Luke brings his favourite film this month, it's Chariots of Fire.

Psalm 19,The heavens declare the glory of God, and the sky above proclaims his handiwork.2 Day to day pours out speech, and night to night reveals knowledge.3 There is no speech, nor are there words, whose voice is not heard.4 Their voice goes out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world.In them he has set a tent for the sun,5 which comes out like a bridegroom leaving his chamber, and, like a strong man, runs its course with joy.6 Its rising is from the end of the heavens, and its circuit to the end of them, and there is nothing hidden from its heat.7 The law of the Lord is perfect, reviving the soul;the testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple;8 the precepts of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart;the commandment of the Lord is pure, enlightening the eyes;9 the fear of the Lord is clean, enduring forever;the rules of the Lord are true, and righteous altogether.10 More to be desired are they than gold, even much fine gold;sweeter also than honey and drippings of the honeycomb.11 Moreover, by them is your servant warned; in keeping them there is great reward.12 Who can discern his errors? Declare me innocent from hidden faults.13 Keep back your servant also from presumptuous sins; let them not have dominion over me!Then I shall be blameless, and innocent of great transgression.14 Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in your sight, O Lord, my rock and my redeemer. I'm calling this message, “Foundations for the Future of Cities Church.” There are more than two foundational pillars of this church. But I'm going to focus on two because Psalm 19 focuses on two. The first foundation is the glory of God. The second foundation is the word of God. And these two foundations answer the questions, “What is ultimate reality?”—the glory of God, and “What is ultimate truth?”—the word of God. And what we will see is that the glory of God and the word of God find a perfect, personal union in the Son of God Jesus Christ, our Rock and our Redeemer: “The Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth” (John 1:14). If you're a child listening to me right now, you might be thinking, “Wow, that's a lot of big words. I'm not sure this sermon is going to be for me.” Listen carefully as I point something out. Every child I'm aware of who has been taught along the way that there is a great God who made everything, eventually asks, “Daddy, who made God?” “Where did God come from?” Which is the same as asking, “What is ultimate reality?” This sermon is about the questions of children. The great questions are children's questions. When a child is taught very early, “You must always tell the truth. You should never lie. Don't ever say something is true when it's not true.” Sooner or later a child is going to ask, “Daddy, who decides what's true?” And that's the same as asking, “What is ultimate truth?”By reality I mean what is. And by ultimate reality I mean what has always been, and which defines all of reality, namely the glory of God. God never had a beginning. He has always been there. And he has always been glorious. Ultimate reality is glorious, because God is glorious – infinitely great, infinitely beautiful, infinitely valuable. Everything else, including the entire universe, and 8 billion human beings, is secondary, dependent, derivative. Ultimate reality is the glory of God.By truth I mean reliable communication of what is, and what ought to be. And what ought to be is defined by what is, which is why God said, “You shall be holy because I am holy” (1 Peter 1:16). Holy is what I ought to be. Why? Because ultimate reality is holy. And what ought to be is determined by what ultimately is. “You shall be holy because I am holy.”I was led to choose Psalm 19 as the focus of this message largely because I am so burdened by the prevalence today of a kind of Christian who does not like to think in terms of ultimate reality and ultimate truth. They are allergic to those categories. They are kept at a distance and in their place are malleable, fuzzy ideas of tolerance, acceptance, love, justice, compassion, respect, openness. But as soon as you bring ultimate truth or ultimate reality to bear on any of those ideas so as to give them some measure of definition and clarity there is resistance. Truth and reality are felt to be a kind of straight jacket, limitation, constriction, restraint. Even though Jesus said, “You will know the truth, and the truth will set you free . . . . So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed” (John 8:32, 36). So the burden that I bring this morning is to say, Cities Church, if the ultimate reality of the glory of God and the ultimate truth of the word of God cease to be the cherished pillars of this church, you will cease to be a true church. And if the kind of Christian that is allergic to ultimate truth and ultimate reality and the clarity and the definition and the doctrine that flows from them gravitate into the eldership of this church, that will be the beginning of the end. I believe you have a body of elders now that get this just right. Follow them as they follow Christ. Exult joyfully in the ultimate reality of the glory of God. Exult joyfully in the ultimate truth of the word of God. And exalt personally and gladly in the perfect union of the glory of God and the word of God in the son of God our rock and our redeemer Jesus Christ. You will see in just a moment why I stress the words, “joyfully,” and “gladly.”Now turn with me to Psalm 19. And if you think that was a long introduction, in fact it was exposition of this chapter. Everything I have just said flowed from my meditations on this chapter and I believe is explicit or implicit in Psalm 19. We have not been spinning our wheels.Verses 1-6 is about the ultimate reality of the glory of God. Verses 7-11 is about the ultimate truth of the word of God. And verses 12-14 is David's response climaxing in the reference to the Lord as he is Rock and his Redeemer.1. What Is Ultimate Reality?The heavens declare the glory of God, and the sky above proclaims his handiwork. 2 Day to day pours out speech, and night to night reveals knowledge. 3 There is no speech, nor are there words, whose voice is not heard. 4 Their voice goes out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world. In them he has set a tent for the sun, 5 which comes out like a bridegroom leaving his chamber, and, like a strong man, runs its course with joy. 6 Its rising is from the end of the heavens, and its circuit to the end of them, and there is nothing hidden from its heat. (Psalm 19:1–6) What's the point of those six verses? There is not a single word there about you or me or any human being. Those verses are entirely about God and how his glory is revealed. What is David doing? He is answering the question: what is ultimate reality? What is behind the universe? What's the point of the stars and the moon and the sun and everything we see? And his answer is: The point of the universe is to declare that God is glorious. And to proclaim that a glorious God built this with his hands. Sometimes you will hear a skeptic say, “If Christianity is true, why are there billions of light years of space and as far as we know trillions of uninhabitable stars many of which are millions of times bigger than the sun, while earth and its history is a tiny blue dot in the midst of this wild, vast universe of unimaginable power?” The message of the universe is not first about us. It's about God. In fact, since David said he built this with his hands, and psalm eight says he did it with his fingers, we may conclude it was easy, and is very much like a peanut that he carries in his pocket. The point of the universe is that God is glorious.Verses 1-2 speak of the heavens declaring and proclaiming and pouring out speech, all of which sounds as if we are supposed to hear something. But verse 3 clarifies: “There is no speech, nor are their words.” This is a wordless declaration, a speechless proclamation. Then that last phrase in verse 3 (“whose voice is not heard”) I think means something like this: The heavens have a voice, but it is not a heard voice. It's a seen voice. Because he goes right on to say in verse 4 their voice goes out through all the earth and their words to the end of the world. A voice without speech, words without words. And there is no limit to this voice that we hear with our eyes—this declaration, this proclamation that we hear by seeing the work of God's hands. You remember the way Paul picked this up in Romans 1:20, “God's invisible attributes, namely, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived . . . in the things that have been made” (Rom 1:20).Then, perhaps most amazing of all, from the end of verse 4 through verse 5 David zeros in on the sun. And what he says about the way the sun proclaims the glory of God is mind-boggling.“In them he has set a tent for the sun, which comes out like a bridegroom leaving his chamber, and, like a strong man, runs its course with joy.”When you look at the declaration of the glory of God in the rising of the sun to its setting, what you are to see is a glory — a divine glory — that is like a bridegroom coming out of his tent and walking toward his wedding. What you are to see is a glory — a divine glory — that is like a strong runner who loves to run and therefore runs with joy. Picture Eric Liddell, Chariots of Fire, head back, arms flailing, smile on his face, feeling a joyful pleasure of God on his life.What's the point? I mean stop and think, this is amazing. This is mind-boggling. What else can the message be but that when you rightly see the glory of God it is an ecstatically happy glory. Happiness in God who thought this up, to make it this way. And happiness in us if we rightly see and savor the revelation of God's glory. I remember the night of December 20, 1968, lying alone on my bed in the motel room in Barnesville, Georgia, the night before I was to marry Noël, and thinking tomorrow morning is the day I have wanted for two and a half years. And I was so happy. Still am.If you see the glory of God as it really is, this will be part your experience—the enjoyment of the glorious overflow of God's joy. And David is not ignorant, nor was Jesus, of the horrible suffering of this world. Jesus said that God makes the sun rise on the evil and the good. David wrote before antibiotics, before anesthesia, before any knowledge of infection, before motors, or electricity, or refrigeration, or indoor plumbing, or central heating, or air conditioning, or 911. It was a hard and brutal world. And in spite of everything, when he looked up at the rising of the sun he saw a bridegroom on his way to his wedding, and a man running with joy. That's why I said, “Cities Church, exult joyfully in the ultimate reality of the glory of God.”2. What Is Ultimate Truth?Now we turn to verses 7-11 which focus on the ultimate truth of God's word. How are verses 7-11 with their focus on the ultimate truth of God's word, connected to verses 1-6 with their focus on the ultimate reality of the glory of God? There is more than one right answer to that question. One answer is that verses 7-11 are written to answer the question: “What if I look at the heavens and I don't experience the glory of God and the gladness of a bridegroom or a happy runner? Is there something wrong with my eyes? Is there something inadequate about the heavens?” And I think David's answer to those two questions is yes. God's revelation of himself in nature is inadequate for all that God wants us to know and experience of his glory. And yes, there is something wrong with our eyes, and looking at nature cannot fix it, but the written word of God can. As I read these verses look for six ways the written word of God is named, nine ways the word of God is described, and seven ways the word of God affects the reader.The law (instruction) of the Lord is perfect, reviving the soul; the testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple; 8 the precepts of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart; the commandment of the Lord is pure, enlightening the eyes; 9 the fear of the Lord [viewed as the focus and aim of the word] is clean, enduring forever; the rules of the Lord are true, and righteous altogether. 10 More to be desired are they than gold, even much fine gold; sweeter also than honey and drippings of the honeycomb. 11 Moreover, by them is your servant warned; in keeping them there is great reward. He names God's word as law (instruction), testimony (God's witness), precepts, commandments, fear, and rules. He takes the one diamond, the word of God, Scripture, and turns it so six of it's facets show. Then he describes it. God's word is perfect, sure, right, pure, clean, true, righteous, more precious than gold, sweeter than honey. In other words: It is complete, it contains all you need as a reader or a listener in order to know God as he ought to be known. It is flawless and will never mislead you. It is precious beyond estimation, because in its completeness and flawlessness—more valuable than the most valuable thing on earth, and sweeter than the sweetest thing on earth. And then he gives the amazing effects of this word on us. It revives (v. 7a). It gives life. You, O Lord, have the words of life. It makes the simple wise (v. 7b), keeps you from being a fool. It creates joy in the heart (v. 8a) for example, when it goes beyond sunshine, and shows the final meaning of the bridegroom and the runner. So the ultimate reality of God's glory and the ultimate truth of God's word are both joyful. They both are designed by God to make us glad forever. It enlightens the eyes (v. 8b)—which many of us need when we look at God's glory in nature, because we don't see the bridegroom exulting or the runner rejoicing. It endures forever (v.9a) and will never let you down. It keeps back from sin (v. 11a) and leads to final great reward (v. 11b).In other words, God's communication in his Word is fuller and more effective than God's communication in nature. Both are good and do what they were appointed to do. But the Word is better. I called the glory of God in verses 1-6 ultimate reality because the point of those verses was that the glory of God is why the universe exists. The glorious God was there before anything else. Everything else exists because of God to show the glory of God, and therefore the glory of God is ultimate. There is nothing before or under or over the glory of God. It is ultimate reality.And the reason I call the word of God ultimate truth in verses 7-11 is because of the sixfold repetition: law of the Lord, testimony of the Lord, precepts of the Lord, commandment of the Lord, fear of the Lord, rules of the Lord. Nothing is repeated more often than this. The word, the Scriptures are from God and about God and for God. And God is ultimate. He speaks the truth (v. 9), and since he is God the truth he speaks is ultimate truth.Cities Church, these are two absolutely essential foundations for your future. The glory of God as ultimate reality and the word of God as ultimate truth. Without these you will not be a true church. But there is a paradox here. When a church embraces the glory of God and the word of God as a treasure better than gold and the sweetness better than honey two things happen: joy overflows like a bridegroom coming out of his tent, and humble brokenheartedness bounds. The more clearly you see the beauty of God's holiness, his glory, and more deeply you are pierced by the living word of God, the happier you will be because of him, and the sadder you will be because of yourself. The more sweetly you embrace the glory of God, the more keenly you are aware of impurities in yourself. Other words at the end of verses 1-11, we need a Redeemer.We Need a RedeemerLet's read verses 12-14,Who can discern his errors? Declare me innocent from hidden faults. 13 Keep back your servant also from presumptuous sins; let them not have dominion over me! Then I shall be blameless, and innocent of great transgression. 14 Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in your sight, O Lord, my rock and my redeemer. The last word of the Psalm, in Hebrew and English, is “Redeemer.” Justification by faith was a reality in the Old Testament. The apostle Paul based his teaching on Abraham. That's what David means when he says in verse 12, “Declare me innocent from hidden faults.” People who are not innocent in the presence of God's glory need to be declared innocent. You do. I do. But for God to be just and yet declare guilty people to be innocent there needs to be a Redeemer. A very special kind of Redeemer. So God's word teaches us in Romans 3 that God put Jesus Christ forward as a Redeemer because God had passed over former sins like David's, and so that he could pass over ours and declare us innocent and keep us back from the sin that leads to death.The Old Testament sacrifices, the Old Testament priests, could not do it. The glory of God and the word of God need to be more then the voice of nature and the voice of scripture. They needed to become a redeemer—a perfect personal union of the glory of God and the word of God. And that's who Jesus Christ is. John 1:14, “The Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father.”So there is a third foundational pillar for Cities Church. The first is that ultimate reality is the glory of God. The second is that ultimate truth is the word of God. And the third is that ultimate reality and ultimate truth came to us in Jesus Christ our Redeemer.Therefore, Cities Church, on your tenth anniversary, declare this: We will be built on and we will rejoice in the foundations of the glory of God and the word of God and the son of God as a treasure “more to be desired are they than gold, even much fine gold; sweeter also than honey and drippings of the honeycomb.”

In the first half, SkyWatch TV host and author Derek Gilbert discussed the origins of the 'Ancient Aliens' hypothesis and revealed a chain of evidence that links together Aleister Crowley, horror fiction author H.P. Lovecraft, and Erich Von Däniken. These links were originally proposed by researchers Peter Levenda and Jason Colavito, he pointed out. Gilbert elaborated on how Lovecraft's themes inspired two French sci-fi authors who delved into such mysteries as who built the pyramids, ancient glyphs, and the Nazca Lines, and this in turn seemed to directly inform Von Däniken's central thesis in "Chariots of the Gods" (1968), that technologies and religions of many ancient civilizations were given to them by ancient astronauts or ETs.Gilbert detailed Lovecraft's complex relationship with theosophy and the occult, noting, "Lovecraft considered himself an atheist and a man of science, but he was more than happy to draw on teachings of people like Helena Blavatsky." He also highlighted the mystical connections between Lovecraft's work and Crowley's magical beliefs. According to Gilbert, Kenneth Grant, Crowley's associate, suggested that Lovecraft was not creating things out of his own imagination but rather was hearing from the same supernatural source as Crowley, specifically concerning a plot device invented by Lovecraft called the Necronomicon (a grimoire of forbidden knowledge or spells). Grant believed this book actually existed in the Akashic records and that Crowley and Blavatsky were accessing it through occult practices.On the topic of ancient aliens, Crowley, in 1907, described a huge tentacled creature in the ocean's abyss, similar to the chaos monster of the Greeks. This was similar to how, some 20 years later, Lovecraft portrayed Cthulhu, the ancient cosmic entity worshiped by cultists. Gilbert also touched on such topics as ET entities called The Nine, the government group known as the Collins Elite, and Ezekiel's wheel.------------In the latter half, paranormal investigator and researcher Kate Ray spoke about her deep fascination with the supernatural, particularly fairies, which have become one of her subjects of expertise. When asked about the connection between fairies and ghosts, she explained her journey from traditional paranormal research to recognizing the presence of fairies in haunted properties. "The more I collected evidence, both in folklore and my own experiences, the more my colleagues and peers took my journey seriously," she reflected. Addressing the physicality of fairies, Ray suggested that while they could be considered etherical or spiritual beings, they have the ability to shape-shift and appear in different guises, perhaps changing from a very small being into human or animal form.The fairies are known to have a rather mischievous streak to the point that they can seem malevolent in their interactions with humans, she continued, adding they don't share the same system of values and morals that we have. Ray observed an increase in fairy interactions during the COVID lockdown as more people sought solace in nature and turned inward. Yet, she cautioned listeners about summoning fairies, stating that if you wish upon a fairy, "do so with caution and some kind of payment," as well as urging respect for nature, as she links fairies to environmental issues. She also spoke about her experience on the television show "Help My House is Haunted," where she utilized remote viewing techniques to connect with a "pixie-type character" causing poltergeist activity in a home.

In the first half, SkyWatch TV host and author Derek Gilbert discussed the origins of the 'Ancient Aliens' hypothesis and revealed a chain of evidence that links together Aleister Crowley, horror fiction author H.P. Lovecraft, and Erich Von Däniken. These links were originally proposed by researchers Peter Levenda and Jason Colavito, he pointed out. Gilbert elaborated on how Lovecraft's themes inspired two French sci-fi authors who delved into such mysteries as who built the pyramids, ancient glyphs, and the Nazca Lines, and this in turn seemed to directly inform Von Däniken's central thesis in "Chariots of the Gods" (1968), that technologies and religions of many ancient civilizations were given to them by ancient astronauts or ETs. Gilbert detailed Lovecraft's complex relationship with theosophy and the occult, noting, "Lovecraft considered himself an atheist and a man of science, but he was more than happy to draw on teachings of people like Helena Blavatsky." He also highlighted the mystical connections between Lovecraft's work and Crowley's magical beliefs. According to Gilbert, Kenneth Grant, Crowley's associate, suggested that Lovecraft was not creating things out of his own imagination but rather was hearing from the same supernatural source as Crowley, specifically concerning a plot device invented by Lovecraft called the Necronomicon (a grimoire of forbidden knowledge or spells). Grant believed this book actually existed in the Akashic records and that Crowley and Blavatsky were accessing it through occult practices. On the topic of ancient aliens, Crowley, in 1907, described a huge tentacled creature in the ocean's abyss, similar to the chaos monster of the Greeks. This was similar to how, some 20 years later, Lovecraft portrayed Cthulhu, the ancient cosmic entity worshiped by cultists. Gilbert also touched on such topics as ET entities called The Nine, the government group known as the Collins Elite, and Ezekiel's wheel. ------------ In the latter half, paranormal investigator and researcher Kate Ray spoke about her deep fascination with the supernatural, particularly fairies, which have become one of her subjects of expertise. When asked about the connection between fairies and ghosts, she explained her journey from traditional paranormal research to recognizing the presence of fairies in haunted properties.

In this series we will be reading through the Psalms one by one and pointing out cool stuff along the way. The goal is to help get the Psalms into our theological landscape so that they help form our outlook as they have done for God's people for nearly 3,000 years.

Thus he used to warn him, so that he saved himself there more than once or twice. 11 And the mind of the king of Syria was greatly troubled because of this thing, and he called his servants and said to them, “Will you not show me who of us is for the king of Israel?” 12 And one of his servants said, “None, my lord, O king; but Elisha, the prophet who is in Israel, tells the king of Israel the words that you speak in your bedroom.” 13 And he said, “Go and see where he is, that I may send and seize him.” It was told him, “Behold, he is in Dothan.” 14 So he sent there horses and chariots and a great army, and they came by night and surrounded the city. 15 When the servant of the man of God rose early in the morning and went out, behold, an army with horses and chariots was all around the city. And the servant said, “Alas, my master! What shall we do?” 16 He said, “Do not be afraid, for those who are with us are more than those who are with them.” 17 Then Elisha prayed and said, “O Lord, please open his eyes that he may see.” So the Lord opened the eyes of the young man, and he saw, and behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire all around Elisha. 18 And when the Syrians came down against him, Elisha prayed to the Lord and said, “Please strike this people with blindness.” So he struck them with blindness in accordance with the prayer of Elisha. 19 And Elisha said to them, “This is not the way, and this is not the city. Follow me, and I will bring you to the man whom you seek.” And he led them to Samaria. 20 As soon as they entered Samaria, Elisha said, “O Lord, open the eyes of these men, that they may see.” So the Lord opened their eyes and they saw, and behold, they were in the midst of Samaria. 21 As soon as the king of Israel saw them, he said to Elisha, “My father, shall I strike them down? Shall I strike them down?” 22 He answered, “You shall not strike them down. Would you strike down those whom you have taken captive with your sword and with your bow? Set bread and water before them, that they may eat and drink and go to their master.” 23 So he prepared for them a great feast, and when they had eaten and drunk, he sent them away, and they went to their master. And the Syrians did not come again on raids into the land of Israel.

What if the ancient visions of Zechariah could illuminate our understanding of justice and redemption today? Explore the symbolic narrative of a flying woman in a basket from Zechariah chapter 5, where profound elements like an ephah basket and stork-like wings intertwine with themes of wickedness and divine intervention. Discover how this vision signifies God's commitment to purging evil and critique unethical practices, drawing connections to the prophet Amos's condemnations of Israel's deceitful commercial habits. Dive into the captivating realm of Zechariah chapter six, where four chariots emerge as divine instruments, observing and executing God's wrath across the earth, signaling a future of peace and justice. These ancient war engines not only symbolize swift judgment but also resonate with themes of love and redemption. Through this exploration, Christians are reassured of salvation from divine wrath through Jesus's ultimate sacrifice. Expect an engaging journey through the symbolic universe of Zechariah as we tackle the thematic pillars of judgment and restoration.Support the show

What were the world's ancestral stories before they became viewed as fiction and fable? What was the Bible before it became a book about God? And if the Bible was not about God, what was it our ancestors wanted us to know?The Eden Conspiracy reveals evidence of ancient ET contact in the Bible's deep past, along with forgotten secrets about human progress, political power, emotional intelligence and human potential. This book will take you around the world from Australia to Brazil, Guatemala, Ghana, Kenya, Italy, Scotland, England, Israel, Palestine, and ancient Sumeria. The Eden Conspiracy visits archeological sites in the Levant which hold clues of ancient experiences of close encounters, and sits at the feet of world-class scholars and senior figures in military intelligence, whose privileged information concerns the hidden layers of covert government in the deep past and in the present day.The Eden Conspiracy reveals how we can recover our ancestors' wisdom and build a better future. It lifts the lid on why this layer of information was edited and translated out of the Bible? Who made these changes, how, when, and with what agenda? And what does any of this have to do with ETs?Paul Anthony Wallis is an internationally Bestselling Author, whose books probe the world's ancestral narratives for their insight into human origins, human potential and our place in the cosmos.

Linen wrapping. Expensive resins. Sarcophagi. Preserving for eternity – or until someone raids their tomb. It's a brand-new Spooktober episode with not one but two guests: Dr. Salima Ikram is a professor of Egyptology and expert on mummification of both people and animals, and is joined by veteran guest from the Egyptology episode, professor and author Dr. Kara Cooney. The two chat about mummification techniques, how food studies lead into the pyramids, controversy over the word “mummy,” whiffing the dead, socioeconomic factors in mummification, animal mummies, lingering mysteries, field work, a house mouse, and more. Next week in Part 2 we'll dive into more ethics of collections, human sacrifice, the people who ate mummified remains, paint colors, coffin engravings and the meaning of “magic.” Visit Dr. Cooney's website and follow her on Instagram, X, YouTube, and FacebookGet Kara's latest book, Recycling for Death: Coffin Reuse in Ancient Egypt and the Theban Royal Caches, and browse her other books on Amazon or Bookshop.orgSubscribe to Kara's Substack Ancient/NowVisit Dr. Ikram's website and follow her on FacebookGet Salima's latest book, Let a Cow-Skin Be Brought: Armour, Chariots and Other Leather Remains in Tutankhamun's Tomb, and browse her other books on Amazon or Bookshop.orgDonations went to the Yellowhammer Fund and Doctors Without BordersMore episode sources and linksSmologies (short, classroom-safe) episodesOther episodes you may enjoy: Egyptology (ANCIENT EGYPT), Taphology (GRAVESITES), Desairology (MORTUARY MAKE-UP), Thanatology (DEATH & DYING), Ambystomology (AXOLOTLS … AND LIMB REGROWTH?), Melaninology (SKIN/HAIR PIGMENT), Spooktober episodes of the pastSponsors of OlogiesTranscripts and bleeped episodesBecome a patron of Ologies for as little as a buck a monthOlogiesMerch.com has hats, shirts, hoodies, totes!Follow @Ologies on Instagram and XFollow @AlieWard on Instagram and XEditing by Mercedes Maitland of Maitland Audio Productions and Jacob ChaffeeManaging Director: Susan HaleScheduling Producer: Noel DilworthTranscripts by Aveline Malek Website by Kelly R.
