Welcome to Mosquito Bites Mysteries with Jeff Dixon, where we peel back layers of Florida’s past to reveal astonishing secrets. This week, we introduce you to a man whose statue stands proudly in the U.S. Capitol, yet almost no one knows his name: Dr. John Gorrie. An Apalachicola physician, Gorrie invented a machine that could have revolutionized healthcare and comfort in the 1800s – the ice maker! So why was this visionary ridiculed as a “crank,” driven to poverty, and largely forgotten? Explore the twisted tale of medical breakthrough, relentless mockery, and a powerful industry’s chilling campaign to silence a genius. This episode isn’t just about a lost invention; it’s a profound look at what truly defines greatness, the perils of being ahead of your time, and the spiritual satisfaction of a life dedicated to good.

Welcome to the Carpenter Shop, where we grow together in the likeness of Jesus! In this powerful session, we dive into Paul’s teaching on the Armor of God from Ephesians, uncovering its crucial, often-overlooked conclusion: prayer. It’s not just a part of the armor; it’s how you put it on, how you anchor it, and how you breathe life into your spiritual walk. Discover why prayer is as essential for your spirit as breathing is for your body—the divine inhale and exhale that connects you intimately with God and unleashes true freedom.

We don’t see life as it is – we see it through the lenses we wear
Some wear cracked, dirty, or distorted lenses and see everything through the fog of defeat, fear, or regret
Healthy people wear lenses of promise, where they see everything with faith, hope and trust in God
The difference isn’t the scenery – it is the clarity and the condition of the lenses
What kind of SHADES are you wearing?

Today is the final installment in our series “Shades” – Together we have made a lot of discoveries and have been challenged to rethink HOW we see things in our world. We even got a bonus session last where we talked about the Greatest Homecoming. Today we go to a very familiar and often quoted verse. This verse is often quoted in times of struggle, but let’s unpack it to really understand how it can transform our hopelessness into hopefulness. What you are getting ready to see, yes – really see is that the verse that gives us the prescription of how to view the world because it helps us understand how God sees it
