Welcome to BE ENCOURAGED! Podcast! This is episode number 47! Encouragement needed to support one another through the milestones, but also in the NOT so bright days of our lives! Today's conversations is on a very hard topic: Losing a loved one. Even just speaking that sentence out loud does not bring a very encouraging tone. It's a tough one to talk about. When you love hard, you grieve hard! Also, there's a lot to process and unpack, when a wave like that, hits. That's why I want you all to listen in to my guest speaker Amber Dewire. She bravely shares her story and offers up hope, peace, wisdom, and comfort. Amber is also a writer of the blog called, Ministry of Cullen. https://ministryofcullen.wordpress.com/ I have read her writings and I am always amazed at how she points it all back to her faith and trust in God at the end. In this episode, Amber touches on how she untangled and still untangles the sadness, trauma, and guilt that she experienced and experiences. Let's face it, sometimes life can feel like the waves of grief are never ending, but with her story --- I pray it will bring you wisdom, hope, comfort, and peace! I want to thank Amber as she was courageously vulnerable here! That takes courage! The Ministry of Cullen is an example of how much God loves us and wants to make us whole again, even when we experience terrible heartbreak and brokenness. I pray this brings you peace and comfort as we are all reminded that Life is a fragile gift and to be thankful for each day we get to be in it with the people we love! So Pull up a seat, get cozy and ....BE ENCOURAGED!

[While Bob & Cheryl Enyart go fishing we invite you to enjoy from the RSR archives our favorite List of Not So Old Things! Photos from today, June 25, 2021.] -- Finches Diversify in Decades, Opals Form in Months, Man's Genetic Diversity in 200 Generations, C-14 Everywhere: Real Science Radio hosts Bob Enyart and Fred Williams present their classic program that led to the audience-favorites rsr.org/list-shows! See below and hear on today's radio program our list of Not So Old and Not So Slow Things! From opals forming in months to man's genetic diversity in 200 generations, and with carbon 14 everywhere it's not supposed to be (including in diamonds and dinosaur bones!), scientific observations fill the guys' most traditional list challenging those who claim that the earth is billions of years old. Many of these scientific finds demand a re-evaluation of supposed million and billion-year ages. * Finches Adapt in 17 Years, Not 2.3 Million: Charles Darwin's finches are claimed to have taken 2,300,000 years to diversify from an initial species blown onto the Galapagos Islands. Yet individuals from a single finch species on a U.S. Bird Reservation in the Pacific were introduced to a group of small islands 300 miles away and in at most 17 years, like Darwin's finches, they had diversified their beaks, related muscles, and behavior to fill various ecological niches. Hear about this also at rsr.org/spetner. * Opals Can Form in "A Few Months" And Don't Need 100,000 Years: A leading authority on opals, Allan W. Eckert, observed that, "scientific papers and textbooks have told that the process of opal formation requires tens of thousands of years, perhaps hundreds of thousands... Not true." A 2011 peer-reviewed paper in a geology journal from Australia, where almost all the world's opal is found, reported on the: "new timetable for opal formation involving weeks to a few months and not the hundreds of thousands of years envisaged by the conventional weathering model." (And apparently, per a 2019 report from Entomology Today, opals can even form around insects!) More knowledgeable scientists resist the uncritical, group-think insistence on false super-slow formation rates (as also for manganese nodules, gold veins, stone, petroleum, canyons and gullies, and even guts, all below). Regarding opals, Darwinian bias led geologists to long ignore possible quick action, as from microbes, as a possible explanation for these mineraloids. For both in nature and in the lab, opals form rapidly, not even in 10,000 years, but in weeks. See this also from creationists by a geologist, a paleobiochemist, and a nuclear chemist. * Finches Speciate in Two Generations vs Two Million Years for Darwin's Birds? Darwin's finches on the Galapagos Islands are said to have diversified into 14 species over a period of two million years. But in 2017 the journal Science reported a newcomer to the Island which within two generations spawned a reproductively isolated new species. In another instance as documented by Lee Spetner, a hundred birds of the same finch species introduced to an island cluster a 1,000 kilometers from Galapagos diversified into species with the typical variations in beak sizes, etc. "If this diversification occurred in less than seventeen years," Dr. Spetner asks, "why did Darwin's Galapagos finches [as claimed by evolutionists] have to take two million years?" * Blue Eyes Originated Not So Long Ago: Not a million years ago, nor a hundred thousand years ago, but based on a peer-reviewed paper in Human Genetics, a press release at Science Daily reports that, "research shows that people with blue eyes have a single, common ancestor. A team at the University of Copenhagen have tracked down a genetic mutation which took place 6-10,000 years ago and is the cause of the eye colour of all blue-eyed humans alive on the planet today." * Adding the Entire Universe to our List of Not So Old Things? Based on March 2019 findings from Hubble, Nobel laureate Adam Riess of the Space Telescope Science Institute and his co-authors in the Astrophysical Journal estimate that the universe is about a billion years younger than previously thought! Then in September 2019 in the journal Science, the age dropped precipitiously to as low as 11.4 billion years! Of course, these measurements also further squeeze the canonical story of the big bang chronology with its many already existing problems including the insufficient time to "evolve" distant mature galaxies, galaxy clusters, superclusters, enormous black holes, filaments, bubbles, walls, and other superstructures. So, even though the latest estimates are still absurdly too old (Google: big bang predictions, and click on the #1 ranked article, or just go on over there to rsr.org/bb), regardless, we thought we'd plop the whole universe down on our List of Not So Old Things! * After the Soft Tissue Discoveries, NOW Dino DNA: When a North Carolina State University paleontologist took the Tyrannosaurus Rex photos to the right of original biological material, that led to the 2016 discovery of dinosaur DNA, So far researchers have also recovered dinosaur blood vessels, collagen, osteocytes, hemoglobin, red blood cells, and various proteins. As of May 2018, twenty-six scientific journals, including Nature, Science, PNAS, PLoS One, Bone, and Journal of Vertebrate Paleontology, have confirmed the discovery of biomaterial fossils from many dinosaurs! Organisms including T. Rex, hadrosaur, titanosaur, triceratops, Lufengosaur, mosasaur, and Archaeopteryx, and many others dated, allegedly, even hundreds of millions of years old, have yielded their endogenous, still-soft biological material. See the web's most complete listing of 100+ journal papers (screenshot, left) announcing these discoveries at bflist.rsr.org and see it in layman's terms at rsr.org/soft. * Rapid Stalactites, Stalagmites, Etc.: A construction worker in 1954 left a lemonade bottle in one of Australia's famous Jenolan Caves. By 2011 it had been naturally transformed into a stalagmite (below, right). Increasing scientific knowledge is arguing for rapid cave formation (see below, Nat'l Park Service shrinks Carlsbad Caverns formation estimates from 260M years, to 10M, to 2M, to it "depends"). Likewise, examples are growing of rapid formations with typical chemical make-up (see bottle, left) of classic stalactites and stalagmites including:- in Nat'l Geo the Carlsbad Caverns stalagmite that rapidly covered a bat - the tunnel stalagmites at Tennessee's Raccoon Mountain - hundreds of stalactites beneath the Lincoln Memorial - those near Gladfelter Hall at Philadelphia's Temple University (send photos to Bob@rsr.org) - hundreds of stalactites at Australia's zinc mine at Mt. Isa. - and those beneath Melbourne's Shrine of Remembrance. * Most Human Mutations Arose in 200 Generations: From Adam until Real Science Radio, in only 200 generations! The journal Nature reports The Recent Origin of Most Human Protein-coding Variants. As summarized by geneticist co-author Joshua Akey, "Most of the mutations that we found arose in the last 200 generations or so" (the same number previously published by biblical creationists). Another 2012 paper, in the American Journal of Physical Anthropology (Eugenie Scott's own field) on High mitochondrial mutation rates, shows that one mitochondrial DNA mutation occurs every other generation, which, as creationists point out, indicates that mtEve would have lived about 200 generations ago. That's not so old! * National Geographic's Not-So-Old Hard-Rock Canyon at Mount St. Helens: As our List of Not So Old Things (this web page) reveals, by a kneejerk reaction evolutionary scientists assign ages of tens or hundreds of thousands of years (or at least just long enough to contradict Moses' chronology in Genesis.) However, with closer study, routinely, more and more old ages get revised downward to fit the world's growing scientific knowledge. So the trend is not that more information lengthens ages, but rather, as data replaces guesswork, ages tend to shrink until they are consistent with the young-earth biblical timeframe. Consistent with this observation, the May 2000 issue of National Geographic quotes the U.S. Forest Service's scientist at Mount St. Helens, Peter Frenzen, describing the canyon on the north side of the volcano. "You'd expect a hard-rock canyon to be thousands, even hundreds of thousands of years old. But this was cut in less than a decade." And as for the volcano itself, while again, the kneejerk reaction of old-earthers would be to claim that most geologic features are hundreds of thousands or millions of years old, the atheistic National Geographic magazine acknowledges from the evidence that Mount St. Helens, the volcanic mount, is only about 4,000 years old! See below and more at rsr.org/mount-st-helens. * Mount St. Helens Dome Ten Years Old not 1.7 Million: Geochron Laboratories of Cambridge, Mass., using potassium-argon and other radiometric techniques claims the rock sample they dated, from the volcano's dome, solidified somewhere between 340,000 and 2.8 million years ago. However photographic evidence and historical reports document the dome's formation during the 1980s, just ten years prior to the samples being collected. With the age of this rock known, radiometric dating therefore gets the age 99.99999% wrong. * Devils Hole Pupfish Isolated Not for 13,000 Years But for 100: Secular scientists default to knee-jerk, older-than-Bible-age dates. However, a tiny Mojave desert fish is having none of it. Rather than having been genetically isolated from other fish for 13,000 years (which would make this small school of fish older than the Earth itself), according to a paper in the journal Nature, actual measurements of mutation rates indicate that the genetic diversity of these Pupfish could have been generated in about 100 years, give or take a few. * Polystrates like Spines and Rare Schools of Fossilized Jellyfish: Previously, seven sedimentary layers in Wisconsin had been described as taking a million years to form. And because jellyfish have no skeleton, as Charles Darwin pointed out, it is rare to find them among fossils. But now, reported in the journal Geology, a school of jellyfish fossils have been found throughout those same seven layers. So, polystrate fossils that condense the time of strata deposition from eons to hours or months, include: - Jellyfish in central Wisconsin were not deposited and fossilized over a million years but during a single event quick enough to trap a whole school. (This fossil school, therefore, taken as a unit forms a polystrate fossil.) Examples are everywhere that falsify the claims of strata deposition over millions of years. - Countless trilobites buried in astounding three dimensionality around the world are meticulously recovered from limestone, much of which is claimed to have been deposited very slowly. Contrariwise, because these specimens were buried rapidly in quickly laid down sediments, they show no evidence of greater erosion on their upper parts as compared to their lower parts.- The delicacy of radiating spine polystrates, like tadpole and jellyfish fossils, especially clearly demonstrate the rapidity of such strata deposition. - A second school of jellyfish, even though they rarely fossilized, exists in another locale with jellyfish fossils in multiple layers, in Australia's Brockman Iron Formation, constraining there too the rate of strata deposition. By the way, jellyfish are an example of evolution's big squeeze. Like galaxies evolving too quickly, galaxy clusters, and even human feet (which, like Mummy DNA, challenge the Out of Africa paradigm), jellyfish have gotten into the act squeezing evolution's timeline, here by 200 million years when they were found in strata allegedly a half-a-billion years old. Other examples, ironically referred to as Medusoid Problematica, are even found in pre-Cambrian strata. - 171 tadpoles of the same species buried in diatoms. - Leaves buried vertically through single-celled diatoms powerfully refute the claimed super-slow deposition of diatomaceous rock. - Many fossils, including a Mesosaur, have been buried in multiple "varve" layers, which are claimed to be annual depositions, yet they show no erosional patterns that would indicate gradual burial (as they claim, absurdly, over even thousands of years). - A single whale skeleton preserved in California in dozens of layers of diatom deposits thus forming a polystrate fossil. - 40 whales buried in the desert in Chile. "What's really interesting is that this didn't just happen once," said Smithsonian evolutionist Dr. Nick Pyenson. It happened four times." Why's that? Because "the fossil site has at least four layers", to which Real Science Radio's Bob Enyart replies: "Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha", with RSR co-host Fred Williams thoughtfully adding, "Ha ha!" * Polystrate Trees: Examples abound around the world of polystrate trees: - Yellowstone's petrified polystrate forest (with the NPS exhibit sign removed; see below) with successive layers of rootless trees demonstrating the rapid deposition of fifty layers of strata. - A similarly formed polystrate fossil forest in France demonstrating the rapid deposition of a dozen strata. - In a thousand locations including famously the Fossil Cliffs of Joggins, Nova Scotia, polystrate fossils such as trees span many strata. - These trees lack erosion: Not only should such fossils, generally speaking, not even exist, but polystrates including trees typically show no evidence of erosion increasing with height. All of this powerfully disproves the claim that the layers were deposited slowly over thousands or millions of years. In the experience of your RSR radio hosts, evolutionists commonly respond to this hard evidence with mocking. See CRSQ June 2006, ICR Impact #316, and RSR 8-11-06 at KGOV.com. * Yellowstone Petrified Trees Sign Removed: The National Park Service removed their incorrect sign (see left and more). The NPS had claimed that in dozens of different strata over a 40-square mile area, many petrified trees were still standing where they had grown. The NPS eventually removed the sign partly because those petrified trees had no root systems, which they would have had if they had grown there. Instead, the trees of this "fossil forest" have roots that are abruptly broken off two or three feet from their trunks. If these mature trees actually had been remnants of sequential forests that had grown up in strata layer on top of strata layer, 27 times on Specimen Ridge (and 50 times at Specimen Creek), such a natural history implies passage of more time than permitted by biblical chronology. So, don't trust the National Park Service on historical science because they're wrong on the age of the Earth. * Wood Petrifies Quickly: Not surprisingly, by the common evolutionary knee-jerk claim of deep time, "several researchers believe that several millions of years are necessary for the complete formation of silicified wood". Our List of Not So Old and Not So Slow Things includes the work of five Japanese scientists who proved creationist research and published their results in the peer-reviewed journal Sedimentary Geology showing that wood can and does petrify rapidly. Modern wood significantly petrified in 36 years these researchers concluded that wood buried in strata could have been petrified in "a fairly short period of time, in the order of several tens to hundreds of years." * The Scablands: The primary surface features of the Scablands, which cover thousands of square miles of eastern Washington, were long believed to have formed gradually. Yet, against the determined claims of uniformitarian geologists, there is now overwhelming evidence as presented even in a NOVA TV program that the primary features of the Scablands formed rapidly from a catastrophic breach of Lake Missoula causing a massive regional flood. Of course evolutionary geologists still argue that the landscape was formed over tens of thousands of years, now by claiming there must have been a hundred Missoula floods. However, the evidence that there was Only One Lake Missoula Flood has been powerfully reinforced by a University of Colorado Ph.D. thesis. So the Scablands itself is no longer available to old-earthers as de facto evidence for the passage of millions of years. * The Heart Mountain Detachment: in Wyoming just east of Yellowstone, this mountain did not break apart slowly by uniformitarian processes but in only about half-an-hour as widely reported including in the evolutionist LiveScience.com, "Land Speed Record: Mountain Moves 62 Miles in 30 Minutes." The evidence indicates that this mountain of rock covering 425 square miles rapidly broke into 50 pieces and slid apart over an area of more than 1,300 square miles in a biblical, not a "geological," timeframe. * "150 Million" year-old Squid Ink Not Decomposed: This still-writable ink had dehydrated but had not decomposed! The British Geological Survey's Dr. Phil Wilby, who excavated the fossil, said, "It is difficult to imagine how you can have something as soft and sloppy as an ink sac fossilised in three dimensions, still black, and inside a rock that is 150 million years old." And the Daily Mail states that, "the black ink was of exactly the same structure as that of today's version", just desiccated. And Wilby added, "Normally you would find only the hard parts like the shell and bones fossilised but... these creatures... can be dissected as if they are living animals, you can see the muscle fibres and cells. It is difficult to imagine... The structure is similar to ink from a modern squid so we can write with it..." Why is this difficult for evolutionists to imagine? Because as Dr. Carl Wieland writes, "Chemical structures 'fall apart' all by themselves over time due to the randomizing effects of molecular motion." Decades ago Bob Enyart broadcast a geology program about Mount St. Helens' catastrophic destruction of forests and the hydraulic transportation and upright deposition of trees. Later, Bob met the chief ranger from Haleakala National Park on Hawaii's island of Maui, Mark Tanaka-Sanders. The ranger agreed to correspond with his colleague at Yellowstone to urge him to have the sign removed. Thankfully, it was then removed. (See also AIG, CMI, and all the original Yellowstone exhibit photos.) Groundbreaking research conducted by creation geologist Dr. Steve Austin in Spirit Lake after Mount St. Helens eruption provided a modern-day analog to the formation of Yellowstone fossil forest. A steam blast from that volcano blew over tens of thousands of trees leaving them without attached roots. Many thousands of those trees were floating upright in Spirit Lake, and began sinking at varying rates into rapidly and sporadically deposited sediments. Once Yellowstone's successive forest interpretation was falsified (though like with junk DNA, it's too big to fail, so many atheists and others still cling to it), the erroneous sign was removed. * Asiatic vs. European Honeybees: These two populations of bees have been separated supposedly for seven million years. A researcher decided to put the two together to see what would happen. What we should have here is a failure to communicate that would have resulted after their "language" evolved over millions of years. However, European and Asiatic honeybees are still able to communicate, putting into doubt the evolutionary claim that they were separated over "geologic periods." For more, see the Public Library of Science, Asiatic Honeybees Can Understand Dance Language of European Honeybees. (Oh yeah, and why don't fossils of poorly-formed honeycombs exist, from the millions of years before the bees and natural selection finally got the design right? Ha! Because they don't exist! :) Nautiloid proves rapid limestone formation. * Remember the Nautiloids: In the Grand Canyon there is a limestone layer averaging seven feet thick that runs the 277 miles of the canyon (and beyond) that covers hundreds of square miles and contains an average of one nautiloid fossil per square meter. Along with many other dead creatures in this one particular layer, 15% of these nautiloids were killed and then fossilized standing on their heads. Yes, vertically. They were caught in such an intense and rapid catastrophic flow that gravity was not able to cause all of their dead carcasses to fall over on their sides. Famed Mount St. Helens geologist Steve Austin is also the world's leading expert on nautiloid fossils and has worked in the canyon and presented his findings to the park's rangers at the invitation of National Park Service officials. Austin points out, as is true of many of the world's mass fossil graveyards, that this enormous nautiloid deposition provides indisputable proof of the extremely rapid formation of a significant layer of limestone near the bottom of the canyon, a layer like the others we've been told about, that allegedly formed at the bottom of a calm and placid sea with slow and gradual sedimentation. But a million nautiloids, standing on their heads, literally, would beg to differ. At our sister stie, RSR provides the relevant Geologic Society of America abstract, links, and video. * Now It's Allegedly Two Million Year-Old Leaves: "When we started pulling leaves out of the soil, that was surreal, to know that it's millions of years old..." sur-re-al: adjective: a bizarre mix of fact and fantasy. In this case, the leaves are the facts. Earth scientists from Ohio State and the University of Minnesota say that wood and leaves they found in the Canadian Arctic are at least two million years old, and perhaps more than ten million years old, even though the leaves are just dry and crumbly and the wood still burns! * Gold Precipitates in Veins in Less than a Second: After geologists submitted for decades to the assumption that each layer of gold would deposit at the alleged super slow rates of geologic process, the journal Nature Geoscience reports that each layer of deposition can occur within a few tenths of a second. Meanwhile, at the Lihir gold deposit in Papua New Guinea, evolutionists assumed the more than 20 million ounces of gold in the Lihir reserve took millions of years to deposit, but as reported in the journal Science, geologists can now demonstrate that the deposit could have formed in thousands of years, or far more quickly! Iceland's not-so-old Surtsey Island looks ancient. * Surtsey Island, Iceland: Of the volcanic island that formed in 1963, New Scientist reported in 2007 about Surtsey that "geographers... marvel that canyons, gullies and other land features that typically take tens of thousands or millions of years to form were created in less than a decade." Yes. And Sigurdur Thorarinsson, Iceland's chief geologist, wrote in the months after Surtsey formed, "that the time scale," he had been trained "to attach to geological developments is misleading." [For what is said to] take thousands of years... the same development may take a few weeks or even days here [including to form] a landscape... so varied and mature that it was almost beyond belief... wide sandy beaches and precipitous crags... gravel banks and lagoons, impressive cliffs… hollows, glens and soft undulating land... fractures and faultscarps, channels and screes… confounded by what met your eye... boulders worn by the surf, some of which were almost round... -Iceland's chief geologist * The Palouse River Gorge: In the southeast of Washington State, the Palouse River Gorge is one of many features formed rapidly by 500 cubic miles of water catastrophically released with the breaching of a natural dam in the Lake Missoula Flood (which gouged out the Scablands as described above). So, hard rock can be breached and eroded rapidly. * Leaf Shapes Identical for 190 Million Years? From Berkley.edu, "Ginkgo biloba... dates back to... about 190 million years ago... fossilized leaf material from the Tertiary species Ginkgo adiantoides is considered similar or even identical to that produced by modern Ginkgo biloba trees... virtually indistinguishable..." The literature describes leaf shapes as "spectacularly diverse" sometimes within a species but especially across the plant kingdom. Because all kinds of plants survive with all kinds of different leaf shapes, the conservation of a species retaining a single shape over alleged deep time is a telling issue. Darwin's theory is undermined by the unchanging shape over millions of years of a species' leaf shape. This lack of change, stasis in what should be an easily morphable plant trait, supports the broader conclusion that chimp-like creatures did not become human beings and all the other ambitious evolutionary creation of new kinds are simply imagined. (Ginkgo adiantoides and biloba are actually the same species. Wikipedia states, "It is doubtful whether the Northern Hemisphere fossil species of Ginkgo can be reliably distinguished." For oftentimes, as documented by Dr. Carl Werner in his Evolution: The Grand Experiment series, paleontogists falsely speciate identical specimens, giving different species names, even different genus names, to the fossil and living animals that appear identical.) * Box Canyon, Idaho: Geologists now think Box Canyon in Idaho, USA, was carved by a catastrophic flood and not slowly over millions of years with 1) huge plunge pools formed by waterfalls; 2) the almost complete removal of large basalt boulders from the canyon; 3) an eroded notch on the plateau at the top of the canyon; and 4) water scour marks on the basalt plateau leading to the canyon. Scientists calculate that the flood was so large that it could have eroded the whole canyon in as little as 35 days. See the journal Science, Formation of Box Canyon, Idaho, by Megaflood, and the Journal of Creation, and Creation Magazine. * Manganese Nodules Rapid Formation: Allegedly, as claimed at the Wikipedia entry from 2005 through 2021: "Nodule growth is one of the slowest of all geological phenomena – in the order of a centimeter over several million years." Wow, that would be slow! And a Texas A&M Marine Sciences technical slide presentation says, “They grow very slowly (mm/million years) and can be tens of millions of years old.” But according to a World Almanac documentary they have formed "around beer cans," said marine geologist Dr. John Yates in the 1997 video Universe Beneath the Sea: The Next Frontier. There are also reports of manganese nodules forming around ships sunk in the First World War. See more at at youngearth.com, at TOL, in the print edition of the Journal of Creation, and in this typical forum discussion with atheists (at the Chicago Cubs forum no less :). * "6,000 year-old" Mitochondrial Eve: As the Bible calls "Eve... the mother of all living" (Gen. 3:20), genetic researchers have named the one woman from whom all humans have descended "Mitochondrial Eve." But in a scientific attempt to date her existence, they openly admit that they included chimpanzee DNA in their analysis in order to get what they viewed as a reasonably old date of 200,000 years ago (which is still surprisingly recent from their perspective, but old enough not to strain Darwinian theory too much). But then as widely reported including by Science magazine, when they dropped the chimp data and used only actual human mutation rates, that process determined that Eve lived only six thousand years ago! In Ann Gibbon's Science article, "Calibrating the Mitochondrial Clock," rather than again using circular reasoning by assuming their conclusion (that humans evolved from ape-like creatures), they performed their calculations using actual measured mutation rates. This peer-reviewed journal then reported that if these rates have been constant, "mitochondrial Eve… would be a mere 6000 years old." See also the journal Nature and creation.com's "A shrinking date for Eve," and Walt Brown's assessment. Expectedly though, evolutionists have found a way to reject their own unbiased finding (the conclusion contrary to their self-interest) by returning to their original method of using circular reasoning, as reported in the American Journal of Human Genetics, "calibrating against recent evidence for the divergence time of humans and chimpanzees," to reset their mitochondrial clock back to 200,000 years. * Even Younger Y-Chromosomal Adam: (Although he should be called, "Y-Chromosomal Noah.") While we inherit our mtDNA only from our mothers, only men have a Y chromosome (which incidentally genetically disproves the cla

Darwin's finches on the Galapagos Islands are said to have diversified into 14 species over a period of two million years. But in 2017 the journal Science reported a newcomer to the Island which within two generations spawned a reproductively isolated new species. In another instance as documented by Lee Spetner, a hundred birds of the same finch species introduced to an island cluster a 1,000 kilometers from Galapagos diversified into species with the typical variations in beak sizes, etc. "If this diversification occurred in less than seventeen years," Dr. Spetner asks, "why did Darwin's Galapagos finches [as claimed by evolutionists] have to take two million years?" * Blue Eyes Originated Not So Long Ago: Not a million years ago, nor a hundred thousand years ago, but based on a peer-reviewed paper in Human Genetics, a press release at Science Daily reports that, "research shows that people with blue eyes have a single, common ancestor. A team at the University of Copenhagen have tracked down a genetic mutation which took place 6-10,000 years ago and is the cause of the eye colour of all blue-eyed humans alive on the planet today." * Adding the Entire Universe to our List of Not So Old Things? Based on March 2019 findings from Hubble, Nobel laureate Adam Riess of the Space Telescope Science Institute and his co-authors in the Astrophysical Journal estimate that the universe is about a billion years younger than previously thought! Then in September 2019 in the journal Science, the age dropped precipitiously to as low as 11.4 billion years! Of course, these measurements also further squeeze the canonical story of the big bang chronology with its many already existing problems including the insufficient time to "evolve" distant mature galaxies, galaxy clusters, superclusters, enormous black holes, filaments, bubbles, walls, and other superstructures. So, even though the latest estimates are still absurdly too old (Google: big bang predictions, and click on the #1 ranked article, or just go on over there to rsr.org/bb), regardless, we thought we'd plop the whole universe down on our List of Not So Old Things! * After the Soft Tissue Discoveries, NOW Dino DNA: When a North Carolina State University paleontologist took the Tyrannosaurus Rex photos to the right of original biological material, that led to the 2016 discovery of dinosaur DNA, So far researchers have also recovered dinosaur blood vessels, collagen, osteocytes, hemoglobin, red blood cells, and various proteins. As of May 2018, twenty-six scientific journals, including Nature, Science, PNAS, PLoS One, Bone, and Journal of Vertebrate Paleontology, have confirmed the discovery of biomaterial fossils from many dinosaurs! Organisms including T. Rex, hadrosaur, titanosaur, triceratops, Lufengosaur, mosasaur, and Archaeopteryx, and many others dated, allegedly, even hundreds of millions of years old, have yielded their endogenous, still-soft biological material. See the web's most complete listing of 100+ journal papers (screenshot, left) announcing these discoveries at bflist.rsr.org and see it in layman's terms at rsr.org/soft. * Rapid Stalactites, Stalagmites, Etc.: A construction worker in 1954 left a lemonade bottle in one of Australia's famous Jenolan Caves. By 2011 it had been naturally transformed into a stalagmite (below, right). Increasing scientific knowledge is arguing for rapid cave formation (see below, Nat'l Park Service shrinks Carlsbad Caverns formation estimates from 260M years, to 10M, to 2M, to it "depends"). Likewise, examples are growing of rapid formations with typical chemical make-up (see bottle, left) of classic stalactites and stalagmites including:- in Nat'l Geo the Carlsbad Caverns stalagmite that rapidly covered a bat - the tunnel stalagmites at Tennessee's Raccoon Mountain - hundreds of stalactites beneath the Lincoln Memorial - those near Gladfelter Hall at Philadelphia's Temple University (send photos to Bob@rsr.org) - hundreds of stalactites at Australia's zinc mine at Mt. Isa. - and those beneath Melbourne's Shrine of Remembrance. * Most Human Mutations Arose in 200 Generations: From Adam until Real Science Radio, in only 200 generations! The journal Nature reports The Recent Origin of Most Human Protein-coding Variants. As summarized by geneticist co-author Joshua Akey, "Most of the mutations that we found arose in the last 200 generations or so" (the same number previously published by biblical creationists). Another 2012 paper, in the American Journal of Physical Anthropology (Eugenie Scott's own field) on High mitochondrial mutation rates, shows that one mitochondrial DNA mutation occurs every other generation, which, as creationists point out, indicates that mtEve would have lived about 200 generations ago. That's not so old! * National Geographic's Not-So-Old Hard-Rock Canyon at Mount St. Helens: As our List of Not So Old Things (this web page) reveals, by a kneejerk reaction evolutionary scientists assign ages of tens or hundreds of thousands of years (or at least just long enough to contradict Moses' chronology in Genesis.) However, with closer study, routinely, more and more old ages get revised downward to fit the world's growing scientific knowledge. So the trend is not that more information lengthens ages, but rather, as data replaces guesswork, ages tend to shrink until they are consistent with the young-earth biblical timeframe. Consistent with this observation, the May 2000 issue of National Geographic quotes the U.S. Forest Service's scientist at Mount St. Helens, Peter Frenzen, describing the canyon on the north side of the volcano. "You'd expect a hard-rock canyon to be thousands, even hundreds of thousands of years old. But this was cut in less than a decade." And as for the volcano itself, while again, the kneejerk reaction of old-earthers would be to claim that most geologic features are hundreds of thousands or millions of years old, the atheistic National Geographic magazine acknowledges from the evidence that Mount St. Helens, the volcanic mount, is only about 4,000 years old! See below and more at rsr.org/mount-st-helens. * Mount St. Helens Dome Ten Years Old not 1.7 Million: Geochron Laboratories of Cambridge, Mass., using potassium-argon and other radiometric techniques claims the rock sample they dated, from the volcano's dome, solidified somewhere between 340,000 and 2.8 million years ago. However photographic evidence and historical reports document the dome's formation during the 1980s, just ten years prior to the samples being collected. With the age of this rock known, radiometric dating therefore gets the age 99.99999% wrong. * Devils Hole Pupfish Isolated Not for 13,000 Years But for 100: Secular scientists default to knee-jerk, older-than-Bible-age dates. However, a tiny Mojave desert fish is having none of it. Rather than having been genetically isolated from other fish for 13,000 years (which would make this small school of fish older than the Earth itself), according to a paper in the journal Nature, actual measurements of mutation rates indicate that the genetic diversity of these Pupfish could have been generated in about 100 years, give or take a few. * Polystrates like Spines and Rare Schools of Fossilized Jellyfish: Previously, seven sedimentary layers in Wisconsin had been described as taking a million years to form. And because jellyfish have no skeleton, as Charles Darwin pointed out, it is rare to find them among fossils. But now, reported in the journal Geology, a school of jellyfish fossils have been found throughout those same seven layers. So, polystrate fossils that condense the time of strata deposition from eons to hours or months, include: - Jellyfish in central Wisconsin were not deposited and fossilized over a million years but during a single event quick enough to trap a whole school. (This fossil school, therefore, taken as a unit forms a polystrate fossil.) Examples are everywhere that falsify the claims of strata deposition over millions of years. - Countless trilobites buried in astounding three dimensionality around the world are meticulously recovered from limestone, much of which is claimed to have been deposited very slowly. Contrariwise, because these specimens were buried rapidly in quickly laid down sediments, they show no evidence of greater erosion on their upper parts as compared to their lower parts.- The delicacy of radiating spine polystrates, like tadpole and jellyfish fossils, especially clearly demonstrate the rapidity of such strata deposition. - A second school of jellyfish, even though they rarely fossilized, exists in another locale with jellyfish fossils in multiple layers, in Australia's Brockman Iron Formation, constraining there too the rate of strata deposition. By the way, jellyfish are an example of evolution's big squeeze. Like galaxies evolving too quickly, galaxy clusters, and even human feet (which, like Mummy DNA, challenge the Out of Africa paradigm), jellyfish have gotten into the act squeezing evolution's timeline, here by 200 million years when they were found in strata allegedly a half-a-billion years old. Other examples, ironically referred to as Medusoid Problematica, are even found in pre-Cambrian strata. - 171 tadpoles of the same species buried in diatoms. - Leaves buried vertically through single-celled diatoms powerfully refute the claimed super-slow deposition of diatomaceous rock. - Many fossils, including a Mesosaur, have been buried in multiple "varve" layers, which are claimed to be annual depositions, yet they show no erosional patterns that would indicate gradual burial (as they claim, absurdly, over even thousands of years). - A single whale skeleton preserved in California in dozens of layers of diatom deposits thus forming a polystrate fossil. - 40 whales buried in the desert in Chile. "What's really interesting is that this didn't just happen once," said Smithsonian evolutionist Dr. Nick Pyenson. It happened four times." Why's that? Because "the fossil site has at least four layers", to which Real Science Radio's Bob Enyart replies: "Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha", with RSR co-host Fred Williams thoughtfully adding, "Ha ha!" * Polystrate Trees: Examples abound around the world of polystrate trees: - Yellowstone's petrified polystrate forest (with the NPS exhibit sign removed; see below) with successive layers of rootless trees demonstrating the rapid deposition of fifty layers of strata. - A similarly formed polystrate fossil forest in France demonstrating the rapid deposition of a dozen strata. - In a thousand locations including famously the Fossil Cliffs of Joggins, Nova Scotia, polystrate fossils such as trees span many strata. - These trees lack erosion: Not only should such fossils, generally speaking, not even exist, but polystrates including trees typically show no evidence of erosion increasing with height. All of this powerfully disproves the claim that the layers were deposited slowly over thousands or millions of years. In the experience of your RSR radio hosts, evolutionists commonly respond to this hard evidence with mocking. See CRSQ June 2006, ICR Impact #316, and RSR 8-11-06 at KGOV.com. * Yellowstone Petrified Trees Sign Removed: The National Park Service removed their incorrect sign (see left and more). The NPS had claimed that in dozens of different strata over a 40-square mile area, many petrified trees were still standing where they had grown. The NPS eventually removed the sign partly because those petrified trees had no root systems, which they would have had if they had grown there. Instead, the trees of this "fossil forest" have roots that are abruptly broken off two or three feet from their trunks. If these mature trees actually had been remnants of sequential forests that had grown up in strata layer on top of strata layer, 27 times on Specimen Ridge (and 50 times at Specimen Creek), such a natural history implies passage of more time than permitted by biblical chronology. So, don't trust the National Park Service on historical science because they're wrong on the age of the Earth. * Wood Petrifies Quickly: Not surprisingly, by the common evolutionary knee-jerk claim of deep time, "several researchers believe that several millions of years are necessary for the complete formation of silicified wood". Our List of Not So Old and Not So Slow Things includes the work of five Japanese scientists who proved creationist research and published their results in the peer-reviewed journal Sedimentary Geology showing that wood can and does petrify rapidly. Modern wood significantly petrified in 36 years these researchers concluded that wood buried in strata could have been petrified in "a fairly short period of time, in the order of several tens to hundreds of years." * The Scablands: The primary surface features of the Scablands, which cover thousands of square miles of eastern Washington, were long believed to have formed gradually. Yet, against the determined claims of uniformitarian geologists, there is now overwhelming evidence as presented even in a NOVA TV program that the primary features of the Scablands formed rapidly from a catastrophic breach of Lake Missoula causing a massive regional flood. Of course evolutionary geologists still argue that the landscape was formed over tens of thousands of years, now by claiming there must have been a hundred Missoula floods. However, the evidence that there was Only One Lake Missoula Flood has been powerfully reinforced by a University of Colorado Ph.D. thesis. So the Scablands itself is no longer available to old-earthers as de facto evidence for the passage of millions of years. * The Heart Mountain Detachment: in Wyoming just east of Yellowstone, this mountain did not break apart slowly by uniformitarian processes but in only about half-an-hour as widely reported including in the evolutionist LiveScience.com, "Land Speed Record: Mountain Moves 62 Miles in 30 Minutes." The evidence indicates that this mountain of rock covering 425 square miles rapidly broke into 50 pieces and slid apart over an area of more than 1,300 square miles in a biblical, not a "geological," timeframe. * "150 Million" year-old Squid Ink Not Decomposed: This still-writable ink had dehydrated but had not decomposed! The British Geological Survey's Dr. Phil Wilby, who excavated the fossil, said, "It is difficult to imagine how you can have something as soft and sloppy as an ink sac fossilised in three dimensions, still black, and inside a rock that is 150 million years old." And the Daily Mail states that, "the black ink was of exactly the same structure as that of today's version", just desiccated. And Wilby added, "Normally you would find only the hard parts like the shell and bones fossilised but... these creatures... can be dissected as if they are living animals, you can see the muscle fibres and cells. It is difficult to imagine... The structure is similar to ink from a modern squid so we can write with it..." Why is this difficult for evolutionists to imagine? Because as Dr. Carl Wieland writes, "Chemical structures 'fall apart' all by themselves over time due to the randomizing effects of molecular motion." Decades ago Bob Enyart broadcast a geology program about Mount St. Helens' catastrophic destruction of forests and the hydraulic transportation and upright deposition of trees. Later, Bob met the chief ranger from Haleakala National Park on Hawaii's island of Maui, Mark Tanaka-Sanders. The ranger agreed to correspond with his colleague at Yellowstone to urge him to have the sign removed. Thankfully, it was then removed. (See also AIG, CMI, and all the original Yellowstone exhibit photos.) Groundbreaking research conducted by creation geologist Dr. Steve Austin in Spirit Lake after Mount St. Helens eruption provided a modern-day analog to the formation of Yellowstone fossil forest. A steam blast from that volcano blew over tens of thousands of trees leaving them without attached roots. Many thousands of those trees were floating upright in Spirit Lake, and began sinking at varying rates into rapidly and sporadically deposited sediments. Once Yellowstone's successive forest interpretation was falsified (though like with junk DNA, it's too big to fail, so many atheists and others still cling to it), the erroneous sign was removed. * Asiatic vs. European Honeybees: These two populations of bees have been separated supposedly for seven million years. A researcher decided to put the two together to see what would happen. What we should have here is a failure to communicate that would have resulted after their "language" evolved over millions of years. However, European and Asiatic honeybees are still able to communicate, putting into doubt the evolutionary claim that they were separated over "geologic periods." For more, see the Public Library of Science, Asiatic Honeybees Can Understand Dance Language of European Honeybees. (Oh yeah, and why don't fossils of poorly-formed honeycombs exist, from the millions of years before the bees and natural selection finally got the design right? Ha! Because they don't exist! :) Nautiloid proves rapid limestone formation.* Remember the Nautiloids: In the Grand Canyon there is a limestone layer averaging seven feet thick that runs the 277 miles of the canyon (and beyond) that covers hundreds of square miles and contains an average of one nautiloid fossil per square meter. Along with many other dead creatures in this one particular layer, 15% of these nautiloids were killed and then fossilized standing on their heads. Yes, vertically. They were caught in such an intense and rapid catastrophic flow that gravity was not able to cause all of their dead carcasses to fall over on their sides. Famed Mount St. Helens geologist Steve Austin is also the world's leading expert on nautiloid fossils and has worked in the canyon and presented his findings to the park's rangers at the invitation of National Park Service officials. Austin points out, as is true of many of the world's mass fossil graveyards, that this enormous nautiloid deposition provides indisputable proof of the extremely rapid formation of a significant layer of limestone near the bottom of the canyon, a layer like the others we've been told about, that allegedly formed at the bottom of a calm and placid sea with slow and gradual sedimentation. But a million nautiloids, standing on their heads, literally, would beg to differ. At our sister stie, RSR provides the relevant Geologic Society of America abstract, links, and video. * Now It's Allegedly Two Million Year-Old Leaves: "When we started pulling leaves out of the soil, that was surreal, to know that it's millions of years old..." sur-re-al: adjective: a bizarre mix of fact and fantasy. In this case, the leaves are the facts. Earth scientists from Ohio State and the University of Minnesota say that wood and leaves they found in the Canadian Arctic are at least two million years old, and perhaps more than ten million years old, even though the leaves are just dry and crumbly and the wood still burns! * Gold Precipitates in Veins in Less than a Second: After geologists submitted for decades to the assumption that each layer of gold would deposit at the alleged super slow rates of geologic process, the journal Nature Geoscience reports that each layer of deposition can occur within a few tenths of a second. Meanwhile, at the Lihir gold deposit in Papua New Guinea, evolutionists assumed the more than 20 million ounces of gold in the Lihir reserve took millions of years to deposit, but as reported in the journal Science, geologists can now demonstrate that the deposit could have formed in thousands of years, or far more quickly! Iceland's not-so-old Surtsey Island looks ancient.* Surtsey Island, Iceland: Of the volcanic island that formed in 1963, New Scientist reported in 2007 about Surtsey that "geographers... marvel that canyons, gullies and other land features that typically take tens of thousands or millions of years to form were created in less than a decade." Yes. And Sigurdur Thorarinsson, Iceland's chief geologist, wrote in the months after Surtsey formed, "that the time scale," he had been trained "to attach to geological developments is misleading." [For what is said to] take thousands of years... the same development may take a few weeks or even days here [including to form] a landscape... so varied and mature that it was almost beyond belief... wide sandy beaches and precipitous crags... gravel banks and lagoons, impressive cliffs… hollows, glens and soft undulating land... fractures and faultscarps, channels and screes… confounded by what met your eye... boulders worn by the surf, some of which were almost round... -Iceland's chief geologist * The Palouse River Gorge: In the southeast of Washington State, the Palouse River Gorge is one of many features formed rapidly by 500 cubic miles of water catastrophically released with the breaching of a natural dam in the Lake Missoula Flood (which gouged out the Scablands as described above). So, hard rock can be breached and eroded rapidly. * Leaf Shapes Identical for 190 Million Years? From Berkley.edu, "Ginkgo biloba... dates back to... about 190 million years ago... fossilized leaf material from the Tertiary species Ginkgo adiantoides is considered similar or even identical to that produced by modern Ginkgo biloba trees... virtually indistinguishable..." The literature describes leaf shapes as "spectacularly diverse" sometimes within a species but especially across the plant kingdom. Because all kinds of plants survive with all kinds of different leaf shapes, the conservation of a species retaining a single shape over alleged deep time is a telling issue. Darwin's theory is undermined by the unchanging shape over millions of years of a species' leaf shape. This lack of change, stasis in what should be an easily morphable plant trait, supports the broader conclusion that chimp-like creatures did not become human beings and all the other ambitious evolutionary creation of new kinds are simply imagined. (Ginkgo adiantoides and biloba are actually the same species. Wikipedia states, "It is doubtful whether the Northern Hemisphere fossil species of Ginkgo can be reliably distinguished." For oftentimes, as documented by Dr. Carl Werner in his Evolution: The Grand Experiment series, paleontogists falsely speciate identical specimens, giving different species names, even different genus names, to the fossil and living animals that appear identical.) * Box Canyon, Idaho: Geologists now think Box Canyon in Idaho, USA, was carved by a catastrophic flood and not slowly over millions of years with 1) huge plunge pools formed by waterfalls; 2) the almost complete removal of large basalt boulders from the canyon; 3) an eroded notch on the plateau at the top of the canyon; and 4) water scour marks on the basalt plateau leading to the canyon. Scientists calculate that the flood was so large that it could have eroded the whole canyon in as little as 35 days. See the journal Science, Formation of Box Canyon, Idaho, by Megaflood, and the Journal of Creation, and Creation Magazine. * Manganese Nodules Rapid Formation: Allegedly, as claimed at the Wikipedia entry from 2005 through 2021: "Nodule growth is one of the slowest of all geological phenomena – in the order of a centimeter over several million years." Wow, that would be slow! And a Texas A&M Marine Sciences technical slide presentation says, “They grow very slowly (mm/million years) and can be tens of millions of years old.” But according to a World Almanac documentary they have formed "around beer cans," said marine geologist Dr. John Yates in the 1997 video Universe Beneath the Sea: The Next Frontier. There are also reports of manganese nodules forming around ships sunk in the First World War. See more at at youngearth.com, at TOL, in the print edition of the Journal of Creation, and in this typical forum discussion with atheists (at the Chicago Cubs forum no less :). * "6,000 year-old" Mitochondrial Eve: As the Bible calls "Eve... the mother of all living" (Gen. 3:20), genetic researchers have named the one woman from whom all humans have descended "Mitochondrial Eve." But in a scientific attempt to date her existence, they openly admit that they included chimpanzee DNA in their analysis in order to get what they viewed as a reasonably old date of 200,000 years ago (which is still surprisingly recent from their perspective, but old enough not to strain Darwinian theory too much). But then as widely reported including by Science magazine, when they dropped the chimp data and used only actual human mutation rates, that process determined that Eve lived only six thousand years ago! In Ann Gibbon's Science article, "Calibrating the Mitochondrial Clock," rather than again using circular reasoning by assuming their conclusion (that humans evolved from ape-like creatures), they performed their calculations using actual measured mutation rates. This peer-reviewed journal then reported that if these rates have been constant, "mitochondrial Eve… would be a mere 6000 years old." See also the journal Nature and creation.com's "A shrinking date for Eve," and Walt Brown's assessment. Expectedly though, evolutionists have found a way to reject their own unbiased finding (the conclusion contrary to their self-interest) by returning to their original method of using circular reasoning, as reported in the American Journal of Human Genetics, "calibrating against recent evidence for the divergence time of humans and chimpanzees," to reset their mitochondrial clock back to 200,000 years. * Even Younger Y-Chromosomal Adam: (Although he should be called, "Y-Chromosomal Noah.") While we inherit our mtDNA only from our mothers, only men have a Y chromosome (which incidentally genetically disproves the claim that the fetus is "part of the woman's body," since the little boy's y chromosome could never be part of mom's body). Based on documented mutation rates on and the extraordinary lack o

Carbon-14 doesn't lie. It only lasts thousands of years and yet is plentiful in fossils and diamonds claimed to be millions and billions of years old.

Ideal Para Llevarte O Regalar Productos Del Podcats De Ivoox. (Por Tiempo Limitado) https://teespring.com/es/stores/biblioteca-del-metal-1 Europe es una banda sueca de hard rock y glam metal, fundada en la localidad de Upplands Väsby, un suburbio de Estocolmo en 1979 bajo el nombre de Force por el vocalista Joey Tempest y el guitarrista John Norum. Su estilo incorpora elementos del hard rock y el heavy metal. Durante los '80 y principios de los '90 estuvieron influenciados por el glam metal de la época, aunque su sonido estaba más cercano al metal melódico. Desde su regreso en 2003 y hasta la actualidad, su música maduró alejándose del sonido que les había caracterizado durante los ochenta, adoptando un estilo menos comercial y más arraigado al heavy metal. En total, Europe ha lanzado diez álbumes de estudio, tres álbumes en concierto, tres recopilaciones y diecisiete vídeos musicales. Europe logró reconocimiento internacional en la década de los 80 con su tercer álbum The Final Countdown (1986), con un notable éxito comercial y vendió más de 15.5 millones de copias solo en Estados Unidos. La banda fue uno de los más exitosos espectáculos de rock en la década y vendió más de veinte millones de álbumes en ese país y más de 60 millones de álbumes alrededor del mundo. El grupo tuvo en total dos discos en el Top 20 en la lista de Billboard 200 (The Final Countdown y Out of This World) y dos sencillos en el Top 10 de Billboard Hot 100 ("The Final Countdown" y "Carrie") A raíz de la significativa pérdida de popularidad que afectó al género a inicios de los 90, Europe se tomó un largo receso en 1992, reuniéndose temporalmente en una única presentación en Estocolmo, para una celebración del año nuevo en 1999. La anunciada y esperada reunión oficial ocurrió en 2003. Desde entonces, y bajo un nuevo estilo, han publicado seis discos más: Start from the Dark (2004), Secret Society (2006), Last Look at Eden (2009), Bag of Bones (2012), War of Kings (2015) y Walk the Earth (2017). En 1978 Joey Tempest (en ese entonces Joakim Larsson) fue a ver un concierto de otra banda local, WC. Quedó particularmente impresionado por su guitarrista. "Cuando yo tenía 15 años, descubrí un guitarrista, un año menor que yo, que tocaba su instrumento con el corazón y el alma, y con un blues sensacional que nunca había oído en un músico sueco. Su nombre era John Norum y después de ese día nada volvería a ser lo mismo" - explicó en una entrevista. Joakim y John pronto se hicieron buenos amigos, gracias a su interés común por la música y las motocicletas. En 1979, se le pidió a Larsson unirse a la banda de Norum, WC. Él aceptó, y sugirió que el grupo podía cambiar su nombre. La primera encarnación de la banda fue llamada Force, y fue fundada en el suburbio de Upplands Väsby, Estocolmo. Estuvo integrada por el vocalista y teclista Joakim Larsson, el guitarrista John Norum, el bajista Peter Olsson y el baterista Tony Reno. El nombre fue sugerido por el propio Larsson a Norum, después de escuchar el álbum “Force it” (1975), del grupo UFO, el cual le resultó fascinante. “Recuerdo cuando empezamos con la banda Force, tocábamos covers en un cuarto de ensayo porque queríamos aprender a tocar nuestros instrumentos, como todas las bandas”, dijo Tempest. “Entonces un día dijimos que tal vez deberíamos hacer nuestras propias cosas. Nadie tenía ideas, por lo que yo interpuse las mías en la sala de ensayos, y es entonces cuando empezamos a escribir nuestras propias cosas”.5 Con dicha formación, se presentaron en festivales y distintos clubes nocturnos de su país natal. Force vendió algunos demos a algunas compañías de discos locales, pero se les dijo que para publicar su trabajo debían cortarse el pelo y cantar en sueco. Dos años más tarde, sin que la banda se hiciera aún un hueco importante, Olsson los abandonó por problemas personales con Larsson, siendo sustituido por John Levén, Apenas un par de meses antes, Levén estuvo en Rising Force de Yngwie Malmsteen mientras el bajista Marcel Jacob se incorporó brevemente a Force. Esto fue únicamente por tres meses: al parecer, Levén tenía problemas con Malmsteen, así que él y Jacob negociaron intercambiarse una vez más y de forma definitiva. En 1982, la novia de Larsson los inscribió en el concurso de talentos de rock nacional “Rock -SM", y una vez más Joakim sugirió un cambio de nombre al grupo, esta vez al actual Europe, inspirado en el álbum de Deep Purple en directo "Made in Europe". Para esta misma época Joakim Larsson adoptó el nombre artístico de Joey Tempest. Compitieron contra 4000 bandas, y allí ellos ganaron con dos canciones,, "In the Future to Come" y "The King Will Return". El premio fue un contrato con Hot Records. Tempest ganó el premio de “Mejor Cantante”, y Norum el de “Mejor Guitarrista” ' El auto titulado álbum debut fue lanzado al año siguiente y se vendió muy bien en Suecia y Japón. El disco alcanzó un notable número 8 en listados suecos y el sencillo "Seven Doors Hotel" llegó al top 10 en listados de Japón. El segundo disco Wings of Tomorrow fue lanzado justo un año después en 1984 y su sencillo "Open Your Heart" mostró interés para CBS Records quines le ofrecieron un contrato internacional en 1985. uno de los álbumes más importantes fue Wings of Tomorrow”, comentó Tempest, “Estábamos aprendiendo a escribir canciones y John empezó a tocar algunas cosas realmente interesantes en la guitarra. Nos convertimos en una banda mejor, y esa fue una buena época para la banda” La incorporación del teclista Mic Michaeli fue otro punto acertado en la dirección que llevaba Europe, y le permitió a Tempest concentrarse únicamente en cantar y componer. Originalmente, Michaeli los acompañó únicamente en las giras de conciertos, hasta convertirse en un miembro oficial y permanente en muy poco tiempo. Adicionalmente, Michaeli demostró gran habilidad en escribir canciones, Al mismo tiempo, Tony Reno fue despedido debido a su falta de motivación y a la supuesta pérdida de ritmo en los ensayos. Su reemplazo fue Ian Haugland, En 1985, Europe grabó la banda sonora de la película On the Loose, la cual les dio el éxito posterior con "Rock the Night", Algunos meses más tarde. Tempest participó escribiendo un tema para el proyecto de caridad sueco para la hambruna en Etiopía, llamado Swedish Metal Aid. Compuso "Give a Helping Hand", el cual presentó a las mayores estrellas de rock y metal de Suecia. El disco fue producido por el guitarrista de Easy Action, Kee Marcello, quien solo un año después sería un miembro oficial de Europe. En septiembre de 1985, Europe empezó a grabar su siguiente disco con el productor de Journey, Kevin Elson. El resultado fue el célebre The Final Countdown. Lanzado el 26 de mayo de 1986, el álbum le dio a la banda su lugar en el mercado internacional, y fue certificado como Triple Platino en Estados Unidos. y alcanzó el número 8 en el Billboard 200 chart. La canción tema, fue basada en un riff de teclado que compuso Tempest entre 1981 y 1982, y fue publicada como el primer sencillo con un éxito sin precedentes para un grupo de rock sueco alrededor del mundo, llegando a ser número 1 en 25 países. A pesar del éxito, John Norum no se encontró satisfecho con el nuevo estilo musical de Europe, con una producción dominada por el uso de teclados en disminución de su aporte en la guitarra, así como la nueva imagen comercializada, así que decidió abandonarlos en noviembre de 1986 para iniciar su carrera en solitario. En una entrevista expresó con dureza su grado de insatisfacción. ”No me gustó mucho la dirección en la que iba la banda", dijo Norum. "Nos convertimos en este grupo para adolescentes, una banda de goma de mascar y odiaba toda la imagen, spandex y cosas tipo perro lanudo de rock. Yo estaba más en lo más pesado, material orientado a la guitarra y parecía que los teclados se estaban tomando más y más, y cada vez eran más comerciales. Así que decidí salir. Solo quería seguir adelante y hacer algo". A Kee Marcello se le consultó si quería reemplazarlo, y después de alguna consideración, se incorporó a la banda. Marcello entró justo en el pico comercial de Europe: participó en tres vídeos de sencillos de The Final Countdown y en la exitosa gira por Europa y Estados Unidos que lo sucedió en 1987. El siguiente trabajo fue titulado Out of This World publicado en 1988. El mayor hit del álbum fue "Superstitious" que alcanzó el número 31 en la Billboard Hot 100 y el número 9 en el Mainstream Rock Tracks. "Superstitious" fue su último tema en listas americanas.3 El álbum fue certificado platino en Estados Unidos y alcanzó el número 19 en la Billboard 200t.27 Una nueva gira lo sucedió por Estados Unidos, junto con Def Leppard y un concierto masivo en el National Bowl ein Milton Keynes, Inglaterra con Bon Jovi, Skid Row y Vixen. En septiembre de 1989, Europe hizo un show en el club Whisky a Go Go en West Hollywood, California bajo el pseudónimo de Le Baron Boys. Ese nombre fue utilizado más tarde por una edición bootleg, que contiene grabaciones de demo grabadas entre 1989-90. Dos años más tarde, publicaron su álbum Prisoners in Paradise, pero recibió una atención muy limitada debido al “boom” mediático del movimiento de rock alternativo (grunge) que afectó negativamente a todos los artistas ajenos al género a inicios de los 90. El éxito de bandas como Nirvana, Soundgarden y Pearl Jam eclipsó por completo a las agrupaciones glam metaleras de los 80, y muchas desaparecieron, entre ellas la propia Europe. A pesar de que las ventas fueron comparativamente bajas con respecto a sus anteriores publicaciones, el sencillo "I'll Cry for You" alcanzó un digno número 28 en listados del Reino Unido, prácticamente el último éxito notable que lograron en charts fuera de Suecia. En febrero de 1990 la banda participó en el Festival Internacional de La Canción de Viña Del Mar, durante el cual tienen una increíble y notable presentación con gran éxito de sintonía lo cual hace que la banda se presente en dos oportunidades siendo premiado por el público con la Antorcha de Plata. En el Año Nuevo de 1991, Europe se separó luego de un show en el Tokyo Dome, Japón, en una actuación junto a Tesla, Thunder y Metallica. El concierto, casualmente, tuvo el nombre de "Final Countdown '91". Después de diez años con altibajos comerciales, grabando o de gira, Europe se tomó un descanso al final de la gira de 1992. Los integrantes se sentían algo agotados de ese ritmo de vida, y la popularidad del grupo había decaído por completo. “Recuerdo que en el autobús después de la gira estábamos hablando cuando todo esto estaba pasando y creo que era el momento, con el consenso de la banda, que realmente nos sentíamos listos para tomarnos un descanso ", dijo Tempest. "Sentimos que era momento de establecerse y yo estaba realmente con la idea de hacer mi propio álbum en solitario”. En esa ocasión, Tempest y Marcello publicaron sus álbumes en solitario, mientras los otros miembros se integraron en diferentes proyectos con otras bandas. Los miembros del grupo empezaron a discutir la posibilidad de una reunión de Europe a partir de 1998. "Mic y Ian me empezaron a visitar en Irlanda”, comentó Tempest, “Entonces mientras estábamos allí, John Norum llamó desde Los Ángeles, y estábamos como 'Sí, tal vez ahora es el momento adecuado para que las cosas comenzaran de nuevo' ". Para las celebraciones del año 2000, Europe fue convocado para un concierto en Estocolmo. Ese sería el primer y único concierto del grupo con el dúo de guitarristas de John Norum y Kee Marcello. Allí tocaron “Rock the Night” y “The Final Countdown” A través de los años, los rumores de una reunión se acrecentaron, y el 2 de octubre de 2003, el anuncio se hizo oficial: Europe anunció planes de grabar un nuevo álbum y un tour mundial. El nuevo line-up fue el clásico con John Norum como único guitarrista, "No cabe duda de que quería que John regresara, y John quería volver ", dijo Tempest. "Para mí era importante conseguir otra vez esa chispa que teníamos antes”. Kee Marcello, en cambio, declaró que estaba muy ocupado con sus propios proyectos. "Yo les dije que no quería participar en un (nuevo) álbum de estudio porque musicalmente, quiero ir en un tipo dirección diferente que la que muestra Europe”, manifestó en una entrevista. “Entonces hablamos por algún tiempo de hacer un tour de seis piezas – no hubo forma por diferentes razones” La composición del nuevo álbum Start from the Dark, comenzó a inicios de 2003. “Era sólo cuestión de seguir adelante y escribiendo canciones para el nuevo álbum" comentó Tempest, "que siempre fue nuestra intención. Pensamos que si íbamos a hacer una reaparición, queríamos hacerlo bien, y eso lo que significó es que queríamos escribir y grabar algunas canciones nuevas, un nuevo álbum”. Para la grabación de Start from the Dark, decidieron trabajar con el productor Kevin Elson, quien también lo hizo en The Final Countdown. "Nosotros bien podríamos ir con un productor más joven, o podemos ir con alguien que conocíamos, alguien con experiencia que esté en la misma onda que la banda. Así que al final decidimos que Kevin sería la elección perfecta”, puntualizó Tempest. En el verano de 2004, Europe realizó presentaciones en distintos festivales a través del continente europeo. El repertorio de temas incluyeron temas del nuevo disco Start from the Dark. Dicho álbum fue lanzado el 22 de setiembre de 2004, el mismo día que Norum fue padre. Start from the Dark presentó un sonido más moderno comparado con los de trabajos previos. “Quisimos hacer algo que por lo menos fuera un poco relevante ahora; un poco de una mezcla seca, desafinando un poquito”, aseguró Tempest. “Nos sentíamos tan cómodos que no quisimos hacer un álbum de los 80 por sí mismo, acabamos por querer comenzar como una banda fresca realmente”. Finalmente, el álbum solo vendió 600,000 copias alrededor del mundo, cifra muy inferior al de discos anteriores. El séptimo álbum fue llamado, Secret Society publicado el 26 de octubre de 2006. "Creemos que es uno de los álbumes más fuertes de Europe que se hayan hecho", comentó el vocalista Joey Tempest, "Hay definitivamente más materia melódica en esto. Start from the Dark era muy crudo e hizo una declaración, la cual es buena, pero para nosotros se sentía como un álbum debut en cierta manera, así que nosotros queríamos ampliar un poquito en éste y llevarlo a nuevos niveles". El 26 de enero de 2008, Europe hizo un concierto semi-acústico en Nalen, Estocolmo, llamando al evento Almost Unplugged. El grupo fue acompañado por un cuarteto de cuerdas que interpretaron versiones de sus propias canciones, así como lo hicieron también con composiciones de bandas que influenciaron el sonido de Europe por años, tales como Pink Floyd, UFO, Led Zeppelin y Thin Lizzy. El álbum debutó en el número 26 de los listados suecos (Swedish Album Chart) y llegó como máximo al número 26 en la siguiente semana, El 23 de julio de 2008, compartieron créditos en un concierto con Whitesnake en Padua, Italia. Durante la intervención de Whitesnake con su clásico "Still of the Night ", Joey Tempest interpretó junto a David Coverdale en el escenario para los últimos coros, En agosto de 2008, Europe fue parte del acto de apertura para Deep Purple para dos conciertos en Suecia, en las ciudades de Linköping el 8 de agosto y Ystad el 9 de agosto. John Norum tocó junto a Deep Purple en el escenario la canción "Smoke on the Water". El 21 de julio de 2009, el bajista y uno de los miembros de Force, Marcel Jacob, se suicidó. Tenía 45 años de edad, El octavo álbum de Europe fue llamado Last Look at Eden, lanzado el 9 de setiembre de 2009, La canción que le da nombre, "Last Look at Eden", fue publicada como un sencillo el 8 de junio. y el 3 de setiembre se lanzó "New Love In Town", ambas acompañadas de su respectivo vídeoclip oficial. El grupo lo ha descrito como un álbum moderno de rock retro, "Esta vez, estamos tomando nuevos rumbos con nuestras canciones, y estamos explorando diferentes estilos musicales", afirmaron los músicos."Hay un ambiente definido de rock clásico en algunos de los temas... malditas canciones de rock de los 70's - pero las que hemos traído aquí y ahora". Después de una semana de su lanzamiento en Suecia, este álbum debutó en el puesto Nº 1 en los charts del país (Sverigetopplistan) por sus ventas masivas. En el Reino Unido, en cambio, tuvo un éxito muy discreto (Nº 125 en listas). A finales de 2009, Europe fue nominado a un Premio Grammy en su país natal y logró un disco de oro por las ventas de Last Look at Eden. El 12 de julio de 2011, Europe contrató al prestigioso productor sudafricano Kevin Shirley, como parte vital de su nuevo disco. Al respecto, Shirley afirmó: "He sido un gran fan del trabajo de Europe por muchos años". "La banda es influyente y altamente infravalorada. No puedo esperar hacer de este álbum su más explosivo a la fecha" Las sesiones de grabación iniciaron el 3 de octubre de 2011. El título del noveno álbum Bag of Bones fue anunciado el 24 de enero de 2012, y su fecha oficial de salida es abril de 2012. Contrariamente a la creencia popular, el nombre no está basado en el conocido libro de terror del mismo nombre de Stephen King. El baterista Ian Haugland explicó: "No se llamó 'Bag of Bones' porque todos nosotros hubiéramos perdido toneladas de peso, o porque encontráramos un nuevo interés en la arqueología o perros... Es sólo porque eso sonaba malditamente genial!" Mientras tanto, el vocalista Joey Tempest fue más específico en su concepto: "Con 'Bag of Bones' hicimos un disco de rock duro clásico con toques de blues", y agregó, "Eso casi se siente como una 'precuela' a nuestro primer álbum, con un golpe del 2012" Como sencillo promocional, se lanzó la canción "Not Supposed to Sing the Blues", el 9 de marzo de 2012. Bag of Bones es el primer álbum de Europe en ingresar al UK Top 100 Albums desde Prisoners in Paradise en 1991 (número 56) y también lo logró en el UK Top 40 Rock Albums en el número 3. El 24 de junio estuvo en un concierto en Barcelona (España) en el Palau dels Esports. War of Kings es el décimo álbum de estudio de la banda sueca de hard rock Europe, producido bajo la nueva etiqueta alemana UDR Records. Las fechas oficiales de lanzamiento variaron dependiendo de la zona. En el Reino Unido vio la luz el 2 de marzo de 2015 y el 4 de marzo en Japón; en Europa se publicó el 6 de marzo, y finalmente el 10 del mismo mes en Estados Unidos. Su primer sencillo, el auto titulado "War of Kings", fue lanzado previamente el 4 de febrero de 2015. El vídeo musical fue dirigido por Patric Ullaeus y fue estrenado internacionalmente el 9 de febrero. El 16 de marzo se lanzó el segundo sencillo, titulado "Days of Rock 'n' Roll" y el video musical respectivo fue estrenado el 27 de abril. El vocalista Joey Tempest declaró que "War of Kings es el álbum que siempre quisimos hacer, desde que éramos niños escuchando a bandas como Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple y Black Sabbath. y después de escuchar a Dave Cobb en su increíble producción para Rival Sons simplemente tuvimos que trabajar con él. Nuestra aventura es todavía ON!" El undécimo álbum de Europe fue denominado Walk the Earth, y fue grabado entre abril y mayo de 2017 en los legendarios Abbey Road Studios en Londres. Fue lanzado en octubre del mismo año, siendo -por lo tanto- uno de los plazos más cortos en los que la banda ha presentado nuevo material, gracias a un periodo particularmente prolífico en la composición de canciones. Fue promocionado con un vídeo musical del tema que le da título, dirigido una vez más por Patric Ullaeus.
Dallas and Jen have an amazing story where an uncertain diagnosis made them certain about who God is. On this week’s episode they share about their faith journey and how the Lord has been pursuing them every step of the way. They share how some shocking news about their son being diagnosed with autism shook their family, turning their whole world upside down, yet opened many doors for them to not only find their way back to God but to be a light in their community. I am encouraged by Dallas and Jen and their vulnerability to share what they’ve been through in hopes to encourage someone to see God in the midst of uncertainty.

Today we’re talking about Expectations VS Reality. How many of us have these preconceived notions about life? As children we have a wide expanse of dreams regarding how we imagine life to be when we grow up. Dreams of meeting our perfect spouse, having a family, excelling in our careers, traveling the world, doing all the things we see in the movies. But what happens when that picture perfect scene is shattered by war, trauma, infidelity, and heartache...The reality is WAR changes a person. TRAUMA changes a person. LIFE changes a person. How does one work to reconcile between our preconceived expectations & our present realities? I’ve heard it discussed like this... Unmet expectations are premeditated resentments. All information is based on real life experiences. We are speaking from a place of love and nothing we say should ever be in place of professional counseling or reaching out to your doctor.

On April 4, 1984, President Ronald Reagan made a public plea to the world to ban chemical weapons. Already outlawed by previous treaties, the widespread use of various chemical weapons in World War I was the peak of chemical warfare, but these terrible weapons have not totally disappeared. Today we list 10 Fiendish, Horrible, Evil Weapons We’re Not Supposed to Use, either by International agreement or our own decision. At times even crossbows were banned for use against “Christians,” as were square projectiles. What weapons, devices, or techniques from Hell would you include on a ban against such things?

SHANNON BREAM joined FOX News Channel in 2007. She currently serves as host of Fox News @ Night (weekdays at 11pm), the network’s Chief Legal Correspondent, and a regular guest host for top-rated programs such as Special Report and Fox News Sunday. She is a graduate of Liberty University, a former Miss Virginia and Miss Florida, and earned a Juris Doctorate with honors from Florida State University College of Law. Whether it's her work today as a reporter and host for Fox News, her years in law school, or the time she spent competing in pageants like Miss America, Shannon Bream has spent her entire adult life navigating high-pressure environments where perfection is expected and competition is the name of the game. But in this laugh-out-loud book of stories and inspiration, Shannon shares the moments away from the cameras and the halls of government, in which she learned that the values and faith of her blue-collar upbringing could keep her grounded in a world where everyone wants you to be something other than who you are. In Finding the Bright Side, Shannon continues a conversation about authenticity, humility, and trusting in God that she's already begun with her followers on social media. She shares behind-the-scenes stories from Washington, D.C., revelations from her time reporting on the Supreme Court, and lessons learned from the most challenging moments of her life—from the time she was fired from her first job and told, “You’re the worst person I’ve ever seen on TV,” to the time she heard “There is no cure.” But through all of this, faith (and a little bit of stubbornness!) has helped Shannon to keep hope, find purpose in the pain, and find laughs along the way.Praise for Finding the Bright Side “Integrity. Faith. Diligence. Success. Shannon’s book—and life—elevate these cherished values. For anyone hoping to move forward without compromising convictions, this book is a must read.”—Max Lucado, pastor and bestselling author “In Finding the Bright Side, Shannon reveals that her sunny face and disposition is not just from good genetics. Her success is long in coming and well-deserved. She is sheer joy in a bottle.”—Kathie Lee Gifford, bestselling author of The Rock, the Road and the Rabbi “An extraordinary story of deep faith triumphing over painful hardships, told with such refreshing honesty you almost won’t believe it. And did I mention the humor? If you ever thought the brilliant and beautiful Shannon Bream had an easy and perfect life, you’re in for some big surprises. Read it and be encouraged!”—Eric Metaxas, bestselling author of Martin Luther and Bonhoeffer “It’s hard to imagine a person who’s simultaneously wholesome and sophisticated, yet somehow Shannon Bream is both. Her life makes for a great story, not to mention a lesson for the rest of us. It’s not that she’s had it easy. She just glides over the potholes with such grace that it looks that way. This is an awesome book.”—Tucker Carlson, host of Tucker Carlson Tonight and bestselling author of Ship of Fools “What a gift this book will be to your soul. My friend, Shannon, has a fascinating, sometimes devastating, story that she’s chosen to make completely delightful. The way life twists and turns with the unexpected and unpredictable, can leave some of us feeling disillusioned and fighting against the way things turn out. This page turning read will remind you that with God, there’s always beauty to be discovered, and teach you how to look for it in your own story.”—Lysa TerKeurst, bestselling author of Uninvited and It’s Not Supposed to be This Way, president of Proverbs 31 Ministries
Your Hope-Filled Perspective with Dr. Michelle Bengtson podcast
Episode Summary: If you have ever felt like God gave you direction and maybe even a path to take but then life didn’t look like you expected or desired, then today is the perfect show for you. Today we’re going to be talking about maintaining hope even when life doesn’t go or doesn’t look like we expected it to. On today’s show, we’re going to be talking to my friend, Abby McDonald who is going to share with us how she finds hope in Christ in the midst of life’s messes and struggles. So often we think we hear from God for our direction, but then we question Him when things don’t go the way we thought they were supposed to go. We can see God during those seasons, but we have to shift our perspective. Scripture gives us example after example of people who held onto that hope and held onto their faith when they were encountering adversity. They felt called by God, they received a word from Him, and they persevered, but still they encountered struggle and opposition and obstacles. When Jesus called the first disciples, they didn’t see a miracle or anything from Him other than the request to follow Him. Yet they dropped everything and went—it wasn’t until later that they saw Him reveal himself as the true Messiah. We have to look at God’s character and His attributes when we don’t see what we expected. When we receive Christ, we receive a new spirit, but our minds aren’t new. They have to be continually renewed and transformed for our entire lives because we have an enemy who fills our minds with lies. Abby explained how after going through some pretty tumultuous times, she faces life now with much more peace. When situations come up in her life now, she doesn’t always default to fear or doubt anymore, but now recognizes it as an attack and knows what to do now. We talk about how so often we focus on the short term conveniences and happiness rather than the long term rewards that come from faith in Jesus. Surrender is often so hard because it has a passive connotation to it, and when we think of surrender, we think someone is laying down and letting people walk all over them. Our culture hasn’t given us a popular view of surrender. But surrender really brings peace, and that only comes through trusting God. If we will let things go, and not demand we understand all the why’s of our experiences, we can experience His peace when we no longer hold onto that need for control. First, pray, and then know that God has such a beautiful plan for each of our lives. It goes far beyond what we can see in that moment and goes into eternity. He sees all of it and He is knitting all of it together as He works even when we cannot see it. If you prayerfully surrender to God, He will lift that weight. When we try to control things, we are holding on. As long as we hold on (to the bitterness, resentment, unforgiveness, need to control, etc.) our hands are not open to receiving God’s best for us. We have to open up our grasp onto the situation and trust God. When we start acting on what we can’t see yet, we give room for God to move. Quotables from the episode: If we are certain we heard from God, we just have to be obedient and the end result is up to God, not us. We have to hold onto the promises of God. It helps to say Scripture out loud, pray it out loud, and write it down. When you see God deliver you from something or you see an answer to a prayer no matter how small it may seem, write it down, record it, tell someone about it because when you’re in the thick of it, you need to remember it and recall how God has been faithful in the past. If God has been faithful before, we have no reason to doubt that He will be faithful again because that is who He is. He is faithful. Nothing else can stand against the enemy when we have the truth underneath us as our cornerstone. We have to declare God’s truth in those circumstances. We all like the mountain top experiences, but fruit grows in the valley, and it’s there that we learn valuable lessons. Often we focus on the short term conveniences and happiness rather than the long term rewards that come from faith in Jesus. Surrender is essentially telling God that we no longer feel the need to be in control anymore and we are going to trust God enough to give Him control of the situation. Security is only found in Christ alone. We think that if we had answers we would be secure. But faith is not based on what we see, but on what we don’t see. Faith is active, it’s not passive. When we start acting on what we can’t see yet, we give room for God to move. Scripture References: Ecclesiastes 3:9-11, “What do people really get for all their hard work? I have seen the burden God has placed on us all. Yet God has made everything beautiful for its own time. He has planted eternity in the human heart, but even so, people cannot see the whole scope of God’s word from beginning to end.” Proverbs 16:9 “We can make our plans, but the Lord determines our steps.” Hebrews 11:1 says, “Faith shows the reality of what we hope for; it is the evidence of things we cannot see.” 2 Corinthians 4:18 says, “So we don’t look at the troubles we can see now; rather, we fix our gaze on things that cannot be seen. For the things we see now will soon be gone, but the things we cannot see will last forever.” Recommended Resources: It’s Not Supposed to Be This Way by Lysa TerKeurst Shift: Changing Our Focus to See the Presence of God by Abby McDonald Breaking Anxiety’s Grip: How to Reclaim the Peace God Promises by Dr. Michelle Bengtson Breaking Anxiety’s Grip Free Study Guide Hope Prevails: Insights from a Doctor’s Personal Journey Through Depression by Dr. Michelle Bengtson, winner of the Christian Literary Award Reader’s Choice Award Hope Prevails Bible Study by Dr. Michelle Bengtson, winner of the Christian Literary Award Reader’s Choice Award Social Media Links for Host and Guest: To connect with Abby McDonald: Website / Facebook / Instagram / Twitter For more hope, stay connected with Dr. Bengtson at: Order Book Breaking Anxiety’s Grip / Order Book HopePrevails / Website / Blog / Facebook / Facebook Twitter (@DrMBengtson) / LinkedIn / Instagram / Pinterest / YouTube Guest: Abby McDonald is a blogger, speaker, wife and mom whose work has been featured Proverbs 31 Ministries, (in)Courage, For Every Mom, and more.

Teacher: Eric Kieb Teaching: Kingdoms in Collision – We’re Not Supposed to Be Know it Alls Text: Genesis 3:1-10 [Isaiah 14:12-15] Big Idea: We were created to take part in, not take God’s place in the kingdom story. 2019-12-01 DIG Sheet The post Kingdoms in Collision – We’re Not Supposed to Be Know it Alls appeared first on Bay City Grace Church.
Starting today and running through October 30th, She’s in the City is hosting a series called More Precious Than Gold – because all of us are just that! The series will encourage women of all ages on endurance in various seasons of depletion and disappointment and was inspired from the following passage in 1 Peter: “In this you rejoice, though now for a little while, if necessary, you have been grieved by various trials, so that the tested genuineness of your faith – more precious than gold that perishes though it is tested by fire – may be found to result in praise and glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ.” -1 Peter 1:6-7 Each week’s episode will focus on a different season of trial or weariness we face as women. Which begs the question: what if this week’s season doesn’t apply to me? My encouragement is LISTEN ANYWAY! If you haven’t yet experienced something, it’s likely a loved one or dear SHE around you has. We hope in those cases, our talks in the coming weeks can foster compassion in you and serve as a comfort to share with those in your life who are facing these specific seasons. My new favorite motto, which is noted in this week’s episode, is this: “WE’D RATHER BE WITH YOU IN YOUR MESS THAN ALONE IN OURS.” I hope y’all feel the same! This week on She’s in the City we navigate one of the most prevalent and heartbreaking topics of American culture – separation and divorce. The deep wounds of fragmented and terminated marriages plague just as many as they pass over, and we hope you share these two faithful women’s stories with anyone – male or female – that you know facing this hurt. Our guests this week are 31 and 59 respectively, the first of whom is hardly 1 year out from learning of her husband’s infidelity and the second of whom has over 2 decades of a now reconciled marriage. Their stories are different but their hearts very much the same – from their battles with betrayal, struggles to forgive, and their ultimate hope being rooted in the greatest hope, reliance on Christ. “WHEN WE STRUGGLE WE GET TO EXPERIENCE A PART OF GOD WE’VE NEVER REALLY EXPERIENCED BEFORE. AND WHEN WE SHARE THAT HEARTACHE WITH OTHER PEOPLE, WE CAN BE A GLIMPSE OF [GOD] FOR THEM TOO.” We talk about the depleting paradox of emotions in seasons of separation and about how to hold both deep betrayal and deep love in the same moments. We admit the overwhelming weariness when we feel we can’t bear one hurtful more thing. We talk about battling rejection on a daily basis and the courage it takes to seek the Lord’s voice above the barrage of so many others. Both the women share the importance of having a safe haven – a place of solace, peace, and quiet, isolated time wherever you need, every day. They both find that in that place, with broken, surrendered open hands, the Holy Spirit and the power of God can both propel and relieve us in remarkably physical and emotional ways. “IT WAS THE MOST AMAZING MOMENT I’VE EVER HAD,” HANNAH TELLS US, “EVEN THOUGH I STILL DIDN’T KNOW HOW MY MARRIAGE WAS GOING TO END, I KNEW I WOULD BE OKAY.” They admit that forgiveness is a daily choice and a pivotal sacrifice on the road toward peace, regardless of the outcome of the marriage. They admit how much anger is fully merited but how it can also keep us from finding ultimate healing. They talk about acceptance when the relationship ultimately ends in divorce as well as how to earn back trust in a marriage that resolves. No matter where you are in the process of separation or divorce, this week’s message will give you light. I pray it revives, in many ways, your burdened and broken heart and through the courageous testimonies of these two women, turns you back to the One love that can never and will never end.

Trisha Lopez-Davis has the warmest voice and it was an honor to invite her into my kitchen for today’s interview. She’s the co-founder of Hope City Church in Carmel, Indiana — and also a speaker, author, marriage ministry leader and mom of 5. In today’s interview, I speak with Trisha about her recent experience of adopting two children, after already raising three boys, and what it looks like to parent children of a different race who have seen a lot of trauma in their lives. We also talk about when Trisha and her husband, Justin, walked through infidelity in their marriage, causing their marriage and position as pastors to come to a screeching halt. How did they overcome? She tell us — and how they ultimately began a marriage ministry because of it. Her humility and perspective is so beautiful here. One of my favorite quotes from this interview: “Believe that if God has called something on your life — His love for you and belief in you isn’t circumstantial. If you try something and fail, it doesn’t change His love or perception of you. But try anyway.” Trisha also speaks to me about a time recently when she experienced debilitating depression — and how she dealt with it when she didn’t want to tell anyone that she actually reached the the point of suicidal thoughts. She had so many words of wisdom and truths about God’s presence in our lives to share. Though I recorded this weeks ago, I really cherished listening to it again and scooping up some of her advice once again. I know you will get that same feeling as you listen.

Sermon Notes • Matt Hardy • Psalm 42 | Oh My Soul Why Are You Cast Down, Oh My Soul? “We should, in general, reassure Christians suffering from depression that most often their damaged spiritual relationships and feelings are not the cause of the depression, but the consequence of it.” “I’m Not Supposed to Feel Like This” Psalms 32:1-4 1 Blessed is the one whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered. 2 Blessed is the man against whom the Lord counts no iniquity, and in whose spirit there is no deceit. 3 For when I kept silent, my bones wasted away through my groaning all day long. 4 For day and night your hand was heavy upon me; my strength was dried up as by the heat of summer. Selah Psalms 52:3-5 3 For I know my transgressions, and my sin is ever before me. 4 Against you, you only, have I sinned and done what is evil in your sight, so that you may be justified in your words and blameless in your judgment. 5 Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity, and in sin did my mother conceive me. Philippians 1:6 And I am sure of this, that he who began a good work in you will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ. John 10:27-30 27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me. 28 give them eternal life, and they will never perish, and no one will snatch them out of my hand. 29 My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all, and no one is able to snatch them out of the Father’s hand. 30 I and the Father are one.” Romans 9:10-13 10 And not only so, but also when Rebekah had conceived children by one man, our forefather Isaac, 11 though they were not yet born and had done nothing either good or bad—in order that God’s purpose of election might continue, not because of works but because of him who calls— 12 she was told, “The older will serve the younger.” 13 As it is written, “Jacob I loved, but Esau I hated.” Ephesians 2:1-5 1 And you were dead in the trespasses and sins 2 in which you once walked, following the course of this world, following the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that is now at work in the sons of disobedience— 3 among whom we all once lived in the passions of our flesh, carrying out the desires of the body and the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, like the rest of mankind. 4 But God, being rich in mercy, because of the great love with which he loved us, 5 even when we were dead in our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ 2 Corinthians 12:9-10 But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me. 10 For the sake of Christ, then, I am content with weaknesses, insults, hardships, persecutions, and calamities. For when I am weak, then I am strong. C.H. Spurgeon “Reader, never ridicule the nervous and hypochondriacal, their pain is real; though much of the malady lies in the imagination or thought processes it is not imaginary” Martin Lloyd Jones “Christians don’t understand how physical, physcological, and spiritual realms interrelate because Satan muddies the boundaries. Many of our troubles are caused because we think a problem is spiritual when it physical or we think a problem is physical when it is emotional or spiritual. Broken Minds “David and the other psalmist often found themselves deeply depressed for various reasons. They did not, however, apologize for what they are feeling, nor did they confess it as a sin. It was a legitimate part of their relationship with God. They interacted with Him through the context of his depression” “Spiritual Depression” Martin Lloyd Jones “The essence of this matter is to understand that this self of ours, this other man within us, has got to be handled. Do not listen to him; turn on him; speak to him; condemn him; upbraid him; exhort him; encourage him; remind him of what you know, instead of listening placidly to him and allowing him to drag you down and depress you.” “Spiritual Depression” Martin Lloyd Jones Have you realized that most of your unhappiness in life is due to the fact that you are listening to yourself instead of talking to yourself?

Jay Nixon - My Mentor, Coach, Confidant, and Brother. In this episode, Jay and I dig deep into his new book. New Book Details: Learn How to Turn Tragedy and Pain into a Catalyst for Growth and Success! It's been said that pain is a fundamental part of life—a darkness that acts as a contrast to the light. Most, if not all of us experience pain at some point in our lives, particularly the emotional pain of loss. While it may be true that pain is unavoidable, it doesn't have to lead to meaningless suffering. Pain can serve a far greater purpose in your life than something to be feared. Jay Nixon, the bestselling author of The Overweight Mind: The Undeniable Truth Behind Why You're Not Losing Weight is back with a groundbreaking new book, The Purpose of Pain: How to Turn Tragedy into Triumph, Because Life’s Not Supposed to Suck! The Purpose of Pain is a transformational guide that shows you how to turn pain into a catalyst for change—how you can turn your story of tragedy into a life of triumph. In the book, Nixon chronicles his personal struggle with the pain of losing his father at age five in a devastating head-on car crash – an event that cast a two decade-long shadow over his life. Using a combination of direct truths and a touch of humor, Nixon walks you step by step through the process he used to overcome the tragedy that had dominated his life, and turn it into a life of triumph and success. The result is a compassionate guide that anyone can use to conquer emotional pain in all of its many forms. In this book, you’ll learn: How honoring your pain helps jumpstart the healing process Tools and tactics to avoid tragedy that dictate your future How to shift your mindset from victim to warrior How to use your pain for purpose instead of sadness Why rituals are powerful and how to use them to heal Permission to stop feeling guilty about claiming the happiness you deserve What the Personal Development Vortex is—and how to avoid it. ...and much more! Most of all, you’ll pinpoint the habits and thinking patterns you’ve been unconsciously using to sabotage your own progress, so you can overcome your pain and turn it into a catalyst for progress.

The Cost of Broken Promises The cost of breaking promises to ourselves is unquantifiable. You eventually get to a place where you no longer believe the words that come out of your mouth. You eventually get to a place where you don't even trust yourself anymore. And that is a dangerous place to be in life. Broken promises lead to: *Lack of self-worth *No self-belief *Low or non-existent self-esteem *Zero trust in yourself If you're in this place, it's not too late to make a shift. It's not too late to rebuild your self-esteem. All you have to do is follow the steps we chat about in this podcast episode. Thanks for listening to the Thrive Forever Fit Show!

We initially met up with historian and philosopher Daniele Bolelli to discuss the Lakota people and other Plains tribes, but naturally our conversation expanded into modern individualism, practical intellect, disdain for variety, narrative thinking & bad mental health, happiness, community, what constitutes a tribe, nationalism, conservative post-modern utopian thinking, morality & religion expressed through politics, lose-lose situations (screwing over the world and still being unhappy), living on autopilot, lazy thinking, centrism, sh*tposting, social media toxicity creating addiction, Taoism & thinking in percentages (Bayesian reasoning), game theory, absolute thinking IS dogma (even when you think splitting it down the middle is always the right answer), the mixed mental arts of mixed martial arts, podcasts & continued education, and then more about American Plains tribes. It's a long podcast but we sincerely feel like not one second was wasted. And though we veered into nearly everything, we believe what we ended up recording will go down in podcasting history as pretty good. Pretty, pretty, pretty good.

Today Mary Scott interviews her dear friend, Leah Chabai! Leah and and Mary Scott work together and technically she’s sorta her boss. Today Leah shares about her health scare with Lyme Disease a few years ago… Leah talks about how dealing with her illness shaped every part of her life and made her quite the adventure junkie. We talk about intentional planning with yourself and lovee ones, world trips and all the fun in between. Leah is the content director for Lysa TerKeurst at Proverbs 31 Ministries. In the last five years, she’s had the opportunity to launch three New York Times’ best-selling books: It’s Not Supposed to Be This Way, Uninvited and The Best Yes with Lysa. Leah is a big fan of iced coffee, thrifting and checking things off her bucket list — which consists of seeing the world. She and her husband Paul live in Charlotte, NC.

I am thrilled to have Lysa Terkeurst with me on this episode of Thriving Beyond Belief! And why am I thrilled.......let me count the ways: 1. We have a similar stories and the same Redemptive God 2. We both have had serious marriage struggles, but God still Reconciled 3. Both marriages have hurts, pains, resentments and anger, but God still Restored 4. Trust has to be rebuilt with time and consistency, and God never leaves us or forsakes us 5. Vulnerability happened for both of us, & God desires intimacy with all of us! He wants our heart! Lysa just published a new book “It’s Not Supposed to Be This Way” and it has resonated so deeply with me and I hope you each receive an opportunity to read it. One of Lysa’s goals with this book is to make sure others don’t feel alone in their journey, which so closely correlates with the ministry Jeff and I have given our life to. The amazing thing is how Lysa has seen how the circumstances in her life have led to deep and painful times before the Lord, which leads further to deeper understanding of the Word of God and to be an even more reliable teacher of the Word. We talk about the deep, difficult questions of who God is and how He could allow life-altering painful situations happen to His children. Lysa dives into her own journey of emotional healing through the church and Christian counseling and how that led so much to the content in her book. We also discuss the redemption and restoration of the hard times, mainly with the Lord and then with others in our lives. From Lysa sharing her story, the Gospel is being shared and there has been so much healing for so many just by knowing that they are not alone, even in the valley. And what joins each of us in the valley is the truth of God’s Word and His character. Lysa shares with vulnerability what she now has to work through because of what has happened in life, and beautifully clarifies the healthy difference between vulnerability in sharing and the importance of privacy. We even talk about no longer taking things for granted, but taking every situation to the Lord. We take our situation out of the center of our lives and replace that with the Lord. He is the only one that can bring peace and remove fear. “God loves us too much to answer our prayer in any other time than the right time and in any other way than the right way.” This is one episode you will not want to miss. I hope you join me!

Two years ago, popular teacher and author Lysa TerKeurst announced that her husband had had an affair. Her latest book chronicles her agonizing journey of disappointment, and the wrestling with God that we are all invited to, in times of deep pain and overwhelming confusion. If their marriage wasn't trauma enough, Lysa was diagnosed with breast cancer shortly afterwards, and had to journey through much of it without the support she had been used to her entire life. We talked about pain, forgiveness, and how God uses our very dust to create new life.Resources:It's Not Supposed to Be This Way, by Lysa TerKeurstUninvited: Living Loved When You Feel Less Than, Left Out, and Lonely, by Lysa TerKeurstSupport the show at patreon.com/jonathanpuddle
