- 社会/文化
My podcasts vary from interviews with people, storytelling of my past experiences, and sharing other stories that are uplifting, caring, and sensitive topics most people don't want to engage in, but listen to with interest and concern. Some of the podcasts contain Christian connotations and current events at the time of the podcast. The intent is for uplifting moments while sharing life lessons and reasonable thinking.

Laying down on the job | Ezekiel 4:4-6
According to the book of Ezekiel, God instructed him to lie on his left side for 390 days to symbolically bear the iniquity of the house of Israel, and then on his right side for 40 days to bear the iniquity of the house of Judah (Ezekiel 4:4-6). This symbolic act was part of a series of dramatic signs and actions that Ezekiel performed to convey God's messages to the people of Israel.
Ezekiel's act of lying on his side for an extended period was a symbolic action commanded by God to convey a message of judgment against Israel and Judah. This can be explained with the relevant biblical references. Listen in for more relevant details.
