3/11/24 "Demonic Lawfare" part 1 S4E8p1 Today on Something's Happening Here we are beginning our week-long discussion about the concept of “lawfare.” But it's not going to be what you think it's going to be, because Something's Happening Here is in the middle of a big transition, as I mentioned in previous weeks. We have a lot of format changes coming up and we're a little bit precarious about how we are going to be proceeding in the future. So this week we have a little bit of both the old format and the new format, and I want you to be aware of what's coming. We're starting out with current events: what's going on with the presidential election?; how have the courts been weaponized for political purposes? But then we are going to move on beyond that for our second show on Wednesday and our third show on Friday, so we’ll eventually be talking about the role of lawfare in the soon return of Jesus Christ. Thank you for tuning into the show. May God bless you, and welcome. https://www.leadertimes.com/opinion/trump-lawfare-update/article_7871ec36-dc0d-11ee-8836-07de0b4ec2c4.html For our eighth episode of Season Four, again we have an off-format week, with only three shows: Monday, Wednesday, Friday. And we’ll be looking at the deeper dimensions of what is being called “lawfare” in the United States today.

3/8/24 Progressive Christianity "Not Your Parents’ Planet Earth" part 5 What makes a person a Christian? How central is Jesus to that term? How important is the gospel? Today on Something’s Happening Here, rather than the usual A.I. Update, instead we’re exploring the concept of Progressive Christianity, and seeing how the meaning of being a Christian has morphed and changed just since the days of my youth. What has been the impact across the faith at large? Well, I suppose that would depend on your perspective; but whether you like it or hate it, today we’ll see how Progressive Christianity is just another manifestation of a phenomenon present within the church since the very beginning. Thanks for joining us all week long, friends!

3/6/24 Erasing Women in the 21st Century "Not Your Parents’ Planet Earth" part 3 Have you noticed that women are everywhere these days? CEOs, flight captains and crews, investment bankers, engineers, Supreme Court justices, UFC for some reason. Yet at the same time, all the best women seem to be men these days! Caitlyn Jenner is Time’s woman of the year, Lia Thompson nominated for the NCAA’s. How did this happen? Such would have been totally unthinkable when Title IX was written fifty years ago, but this is “Not Your Parents’ Planet Earth” anymore. Join us today on Something’s Happening Here as we discuss “Erasing Women in the 21st Century.” And don’t forget to join our community at somethingshappeninghere.locals.com where on Thursday this week we’ll be discussing the theology of why life on earth has changed so much so fast. https://apnews.com/article/title-ix-transgender-athletes-rights-9adfe49a8e07f66f07b5e2302bb94730 https://www.reuters.com/article/idUSL1N36E1ZD/ https://www.sportskeeda.com/mma/fallon-fox-mma-how-many-skulls-under-fire-transgender-mma-fighter-accused-breaking My oh my, how things have changed!

3/4/24 Fighting Racism With Racism "Not Your Parents’ Planet Earth" part 1 I grew up in one of the most racially diverse places in America. I was taught at an early age and believe to this day that treating people differently because of their skin is wrong and ignorant. Imagine my surprise, then, when I was called a racist for repeating the dream of Doctor Martin Luther King, Jr., that people should be judged based on the content of their character rather than the color of their skin! But the world has changed since Dr. King shared his dream with us, hasn’t it? Today on Something’s Happening Here, we look at this modern phenomenon of “Fighting Racism With Racism” as we begin our week-long acknowledgment that this is “Not Your Parents’ Planet Earth” anymore. I’m Steve Hicks, Director of Podcast Ministries for Talking Donkey International.

3/1/24 He is Master Over Binary Code "Behold the Power of God" part 5 Today on Something’s Happening Here, we’re tying together our opening theme – God’s power over computers as well as people – with our typical Friday format, the AI Update. We’ll look at a recent story which, to the people involved, I’m sure seemed a LOT like our experience with Facebook, which we detailed on Monday. But in this instance, the computer was an AI chatbot, rather than a mystery team of techs at Meta, so God’s challenge was amplified by the absence of human consciousness to influence. Yet God prevailed, of course! Thanks for joining us all week as we’ve Beheld the Power of God in Scripture, history, and now AI. May God bless you, friends, and welcome to the show! https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2024/02/air-canada-must-honor-refund-policy-invented-by-airlines-chatbot God is so great that even established believers get blindsided by Him sometimes.

2/29/24 Babylon Knows That He Means What He Says "Behold the Power of God" part 4 Happy leap day, friends! And happy birthday to those of you who only get one birthday every four years. This is your day, live it up! But don’t forget to join the rest of us on Something’s Happening Here, because today we will see how God has displayed His power and kept His ancient promises in our modern world today, in the lifetimes of (probably) everyone watching this now. Are you ready to see recent historical events in a new light today? Come with me as we “Behold the Power of God” one more time, as we see that “Babylon Knows That He Means What He Says.” I pray the rest of us will know it too, by the time we’re done.

2/28/24 He Builds Where He Sees Fit "Behold the Power of God" part 3 I’ve mentioned in the past that my family lineage in America stretches back four hundred years, all the way to the Mayflower. I love this land of my ancestors for four centuries. And many of us who love the United States believe that it is and always has been blessed by God, or some version of that idea. Why would we feel that way? Is it just American hubris? Or could there perhaps be a solid prophetic reason as well? Join us for our midweek show on Something’s Happening Here, where we will see quite plainly that “He Builds Where He Sees Fit” as we continue to Behold the Power of God. Welcome. https://www.wsj.com/articles/the-miracle-of-squantos-path-to-plymouth-1448406073 God is so great that even established believers get blindsided by Him sometimes.

2/27/24 He Defeats the Impenetrable "Behold the Power of God" part 2 In 2009, President Obama declared that certain large financial institutions were “too big to fail,” by which he meant too important to be allowed to fail. He said this not because they really couldn’t fail, but acknowledging that they actually might, absent of outside intervention. Well, in the ancient world Babylon itself was considered “too big to fail,” but it was believed that Babylon simply could not fail. And from a human engineering standpoint, it couldn’t! It was a city designed to be impenetrable against all foes. But nothing is impossible with God, as Babylon came to discover. The fall of Babylon altered history more than Babylon itself did, and today on Something’s Happening Here we will explore the prophecies that changed the world. Join us for “He Defeats the Impenetrable,” as we Behold the Power of God in the ancient world. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Babylon God is so great that even established believers get blindsided by Him sometimes.

2/26/24 God’s Humble Servant, Facebook "Behold the Power of God" part 1 Today is the day that the Lord has made, friends! And I will rejoice and be glad in it! We at Something’s Happening Here have been under the burden of some cyber-malfeasance for many months now, but God is good all the time, and nothing is too difficult for Him, according to Jeremiah 32:27.What’s the problem, and what’s the news? Join us in the main show to find out! And to honor God’s power and faithfulness toward us, all week we will be looking at ways the Lord has demonstrated His power in Scripture and history; including in our very lifetimes, which we’ll see on Thursday’s show.

2/23/24 Downfall of the A.I. King "God Removes King and Raises Up Kings" part 5 No, not the “King of A.I.,” but rather, the “A.I. King.” On our final show of the week, Something’s Happening Here will look at some parallels between the downfall of pompous human leaders and the state of things in the world of artificial intelligence, and ask if the patterns we’ve discussed all week might manifest in the digital world also? Is nature subject to God’s promise to humble the exalted and exalt the humbled? Would A.I. be? We live in interesting times, friends – all the more reason to rejoice that Jesus is coming soon! Welcome to this week’s A.I. Update, and may God bless you. https://www.xponance.com/generative-ai-hope-hubris-or-harrowing/ Recently President Biden held a press conference that many have labeled as a disaster for him.

2/22/24 Peace Through Strength (Allegedly) "God Removes King and Raises Up Kings" part 4 We can’t claim to take a prophetic view of a current event and not spend some time in Daniel chapter 11! Regular viewers of this show know that I believe Daniel 11 is prophecy for right now, and accordingly we will conclude our discussions about President Biden’s recent disastrous press conference by studying it out. What do the repetitive battles between the King of the North and the King of the South have anything to do with an old man confusing Mexico with Egypt or forgetting the details of his son’s death? How does this ancient writing prepare us for what it coming next? All that and more, today on Something’s Happening Here. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pax_Romana Recently President Biden held a press conference that many have labeled as a disaster for him.

2/21/24 Narcissism and Worm Food "God Removes King and Raises Up Kings" part 3 God promises to humble the exalted, and exalt the humbled, and has provided many instances of doing such throughout time. Therefore it’s always shocking to see professed believers in political leadership who exalt themselves anyway, and who inevitably face their dramatic downfall in short order. Today on Something’s Happening Here, we take a look at Herod the Great – and two generations of his family that followed him – to gain insight as to how God responds when leaders use His name in support of wicked things. Is that happening right now? You be the judge, friends, as we discuss “Narcissism and Worm Food” on our midweek show.

2/20/24 The Insanity of Hubris "God Removes King and Raises Up Kings" part 2 Did you know that I am an eyewitness of the September 11, 2001 terror attacks in New York City? It’s true. I was one of those hundreds of thousands of people you saw on tv fleeing downtown on foot. On that morning, my roommate at the time said something to the effect of the attacks being against “American hubris.” I didn’t understand what he meant at the time, and I didn’t fully agree with the sentiment when I came to understand it, but he did have at least one thing right: the downfall of hubris is inevitable, because hubris itself leads to insanity, and insanity cannot survive for long. Today on Something’s Happening Here, we look to ancient Babylon to establish a pattern that may just be unfolding in front of our eyes in 2024, in the form of an old man and an angry press conference. I’m Steve Hicks, Director of Podcast Ministries for Talking Donkey International.

2/19/24 Biden’s Worst Presser "God Removes King and Raises Up Kings" part 1 This week on Something’s Happening Here, we’re back to our core mission: exploring the spiritual side of current events. And the current event of the moment ready to be explored spiritually is President Biden’s press conference on February 8, 2024, which has been labeled as a ”disaster” by reporters and pundits across the political spectrum. But as we’ll see throughout the week, there is more going on here than what appears on the surface; because while the details are different each time, the Biden presidency’s inevitable downfall is just the latest manifestation of a story as old as time. The prophet Daniel told us that “God Removes Kings and Raises Up Kings,” and whenever a leader forgets that, trouble ensues. Thanks for starting your week with us as we begin this week’s episode with today’s show, “Biden’s Worst Presser.” https://www.tennessean.com/story/opinion/columnists/2024/02/09/biden-press-conference-special-counsel-hur-report-unfit-for-office/72536882007/ https://www.foxnews.com/media/biden-blistered-mainstream-media-after-disaster-press-conference-elderly-irritable-man Recently President Biden held a press conference that many have labeled as a disaster for him.

2/16/24 Digital Love in the Digital Age "The Holiday About Love" part 5 Can computers feel eros? Or philia? Or agape? Can computers feel anything at all? (I’ll tell you ChatGPT’s answer to that on today’s show.) Well, it’s increasingly clear that humans can and do feel at least some of these types of love toward Artificial Intelligence, regardless of how the AI feels in return. Is the increasing ubiquity of virtual girlfriends more than just a commentary on how men will create porn out of every available thing? What are the spiritual implications of this phenomenon, if any? After our off-format week discussing the different aspects of love in recognition of Valentine’s Day, our A.I. Update this week looks at “Digital Love in the Digital Age.” Thanks to all of you who joined our community at somethingshappeninghere.locals.com; and if you haven’t yet, it’s not too late!

2/14/24 Is Erotic Love in the Bible? "The Holiday About Love" part 3 What a show title, right? “Is Erotic Love in the Bible?” For our Valentine’s Day show, we explore the titillating topic of Eros, the physical love between lovers. Spoiler alert: Yes, this type of love is present in the Bible, though the Greek word on which it is based, eros, is not. What does the absence of the word eros in Scripture tell us about the use and abuse of erotic love in the sight of God? Today’s show will be a fun one, thanks for joining us. Also – did you see yesterday’s show? It wasn’t in the usual places. It was an off-format show available only to the members of our community at somethingshappeninghere.locals.com. Tomorrow’s show will be the same, but that one will be paywalled, available only to our Supporters on Locals.

2/12/24 Love Like Unto a Brother "The Holiday About Love" part 1 Today on Something’s Happening Here, we’re talking about love! Since Valentine’s Day is this week, our focus all week long is about love, starting with Philia, brotherly love. English is a beautiful language, but in many ways also a lazy one, and in English we squish all the different facets of love into a single word: love. But the concept of love is actually multi-faceted, and better understanding its different aspects can help us also better understand God. Watch for a different format this week, friends! Details about the changes to expect, how to get the most out of it, and the reasons for it all are in today’s full show.

2/9/24 Super Dating With A.I. "Superman or Bizarro-man?" part 5 Recently I came across a report that ChatGPT has a store (didn’t know that) and that it is overrun with AI Girlfriends, despite OpenAI’s company policy against such things. I wrote to my producer and told him this is why, despite my general concern, I’m not overly worried about AI conquering the world – because the best and brightest among us use this supertechnology to … make porn! Of course. On this week’s A.I. Update on Something’s Happening Here, we see that romance and A.I. might not be such good bedfellows after all. But more importantly than that, we’ll see the prophetic reason why this all betrays a problem of the human heart that believers need to overcome before the return of Jesus Christ. https://www.wired.com/story/volar-dating-app-chatbot-screen-matches/ For our third episode of Season Four we are looking at the “supermen” of history and examining the desire of the human heart to be greater than we are.

2/8/24 When This Mortal Puts On Immortality "Superman or Bizarro-man?" part 4 The Blessed Hope that remains for the redeemed in Christ is a hope that cannot be taken from us – the promise of the return of Jesus Christ! The Lord promised us, “If I go to prepare a place for you, I will come again to receive you unto myself, that where I am, there you may be also.” So everyone who “loves His appearing,” to use another Bible phrase, can weather any storm of life knowing that eternity with Christ is coming, along with all the promises and benefits thereof. Today on Something’s Happening Here, we look at the day “When This Mortal Shall Put On Immortality” to see when our innate desire to be greater than our biology will be fulfilled forever for those who believe. https://catenabible.com/1cor/15/53 For our third episode of Season Four we are looking at the “supermen” of history and examining the desire of the human heart to be greater than we are.

2/7/24 Meth and the WWII Supersoldiers "Superman or Bizarro-man?" part 3 Did you know that amphetamines debuted into the world right around the same time as WWII? Sometimes reality is stranger than fiction, and the strange story of “Meth and the WWII Supersoldiers” is strong evidence of that claim. It turns out that the innate human desire to overcome the limits of his own biology, when mixed with the sinful desire for dominance over other men, can manifest as a force strong enough to break the world and leave an unparalleled trail of death and destruction in its wake. I’d rather hide my weakness in Jesus Christ and wait for the immortal, incorruptible body He has promised me … but that’s tomorrow’s show! Come with me today back to the 1930s on Something’s Happening Here. https://time.com/5752114/nazi-military-drugs/ For our third episode of Season Four we are looking at the “supermen” of history and examining the desire of the human heart to be greater than we are.

2/6/24 The Giants of Old "Superman or Bizarro-man?" part 2 The desire to become something greater than we are is an idea as old as time; so while Elon Musk’s Neuralink may appear to be completely new, it’s really just the newest manifestation of the oldest idea on earth. So where did this idea come from, and why is it so strongly ingrained in our collective hearts? Today on Something’s Happening Here, we look to “The Giants of Old,” human and demon alike, to better understand this impulse within us, and turn to prophecy to see where that impulse may lead us going forward. https://answersingenesis.org/bible-characters/giants-in-the-bible/ For our third episode of Season Four we are looking at the “supermen” of history and examining the desire of the human heart to be greater than we are.

2/5/24 Neuralink’s First Human Recipient "Superman or Bizarro-man?" part 1 This week on Something’s Happening Here, we start with Elon Musk (again), who has just interfaced a human brain with a computer for the first time using his new Neuralink technology. But by studying this, we’re just beginning a week-long conversation about humanity’s longing to be “supermen,” to be greater than the confines of our biology and ultimately fight or overcome death by doing so. How has this impulse manifested in the past? Has it brought good or evil into the world – or both? And how does it all relate to Jesus Christ? I’m Steve Hicks, Director of Podcast Ministries for Talking Donkey International.

2/2/24 Can A.I. Be Trained in Marxism? "Marx and the Church" part 5 Okay, despite the title of today’s show, no one is claiming to be training artificial intelligence in Marxism. (At least not yet.) But as we’ll see today on Something’s Happening Here, some are experimenting with training A.I. in certain behaviors that share a lot in common with cultural-Marxist thought and practice. And what is the result? Not that dissimilar to what happens when you train an actual person in such ideas and behaviors! As if unleashing Marxism on the entire planet in the 20th century wasn’t enough, with its ensuing slaughter of 100 million people, it looks like we’re preparing to unleash it into the virtual world also! Whatever could be the result? On this week’s A.I. Update, we’ll use this conundrum to demonstrate the importance of salvation in Christ Jesus, and why that miracle cannot be replicated by a machine. https://futurism.com/the-byte/ai-deceive-creators? This week on our second episode of Season Four we’re tackling what some have called the church’s greatest enemy for more than a hundred years now: Marxism in all its forms.

2/1/24 The Virtue-Signal of Victimhood "Marx and the Church" part 4 How did this happen? It is well documented that Christianity was instrumental in the downfall of the Soviet Union; how did it become the victim of Marxism just one generation later? Now that we’ve really discussed the dangers of Marxism in the church, I hope it’s clear that this is a condition from which the church must wake up and repent in order to be ready for Christ’s soon return. So to study out this problem, we’re going to spend some time in Revelation chapters 2&3 today. Put on your Prophecy Hats today, friends, and get ready for Something’s Happening Here. We’ll do some cultural criticism through the lens of prophecy on today’s show, “The Virtue-Signal of Victimhood.” https://cornerstonesj.org/marx-in-sheeps-clothing/ This week on our second episode of Season Four we’re tackling what some have called the church’s greatest enemy for more than a hundred years now: Marxism in all its forms.

1/31/24 The Gospel According to Marx "Marx and the Church" part 3 It has become increasingly popular in certain circles over the past few years to recognize that Marxism and all its downstream ideologies are, at their core, faith systems; so we’re not going to reinvent the wheel on today’s show, “The Gospel According to Marx.” (See what I did there?) Today on Something’s Happening Here we will look at some inverted parallels between Marxism and Christianity, for those viewers who don’t already understand this. But more importantly, we’ll look at the Scriptural and prophetic reasons why it is this way, why it MUST be this way, why it could not be any other way. What if “cultural Marxism” is just the modern manifestation of a battle against God as old as time? Once you see the conflict, on whose side will you choose to be? Welcome to our mid-week show. https://www.forbes.com/sites/billflax/2011/05/12/do-marxism-and-christianity-have-anything-in-common/?sh=992020f6877e This week on our second episode of Season Four we’re tackling what some have called the church’s greatest enemy for more than a hundred years now: Marxism in all its forms.
