REGISTER TODAY: https://www.angelwellnesscenter.com/who-am-i-supposed-to-be-now TODAY'S EPISODE Beautiful soul, this live coaching session centers on financial fear, creative calling, and trusting your higher self. Mary Beth shares her self-limiting belief about using her retirement savings to fund three long-held dreams: writing a book, launching an invention, and stepping fully into spiritual healing. Julie guides her through refining the question in oneness, releasing ego urgency, and understanding that multiple dreams can coexist. You will learn how Spirit works in seasons, how to place visions into “time columns,” and why you do not have to choose just one path to move forward. This episode is a powerful reminder that fear of money often masks fear of time, overworking, and getting it wrong. Your higher self already knows the path. You only have to walk it one day at a time.

You will learn how to stop outsourcing your decisions, go inward first, and trust God and your intuition as your compass.

SHOW NOTES   In Podcast Episode 363, “Idols I Need to Smash,” Kim discusses how when someone meets with the Lord, they cannot remain the same. In today's primary text, the people of Judah and some from Israel had celebrated the Passover for the first time in their lifetimes. Immediately, they smashed multiple different idols. When the prophet Isaiah saw the Lord, he immediately saw how sinful he and the people were, and the Lord graciously forgave and then commissioned him to speak on His behalf. We can't meet with the Lord and leave unchanged.   Our focal passage for this episode is 2 Chronicles 31:1-21, with 1 as the focal verse:   1 When the festival ended, the Israelites who attended went to all the towns of Judah, Benjamin, Ephraim, and Manasseh, and they smashed all the sacred pillars, cut down the Asherah poles, and removed the pagan shrines and altars. After this, the Israelites returned to their own towns and homes.     WEEKLY ENGAGEMENT FEATURE:   Prayerfully identify any idols you need to smash immediately.   Additional Resources and Scriptures:   Isaiah 6:1-8 EMAIL — encouragingothersinlovingjesus@gmail.com Facebook Group - https://www.facebook.com/groups/encouragingothersinlovingjesus X - https://x.com/eoinlovingjesus?s=21&t=YcRjZQUpvP7FrJmm7Pe1hg INSTAGRAM -  https://www.instagram.com/encouragingothersinlovingjesus/ “Encouraging Others in Loving Jesus” YouTube Channel: Check it out at https://www.youtube.com/@EncouragingOthersInLovingJesus   I WANT TO BEGIN A PERSONAL RELATIONSHIP WITH JESUS CHRIST.   RESOURCES USED FOR BOOK OF 1 & 2 Kings (1 & 2 Chronicles) PODCASTS: “The Wiersbe Bible Commentary: The Complete Old Testament OT in One Volume” “Christ-Centered Exposition: Exalting Jesus in 1 & 2 Kings” by Tony Merida “The Tony Evans Bible Commentary: Advancing God's Kingdom Agenda” “Life Application Study Bible” “The Swindoll Study Bible: NLT” by Charles R.

You will learn why oneness is the new way of healing, how to hold a higher vibration without taking on other people's pain, and how to rewrite the story that questions your intuition. You are not going crazy. You are learning to trust what God already placed within you.

Pastor Josh Moody of College Church in Wheaton, IL talks with Wayne Shepherd about his love of Scripture and how to make it a regular part of life.    (click for more...)Website:  www.GodCenteredLife.orgIn this First Person conversation, Pastor Josh Moody, senior pastor of College Church in Wheaton, Illinois, reflects on his journey from England to pastoral ministry in the U.S., his deep appreciation for Jonathan Edwards, and his passion for helping believers engage Scripture as the living Word of God. Moody recounts formative influences from his parents' example, a transformative mission trip that awakened his love for the Bible, and his conviction that daily dependence on God's Word is essential for spiritual life and perseverance. He discusses his book Bible Verses Every Christian Should Know as an accessible, interactive guide meant to draw readers into Scripture without guilt or pressure, emphasizing that faith, growth, and evangelism ultimately flow from hearing and responding to God's Word.                                            NEXT WEEK:  Greg WheatleySend your support for FIRST PERSON to the Far East Broadcasting Company:FEBC National Processing Center Far East Broadcasting CompanyP.O.

If you want financial freedom but feel stuck or secretly believe it will never happen for you, this episode explains why. When you hold two opposing beliefs at once, “I want abundance” and “I will never have it,” your energy cancels itself out. This teaching helps you uncover subconscious lack patterns and rewrite them through God's eyes. You will begin to see money as energy that flows through you for purpose, impact, and service. God does not want you in lack. God wants to work through you.

SHOW NOTES   In Podcast Episode 362, “Please Give Us One Heart to Obey,” Kim discusses the latest invitation King Hezekiah sent out to call, not only the people of the Southern Kingdom, but also anyone left in the Northern Kingdom to come home and worship the Lord. Many laughed at the invitation, but some humbled themselves and came. For those who answered the invitation, the Lord gave “them all one heart to obey” their leaders, who were obeying the Lord. How would our world be changed today if Christ-followers had one heart to obey the Lord?   Our focal passage for this episode is 2 Chronicles 30:1-27, with 12 as the focal verse:   12 At the same time, God's hand was on the people in the land of Judah, giving them all one heart to obey the orders of the king and his officials, who were following the word of the Lord.      WEEKLY ENGAGEMENT FEATURE:   Please pray with me for you and all in your circle to have one heart to obey the Lord.   EDITOR'S NOTE:   Due to multiple technical difficulties, Kim had to perform multiple edits on the recorded material.

SHOW NOTES   In Podcast Episode 361, “Restored to Service,” Kim discusses the dedication of the Temple as described in 2 Chronicles 7 and the path that led to the rededication in 2 Chronicles 29. God knew the people would not stay 100% on fire for him and he gave Solomon a restoration plan from the beginning: 14 Then if my people who are called by my name will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sins and restore their land (2 Chronicles 7:14). About 250 years later, spiritual darkness has invaded the land and King Hezekiah leads the people in the restoration process, including purifying and rededicating the temple.   Our focal passage for this episode is 2 Chronicles 29:18-36, with 28-29 and 35b-36 as the focal verses:   28 The entire assembly worshiped the Lord as the singers sang and the trumpets blew, until all the burnt offerings were finished. 29 Then the king and everyone with him bowed down in worship.    So the Temple of the Lord was restored to service. 36 And Hezekiah and all the people rejoiced because of what God had done for the people, for everything had been accomplished so quickly.     WEEKLY ENGAGEMENT FEATURE:   For Christ-followers, the “temple of the Holy Spirit” is contained within our bodies. Is there anything you need to do today to “restore” your body to wholehearted service for the Lord?   Additional Resources and Scriptures:   2 Chronicles 7:1-22 - 12 Then one night the Lord appeared to Solomon and said, “I have heard your prayer and have chosen this Temple as the place for making sacrifices. 13 At times I might shut up the heavens so that no rain falls, or command grasshoppers to devour your crops, or send plagues among you. 14 Then if my people who are called by my name will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sins and restore their land. 15 My eyes will be open and my ears attentive to every prayer made in this place. 16 For I have chosen this Temple and set it apart to be holy—a place where my name will be honored forever. I will always watch over it, for it is dear to my heart. 19 Don't you realize that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit, who lives in you and was given to you by God? You do not belong to yourself, 20 for God bought you with a high price. So you must honor God with your body.

Brian From is joined by longtime friend and Wheaton College classmate Marcus Nelson, senior pastor of St. John Lutheran Church in downtown Wheaton, to talk about calling, ministry, and the surprising journey that brought Marcus back to where it all began. Marcus shares what he loves most about being a pastor, the unique spirit and community of St. John, and why an “ordinary” Christian life rooted in love and contentment is actually extraordinary. The conversation closes with a pastoral word of hope for anyone feeling weary, reminding listeners that real hope is found in being loved by God and loving others in return.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

SHOW NOTES   In Podcast Episode 360, “When You Are Really Serious about Doing Right,” Kim discusses the measures you may want to take if you want to commit to the Lord stick. King Hezekiah walked into an absolute mess, and he set out to right the proverbial ship. He wanted to renew the people side of the covenant with the Lord. Kim also looks at when Joshua challenged the Israelites' commitment to the Lord and renewed their commitment to the Lord. If they had truly followed through on those commitments from generation to generation, Hezekiah would not have inherited the mess he did.   Our focal passage for this episode is 2 Chronicles 29:10-17 with 10 as the focal verse:   10 But now I will make a covenant with the Lord, the God of Israel, so that his fierce anger will turn away from us.     WEEKLY ENGAGEMENT FEATURE:   Might today be the day you recommit one or more areas of your life to the Lord?   Additional Resources and Scriptures:   Joshua 24 EMAIL — encouragingothersinlovingjesus@gmail.com Facebook Group - https://www.facebook.com/groups/encouragingothersinlovingjesus X - https://x.com/eoinlovingjesus?s=21&t=YcRjZQUpvP7FrJmm7Pe1hg INSTAGRAM -  https://www.instagram.com/encouragingothersinlovingjesus/ “Encouraging Others in Loving Jesus” YouTube Channel: Check it out at https://www.youtube.com/@EncouragingOthersInLovingJesus     I WANT TO BEGIN A PERSONAL RELATIONSHIP WITH JESUS CHRIST.   RESOURCES USED FOR BOOK OF 1 & 2 Kings PODCASTS: “The Wiersbe Bible Commentary: The Complete Old Testament OT in One Volume” “Christ-Centered Exposition: Exalting Jesus in 1 & 2 Kings” by Tony Merida “The Tony Evans Bible Commentary: Advancing God's Kingdom Agenda” “Life Application Study Bible” “The Swindoll Study Bible: NLT” by Charles R.

SHOW NOTES   In Podcast Episode 359, “Just, How Did We Get Here?” Kim discusses the importance of periodically assessing where you are in your life and the decisions and events that led you to today. As King Hezekiah began to lead the Southern Kingdom of Israel, he immediately sought to repair the relationship of the people to God. Then, he took a moment to reflect on the poor decisions their ancestors made that led them to such a dark place.   Our focal passage for this episode is 2 Chronicles 29:6-9 with 8-9 as the focal verses:   8 “That is why the Lord's anger has fallen upon Judah and Jerusalem. He has made them an object of dread, horror, and ridicule, as you can see with your own eyes. 9 Because of this, our fathers have been killed in battle, and our sons and daughters and wives have been captured.     WEEKLY ENGAGEMENT FEATURE:   Ask yourself: “How did I get here?” Take a few prayerful moments to review your history and ask the Lord to teach you through the process of remembering.   Additional Resources and Scriptures:   EMAIL — encouragingothersinlovingjesus@gmail.com Facebook Group - https://www.facebook.com/groups/encouragingothersinlovingjesus X - https://x.com/eoinlovingjesus?s=21&t=YcRjZQUpvP7FrJmm7Pe1hg INSTAGRAM -  https://www.instagram.com/encouragingothersinlovingjesus/ “Encouraging Others in Loving Jesus” YouTube Channel: Check it out at https://www.youtube.com/@EncouragingOthersInLovingJesus   I WANT TO BEGIN A PERSONAL RELATIONSHIP WITH JESUS CHRIST.   RESOURCES USED FOR BOOK OF 1 & 2 Kings PODCASTS: “The Wiersbe Bible Commentary: The Complete Old Testament OT in One Volume” “Christ-Centered Exposition: Exalting Jesus in 1 & 2 Kings” by Tony Merida “The Tony Evans Bible Commentary: Advancing God's Kingdom Agenda” “Life Application Study Bible” “The Swindoll Study Bible: NLT” by Charles R.

A minute-long phone call from an unknown Phoenix number set off a chain of events that brought Garrett Nates back to Colorado to lead a 70-year-old church—and to champion a bold, sustainable plan to plant three new congregations in nine years across Northern Colorado. We open with the story behind that call and zoom out to the forces reshaping Longmont, a city wedged between Boulder and Fort Collins and serving as a gateway to the Rockies, where rapid growth has outpaced the number of healthy, gospel-centered churches.Garrett walks us through his journey: a childhood conversion, a teenage identity wrapped in soccer, and the pivotal moment when being cut from a college team cleared space for calling. He shares how mission trips that used soccer as a platform led to his first experience leading someone to faith, and how mentors at Biola and Wheaton helped him discover gifts for teaching and shepherding. That path wound through a vibrant season in youth and discipleship ministry, then into a lead role at a church embedded on the campus of Miami University, before years of daily prayer led back home to Colorado.Send us a textWe want to help you find your next steps in ministry.Connect here with EXCEL.

In this episode of The Valley Today Community Health series, host Janet Michael talks with Dr. Kevin Volkema, a board-certified family medicine physician at Valley Health Primary Care Greenwood, about the critical importance of primary care. From Chicago Suburbs to the Shenandoah Valley Dr. Kevin Volkema's journey into medicine began with a simple nudge. Growing up in Wheaton, Illinois, just outside Chicago, he received encouragement from two unlikely sources during high school: his own primary care physician and his chemistry teacher. Both pulled the 16-year-old aside and suggested he consider a career in medicine. Initially, Dr. Volkema didn't think much of their advice. However, during his sophomore year at the University of Illinois, he decided to take a leap of faith. He earned his EMT license and began volunteering at a clinic for the uninsured. That experience changed everything. "I really, really enjoyed that year," Dr. Volkema recalls. "Most importantly, I enjoyed working at that clinic for the uninsured. That's really where the foundation grew of this appreciation for community health and community service and this grassroots effort of making change for individuals." Today, Dr. Volkema serves as a board-certified family medicine physician at Valley Health Primary Care Greenwood. He splits his time between patient care and his role as regional medical director, bringing both clinical expertise and administrative insight to the growing Winchester community. He moved to the area this past summer with his wife, a neonatologist at Valley Health, after completing a stint in Charlottesville where she finished her fellowship. The Power of One: Understanding Primary Care's Impact When most people think of healthcare, they envision dramatic scenes from television—emergency rooms, operating theaters, intensive care units. Yet Dr. Volkema emphasizes that this high-stakes, acute care represents only a fraction of actual healthcare delivery. "The reality is that's not the majority of health or the majority of healthcare," he explains. Primary care, by contrast, serves as the quarterback, the home base, the front door to the healthcare system. The statistics backing this claim are remarkable. According to a major study published in JAMA, just one primary care physician for every 10,000 people produces measurable effects: decreased mortality, reduced hospitalization rates, fewer emergency room visits, lower healthcare costs, and improved chronic disease management. "One person could affect 10,000 lives," Dr. Volkema emphasizes. "That's a pretty huge impact." More Than Just Availability: The Three A's of Primary Care Dr. Volkema shares wisdom from one of his mentors, who told him that patients care about three things when choosing a primary care physician: they want someone who is able, affable, and available. Fail on any of these three, and success becomes impossible. Increasingly, availability has become the biggest challenge. This explains why many people default to urgent care facilities—they're open when patients need them. Nevertheless, urgent care cannot replace the continuity and comprehensive oversight that primary care provides. Valley Health has recognized this critical need and made substantial investments in primary care infrastructure. The organization has built new clinics, including the Greenwood location where Dr. Volkema practices, remodeled existing facilities, and aggressively recruited physicians to serve the growing community. Building Relationships That Save Lives Primary care thrives on continuity. Dr. Volkema particularly enjoys seeing entire families—parents, grandparents, and children—because understanding family dynamics provides crucial context for individual health. "Who you live with, how you sleep, if you're stressed, if you are eating a healthy diet, if you exercise—those are gonna influence everything," he notes. "But if I don't even understand the basics about who you are as a person or how your life works, how am I supposed to help you with your chronic medical conditions?" This relationship-building extends beyond physical health. Surprisingly, primary care serves as the largest provider of mental health services in the United States. When people experience depression, anxiety, or grief, they typically turn to their primary care physician first—not because PCPs are psychiatrists, but because patients trust them. "We've built that relationship. We've put in the effort to develop that connection with them so that when things do arise, they feel comfortable talking with us," Dr. Volkema explains. The Four Horsemen: Preventing Chronic Disease Dr. Volkema frames chronic disease management around four pillars, sometimes called "the four horsemen": cardiovascular disease, metabolic disease, neurodegenerative diseases, and cancer. Much of primary care's preventive focus centers on delaying or preventing these conditions from developing. Through lifestyle modifications and mindful attention to habits, patients can potentially push back diagnoses by a decade or more. Instead of developing a chronic condition at 55, thoughtful prevention might delay onset until 65 or 75. Importantly, Dr. Volkema stresses that it's never too late to start. Impressive research demonstrates that individuals 65 and older who begin exercise and weightlifting routines show measurable improvements in bone density, muscle mass, metabolic health, and overall function. "There's never a time that's too late to start," he assures patients of all ages. "It can always make a difference." Bridging the Gap Between Generalist and Specialist Primary care physicians sometimes face skepticism about their breadth of knowledge compared to specialists' depth. Dr. Volkema acknowledges this reality while highlighting two significant advantages primary care physicians possess. First, there's that crucial continuity of care. A specialist may know everything about one body system, but they lack the benefit of a 3-, 5-, or 15-year relationship with the patient. They don't understand the full context of someone's life, medical history, and individual circumstances. Second, primary care physicians identify and fill gaps in care. When Dr. Volkema sees patients who have only followed with specialists, he consistently discovers concerning omissions: missed cancer screenings, unknown medication interactions, and unassessed common medical conditions. "It's keeping an eye on all these different facets of an individual's life and an individual's care to make sure that there's not only a hyper fixation on one type of problem or one concern, and that all the other factors are still being addressed as well," he explains. Practical Access: Getting Care When You Need It Valley Health Primary Care Greenwood currently employs five providers—three physicians, one physician assistant, and one nurse practitioner. Three additional physicians will join the practice in 2026, with one starting in May and two more in July. All providers are accepting new patients, dispelling the common misconception that no one is taking new patients in the area. Patients can research providers at valleyhealthlink.com/primarycare or valleyhealthlink.com/findadoctor. The practice offers same-day appointments for urgent needs, though it's not a walk-in urgent care facility. Patients must call to schedule, but the practice holds multiple same-day slots specifically for this purpose. Additionally, a physician assistant dedicates her entire schedule to same-day patients, providing crucial access for both established and new patients. The Greenwood location also features a full-service lab open from 7:00 AM to 5:00 PM, Monday through Friday. Any Valley Health patient can have blood drawn there, regardless of which Valley Health physician ordered the tests. This convenience factor has proven particularly valuable for patients who work in different areas than where they live. When to Seek Care: Earlier Is Better Dr. Volkema emphasizes the importance of seeking care early in an illness. Treatments for conditions like influenza work most effectively when started soon after symptom onset. Tamiflu, for example, provides maximum benefit when begun early in the disease course—the same principle that applies to COVID antivirals like Paxlovid. The practice offers same-day testing for strep throat, influenza, and COVID-19, with results available in 15 to 20 minutes. This rapid turnaround helps patients get appropriate treatment quickly, especially important during seasons when multiple viruses circulate simultaneously. For individuals with complex medical needs who require immediate primary care—perhaps after a hospitalization or recent move to the area—Valley Health operates a transition clinic on Amherst Street near the hospital. This clinic provides bridge care while patients establish with a long-term primary care physician. The Path Forward As Winchester's Greenwood area continues its explosive growth—transforming from farmland into a bustling commercial district—Valley Health's investment in primary care infrastructure positions the community for better health outcomes. Dr. Volkema's message remains clear and hopeful: primary care access exists in the Shenandoah Valley, providers are accepting new patients, and establishing that crucial relationship with a primary care physician represents one of the most impactful health decisions anyone can make. Whether you're managing chronic conditions, seeking preventive care, or simply need someone who knows your complete health story, the door to primary care stands open. The question isn't whether you can find a primary care physician—it's whether you'll take that first step toward better health. After all, as the research shows, one physician really can change 10,000 lives. Perhaps it's time to let them change yours.

SHOW NOTES   In Podcast Episode 357, “The Primary Element of Proper Worship,” Kim discusses the story in 2 Kings 17 where a priest was brought back to Samaria from captivity to teach the new residents how to worship the Lord. Yet, either he left out the part that they had to worship the Lord only, OR the people thought they could continue their cafeteria approach to worship and just add the worship of this god to their menu. Big mistake! Let's see how this turns out and how we can apply this to our own lives.   Our focal passage for this episode is 2 Kings 17:16-41, with 37-41 as the focal verses:   37 Be careful at all times to obey the decrees, regulations, instructions, and commands that he wrote for you. You must not worship other gods. 38 Do not forget the covenant I made with you, and do not worship other gods. 39 You must worship only the Lord your God. He is the one who will rescue you from all your enemies.” 40 But the people would not listen and continued to follow their former practices. 41 So while these new residents worshiped the Lord, they also worshiped their idols. And to this day their descendants do the same.     WEEKLY ENGAGEMENT FEATURE:   If the Lord were to grade your worship focus, what grade would you receive and why?   Additional Resources and Scriptures:   3 “You must not have any other god but me. 4 “You must not make for yourself an idol of any kind or an image of anything in the heavens or on the earth or in the sea. 5 You must not bow down to them or worship them, for I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God who will not tolerate your affection for any other gods. (Exodus 20:3-5a) EMAIL — encouragingothersinlovingjesus@gmail.com Facebook Group - https://www.facebook.com/groups/encouragingothersinlovingjesus X - https://x.com/eoinlovingjesus?s=21&t=YcRjZQUpvP7FrJmm7Pe1hg INSTAGRAM -  https://www.instagram.com/encouragingothersinlovingjesus/ “Encouraging Others in Loving Jesus” YouTube Channel: Check it out at https://www.youtube.com/@EncouragingOthersInLovingJesus I WANT TO BEGIN A PERSONAL RELATIONSHIP WITH JESUS CHRIST.   RESOURCES USED FOR BOOK OF 1 & 2 Kings PODCASTS: “The Wiersbe Bible Commentary: The Complete Old Testament OT in One Volume” “Christ-Centered Exposition: Exalting Jesus in 1 & 2 Kings” by Tony Merida “The Tony Evans Bible Commentary: Advancing God's Kingdom Agenda” “Life Application Study Bible” “The Swindoll Study Bible: NLT” by Charles R.

SHOW NOTES   In Podcast Episode 356, “Becoming Whom You Worship,” Kim discusses the importance of choosing wisely what or whom we devote our reverence, focus, and energy. In today's passage, we see that the idolatrous Israelites' worship of worthless idols led to them becoming like what they worshipped. Yet, just as worshipping an unworthy object can turn us into what we worship, we can also become more like Christ when we choose to bow down and worship Him.   Our focal passage for this episode is 2 Kings 17:5-15, with 15 as the focal verse:   15 They rejected his decrees and the covenant he had made with their ancestors, and they despised all his warnings. They worshiped worthless idols, so they became worthless themselves. They followed the example of the nations around them, disobeying the Lord's command not to imitate them.     WEEKLY ENGAGEMENT FEATURE:   If you become whom you worship, who will you be? Would you be proud to be that person?   Additional Resources and Scriptures:   "What people revere, they resemble, either for ruin or for restoration.” (G. K. Beale) 4 Their idols are merely things of silver and gold, shaped by human hands. 5 They have mouths but cannot speak, and eyes but cannot see. 6 They have ears but cannot hear, and noses but cannot smell. 7 They have hands but cannot feel, and feet but cannot walk, and throats but cannot make a sound. 8 And those who make idols are just like them, as are all who trust in them. (Ps. 115:4-8) 16 But whenever someone turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away. 17 For the Lord is the Spirit, and wherever the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. 18 So all of us who have had that veil removed can see and reflect the glory of the Lord. And the Lord—who is the Spirit—makes us more and more like him as we are changed into his glorious image. (2 Corinthians 3:16-18) 29 For God knew his people in advance, and he chose them to become like his Son, so that his Son would be the firstborn among many brothers and sisters.

SHOW NOTES   In Podcast Episode 355, “We're Not Graded on a Curve,” Kim discusses the dangers of Christ-followers comparing their walk to others. In today's text, we see the story of someone who did evil, but his evil was not as bad as others. May we get our eyes on Christ, the only example we should be chasing, and get off the comparison wheel.   Our focal passage for this episode is 2 Kings 17:1-4, with 2 as the focal verse:   2 He did what was evil in the Lord's sight, but not to the same extent as the kings of Israel who ruled before him.     WEEKLY ENGAGEMENT FEATURE:   Spend a few prayerful minutes reading Matthew 5-7.   Additional Resources and Scriptures:   48 But you are to be perfect, even as your Father in heaven is perfect. (Matthew 5:48) 1 So now there is no condemnation for those who belong to Christ Jesus. (Romans 8:1) 5 You must have the same attitude that Christ Jesus had. 6 Though he was God, he did not think of equality with God as something to cling to. 7 Instead, he gave up his divine privileges; he took the humble position of a slave and was born as a human being. When he appeared in human form, 8 he humbled himself in obedience to God and died a criminal's death on a cross. (Philippians 2:5-8) 8 God saved you by his grace when you believed. And you can't take credit for this; it is a gift from God. 9 Salvation is not a reward for the good things we have done, so none of us can boast about it. 10 For we are God's masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago.

Born and raised in the Pacific Northwest, novelist Shelby Van Pelt now makes her home in Wheaton, Illinois. Her debut novel, "Remarkably Bright Creatures," has been a huge hit, reportedly selling more than two million copies. It's also being made into a movie by Netflix. We'll talk with Van Pelt about her life and work.

Picture this: the gods have come and gone, dynasties have risen and face-planted, cities have popped up and crumbled, tourists have come, posed, and posted a million thirst traps on Instagram… but the Sphinx is still just sitting there like, “Yeah, I'll wait.”Today we're heading to Giza to talk about the world's most famous stone cat with a people head: the Great Sphinx of Egypt. It's massive, it's mysterious, it's eroding faster than our faith in humanity, and it sits at the crossroads of legit science, wild speculation, and whatever the hell Edgar Cayce was doing.We're going to walk through what the Sphinx actually is, what we think we know about its history, how old it might be, why people keep insisting there's a secret Atlantean library under its paws, what modern tech like ground-penetrating radar and fancy satellite scans are actually showing under the Giza plateau, and why so many folks see Dr. Zahi Hawass as the final boss of “Nothing To See Here, Move Along.”Strap on the sunscreen, adjust your tinfoil nemes, and get ready for Hysteria 51.Special thanks to this week's research sources:Main References Mentioned in the EpisodeLehner, Mark.The Complete Pyramids: Solving the Ancient Mysteries.London: Thames & Hudson, 1997.Hawass, Zahi.The Secrets of the Sphinx: Restoration Past and Present.Cairo: American University in Cairo Press, 1998.Jordan, Paul.Riddles of the Sphinx.New York: New York University Press, 1998.Gauri, K.
