It might, heck, -check that- it does seem overwhelming at times. But that is the nature of this collectivist strategy. That is the purpose of this “great reset” bombardment. We must hold strong; you must hold strong.
If you look closely at the attacks that unnerve us, most of them are weak, and almost all of them are targeting your psychology. Do not fall into the trap of despair. Step outside of your home right now; look around, do you see any threat – or is the sense of fear and foreboding created by a dark imagining? If the latter, ask yourself, is the psychological attack working simply because you are allowing it?
You have purpose. If you walk into a room, and the people within it respond negatively to your presence, it’s likely because your disposition unnerves their demons. The need for control is a reaction to fear, and you have stopped pretending. As a consequence, you create fear amid those who maintain pretending as a survival mechanism.
When I share the message, “Live your best life”, it is not without purpose. Every moment that we allow the onslaught to deter us from living our dreams, is a moment those who oppose our nation view as us taking a knee. Do not allow this effort to succeed. You might ask yourself how I can, one person, a flea looking into a furnace, retain an optimistic disposition while all around me seems chaotic and mad?
Ultimately, the collective weight of leftism is putting us in isolation. There are many historic references to this disconcerting sentiment to review with hindsight. However, ultimately the feeling of isolation first begins with a rejection of God. Defeat dark imaginings by embracing Him. Stand in the light of a loving and purposeful God. Hold faith, and evil manifest will run away because the dark whispers will fall on impenetrable ears.
Yes, it is true; I will not deny it; all around us is this great sense of foreboding, ugh, and it’s not just connected to you – it’s everywhere. Everything being created by the constructs of those in power is weird; everything created around us is less comfortable; everything created around us is intended to project less joy – and as a consequence, it requires an intensity of thought just to carry on ordinary events. It’s exhausting at times.
Diminished faith creates anxiety, a sense of foreboding, a sense of fear and worry and a sense of trepidation. Additionally, evil tribesmen know the strategy to create the environment for control is isolation.
Isolation, the tool to remove hope, first begins with a diminishment of God. A faith-filled person is never alone.
Throughout history, large armies have been defeated through the process of division. It is not a leap to see the same strategic objectives being deployed against social assemblies with ridicule, labeling, targeting, diminishment. All of it intended to fuel this purposeful division.
Ultimately, it is the currency of human connection that is the true value in our lives. We have each felt how our positive influence upon the lives of others nourishes our own sense of purpose and fulfillment. Do not lose that.
Perhaps we are in this position today because we didn’t sit still enough and contemplate the real priorities in our lives. Fellowship is the essential ingredient to a purposeful life. I fight like hell to keep this website operating, to keep our community discussion ongoing, in the largest part because the assembly is the point. The connection is the most important facet.
On our prayer threads, and within our conversations, families return to see, read and feel the words from those we and they have lost. Do you know the scale of responsibility that comes from hearing the words of a granddaughter who visits CTH every year to read the words of her grandfather who has passed away? Can you imagine how hard you would fight to keep that ability present? We are more than just a conversation!
Perhaps tears flow at times, and we struggle to understand what this unusual anxiety is all about. Then, we begin to struggle with the feelings of shame or guilt for being weak and allowing our humanity to pour out of our human selves. Then, perhaps when needed most, our faith organizations are slow to understand the importance of fellowship and community amid an upheaval that seems unrelenting.
The insufferable lack of regional or national leaders standing tall only makes the anxiety worse. Where ARE the brave?
Where are the purposeful few who know the benefit of larger messages?
Yet, I do not fault their absence; I find value in it. Why, because the void reminds me to stop, look at that face I see while brushing my teeth, and remember the greatest strength of all is from within. Nothing has the capacity to remove the strength provided by a loving God unless we allow it to, unless we allow them to.
As our grip on our familiar surroundings becomes more tenuous. As we face dictates or mandates, or financial pressures that only exacerbate the issues, the ridiculous media drumbeat becomes an incessant noise intent on destabilizing us. Perhaps we cannot quite put our finger on why the impact is worse now, but it is. This effort of theirs is more impactful. It is all ugh. It is all just ugh.
If you find the assembly of these simple words familiar to your current sense, first understand YOU ARE NOT ALONE.
Second, understand there is nothing wrong with you. This blanket of anxiety is laying across our entire nation, indeed the entire world, and no matter where we stand – we are all sensing a various level of this ‘ugh’ with some familiarity. However, that said, it is important to know this is transitional. We will not be in this place long. This too shall pass.
How do we shake these destabilizing feelings and emotions?
♦ The first way we shake this ‘ugh’, is to give to others without reservation. Giving with purpose is the true spirit of human contact. The giving is not related to money or wealth, the giving is related to our human purpose. Perhaps we give a smile. Perhaps we give a kind word. Perhaps we give a compliment, or perhaps we just give time to another.
Giving, is being present – talking, engaging… giving yourself.
Perhaps send an email; or better yet, write an actual penned letter to a dear friend or family member. Or just randomly, like right now, pick up the phone. Reach out and tell them they matter and express why their place in this life of yours is important.
Remind them of your specific thankfulness and connect to the purpose of why we endeavor in this thing we call life.
Years from now, what they will remember, what will have much greater impact, is today. That random message from YOU to THEM that they matter, that they are loved, will not be forgotten.
That moment you create, perhaps those multiple moments provided by your strength, will NEVER be forgotten. And don’t be surprised when you hear, “You have no idea how much I needed to hear that right now. Thank you!”
That look in your eye or sound of your voice that reached into them and emphasized their value, their worth, their importance. That is the gift they will remember in great detail, forever. If you write it down, they will cherish that letter forever and carry it with them in every move of their life.
The important thing is to give, and to do it without any other intent or purpose than to fill their heart.
♦ Within the giving, remind yourself what this journey is all about, and look around to recognize how fortunate we are to have this life. Choose to cherish the ultimate gift from a loving God who wants joy and hope to permeate our human sense.
Hope is the one necessary human element beyond all other facets of life. Give the gift of hope and light to those you love by first reminding yourself of the gift that a loving God has given us all. It is too easy in our human sense to forget the biggest gift we have been granted, the gift of life. The ability to live and choose how we engage in the lives of others.
Remind yourself of His kind of purposeful HOPE, because that hope is pure. That love is perfect.
No politics, or false sense of security, can overwhelm the message of HOPE that a loving God has provided. No effort of man or human disposition can surmount the greatest love of all. The message of grace and faith, the message of the purest truth, is bigger and greater than any great reset or legislative battle.
“No power of hell, nor scheme of man”, can come close to the purpose of God’s intent and love for you as a unique person qualified to receive that love.
Wrap yourself in the blanket of that unconditional love. Stop listening to the dark imagining, the whispers of foreboding.
Pause in the peace of the moment that you can create within your own mind.
Set down your troubles, pray, LISTEN and FEEL.
Love to all,
~ Sundance

Thank you Sundance.
Our greatest weapon is love and fellowship, centered on the Truth of our Creator. I see this over and over. This is not a pie in the sky, hippie like, Kumbaya, warm and fuzzy call
We are strong when we are in pursuit of Truth together. Hard truth. Truth with eyes open to the evil in this world, Truth with the reality that we could be headed toward the worst catastrophe the human world has ever seen.
Genetically we are designed to procreate, and raise children with a mother and father, in a multigenerational community, and a cooperative group of people seeking the best of the family, neighborhood, church. With humility and high regard for the wellbeing of each other. But with the willingness to do whatever it takes to secure the safety.
The components of the strongest family, tribe, guild, clan, profession, nation, church, team, fighting force involves words like: training, discipline, discipleship, submission, mentorship, humility.
Every system that consistently produces high quality human beings for their stated goal, has the same universal components. We are wired genetically to grow synergistically in understanding, commitment, neurochemistry, muscle strength, hand/eye coordination, muscle memory, social memory.
Look at the best systems as confirmed by experience, wisdom of the ages, genetic design, and our best science (of which honest science is currently in danger):
Raising a child
Raising a highly self actualized person
Raising a religious teacher, minister, prophet, messenger
Raising a professional: Mason, physician, engineer, architect, tradesman, musician, artist,
Raising a warrior: Sumarai, Navy SEAL, Delta Force, Special Ops, Marine, Soldier, Sailor, Black belt in any martial arts
Training a patient or person to reach excellence in stewardship of their physical, mental, social, and spiritual health: In diet and fitness and skill
In each system you will find at least some of the commonalities:
A developmental process starting with willingness, submission, inventory of weakness, daily discipline, and carrying the message.
A knowledge base that it boiled down into bite size truths that are taught by continuous repitition and practice
Daily meetings and discipline
Mentors to teach those coming behind, evaluate, give feedback, encourage
Daily contact with peers with whom to learn together
A standard of perfection in an grueling atmosphere of discipline, grace, and encouragement
A very high assignment of value to the individual, and sense of mission in service to others.
Teaching by rote, song, ritual, poetry, example, and practice.
Learning by teaching others
A record of the truths accumulated.
These facts are woven through every system of excellence known to man. It is our life blood. They are universal Truths of our creator.
Our enemy cannot yet keep us from uniting if purposeful fellowship of training and preparation.
Our weapons are to seek truth, confront and expose lies. Confront and expose evil, greed, destructive selfishness.
I believe that those who continue to demonstrate a desire to continue harming us, with no respect to our humanity — social justice may be obtained by eliminating those people if they fail to recognize our inalienable rights.
These are the good old days.
I feel no foreboding, only anger and contempt for this illegal out of control occupational globalist regime.
Amen and AMEN
ALWAYS
FAITH OVER FEAR
With Christ all things are possible
✝️❤️🙏
Whew, I needed that today. Got some really bad news and this gave me the pep talk I needed. Thank you Sundance. You always seem to come through for us when it is needed.
Also, please attend church every Sunday. Maybe you don’t get much out of it anymore and don’t need it. Maybe the preacher isn’t that great and the congregation nothing to write home about. That’s fine. But every time you attend it weakens the enemy. It hurts him.
Sing the hymns as well as you can. Pray earnestly on your knees in the pews. Listen carefully to the sermon. Thank the preacher warmly even if he’s not that great at giving sermons. Chat with others in the congregation. Thank God that you’re there. Etc. Smile on your way to your car because you just stuck your thumb in Satan’s eye and there isn’t anything he can do about it. Repeat once a week.
“For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places.”
Ephesians 6:12
I love that idea, JimmyR.
What a great motto for a revival.
Stick a thumb in satan’s eye. Go to church.
Don’t just go to church…Be the Church!
Nice thought. But the Lutheran church I grew up in, and actually work for to pay my way through college, is now presided over by a lesbian. Sorry, I try to fight the good fight as much as I can but no go here. The elders of this church or rolling over in their graves now. I here, from someone who just quit the janitorial position there, that the parishioners come no more.
There are other churches. Find one.
Todd, if there is not a Bible believing missions minded church near you try live stream services. I have a few to recommend but by far I love Harvest Church in the Memphis area. You can go to harvestmemphis.org click on resources and then live stream. 9:00 AM and 10:45. They also archive sermons. You will hear truth, hope and the love of Christ from their messages.
God Bless you in your search.
Good job Brother, I couldn’t be more delighted or proud to see your progress, You have been weaned on the milk of the word of truth, now dine on the meat of his revelation and let the spirit of truth lead you into a knowledge of all wisdom and spiritual understanding. Remember the one name above all others …Christ Jesus.
Most present-day “Christians” aren’t trustworthy, not in personal relationships, nor in business. They lie, cheat, abandon, sluff off, have temper tantrums, just like pagans. In fact, many are worse, and immature as well.
So…No. gave that up 12 years ago. I would prefer to be with my unsaved friends.
amen. amen. Needed this now. Thanks.
There is coming, once again, those times that will try mens’ souls. Cling to the Rock, or get washed into the sea to be tossed about in the waves and broken.
Thank you, Sundance, I needed to hear (read) that today. Bless
Thank you Sundance.
Thank you, Sundance – I, too, needed this today.
Amen!
Amen Sundance.
God is pure love and we should always keep our focus on Him first and foremost, through our thoughts and actions. Doing so will keep anxiety and fear at bay. This I believe wholeheartedly and do as best I can but when I stumble I reach for God again and He never fails to lift me up – never! For me it’s the most fundamental part of being able to live my best life, especially during trying time like these.
God Bless You!
Thankyou Sundance & team! You are ALL Amazing!
Why do Jewish people keep on supporting Dems/the Left.
Sorry, can’t watch that hate.
Because they have been instructed to hate themselves. It’s not all Jews, frankly, but westernized ones, who have succumbed to the same propaganda that ‘leftist’ Americans have bought into. Remember, just about the entirety of NGO’s, UN, Red Cross, etc., continually promotes the message that Jews are the problem. Sundance’s message here applies to them…or anyone…who believes that the message that they are getting from those in power is legitimate.
The book of Romans has that answer.
Simply because they have rejected that Jesus was the messiah. Therefore they have been living under a curse.
Until the time comes when God will lift the curse and they shall see the truth for the first time.
“Oceans (Where Feet May Fail)” is out now: https://united.lnk.to/ytplaylistID
“And if He is for us, who can stand against us?”
“All things works toward good for those who fear The Lord.”
Remember, all, the ultimate battle has been won. The desperate skirmishes that remain are the training grounds for saints. The Accuser only makes progress against our fellow brothers and sisters if we take our eyes away from The Lord. Be a source of comfort and a morale raiser to all you meet.
And All of my Love to you Sundance! I may be closer to that day when I appear before God’s throne than most of your readers, but I can truthfully say I have lived a life of passion and devotion attempting to live a life that brings the LOVE OF GOD to others. What I appreciate most from you Sundance is the intellectual interpretation and justification you provide for fighting the evil that confronts us and our beloved Country! God Bless You Sundance and THANK YOU! MAGA!
Thank you, Sundance. You are appreciated more than you may ever know. God Bless.
👍💕👍💕👍💕👍💕👍
Sundance, that was wonderful.
Even better was ending it with my absolute favorite YouTube singer, Dan Vasc. That man not only has an incredible voice, he’s also a MAGA fan living in Brazil. Our house loves him.
You sir, are important to me.
In the words of a sermon which I will never forget.
Press on. Press on. Press on.
Our fellowship here at the tree is very important.
Hold fast. Press on. Press on. Press on.
love and blessings in Christ’s name,
monti
I like Sundance the best on days he feels his faith. The power is within us to connect to any other living being. And when we do, they will always remember. Thanks for returning to this when things get crazy around us.
We must hold strong; you must hold strong.
Truer words have not been written. Thank you!
You words never fail to inspire me. I needed your words today. I needed to hear Amazing Grace. Thank you.
Chuckle for the day, this thief was definitely not in control 🤣
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2023/11/serial-car-thief-ohio-stopped-fast-thinking-forklift/
Great rendition of Amazing Grace, thank you!
I’m copying and pasting and mailing this to many people and have put up a copy of the words for me as well. The picture of the sheep and warrior are separate. Look to the Lord. Proverbs 2:7 ,8 He is our refuge and stores up wisdom for the righteous. He is our shield to those who walk uprightly and in integrity. He may guard the paths of justice, yes He preserves the way of His saints
Good here! I have the joy of the Lord and am so very thankful for that! Brings much peace with it!! 🙌🏼🙏🏼🙌🏼
Thank you
I am confined by age and infirmity but still get to read a lot especially this site. And I stay in touch with friends and family, viewing their faces and moods, thanks to modern technology. Regular Mass attendance with Father Mike Smitz’s yields homilies paralleling Sundance’s messages. They are both remarkable in fostering an upbeat, very positive view of life. Both believe in the centrality of God and his love for each of us. If we could mirror the slightest fraction of that we can have a “miraculous” impact on those who do not yet see or understand. Most people today are confused or controlled by family or group history. We need to show them, first by example, and later by patient explanation a better way. Even if we fail a large portion of the time; there are plenty of.250 hitters in baseball!
There is a kind of peace I can create in my own mind if I can shut out what’s going on everywhere out there. That’s pretending.
But there is another kind of peace I find when I remember what the word of God describes.
He said there will be a time of distress like the world has never seen. He will use it to show the distinction between the godly and the ungodly. No room for lukewarm.
Hold on tight to loving the truth and not denying his name.
God Almighty is still on the throne, not taken by surprise and will accomplish all his good pleasure.
To save whosoever will,
To destroy whosoever won’t, and to bring Israel to finally say
“Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord”
In their affliction they will seek him with all their heart and soul.
This is what we are witnessing .
I want revenge.
Thank you Sundance!
Thank you for that absolutely phenomenal version of Amazing Grace. Oh yea, and your writings.
By No Means is May 1948 + 80 years or before May 2028. Reference Psalm 90:10 below as maximum biblical age of 70-80.
Matthew 24:34 Assuredly, I say to you, this generation will by no means pass away till all these things take place. 35 Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will by “no means pass away”.
Psalm 90:10 The days of our years are threescore years and ten; and if by reason of strength they be fourscore years, yet is their strength labour and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we fly away.
—————–
The most important signs are the ones that relate to Israel because God uses the Jews throughout the Scriptures as His prophetic time clock. By this I mean that very often when the Lord is revealing an important event that will take place in the future, He will point to the Jewish people and state that when a certain thing happens to them, the important event will also occur.
A good example of this principle can be found in Daniel 9 in the famous “Seventy Weeks of Years” prophecy. The prophet tells us to watch for a decree to be issued that will authorize the rebuilding of Jerusalem. He then says that the Messiah will come sixty-nine weeks of years (483 years) after that decree is issued to the Jewish people.
There are two key prophecies which relate the return of Jesus to events that have occurred in Jewish history since 1948. These two events clearly established the period in which we are now living as the season of the Lord’s return.
The State of Israel
The first is the re-establishment of the state of Israel, which occurred on May 14, 1948. Jesus singled out this event as the one that would signal His soon return.
His prophecy is contained in the fig tree parable (Matthew 24:32-35) which He presented in His Olivet Discourse. The day before He delivered this speech, He had put a curse on a barren fig tree, causing it to wither (Matthew 21:18-19). This was a symbolic prophecy that God would soon pour out His wrath upon the Jewish people because of their spiritual barrenness in rejecting His Son.
The next day, Jesus reminded His disciples of the fig tree. He said to watch for it to bloom again. In other words, He said watch for the rebirth of Israel. He indicated that when the fig tree blooms again, He would be at the gates of Heaven, ready to return (Matthew 24:33).
Equally significant, He added an interesting observation: “Truly I say to you, this generation will not pass away until all these things take place” (Matthew 24:34). What generation? The generation that sees the fig tree blossom.
We are that generation. The fig tree has blossomed. Jesus is at the gates.

Matthew 24:33-34 New King James Version
33 So you also, when you see all these things, know that [a]it is near—at the doors! 34 Assuredly, I say to you, this generation will by no means pass away till all these things take place.
—————–
Matthew 24:18-19 New King James Version
The Fig Tree Withered
18 Now in the morning, as He returned to the city, He was hungry. 19 And seeing a fig tree by the road, He came to it and found nothing on it but leaves, and said to it, “Let no fruit grow on you ever again.” Immediately the fig tree withered away.
—————–
Matthew 24:32-35 New King James Version
The Parable of the Fig Tree
32 “Now learn this parable from the fig tree: When its branch has already become tender and puts forth leaves, you know that summer is near. 33 So you also, when you see all these things, know that [a]it is near—at the doors! 34 Assuredly, I say to you, this generation will by no means pass away till all these things take place. 35 Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will by no means pass away.
Beware of simulacra.
Satan, the Father of Lies, can quote scripture too.

Thank you so much, Sundance! And all the same back to you!
For all of us:
24 The Lord bless you and keep you;
25 the Lord make His face to shine upon you and be gracious to you;
26 the Lord lift up His countenance (or face) upon you and give you peace.
Numbers 6:24-26 (ESV)
Much love to you and all on this list!

The early church gave us these four keys…
Acts 2:42 And they continued steadfastly in the apostles’ teaching and fellowship, in the breaking of bread, and in prayers.
Continue in the Apostles teaching, the Word of God. Jesus told us to live in His Word John 8:31-32… the Truth of the Word will set you/keep you free.
Fellowship – Isolation and division is the work of the enemy. Seek out and encourage fellow believers.
Breaking Bread – Put down your devices and eat together… this includes the Lord’s Body and Blood.
Prayers – Rejoice, Pray without ceasing, give thanks… this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.
Go outside! Getting outside and touching nature helps, even if it is just the back yard or looking out a window. Nature is created by G*d almighty. It is real and pure and so much bigger and enduring than we are and proclaims the glory of the divine. By contrast everything created by humans is tainted, artificial and transitory; reflecting our fallen nature.
Custer Park is has been my saving grace so often since I moved here.
When things seem crazy and out of control its off to Custer Park for a hike or to a lookout I’ll put in my earbuds talk to the Lord while meandering through the woods, or sitting quietly looking at the Lord’s wonderous creations.
In South Dakota?
Yes. Custer Park is less then 30 mins from where I live ….
Every time I seem to find something new and different.
When I need wind in my sails, I turn this up; my favorite battle hymn
Thank You Sundance for all your hard work…This message was truly needed for so many of us.
That song That video had me in tears What a voice– You can just feel his emotions and Christ within his voice.
“It is the Lord who goes before you. He will be with you; he will not leave you or forsake you. Do Not Fear or be Dismayed.”
Thank You Sundance.
good man..good read. excellent advices
God Bless America
Yes, we are in control, so stop spewing out that bullshit that God is in control. Satan is the god of this world, but greater is He that is in you than he that is in the world. Do not forfeit your authority that God has given you to exert over the devil by shuffling it off to God. It’s up to you and I to do it.
God IS in control. Period.
It’s funny (well, “funny” maybe is not the right word) how the worse things get, the stronger my faith grows because I’m seeing the continuing fulfillment of what the Bible tells us will happen as we get to the last days. One of the things I remember about the timeline is that Israel will rebuild the temple and reinstitute animal sacrifice in the last days. Maybe the return to animal sacrifice will be a way for Israel to entreat God to put an end to a prolonged, brutal war. Could the current war be that war?
Thank you for this, Sundance.
Thanks Sundance. Many of us have been down hearted for a long time just watching the suffering many are going through. It shows on everyone’s face. Will work harder at cheering them up. Thank you.
“Step outside of your home right now; look around, do you see any threat . . . ”
“A Venezuelan national convicted of murder back home was arrested by local ICE agents while living in migrant shelter housing on Cape Cod.
Jordano Gotopo-Lopez, 38, was convicted of murder in 2006 yet made his way across the southern border in July and ended up in state housing at Joint Base Cape Cod in Bourne, the Herald has learned.
He was arrested a week ago without incident at his state-funded residence,” – Boston Herald
Jordano’s state-funded residence, with concierge services provided by the National Guard, and 59 other ‘families’, is practically in my backyard. So, when I step outside my home right now and enjoy the tranquil morning and the clear blue sky, I take comfort in the fact that my gun is loaded and secure on my person.
