We gathered to study fellowship, love, and spiritual growth through Galatians and 1 John. We reflected on how true fellowship is Christ-centered, requiring us to lay aside personal agendas and embrace self-sacrificial love. Using the story of Mary and Martha, we considered how humility, sitting at Jesus' feet, and receiving His life represent the heart of genuine fellowship. We examined the dangers of serving with personal motives, recognizing that such distractions hinder intimacy with Christ and disrupt unity in the local assembly. God's Word was seen as precise, convicting, and protective—sharper than any reasoning of man. We concluded that teachability, submission to proper teaching, and prayer are essential to avoid pseudo-service and to experience real fellowship in Christ.

Ephesians 5 shows us that marriage is not just about husband and wife, but meant to be a picture of something bigger: how Christ loves His Bride, the Church. His love is agape - sacrificial, faithful, and steady. It calls us to lay down pride, to forgive, to serve, and to live in a way that points back to Him. This matters because we live in a world where it's easy to walk away when things get hard. But Jesus never walks away from His Church, even in our brokenness. If we belong to Him, we can't treat His Bride like an option. Our hope is in the One who loved us first and showed us what real commitment looks like. Join us as Stacey Cutshall reminds us that loving God and loving His Church are not separate. Even when the Church is messy or painful, we're still called to love it. Because when the Church loves like this, even through hurt and hardship, it becomes the clearest picture of Jesus to a watching world.

In The Long Game of Spiritual Awakening, Rev Lee Wolak explores how true transformation is not a one-time miracle but a deliberate, ongoing choice. Spiritual awakening is not about waiting for chance or luck—it is about consciously choosing to meet life as it is, moment by moment, instead of falling back into unconscious habits and patterns. In this talk, you'll learn how lasting growth requires presence, awareness, and the courage to consistently choose truth over comfort, alignment over avoidance, and conscious choice over automatic reaction. This video will inspire you to see transformation as a lifelong practice of awakening, not a quick fix. If you are ready to break free from old patterns, embrace personal growth, and discover the power of mindful living, this teaching will help you step boldly into the life you are meant to create.

Coleman continues his journey through Hebrews 10:19-25 by focusing on the next two “Let us” statements:Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess (v. 23)Let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds (v. 24)In a heartfelt message dedicated to McKenna, a new believer,  Donald highlights the power of relationship over religion, emphasizing that our walk with Christ is not about striving—but about staying connected, encouraged, and rooted in hope.In this episode, you'll hear Donald:✅ Explore the role of faith, hope, and Agape love in sustaining Christian community✅ Contrast external religion with internal transformation through Christ✅ Illustrate the tabernacle as a symbol of moving from separation to sacred intimacy✅ Call us into a rhythm of receiving God's love and releasing it to others✅ Highlight that encouragement is not optional—it's vital as we see the Day approachingWith scriptural depth, personal reflections, and the backdrop of God's original call to spiritual renewal,  Donald encourages us to embrace the second and third invitations of the open sanctuary: unwavering hope and spiritual encouragement.Join us as we respond to God's call to draw near with unwavering hope and spiritual encouragement, rooted in Christ and anchored in Agape."Have Questions, Send us a Message" This podcast is a production of The Center for Biblical Coaching and Leadership.

Consecration is more than a word—it's a call to be set apart for God's purpose. To consecrate is to dedicate your life fully to the Lord, laying down your own desires and choosing obedience over compromise. In this episode, we explore what it truly means to live consecrated: the proof of consecration in surrender, the connection between obedience and love, and how God's promotions are tied to instructions. Through scriptures like Matthew 17, John 14, and 1 Samuel 15, we uncover the demands, tests, and power of consecration. True consecration isn't passive—it's a daily decision to deny self, live differently from the world, and glorify God in all we do.

Forgiveness is not a one-time act—it's the daily practice that keeps love alive, relationships thriving, and the heart open to deeper connection. In this powerful spiritual talk, Rev. Lee Wolak reveals why forgiveness is the lifeblood of lasting love, how resentment destroys intimacy, and how conscious spiritual practice can free us from the past. Discover how forgiveness restores presence, empowers growth, and awakens true partnership.  Sign up for my daily thought and weekly newsletter by clicking this link: https://www.agapespiritualcenter.com/free-affirmations If you find value in what Agape offers—spiritually, emotionally, and in community—consider becoming a supporting member.

Miroslav Volf explores agapic love, creation's goodness, and God's grief—an alternative to despair, power, and world rejection.“When a wanted child is born, the immense joy of many parents often renders them mute, but their radiant faces speak of surprised delight: ‘Just look at you! It is so very good that you are here!' This delight precedes any judgment about the beauty, functionality, or moral rectitude of the child. The child's sheer existence, the mere fact of it, is ‘very good.' That's what I propose God, too, exclaimed, looking at the new-born world. And that unconditional love grounds creation's existence.”In this fourth Gifford Lecture, Miroslav Volf contrasts the selective and self-centered love of Ivan Karamazov with the radically inclusive, unconditional love of Father Zosima. Drawing deeply from Dostoevsky's The Brothers Karamazov, Genesis's creation and flood narratives, and Hannah Arendt's concept of amor mundi, Volf explores a theology of agapic love: unearned, universal, and enduring. This is the love by which God sees creation as “very good”—not because it is perfect, but because it exists. It's the love that grieves corruption without destroying it, that sees responsibility as mutual, and that offers the only hope for life in a deeply flawed world. With references to Luther, Nietzsche, and modern visions of power and desire, Volf challenges us to ask what kind of love makes a world, sustains it, and might one day save it. “Love the world,” he insists, “or lose your soul.”Episode Highlights“The world will either be loved with unconditional love, or it'll not be loved at all.”“Unconditional love abides. If the object of love is in a state that can be celebrated, love rejoices. If it is not, love mourns and takes time to help bring it back to itself.”“Each is responsible for all. Each is guilty for all. Each needs forgiveness from all. Each must forgive all.”“Creation is not primarily sacramental or iconic. It is an object of delight both for humans and for God.”“Agapic love demands nothing from the beloved, though it cares and hopes much for them and for the shared world with them.”Show NotesSchopenhauer and Nietzsche's visions of happiness: pleasure and power as substitutes for love“Love as hunger”: the devouring nature of epithemic desireIvan Karamazov's tragic love for life—selective, gut-level, and self-focused“There is still… this wild and perhaps indecent thirst for life in me”Father Zosima's universal love for “every leaf and every ray of God's light”“Love man also in his sin… Love all God's creation”Sonya and Raskolnikov in Crime and Punishment: love as restoration“She loved him and stayed with him—not although he murdered, but because he murdered”God's declaration in Genesis: “And look—it was very good”Hannah Arendt's amor mundi—“I want you to be” as pure affirmationCreation as gift: “Each is itself by being more than itself”Martin Luther on marriage, sex, and delight as godly pleasuresThe flood as hypothetical: divine grief replaces divine destruction“It grieved God to his heart”—grief as a form of agapic love“Each is responsible for all. Each is guilty for all.”Agape over erotic love: not reward and punishment, but faithful presence and care“Agapic love demands nothing… It is free, sovereign to love, humble.”Closing invitation: to live the life of love, under whatever circumstancesProduction NotesThis podcast featured Miroslav VolfEdited and Produced by Evan RosaHosted by Evan RosaProduction Assistance by Taylor Craig and Macie BridgeA Production of the Yale Center for Faith & Culture at Yale Divinity School https://faith.yale.edu/aboutSupport For the Life of the World podcast by giving to the Yale Center for Faith & Culture: https://faith.yale.edu/giveSpecial thanks to Dr. Paul Nimmo, Paula Duncan, and the media team at the University of Aberdeen.

In this final series of our three-part study of Hebrews 10:19-25, we shift our focus to The Four Great Opportunities of the Opened Sanctuary (Hebrews 10:22), where we are invited to:“Draw near to God with a sincere heart and with the full assurance that faith brings.”Donald E. Coleman unpacks this sacred invitation by contrasting a life of striving with a life of spiritual surrender. Drawing on imagery from the Old Testament tabernacle and spiritual insights from Practicing the Presence of God by Brother Lawrence, he explores what it means to be emptied of self so that we may be filled with the presence and agape love of God.In this episode, you will discover:         ✅ Why drawing near to God requires surrender, not effort         ✅ How to live from the inside out through biblical spirituality         ✅ The difference between transformation and modification         ✅ Why God's agape love is a continual invitation to unity and rest Join us as we respond to God's call to draw near with full assurance, rooted in Christ, and anchored in Agape."Have Questions, Send us a Message" This podcast is a production of The Center for Biblical Coaching and Leadership.

As we continue our series Find Your People, Pastor Bob explores the essence of true community through the lens of 1 John 3:11-24, emphasizing the importance of self-sacrificial love, the impact of our actions on others' perceptions of Jesus, and the call to serve and support one another as a reflection of our faith.

In this episode, we dive deep into the call for true alignment with God. Simply calling yourself a child of God or acknowledging His existence is not enough—alignment requires consecration, responsibility, and purpose. We explore the dangers of self-centeredness, the necessity of taking up our cross daily (Luke 9:23), and how our service to God is reflected in the way we treat others. From the consecration of forgiveness to the humility described in Philippians 2:1–7, this message reminds us that liberty and prosperity come with responsibility. The closer we align with God, the more His love flows through us—and the more He reveals Himself to others through our lives.

In this episode, we explore the deeper dimensions of intimacy with God and the unique consecrations that come with it.  As our relationship with Him deepens, there are things we can no longer acquaint ourselves with—not because they are sinful in themselves, but because of the place we now stand. Drawing lessons from Moses' costly mistake at the rock, we unpack how God gives extra instructions to those set apart, and why breaking them brings personal consequences. We discuss how consecration shapes your life, influences your choices, and sets you apart—even when others may call it legalism. You'll discover why not every revelation is meant to be shared, the significance of treating the things of God with honor, and how anything you are consecrated to carries the spirit of that devotion. With scriptural insights from Mark 1:9-10 and 1 Samuel 16:13, this episode calls you to yield fully, protect your sacred relationship, and embrace the life God has designed for those set apart.

Ethereal Encounters Unveiled welcomes Brandon Martin August 8th, 2025 Topic: The Tapestry of Existence: Natural Law, Symbol, and the Occult Arts About Brandon Martin: Brandon Martin is an Independent Researcher, Symbolist, Alchemist, Philosopher, De-Occultist, Public Speaker, Founder of the SEED Truth Academy, S.E.E.D Conference, Co-Host of the Cubbywhole Podcast, with experience in Live speaking, Graphics Design, and Event Organization. I am an activist for Natural Law, Freemasonry, and the Mystery Traditions. He is working on several books and numerous essays that address critical topics aimed at the betterment of the species. He seeks to create an evolutionary shift towards a Moral society by raising Consciousness at the aggregate level. Through his presentations, videos, podcasts, and Essays, he attempts to take people on an inward journey of self-exploration, examining human Consciousness and the way these things pertain to the Universal problems which we all currently face as a species. He has won two awards for his work from the alternative community, one of which is the One Great Work Achievement Award, presented to him by Mark Passio in Philadelphia in 2019. He touches on topics such as: Ontology, Philosophy, Mystery traditions, the Occult, Esoterism, History, Symbolism, and much more like, Who are we? What is our purpose? Do we have value and meaning? Why do we hold onto certain dogmatic beliefs that give us more suffering? Why is the world in the condition it is in today? What does any of this have to do with the events we experience in our world? In these many empowering presentations from a vast number of researchers, and on this website, the following concepts and ideas will be deeply explored: • Consciousness • Truth vs Deception • The Mystery Traditions • Magic and Sorcery • Worldviews and Presuppositions • Objective Morality vs Moral Relativity • What Human nature truly is. • The basic nature of the problem we collectively face as a species • The forces of Dark Occultism at work in our lives • The multi-faceted methods by which human consciousness is manipulated on a daily basis • The underlying agenda of those performing the manipulation • What Natural Law is and how it contrasts with the law of man • What Sovereignty and Anarchy really mean • Epistemology and Philosophy • Human Origins and Totemic Sociology • Grassroots Solutions Anyone can employ this information to begin to turn the tide and heal the damage that has been done to our ourselves and our world rather than absorbing this information from a purely left brain/analytical point of view. I would suggest that one would gain the mass amount of clarity by engaging in the material with an open mind and an open heart and try to feel the information that is being presented from an intuitive point of view. The information contained in these presentations are not “my” ideas nor am I claiming to have “all” the knowledge necessary for the change to happen. I have found that this information has helped me personally the most and KNOW that without some of this knowledge such as Natural Law we will never make a change in human consciousness. I am NOT asking anyone to BELIEVE anything that is contained in theses presentations or on this website, you need to make that decision for yourself and do your due diligence into the topics provided. The whole purpose of this body of work is to encourage and inspire others to seek the knowledge that can lead them to a better understanding of themselves and of our world. Agape and Namaste!
