    From Death's Door to Healing: Rick Hill's Extraordinary Journey

    Send us a textWhat would you do if doctors told you cancer had invaded your entire body and conventional medicine had nothing more to offer? In 1974, Rick Hill faced this devastating reality at the Mayo Clinic after eight hours of exploratory surgery revealed cancer throughout his lymphatic system. Weighing just 120 pounds and on morphine for pain, Rick made a decision that defied medical orthodoxy – he left the prestigious institution for a clinic in Tijuana offering treatments derived from apricot kernels.Rick's remarkable journey unfolds as he shares the three-component treatment that transformed his terminal prognosis: B17 (derived from apricot kernels), enzyme therapy to strip away the protein coating that shields cancer cells from immune detection, and pangamic acid (B15) to oxygenate his system. The results were astonishing – within three weeks, his color returned, pain subsided, and he could stand upright again. This wasn't temporary remission but the beginning of fifty cancer-free years.Beyond the medical aspects, Rick reveals the profound life lessons from facing mortality at such a young age. He emphasizes that true healing required more than just the initial treatment – it demanded a lifetime commitment to maintaining his health through continued supplementation and dietary vigilance. This experience ignited something powerful within him, propelling the once-stuttering young man to become a professional speaker, successful author, and co-inventor of an air purifier that sold 50 million units.Rick's passionate advocacy for medical freedom and alternative options comes not from anti-establishment sentiment but from lived experience. He offers a thought-provoking challenge: what if we focused on prevention rather than treatment? What if connecting the dots between our daily choices and future health outcomes could help us avoid serious illness altogether?Whether you're facing health challenges, interested in preventative approaches, or simply fascinated by extraordinary human stories, Rick's fifty-year journey offers wisdom, hope, and practical insights that could change how you think about health and healing.

    The Drive - A Daily Devotional by Pastor Mike Sternad

    Send us a textActs 19:11-20And God was doing extraordinary miracles by the hands of Paul, so that even handkerchiefs or aprons that had touched his skin were carried away to the sick, and their diseases left them and the evil spirits came out of them. Then some of the itinerant Jewish exorcists undertook to invoke the name of the Lord Jesus over those who had evil spirits, saying, “I adjure you by the Jesus whom Paul proclaims.” Seven sons of a Jewish high priest named Sceva were doing this. But the evil spirit answered them, “Jesus I know, and Paul I recognize, but who are you?” And the man in whom was the evil spirit leaped on them, mastered all of them and overpowered them, so that they fled out of that house naked and wounded. And this became known to all the residents of Ephesus, both Jews and Greeks. And fear fell upon them all, and the name of the Lord Jesus was extolled. Also many of those who were now believers came, confessing and divulging their practices. And a number of those who had practiced magic arts brought their books together and burned them in the sight of all. And they counted the value of them and found it came to fifty thousand pieces of silver. So the word of the Lord continued to increase and prevail mightily.Support the show

    China Daily Podcast

    Economists and policy advisers have said that it is a strategic necessity for China to further scale back holdings in United States government debt in order to safeguard national financial stability, amid waning confidence in the dollar-based system and persistent geopolitical tensions.经济学家和政策顾问表示,在对以美元为基础的体系的信心减弱和持续的地缘政治紧张局势下,中国进一步缩减对美国政府债务的持有是一种战略必要性,以维护国家金融稳定。To pursue a more balanced, controllable allocation of foreign exchange reserves, the country is also likely to increase investments in non-dollar assets, including financial instruments of its Asian trading partners and crucial resources such as gold, energy and food, they added.他们补充说,为了实现更平衡、更可控的外汇储备分配,中国还可能增加对非美元资产的投资,包括其亚洲贸易伙伴的金融工具以及黄金、能源和粮食等关键资源。Yu Yongding, an academic member of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, called for China to continue reducing US government debt holdings in an orderly manner.中国社会科学院院士余永定呼吁中国继续有序减持美国国债。"The ideal approach would be to increase imports and utilize the excess foreign exchange reserves to purchase high-tech capital goods and strategic materials. This could require China to narrow its trade surplus, move toward a basic balance in the trade of goods and services, or even run a trade deficit for a while."“理想的做法是增加进口,利用多余的外汇储备购买高科技资本货物和战略物资。这可能需要中国缩小贸易顺差,实现商品和服务贸易的基本平衡,甚至在一段时间内出现贸易逆差。”"Extraordinary times call for extraordinary measures. We must closely monitor the US fiscal situation and prepare contingency plans to avoid being caught off guard," Yu said.余表示:“非常时期需要非常措施。我们必须密切关注美国财政状况,制定应急计划,避免措手不及。”。After stepping back from being the second-largest holder of US debt to third place in March, China further reduced its holdings of US Treasury securities in May by $900 million, to $756.3 billion, the lowest since February 2009, when the reading was $744.2 billion, according to the US Department of the Treasury.根据美国财政部的数据,中国在3月份从美国债务的第二大持有者退居第三位后,5月份进一步减少了9亿美元的美国国债持有量,至7563亿美元,为2009年2月以来的最低水平,当时该数字为7442亿美元。The reduction bucked the overall rebound of foreign holdings in US debt after a drop in April. Foreign holdings of US Treasury securities increased from April's $9.013 trillion to $9.046 trillion in May, with major US debt holders such as Japan, the United Kingdom and Canada increasing their holdings.这一减少抵消了外国持有的美国债务在4月份下降后的整体反弹。外国持有的美债从4月份的9.013万亿美元增加到5月份的9.046万亿美元,日本、英国和加拿大等主要美国债务持有者增加了持有量。Wang Peng, an associate researcher at the Beijing Academy of Social Sciences, said that China's holding cut in May—the third consecutive month of decrease despite other major holders' increased exposure—stems from a continued effort to optimize the structure of foreign exchange reserves.北京社会科学院副研究员王鹏表示,尽管其他主要持有者的敞口增加,但中国5月份的减持是连续第三个月下降,这源于持续优化外汇储备结构的努力。The aim is to reduce the risks of overreliance on US government debt and limit potential economic losses from geopolitical tensions, including the risk of asset freezes in the event of US sanctions, Wang said, adding that the move also reflects concerns about growing US fiscal deficits and uncertainty about the US economy.王表示,此举的目的是降低过度依赖美国政府债务的风险,并限制地缘政治紧张局势造成的潜在经济损失,包括在美国制裁的情况下冻结资产的风险。他补充说,此举也反映了人们对美国财政赤字不断增长和美国经济不确定性的担忧。Pan Gongsheng, governor of the People's Bank of China, the nation's central bank, has pointed to the risks associated with the US dollar's dominance as the global reserve currency, saying last month that US fiscal and financial regulatory problems could spill over, while the dollar could be weaponized in geopolitical conflicts.中国央行中国人民银行行长潘功胜指出了美元作为全球储备货币的主导地位所带来的风险,他上个月表示,美国的财政和金融监管问题可能会蔓延,而美元可能会在地缘政治冲突中被武器化。Guan Tao, global chief economist at investment bank BOCI China, said there is no immediate risk of a US sovereign debt crisis, as market demand for US Treasuries remains strong, and US Treasury yields could fall if the US Federal Reserve cuts rates later this year. Bond yields move in the opposite direction of prices.投资银行中银国际中国(BOCI China)全球首席经济学家关涛(Guan Tao)表示,目前没有美国主权债务危机的风险,因为市场对美国国债的需求仍然强劲,如果美联储今年晚些时候降息,美国国债收益率可能会下降。债券收益率与价格走势相反。But the deeper concern, Guan said, is US debt's long-term sustainability. If US government debt keeps expanding without a path to stabilization, it will eventually trigger problems.但关表示,更令人担忧的是美国债务的长期可持续性。如果美国政府债务继续扩大而没有稳定的道路,最终将引发问题。Credit ratings agency Moody's downgraded the US credit rating to Aa1 in May, citing runaway deficits, while the US administration's massive tax-and-spending bill, effective this month, could intensify such concerns, as it is forecast to increase US federal deficits by more than $3 trillion over the next decade.信用评级机构穆迪在5月份将美国信用评级下调至Aa1,理由是赤字失控,而美国政府本月生效的巨额税收和支出法案可能会加剧这种担忧,因为预计未来十年美国联邦赤字将增加3万亿美元以上。Chen Weidong, director of the Research Institute of Bank of China, said, "As the third-largest holder of US Treasuries, China must build a multilayered, systematic strategy to guard against mounting risks tied to US sovereign debt and the dollar-based financial system.中国银行研究院院长陈卫东表示:“作为美国国债的第三大持有者,中国必须建立一个多层次、系统的战略,以防范与美国主权债务和以美元为基础的金融体系相关的日益增长的风险。"This is not only vital for China's financial security, but also has far-reaching implications for the evolution of the global financial order," Chen said, adding that China has cut its US Treasury holdings by over 40 percent since 2013.陈表示:“这不仅对中国的金融安全至关重要,而且对全球金融秩序的演变也有着深远的影响。”他补充说,自2013年以来,中国已将其持有的美国国债减少了40%以上。He said that key priorities for China going forward include gradually reducing US Treasury holdings, optimizing the dollar investment portfolio by allocating more to short-term securities, increasing non-dollar investments, and advancing renminbi internationalization.他说,中国未来的主要优先事项包括逐步减少美国国债持有量,通过将更多资金分配给短期证券来优化美元投资组合,增加非美元投资,以及推进人民币国际化。He also called for deepening financial cooperation within Asia—which together holds over 60 percent of global reserves in dollar-denominated assets—so that Asia can form an internal reserve circulation system and reduce its reliance on external markets.他还呼吁深化亚洲内部的金融合作,亚洲拥有全球60%以上的美元计价资产储备,这样亚洲就可以形成内部储备流通体系,减少对外部市场的依赖。China has been stepping up efforts to diversify its reserve assets. The country's official gold reserves rose for the eighth consecutive month to 73.9 million ounces at the end of June, the State Administration of Foreign Exchange said.中国一直在加紧努力,使其储备资产多样化。国家外汇管理局表示,截至6月底,该国官方黄金储备连续第八个月增长至7390万盎司。consecutiven.连续不断的/kənˈsɛkjʊtɪv/dollar-denominatedn.以美元标价的/ˈdɒlə dɪˈnɒmɪneɪtɪd/

    As you may have heard on previous episodes here, I've grown a distaste for the concept of validation. It seems everyone wants to talk about their feelings and perspectives and then claim their right to be validated, even if their feelings and perspectives are incredibly misguided and harming themselves and others. I began putting my focus on self-validation and fulfilling the need internally instead of looking to others. It turns out, I wasn't totally off base, but I was missing out on an opportunity to connect with people. I found out by having a deep conversation with Dr. Caroline Fleck, which you are about to hear. Caroline is a licensed psychologist and a world-renowned expert on the topic of validation, and her new book Validation: How the Skill Set That Revolutionized Psychology Will Transform Your Relationships, Increase Your Influence, and Change Your Life has already been translated in nine different languages. Caroline has an M.A. and PhD from the Department of Psychology and Neuroscience at Duke University and has become a highly respected voice in psychology which finds her featured in national media outlets, such as The New York Times, Good Morning America, and The Huffington Post. When I got the request to have her on the show, I replied back to her personally, sharing my reservations, and asked if she was game to discuss my skepticism on validation. She was, and I got great value and insight into what validation is and is not, and how I can better use it to authentically connect with people, even if I do not at all align or support their perspective. I believe you'll find great value here. drcarolinefleck.com Sign up for your $1/month trial period at shopify.com/kevin Go to shipstation.com and use code KEVIN to start your free trial.

    Continuing His warnings to His disciples about the cost and extremity of discipleship to Christ, Jesus warns His followers to vigorously avoid causing stumbling to others and to themselves. To learn the tutelage of Christ is to follow the example of Christ, to live a life that is a “living sacrifice” (Rom 12:1–2) and to consider one's own life as loss for the surpassing value of knowing Christ Jesus their Lord (Phil 3:8).

    Welcome to Series 4 of The extra-Ordinary Leader. In this launch episode, I take a moment to define what I mean by “extra-Ordinary leadership.” It's not about being grandiose or exceptional in the traditional sense—it's about adding extra to the ordinary parts of your leadership, life, and career.I open up about my own inflexion point—moving from a full-time stay-at-home mum and vicar's wife to running my own consultancy, working with senior leaders and organisations across sectors. I share how this journey has shaped my mission: to help people access and borrow the "extras" from others so they can show up more powerfully in their own spaces.In this season, we'll hear from a range of brilliant leaders about their own inflexion points—the turning points that reshaped their leadership and lives. You'll also hear shorter solo episodes, ‘Dolly in My Pocket', where I pull bite-sized insights from my book The extra-Ordinary Leader.If you want to think differently, lead courageously, and navigate your own inflexion points with clarity, this season is for you.The extra-Ordinary Leader book is out now.

    Joe Hamilton, Legend of Conservation - Part 1 of 2. The profound success story of whitetail conservation could not be told without Joe Hamilton. He spearheaded a movement in the South that expanded across the country forever changing the landscape of herd health and habitat quality. I met Mr. Joe years ago at Rose Hill Plantation sometime in the early 2000's. I was thrilled to shake his hand and to be invited on such a hunt by the Morrison family. I've never been one to follow hunting media shows or celebrity type hunters. QDMA was the content I consumed and Joe is a figure that I've always admired and respected.  Several years ago I connected with Joe Hamilton again.  Joe joined us for a mentored hunt at my family farm for a memorable weekend and since then we have stayed in touch. When I started Southeast Whitetail, Joe was at the top of my list to interview and showcase his dedication and career work with conservation. Thus, I asked Joe to film the first episode of Southeastern Sit-down Series: Joe Hamilton, Legend of Conservation.  Joe has a long and storied history in the outdoors which is well documented in his book: "Firepot Stories".  A fascinating read and very informative of the revered white-tailed deer.  Thank you for listening to the interview and a very special thank you to Mr. Joe Hamilton. He opened his home to me and I greatly appreciate his time. Below are career highlights and the numerous recognition awards.  Career:Native of Elizabethtown, NC.BS Degree in Forest Resources 1971 - UGAMS Degree in Wildlife Biology 1978 - UGASC DNR 1979 - 1995Founded QDMA in 1988 and has been involved with various roles & positions still to this day.Ducks Unlimited 1996 - 2000Awards & Achievements:1975 - NC Wildlife Federation Conservationist of the Year.1982 - Julian C.

    POINT #1: “ARE THERE LIMITS TO GOD'S POWER, ABILITY, AND BLESSING?” Ephesians 3:20 (NASB1995)20 Now to Him who is able to do far more abundantly beyond all that we ask or think, according to the power that works within us.  Ephesians 3:20 (PASSION TRANSLATION)Never doubt God's mighty power to work in you and accomplish all this. He will achieve infinitely more than your greatest request, your most unbelievable dream, and exceed your wildest imagination! He will outdo them all, for his miraculous power constantly energizes you. POINT #2: YOUR CAPACITY TO RECEIVE WILL LIMIT WHAT GOD CAN DO IN YOUR LIFE. 2 KINGS 4:1-7 (NASB1995)1 Now a certain woman of the wives of the sons of the prophets cried out to Elisha, “Your servant my husband is dead, and you know that your servant feared the Lord; and the creditor has come to take my two children to be his slaves.” 2 Elisha said to her, “What shall I do for you? Tell me, what do you have in the house?” And she said, “Your maidservant has nothing in the house except a jar of oil.” 3 Then he said, “Go, borrow vessels at large for yourself from all your neighbors, even empty vessels; do not get a few. 4 And you shall go in and shut the door behind you and your sons, and pour out into all these vessels, and you shall set aside what is full.” 5 So she went from him and shut the door behind her and her sons; they were bringing the vessels to her and she poured. 6 When the vessels were full, she said to her son, “Bring me another vessel.” And he said to her, “There is not one vessel more.” And the oil stopped. 7 Then she came and told the man of God. And he said, “Go, sell the oil and pay your debt, and you and your sons can live on the rest.”  POINT #3: WE CAN LIMIT GOD BY OUR SMALL THINKING!!! JOHN 10:10JESUS SAID THAT HE CAME THAT WE MIGHT HAVE LIFE AND HAVE IT MORE ABUNDANTLY!! ABUNDANTLY: GREEK = OVER AND ABOVE, MORE THAN IS NECESSARY, SUPERADDED. SUPERIOR, SURPASSING, EXTRAORDINARY!!! 2 Peter 1:3 (NAS)seeing that His divine power has granted to us everything pertaining to life and godliness, through the true knowledge of Him who called us by His own glory and excellence. 2 Peter 1:3 (PASSION TRANSLATION)Everything we could ever need for life and complete devotion to God has already been deposited in us by his divine power.

    A Fine Marriage, Now an Extraordinary Marriage: Bart's Story Bart is a Christian leader. He's the head of a childcare agency working with traumatized children and teens. He's been married for nearly 20 years and has four beautiful kids. And by his own admission? He was tired. Burned out. Irritable. Or, in his words—“crusty.” He wasn't in crisis. His marriage wasn't “on the rocks.” But it wasn't thriving either. And Bart knew something had to change. Christian Leaders Get Tired, Too—But That Doesn't Mean You Stay There One Saturday morning, Bart's wife tried to be playful with him—and he snapped. He didn't mean to. He was just worn out, juggling too many roles, feeling the pressure of leadership, family, and ministry. But his wife's gentle confrontation was a turning point. She didn't yell. She didn't threaten. She just called it what it was. And Bart—rather than shutting down—responded with humility and self-reflection. Not because he had to… But because he wanted to grow. Why “Good Enough” Marriage Isn't the Goal—Even for Ministry Leaders Bart described his marriage as “a 9 on a bad day.” No major fights. No betrayals. No one was threatening to leave. But deep down, he knew something wasn't right. The joy was fading. The connection was inconsistent. And his presence at home was… thin. Too many leaders settle for “fine” because there isn't obvious brokenness. But lack of crisis doesn't mean abundance of health. How One Christian Husband Reconnected With His Wife (and Kids) Bart didn't just learn new tools—he let God change his posture. He took a long, hard look at his own heart. He asked his wife, with full honesty, "Have I made intimacy feel transactional to you?" She said no. But Bart still made changes. He apologized for things from 20 years ago. He went to his kids, one by one, and asked for forgiveness for being emotionally absent. And the impact? Laughter returned. Confidence rose. Connection was rebuilt—at home, where it matters most. When You Lead at Work But Struggle at Home Bart's job requires emotional intelligence, patience, and deep listening. He gives that to kids, to employees, to families in crisis. But when he got home? He was depleted. He admits, “I was giving my best to strangers—not to the people who mattered most.” The CIRQUE listening framework helped him shift. Not just in knowledge—but in behavior. He started seeing his wife again. Not as someone who was “doing fine,” but as someone he was called to serve and cherish. Intention Without Action Won't Heal a Struggling Marriage One of the most striking moments in Bart's story? The first time he walked around the car to open the door for his wife in years. She paused. Surprised. It had been that long. But it wasn't about the door. It was about intentionality. About pursuit. About loving her like the daughter of the King she is. Christian Leaders: Your Marriage Doesn't Have to Be Broken to Be Better Friend, maybe your marriage isn't “bad.” Maybe no one knows how empty or tired you feel. Maybe your congregation thinks everything's fine. But you know. You know you're not showing up the way you want to. You know she deserves more. You know God is calling you deeper. Don't wait for a crisis to choose transformation. Don't wait for regret to become your motivation. Start now. Invest now. Lead your home like Jesus—by going first.

Floated from her bed, subjected to alien exams, she endured missing time & trauma. A burned circle in her garden and neighbors' reports of odd lights backed her story. Hypnosis uncovered lifelong experiences, possibly tied to alien experiments.More information on this episode on the podcast website:https://ufochroniclespodcast.com/ep-119-extraordinary-contact/Link to Debbie Kauble:www.debshome.comWant 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/UFOChroniclespodcastX: https://twitter.com/UFOchronpodcastThank 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.

    The Poco a Poco Podcast with the Franciscan Friars of the Renewal

    As Fr. Mark-Mary mentioned, the friars will be taking a meaningful break to embrace the rest and the joy of the Jubilee Year. While they are away, please enjoy listening (or re-listening) to this previously released episode, and join us in continuing to pray for Fr. Mark-Mary, Fr. Innocent, Fr. Angelus, and Fr. PT as they follow God's will and heed the call of the Jubilee. The Poco a Poco podcast happens because of many generous donors, including recurring monthly donations of any amount.

Although the ordinary life is simple, hidden, and seems kind of normal, there's so much sanctity in our vocations that are being lived faithfully. It might not be flashy or spectacular, but it's one of the most real ways we can grow in holiness. We may not be in the chapel or church making a eucharistic holy hour, but no matter what our day-to-day experiences look like or what daily lives we are accustomed to, God is there.  There's something extraordinary in our ordinary experiences. It is possible to be in relationship with God, amidst everything that we do. We just need to make the space and time, no matter how small, and let Him enter into our lives
