Podcasts about Famine

Ireland's history isn't only castles and green landscapes. Famine, conflict, ancient beliefs, emigration, ghost stories, and traditions surrounding death are woven through the places travelers visit today. Full article & links: https://irelandfamilyvacations.com/dark-tourism-in-ireland/ireland-travel-tips/ Luisa Golz, Director of Sales at Desmond Tours, completed her PhD research on festivals with dark themes. She joins Jody to explain what dark tourism actually means, why travelers are drawn to these places, and how Ireland's darker history can add depth to a trip without turning the entire vacation into doom and gloom. Highlights: • What "dark tourism" actually means — and why you may already be doing it • Why famine ships, workhouses, and memorials can create such powerful travel experiences • How Samhain, Halloween, folklore, and "thin places" fit into Ireland's darker traditions • How to visit places associated with tragedy respectfully Ireland Travel Resources: - Car Rental & Driving Guide: https://irelandfamilyvacations.com/drive - DIY Ireland Travel Planner: https://irelandfamilyvacations.com/compass - Expert Ireland travel advice by email: https://ifv.kit.com/51952569c5

As the pieces are rearranged on the global chessboard, supply lines are shutting down, and the movement of goods is actively being suppressed. Fertilizer from the Middle East will not be leaving in time for planting season for desperate nations, and food outputs will suffer as a result.Could a future global famine be planned for 2027 to thin the herd in time for Agenda 2030? Everything is being moved into place to reduce global food production by blocking trade routes and maritime chokepoints. Planning for food insecurity should become a priority, but most people will ignore the signs until it is too late and the food stops arriving.---Macroaggressionswww.Macroaggressions.ioMerch StoreLink Tree Video ChannelsRumble | YouTube | BrighteonActivist PostNewsletter Sign UpAudiobooksHypocrazyThe Octopus of Global ControlSupport Our SponsorsReplace Your Mortgage: www.WipeOutYourMortgageNow.comGround Luxe Grounding MatsC60 Power | Promo Code: MACROChemical Free Body | Promo Code: MACROWise Wolf Gold & SilverLegalShield: www.DontGetPushedAround.comChristian Yordanov's Health ProgramThe Dollar VigilanteNesa's Hemp | Promo Code: MACROAugason Farms

Did you know there are 19 commands in Jesus' teaching about the end times in the Olivet Discourse in Mark 13? Are you keeping them? The disciples asked Jesus for signs of the end of the age. Jesus responded by giving some non-signs—events that false teachers will tell you are signs, but are not. The first thing Jesus did when they asked for signs and times was to look them in the eye and say, "Watch out that no one deceives you." This message will help you keep from being deceived by popular but misguided claims about the signs of the end, and it may revolutionize your way of reading the Olivet Discourse. In this expository study of Mark 13:5-6, we examine the structure and purpose of the Olivet Discourse.

My sermons are the fruit of nearly 30 years of pastoral ministry, biblical counseling, formal seminary training, and a lifelong passion for God's Word. Since childhood, I've been drawn to the beauty and power of expository preaching—opening Scripture verse by verse and applying it to real life. After graduating from Moody Bible Institute, I spent the next 27 years serving as a youth pastor, senior pastor, church planter, and host of the Food For Your Soul radio broadcast.

In this sermon, Pastor Ricky Temple teaches that reaching a new level does not eliminate pressure, uncertainty, or opposition, using Isaac’s experience during famine to show the importance of obeying God even when circumstances make another option seem more practical. He emphasizes that faith requires filtering instincts through God’s instructions, remaining where God has assigned you, continuing to sow in difficult conditions, and refusing to let conflict keep you trapped when God can lead you into greater room to flourish.

Famine strikes, and Isaac faces a choice: flee to safety in Egypt, or trust God's command to stay put. Dr. John Neufeld traces what happens next—a crisis of obedience that exposes Isaac's fear, his dishonesty, and ultimately, his heart. Along the way, he unpacks a hard but freeing truth: obedience to God often creates crisis rather than avoiding it, and it's in crisis that we discover what's really in our hearts.Amazing Promises to Dysfunctional People: In this 20-message series, Dr. John Neufeld walks through the dysfunctional family of Abraham found in Genesis 25-36, uncovering the relational brokenness at its core. Sin leaves human relationships fractured—we long for connection, yet find ourselves divided in so many ways. Listen in, and be challenged to live with integrity even when the world around you feels like it's falling apart.

In Part Two of this series Bill and Roger encourage you to respond to any "famine" in your life—discouragement, marriage, relationships, or business—by sowing God's Word into your spirit and focusing on what is good and true. Using Genesis 26, they highlight how Isaac stayed in the land during famine, obeyed God's direction, sowed anyway, and reaped a hundredfold, urging you to trust the Lord rather than your own understanding and to cooperate with the Holy Spirit. One speaker shares personal stories of financial strain, a mother's covenant support, obeying God to replant wheat, experiencing a breakthrough year, and receiving land opportunities, plus a word about his sons returning to farm. The episode closes with an invitation to partner with Bill and Roger Ministries through their website.   EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS:   00:00 Sow Into Discouragement 00:37 Show Intro 00:54 Debt and Banking Story 02:19 Mom's Covenant Faith 04:06 Isaac in the Famine 04:26 Hearing Holy Spirit 07:53 Stay Out of Egypt 08:45 Called to Farm 10:52 Replanting in Faith 12:21 Son Chooses Farming 14:33 Land Multiplies 16:03 Word Is Living 18:37 Sow and Reap 100 Fold 21:05 Press Through Famine 22:32 Temporary Things Change 23:25 Mission and Provision 25:03 Called to Persevere 26:08 Altar Call 26:12 Partner With Ministry 28:12 Closing and Resources   Connect with Bill & Roger Ministries: www.billandroger.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100064668460680

Pastor Brian continues Jacob's story, revealing how genuine repentance leads to a new identity—and how forgiveness frees us from the bitterness of the past.

The book of Ruth opens in the shadow of the book of Judges, a time when everything looked broken. Famine, loss, and a family far from home set the stage for a quieter kind of story, one where God is at work even when He isn't loudly announcing Himself.

https://wels2.blob.core.windows.net/tmb-ehv/03-0803db.mp3 Listen to Bible reading Through My Bible Yr 03 – August 03 Amos 8:4 – 9:15 Amos 8 Fraud and Hypocrisy on Holy Days 4 Listen to this, you who trample on the needy         to wipe out the oppressed from the land, 5 who say, “When will the New Moon be over so that we can sell grain?     When will the Sabbath end so that we can open the grain bins?     Then we will make the bushel [1] smaller and make the shekel weight heavier. [2]     We will cheat with dishonest scales. 6 We will buy the poor for silver     and the needy for a pair of sandals.     We will sell the chaff with the grain.” A Famine of the Lord's Word 7 The Lord swears by the Pride of Jacob,     “I will never forget any of their deeds!” 8 Because of this, the land will shake,     and everyone living in it will mourn.     The whole land will rise up like the Nile.     It will surge and sink down again like the Nile of Egypt. 9 Here is what will happen on that day, declares the Lord God:     I will make the sun set at noon,     and I will bring darkness on the earth when it should be light. 10 I will turn your festivals into mourning     and all of your songs into a lamentation.     I will put sackcloth on all your waists     and baldness on every head.     I will make that day like the mourning for an only son,     and it will end like a bitter day. 11 Look, the days are coming, declares the Lord God,     when I will send a famine into the land—     not a famine of bread     nor a thirst for water,     but rather a famine of hearing the words of the Lord. 12 People will stumble from sea to sea     and from north to east.     They will roam back and forth seeking the word of the Lord,     but they will not find it. 13 On that day the beautiful virgins will faint,     and the young men will grow weak from thirst. 14 Those who swear by the shameful guilt [3] of Samaria,     those who say, “As your god lives, Dan,”     or, “The way of Beersheba lives”—     they will fall, and they will never rise again. The Fifth Vision: The Lord Topples the Temple Amos 9 1 I saw the Lord standing by the altar, and he said:     Strike the capitals on top of the pillars so that the thresholds shake.     Cut them off so that they fall on the heads of all the people,     and those who survive I will kill with the sword.     No one who flees from there will get away,     and not a single fugitive from among them will escape. 2 Even if they dig down to hell, [4]     from there my hand will seize them.     And even if they ascend to heaven,     from there I will bring them down. 3 Even if they hide themselves on the top of Mount Carmel,     from there I will search for them, and I will seize them.     Even if they hide themselves from my sight at the bottom of the sea,     from there I will command the serpent, and it will bite them. 4 Even if they go into captivity in the presence of their enemies,     from there I will command the sword, and it will kill them.     And I will set my eye upon them for disaster and not for good. The Lord Shakes the Earth 5 The Lord God of Armies is the one who touches the earth, so that it melts.     All who dwell on it mourn.     All of it rises like the Nile,     and like the Nile of Egypt it sinks down again. 6 He is the one who builds his upper chambers in heaven.     He set the foundation for his vault upon the earth.     He is the one who summons the waters of the sea     and pours them out over the face of the earth—     the Lord is his name. The Final Judgment 7 Are you not like Cushites [5] to me, you children of Israel?     declares the Lord.     Did I not bring Israel up from the land of Egypt     and the Philistines from Caphtor [6]     and the Arameans from Kir? [7] 8 Look, the eyes of the Lord God are on the sinful kingdom,     and I will destroy it from the face of the earth.     But I will never completely destroy the house of Jacob,     declares the Lord. 9 Listen! I am giving a command,     and among all the nations I will shake the house of Israel         as the contents of a sieve are shaken,     and not even one pebble [8] will fall out to the ground. [9] 10 By a sword, all the sinners among my people will die,     those who are saying, “Disaster will not overtake us. It will not confront us.” The Restoration of David's Fallen Shelter 11 In that day I will raise up the fallen shelter of David. I will repair the broken parts of its walls, and I will raise up its ruins. I will rebuild it as in days of old, 12 so that they will possess what remains of Edom, that is, all the nations who are called by my name, declares the Lord, who is doing this. 13 Look, days are coming, declares the Lord, when the plowman will catch up with the reaper, and the one who tramples grapes will catch up with the one sowing the seed. The mountains will drip sweet wine, [10] and all the hills will wave with grain. [11] 14 I will restore the fortunes of my people Israel, and they will rebuild the desolate cities and dwell in them. They will plant vineyards and drink their wine, and they will make gardens and eat their fruit. 15 I will plant them in their soil, and they will never again be uprooted from the soil that I have given to them, says the Lord your God. Footnotes Amos 8:5 Literally the ephah Amos 8:5 Merchants cheated by measuring out the grain they were selling with an undersized bushel and weighing the silver they received with an overweight shekel. Amos 8:14 Possibly a distortion of the name of the goddess Ashima/Asherah Amos 9:2 Hebrew sheol Amos 9:7 Cushites are black Africans from south of Egypt, from the territory that today is Sudan. Amos 9:7 That is, Crete or some other location in the Mediterranean Amos 9:7 The location of Kir is unknown. It is probably far to the north. Amos 9:9 Or kernel of grain Amos 9:9 The people of Israel are being sorted through a sieve. It is not clear whether those kept in the sieve are the pebbles that cannot escape judgment or the grains that are being separated from the chaff, which will be burned. The judgment is the same in either case. Amos 9:13 Sweet wine refers to wine that is still sweet because it has not yet been soured by continued fermentation.

Isaac's story may seem quiet, but his faith carried a promise through generations. Pastor Brad challenges us to trust God's timing, stay planted through uncertainty, and dig our own wells of faith.

Welcome back to Circle Round Summer Camp! We're revisiting our favorite stories about the outdoors. Recorded live at Symphony Hall with Boston Symphony Orchestra musicians and a star-studded cast, this indigenous Pacific Northwest tale follows a wily coyote on a daring rescue.

In Part One of this series Bill and Roger teach that every born-again believer's shared purpose is to advance the Kingdom of God, while your destiny is your unique "thumbprint" for how you do it. They contrast the gospel's "good news" with belligerent, fear-based preaching, emphasizing that God's goodness leads people to repentance and that Jesus called you to make disciples, not just converts. Roger shares how God redirected him in 2010 when he was discouraged and felt like a pinball, revealing he was called to both farm/ranch and preach rather than copy someone else's mold. Using Genesis 26, he encourages you to seek a personal encounter with Holy Spirit, trust God in seasons of "famine," and follow His specific direction, sharing how that word brought breakthrough in his farming and confirmed his son's desire to farm.   EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS:   00:00 Purpose and Destiny 00:32 Gospel With Goodness 03:05 Hearing God Clearly 05:28 Word as Direction 08:02 Famine and Faith 09:23 Marriage Covenant Talk 11:58 Gods Word and Integrity 13:03 Banking Struggles and Perseverance 17:56 Holy Spirit Guidance 21:24 Stay in the Land 24:24 Surrender and Obedience 25:53 Son Chooses Farming 27:03 Ministry Wrap Up   Connect with Bill & Roger Ministries: www.billandroger.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100064668460680

Some time ago Elisa led us in conversations about "tables" and how certain mealtimes moved the story of the Bible forward. For these two weeks Bill wants the group to consider the opposite—how famines (or the lack of food) was a catalyst for biblical events and a force for change in the lives of the characters of the Scriptures.Receive As we ponder why God allowed His people throughout Scripture to experience famines, we can see that God was still working to draw them closer to Him. God is at work in our life as well. When we face hardships and difficulties in our life, let's remember that God is near.  How does reading about how God provided for men and women throughout the Bible help remind you that He is faithful to help you through any trial you may face?   What could drawing closer to God even during difficulties look like for you?   Reflect  Why did God allow someone as faithful as the prophet Elijah to suffer through a famine as we read in 1 Kings 18:2? During famines, how did God provide for Elijah in 1 Kings 17:7–11 and Elisha in  2 Kings 4:38– 41? Why did the four men with leprosy mentioned in 2 Kings 7:3–5 respond to the famine the way they did?  Why did Jesus mention a famine in His parable of the Prodigal Son found in Luke 15:14? Based on Romans 8:35, not even famine can separate us from God's love. How does knowing that truth encourage you during difficult times?  Respond (Use this prayer to start a conversation with God) “Dear God, thank You that You love me and provide for me even during the most difficult times. Please help me to draw closer to You, even when I'm experiencing a famine or lack in my life. Help me to trust Your unending goodness, grace, and mercy.”   Discover more about the topics in this episode with these recommended resources Mentioned in this episode: Joseph by Bill Crowder Tables in the Story of God Week 1 Tables in the Story of God Week 2 The Book of Naomi The Gospel of Ruth  Inseparable God Is At Work—The Story of Ruth Part 1—The Worst of Times  Listen:  The Miraculous life of Elisha | Part 1 The Miraculous Life of Elisha--Part 2 Read: Faithful to the Faithful: 2 Kings 4 Why Should I Trust God? Watch: Trusting God in the Dark with Katie Lewis (Unshakable Moxie) God Is at Work in All Things | Romans 8:28-29 

Legendary filmmaker Robert Greenwald joins Gaslit Nation to talk about his powerful documentary from Brave New Films, Gaza: Journalists Under Fire.

Some time ago Elisa led us in conversations about "tables" and how certain mealtimes moved the story of the Bible forward. For these two weeks Bill wants the group to consider the opposite—how famines (or the lack of food) was a catalyst for biblical events and a force for change in the lives of the characters of the Scriptures. Receive When we stop and consider that so many men and women in the Bible experienced various hardships, including famines, we see how God was still working in their lives to draw them closer to Him. From Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob and his family to Naomi and Ruth and King David, they all found themselves in challenging situations. Some of their circumstances may raise some difficult questions, but they also offer some helpful insights into what it means to be people of faith, who in spite of any questions, learn to trust God even in life's most difficult times.  How does reading about how God helped well-known Old Testament figures even during times of famines help you trust God despite your circumstances?  What could your next step toward trusting God during hard times look like?   Reflect  How might Abram's response to a famine in Genesis 12:10 have influenced how his son Isaac response to the famine in Genesis 26:1? How did the famine mentioned in Genesis 42:5 work out for good for Jacob and his family?  How did God give Naomi beauty for ashes after the famine mentioned in Ruth 1:1? Why did King David want to avoid the famine mentioned in 2 Samuel 24:13?  Respond (Use this prayer to start a conversation with God) “Dear God, thank You for being with me even in difficult times. Help me to trust You despite my circumstances. Help me to love and serve You whether I'm in a season of feast or famine.”   Discover more about the topics in this episode with these recommended resources Mentioned in this episode: Joseph by Bill Crowder Tables in the Story of God Week 1 Tables in the Story of God Week 2 The Book of Naomi The Gospel of Ruth Listen: Inseparable   God Is at Work      Read: It's Not Fair - Trusting God When Life Doesn't Make Sense Navigating the Wilderness Watch: Never Out of God's Sight - Genesis 41:1 Running on Empty - Ruth 1:21

Phytophthora Infestans: The Science of the Blight. Guest: Patrick Scanlan. The discussion turns to the biological cause of the famine: Phytophthora infestans, or the potato blight. Scanlan explains that Irish potatoes were grown from cuttings (clones), and this lack of genetic diversity made them uniquely vulnerable to pathogens. While Ireland had experienced localized crop failures before, the blight was a "novel pathogen" originating from Mexico. It traveled through the Americas before crossing the Atlantic to Europe in 1844–45. As a "water mold" that reproduces through spores, it spread rapidly on the wind across Ireland's dense monocrops. While the blight struck across Europe, the impact was most catastrophic in Ireland due to the population's profound dependence on the crop and a lack of alternative food sources. The organism encountered fields that had been separated from such pathogens for centuries, allowing it to sweep across every field it reached and destroy crops with unprecedented speed. 71873 QUEENSTOWN

The "Hungry Summer" and the Stench of Rot. Guest: Patrick Scanlan. Scanlan describes the unique horror of the blight's progression, noting that it struck potatoes both in the ground and in storage. Typically, the summer was the "hungry time" in Ireland as stocks ran low before the new harvest. However, P. infestans ensured that even harvested and stored potatoes rotted, removing any buffer for the starving peasantry. Witnesses described a distinctive, nauseating odor emanating from the blighted fields, which some likened to the smell of rotting human flesh. In previous crises, weather-related failures were often localized, but this epidemic was relentless and island-wide. The complete destruction of the staple crop meant that laborers who relied on potatoes for subsistence were left with absolutely nothing to eat or sell. This biological disaster, coupled with the existing economic fragility of the conacre system, turned a subsistence crisis into a total social calamity that the government was ill-prepared to handle. 81880 FAMINE
