“Why are Esther’s chapters not sequential?” This question leads to a discussion about the structure of the Book of Esther, addressing why it begins with chapter 10 and revisits earlier events. Other topics include the meaning of Romans 5:7, the implications of modern technology as a new Tower of Babel, and advice for those new to reading scripture. Join the Catholic Answers Live Club Newsletter Invite our apologists to speak at your parish! Visit Catholicanswersspeakers.com Questions Covered: 04:47 – I'm reading the RSV of the Book of Esther. Why are the chapters not sequential? It starts with chapter 10 (or so) and then later goes back to chapter 1. 12:50 – What does Romans 5:7 mean? “Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous man, though for a good man someone might possibly dare to die.” 20:26 – Could modern technology be a new Tower of Babel? 33:28 – What is the best scholarly work that refutes Bart Ehrman's view that the gospels are not reliable? 42:05 – I am grew up, but I have not actually read much scripture before. I would like to start. What is the best way to start? I get bored easily, and I don't want to start and then lose momentum. 50:20 – On the road to Emmaus, one of the disciples is named and the other is not. I've heard speculation that is because the other was his wife. What do you make of this speculation?

The benefits of getting a shingles vaccine seem relatively straightforward: It will prevent you from getting shingles, a painful rash caused by the same virus that causes chickenpox. But researchers have found a surprising link between getting the shingles vaccine and a lower risk of developing dementia. And that's not the only vaccine that seems to have additional benefits. So what's going on here?  To help explain this research are epidemiologist Pascal Geldsetzer, who studies the association between the shingles vaccine and lower rates of dementia; and physician and epidemiologist Helen Chu, who studies the Flu, RSV and COVID-19 viruses. Guests: Dr. Pascal Geldsetzer is an assistant professor of medicine, epidemiology and population health at Stanford University.  Dr. Helen Chu is a professor of epidemiology, allergy and infectious diseases at the University of Washington.  Other episodes you may enjoy: Study Finds COVID mRNA Vaccines Boost Cancer Treatment As Cervical Cancer Deaths Plummet, Experts Credit HPV Vaccine Transcripts for each episode are available within 1-3 days at sciencefriday.com.

“Behind every breakthrough are countless failures no one ever sees—but that's exactly what makes progress possible.” Dr. Thomas Kaiser. When I have scientists on the podcast: they're some of the coolest, smartest, funniest people, and they're always willing (and excited) to explain what they do in ways you can actually understand. Dr. Tom Kaiser is no exception. He lives and works in Durham, North Carolina, and brings together an impressive mix of scientist, physician, and entrepreneur. His work focuses on designing better medicines using cutting-edge technology. He began his career at Emory University in Dennis Liotta's lab, working on antiviral drug discovery, and later helped pioneer early machine learning approaches in drug design. His research spans RSV, cancer, and neurodegenerative diseases, and he went on to earn his medical degree from the University of Oxford. Tom is now the co-founder and Chief Scientific Officer of Avicenna Biosciences, where he's leading the development of innovative therapies aimed at improving and saving lives. And my favorite detail from his bio? He ends it by mentioning the love of his life, his wife. I'll be honest, when I first met him, I told Dr. Kaiser he seemed like someone who must have been in a movie. He's just that cool. His Company: Dr. Thomas Kaiser shares the story behind his company's name, Ibn Sina, also known as Avicenna a true Renaissance figure of the Islamic Golden Age. A physician, philosopher, and scientist, Ibn Sina embodied the kind of multidisciplinary thinking that still drives innovation today. It's a powerful reminder that the roots of modern medicine, and the spirit of discovery stretch back centuries. The Part We Don't Talk About Enough Science is not a straight line. Not even close. Experiments fail. Clinical trials don't work. Hypotheses fall apart after years of effort. Funding can disappear. Progress can stall in ways that are frustrating and sometimes heartbreaking especially when patients are waiting. Dr. Kaiser speaks about this with a clarity and calm that really stayed with me. Because the truth is: scientists have to keep going anyway. They carry the weight of those disappointments and start again. They adjust, rethink, rebuild, and try again. Over and over. And that persistence? That's where breakthroughs come from. From the outside, it's easy to celebrate the wins ... the new drug, the successful trial, the headlines. But behind every one of those moments are countless failures no one ever sees. For families like ours, waiting, hoping, advocating it matters to understand that this difficult process is also what makes progress possible. Living the Dream What if you actually got to live the dream you had as a kid? In this conversation, Dr. Thomas Kaiser shares something surprisingly personal: he feels lucky to be doing exactly what he dreamed of as a child. That early curiosity grew into a career designing new medicines and pushing the boundaries of science. From imagination to impact, his journey is a reminder that sometimes those childhood passions really can shape the future.

864 They Will Heed Your Voice, A Guided Christian Meditation on Exodus 3:16-19 with the Recenter With Christ app The purpose of this podcast is to help you find more peace in  and connect with the true source of peace, Jesus Christ.  Outline: Relaxation, Reading, Meditation, Prayer, Contemplation and Visualization.  You can sit comfortably and uninterrupted for about 20 minutes.You should hopefully not be driving or anything tense or unrelaxing.  If you feel comfortable to do so, I invite you to close your eyes.   Guided Relaxation / Guided Meditation:   Breathe and direct your thoughts to connecting with God. Let your stomach be a balloon inflate,  deflate. Scripture for Meditation Exodus 3 NKJV 16 Go and gather the elders of Israel together, and say to them, 'The Lord God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Jacob, appeared to me, saying, "I have surely visited you and seen what is done to you in Egypt; 17 and I have said I will bring you up out of the affliction of Egypt to the land of the Canaanites and the Hittites and the Amorites and the Perizzites and the Hivites and the Jebusites, to a land flowing with milk and honey." ' 18 Then they will heed your voice; and you shall come, you and the elders of Israel, to the king of Egypt; and you shall say to him, 'The Lord God of the Hebrews has met with us; and now, please, let us go three days' journey into the wilderness, that we may sacrifice to the Lord our God.' 19 But I am sure that the king of Egypt will not let you go, no, not even by a mighty hand. 2 RSV 16 Go and gather the elders of Israel together, and say to them, 'The Lord, the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Jacob, has appeared to me, saying, "I have observed you and what has been done to you in Egypt; 17 and I promise that I will bring you up out of the affliction of Egypt, to the land of the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Amorites, the Per′izzites, the Hivites, and the Jeb′usites, a land flowing with milk and honey."' 18 And they will hearken to your voice; and you and the elders of Israel shall go to the king of Egypt and say to him, 'The Lord, the God of the Hebrews, has met with us; and now, we pray you, let us go a three days' journey into the wilderness, that we may sacrifice to the Lord our God.' 19 I know that the king of Egypt will not let you go unless compelled by a mighty hand. Reflection on Scripture: God called Moses to listen to the voice of a burning bush in the wilderness and from the beginning God told him that the people would accept him and that the Pharaoh would not. God knew with precision what would be required to deliver His people from bondage and He told Moses all about it. This was an unknown blessing. Moses did not understand the blessing that he was given. He was given the answer for how it would pan out. Many times in our lives we take steps into what seems to be darkness to our eyes. There have been many times in my life and my ministry where I feel I have gotten only a small partial direction without any indication of what would happen. In fact my whole journey to become a Chaplain took me a total of 8 years and I had no assurance that my path would end in success as it has.  Invariably I suspect for most things God directs us to do we will not get clear direction on the outcome. DIcernment in and of itself is a valuable thing. After we are reasonably assured we have been given a direction the battle is not over. We have to just roger up and do the best we can and stay open to further guidance God gives us along the way. Moses was told the people would listen and that Pharaoh would only respond when compelled but many times Moses didn't know what was coming next.  God invites us into a relationship of trust. He had no such relationship with king of Epypt. So in this situation although it would be very challenging to be Moses, it would be far worse to be the king who opposed him, who opposed God. So the invitation stands to each of us. Do we respond to the call of the Lord or do we choose what our human passions desire? Do we bravely wade into the deep waters, sustained by a God of wonders or do we cower in fear hiding from the Lord? I know what I want that answer to be for me, what is left is actually doing it.  Meditation of Prayer: Pray as directed by the Spirit. Dedicate these moments to the patient waiting, when you feel ready ask God for understanding you desire from Him. Meditation of God and His Glory / Hesychasm: I invite you to sit in silence feeling patient for your own faults and trials. Summarize what insights you have gained during this meditation and meditate and visualize positive change in your life: This is a listener funded podcast at patreon.com/christianmeditationpodcast Final Question: If you consider the invitation and command to persevere in the faith, what change in your life does that bring to your mind?  FIND ME ON: Download my free app: Recenter with Christ Website - ChristianMeditationPodcast.com Voicemail - (602) 888-3795 Email: jared@christianmeditationpodcast.com Apple Podcasts - Christian Meditation Podcast Facebook.com/christianmeditationpodcast Youtube.com/christianmeditaitonpodcast Twitter - @ChristianMedPod

Lower Risk of Dementia with AS01-Adjuvanted Vaccination Against Shingles and Respiratory Syncytial Virus Infections

Dr. Margarita Fedorova discusses whether a vaccine ingredient is quietly protecting the brain.  Show citation:  Taquet M, Todd JA, Harrison PJ. Lower risk of dementia with AS01-adjuvanted vaccination against shingles and respiratory syncytial virus infections. NPJ Vaccines. 2025;10(1):130. Published 2025 Jun 25. doi:10.1038/s41541-025-01172-3 Show transcript:  Dr. Margarita Fedorova:  Welcome to Neurology Minute. My name is Margarita Fedorova, and I'm a neurology resident at the Cleveland Clinic. Today we're exploring a study that raises a compelling question. Could a vaccine ingredient be quietly protecting the brain? A recent study by Taquet et al., published in npj Vaccines in 2025, investigated whether vaccination with an AS01-adjuvanted vaccine is associated with a lower risk of dementia. You might know it as the immune-boosting ingredient in Shingrix, the shingles vaccine, and Arexvy, the new RSV vaccine. We already know from prior work that the Shingrix vaccine was associated with a reduced risk of dementia, but the question this paper asks is why. Is it because preventing shingles itself protects the brain, or is there something specific about the adjuvant that's doing the work? To answer this, the researchers used a large US electronic health record database comparing over 35,000 people who received the AS01-adjuvanted RSV vaccine, over 100,000 who received the AS01-adjuvanted shingles vaccine and over 78,000 who received both. Each matched against individuals who got the seasonal flu vaccine instead. The findings were interesting. People who received the RSV vaccine had a 29% lower risk of new dementia diagnosis over the following 18 months. Those who received the shingles vaccine had an 18% increase in time without dementia, and those who received both had a 37% increase in dementia-free time. Here's a key insight. Both vaccines target completely different viruses, but both contain the same adjuvant. The fact that a similar protective signal was seen with both suggests the benefit may not be about which virus is prevented, and it may be about the AS01 itself. Why might an adjuvant protect the brain? AS01 contains two active components, monophosphoryl lipid A, known as MPL, and QS21. Together they activate macrophages and dendritic cells, triggering cascade that includes a production of interferon gamma. In animal models, stimulation of a receptor called toll-like receptor 4, which MPL activates, has been shown to reduce Alzheimer's-like pathology. The authors also point out that the protective effect appears within just a few months of vaccination, which is hard to explain purely by prevented infections and may point instead to a direct immunological mechanism. Very important caveat. This is an observational study, not a randomized trial, so we can't prove causation. There was also uncertainty about which brand of RSV vaccines some patients received, which could affect the strength of the AS01-specific conclusion. And with all of the dementia studies, it's unclear whether the vaccines prevent dementia or delay its onset. Though even a delay would be clinically meaningful given how few tools we have. What does this mean for clinical practice? For now, it doesn't change your vaccination recommendations. Both Shingrix and Arexvy already indicated in appropriate patients for the primary purposes, but it adds an intriguing possible benefit when counseling patients who ask about vaccines. And it opens the door to a genuinely exciting question. If AS01 has neuroprotective properties, could it be studied in a therapeutic target in its own right? That's the Neurology Minute for today. Keep exploring and we'll see you next time. If you want to read more, please find the paper by Maxime Taquet, et al., titled Lower Risk of Dementia with AS01-Adjuvanted Vaccination Against Shingles and Respiratory Syncytial Virus Infections, published in npj Vaccines in June 2025.

Breathing out shouldn't feel like pushing air through a straw, but for millions of people that's the daily reality of COPD. We sit down and translate chronic obstructive pulmonary disease into plain English, starting with what the name really means and why the main problem is often getting air out, not just getting air in. If you've ever heard someone say they “can't catch their breath,” we give you a clear picture of what may be happening inside the lungs.We walk through a simple model of breathing using an upside-down tree and tiny balloon-like air sacs, then explain what changes in COPD: inflamed, narrowed airways and air sacs that lose their stretch. That combination can trap air, making each new breath feel harder than the last. We also talk about the slow burn of how COPD develops over time, why smoking is the most common cause, and how pollution, occupational dust or chemicals, secondhand smoke, and rare genetic factors can also play a role.From there, we get practical. We cover common COPD symptoms (shortness of breath with activity, chronic cough, mucus, wheezing, fatigue), how spirometry helps diagnose airflow limitation, and what treatment can actually do. We discuss inhalers, pulmonary rehabilitation, oxygen therapy for advanced cases, and why staying up to date on flu, RSV, and COVID vaccines matters for people at higher risk. We also break down COPD exacerbations, the flare-ups often triggered by infections that can cause a step down in lung function, and why early prevention and timely care are so important.Stick around for our post-medicine banter too.

Using Paul's marriage-and-death analogy, they explain that the law binds only while “alive,” and believers “die to the law” through Christ's crucifixion so they can belong to the risen Christ and bear fruit for God.

860 Who Am I That I Should Go, A Guided Christian Meditation on Exodus 3:10-12 with the Recenter With Christ app The purpose of this podcast is to help you find more peace in  and connect with the true source of peace, Jesus Christ.  Outline: Relaxation, Reading, Meditation, Prayer, Contemplation and Visualization.  You can sit comfortably and uninterrupted for about 20 minutes.You should hopefully not be driving or anything tense or unrelaxing.  If you feel comfortable to do so, I invite you to close your eyes.   Guided Relaxation / Guided Meditation:   Breathe and direct your thoughts to connecting with God. Let your stomach be a balloon inflate,  deflate. Scripture for Meditation Exodus 3 NIV 10 So now, go. I am sending you to Pharaoh to bring my people the Israelites out of Egypt." 11 But Moses said to God, "Who am I that I should go to Pharaoh and bring the Israelites out of Egypt?" 12 And God said, "I will be with you. And this will be the sign to you that it is I who have sent you: When you have brought the people out of Egypt, you will worship God on this mountain." RSV 10 Come, I will send you to Pharaoh that you may bring forth my people, the sons of Israel, out of Egypt." 11 But Moses said to God, "Who am I that I should go to Pharaoh, and bring the sons of Israel out of Egypt?" 12 He said, "But I will be with you; and this shall be the sign for you, that I have sent you: when you have brought forth the people out of Egypt, you shall serve God upon this mountain." Reflection on Scripture: Moses felt genuine and well placed self doubt. He knew that his own influence would not be enough to do what was in front of him. He knew that Pharaoh would not listen to him and do what he was being asked to do. He was quite literally being asked to do something that is impossible. Pumping himself up to believe he could do the impossible would be pointless. Sometimes in this world we get the message that all we have to do is manifest things by believing in them and that makes them come true. God invited Moses into something else. He said "I will be with you". It is the presence of the Lord that makes impossible things possible. When you encounter some massive issue in your life it doesn't even matter if you can even overcome the issue yourself. The message here though is that with God it is possible. When you feel overpowered, turn your confidence to the all powerful God of heaven.  The sign that God gives is that Moses will serve Him on the mountain. The answer to what is impossible is not your strength or wisdom, or anything else you do. Your talents do matter but they are not what make the real difference. The life saving difference. Let God prevail in your life. This meditation is your weekly reminder to put your confidence in your God. When your power fails, that does not mean that all power fails.  Meditation of Prayer: Pray as directed by the Spirit. Dedicate these moments to the patient waiting, when you feel ready ask God for understanding you desire from Him. Meditation of God and His Glory / Hesychasm: I invite you to sit in silence feeling patient for your own faults and trials. Summarize what insights you have gained during this meditation and meditate and visualize positive change in your life: This is a listener funded podcast at patreon.com/christianmeditationpodcast Final Question: If you consider the invitation and command to persevere in the faith, what change in your life does that bring to your mind?  FIND ME ON: Download my free app: Recenter with Christ Website - ChristianMeditationPodcast.com Voicemail - (602) 888-3795 Email: jared@christianmeditationpodcast.com Apple Podcasts - Christian Meditation Podcast Facebook.com/christianmeditationpodcast Youtube.com/christianmeditaitonpodcast Twitter - @ChristianMedPod

“For everything there is a season, a time for every activity under heaven. A time to be born and a time to die. A time to plant and a time to harvest.” (Ecclesiastes 3:1–2 NLT) Reflecting on the passing of human life, ethicist Michael Josephson wrote, “Ready or not, someday it will all come to an end. There will be no more sunrises, no minutes, hours or days. . . . So what will matter? How will the value of your days be measured? . . . Living a life that matters doesn’t happen by accident. It’s not a matter of circumstance but of choice.” The author of Ecclesiastes wrote, “For everything there is a season, a time for every activity under heaven. A time to be born and a time to die. A time to plant and a time to harvest” (Ecclesiastes 3:1–2 NLT). The psalmist wrote, “My future is in your hands” (Psalm 31:15 NLT). And Job said to God, “You have decided the length of our lives. You know how many months we will live, and we are not given a minute longer” (Job 14:5 NLT). Contemplating how short life is and how powerless we are to change that can trigger anxiety in some people. It magnifies the importance of being proactive in the choices you make, not to mention the importance of starting to make those choices as early as possible. To put it another way: The evening of your life is determined by the morning of your life. If you start prioritizing healthy eating and exercise as a young person and continue the practice throughout your life, you will enjoy the benefits for years and years. Likewise, if you start prioritizing the things of God as a young person and continue the practice throughout your life, you will reap unimaginable blessings for as long as you live. The author of Proverbs touched on this principle when he wrote, “Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it” (Proverbs 22:6 RSV). If you’re in the morning of your life—if, statistically speaking, you likely have many years ahead of you—now is not the time to sow your wild oats or to do the things you plan to repent for later. Now is the time to establish the habits, practices, and principles that will guide your life. Now is the time to study God’s Word, to memorize and apply it to every area of your life. Now is the time to begin the discipline of prayer, to set aside time every day to speak and listen to the Lord. Now is the time to develop and sharpen your skills when it comes to sharing your faith. If time is on your side, don’t let that advantage slip away. If you’re in the afternoon or even in the evening of life, the same principle applies, just in a different time frame. It’s never too late to adopt God-honoring disciplines. And right now, you’re as young as you’ll ever be. Reflection question: How can you prioritize and embrace God-honoring disciplines in your life?

What if medicine could protect us against many respiratory viruses at once? In this episode of Ben Yeoh Chats, Ben speaks with Brian Wang, Programme Director at ARIA, the UK's Advanced Research and Invention Agency. Brian leads ARIA's Sustained Viral Resilience programme, which is exploring whether we can harness the innate immune system to create a new kind of preventive medicine.Brian explains why most people think about immunity through antibodies, vaccines and the adaptive immune system, while the innate immune system is broader, faster and potentially better suited to broad-spectrum protection. The challenge is that innate immunity has historically been harder to understand and harder to engineer safely.Ben and Brian discuss whether sustained innate immuno-prophylactics, or SIPs, could one day provide months of protection against flu, RSV, coronaviruses and future pandemic threats from a single dose. They also explore AI for biology, synthetic biology, pandemic preparedness after COVID, medical regulation, the UK science base, and ARIA's model for funding high-risk research.A conversation about innate immunity, preventive medicine, pandemic resilience, AI in biology, and how breakthroughs actually happen.Link to transcript: https://www.thendobetter.com/investing/2026/5/8/brian-wang-on-innate-immunity-aria-and-a-new-kind-of-preventive-medicineContents00:40 What we misunderstand about the immune system02:04 Could one medicine protect against many viruses?03:55 Innate versus adaptive immunity06:18 Why innate immunity was overlooked16:36 Breakthroughs in innate immunology21:09 Why start with respiratory viruses?25:47 How ARIA funds frontier science29:27 Promising approaches to SIPs34:13 AI for biology and its limits38:15 Brian's path to ARIA39:16 Pandemic preparedness after COVID44:03 Overrated / underrated47:27 The UK science ecosystem50:15 Medical regulation53:31 GLP-1s and wider biomedical discovery56:47 Upcoming ARIA calls01:02:10 Advice for scientists and builders

Ulaganje u vrijednosti od 445 milijuna dolara znači da će Australci stariji od 75 godina, kao i Aboridžini i žitelji otočja Torresovog tjesnaca stariji od 60 godina moći besplatno pristupiti cijepljenju od sredine svibnja, što će im uštedjeti čak 300 dolara po cijepivu.

Is Tylenol really safe during pregnancy? Does it cause Autism? What about vaccines? And are you getting the nutrients your baby's brain actually needs?What if the most important health decisions you make during pregnancy are the ones nobody told you to think about?In this incredible & informational episode, I sit down with Dr. Ari Calhoun, naturopathic doctor, mama of two, and founder of Wholesome Brain Medicine.We're diving into the hot topics moms are actively Googling but rarely getting straight answers on: the Tylenol and autism connection, vaccines during pregnancy, and the specific nutrients that shape your baby's developing brain from the very beginning.Dr. Ari has a gift for giving you the real information without the fear spiral, and I think you're going to walk away from this episode feeling informed, empowered (and a little relieved!).Here's some highlights from the episode:The Tylenol and autism connection — what the current research actually shows and why some babies may be more vulnerable than othersHow to think through pregnancy vaccines (Tdap, RSV, and flu) individually instead of treating it as a simple yes or no decisionThe prenatal nutrients most providers aren't talking about, and why the form matters just as much as the doseWhy your microbiome during pregnancy could shape your child's long-term health in ways that might surprise youThe golden window around birth that most moms don't know exists and how to protect itSSRIs, antibiotics, and birth plans through the lens of neurodevelopmentHow to hold risk and peace at the same time, and make confident decisions even when there's no perfect answerIf you've ever felt overwhelmed by conflicting advice, dismissed by a provider, or just wanted someone to talk to you like an informed adult, this is that episode. Dr. Ari reminds us that you don't have to know everything to do right by your baby. You just have to care enough to ask the questions.

Send us Fan MailRomans 6: Dead to Sin, Alive to God Co-hosts Ken Corkins and pastor Rocky Alison discuss Romans 6:1–14 (RSV), focusing on Paul's rejection of antinomianism (“Are we to continue in sin that grace may abound? By no means”) and the teaching that believers have died to sin. They explain “baptized into Christ's death” as the first-century conversion process where confession, repentance, baptism (likely immersion), and church acceptance occurred together, signifying regeneration (“born again”) and a new life. Dying with Christ means release from sin's debt and slavery, while resurrection life begins at conversion, not only after physical death, through the indwelling Holy Spirit. They address whether Christians can live sin-free, noting Paul's coming struggle in Romans 7, and introduce the Methodist doctrine of entire sanctification as moments of being “perfected in love” toward God and neighbor. They announce a one-week break due to Rocky's trip and Ken's move. 00:00 Welcome and Catch Up 00:31 Romans 6 Reading 02:22 Grace vs Sin Debate 04:06 Baptized Into Death 05:18 First Century Baptism 09:54 Regeneration Born Again 12:47 Freed From Sin 16:02 Resurrection Starts Now 18:04 Sin No Dominion 20:23 Entire Sanctification 24:58 Wrap Up and Next TimeNEW!: Rate us at Podchaser  Find us at www.pondergmc.org. Feedback is welcome: PonderMethodist@gmail.com Music performed by the Ponder GMC worship team.Cover Art: Joe WagnerRecorded, edited and mixed by Snikrock

A @Christadelphians Video: *Ai Summary* [Inspiring] This thought-provoking and insightful exposition reveals why so many Bible translations exist, focusing on “challenging words” – rare terms that puzzled scholars for centuries. We explore how discoveries like the Rosetta Stone, Ugaritic, and the Oxyrhynchus Papyri have revolutionised our understanding of Hebrew and Greek. This wonderful, revealing journey shows that translation is a continuous process, not a one-off event. We learn to approach Scripture with humility, using multiple translations to benefit from each one's strengths. Outstanding content for anyone serious about God's Word. *Chapters* 00:00 – Introduction: why challenging words matter 00:42 – Hapax legomena and the need for constant revision 01:52 – Changes & discoveries: learning from ancient languages 02:25 – Akkadian: the language of Abraham and Nimrod's kingdom 05:01 – Rosetta Stone: unlocking hieroglyphics 07:16 – Ugaritic: the closest literary cousin to Hebrew 09:35 – New Testament Greek: from “Holy Spirit language” to everyday Koine 10:32 – Herculaneum papyri and the search for ordinary letters 12:02 – Oxyrhynchus Papyri: a treasure trove of receipts, letters, and everyday Greek 14:44 – Timeline: how translations (KJV, RV, RSV, NIV, ESV, NASB) relate to discoveries 16:00 – Example 1: “nuts and almonds” becomes “pistachio nuts” (Genesis 43:11) 21:04 – Example 2: “Tartan” – from a name to the title “field marshal” (2 Kings 18:17) 23:39 – Why Strong's is outdated, and modern lexicons (BDB, HALOT, BDAG) 25:56 – Conclusion: humility, using multiple translations, and always learning *Bible Verse Category*

They discuss how sin entered through one man and death spread to all, using this passage to explore original sin versus total depravity and how sin existed before Moses' law even though the law later made trespass clearer. They explain Paul's argument that death reigning from Adam to Moses implies sin was present, and they note Adam as a “type” of Christ in several ways while emphasizing Christ is not equal to Adam because Jesus' act of righteousness and grace is “much more,” bringing justification and eternal life. They also address how “where sin increased grace abounded” can be misused as an excuse to sin, and preview Romans 6:1–14 for next week. 00:00 Welcome and Setup 00:26 Reading Romans 5 02:17 Why All Sin 03:06 Original Sin Debate 05:44 Sin Before the Law 08:48 Adam as a Type 11:52 Much More Grace 14:37 Not Equal Opposites 16:29 Law and Abounding Grace 18:19 Wrap Up and Next WeekNEW!: Rate us at Podchaser  Find us at www.pondergmc.org. Feedback is welcome: PonderMethodist@gmail.com Music performed by the Ponder GMC worship team.Cover Art: Joe WagnerRecorded, edited and mixed by Snikrock

Heather Reese, Genomic Epidemiology and Preparedness Team Lead at CDC tells us about the Traveler-Based Genomic Surveillance (TGS) program: a cutting-edge effort that turns international travel into an early warning system for public health threats.  By combining voluntary nasal swabs from incoming travelers with wastewater sampling from aircraft, the program monitors for pathogens like COVID-19, flu, and RSV. These data help identify new variants and emerging strains, often before they begin circulating domestically, giving public health leaders critical time to prepare and respond.Driving Impact with Flexible FundingHow Public Health Can Support Modern Administrative Readiness in a Dynamic World | ASTHO

Send us Fan MailKen Corkins and pastor Rocky Ellison discuss Romans 5:1–11 (RSV) as a shift from how salvation happens to the benefits of being saved. They emphasize Paul's capitalized “THEREFORE,” arguing that sin makes people enemies at war with God, and justification by faith is a completed act that brings “peace” as a military cessation of hostilities, supporting their view of once-saved-always-saved against Methodist/Arminian theology. They explain “access” to grace using the Greek prosagoge (royal introduction or safe-harbor entry). They unpack Paul's logical chain: suffering produces endurance, character/sanctification, hope tied to resurrection, and culminates in God's love poured out through the Holy Spirit. They discuss “at the right time” both theologically planned and historically optimal, and highlight God's love shown in Christ dying for sinners/enemies, Jesus' blood as the final sacrifice, and rejoicing in reconciliation that removes sin's barrier with God.NEW!: Rate us at Podchaser  Find us at www.pondergmc.org. Feedback is welcome: PonderMethodist@gmail.com Music performed by the Ponder GMC worship team.Cover Art: Joe WagnerRecorded, edited and mixed by Snikrock

Tennessee Department of Health Vaccine-Preventable Diseases and Immunization Program and VFC interest form: Vaccine Operations Enrollment HubQuestions, please email VFC.enrollment@tn.govKey TakeawaysThe VFC program removes financial and logistical barriers to vaccination, allowing infants to receive life-saving vaccines at birth and during routine pediatric visits without cost to families.RSV immunization availability represents a major breakthrough in infant protection, with up to 90% effectiveness; birthing hospital enrollment is critical to reaching newborns during peak RSV season (October-March).Tennessee's declining kindergarten immunization rates and rising pertussis cases underscore the urgent need to expand VFC provider enrollment and improve vaccine access across the state.Hospital enrollment in VFC is administratively manageable with state support; the process includes paperwork, staff designation, temperature monitoring, and a site visit—not prohibitive barriers.Despite vocal vaccine hesitancy, most Tennessee parents support immunization; increasing provider enrollment directly addresses access issues rather than demand issues.Quotable Moments"VFC has prevented over 508 million illnesses across the U.S., avoided over 1.1 million deaths, and saved nearly $2.7 trillion.""Our ultimate goal is for babies to have access to life-saving vaccines before they leave the hospital.""These immunizations are up to 90% effective in preventing RSV-related hospital admissions. So we have a really, really great tool in our toolbox and we want to try to find a way to get this tool to all of our babies across Tennessee.""Most people still want their kids to be vaccinated. So I want everyone to take that home as like the main takeaway."Show Notes by Barevalue.No content or comments made in any TIPQC Healthy Mom Healthy Baby Podcast is intended to be comprehensive or medical advice.

852 Not Allowed To Live Forever in Sin, A Guided Christian Meditation on Genesis 3:20-22 with the Recenter With Christ app The purpose of this podcast is to help you find more peace in  and connect with the true source of peace, Jesus Christ.  Outline: Relaxation, Reading, Meditation, Prayer, Contemplation and Visualization.  You can sit comfortably and uninterrupted for about 20 minutes.You should hopefully not be driving or anything tense or unrelaxing.  If you feel comfortable to do so, I invite you to close your eyes.   Guided Relaxation / Guided Meditation:   Breathe and direct your thoughts to connecting with God. Let your stomach be a balloon inflate,  deflate. Scripture for Meditation Genesis 3 RSV 20 The man called his wife's name Eve, because she was the mother of all living. 21 And the Lord God made for Adam and for his wife garments of skins, and clothed them. 22 Then the Lord God said, "Behold, the man has become like one of us, knowing good and evil; and now, lest he put forth his hand and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever" NET 20 The man named his wife Eve, because she was the mother of all the living. 21 The Lord God made garments from skin for Adam and his wife, and clothed them. 22 And the Lord God said, "Now that the man has become like one of us, knowing good and evil, he must not be allowed to stretch out his hand and take also from the tree of life and eat, and live forever." Reflection on Scripture: In the continuation of Genesis 3 we see an incredibly fascinating issue. Eve receives her name as the mother of all humans. Additionally God clothed them, which replaced the poor example of coverage from the fig leafs. Ultimately this scripture is focused on setting up the human race for their need for the Lord. God acknowledged that the struggle in regards to the fruit, did in fact open Adam and Eve's eyes and allowed them to have knowledge of good and evil. This is the perfect concept to cover on Easter. It is an incredibly valuable distinction to make that living forever is not God's goal for us. After Adam and Eve ate the fruit, God then prevented them from eating from the tree of life. If God's goal for us was only to live forever, then there would be no interest or need to stop them. God's goal is that we are eternally reunited with Him. Jesus came to earth to overcome that death, but in the context of eternal salvation. When Jesus was born, His death fit within that structure of physicality related to humanity.  Similarly for us, we need death. If we were never to die, then we would be confined to earth forever in this form. God stated without ambiguity that this was not the plan. Even worse would be for us to die without any possibility to overcome it. Jesus' resurrection overcame that hurdle. God's ideal plan for us requires us to overcome death through the sacrifice of Jesus Christ. The victory of Easter is indirectly referenced in this scripture.  Easter is directly connected to creation and the fall. I want you to know one thing above all. God love the world enough to give up His only begotten son that whoever believes in Him should not die but have everlasting life. That eternal and everlasting life requires salvation from the God of the universe. I am so profoundly grateful that God loves us so much to offer that to us. Ponder on that love.  Meditation of Prayer: Pray as directed by the Spirit. Dedicate these moments to the patient waiting, when you feel ready ask God for understanding you desire from Him. Meditation of God and His Glory / Hesychasm: I invite you to sit in silence feeling patient for your own faults and trials. Summarize what insights you have gained during this meditation and meditate and visualize positive change in your life: This is a listener funded podcast at patreon.com/christianmeditationpodcast Final Question: If you consider the invitation and command to persevere in the faith, what change in your life does that bring to your mind?  FIND ME ON: Download my free app: Recenter with Christ Website - ChristianMeditationPodcast.com Voicemail - (602) 888-3795 Email: jared@christianmeditationpodcast.com Apple Podcasts - Christian Meditation Podcast Facebook.com/christianmeditationpodcast Youtube.com/christianmeditaitonpodcast Twitter - @ChristianMedPod
