Pt.3 - Passing Satan's Tests
Hello dear friends!
This is the final episode in the series, "Navigating Life's Disappointments". On this episode we take a look at the tests Job endured and what that can teach us about seasons of despair and disappointment. We all have these moments in the life of faith and I believe there is an unlikely antidote to times of despair; courage.
I hope you all have enjoyed this series. The journey continues! Jesus is good.

pt.2 - Dreams and Idols
Hey friends,
In this second part of the series I unpack the connection between ambition, dreams, and idols and how often our misplaced dreams can harm our spiritual lives. This continues the discussion on 'navigating life's disappointments'. We all have dreams, expectations, and hopes. Sometimes in life's twists and turns we can experience heartbreak, which left alone can derail our faith. As we learn to grieve our lost dreams and recognize the idols in our lives we can learn to see the goodness God has given in the here and now.
Listen and Enjoy!

Why Therapy is So Popular
Hey friends! On this episode I unpack the rise of therapy, the positives of therapy, and what the Church can learn from the popularity of therapy.
I myself have benefitted from counseling over the years but I also have seen how counseling alone may possibly lead to incomplete healing. I believe there is a way forward where the benefits of therapy can be embraced, the Church can listen well, and people can find even deeper healing in community.
Listen and enjoy!

Finding Serenity in an Election Year
Greetings dear friends,
On this episode Dora and I unpack an important topic around this coming year 2024 Presidential Election. How we we find peace in the midst of chaos? What should be our posture in this year?
Listen and may the peace of Jesus Christ dwell in your heart!
Serenity Prayer:
God grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change;
courage to change the things I can;
and wisdom to know the difference.
Living one day at a time;
Enjoying one moment at a time;
Accepting hardships as the pathway to peace;
Taking, as He did, this sinful world
as it is, not as I would have it;
Trusting that He will make all things right
if I surrender to His Will;
That I may be reasonably happy in this life
and supremely happy with Him
Forever in the next.
Amen.

Seasonal Words from Jesus
Hey friends,
Recently, I had the privilege of visiting the Abbey of Gethsemani for a day retreat for hiking and time with God. During this time the Holy Spirit spoke a couple words to my heart that were for this current season I am in. I believe God is gracious to give us words, themes, or images during certain times of our lives in order to prepare us or to help us understand a particular season. On this episode I unpack those words God has been speaking to me as I hike the trails of the Abbey. Listen and enjoy!

Revitalizing Churches: Integrated Community and Participation Discipleship
Hello dear friends! On this episode I continue to discuss culture change as I did on the previous episode, "Why Start New Churches". Two aspects of transformative community are a must if you want to see a church revitalized across the Western context: Integrated Community and Participation Discipleship. Each is needed to see fellow believers together and growing towards deeper life with God.
I hope this episode blesses you and all my fellow apostles out there!

Where do you get real? Confession
I think all Christians agree that confessing your sins is vital to our salvation and the continued growth of our souls. Yet, christians differ in how we understand how we should confess our sins. Do we confess one time and then get baptized? Do we confess just to God or also before another human person? What do we do with sins after baptism? The RCC has a clear system and teaching on confession and dealing with sin that I believe is very helpful in this modern age. Let’s take a look at the sacrament of confession, see what holy scripture teaches about confessing sins, and examine our lives for how we should live our life with God.

Media Mind Control 2 | SC Archives
1. Measure your head.
Gather the dimensions of your scalp using a soft tape measure, measuring from the middle of your forehead to the base of your skull.
2. Unroll tinfoil.
Using clean, premium-brand foil that has not been used to wrap food, measure double the length from your forehead to skull, plus four inches. Detach the foil using the serrated edge of the box and fold the foil in half, shiny side facing out.
3. Mold the hat to your head.
Carefully place the sheet of foil over your head and scrunch it down to follow the shape of your skull, as would a shower cap or helmet. If any exposed scalp remains, attach additional pieces of foil to cover; adhere using clear tape.
4. At each temple, poke a quarter-inch hold on either side of the foil.
5. Create a chin strap.
Unroll an additional three-inch strip of foil and fold it over twice, creating a durable, double-folded chin strap.
6. Thread the chin strap through the holes and attach with clear tape.
7. Don your hat.
Wear your hat in any place and anytime you wish to screen your thoughts from extraterrestrial-alien, governmental, or other types of surveillance.
Be Aware
Tinfoil hats are based on science: A layer of aluminum protects whatever lies beneath it from radio-frequency electromagnetic radiation.
For maximum protection, wrap foil around not just the head, but the entire face and skull.

● Microwave weapon using RF radiation

● Cuba Sonic attack on U.S. Embassy Workers. (RF weapon)
https://www.nytimes.com/2018/09/01/science/sonic-attack-cuba-microwave.html
○ “More recently, the American military itself sought to develop microwave arms that could invisibly beam painfully loud booms and even spoken words into people’s heads. The aims were to disable attackers and wage psychological warfare.”
○ “The dimensions of the human head, scientists say, make it a fairly good antenna for picking up microwave signals.”
■ From the abstract National Library of Medicine, “Brain cells and tissues demodulate the cell-phone's audio frequencies from the radio frequency carrier. Low audio frequencies in the ranges of alpha and beta waves affect these waves and thereby influence brain function. These effects state the case for a precautionary policy.”
○ In 1990s there was classified (recently declassified intelligence) that indicates; “there is intelligence information from 2012 associating the hostile country to which Mr. Beck traveled in the late 1990s with a high-powered microwave system weapon that may have the ability to weaken, intimidate, or kill an enemy over time and without leaving evidence.”-National Security Memo

6 Ways to Reduce Anxiety | SC Archives
- Think about Reducing Your Caffeine
- Power Down Your Screens and Social Media

Bonus Tips:
Consider a Retreat to begin new practices and ask God where life can be renewed.
Think about your lifestyle choices. How you structure your life in terms of career, finance, and time can be a source of anxiety. Live below your means. Value time and relationships over stuff and money.
Be compassionate towards others with anxiety but remind them of the hope that God can bring healing and restoration
