5/24/24 "In Defense of the Scripture" part 3 S4E16p3 Today on Something’s Happening Here, we end Season Four in the book of Revelation. All week we’ve been arguing In Defense of the Scripture, and today we’ll look to the prophetic future to see why this question is so important. Prophecy reveals that the deceptions to come will be so strong that the whole world will fall into error, as well as what God’s people are to do to avoid it. But how can you know Bible prophecy without knowing the Bible? Many people who claim the name Christian today are in for a big surprise when prophecy becomes reality, and at Talking Donkey International we pray that you’ll be among those who respond to God’s final call in Revelation 18:4, because otherwise “You’ll Follow Babylon Straight to Hellfire If You Don’t Know Bible Prophecy.” Grab your Bibles and let’s learn how to avoid that! https://www.gotquestions.org/Marxism-Christian.html It’s the finale of Season Four! The Word of God is under attack – and often from within the church! (Just like Scripture promises.) Something’s Happening Here defends the Bible and explores the prophetic importance of doing so.

5/22/24 "In Defense of the Scripture" part 2 S4E16p2 Those who don’t learn from history are doomed to repeat it. Or as Solomon said in Ecclesiastes 1:9, “That which has been is what will be, That which is done is what will be done, And there is nothing new under the sun.” Today on Something’s Happening Here, we look to history to see where and when a lot of the modern Bible hating began, and realize it was prophesied to be as such in the book of Revelation. Will the outcome be the same now as back then? All that and more with ‘“The Two Witnesses” In Prophetic History – Are We Living in a Similar Moment Now?’ Then on Friday we’ll look to the prophetic future to see where all this Bible hatred is going and why it matters how we understand the Scripture today. https://www.worldhistory.org/Cult_of_the_Supreme_Being/ https://www.history.com/this-day-in-history/robespierre-overthrown-in-france It’s the finale of Season Four!

5/20/24 "In Defense of the Scripture" part 1 S4E16p1 All good things must come to an end – and this week’s episode brings us to the end of Season Four. Something’s Happening Here is about to take a break for a while, so we’re closing with a strong appeal in favor of the Holy Scriptures. Did you know that the world is deeply hostile toward the Bible? Of course you did. But did you know that a sizeable amount of that hostility comes from within the church, too? We begin the week’s episode with some examples of modern-day Bible hating in their subtle forms on today’s show called “Of Course the World Hates the Bible – But Many Within the Church Do Too!”; then Wednesday we’ll look to history and prophecy to see where a lot of today’s hatred stems from; then Friday we’ll look to the future to see why it all matters. Ready? Put on your Prophecy Hats and welcome to the show! https://www.vox.com/down-to-earth/2024/5/13/24153901/cicadas-2024-bood-xix-xiii-emergence https://www.theguardian.com/science/2012/may/19/richard-dawkins-king-james-bible https://ehrmanblog.org/the-strange-world-of-textual-criticism/ It’s the finale of Season Four!

5/17/24 "To All the World as a Witness" part 3 S4E15p3 Today on Something’s Happening Here, we identify one crucial aspect of God’s final message of repentance to the world and beg us all to incorporate it into our lives as we wait for Christ’s return. But like we’ve seen throughout the week, the world at large (and even sometimes the church) says (and even shouts) the precise opposite of what God is saying to His people. So don’t be surprised if this one crucial aspect is something you’ve been taught to ignore or disregard. We’re finishing up our week-long program “To All the World as a Witness” with today’s rejuvenating show, “Rest Your Way Into Eternity While the World Stresses Itself to Death.” https://newportbeachchristiancounseling.com/articles/how-regular-sabbath-improves-your-mental-and-physical-health/ https://www.adventist.org/the-sabbath/7-benefits-of-keeping-the-sabbath/ The world needs to hear the gospel, perhaps now more than ever as we wait for Christ’s return.

5/15/24 "To All the World as a Witness" part 2 S4E15p2 Just about the worst thing you can be called these days is “judgmental,” or any of its daughter terms like “racist” “sexist” “-phobic” of any kind. The secular religion of the modern world says that everyone is equally correct and valid and equal in every single way all the time, so saying otherwise makes you judgmental. A bigot of some kind. Well all week long, Something’s Happening Here is preaching the everlasting gospel with our episode “To All the World as a Witness,” and Revelation 14:7 says that gospel includes a judgment aspect. Is it possible that the modern judgment-phobia of the world is the workings of the devil, even when spoken in the name of Jesus? We’ll discuss that and more on today’s show, “The World Wants to Avoid Being Judged And Thus Guarantees Its Own Judgment.” https://www.thefire.org/news/world-without-hate-speech The world needs to hear the gospel, perhaps now more than ever as we wait for Christ’s return.

5/13/24 "To All the World as a Witness" part 1 S4E15p1 I recently had a conversation with an enthusiastic Christian believer. When I asked him to explain the gospel to me, he used many words to say, essentially, “be nice to each other.” He didn’t mention Jesus once. This was just the most recent example for me of what I’ve known for a long time, unfortunately: despite one of every three people on earth claiming the title “Christian,” the gospel is not very well understood at all. So this week on Something’s Happening Here, we are preaching this gospel of the kingdom “To All the World as a Witness,” starting with today’s show, “The World Shouts Its Evils and Condemns Its Goodness In These Last Days.” I’m Steve Hicks, Director of Podcast Ministries for Talking Donkey International. Grab your Bibles and let’s start the show! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ShoutYourAbortion The world needs to hear the gospel, perhaps now more than ever as we wait for Christ’s return.

5/10/24 "How Can You Know the Real God?" part 3 S4E14p3 I’m always shocked when I meet Christians who argue against the importance of reading and knowing Scripture. I just met another one last week, in fact! He told me proudly how he learned about God from Scripture then warned me that Scripture isn’t the best way to know God. And that made sense to him. All week on Something’s Happening Here, we’ve been asking “How Can You Know the Real God?” and looking at real-world examples of how knowing Him is important. Today we’re tackling the issue head-on: the central importance of the Bible to a believer’s knowledge of and relationship with Jesus Christ. Are you ready? Because if Scripture is the best way to know Christ, and most believer’s don’t study Scripture (and most really don’t), then who is the god they think they know? https://www.cru.org/us/en/train-and-grow/bible-studies/reasons-read-bible.html True versus false seems to be the conflict of the Internet Age. But amid the controversies of misinformation and propaganda is the ages-old question of the true God versus the false. As we near the conclusion of Season Four, Something’s Happening Here will argue this basic question.

5/6/24 "How Can You Know the Real God?" part 1 S4E14p1 I was just as surprised as everybody else when Russell Brand announced his decision for baptism, and a lot has been said about it since he took the plunge, so to speak. Is he sincere in his faith? Is he running cover because of criminal allegations? Is he a baptized pagan? So rather than add to or repeat those conversations, Something’s Happening Here will use it as a launchpoint for prophecy! Whether Mr. Brand knows the real God or not, he gives us an opportunity to discuss the prophetic importance of knowing the real God leading up to Christ’s return. Thanks for joining us today as we begin our week-long episode called “How Can You Know the Real God?” with today’s show, “Russell Brand’s Baptism: Sincere or Stunt?

5/8/24 "How Can You Know the Real God?" part 2 S4E14p2 The pro-Hamas protests got turned up to eleven recently as several college campuses nationwide fell victim to violent antics by alleged protestors who were loudly demanding the right to eliminate Jews from the earth. These protests, of course, were no more than Occupy Wall Street and Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone back just in time for another election, and they met with similar fates, complete with police in riot gear, mass arrests, and even a presidential condemnation. Well we just did an episode on protest last week, so today we will use these campus catastrophes where students are damaging their own cause trying to save the world with virtue signals to continue to ask, “How Can You Know the Real God?” After all, are these protests not, at their core, religious in nature?

5/3/24 "The Art and Folly of Protest" part 3 S4E13p3 We’ve seen authoritarian protesters. We’ve seen authoritarian answers to protestors. What will we see when the universe protests against the ultimate authority over all? And what in the world am I talking about? I’m referencing solid theology from a popular prophetic passage, but maybe you’d never know it by my description because apparently my school of prophetic thought is “almost non-existent today,” according to my favorite terrible article that I told you we’d have to revisit soon. Put on your Prophecy Hats as we study “The Greatest Protest in the Universe, and God’s Masterful Handling of It,” and argue a bit of hermeneutics while we’re at it. I’m Steve Hicks, Director of Podcast Ministries for Talking Donkey International; thanks for watching this week’s episode, and welcome to the show. https://www.theshepherds.church/blog/your-eschatology-matters We’re living in a moment of worldwide protest. As we wind down Season Four, this week we look at different protests and their aftermaths, and look to the Bible to see how God handles protestors prophetically.

5/1/24 "The Art and Folly of Protest" part 2 S4E13p2 A year and a half later, and we get to revisit our very first episode topic, back in the news again! Today on Something’s Happening Here, we share the sad tale of Toomaj Salehi, who has recently been condemned to death in Iran for the heinous crime of speaking publicly about being tortured by police while in jail for believing a woman should not be beaten to death while in police custody for wearing her hijab wrong, and saying so out loud. And I’m not making up a single detail of that, amazingly. Our debut episode “For the Love of God” looked at this story, and now we get to look at its aftermath. In many ways it is the precise opposite of Monday’s show to be “Sentenced to Death for Claiming Police Brutality While Imprisoned for Supporting the Mahsa Amini Protests.” https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/iranian-hip-hop-star-sentenced-to-death/ar-AA1nABvq We’re living in a moment of worldwide protest.

4/29/24 "The Art and Folly of Protest" part 1 S4E13p1 Today on Something’s Happening Here, we look at the tale of a protester who went too far at a Bakersfield City Council meeting; and having lived in Bakersfield myself for a little while, I have some opinions about that, for sure. But we tell the story not just as a cautionary tale about the importance of knowing your audience, but also in service of the big point for this week: human judgment versus divine judgment; human response to protest versus divine response to protest. We’ll look at an example on the opposite end of the spectrum on Wednesday, and bring the discussion straight up to Heaven on Friday, but for today we start by asking: “Who Threatens Murder at a Bakersfield City Council Meeting? Seriously, have you BEEN to Bakersfield?” https://nypost.com/2024/04/14/world-news/anti-israel-protester-riddhi-patel-sobs-during-arraignment/ We’re living in a moment of worldwide protest.

4/26/24 “Approaching the Boiling Point” part 3 S4E12p3 I consume a lot of unfortunate and even sickening news stories to produce this program, but every once in a while the sheer wickedness of humanity just floors me. When I read about this mother who abandoned her baby and let it starve to death alone while she went on vacation, it troubled me so much I knew it would be on this program for days before I knew what I wanted to say about it. We’re concluding our week-long episode about the world’s rapidly approaching boiling point by using this murderous mother’s stomach-turning story as an example of the natural end-result of what we discussed on Monday and Wednesday. Thanks for ending your week with us as we ask the surprisingly complex question, “Who’s to Blame When a Mother Starves Her Baby to Death?” https://abcnews4.com/news/nation-world/mother-who-left-toddler-in-playpen-for-10-days-sentenced-to-life-for-aggravated-murder-kristel-candelario-jailyn-child-endangerment-cleveland-ohio-cuyahoga-county-pack-n-play?

4/24/24 “Approaching the Boiling Point” part 2 S4E12p2 There’s no easier way to whip a crowd into a frenzy than to convince them of a common enemy. Every despot in history has shown us that, and America today is full of similar sentiments against various groups right now. But it’s increasingly obvious that the corporate news organizations might not just be exacerbating this problem, but perpetuating and even to some degree creating it as well! Today on Something’s Happening Here we look at the unfolding drama at NPR, which I’m more inclined to call the real-time suicide of NPR, as we build on Monday’s show about the ongoing spiritual war playing itself out in front of our noses.

4/22/24 “Approaching the Boiling Point” part 1 S4E12p1 Welcome to Something’s Happening Here! Thanks for your patience as we took a production break last week to deal with the many other things that demand our attention. But we’re back with another round of spiritual insights based on Scripture as we examine the current events around us. Today we begin our week-long episode about the world’s rapidly approaching boiling point by looking at the nation of Iran. It’s been in the news lately after attacking Israel with rockets and drones, but we look back an entire generation to see what else might be going on in the former Persian Empire.

4/12 "The Spirit Within You" part 3 S4E11p3 Today on Something’s Happening Here, we contend that the reason that the subject of the End Times is so confusing, scary, and mysterious to so many people is because of the misunderstandings we’ve discussed on the program earlier this week. While Scripture does offer much good advice about how to best prepare for and endure that which the Bible says is still to come, it gives really just one requirement for believers in the Last Days. Why is it so elusive? Why is its absence in the last-days church worthy of prophetic warning by Jesus? We conclude our week-long episode “The Spirit Within You” with today’s show, “The One Key to Navigating the End Times – Without This You’re Lost!” Welcome. https://www.theshepherds.church/blog/your-eschatology-matters As we’re nearing the end of Season Four, Something’s Happening Here spends this episode with the human spirit: what the Bible says it is, how it’s under attack, and why it’s important as we anticipate Christ’s return.

4/10 "The Spirit Within You" part 2 S4E11p2 What happens when an idea so common that it forms the basis of much folklore, popular entertainment, common conversation, and even major religious thinking, turns out to be false? Once you realize it’s wrong, do you ignore that evidence and continue to function as before? Or do you value the truth highly enough to change your life toward it? Today on Something’s Happening Here, we continue our episode “The Spirit Within You” to include a discussion on the spirit that is NOT within you, because this idea will be a huge stumbling block for the world on the eve of Christ’s return.

4/8 "The Spirit Within You" part 1 S4E11p1 The mystery which God hid from generations but then revealed at Pentecost was “Christ in me, the hope of glory.” It’s a popular phrase, on the lips of many believers everywhere. But what does it mean? Why is it still a mystery to so many? How is this topic crucial for believers before Christ’s return? This week on Something’s Happening Here, we’re looking at the claims the Bible makes about “The Spirit Within You” and comparing them to what the world says about the topic of humans and spirits. We’ll see the devil on full assault in these last days, while many just sleepwalk right into the devil’s trap. Join us for all three shows this week, Monday Wednesday and Friday, to get the fullness of this Biblical argument and its prophetic relevance for believers today.

4/5/24 "The Road to Emmaus" part 3 S4E10p3 Today on Something’s Happening Here, we start with yet another talking head’s perspective on the problem of hopelessness in today’s youth, but we progress from there to my testimony of struggling with the same problems in the days of my own youth, and how the Lord rescued me from myself many years ago. That same God stands ready today with the same solution for all who are willing to come to Him in faith. Join us as we conclude this week’s resurrection episode, “The Road to Emmaus,” where we will see that even statistics agree that “Divine Hope is the Key to Solving Mental Health Crises.” I’m Steve Hicks, Director of Podcast Ministries for Talking Donkey International.

4/3/24 "The Road to Emmaus" part 2 S4E10p2 My young daughter recently did a school report on the nation of Canada. I had a hard time not insisting that she list the travesty of the Canadian government’s response to the trucker convoy protests in Ottawa in 2022. But my impulse was not just a curmudgeonly old man’s rantings, because I believed even at the time that nothing would be the same for Canada ever again after that. And it turns out even the Royal Canadian Mounted Police believe the death of Canada is imminent! How can Jesus be the answer to chronic, endemic financial strain and failure? For Canada’s sake, I hope we can figure out the answer to that problem!

4/1/24 "The Road to Emmaus" part 1 S4E10p1 Everything seemed hopeless on the day Jesus rose from the tomb, until He appeared to prove that hope had triumphed over death, and forevermore for believers everywhere. But fast forward nearly two thousand years and the youth of today appear to be more hopeless than ever. This week on Something’s Happening Here, we are looking at various ways the world declares its hopelessness, but to demonstrate that Christ Jesus is the answer today, just as He was on Resurrection Sunday millennia ago. On today’s opening show, “The Hopelessness of Youth, and the Looming End of the World,” we look at Gen Z’s self-proclaimed hopelessness and suggest how Christ Jesus can be the answer to a lost generation if they’ll only accept Him. We’ll also see a bit of media and academic malfeasance while we’re at it!

“Dying for a Red Heifer” part 3 S4E9p3 The world likes to dismiss differences in religious thinking and tradition. But what if there are fewer differences between traditions than we even realize most of the time? Today on Something’s Happening Here, we examine one of the key components of the “rebuilding the temple” theology against, of all things, the Talmud! And what we find there looks a lot like what we read in the New Testament, except absent of Jesus. I’ve stated since Monday that Jesus is the answer to the entire Middle Eastern mess, and today on Something’s Happening Here we’ll see the importance of Jesus in religious thinking broadly. How does a single line of thinking change when Jesus is removed from it? Put on your Prophecy Hats to end our week, on today’s show called “When Christ Shall Come … Again? Or For the First Time? How Revelation 20 Confirms AND Denies the Talmud.” https://www.france24.com/en/live-news/20230605-the-israelis-set-for-new-jewish-temple-on-al-aqsa-site https://www.sefaria.org/Sanhedrin.97a.14?lang=bi Something’s Happening Here is settling in to its new 3-day format with this week’s episode all about the basic ways that poor Bible study leads to death and tragedy, and how Jesus Christ can solve it all.

“Dying for a Red Heifer” part 2 S4E9p2 The site where Abraham took Isaac to be sacrificed is also where God brought an end to the plague which followed King David’s sinful census. It is also, therefore, where Solomon’s Temple was built. Later, it was where the Second Temple, where Jesus walked and taught, was built. Today, and for the past several centuries, it is the site of al-Aqsa mosque. And if that last details seems out of place to you compared to the site’s history, you’re not alone in thinking so. As we saw on Monday, many intend to restore that site to Jewish rule and the building of a new temple to the God of the Bible. So we have to ask ourselves: what makes a building a temple? Is it its location? Its contents? The words spoken inside it? Today on Something’s Happening Here we look at some data from the Old Testament and New about how God defines a temple, and whether a new building in Jerusalem would count as such, on our show titled, “The Third Temple, the Shekinah, and Warfare Over a Missing Box.” https://ayinpress.org/what-are-we-praying-for-reimagining-the-third-temple-in-jewish-thought-and-politics/ Something’s Happening Here is settling in to its new 3-day format with this week’s episode all about the basic ways that poor Bible study leads to death and tragedy, and how Jesus Christ can solve it all.

“Dying for a Red Heifer” part 1 S4E9p1 As war continues to rage in Gaza between Hamas and Israel, tens of thousands of people have died from injury, hunger, or disease; plus, of course, the original 1,200 or so Israeli victims of the October 7, 2023 attack. All that seems like a high price to pay for any reason at all, but what if among the reasons given was the purchase of some red cows from Texas? Believe it or not, red heifers are at the heart of this war, and whatever chaos carries forth from it. This week on Something’s Happening Here, we will look at the bovine responsible for the current war, and the many issues that surround them. On today’s show, we’ll examine the Biblical claims about these heifers made by the various groups involved, and see – as the show title states directly – that These Basic Bible Study Principles Could Apparently Avoid War, or its alternate title, The Tragedy of Poor Exegesis. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/israel-war-hamas-red-heifers-from-texas-jerusalem-jewish-temple-al-aqsa/ https://www.wsj.com/articles/hamas-and-the-al-aqsa-lie-prompted-attacks-israel-nazi-islamist-anti-semitism-394818c paywalled Something’s Happening Here is settling in to its new 3-day format with this week’s episode all about the basic ways that poor Bible study leads to death and tragedy, and how Jesus Christ can solve it all.

3/22/24 "Rampage of the Southern King?" part 5 - Repeat Episode from November 2023 God promises that all things work together for the good of those who love Him; but it can seem difficult to find the good that God promises when things aren’t working well in the world around you. On today’s final show of the week, called “Some People Burn Down Cities When They Don’t Get Their Way. The Rest of Us Trust in God,” we use what we’ve studied in Daniel 11 to see God’s mercy in action even in the face of frustrating political outcomes that seem to be in contrast to His principles. Sorry there’s no A.I. Update this week, but sometimes a topic requires all five days.
