on this brisk and beautiful day. And we're so glad you joined us here on Hope Today. I'm Tom Hollis. I'm here with Amanda Brocker and Sydney Goldman. Listen, guys, I scraped off my windows this morning. That's always not my favorite thing that says that the winter is coming, but we're glad that you've joined us because, hey, seasons change and things change in our life, Sydney. They surely do. So if you are Florida friends or Alabama friends, you're probably like, oh, we don't have to deal with frost and praise God for that. But if you have a garage, it's actually kind of nice, too. But anyway, just like Tom says, there is so much change. We're going through the change of the seasons. None of us are immune from unexpected tragedy or loss. And when disruptions do interfere with our lives, what should be our response? Well, coming up on Hope Today, global entrepreneur and best-selling author, Michelle McKinney-Hammond, is with us to talk about when shifts happen. She's going to reveal how divine discontentment can lead to pathways of change. You know, Amanda, none of us are immune from when turbulence and things happen in our lives, but it's always great to have a fresh perspective of what God says in the midst of it. That is so true, Sydney. And here in the Pittsburgh area, y'all it's going to be 70 tomorrow, so just hang in there. I'm telling you, but for real, seasons of change in our lives. And I think oftentimes we get so stuck on the repetition of life. And sometimes I feel like change happens in our life because God's trying to move us into a different area. I know I've gotten to a place in life where I have actually said thank you to my children, you know, who really put us through a whole lot, made us pray very hard. But the wells of love that were developed in those years of that intercession, I wouldn't have that, you know, if it wasn't for it. So it's like amazing how when you go back and look at those valleys in life and there were good character of God that was developed in those areas and you can become thankful. Well, I found out about myself and I was joking with Michelle before the show that I love my comfort zone. I love, I put pillows in my comfort zone. I put my feet up, you know, I got my big screen TV in my comfort zone. But God, he still moves us on and moves us into new places because that causes growth. Well, as you know, we've all been praying for Israel. I hope you've continued in prayer for Israel this entire time. You know, we, there was an Israeli air strike in Gaza overnight. Listen, man, wars is a horrible thing. It's nasty stuff. And we believe that Israel has the right to defend themselves, but we also, our hearts got to innocent Palestinians as well that are suffering the consequences of the horrible things that Hamas did in the retribution from Israel. We just need to continue in prayer, everybody. We need to continue in prayer for the situation. So I'm gonna ask you, Amanda, if you don't mind, if you would please pray and bring Israel before the Lord today. And we wanna ask you to join us. You know, it's one thing for us to be here on set praying, but we wanna mobilize the body of Christ because together we are a greater force than individually. So let's join in prayer, you at home, wherever you're watching from, join us. Father, we just reseach your throne and we ask for your mercy, God, upon your people. Lord, I thank you that we are all considered your people, Jews and Greeks, Father God. And I ask for you to reveal your heart, Father God, to Hamas even, God, reveal your heart. Lord, I pray that they would have experiences that they would not be able to deny that Jesus Christ is the true Son of God. Lord, I pray for Israelis that don't yet know that the Messiah has come, that their eyes will be open. God, I pray that you will just move mightily. Lord, around our world, Father, we have heard it prophetically said that as things are happening in Israel, so are things happening around the world. And God, we are looking to you, Father, I thank you that fear is bound, God, from us, that you would deliver us and that your enemies would scatter. Lord, I thank you that you help us that are living in the comfort of America or other countries around the world that our hearts won't be cold toward what's happening in Israel. But Father, awaken us, awaken us, Father, to the things that are happening. And Father, we pray, number one, for your kingdom to come and your will to be done in Jesus' mighty name. Amen, hallelujah. Just like that, I invite you to continue to pray. You can also call our prayer partners. You can pray for Israel that way. You can also pray for any needs you have in your family, Sid. Yeah, and you know as we've been just talking about what the war is going on in Israel, just want to encourage you that I know what we're seeing in the natural, there's so much going on in the spiritual.  And so we just want to encourage you and comfort you, even I know some people, there's a lot of fear, there's a lot of uncertainty. But know that God, he is with us. He is Emmanuel, God with us. So no matter what's happening in the earth, whatever is going on, it is time for us to rise and shine, for our light has come. Because even though there's gross darkness over the earth, we know that God is calling us as us, as the ecclesia, as the body of Christ to be the light in the midst of darkness. But you know, oftentimes we go through our own periods of darkness and it can be hard. It can be troublesome. It can be worrisome. And that's why we're so grateful for our guests today. Michelle McKenney Hammond is an award-winning, Emmy Award, excuse me, winner, global entrepreneur and best-selling author of more than 40 books. Known as the Queen of Reinvention and Empowerment, McKenney Hammond has helped thousands of people who've been blindsided with lost flourish during unexpected change. Her latest book, When Shift Happens, say yes to your next. She shares personal experiences of upheaval in order to empower others. Michelle, it is such an honor to have you with us today. Thank you so much. I'm glad to be here. So Miss Michelle, just wanna ask you, for decades you have been inspiring people with your books and just pouring wisdom and advice, what prompted you in your spirit to create When Shift Happens? Well, Shift happened. I mean, the world shut down, lots of things took place, but actually I waited for three years afterwards to write the book and really felt compelled by the spirit of the Lord that even though the pandemic seemed to be over, that people were still reeling from the changes in the aftermath of it. You know, that there was a place where some people got stuck, some people were energized and some people were paralyzed by the changes that took place. We do business differently. We do education differently. We've even shifted in the way we approach relationships. So I felt that it was time to address these issues and let people know that there's hope on the other side of that change. You know, even just, I know like COVID-19, it seems like it was so long ago, but we are still dealing with the aftershocks in our whole world. Like you said, it has shifted, it has changed. And one thing I like that you bring up and you brought up when you were writing is this whole idea of divine discomfort. Can you define what it is and what it looks like when we're in it? Well, you know, sometimes I think that we think it's our own discontent, but it's actually God ruffling our feathers and saying, there's more, there's more beyond where you're sitting. You know, I've had this repetitive dream over the years that I lived in this house and I'm walking around one day. And I noticed a door I never noticed before. And I opened the door and I walk into it and it's an entire wing of the house I never knew was there, beautifully furnished with fabulous rooms. And I start saying, I can't believe this has been here all this time. I could have been doing this, I could have been doing that. I could have served people this way and that way. And I know that it's God's nudge to me that, hey, Michelle, there's more deposited in you than what you're using. It's time now to stretch beyond where you've been and step into your next. So I believe that that happens for every person. That little nagging thing that says, there's gotta be more to life than this. There's gotta be more to my career, my relationships, whatever it is I'm doing that God is calling you beyond that safe place into an exciting place, but sometimes that's scary. It can be very scary to jump out on water and walk by faith. Miss Michelle, can you just share from your own personal life experiences where you felt like, you know, what God was kind of moving the nest and it's like, okay, daughter, it's time for you to go. Well, you know, I've been through a lot of changes in my own life. I've had the death of a boyfriend, which led me to Christ. I got hit by a car and was in bed for a year and a half recovering, which made me write my first book. I've gone through devastating financial loss based on just bad things happening in my office, which ended up paving the way for me to move to Ghana because I had to sit and look at my options of where was I and what was happening. A lot happened in that short period of time. Office lost, home get before closed, my dad died, like all within, it was like a job experience. And I remember my accountant walking up to me and saying, look, your dad left stuff to you.  And that's exactly what I did. And it's been an exciting ride ever since, I'll tell you. It's just amazing, like even in those roughest, as those hardest times, how God is just like, okay, even though it's rough and tough, I have a plan and purpose for you. And one thing I really love that you write a lot about is you reference the book of Job. So for you, Ms. Michelle, how had the book of Job really inspired you and encouraged you to move forward into your yes? Well, he got double for his trouble, didn't he? I mean, he lost everything. And his friends were saying, you did this wrong and that wrong. And he hadn't done anything wrong. God actually trusted him with the test and rewarded him in great measure after he came through. I forgot to mention that I got fired and rehired to the same job twice. And you know, what was so interesting was that second time when they let me go, my boss said to me, we have to do cutbacks. And I really measured who I should let go. And I decided you were the most likely to succeed because I know that you have a lot of dreams that you haven't pursued because you're comfortable here.  Well, after that, I went on to produce and direct two infomercials for them and won two phylos that year, first and second place. I would never have known that I had the ability to write and produce and direct if I had been sitting in the same spot. So there's this place where God takes us where we discover the more that he's placed in us when we embrace the change. If we sit down and be paralyzed and we're like that man at the pool of Bethesda who just sat there for 38 years, we won't discover we can walk. But when Jesus comes along and causes discomfort and says, get up. And hey, by the way, take up your mat.  We discover that we're stronger than we know. I love that. So you shared about like your job was just like, okay, we got to push you out.  And can you just speak to that person who's watching right now? They are right in that place. They're like, you know what, I feel stuck. I don't know what to do. Can you speak to them about how important it is to change the mind? The mindset is everything. You know, you can say I have to do something or you can say I get to do something. When you say I have to do something, you put yourself in jail because all you're thinking about is the imprisonment factor. But when you say I get to do something, the world opens up options to you. You're free to pick another lane to drive down. So it's really important to not feel that God is imposing you into a bonded situation and that he's actually pushing you into freedom and liberation to discover more than you imagined. Remember the word says, I hasn't seen, ear hasn't heard. It hasn't even entered our imagination. The things that God has prepared for us, not just in eternity, but right here on earth when we're open to the change and say, okay God, I'm not gonna ask you why this is happening. I'm gonna ask you what you want to show me, how you're gonna show up and glorify yourself and what you want me to do in this instance. And then follow his finger where he points. I love that.  I've heard a pastor one time say like discipline determines your destiny. Can you speak into that for a moment? Because a lot of us, it's like, we want things to change and shift, but I love how you're talking about the consistency aspect is important. Yes, you have to keep at it. I mean, it took years for Noah to build that arc, you know, he could have said at any point, this doesn't look like it's working and stopped and he would have been caught in the flood. But the day came when opportunity met his preparation and he had success. And that's what we have to really know that we have to employ. Sometimes I think we get into a place in space where we over spiritualize the things we're going through and we don't take the actions that are necessary. Faith without works is dead and prayer is where we check in with God to receive instructions on the way forward. So it's very important to employ those two things together, to get the instruction and then remain consistent. You know, it's very important to not just know what God said, but what God is saying. There's a big difference. God, what he said is the big picture. Abraham, you're gonna be father of many nations. But what was he saying? He was saying on a daily basis, move, go here, go there, go there. Okay, now it's time to pray for those people who can't have children. I mean, there were instructions along the way and then he came back at that moment when it was time for that plan to be implemented to say, okay, this time next year you're gonna have a child. So there's what he said and then there's what he is saying. So we've got to stay plugged in, getting those daily instructions and consistently following through. Oh, you just hit something so powerful. There's what God said and what God is saying. So how if that person right now is like, okay, I have, because I know a lot of times we've received these prophetic words that God said this, but listening to those day to day what he's saying, how do you cultivate that in your life? I think a lot of people, you know, they want that, but they don't know how to go about cultivating those moments. Well, that said, building of intimacy on a daily basis with God, you know, taking the time for devotions, taking the time to check in and say, what's on your heart, God? What's on your mind? You know, prayer is not just about giving him a list of things to do for you. It's about finding out what's on his heart for you, what his directions are for you on a daily basis. And as you cultivate that daily, his voice will become sharper and sharper in your spirit. You know, the word says, you'll hear a voice behind you saying, this is the way, walkie in it. So cultivate the interest, but also cultivate taking the time to hear what God is saying. He's gonna speak to you in different ways. He's gonna speak to you through the word.   So you've gotta be sensitive to all the ways that God speaks. Michelle, I kinda wanna stay on this theme because sometimes people have gotten a vision of something, but it seems like a far off, like a light way out there somewhere and they just don't seem like they're getting there. What do you say to that person that has this vision and it's from God and it's something they know that God wants them to do that they just don't seem like they're getting there? Well, they've gotta trust the process of God. Nothing great happened overnight in the word. Let's face it.  Now, initially when he had the dream, he thought it was about him and his brothers liking him, but it was a bigger dream. See, the visions and dreams we have are usually bigger than what we conceptualize them to be. And those things take a longer time because it's not just about you. It's about kingdom business and God's kingdom design and how it all fits into everything else that he's doing. And so that's where the consistency that Sidney addressed comes in. You've got to stay at it and that is where our trust gets tried, isn't it? When we're saying, whoa, wait a minute. I think before the show started, I was talking about how I've been studying the two storms that the disciples went through with Jesus. Now in both cases, he said, go to the other side. There was a vision of reaching another place, but there was upheaval in the middle of it and it seemed that God wasn't even interested. In one instance, he was asleep. In the other instance, he was sitting up in a mountain watching them as the waves were battering and finally decided to walk down and give them some hope. But the bottom line is they got to the other side and he was present. He did know what was going on and he allowed them to be tested and strengthened and for their faith to grow and for them to get another revelation of who he was in the middle of the upheaval that got them to the other side. So you've got to just keep pushing and you've got to keep trusting and staying on your face and getting those daily instructions. And when you hear nothing, know that there's still a lot going on beneath the surface. I talk about seasons in the book and winter, and it looks like nothing's going on in winter, but there's a whole lot going on in winter and that becomes evident in spring when it seems like overnight, flowers appear. That's so powerful. I think you're dropping so many wisdom nuggets and I just love what we were talking about, you know, when Jesus is saying like, cast your nets the other side or getting to the other side of the storm that it's so important to keep our eyes centered and stayed on Jesus.  And I love this quote that you have in your book that really touched my spirit. It says, when life blinds sides you with loss, you must renew your vision and decide to begin again. Review your options for starting over and choose your path. A lot of times would you say that, you know, when God is shaking us, when he's shifting us, that there's a lot of loss that can happen in those winter seasons, but it's all for his purpose and plan to get us where we're called to go. Most definitely, he's just clearing the path for something better. You know, hoarders, you can't get in the house, you can't bring anything new in, right? So you got to clean out the excess. I have a practice where every year I clean out my closet and I would say, why don't the clothes go down? But I realized I made room for new ones. Exactly the same way I just did that today. So we're on the same page. I love that. Yeah. So God is always making room for more and we're clinging to the old because we're really spiritual hoarders, you know? We like things that we know. So we cling to the familiar, not knowing that, you know, on the title of the book, we deliberately did the if in the middle of the shift to italicize because there is a big if in the middle of shift. There's that element of the unknown that's scary that causes us to cling to what we know. But that's where we also lose out on new adventures and new opportunities that are even greater than the ones we've experienced. And Miss Michelle, just talking about that, you know, the if between the shift, I think, I feel like a lot of people are right there. It's scary, the unknown, trusting in God in ways you've never trusted in before. Can you just take a moment and just to pray for that person that's watching that is literally like, here I am and I don't know which way I'm gonna, you know, I'm gonna go, you can take a moment and pray for them. Yes, Heavenly Father, I lift up those that are in the middle of feeling anxious and fearful of their future. And just remind them this morning by your spirit that you hold their future in your hands. And as the message Bible says in a Jeremiah 29, 11, you know what you're doing. You've got it all planned out and it's for good not to abandon us, but to give us the future that we hope for. Let them rest in that promise from you this morning because when we have nothing else to show physically, we do have your promise and you are true to your word. You're not a man that you should lie. And so I ask, Father, that their hope would be renewed and revived as they choose to be still and know that you are God in Jesus' name. Amen. Amen, amen. And if that's you, just be sure to call her or I'll line at<PHONE_NUMBER>. Miss Michele, it was such an honor just to have this conversation. And I believe that you've sowed so many seeds of wisdom into people that they know it is time for them to shift. Excuse me, her book is called When Shift Happens, Say Yes to Your Next. Thank you so much for joining us today, Miss Michele. Well, we are just so grateful that you have been with us and we just pray that your spirit has been stirred and knowing that God has so much in store for you. And we come back, you always know we love to speak directly into your spirit and your heart and Amanda has something very special she wants to share with you. We'll be right back.

What a wonderful interview and just the content. There's so many nuggets I wrote down. I don't know if y'all had your paper and pen, but I was going. But you know, she said choosing to follow him daily is a big part or said you said choosing the path was one of her quotes, you know, which way. And so this talk about choice that was just this morning that I was reading from Deuteronomy 30 and it's this choice that we have to choose life. And I wanna look at verse 20 and it says you can make this choice by loving God, obeying him and committing yourself firmly to him. This is the key to your life. I just think that there is so much content in this interview that we did and in this scripture, but it is asking for you to choose. God gives us the option. And today we want you to know he is desiring for you to choose life. And what does it mean to choose life? Well, he said you can make this choice by loving God. Would you choose to love God today? You can make this choice by obeying him when he speaks to you, even in those if moments it can be scary, but you're obedient.  Salvation isn't a fleeting thing that just happens by chance. It is a choice that we choose to make to believe God, to obey him and to firmly commit to him. And today he would desire nothing more than for you to make that commitment. So if you would just ask the Lord, Father, come into my heart. Forgive me of my sins, Father. Forgive me of the times where I missed it and God make me new. Wash me clean with your word, Lord. And I thank you that I get to become a child of the living God. Lord, we thank you for this moment. And if God moved upon your heart and you spoke that with me, I encourage you to give us a call. Let our prayer partners pray with you and we would love to get a tool in your hands that will help you grow in your relationship with God. This is a very serious commitment, Sidney, that the Lord desires of each one of us. He surely does. You know, one of the greatest things that, I just even want to go back to something you said about the key that Jesus right now, I just really believe he wants to unlock the key in your heart.    Things will change. Falls, the chains will break off of you. And that's what we desire. That's the greatest hope that we have is in him and him alone. He is the great I am. He is Emmanuel, God with us. And more than anything, we just want you to know that he loves you with an everlasting love and he paid the ultimate price that you and I could not pay so that we could have life, not just eternal life, but we can have an abundant life here on earth and experience the kingdom of God.  It is the ultimate shift. It is walking in newness of life. It says in the scriptures. Do you walk in that newness of life? It is walking from one direction into another one, walking away from God to walking towards him, walking following after him, being a Christ follower and having your life changed forever. It is the ultimate of leaving one path and taking another. It is Christ in you, the hope of glory. So I hope you prayed with Amanda and that you will continue to follow Christ today. Have a great one in him. On tomorrow's Hope Today, have you ever found yourself searching for meaning and purpose but still feel unsatisfied?

Upon the shores of Lake Taupo within New Zealand is an intriguing, as yet unexplained artifact that has become known as the Kaimanawa Wall. What is interesting regarding the Kaimanawa Wall is the fact that it clearly predates academia's rigidly attested view of the past inhabitants of the country. New Zealand is largely accepted to have first been inhabited within the last 800 years. However, the analysis that has been done on this mysterious wall has shown that it is, at very minimum, 2,000 years old. Additionally, it clearly displays the telltale construction qualities of a lost knowledge, evidently within countless other ruins found all over the world. The controversial wall first came to public attention during the early 1990s, with a publication by Barry Braelfords in the New Zealand listener, called Megalith Mystery, Our Giant Stones in the Kaimanawa Forest Park. Evidence of an ancient New Zealand culture? Within he details how analysis has shown that the stone wall is at least 2 millennia old, and was created by previous unknown settlers within New Zealand. He called them the Waitaha, and postulated that they were subsequently exterminated by the Maori's who arrived only 800 years ago. Furthermore, Brailsford maintains that the wall could link New Zealand with Egypt, South America, and many other ancient civilizations, continuing to list 12 pieces of evidence to support his claims. Predictably, however, individuals within many different fields of academia have leapt to the defense of currently upheld paradigms. The Department of Conservation, archaeologists, geologists, and just about every political party in New Zealand, including a number of media outlets, directed tremendous hostility toward the claims, leading to the site being completely shut off to the public. You have to wonder, what are they so scared of people finding? Regardless of Braelfords' evidence, a conclusion that the wall is nothing but a mere natural formation has been publicly peddled ever since the publication nearly 30 years ago. A conclusion in staunch denial of reality or evidence. The conclusion made by official geologists was that the wall is an outcrop of a large ignombrite, a natural formation created about 330,000 years ago. They claim that the block shapes were produced by fractures in the rock, attributed to earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and other natural events. It seems scholars are quite happy to date such sites, but extremely reluctant to attribute any intelligent design within their creation. Could the Kaimanawa Wall really be a 330,000-year-old man-made wall, a wall built by the same people as many other sites found across the world? We find such possibilities highly compelling. There are many ways to create a misleading, coercive conspiracy. Yet nearly all good stories, even when mostly fictional, to upstand some level of scrutiny must contain that which is known as the kernel of truth. And these kernels can be found throughout the mountains of ancient stories, belief systems, rituals, and medicines worldwide. Found throughout ancient texts, however, interestingly, there are countless accounts of a great deluge. However, modern curriculums are not about finding the truth within these writings, but a form of conformity. We not only feel that the evidence for a flood worldwide exists, but that the pre-flood civilizations who lived through this event, claimed as secluded, primitive, small settlements, didn't venture far until a much later academically claimed dating. We are now slowly exposing the truth regarding said events. Modern technologies, such as ground-penetrating radar, are now being utilized more and more. Many of these studies are finding mega-metropolises, often now resting beneath and amongst dense forests, having been revealed via this technology to have been not individual settlements, one enormous city, some with estimated populations of 10 million people or more, facts which are in staunch opposition to modern dating paradigms. Along with ours and many others, personal, in-depth research into the technologies and knowledge of the creators and later re-inhabitants of such sites, have also been proven beyond doubt to have once had shared knowledge. Unquestionably made by people who are in global communication, endless examples of tools, masonry techniques, and artifacts are often found who have all been crafted in the same ways, with matching scars found at quarries and upon megaliths worldwide. Yet these quarries again bring us back to our original message, that of a shared experience of catastrophe, also one of which being the Great Flood. Maybe these groups worked on huge weather-resistant stones as an attempt to face off against such enormous natural forces. Yet it would seem, although they left their mark on the globe, as our research would suggest were in vain, as they were seemingly wiped out in an instant, with many sites abandoned mid-flow during one of these events. Interestingly, not only would the evidence suggest a sudden disappearance of those responsible for many of the most extraordinary megalithic ruins. There have also been remnants found and documented within mainstream-funded study, which is not only indicative of a prior knowledge of this possible swelling of the seas, but an immense effort attempted to build fortresses to protect against such an event, dated as 7,000 years old. From an article titled, quote, This 7,000-year-old wall was the earliest known defense against rising seas. Lizzie Wade states, and I quote, About 7,000 years ago, seas were rising all over the world, ice age glaciers were melting, and the ocean crept up shorelines and toward people's homes on every inhabited continent. Now archaeologists have discovered the earliest known defense against those rising seas. A 7,000-year-old seawall built to protect a farming village from worsening storm surges and encroaching saltwater from the Mediterranean sea. Ultimately, however, the wall failed, and now lies drowned off the coast of Israel, along with the rest of the settlement it was meant to protect. End quote. Additionally, Amy Goosek, an archaeologist at the Natural History Museum in Los Angeles, California, who studied this period around California's Channel Islands, stated, and I quote, All the different kinds of responses we see toward sea-level rise 7,000, 8,000, 9,000 years ago, we're still seeing all of those same responses today. Discoveries such as these not only prove of our ancient ancestors' awareness in regards to the possible dangers of rising sea levels, but supports the argument that human contributions are not as catastrophic as are currently believed by some to be. The questions regarding their origins, however, who was once responsible for such remarkable efforts, remains a mystery, one which we are determined to solve. It is a journey of discovery which we find highly compelling. When within this modern world of academic study, a ruin is found, a ruin of such astonishing feature or size, one which is clearly an out-of-place artifact within the realm of its accompanying modern paradigm, no matter how amazing, how historically important, due to its sheer inexplicability, one will rarely hear about it in popular debate, and one such ruin is Kat Shibib. The archaeological site was first identified by British diplomat Sir Alec Kirkbride in 1948, an ancient wall over 93 miles long, whose origins are predictably unknown. Ever since its initial discovery, a range of disciplines, including archaeologists, scientists, and anthropologists, have studied the wall. Yet the date of the Kat Shibib's construction, however, is still claimed as unknown, regardless of it also being claimed as, quote, widely debated by archaeologists. Regardless of this claim, many will have never heard of this spectacular ancient ruin, a reality we claim not by coincidence, but design. Recent study of the wall by the aerial archaeology in Jordan Project have found that it runs north northeast, south southwest, spanning a total unbroken distance of 66 miles. However, they also discovered sections where two run parallel, this for an additional substantial distance, quote, if we add the spurs and stretches of parallel wall, the total length would be about 150 kilometers, or 93 miles, wrote David Kennedy, a professor at the University of Western Australia, and Rebecca Banks, a research assistant at Oxford University, in a paper published recently in the journal Zeitschrift for Orient Archaeology. It is unquestionably a remarkable ancient ruin, one evident of a once highly capable, yet now lost civilization. It is a ruin which we find highly compelling. Rued Island holds an astonishing ancient secret. Located within the Mediterranean, it is the only inhabited island within Syria, and we believe was once an awe-inspiring fortress. Having once been protected on all sides, although very little of the wall remains, what is still in existence demonstrates an incredible past civilization's prowess. Like with so many other ancient sites around the world, it was constructed using enormous megalithic blocks, once somehow masterfully placed atop one another. It is unknown whether this wall was created from fear of the seas or possible invaders, but this gigantic wall once enclosed the island completely. Known to the Greeks as Arados, it was renamed Ruad or Aruad by the Templars during the Crusades.  There have been numerous individuals of late, attempting to explain away many of these enormous megalithic walls and buildings, such as the temples within Balback as mere Roman architecture. However, just like the academics they parrot, they conveniently have no logical idea as to how this was done, relying solely on modern drawings of these events rather than any form of demonstration. As we have mentioned on many occasions, it would be a logical strategy to not only adopt such awe-inspiring works of architecture as their own, but also to steal techniques these civilizations would have been capable of and claim them as their invention, such as Roman roads, Roman columns, etc. There are many buildings on our earth that are, we agree, undoubtedly 2,000 years old. Not only are their constructions documented at length, but their condition also reflects this age. However, with ruins such as the Balback temples and indeed the Wall of Ruad, their condition, along with the inexplicable nature of their construction, is not only indicative of lost knowledge, but subsequently evade current explanation. This reality persists no matter how hard some try to explain them away as more modern achievements. Yangshan Quarry, Gornaya Shoria, the pregnant woman, the Colossae of Menman, the list goes on. All these ancient builds incorporate blocks well into the thousands of tons with countless more lost to history. How these structures were built is a mystery, yet if they were indeed completed by our own more modern ancestors, why is this knowledge lost to the eons? Why did these civilizations not continue these miraculous feats of engineering? Why were these supposed capable civilizations not building impenetrable fortresses to protect their flourishing civilizations from possible invaders using these same techniques? We will continue to argue, and we feel, with good reason, that academia, along with many other suspicious individuals, are selling you a fallacy, not only to appear all-knowing, but also to conceal that which they do not understand. Who built the Wall of Ruad, or indeed the many other sites we so often cover? The history of the earth is yet to be fully unraveled. It is a tale some find highly challenging. Nick's was at one time the official meeting place of the Athenian Democratic Assembly of ancient Greece. In the earliest days of Athenian democracy, the Ecclesia meant in the Agora. However, sometime within the early 5th century, the meeting place was moved to a new meeting place, which came to be called Nick's, from the Greek word meaning tightly packed together. This word, we feel, was more than likely inspired by the astonishing polygonal masonry, so often conveniently absent any of academia explanations as to the origins of such sites. How can individuals tasked with establishing an accurate understanding as to the origins of such sites seemingly overlook that which cannot be explained? It is clear to us that a conspiracy has befallen the academically established historical timeline of our species, this in favor of a perceived all-knowing rather than that which they truly are, rather out of their depth. The Nick's Wall being one of the most compelling and enigmatic features of the ancient ruin. Polygonal masonry of extraordinary size, with a construction method indicative of a lost technology and thus lost civilization. Excavations at the site began in 1910 by the Greek Archaeological Society, which definitely confirmed the site as the Nick's. Interestingly, on the western end of the site is an ancient astronomical observatory. However, during the Greek's inhabitants, the site was the focus of political discussion, not astronomy. These discussions were held every nine days and required the involvement of no less than 6,000 residents of Athens, although it is thought that the site could actually hold more than 20,000 individuals. Who built Nick's? Or indeed, the inexplicable Polygonal masonry, present in its boundary walls, with blocks similar in size to that of the fortress of Saxe Huaman? The question is, why has this site seemingly been overlooked, not only by academia, but missed by the majority of alternative research? This absence of research, we feel, is clear proof of academia's efficiency to stifle free thought. We suspect that their motives focus on protecting investments, to retain book sales in regards to their apparent, accurate explanations of the Greek's enrollments. This requires the concealment of anything which contradicts this tale of events, concealing features which would inevitably ignite unanswerable questions within the viewer's mind. It is undoubtedly an astonishing wall, surrounding an equally astonishing ruin, a place we find highly compelling. There are countless ancient sites found all over the planet that are not only far older than current academically claimed by individuals funded to come up with specifically permitted dates for their creation, selling one's integrity in favor of financial securities and an authoritative position within society, offered to them in return for their obedient deceits. Like a mule guided by a carrot, these individuals not only fear losing such reputations and handsome incomes if one were to tell the truthful story regarding said sites, but they unquestionably turn a blind eye to the many areas that I cover, which are often not only implausible to state where the work of the particular permitted re-inhabitants placed much closer to us within history, but to suggest that such ancestors were capable of said feats is simply a preposterous claim. They often knowingly and deliberately overlook such features, due to their lack of any plausible explanation for such accomplishments. As such, with many ancient sites simply ignored or are disguised as closed-book cases with a dull, deliberately disinteresting tale of origin. These academics have some of the most intimate access to these ruins, yet deny the world's population a true account of said relics. For to suggest that a civilization less advanced than us accomplished the placement of megaliths far into the thousands of tons precisely atop one another with awe-inspiring stonework details and polygonal brickwork seemingly created like a puzzle of unique pieces, among many other baffling features, I feel is a proof of a deliberate agenda-driven conspiracy concealing said sites true origins. These unexplainable anomalies, the main reason why said individuals perceive me as a threat, not only to their funding, but also their positions of trusted authority within modern society. For the truths I tell, due to the inexplicable nature of their existence and their lack of exposure within academic studies, expose the field as a funded organized group of deceivers. These features are simply impossible for them to explain, yet they continue to claim that they were built by people who were undeniably incapable of such feats. This is why many unexplainable artifacts simply vanish, and why many ancient sites are not only brushed under the proverbial carpet, but said features overlooked, ignored, and not mentioned at all. And our next relic is no exception. Many people have heard of the Great Wall of China, one of the only ancient ruins which is so large it can be seen from space, a very famous wall. Yet an even greater number of people are unaware of another Great Wall which can be found within India. Successfully overlooked by modern historians and antiquarians alike, this wall, known as the Kumpalgar, has been claimed to be merely a recently created ruin. Yet I feel just like the many other ancient ruins found around the globe is far older than currently claimed. It is of an astonishing size, and a number of alternative so-called fringe researchers, which academics like to derogatorily call them, have found substantial evidence that not only is the upper layers far older than claimed, but the entire wall sits upon a foundation immensely older than the wall we see today. A foundation that many have concluded is so old that it had simply turned to dust through the eons, rebuilt at a currently unknown time within antiquity. The wall stretches an astonishing 22 miles, and once protected hundreds of extremely ancient dwellings, and measured at over 40 feet thick, to suggest that such a feat could have been accomplished by our more recent ancestors, who the founders of mainstream academia permits is a tough posit to agree with. For if such claim were true, why is the wall seemingly ignored by modern history? I feel the reason the wall has been successfully kept largely unknown is due to the fact that if openly studied and widely known of, more people would research such site, eventually realizing, like many before them, that the wall is far older than currently claimed, and possesses such enormous amounts of stone, along with an immensely older foundation, that current claims of its origins and age are simply incorrect, and a clear attempt to shrug off this astonishing structure as a reasonably modern creation which they hope will not be looked at closely. An attempt to close the book on a possible antediluvian ruin, which many people as a result told with a dull deceptive history for its existence, which not only stifles one's interest regarding the wall's origin, but deters the curious from ever investigating the wall's truly astonishing nature. A motivation which I feel is the main driving force behind its lack of public exposure. Who rebuilt the Great Wall of India? How old is its far older, highly eroded foundation? The Great Wall of India was an astonishing feat of ancient engineering, a feat that academia would prefer stay largely unknown, a reality which I find highly compelling.

Hello, hello, hello, you guys. Welcome back to my channel. It is Drew here from Lone Fox and I am in a very exciting mood today because we have another little segment of aesthetic DIY decor, which is such a fun one for me to actually recreate because I am an avid social media user. I love scrolling through TikTok. I love scrolling through Instagram and YouTube, checking out DIY projects and getting inspired. And I have a couple of really incredible projects to share with you guys, but I have to mention today's sponsor because this has been such a full circle moment for me, you guys. Like today's video is sponsored by Cricket and I never ever thought I would say that I have a video sponsored by Cricket because in the past I was actually a scrapbooker. I had a scrapbooking channel for five years and I avidly used my Cricket expression machine for years, you guys. I had a Cricket expression. I actually had two of them and I also had a Cricket cake machine. And so I always use my Cricket. I use the cartridge and I can tell you guys right now that the advancements that Cricket has made to their brand is incredible. Like the stuff that you can do with the Cricket maker machine, which is what I'm going to be using today, is unreal. It is crazy how technology has advanced and how they've really upped their products. I also don't know if you guys have noticed, but on Cricket is such a trend and a craze. So I figured this would kind of go hand in hand with the aesthetic and viral projects because I see so many incredible viral TikTok projects using a Cricket machine. And I thought I would go ahead and create some of those here for you guys today and share with you how simple it is to create customized pieces using a Cricket. But enough of me rambling, let's jump on into the projects. Lately I have been in love with these mirrors that have different quotes and phrases on them. Typically they're positive affirmations, which I just love. So I decided I wanted to go ahead and create my own. So I opened up the Cricket design studio on my computer and I searched for clouds within their image section. The great thing about Cricket design studio is there are so many different images that you can cut out. So I went ahead and I selected a whole bunch of different cloud shapes and I am going to be using a 12 inch by 12 inch mat. So I just made sure that all of my clouds kind of fit within that section. And I started kind of organizing them across the board and adjusting the sizes because I want a variety of different sizes of clouds. I also wanted of course to add that little affirmation. So I wrote hello gorgeous on there and I used my circular font, which I use for almost everything, resized it and just filled in the rest of my sheet with some clouds.  Once it is fully completed and all your clouds are down, go over all of them as shown here, right click and then click weld. That's just going to ensure that the image cuts as shown. And then we're going to grab our material. So I'm going to be using premium vinyl textured material for this project. But the great thing about the Cricut Maker is that it honestly cuts so many materials. It actually cuts over 300 materials from delicate pieces like crepe paper and fabric to more thicker materials like mat board, leather and basswood, which is incredible. I'm for this project going to be using this really pretty metallic gold textured vinyl though, because I thought it would look really nice over the top of the silver kind of reflective mirror. So I'm loading that into my machine, filling up the entire mat and pressing go on it. This is going to start the process of cutting. So of course, we're going to be cutting out all of our different cloud shapes along with the Hello Gorgeous phrase. And also just a little side note, the ease of use on this machine is insane, you guys. It was so, so simple and easy to use. I had it up and running within 10 minutes and the Cricut design space as well is such an easy application. It is so simple. It's like drag and drop and everything is basically done for you. So once that's done, cutting all of our material, we're going to go ahead and start removing anything that we don't need. So I'm going to go ahead and remove all of that excess material on there to reveal our actual cuts here. So we're going to basically be turning this into stickers in a sense. So I'm going to be using a little bit of transfer tape and I'm going to be applying that on top, making sure that it's covering absolutely every single cut that we created. And I'm using a little spatula tool just to kind of burnish it down on top to ensure once we pull it off, it is stuck to the transfer paper. So as you could see here, I'm going through using these scissors and I'm just going to go around and cut all of these out just so I have individual clouds to work with. This will just allow you to visualize where they could go prior to having to stick them down. So the first thing I'm starting off with is the Hello Gorgeous phrase. And you're just going to make sure to really press that down on the transfer tape, remove the underlayer and then press it on top of your surface using the spatula once again to transfer the vinyl material onto your mirror. So once that's transferred down, we're going to go ahead and start applying our clouds all the way around the outside. You can totally just skip the cloud portion if you want to and only do like a word phrase on your mirror if you'd like. But I wanted to go ahead and do it all around and make this piece more of a statement, kind of selfie mirror. Just something fun to take photos in and just something to give you a little positive affirmation for the day. So I went ahead and I applied all my clouds around the outside. You can do this with a blue material as well, which I think would be so pretty, like a sky blue if you'd like. And then once I was done with it, I went ahead and I folded over the excess vinyl from the edges. And if any of the sections were just too large to fold, I simply just cut it off and that finished off our little cloud affirmation mirror. For this next project, I actually came across this TikTok a couple of weeks ago and I was obsessed with it and I just had to recreate it. So I started off by taking one of these Target plastic bowls and Target plastic cups. These cost 50 cents each. And I'm actually going to go ahead and start gluing the bottom side of our cup to the bottom side of the bowl. We're essentially going to be creating a pedestal bowl and the shape of it is actually really nice. Next, she actually in her video used spray paint, but I couldn't find any spray paint that I wanted to use for this particular project. So I went in with my trusty ceramic paint that we all know and love. I used a little bit of vintage white mixed with some tan and then of course added in a little bit of baking soda to create that thick textured look. And I'm going to go ahead and give this three full coats of this paint just to give it a nice full coating. And the really great thing about the makeup of these actual pieces is that they're actually like kind of matte. So they have like a matte finish on them, which allows the paint to grip really, really nicely, which I love. So I went ahead, I applied on one coat of this paint all the way around making sure to hit every single crack and crevice. I wish I was able to find the white bowling cup like she used in her video just cause it probably would have covered a bit easier. However, I couldn't, I just went ahead and got to this black and gray set. But again, you guys, these materials for this project only costed $1 plus the paint, which a lot of us already have paint on hand. So in the end, this project ended up costing me, I would say roughly around $2 to create. And I just loved the way that it turned out. I went ahead and I applied a second coat on there just to get even more texture. And once it was complete, I styled it like this. Our third project was inspired by my good friend Jen from Generation DIY. And she actually created these super cute glass mugs for drinking water. But I was like, why don't I create these for my tea and coffee? Because I already had the glass mugs on hand and I just loved her idea so much. And I had no idea this vinyl was washable but it totally is you guys. So I went into my Cricut Design Studio and create three different text boxes. The first one's going to say but, the second one's going to say first. And the third one is going to say coffee or tea or it could be water. It could be a Moscow mule. It could be whatever your heart desires. So once I had those phrases designed in the Cricut Design Studio, I cut out my material of choice, which is again, that gold vinyl because she used this on her project and I just loved the way that the gold looked on the clear. I am now going in with my picker tool and I'm going to go ahead and just pick out all of the insides of those letters and remove our excess vinyl material. We're just going to want our letters and our words on there because we're going to be creating essentially two large stickers. So pressing down my transfer tape and cutting them apart from each other. Once you have that done, you can grab your glass mug. I got this one on Amazon if you guys are curious and I'm just going to burnish down the vinyl to the top of the transfer tape. That way when we pull it off the actual vinyl letters transfer, then we can put it onto our actual material that we're going to want to use, which is our glass mug. And then we're going to use our spatula once again to firmly press down our vinyl and ensure that it's nicely transferred from the tape. Now onto the glass mug. So once you have that pressed down, you can go ahead and remove the transfer tape and your vinyl should be transferred onto your mug. And I just think this is such a cute mug. I am so excited to add this to my collection. And of course I had to make one for tea as well because I am an avid nighttime or like sleepy tea drinker. So I thought this would be such a fun one. And you guys do not worry, the heat from the inside of the mug does not make the vinyl come off at all. I've already used these and I love them. And for our last project, I swear to you guys, I come across at least 10 people making clothing pieces using the EasyPress machine and their Cricut Maker. So I wanted to go ahead and try to create my own piece of clothing. So I actually went on to Etsy and I found an SVG file by this store here, which I will link below for you guys. I thought it was super cute. You can actually upload your very own designs in the Cricut Design Studio. So I went ahead, I uploaded the SVG file. That is the proper file you use when it cutting on a Cricut machine. So I went ahead, I placed that in and sized it. And next I chose this Royal Blue Iron-On Transfer. This is meant for ironing on. And then once I had my process all set, you're gonna wanna ensure that you click the mirror toggle right here. Just ensure that you click that on because iron-on transfers are actually kind of reversed in the process of creating them. So you're going to cut this out on your iron-on transfer sheet. And once that's fully cut out, I'm going to remove that and we're going to then remove all of the excess material that we do not wanna be transferred on to our T-shirt. So the plastic underside is our new transfer tape. And then this kind of like matte, almost iron-on blue material is going to be what's going to be transferred onto the actual shirt itself.  It was actually very satisfying. Like I could do this for hours. Then we go to our EasyPress. Now, if you go online and you Google Cricut Heat Guide, they actually have a guide that shows you everything you need to do for your EasyPress machine. So I just showed that I'm using an express iron-on and I'm also going to be using a cotton T-shirt. So it shows me that I need to be using my EasyPress machine at 300 degrees for 15 seconds. So I went ahead, I prepped my shirt to start, placed down my iron-on vinyl, making sure that the vinyl side was towards the shirt, as shown here, placed my EasyPress on top, clicked the button to start the timer and then pressed it down for 15 seconds. Once that was done, I flipped it over to the backside and did 15 more seconds and that's all there is to it. I created this shirt in probably 10 minutes maximum and it is so cute, you guys. I just loved that it ended up turning out. It's super soft as well. And I also wanted to go in and create one more with a tiny little Lone Fox logo, just to show you how great this machine actually cuts.  I'm literally wearing my shirt right now that I created because it is so cute. I just loved working on these projects, you guys. It was so much fun, such a full circle moment being able to work with a Cricut again. Like I just remember having a Cricut so long ago and loving it and using the cartridges. And now that I'm able to use like custom artwork and custom images and really customize absolutely everything including so many materials that you can work with, it is just such a universal cutting machine. And I highly suggest, if you're in the market for a cutting machine or you kind of wanna maybe start your own business, it's a great way to start off is by getting yourself a Cricut. So I'm gonna go ahead and link them below for you guys. If you guys want any more information, go ahead and check that link in the description box. And I hope that you enjoyed these projects. I did also throw in that little pedestal bowl because it has been in the back of my mind for probably a couple of weeks now. I've had it saved and I've gone back to it every now and then just seeing how many more views it was getting. Like this project really, really blew up on TikTok and I thought I just wanted to recreate it here for you guys and it only cost me like $2 to create and it was such a cute outcome. Now give this video a big thumbs up if you did enjoy and also do not forget to leave a comment below letting me know which project was your favorite. Now the lighting's kind of fluctuating in here because of Los Angeles. I don't know what's happening with today's weather but it is sunny one minute, then it's pouring rain the next, then it's sunny again, then it's cloudy, then it's sunny. I don't even know what is occurring, then it's thundering. Like what? Anyways, I will let you guys all go have an amazing rest of your day.
