NDS Chronicles returns with another collection of listener-submitted paranormal testimonies involving astral projection, succubus encounters, shadow people, alien-style abductions, witchcraft, haunted houses, spiritual warfare, demonic manifestations, addiction, and finding Jesus Christ.David Lee Corbo, aka The Raven, and Matthew Hepner dig into three intense stories from listeners whose experiences blur the line between the paranormal, the occult, and the spiritual realm.First, Seth Kicklighter recounts his years experimenting with meditation, out-of-body experiences, lucid dreaming, and astral projection. One experience takes a disturbing turn when a mysterious woman appears to have a will of her own, leading the guys into a discussion about succubi, spiritual deception, altered states of consciousness, and whether opening yourself to the “astral realm” can invite something unexpected.Next, listener R-III describes working inside apartments where previous tenants had died, discovering upside-down crosses and evidence of occult activity, and then experiencing months of terrifying sleep paralysis and encounters with shadow figures. His dreams escalate into apparent alien-abduction scenarios before his commitment to Christ becomes a turning point. His testimony also covers addiction, mushrooms, family witchcraft, generational patterns, fatherhood, Bible study, and rebuilding his life around Jesus.The final testimony, from Dave's Not Here Man, goes deep into generational occult practices, an allegedly witchcraft-practicing grandmother, unexplained activity inside a haunted childhood home, black-eyed facial manifestations, spells, séances, addiction, military service in Iraq, and his gradual journey toward Christ. He also describes what he believes is a spiritual gift of discernment involving unusual visual distortions and frightening changes in people's faces.The episode ultimately asks what spiritual warfare looks like inside ordinary homes, how Christians should approach supernatural experiences, and why personal testimony can reach people who feel alienated from conventional church culture.What do you think these listeners experienced—psychological phenomena, spiritual warfare, something paranormal, or a combination?

The Trump administration has issued directives to align the U.S. Childhood Vaccination schedule with certain peer nations by reducing universal targets to 11 core diseases and proposing individual shots rather than combination vaccines. Despite federal executive orders and administrative actions seeking to reduce the number of routinely recommended childhood vaccines from 17 to 11 and split combination shots like the MMR vaccine, federal court rulings and the American Academy of Pediatrics mean that prior universal standards remain legally active and recommended. Kate Asher, the author of The Book of Heaven: A Story of Hope for the Outcasts, the Broken, and Those Who Lost Faith, joins me to discuss the issue and the fight.Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and nuclear-armed Pakistan have signed the Mecca Joint Defense Agreement, declaring that an armed attack against one member will be treated as an attack against all three. Turkey's foreign minister says the agreement is "technically the same" as NATO's Article 5 collective-defense provision. The pact brings together a NATO member, a nuclear power, and one of America's most important Middle Eastern partners. Its leaders insist the alliance is defensive and does not threaten the United States, Israel, Iran, or the Abraham Accords.But the unanswered questions are enormous.

This summer, we explore themes from popular films alongside Scripture, uncovering how God's truth speaks through the stories we love. From adventure and sacrifice to redemption and hope, each week reminds us that God is present in every part of our story—inviting us into something greater. This week, we look at a movie that became popular, first, on the theatrical stage - Les Miserables. Les Miz (as it is commonly refered) is first and foremast a parable. A story that is not true or historical, but invites the listener or watcher into it in such a way that the audience wishes it were true because it is relatable. It also leads the audience to take a step of action. Jesus does the same with his parables that he tells. Pastor Karla conveys to us how God reaches us at your worst so He can lift us into our best.

“VAN HEFLIN: CLASSIC CINEMA STAR OF THE MONTH” - 8/03/2026 (151) Some actors become legends because of their larger-than-life personalities. Others earn that status simply because they're so believable that you forget they're acting at all. VAN HEFLIN belonged firmly in the second category. An Academy Award winner and one of the most respected performers of Hollywood's Golden Age, Heflin built an extraordinary career playing ordinary people with uncommon depth, honesty, and humanity. Whether starring in "The Strange Love of Martha Ivers," "Act of Violence," "Shane," "3:10 to Yuma," or dozens of other classics, he brought an authenticity that made every performance memorable. Join us on From Beneath the Hollywood Sign as we explore the life and remarkable career of this often-overlooked Hollywood giant, examining the films, the man behind them, and why Van Heflin remains one of the finest—and most underrated—actors ever to grace the screen.

For centuries in the villages of southwestern France and northern Spain, there was a group of people who looked like everyone else, spoke the same language, prayed to the same God and were still treated as if they carried some invisible curse. These were the Cagots: forced to live in segregated hamlets, made to use separate church doors and fonts, banned from touching public water or marrying “normal” neighbors, and branded with symbols like a goose's foot, even though no one could agree on what was supposedly wrong with them or where they had come from in the first place.Over hundreds of years, myths piled up, were they lepers, heretics, Goths, Saracens, cursed builders?, but modern research suggests they weren't racially or physically different at all, just victims of a prejudice so deep that by the time the French Revolution finally broke their legal chains, many Cagot families chose to erase their own identity to survive, leaving behind one of Europe's strangest outcast histories: a hated “caste” with no clear origin story and almost no trace.

By Jonathan Beam - In ancient times, many people were afflicted with a wretched disease that not only affected their health, but nearly all aspected of their lives. A person with leprosy became a social outcast and had very little human contact and almost no warmth in their life.

Diuen que cada moment important est

In John 15:18–25, Jesus prepares His disciples for a reality we often resist—faithful obedience will not earn the world's approval but may instead bring its rejection. In this sermon, we see that the world's hatred is not a failure of our witness, but a reflection of our union with Christ, who was first rejected. Jesus exposes the deeper cause behind this opposition: a world that does not know God and refuses the truth clearly revealed in Him. Yet even this rejection is not random—it fulfills God's sovereign plan. Rather than being surprised or silenced, believers are called to stand firm, speak clearly, and embrace the privilege of being identified with Christ, even when it costs.

God cares for those who feel rejected or excluded. Just as God gathered the exiled Israelites and restored their homes, He sees our wounds, our loneliness, and our social struggles. Even when we feel abandoned, God works to bring us belonging, comfort, and healing. In Christ, we are adopted into His eternal family, fully accepted and loved. Highlights God Sees Our Pain: He notices every wound, rejection, and injustice we face. God Acts in His Timing: Healing, comfort, and restoration may come through people, circumstances, or His Spirit. He Restores and Rebuilds: Like the Israelites returning from Babylon, God can restore what feels lost or broken. Belonging in Christ: Through faith, we are adopted into God’s family, giving us eternal security and acceptance. Hope Amid Rejection: Even in a world of brokenness, God leads us to people and places where we can experience care, support, and community. This episode is sponsored by Trinity Debt Management.

We’ve probably all found ourselves on the outside of some social circle wishing for a way in. When I was in fifth grade, I somehow finagled a tentative connection with the in crowd but soon got pushed out. This was also the year my inability to care for my naturally curly hair earned me the nickname “fro” and I became the brunt of jokes made by some of my male classmates. Feeling humiliated and alone, I began spending my recesses inside. Have you been there? Such experiences prick at our needs for acceptance and belonging. This is why these types of wounds can cut so deeply. It hurts even more to fear we’ve been rejected by God Himself. This was likely how the ancient Israelites living during the Babylonian captivity felt. After centuries of rebellion, the Lord’s persistent pleas that they return to Him, His warnings finally became reality. God honored His people’s desire for autonomy, lifted His protective hand, and allowed their enemies to invade their land. Although He assured them that His love remained—unconditionally and eternally (Jer. 31:3; Isa. 43:1-4), they felt abandoned and forsaken. Rejected by the One their souls needed most and forced to live as foreigners in a pagan land. But God hadn’t forgotten them. Through it all, He remained their faithful and attentive defender and provider. He even blessed them in their new land and encouraged them to enjoy their new lives in Babylon. Then, when it came time for their prophesied year of release, He fulfilled His promise recorded in Deuteronomy 30:3-4, which reads: “Then the Lord your God will restore your fortunes and have compassion on you and gather you again from all the nations where he scattered you. Even if you have been banished to the most distant land under the heavens, from there the Lord your God will gather you and bring you back.” During the period of Ezra and Nehemiah, He brought those who wanted to return home and enabled them to rebuild their city and restore their Temple, the center of their worship and their social life. The place in which they experienced a profound sense of belonging. Intersecting Life & Faith: While most of us will never find ourselves physically exiled, we’ve likely felt that way socially—and will again. In those instances, may we draw comfort from today’s verse and what it reveals regarding our Father’s heart. He sees every wound or injustice we suffer, and the insecurity rejection often exacerbates. But He doesn’t just “witness” our pain; He does something about it—in His perfect timing. Perhaps He’ll use an unexpected greeting card, phone call or text from a friend or family member to remind you of your inherent value, or will nudge someone in your faith community to sit with you in your sorrow so that you feel less alone. Maybe He’ll encourage you through a devotion you read online, podcast episode you listen to, a song on the radio, or a truth-packed sermon from your pastor. Or maybe He’ll make His presence tangible as He encases you in His love. Regardless of how He addresses Your heartache, you can be sure of this: He excels at bringing His outcasts into environments that feel like home. If He can move a pagan Persian ruler named Cyrus to send his Jewish subjects back to Jerusalem—with abundant provisions and enable them to repair the city’s walls, the destroyed Temple, and homes, He can alleviate your pain and bring you figuratively home as well. He restored what likely felt irreparable—because nothing is impossible for Him. More than that, in Christ, we always belong. Through faith, our Father felt pleased to adopt us as His beloved children and place us, irrevocably, in His global family, forever bound by the blood of His Son. I understand this present reality doesn’t eradicate the pain we experience when others treat us poorly. But it does assure us that we’re never truly alone, nor are we destined for isolation. We’ll spend our eternity with Him and the rest of His followers, fully and forever accepted. As we wait for that glorious existence, we can trust Him to lead us to people who’ll accepted us as we are and help us heal from the wounds we experience in our sin-ravished, broken world.

Toni Laites made history last year as the first American to win Love Island, but her journey to the villa was anything but ordinary. Discovered in Las Vegas working as a cabana girl by the show's creative director, Toni was persuaded to fly 6,000 miles to Mallorca. The rest, as they say, is history. But you don't need to be a Love Island superfan to love this episode. Toni is funny, emotionally intelligent and disarmingly honest. She opens up about living with the chronic illness Ulcerative Colitis, her pattern of choosing the wrong men in the past, working through anxious attachment and the hard-won strength it takes to forgive yourself. This is a conversation about resilience, self-awareness and what it really means to back yourself - even when the odds (and the public vote) are against you. ✨ IN THIS EPISODE: 03:18 Vegas Sales to Villa Casting 05:36 Saying Yes to Love Island 07:21 Life Inside the Villa 08:33 Votes, Outcasts and Forgiveness 10:57 The Big Three Friendship 14:18 Health Scare and Ulcerative Colitis 28:10 Tourist In London 28:43 Toxic Dating Patterns 32:22 Pressure On Her Relationship 34:57 Fame And Social Media 37:34 Family And Attachment 44:28 Self Criticism And Hate 49:44 Plan For The Future

FOLLOW RICHARD Website: https://www.strangeplanet.ca YouTube: @strangeplanetradio Instagram: @richardsyrettstrangeplanet TikTok: @therealstrangeplanet EP. #1304 ‘I'm In Here': When the Body Failed—but the Mind Didn't: A Story of Autism, Faith, and Telepathy What happens when the body fails—but consciousness remains fully intact? Tonight on Richard Syrett's Strange Planet, we examine a story modern science is deeply uncomfortable confronting. Katie Asher's journey begins in trauma and survival, then leads to her son Houston—severely neurologically injured, non-speaking, yet unmistakably present. When he communicates the sentence “I'm in here,” it isn't a revelation of awakening—but of recognition. Through supported spelling, Houston demonstrates advanced language, abstract reasoning, and a coherent spiritual worldview he was never taught—describing heaven, angels, and Christ—while his mother remains skeptical. Researchers documented the data. Filmmakers told part of the story. But the spiritual framework was left out. Tonight, we explore what happens when consciousness refuses to fit inside a materialist box. GUEST: Katie Asher is a writer, speaker, and advocate for non-speaking individuals whose cognitive and inner lives are routinely misunderstood. She is the co-author of The Book of Heaven, written with her son Houston, a work that challenges assumptions about intelligence, communication, and the nature of consciousness itself. Known for her intellectual honesty and initial skepticism, Katie brings a grounded, maternal, and rigorously self-critical perspective to questions of neuroscience, spirituality, and faith. Her family's story has drawn the attention of researchers and documentary filmmakers precisely because it resists easy categorization—and refuses to diminish the dignity of those who communicate differently.
