The UFO-Evolution Connection

Unidentified Flying Objects are real and pick up millions of people on earth to "study" them! So says Dr. Tom Kindell of Reasons for Faith in Eagle Point Oregon. In this interview, Chris explores with Dr. Kindell the connection between the widely held beliefs of Evolution and Extra-Terrestrial life that shape the modern mind. Is this something that "just happened" or is it connected with an outside spiritual intelligence that has designs on taking over our planet?

Worth Seeing in Israel

Travelogues are a time-tested form of literature that combine both good information and the reflections of the traveler.

The Great Azusa Street Revival

Tired of the Da Vinci Code yet? Here’s a podcast about a movement within Christianity that is still going strong 100 years later. The 1906 Revival on Azusa Street in Los Angeles was seen as a dramatic hoax by the news media, an apocalyptic sign of the end of the world by some, and for others it was a revival of the glory days of Christianity as recorded in the New Testament book of Acts. Listen in as Matt and Chris uncover the story of William Seymour and the Azusa Street Revival.

Improve Your Reading by 25%

What if you could improve anything by 25%? Imagine if you could enhance your investment portfolio by that much or lose 25% of your body fat without dieting (if I knew how to do that I certainly wouldn't be writing a blog page today)! What about a 25% drop in your golf score or a 25% increase in your bowling average? How about a 25% drop in your bad cholestorol or 25% more hair on your head? Wouldn't you be ecstatic if gas prices dropped by 25%? But now we've moved from possibilities to fantasies haven't we? While a 25% change in any of these things would be a faint possibility today, reading quicker, better, and more effectively is not. Listen to this podcast and greatly improve your reading
skills today!

The Art of Academic

It might have been Aristotle, but then again, it could have just as easily been Mark Twain who said that youth is wasted on the young. There are some things that are probably best done when one is young, but most things worth doing in life can be done at any age. One of those worthwhile things is simply learning. As a matter of fact many colleges and learning institutions have long recognized and encouraged the participation of "mature students" along with those just finishing secondary school. Some are there gaining a new set of skills for a mid-life career change, while many others are taking classes for personal enrichment or a desire to complete an academic degree started in youth but discontinued out of necessity. Whether you are a young or mature student, this podcast will help you study more effectively and thus make the most of your learning experience.
