From clinging to a tree while evading capture, his face blackened with soot, to triumphantly sailing home to reclaim his crown — the story of Charles II is one of survival, spectacle, and transformation. Professor Suzannah Lipscomb guides us through the Restoration, tracing life in England from the shadow of civil war to the glittering courts of Restoration London, and discovers how intrigue, scandal, plague, and fire gave rise to an age of theatre, science, and unfettered pleasure. MORE:Nell Gwyn: Actress and Royal MistressListen on AppleListen on SpotifyIsaac Newton: The Man at the Centre of GravityListen on AppleListen on SpotifyPresented by Professor Suzannah Lipscomb.

In this episode of Finding Freedom, host John Odermatt examines the rise of GLP-1 drugs like Ozempic and Wegovy, exploring how they work by overriding the body's natural hunger signaling through synthetic peptides inspired by Gila monster venom. While acknowledging these medications have legitimate applications for severe obesity and diabetes, John raises concerns about FDA-listed side effects including muscle loss, stomach paralysis, and thyroid tumor warnings, especially as Trump's new RX.gov platform makes these drugs more affordable and accessible. Drawing from his personal experience losing 50 pounds and maintaining the weight loss, John argues that synthetic GLP-1s don't address root metabolic dysfunction caused by poor diet, sedentary lifestyle, and chronic inflammation. He advocates for natural alternatives like berberine, chromium polynicotinate, and polydextrose fiber that support the body's own GLP-1 production rather than overriding it. John emphasizes the importance of building sustainable habits through diet, exercise, and supplementation that restore metabolic function instead of creating pharmaceutical dependency. The episode concludes with a call to prioritize long-term health over quick fixes, warning that rapid weight loss without muscle maintenance could lead to premature aging and sarcopenia.

“If we believe the world is ending in destruction, we won't invest in it. But Jesus didn't come to help us escape the earth. He came to restore it. - Eric JohnsonIn this deeply thoughtful episode of Live Your Best Life, Liz Wright is joined by pastor and cultural thinker Eric Johnson for a conversation that reframes the gospel through the lens of restoration rather than escape. Drawing from Scripture, church history, and lived experience, Eric unpacks why Jesus came not simply to save souls, but to heal, redeem, and restore all things.Together, Liz and Eric explore how worldview and eschatology shape the way we live, disciple, and engage culture today. From the Incarnation to the dismantling of the sacred/secular divide, this conversation challenges reductionist gospel narratives and invites listeners into a fuller biblical story: creation, fall, redemption, and restoration.Eric shares how the revelation of God as Father radically transformed the way humanity understands identity, value, and purpose. Rather than an isolated faith focused on escape, listeners are invited into a communal, hope-filled partnership with God that brings renewal to the world around us.If you've sensed that the gospel is bigger than what you were taught, or felt a stirring to participate more fully in God's restorative work on earth, this episode will bring clarity, courage, and renewed vision. This is a conversation that grounds faith, expands hope, and calls the Church into maturity.Learn More about RestSpace at patreon.com/restspace

In this episode of Don't Miss This, Dave Butler and Grace Freeman jump into Abraham's story in Abraham 1 and Genesis 12–17 and start building a picture of God as a God of promises. The stars become the symbol for this week, a reminder that the Lord's goodness is multiplying, personal, and still true every time you look up at the night sky. They begin with Abraham's rescue on the altar and the tender way Jehovah introduces Himself: “My name is Jehovah.” From there, the lesson becomes an introduction to who God is, what He's like, and what He promises to do for His children. You'll see a God who hears, comes down to deliver, takes you by the hand, and leads you forward even when the future feels uncertain. As the class moves into Genesis, they walk through the promises of the Abrahamic covenant, not just as ancient history, but as living promises for ordinary, messy, faithful people. God promises blessing, protection, purpose, and multiplication, and He invites Abraham to become part of the work of blessing all the families of the earth, including a powerful rescue moment where Abraham pursues Lot like a type and shadow of the Savior. The episode ends in Genesis 15 with one of the most hope filled covenant scenes in scripture. Abraham asks “How will I know?” and God answers by making a covenant of grace, walking through the pieces Himself as if to say, I will keep My promises, and I will cover yours too. When you need the reminder, look to the stars and remember the kind of God who guarantees hope.

To fully understand what Jesus says about fulfilling the Law and the Prophets at the beginning of the Sermon on the Mount, we first have to understand Isaiah's prophecy of the ancient ruins restored.

Send us a textVideo PodcastBefore the Book of Mormon  went to press, John Whitmar copied down the "doctrine of Christ" contained in it.  It was this doctrine that was taught at the very beginning.   However, after the Book of Mormon  was printed it was all but put away.   There are no sermons, no records of teachings, classes, expounding on the doctrine and the content contained in the Book of Mormon available in early church history.   It is seldom mentioned.  Instead a very different church emerged under the leadership of Joseph Smith  who conveniently called himself as a prophet through revelation.   (which came from him).   The topics that allured early saints to the movement were an incorrect concept of Zion, a living prophet. a tale of a city right around the corner with the imminent return of Jesus christ, an authority restored to the earth in the form of priesthood who had keys to mysteries and secret things from heaven not available to the common members.  A new church took shape with doctrines and teachings far removed from the simple gospel contained in the Book of Mormon The gentiles continue to stumble in favor of the teachings of a man - Joseph Smith  -  instead of the gospel contained in the Book of Mormon  that had just become available- preserved for thousands of years.   This continues to this day.  Which begs the Question.....will the Gentiles ever really embrace the Book of Mormon gospel of Jesus Christ?   Restored Gospel - Scripture Search and Study Resources Contact us:restoredgospelpodcast@gmail.comMusic by Michael Barrett

This is part four of the Restoration Theology class. Last time we covered the importance of using the Bible to build our beliefs. But what is the Bible? Well, it wasn’t written in American English or in the West or in recent history. The Bible is a library of books written in Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek. Still, that doesn’t quite answer the question of what the Bible is. Let’s just focus on the New Testament (NT) for a moment. The NT contains twenty-seven books written in Greek. But that still doesn’t tell you the whole picture. In fact, when you pick up a Greek New Testament (GNT), you’re looking at a scholarly reconstruction of what textual specialists think the earliest recoverable form of each word of the original New Testament is. This reconstruction is based on thousands of little decisions of textual critics who have at their disposal thousands of handwritten GNT manuscripts. It’s a little complicated, but you need to know what’s going on. Eventually in this class we’re going to get around to building and evaluating doctrines based on the Bible. Sometimes manuscript variations have a great bearing on doctrine. So, you need to know this stuff. What I’ve done in this episode is put together a narrative, marching through history to see not only what the most important kinds of manuscripts are, but also their exciting stories of discovery. I hope you will enjoy learning about this important field.   Listen on Spotify   Listen on Apple Podcasts —— Links —— Check out the other episodes of the Restoration Theology class Support Restitutio by donating here Join our Facebook group, follow on X @RestitutioSF or Instagram @Sean.P.Finnegan Leave a 90 second voice message via SpeakPipe with questions or comments and we may play it out on the air Who is Sean Finnegan?  Read his bio here Get Finnegan’s book, Kingdom Journey to learn about God’s kingdom coming on earth as well as the story of how Christianity lost this pearl of great price.

We often think of God as an immovable, distant force. But when Enoch looked into heaven, he didn't see a stoic deity—he saw a God in tears. Why would the Creator of "worlds without number" weep for us? The answer reveals the true heart of Zion. Summary: In this deep dive into Moses 7, we witness the culmination of Enoch's ministry. We move from the "high mountain" of personal revelation to the "City of Holiness" that eventually ascended to God. Building the City of Zion: We analyze the three pillars of Zion: being of "one heart and one mind," dwelling in "righteousness," and ensuring there are "no poor among them". The Weeping God: We explore the stunning dialogue where Enoch asks God, "How is it that thou canst weep?". We learn that God's sorrow stems from the agency of His children who "hate their own blood" and refuse His love. The Perspective of Enoch: Like Enoch, we are invited to look beyond our own time. We discuss his vision of the Crucifixion, the Restoration, and the eventual return of Zion where "heaven and earth shall meet". Divine Empathy: We discuss the "Mother Eve" connection and the "Mother Earth" who groans for her children, showing that all of creation yearns for the righteousness of Zion. Call-to-Action: Zion is not just a place; it's a way of being. What is one thing you can do this week to move toward having "one heart" with those around you? Share your thoughts in the comments!

Furniture flipping looks dreamy from the outside: paint, pretty pieces, a tidy before-and-after, but Jen Talley pulls back the curtain on what actually makes it sustainable. This conversation sits in the quiet middle between passion and burnout: learning when to say yes, when to say no, and why boundaries are just as creative as brushstrokes. Jen shares how her business evolved from late-night hobby energy to an intentional, values-led rhythm; choosing better pieces, protecting her time, letting simplicity sell, and honoring the very human reasons this work matters. It's grounded, honest, and deeply reassuring for anyone trying to turn “I love this” into “this actually works.”Jen Talley is a furniture artist known for her timeless, perfectly imperfect approach and a business built on intention over hustle. Her work blends classic design, thoughtful boundaries, and a deep belief that furniture, and creativity, can hold real meaning.Connect with Jen:IG FacebookYouTubeCreative Finds:Melange Paints - Jen's discount code mentioned: JEN10Golden Brush Awards 2025 - Public voting opening February 13In this episode, we discuss:When no becomes the most important business skill you can learnHow intention, boundaries, and simplicity create longevityWhy furniture doesn't need more – it needs better (and simpler)The human stories behind the pieces we make and sellWelcome to Brush & Banter—the podcast where creativity meets real-life hustle.

Evolutionary ecologist and novelist Steven Peck brings scientific reasoning, theological imagination, and Restoration scripture into conversation as he examines one of the most striking scenes in all scripture—God weeping in Moses 7. Peck challenges traditional readings that frame God as the direct cause of suffering and instead portrays a compassionate Deity who mourns with creation and calls His children to alleviate pain alongside Him. Thoughtful, probing, and deeply pastoral, this reflection enriches your Come, Follow Me study with a renewed vision of God's empathy and the sacred responsibility of human agency.

Visit Osprey publishing to see their incredible catalogue of military history books - https://www.ospreypublishing.com Britain has a Royal Navy. A Royal Air Force. And yet… a British Army. Not a Royal Army. Why? If you've ever tried to find a clear answer, you'll know how unsatisfying the usual explanations are. Tradition. Regiments. Legal technicalities. All true - and all incomplete. The full reason lies far deeper, in a violent and deeply uncomfortable chapter of British history. To find it, you have to rewind nearly four hundred years, to the English Civil War - a moment when England experimented with something new, dangerous, and unprecedented. This episode follows that experiment as it spirals out of control: the first redcoats, armies choosing sides, kings losing authority, and politicians learning lessons the hard way.

This episode of The Mountain Podcast centers on Psalm 23 and explores how God leads people into transformation through stillness rather than busyness. The pastor contrasts modern, hurried life with God's “old ways,” explaining that spiritual growth, healing, and identity formation happen when we trust God as Shepherd, surrender personal desire, and allow Him to lead us beside “still waters.” Drawing from neuroscience, personal testimony, and Scripture, the message emphasizes silence, reflection, and long‑term obedience as essential for integrating life's pain, loss, and conflict with God's presence—especially in seasons like the “valley of the shadow of death”—ultimately inviting listeners to rest, trust, and receive restoration rather than react or rush.

The kind of Christianity Christ blesses is on that is in harmony with the Beatitudes.

Middle East peace summits have discussed the possibility of Israel surrendering territory to the Palestinians or the surrounding Arab nations in exchange for peace.

This is part three of the Restoration Theology class. If there’s one thing I’ve learned about communicating with people who don’t come from my background, it’s that assumptions matter. It’s important to know what I’m assuming and what the other is assuming so we can have meaningful dialog. In our episode today, we’re talking about two presuppositions that restorationists bring to theology: primacy and perspicuity. These two are key footings upon which we will build the foundation of restoration theology. For some of you, what I have to say will seem obvious and unnecessary to spell out while others may find themselves disagreeing with the restorationist approach. Whatever the case may be for you, all I ask is that you hear me out.   Listen on Spotify   Listen on Apple Podcasts —— Links —— Check out the other episodes of the Restoration Theology class Support Restitutio by donating here Join our Facebook group, follow on X @RestitutioSF or Instagram @Sean.P.Finnegan Leave a 90 second voice message via SpeakPipe with questions or comments and we may play it out on the air Who is Sean Finnegan?  Read his bio here Get Finnegan’s book, Kingdom Journey to learn about God’s kingdom coming on earth as well as the story of how Christianity lost this pearl of great price.

Healing MS Naturally: Bridging Science and Soul Can you truly reclaim your health from the inside out?In this episode of Mind Body Medicine for Self Healers, I sit down with holistic transformation guide Christine Ruch to discuss her incredible 20-year journey of healing Multiple Sclerosis (MS) naturally.After moving beyond mainstream medicine, Christine utilized nervous system restoration, whole-food nutrition and spiritual practices to reconnect with her body's innate wisdom. We dive deep into the connection between autoimmune disease and the nervous system, the importance of emotional capacity and why "remodelling" your relationship with your emotions is a primary key to lasting transformation. Whether you are living with MS or seeking holistic healing for chronic illness, this conversation offers grounded practices to move from symptom management to true inner healing.Key Takeaways 01:50 Early Red Flags & Body Sensitivity Before her MS diagnosis, Christine struggled with weight issues, severe skin conditions (rosacea and eczema) & environmental allergies, signs that her body was already in a state of high sensitivity.04:31 The "Missing Piece": Nervous System Regulation After years of focusing on diet and lifestyle, Christine realized that nervous system work was the most overlooked part of her journey. She explains why this should be an integral part of healing not just "woo-woo" support.08:13 Eliminating Common Inflammatory Triggers: autoimmune conditions start by eliminating "the big four" inflammatory products; refined sugar, gluten, dairy and often egg products.08:57 The Role of Emotional Trauma: How a "disordered nervous system" and unprocessed emotional stress can feed autoimmune conditions and prevent the body from entering a healing state.10:18 Building "Emotional Capacity": We are not our emotions. Learning to hold space for uncomfortable feelings without creating a "story" or an "identity" around them is a foundational step in recovery.18:31 Developing a Body-Language Dialogue: The importance of listening to your body like a "newborn infant"—with curiosity and tenderness—to move from a place of fear to a place of internal trust.28:56 The "Type A" Stress Identity: Christine used to "thrive on stress" as a high-achieving chef, only to realize later that her high-pressure lifestyle was kept in service of a dysregulated nervous system.Christine's Bio Christine Ruch is a Holistic Transformation Guide who helps people with health conditions reconnect to their body's innate wisdom and healing potential. After spending 20 years healing her own MS naturally through whole food nutrition, nervous system restoration, spiritual practice, plant medicine, deep self-inquiry and many other Eastern and Western modalities, Christine now guides others on their own transformative healing path. Her work bridges science and soul—offering tools to move beyond symptom management and into lasting inner healing.

Send us a textA quiet lie can steer a whole life. We sat down with Pastor Gary Thomas, author of Living the Life You Were Reborn to Live: Dismantling 12 Lies That Rob Your Intimacy with God, to name the deceptions that slip into our thinking, even inside church walls, and to rebuild a vision of intimacy with God that can weather real storms. From the first moments, we trace how distraction has become the pattern of our age and why a renewed mind is the only way back to delight, trust, and fruitful obedience.Gary takes us behind his new book and the intentional choice of the word “dismantling”—a call to active agency in pulling down structures that block spiritual growth. We explore how small, untested myths shape daily choices, then map that insight onto spiritual half-truths that leave us frustrated with God. The conversation turns tender and bold when we address “family first.” Jesus warned that allegiance to him can divide households; anchoring identity in the Father's love frees us from chasing validation in our children's responses and equips us to love without bargaining. That shift releases unnecessary shame and restores the courage to hold truth with humility.We also dive into control and the lost art of spiritual adventure. When we surrender outcomes and stay alert to the Spirit's movement, God often uses surprising agents to answer our prayers. Finally, we reframe peace. It isn't situational—stacked on health, money, and harmony—but relational, grounded in the presence of Christ who holds us when the house shakes. If fear imagines futures without God, peace remembers who is with us right now. If this conversation helped you see your life and faith with fresh eyes, subscribe, share it with a friend who needs courage today, and leave a review so more listeners can find the show.Follow Gary Thomas on Instagram: Gary Thomas BooksVisit Gary's Website: Gary Thomas Get the shownotes: SHOWNOTESSupport the showBegin Your Heartlifter's Journey: Support the show: Your Donation Matters Leave a review and rate the podcast: WRITE A REVIEW Make a tax-deductible donation through Heartlift International Visit and subscribe to Heartlift Central on Substack.

The Ericksons introduce a massive new scripture project for Independent Mormons and all Restorationists. We discuss the contentious issue of priesthood authority outside the LDS Church, and explain why they believe authority can exist in multiple branches of the Restoration simultaneously. https://youtu.be/aSKNhcLwtqY Don’t miss our other conversations on Mormon fundamentalism: https://gospeltangents.com/denominations/fundamentalim/ 00:00 – Independent Mormons Restored Version of Scriptures: Discussion of a new “triple combination” project spearheaded by Drew Briney. This edition includes the 1840 Book of Mormon text, formatted in paragraphs, and contains nearly 100 unpublished revelations from Joseph Smith and John Taylor. 12:00 – Details of the New Edition: The new scriptures are annotated to show every substantial change in the text over history. It excludes “press releases” like the Manifestos but includes the Lectures on Faith and the full Wentworth Letter. 20:00 – The Authority Question: Rick asks how the Ericksons claim authority without belonging to an established group like the AUB or Kingstons. Joshua argues that authority is broadly distributed, citing the Book of Mormon where Lehi and Jeremiah held authority simultaneously without coordinating. 28:00 – Priesthood vs. Church: A discussion on the fundamentalist view that the priesthood exists independently of the corporate church structure. Joshua shares his experience of being rebaptized and reordained to align with scriptural requirements for married priesthood holders. 35:00 – Rebaptism: Why independents view rebaptism as a renewable covenant and a preparation for special events (like temple dedications), rather than a one-time event3536. • 40:00 – Can Josephites and Brighamites Unite?: The group discusses the difficulty of unifying the various Restoration branches, noting that polygamy is often the “third rail” that prevents full unity

In this episode of the Habit-Based Lifestyle Podcast, host Jesse Ewell Featuring an interview with Dr. Linzi Saigh Larsen, a naturopathic doctor and owner of Total Health Restoration in Iron River, Michigan. Takeaways: Dr. Lindsay Se struggled with burnout and creative blocks while working in the traditional time-for-money healthcare model. Determined to make a bigger impact and escape that cycle, she decided to create a scaled program. She launched her Total Health Restoration group program, and the results were remarkable. Her beta launch earned $37,000 from 17 clients, nearly three times her normal monthly income, proving that healthcare providers can successfully shift to higher-impact, higher-value offerings. Clients in her program reported significant health improvements, especially eliminating brain fog and boosting vitality, which they valued even more than weight loss. These real results reinforced the value of her work. Dr. Lindsay credits her success to being coachable, overcoming fear around higher-ticket offers, and choosing action over overthinking. Her biggest regret? Waiting six years to hire a business coach a decision she now sees would have helped her grow much faster. Perfect for entrepreneurs, small business owners, and anyone looking to scale their business through social media.
