Artificial Intelligence, or AI, is one of the fastest growing and most widely used technological advances the world has seen. It is also one of the least understood and most dangerous, with the potential for catastrophe lurking around every corner. Often people who have been in on the beginning of an AI model leave the project when they realize how little control they have over it, and how quickly it becomes more tha...
Today we reach the end of our series on the coming great deception, the so-called alien invasion, by looking at alien abductions. Though it may be more comfortable to believe that these things are the figment of overactive imaginations or people who want fame and notoriety, the truth is that it is happening. Men, women, and children are being taken from their homes, from their beds even, in the middle of the night, an...
Did you know the explosion of technological advancements we have seen over the last 60 plus years isn't just from human ingenuity? Did you know that President Trump himself stated "we have weaponry that nobody has any idea what it is...more powerful than any weapon on earth. It's not even close?" Did you know that humans have been capable of teleportation for almost a century, and that we have tech...
The mysteries continue to unfold as we look at several other UAP and alien encounters, including two that led to human deaths. We dive into how the US government has handled these scenarios in the past, and how that is changing. We also look at how scientists, engineers, and entrepreneurs around the world have been given the gift of reverse engineering technology that did not originate here on earth. And to top it all...
How are Hitler, Antarctica, and the Arians connected? How does Project High Jump fit in with those topics? What is Project Paperclip, and how is it tied to Area 51?

You won't want to miss this episode as we dive into these topics, and so much more. *Disclaimer* The second half of this v...
Today we continue our dive into the alien and UFO phenomenon. We dig into one of the most well-known encounters in the United States, and ask the question of what really happened at Roswell, New Mexico in July of 1947. We also explore why the government changed the story overnight about what happened and what was found, and to this day refuse to declassify most of that incident. Also, did you know there was another cr...
Are aliens real? Does it matter? As a Christian, why should I care? Did you know that the existence of and encounters with "aliens" were recorded in ancient history? Today we are going to dive into all of this and more as we look at evidence from around the world and answer the question of whether or not there is something "out there." You might be surprised to know that, contrary to popular beli...
Today we continue our look at stargates, portals, and wormholes, and look more specifically at a few amazing cases.

Tune in today as we explore all of this and so much more.

Stargates, portals, and wormholes...that title might have you wondering if you stumbled on a sci-fi page rather than a Christian one. But if you dive in with us today, you will soon see that there is much more to this than meets the eye. And that as Christians we cannot afford to turn a blind eye to all that people are seeing and reporting. You will also learn that this is not a new phenomenon, but one that's bee...
Have you ever wondered about bigfoot, the abominable snowman, werewolves and other animal hybrids, giants, or aliens? Are any of them real? Why are they so elusive, and yet also so prevalent?

Yet, the newest bit of information stirs the pot and brings people out who want to know more. That's probably why yo...

We’ve got joy! How about you?
In this episode of Live Life in the Spirit, we explore the powerful difference between joy and happiness, why joy is not dependent on circumstances, and how God offers joy even in the darkest moments of life. Through Scripture, real-life insight, and plenty of laughter, we uncover why joy is not just an emotion—but a gift from God meant to sustain and strengthen us. If you’ve ever won...
A movie based on a true story about a hero pastor who dared to stand against Hitler and his regime during World War II, and a Christmas movie about Santa being kidnapped the day before Christmas. These two movies seemingly have little in common, and the fact that we ended up watching them on the same day seemed to be happenstance. It was actually more of a Godenstance. Tune in today to find out how and why, especially...
We all face hard things in life, and sometimes it might seem like we have nowhere to turn. As followers of Christ, our help and our hope is in the Lord. But what does that mean?

When you hear the word boundaries, what does that bring to mind? Maybe keeping people away or putting up a fence or wall? Boundaries have gotten a bad reputation lately, but contrary to the current climate, they are an important part of any healthy relationship.
