Dan begins with a little known case of the Warren's about a grieving family heirloom and a century-old pact. Then,  we'll examine what many consider to be America's first documented ghost story.  Was Sullivan, Maine really home to America's first documented ghost? Then, Lynze gives us two unsettling tales this week. Her first takes us to a prison infirmary for a both a paranormal and very real life set of fears. She wraps up this week with a teacher and a student both experiencing something rather bizarre. Do you want to get all of our episodes a WEEK early, ad free?

Make Shift Men Can't Sacrifice Their Lives to Pass a Sh!t Test by Aaron Clarey

Your faith is a journey with no pause button. Why does Scripture insist on daily pursuit? Discover the quiet secret behind ‘No Days Off.' Join the message.This devotional was aired on Radio HCI Today via the WeLove Radio App.

The Tenpenny Files – Marketed as safe and empowering, a widely used birth control injection conceals a troubling history of secrecy, influence, and harm. This powerful investigation exposes how women are steered into medical decisions without full consent, while long-term health consequences are dismissed, ignored, or misdiagnosed by institutions designed to protect them...

Pastor Danielle Frazer shares a powerful moment from the life of Mary, showcasing her humble and generous act of anointing Jesus' feet with a costly perfume, highlighting her devotion and love in contrast to Judas' criticism.

Have you ever had a moment when your heart needed something solid to hold onto—something steady beneath your feet when nothing else felt certain? I think we’ve all been there. And in those tender places, there’s nothing more grounding than remembering the promises of God, promises He has never once failed to keep. That’s why I couldn’t wait to share this week’s conversation on The Love Offering with my friend Rachel Wojo. Rachel has lived through seasons that would shake anyone, yet she has learned—slowly and faithfully—to cling to the unchanging Word of God. Her new journal, Praying the Promises of God: A 52-Week Guided Prayer Journal, is a beautiful reflection of that journey. Rachel reminds us that while life often hands us disappointment or sorrow, God’s promises remain steady and true. Each page of her journal helps you read Scripture, remember His faithfulness, and reflect on His goodness—all while giving space to write your prayers, process your thoughts, and trace His hand in your everyday life. It’s the kind of resource that becomes a companion, especially in a season where we’re longing for peace. In our conversation, Rachel shares how praying God’s promises can melt worry into rest, strengthen weary hearts, and draw us deeper into His love. If you’ve been craving a fresh way to connect with the Lord in your quiet time—or if you simply need a gentle reminder that you’re held—this episode will speak right to you. I’d love for you to listen in today. I believe it will encourage your heart just as much as it did mine.

At nine years old watching a presidential debate, Shefali Razdan Duggal realized something: in America, a peanut farmer and the son of divorced parents could become president. Her mother was cutting vegetables at night, working as a seamstress by day. Politics became the path to help people like her mother. Decades later, she became the first person of color to serve as U.S. Ambassador to the Netherlands, where the Dutch named a fuchsia-pink tulip after her, the first ambassador from any country ever honored this way. But the journey between that childhood revelation and diplomatic triumph involved a different calculation entirely. "Women of color have to work four times as hard," Shefali states. Her response wasn't resentment—it was a choice. She calls it "weed whacking" for the people behind her. While serving 90-hour weeks, she operated from what she calls "complete and utter equality" with her entire embassy staff. The result? Her Marines ranked as one of the best detachments in Europe. Her embassy became one of the best-run on the continent. And when women of color visited the ambassador wall and saw her photo next to John Adams, they would start crying. In this conversation, Shefali explains why ego kills opportunities faster than anything else, how she managed crushing stress without punishing anyone around her, and what happens when you choose to "do something" instead of "be someone." She also reveals why your work may not benefit you immediately—but that's actually the point. Key Takeaways: Why working harder (when you shouldn't have to) clears the path for everyone behind you How to build relationships before you need them What "lift as you climb" actually looks like in practice Why starting at the base level with zero ego changes everything How to manage stress without taking it out on your team When your work benefits someone else instead of you—and why that matters About the Guest: The Honorable Shefali Razdan Duggal served as U.S. Ambassador to the Kingdom of the Netherlands from 2022-2025, becoming the first person of color in this role. Born in India and raised in Cincinnati, Ohio by a single mother working multiple minimum-wage jobs, she began her political career volunteering on Senator Ted Kennedy's campaign. The Dutch honored her by naming a tulip "Tulipa Shefali"—the first ambassador from any country to receive this tribute. Her book about her journey from immigrant daughter to diplomat releases summer 2026.

In this chilling episode of Cryptic Chronicles, I'm joined by my cohost Chillz as we dive deep into one of the most controversial theories surrounding modern history: was the tragic death of Princess Diana more than just a car accident? We explore the idea that her untimely passing might have been orchestrated as an occult sacrifice—a ritualized event loaded with symbolism, secrecy, and hidden agendas. From the eerie location of the crash to the strange numerology and Masonic undertones that some researchers point to, we peel back the layers of conspiracy that refuse to fade with time. Diana was more than just “the people's princess.” She was a cultural icon, a force of compassion, and—some argue—a threat to powerful institutions. But could her death have been part of something darker, a symbolic act woven into the fabric of esoteric power struggles? Join us as we unpack the occult theories, the political undercurrents, and the haunting coincidences surrounding one of the most shocking tragedies of the 20th century.

This sermon by Dr. Bobby Allen thoroughly examines what it means to accept the invitation to follow Jesus Christ. The message posits that discipleship is a call to radical transformation, demanding that believers deny themselves daily, surrender selfish desires, and prioritize God's will above personal comfort or relationships. Drawing on multiple biblical passages, the sermon explains that true commitment requires urgency and that the willingness to sacrifice is integral to taking up one's cross. The text argues that the practical demonstration of following Christ is found in living with purpose and loving others universally, offering grace and mercy to a world in need. Ultimately, while acknowledging the high cost of this devotion, the sermon concludes that the reward is incomparable, promising security, purpose, and the promise of eternal life.

The post Hebrews 11:11-19 (Sarah's Faith and Abraham's Sacrifice of Isaac) appeared first on The Inner Altar.

What does it really mean to follow Jesus in our world shaped by self-promotion, comfort, and convenience? In Philippians 2, we're invited into a radically different way – the way of Christ, who laid everything down in humility, obedience, and love. Pastor Louis helps us look at the true cost of being a disciple: ✨ choosing service over status ✨ embracing humility over selfishness ✨ living sacrificially for the sake of the Gospel – just as Jesus did. But sacrifice in the Kingdom is never loss. It leads us deeper into the heart of Christ, anchors us in joy, and draws us into the reward only God can give.

Fireside Devotional with Russ Ep289 - Better than Sacrifice

Obedience is the supreme response to God.If you are in need of prayer, let our Prayer Team know by contacting prayer@forestlakechurch.orgSermon video is available on YouTube and full service archives are available on Vimeo.Live services weekly from the sanctuary at 8:45 or 11:30 AM and 11:30 AM (Warehouse Community Contemporary Service) EST at www.ForestLake.Church

“We love because He first loved us.” — 1 John 4:19Those six simple words form the foundation of all Christian generosity. Every act of love, every gift we offer, every step of obedience begins with what God has already given to us. We don't start by giving—we start by receiving.In this spirit, Sharon Epps, President of Kingdom Advisors, joined us for a meaningful conversation on the often-overlooked generosity of the women who financially supported Jesus. Their story, found in Luke 8, gives us a powerful picture of what grateful, gospel-shaped giving looks like.Women Who Supported JesusLuke 8 opens with a glimpse into Jesus' ministry on the move:“Soon afterward he went on through cities and villages, proclaiming and bringing the Good News of the Kingdom of God… and also some women… Mary called Magdalene… Joanna, the wife of Chuza, Herod's household manager, and Susanna, and many others, who provided for them out of their means.”  — Luke 8:1–3These women formed part of Jesus' traveling ministry team, and Scripture highlights an astonishing truth: they provided for Jesus and His disciples out of their own resources.Among them was Joanna, a woman of high social standing and significant wealth. As the wife of King Herod's household manager, she lived with privilege—but Scripture also tells us she was once spiritually and physically broken. Jesus healed her, and her generosity flowed from that transformation.Receiving Always Comes Before GivingBefore Joanna gave to Jesus, she received from Jesus.Sharon points out that Luke intentionally includes this detail: these women had been healed—spiritually, emotionally, or physically—before they supported Jesus' ministry. It reminds us that money alone can't solve the deepest problems of the heart. We all begin our stewardship journey by receiving.At the most basic level, every good thing in our lives is a gift from God:The breath in our lungsThe abilities we developThe resources we holdThe love we experienceAs Paul writes in 1 Corinthians 4:7, “What do you have that you did not receive?” The answer is nothing.Giving, then, is designed to be a response—a natural overflow of gratitude.Joanna's Love for JesusJoanna's story doesn't end in Luke 8. We meet her again in Luke 24 at the empty tomb, heartbroken and confused, until the angels remind her of Jesus' words. Joanna becomes one of the first witnesses of the resurrection, running with Mary Magdalene and Mary, the mother of James, to tell the apostles.Her pattern is clear: She received from Jesus. She loved Jesus. And she gave to honor Jesus. Her generosity was not transactional—it was relational. It was the fruit of a transformed life.Generosity as a JourneySharon suggests that generosity is never a one-time event—it's a journey. As our relationship with Christ deepens, our giving naturally grows. Joanna shows us what sacrificial generosity looks like when it springs from grateful love.To make this practical, Sharon shared three questions she's been asking herself—questions all of us can ask:1. What do I need to recognize as a gift from Christ before I can give generously?Do I see what's in my hands as mine—or as His?2. Is my giving safe or sacrificial?Does my generosity reflect comfort… or love?3. What does my current giving say about how well I've received?Giving reveals the condition of the heart.These questions invite us into deeper intimacy with Jesus, because generous living always begins with grateful receiving.Becoming Conduits of Christ's LoveJoanna's life encourages us to see generosity not as a duty but as a joyful response to God's grace. As Sharon put it, her prayer—and ours—is to “receive so well that we become conduits of Christ's love through generosity.”May we, like these remarkable women, offer our resources, time, and lives with open hands—recognizing that every gift we give begins with the gift we've already received in Christ.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:I'm considering taking 72(t) withdrawals from my 401(k) in a couple of years as I retire and begin consulting. Should I plan on withdrawing around 5% annually, and if so, should I keep the money invested in stocks to aim for the usual 9–11% returns?My husband and I need about $8,000 and are debating whether to pull it from my 403(b), use benefits from his part-time retirement job, or tap a small annuity worth $3,000–$4,000. We want to pay off some credit cards and finish a car loan with three months left. What's the best source to use?We inherited enough money to either pay off our mortgage or cover about three-quarters of our daughter's student loan. The amounts are similar, and our mortgage is mostly principal now. I'm 61. Which payoff makes the most sense?I started my Social Security retirement benefits at age 70 this June. My younger husband reaches full retirement age next July. Can he take a spousal benefit equal to half of mine until he reaches FRA and then switch to his own higher benefit?I'm getting remarried, but my fiancée would lose nearly $1,500 in Social Security benefits she currently receives. Is there any way to avoid losing that benefit once we marry?Resources Mentioned:Faithful Steward: FaithFi's Quarterly Magazine (Become a FaithFi Partner)Wisdom Over Wealth: 12 Lessons from Ecclesiastes on MoneyLook At The Sparrows: A 21-Day Devotional on Financial Fear and AnxietyRich Toward God: A Study on the Parable of the Rich FoolFind a Certified Kingdom Advisor (CKA)FaithFi App Remember, you can call in to ask your questions every workday at (800) 525-7000.

“Is the Eucharist a Literal Sacrifice or a Symbolic Act?” This episode delves into the nature of the Eucharist, addressing questions like whether Jesus spoke symbolically when He said, “This is my body,” and how His command to ‘eat my flesh and drink my blood' aligns with Jewish law. We also explore the implications of Jesus' words, “Do this in remembrance of me,” and the teachings of the Book of Hebrews. Join the Catholic Answers Live Club Newsletter Invite our apologists to speak at your parish! Visit Catholicanswersspeakers.com Questions Covered: 02:36 – Wasn't Jesus speaking symbolically when He said, “This is my body”? 15:15 – Wouldn't Jesus' command to ‘eat my flesh and drink my blood' violate Jewish law against consuming blood? 37:25 – Didn't Jesus say, “Do this in remembrance of me”? Doesn't that clearly indicate the Eucharist is a memorial, not a literal sacrifice? 40:20 – Doesn't the Book of Hebrews teach that Christ's sacrifice was ‘once for all'? How can the Catholic Mass be a true sacrifice without re-sacrificing Christ? 49:00 – Wouldn't Jesus' command to ‘eat my flesh' be cannibalism

You know the feeling: the moment God asks for the one thing you're holding onto the tightest. In this raw, but essential conversation, Preston Morrison sits down with his twin, Tim Ross, to dismantle the myths around obedient sacrifice and reveal the uncomfortable truth: it always costs you something. This isn't just about money or time; it's about the deep, often painful, decision to let go of control and trust His ultimate plan. If you're wondering what you have to do to get to the "next level" in your faith, the answer may be simple, but the cost is high. You'll discover: The profound reason sacrifice always hurts (and why it's supposed to). Why the thing you are withholding is precisely what's blocking your future. How to trade comfort for the calling that truly leaves a legacy. Stop running from the pain of the ask. It's time to give Him whatever He asking for.

Most of us think of generosity as a sacrifice—something that costs us. But what if giving is actually one of the wisest, most joy-producing ways to live? When we open our hands, God not only blesses others through us—He transforms us in the process.That idea lies at the heart of Chip Ingram's book The Genius of Generosity, and it's why we were grateful to welcome him to the program. Chip is the founder, teaching pastor, and CEO of Living on the Edge, a discipleship ministry helping believers live like Christians every day.A Story That Changes EverythingChip's understanding of generosity was forever shaped by a man named John—a seventy-year-old accountant who invited Chip, then a young pastor, to lunch one day. After the meal, John handed him a small white box. Inside was a checkbook labeled Pastor's Discretionary Fund.John said, “Chip, here's what I'd like you to do. Carry this checkbook with you every day. Anytime you see a need that Jesus wants to meet—or that you think I'd want to help with—write a check.”Chip was stunned. He barely knew how to manage his own finances, let alone someone else's. But John invited him back three times each year to review every check. And so Chip began paying attention to needs around him—fueling a single mom's car, providing groceries for a struggling family, restoring electricity for another.Over time, something unexpected happened:Chip handled John's money more carefully than his own.He found himself eager to spot needs.And a deep friendship formed between two men who had nothing in common except a commitment to generosity.Years later, Chip realized the deeper lesson: What John did for him is what God does for all of us. We manage resources that are not ours. We steward what belongs to the King.That realization became the seed for The Genius of Generosity.Why Generosity Is More Than a VirtueChip told me that generosity didn't just change his financial habits—it changed his life. He began seeing giving as an adventure. He describes generosity as a “gateway to intimacy with God,” a doorway into deeper trust and joy. The more he gave, the more he saw God show up.And interestingly, secular research agrees. Chip noted that even if the Bible didn't exist, studies consistently show:Generous people are happier.They enjoy stronger relationships.They live longer and experience greater satisfaction.Why? Because generosity is a creative, life-giving act. It aligns us with how God designed the world.Generosity Connects Us—to God and to OthersJesus taught that wherever our treasure goes, our hearts follow. So every act of giving is spiritual formation. It's discipleship.And generosity builds unexpected bonds with others. Chip shared the story of a homeless man he saw regularly at a bagel shop. For months, the man never responded to Chip's greetings. One morning, Chip quietly bought him a coffee and a bagel. Minutes later, the man spoke—opening up about his life, his experiences, even pointing out the rare appearance of Venus in the sky.A simple act of kindness became the doorway to relationship and transformation.These moments, Chip says, are all around us if we have “our antenna up and our eyes off our phone.”Chip also told a story of a moment when God prompted him to give a six-figure gift—an amount he didn't feel he had. The Lord reminded him, “Do you think I can't replenish what you give?” Over the years, Chip has seen God refill what he gives away again and again, sometimes miraculously.That's the adventure of generosity: you can't out-give God.What If You Feel Like You Have Little to Give?Chip's encouragement is simple: “Start small. It's your view of God that needs to change, not your circumstances.”You don't wait until you're wealthy or “more spiritual” to begin giving. You practice generosity today—right where you are—and watch God grow your heart.The Genius of GenerosityIn the end, generosity is not about losing. It's about gaining—freedom from fear, deeper trust in God, richer relationships, and greater joy.When we give, we reflect the heart of the ultimate Giver. We discover that everything we have belongs to God—and that He delights to pour His blessings through open hands.To learn more about Chip Ingram and The Genius of Generosity, visit LivingOnTheEdge.org.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:I already have a will, but a company that visited our church said I also need a trust—and they quoted me $3,000 to set everything up. Do I really need a trust? They said that without a trust, my kids could spend months or years in probate and might have to fight over things. That made me nervous—so now I'm wondering if I really do need one.I've heard you explain capital gains when someone buys a home, but how does it work if you build your home and only have a small HELOC? So if my house is worth about $400,000 and I sold it… How would that be calculated? I inherited the land through my divorce and built the home after Hurricane Laura.Resources Mentioned:Faithful Steward: FaithFi's Quarterly Magazine (Become a FaithFi Partner)Living on the EdgeThe Genius of Generosity: Generous Living Is Joyful Living by Chip IngramWisdom Over Wealth: 12 Lessons from Ecclesiastes on MoneyLook At The Sparrows: A 21-Day Devotional on Financial Fear and AnxietyRich Toward God: A Study on the Parable of the Rich FoolFind a Certified Kingdom Advisor (CKA)FaithFi App Remember, you can call in to ask your questions every workday at (800) 525-7000.
