A hantavirus (often called “hunta virus” in early reports) outbreak has struck the MV Hondius expedition cruise ship in the Atlantic—three deaths confirmed, multiple cases, passengers and crew now quarantined off Cape Verde. It’s only been days since the news broke, but the echoes of 2020 are loud: cruise-ship quarantines, fear-filled headlines, and questions about how this could escalate. In this episode we unpack our earliest instincts through the lens of “Is this COVID Round Two?”, explore the political mantra “never let a crisis go to waste,” and arm listeners with a biblical perspective on spiritual warfare and practical prayer strategies.

What happens when a smooth-talking con man slips into your church family? In this raw episode we unpack the real frustration church leaders face—lost trust, drained finances, divided congregations, and the exhausting emotional toll. More importantly, we discover why the biblical gift of discernment may be one of the only reliable tools to spot the danger before it destroys what God is building. If you’re a pastor, elder, or leader who’s ever felt that sinking “something’s off” feeling, this episode is for you. PEOPLE > STUFF, propertypickersestatesales.com flisterjames@gmail.com

In this episode, we explore NASA’s Artemis II – the first crewed mission to the Moon in more than 50 years.

Launched on April 1, 2026, aboard the Space Launch System (SLS) rocket with the Orion spacecraft Integrity, the four-person crew (Commander Reid Wiseman, Pilot Victor Glover, Mission Specialists Christina Koch and Jeremy Hansen of the Canadian Space Agency) completed a daring lunar flyby on April 6th.

The highlight? A textbook “slingshot move” – the Moon’s gravity assist on a free-return trajectory – that naturally bent their path and hurled them back toward Earth with almost no extra engine burns.

We unpack the elegant physics behind it, why it’s a brilliant safety feature, and the delicious irony: despite smartphones in our pockets and computers that laugh at 1960s tech, the mission’s core trajectory, capsule shape, and splashdown look remarkably like Apollo 8 (1968).

Physics hasn’t changed one bit – and that’s the beautiful part. Perfect for space enthusiasts who love the “how” behind the “wow.”
