Can We Communicate with Angels?Should human beings seek angelic encounters, initiating conversations with these celestial beings? Surprisingly, some Christian teachers insist that communicating with angels using this method is a legitimate approach. New Agers celebrate this practice, even encouraging the use of Angel Cards. Is this a wonderful opportunity or a dangerous deception?

Heaven's standard for “greatness” is much different than earth's. In this world, the rich, the famous, the popular, the knowledgeable, the influential, the successful are often the ones labeled “the great.” Although these attributes do not disqualify anyone from becoming part of God's family, they are definitely not the dominant traits He looks for. Remember, Jesus set a humble child in their midst and talked about this mystery.Ministry website: www.shreveministries.org Comparative religion website: www.thetruelight.net The “Catholic Project” website: www.toCatholicswithlove.org Video channel: www.YouTube.com/mikeshreveministries All audio-podcasts are shared in a video format on our YouTube channel.

Can human beings direct angels to do their bidding? Some Bible teachers say that Christians can and should. Angels are ministering spirits sent forth to minister to and for the heirs of salvation, so shouldn't we exert some kind of authority over them? Is believing in this doctrine an open door leading to a higher level of supernatural living or is it a Pandora's box that could result in chaos and demonic deception?Comparative religion website: www.thetruelight.net Ministry website: www.shreveministries.org The Catholic Project website: www.toCatholicswithlove.org Video channel: www.YouTube.com/mikeshreveministries All audio-podcasts are shared in a video format on our YouTube channel.

In this episode, Divya speaks with Sean Fox and Gregory Randolph about urbanization and how it is unfolding amid global shocks and affecting inequality. Sean Fox is a Professor of Geography and Global Development at the University of Bristol. His research focuses on the causes and consequences of global urbanization, the political economy of urban governance, and sustainable city futures. Gregory Randolph is an Assistant Professor in the School of City and Regional Planning at Georgia Tech. His work focuses on how local economies and urbanization patterns are being reshaped by 21st-century transitions namely technological, energy and demographic transitions, with a particular focus on inequality. Together, Sean and Gregory offer rich interdisciplinary insights that challenge conventional understandings of urbanization, showing that urbanization is not just about the growth of cities or a straightforward shift from rural to urban. Rather, it's a geo-demographic transformation that is deeply embedded in political, social, and economic processes. The conversation also sheds light on the hidden stories of urbanization in the global south for example, the stories of migration in the indian state of Bihar where Gregory has been working, deindustrialization, regional divergence, and the hollowing out of labor markets and how these processes contribute to interpersonal and inter-place inequalities. This episode was recorded at a time when massive wildfires in Los Angeles were making headlines everywhere, prompting a timely question for our guests: What should planners be thinking about as they rebuild cities after disasters? Both Sean and Gregory voiced serious concern about the increasing frequency and scale of natural disasters and how such events are amplifying pre-existing inequalities. They emphasized that recovery and rebuilding cannot be the task of planners alone. It must also be a political project—one that demands bold, inclusive, and forward-thinking political leadership committed to building cities that account for vulnerability, address structural inequalities, and prioritize resilience for all. Sean and Gregory are both compelling storytellers, and their work offers a grounded and timely lens on how urbanization is evolving in a world marked by rising uncertainties and deepening inequalities, and I am extremely grateful to have had the opportunity to engage with them and their brilliant & relevant scholarship   References:  Fox, S., & Goodfellow, T.

God's people are described as “sons of the mighty” in Psalm 89:6. Our Father is the Almighty (the all-powerful, all-sufficient God). The Holy Spirit is the “Spirit of might” who dwells within us, strengthening us with “might” in the inner man. We have weapons of warfare that are “mighty through God.” No wonder we are even called “the mighty.” Overcoming this world and its darkness is simply part of our spiritual DNA. Powerful revelation!

Christians often assign the image of a ferocious lion to Satan while envisioning themselves as defenseless, vulnerable lambs. However, the image of a lion is used far more often to describe the Messiah and His covenant people than the prince of darkness. Once we truly hear the roar of the Lion of Judah, we will be awakened to our own lion calling, manifesting this symbol of bravery, fearlessness, dominion, and victory.Ministry website: www.shreveministries.org Comparative religion website: www.thetruelight.net The “Catholic Project” website: www.toCatholicswithlove.org Video channel: www.YouTube.com/mikeshreveministries All audio-podcasts are shared in a video format on our YouTube channel.

The term “New Age” is drawn from Astrology, based on the false, cosmological idea that the sun passes through twelve houses in its journey around the earth. Those who subscribe to this concept believe we are on the cusp of “The Age of Aquarius,” supposedly a “new age” of enlightenment and peace on planet Earth. Is this the same as the biblical concept of a coming Kingdom Age when the Messiah (Jesus) will reign over a restored paradise world?

Christians have inherited eight famous biblical mountains! Well, not literally, but figuratively. These “mountains” are high points in the spiritual history of humanity, times of divine intervention, when God came down to earth and lifted His people into “peak revelations” of His redemptive plan. Usually, these events happened on literal physical mountains, so the natural setting symbolized a deep spiritual reality. What a powerful revelation!Ministry website: www.shreveministries.org Comparative religion website: www.thetruelight.net The “Catholic Project” website: www.toCatholicswithlove.org Video channel: www.YouTube.com/mikeshreveministries audio-podcasts are shared in a video format on our YouTube channel.

The New Age Movement is a term that covers a lot of territory spiritually. It can reach all the way to the left, embracing dark belief systems like Wicca, paganism, and Satanism. It can also reach all the way to the right, embracing things like success seminars and positive thinking programs that don't even promote a concept of God, yet incorporate certain New Age principles. This movement is one of three primary global influences preparing the world for the Antichrist, so you need to understand these truths.Comparative religion website: www.thetruelight.net Ministry website: www.shreveministries.org The Catholic Project website: www.toCatholicswithlove.org Video channel: www.YouTube.com/mikeshreveministries All audio-podcasts are shared in a video format on our YouTube channel.

This conversation delves into the complexities of fault allocation in tort law, exploring the historical context of contributory negligence, the shift to comparative negligence, and the implications of several versus joint liability. It discusses the nuances of assumption of risk, the treatment of children in negligence cases, and the intersection of strict liability with comparative fault. The conversation also highlights the psychological aspects of negligent conduct, the economic versus fairness debates in tort law, and the critical role of legal representation in navigating these intricate legal waters.TakeawaysUnderstanding fault allocation is crucial for aspiring lawyers.Contributory negligence can bar recovery even with minor plaintiff fault.The last clear chance doctrine mitigates harshness in contributory negligence.Comparative negligence allows for proportional recovery based on fault.Several liability means each defendant pays their share of fault.Assumption of risk can limit or bar recovery for plaintiffs.Children are judged by a different standard of care in negligence cases.Strict liability can still involve comparative fault considerations.Intentional torts typically do not allow for comparative fault defenses.Legal representation is essential in navigating complex tort law cases.

Just before ascending to heaven, Jesus revealed a primary name, a powerful title, that would rest upon His New Covenant followers. He declared, “You shall be My witnesses.” How needful this is! Witnesses are those who verify a story because they have personal knowledge about the matter. In a world full of religious deception, those who have personal knowledge of the truth must be outspoken and bold, always ready to penetrate the darkness with light. Those who fulfill this calling join the ranks of world changers and history makers.Ministry website: www.shreveministries.org Comparative religion website: www.thetruelight.net The “Catholic Project” website: www.toCatholicswithlove.org Video channel: www.YouTube.com/mikeshreveministries All audio-podcasts are shared in a video format on our YouTube channel.

In this episode, we delve into the intricate world of negligence, a cornerstone of tort law and a frequent topic in exams. Join us as we explore the essential elements of negligence: duty, breach, causation, and damages. We'll break down complex legal tests, landmark cases like Palsgraf v. Long Island Railroad Co., and practical explanations to equip you with the knowledge needed to tackle challenging negligence questions. Whether you're preparing for a law exam or seeking a deeper understanding of tort law, this episode offers a comprehensive guide to mastering negligence. Tune in to gain insights that will help you confidently navigate the complexities of tort law.The core purpose of damages in a personal injury case is to "make the plaintiff whole." This means financial compensation is provided to, as much as possible, put the injured victim back into the position they would have been in if they had not suffered the injury as a result of the defendant's negligence or intentionally bad actions.General damages compensate for abstract, non-financial losses like emotional and physical pain, while special damages repay concrete, financial losses. An example of general damages is pain and suffering, while an example of special damages is past and ongoing medical bills.Punitive damages are awarded to punish defendants for wanton, reckless, or malicious acts, and to discourage similar behavior in the future. They are normally only allowed in negligence cases where the defendant's conduct was more than just ordinary negligence, such as drunk driving.A duty of care is a legal obligation for a defendant to act with a particular standard of conduct to protect others from unreasonable risk of harm. This means all individuals have a general duty to exercise reasonable care to avoid foreseeable harm to others.The "reasonable person standard" is an objective test that asks how a hypothetical, average person of reasonable caution and competence would have behaved under the same circumstances. Courts use this standard to assess whether the defendant's conduct fell below the expected level of care.Actual cause (or cause-in-fact) uses the "but-for" test to determine if the injury would have occurred without the defendant's actions. Proximate cause (or legal cause) is concerned with foreseeability, limiting liability to harms that were a reasonably foreseeable consequence of the defendant's conduct.If the Wright Brothers' invention of the airplane is considered an "actual cause" of 9/11 because the event wouldn't have happened "but for" their invention. However, it is not a "proximate cause" because the 9/11 tragedy was not a reasonably foreseeable consequence of inventing the airplane nearly a century prior.Res ipsa loquitur ("the thing speaks for itself") is a doctrine that allows a jury to infer negligence without direct evidence. It applies when an injury typically doesn't occur without negligence, the instrumentality causing harm was under the defendant's control, and the plaintiff did not contribute to the harm.Comparative negligence reduces a plaintiff's damage award based on their percentage of fault, allowing for some recovery even if partially at fault. Contributory negligence, in contrast, completely bars the plaintiff from recovering any damages if they are found to be even slightly negligent.Two examples of a breach of duty in medical malpractice include a misdiagnosis of a serious condition, such as failing to diagnose cancer despite apparent symptoms, or a medication error, like prescribing an incorrect medication or dosage.

Is it wrong to judge others? Jesus said, “Judge not that you be not judged” (Mt. 7:1). Did the Savior mean we should never offer an opinion challenging the doctrine or lifestyle choices of someone else? Or is the correct interpretation much different? You may be surprised at the answers.Comparative religion website: www.thetruelight.net Ministry website: www.shreveministries.org The Catholic Project website: www.toCatholicswithlove.org Video channel: www.YouTube.com/mikeshreveministries All audio-podcasts are shared in a video format on our YouTube channel.

If you are “in Christ,” the “automatic download” you receive is out of this world (literally). Key biblical phrases like “in Him,” “in Christ,” and “in the Lord” indicate the benefits you receive the moment you become a child of God under the Lordship of Jesus. Ephesians 1:11 declares “in Him we have obtained an inheritance.” But you can't partake of an inheritance until you are aware of it.

Even though it's undeniably...aesthetic-challenged, the naked mole-rat is the envy of the longevity world. Its risk of death barely changes with time; it shrugs off cancer, stays fertile for decades and seems to skip every hallmark of aging that hobbles the rest of us.But why? What evolutionary forces gave a mouse-sized, subterranean rodent near-immunity to aging - and what can its biology teach us about extending healthy human life?Comparative biologist Prof. Rochelle Buffenstein (University of Illinois Chicago) - who has maintained the world's largest captive colonies and authored 200+ papers - joins LEVITY to dissect the evidence.In this episode✅ Rochelle's journey: from Zimbabwe farm kid to the pre-eminent naked mole-rat researcher.✅ Eusocial society: queens, worker castes and lethal succession battles.✅ No Gompertz slope: hard numbers that show mortality risk stays essentially flat for 40 years.✅ Cancer resistance → high-molecular-weight hyaluronan, unusual immune cell profiles.✅ Telomere maintenance and DNA-methylation reversal.✅ Proteostasis on easy-mode: slow translation, durable proteins, super-charged autophagy.✅ What actually kills a mole-rat?✅ Translational angles: small-molecule screens, CRISPR edits, and why funding is still an uphill battle.✅ Other long-lived species worth studying - and how young scientists can break into comparative gerontology.

Today on Speaking Out of Place we have a special episode on the war in Iran. Scholars and activists Persis Karim and Manijeh Moradian discuss both the Iranian national issues involved as well as the regional context, connecting this war with the genocide in Gaza and Israel's extensive wars elsewhere. At stake is both Iranian sovereignty and the calls for so-called “regime change.” We question the use of that term, delve into how the struggle for liberation in Iran rejects both the repressive Islamic state and the US/Israeli war machine.  Our discussion draws the frightening parallels between Iran's stifling of dissent and imprisonment of political enemies and others with our own government's.  Finally, we recall the Woman, Life, Freedom movement and build hope for international solidarity with groups working for liberation in Iran, Palestine, and elsewhere, and insist liberation will never be achieved by dropping bombs.                Persis Karim teaches in the Department of Humanities and Comparative and World Literature at San Francisco State University. She was the creator and director of the Center for Iranian Diaspora Studies during its entire existence there. Since 1999, she has been actively working to expand the field of Iranian Diaspora Studies, beginning with the first anthology of Iranian writing she co-edited, A World Between: Poems, Short Stories and Essays by Iranian-Americans. She is the editor of two other anthologies of Iranian diaspora literature: Let Me Tell You Where I've Been: New Writing by Women of the Iranian Diaspora, and Tremors: New Fiction by Iranian-American Writers. Before coming to San Francisco State, she was a professor of English & Comparative Literature at San Jose State where she was the founder and director of the Persian Studies program, and coordinator of the Middle East Studies Minor. She has published numerous articles about Iranian diaspora literature and culture for academic publications including Iranian Studies, Comparative Studies of South Asian, African and Middle East Studies (CSSAMES), and MELUS: Multi-Ethnic Literatures of the United States. “The Dawn is Too Far: Stories of Iranian-American Life,” is her first film project (co-directed and co-produced with Soumyaa Behrens). She received her Master's in Middle East Studies and her Ph.D. in Comparative Literature from UT Austin. She is also a poet.Manijeh Moradian is assistant professor of Women's, Gender and Sexuality Studies at Barnard College, Columbia University. Her book, This Flame Within: Iranian Revolutionaries in the United States, was published by Duke University Press in December 2022.  She has published widely including in American Quarterly, Journal of Asian American Studies, Scholar & Feminist online, and Women's Studies Quarterly. She is a founding member of the Raha Iranian Feminist Collective and on the editorial board of the Jadaliyya.com Iran Page.

Universal reconciliation is the concept that everything will ultimately be reconciled to God. The Scripture declares “the mystery” of God's will is to finally “gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven and which are on earth”? (Eph. 1:9-10) Does that mean literally everything, including all sinners, even Satan himself and all his fallen angels, will finally be restored to a right relationship with God? This is a challenging and controversial subject that needs to be examined.Comparative religion website: www.thetruelight.net Ministry website: www.shreveministries.org The Catholic Project website: www.toCatholicswithlove.org Video channel: www.YouTube.com/mikeshreveministries All audio-podcasts are shared in a video format on our YouTube channel.

Menopause isn't a medical condition requiring endurance—it's a physiological transition that responds to intervention. While the diagnostic criteria demand 12 consecutive months of amenorrhea, waiting a full year to address debilitating symptoms defies clinical logic. When patients present with vasomotor symptoms, mood dysregulation, and menstrual irregularities, laboratory evaluation can provide diagnostic clarity before the arbitrary 12-month mark. The key is recognizing that symptom management doesn't require a completed diagnostic checklist. This episode dissects the diagnostic approach to menopause, examines the cultural mythology that keeps women suffering unnecessarily, and provides evidence-based perspectives on hormone replacement therapy. We'll explore the actual risk-benefit profile of HRT, the cardiovascular and skeletal implications of hormone deficiency, and why decades of misinterpreted data have created widespread HRT phobia. Because apparently, we needed a Women's Health Initiative study to convince everyone that horse urine hormones aren't ideal for human women. Episode Highlights: Clinical definitions and diagnostic nuances of perimenopause versus menopause Laboratory markers and symptom patterns that inform menopause diagnosis The overlooked significance of testosterone assessment in menopausal women How societal expectations perpetuate the "suffer in silence" mentality Deconstructing the HRT fear-mongering that followed flawed research interpretations Evidence-based rebuttal to the estradiol-breast cancer causation myth Comprehensive approach to symptom assessment and therapeutic options Risk-benefit analysis of bioidentical estradiol and progesterone therapy Comparative evaluation of progesterone and estrogen delivery methods Clinical consequences of testosterone deficiency in women Pre-treatment evaluation and contraindications for HRT initiation Role of genetic testing in personalizing hormone replacement protocols Distinguishing natural menopause from surgical menopause management strategies Episode Resources: Dr. Shawn Tassone's Practice | https://www.drshawntassone.com Dr. Shawn Tassone's Book | The Hormone Balance Bible Dr. Shawn Tassone's Integrative Hormonal Mapping System | Hormone Archetype Quiz Thank you to our sponsor, Purality Health!

Contributor: Alec Coston, MD Educational Pearls: For patients presenting to the emergency room with hypertension, clinicians should determine if it is isolated and uncomplicated, or involves comorbidities with more complex underlying pathophysiology.  For uncomplicated and isolated hypertension, first-line treatment is thiazide diuretics.  How do thiazide diuretics work to treat hypertension? Thiazide diuretics work by blocking sodium and chloride resorption in the kidneys.  “Where sodium goes, water follows,” thus promoting diuresis and lowering blood pressure. Examples of thiazide diuretics and their benefits? Hydrochlorothiazide (HCTZ): First-line medication in uncomplicated and chronic hypertensive states. Cheaper and fewer significant adverse effects compared to chlorthalidone. HCTZ can be associated with decreased risk of stroke and myocardial infarction. However, for more complicated hypertension, especially in the setting of heart failure, Angiotensin Converting Enzyme (ACE) Inhibitors should be considered.  How do ACE Inhibitors manage blood pressure? The body's kidneys drive the Renin-Angiotensin-Aldosterone-System (RAAS) to regulate blood pressure. It is easiest to understand RAAS as being pro-hypertensive as a response to decreased renal perfusion. As renal perfusion decreases, renin is released and activates angiotensin I, which is converted by ACE to Angiotensin II, which causes release of aldosterone. ACE Inhibitors prevent the conversion of Angiotensin I to Angiotensin II, thus decreasing the kidneys' production of Angiotensin II and Aldosterone levels. Why, in the context of heart failure, are ACE Inhibitors preferred? In heart failure, especially left-sided or left-ventricular heart failure, a vicious cycle can develop wherein the left ventricle fails to perfuse the kidneys due to over-dilation. The kidneys are hypoperfused and activate RAAS to try to retain volume and increase peripheral vasoconstriction, promoting renal perfusion. The increase in blood pressure puts further strain on the heart, thereby further decreasing cardiac output. The cycle develops, and extremely elevated blood pressures can develop. ACE Inhibitors can directly block this cycle, hence their preference in heart failure. Big takeaway? In uncomplicated hypertensive patients, consider thiazide diuretics. When comorbidities, especially heart failure, are introduced, then consider ACE Inhibitors. References Carey RM, Moran AE, Whelton PK. Treatment of Hypertension: A Review.

Did you know there are more Sabbaths mentioned in the Bible than just the seventh day of the week? Did you know all Sabbaths are described as a “shadow of good things to come” (Hebrews 10:1). What are those “good things” that make up the superior “substance” (the most important, valuable, and enduring truths symbolically foreshadowed)?

Is Saturday or Sunday the proper day of the week for Christians to gather in worship? The controversy has swirled around this issue from the early days of the Church. What is the correct Sabbath? Was this ancient tradition corrupted and even paganized at a certain point in church history? Is it necessary to make a choice between these two options, or is there a third explanation that is profoundly deep and life-changing? You decide after hearing all three views.

Billions of people in various religions sincerely worship God, but not all of it is acceptable or receivable to Him. Jesus explained that “true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and in truth.” This dual requirement is so essential that the Savior added, “The Father is seeking such to worship Him” (John 4:23).

The Feast of Pentecost is the fourth of the seven “Feasts of the Lord” mentioned in the Bible. Every one of the feasts is both historical and prophetical. Each one commemorated something powerful God did for Israel in the past, under the Old Covenant, while revealing something powerful He would yet do for the Church in the New Covenant. You will see the genius of God on display by connecting the dots between these two phases of His plan.Comparative religion website: www.thetruelight.net Ministry website: www.shreveministries.org The Catholic Project website: www.toCatholicswithlove.org Video channel: www.YouTube.com/mikeshreveministries All audio-podcasts are shared in a video format on our YouTube channel.

Summary In this episode of Armed American Radio, host Mark Walters engages with Dr. John Lott to discuss the complexities of gun violence in America, the myths surrounding gun control, and the importance of self-defense. They dissect a Time magazine piece by Jens Ludwig, highlighting the inaccuracies in claims about America's unique gun violence problem. The conversation also touches on the role of guns in self-defense, the impact of gun control laws on crime rates, and the effectiveness of civilians in stopping active shooters compared to police. The episode emphasizes the need for a nuanced understanding of gun ownership and crime statistics. Takeaways Gun violence is often misrepresented in media and research. Self-defense benefits from gun ownership are significant. Most murders are committed by individuals with violent histories. Gun control laws do not necessarily lead to lower crime rates. Civilians can effectively stop active shooters, often more so than police. The broken windows theory is essential for crime prevention. Comparative crime statistics can be misleading without context. Gun ownership rates do not correlate directly with murder rates. Political agendas often skew the discussion on gun control. Understanding the root causes of crime requires a multifaceted approach. gun control, self-defense, crime rates, John Lott, Jens Ludwig, Armed American Radio, gun violence, Second Amendment, active shooters, crime research
