How far away is the sun? English astronomer Edmond Halley suggested that tracking the transit of Venus across the sun would be the key to finding the answer. This set in motion a huge international collaborative scientific endeavour and one of the most comically cursed voyages, by the magnificently named Frenchman, Guillaume Joseph Hyacinthe Jean-Baptiste Le Gentil de la Galaisière!This is a comedy/history podcast, the report begins at approximately 05:25 (though as always, we go off on tangents throughout the report).For all our important links: https://linktr.ee/dogoonpod Check out our other podcasts:Book Cheat: https://play.acast.com/s/book-cheatPrime Mates: https://play.acast.com/s/prime-mates/Listen Now: https://play.acast.com/s/listen-now/Who Knew It with Matt Stewart: https://play.acast.com/s/who-knew-it-with-matt-stewart/Jess Writes A Rom-Com: https://shows.acast.com/jess-writes-a-rom-comOur awesome theme song by Evan Munro-Smith and logo by Peader ThomasDo Go On acknowledges the traditional owners of the land we record on, the Wurundjeri people, in the Kulin nation.

Lt Gen (Ret.) Steven L. Kwast welcomes Jonathan Drake back to ask the question Kepler and Maxwell never thought was strange: what are the heavens declaring? Spoiler. They are declaring the glory of God, in patterns precise enough to govern physics and beautiful enough to fold into a sunflower. Drake walks through his essay calling the ether the fingerprint of God, the toroidal Fibonacci pattern that shows up in magnetic fields, weather systems, and watersheds. The thread that pulls it all together is grounding. Source, radiation, return. Father, Son, Holy Spirit. Lover, beloved, and the love between them. Why does water flow downhill, why does lightning fork, why do circuits need a ground? Because the Trinity itself grounds back to itself in perfect relationship. From there it gets wild and useful. Sin as short circuiting. Counter space and the dielectric as the missing language of physics. Tesla claiming no distance exists in the medium. Kwast's AI trained only on God's physics rather than human bullshit, and what that means for spotting lies in real time. They close with reading lists for the brave and Lord Kelvin's wager that science honestly pursued leads straight to God.

#427 In this podcast episode, Guy talked with water researcher Veda Austin about her radical perspective that water is not just H₂O but a form of consciousness, light, and living intelligence. She shared how a horrific car accident and a series of medical crises led her to a healing journey with naturally alkaline water, which she credited with extraordinary recoveries, including 27 shards of glass surfacing from her body after 20 years.  Veda explained her crystallography work, describing how water responds to words, emotions, and loving intention by changing its structure, and how she has used simple "word" experiments to support healing. They explored the idea that consciousness may live in the body's fluids rather than the brain, citing cases of people thriving with almost no brain tissue and the role of cerebrospinal fluid. The conversation closed with Veda offering practical wisdom about receiving water with gratitude, treating it as a divine mirror, and recognizing the power each of us holds to shape our own wellbeing. About Veda: Veda Austin is a water researcher, public speaker, mother, artist  and author. She has dedicated the last 14 years observing and photographing the life of water. She believes that water is fluid intelligence, observing itself through every living organism on the planet and in the Universe. Her primary area of focus is photographing water in its 'state of creation', the space between liquid and ice. It is through her remarkable crystallographic photos that water reveals its awareness of not only Creation, but thought and intention through imagery. ​​​ Veda brings a message of hope and joy from the very source of life itself, she says "Water is transparent, it knows no colour, creed or religion. Water does not judge, nor does it label, it will enter the body of an ant as easily as it will enter the body of a king, or a homeless person or a tree or a dragonfly. Water is our constant companion, from the moment we are conceived it is always with us...even upon death, it is water that evaporates from the physical rising upwards into the Heavens.

Send us Fan MailWhy Ethiopia's Kings Could Move Their Entire Capital in Days (Podcast)The Enigmatic Monarchy of Medieval Ethiopia | King Cam's Ujumbe PodcastStep back into the medieval highlands of Ethiopia—a world of moving capitals, powerful monarchs, complex royal succession, vibrant trade routes, and spiritual authority that shaped the Horn of Africa for centuries.

This sermon focused on the dramatic spiritual decline in America following the Revolutionary War and the remarkable revival that followed, known as the Second Great Awakening. One concept discussed was how religious devotion can ebb and flow in a nation's history, with the late 1700s being marked by dwindling church attendance, rising immorality, and skepticism toward faith. The discussion explored the roots of this decline, including economic hardship, Enlightenment influence, and a lack of authentic faith among church leaders. A key theme that emerged was the powerful role of united and persistent prayer. The conversation highlighted how Christians across denominations set aside regular times for collective prayer, inspired by 2 Chronicles 7:14. The story of James McGreedy illustrated how dedicated prayer, even in spiritually dark places like Logan County, Kentucky, eventually sparked widespread revival—bringing thousands together, cutting across racial and denominational lines, and leading to genuine repentance and societal transformation. The sermon concluded by turning to Isaiah 64, emphasizing that barriers such as sin, self-righteousness, and complacency must be confronted for God's renewing work to take place. Revival, the message affirmed, begins with a desperate thirst for God among a committed remnant—reminding listeners to humble themselves, seek God's presence, and remain open to His transforming power.

Scripture read on Audio: Matthew 28:16-20 Sermons also available free on iTunes Stained Glass Symbol of the Trinity at St. Peter’s Episcopal Church, Carson City, Nevada. photo by J. Christy Ramsey Hey, it’s Trinity Sunday. Thanks for coming out of your family events and gatherings and celebrations. I’m glad you’re all in your Trinity finest gear. That’s wonderful. Great, great. It’s a really bad Sunday to preach, on Trinity Sunday. There’s nothing. There’s nothing there. I don’t blame Donna for leaving the state. I mean, I’d get far away from the pulpit, too, if I could. Trinity Sunday is about as exciting as looking at your phone and say, “Spam likely.” That guy again. They’re always calling. Or, you know, worse is, “This is your insurance company. We’d like to talk to you about some explanation of your benefits.” Oh. That’s right up there with Trinity Sunday preacher, I’ll tell you. Hey, I bet you didn’t know something. Trinity Sunday is with us every Sunday. I bet you didn’t know this. I bet up here, you know, way before we had these screens – whoo, nifty neat-o, we had screens in church for centuries. We just called it “stained glass.” So I just wanted people saying, oh, I don’t like this new stuff, hey, stained glass has been around for centuries. I don’t know what you’re talking about. So up here – I don’t know if I’m allowed up here, I’m destroying things – I don’t know if you can see it. This is actually a symbol of the Trinity. Everything’s clear now; isn’t it. No, it’s not. But here they’ve got God in the middle. Come up later, if you’re allowed. I don’t know if you’re allowed. But come up later. Árni Dagur, CC0, via Wikimedia Commons They’ve got a dais in the middle, God. And then they’ve got Holy Spirit here, Father up there, Son up there, Father over there on the three. And then they’ve got little connection things. Spirit is not the Father, Father is not the Son, Son is not the Spirit. And then they all go to the middle, they’re all “Is God, Is God, Is God.” Okay. We can pack it up. We’re done. Everybody understands the Trinity now. That’s great. Super. Don’t be telling people you’ve got a fidget spinner in stained glass at your church. I mean, well, unless you want to. People think, oh, that’s pretty cool. I think I’m coming, yeah. Not a fidget spinner. All right. Way back in the 5th Century, there was a guy, his name was Augustine of Hippo. I don’t know. I don’t know, you know, if he was a portly man. But they called him Hippo. I think that’s where he lived. Unfortunate if he was portly. That would have been bad. He said this: “Si comprehendis, non est Deus.” And what that is translated from the Latin is, If you think you understand God, what you understand is not God. - Augustine of Hippo Well, that’s helpful, Augustine. He’s saying if you understand something, then you don’t understand it. The parts you understand about God is not something you understand. The difference between stupid and intelligent people — and this is true whether or not they are well-educated — is that intelligent people can handle subtlety. They are not baffled by ambiguous or even contradictory situations — in fact, they expect them and are apt to become suspicious when things seem overly straightforward. - Neal Stephenson, The Diamond Age: Or, a Young Lady’s Illustrated Primer (1995). And we have a quote up here from a more recent philosopher. Good old Neal Stephenson, author of “Snow Crash,” any classic science fiction – no, nothing. Oh. No, you’re just scratching. Okay. The difference between stupid and intelligent people, and this is true whether or not they are well educated, is that intelligent people can handle subtle – Bill, what’s that word? BILL: Subtlety. PASTOR RAMSEY: Subtlety. Thank you, Bill. That’s why I brought him in here, roped him up to give me that word. Thank you. Subtlety. And they are not baffled by ambiguous or even contradictory situations. Whoo. In fact, they expect them. And they’re apt to become suspicious when things seem overly straightforward. Yeah. Intelligent people are not baffled by ambiguous or even contradictory situations. In fact, they expect them. And they’re suspicious if things are too simple. You’re all intelligent people now; right? Okay. Because you all heard Trinity stuff, oh, the shamrock thing. Who’s heard of the sham – don’t put your hands up. Who’s heard this? Because that’s a heresy. I don’t want you to put your hands up, then let it go, ooh. Not TrinityShamrock, you know, the three in the Trinity, one plant, three things. Sometimes even I said this, and I was wrong, that’s modality, that’s a heresy. This is, like, should be called Heresy Sunday because it’s so easy to slip in heresy when you’re trying to talk about the Trinity. When you’re talking about, you know, oh, it’s like steam and liquid water and ice, you know. No, it’s not. It’s modality. And it’s not even Father, Son, Holy Spirit, you know. As much as Presbyterians love committees, love them, God is not a committee. It’s not like they vote and come together, two out of three goes, you know, none of that. It’s not like, you know, like loving, loved, and beloved, or all these other things that people try to make into some kind of social community rolling around kind of thing inside a God, and that’s Trinity. Just about anything – just like our friend Augustine found out. You know, every time you try to describe a Trinity, you’re probably not describing the Trinity. You’re not describing God. If you think you understand it, you got it wrong. What are we to do? What are we to do? Well, we’re intelligent people. We can handle things that are contradictory or complex or not clear or not simply explained. We can handle that. I mean, you know, they just don’t let anybody in the Episcopal Church; right? There is a little test you’ve got to do before you get in; right? I’m sure there is. They haven’t caught me yet. Ha. It’s like when I go to Trader Joe’s. Does anybody go to Trader Joe’s? I go in there. I am not good-looking enough to be at Trader Joe’s up there in [totsy?] land. They’re going to kick me out because I go, wow, what are these people? Wow. Everybody comes down from Tahoe, and they’re nice? But we can handle it. And we’ve got stories here. We’ve got scriptures here that tell us about complexity. And you can come to these scriptures and be confused. You can come to the Trinity and be confused. And what confused? Well, I don’t understand it, and I should. It’s not good for me. I’m upset. Well, then you’re not intelligent. Here’s a thought. Instead of being confused, be in awe. Instead of being upset you don’t understand something, be in wonder of the glory of God. Because you look at the creation story, and was that a big creation story? You know, I was talking to – that’s a lot of scripture. You know, that’s a big hunk there. And, well, you know, he created the entire universe, you know, give him a chapter. You know, come on. So you look at that, and we’re so familiar with it that we just blow it on by; you know? The first creation story, you know, there’s a – every now and then, God created the Heavens and the Earth, and it was so. You know, that “and” is doing a heck of a lot of work. You look all the way through it, he says something, and it was so. Says something, and God said it was good. Said something, and God said it was good. You know, that “and” is like a billion years of time and space in that “and.” I mean, we’re just skipping over a whole lot of stuff that we would like to understand in that “and.” I’m telling you, all of our scientific endeavor is trying to figure out that “and” bit, between God says it’s going to happen and then he said it was good. We want to know between the “and.” We don’t have to. We don’t have to be confused by complications. And that’s why we had the whole big, you know, some people say, well, you have the Trinity in there because, you know, in the story of Genesis, God is referred to as “we,” in the plural. So that’s the Trinity there. Okay, that’s kind of a reach. I mean, you know, when the King of England or Queen of England says “We are not amused,” they’re not talking that they’re the Trinity, you know, there’s a “royal we” kind of thing. But I like to think they picked that out, the little lectionary elves picked that up because here’s another thing we don’t understand. You’ve got the Trinity. Everybody’s confused. Let’s throw in the creation story, too, just so long as we’re doing a confusion Sunday. But it doesn’t have to be confusion. It could be wonder. Saying, look at all those wonderful things God’s done. You know, God just didn’t do it. I think it’s very important in our times. God said it was good. So when people tell you other people are bad or these people aren’t good enough or these people are below us or beneath us or don’t have the right to be here, or don’t have the right to exist, or should pull themselves up by their own – remember what God said. God said it was good. It was good. People are good. God doesn’t make trash is what they used to say. But not only that, God makes people good. That’s complex. That’s wondering. That’s confusing. We want to understand it, want to dissect it, want to have the PowerPoints. But nope. Just got to go with God is good. God made the world good. God made people good. So if something’s bad in the world, guess what? Guess whose that is? That’s us. Enough of that. Let’s go on to the psalm. Psalm’s great; isn’t it? Psalms? Psalm is great for wonder. Because, you know, you go out there, and you don’t hear the quantum mechanics and the astrophysics of how all the stars are made and move and go and come and red shift and dopplers and all this other stuff. Psalm just goes out there and says, why is God caring about me? In all this, God cares about us. In its infinite vastness of the universe, God cares about us. That’s wonder. Not confusion. It’s living in the joy and in the wonder. It’s a wonderful time. Not a confusing time. I’m angry because God didn’t check it out with me before God went on and did God things. God did explain everything to God. And that goes right on. We’re running now. Keep up with me. That goes right on to the epistle where Paul says – gives it grace, and says, “Grace of the father,” and “Grace of the Lord Jesus Christ,” the love and fellowship. And you say, how do we get together on that? Does one come, and then they do like a costume change or put on a different mask or get on a collar? Instead of an open-collar shift they put on a collar with a thing. And then they come out and do the other thing, but it’s the same person. You know, Christy’s sitting in the pew saying Christy up in the collar. No, that’s all heresy. You’ve got to approach that with wonder and say, wow. Look at all that. The love, the grace, the fellowship. It’s all there. I don’t know how it all works, but I’m sure glad it does. Kind of like the way I treat my car. I don’t know how it works. I’m sure glad it moves and goes places. And then the last one, the gospel. In the gospel, don’t you love the disciples? You’ve got to really look at the disciples because they’re a bunch of bumbling fools; you know? And I feel better about myself the more I read about the disciples because I said, if those guys can make it, I’ve got a shot; you know. I’ve got at least a shot. Because they’re in there, you know, here they are, they’re in the end of the ministry, been hanging out with Jesus. I mean, you and me think, oh, if we had met Jesus, we would be onboard. We would be 100% Jesus; you know? But, you know, the disciples, they were there the whole time. And they said, hey, we’re worshiping him. But some doubted. I go, what’s with these guys? You know? And I said, “I feel better about myself because sometimes, you know, maybe I have a doubt or two; you know? Things happen.” But it wasn’t like, okay, Jesus didn’t say, oh, let me explain it all to you and answer all your doubts. We’ll have a town hall. You can all yell at me about how you’re upset about the way I’m running the church, and I’ll explain it to you. We’ll all come into a wonderful happy agreement, and I’ll tell you all the things. No, he said, he knows he had doubt. He says, “Go therefore and go out and do good things. Go out there and make disciples of all the nations. Tell everybody to love one another. Tell them to love their enemies. Tell them to love the stranger.” Oh, no, you’re getting political. “Tell them to love the stranger. Tell them to love the soldier in your land. Tell them that God loves everyone. Tell them that God made everything good. Even countries that aren’t ours are still good.” [Gasp] Political again. He didn’t wait. He didn’t explain it. He didn’t give them the why. He didn’t answer their doubts. He just took them. He just expected them. Show up, doubts and all. Come on in. Come as you are. And these people were disciples. I mean, you know, they’ve got logos and stained glass and people praying to them and stuff. Still doubts. There’s hope for us. We don’t have to be sure and understand everything and remember our good old friend, Fat Man Augustine, that says, “If you think you understand, you don’t understand.” Huh. Huh. I feel better about that. And remember about our favorite science fiction with Neal there, Stephenson, said, “We like to think of ourselves as intelligent people. We don’t expect to understand stuff. We’re okay if things are contradictory.” You know a contradictory thing is, it’s when a teenager – anyone had experience with teenagers? Been a teenager? I was talking to someone, there’s a church that’s misbehaving. They called me in. Ah, there’s a wonder. I’ve got to tell you. Saying come in. And he said, “What are we going to do about this person?” And I go, well, you know, they’re doing everything we asked. Everything we told them to do, they’re doing. They’re just yelling and screaming about it and writing letters about how horrible it is. And that’s kind of like the teenager that you tell them to go up to their room, and they’re going up to their room yelling and screaming at you the whole way. You know? “Why is it so unfair?” They’re going to their room, you know, so you they’re kind of sort of getting it. You know, moving toward obedience, even though they’re yelling about it. And we can handle that as intelligent people. As adult people we can say, “Yeah, that’s kind of messed up, mixed up, crazy there. But, yeah, pretty good mostly. We’re all right. We can handle the creation story.” How did all that happen in one day? That “and” thing is just really blowing my mind between the I’m going to do this, now it’s done. Wait a minute. What’s the middle? We’re okay with that. Mostly. We’re okay with I have some doubts and don’t know everything. Well, that’s okay, go out and tell everybody to love everybody, and that God loves them. Even with the doubts? Yeah, even with the doubts. Do ahead and do that. We so much want to understand stuff. It’s why we keep making heresies out of the Trinity because we try to understand it, we can’t understand it because it’s the basis of God, and we get all upset and try to make it simple. Try to make it into a shamrock, or try to make it into a, you know, the ice cube tray in the refrigerator, you know, the automatic ice cube stuff. How does that work? It’s not what we should do. We’re not supposed to understand it, and that is kind of a little scary for people that aren’t intelligent. I’m complimenting you here now. I’m believing you’re all intelligent people, and you expect to not know everything and be okay with that and be in wonder. Well, how does that work out in a romcom from the 1990s, Christy? I know that is a question everybody asks. Everybody asks. Sure, he’s a good preacher, but what about a romcom from the ‘90s? I need that romcom. I want you to take a look at “Groundhog Day.” This is Rita. Rita is going somewhere between confusion and wonder here. She has questions of she thought she knew this guy, Bill Murray, who’s playing Phil Connors. Thought she knew this guy. And then things happen. And then she has a choice about whether she’s going to get the long or short version of what everything is. Or whether she’s going to commit herself and all that she has to the wonder that is Phil Connors. Rita didn’t need all her questions answered, either the short or the long version, to commit $339.88, her total net worth, I imagine, to be into the wonder of Phil Connors. We do not need the long or short version of the Trinity to know when something good has been created, and that we are invited into relationship with. Take that as your Trinity Sunday sermon. Amen.

Ever feel like quitting when prayers seem unanswered? Pastor Ron unpacks Jesus' parable about a persistent widow who refused to give up—and how her relentless faith changed everything. Discover why delay doesn't mean God's ignoring you, but preparing something powerful. The widow had no power, influence, or leverage—just persistence. And that's exactly what moved an unjust judge to action. How much more will our loving Father respond to our faithful prayers? One takeaway: Start each morning acknowledging God's presence before grabbing your phone. Make prayer your first conversation, not your last resort.

War in the Heavens

Liturgy Sermon @ St. Arsanius Coptic Orthodox Church - Maadi, Egypt ~ May 21, 2026

The Roundtable gathers to discuss the key story moments of Final Fantasy XIV Patch 7.5 Trail to the Heavens. From the Alliance Raid to Evercold Trailer, to the big story reveals, nothing is save, so Spoiler Warning. Jesse Cox and Preach are summoned and give their hopes, dreams and expectations for the upcoming journey based on all the juicy details. Did we get a peak at Evolved Combat? What nuggets were hidden in old Dawntrail Interviews? Online stories help us gleam the future? Supportourbromance.com so we can make MORE ROUNDTABLES! EACH ROUNDER THAN THE LAST!

Tune in as we say happy birthday to Final Fantasy XI and talk about our initial impressions with Final Fantasy XIV's Patch 7.5 Trail to the Heavens with guest Xyros!

The ascension of Jesus is one of Christianity's most overlooked doctrines — we confess it every week in the creeds, but rarely stop to ask what it actually means for us today. In this sermon from Luke 24:44–53 and Hebrews 4:14–5:10, Pastor Mark explores why the disciples responded to Christ's departure with great joy, and what it means that Jesus ascended not simply to wait, but to reign as King and intercede as our great High Priest. If you've ever wondered whether your prayers are truly heard, or felt the weight of a world that seems out of control, the doctrine of the ascension speaks directly to you.

The sermon emphasizes the neglected yet essential doctrine of Christ's ascension, presenting it not as a mere historical event but as the climactic fulfillment of redemption that enables the ongoing work of the Church. Drawing from Ephesians 4:7–10, it teaches that Christ's ascension is the foundation for the distribution of spiritual gifts, the liberation of believers from sin and death, and the filling of the Church with His fullness. The passage reveals that Christ's victory over evil, His descent into the depths of the earth, and His exaltation above all heavens demonstrate the completeness of His redemptive work, securing access to God, the indwelling of the Holy Spirit, and the hope of future glorification. Far from being a forgotten or embarrassing doctrine, the ascension is portrayed as the source of Christian confidence, service, and mission, calling believers to live in the power of an ascended Lord who continues to equip, intercede, and fill His body with divine fullness.

Aliens, UFOs, UAPs, secret pastor meetings, and the Bible. Would the discovery of extraterrestrial life cause Christians to reject Scripture? Pastor Cole Phillips and Pastor Bobby Fraumann talk about recent UAP disclosures, why Christians should avoid panic and conspiracy-driven theology, how the Bible speaks about creation and spiritual beings, and why Jesus remains supreme over all creation.Christian faith isn't fragile. Unidentified does not automatically mean alien. And no discovery can dethrone Christ.KeywordsAliens, UFOs, UAPs, unidentified anomalous phenomena, Christian faith, Bible and aliens, science and faith, creation, intelligent designChapter Titles00:00 | Welcome to the Connect Podcast Cole introduces the episode and explains why Christians should not run from hard questions.03:40 | Ancient Aliens and The Twilight Zone Bobby brings up Ancient Aliens, and Cole shares his favorite Twilight Zone episode, “To Serve Man.”06:30 | UFOs, UAPs, and Recent Government Files The conversation turns to the May 8, 2026 UAP document release and why Christians should be careful with the difference between “unidentified” and “alien.”09:45 | Secret Pastor Meetings and Wild Claims Cole and Bobby discuss recent claims about private meetings, alleged government briefings, reptilian beings, end-times deception, and the danger of building theology on rumors.15:45 | Discernment Over Panic Bobby emphasizes discernment, wisdom, and the need for Christian leaders to be careful with public claims.19:20 | Our Faith Is Not Built on Secret Information Cole reminds listeners that Christian faith is built on Jesus Christ, not leaked intelligence, viral clips, or secret meetings.21:10 | Would Aliens Cause Us to Reject the Bible?

Step into the light of your own sovereignty and the authority of compassion. This guided Reiki journey helps you align your five minds—the Divine, Human, Heart, Gut, and Earth minds, to release old burdens and anchor a frequency of profound inner peace within the Circle of Life. Key Insights The Five Minds Alignment: When we align the Divine, Human, Heart, Gut, and Earth minds. This integration allows for "conscious choice" and a clear connection to your authentic intellect and intuition. The Authority of Compassion: Compassion is an active, spiritual authority. In this journey, it is used to envelop and dissolve old patterns, cords, and injuries to the spirit, allowing long-held burdens to be lifted and healed. Belonging in the Circle of Life: We often feel separate from our spiritual nature, but your human spirit and divine spirit are one nature. By connecting with the "Divine Animal Kingdom," we remember that we belong in our bodies and on this Earth. Peace Within Duality: While we live in a "realm of duality," the spark of creation within your soul remains untouched. Accessing this inner peace allows you to walk through daily life with clarity and the stability like the Tree of Life. People Also Ask (FAQ) What is "Inner Sovereignty" in Reiki? Inner sovereignty is the awakening of your own inner authority and truth. It is the state of being aligned with your soul's knowledge, allowing you to make decisions from a place of wholeness rather than being influenced by external attachments or old beliefs. How does Reiki help release "cords and attachments"? Reiki flows around energetic connectors to old patterns or limitations. This higher frequency gently lifts these burdens, carrying them into the light to be healed and released. Why is "Receiving" emphasized in this journey? Many people are conditioned to give but struggle to receive. This journey focuses on opening the heart to receive the wisdom of the Earth and Heavens, which helps to replenish the spirit and maintain balance..

Christopher Mack explores how Stephen's life of re-telling God's Story stripped from our lens of the myth of redemptive violence allows us to behold Divine Love and resist the real world oppression of death-dealing forces and their stories. [Acts 7:54-60]   Reflection Questions:Glimpsing the Heavens, Resisting on Earth What's a realistic way for you to practice the presence of God this week? How do you respond to the invitation to love ourselves and others, by practicing self-reflection, self-control, self-development, self-care, and self-giving rather than self-indulgence? Where in your life have you been tempted to imitate the violence of someone who has wronged you, rather than imitate and reflect God's generative Love? Resources Raising Abel: The Recovery of the Eschatological Imagination by James Alison  Time on Two Crosses: The Collected Writings of Bayard Rustin Edited by Bayard Rustin

The kingdom of heaven does not operate on the same principles as our earthly kingdoms. There is a higher calling to experience a higher power. Heavens laws came down to man on Mt Sinai. Heavens power came down on the day of Pentecost when 120 disciples were in an upper room. God wants you to experience His kingdom here on earth.

Buy the book at https://ko-fi.com/s/1626376343 The gods have abandoned the universe. Only the armies of heaven stand between freedom and annihilation — and something ancient is moving the pieces. In the vast celestial empire of Indra, three warrior companions carry the weight of an unravelling world. Tejas — a Gandharva Major whose faith has curdled into fury, haunted by a guilt he cannot name and a past he cannot outrun. Shreya — an Apsara Captain who has clawed every inch of her rank from a command structure determined to keep her beneath it, fighting a war on two fronts — against her enemies, and against her own army's prejudice. Balveer — a Yaksha warrior of devastating strength, carrying a grief decades old and a debt of vengeance that no amnesty has settled. Against them: the fanatical Danava hordes of the dark wizard Chatur Jagan, the genocidal ambitions of the Asura emperor Ahiravan, and something far older and far worse than either — a being that predates the gods themselves, who has been watching, waiting, and arranging every conflict like moves on a board only it can see. Dev/Asur — War of the Heavens is an epic military fantasy rooted in the mythology of ancient India — a world of divine weapons, celestial politics, demonic armies, and soldiers who are heartbreakingly, defiantly human. Perfect for fans of Steven Erikson's Malazan Book of the Fallen — with its vast cosmology, brutal warfare, and soldiers who matter as much as gods. Readers of Conn Iggulden's battlefield intensity and Brandon Sanderson's intricate mythological world-building will find themselves immediately at home. This is Indian mythology reimagined as military epic. Gods who fail their people. Empires built on the bodies of the loyal. A conspiracy that spans dimensions. And three soldiers who refused to stop fighting even when the heavens went silent. The great game has begun. The gods are not coming. The stormfront is.

Check out the clumsy Photoshop composition I made of a master's work featured in another master's work.And next I will impart to you a moral principle from childhood I subscribe to… “Do unto others.” Which was said by—Heavens, I just had an intrusive memory that is quasi related to the opening sequences of movies. Bluh. So when I was graduating from college I had “like totally mastered” Avid Media Composer. I was using the 90s-era titling tool in AMC to make rudimentary cartoons and was convinced I was the ****.So when I started applying to jobs, I was applying to the big guys, and to stand out I was trying to be super creative. So when I sent a 30-minute-long collection of my Avid Media Composer title-tool cartoons on VHS to Imaginary Forces—THE Imaginary Forces, the folks that pre-horrified the movie Se7en. They pre-excitemented the Raiden Metal Gear. And later did movie logo opens for Marvel and DC Comics… And I just packaged up a resume and demo tape and sent it addressed to one of the top people. And to extra stand out: I printed personalized notes about my short history on fortune-cookie-sized paper and stuffed them into an envelope to bursting. I think I used four different fonts on that resume… Ooph if someone opened that demo envelope, it probably made a mess.

“We are now approaching lunar sunrise, and for all the people back on Earth, the crew of Apollo 8 has a message that we would like to send to you. “‘In the beginning, God created the Heaven and the Earth. And the Earth was without form and void, and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters, and God said, “Let there be light.” And there was light. And God saw the light, that it was good, and God divided the light from the darkness.'” Episode sponsors The Star-Blessed by Angie Dickinson Realm Makers 2026 Conference & Expo Land of Giants by Laurie Christine Wisdom and Wonder Conference & Expo Mission update New at Lorehaven: new reviews, upcoming super search Subscribe free to get updates and join the Lorehaven Guild Plus the Lorehaven Authorship to help terraform Christian fantasy Stephen heads to Houston to hype space missions April 25 at Houston Christian University's Wisdom & Wonder Conference The crew of Apollo 8 in 1968 (NASA) 1. Past astronauts paid tribute to Christianity Dec. 24, 1968: Apollo 8's crew was the very first to orbit the Moon. These astronauts were Bill Anders, Jim Lovell, and Frank Borman. And they read from Gen. 1:1-10 (in the King James Version). But the Judeo-Christian roots of NASA go even deeper. General ideas: this is a generation still shaped by World War II. Some call this “positive world,” when churches/faith were in vogue. So was the actual gospel, co-mingled with “cultural Christianity.” Rocket engineer Wernher von Braun was one confessing Christian. These men did not just affirm Jesus as Savior but God as Creator. “And God said, ‘Let the waters under the Heavens be gathered together into one place. And let the dry land appear.' And it was so. And God called the dry land Earth. And the gathering together of the waters called he seas. And God saw that it was good.” And from the crew of Apollo 8, we close with good night, good luck, a Merry Christmas and God bless all of you—all of you on the good Earth. Apollo 8 Commander Frank Borman, Dec. 24, 1968 Many early astronauts publicly acknowledged Christ or religion. Among these were Captain Jim Lovell and Col. Buzz Aldrin. Aldrin, a Presbyterian, took a secret Communion on the Moon. During a pre-splashdown broadcast, he also read Psalm 8:3-4: “When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou has ordained; What is man that thou art mindful of him? And the Son of Man, that thou visitest him?” According to a 2019 Catholic Sun article: It turns out Aldrin's religious faith is not an anomaly. In fact, the 29 astronauts who visited the moon during the Apollo program were a generally religious cohort. According to NASA, 23 were Protestant and six Catholic, with a high proportion of them serving as church leaders in their congregations. The astronauts didn't talk publicly about their faith very much, but that's largely because NASA started clamping down on public expressions of faith after the famous Christmas Eve Bible reading of Apollo 8, the first manned mission to the moon. So we can't ignore these 1960s-era acts of culture war. People didn't just get bored or naturally tired of public faith. They got intimidated and silenced by angry atheistic activism. Not the same as “classic humanism” mixed into scienctific pursuits. That often has Christian-based virtue, just without God or Christ. Ultimately this deconstruction kills the “science” it claims to love. Which leads to present-day selection bias among astronaut heroes. Captain Victor Glover, pilot of Artemis II in 2026 (NASA) 2. Present astronauts praise God, even Jesus “Good Earth.” Reading the Apollo 8 transcript, Stephen teared up. We've also heard that phrase recently repeated around Artemis II. Key point: you can't get far off Earth without loving this good Earth. You need to love God's creation, natural law, math, and science. And you must value knowledge, wisdom, adventure over comfort. Regardless of personal faith, you must acknowledge higher Good. This is what we saw most recently among Artemis II Among these, Captain Victor Glover is the most recently famous. You've likely seen his quotes circulating around social memes. In the Orion capsule named Integrity, Glover said this for Easter: I don’t have anything prepared. I think these observances are important. And as we are so far from Earth and looking back at the beauty of creation, I think for me, one of the really important personal perspectives that I have up here is I can really see Earth as one thing. When I read the Bible and I look at all of the amazing things that were done for us, who were created [to be]—you have this amazing place, this spaceship. You guys are talking to us because we're in a spaceship really far from Earth. But you're on a spaceship called Earth that was created to give us a place to live in the universe, in the cosmos. Maybe the distance we are from you makes you think what we’re doing is special. But we’re the same distance from you. And I’m trying to tell you—just trust me—you are special. In all of this emptiness—this is a whole bunch of nothing, this thing we call the universe—you have this oasis, this beautiful place that we get to exist together. I think, as we go into Easter Sunday, thinking about all the cultures all around the world, whether you celebrate it or not, whether you believe in God or not, this is an opportunity for us to remember where we are, who we are, and that we are the same thing, and that we’ve gotta get through this together. After returning, Glover shared similar thoughts to his neighborhood: Some of us have never met before and you know whose fault that is? Ours. So, let's choose to do this. Let's be this more. Let's be neighbors. I don't know if you heard me say it, but God told us to love Him with all that we are and love our neighbors as ourselves. I love you. This too went viral. And many people said, “He's sharing gospel!” Back to our previous question: is this the gospel? Yes and no. It's part of the gospel. But not the whole thing. And that's okay. It's okay to “preach” part of gospel if it's part of the whole thing. And assuredly, Victor Glover knows and confesses the gospel. Source: this Focus on the Family Daily Citizen article (April 26, 2023): Glover is bold and candid about the importance of his Christian faith in his life – and how we all need to see ourselves as sinners in search of hope and help. “No matter how long we've been in this, whether you're a preacher, an elder, or a deacon, brand new in your faith walk, we all need to be growing he told a Texas church audience last year. “We have a sin nature, and we need Jesus. Jesus is that bridge that spans sin.” Captain Barry “Butch” Wilmore retired from NASA in 2025. (NASA) Several other astronauts publicly confess Jesus as Lord and Savior. These include Col. Jeffrey Williams and General Charlie Duke. In 2025, Captain Barry “Butch” Wilmore was stuck aboard the ISS. He's since retired and now enters the Christian conference circuit! Captain Wilmore retired from NASA on August 6, 2025, after an illustrious career spanning 25 years. He feels called to use his experiences as an astronaut and his passion for astronomy to share the good news of God's Word. He joined fellow astronauts Colonel Jeffrey Williams and General Charlie Duke in speaking at the Astronaut Encounter, where the three shared their personal testimonies and incredible stories. Captain Barry Wilmore, Answers in Genesis bio, undated We can't imagine the responsibility of practicing faith in this space. And yet we know just soaring about Earth declares God's glory. Commander Reid Wiseman shared a similar story on April 16: When I got back on the on the ship—I’m not really a religious person—but there was just no other avenue for me to explain anything or to experience anything. So I asked for the chaplain on the Navy ship to just come visit us for a minute, and when that man walked in, I’d never met him before in my life. But I saw the cross on his collar, and I just broke down in tears. It’s very hard to fully grasp what we just went through. Not all astronauts are Christians. Not even if they speak of God. But they're doing amazing work in God's world for His good Earth. Jesus might say, “You are not far from the Kingdom” (Mark 12:34). 3. Future astronauts need space for Jesus Already we see “moon joy” that atheism cannot logically justify. Moreover, Space Race 2.0 isn't just trying to beat the enemy. This version truly seems to be built on more sustainable energy. At the very least it's built on Christianity-derived humanism. And it's based on hard work leading to merit and real achievement. If it's infected by false humanism and Sexualityism, it will collapse. Navelgazeitis will blind us, unable to gaze upon God's heavens. Astronauts can't live on that stuff. They'd never get off ground. For their jobs, they can certainly subsist on Christian principles. Those will get them to the heavens, to moonbases, and to Mars. But to gain New Heaven and New Earth, we need Jesus personally! Com station Top question for listeners Have you met faithful Christians working with a space program? Next on Fantastical Truth You've likely met some Christians who emphasize safety for children rather than preparing them for spiritual conflict. That's why some more genteel-churchy responses to pop culture have said “it's useless” or else “stay away” from stories like Harry Potter, Doom, or Dungeons and Dragons. So is it any wonder that a top-selling subgenre among young male readers is LitRPG, often with totally epic and jacked soldier good guys (maybe with mech suits) who slay evil aliens and demons?
