Dr. Benjamin Houghton is a postdoctoral fellow at Lancaster University, UK, where he researches transnational repression. He holds a PhD from Durham University, UK, in Government and International Affairs. He is the author of “China's Strategy in the Gulf: Navigating Conflicts and Rivalries,” and has published two other books and several articles on global affairs.   China intends to have friendly relations through its policy of “strategic hedging .” China launched the Belt and Road Project, one of the largest infrastructure programs in the world, with the goal of pursuing “soft power.”  The recent dismantling of USAID, and withdrawal from WHO, has allowed China to fill a leadership void.   The key to reducing the possibility of war between China and another country is to reenter the nuclear deal that Trump negated during his first term, and reinforce areas of cooperation, such as the reduction of piracy through the Red Sea Dialogue.

In our sermon series, The Life God Has Always Wanted For You, Pastor Levi Matteson talks about how you will never open the door of generosity until you open your heart, including: I. Perspective Shapes Behavior (Matthew 6:19–24, Philippians 2); II. God Made You for His Purposes (Colossians 1:16–17); III. God Supplies the Seed (2 Corinthians 9:6–11, Ephesians 1:8); IV. Generosity as Spiritual Formation (John 3:16, Luke 19:8–10, Matthew 19:21–22); V. Generosity Breaks the Grip of Materialism (Matthew 13:44, 1 Timothy 6:17–19); and VI. The Big Question: What are you more worried about—your bank account or your generosity account?

In our sermon series, The Life God Has Always Wanted For You, Pastor Richard Fellars talks about how service is not just something we do for God—it's a sacred invitation to work with God in His Kingdom purposes. It is in the Work Room of grace that God shapes us through hands-on participation in His mission, including: 1. THE PATTERN OF SERVING IN SCRIPTURE, 2. THE PRINCIPLE OF SERVICE, and 3. THE PRACTICE OF SERVICE. This podcast episode is a Sunday message from Evangel Community Church, Houghton, Michigan, August 3, 2025.

What if the Big Bang wasn't the beginning? What if our universe is just one in a vast cosmic ocean of universes, and we have the evidence to prove it? In this episode of Into the Impossible, I'm joined by theoretical physicist Laura Mersini-Houghton to explore one of the most provocative ideas in modern cosmology: the multiverse is not only real—it's testable. Mersini, author of Before the Big Bang, walks us through her bold predictions about the structure of the cosmos, including the mysterious cold spot in the cosmic microwave background (CMB) that she foresaw years before it was confirmed by the Planck satellite. Together, we dissect her groundbreaking theory that our universe began as one branch of a quantum wave function stretching across a multiverse landscape. We talk quantum decoherence, cosmic scars, and how entanglement with other universes could leave measurable fingerprints in our sky. We also debate criticisms from fellow physicists and dive into what these revelations mean for the future of dark energy and cosmological theory. — Key Takeaways:  00:00 What happened before the Big Bang? 01:56 The CMB cold spot prediction 05:16 Quantum entanglement and decoherence 11:31 Criticism and evidence for the multiverse 17:06 The wave function of the universe 20:48 The string landscape and constants of nature 23:54 The cold spot and the hemispherical anomaly 37:20 Thoughts on the recent DESI suggestions 40:46 Judging a book by its cover 47:31 The multiverse and religion 57:29 Outro — Additional resources:  ➡️ Follow me on your fav platforms: ✖️ Twitter:⁠ ⁠⁠https://twitter.com/DrBrianKeating⁠ 

Dylan Joseph Abramson is a predator caught in the Marquette, Monroe, Michigan sting. He is mostly known for his resemblance to actor Tony Revolori, as well as his mental breakdown during his interview and arrest, whining about losing his job and making an odd face when asked if he'd had sex with a child before. At the time of the sting, Dylan was twenty-one years old and an aerospace engineering student at Michigan Tech College. He lived with his parents in Houghton, Michigan.  Dylan approached a girl who claimed to be nineteen years old from a prostitution advertisement. He immediately asked what services she provided and if she did French kissing; the girl then made it clear she was only fifteen years old.  Dylan was greeted by the decoy at the front door. The two made conversation for a moment, with Dylan acknowledging that she had a bong and that he would be willing to share some of the mariujana in his car with the decoy. When the decoy went upstairs using the phone charger excuse, Dylan attempted to follow her, only for Chris to come out and stop him. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
