That viral claim about "The 12 Days of Christmas" being a secret Catholic catechism turns out to be the perfect example of how our brains can trick us into seeing faith where none was planted. From a $28,000 grilled cheese sandwich bearing the Virgin Mary's face to ghost hunters hearing spirit voices in radio static, we're wired to find meaningful patterns everywhere — even when those patterns don't exist. What does this mean for believers trying to discern genuine revelation from the stories we tell ourselves?

Hollywood has made horror movies about transplant recipients inheriting the personalities of their donors for decades — but real transplant patients are reporting the same thing, and scientists can't explain why.

Recent government hearings have made UFOs and aliens front-page news, and now a Catholic priest says he'd baptize extraterrestrials if asked. But I think before agreeing so quickly to the idea, this priest needs to be asking some really big theological and spiritual questions.

The shelves of your local Christian bookstore hold stories of prairie romances and missionary adventures, but certain sections remain conspicuously absent. There's a reason some believers avoid entire genres of literature, convinced that faith requires turning away from shadows. Yet scripture itself tells a different story about the role of fear and darkness in the journey toward light.

Something extraordinary happened in Jerusalem that Friday afternoon. The earth shook, rocks split apart, and tombs throughout the city cracked open. But the truly unsettling part came three days later, when witnesses reported seeing dead people walking through the streets.

Scientists say time travel requires bending space-time, manipulating gravity, or approaching light speed. The Bible says God did it with a word - and the evidence might surprise you. From boats that teleport instantly to shadows that run backward on sundials, the Bible contains documented cases of time manipulation that mirror modern quantum physics. In this message, we explore what happens when the Creator of time decides to break His own rules of space and time.

In 1835, a New York newspaper convinced thousands of readers that the moon teemed with bat-winged humanoids, walking beavers, and unicorns, creating the most successful media hoax in American history. The techniques that fooled Yale professors and missionaries nearly two centuries ago are the same ones being used to deceive you today, just wearing modern clothes and confirming what you already want to believe.

Churches will preach about God's love all day long, but they won't tell you that Jesus warned about hell more than He promised heaven — or why the phrase 'go to hell' rolls off your tongue so easily but never comes from the pulpit.

What If Your Biggest Problem Is Something You Don't Believe In? 

From the paranormal investigator who can't find demons because he doesn't believe in them, to the atheist missing God for the same reason, to the Christian blaming everything on spiritual warfare – we're all blind to the realities we've already decided don't exist.
