Listen in on a vulnerable / collaborative conversation between Jess and Kate as they discuss how they keep showing up--even when things get hard. They share their own perspectives and journeys of faith and dissonance, and hope that you will find comradery and validation if you are feeling alone. Whether your journey includes consistent activity in the church or not, we hope you feel God's abiding love guiding you and sustaining you. We felt that we could find peace as we leaned on our evidences of God's love, and trust in our Heavenly Parents' timing and authority. Additionally we find that focusing on the present moment, as well as the ways God is changing us, re-centers our hearts on what we can do--and that is Let God Prevail. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/inherimage/support

The Nats beat the Marlins 5-4 in 10 innings for their first win over Miami this season.

INTROThis week we're talking about finding the fountain of youth, sending nudes into space and listening to black holes. Also, Richard Dawkins on what we should tell the aliens, and Douglas Murray chats with Sam Harris and Michael Shermer.1. Finding the Fountain Of YouthIt's hard to accept that you're ageing. Just look at Madonna's recent Instagram and TikTok escapades.While plastic surgery and smoking blunts may make her APPEAR younger, as we know, ageing comes from the inside- it is the accumulation of molecular and cellular damage over time.Most people just accept that ageing is a part of nature, but more and more scientists, in particular, our mate David Sinclair, are showing that ageing can, and SHOULD, be avoided.In a recent talk led by Brian Greene at the World Science Festival, David explains that ageing is like scratches on a CD. The song data is still there- it's just not able to be read due to damage. Buff out the scratches and the sound will play well just like before.Ok, maybe that's putting it a bit simply, so make sure you go and watch the video for yourself.Also, check out David's book Lifespan at the link in our bio, where you can also grab tickets to see the string theorist and founder of the World Science Festival, Professor Brian Greene, live in conversation!2. Space nudesTwo words: SPACE NUDES.You heard right, NASA plans to beam an image of two humans waving in their birthday suits into space, in the hope that this could attract the attention of extraterrestrials.Along with the Adam & Eve cartoon, there will be a drawing of the DNA double helix, and an image of an object falling, depicting Earth's gravity.The images will come with an invitation to respond, all written in binary code, which the scientists think might be a universal language understood by all intelligent life forms.The message will also include information about Earth's location, which has some people worried. What about if the aliens are hostile and use this info to damage Earth?To be fair, this isn't the first time we've sent images of nude humans into space- the Pioneer plaques sent in 1972 and 1973 also had some naked folk. Granted, it was the 70s, and pretty much everyone was naked all the time!I wanna know, if you had to explain Earth to aliens in just three images, what would they be? Let us know in the comments.3. Richard Dawkins newsCalling all Richard Dawkins fans: we've got two pieces of new content you can't miss.First up, Dawko recently opened the International Science Festival in Gothenburg, Sweden. He gave a fascinating speech called “What Shall We Tell the Aliens?”.Don't get it twisted, Dawko doesn't believe we are going to meet aliens, but he does make another bold claim: he says that if aliens DO exist, he believes they will also be a product of Darwinian selection. How wild is that!?Secondly, don't miss an excerpt from his latest book, Flights of Fancy, published in Quillette last week. In it he talks about why many animals shed their wings.For example, did you know that worker ants can sprout wings, but don't? And that ant and termite queens bite off their wings after mating?And what about flightless birds such as penguins, what's the point of having wings if you can't fly!?Evolution can explain why, but you'll have to read the article to find out.Don't forget we're running our Evolutionary Biology course again at Think Inc. Academy, sign up for the waitlist at the link in our bio.4. Douglas Murray newsDouglas Murray has been a very busy man! His latest book The War on The West: How to Prevail in the Age of Unreason was JUST published a few weeks ago.In his book, Douglas argues that the West is self-cannibalising! We are so critical of our own “sins”, but don't criticise the sins of other societies.This latest book follows on from The Madness of Crowds and The Strange Death of Europe, which we have a SIGNED copy of in our shop.Before you get your hands on a copy, you can listen to Douglas speak on the Michael Shermer Show. Michael describes Douglas as the Christopher Hitchens of our time!It's true that Douglas, just like Hitch, is a fiery social and political commentator who isn't afraid of diving head first into the “culture war” debate.Douglas also went on the Making Sense podcast with our mate Sam Harris- it's also worth a listen.5. Black hole soundsDon't listen to this if you get freaked out easily.This ghostly howl is what it sounds like when x-ray light bounces around inside a black hole.Despite the name, black holes actually emit some light, and it's all thanks to their diet.They gobble up matter around them, usually gas and dust from orbiting stars, and a bit like a sparkly fart, they emit x-ray light that makes a sound.Yeah- you know that thing about space being silent? That's a myth! Just because space is a vacuum, it doesn't mean there's no sound.Actually, galaxy clusters are full of gas that provides a medium for sound waves to travel along.These recent sound waves were picked up by NASA's Chandra X-Ray in the Perseus black hole. Scientists from MIT ran the data through a tool called the Reverberation Machine- which is also a great name for a psychedelic rock band!The machine spat out this creepy tune, which the scientists resynthesized to make it audible for the human ear. We can't wait to see what other remixes they release!Keen to learn more about black holes? Sign up to our Cosmology course with Professor Alan Duffy at the link in our bio!OUTROThat's all for this week- I hope you learned something cool! Make sure you sign up to our newsletter for specials on our upcoming shows and Think Inc. Academy courses- Just head to the link in our bio.Until next time, take care.

Jesus, "you nailed that one, Peter! And on this rock I will build my Church." There is a long-standing Roman Catholic interpretation of that as well as an established Protestant interpretation of that seminal verse. In light of the Paleo-Hebrew worldview is it possible that Jesus' assertion meant something still different? Let's think through this together. I also reflect on the recent SCOTUS leak concerning Roe v. Wade.

There's a war on the West, and it's distinctly Marxist, author Douglas Murray warns. It's taking America down a very dangerous path. Our story is being rewritten from one of heroism to one of sin, one that makes slavery our defining characteristic and abortion our highest virtue. But on this episode of "The Glenn Beck Podcast," Douglas tells Glenn how Americans can end this Marxist attempt to destroy America once and for all. Murray breaks down the realities we're facing, as he describes in his new book, “The War on the West: How to Prevail in the Age of Unreason.” And he unapologetically makes it clear that enough is enough: “Long term, there's no way we CAN'T win.” This Week's Sponsors: Built Bars are made with real chocolate, high in protein and low in calories and carbs, and taste exactly like a candy bar.

Rev. Sam Wirgau, pastor at Bethlehem Lutheran Church in Ossian, IN, joins host Rev. Timothy Appel to study Acts 5:1-21a. The attacks against the Christian Church come from without and within. Ananias and Sapphira conspire with each other and Satan to lie to the Holy Spirit in the matter of their gift. Such a sin against God is no small matter, and the punishment He brings against this husband and wife is swift, serving as a warning to all. Signs and wonders continued as the Lord gave testimony to the truth of His Word proclaimed by the apostles. The Sanhedrin witnessed this with jealousy and placed the apostles in the public prison. Yet the Lord sent His angel to release these apostles so that they could go right back to the temple and proclaim Jesus as the Life. “To the End of the Earth” is a mini-series on Sharper Iron that goes through the book of Acts. In his second volume, St. Luke records all the things that Jesus continued to do through the ministry of His Church. By the end of the book, the proclamation of the Lord's Word that began in Jerusalem grows all the way to Rome. By God's grace, even now, that same Word is proclaimed to us.

International best-selling author Douglas Murray returns to the #SWYSI sofa to discuss his critically acclaimed new book: "The War on the West: How to Prevail in the Age of Unreason", which the Daily Mail has hailed as "The most important book of the year" (https://www.amazon.co.uk/War-West-How...) In his book Douglas Murray asks: if the history of humankind is one of slavery, conquest, prejudice, genocide and exploitation, why are only Western nations taking the blame for it? "It's become perfectly acceptable to celebrate the contributions of non-Western cultures, but discussing their flaws and crimes is called hate speech. What's more it has become acceptable to discuss the flaws and crimes of Western culture, but celebrating their contributions is also called hate speech. Some of this is a much-needed reckoning; however, some is part of a larger international attack on reason, democracy, science, progress and the citizens of the West by dishonest scholars, hatemongers, hostile nations and human-rights abusers hoping to distract from their ongoing villainy. "In 'The War on the West', Douglas Murray shows the ways in which many well-meaning people have been lured into polarisation by lies, and shows how far the world's most crucial political debates have been hijacked across Europe and America. Propelled by an incisive deconstruction of inconsistent arguments and hypocritical activism, 'The War on the West' is an essential and urgent polemic that cements Murray's status as one of the world's foremost political writers."

Despite attracting headlines and hype, insurgents rarely win. Even when they claim territory and threaten governmental writ, they typically face a military backlash too powerful to withstand. States struggle with addressing the political roots of such movements, and their military efforts mostly just ‘mow the grass'; yet, for the insurgent, the grass is nonetheless mowed–and the armed project must start over. “In reviewing the overall insurgent experience in recent years, there are exceedingly few instances where they have toppled an established government and seized sustained power. Indeed, rather than being overthrown one after the other, most states survive the onslaught of insurgency, often by relying on their superior resources and military capabilities. Though the counterinsurgency manuals preach mobilisation and hearts and minds, it is typically through suppression that states contain their adversary, causing their movement to either fizzle our or to become a peripheral concern. Outright victory may elude both sides, but the stalemate nonetheless favours the state, which in the absence of a decisive outcome remains the constituted authority.” This is the insurgent's dilemma: the difficulty of asserting oneself, of violently challenging authority, and of establishing sustainable power. In the face of this dilemma, some insurgents are learning new ways to ply their trade. With subversion, spin and disinformation claiming centre stage, insurgency is being reinvented, to exploit the vulnerabilities of our times and gain new strategic salience for tomorrow. As the most promising approaches are refined and repurposed, what we think of as counterinsurgency will also need to change. In The Insurgent's Dilemma: A Struggle to Prevail (Oxford UP, 2022), Dr. David Ucko explores three particularly adaptive strategies and their implications for response. These emerging strategies target the state where it is weak and sap its power, sometimes without it noticing. There are options for response, but fresh thinking is urgently needed–about society, legitimacy and political violence itself. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose doctoral work focused on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

In The Insurgent's Dilemma: A Struggle to Prevail (Oxford UP, 2022), Dr. David Ucko explores three particularly adaptive strategies and their implications for response. These emerging strategies target the state where it is weak and sap its power, sometimes without it noticing. There are options for response, but fresh thinking is urgently needed–about society, legitimacy and political violence itself. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose doctoral work focused on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

Despite attracting headlines and hype, insurgents rarely win. Even when they claim territory and threaten governmental writ, they typically face a military backlash too powerful to withstand. States struggle with addressing the political roots of such movements, and their military efforts mostly just ‘mow the grass'; yet, for the insurgent, the grass is nonetheless mowed–and the armed project must start over. “In reviewing the overall insurgent experience in recent years, there are exceedingly few instances where they have toppled an established government and seized sustained power. Indeed, rather than being overthrown one after the other, most states survive the onslaught of insurgency, often by relying on their superior resources and military capabilities. Though the counterinsurgency manuals preach mobilisation and hearts and minds, it is typically through suppression that states contain their adversary, causing their movement to either fizzle our or to become a peripheral concern. Outright victory may elude both sides, but the stalemate nonetheless favours the state, which in the absence of a decisive outcome remains the constituted authority.” This is the insurgent's dilemma: the difficulty of asserting oneself, of violently challenging authority, and of establishing sustainable power. In the face of this dilemma, some insurgents are learning new ways to ply their trade.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy wants America to help impose a no-fly zone over Ukraine. The U.S. favors other avenues of support, providing weapons and equipment. Now there are signs the Russian advance is stalling. Could there be a diplomatic endgame in sight? Marie Yovanovitch is skeptical. The former U.S. ambassador to Ukraine tells NPR a no-fly zone should be kept on the table, citing the unpredictability and ruthlessness of Russian president Vladimir Putin. Yovanovitch has written a new memoir, Lessons From The Edge. More from her conversation with NPR's Mary Louise Kelly here. Former Naval Intelligence Officer Steven Horrell says there's an emerging possibility of a so-called 'frozen conflict' in Ukraine, with Russian forces failing to advance but also refusing to leave.
