After twelve chapters of action, miracles, and conquest, our journey through the book of Joshua enters a long stretch of mind-numbingly boring descriptions of towns and boundaries. What in the world could the division of the land into tribal territories have to do with us today?In trying to answer that, I began to ask myself some questions: Why did God assign certain people to live in certain places? Was it simply to demonstrate His authority? Or could it be that He had bigger, Kingdom reasons for wanting them there?In my pondering, I came to this conclusion: When it came to occupying ground for the Kingdom, the Lord assigned His people the territory where they could uniquely make an impact.This idea of the Lord sovereignly placing people is carried over to the N.T. where we read that “God began by making one person, and from him came all the different people who live everywhere in the world. God decided exactly when and where they must live.” (Acts 17:26 NCV)I want to suggest that the Lord might well do the same with you and me.  Could it be that, of all the places you could be living, you are in the exact place God wants you to be to make a Kingdom impact? What would it be like if, as surely as the tribes of Israel possessed their land, you and your tribe—your family— would possess your land? Your city, your zip code, your neighborhood, your street? How might you make a Kingdom impact in your land?1.     Recognize that you have been given a land.God has put you there as His representative. You have been given a land in which you are to represent the Kingdom of God. And, for good or for bad, you do.  It's not a matter of if you will represent your King, but how you represent your King.  That leads to the next point.2.     Honor the Lord in your land.From the words we say to the attitudes we display to the actions we take, we are to glorify the One we represent.3.     Pray for your land. Pray for the peace, prosperity, and people of your neighborhood. Take a prayer walk and intercede for individual homes. If there's a nearby school, pray for it. Pray over the fire station.  Pray over the parks. Pray over governmental buildings.4.     Engage with other believers in your land.While you have been placed in a specific part of the land, you are likely not the only Christ-follower who has been placed there. God has given others that territory as well. Ask the Lord to show you who those people are, then look for ways to engage them in the mission.  5.     Seek to impact the unbelievers in your land.Jesus said, “You are the light of the world… let your light shine before others so they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.” (Mt. 5:14-15) Be the kind of people your neighbors are glad to live beside. Serve with kindness and sacrifice, and pray for opportunities to have spiritual conversations with those in your land. Text: Joshua 13-21Originally recorded on November 6, 2016, at Fellowship Missionary Church, Fort Wayne, IN

Alice Walker is an internationally celebrated author, poet and activist whose books included novels, collections of short stories, children's books, and volumes of essays and poetry. Her best known novel, The Color Purple, was adapted by Steven Spielberg into  a major motion picture. In 1992 she spoke at the John Adams Institute about her novel Possessing the Secret of Joy, about the devastating effects of female genital mutilation. The evening was mostly devoted to Ms. Walker's readings, followed by a Q&A with the audience that unfortunately did not survive the recording. But the sound of her voice, her reading and her work are still very powerful.This event took place on October 23, 1992 at the Aula of the UvA in Amsterdam.Visit our website for more info on events by the John Adams Institute or click here to become a member.Support the show

 We had the pleasure of seeing River and Rail live in our hometown awhile back, and got the bonus pleasure of being able to chat with them about their debut album, “Lovers, Enemies, Always Friends.” We also talked about how they got their name, how they became a duo, and their start that began in R&B.   Grace and Alex Fincher are Nashville-based Indie Folk/Americana duo, "River & Rail."  Possessing a voice equal parts haunting and agile, Grace brandishes a unique, captivating tone. Alex adds plaintive supporting vocals and textural acoustic guitar that weaves between the lines of Grace's poignant lyrics.  River & Rail has crafted a rich, yet close sound that leans into storytelling, dynamics, and improvised embellishment.    Be sure to check them out here:  Website: Riverandrailmusic.com  Bandcamp: River & Rail  Patreon: River & Rail  IG: Riverandrailmusic  TikTok:Riverandrail  YouTube: Riverandrailmusic  Facebook: River and Rail  And be sure to join their mailing list!

Ever feel like life just keeps knocking you down? No matter how hard you fight, no matter how much you pray, you just can't seem to win? Have you ever wondered why the battles feel so constant, or caught yourself thinking, ‘I'll never get past this struggle'? Maybe you've questioned if you'll ever feel strong or free again.   But what if defeat isn't your story at all? What if it's just the enemy's script—and God has already written a different one? Today, we're trading the lie of ‘I feel defeated' for the truth: ‘I am victorious in Christ.'   Join me in this episode of my podcast Trade a Lie for a Truth, as I open up about my personal journey as a cancer survivor and emphasize the importance of recognizing our giants against the scope of our great God. Ultimately, I talk about how God helped me overcome this giant of fear and ultimately, why He allows trials in the first place. Together, let's actively seize the abundant life promised in Christ and move forward in His victory.   Takeaways: Life can feel overwhelming, but as Christians, defeat isn't our story. We think thousands of thoughts daily, many are negative, but we can trade them for the truth. Every trial is a test of faith, set up for our victory. God's promises are fulfilled in Christ, and it's time to live in them. We cannot wait for problems to disappear to find happiness. Jesus offers the free, abundant life in Him today. Possession of God's promises requires action and faith.

Resource guarding is one of the most misunderstood dog behaviors. Many guardians see growling or guarding as dominance or defiance, but in reality, it's a deeply rooted survival instinct. In this episode, we explore what resource guarding really means, why dogs display it, and how you can respond in ways that build trust rather than conflict.You'll learn the difference between normal protective behaviors and true guarding issues, common myths that lead to frustration, and simple strategies to prevent and manage guarding in daily life. From trade games to safe spaces, we'll cover practical approaches that respect your dog's needs while keeping your home peaceful.We'll also dive into the emotional side for guardians—how to move past fear or frustration and reframe guarding as communication instead of aggression. By the end of this episode, you'll walk away with a new perspective: resource guarding isn't about power, it's about protection. And when you learn to listen, you can strengthen the bond with your dog.dogspeak101.comdogspeakgeek.thinific.comThe Herbal Dog Event

In order for us to be able to care for others, we must first care for ourselves by letting go of practices such as self-criticism and doubt. Ahimsa (non-harming) is not only about refraining from causing harm to others - it also applies to ourselves. By switching from having a reactive mind to a more reflective intellect, we can make choices that support our needs instead of our wants. Focusing on convenience over comfort fosters the idea of aparigraha (non-possessing) and helps us prioritize peace over attachment. In this season of Live Vedanta, we are sharing insights on Courageous Caregiving through Vibhishana Gita. These discourses are from our Parenting Culture community, a space for seekers striving to be better in their caregiving responsibilities through the practice of self-development. You can always catch up on the previous episode.For those on the journey of self-development, Chinmaya Mission Niagara provides a community forum to listen, reflect, and contemplate.

In 2015 a strange discovery shocked the world when an alleged three fingered humanoid mummy was unearthed somewhere near Nazca, Peru. Possessing strange eye sockets, an elongated skull and three fingers, it quickly mesmerized hopeful believers. However, as time passed, interest in the controversial mummy faded. But then in 2024, Mexican journalist and UFO enthusiast José Jaime Maussan, presented half a dozen more of these alleged “alien mummies” to Mexico's congress, and a firestorm of interest in the topic erupted again. The million dollar question most are asking concerning these specimens is: are they genuine hybrid entities or were they part of an elaborate hoax? In this episode, I sit down with Ed Casas -a researcher and self-proclaimed Xenoanthropologist who has dedicated his life to the science behind these tridactyl beings found in Nazca. Pulling from his years of exhaustive research studying these enigmas, Ed breaks down why he believes these strange mummies are in fact... real.

In 2017 a strange discovery shocked the world when an alleged humanoid mummy was unearthed in a cave near Nazca, Peru. Possessing strange eye sockets, an elongated skull and three fingers, it quickly mesmerized hopeful believers. But was it actually real? As time passed interest in the controversial mummy faded. But then in 2024, Mexican journalist and UFO enthusiast José Jaime Maussan, presented half a dozen more of these alleged “alien mummies” to Mexico's congress, and a firestorm of interest in the topic erupted again. In this episode I sit down with Will Brown - a former history teacher turned explorer, researcher, and now author of the book “Enigmatic North America: Legends, Oddities and Controversial history" to break down the truth regarding these entities. In this interview, Will shares about his expeditions to Peru to investigate these strange mummies where he attended the press conference, interviewed researchers and saw some of the mummies with his own eyes. Are these "alien mummies" elaborate hoaxes or real hybrid entities? Or, might they be something else altogether? Will breaks it all down.GET WILL'S BOOKJOIN ME ON A TOUR

The pineapple may have begun as a rare curiosity from the tropics, but by the 18th century, it had become a symbol of imperial power, elite refinement, and national rivalry. In this second and final part of their journey into the history of the world's most flamboyant fruit, John and Patrick explore the height of pineapple mania in Georgian Britain, where aristocrats competed to grow the perfect specimen in lavish “pineries,” often at extraordinary cost. Possessing a pineapple was no longer just a sign of wealth - it was a performance of dominance, control, and taste.But the fruit's story didn't end in the hothouses of Surrey. As tensions simmered between Britain and its American colonies, the pineapple -by now appearing in colonial door frames, tableware, and rebellion-fueled satire - played an unexpected supporting role in the growing transatlantic divide. By the 19th century, technological innovations transformed the fruit from rarefied luxury to household staple, while industrial canning and the rise of plantation production brought pineapples into the homes of an emerging American middle class.From the lush fields of Florida to the imperial fantasies projected onto Hawaii, the pineapple was reshaped, rebranded, and ultimately reborn as a golden icon of tropical abundance. But behind its sunny image lay a legacy of labor, land seizure, and corporate control. And just when it seemed the fresh pineapple had been lost to a syrupy tin, it made a glittering comeback with the launch of the Gold Pineapple, engineered for sweetness, shelf life, and spectacle.Join John and Patrick for the extraordinary conclusion of the pineapple's global odyssey - one of science, scandal, colonial ambition, and the enduring power of fruit to shape empires.----------In Sponsorship with Cornell University: Dyson Cornell SC Johnson College of Business-----------Join the History of Fresh Produce Club for ad-free listening, bonus episodes, book discounts and access to an exclusive chatroom community.Support us!Share this episode with your friendsGive a 5-star ratingWrite a review -----------Subscribe to our biweekly newsletter here for extra stories related to recent episodes, book recommendations, a sneak peek of upcoming episodes and more.-----------Step into history - literally!
