In this powerful message, Ps. Jonathan teaches on altars and high places—what they represent and how we ultimately tear down the high places, and build the altars of our hearts.

The most important element of Christian worship is time. Living a life of worship requires us to radically redefine how we approach time and how we use it. This week, we explore how time is not meant for productivity, but for faithfulness.

In this week's Leadership Lessons, we're invited to consider what it means to build altars to the Lord in our everyday lives. Drawing from 1 Kings 18, Pastor Layla Nahavandi challenges us to become modern-day Elijahs people marked by both public demonstrations of faith and private intimacy with God. This message reminds us that true spiritual authority is forged not only on platforms but in prayer closets. It's in the quiet places through consistent prayer, faith, and obedience that we build the kind of altars that attract heaven's fire. As we cultivate a lifestyle rooted in seeking God's presence, we prepare the ground for revival in our hearts and communities. Let this be a call to rebuild the secret place, knowing that what happens there empowers everything we do in the open.

After returning from exile, God gave the Israelites instructions for how to use their gold and silver—not to build idols, but to build vessels for worship. Today, He calls us to do the same. In this message, we explore how generosity leads us away from financial stress and into deeper worship, community, and purpose. And we look at how generosity reorients us toward God, empowers the church to serve others, and shapes us into people of faith and joy.

Altars & Tables // Jason Lowry // Post Falls Campus by Heart Of The City Church

Why do we gather as a church? What is the purpose and design for our Sunday gatherings each week? In the book of Ezra, the temple lay in ruins because the people had forgotten what the temple was designed to do. Rebuilding the house of the Lord meant rediscovering its purpose and design. This week, we get to the heart of why we gather as a church, and what should happen every time we get together.

Pastor Chris Winans discusses the 1st Commandment this week, found in Exodus chapter 20, verse 1-3, “… You shall have no other gods before me.” Using scriptures from both the Old Testament and the New Testament, Pastor Chris brings new insights into this command from two different perspectives: one from the perspective of worship, and the other from the perspective of marriage. www.cornerstonebrighton.com

Today we are talking about the billionaires that have hijacked the American government. My guest, Chuck Collins, is uniquely qualified to talk about this issue. As heir to a family fortune, he had an insider's seat at the table of wealth management - and what he learned about how things operate - caused him to do something considered radical - by the others at the table. He chose to donate his inheritance and dedicate himself to exposing the corrupting influence of dynastic wealth.  This is Aspire with Osha; art, nature, humanity,  and I'm your host, Osha Hayden. My guest Chuck Collins, has been on the show several times. Let me tell you more about this remarkable man.Chuck Collins is the Director of the Program on Inequality and the Common Good at the Institute for Policy Studies where he co-edits Inequality.org.  Author of several books on wealth inequality, including most recently, The Wealth Hoarders: How Billionaires Pay Millions to Hide Trillions. He also wrote a novel, Altars to an Erupting Sun and has a new book coming out this Fall, and we'll hear more about that.You may have listened to our previous interview from Nov 5, 2023,  available on my podcast https://oshahayden.com/podcast/how-trillions-in-hidden-wealth-impacts-us-insights-from-chuck-collins/Osha and Chuck Collins discuss what happens when wealth is transferred from working citizens to the top .01% and billionaires are able to influence policy and elections.Are you curious about how billionaires have captured such a large percentage of the world's wealth? About how they have rigged the system in their favor and yet pay so little in taxes?  Chuck Collins states that “the combined wealth of the nine-figure club is now $16.1 trillion, up $2 trillion from a year ago.”  What are some steps we can take to challenge the takeover of our government by Billionaire oligarchs?We discuss what happens when mega billionaires seize control of the levers of power, and how that affects middle class and poor citizens.In Tolkien's masterpiece, The Lord of the Rings, he describes the rings of power and the one ring to rule them all.  In the trilogy, evil and hatred are on the rise and the dark lord Sauron seeks to find this ultimate ring of power. Because - once he takes possession of the ring, he has control over everything. But the ring is toxic in its power, it utterly corrupts the soul of whoever carries it. Osha notes the relevance of this story to the corrupting influence of extreme wealth and power.It's worth noting that although one of Musk's corporations, Tesla, is valued at over $1 trillion, it paid zero income tax last year. (ITEP, Institute on Taxation and Economic Policy, Jan 30, 2025) https://itep.org/tesla-reported-zero-federal-income-tax-in-2024/The US Debt is now over 36 trillion. It is estimated that the budget package being proposed would add another 5.1 trillion to the deficit.

In this podcast, Pastor Rachelle preaches a powerful message on how we must each do our part to help carry God's Presence back into our homes, cities, and regions. Support the show

Whenever God wants to do something in our world, He always looks for a people whose hearts are open and available to being moved by Him. We find in the book of Ezra, that the first people to return back home out of exile, were those whose hearts were moved by God. They were the first responders. This week, we explore how we can be the first responders to what God's doing in our unique context.

What makes 99 a church, and not just some random community or club? It's that at the center of our togetherness is the worship of God. This week, we begin a new collection of teachings on the book of Ezra, as we respond to God's calling for us to rebuild the altar of worship in our community.

Judges 6:28-30, "28 And when the men of the city arose early in the morning, behold, the altar of Baal was cast down, and the grove was cut down that was by it, and the second bullock was offered upon the altar that was built.29 And they said one to another, Who hath done this thing? And when they enquired and asked, they said, Gideon the son of Joash hath done this thing.30 Then the men of the city said unto Joash, Bring out thy son, that he may die: because he hath cast down the altar of Baal, and because he hath cut down the grove that was by it."

In this episode of InResidency, we sit down with Stephen Baboon—photographer, performer, and founder of Native Fruits Collective—to talk about queerness, Haiti, and the radical tenderness in his work. Baboon shares how his layered identity as a queer Haitian artist with Middle Eastern roots informs everything from his commercial collaborations to his fine art practice.“I create in that in-between state… Identity will never be resolved. We're complex beings.”Together, we explore what it means to make beauty in the face of devastation, how art builds community, and why his portraits feel more like altars than images. This conversation is a love letter to cultural hybridity, chosen family, and the power of visual storytelling.Now streaming on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, iHeart, and all major platforms.Read the feature article in English or Spanish with our digital magazine on the SUBstack platform https://thebureauofqueerart.substack.com

In this message, Pastor Mike Adkins shares how the book of Amos exposes the dangers of spiritual apathy and moral decay in the midst of prosperity, and how God's call to justice and repentance ultimately points us to the grace found in Jesus Christ.

Now that the ungodly altars are removed, it's time to build the right ones. In Part 4 of the Kingdom Legacy series, we explore the prophetic act of establishing Kingdom altars—places where God's covenant becomes visible, generational, and powerful. Deborah-Anne reveals how building new altars is a sign of territory claimed, promises remembered, and legacies secured. What You'll Learn: How Kingdom altars serve as spiritual boundary markers for your prophetic destiny. Why does every move of God begin with the building of an altar? The difference between performing rituals and establishing covenant-based worship.

Before legacy can be established, false altars must be torn down. In this deep and prophetic episode, we unpack the story of Abraham and the sacrifice of Isaac—not as a moment of cruelty, but as a divine confrontation of generational altars. Deborah-Anne leads you through identifying the hidden structures in your bloodline, belief system, and behavior that oppose the covenant legacy God wants to build through you. What You'll Learn: The spiritual significance of altars and how they mark boundaries of influence. Why Abraham's test was more than obedience—it was the destruction of a generational belief system. The difference between altars (man-made worship structures) and covenants (God-initiated relationships).

What should you do with a loved one's ashes? Or your beloved pet's remains? Where should you place old photographs, heirlooms, or cherished belongings that still hold emotional weight? These are some of the deeply personal—and often emotional—questions I get asked all the time. In this heartfelt episode, I, Patricia Lohan, a Feng Shui expert who has helped women around the world bring more joy, ease, flow, and abundance into their lives, open up a thoughtful conversation around ashes, ancestors, and altars. We'll explore how to honor your loved ones while also maintaining the energetic harmony of your home. Whether you're in the midst of loss or supporting someone who is, this episode offers gentle support, spiritual insights, and practical Feng Shui tips to help you make choices that feel both respectful and energetically aligned. Tune in, take what resonates, and remember—your home is a reflection of your heart. Let it be filled with love, light, and peace.   Key Takeaways:  Everything you bring into your home carries energy—and this energy affects your personal well-being, flow, and emotional state. Letting go doesn't have to mean forgetting. Thoughtful rituals or ceremonies can provide healing and closure when the time feels right. Gently begin with decluttering items connected to loss before addressing ashes. Do it at your own pace—layer by layer.

Ancient altars provided a connecting link between God and His people, facilitating powerful visitations, rich revelations, and miraculous manifestations. Abundant proof can be found in Scripture where major expressions of supernatural power accompanied altar worship for Able, Noah, Abraham and others. Joel 1:13 refers to priests in the Old Testament as ministers of the altar. All who qualify as priests in the New Testament now bear this title. Our altar is much different, but it is still a primary key in connecting with God.Ministry website: www.shreveministries.org Comparative religion website: www.thetruelight.net The “Catholic Project” website: www.toCatholicswithlove.org Video channel: www.YouTube.com/mikeshreveministries All audio-podcasts are shared in a video format on our YouTube channel.Get Mike Shreve's book revealing the spiritual identity of the sons and daughters of God: WHO AM I?

**Bonus musical piece at the end of the homily from a Requiem Traditional Latin Mass**The altar in a Catholic church is more than a table—it's the sacred heart of worship, symbolizing Christ's sacrifice and presence among His people. Here, heaven meets earth as bread and wine become the Body and Blood of Christ during the Eucharist. It stands as a place of offering, transformation, and divine encounter, reminding the faithful that God's love is not distant but present, real, and continually poured out for all. --- Help Spread the Good News --- Father Brian's homilies are shared freely thanks to generous listeners like you.

After the 10 Commandments were given on Mount Sinai, God gave the design for building an altar, enabling Israelites to approach Him for repentance and consecration. The details contain hidden symbolism concerning profound New Testament realities. In the Old Testament, priests were called “ministers of the altar” (Joel 1:13). New Testament believers have inherited this status also, but on a higher level. The mysteries are about to be revealed.Ministry website: www.shreveministries.org Comparative religion website: www.thetruelight.net The “Catholic Project” website: www.toCatholicswithlove.org Video channel: www.YouTube.com/mikeshreveministries All audio-podcasts are shared in a video format on our YouTube channel.Get Mike Shreve's book revealing the spiritual identity of the sons and daughters of God: WHO AM I?
