In 40 days, the little band of men who had fled in terror on the night of Jesus’ arrest had been gathered, forgiven, restored, and strengthened. They had their minds opened and renewed as they listened to “the things concerning the Kingdom.” The Resurrected Teacher was putting the finishing touches on His work to prepare them for the challenge that lay before them.

The Blue Ridge Parkway is the longest roadway in the U.S. that was planned as a single unit. Its origin is connected to government efforts to provide relief from the Great Depression, and conservation of the Blue Ridge Mountains.   Research: "Restoring Western North Carolina's Infrastructure: NCDOT Receives $250 Million in Federal Emergency Relief Funds."

In this explosive episode, we break down the most dangerous escalation yet in the Russia-Ukraine conflict. Ukraine has launched its largest drone assault to date, crippling Russia’s strategic bomber fleet and destroying key airbases deep inside Russian territory. Just days earlier, a separate Ukrainian drone strike reportedly targeted Vladimir Putin himself during a visit near the border. With advanced weaponry, precision strikes, and real-time intel suspected to be coming from NATO allies, the line between proxy war and direct confrontation is vanishing fast. Is NATO quietly pulling the strings behind Ukraine's bold offensives? Could these attacks provoke a full-scale Russian retaliation? And are we now on the brink of World War 3? We break it all down — the facts, the theories, and what the mainstream media won’t dare touch. Tune in now. The world is watching. The fuse may already be lit.
