IntroductionWhat happens to your sense of self when the earthly roles you play, mother, professional, spouse, suddenly shift, fail, or disappear entirely? In this lesson, we will explore the liberating shift from asking "Who am I?" based on temporary labels, to discovering "Whose I am" in Christ.Here is what you will discover in this episode:Realize the danger of "pigeonholing" your self-worth into temporary earthly roles.Learn how life disruptions can reveal hidden "identity holes" and how to heal them.Understand your standing as an adopted child of God through key biblical scriptures.Shift your mindset from a lonely "it's just me" attitude to a confident "I belong to the Father" reality.My Story: A Wake-Up Call in a London ChurchRecently, I found myself wrestling with a deep, unsettling question: Who am I?It all started during a church service in London back in 2023. A new member was introduced who shared my last name and came from my home country. I felt a sudden rush of excitement thinking we might be related. But just as quickly, a painful thought hit me like a physical blow: How could you be related? You don't even know who your father is.Even though I was 63 years old and didn't "need" a father in my daily life, that moment revealed a massive, unhealed identity hole. It made me realize how easily our sense of self can shatter. We often build our entire identities on what we do or who we are related to. As the Scripture tells us:"For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he." — Proverbs 23:7When our earthly connections or roles crack, our entire foundation can fall apart. Let's explore how we can build an identity that can never be shaken.Why Earthly Labels Place a Limit on Your PotentialWhen someone asks who you are, what is your go-to answer? Do you say, "I'm a mom," "I'm a writer," or "I'm a secretary"? While these roles are wonderful, tying your identity solely to them is incredibly limiting.If your identity is tied to your marriage, what happens if that marriage ends in divorce? If your identity is tied to your career, what happens if you lose your job? When I was laid off from my Wall Street job in the middle of a massive financial crisis in New York City, everyone expected me to panic. But I didn't. Why? Because my identity was never tied to my job title.When we define ourselves strictly by our circumstances, we easily fall into a lonely, defensive mindset of "me, myself, and I." We start asking ourselves fearful questions like: If I don't earn this money, who will? Who will help me make these hard decisions? Who takes care of me when I'm exhausted?By framing our life as "it's just me against the world," we limit our options and block ourselves from receiving divine help.Finding My Identity in ChristThe real game-changer in my life was shifting my devotion from my temporary labels to Christ. That is where we answer the deeper question: Whose am I?Here are the powerful truths that define who you are in His eyes:"But to all who believed him and accepted him, he gave the right to become children of God." — John 1:12"See how very much our father loves us for he calls us his children and that is what we are." — 1 John 3:1"For all who are led by the spirit of God are children of God. So you have not received a spirit that makes you fearful slaves. Instead, you receive God's spirit when he adopted you as his own children. Now we call him Abba father." — Romans 8:14-15When my husband left me to raise our two- and four-year-old sons on my own, I had to learn how to rely on God as a literal partner. I co-parented with Him. He gave me wisdom for hard decisions, provided rent when money was tight, and filled my home with peace. Because I understood whose I was, I knew I was never truly alone.Think of it this way: If your own child is thirsty, they don't knock hesitantly on your door; they burst right in because they belong to you. You are their parent, and you naturally care for them first. God does the same for us as His children. As He promises us:"Seek ye first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added unto you." — Matthew 6:33Summary[00:00 - 01:15] Introduction: Challenging you to look past your daily roles and ask: Whose are you?[01:16 - 03:30] The London Incident: How a simple introduction in a church pew exposed a 63-year-old "identity hole" left by an absent father.[03:31 - 05:45] The Trap of Earthly Labels: Why calling yourself "just a mom" or "just an employee" keeps you stuck in a lonely, fearful "it's just me" mindset.[05:46 - 08:30] Surviving Life's Crises: Why my Wall Street layoff didn't break me, and how you can protect your peace when roles shift.[08:31 - 11:30] Finding Identity in Christ: Grounding ourselves in Scripture to realize we are adopted, cherished children of God.[11:31 - 14:00] Bold Access to the Father: The child-and-parent analogy, and why God's children get to step to the front of the line for His love and provision.[14:01 - End] Journal Reflections & Next Steps: Practical journal prompts to help you apply these lessons in your daily life.Your Self-Reflection Journal Challenge Grab a notebook and write down these three prompts to discover your true identity:I have been identifying myself as ______.Because I belong to Christ, I can begin to see myself as ______.One need I can bring to God and one step I can take is ______.Call to Action & ResourcesIf you're a single mom struggling with loneliness, fear, or grief, grab a copy of my 21-day Christian devotional, "Courage to Believe."

Variety called Trouser Press "one of the greatest music magazines in history" and described Zip It Up! (2024) as "practically a real-time history of some of the best rock music of that era." Zip It Up! Too is packed with more enthusiastic, in-depth coverage of a diverse collection of artists. Vintage interviews with Paul McCartney, Jeff Beck, Bill Wyman and members of The Who provide insight into classic rock history, while profiles of the Police, Talking Heads, Duran Duran, the Cars, Devo, the Pretenders and New Order reflect the progress of music in the 1980s. There are features on Nick Drake, Ian Dury, the Modern Lovers, Lene Lovich, ABBA, the Troggs and the German group Can - as well as a previously uncollected Ramones interview by the famed Lester Bangs.Zip It Up! Too includes 21 "autodiscographies," a unique Trouser Press feature in which artists spoke about each of their albums in sequence, sharing detailed behind-the-scenes memories of them. Stars who opened their musical closets to Trouser Press include Genesis, Jethro Tull, Jefferson Airplane, Cheap Trick, Sparks, Iggy, Blondie, Slade and Ian Hunter (Mott the Hoople), all of whom provided fascinating first-person documents of real historical value.Trouser Press began as a mimeographed fanzine in New York in 1974 and grew to a glossy national monthly by the end of its existence in 1984. Although known for its coverage of British bands, the magazine more generally focused on music that was underground, independent or unappreciated. Fans called it "the bible of alternative rock."Trouser Press put its name to five album review guides published in the 1980s and 1990s and continues with a dedicated website at www.trouserpress.com.From Zip It Up! Too: James Osterberg, more notoriously known as Iggy Pop, is an American original: an articulate juvenile delinquent. From the moment he burst on the national scene with the Stooges, there was no doubt that here was the reductio ad absurdum of rock and roll. Over the years, Osterberg has somehow not only survived but grown, dragging Iggy with him. Zombie Birdhouse marks a new direction in his music - one no less compelling than the chaotic self-destruction of old. He has also given us a book of autobiographical reminiscences, I Need More, to further our understanding of his intriguing personality. Here Osterberg examines his recorded legacy and the situations surrounding its creation. "All recordings are painful," he says. "It's like waiting to score." Brace yourself for the raging id of Ig. You know how great the Ramones are. But, sadly, there is a world out there which remains unconvinced. Once or twice a year, I revisit my erstwhile stomping grounds in Detroit, and when I do, I always stay at the home of Rob Tyner of the MC5. A little over a year ago, I happened to notice that his eight-year-old son, Robin, was getting on this Fonzie kick, saying things like "Hey dad, do you think I could ever get just a bunch of guys to hang out with and do stuff?" He didn't know the word "gang" and of course had no idea what they would do if and when they got together to hang out except that it would, of course, be "cool." Rob threatened to buy him a tom-thumb-size black leather jacket. I took more direct action: I went out and bought a copy of Ramones Leave Home, brought it back to the house and said: "Robin, I've got a present for you" - whipping it out of the bag - "punk rock!" (Lester Bangs) "My father's a salesman," Jonathan Richman explains. "That's where 'Roadrunner' came from. He's a traveling salesman. He sells to military installations all over New England. That's how I got that love for 7 Up signs and Norwood and Foxboro and all these different places. I would sit in the car with him, and we would drive all over this area, up and down New England. It was like a whole other world to me." Jonathan is sitting in a Cambridge natural food restaurant at eleven in the morning. He is wearing a T shirt and shorts. His muscular, unshaven appearance is surprisingly different from his publicity pic.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-unplugged-totally-uncut--994165/support.

Aflevering 4. Terwijl Agnetha, Björn, Benny en Frida aan hun solocarrières bouwen, wisselen hun successen zich af met persoonlijke tragedies. Bijvoorbeeld in het leven van Agnetha, die jarenlang gevolgd wordt door een Nederlandse stalker. Gelukkig komt er ook nog steeds veel goeds uit Nederland, als Anita Neutenboom en Helga van de Kar in de jaren 80 besluiten om een nieuwe, internationale ABBA-fanclub op te richten. Het zorgt voor een inmiddels 40-jarig contact met de ABBA-leden en hun management. Regelmatig is er ruimte voor persoonlijke ontmoetingen. Anne hoort van hen wat de Mamma Mia-musical en films betekend hebben voor de legacy van ABBA, net als de recente ABBA Voyage-show met de ABBA-hologrammen. En hoe denken Anita en Helga dat ABBA de toekomst in gaat? Terwijl Mandy vertelt over de ontknoping van haar contact met Benny, proberen alle gasten van de podcast die ene intrigerende vraag over het ABBA-succes te beantwoorden.

With Jo on holiday, Chris and Alex open with a quick recap of chapter 7. The law was good but powerless, sin was pervasive, and the chapter ended with Paul's cry: who will rescue me from this body of death? Thanks be to God through Jesus Christ. They then read verses 1–11. They unpack "no condemnation" as both a verdict and a penalty. The cross deals with the believer's forensic status, but it also deals with sin's power and its wages of death. They note how the chapter brings the Holy Spirit to centre stage, and how Paul contrasts "the law of the Spirit of life" with "the law of sin and death". For the Trinitarian nerds, verses 3–4 show all three persons at work. Chris points out that the Greek peri hamartias ("for sin") carries the language of the Septuagint's sin offering. Christ both fulfils the law's standard and becomes the offering for those who can't meet it. They also hear echoes of Ezekiel's returning Spirit and Jeremiah's law written on the heart. And, as promised to Jo, the new Exodus gets a mention.Verses 12–17 move the metaphor from slavery to family. Chris suggests adoption is less a picture than the underlying reality of the relationship, with both obligations and blessings. Alex brings in the prodigal son and his older brother: our identity rests in the Father, and our obligations flow out of that identity rather than earning it. The pair explore adoption in first-century Jewish and Roman settings, where an adoptee took on a new father's name, status and inheritance (hence the outrageous number of men called Gaius Julius Caesar). They discuss how best to render "Abba": not "Daddy", but something closer to an Australian "Dad", both reverent and intimate. They close the section on verse 17's condition that heirs suffer with Christ in order to be glorified with him.Verses 18–27 zoom out to the cosmic scale. Paul's "present sufferings" carry real weight coming from a former persecutor who now suffers for the faith. Alex pushes back on a narrow "where do I go when I die?" view of salvation. Paul's vision is a whole creation set free from its bondage to decay, reversing the effects of Genesis 3. Chris draws on being present for his wife's two labours to unpack the childbirth imagery: real anguish, with anticipation and new life on the other side. The Spirit becomes the bridge between the now and the not yet, interceding with groans too deep for words, a striking contrast to the helplessness of chapter 7. Both hosts firmly reject the idea that suffering is a sign that blessing has failed.The final section, verses 28–39, is a dense run of famous verses. "All things work together for good" is read against Genesis 50 and the Joseph story, where the good God brings may land generations later, and where the personal good is conformity to Christ rather than material blessing. On the "golden chain" of foreknew, predestined, called, justified and glorified, Chris and Alex outline several readings. They include whether foreknowledge and predestination should be merged or kept distinct, and whether "calling" is an invitation or a summons. Chris also notes the link between kaleō and ekklēsia. Both argue the chain is mainly about sanctification and family likeness to Christ, read corporately more than individually. The past-tense "glorified" speaks of a future so certain it can be described as done. Alex notes that every link in the chain is an act of God rather than a human response. Then come Paul's rhetorical questions, the quotation from Psalm 44 and the rare word hupernikōmen, "more than conquerors" (or in Chris's words, "uber victorious", not to be confused with the delivery app). The episode ends on Paul's sweeping list of things that cannot separate us from God's love, which Alex offers as the pastoral takeaway. Chris and Alex also flag that chapters 9–11 are coming next, where Paul turns to what all this means for the history of God's people.Resources used for this episode: Tom Schreiner and Colin Kruse on Romans; Douglas Moo; Ernst Käsemann; N.T.

There are areas of our lives where we can belong to God, yet still live under things Jesus has already given us freedom and authority over. In this message, Pastor Chad Everett continues in Galatians 4:1–7, showing the difference between living as an immature heir and living from our identity as sons and daughters of God. Through Jesus, we have been redeemed from bondage, adopted into God's family, and made heirs through Christ. We were under the elements of the world, controlled by the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, the pride of life, and our own carnal nature. But Jesus came to redeem us and bring us out of bondage. The fullness of time has already come. Jesus has already paid the price. Our freedom is not something we have to wait for someday. We are called to receive what Jesus has already accomplished and begin living from our position as sons and daughters right now. That means choosing faith over feelings. It means allowing God to mature us through discipleship, accountability, correction, and surrender. It means recognizing the areas where we are still yielding to our flesh and bringing them under the authority of Jesus. Because we are sons and daughters, God has sent the Spirit of His Son into our hearts, crying out, “Abba, Father.” Our identity is not determined by how we feel in a moment. We have a Father, we belong to Him, and we have been invited to receive the inheritance Jesus paid for with His own blood. And ultimately, our inheritance is not merely something we receive from God. Our inheritance is Him. “Where we're under, we got to come over.” Ask the Holy Spirit: Where am I still living like a slave when Jesus has called me to live as a son or daughter? It's time to grow, receive what Jesus has already provided, and move from under to over. The Roads Church - https://theroads.church

"I'm about five years old and I'm so tired. I say, Abba, which is what I call my father, can you carry me? I'm so tired. And I remember him saying, Deanch, I can't carry you, but I'll carry you with my stories."— Dena SchustermanABOUT THIS EPISODEDena Schusterman was about five years old, walking a mile and a half to synagogue on Shabbat, too tired to go another step. She asked her father to carry her. He told her he couldn't — but he'd carry her with his stories, and by the time he finished she was at the synagogue door with no memory of the walk. Forty years later, sitting in a room with two thousand women while someone told one of her father's stories without using his name, she decided those stories needed to be reclaimed. What started as a plan to write her father's memoir became something else entirely, because you cannot write someone else's life. In this conversation, Dena and Mike talk about the oral tradition both of them grew up inside, what happens when a writer traces a coping mechanism back four generations and finds it still running in her own kitchen, why rejection never derailed her, and what it costs to look at the people who came before you with compassion instead of judgment.KEY TAKEAWAYS1. You cannot write somebody else's memoir. Dena set out to write her father's story and discovered fairly quickly that the form wouldn't allow it — a memoir has to be told from inside a life, and the only life she could write from inside of was her own. The book that resulted still holds her father's stories, but the person carrying them is her.2. Writing a memoir will crack you open, and you should expect that. Her husband warned her before she started that it would take her places she hadn't gone. She waved him off. It took her places she hadn't gone. Knowing the punchline of a family story turned out to be very different from asking her parents how they felt about what happened.3. Inherited coping mechanisms don't announce themselves. Dena's grandmother survived the Holocaust in part by trading food for slivers of soap to stay clean. Two generations later, Dena found herself raging at her kids about a messy house and realized she was running a script she'd never consciously received: a clean house is how you stay alive. Naming it was what let her stop.4. Bringing something into the light makes it smaller, not bigger. The energy spent keeping a difficult thing stuffed down is what generates the anxiety around it. Put it on the page and it turns out to be survivable — and, in Dena's experience, one sentence on paper pulls the next one out behind it.5. Start at the end and rewind. Dena's process is to know the ending first and then work backwards asking how she got there. The ending, she points out, is rarely the interesting part. The route is.6. A "smooth path" to publication can still include every rejection. She never found an agent. She got the rejections. She was ready to pay a hybrid publisher until a lawyer told her not to sign, which sent her to Mercer University Press — where her editor had been telling her to go for eight years. She kept a reminder in her pocket that The Queen's Gambit was rejected for thirty-two years, and treated every no as proof she was closer to a yes.7. Compassion for the people who came before you is out of fashion, and worth doing anyway. Dena's read on the moment is that we've gotten very good at being kind to ourselves and very quick to judge our parents and grandparents. Her hope for readers is that they look at their own inherited stories the way she learned to look at hers — not to excuse anything, but because every family story eventually becomes a choice about how you show up.GET THE BOOKStories Carry: We All Carry Them.

If you're going to watch your local football team this weekend, or perhaps catch a big match on a TV screen in the pub, do you know that you may be unconsciously participating in an ancient ritual? And as you're shouldering your way to the bar from the mosh pit at some gig and grinning at those you pass, are you aware that the artist you were watching may be embodying some spirit of transformation? That was the radical proposal of the book The Death and Resurrection Show that Rogan Taylor published in 1985, a book that is exceedingly difficult to get hold of now but one that became the inspiration and touchdown for my guest in this episode. David Bramwell returned to the Bureau to talk about The Ghosts of the Medicine Show, the book he's written about the themes of Rogan Taylor's Death and Resurrection Show. It is also a personal memoir of something most of us can relate to -growing up and being transformed by seeing musicians and artists and actors. David asks: 'What if the musician, the actor, the clown, the circus performer, the rock star — even the celebrity — are the latest manifestations of something that began much, much earlier' For most of human history, before temples, books and organised religions existed, our ancestors lived as nomadic hunter-gatherers. Their knowledge could not be written down; it had to be remembered, performed and embodied. The figures who carried this knowledge were the shamans—storytellers, healers, singers, dancers, magicians and guides who used performance to preserve culture, bind communities together and lead people through experiences of suffering, transformation and renewal. Where are they now? We also get into football, funerals - and ABBA..

https://wels2.blob.core.windows.net/tmb-ehv/03-0921db.mp3 Listen to Bible reading Through My Bible Yr 03 – September 21 Galatians 3:19 – 4:7 Galatians 3 The Law as Chaperone 19 Then what about the law? It was added for the purpose of revealing transgressions, until the Seed [1] to whom the promise referred had come. It was transmitted through angels by the hand of a mediator. 20 Now a mediator is not needed for one party, but God is one. 21 Then is the law against the promises of God? Certainly not! For if there had been a law given that could give life, certainly righteousness would have been derived from the law. 22 But Scripture imprisoned all things under sin, so that the promise by faith in Jesus Christ would be given to those who believe. 23 But before this faith came, we were held in custody under the law, imprisoned until the coming faith was revealed. 24 So the law was our chaperone [2] until Christ, so that we might be justified by faith. 25 But now that this faith has come, we are no longer under a chaperone. [3] Sons of God Through Faith 26 In fact, you are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus. 27 Indeed, as many of you as were baptized into Christ have been clothed with Christ. 28 There is not Jew or Greek, slave or free, male or female, for you are all one and the same in Christ Jesus. 29 And if you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham's descendants [4] and heirs according to the promise. God Sent His Son Galatians 4 1 What I am saying is this: As long as the heir is a young child, he is no different from a slave. Although he is owner of everything, 2 he is still under guardians and managers until the day set by his father. 3 So also, when we were younger children, we were enslaved under the basic principles of the world. 4 But when the set time had fully come, God sent his Son to be born of a woman, so that he would be born under the law, 5 in order to redeem those under the law, so that we would be adopted as sons. 6 And because you are sons, God sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts to shout, “Abba, Father!” 7 So you are no longer a slave, but a son. And if you are a son, then you are also an heir of God through Christ. [5] Footnotes Galatians 3:19 Or Descendant; Genesis 12:7 Galatians 3:24 The Greek term for chaperone referred to a man who was to supervise, discipline, and watch out for a boy. Galatians 3:25 Or custodian Galatians 3:29 Or seed Galatians 4:7 Some witnesses to the text read an heir through God.

Aflevering 3. In 1979 is ABBA opnieuw terug in Nederland. Het concert in Ahoy' maakt grote indruk, onder andere op Monique van der Ster, die in haar slaapzak voor de deuren van de concerthal ligt. Het privé-optreden waarvan Tom Steenbergen na die show achter de schermen getuige is, vormt een onvergetelijk moment. Niet veel later mag Ilona van Hilst van de Nederlandse ABBA-fanclub met een televisieploeg naar het ABBA-kantoor in Stockholm, waar ze Björn en Agnetha ontmoet. Pat Ashton bezoekt Frida twee keer thuis en krijgt een uitnodiging om mee te gaan naar de studio, waar ABBA haar laatste opnamen maakt. Superfan Inez reist haar idolen overal achterna, wordt au pair in Stockholm en belandt in Stockholm aan het tuinhek van Björn. We staan stil bij de laatste, beladen Nederlandse televisie-interviews die Mies Bouwman en Annette van Trigt met de bandleden hebben. Ondertussen probeert Mandy een nieuwe afspraak met Benny te krijgen. ABBA in Nederland - Poplegendes in de Polder werd gemaakt door Anne Hurenkamp en Mandy Huydts.

When Loving Hard Feels Like Too Much | Livvy LandinA few easy ways to describe Livvy Landin:She's 18. She acts. She models. She grew up between Georgia and Michigan after being born in Colorado. She went to IMTA in Los Angeles this year and came home with first-place singing and acting awards. You can mention Michael Jackson, Amy Winehouse, and ABBA. All true. All useful.But the more interesting story is that an 18-year-old woman just out of high school sat down to write her debut single and somehow landed on the emotional economics of loving somebody who keeps convincing you that your heart is taking up too much room. And that song became an American Songwriters Award nominee.Feature her, and you'll find there's considerably more going on here than another pretty girl making pop music.Linkshttps://www.instagram.com/livvyplandin/Tagspodcast for creatives,creative podcast,podcast creator interviews,professional podcast,creative podcasts,podcast host interviews,creative podcast ideas,Acting,Actor / Actress,Model,Music,pop artist,recording artist,SingerSupport PEG by checking out our Sponsors:Download and use Newsly for free now from www.newsly.me or from the link in the description, and use promo code “GHOST” and receive a 1-month free premium subscription.The best tool for getting podcast guests:https://podmatch.com/signup/phantomelectricghostSubscribe to our Instagram for exclusive content:https://www.instagram.com/expansive_sound_experiments/Subscribe to our YouTube https://youtube.com/@phantomelectricghost?si=rEyT56WQvDsAoRprRSShttps://anchor.fm/s/3b31908/podcast/rssSubstackhttps://substack.com/@phantomelectricghost?utm_source=edit-profile-page

A year after the St. Louis post-hardcore band Foxing announced its indefinite hiatus, singer/songwriter Conor Murphy is making music inspired by what he listens to, in his spare time, in his other band, Smidley. The optimistic tunes and oftentimes melancholy lyrics of “Murphy Horse” — Smidley's third album — reflect changes in Conor's life, and the evolution of his relationships with the people closest to him. STLPR's Chad Davis sat down with Murphy ahead of the album's September 25th release. They discussed what the last year has looked like for Murphy since Foxing started its break and Smidley has taken on new life.

Jacinda Ardern is a history-maker.As Prime Minister of New Zealand at 37, she became only the second woman in the world to give birth while in office. But it was her leadership style that defined her time at the top, leading with empathy and kindness in the face of back-to-back tragedies, and showing the strength of coming together.From growing up in small-town New Zealand singing country and western duets with her sister at the local community hall, to raging to Smashing Pumpkins in her first car with a discman plugged into the cassette deck, Ardern's musical taste has always been eclectic and deeply personal. She's the teenager who loved alternative music and heavy metal while being a dedicated student rep raised in the Mormon faith, and the world leader who chose a drum and bass track as her walk-on song.Her career path was never straightforward. She ran from the possibility of becoming a politician, buying a one-way ticket to New York to escape the suggestion she should run for office. But a sense of responsibility (what she calls her "oversized sense of duty"), kept pulling her back. In 2017, everything changed in a single year: a by-election, deputy leadership, then the top job itself, all while secretly pregnant. She led her country through the Christchurch mosque shootings, the Whakaari White Island eruption, and a global pandemic, all while insisting that being human is not a weakness.This episode was filmed for Season 5 of Take 5 with Zan Rowe at the Australian Chamber Orchestra's studios on Sydney Harbour. Jacinda caught the ferry to the location, rolling up without any entourage, proving just how down-to-earth she is. She was candid, emotional, and generous in exploring her extraordinary life across five songs. The theme that emerged was clear: optimism as a courageous act, and the enduring power of being useful.Jacinda Ardern's song choices: Smashing Pumpkins - 'Bullet With Butterfly Wings'Fat Freddy's Drop - 'Wandering Eye'Cat Stevens - 'Peace Train'The Mountain Goats - 'This Year'Shapeshifter - 'Stars'00:00 Introduction: Jacinda Ardern Made History00:54 "They Are Us": Leading with Empathy and Kindness01:04 Filming Take 5 with a Former PM01:56 Extended Podcast Edit: The Most Eclectic Song List of the Season02:02 Childhood in Rural New Zealand: The Record Player at Home02:26 Roy Orbison, ABBA, and Parents' "Slightly Different Era" Taste03:02 The Country and Western Club: Every Friday Night at the Community Hall03:26 Singing Duets with Sister Louise: "She's the One Holding the Microphone"04:03 "Don't It Make My Brown Eyes Blue" and the Christmas Special04:58 Sister's Pop vs. Her Alternative: Cypress Hill, Rage Against the Machine05:11 Smashing Pumpkins: 'Bullet With Butterfly Wings'05:53 Growing Up in Morrinsville: Dairy Farms and $20 a Week at the Fish and Chip Shop06:02 The Discman in the Car: Cassette Adapters and Judder Bars06:39 The Multi-Change CD Player: "The Most Exciting Thing"07:02 The Walkman and Sister Louise: "I've Never Gotten Over It"07:44 Playing Every CD to Death: "You Valued Every One"08:01 Teenage Angst: Rage Against the Machine, Metallica, Pantera, Nine Inch Nails08:21 Smashing Pumpkins: "Both the Lyrics That Spoke to Teenage Angst and Great Music"08:52 Melon Collie and the Infinite Sadness: A Double Album for the Multi-CD Player09:15 "Despite All My Rage, I'm Still Just a Rat in a Cage"09:29 An Earnest Teenager: Raised in Religion, Student Rep, Working Hard10:13 Not a Headbanger: "My Mother Would've Taken Me to a Chiropractor"10:44 Parents Respected Their Own Musical Taste and Belief Systems11:26 Born in Hamilton, Then Murupara: First Observations of Poverty and Inequality12:00 "A Place That Made Me Quite Political"12:29 Writing the Book: How Do You End Up in Politics?12:48 "All of It Contributes to How You Come to Be the Person You Are"13:15 The Kinship Between Australia and New Zealand13:44 Empathy and Awareness: Seeing What Affects People14:17 Father the Policeman: "Power as a Responsibility"14:40 "Being Useful Is a Driving Force"15:04 Fat Freddy's Drop: 'Wandering Eye'15:13 Moving to Wellington in the Early 2000s15:46 Sworn In as PM: Fat Freddy's Drop Playing on Parliament Steps16:08 Carpooling on a Bus Instead of Crown Cars16:33 "Sitting at the Base of the Steps, Just Playing for Us"17:00 A Full Circle Moment: Unexpected PM, Secretly Pregnant18:29 First Job in Parliament: Interning in Wellington18:57 "I Couldn't Possibly Be a Politician"19:36 People Identifying the Leader in Her Before She Did20:22 The Beehive: Flatting and a Normal Life in Her 20s21:06 Still a Practicing Mormon in Her Early 20s21:25 Cognitive Dissonance: Progressive Politics and the Church21:50 Campaigning for Equality on Saturday, Church on Sunday22:02 Leaving the Church: "Something Had to Give"23:08 Running from Politics: A One-Way Ticket to New York23:36 London, Then Coming Back to New Zealand23:55 "Two Dueling Wolves": Imposter Syndrome vs. Responsibility24:18 Putting Herself Forward: "Turns Out I Was Wrong"24:42 2017: Everything Happened in One Year24:47 By-Election, Deputy Leader, Then Leader Nominated25:28 Waiting for Winston Peters: Finding Out on the 6pm News25:39 Secretly Pregnant During Coalition Negotiations27:27 Malcolm Turnbull Calling to Congratulate27:49 Cat Stevens: 'Peace Train'28:11 Mrs. Bean's Class: Bursting Into Tears as a Child28:55 Yusuf Islam Coming to New Zealand After the March 15 Terror Attack29:30 Peace Train at the Memorial Service: "A Song of Hope in Hard Times"30:00 Feeling the Same Way as a Child and as an Adult31:18 Has Hope Always Led You Through Your Life?31:35 Ernest Shackleton: "Optimism Is True Moral Courage"32:10 Actively Choosing to Be an Optimistic Person33:13 The Christchurch Mosque Shootings: Finding Out in Bits34:01 Frustration and Anger: "A Manifesto of Hate"34:47 "Simply a Human Response": Why Emotion Isn't Weakness35:56 Learning from the Muslim Community: "They Opened Their Arms"37:25 "A Sadness I'll Carry for the Rest of My Life"37:42 Processing Grief: "I'll Never Set That Down"38:21 The Mountain Goats: 'This Year'38:39 The Song of the Year Tradition39:18 "I Am Gonna Make It Through This Year If It Kills Me"40:09 Keeping the Faith in Opposition: Purpose and Team Cohesion41:19 Christchurch, Whakaari, COVID: "It Was Relentless"42:52 Car Time Was Solo Time: Losing That as Prime Minister44:04 Elton John's "Still Standing" and the Earthquake on Live TV44:56 "The Universe Has to Let Up at Some Point"45:02 Knowing It Was Time to Go45:43 "Nothing Left in the Tank"46:03 Not "Spending More Time With Family": The Language of Leaving46:54 "I Am Human.

Season 3, Episode 6In this episode, Michael and Zach continue their series through Galatians by examining Paul's movement from slavery to sonship in Galatians 4:1–11. Paul describes God's people under the Law as heirs who, while still under guardianship, function much like servants awaiting the time appointed by the Father. But when the fullness of time came, God sent His Son to redeem those under the Law and bring them into His family through adoption. The discussion explores what Paul means by the “elemental things of the world,” the significance of Christ being born under the Law, and the remarkable privilege of believers receiving the Spirit and crying, “Abba, Father.” Michael and Zach then examine Paul's warning that the Galatians' return to religious observance as a basis for righteousness is not spiritual progress but a return to slavery. The episode ultimately asks why Christians would try to gain through religious performance what God has already freely given them in Christ: sonship, belonging, and an inheritance.Find our videocast here: https://youtu.be/wgd9zqUite0Merch here: https://take-2-podcast.printify.me/Music from #Uppbeat (free for Creators!):⁠https://uppbeat.io/t/reakt-music/deep-stone⁠License code: 2QZOZ2YHZ5UTE7C8Find more Take 2 Theology content at http://www.take2theology.com0:00 Opening Banter: Sprinting and “Train Like a Cheetah”8:17 Galatians 4 — From Slaves to Sons10:13 The Heir Who Lives Like a Slave12:18 What Are the “Elemental Things”?14:44 “When the Fullness of Time Came”18:43 Redeemed from Slavery and Adopted as Sons23:59 “Abba, Father” — Sons and Heirs27:03 Why Go Back to Slavery?33:07 Summary and Key Takeaways

Episode #223The Truth | Matthew 7:24–27What did Jesus mean when He said, “You will know the truth, and the truth will set you free”?In Episode #223 of the Way of the Bible podcast, we continue Response to the Sermon on the Mount Part 2 by focusing on The Truth upon which godly wisdom is founded. Jesus describes the wise builder in Matthew 7:24–27 as the person who hears His words and puts them into practice. But what transforms hearing into a life built upon the Rock?We begin by returning to Romans 6 and 7 and the believer's relationship with sin. Grace is never presented as permission to continue deliberately in sin. First John reminds believers that when we sin, Jesus Christ is our advocate with the Father. Yet Scripture simultaneously calls those born of God away from a life characterized by continuing sin. This brings us to Jesus' words in John 8.Jesus tells Jews who had believed Him that if they hold to His teaching, they are truly His disciples. Then they will know the truth, and the truth will set them free. When they question what freedom He means, Jesus identifies the bondage: “Everyone who sins is a slave to sin.”Then comes the promise: “If the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.”There is an important distinction here. It is possible to possess knowledge of the truth without intimately knowing The Truth.What is The Truth?In a name, Jesus. In an event, the Gospel.God loved the world and gave His Son so that whoever believes in Him will not perish but have eternal life. This leads us into the magnificent eighth chapter of Romans.For those who are in Christ Jesus, there is now no condemnation. Through Christ, the law of the Spirit who gives life has set believers free from the law of sin and death. We have died with Christ, been raised with Him into new life, and received the Holy Spirit who empowers us to live before God.Paul then contrasts two ways of living. The mind governed by the flesh is death, while the mind governed by the Spirit is life and peace. And here we reach the heart of this episode.Knowing The Truth isn't merely knowing facts about Jesus. It is intimately knowing Christ and possessing His Spirit. Romans 8 declares that those who are led by the Spirit of God are children of God. The Spirit brings about our adoption, and by Him we cry:“Abba, Father.”The Spirit Himself testifies with our spirit that we are God's children—and if children, then heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ. This brings us all the way back to Jesus' two builders.Two people can hear the same truth. One hears and responds; the other hears and does not. One builds upon the Rock. The other remains upon sand.The question, therefore, isn't simply:Have you heard The Truth?The deeper question is:Do you KNOW The Truth?Because Jesus Christ doesn't merely reveal truth.He sets us free.

The ultra fun musical is here through Sunday at the Orpheum and one of the cast members joined Vineeta to discuss the musical with the wonderful music of ABBA.

This week on Baxie's Musical Podcast I'll speak with the brilliant David Myhr—formerly of Swedish power band The Merrymakers! David is about to release his first solo album in nearly six years called “Everything is all About You”! It's a fantastic album filled with the sort of stunning melodic hooks and rich harmonies that have been his trademark for the last 30+ years. David not only talks about the new album, he also talks about his former band The Merrymakers, the staggering international success of Swedish songwriters like Abba and Max Martin (Go on. Look him up), but also about working with the reclusive Andy Sturmer from Jellyfish. Which, as you may know, is one of my all-time favorites! And, as it turns out, is one of David's favorites as well. Listen on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, and on the Rock102 app. Brought to you by Metro Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram of Chicopee

What does it mean to truly live as a child of God? In Romans 8:14–17, Paul points us to the work of the Holy Spirit, who assures believers that they have been adopted into the family of God. Those who belong to Christ are no longer slaves living in fear, but sons and daughters who can confidently cry out, “Abba! Father!” We have been given a new relationship with God, a new identity, and the promise of an inheritance that is secure in Christ.The Spirit's work in our lives gives us assurance of our adoption as He leads us to put sin to death, frees us from the fear of condemnation, draws us into intimate fellowship with our Father, and gives us confidence in the glory that is still to come. Our hope is not wishful thinking, but a settled certainty rooted in the promises and character of God.In this sermon, we'll see how the Holy Spirit leads the children of God: 1. Into Holiness — the Character of Sonship 2. Into Freedom — the Confidence of Sonship 3. Into Intimacy — the Communion of Sonship 4. Into Hope — the Certainty of SonshipBecause of Christ, believers can know that they are loved, accepted, and secure in the family of God. We are His children, heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ, looking forward with certainty to the day when we will be glorified with Him.

Topic: Adoption into the Kingdom Whiskey Review: Old Dominick Bonded Check out our Substack: Manhood Neat Podcast  Follow us on all your podcast platforms and: Instagram: @manhoodneat X: Manhood Neat (@ManhoodNeat) / X Youtube: Manhood, Neat Podcast - YouTube Reach out: manhood.neat@gmail.com   Show Notes: The Highest Privilege Is Knowing God as Father Rom. 8: 15-16 “15 For you did not receive the spirit of slavery to fall back into fear, but you have received the Spirit of adoption as sons, by whom we cry, “Abba! Father!” 16 The Spirit himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God,” Adoption is the highest privilege of the Christian life. To know cry out “Abba, Father” We are no longer slaves living in fear We are sons and daughters living within relationship A person can believe: God tolerates me God has legally pardoned me God is no longer angry All this while never experiencing the deeper reality of: God wants me as His child As we grow deeper in our relationship with God we no longer see him as Judge or King, but as Father Our Experience of Earthly Fathers Can Shape How We See God Our earliest understanding of fatherhood often influences our understanding of God For some, an earthly father may have modeled: Affection Protection Faithfulness Wisdom Presence For others, it may be: Distance Disappointment Harshness Absence Failure God is not limited by the failures of our earthly fathers God defines perfect fatherhood This matters because sometimes we project human weakness onto God: “My father was distant, so God must be distant” “My father was hard to please, so God must be hard to please” My father abandoned me, so eventually God will too” We need to allow God to correct distorted assumptions about what a father is Abba, Means Intimacy, Trust, and Dependence Rom. 8:15-16; Mark 14:36 “36 And he said, “Abba, Father, all things are possible for you. Remove this cup from me. Yet not what I will, but what you will.” Jesus himself called God “Abba, Father” not “Daddy” This is a very intimate way of addressing God: Trust Dependence Security Familiarity Relationship Jesus used this language in Gethsemane, at one of the darkest moments of His earthly life. Under unbearable pressure, Jesus approached the Father from a place of intimacy Through the Holy Spirit, believers are invited into that same relationship The Christian life is more than knowing truths about God.  We learn to pray as a child speaking to a Father, not as an employee presenting a report to a supervisor.  In Christ, We Share in the Father's Delight Mark 1:11 “1 And a voice came from heaven, “You are my beloved Son;[a] with you I am well pleased.” Matthew 3:17 “17 and behold, a voice from heaven said, “This is my beloved Son,[a] with whom I am well pleased.” At Jesus' baptism, the Father declares His love and pleasure in the Son.  “You are my Son. I love you. I am pleased with you. Because believers are adopted through Christ, we are welcomed into the relationship the Son enjoys with the Father. We become recipients of the Father's affection. We can know ourselves as: The object of God's love The focus of His care The recipients of His delight Full members of His family This is an important distinction. It is more than God forgives me. Its God delights in me.  Adoption goes beyond tolerance. God welcomes us with affection We learn to live from belovedness instead of constantly performing for approval. We Were Spiritual Orphans, but Christ Brought Us Home Gal. 4:4-7 “4 But when the fullness of time had come, God sent forth his Son, born of woman, born under the law, 5 to redeem those who were under the law, so that we might receive adoption as sons. 6 And because you are sons, God has sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, crying, “Abba! Father!” 7 So you are no longer a slave, but a son, and if a son, then an heir through God.” Jesus is the natural son of the Father. We become sons and daughters through adoption Sin made humanity spiritual orphans and separated us from the Father Christ came to restore that relationship The Son of God became human so that human beings could become children of God.(CS Lewis) Through Christ's sacrifice: Sin is forgiven The relationship is restored The Spirit enters our life We cry “Abba, Father” We are welcomed home This is the story of God acting in Christ to bring His list children home We stop living with an orphan mentality We no longer need to scramble for identity, security or belonging as though we are alone.  We have a Father Adoption Means We Are Heirs Rom. 8:17 “17 and if children, then heirs—heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ, provided we suffer with him in order that we may also be glorified with him.” Paul says believers are: Heirs of God Co-heris with Christ We are promised: Resurrection bodies Renewed creation Freedom from death Freedom from suffering Eternal fellowship with God's family The greatest inheritance is God himself We do not inherit things from God We inherit life with God Our hope is much bigger than “going to heaven” Our destiny is to share eternity in the life, glory, and love of the Father, Son, and Spirit This is a mindset shift.  This allows us to hold earthly possessions and disappointments more loosely because our deepest inheritance cannot be lost.  Adoption Brings Us Back to What We Were Created For 1 John 3:1-2 “See what kind of love the Father has given to us, that we should be called children of God; and so we are. The reason why the world does not know us is that it did not know him. 2 Beloved, we are God's children now, and what we will be has not yet appeared; but we know that when he appears[a] we shall be like him, because we shall see him as he is.” John 17:24-26 “ Father, I desire that they also, whom you have given me, may be with me where I am, to see my glory that you have given me because you loved me before the foundation of the world. 25 O righteous Father, even though the world does not know you, I know you, and these know that you have sent me. 26 I made known to them your name, and I will continue to make it known, that the love with which you have loved me may be in them, and I in them.” We talked about being made in God's image. We were created for relationship Sin shattered that relationship Grace pursued us Redemption paid the price Justification changed our standing Adoption brings us home Through the Holy Spirit, the image of God is being restored in us as we are brought back into relationship with the Father Salvation is not simply escaping punishment It opens the front door and welcomes us home It is the restoration of God's original intention for humanity Justification says: you are no longer condemned Adoption says: you belong here Questions When you think of God as Father, what emotions or assumptions immediately surface? How has your experience with your earthly father shaped your view of God? Is it hard to believe that God delights in me? Why? Calling God “Abba” does that change the way you pray? What would it look like to live as someone who is already at home with God?

Prayer is more than words—it is an offering that rises before God. In The Aroma of Prayer, we are reminded of the power and importance of coming into His presence with a sincere and surrendered heart.Our prayers, worship, and devotion become an aroma before the Lord. Through prayer, we draw closer to Him, seek His will, and allow Him to transform our hearts and circumstances.

SUMMARY: where we're at in Romans & where we're going in this passage RELEVANCE: why does this matter to me? THEME: You cry "Abba! Father!" because you already are a child of God: led by the Spirit, adopted into the family, and never left to cry it alone. THE EVIDENCE: YOU ARE LED (V. 14) THE TESTIMONY: YOU CRY "ABBA! FATHER!" (v.15) THE SECOND WITNESS: THE SPIRIT SAYS IT WITH YOU (V. 16)

How we gather matters. Gathering together as believers is more than simply meeting in the same place—it is an opportunity to worship God, encourage one another, grow in His Word, and strengthen the unity of the body of Christ.In How We Gather, we explore the biblical principles behind coming together as God's people and the importance of creating an atmosphere where His presence is honored and every believer can grow in faith.

In early July 1985, ¾ (or 75%) of the “Fistful of Metal” era of Anthrax (Charlie Benante, Scott Ian, and Dan Lilker) joined Billy Milano in the studio to form the legendary crossover thrash band S.O.D. (aka STORMTROOPERS OF DEATH) and in less than one week, recorded and mixed one of the most notoriously hilarious thrash albums of all time, SPEAK ENGLISH OR DIE.    In the highly unlikely event that you're thinking “I don't think I've ever heard of S.O.D…”, just think back to the good old days of Headbangers Ball in the late 80's, with all of the vintage black and white film footage of trains slamming into each other head on, rodeos gone wrong, cars crashing, and failed BMX stunts. The bumper music that was the soundtrack to all of that visual chaos was actually from SPEAK ENGLISH OR DIE.    If you're going to Rocklahoma this year, please be sure to stop by Camp Corruption and say “High” for us, get fully and properly relaxed, and then prepare to “blast ABBA in the middle of the night” before you JOIN US for a walk down metal memory lane as we celebrate one of the finest, rawest, and funniest albums in thrash metal history as we attempt to SPEAK ENGLISH OR DIE talking about STORMTROOPERS OF DEATH.

Daniel Mingo has spent decades following Jesus while navigating unwanted same-sex attraction, sexual addiction, marriage, recovery, and ministry.In this conversation, Daniel joins Brady Cone to share his story and discuss what it actually looks like to pursue Christ when same-sex attraction doesn't simply disappear. They talk about prayer, repentance, accountability, identity in Christ, sanctification, and why Daniel rejects the label “gay Christian.”They also discuss Side B Christianity, Revoice, the difference between temptation and identity, and why genuine discipleship requires more than simply changing behavior.This is a conversation about what it means to deny yourself, take up your cross, follow Jesus, and trust God with the process of sanctification—even when that process takes a lifetime.Learn more about Daniel Mingo and ABBA's Delight.Timestamps:00:00 Introduction03:00 Daniel's Story of Same-Sex Attraction09:08 Following Jesus While Attractions Remained17:00 Marriage, Temptation & Secret Struggles27:20 Confessing to His Wife29:17 Recognizing Sexual Addiction36:59 God Calls Daniel Into Ministry44:22 Is Change Actually Possible?47:24 “Pray Away the Gay” vs. Side B Christianity49:44 Why Daniel Rejects the “Gay Christian” Identity51:17 Daniel's Warning About the Gay Christian Movement54:15 The Problem With Side B Christianity56:18 Sanctification Takes Time1:02:48 Why Discipleship Requires Community1:03:37 Helping Christians With Same-Sex AttractionJoin us weekly as we strive help people embrace God's standard for sexuality! Other ways to listen:https://linktr.ee/calibrateconversations#Christianity #SameSexAttraction #FollowingJesus

Episode 117: "As proof that you are children, God sent the spirit of his Son into our hearts, crying out, 'Abba, Father!' So you are no longer a slave but a child, and if a child then also an heir, through God." - Galatians 4:6–7---Tune in to this episode as author and host Julia Monnin shares some thoughts on what it truly means to be "no longer a slave but a child."

I wonder what comes to mind for most people when they think about the Ten Commandments. Studies have shown that most folks are unable to name more than one or two of them. I bet many others would probably have to admit that when they think of the Ten Commandments, and this may just be, you know, thinking about the older generations, but for many of us, I imagine some when they hear about the Ten Commandments, they think of Charlton Heston with a gray bouffant hairdo, wearing a bathrobe, and special effects in the background. Others might have a visceral reaction to a phrase that, for them, conjures up feelings of a threatening, judgmental, angry God. But my guess is that most people probably don't think of the Ten Commandments much at all, which may be what drives some people to make such a fuss about trying to get these things posted in prominent places. Have you noticed the spate of legislation being forwarded in a number of, I will have to say, mostly southern states to place the Ten Commandments in public schools and buildings? Have you been following this? It's a whole situation, friends. It's a whole situation. The youngest among us may think that that sort of thing is a new phenomenon. It is not. A quick search revealed that perhaps the first large scale campaign to mandate public posting was launched in 1950. The first time the Supreme Court took up the matter was 1980. And then there's Roy Moore, the twice elected, twice removed justice of the Alabama Supreme Court, I won't go into all of that, but I can tell you if you're curious, I'm sure. During Moore's first stint on the bench, beginning in 2001, he waged and lost a stubborn fight to keep a Ten Commandments monument in his courthouse. One thing I remember about this episode is the fact that after being removed as Chief Justice, Judge Moore continued this crusade through speaking engagements and would bring along the Ten Commandments monument with him wherever he went to give a talk. Now, I'm all for visuals to help you support your message, but get this: the monument weighs 5,280 pounds, roughly just a little more than 500 pounds a commandment. So Judge Moore would lug this massive thing across the country on the back of a flatbed truck. You cannot make this stuff up. It was reported that even the five-ton crane that was used to move the monument off the truck buckled visibly under its weight. What an amazing mental image, really. I mean, it's so appropriate, since many of us may have a sense that the commandments are heavy and dangerous, that they hang over people like an ominous threat just waiting to crush you with their weight the minute you step out of line. This is the way that some folks use the commandments and the scriptures in general, as a heavy yoke that the masses, regardless of culture or creed, need to have publicly strapped to their backs and nailed to their walls so that they'll get into shape, lift those heavy laws, carry those burdensome commandments, and do three sets of ten repetitions every other day. Weightlifting morality. That's what that is. However, I don't think we have to look too far to find a challenge to this way of thinking. Just look back at the text we read today from Exodus. The recital of the Ten Commandments begins this way: "I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery." This is God's reminder to the people of who God is and what God has done. God is no dictator. God doesn't impose the weight of unfair laws upon people. The commandments are not a mandate to enslave God's people. God is the one who has brought the people out of slavery, who has unburdened them from unjust laws. God is the one who has given the people freedom. But I find that many folk focus less on that and more on the "thou shalt not" of the commandments. Why do they have to be so negative? If God cares enough about us to set us free, I imagine some people thinking, then why does it seem like God is trying to control us, to limit our freedom? Now let's think about it for just a minute. Jesus experienced God as Abba, as father. All you mothers and fathers out there, all of us who have spent significant time caring for children, just think about when the children are very young. They're curious about everything. They want to touch everything. They want to put everything in their mouth. They want to get into anything and everything. And as a loving caregiver, you are trying to keep them alive. You want to do everything you can to keep them safe. And so you set boundaries for your children to keep them safe. However, we do know any parent will tell you that children always push against the boundary. Can I get an amen from anyone? Children will always push against the boundary. I will say as a pastor, people push against the boundary. We really do not like to be told no. But really, only the most naive among us will assume that true freedom means total freedom from restraints. I just think of our dog, Daisy. If Daisy were allowed to run completely free with no restraints, she might catch sight of another dog and dash across our busy street in front of the house to chase it, and that would get Daisy killed for sure. Because we love Daisy, we provide restraints that keep her safe, that help her enjoy the world in ways that are good for her and for the other creatures around her. God, who has brought people out of slavery, is setting some boundaries for the people so that they will remain free, so that they may live in peace and safety together, so that they may experience the fullness of life. And this is the thing about God's commandments: every "thou shalt not," every no, is protecting a yes. God says no to the things that enslave us, that diminish us, or destroy life together, so that we can say yes to the things that make life free and whole for everyone. The no is never the point. "Thou shalt not" is not the point. The life God is protecting, the freedom God is protecting, the dignity God is protecting, that is the point. With this framework in mind, we see that the commandments might sound like this: the no to other gods, the no to idols and their empty promises, protects a yes to trusting the God whose word is good, to trusting the God who sets us free, to recognizing what is truly holy. No to using God's name to manipulate or to threaten or to serve our own agenda means yes to honoring God with humility and with reverence. No to endless work, to treating ourselves or anyone else as machines for production, is a yes to Sabbath, to rest, to delight, recreation, and remembering that the world does not stop turning because you take a break. Remember, a pause here, remember who God is speaking to in these commandments: former slaves, people whose lives had been measured by how much they produced. God says, you're free now, you can stop. No to dishonoring those from whom we have received life means yes to honoring those who came before us, while telling the truth about what we've inherited, and choosing what we will bring forward. No to violence and to the destruction of life is a yes to reverence, to life, and for life. No to betrayal and broken promises and the cheapening of intimacy is a yes to faithfulness to the covenants that we make, yes to trust and intimacy cherished. No to taking what belongs to another is a yes to respecting our neighbors and building a community where theft is unnecessary because all have enough. No to lies, slander, and words that destroy another person is a yes to truth spoken in love and words that build one another up. No to coveting, to allowing someone else's life or possessions to make us dissatisfied with our own, is a yes to gratitude, to generosity, and to rejoicing in our neighbors' good. Every no protects a yes. Every boundary opens space for life to be lived well, and a world shaped by all those yeses, what a wonderful world that would be. That world isn't here yet. We still go so far astray. Think again with me about Sabbath. God says to people who have been slaves, whose worth was measured by their productivity, you can stop. And not only you, did you notice? It's a great part of that commandment. Not just you, your children, your workers, the immigrant living among you. Even your animals get to stop. Give them a break. Everybody gets to rest. Now imagine taking that commandment seriously in a culture where people work multiple jobs and still can't make ends meet, where paid leave is a luxury for many, where productivity so easily becomes a measure of our human worth. It's one thing to post the commandment on a classroom wall, but are we willing to build a society in which people can actually live it? And we could ask that question not just about Sabbath, but about the one about idolatry, or truth telling, or violence, or faithfulness, slander, greed, and whether our neighbors have enough. Even after all this time, we continue to misunderstand. We can turn even the commandments themselves into monuments, into idols, things to display and defend, rather than a way of life to practice. Are we hopeless? Sometimes I just wonder, are we hopeless? Is the answer to be found in posting bigger and heavier versions of the Ten Commandments wherever possible? I don't believe we're hopeless. Newsflash: I don't believe we're hopeless. And I don't think, surprise, surprise, I don't think our hope lies in mandated public posting of the commandments. Our hope is found in the public living of the commandments. Of course, to live the ways of God, we need to know them. We need to learn and study what they really mean for us in our time and place. We need to understand the law of God and teach the law of God in appropriate ways and in appropriate contexts. We need to understand that the commandments set us free to live together in such a way that nobody has to be enslaved, exploited, violated, betrayed, robbed, lied about, or consumed by another person's greed. Do I want to say that one again? Can I say that one again? There was a lot in there. Let me just say it again: the commandments set us free. They set us free. Oh, Lord, I'm going to say it again, they set us free to live together in such a way that nobody has to be enslaved, exploited, violated, betrayed, robbed, lied about, or consumed by another person's greed. The more we learn and live and teach the commandments in ways that reveal their freeing and life-giving purpose, the less they'll seem like stones hanging over people's heads, 500 pounds a commandment, ready to crush or imprison us. The more we live according to God's way, the closer we will be to that world of all those yeses, a world that is safe and peaceful and whole. To see how to live according to the law, we only have to look as far as Jesus of Nazareth. Jesus, the fulfillment of the law in flesh, says, "Come to me, all you who are weary and heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls." We know that this teaching of Jesus doesn't mean the way will be easy. All you have to do is love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind, and with all your strength, and your neighbor as yourself, and you have to do 25 sets of 100 repetitions daily for the rest of your life. Doesn't mean it's easy to take on the yoke of Christ. It does mean that Jesus gives us grace and strength and stamina to live according to the way of God, not so that we might finally earn our freedom, because God has already set us free. The commandments show us how to live together in ways that honor the life and the dignity of all. That is the weight God asks us to carry, not 5,000 pounds of stones strapped to our backs, but the light burden of learning day by day how to live God's freedom together. May that be so, and may the day come soon. Amen. Beloved, my invitation for us today, and as we go into the week: I was wrestling and praying about this, and there are two things I want to suggest. One is that you consider the commandments. If you haven't read them over, take a look at them again and ask, is there one of these things that I need to study and pray over so that I can receive the freedom that God wants to give me through its practice? That's an invitation, take a look at them again. Some of it's a little confusing. You can read my sermon for help, but think about it: is there one of these commandments that you just need to sit with, to discover where God wants to give you more freedom through practicing that commandment? And the second invitation I want to extend today, and encourage you to think about as we move closer into this fall season, is: how are you going to stay close to the word of God? How are you going to stay close to the practices that sustain life and life together, through your participation here at Foundry Church? Begin to pray about it. Look at those opportunities that are coming up for service, for learning, for community, and begin to get clear. Make some decisions, or make a decision, not more. We have to make too many decisions. Make one decision: where are you going to, what are you going to do, to help you really stay connected in ways that help sustain your life and your freedom? That's my invitation today. Amen.
