17-20Our So What?Praying for the physical is part of the call we have, but as we mature in our communion with Almighty God, our concerns will shift from the physical to the spiritual."What a man is on his knees before God, that he is and nothing more."

Review of the woman at the well from John 4.We begin today with a prayer for our brothers and sisters in Russia and Ukraine. Most of all, a worldwide revival might even start there, in the midst of turmoil.The conversation in John 4 is as astonishing as our prayers. To the woman, a Jew talking to a Samaritan woman was unthinkable. The holy God of the universe initiating communion with us is just as inconceivable. Yet He does:Moses sees the burning bush; the Hebrews tell us He has spoken in various and sundry ways. At one point, all I knew of the Bible was Romans 6:23, from a billboard.Hebrews also tells us that He is now speaking to us through His Son. "in these last days has spoken to us in His Son, whom He appointed heir of all things, through whom also He made the world. 3 And He is the radiance of His glory and the exact representation of His nature, and upholds all things by the word of His power. When He had made purification of sins, He sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high; 4 having become as much better than the angels, as He has inherited a more excellent name than they." Hebrews 1:2-4And as Jesus is turning the woman from water to eternal life, He tells us in this passage: "…made purification of sins…" Eternity is His message.Our So What?We ask this question: Knowing that the spiritual is so much more critical than the physical. How might that change the content of our prayers? "What a man is on his knees before God, that he is and nothing more."

Chen Hui asked.Zh: “那个失踪的宝物。我觉得这次是我们解开秘密的好机会。”李伟低声说。En: "That missing treasure. I think this is our chance to uncover its secrets," Li Wei said softly.Zh: 但问题在于，节日的安保比平时更加严格。En: The problem, however, was that security during the festival was stricter than usual.Zh: 李伟和陈辉发觉很多区域都被封锁，尤其是在这样的节日里。En: Li Wei and Chen Hui noticed that many areas were cordoned off, especially during such festivals.Zh: 李伟决定去找小明，一个看似怀疑论者的警卫。En: Li Wei decided to seek out Xiaoming, a seemingly skeptical guard.Zh: 他希望小明能给予他们一些帮助。En: He hoped Xiaoming could provide them with some help.Zh: 小明不以为然地看着李伟。En: Xiaoming looked at Li Wei with skepticism.Zh: “你真的相信这个故事？”他稍带嘲讽地问。En: "Do you really believe in this story?" he asked mockingly.Zh: “我相信历史和真相，”李伟自信地回应。En: "I believe in history and the truth," Li Wei replied confidently.Zh: “我需要你的帮助。”En: "I need your help."Zh: 经过一番劝说，小明勉强答应带他们去一些不对外开放的地方。En: After some persuasion, Xiaoming reluctantly agreed to take them to areas not open to the public.Zh: 随着夜色渐深，三人开始在宫殿间搜寻线索。En: As the night deepened, the three began to search for clues among the palace buildings.Zh: 随着细致的探索，李伟终于在一个角落发现了一块松动的砖石。En: Through meticulous exploration, Li Wei finally discovered a loose brick in a corner.Zh: “这里！”李伟兴奋地说。En: "Here!" Li Wei said excitedly.Zh: 他把砖轻轻推开，果然发现了一个隐藏的通道。En: He gently pushed the brick aside and indeed found a hidden passage.Zh: 他们小心翼翼地进入通道，走了一段黑暗的楼梯后，来到一个地下室。En: They cautiously entered the passage and, after descending a dark staircase, arrived at a basement.Zh: 那里摆放着各种古老的物品，最中央的便是那个失踪的宝物。En: There, various ancient items were displayed, with the missing treasure at the center.Zh: “原来它存在！”陈辉的声音中充满惊讶。En: "So it does exist!" Chen Hui exclaimed in astonishment.Zh: 随后，李伟深入研究宝物的历史，发现了令人震惊的真相：En: Subsequently, Li Wei delved into the history of the treasure and uncovered a shocking truth:Zh: 这个宝物曾被用作镇国之物，蕴含着丰富的历史意义。En: the treasure was once used as a national stabilizing artifact, carrying significant historical importance.Zh: 李伟和陈辉立即决定将这些信息上报给相关部门。En: Li Wei and Chen Hui immediately decided to report their findings to the relevant authorities.Zh: 最终，李伟成功说服了官方人员，将宝物妥善保存，避免了误用的危险。En: Ultimately, Li Wei successfully persuaded the officials to preserve the treasure properly, preventing any potential misuse.Zh: 由于这次的发现，李伟在学术界赢得了更多的尊重，他与小明之间也多了几分理解和尊敬。En: Due to this discovery, Li Wei earned greater respect in the academic community, and a deeper understanding and respect developed between him and Xiaoming.Zh: 紫禁城的灯火渐渐熄灭了。En: The lights of the Zijincheng gradually dimmed.Zh: 李伟站在宫墙前，感受着冬夜的微风。En: Li Wei stood before the palace walls, feeling the winter night's breeze.Zh: 他知道，这一晚自己不仅找到了宝物，也找到了自己能力和勇气的证明。En: He knew that this night he had found not only the treasure but also a testament to his own ability and courage.

A magazine that first hit newsstands 100 years ago today was unlike anything readers had seen before. Its cover featured a brightly-colored painting of people ice-skating on a comet as it zoomed past Saturn. Its founding editor, Hugo Gernsback, called it “a new sort of magazine” – “a magazine of ‘scientifiction'” – a genre known today as science fiction. Amazing Stories was the first magazine dedicated solely to the genre. Its debut issue, which was dated April 1926, carried reprints of stories by Jules Verne, H.G. Wells, Edgar Allen Poe, and others. The story titles included “The Man from the Atom” and “The Thing from – Beyond.” The magazine was an instant hit. Within a year, monthly circulation was at 150,000. Other publishers quickly caught on, and began publishing many more sci-fi magazines. Over the decades, they included such titles as Fantastic, Astonishing, and Astounding. They featured many of the major figures of science fiction’s “golden age.” Their inventive stories and eye-catching covers caught the attention of lots of youngsters. The magazines inspired many of them to pursue careers in astronomy, physics, engineering, and related fields. They also inspired future filmmakers, who expanded “scientifiction” far beyond the printed page. Few science-fiction magazines have survived. But their influence is still felt today – on Earth – and beyond. Script by Damond Benningfield

Being Torn Open / Mark 6:1-6 / Jonathan Haefs

We are reviewing our podcasts highlighting Jesus and the woman at the well. Fresh season 8 episodes in a few days. In the olden days, driving out to the Boise National Forest and coming home from the same, God talked to me first. It was a hard truth that I had no comprehension of until I unexpectedly found myself in church. God spoke through a billboard containing His word. "For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord."Romans 6:23God often speaks to us with a hard statement. Romans 6:23 is one of those. For the woman at the well, the hard conversation began with "Give me a drink."The astonishing part was not a command from a strange man, "give me a drink", but that a Jew was talking to a Samaritan,We are dumbfounded to hear from God, not just difficult truths, but that the Holy God of the universe stoops down to converse with His fallen creatures. "When I consider Thy heavens, the work of Thy fingers, The moon and the stars, which Thou hast ordained; 4 What is man, that Thou dost take thought of him? And the son of man, that Thou dost care for him?" Psalm 8:3-4Our So What?Viva la our astonishing conversations. For without those troublesome statements, we would never know we need and have been given a Savior for our souls. "What a man is on his knees before God, that he is and nothing more."

A coincidence occurs when two events that you know are not related happen in such a way that they seem related. Let's say that you receive an unexpected bill in the mail for $124.00. And in the same day's mail, you find a check for $124.00 with a note from a friend saying, "Here's the $100.00 you loaned me four years ago with some interest." What a happy coincidence.When more than two seemingly unrelated events seem to work together, you would have to conclude that they were, indeed, related.That's why scientists are beginning to wonder whether there isn't a plan to the universe after all. For life to exist in the universe, literally millions of details must come together in just the right way. If the force of gravity or the forces holding the atom together were only a tiny bit stronger or weaker, life could not exist. The carbon atom is the basis of life. Is it coincidence that the carbon atom is unique in its ability to form the long, complex chains of molecules needed for life? If stars burned at a slightly different rate than they do, life would either be burned up or frozen to death.Many scientists have actually stated in writing that they are astonished at the huge number of cosmic "coincidences" that have come together in the universe to make life possible. Some are even suggesting that the universe has an impersonal intelligence. But why cloud the issue this way? Why not simply recognize that there is indeed a Creator God who has created a whole universe just for the benefit of life—especially humankind?Psalm 40:5"Many, O Lord my God, are thy wonderful works which thou hast done, and thy thoughts which are to us-ward: they cannot be reckoned up in order unto thee: if I would declare and speak of them, they are more than can be numbered."Prayer: Dear Lord, I thank You that despite man's studied unbelief, You have made Yourself and Your concern for mankind so clear that even unbelievers must recognize it. Use me and all of Your people to clearly voice the more complete details of Your love for all mankind in Your innocent suffering and death on our behalf. Amen.REF.: Mallove, Eugene F.

The true story of Mary Ann Patten, a nineteen-year-old woman who, in the summer of 1856, took command of a clipper ship and navigated it around Cape Horn. What drives someone to leave behind security, reputation, and the expectations of society to sail into the unknown? In this episode, we explore To The Edge of the World with author Tilar Mazzeo—a gripping true story of adventure, obsession, and the irresistible pull of the sea. We discuss the extraordinary life at the heart of this book: a woman who refused to accept the limits placed on her and instead chose a life defined by risk, freedom, and relentless determination. Through treacherous waters, isolation, and moments of triumph and despair, Mazzeo paints a vivid portrait of what it means to chase a dream when the world insists you shouldn't. Her journey is as much an inner reckoning as it is a physical voyage to the farthest reaches of the globe. Along the way, we discuss the book's rich historical context, the emotional costs of ambition, and the complicated line between courage and obsession. This episode asks big questions about independence, belonging, and why the call of adventure can be so powerful that it demands everything in return. Whether you're drawn to true stories of exploration, fascinated by lives lived outside convention, or simply curious about what lies beyond the horizon, this conversation will take you right to the edge of the world—and what it means to live there.

In 2014, the world's second largest coal consumer made a bold promise: to increase its solar capacity from three gigawatts to 100 gigawatts in just eight years. Many people called it overly ambitious, but energy expert Kanika Chawla saw the opportunity of a lifetime. She tells the story of how India became a solar powerhouse, turning an expensive dream into an economic reality — and creating a model for other countries to follow suit. After, Sherrell reflects on what drives the green economy and the growth strategy other companies can follow.Learn more about our flagship conference happening this April at attend.ted.com/podcast Hosted on Acast.

Is the veil between life and the afterlife finally breaking down? What could that mean for the way we live our lives? In this jaw-dropping episode of Mayim Bialik's Breakdown, Dr. Raymond A. Moody Jr., MD, PhD—the world's leading authority on Near Death Experiences and author of the groundbreaking bestseller Life After Life—reveals the most mind-blowing NDE he has ever encountered in his 50 years of pioneering research. For decades, Dr. Moody watched NDEs go from “fringe pseudoscience” to a serious, respected field of study. In this episode, he explains exactly what changed, why he believes NDEs represent the crumbling veil between our current reality and the afterlife, and why believing these accounts has nothing to do with religion, and everything to do with evidence. Dr. Moody also breaks down: - His astonishing Psychomanteum Research, reviving the ancient ritual of mirror gazing to communicate with deceased loved ones - Why he feels “forced” to believe in an afterlife - His powerful message to hardcore skeptics - Why NDEs may be humanity's first measurable bridge to another dimension - The stunning phenomenon of Shared Death Experiences (including his own personal encounter!) - Why SDEs may offer irrefutable proof of the validity of NDEs - The spiritual exercise he uses to help skeptics open to afterlife evidence - Why we're on the verge of a breakthrough in the rational investigation of life after death - How skeptics & parapsychologists may actually be more aligned than they think Mayim and Jonathan also unpack the different categories of NDEs, why proving the science of the afterlife is so difficult, the eerie phenomenon of multiple people having parallel dreams at the same time, the impact of family constellation work on healing and ancestral patterns, and the profound power of unconscious belief and how it shapes our reality.
