Welcome to Series 4, Episode 008 of the WOD pod. Today I'm joined by GB ranked padel player Lucy Jones.We get into Lucy's journey into padel, the competitive side of the sport and why padel has absolutely exploded in popularity. We talk training, competition, mindset and just what makes this sport so ridiculously addictive.Let's get into it!

Pregnancy, birth, and postpartum care should support the whole person, physically and mentally. In this episode, Dr. Rebecca Dekker talks with board-certified OB/GYN and perinatal coach Dr. Jessica Vernon about how integrative medicine can create a more holistic and personalized approach to obstetric care.   Dr. Vernon explains how integrative care combines traditional Western medicine with complementary approaches such as therapy, physical therapy, acupuncture, yoga, breathwork, meditation, and nutrition. She also shares how her own experience with postpartum anxiety and depression transformed the way she practices medicine and deepened her understanding of the physical, emotional, and identity-related transitions into parenthood. Plus, get practical guidance for changing providers, asking informed questions after a prior Cesarean, and navigating the overwhelming, and sometimes unreliable, health information found through social media and artificial intelligence.   (00:02:03) Dr. Vernon's journey into obstetrics and the influence of midwifery (00:05:47) Understanding matrescence and the transition into parenthood (00:07:14) What integrative medicine looks like in pregnancy and postpartum care (00:09:59) Bringing perinatal mental health and integrative medicine into obstetric practice (00:12:19) Gaps in traditional perinatal care and the need for individualized support (00:16:59) Supporting parents after infertility, pregnancy loss, birth trauma, or a difficult postpartum experience (00:21:32) Why it is okay to change providers (00:24:31) How infertility and pregnancy loss can shape a subsequent pregnancy (00:27:25) Practicing evidence-based, person-centered care that protects patient autonomy (00:29:02) Finding trustworthy pregnancy information online (00:32:27) Balancing medical evidence with personal intuition and individual circumstances   Resources Connect with Dr. Vernon and learn more about her 1:1 perinatal coaching: https://www.drjessicavernon.com/ Follow Dr. Vernon on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dr.jessicavernon/ Then Comes Baby: An Honest Conversation About Birth, Postpartum, and the Complex Transition to Parenthood by Dr. Jessica Vernon: https://www.bloomsbury.com/us/then-comes-baby-9781538195925/ Matrescence: On Pregnancy, Childbirth, and Motherhood by Lucy Jones: https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/714054/matrescence-by-lucy-jones/ Free Postpartum Support International online support groups: https://postpartum.net/get-help/psi-online-support-meetings/ PSI Perinatal Mental Health Provider Directory: https://postpartum.net/get-help/provider-directory/   For more information about Evidence Based Birth and a crash course on evidence based care, visit www.ebbirth.com.

God is Still Warning of Earthquakes (1)  (audio) David Eells, 8/16/26  Saints, I want to share with you prophetic warnings we've been receiving from the Lord about the coming earthquakes. The following is what I believe.  Important: Some high magnitude earthquakes have been prayed down to a lower magnitude and it could be done so at any time. According to prophecies a large Japan quake will precede the large US earthquakes. Japan just had a 7.1 but this may not be the sign. They could have a larger magnitude earthquake, God forbid, – then 10 days of communication darkness for people in the U.S. to move to safety. The West Coast could experience a 9-something magnitude earthquake.  Then, New Madrid shortly after could have a 9-something magnitude quake. There will be smaller quakes in the Eastern US. For many years now, we have spoken about the earthquakes that precede the Man-child ministry and anointing. We encourage everyone to be spiritually prepared in faith and sanctification, and to be seeking the Lord for direction if He would have you move and where to go, provisions, etc. I want to go over some of these revelations with you today. We know we are getting close to these things coming to pass. Julie asked the Lord what the people needed to hear and pray about, and she heard “seven,” so she searched that under the dreams/visions page and the only one with seven in the title was Eve's revelation below.   Seven Earthquakes / New Madrid / Man-child Eve Brast - 04/23/2012 (David's notes in red) I dreamed I was high above Earth, sitting on the clouds and to the right of Tom Welling, the actor who plays Superman in the Smallville TV series. (This was odd to me because I don't ever dream of superheroes, but I understood the parable of Superman being Jesus in the Man-child with the latter rain anointing and supernatural abilities.) He was pointing and showing me places where earthquakes were to take place around the globe and telling me about them. But the strange thing is, the Earth was wrapped in a golden yellow tarp that was made of the same material as the yellow raincoat that my son Josiah wears. (It used to belong to my dad and is way too big for him, but he loves to wear it when it rains.)(This is a sign that we will need more than people think to protect from the storms coming? Primarily pray to God in faith.) On top of the raincoat tarp was the red outline of all the continents of the Earth, and each place where there was going to be an earthquake had an outline of a star in red. I only remember two places: one was around the Great Lakes (New Madrid) area in the U.S.  (The Great Lakes / New Madrid quake could be the one that destroys the economy and brings the anointing of the Man-child reformers.) (I remembered this one well because when I saw it in the dream, I thought about the American Earthquake Brings Revival dream of 3/14/12. (I share this dream below) The other was in South America. There were seven stars (earthquakes) altogether that He pointed out to me. This reminds me of the seven booms that I heard after waking up from the Forgiving the Repentant dream of 4/02/12. (I'll share the seven booms portion of that dream below.) I could not remember exactly how many stars were in the dream, but I was pretty sure there were seven, so I asked the Father to give me a verse with “7” in it and my finger was on: (Psa.119:79) Let those who fear You turn to me, those who know Your testimonies. I asked the Father for a confirmation verse, and my finger was on: (Jer.22:7) I will prepare destroyers against you, Everyone with his weapons: They shall cut down your choice cedars and cast them into the fire. Were the seven earthquakes around the globe on 4/11/12 a sign of something larger to come?   American Earthquake Brings Revival Eve Brast - 03/14/2009 (Deborah Horton's notes in green) | (David's notes in red) I dreamed that I was a teacher over a group of elementary school students and also a commander over a platoon of 30 soldiers at the same time. (Eve is a type of the Bride of the last Adam, Jesus, since Eve was the name of the first Adam's bride since history repeats. The Bride, Jerusalem, here has rule over the body of 30 soldiers.) As a teacher with my students, I resided in the heavenlies, which was indicated by the floor being transparent and having clouds around it. I could see the U.S. underneath my classroom. God's hand appeared to my right and caught my attention. (Mene, mene, tekel, upharsin?) (This saying was written by God's hand and finger and it meant the Babylonish kingdom in the US will be judged and divided and will come to an end, as the deep state is now. Dan 5:25-28 And this is the writing that was inscribed: MENE, MENE, TEKEL, UPHARSIN. 26 This is the interpretation of the thing: MENE; God hath numbered thy kingdom, and brought it to an end; 27 TEKEL; thou art weighed in the balances, and art found wanting. 28 PERES; thy kingdom is divided, and given to the Medes and Persians. (A type of Cyrus-Trump's kingdom conquering Babylon. Daniel, at that time, was a type of the Man-child who interpreted this judgment.) God's hand pointed down at the U.S./Canadian border. The hand and I descended toward the Great Lakes area. God's finger started pointing down to the ground near Michigan and then followed the U.S./Canadian border over to around Minnesota. Then He brought me in for a closer look and showed me a fissure that had begun in the earth. As He traced the crack with His finger, there was a huge earthquake. I heard the screams of many people falling into the rift that was opened in the earth. (A warning to question God if you are to leave the area?) (There have also been a lot of booms and small quakes in Michigan and Wisconsin around the Great Lakes area. (These can identify for you where the fault lines are for future use.) I was awakened to seven booms in real life. It definitely was not thunder. There was no rain, and the sky was not cloudy when I got up to type up this dream. The first boom rattled my window, woke me up, and made my heart jump. The first three booms seemed to be above-ground somehow, but the last four rumblings were from below the ground because I heard them through my pillow. [The booms in Forgiving the Repentant dream may have been earthquake activity. In another dream, the Statue of Liberty Falls to Its Knees at the New Madrid Seismic Zone and the “ground shook mightily.”]) Back to Eve's dream: I was then on the ground near the beginning of the fault line in Michigan with my students, but they were now soldiers. (A sign the students will have grown up when this quake happens and soldiers are needed after a large quake.) We marched down into the canyon that had been created by the fault line, and when we reached the end of the canyon, I saw the corner of a golden step pyramid, like those found in the Americas, sticking out of the dirt. God's hand came down and uncovered four golden structures from under the dirt. God's voice said, “This is Egypt”. (This reminds me of the parable of the servant who buried his talent in the earth, instead of using it to further God's Kingdom. America has been doing the same thing with all the gifts that she has been given.) (This shows that the root cause of the quake is that America is an Egypt and God's people are called forth out of her spiritually, even as He divides her with earthquakes and wars.) One structure was the four-cornered step pyramid with no capstone. (The Great Pyramid with the capstone missing is not Egyptian; it had no Egyptian hieroglyphics or art, as the others. The historian Josephus said that Enoch and his sons built it before the flood. A capstone on a pyramid is a “chief cornerstone”, Who is Jesus, and is missing and in Heaven. The Egyptian pyramids are inferior copies of it. The original Chaldean word for “pyramid” is “urimidden”, meaning “revelation measurements”. The Great Pyramid is mentioned in the Bible as an altar to the Lord, so it is prophetically Christian, not Egyptian. (Isa.19:19) In that day shall there be an altar to Jehovah in the midst of the land of Egypt, and a pillar at the border thereof to Jehovah. [The Great Pyramid fulfills this because it is on the “border” of upper and lower Egypt and in the midst of the country of Egypt.] (20) And it shall be for a sign [revelation measurements] and for a witness unto Jehovah of hosts in the land of Egypt; for they shall cry unto Jehovah because of oppressors, and he will send them a saviour, and a defender, and he [Jesus] will deliver them.) Within the Great Pyramid was a standard of measurement called the pyramid inch. With this, you could measure an outline of the history of man from beginning to end. A shaft went from the upper side of the pyramid to a pit, representing hell, beneath it. It is measured in length to represent the history of man in years. That history line was intersected by a passage that went to a room in the heart of the pyramid that was the exact size as the Holy of Holies, where the Ark of God, Jesus, would have resided. This represented the coming of Jesus to intersect that history line at the exact point in time when He came to save man's fall to the pit of Hell. So, God gave us this amazing witness in His Word. Also, the Great Pyramid originally had 144,000 polished limestones covering it before they were plundered. This represents the Man-child company mentioned twice in Rev.14:1-4. Back to Eve: One structure was a golden graven image of a queen of Egypt. (This reminds one of the Babylonish harlot ruling over God's people) One structure seemed to be a rectangular palace with large, tall pillars surrounding it. I can't recall what the fourth structure was, even though I asked the Father to reveal it to me. God's finger made the sign of the cross over the four-cornered step pyramid, and its corners slid open in the directions that the finger moved. Inside the pyramid was a solid gold throne which had no back to it. God pointed with emphasis to that throne. (Like the Great Pyramid, the heart of the Church is God's Holy of Holies, where His Ark and throne are. The mercy seat on the Ark of the Covenant was “a solid gold throne which had no back”. The one on that throne should be God Himself, not the queen or harlot of Egypt. Egypt usurped the throne of the Great Pyramid as its own. So she did with Israel, God's real building. In Isaiah 14:4,12,13, the king of Babylon, inhabited by Lucifer, said, “I will exalt my throne above the stars of God”, which God said is Abraham's seed. So, America, as a modern-day Egypt/Babylon, has and will usurp authority over the Church, which will be resurrected from its death and burial in the dirt of America. This speaks of a great revival because of this earthquake judgment on America. Then I was taken back up over the U.S. into the heavenlies where I was at the beginning. As I returned to my place, I asked God, “What about my mother?” (Being concerned for my earthly mother.) And I heard my earthly father's voice from behind me say, “It's too late for her”, and then I woke up. (In this case, the Bride's mother is America, just what Jeremiah 50:8 says of Babylon: “It's too late for her.” (Jer.50:10) And Chaldea [Babylon/America] shall be a prey: all that prey upon her shall be satisfied, saith Jehovah. (11) Because ye are glad, because ye rejoice, O ye that plunder my heritage [They did and will persecute and kill God's people], because ye are wanton as a heifer that treadeth out [the grain] [persecution to bring forth the fruit in God's people], and neigh as strong horses; (12) your mother (there she is) shall be utterly put to shame; she that bare you shall be confounded: behold, she shall be the hindermost of the nations, a wilderness, a dry land, and a desert. An earthquake tearing in the flesh of America will reveal the Great Pyramid symbol of the Church being born out of the travail of persecution.) When I asked for a verse for this dream and flipped my Bible open, my finger came down on verses 2-4 of Obadiah, but the Bible I have has an introduction to each book, so my finger came down on the sentence within the introduction, “God will bring her down”, verses 2-4. (Oba.2) Behold, I have made thee small among the nations: thou art greatly despised. (A sign of God bringing down from her thone the U.S. and destroying its economy through which it rules.) (3) The pride of thy heart hath deceived thee, O thou that dwellest in the clefts of the rock, whose habitation is high; that saith his heart, Who shall bring me down to the ground? (4) Though thou mount on high as the eagle, and though thy nest be set among the stars, I will bring thee down from thence, saith the Lord. Deb Horton: I asked for a word and my finger came down on: (Psa.21:10) Their fruit wilt thou destroy from the earth, And their seed from among the children of men. Eve: Also, several months later, when I was reading Isaiah 19, the Lord told me that this chapter was in reference to this dream. (This chapter is about God's judgment on Egypt and the Great Pyramid altar. Part of that judgment is civil war, just as the judgment on Babylon was division -- Daniel 5:25-28. (Isa.19:2) And I will stir up the Egyptians against the Egyptians (even now the U.S. is polarized by the left and right): and they shall fight every one against his brother, and every one against his neighbor; city against city, [and] kingdom against kingdom. (3) And the spirit of Egypt shall fail in the midst of it; and I will destroy the counsel thereof: and they shall seek unto the idols, and to the charmers, and to them that have familiar spirits, and to the wizards. (4) And I will give over the Egyptians into the hand of a cruel lord (Satan); and a fierce king shall rule over them, saith the Lord, Jehovah of hosts. We have many dreams that speak of Civil War in America as a tribulation judgment. In the Word, when the Beast came against God's people, God always divided them to save His people.) Here's a portion of Eve's dream about the seven booms: ….Then I was awakened (at 4:00 am) by a loud, crashing boom outside our mobile home that shook the window, followed by two more lesser, crashing booms, followed by four more (seven booms). After the booms stopped, I realized that a song was being sung in my mind. The lyrics were, “I can walk on water. I can fly. I will keep on fighting till I die.” (representing dying to self) (Since the Bride was hearing the Man-child's voice in her mind, could this be the Man-child ministry, who will also do these wonderful things, coming after the time of the booming sounds, representing earthquakes?) This is a song that was playing on a HALO Lego video that my son Elijah and his friend (whose name is Rebel, believe it or not) were listening to last week on the computer. HALO is a Navy SEAL acronym for High Altitude Low Opening. It describes a certain airborne jump they perform. (It is the safest method for parachuting into enemy territory while under fire. It is to free-fall as close to Earth as possible before opening the chute. This maximizes the chance of evading the gunfire. The Man-child will be coming to Earth very fast and will be under enemy fire from many enemies, including the DS and factious leaders, just as in Javier's dream where he saw three snipers shooting at David from the darkness of a tank, but they could not hit him.) I'm not sure how it fits with the dream, other than the lyrics seem to describe Jesus in the Man-Child. But the song seems to be a rebellious mantra against the establishment (of the apostate hierarchy). I asked the Father for a verse for the song, and my finger was on: (Lam.5:15) The joy of our heart has ceased; our dance has turned into mourning. (There will be repentance by the 70 saints who were forgiven in the Forgiving the Repentant dream.) I then asked the Father for two verses for the booms I heard that woke me up and got: (Eze.22:31) Therefore have I poured out mine indignation upon them; I have consumed them with the fire of my wrath: their own way have I brought upon their heads, saith the Lord Jehovah. (Sowing unforgiveness, criticism and slander always destroys the one who does it.) (Mat.7:2) For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured unto you. And (Eze.33:26) Ye stand upon your sword, ye work abomination (The sword of the Word is necessary to separate the sinner from sin and leaven.), and ye defile every one his neighbor's wife (by selfish lusts of the flesh): and shall ye possess the (Promised) land? No!   Midwest Earthquake of Epic Proportions Rick Sergent - 07/14/2008 (David's notes in red) The Lord first spoke to me about a major Midwest earthquake in December of 2003. Then on 7/14/08, He gave some details about this up-and-coming quake. It will happen soon, I believe. It will register on the Richter Scale as a 9-something. I believe it will be on the New Madrid fault line, maybe around St. Louis, MO? I heard these words in my spirit: “It will be of epic proportions”. This earthquake will permanently change the mindset of the people of this nation. It will alter the terrain on a large scope. It will never be the same. People from different nations will come to the aid of the U.S. (some may for ill intentions). Personal Notes: When I heard a “9”, I wondered if there was ever a verified 9 quake in the world. I may be wrong, but I only found three earthquakes. One was a1960 9.5 quake in Chile. The other one was on December 26, 2004, the tsunami that killed about 230,000 people. The U.S. Geological Survey says it was a 9.1. Others outside of this country said it was a 9.3. The 1964 quake in Alaska was around a 9, maybe(?) I do not want to sound like a doomsayer, but this quake may cause more deaths than any quake in the history of the world. I did research afterwards, and the tsunami quake of 2004 was the second in terms of deaths. The first one happened in about 1560 in China. That one claimed over 800,000 deaths, they say. In 2003, I had a friend who saw sea creatures in the spirit in Terre Haute, Indiana. She did not know why. I do not know if this is the quake that has been mentioned in relation to Lake Michigan or not, but it would not surprise me if it was. I believe it will be felt in almost all the states. The midsection of the U.S. will be the worst. (Also, the West Coast quakes around this time are prophesied to be terrible.) The big harvest or revival will come alongside great sorrows. Great Earthquake Impedes Travel, Drought Rick Sergent - 04/19/2012 (David's notes in red) On 4/19/12, I was not thinking about anything particular when I saw a vision of this woman on a horse. Her name is Mary. I know her. She is a mature Christian. Then I saw the word EARTHQUAKE in red letters. I have never seen those letters in red. I don't recall it; they have always been in black or an occasional other color. This word was right above her. I then saw these words: “Great Destruction Will Impede Traveling”. That made sense to me, why I saw Mary on a horse. (Also, Mary could be the woman Church who brings forth the Man-child, as it was with Jesus. Sandy and Audrey said she could also be the Church trusting in the strength of beastly flesh.) Then I saw the number 85. I did not know what this number meant. (Then, Deborah Horton sent us a dream that I David was restoring I-85 overpass or Passover. She didn't know about this dream.) After asking the Lord to explain to me about this 85, I received this revelation from Deborah Horton within two days and 85 is emphasized again. Here is a portion of it: There was a highway work crew repairing the overpass where I-85 goes over Highway 29. (The spiritual road crew represents those reformers who restore the paths to dwell in. (Isa.58:12) And they that shall be of thee shall build the old waste places; thou shalt raise up the foundations of many generations; and thou shalt be called The repairer of the breach, The restorer of paths to dwell in.) (Deborah: “Overpass” is a word play on “Passover”; if we want the Lord to pass over our sins, we must forgive everyone, but I was giving place to doubt and bitterness about a particular person when I had this dream. In real life, the place where I-85 passes over Highway 29 was chewed-up by heavy trucks going to and from the smelly, multi-state landfill. The landfill there is as large as a small mountain. Part of it was finally patched. So, we could say that the I-85 overpass/Passover has been kept in disrepair by trucks creating a mountain of garbage representing the magnitude of stinking thinking and ways of those who give in to factions and their false Jesus and apostate leadership. That would explain why, below, David was repairing the road. (Isa.58:12) ... The restorer of paths to dwell in.) (Deb later told me 85 is meaning 8 = New Beginning and 5 = grace. Highway 29 mostly parallels I-85, zigzagging back and forth across the path of I-85) From Rick's emails: In Deb Horton's dream, David was over a highway work crew, repairing the I-85. (Passover of Highway 29, which represents the earthquake, meaning God's people must be prepared through faith and God's works to escape these quakes.) In the natural, Highway 29 goes to the heart of Washington, DC, which speaks of the future quake. USGS says the epicenter of the 8/23/11, 5.8 quake was five miles S-SW of Mineral, VA, which is 84 miles to DC.. Wow, close enough! Number 29 may mean a second quake or judgment. (2 = second [and division] and 9 = judgment.) A portion of 29 between Greensboro, NC and Danville, VA will be upgraded to an interstate. They are naming the new interstate I-785. The point is that it is being made into a faster highway, meaning a quick time for the quake to hit D.C. without delay. Interstates do not have stoplights or stop signs and cross over multiple states. The earthquakes will be felt in multiple states. I did find it interesting that US Highway 29 dead-ends right where I-70 starts on the East Coast and moves west across the heart of the Midwest, all the way to the west to Utah, where it branches off with other interstates to Los Angeles on the West Coast. According to Wikipedia, the U.S. military wanted it that way to be able to travel from southern California to the northeastern United States (NYC). I am convinced of the spiritual revelation of the number 85 as a Passover and that these quakes are coming. But it is interesting that a Passover was being repaired on the I-85 interstate, going over Highway 29 and goes 84 or 85 miles from the epicenter of the last quake in VA to D.C., where the same 5.8 quake judged the Washington Monument and the Statue of Liberty by cracking them. Not a chance that is not a sign. We've had revelations that Government and Liberty will be changed by this. I am convinced that we must be entitled to the Passover of this judgment, which was paid for by Jesus, when it does come. Make sure your heart is right with God and your brethren by abiding in Jesus Christ.) In 2008, I gathered all the dreams on the New Madrid, splitting the country and compared what the timing looked like on each, and I came up with the theory that there were at least two big quakes in the New Madrid -- one at the beginning of the trib and one at the end when the nations come together to divide Israel for the last time. I shared this on the program at that time. In Brenda Schaunaman's dream on 10/12/08, I wrote: “This Midwest quake that divides the U.S. may happen twice, the last being the worst and dividing the country even more”. I do not doubt Rick may be right about a quake coming, but there was no year on the date part, which leaves open a very large quake at the end of the trib. I believe we will see a lesser but very damaging quake leading up to the tribulation when the Lord comes AS the latter rain on the Man-child body. Hos 6:3 And let us know, let us follow on to know Jehovah: his going forth is sure as the morning; and he will come unto us as the rain, as the latter rain that watereth the earth. (1Co.4:5) Wherefore judge nothing before the time, until the Lord come, who will both bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and make manifest the counsels of the hearts; and then shall each man have his praise from God. Back to Rick: A major quake of over 9 on the Richter Scale, as indicated in the prophecy Midwest Earthquake of Epic Proportions, would probably cause an economic crash, especially if coupled with the Western seaboard major quake, back-to-back, knocking out the electric grid for months. (It would cause much death and push over the edge all they have already done to resurrect the economy with the RV. It would also help to bring revival.) Rick: About less than a week before I had received this vision of the number 85, I was on the phone with a lady who was a customer. She brought up the subject of dreams and visions, not knowing I was her confirmer. She said that there were going to be two major quakes -- one on the East Coast (which was prayed down), the other one off the New Madrid (Which, because of that, will come just after the terrible West Coast quakes). She said the Lord showed her they would be one after another. I told her I agreed with her but thought the quakes would be days apart. I told her the last three quakes that the Lord has revealed to me are where quakes are not commonly known to happen. He first showed me the Washington quake months before it happened. Then He showed me the largest quake in Oklahoma's history, months before it happened. He also has shown me one in Nebraska, but that, of course, has not occurred yet. The lady then proceeded to tell me about a drought throughout the United States. She said states will be fighting over water rights with inland waterways and lakes. (As of July 2026, in the U.S., we are seeing approximately 38% drought; some areas are experiencing extreme drought from the East Coast and throughout the country towards the West. This fighting over water rights may also be because of the enormous amount of water needed for all the Data Centers they are building in several places in the States.) I told her in 2011, I saw a vision of a donkey walking with its head down from west to east on a map of the U.S. There was the word “famine” on the donkey, with sagebrush blowing around it. (The donkey is the symbol of the Democratic Party, which is failing.) Then, just last week (April of 2012), I received a call, and the person said one of the headlines in the Indianapolis Star read, Drought in all states except for Alaska and Ohio. I then proceeded to tell her I saw in a vision in 2011 of a radial arm saw making a cut just on the south edge of the Great Lakes. When it carved out the lakes, it went over to the Mississippi River and made a cut all the way down to the Gulf. Then I saw these words: “War over Water”. She seemed to be my confirmer, too. (There has been a water war with major rivers very low.) Note: Additional confirmations and revelation: 1) In March of 2011, I was given this vision from the Lord: I saw the word: Earthquake suspended over a map of the United States. Three golden rods came from the word Earthquake. One pointed to what I thought was just north of Washington, D.C., but it was difficult to determine because it was more like a geography map and was not showing cities. The second pointed to the Midwest and the third pointed to California. This seems to indicate the possibility of a series of quakes indicated in Sandy Shaw's dream, Series of Quakes Hits U.S., in a simpler form in my vision. (She mentioned these same places plus a lesser-known seismic zone in the TN Valley.) Sandy had hers in May of 2011. (These two revelations were true but when the East Coast large quake was prayed down the sequence of the other two large quakes changed. We believe now the West coast will precede the New Madrid.) 2) In Sandy's dream in the notes in red letters, David noted: “Their urgency may be to leave and get into new homes before the quakes because the New Madrid could affect her area in central Arkansas and at least IMPEDE HER TRAVEL”. (Rick: These are basically the same words in my vision I saw: “Great Destruction Will Impede Traveling”. And Mary on the horse/Man-child (4/19/12). David went on to say, “The Man-child will lead many into the wilderness prepared by this great destruction in the beginning of the tribulation”. Also a horse implies automobiles don't have gas or good roads like a wilderness. Update - 5/01/12 I received a major confirmation from my son, Jeremy. Jeremy texted me at 8:48 am on 5/01/12. I did not get hold of him on the phone until 7:16 pm the next day. First of all, Jeremy does not know anything about the vision of Great Earthquake Impedes Travel, Drought. Jeremy lives in Shreveport, in northeastern Louisiana. I had only told my friend Mary (who lives in Indiana) and one friend at work (who lives in Ohio). Jeremy prayed before he went to bed, “Lord, give me dreams or visions”. He awoke that morning wide awake, and he opened the Bible, and it was at Isaiah 24. He said, “Dad, I started crying and could not stop; it was like prophetic weeping”. (I call him Jeremiah sometimes, ‘The Weeping Prophet'.) He said he read the whole chapter and wept all the way through it. He said what was impressed in his spirit was economic collapse and a very big earthquake. (So much for the golden age.) He said, “Dad, I feel it is right around the corner, right at the door!” He later turned on the TV and said words were spoken, like a play on words from the TV. He said on the news they talked about the euro in trouble and the dollar also. He had not turned on the news for months. He said God seems to be confirming to him the judgment on the United States and the world. He said it's like people know it, but they are ignoring it or pretending it will go away. When Jeremy said that, a scripture came to my mind. I knew it was in Ezekiel 7, and I looked it up, and it was verses 25-26: DESTRUCTION COMES; they will seek peace, but there shall be none. DISASTER upon DISASTER, and RUMOR will be upon RUMOR. In my Bible, the subtitle above Isaiah 24 is Impending Judgment on the Earth. This thought then came to me: Eve Brast's dream of seven earthquakes around the world. I then noticed the Bible notes for Isaiah 24:1-6: “Its not clear what form the devastation will take. The imagery suggests drought and possible earthquakes. Such judgments have happened throughout human history and will be climaxed during the time before Christ's return, often referred to as the great tribulation”. I went on to read Isaiah 24:13: “When it shall be thus IN THE MIDST OF THE LAND among the people, it shall be like the SHAKING OF THE OLIVE TREE”. Verse 19: “The EARTH IS VIOLENTLY BROKEN. The EARTH IS SPLIT OPEN. THE EARTH IS SHAKEN EXCEEDINGLY”. Verse 20: “The EARTH SHALL REEL TO AND FRO LIKE A DRUNKARD, and shall totter like a hut. Its transgression shall be heavy upon it”. Let me share this transcript of a prophetic warning the Lord gave to Brandon Biggs, prior to the 7.4 Colombia earthquake that recently occurred on Monday, August 10, 2026.   The Lord Showed Us: It Was Coming A Shaking in Colombia link Brandon Biggs, 6/24/26  …. They felt that all over the place there would be Big earthquakes. What is this happening with the earth? The earth is shaking and rocking and reeling like a drunkard. The Lord said it was coming. The Word said it was coming. And so we're seeing the beginnings of it, the birthing pains. (It is the sign of the birthing of the Man-child ministry too) What are we about to see? Major shaking. Why? Because I told you Colombia will be shaken. Venezuela will be shaken. Cuba will be shaken, as we saw earthquakes; Cuba will be shaken. Why? Because it's a representation of what's happening in the spiritual realm. It is manifesting in the natural, and a great harvest of souls is coming to Venezuela and Cuba and Colombia. Watch, and it's going to spread through Brazil. Watch what happens. God is going to pour out His Spirit in South America. Watch.  Here's another clip Brandon posted on 8/10/26 about a recent volcano in Japan. So there is a volcano going off in Japan, like the Lord was telling us… I saw a lot of people go home because of this eruption. The Lord said, “Watch Japan; Japan's gonna split.” and I saw a major shaking hit Japan, and that's what we were seeing last night (livestream prayer meeting). I'm gonna shake…  He said, “California will have an earthquake that has not been seen in this generation.” A massive earthquake is about to happen in California.  …August 8th, an exploding fireball appeared, captured in Eastern Japan. Here is a Link to this article:  A two-kilometer column of smoke rose after another eruption of the Sakurajima volcano in Japan. The volcano began to become active on July 7. On the same night, surveillance cameras also recorded the glow. On August 8, ash was released from the Minamidake crater to a height of more than two thousand meters. The Japan Meteorological Agency predicts continued activity as magma accumulates deep underground. Near the craters of Nandake and Seva, there is a danger of falling large rocks. According to the researchers, this is the eighteenth eruption on Sakurajima this year. In the footage, the sky is filled with a black cloud of smoke, and local residents are hiding from the effects of the eruption. Brandon: The Lord says, “You will see fearful sights that will bring you to your knees.” And I say, watch the signs in the heavens. It will shake the signs in the heavens. Let me read this transcript of Brandon Biggs' revelation.    “The Lord Showed Me a Major Earthquake Along the San Andreas Fault Line” link  Brandon Biggs, 8/10/26 (David's notes in red) What did the Lord show us about the San Andreas? A week ago, the Lord told us to pray over the San Andreas. I said, “You're about to see a major shaking, and the water will boil. The water will come up out of the ground hotter than it's ever come out of the ground.” And I said, “You're going to see California have the ‘Big One'.”  And today, August 3, 2026, California's top earthquake expert issued a chilling new warning on the ‘Big One'. It could be tomorrow. He shows a clip from a news report:  “Scientists agree we are due for a massive earthquake along the San Andreas Fault. They just don't know when. But as Maribel Gonzalez reports, a new study suggests it may be coming sooner rather than later.  This simulation depicts Southern California's worst-case earthquake, a massive magnitude 7.8 rupture along the San Andreas Fault. [It could last] nearly 2 minutes of shaking. Experts say hundreds could die, along with billions of dollars in damage. This simulated earthquake rivals the powerful quake that struck Venezuela in June, highlighting their devastating impact.”  “It could go another 100 years. It could be tomorrow. It could be, you know, next minute.” said Dr. Lucy Jones, a seismologist at Caltech.  “But a new study warns the risk of a significant earthquake in California could be greater than previously believed, with even more widespread damage.”  “What we've found now is that, you know... stresses are naturally high, and they're actually in some places, the highest that we've seen in all of these 1,000 years,” said Liliane Burkhard, a geophysicist at the University of Bern. (You can see this interview here) Back to Brandon: And this is what I saw back four days ago. I saw a major earthquake, major hot geysers boiling even more. Water coming up out of Yellowstone. And I saw a shaking in California. A major shaking is coming to California. And the Lord said these earthquakes that will take place will be symbolic, that I'm about to have a major, major move of My presence upon San Francisco.  And I saw men without their shirts on, weeping before the Lord. (And the Lord was referring to homosexuality.) And He said, “Watch what I'm about to do.” In San Francisco, I saw perversion, weeping before the Lord. And I saw Portland; I saw Seattle; I saw British Columbia. I saw a major move of God coming to California in the days ahead. And a shaking of the earth, major shakings, earthquakes, and [destruction of] bridges and things like that.   We Are In Magnitude 7 Territory - Get A Tent Alison Pound, 08/10/26 There are going to be more earthquakes. A lot more. Larger magnitude. Like you just saw in Colombia, South America. Magnitude 7 and above are going to become a thing. China is going to have 3 x magnitude 7's - Not 6.9 but 7 and over. I am raising the mag. levels across the earth. Europe will have some mag 7's. Italy in particular. I will be destroying whole cities. Yes, you heard Me, whole cities. Various parts of the earth, across the nations. I have already told you Iceland will have some big quakes. Some of these (mag. 7's) will come before the California “Big One” that will be off the Richter Scale. And some will come after. This is how it will be from now until the end. The Ring of Fire will be lit up on your map. Remember I told you many years ago: look at the map, watch. (I regularly check the earthquake maps because God told me to ‘watch') I Am coming down to shake the whole earth one more time, one more season…… the final season. Everything that can be shaken shall be shaken. There will be landslides, large rock falls in mountainous regions. The landscape will be much altered in some areas. This is to be expected. Tell My people…. Camping gear! Tell them to keep camping equipment handy because some of them are going to need it. They will be living in tents. Many homes will not be safe to live in after earthquakes. Tell them if they do not buy camping equipment, tents especially, now, they will not be able to buy them later. (companies selling tents will be sold out) I told you it is TIME. I Am speaking about all that is happening and all that will happen from now on. It is time for all end time events to come to pass. You have been waiting. You will no longer be waiting to see these terrible events. Haggai 2:6 “This is what the LORD Almighty says: ‘In a little while I will once more shake the heavens and the earth, the sea and the dry land.” Hebrews 12:25 See to it that you do not refuse him who speaks. If they did not escape when they refused him who warned them on earth, how much less will we, if we turn away from him who warns us from heaven? 26 At that time his voice shook the earth, but now he has promised, “Once more I will shake not only the earth but also the heavens.”27 The words “once more” indicate the removing of what can be shaken—that is, created things—so that what cannot be shaken may remain. 28 Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, let us be thankful, and so worship God acceptably with reverence and awe, 29 for our “God is a consuming fire.” Psalm 46:1-3 God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear, though the earth give way and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea, though its waters roar and foam and the mountains quake with their surging.   Prophecy and the Destruction of California  Alison Pound, 08/07/26  Today, I went to the Lord to ask Him if He would allow me to write and publish on the subject of prophecy. What it is and what it is not. Whilst He agreed that many do not understand prophecy or even know what it is, the Lord did not want me writing about it. Instead, I was instructed to re-publish a warning for California. You will find that further down the page. The following is all of His reply:  People are going to be triggered. (He means that's a given) They won't like what I say. They won't receive what I say. What they do is go back to what they were taught. And they were taught by people who themselves don't know what prophecy is. They were taught it must be nice, kind, loving words, encouraging, positive, up-building. I have not the time to teach a people who will not listen to what prophecy is. You will keep on with posting what I will say to them until I stop speaking. They are not going to like anything I say. (He means you won't like what He says this time either) This is judgment hour, most especially for America and the American churches. It will be swift. The sentence will be swiftly carried out. It will be sudden. I will come upon them as I did with Sodom and Gomorrah. The people and place I Am talking about here have been given the warnings. There is time for just a few more. My prophets will speak one more time. And then the sentencing will be carried out. All I have said that I would do to California and surrounding states will be done. Japan will not get any more warnings. None. They will be hit first. Then California will have a short duration- hours only- before they are hit. I want you to know that I will have mercy, great mercy on some Christians on that terrible day. Because they will be out of the state, not in California. So these ones will survive to tell the story. They will, some of them, have sudden urgent business that takes them out of California. Some actual pastors, leaders of churches, will be away preaching, as will some others in the congregation. This (the aftermath) will be a terrible time for them, as they will be aware that they were spared. This is why I will spare them: It is so that they look at themselves afresh and at the State they so loved and are convicted. Repentance will flow in these ones. This is what I desire. This is what I prefer. I prefer repentance to destruction. It does not please Me to bring down these harsh judgments. But I Am a righteous judge and I will act righteously. All praise and glory to the Lord God Almighty, who is both merciful and just! The following Word from the Lord was first published on 1st January 2026, 7 months and 7 days ago. Reposting it here, as directed by the Lord.   TO WHOM IT WAS GIVEN TO HURT THE EARTH AND THE SEA I Am about to visit Japan. And then California also. Everything I told you I would do, I will do to them. I Am about to do it. I told you. My true prophets will know because I will tell them. Just before I do it, I will tell them. I will say to them, it is time. I will tell them to brace for impact. Because you, and they, will feel the impact of what I Am going to do. The shaking and the destruction of the earth and the people in those places will be immense. Shocking. It will be all that the survivors around the earth can talk about for a long time. That is, when they start talking. Because when this happens, at first, they will not talk. The shock will hit them. Some will then shake their fists in the air and will no longer follow Me. These ones did not know Me at all well before. But others will turn to Me in a big way. Prepare for this. Many will want to talk about Me suddenly. They will have questions. They will want to get right with Me. And My hand of mercy will be outstretched to these. Be ready to speak. Donald Trump is going. He will go shortly after California goes. And California is about to go. The seabed is in turmoil. Out of California, the underwater volcanoes are coming to life. Angels have been sent to command them to erupt. Angels are My messengers. They put My judgments into action. Remember the scrolls and the decrees? (The Book of Revelation, see below) Keep watching and waiting. When you see that Japan has had a magnitude 8 earthquake, a tsunami will follow. Then you will know California is next. The shaking will shift tectonic plates. I will shake the earth like a cottage. I have not told you this before, but this earthquake, the one that takes out California, will be felt further away than any earthquake before it. Other volcanoes in the vicinity will also erupt. Remember, I told you to keep an eye on the ring of fire? This is the time. This is the time when shipping will be interrupted and new paths will be found for the ships in order to bypass the volcanic activity. [In 2012 the Lord spoke about this, but I just did not understand at the time. He said: Way below the earth's crust, there will be a disturbance far greater than any before. Out upon the waters of the Pacific, there is going to be a disturbance that comes from far below. Shipping will be lost at this time. There will become an area that must now be avoided.] The Earth will never be the same again after this. Many, many sea creatures will die and will be washing up on far shores. This will go on for months. Dear one, this will be a terrible time for the people of the earth. Very trying. But incredibly, the wicked will continue to be wicked. It will be like they think time is short and they must get a whole lot more wickedness in before they go. Their hearts will harden, if that were at all possible. And although I Am in judgment mode and I Am very angry, I will be very controlled and perfect in all My judgments. You will have access to Me at all times. I will not be like the angry father here on earth who does not want to talk to anyone when he is in his angry mode. I do not want you to keep away from Me. But draw near and remain. This is the only way. Revelation 7:1 And after these things I saw four angels standing on the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth, that the wind should not blow on the earth, nor on the sea, nor on any tree. 2 And I saw another angel ascending from the east, having the seal of the living God: and he cried with a loud voice to the four angels, to whom it was given to hurt the earth and the sea, Please note: I now believe there may be 2  mag. 8 earthquakes in Japan, happening close together. The Lord will speak to me on a subject over a period of time, adding detail to what He first said. If I don't catch everything, He will repeat what He said at a later time. Reading through my journal, I found that He had said Japan would have 2x mag. 8 quakes, adding that a mag. 12 would also happen there but at a later time. I saw Mount Fuji erupt in a dream some years ago. That may also happen at the same time as the 2 mag. 8 quakes. There has been increased activity in the ‘Ring of Fire' and the fault lines in America. That may continue for a while, or it may not. Psalm 91 says, “Whoever DWELLS in the shelter of the Most High….”  We dwell (live, remain) in the shelter of the Most High by casting off the things of this world and its sinful practices. By being in intimacy with Him and remaining so, humble and obedient, walking in His Ways. The peace of God which passes all understanding, guard your heart and mind in Christ Jesus.   A Catastrophic Earthquake Is Coming, Get Out Now!  Karen Newsberry, 8/6/25 On the morning of July 29, 2025, at 8:16 am I heard the Lord speak; as I listened to His voice, I cried. I beg anyone who lives in California to please get out! Get out now! “Repentance falls on deaf ears; a nation once put under protection, MY protection, such divine and illustrated protection. The world is my footstool; have I not spoken of the many judgments coming to this world? For out of prophets and babes, even the children have spoken what I have shown them.  Destruction comes to a state far beyond the land where the depths of water abound.  California, I have called for your repentance and have heard few repent. Those that are in Me, I have heard. Sin abounds in your land; for the stench, I cannot bear. Sin is as a primary language for such a nation; California, your mountains will move out of their place, your waters will shake to and fro…your judgment is now! Your nation will look with fear in their eyes at what is coming. I have been mocked and scoffed at long enough by a stiff-necked people. America, this is just the beginning of what is coming. Trump will continue to do what he has been assigned to do, but his time is almost up, for division was his goal.” Please, a catastrophic earthquake is coming; leave! I've seen in a dream of the destruction; please heed the Lord's warning! Here is a portion of a video transcript from Brandon Biggs in December 2025, called:   A Major 8.4 Earthquake on the New Madrid Brandon Biggs, 12/14/2025  …. There will be great, great shakings in the nation. Great earthquakes! Great earthquakes. Great earthquakes. I see on the New Madrid... I see a great earthquake. And it will go, and it will shake, shake, shake. And it will be a sign. It will be a sign on the New Madrid. A sign's coming. A major sign. I see it all on this side. …. I see Missouri. I see Kentucky. I see Tennessee…. I see “8.4.” That's what I see. 8.4.  There will be a shaking in the Heartland. A revival is coming. I see drought; I see rain. He said this is weather manipulation and weather warfare….   Tennessee Earthquake Elizabeth Marie, 5/20/25 (David's notes in red) The links she provides below all document and track the Madrid quakes: Southeast Missouri Earthquakes in the Last Week Missouri Earthquake Track Earthquakes Near Tennessee 200+ Earthquakes Shake the New Madrid Fault On May 18, 2025, the LORD led me to this verse in Jeremiah: “The LION (Satan) has come up from his thicket, And the DESTROYER of nations is on his way. He has gone forth from his place To make your LAND desolate. Your CITIES will be laid waste, Without inhabitant.” Jeremiah 4:7 The ‘LION' in this verse is DEATH, coming from the hand of Satan, as it says in 1 Peter 5:8, who comes to destroy the cities and land: “Stay alert! Watch out for your great enemy, the devil. He prowls around like a ROARING like a LION, looking for someone to devour.” 1 Peter 5:8 He is that GREAT DESTROYER, like in the days of Moses, when the ‘destroyer' came into the Egyptians' homes and killed the firstborns: “For the LORD will pass through to strike the Egyptians; and when He sees the blood on the lintel and on the two doorposts, the LORD will pass over the door and not allow the DESTROYER to come into your houses to strike you.” Exodus 12:23 We are called to RESIST him: “Stand firm against him, and be strong in your faith. Remember that your Christian brothers and sisters all over the world are going through the same kind of suffering you are.” 1 Peter 5:9 After reading Jeremiah 4:7, I immediately felt great sorrow and started weeping for what is coming. In my spirit, I knew that the ‘heaviness' that I felt was concerning the destruction that is coming to the United States. I believe this includes EARTHQUAKES! The links above are about EARTHQUAKES that occurred in the last week near the New Madrid Fault Line, as well as the 4.1 earthquake in Tennessee on May 10, 2025. The one in TN happened approximately 30 miles south of Knoxville and was felt in several states, including all the way down to Atlanta, GA. I heard from many who actually felt it, who were hours away, and they said it felt like a train rumbling through their house. EARTHQUAKE DREAMS: I have received quite a few dreams concerning the New Madrid fault, along with confirmations from other prophetic people. The first one was posted in Z3NEWS back in 2016, about the CONNECTION of a 9.5 earthquake, and the DIVIDING OF THE LAND OF ISRAEL: “In this vision, I saw an outline map of America. I didn't see the state lines, but only the outline of the U.S. Then, the map zoomed to where the earthquake started and I saw a black dot pulsating on the epicenter. The dot was in the upper part of the middle of the country, however, I wasn't sure of which state. It seemed higher than the New Madrid fault. Then I saw ‘9.5' indicating the level on the Richter Scale. I was not given any dates or timing.” “I was also shown that if Israel is divided, so shall America be divided.” Then, more recently, on April 15th, 2024, I had this dream and posted it on April 17th, 2025: “I saw an outline of the MAP OF THE UNITED STATES. Then I saw a large RED TARGET BULLS-EYE pulsating in the area of the New Madrid Fault. Then I noticed smaller, red, bulls- eyes, all up and down the East Coast of America. I don't know how many, but at least 6 smaller targets were pulsating. END OF VISION” I was also shown about the LIQUEFACTION that often comes with an earthquake: SERIOUS EARTHQUAKE WARNINGS The LORD does not give me these things to bring FEAR, but to bring revelation and confirmations of HIS END-TIME PROPHECIES. I believe that HE wants each one of HIS children to seek HIM concerning these warnings, so that they might HEAR HIS VOICE, and follow HIS directions accordingly. For some, it might even mean to relocate….BUT only if, or when you hear HIS still, small voice. (I agree) “And behold, the LORD passed by, and a great and strong wind tore into the mountains and broke the rocks in pieces before the LORD, but the LORD was not in the wind; and after the wind an earthquake, but the LORD was not in the earthquake; and after the earthquake a fire, but the LORD was not in the fire; and after the fire a still small voice.” 1 King 19:11-12   Warning Words About a Coming Shaking!  Ken Dewey 7/27/26  Celeste and I have been praying, asking the LORD if we could take a short vacation from this work [at Desert Zion] just to REST and recuperate. When we asked this, we heard Him say: The LORD said: “Don't travel!” We ask Him, "Will the Financial System fail?" He said: “No, it will be jolted!” Jolted: definition: to strike, shake up, jar, as with a bumpy ride or with a sharp blow, to move along in a jerky manner. He said again: it will change. I asked Him how; He said to something more maneuverable.  “Yes, there will be changes in the landscape, great changes. Lives will be lost, and there will be positive changes too. There will be building damages and rebuilding.” “People will panic for essentials, so have them on hand. Some technology will fail. It must not be depended on. Depend on Me, I AM your LORD. Do not fear. Air travel will be suspended.” We have posted this Word of Warning, even as we have heard it spoken to us.  LORD, help your people to hear and be warned, and help them prepare.  ~ Desert Prophet Ken Dewey The light will shine in His glory… In the desert.   The Next Step, More of Me!  June 9, 2026 Celeste Dewey Our God is a practical God. This is a practical Word from Him for the days ahead. Some are wondering what to do to be ready for the coming shaking. The next step will definitely need to be clearly seen. This is what The LORD said to me: “The LORD says today, “I need more of your time! Push everything aside! You must stay alert and don't let any setbacks [in your life] bother you. Some people feel stretched beyond limits; they feel like they are doing all they can to keep going. Just open your hearts and be in the moment. You take care of your relationship with Me. Concentrate and focus on it! I will help you. Just give Me your time and attention; that's all! Do not be afraid to take the next step, more of Me. (This agrees with the Word Debbie Fenske received recently about not being afraid of the Lord and getting close to Him, which I share below.) Eyes of Promise, Hearts of Fire, watch Me mold them to be My instruments of promise for a purpose greater than any man could imagine. Watch Me use them for My Glory, for they will go farther with Me than any other. They will see Me move; they will see the change firsthand because their gaze is unobstructed. It is set on the One who formed them and fashioned them for something greater than themselves. See me move secretly, opening their hearts further and further to My Desires!”  Added Scripture to Consider: Psalm 51:10 Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me.  “I Love you, Yeshua!” I have posted this Word in obedience to my Holy Spirit teacher. God Bless you; you are in my prayers ~ Celeste Dewey   Do Not Fear My Love Debbie Fenske, 8/1/26 This is what the Lord began to speak to me as we were singing, No Longer A Slave. We are no longer slaves to fear.  “Yes, I say to you, My children, do not fear Me. Do not fear Me. Do not fear the great love I have for you. My love will draw you deep into Me. It's going to draw you deep into Me as you hang onto Me, and as you give Me all of your love. Do not fear where My love is going to be taking you. But look forward, expectantly, because you will know that My love has gone before you. It will be My love drawing you through your love for Me. So do not fear what I am going to be drawing you into. Because I will be drawing you into Myself. Deeper into Myself. Deeper into My love. Do not fear My love, My children.”  I felt that the Lord was using the song, Miracle Worker, to confirm that we don't have to fear. He is our Light in the darkness, and He's our Way Maker. And His love will lead us into dark places. But His light is in the darkness, going before us. Going through the darkness is helping us grow. We want all of God and we can trust Him in what He wants to do in us, because through it all He's our Light in the darkness, so we do not need to fear. He will always be our Light. Also, what came to me as I was typing this out was John 15. Out of His great love for us, it is His taking us through the pruning that will bring us deeper into Him.   Thank you Lord, for Your great love for us. We know there will be hard places that You are going to be leading us through. Even using us in. But we trust Your word to us, Lord. Thank You that it is always out of Your great love for us. And so we will not fear. We thank You that those You love, You prune. Thank You that in the pruning, through it all, You are bringing us to be Overcomers, and growing us more and more into Your image. So, we will not fear, because You tell us to not fear Your love. Thank You, loving Father. Amen.    Earthquake Warning for Wisconsin  Alison Pound, 08/14/26 link  August 2025  I Am the Lord. I Am here upon the earth for judgment. I will not relent in My judgments. I will not pause in My judgments. I Am a righteous God. All My judgments are righteous.  I will take America apart piece by piece. Until there is nothing left. She is a foul odor in My nostrils and a bitter taste upon My tongue. The cup is full. Full of America's iniquity.  I will not relent. There is to be another earthquake. A large crack will open up in the earth, many miles/kilometers long. I Am bringing this quake to a state where the people have long held Me in disdain. They are the rock'n roll state. Rock'n roll rules here. Unlike in the south where the blues is ‘it'. You do not know this state, and its fame.   But I have been watching them. My eyes miss nothing. The state of Wisconsin will have this earthquake. There will be many tremors ongoing after the California quake. But Wisconsin will have a large earthquake. The rock on which this state sits, deep down, has become quite thin. It is unstable.  There will be a division of the land. Eventually the USA will be broken apart top to bottom, north to south. Wisconsin has many farms, much produce. Feeding America. After this disaster they will no longer feed America.  

Welsh born designer Lucy Jones says she's been interested in fashion since she was a child, starting when her parents gave her a sewing machine.威尔士出生的设计师露西·琼斯表示她从小就对时尚感兴趣，这始于父母送给她一台缝纫机的时候。When I was 19 years old, I was really feisty, fiery, brave. I thought moving all the way to New York from Wales, where there are more sheep than people.当我十九岁的时候，我真的很活泼、充满热情、非常勇敢。我想从威尔士一路搬到纽约，在威尔士，那里羊的数量甚至比人多。I wanted to be the next big designer that was gonna have these glamorous runway shows.我想成为下一个能举办这些迷人时装秀的大设计师。I was never thinking about disability. I was never thinking about, you know, underserved people. And then something changed.我从来没有考虑过残疾人群。从来没有考虑过底层人群的需求。但是事情发生了转机。With most of the fashion industry serving the average healthy person, Jones didn't want to become just one of many. She wanted to be special.由于大多数时尚业都是为普通健康人服务的，琼斯不想成为众多时尚产业中的一员。她想要与众不同。I started talking with a family member who has cerebral palsy.我开始和一位患有脑瘫的家庭成员交流我的想法。And he said wouldn't it be great if things were more accessible, you know, doing up a pair of shoes independently and things I had never thought about.他说，如果能让残疾人群的生活变得更加容易就好了， 比如独立系鞋带之类的，这些都是我从未想过的。So Jones began to think about how a fashion designer can make the lives of disabled people easier and more beautiful.于是琼斯开始思考，时装设计师如何能够让残疾人的生活变得更轻松、更美丽。She raised this question with people she knew or found through social media, one of them Brianna Scalesse who models Jones's clothes, recalls the first time she saw the product.她向认识的人或在社交媒体上找到的人提出了这个问题，其中一位是为琼斯的衣服做模特的布里安娜·斯卡利西，她回忆起第一次看到这款产品时的情景。We were in a cafe and we were sitting down, and she just like pulled the product out of a bag to show me.我们在一家咖啡馆里坐下来，她从袋子里拿出这款产品给我看，And it was emotional for me, because I've been so used to growing up and being a person with a disability, kind of being ignored by the world and by fashion.我特别激动，因为我已经习惯了作为一个残疾人的生活， 我们经常会被世界和时尚界所忽视。The release of her first collection in 2015, coincided with the 25th anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act.其产品的第一个系列于2015年发布， 恰逢美国残疾人法案颁布二十五周年。And her work was noticed. Jones started with accessories that she presented at a special event.其产品引起了人们的关注。琼斯从她在一场特别活动中展示的配饰开始做起。A challenge many wheelchair-bound people face is, there is nowhere to put a hot drink as they wheel. So she designed a special cup holder and a purse holder.许多坐轮椅的人面临的一个挑战是，他们在推动轮椅时无处放置热饮。。所以她设计了一个特殊的杯架和一个皮包架。Just regular purses, you know, like trying to like just throw it over your shoulder, and every time I'm rolling, it's just falling down,like into my chair.如果是普通的皮包，我们一般会这样搭在肩膀上，可每次我滑动轮椅，它就会掉到轮椅上。And after that event, a number of people from the audience, ambassadors just said, I want to invest. Her products quickly became a huge success.在那次活动之后， 许多观众和代表都纷纷表示想要投资。她的产品很快就大获成功。

Lucy Jones is a journalist and the author of Losing Eden — an investigation into what nature does for the human psyche, written from inside her own recovery from depression — and Matrescence, a memoir-meets-neuroscience of the developmental transition into motherhood. The word was coined in the 1970s by anthropologist Dana Raphael and brought back into circulation in 2017 by reproductive psychiatrist Alexandra Sacks. Most cultures across human history have marked this transition with rites and rituals. Contemporary Western societies, broadly, do not.In this episode, Lucy and I talk about why the word matters, and why the built environment is a maternal mental health issue — narrow pavements, dominant cars, playgrounds without benches, libraries closing under austerity. Why Bogotá's manzanas del cuidado (care blocks) might be the most underrated urban infrastructure in the world. Why nearby nature — the cemetery five minutes from the door, the pocket forest at the bottom of the walk-up — is not a consolation prize but the entire point. How a community bioblitz, iNaturalist, and the City Nature Challenge can give a beloved patch of land enough teeth to survive a planning meeting. And the question I have been quietly reorganising my whole intellectual life around: what if we stopped asking how nature heals us, and started asking how to design communities that don't require us to heal constantly?Find Lucy at lucyfjones.com. Matrescence and Losing Eden are available wherever you buy books.

I'm recording this while driving to work—multitasking at its finest! I want to talk about my online course O Baby WTF because I created it to bridge a gap I felt when I became a parent. We get lots of information about birth and infant care when we're pregnant, but almost nothing about preparing for the experience of becoming a new parent. Since Lucy Jones wrote Matrescence and the term is finally getting recognition, it's more important than ever to prepare for this transformation. O Baby WTF helps you prepare yourself—your own story, background, thoughts, feelings, dreams, and expectations. It gives you a sense of what the experience might be like and how it might differ from what you're anticipating. The course centers on matrescence, the process of becoming a mother that impacts all areas of your life. I thought it would be me plus baby, a simple equation. But it's not. When you become a mother, you become a whole new version of yourself. Lucy Jones describes matrescence as a metamorphosis. When a caterpillar goes into a cocoon, there's a process of annihilation. If you dissected the cocoon midway, you'd find neither caterpillar nor butterfly—just a goo-like structure. During matrescence, there's a time of not being something solid, of being between forms. The version of yourself you've been all your life is no longer, but you're also not yet fully into this new mother version. You won't automatically feel solid in that role. That's completely normal. Matrescence has the same suffix as adolescence because it's marked by similar conditions—extreme hormonal fluctuations, body changes, internal and external shifts. Your brain chemistry adapts, hormonal levels fluctuate hugely. If you think back to adolescence and how awkward and conspicuous you felt, that's what matrescence can feel like too. Partners need to understand this. If your partner is currently a goo-like structure, your role is to be the cocoon—the strong, solid, protective layer that keeps her safe. The course covers four spheres affected by having a baby: you and your identity, you and your partner (when two becomes three), you and your community (friends and family), and you and work. For couples, I talk about dads spending as much time "on the pitch" as possible. Because mom breastfeeds, she ends up doing 90% of the effort and learns faster. There's no maternal instinct—just a steep learning curve. Anyone on duty more will be better at the tasks. We want dads involved from the start so they feel equipped and competent. The course also includes a five-part mental health toolkit—psychological tools you can use at any moment for those WTF moments. It's set up like a workshop where you take breaks, talk with your partner, answer questions, and reflect according to your own life. Once you have access on my website, you have it for life.

The BBC has had exclusive access to the world's largest study scanning pregnant women's brains. The BeMOther project is based in Spain and has found that women's brains change significantly through pregnancy and beyond. We learn more about the changes and ask why Matrescence - and the transformations that can come with pregnancy, birth and raising a child - are only just starting to receive attention as a distinct life-stage. There's even a campaign to get the word in US dictionaries. Nuala McGovern talks to Smitha Mundasad, a BBC health and science reporter who visited the trial in Spain for her documentary, Baby Brain: What's Really Going On? and Lucy Jones, the journalist and author of Matrescence: On the Metamorphosis of Pregnancy, Childbirth and Motherhood. Hester Musson's latest book is The Night Hag. It's a Victorian Gothic novel which takes place in 19th century Scotland. It delves into themes including the budding science of archaeology, spiritualism and folklore legends, but at its heart is the question of the role of women in Victorian society. A major global study says more than a quarter of healthy years lost to breast cancer could be prevented through lifestyle changes like cutting red meat, staying active and not smoking. The Lancet Oncology analysis shows cases worldwide are set to rise by a third, reaching over 3.5 million by 2050. We are joined by Professor Jayant Vaidya, Professor of Surgery and Oncology at University College Hospital, London, Dr Liz O'Riordan, a former breast cancer surgeon who herself has had breast cancer and is currently in remission, and Claire Rowney, Breast Cancer Now's chief executive, who has been recently diagnosed with breast cancer. Last week, news broke of the killing of one of Mexico's most dangerous men - known as El Mencho. He was killed by the Mexican military. He ran one of Mexico's most powerful drug cartels, the Jalisco Cartel New Generation. In response, members of his cartel torched businesses and buses across the country. But among the burnt-out cars, a new wave of posters appeared, with the faces and names of some of Mexico's 130,000 people who are either missing or disappeared – a tactic used by criminal cartels. The people taping their faces to walls are often their mothers, part of groups fighting to find out what happened to their loved ones. They are known as 'madres buscadoras' or searching mothers. Journalist Andalusia Soloff joins us from Mexico City, she has been following stories like these for years.Presenter: Nuala McGovern Producer: Helen Fitzhenry

Nick Butter is a man who's turned the word “impossible” into a to-do list.Once a finance professional chasing bonuses and deadlines, a chance meeting with a terminally ill runner made him completely reimagine his life. Within a few years, he'd left his job, sold his possessions, and embarked on one of the greatest endurance and logistically challenging feats ever attempted: running a marathon in every one of the world's 196 countries.It took him two years, 450 flights, and over a million pounds to complete - but it also transformed how he saw the world and what matters most.Since that record-breaking run, Nick's life hasn't slowed down. He's run the entire length of Italy, set a world record running 5,500 miles around the coast of the UK (averaging two marathons a day), recently appeared on the BBC's Destination X, and launched Run Weekends - global running adventures where pace doesn't matter, but connection and joy do. He also founded The 195 Foundation, a charity supporting causes in which give back to the places he's visited. In this episode, we dive into what “home” feels like after years of life on the move, the lessons Nick learned from running a marathon in every country on Earth, and how he's built a life centred on adventure, generosity, and human connection. We also talk about why he believes that a life well lived matters far more than a life well financed, and what his next big expedition might look like - and why, no matter what comes next, he'll always be “Mr Possible.”Follow Nick: https://www.instagram.com/nickbutterrun/Support the podcast: Get a whopping 65% off your first Gousto box at: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.gousto.co.uk/raf/?promo_code=TOM42277653⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Mentioned in the Podcast:Loosing Eden, Lucy Jones: https://www.penguin.co.uk/books/305463/losing-eden-by-jones-lucy/9780141992617 Run Weekends: https://www.runweekends.com/Factfulness, Hans Rosling: https://www.gapminder.org/factfulness-book/Destination X: https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m0024pz8Into the Wild, Jon Krakauer: https://www.worldofbooks.com/en-gb/products/into-the-wild-book-jon-krakauer-9780330453677?sku=GOR001376384Nick's 196 Foundation: https://www.the196foundation.com/Clockify: https://clockify.me/Read Nick's Books:Running the World: https://www.penguin.co.uk/books/439803/running-the-world-by-butter-nick/9780552176484Run Britain: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Run-Britain-Record-Breaking-Adventure-Coastline/dp/1787636410Join the mailing list:https://substack.com/@tombryanyeah?utm_campaign=profile&utm_medium=profile-pageGet in contact:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/tombryanyeah/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.facebook.com/greatbritishadventurespodcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.threads.net/@tombryanyeah

How should you bring up baby in the age of climate breakdown? Should you tell them what's happening or not? And given how messed up is the planet we're passing on - is it even fair to *have* kids? In a YBOC first this episode is a 3-way chat. Dave meets Nina Alexandersen and Sophia Cheng - respectively someone who became a climate activist through fear for her kid's future, and someone whose activism made them very ambivalent about becoming a mum, until something changed. We talk about all things motherhood and parenthood - like what it does to your brain, and whether you still have as much time to care about things like climate change.  And we discuss people who don't want to have kids because of the state of the planet: are they doing the right thing, or missing out on something core to being human? Let me know your thoughts on the show - hello@yourbrainonclimate.com. Please rate, review and subscribe, and share the show on socials. Please consider chucking this humble indie podcaster a few quid at www.patreon.com/yourbrainonclimate. Owl noises = references: 18:57: More on matrescence.

Description: …Today we're revisiting the profound biological, psychological and social shifts experienced when becoming a mother - a process known as "matrescence.” Jen sits down with science journalist Lucy Jones, who experienced a seismic identity shift that arose after the birth of her first child.   Lucy and Jen unpack groundbreaking neuroscience research and they expose the deep-rooted myths and unrealistic expectations surrounding modern motherhood. From the minimizing of postpartum struggles to the pressure of "natural birthing" ideals, Lucy reveals how these systemic fictions can breed shame, isolation and maternal mental health crises. Jen and Lucy discuss: The concept of "matrescence" - the biological, psychological and social transition to becoming a mother that renders profound identity changes How modern cultural myths and idealized notions of motherhood as blissful and "natural" can be deeply alienating and contribute to maternal mental health issues The systemic lack of scientific research and societal rituals to prepare and support women through the seismic transformation of matrescence The need to construct new narratives, share vulnerable experiences, and build community care around the modern realities of the matrescence * * * Thought-Provoking Quotes: “[Matrescence] is a very simple concept that means the process of becoming a mother. The word is a little bit like 'adolescence'. It was coined by the late American anthropologist Dana Rafael in the 70's. She also coined the word 'doula'. She first wrote about it in an essay collection published in 1974 where she talks about how, in most societies and cultures across the world, people have always had a sense that a mother is born when a baby is born. But she also describes your identity, your social relationships, your roles, your everyday life, your mind, your psychology, and your emotions." - Lucy Jones Resources Mentioned in This Episode: Matrescence by Lucy Jones – Read here Foxes Unearthed by Lucy Jones – Read here Losing Eden by Lucy Jones – Read here Dana Raphael (American Anthropologist) – Learn more “The Birth of a Mother” by Alexandra Sacks (NYT article) – Read here 2017 NIH Study on Pregnancy and the Brain – Read here Of Woman Born by Adrienne Rich – Read here Andrea O'Reilly (Motherhood scholar) – Learn more Guest's Links: Lucy's Website: lucyfjones.com Lucy's X: @lucyjones Instagram: @lucyfjones Facebook: Lucy Jones Books Connect with Jen!Jen's Website - https://jenhatmaker.com/ Jen's Instagram - https://instagram.com/jenhatmakerJen's Twitter - https://twitter.com/jenHatmaker/ Jen's Facebook - https://facebook.com/jenhatmakerJen's YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/user/JenHatmaker The For the Love Podcast is presented by Audacy.  To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.

What do you know about matrescence? Most people will agree that everything changes with parenthood, and that's what this term covers: the process of becoming a mother.

In this episode, we delve into what's lacking in support for matrescence and why, and how ongoing research, policy changes, and sharing information through resources like Lucy's book can help change the conversation. Whether you're already a mother, are considering becoming one, or support one in any way, Lucy's insights will be enlightening and empowering.Discover the details of matrescence and why we need to talk more about it:The origins and importance of having a word for this universal, natural experience;The impact of not having enough information in the early months and years of parenthood;The permanent changes the brain goes through during this period;The social disconnect between the expectation to give birth and the lack of support.Related Links:Matrescence: On Pregnancy, Childbirth, and Motherhood by Lucy Jones - https://bookshop.org/p/books/matrescence-on-the-mind-body-spirit-transformations-of-pregnancy-childbirth-and-motherhood-lucy-jones/20398692Lucy's website - https://lucyfjones.com/Discover all of Lucy's books: https://lucyfjones.com/books/Lucy on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/lucyfjones/Episode 333, An Honest Look Into Motherhood and Health - https://www.bossedup.org/podcast/episode333Episode 488, Talking Menopause at Work - https://www.bossedup.org/podcast/episode488Pregnancy leads to long-lasting changes in human brain structure, Nature Neuroscience - https://www.nature.com/articles/nn.4458The Birth Of A Mother by Alexandra Sacks - https://www.nytimes.com/2017/05/08/well/family/the-birth-of-a-mother.htmlOf Woman Born: Motherhood as Experience and Institution by Adrienne Rich - https://bookshop.org/p/books/of-woman-born-motherhood-as-experience-and-institution-adrienne-rich/8794956?ean=9780393541427LEVEL UP: a Leadership Accelerator for Women on the Rise - https://www.bossedup.org/levelupBossed Up Courage Community - https://www.facebook.com/groups/927776673968737/Bossed Up LinkedIn Group - https://www.linkedin.com/groups/7071888/

When journalist Lucy Jones had her first baby, she noticed remarkable changes taking place - not only was her body changing, but so too was her own psychology. By her third child, Lucy went searching for answers to her questions. What she discovered was "matrescence," a term coined by psychiatrist Alexandra Sacks that put into words the enormity of her own transformation. So she wrote a book about it, titled Matrescence: On the Metamorphosis of Pregnancy, Childbirth and Motherhood. In this moving interview, hear Ricki in conversation with Lucy, discussing the spectacular, life-changing shift that takes place for women during motherhood.

There's nothing better than a really good laugh. What's even better is, laughing offers some excellent health benefits too. I begin this episode by explain how laughter may just be the best medicine. https://www.womenshealthmag.com/life/a19968254/live-laugh-love/ For centuries, humans have been drinking alcohol. Why do people drink? Is it really the taste, the smell and all the nuances of your drink of choice or is it really just for the buzz? Why are some people able to drink socially while other people have had their lives destroyed by alcohol? Could it be that we would have never achieved all the advancements of our civilization had we not had alcohol to drink? Listen as I explore these and other questions with my guest Edward Slingerland. He is a professor of philosophy at the University of British Columbia and author of the book Drunk: How we Slipped, Danced, and Stumbled our way to Civilization (https://amzn.to/2WONrif) There is a smell that happens after it rains. And interestingly, smelling that smell is good for you. That's just one of many reasons why we all should be spending more time outside in nature according to my guest Lucy Jones who has researched the science regarding the amazing benefits of being in simply being out in the natural world. Lucy is the author of the book Losing Eden: Our Fundamental Need for the Natural World and Its Ability to Heal Body and Soul (https://amzn.to/3j7YUky). Listen as she explains why it doesn't take much to get the mental and physical benefits nature has to offer.  On a job interview, there is a bit of a dilemma: You want to look good so you think you should maybe brag a bit about your accomplishments. On the other hand, a little modesty might be good too. Which is better? It depends on who you are.
