It's gardening season! Planting seeds in the earth reminds us of all the good fruit that can come forth from a small seed. As Christians, we are laboring to plant seeds of truth wherever God has called us, trusting Him to continue to bring forth a great harvest in His time. Don't forget that a seed of truth is alive and it is powerful, no matter how insignificant, inert (or even crazy) it may seem when it is planted.
Discussion: Location of the Biblical Rephidim. Dr. Aardsma has recently identified the archaeological site that is the biblical Rephidim (a significant stop in the Israelites’ journey en route from Egypt to Sinai). In this place, Israel fought the Amalekites in the wilderness. When Moses held up his hands during the battle, Israel prevailed. Also at Rephidim, Moses struck a rock and water came forth for the very thirsty Israelites.Join us for a lively discussion, as we examine the biblical account in light of the location and archaeological finds at Be'er Resisim.
Featured Video: Location of the True Mount Sinai. In this brand new video, Steve discusses several biblical "tests" that identify Mt. Yeroham as the true Mt. Sinai.
Featured Product: Time Charts from The Biblical Chronologist. Reap the benefits of decades of research! By placing biblical and secular history side by side, with each event at its proper date, these time charts enable you to see the proper harmonization of biblical and secular histories at a glance.
Aging 101: In this segment we focus on all that is currently known about aging through Dr. Aardsma's decades of research, which has culminated in the discovery of the anti-aging vitamins. Today's lesson: Lesson 6: The example of Vitamin B3 and Pellagra.
I've Got Questions: "Is it right for the Christian to desire to live longer by supplementing the anti-aging vitamins? Isn't this a vain and worldly pursuit?"
Quote of Note: "If you're drowning and a boat comes along...."

We’re hoisting the sails for another adventure on the high seas of real science, real Bible, real history, and real world!This month we begin by continuing our multi-part discussion on the Missing Millennium discovery, correlating biblical history with extra-biblical data, in a fashion which is both intellectually satisfying and true to the text of Scripture and the data of science. This sure does get us into some interesting (even unexpected) territory—as the pursuit of truth always does.
Discussion: Overview of the Missing Millennium Discovery. Chronology truly is the backbone of history. Biblical chronology is foundational to Christian apologetics. It is essentially impossible to defend Biblical historicity apart from a true and accurate Biblical chronology. Last month we explained how Dr. Aardsma came to the realization, decades ago, that a full millennium had been accidentally dropped from traditional biblical chronology. This month we will discuss how this works out biblically. How could a full millennium have been accidentally dropped? Read more on this topic here.
Featured Video: Are the Ancient Bible Stories Actually True? In this video, Steve discusses the very real problem of early Old Testament biblical accounts oddly missing from the historical records and archaeological finds. Instead of groping about for answers that heap confusion upon confusion, there is a simple (but unexpected) path to clarity.
I've Got Questions: How did Ussher miss this?
Truth in Time: Spring and summer itinerary.

Aging 101: In this segment we focus on all that is currently known about aging through Dr. Aardsma's decades of research, which has culminated in the discovery of the anti-aging vitamins. Today's lesson: Lesson 5- The Example of Vitamin C and Scurvy

Thanks for joining us for another month of real science, real Bible, real history, real world. We start off this month with a trivia question: "What well-known event in the life of Moses happened at a place called Rephidim?" Listen for the answer!
This month we begin a multi-part discussion on the Missing Millennium discovery that will continue over the next couple of months.
Discussion: History of the Missing Millennium Discovery. This month we will share some of Dr. Aardsma's personal story about how his journey led him to the missing millennium discovery, decades ago. You may be surprised to learn what Dr. Aardsma set out to do after finishing graduate school, and where his pursuit of truth ultimately led him. Read more on this topic here.
Research Updates: Dr. Aardsma has continued to work on mapping the route of the Exodus—identifying the places that the Israelites camped when they left Egypt over 4,000 years ago. He has now identified six of the eleven stops from Egypt to Sinai. Rephidim is an important location in the Israelites’ journey where some very significant events took place. The unique details of this specific site help us to understand much more about the biblical account and, once again, to stand in awe of God and His works in history. Volume 13, Number 3: "The Route of the Exodus, Part IV: The Identification of Rephidim"
Quote of Note: "When I was young I was poor..."
Aging 101: In this segment we focus on all that is currently known about aging through Dr. Aardsma's decades of research, which has culminated in the discovery of the anti-aging vitamins. Today's lesson: Pop quiz!

Thanks for joining us for another month of real science, real Bible, real history, real world. Although science has fallen into disrepute in some segments of Christianity in recent decades, we know that science itself is just knowledge. It is knowledge about God's world. We do not need to be afraid of it, mock it, or sideline it (and indeed we must not).
Likewise, the Bible has fallen into disrepute in many segments of our world today. We know that the Bible itself is a historical record; a treasure trove of ancient history. It is a record of God's works in God's world. We do not need to sideline it, ignore it, or contort it (and indeed we must not).
Here you will find refreshing simplicity, even as we grow and learn in our human struggle to comprehend. As we take a high view of both God's world and God's word, we see them come into beautiful harmony.
Highlights of this episode:
Discussion: Faith vs. Reason / Natural vs. Supernatural. Is it right for Christians to look for evidence of God's works in history? Shouldn't we just take the Bible by faith? Is it right for Christians to seek scientific explanations for things God has done, such as the Flood and manna? This month we look at three biblical examples (Gideon, Philip, and Paul) to help answer these questions.
Quote of Note: "The natural and the supernatural are both there side by side..."
Research Updates: The Biblical Chronologist research newsletter is the place where Dr. Aardsma first records and publishes his findings. In recent weeks he has published two new issues:
Volume 13, Number 1: "The Route of the Exodus, Part II: The Encampment at Etham"
Volume 13, Number 2: "The Route of the Exodus, Part III: The Location of Elim"
Aging 101: In this segment we focus on all that is currently known about aging through Dr. Aardsma's decades of research, which has culminated in the discovery of the anti-aging vitamins. Today's lesson: Aging is fundamentally a vitamin deficiency disease of two previously unknown vitamins.
Testimonial: Dale and Naomi, age 46

Thank you for joining us for another episode packed full of faith-strengthening content as we consider God's works in history, as well as some ways He is at work today.
Highlights of this episode:
Discussion: Finding the true Mount Sinai. When you get the chronology right, you can identify Exodus pottery for the first time, and the trail of this pottery then leads you to some amazing realizations. We followed the pottery to the location of the Red (Reed) Sea Crossing in our last episode, and this time we will come to the actual site of the true Mount Sinai. Read Dr. Aardsma's account of visiting Mount Sinai in the summer of 2000 in his BC Newsletter, Yeroham: The True Mt. Sinai. For more discussion of this topic, you can read Steve's article, Location of the True Mount Sinai

BCM January 2023
Happy New Year! We have some big topics to discuss in 2023, and we hope you will join us each month in this new year.
Highlights of this episode:
Discussion: Finding the route of the Exodus and actual location of the "Red Sea" crossing. Did you know that the site of the Red Sea crossing is now known? Many have wondered about this for generations. When you get the chronology right, you can identify Exodus pottery for the first time, and the trail of this pottery then leads you to the actual site of the Red Sea crossing. It's that easy! The fact that the site the pottery leads you to is the right site is then further evidenced by its suitability to the biblical narrative in ways such as location, size, landmarks, etc. One may thereby rest assured that this is the right site, found at long last. See a map and other graphics at the full article here.
Featured Video: On the Right Road- The Route of the Exodus and Red Sea Crossing. In this video, Steve gives more detail about the evidence for the location of the site of the Red Sea crossing.
Aging 101: In this segment we will focus on all that is currently known about aging through Dr. Aardsma's decades of research, which has culminated in the discovery of the anti-aging vitamins. Today's lesson: Life Expectancies in the U.S. Today.
Interview: Steve and Jennifer join their son Joshua for a very interesting discussion on "The Coming Demographic Winter".
Testimonial: Michael, 46 years old, considers taking the anti-aging vitamins to be a proactive strategy for health.
Helen's View: Helen shares about Mulberry Lane Farm, a daughter company of Aardsma Research and Publishing that supports the research at ARP.
