In a world filled with confusion about identity, Jesus speaks with clarity and authority: "You are the salt of the earth… the light of the world." In this celebration, we explore Matthew 5:13–16 not as a list of goals to strive for, but as a declaration of who we, as God's people, already are in Christ. Our identity is not shaped by feelings, culture, nor is it up for debate - it is given to us by the Father.   Using the imagery of salt and light, we as believers are called to live distinct lives that, like salt, preserve what is good, resist compromise, and shine the light of Christ in this dark world. Salt loses its power when mixed with impurities, and light is useless when hidden—so followers of Jesus are challenged to remove what dulls their witness and to live faithfully in the world without becoming like it.   This is lived out through consistent obedience, holiness, love, and faithfulness in everyday life. Our good works are not meant to draw attention to ourselves, but to point others to the glory of God. As our benediction for the year ahead, Pastor Maiola invites us to embrace our God-given identity and live in such a way that the world may see, believe, and glorify the Father.

Before Christmas we had Scott Dohner from Ohio on the show to hear about his company and try to answer some questions for him about options to standardize his salt spreader fleet. We promised that after the holidays we would get a panel of guys together to talk more about this topic for him, and here we are!

Second Baptist Church - Houston, TX | Jesus calls His followers "salt" and "light" -- two analogies that were layered with nuance in Israel back then -- framing what it means to be His follower today.

As the year comes to a close, Pastor Waxer invites us to reflect on what it means to finish well and stand firm in faith. Ephesians 6:10–18 calls us to stand firm by putting on the full armor of God. The life of the Christian is lived not in our own strength, but in the strength of the Lord. Each piece of the armor—the belt of truth, breastplate of righteousness, shoes of the gospel of peace, shield of faith, helmet of salvation, and sword of the Spirit—is unpacked as both protection and preparation for daily spiritual battles. Ephesians challenges us as believers to recognize the reality of spiritual warfare, to live guarded and intentional lives, and to rely on God's righteousness rather than our own. We are not only protected by God, but sent to love others, share the gospel, and live with eternity in view.   As the year ends and a new one begins, Pastor Waxer encourages us to take time for reflection, repentance, and renewal—letting God remove what no longer belongs, embracing our identity as children of God, and stepping forward equipped to live as salt and light in a dark world.

From 2026 travel trends and purposeful adventures to the weirdest etiquette rules of the past 100 years and the smartest things to buy in January—this week we blend humor, history, and practical tips. Join radio hosts Rebecca Wanner aka ‘BEC' and Jeff ‘Tigger' Erhardt (Tigger & BEC) with the latest in Outdoors & Western Lifestyle News! 2026 Travel Trends — Purposeful, Experiential & Flavor-Forward Travel in 2026 is all about doing less, but doing it better. Instead of cramming calendars with nonstop trips, travelers are prioritizing meaningful experiences, longer stays, and intentional planning that blends adventure, culture, and rest. Purposeful travel means choosing trips that matter—whether that's a family getaway, an outdoor escape, or a food-forward adventure that lets you slow down and soak it all in. What to Do Now If summer travel is on your radar, now is the time to start watching flights and hotel availability. Prices tend to reward early planners, especially for popular destinations. Travel Tuesday Tip: Shop for flights on Tuesdays when deals are more likely to appear. Pro Move: Use your browser in incognito mode to avoid cookies that can track searches and potentially drive prices up. Active Culinary Travel Takes Off One of the fastest-growing trends blends outdoor activity with regional food and wine experiences. Think hiking by day, local cuisine by night—travel that feeds both the soul and the appetite. The Weirdest Etiquette Advice from the Past 100 Years Good manners have always evolved—but some advice from the past now feels downright bizarre. A look back at etiquette rules from the 1880s through the 1970s reveals just how much society, parenting, and social norms have changed. Highlights include: 1880s: Women limited to one glass of champagne and expected to keep their hair up at all times—except in private. Early 1900s: Children were expected to never contradict adults and keep opinions to themselves. 1910s–1920s: Parents were advised to avoid hugging or kissing babies to prevent “spoiling” them. 1940s: Salt and pepper were inseparable at the table—always passed together. 1960s: The right hand was strictly the “social hand,” reserved for handshakes—not coughing, drinks, or purses. 1970s: Dinner bills were to be discussed before the meal to navigate changing gender roles. It's a reminder that what once passed for “proper” can feel completely out of touch just a few generations later. What to Buy in January — The Smart Shopper's Sweet Spot January is one of the best months of the year for strategic shopping, thanks to post-holiday sales and inventory resets. Whether you're upgrading your home, health, or wardrobe, this is when deals shine. Fitness & Wellness: Gym memberships, home workout equipment, smartwatches, and activewear Home Goods: Bedding, towels, blankets (hello, white sales), humidifiers, and routers Electronics: TVs and tech discounted after football season to make room for new models Winter Apparel: Coats, boots, gloves, and scarves—buy now for next year Thrifted Finds: Donation drops surge after the holidays, making thrift stores goldmines OUTDOORS FIELD REPORTS & COMMENTS We want to hear from you!

Swapping even half your salt for potassium chloride may make you more than a decade younger when it comes to premature death

On today's page, Zevachim 108, a pigeon's head, a pinch of salt, and an olive-sized requirement spark a surprisingly elegant debate. Is sameness defined by substance, by function, or by obligation? As the rabbis slow everything down and refuse to rush to judgment, they remind us that clarity often comes from sharper questions, not cleaner answers. What does it mean to let a dilemma stand? Listen and find out.

“When I tell people I started sailing at sixty, they're shocked. We don't see our sixties as a place to begin — which is tragic, especially if you've invested in your health. What's the point, if not to do something fantastic?”In this New Year's Eve episode of Ageless Athlete, I sit down with Deborah Hammett, a former school principal who did something most people never consider — she learned to sail at 60, moved onto a boat, and now lives and travels solo by sea.Deborah's story isn't really about sailing. It's about what happens when identity loosens. When long-held roles fall away. When you choose to become a beginner again — not because you have to, but because you want to feel alive.We talk about fear and solitude. About real consequences — like fixing an overheating engine thirty miles offshore with no help coming. About competence earned slowly, and confidence that comes not from comfort, but from adaptation.This conversation explores aging not as decline, but as a long arc of learning. It's about reinvention without theater. About staying open to awe. About asking a better question as we move into a new year: what would you do if the next chapter didn't need to look like the last one?Deborah shares the lived reality of life aboard a sailboat — the beauty, the friction, the quiet moments, and the hard-earned lessons — with honesty, humor, and humility.If this episode resonates, I highly recommend her book Young Salt at 60, where she tells the full story of learning to sail late, making plenty of mistakes, and choosing a bigger, more meaningful life after retirement. You can also follow Deborah on Instagram for real, unfiltered glimpses into life at sea:

This moment... this New Year... disturbs many. I want to share a disturbing moment from my autistic youth—and how I survived it. It weirdly relates to right now.At 70-something, this is the happiest time of my autistic life. Not chasing distant goals—just breathing in this fabulous moment here.This piece inverts Yeats' “Second Coming” to tell a personal story about my grandfather, sailing out to Montauk Point, and discovering that the anxiety of losing sight of shore gives way to something unexpected.Content Note: This piece addresses troubling family history and inherited complexity.My grandfather was a complex man who kept Mein Kampf in his nightstand. And who also took me sailing. Out on the water to Montauk Point, I'd experience overwhelming anxiety as we lost sight of shore. Just sky, waves, constant rolling. Disoriented, like a whiteout in a blizzard.But after an hour or so, I'd make my way to the prow. Wind on my face. Sun on my body. Salt breeze filling my chest.

This is our final episode of the year on Open Book, and I wanted to slow things down for a moment and take stock of what we've built together. Over the past year, we sat down with extraordinary authors, historians, thinkers, and storytellers—people who spent years wrestling with ideas so we could absorb them in hours. This episode is a reflection on those conversations, the books that shaped them, and why reading remains one of the highest-return investments you can make in your own life.

This conversation dives into inflation, affordability, and why the Federal Reserve's next moves will shape markets heading into 2026. We unpack Trump's pressure on interest rates, the politics behind choosing the next Fed chair, and how global liquidity—from AI-driven growth to the yen carry trade—ripples through stocks, currencies, and crypto. Along the way, we explore why Bitcoin's stalled momentum may be a contrarian signal rather than the end of the story. Michael Novogratz is the Founder and CEO of Galaxy Digital.

Noisy Doors, Leaky Roofs, and the Mark of the Beast Last week's newsletter was written to be very simple. This week...not simple. We're tying together our lessons on the Salt Covenant, The Scarlet Harlot, and the basic menorah pattern of Workbook One. So no, it's not simple, but it's not too difficult, either! Try printing it off and studying it over two Shabbats, referencing the suggested videos or workbooks as you go.   ***   So what do noisy doors, leaky roofs, and the mark of the beast have in common?    Excellent question! I'm glad you asked.   In order to see the connection, we have to know a little something about each of them. If you want a refresher on the Beast, consider signing up for the Creation Gospel Workbook Four class coming up with Kisha Gallagher (scroll down for info) or watching the Scarlet Harlot series on YouTube. You can also refresh your memory on the meaning of the mezuzah with our "More Than" YouTube videos. We'll cover a few basics here to tie it together.   “Behold, I stand at the door and knock; if anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and will dine with him, and he with Me…”   Yeshua standing at the door knocking is a huge hint, especially on the heels of John's sobering prophecies of the mark of the beast in Revelation. If we can't see the link to the world commercial system as “Babylon” in Revelation, we're not trying very hard. Revelation begins with memos to the seven assemblies emphasizing their need to “overcome” the tribulations John is about to describe,   • “Behold, I stand at the door and knock; if anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and will dine with him, and he with Me. He who overcomes, I will grant to him to sit down with Me on My throne, as I also overcame and sat down with My Father on His throne. He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.” (Re 3:14-21)   We can conclude that how to overcome is described in Revelation, but we can also conclude that an ignorance of the Torah will make our understanding only partial. Revelation is written as an incredibly intricate re-telling of the Torah portions. Without an understanding of those Torah portions, it will be difficult to be identified as one of those who overcome when they “keep the testimony of Yeshua and the commandments of God.”   If Yeshua knocks on the door of one of these potential overcomers, he knocks on a door that is marked by a mezuzah, which contains summaries of the commandments. To pull in the themes of our Salt Covenant study over the last several weeks, a mezuzah is a sign that those inside the house know to be salty within, tenderly and joyfully salting their commandment-keeping. Because they are pliable to the work of the Ruach HaKodesh within the house, they are ready to meet the challenges of the Beast outside the house.   The mezuzah is their reminder that they've committed their coming and going, especially their work and business dealings, to preserving their covenant with the Father with salt, for savory salt is our faith, the tenderness we have toward His Word. It is our desire to draw close to Him through our sacrifices, not begrudgingly or to be admired by others, but to give glory to the Father. Yeshua reminds us that he also wants to draw near to our salty selves, so he stands at the door and knocks.   Just imagine that the mezuzah on your door was Yeshua standing there each day inquiring if he may accompany you in your coming and going.   Because he is. The custom is to touch one's fingers to the mezuzah and kiss the fingers. It demonstrates affection and tenderness toward the Shma and other scriptures in the mezuzah, which remind us in our coming and going Who the only Source of wealth is. The name Shaddai is inscribed on mezuzot, which is the name describing His attribute of nourishment and supply.   By touching the mezuzah, we also are reminded like the Israelites in Deuteronomy Eight: “Otherwise, you may say in your heart, ‘My power and the strength of my hand made me this wealth.' But you shall remember the LORD your God, for it is He who is giving you power to make wealth, that He may confirm His covenant which He swore to your fathers...”   The mezuzah on the door marks the boundary between what happens when we go into the world and how we are inside our homes. If we are at war inside our homes, then how will we war against the principalities and powers outside our homes? The shin on the tefillin reminds the person Who opens the Heavenly windows to drip down zuzim, or coins, transactions, in our lives. Zuz is found in the word mezuzah, but the letter shin is found on both the mezuzah and the prayer tefillin.   Because they are worn in prayer, it helps one to adjust those trade prayers according to Yeshua's model…daily bread…forgiveness…holiness…His will and glory on earth…protection from temptation to sin. Ever notice how many famous actors, musicians, and sports stars end up unhappy, addicted, disconnected from the real world, and just plain weird? We are not spiritually wired to receive the glory of Heaven, only to reflect the glory of Heaven outward with salt. Of course they get weird and depressed!   Our labor and business dealings outside the home must be salted and lit from within first. We must extend ourselves from within, or it will eventually be evident to the world that we did not exert ourselves according to our wealth of salvation and light.nIt is thought that the marks of tzaraat (leprosy) that appeared in a home were a result of greed and stinginess. When the priests removed everything inside to the outside to quarantine and scrape the stones, everyone would see the wealth concealed inside, especially if they'd pretended not to have enough to help the needy brother. The “best third” is where the mezuzah is placed on a door, the upper third, like an upper room. The mezuzah marks the right hand frame of the door about 2/3 of the way up: “Mezuzah guards the Covenant, and so observing the mitzvah of mezuzah leads a person to truth and faith, the faith which is absolutely necessary when conducting business.”    “And I will bring the third part through the fire, Refine them as silver is refined, And test them as gold is tested. They will call on My name, And I will answer them; I will say, ‘They are My people,' And they will say, ‘The LORD is my God.'” (Zec 13:9)   Yeshua invokes this prophecy in Zechariah when he warns the Laodiceans in Revelation Three that he is standing at the door knocking: “Because you say, “I am rich, and have become wealthy, and have need of nothing,” and you do not know that you are wretched and miserable and poor and blind and naked, I advise you to buy from Me gold refined by fire so that you may become rich…”   This is where we see another connection to the mezuzah. Zechariah prophesies of the “third part.” This is thought to be the remnant that will come through the tribulation refined by fire instead of destroyed by it. They have not succumbed to the Beast's commercial activity, buying and selling excessively or on Shabbat (see CG Workbook Four or Workbook Two). Traditionally, the mezuzah is affixed at a pointing on the right side of the door 2/3 of the way up the door. To relate the thirds, the mezuzah is like the principle of the “upper room” we've studied over the last several weeks.    Ancient Israelite houses typically had two levels, a ground level where beasts were stabled and practical household work such as cooking and weaving took place, but the family quarters were on the second floor. An extra upper room had to be built either on the second floor or atop the family quarters, making it an upper third. More simply, an upper room was where the family made space for visitors, a space that wasn't there, yet they created the space through hospitality.   Those upper rooms in Scripture were places associated with hospitality toward the righteous visitor as well as resurrection from the dead, like the stories of Elijah, Elisha, Dorcas, and Eutychus. A mezuzah reminds us not to neglect making those spaces of hospitality for the righteous visitor, who represents hospitality toward Yeshua and the Living Word. Yeshua's noisy knocking on the door is a daily reminder that when we make an “upper room” of hospitality, then we are actually tapping into the Garden of Eden. The resurrections in the upper rooms of Scripture show us this.    On the mezuzah is either the Name Shaddai, or it is in the shorthand of the first Hebrew letter shin. Not so coincidentally, the tefillin that are placed on an Israelite male's forehead and arm are also marked with a shin (see above). The mezuzah and tefillin remind each day:   • Hear, O Israel! The LORD our God, the LORD is one! And you shall love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your might. And these words, which I am commanding you today, shall be on your heart; and you shall teach them diligently to your sons and shall talk of them when you sit in your house and when you walk by the way and when you lie down and when you rise up. And you shall bind them as a sign on your hand and they shall be as frontals on your forehead. And you shall write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates. (Dt 6:4-9)    Deuteronomy 8:11-19 reminds Israel not to be deceived when they become comfortable and prosperous in the Land, for their wealth will deceive them into thinking they earned it with their own hand. Remember the gumballs?   The tefillin on the hand and arm are a reminder that it is YHVH alone who gives the power to acquire wealth. Likewise, the mezuzah is marked with a shin for Shaddai, the One who provides sustenance, nourishment to Israel. Strangely, the shin is made of three Hebrew letters vav joined at the bottom. The gematria value of vav is six. 666.    Whaaaaat? Yes, it's the mark of the beast. But that's not the whole story. The mezuzah and tefillin are NOT the mark of the beast. The mark of the beast is when you get very close to being a salt covenant household or person, yet you have something lacking. Salt. Your daily work is not to acquire the wealth of the Kingdom to the glory of the Father, which can only be done through the power of the Ruach HaKodesh moving through the Word in you. The mark of the beast is when our daily work is to acquire the object of desire for our own sake. We can hear the disingenuous, unsalty believer when he says, “If God will just let me win the lottery, I'll build orphanages and feed the poor all over the world.”   And he probably will. But he will do it only in order to feed his own desires first. He's not really seeking first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness. He's pursuing his own kingdom, offering God a deal that the Kingdom of Heaven will benefit from the scraps. Such a person will not give commensurately with his newfound wealth, for he is stingy at heart. Unsavory salt. Tepid. Lukewarm. Blechhhh!   The secret of the 666 is that it is only the letter of the Torah without the Ruach. The shin is like a menorah when the backlight of the Ruach shines through it (again, see Workbooks 2 & 4). Remember last week's lesson on the gumball machine? It was what you couldn't see that had to occur before what you could see. The Ruach precedes the letter of the Torah. Together, with the spiritual backlight through the literal three vavs, it yields seven, the seven- branched menorah. One tefillin has three vavs, but its mate has four! 3 + 4 = 7. Compare to the above: To be unsalty is 666. To be salty is to shine the seven spirits of Adonai described in Isaiah and Revelation:     •  wisdom   •  understanding   •  counsel   •  Spirit of Adonai   •  power   •  knowledge   •  reverence    Yeshua, the Living Word, is the doorkeeper of the overcoming household. We never want to reduce him to someone there to reward us with wealth. The word mezuzah comes from a Hebrew word meaning movement, going back and forth. The historical zuz was a coin, about a day's sustenance for one adult:   • Weight: About 4.26 grams (0.137 troy ounces) of silver. • Value: Historically equivalent to a day's wage or a portion of food/clothing, (e.g., 200 zuz was a year's support).  • Modern value would be about $20.   "Give us today our daily bread." Not the lottery.   Not so coincidentally, a mezuzah means more than movement. It is rooted as well in the movement of a beast: What starts out as a beautiful creation of spirit (upper room), soul and body (lower rooms), can degenerate into the mark of the beast. Instead of letting the Ruach drip into our lower rooms of work and family, the upper room is sealed off because of our stinginess and greed. Esau and Jacob had very different motives in asking for blessings. We can become unsavory, relentless hunters like Esau, the Red One, nicknamed Edom because he was red and hairy all over like a beast, a man of the field who loved hunting. We don't want to become marked by the Red One, never satisfied, even on Shabbat.   “…and he provides that no one will be able to buy or to sell except the one who has the mark, either the name of the beast or the number of his name.” (Re 13:17)   Nehemiah's struggles with those returning to rebuild Jerusalem and the Temple, especially in their continued buying and selling on Shabbat, are the reference point. He eventually had to order the gates of Jerusalem shut and locked to prevent the vendors from coming in with their goods. How glorious will it be when the gates no longer need to be shut, for no one will even entertain the idea of disobeying the King of King's command to rest and be with Him in Jerusalem on Shabbat.   Knock, knock.   In short, the mark of the beast is on one who buys and sells on Shabbat. Because there is no trust in Adonai to provide the many things we crave, we continue to work on His holy day. Someone who believes in God may have salt, but it is not savory. One who believes in God enough to do what He says is savory salt. Salt allows us to draw near the upper room of the Garden. I'm sure Yeshua is having wonderful conversations with the righteous souls of those who just didn't understand Shabbat, but they were faithful in what they knew. They are learning while they wait, not rebelling.   Ezekiel describes what went wrong in the “upper room” of the Garden of Eden, a hospitable place for those who want to draw near to the voice of Elohim, but a place from which rebels are purged. The “trader” was cast out of the heavenly fiery stones and tossed into the lower realms of strange, profane fire, that is, fire used by those estranged from the upper room fires of the Ruach above:   You were in Eden, the garden of God; Every precious stone was your covering: The sardius, topaz, and diamond, beryl, onyx, and jasper, Sapphire, turquoise, and emerald with gold. The workmanship of your timbrels and pipes Was prepared for you on the day you were created. You were the anointed cherub who covers; I established you; You were on the holy mountain of God; You walked back and forth in the midst of fiery stones. You were perfect in your ways from the day you were created, Till iniquity was found in you. By the abundance of your trading You became filled with violence within, and you sinned; Therefore I cast you as a profane thing out of the mountain of God; And I destroyed you, O covering cherub, from the midst of the fiery stones. (Eze 28:13-16; 18)   Ezekiel 28 drops a hint to where we should be vigilant: “By the abundance of your trading [H7404 rekula] you became filled with violence within, and you sinned...”   ????? rawkal' [H7402] to travel for trading   Our trade is part of work for our living, yet, the abundance is the danger zone. If our inner fire craves more wealth than we are willing to give back to Heaven commensurately, our going back and forth, zuzing about, to trade our time and effort for goods, power, and esteem becomes idolatry. In Hebrew, moving back and forth is zuz [zuz is also a coin], the root of mezuzah. The mezuzah marks the door where we travel back and forth each day to obtain our portion of wealth.   When our pursuit of wages and wealth pushes the testimony of Yeshua and the commandments of God beneath our feet instead of allowing them to drip daily from the upper room of the resurrection Ruach that raised Messiah from the dead, we sin. Our house's upper room should be designed to drip to lower floors of daily living, or we become unsavory salt.   We trade our precious lives, our time, our effort, to accumulate an abundance of things, not necessarily money, but what money will purchase: entertainment, security, comfort, esteem, power, knowledge, appeasement, etc. These things deceive us into believing they will bring joy and peace, but we know it's a lie because they never do. They are simply offered to the strange, consuming fire of the soul, but are not refinement of the spirit, which is everlasting peace and joy. It brings savory salt, light, and contentment from within.    The ancient investment advice is:   • Invest 1/3 of your income in tangible property such as real estate, durable goods, secure long-term investments  • Invest 1/3 in your daily labor, your paycheck, investments that provide a faster return, a little riskier, easily liquidated • Invest 1/3 above the mezuzah in the Kingdom of Heaven by lending to the poor, giving to needy, investing time in spiritual causes along with Torah study, prayer, service, discussing Scripture with others, etc. Even kindness is an investment!   We should not become “stingy” with Heavenly principles in the world of work, which would reflect a home's lower rooms sealed off from the upper room. The upper room should drip the testimony of Yeshua and the noisy commandments of God through the power of the resurrection Ruach. It leaks into the lower rooms of family and work!   The leaky roof is what we need to carry into the world of work and business as well as our relationships. An outwardly successful business producing wealth that can only be spent before the resurrection of the dead is not successful at all.    Preparation in the home under the disciplines of the Ruach HaKodesh will be evident in the place of business, not as a pile of 666 cash, but as peace in drawing near the Father, salt. The physical work is simply a means of building the Kingdom instead of demanding that the Father bless our work to build our own kingdoms of security, esteem, attention, comfort, intellectual stimulation, etc. Whether we have little or many zuzim, all we need to remember is that we must give commensurately with the wealth the Father drips down upon us.    If we can be responsible even with earthly money, which has no righteousness within itself, then we can be responsible with Heavenly riches.   If we can't be trusted to give commensurately with our wealth when there is no Temple service, and much freedom is granted in when and how much we give, then how can the Father trust us with His riches when the Temple on “the mountain of God” descends? The Temple services and the Land of Israel are places of extreme exactness in managing work and wealth.   Manage earthly zuzim faithfully, and we will inherit the Heavenly riches to manage.    One of my favorite movies is about a Quaker family, from the book Friendly Persuasion. One of the funniest lines is, “Friend, thee's got a squeaky door upstairs.”    Friend, thee's got a squeaky door downstairs, too. Yeshua is knocking, reminding, inquiring, requesting if we will open to his voice. It is the same voice of Elohim that walked and talked in the Garden, an upper room.   When we open our doors to him, we release the water of the Word from our upper rooms and let it fill our homes, workplaces, and relationships.

Bread. How did something so basic, so fundamental, get so complicated – and even start making us ill? >> This series was first released in Nov/Dec 2019. We are re-releasing it now 6 years later as we are digging back in to document the collective impact of the series and to celebrate the work of those continuing to build the new grains movement. As part of this project we are collecting voice notes from anyone who listened, inviting you to share a bit of how Cereal impacted you and whether the series sparked any change or action, big or small - maybe it made you think differently about something, or maybe you completely changed career - we want to hear both and all stories! The voice notes will form part of a new Farmerama episode and digital soundmap. We are collecting these stories now, so if you would like to send your story our way, then you can send us an audio message on: WhatsApp +447466301300, or via our instagram messages. Please let us know who you are, where you are based and then whatever part of your story you would like to share. We are excited to hear from you and hope you enjoy listening again, or for the first time, it is a treat! >> How have the needs of industrial production come to dictate the way that seeds are bred, grain is grown, flour is milled, and bread is baked and eaten? And why are more and more people cutting this age-old staple out of their diets? In this episode, we hear from bakers and researchers who reveal the hidden truths about what goes into our bread, and explain how that's impacting our health. And we're introduced to the Real Bread Campaign, a movement promoting bread that's nourishing, tasty and environmentally sound. The radical changes that our bread has undergone are revealing of much wider truths about our relationships with food, farmers, the land, the environment, and each other. If you eat food, you have a stake in this story. This if the first episode in a 6 part series, Cereal, uncovering the hidden truths behind our bread and the people who are building a new grains movement. Cereal is made possible by the generous support of the Roddick Foundation. This episode features: Chris MacCormack, a home baker (Govanhill Bread Man) Kimberley Bell, founder of Small Food Bakery, Nottingham Chelsea Marshall, Trustee of Scotland the Bread Andrew Whitley, Bread Matters, co-founder of the Real Bread Campaign, and Scotland the Bread Theo Laffargue, Riverside Bakery, Stirling

This Sunday we continued in our series through Luke's Gospel as Pastor Alex delivered a sermon centered on Luke 2:21-52. In his sermon, Pastor Alex explained how Christ's two natures, his divine nature and his human nature, often referred to as the Hypostatic Union, serve as one of the core doctrines of the Christian faith.
