Listener discretion is advised.When the nation woke up to breaking news about a 19‑year‑old from Ohio allegedly plotting an attack on the UFC Freedom event in Washington, D.C., most people saw a headline. But behind that headline was a terrified mother who made an unthinkably brave choice: she contacted law enforcement and handed over the evidence that stopped a potential mass‑casualty attack. Her courage saved lives.What investigators uncovered was chilling. A young man pulled into an online extremist network that fed his anger,validated his darkest thoughts, and encouraged him to gather weapons, drones, and ammunition. This wasn't random. It was targeted, strategic, and rooted in the same digital grooming tactics used to recruit vulnerable teens every day.On this episode of the Protect & Prevent Podcast (P3 Kids), Opal Singleton Hendershot of MillionKids.org, one of the leading voices in keeping kids safe from predators, breaks down how online radicalization actually happens.The psychology, the grooming, the platforms, and the victim profiles extremists look for. We'll show parents the early warning signs that something is wrong, the subtle shifts that signal a child is being pulled into a dangerous ideology, and the digital spaces where predators and extremist groupsquietly recruit.This isn't fear‑mongering. It's prevention. And it starts with understanding how one mother's courage prevented a tragedy and how awareness can protect countless other families.For more info and to donate to this 501(c)3 charity, you can reach Million Kids at:Website: https://MillionKids.orgEmail: info@MillionKids.orgBe sure to follow and like our posts on:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/IEMillionKidsInstagram: https://instagram.com/MillionKidsTeen
On this episode of the Protect & Prevent Podcast (P3 Kids), Opal Singleton Hendershot of MillionKids.org, one of the leading voices in keeping kids safe from predators, looks at the most important conversation you can have with your teen and what to say.You are holding one of the most powerful devices in human history. A phone or tablet isn't just a gadget, it's a doorway to more than five billion people around the world. No generation before you has ever had this kind of access, influence, or opportunity.And I'm giving it to you because I believe in you.I trust your judgment.I trust your character.I trust the choices you will make when no one is watching. Every click, every comment, every message shapes how the world sees you and how you see yourself. Your digital reputation is your choice. Online, you will meet people who inspire you and people who will try to influence you. Some will tell thetruth. Some will lie. Some will use deepfakes, pressure, or manipulation to get what they want. But you get to choose: what you believe, what you share, what you reject and who you become.When you see someone being bullied, blackmailed, or humiliated online, you have a choice. You can pile on or you can show empathy, knowing that with deepfake technology, anyone could be targeted next. You can delete harmful images… or you can spread them and add to someone's pain. Empathy or cruelty, you get to choose.Your choices matter. They shape the digital world you live in.At the same time, the most powerful words you will ever hear are the ones you say to yourself. If you believe you are strong, capable, and valuable, you are more likely to act like it. If you believe you are unlovable or alone, you become vulnerable to anyone who offers attention. Never hand your self‑worth to strangers online.You are valuable because you decide you are valuable.As your parent, I will monitor your online world but you're smart. You know how to get around things. That's why trust matters more than filters. I trust you to make the right choices. I trust you to come to me if something goes wrong. And I promise to stay calm, listen, and work through it with you.You are the first generation with this kind of power. Never before has a young person had so much opportunity for good or for harm. And the choice is yours.And I believe you will choose well.

The podcast content may contain sensitive topics. Listener discretion is advised. CAPACITY. It's the single most important and often most overlooked factor in protecting children from online exploitation. Parents often ask, “What age is safe for a child to be online?” But age isn't the real question.Capacity is.Does your child have the maturity, reasoning skills, and emotional grounding to navigate a digital world sharedwith 5.5 billion people, including individuals who intentionally target minors?Do they understand enough about adult behavior and boundaries to recognize grooming when it begins and not after it's too late? And perhaps most importantly, is your relationship strong enough that they will come to you themoment something feels wrong?On this episode of the Protect & Prevent Podcast (P3 Kids), Opal Singleton Hendershot of MillionKids.org, one of the leading voices in keeping kids safe from predators, breaks down what “capacity” really means and why it matters more than ever. You'll learn how to build a positive, instructive relationship to help young people recognize both the value and dangers of being online. We will explore helpful conversations andeven written agreements that can assist parents and minors before they find themselves in danger. The online world is evolving daily. Your child's ability to navigate it safely depends on more than filters, apps, or rules. It depends on their capacity to recognize danger, setboundaries, and to know when to reach out for help. This episode gives parents the tools to build that capacity before a crisis ever begins.

After more than four years of conflict, the war in Ukraine has produced an unprecedented body of data on rapid innovation, emerging technology, and the evolving role of drone warfare and unmanned systems on the modern battlefield. The pressing question for U.S. defense planners is which of those lessons can be translated to the U.S. way of war, and which, if applied too directly, risk misdirecting future force development.In this episode, host Dr. Arun Seraphin is joined by Anna Kim, Associate Research Fellow at the Emerging Technologies Institute (ETI), and Matt Dooley, President and CEO of Fidelium and Chair of the NDIA Robotics Division, to discuss their ETI white paper, "Beyond Attrition: Interpreting the Limits of Lessons from Ukraine for Future US Force Development." The paper examines what full integration of drone technologies, autonomous systems, and emerging military technologies into the U.S. Joint Force would actually require.The conversation explores why Ukraine's battlefield innovation and drone-driven "iteration under fire" model cannot be copied wholesale into the U.S. statutory and industrial environment, the enduring importance of combined arms warfare, and why the future force depends on integrating attritable unmanned systems with legacy maneuver platforms rather than choosing between them. Kim and Dooley also discuss the Army's Transformation in Contact (TiC) and Human Machine Integrated Formation (HMIF) initiatives, Project Convergence, and the Pentagon's Drone Dominance program, along with the production, sustainment, and training challenges of fielding robotic, autonomous, and emerging technology-enabled warfare capabilities at the scale a future fight will demand.Read ETI's White Paper "Beyond Attrition: Interpreting the Limits of Lessons from Ukraine for Future US Force Development": https://www.emergingtechnologiesinstitute.org/publications/brief-series/beyond-attritionLearn more about NDIA's Robotics Division: https://www.ndia.org/divisions/roboticsFor updates on our content, sign up for our weekly mailer: https://www.emergingtechnologiesinstitute.org/sign-upSAVE THE DATE:2026 NDIA Future Force Capabilities Conference & Exhibition, June 8–10, 2026, at Caesars Forum in Las Vegas, NV — where Anna and Matt will continue the conversation: https://ndiaffc.org2026 NDIA Emerging Technologies for Defense Conference and ExhibitionSeptember 9-10, 2026, at the Walter E.

Financial Sextortion: Words Every Parent Should Know (and Never Have to Deal With)The podcast content may contain sensitive topics. Listener discretion is advised.Financial sextortion is not a “rare online scam.” It is a heart‑breaking, fast‑growing crime that has already stolen the lives of more than 40 bright, successful young people across the United States. These were athletes, scholars, and leaders with futures. Many had parents who had never even heard of financial sextortion until it was too late.Million Kids is determined to change that.Because NEVER AGAIN should a family lose a child simply because no one warned them how this crime works.On this episode of the Protect & Prevent Podcast (P3 Kids), Opal Singleton Hendershot of MillionKids.org, one of the leading voices in keeping kids safe from predators, provides not just information but also prevention, protection and a lifeline.What Parents Need to Know Right Now…Financial sextortion almost always begins with organized overseas criminal networks. These are not “kids being kids online.” These are highly coordinated groups operating out of places like Nigeria, Ivory Coast, Myanmar, Pakistan, and the Philippines. They especially target high‑achieving young males who look confident, successful, and connected.Here's the pattern:A criminal pretends to be a cute girl who “knows” them or their friends.She sends a photo. She asks for one back.The boy sends something — sometimes fully clothed, sometimes a partially nude image. It doesn't matter as thecriminals can use AI and deepfake tools to alter the image into something explicit.And then the blackmail begins. The threats are instant, relentless, and terrifying.The victim believes his entire world, his family, his friends, his reputation are about to collapse.He has no idea he has been targeted by international criminals, not a peer. He panics and feels trapped.Far too many young men have made a tragic, irreversible decision in that moment of fear. This is why parents mustunderstand this crime. This is why teens must hear the truth before a predator reaches them. This is why this podcast matters.When teens learn about sextortion before it happens, they respond differently. They recognize the signs and they know it is a scam. They reach out for help instead of hiding in shame. But they can only do that if we, the adults, understand the threat first.This episode gives parents the knowledge, language, and confidence to protect their kids. It breaks down the tactics, the psychology, the technology, and the red flags. It gives families a plan.Start by educating yourself and your community today. Share this podcast with friends, schools, churches, teams, and youth groups. Then have a calm, honest conversation with your teens.Explain what financial sextortion is, how it works, and why they will never be in trouble asking for help.Do a full digital profile check as a family. See what strangers can see about your family online. Set every app to private and remove photos of your children from public spaces.Create a family code word. Something simple that means: “I need help right now.”Together as adults we must work together to educate our family and communities.

The podcast content may contain sensitive topics. Listener discretion is advised.About 40% of relationships now begin online. Many turn into beautiful, healthy, lifelong partnerships.On this episode of the Protect & Prevent Podcast (P3 Kids), Opal Singleton Hendershot of MillionKids.org, one of the leading voices in keeping kids safe from predators, talks about the other side of online relationships that no one wants to believe could happen to them.Teens. Adults. Seniors. People looking for connection… and instead finding manipulation, grooming, blackmail, or heartbreak engineered by someone who never existed in the first place.And here's the part most people don't realize: We're not just meeting a few strangers online anymore. We're sharing digital space with 5.5 BILLION people, many who havethe same tools we do, such as:• Geo‑location tools• Global money transfer for extortion • AI-generated deepfakes• Massive amounts of personal data about us like where we live, work, and who we loveDigital relationships feel real because the brain releases the same dopamine as in-person connection. And when people feel safe behind a screen, they share more including more emotion, more vulnerability, more intimate content… and sometimes, even more than they ever intended.We discuss risk factors to consider, indicators that you might be being groomed or seduced, and suggested discussions in talking with your teen about healthy vetting processesin online relationships. If you or someone you love is considering or navigating online dating, online friendships, or online “connections,” this episode is not optional. It's essential.Protect yourself. Protect your family.

The podcast content may contain sensitive topics.Listener discretion is advised.A story broke recently that should shake every parent totheir core. In Southern California, the Riverside County Child Exploitation Team identified 500 suspects and arrested 42 individuals in a massive child‑exploitation sting called Operation Volcano. The alleged offenders weren't the “monsters in the shadows” we imagine. They allegedly included a child psychologist, an ex–law enforcement employee, a hospital CTO, and two corporate vice presidents.The very people families are taught to trust.On this episode of the Protect & Prevent Podcast (P3Kids), Opal Singleton Hendershot of MillionKids.org, one of the leading voices in keeping kids safe from predators, talks about CSAM (previously called “child pornography,”) and how technology has supercharged it into a global, industrial‑scale criminal economy. Today, predators can access, trade, and sell images ofminors through dark‑net markets, bulletproof hosting sites, and peer‑to‑peer networks with terrifying ease. One global CSAM ring had over 1.6 million paid subscribers.Most parents have no idea how quickly a predator can groom a young person, obtain illicit images, and funnel them into these networks or how those images are used, multiplied, and monetized forever. This episode pulls back the curtain.We look at how CSAM has evolved from isolated crimes toglobal, tech‑driven criminal enterprises, the technologies predators now rely on, who these offenders really are and why they collect thousands of images from minors and what actually happens to a photo once a predator gets it.We'll also discuss how to talk to your child so theyunderstand the real‑world consequences and what to do immediately if you suspect your child is a victim of CSAM, sextortion, or a deepfake.Parents can't protect their kids from a threat they don'tunderstand. This episode gives families the clarity, language, and action steps they need to navigate one of the most urgent dangers facing young people today.

The podcast content may contain sensitive topics. Listener discretion is advised. We're suggesting a different kind of conversation about social media — one that goes beyond rules, restrictions, and arguments about screen time. For years, families have wrestled with what to allow, what to block, and how to keep kidssafe online. I wanted to share something I heard recently because it changes everything.Your teen has been using social media and online technology for a long time now. You've taught them well. You trust their judgment. And you know they would never intentionally do something that could harm themselves or embarrass your family.But here's the truth that is hard to admit: Sextortion isn't new but the technology behind it is. And the way predators operate today is nothing like what we as adults are familiar with and taught our kids to watch out for.Most teens genuinely believe they'll “know” if they're being catfished. They believe they'll recognize a predator. They believe they'll see danger coming.On this episode of the Protect & Prevent Podcast (P3 Kids), Opal Singleton Hendershot of MillionKids.org, one of the leading voices in keeping kids safe from predators, shares how the world changed around 2022. The entire globe became connected by 5G high‑speed internet. At the same time, we all began usingtechnologies that didn't exist a decade ago:• geo‑location tracking• globalmoney transfer• mass‑audience live streaming• artificial intelligence capable of altering images and identitiesThis combination created a perfect storm.For the first time in history, your child can reach the entire world and the entire world can reach your child, instantly, invisibly, and with tools that make a criminal in Nigeria or Myanmar look like a cute 14‑year‑old from your child's school.This isn't fear‑mongering.It's reality.And it means the old conversations about “don't talk to strangers online” are no longer enough.This podcast dives into what has changed, why it matters, and how parents and teens can navigate this new digital landscape together. It's not about blame. It's not about shame. It's about understanding the technology that now shapes our children's lives and the criminals who know exactly how to exploit it.This may be one of the most important conversations you ever have with your family. And it starts with understanding what's really happening out there.Listen to the podcast. Share it. Talk about it.Your child's safety depends on it.

The podcast content may contain sensitive topics. Listener discretion is advised.For more than a decade, Million Kids has carried a mission that no family ever wants to need. It is the Million Kids Missing Kids program. It began with heartbreaking conversations:parents sitting across from us, voices shaking, describing the moment their teenager vanished. The fear. The confusion. The unbearable silence that follows when a child you love disappears seemingly without a trace.Thanks to the generosity of our supporters, we've been able to send out thousands of flyers, each one carrying the face of a child who deserves to be found. Those flyers matter. They save lives. And they give families hope in the darkest moments of their lives.Recently, our community watched the case of Celeste Hernandez, a beautiful young girl whose story ended in a tragedy too painful for words. Our hearts ache for her family. While this loss is devastating, it's important to rememberthat most cases do not end this way. Many young people are found. Many families are reunited. And every successful recovery fuels our determination to keep going.On this episode of the Protect & Prevent Podcast (P3 Kids), Opal Singleton Hendershot of MillionKids.org, one of the leading voices in keeping kids safe from predators, takes a look at why young people run. In our experience, a runaway is almost always doing one of two things: They're either running FROM something or someone or running TO something or someone.We'll explore the pressures, conflicts, and vulnerabilities that push teens to leave and the strategies that can prevent a moment of crisis from turning into a lifelong tragedy. Because with the right conversations, the right awareness, and the right support, many of these young people can avoid becoming victims of exploitation once they're outon their own.And to every supporter who stands with us: you make this work possible. You help us bring kids home. You help us protect families. And you help us shine a light into places where too many young people feel alone.This is a conversation every parent, guardian, and community member needs to hear.For more info and to donate to this 501(c)3 charity, you can reach MillionKids at:Website: https://MillionKids.orgEmail: info@MillionKids.orgBe sure to follow and like our posts on:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/IEMillionKidsInstagram: https://instagram.com/MillionKidsTeenX: https://x.com/IEMillionKids

I ended up on the roof... The security guard down below: 'What are you doing up there?'

THE WORLD HAS SHIFTED… Have you noticed?And whether we've noticed or not, our kids are alreadyliving in a new reality.Today, 5.5 billion people are online. Nearly all of themhave access to the same powerful tools your family does including 5G speed, global money transfer, geolocation tracking, AI-driven data mining, anddeepfake technology that can make anyone look like someone you trust.That means this anyone, anywhere in the world, can appearto be your teenager's “friend.”On this episode of the Protect & Prevent Podcast (P3Kids), Opal Singleton Hendershot of MillionKids.org, one of the leading voices in keeping kids safe from predators, talks about the conversations that are needed with teens about healthy versus unhealthy and dangerous onlinerelationships.When you ask a teen about online exploitation, most willconfidently say: “I'll know if someone is trying to blackmail me or sextort me.”But parents this is the moment to lean in and ask: “How?What exactly are you looking for? What's your criteria?”Because here's the truth most families don't realize: Theold safety rule of “I only talk to people I know or people my friends know” no longer works.Organized criminal networks overseas can now run a fullprofile on your child in minutes. They can see their followers. They can see who they interact with. They can mimic their humor, their interests, their friend group. And suddenly, they're not a stranger but the “new best friend” who seems to know everything.This episode breaks down:- How to talk with your teen about what a healthy online relationship looks like and not just “someone I know,” but real, measurable signs of safety.- How to help them recognize the red flags of adangerous online relationship even when the person seems familiar, friendly, or connected.- How overseas criminal groups run financialsextortion operations targeting teens and why even smart, confident, high-achieving kids are getting trapped.If you're a parent, grandparent, educator, or youthleader, this conversation is no longer optional.It's essential.Your teen is navigating a digital battlefield.This podcast gives you the tools to help guide themthrough it.

(The podcast content may contain sensitive topics. Listenerdiscretion is advised.)This week, our team dug into two recent cases of sextrafficking involving young girls and women. These cases were so brutal and heartbreaking they make you stop in your tracks. As we read and analyzed them, one conviction rose to the surface: never again should another young person beviolated, manipulated, or sexually exploited.On this episode of the Protect & Prevent Podcast (P3Kids), Opal Singleton Hendershot of MillionKids.org, one of the leading voices in keeping kids safe from predators, speaks directly to all moms about the conversations that can protect their daughters long before a predator ever enters the picture. Today's pimps and exploiters use every doorway availableincluding social media, dating apps, gaming chats, school hallways, malls, even friendships to access, seduce, groom, and ultimately trap their victims. One trafficker openly admitted he targeted girls with “low self‑esteem.” To the girl, it feels like a relationship. To the exploiter, it's a strategy. Too often it turns into a nightmare she thinks she can't escape.We break down how to build the kind of confidence andclarity that makes a young person hard to recruit. Because self‑esteem isn't something you're born with, it's a decision you make every day.We encourage young people to write down their values, define who they are, and decide what they stand for. We talk about what a healthy relationship looks like, what red flags to run from, and how sex (in the right context) is a bond, not a weapon. But in the wrong hands, it becomes a tool ofcontrol, shame, and pain.And above all, we dismantle one of the most destructive lieskids so often believe. We want them to know there is no such thing as “damaged goods.” No matter what has happened, it is never too late to step out of a harmful situation. You are valuable. You are loved. You can choose differently starting today.Because sometimes the four most powerful words a youngperson can hear are: “I believe in you.”TWO RECENT CASES: Stockton man found guilty of sextrafficking, abusing foster youth David Hall case.

(The podcast content may contain sensitive topics.Listener discretion is advised.)How serious is it? Are terrorists, pedophiles and extremistsactually targeting our kids? The short answer: Yes! The tactics are far more sophisticated than most families realize.On this episode of the Protect & Prevent Podcast (P3 Kids), Opal Singleton Hendershot of MillionKids.org, one of the leading voices in keeping kids safe from predators, takes you inside the digital battleground where minors are being targeted every day. We're not dealing with “strangerdanger” anymore. We're dealing with organized criminal groups, extremist networks, and online cults who deliberately infiltrate the spaces where kids feel safest including gaming platforms, chatrooms, social apps, and private messaging channels.A warning before you listen: This episode addressesdifficult but essential topics. We examine real cases where minors were exposed to CSAM through gaming chats and encrypted apps, extremist propaganda disguised as “edgy humor”, self‑harm encouragement from anonymous online groups, grooming and manipulation by Group 764 (formerly the CVLT cult) and coercion and psychological control by leaders of “Greggy's Cult”But this isn't just about the crimes, it is about the patterns. We break down the behavioral shifts that often appear when a young person is being groomed, manipulated, or radicalized online. These signs are subtle, easy to miss, and often misinterpreted as “teen moodiness” or “normal privacy.”Most importantly, we give parents and caregivers tips on what to watch for and the critical conversations to have with your teen so they will recognize if they encounter these groups and know how to respond. Kids today aren't just scrolling. They're navigating a global digital landscape where criminals, extremists, and predators are actively competing for their attention.And families deserve to understand the battlefield.For more info and to donate to this 501(c)3 charity, you canreach Million Kids at:Website: https://MillionKids.orgEmail: info@MillionKids.orgBe sure to follow and like our posts on:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/IEMillionKidsInstagram: https://app.parler.com/millionkidsX: https://x.com/notificationsLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/opal-singleton-48641/

(The podcast content may contain sensitive topics. Listenerdiscretion is advised.)Every day in America, kids disappear and for too many ofthem, the danger begins the moment they walk out the door. Missing and runaway minors are among the highest at risk victims of sex trafficking, and the numbers are staggering.NCMEC reports that 1 in 7 missing children they handle are likely victims of trafficking. And among all child trafficking victims, 86% are girls.Here's the part most people never hear: One out of six kidswho go missing will be victims of trafficking within the first 48 hours. Why? Because they're alone, scared, and trying to survive and predators know exactly how to exploit that vulnerability.On this episode of the Protect & Prevent Podcast (P3Kids), Opal Singleton Hendershot of MillionKids.org, one of the leading voices in keeping kids safe from predators, examines the connection between missing minors and being sex trafficked.Just this past month, Riverside County authorities rescuedtwo girls, just 14 and 15 years old, during an operation focused on endangered and missing children. They were found with a man in Los Angeles with a history of pimping and pandering. He was arrested on Figueroa Street, aka the “blade”,and if found guilty faces 10 years to life in federal prison.For fifteen years, Million Kids has been fighting on thefront lines through the Million Kids Missing Kids program.

Send us a textDr. A. Mark Fendrick joins Dr. Michael Koren to discuss his life and legacy promoting value-based insurance design (VBID). VBID is the idea is that procedures which are neccecary should cost patients less than thsoe that are optional, and is seen in the US with many insurance plans offering 100% coverage of preventative services. Dr. Fendrick recounts his career and how he managed to get VBID language in healthcare laws under both Republican and Democratic legislatures, and that focusing on out-of-pocket patient costs has proved a beneficial strategy to getting policy passed. Dr. Fendrick closes the discussion talking about the future of healthcare in America, from the devestating loss of coverage due to changing administrations to the promise and danger of AI in the healthcare space.Visit Dr. Fendrick at Vbidcenter.orgBe a part of advancing science by participating in clinical research.Have a question for Dr. Koren?

The moment John Bunker saw the 200+ year old tree, he knew it might be special. He had no idea however, that it was one of America's oldest surviving apple trees, a French ancestor to many of the apple varieties we know and love today. Combining Todd Little-Siebold's historical research and Cameron Peace's genetic work, in this special interview the three of them are able to tell a story of this apple tree that is not unlike the story of many new species discoveries.

In this Bible Study, we cover Leviticus chapter 15, which talks all about bodily discharges; both regularly occurring discharges as well as irregular ones. We will look at these in the context of being “clean” as it relates to the Israelites' ability to worship in the Tabernacle. We will also look at modern applications as we look at our filthy rags and our need to be cleansed. Outline:01:39 - Introduction02:14 - What does clean and unclean mean in Leviticus?07:04 - How does a “discharge” differ from a “defiling skin disease” of Lev 13-14. Psalm 19.12 - “cleanse me from my hidden faults.”08:05 - Leviticus 15.1-308:42 - What is an unusual bodily discharge? Word study: “Body” bāśār בָּשָׂר. “Discharge” zûḇ זוּב. Ex 3.8.12:57 - Leviticus 15.4-12. Unusual bodily discharges for men and the repercussions of them. What are examples of bodily discharges that Leviticus 15.1-12 is talking about? Diarrhea, Puss, and Gonorrhea?17:18 - Leviticus 15.13-15. Outline of what must be done for a man who has an unusual (not regular) bodily discharge to be cleansed. Included waiting 7 days, cleaning, and then bringing an offering (2 doves or 2 young pigeons); one for a sin offering, the other for a burnt offering.19:09 - Leviticus 15.16-18. Regularly occurring male discharges.21:51 - Leviticus 15.19-24. Regularly occurring female discharges.24:00 - Leviticus 15.25-27. Irregularly occurring female discharges.25:07 - Leviticus 15.28-30. Outline of what a woman must do to be cleansed from irregular discharges (including waiting 7 days, cleaning, and then bringing an offering (2 doves or 2 young pigeons); one for a sin offering, the other for a burnt offering.26:35 - Luke 8.40-48 - The woman who had been bleeding for 12 years who touched Jesus' hem and was healed. Heb 10:10, “we have been made holy through the sacrifice of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.” Rom 5.8, “But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us”31:56 - Leviticus 15.31-33. God designed the human body, he designed the reproductive system, both the male system as well as the female system. They are amazing and beautiful and not to be ashamed of. The same is true with sex; it is designed by God and is an awesome gift from the Lord. Gen 1 & 2 we see God create them MALE & FEMALE (just 2), and they are given the charge to “be fruitful and increase in number” (Gen 2.28). Gen 2.24-25, “a man leaves his father and mother and is united to his wife, and they become one flesh. Matt 19.5-6, Jesus restates this and adds in “Therefore what God has joined together, let no one separate.” Heb 13.4 - “Marriage should be honored by all, and the marriage bed kept pure, for God will judge the adulterer and all the sexually immoral.” More on Sexual Immorality read 1 Cor 6.9-20. 1 Cor 7.3-5 - actually instructs married couples to have regular intercourse. Seriously, read it. Sex is an amazing, beautiful thing that is a gift from God for us to experience in marriage.38:50 - Application. Lev 15.31, “You must keep the Israelites separate from things that make them unclean.”We need to avoid things that keep us unclean today as well. A modern application for this today is looking at how sin makes us “unclean” and hinders us. Hebrews 12.1-3. We today can approach the lord in our filthy rags, but we also ought to avoid intentionally messing around with things that will trip us up.Support Iron Sheep Ministries: https://Ironsheep.org/donateListen to the podcast: https://anchor.fm/ironsheepContact Dave & the ISM team: info@ironsheep.orgBe notified of each new teaching, join the email list: http://eepurl.com/g-2zAD
Leprosy is a picture (a metaphor for sin). We see in Leviticus 13-14 a description of leprosy (defiling skin diseases) that paints a picture of what sin is like and what has been done for us as a result of it.We see in Leviticus 13 that Sin Spreads (Lev 13.5-8), and that Sin Defiles & Isolates us (Lev 13.44-46). Sin desensatises us, it deadens our nerves (just like leprosy does). We see in Leviticus 14 the process that the sick person went through to be cleansed: First, the Priest went to the leper (Lev 14.1-3) - Jesus came to us (Luke 19.10, and Matt 18.12-14). Second, a sacrifice was offered (Lev 14.8-20) - Jesus is our sacrificial lamb (Heb 9.22, 10.1-25; John 1.29; 1 Cor 5.7; 1 John 4.9-10, and John 3.16). Three, the sick person had to do something; they had to act. In Leviticus, they were responsible for cleaning themselves (Lev 14.8-9). Today, we too have to do something, we have to act, and that simple act is accepting the sacrifice that was made in our place (Rom 10.9-10, 13).In looking at Leviticus 13 and 14, we see a picture of what sin does to us, and what God has done to free us from it!Outline:00:45 - Introduction to Leprosy (disease) as a picture of sin.02:23 - Sin is more than skin deep. Lev 13.3-4, 25, 30-32, 34. Jer 17.9 - “The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?”08:37 - Sin spreads Bible Verses: Lev 13.5-8, 22-23, 27-28, 32, 34-36, 51, 53, 55; 14.39, 44, 48; James 1.14-15; Mat 16.5-12; Gal 5.9, and Rom 1.18-32.15:53 - Sin DefilesBible Verses: Lev 13.44-46; Num 32.23, Isa 6,.5 and 64.6.20:17 - Sin isolatesBible Verse: Lev 13.44-46.22:58 - Sin deadens our nerves - causes us to lose sensitivity to right and wrong.

There is great symbolism in the Old Testament. In Leviticus 14.3-7 we see a cleansing ceremony to a person healed of leprosy (or a defiling skin disease). In that ceremony, there are two birds, a clay pot with fresh water as well as cedar wood, scarlet yarn and hyssop. One can quickly read over these elements and their potential symbolism, pointing to the gospel narrative. Dave breaks down each of these elements and their potential symbolism.Outline:03:37 - The Sacrificial Bird - symbolizing Jesus crucified04:12 - The Fresh Water - symbolizing living water, fulfilled in Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit. John 4.1-26, and John 7.37-3906:21 - The Clay Pot - we are earthen vessels. 2 Cor 4.7, Jer 18.1-6, and Isa 64.807:59 - The Cedar Wood - symbolizing the Cross08:05 - The Scarlet Yarn - symbolizing the Gospel narrative woven throughout the entire Bible09:09 - The Hyssop - found also at Passover and Calvary09:42 - The Released Bird - symbolizing Jesus' resurrection and ascensionSupport Iron Sheep Ministries: https://Ironsheep.org/donateListen to the podcast: https://anchor.fm/ironsheepContact Dave & the ISM team: info@ironsheep.orgBe notified of each new teaching, join the email list: http://eepurl.com/g-2zAD
In this Bible Study, we look at Leviticus chapter 14 as we continue our “clean and unclean” segment of Leviticus. In chapter 13, we saw the ways that a person would be labeled “unclean” - due to a defiling skin disease. In Chapter 14, we see how a person can be declared “clean” after having a defiling skin disease.Outline: 00:15 - Outline of Leviticus 13 & 14 and recap.03:00 - What did it mean to be considered “unclean?” Was an “unclean” person not loved by God or by the Israelite community?04:20 - Jesus heals people with Leprosy09:37 - Leviticus 14.1-6 - Cedarwood, scarlet yarn, hyssop - why these three??? all could be used for cleansing? Num 19.6 uses the same three things.11:36 - Leviticus 14.7-10 - Why the two birds? For you Bible scholars, this may remind you of something; Leviticus 16.7-10 - Scapegoat14:14 - Leviticus 14.8-9 - bathe twice, shave twice. They must still isolate outside their own tent for 7 days, perhaps this was just to ensure the defiling skin issues did not come back?15:47 - Leviticus 14.10-20 (reading of)17:58 - Leviticus 14.10-11 - What did the person to be cleansed need to bring?18:39 - Leviticus 14.14-17 - Blood (from the guilt offering) - lobe of right ear, right thumb, and right big toe. The same with the oil (on the right ear, thumb, and big toe). WHY?Exodus 29.20 and Leviticus 8.23 are similar in correlation to the consecration and ordination of the tabernacle priests. 20:28 - Offerings - We see the guilt offering, the sin offering, the burnt offering, the grain offering (as well as a wave offering). This restores the patient to full fellowship as a member of the covenant community.22:24 - Leviticus 14.21-32 - Provision for the poor. 25:11 - Leviticus 14.33-48 - mold in a house or building31:13 - Leviticus 14.49-53 - The cleansing process is the same for the house as it is for a person in verses 4-7. It is nearly identical, though there are some differences. 34:00 - Leviticus 14.54-57 - conclusions34:46 - Application - Thanks be to God that we are cleaned (washed) by the blood of Jesus Christ!Support Iron Sheep Ministries: https://Ironsheep.org/donateListen to the podcast: https://anchor.fm/ironsheepContact Dave & the ISM team: info@ironsheep.orgBe notified of each new teaching, join the email list: http://eepurl.com/g-2zAD
In this Bible study, we look at Leviticus chapter 13 and the process that the priest would go through to diagnose defiling skin diseases (or “Leprosy” as labeled in some Bible translations). We look at Leprosy (known today as Hansen's disease) and walk through each of the “defiling skin diseases” outlined in the chapter. We also talk about why a person with Leprosy had to call out “unclean-unclean” as they walked down the street.Outline:01:45 - CLEAN / UNCLEAN - do not confuse “unclean” with being judged by God, or with being “unloved” by the community. To be unclean meant you were not cleared to approach the Lord in the Tabernacle. You were not cleared for entry, AND if you were labeled “unclean” and you had contact with anyone who Was clean, they are now unclean as well and have to go through the cleansing rites to become clean (cleared to approach the Lord).04:41 -“Leprosy” or “Defiling Skin Diseases?” Why do the translations differ in what word they use for chapters 13 and 14? The Hebrew word for defiling skin disease, traditionally translated as 'leprosy,' was used for various diseases affecting the skin.05:55 - define the Word “Leprosy” Hebrew: TṢāraʿaṯh “tsaw-rah'-ath” צָרַעַתLeprosy is a real thing. It existed in Jesus' day (as it does today). Today it is known as Hansen's disease because the word “Leprosy” has such a negative connotation to it.New International Bible Dictionary p.273World Health Organization Article on Leprosy: https://www.who.int/news-room/fact-sheets/detail/leprosy14:25 - Leviticus 13.1-8 (Reading and discussion of)18:12 - Leviticus 13.9-17 (Reading and discussion of)21:12 - Leviticus 13.18-23 - Boils (Reading and discussion of). 22:11 - See also: Exodus 9.8-12 and Job 2.7-8.

We are continuing our way through the clean and unclean segment of Leviticus (chapters 11-15). In this Bible study we look at the purification rites associated with giving birth to a child. Dave talks again about what it means to be “clean” and “unclean.” Dave does spend a good deal of time talking about circumcision, as it is solidified in the law as a requirement of all Jewish boys on the 8th day. What does Paul mean when he speaks of circumcision of the heart?Outline:00:13 - Introduction Clean & unclean segment 11-1501:14 - Unclean is not bad, and clean is not necessarily “good” it is simply a label for a person to know whether they have properly prepared, set themselves apart to go to the tabernacle and participate in a worship service. It is neither bad nor good, but more so “clear” or “not clear” for worship. God made provision for the cleansing and restoration of anyone who became “unclean” or “defiled.” Remember, unclean is not necessarily “bad.” In chapter 15, we will talk about discharges, which have to do with both the male and the female reproductive system, which God designed and called “good.”05:23 - Read all of Leviticus 1206:47 - Blood is important as it relates to the sacrifices as well as to cleanliness. 07:43 - Leviticus 12.2 - A son or a daughterCeremonially unclean for 7 days. (8th day, circumcise the boy - we will discuss) - Then wait 33 days before going to the temple. A total wait of 40 days.07:43 - Why was there a period of time after a woman gives birth when she is called “unclean?”10:30 - Why is there a difference between a son and a daughter as it relates to how long the purification time should be?13:16 - Leviticus 12.3 - Circumcision Gen 17:10-14; 12.2-3; 21.4; Luke 2.21; Jer 4.4; Phil 3.4-9; Rom 2.25-29; Col 2.10-11; Eph 2.8-9Paul is saying that circumcision is an outward sign of being set apart for God. But even if you have that outward sign, yet inside are sinful, the outward sign is pointless. A circumcised body and a sinful heart are at odds with each other.Paul says that we ought to focus on the condition of the heart.You are the Lord's, do you acknowledge that with your heart and your lips? Don't worry about your outward signs, your “good deeds.” Worry first about your heart and your personal, intimate relationship with God.26:33 - Leviticus 12.6-8A burnt offering and a sin offering.CEB & the NABRE - have “purification offering” for Lev 5.Luke 2.22-24Support Iron Sheep Ministries: https://Ironsheep.org/donateListen to the podcast: https://anchor.fm/ironsheepContact Dave & the ISM team: info@ironsheep.orgBe notified of each new teaching, join the email list: http://eepurl.com/g-2zAD
We start a new segment of Leviticus, looking at what is “clean” and “unclean” for the Israelites. We must remember that “unclean” is not necessarily bad, it just means that it is not holy or fit for use in worship of God in the tabernacle. Being “clean” or “unclean” was a designation related to someone's ability to participate in the worship at the tabernacle. If you were “unclean,” you had to go through the cleansing process to become “clean” in order to enter the tabernacle courtyard. It was all about being set apart and prepared to approach the Lord. In this Bible study, we look at the first of 5 chapters on cleanliness, looking at what foods are clean and unclean. Outline:06:16 - Overview of Leviticus 11-15Leviticus 11 - food - what is clean and may be eaten, and what is unclean and not to be eatenLeviticus 12 - cleanliness and purification after childbirthLeviticus 13 - skin diseases, fungus & moldsLeviticus 14 - cleansing skin diseases, fungus & moldsLeviticus 15 - discharges causing uncleanness01:17 - Why are these chapters on cleanliness here? Why are they so odd at times? What was their purpose? Why did all this even exist in the first place - IT MAKES NO SENSE. Give me just a few minutes and I will give a quick explanationThe principal duties of the Israelite priesthood1. Distinguish between the Holy and the common2. Distinguish between the unclean and the clean3. Teach the decrees of the LordExo 19.6 God calls Israel to be a Holy nation, a kingdom of priestsGal 3.23-25, The law was our guardian until Christ came that we might be justified by faith. KJV - Schoolmaster. AMP - tutor and our disciplinarian. RSV - Custodian. TLB - teacher and guide.Application:This call to be set apart did not just exist for the Jews in Moses' day. It exists for us today. Jesus, in the opening of the Sermon on the Mount, he said, Mat 5.14-16 - “You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl.”13:44 - Leviticus 11.1-3What is a divided hoof?What is chewing the cud?16:09 - Leviticus 11.4-5Hyrax - A small rabbit-like creature (Coney, rock badger, or a sharphan).Psa 104.18Pro 30.2617:11 - Leviticus 11.6 - Do rabbits chew the cud?

In this Bible Study, we look at Leviticus 10 and Nadab and Abihu, Aaron's sons. Why did God kill Nadab and Abihu? What did they do that brought down God's swift judgment? We also look at the story of Korah in Numbers 16 as well as Annanis and Sapphira in Acts 5. Dave also briefly talks about Alcohol and what the Bible has to say about consuming it.Outline:01:31 - introduction, context of Leviticus 1003:08 - Reading Leviticus 10.1-2 05:10 - What did Nadab and Abihu do to deserve death?05:32 - Theory 1 - The wrong guys - they were not authorized to offer incense (that was the role of the High Priest).

In this Bible study of Leviticus chapter 9, we see the first tabernacle service. Up until this point, Moses has been conducting all the sacrifices, but now Aaron and his sons will take on the role of tabernacle priests, as outlined at the end of Exodus and fully explained in the first 7 chapters of Leviticus. At the end of the service, we see the Glory of the Lord appear to the people, and we see God consume their offerings with fire from heaven! We conclude this talk camping out on these two subjects, the Glory of the Lord and Fire being used as a sign from God.Outline00:10 - introduction - where we are at in Leviticus02:20 - Reading Leviticus 9.1-603:24 - This is a summary of what is going to happen in the chapter. Moses is directing Aaron. Up to this point, Moses had been doing the offerings; now, Aaron and his sons were finally ready to do the job outlined at the end of Exodus and at the opening of Leviticus. 04.12 - Reading Leviticus 9.7-1405.27 - Explanation05.46 - Reading Leviticus 9.15-2206:47 - Explanation - The offerings have now been made for the people of Israel. 08:14 - Application - we must deal with our own sinful practices in our lives before we can be the most useful to God in helping others. Matthew 7.3-5 Is a great example for us given by Jesus. This all has to do with the sanctification process; we are forever (in this life) a work in progress. 12:54 - Reading Leviticus 9.23-24.14:00 - Examples in the Bible of fire consuming an offering or a sacrifice.Jdg 6.11-22 - Gideon - speaking to an angel of the Lord. 1 Kgs 18.16-39 - Elijah on Mount Carmel 2 Chr 7.1-3 - David dedicates the temple,23:20 - The Glory of the LordGlory = כָּבוֹד (kāḇôḏ)Exo 16.10Exo 24.16-17Exo 40:33-35Lev 9.23-242 Chr 7.1-3Ezek 8.4; 9.3; 10.4, 18; 11.22-23Luke 2.8-9 John 1.141 Cor 6.19-20John 17.20-23Rev 21.22-23Support Iron Sheep Ministries: https://Ironsheep.org/donateListen to the podcast: https://anchor.fm/ironsheepContact Dave & the ISM team: info@ironsheep.orgBe notified of each new teaching, join the email list: http://eepurl.com/g-2zAD
Leviticus 8 Bible Study - The Establishment of the Priesthood - Part 1 - The Ordination. In this Bible Study we look at Leviticus chapter 8. Chapters 8-10 are all about the establishment of the priesthood, and today we look at the ordination process. God gave Moses very specific instructions in Exodus 28 and 29 and here we see those plans carried out.Outline:00:49 - Leviticus 1-7 Offerings Review The offerings outlined in Leviticus 1-7: the burnt offering, the grain offering, the fellowship (peace) offering, as well as the sin and guilt offerings. We spent a lot of time looking at the blood of an offering. Leviticus 17.11 - the life is in the blood. The blood makes atonement. Heb 10.1-4. Heb 10.1206:00 - Prayer06:27 - Leviticus 8 overview.- More on the priesthood, read Exodus 28-19 09:32 - Leviticus 8.1-410:55 - Leviticus 9.5-9For more on the tabernacle priests' outfits read Leviticus 28 and watch the bible study video: https://youtu.be/ESCe9UF-nRg12:35 What did the Israelite High Priests' outfit look like?Photo taken from Rose Guide to the Tabernacle:https://www.christianbook.com/rose-guide-to-the-tabernacle/benjamin-galan/9781596362765/pd/362765?event=BRSRCG|PSEN15:02 - What are the Urim and the Thummim in the Bible?Exo 28.30Num 27.211 Sam 14.37-4521:34 - Leviticus 8.10-13 (anointing oil of the tabernacle and everything in it and outside it).23:11 - Leviticus 8.14-17 - “long lobe of the liver”25:32 - Leviticus 8.18-2126.50 - Leviticus 8.22-2928:31 - Why does Moses put blood on the Right ear lobe, the right thumb, and the right big toe of Aaron (the high priest)? 32:40 - Leviticus 8.30-36 - Everything has now been anointed and set apart for the work of the Lord.35:25 - If Jesus is our high priest (Heb 4.14-16) why do we not see Him go through a similar ordination process? Why does he not need to make atonements or sacrifices?Heb 9.11-15 - gives us the answer.27:56 - Conclusions: In the Old Covenant, God's people had a priesthood, but under the New Covenant, we, the church, are called to be that priesthood.1 Peter 2.5, “you also, like living stones, are being built into a spiritual house to be a holy priesthood, offering spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.” We are still called to make sacrifices today, but they are spiritual in nature, and not through the blood of animals.1 Peter 2.9, “you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God's special possession, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light.”1 Cor 6.18-20, “Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore, honor God with your bodies.”Closing Question for you to think on, do you consider yourself a holy, anointed priest of the Lord, anointed, consecrated, Set Apart for the Lord? If not, why not?

In this bible study, we cover Matthew 5.1-12 looking at the Beatitudes. The Beatitudes are a list of 8 statements from Jesus, each with a promise. “Blessed” - happy, joyful, on the right path- is the person who follows each of Jesus' calls. This includes a call to be poor in spirit, to mourn our sinful state, to be meek, to thirst for righteousness, to show mercy, to be pure of heart, to be a peacemaker, and to rejoice in persecution.The Beatitudes are a progressive ladder, with each separate step being critical to understand before attempting the next step. Some of the steps are easier for some than others, and that's ok, but we need to take these one at a time, and do our best to follow Jesus' call. Keeping in mind that on our own, without the help of the Holy Spirit, we are not capable of any of them.

In this Bible Study we we look at the final of the offerings in the opening chapters of Leviticus, the Guilt or Restitution offering. This offering is unique to the others in that it requires restitution be made to the offended party and an additional penalty be paid for the sin (whatever it was). This has application for us today, as we ask the Lord if there are wrongs we have done in our past that we need to make right.Outline:02:03 - reading of Leviticus 5.14-6.705:20 - Lev 5.15 - “Guilt Offering” (NIV).

In this Bible study, we focus on Revelation 3.14-22. This is a message from Jesus to the church of Laodicea. Laodicea was one of seven churches in Asia Minor (modern-day western Turkey) to which Jesus had the Apostle John write a letter. The church in Laodicea thought they were rich and successful, when in God's eyes, they were weak and spiritually useless. Laodicea was judging itself on the world's standard, not God's.

Leviticus 05.1-13 Bible Study - Sin Offering (Part 2)In this Bible study, we look at the 2nd half of the Sin Offering as outlined in Leviticus 5.1-13. The Israelites were required to perform a “sin offering” if they failed to do something that was required, such as failing to give a testimony, dealing properly with ritual uncleanness, or fulfilling an oath. We also look at the “sin offering” as the “purification offering” asking why a woman who just gave birth would be required to give a “sin offering?” A key verse in this passage is Leviticus 5.5 in which the text tells us that confession is key to the process. OUTLINE:01:45 - What is Iron Sheep Ministries? 07:04 - Outline of the talk: 5.1-6 Failure to do something that was required: - v1 - Failure to give testimony, which could prevent justice from being carried out. - v2-3 - Failure to deal properly with ritual uncleanness, which could lead to the Lord's tabernacle being defiled.- v4 - Failure to fulfill an oath, which would result in the Lord's name being profaned. In any of the above. ONCE they realized their guilt there were two things they had to do.- v5 - Confess their sin- v6 - bring an offering to the Tabernacle so the priest could make atonement for them.5.7-13 - Three possible offerings, adjusted according to the economic situation of the person bringing the offering. EVERYONE has the opportunity to make a sacrifice, no matter how poor they were. 08:42 - Leviticus 5.1-1312:02 - Lev 5.1 - public charge to testify - it was considered a sin to see something and not say something. 14:25 - Lev 5.2-3 - “ceremonially unclean” - we see unclean as being related to public health or hygiene. A better way to think of a ceremony unclean vs clean is adequately prepared for worship.Rev 7.141 John 1.722:45 - purification offeringWORD STUDY: Ḥaṭṭā'āṯ חַטָּאָת (hea-taw-aw) - “sin, sin offering, purification from sins of ceremonial uncleanness.”Occurs 294x in KJV, 82x in Lev, 32x in Lev 4-5:13Lev 5.2-3Lev 12.1-8Luke 2.22-2430:29 - Lev 5.4 OathsMat 5.33-3732:50 - Lev 5.5 - confess - 35:55 - why is confession important? When you realize your guilt, the very first step, you must go through is to confess your sin before the Lord. He already knows what you did! But if you refuse to acknowledge your sin, then there is no room for the Holy Spirit to work in you. The Lord's discipline is a good thing.

The sin offering (also known as the purification offering) is covered in Leviticus chapter 4 as well as the first thirteen verses of chapter 5. In this study, we will look at the first portion, as outlined in Leviticus chapter 4. The sin offering was an offering required when an individual (or group) had sinned unintentionally. The offering atoned for the sin and cleansed them from unrighteousness. What is the application for this for us today? Do we have such an offering for our sin?Outline: 00:08 - Introduction to sin/purification offeringThis is a required offeringThese are also newly establishedThe Sin offering is atonement made for unintentional sin03:48 - Lev 4.1-2 - intro for all sin offerings04:45 - What is the definition of sin?

Since the 1940's, Lake Trout have been extinct in all of the Great Lakes except Lake Superior. Pressure from commercial fishing as well as the invasion of sea lamprey devastated this native species, and the population in Lake Superior also suffered. For three generations an international team of scientists has been working to restore healthy Lake Trout populations in all the Great Lakes. In this episode of the Lake Superior Podcast, Walt Lindala and Frida Waara talk with Shawn Sitar, Fisheries Research Biologist with the Michigan Department of Natural Resources to update the status of Lake Trout in Lake Superior.Key Takeaways:Shawn Sitar explains his deep connection to Lake Superior, describing it as his hometown and emphasizing its pristine, natural state.He outlines how Lake Superior stands out among the Great Lakes - not only as the largest by surface area but also as the deepest - making it a unique ecosystem.The episode details the historical collapse of lake trout populations due to overfishing and invasive species, and highlights the international recovery efforts led by the Great Lakes Fishery Commission.Shawn discusses the three-prong approach to lake trout recovery: suppression of sea lampreys, controlled fishing, and hatchery stocking.He also addresses the challenges posed by climate change and evolving research techniques, emphasizing the need for long-term monitoring and adaptive management.Notable Quotes:"I realized I look at Lake Superior as my hometown. I love that.""It is the largest lake on the earth in terms of surface area. So that's the statistics there. Lake Superior is also the deepest among the Great Lakes.""In fact, lake trout were extinct in all the Great Lakes except Lake Superior."“By the 1960s, if we look at Lake Michigan, Lake Huron, Lake Erie, and Lake Ontario, the absence of lake trout, the top boss in the system, created a lot of havoc. And during that time period in the late 50s and 60s and 70s, there was another invasive called the alewife, which is a small oily fish from the Atlantic Ocean that came up. And it just basically boomed in the Great Lakes.""During my career working on Lake Superior and the Great Lakes, I've already seen surface temperatures increase from when I started till now. There's a lot of variation around it. And I think there's already research ongoing to assess the impact."Resources:Michigan Department of Natural Resources Website: https://www.michigan.gov/dnrGreat Lakes Fishery Commission Website: http://www.glfc.orgNational Parks of Lake Superior Foundation Website: https://nplsf.orgDocumentary “Fish Thief”: https://www.thefishthief.com/ Connect With Us:Website: https://nplsf.org/podcastFacebook: https://facebook.com/NPLSFSponsors:Cafe Imports: Supporting environmental sustainability in coffee-growing regions since 1993.
