Podcasts about The Whole Story

If you're a Christian you have a testimony and the Lord can use it in powerful ways. What a privilege it is to speak of God's grace that saves us and changes our lives. In Galatians chapter one we run across the Apostle Paul's testimony. We'll notice who he was before he was saved, and can't help but see the big difference after God got a hold of his life.

Many people believe that breast cancer is primarily caused by genetics, but did you know that only 5-10% of cases are linked to inherited mutations like BRCA1, BRCA2, and CHEK2? The truth is, your overall health and risk of recurrence are influenced by key biological processes such as detoxification, methylation, and inflammation—and these are things you can actively support with your nutrition and lifestyle choices. In this episode of Better Than Before Breast Cancer, I break down how these processes impact your health, how to recognize the signs of imbalance in your body, and why a low-carbohydrate diet can be a powerful tool in regulating glucose, insulin, and inflammation. I also explain why nutrition isn't about restriction—it's about giving your body the support it needs to function at its best. You'll learn:✔️ Why genetics are only part of the breast cancer risk equation✔️ How detoxification, methylation, and inflammation work together to protect your body✔️ Common signs that these processes may not be working efficiently✔️ How blood sugar regulation impacts detox, inflammation, and cancer risk✔️ How a low-carb, nutrient-dense diet supports healing and reduces recurrence risk✔️ Simple, actionable steps to support your body's detox, inflammation, and methylation pathways This episode will empower you to understand your unique genetic blueprint and how to make lifestyle changes that align with your body's needs. It's not about fear—it's about taking control of your health and making choices that truly support healing. Resources & Links:

You know how sometimes you might indulge in a bit too much junk food, or maybe the kids aren't acing their tests, or perhaps you're navigating the single life? Hold up—before you start to worry, there's a seemingly scientific explanation for all of it, and it points to one place: our brains. Neuroscience has become the go-to for decoding life's issues, spanning medicine, economics, politics, and education. But hold your horses—some experts are raising the red flag on “neuromania,” the tendency to oversimplify our behaviors down to just brain activity. In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

Introduction: The Problem We Can't Ignore We live in a world where the food we eat is supposed to nourish us, but what if it's actually making us sick? Pesticides, soil degradation, and nutrient-depleted crops are all part of our modern food system, contributing to rising cases of neurological disorders, metabolic diseases, and immune dysfunction. The research is clear: exposure to certain pesticides has been linked to cognitive decline, Parkinson's disease, and an increased cancer risk. At the same time, the way we farm today is stripping our food of the vital nutrients our ancestors took for granted. So, the question isn't just about avoiding chemicals—it's about finding food that truly fuels life. The solution? Organic, regenerative, and locally grown produce. Let's break down the science and give you real reasons why it's never been more important to care about where your food comes from.     The Science Behind Pesticides and Health Risks  The Hidden Dangers of Conventional Farming Pesticide residues in conventional food contribute to long-term health risks, including cognitive decline and neurodevelopmental disorders in children. According to Holzman (2012) in Organic Food Conclusions Don't Tell the Whole Story, "Pesticide dietary risk is a function of many factors, including the number of residues, their levels, and pesticide toxicity." (Holzman, 2012).  Organophosphate pesticides, commonly used in industrial agriculture, have been directly linked to Parkinson's disease. As Mie et al. (2017) state in Human Health Implications of Organic Food and Organic Agriculture, "Epidemiological studies have reported adverse effects of certain pesticides on children's cognitive development at current levels of exposure." (Mie et al., 2017).  Pregnant women consuming conventional produce showed higher levels of pyrethroid insecticides in their bodies compared to those eating organic. Curl et al. (2019) in Effect of a 24-week Randomized Trial of an Organic Produce Intervention found that "3-Phenoxybenzoic acid (3-PBA, a biomarker for pyrethroids) concentrations were significantly higher in conventional produce consumers compared to organic consumers." (Curl et al., 2019).      The Cancer Connection The International Agency for Research on Cancer has classified several pesticides used in conventional farming—such as glyphosate and malathion—as likely carcinogens. Hemler et al. (2018) in Organic Foods for Cancer Prevention—Worth the Investment? found that "Participants with the highest frequency of organic food consumption had a 25% lower risk of being diagnosed with cancer during follow-up compared with those with the lowest frequency." (Hemler et al., 2018).     The Nutrient Density Solution: More Than Just Pesticide-Free  Higher Nutrients in Organic & Regenerative Foods  Organic fruits and vegetables contain higher levels of vitamin C, essential minerals like magnesium and iron, and more powerful antioxidants. Maloney (2014) in Comparative Study on Nutritional Quality and Detection of Pesticide Residues states, "Organic foods are better in taste, appearance, firmness, and nutrient content when compared to conventional foods." (Maloney, 2014). Organically grown produce has 20-40% higher levels of antioxidants than conventionally grown produce, which help protect against inflammation and chronic diseases. According to Mie et al. (2017), "Differences in the composition between organic and conventional crops include a modestly higher content of phenolic compounds in organic fruit and vegetables." (Mie et al., 2017).     The Simple Steps to Better Food Go Organic Whenever Possible – Reduce your pesticide exposure and increase the nutrient density of your food.  Support Local & Regenerative Farms – Look for farmers using soil-restoring practices that make food healthier.  Grow Your Own – Even a small backyard garden or balcony pot can produce pesticide-free, nutrient-rich food.  Buy Seasonal Produce – Seasonal food is fresher, richer in nutrients, and often grown closer to home. Prioritize the Dirty Dozen – If you can't go 100% organic, at least choose organic versions of the most pesticide-laden produce, like strawberries, spinach, and apples.     Conclusion: Take Back Control of Your Health  Our food choices today impact our health for decades to come. Science shows that organic, regenerative, and locally grown food isn't just a trendy choice—it's a necessity. From reducing pesticides to boosting essential nutrients, switching to better food sources is one of the most powerful steps you can take to live a longer, healthier life.  So, are you ready to make the change?     Bibliography: Holzman, D.

Send us a textAs we close out this three-month journey through the book of Acts, I want to express my heartfelt gratitude to every one of you who joined me in what for me was my first time trough the book of Acts in its entirety. Studying the Bible in a verse-by-verse manner, comes with its joys and challenges. While it allows us to appreciate every detail of God's Word, there's also the risk of getting so caught up in the small frames that we miss the larger story.The book of Acts, like many parts of the Bible, is a story—a grand, overarching narrative of God's unstoppable work. Think of it as a film. A movie is made up of thousands of frames, each meaningful on its own. But if we focus solely on one frame, we miss the beauty and power of the complete story.That's why today, in this final episode of our study series, we'll zoom out and see Acts as a whole. Here's the big picture:Jesus is working by the Holy Spirit, through His people, to spread the Gospel from Jerusalem to the ends of the earth.Through it all, we see Jesus continuing His ministry—not in person, as in the Gospel of Luke, but through the Holy Spirit, empowering ordinary people.Key Themes from ActsThe Power of the Holy Spirit.The Church's Mission.The Role of LeadershipThe Unstoppable GospelThe Inclusion of the GentilesThe Big Picture.The Saviour went up (Jesus ascended).The Holy Spirit came down (at Pentecost).The church went out (to spread the Gospel).The lost came in (as people believed and were saved).Acts doesn't end with a grand resolution. Instead, it closes with Paul under house arrest in Rome, boldly preaching the Gospel to anyone who would listen. This open-ended conclusion reminds us that the story isn't over. The work begun in Acts continues today—through us.A Final Challenge I challenge you to see yourself in this story. God still works through ordinary people to accomplish extraordinary things. You don't need a degree or a title to share the Gospel. You just need faith, courage, and the willingness to say, “Here I am, Lord. Use me.”The book of Acts is a story of God's unstoppable mission, and you're invited to be a part of it.Thank you for journeying through Acts with me. May our time together in this season inspire you to live boldly for Christ, empowered by the Holy Spirit, as we continue to proclaim the Good News to a world in need.For an ad-free version of the podcast plus the opportunity to enjoy hours of exclusive content and two bonus episodes a month and also help keep the Bible Project Daily Podcast free  for listeners everywhere at;patreon.com/JeremyMcCandlessSubscribe here to receive my new church history podcast every few weeks at.https://thehistoryofthechristianchurch.buzzsprout.com"Ask Me Anything": What Do You Want From God?Welcome to Ask Me Anything, the podcast where we give you biblical answers to...Listen on: Apple Podcasts SpotifySupport the showJeremy McCandless is creating podcasts and devotional resources | PatreonHelp us continue making great content for listeners everywhere.https://thebibleproject.buzzsprout.com

In military terms, surrender is a bad thing. It means you've failed or given up. But in spiritual terms, surrender is the best decision you'll ever make! As Pastor J.D. continues our series called, The Whole Story, he's describing what it means to submit yourself completely to God's will and direction. We're looking at the story of Joshua and the battle of Jericho and learning how to give up control to God's leading.

As believers, we know we're saved by God's grace alone, not by any works that we do. But why does the Bible give us so many rules and regulations? Pastor J.D. answers that question as he describes the purpose of these Old Testament instructions. We'll be learning more about the Ten Commandments as we continue our series called, The Whole Story.

Many people think of the Bible as just a book of rules and regulations. And, the Old Testament tends to be especially intimidating, because it appears to be full of impossible standards we can never live up to. As we continue our series called, The Whole Story, Pastor J.D. explains the true purpose behind all of God's standards. It's an important reminder about our desperate need of God's grace.

Yom Kippur, or the Day of Atonement, is the holiest of all the biblical feasts. And traditionally, the activities of this solemn day centered around two goats. One was sacrificed, while the other was sent into the wilderness as a scapegoat, symbolically carrying away the sins of the people. As Pastor J.D. continues our series called, The Whole Story, he explains how this ancient practice points to Jesus!

As we continue our series called, The Whole Story, Pastor J.D. dives into a part of the Bible you don't usually hear a lot about: the book of Leviticus. We're learning how the traditional celebration of Yom Kippur serves as a sign—pointing us to Jesus!

The story of Joseph and his many-colored coat is one of the more popular accounts in the Old Testament. But it's more than just an interesting story. From being sold into slavery by his brothers, thrown into prison, and then rising to power and being reunited with his family, Joseph's life is a beautiful picture of God's sovereign plan. And that's our subject as Pastor J.D. continues our series titled, The Whole Story.

It's easy to say you trust God. But when things go wrong, and your child gets a scary diagnosis or your business goes under, it's hard to see how that fits into God's plan. Pastor J.D. is tackling those doubts as he continues our overview of the Bible called, The Whole Story. We're getting an important reminder of God's sovereign control in every situation.

Our culture tells us that the key to happiness is finding your soul mate. But then, when marriage gets hard, we start looking for something else to fill us up, like a career, children, or a hobby. But it never really satisfies! Pastor J.D. is pointing us to the only source of lasting joy as he continues our series called, The Whole Story.

The movies often make it seem like romance is the answer to all of our problems. Guy kisses girl, and they live happily ever after. But we all know that real life doesn't work that way! No matter how happy your relationship might be, it's not a guarantee of a happy life. As Pastor J.D. continues our series called, The Whole Story, he's explaining the key to true, lasting joy, regardless of your relationship status.

When you picture “the good life,” what comes to mind? Financial security? A happy marriage? A successful career? None of those things are wrong on their own. But Pastor J.D. explains that they will never truly bring you satisfaction. We're discovering the only source of security and significance as we continue our series called, The Whole Story.

What do you do when the thing you've been dreaming about doesn't fulfill you like you thought it would? Pastor J.D. addresses that question as he continues our series called, The Whole Story.

Noah's Ark is one of the most popular stories in the Bible. It's an especially big hit with kids. In fact, you've probably seen picture books and nursery décor with the animals going up two-by-two into the boat. But when you look at the actual story as it's told in the Bible, it's definitely not G-rated! As we continue our series called, The Whole Story, Pastor J.D. explains what Noah's story reveals about our sin, God's wrath, and the plan of redemption.

If you asked a few people to name their favorite aspect of God's character, you'd probably hear things like, “his love” or “his grace.” His wrath usually won't be at the top of the list! But Pastor J.D. explains that God's wrath isn't something to be covered up, ignored, or minimized. It's actually an important, beautiful part of who God is! And we'll see why that is as we unpack the story of Noah's Ark. It's part of our series called, The Whole Story.

It doesn't take more than about ten minutes of listening to the news to know that our world is pretty messed up. Between wars, hate crimes, and mass shootings, it can all seem pretty overwhelming! But how did things get this way, and is there any way to fix it? Pastor J.D. tackles those questions as he continues our series called, The Whole Story.

Most people like to think of themselves as a “pretty good person.” But Pastor J.D. is challenging that notion as he continues our study in Genesis. He's showing that, if we're honest with ourselves, we know we're not as good as we should be. So why is that, and what can we do about it? It's part of our series called, The Whole Story.

If you grew up in the Western world, you're probably familiar with the Genesis account of creation. But why did this story get included in the Bible? Is it just for the sake of our curiosity, so we know where we came from? Pastor J.D. explains that this story actually has much bigger implications. As we continue our series called, The Whole Story, we're discovering what the creation account reveals about God's design for us.

Almost every culture and every religion has their own creation story—their idea of how everything started. And that story says a lot about how the people in that culture view themselves. Well, Pastor J.D. is unpacking the true story of creation. He's explaining how we were created—and what that says about our ultimate purpose. It's part of our series called, The Whole Story.

When you pick up a Bible, you're actually holding sixty-six books, written by more than thirty authors over a span of thousands of years. And yet, it all tells one story! And that's the subject of our series titled, The Whole Story. We're going to go from Genesis to Revelation, hitting most of the major events in-between. But before we get to Genesis, Pastor J.D. kicks off the study with a quick stop in the book of Psalms.
