African Diet Secret We Learned
“You know, I do think much of the salvation of the planet is in diet. Another thing is how easy it is to get into it. You don’t have to change all of your eating habits. Here’s a little thing: just add bran to your diet in the morning and in the evening, and you can cancel out about 80 percent of the diseases in the lower digestive tract. And you know the way they got into that?
They got into Africa. They happened to meet this group of Africans whose systems were regular. They began checking and they found out that within 24 hours everything they had eaten had passed completely through their systems. From there it led to the roughage theory. This was already suspected, but for follow-up, researchers found some of this same group of Africans who had moved to Western society. This group was winding up with the same kinds of diseases as people in the West. So—when you cook string beans and take the strings off, your roughage is gone. The lesson for us: add some bran.”

Todd Galberth
“Encounter”
It was a great pleasure to speak with Todd Galberth and find out about the worship experience he is releasing next. I inquired about his method in creating an album and he said he is all about creating an experience for each project. Todd Galberth has released his new project “Encounter!” Look for artists like Chandler Moore, Tasha Cobbs, Anna Golden, and Naomi Raine. His first single “Better Than Good” has already blessed thousands as it reached No. 1 on the Billboard charts. He attributes his success to his dedication to his local church ministry. “Encounter” along with two of his projects can be found on any digital platform.
