Making your home stronger can protect your property and your family if a severe storm hits. What does “home hardening” mean? Home hardening makes your home stronger to withstand severe weather. This can help avoid costly insurance claims. Less costly claims can also mean lower insurance costs. What is the Insurance Institute for Business and Home Safety's role in home hardening? The Insurance Institute for Business and Home Safety (IBHS) is a nonprofit research center that analyzes how buildings perform in severe weather. The lab in Richburg, South Carolina can create full-sized houses and structures and put those through heaving winds, rainstorms, hailstorms, and wildfires. With 105 fans at 350 horsepower each, IBHS can create 130 mile per hour winds. That's equivalent to a Category 3 hurricane. What does IBHS look for with its created storms? IBHS can test an entire house as a system and look for weak links that can lead to cascading failures. It then develops protective strategies.  Does IBHS have a designation system for home hardening? Yes, it's called Fortified. New construction and remodeling projects can get ratings from Roof to Silver to Gold depending on the type of materials used and how they're used. For example, a house built to the Silver level will have metal braces on the roof to keep it from blowing off. Does IBHS help with wildfires? IBHS has a program called Wildfire Prepared that looks at mitigation strategies and creating defensible space. They suggest you keep a 0-to-5-foot zone around your house that is free of branches and other combustible materials. How can you show that you have a Fortified home? After the work is done, you get a certificate that is third-party verified. You can give this to your insurance agent. Some insurance companies offer discounts for home hardening. The extra cost of home hardening might save you money on home repairs and insurance. Are you prepared for a tornado? Here's how to protect your home. Are you ready for a disaster? Hurricane season: How to prepare your home and property

Show Notes – Fortified Life Podcast

In Genesis 29, we delve into the journey of Jacob, witnessing how God's promises protect and perfect His people. As we follow Jacob's 400-mile trek to Haran, we see divine intervention at every turn - from his safe arrival to the miraculous moving of an impossibly large stone. This story reminds us that when we step out in faith, God positions us to see opportunities where others see obstacles. The seemingly large challenges in our lives might just be God's way of thinning out the competition and preparing us for His greater purpose. As we navigate our own faith journeys, let's remember that God's promises empower us to move mountains that would otherwise be immovable.

"An Egyptian by birth, Abba Bessarion was initiated into the angelic life by Saint Anthony the Great. He later became a disciple of Saint Macarius, the founder of Scetis (19 Jan.), and then set out to lead the life of a wanderer, borne hither and thither by Providence like a bird by the wind. All his wealth lay in the Gospel, which he always had in his hand. Living in the open air, he patiently endured all weathers, untroubled by care for a dwelling or for clothing. Fortified by the strength of the faith, he thus remained untouched by all the passions of the flesh.   "On coming to a monastery where the brethren led the common life, he would sit weeping at the gate. A brother once offered him hospitality and asked why he was distressed. 'I cannot live under a roof, until I have regained the wealth of my house,' he replied, meaning the heavenly inheritance lost since Adam. 'I am afflicted, in danger of death every day, and without rest because of my huge misfortunes, which oblige me ever to travel on in order to finish my course.'   "He wandered for forty years without ever lying down to sleep, and he spent all of forty days and forty nights standing wide awake in a thorn bush. One winter's day, he was walking through a village when he came upon a dead man. Without hesitation, he took off his own coat and covered the body. A little further on, he gave his tunic to a poor man who was shivering in the cold. An army officer, who happened to be passing, saw the naked ascetic and wanted to know who had stripped him of his clothing. 'He did!' replied Bessarion, holding up the Gospel Book. On another occasion, he met with a poor man and, having nothing to give him in alms, he hurried to the market in order to sell his Gospel Book. On his disciple's asking him where the Book was, he replied cheerfully, 'I have sold it in obedience to the words which I never cease to hear: Go, sell what you possess and give to the poor' (Matt. 19:21).   "Through this evangelic way of life he became a chosen vessel of Grace, and God wrought many miracles through him. One day, for example, he made sea water sweet through the sign of the Cross, to quench his disciple's thirst. When the latter wanted to keep some for the remainder of the journey, he prevented him, saying, 'God is here, God is everywhere!' At another time, having stood for two weeks in prayer with hands raised to heaven, he brought about rain enough to fill a thirsty brother's coat. Then there was the time when he stopped the sun from setting until he reached the cell of an elder whom he wished to meet; and the time when he walked across the waters of a river. Through these and many other wonders wrought by the Saint, God showed, as He did with Moses, Joshua and Elias, that He grants His servants mastery even over natural phenomena. Through the power of Christ, he raised a paralytic, drove out demons and showed himself truly to be a 'god' upon the earth.   "When, having reached his goal, he was at the point of regaining that dwelling in heaven which he had sought throughout his wanderings, he said to those about him, 'The monk ought, like the cherubim, to be all eye.'   "In answer to a brother who asked what a monk living in community ought to do, he replied: 'Keep silence and do not measure yourself.' Indeed, this is how even in the midst of people one can obtain the grace of the great anchorites." (Synaxarion)

The holiday season is supposed to be a time of celebration and rest. But for those who have a narcissist in their lives it can be a particularly difficult time of the year. On In The Market with Janet Parshall this week we once again turned to one of our favorite therapist who answered more of our listeners questions about this deadly personality type and how to deal with it at this particular time of the year. For those who lived through the World Wars and the Cold War the idea that America, the bastion of freedom could turn toward the acceptance of Marxism as a viable social system, would be unthinkable. But our guest explained the long-laid plans to undermine democracy in America and Europe and how our schools of higher education played a decisive role in this change. Our guest explained what exactly Marxism is and is not, the role of the oppressed and the oppressor and what the true antidote to Marxist acceptance truly is. Iran continues to make news as the war in the Middle East rages on. We spoke to that man God has led to be His voice to that nation about the increased acceptance of the gospel message by the people of Iran and what the government of that country is blaming the recent uprising in Syria on Israel & the United States. We gave you the rare opportunity to hear about the importance of the Dead Sea Scrolls from is responsible for their current public display in the nation’s capital. Then we cleared away all the rhetoric of that we are hearing daily about the vital need to accept renewable energy over traditional forms to reveal the hidden truths behind this push and why acceptance of this push will eventually fail. Once again, we invite you to draw close to your radio as our favorite husband and wife team continue their weekly classes teaching us all how to live our lives examining all the claims we hear in the daily marketplace of ideas under the magnifying glass of God’s holy word.Become a Parshall Partner: http://moodyradio.org/donateto/inthemarket/partnersSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Numbers 13:25-28aAt the end of forty days they returned from spying out the land. 26 And they came to Moses and Aaron and to all the congregation of the people of Israel in the wilderness of Paran, at Kadesh. They brought back word to them and to all the congregation, and showed them the fruit of the land. 27 And they told him, “We came to the land to which you sent us. It flows with milk and honey, and this is its fruit. 28 HOWEVER, Numbers 13:28HOWEVER, the PEOPLE who dwell in the land are STRONG, and the CITIES are FORTIFIED and VERY LARGE.
