In this episode of What the Prophets Say, Emma Stark is joined by Louise Reid and Anna McRobert for a rich conversation about intimacy with God, learning to hear Him clearly, and living with the volume set correctly.Emma shares a hard-won practice for turbulent seasons: turn down the noise of circumstances and turn up the certainty of His voice. Louise opens a simple but profound question she's been asking the Lord: “Who are You to me today?” and how that re-centres everything. Anna tells her story of moving from a more traditional faith framework into spiritual sight and confident hearing, including the moment she first heard God's voice as a teenager.This episode is full of practical prompts you can use immediately:“Who are You to me today?”“Where is Your hand today?”“I give You everything, and I give You everyone.”If you want to go deeper, download the Power TV app for exclusive podcast power resources and activation.

In this episode, David from Blackpool, UK shares a series of unusual experiences that began with a close-range UFO sighting in Peterborough in the late 1990s. One evening, he watched a massive, silent craft hover low over houses, clearly structured and sharply defined, before accelerating away at impossible speed without sound or disturbance. The encounter left him shaken, not by fear, but by confusion and disbelief at what he had witnessed.More information on this episode on the podcast website:https://ufochroniclespodcast.com/2026If you enjoy this podcast, please support the show with a virtual coffee:https://ko-fi.com/ufochroniclespodcastFollow and Subscribe on X to get ad-free episodesX: https://x.com/UFOchronpodcast/Want to share your encounter on the show?Email: UFOChronicles@gmail.comOr Fill out Guest Form:https://forms.gle/uGQ8PTVRkcjy4nxS7Podcast Merchandise:https://www.teepublic.com/user/ufo-chronicles-podcastHelp Support UFO CHRONICLES by becoming a Patron:https://patreon.com/UFOChroniclespodcastAll Links for Podcast:https://linktr.ee/UFOChroniclesPodcastThank you for listening!Like share and subscribe it really helps me when people share the show on social media, it means we can reach more people and more witnesses and without your amazing support, it wouldn't be possible.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/ufo-chronicles-podcast--3395068/support.

Raised as a lifelong outdoorsman, hunter, and self-described skeptic, James walks us through the slow but undeniable shift from disbelief to certainty after repeated experiences in the wilderness.From unexplained growls and an overwhelming sense of dread, to chilling close-range encounters and physical evidence that defied conventional explanation, James recounts moments that left a permanent mark on his worldview. He also reflects on the importance of approaching these phenomena with respect rather than fear, emphasizing the role of intention, awareness, and humility in Bigfoot research.Sasquatch Recon YouTube Get Our FREE NewsletterGet Brian's Books Leave Us A VoicemailVisit Our WebsiteBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/sasquatch-odyssey--4839697/support.

I’m about to fly back to the States, after just a week of re-adjusting to the time here in Malaysia. When this podcast drops early on the 24th, I'll be in China or Macau on my way to catch a flight from HKG to LAX. This week we discuss China’s current tourist climate, as well as the transit-without-visa (TWOV) scheme, followed by a short look at whether China’s role is as a David (Underdog) or Goliath. Then, after working through a pro-China propaganda piece about one of my favorite cities, Macau, we look at all of the cities to pray for this coming week, including the one where my China career nearly ended as soon as it had begun. I'm your China travel guide in exile, Missionary Ben. Follow me on X (@chinaadventures) where I share a new Chinese city or county to pray for every single day.

China is already the economic Goliath it does not want to be seen as Andrew Sharp, Nikkei Asia opinion editor China’s year-end numbers underscored the brute force of its export machine: a trade surplus tipped at about $116 billion…according to JPMorgan economist Tingting Ge. But there was no victory lap. Exports have defied the gloom for 2025, but the domestic economy is still sputtering. Henny Sender writes that China "does not see itself as a giant imposing its mighty production machine on its neighbors and partners. Instead, it sees itself as frail and vulnerable; a country with neither the resources for food security nor energy security; a David rather than a Goliath."

In late 2021, an ordinary man from the north of England reported two encounters that would alter the course of his life. The first took place in the early hours of the morning and left him questioning the nature of consciousness itself. The second occurred months later. Between those two events lay a period of illness so severe that doctors could not explain how he survived it at all. Whether these experiences were connected remains uncertain. But taken together, they form a deeply unsettling account of contact, consequence, and the possibility that some encounters are never meant to be remembered.

What happens when a deep red moth appears out of nowhere… follows you for three days… and lays her eggs on your hand? In this unforgettable encore episode of Weird Real-Life Stories, Gina Gayle Gray shares one of the most intimate and mysterious spiritual experiences of her life — and Dr. Pat joins her to decode the deeper messages hidden within. Together, they explore the symbolism of the moth as a messenger of transformation, guardianship, and rebirth — and draw surprising connections between Gina's lived experience and the legendary moth goddess Mothra from the Godzilla universe. Dr. Pat takes the conversation into deeper realms, exploring the myth of Mothra. Born in 1961 (just like Gina), Mothra is no ordinary monster — she is a symbol of life, protection, feminine power, and rebirth. Often seen as a guardian, a nurturer, and even a mother to Godzilla himself, Mothra's mythology mirrors Gina's real-life experience in uncanny ways. Could this moth have carried a message from beyond the veil? Was she a sign from Spencer? A Spirit midwife delivering new life — or a reminder of cycles still unfolding? What does it mean to be chosen by Spirit? Why do these encounters defy logic but feel undeniably real? Tune in to hear how weird becomes sacred and REAL, how Spirit keeps sending messages of synchronicity, soul talk, and sacred mystery… and remember: Spirit is always speaking — in ways you never expect, but are REAL. It's time to remember how to "Listen To The Silence" to receive Messages & Miracles Always and In All Ways ... in the words of Spencer!

Egyedül jöttél? - kérdezte Bence kicsit bizonytalanul.En: "Excuse me, what you said about the solar system sounds really exciting. Did you come alone?" Bence asked, a little uncertainly.Hu: Lilla felnézett, meglepetten, de barátságosan mosolygott.En: Lilla looked up, surprised, but smiled warmly.Hu: - Igen! Imádom a tudományt. Alig vártam ezt a kiállítást. – válaszolta.En: "Yes! I love science. I could hardly wait for this exhibition," she replied.Hu: Bence és Lilla együtt fedezték fel az emeleten a vadonatúj űrtechnológiai kiállítást.En: Bence and Lilla explored the brand-new space technology exhibition upstairs together.Hu: A beszélgetésük egyre mélyebb és személyesebb lett.En: Their conversation became deeper and more personal.Hu: Bence érezte, hogy Lilla valóban érti és értékeli őt.En: Bence felt that Lilla truly understood and appreciated him.Hu: Lilla pedig észrevette, hogy Bence figyelmes hallgató, aki tiszteli az ő szenvedélyét.En: Meanwhile, Lilla noticed that Bence was a thoughtful listener who respected her passion.Hu: Ahogy az utolsó termet is bejárták, észrevették, hogy eltelt az idő.En: As they went through the last room, they realized time had passed.Hu: Az egész napot együtt töltötték.En: They had spent the whole day together.Hu: - Talán meglehetne ismételni ezt. Mit gondolsz? – kérdezte Bence, kezdve érezni a remény melegét.En: "Maybe we could do this again. What do you think?" Bence asked, beginning to feel the warmth of hope.Hu: Lilla mosolygott.En: Lilla smiled.Hu: - Nagyon szívesen. Jó lenne együtt felfedezni még több dolgot.En: "I'd love to. It would be nice to discover more things together."Hu: Az ajtó felé sétáltak, és a hideg levegővel szembenézve Bence megváltozott emberként érezte magát, nyitottabbnak.En: They walked toward the door, and as they faced the cold air, Bence felt like a changed person, more open.Hu: Lilla tanult belőle, hogy figyelni, nem csak mesélni is fontos.En: Lilla learned from him that listening is as important as telling.Hu: A kapcsolatuk kezdetét lelkesen várták, és elindultak egy közös új kaland felé a tudomány világában.En: They eagerly awaited the beginning of their relationship and embarked on a new adventure together in the world of science.

Transcript:Nl: De winterzon scheen bleek over de drukke markt van Amsterdam.En: The winter sun shone pale over the busy market of Amsterdam.Nl: Het was een koude ochtend, maar de warmte kwam van de mensen die haastig van kraam naar kraam slenterden.En: It was a cold morning, but the warmth came from the people who hurriedly strolled from stall to stall.Nl: De lucht was gevuld met de geur van versgebakken brood, pittige kazen en de bittere prik van koffie.En: The air was filled with the scent of freshly baked bread, spicy cheeses, and the bitter touch of coffee.Nl: Tussen de geluiden van kwebbelende mensen en de zachte muziek in de achtergrond, stonden Bram en Anouk bij dezelfde bloemenkraam.En: Among the sounds of chattering people and soft music in the background, Bram and Anouk stood at the same flower stall.Nl: Bram, een grafisch ontwerper aan het begin van de dertig, had besloten zijn zaterdag anders te besteden.En: Bram, a graphic designer in his early thirties, had decided to spend his Saturday differently.Nl: Weg van de computer, op zoek naar echte interacties.En: Away from the computer, in search of real interactions.Nl: Anouk, een journalist met een passie voor duurzaam leven, struinde de markt af op zoek naar nieuwe ideeën voor haar artikel.En: Anouk, a journalist with a passion for sustainable living, was scouring the market in search of new ideas for her article.Nl: Hun handen strekten zich gelijktijdig uit naar de laatste bos tulpen.En: Their hands simultaneously reached out for the last bunch of tulips.Nl: "Oh, pardon!"En: "Oh, pardon!"Nl: zei Bram, terwijl hij zijn hand terugdeinsde.En: said Bram, as he withdrew his hand.Nl: Hij keek verlegen naar Anouk, die zijn blik opving en glimlachte.En: He looked shyly at Anouk, who caught his gaze and smiled.Nl: "Geen probleem," antwoordde Anouk vriendelijk.En: "No problem," Anouk replied kindly.Nl: Ze keek naar het smeltende sneeuwdek op de bladeren van de tulpen.En: She looked at the melting snow cover on the leaves of the tulips.Nl: "Tulpen zijn zo mooi, zelfs in de winter."En: "Tulips are so beautiful, even in winter."Nl: Bram knikte.En: Bram nodded.Nl: Hij wilde graag meer zeggen, maar woorden vond hij lastig.En: He wanted to say more, but found words difficult.Nl: Uiteindelijk, na enkele seconden van aarzeling, waagde hij een poging.En: Finally, after a few seconds of hesitation, he ventured a try.Nl: "Ik probeer mijn leven buiten het internet om te verrijken.En: "I'm trying to enrich my life outside of the internet.Nl: Ik werk veel met digitale beelden, maar niets kan de schoonheid van de natuur vervangen."En: I work a lot with digital images, but nothing can replace the beauty of nature."Nl: Anouk keek hem nieuwsgierig aan.En: Anouk looked at him curiously.Nl: "Ik schrijf over duurzaamheid en tuinieren in stedelijke omgevingen.En: "I write about sustainability and gardening in urban environments.Nl: Misschien hebben we wel meer gemeen dan we denken."En: Maybe we have more in common than we think."Nl: Bram voelde een warme gloed in zijn buik.En: Bram felt a warm glow in his stomach.Nl: Hier was iemand die zijn interesse begreep.En: Here was someone who understood his interest.Nl: "Ik werk samen met een gemeenschapstuin niet ver van hier," zei hij, zijn moed verzamelend.En: "I work with a community garden not far from here," he said, gathering his courage.Nl: "Als je wilt, kun je een keer langskomen.En: "If you'd like, you could come by sometime.Nl: Het is echt inspirerend."En: It's truly inspiring."Nl: Anouk dacht even na.En: Anouk thought for a moment.Nl: Ze had een eerste indruk gehad van Bram, een van scepticisme, maar nu zag ze dat hij oprecht was.En: She had a first impression of Bram, one of skepticism, but now she saw that he was sincere.Nl: Misschien konden ze elkaar helpen.En: Maybe they could help each other.Nl: "Ik zou het heel graag willen zien," antwoordde ze oplucht.En: "I would love to see it," she answered with relief.Nl: "Het kan me zeker helpen met mijn volgende artikel."En: "It can definitely help me with my next article."Nl: Samen liepen ze de markt uit, de tulpen tussen hen in.En: Together they walked out of the market, the tulips between them.Nl: De lucht was fris en hun adem wolkjes in de koude lucht vormde kleine plukjes rook.En: The air was fresh and their breath formed small puffs of smoke in the cold air.Nl: Bram voelde dat hij iets had overwonnen in zichzelf.En: Bram felt that he had overcome something in himself.Nl: Anouk besefte dat openheid soms de mooiste kansen bracht.En: Anouk realized that openness sometimes brought the most beautiful opportunities.Nl: Ze hielden pas halt bij de uitgang van de markt, lachend en pratend over plannen om de tuin te bezoeken.En: They came to a stop at the market's exit, laughing and talking about plans to visit the garden.Nl: De dag begon met een onverwachte ontmoeting en eindigde met het vooruitzicht van iets moois.En: The day began with an unexpected encounter and ended with the prospect of something beautiful.Nl: Hun handen, die de tulpen stevig vasthielden, markeerden het begin van een nieuwe vriendschap, klaar om te bloeien als de bloemen die ze bij zich droegen.En: Their hands, tightly holding the tulips, marked the beginning of a new friendship, ready to bloom like the flowers they carried with them.Nl: In het leven van de stad, tussen het geroezemoes en de geuren van de markt, vonden Bram en Anouk elkaar.En: In the life of the city, amidst the buzz and aromas of the market, Bram and Anouk found each other.Nl: Wat begon als een simpele koop van tulpen eindigde als een stap in een nieuwe richting, persoonlijk en gezamenlijk, om samen iets moois te laten groeien.En: What began as a simple purchase of tulips ended as a step in a new direction, personally and collectively, to grow something beautiful together.

Over the next few weeks, I'm gonna be sharing my new book with you—start to finish. The whole thing. It's called Bigfoot Country. All told, it's around eight hours of narration. So, I'll be putting it out in multiple episodes. And honestly... I've been sitting on this for a long time. I'm excited—and a little nervous—to finally put it out there. But before we jump in, I wanna take a minute. Just you and me.What you're about to hear is loosely based on my life. Some of it happened exactly the way I tell it. No embellishment, no polish. Other parts are rooted in real experiences—real people, real moments, real emotions—but maybe stretched a bit, or reimagined, to help the story breathe. And then there are parts where… well, you get to decide what you believe.I also wanna be upfront about something. Early on, you might find yourself wondering where this is all headed. There's a lot of groundwork—family, childhood, personal history. Just know this: it's going somewhere. This book is about Bigfoot. That's the destination. I promise. Just trust me long enough to get there. At its heart, this is a story about my earliest experiences with the strange and unexplained. It starts with something that happened to me when I was twelve years old—an encounter with what I believe was a Sasquatch. That moment stayed with me. It shaped a lot of who I became. And for years, I struggled with how—or even if—I should ever tell that story. Because how do you talk about something the world insists isn't real? How do you open yourself up like that, knowing people are gonna judge you, doubt you, or dismiss you entirely?But these stories have always mattered to me. This book has always mattered. And at some point, I realized I was done keeping it all tucked away. Here's the thing, though—I didn't just write about Bigfoot. I wrote about me. All of me. My childhood. My parents. My failures. My struggles. And yeah… Dani.I know that part isn't gonna sit well with everyone. I get that. Some folks are gonna have opinions, and that's their right. But for me, leaving any of that out would've been dishonest. I can't ask you to trust me with these experiences and then hide pieces of who I am. I can't tell my story without including the person who stood beside me through the hardest parts of it. That's just not how I live, and it's not how this book was written.Believe me, I thought about sanding down the rough edges. Making it cleaner. Safer. Easier to swallow. Cutting out the parts that might make people uncomfortable. But I couldn't do it. I've spent too much of my life holding back, and I'm done with that.So this is me. This is my story. All of it. Some of what you'll hear happened exactly as I describe it. Some of it is how I imagine things might have gone—if the timing had been different, if I'd pushed harder, if the world worked the way I think it sometimes should.And one last thing before we start—this is Book One. There's more coming. A lot more. This is just the beginning. I hope you enjoy Bigfoot Country... as much as I did writing it. Part One is called The Hollow, and it begins in September of 1984. I was eleven years old, just a few months shy of twelve, and my family had just moved to a place called Lyerly, Georgia. Population next to nothing. No stoplight. One gas station. The kind of town where everybody knew everybody's business before you even finished doing it. We moved into an old house at the end of a dirt road—a house that looked like something had crawled there to die. White paint gone gray. Porch sagging in the middle. Eighty acres of woods stretching out behind it like a wall. My father, Jerry Patterson, was a drinker. A man whose silence usually meant a storm was building. My mother, Jean, was small but fierce in the ways that mattered—even if she couldn't fix the things that were broken in our family. She stayed. She always stayed. The woods became my escape. I spent those early weeks mapping the land, building forts out of fallen branches and rotting tarps, disappearing into the trees whenever the tension at home got too thick. I learned every trail, every landmark, every corner of that property. All except one. There was a section way back at the far edge, where our land butted up against the national forest, that I couldn't bring myself to enter. Every time I got close, something pushed me back. A wrongness I couldn't name. A feeling like walking into a cold spot in a warm room.One day in late October, I decided I'd had enough of being scared. I was almost twelve years old. Too old for this. So I grabbed my BB gun and headed out to prove to myself there was nothing back there worth fearing. I was wrong. What I found was a clearing with a depression in the ground where something big had been bedding down. The smell hit me first—wet dog mixed with a dumpster behind a butcher shop. And then the sounds. Heavy footsteps. Bipedal. Something walking on two legs that weighed more than any man. Huffing. Growling. Sounds that rose and fell in patterns that almost seemed like language. It charged at me through the underbrush, stopped maybe twenty feet away, and just... breathed. Watched. Decided. It let me go.I ran home faster than I'd ever run in my life. And I never told a soul.But that wasn't the only strangeness that followed us to that house. At night, I started hearing voices in the walls—whispery, indistinct, speaking in languages I couldn't understand. A dark figure began appearing at the foot of my bed, a void shaped like a man, watching me while I lay frozen and unable to scream. Scratching moved through the walls like something was circling me. Three heavy knocks shook my bedroom door one night, and when I opened it, no one was there—but downstairs, a fire was burning in a fireplace we never used, in a chimney my father said was blocked.Something was in that house. Something that had been there before us and didn't want us there. And then, in January, everything changed. My mother got sick. Skin Cancer. The doctors gave her six months, maybe a year. And my father—the man who was supposed to hold us together—disappeared. Shacked up with some woman in another town, drowning himself in pills and booze while his wife was dying and his son was alone. I ended up staying with my best friend Brad Henderson's family. They took me in without question, gave me a bed and a place at their table. And every weekend, someone drove me to Atlanta so I could watch my mother fade away in a hospital room. She lost her hair. Lost her weight. Lost everything except her will to fight.Against all odds, she won. Almost a year to the day after her diagnosis, the doctors told us her cancer was in remission. She came home for Christmas, weighing maybe eighty pounds, wrapped in a scarf my friend's mother had knitted for her. And the first thing she did was look at my father's empty chair and say the words I'd been waiting to hear my whole life. We're leaving. But leaving wasn't simple. My father showed up one last time, took my mother's pain medication right out of the medicine cabinet, and vanished. He started selling those pills around town—the same town that had taken up a collection to help us, the same community that had rallied around my dying mother while he was nowhere to be found People got angry. The wrong kind of people. One night in January, I woke up to the sound of voices and vehicles in the yard. I looked out my window and saw twenty figures in white robes standing around a burning cross. The Klan had come to our house. Not because of us—because of him. Because of the shame he'd brought on his family in a place that took such things seriously.We left Lyerly two weeks later. My mother divorced my father, took back her maiden name, and we started over in a tiny apartment in Summerville. Two bedrooms. Thin walls. Stained carpet. But it was ours. And it was safe. I got a job at Dairy Queen. Went to school. Helped my mother however I could. The nightmares followed me—the dark figure, the dreams of something chasing me through endless woods—but I buried it all. Pushed it down. Told myself it didn't matter anymore.But I never forgot what I heard in those woods. Never forgot that huffing, that growling, those footsteps too heavy to be human. I knew it was real. I knew it was out there. And someday, I was going to find it again.But first, I had to grow up. First, I had to survive. That's Part One of Bigfoot Country.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/sasquatch-odyssey--4839697/support.

Fred from the SubArctic Alaska Sasqutch YouTube Channel shares three chilling Sasquatch encounters from the Last Frontier. A surveyor working near Tuck in the late 1980s finds himself stalked by multiple creatures while mapping remote acreage north of the Parks Highway. What begins with rock throwing and glimpses of a gray-skinned, black-eyed figure through his transit scope escalates when his entire campsite ends up mysteriously hoisted into a tree. The harassment continues as trees crash across his path and shadowy figures close in from all directions.Fred also shares Brian's harrowing experience on the Richardson Highway near Delta Junction during a winter trip to help a friend with a broken-down snow machine. A black figure spotted on the snow leads to a terrifying pursuit through waist-deep powder, complete with a screaming creature and a truck that almost fails to start.The episode closes with Clint's snow machining trip near Paxton at the start of the Denali Highway, where a massive white Sasquatch with dark roots showing through its fur leaves enormous tracks in the snow. One witness ends up pinned under an 800 RMK snow machine, when his buddy drops the machine and runs.Check Out SubArctic Alaska Sasquatch Get Our FREE NewsletterGet Brian's Books Leave Us A VoicemailVisit Our WebsiteBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/sasquatch-odyssey--4839697/support.

In this episode, Jonathan, calling from South Yorkshire in the UK, recounts a series of experiences that began when he was a child and resurfaced at different points throughout his life. What started as recurring nighttime episodes, moments where he believes he was lifted from his bed and later found himself on the floor, eventually gave way to other unexplained events. Violent disturbances in empty houses. A silent object crossing the night sky, seen alongside his father. And years later, during recovery from a serious injury, encounters that challenged his sense of control over his own body.More information on this episode on the podcast website:https://ufochroniclespodcast.com/2026If you enjoy this podcast, please support the show with a virtual coffee:https://ko-fi.com/ufochroniclespodcastFollow and Subscribe on X to get ad free episodesX: https://x.com/UFOchronpodcast/Want to share your encounter on the show?Email: UFOChronicles@gmail.comOr Fill out Guest Form:https://forms.gle/uGQ8PTVRkcjy4nxS7Podcast Merchandise:https://www.teepublic.com/user/ufo-chronicles-podcastHelp Support UFO CHRONICLES by becoming a Patron:https://patreon.com/UFOChroniclespodcastAll Links for Podcast:https://linktr.ee/UFOChroniclesPodcastThank you for listening!Like share and subscribe it really helps me when people share the show on social media, it means we can reach more people and more witnesses and without your amazing support, it wouldn't be possible.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/ufo-chronicles-podcast--3395068/support.

In this episode, we tackle the explosive developments surrounding the recent shooting incident involving an ICE agent and a woman in Minneapolis. President Trump has called for an investigation into the movement of $700 million in cash out of the airport, while FBI Director Kash Patel announces a criminal investigation into the organizers of anti-ICE protests that escalated into violence. John Solomon breaks down the significance of these events, highlighting the FBI's new stance on prosecuting those who obstruct law enforcement operations during protests.Joining the conversation are former law enforcement officials Jonathan Gilliam and Art Del Cueto, who provide expert analysis on the shooting incident. They discuss the video evidence, the legal implications, and whether the actions of the driver posed a legitimate threat to the officer involved. Solomon emphasizes the tragic series of decisions that led to this moment, from immigration policies to local governance, and the responsibility of law enforcement to de-escalate situations whenever possible.Later in the episode, Bobby Charles, former Assistant Secretary of State, shares insights on lessons learned from international law enforcement training that could be applied to improve responses in critical situations like this.
