Sometimes Karma is Worse Than a Poison Apple This week on the podcast, Brian and Darryl are talking about the latest episode of Daredevil: Born Again, the penultimate episode of Reacher season 3, and the absolute BOMB of Snow White at the box office, and what Disney should do to recover. Episode Index Intro: 0:07 Snow Brown: 4:19 Daredevil: 22:43 Reacher: 36:27 Snow White Box Office News Disney's live-action remake of “Snow White” has experienced a disappointing performance at the box office. The film debuted with approximately $43 million in domestic earnings and a global total of around $87 million, both figures falling short of initial projections.

Murdock comforts her with hope that the killer will be brought to justice. At marriage counseling, Fisk and Vanessa discuss her affair with Adam and Glenn privately asks Vanessa if she feels safe around Fisk. Fisk’s plan to rebuild the city’s ports faces several hurdles, including bureaucratic procedures, gang in-fighting, and his protégé Daniel Blake drunkenly leaking details to BB who reports that Fisk is a union buster. Despite his anger, Fisk decides not to fire Blake when the latter expresses his deep loyalty. Murdock investigates the site of Ayala’s murder and finds a bullet casing with the Punisher’s symbol on it. He tracks down Castle and suggests that he should take responsibility for those who are misusing the Punisher symbol. Castle calls out Murdock for not killing Dex as retribution for Nelson’s death. Later that night, Murdock practices with his Daredevil billy clubs, Fisk eats dinner next to an imprisoned Adam, and the masked serial killer Muse drains blood from a victim.

Reacher and Duffy, in Los Angeles, track down a drug dealer, Darien Prado, before having sex. Reacher and Duffy intercept Darien at a club and blackmail him into cooperating. He calls Zachary to meet, only for Reacher and Duffy to betray him. Zachary meets with Neagley, at Reacher’s command, and tells her that he and his son are in danger. Quinn visits a captive Teresa. Reacher and the team discover that the weapons are being sold to Yemeni buyers and that a terrorist act will be carried out in the United States. Zachary apologizes to Richard for his wrongdoing and says he will protect him at all costs. Zachary informs Reacher of the time and place of the exchange. Duffy and Villanueva involve the ATF, much to Reacher’s reluctance. On a call with Neagley, Reacher learns the exchange is actually taking place at Zachary’s house, and the place they are at is a setup.

Series: Signs & GloryTitle: "Do you hear God's warning?Scripture: John 5:19-29Daniel 7:13-14; Acts 2:36-39Bottom line: In a world that is good at ignoring warnings, God sent his son into the world to warn us personally. This is so that we might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, one with God, life-giver and judge over all, and that by believing have life in his name.INTRODUCTIONCONTEXTSERMON OUTLINECONCLUSIONNOTESOUTLINESQUESTIONS TO CONSIDER DISCUSSION QUESTIONSMAIN REFERENCES USEDOpening prayer: Lord God, help us grow to be and do like Jesus, while abiding in him and leading others to do the same. INTRODUCTIONLast year, I ignored God's first warning. It was September and my blood tests showed that my chloestoral was 210. It should be less than 100. Still, I felt fine. I didn't remember at the time that my family has a history of high chlorestal and related heart and artery issues. I just never occurred to me that I might have any of those issues. I felt fine. I exercise regularly. I didn't eat healthy at the time but I was better than most. (As if that were a good standard)I ignored my first warning from God. Ignoring my doctor's plan for health, I didn't agree to start taking chlorestoral meds because I wanted to try and exercise and change my diet so that I could naturally bring my cholesterol down. Mercifully, I got a second warning. I got a second chance. On October 8th of last year, while working on a disaster relief project in western NC after a major hurricane, I had a TIA (mini-stroke) while on site. God mercifully put a medical missionary on our team who quickly diagnosed my symptoms and sent me to the ER where I received excellent treatment at Pardee Hospital in Hendersonville. My second warning. This was a mercy. I deserved a TIA, stroke or worse because I ignored the doctor's advice. As I was being triaged, I remembered I had my cholesterol numbers from 3 weeks earlier and showed them to the medical team. This helped them confirm their diagnosis. God chose to be rich in love and mercy towards me that day. I woke up "heard his voice" and began taking his warning seriously. Since then, I am much more willing to heed the medical advice given to me on this life-threatening journey. I still ask questions and sometimes push back. But because God humbled me while giving me another chance, I'm in a better place medically. I finally heard and heeded God's warning.What about you? Has God been warning you?God warns us about things in this life and about things that affect the next.What has God been warning you about? What warnings are you ignoring?"I remember hearing a knock on our front door. When I opened the door, I saw two ladies standing on my step holding Bibles and some religious literature. My suspicion was soon confirmed: these two ladies were Jehovah's Witnesses going from door to door sharing their false gospel.As rapidly as I could, I told them we believed differently about Jesus, and the Bible clearly says Jesus is truly God. "Oh, we believe he's God," they said. "No, you don't. You believe he's a god, but you do not believe he's of the same essence as the Father. You do not believe he's one with the Father." At that point they admitted they viewed Jesus differently, and the conversation ended a few moments later. Those two ladies, as sweet as they were, standing on my porch with Bibles in hand, were rebelling against God. Anyone who does not submit to Jesus Christ—anyone who dishonors the Son-does not honor the Father." -Matt CarterCONTEXTJohn moves forward in chapters 5-10 highlighting the escalating conflict between Jesus and the Jewish leadership. John will use Jesus' encounters with others to escalate and teach/reveal who he is leading the Jewish leaders to grow more insistent on his execution for blasphemy. They are convinced that he is claiming to be another god equal to God the Father and they cannot rest until he is dealt with. For they think that he is leading the people astray.SERMON Bottom line: In a world that is good at ignoring warnings, God sent his son into the world to warn us personally. This is so that we might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, one with God, life-giver and judge over all, and that by believing have life in his name.Kent Hughes says that Jesus makes 3 claims that we all should take seriously. I'll pair them up with how other commentators saw this.Jesus is one with the Father. (19-20)(Hughes)Jesus' unity with the Father. (19-23)(ChatGPT)Jesus does what only God can do. (19-22)(Carter)Jesus has the power to give and sustain life. (21, 24-26)(Hughes)Jesus gives spiritual life (eternal life) through belief. (24-25)(Chat GPT)Jesus receives honor only God deserves. (23-24)(Carter) Jesus has the authority to judge. (27-30)(Hughes)Jesus brings future resurrection and judgment. (25-29) (ChatGPT)Jesus has power only God can claim. (25-29)(Carter) Hughes adds here, "These claims are eternal and they call for action."Applications for BelieversTrust in Jesus' authority as if God (because he is). (19-23)He is fully aligned and in sync with His Father. (19-20)He is the source and sustainer of life. (Now and future) (21)He is the judge of all people. (Now and in the future) (22)He is God, so, honor (worship) Him accordingly. (23)Rest in eternal life now. (24) Rest as in fully rely on Him.Eternal life--abundant life forever.Now--it starts when you rest fully in Him.Live with resurrection hope. (25-29) Live in light of eternity!Listening for Jesus to speak. (25)Embrace life as a gift. (26)Live grateful for the mercy. (27)Live in light of his imminent return. (28-29)Applications for Not-yet believersBelieve/trust that Jesus as your pathway to life abundant and eternal starting today. (24-25)Judgment is certain. No exceptions. (27-29)There is still time to respond. (25)For believers, this gives assurance, hope and a call to live in light of eternity.For not-yet believers, this is a wake-up call to take Jesus' words seriously--life and judgment are in his hands.CONCLUSIONHughes or Carter write:"It is hardly surprising therefore that controversy features prominently in the life and ministry of Jesus as he reveals the truth about himself. The intriguing thing about the controversy that surrounded Jesus during his public ministry on earth is that it is not so much his teaching and ideas that were in dispute, but the claims that he made about himself. It was this fact that led C.S. Lewis to make his much-quoted remark,Either this man was, and is, the Son of God, or else a madman, or something worse. You can shut him up for a fool, you can spit at him or kill him as a demon; or you can fall at his feet and call him Lord and God. But let us not come to him with any patronising nonsense about him being a great human teacher. He has not left that option open to us. He did not intend to.Mere Christianity (New York, Macmillan: 1943), pp. 55-56I've always heard it summarized as Jesus was either...A lunatic, crazy for thinking he was God, A liar, out to deceive for his own glory, or The Lord, because all that he claimed is true.But, no matter what, you cannot call him just a great teacher or a great man or a great prophet. For he could not be any of those if he lied or was crazy. You can't have it both ways.Bottom line: In a world that is good at ignoring warnings, God sent his son into the world to warn us personally. This is so that we might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, one with God, life-giver and judge over all, and that by believing have life in his name.What about you?Has God warned you?Do you hear his warning? Peter puts it all in perspective in his first sermon:““Therefore let all Israel be assured of this: God has made this Jesus, whom you crucified, both Lord and Messiah.” When the people heard this, they were cut to the heart and said to Peter and the other apostles, “Brothers, what shall we do?” Peter replied, “Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. The promise is for you and your children and for all who are far off—for all whom the Lord our God will call.”” ‭‭Acts‬ ‭2‬:‭36‬-‭39‬ ‭NIV‬‬InvitationHow do we respond?

Series: Signs & GloryTitle: "Do you want to get well?"Scripture: John 5:1-18Bottom line: To find healing and salvation, we must 1) be willing to change, 2) find hope to change, and 3) surrender to change.INTRODUCTIONCONTEXTSERMON OUTLINECONCLUSIONNOTESOUTLINESQUESTIONS TO CONSIDER DISCUSSION QUESTIONSMAIN REFERENCES USEDMy opening prayer: Lord God, help us grow to be and do like Jesus, while abiding in him and leading others to do the same. INTRODUCTION“There was an occasion when the army of Alexander the Great was engaged in a very serious battle, and in the course of the battle, one of the soldiers fled the scene. He was a coward. After the battle, the coward was apprehended and brought to Alexander's tent. As the man stood trembling before his general, Alexander looked at him and said, “Why did you run?” The soldier said, “I was afraid.” Alexander said: “So I see. What is your name?” The soldier mumbled his answer so that Alexander couldn't hear him, so the great warrior said: “Speak up. What is your name?” The young soldier looked at him and said, “My name is Alexander.” Alexander the Great replied, “Either change your behavior or change your name.”CONTEXTJohn moves forward in chapters 5-10 highlighting the escalating conflict between Jesus and the Jewish leadership. John will use Jesus' encounters with others to escalate and teach/reveal who he is leading the Jewish leaders to grow more insistent on his execution for blashemy. They are convinced that he is claiming to be another god equal to God the Father and they cannot rest until he is dealt with. For he is leading the people astray.These encounters will include several "I am" statements designed to reveal who Jesus really is. It's at this point that I'd like to share with you how someone described Jesus. After all, many of us struggle with following Jesus because we also are unclear about who healed us. Lesslie Newbigin, British pastor and missionary from the past wrote:"The one of whom we are reading is the one who was finally rejected with unique unanimity by the representatives of all the forces that control human behavior (cf. I Cor. 2:8), was subjected to that death which implied the curse of God as well as of men, was raised to new life, and became the author of new life for all who believed. It is this man whose identity is being defined in these passages." -Lesslie NewbiginHe says that we cannot understand what John is doing and writing without remembering that this is all about believing that Jesus is the Messiah, the king of kings, the Son of man and the son of God and that by believing have life in his name who died for our sins and was raised to prove his atoning sacrifice for us works in his Father's eyes. We are forgiven because of him!SERMON Bottom line: To find healing and salvation, we must 1) be willing to change, 2) find hope to change, and 3) surrender to change.According to Pastor Mark Johnston, Jesus' question, and the impact it makes, raises at least four major issues for this man and for all people.WANT TO CHANGE? The truth about our life--do we even want to change?HELPLESS TO CHANGE. The fact of our own helplessness--can we even change without outside help?SIN KEEPS US FROM CHANGE. The cause of all our trouble--do we realize what causes our sickness is sin? (Generally or specifically)HOPE FOR CHANGE IS FOUND IN JESUS. The hope that is found in Jesus--Healing and salvation are made possible by Jesus sovereignly initiating compassionately.CONCLUSIONBottom line: To find healing and salvation, we must 1) be willing to change, 2) find hope to change, and 3) surrender to change.Do I want to get well even if it means change?Do I acknowledge that I cannot change myself?Do I realize that the reason I cannot change on my own is sin?Am I ready and willing to surrender to Jesus so that I can change?What about you?Peter puts it all in perspective in his first sermon:““Therefore let all Israel be assured of this: God has made this Jesus, whom you crucified, both Lord and Messiah.” When the people heard this, they were cut to the heart and said to Peter and the other apostles, “Brothers, what shall we do?” Peter replied, “Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins.

(past, present, and future)PrayNOTES"This reality should motivate us to labor with all our might to make Jesus Christ and his gospel known and loved throughout the world. Augustine wrote this beautiful reflection about Jesus Christ:You are ever active, yet always at rest. You gather all things to yourself, though you suffer no need. ... You welcome those who come to you, though you never lost them. You release us from our debts, but you lose nothing thereby. You are my God, my Life, my holy Delight, but is this enough to say of you? Can any man say enough when he speaks of you? Yet woe betide those who are silent about you! (Confessions [IX 1], 181)May we, by the grace of God, never be silent." -Matt Carter"I'll Do It Later (v. 35):Jesus asks the disciples a pointed question: "Don't you say, 'There are still four more months, and then comes the harvest'?" (v. 35). He's saying, "Do you guys think you need to wait before reaping the fruit of the gospel? Are you hoping it will come later? You're wrong; look at the Samaritans coming right now. What are you waiting for? The time is now!" Jesus is driving the urgency of the gospel home to the hearts of his disciples. We don't wait for a different time or a better time; the harvest is now. Go, do the work of sharing the gospel right now. Charles Spurgeon, preaching on this passage, challenged his congregation:Some of you good people, who do nothing except go to public meetings, the Bible readings, and prophetic conferences, and other forms of spiritual [indulgence], would be a good deal better Christians if you would look after the poor and needy around you. If you would just tuck up your sleeves for work, and go and tell the gospel to dying men, you would find your spiritual health mightily restored, for very much of the sickness of Christians comes through their having nothing to do. All feeding and no working gives men spiritual indigestion. Be idle, careless, with nothing to live for, nothing to care for, no sinner to pray for, no backslider to lead back to the cross, no trembler to encourage, no little child to tell of a Savior, no grey-headed man to enlighten in the things of God, no object, in fact, to live for; and who wonders if you begin to groan, and to murmur, and to look within, until you are ready to die of despair?

Darien introduces the concept of Creative Demand, shares real-world examples of unconventional marketing tactics, and explains why taking a clear stance in content is the most effective way to stand out.In this episode, you'll learn:Why traditional social media strategies in B2B are failing—and how to fix themHow Creative Demand combines storytelling and strategy to drive revenueThe role of strategic campaigns in turning social into a demand engineResources:Connect with Jonathan on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jonathan-gandolf/Explore AudiencePlus: https://audienceplus.comFollow Darien on X: https://x.com/DarienPaytonConnect with Darien on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/darienpayton/Explore Antidote: https://www.antidotemedia.co/Timestamps:(00:00) Intro(01:18) Creative demand explained(03:18) The role of creativity in demand generation(06:14) Successful creative campaigns(08:10) Social media strategies for B2B(14:56) Converting social media into demand(18:47) Misalignment of social media and business objectives

Series: Signs & GloryTitle: "What does authentic faith look like?Scripture: John 4:43-54John 1:9-12; 8:31-32Bottom line: Authentic faith looks like an actual commitment, built on an informed belief, and a growing dependency of God.INTRODUCTIONCONTEXTSERMON OUTLINECONCLUSIONNOTESOUTLINESQUESTIONS TO CONSIDER DISCUSSION QUESTIONSMAIN REFERENCES USEDMy opening prayer: Lord God, help us grow to be and do like Jesus, while abiding in him and leading others to do the same. INTRODUCTIONToday we're answer the question, "What does authentic faith look like?" When I think of the word authentic, I think of collections where value is based on the something rare being authenticated or declared the real thing.The most valuable American coin today is a 1794 silver dollar called the Flowing Hair Silver Dollar. It has lady liberty on one side and an American eagle on the other. Many believe that it was the first coin minted by the US government. There were only 1800 made and experts think only about 120 remain. It last sold for 12 million dollars. But it's only worth 12 million dollars if it's an authentic Flowing Hair Silver Dollar.The question today is what does authentic faith look like. We're asking this question to setup the more important question, "Is my faith authentic?"CONTEXTJesus has been talking with the woman at the well. He and the 12 got to see a whole town come to Christ. It has been an amazing day. The enemies of the Jews (the Samaritans) have trusted the Jewish Messiah! There is no earthly reason why they would do this. Only God.John will use this town of people in Sychar to expose the contrast with the way the Jews are responding (en masse) to Jesus. (Cf. John 1:11-12)John will also contrast the nobleman's growing faith with the hesitant faith of Nicodemus.What does authentic faith look like?Is my faith authentic?SERMON Bottom line: Authentic faith looks like an actual commitment, built on an informed belief, and a growing dependency on God.What does authentic faith look like? (Help from Matt Carter's commentary)I. Actual commitment--not just spiritual curiosity.Nobleman embraced Light of the world and Savior of the world.Overall response is rejection of Jews (cf. John 1:9-12); still some exceptions; not unlike us today.This contrast shows us what authentic faith looks like.Spiritual curiosity ≠ Authentic faithJesus condemns them for lack of faith and desire for "signs and wonders""You" is plural meaning the Jews and not just the nobleman. Maybe even in further contrast (like the Centurion)Samaritans have authentic faith in that town--they took Jesus as his word. No signs and wonders needed.II. Informed belief--not just emotional feelings.Requires understanding certain truths about Jesus.Content of our faith. Word > ExperienceAre you a follower? Why? For what he did or who he is?Nobleman looking for a miracle? Yes, but takes Jesus at his word instead of having to see it happen instantly. Similar to Samaritans.We aren't called to a blind faith or emotional faith, though it can be emotional. We have a reasonable faith. Who is Jesus? Title so far in John include:Son of GodSon of ManMessiah/ChristWord of GodKing of IsraelLamb of GodIII. Growing dependence--not just a single decision.2X it says nobleman "believed." (4:51-53)Same with Samaritans. (39-41)In neither case are we told WHEN they were saved. John shows it's a continual belief that truly saves or demonstrates authentic faith. It starts with a moment and decision--but it never ends. We persevere in the faith over time.Pointing to a past decision isn't enough if not walking in it. We'll know your status based on your fruit. Cf. Hebrews 3:12-14; Galatians 5:23-24John 1:!2 those who are believing (present tense) in his name.John 8:31 if you "continue" in my word.To "continue" or "hold to" his word is to "abide" or "remain" in Christ.Applications/questions:Are you spiritually curious? That's fine. Just don't think you're secure and good with the Lord just because you're spiritual or open. Christ calls us to follow him the rest of our life. Until you surrender to that, you're just curious. It's not a convenient faith that he calls us to--it's a costly faith. He calls us to ultimately come and die. Is your faith rooted on how you feel? I feel close to God today but not tomorrow. Emotions are a legitimate part of the human experience--even in our spiritual life. But we root our faith in truth--God's word is truth. Jesus said, "I am the way, and the truth..." We have an informed faith; a reasonable faith; not a blind faith. Is your faith growing? Are you abiding in Jesus daily? Are you walking with God daily? These are different ways of asking the question, am I growing in dependence on the Lord?CONCLUSIONBottom line: Authentic faith starts with an actual commitment, and an informed belief on the word, and a growing dependence. What about you? Is your faith authentic?Here's another way to look at it.How do you know that you're married?Well, you might say, I have a wedding ring and a marriage license. I could respond, well, I know people who have a marriage license and maybe even still wear their wedding ring. But they are no longer married.The only way to truly know you're married is because you live the married life with your spouse. You raise the kids together. You take care of the house together. You do life together.The same is true with authentic faith. What does authentic faith look like? It looks like an actual commitment, built on an informed faith, and a growing dependence.What about you? Is your faith authentic?If not, what can you do?Repent--turn from the way you're living life and turn back to the trust and follow Jesus' words, ways and works.Believe--Rest on the calling you've received; build on the word of God; pray towards growing in Christ.`Peter puts it all in perspective in his first sermon:““Therefore let all Israel be assured of this: God has made this Jesus, whom you crucified, both Lord and Messiah.” When the people heard this, they were cut to the heart and said to Peter and the other apostles, “Brothers, what shall we do?” Peter replied, “Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. The promise is for you and your children and for all who are far off—for all whom the Lord our God will call.”” ‭‭Acts‬ ‭2‬:‭36‬-‭39‬ ‭NIV‬‬InvitationHow do we respond? Answer 2 questions:Take out a card or piece of paper right now. Write down the answer to these questions: What is God saying to me right now?What am I going to do about it? Write this down on a sheet of paper. What I hear you saying, Lord, is ___________________.[my name] is going to believe/do __________________________________________________ as a result.Finally, share this with your Home or Mission group this week when you gather as a testimony about what God is doing in your life. You don't have to get too specific to give him praise.Lord's Supper, 1 Cor 11:23-26 is good passage.Also, say something like, "Christ has died, Christ is risen, Christ will come again." (past, present, and future)PrayNOTES"Jesus was saying, "Your experience with the Samaritans is one of reaping where you did not sow," and that surely was the case. They had not sowed, but they reaped. In our age some of us may sow, and some of us may reap. The thrust of these verses is that there is going to be a good deal of reaping, but the implication also is that sometimes we may sow and never see the results. I am reminded of the story of George Müller who founded many orphanages in the last century. Early in his life Müller made the acquaintance of three men, and he began to pray for their salvation. Müller lived a long time, but when he died, none of those men had yet trusted Christ. It is recorded in his diary that he prayed for these men daily during all those years. But that is not the end! The glorious fact is that all three of those men did meet Christ-two of them in their seventies and one in his eighties! Müller sowed, but someone else reaped. Whether we find ourselves sowing or reaping, our lives are to be permeated with a sense of urgency. Jesus' harvest mentality was part of the secret of his life. We also are meant to be harvesting!" -Kent Hughes, p. 139"This reality should motivate us to labor with all our might to make Jesus Christ and his gospel known and loved throughout the world. Augustine wrote this beautiful reflection about Jesus Christ:You are ever active, yet always at rest. You gather all things to yourself, though you suffer no need. ... You welcome those who come to you, though you never lost them. You release us from our debts, but you lose nothing thereby. You are my God, my Life, my holy Delight, but is this enough to say of you? Can any man say enough when he speaks of you? Yet woe betide those who are silent about you! (Confessions [IX 1], 181)May we, by the grace of God, never be silent." -Matt Carter"I'll Do It Later (v. 35):Jesus asks the disciples a pointed question: "Don't you say, 'There are still four more months, and then comes the harvest'?" (v. 35). He's saying, "Do you guys think you need to wait before reaping the fruit of the gospel? Are you hoping it will come later? You're wrong; look at the Samaritans coming right now. What are you waiting for? The time is now!" Jesus is driving the urgency of the gospel home to the hearts of his disciples. We don't wait for a different time or a better time; the harvest is now. Go, do the work of sharing the gospel right now. Charles Spurgeon, preaching on this passage, challenged his congregation:Some of you good people, who do nothing except go to public meetings, the Bible readings, and prophetic conferences, and other forms of spiritual [indulgence], would be a good deal better Christians if you would look after the poor and needy around you. If you would just tuck up your sleeves for work, and go and tell the gospel to dying men, you would find your spiritual health mightily restored, for very much of the sickness of Christians comes through their having nothing to do. All feeding and no working gives men spiritual indigestion. Be idle, careless, with nothing to live for, nothing to care for, no sinner to pray for, no backslider to lead back to the cross, no trembler to encourage, no little child to tell of a Savior, no grey-headed man to enlighten in the things of God, no object, in fact, to live for; and who wonders if you begin to groan, and to murmur, and to look within, until you are ready to die of despair?

Uncle Strib talks about sport injuries, gym goals, and more with Aaron Wilkerson & Darien "Diesel" Reinagel.

Acute inflammation is a good thing because it is the body's natural defense mechanism. When you get injured or have an infection, your immune system triggers inflammation to help heal tissues and fight off harmful invaders. This short-term response increases blood flow, brings immune cells to the area, and removes damaged cells—helping you recover quickly. What is the difference between acute inflammation and chronic inflammation? Chronic inflammation is harmful because it is a prolonged, low-grade immune response that doesn't turn off. It can be triggered by poor diet, stress, lack of exercise, or underlying conditions. Over time, chronic inflammation damages healthy tissues, contributes to pain, and increases the risk of diseases like arthritis, heart disease, and even Alzheimer's. So, while acute inflammation is essential for healing, chronic inflammation can silently wreak havoc on your body. Managing stress, eating anti-inflammatory foods, and staying active are key to keeping inflammation under control. If you would like more information about ways to reduce chronic inflammation call Dr.Mc Kay from Core Health Darien and can be reached at 203-656-3636 https://darienchiropractor.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/chronic-inflammation.pnghttps://youtu.be/5G3yqk3X4Mohttps://darienchiropractor.com/inflammation/This podcast welcomes your feedback here are several ways to reach out to me.

Matt Crawford speaks with author Don Johnston about his book, By Means of Peace: A Novel. In a world teetering on the brink of chaos, one man's promise of peace becomes humanity's greatest threat. Reuben Rogov, a charismatic third-party President, emerges as a beacon of hope in troubled times. He brokers peace in the Middle East, faces down global superpowers, and conquers both the border crisis and a deadly pandemic. As the world hails him a sociopolitical messiah, Rogov ascends to unparalleled power–but at what cost? Darien and Marisa, a young couple from Houston, find themselves caught in the crosshairs of a rapidly changing political landscape. As Marisa is drawn into the heart of the new world order in Washington, their relationship is tested by distance, loyalty, and mounting suspicions about the true nature of Rogov's regime. Don Johnston's gripping narrative serves as a stark warning about the potential consequences of unchecked power and the seductive allure of false peace, all the while keeping pages turning like a classic by Philip K. Dick or Ray Bradbury. Kirkus Reviews hails it as “A chilling, futuristic tale of freedom lost.” Don't miss this thought-provoking thriller that will leave you pondering long after you've turned the last page.

This is the Catchup on 3 Things by The Indian Express and I'm Ichha Sharma.Today is the 21st of February and here are the headlines.In a major news from the capital, first-time MLA Rekha Gupta was sworn in as Delhi's new Chief Minister on Thursday, along with her Council of Ministers, at a grand ceremony held at Ramlila Maidan. This marks the Bharatiya Janata Party's return to power in the capital after a gap of 27 years. Besides Gupta, six newly elected MLAs were also administered the oath as ministers. The event witnessed the presence of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, senior BJP leaders, and allies from the NDA. The newly formed Council of Ministers, under Gupta's leadership, is held its first meeting at the Delhi Secretariat. Among the key proposals that were discussed is the implementation of the Mahila Samriddhi Yojna, which will provide eligible women with a monthly allowance of ₹2,500.In another major development this week, the Supreme Court granted podcaster Ranveer Allahbadia interim protection from arrest over alleged objectionable comments on his YouTube show, "India's Got Latent." However, the court condemned his language, describing it as perverse and shameful. Justice Surya Kant criticized Allahbadia's choice of words, saying they would embarrass parents, brothers, sisters, and society at large. He expressed disgust, asking what other standard of obscenity would apply in this country. Allahbadia's lawyer was reprimanded for defending the program's language, while the court made strong remarks on the perverted content.Moving on to another major story, with many Nepali students who were asked to leave the Kalinga Institute of Industrial Technology University campus in the aftermath of the suicide of an engineering student yet to return to their hostels. The Indian Express has learnt that senior Nepal embassy officials have raised concerns over their safety and security. Two senior officials from the Nepal embassy in Delhi are in Bhubaneswar to hold discussions with Odisha government representatives over the death of a 20-year-old engineering student at Odisha's KIIT and the safety of protesting Nepali students. Lamsal, who is from Nepal's Kathmandu, died on campus Sunday evening, sparking a standoff between Nepali students and the university administration.In another news that made headlines this week, the National Capital Region woke up to a 4.0 earthquake. The National Centre for Seismology stated that strong tremors were felt in Delhi and its surrounding areas early morning with the epicenter being the Jheel Park area of Dhaula Kuan. According to the NCS, the earthquake originated just 5 km below the Earth's surface, which tends to cause more damage than tremors originating deep below the surface.On the global front, amid US President Donald Trump's onslaught on illegal immigration, several deportees, including Indians, have been sent to a hotel in Panama, where they are being held till they can be repatriated to their origin countries. As many as 299 migrants, belonging to countries like India, Nepal, Sri Lanka, Pakistan, Afghanistan, China, and Iran, among others, were sent to Panama last week. Some of these have been shifted to a remote facility near the Darien jungle. The Indian Embassy in Panama, Nicaragua, Costa Rica said on Thursday that they have gained “consular access” to the group of Indians sent to Panama.This was the Catch Up on 3 Things by The Indian Express

This is the Catchup on 3 Things by The Indian Express and I'm Flora Swain.Today is the 20th of February and here are the headlines.First-time MLA Rekha Gupta was sworn in as Delhi's new Chief Minister today, along with her Council of Ministers, at a grand ceremony held at Ramlila Maidan. This marks the Bharatiya Janata Party's (BJP) return to power in the capital after a gap of 27 years. Besides Gupta, six newly elected MLAs were also administered the oath as ministers. The event witnessed the presence of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, senior BJP leaders, and allies from the National Democratic Alliance (NDA). The newly formed Council of Ministers, under Gupta's leadership, is expected to hold its first meeting at the Delhi Secretariat around 7 PM. Among the key proposals to be discussed is the implementation of the Mahila Samriddhi Yojna, which will provide eligible women with a monthly allowance of ₹2,500.In a strongly-worded letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M K Stalin Thursday sought urgent intervention to release Rs 2,152 crores under the Samagra Shiksha scheme. The letter, expressing deep concern over the Union Government's insistence on linking the funds to the implementation of the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020, reiterated Tamil Nadu's unwavering commitment to its two-language policy, described the move as a “blatant violation of cooperative federalism.” Launched in 2018, the Samagra Shiksha Abhiyan is a Centrally Sponsored integrated scheme for school education that subsumed the schemes of Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan (SSA), Rashtriya Madhyamik Shiksha Abhiyan (RMSA) and Teacher Education (TE).The Supreme Court today stayed the 27the of January Lokpal order which said that it has the power to look into complaints against sitting high court judges, terming it as “something very very disturbing”. The top court had taken suo motu cognizance of the January 27 order and listed it for hearing before the bench headed by Justice B R Gavai and also comprising Justices Surya Kant and A S Oka. The Supreme Court directed its registrar judicial “to mask the identity of the complainant and serve him through the Registrar Judicial of the High Court where the complainant resides”.A young teacher with a Catholic-run school in Kerala has ended her life after she was allegedly denied her salary for the last six years. The victim was a teacher at St Joseph's lower primary school at Kodenchery in Kozhikode district. She was found dead at her home on Wednesday afternoon. The Catholic diocese of Thamarassery runs the government-aided school. Kerala Education Minister V Sivankutty said the director general of education has been asked to look into the incident. “It is unfortunate. Once I get the report from the DG, we will take action,” he told the media.Amid US President Donald Trump's onslaught on illegal immigration, several deportees, including Indians, have been sent to a hotel in Panama, where they are being held till they can be repatriated to their origin countries.

Series: Signs & GloryTitle: “Should Jesus Matter More Than Me?”Scripture: John 3:22-36Bottom line: It's not about me. If I follow Jesus, He must become greater--I must become less.INTRODUCTIONCONTEXTSERMON OUTLINECONCLUSIONNOTESOUTLINESQUESTIONS TO CONSIDER DISCUSSION QUESTIONSMAIN REFERENCES USEDMy opening prayer: Lord God, help us grow to be and do like Jesus, while abiding in him and leading others to do the same. INTRODUCTIONShould Jesus matter more than me?I mean we just read John 3:16 where we see that God loved the world--us--so much that he gave his one and only son (the most precious thing he could give) that whoever believes in him will not perish but have eternal life. That makes it seem like God is making much of me! That I matter to him!And we do! "But God demonstrates his love in this, that while we were still sinners Christ died for us." (Romans 5:8)But it's because of that great love for us that he demonstrates his greatness even more. This is why he's worthy to live our lives for. This is why he matters most.In our world, our culture, it's all about #1. It's all about taking care of myself. What's best for me. What's in it for me. But this isn't at all how the Bible teaches us to live. In fact, it's 180 degrees the other way. It's not about me. It's all about Jesus--my creator and savior.2. The Olympic Torchbearer Who Knew His RoleIn the Olympic Games, the torch relay is a huge honor. Runners carry the flame for a short distance before passing it to the next person. No single runner tries to hold onto the torch forever—each one understands their job is to carry it for a time and then hand it off.John the Baptist saw his role the same way. He wasn't the light—he was just carrying the flame until Jesus, the true light, arrived. He gladly stepped aside because he knew it was never about him.Tie-in: Are we holding onto our own importance too tightly, or are we willing to pass the torch so Jesus can be seen more clearly?So, should Jesus matter more than me?Yes. Why? Good question. The apostle John answers this question 4 ways in John 3:22-36. Let's take a look.CONTEXTJesus & company move out from the city of Jerusalem to the Judean countryside to preach and baptize. Seeing the planned transition from J the B to J the C, this causes heartburn for John's disciples. Not unlike when a beloved pastor moves on from a church, the congregants are sometimes reluctant to follow the new pastor, even though it's often God's will.SERMON Bottom line: It's not about me. If I follow Jesus, He must become greater--I must become less.Main Idea: John the Baptist's response to his disciples shows us why Jesus must take first place in our lives—and why we must be willing to step back so He can be exalted.Jesus matters more because...The Church (Bride) belongs to Him. (22-29)He comes from above (heaven). (30-31)His words are God's words. (32-34)He holds my eternity. (35-36)Let's break this down a few verses at a time.1. Jesus Matters More Because the Church Belongs to Him (vv. 22–29)The Best Man Who Tried to Steal the Show Imagine a wedding where the best man keeps stepping in front of the groom, trying to take the spotlight. Instead of celebrating the couple, he gives a long speech about himself, tries to dance with the bride, and insists that everyone pay attention to him.That would be ridiculous, right? After all, that day is for the bride and groom. It's their day! And the best man should be pointing everyone else to them. That's actually his job!But that's exactly what happens when we try to make life about us instead of pointing to Jesus. John the Baptist understood this—his joy was in stepping aside so Jesus could take center stage.Tie-in: Are we content being the “best man” who points to Jesus, or are we still trying to be the main attraction?So, Jesus matters more because the Church (aka the Bride) belongs to Him.. • John calls himself the “friend of the bridegroom,” rejoicing that the bride (God's people) belongs to Jesus, not to him. • It's not about building our platform, reputation, or influence—it's about pointing people to Christ. • Application: Am I more focused on my own importance, or am I helping others love Jesus more?2. Jesus Matters More Because He Comes from Above (vv. 30–31) • John contrasts himself (earthly) with Jesus (from heaven). Jesus isn't just another teacher—He is God's Son. • This means He deserves absolute authority in our lives. • Application: Who has the final say in my decisions—Jesus or me?3. Jesus Matters More Because His Words Are God's Words (vv. 32–34) • Jesus speaks with firsthand knowledge of heaven, and God has given Him the Spirit without measure. • To reject Jesus' words is to reject God Himself. • Application: Do I listen to Jesus above all other voices—culture, opinion, even my own desires?4. Jesus Matters More Because He Holds My Eternity (vv. 35–36) • The Father has placed everything in Jesus' hands—life, judgment, salvation. • Belief in Jesus leads to eternal life, but rejecting Him brings God's wrath. • Application: Am I fully trusting in Jesus, or am I still holding on to control?CONCLUSIONJohn the Baptist knew his role—he wasn't the main event, just the one pointing to Jesus. His joy was complete when Jesus was exalted. So, should Jesus matter more than me? According to John, there's no question—He must.Application questions for us today: • Am I more focused on my own importance, or am I helping others love Jesus more? • Who has the final say in my decisions—Jesus or me? • Do I listen to Jesus above all other voices—culture, opinion, even my own desires? • Am I fully trusting in Jesus, or am I still holding on to control?Bottom line: It's not about me. If I follow Jesus, He must become greater--I must become less.What about you?Peter puts it all in perspective in his first sermon:““Therefore let all Israel be assured of this: God has made this Jesus, whom you crucified, both Lord and Messiah.” When the people heard this, they were cut to the heart and said to Peter and the other apostles, “Brothers, what shall we do?” Peter replied, “Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. The promise is for you and your children and for all who are far off—for all whom the Lord our God will call.”” ‭‭Acts‬ ‭2‬:‭36‬-‭39‬ ‭NIV‬‬InvitationHow do we respond?

(past, present, and future)PrayNOTESChatGPT describes a Jewish wedding in Jesus' day in this way:"A traditional Jewish wedding in Jesus' day followed a structured process with deep cultural and theological significance. Understanding this context helps illuminate John the Baptist's statement in John 3:29:“The one who has the bride is the bridegroom. The friend of the bridegroom, who stands and hears him, rejoices greatly at the bridegroom's voice. Therefore, this joy of mine is now complete.” (ESV)Stages of a Jewish Wedding in Jesus' Day1. Betrothal (Kiddushin) – The Legal Commitment • The marriage process began with betrothal, a legally binding agreement arranged by the families. • The groom would present a bride price (mohar) to the bride's father as a symbol of his commitment. • A written contract (ketubah) outlined the husband's responsibilities to his wife. • The couple was considered legally married at this point, though they did not yet live together or consummate the marriage. • The groom would then leave to prepare a home for his bride, often an addition to his father's house.2. Waiting Period – The Groom's Preparation • The groom would spend months, sometimes a year, preparing a home for his bride. • The bride remained at her family's house, preparing herself and staying pure for the wedding. • The exact time of the groom's return was often unknown, adding a sense of expectation.3. The Wedding Procession – The Groom Comes for His Bride • When the groom's father declared that everything was ready, the groom would gather his friends and go to the bride's house, often at night. • The bride and her attendants would hear the groom's approach, and she had to be ready to go with him immediately. • This imagery is reflected in Jesus' parable of the ten virgins (Matthew 25:1–13).4. The Wedding Ceremony and Feast • The bride and groom were escorted to the wedding feast, which could last up to seven days. • The marriage was consummated, symbolizing their full union. • The feast was a time of great joy, with music, dancing, and celebration.How This Relates to John 3:29John the Baptist identifies himself as the friend of the bridegroom (what we might call the “best man” today). In Jewish custom, this role was filled by someone who helped prepare the wedding and ensured everything was in order. His greatest joy was seeing the groom receive his bride. • Jesus is the Bridegroom – He has come to claim His people (the bride). • John is the Friend of the Bridegroom – His role was to prepare the way for Jesus, not to take center stage. • The Bride Represents God's People – In a broader biblical theme, the Church is the bride of Christ (Ephesians 5:25–32, Revelation 19:7–9).John's joy is complete because the groom (Jesus) has arrived and is beginning to gather His bride. His ministry was never about himself but about preparing the way for Jesus.A traditional Jewish wedding in Jesus' day followed a structured process with deep cultural and theological significance. Understanding this context helps illuminate John the Baptist's statement in John 3:29:“The one who has the bride is the bridegroom. The friend of the bridegroom, who stands and hears him, rejoices greatly at the bridegroom's voice. Therefore, this joy of mine is now complete.” (ESV)This is helpful in thinking through John 3:29 as well as the parable of the ten virgins in Matthew 25:1-13.OUTLINESWillmington's OUTLINE Bible (JOHN 3):Jesus meets with Nicodemus and tells him in order to be saved, all people must be born again. John the Baptist tells his disciples that Jesus is the Messiah.JOHN EXALTS THE PERSON OF SALVATION (3:22-36)A. The argument (3:22-26): A debate occurs among John's disciples concerning which baptism is valid-those performed by John or Jesus.B. The affirmation (3:27-36): John once again gives testimony concerning the greatness of Jesus.1. Jesus is the bridegroom, while John is but a friend of the bridegroom (3:27-29).2. Jesus must become greater and greater, while John must become less and less (3:30-36).QUESTIONS TO CONSIDERWhat do I want them to know?

Series: Signs & GloryTitle: "How can I be born again?"Scripture: John 3:16-21John 1:11-13Numbers 21:4-9Bottom line: Every person can be born again (from above), enter the kingdom of God, and receive eternal life by looking to Jesus on the pole (cross) and believing that God loves them that much.INTRODUCTIONCONTEXTSERMON OUTLINECONCLUSIONNOTESOUTLINESQUESTIONS TO CONSIDER DISCUSSION QUESTIONSMAIN REFERENCES USEDMy opening prayer: Lord God, help us grow to be and do like Jesus, while abiding in him and leading others to do the same. INTRODUCTIONIt's really important to read scripture in multiple translations so let me give you a different translation to hear this verse in today:Ahoy, mateys! Let me spin ye a tale from the good book, as only Cap'n Jack Sparrow could tell it. Ahem..."Fer God so loved the scallywags of the world, that he gave his one and only son, that whoever swigs a bottle o' rum with him shall not be keelhauled, but have a bounce life that never runs aground, savvy?"CONTEXT"Whereas the emphasis in 3:1-8 was on the necessity of spiritual rebirth, the focus in 3:12-18 is on believing; thus, the themes of divine sovereignty and human responsibility are balanced. (Ridderbos 1997)" via Köstenberger, emphasis mineNote: In my opinion, this quote would be more accurate if he said either "spiritual birth" or "rebirth" but "spiritual rebirth" is not accurate."Because John 3:16 is sandwiched between vv. 14-15 and v. 17, the fact that God gave his one and only Son is tied both to the Son's incarnation(v. 17) and to his death (vv. 14-15). That is the immediate result of the love of God for the world: the mission of the Son. His ultimate purpose is the salvation of those in the world who believe in him...Whoever believes in him experiences new birth (3:3, 5), has eternal life (3:15, 16), is saved (3:17); the alternative is to perish (cf. also 10:28), to lose one's life (12:25), to be doomed to destruction (17:12, cognate with 'to perish'). There is no third option." -CarsonSERMON Every person can be born again, enter into the kingdom of God, and receive eternal life by looking to the cross of Christ and believing that God loves them that much.Why? For God so loved the world that he...GAVE "Gave his one and only son." God gave (sent in v. 17) his son in the flesh (at his birth) to show and tell us the way to true life. Love sent his son down to shine brightly as "The light of the world" so that our evil deeds could be revealed and turned away from.To SAVE "...to save the world through (Jesus)." God gave (sent in v. 17) his son up to be crucified for love. "But God demonstrates his love in this, that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us." Romans 5:8To save us from eternal condemnation unto new life in his kingdom.How? God births us from above, bringing us to eternal life in his kingdom when weBELIEVE by looking to the cross of Jesus, that God loved us that much, so that we can LIVE forever with him. We receive abundant, eternal life by trusting his words on being born again. CONCLUSIONA Native American tribal chief was well-known throughout his region for being upright and courageous. To establish justice, he set up a punishment system for crimes.Even after the chief had begun to enforce his stringent policies, thievery was a serious problem. Enraged by the blatant law breaking, he increased the punishment for theft to a severe beating. Not long after he issued this decree, a thief was caught. To the chief's horror, it was his own mother! He was in a state of turmoil: Would he allow his own mother to be beaten and show himself to be unloving, or would he cancel her punishment and show himself to be unjust?His tribe began to wager, some thinking he would be cruel, others that he would be lenient. Finally the time arrived for the punishment to be given. To the shock of everyone, the chief had his mother tied to the post. Surely the woman would die! But just before the first crack of the whip by the ready warrior, the chief called for a halt. He stepped up, wrapped his arms around his mother's small frame, and took the beating himself.This story shows how God is both just and loving.Bottom line: Every person can be born again (from above), enter the kingdom of God, and receive eternal life by looking to the pole (cross) and believing that God loves them that much.The message of the Bible is a simple message about God's love and mercy, about man's sin and need, and about the rescue that's found in Jesus Christ. In simple words Sally Lloyd-Jones captures the love of God demonstrated in the death of his Son:"So you're a king, are you?" the Roman soldiers jeered. "Then you'll need a crown and a robe."They gave Jesus a crown made out of thorns. And put a purple robe on Him. And pretended to bow down to Him."Your Majesty!" they said.Then they whipped Him. And spat on Him. They didn't understand that this was the Prince of Life, the King of heaven and earth, who had come to rescue them.The soldiers made him a sign-"Our King" and nailed itto a wooden cross.They walked up a hill outside the city. Jesus carried the cross on His back. Jesus had never done anything wrong. But they were going to kill Him the way criminals were killed.They nailed Jesus to the cross."Father, forgive them," Jesus gasped. "They don'tunderstand what they're doing.""You say you've come to rescue us!" people shouted. "Butyou can't even rescue yourself!"But they were wrong. Jesus could have rescued Himself. A legion of angels would have flown to His side-if He'd called."If you were really the Son of God, you could just climbdown off that cross!" they saidAnd of course they were right. Jesus could have just climbed down. Actually, He could have just said a word and made it all stop. Like when He healed that little girl. And stilled the storm. And fed five thousand people.But Jesus stayed.You see, they didn't understand. It wasn't the nails that kept Jesus there. It was love. (The Jesus Storybook Bible by Saliy Lloyd-Jones, 302-6)What about you?Peter puts it all in perspective in his first sermon:““Therefore let all Israel be assured of this: God has made this Jesus, whom you crucified, both Lord and Messiah.” When the people heard this, they were cut to the heart and said to Peter and the other apostles, “Brothers, what shall we do?” Peter replied, “Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins.

The works which they view are not there to abide their question, but they reveal their own taste (or lack of it) by their reactions to what they see.The pop-star who was reported some years ago to have dismissed the Mona Lisa as 'a load of rubbish' (except that he used a less polite word than 'rubbish') did not tell us anything about the Mona Lisa; he told us much about himself. What is true in the aesthetic realm is equally true in the spiritual realm. The man who depreciates Christ, or thinks him unworthy of his allegiance, passes judgment on himself, not on Christ.FF Bruce, p. 91The motions to teach/remember John 3:16 "Have you heard about the man who sent a letter to twenty-five men in his town? It said: "All has been exposed. Flee at once." In response, all twenty-five men left town. What would you do if you got a letter like that? Even as Christians, we still feel that tug at our heart that causes us to look for a place to hide in the darkness rather than seeking the light of Christ."

The command to Nicodemus (3:3): Jesus says he needs the new birth.D. The confusion of Nicodemus (3:4): He confuses spiritual birth with physical birth.E. The chastening of Nicodemus (3:9-13): Jesus chides him for not knowing these things even though he is a respected Jewish teacher.F.

https://darienchiropractor.com › your-health-matters-to-uswww.darienchiropractor.comIn this episode of Core Health Darien's podcast, Dr. Brian McKay dives deep into the fascinating world of muscle spindle cells, Golgi tendon organs, and their critical role in modifying pain signals through afferent nerve pathways. These specialized sensory receptors are key players in the body's ability to regulate muscle tension, movement, and pain perception. Dr. McKay explains how the integration of Trigenics, a neurological treatment system, with chiropractic adjustments can amplify the body's natural ability to heal and function.By targeting muscle spindle cells and Golgi tendon organs, Trigenics leverages afferent nerve signaling to “reboot” how the brain communicates with the body. This approach not only reduces pain but also improves functional movement and restores control over areas affected by dysfunction. Dr. McKay explores the brain's pivotal role in pain modulation and how enhancing brain-body communication leads to more sustainable results for patients.Listeners will learn how patients at Core Health Darien benefit from combining Trigenics with chiropractic adjustments to achieve functional enhancements that go beyond pain relief—supporting improved mobility, strength, and long-term recovery. Whether you're a patient, a health professional, or simply curious about innovative pain management techniques, this podcast provides valuable insights into how cutting-edge treatments can unlock the body's potential to heal naturally.Tune in to discover how Core Health Darien is revolutionizing pain relief by bridging the gap between brain control, neurology, and functional health!Core Health Darien-Dr.Brian Mc Kay 551 Post RoadDarien CT 06820203-656-3636https://goo.gl/maps/js6hGWvcwHKBGCZ88https://www.youtube.com/my_videos?o=Uhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/darienchiropractorhttps://www.facebook.com/ChiropractorBrianMckayhttps://sites.google.com/view/corehealthdarien/https://www.google.com/maps?cid=9052981016823215070&hl=enhttps://youtu.be/CTa85YpYBiwhttps://darienchiropractor.com/spinal-decompression/https://maps.app.goo.gl/kbjVbvCn2cAqYZQn6This podcast welcomes your feedback here are several ways to reach out to me.

INTRODUCTIONBorn again. What does that even mean?Sometimes you hear people say they are a "Born-again Christian" as if there is another kind; as if you could be a true Christian any other way. I get why people do that. Am I really born again? That's not a question I would've asked as a young man going to college: I thought I already was. After all, I'd done everything the church had asked me to do growing up: confirmation class, youth choir, Sunday school, youth group, acolyte, even the hand bell choir. I did everything my parents put me in, regarding the church. But I don't ever remember hearing the gospel and responding by grace through faith to the gospel. Maybe that was because I thought I was a Christian by doing all those good things. Well, I wasn't. Not yet.Let me just talk to the students right now for a minute. Many of you have grown up going to church and have done everything asked of you by the church and your parents. You've been active in youth group. You've gone to Sunday school or kids group, and attended church services. Maybe you've even been on a mission trip or gone to summer camp. Maybe you've even prayed a prayer and been baptized. Those are good signs, of course. But the evidence that you are truly a follower of Christ is seen in the fruit of your life and made effective in your life because you were born from above. Not because you grew up going to church and doing all the church stuff. The church stuff is designed to lay a foundation on which to build your own faith in Christ on. The church stuff is to strengthen those who have been born again to not only be right with God in position, but to become right with God in practice. To walk in step with God daily. And to want to do that.Like I said, I grew up in the church doing all the church stuff. And I thought I was a Christian. But I figured out I wasn't a good Christian when I met my future wife. We met in ninth grade and instantly became friends. We started dating our senior year in high school. I saw how she carried herself for those four years in high school--with consistent love and integrity. I met her family and got to see how she was raised; how she was loved by her family; how she was taught by her family in word and deed. I got a glimpse of her church life by going with her to her church a couple of times as well. I probably heard the gospel there for the first time at a lock-in. She was a huge part of me coming to the Christ. Because I don't think I trusted Christ going through confirmation class, I suspect that Anita and I dated before I was a believer. I always council against that whenever you know that to be true. But I was playing the part of a Christian. I knew what to say and do in general and enough to come across as a young immature Christian. And by God's grace, she bought it. Ha ha. Little did I know that I had a lot more to learn about what it means to truly know God, and have a relationship with him because of a supernatural birth from above. I experienced what it means to be born again when I stood at the end of the concert and received Jesus is my Lord and Savior because I just knew I was supposed to.Jesus said to Nicodemus, you must be born again. He said no one can see the kingdom of God, unless they are born again or born from above. My hope is today that you will understand and comprehend what that means today so that should you choose to surrender to Jesus Christ, that you will be born from above today if you haven't already.CONTEXTJohn is transitioning from Jesus's first week of public ministry to conversations between Jesus and individuals. This is framed around the idea that there is more than one kind of belief in Jesus.SERMON Willmington's OUTLINE Bible (JOHN 3):Jesus meets with Nicodemus and tells him in order to be saved, all people must be born again. John the Baptist tells his disciples that Jesus is the Messiah.1. JESUS EXPLAINS THE PLAN OF SALVATION (3:1-21): A man named Nicodemus visits Jesus by night.A. The credentials of Nicodemus (3:1): He is both a member of the Jewish Sanhedrin and a Pharisee.B. The confession of Nicodemus (3:2): He acknowledges that Jesus is from God because of his miracles.C. The command to Nicodemus (3:3): Jesus says he needs the new birth.D. The confusion of Nicodemus (3:4): He confuses spiritual birth with physical birth.E. The chastening of Nicodemus (3:9-13): Jesus chides him for not knowing these things even though he is a respected Jewish teacher.F. The clarification for Nicodemus (3:5-8, 14-15): Jesus employs three illustrations to explain the new birth to Nicodemus. (Cf. Ezekiel 36:25-28)1. A physical illustration (3:5-7): Unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter into the Kingdom of God.2. A natural illustration (3:8): Just as you don't know where the wind comes from or where it is going, so it is impossible to explain being born of the Spirit. Illustration: Imagine how crazy would be for wind to blow through a cemetery and bones to become living people again is no less dramatic than God transforming us from above.3. A scriptural illustration (3:14-15): As Moses lifted up the snake in the wilderness, so must the Son of Man be lifted up.NEXT WEEK:G. The conclusion for Nicodemus (3:16-21): Jesus now summarizes both the subjects of salvation and condemnation!1. The persons (3:16)a. The Father gave his Son (3:16a).b. The Son will give his life (3:16b).CONCLUSIONBottom line: No one can see the kingdom of God unless they are born from above.What about you?Peter puts it all in perspective in his first sermon:““Therefore let all Israel be assured of this: God has made this Jesus, whom you crucified, both Lord and Messiah.” When the people heard this, they were cut to the heart and said to Peter and the other apostles, “Brothers, what shall we do?” Peter replied, “Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. The promise is for you and your children and for all who are far off—for all whom the Lord our God will call.”” ‭‭Acts‬ ‭2‬:‭36‬-‭39‬ ‭NIV‬‬InvitationHow do we respond?

(past, present, and future)PrayNOTESFrom Lesslie Newbigin, p. 36:John 2:23-25"Now when he was in Jerusalem at the Passover feast, many believed in his name when they saw the signs which he did; but Jesus did not trust himself to them, because he knew all men and needed no one to bear witness of man; for he himself knew what was in man.The fact that Jesus performed many miracles of healing is assumed in all versions of the tradition. The synoptics devote much space to those which were performed in Galilee; John— without giving details-implies that Jerusalem was also the scene of such activity and states that as a result "many believed in his name." In the light of what is said in 1:12, where the same phrase is used, this might seem to be an extremely promising development in the mission of Jesus—an early and impressive example of successful evangelism. But it is not so. This belief is based upon "things that are seen"; it is not that faith which is a work of the Spirit who is not seen, and who comes—like the wind-as he will, and comes not from the solid ground below but from above. Jesus-who knows the heart and does not look on the outward appearance (I Sam. 16:7) —does not "believe in" them, even though they "believe in" him."OUTLINESOutline from Willmington's Outline Bible N/AQUESTIONS TO CONSIDERWhat do I want them to know?

INTRODUCTION"Another day in paradise," January 13, 2025, Bill Murphy, Jr."Honest to God, I just could not stop thinking of wonderful things that have happened to me and blessings that I've had, so it was lovely. It was lovely. And I got to a point of grace with about two minutes to spare when I found out it wasn't actually happening.— Jim CarreySeek immediate shelterIt was a beautiful morning. But aren't they all in Hawaii? A little below 80 degrees at the weather station in Oahu, with nearly no cloud cover: the kind of day that people on the mainland sometimes wish they had (but almost never get) at the beginning of January. • Honeymooners were waking up in each others' arms in their hotel rooms. A woman named Lydia Warren and her husband were vacationing on the beach. • A college student named Makena was showing her visiting boyfriend the Pearl Harbor memorial. (It's open at 7 a.m.; who knew?) Her father, a TV news producer named David Patterson, was on the freeway, about to dial into a conference call. • Oh, and here's a quirky one: Actor and comedian Jim Carrey was up early, working on writing a memoir.Then: panic. At 8:08 a.m., Hawaii's civil defense and emergency agency sent an alarming text to every single person in the state with a cell phone. It read, in all caps: "BALLISTIC MISSILE THREAT INBOUND TO HAWAII. SEEK IMMEDIATE SHELTER. THIS IS NOT A DRILL."Local T.V. put a chyron message on the screen as well, against the backdrop of things like a college basketball game between Ole Miss and Florida, or else a Premier League soccer game from London between Tottenham Hotspur and Everton:The U.S. Pacific Command has detected a missile threat to Hawaii. A missile may impact on land or sea within minutes. THIS IS NOT A DRILL. If you are indoors, stay indoors. If you are outdoors, seek immediate shelter in a building. Remain indoors well away from windows. If you are driving, pull safely to the side of the road and seek shelter in a building or lay on the floor. We will announce when the threat has ended. THIS IS NOT A DRILL. Take immediate action measures.Can you even imagine? Of course, you probably remember this -- along with the fact that in the end, there was no inbound missile. By the way, the date was January 13, 2018, so seven years ago today.In fact, officials at the civil defense agency realized this was a mistake pretty quickly, but it took them 38 minutes to confirm that and then figure out how to send a second message telling people that the first alert was in error.There's a lot about this story - but the biggest part that has stayed with me is how people spent those 38 minutes when they thought they and everyone around them was going to die.Lydia Warren and her husband raced back to their hotel -- not so much because they thought it would be safer, but because they thought that their bodies might be more easily identified someday if they were found near where they were staying.David Patterson called his daughter and learned where she was. He told her to use her phone to record video of Pearl Harbor visitors processing the possibility of an imminent attack. She later said this calmed her down, as she figured her father wouldn't tell her to spend what could be her last minutes videoing if he wasn't pretty sure the alert was a mistake.My favorite reaction is probably Jim Carrey's. He was engrossed in work and missed the initial alert, but his assistant called to tell him they had 10 minutes to live. He tried calling his daughter and some other family, wondering if there was any way to get off the island, and finally realizing everything was out of his control.He explained all of this on an episode of The Tonight Show two years later (video here):Jim Carrey: And we had to say goodbye. And I sat on the lanai and looked out at the ocean, and at that point, I started going, "Okay. Well, what can I do with this last moment of time?" And I just decided to go through a list of gratitudes, and honest to God, I just could not stop thinking of wonderful things that have happened to me and blessings that I've had, so it was lovely. It was lovely. And I got to a point of grace with about two minutes to spare when I found out it wasn't actually happening. And all I was planning to do was close my eyes an be thankful, 'cause it's been a good ride.'Jimmy Fallon: What did you do when you found out that it was a fake missile test?Carrey: Then I got pissed off, and heads rolled!The front page headline in the Star-Advertiser newspaper the next day read, in giant type: OOPS! (And in smaller type: "'Wrong button' sends out false missile alert.")Later, officials said that wasn't right; it was instead an employee who was absolute, 100 percent convinced that a missile was en route, and who sent the alert -- but was simply wrong.I guess I've mentioned this theme a few times recently -- but isn't it funny that even being told you are going to die within a few minutes can turn out to be a gift? At least that's what I take away from Carrey's account. Sometimes, I suppose you value things most when you're suddenly about to lose them.As for everyone affected that day, I feel for them. It must have been hard.Then again, after it was all over, they were still in Hawaii.Jesus is AngryJesus is angry. How can Jesus be angry? If God is love, how can Jesus-who is God-get angry? Genuine love is compatible with anger.In fact, genuine love is sometimes demonstrated by anger. At times anger proves love is authentic. Let me give you an example: a friend of mine is passionate about ending modern-day slavery and human trafficking.He writes and speaks about it. He's visited Washington to meet with politicians. He has traveled to foreign countries to learn more about stopping it. He's worked hard to bring it to people's attention. I don't doubt his commitment to ending trafficking. I don't doubt his love for those in slavery. But I would doubt a claim that he never got angry about it. I know his love for the abused is real because he gets angry when he sees the abuse.Jesus gets angry about how the Jews have turned his house of prayer and mission into a house of corrupt commerce. The Court of GentilesThe court of the Gentiles was the one place on the Temple Mount where anyone could engage with the God of Israel formally. But it was clogged with commercial enterprise instead of prayer, worship and evangelism.Matt Carter writes, "Jesus levels a charge, but the charge is not unethical practices. They have twisted the purpose of the temple. Jesus is denouncing impure worship."I would add they've forgotten the purpose of the outer temple court: mission to the nations.We do that too when we make our Sunday worship experience all about our wants and needs. When we see the Lord as he truly is, we are transformed to live on mission with him 24/7.CONTEXTLast week, Ken showed us how Jesus first displayed his power at a wedding in Cana, not far from Nazareth and Capernaum. He discreetly turns water to wine demonstrating his power as Messiah to his disciples and mother. This was part of his first week of public ministry. John called it the first of his "signs," or, miracles that point to who he is and why he's come. From Capernaum, Jesus leads his family and disciples to the temple in Jerusalem to celebrate the Passover together. It's about to get dramatic.We pick it up with Jesus and his disciples in the temple in Jerusalem. This is the only temple of the Jews. It was the symbol of the nation and religion of Israel. It was the icon of their identity and the place where they 1) Met with God, and 2) atoned for their sins. SERMON Every Christian should live zealously for the Lord and his kingdom mission.Why? The answer is the message I'm about to give:It's because of his power, his passion and his promise.I. His power. (2:1-11) We saw last week how he powerfully transformed water to wine. He demonstrated this discreetly to reveal his power to his family and disciples; to help them believe he could powerfully transform our lives too.II. His passion. (2:12-17) We see his passion and zeal for his father's house. In fact, his zeal consumes him. We see this in the cross.Story by Kent Hughes, commentary on John, p. 47"One evening the great conductor Arturo Toscanini conducted Beethoven's Ninth Symphony. It was a brilliant performance, at the end of which the audience went absolutely wild! They clapped, whistled, and stamped their feet, absolutely caught up in the greatness of that performance. As Toscanini stood there, he bowed and bowed and bowed, then acknowledged his orchestra.When the ovation finally began to subside, Toscanini turned and looked intently at his musicians. He was almost out of control as he whispered,"Gentlemen! Gentlemen!" The orchestra leaned forward to listen. In a fiercely enunciated whisper Toscanini said, "Gentlemen, I am nothing." That was an extraordinary admission since Toscanini was blessed with an enormous ego.He added, "Gentlemen, you are nothing." They had heard that same message before the rehearsal. "But Beethoven," said Toscanini in a tone of adoration,"is everything, everything, everything!" This is the attitude we need toward ourselves and toward the Lord Jesus Christ. I am nothing, you are nothing, but he is everything! That was John's attitude, and it is the attitude of every authentic messenger of Christ."III. He promise. (2:18-22) We will see his promise fulfilled in our resurrection one day based on his resurrection 2,000 years ago.CONCLUSIONApplication: When we're tempted to doubt or find ourselves lacking zeal, REMEMBER THE RESURRECTION!From Tim Keller, The Songs of Jesus, p. 153"MISUNDERSTOOD. David is being scorned for his zealous devotion to God (verse 9). When he prays and repents, he is laughed at (verses 10-11). His world is not so different from ours. Even when Christianity was taken for granted by Western society, the most devoted believers were silently laughed at.Today they are also despised. The world does not understand the Gospel of grace, in which holy living is the result of humble, grateful joy, not a way to earn heaven. The world therefore sees all righteous living as self-righteousness and bigotry. We should not be surprised at this (2 Timothy 3:12), but we should also undermine this false narrative by living lives of humility, forgiveness, and sacrificial service to others."Bottom line: Every Christian should live zealously for the Lord and his kingdom mission.What about you?Peter puts it all in perspective in his first sermon:““Therefore let all Israel be assured of this: God has made this Jesus, whom you crucified, both Lord and Messiah.” When the people heard this, they were cut to the heart and said to Peter and the other apostles, “Brothers, what shall we do?” Peter replied, “Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. The promise is for you and your children and for all who are far off—for all whom the Lord our God will call.”” ‭‭Acts‬ ‭2‬:‭36‬-‭39‬ ‭NIV‬‬InvitationHow do we respond?

And it is to the degree that it is filled with true believers. But I'd take it further. As a part of the better, spiritual temple of God, I must make sure I don't approach my time of worship as a transactional exchange with God where I show up, maybe serve a little bit, give a little bit, pray a little bit, and then expect God to bless me because I earned it.OUTLINESOutline from Willmington's Outline Bible N/AQUESTIONS TO CONSIDERWhat do I want them to know?

Or set it up as an A-frame closer to the front.Bottom line: Following Jesus is humbling ourselves and apprenticing to lead people to Jesus as part of a supernatural way of life.1. INTRODUCTION2.

MAIN REFERENCES USEDMy opening prayer: Lord God, help us grow to be and do like Jesus, while abiding in him and leading others to do the same. INTRODUCTIONWelcome 2025! Apparently, I'll be learning more new things in 2025. We've been homeowners for at least 25 years and I learned something new about owning a home this weekend. We had our house re-roofed recently and I learned that when that happens, a lot of debris rains down onto the things you have stored in the attic! So I learned something new!We talk a lot about following Jesus here at Grace. And it's tempting to think that once you hear a sermon or two on that you're good to move on. But the Bible revisits it quite a lot. And since we're preaching through the Bible, we will repeat that a lot too. But here's the thing: Every topic you could choose to hear a sermon on relies heavily on understanding what it means to follow Jesus. Well John is going to go there with us today. Both John's, in fact. So here we go!CONTEXTThis series is called Signs & Glory. Zooming out, this book of the Bible by John the Apostle or Disciple is written that we might believe that Jesus is the Messiah and the Son of God and that by believing have life in his name. That's the point of this gospel account of the life, death and resurrection of Jesus the Christ.Zooming in further, we see this gospel account divided into 2 major sections. The first 12 chapters will show us the 7 signs of belief along with many others truths that illustrate and justify the teachings of Jesus. Chapters 13-20 will show us the glory of God on full display. We'll see the light, life and love of God through his divine AND human son, Jesus of Nazareth during the last week of his life.In John 1:19-2:12, the apostle John begins his gospel narrative like the synoptic gospels (Matthew, Mark & Luke) do: Beginning with John the Baptist. This chunk of scripture covers Jesus' first week of public ministry. It skips his actual baptism, though he implies it. It also skips his 40 days being tempted by Satan in the wilderness. John assumes his readers already know about this and, even if they don't, it's well covered in the synoptic gospels already. He's moving on so he can focus on the themes he feels led to focus on.6 of the 7 days are mentioned so we'll point those out along the way. Verse 19 is day 1 of his first week.The first 12 chapters of John are about the Signs of the Messiah. After that, John's focus is on the Glory of the Messiah. SERMON What does following Jesus mean/look like?- Learning/apprenticing (Disciple) - Information vs - Transformation- Going (Evangelist-->Apostle) - Most of disciples were brought to Jesus by a disciple of Jesus - Start with those closest to you- Leading Others #LOTDTS - Jesus modeled this from the beginning - This isn't about gifting--this is about obedience- Living/experiencing Supernatural life - Story 1 - Story 2- Lord's Supper tie-inCONCLUSION"ON A DARK NIGHT about a hundred years ago a Scottish missionary couple found themselves surrounded by cannibals intent on taking their lives. On that terror-filled night the couple fell to their knees and prayed that God would protect them. It was a horrible time. Intermittent with their prayers, the missionaries heard the cries of the savages and imagined them coming through the door to take their lives. As the sun began to rise, to their astonishment they found that the natives were retreating into the forest. The missionaries were absolutely amazed and filled with joy. Their hearts soared to God. It was a day of rejoicing!The couple bravely continued their work. A year later the chieftain of that tribe was saved. As the missionary spoke with him, he remembered the horror of that night and asked the chieftain why he and his men had not killed them.The chieftain replied in surprise, "Who were all those men who were with you?" The missionary answered, "There were no men with us. It was just my wife and myself." The chieftain began to argue with him, saying, "There were hundreds of tall men in shining garments with drawn swords circling about your house, so we could not attack you."That story, recorded in Billy Graham's book Angels, is one of the greatest stories in missionary history. The missionary was the almost legendary John G. Paton of the New Hebrides. What a glorious story for the church — a story not often repeated or experienced, yet one that does have contemporary parallels.""Another vivid story was shared with me by a respectable Southern California pastor's wife. One evening she was driving down the Santa Ana Freeway, which is always busy. As she drove down that freeway, somehow the car door opened, and her four-year-old child tumbled out onto the freeway amidst the high-speed traffic. With her heart pounding and with horrible expectations, she pulled her car to a screeching stop and ran frantically back along the freeway. But she did not expect to see what she saw. Her child was sitting up in the fast lane of the freeway amidst the glare of headlights, his only injuries a few abrasions. The first words that came out of his mouth were, "Mommy, Mommy, I saw Jesus put up his hands and stop the cars!" Was that a child's imagination? Possibly. None of the drivers saw anyone. They just managed to stop their cars and miss him. The boy had been raised in a pious home, so perhaps he was just parroting what he had heard others say. On the other hand, it may indeed have been angelic intervention, considering the incredible danger in that unusual situation."Both from Kent Hughes commentary, pp. 51-52Bottom line: Following Jesus is humbling ourselves and apprenticing to lead people to Jesus as part of a supernatural way of life.What about you?Peter puts it all in perspective in his first sermon:““Therefore let all Israel be assured of this: God has made this Jesus, whom you crucified, both Lord and Messiah.” When the people heard this, they were cut to the heart and said to Peter and the other apostles, “Brothers, what shall we do?” Peter replied, “Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. The promise is for you and your children and for all who are far off—for all whom the Lord our God will call.”” ‭‭Acts‬ ‭2‬:‭36‬-‭39‬ ‭NIV‬‬InvitationHow do we respond?

Catch Headache Video Here : Have you ever experienced a headache that's far more intense than usual and localized to one side of your face, accompanied by perhaps some tearing or nasal congestion? These could be signs of Trigeminal Autonomic Cephalgia (TAC), a condition that's significantly more debilitating than your typical headache. Distinguishing between these and more common types of headaches is not just about managing pain but understanding a possibly serious underlying condition. Understanding trigeminal autonomic cephalalgias (TACs) begins with recognizing their unique and debilitating symptoms. As an experienced chiropractor for headaches, Dr. Brian McKay of Core Health in Darien offers cutting-edge therapy to eliminate TAC's. TAC's often present with unilateral pain that can be excruciatingly severe. This pain is frequently accompanied by autonomic symptoms such as eye watering, nasal congestion, or eyelid drooping, primarily affecting one side of your face. Dr. Brian McKay and his team specialize in non-medication headache relief techniques, which can be particularly beneficial if you're dealing with the intense pain of TACs.This podcast welcomes your feedback here are several ways to reach out to me.

TAINTED, 11min,. Singapore Directed by Ian Wee In a world driven by corporate greed and unethical genetic experimentation, Darien, the pioneering human clone, finds himself obsolete against a superior 2nd Generation Clone, leading to his and his mentor's targeting. Following his mentor's death, Darien's hidden hybrid nature—combining human and vampire DNA—surfaces during a critical confrontation, granting him unexpected survival. Marked as a “Tainted” failure yet possessing newfound powers, Darien faces an ambiguous future, embodying the narrative's critique of ambition's perils and the poignant fallout of manipulative sciences. http://www.brightvoxelstudios.com/ https://www.instagram.com/film_tainted/ Get to know writer/producer Graham John Lamb: What motivated you to make this film? I was Virtual Production Supervisor on a film in Singapore, when the IMDA (InfoComm Media Development Authority Singapore) announced that they were funding projects in this particular area. My producer, director and director of photography were at the time over in the UK at the National Film and Television School also attending a Virtual Production immersion program aimed at industry professionals to learn about this new way of film making. So excited with this new surge of enthusiasm I asked Jeffrey about joining this content creation initiative and we all got together and created Tainted. What were your initial reactions when watching the audience talking about your film in the feedback video? Honestly I got a little teary, when I was looking at the reviews, I am greatly appreciative that the reviewers talk about the whole film in general from stunts, makeup, sound & music to performance and that really shows that the team was really the best – such a dynamic group all around and I have nothing but high praise for everyone involved.

https://rumble.com/embed/v5necnn/?pub=13ry0f In an in person interview at Doug Casey's home in Argentina, Tom Bodrovics hosts Michael Yon and Ivor Cummins. The discussion revolves around the profound shifts in the global order post-Trump election. Michael Yon, a combat correspondent, author, and former Green Beret, underscores this era as pivotal due to evolving geopolitical dynamics rather than the election itself. He believes globalism, an age-old concept, gains traction with modern technology. Yon implicates certain entities, namely Zionists, seeking control over specific territories for their interests. He warns of their intent to target Iran, Hamas in Gaza, Hezbollah, and Russia. Furthermore, he highlights the struggle between oligarchs, some aiming to decrease the world population and deindustrialize Europe. The conversation delves into U.S. intentions behind the Nord Stream pipeline conflict with Russia. Factors include maintaining geopolitical distance, economic implications, and European deindustrialization. Threats from the U.S. towards fertilizer and agriculture sectors as potential means to instigate famines are also examined. Michael questions Trump's ability to end wars based on campaign promises and cautions about their unpredictability and longevity. He introduces concepts like staked goat tactics and green flag attacks, hinting at potential deception in conflicts. Emphasizing the significance of clear language and context, Michael defines ongoing issues as invasions instead of crises or migrations. Weaponized migration as an ancient tactic of warfare is also discussed. Possible safe havens for personal freedom and security are debated, with reference to Doug Casey's preferred countries. The evolving perspective on drugs as weapons is addressed, including historical examples like the opium wars. Various forms of warfare, such as drug warfare and information warfare, are explored as tools used by adversaries to disrupt societies. Personal insights from Asia regarding Chinese infiltration into American political systems and banking sectors are shared. The detrimental effects of drugs on families and society are acknowledged, with concerns about their potential to weaken resistance against adversaries' strategies. Criticisms of political figures like Trump and Harris are voiced, as well as HIAS's role in facilitating migration through the Darien gap in Panama. Influential figures like Alejandro Mayorkas, now leading the Department of Homeland Security, are mentioned in this context.

In the late 17th century, Scotland tried to establish a colony in Panama - and it all went horribly wrong.In July 1698, a fleet of five ships departed from the Firth of Forth with some 1,200 people onboard. They were bound for the Isthmus of Panama, a paradise in Central America, and their goal was to establish Scotland's first colony - New Caledonia. It was a bold, desperate gamble, intended to save Scotland from financial ruin. But only one year later, most of the settlers were dead, and the colony had been abandoned.To tell us about the Darien scheme and how it all went wrong, we're joined by Douglas Watt, author of 'The Price of Scotland'. He explains what happened when the settlers arrived in Panama and the consequences for Scotland as a whole.Produced by James Hickmann and edited by Dougal Patmore.Enjoy unlimited access to award-winning original documentaries that are released weekly and AD-FREE podcasts.
