A simple but powerful way to generate happiness anytime, anywhere. Do you want to be happier? Supply Chain Thinking is a two-step process that teaches us to deepen how we view and appreciate the world around us.

One of the most well-known mystical animals in both eastern and western cultures is the dragon, but both cultures have wildly different views on them. Some see dragons as really neat flying dinosaurs that breathe fire and destroy things. Some think of dragons as symbolic of Satan. And yet for hundreds of millions in Asia, dragons are snakelike beings with deep religious significance. The same creature can be wildly different depending on who you talk to. In this video, we cover Asian dragons and how they are part of the Folk Religious system seen in Taiwan today. We also talk about the DRAGON CONTROVERSY and what you should do about dragons and dragon merch in your own personal life. ⏲TIME STAMPS⏲ 0:00 Today we talk about dragons!? 0:30 Why are dragons so beloved in China?? 0:38 What is a famous Chinese idiom about success?? 0:50 How long have dragons been an official imperial symbol?? 1:00 What sort of forms is the dragon presented in Chinese culture???? 1:30 What is the most well-known form of dragon?? 2:21 Why is the physical composition of a dragon important?? 3:30 What part do dragons play in Chinese religious culture??? 4:08 Why is there a dragon dance at festivals?? 4:50 Why are dragons represented in different colors in dragon dances?❤️?? 5:25 COMPARE & CONTRAST 5:30 Why are dragons controversial?⚔️ 6:30 Why are serpents and dragons often linked to Satan??? 6:37 What does Revelation 22 say about dragons?? 7:24 How should Christian believers act in sensitive situations?⚠️ 7:51 1 Corinthians 10:24? 8:25 Why should Christians be careful about fear empowering objects?? 9:04 Don't flee from idolatry without fleeing towards Jesus. ?‍♀‍ 9:35 Let us know in the comments!?‍? ▬ Contents of this video ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ ?

Holidays happen all across the world but sometimes they overlap in unique ways. In this video, we share three things that Chinese New Year and Passover have in common. Having a common trait doesn't mean that they are connected or that at some point people groups mingled and swapped ideas about religion and holidays. But, as people made in the image of God, we sometimes worship in patterns and it's interesting to see the common ground and differences we have. All across the world people are celebrating and remembering, and while the details may be different, it's important to understand how humanity isn't so different from each other. One of the things to realize is that the story of Chinese New Year, or the Passover and the Seder, are things that people identify with personally. The Passover story is told not as an isolated story of an ancient people but, to a Jewish person, as "our story." Realizing that we have a great heritage as Christians and that we wouldn't be here without the amazing work of God helps us to identify with those stories on a richer, deeper, and personal level. ⏲ TIMESTAMPS ⏲ 0:00 It's time for Lunar New Year? 0:45 Comparing Chinese New Year with Passover ?/✡ 0:52 Chinese New Year is the largest human migration in the world?‍?‍?‍??‍?‍?‍??‍?‍?‍??‍?‍??‍?‍?‍??‍?‍?‍??‍?‍??‍?‍?‍? 1:21 1st Thing in common: a terrifying, child-devouring creature ?+??=? 1:30 The Nian comes to attack once a year? 1:54 Three things the Nian is afraid of??? 2:54 Storytime about the Nian ? 4:14 2nd Thing in common: Red on the doorframes (Spring Couplets)? 5:15 3rd Thing in common: Family gatherings, food, and community??? 5:54 The importance of the reunion meal?????? 6:42 COMPARE & CONTRAST TIME 6:50 Passover is one of the most important holidays in Judaism ✡ 6:53 The Exodus Passover Story ???????????????????? 7:10 Moses tries to set the Jewish people free 8:00 The angel of death ? 8:37 Passover red doorframes with blood from an unblemished lamb? 9:33 Every year Jewish families gather together for Passover ? 9:41 The Seder meal? 10:14 Do you have a favorite Lunar New Year Tradition? ❓❓❓ 10:24 Look at the festivals in the Old Testament and ask, "What were they really celebrating?"? ▬ Contents of this video ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ ?

This week we look at six different types of sacrifices and offerings. Three are Taiwanese and three are Christian. Throughout history, virtually every culture has had some sort of system where sacrifice and offerings are involved. Often religious or political, the willing loss of something (Or sometimes unwilling) is very important in most societies. In Taiwanese Folk Religion, it is an important and regular aspect of Worship. In Christianity, our most important moments revolve around sacrifice. Sacrifice and Offering are often used interchangeably but have different meanings. Sacrifice usually costs one a bit more than an offering! In this video, we discuss the sacrifice for hungry ghosts, for unique gods, and for ancestors seen in Taiwan as well as Christian sacrifice through Jesus, offerings, and being a living sacrifice. ⏰TIME STAMPS⏰ 0:18 Today we are going to cover 6 different ways people sacrifice or give offerings 0:39 What is ancestor sacrifice? ??️? 0:45 The differences between sacrifices and offerings ?? 1:25 Burning boat sacrifices in Keelung?⛵? 1:39 Qian Gu festival sacrifices ??‍♂️ 1:49 Cangue Festival sacrifices? 2:07 Reasons for sacrifice in Taiwanese Folk Religion#1 Offering to appease hungry ghosts? 3:51 #2 Transactions with gods (people worshipping for fertility, prosperity, beauty, etc.) ???? 5:50 #3 Veneration of ancestors 6:35 COMPARE AND CONTRAST 6:48 The most important reason for sacrifice in Christianity is #1 Forgiveness of Sins✝️ 7:30 Sin is the cause of death☠️ 7:50 Jesus came and paid for our sins, and it changed our sacrificial system✝️ 7:56 #2 Offerings for Blessing 9:17 #3 Offering of worship? 9:32 Christians should present themselves as a living sacrifice (Romans 12:1)? 10:16 The world hates the message of Christianity? ▬ Contents of this video ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ ?
