Alright, let’s talk about the elephant in the sky for a second.

Most of you are already familiar with the whole “we never went to the Moon in 1969” argument. The idea is that the original Apollo 11 Moon Landing was staged—filmed on a set, pushed as propaganda, and accepted without question.

That conversation hasn’t gone away. If anything, it’s louder now than it’s been in years.

So naturally, with Artemis II launching today, people are asking:
“Here we go again?”

Now here’s what’s actually happening—no hype, no fluff:

This mission is NOT landing on the Moon.

There is no touchdown. No planting flags. No “one small step” moment.

This is a **crewed flyby mission**.
They go out, loop around the Moon, and come back. That’s it.

Think of it like a dress rehearsal. Testing systems. Testing humans. Testing the route.

The actual landing mission (if it happens) comes later.

So with that in mind, I’m curious where you land on this:

A) You believe this is legit. This is step one toward eventually putting people back on the Moon.

B) You believe this is just a modern version of the same old story—another staged event, and launching it on April 1st feels a little *too on the nose* to be coincidence.

No fighting. No name-calling. Just where you stand.

Let’s hear it.

So Ecclesiastes has been rattling around in my brain lately… specifically that line in 1:9 — “there’s nothing new under the sun.”

Now I don’t know how y’all have heard that verse taught before, but I’ve run into some wild takes on it over the years. Everything from “time is a flat circle” energy… to “we’re all just respawning in different skins” type theories. You know, the kind of stuff that sounds deep at 2 a.m. but starts falling apart real quick in the daylight.

And it got me thinking… is that really what Solomon was getting at? Or are we just taking one poetic line and duct-taping a whole belief system onto it?

Because if you actually slow down and read Ecclesiastes straight through, it doesn’t feel mystical… it feels almost brutally honest. Like Solomon’s not unlocking some hidden cosmic loop—he’s basically looking at humanity and going, “y’all keep doing the same stuff over and over and calling it new.”

Different century, same pride.
Different tools, same problems.
Different headlines, same broken patterns.

That’s not a time loop—that’s human nature on repeat.

So I’ve been digging into it a bit more, and I’m probably gonna turn this into a full episode soon. We’ll take a closer look at what the verse actually says, what it doesn’t say, and why it keeps getting pulled into all kinds of strange directions.

But for now, I’m curious where you land on it—

When you hear “nothing new under the sun,” what comes to mind?

Appreciate y’all riding along. Shabbat shalom. ✝️🚲✌🏻❤️🙏

!!PRAYER REQUEST!!
I met these good folks back in 2019 while I was working at the local Community Day Shelter for those experiencing poverty and or homelessness. I witnessed their struggles and I saw them better their lives and get off the streets. "Pop's" has been diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer. Both of them and their families will be needing a lot of support and prayers.
Here's the thing, I am not aware that either of them have accepted Yeshua as their Lord and Saviour. We have discussed the Gospel in passing over the years but I have no evidence that either of them have answered the call. So I am asking for prayers that they both come to the Lord. Of course I pray for health and recovery as well, but more importantly that they come to Yeshua. ✝️🚲✌🏻❤️🙏

Shabbat shalom and Happy Biblical New Year (Wait… What New Year?)

So first things first—happy New Year.

Yeah, I know… that probably sounds a little strange coming out on March 21st. Most people already did the whole fireworks thing, made a few resolutions they forgot about by mid-January, and moved on. Life kept rolling.

But if we’re actually trying to follow what the Bible says—and not just what culture says—then we’ve got to slow down for a second and be honest about something.

The biblical New Year doesn’t start in January… and it definitely doesn’t start in September either.

It starts right now.

And that realization kind of throws people off a bit, because it forces you to ask a question most of us never really think about—what calendar am I actually living by?

So instead of going off assumptions or whatever Google decides to throw at us, let’s just go straight to the source.

In Exodus 12:2, right before Passover, God tells Moses and Aaron, “This month shall be for you the beginning of months…” And that’s not vague, and it’s not symbolic language. That’s a reset. A very intentional one.

And the timing matters. This is happening right as Israel is being delivered out of Egypt. So what God is doing here isn’t just giving them a date—He’s tying the beginning of their year to redemption itself.

That month is called Aviv—later known as Nisan—and it lands in the spring, somewhere around March or April. So biblically speaking, the year begins when everything is coming back to life. It begins around Passover. It begins at a moment where life is pushing out of what looked like death.

That’s not random.

God’s calendar doesn’t start in the dead of winter—it starts when things are growing again. When there’s movement, restoration, and new life.

For 2026, that beginning landed right around the evening of March 19th into March 20th. So if you’re reading this now, you didn’t miss it. You’re basically standing right at the front edge of the biblical year.

Now this is where things tend to get confusing.

Because if you go online and search something like “biblical New Year 2026,” you’ll probably see September 11th come up—Rosh Hashanah. And at first glance, that makes it feel like something’s off, like the Bible is contradicting itself.

But it’s not.

What you’re actually seeing is the difference between what Scripture establishes and what tradition developed later.

Rosh Hashanah happens in the month of Tishrei, which—according to the biblical calendar—is the seventh month. Not the first. The seventh.

And that’s where the disconnect is.

There’s nowhere in the Torah where God says that month is the beginning of the year. What you do see in Leviticus 23 is the Feast of Trumpets, which falls in that same time. It’s a real, appointed day—no question about that—but it’s never called “New Year” in the text itself.

The idea of that day being the start of the year comes later, through Rabbinic tradition, more as a civil or administrative marker than a biblical reset.

And just to be clear, this isn’t about taking shots at Jewish people or their traditions. That’s not the point here.

The point is simply that tradition and Scripture are not always the same thing. And if we don’t keep those categories clear, we end up with confusion—exactly like what happens when two completely different answers show up for the same question.

Now if we zoom out even further, there’s another layer to this.

Because most of us grew up celebrating January 1st as New Year’s Day. Ball drop, countdown, new year, new me… all of it.

But that date doesn’t come from the Bible either.

That comes out of the Roman system—Julius Caesar’s calendar reforms—and it’s even named after Janus, a Roman god associated with beginnings and transitions.

So if we’re just being honest, January 1st isn’t rooted in Scripture, it’s not tied to God’s appointed times, and it’s not connected to anything biblical at all. It’s just the system we inherited and grew up in.

So now you’ve basically got three different “new years” sitting on the table.

You’ve got January 1st from culture. You’ve got Rosh Hashanah from later Jewish tradition. And then you’ve got Nisan—spring—straight out of the Bible.

And they don’t line up.

So at some point, you’ve got to ask yourself a pretty simple question… which one actually carries authority?

Because this isn’t really about dates. It’s about what you’re choosing to anchor yourself to. Culture, tradition, or Scripture.

And someone might hear all this and say, “Okay, but does it really matter that much?”

And honestly, that comes down to how you view obedience.

Because what we’re really talking about here is whether we’re willing to let God define time, define order, and define what counts as “the beginning”… or whether we default to systems that came along later.

If you look through Scripture, there’s a pattern that shows up over and over again. People don’t usually drift by outright rejecting God. It’s more subtle than that. They drift by replacing what He said with something that’s close enough.

And over time, “close enough” just becomes normal.

But think back to what God actually did in Exodus.

He didn’t just bring Israel out of Egypt and say, “Alright, go ahead and keep everything the same.” He reset their calendar. He basically said, “We’re starting over. This is your new beginning.”

That tells you something.

God’s calendar isn’t just about keeping track of days—it’s about marking transformation. The year begins where redemption begins.

Not when a government says so. Not when tradition says so. When God says so.

And that brings us right back to where we are now.

Right here, at the edge of a fresh start.

Not in the middle of winter, when everything feels dead. Not halfway through some arbitrary system. But right as life starts pushing back into the world again.

Spring.

And whether someone chooses to formally observe that or not, there’s something real there. God set a rhythm. And when you start paying attention to that rhythm—even just a little—it brings a kind of clarity you don’t get otherwise.

So again… happy New Year.

Not the one on your phone calendar. Not the one built on tradition. But the one that actually comes from Scripture.

A new cycle. A real beginning. A reminder that God defines time, not us.

I hope this season is good for you—steady, productive, and grounded. And more than anything, I hope it feels like a reset.

Because if God chose to start His year with redemption…

That’s probably not a bad place for us to start either.

In this post-rant aftershow, I step away from the script and talk a little more personally about the ideas discussed in the main episode. Drawing from my time doing outreach work at a local homeless day center, I share a moment from the past where the question of peace, responsibility, and action stopped being theoretical and became very real. Sometimes faith isn’t just about what we believe—it’s about what we do in the moment when someone else is in danger.

This short aftershow reflection explores the tension between restraint and responsibility, and why following Yeshua doesn’t mean standing by while others are harmed.

Most of us don’t start thinking about “spiritual warfare” until something forces the question. Life is rolling along pretty normally, and then suddenly you run into a moment that reminds you the world isn’t as simple as we sometimes pretend it is. Scripture never presents believers as living in a padded, perfectly safe environment. The Bible describes a world where truth and deception, good and evil, light and darkness all coexist. That doesn’t mean believers should live in fear, but it does mean preparation matters.

One of the first things the Bible does when talking about spiritual warfare is clarify what the actual battlefield is. The apostle Paul explains it very plainly in the Epistle to the Ephesians. In chapter six he tells believers that our struggle is not really against flesh and blood, but against spiritual forces—powers, authorities, and influences that operate in the unseen realm.

That line changes the whole way you look at the subject.
