In a world that's been flipped upside down — where good is labeled evil, evil is celebrated as good, and God's rainbow covenant has been hijacked and perverted — the signs are screaming louder than ever: The King is Coming. This powerful episode dives deep into Ashley Hays' urgent message from “The King is Coming,” where she captures a breathtaking rainbow in the sky and delivers a timely warning straight from Scripture. We explore how we're truly living in reverse: what God calls holy is mocked, what He calls sin is paraded as freedom, and the days of Noah are repeating right before our eyes. The Rapture promise in 1 Thessalonians 4 — are you ready? Why the world feels so backwards and what true believers should do in these final moments. #rapture

Send us Fan MailThis episode kicks off a series of podcasts from The Book Of Esther.  This is a 5-part series and this first episode introduces us to the character of Esther.  How did she come into position as Queen?  How did God use a seemingly unknown Jewish girl to change the course of history for Israel and its people?  As we look at Esther we'll see how God did it.  Today we look specifically at the culture and climate of the ancient Persians.  Their world was based upon appearances, beauty, wealth, and status.  Thousands of years later, our world is not much different.  In this upside-down world, God is calling His people to a different standard.  He is calling us out to live for "such a time as this."  

How to Leverage AI for Career Growth: 5 Essential Insights Learn how to navigate AI in your career with insights from industry leader Monica Marquez. Discover practical tips for maximizing your potential in the evolving job market. In a world where AI is rapidly changing our work environments, many professionals find themselves grappling with how to adapt. This blog post will provide you with essential insights from Monica Marquez, a leader in workforce reinvention, on how to effectively leverage AI for career advancement. You'll learn about the evolving landscape and how to position yourself for success in this new era. About Monica Marquez Monica Marquez is the co-founder and workforce reinvention leader at Flipwork. With an impressive background that includes roles at Goldman Sachs and Texas Tech University, she is committed to helping individuals maximize their potential in the ever-evolving workplace. Her work focuses on demystifying AI and empowering professionals to embrace technology as a tool for growth. Understanding the Current AI Landscape AI is no longer just a buzzword; it's a reality that is reshaping industries and job roles. In a conversation with Rod Berger, Monica emphasized that while the advent of AI has created fear and uncertainty, it also presents unprecedented opportunities. The Fear of AI: Many people fear that AI will replace their jobs or diminish their value in the workplace. This apprehension is understandable given the rapid pace of AI technology's evolution. AI as a Tool: Instead of viewing AI as a threat, it's essential to see it as a powerful tool that can enhance human capabilities. Monica notes that AI is akin to other tools we've used throughout history, but it's evolving at an unprecedented pace. How to Embrace AI in Your Career To leverage AI effectively, it's crucial to shift your mindset and approach. Here are five actionable strategies: 1. Cultivate Curiosity: Stay informed about AI trends and developments. Monica suggests that curiosity is key; by continually seeking knowledge, you can better understand how to apply AI in your work. Common Mistake: Many professionals avoid AI out of fear or misunderstanding. Embrace a learning mindset instead. 2. Reinvent Your Playbook: The traditional success playbook has changed. Post-AI, focus on how to use AI to augment your strengths rather than viewing it as a replacement for your skills. 3. Access Information: AI democratizes access to information. Utilize AI tools to gain insights and knowledge that were previously only available to a select few. This is particularly beneficial for underrepresented groups in tech. Cultural Insight: Many people still believe that AI is only for tech-savvy individuals, but this is a myth. Anyone can learn to use AI tools with the right guidance. 4. Focus on Impact: Shift your focus from effort to impact. The goal should be to create more value in your work, not just to put in more hours. Mindset Shift:  Understand that using AI to produce faster results can lead to greater overall impact, which is now the new measure of success. 5. Educate Others: As you learn to leverage AI, share your knowledge with colleagues and peers. This not only reinforces your own understanding but also helps build a more AI-literate workforce. Community Building: Create or join groups that focus on AI education and collaboration, fostering an environment of shared learning. Key Takeaways - AI is not a threat but a tool that can enhance your career. - Curiosity and continuous learning are essential. - Reinvent your approach to success by focusing on impact rather than effort. - Educate yourself and others about AI to foster a collaborative learning environment. Navigating the world of AI can be daunting, but with the right mindset and strategies, you can not only survive but thrive in this new landscape. Embrace the changes, leverage AI to your advantage, and focus on the impact you can create in your career.  

On Sunday April 26, 2026 Pastor Michael Brunzo brought the message "Living Right-side Up in an Upside-down World" to the congregation at Faith Fellowship Church. Be Blessed as you listen.

Bonus from the March 5th, 2026 Rumble Live Stream.A gunman wearing clothes with an Iranian flag design and declaring "Property of Allah" killed two people and wounded 14 early Sunday at a Texas bar, a law enforcement official told The Associated Press. The FBI is investigating the shooting, which erupted a day after the U.S. and Israel launched an attack on Iran, as a potential act of terrorism. Michael A. Letts, founder and CEO of InVest USA and author of Truth, Lies and Control: Finding Hope in an Upside-Down World, joins me to discuss the issue.Is the Government Legally Killing Us? That's not just a reasonable question more of us should be asking; it is the title of Scott Schara's (Grace's Dad) new book. It is Scott's relentless search for the truth after the death of his daughter, Grace Schara, in a Wisconsin hospital. Framed as both a legal and moral reckoning, Schara draws on court filings, regulatory history, and firsthand experience to uncover an agenda that you may have a hard time believing. It establishes that the medical system we've been programmed to trust is killing us and that the legal system protects the guilty—what the author calls "the crime of the millennium." Scott joins me to tell us about the book and update us on what has happened since we last spoke.Michael A.

It's been more than a week since the disappearance of Nancy Guthrie, the mother of "Today" host Savannah Guthrie, and authorities have finally confirmed a suspect in the case. In a social media post on Feb. 12, the FBI called Nancy Guthrie's case a "kidnapping" and released photos of a black backpack and a person the agency described as a male about "5'9" - 5'10" tall, with an average build. Nils Grevillius, a Los Angeles-based private detective known for conducting investigations without regard to local or national borders and for delivering factual information, joins me to discuss the latest developments in the case.The Legacy Media has declared war against "Melania," the new documentary chronicling Melania Trump's return to the White House in 2025. Film critics played the Nazi card against both her and the film after weeks of mocking the project. Dr. Gilda Carle, author of Real Men Don't Go Woke and spokesperson for The International Council for Men and Boys, joins me to discuss why feminists have nothing nice to say about 'Melania.'Without intervention, DHS funding will expire on Friday after being carved out of a larger government funding package.

How do you receive God's Word? For many believers, the Bible is a tool used to reinforce their own preconceived notions and the way they want to perceive the world. They wield it recklessly as a sword, ready to take down anyone who disagrees with them. But, as Pastor Bill will point out in the example of the Bereans, this book, this gift from God, is meant to reveal who He is to our hearts. When we study it with humility, he'll reveal His truth and transform our hearts to be more like His.

In today's message from Pastor Bill, we'll encounter a group of Jews who challenge us in our walk. This group was from the region of Berea, and they were known and still remembered for their faithfulness to God's Word. They diligently studied it daily, and when Paul came with the Gospel, they received him eagerly and weighed his words against the Word of God. This is what we need to be doing every time we take in teaching, testing it for ourselves to be sure it aligns with Scripture.

Week 2 | The Sermon on the Mount (1995)In this sermon on Matthew 5:3–12, Darrell unpacks the Beatitudes, the words with which Jesus opens his famous Sermon on the Mount. Darrell provides some important contextual notes that help us understand the Book of Matthew as a whole and the significance of what Jesus is doing in talking about the kind of people who are “blessed.” Darrell also gives a greater understanding of the important word “blessed” and comes up with “right side up” - those in the kingdom are “right side up” when it comes to how God sees things. He concludes by inviting us to reflect on which of the Beatitudes we might need to pay attention to in our journey of discipleship.⁠The Bible Course⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Darrell's Books⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Give to the Ministry of Darrell Johnson⁠⁠⁠⁠—⁠⁠⁠⁠Subscribe to Darrell's Mailing List⁠⁠⁠⁠Website | ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠darrelljohnson.ca⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube | ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠youtube.com/darrelljohnson⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

How do we know who is a genuine believer? And why does it matter to know the difference between conversion and conviction? Those are the questions we're wrestling with in this episode How to Study the Bible. Today, we're studying Daniel 4 in our Living Right Side Up in an Upside Down World series. After dreams, miracles, and multiple warnings, the king still resists repentance—until God graciously brings him low and restores him when he finally acknowledges: “Heaven rules.” Nicole distinguishes religious conviction from Christian conversion, names how pride hides in plain sight, and calls listeners to examine their allegiance—not to personalities, parties, or echo chambers, but to Jesus as Lord. You’ll learn how to read Daniel 4 with context, spot the turn from “the tree” to “the man,” and apply the chapter’s timeless truths to your life today. Key Takeaways from Daniel 4 - Religious conviction does not equal Christian conversion. Interest, morality, or “saying the right words” is not the same as repentance and allegiance to Jesus. Heaven rules. God is sovereign over kings, kingdoms, and timelines—even when He seems slow. Pride is subtle and stubborn. It hides in control, certainty, self-reliance, and power. God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble. God is patient. Nebuchadnezzar receives 12 months to repent—Scripture shows a God who warns, waits, and still welcomes. Read carefully. Daniel 4 shifts from describing a tree (it/its) to a person (him/his)—a textual clue that the dream is about the king himself. Escape echo chambers. Anchor teaching in Scripture, not personalities or algorithms. Measure fruit, not just words. Repentance is a turn, not a tweak. Conversion means leaving the kingdom of self for the kingdom of God—a new operating system.

What do we do when the heat around us rises and our allegiance to God is tested? This week, we're continuing our Fall Bible Study on Daniel: Living Right Side Up in an Upside Down World. Nicole walks with us through Daniel 3—the fiery furnace moment with Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. Using the ALIVE Method (What does it say? What’s the backstory? What does it mean? What does it mean for me?), Nicole shows how this ancient story speaks directly to modern disciples who feel pressure to assimilate to cultural idols. Key theme: Perspective matters. True allegiance shows when pressure rises. The three friends’ confession—“even if He does not”—models a courageous, non-anxious faith that resists idolatry and trusts God’s authority over our trials. In this episode, Nicole covers: How to read Daniel 3 with the ALIVE Method so you see the text, its context, its timeless truth, and its personal application. Why allegiance precedes outcomes: Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego’s “even if He does not” (Daniel 3:18) courage shows faith isn’t transactional. Idolatry isn’t only “bad things”: As Tim Keller noted, a good thing that becomes an ultimate thing is an idol. Even noble causes, work, or ministry can become ultimate. (From Keller’s teaching on counterfeits; see Counterfeit Gods for a deeper dive) What to do when the heat rises: Don’t panic—pray. Seek community and God’s wisdom (cf. Daniel 2). How to interpret miracles and suffering: Miracles are a sign of God’s authority; they don’t establish it. And Scripture prepares us not to be surprised by “fiery ordeals.” Living in “Babylon” today: Practice holy resistance without withdrawal—hold firm convictions with humility, love, and clarity. Modern idolatry and competing allegiances: how to spot them, surrender them, and seek God’s kingdom first.

In week two of our bible study, Living Right Side Up in an Upside Down World, Nicole walks through Daniel 2—Nebuchadnezzar’s disturbing dream, the failure of Babylon’s “wise men,” and Daniel’s prayerful response. The chapter unveils a core biblical truth: earthly kingdoms crumble, but God’s kingdom endures. Learn how to respond to a crisis like Daniel, place your trust in what lasts, and live for the unshakable kingdom. Get Our Free Daniel Study Guide (15 minutes/day): nicoleunice.com/daniel What We Cover - Why Nebuchadnezzar demanded both the dream and its interpretation—and what that reveals about fear and power. How Daniel models holy courage: don’t panic—pray, gather your people, seek God. The big picture: God rules history; earthly empires are temporary. How Christ is the cornerstone of a different kind of kingdom that will never be shaken. Key Bible Study Scriptures Daniel 2 (the dream, the statue, and God’s revelation) Isaiah 40 (nations are a drop in a bucket before God) Psalm 2 (earthly rulers rage; God reigns) Luke 20:17; 1 Peter 2:6–7 (Christ the cornerstone) James 1:5 (ask for wisdom) Big Takeaways God rules history—even when rulers rage or cultures shift. Earthly kingdoms are temporary—don’t anchor your identity to what won’t last. Crisis is a cue for prayer—Daniel gathers friends and seeks God’s wisdom. Live for the unshakable kingdom—align loyalties, time, and decisions with Jesus’ reign. This Week's Reflection Questions Where am I subtly placing trust in temporary kingdoms (success, security, institutions, relationships)? When a crisis hits—big or small—do I panic or pray? What one step can shift me toward Daniel’s pattern this week? In what practical ways can I seek first the Kingdom in my work, home, and relationships right now?

As I am on strict rest post my surgery, I found my anger building for what I see on the news and social media. Where I used to numb myself with drugs and sex, I have learned to use healthier avenues to get rid of my frustration, so I write music, go to my studio, and spend hours creating. It is better than any therapy in my opinion. This will be available on all platforms this winter, but here is a sneak peek of the demo before the mastering process.

Nicole begins the new bible study series Living Right Side Up in an Upside Down World with Daniel Chapter 1. Set in Babylon after God’s people are taken into exile, this story introduces Daniel and his friends as they resist assimilation into a foreign culture. By choosing faithfulness—even in something as simple as food—God equips them with wisdom and influence. Together, we’ll learn how to live faithfully in a culture that often presses us to conform, and how exile never has the last word when God is sovereign. What We Cover - Why Daniel and his friends refused the king’s food and what it teaches about holy resistance. How exile is never the end of the story—God works even in scattering. Why respectful courage matters when culture pressures us to assimilate. How God honors faithfulness with His presence and provision. Key Scriptures - Daniel 1 – Daniel’s faithfulness in Babylon. Jeremiah 29:4–7 – God’s call to seek the good of the city, even in exile. Exodus (background) – God’s promise to set His people apart. This Week's Reflection Questions: Where do you feel pressure to assimilate to “Babylon” in your own life? What might holy resistance look like for you this week? How can you seek the good of your city without losing your identity in Christ?

In Jesusland (ECW Press, 2025) Joelle Kidd uses a blend of cultural criticism, humor, and personal memoir akin to Jia Tolentino's Trick Mirror or Grace Perry's The 2000s Made Me Gay, Kidd writes about her evangelical adolescence through the lens of Christian pop culture of the early 2000s, giving readers a peek into this odd subculture and insight into how evangelicalism's growing popularity around the turn of the millennium has shaped culture and politics — including today's far right. An empathetic, funny, and sharply critical collection of essays exploring the Christian pop culture of the 2000s and its influence on today's politically powerful evangelicalism In 1999, after three years of secular living in Eastern Europe, Kidd moved back to Canada and was enrolled in the strange world of an evangelical Christian school. In Jesusland, Kidd writes about the Christian pop culture that she was suddenly immersed in, from perky girl bands to modest styling tips, and draws connections between this evangelical subculture and the mainstream, a tense yet reciprocal relationship that both disavows the secular while employing its media markers. But none of this was just about catchy songs: every abstinence quiz in a teen magazine was laying the foundation for what would become a conservative Christian movement that threatens women's healthcare, attacks queer and trans rights, and drives present-day political division. Through nine incisive, honest, and emotional essays, Jesusland exposes the pop cultural machinations of evangelicalism, while giving voice to aughts-era Christian children and teens who are now adults looking back at their time, measuring the length of their skirts, and asking each other if their celebrity crush was Christian enough. With care and generosity, Jesusland shows us how the conservative evangelical movement became the global power it is today by exploring the pop culture that both reflected and shaped an entire generation of young people.

In this final episode to the Summer Q&A Series, Nicole responds to a heartfelt question from a listener: “I feel the Holy Spirit urging me to speak, but I’ve been taught that women should not preach. How do I stay obedient to the Spirit?” Nicole unpacks Scripture—including the often-debated passages in 1 Corinthians—to explore how spiritual gifts are given to both men and women for the building up of the church. She highlights the difference between preaching and prophesying, and reminds listeners that obedience to God’s voice is never limited by human rules. Nicole also shares what’s coming this fall: a brand-new series on the book of Daniel, exploring how to live “right-side up” in an upside-down world. Don’t miss the preview at the end of the episode! Key Takeaways

The author of the “An End to the Upside Down” book series, Mark Gober, is back to discuss his latest writing about the nature of reality, the dark matter of space, and the truth about the planet that we are not told about. In “An End to the Upside Down Cosmos”, some long-held beliefs about our planet are challenged and reexamined, with evidence to support the claims. In his previous book, “An End to Upside Down Contact”, he explores the role of consciousness in the abduction experiences of people, as well as how psychedelics play a role in disclosure. The UFO Industrial Complex has been working overtime to sell a narrative through multiple media avenues, which blends Mark's “Cosmos” and “Contact” books together nicely.
