00:23 Hi friends, and welcome to another edition of NEWSTART NOW.
00:27 I've got an unusual story here for you today, 00:30 one that we've never seen before, 00:33 but, rather than me tell you about it let's take a look 00:35 at when Rick first arrived here 00:37 at the NEWSTART program at Weimar. 00:41 About nine months ago 00:43 began having numbness in the feet, 00:45 and spread throughout my body. 00:48 With going from doctor to doctor, 00:50 and no diagnosis, but every test in the world. 00:55 So I came here looking for answers, and not pills. 00:59 I never thought I would ever come here, 01:01 I thought it was for other people, 01:03 but here I am, and it's where I should be right now. 01:08 Currently I'm on several medications. 01:10 One to deaden the nerve sensation, 01:13 and I've started to lose 01:15 strength, and having quite a bit of 01:17 strength in the shoulders right now. 01:19 I want to be where I was before this started. 01:23 I've gained some weight which I know doesn't help, 01:27 But the fatigue of the illness has caused 01:29 some of that-- I'm hoping with exercise and diet 01:32 that that will improve, 01:33 and I can continue that on after I leave. 01:37 Well here we are in the studio, Rick 01:39 thanks for joining us. - My pleasure. 01:41 Good to see you. 01:43 And you know, I watch you now and after talking with you, 01:47 you at one point in your life was 01:49 a pretty husky strong individual, 01:51 then all of a sudden, you've lost your strength 01:54 you've had all these tests 01:56 nobody knows what's going on with you. 01:59 Is that fair to say? 02:00 That's a very fair assessment. - Ok. 02:02 So what possessed you to choose to come 02:07 to the NEWSTART program? Why here? Why not... 02:09 Why not Mayo clinic or someplace 02:12 where they can really analyze what's going on? 02:15 I thought I had gone through all those kinds of testing, 02:19 and diagnosis, trying, and the prescription drugs, and 02:24 I wasn't really enthusiastic about 02:26 continuing on that path and I was ready to take a... 02:29 you might say, a time out. 02:31 Yes. - and try something different. 02:34 And they put you on different medications, to try 02:37 actually to see if they would in fact 02:41 change your situation I guess 02:42 that's what they do, practice medicine. 02:44 I think my body was 02:46 speaking loud volumes and they wanted to put a muffler on it. 02:49 They were trying to silence 02:52 what I think my body was trying to tell me at the time. 02:55 Yes. 02:56 You described to me that you were 02:59 unable just to even hug somebody 03:01 you couldn't lift your arms. 03:03 I couldn't lift my arms much above my 03:07 waist level. 03:09 It caused extreme pain. Putting a suit jacket on was 03:13 nearly impossible. 03:15 And the strength was draining quickly, 03:17 I could tell I was losing that fast. 03:20 What do they call this situation? 03:24 - I'm at a loss to tell you what it is, 03:28 the neuropathy was 03:30 numbness of the body, but the strength loss, 03:34 the pain, 03:36 and the loss of mobility 03:39 wasn't anything that anyone else could explain, 03:42 except for pain medication 03:44 deaden this, try a cortisone shots 03:48 different things that really... 03:50 if they did anything it was a temporary 03:52 adjustment but it came right back. 03:54 Ok, so now you're here, 03:57 at the NEWSTART program you've 03:59 been here 17 days, what's changed? 04:03 I think, my life turned upside 04:04 down is a pretty easy way to state it. 04:07 From diet to exercise to drinking so much 04:09 water I thought I was going to float away at first 04:13 but, 04:15 yeah everything in my life is different here 04:19 I think outside this 04:23 wonderful place is a life that was taking me down a road where 04:28 I was in trouble. And... 04:32 being here has made a huge 04:33 difference in just a very short amount of time. 04:36 You said to me just before we went on air that 04:39 you've had all these tests, 04:42 and all these tests mean to me probably 25 or 30... 04:46 Blood tests that even sometimes the 04:48 people at the clinics were saying, 04:49 I don't even know where 04:51 we're supposed to send this test. 04:52 -Yes. - Spinal taps, MRIs, Cat Scans. 04:56 Over and over and over, to the point where, 04:58 the neurologist, or the doctors basically said 05:02 I really don't know what to say, 05:04 maybe we should try somebody else. 05:06 So I was almost feeling like I was being 05:09 left adrift 05:11 in a sense in the medical system because 05:13 there wasn't a quick and easy solution. 05:15 - Yes. 05:16 And so in all these tests, 05:19 no one ever analyzed your blood for a deficiency 05:24 as far as nutrition, vitamins, minerals, etc. 05:29 Never came up. 05:30 Never did the question come up, 05:32 How much exercise are you getting? 05:33 Never came up, How much hydration are you 05:38 getting involved with each day? 05:40 Those kind of questions came out very quickly here. 05:43 Here they just came out right? Just a matter of... 05:46 - Minutes, when those questions were coming up. 05:49 - Boom, boom, just like that. - Yeah. 05:51 And so you discovered that you were not only 05:55 low in a vitamin called B12, 05:58 also vitamin D, which is pretty common 06:03 at this juncture in our country. 06:07 It certainly is here at the 06:09 NEWSTART-- or on the Weimar Campus. 06:12 Most of us on campus, 06:14 when we were tested last year were low in both 06:17 B12 and D. 06:19 So tell us what else has transpired with regards to that? 06:22 What did you do about it? 06:24 Well once we figured out what level I was at 06:28 I've gotten some B12 shots 06:30 I've been taking some supplements, 06:33 and the diet change obviously was a big part of that 06:36 No fat, raw foods eaten whole 06:39 Right! That is I think 06:41 pretty well understood here 06:43 And... is... 06:45 kind of the motto, I think is of... 06:47 Was it-- all the foods you ate were they all raw? 06:50 No they were cooked, I've had terrific lasagna, 06:54 had mexican food today that we 06:56 actually helped prepare ourselves today... 06:58 Yes! - our last day 07:00 at the campus here. 07:01 Ah, that's wonderful. 07:03 And so what part of this entire program 07:08 do you think had the most effect on you? 07:14 Wow, I don't know that I could answer 07:16 that in that respect, I would say that 07:19 I got here 07:20 for a... number of... 07:22 I would say a cocktail of reasons. 07:25 And... 07:27 And multiple solutions have come up. 07:29 So they're all to me equally grounded for me 07:33 as a solution of the challenges that I have. 07:37 If you were to teach-- 07:39 let's say you went back home and you found someone 07:41 who had a similar condition, 07:42 what would you tell them? How would you-- 07:44 how would you coach them back to health? 07:48 Well first I'd hopefully be a good example to them, 07:51 as a coach I would be a player coach. 07:53 You know, the exercise I think was the start for me, 07:58 sometimes I don't think we realize how 08:00 out of shape we are until we actually exercise. 08:05 The hydration is just one of those things you just have to do 08:09 and we all have different techniques, 08:11 I've found that drinking a lot of 08:13 water in the morning before exercise 08:15 got my engine started better than 08:17 trying to drink it later in the day. 08:19 And the diet... it comes natural here. 08:23 It's an easy place to start to learn the vegan diet versus 08:27 sampling or something else, 08:29 this is a good experience for that. 08:31 You taste buds change. It doesn't take very long. 08:36 So do you feel that this is a lifestyle 08:40 that you can easily live when you get home? 08:45 I think it will have it's 08:46 challenges but I think if you're determined 08:49 because you know where you came from, 08:51 and now you're knowing where you're heading. 08:53 There's a lot of-- how shall we say-- 08:55 momentum as you leave these doors, this campus, 08:59 that we hope to continue. 09:01 I don't suppose it's going to be easy, 09:04 but it didn't take overnight for me to get here either. 09:08 I would imagine it will be 09:09 still a challenge... it should be. 09:12 It's taken 20 or 30 years for me to get to where I'm at today, 09:16 I know I've got a journey to get back. 09:19 And so... the medications that 09:21 you're taking are you still taking 09:24 all these medications? 09:25 No, the nerve dampening drugs 09:30 I'm taking none, zero, when I was taking 6-8 a day. 09:35 My blood pressure medication has been reduced, 09:38 and several of my tests are definitely 09:41 moving in the big direction that I wanted, 09:43 it... even... some of them have dramatically decreased. 09:48 I actually did the calculations, 09:49 cause I just got the tests today, but 09:51 one of the areas in 09:53 triglycerides when down 77 percent 09:55 from when I started it two weeks, so 09:58 I was pretty pleased. 09:59 That's incredible. That's incredible. 10:02 Well Rick, I want to thank you for 10:04 coming on the set with us, and giving us your testimony 10:08 and hopefully inspiring someone out there. 10:10 - I hope so. - Thank you so much. 10:11 - Thanks you. - God Bless you. 10:14 And folks thank you for joining us, 10:15 but don't go away, Dr. DeRose 10:17 will be with us in just a moment. 10:20 Well, you've done very well. 10:29 Do you have diabetes, 10:30 heart disease, high blood pressure, 10:32 or do you weigh too much? 10:35 Hi, my name is Dr. Ing, and I'd like to tell you 10:37 about our 18-day NEWSTART lifestyle program. 10:41 It includes a comprehensive medical evaluation 10:44 with laboratory studies and an exercise stress test, 10:48 physician consultations, 10:50 culinary school, 10:52 and an opportunity to walk on beautiful trails 10:55 in the foothills of the Sierras. 10:59 Your health is one of the most 11:00 important things that you have. Don't wait. 11:03 Give us a call at: 11:07 Or visit our website: 11:27 Welcome back friends, and in our studio... 11:29 Dr. DeRose, How are you sir? 11:32 It's always good to see you. 11:33 Good to be here with you Ron. 11:35 Yes, and I want to talk about 11:36 this particular individual because 11:39 you know, 11:40 when he told me that he 11:42 couldn't even lift his hands this much 11:45 to hug his wife or whoever-- his children, 11:49 and now he's got most of his mobility back. 11:53 What's going on? I've never heard of this. 11:56 Well I mean as Rick shared his story 11:59 his situation was really befuddling, I mean it 12:04 It perplexed the neurologist, 12:06 it perplexed the other doctors he saw. 12:08 And I'm not going to tell you he showed up 12:10 here at NEWSTART and I looked at him, and 12:12 I said-- - No don't say that! 12:16 and all of a sudden a couple of visits and he was healed! 12:19 No I know you're not going to say that. 12:20 Yeah, and I didn't-- to be 12:22 honest with you the diagnosis was 12:23 perplexing to me as well. I mean I'm 12:25 trained as an internal medicine specialist, 12:26 I also have my boards in preventive medicine. 12:29 And general internists we're trained to question things, 12:32 to analyze things, to try to 12:33 turn over every stone, so 12:35 we even looked at a number of 12:38 other conditions other possibilities. 12:40 And like Rick shared, 12:41 a couple of the things we looked at 12:43 are two vitamins that can affect nerve and 12:46 muscle function, vitamin D and vitamin B12. 12:49 I'm not going to say that was the whole problem. 12:52 - You just don't know. 12:53 Yeah, so there was a lot going on, and 12:56 the interesting thing I've found over the years Ron, 12:59 is the Lord lays our pride in the dust 13:01 even as physicians. You know as a profession 13:04 we don't have the best reputation 13:06 for being humble mild mannered folks! 13:09 - No...! - Really! 13:10 And when you're working with the Lord though 13:13 I mean he does this to you! I mean he sends 13:15 people like Rick, and I don't walk out saying, 13:18 Hey I'm the genius doctor, 13:19 you know, no one else could figure it out! 13:22 You know, I'm like the rest of them, 13:23 saying you know we've got all these pieces in the puzzle, 13:26 they don't fit completely. 13:28 And the Lord did help us find some things 13:30 that were obvious that could be treated or could be fine tuned. 13:34 But often what happens Ron, in these situations where 13:37 people have difficult problems that are perplexing physicians, 13:40 we say, Look 13:42 the Lord has given us enough wisdom 13:44 about how the body works. 13:45 We're just going to help this person 13:48 if nothing else, get on an optimum lifestyle. 13:51 And it's amazing to me, because over 13:53 the years I've seen this many times, 13:55 where I may not know exactly what the patient needs, 13:59 but by God's grace He's given us 14:01 an experience in places like Weimar 14:04 where we say, Look we know these 14:05 things from the Bible, from science. 14:07 These are healing principles whether it's the water drinking, 14:10 the exercise, the water, the diet. 14:12 We're going to help the 14:14 person get on that kind of program. 14:16 And the Lord seems to add sometimes just 14:17 really supernatural blessings to that whole process. 14:20 And I've seen that time and time again, 14:23 I think of an individual like him 14:25 and other people that I've interviewed, 14:27 Where they've been all over the country getting 14:31 tests, and this and that, 14:33 and nobody could figure anything out. 14:35 And they come here to a 14:37 little country place in the hills 14:39 in California, 14:41 and they see a physician that with the Lord's grace, 14:46 and you said it, one thing we do 14:48 have here in God is alive and well 14:50 and working on all of us. 14:52 And not just the guests that come here, I think 14:55 I see visually 14:57 from day to day how he works on the 15:00 doctors how he works on the staff, 15:03 and what a blessing. 15:05 Oh, no, and it's incredible, 15:06 and I think that's what many people throughout medical lines 15:10 are starting to realize has been missing in 15:12 the Western medical system, and this is not just 15:14 a Christian phenomena, you talk with 15:16 people who are atheist, and agnostic, 15:18 And they're talking about restoring 15:20 the human element to medical care. 15:23 They're speaking about spiritual health and whole person health, 15:27 and holism, and you hear these kind of words. 15:29 And then you go to the national institutes 15:31 of health and you start looking at their data, 15:34 and they're saying, Americans are saying, We're basically 15:37 tired with just using conventional medical approaches. 15:41 More and more people, 15:42 the vast majority of Americans today 15:43 are using what are labeled 15:45 complimentary and alternative medical approaches. 15:48 So people are saying, Look 15:49 it's not just the pills, 15:50 it's not just the high-tech diagnosis. 15:52 We're not minimizing 15:54 the fact that these things can be valuable, 15:56 but it's clearly not the whole picture. 15:59 Now I have to ask you this because 16:01 it's rare that I hear one of our guests say 16:04 that the doctor gave me a shot of B12 or D or whatever. 16:08 We don't generally, is it fair to say, 16:12 treat our guests with 16:14 nutritional supplements? 16:17 Well, the focus here at Weimar 16:19 the NEWSTART program is a lifestyle program. 16:22 So we're trying to help them get on a better lifestyle. 16:25 At the same time I have an obligation as a physician 16:28 to help my patients 16:30 make as much progress as quickly as they can. 16:32 And B12 is a great example. 16:34 If someone comes in with a very low B12 level, 16:38 or a level that's low enough to be causing symptoms, 16:42 there's no reason for us to say, Look, you can gradually 16:45 you know, improve this over months 16:48 by taking an oral supplement, 16:49 when we can give an injection, 16:52 and rapidly raise that B12 level. 16:54 So really, if something needs 16:57 I mean you're right, it's unusual, 16:59 we're not giving a lot of shots here. 17:01 But if someone can benefit 17:03 from an injection, usually-- I don't 17:05 remember exactly the dialog that I had with Rick. 17:08 But I'll often talk with the patient about it, I'm not 17:10 I don't say, you know, You stay 17:12 here we're going to give you a shot. 17:13 But I explain 17:15 what I'm thinking, and if they want the shot, 17:17 you know, we'd give them the shot. 17:19 If a person said, You know what, I hate shots, 17:21 I can't stand needles, 17:23 I just want to take oral, even if it takes 17:24 longer-- I mean I'm going to respect that. 17:26 - Right. 17:27 Now during our blood draws, 17:29 which everyone goes through, 17:31 most everyone except for maybe that 17:33 individual that says I can't stand needles. 17:36 Do we check for B12 and D deficiencies? 17:40 We do a general broad panel that looks-- 17:42 - Which includes those? 17:44 It actually does not include. The standard panel 17:46 we do does not include vitamin B12 and vitamin D. 17:49 For example if someone comes in 17:52 and I don't have any questions about their vitamin D status, 17:55 they live in a more southern 17:56 place in the United States, 17:58 that may not seem so pressing, 18:00 and we probably wouldn't measure that. 18:03 It's because of you're knowledge, 18:04 you're instinctiveness was it? 18:06 Yeah, I mean it is basically, it's a clinical judgment. 18:09 What we've tried to do Ron is 18:12 even though someone might look at the price of a program here, 18:14 they might say, Well that's you know 18:16 costs, you know it's some investment to come here, 18:19 we've tried to keep that price, 18:21 as low as possible. 18:22 And if someone really does the math, 18:24 we have business people that come all the time here, 18:25 they say, You know what, 18:27 I don't know how you're 18:28 delivering this much in the way of services 18:31 for the kind of price you're paying-- 18:33 the kind of price I'm paying as a patient. 18:35 And really we've got a group of staff 18:38 here who could be making a lot more money 18:41 in other settings. 18:42 This is not a place where people come to work to get rich. 18:44 - Right. 18:45 And so we're working to discount the 18:47 professional staff, the whole team, 18:49 and we're able then 18:51 to offer programs much more cost effective. 18:54 How this ties in with the lab work, 18:56 We try to do a fairly comprehensive 18:58 lab panel when people come in, 19:00 but that's got to be included in the price of the program. 19:03 So we don't just run every single 19:05 test in the book when we draw that blood, 19:08 but we do as physicians, when we see 19:12 individual patients we say, Look 19:14 we might-- we think you would 19:15 benefit from an extra test or something, 19:18 then that's something that can be added at that point. 19:20 - But you hit the nail right on the head here. 19:23 You hit the nail right on the head 19:25 when you said, 19:26 Let's check the B12, lets check the D 19:29 and he was low in both, 19:30 and you've given him shots now, 19:33 and maybe that's attributed to this turnaround, I don't know. 19:37 Well, I mean the Lord works through natural law, 19:41 but he also works supernaturally. 19:43 And so you know, we pray 19:44 that God would guide us, as I pray with the patients, 19:47 I'm praying that God would guide us collectively. 19:49 I typically, 19:51 you know I'm asking, If we're 19:52 missing something Lord, direct us to that. 19:54 So we look at this as a partnership. 19:56 I'm sure glad that it 19:58 doesn't all rest on my shoulders, 20:00 there's a great Physician who's active here at Weimar 20:03 and we have the privilege of cooperating with Him. 20:05 Amen. 20:06 Now what else? Rick-- 20:09 it's really exciting to see him change. 20:12 What else can you tell us that he's gone through here? 20:15 Well you know, I think one of the other 20:17 things that he mentioned 20:18 that's very powerful is the water... 20:20 hydration. 20:22 You know, a lot of people 20:24 sometimes look at these simple remedies and they say-- 20:26 In fact I'll tell you some years ago I had a patient 20:29 where I shared with him a simple remedy, 20:32 and I didn't know it at the time, 20:33 but he basically after I left the room 20:36 I mean he said you know, 20:37 What kind of a stupid thing is that? 20:39 I've got all these problems-- 20:41 - And he wants me to drink water! 20:42 - Yeah, how is this going to help me? 20:44 You know often these things look so simple 20:46 but they're powerful. 20:47 And it's really just helping us 20:49 to restore our physiology, bringing our 20:52 physiology back in harmony with natural law, 20:55 and this allows 20:56 to cooperate with God in the healing process. 20:59 Instead of praying-- I mean it's crazy Ron, 21:02 but there are millions of Christians 21:04 today who are praying for God's healing, 21:06 and then they're living in such a way 21:08 that they're undermining their health. 21:10 It doesn't make any sense! 21:12 - It doesn't make any sense at all. 21:14 Well that's about it for now, we're running out of time. 21:17 I want to thank you for coming into the studio 21:20 it's always a pleasure to chat with you. 21:22 Great to be with you Ron. 21:23 And friends thank you, but don't go 21:25 away-- we have an important message for you. 21:41 Welcome to NEWSTART AT HOME. 21:43 I'm your host today, Dr. David DeRose, 21:46 and with me registered dietician Hildelisa Flickinger. 21:49 Hildelisa it's great to have you with us today. 21:52 Thank you, glad to be here. 21:53 Hildelisa people today as we've talked about in past broadcasts 21:58 really have concerns many of them with putting on weight. 22:02 Is this as big a problem as many people think it is? 22:05 Definitely, we have an 22:06 obesity crisis in our country today 22:09 and in light of that 22:10 there's no shortage of diets is there? 22:13 No there's not, and what 22:15 we're really trying to do today is 22:17 look at something really practical that 22:19 someone could do just in a few minutes if they can 22:22 catch an idea of this 22:23 so called volumetrics concept, 22:27 we believe it can make a big difference. 22:29 What is this talk about volumetrics? 22:32 Well that is from a study from Penn State University 22:36 and it taps into a concept that I believe the 22:39 NEWSTART here at Weimar Center for Health and Education 22:43 have known for years 22:44 and that is, that if you eat foods that are 22:47 less in energy density 22:50 you'll lose weight. 22:52 Ok, so energy density 22:54 refers then to the amount of 22:56 calories in a given volume of food, is that right? 23:00 Exactly, so if you fill your plate up 23:02 with these foods you'll be eating more foods 23:04 but eating less calories. 23:06 Ok, so we don't have to say, 23:08 Push yourself away from the table, 23:10 don't eat, fast. 23:12 But we can say, Eat the right foods. 23:13 Eat foods that fill you up, 23:14 but don't give you a lot of calories. 23:16 Exactly, and what do you think those 23:18 foods that are low in energy density are? 23:21 Well, I mean the first thing that comes 23:23 to my mind Hildelisa is iceberg lettuce. 23:25 I mean that's a lot of food there, but 23:27 not many calories are there? 23:29 Definitely, so that would be 23:31 foods, plant based foods like the fruits 23:34 and the vegetables, and the whole grains. 23:37 So if you eat these foods you can 23:38 eat more foods and less calories. 23:41 Now what's more is that these plant based 23:44 foods are going to prevent chronic diseases, 23:47 and they're going to keep your weight down. 23:50 Now-- 23:52 Hildelisa, yeah one of the 23:53 questions is that, we're talking about 23:55 really getting these foods that 23:56 have fewer calories in them, but... 23:59 couldn't someone say, Well can't I eat less 24:03 of the foods with more calories? They say, 24:05 I like my hamburgers and milk shakes and French fries. 24:07 Well the principle is that 24:09 foods that are high in water content 24:12 and fiber content, those are the things that 24:14 are going to fill you up so you'll eat less. 24:17 For example fruits--they are 80 to 95 24:19 percent water, fruits and vegetables, 24:22 and hard grains are 85 percent water, 24:25 and soups they can be up to 95 percent water. 24:28 - Wow. 24:29 So they fill you up, 24:31 but they don't give you a lot of calories. 24:32 Right. Now do you suppose that if you just 24:35 drink a big glass of water with your hamburger, 24:38 would that work? 24:39 Well I'm not going to eat a 24:41 hamburger Hildelisa, don't worry! 24:42 But tell us, is that a 24:43 solution if someone wants to say, 24:45 I'll have 80 percent water and eat the burger and fries? 24:48 No that won't work. The water has 24:50 to be in the food in order to work. 24:53 - And why is that? 24:54 Well because that's how 24:56 you're going to fill up, and... yes. 24:58 Now-- and the food is going to have less calories whereas if 25:01 you eat the hamburger even 25:03 though you have the glass of water, 25:05 you're going to eat all the 25:06 calories in that hamburger for example. 25:09 Now lets just visualize what we're talking about... 25:12 I have here 25:14 a hundred calories of raisins or dried grapes, 25:17 it's about less than a quarter cup. 25:19 and a hundred calories of grapes, 25:21 it's about a little less than two cups. 25:24 Now which one would you rather eat? 25:26 Now are you telling me there are the 25:27 same number of calories in each of those? 25:29 Exactly. 25:30 Well if I'm wanting to fill up with less calories, 25:33 I'm going to choose the grapes. 25:35 Definitely, that is going to fill you up, 25:39 and give you the same amount of calories but 25:41 it's so easy to eat this amount of raisins, 25:44 whether-- whereas the grapes will definitely fill you up. 25:48 So we're not saying the raisins are not a healthy snack, 25:51 but they are a problem when it comes to giving 25:54 you lots of calories in a small amount of volume. 25:56 When you're trying to watch your weight, yes. 25:58 Now pasta, and... 26:01 bread, Italian bread, they have similar ingredients, 26:04 but if you think about it, but if you think about 26:06 it the pasta absorbs the water that it's cooked in, 26:08 so it's going to be half as energy dense as the bread. 26:12 So that's the concept that we're talking about. 26:15 The drier the food the more calories. 26:17 Hildelisa, I mean this is great information. 26:19 Hopefully you've learned some 26:21 things today that can make a difference 26:23 as far as helping you trim a few of those 26:24 additional pounds that you're trying to get rid of. 26:27 I'm Dr. David DeRose, letting you 26:28 know that if you want more information 26:30 go to our website: 26:42 Modern views of evolution stem all the way back 26:44 to theories developed in the mid-1800s. 26:47 Out of the same time period came ideas that shape 26:51 our educational system today. 26:53 The Common School Movement, for example, 26:56 saw schools more like a factory, 26:58 with students blindly memorizing instruction 27:01 rather than thinking for themselves. 27:03 Their curriculum was rigid and theoretical. 27:06 Instead of being flexible and practical, 27:09 it was designed to conform the individual 27:11 into a specific ideological mold 27:14 that fit the needs of an old industrial era 27:16 long since passed. 27:19 Just like our view of creation in six literal days, 27:23 we believe the Bible contains an educational blueprint 27:27 radically different from the one we see now. 27:43 Well friends that's it for today. 27:44 Thank you for joining us. 27:46 Now I know we have friends and family that 27:50 may need to come to the NEWSTART program. 27:52 So pick up that phone and give us a call at: 28:03 Have a great day and may God bless. |
