HEADLINE: Defining Vikings and Early Expansion BOOK TITLE: American Vikings: How the Norse Sailed into the Lands and Imaginations of America AUTHOR: Martyn Whittock 100 WORD SUMMARY: The book discusses the Norse expansion ("Viking" being an activity, not a societal label) that began sweeping across Europe and the British Isles in the late 8th century. Key drivers of this extraordinary diaspora included population growth, pushback against the Christian Frankish Empire, and, most notably, the disruption of the Islamic silver trade from Baghdad, which funded Scandinavia's gift-giving economy. This silver shortage forced the Norse to raid monasteries and coastal settlements for precious metals. The westward movement extended to the British Isles, Iceland (settled 870s), and eventually Greenland (10th century) as the Norse continued their exploration.

HEADLINE: Erikson, Sagas, and Vinland Location BOOK TITLE: American Vikings: How the Norse Sailed into the Lands and Imaginations of America AUTHOR: Martyn Whittock 100 WORD SUMMARY: The source focuses on the westward journey from Greenland, established by Erik the Red, to lands sighted by storm-driven sailors. His son, Leif Erikson, led expeditions around 1000 AD to Helluland (Baffin Island) and Markland (Labrador). This history is recorded in the Saga of Erik the Red (13th century) and the Saga of the Greenlanders (14th century). They reached a land they called Vinland, described as having wild grapes and wheat, suggesting a mild climate and abundant timber. The small population in Greenland ultimately hindered sustained settlement. Based on where wild grapes (like the fox grape) and wheat grow, Vinland must have been located significantly further south than Newfoundland, possibly reaching New Brunswick or New England.

HEADLINE: L'Anse aux Meadows, Conflict, and Freydís BOOK TITLE: American Vikings: How the Norse Sailed into the Lands and Imaginations of America AUTHOR: Martyn Whittock 100 WORD SUMMARY: The site of L'Anse aux Meadows in northern Newfoundland provides definitive archaeological proof of Norse presence in North America, with dendrochronological research confirming wood was cut in 1021. This site, however, was a short-lived, primarily male base camp for logistical support and exploration, not Vinland. Artifacts like butternut suggest the Norse sailed further south than Newfoundland, searching for elusive Vinland. Interactions with indigenous peoples (Skraelings) were complex, involving trade (evidenced by Norse items on proto-Inuit sites) and escalating conflict, often started by the Norse themselves. Freydís, Erik the Red's daughter, is portrayed in the sagas as a homicidal figure who killed women with an axe. 1906 ONLY HORSE UN GREENLAND

HEADLINE: Runestones, Artifacts, and Modern Misappropriation BOOK TITLE: American Vikings: How the Norse Sailed into the Lands and Imaginations of America AUTHOR: Martyn Whittock 100 WORD SUMMARY: Following the translation of the sagas, runestones (e.g., Kensington in Minnesota) began appearing, primarily after 1865. These are almost certainly fakes created by newly arrived Scandinavian immigrants seeking to claim "prior title" to the land by asserting "Vikings were here first." The only artifact likely to be genuine is the Maine Penny (Goddard Coin), found at a Native American trading site in 1957. It was likely passed along Native American trade networks, indicating Norsecontact as far south as Maine.

In this powerful episode, Pastor Johnny Ova sits down with Prof. Steven Mann, chair of the seminary at Azusa Pacific University and a leading expert in speech act theory, Old Testament theology, and biblical narrative. Together, they explore how God's words throughout Scripture are not just spoken statements but active forces that create, command, bless, warn, and transform.Prof. Mann explains how the lens of speech act theory helps us understand the Bible on a deeper level. From Genesis 1 to Jonah, from covenant to correction, from prophecy to poetry, this conversation unpacks how divine speech functions across the Old Testament. You will never read “And God said…” the same way again.We also explore how this theme connects to the New Testament and the identity of Jesus as the Word made flesh, offering a full-picture view of how God's speech is both consistent and redemptive across the entire biblical arc.

In this Trinity Forum Conversation, author Lanta Davis, along with special guest host and Trinity Forum Senior Fellow Jessica Hooten Wilson, delve into the power of imagination and its role in our spiritual formation. The discussion centers on Davis's book Becoming by Beholding, which explores Christian imagination through art, literature, and historical practices.These friends and scholars discuss the transformative potential of engaging with sacred art, the virtues, and traditional practices like Lectio Divina:"In Jesus's parables ... He's constantly showing us that there's more hidden behind the surface than we think. The mustard seed is not just a mustard seed. Yeast is not just yeast ... Jesus shows us heavenly meanings ... This is what the incarnation helps us understand, that the divine is not just up above. It's all around us. It's here and now. That when God became matter, all the material world changed because of it."We hope this conversation will resonate with you as you explore the good, the true, and the beautiful in your own corner of creation. This podcast is an edited version of our Online Conversation recorded in March 2025.

Is there such a thing as a too-imaginative kid? Parenting experts say no. Dr. Paul Harris, professor of education at Harvard and author of ⁠The Work of the Imagination⁠, says that kids' active imaginations are “essentially positive” and represent cognitive work, the way that children make sense of the world.  But if you've got a kid who prefers her imaginary friend to making real ones— or who terrorizes the first grade by explaining how zombies can get into one's home through the radiator— you might still wonder whether there comes a time to tamp it all down and force our kids to deal with reality.  In this episode we talk about  The considerable upsides of a huge imagination  Why some children have imaginary friends  Why some kids engage in “world play” for their imaginary worlds long after the other kids have moved on  How to help anxious kids whose imaginations can become overly active  How to encourage kids to engage in more imaginative play  And here's links to the books, articles, and research we discuss in this episode:  Lauren Child's ⁠Charlie and Lola book series⁠, featuring the kind-of-visible Soren Lorensen Louise Fitzhugh: ⁠Harriet the Spy⁠ Dr. Robin Alter: Anxiety and the Gift of Imagination Paul L.

We think of dinosaurs as figures from science, from history, from the fossil record. But if I say “Tyrannosaurus rex,” do you picture bones arranged in a museum — or do you picture that one scene in Jurassic Park? The more you think about it, the more you realize that your whole real concept of dinosaurs comes from movies and TV and kids’ books and comic books. So this hour, with the latest Jurassic World at No. 1 at the box office, a look at dinosaurs in our popular culture. GUESTS: Paul Brinkman: An associate professor in the Department of History at North Carolina State University and the author of multiple books, including The Second Jurassic Dinosaur Rush: Museums and Paleontology in America at the Turn of the Twentieth Century Hannah McGregor: An academic and podcaster and the author of Clever Girl: Jurassic Park Megan Schuster: A senior editor at The Ringer, where she hosts The Ringer F1 Show Tom Whyman: An academic philosopher, a postdoctoral research associate at the University of Liverpool, and the author of Infinitely Full of Hope: Fatherhood and the Future in an Age of Crisis and Disaster Support the show: http://www.wnpr.org/donateSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Welcome, South Coast native, America's Master Mentalist, and our friend, Jon Stetson, to our 206th podcast! Jon was our guest during the height of the pandemic when we recorded his visit on Podcast Number 67. A lot has happened in the World since we last spoke with him. In case you didn't know, Jon inspired the CBS hit television series “The Mentalist”. Stetson blends the art of Mystery with the study of Psychology, the predictability of human nature, and the power of intuition. According to Jon, “Imaginations are wowed, stretched, and captured, as thoughts are revealed and minds are being read.” This all takes place with Jon's intriguing games of mind-to-mind contact. As his billing touts, “The Stetson Experience is intelligent, interactive, sophisticated fun.” Jon says he began, "the study of the mystic arts at a very early age and has been blessed to receive formal training from some very gifted and proficient mystics, intuitives, shamans, and healers." He has performed for five U.S. Presidents, the King of Sweden, and the Royal Family of Monaco. He has appeared on several major television networks and made hundreds of corporate and celebrity appearances, Jon Stetson spoke with The Artists Index's cofounder, documentarian, and podcast host, Ron Fortier, once again last summer, about his study of the mystic arts and interactions with some of the greatest mystics and shamans. This episode was recorded at our recording studio at Spectrum Marketing Group at Howland Place in New Bedford.

Sunday March 23, 2025: Pastor Matt shares our third installment in our look at Holy Spirit conquered thoughts, holy imaginations, and how crucial our minds thinking rightly about Abba truly is for our lives. How we think about God, and how we think of ourselves in Christ, sets the course for the where we go. Also, at the end of the message we stepped into a real power worship flow that is included in this podcast. We intentionally left it on here in hopes that the prophetic swirl of His goodness is as present wherever, and whenever, you listen as it was in that moment.

Sunday March 16th, 2025: Pastor Matt dives back in to our look at the creative glory we carry as sons of God. This teaching centers extensively around the understanding of how crucial it is that we think, imagine, about the father rightly and how our holy conquered imaginations form and frame the way we engage with God and create with Him.

Sunday March 9th, 2025: Pastor Matt, in the same vein as we've been for several weeks with our teaching on living our lives governed by Holy Spirit, shares on the significant authority we have to create. This creative glory, our holy imaginations, can be the most life giving recourse for our spiritual walk, or, a detrimental trap of anxiety when our thoughts are not framed by His. What will we see when our imaginations are conquered by His love?

SEARCHING FOR THE LEGENDARY VINLAND: 3/4: American Vikings: How the Norse Sailed into the Lands and Imaginations of America by  Martyn Whittock  (Author) https://www.amazon.com/American-Vikings-Sailed-Imaginations-America/dp/1639365354 The geographical reach of the Norse was extraordinary. For centuries medieval sagas, first recorded in Iceland, claimed that Vikings reached North America around the year 1000. This book explores that claim, separating fact from fiction and myth from mischief, to assess the enduring legacy of this claim in America. The search for “American Vikings” connects a vast range of different areas; from the latest archaeological evidence for their actual settlement in North America to the myth-making of nineteenth-century Scandinavian pioneers in the Midwest; and from ancient adventurers to the political ideologies in the twenty-first century. It is a journey from the high seas of a millennium ago to the swirling waters and dark undercurrents of the online world of today. 1850
