This is just a personal chat with those of you who have followed along with me in the Amazingly Deep Thoughts journey. I share why I started and how God moved in my heart to close up shop after 5 years and 322 videos.
As always, thank you for being here and thank you for being my friends.
These are probably not the typical ladies you would think of in the Bible when you are going for inspiration and you probably wouldn't name your children after them, but they are who impact me the most.
NOTE: The audio kept clipping while I was recording this and I wasn't able to tell until after the recording was done. But it doesn't really change the context of the answer. I just wanted to give you a heads up on why there were a few blips.

Someone asked "If the Bible is true, than why are there so many religions?" In this episode I hope to shed some light on that question and provide you with 4 major things to look for in a religion to determine if it is a Bible-based religion or a man-based religion.

Is church membership a command? What happens if you don't join a local church? What does the Bible say?
I conferred with my husband a bit on this one as we discussed the pros & cons of church membership and in this episode I share what we concluded.

When push comes to shove and you follow all of the logical arguments about where life truly began, the final question comes down to this: "From where did the instructions found in DNA originate?
It is too improbable and sequential to happen without an intelligent force behind it." It is a question we should all explore and evidence we need to weigh individually.
That is what this episode covers.
As always, thanks for being here and thank you for being my friend.

The Goldilocks Planet is one of my favorite topics when it comes to facts that support the Bible. It is labeled that because so many things are "just right" like the story of Goldilocks when the bed and porridge were "just right." If even one tiny element of earth's position changed, it could not support life, let alone intelligent life. (We'll talk about intelligent life in the next episode).
But more importantly, if earth was to have evolved over millions of years, than all of earth's unique features would have had to happen simultaneously in order for it to exist. This goes back to the fact that no evolutionist truly believes in chance, but rather "nature's intelligence" or "natural selection" as they like to call it. The FACTS are that something intelligent, whether God or Mother Nature ;) put everything just right for earth to be what she is today.
That is what I am discussing in today’s episode.

Talking about the facts that support a global flood is key to understanding the science of the Bible. If there is no evidence of a global flood, than the Bible could easily be disproven. If there is evidence of a global food than it confirms another layer of the Bible's historical records.
There are six major evidences for the Genesis flood. They can also be found found in "The Pocket Guide to The Global Flood" by Answers in Genesis.
These six points are what I am discussing in today's episode.

What started out as a flippant agreement to my husband over 15 years ago with an "Ok! Ok! I'll try to make a Christmas album before I die" ended up a project completed way sooner than I expected.
In today's episode I share the stories behind the songs I wrote for this album and how God led me along each step of the way.

You might not know this, but when people want to rewrite or erase history ... they begin tearing down monuments, statues and archaeological evidence of facts. Just read up on Oswald Chambers, Karl Marx, Hitler ... and more.
But what I love is when Bible skeptics say there is no archaeological evidence to support the Bible, or they say that the Bible was written in 2nd century A.D. and then archaeologists uncover artifacts from 2300 B.C. or the time of King David and even Jericho and the Bible is validated again. T
hat's what I am covering today. For an outline of the Key Points or a link to the video version of today's episode, you can find it at our website: https://truthandsong.com/podcast/
There are some historical facts that skeptics of the Bible would like you to not notice. In fact, they try to outright deny them, but what do you do when the history you try to rewrite comes back and validates itself?
Daniel, Alexander the Great, Josephus's Antquities of the Jews and more.

You know what? Creation isn't 100% supported in the strictest sense by The First Law of Thermodynamics. So, does this mean that the Bible isn't supported by facts? That is what I am discussing in today's episode.
You can ask me a question at: https://www.instagram.com/amazinglydeepthoughts/
In a time when changing the definition of words is starting to seem more common, I think it is good to look at the terms "Truth" and "Fact" and why some say the Bible isn't supported by facts but is rather someone's personal truth ... and therefore, not valid to anyone other than the individual who believes it.
Is that true? Is there even truth? Is the Bible supported by facts? That's what I am covering in this episode and the rest in this series on "Is The Bible Supported By Facts?"

Sometimes we find ourselves in the middle of overwhelm and like the person who asked today's question. You wonder, "Was there a handout about how to manage life well and I missed it?" We know the Bible has the answers for life, but in the thick of things sometimes it is nice to know which direction to go and on what to focus.
Today, I share the mindset and tips that help keep things in perspective as we try to do well in everyday life.
