Taking A Closer Look

Back to Basics this Summer

With the start of summer this time offers us a wonderful opportunity to focus on simpler matters that will help us recharge and rebuild ourselves for the upcoming year.  We all need a slower time, a time that takes us away from the fast-paced lives that we all experience now in our modern world.  We must make it a priority to get back to basics so that we can build ourselves up and when we think in terms of our physical bodies this is certainly the case, we become tired and fatigue sets in and we struggle as a result.  If this is true physically then it stands to reason that it is also true spiritually too.  Many times, we struggle spiritually in the same way becoming tired and somewhat burned out.  There are things that we can do to help in this area and in today's episode we are going to list 5 back to basic approaches we can take to see this become a reality.  These are not too demanding or complicated but will help to provide us with a daily and weekly rhythm that can be sustained all at helping us become stronger and better in the process.

Striking Discoveries that Support the Bible

It is very easy to be a skeptic who doubts the reliability of the Bible.  We can make statements against it as many do and have done throughout history, but we must stop and ask if there is any merit to their doubts and claims?  Are they expressing facts or just making biased statements against something that they themselves have never read or investigated or examined in any way but take the stance that it has to be untrue just because.  We are trying to look at what the Bible provides and examine whether or not it can be trusted, but before we can trust something can we determine whether or not what is says even happened and took place?  The good news is yes; we most certainly can because of different discoveries that have been made throughout the centuries that reveal to us that the people, places and things that it lists are rooted in actual historical times and events and are not myth or legend.  That is a huge point to make and we set out to do so in today's episode.  We hope you enjoy and that it might spark further interest for our listeners and they set out to dig even deeper into this topic.

A Growing Problem: World in Need of Vitamin D

Have you ever felt tired or perhaps more tired than usual?  What about achy or sore or like you just cannot bounce back feeling overrun and weak?  If so, then you might not be sick or battling some kind of illness, no, the culprit might be something your body needs but is no longer getting.  Vitamin D is responsible for a great deal of the processes found within the human body ranging from our mood to our muscles then to our mental sharpness as well too and still many others, but when we are not producing this critical vitamin, we suffer in many ways.  Our modern society that has made wonderful strides forward in terms of advancements, while enjoying these, at the same time due to those "improvements," is struggling to get enough of this crucial component to life that comes directly from the sun primarily.  We are witnessing a growing global epidemic centered around our lack of vitamin d today being a worldwide phenomenon.  This episode is going to address this hoping to bring about some awareness and also seek to provide some helpful tips on how to obtain more of this ever-crucial vitamin.

Numbers Don't Lie

This episode will focus on the fact that numbers do not lie as we commonly hear in the world today.  We can trust numbers and know that 1+1 will always equal 2.  This is comforting for us and lets us know we can have confidence in them, but when it comes to the miracles of Jesus, we can actually apply the same principle to show how He was able to do the impossible because numbers do not lie.  John 11 details specific facts that reveal what was taking place but with the help of physics, physiology and some calculations we are shown the unmistakable reality of what happened on that day.  Jesus displayed a power that no other human being has ever displayed revealing to us exactly who He was and is even to this day.  The people came to believe in Him, but His enemies were even more opposed to Him after this point where this miracle serves as the tipping point that would eventually result in the crucifixion of Jesus on Good Friday.  We hope you enjoy this show!!!

Cause and Effect

Today's show is going to introduce the topic and principle of Cause and Effect.  This is a foundational issue, but one that far too many people are not aware of or do not give enough thought to leading to negative issues here and now.  Those can be cleared up and more when we start to think along the lines of cause and effect.  It can help us in our day to day lives by solving problems through this way of thinking.  This is one benefit but perhaps more importantly when we get to our lives of faith it can help to ground us in what is true seeing that in order for there to be something, it had to be created and caused by a Being that has infinite power and wisdom due to the complexity of what has been created.  This topic can be challenging but we try to keep things clear and simple.  We hope you enjoy!!!
