Hey Guys! I'm so excited to share this conversation I had with Ace Harris on faith, creativity, sacrifice, and what it means to surrender everything to God.In this episode, Ace shares his journey from discovering music in the church, to working in the Christian music industry.And we touched on topics like the tension between art, commerce, and ministry, how beauty and creativity can point people back to God, and why our heart posture matters in everything we build.We also discuss Altar Aesthetics, Christian influence, success, discipline, and the cost of following Jesus when He asks for the very thing we love most.My prayer is that this episode encourages you to ask: is the Lord truly sitting on the throne of my heart, or have I placed something else there?Tune In Now!See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Today on Ascend: The Great Books Podcast, Deacon Harrison Garlick and Dr. Frank Grabowski dive into Books 17–19 of Homer's Odyssey, where the disguised king returns to Ithaca as a beggar.Check out our WRITTEN Q&A GUIDE TO THE ODYSSEY.Check out Dr. Grabowski's new Substack: The Porch and the Altar.The conversation explores iconic moments like Odysseus's heartbreaking reunion with his loyal dog Argos, the tense first dialogue with Penelope that raises fascinating questions about what she truly knows or suspects, and the escalating violations of xenia by the suitors. Listeners will appreciate the rich analysis of loyalty as the ultimate standard, Odysseus's hard-won maturation in temperance and piety, and striking contrasts between faithful servants like Eumaeus and disloyal figures like Melanthius.Homer emerges here as both poet and philosopher, using these scenes to probe justice, the nature of heroism, the city at peace, and the interplay of fate and human choice.With Athena guiding events and the tension building toward the suitors' doom, Deacon and Dr. Grabowski illuminate how Odysseus' trials have prepared him not just for revenge, but for restoring order.Whether you're new to the epic or a longtime reader, this episode offers fresh insights that make the ancient story feel urgently relevant.

This week I'm joined by Suzi Kalypso, founder of The Temple of Eden in southern California, which she started 5 years ago as a bufo (5-MeO-DMT) church, but has since expanded into a multi-sacrament entheogenic church and also provides facilitation training, integration, and community events and support. In this lengthy interview we learn of her struggles with addiction and her journey into psychedelic medicines as well as the move from being a minimally-trained "pipe lighter" (a common deficiency in the 5-MeO-DMT world) to being an ethically-minded priestess who focuses on her budding community in LA and beyond. Learn more about the Temple of Eden here.Also in this episode I have a brief interview with Sarah Knapik of Altar of the Heart Church in support of my upcoming 5-MeO-DMT Integration Specialist Training course with Mindscape Institute, and additionally I announce an upcoming free Zoom webinar about my course for all who are interested in learning more about integration with 5-MeO-DMT and what the course covers. The webinar will be on Wednesday, July 15 from 3:30-5 pm Pacific time. All are welcome, but you will need to register with me at martinball.net.

Allie covers big news from Bethany Christian Services, the nation's largest Protestant adoption and foster care agency, which has announced it will only place children with families who fully align with its biblical statement of faith beginning in June 2027. This decision reaffirms the organization's Christian convictions on marriage and the sanctity of life after years of internal identity struggles, drawing strong praise from believers while prioritizing minimal disruption for the thousands of children they serve. Professor Robert George joins to explain his reason for creating Fidelity Month, a counter to Pride Month, that prioritizes nuclear family and faith over brokenness. Finally, Allie reacts to the Supernanny, Jo Frost, who has declared that we have taught our children to be incapable. For more about Fidelity Month, go to https://fidelitymonth.com/.

¿Qué haces cuando la medicina no funciona y tu última opción es hacer  pacto? En este capítulo de Podcast Paranormal, Fepo habla sobre el culto a Lucifer junto a Alexis, fundador del Altar del Angelito Negro en la Ciudad de México.   Alexis nos cuenta cómo un cáncer terminal desapareció tras un pacto, dando origen a un famoso altar en Tepito. Tambien nos aclara las verdades del culto: prohíbe los sacrificios de animales, detalla los fallos extraños que sufren las cámaras de los escépticos y narra los ataques que vive por parte de fanáticos religiosos, además de cómo su devoción llegó hasta España.   ¿Será que como sociedad solo juzgamos aquello que no entendemos?

In Part 2, the spotlight shifts to the dramatic succession struggle that followed the final days of Dovid Hamelech. The episode begins with Adoniyahu's attempt to seize the throne and the efforts of Beniyahu and other loyalists who remained faithful to Dovid's chosen successor. As the crisis unfolds, Dovid acts decisively, ordering that Shlomo be publicly anointed as king. The podcast explores this historic coronation and the final instructions Dovid delivers to his son, providing guidance on leadership, justice, and the unfinished matters that would shape the future of the kingdom.The second half follows the challenges facing the newly crowned King Shlomo. When Adoniyahu launches another bid for power, Beniyahu is entrusted with carrying out the king's judgment, demonstrating both his loyalty and his willingness to enforce difficult decisions. The episode also examines the banishment of Evyasar HaKohen, marking the end of a priestly dynasty and the fulfillment of earlier prophecies. Finally, attention turns to Yoav, who realizes that his past actions have left him vulnerable under the new regime. Fearing retribution, he flees to the altar seeking refuge, setting the stage for one of the most consequential confrontations of Shlomo's reign and further cementing Beniyahu's role as both guardian of the kingdom and servant of justice.00:00 - Intro00:27 - Rebellion of Adoniyahu08:03 - Beniyahu Ben Yehoyadah and the Loyalists10:08 - Dovid Hamelech has Shlomo Annointed as King18:36 - King Dovid's Final Instructions to King Shlomo21:37 - Adoniyahu Rebels Again26:07 - Adoniyahu is Punished by Beniyahu29:24 - King Shlomo Banishes Evyasar HaKohen35:02 - Yoav Fears King Shlomo and Flees to the Altar

The furnishings of the Tabernacle are arranged in pairs: the Ark & the Cover; the Table of Showbread & the Menorah; and now the Altar & the Laver. These last two (rather simple) furnishings contain important lessons into the way we are to approach God, i.e. the path of Fire and Water. We will look at how Solomon made himself a living sacrifice and how the bronze laver reflects God's Word. But we conclude this lesson with a fascinating spiritual discovery: how Fire and Water are depicted in all three areas of the Tabernacle, and what that means for us!For more teachings by Grant Luton (and to print the notes), visit our website: https://www.TorahTodayMinistries.orgAnd when you visit, be sure to subscribe to our bi-weekly newsletter, which will keep you up to date with news, photos, and upcoming events at Torah Today Ministries.

En este episodio reflexionamos sobre la importancia del altar familiar, ese lugar oculto donde Dios forma nuestro carácter, fortalece nuestra fe y prepara nuestros hogares para resistir las tormentas de la vida. A través de la poderosa imagen de la cantera y la construcción del templo, descubriremos que lo que Dios hace en secreto siempre termina manifestándose en público. Porque una casa firme no se construye el domingo, sino en los encuentros diarios con Dios dentro del hogar.

We have come to the last chapter of Amos, and the prophet is pressing home his final challenge to God's people. The Lord stands at the altar and says something incredibly jarring, "I will fix my eyes upon them for evil and not for good." The Lion is on the hunt. And he is not pursuing merely as a parent playing hide-and-seek, but as a predator to eviscerate his prey. What is his prey? The self-righteousness of his people who assure themselves "Disaster will not overtake us." What is so dangerous about their false security that Amos culminates in this one last warning? Let's talk about "The King at the Altar" (Amos 9:1-10).

Devotion : Ezra 3:1-11 / Altar First! by Community Lutheran Church

Mexiko-City ist eine Stadt der Gegensätze. Verkehrschaos, Korruption und Moderne wechseln sich ab mit Tradition, Latino-Charme und Lebensfreude. Am Austragungsort der Fussball-WM haben sich fünf Schweizerinnen und Schweizer aus ganz unterschiedlichen Gründen niedergelassen. Michelle Löliger hat ihren grossen Tag und kämpft am Hyrox-Anlass um einen Platz auf dem Podest. Ihren zweiten Job hat sie schon wieder verloren, die Krise nimmt kein Ende. Muss sie zurück in die Schweiz? Leo Leonski ist voller Tatendrang zurück in Mexiko. In Tulum an der Karibikküste, wo seine Karriere begonnen hat, arbeitet er weiter an seinem neuen Song und will als Produzent Erfolge feiern. Tanja Vultier kauft auf dem Blumenmarkt Zutaten für den «Dia de los Muertos» und schmückt ihren Altar. Sie mag die mexikanische Art, der Verstorbenen zu gedenken, und geht Salsa tanzen. Jachen Schleich hat ein grosses Bauprojekt in der Baja California und will den Generalunternehmer dort von seinem Lieblingsprojekt überzeugen: eine autarke Feriensiedlung im boomenden Kitesurf-Paradies La Ventana. Noëmi Siegfried ist nervös. Sie hat ihren ersten grossen Auftritt als Sängerin und Performance-Künstlerin in Mexiko. Jetzt wird auch klar, warum sie ausgerechnet hier ihr Glück versucht.

Read OnlineJesus said to his disciples: “Do not think that I have come to abolish the law or the prophets. I have come not to abolish but to fulfill. Amen, I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not the smallest letter or the smallest part of a letter will pass from the law, until all things have taken place.” Matthew 5:17–18Sometimes it can be challenging to reconcile the Old Testament with the New Testament. In addition to the Ten Commandments, the Old Testament is filled with countless other commandments. The Pharisees, in their attempt to preserve and interpret the Law of Moses, identified 613 specific commandments. While the Pharisees sought to preserve the Law through detailed commandments, the prophets continually called Israel back to a deeper fidelity to the covenant. Many of the prophets also spoke of the coming of the Messiah and foretold a new spiritual law that would be written on the heart.In today's Gospel, Jesus proclaims that He has not come to abolish the Law or the Prophets, but to fulfill them. To “fulfill” means that Jesus brings the Law and the Prophets to completion, perfecting them and elevating them into the New Covenant of grace. This fulfillment achieves the true meaning of the Law, moving beyond external observance to the interior transformation of the heart. Jesus fulfills the moral demands of the Law by addressing not only external actions but also the interior dispositions of the heart. For example, in this same Sermon on the Mount, Jesus transforms the commandment “You shall not kill” into a call to avoid even anger or hatred (cf. Matthew 5:21–22). In doing so, He reveals the fullness of God's justice, which calls for not only outward obedience but also inward holiness rooted in love.The sacrificial system of the Old Covenant centered on Temple worship, where animal sacrifices were ritually offered as atonement for sins. Those Old Testament sacrifices find completion in Jesus' perfect sacrifice on the Cross. He became the new High Priest and offered Himself as the Lamb of God on the Altar of the Cross, a sacrifice that is perpetuated in the Eucharist. Once Christ offered Himself on the Cross, the animal sacrifices and other ceremonial aspects were fulfilled and are no longer required, having given way to the new and perfect worship in the perpetual Eucharistic Sacrifice.The Law and the Prophets also pointed toward the coming of the Messiah and the establishment of the New Covenant. Jesus, as the Messiah, fulfills these prophecies. In Him, God's plan to gather all nations into His family is accomplished, fulfilling the promises made to Abraham and proclaimed by the prophets. The symbols and foreshadowings of the Old Testament, such as the Passover lamb, find their ultimate meaning in Christ.Through Him, the promises of salvation are no longer future hopes but present realities. Through this threefold fulfillment—moral, in transforming our hearts; liturgical, in perfecting worship; and prophetic, in realizing God's promises—Jesus not only completes the Old Covenant but elevates it into something far greater. He reveals its true purpose: to lead humanity into a deeper relationship with God through love, grace, and truth.Reflect today on Jesus as the fulfillment of all that God has revealed from the foundation of the world. Because the Old Testament is fulfilled in Christ, we turn our gaze upon Him as the full revelation of the Father and the only way to salvation. The study of the Old Testament reveals the unfolding of Salvation History, but in the Eucharist, we encounter its fulfillment and completion. Turn to Him in the Sacrifice of the Mass, where every promise made throughout salvation history is fulfilled and made present to you in the most precious gift of Christ Himself. In this perpetual Eucharistic Sacrifice, we are drawn into the mystery of divine love and receive a foretaste of the heavenly banquet, where God's promises will one day be fully realized.My Eucharistic Lord, You are the fulfillment of every promise made throughout salvation history. In the Sacrifice of the Mass, the final and perfect atonement for sins, those promises are made present to us today. Draw me deeper into worship, filling my heart with a profound love for You in the Eucharist. Transform me by this New Covenant of grace.

Today on Ascend: The Great Books Podcast, Deacon Harrison Garlick is joined by Dr. Frank Grabowski and Dr. Alex Petkas (host of the Cost of Glory) for a rich discussion of Odyssey Books 13 and 14. Check out all our resources on the great books!Check out the Cost of Glory!Check our the Porch and Altar, Dr. Grabowski's Substack.Odysseus finally reaches Ithaca—sleeping peacefully through the voyage as the Phaeacians carry him ashore—only to awaken uncertain and disguised by Athena as a beggar. The conversation explores his strategic plotting with the goddess, the symbolic Cave of the Nymphs (including a fascinating Neoplatonic reading from Porphyry), the poignant encounter with the loyal swineherd Eumaeus, and Odysseus's layered “lies” that reveal deep truths about his character. The guests delve into themes of homecoming, the restoration of patriarchal order, xenia (guest-friendship), internal moral growth, and the slowing narrative pace as Homer shifts focus from external adventures to the subtle work of reclaiming one's house.This episode offers fresh, layered insights perfect for both first-time readers and Odyssey veterans, blending literary analysis, philosophy, and practical wisdom on loyalty, cunning, and self-mastery. Whether you're drawn to the theological depth of the cave, the psychological realism of Odysseus' deceptions, or the timeless lessons on rebuilding order amid chaos, Dcn. Garlick, Dr. Grabowski, and Dr. Petkas make these often-overlooked books come alive with warmth, humor, and profound appreciation. Tune in for an engaging, accessible conversation that will deepen your love for Homer and leave you eager for the next leg of the journey.Chapters00:00 Introduction to the Odyssey and Guests08:38 The Slow Pace of the Odyssey13:15 Themes of Homecoming and Restoration18:07 The Significance of Sleep and Rebirth23:22 Divine Intervention and the Phaeacians28:24 Odysseus' Identity and the Role of Athena36:26 The Art of Deception: Odysseus and Athena's Intrigue37:19 The Mist of Disguise: Odysseus' Identity Crisis39:46 Inner Odyssey: The Journey of Self-Discovery42:34 The Goddess of Trickery: Athena's Role in Odysseus' Return44:39 The Cave of the Nymphs: Symbolism and Allegory51:03 Depositing Treasures: Spiritual Growth and Cooperation with the Divine59:13 The Loyal Swineherd: Eumaeus and the Theme of Hospitality01:02:39 The Encounter with the Dogs01:03:44 Loyalty and the Commoner's Perspective01:05:11 The Swineherd's Knowledge and Loyalty01:06:16 Odysseus's Tests and Coalition Building01:07:59 Reflections on War and Leadership01:11:35 Odysseus's Crafty Storytelling01:14:58 The Nature of Lies and Truth01:18:12 Piety and Character in the Odyssey01:22:06 The Art of Storytelling and Requests01:25:20 Final Thoughts and Future EncountersBe sure to check out our website for more resources on the great books!

False gods cost more than expected and give nothing in return. Jesus has paid the cost of our sin and gives us everything.

(Exodus 30:7-10) An altar is a place where things die. The altar of incense calls us to lay down our independence and pride in prayer. Learn how the blood of Christ gives us access, how our prayers are like sweet-smelling incense to God, and why consistent communion with the Lord reveals whether we're truly living as living sacrifices.

(Exodus 30:1-6) From the shining light of the candlestick, we now step to the fragrant altar of Incense, the central altar of prayer standing directly before the veil. You must come first to the altar of sacrifice before you can enjoy the altar of prayer — but once you do, it becomes the gateway into the deeper presence and fullness of God.

[00:30] George Floyd in Reverse (36 minutes) Newly released police bodycam footage has ignited a public outcry about the murder of 18-year-old Henry Nowak in December 2025. Nowak died from multiple stab wounds after UK police arrested him instead of the Sikh man who stabbed him. Officers prioritized the murderer's lie that Nowak used a racial slur over the teenager's pleas that he had been stabbed by his accuser. Nowak's case is a direct inversion of the George Floyd case, which created many of the racial bias policies that police officers now follow. Will anything change after this new tragedy? [35:55] Study Like Mr. Armstrong (19 minutes) Herbert W. Armstrong set a remarkable example of deep, life-changing Bible study.

Nieves Concostrina habla de cómo Alfonso XII perjudicó la educación al prohibir la libertad de cátedra para impedir la difusión de teorías científicas como la evolución, adaptando la enseñanza universitaria al dogma católico.
