How Moldy Bread Can Change Your Brain

A grisly medieval plague of holy fire. An experiment gone wrong. And…the CIA? All of these unlikely elements weave together in the story of accidental discovery that gave us LSD. Plus, how scientists today are studying how psychedelics could be used to treat mental illnesses like depression, addiction, OCD, and more.

Life After Smartphones: The Next Big Device Takes Over

Image
A silent revolution is happening in personal technology — and almost no one is prepared for what comes next. The smartphone era isn’t winding down… it’s collapsing. A tiny wearable device is emerging that will replace the phone entirely, and the early clues are already out in the open: satellite breakthroughs, SpaceX Starlink DTC Direct-To-Cell Service, new AI interfaces, and blunt statements from the people shaping the future of computing. In this video, I reveal the shift Elon Musk hinted at, the transition Google’s former CEO outlined, and the unexpected technology poised to make today’s phones outdated almost overnight. This isn’t a prediction for the distant future, the change has already begun, and once you see what’s unfolding, you’ll understand why the age of the smartphone is rapidly reaching its end. The Next Device Isn't A Phone - It's This! A New Era of Personal Technology For more than a decade, the smartphone has been the centerpiece of modern life—a device that o...

1,000 U.S. Pastors Just Got Recruited by Israel —

How is this right biblically in Christian narrative? 1,000 U.S. Pastors Just Got Recruited by Israel — What Is Going On?! In a biblical narrative , the idea of a foreign nation recruiting one thousand American pastors places Christians in a tension Scripture repeatedly warns about: the danger of allowing earthly alliances to reshape spiritual authority. In the Old Testament , Israel was often rebuked not for defending itself, but for leaning on political partnerships that pulled God’s people into another kingdom’s agenda.  Likewise, the New Testament urges pastors to serve Christ alone , not any geopolitical power , and to avoid becoming instruments of state messaging or foreign strategy . When spiritual leaders blend their calling with the interests of a modern nation—especially one actively engaged in conflict—they risk repeating the pattern of ancient Israel’s kings who traded prophetic conviction for political convenience .  Biblically, Christians are instructed to “...
