Hello everyone and welcome to enter the ether of the weekly podcast all about the upcoming third person mobile ethereal clash of souls I'm your host the man goose and Introducing jelly knees if you enjoy sitting at a dartboard piecing together a puzzle that shouldn't be a puzzle of being the embodiment of conspiracies The jelly knees should be your main that introduction courtesy of actual meerkat if you have an introduction You have you want me to do for jelly knees stop by his discord tag me Let me know jelly knees. How you doing, brother? I'm great man goose. I've been surprised you actually did it It was a great idea Aka desmeric you're not wrong though. I make everything a puzzle whether it is or not You do but sometimes it is so Ah got a lot to get into this week, of course, there was the The Dante myth spotlight that jelly and I have both covered but we're gonna cover it a little more tonight Just banter back and forth get our thoughts on it But also something's been going on in the ethereal discord that caught both Both of our Attention fade to black. Let me know about it jelly. Go ahead. This is the greatest thing and this is what I love about like internet Communities is stupid stuff like this that also turns into like something amazing at the same time There are some people in the discord that have been speed-running drawing Grognark of all people And it started as a joke for one of them that he just posted this random youtube video of himself drawing Grognark And said it was the world record speedrun and then somebody else made one encounter to him just And then it like the descended the rabbit hole of like, okay, what different types of Grognark speedruns can we have what like different I I don't even know how it became a thing But I'm so glad that it did and I can't wait to see how it evolves over the coming week Because I'm sure it's not gonna stop there They they're both amazing and Hilarious like it's actually Kind of like there's a lot of talent there There's a lot of talent that you need to draw Grogg Grognark and like MS paint that fast and have it be recognizable like they're even put like the little Incredible the one thing I noticed about one of them. I think the user's name is C. Moisty in the discord In his he's got the two windows open one is paint and one is the timer But if you look at his tabs in the top left of the screen one of them says Grognark porn and I think that that is the greatest little Easter egg of my entire life It is the greatest Easter egg I I saw it and laughed for a solid 10 minutes like it's just incredible If the theory all becomes as popular as I hope it does there's going to be Grognark porn at all I'm just gonna leave that to you to find and I'm just not gonna worry about it. I'm gonna. I will find it. Nope. I'm good I'm out. Oh God, so yeah, that's so that's been going on and it's been Absolutely great, but onto some more serious news. We're finally getting myth spotlights. Jilly. What do you think that means? Do you think you think that means we're a We're getting closer and closer or what? I mean, I'd imagine we have to be if they're finally releasing images of the kits Of how the abilities work and granted we've known Dante, right? But it seems like this is leading up to other myths being released or announced as well getting their own spotlights Plus we're seeing more of the map. We're seeing people on the map We're like there's definitely things here that are indicating. We're getting much closer to that time This is really the most we've seen in terms of development for the game We actually have characters From the game on the map using abilities running around. That's the most we've ever gotten what just Paragon minions if there are actual minions are involved in it as well Yeah, so I think that's a huge step forward for them, which is great news and the community seems To have responded well to it as well We've seen I mean the last two days alone.  This is like I don't think they believe that ethereal was a real thing And now that they're actually seeing like the functional characters on a map It's I wouldn't call it. I wouldn't call it gameplay But they're seeing what has come about well But the fruits of undying labor and I think a lot of them are now really excited for ethereal. So Really good stuff. I'm hoping that it does drive more people towards the game because I want I want there to be plenty of People playing ethereal when it comes out agreed Yeah, we got to have enough people for the jelly goose comp too Stomp on Yeah, exactly All right, so let's let's talk about the the Dante spotlight now. What we got first so I mean the Yeah, so we're going to talk about the Dante spotlight and we're gonna immediately talk about Malaya instead because you know, whatever I didn't appreciate seeing my wife who died over and over and over. I'll tell you that right goddamn Yeah, excuse you how can she be your waifu if you don't have a Malaya body pillow? Oh, that's true. Yep. Sorry. I'll make one. I'll make one Next week just Just standing in the corner behind you oh dear lord next to a Grognark one We need one for Grognark now to the speedrunning community Yeah, so we got to see a little bit of Malaya and we got to see a minion so that was kind of a cool thing with Dante's Overview or spotlight whatever you want to call it so what else what did you want to talk about jelly? I mean so they did show us finally what Dante's passive is we saw what it looks like in the extra life test But it wasn't functional So we had no idea and they didn't tell us what the abilities were for him So we have we had no clue in that test what his passive actually was They told us that it's a basically a three hit passive for every consecutive hit you land on somebody You're going to get increased attack speed as long as you're still attacking them. You switch targets it resets But that's the the main gist of it, which I think fits well for Dante Really everything they've shown about his kit and what we've used so far makes him the really I think all around Carrie he's gonna be decent at everything. It's the what is it? I can't think of a thing the phrase now, but Wow, I am completely blanking. Yeah, I don't know. It's all good. Don't worry about it But yeah, he does be like kind of the twin blaster the Murdoch of ethereal and that he's I Don't want to call him generic or basic, but kind of generic and basic like he doesn't do anything to off the wall and crazy He's just he's it. He's what you want from your basic ADC. He's very straightforward Press the button the thing happens He's your he's the way I usually put it is he's your tutorial character He's the one that you can have somebody on a tutorial and without having to go too in-depth Explain their kit and have the person play that character Which is not a bad thing every game needs a handful of those characters for new players to pick up right in order to get them used to the mechanics of the game itself and That was one of the weird things about Paragon I think as well is that amount of characters that were had that kind of all-around feeling and were easy to pick up We're very few in select Everybody was so complicated that it had it was hard I think in another aspect for new players to pick that up So I'm excited to see that the first one we know about is this all-around Tutorial character type feel it's definitely good that he's going is going to be is going to be one of the first Seven in there because you definitely want you don't want to be testing in your testing phase to be testing out wacky shit You want to make sure that you're the foundations of your game are solid and these Kind of a building block of a theory a lot would say yeah, and so we don't myth We also found out he's going to be a striker and a dualist as part of the archetypes Right speaking of Kai commented on last week's ETE and said that the first 14 myths They will all be in one of the 14 archetypes that they will all fill into that I don't know how and I'm trying to figure it out in my brain But because because each one might have a sub archetype They could technically fit into an archetype without fully belonging to it at the same time, right? So that'll be interesting 14 so The other thing is that Dante's right mouse button changed his special ability So in the extra life test and I had to confirm this with you because I wasn't sure if I was crazy or what in the extra life Test when you pressed his right mouse button it just fired a volley of shots, right? There was nothing additional to it. You just press the button You got ten shots out and then at the end you were silenced and disabled In this they explained that that's changed now and instead is just a flat attack speed increase for Dante For ten autos or ten basic attacks.  I guess and now you use that attack speed Which I guess for a tutorial character is not a bad thing making him have a relatively less punishing special ability in comparison to others Or less Variable special ability that comparatively to others might be a good thing for him But we'll have to wait and see how it feels because we've only tried the previous version of it right Kind of like that previous version though like I wish that would have stayed yeah I kind of feel the same But I think it'll depend when it's max level is it going to really make that bit that big a difference Versus like level one because they said the attack speed increase can go over the attack speed cap as well So end of the game if he's already got max attack speed and then is using this He can really just pop off and we might get that same feeling like the extra life test version Right, but with this new different version as well, and you can still cancel in the middle of it kind of yeah But what else did we see man goose? status effects We saw him on Malaya and then we also saw them on Dante with his right click It was that weird cartoon bubble with the with the three dots I did confirm with them that is those are just placeholders.   I mean well, I shouldn't say that I don't know how long it's gonna stay, but it's not intended to be in the final product Something that was funny about that even though it's not going to stay is one of the comments on my YouTube video Said that it looks like Dante's cussing it every time his right click ends and I died laughing like Hubert style So good Son of a god That would be great I would love that But in addition to that we saw the slow effect around Malaya's feet From his I believe it's capsule of thunder that does the slow, right? So we saw that effect and that line that would great Yeah, absolutely. So I think that was good The I mean we talked about it briefly, but we saw a berserker minion Which is the first time we've seen their minions actually outside of concept art, which looks really good to me They were better sized than what they were in the extra life test. I know we talked to them a bit about that. Oh, yeah But so I'm excited to see how that works the berserker minion already being there I don't know if that means they have all of the minions done and we'll actually see those in pre alpha But or if that just is what all of the minions are gonna look like until we get all of the minion variation sometime later We'll have to pay attention if they do I Assume that they're going to do more myth spotlights will have to pay attention if there's minions and those what minions They use and the minion was walking very slow. I highly doubt that's going to be That I'm sure that was just for instructional purposes only that was that's not gonna be how fast minions actually move. Yeah The interesting thing speaking of where they were strolling the interesting thing that I've looked at a couple times And I can't quite figure it out is where they are on the map I'm sure that they're on the void lane based on how it all looks But I'm not sure if they're actually in the lane itself Because the way it's set up feels like they're in a weird spot than what we've seen that look like it doesn't look Wide enough to be an actual lane doesn't yeah But in some of the shots you can see turrets in the distance So I'm not sure if it is a lane or isn't a lane or what all is involved with that So it'll be interesting to see if that other spotlights take place in that same place Or we're gonna see different sections of the map or what that all looks like right? I suppose we'll find out and then uh Yeah, I guess you're already alluding to it more to the map We got to see a little a little bit more of the map and Yeah, I agree with you. This looked more like a jungle pathway than an actual lane Yeah, those are the lanes that they need to widen them out a little bit of an it seems really narrow And even the path that it that they were on Seemed didn't feel like a lane So if that is the path definitely needs to be widened at the very minimum for a visual aesthetic of this is a well Traveled area rather than like the jungle one which makes sense to have a smaller skinnier line as you're following through it It didn't even look like a a wave of minions would fit down that little Yeah, maybe it was just the perspective that we were seeing and they showed Dante running through the river as Well, and it didn't look like he lost any movement speed running into the river Which was something I was curious about to see if that while you're in there because of the water moving You might lose move speed one way or the other doesn't look like that's going to be a thing So that's good to hear at least I think for a lot of people because that means you can travel through that river without feeling like you're going to You're at a exposed state in that same process That would be interesting that river was huge huge That's how that's how wide I would expect a lane to be maybe yeah The and then the stupid obelisk at the end is driving me insane because I I just want to know what it does and Even skifter who I believe recorded a lot of if not all of the stuff for the spotlight Said that he purposefully panned up to the obelisk purely because he knew I would lose it But in doing so he kind of confirmed that that is the obelisk I don't think we actually knew whether or not that was the obelisk or not Or if that was teleporters some of us knew another thing for the tinfoil task force We knew the whole time you didn't know we knew man goose. You don't understand Oh Yeah, so the obelisk will figure it out one of these days The game's gonna come out. They're still not gonna tell us what it does purely so I can just lose my mind That towards the end I would say it was a moat you're saying that you think it might have been a back animation I do think it was a back animation because of the way Knowing that a lot of the UG devs are league players is a big thing for me And all almost all of the back animations or all of them for league have a blue circle on the ground that is kind of like a a Sigil of some kind for lack of a better way to put it and then you have the blue particle effects coming up into the air But I think that's more than likely a back animation Okay, but it could be an emote. Maybe he just puts a thing on the ground as his emote because Transmuters, I don't know I mean, it's cool either way whether it's a an emote or a back animation It's nice to see that they have that in the game already. Mm-hmm. Absolutely And then those were the things I pointed out. It was nice to see death animations You don't see death animations very often.  I didn't I personally didn't think it was cheesy, but I mean, there's a little it was a little hammy you know Who's gonna jump up flip around in the air that fall down. Oh, no, I'm dead I did a backflip though because like fine. I gotta be fabulous as I die But I think it's really cool that they have death animations in already Yeah, like usually it's just people just explode and then you don't know what happened Yeah, and hit registration too was a big thing every time Malaya hit with a attack She would always kind of recoil backwards a little bit Which was a complaint a lot of people had about the extra life test is that you didn't have that feedback of Getting hit so I think seeing that helped a lot of people get past that at the very least if not Become more on board with the whole thing It's a lot of the reason a lot of the para zombies felt very hollow is that there wasn't enough of a hit reaction and Like we've talked about the visceral experience the paragon was like well I've talked about it at least quite a bit and that's what added to it you when you hit somebody that kind of reacted to to being hit and you can watch your your your basic attacks impact on them and that's clearly visible in this myth spotlight is the and the Dante's basic attacks come out and there's an explosion around his transmitter. So you could tell when he's firing That you see an obvious projectile fly through the air and then shatter upon Malaya or the minion or whatever And it's just going to be really nice to see that projectile shatter and know that you hit your shot Mm-hmm like getting that visual feedback and immersive feedback to let you know what's going on Yeah, absolutely. It was lacking from a lot of the pairs. It's still lacking from a lot of them But it's looks like it's something we're going to get from a theory. Oh, yep And it looks I there were a lot of comments seeming going both ways about the visual effects themselves Mm-hmm that they looked good or looked bad or whatever it was. I personally think that they looked fine I won't say like they were the greatest thing I've ever seen But I wouldn't say they looked bad by any stretch of the imagination either Especially for a free alpha title basic attack animations are just all the visual just the visual animations across the board the biggest ones I heard were the one his go-long ability and his ultimate that people were complaining about The was ultimate was weird Because it would break out into a triple view of Dante which When you're watching it as fast as it happens It's like it's like what was that like what was that every single time and like I was watching it I had to Import it into Premiere and slow it down and go frame by frame to figure out that it was just a triple to view of him I don't think that's necessary. I don't know why it's there I think if it was like a single-player game, that's a nice touch But I think in a multiplayer game where you're gonna be constantly questioning Is there another enemy nearby or anything like that having something clutter your vision and Maybe make you think that there's something that there isn't yeah could get really annoying really really fast. Yeah Yeah, it was a little odd. I think they could just replace that with an explosion Just real basic. Yep And I but yeah, I think the sound was slightly different than the extra life test on his ultimate as well Granted the base wasn't turned to 11 but But even in general it sounded I think more crisp than it did in the extra life test as a whole So the sound design is incredible for these That's probably some feedback that they got from the extra life We were all calling it the base drop and Talking about how freaking loud we're gonna call it that till the end of time now though So even players are gonna pick up the game and not know why we call it that but still call it that like it's just like Five years from now. That's gonna be like a fun fact somewhere Did you know that? What is this ultimate called again? Say hello to dot dot dot hello? Yeah, did you know that say hello to was often referred to as base drop because the extra life Bucking some or other, you know Dante's just a Scarface fan. What can we say? Yeah? Scarface was in the dubstep I guess something they seem to be pushing to which is They're really trying to push this concept of getting in on the ground level of the game to people right now and That kind of fits in with that like the people that call Dante's ultimate base drop or the people that were around Yeah, I was there with back when the extra life test happened. Oh, yeah when man goose base sniped Evan from across the map and just no more we just got it. I'm just remembering that that happened I'm not calling Evan out by any stretch of the imagination for being the first one to get spawn killed But I'm just saying that, you know, it happens to the best of us And I definitely did it on purpose.  Well, I don't think I'll be able to see them spot You're not gonna care. You're gonna try it anyway You're gonna watch the timer in the corner and be like, okay now But I don't think in the full game I don't think his his ultimate probably is going to do nearly as much damage as it was for actually I hope not to be me six v six and Yeah, just all the power was going to one person the other thing that they showed us was the bases with our character model in them and the spire is Absolutely massive in comparison to Malaya She's almost like a third the height of the spire and the spire was like a third of the height of the elder in the previous map reveal so the elder has been He's huge in comparison to what he was in the extra life test Tower over everybody. Mm-hmm, which is not terrifying in the slightest. I'm fine. It's fine. I Would have expected him to be about the size of a tower Which maybe he is I don't know it's hard to see we haven't seen anybody next to towers So now we need that kind of metric in order to see where it's going to go I don't want to force a gender upon the Upon the elder my bad Then at the very end we got to see a really good look at this cyber Ronan skin We got to actually see it on the 3d model just skin looks It's a lot more transformative than I thought it was at first like when they first revealed all the skins I was like that they just not do anything to But there's actually a lot done Absolutely, and it looks really crisp like you can the edges on it looked really nice The textures were really good. I would say and not that it's bad But in comparison to these bait Dante's base skin to cyber Ronan his base falls flat a little bit in comparison for me Because of those those little edge details that feel that they're not quite as there on the Dante skin The base skin as they are on cyber Ronan Like I enjoy the skin. I am not saying it's bad by any stretch I'm just if I had to compare the two that would be the one thing I'd said So you would rock the cyber Ronan over his base skin. You're saying a hundred percent I would rock his base skin over the cyber personally, but I Think I said this already as well But I think the thing that confused me and made me think that there wasn't much of a change It's the same color palette mm-hmm like his base skin and the cyber Ronan skin.  So that's I think where the confusion came in I know somebody in the comments of one of my videos said that they prefer they were preferred that It keep the same palette because it makes him look like a Sith Lord Hey, man, maybe it's Windu in disguise It wasn't Windu that said that but I can imagine Windu saying something like that Huge Star Wars geek right there. Oh, yeah Mean so anything else in the video that you wanted to talk about briefly man goose No, I think The thing that struck me as the most important thing that I gleaned from that video was those animations of the hit reaction and The basic attacks actually shattering on the target That's the thing that really grabbed my attention and impressed me the most and made me feel like people are going to enjoy playing this pre alpha More so than the pair of zombies because the pair of zombies just felt especially at the very first felt very hollow and I think Ethereal will actually have that visceral feel from the beginning. Yeah, I agree and it's free alpha Like there's yeah, go ahead. There's a lot of room to grow and change things from here on out Right, none of this is claiming to be a finished product yet right, so things like animations or Visual effects or anything like that still have room to change and be updated and made smoother better Whatever it may be From now till the actual full launch of the game because we're going into pre alpha This is a very they're further along than what I would consider a pre alpha But by the same token, they still have a lot of room to grow and do other things So if that's what they want to call it more power to them Yeah, well like you were saying people people like people were like You know cheering on saying that the visual effects were great and others were saying they were not so great It's because some of them were really good and some of them were not so good. No, you know, it's it's Both and they have a chance to we you know be be happy that we have the really good one Absolutely and look forward to them improving the bad ones saying Yeah, what are your final thoughts? Overall really impressed to be honest and I'm excited for what this means going forward Assuming we're going to get more of these in the future over the coming weeks My guess is that there they might become part of the community corners They mentioned the community corners two weeks ago That they're just the one that they were working on has been delayed So I assume this one was probably supposed to be part of that similar to the map reveal before So in theory and community corners in the future We're gonna see more and more of these reveals being done and I'd assume we had the weird malware thing before The reveal that malware kind of leaked his abilities kind of sort of on the website I imagine we'll see that a couple days in advance of every reveal as well That would be cool. I would like to see that I'm just whatever information I can get Yep, absolutely Now I think that about wraps it up jelly you got anything to plug videos as as normal more and more videos of course and Exciting thing I officially launched today that the time that we were recording is a theory in dot gg It's a website. I've been working on in the background for a bit and it's right now It's just going to be kind of blog posts keeping a play a kind of a one-stop shop for all the updates of ethereal Whether it's something that's been posted in the discord or on the website or a YouTube video It's all going to be located in one spot But the big thing that's coming and hopefully with the release of the game is a full builder For you to create builds and share them with other people when the game comes out So you can help learn the builds learn the game get the whole nine yards in there So that's in the works There's a teaser for that on the website right now and yeah, that's it for me. What about you man goose? That's what I was going to plug if you didn't plug it Your website it's a theory in gg right yep a theory in dot gg and Yeah, it's a I know big fat gamers been talking in my comments about making a builder for theory I keep trying to tell him like go go talk to jelly, but I didn't want to release You are working on this website.  I'll tell you now If you want to work with him on that that would be awesome Yeah, I think that's going to be about it. I hope you guys enjoyed the show I hope you guys enjoyed that miss spotlight for Dante and I hope we get more as we all enter the ether man goose


So sadly the video I was going to put out this week got messed up due to a technological glitch with the person I made it with, but hopefully it'll be ready in the next week. In the meantime, I want to tell you about Spotify's latest feature that you should get ready for, since it has a lot of potential to blow up and get you new fans. Spotify has a new feature where they're going to turn their canvas into a Tinder-like matchmaking feature for songs. Users will get 15 song matches a day, where you can listen to 8 second canvases and decide if they're a match and you like them. And as usual, the feature is being tried out in the UK, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand and Canada before it gets rolled out in America because that's what Spotify does. But if you think you have great music that's not getting heard by an audience, this is great news as you can potentially get new fans and you know if a lot of people are swiping right, they're going to show it to more people since that's inevitably what they want to happen with the service. But you'll need to have a canvas for your song if you want to get discovered and I know a lot of you neglect that. So if I were you, I'd get working on making and uploading canvases for your latest songs and I have tons of videos on the benefit of canvas and it could really help you get more listens to your track anyway before this comes out. It seems this is really going to pour fuel on the fire of how much canvases can help your music. If you don't know how helpful canvases can be, well, guess what? I have a whole guide on how to promote your music on Spotify that's up on the screen now. And in there, there's a whole video on Spotify canvas, so keep learning. Thanks for watching.


So when we discuss the Equal Partition Theorem, we use this term degree of freedom and it turns out to be very crucial to be able to identify degrees of freedom and count how many degrees of freedom of different types you have. So let's make sure that concept is clear. So this idea of a degree of freedom, all that means is just a variable that you can change the value of completely independently. So some examples, hopefully we'll make that clear. So let's say I'm just talking about a single atom. A monatomic molecule, just a single atom, single helium atom, for example. So here's an atom. The question is, when I'm describing that atom, let's say I'm describing the position of that atom. How many different variables can I choose independently to specify the position of the atom? I can change its x-coordinate. I can change its y-coordinate. I can change its z-coordinate simultaneously. Changing one of those doesn't prevent me from changing any of the others. So we'd say that molecule has three degrees of freedom. Three variables that I can change independently to describe its position. It would also have three velocity degrees of freedom that I could use to specify its velocity. If I compare that to a diatomic molecule, here's a diatomic molecule. There's a couple different ways we can think about how to count the degrees of freedom to specify the orientation, the position, the configuration of that molecule. We can do it just like we did for the atom. This atom in the diatomic molecule, I can specify its x and y and z positions independently of one another. So that would be three degrees of freedom for x and y and z of atom number one. I can also specify the x and the y and the z coordinates of atom number two. And describing one of those doesn't prevent me from changing the values of any of the others as well. So they're all independent of one other. We would say that that diatomic molecule has six total degrees of freedom. There's six variables that I need to specify in order to describe the complete configuration of the molecule. That's usually not the way we have been describing the geometry of a diatomic molecule. If we instead think of that molecule as located at some position in space, it has some center of mass. Maybe one of the atoms is heavier than the other. So the center of mass is a little off-center. So I can specify the coordinates of the center of mass. I can tell you the x and the y and the z coordinates of the center of mass. That's like specifying the position of the molecule rather than just a single atom in the molecule. And then in addition to that, I can tell you the bond length in the molecule. And I can tell you the orientation of the molecule, which we do with the angular coordinates theta and phi. So those are the coordinates we've been using to describe the rigid rotor and the harmonic oscillator. And the center of mass coordinates are what we use to describe it as a particle in a box. So in this diagram, there's a theta degree of freedom and a phi degree of freedom that describe the orientation. So we've got two different angular coordinates to describe the rotation. One that describes the bond length or the vibration of the molecule. And three that describe the position of the molecule, or its translational coordinates. So first I'll point out that that is also six variables. If we wanted to go to the work, we can rewrite each of these coordinates in terms of these x, y, and z's. Or vice versa, I can describe the x, y, z coordinates of each atom as a function of the center of mass and the orientation and the bond length of the molecule, whichever way I choose to describe it. There's only six variables, no more, no less, than six variables needed to describe the geometry of the molecule, regardless of whether I'm thinking about it in internal coordinates. Describe its bond length and orientation. Or Cartesian coordinates that describe the position of every atom. If we categorize these degrees of freedom, let's do that over here. This diatomic molecule has translational degrees of freedom. It has rotational degrees of freedom. It has vibrational degrees of freedom. So let's count how many of each of those there are. The three center of mass coordinates, the x, y, z position of the center of mass, those are the translational degrees of freedom that describe the translation or the position of the molecule inside the box. The rotational degrees of freedom are the ones that describe its orientation. Those will be theta and phi, so there's two of those. And the degree of freedom that describes the vibrational motion of the molecule, that's describing the stretch of the bond. The bond length is only a single coordinate. So not surprisingly, that adds up to six. There's six total degrees of freedom in this molecule, three of which are translational, two of which are rotational, one of which is vibrational. And this illustrates why it's useful to think about the molecule's coordinates in internal coordinates rather than Cartesian coordinates, because these variables make it very clear how many of the degrees of freedom are rotational or vibrational or translational. If we back up a step and do this same sort of analysis for a single atom, I'm on atomic molecule. And if I ask how many translational, rotational, or vibrational degrees of freedom there are, and how many in total, looking back at this molecule, this single atom, the only three degrees of freedom are these X, Y, Z degrees of freedom, the Cartesian degrees of freedom. So what those are describing is not the orientation of the molecule, it's rotational degrees of freedom. It can't vibrate because there's no bonds to vibrate. There's just three translational degrees of freedom and no rotations and no vibrations. So all three of the degrees of freedom are translational for a single atom. What about for a more complicated molecule? So we'll do the general case. Maybe we're talking about a tetrahedral molecule or maybe there's more bonds than that. So some arbitrary molecule with a total of n different atoms in it. Again, we can think of the number of degrees of freedom in two ways. If we wanted to think of the internal coordinates, we could think of how many individual bonds there are to specify, how many individual bond angles we're free to specify, how many other types of internal degrees of freedom there are. And once I've specified some of those angles, does it restrict other angles? That's a little bit complicated. It involves more trigonometry than we wanna volunteer for. So it's a little bit easier just to say, since we're gonna get the same answer in either case, it's easier to think about it in Cartesian coordinates and say, certainly atom number one has an x and a y and a z. Atom number two has an x and a y and a z that we could specify all the way down to atom number n, which has its own x and y and z. So altogether, there must be a total of three times n degrees of freedom in this polyatomic molecule, an x and a y and a z for each of the n atoms in the molecule. So it's pretty easy to count the total numbers of degrees of freedom. If it's a triatomic molecule, it'll have nine degrees of freedom. If it's a 12 atom molecule, it's gonna have 36 degrees of freedom. If we want to categorize those into how many rotations, vibrations, translations, that's not too much more difficult now that we know how many total degrees of freedom there are. So we've just seen that there must be a total of three n, total degrees of freedom. We can ask how many of those degrees of freedom would be translational for the molecule as a whole. How many ways are there for me to specify its location in a box? Just like the monatomic and diatomic molecules, the center of mass of the molecule only has three coordinates that it needs to describe where that molecule is located. So no matter how complicated the molecule gets, describing the location of the molecule requires no more, no less than three degrees of freedom. For rotations, things get a little bit more complicated. You might think it's similar to the diatomic molecule. So the diatomic molecule, we needed two degrees of freedom, theta and phi to describe the rotation of the molecule. But for a more complicated nonlinear molecule, we can actually specify three different angles. So with my cartoon of the molecule over here, we can imagine we can rotate that angle, that molecule around the x-axis, we can rotate it around the y-axis, and we can additionally rotate it around the z-axis. So there's three different axes I can rotate this molecule around because it occupies a three-dimensional space. So in general, molecules have three different rotational coordinates, three ways they can rotate. The reason that was not true for this diatomic molecule, which after all still does occupy a three-dimensional space, is because the third coordinate, I can describe the orientation of this molecule by bending it down from the z-axis, describing how much rotation it has about the z-axis. The third coordinate would be, if I were to describe the rotation around that bond of the molecule, spinning it along its own bond. For a diatomic molecule, because it's cylindrically symmetrical, spinning it around that axis doesn't actually change the molecule. So I haven't changed it by performing that rotation. So this third rotation doesn't actually perturb the molecule. So there's only two rotations that modify any linear molecule. So here we have to have a special case. If we have a linear molecule, there's only two different rotations. If we have a non-linear molecule, it can rotate in three different ways. And the good news now is we can predict how many vibrational degrees of freedom that molecule is gonna have because we know it has to add up to three n. For a linear molecule, if there's three translations and two rotations, there have to be three n minus five that we would categorize as vibrational motions. For a non-linear molecule, that would be three n minus six. And notice that this holds true for the diatomic molecule. It's linear, so three n minus five gives me just one coordinate that is a vibrational coordinate because there's only one bond that can vibrate. For my more complicated molecule, it might be difficult to count the number of bonds or count the number of degrees of freedom that can be represented as vibrations, but through process of elimination, if we know how many atoms there are in the molecule multiplied by three to get the numbers of degrees of freedom, and that subtract either five or six, depending if we're a linear or non-linear molecule, and that tells us how many independent vibrations that molecule has. So now that we know how to count the number of translational, rotational, vibrational degrees of freedom in a molecule, we can use that together with the Echor-Partition Theorem to predict the heat capacities of a variety of molecules.


The proper way to think about politics is that there's a spectrum. Collectivism over here, evil, bad, really, really nasty, and individualism over here. And there's a fork in collectivism. There are at least two different branches. One that goes left towards communism and socialism.  Which one is worse?

Hi, my name is Leon Roeb currency trader and trading coach at trading 180 comm and in this video I'm going to talk about combining fundamental and technical demand and supply and Many retail traders really don't apply fundamental analysis To their trading for various reasons. There's a bit of a stigma about fundamental analysis Which I think is is put out there plus people tend to I guess move towards the path of least resistance, right? Which basically just means that technicals Is a lot easier, right? It's the path of least resistance. It's the easier way Whereas, you know at the beginning of learning fundamental analysis, it can be Quite difficult. There's a learning curve there But once you actually understand what's going on and how the pieces tend to move then it does become a lot easier Just like riding a bike right already any skill anyways Combine a fundamental a technical demand and supply Really, I think is imperative for your, you know trading success in this because if you you know if the two aren't aligned there's no Technical level that's really going to work right technical demand or technical supplies It's not going to work without the combination of fundamental demand in alignment, right or supply so We're a natural gas and Fundamentally In November November the 16th This was a Bloomberg article markets were saying that well warm start to winter leaves more gas for next year Goldman Sets Europe will end winter with better than expected gas storage weak Chinese LNG demand also means more supply for Europe's and more supply now Commodities are driven by supply and demand the supply and demand dynamic, right? The more demand you have price to go higher the more supply you have a price to go lower and so With warmer weather Comes less demand right and probably more supply, which is basically what you know this subheading was saying and And so, you know the the issue was that the exceptionally mild weather Experienced in Northwest Europe since October has led to a sharp drop in gas prices sooner than Goldman expected the analysts set and so with you know warm weather affecting the supply and demand dynamic right prices right the demand for prices was wasn't really there it was a lot more supply and And so, you know, that was really a kind of early, you know signal if you were trading natural gas fundamentally to you know to kind of watch right and so We also had You know in in January my January the third that actually was confirmed because obviously the weather Nobody can really predict the weather, but it did turn out that we did have overall warmer weather In the end right and so natural gas prices are plunging on a warmer start to the winter Right, so mild weather seen from Europe to China over the next few weeks gas rationing unlikely as top importers have built stock piles So again, it already built their stock piles said it was probably a lot of supply in the market Yeah, more supply than demand because they built their stockpiles right and so when you actually then start to go forward and you know realize that There was probably more supply fundamental supply than demand as I said before There's no technical analysis level. That's really gonna stand in the way of fundamental Supply and demand right and so you've got varying levels of demand Right varying levels of what traders would you know draw in demand, right? So you've got demand in and around that zone here You've got demand going way back to June 21 Demand zone there demand zone there demand zone there, right now doesn't necessarily matter exactly how you draw it Right, but there is demand in and around these areas here However, you draw, you know technical demand or technical supply, but in this case it would be technical demand and so with fundamental Demand not aligning with technical demand Trying to pick lows right trying to pick the turning points because that's pretty much what traders attempt to do Yeah, is practically In not I wouldn't say impossible right you might do it by luck But it's really not gonna work out in your favor in terms of the probabilities, right and you can see You know what happens now there does come a point and it always will come a point where Liquidity needs to be sought right in terms of there's a build-up of liquidity above the market And if there's not enough sellers to push price, you know down in terms of sell orders and liquidity Then the market must look for sell orders above the market meaning You know that you know you get I was why you get like, you know short squeezes right they do tend to happen and There was a period where you did get some moves to the upside, right? And it did bounce off of actually the lower end of that demand zone, which was all the way back In October 2020, but who would have known that right in real time you would have been you know Taking loss after loss after loss after loss had you had been trying to time these Demand zones not aligning that the fundamentals are not aligned with that, you know with the technicals, right? And so you do get finally a bit of a move higher Why tend to refer as you know proof of value. Yeah, but then and I just want to just delete, you know, these These are demand zones off the chart Right So you do get an area where there is now proof of value right proof of value meaning that price has proved that there is You know potential demand here now when prices Do come back to this area here the question then becomes is why is natural gas even though it was a bargain right here There was definitely buyers getting involved in that area, right or less sellers getting involved in that area Why is this if prices do pull back to this area wise this price likely to be a Bargain right so has the fundamentals changed to the point where value that this becomes value So price and value with two different things Price isn't always reflective of value and value doesn't always reflect price or current price That's why things are undervalued or expensive right or cheaper a bargain price or expensive Now a question for traders would be is that a bargain price? Yeah now again, if you don't understand fundamental analysis and why You know natural gas may not have been a bargain at that price then You're likely being caught Being caught out again at that level right so timing this was very difficult Right, you would have to go through maybe about maybe seven eight demands Before you actually ended up maybe making some money on that if you managed to pick that low And then when prices come back again, the question becomes is that you know bargain and obviously the market doesn't think so Right, there's no demand there.


witnessing a holy moment here because my wife Jane has joined me on the platform tonight to answer your red-hot questions and so this is this is awesome because she has so much wisdom and so much experience that we have together obviously and being married for almost 28 years so we're gonna do the best that we can to kind of share out of our experience from that in response to your questions as well as parenting and so Jane all of our kids we have three kids and they are all grown and out of the house well Tiffany is kind of a boomerang she goes to college and then comes back and goes to college and comes back but they're all grown and I just want to give all the credit that Jane is the reason why our kids are well-balanced and healthy and alive today because of her so awesome mom so tonight for red-hot we're gonna be answering questions from both Portage so Portage you guys don't don't sit back ask your questions those are online and here at Richland campus as well we're gonna be taking your questions on the subject of family and on parenting so anything that kind of wraps up around marriage family parenting is is game tonight and so if you haven't asked a question you can go to radiant.church slash red-hot and we're gonna take questions tonight and at both of our services tomorrow and looking forward to it so and I told me that if the questions are all like last week I was only gonna do tonight so so be nice she got me back up here tomorrow yeah that's nice yeah she agreed to do this before last week and then when she heard all the questions she's like I'm not doing it I said I already announced it so you have to do it so so tonight is for sure we'll see what tomorrow holds but we're gonna go ahead and jump right in and take some of the questions so here we go this is from John Z have no idea who that is is it true that in high school you and Jane once had a science class together and on the first day you said to her sat by her and whispered it looks like we have chemistry together no next question okay thanks for playing John this is Kay from online if you are married and you are further along spiritually than your husband how do you let him be the quote head of the house or spiritual leader that's a great question I think what is important is to understand it's not so much about letting him be the spiritual head of the house it's it's something that whether he wants that or not it's part of how God has designed marriage and a responsibility that is on the husband as the father as the husband that he is the head and when you if you were to study headship in the New Testament because a lot of times in our culture when we use words like head we think it's like domination but that's not at all what it means word head actually means responsibility carries the responsibility which means he's not just the one who gets to make the calls he's the one that's going to be accountable and so you're not letting him be the head because there's only one head he is the head which means he's the one who is responsible for that but there is some things that I think in marriage are really important that wives and husbands really understand about each other and in Peter it talks about so much that it talks about different roles in first Peter chapter 3 it says likewise wives be subject to your own husband so that even if some do not obey the word in other words they're not a disciple of Jesus they may be one without a word by the conduct of their wives when they see your respect in pure conduct so I think what's important understand is your attitude as a wife so he may be a Christian and just not as far along spiritually mature as you are or maybe not as overtly demonstrative in his faith or in his personality he's still the the one responsible over the household your responsibility is how you respond to him and I would say that the number one thing that you can do to bring peace in the household and how you quote allow him to be the spiritual leader is speak words of encouragement words of honor to him instead of telling him all the things that he's not instead of telling him all the things that you wish he would do differently or I wish you would you know stay the Bible with me I wish you would read the Bible I wish you'd go to church more often with me very few times in the history of humanity is a man going to respond yeah I'm a terrible person and you're right let me do exactly what you want me to do but a man is designed to respond to words of encouragement and I feel like so many times that women who feel like maybe they're more spiritually ahead of their husbands don't ever give their husbands time to lead or time to show even where they are spiritually because like what Lee was saying some of them are more quiet or insecure in and or afraid that like they're gonna be you know their wives maybe will come down hard on them and so just well they feel embarrassed right exactly there's a lot of guys who are like well I don't know the Bible as well as you you know you go to Bible studies or you do this I haven't done that there's a little bit of an intimidation factor but if you encourage them it's like if he comes to church with you it's like a speaker word or write them a little note thank you for going to church with me or you know what the sexiest thing that you do is hold my hand in worship that I mean you tell a guy that he'll be at church every Sunday holding your hand you know what when I when I see you reading the Bible or when you when you pray with us go ahead and I think sometimes our expectations can be so highly we have to pray every night we have to read through the Bible we have to and I mean I'll obviously all that is awesome but there also is that thing of he has his personal relationship with the Lord I have my personal relationship with the Lord we don't pray together every night you know I mean we try we probably do a couple nights a week a lot of the times in the morning for our kids but nothing you know super deep and so I think sometimes I know but I do I've met with women who are like you know I just wish my husband would want to pray with me and then it's just like yeah it that's sometimes just isn't reality I don't know that's true you're right praise God you're right and but and you can also speak to the things that he is they don't have to be spiritual it's like I love how you provide for our family when you show honor to your husband he's gonna grow he's gonna flourish but if you make him feel guilty he's gonna shrink and he's going to avoid let me just tell you something about guys in general we avoid environments that we're not confident in ourselves in and so I'm not confident at fixing things so if you had a barn raising don't call me because I'm not showing up I'm not gonna come over there if you have a theology discussion I'll probably show up that's things that I'm confident in so speak words of confidence because there's there's power in the words of a wife I really believe that and if you'll do that it's amazing how you can actually strengthen and build your husband up okay let's take another question this is from Susanna in Richland which comes first if you are a spouse and a parent parenting or your marriage ha I love this question it's a great question here's what you need to understand a family the root of a family is one man and one woman in covenant that create a family that is a family out of that family children are born but children do not stay the goal of parenting is to train children up to reproduce and I'm not just talking about having physical children I'm talking about reproducing the faith in a relationship with God that you have that is the nucleus of a family and so our job in raising our kids we loved our kids but you know what they're only little for so long and then they're teenagers and then they're adults and if you put all of your focus on the kids and you don't make your marriage first your marriage is going to be until death do you part but your children it's going to be until you graduate do you depart your children the goal is not for them to be 40 years old and still living in a basement same but I love mom I don't want to leave mom I'm mom's favorite and so I want to live here for the rest of my life it's that's inordinate and so you want to know what comes first the marriage has to come first so we would actually tell our kids it's like I love you but you know what I'm I love your mom first and I love her more in that way that we're committed to one another you're not going to drive a wedge between us I'm committed to your mom we're gonna have date day we're gonna have date time together and there's gonna be times where we have discussions that you're not invited into it's because we have a relationship because your family obviously is only strong as your marriages but I remember Lee always when he would touch the kids down and we'd pray for them would be like I love God first I love your mom and then I love you kids yeah and I just think that's so healthy because that's really the truth yeah yeah and then when I would ask my kids who who do I love before you and they would say you love mom I would say that's right and that's gross and it's like you'll get it when you get older and so absolutely and here's the problem when we have parent-centered homes we rave self-centered kids and we don't want to raise self-centered kids because self-centered kids do not grow up to be good husbands and good wives because marriage is not about self-centeredness it's about self-sacrifice so the greatest gift that you can give to your kids is demonstrating self sacrifice in your marriage relationship making that first God first God's the center and everything flows out of that and your marriage has got to be the priority so you've got to prioritize date dating you've got a you know guys put deodorant on and take your wives out for dinner ladies get rid of the sweats and put some outfit on and some war paint and go and have a great date day all right there you go I'll get all kinds of emails for that one but it's okay here we go Hannah from Richland the Bible says to be fruitful and multiply I am married woman and I love children but I don't feel the call on my life to have children am I disobeying what God has called us to do well I think there may that's a that's a complex question and if I were having a one-on-one conversation with you I would want to know more about that because I could give you a simple answer and it probably is not going to really answer the issue that's going on I would ask the question why don't you want to have children and there may be legitimate reasons why you don't want to have children there are people that would like to have children can't have children does that mean that they're being disobedient to God or that occurs is on their life well absolutely not there are people that don't want to have children and sometimes those are for good reasons and sometimes they're for not so great reasons one of the so if I'm just talking in generalities one of the purposes of marriage if you read Genesis and you read Malachi is so that God would have a righteous seed in the earth children and fruitfulness is supposed to be part of marriage now if there are some people don't want to have kids because they have genetic things and they don't want to pass that on other people have experienced pain in their childhood and they're afraid of the kind of parent they'll be or they're afraid of they're having the same type of experiences with their kids most of the time when somebody says I don't want to have children I want to be married but I don't want to have children now I'm saying this in generalities it's because there is pain in their past a lot of times it's because there is pain in their past or they've got some professional thing that is going on it may be a season that they're in right now and they say well I don't want to have children now maybe a little bit later sometimes it has to do with present pain that they might be married to somebody that they're not confident that if we have children I'm not sure that they're gonna be around there are all kinds of issues around that here's what I would say I would say that before you say that you don't want to have children ask God the question do you want me to have children see part of the greatness of our relationship with God is we can say okay God what's your plans for me and I'm not saying that in a super spiritual way but it's so easy for us to tell God what we want sometimes we just need to stop and say God what do you want for my life and I don't think that there's easy answers to this particular type of question so before I just put a dot on it I would say that I think that maybe that is something you ask God maybe that's something you sit down with some people that you trust and process the why of it maybe you have a really good reason for why that you don't want that and you know what that's up to you and that's up to God nobody can make judgments about that but I think at the end of the day though we need to be careful that we're not just living in the moment and living for ourselves because I've seen so many people that then get down the road and say you know what I wish I had had kids I wish I had done that Jane and I we had three and at 28 she's like you're going to get fixed because we're too good at this and and so I went I I went to see the doc guys doctor through is all right and so I went and saw doctor through because we were through and and then years later though it was like I wish we had had one more I wish we had had one more so you know be be careful what you think you want and always take it before the Lord get wisdom from others and really pray through that anything you want to say on that nope you're smart okay here we go this is Kay from Richland Jane what advice do you have for those of us in the trenches of motherhood with the littles how did you grow your relationship with the Lord when your children little and everything was so busy and chaotic that's a great question that is a great question Lynn I took a walk this morning we're talking about that so literally your children grow up so fast and I know people tell you that and I remember people telling me that I rolled my eyes and be like I don't believe you you know I mean but now I'm like oh my gosh actually it's 26 and Jared's 20 almost 25 and Tiffany's almost 22 next week and I'm like how and I have a grandbaby I'm like how did this happen it does it goes so fast so just to say that that it does go so fast so enjoy every moment because I know it's hard I mean I was a stay-at-home mom Lee was busy we were starting the church there are days I would be like we had the little beep phones and I beep them and he'd be at a lunch but I wouldn't know it and I didn't really know how to work the phone and he'd be like I'm at a lunch and I'd beep I'm like when are you coming home oh my gosh the kids are driving me crazy and he'd be like okay I like I call you back but I'm so just I would get this beep I'm in the middle of a meeting and it would go beep beep what are you doing I'm like I'm gonna meet it beep beep I'm in a meeting and then the background I hear she's like beep beep get home and then just to throw Jared under the bus because he's not here but he literally was so hard it was so and I remember at two to him Lee coming home from work and I'm like I don't think we can do ministry I think we're disqualified he's so naughty like I just don't think that we're called to do this we can't he's like oh my gosh Shane we can we're we're supposed to do this like he's too we can we can get through this so so just remember that and then I literally made myself get up in the morning and just have like a half an hour with the Lord like I'd have the coffee set and I would get up at I think it was like 530 and I was tired but I literally most days and I'm like shoot why aren't I doing that but I would get up and just have that time with the Lord and I would journal and and so there is ways to do it like when the kids nap get up early step a little bit later which I didn't want to do and it and I think in our minds that we think that has to be something that's so great and so profound and it is hours long and God is just open the heavens and spoke to us and it doesn't you know what I mean it's just that consistency of being in the word of worship I mean I'd always have like Jason opting going on in the background or whatever and just that consistency and then you just grow in it and I mean I really feel like most days I got up and I did that and it was nice for me because it was time by myself right and yeah I didn't do that so I would wake up and she was already on the couch had already prayed is reading her Bible and had coffee and I would get up and she had that moment so that when the kids got up she was ready to go and I always admired that because you know I didn't want to get up that early I was like I'll get up at 630 or whatever and she had already been up but she like you said it wasn't always like two three hours but she had always been up for maybe a half an hour even if I just got the proverb of the day and I was happy and so I just want to say to your mom's just like don't put so much pressure on yourself and then through the day I literally always had worship music going on in the house and our house all the time we had a computer in the kitchen and it had iTunes on there when that first came out and I don't I don't think we turn that computer off for like eight years and it just had worship on loop is never I'd actually would just all a planet shakers Hillsong back in the day I mean we had those songs on loop and our kids knew all the words whether they liked it or not because it was all that was playing so yeah so don't put pressure on yourself and honestly just know that it goes so fast and every mom that has grown kids can agree with me on that one I'm sure yeah so just enjoy him enjoy him enjoy the mess enjoy the busyness enjoy it so it makes some good friends I have great friends I am bats I mean we used to call me the magic school bus because we would get together all the time so just find a couple of friends and get together it makes it so much more easy and fun and so yeah that's right great answer okay next question Kim from Portage hey Portage with such easy access to media cell phones internet and the way our culture has become over centralized how do I protect my children from being exposed to pornography that's a great question and it is one of the great battles of our day with raising kids so our kids when they were coming up cell phones were just kind of on the rise texting was kind of the thing and you didn't have smartphones until they were a little bit older as teenagers that kind of came on the scene and I don't remember how old our kids were it was like 13 I think before we got them a cell phone they were flip phones I mean they were like little flip phones remember the Motorola razors which by the way I still like those phones they're still sweet you know little flip things and so they could text but we didn't we didn't necessarily have the internet access on those phones a great book I would encourage parents to get is is number one is called faith for exiles and it's by David Kineman it's talking about raising kids in a digital Babylon and and I think there's another one pixelated parenting and it's got advice for how to raise your kids in this type of environment because it is a challenge just recently saw some statistics that said that an 11 year old boy in this generation will see a hundred and fifty thousand views of pornography before he's 11 years old that's on average the largest market of viewership for pornography online is adolescent boys it's just insane when I was growing up the the pornography that we were exposed to was if you had a crazy uncle and he had a magazine or maybe your dad or somebody had it in the house and you know somebody snuck it out of their house and you left it in the woods or something like that or maybe you watched a movie on cable or something like that today it's in our hands and so I think parents you have to be you have to be proactive and you have to be in agreement if you're if your husband wife you're married if you're a single parent it's just you you have to be proactive and preemptive and how you are going to approach internet access go ahead and you can't be scared of your kids no don't be scared you know I mean like they're gonna be like I'm the only one that doesn't get the phone at night and blah blah blah it's just like well you know in our house this is what we do and I would and I know I mentioned saying no because we didn't we weren't there but I would think that we would have had a basket or something yeah yeah they have a basket in the kitchen and so when you come home your phone goes in the basket everybody's and so and that's where it stays if you need to charge it there's chargers right there and if you need to check it throughout the evening before you go to bed you can go and you know you can check it and you can respond to text you know right there but they don't allow their kids to have them on 24-7 they don't allow them to take them to the room one thing that we did was we never allowed our kids to have computers in the room they didn't have laptops and we had one computer for the family that was in our kitchen open access that way if our kids were doing homework well they had to do it right there where we could see it it had internet access we could see the history I would say today if your kids have iPads and computers that you need to have their passwords you need to have accessibility to it I would put software on there like Covenant Eyes or triple X or something on there in which you are one of the accountability partners so if they're gonna try and go around it they're gonna have to work really really hard at it and know that you're gonna check up that and here's what your kids are gonna say you're invading my privacy and here's my answer this house is my privacy so if you want your own privacy it's called move out get your own rent pay your own bills eat your own few your own food and you can do that when you're 18 years old but until that time you live in my house this is not a democracy this is a malevolent dictatorship I am a beneficent dictator and yes I am lording it over you I am violating all of your civil rights but I'm paying all the bills and so I would probably not give my kids smartphones until they're old enough and proven enough here's the thing you wouldn't give your 14-year-old kid a set of keys to us to a race car and the reason why you wouldn't is number one they haven't proven that they know how to handle a car they've not been trained in it and that amount of horsepower they could kill themselves why are we putting race cars in their hands when they're 13 years old when they're not trained they haven't proven themselves and they have access to things that they can't handle and so I would be very cautious in doing that and parents you got to get thick skin because your kid wait if you're looking for your kids to like you then you're gonna live your life stressed out and full of anxiety and your kids are gonna run right over you you just have to have a long game vision it's like my kids are gonna like me someday someday someday we can be friends and someday you'll understand all of my decisions when your frontal lobe is fully developed and you and boys you don't have you have enough testosterone flowing through your teenage body to knock out a horse and so you're not making rational decisions your frontal lobe is not fully developed so I'm gonna make them for you I'll make those decisions for you and I think as parents we got to get over that and I think that as parents and even Christian parents or whatever that we need to be more like on the know of what is going on because there's so many apps that they like disguise you know like I saw something that like a calculator that they can download really isn't a calculator it's some I mean it's just crazy and I think that sometimes we're like oh but I mean to really dig in and figure out what is on their phone what they're looking at and all that and just not be like trust them or yeah I think it is what what it was even five years ago I feel like it's changed so much and just be proactive in that and really investigate I feel like it's our job his parents to do that even as tearing as it may be and it might be easier to be like I don't want to but it can open up so many doors that children are our greatest investment and so we need to be educated in the things that we're investing into and so we need to be we need to be students of culture the apps that she's talking about we read some articles on that where there's actually apps that have been developed that look like calculator the calculator app on your smartphone that you can download so that if they if your parents scroll through your phone they see a calculator they'll leave it alone but if you click it it's actually a like a WhatsApp chat thing or it's a online chat room where it it's basically a sexting environment and so parents the only way that you're gonna know that stuff is if you're studying what's going on you're utilizing focus on the family family research committee your reading books if children and families are really our number one investment then think about how much you study before you invest your money into retirement and 401ks or in mutual funds you need to study that much to be a parent and to be a husband or a wife okay thanks for the collapse that was awesome okay this is Sarah online is it okay to read trashy novels or watch movies to enhance your marital sex life answer that one I'm not answering well Jane and I have read all the 50 shades of gray together no we have not the fact that you describe them as trashy and that you're talking about enhancing your marital sex life with things that you describe as trashy let me just say that that that speaks to a underlying deficit that's already there and no you don't need to compromise your moral values in order to enhance your sexual life within your marriage the key is maybe resolve some issues that are underlying in your marriage because when there's intimacy you don't have to if the only way we can have a healthy sex life and a satisfying sex life is if we receive an infusion of the world's twisted and perverted view of sexuality then what we're saying to God is what you created isn't enough and the reality is our own brokenness is actually the deficit and Jesus offers healing for that and I whoever is Sarah online thank you for asking that and thank you for your vulnerability but I would just say look that's a deep rabbit hole you continue to go down the world's way and you and then it's gonna take something else and that's gonna take something else and that's gonna take something else and you will never find satisfaction satisfaction is found in true intimacy where you can be vulnerable you are committed to one another and you kind of learn from one another and I thought maybe you were gonna jump in here and not yeah okay keep waiting on you go ahead jump jump jump and so I would say no you don't need that in fact I think it's actually detrimental because let me let me say this for a man men are visually stimulated okay so that's where pornography comes in for the most part men are attracted to pornography because they see something and it turns them on for it for most women this is a generality but the way that women are wired it's more emotional and so reading a harlequin romance or 50 shades of gray or whatever does something to a woman's emotions that is similar to what visual pornography does to a man and so sometimes a trashy novel is just as detrimental for a woman as pornography is to a man and so it's emotional pornography so a lot of times where it's like well he's dirty he's watching porn as we're reading these trashy novels off the bookshelves about you know I can't believe it's not butter or whoever that guy is you know Fabio with the long-flowing hair sweeps over the feet it's like it's creating a fantasy that's not reality and then your husband comes home and instead of a six pack he's got a six gallon and he doesn't have long flowing you know blonde hair because he's been at the gym he comes home in a nasty car hard jacket and you're just like you're not what I read about it's like no he needs to become your fantasy not Flopio okay so there we go anyways next question not ready to jump in okay so Shawn is it okay to get divorced if your spouse identifies as LGBT after marriage wow that's a big question so what I would need to know is this so when they say when they're identifying as LGBT so if you're unfamiliar with what that means lesbian gay bisexual transgender and that's a wide range okay of descriptions and four letters but if you're saying to me that after marriage the person you're married to in their transparency and vulnerability with you honestly say that they struggle in temptation in those arenas then that's that's an issue that you you guys can work on and you can get some help and there can be healing and you can still have a very healthy and successful marriage because there's transparency and there's honesty and and obviously there's an attraction that took place but if you're saying that after marriage they're saying I made a mistake in marrying you because I'm something else and I want to pursue that if that person if that individual is unwilling to repent and I'm assuming that there's two believers here if there's not then that's that's a different situation if you're a believer and your spouse is an unbeliever and they identify as LGBT and say I don't want to be married to you and they abandon that marriage yes you can get remarried you can get divorced and it may not be your desire but if they abandon the marriage Paul says in 1st Corinthians you're free but if we're talking about two believers then we ought to have more faith and the ability of God to transform and change us and heal that which he has put together he said let no man divide Matthew chapter 19 Genesis chapter 2 what God has brought together let no man bring or divide asunder he's able to transform and he's able to heal if there's transparency and there's honesty now if what you're saying is that after we got married my partner began to act out on their LGBT desires and then they've informed me without repentance of the partner who's participating in that you absolutely have grounds for divorce because that's sexual immorality and that would be true if it wasn't lesbian gay or bisexual transgenderism that would be equally true if you had a partner that was having sex outside of their marriage and their relationship with you with a heterosexual individual it still falls into the category of sexual immorality and when that is unrepentant when not repented of and you've done all that you can to bring restoration you absolutely have biblical grounds to divorce them and then be free in the Lord to move on and I'm not sure of what's going on for Sean but Sean I just want you to know we praying for you we pray for healing if this is a real-life situation we pray that God will bring healing bring clarity will bring truth to that situation so that that marriage can make it anything you want to add to that okay next question Rick online why was polygamy and multiple concubines allowed in the Old Testament and yet God says marriage is between one man and one woman why and when did this design seem to change that's an awesome question it's interesting to me by the way I don't know if anybody saw this but the state of Utah just decriminalized polygamy last week so it is no longer a criminal offense in the state of Utah which has a huge Mormon majority and the Mormon church if you say the history of the Church of Latter-day Saints that was founded by Joseph Smith and then followed up by bring them young they taught polygamy and actually many of them even to this day continue to practice that different sex in in Utah and so they've just decriminalized it so here's the answer the Bible records some things that are descriptive and some things that are prescriptive in other words when the Bible tells you to love your neighbor that is prescriptive God's telling you what to do some things that you read in the Bible that people did are just being described God's not putting a seal of approval on it and so nowhere in the Bible will you see that God commands or condones polygamy or multiple concubines in fact almost every time that you see in the Bible whether it's Abraham whether it's David whether it's Solomon these guys who did it because it was very pot it was very common in those cultures at that particular time they were actually adapting to culture they were not staying within the confines of covenant with God and almost every single time that they did it there was controversy there were problems and there was sin that emerged out of it you will never see blessing that comes out of those things and so when you see that it's it's descriptive what is God prescribed Genesis chapter 2 before the fall it says that a man and a man shall leave his father his mother and be joined to his wife and the two shall become one flesh and let no man divide what God has brought together that Matthew chapter 9 19 Jesus said from the very beginning he created them male and female and brought them together one man one woman in the bonds of marriage in the sight of God that was God's prescription for marriage then what we see is a lot of people who make a lot of mistakes and jack things up along the way and all the all the stuff that we see right now going on in the Middle East it's because of adultery and polygamy the battles between Arab Muslims and Jewish people and even Christians in the Middle East is all the result of Ishmael and Ishmael and his descendants that go all the way back to Abraham who when his wife said oh I can't have children because she didn't have the patience to wait for God to fulfill his word brought her servant in to Abraham and Abraham didn't have enough ethics or integrity to say no I'm not going to do that so he did it and then an Ishmael was born out of that and the descendants of Ishmael are the Arabs and there's been contention ever since in the Middle East so if you want that to be your legacy go ahead move to Utah and and have a polygamous marriage if you want to that's what you have to look forward to but if we do it God's way we receive God's blessing and unfortunately concubines that means they're unmarried sex slaves basically or sex partners I want you to think about this Solomon had hundreds of them he had hundreds of wives which I don't know for the life of me how he made it through the Bible says he was one of the wisest men who ever lived that was dumb can you imagine his marriage counseling bill I mean and then he had concubines by the hundreds as well if you look at the life the lineage of how sin compounds from generation to generation in the same way that blessing compounds think about this Psalm 51 David describes himself as I was conceived in sin many scholars believe that David was the kid out in the back 40 because he was actually a child from an adulterous relationship that his father Jesse had so Jesse has an adulterous relationship has gives birth to David David had Mary's multiple women and commits adultery with a Bathsheba he gives birth to Solomon he also gives birth to Absalom and he also gives birth to Tamar and so there's incest that comes as a result of that and then Solomon has multiple wives and hundreds of concubines and what does he do he builds temples next to God's temple for the worship of false gods and he ends up writing Ecclesiastes and at the end of his life he says vanity vanity everything is vanity in other words it's all emptiness and then Solomon's son becomes the king and Israel and Judah are divided so it goes from Jesse one to multiple generations and even nations that are divided three generations later that's what concubines and polygamy creates now if we do it God's way then we can expect his blessing not not just a one generation he says but to those who honor his word in Deuteronomy 27 he says to those who honors word his blessing goes down to a thousand generations how many want a thousand generation blessing on your family then stay married do it God's way there you go okay we did it Jane anything you want to say before we pray say bye to everybody let's all stand up together would you stand with me Lord we love you and we're so grateful for your faithfulness to us we're so grateful that you've given us the privilege of building families and entering into the covenant of marriage which is the only

called us into your family and that you've given us your word as a grid and a foundation and a blueprint to build our lives on I want to invite our prayer partners to and our prayer ministry teams at both campuses to move into place down at the front if they would while our heads are bought and our eyes are closed all over the room I before we close and dismiss I know that whenever we ask questions or we answer questions like what we've had answered tonight sometimes it's it's very close to what we're going through or sometimes just a question has a way of awakening pain fear or a situation that we need God to break through and you know sometimes we think about red hot is these questions are going to be hot but really the whole goal of red hot is that our faith in Jesus and our pursuit of God would actually be hot it would be we would be on fire in our trust of God and tonight if you feel like maybe your faith has grown lukewarm at best and you want that flame to be fanned again and become red hot and tonight we're just going to invite you in a moment to come and receive prayer and just say to come to one of the prayer partners and just say I want I want my faith to come alive again you might be here and just in the middle of a battle in the middle of a situation in your family your marriage or a dating relationship or whatever it is and you're just like I need God to break through I need a miracle we're going to invite you to come in just a moment and receive prayer you might be somebody you're sitting back and coming to coming to a realization that there's things on the inside of you that you need to repent you need to change you need to invite Jesus to become Lord of that area of your life I want to challenge you tonight don't pack it up and take it with you surrender it to Jesus let let that let that faucet get opened in your life of God's blessing once again let the flow of his divine favor have flow in your life again Lord tonight as we
