My guest today is Tom Bilyeu, the entrepreneur behind Quest Nutrition who went on to build Impact Theory into one of the most watched long form interview channels in the world. Tom is now building a procedurally generated video game called Kyzen, and in recent years his content has shifted away from personal development and toward economics, artificial intelligence, and the systems that quietly shape how we live. I wanted to sit with him inside that shift, to understand what pulled him away from the mindset conversation he had mastered and toward questions about money, power, and the trajectory of intelligence itself.What We Dive Into:1. Tom credits his success to a simple loop: predict an outcome, run the experiment, and stay honest about what actually happened. He treats being wrong as useful data rather than a threat to his identity, which lets him adjust quickly instead of defending a position that clearly isn't working anymore.2. Tom argues that meaning isn't discovered but handed to us by evolution as an empty box we get to fill. For him that box holds his wife and his work, and he believes people struggle most when whatever filled the box, a job, a role, a relationship, disappears and nothing takes its place.3. Tom's core financial message is that not owning assets quietly erodes your purchasing power through inflation, whether you notice it or not. He believes the escape route is available to almost anyone, but most people never take the step of investing consistently over decades instead of waiting for certainty.Know Thyself, but not by yourself.

Are the claims of the Qurʾan scientific, or beyond the reach of science? And if aliens exist, are humans still the best of creation? In this episode of Thinking Islam, we discuss the relationship between Islam and science with Dr Shoaib Ahmed Malik. We begin with how Muslims have met modern science, from the Islamisation of knowledge to the scientific miracles of the Qurʾān (iʿjāz ʿilmī). Dr Malik is critical of the latter: the Qurʾān is not a scientific book, and a faith built on science is exposed when the science changes. What matters more are the assumptions beneath science, such as causality and divine action, and here the classical traditions offer templates rather than answers. From there we test the line between science and pseudoscience, putting the same question to prophetic medicine, Islamic psychology and intelligent design: where is the evidence? We weigh the contingency argument against the kalām cosmological argument and the stress test of the multiverse, along with al-Rāzī's admission that it is the design arguments that move the heart. We then step into the realm of the unseen (al-ghayb), looking at al-Rāzī's five models of the jinn, possession and mental health, and why the jinn lead Dr Malik to evolution and Adamic exceptionalism. The conversation ends with aliens, human superiority, his "deflationary theology", the limits of theology, and a call to think with our tradition rather than merely defend it. Dr Shoaib Ahmed Malik is Lecturer in Science and Religion at the School of Divinity, University of Edinburgh. A chemical engineer turned theologian, he holds two PhDs, in Chemical Engineering (University of Nottingham) and Theology (St Mary's University, Twickenham). He is the author of Islam and Evolution: Al-Ghazālī and the Modern Evolutionary Paradigm, recognised by the International Society for Science and Religion in 2022, and chief editor of Palgrave's Islam and Science book series and encyclopedia.Audio Chapters: 0:00 – Highlights 2:00 – Why Islam & Science? 15:14 – Scientific Miracles of the Qur'an 25:36 – Islam & Pseudoscience 32:20 – Proof of God's Existence 44:29 – Existence of Jinns 1:02:22 – Islam & Aliens 1:13:01 – Limits of Theology 1:19:00 – Thinking Islam Question

Friends of the Rosary,As we discover in the Book of Job today (1:6-22), a wealthy, righteous man named Job lost almost everything (his children, wealth, and health) due to a test allowed by God and instigated by "the adversary". Yet Job didn't turn against the Divinity. He had trust in the Lord with a child's humility.“The Lord gave, and the Lord has taken away; blessed be the name of the Lord!," he concluded.In all this Job did not sin, nor did he say anything ­disrespectful of God.And connected to this passage of the Book of Job—– which is an ancient piece of wisdom literature in the Hebrew Bible and Christian Old Testament that explores why innocent people suffer—, in the Gospel today (Luke 9:46-50), Jesus teaches that true greatness is found in humility and service, not status, and that we should not be jealous when others do good in His name.Faithfulness means trusting God even when life becomes painful or confusing.Ave Maria!Come, Holy Spirit, come!To Jesus through Mary!Here I am, Lord; I come to do your will.Please give us the grace to respond with joy!+ Mikel Amigot w/ María Blanca | RosaryNetwork.com, New YorkEnhance your faith with the new Holy Rosary University app:Apple iOS | New!

What if the reason you feel so drained isn't because you're doing too much, but because you've been away from the place that gives you strength? Jesus had pressure coming from every direction, but He still made time to get alone with the Father. Watch as we talk about why the secret place matters, and what can happen when you make room for it again.▶SUBSCRIBE: https://www.youtube.com/c/SouthernHillsLV▶Do you know Jesus as your Savior? https://www.southernhillslv.com/the-gospel▶ DONATE: https://pushpay.com/g/southernhills?src=hpp&r=monthly▶ Visit Southern Hills: https://www.southernhillslv.com/▶ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/southernhillslv▶ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/southernhillslv/Pastor Josh Teis is the founder and senior pastor of Southern Hills Church in Las Vegas.

William Tyndale looms so large over the early English Reformation that it's easy to mistake him for a typical figure of the movement. In fact, he was one of its most distinctive and uncompromising voices.In this episode, Dr Tony Watkins, our Fellow for Public Engagement, speaks with Alec Ryrie, Professor of the History of Christianity at Durham University. They explore the world that shaped Tyndale, the risks he ran to put the New Testament into English, and why his refusal to bow to Henry VIII's ambitions left him more exposed than any of his fellow reformers.Alec Ryrie discusses:why the Reformation shows so clearly that theology matters, and why its debates are still alive todaythe long medieval tradition of reform that Erasmus and his followers inheritedhow growing up on the Anglo-Welsh borderlands, and near Gloucestershire's Lollards, might have shaped Tyndale's passion for translationTyndale's request to Bishop Cuthbert Tunstall for permission to translate: mischievous or naive?how Tyndale stood "a step and a half ahead" of Cambridge reformers such as Robert Barnes, Thomas Bilney and Hugh Latimerthe interrupted printing in Cologne in 1525, the first complete New Testament from Worms in 1526, and why Antwerp became Tyndale's basethe growing danger Tyndale faced from Thomas More, Bishop Stokesley and the Low Countries authoritieswhy Tyndale, unlike Cranmer and Barnes, refused to go along with the king's marital adventures, and how that sealed his fateTyndale's threefold legacy: theological, political and above all as a translator whose vivid, immediate English still echoes in modern BiblesAbout our guest:Alec Ryrie is Professor of the History of Christianity at Durham University and a Fellow of the British Academy.

Guard What Was Given: Protecting the Eucharist   The Eucharist is not merely a ritual. It is the Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity of Jesus Christ — the source and summit of the Christian life. And yet, in an age of widespread indifference, sacrilege, and a shocking loss of belief in the Real Presence, the question must be asked: Who is standing guard? In this episode, we go deep into what it truly means to protect the Eucharist — not just as a devotional act, but as a spiritual battle. From the words of Jesus Himself in John 6 — "my flesh is true food, and my blood is true drink" — to the stark warning of St. Paul that receiving unworthily means being "guilty of the body and blood of the Lord" (1 Cor 11:27), Scripture does not treat the Eucharist casually. Neither should we.

Ryan and Alex dive into The Definitions of Asclepius Unto King Ammon: The Perfect Sermon of Asclepius Unto the King, a text from the Hermetic tradition exploring the nature of creation, divinity and humanity's place within the cosmos. They unpack the sacred power of Egyptian words, the infinite spiral pattern of creation, the host of immortal gods and elemental beings, and the Sun as a microcosm reflecting a greater cosmic order and more.

S. Wright welcomes back Rev. Stu Woods from Australia for a powerful teaching from John 1:1–14.Rev. Woods walks through one of Scripture's clearest declarations concerning the identity of Jesus Christ: “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.”Throughout this message, Rev. Woods explains that Jesus is not merely a prophet, moral teacher, religious figure, or created being. Jesus is the eternal Word of God, the Creator of all things, the source of life, and the Light that darkness cannot overcome.In this episode, you will discover:• Why Jesus is called “the Word” in John 1• Why Jesus existed before creation and is Himself uncreated• How Jesus participated in the creation of all things• Why Jesus is the source of life and the Light of mankind• How the Light of Christ overcomes spiritual darkness• The prophetic ministry of John the Baptist• Why many failed to recognize Jesus when He came into the world• What it means to receive Jesus and become a child of God• Why salvation cannot be inherited through family or religion• The importance of receiving Jesus Christ as both Lord and Savior• A clear invitation to repentance, forgiveness, salvation, and eternal lifeRev. Woods also challenges listeners to examine one of the most important questions anyone can answer:Who do you say Jesus is?If you have never surrendered your life to Jesus Christ, this episode includes a prayer inviting you to turn from sin, receive His forgiveness, and follow Him as Lord and Savior.And if you already belong to Christ, you are challenged to share the truth of Jesus with others so that more people may hear the Gospel, believe, and be saved.Scripture Focus: John 1:1–14Go forth in total surrender to the One who owns and reigns over all creation—and let the Great Harvest begin.Keywords / TagsJesus Christ, Who Is Jesus, John 1, John 1:1-14, Jesus Is God, Word of God, The Word Became Flesh, Divinity of Jesus, Deity of Christ, Jesus Creator, Creator God, Light of the World, Eternal Life, Salvation Through Jesus, Gospel of Jesus Christ, Born Again, Christian Salvation, Son of God, Christian Podcast, Bible Teaching, Biblical Christianity, Christian Apologetics, Christian Discipleship, Gospel Message, Sinners Prayer, Rev Stu Woods, Stu Woods, TS Wright, Kingdom Cross Roads Podcast, Great Harvest, Great Harvest Network, Christian Evangelism, Jesus Lord and SaviorCall to ActionIf this message helped you understand more clearly who Jesus is, share this episode with someone who needs to hear the Gospel.

We often think of Jesus as a Shepherd, but Scripture also shows Him as a Warrior.In 2 Peter 2, Peter warns about false teachers, evil, and judgment—but also reminds us that God knows how to rescue His people.What do you do when evil seems unchecked, false voices sound convincing, and life feels like a battle? Watch to see why Peter says God has not lost control—and why that changes how we face the fight.▶SUBSCRIBE: https://www.youtube.com/c/SouthernHillsLV▶Do you know Jesus as your Savior? https://www.southernhillslv.com/the-gospel▶ DONATE: https://pushpay.com/g/southernhills?src=hpp&r=monthly▶ Visit Southern Hills: https://www.southernhillslv.com/▶ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/southernhillslv▶ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/southernhillslv/Pastor Josh Teis is the founder and senior pastor of Southern Hills Church in Las Vegas.

Cosmic LOVE with Dr Christopher Rudy Sept 10, 2026 / New Moon Why Trump Will Cancel the Midterms National Emergency Storm Brewing Sept 13, 2026 Summing Up the Crisis and Opportunity 12 'Storm Factors' / Enlightenment Op Why Trump Will Cancel the Midterms, Cosmic Weather Yods, and Fifty Years of Corporatocracy Fresh off a breathwork seminar, Dr. Christopher Rudy previews his newsletters on why Trump may cancel the midterms and a twelve-factor national emergency storm, reads a dense cosmic weather report, and traces fifty years of warnings about corporatocracy, the medical and military-industrial complexes, and AI, closing with a picture of civilization as a caterpillar dissolving toward Aquarian butterfly consciousness. A Breathwork High and Two New Newsletters Christopher Rudy opens the September 19th broadcast still wired from a breathworks seminar he has just left, joking that the extra oxygen has him primed for an exciting show. He greets listeners across roughly sixty-three nations and welcomes newcomers to his update on fast-changing world news. Before diving into material, he plays the third version of a song called Cosmic Love, created with BBS Radio co-producer Donald Newsome, one of four versions archived on the Cosmic Love homepage. Coming out of the music, Rudy previews two recent newsletters: "Why Trump Will Cancel the Midterms," published September 10th on the new moon, and "Summing Up the Crisis and the Opportunity," built around what he calls twelve storm factors. He describes each newsletter as a Cosmic Love sandwich, sourdough truth slathered with light and love on the ends and strong, straight-talking meat in the middle, seasoned with satire and cosmic humor. Reading the Cosmic Weather Yods Rudy turns to what he calls his cosmic weather report, describing the sun in the closing degrees of Virgo moving into Libra on the coming equinox. He reads a tight yod, or finger of God, pointing to Venus in Scorpio, with Neptune in Aries sextile Uranus in Gemini forming its focal points, a pattern he associates with intense God-vision and lightning revelation. A second yod links the moon in Capricorn and Venus in Scorpio, both pointing toward Uranus in Gemini, while a grand trine connects Pluto in Aquarius, Uranus in Gemini, and the sun in Virgo, completed by a kite pattern with Neptune in Aries opposite the sun. Rudy calls this ancient Hermetic wisdom, quoting the idea that in the beginning God geometrizes, and describes three geometrized principles running through the cosmos: dynamic energy fields tied to squares and oppositions, magnetic fields tied to conjunctions, and radiant fields tied to trines and sextiles. The Geometry of Divinity and Brain Hemispheres Rudy builds a geometric picture of divinity from the law of the one, the circle and coherence factor, through the two-in-one Celtic cross, the three-in-one synergy of balanced hemispheres, and toward a four-in-one capstone vision. He recalls interviewing an author of two books, one of which he names only as The Field, whose name he cannot recall on air, about how Eastern civilization tends toward right-brain, socially cooperative thinking while Western civilization tends toward left-brain, compartmentalized individuality. He extends the comparison into geopolitics, contrasting the Belt and Road Initiative and the BRICS nations' win-win cooperation with what he describes as a Western win-lose approach built on sanctions. Rudy frames the moment as a choice between hemispheres working together, in synergy, or pulling apart into the polarization and conflict he says the world is currently experiencing. A 1974 Warning to Capitol Hill Rudy shifts to personal history, recalling a talk he gave in the summer of 1974 at Buckminster Fuller's World Game studies workshop, part of a three-day future summit called a SYNCON organized by Barbara Marx Hubbard. He says he later presented ten papers to ten agencies of the federal government on Capitol Hill, proposing how new satellite and interactive cable technology could upgrade Americans' freedoms of speech, assembly, and petitioning government ahead of the 1976 bicentennial. He recalls that none of the officials would look him in the eye, and that a junior college vice president told him afterward that the plan would eliminate bureaucracy, which is why it would go nowhere; Rudy says his phone was tapped for two weeks afterward. He connects that experience to what he calls corporatocracy, the merger of corporate and government interests he says the era's People's Bicentennial Commission was already warning about, and says nothing has fundamentally changed in fifty years. Complexes, Spectral Autism, and Ascended Masters Rudy argues that the military-industrial complex has expanded its surveillance technology to monitor and manage the American public, pointing to the war in Gaza as a proving ground for tools he says are now turned on citizens at home. He draws a parallel to what he calls the medical-industrial complex, asserting that vaccines create diseases that are then treated with further drugs for profit, and coins the phrase spectral autism to describe what he says is a loss of full-spectrum awareness in both vaccinated children and adults. He names stuck in negativity, or SIN, as the condition of people drawn to darker information sources, and offers pure intention as the way out. For forty years, he says, his own source of that pure intention has been the Ascended Master teachings, first through Church Universal and Triumphant and now through The Hearts Center, led by David Christopher Lewis, whose website he says holds more than five thousand HeartStreams, or messages, from the Ascended Masters. AI, Palantir, and a Butterfly Closing Rudy turns to artificial intelligence, saying its dark side is visible in Palantir Corporation and founder Peter Thiel, whom he accuses of using AI targeting against civilians in Gaza and, he claims, against nearly two hundred schoolchildren in Iran, a claim he presents as part of what Thiel himself reportedly calls dark enlightenment lectures on the Antichrist. Against that, Rudy sets what he calls a TLC reset: global telecommunication, telecare, tele-community and telecommerce built on self-correcting database standards for preventing and managing disease. He closes by describing Earth's current moment as a caterpillar dissolving inside a cocoon, its old order breaking down while a butterfly consciousness has not yet fully formed, and points listeners toward his free newsletter at christopherrudy.substack.com for the full detail behind the show. He signs off urging listeners to keep faith, see the good, dance like no one is watching, love like they have never been hurt, and be the change they want to see.

In today's episode of The BCC Podcast, Kevin Carson, Executive Director of the Biblical Counseling Coalition, is joined by Kyle Gangel, lead pastor of Southern Hills Bible Church in Custer, South Dakota. Kyle serves as both a pastor and biblical counselor and joins Kevin to consider five characteristics of a local church where biblical counseling can naturally grow and flourish. In this conversation, Kevin and Kyle discuss what it looks like to cultivate a church culture that is Christ-centered, pastorally led, committed to one-another ministry, committed to meaningful church membership, and dependent upon Christ for genuine spiritual change. Rather than focusing on developing a formal counseling program or center, they consider how biblical counseling grows out of the ordinary life and ministry of a healthy local church, where pastors model and equip God's people to faithfully minister His Word to one another. Kevin and Kyle also address what pastors and church members can do when their church does not yet reflect these characteristics. Pastors can begin by examining their own ministry, faithfully preaching God's Word, modeling one-another ministry, and equipping God's people for the work of ministry. Church members can begin right where God has placed them—loving, encouraging, serving, and faithfully ministering the Word to those around them. Whether you are a pastor, biblical counselor, or church member, this conversation will encourage you to consider your own role in cultivating a church where biblical counseling thrives—not simply as a ministry that is added to the church, but as a natural expression of a body of believers centered on Christ, committed to one another, and trusting Him to bring lasting change through His Word and His people.   FROM OUR SPONSOR:  To learn more about an undergraduate degree in biblical counseling, go to BoyceCollege.com/1514.

Brian opens with a rich theological reflection on living coram Deo — before the face of God — arguing that God's presence isn't confined to two hours of Sunday worship but fills the other 166 hours of ordinary work and life. He calls out the cruelty he witnessed in Christian social media responses to a seminary student's video about pursuing a Master of Divinity, arguing online meanness reveals true character rather than excusing it. Brian reacts to reports the Trump administration is considering federal subsidies for stay-at-home parents, questioning the shift toward government handouts regardless of party. He shares a Christianity Today piece distinguishing "niceness" from biblical kindness, arguing Christians are called to speak hard truths without reveling in others' humiliation. Brian discusses a striking shift in global missions — the West now receiving as many missionaries as it sends — and plays a clip of JD Greer wrestling with the ethics of sports gambling ahead of football season. He closes with Greer's essay explaining why he rejects Christian nationalism, and a reflection on C.S. Lewis's Till We Have Faces and its answer to the problem of evil and divine silence.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A Catholic priest began weeping during the consecration and says the chalice became too heavy for him to lift. What happened to Father Brent Bowman during Mass — and was this a Eucharistic miracle?Father Brent Bowman, a priest of the Archdiocese of Saint Paul and Minneapolis and chaplain at Chesterton Academy, experienced an extraordinary moment while celebrating Mass on September 14, 2026, the Feast of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross.During the consecration of the Precious Blood, Father Bowman says he was given an interior awareness of the power of the words being spoken and of the Real Presence of Jesus Christ in the Eucharist. He described experiencing the weight of the chalice so intensely that he could no longer lift it.Father Bowman has since released an official statement explaining exactly what happened — and he is very clear that he does not consider this a Eucharistic miracle in the traditional sense.In this video, we look at: The viral footage from the Mass  Father Brent Bowman's homily before the experience  His complete explanation of what happened during the consecration  Why he says the chalice became too heavy to lift  The Catholic Church's teaching on the Real Presence  Transubstantiation and the Eucharist  Private revelation and mystical experiences  The difference between a private spiritual experience and a Eucharistic miracle  Why Catholics believe Jesus Christ is truly present — Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity — in the Eucharist  Why reverence at Mass still matters Father Bowman said his hope is that this experience leads people to contemplate more deeply “the Real Presence of Jesus Christ in the Eucharist and the Precious Blood.” His official statement also stresses that private spiritual experiences are unmerited gifts and are not necessarily signs of personal holiness. OSV News reports that the video has circulated widely online and that Father Bowman described becoming overwhelmed during the Eucharistic Prayer, weeping for more than a minute and being unable for a time to elevate the chalice. The deeper question may not simply be, “What happened to this priest?”It may be:Have we forgotten what happens at every Mass?Jesus Christ is truly present in the Holy Eucharist.If this video helps you see the Mass or the Eucharist differently, share it with someone who needs to hear it.Subscribe to The Catholic Couple for Catholic faith, Scripture, the Eucharist, marriage, discipleship, apologetics and conversations about living the Catholic faith in the real world.#Eucharist #Catholic #EucharisticMiraclehttps://linktr.ee/bobbyfred85Purposelycatholic.com

I believe grace is one of the most Christlike ways that we can be loving. When we better understand Christ's Grace for us, when we can accept that Grace into our own lives, and when we can then extend this Grace to others, everything seems to change. We feel more peace and compassion, we develop a stronger sense of self, and we feel more deeply connected to Divinity, ourselves, and others. We can never go wrong with Grace.

Last weekend, I had the great privilege of presiding over a wedding at St. Joseph's, my old parish. The groom had once been one of my altar servers: a shy, quiet, somewhat awkward eleven-year-old boy. Now, more than a decade later, he stood before me as a young man in his mid-twenties, a competitive bodybuilder, and a bridegroom. And he had asked me to be the priest who would witness his wedding. How could I possibly say no?I said yes gladly. For this is one of the great and hidden joys of being a priest: to watch a human soul grow. We meet people at one chapter of their lives and, if God is kind enough to let us remain, we sometimes get to see the next. We baptize children who later kneel at the altar. We teach young men and women who eventually stand before us as husbands and wives. We plant seeds whose flowering we may never see.And sometimes, God allows us to see the flower. But there was another familiar face at the wedding. The groom's older brother was there—a man I had not seen since I left St. Joseph's in 2016. Both brothers had once served Mass with me on Sundays. They had stood beside me at the altar, close to the Holy of Holies, in the presence of that great Mystery where Jesus Christ gives Himself to us in the Eucharist—Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity. But somewhere along the way, his older brother began to drift. It did not happen all at once. Perhaps it rarely does.He had questions. The same questions that have troubled generations of young people: Does God really exist? Why do I have to go to Mass on Sunday? Why does any of this matter? What if the Church is wrong?Questions are not the enemy of faith. But questions can become doors, and every door may open either toward God or away from Him. Eventually, the questions became too heavy. The boy who had once served Christ at His altar walked away. He left the practice of the Catholic faith and followed the current of the world, where so many bright things glitter upon the surface of the water. And yet the human heart is a strange thing. It can possess much and still hunger.It can taste pleasure and still thirst. It can win applause, accumulate success, pursue power, seek romance, entertain itself endlessly and still, when the noise finally ceases, hear the same ancient question whispering from somewhere deep within: Is this all?The wedding was the first time my old altar server had stepped inside a church in years. I was, of course, delighted to see him.During the homily, I made fun of his long hippie hair. Afterwards, he returned the favor by making fun of my male-pattern baldness. But then he said something that I have not been able to forget. Referring to the homily, he said: “Now that's how you get people back into church!” I do not know precisely what struck him. I do not know which word, which idea, or which buried memory stirred within him.Perhaps it was something I said about marriage: that it is not merely a human arrangement but part of a divine design. That God created us male and female for a reason, and that the mystery of our bodies points beyond itself toward something greater. That we were made for a love which is not merely emotional or pleasurable, but total, faithful, fruitful, and sacrificial. And that the deepest form of love does not culminate in the possession of another, but in the gift of oneself. Which is precisely where marriage finally points us—to Jesus Christ. For the Cross is the place where Love reveals its true face.There, the One who could have demanded everything instead gives everything. There, the Bridegroom gives Himself for His Bride. There, we discover that the strange hunger within the human heart is not an accident or an evolutionary inconvenience. It is a clue. Perhaps something in my old altar server's heart was pierced that day. What was it? I can only speculate.But I am certain of this: the human heart was made for more than this world can give. There is a thirst in us that no earthly cup can finally satisfy. We spend our lives reaching for things which promise happiness. We pursue success, admiration, wealth, pleasure, romance, influence, beauty, experiences, and every glittering thing the world places before our eyes. And for a little while, they satisfy us. Then the satisfaction fades. So we reach again. And again. And again. Why? Because finite things cannot fill an infinite longing. There is a hollow place within us that creation itself cannot occupy. There is an ache for meaning, a homesickness for something we cannot quite name. But perhaps the ache is not the disease. Perhaps it is the invitation.And this is the astonishing truth of the Gospel: we are not the only ones who thirst. God thirsts for us first. The One whom we have spent our lives seeking has been seeking us all along.The Father waits for His children. Christ calls to the wandering heart. And the Holy Spirit continues to stir within us that ancient desire for something greater than the passing treasures of this world. So, my friends, I want to invite you on October 1st to the Well. Come with your questions. Come with your doubts. Come if you have been away for years. Come if you no longer know what you believe. Come if you have tried everything the world has offered and have discovered, perhaps quietly and painfully, that you are still thirsty. For the answer to our deepest questions is not ultimately a proposition, an argument, or an idea. It is a Person. The God who thirsts for us first. COME TO THE WELL. --- Help Spread the Good News --- Father Brian's homilies are shared freely thanks to generous listeners like you.

In this compelling episode, we sit down with Rev. Michael J.S. Carter — ordained interfaith minister, Master of Divinity graduate from Union Theological Seminary, author, and longtime UFO experiencer. A frequent consultant and guest on History Channel's Ancient Aliens, Carter has also appeared on Coast to Coast AM, George Noory's Beyond Belief (Gaia), Steven Spielberg's Abduction Diaries (Sci-Fi Channel), The Real 4400, and other major programs. His groundbreaking book Alien Scriptures: Extraterrestrials in the Holy Bible (praised by Whitley Strieber as “the best book ever written on the subject”) topped Amazon's UFO charts and explores ancient religious texts through the lens of non-human intelligence. He has authored additional works including A New World If You Can Take It, Initiation: The Spiritual Transformation of the Experiencer, and others that bridge spirituality, consciousness, and contact.Carter opens up about his extraordinary journey into high strangeness, beginning with his first dramatic visitation by a Gray alien in his New York City apartment on December 28, 1989. What followed was a cascade of encounters with a diverse range of entities — classic Grays, reptilian beings, Nordic types, and even a praying mantis-like intelligence. These experiences led him to undergo hypnotic regression, unlocking deeper memories of abductions and interactions that stretch back to childhood.Prepare for a profound, eye-opening conversation that challenges the boundaries between faith, science, and the unknown as Rev. Carter shares how these contact experiences transformed his understanding of reality, spirituality, and humanity's place in a populated cosmos.http://michaeljscarter.comWelcome to Let's Get Freaky Podcast!

In today's episode of The BCC Podcast, Kevin Carson, Executive Director of the Biblical Counseling Coalition, is joined by pastor and biblical counselor Josh Matthews for a candid conversation about stubborn sins—patterns believers may confess and fight, yet still find themselves struggling with again. Josh shares personally from his own ongoing battle with food, comfort, and self-control. Kevin and Josh begin in Romans 6, exploring the believer's union with Christ and the hope it provides in the fight against sin. Lasting change is not ultimately found in greater willpower, stricter rules, or better systems, but in knowing and believing what God says is true of us in Christ: we have died with Him, been raised with Him, and sin no longer has the right to rule over us. They also discuss genuine repentance, the call to “put on the Lord Jesus Christ” while making no provision for the flesh, and the limitations of external rules and self-discipline. While practical strategies can be helpful, they cannot substitute for the heart change that comes through Christ. Ultimately, the goal is not simply to stop a sinful behavior, but to grow in our love for Christ so that our affection for Him increasingly surpasses the comfort, pleasure, or satisfaction sin promises. As believers grow in knowing and treasuring Christ, they learn not only to say no to sin, but to pursue Someone far better.   FROM OUR SPONSOR:  To learn more about an undergraduate degree in biblical counseling, go to BoyceCollege.com/1514.

Charmian Redwood Friday, September 11th, 2026 - 3 PM ET Topic: Lemuria: Ancient Souls, Lost Knowledge & Humanity's Awakening Bio: Charmian Redwood If you could talk to your Soul; what would you ask? Who am I? Why am I here? Charmian Redwood can take you there. She is a bridge between the worlds. Charmian had a Near Death Experience 30 years ago during which she returned to the Golden Light of the Source. There she was awakened to the consciousness of Herself as a God Presence. Her life purpose since that event has been to assist others to experience themselves as Divine Essence in the Golden Light of Home before they leave the body at the end of their lives. Charmian has written two books, both taken from hypnosis sessions, one, Coming Home To Lemuria, was written after taking many people back to the lost continent of Lemuria to remember how we lived in Oneness and Love. The second book, 2012 A New Earth Rising, was written after taking people forward through the dimensional shift of 2012 into the Healed Earth where we are living once more from our God Essence as we did in Lemuria. 2012 A New Earth Rising tells people how to prepare themselves and their loved ones to move smoothly into the New World of Peace. We have the power as Divine Humans to co- create this shift on the Earth with gentleness and ease. Mother Earth is birthing herself into her new form and we, as humans, are birthing ourselves into our Divinity. We can consciously choose to work with Her to move smoothly into the New Era of Peace on the Earth. Charmian offers workshops and individual sessions guiding people to connect with their own Divine Essence and the Self who has already made the transformation into the Higher Self.

ASHERAH is a new journal of Jewish liturgy — past, present, and future. Its name comes from an ancient goddess, related to a tree of the same name, and its first issue kicks off with a provocative quotation from Abraham Joshua Heschel: "Prayer is meaningless unless it is subversive." Shaul Magid, Asherah's founder, and Lila Rimalovski, one of its co-editors, join Lex Rofeberg and Miriam Terlinchamp for a conversation about weaving tradition and subversion seamlessly together, in artistic and linguistic forms.Looking for an intro to Judaism course?

Today’s guest is Jamey Blakeley, a businessman, outdoorsman, volunteer firefighter, and someone who has a powerful story of faith, perseverance, and God’s faithfulness. Jamey lives in Jane, Missouri, and got his start in business back in 2018 when he opened a small outdoor store. After about 14 months, he closed the store and took a different direction, eventually building the businesses he operates today—Blakeley’s Trapping, The Trappers Pole, and Blakeley’s Baits & Lures. But Jamey’s story goes far beyond business and the outdoors. He’s also a volunteer firefighter and the founder of 4 State Chaplains, a nonprofit ministry providing chaplain support to first responders. Jamey has pursued training through Christian Leaders Institute, where he’s working toward his Diploma in Divinity and has also completed chaplain courses that he puts into practice through his ministry. Jamey gave his life to Christ when he was about eight years old, but he’ll be the first to tell you that it wasn’t until early 2025 that he really began living his life fully for God. Earlier this year, his church recognized that growth and commitment by voting him in as a deacon. And the road to get here certainly hasn't been easy. At just 32 years old, Jamey has faced some serious challenges. In 2021, he experienced a severe medical event that nearly resulted in a heart attack and ultimately led to him receiving a defibrillator. Then, in 2023, he battled an infection that took nearly two years to overcome. Four surgeries and eight months with a wound pump left him unable to do much of anything for more than 16 months. But what could have broken him became part of the testimony God is using today. Jamey’s story is one of perseverance, redemption, faith, and learning that sometimes God uses the hardest seasons of our lives to prepare us for the work He has called us to do. I’m really looking forward to this conversation and hearing how God has taken Jamey’s experiences—from the outdoors and business to firefighting, ministry, and some incredibly difficult seasons—and used them to give him a passion for serving others.

Gulliver's Travels is one of the landmarks of world literature. Gulliver's adventures with the tiny but spirited Lilliputians, the giant inhabitants of Brobdingnag, the flying island of Laputa, and the rational horses of Houyhnmhnmland have become globally famous for their satirical wit and visionary creativity. Early editions credited Gulliver himself as the author, and many readers believed him to be a real person. Later commentators have variously described the work as proto-science fiction, as inspired children's literature and as a forerunner of the modern novel. The editor's introduction to this celebratory anniversary edition contextualises Gulliver's Travels in Swift's life and work as a whole while exploring its rich and remarkable afterlife. All the original illustrations and maps are included, as are the frontispiece portraits. Generous annotation explains textual details which might now seem obscure, and appendices contain additional documents and images to enhance contemporary understanding and enjoyment.

What does it look like to lead the way Jesus did — through the cross, not around it? Host Joy Fea welcomes Rev. Dr. Nicole Massie Martin, President and CEO of Christianity Today, to talk about her book Nailing It: Why Successful Leadership Demands Suffering and Surrender. Together, they explore what people really need from a leader, why perfectionism isn't the same as excellence, how power works for women with and without a title, and why loyalty can quietly become an idol. Nicole also shares what “cruciform leadership” looks like on an ordinary Tuesday, and what she'd tell her twentysomething self about ambition, insecurity, and calling.WHAT YOU WILL LEARNWhy transparency — not just confidence — is what makes a leader trustworthy, and how naming the “turbulence” ahead of time actually builds a team's confidence rather than undermining it.What Nicole's book title actually means: leadership “suffering” isn't suffering for its own sake — it's dying to ego, control, and ambition so that something greater can be resurrected through you.How to recognize when perfectionism, not excellence, is driving your leadership (and your parenting) — and why anything involving other people can never be perfect.The difference between operating with excellence and operating to prove your worth — and why God's approval, not your output, is the more stable foundation.A framework for understanding power beyond your job title: legitimate, expert, informational, referential, and reward power, and how to identify and use whatever power you actually have.How to tell the difference between healthy, Christ-centered loyalty and loyalty that has quietly become an idol — and why toxic leaders are usually surrounded by loyal followers who are afraid to speak up.What women uniquely bring to leadership when they're free to lead from who God made them to be, rather than compensating for who they're told they aren't.What “cruciform leadership” looks like in practice — a daily, repeated act of surrendering your schedule, your meetings, and your outcomes to God rather than white-knuckling your way through them.How Nicole leads a 70-year-old media ministry without becoming captive to its legacy — maintaining Christianity Today's founding mission while letting its expression evolve.Nicole's advice to young leaders on discerning calling: focus on your strengths rather than fixing your weaknesses, and hold your context loosely — your calling is bigger than any one role.ABOUT OUR GUEST Reverend Doctor Nicole Massie Martin was born and educated in Baltimore, Maryland.

Gulliver's Travels is one of the landmarks of world literature. Gulliver's adventures with the tiny but spirited Lilliputians, the giant inhabitants of Brobdingnag, the flying island of Laputa, and the rational horses of Houyhnmhnmland have become globally famous for their satirical wit and visionary creativity. Early editions credited Gulliver himself as the author, and many readers believed him to be a real person. Later commentators have variously described the work as proto-science fiction, as inspired children's literature and as a forerunner of the modern novel. The editor's introduction to this celebratory anniversary edition contextualises Gulliver's Travels in Swift's life and work as a whole while exploring its rich and remarkable afterlife. All the original illustrations and maps are included, as are the frontispiece portraits. Generous annotation explains textual details which might now seem obscure, and appendices contain additional documents and images to enhance contemporary understanding and enjoyment.
