Faith is like muscle tissue: if you stress it to the limit, it gets stronger, not weaker. When your faith is tested, the result is greater capacity to endure.

In a world marked by trauma, injustice, and fear, David shows us how to worship with a wounded heart and how to trust God's justice even when it feels delayed.In this episode of Counseling Through the Psalms, James Long, Jr. walks us through the tension between lament and praise, helping us rediscover the courage to rejoice when life feels anything but safe. Whether you are struggling with personal wounds, broken systems, or unanswered prayers for justice, this psalm is a healing guide for the soul.Key TakeawaysPraise can be a protest. Worship is not limited to times of victory—it's a declaration of trust even in trouble.God's justice is sure, even when it is not immediate.God sees and remembers the cries of the oppressed. Nothing is overlooked.God is both righteous judge and personal refuge. He sits enthroned and He draws near.When systems fail, God does not.

My guest today, Steve Durbin, shares why empathy, agility, and resilience are vital to managing risk and keeping your organization secure. Steve shares the biggest threats to organizations right now and how empathetic leaders foster the resiliency needed to adapt. We discuss how CISO's and risk officers can create an empathetic culture where trust and transparency flow to help protect the organization. Steve shares how letting go of control can keep you safer, and how curiosity and listening help you communicate in ways people understand. He candidly shares that CEOs who don't understand empathy are a risk. And finally, Steve offers ways to balance a culture of experimentation and empowerment with effective risk management. To access the episode transcript, please scroll down below.Key Takeaways:When assessing risk, people are your greatest risk, but they are also your greatest asset and your greatest opportunity for solutions. It is not the machine or the algorithm that will solve your risk problem; it is your people. You risk losing your best people if you're not willing to adapt to what needs to be done for the best of your organization, employees, clients, and other stakeholders.

"Walking with the Master" Series 2 Peter 1
It may surprise some folks, especially if you are hearing this for the first time, but the sacrament of Baptism is meant to strengthen our faith. One of the reasons we often miss this is because too often we think of baptism in terms of what we have done--repented of our sins, put our faith in Jesus. In this message, Pastor Rick Anderson explains that, baptism is really chiefly and principally about what God has done in Christ--and this is good news.

Jesus prepares the apostles for the conflict that they will experience in ministry, reminding us that in our real moments of conflict we turn to Christ for the strength we need. (Lectionary #389) July 14, 2025 - Cathedral Rectory - Superior, WI Fr. Andrew Ricci - www.studyprayserve.com
Brent prices strengthened last week despite ongoing geopolitical risks, as the IEA adjusted its 2025 and 2026 demand forecasts and highlighted a surplus in the market. Meanwhile, developments in US trade policy and a shift in Trump's stance on Russia add further complexity to the outlook for oil prices.

An episode from Cornerstone Baptist Church, a conservative, independent body of King James Bible believers located in Carthage, TN. What Cornerstone Baptist Church believes:The Bible says in 1 Peter 4:11, “If any man speak, let him speak as of the oracles of God; if any man minister, let him do it as of the ability which God giveth: that God in all things may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom be praise and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.” Our heart's desire is that God may be glorified in all things as we seek to minister to others. Cornerstone Baptist Church was started in 1991 by a group of people who wanted a church where the Bible was the final authority, not tradition or denomination. Since that time, God has blessed the effort of that initial group and the vision has been broadened and refined as the years have passed. As we have sought the leadership of the Holy Spirt and with a desire to “seek the old paths”. There are a few ministries which seem to be the “earmarks” of our church. First would be Bible preaching and teaching, in order to “perfect he saints”. We have also seen a great response to the challenge of World Missions as we continue to support more missionaries each year. One of our goals is to minister to the entire family and emphasize the importance of Bible based homes. This of course leads to a lot of training for the youth, and a particular emphasis on character. With these areas of emphasis, we also strive to exercise grace and allow the saints room and time to grow in the Lord. Christianity is not a Sunday religion It is not a performance. It is a relationship with Jesus Christ which matures with time and effort. Cornerstone Baptist Church is an independent, fundamental, mission-minded Baptist church that holds to the following: Salvation by grace through faith in Jesus Christ aloneThe King James Bible as the preserved word of God & our final authority The virgin birth of Jesus Christ The deity of Jesus Christ The pre-millennial return of Christ to this earth The eternal security of ever true born-again believer The gospel as the death, burial & resurrection of Jesus Christ We resist the contemporary music & mega-church philosophy Our first meeting was in a tent in 1991. We organized as a church in October of that year and have witnessed the merciful hand of God through these years as we have grown in Christ through old fashioned preaching, praying, singing and genuine concern for the saved and the lost alike.

12 core reasons why you can trust that the Bible is God'sWord to us. Do you know these 12? Memorize these because you can use them toshare the gospel with unbelievers and doubters. Reason #8 of 12.Here are bullet points on why it's powerful that there are over 20,000 archaeological discoveries supporting the Bible:Confirms historical accuracy: Archaeology verifies names, places, and events recorded in Scripture.Silences critics: Many who claimed the Bible was myth have been proven wrong by these finds.Validates real people and places: From ancient kings to everyday towns, archaeology supports their existence as described in the Bible.Supports eyewitness reliability: Shows that biblical authors were recording real history, not legends.Strengthens trust: Physical evidence backs up what the Bible has said all along, reinforcing its truth and reliability.Here are two powerful archaeological examples that silenced skeptics:The HittitesSkeptics once claimed the Hittites mentioned in the Old Testament were fictional, because there was no evidence they ever existed.In the early 1900s, archaeologists uncovered Hittite capital cities and thousands of Hittite records in modern-day Turkey, fully confirming their existence and advanced civilization — exactly as the Bible described.Pontius Pilate inscriptionSome scholars doubted whether Pontius Pilate, who sentenced Jesus to death, was a real historical figure.In 1961, archaeologists found a stone in Caesarea Maritima with an inscription naming Pontius Pilate as “Prefect of Judea,” confirming his historical existence just as recorded in the Gospels.

12 core reasons why you can trust that the Bible is God'sWord to us. Do you know these 12? Memorize these because you can use them toshare the gospel with unbelievers and doubters. Reason #6 of 12.here are bullet points on why the fulfillment of over 300 prophecies by Jesus is so powerful:Statistically impossible: The odds of one person fulfilling even a handful of specific ancient prophecies is astronomical, let alone 300+.Written centuries before: These prophecies were recorded hundreds of years before Jesus was born, proving they weren't staged after the fact.Details impossible to control: Many prophecies (like His birthplace, manner of death, betrayal price) were beyond Jesus's human control.Confirms divine plan: Shows God's sovereignty in orchestrating history to point to the Messiah.Strengthens faith: Fulfilling so many specific predictions validates that Jesus is truly the promised Savior.

The leadership feedback session that will change everything isn't just a catchy phrase; it's exactly what happened when I facilitated a Live 360 with my executive team. This week on Reflect Forward, I'm sharing how this real-time, face-to-face feedback session unlocked deeper trust, stronger alignment, and powerful personal growth for every leader in the room. We used the “Stop, Start, Continue” format in a private dinner setting—no anonymous surveys, no hiding behind emails. Just honest, structured, and kind feedback delivered live. Yes, it was uncomfortable. And yes—it was transformational. Mic Drop Moment: “Want a badass team? Give each other real feedback. Out loud. In front of each other. It's uncomfortable, yes—but it builds trust, deepens connection, and makes everyone better.” What Is a Live 360 Feedback Session? A Live 360 is a structured, in-person feedback format where team members give each other direct, specific feedback in real time. It's honest, raw, and deeply connecting. We used “Stop, Start, Continue” so everyone knew how to prepare, and how to deliver feedback that was kind, actionable, and constructive. Each team member received feedback silently, then reflected at the end. The results? Aligned insights, deeper emotional intelligence, and stronger leadership across the board. Why You Should Try It • Builds psychological safety and trust • Fosters self-awareness and emotional intelligence • Strengthens team alignment and mutual respect • Creates a culture of direct, kind communication • Promotes collective ownership of growth How to Structure It • Choose a relaxed, private setting (dinner worked great for us) • Use “Stop, Start, Continue” for safe, structured feedback • Each person listens silently, then reflects • Prepare your team in advance because mindset matters • Set clear ground rules: be kind, be specific, no interruptions What Not to Do • Don't be vague or personal • Don't weaponize your tone • Don't bring up old grievances • Don't rush—or try to “fix” people • Don't skip setting expectations and emotional guardrails When done right, a Live 360 becomes more than a feedback session—it becomes a defining moment for your team. Key Takeaways from This Episode 1. Live 360s create real trust and real growth—fast. 2. Structure feedback with Stop, Start, Continue to make it actionable. 3. Coach the right mindset before the session begins. 4. Set ground rules for safety, clarity, and confidentiality. 5. Be specific, kind, and direct—and never skip the follow-up.

The old cliché says, "Two's company, three's a crowd." That's really true when it comes to romance. Okay, guy meets girl, guy falls in love with girl, guy falls in love with another girl in addition to first girl. That's like putting a match in gasoline. That is a centuries-old formula for an explosion. It's the infamous love triangle! Soap operas thrive on them; marriages are destroyed by them. A love triangle is usually a prescription for broken hearts unless you have the kind of love triangle that keeps hearts from being broken. I'm Ron Hutchcraft and I want to have A Word With You today about "The Love Triangle That Strengthens a Marriage." Now, there's a formula in our word for today from the Word of God in Ecclesiastes 4. It's a formula for lasting bonds between people. I would call it the arithmetic of love. Here's what it says beginning at verse 9: "Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their work. If one falls down, his friend can help him up. But pity the man who falls and has no one to help him up. If two lie down together they will keep warm, but how can one keep warm alone? Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves. A cord of three strands is not quickly broken." That passage is a powerful statement about relationships, especially if you apply it to the ultimate relationship of marriage. It says two work together better than one, two walk together better than one, two stand together better than one, and then suddenly the number changes. Suddenly it's talking about three strands. Wait, I thought we were talking about two. Enter the love triangle: a husband, a wife, and a Savior. That's the kind of love triangle that avoids broken hearts. Ephesians 5:21 alludes to it when it says; speaking to husbands and wives, "Submit to one another out of reverence for Christ." It's the Jesus factor in a home. Now, the triangle is the strongest geometric figure there is, and a love triangle with Christ at the top is virtually indestructible. In other words, you've got the man and woman joined together by that line along the bottom, but they both have a line going up to Jesus at the top. That bond between the man and the woman will fray sometimes. There's interference, there's disappointment, there's disillusionment, there's hurt. But if both the man and woman are connected to Christ at the top of the triangle, that bond will hold them together when the bond of human compatibility is unraveling. The question is, "How much is Jesus Christ a real presence in your marriage?" Do you pray together about real life issues as if Jesus is right there with you? "Lord, we've got to talk to You about this together." Do you often ask together, "What would Jesus do?" Are you cultivating the habit of sharing what Christ has said to you from His Word that day with each other? Are you at church together? Do you get on your knees together and fight for your children? Before you get married, wait for someone who is joined to Jesus as you are, because it is worth the wait. And after you marry, practice His presence daily in your home. A love triangle with Jesus as that real third person is the strongest bond on earth.
The agricultural landscape is evolving rapidly, and artificial intelligence (AI) stands at the forefront of this transformation. Jacqui Fatka, farm supply and biofuels economist with CoBank, takes us on a comprehensive journey through AI's emerging role in agricultural retail and farm supply cooperatives.Far from threatening the traditional relationships between farmers and their trusted advisors, AI offers powerful tools to strengthen these connections. As Fatka explains, "That relationship is paramount. Farmers really depend on that trusted partner with those ag retailers." The technology enables agronomists to develop more precise prescriptions, capture critical field observations, and respond proactively to emerging threats – all while preserving the human touch that agriculture demands.The accessibility of AI continues to grow, with entry points spanning from simple front-office applications to sophisticated supply chain optimization. Microsoft Teams' Co-Pilot feature, for instance, can streamline communication and documentation, while more advanced implementations might connect divisions within organizations that previously operated in silos. Fatka emphasizes the importance of privacy considerations and finding partners who truly understand agriculture's unique challenges rather than generic AI providers promising unrealistic returns.Perhaps most significantly, AI offers a solution to one of agriculture's persistent challenges: preserving institutional knowledge when experienced staff members retire or change positions. By capturing detailed customer profiles and operational insights, AI systems create continuity that benefits both businesses and the farmers they serve, especially in today's tight labor market. As Fatka notes, "The relationships and how you really lean into knowing that producer, that grower, having it captured in an AI system, allows that easy transition." Discover how this powerful technology is reshaping agricultural service delivery while honoring the human connections that remain at the heart of farming communities.

Guest's Info Pam Lanhart is a mother of four, grandmother of eight, author of "Praying Our Loved One Home," and founder of Thrive Recovery Resources. After experiencing the emotional rollercoaster of loving a family member with substance use disorder and struggling to find trustworthy treatment centers and evidence-based resources, Pam turned her pain into purpose by founding Thrive in 2016. Having grown up in a home where both parents struggled with alcohol use disorder, Pam brings a unique perspective as both a child affected by addiction and a parent who navigated her son's substance use journey. Thrive recognizes that families are critical components to recovery, providing support and proven strategies to empower real change that moves both the loved one and the family toward wellness. Highlights The boundary secret that actually STRENGTHENS your relationship with your addicted child (when everyone else is telling you to "detach with love") The hidden childhood wounds driving your seemingly "rational" responses to your loved one's addiction (and why understanding this changes everything) The gut-wrenching "make it stop" behaviors most parents don't even realize they're doing – that silently feed the addiction cycle instead of breaking it The Irish wisdom that cuts through all the noise and finally explains what your loved one is REALLY seeking when they use The life-altering question that stopped Pam in her tracks: "You say you'd die for your kids, but will you LIVE for them?" (and why your answer matters more than you know) The "last text" principle that will forever change how you communicate with your struggling loved one (Pam shares the final message she sent her son before losing him) The doorway-opening phrases your loved one is already saying that you're missing – that could lead to real change if you knew how to respond Why treating an addict with dignity – especially when they're actively using – might be the most powerful gift you haven't given (yet) The compassion approach that replaces outdated "tough love" tactics (and actually works to rebuild what addiction has torn apart) The uncomfortable truth about why some recover and others don't (and the only guarantee you CAN count on regardless of outcome) Listen as Pam vulnerably shares how she navigated her son Jake's addiction journey – from his pills in a backpack at 13 to the grief of ultimately losing him too soon, yet finding meaning and purpose through it all. This conversation isn't just about addiction – it's about reclaiming your life while still fighting for theirs.

Your Hope-Filled Perspective with Dr. Michelle Bengtson podcast
Episode Summary: In this episode of Your Hope-Filled Perspective, author Rachel Wojo joins me to share how prayer sustains us through life’s hardest challenges. From heartbreaking loss to seasons of silence, Rachel opens up about the desperate prayers that carried her through—and the surprising power of just three simple words. You’ll be encouraged to let go of prayer perfectionism, lean into honest conversation with God, and discover hope that holds—even in the dark. Rachel shares the journey that inspired her book, Desperate Prayers: Embracing the Power of Prayer in Life’s Darkest Moments, and how the cries of biblical “desperados” mirror our own today. With vulnerability, she reflects on the grief of losing her daughter, Taylor, and the truth she had to whisper to her heart to keep going. If you've ever wondered how to pray when words fail, this conversation will remind you that God hears—even the smallest cries. Quotables from the episode: When I was a young adult, I grew up in a beautiful Christian home, went to Christian college, graduated, went on to teach in a Christian school, married a preacher boy, and so the white picket fence dream was just in sight. You know, I thought that I would be a pastor's wife and we would have a beautiful family and God would just use us to reach so many people across the world. And then I found out that my preacher husband was having an affair for four of the five years that we had been married. I discovered then that my special needs daughter who had been born during that time had more than just developmental delays, and her actual diagnosis was a rare metabolic disorder that would result in a lifespan of approximately 10 to 15 years is what they gave us at the time. And so your dreams just come crashing down with all of those dilemmas, and you wonder, "Is God real?" Desperate prayers became the cry of my heart early on. It would take a couple of decades. Taylor lived for 22 years. We had her much longer than the anticipated time, and my heart grew to just love the Lord so, so much and embrace His hope and His peace, His mercy and grace throughout Taylor's lifetime. God did give me an opportunity to remarry, and our beautiful redemption story includes five more children, so God has been gracious to us. But I know that when people are in hurting, dark situations like what I've just shared — whether it's divorce, disease, death, discouragement, depression, all of those big D words — they just bring us to a point of: do we trust God enough with how we're feeling to go to Him? Simple three-word prayers are powerful. They are powerful. We oftentimes feel like we have to have all the right words, and so we don't go to God in prayer because we can't even think of what we should say. Just boiling it down to simple three words — as I was walking through my daughter's suffering for so many years — I needed something I could remember. My brain fog was very prevalent during those years, and even afterwards, the grief caused that fog. I just needed some simple wording that I could hold on to. I realized that a conversation between God and me — it's just me and Him, right? It's just words between me and Him. So I simplified it: Address Him: "God" Add a verb for the need End with "me" Some of those very simple three-word prayers are: God hold me God heal me God revive me God show me God guide me Just asking Him to do what I couldn't do for myself. When we use the three-word prayer, we're admitting that He is God and we are not. We're not in control, as much as we want to be. And so those three-word prayers can really simplify our plan, our hearts, our minds, but they also can be deeply profound because God takes those words to His heart — and that's where His power steps in. Sometimes when I'm in those desperate seasons, I can have a really short memory of what God has already done in my life - which is why I'm so grateful for the Bible. Because even when I can't remember what God has done for me, we've got countless accounts of what God has done for other people. And in each chapter of Desperate Prayers, you focus on one Bible character that you call a desperado, and being from Texas, I love that. What do the desperate prayers of the Bible have in common with our prayers today? When I read those prayers, I get so excited because: They didn’t have their acts together — and neither do we have to. We all come to God in brokenness, in desperate need, in a state of destitution. I used to think that word "destitution" meant you had to physically have nothing, but there's spiritual destitution and emotional constitution and so many areas of our lives where we're just experiencing an emptiness, a void, and we need God. When I look at those Bible characters, I see men and women who recognized that looking up was the only way out. Whether the issue is infertility like Hannah, rejection like Hagar, or the many emotions David shares throughout the Psalms — no matter what the issue, we can take it to God. I take a lot of encouragement from those desperadoes. I had a little post-it note on my desk that said "Drop prayer perfectionism." It was a reminder that I don't have to have the words together. As an introverted person — an extroverted introvert — I can eventually articulate things, but my words often come out better on paper. That’s why I choose to prayer journal a lot. I'm so thankful that we don't have to have perfect words to go to God. He accepts them as they are. And when we don't have any words at all, that's when it’s amazing to see how He's already provided, even when we don't know what we need. Anyone who has lost a loved one — especially a child — knows this isn't the way God intended life to be lived. The very first parents, Adam and Eve, lost a child. And so I had to tell myself — probably the same thing Eve had to tell herself after Cain killed Abel: "I did not die when my son died. God has a plan for me." Those are the words I had to speak to myself: I did not die when my daughter died. God has a plan for me. It was a really difficult thing to tell myself. Because when you say that, you admit the truth: you would rather not live without your child. I appreciate so much that you say we need to speak truth to ourselves — even out loud. Because in times of greatest desperation, we're vulnerable to the enemy's lies. Speaking truth out loud: Reminds ourselves of the truth. Strengthens faith ("Faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God" — Romans 10:17). Places that stake in the sand so that the enemy knows: we're going to speak that truth, even when it's hard. You can say anything to the Lord — and it will be fine. It’s really a posture of turning your heart toward Him. Even just simply calling out the name Jesus is a prayer — and I have done that many times. If you have no words — if you can't figure out what to pray — then invite Jesus into the space where you are. He longs to be present with you. He is already there. By making that invitation, you ask for His supernatural strength, mercy, and grace to surround and comfort you. When we turn our hearts toward Him — that powerful posture of prayer yields the pathway to peace. Prayer is the channel that allows us to place our hope on Him — a place where hope is accepted, loved, honored, cherished — and it shifts our perspective. Because most of us need a perspective shift in order to experience peace. And that's what prayer does for us. God wants to do so much more than answer our prayers. He wants to be the answer to our prayers. Those are two totally different things. A lot of us want our prayers answered — and He is a prayer-answering God. I've seen miracles. I know you have too, Michelle. We've witnessed them. But more than answering, He wants to be the answer. When we rely on Him, our perspective changes —from the here and now to what matters for eternity. Friends, I hope you heard that: More than answering your prayers, God wants to be the answer for you. Scripture References: 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 encourages “Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.” Romans 8:26 encourages us “Likewise the Spirit helps us in our weakness. For we do not know what to pray for as we ought, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words.” Proverbs 3:5-6 “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.” Colossians 4:2 tells us how to handle life’s darkest seasons: “Continue steadfastly in prayer, being watchful in it with thanksgiving.” Recommended Resources: Desperate Prayers: Embracing the Power of Prayer in Life’s Darkest Moments by Rachel Wojo Sacred Scars: Resting in God’s Promise That Your Past Is Not Wasted by Dr. Michelle Bengtson The Hem of His Garment: Reaching Out To God When Pain Overwhelms by Dr. Michelle Bengtson, winner AWSA 2024 Golden Scroll Christian Living Book of the Year and the 2024 Christian Literary Awards Reader’s Choice Award in the Christian Living and Non-Fiction categories YouVersion 5-Day Devotional Reaching Out To God When Pain Overwhelms Today is Going to be a Good Day: 90 Promises from God to Start Your Day Off Right by Dr. Michelle Bengtson, AWSA Member of the Year, winner of the AWSA 2023 Inspirational Gift Book of the Year Award, the 2024 Christian Literary Awards Reader’s Choice Award in the Devotional category, the 2023 Christian Literary Awards Reader’s Choice Award in four categories, and the Christian Literary Awards Henri Award for Devotionals YouVersion Devotional, Today is Going to be a Good Day version 1 YouVersion Devotional, Today is Going to be a Good Day version 2 Revive & Thrive Women’s Online Conference Revive & Thrive Summit 2 Trusting God through Cancer Summit 1 Trusting God through Cancer Summit 2 Breaking Anxiety’s Grip: How to Reclaim the Peace God Promises by Dr. Michelle Bengtson, winner of the AWSA 2020 Best Christian Living Book First Place, the first place winner for the Best Christian Living Book, the 2020 Carolina Christian Writer’s Conference Contest winner for nonfiction, and winner of the 2021 Christian Literary Award’s Reader’s Choice Award in all four categories for which it was nominated (Non-Fiction Victorious Living, Christian Living Day By Day, Inspirational Breaking Free and Testimonial Justified by Grace categories.)

I am excited to have Leo Tonkin joining us today. Leo is a passionate advocate for Halotherapy. He believes the respiratory system is the key to longevity and quality of life because those who cannot breathe properly cannot live well. Even though we take around 20,000 breaths daily, we often take our breath for granted. Unfortunately, our respiratory system degenerates as we age, and the air quality around us keeps deteriorating. So if we fail to care for our lungs, we can lose the ability to sleep, work, and live well, and that's where Halotherapy, or salt therapy, can help us. Benefits of Salt Therapy: Clears mucus and reduces inflammation in the airways It is antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and anti-fungal Eases symptoms of asthma, bronchitis, COPD, and allergies Helps prevent and relieve colds, flu, and sinus infections Strengthens immune function, increases lung capacity, and improves breathing Promotes deep and restful sleep Safe for pets and people of all ages Leo Tonkin's Bio: Leo Tonkin has been a pioneer in many industries, and in 2012, he revolutionized the salt therapy industry with his innovative approach and tireless dedication to transforming the way people think about their skin, respiratory, and mental wellness. With a deep understanding of the science behind salt therapy and its benefits, Leo started SALT Chamber, the world's leading salt therapy design, equipment, and decor company. Over a decade ago, he created a global industry for providing a safe, drug-free, evidence-based modality that is ‘hacking' into our respiratory and skin systems to enhance performance and recovery while improving quality of life. In 2014, Leo was the Founding Chairman of the Salt Therapy Association, which now has over 3600+ members in 62 countries. Understanding that air quality and climate change are major contributors to our well-being, he launched the Respiratory Wellness Initiative for the Global Wellness Institute. He has a passion for making a difference in every breath we take, especially since being a Stage 4 cancer survivor. He lives in Delray Beach Florida, with his wife Lori. He has 4 grandchildren. In this episode: How Halotherapy originated and what it involves Why salt particles are effective for overcoming respiratory issues How does salt therapy work? How the halo generator functions in salt rooms The benefits of salt therapy for pets How salt therapy can help respiratory conditions like COPD, asthma, and cystic fibrosis When should salt therapy be avoided?

Sometimes God will strengthen your faith directly. But most of the time, he does so through another person.
Researchers built the largest 3D map of our universe yet. What they found supports the idea that dark energy could have evolved over time.One of the mysteries of the universe is why it expands at the rate that it does. Back in 1998, two teams of researchers observed that not only was the universe expanding, but that the rate of expansion was increasing. That observation was the basis for a concept now known as dark energy. In the years since, cosmologists have been trying to get a handle on better measurements of that effect, and hoping to figure out what dark energy actually might be.This week, researchers on a project called DESI, the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument, released results based on their first three years of data at an international physics conference. They found that it appears possible that dark energy—whatever it is—has changed over the lifetime of the universe. In other words, the so-called cosmological constant may not, in fact, be a constant. The data is not quite statistically significant yet, so researchers can't definitively say that this is true, which leaves many questions about the nature of dark energy still unresolved.Dr. Andrei Cuceu of the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and Dr. Adam Riess of Johns Hopkins University and the Space Telescope Science Institute join Host Flora Lichtman to talk about the new research, and what remains to be discovered in dark energy.Transcripts for each segment will be available after the show airs on sciencefriday.com.
