JESUS: A Deaf Missions Film Review & Giveaway

Many thanks to Deaf Missions for providing a sample of this film for review. My opinions are 100% my own.

From the day of Pentecost, Christian apostles have proclaimed the Gospel’s good news to all who would receive the message. Filled with what is said to be both the Holy Spirit and humanity’s saving graces, a heretical message spoken in all languages, is that whoever walks away from their humanistic experiences, believing in Jesus Christ, shall be saved. Some, however, weren’t convinced.

Despite their spiritual teachings in Acts 2:13, “They’re signing like they’re drunk,” some followers would not, and could not, hear the intended message-especially those within the Deaf community. Conveying the good news to not only the masses but the Deaf community in American Sign Language.

In JESUS: A Deaf Missions Film, staring Gideon Firl as Jesus Christ, of Nazareth, Miles Barbee as Simon Peter, Ryan Schlecht as Caiaphas, Joseph Pfaff as Pontius Pilate, Yamila Davis as Mary Magdalene, Heba Toulan as Mary, Mother of Jesus, and Hector R.J. Reynoso as Joseph of Arimathea, directed by Joseph Josselyn, with Deaf Missions, a Christian ministry seeking to evangelize to the “Roughly 98% of the worldwide population of Deaf citizens that have “never encountered the real Jesus,” according to the ministry’s website mission statement.

Along with a score and other standard sound effects, this theatrical release is portrayed in American Sign Language, standardizing the life of Jesus, practically and understandably. Featuring a deaf ensemble, direction, and production sharing both ASL and subtitles, shares the Gospel of Jesus Christ, in new and intelligible ways. Offering audiences a new take on the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus in a way that is faithful to the faith’s central text. Depicting Jesus Christ, both the living God, in the flesh, and as a compassionate, centrist humanist.

Likewise, the Christian disciples, including Mary Magdeline, and Jesus Christ’s mother, Mary, are portrayed in equal measure. Their various male counterparts share their respective personalities including Peter, who despite his humanistic failings, finds his faith, and Thomas’ famous foibles, who view the centrist story of Jesus, whose spiritual community grows in faith through His work.

Despite many of Christ’s teachings not being portrayed, his central message remains the same poignant and moving portrayal of His four gospel accounts, including the first two chapters of the book of Acts, and Jesus performing many known miracles-healing the sick, walking on water, calming the sea, forgiving sin, rising from the dead, and bringing justification to those believing- in Him.

Audiences will share an inside perspective on the leadership of the high priest, Caiaphas, the inner workings of the Pharisees, the common people recognizing the Messiah, including Nicodemus, and the foreshadowing of Christ’s atonement.

Despite, time constraints and translational issues between American Sign Language and English, Jesus delivers a stellar performance and close theatrical translation of Christian text. With only a few instances differing from stricture when Jesus is confronted by a wealthy young ruler (Luke 18:18-30), the film skips the reference to Christ as a “good teacher,” a misdirect from Jesus’ conversation with Nicodemus (John 3:6), regarding the spirit being born to be in the flesh. With special attention being added to the following scripture: Matthew 14:22-33, Mark 16:1-8, Luke 1:26-38, 8:1-3, John 1:41-51, and Acts 1:8-9.

Keeping in mind the film’s depiction of Christ’s crucifixion, including the flogging and beating by the Romans, tearing hooks into Jesus’ skin, open wounds covered in blood, the hammered application of nails, a crown of thorns upon His head, and being spat upon by the Jewish Pharisees. As well as the depiction of Christ’s risen’s ascension, the remnants of the crucifixion, with the wounds on Christ’s wrists, used to convince the doubting apostle, Thomas. As well as the regrets of a fallen apostle, Judas, Peter cutting off a man’s ear, and Mary Magdalene, possessed by numerous demons, chews on shards of pottery, until Jesus rebukes, said demons.

JESUS: A Deaf Missions Film provides audiences with a unique and uplifting take on the teaching and resurrection by way of the Gospel of Jesus Christ that will uplift audiences, within the Deaf community and otherwise this season in theatres. Impacting the movie’s central theme of hope through the film’s spirited direction and talented ensemble cast, in theaters June 20 and 23rd, 2024.

How Doomscrolling Can Destroy Your Productivity

Image Source

Nowadays, the world is just so hyper-connected; while sure, even a decade ago, the world was super connected thanks to the internet being wider within the world, and even with smartphones being more common now than ever before, it’s really easy to see why. Sure, there are plenty of benefits, but the thing is, there are more than enough disadvantages, too. Actually, it’s easy to get sucked into the digital vortex of endless information.

Of course, while staying informed is important, there’s a darker side to our online habits that can sneak up on us—doomscrolling. This term might sound ominous (and it is), but it’s all for a good reason. It’s coming up on the news and in articles more on how this is bad for your overall mental health (something that’ll be covered here). But it still goes beyond that, too. So, with that said, here’s the impact on productivity and what you can do to kick the habit.

What Is Doomscrolling?

So again, this has come up in the media a lot, but what exactly is this? It’s just scrolling on your phone, right? Well, doomscrolling refers to the act of continuously scrolling through negative news stories and social media feeds, often without realizing how much time has passed.

This habit can be especially prevalent during times of crisis (like what was happening during the pandemic) or uncertainty, like during a global pandemic (COVID or beyond), political unrest (like elections), or natural disasters. The constant flood of bad news can be overwhelming, yet we cannot look away.

Sometimes, it just might be hard, too, because algorithms keep feeding you content —things you might not even want to engage with in the first place. It’s like watching a car crash in slow motion—horrifying, yet we can’t seem to turn our eyes away.

But it’s not just doom-scrolling, either. Constantly having the news on, like CNN (something that a lot of elderly people do), tends to have a bad impact as well.

How Doom Scrolling Affects Mental Health

Before brushing up on how it affects productivity, it’s best to first go over how it affects mental health because they’re so intertwined.

Anxiety Will Increase

Now, you have to understand that reading about negative events continuously can heighten feelings of anxiety and stress. Our brains are wired to respond to threats, and consuming alarming news can trigger a stress response, leaving us in a constant state of unease.

You’ll Feel Hopeless

When you’re bombarded with negative news, it’s easy to feel like the world is spiraling out of control. Honestly, it’s all really scary too! This can lead to a sense of helplessness and hopelessness. It’s really a shame because it makes you feel like there’s nothing we can do to make a difference.

How Can This Directly Impact Productivity?

So, like what was said just right about, if something affects your mental health, it’s going to immediately affect your productivity as well.

It Diverts Attention

A lot of people are guilty of being addicted to their phones; after all, you get a small release of dopamine from those notifications. But is that all? Well, you have to keep in mind that constantly checking news and social media can be incredibly distracting. Every time you pick up your phone to check the latest headlines, you’re diverting your focus away from tasks that need your attention. This constant switching can make it hard to concentrate on your work.

It Reduces Motivation

Do you know how it was mentioned that you’d feel hopeless because the world is crumbling, or do you feel like you’re not enough? Well, this is going to kill motivation, which in turn kills productivity. When you’re feeling down about the state of the world, it’s challenging to muster the energy and enthusiasm needed to tackle your tasks.

It Might Be Harder to Make Decisions

So this is one that surprises a lot of people, but high levels of stress and anxiety can impair our cognitive functions, including decision-making. When our minds are clouded with worry, it’s harder to think clearly and make sound decisions, which can affect both personal and professional aspects of life. Honestly, it’s the furthest thing from ideal since your whole judgment gets clouded.

What Can You Do to Stop Doomscrolling

Again, this is really bad, and the last thing you want to do is destroy your productivity. It doesn’t matter if this productivity involves your career, academic career, or even unpaid labor around the house. It needs to be taken seriously.

You Need to Set Boundaries for Screen Time

It’s going to be a really good idea to just go ahead and establish specific times for checking news and social media and stick to them. Now, this might be a mental challenge at first, but it’s going to be a really good idea to go ahead and start avoiding looking at your phone first thing in the morning or right before bed. But if the temptation is just way too strong, then it’s best just to use apps or built-in features on your phone to limit screen time and set reminders to take breaks.

You Need to Engage in Positive Activities

It’s totally fine to use your phone during your free time, like your breaks. But the problem is scrolling. So, you’re better off looking into other apps and websites to use on your phone instead. For example, why not start doing crossword puzzles on your phone?

How about playing video games on your phone? You’d be surprised about some of the long RPG games that phones can now play. You can even read books or chit-chat with people. But just trying to avoid news, social media, and even websites like Reddit should be ideally avoided, too.

Focus On What You Can Control

This goes back to that helplessness feeling. While yes, we can’t control the world, none of us can, but you don’t have to think all hope is loss. So, instead of dwelling on negative news, focus on actions you can take to improve your situation. Whether it’s volunteering, advocating for a cause, or simply being kind to others, taking positive actions can help you feel more empowered and less helpless. You might not be able to change the world, but you can change the world of one person, and that alone is incredible.

3 Proven Strategies for Securing Admission to Your Desired Course

Applying to college or graduate school can be a stressful process. With acceptance rates lower than ever at many top universities, it’s important to stand out from the crowd and prove you are a strong candidate who will thrive in your chosen program. Fortunately, there are proven strategies you can use to boost your chances of admission success. In this article, we’ll explore three key tips for putting your best foot forward and securing a spot in your dream program.

Crafting an Impactful Statement of Purpose

Your statement of purpose sometimes called a personal statement, is one of the most important parts of your application. Admissions committees want to understand why you are applying to their program, how your background has prepared you, and what unique perspectives you will bring to the classroom. Follow these guidelines on how to write a statement of purpose that makes an impression:

Reflect on your motivations and goals for pursuing this degree. Convey your enthusiasm and fit for the program. Admissions officers want to admit students who are passionate about their field of study.
Highlight relevant skills and experience. Connect the dots between your accomplishments and how they have equipped you for advanced study in your chosen discipline. Quantify results when possible.
Let your personality shine. Share an anecdote or detail that brings your application to life. You want to stand out as an individual.
Explain weaknesses in your candidacy. If your GPA is low, briefly address this. Show you have the capability to excel despite past struggles.
Tailor your statement for each school. Research and incorporate details on each program to show your interest. Avoid vague, generic statements that could apply to any school.

The statement of purpose is your chance to showcase your qualifications and make a compelling case for why you belong in the program. Take time to craft an engaging, thoughtful essay that brings together the different pieces of your background. This could be what tips the scales in your favor.

Standing Out Through Recommendations

Recommendation letters offer crucial third-party support. Aim to get letters from professors or supervisors who know you well. Tips:

Ask early and give them at least a month.
Provide resources like your resume to make their job easier.
Follow up politely before deadlines and send thank you notes.

Enthusiastic recommendations lend tremendous credibility to your application. They can shore up weaker areas.

Acing the Admissions Interview

For some programs, the interview heavily influences decisions. Come prepared to showcase your value. Tips:

Research your interviewers and tailor your responses.
Practice answering common questions aloud.
Prepare stories/examples that illustrate your qualifications.
Dress professionally and arrive early.
Send a thank you email highlighting something that resonated.

Use the interview to connect on a human level and demonstrate your fit.

By following these research-backed strategies, you can put your best foot forward in applying to your desired course. Admissions committees want to see you are prepared, passionate, and ready to contribute at a high level. Focus on presenting a compelling, well-rounded case through your materials, and you will maximize your chances of acceptance.

Take Better Care of Your Brain

Photo Source

Have you ever had one of those days when you feel like your brain’s been replaced by a potato? Or when you can’t remember why you walked into a room? Yeah, we’ve all been there. Your brain is the VIP of your body, orchestrating everything from blinking to solving complex problems like whether to have pizza or sushi. So, it’s only fair to give it the TLC it deserves. Here’s your simple guide to keeping your brain in tip-top shape.

Feed Your Brain the Good Stuff

Your brain is a big deal, so feed it like one. Start with omega-3 fatty acids, which are like luxury fuel for your brain. You’ll find them in foods like fish, walnuts, and flaxseeds. Then there are antioxidants—these are the brain’s personal bodyguards, fighting off damage from free radicals. Pack your plate with berries, leafy greens, and nuts. And don’t forget whole grains! They’re like slow-burning logs that keep the brain fires burning smoothly. Eating right isn’t just good for your jeans size; it’s great for your brain size (well, brain health, but you get the idea).

Get Moving and Grooving

Exercise isn’t just for building biceps or annoying your sedentary friends. It’s also crucial for a healthy brain. When you get moving, your brain pumps out endorphins, which are happy hormones having a PhD in mood improvement. Regular exercise helps in maintaining cognitive function and reduces the risk of disorders such as dementia and depression. So lace up those sneakers and get your heart rate up. Your brain will thank you with enhanced memory and focus, plus a flood of good vibes.

Sudoku: Not Just for Waiting Rooms

Sudoku, the number game loved and feared by millions, isn’t just a way to kill time while waiting for your dentist appointment. It’s a mental workout. Think of it as a cross-trainer for your cognitive functions. Engaging in Sudoku challenges your brain to think strategically and solve problems, keeping your mind sharp and your problem-solving skills on point. Plus, the thrill of victory when you place that final number is pretty sweet.

Sleep On It

If you treat sleep like a luxury rather than a necessity, it’s time for a wake-up call (ironically). Sleep is crucial for brain health. It’s like hitting the reset button for your brain, clearing out the junk, and repairing any damage from the day. Lack of sleep can muddle your thinking and critically diminish your verbal prowess (ever tried to sound smart on two hours of sleep? It’s not pretty). Aim for 7-9 hours per night to give your brain the restorative break it needs.

Train Your Brain

Your brain needs a good workout routine just like the rest of your body. So, apart from Sudoku, try to engage in activities that push your cognitive abilities at least once a day. Learn a new language, pick up a musical instrument, or dive into puzzles and brain teasers. Each of these activities stimulates neural connections and can even forge new pathways. They say you can’t teach an old dog new tricks, but luckily, you’re not a dog, and your brain loves new tricks.

Stay Socially Connected

Isolation is the brain’s biggest enemy. So, it is fair to say that staying socially active isn’t just good fun—it’s essential for your mental health too. Interacting with others boosts your mood and keeps your brain engaged in the best possible way. Regular social interactions can help ward off depression and stress, both of which can take a toll on brain health, and affect things like your memory as well as your feelings. So go ahead, make plans with a friend, join a club, or start a new conversation with someone interesting on social media. Your brain craves the stimulation!

Laugh Often

Never underestimate the power of laughter for your body and mind—it’s a potent medicine. It engages multiple regions across the whole brain and can boost creativity and learning ability. Watch a funny movie, joke around with friends, or go to a comedy show. Laughing reduces stress hormones, which helps keep the brain healthy. As they say, laugh and the world laughs with you; snore and you sleep alone.

Taking care of your brain is so very essential, and it doesn’t have to be a chore. With these fun and effective strategies, you can improve your brain health, enhance cognitive function, and maybe even outsmart your smartphone. Now, that would be a sight to see!

Friends, how do you plan to take better care of your brain at home this summer? Leave your thoughts in the comments below.

5 Proven Techniques for Inner Calm

With endless responsibilities and distractions around us, it’s easy for inner turmoil to build up. Practicing techniques to calm the mind and soothe the soul is vital for well-being. Read on for five proven methods to discover your inner tranquillity.

Visit a Functional Medicine Practitioner

Seeing a functional medicine practitioner like those at Urban Wellness can be enormously beneficial for balancing the body and mind. Functional medicine looks at health holistically, considering how all systems in the body are interconnected. A functional nutritionist aims to get to the root causes of imbalances rather than treating symptoms. They may use lab tests to assess your biochemistry and nutrient levels, checking for deficiencies or dysfunction. Tailored nutritional and lifestyle changes are then recommended to restore optimal well-being. Visiting a functional medicine practitioner allows you to take control of your health and find harmony from within.

Try Breathwork

Conscious breathing exercises, known as breathwork, are a simple yet powerful way to find calm. Deep belly breathing activates the parasympathetic nervous system, switching off the fight or flight stress response. Try setting aside 5-10 minutes daily to focus solely on your breath. Inhale deeply through the nose, letting your stomach expand. Exhale slowly out through pursed lips. Repeat this for several minutes while keeping your mind focused on the sensation of breathing. rhythmic nature of mindful breathing brings deep tranquillity.

Practice Yoga

The postures, breathing, and meditation involved in yoga are profoundly calming for both body and mind. Regular yoga practice helps relieve muscle tension and quiets busy thoughts. Flowing through sequences of gentle poses while staying present with each movement induces deep relaxation. Finish yoga sessions with savasana, lying still on your back, to fully integrate the soothing benefits. Even 10-15 minutes of yoga can reset your nervous system to a tranquil state.

Spend Time in Nature

Being surrounded by fresh air, greenery, and sunlight is deeply rejuvenating. Studies show spending time outdoors reduces stress hormones and blood pressure. Go for mindful walks in the park or forest to immerse yourself in the sights, sounds, and smells of the natural world. Let go of any worries for a time, and just be fully present as you wander. Floating along in this meditative, tech-free state will restore your equilibrium.

Keep a Gratitude Journal

Taking a few minutes each day to list things you are grateful for is tremendously uplifting. This straightforward exercise helps reframe challenges in a positive light. Focusing on blessings, big and small, cultivates appreciation and inner peace. Studies show gratitude journaling reduces anxiety, increases happiness, and improves sleep. Set aside time before bed to list five things you’re grateful for from that day. Expressing thanks is soothing for body and soul.

Making time for practices that soothe the mind is essential in our hectic world. From breathwork to seeking functional medicine support, the techniques discussed here provide diverse ways to discover inner stillness. Experiment with several methods to find those that resonate most. With regular practice, you can cultivate lasting inner peace.

Here’s How To Keep Your Mind Healthy In 2024

Are you struggling to keep your mind healthy? If so, then it’s important to think about some of the key factors that can impact your mental health. Here are some of the possibilities we recommend you explore.

Stay Active

First, you should make sure that you are staying active in the long term. If you fail to stay active, then it can hurt your mind as well as your body. This is just about finding a type of exercise that you enjoy and that doesn’t cause you too much pain or stress. One of the best options would be cold water swimming. Research has shown that this benefits the body as well as the mind.

Train Your Mind

Next, you could think about taking steps to train your mind. There are lots of options that are worth exploring here. For instance, you might consider playing a game like Solitaire. Believe it or not, even a simple activity like this could be a great choice that will help keep your mind active in the long term. This is just one of the possibilities but the trick is not to have too much ideal downtime in your life. Research shows that if you spend too much time idle then you’re more likely to suffer from issues with cognitive decline in the future.

Avoid Too Much Downtime

Another issue worth thinking about is downtime. This can be something of a balancing act as you do need to make sure that you are getting enough time to relax and unwind at the end of each day. However, that doesn’t mean you should spend your entire time draped over a couch. There are lots of ways that you can avoid downtime. For instance, you might want to think about setting up a few different tasks for yourself every day. This is a great way to ensure you’re keeping your mind as focused as possible.

Get Plenty Of Sleep

Next, you should be getting plenty of sleep every day. If you don’t get enough sleep, then you are under more stress because sleep is the way your body recharges. There are lots of things that can stop you from getting the right level of sleep. This could be as simple as an issue with your sleep environment and that’s a problem that’s easily corrected. For instance, you might want to think about upgrading your mattress.

Get Checked

You could also think about getting checked out for health issues. People often believe that you should only speak to a therapist if you are experiencing trauma right now. In reality, this isn’t the case. Indeed, you might find that there are some issues deep underneath the surface that you need to deal with. This could include things like bullying or other psychological issues related to your childhood. If you are worried about this, then we recommend that you explore getting some support through counseling sessions.

Eat Well

Next, you should make sure that you are eating well. You might not realize this but your diet is related to various aspects of your wellbeing including your mental health. Various foods are known to impact your mood as well as your behavior. Chocolate is the most well-known example of this. Chocolate does make you happy when you are eating which can change your mood. However, after this, you can get a drop in mood too and this is something that most people forget. That’s why binge-eating snacks can be so harmful. It’s not just about watching your weight.

Avoid Stress

Another option worth considering would be a home to avoid high levels of stress in your life. There are lots of things that could be making you feel stressed. It’s just a matter of finding the specific triggers that are impacting your life. For instance, it could be an issue with your work life. If that’s the case, then it might be worth thinking about speaking to your boss or manager about how to deal with stress in your life more effectively. This could include creating a schedule so you stay on top of a wide variety of tasks that you need to complete.

Stay In Touch With Nature

Next, you should make sure that you are staying in touch with nature. If you are interested in this possibility then it could be worth researching possibilities like biophilic design. Options like this are great because it means that you can surround yourself with nature at home as well as at work. For instance, you might want to use natural materials when you are decorating your home. You could also embrace the alfresco lifestyle and make sure that you spend as much time outside as possible when you have some extra time on your hands.

Try Meditation

Finally, you may want to think about exploring meditation as a way to relax. By meditating, you can make sure that you control both your body and your mind at the same time. This is also a great way to regulate your breathing and think clearly about some of the challenges that you may currently be experiencing in your life. People often think that meditation is going to be complicated or challenging. However, there are plenty of guides online that will explain how to meditate effectively and unlock some of the best benefits. You can even think about meditating just before bed so you can relax and get the best night possible. This is a great way of combining different health benefits.

We hope this helps you understand the key steps that you should take to ensure that you are keeping your mind healthy and happy in 2024. In doing so, you can avoid some of the major health issues that can develop over time. Remember, even long-term mental health conditions including depression and dementia could be linked to some of the factors that we have mentioned and explored above.
