AND WHY not? Being created in the image of God is pretty cool! Sadly, there are those who are eager to throw away their heritage as a member of the divine family for the promise of cyber-godhood. Nice. Esau trades his inheritance for a bowl of beans all over again. Also: The lie that free will is a myth; new church worships an artificial intelligence; more than a quarter of millenials would replac...

AN AFRICAN SECT teaches that the Third Secret of Fatima revealed that Christ returned to Earth in 1962 in the form of Simeo Ondeto, founder of the Legio Maria (Legion of Mary) and a member of the Luo tribe of western Kenya. The sect, which has been expelled from the Roman Catholic Church, now claims 4.3 million members, mainly in Kenya and Sudan. Also: The Runaways just the latest propaganda from...

A researcher has developed an algorithm to study serial killers, and he estimates that 2,000 of them may be roaming the streets in the U.S. Meanwhile a professor at USC is programming an AI with the thought patterns of the notorious Zodiac Killer.

SPIRITS WORK behind the scenes of everything that happens in this world, although most of us are blind to the workings of the principalities and powers. We discuss the creepy clown phenomenon, which jumped the Atlantic before it jumped the shark, and something we've been watching for over a decade, the return of the old gods.

VOTERS IN the U.K. decided Thursday that they've had enough of Brussels. Many popular prophetic paradigms included a revived Roman Empire built on the European Union. Now what?

THE BRITISH government is close to releasing the findings of its inquiry into the death of Alexander Litvinenko. It appears Litvinenko was killed after exposing links between the Russian mafia and associates of Vladimir Putin.

IT'S CHRISTMAS EVE and dandelions are blooming in the Ozarks. We review a few major trends from the past year, discuss the surge in public proclamations of imminent prophetic fulfillment, and share our wish for you--a blessed and happy holiday season.

TECH VISIONARIES have announced a new non-profit artificial intelligence startup. The goal, apparently, is to make sure the first AI is "good". This is an interesting development, considering that one of the founders has called building an AI "summoning the demon."

THE DEHUMANIZATION of Planet Earth continues as we make way for Humanity 2.0. In the news this week: Treating depression with emojis, robots designed with free will, and robots for search and rescue (funded by the Defense Department)--or to replace a spouse who might one day take all your stuff in a divorce.

MEET THE new Slenderman--an evil clown named Laughing Jack. A 12-year old Indiana girl allegedly stabbed her 50-year-old stepmother to death and setting their apartment on fire. Why? To please Laughing Jack.

Today we discuss immortality through technology and several stories related to Russia: Putin's goals in the Middle East, a possible deal with Israel to develop the Leviathan natural gas field, and Russian code infects Pentagon servers with viruses.

AN ASTEROID will fly by Earth on Halloween at only 1.3x the distance of the Moon. It's nicknamed "Spooky", it's been identified by astronomers as a dead comet -- and it just happens to look like a human skull. Also: Comet Lovejoy spews alcohol and sugar into space; robots that can read your emotions; IS claims responsibility for tragic Russian airliner crash; insect-sized drones; and Putin positio...

A CREEPY new video presents a dark puzzle that apparently threatens U.S. President Barack Obama. As of today, nobody seems to know who created the video and what it really means. Also: More evidence of intrigue at the Vatican, UN initiative adopted by several US cities targets right-wing extremists, Parliament of World Religions pushes universalism, and Shiite Muslims commemorate 7th century Battl...

RUSSIA AND Iran have sent troops to fight for Syria’s largest city, Aleppo. Since it borders on the “Islamic State-free zone” declared by Turkey and the US last month, will the NATO allies have a problem with this? And how will the Islamic State respond? More significantly, the IS-free zone (which is definitely not IS-free) includes Dabiq, the village where the Islamic State believes it will fight...

WE TEND not to be alarmists when it comes to Christian persecution in the USA. But things have shifted in recent years and it's starting to get ugly. But things have shifted in recent years and it's getting ugly. Think what you will of Kim Davis (the Clerk of Rowan County, Kentucky, who has refused to comply with the Supreme Court's ruling on same-sex marriage and issue marriage permits to gay cou...

IT'S SURPRISING how often otherwise respectable news outlets publish stories with little verification. Some are difficult to take seriously, such as the alleged werewolf in Brazil, and some are intended mainly to raise questions, such as the so-called "Stonehenge in space". We also discuss Buzz Aldrin's interesting expense report for Apollo 11, advances in genetics that could lead to really creepy...

TRANSHUMANISTS AIM, generally speaking, to fulfill the promise made in the Garden: You shall be as gods. Today we discuss a variety of memes and news items related to the topic: A new theory of memory storage in the brain, research on connecting our brains to the cloud (and to a hive mind), and occult themes in the Johnny Depp film Transcendence.

AS THE classic rock song goes, "Time keeps on slipping, slipping, slipping...into the future..." Thanks to quantum physics. it seems those lyrics might not be technically correct. A recent experiment with helium atoms demonstrated that, at the quantum level, time may run backwards, and reality does not even exist until it is observed. Some New Age teachers take this as confirmation of the Law of A...

THE TELEVISION series Dig  is a well-written and stylish archaeological thriller, dramatizing an attempt by secretive groups of Christian and Jewish zealots to bring about the Apocalypse by destroying the Dome of the Rock, the mosque that is believed to occupy the site of Solomon's Temple. We discuss elements of the show and the tendency of people -- selves included -- to incorporate fiction into...

MOUNTAINS ARE shaking. A massive earthquake has left over 2,400 dead in Nepal, India, Bangladesh, and Tibet at last count, and that number will almost certainly grow in the hours ahead. Meanwhile, a volcano in Chile has unexpectedly erupted for the first time in 40 years, spewing a cloud of ash that's reached southern Brazil. What's more, people spotted something that looked like a giant in the cl...

OUR FIRST program from our new home in the beautiful Missouri Ozarks! We discuss the changes that brought us here and some changes facing the Church: New Age practices infiltrating our churches and the ongoing assault of the Enemy on the family unit, which is the smallest battle formation in the ongoing spiritual war. Also: New video game based on Slender Man; Ebola resurgent; new strain of avian...

ASTROPHYSICISTS ARE apparently beginning to rethink the idea of the Big Bang. A pair of researchers claimed this week that quantum mechanics suggest that the universe has always existed. The fact that erasing a starting point for the universe eliminates the need for a Creator is probably not coincidental. Also: Virtual reality goes mainstream as Google and Mattel counter Facebook's purchase of Ocu...

WE MISS Patrick Heron. This dear brother in the Lord made us think and he always did it while making us smile. He went home to be with the Lord January 2, 2014. Today is Paddy's birthday. In tribute, we bring back an interview we recorded in February of 2007. During our discussion, Paddy said, in his inimitable style: The bad news is the Titanic is sinking; the good news is you don’t have to be on...

THE TITLE of this week's show is a reference to a wonderful exchange between a clothing designer and a host on the QVC shopping channel about whether the Moon is a planet or a star. Of course, it's neither, but it led to a discussion of a panic 60 years ago when the U.S. government frantically searched for two "natural" satellites that appeared on radar, orbiting the equator at 400 miles and 600 m...

WE BEGIN our 11th year of webcasting with a look at some of the issues we believe the world will confront in 2015. Of course, it doesn't take much imagination to predict more turmoil in the Middle East, especially given the Palestinian Authority's recent failed initiative to have the United Nations Security Council declare it an independent state. We also discuss the continued conflict between the...
