Matthew Eldridge
A wide variety of topics that make us happy or nostalgic, from music and books, tv shows, movies, cooking, DIY, the supernatural, scriptural studies, and MORE! Discussed by yours truly (Matthew) and my beautiful lady, along with our friends, family and co-workers. The Sunroom is a place for light-hearted and gleeful conversation.

An impromptu episode where Kimberly and I discuss Matthew 24, false prophets and the signs that Jesus tells us will precede the coming of the end of the age. Join us for the ride!
In this episode, we talk about Gap Theory, which delves into the idea of an unspoken period of time between the 1st and 2nd verses of creation in Genesis Chapter 1. Was there a time before man when a pre-adamic earth was destroyed before being re-shaped by God? What did that world look like? We also touch on the miracle of creation and the nature of life itself, as being a wonder that displays God's glory and power.

In this episode we talk about sound and wise advice for a happy marriage. This podcast is not only intended for us, as a soon-to-be-wed couple, but for all couples married or otherwise for application through day to day life. We also have a very special guest on the show today. None other than SEAN ASTIN (The Goonies, The Lord of the Rings, 50 First Dates) who offers his own marriage advice, as well as what Samwise Gamgee (the beloved hobbit character from the Lord of the Rings) would tell a newly wed couple. We were so excited to be able to meet with him! Enjoy!

In this episode, we sit down with Arthur Wilder, who has extensively researched the Carolina Bays, which suggest that a catastrophic meteoric event happened in earth's ice age that showered ice chunks down into the eastern coast, as well as Texas and parts of the midwest that drastically changed the topography of North America, and could have created tsunami events that even reached the ports of the lost city of Atlantis spoken of in the accounts of Plato and Herodotus. We talk about the possible location of this city, the historic description of it, as well as the effects that such a catastrophic would have had on other continents of the time. Don't miss this one!

In this episode, we talk about our love for J.R.R. Tolkien, Middle Earth, and the books that colored our childhood and how they are filled with tons of Christian allegory and references. His themes and characters touch on the nature of Christ, the nature of man, our calling through Jesus, our life in the constant struggle of life and death, sin and redemption, and reconciliation with God through the "Return of the King". We finish up by telling how we are incorporating such themes inspired by Tolkien into our wedding and why.

In this episode, we talk about dragons!...or is it dinosaurs? Well, in any case, we bring you interesting information about the origin of the names "dragon" and "dinosaur", historical accounts of them seen in the wild, legends of sightings in the modern day, depictions of them in artwork and architecture, and what it would mean if paleontological/geological/biological evidence prove that these amazing creatures were not as ancient as we once thought.

In this episode, we talk about the history of giants in the earth, beginning with Genesis 6 in the Bible, the Book of Enoch, and historical accounts such as Flavius Josephus.
We also talk about the seed of the serpent and conspiracy theories surrounding the governments and black projects around the world collecting giant DNA and experimenting with creating super-humans, in an attempt to transcend the boundaries of humanity.
Later, we talk about modern day accounts of giants and both living remains and archaeological remains, and what happened to them, culminating in the discussion of the idea that both the Smithsonian Institute and the Vatican are hiding them, hoarding them, or destroying them, or all of the above.

This is an impromptu episode to conclude the year 2022, and prepare for a fresh start in 2023. I pray that this year will be a journey of weeding out the unnecessary things in our lives and the things that keep us from a deeper relationship with the Lord, and a beginning of new things and better habits for a healthy lifestyle: spiritually, mentally and physically. It is necessary for our old selves to die, and for us to be transformed by the renewing of our minds. In this episode, I talk a little bit about hope and providence, the two great factors in life that are the catalyst of joy and fullness of life, which also produce in us a gratefulness and a thirst to serve God and become a beacon of light in an ever-darkening world. I pray that this episode blesses you!

"We all change, if you think about it. We are all different people all across our lives. And that's okay, that's good! You've got to keep moving...so long as you remember all the people that you used to be. I will never forget one day of this - not one line. I will always remember when The Doctor was me."

Matthew and Kimberly take on the One Chip Challenge with drive and determination, delving into the spicy, peppery intricacies of total tongue annihilation. Guess Kimberly's catchphrase in this episode! We took the liberty of adding some background music to this one to let you know that we were still alive and well (well....surviving.....and struggling....and crying). Enjoy!!!

In this episode, we talk about a select group of conspiracy theories (and somehow get sidetracked into cryptids for a bit). From the Illuminati, to MK Ultra, pigeons as drones (lol), and even the William Shakespeare and Anne Hathaway connection. There is obviously WAY too much in this category to talk about and SO little time, so we will leave more content for further episodes.
