Welcome to Day 2816 of Wisdom-Trek, and thank you for joining me. This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to Wisdom – Theology Thursday – Monotheism Redefined: Returning to the Biblical View. Wisdom-Trek Podcast Script - Day 2816 Welcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps!   I am Guthrie Chamberlain, and we are on Day 2816 of our Trek.   The Purpose of Wisdom-Trek is to create a legacy of wisdom, to seek out discernment and insights, and to boldly grow where few have chosen to grow before. Our current series of Theology Thursday lessons is written by theologian and teacher John Daniels. I have found that his lessons are short, easy to understand, doctrinally sound, and applicable to all who desire to learn more of God's Word. John's lessons can be found on his website   theologyinfive.com.   Today's lesson is titled:  Monotheism Redefined: Returning to the Biblical View. What we today call biblical monotheism did not deny the existence of other spiritual beings. Instead, it affirmed that only one God, Yahweh, is uncreated, eternal, and supreme over all. The biblical writers used the Hebrew word elohim to refer to beings who inhabit the spiritual realm. In English Bibles, elohim is most often translated as “God” when referring to Yahweh. However, the same word is also used in the Hebrew text for other beings, such as angels, foreign gods, and even the spirits of the dead. What makes Yahweh unique is not the term itself, but His nature. He alone is the Creator, and He alone possesses ultimate authority. The other elohim are real, but they are created beings whose existence does not diminish His supremacy. Worship belongs to Yahweh alone, not because no other spiritual beings exist, but because only He is worthy of it. Scripture presents a consistent picture of a populated spiritual realm. Psalm 82 depicts God standing in the divine council, judging other elohim. Deuteronomy 32:8–9 reveals that the nations were divided among the sons of God, while Israel was kept as Yahweh's own inheritance. In Job 1, heavenly beings present themselves before God. These texts are not metaphorical. They reflect a worldview in which Yahweh reigns supreme among many spiritual beings, none of whom share His nature or authority. This understanding of monotheism is relational and covenantal. It is not about counting spiritual beings, but about recognizing who is worthy of worship. Biblical monotheism is the exclusive devotion to the Most High Creator, not a claim that all other spiritual beings are imaginary or irrelevant. The first segment is: How the Definition Changed in the 19th and 20th Centuries. During the 19th century, scholars in Europe began applying evolutionary models to religion. They proposed that belief systems advanced in stages: from animism, to polytheism, to henotheism, and eventually to monotheism. According to this framework, biblical faith was not divinely revealed but merely the latest and most refined stage of human religious development. Thinkers like Max Müller and Julius Wellhausen categorized biblical texts in ways that supported this theory, suggesting that Israel's monotheism did not emerge until the prophetic or exilic period. This idea undermined the consistency and unity of the biblical witness by treating it as a collection of competing theological layers. In the 20th century, the redefinition continued. Monotheism came to be seen not as exclusive worship of one God, but as the belief that only one divine being qualifies for the category of “god.” Other spiritual beings were still acknowledged, such as angels, demons, and Satan, but they were reclassified into separate categories and stripped of any language that could associate them with divine authority or rulership. Terms like gods, elohim, or sons of God were either translated away or explained in ways that avoided conflict with the modern framework. As a result, the rich biblical portrayal of a divine council, spiritual rebellion, and cosmic hierarchy was flattened into a safer, more abstract system. The supernatural world remained populated, but only with beings understood as radically different in nature from God. They were no longer referred to as elohim in any meaningful sense. The Bible's spiritual structure was preserved in part, but its vocabulary and implications were domesticated. This shift had enormous consequences. It obscured the spiritual conflict that runs throughout Scripture and made it harder for modern readers to grasp the true stakes of idolatry, false worship, and divine judgment. It also reinforced the mistaken idea that the Bible evolved from polytheistic origins, when in fact its authors consistently proclaimed the supremacy of Yahweh while acknowledging the reality of other divine beings. The second segment is: Why This Is Not Polytheism. Polytheism is not simply the belief in many spiritual beings. It is a system in which multiple gods receive worship and exercise competing or overlapping authority. In polytheistic systems, gods can rise or fall in prominence. They may be born, die, or change form. Power is distributed across a pantheon, with no single deity holding permanent and unrivaled rule. Worshipers often align themselves with whichever god best serves their needs or offers the most favorable outcome. This stands in stark contrast to the biblical view. Yahweh does not rise or fall. He was not born, and He cannot be overthrown. His dominion is eternal, and He alone is the Creator of all things. The existence of lesser spiritual beings does not diminish His sovereignty. On the contrary, it highlights His role as the one who delegates authority, holds court over the divine council, and ultimately judges all rebellion. In passages like Psalm 82, the other elohim are real, but they are held accountable by the Most High. Their downfall is certain, and their authority is temporary. The key difference is that biblical monotheism calls for exclusive worship of Yahweh, not because others do not exist, but because only He is worthy. Polytheism distributes power and loyalty across many gods. The Bible calls for undivided allegiance to the one who created everything. The third segment is: Why Recovering the Biblical View Matters. Restoring the biblical definition of monotheism helps us recover the Bible's original supernatural worldview. It makes sense of otherwise puzzling passages and clarifies the nature of spiritual warfare. It also refutes the claim that Israel's faith evolved from earlier polytheistic traditions. From the earliest texts, the Bible presents Yahweh as supreme, surrounded by other spiritual beings, but ruling over them with absolute authority. Understanding this framework allows Christians to better grasp the cosmic conflict behind idolatry, the mission of Jesus to reclaim the nations, and the destiny of believers to share in His rule. It also exposes the false systems of worship that mimic divine hierarchy but are rooted in rebellion. True monotheism is not a denial of spiritual reality. It is a declaration of loyalty to the one true God. In Conclusion. Modern theology often acknowledges the existence of angels, demons, and other spiritual beings, but it tends to avoid describing them in the biblical language of gods or elohim. This narrowing of categories flattens the supernatural world of Scripture and redefines monotheism in a way that disconnects it from the biblical authors' intent. The Bible never asks readers to believe Yahweh is the only spiritual being in existence. It calls them to worship Him alone because He is the uncreated Creator and sovereign King. The other elohim, while real, are created, limited, and ultimately subject to judgment. Recovering this vision restores clarity to the biblical narrative and reminds us that monotheism is not about spiritual math—it is about loyalty to the Most High. For further study consider the following DISCUSSION QUESTIONS. How does the biblical use of the term elohimchallenge modern theological categories of angels, demons, and gods? Why is it important to distinguish between the existence of other spiritual beings and the exclusive worship of Yahweh? In what ways did 19th- and 20th-century scholarship alter the way people read the Bible's portrayal of the spiritual realm? How does recognizing a divine council and spiritual hierarchy enhance our understanding of passages like Psalm 82 or Deuteronomy 32:8–9? What are the dangers of reducing monotheism to a purely philosophical idea rather than seeing it as a call to covenantal loyalty?

How can health systems help nurses confidently adopt and trust AI? We'll explore how nurse-led design, clear guardrails (policy, consent, privacy), and intentional change management strategies help when implementing AI solutions that reduce cognitive burden, elevate the patient experience, and meet frontline expectations for safety, control, and transparency. In this episode of the AI at ViVE series on the BEAT podcast, host Sandy Vance sits down with Angie Curry, BSN, RN, CCDS, Chief Nursing Informatics Officer at Microsoft, to discuss how ambient AI is finally giving nurses the technological support they deserve. They chat about everything from the documentation burden nurses face, to the importance of workflow fit in driving adoption, to the critical role of human oversight in building trust with AI. If you're a nurse leader, clinical informatics professional, or healthcare innovator thinking about ambient AI, this episode is a must-listen. In this episode, they talk about: Microsoft developed the first ambient AI solution designed specifically for nurses, integrated with Epic's mobile Rover app Nurses spend roughly 40% of their shift on documentation, making them a prime candidate for ambient technology The solution captures spoken nurse-patient interactions and converts them into flow sheet-ready documentation for nurse review Nurses remain in full control, reviewing and approving all AI-generated content before it enters the patient record Trust in AI adoption is less about the technology itself and more about whether it fits naturally into existing nursing workflows Ambient listening captures "invisible care" that nurses often skip documenting due to time constraints Organizations have seen success with piloting on dedicated innovation units before scaling system-wide Documentation habits and language vary across organizations so designing solutions with nurses rather than for them is critical A Little About Angie: As a Chief Nursing Informatics Officer at Microsoft, Angie is passionate about transforming the way nurses experience technology. Drawing on years of bedside experience, she understands firsthand the challenges of documentation and the profound impact it has on patient care. Her mission is simple: to help nurses reclaim time for what matters most, caring for patients. Angie works at the intersection of clinical expertise and innovation, partnering with healthcare leaders to design solutions that feel intuitive, reduce cognitive load, and restore the joy of nursing. From ambient AI to workflow optimization, she believes technology should empower—never overwhelm—the caregivers who keep health systems running. Two Sentence Summary of Podcast Focus: How can health systems help nurses confidently adopt and trust AI? We'll explore how nurse-led design, clear guardrails (policy, consent, privacy), and intentional change management strategies can help when implementing AI solutions that reduce cognitive burden, elevate the patient experience, and meet frontline expectations for safety, control, and transparency.

In Part 2, Susan and Dr. Bill Rawls unpack the microbial side of chronic illness, why certain pathogens don't “hit fast,” but instead persist, seed the body, and reactivate when cellular stress is high.They discuss why antibiotics often fall short for slow-growing, stealth microbes (and why overuse can create bigger problems), then shift into what makes herbs different: broad-spectrum antimicrobial support + cellular protection that can be used long-term when appropriate.You'll also hear about medicinal mushrooms, why quality matters with supplements, and why restoring the body's “terrain” is just as important as targeting microbes.In This Episode:• Why persistent microbes can stay dormant, then reactivate• Antibiotics vs slow-growing infections + resistance concerns• Why herbs work differently (and why quality and form matter)• Medicinal mushrooms + adaptogenic support• Restoring the terrain to support immune + cellular healthLearn more about our guest Dr. Bill Rawls, MD:Vital Plan Co-Founder and Medical DirectorFor over 30 years, Dr. Bill Rawls has dedicated his life to medicine.

In Mark 3:1–12, Jesus confronts the religious leaders over what truly honors God. When a man with a shriveled hand enters the synagogue, the Pharisees watch closely to see if Jesus will heal on the Sabbath—not because they care about the man, but because they want a reason to accuse Him. Jesus exposes their hardened hearts and shows that God's commands were never meant to restrict life but to restore it.This passage reveals a sobering truth: religious systems can sometimes care more about protecting rules than loving people. But Jesus refuses to let compassion be silenced. With a word, He restores the man's hand and reveals the heart of God—one that values mercy over legalism and life over control.At the same time, Mark shows us two very different responses to Jesus. While the religious leaders begin plotting His destruction, crowds from every direction gather to experience His healing power.In this message, we explore what happens when the kingdom of God confronts hardened hearts, why Jesus challenges the misuse of religious rules, and how His authority reveals the true purpose of God's law: restoring people to life.// SCRIPTURE REFERENCES //Mark 3:1-12More info at the Bible Project: https://bibleproject.com/videos/mark/ // TAKE A NEXT STEP //Want to visit or discover more about Columbia View?

This is a call & an invitation. I had a massive realisation recently (for anyone who has been following recently, yes another one haha)!!!  My nervous system has been hijacked since I was a year old. I remembered something that I actually thought only happened when I was older. Our nervous system is the 'superhigway' between our Spirit & Our human, between Love & Fear, between the tangible & the intanigble. When backed up with traffic jams or messed up with road works, this symbiotic relationship & communication cannot flow, we are simply in survival. Part of my bigger mission (with this co-regulation tool call LUMA/LumiVitae) is to give people back full autonomy & sovereighty over their nervous systems, because when we do that, the 'Divine' flows again, fully, wholly, completely. Come join me.

Listening circles are one of the simplest — and most powerful — practices for building connection in groups. But why do they work so well?In this episode, Adam and Miriam explore how listening circles help regulate the nervous system, create psychological safety, and transform group dynamics.In a time when stress, polarization, and disconnection are rising, practices that help people slow down and listen deeply are more important than ever.Adam and Miriam, founders of Open Circle, explore the science behind listening circles, including the role of the autonomic nervous system, cultural influences on threat perception, and the impact of emotional contagion in groups.They also share why storytelling, mindfulness, and witnessing are powerful tools for creating spaces where people feel safe to speak and be heard.In this episode, you'll learn:Why listening circles help regulate the nervous systemHow stress distorts perception and communicationThe role of belonging in human survival and group dynamicsHow emotional contagion spreads stress—or calm—through groupsWhy storytelling and witnessing build deeper understandingKey TakeawaysOur nervous systems shape how we show up in groupsStress can amplify confirmation bias and threat perceptionBelonging is a biological needCalm and presence can spread through groups just like anxietyBeing witnessed without interruption builds trustLinksYou can find the accompany keynote presentation HERE for download.More information: Open Circle Listening Circle Trainings

Restoring Dignity : A Journey from Anxiety to Secured LoveTrigger Warning:This episode contains discussions of trauma, abuse, and sensitive topics that may be distressing to some listeners. Please take care while listening. In this heartfelt episode, two voices share their raw and honest stories of overcoming pain, loss, and shame to discover the unshakable love of Christ.

My new book, "The Weight Loss Cure," offers a step-by-step guide to rebuilding your gut ecosystem so you can restore your body's natural weight-control system — no injections required Your gut produces the same GLP-1 hormone that weight-loss drugs like Ozempic mimic, meaning your body already has the natural machinery for appetite control and fat burning Damage from seed oils and low-fiber diets weakens your gut barrier, disrupts GLP-1 signaling, and causes inflammation that blocks weight loss A key gut bacterium called Akkermansia muciniphila helps repair your gut lining, balance blood sugar, and promote natural fat loss — even in its pasteurized, non-living form Restoring gut health begins with repairing the barrier, reducing linoleic acid intake, and gradually reintroducing diverse fibers to produce "Gut Gems" like butyrate that calm inflammation and stabilize metabolism

SHOW NOTES: Notes, reference, freebies, and recommendations from this episode can be found at - https://www.morriswellnessservices.com/blog/185 Many common household cleaning products contain more than just soap. They often include quaternary ammonium compounds (quats), synthetic fragrance, chlorine compounds, and volatile organic compounds that can interfere with hormone balance over time. In this episode, we break down how cleaning chemicals enter the body through inhalation and skin contact, why “disinfect everything” culture may be doing more harm than good, and how these exposures can affect thyroid signaling, reproductive hormones, insulin regulation, lung health, and the nervous system. You'll learn: What quats are and where they hide How chlorine and bleach impact indoor air Why strong scent does not equal clean How repeated low-level exposure adds to endocrine load Practical, non-extreme swaps that reduce chemical stress This conversation focuses on discernment, not fear. Most surfaces do not require constant disinfecting. Mechanical cleaning with soap and water is often enough. Reducing chemical exposure lowers hormonal interference — but removing disruption is only step one. Restoring metabolic and endocrine function requires rebuilding intentionally. This episode is part of the Endocrine Disruptor Series exploring everyday exposures quietly impacting women's health.   This is the newly rebranded podcast, formerly known as "Your Birth, God's Way".

How many of you were taught that if you leave demons alone, they would leave you alone? Or maybe you were taught that real Christians did not have to battle with demons? Some are even taught that demons do not exist. The truth is that demons really do exist and their purpose is to mess up your life. The good news is that we, as believers, have authority over them. In this week's and next week's podcasts, I am going to look at some of the methods of spiritual warfare we have available to us for protecting ourselves from the schemes of the enemy.

Friendship is the quiet foundation of everything that makes marriage feel alive.It's what makes desire sustainable.It's what softens conflict.It's what creates emotional safety.It's what makes being married actually enjoyable.In this episode, we explore why friendship fades in the first place — and why that doesn't mean anything is terribly wrong. Sometimes it simply means you've entered a new season that requires more intention.We talk about:• The subtle ways couples grow apart over time • How stress, misattunement, and negative assumptions reshape connection • Why resentment often begins with small unmet needs • The quiet power of emotional safety • And why friendship is more strategic than sentimentalIf you've found yourself thinking, “We're fine… but we're not as close,” this conversation is for you.Becoming best friends again doesn't require starting over.It requires awareness.Willingness.And a shift in how you show up.This episode will help you do just that. And if you'd like to discuss joining my upcoming couples retreat, you can book a private application call with me here.

The Epstein files are out, and already, the discourse is shifting: Not toward accountability, but toward RESIGNATION.  "It's a psyop."  "They're testing us."  "Nothing will happen anyway." That framing, however sophisticated it sounds, is a form of collapse. And right now, children can't afford for us to intellectualize our way out of feeling. Because the moment we trade rage for a clever theory about why rage is useless, we've done exactly what systems of power require us to do.  We have managed ourselves on THEIR behalf. In this 45-minute episode, I break down step-by-step how we lose the internal, essential part of ourselves that sees CLEARLY what is happening: The Witness -- and how keeping it intact is an act of resistance. I also dive into -The 4 distinct ways the witness collapses; -How it's connected to learned helplessness; and -How to turn the witness back on (whether you're seasoned in somatics or just starting out). Finally, I share a personal story of waking up a formerly collapsed witness in this last new moon eclipse and why rage is required to reclaim the matriarchy.

Welcome back to the Restoring the Soul podcast with Michael John Cusick. In this episode, Michael and AJ Denson dive deeper into the transformative concepts from Michael's book, Sacred Attachment: Escaping Spiritual Exhaustion and Trusting Divine Love. Picking up where they left off, the conversation centers on the “Four S's” of attachment—Seen, Soothed, Safe, and Secure—and explores how these elements shape our spiritual and relational lives.Together, they reflect on the nuances of secure and insecure attachment, the power of rupture and repair in relationships, and how even well-intentioned parents and caregivers can struggle to meet these needs. Michael brings personal stories and practical insights, offering hope for healing attachment wounds, whether through new relational patterns or divine love.The episode also tackles the complex reality that attachment styles are not fixed but evolve with our circumstances and emotional states. Through compassionate storytelling and relatable examples, the hosts unravel what it means to be “soothed”—the crucial experience of knowing someone has “got you” in moments of distress, vulnerability, and everyday life.Support the showENGAGE THE RESTORING THE SOUL PODCAST:- Follow us on YouTube - Tweet us at @michaeljcusick and @PodcastRTS- Like us on Facebook- Follow us on Instagram & Twitter- Follow Michael on Twitter- Email us at info@restoringthesoul.com Thanks for listening!

Smylie and Charlie recap a wild Sunday at PGA National where the Bear Trap once again decided the Cognizant Classic. After Shane Lowry appeared in total control — birdieing 9, eagling 10, and building a three-shot lead — everything unraveled at the 16th tee.

When children are exposed to confronting sexualised online content, parents can be left reeling—worried about the impact, unsure what to do next, and tempted to jump into control mode. While Australia has now rolled out age restrictions for children and social media, much of the damage has already been done, leaving many families trying to work out how to respond. Yet children recover best when the adults around them restore their own steadiness first. When parents can respond calmly and with clarity, they create the secure space children need to make sense of what happened and re-establish healthy attitudes to sex and intimacy.In this episode, we speak with Dr Marshall Ballantine-Jones, a leading specialist in online sexualisation education with more than 25 years of experience supporting children, youth, and families. As CEO of DigiHelp Publishing, Marshall designs school-based programs that address the realities of online behaviour with honesty, compassion, and practical strategies.Together, we explore:Why children's online exposure can unsettle parents just as much as childrenGetting real about the damaging impacts of porn exposure for childrenHow parents can restore steadiness before guiding their child forwardPractical ways to support children as they recover and rebuild healthy understandings of sex and intimacyWhat effective “repair” looks like at home—without shame, panic, or overcontrolHow strengthening the parent-child connection remains the most protective factorThis conversation offers reassurance for parents who feel overwhelmed, replacing fear-driven reactions with grounded confidence. Instead of trying to control every risk, parents can learn to steady themselves—so their children can recover well and continue developing with hope and resilience.Linkshttps://digihelp.io/https://www.linkedin.com/in/marshall-ballantine-jones-2096a933a/6 Principles for Parenting in a Porn Culture:  https://resistministries.org/parents/Newsletter-https://parenthopeproject.com.au/#newsletter Youtube-http://www.youtube.com/@ParentHopeProject Facebook-https://www.facebook.com/coachingparents Instagram-https://www.instagram.com/parenthopeproject/ LinkedIn-https://www.linkedin.com/company/79093727/admin/feed/posts/ Website-https://parenthopeproject.com.au/ Contact us: Contact@parentproject.com.au (02) 9904 5600

1933 was a bad year for the Eastern Shore of Virginia. Slime mold wiped out the eelgrass beds in the shallow coastal waters. A big hurricane made things even worse. Without the seagrass habitat, fish and crab populations were decimated, and bay scallops vanished. And neither seagrass nor scallops were seen again for almost seven decades. Today, though, both are recovering. Healthy eelgrass covers 10,000 acres. And there are enough scallops that people are talking about opening a recreational harvesting season. The comeback began when a scientist at the College of William & Mary discovered a small patch of eelgrass, in 1997. He then began a program to restore the grass along the Eastern Shore, which is separated from the mainland by Chesapeake Bay. As the beds expanded, researchers began looking at restoring bay scallops. The scallops are about three inches across. They use small tentacles on the edges of their shells to sense their surroundings, and gills to filter food from the water. Scientists harvested scallops from North Carolina and elsewhere. They cultivated new generations in the lab, then slowly released them into the wild. And the population has taken off. A 2025 survey found by far the highest number of scallops since the project began. And researchers estimated the population could double over the following year and a half. That could make it possible for people to harvest a few of the tasty morsels in the coming years. The post Restoring Scallops appeared first on Marine Science Institute. The University of Texas at Austin..

In this episode of American Potential, host David From sits down with Emily Seidel, CEO of Americans for Prosperity, live from Philadelphia as the America 250 celebrations begin. Together, they reflect on the founding principles that shaped the nation — self-governance, individual liberty, and the belief that our rights come from our Creator — and why those ideas are still essential 250 years later. As pride in America declines and more people feel the American Dream is out of reach, Emily explains how the One Small Step campaign is working to restore hope and personal agency. From grassroots activism to empowering citizens to take meaningful action in their communities, this conversation explores how everyday Americans can recommit to the values that made the country exceptional — and help shape the next 250 years of freedom.
