Steve Britt and I talk about how scientists take to new heights to answer the question, "Are we alone in the universe?" We discuss state-of-the-art technology designed to take space exploration further than ever before and posit that perhaps mankind has been looking for life in all the wrong places.   This was keyed off an article in the National Geographic about this subject.  

Gary Petty and I talk about his recently published book Christendom.

Available on  Amazon

Here is a description of the book.

For hundreds of years after the death of Jesus, the people who professed to be His followers faced persecution from the Roman Empire. Then a miracle seemed to happen to this fragmented and diverse religious movement. Emperor Constantine declared that he was a Christian, and then through the following decades attempted to create a unified Christianity.

These works reflect Petty's focus on understanding the historical contexts that have shaped modern Christianity and providing insights into personal spiritual growth.

A few years back, I recorded this editorial that I wrote in my weekly report to the Church.   I find the Passover season, the First Festival of the Year and the subsequent Holy Days to be a great encouragement and giver of strength spiritually and emotionally.

Bruce Brill is a former analyst for the US National Security Agency called NSA.

During his tenure in the early 1970s he became aware of intelligence indicating imminent attacks on Israel by Egypt and Syria prior to the Yom Kippur war in 1973.

He asserts that this critical information was withheld from Israeli authorities and Egypt and Syria attacked Israel on Yom Kippur.  More than 2660 Israeli soldiers were killed.   

The surprise attack on Israel on October 7, 2023 exactly 50 years almost to the day 1300 Israeli's were killed and more than a 130 were taken hostage..  This was also a surprise attack similar to Yom Kippur 11973,  

Bruce shares a fascinating story with me.  He wrote a book Deceit of an Ally and discusses it with me.

The books is available on Amazon.  It's a good read and flows like a spy thriller.
