We conclude the Biblical Passion of Christ with the resurrection and appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ on the third day. Dr. Mitchell presents the beginning and early morning of the resurrection day.Our hope is that you will have been encouraged that we have a living Savior, the Living Son of God.Thank you for being with us on this special Unchanging Word Bible Broadcast.We begin in John chapter 20.In this chapter, Dr. Mitchell will speak of Jesus as the victorious one. Jesus is risen from the dead. Johnrecords of Mary Magdalene alone, while the other gospels record the presence of other women, also.John also, goes into detail about Peter and John himself racing to see the empty tomb. John saw and believed, but as yet they did not understand the Scripture about Jesus' resurrection. They then went back home.Dr. Mitchell goes on to present the doctrinal importance of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus. He emphasizes that this resurrection is physical not merely spiritual.Jesus appeared to Mary Magdalene and with His familiar voice called her by name, and she recognized His voice. Do you remember how Jesus says, My sheep hear my voice in John 10? Turn with us to John 20 verse 1 with our teacher, Dr. Mitchell.

On this episode of Miscarriage Stories, we hear from Brooke who experienced two losses AFTER having her three-year-old son. Loss after living children always comes as a shock because you expect the same outcome from the first pregnancy but when her second pregnancy was a blighted ovum (missed miscarriage) and then her third was a molar pregnancy, she was devastated to say the least. She shares her journey through loss, grief, and what comes next. Miscarriage Stories is hosted by Arden Cartrette who founded The Miscarriage Doula / an online service and resource for women going through pregnancy loss.

The parable of the Prodigal Son is one that is familiar to many people, both Christian and non-Christian alike. It is a story that rings true throughout different times and cultures. But, what happens if we look at it with rather fresh eyes? Father Blackburn's sermon examines all the characters in this story and asks us, "Who are we today?"
This week Pastor Steve launched our advent series walking through how we can prepare for the coming of Jesus by connecting our journey to Mary's journey, one of simple submission. It ended with a challenge to centering prayer, please find a description for centering prayer below that can guide you this Christmas Season. Centering Prayer This form of prayer finds its roots in Lectio Divina. It moves us and helps us prepare to contemplate the gift of God's presence with us. It is founded on our relationship with God, through the life of Jesus and it nurtures our relationship with God so that we are aware of God's presence more readily in our daily life. Centering prayer is not meant to replace other modes of prayer but instead works to support our more verbal, or affective prayers. The primary focus is for us to grow in our relationship with God and move beyond conversation with God and into simple restful communion. It is recommended that you engage in this practice a couple times a day, for twenty minutes each time you enter in. If you are not accustomed to silence, we want to invite you to build your way up to twenty minutes, starting with 10, and slowly adding time until twenty minutes seems not long enough for this restful prayer. It is our hope that centering prayer would deepen your relationship with the Divine, an awareness of the Triune God, Father, Spirit and Living Son. We also hope that through these practices you grow to know God's heart and your heart for God's people would help to expand into communities of love and support. Instructions • Quiet Your Mind - Close your eyes, be still and open yourself up to God's presence. Make sure you are comfortable and centre yourself in silence. Become aware of your backbone, and sit up in a way that your head is high and your chest is open so that you can be aware of your Head, Heart and Body, with your hands rested in your lap. • Consider - a sacred word, an image or focus on your breath. Each time you feel yourself getting distracted use your sacred breath, image or word to recenter yourself of God's presence. It is important to be gracious with yourself, it doesn't matter how often you use your sacred word, it brings you back to an awareness of God. • Open - yourself and allow God to be with you, allow God to just be within you, give your undivided attention and love to God. • Refocus - Whenever you notice your thoughts pulling yourself in another direction use your sacred word to recenter inwards towards God. • Give Thanks - As your prayer time comes to a close, give thanks to God for just being with you, and slowly transition back to your everyday activities.

Are you worshipping in Ruach and Emet? In these perilous times, many are sensing that there are problems with both the Institutional Church and the Messianic/Hebrew Roots. Those proclaiming these false gospels by either denying the Son or watering down the New Testament message. As believers today, we need an awakening to the Living Son in his fullness as High Priest.

Every day another article comes out about how voters are stressed by this election. But we wanted to know: what is the election doing to our biology? The American Psychological Association recently found that more than half of all Americans — 52 percent — say this year’s presidential election is a “somewhat” or “very significant” source of stress in their lives. The survey was self-reported, meaning respondents answered a few questions online and the APA took their self-assessments at face value. Anecdotally, those assessments probably ring true for many of us, but it turns out there’s a way to measure the physiological effects of election stress. Over the last few years, a group of neuroscientists and political scientists have pioneered a new field called biopolitics, the study of biology and political behavior. Professor Kevin Smith is a political scientist at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln and a co-author of the book, "Predisposed: Liberals, Conservatives, and the Biology of Political Differences.” He often collaborates with Dr. Jeffrey French, who runs a lab at the University of Nebraska-Omaha and studies cortisol, a hormone we release when we’re stressed. One of Smith and French’s recent studies looked at stress and voting. They wanted to know if cortisol levels influence whether people vote. The easiest way to test cortisol is through saliva, so they collected spit samples from a bunch of participants and got their official voting records for the past six elections. The researchers found that people with higher cortisol levels vote less. And that finding correlates with another one of their studies, which found that people who voted absentee experienced less stress than people who went to the polls. So we asked French and Smith to help us design an experiment of sorts. We’d use the presidential debates as a proxy for the election. Our team would go to debate watch parties and collect saliva samples from viewers to measure their cortisol levels. We’d also ask the participants to fill out a survey about themselves: their party affiliation, age and self-reported stress level. And we’d see who had the biggest changes in their cortisol over the course of the debate. During the first two presidential debates, we went to watch parties in Times Square, Midtown Manhattan and Northern New Jersey. Participants spat three times into tiny tubes: before the debate, to get a baseline sample, midway through the debate and after the debate. We over-nighted the samples to Omaha, where Dr. French processed them in his lab. A few weeks later, he had the results. We all agreed that the debate watch parties seemed stressful. At a bar in Times Square, we talked to young Republicans unhappy with their nominee and worried about their party’s future. Others were terrified at the prospect of a Clinton presidency. In Midtown, a group of Democrats had gathered to watch at the Roosevelt Institute, a left-leaning think tank. A few of them brought their own alcohol, to temper their anxiety (French and Smith took alcohol and caffeine intake into account in their analysis) and a number of them worried about Trump’s popularity. But the results surprised us: cortisol levels stayed close to normal levels throughout the debates. Clinton supporters had a small spike at the midway point, but not by much. Overall, the stress levels for liberals and conservatives didn’t really change — with one exception. The researchers looked at cortisol levels based on whether participants had someone close to them who planned to vote for the opposing candidate. And for Trump supporters who had a conflict with a person close to them — a parent, a sibling, a spouse — cortisol levels actually went up after the debate. They probably found the debate more stressful. French and Smith warned us that this wasn’t a pristine study. In fact, both professors laughed when we asked if they’d submit our work to a peer-reviewed journal. But they agreed that this finding was statistically significant. And they didn’t find it for Clinton supporters, or voters who supported a third party candidate. The other significant finding related to baseline cortisol levels — the participants’ stress level before the debate. The researchers found that Trump supporters had much higher baseline levels compared to Clinton voters. Smith, the political scientist, couldn’t tell us why Trump voters had two times as much cortisol in their saliva compared to Clinton supporters. But he did say that our experiment served as an interesting pilot study — one that made him think differently about what he hopes to study next: tolerance. Here, Smith made a comparison to same-sex marriage. Opposition to it shifted when researchers found some biological or genetic basis for being gay — when it started to be considered innate. Smith wonders if the same is true for political difference. As he told one of our reporters, “If you're a liberal and I'm a conservative and I believe you're a liberal because you're genetically predisposed to be, then am I more tolerant of you or less tolerant of you?” In other words, if political difference is related to our biology, maybe we’ll be more tolerant of each other. And therefore less stressed. And therefore more likely to vote. At least, that’s the hope. In the spirit of encouraging less stressful conversations with the other side, here's a video with some tips for talking politics with your loved one — who's wrong about everything.

Earlier this year, North Carolina passed HB2, the so-called "bathroom bill." The law bans anyone from using a public restroom that doesn't match up with his/her biological sex. HB2 put the state in the middle of a national fight about gender. But North Carolina is also home to one of the few gender clinics for kids in the South, at Duke University's Children's Hospital. This week, we spend a day in that gender clinic, the only one in North Carolina. We wanted to know how a clinic like this one operates in this political climate. And we wanted to find out how these patients are coping. Dr. Deanna Adkins, a pediatric endocrinologist, started the clinic a year ago. Over the course of our day, we met three of her very different patients. Drew Adams is a 15-year-old trans man who came with his mom, Erica, all the way from Jacksonville, Florida. On the drive up, Drew wore a T-shirt with "This is What Trans Looks Like" printed on it. He told us he decided to change out of it before he stopped for a bathroom break in North Carolina; he used the men's room. When Dr. Adkins told Drew that not only would he get a prescription for testosterone, but that he could give himself his first shot that very day, Drew stood up and cheered. Dr. Deanna Adkins, the pediatric endocrinologist in charge of the Duke Child and Adolescent Gender Care Clinic (Mary Harris) We also shadowed Dr. Adkins's appointment with Jaye, an 18-year-old African-American trans woman. Jaye's experience has been very different from Drew's; her family has had a harder time accepting her transition. She also worries a lot about her safety, especially in North Carolina, and she can tick off the names of a number of trans women of color who have been killed over the last few years. But, like Drew, Jaye was thrilled when Dr. Adkins handed her a prescription for estrogen. She planned to pick it up that day. At the end of the day, we met Dr. Adkins's last patient, Martin, and his mom, Karen (we decided to use pseudonyms for them both). Martin was born a girl and came out as trans a year and a half ago, after a long struggle with depression and anxiety. At first, his mom worried that this was one more expression of Martin's unhappiness. But Martin's transition has completely changed his outlook. His mom said he used to be withdrawn; when his depression was at its lowest point, he started cutting himself and had to be hospitalized. Now, she says, "It's more like we've become friends again and we've reconnected. I think it's because he realizes that I accept him for who he is and I'm going to support him." This fall, Martin plans to present as a boy when he returns to school in Raleigh. When we asked him which bathroom he’ll use, he told us it will depend how brave he’s feeling.
