THIS IS A PREVIEW. FOR THE FULL EPISODE, GO TO Patreon.com/worstofall The lads dive once more into the apocalyptic mind of Jerry B. Jenkins, as they cover the unintentional finale of the Kirk Cameron Left Behind trilogy: LEFT BEHIND WORLD AT WAR. Topics include the acting bona fides of Lou Gosset Jr., the importance of colons in titles, and how strict adherence to evangelical Christian eschatology will eventually lead you to blowing out the candles of a sad bundt birthday cake in the backroom of a church ministry in Bellflower, California.

That's why we were excited to visit our local theater to see the new, widely-released Dallas Jenkins film based on the popular children's novel of the same name. Originally authored by Barbara Robinson in 1972, THE BEST CHRISTMAS PAGEANT EVER tells the story of the Herdman family, affectionately dubbed “the worst kids in the world”. The Herdmans effectively run their small town of Emmanuel because no one can control their bad behavior. The town always had a sanctuary away from the mischief in church, but this seal was broken when the Herdman kids discovered the free snacks offered and insisted on participating in the yearly Christmas pageant. A cherished town tradition in Emmanuel, the Herdmans risk destroying the Christmas Pageant through their destructive irreverence, but instead their sincere, outsider curiosity about Christianity ends up winning over the hearts and minds of the rest of the congregation, creating a special memory of THE BEST CHRISTMAS PAGEANT EVER. Director Dallas Jenkins (son of Jerry B. Jenkins, co-author of the original LEFT BEHIND book series) was apparently so passionate about bringing THE BEST CHRISTMAS PAGEANT EVER to life on film that he set a daily reminder in his phone to pray for acquiring the rights to the story. It's a shame that this passion didn't manifest in the final project, which is styled so blandly and portrayed so literally to the text that the story comes across as cruel and inhumane toward the Herdmans instead of whimsical.  View our full episode list and subscribe to any of our public feeds: http://boysbiblestudy.com Unlock 2+ bonus episodes per month: http://patreon.com/boysbiblestudy Subscribe to our Twitch for livestreams: http://twitch.tv/boysbiblestudy Follow us on Instagram: http://instagram.com/boysbiblestudy Follow us on Twitter: http://twitter.com/boysbiblestudy

This week twenty years ago delivered a mix of jaw-dropping headlines and eyebrow-raising moments that'll make you say, "Wait, did that really happen?"First up, the heart-wrenching tale of Pat Tillman, the NFL star turned soldier whose story reads like a Hollywood script. From sacking quarterbacks to dodging bullets, Tillman's journey took a tragic turn when he was killed by friendly fire inAfghanistan. But hey, at least the military gave him a hero's send-off, right? Wrong. Turns out, the truth got lost in a military cover up, leaving us scratching our heads and wondering, "What really went down?"Meanwhile, down under, Aussie PM John Howard pulled off a surprise visit to Baghdad. Talk about a plot twist! With more security than a pop star at Coachella, Howard made a quick pit stop to hang with the troops. Because nothing says "support our troops" like a high-stakes game of hide-and-seek in a war zone.In sports, the NFL Draft turned into a real-life soap opera when Eli Manning got drafted by the Chargers but pulled a fast one to end up with the Giants. Forget touchdown passes—this was some next-level maneuvering worthy of a primetime drama. And speaking of drama, Maroon 5's "This Love" was all over the charts, giving us major relationship vibes and inspiring awkward conversations about exes.But let's not forget the literary world, where Tim LaHaye and Jerry B. Jenkins' "Glorious Appearing" took us on a wild ride through the end times. Move over, summer blockbusters—this book had everything from biblical prophecy to characters you'd swear were plucked straight from a Sunday sermon.Hang with us on socials to chat more noughties nostalgia - Facebook (@tminus20) or Instagram (tminus20podcast).

Ep. 90 The Chosen: Best of Episodes with Dallas Jenkins, Jonathan Roumie, Noah James, and Jordan Walker Ross ABOUT THIS PODCAST:The fourth season of "The Chosen" is now showing in theaters across the country. Previous episodes of The Paul Cardall Podcast have featured Dallas Jenkins, the creator, writer, and director of this widely acclaimed biblical series. Guests also included Jonathan Roumie, who portrays Jesus; Noah James, playing Andrew; and Jordan Walker Ross, in the role of Little James. In the podcast's 90th episode, listeners will enjoy highlights from Paul's interviews with these actors and the director, conducted over the course of seasons one through three. Listen to the full episodes with Dallas Jenkins (Director)Jonathan Roumie (Jesus)Noah James (Andrew)Jordan Walker Ross (Little James) ABOUT THE CHOSENThe Chosen is an American Christian historical drama television series. Created, directed, and co-written by filmmaker Dallas Jenkins, it is the first multi-season series about the life and ministry of Jesus of Nazareth. Primarily set in Judaea and Galilee in the 1st century, the series centers on Jesus and the different people who met and followed or otherwise interacted with him. The series stars Jonathan Roumie as Jesus, alongside Shahar Isaac, Elizabeth Tabish, Paras Patel, Noah James, and George H. Xanthis.After Jenkins noted there had never been a multi-season, episode-based portrayal of Jesus that could be "binge-watched" like shows on streaming mediums such as Netflix, he set out to create the series in partnership with Angel Studios, formerly VidAngel. With the intention of differing from previous portrayals of Jesus, he crafted a story arc which focused more on the people who encountered Jesus and viewed him through their eyes. He has stated in interviews that he sought to present Jesus in a way that was more "personal, intimate, [and] immediate"The show's producers have primarily used crowdfunding on the Angel Studios platform to finance production, and it continues to be the most successful crowdfunded TV series or film project. Additional revenue comes through licensing to other streaming platforms and TV networks, such as Amazon Prime Video, Peacock, and Netflix. Merchandise and video sales provide additional sources of revenue, as have limited premiere runs in cinemas. The show has been further adapted into a series of novels by Jenkins's father, author Jerry B. Jenkins, a series of graphic novels by Corvus Comics, and companion Bible study materials published by David C. Cook.According to a 2022 analysis commissioned by the show's producers, 108 million had seen at least part of the show through the app and streaming platforms. Translation into as many as 600 languages is being funded by the Come and See Foundation. PAUL'S MUSIC & SOCIAL MEDIAhttp://www.paulcardall.comhttp://www.facebook.com/paulcardallmusichttp://www.instagram.com/paulcardall Show your support by subscribing to the podcast.

It's a delight to bring you this conversation with my new writing friend Jerry B. Jenkins. We've been in the same published writing group for years. But it was such fun to hop on Zoom and talk about his latest book, The Chosen Book Three. We talked about working with his son Dallas, writing the book after the production, which is the flip, and so much more. It was enlightening to hear his heart for this work and what God is showing him in the writing. There is such care in the process. There's also such fun in the writing and the choices. Jerry's been writing for 50 years, and he is a pro. But this is a calling. Writing has always been a calling, but there's a special add-on to this new work. I can't wait to hear your thoughts as you listen in. Connect with Jerry B.

This episode is a doozy friends. Today we discuss the very controversial series that took the world by storm in the late 90's. We get serious,silly,then serious again. Buckle your squashes and dive in with us!

Join us live in Los Angeles as Boys' Bible Study and American Cinematheque present... LET THERE BE LIGHT (2017) on Sun., Aug 27 at 10pm. Advance tickets on sale now! Every so often, God calls upon you to watch a movie that makes you reexamine the big milestones of decision-making in your life, such as, “What if… I never hosted a Christian film podcast?” WHAT IF… is a Christian romantic drama about guardian angels and alternate timelines that would feel right at home in the 1990s trend of secular/faith-based crossover media such as TOUCHED BY AN ANGEL. However, WHAT IF… was made two decades after this angelic era, and by a very consequential team of directors, writers and producers who would soon go on to achieve great success in the faith-based film genre. Director Dallas Jenkins (son of LEFT BEHIND co-creator Jerry B. Jenkins) would go on to direct THE CHOSEN, the hugely popular contemporary Christian TV series about the ministry of Jesus. Writers Chuck Konzelman and Cary Solomon would go on to create the consequential GOD'S NOT DEAD series just a few years after the release of WHAT IF…. Finally, WHAT IF… co-producer David A.R. White (already a famous name in the genre) and star Kevin Sorbo would soon be the lead actors in GOD'S NOT DEAD, cementing their respective statuses as the contemporary titans of Christian film. WHAT IF… stars Kevin Sorbo perfectly in his favorite typecast role of a ruthless, worldly atheist. In this case, his character Ben Walker leaves his relationship with his devoutly Christian high school sweetheart Wendy (Kristy Swanson) to start a new life in the big city as a rich and successful investment banker. Sounds great, but something must be missing… right? Right? Right!? Guardian angel “Mike the Angel” (John Ratzenberger) is sent by God to dispatch Ben to a more wholesome realm, where he never left Wendy and he gets to experience the richness of family life. Through Ben's eyes, we learn that love is more important than money… but money definitely helps a lot!

Kevin Sorbo (KSorbs) has directed a new Left Behind movie which we encountered in theaters as a Fathom Event. For those unfamiliar with Left Behind, they were a series of 16 bestselling Christian novels covering the End Times and authored by Tim LaHaye and Jerry B. Jenkins. In the early 2000s, Kirk Cameron starred in three films which were adaptations of some of these novels. Then in 2014, Nicolas Cage starred in a big-budget reboot of the series, entitled simply Left Behind. Nine years passed until Kevin Sorbo took up the torch, directing and starring in this new sequel to the Nicolas Cage movie entitled Left Behind: Rise of the Antichrist. This time Kevin Sorbo is playing the lead role of Rayford Steele, accompanied by co-stars Neal McDonough, Corbin Bernsen, Sam Sorbo (Kevin's wife), Braeden Sorbo (Kevin's son), and Bailey Chase playing the rising Antichrist named Nicolae Carpathia. Before we entered this movie, we take you to school on the ideas of premillennial dispensationalism which is a widespread belief system amongst Evangelical Christians in America. We'll tell you all about The Rapture, The Antichrist, The Tribulation, and much more in this episode. And then we'll tell you about this wild movie! It's an epic faith-based Lodgecast with a Seven-Headed Salad Dragon that we can't wait to unveil. Brace yourself for the Apocalypse!

Dallas Jenkins is best known for the hit series, The Chosen, which has been watched by over 400 million people worldwide since it started airing in 2018. Dallas is the son of Jerry B. Jenkins,  a Christian novelist best known for the Left Behind series, one of the highest-selling book series of all time, selling over 60 million copies.In this interview, Dallas talks to Patricia about the surprising success of The Chosen after what he calls his "biggest career failure" and how each experience prepared him to humbly bring his best to God and let Him do the rest. He also talks about the future of the series, which should expand to four more seasons with a goal of reaching 1 billion people with the message of Jesus.

The lads start 2023 off right by hopping aboard an adulterous plane and flying straight into the Rapture as they cover the disastrous Kirk Cameron vehicle: Left Behind: The Movie (2000). Topics include the origins of the Tribulation, the clientele of leather bars, and the surprising endurance of the concept that, one day, the Lord will strike Christians nude and yeet them into Heaven.   Want more TWOAPW? Get access to our full back catalogue of premium/bonus episodes and add your name to the masthead of our website by subscribing for $5/month at Patreon.com/worstofall!   Media Referenced in the Episode: Left Behind: The Movie.

Dallas Jenkins is changing the world by telling the greatest story of all time in a completely new way. “The Chosen” makes you feel like you've been dropped into the 1st century A.D. with all the social and political tension of Israel under Roman control, and it's won over countless fans who never thought they'd be this excited to watch a “Jesus show.” And its unconventional style is paying off. On this episode of "The Glenn Beck Podcast," Dallas gives an insider's look at “The Chosen” as season 3 begins, including the story of casting Jesus, the incredible experiences that he's witnessed on-set, and the twists and turns he's planning for future seasons (FOUR of them!) as he explores the humanity of often one-dimensional characters like Mary Magdalene, Nicodemus, and Judas Iscariot. He also shares what the show has taught him about his own relationship with Christ. Because as the son of "Left Behind" author Jerry B. Jenkins, he feels as though he's been similarly chosen to spread the Gospel in a unique way.   SPONSORS: Preborn is completely dependent on YOU, the pro-life community, as the company fights the giants.

Jerry B. Jenkins is a NY Times bestselling author and his son, Dallas Jenkins, created the hit TV show "The Chosen" and Jerry digs into the disciples lives and what could have motivated them. Jerry talks about Matthew being a tax collector and what the duties of a tax collector was in 1st century Israel. Jerry also digs into what the disciples could have thought after Jesus was crucified. Also, the disciples did not have the Holy Spirit walking with them like we do now. Scott and Jerry talk about how this should bring us great encouragement.

Did you know that September is Safety Month at NAR? This month, we are talking with Tracey Hawkins about being intentional regarding safety in the general course of business. REALTORS® can be at risk when meeting strangers at empty houses, or meeting sellers at their houses alone. It is key to be prepared and use proactive solutions. Even though the likelihood of something happening may be small, the fact is the risk does exist. Our guest will inform you of these risks and will share some information that may surprise you, including stories of crimes against agents. You may not realize who the majority of the victims are. In this episode, you will find out and will learn so much more. This episode shares crucial information to keep you safe on the job.   Disclaimer: Some topics discussed in this episode may not be suitable for children.     [2:23] Monica introduces Tracey Hawkins and shares her biography. [3:20] Monica welcomes Tracey to The Center for Real Estate Development Podcast to talk about safety and security. [4:17] Tracey says that we're more aware of incidents with REALTORS® thanks to social media and more reporting. Incidents have always happened and continue to happen. Tracey talks about these crimes on social media. There are many forums where real estate agents talk about these crimes, so we're just more aware of them. [5:18] The most important part of Tracey's message is “Let's prevent these crimes,” using lessons learned. Tracey talked at the 2021 NAR Conference about lessons learned. She looks at the crimes against real estate agents, and without blaming the victim, let's learn from what happened in those crimes and let's pledge to do better. [5:53] In the last two-and-a-half years, there has been a focus on male agents being victimized and the question is, why? In 2017 for REALTOR® Magazine, Tracey wrote an article about crimes against male agents. It was the most-read article of the year. She rewrote the article for RIS Media. In the last while, in almost every crime against REALTORS®, a male agent has been the target. [6:43] Most recently, a male agent was murdered by his 85-year-old client. The agent had only communicated with the client online. It seems the client had bought the home after only seeing it virtually. After he closed on the house and moved in, he decided he didn't want it and wanted to “return” it. When the agent met the client at the home, the client shot and killed him and then shot and killed himself. [7:55] Tracey talked to an agent who knew the situation. The agent's opinion is that the solution is that no one should be able to close on a house without seeing it in real life. But in the pandemic, that was not realistic. Many homes have been sold virtually without any problems. This was a case of a disturbed person. We can prepare but we can't prevent everything. [9:30] Tracey shares a story from California. A brother and sister had inherited a property. The sister wanted to sell it but the brother didn't. Two real estate agents and a home inspector met them both at the property. The brother pulled out a gun and shot the two agents and the home inspector. The agents were wounded and the home inspector died. [9:57] Tracey has always recommended agents follow the CITO (Come Into The Office) protocol for the first meeting. Failing that, the first meeting should be virtual, on Facetime, or similar. The pandemic made agents more apt to use virtual meetings. During the virtual meeting, you can gauge the disposition of the client, such as if there is a conflict between the sellers. [11:06] Tracey suggests being more productive during a virtual meeting. Share your screen and show a few properties virtually. You can rule out properties without driving to them. [12:34] The stories Tracey shared were not random strangers showing up. They were a client and potential clients. This opens up awareness beyond what we have been taught. Tracey has talked to thousands of agents and is active on social media. She has conversations with agents who think they have nothing to worry about. Criminals have cars; there's no such thing as a safe neighborhood. [13:45] In the “nicer” neighborhoods, where you think you're safe, that's where criminals assume that the rich agents are. Tracey shares a recent story from Las Vegas of an assault against a female agent in a model home in broad daylight. It can happen anywhere, anytime. Always be alert and aware. [14:27] Tracey's job is somewhat challenging. She works hard to get the message out to male agents. You may not think you need to hear what she has to say but it could save your life or save them some trouble. [14:54] Monica returns to the idea of showing properties virtually, especially for clients who cannot conveniently come into the office. It's a great first step for safety and also for having a conversation about where the client wants to live and what kind of house they want. Before getting in a car and driving around, the agent will get a better vibe of what the client wants. It builds the relationship. [16:03] Burglaries also happen. An agent in Tennessee was opening the door for clients. A gunman approached and said, “Run for your life!” The agent trusted his gut, threw his keys, and ran. He was not shot. The gunman stole the car, which was later recovered by police tracking his iPad still in the car. [17:05] In Florida, a male real estate agent was in front of a listing and a gunman approached and abducted the agent. They drove to two ATMs where the gunman stole $500 at each ATM and then shot and killed the agent. Be aware, be alert, and know that it can happen. The male agents always tell Tracey how big they are, but they can be victimized, too. [18:59] Tracey teaches agents to lead with safety and be the agent who is constantly talking about safety. When a caller asks you to come to their property, inform them that company procedure requires you to check them out and get some background information before you visit a property. That's for everyone's benefit. [20:06] Don't assume that the person in the house is fine because they own a house. It might even be someone who has “jacked” the listing and is pretending to be the owner. [20:34] Forewarn® for Real Estate is an app for REALTORS® that does a basic background check in a few minutes. Tracey has interviewed them for a couple of her articles. If some of the agent victims had used Forewarn®, they might never have met their assailants. Forewarn® reports on criminal convictions, but many criminals have not been caught. So Forewarn® is a layer in your safety process. [21:28] The U.S. Department of Labor considers real estate sales and leasing a high-risk, hazardous occupation. You meet strangers in empty houses. Build safety into your business. Let clients know safety requires you to check them out before going to meet them. Let clients know they have to get valuables, guns, envelopes, and prescriptions out of sight in an open house. Be the safety agent for your clients. [23:17] The agent must say out loud to the seller, that the agent cannot be responsible for belongings in the house. The agent can make a waiver for the seller to sign. Provide a checklist of things for the seller to lock away or hide to keep them safe. Tell the seller, no one should know who lives in this house. Take down family photos. You will represent safety to that seller and stand out from other agents. [26:50] If the house is empty, you can offer to go by and check that it is locked and secure. But you may be taking on liability with this offer. [28:40] Monica asks Tracey about these practices: Before going to meet someone at a house, on the phone get their full name, phone number, email address, their REALTOR® if they have one, and who is coming with them to the showing. Also, tell them you will be checking their driver's license outside the house. If unexpected extra people show up, you have a chance to find listen to your gut feeling. [30:58] Tracey loves that Monica is listening to her gut feeling, instinct, intuition, or whatever you want to call it. All agents need to do that. If your gut is telling you you're not safe, believe it and get out of the situation. If you do not have the first meeting in your office, meet at a coffee shop where you are known, where if something happens, it will be noticed. Or borrow vendor meeting rooms in different parts of town. [33:59] Tracey's sister, an agent for 34 years, only meets new people at her office. You meet a professional at their office. Wherever you meet, let the client know you have a safety plan that includes knowing whom you are meeting and that you will need some information. Be consistent for one and all, so you don't get into trouble with fair housing discrimination. Make it your everyday safety practice. [35:40] When you rented a movie at Blockbuster, you showed your ID. Of course, it is reasonable to show an ID to make the largest financial transaction of your life. A legitimate client will accept safety practices. It needs to be a part of your safety plan and it needs to be consistent. [36:20] Tracey's tools for safety include smartphones and smartwatches. You can call for help or show your location from your watch. Set up the safety settings of your smartwatch and smartphone. Google Maps has a free location-sharing feature. Every agent needs to use it. Google Calendar can be shared with your office for your work appointments. Google View can show a street view of where you are. [38:30] Someone should always know where you are. But, whenever there is Bluetooth or Wi-Fi connectivity, your information is being shared, so be on alert. You might be playing golf, but somebody knows where you are. [39:55] Tracey's suggestions about carrying weapons. The number one defensive weapon agents use is pepper spray. Next are firearms, and then knives. Know the difference between tear gas, Mace, and pepper spray. Mace is a brand name. You want pepper spray. Look for OC (Oleoresin Capsicum) on the label. The spray has an expiration date. Test it. Know how it's going to spray when you need it. [41:17] Any safety tool, whether it's your phone, or whether it's a gun, or your pepper spray, needs to be accessible. In some cases you want it to be visible, like pepper spray, as a deterrent. Practice and test the pepper spray every six months. [42:24] Tracey sells pepper spray to agents. She tells them to take it outside and practice with it, become familiar with it, and test it every six months. [43:04] Some agents tell Tracey their husband wants them to have a gun but they are afraid of it. If you are afraid of a gun, you're not going to carry it. If you are not comfortable using it, it is more likely to be taken from you and used against you. If you are comfortable with a gun, take care of the legalities first. NAR does not have a policy on guns. They refer you to your regional or local association. [43:57] If you get the clearance of your local board or association, talk to your company and find out if they have restrictions on carrying a firearm. Then, don't just get a license and call it a day. Enroll in firearm safety classes and be there regularly. Practice regularly so it becomes muscle memory and when it becomes time to use it, you are confident. Tracey shares a Colorado story where an agent had to shoot. [45:18] If you are going to take martial arts or self-defense classes, you need to be committed. You need to do it. Tracey shares a Virginia story where an agent was hit 10 to 12 times in the head area with a wrench. She was a black belt. She put up a fight. She survived, with a long road to recovery. Enroll in self-defense classes, take more than one class, and take them regularly. Get muscle memory. [45:59] All of these things are layers in your safety plan. First, be proactive. Then have weapons of pepper spray or firearms. Take self-defense classes. Tracey wishes proactive safety education was mandated. Monica believes proactive safety education is working for some of us and shares a story of an alert agent who protected herself from a potential assault from someone lurking around an open house. [47:54] Tracey says that 71% of REALTORS® surveyed have not taken a safety class. Tracey wants to change that. Meanwhile, she tells agents to rely on their gut, but also not to judge a book by its cover. Look at photos of Sam Walton and Ted Bundy. You would not know from looks which was the richest man in the world and which was a serial killer. Look at behavior. Judging wrongly could cost you your life. [50:30] Monica recommends a book, Verbal Judo, and asks for Tracey's recommendations on de-escalation. Tracey tells of an agent who showed up for a listing appointment and walked into a sibling dispute. She said she would go back to her car and when they reached a decision they could come out and invite her back in. Tracey also suggests a fake phone call to retreat from an uncomfortable situation. [52:29] Having an implied witness to whatever may happen is helpful. Tracey has group discussions and role-plays in her classes. Agents learn from each other when they hear the different stories and the techniques others have used. Role-playing prepares you for situations that might take you off-guard when it's hard to think on your feet. [53:54] Safety education needs to be a part of new agent orientation. New agents have no clue what they don't even know. [54:54] Tracey's last words for the episode: Agents are interested in putting video content on social media. Use those platforms to talk about safety! Be the safety agent for your area. Post safety tips. Be a resource. Provide safety content for people to copy instead of sending out the same email every other agent is sending. Lead with safety. Use expert-created content that Tracey and others have curated. [56:25] Monica thanks Tracey for caring about us and sharing this important safety information. [58:14] Monica invites the listener to listen to Donny Allen's episode on safety, Episode 44. He discusses different things than Tracey discussed. Monica invites you to share Tracey's episode with your friends to help them be safer in these crazy times. [58:52] Check out the new Center for REALTOR® Development website at Learning.REALTOR.   Tweetables:   “I live and breathe real estate safety.” — Tracey   “I think one of the reasons there are not more [crimes against REALTORS®] is the proactive preparation that agents are making.” — Monica   “There are things that we can do but we can't prevent everything.” — Tracey   “Use that virtual opportunity to be more productive. … Take that time in your first meeting to share your screen and show a few properties and you can rule out properties that just are not a fit, right there virtually, so you're more productive and you're working safely. So the two go together.” — Tracey   “My job, without inducing fear, is to let agents know that it happens everywhere. It happens at all times. And if one more person says anything to me about ‘I only go to good neighborhoods,' I'm going to scream!” — Tracey   “Ask the police about ‘good neighborhoods' and how many times they go there for domestic violence!” — Monica   “The nicer neighborhoods, … that's where the good stuff is and that's where criminals assume that the rich agents are. So when I look back at crimes against real estate agents, I see them happening in model homes. … It can happen anywhere, anytime. You need to always be alert and aware.” — Tracey   “My job is always challenging. People don't think they need to hear what I have to say when what I have to say could save their lives.” — Tracey   “When you hear that the U.S. Department of Labor considers real estate sales and leasing a high-risk, hazardous occupation, then that makes you pay attention. You make a living sitting in empty houses waiting for strangers to walk in. You make a living meeting strangers in empty houses.” — Tracey   “Someone should always know where you are when you are working, no ifs ands or buts about it. That means open houses.” — Tracey   “Any safety tool, whether it's your phone, or whether it's a gun, or your pepper spray, needs to be accessible. In some cases you want it to be visible, like the pepper spray as a deterrent.” — Tracey   “Enroll in [firearm safety] classes and be there on a regular basis so that it becomes muscle memory; when it's time to use it, you are confident.” — Tracey   “If you are going to take a martial arts or self-defense class, you need to be committed. You need to do it.” — Tracey   “That's one of the things about proactive education, that when people are applying it, we don't know what we've thwarted. So, we have to just believe that it's working even though we don't know it and that's the good news is we believe that it's working for some of us.” — Monica   “It easy to put [safety] off. Until it isn't. We don't want any of you to be a statistic. So if you don't have a policy already, I would encourage you to set it this week. Put that on your goal list. And attend a class this month.” — Monica   Guest Links:   Tracey, the Safety Lady — Tracey Hawkins www.safetyandsecuritysource.com/about www.nar.realtor/safety   Verbal Judo: The Gentle Art of Persuasion, by George J.

Ok, heute haben wir beide gelitten. Der Bestseller «Das Finale» (auf Englisch «Left Behind») aus dem Jahr 1995 hat es uns aber auch nicht leicht gemacht. Das Buch (das in den Folgejahren zur 16-teiligen Buchreihe angeschwollen ist) erzählt die Folgegeschichte der sog. «Entrückung». Damit ist ein apokalyptisches Ereignis gemeint, das nach Auffassung vieler evangelikaler Christen in der «Endzeit» auf uns wartet: Alle wahrhaft Gläubigen werden dann in einem einzigen Augenblick vom Erdboden verschwinden – und den ungläubigen Rest der Menschheit für die «grosse Trübsal» zurücklassen. Eine neue, widergöttliche Weltordnung wird dann aufgerichtet, und der Antichrist kommt an die Macht und zieht die Weltbevölkerung in seinen Bann… Manuel und Stephan sind sich schnell einig, dass mit diesem Buch so ziemlich nichts stimmt. Besonders übel stösst der unverhohlene Eskapismus auf: Christen werden in himmlische Sphären entrückt, während der Rest der Welt an den A… geht. Das lässt sich biblisch in keiner Weise rechtfertigen und ist auch theologisch hochproblematisch. Sollten wir uns als Christinnen und Christen nicht vielmehr fragen, wie wir diese diesseitige Welt für alle (!) Menschen zu einem besseren Ort machen könnten? Ein spannendes, humorvolles und stellenweise sicher auch etwas zynisches Gespräch ist euch sicher… Und schliesslich wollen wir euch auch das unübertrefflich klare Fazit, das der Theologe Jürgen Moltmann aus der Lektüre des Buches zieht, nicht vorenthalten: «Die Zukunft Christi findet auf Erden statt, nicht im Himmel. Es wäre also besser, die Glaubenden blieben der Erde auch in Katastrophen treu und würden sich nicht ins Jenseits flüchten. Der fromme Entrückungstraum dagegen enthält eine Resignation, die diese Erde der Vernichtung preisgibt. Wer in seinem Glauben andere "zurücklässt", verlässt sie. Das kann weder eine gesegnete Hoffnung sein, noch etwas mit Liebe zu tun haben. Schließlich: Ein Gott, der nur darauf wartet, christliche Besatzungen aus ihren Flugzeugen zu "entrücken", damit diese abstürzen und Tausende Menschen getötet werden, kann kein Gott sein, dem man vertrauen kann. Das ist eher der üble Abgott einer krankhaften Weltverachtung.» (aus: Jürgen Moltmann, Die Endzeit hat begonnen, Die Zeit, Nr. 51, 2002)
