Send us a Text Message.Richard and Stephen discuss a listener's question about HCL and pepsin supplements, as well as another question about a product for Meniere's disease. They also address a question about women losing their cycle on a carnivore diet and fasting, and explain the importance of feeding the body nutrients regularly instead of forcing prolonged periods of fasting. They suggest that proteins and fats are key for hormone production and regulation. Both Stephen and Richard discuss the best way to interpret blood test results, especially for those following a carnivore diet. They talked about the importance of looking at the context of the results and not just relying on standard ranges. They also discussed how TSH levels can be misleading and the need to consider clinical experience in addition to evidence-based studies. They touched on the importance of direct measurements for metrics like EGFR and LDL.In a live stream, someone asked about a comment made by Jake Thomas about not relying on hip thrusts for glute building. The hosts discussed their opinions on the exercise and invited Jake to come on and explain his statement. They also discussed how not to interpret specific blood tests, using an example of liver enzymes and how they can be affected by factors other than liver damage. They also mentioned that looking at patterns and multiple metrics is important in understanding blood test results.Restless leg syndrome can be caused by stress, alcohol, caffeine, vigorous exercise, lack of sleep, over-the-counter drugs, and dairy. Iron levels may also contribute, so getting a full iron panel done could help. Dairy can also inhibit iron absorption.

Two provocative new movies get the BFG podcast treatment this week. Host Neal Pollack begins the show with a wicked audio rendition of his piece excoriating stupid pundits who say that Hollywood has a new "Blacklist" because some people are expressing dumb opinions about the Israel-Hamas conflict. Spoiler alert: there is no Blacklist, not even a show starring James Spader Let's lay that discussion to rest.JP Guinn appears on leave from his semester at Oxford to discuss 'Saltburn' with Neal. They both agree that this move is "very horny" and that it's fun to watch it in a theater with people who it makes uncomfortable. Neal thinks it's more than a bit of a Talented Mr. Ripley knock-off, while not as good as The Talented Mr. Ripley. JP says it's a huge leap forward for Emerald Fennell as a filmmaker. And they both love Rosamund Pike and Richard E. Grant. It's a real talking-piece of a film, which is why we're talking about it.But we're really talking about Todd Haynes's 'May December', which Stephen Garrett and Neal give their highest recommendation. Neal reads it as a comedy, Stephen as a tragedy, but why not both? Regardless, it's "peak Todd Haynes," which is saying something in a career that has already had so many peaks. Both Stephen and Neal agree that this Netflix release about Hollywood exploiting people involved in childhood sex-abuse scandals is one of the year's best films.Enjoy our show!

Friday, 18 August 2023   “So not only is this trade of ours in danger of falling into disrepute, but also the temple of the great goddess Diana may be despised and her magnificence destroyed, whom all Asia and the world worship.” Acts 19:27   In the previous verse, the efforts of Paul concerning evangelism were noted, saying that not only in Ephesus but in all of Asia he had turned many away from the notion that gods made by hands are not gods at all. Now, Demetrius continues with the words, “So not only.”   These words cover what was just conveyed, the business of the craftsmen was in peril. As such, their livelihood would go with it. Instead of thinking about how they could change their skills in working with silver, they wanted to forge ahead with what they had been doing all along. However, he says not only “is this trade of ours in danger of falling into disrepute.”   The word meros, translated as “trade,” is not the same as in verse 25. This word signifies a portion or a share. Demetrius is riling up the men because their piece of the pie was in jeopardy. Also, the word apelegmos, translated as “disrepute” is seen only here in the New Testament. The meaning is that it would be exposed, refuted, or brought into contempt.   Therefore, Demetrius' words are based on the words of the previous verse that “they are not gods which are made with hands.” Any simpleton could walk by armed with this knowledge and see that the smiths were there pounding out little idols one after another. But, despite being on a much larger scale, the same was true with what the little idols were based on. That is seen in his next words, “but also the temple.”   No matter how big and majestic a temple may be, no matter how much awe and wonder there may be at the intricacy of it or the splendor it contained, it was still just a temple. A temple, when rightly considered, was just a bigger version of that which is made by hands. Whether small or large, hands had fashioned it. Thus, it was – by default – constructed by human effort.   Solomon acknowledged this at the erection of the temple –   “But will God indeed dwell on the earth? Behold, heaven and the heaven of heavens cannot contain You. How much less this temple which I have built!” 1 Kings 8:27   Regardless of what the purpose of the temple was for, Solomon was the one to have built the temple of the Lord. Both Stephen and Paul refer to the truth Solomon spoke out as well –   “However, the Most High does not dwell in temples made with hands, as the prophet says: 49 ‘Heaven is My throne, And earth is My footstool. What house will you build for Me? says the Lord, Or what is the place of My rest? 50 Has My hand not made all these things?'” Acts 7:48-50   &   “God, who made the world and everything in it, since He is Lord of heaven and earth, does not dwell in temples made with hands.” Acts 17:24   In the case of the temple at Ephesus, Demetrius says it is the temple “of the great goddess Diana.” Again, as in verse 19:24, it should read Artemis. It is the Greek name of the goddess. Scholars note that the term “the great goddess” is an epithet that has been found on many coins and medals of the city. What is important to the argument being set forth is that the worship of Artemis means the supposed existence of more than one god. This is also a concept opposed by Paul.   Therefore, if Paul's words were believed, and he proclaimed just one God, then Artemis must be a false goddess. Demetrius' words mean that if people logically thought through what Paul was saying, their goddess “may be despised.”   These words literally read, “to be reckoned for nothing.” If the God Paul proclaimed is the One true God, then the temple where the goddess Artemis was located was an edifice of vanity. That falls in line with Solomon's words concerning the temple in Jerusalem. God is not limited to a single temple made by human hands.   Only the purpose of the temple in Jerusalem was what made it different. It was a place to focus attention on the God who could not be contained within it. On the other hand, the temple of Artemis was erected to contain the goddess within. When it was realized she was not a goddess, the temple would then be reckoned for nothing “and her magnificence destroyed.”   Here, a play on words is made. A harmony of wording between the “great goddess,” megales theas, and “magnificence,” megaleiotētos, is seen. In essence, Demetrius is saying that the great goddess would lose her greatness. But if she was so great, how could she lose her greatness?   As for the word translated as “destroyed,” it means to “take down,” “dethrone,” or “depose.” It is the same word used concerning Jesus being taken down from the cross four times in the gospels and Acts, such as in Luke 23:53 –   “Then he took it down, wrapped it in linen, and laid it in a tomb that was hewn out of the rock, where no one had ever lain before.”   As for Demetrius' words concerning Artemis, he next notes of her, “whom all Asia and the world worship.” Of this, Matthew Pool notes, “though the Romans might worship any god (of those multitudes) which they allowed, yet they might leave their estates only to a very few amongst them; but Diana of the Ephesians was one of those few.”   As this is so, the money that came to this temple would have been exceedingly great. As such, it made great profits for the artisans that worked for her name. An entire industry was in jeopardy. This is the crux of the matter at hand.   Life application: The place where the church meets often inappropriately takes the place of the purpose of the building. In other words, the difference between the temple in Jerusalem and that of Artemis was noted. One was for the central worship of God who cannot be contained within the temple. The other was for a place of worship of the false goddess that was contained within it.   When the church gathers to meet in a particular location, it is not because God is more there than anywhere else. It is because those believers are sealed with the Spirit, and they are uniting to worship the God that transcends all things. However, this notion is often lost in the minds of believers. Too much focus is on the building itself or the things contained within it. This can take our eyes from where they should be.   Let us remember that whether we meet in a little church with no frills, in an open-air forum, or in a big church with all kinds of fancy stuff, the purpose of gathering is to worship the Lord, to study His word, and to jointly praise and petition Him. The externals will all fade away, but the glory of the Lord will remain undiminished forever.   “Thus says the Lord: ‘Heaven is My throne, And earth is My footstool. Where is the house that you will build Me? And where is the place of My rest? 2 For all those things My hand has made, And all those things exist,' Says the Lord. ‘But on this one will I look: On him who is poor and of a contrite spirit, And who trembles at My word.'” Isaiah 66:1, 2   Glorious God Almighty! How good it is to be in Your presence and to acknowledge You in spirit and in truth. May our hearts and minds be focused on Your splendor and beauty. May our hearts be directed by Your word. And may our lives be lived in a manner that will glorify You for all of our days. Amen.

Hey friends, Stephen discusses his philosophy on "planting the flag" (a.k.a. making the investment) to pursue his goals. He first takes us on a trip back to an experience with his brother Jeff during the Santa Cruz 1/2 and full Marathon in 2018. It was epic conditions; rain, thunder, lightning, hail, and localized flooding on the streets. Nearly half of the participants threw in the towel due mother nature's extreme weather. Both Stephen and Jeff finished their respective races and immediately started thinking what's harder than this 1/2 and full marathon. Stephen and Jeff found a 1/2 Ironman within 20 minutes of getting back to the hotel. Neither had the equipment (wetsuit and bike), nor knew the training requirements to prepare for such an athletic event. They registered, paid the fees, and marked their calendars. The "how in the hell are we going to compete" in this event was an afterthought. They both knew time was ticking and they better do their research. Plus, they better getting training or else their experience was going to be much more difficult. Here's several strategies you can use to plant your flag: Identify the target. Commit to the target (paying the registration fee). Acquire the right tools. Start training and learn as you go. Give yourself permission to make mistakes, seek council, and keep moving forward.

Bible Study with Jairus - Acts 8 Passing the Torch   Acts 8 marks the transition between Stephen's martyrdom (Acts 7) and the conversion of Saul in Acts 9. It tells the story of the gradual transition from the ministry of the first generation of apostles represented by Peter to the ministry of the second generation of apostles represented by Paul. The stories in chapter 8 intertwine Philip's ministry with the ministry of the apostles.   This chapter brings up many questions. Why did God perform so many signs and wonders through Philip, yet did not send the Holy Spirit until Peter and John were present? Why couldn't Philip bestow the Holy Spirit? Why did Philip preach the gospel to the eunuch only after the Holy Spirit's arrival? When Paul was baptized in Acts 9, was he filled with the Holy Spirit at that time?   I believe these intertwined stories pave the way for Paul's appearance. In other words, Philip and Stephen are evangelists, and their anointing is passed on to Paul; Peter and John are apostles, and their anointing is also passed on to Paul. Paul is the culmination of the ministry of Philip and Stephen, as well as Peter and John. Paul was both an evangelist and an apostle.   Stephen's martyrdom led to Paul's conversion   At the end of Acts 7, we learn that Stephen was martyred. As he was dying, he saw the heavens open, and the Lord Jesus standing at God the Father's right hand. At the time of his martyrdom, Stephen prayed for those who persecuted him, asking God the Father to forgive them because they did not know what they were doing.   Paul supported this senseless murder, and he personally witnessed Stephen's martyrdom. He even guarded the clothes of the Israelites who killed Stephen. We believe that Paul was shocked by Stephen's testimony and that this event laid the foundation for the great changes that occurred in Paul after the Lord Jesus appeared to him. The blood of the martyrs is the best testimony.     The sharp contrast between Stephen and Paul continues in Acts 8. Although Stephen was dead, the persecution did not stop. Paul continued to persecute the church: "But Saul was ravaging the church, and entering house after house, he dragged off men and women and committed them to prison."[1] (Acts 8:3) The believers from Jerusalem who had been scattered continued to preach the gospel wherever they went.   It is in this context that the story of Philip preaching the gospel is introduced. Both Philip and Stephen were deacons chosen by the apostles to serve meals to widows. Both of them were "men full of the Spirit and of wisdom" (Acts 6:3). Stephen is mentioned in Acts 6 as "a man full of faith and of the Holy Spirit" (Acts 6:5) and "full of grace and power, doing great wonders and signs among the people" (Acts 6:8). And the description of Philip listed in chapter 7 is very similar - Philip also performed many signs and great miracles (Acts 8:13). Both Stephen and Philip were powerful evangelists whose words were accompanied by signs, wonders and miracles. They had a very similar anointing from God.   Philip's story is not only a continuation of Stephen's legacy, but it led to Paul's appearance. Paul was a vessel specially prepared by God. As Paul gradually entered the stage and became the main character in the book of Acts, the anointing of evangelists such as Stephen and Philip would be passed on to him. Although the Holy Spirit uses different people at different times, the anointing within is the same and it continues.   The interaction between Simon, Philip, and the apostles   People were amazed by the signs and miracles Philip performed when he was preaching the gospel in Samaria. Simon, a local sorcerer, had often amazed people because of his magic. Even so, he was amazed by Philip's miracles. He not only believed in Christ but was also baptized. At this point, the story of Philip's evangelistic ministry ends (verse 13). In verse 14-25, the text records that the apostles Peter and John came to Samaria to lay their hands on the believers and pray. When they did, the believers were filled with the Holy Spirit. This amazed Simon more. Simon wanted to purchase this ability to lay hands on people and bestow the Holy Spirit.   When I was reading the Bible, there was one thing that confused me. Why wasn't Philip able to bestow the gift of the Holy Spirit while he was preaching the gospel in Samaria? In modern charismatic churches, many gifted evangelists can lead people to pray and receive the Holy Spirit. Why didn't Philip do it here? Why did he wait until Peter and John came before bringing down the Holy Spirit?   In short, I believe these early leaders in the church possessed two different gifts. One is the gift of evangelism, represented by Stephen and Philip, which was to be passed on to Paul. The other was the gift of apostleship, represented by Peter and John, which would also be passed on to Paul. Although these gifts intertwine, I believe that God allows the gifts to complement each other. Though Philip technically had the power to lay hands on people and bestow the Holy Spirit, it wasn't his role. After all, evangelists and apostles are not the same. They are two distinct gifts mentioned in the Bible. Paul said, "He gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the shepherds and teachers" (Ephesians 4:11). Both of these gifts would be passed on to Paul. Philip's choice paved the way for Paul's appearance.   Did Simon receive the Holy Spirit?   Philip preached the gospel and the apostles bestowed the Holy Spirit. They were greatly used by God and were the channel of His blessing. On the other hand, Simon and the eunuch were the channels to receive this blessing.   Simon, a sorcerer from Samaria, had amazed people for a long time with his magic (Acts 8:10-11). Simon followed Philip and was amazed by his signs and miracles (Acts 8:13). Because Philip performed many signs and wonders, Simon believed and was baptized.   Yet Simon was still trapped by evil. On the one hand, the power of Philip's evangelism brought him out of the darkness and into the light. However, he was not completely set free. When he offered to buy God's gift with money, the apostles told him his heart was not right with God (Acts 8:21).   Being anointed by God breaks our yoke of oppression and our shackles of slavery. Isaiah 10:27 says, "And in that day his burden will depart from your shoulder, and his yoke from your neck; and the yoke will be broken because of the fat." The last sentence "the yoke will be broken because of the fat" is often translated as "destroyed because of the anointing oil". The Lord Jesus quoted Isaiah in Luke 4. He said, "The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim liberty to the captives and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty those who are oppressed, to proclaim the year of the Lord's favor." (Luke 4:18-19) God's anointing sets the oppressed free.   The apostles urged Simon to repent so he would not be disciplined by God. Simon did pray, "Pray for me to the Lord, that nothing of what you have said may come upon me." (Acts 8:24). The Bible does not record what happened next. Did the apostles pray for him? Did he receive the power of the Holy Spirit? According to some historical records, Simon still practiced sorcery later on. However, no one knows whether these records are reliable. Simon's last recorded words were a request that the apostles pray for him, which demonstrates humility. Perhaps God did forgive him. I personally hope that Simon received the baptism of the Holy Spirit, but we won't find out until we get to heaven.   Acts 8:25 says, "Now when the apostles had testified and spoken the word of the Lord, they returned to Jerusalem, preaching the gospel to many villages of the Samaritans." After preaching the Lord's words, the apostles went back to Jerusalem. God's intention was for the gospel to spread from Jerusalem to all of Judea and Samaria and to the ends of the earth (Acts 1:8). But the apostles seemed unable to leave Jerusalem, either geographically or conceptually. They still divided people into groups: Jew and Gentile.   God needed to perform an intervention. The Holy Spirit led Philip to preach the gospel to the eunuch from Africa so that the gospel could be preached to the Gentiles. Notice that God's call to Philip was the same as God's call to Paul. When the Lord appeared to Paul, He clearly said to him, "Make haste and get out of Jerusalem quickly, because they will not accept your testimony about me." (Acts 22:18); "Go, for I will send you far away to the Gentiles." (Acts 22:21). This story of Philip's evangelism paves the way for Paul's appearance.   Philip preaches the gospel to the eunuch   Beginning in Acts 9, the ministries of Peter and Paul became intertwined. Peter's ministry represented the first generation of apostles, while Paul's ministry represented the second generation of apostles. The story of Philip recorded in Acts 8 concludes the story of evangelists like Stephen and Philip. Although Acts 21 briefly mentions Philip, the account focuses primarily on Paul's ministry.   As I mentioned earlier, the Jerusalem apostles went to Samaria for a time, and then returned to Jerusalem. They found it difficult to leave Jerusalem. Acts 8:1 says, "On that day a great persecution against the church in Jerusalem, and they were all scattered throughout the regions of Judea and Samaria, except the apostles." The apostles had seen God's work and His signs and wonders in Samaria. So why didn't they leave Jerusalem and preach the gospel to Gentile lands? This question is worth pondering.   Just like the apostles found it difficult to break free from Jerusalem, we often find it difficult to break through geographical limitations and limiting mindsets. When we become leaders, we often unknowingly protect our own interests and traditions. It is difficult for us to accept God's new leading. Therefore, God often raises up new people or ordinary people to bring in His new movement.   In this chapter, Philip is open to the leading of the Holy Spirit. The angel said to him, "Rise and go toward the south to the road that goes down from Jerusalem to Gaza." (Acts 8:26). Philip left the beaten track, followed the leading of the Holy Spirit, and went to a place along the wilderness road from Jerusalem to Gaza. There he met a eunuch who had just gone back to Ethiopia after worshipping in Jerusalem. Verse 29 specifically mentions, "the Spirit said to Philip, ‘Go over and join this chariot.'” This eunuch may have been a Jew living in a Gentile land, or a Gentile longing for God. We have no way of knowing because the Bible does not say. But Philip following the leading of the Holy Spirit, indirectly introduced the gospel to Africa. This story confirms that the book of Acts could be aptly named “The Acts of the Holy Spirit,” because it records the work of the Holy Spirit.   But the work of the Holy Spirit requires us to cooperate with Him. And we have free will. We can choose to cooperate with the Holy Spirit or resist him. So to a certain extent, the characters in the Bible can be divided into two types - those who resist the Holy Spirit and those who obey him. May we all obey the Holy Spirit and be greatly used by the Lord.   [1] All Scripture quotations are taken from the English Standard Version unless otherwise noted.

A lot of people get disgusted with the word “management” and they would often argue one should always be a leader, not a manager. They always want to make this distinction between management and leadership – as if one were bad and the other was good.  And so, one of the largest mistakes within an organization is that people don't have someone who will manage anymore because they only want leaders. The fact is, we need both these two. We need great managers just as much as we need great leaders.  In today’s episode, Nicky J. Davies joins us, along with our very own Dr. Stephen Crawford – two leaders and visionaries – as they discuss the core of leadership. And part of leadership is to recognize that managers matter just as much as leaders do.  Both Stephen and Nicky have extensive backgrounds in executive coaching and corporate training, each having served in the U.S. and around the world. Today’s discussion is around helping leaders and mid-level managers become the best versions of themselves through inspired leadership.  In this episode, you will hear: How can a manager juggle their competing priorities effectively? Why we need both leaders and managers in an organization The reason some people are disengaged and what you can do as a leader Steps a leader can take to activate a person’s full potential Why motivation is a symptom and understanding a person’s high-priority values How to operate in balance – between disconnection and micromanagement The biggest challenge managers have faced during with the impacts of COVID-19 and the opportunities we’re seeing How to avoid Zoom fatigue The next best step for a manager to level up their leadership Subscribe and Review Share your thoughts and ideas with us and email me at stephen@experienceleadership.com.
