When Faith Meets UFOs: A Christian Perspective on The Immaculate Constellation For many Christians, UFO sightings present an intriguing problem. Are they real? And if so, what are they? It hasn't helped that for decades, the U.S. government dismissed reports of unidentified flying objects, labeling witnesses as delusional or fabricating stories. Yet, in recent years, with the rise of recorded evidence—saucers, glowing orbs, mysterious lights, and unexplained visitations—the narrative has started to shift. Could the tide be turning because of what's been caught on camera? And what should we make of the recent whistleblower claims about a government program called The Immaculate Constellation? What is this program's purpose, and more importantly, who or what is controlling it—or hiding it from the world. On this episode of The Parker J. Cole show, join me as I chat with my guest co-host and contributor Zackary Russel, co-host of Fantastical Truth as we discuss the odd, the weird, the blessed, and the secret things surrounding this topic.

“To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven…” With these words, the writer of Ecclesiastes launches into his famous list of twenty-eight “times”, a poem that explores the breadth of humanity's relationship with life, death, and God. This collection explores these statements of the times of life through a speculative fiction lens, using science fiction and fantasy to do what these genres do best: ask “what if?” and “why?” And in keeping with the ancient writer's use of the phrase “a time to . . .”, each story explores these times of life with an imaginative manipulation of time.In this collection, you'll find:Time machines and magical portalsAlien beings and mythological creaturesAlternate histories and far-off worldsMoral conundrums and spiritual warfareFuturistic technology and fantastic phenomenonsFrom the current day to the far future to the distant past, from high fantasy to domestic drama to star-faring sci-fi, these stories, like the ancient writer's poem, explore the idea that there truly is . . .

The Shroud of Turin has been the subject of much discussion and controversy for years because of this one thing: this cloth is purported to be the burial cloth of Christ. When I sat down to chat with my guest, Myra Khan Adam, Executive Director of National Shroud of Turin Exhibit, I had no idea that my mind would be invigorated by the discussion in such a thorough way. Studies have ranged from carbon dating to 3D image analysis, each attempting to unravel the mystery of the cloth's origins and the figure it depicts.  Myra gives us well thought-out reasons why the Shroud of Turin is the Greatest Mystery. The question is this: is the image we see on this cloth the Holy Face of Jesus Christ? Listen in to the discussion today, Saturday, at 2 pm Eastern time.

As we study the Bible, we may believe we are far removed from the people described on those pages. After all, many played significant roles in helping Jesus spread the gospel. Most of us find it difficultif not impossibleto picture ourselves in that disciple-type role because we are sinful and dont always make the wisest decisions. In Characters of the Bible: Finding My Stories in Their Stories, author David Waddell shares his discovery of his similarity to characters in the Bible. He found a relationship with the woman in John 8:111. He saw himself in a crowd of Pharisees urging punishment of a woman who did something they had done or wanted to do. Waddell was the woman looking for love in all the wrong places. He was the woman at the mercy of Jesus who was forgiven of all her sins without defending herself. Waddell realized the connection he had with biblical characters because like him, and like us, they were sinful. And if were truthful with ourselves, we can be mean, deceitful, conniving, and abusing, just like many people described in the Bible. Yet God used them for His purposes, and He will use us if we let Him. I love chatting with David Waddell. He always makes me laugh. His humor and the ability to laugh at himself as well show us the humor the Lord has in many situations is always wonderful to reflect upon so join me in the conversation on Wednesday, December 6th at 7:00 pm Eastern time.

We received an overwhelmingly positive response to our series, 'Into the Twilight Zone,' featuring my co-host, podcaster Rod Smith Jr. from the Millennial Mustard Seed Podcast. Due to the overwhelming interest, I have invited him back for part two. As previously mentioned, I firmly believe that Christians should embrace the reality of the supernatural, including spiritual warfare and the hidden agendas intertwined with it. In today's episode, we delve into the possible connection between our dreams, nightmares, and artificial intelligence. We will explore how artificial intelligence may plays a role. It's a trippy episode and I hope you'll come with us for another ride on the rollercoaster into the odd, the strange, and the supernatural. Join us on this journey into the Twilight Zone on Monday, October 30th, at the special time of 6 pm Eastern time.

I believe that of all faith groups, Christians should be the ones to readily accept instances of the supernatural. We serve a supernatural Lord who warns of spiritual warfare and beings that work to continue causing enmity between us and the Lord. Furthermore, the supernatural realm exists, and there are events that occur that cannot be explained by natural or material means. Should we ignore it? Today, we delve into the Twilight Zone as I converse with my guest, podcast host Rod Smith Jr. from the Millennial Mustard Seed Podcast. We will discuss Near Death Encounters, déjà vu, aliens, and more. The reality is this: there are people out there who have experienced things they cannot explain. In some Christian circles, there is a complete rejection of these ideas, with some avoiding any discussion of them. What do you do when you have no one to talk to after having had an encounter with the supernatural? Furthermore, why does the Lord allow some people to experience these things? Perhaps there is a purpose behind it, and if so, what is it? Listen in as we journey into the Twilight Zone on Saturday, October 21st, at a special time of 6 pm Eastern time.

The words of the song says, "The longer I serve Him, the sweeter He grows, The more that I love Him, more love He bestows; Each day is like heaven, my heart overflows, The longer I serve Him, the sweeter He grows." For some though, instead of deepening their relationship with Christ, a coolness grows. Church attendance becomes routine. Halleujah drones out and becomes nothing more than words of a song. Bible reading is perfunctory. Prayer time is a check off the list of things done. Church work is simply that ... church work. The scandals that erupt in church are often juicy and depressing -- Pastor so and so did this, the choir director did that. But what about the scandals in us? It's not that you're living a life rifled with sinful living, it's just ... you're going through the motions. You're experiencing with a coldness, a dryness, which leads to apathy. Is it because we're focused on doing this thing FOR the Lord? Are we merely performing? If that's the case, then how can we free ourselves from performance and have a real, in-depth relationship? If you feel your walk with Christ is dry, but you're not sure, you can take a self-assessment at https://www.freshfaith247.com. Do you want to stop the stage performance and experience the sweetness of serving the Lord once more?

Has God ever spoken to you through everyday situations or unexpected events? He speaks to me all the time that way. When I stop to ponder on God's Word or have a few minutes while running through life, I realize God is showing me something important. Just as Jesus taught people deep spiritual truths using very simple stories, I have found He still teaches that way today. Let me share with you a few things I've learned just going through everyday life. I invite you to Steep In The Word with me! Along with her book, Sheila McIntyre and I have a frank and intimate conversation about life as a teacher in public school over the past twenty years and how we can pray for our students to excel in a climate rife with culture wars, the isolation effect of technology, and the evolving roles of teachers.

Writing the devotions in this book was inspired by observing the behaviors of goats while standing in a goat pen. Each devotion springboards off a picture of goats acting like they are, well, goats, but they made me think of myself and maybe some other people! The stories shared are true. The questions shared about faith are genuine. The assurances are real. Goats are inspirational. The "kids" are smart, playful, and always looking for new adventures. All ages are sometimes willful and behave in ways that might lead to disaster. Like humans. Raising goats grows your patience, love, and ability to care for others. Through this devotional, may you come to understand what it means to be, and how you are, a "King's Kid!"

Law of Attraction: A Gateway Drug to Spiritual Heroin by Jon Clash is a compelling book that shines a light on the dark side of the self-help industry. Clash draws from his personal experiences and research to expose the deceptive tactics used by gurus to exploit vulnerable individuals seeking success and happiness. He reveals how the Law of Attraction can lead to a dangerous addiction, where individuals become fixated on chasing feelings and spiritual highs, ultimately leading to a deep-seated dependency on the very gurus who sold it to them. The book is a powerful wake-up call for those who have been taken in by the deceptive practices of the Law of Attraction. Clash challenges readers to question everything they have been taught and to find a genuine path towards true success, peace, and spirituality rather than relying on empty promises. With its honest and no-holds-barred approach, Law of Attraction: A Gateway Drug to Spiritual Heroin is a must-read for anyone seeking to break free from the grip of self-help gurus and find their way toward a more fulfilling life.

The idea of Christian unity presents an attractive ideal. Yet it is more than an ideal. Those who have been joined together with Christ through the new covenant have also been joined together with one another. Such ideas can be difficult to accept considering the overall state of the church today. But God has a plan for these last days, and it involves the members of His unified body loving one another and working together to fulfill His purposes. Greater Glory not only provides a Biblical vision for Christian unity, it also presents practical insights to help us navigate this vital issue. Just some of the key topics include: - Understanding why unity matters - Recognizing how pride divides us - Navigating doctrinal differences - Resolving conflict - Dealing with false prophets - Tearing down walls to build trust Reading this book will encourage, challenge, equip, and motivate you to make a real difference. Our world is in a perilous state, and the time is now for a unified church to arise!

When I was recording this show with my guest today, he asked me the question: "What do you consider Christian nationalism?"  I gave an answer and in his typical way, he didn't necessarily respond to the question. He just wanted to see what I thought Christian nationalism was.  To that end, by the time we finished this recording, my definition was nothing compared to what he said. In this episode, we delve into the arguments against Christian nationalism, but not without nuance. My guest, apologist and podcast Cody Libolt, peels back the veil on what this is and how we as Christian should respond.  Listen in to this thoughtful conversation on Saturday, August 26th at 2 pm Eastern. You can listen by dialing at 646-668-8485.

Is Christianity racist? It's a question that rises more and more as ideas in the cultural war battles for dominance. Who best to answer this than a cultural apologist?

The last place one would expect to experience toxic leadership is in the pulpit. Three friends, Zaire, CeCe and Savannah, take you on their personal journey as they explore this concept of toxic leadership through the frame of the toxic triangle. Their discussion uses this theoretical lens to pull all the parts of this subject into context, allowing the reader to have a better understanding of toxic leadership. Their journey provides insights for how all impacted parties, both leaders and members, especially of churches, can move forward. DERAILED: TOXIC LEADERSHIP IN THE PULPIT equips the reader not only with understanding but also with possible action plans, for the leader or follower, to ensure that their church does not get derailed or, if already derailed, can get back on track.

Bestselling biblical historian, Jean-Pierre Isbouts, weaves the origin stories of Christianity and the Lord's Prayer into a reinvigorating and urgent rallying cry for unity in the modern church Modern Christianity is in the midst of a veritable schism along the fault lines of society's culture wars. Only if we understand the origins of this split can we find our way to unity. Though few may realize it today, Jesus's ministry unfolded in a crisis very similar to the one society is now battling. In fact, were it not for the truly catastrophic conditions in early 1st century Galilee, his reimagining of the three quintessential virtues of the Torah – social justice; compassion toward one another; and an abiding love of God – would have likely failed to attract a wide following. Brilliantly tracing Jesus's vision for the “Kingdom of God” from its origin up through modern times, Dr. Isbouts leads us to a possible antidote for the fiercely partisan moment in which we find ourselves: the Our Father. Then taking readers on a historically exhilarating tour of the Lord's Prayer, The Fractured Kingdom shows us why the only doctrine Christians agree on might be our last hope for forging a more equal, compassionate, and loving society. What results is an eminently readable and undeniably essential work that addresses some of the most pressing issues now confronting communities of faith around the world. Join in the conversation with myself and Dr. Isbouts as we travel through biblical times through archaelogical studies, hermaneutics, and more through his latest book on Wednesday, July 19th at 8 pm Eastern time. Listen in at 646-668-8485.

"Why do I need a book to tell me how to be a man?" I can't tell you how many times I've heard that phrase. The truth is, you don't. You own a version of manhood that either serves you well or has left you (or those you love) broken and defeated. Like an athlete, you've already developed your own way of doing things. But even pro athletes recognize the need for continual growth and development. Imagine an NBA player saying "I don't need anyone to tell me how to be a basketball player?" How well would that go over? Achieving success and personal growth is no different. What if you could have success not just in your profession, but also in your personal life?

Reiki, acupuncture, energy transfer. These terms refer to aspects of energy healing for illness, emotional stability, and mental acuity. Most of us have heard of these in some instance. There may be even scientific backing for these. But, as Christians, what do we really know about energy healing? Do we know enough or too little? Also, what are some spiritual things we should consider? On this episode of the Parker J. Cole Show, I'm chatting with my returning guest co-host and contributor, Marica Montenegro from Christian Answers for the New Age as we talk about the history, philosophies, and the pitfalls of certain types of alternative medicinal methods regarding energy healing.  From there, we compare them with biblical principles about healing and what to consider when evaluating the validity of these practices.

A child disappears . . . a foster mom faces an impossible choice . . . a baby's future hangs in the balance. When Debra Moerke and her husband decided to become foster parents, they never imagined how their lives would change. Debra became especially close to one little girl: four-year-old Hannah. She loved her and did everything she could to help Hannah learn to trust and teach her to feel safe. But when Hannah went back to her birth mother, Karen, it wasn't long before one of Debra's worst fears came true. Overwhelmed with horror and grief, Debra didn't think she could take anymore, but then she received a phone call from prison. Karen, facing a life sentence, was pregnant, and she had a shocking question to ask . . . Murder, Motherhood, and Miraculous Grace is an incredible true story of faith, family, and a journey toward seemingly impossible forgiveness. A story that tests the limits of the human heart, it's ultimately a life-affirming testament to how unconditional love and relentless obedience can transform even the darkest nights into mornings of hope.

How many times have you heard that Christians are no longer under the Law but under grace? Does this mean that Old Testament laws like "Thou shalt not kill" no longer apply to us today? How do we balance the moral code of the Old Testament with its fulfillment in the New Testament?

This book is designed both for personal study and as a guide for teachers and pastors with ample room for your own notes as you learn to use the Law as it was always meant to be used.

It's going on two years since Granny passed away and the Lord has carried me through this time. Yet, with the sharpness and sensitivity that comes from having loved well and grieved hard, several of my author friends have experienced their own journeys and paths with grief. This show is dedicated to them.  And to you. Yes, you. The 'outsider' griever who watches from the sidelines as someone you care about goes through loss. What do you say when there's nothing to say? Do you feel tongue tied, ill-equipped, or at a complete loss when you encounter someone who is grieving? All of us have experienced grief on some level, and we can equip ourselves to care for others who are grieving the impossible.

Church attendance is at an all-time low. Faith and trust in our leadership of churches is low.  The question then is this: Church? Why bother? Join me as I talk with pastor and church planter, David Lee Martin, all the way from the UK as we delve into this topic. We'll be taking a look at the historical, scriptural, and societal aspects of how the church has affected each element. Not only that, we'll discuss what is 'the church'? What's this all about church being about organized religion? Will the church ever go away and we'll be in a desert, dystopian world where the church doesn't exist?

It's been a while since I had my guest, Doug Woodward, also known by the moniker Doomsday Doug on my show. Today we are going to talk about some of my favorite topics -- Mars, UAPs (UFOs for the traditionalists out there) and Revising Reality -- how the James A Webb telescope is giving rise to re-interpreting our understanding of the cosmos.  What is it about our red celestial neighbor that fascinates us? Why did the government, after years of denying UFOs suddenly change course? What if gravity is not what holds the universe together? These and many other topics we discuss on today's show. This particular episode truncates a lot of the information Doug discussed on Dr. Ten Penny's podcast episode entitled, 'Heavenly Signs and the Gospel Truth'. Whereas Doug and I only scratch the surface, you can listen to the full four-hour interview at Dr Ten Penny's podcast at drtenpenny.com/gospeltruth. You won't be disappointed. Listen at 646-668-8485.

Sobriety has a wonderful way of bringing all things into the light if you're willing. Light! Such a simple and yet profound state of being. Detox finally opened the door for sustained sobriety for actor Jason Umidi. On January 10, 2012, he began his sober journey. Gone are the mornings of regret and the feelings of shame no longer haunt him. Instead, gratitude for a life that's been redeemed and restored permeates his entire being. The truth as he was experiencing it reminds him that he can't keep what he doesn't give away. This life of service is a beautiful reflection of the grace that Jason received. His sobriety requires him to live in the moment, his faith asks him to love as he has been loved and his spirit says, “here am I send me”. Wherever you're at in your personal journey may you find the Hope that is only found in relationship with your higher power or God. After being clean and sober for a couple of years Jason was looking to share his personal journey on Facebook in hopes that someone might be encouraged by his story. This developed into popular short blog posts about addiction, recovery, and hope, known as “ Today's One Minute Reads.” Jesus & Seltzer is Jason's curated collection of his One Minute Reads.

This week I talk about two romances that I found via Instagram. Sweet Fang by Nicole Whitfield was on @sharonda_isadora's reel and The Duke's Defiant Cinderella by Parker J. Cole was on @talk_about_swoon's post about Black historical romance. I'm so glad that I follow such awesome people who mention new to me books! Let me know what you're reading on Instagram @essiemv or Twitter @molessie

You may have started off this year with a heartfelt desire to read the word of God all the way through. Day 1, you set aside the time, picked up your word, and started reading Psalm 117 and considered yourself accomplished. Day 3, you'd already put it aside and gone about your life. There are many reasons why people, both believers and unbelievers, don't read the word of God. For believers especially, it shouldn't be the case, and yet, it is. What are some of the reasons why people don't read it? What about the parts we don't understand? We want to be obedient, but our attention span is short. What can we do? Enter Myra Kahn Adams, author of the popular, ongoing, weekly Sunday Bible study on Townhall.com. These bible studies reflect her unique faith journey — Jewish by birth encompassing Messianic Judaism, mainline Protestantism, Evangelical Christianity, and Catholicism has been compiled into a book requested by Townhall readers. Listen in as we chat about her faith journey, why aren't people reading the Bible, getting into the word of God, and so much more by dialing 646-668-8485 on Saturday, January 28th at 2 pm Eastern time.

On the eleventh day of Write Stuff Christmas, Parker gave to me... an eclectic view of end times... lots of family drama...poetry from a survivor...the man who would not die...a sweet romantic story...South Dakota courage...God, me and aliens...theological thoughts about speculative fiction ... angelic wars ... curses and vows ... and a hand of steel! The Book of Revelation! Some treat it like a futuristic comic book. Some consider it is too complex. Some worry about getting the interpretation wrong—or worse, get it right! Some read it trying to “break the code,” as if God had John write the book in a secret code expecting Christians to try & crack it. And then there are those who are terrified of the book and the images, so they just avoid it altogether. For them, ignorance is bliss. . Authors & podcasters Christine Paxson and Rose Spiller brings a theologically sound, scriptural approach to questions such as: Where have we seen this before? Is this passage meant to be taken literally, symbolically, or metaphorically? Has this passage already been interpreted somewhere else in Scripture? Does our conclusion of the passage line up with everything else in the Bible? Is this passage telling us something new, or is it a picture of something already seen in the Old Testament or in other parts of the New Testament? Using the same careful and systematic exegesis that should be used for interpreting all books of the Bible, The Final Exodus brings clarity & understanding to a book that is often mis-interpreted in chaotic and irresponsible ways. Join me for a fresh new look of the Book of Revelation with my guest co-hosts on Saturday, December 24th at a special time of 7pm Eastern. Listen in at 646-668-8485.

On the fifth day of Write Stuff Christmas, Parker gave to me... God, me and aliens! ...theological thoughts about speculative fiction ... angelic wars ... curses and vows ... and a hand of steel! Jordan Peele's 'Nope' postulated that the government changed the acronym from UFO (Unidentified Flying Objects) to UAP (Unidentified Aerial Phenomena) to make the public forget about them. I don't think it worked if that was the aim. If anything, more fervor rose concerning UAPs. Hearings, videos, movies, and more came onto the scene. What should we think about these things? Are they extraterrestrial? Demonic influences? Somewhere in between? If extraterrestrial life is confirmed, would it destroy our faith? So much to unpack in this episode as I chat with my returning guest co-host and contributor, Major Travis Perry on Saturday, December17th at 2 pm Eastern time.

How would you respond if you were diagnosed with terminal cancer? Would your heart be broken if your child suddenly had to fight a life-threatening illness? What would you do if you were told your heart may give out at any moment? So many people are suffering from devastating situations that affect them physically, mentally, spiritually, and emotionally. Doctors are not guaranteed to have the solutions they so desperately need. But God is the ultimate physician, and He has proven His ability to heal by performing miracles since the beginning of time. In Miraculous Testimonies, you will read about present-day miracles that God has performed. You will also learn how to receive hope in situations that may seem hopeless. The inspiring accounts help you to understand how much God loves you, which will compel you to love Him in return, now more than ever. Miraculous Testimonies will encourage you and help instill the confidence you need to face any situation that may come your way. Listen in to my conversation with RaShonda D. Jamerson as we discuss the reality that God STILL performs miracles today, Saturday, November 12th at 2 pm. Eastern time. You can listen in at 646-668-8485.

More than a devotional: A time of refreshing! Everybody wants more joy and contentment in their lives. The Lord is very eager to give these to you, in abundance! If you are hungry for lasting joy, if you are eager to feel the overwhelming goodness of the Lord, if you want to experience first-hand God's deep and abiding love-then this book is right for you. The writers of the Psalms, including David and Moses, were a lot like you. They went through very tough times in their lives, and they agonized over them. You will see how they overcame difficulties and discover that you too will live a life of victory and purpose by relying on God's amazing goodness. Verses taken from each of the Psalms will lead you into a realistic and hopeful look at what God desires for you. You'll learn specific steps to gain freedom from habits that drag you down and how to deal with heartaches in your life. Your excitement and trust in the Lord will increase, producing joy that renews.

When I come home from an errand, my dog always barks, howls, and wags her tail at the window. She'll follow me as I walk to the front door, her eyes glued to my every step. When I open the door, she jumps and almost knocks me down every time because I've been away. It doesn't matter if I've been gone for five minutes or five hours, whenever I get back, she's happy to see me. After all, I was the thing she was waiting for. Are you in a season where you are waiting on the Lord to move, and He seems to have gone away or forgotten you? No one likes to wait in line, much less wait in life. How do we get past the frustration of waiting on the Lord to move in our lives? Is waiting stagnation or preparation for something more? Is there a purpose to it and how can we find out what that purpose is? Perhaps we should take a page from our dear pets' book -- they don't give up on watching for you. They wait for your return because they have faith that you will.  Join me for a frank and candid discussion about  waiting for the Lord to move in your life -- but not only that, what can you do while you're waiting as I chat with my returning guest co-host and contributor David Alderman on Saturday, October 22nd at 2 pm Eastern time.

Have you been told that science and religion are incompatible? Do you think you have to give one up to be consistent? You don't. In this book, MIT-trained physicist Thomas Sheahen explains how you can: trust in God more readily, by realizing that God is not limited by space and time expand your human thinking and step up to a higher plane of understanding realize that religion and science are complementary paths to knowledge–not opposed understand that God thought up the laws of nature and uses them in creation. "I think your book will be very valuable for helping people see how science points to faith and to recognize the false dichotomies between faith and science imposed on many minds within the popular culture by those who dislike religion or champion scientism. I also think that this book, particularly the multi-dimensional parts of the last chapter, will help people recognize the possibility of God free from the constraints of time, and a Heaven that may transcend some of the constraints of time. There are many other wonderful insights that will bring people closer to God and the unity between faith and reason." - Fr. Robert J. Spitzer, SJ, Host, “Fr. Spitzer's Universe”.

Broken and Redeemed is the story of one man's journey, beginning with John Jarman's troubled childhood and challenges as an adult, and resolving as he finds redemption in the grace of God.  John Jarman openly writes his challenges, failures, losses, and blessings on the pages of Broken and Redeemed. While exploring himself through counseling and mentorship, John was led to completely surrender his life to Jesus, finding strength in faith and power through the presence of the Holy Spirit in his life. He shares with readers what helped him reach this critical juncture and transformation in his life, along with relevant self-reflection and discussion questions for group or personal use.  It is John Jarman's desire that Broken and Redeemed guides readers through a deeper examination of their faith—one that exposes how accepting Christ is easy but walking in true obedience will place them in situations they never thought they would encounter. John knows that listening to God's voice and following it will lead willing believers on the path He wants to take them; when they get on board with Him, that is when they truly begin to live!

Why did my loved one have to die? Why did the relationship I worked so hard at, fail? Why do I have chronic illness or pain? Why did I lose my job? For that matter, if God is real, is present and sovereign, why does God allow suffering? Why does ANYONE have to deal with pain and heartache?  It's a question many have asked and continue to ask.  Trials and afflictions are not uncommon aspects of life in a broken world. But what is uncommon is to witness people go through those difficulties with their hearts at rest. What is uncommon is seeing people trust God instead of living crippled by fear, worry, and distress. Today on the Parker J. Cole show, I chat with Pastor Erik Reed as he shares the lessons he learned through raising, and eventually burying, his son who battled medical issues throughout his life in his book, Uncommon Trust: Learning to Trust God when Life Doesn't Make Sense.  Listen in on Saturday, October 1st at 2 pm Eastern time. You can listen by calling 646-668-8485.

Parallel dimensions. Multiple universes. Worlds without end. Today on the Parker J. Cole show, we'll be chatting about an article I found called "Worlds Without End: Marvel comics, quantum physics, and the secrets of the cosmos by Spencer A. Klavan" The article was fascinating and highly effective in mixing pop culture, quantum physics, and spiritual beliefs all in one place. There is something rather alluring about the multiverse. To see how various decisions can affect the outcome not just of the individual, but the world, maybe even the universe at large. Like Schrödinger's cat, both alive and dead. If the cat is alive in one universe, but dead in another, what will happen to the events of that timeline? Trippy stuff. Yet, evidence of multiverse has not been observed. If the multiverse exists, where lies its boundaries? What are the spiritual implications? If it can't be observed, and there are scientists postulating the possibility of its existence, does that make them scientists ... or philosophical clerics? Does the Lord work His will through the vehicle of the multiverse? Yes, this article truly does have all the flavor of a delicious brain gum and who better to chew the gum with me than my returning guest co-host, and contributor, Travis Perry?

Freedom is our topic this week. What are the pain points that stop you from having freedom in your relationship with Jesus? Stress, fatigue, hurry, loneliness, lack of purpose, health issues, private sins, burnout and weak faith hinder our pathway to freedom. As believers, it's not supposed to be that way, but it often is. These things affect and enslave us, preventing us from experiencing freedom in Christ. But there's a solution. Jon Fugler fields the questions from best-selling Christian author and podcaster Parker J. Cole, as he was a guest on her show. You'll find out how to overcome the obstacles to living in freedom in Christ. Looking for the path to freedom? The core of the FRESH FAITH 24/7 Membership is the Freedom Path Training, a dynamic video series hosted by Jon. To dive into it, start your 30-day free trial in FRESH FAITH 24/7. P.S. A note from Jon: Watch out what you pray for. You might get it, but not the way you think. If you receive my Fresh Bread devotional emails, you might remember that I asked you for prayer. Here's what I wrote: Lately, life has been a blur. I've been busy Too busy. So pray for me to get back into that rhythm of knowing Jesus. It's the best place to be. Thanks so much! Well, little did I know God would give me a time out. When I sent that email, I was coming down with Covid. And, if you've been following my story, I was stranded on an island. Talk about slowing down. I was quarantined to my hotel room with God, and we had some good conversations. I'll tell you, I did slow down and I'm glad I did. So here I am, back home. I hope I've learned a lesson I will continue to apply. I know I need to slow down my pace and change my rhythm.
