In this episode of The Box of Oddities, Jethro uncovers the strange history, disputed radar scans, ancient legends, and modern controversies surrounding the Sphinx.

Segment 1 • Modern culture has made “safety” its idol; every discomfort is treated like trauma. • Scripture flips the script: danger isn't just outside - it's inside you. • If your biggest threat is the outside world, you'll live in fear. If it's your own heart, you'll run to Christ. Segment 2 • “Safety-based” psychology is invading schools; students are learning to pathologize conviction. • Polyvagal Theory (born 1994) ignores man's spiritual nature—an anthropological train wreck. • The Bible says transformation comes by renewing the mind, not regulating vagus nerves. Segment 3 • The real concern is kids weaponizing therapy language against parents. • Britain officially affirms cousin marriage—a symbol of moral decay in the West. • Even theologians like N.T. Wright drift from biblical authority, showing the slope is real. Segment 4 • Cousin marriage bans once built Western civilization—now they're being reversed. • Germany's “polyandrous priestess” and IVF jewelry reveal what happens when sacredness dies. • The decline isn't just weird—it's spiritual rot disguised as progress. ___ Thanks for listening!

If the Doctrine and Covenants is the capstone of the Restoration, how does it conclude? It ends with a booming warning and an urgent political declaration. D&C 133 provides the final marching orders for the Church: prepare for Christ's return. Summary: In this episode, we analyze the urgent call to action in the Appendix (D&C 133) and the foundational principles of religious liberty (D&C 134). D&C 133: The Prophetic Appendix. This section is a restatement of the urgent warnings in D&C 1. The Lord commands the Saints to "prepare ye, prepare ye" and to "go ye out from Babylon" to avoid the destruction of the last days. This involves the call to "be ye clean that bear the vessels of the Lord." We explore the magnificent, yet terrifying, description of the Second Coming: Christ, "mighty to save," descending with "dyed garments"—red from having "trodden the wine-press alone"—a powerful symbol of both judgment and sacrificial love. The section concludes with the tender reassurance that "in all their afflictions he was afflicted." D&C 134: Church & State. Written in 1835, this declaration defines the Church's stance on civil governance, reflecting the persecution the Saints had endured. Government's Role: We believe governments are "instituted of God for the benefit of man" and should secure the "free exercise of conscience," property rights, and the protection of life. Freedom of Conscience: The central principle is clear: civil magistrates should "restrain crime, but never control conscience; should punish guilt, but never suppress the freedom of the soul." We advocate for a separation of Church and State, believing it is not right to "mingle religious influence with civil government" in a way that fosters one religion while suppressing another. Painful Compromises: We discuss the difficult historical context of verse 12, where the Church states it will "not interfere with bond-servants," revealing the painful compromises sometimes necessary in a fallen world to secure peace and the higher goal of preaching the gospel. Call-to-Action: What aspect of "Babylon" are you striving to leave behind this week? What does it mean to you to "be ye clean"? Share your commitment in the comments!

Join the Catholic Answers Live Club Newsletter Invite our apologists to speak at your parish! Visit Catholicanswersspeakers.com Questions Covered: 05:45 – If Jesus' death on the cross was sufficient to take away all sin, and all the punishment for sin, then why would anyone need to suffer for sins after death, like in purgatory?

Specific issue about salvation on eternal security? 34:40 – Is the Eucharist the end all be all? 47:17 – Why can't the soul in purgatory pray for themselves? 51:49 – Where does the practice of kneeling for communion come from and where did adoration come from?

Today, Pastor Jack teaches that when we ask for God to fill us with the Holy Spirit, it is something different. It's when we continually ask for the Holy Spirit to fill us with his power so we can be an effective witness, and an example of Christ.

How we begin our mornings shapes the rest of our day. In our daily prayer and devotional, we are encouraged to reflect on our morning rhythms: Do we tumble out of bed overwhelmed and already anxious, or do we begin the day aware of God’s mercies—fresh, new, and waiting for us at sunrise? Amanda Idleman challenges us to welcome God into our day before anything else. Simple steps—pausing to pray, kneeling beside the bed, reading Scripture before checking messages—invite God’s presence into the earliest moments of our morning. Establishing small but intentional rituals in our homes, such as praying with family before leaving the house, sets a foundation of gratitude and connection with God. God’s mercy meets us daily, but we experience it most fully when we slow down and make space for Him. From the breath in our lungs to the gift of another sunrise, our lives are miracles sustained by His grace. Creating sacred rhythms—prayer, Scripture meditation, meaningful family practices—helps us see His goodness woven into each new day. Today's Bible Reading:“The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.” – Lamentations 3:22-23 Takeaway Truths God offers new mercies every single morning—fresh grace for every new beginning. Morning habits rooted in prayer and Scripture awaken our hearts to God’s goodness. Intentional rhythms help us recognize that each day is a miracle sustained by His love. Let’s Pray Father, we thank You that You promise to provide new mercies for us every single morning. Help us to grab onto Your mercy and bring it into our everyday lives. Show us the best rhythms and routines we can implement to allow our souls and homes the best chance to connect with You each new day. Grant us the wisdom we need to succeed in embracing Your joy and relishing Your mercy. Let gratitude be a part of our morning routine. Help us not to take for granted the gift that each new day is. Nothing about our lives is an accident. Help me to embrace the purpose You have for my life. Help me to share Your love and grace with those around me. Allow me to be a model of Your mercy to those in my home who watch me start my day. Let my words be ones that point them to You and remind them that You are good. Show us Your ways, Jesus, and teach us Your path. We need You every day. Amen.

In 1954, deep under the streets of London, a mysterious 3rd c. temple was unearthed, but it was not as hoped a Christian church. It was a Mithraeum, a place of bloody secret rituals practiced by Roman soldiers. Who is their god Mithras? And is he the real Jesus?
