Reb Joey begins the Alter Rebbe's introduction to Tanya by exploring why the sefer is called a “collection of teachings” and how the arrangement of Torah itself can reveal something entirely new. From there, he enters the central question of the introduction: how can a fixed book speak personally to every individual, almost as if one were encountering the tzaddik face to face?Series page: ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://inwardtorah.org/series/tanya⁠⁠Support Reb Joey's Torah: ⁠⁠⁠https://inwardtorah.org/support⁠⁠

The post Day 147 1 Corinthians Chapter 15 appeared first on ENCOUNTER.

Peter's story is one of bold faith, painful failure, and remarkable restoration. Jess walks through Peter's denial of Jesus and his powerful encounter with the risen Christ, showing how Jesus meets us in our brokenness, restores our relationship with Him, and calls us back into a life of purpose. Peter's failure didn't have the final word and neither do ours.

There are moments that can change the direction of a person's life. In Mark 2, we meet a paralyzed man and his friends, who come to Jesus and think they know what the paralyzed man needs, but Jesus was about to give him something even greater than he ever imagined.

fikats tillsammans tidigare, men idag är behövd något speciellt.En: They've had coffee together before, but today required something special.Sv: Oskar är nervös.En: Oskar is nervous.Sv: Hans blick vandrar ner till hans väska, som bär akrylfärger, penslar och några gamla tidningar.En: His gaze drifts down to his bag, which carries acrylic paints, brushes, and some old newspapers.Sv: Lena, å sin sida, bär alltid på sin väska med anteckningsblock, pennor och en bok om gamla Gotlandssägner.En: Lena, for her part, always carries her bag with notebooks, pens, and a book about old Gotland

unnecessary chaos.Sv: Ingen märkte bytet.En: No one noticed the switch.Sv: När de återvände till sina platser med kaffe i hand, var det som om ödet spelade dem ett spratt.En: When they returned to

surely think I read about sheep art," he thought.Sv: Men Lena tittade upp, hennes blick full av nyfikenhet och skratt.En: But Lena looked up, her gaze full of curiosity and laughter.Sv: "Är detta din hemliga konstinspiration, Oskar?"En: "Is this your secret art inspiration, Oskar?"Sv: frågade hon med ett busigt leende.En: she asked with a mischievous smile.Sv: Oskar tog ett djupt andetag och bestämde sig för att spela med.En: Oskar took a deep breath and decided to play along.Sv: "Ja, jag visste att du skulle veta," sa han med en teatral falskhet.En: "Yes, I knew you would find out," he said with theatrical falseness.Sv: De skrattade båda högt.En: They both laughed loudly.Sv: Det var så absurt, men komiskt, att det bara förde dem närmare.En: It was so absurd yet comical that it only brought them closer.Sv: Med humorn som bärare av deras nya vänskap, föreslog Lena ett gemensamt konstprojekt.En: With humor as the carrier of their new friendship, Lena suggested a joint art project.Sv: "Du kan måla, och jag kan skriva," sa hon.En: "You can paint, and I can write," she said.Sv: Oskar log brett.En: Oskar smiled broadly.Sv: Hans hjärta svämmade över med en nyfunnen glädje och mod.En: His heart overflowed with newfound joy and courage.Sv: "Det låter fantastiskt," svarade han och kände att hans mål inte bara handlade om att imponera längre utan om sann kontakt och kreativt utbyte.En: "That sounds fantastic," he replied, feeling that his goal was no longer just about impressing but about true connection and creative exchange.Sv: I den långa sommarsolen, i kaféets levande atmosfär, lämnade Oskar och Lena stället med sig ovärderlig inspiration och nya planer.En: In the long summer sun, in the café's lively atmosphere, Oskar and Lena left the place with invaluable inspiration and new plans.Sv: Deras väskor var tillbaka där de hörde hemma, men deras innehåll hade förenats i en gemensam, inspirerande vision.En: Their bags were back where they belonged,

The post Fixing My Eyes appeared first on ENCOUNTER.

This Sunday we walked through Luke 24 and were reminded that the burdens the Lord puts on our hearts can be pure evidence that He desires to answer and redeem them. Sometimes He asks us to keep praying, keep pressing in, and even "sweat a little" so that when He moves, we know it could only have been Him. From the beginning, His desire has been to give grace so that we would praise the Glory of His grace.      Want to watch a version of this message?

Brian sits down with Doug from Washington State, a lifelong resident of Pend Oreille County in the far northeastern corner of the state, for a conversation that starts with one winter night on a county road and opens out into thirty years of reports from the same block of mountains.Doug and his wife were driving home from her job after dark, deep in the middle of winter, when something crossed in front of them in two strides. Not walking. Running, hunched forward the way a man runs when he's moving as hard as he can. Doug puts it at eight feet tall and somewhere around six or seven hundred pounds, covered head to toe in dark gray hair, moving through three and a half to four feet of snow at a speed no person on snowshoes could match. He went home and got an ax and intended to go back out after it, and his wife talked him out of it, which he now concedes was the better reasoning of the two of them.What follows is the kind of interview I like best, because Doug isn't selling anything. He was aware of the subject before it happened to him, he'd seen the Patterson-Gimlin film, and he still describes himself as somebody who simply hadn't seen it for himself yet. He talks about his great uncle Lou, a World War One veteran who worked the woods as a surveyor and spent time in the Civilian Conservation Corps camps during the Depression, and who called the thing he and his wife ran into out huckleberry picking the Skookum Man, and who got shut down by his wife Alsa before he could tell the boys any more about it.He talks about the military survival trainer who came into his family's bar and mentioned the instruction given to men training above Cusick, Washington, near Tacoma Creek, which was not to engage bipedal creatures in the woods. He talks about why he thinks these things are seen crossing roads so often when they're otherwise almost impossible to find, why he lands on a single species rather than five or six subspecies, and why he thinks the strangeness that clings to this subject may say more about our own government than it does about the animal. He also brings the Vietnam rock ape accounts he heard from his brothers and their Marine friends, and his answer to skeptics, which is that being skeptical is perfectly fine and he isn't going to beg anybody for anything.Partway through, I stop the interview and take a long detour, because Doug mentioned sightings up around Sullivan Lake and Priest Lake and I'd spent the previous few weeks going through the actual case files out of that country. What's on the record there is more substantial than most people realize A woman kayaking on Sullivan Lake in August of two thousand two who floated within fifteen yards of what she first took for a very tall old man in gray, sitting on a stump with his legs crossed and his hands folded over his knee, and who learned that evening that her niece had seen the same thing from her own boat. Two fishermen four months earlier on the south end of that same lake, run out of their tent at night by crashes, a musty smell, and a gray shape seven to nine feet tall through the mesh window.Two bear hunters northwest of Ione in September of nineteen ninety-eight who found three sets of tracks traveling together at eighteen inches, fifteen to sixteen inches, and thirteen inches, and who made a cast so poor the man freely admitted he had no idea what he was doing. A motorist outside Ione in nineteen ninety-one who stopped his car for something in the headlights and then wrote, in his own report, that he never said he saw Bigfoot, only that he saw something strange on the road and doesn't know what it was.Then the interlude crosses the state line, because the line is a survey mark and nothing more. Priest Lake sits in Bonner County, Idaho, which carries more reports than any other county in that state, and between the two lakes is the Salmo-Priest Wilderness and the Selkirk Mountains, grizzly country, some of the least broken forest left in the lower forty-eight, running unbroken north into Canada. Three backpackers woken at midnight in August of two thousand twenty by three loud bounces they later matched at daylight by throwing a four-foot log. A woodcutter east of Nordman in October of nineteen eighty who watched something slide down a five-foot embankment on its feet, walk alongside his moving pickup within arm's reach, look both ways before crossing in front of him, and reach a hand toward his hood, and who sat on that story for twenty-eight years. A fisherman on the Upper Priest River in two thousand sixteen, armed, who says he was too scared to move. Six hikers on Lion Creek in two thousand seventeen who found a sixteen-inch print, a pressed bed of sawgrass eight feet by nine feet, and knocks that came in threes from moving locations.And a three-toed cast out of the Priest River country in nineteen ninety-seven that I lay out honestly as the red flag it is, along with a warning about the generated web articles now circulating around it that I could not source back to any real reporting.I close the segment on what I think actually matters in that batch, which isn't any single sighting.It's that the woman volunteered nobody had been drinking, the hunter admitted his cast was garbage, the motorist refused to let anybody put a word in his mouth, the woodcutter reported finding no tracks, the backpackers went out and tested the sound until they matched it, and the fisherman admitted he lost track of where the thing went. Two lakes, one mountain range, a state line that means nothing to anything living there, and thirty years of reports from bear hunters, woodcutters, kayakers, fishermen, and backpackers, most of whom kept quiet for years before they told anyone.Email BrianJoin 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.Have you had a Bigfoot encounter, Sasquatch sighting, Dogman experience, or other cryptid or paranormal encounter?

Copyright ©2026, Weird Darkness.Originally aired: May 06, 2024This episode of Weird Darkness moves chronologically through ten of history's most frequently cited UFO encounters, opening with a 1947 debris field on a New Mexico ranch and closing with a 2004 Navy radar encounter off the California coast.In July 1947, rancher William "Mac" Brazel discovers unusual metallic debris scattered across the Foster homestead north of Roswell, New Mexico, and reports it to Sheriff George Wilcox, who alerts the Roswell Army Air Field. Intelligence officer Major Jesse Marcel collects the material, and on July 8th the RAAF issues a press release announcing the recovery of a "flying disc." The story runs in newspapers nationwide before General Roger Ramey holds a press conference the next day identifying the debris as a weather balloon. The retraction does little to end the speculation; decades later, ufologists raise claims of recovered alien bodies and a government cover-up, and in 1994 the Air Force publishes "Case Closed: Final Report on the Roswell Crash," attributing the debris to the classified high-altitude balloon program Project Mogul.From there, the episode moves to April 6th, 1966, when more than two hundred students, teachers, and residents near Westall High School in the Melbourne suburb of Westall, Australia, watch a gray, saucer-shaped craft descend, hover for roughly twenty minutes, and shoot skyward at high speed after a second object appears to intercept it. Students who walk into the nearby field known as The Grange afterward find circular patches of flattened grass. Australian authorities attribute the sighting to a weather balloon, an explanation many witnesses reject, and researcher Shane Ryan later interviews dozens of them for the documentary "Westall '66: A Suburban UFO Mystery."Next comes the Pascagoula Abduction: shipyard coworkers Charles Hickson and Calvin Parker are fishing on the Pascagoula River in Mississippi on the night of October 11th, 1973, when a whirring oval craft with flashing lights hovers roughly forty feet above them and three robotic, wrinkled-skinned beings pull them aboard for what they describe as a twenty-minute physical examination. The men report the encounter to the local sheriff's office, which secretly records their conversation while leaving them alone in a room, capturing Hickson's visible distress rather than any hint of a hoax. Both men pass polygraph tests and undergo hypnosis, and UFO researchers J. Allen Hynek and James Harder investigate the case and find no evidence of fabrication.A similar pattern surfaces three years later in Maine, where twin brothers Jack and Jim Weiner and fellow art students Chuck Rak and Charlie Foltz are camping on Eagle Lake in the Allagash wilderness in August 1976 when a glowing orb appears to follow their canoe. After Charlie Foltz signals it with a flashlight, the light expands and engulfs the group, and the men find themselves back at a campsite fire that has burned down to embers with no memory of the intervening time. Years later, recurring nightmares send the four men to psychiatrist and UFO researcher Dr. Raymond Fowler, whose hypnotic regression sessions produce matching accounts of grey-alien medical examinations aboard a craft, a story that eventually reaches national audiences through "Unsolved Mysteries" and multiple books.Military personnel take center

Fred from the Subarctic Alaska Sasquatch is back with a disturbing report of increased activity across the Kenai Peninsula before turning to a recent encounter involving Marty and her grandson, Doug, near Alaska's remote McCarthy Road.The trouble began when electrical problems forced their RV off the dirt road near an old single-lane bridge dating back to 1910. While Marty remained inside the vehicle, Doug walked toward the bridge to record the scenery with his new iPhone. The forest suddenly went completely silent. Moments later, an explosive scream tore through the valley with enough force to make Doug drop the phone into a steep ravine.Looking toward a nearby bluff, Doug spotted an enormous humanoid figure standing above the road. He estimated it was more than ten feet tall.As the figure began moving in the direction of the stranded RV, Doug rushed back to warn his grandmother.Marty had already begun hearing pebbles and larger rocks striking the outside of the camper. Overcome by an intense sense of danger, she looked outside and saw a massive dark figure near the vehicle.Fearing it was preparing to attack, she loaded a shotgun and waited inside while the impacts continued. A local family eventually arrived and confirmed that they had also seen what they believed was a Bigfoot. As they attempted to help Marty and Doug leave the area, rocks were thrown into the bed of their truck.During the escape, Marty caught another glimpse of the figure shaking trees and unleashing powerful vocalizations from the timber. What began as a routine mechanical problem had left them stranded beside an isolated Alaskan bridge with something enormous closing in from the wilderness.Subarctic Alaska Sasquatch YouTube ChannelEmail BrianJoin 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.Have you had a Bigfoot encounter, Sasquatch sighting, Dogman experience, or other cryptid or paranormal encounter?

Brian welcomes Mark from Michigan to share a lifetime of unsettling encounters involving Sasquatch, Dogman, and other unexplained activity. Mark's story begins around the age of ten, when his father reported seeing a tall, long-haired figure near the family farm and something began tapping on the windows at night.Years later, while deer hunting near a cornfield, Mark encountered an enormous gunmetal-gray Sasquatch accompanied by an overpowering odor of rotting meat and skunk. The woods suddenly went silent, nearby animals reacted strangely, and the experience left him with recurring nightmares that caused him to abandon the rest of the hunting season.Mark also describes discovering large X formations, teepee-like wood structures, unusual tracks, clicking sounds, unexplained lights, and a rock deliberately placed on top of a stump. During one turkey hunt, something attempted to imitate his barred owl call before a large figure appeared to peek at him from behind a tree. The encounters did not stop with Sasquatch. Mark recounts seeing a massive bipedal canine creature, finding unusual doglike tracks, observing glowing eyes near his home, and encountering an abnormally large black coyote-like animal that he could not bring himself to shoot. He also discovered several deer that had been opened and gutted without any of the meat being taken.Brian and Mark examine why witnesses often remain silent, whether these creatures are undiscovered flesh-and-blood animals or connected to something far stranger, and why an intelligent being might deliberately allow itself to be seen. Mark also explains why he believes researchers should approach these subjects with patience, respect, and as little intrusion as possible.Email BrianJoin 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.Have you had a Bigfoot encounter, Sasquatch sighting, Dogman experience, or other cryptid or paranormal encounter?

What if the terrifying supernatural encounter that haunted your childhood was never random? Join Tony Merkel as he sits down with Aron, who shares how years of being stalked by a mysterious, rake-like creature ultimately led him through fear, deception, witchcraft, and a desperate search for truth before he encountered the life-changing power of Jesus Christ. Rather than letting darkness define his story, Aron explains how those experiences became the foundation for a ministry focused on exposing spiritual warfare and confronting the occult through biblical faith. Together, Tony and Aron explore what these encounters reveal about the unseen battle taking place around us and why spiritual discernment is more important than ever. Whether you're fascinated by cryptid encounters, spiritual warfare, or powerful Christian testimonies, this episode will challenge the way you think about the supernatural.If you're able, consider helping the Merkel family with medical expenses by donating to Lindsay's GoFundMe: https://gofund.me/b8f76890
