A New Way To Live | Ryan McCarthy--God teaches Peter that the gospel is meant to include those who he had previously thought could not be his people.--Notes

In John 9, Jesus meets a man born blind, and almost everyone around him wants to turn his pain into a question of blame. Who sinned? Who's responsible? Who deserves this?But Jesus sees something different.This message invites us to reconsider the way we see suffering, people, church, and even ourselves. Because the miracle in this story is not only that a blind man receives sight. It's that Jesus exposes the blindness in everyone else and offers to open our eyes too.

In Part 3 of this conversation, retired Army Major Jeff Frankart gets practical. After 30 years treating Navy SEALs, Special Forces operators, and thousands of civilians, he breaks down the exact habits, exercises, and everyday mistakes that determine whether your body stays strong, stable, and independent for decades to come.

It's crawfish season! Today Chris and Kimberly talk about the Road to Emmaus. God opened their eyes to witness the risen savior, and he can open ours as well. We discuss how connecting to God's Word connects us to a power unmatched to anything in our physical world, and it's all available to us through the Bible. So find a group, boil some crawfish (with or without mushrooms), and talk about Jesus!

When life feels overwhelming and daily responsibilities seem paralyzing, it's easy to wonder: How could I possibly make a difference? Amos was a shepherd, not a celebrity or a political leader, yet God used him to confront injustice among his own people. Even though Israel had received God's favor and His law, they continued to ignore His heart. Pastors Shawn Williams and Fabian Garza remind us that God's call is clear: His people must reflect His justice and compassion. This message challenges us to open our eyes to the hurting, the marginalized, and the forgotten in our own communities and around the world. As we launch Celebration of Hope, you're invited to step in and step up in the fight against injustice.

In this episode of The Illuminated Woman, I'm diving into one of the strangest, most eye-opening sections of the Old Testament—Numbers 21 - 24. These chapters are filled with unexpected messengers: a fiery serpent, a talking donkey, and a corrupt oracle. And yet, each one is used by God to confront, correct, and protect.I share a personal story about how one small word - church - kept showing up in my life during the summer of 2024. I didn't want it. I tried to ignore it. But just like the serpent in the wilderness, the donkey on the road, or the prophetic blessing spoken by Balaam, it was the unexpected thing God used to open my eyes.This episode is for the woman who's been hearing a whisper she didn't expect. The one who's unsure if God could really be speaking through pain, people she dismissed, or even circumstances that feel confrontational. We'll unpack what these strange messengers reveal about God's protection, His holiness, and the way He opens the eyes of His daughters - even when they've been wandering.

Most strokes don't come out of nowhere many give silent warnings first, and your eyes may be one of the earliest places to detect them. In this episode, Dr. Ana Rosa explains how a routine eye exam can reveal early signs of stroke risk, reduced blood flow, microemboli, and vascular changes connected directly to the brain. Learn how eye-based findings, combined with imaging like carotid Doppler and transcranial Doppler, can help identify hidden dangers before a major stroke happens and what lifestyle changes can dramatically lower risk.

Stroke risk doesn't begin suddenly it builds silently through inflammation and vascular damage. In Part 2, Dr. Ana Rosa explains why inflammation, insulin resistance, and unstable plaque are the true drivers of stroke risk, and why blockage percentage alone doesn't tell the full story. Learn how doctors use imaging like carotid ultrasound, MRI, and MRA to identify dangerous soft plaque early and how daily lifestyle habits can slow, stop, or even reverse vascular damage before it leads to stroke.

Cancer doesn't just attack the body it can destroy families financially and emotionally. In this episode, Elizabeth Rohaidy shares the heartbreaking reality of what happens after a cancer diagnosis: medical bills, lost income, emotional trauma, and the risk of losing everything even with insurance. This powerful conversation exposes the hidden financial toxicity of cancer, why so many families face bankruptcy, and how community support can make the difference between stability and collapse.

A red eye is not always allergies or irritation it can be a sign of a serious eye infection. In this episode, we break down the real causes of red eye, including ocular herpes, chlamydia eye infections, and other conditions that are often misdiagnosed or ignored. Many of these infections can lead to permanent vision damage if they are treated too late or with the wrong eye drops. Learn how to recognize the warning signs that mean a red eye is an emergency, why “waiting it out” can be dangerous, and when common treatments can actually make things worse.

A red, painful eye is not always allergies it can be ocular herpes, a serious infection that can permanently damage your vision if treated incorrectly. In Part 2, Dr. Mika Moy explains how herpes simplex virus (HSV) affects the eye, what herpes keratitis looks like, and why early symptoms are often missed. Learn how doctors identify the classic “dendrite” pattern on the cornea, why steroid eye drops can make the infection worse, and when antiviral treatment must start immediately.

Some hauntings begin with a single knock, a shadow, a whisper. Others begin long before a child learns how to fear them. Tonight's story reaches back to the moment a newborn survived fire, blood, and death — and the door those moments may have opened. From a burned hut in Thailand to a quiet suburban bedroom in Minnesota, something followed him. It scratched at windows for months. It climbed onto his bed. It whispered commands he couldn't ignore. And on one unforgettable night, it dragged him into a blinding white void where dozens of pale hands reached for him and a voice screamed the same warning over and over: “Don't open your eyes.” This is not the story of a haunted house. It is the story of a haunted life. A haunting that began before memory… and never truly ended. #ShadowPeople #LifelongHaunting #ParanormalEncounters #ChildhoodHaunting #NearDeathExperiences #SupernaturalStories #TrueGhostStory #ParanormalPodcast #UnseenPresence  Love real ghost stories?

Welcome to the now sixth annual State of the Horror Nation.   This is the mega-episode, in which I gather a darkly-inclined supergroup of horror fans and commentators—a horror cabinet, if you will—to cast their informed eyes and minds over the year's best horror.   We talk trends, generation gaps, terrifying moments, and pick what they consider to be their favourite scary books of 2025.   I am just a bystander and the man with the edit button. Bringing the talent and the opinion are Emily Hughes, Anna Dupre and George Dunn. Together they present a tapestry of horror in red and black and other hideous colours.   Suffer your TBR piles.   Enjoy.   Books Picked   Angel Down (2025), by Daniel Kraus Black Flame (2025), by Gretchen Felker Martin Futility (2025), Nuzo Ozoh One Yellow Eye (2025), by Leigh Radford Play Nice (2025), by Rachel Harrison Spread Me (2025), by Sarah Gailey Veil (2025), by Jonathan Janz When the Wolf Comes Home (2025), by Nat Cassidy What Hunger (2025), by Catherine Dang   Books Anticipated   Cruelty Free (2026), by Caroline Glenn Daytide (2026), by Chris Panatier Femme Feral (2026), by Sam Bessinger For Human Use (2026), by Sarah G.

One of the most insidious aspects of the “conspiracy theory” fabrication is that the falsehoods associated with the term have been successfully seeded into the public's consciousness. We are now learning through the release of the Epstein emails that the so-called conspiracy theory about elitist sex rituals and pedophilia is a far darker truth than we realize. And while sincere researchers and investigators are often ridiculed for passing these stories about organized sexual trafficking, they are again right about the secret -- that the prominent bloodlines, politicians, and Hollywood are literally vampires that rob the virtues of the young, through sexual ritualism and in some cases, blood drinking. Our Eyes are Wide Shut, because many people don‘t really want to accept the heinous and morbid reality of the evil that lurks in the shadows.
