Luke 2:8-14Living BibleThat night some shepherds were in the fields outside the village, guarding their flocks of sheep.  Suddenly an angel appeared among them, and the landscape shone bright with the glory of the Lord. They were badly frightened, but the angel reassured them.“Don't be afraid!” he said. “I bring you the most joyful news ever announced, and it is for everyone! The Savior—yes, the Messiah, the Lord—has been born tonight in Bethlehem! How will you recognize him? You will find a baby wrapped in a blanket,[b] lying in a manger!”Suddenly, the angel was joined by a vast host of others-the armies of heaven—praising God:“Glory to God in the highest heaven,” they sang,[c] “and peace on earth for all those pleasing him.”Imagine for a moment that you're a shepherd back in the B.C. days. It's just another cold, lonely, pitch-dark night, sitting by the fire, watching the sheep. Then, suddenly, a blinding light pierces through the blackness, and you're face to face with an angel. He sees the terror in your eyes, knows you think that he has come to kill you because of your sin and low position, so then he declares, “Don't be scared. I have good news of great joy for all people.”  Disbelief overwhelms reality as you think, “Why me? And why here? … Aren't there some important people somewhere to do this? After all, we're just shepherds.”Shepherds, as a stereotype, had a reputation for being low-lives, men of bad reputation. They didn't observe the ceremonial law and were not religious men. They were so known for stealing and dishonesty that their testimony would not be considered reliable enough to testify in court. Think about that… God chose first to announce He was here to these men of bad reputation. He made His birth announcement to the least of these, setting a pattern for His Son's ministry.On that night, that holy night, everything changed and the broken, rejected, lowest of society were the ones that God chose to tell first. The words of the beautiful song, Oh Holy Night, capture the essence of that encounter.As we finish our time together - let me read you the words for this beautiful song. O holy night, the stars are brightly shining, It is the night of the dear Saviour's birth; Long lay the world in sin and error pining, 'Till he appeared and the soul felt its worth. A thrill of hope the weary world rejoices, For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn; Fall on your knees, Oh hear the angel voices! O night divine! O night when Christ was born.Father, we thank you for this time of joyful waiting. May the hope and joy of this season fill our hearts and make us living signs of your love for a world that hungers for your peace. Immanuel, God with us. Amen

Hallo und herzlich willkommen bei dieser neuen Folge von Miauz Genau! Es ist einige Zeit seit der Veröffentlichung des DLCs von Pokémon Legenden: ZA vergangen, und wir stellen uns daher eifrig die Frage: Wie gut ist das DLC? Ist es sein Geld wert – und welche Story wird eigentlich konkret erzählt? Für dieses besondere Review habe ich mir in den Mauzi-Ballon nicht nur einen Co-Host eingeladen, sondern gleich zwei: Valentina und Liam reisen mit mir von Dimensionsloch zu Dimensionsloch und zerstören die Hoffnungen und Träume unschuldiger Bürger von Illumina City. Spielen wir mit dem Protagonisten einen waschechten Tyrannen? Warum trinkt ein kleines Kind schon Kaffee, und wie viel Suspension of Disbelief muss man im DLC mitbringen? Viel Spaß bei der neuen Folge! ____________ Das erwähnte Epitaff Tutorial von LEOsMIND: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s525EX3IDyw

Jon Herold and Zak Paine continue their deep examination of MKUltra, recovered memories, and the systems built to discredit survivors of extreme abuse. This episode centers on the creation and purpose of the False Memory Syndrome Foundation, breaking down how psychology, academia, and media were used to cast doubt on childhood trauma testimony. Jon and Zak walk through documented cases, survivor accounts, and historical context to explain trauma bonding, memory suppression, and the role of institutions in protecting perpetrators. They connect these patterns to modern information warfare, showing how authority and consensus are used to shape belief and dismiss uncomfortable truths. Episode 163 provides critical context for understanding how reality can be engineered, and why certain stories are labeled “baseless” before they're ever examined.

Bible StudyDon't just take our word for it . . . take His! We would encourage you to spend time examining the following Scriptures that shaped this sermon: .Sermon Notes:1. Why Did John Doubt?John is imprisoned after confronting Herod.From prison he hears Jesus' ministry reports.Jesus is not matching his expectations:John expected judgment (axe, winnowing fork).Jesus is healing, teaching mercy, loving enemies.Doubt often grows when God doesn't meet our expectations.We risk:Disbelief (walking away), orIdolatry (reshaping God into our image).2. What Did John Do With His Doubt?He brought his question directly to Jesus.The Psalms model honest questioning (“How long, Lord?”).Honest questions brought to God are themselves an act of faith.We bring our doubts to:Prayer,Scripture,Community (church, classes, Alpha).3. How Did Jesus Respond?Jesus doesn't condemn John.He points to evidence: “What you see and hear”—lives changed, people healed, good news preached.He points John back to Scripture (Isaiah).Jesus gently corrects John's expectations and strengthens his faith.God often strengthens us by showing us His work in others' lives.ConclusionThe final answer to our doubt is not an argument—but a person: Jesus.Discussion Questions:1. Is it surprising to you that great saints sometimes experience great doubt and discouragement?2. Can you think of a time when God didn't meet your expectations?3. Why is bringing our doubts to God itself an act of faith?4. What are the two things Jesus does in response to John's question? How might those also help us in times of doubt or discouragement?5. Do our doubts separate us from Jesus?Questions?Do you have a question about today's sermon? Email Randy Forrester ().

In the week leading up to our Christmas services, Pastor Trevor explores the difference between disbelief and curiosity through the stories of Zechariah and Mary. Both were promised a miracle, but their responses revealed two very different postures of the heart. This message challenges us to ask not “Is this possible?” but “God, how do You want to do this?”Want to learn more about Radical?Instagram: @radicalchurchFacebook: www.facebook.com/radicalchurchtxWebsite: www.radicalchurch.lifeRadical Church | Sundays | 8:15AM, 9:45AM, 11:15AM & 12:55PM1151 Bunton Creek Rd Ste 1001, Kyle, TX 78640

“Humans didn't evolve to believe in gods — we evolved to learn from culture, and sometimes culture points away from gods.”Dr Will M. Gervais, psychologist and author of Disbelief, joins Humanism Now to examine one of the most persistent puzzles in the study of religion: why a species capable of deep religiosity also produces millions of convinced non-believers. Drawing on cultural evolution, cognitive science, and cross-cultural data, Will shows why belief and disbelief are shaped less by raw rationality than by social signals, security, and learning environments.Contact & resources;Website – http://willgervais.com/University profile – https://www.brunel.ac.uk/people/will-gervaisResearchGate – https://www.researchgate.net/scientific-contributions/Will-M-Gervais-16312567Disbelief – Gervais (2023) – https://blackwells.co.uk/bookshop/product/Disbelief-by-Will-M-Gervais/9781633889248Topics we cover• Why humans evolved a capacity for religion, not a destiny to believe • The twin puzzles of belief and disbelief explained scientifically • Why comfort-based and “God-spot” theories fall short • Cultural signals, credible displays, and how communities transmit belief • Why atheism often emerges where signals are mixed or muted • Weak and fragile links between analytic thinking and non-belief • Moral distrust of atheists — and what behavioural data actually show • Differences in moral style rather than moral behaviour • Agnosticism as a distinct epistemic position, not a midpoint • Existential security and why stable societies secularise • Cultural evolution and the “big gods” hypothesis • Why scientific self-correction matters more than tribal loyaltySend us a textSupport the showSupport Humanism Now & Join Our Community!

The tomb where Jesus' dead body had been laid is now empty because Jesus has been raised from the dead. There are four responses to the resurrection of Jesus. Doubt, Devotion, Disbelief, and Denial.

 “Informed Disbelief” ; IPS Deprogram December the 3rd, 2025.The recording focuses on defining and advocating for the "off-world stage perspective," which is presented as an active mode of media observation and analysis, contrasting sharply with the passive media consumption found in both mainstream and alternative (alt-media) spheres. The speaker asserts that both mainstream and alt-media audiences are susceptible to "mind viruses," or passively acquired belief systems that radicalize people and are spread evangelically by carriers. Alt-media followers ("truthers") are criticized as being just as dogmatic and deceived as mainstreamers, often serving as "alternative controlled opposition talking points" or "propaganda mules" who are "locked into those issues".A core premise of the off-world stage perspective is the recognition that the world stage is an "invisible cage" and a "system based on lies". Key events are not spontaneous but are "proactively inserted into our timeline" and "planned decades in advance" as part of a sophisticated, closed informational system that maintains a "worldview monopoly".The immediate goal is to scale up outreach to those who have already "seen through the deception" but lack a platform for their perspective, using target marketing and AI agents to reach those who noticed specific media events (like the "Charlie Kirk thing") were fake. The speaker emphasizes the necessity of maintaining a "higher standard of evidence" and "informed disbelief" to avoid the pitfalls of low-information belief or disbelief. The central barrier preventing people from adopting this view is often the ego, which resists admitting being wrong or stepping outside the established, compartmentalized paradigms of the info war."The beginning of wisdom is the ability to call things by their right names.""Because they're adhering to the mainstream unchallenged propaganda. But the alt-media people are just as dogmatic, just as deceived.""If you're carrying any red pills, you're a fool... because you've been served alternative controlled opposition talking points...""So what the off-world stage perspective offers is an active mode of media observation and analysis.""If you can't prove it's fake to a normie, a skeptic, then you don't have anything. You just have an opinion.""These events are planned decades in advance.""If you're not anti-anti, you're one of them.""You have to get out of the role of info warrior."Critique of Passive Consumption: Both mainstream and alt-media audiences are passive recipients whose minds are like "open garbage cans for big brother to dump its garbage into".The Role of Mind Viruses: Belief systems, or "mind viruses," are passively taken in and aggregated, leading to rigid, dogmatic beliefs that are impervious to logic and facts.The "Off-World Stage Perspective" (OWSP): This perspective requires stepping "outside of this movie paradigm" and acting as a media analyst engaging in a philosophic breakdown, rather than a media consumer.Media Duopoly and Triangulation: Mass media is designed to include the alternative so they remain inside the system, maintaining a bifurcated "info war" that keeps people distracted and fighting.Fake Events and Planning: Major fake events (psyops) are not random; they are planned 10, 15, 20, 30 years in advance and are proactively cemented into history.Religiosity in Media: Alt-media individuals often exhibit "religiosity," holding beliefs without evidence, using emotion and dogma rather than objective facts, similar to religious beliefs.The Ego as a Guardrail: The ego is the "main guardrail" preventing people from acknowledging they are wrong or changing their perspective, even when confronted with facts.Skepticism vs. Incredulity: True skepticism requires knowledge of the issue being refuted and suspension of judgment, whereas incredulity is "low information disbelief" that ignores information and mocks the opposing view.

IPS DEPROGRAM “HOAX INDICATORS AND INFORMED DISBELIEF”The speaker in this excerpt from an MP3 discusses a new article titled "Hoax Indicators and Informed Disbelief," arguing for a skeptical approach to mainstream media that avoids automatically calling events fake, instead advocating for the position of the "informed disbeliever." This stance requires suspending judgment and using a working list of "hoax indicators"—such as concurrent media programming, crisis actors, celebrity involvement, deviations from protocol, and predictable event templates—to raise significant doubts about an event's veracity. The speaker asserts that many supposed real-world events, like the Charlie Kirk incident, are actually pre-scheduled and scripted psychological operations (Psyops) that become "fake history," often leveraging a "controlled opposition" narrative where both mainstream and alternative media promote a shared "big lie" about an event's reality. The central premise is that media fakery is systemic and that an awareness of this "off-world stage perspective" is necessary to avoid being a "propaganda mule" consumed by the media's manufactured worldview, which is analogized to a state religion or "News Testament."Here are five quotes from the source material:"Reflexively calling something fake is the same error as automatically calling it true.""The entire point of a psychological operation is to deceive.""We should instead take the position of the informed disbeliever.""Real events tend not to have the problem reaction solution template attached.""That fake news is being used to proactively create history."

Despite frequent reports of severe pain, many trauma patients receive little or no analgesia from paramedics. This gap often stems from a mix of cultural and clinical factors — fear of masking injuries or altering mental status, concern about hypotension or respiratory depression, limited drug options, and restrictive protocols that demand physician approval. Some medics also hesitate due to ingrained bias, uncertainty about patient honesty, or past experiences with drug-seeking behavior. Together, these barriers create a pattern of “under-treating” pain in the field, even when timely relief could improve outcomes and patient trust.

  In this episode of Around the World with Yusko, Mark Yusko applies Samuel Taylor Coleridge's concept of the "willing suspension of disbelief" to today's markets, challenging listeners to separate optimism from economic reality. From the birth of central banking to the AI-driven boom, Yusko traces how belief, leverage, and monetary policy have fueled centuries of speculative cycles. He examines bubbles from WeWork and Beyond Meat to nuclear startups and quantum computing, highlighting the widening gap between enthusiasm and the underlying fundamentals. Along the way, he contrasts fiat devaluation with the strength of scarce assets like gold and Bitcoin, dissects the "infinite money glitch" behind tech valuations, and considers what history suggests about the next correction. Blending sharp analysis and perspective, this episode offers a global, data-driven look at where he thinks we are in the investment cycle.  Want more?     Watch the "Around The World With Yusko" webinar series live by contacting us at ir@morgancreekcap.com.

On October 7, 2023, exactly two years ago, an unimaginable horror overtook southern Israel. We all recall when we found out. The shock. Disbelief. Which only intensified with time.And the unanswered questions. So. Many questions.It seemed appropriate to publish this podcast today. In this episode, Ya'akov Katz, a regular guest on State of Tel Aviv and Beyond, discusses a book he has co-authored with Amir Bohbot; an expose that looks at the damning evidence and records of what happened. And what, tragically, did not. Where was the army? Air Force? What took so long for help to arrive as Hamas was slaughtering its way through southern Israel, unimpeded? Why? How?Amir and Ya'akov had been working on a different book when October 7 happened, and they quickly pivoted. Both have extensive backgrounds in military affairs and related fields which they bring to bear in this daunting project. The book is superb. Truly - a page turner. Published on September 2, it has already made one or two bestseller lists in the U.S. Most importantly, it begins a long-awaited examination of facts. Some of which are discussed publicly here for the first time. In this episode, Ya'akov discusses the failure of every critical security, intelligence, and political institution to interpret the information available to prevent one of the greatest disasters in Jewish history.Show your support for STLV at buymeacoffee.com/stateoftelavivPodcast Notes:“Crisply written... draws on excellent sources within Israel's military and intelligence services.” —The Wall Street JournalA powerful indictment of the political and military decisions that led to October 7While Israel Slept tells the gripping inside story of how Hamas, Israel's weakest enemy, succeeded in launching a surprise attack on one of the world's most powerful militaries. Through a detailed examination of the events leading up to October 7, 2023, the book exposes the intelligence and strategic failures that enabled this devastating invasion. It takes readers back in time, showing how years of complacency, mistaken intelligence analysis, and a misguided policy of containment enabled Hamas to prepare for an assault that Israel did not believe was possible and that would change the Middle East.The book unveils the dramatic events of the night before the attack, highlighting the cracks in Israel's military and political leadership. It provides unprecedented details on how key warnings were missed, and how Israel ignored the growing threat from Hamas, believing that the group was weak and deterred. By exposing these failures, While Israel Slept offers a stark, sobering account of how overconfidence and complacency paved the way for disaster, while underscoring the critical lessons Israel must embrace to safeguard its future.Yaakov Katz is an Israeli-American author and journalist. Between 2016 and 2023, Yaakov was editor-in-chief of The Jerusalem Post where he continues to write a popular weekly column.He is the author of three books: “Shadow Strike – Inside Israel's Secret Mission to Eliminate Syrian Nuclear Power”, “Weapon Wizards—How Israel Became a High-Tech Military Superpower” and “Israel vs. Iran: The Shadow War.”Prior to taking up the role of editor-in-chief, Yaakov served for two years as a senior policy adviser to Naftali Bennett during his tenure as Israel's Minister of Economy and Minister of Diaspora Affairs.In 2013, Yaakov was one of 12 international fellows to spend a year at the Nieman Foundation for Journalism at Harvard University.Originally from Chicago, Yaakov has a law degree from Bar Ilan University.

Like Jairus and the bleeding woman, we all face moments of profound brokenness—in our health, our relationships, our plans, and even our faith.

In this episode of the Journey Beyond Divorce Podcast, I sit down with Marc Azoulay, psychotherapist and founder of Men's Therapy Online, for a raw and powerful conversation about the struggles men face during and after divorce. Too often, men are left to navigate their grief alone—raised to be stoic, self-sufficient, and emotionally guarded. But when divorce shatters their world, the quiet reckoning sets in. Identity collapses. Numbness and rage surface. Disbelief lingers. Many men find themselves staring at the wreckage of what used to be, barely recognizing who they are anymore. Marc and I explore what it really takes for men to move through this kind of pain and begin rebuilding their lives. We talk about the collapse of identity after divorce, the hidden cost of traditional masculinity, and why community, mentorship, and ritual are essential for healing. Marc offers practical guidance for finding structure and meaning again, navigating co-parenting while hurting, and stepping back into dating without the masks that keep men disconnected from their truth. He also shares the deeper practices that help men reclaim themselves and rise stronger—on their terms. Marc Azoulay, LPC, LAC, CGP, ACS, is the founder of Men's Therapy Online, a groundbreaking healing community that combines psychoanalysis, neuroscience, and Buddhism. His work—whether through group counseling, individual therapy, or wilderness retreats—creates safe spaces where men can confront their grief, break down unconscious barriers, and discover the man they were always meant to be. If you are a man navigating the grief of divorce and searching for clarity, brotherhood, and strength, this episode will offer both insight and a path forward.

John shares his raw feelings after the shocking assassination of Charlie Kirk on September 10, 2025, in Utah.

Insights from Peter Cohan on his book, "Suspending Disbelief", while in conversation with Subhanjan Sarkar.

Hey Retro Fans!

Aug 10, 2025  GRAND PARKWAY BAPTIST CHURCHNeil McClendon, Lead PastorGrand Parkway Baptist ChurchThinking Through The QuestionsMatthew 3:13-171. What does it look like to be missional? v. 132. Why does Jesus get baptized? Four reasons Jesus gets baptized… a) identifies with the people b) submits to the will of the Father c) practices what He preaches- Matthew 28:18-20 d) to fulfill all righteousness   Two ways… 1) confirms John as the forerunner to the Messiah 2) confirms Jesus as the Messiah • Isaiah 42:1 • Acts 8:30-353. What are my real needs?, v. 17Our three biggest needs… a) identity- “This is my son…" b) affection- …whom I love…" Could we with ink the ocean fill and were the skies of parchment made,  were ev'ry stalk on earth a quill and ev'ry man a scribe by trade,  to write the love of God above would drain the ocean dry;  nor could the scroll contain the whole, tho' stretched from sky to sky.  • Disbelief- the inability to accept something as true • Unbelief- the unwillingness to believec) acceptance- “...with whom I am well pleased.” Three back to school questions… 1) “In God, who's word I praise, in God I trust; I shall not be afraid. What can flesh (people) do to me?” - Psalm 56:4 2) “The Lord is my light and my salvation whom shall I fear: The Lord is the stronghold of my life: of whom shall I be afraid?”  - Psalm 27:1 1) Why are you cast down, O my soul, and why are you in turmoil within me? Hope in God; for I shall again praise him, my salvation and my God.”  - Psalm 42:5Mental worship… 1. If un-seized time flow to your weakness, where does your unseized time most often go? 2. Which is bigger, your “from” or your “to?”  3. Have you ever been baptized? Why did you or why haven't you?  4. Are you more guilty of disbelief or unbelief?  5. Where were you when you really understood the love of God for what it is?  6. Who's acceptance do you probably want too much?

On this chilling episode of Late Night Legends, K leads the team into one of the most infamous cases in paranormal history: the story of Annabelle the Doll. Joined by Tim, Maria, and Charlie, the crew unravels the unsettling origin and growing mythology around this seemingly innocent Raggedy Ann doll turned alleged demonic vessel.We explore the original 1970s haunting, when a nursing student claimed Annabelle moved on her own and left eerie handwritten notes. Things escalated until the case caught the attention of famed demonologists Ed and Lorraine Warren, who locked her away in their Occult Museum with a warning: “Positively Do Not Open.”But the legend didn't end there. From rumors of her “escape” in 2020, to viral TikToks, museum controversies, and the cultural impact of the Conjuring universe, K guides the team through recent developments, raising the question: is this truly a haunted artifact—or the most brilliant paranormal PR campaign of all time?The Legends are split down the middle. Is Annabelle a genuine case of possession… or just a well-stitched con?

In this episode, Robert covers the “disbelief rally” and explains why the loudest skeptics might be missing the bigger picture. He breaks down what's really powering the market beneath the surface, how to spot the signals most investors overlook, and why this setup could lead to one of the strongest runs in years. From stimulus tailwinds to the psychology of missing out, he shares how he's positioning now and why comparison is still the ultimate thief of joy. Plus, a listener question on missed opportunity regrets, and how to stay sharp during a bull market.

Co-directors Richard Moore and John Doggett Williams invite audiences into the space of pain, discomfort, and body exploration with their searing, curiously tender, and wonderfully life-enriching documentary Stelarc Suspending Disbelief. This occasionally profound experience follows performance artist Stelarc, a Cyprus-born Australian artist who was raised in the suburbs of Melbourne and found a path towards exploring mortality, death, and what it means to be alive through artwork that many might consider extreme or provocative, but for this pain-experiencing audience member, I found his artwork all embracing in its presentation of discomfort and finding peace within that space.Those things, and many more, sit behind this conversation with Richard Moore, recorded ahead of the documentaries screenings at Perth's Revelation Film Festival on 9th and 11th of July, and the Castlemaine Documentary Festival on 4 July 2025.

“The subject of affairs, I think it's of interest to everybody. We have all had an Oedipal experience - we've all been babies who have at some point realized that we are not the only person. We're not perfectly fused with our mother, and she has other things to do, and there may be a father. We've all known what rejection feels like, and probably betrayal, and I think that affairs are in our unconscious. I think that's sort of evident in the way that most great novels, most great films, or at least many, have an affair at their heart. From Anna Karenina to Madame Bovary to Fatal Attraction, I think this is something that is just interesting. I wanted to write about affairs because I think they are a way of showing what psychoanalysis can do in a field in which everyone has an opinion on, and probably most people, in some way, have been indirectly or directly affected by. That was really the sort of the genesis for wanting to write about affairs.” Episode Description: We consider the challenge of writing about dynamic treatments in a manner that is accessible to the non-clinical reader. Juliet's book about affairs opens up this widely recognized experience and adds intrapsychic insights without using emotionally - distancing jargon. She introduces us to individuals who have been involved in affairs, with carefully protected confidentiality, who generally reveal the power of past experiences to influence adult choices. Some end happily, and some end in agony. Juliet demonstrates the usefulness of bringing a dynamic listening to both accepting and deepening each individual's lifelong search for love.   Our Guest: Juliet Rosenfeld is a psychoanalyst and a member of the British Psychoanalytical Society, London. She studied at Oxford before a 15-year career in advertising and marketing, ending up in Government Communications. During this time, she began a Master's at the Tavistock and Portman Trust in Organizational Consultancy and started training as a psychotherapist a year later. She qualified as an integrative psychotherapist in 2012. Juliet was an elected trustee of the UK Council of Psychotherapy for four years, and is presently one of two clinician Trustees at the Freud Museum London, Sigmund Freud's final home. Juliet is the author of two books, The State of Disbelief ( 2020) and Affairs, True Stories of Love, Lies, Hope and Desire. Juliet's broader interest is in how psychoanalysis might be more accessible, and its ideas put into non-clinical language for audiences who may never be able to access psychotherapy themselves but are curious about what the unconscious means and what goes on in the consulting room.
