Sex. In a world overwhelmingly obsessed with it, why is the church so silent about it? With her new book Sex, Jesus, and the Conversations the Church Forgot, New York Times bestselling author and speaker Mo Isom aims to break the silence.

With raw vulnerability and a bold spirit, she shares her own sexual
testimony, opening up the conversation about misguided rule-following, virginity, temptation, porn, promiscuity, false sexpectations and more, calling readers back to God’s original design for sex—a way to worship and glorify him.

From the young person tangled up in an addiction to pornography or feeling pressured to go further in a relationship, to the person who saved themselves for marriage only to be confused and disappointed after their big day, or one of the many people who casually watches sex play out on TV and wonders why they’re dissatisfied with the real thing, and for every confused or hurting person in-between, Isom shows a better way to talk about sex.

“Our immeasurable worth as image-bearing creations of God and our sexual identity have been unified since the beginning of creation,” writes Isom. “And if we learn about one but not the other, or value one above the other, we unwind two truths about our very nature that were never meant to know divide.”

John Huss (also known as Jan Hus) was born about 1369-1372 in Husinec ("Goose Town"), Bohemia, which town gave him his surname (Hus means "Goose"). In 1394, Anne of Bohemia, the wife of King Richard II of England returned to Prague after her husband's death. She and her attendants had been influenced by John Wycliffe's beginning the Reformation in England. Huss, in his early twenties, read Wycliffe's works, caught the vision and decided to reform the church in Bohemia. He became a scholar, receiving a master's degree in 1396. He was ordained to the priesthood, and became rector of the Bethlehem Chapel in 1402. There he began teaching his ideas to reform the Catholic Church to follow the Bible. He wrote a tractate called "Six Errors" and tacked it to the church door of the Bethlehem Chapel.

First part in a two episode look at the "popular culture" theories as to the location/destination of the Ark. 

In this episode we discuss Egypt and are quickly on our way to discussing multiple places it could be... until, we run into the Knights Templar and Oak Island and we completely derail!

We have titled this episode 3 in our Ark series, but, it could just as easily be titled "History of Knights Templar", or "Oak Island."

Communication Device:

Some firmly believe that the Ark of the Covenant was a device for communicating with peoples unknown, although to the Israelites on their exodus, it was a means to communicate with God. While these theories are speculative at best, they are reasonably well–thought out, based on writings and accounts in various ancient texts, including the Bible.

When active, it was said that the image of God would appear in between the two cherubs that reside on top of the Ark, known as the Mercy Seat. There are several takes on what this may have been in reality.

Some argue that the appearances of God in the Bible, for example, are often depicted as flames or smoke or bright lights. Given that many believe the Ark to have been some kind of electrical device (which we will look at later), it is possible that when it was “activated,” there would have been sparks and flashes that some may have taken as a sign of God.

A somewhat more extreme theory is that the Ark was literally a communication device that created a hologram of the person on the other end. To those who were not at all familiar with such technologies, the suggestion that this was, in fact, God would have made perfect sense to them.

Manna Machine:

According to legend and ancient writings, during their 40-year exodus, the Israelites survived by obtaining sustenance from something called manna. This manna would fall from the sky, apparently on “the command” of the Ark itself. According to authors Rodney Dale and George Sassoon, the Ark was a working machine that produced this manna. It was essentially, as the title of their book suggests, a manna machine.

The authors, using the Kabbalah as their source, claimed that the Ark housed a machine that was nuclear-powered and would produce manna on a daily basis, very similar to modern projects looking to supply algae as food. They even went as far as to say that this is where the origins of the seventh day being a day of rest stem from, as after running for six consecutive days, the machine would have to be taken apart and cleaned so that it remained in good working order.

Electrical Capacitor:

When modern scientists and electrical engineers study the dimensions and materials of the Ark as dictated in the Bible, most agree that in reality, it resembles very much some kind of electrical capacitor.

The Ark was made from wood and then completely covered in gold, inside and out. The wood could have essentially acted as an insulator between the positive charge (the outer plating) and the negative charge (the inner plating). The cherubs were placed on top of the lid of the Ark, itself also plated in gold on both sides. The positive cherub would be attached to the outer plating, while under the negative cherub would be another layer of wood to act as an insulator, with a rod connecting the negative cherub to the inner plating.

If this were true, it would perhaps explain why there are so many stories of people dying when coming into contact with the Ark. For example, the story of Moses’s brother, Aaron, whose two sons were “burned from the inside” when a lightning bolt shot from the Ark and into their nose, would perhaps be explained by the fact that the Ark was electrically charged and volatile.

A Weapon:

There are many deaths associated with the Ark. For example, only those with the correct breastplate and gown could approach it safely. From a modern perspective, the plate and gown might have been protective clothing fr

The greatest and most sought after treasure of all time is what we are tackling in this episode of beyond the walls... Join us as we take a Biblical look at the Ark of the Covenant as well as theories as to it disappearance from searching the scripture.

We are privileged to be joined by writer, speaker & author Tammy Nischan on this episode.

Tammy talks to us about her journey, and how her faith met an adversary in the form of loss.
