    Please, if I could have a moment..

    #WhenEarthStoodStill is my idea of remembrance for everybody sharing their thoughts about 9/11 on this 25th Anniversary of that fateful day.  I hope we'll have greater lucidity about that day, and through this we can remember the victims more thoroughly as we're all truly transported back to that moment.. when Earth stood still.

    I'll start.  Then you go.  

    I was at East Junior High in Wisconsin Rapids, Wisconsin..

    The school had recently placed new televisions in every classroom, with cable hooked up.  Strange timing.. because then, this craziness happened.. and the school day was canceled.. all we did for the rest of each class was watch the news.. I remember reporters pondering whether it was an accident.. that a pilot could run a plane into a massive tower like that.. 'these idiots..' I thought.. I knew exactly what this was.. and I WAS SO MAD!  ..then we all watched as the second plane hit..  'JESUS!  WHAT IS HAPPENING!?'

    What do I do?  'I'm not old enough to fight.. but I want to!'

    It took four years, but I finally got my chance.. on the four year anniversary, 9/11/2005 I shipped out to San Antonio, TX to Lackland AFB for Basic Training in the US Air Force.  I would probably not have joined the military if it weren't for all those people who lost their lives on that tragic day.

    It's been one wild experience after another since.. and I just hope and pray we all unite a bit more, love a bit more, stand up for what's RIGHT a bit more.. because we remember..

    Those who forget history are doomed to repeat it.  We remember 9/11 - and more importantly, we remember all the lives lost on that day and in subsequent retaliatory conflicts..  May your memories be a blessing.

    #WhenEarthStoodStill

    I hope you all will take time to look at the drone show that was put on display at the site of the Twin Towers!  This is a skyline that hasn’t been seen in 25 years and yet it was revived with the same amount of drone lights as the amount of victims that were taken on that day.  

    Please be sure to check it out.

    Love and Shalom Shalom!

  • The Way of the Exile.. Thriving in Persia! - Part 2

    Send us Fan Mail

    Today's episode continues right where we left off!  

    There's a brief mention of national politics and a call for unity behind common sense legislation, but after that it's straight into Esther!

    Fitting timing this is!  Only two days away from Rosh HaShanah, we have this awesome story of redemption as the Holy Spirit's guidance for the podcast.  Yes, the Fall Holy Days are upon us!  This year has FLOWN by!

    'Last episode left on a bit of a cliffhanger with Vashti losing the crown and EVERYTHING that came with it because of her neglect in doing one simple thing her husband asked of her.. now we get to see the selection process for Esther, and her exciting story begins!

    Thanks for joining us!  Please continue to pray!'

    Love and Shalom Shalom,

    'For today's episode, I wanted to take a break away from series production and simply express my thanks to Sophia, my family and friends, and all of you on social media who've been so kind and gracious as to take us to new heights!

    The amount of episodes being listened to by each person continues to average higher.. which blows my mind.  Each one of our listeners averages more than 16 episodes!  Is that you!?  Who are you?  What caused you to stumble upon this podcast?  Are you KPOP fans like us?  Or just faithful Christians seeking out wisdom from The Word wherever it comes from?  Whatever the case, we're extremely grateful for your presence with us.. and just can't thank you enough for taking the time to listen to what we've worked to provide for you free of charge and free of ads! :D

    God bless you all!  Thanks for being here!  It's super inspiring!'

  • The Way of the Exile.. Thriving in Babylon! - Part 12

    Send us Fan Mail

    This episode is the final part of what has been an incredibly in depth look at the Book of Daniel from the Bible!  The Book of Esther will be next as we continue examining the ways in which we can each overcome through strong faith while living in a world plagued by the darkness of faithlessness.

    We were going to run both books into one series, but since we ended up having 12 parts for Daniel (a 12 chapter book), we thought it best to create a new series for the Book of Esther!

    After all, it's very important that we make a distinction between Babylon and Persia!  While they were both places of captivity at different times for the Jewish people, they were certainly very distinct.

    'Today, we'll simply focus on resurrection and attaining the best possible one through conforming each and every day to the Image of Christ!  Let us grow a bountiful harvest together!

    We've certainly got our work cut out for us!'

    Love and Shalom Shalom!

    Today's episode may be shorter, but it is very important indeed.. for within it, especially at the end is some extraordinary guidance from The Holy One.

    Listen as Matthew takes us through Daniel chapter 10, and then hear how he spurs us on to righteousness through focusing on the eternal over the temporal.

    'I love you all so much.. our amount of listeners continues to increase all around the world, and I can't thank YOU enough.. YOUR presence here.. is such an IMMENSE inspiration.  THANK YOU!  Please continue to listen and share The Word!'

    Love and Shalom Shalom!
