Something's Happening Here

“A Virus By Any Other Name” It’s virus season again, friends! The kids are starting school and the holidays are coming, so this is the time of year when we remember the good old days, when the government cancelled school and Christmas for two years in a row, for your own good. But on today’s show, we will NOT become yet another talking head endlessly listing the pros or cons of big government and public health agencies. Instead, we’re looking only at the new variant’s name, because all week on Something’s Happening Here our focus is the power of Names. Join us all week as we explore the wisdom of God – and the folly of man – through the lens of what we choose to call things. Shakespeare once wrote, “What’s in a name?” And our answer is: a whole lot more than most of us realize. I’m Steve Hicks, Director of Podcast Ministries for Talking Donkey International. Welcome to today’s show, called “A Virus By Any Other Name.” "What’s In a Name?" Part 1: 8/28/23 https://www.medpagetoday.com/special-reports/features/105809 https://twitter.com/TRyanGregory/status/1686433961856163840 https://uscatholic.org/articles/202209/whats-in-a-name-according-to-the-bible-a-whole-lot/ All week on Something’s Happening Here’s fourth episode of Season Three, we are exploring the power and significance of names: historically, prophetically, even artificially.

“Who Let the Goats Out?” Few figures in the Bible have generated so much discussion based on so little data than Azazel, or Azazel’s goat, in Leviticus chapter 16. Referred to as the “scapegoat” in the King James and New King James Versions of the Bible, this character is understood as Jesus, as Satan, and as nothing more than a symbol, depending on the group you ask. Today on Something’s Happening Here, we look to the book of Revelation to try to find a definitive answer about this mysterious goat, as we conclude our week-long discussion about the prevalence of suffering and what it means for believers today. Put on your prophecy hats one more time, friends, and buckle up for a controversial ride.

“Roman Roll Call” It’s not uncommon in works of fiction for characters to be named something reflective of their personalities, occupations, or dramatic arc. “Max Danger” comes to mind, or “Maverick,” or “Neo” from the Matrix. “Doctor Evil” is a spoof on this concept. It’s so common in fiction that it may seem strange to think it happens in the real world, too! Think of Francine Prose the novelist, or Jules Angst the psychiatrist who specializes in anxiety disorders. At Something’s Happening Here, we firmly believe that names carry a spiritual power, whether we believe it or not, and on today’s show we aim to demonstrate why with a combination of history and prophecy. So be careful what names you assign to things, because you may just be prophesying the future of that thing. Sound crazy? We’ll see! Welcome to today’s show, called “Roman Roll Call.” "What’s In a Name?"

“When in Romulus…” Since we’re on the topic of ancient Rome from yesterday, let’s take today to put on our prophecy hats and better understand the Old Testament book of Daniel, chapters 2 and 7, specifically. Not only do these texts pose some irrefutable evidence of the existence and sovereignty of the God of the Bible, but they in turn form the basis of study for the book of Revelation as well! And they are relevant to our discussion of names this week also, as we’ll see after the opener. Thanks for joining us for our midweek show, called “When in Romulus…”! Grab a Bible and let’s get to it, friends! "What’s In a Name?"

“Judgment Day” In the parable of the wheat and the tares, in Matthew 13, describes the dilemma of sin in humanity and what God plans to do about it. The righteous and the wicked grow together, often indistinguishable, until Christ returns, sorts the two groups according to His own standard of judgment, then rewards the one and punishes the other. One of the biggest ideas in this parable is that God must execute a final judgment at some point in time to determine who lives forever, and who does not. This premise has formed the basis of many a scary movie, but the Bible shows us that the concept of God’s final judgment is a great relief to those who love God - quite the opposite of a scary time when the scary Divine Judge looks for reasons to smite you. So join us today on Something’s Happening Here while we learn how to find the joy in His judgment, and how that event helps us understand why He permits suffering to continue in our world.

“What’s God Doing Right Now?” Across the world, there is much talk about what Jesus has done in the past, and much (though less) talk about what He will do in the future. But how often do you hear talk of what He is doing right now? Every once in a while we’re reminded that Jesus can “take the wheel” when we ask Him to, but what is the theological basis for those ideas? If He can intervene right now, why not come back and take us home where there will be no more problems? Today on Something’s Happening Here, we approach a Bible topic that is not frequently discussed, and which can lead to some surprising (but beautiful!) conclusions; and all in service of finding out what Jesus Christ is up to, right now.

“Why Won’t God End Suffering?” I’ve been a student of media for a long time now, back into my teens. I understand it on an academic level, and I’ve observed with interest how the media landscape has changed throughout my adulthood, with high-speed internet and social media all but replacing the old cable TV model. In today’s news media, you can easily see two opposite phenomena that I believe are related. On the one hand, the actual news is horrific; by many metrics, worse than ever. But on the other hand, the presentation of this news is often cheery, superficial, strangely optimistic. Remember “fiery but mostly peaceful,” anyone? Besides the obvious way that the need for ratings has driven this laughable approach to news, we can see theology itself operating if we know where to look. Today on Something’s Happening Here, we’ll learn a bit about both the media and the Lord. Welcome to the show.

“Why Does God Allow Suffering?” This week on Something’s Happening Here, we’re mostly looking to the Bible for answers about one particular topic: suffering. In our flashy, modern world it can be easy to forget that suffering is all around us, and in some ways more intensely now than ever before; but it is there. And real men, women, and children suffer every day, often in silence. Suffering has long posed a problem for believers in a loving God, because why would such a God allow evil in the first place, and why would He permit it to continue as it does? This is a deep and rich subject, and it’s playing out all across the headlines constantly, so we’re going to give it the time and respect it deserves on this week’s show. I’m Steve Hicks, Director of Podcast Ministries for Talking Donkey International, and I invite you to grab your Bibles and put on your prophecy hats all week long.

“Intellectually Bankrupt” It’s Friday, which often means it’s time for an A.I. Update on Something’s Happening Here. But today, we’ll approach Artificial Intelligence from a place of satire rather than alarm; because A.I. is just a supercomputer’s conglomeration of human knowledge and thought processes. It is just a reflection of ourselves, as broken and corrupt as we are. Like all artists, who use lies to tell the truth, today we use satire to reveal a major problem in our society today, and I’m willing to be specific! So may God bless you as we get to it, and finish the week strong with the Lord. "Circling the Drain" Part 5: 8/18/23 https://babylonbee.com/news/ai-transformed-into-illiterate-moron-after-just-three-hours-watching-cnn/ This week is our second episode of Season Three, and we’re talking about the various ways that bankruptcy seems to be defining our present moment in time.

“Morally Bankrupt” After three days of looking at how the world is failing financially, today on Something’s Happening Here we pause and look at some other ways that the spirit of bankruptcy is infecting everything in the modern world. And what could be more corrupt than the American federal government in 2023? Whether you believe the corruption comes from the left or the right doesn’t even matter, because this moral bankruptcy has been happening gradually from all ends, so its sudden eruption may seem like it comes from one side or the other but really it’s just the finale of a moral decline decades in the making. So what does it mean and what can we do about it? The answer is both simpler and more elusive than you might think. I’m Steve Hicks, welcome to the show.

“Who Works the Workers?” Today on Something’s Happening Here, we look at yet another financial bankruptcy that is happening right now, and which is sure to have a ripple effect on business across the marketplace. But this time, we’re focusing on one major contributor to this company’s downfall: organized labor. Now relax, we won’t be going on a pro-union or anti-union tirade today, that’s not what this show is about. But we will look at the spiritual implications of the types of behavior that have helped disrupt the freight industry and will cost upward of 30,000 paid jobs in a time of inflationary spiral. We’ll take a look at history and Scripture today, friends, and hopefully check the impulses of our hearts while we’re at it. Welcome to our mid-week show.

“Tighten the Belt Until it Breaks” The Great Recession of 2008 and onward happened in large part due to the tightening of credit standards at major banks. Businesses of all sizes depend on positive cash flow to keep operations going, and often that involves some sort of credit. This happens routinely, and to everyone’s benefit when the system works. But when the banks tightened these lines of credit, invoices couldn’t be paid, inventory couldn’t be moves and ultimately cash flow ceased. Businesses failed by the score, and it’s happening again today, and for very similar reasons. Sometimes it’s not as easy as just “tightening the belt,” and today on Something’s Happening Here we’ll see a real-life example of how the best financial plans can mean nothing at all when the money dries up. Where is this problem heading? Welcome to the show.

“Running on Empty” A quote attributed to Ernest Hemingway goes like this: “How did you go bankrupt?" “Two ways. Gradually, then suddenly.” You and I are living through a clear societal decline in the Western world, by many metrics, for many reasons; and many may wonder how it came to be this way. Is it all Biden’s fault? Trump’s? The Democrats? The Republicans? Are we still Thanking Obama, seven years later? But Hemingway’s insight helps us understand that the sudden failures all around us must have a long tail behind them, and of course they do. This week on Something’s Happening Here, we’re looking at the bankruptcy of the modern day: financial and moral bankruptcies, and those of basic standards and integrity also. What does it all mean? Let’s find out together! I’m Steve Hicks, Director of Podcast Ministries for Talking Donkey International, and this is our second episode of Season Three.

“Seeing Isn’t Believing” Perhaps never before have we had the same opportunity to understand why God enshrined into His eternal law the idea that we are not to bear false witness. Often this command is reduced to “do not lie,” and okay that’s fine, but “bearing witness” is an active deception, a willful promotion as truth that which is both false and harmful to another person. Right now, in 2023, it seems like everyone everywhere is lying! It’s gotten so bad that by default I generally believe the OPPOSITE of whatever the government says, but that’s not enough, because now even our COMPUTERS are lying to us! Today on Something’s Happening Here, this is our first A.I. Update of Season Three, and it comes in the context of our recently being HACKED and losing control of our Facebook Page. What’s the answer when the whole world is a giant landfill of bottomless lies? Let’s find out! Welcome to the show.

“Money Money Money Money … MONEY!” Remember Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous? In the 80s, we liked to peek into the lives of those who were far wealthier than we, for some reason. It was the culture of the time, Greed Is Good, and we institutionalized this envy into a popular television series. Twenty years later, the same spirit manifested as the Real Housewives, Paris Hilton’s Simple Life, The Kardashians, and the like. Even now, this spirit is so much a part of our culture that the word Kardashian didn’t even fail spellcheck when I wrote this show! But where has this lust taken us? And what does it tell us about God? Today on Something’s Happening Here: Put on your math hats, friends, and get ready for some numbers and finance, because that’s just about Satan’s favorite weapon to use against us in these last days.

“Not Just Dazed and Confused” When I was growing up, I recall watching a video in high school health class about the dangers of using heroin. A teenager, very straight-laced, was peer-pressured into trying heroin just one time, and it killed him. Therefore, the lesson was, avoid it at all costs, because even one use can end it all. Fast forward to today, and we are losing over 60,000 Americans to just one class of drug – opioids. This trend has been increasing for ten years now, and especially since the pandemic! Drug use and abuse has been with us for a long time, but this crisis is new, and worsening! What’s happening that so many choose to die instead of live in our modern day? Today on Something’s Happening Here, we look at the problem and the solution that the devil doesn’t want you to know. Thanks for joining us in the middle of your week!

“You Are Not Your Own” The Bible literally says “For no one ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it,” and yet in our world today we see self-hatred all over the place! Today on Something’s Happening Here, we look at the phenomenon of body mutilation, which seems to be gripping people worldwide, and especially in the West, and especially among our youth, and especially among the girls. What has happened in the world to so radically invert the apostle Paul’s statement, where now we find virtue in neither nourishing OR cherishing our bodies, but cutting them into costumes instead? When did child mutilation become a controversial topic? I hope it all makes you long for the Kingdom of God, friends, because it does for me. Welcome to the show.

“Ground Zero” We’re back for Season Three and we’re battling the devil head-on! Today on Something’s Happening Here, we’re NOT BROADCASTING ON OUR FLAGSHIP FACEBOOK PAGE! Can you believe it? Friends, we have been victimized and that Page is currently under the control of someone else. I’ll share a little more on the main show, but as always on this show we’re more interested in the spiritual side of whatever’s happening, so we will discuss this problem as one of a spiritual battle. The eternal conflict between good and evil is being waged right now with this show right in the middle of the battlefield! So grab your Bible, buckle up, and let’s get to it, friends, on every OTHER media outlet we can.

“The Ministry of Misinformation” ORIGINALLY BROADCAST 5/5/23 People can’t agree about anything anymore because we often make decisions based on wildly disparate sets of facts and ideas. How in the world can we navigate a world where we cannot even agree on basic facts, or even what constitutes a fact? In a world where nothing means nothing anymore because everything means whatever we want it to, you and I need some rock solid truth to stand on: and we know that rock is Jesus Christ.

“Worst Economy in a Generation” ORIGINALLY BROADCAST 5/4/23 What if bad economics is more than just a matter of politics? Could it be a matter of prophecy as well? Today on Something’s Happening Here we take a sober look at both the state of the economy in 2023 as well as how economics will shape and influence prophetic events still to come. Knowing prophecy doesn’t make the cost of gas any cheaper, but it does remind us that God is in charge, always. Remember, we’re preparing a new show for next week, right now!

“Is the World Becoming Skynet?” ORIGINALLY BROADCAST 5/3/23 If you grew up in the 80s and 90s, you know that The Terminator once seemed like a distant dystopian sci-fi nightmare; but in the space of one generation the advance of Artificial Intelligence has made that kind of technology frighteningly real. Hopefully we’re getting ready to record Season Three’s premier episode right about now, so today on Something’s Happening Here we revisit the first time we discussed the problem of A.I. during Season Two.

“The Pagan Revolutions” ORIGINALLY BROADCAST 5/2/23 You want to know who’s to blame for whatever’s making you mad? Turn on the news – any news – for five minutes and you’re sure to hear all about one person or group or another and why all the evil comes from them. But the Bible, of course, doesn’t say that. God’s law and prophecy alike both reveal to us the real root problem – the spiritual sickness of our hearts – that underlies every way that society seems to be spiraling out of control today. But are we ready to confront that problem? Let’s find out! Welcome to Something’s Happening Here. I’m Steve Hicks.

“Why is the World so Unstable Right Now?” ORIGINALLY BROADCAST 5/1/23 Today on Something’s Happening Here: The tumult of the past several years appears alive and well when we look around us. Everywhere, everything seems fragile and unstable. I sure trust all the foundations and institutions of our society a whole lot less now than I used to! Don’t you? Why could this be?

“The Only Question That Matters” ORIGINALLY BROADCAST 3/17/23 All the knowledge in the world about Christ’s return won’t make a bit of difference if you’re not ready to meet Him when He comes, so in this re-broadcast of Season One’s finale show, we ask the only question that really matters, in a few different ways: have you surrendered to Jesus Christ?
