When the World Shakes, Look Up In this grounding and timely message, Pastor Rhonda Giles Davis addresses the heavy culture of anxiety, economic strain, and digital noise that characterizes modern life. Drawing from the calling of the Prophet Isaiah, she reminds the congregation that when earthly systems begin to crack, our response shouldn't be to panic, but to lift our gaze to the King who remains completely unshaken. Key Highlights The Low-Grade Anxiety of Our Day: Pastor Rhonda challenges the church to be vigilant about what they consume online. She warns against the "cannibalistic" culture of social media and AI-generated distractions designed to induce panic and tight chests, urging believers to limit exposure to things without godly intent. The "King Uzziah" Crisis: Isaiah's vision didn't happen during a time of peace; it happened "in the year that King Uzziah died." Uzziah had provided stability and prosperity for fifty-two years. His death threw the nation into panic. Pastor Rhonda notes that everyone faces a "King Uzziah moment"—the sudden loss of a job, a diagnosis, or a closed door that causes earthly foundations to shake. The Trap of Hedonic Adaptation: Humans naturally get used to amazing things over time, causing them to become routine. Pastor Rhonda warns against allowing our relationship with Jesus to fall into this routine, urging the church to return to the pure awe and amazement of their first love. The Breaking is Holy Ground: True encounters with God's holiness don't produce a shame that destroys us; instead, they produce a holy brokenness that opens us up. Real transformation requires moving past a polished religious exterior and being completely honest about our mess before the throne. Sustained from the Inside Out: God doesn't just create the universe; He actively sustains it. Pastor Rhonda points out that if God can naturally replace the seven octillion atoms in the human body without our effort, we can completely trust Him to sustain our families, our health, and our finances. Shifting Perspectives: Street Level vs. Throne Level Perspective The Street-Level View (Looking Down) The Throne-Level View (Looking Up) Focus Constantly staring at problems, scrolling through chaos, and rehearsing limitations. Beholding the Master, high and exalted, seated firmly on the throne. The Mind Fear tightens its grip; low-grade anxiety settles into a permanent residence. Faith builds up; earthly troubles begin to grow strangely dim. The Cry "Woe is me! I am ruined and completely unqualified." "Here am I, Lord! Your grace has atoned for my past—send me." Outcome Emotional exhaustion and a fixed mindset of defeat. Spiritual recalibration and a fresh, active "yes" to your calling. Core Message: Your Perspective Dictates Your Peace The central premise of the sermon rests on a foundational truth: where you look determines what you see, and what you see determines how you live. If you can see God completely sovereign above your storm, you can easily survive the waves beneath it. "God isn't looking for people who have figured out how to make the world stop shaking, because you're not gonna do it. He's looking for people who will see Him clear enough and say, 'The shaking in my world does not determine my yes.'" Scriptural Foundation Colossians 1:16-17: All things were created through Him and for Him; He is before all things, and in Him, all things consist. Isaiah 6:1-8: Isaiah's majestic vision of the Lord seated on the throne, surrounded by the seraphim crying, "Holy, holy, holy." Psalm 139: A reminder that we are fearfully and wonderfully knit together by God. Luke 12:27: Jesus' teaching to consider the lilies of the field and abandon toxic worry. Action Steps for the Week Silence Your Mouth, Guard Your Clicks: Step back from online arguments, negative commentary, and profit-driven clickbait that feeds your anxiety. X-Out the Dragons: Like master mariner Sir John Franklin, look at the maps of your past trauma and write "Here Be God" right over the spaces where the enemy tried to plant demons and dragons. Attend Consecration Service: Use the upcoming Wednesday night service to lay down your performance, stop pretending you are okay, and let the fire of God's grace touch your wounds. Would you like me to help you create a specific scriptural reading plan focused on the sovereignty and peace of God to ground you when daily life starts to feel overwhelming? "Thanks for listening!

This replay of episode 35 includes new updates! A 2026 research study has positively identified remains of four men from the Franklin Expedition using DNA analysis. Also, updates about what has been found at the wrecks of HMS Terror and HMS Erebus. The Franklin Expedition of 1845 was a British voyage led by Sir John Franklin in an attempt to navigate the Northwest Passage, a coveted sea route through the Arctic. Comprising two ships, the HMS Erebus and HMS Terror, the expedition aimed to explore uncharted territories but tragically ended in disaster. The ships became trapped in ice off King William Island, and all the crew members perished. Despite numerous search missions, the fate of the expedition remained a mystery for over 150 years until the wrecks of the Erebus and Terror were discovered in 2014 and 2016 respectively, shedding light on the hardships faced by the crew, including exposure, starvation, and lead poisoning from poorly preserved food cans, contributing to their demise.

Episode Three traces how a single piece of furniture became a symbol of catastrophe, courtesy, and fragile diplomacy. Starting with the disappearance of Sir John Franklin and the brutal reality of 19th-century Arctic exploration, the episode follows the searches that led to HMS Resolute and explains how timber from that ship was later transformed into the famous Resolute Desk gifted by Queen Victoria to a wary United States. Along the way it explores the tense U.S.–British relationship of the era, the national pride and peril wrapped up in polar voyages, and how an unexpected act of respect turned a ship's remains into a lasting presidential icon — with Part Two promising the story's conclusion.

It separates Somerset Island on the east from Prince of Wales Island on the west. To the north it opens onto Parry Channel while its southern end merges with Franklin Strait.There are several named islands within the sound, including: Lock, Vivian, Prescott, Pandora, Otrick, Barth, De la Roquette, and Gibson.Sir John Franklin passed through the strait in 1846 during an unseasonably warm summer, since typically Peel Sound is frozen. Its east side was traced by James Clark Ross in 1849. In 1858 Francis Leopold McClintock tried to penetrate it and was blocked by ice.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 00:16 UTC on Sunday, 1 March 2026.For the full current version of the article, see Peel Sound on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Bluesky at @wikioftheday.com.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm standard Kendra.

In 1845, Sir John Franklin and 129 men sailed into the Arctic chasing the Northwest Passage—and vanished into a white maze of ice, darkness, and slow collapse. This episode follows the chilling, evidence-anchored timeline of the Lost Franklin Expedition, from the first quiet graves at Beechey Island to the brutal trap of Victoria Strait, where the ice held two war-built ships like insects in amber: HMS Erebus and HMS Terror.We trace the expedition's last clear message—the Victory Point note—and the desperate decision to abandon shelter and march south across a landscape that doesn't care about courage. Along the way: the long-dismissed Inuit testimony that kept pointing searchers toward the truth… and the grim archaeological signs of starvation, scurvy, and the terrifying edge where survival turns into taboo.Then, nearly two centuries later, the Arctic finally gives something back: the discovery of the wrecks of HMS Erebus (2014) and HMS Terror (2016)—preserved in black water like a paused nightmare, raising haunting questions about what happened after the ships were left behind.Inside this episode:The obsession: why Britain needed the Northwest Passage badly enough to gamble livesThe trap: how the ice sealed Erebus and Terror near King William IslandThe turning point: the Victory Point note and Franklin's death (June 1847)The march south: what Inuit witnesses reported—and why it was dismissed for decadesThe forensic truths: lead, scurvy, starvation, and evidence of desperate measuresThe wrecks found: how modern search teams combined tech with Inuit knowledge to locate the shipsSome mysteries aren't solved all at once—they're uncovered in scraps, bones, and cold, reluctant proof. And in the Franklin case, the scariest part is that you don't need a monster. The ice is enough. We're telling that story tonight.

Hubert Sagnières studies, collects, and publishes works on early explorers and has himself completed numerous explorations: In 2024, he piloted a single-engine plane on a circumnavigation of the globe, honoring the centenary of the first around-the-world flight in 1924 by the Douglas “Chicago” aircraft. He has traveled in the Indonesian archipelago, visiting remote islands and has spent time with the Dayak tribes of Borneo and the Mentawai people of Siberut Island. He has completed over 20 expeditions to the Canadian Arctic, many in very harsh winter conditions and has explored many remote Arctic regions such as the shores of Baffin Island, Ellesmere Island, and Axel Heiberg Island. In this episode we discuss Hubert's latest book 'For Glory, Not Gold: Expeditions Through Arctic Lands 1818-1876', a remarkable volume which chronicles ten major Arctic expeditions undertaken between 1818 and 1875, following the bold journeys of explorers from the United States, England, Scotland, Ireland, and France. These seafaring pioneers ventured into the ice and the unknown in pursuit of the elusive Northwest Passage. Drawing from the original journals and travel narratives of figures such as Sir Edward Parry, Sir John Ross, Sir John Franklin, Joseph René Bellot, John Rae, Sir Francis Leopold McClintock, Elisha Kent Kane, Charles Francis Hall, and Sir George Nares—along with the legendary voyage of the HMS Investigator—the book offers an intimate, firsthand look at their extraordinary quests. It features illustrations, engravings, maps, and rare documents selected from the author's own collection of historic works. More than a record of exploration, this volume reminds us that beyond the commercial ambitions tied to northern trade routes, the Arctic and the North Pole have long stirred the human imagination—calling forth the daring nineteenth-century expeditions of explorers driven by an unquenchable urge to discover new worlds.

En 1845, dos de los barcos más avanzados tecnológicamente que el mundo había visto zarparon de Inglaterra. Se llamaban HMS Erebus y HMS Terror. Sus cascos estaban reforzados con placas de hierro, un avance revolucionario. Estaban equipados con motores de vapor auxiliares, calefacción central y una biblioteca con más de mil libros. Llevaban provisiones enlatadas para tres años, otra maravilla de la época. Su misión, bajo el mando del aclamado explorador Sir John Franklin, era conquistar el último gran premio de la geografía: el Paso del Noroeste. La confianza del Almirantazgo británico era absoluta. No se trataba de una expedición de riesgo, sino de una gloriosa formalidad. La tecnología, la experiencia y el capital del mayor imperio del mundo garantizaban el éxito. Los barcos navegaron hacia el Ártico y se desvanecieron para siempre. Nunca regresaron. Décadas más tarde, los restos de la expedición revelaron la horrible verdad. Los cascos reforzados fueron aplastados como cáscaras de huevo por la presión del permafrost, una fuerza de la naturaleza que sus ingenieros habían subestimado. Y las latas de comida, esa supuesta garantía de supervivencia, estaban mal selladas con plomo, envenenando lenta y sistemáticamente a la tripulación, nublando su juicio y llevándolos a la locura y al canibalismo. La tecnología que debía salvarlos fue, en realidad, el instrumento de su perdición. La historia financiera está llena de expediciones Franklin. Momentos en los que, armados con la tecnología más avanzada y una confianza inquebrantable, nos lanzamos a conquistar nuevos mundos, ciegos a los peligros fundamentales que nos rodean. Hoy, tenemos nuestros propios HMS Erebus y HMS Terror. Se llaman Inteligencia Artificial, Finanzas Cuantitativas y Disrupción Tecnológica.

Indigenous groups had been traversing the passage for centuries, using small skin boats and dog sleds, but from 1497, European expeditions were launched to find and claim it. Most of these ended in failure, with explorers either returning home empty-handed or not returning at all. Some even got completely lost, arriving in Hawaii or North Carolina rather than Canada!In 1845, the most famous Arctic expedition, led by Sir John Franklin, was launched. Within a few months, his two ships, the Erebus and the Terror, with their crew of 129 souls, had vanished. It was not until 1906 that a Norwegian team, led by Roald Amundsen, finally navigated the passage.

Back in 1845, Sir John Franklin set out with two ships, the HMS Erebus and the HMS Terror, to find the Northwest Passage. They vanished without a trace, sparking one of history's great maritime puzzles. For years, theories swirled, from scurvy to lead poisoning, but the truth remained elusive. It wasn't until recent expeditions and archaeological findings that we learned about the harsh Arctic conditions, lead contamination from canned food, and the desperate struggle for survival that likely led to their demise.

This episode explores the often fatal quest for the Northwest Passage, charting the various expeditions that tried and failed to find and traverse it, uncovering the men who lost their lives looking for it, and asking why Europeans were so keen to explore such a hostile region of the world. And we unravel the mystery of just what happened to John Franklin and his men out there on the ice.

Send us a textIn 1845, a crew of 134 men set out in search of the elusive Northwest Passage, hoping to find a shortcut between the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. Armed with thousands of canned goods, gallons of lemon juice and a passion for adventure, they set forth on the HMS Terror and Erebus, ready for a taste of glory. Instead, they found themselves stuck at sea for more than three years, their ships encased in thick, unforgiving ice. When it refused to thaw in 1848, the men abandoned ship and headed out on foot in the hopes they'd find help and a way home. And then... they seemingly disappeared. It would take years before any trace of the men was found, and what was discovered were simply sun bleached bones, scattered in the wind. Today, much of the failed Franklin expedition remains a mystery, but a few clues have been realized, painting a grisly picture for the crew who gave their lives in pursuit of discovery. We'll discuss possible theories, dive into AMC's miniseries "The Terror" and uncover the shocking details that make this 140-year-old mystery so haunting.

In the near future, a civil servant is offered the salary of her dreams and is, shortly afterward, told what project she'll be working on. A recently established government ministry is gathering "expats" from across history to establish whether time travel is feasible--for the body, but also for the fabric of space-time. She is tasked with working as a "bridge" living with, assisting, and monitoring the expat known as "1847" or Commander Graham Gore. As far as history is concerned, Commander Gore died on Sir John Franklin's doomed 1845 expedition to the Arctic, so he's a little disoriented to be living with an unmarried woman who regularly shows her calves, surrounded by outlandish concepts such as "washing machines," "Spotify," and "the collapse of the British Empire." But with an appetite for discovery, a seven-a-day cigarette habit, and the support of a charming and chaotic cast of fellow expats, he soon adjusts. Over the next year, what the bridge initially thought would be, at best, a horrifically uncomfortable roommate dynamic, evolves into something much deeper. By the time the true shape of the Ministry's project comes to light, the bridge has fallen haphazardly, fervently in love, with consequences she never could have imagined. Forced to confront the choices that brought them together, the bridge must finally reckon with how--and whether she believes--what she does next can change the future. An exquisitely original and feverishly fun fusion of genres and ideas, The Ministry of Time (Avid Reader Press, 2024) asks: What does it mean to defy history, when history is living in your house?

The Ministry of Time by Kaliane Bradley  In the near future, a civil servant is offered the salary of her dreams and is, shortly afterward, told what project she'll be working on. A recently established government ministry is gathering “expats” from across history to establish whether time travel is feasible—for the body, but also for the fabric of space-time.  She is tasked with working as a “bridge”: living with, assisting, and monitoring the expat known as “1847” or Commander Graham Gore. As far as history is concerned, Commander Gore died on Sir John Franklin's doomed 1845 expedition to the Arctic, so he's a little disoriented to be living with an unmarried woman who regularly shows her calves, surrounded by outlandish concepts such as “washing machine,” “Spotify,” and “the collapse of the British Empire.” But he adjusts quickly; he is, after all, an explorer by trade. Soon, what the bridge initially thought would be, at best, a seriously uncomfortable housemate dynamic, evolves into something much more. Over the course of an unprecedented year, Gore and the bridge fall haphazardly, fervently in love, with consequences they never could have imagined.  Supported by a chaotic and charming cast of characters—including a 17th-century cinephile who can't get enough of Tinder, a painfully shy World War I captain, and a former spy with an ever-changing series of cosmetic surgery alterations and a belligerent attitude to HR—the bridge will be forced to confront the past that shaped her choices, and the choices that will shape the future.    The Coast Road by Alan Murrin  Set in 1994, The Coast Road tells the story of two women—Izzy Keaveney, a housewife, and Colette Crowley, a poet. Colette has left her husband and sons for a married man in Dublin. When she returns to her home in County Donegal to try to pick up the pieces of her old life, her husband, Shaun, a successful businessman, denies her access to her children.  The only way she can see them is with the help of neighbour Izzy, acting as a go-between. Izzy also feels caught in a troubled marriage. The friendship that develops between them will ultimately lead to tragedy for one, and freedom for the other.    LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In 1845 an expedition led by Sir John Franklin vanished in the Canadian Arctic. The enduring obsession with the Franklin mystery, and in particular Inuit information about its fate, is partly due to the ways in which information was circulated in these imperial spaces. Arctic Circles and Imperial Knowledge: The Franklin Family, Indigenous Intermediaries, and the Politics of Truth (Bloomsbury, 2024) by Dr. Annaliese Jacobs Claydon examines how the Franklins and other explorer families engaged in science, exploration and the exchange of information in the early to mid-19th century. It follows the Franklins from the Arctic to Van Diemen's Land, charting how they worked with intermediaries, imperial humanitarians and scientists, and shows how they used these experiences to claim a moral right to information. Arctic Circles and Imperial Knowledge shows how the indigenous peoples, translators, fur traders, whalers, convicts and sailors who explorer families relied upon for information were both indispensable and inconvenient to the Franklins. It reveals a deep entanglement of polar expedition with British imperialism, and shows how geographical knowledge intertwined with convict policy, humanitarianism, genocide and authority. In these imperial spaces families such as the Franklins negotiated their tenuous authority over knowledge to engage with the politics of truth and question the credibility and trustworthiness of those they sought to silence.

In 1845 an expedition led by Sir John Franklin vanished in the Canadian Arctic. The enduring obsession with the Franklin mystery, and in particular Inuit information about its fate, is partly due to the ways in which information was circulated in these imperial spaces. Arctic Circles and Imperial Knowledge: The Franklin Family, Indigenous Intermediaries, and the Politics of Truth (Bloomsbury, 2024) by Dr. Annaliese Jacobs Claydon examines how the Franklins and other explorer families engaged in science, exploration and the exchange of information in the early to mid-19th century. It follows the Franklins from the Arctic to Van Diemen's Land, charting how they worked with intermediaries, imperial humanitarians and scientists, and shows how they used these experiences to claim a moral right to information. Arctic Circles and Imperial Knowledge shows how the indigenous peoples, translators, fur traders, whalers, convicts and sailors who explorer families relied upon for information were both indispensable and inconvenient to the Franklins. It reveals a deep entanglement of polar expedition with British imperialism, and shows how geographical knowledge intertwined with convict policy, humanitarianism, genocide and authority. In these imperial spaces families such as the Franklins negotiated their tenuous authority over knowledge to engage with the politics of truth and question the credibility and trustworthiness of those they sought to silence. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose forthcoming book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

Back in 1845, Sir John Franklin set out with two ships, the HMS Erebus and the HMS Terror, to find the Northwest Passage. They vanished without a trace, sparking one of history's great maritime puzzles. For years, theories swirled, from scurvy to lead poisoning, but the truth remained elusive. It wasn't until recent expeditions and archaeological findings that we learned about the harsh Arctic conditions, lead contamination from canned food, and the desperate struggle for survival that likely led to their demise. It's a sobering reminder of the perils faced by explorers in uncharted territories. #brightside Animation is created by Bright Side. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Music by Epidemic Sound https://www.epidemicsound.com Check our Bright Side podcast on Spotify and leave a positive review! https://open.spotify.com/show/0hUkPxD...

The ships became trapped in ice off King William Island, and all 129 crew members perished. Despite numerous search missions, the fate of the expedition remained a mystery for over 150 years until the wrecks of the Erebus and Terror were discovered in 2014 and 2016 respectively, shedding light on the hardships faced by the crew, including exposure, starvation, and lead poisoning from poorly preserved food cans, contributing to their demise.For show notes and photo gallery, please visit shipwrecksandseadogs.com.Shipwrecks and Sea Dogs merchandise is now available!

In this podcast episode, Greg Marchildon talks to Ken McGoogan about his book, Searching for Franklin: New Answers to the Great Arctic Mystery, published by Douglas & McIntyre in 2023. Arctic historian Ken McGoogan approaches the legacy of nineteenth-century Arctic explorer Sir John Franklin from a contemporary perspective. Franklin's expeditions were monumental failures, yet, many still see the Royal Navy man as a heroic figure who sacrificed himself to discover the Northwest Passage. This book challenges that vision as it interweaves two main narratives. The first treats the Royal Navy's Arctic Overland Expedition of 1819, a harbinger-misadventure during which Franklin rejected lost eleven of his twenty-one men to exhaustion, starvation, and murder. The second discovers a startling new answer to that greatest of Arctic mysteries: what was the root cause of the catastrophe that engulfed Franklin's last expedition in 1845? Drawing on his own research and Inuit oral accounts, McGoogan teases out intriguing aspects of Franklin's expeditions, including the explorer's lethal hubris in ignoring the expert advice of the Dene leader Akaitcho. McGoogan will captivate readers with his first-hand account of travelling to relevant locations, visiting the graves of dead sailors and experiencing the Arctic—one of the most dramatic and challenging landscapes on the planet. Ken McGoogan is a globe-trotting, history-hunting storyteller who has published fifteen books – mostly nonfiction narratives, but also novels and memoirs. His best-selling titles include Dead Reckoning, Celtic Lightning, Fatal Passage, 50 Canadians Who Changed the World, Lady Franklin's Revenge, and Flight of the Highlanders.

For centuries, the Northwest Passage, the long-sought sea route connecting the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans through northern Canada, was a holy grail of Arctic exploration. Even now, sailing through it isn't guaranteed. Mark Synnott, a National Geographic Explorer, writer, and adventurer, attempted to sail his own boat through the Northwest Passage to retrace the doomed 1845 expedition of British explorer Sir John Franklin. None of the Franklin expedition's 129 men made it home, but what exactly happened remains a mystery.   For more information on this episode, visit natgeo.com/overheard. Want more?

Their mission was to bridge the gap on British maps, and complete the Northwest passage.

Standing on Beechey island, a peninsula off Devon Island in the Canadian Arctic, are four lonely graves: three members of an ill-fated expedition to the Northwest Passage, and one of the men who went looking for them. In 1845, Sir John Franklin led an expedition to find the Northwest Passage, a direct route from the Atlantic Ocean to the Pacific Ocean across the arctic, on two ships that were called "unstoppable" at the time. They were stopped, though the exact circumstances remain murky.The story of the graves is chronicled on the Atlas Obscura Podcast, a short, daily celebration of the world's strange and wondrous places.
