Send us a textThe summer sun beckons with its warm embrace, but that golden tan comes with a hidden cost. Dr. Holly Thacker dives deep into the phenomenon known as "tanorexia" – the addiction to tanning that has serious health implications many don't recognize until it's too late.This addiction isn't merely psychological. When your skin is exposed to ultraviolet radiation, your body releases endorphins – those feel-good neurochemicals that create a genuine physical dependency. "People can actually get addicted to this," Dr. Thacker explains, drawing parallels between tanorexia and other recognized addictive behaviors.Whether you're concerned about your own tanning habits or protecting children's delicate skin, this episode delivers practical, science-backed advice for maintaining healthy skin while still enjoying outdoor activities. Because as Dr. Thacker reminds us, all natural complexions are beautiful – it's about being "happy in your own skin" while keeping that skin healthy for years to come.Fit, Healthy & Happy Podcast Welcome to the Fit, Healthy and Happy Podcast hosted by Josh and Kyle from Colossus...Listen on: Apple Podcasts SpotifySupport the show

It was not by his works that Abraham was considered righteous by God, but by his faith. “Abraham believed God, and it was counted to him as righteousness.” (rm 4:3, Ge 15:6)

It has always been faith. It was faith before God gave the law to Moses. It was faith after the law was given. It is faith now, faith in the one true God and God the Son, Jesus, who sacrificed His own life to save us, and lives again. His blood is sufficient for all people in all time. He purchased for us that which we could never obtain for ourselves, righteousness, right-standing before a holy God. He is the fulfilment of the law and the answer to the necessity of justice. His only requirement is that we believe. To believe Him is to trust Him. To trust Him is to know that His words are true, and act on them. Put your faith in Jesus today! Our study of Paul's letter to the believers in Rome continues with Chapter 3, verses 27-31.

Paul has laid out the problem for us in detail. We are all deserving of God's judgment. Now we come to the solution. His name is Jesus.

As we continue our study, we now come to a passage that may be familiar to us, either because we were trained to use it as we share the good news, or because we ourselves were ushered into the faith by someone who read from it. You might call it the head of the "Romans road." Paul wraps up his indictment of humanity by quoting from the Psalms and the prophet Isaiah. He draws from passages concerning those who never knew God as well as those who forgot Him. The verdict, "There is none righteous, not even one." (Roman 3:9-18)

As we move into Romans, Chapter 3, Paul has shown us the hopeless condition of both Gentile and Jew. In Chapter 2, he has addressed the Jews in particular, for these had the advantage as direct recipients of His favor and His word. Now he will address some objections we might have from our limited human perspective. Has God acted unjustly? Absolutely not! This week we cover Romans 3:1-8.

God commanded circumcision as a sign of His covenant with His people, but from the beginning, it was always about the condition of their hearts. So it is with us. The trappings of religion are worthless if they do not extend beyond the surface. We continue our study with Romans 2:25-29.

As I read in preparation for the next passage in our progression through the book of Romans (2:17-24,) one phrase grabbed my attention, “the name of God is blasphemed among the Gentiles because of you,” (from 2:24.) The context is Paul's condemnation of his fellow Jews for their hypocrisy. He appears to be referencing Isaiah 52:5, which addresses Israel's oppression by the Assyrians. This happened because they turned away from Yahweh. They knew God's law, yet their hearts remained unchanged. The message can as easily be for us today. We know the teaching. We are quick to spot it when others don't live up to it, but we had better be examining ourselves. How many falls have we witnessed? They make the news far too often. The world turns away in justified disgust, and our Lord is grieved. We spend a lot of energy in concern over what people might think or say about us. With maturity we may care less, but there remains a desire to leave some kind of legacy. What will be said of us when we are gone? God's people should be asking different questions. We are Jesus' representatives on this earth. We should be asking, "what do people think of Jesus based on what they see in me? Does my life reflect His?" May our lives lead people to glorify the name of Jesus and not to curse it.

In Acts 1:6-11, Luke gives us an account of what happened just as Jesus was taken up into Heaven.  Imagine being one of the disciples on that day.  You've already seen so many amazing Miracles that you can't remember them all, and most amazing of all is the man you know was tortured and crucified just over 40 days ago is standing in front of you.  There's no doubt anymore of who He is.  You think you understand it all now, and wonder if now is the time for Him to finish what He started and restore your nation, something you've hoped for all your life. But not so fast!  When asked if the time had come, Jesus says in effect, “none of your business.”  “There's more for you to do, and I'm going to give you the power through the Holy Spirit to do it.”  Then, up He goes!  We're told that the disciples stood there looking into the sky. No doubt they were awestruck at what they had just seen, but I think they might have been wondering, “What now?”  Their leader has been taken from them.  The Holy Spirit is coming, but they don't yet understand what that means.  So, there they stand, staring up at the point where they last saw him disappear into a cloud.  How long that lasted we don't know, but it would seen not long before the angels made an appearance.  They had just one question, “why do you stand looking into the sky?”  Jesus already promised He would be back.  Meanwhile, the disciples had a mission to complete. When things get tough, we have a tendency to look back longingly at the way things used to be.  When something is lost that we think we can't live without, we can focus on that thing to the exclusion of all others, missing out on the life still going on around us.  Now I get that this is not a very good analogy when it comes to Jesus.  After all, we really can't live without him, and we don't have to.  We have the Holy Spirit.  But God was doing something bigger than they could ever have imagined, and Jesus's  temporary departure was part of the plan.  I'm sure I'd be right there with them.  After all, they were in the presence of the risen Lord!  They had given up everything to follow Him.  He had been their teacher and their friend.  This had to be a difficult transition for them.  So God sent the angels to remind them that He would be back and to prod them on to the next phase of His grand plan.  They obeyed, they prayed, the Holy Spirit came, and the world was changed forever! All of us right now can probably look back on times that seemed better.  We had our health.  WE had more money.  Our loved ones were still with us.  Our relationship with god seemed stronger. But let's not stand here staring off at what once was.  Let us instead embrace what is.  Let us continue to seek the Lord, learn to hear His voice, and do what He has told us.  I believe that great revival is possible, if we His people will only humble ourselves and pray, turn from our sins, and seek His face.

We continue our study of Paul's letter to the believers in Rome. He begins has case with the power of the good news of Jesus to save us all, then describes why it is that we need saving. He shows that regardless of our heritage or background, we are all without excuse. His law has been written in our hearts. The focus this week is on Romans 2:12-16.

We continue our study in the book of Romans with Chapter 2, verses 1-11. Paul now turns his attention to the hypocrites. If the unbeliever is without excuse, how much more the one who knows the truth? Paul had in mind those Jews who thought they were superior to others and yet did not keep God's law themselves. His message rings true today and applies to all people. We cannot presume that because we go to church or come from a Christian background that we are somehow shielded from the consequences of sin. If anything, our judgment is greater because we knew the truth. If we are committing the same sins, we have no place to judge others and we will suffer the same judgment.

Send us a textApril Thacker joins us to share her extraordinary journey from childhood spiritual encounters to becoming a professional psychic medium. Having experienced near-death moments as a young child, April recalls seeing a crystal village and feeling surrounded by love – early glimpses into the spiritual realm that would later become her calling.Most fascinating is April's account of the "Hat Man" – a shadowy figure in a hat and trench coat that visited her as a child. This wasn't just imagination; the Hat Man is a documented phenomenon reported by people worldwide, though his purpose remains mysterious. These early encounters initially frightened April into shutting down her abilities until divine timing intervened when she met her future mother-in-law – a woman raised by gypsies who practiced tarot reading.The conversation takes an illuminating turn as April describes how trauma healing unlocked her mediumship abilities. Courageously sharing her experiences with childhood abuse, alcoholism in her family, and sexual trauma, April demonstrates how these painful experiences became tools for helping others. Whether you're curious about developing your own intuitive abilities or seeking inspiration in healing past wounds, April's story offers both practical guidance and profound hope. To learn more about April or to work with her:Visit her website: sacreddreamer.simdif.comFollow her on TikTokClairvoyaging is now a fiscally sponsored project of Fractured Atlas, a 501(c)(3) charity, so any donations are now tax deductible.

Jim began his career in finance, working at Wells Fargo before marrying into a family that owned a dental lab. Initially brought in to handle the business side of things, Jim quickly became immersed in the world of dental aesthetics. Over the years, he has transformed Utah Valley Dental Lab from a small local lab into a thriving business with 123 employees, 40 of whom are also owners. This unique employee ownership model fosters a strong sense of collaboration and commitment among the staff, ensuring that everyone has a vested interest in the lab's success. One of the most fascinating aspects of Jim's approach is his focus on high-end aesthetics and the importance of peer referrals in growing the business. He emphasizes that there's nothing more effective than word-of-mouth marketing in the dental industry. By building strong relationships with their clients, Jim and his team have established Utah Valley Dental Lab as a go-to resource for aesthetic and implant dentistry. He believes in the importance of kindness and fostering a culture where employees feel valued and invested in their work.

Summary In this interview, Dr. Mel Thacker discussed her significant career transition from a successful surgical practice to becoming a coach for surgeons. Dr. Thacker shared that she left her practice in December 2024 after nearly a decade of service, despite being at the peak of her career with a high six-figure income.

In this episode, host Raghu Nandakumara sits down with Neil Thacker, CISO EMEA at Netskope. Neil joined the show to discuss the evolving role of the CISO, as well as the challenges and opportunities they face in the context of new technologies.  --------“A good friend of mine is a CIO for a very large organization and he shared a great story. Obviously, during the pandemic, everyone was working remotely and they set up this whole Zero Trust principle and policy set to better secure their remote workers. It was interesting, he said, when everyone started coming back into the office, we realized we had better security when everyone was remote because of the changes that we made. So, we wanted to apply those same principles to our internal network and then we realized, can we just get rid of our internal network, our corporate network?”--------Time Stamps (03:14) The role of the CISO and its evolution(07:59) Challenges and opportunities in the CISO role(21:49) Importance of context in security operations(31:54) Simplifying compliance and driving innovation(45:23) Advice for Aspiring CISOs --------SponsorAssume breach, minimize impact, increase resilience ROI, and save millions in downtime costs — with Illumio, the Zero Trust Segmentation company. Learn more at illumio.com.--------LinksConnect with Neil on LinkedInIllumio World Tour

This week on Ask the Pastor features a conversation between Pastor J.D. Greear and Dr. Jason Thacker. Dr. Thacker is a professor, ethicist, and scholar who has written several books, including "Following Jesus in a Digital Age."

Generations of college students have probably imagined that his first name was Venerable, and his family name Bede. But Bede–that's B-E-D-E–was his only name. He was a native of Northumbria, in the north of what we now think of as England. Apparently never going abroad, his life was spent within a few miles of his monastery, and probably just a few miles from where he was born. Yet this seemingly narrow and circumscribed life was full of intense intellectual activity. Bede authored dozens of works: teaching texts to be used for young boys entering the monastery, as he had done; biblical commentaries; arithmetical works; sermons and homilies; and lives of Northumbrian saints. Yet when he is remembered by historians, it is for his Historia ecclesiastica gentis Anglorum, An Ecclesiastical History of the English People.  With me to discuss Bede as historian is Rory Naismith, Professor of Early Medieval History and Fellow of Corpus Christi College at the University of Cambridge. This is his third appearance on the podcast; he was last on Historically Thinking in Episode 343 discussing whether we should talk about the Anglo-Saxons.   For Further Investigation This is one of our occasional podcasts on important historians. For others, see this one on Polybius, and this on another medieval historian, Princess Anna Komnene The remnants of the monastery of Monkwearmouth-Jarrow The historical site formerly known as "Bede's World": now Jarrow Hall Anglo-Saxon Farm Village and Bede Museum, reopened after a short closure. FYI, in contemporary Britain it's probably true that Jarrow is best known for the "Jarrow Crusade" rather than for Bede A good companion to Bede is, amazingly enough, J. Robert Wright, A Companion to Bede: A Reader's Commentary on The Ecclesiastical History of the English People Rory Naismith also suggests: Bede, Ecclesiastical History of the English People/Historia ecclesiastica gentis Anglorum: "This is available in very many translations, including those of Bertram Colgrave and D. H. Farmer. A scholarly edition, with facing-page Latin and English, is available from Bertram Colgrave and R. A. B. Mynors." J. Campbell, Essays in Anglo-Saxon History (London, 1986), pp. 1–48 G.

The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 1: 3:05pm- WSJ Reporter Freed as Part of Russian Prisoner Swap: Drew Hinshaw, Joe Parkinson, and Aruna Viswantha of The Wall Street Journal report: “Russia freed wrongly convicted Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich as part of the largest and most complex East-West prisoner swap since the Cold War, in which he and more than a dozen others jailed by the Kremlin were exchanged for Russians held in the U.S. and Europe, including a convicted murderer. Gershkovich and other Americans left Russian aircraft at roughly 11:20 a.m. ET at an airport in Turkey's capital, Ankara. Gershkovich was then transported to an aircraft lounge on a Turkish bus. Russia had kept the 32-year-old behind bars for more than a year on a false allegation of espionage. It sentenced him in a hurried and secret three-day trial to 16 years in a high-security penal colony.” Rich notes that it's wonderful that Gershkovich has been released but wonders why Pennsylvania school teacher Marc Fogel remains wrongfully imprisoned by Russia? You can read the full article here: https://www.wsj.com/world/russia/evan-gershkovich-free-cde745b3 3:20pm- While speaking to the White House press, National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan was asked about the “imbalance” in the Biden-Harris Administration's prisoner swap agreement with Russia—with Russia receiving hardened criminals while the U.S. received wrongfully convicted citizens and journalists. 3:30pm- Paul Thacker— Investigative Journalist & former Fellow at the Edmond J. Safra Center for Ethics at Harvard University—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss his latest article for his Substack, The Disinformation Chronicle.

Khelif had previously  been disqualified from participating in women's boxing competitions after testing revealed Khelif possessed XY chromosomes. While appearing on Fox News, boxer Claressa Shields—a two-time Olympic gold medalist—said that while she respects everyone, she doesn't believe it's fair or safe for men to fight women in the boxing ring.

It was Trump's first trip to the Keystone State since he was nearly assassinated in Butler, PA. Last night, Trump invited Tiffany Hall—a single mother of four who lives in PA—on stage to discuss how her life, and the lives of her children, have been made more difficult by Bidenomics and the resulting inflation. 4:30pm- Congress Tries to Protect Children Online: The Wall Street Journal Editorial Board writes: “The Senate on Tuesday passed the Kids Online Safety Act (KOSA), 91-3, and who opposes keeping children safe in the cyber wilderness? While well-intended and useful in some ways, the bill is full of land mines that the House would be wise to clean up…If parents don't want their children spending more than an hour on TikTok a day or playing video games past 8 p.m., they should have the power to stop them. But politicians always want more control, and they say it's unfair to ask parents to supervise children online. Thus the Senate bill would empower the Federal Trade Commission and 50 state Attorneys General to serve in loco parentis and police the platforms. Companies would have a legal ‘duty of care' to design their platforms to prevent harm to minors. This means the FTC could sue platforms if it says their features, including algorithms, harm minors.” You can read the full editorial here: https://www.wsj.com/articles/senate-kids-online-safety-act-house-social-media-regulation-federal-trade-commission-30cfe079?mod=opinion_lead_pos1 4:40pm- Hong Kong Wins Gold in Fencing, Taunts Italy with Pineapple Pizza: John Yoon of The New York Times reports: “Losing an Olympic fencing title bout to the champion from Hong Kong was difficult enough for the Italian. Then came the pizza slander. Cheung Ka Long's triumph over Filippo Macchi of Italy in the gold medal bout in men's foil on Monday has led to a sour fallout that has spilled off the fencing strip: Pizza Hut's Hong Kong and Macao branch has offered free pineapple toppings on its pies as fans on social media praised the combination widely shunned by the losing side.” You can read the full article here: https://www.nytimes.com/2024/07/30/world/olympics/hong-kong-italy-fencing-pineapple-pizza.html 5:05pm- On Wednesday night, Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump held a campaign rally in Harrisburg, PA—his first trip to Pennsylvania since he was nearly assassinated at an event in Butler, PA on July 13th. During the rally, Trump emphasized presumptive Democrat presidential nominee Kamala Harris' far-left policy preferences, including: a ban on fracking, abolishing ICE, and ending private health insurance. Trump also spent time discussing Harris' failed attempt to secure the U.S. Southern border. Trump promised the crowd “We're not going to let her do to Pennsylvania what she did to California. She destroyed San Francisco."—even calling out Soros-funded District Attorneys and explicitly mentioning Philadelphia. 5:25pm- Flashback: In 2016, KCAL 9—a CBS News affiliate in Los Angeles, CA—reported that Kamala Harris was accused of treating her Senate “campaign funds like a personal checking account to fund a life of luxury.” When questioned about the accusations, Harris seemingly conceded that money was misappropriated but blamed it on her campaign manager. 5:35pm- Dr. Victoria Coates—Former Deputy National Security Advisor & the Vice President of the Davis Institute for National Security and Foreign Policy at The Heritage Foundation—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss the Biden Administration's prisoner swap agreement with Russia. While it's wonderful that Gershkovich has been released, why does Pennsylvania school teacher Marc Fogel remain wrongfully imprisoned in Russia? Dr. Coates fears that because Russia got the better end of this trade deal, it could encourage Vladimir Putin to imprison more Americans. Plus, why isn't the American media paying closer attention to authoritarian Nicolas Maduro's seizure of power in Venezuela? Coates suspects the media is protecting the Biden-Harris Administration for having eased sanctions on Venezuela in exchange for Maduro's empty promise of free and fair elections—which clearly didn't happen. Her upcoming book is: “Winning the War on Israel: Inside the Battle for the Jewish State and America.” 6:05pm- What's So Great About Josh Shapiro?: Jonathan Chait of New York Magazine writes: “Kamala Harris has the luxury of several promising options for her vice-presidential nominee, but the discussion has focused inordinately on Pennsylvania governor Josh Shapiro. The reason for this, I think, is that Shapiro has some weaknesses that make him distasteful to some potential Harris voters… Democrats have two main sources of concern with Shapiro, one small and one large.
