Discover the fascinating tale of Jesus' alleged grave in Japan, a story that intertwines history, myth, and cultural intrigue. This unique narrative suggests that during the so-called 'lost years' of Jesus, he traveled across Eurasia to Japan, where he studied with Buddhist masters. The legend continues with a dramatic twist: on the eve of his crucifixion, Jesus' brother Isuki took his place on the cross, allowing Jesus to escape back to Japan. There, he supposedly lived a peaceful life as a garlic farmer, married, and had children. This story is rooted in a small Japanese village, where two mounds are said to contain Jesus' body and a lock of his brother's hair. While this tale may seem far-fetched, it reflects the deep cultural exchanges and historical mysteries that continue to captivate imaginations worldwide.

Are we experiencing a spiritual revival—or facing a full-blown discipleship crisis in the American church? In this powerful conversation, renowned researcher Dr. George Barna shares alarming new data and challenges us to rethink how we measure spiritual health and make disciples in a post-Christian culture.Main TopicsThe Decline of Belief in the God of the BibleThe fastest-growing spiritual segment in America is now the “don'ts”—those who don't know, don't believe, or don't care if God exists.Barna reveals a 30-year decline in belief in the God of the Bible.Why Discipleship Metrics Are FailingMost churches track attendance, programs, and budgets—but not spiritual transformation.Barna outlines six biblical criteria for true discipleship based on Jesus' teachings.Only 1 in 10 born-again Christians actively disciples others.The Crucial Role of Children's Ministry and Worldview FormationA child's worldview is largely formed by age 13, starting as early as 15–18 months.Only 12% of children's pastors have a biblical worldview themselves.Barna's "Seven Cornerstones" research shows that rejecting even one foundational belief drops the likelihood of a biblical worldview from 83% to just 2%.What if the greatest threat to the church today isn't cultural hostility—but our failure to make true disciples?View the transcript, leave comments, and check out recommended resources on the Episode Landing Page!Learn More about the 2025 DNA Forum in Panama

Bad Bunny, born Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio, is an iconic Puerto Rican artist whose influence transcends music, extending into fashion and culture. He made headlines at the Met Gala by donning a 'pava,' a hat with significant roots in Puerto Rican tradition, capturing the world's attention and showcasing his deep connection to his heritage.The 'pava' is a straw hat traditionally worn by jíbaros, who are considered the heart and soul of Puerto Rican rural culture. Jíbaros are the peasant farmers who worked the land and are emblematic of Puerto Rican identity and resilience. The hat is characterized by its wide brim and simple construction, designed to shield the wearer from the sun while working in the tropical climate. It has since become a symbol of national pride and cultural identity.By choosing to wear the 'pava' at a prestigious event like the Met Gala, Bad Bunny not only highlighted his unique sense of style but also paid homage to his roots and brought international attention to Puerto Rican culture. This act further solidified his role as a cultural ambassador for Puerto Rico, using his platform to celebrate and elevate elements of his island's history on the global stage.Beyond fashion, Bad Bunny continues to make waves in the music industry. He recently announced a major 23-date world tour following his residency in Puerto Rico during the summer. Notably, this tour initially excludes the United States, focusing instead on other regions, although U.S. dates might be added later. This decision showcases Bad Bunny's international appeal and his commitment to reaching fans across different continents, from Europe to Latin America.His latest endeavor on the global stage is the "Debí Tirar Más Fotos World Tour." Ticket prices vary across different locations, hinting at the massive demand for one of the planet's most popular artists. As fans eagerly anticipate his performances, Bad Bunny's influence in music and culture continues to grow, underscoring his unique ability to blend contemporary artistry with deep cultural roots.Moreover, Bad Bunny's ventures aren't limited to music and fashion. He has also been involved in wrestling, as seen in his clash with Damian Priest at Backlash 2023. This event, now available as a director's cut, shows another facet of his multifaceted career, allowing fans insight into his dynamic persona.Through his music, fashion statements, and varied public appearances, Bad Bunny remains a powerful cultural force. His commitment to representing his Puerto Rican heritage while connecting with a global audience makes him not only a trailblazer in the entertainment industry but also a proud ambassador of his island's vibrant culture.
