In this episode, we look at a fascinating scientific discovery: the “zinc spark”—a burst of light seen under the microscope at the moment a human egg is activated and a new life begins. We walk through what researchers have found about this spark, how it marks the beginning of embryonic development, and why it beautifully illustrates the God who first said, “Let there be light” (Genesis 1:3).

From there, we open Scripture and trace the theme of light: God as light, Christ as the Light of the world, and believers called out of darkness into His marvelous light. We talk about what this means for the sanctity of life from conception, and how even the smallest details of biology reflect God’s order, care, and creativity.

I also tie this into my everyday work in public safety technology—helping agencies with emergency vehicle lighting, scene lighting, and handheld lighting for first responders. Just as physical light helps save lives in dark and chaotic emergencies, the Light of Christ shines into spiritual darkness to rescue souls. This episode is an invitation to see creation, science, your job, and your daily life as part of a larger story: the God who is still shining light into darkness—physically, morally, and spiritually.

“Most of us spend our days trying to stay in control — at work, at home, and even in our walk with God. But what if the greatest victories in life don’t come from holding on… but from letting go? Today we’re talking about surrender — not weakness, but the strength that comes when we trust God fully, even in our careers, our decisions, and our daily struggles
