Did you know there might be scientific proof for the Star of Bethlehem, marking the birth of Christ? There’s also a pinpointed date of April 3rd, 33 AD marking the cruxifiction.  There’s a new film coming soon that you should check out, find out more in this episode.

Coming to movie theaters nationwide for a special, two-day-only theatrical event on Sunday, November 5th and Monday, November 6, 2023, GOD OF HEAVEN AND EARTH is a feature-length film, bringing two completely different scientific disciplines together to show that the creator of the Universe is the God of Heaven and Earth.

Shot on location in Israel and the Dead Sea, the film shows that the geologic record agrees with the biblical narrative establishing both a birth and crucifixion date.  In an astounding conclusion, the film presents evidence from a completely different scientific discipline to show that an earthquake occurred in Jerusalem upon the date presented for Christ’s death, supporting Matthew’s biblical account, that when Christ died, an earthquake followed that was so powerful it terrified a nearby Centurion who declared his famous words, “Surely, this was the Son of God.”  

Producer Elliott Wallach joins us today to discuss this incredible new film. Elliott has been working in the film business for over 20 years.  He is the founder of Edify Media, a full-service public relations firm that specializes in the promotion of family, faith-friendly, and faith-based films.  He has worked with every major studio and has been responsible for promoting movies like The Passion of the Christ, The Help, Amazing Grace, and more.

Many different mountains have been proposed as the true location of Mt. Sinai. In this episode we speak with investigative filmmaker Timothy Mahoney about his next leg of the Patterns of Evidence adventure as he looks for physical evidence of the Exodus journey to Mt Sinai, where the Bible tells us that God came down upon the mountain to meet the Israelites. Did this biblical event really happen as written in the Bible? Some experts say not, yet Exodus Explorers are now claiming they have found physical evidence to support one of the greatest events recorded in the Bible.

Interview with Graham Russell of Air Supply

Graham Russell, along with Russell Hitchcock, formed Air Supply more than 45 years ago, and recently released their latest album, THE LOST IN LOVE EXPERIENCE, an amazing compilation of their greatest songs performed live, including “The One That You Love”, “Here I am”, “Without You”, “Sweet Dreams” and many more. In this episode Graham discusses their incredible journey from how he & Russell first met and went on to write amazing chart-topping songs.  Graham also discusses their incredible stage performances and even shares one of his inspirational poems. 

It all began in '75
Graham Russell and Russell Hitchcock met on May 12, 1975, on the first day of rehearsals for the Australian production of Jesus Christ Superstar in Sydney. They became instant friends who shared much in common, including their love of The Beatles whom they’d both seen in 1964 in England and Australia respectively.

In January 2020, the Australian newspaper, the Herald Sun, proclaimed Air Supply in the Top 5 of ”Greatest Aussie Bands” of all time in the company of AC/DC, The Bee Gees and INXS.

For Valentine’s Day, they were profiled for an In-depth interview for CBS Sunday Morning.

In this 45th anniversary year, the duo continues to tour the world, having performed in England, Ireland, Israel, the Philippines, Korea, Taiwan, Japan, Canada and many other countries, of course including their home, the United States.

The trademark sound of Russell Hitchcock’s soaring tenor voice and Graham Russell’s simple but majestic compositions created a unique sound that would be forever known as Air Supply.

Interview with Dave Reynolds, NASA's Deputy Program Manager for SLS Booster Subsystems

In this episode we’ll discuss NASA’s upcoming Artemis 1 mission, scheduled to launch no earlier than the end of this month. The Space Launch System rocket, or “SLS” will propel the Orion spacecraft on its mission around the Moon and back to Earth. Artemis 1 will be an uncrewed flight test that will travel farther than any other human-rated spacecraft has traveled before. This mission, the first of an increasing series of complex missions, will demonstrate NASA’s capability to extend human existence to the Moon, and on to Mars.

Joining me in this episode from NASA’s Marshal Space Flight Center is Dave Reynolds, Deputy Program Manager for SLS Booster Subsystems. 

Artemis I Mission Overview

Artemis I is the first integrated test of NASA’s deep space exploration systems: the Orion spacecraft, Space Launch System (SLS) rocket and the ground systems at the agency’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The first in a series of increasingly complex missions, Artemis I is an uncrewed flight test that will provide a foundation for human deep space exploration and demonstrate our commitment and capability to return humans to the Moon and extend beyond.

During this flight, Orion will launch atop the most powerful rocket in the world and fly farther than any spacecraft built for humans has ever flown. Over the course of the mission, it will travel 280,000 miles (450,000 kilometers) from Earth and 40,000 miles (64,000 kilometers) beyond the far side of the Moon. Orion will stay in space longer than any human spacecraft has without docking to a space station and return home faster and hotter than ever before.

This first Artemis mission will demonstrate the performance of both Orion and the SLS rocket and test our capabilities to orbit the Moon and return to Earth. The flight will pave the way for future missions to the lunar vicinity, including landing the first woman and first person of color on the surface of the Moon.

With Artemis I, NASA sets the stage for human exploration into deep space, where astronauts will build and begin testing the systems near the Moon needed for lunar surface missions and exploration to other destinations farther from Earth, including Mars. With Artemis, NASA will collaborate with industry and international partners to establish long-term exploration for the first time.

AN UNEXPECTED REVIVAL

In her new 8-week Bible study, An Unexpected Revival: Experiencing God’s Goodness through Disappointment and Doubt, author Erica Wiggenhorn guides readers to encounter a unique picture of revival through Ezekiel’s prophecies. God chose to spark revival through people who seemed counted out, cast aside, and disregarded. An Unexpected Revival is available today, June 7, through Moody Publishers (Paperback 978-0-8024-2500-3).

Ezekiel reveals that we are not the first people to believe our doubts and doubt our beliefs when circumstances spiral out of control. But God pursues us with His goodness and desires to bring revival to our broken hearts.

“Ezekiel was actually the first book that I studied when God was leading me into ministry at my local church,” shares Erica. “Now, as I work with churches across the country, I keep realizing that the topic of revival has been a constant theme, and An Unexpected Revival was birthed to help others go deeper into this powerful book. We are hungry for a deeper connection to God, and Ezekiel gives a perfect roadmap to experiencing His love, no matter the circumstance.”

Through a study of the book of Ezekiel, God offers an invitation to:

• experience His faithfulness when surrounded by uncertainty
• reignite our hope instead of losing heart
• realize the call of God, reawakening us to our purpose
• rest in contentment rather than dwell in disappointment

An Unexpected Revival sparks a fire in our longing heart to feel renewed excitement in our relationship with God. Instead of going through the motions, checking the boxes, and wondering why God feels so far away, Ezekiel teaches us to come close and invite God to fill us with fresh fire. God offers His joy, peace, and purpose to any who seek it. Do you long for revival?

This 8-week study also includes a supplemental video teaching through Vimeo.
