The subject of faith is a very vital, crucial and indispensable aspect of the Christian life, infact the christian life is called “The Faith" as seen in Act 6:7 And the word of God increased; and the number of the disciples multiplied in Jerusalem greatly; and a great company of the priests were obedient to the faith. Previously, we learnt that strength is a prerequisite and requirement for life, without it one becomes a weak prey for the strong predators, this is because nature thrives by conquest. Although life only recognizes the strong, weakness is inevitable in life. Due to ageing or health issues bodily weakness sets in, due to environmental and other human factors and limitations, weakness in results sets in. Despite the inevitability of weakness God made provision for us to not be preys in life, this provision is His grace which is sufficient and makes strength available for us in weaknesses. Although David lived in the Old Testament, he enjoyed this grace of God that was why he thanked God for not allowing him to be a prey to men (Psalm 124:6) Although this provision was made available to us, we have a responsibility to take it and the only way we can take it is by faith. What is Faith? Faith is believing the unseen/invisible and living in the reality of this unseen/invisible till it becomes a seen physical reality. This means that faith is the converter which coverts spiritual reality blessings in heavenly places into physical blessings. Hebrews 11:1. Without faith it is impossible for us to be made perfect in God, this is because as belivers in and followeres of Jesus Christ we do not use our own faith, the faith we use is God's faith and it takes God's faith to be made perfect. This truth is seen in the original Greek rendering of Mark 11:22: The King James renders And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God. But The original Greek renders And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith from God. i. Faith is not actually us believing in God, it is God's complete and absolute belief in Himself availed to us. Faith is all about God not us. ii. Faith is God's inability to deny Himself, that is why He is FaithFul. "If we believe not, yet he abideth faithful: he cannot deny himself". 2Timothy 2:13 iii. Faith is God's inability to lie. "That by two immutable things, in which it was impossible for God to lie, we might have a strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon the hope set before us". Hebrews 6:18 iv. Faith is God's commitment to the performance of His word which is His integrity. Matthew 24:35 "Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away." Mark 13:31; Luke 21:33 This is why faith from God cannot fail. If we must manifest God on earth, the faith from God which belongs to God must be made perfect in our lives. How is faith made perfect? Seest thou how faith wrought with his works, and by works was faith made perfect? Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only. For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also. James 2:22, 24,26 Answer: Faith is made manifest by works Grace to you. Jesus is Lord.

Justification by Faith Bible Study with Jairus – Romans 4 Romans 4 continues the theme of justification by faith, which Paul introduced in Romans 1:17: "The righteous shall live by faith." (ESV) Romans 5 builds on the concepts of justification by faith which are discussed in chapter 4. Romans 5 begins, "Therefore, since we have been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ." (Romans 5:1 ESV) Clearly, the theme of Romans 4 is “justification by faith.” Although the chapter tells the story of Abraham and Sarah's justification by faith, that will not be the focus of today's discussion. Since Christians are already familiar with Abraham's story, we will focus our time on the Psalms Paul quotes to uphold justification by faith. David's Words of Faith In Romans 4:5-8, Paul says, “And to the one who does not work but believes inhim who justifies the ungodly, his faith is counted as righteousness, just as David also speaks of the blessing of the one to whom God counts righteousness apart from works: ‘Blessed are those whose lawless deeds are forgiven, and whose sins are covered; blessed is the man against whom the Lord will not count his sin.'” (ESV) In this passage, Paul quotes Psalm 32 and Psalm 51. Both Psalms were written by David after God forgave him of his sin with Bathsheba. Psalm 51 focuses on repentance while Psalm 32 focuses on gratitude. Both David and Paul wrote both under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit. When Paul and other New Testament authors quote Old Testament authors, they use these Old Testament verses to illuminate New Testament themes. Old Testament truths provide a new angle on New Testament truth. When New Testament authors quote the Old Testament, there are often some small variations between the Old Testament text and the New Testament quote. For example, Psalm 32:1-2 says: “Blessed is the one whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered. Blessed is the man against whom the Lord counts no iniquity, and in whose spirit there is no deceit.” (ESV) Paul's quotation omits the phrase, "in whose spirit there is no deceit.” In addition, there are some translation differences between the two quotations. For instance, where the Psalm says “LORD (Jehovah),” most translations say, “the Lord.” Only some versions such as the Darby Bible and ASV still translate it as “LORD (Jehovah).” The New Testament often uses the Old Testament as a picture that points to a New Testament reality. For example, the Old Testament crossing of the Red Sea is a vivid picture or depiction that helps us understand the New Testament concept of receiving salvation and breaking free from sin. Similarly, David's experience and his emotions in Psalm 32 may be a picture that can help us better understand the truth of "justification by faith." David's Repentance. How does David's experience prove Paul's argument? We know that David was chosen by God while he was a shepherd. David, the youngest of eight siblings, was tending sheep in the wilderness. When Samuel went to the house of David's father, Jesse, to find the person God had appointed to be the next king, David was not present. Only after Samuel had met all seven other sons did he ask Jesse about his eight sons. Jesse admitted that he had one more son, who was out in the wilderness. It seems that David really has no status in the family. Some theologians have speculated that David may have been a child of Jesse's mistress or even an illegitimate child, since there was so much discrimination against him in his home. This conjecture makes sense. Whereas most families treasure the last child as the apple of their eye, David's family didn't even remember that he existed until Samuel asked if Jesse had another son. Later, when David brought food to his brothers at the battle line, David was ridiculed by his own brothers. Clearly, David was devalued within his own home. We can't be sure whether this conjecture is accurate. Either way, we know that David lacked status in his family. However, David went through God's training in the wilderness. In his own words, the Lord was with him. God gave him opportunities to deepen his trust in God. When a lion or bear threatened the flock, God helped him conquer these wild animals. Later, God anointed him as king. After he rose in power, his morals began to weaken. One evening, he was walking on his palace roof when he saw a married woman bathing down below. After committing adultery with her, David murdered her husband. After this incident, God sent the prophet Nathan to rebuke him, and he immediately repented (2 Samuel 12). The introduction to Psalm 51 records that after Nathan came to see David, David wrote Psalm 51 for the director of music. Normally, people's impression of David is that he is quicker to repent than Saul. When Samuel rebuked Saul for offering an unauthorized sacrifice, Saul only quibbled. He did not admit his mistake. Samuel was very angry, saying that rebellion is equivalent to idolatry and that obedience is better than sacrifice. Samuel prophesied that the Lord would take Saul's kingdom and give it to the chosen person in His heart. The book of 2 Samuel tells us that after Nathan reprimanded David, he immediately repented. However, Psalm 32:3-4 records a time of hesitation during which David was reluctant to repent: “For when I kept silent, my bones wasted away through my groaning all day long. For day and night your hand was heavy upon me; my strength was dried up as by the heat of summer. Selah” (ESV) David's reluctance to repent was very painful for him. No matter when this time of hesitation occurred, this passage gives us an important insight into David's inner feelings. The longer he waited to confess his sins, the more he felt the pressure of God's hands on his life. I can relate deeply to David's experience. When I was studying in London, England, I heard someone mention the gospel. Suddenly, I began to feel uneasy. I realized I was a sinner. I suddenly felt guilty for many things I did not even previously consider to be sins. It was a very painful experience. I didn't know where to find relief. I would often browse my computer until midnight before I could fall asleep, and I would wake up suddenly during the night. During that time, I often ran to a nearby park at night, where I cried out with a loud voice to the sky and admitted my mistakes and sins. Even though it wasn't raining, I felt low air pressure, as if a storm were about to come. I felt out of breath. Later, when I reflected on this experience, I realized that God's hands were weighing heavily on me, not allowing me to get by without repentance. Since then, I have repented regularly. After I was baptized in the United States, I have knelt down on the ground every night to pray for repentance. After coming to the United States, I experienced the joy of the complete forgiveness of sins. David also experienced this powerful spiritual experience of forgiveness. He said in Psalm 32:5-7, “I acknowledged my sin to you, and I did not cover my iniquity; I said, “I will confess my transgressions to the Lord,” and you forgave the iniquity of my sin. Selah Therefore let everyone who is godly offer prayer to you at a time when you may be found; surely in the rush of great waters, they shall not reach him. You are a hiding place for me; you preserve me from trouble; you surround me with shouts of deliverance. Selah” (ESV) These verses describe David gradually receiving forgiveness and joy as he repented and confessed his sins. These experiences may seem like nothing special to modern Christians, but for an Old Testament saint like David, the feeling of forgiveness was unprecedented. Similarly, Martin Luther felt like forgiveness and justification by faith were a big breakthrough. In many Psalms, David would begin writing from his human perspective. Then the Holy Spirit would come upon him, and he would speak directly from God's point of view. This is the case in Psalm 32:8-11. In these verses, the Spirit of the Lord says through David: “I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you with my eye upon you. Be not like a horse or a mule, without understanding, which must be curbed with bit and bridle, or it will not stay near you. Many are the sorrows of the wicked, but steadfast love surrounds the one who trusts in the Lord. Be glad in the Lord, and rejoice, O righteous, and shout for joy, all you upright in heart!” (ESV) Generational Curses. David lived a life of purity and loved God's law. He often boasted about his righteousness and the unrighteousness of others. Yet he committed many violations of God's commandments with Bathsheba. For example, he broke at least three laws: do not kill, do not bear false witness, and do not commit adultery. David's sin gave the enemy a great opportunity to discredit David's God. This defeat was a big blow to God's reputation. In American society, many Christians commit sins of adultery. Randy Clark, the founder of Global Awakening and the supervisor of the "Randy Clark Scholars" Doctor of Ministry Program at the United Theological Seminary where I am studying now, admitted his struggle in this area. Though he tried his best to love the Lord, Randy fell into adultery in his younger years. After he his wife betrayed him and sinned against him, he began to be sexually immoral, even to the point of taking drugs. He later mentioned the importance of deliverance ministry in his life. After demons were cast out of Randy, he discovered that his family's ancestors had committed the same sins. It was then that he realized that he was suffering from a generational curse. After he experienced deliverance, he escaped from this curse, defeating the strongholds set up by the evil spirits. His children became godly people, and none of them have repeated this generational mistake. He testified that his children had never kissed anyone except their husband or wife. Randy Clark comes from a Baptist background, and he attended a liberal seminary, so he didn't believe in deliverance. But his experience proved the effectiveness of deliverance. I completed the course in divine healing and deliverance that he offered at his ministry. During this period, I read many books about deliverance. One of these books suggested that David sinned because of a generational curse that could be traced back to his great-great-grandmother, the prostitute Rahab. Rahab was justified by faith and the whole family was saved when she married Salmon, an Israelite spy, and gave birth to the godly man, Boaz. Boaz was the father of Obed, Obed was the father of Jesse, and Jesse was the father of David. Boaz was a very pious man. The Bible doesn't tell us whether Obed and Jesse sinned sexually. However, the deliverance ministry suggests that David sinned as a result of a family curse. Since Rahab was a prostitute, she interacted with many people. Naturally, she brought in many evil spirits. These evil spirits established strongholds in David's family. Therefore, although David pursued purity throughout his life, he could not overcome the power of these evil spirits. Thus, he eventually failed. Of course, this does not mean that David himself carries no responsibility for this act. We should not blame his sin completely on the evil spirits. But we do need to acknowledge the existence of evil spirits and generational curses. In Randy's case, he realized that demons were involved as he saw a pattern of similar sins in his family. But once he was delivered from these demons, the pattern was broken. Randy explains that there is often more to the story than our own personal sins. We need to confess our sins, but we also need to cast the demons out. Fortunately, Christ has delivered us from the curse through his work on the cross, and deliverance ministries seek to apply that deliverance to daily life. Not only must we believe that God is able to save us, but we must also admit our own incapacity to save ourselves. Even if our own hard work could make us pure, how would we deal with the sins of our ancestors which still flow in our blood? Our sinful nature needs the blood of Christ and his work on the cross to be removed once and for all. Although David is an Old Testament believer, many of his experiences can be related to common New Testament phenomena. David experienced moral failure, but he has also experienced God's forgiveness and possibly the deliverance from demons or family curses. David's life was like a roller coaster. After the depths of sin and despair, David experienced the heights of joy and forgiveness. In Psalm 32, he sighed in authentic joy: “Blessed is the one whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered. Blessed is the man against whom the Lord counts no iniquity, and in whose spirit there is no deceit.” (ESV) He experienced the joy of "justification by faith" and the deliverance from family curses and demons.
In this Psalm, King David praises Yahweh, the God of Israel, as the King of glory. Although David is the King of Israel, he does not claim to be the ultimate Sovereign King over any of it, but rather gives praise to God who is the creator and...

Although David and Frank have many professional athletes lined up for the podcast, we wanted to share with our audience some of the players we have already spoken to in 2021 - before we decided to do a podcast. We are starting out with Andre Dawson, a session that was held for Black History Month and seen via video by more than 1,000 students. If you think Andre is only a baseball player, you are sadly mistaken.These were Zoom video sessions intended to be watched, however, we did the best that we could to convert them to a audio only format, so expect some bumps in the road.This session was hosted by David, while Frank tried to handle the Q&A session with over 1,000 students.Disclaimer: the views and opinions expressed in this, and every episode, are those of the speaker and not those of any team, organization or corporation.
Bible Study with Jairus – Numbers 4 Numbers 4 records how the Kohathites, Gershonites, and Merarites transported the things in the Holy of Holies, the sanctuary, and the outer court, respectively. The key verses that we will be discussing today are verses 17-20. 4:17 (NIV) The Lord said to Moses and Aaron, 4:18 (NIV) "See that the Kohathite tribal clans are not destroyed from among the Levites. 4:19 (NIV) So that they may live and not die when they come near the most holy things, do this for them: Aaron and his sons are to go into the sanctuary and assign to each man his work and what he is to carry. 4:20 (NIV) But the Kohathites must not go in to look at the holy things, even for a moment, or they will die." According to the records of Chronicles, Levi had three sons - the eldest was Gershon, Kohath was the second, and Merari was the third. But Kohath, the second son, was Aaron and Moses' grandfather. The Kohathites were assigned to carry the things in the Holy of Holies and the sanctuary, while the eldest son Gershon and Merari, the third son, were assigned to carry some things in the outer courtyard. Does this have any spiritual significance? Why did Jehovah choose the second son to carry the most important and holy objects? Jehovah specifically instructed Moses and Aaron not to let the Kohathite tribal clans be destroyed from among the Levites, yet later the Kohathites (led by Korah) were not satisfied with their assigned service in the sanctuary, and were jealous of Aaron's work in the Holy of Holies and subsequently judged by Jehovah and went down alive into hades (Numbers 16:33). What's the relation between these? In the Bible, the Word of God transcends time and space. The Holy Spirit can also speak to us through His Word in a timely manner (Rhema). As we seek to understand this chapter, God will enlighten us and apply it to our lives today. In Leviticus 10:1-2, when Nadab and Abihu, Aaron's sons, offered strange fire before the Lord, they were burned to death by Jehovah because He didn't command them to do so. This shows the solemnity of entering the Holy of Holies. It is recorded in the Old Testament that only the High Priest could enter the Holy of Holies once a year. One can see from here that when the Kohathites were transporting the things in the Holy of Holies and the sanctuary, they could only carry them. They couldn't touch the holy things, or they would die. Here are a few interesting facts. Kohath, Gershon, and Merari could only carry the sacred elements and not touch them. Instead, Eleazar and Ithamar, along with their father Aaron, the priest, prepared them for them, and they are directly responsible to Eleazar and Ithamar. We know that only Aaron the High Priest could enter the Holy of Holies. Many of the things carried by Kohath were from the Holy of Holies and sanctuary. This was done under the direction of Eleazar, the son of Aaron. Meanwhile, most of the sacred elements carried by Gershon and Merari were the ones in the outer courtyard. This was done under the direction of Ithamar, Aaron's son. As we mentioned earlier, the Kohathites rebelled, and the Lord judged them. In addition to the earth swallowing Korah, Dathan, and Abiram, the Lord struck the people with a plague. Moses asked Aaron to take the censer and pray in the midst of the assembly, and the plague stopped. But there were still 14,700 people who died (Numbers 16). When Saul violated the oath to kill the Gibeonites, a famine came to Israel (2 Samuel 21). When David sinned by counting the Israelites, a plague struck, and 70,000 people died (2 Samuel 24). The plague stopped after David's sacrifice. God's judgment often included plagues. Some believe the current outbreak of the coronavirus was sent by the enemy to instill fear and panic, as well as to stop evangelism in the world. We understand that God can stop or prevent these things from happening. Why does He withhold his hand on this and allow it to happen? God is a good God. He is never the source of temptation. It's our own evil desires and thoughts that lead us into sin, which eventually leads to death (James 1:13-15). Jehovah is omnipotent and omniscient. Perhaps when He began to choose the Kohathites to serve in the sanctuary, He foresaw their rebellion. Therefore, He specifically reminded Aaron and Moses too, "see that the Kohathite tribal clans are not destroyed from among the Levites" (NIV, Numbers 4:18). Jehovah may have been reminding Aaron and Moses to intercede for the Kohathites for fear that they would be judged because of their future rebellion and that God would have no choice but to eliminate the family of Kohathites. I guess maybe Aaron's initial prayer may not have been enough, because, in the end, Korah's descendants still rebelled. Later, Aaron took the censer to intercede in the middle of the assembly. Not only did the plague end, but some descendants of Kohath and Korah also survived, because we know some of the Psalms were written by Korah's descendants (Psalms 42-49, 84-85, 87-88). As mentioned earlier, when we sow to the flesh or sin, we will reap destruction. One of the ways God intervenes for us today is to raise intercessors like Aaron to pray for us Just as Aaron prayed for the Kohathites and Abraham prayed for Lot, it's the same with the church today. If God's people pray, unbelievers will repent of their sin, and God will forgive. Although we live in the era of God's grace, if the church lacks in prayer, people's sin will accumulate, and eventually, people will reap what they have sown, and at the last day, the judgment will come. So if we apply this principle today, we can see, on the one hand, God allowed the coronavirus to happen to lead people to repent. On the other hand, He wants to raise the burden of intercession in churches. Many people in the world are beginning to feel the fragility of life, and the rigidity in their hearts is gradually being shaken. We can also see that the burden of stronger intercession is slowly rising in various churches. When these two combine, it will be a "preparation" role for God's next move. This may be a very challenging time, but God's intentions are ultimately good. God so loves the world and doesn't want to leave his people to destruction; thus, He allows destruction to come as a wakeup call. The Bible says that God's judgment begins with God's household (NIV, 1 Peter 4:17). Is God trying to wake up His church by allowing this virus? Did this destructive virus come to China first because God has ordained a great revival in China, and this great revival will spread all over the world? God told me through countless dreams that this great revival is coming. I told the Holy Spirit that I heard that one out of ten Chinese had been saved since the revival in 1980. He challenged me to imagine two out of ten or more, which would be over 100 million Chinese people saved in the upcoming revival. No doubt, looking at this story in this context has timely significance. We hope that after we finish our Bible study, readers will not only have the burden of interceding for unbelievers but also praying for God's mercy so that people can repent and end this pandemic as soon as possible. Moreover, we must break our natural limitations. We should look at this problem spiritually, and see that God's beautiful blessings and great revival are about to come to China and the world like a tsunami. Before this happens, cleansing is needed. Christians should not live in fear. Instead, we should live in the promises of Psalm 91. This difficult trial period will help unbelievers to repent and be saved while helping believers to go deeper with God. Our prayer is for God to intervene as we diligently intercede for unbelievers to repent and be saved, the pandemic to end and for revival to come. If Aaron's intercession could stop the plague, then it could also have prevented Korah's rebellion in advance. Of course, we know that the nature of human rebellion is very difficult to remove, but at least Jehovah's warned Aaron and Moses to intercede. At our Bible study, I suggested that if Christians all over the world, or at least all Chinese Christians, got up at 5 a.m. every day to pray for China, maybe this coronavirus epidemic would not have come to China. Although we know that some Christians pray faithfully, most Christians probably don't pray enough. This pandemic can't be blamed only on unbelievers; the church is at fault for its lack of intercession and reflection before God. First, let's look at why God chose Kohath to do the most important and holy work rather than his other brothers. We aren't sure why God did this, but the Bible has a regular pattern of choosing the second child. For example, Abel was the second son, and God accepted his sacrifice but despised Cain's, who was the firstborn. He also chose Jacob, the second son over Esau, the firstborn. God chose Joseph's second son Ephraim over Manasseh, the firstborn. There are many other examples of this. Spiritually speaking, it could mean that the first child represents the first man Adam, and the second child represents the las Adam, which is Christ (NIV, 1 Corinthians 15:45). Aaron and Moses were also descendants of Amram, while Korah and Samuel were descendants of another son of Kohath. Samuel is also the descendent of Korah (1 Chronicles 6:38). Amram's wife was Levi's daughter, so whether it was the genealogy from the father's side or the mother's side, Aaron and Moses were descendants of the Levites. Apart from Moses, who could speak with God face to face, the person closest to God was Aaron, the High Priest. Moses represents Christ because Moses said that God would raise a prophet like him and that the Israelites would listen to him (Deuteronomy 18:18-19). Aaron also represents Christ being the High Priest of God, who still intercedes for us in heaven. The objects in the Holy of Holies and sanctuary carried by the Kohathites represent Christ, too, as well as the objects in the outer court carried by the Gershonites and Merarites. The entire tabernacle represents Christ. Aaron and his sons, Kohath, Gershon, and Merari, represent the three stages of service. Their degree of holiness and intimacy is different, so their jurisdiction of coming near the sanctuary and the Holy of Holies is different. Although the Kohathites could carry the objects in the sanctuary, as well as the objects in the Holy of Holies, Jehovah ordered them not to look at the sanctuary, or they would die. Moreover, Jehovah specifically instructed Aaron and Moses not to destroy the Kohathites from among the Levites. So why did Korah's rebellion still happen, and the Kohathites were almost destroyed amongst the Levites? Let me use Confucius's words as a metaphor to explain. Confucius said, "Proximity incurs impertinence while distance incurs complaints." He is describing a type of person - If you are too close to him, he will not respect you. But if you are too far away from him, he will blame you or hate you. I'll be mainly discussing the first aspect here. Let me give a few examples to illustrate. For instance, in ancient China, there are many stories of eunuchs killing the emperor and usurping power. There are even stories about eunuchs taking advantage of the emperor. One of these stories is "calling a stag a horse." When Qin Shihuang, the first emperor who unified China, died, Eunuch Zhao Gao helped Qin Shihuang's second son Hu Hai to become emperor and killed the eldest son who should have succeeded to the throne. But the second emperor, Hu Hai, was very weak, so Eunuch Zhao Gao wanted to usurp power. He wanted to test whether the ministers were obedient to him. Thus, one day he brought a stag to Hu Hai and said it was a horse. He asked the ministers just to say that it was a horse. Many people did not dare to offend Zhao Gao and said that it was a horse. Those who said it was a stag were driven away by Zhao Gao. Hu Hai was later forced to commit suicide. But Zhao Gao did not become emperor in the end. Instead, he was killed by Qin San Shi, the third emperor. I imagine that stories like this are part of Western history as well as Chinese history.When serving the king, there were people like Zhao Gao who didn't respect the king. So, when serving God, would the Levites in the Old Testament make the same mistake and not fear God? The answer is yes. For example, when Jehovah commanded Moses to bring water out of the rock by speaking to it, Moses struck the rock twice instead. Because of this, the Lord punished Moses, saying that he did not honor Him before the Israelites, so he could not enter the Promised Land (Numbers 20:12). Aaron's sons Nadab and Abihu also didn't respect God because they offered strange fire before the Lord, which He did not command, and God struck them dead (Leviticus 10). Aaron and Miriam were jealous of Moses and said, "Hasn't Jehovah also spoken through us?” God got angry and punished Miriam with leprosy (Numbers 12). The Kohathites rebelled against God here in a similar manner. Take a look at these verses in Numbers 16: 16:8 (NIV)Moses also said to Korah, “Now listen, you Levites! 16:9 (NIV) Isn't it enough for you that the God of Israel has separated you from the rest of the Israelite community and brought you near himself to do the work at the Lord's tabernacle and to stand before the community and minister to them? 16:10 (NIV) He has brought you and all your fellow Levites near himself, but now you are trying to get the priesthood too. As a descendant of Kohath, Korah and his fellow Levites were separated by God from the others to service the tabernacle of Jehovah. Over time as they saw the priests packing the holy things, they felt that they, too, were qualified to do the same work as the priests. Familiarity breeds contempt. This is what the quote of Confucius that I cited earlier is trying to say. Aaron and Miriam, and Nadab and Abihu all made the same mistake - Aaron and Miriam were jealous of Moses while Nadab and Abihu offered strange fire to God. Do we make the same mistake today? We do. This is one of the problems facing the church in the United States today. The United States is a Christian country. Many people grew up in places where Christian culture was dominant. It is very easy for them to make the mistake of equating “familiarity” with “intimacy.” These people may possess a lot of knowledge about Christianity and think they understand who Jesus is mentally but haven't openly accepted Jesus Christ as their Savior. Salvation is not based on the knowledge that you've grown up with; it's based on a personal relationship with Jesus. I've met many people who have grown up in Christian families in the United States that have not accepted Christ as their Savior.Another example is someone who has been a leader in a Christian organization or denomination for a long time and has naturally assumed the position as a spiritual leader. He may be taking this for granted. Just because you've been there a long time does not necessarily mean that God has chosen you for the position. It's not about position and time as much as it is about intimacy with the Lord. When you are close to Him, he calls and entrusts you to complete His mission. There is an order of service in God's household. It's not that we can't improve or make progress. Instead, our progress doesn't come from our ambitions or serving out the measure God gave us, or self-approbation, but from the degree of our sanctification and intimacy with God. In addition to serving God in the Holy of Holies, Moses and Aaron's duty was to intercede for people like the Kohathites, to make them more holy, and to pray that they would not go beyond the measure God had given them because they were not holy enough. They also would not be judged because of this, which would lead to the danger of their tribe being destroyed. For a country like China, most people still don't know God. Their situation is like what Paul described in Romans 1. God created everything for people to enjoy. God's nature and power are visible to all of His creation, but many people are blinded by darkness. They do not acknowledge the existence of God. This is a form of contempt. The service of the priests and Levites was to intercede for the Kohathites so they would be free from sin. This is also the duty of the church today. The Bible records that God cannot be mocked (NIV, Galatians 6:7). As servants of God, we should stay focused and intercede for the people that God entrusted to us and not concentrate on what others are doing. This could lead to jealousy and strife. Instead, we should keep our eyes on God and take care of those He entrusted to us. Christianity can become so familiar to us that we equate it with intimacy with God. That is not often the case, and we must be careful to cultivate our relationship with God so we won't be prone to mistakes. Jesus said in Matthew 7:22-23 (NIV), "Many will say to me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name and in your name drive out demons and in your name perform many miracles?' Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!' We need to recognize that Jesus is God and knows everything about us. The tragedy of the verses above is that the people were familiar with Jesus thinking they knew Him, but He made it clear that He didn't know them. The bottom line is that you can't pretend to know God and get by with it because you use the right terminology. That's like mocking Him.The spirit of mocking God comes from Satan. He was “familiar” with God but sinned because he wanted to be equal with God. This spirit is pervasive in countries where Christianity is a minority, as well as in the United States and their churches. David counting the Israelites is a form of mockery. David tried to count his personal merits without glorifying God, so he was judged by God, and the plague came to Israel. The plague killed 70,000 people. Later, when the angel was about to destroy Jerusalem, Jehovah was sorry and relented from the destruction telling the angel that it was enough and to restrain his hand. When David saw the angel who was striking down the people, he said, "I was the one who sinned. Why punish the Israelites? Punish me and my father's house." Then the prophet Gad let David build an altar to the Lord on the threshing floor of Araunah, the Jebusite, and the plague ended. Although David sinned, his heart softened towards God, and he quickly repented. The altar and sacrifice was only a symbol. The true sacrifice penned by David in Psalm 51 is a broken spirit and a broken and contrite heart. This is what He desires; other sacrifices aren't pleasing to Him. The best and fastest way to end the outbreak of the coronavirus is to repent. We should posture ourselves like David and be quick to repent rather than like Saul, who tried to find excuses for himself. We don't want to have a hardened heart like Pharaoh, either. The church must first repent and then intercede for the world to repent. This is one lesson we can learn from the story of Kohath.If we want to grow spiritually and have more authority in the Lord, we need to follow Samuel's lead and offer ourselves as willing servants to God, and in His time, He will raise us up. We don't want to be presumptuous as Korah was, assuming we know more than God when in fact, He hasn't brought us to the place where he can trust us.
Readings* Psalm 78* Psalm 93* Isaiah 55:1–13* Luke 1:1–25* Large Catechism, Part I ¶¶ 263–275CommemorationToday we commemorate David. David was the greatest of the kings of OT Israel, and ruled from about 1010 to 970 BC. Although David’s private conduct showed a mixture of good and bad, it was his fierce loyalty to God that defined his life and his reign. Under David, God fulfilled many of the promises to OT Israel, notably uniting Israel into a single nation with its capital at Jerusalem. Of course, God’s greatest promise would be fulfilled through the promised King — Christ, our Lord.ReaderCorey J.

I originally recorded this interview with David Long to release it to car dealers, but since it was so relevant to ANY leader, I wanted to share it with you all as well! He’s the Executive General Manager at Hansel Automotive Group, located in the San Francisco Bay area. Although David’s profession is in the automotive industry, his true genius is found in how he is able to keep people together, and inspired, through some of the toughest situations. I just had to share it with you.If you are a leader in any way, shape, or form (parents are included in that!), I know you will find encouragement in the stories and wisdom of David. Until next time, I hope you have a blessed and amazing Christmas and Holiday week with those you love the most. All I want for Christmas for both you and I, is CLARITY.. . .pauljdaly.comConnect with Paul J Daly on LinkedInFollow along on InstagramFollow Paul J Daly on TwitterLike Paul J Daly on Facebook
After a lot of silly seriousness last week, this episodes leans more into serious silliness. Although David does have a few things to clarify from LOTR (having watched the Fellowship in 4k now) and on the subject of Psalm-singing (having received a hefty amount of feedback).

Rev. Thomas Eckstein, pastor of Concordia Lutheran Church in Jamestown, North Dakota, joins host Rev. AJ Espinosa to study 2 Samuel 19. “You love those who hate you and hate those who love you. For you have made it clear today that commanders and servants are nothing to you.” Joab’s not wrong. Although David’s grief reflects his unconditional love and forgiveness towards his children, in chapter 19 he goes too far the other way, failing to show gratitude for the men who have bled and died for him. We too sometimes idolize health or family to the point of neglecting our church, our community, or our country. When David returns as king, he grants equal measures of mercy to all, potentially upsetting loyalists. This is however how Jesus Christ shows God’s love, which is less concerned with fairness than with repairing relationships and restoring unity.
Stress and anxiety can take a toll on one’s body. According to WebMD, emotional stress can cause dizziness, a fast heartbeat, the inability to concentrate, headaches, muscle tension, and even short-term memory loss. If not handled well, high emotional stress can have a lasting negative impact. David was in a state of extreme stress. He had experienced danger and persecution (v. 3). His enemies prowled the streets looking for an opportunity to attack him (vv. 9–11). Most poignantly, one of his enemies had been at one time a close friend. He laments, “But it is you, a man like myself, my companion, my close friend with whom I once enjoyed sweet fellowship at the house of God” (vv. 13–14). This situation has taken a physical toll on David. “My heart is in anguish within me; the terrors of death have fallen on me. Fear and trembling have beset me; horror has overwhelmed me” (vv. 4–5). David’s first impulse was to run. “Oh, that I had the wings of a dove! I would fly away and be at rest” (v. 6). Perhaps you have been in a situation where your greatest desire was to flee. David’s heart expressed not the courage of the man who had faced down giants but the timidity of a bird. His second impulse was to turn his anxiety over to God. Although David’s circumstances looked grim, God has not changed (v. 19). He assured himself that God heard his cry for help (v. 17). He knew that God would ultimately judge the wicked (v. 23). This psalm was David’s way of casting his cares on the Lord (v. 22). >> This psalm is a wonderful model of prayer for those who feel that they have been betrayed. David affirmed as his final word in this psalm, “But as for me, I trust in you” (v. 23). Remember that even our Lord Jesus was betrayed by a close friend and surrounded by enemies.
Following Saul and Jonathan’s death, David cried out for silence in the streets and for a curse to descend on the mountain where the mighty of Israel had fallen. Although David’s lament was personal, he led all of Israel in mourning the nation’s calamity. As Alistair Begg explains, his sorrowful grief was a biblical response to death. When we take time to mourn, we show a watching world that death is indeed the last great enemy, even as we look forward to the return of Christ, who alone conquered death. Bible passages: 2 Samuel 1:17-23
A few weeks ago (on September 15th, 2020) we sat down with one of Sonja Morgan's Ex-Interns, Meghan Hubert. We talked about what it is like to work as one of Miss Morgan's interns, a highly sought after coveted position in our most Bravo of Worlds. Although David and Meghan, had a great chat about the iconic position of Intern, Sonja Morgan, not everyone enjoyed the chat as much as the Behind The Velvet Rope listeners. One such person was Sonja. Meghan is back to talk about the fallout from that sit down. Plus, we discuss these just concluded Reunions / Seasons of RHONY and RHOBH, the good, the bad, the other. All this plus more on our latest just released Patreon episode out this weekend. Link Below:https://www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

After his palace is built, David recognizes that he is living in splendor in comparison with the small and unostentatious tabernacle. He desires to build a temple, a “house” in which to place the ark of the covenant (2 Sam. 7).Through Nathan the prophet, however, God puts the shoe on the other foot. David wants to build a “house” for God, but God declares that he himself will build a “house” for David. The word house can refer to a building, but it can extend to household and even to a dynasty (e.g., the house of Windsor). David hopes to build a “house” for God in the first sense; God tells David he is building a “house” for him in the third sense. Although David’s son Solomon will build a “house” for God, in the last analysis God himself is the ultimate Giver, and the “house” he proposes to build will prove more enduring.In this context, then, God makes some remarkable promises to David. “The LORD declares to you that the LORD himself will establish a house for you” (2 Sam. 7:11), God says. To continue David’s line after his death, God adds, “I will raise up your offspring to succeed you, who will come from your own body, and I will establish his kingdom. He is the one who will build a house for my Name, and I will establish the throne of his kingdom forever” (2 Sam. 7:12–13). The referent goes no farther than Solomon. In the storyline of 1 and 2 Samuel, Saul serves as the prime example of a king who reigned and whose throne was not secured, whose “house” was not built. But it will not be so with David. His offspring will reign. When Saul sinned, in due course God rejected him. But when David’s son does wrong, God says, “I will punish him with the rod of men, with floggings inflicted by men. [So this “son” is certainly not Jesus.] But my love will never be taken away from him, as I took it away from Saul” (2 Sam. 7:14–15). So far, then, Solomon occupies the horizon.But then once again God takes the long view: “Your house and your kingdom will endure forever before me; your throne will be established forever” (2 Sam. 7:16). This either means that there will always be someone on the throne in the line of David, or something more powerful. In the course of time, the prophecies about the coming “David” or “son of David” become freighted with much greater promise. Isaiah foresees someone who “will reign on David’s throne and over his kingdom,” but who is also called “Mighty God” and “Everlasting Father” (Isa. 9:6–7). Here is an heir to David who maintains the Davidic dynasty not by passing it on, but by his own eternal reign.

The names of David and Goliath (1 Sam. 17) conjure up a story many have known from their youth. Sometimes David is made into a very little boy, though in reality he is at least a young man who has bested both a lion and a bear. But today the pair of names becomes evocative of little people and organizations taking on the “Goliaths.” Doubtless there are lessons to be learned about courage and boldness, but the most important lessons lie on slightly different lines.(1) Perhaps one should first reflect on the slightly obscure chronology. At the end of 1 Samuel 16, David already appears in Saul’s court to play soothing music; yet after David’s fight with Goliath, Saul must still find out who the young man is (1 Sam. 17:55–58). Skeptical scholarship insists the problem cannot be resolved, and therefore infers that there is plenty of nonhistorical material here. Yet: (a) There is no particular reason why Saul should have made special inquiries into the background of just one more musician in the royal court, no matter how soothing he was. Saul may not have been motivated to find out until after the events in chapter 17. (b) More probably, the events in chapter 17 may have taken place before 15:14–23. Hebrew verbs do not convey time distinctions the way English verbs do, and it has been shown that there is no reason why we could not translate 17:1, “Now the Philistines had gathered …” etc., establishing important background for the relationship between Saul and David that occupies the attention of the succeeding chapters.(2) Although David’s words to army personnel (1 Sam. 17:26) could be taken as the impetuous arrogance of untested youth (and certainly David’s brother Eliab took them that way, 1 Sam. 17:28), behind the brashness is a transparent concern for the glory of God, a concern that drives him to answer Goliath without a hint of personal bravado but with an abundance of faith (1 Sam. 17:45–47). Of course, manipulators sometimes hide behind God-talk. But David is not of that ilk. At this stage of life he might be faulted for lacking the polish of self-restraint, but at least his heart is in the right place.(3) Above all, one must not read this chapter without remembering Samuel’s anointing of David: “from that day on the Spirit of the LORD came upon David in power” (1 Sam. 16:13). There lies the source of the God-centeredness, the source of the courage, of the unerring aim, the great victory, and the elevation of the name and glory of God.The text calls us not to admire David the man and no more, but to ponder what the Spirit of God may do with one person.

This weeks Episode – I had the pleasure of hosting a very good friend of mine David Wilcock, who is currently the head of sales and development at Abbeydale food group limited. Although David has a very successful sales background, this is not the reason for his appearance and after a few discussions, I feel very privileged to be able to have created a podcast for people to share powerful stories. David's story is about his motivation and drive to succeed as an entrepreneur and business owner BUT it didn't go to plan…… In the current climate I feel this is a subject that should be shared, please feel free to reach out and connect with either myself or David to start a conversation.

Hey everyone! Welcome back to another episode on Testimony Tuesday. This week's episode is a continuation of our salvation series. As you already know we have decided to do a three part series on salvation to depict the different situations where God has saved people. This week's episode is from brother David. Although David was born in a christian home, he takes us through his journey as a christian. He emphasies that a christian journey is not easy, but it is the best journey someone could go on. There is more to a christian life than trying to look like the perfect christian no one is perfect. We need to learn to work on our hearts as this is the way that God will judge us. I hope this testimony speaks to you and stay tuned for next week's episode where you will hear more from us. God bless you. Instagram: Hisw.ord Email: hisgodlyword@gmail.com
Man, what a nonsense radio show. First, how do you begin your show saying: the radio show that no one listens? Another point, a two hours radio show is very very long. You could record between 30 minutes and one hour, but never two hours; that is my point of view. I am sorry. About the songs you have played, it felt like playing random songs from your playlist. David Cooper, my man, I suggest that you may follow a script in order to organize the topics. "How do you go from annoying to accepttance to david" in my opnion is a very personal question in a wide broadcast like this. The british guy tony was the funnest part, it was so weard lol. i dont understand keegan at all weird person. And what about the door openning noise lol. Although David to be a littel crazy, he is her girlfriend manager, in his words, off course. Pedro from Brazil rates this episode 3 stars.
“When I shut up the heavens so that there is no rain, or command the locust to devour the land, or send pestilence among my people, if my people who are called by my name humble themselves, and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and heal their land.” 2 Chronicles 7:13-14I’ve seen this passage referenced many times during the past several weeks. It is familiar to me, and quite special because I grew up hearing my mom and her sisters sing a popular trio in our church that is based on these words. I love the verses and the song, but sometimes I don’t understand it. I struggle deeply with prayer. Several of the Devotable authors are putting out a book on prayer, but it’s difficult to think I will ever be comfortable with my prayer life.I’ve lived with an awareness of my infertility for 10 years. Nearly 120 months of unanswered prayer is not easy to reconcile with my God, who I know is faithful. I’ve learned an incredible amount of wisdom during this time, but my mind plays tricks on me. I’ve started to believe that God wants to bless everyone but me. I must be doing something wrong. Although I know I am a sinner, I know this mindset is not the whole perspective of God on my life. It’s simply not true to His Word or His nature.Solomon's PrayerSo I decided to do some extra study on these verses. I learned that God said these words in response to Solomon’s prayer at the dedication of the temple. The first idea for the temple came in 2 Samuel 7:13. David said, “see now, I dwell in a house of cedar, but the ark of God dwells in a tent.” David saw what he had, and he was thankful. That thankfulness turned into action and blessings from God. Although David did not get to build the temple, he gathered the supplies. God promised that David’s family would sit on the throne of Israel forever – a picture of Christ to come.David’s son Solomon built the temple, and at the dedication of the temple in 2 Chronicles 6, he asked God to bless His people by blessing the temple. This would be the place where the Israelites would pray for wisdom and relief from distress. His prayer of dedication covered many topics, but I began to see that specifically he prayed about everything in God’s answer.Listening to the prayers made in the temple (6:21)forgiveness (6:21)drought, locusts and pestilence (6:28)I’d never thought about this passage that way before. Solomon prayed, and God answered his specifics. Then God reminded me of something that has become very near and dear to my heart: I am the temple. 1 Corinthians 3:16 says “Do you not know that you are God’s temple and that God’s Spirit dwells in you?” Every day I need to think like David and pray like Solomon. I must dedicate myself to the Lord intentionally and not let my thoughts stray from the truth.God Answers Prayer in His Own TimeI’m still struggling and learning. When I have trouble beginning a prayer, I will spend several minutes writing down what I am thankful for. If I do this, I can cultivate an attitude of trust in God’s faithfulness so I can begin to bring my specific requests to Him. I pray, and God answers in His time. Never yet with a child, but with contentment and intimacy.The next few verses in the passage are not as commonly known, so I challenge you to memorize them as well. We can treasure them as God’s blessing for us, His “temples.” “Now my eyes will be open and my ears attentive to the prayer that is made in this place. For now I have chosen and consecrated this house that my name may be there forever. My eyes and my heart will be there for all time.” 2 Chronicles 7:15-16Read the full devotion at https://devotableapp.com/daily-devotion-2-chronicles-7-13-14-dedication-of-the-temple/
“There is no “us and them” to the coronavirus; we are all just us. It’s a costly lesson, but at this divisive time, it is of great value.”Dr. David KatzThe media fervor currently swirling the pandemic is a fever of conflicting data and performative politics. Black and white, it's either sequester ad infinitum or back to work now — a conversation devoid of nuance.How to discern fact from fiction? Separate opinion from data? Politics from perspective?Like me, I suspect you're frustrated — yearning for evidence-based answers over conjecture; considered strategy over confusion; and objectivity over punditry.I can’t tell you when this alternate reality (which has morphed into a distorted normality) will cease. What I can offer is the experience and perception of one of the best and brightest in public health and preventive medicine.Meet David L. Katz, MD, MPH FACPM, FACP, FACLM.A pioneering voice in functional lifestyle medicine, David is a graduate of Dartmouth, the Albert Einstein College of Medicine & Yale School of Public Health. In addition, he is the founding director of Yale University’s Yale-Griffen Prevention Research Center, a past-president of the American College of Lifestyle Medicine, and the founder & president of the True Health Initiative, a non-profit coalition of more than 500 world-renowned physicians, scientists, and nutrition experts (including myself, the least qualified member of this coalition) committed to establishing and communicating a growing scientific consensus on the optimal diet for human beings and the planet.The recipient of 3 honorary doctorates, David was also a James Beard Award nominee in 2019 for health journalism, has contributed countless articles to top medical journals along with op-eds in The New York Times and other magazines, and somehow found the time to write 17 books, including his latest, How To Eat, which he co-authored with the great Mark Bittman.Although David has been a prominent voice in nutrition science and lifestyle medicine for many years, the pandemic has suddenly foisted him into a very bright spotlight.Currently making the major media rounds, you might have caught one of his recent appearances on Real Time With Bill Maher, CNN or Fox News, where he's been advocating for a more data-driven, targeted public health response to coronavirus.It's a strategy he calls vertical interdiction. It's (strangely) controversial. And it's the focus of today’s conversation — a nuanced discourse on improving how we consider and navigate the landmines of this unique global predicament.I appreciate David's thoughtful perspective and his commitment to service (including treating COVID-19 patients on the outbreak frontlines in the Bronx). He’s eloquent and data-driven. Evidence-based and no-nonsense. And quite charming to boot.To anyone suffering from the virus or the effects of it, my heart goes out to you. This pandemic is hurting us all, some in more catastrophic ways than others. I hope Dr. Katz’s words bring you comfort — he gets as close as he can to providing us with the answers we are all so desperately seeking.The visually inclined can watch it go down on YouTube.

Rev. Kevin Parviz, pastor of Congregation Chai v’Shalom in St. Louis, Missouri, joins host Rev. AJ Espinosa to study Psalm 21. No mere military anthem, Psalm 21 emphasizes God from the outset: “O LORD, in your strength the king rejoices.” Although David praises God for answering his particular prayers, the focus is not on individuals but the whole Davidic line and the whole people of God. David had only begun to discover God’s goodness. God promised to bless the Davidic line “forever and ever,” and each king He protected for “length of days”—but only to Jesus Christ the true king did He give eternal resurrected life. Christ became like us, God’s “enemies,” so that we might share in His feast and celebration.

Readings* Psalm 78* Psalm 93* Isaiah 55:1–13* Luke 1:1–25* Large Catechism, Part I ¶¶ 263–275CommemorationToday we commemorate David. David was the greatest of the kings of OT Israel, and ruled from about 1010 to 970 BC. Although David’s private conduct showed a mixture of good and bad, it was his fierce loyalty to God that defined his life and his reign. Under David, God fulfilled many of the promises to OT Israel, notably uniting Israel into a single nation with its capital at Jerusalem. Of course, God’s greatest promise would be fulfilled through the promised King — Christ, our Lord.ReaderCorey J.

Boring episode, probably because of somewhat boring callers. "Future ex-wife", nice phrase used by David, heard it first time. Another nice phrase was by a caller calling for having a "2020 vision" for next year. Nothing much to remember from the episode. Oh, and David Cooper officially called this show a PODCAST! He specifically said it is a podcast, not a radio show. Then why in the hell does his website jew.pizza keep reminding us in the face that it's NOT a podcast? Explain this contradiction!! I like the callers though. They seem to be simple, down to earth people. We internet people tend to forget all these things in our hypocritical social circle. This show happening in a physical coffee shop, letting people call from outside phone booth, broadcasting on radio, and letting people do phone calls.. all these things seem to bring a sense of old tradition, and with it the groundedness. Although David himself, like me, is pretty hypocritical, but it seems he craves honesty, groundedness, interacting with down to earth people. And that's why he made this show this way. Sandeep from India rates this episode 2 out of 5 stars. [Editor's note: it's not a podcast, it's a radio show.]
It’s early morning, Feb 15th 2013, and an experienced cyclist is finishing up his training ride in Redondo Beach. He’s ridden this route many times before without danger. Why should today be any different? Suddenly, out of nowhere a vehicle turns in front of him, cutting him off. David Adler, who is traveling 23.4 miles an hour, slams full force into the side of the car - breaking 25 bones, puncturing both lungs - and causing a brain injury that will not be detected until it’s almost too late. David Adler survived the horrific bike crash which nearly ended his life. But the nightmare continued for the next 6 years - truly testing David’s will to survive. Although David’s broken bones eventually healed, a suspected internal injury began to present symptoms - creating confusion and turmoil for this father of two. BUT he kept it from his wife and family – that was… until, the night he reached breaking point. This is the incredible story of how resilience, determination and a strong relationship, has built a road back to recovery while also igniting a burning desire to help others living with traumatic brain injuries.
Although David's faith in God is tested for yet a third time while in the wilderness fleeing from King Saul, he has now come to have a deeper knowledge and confidence in God's presence, providence and salvation.

Although David had the power to implement social justice, he is tempted repeatedly to make it so. This passage reveals how God governed his action, sparing him from despotism.
Although David has been favored in the eyes of the general population because of his bravery, boldness, and success, he is not safe to be near the king. This passage demonstrates God's sovereign protection.
Although David had already been anointed to be the next king, he has a lot to learn. This passage reveals the need to consult God in order to determine one's course.
Although David had many a splendid foil for his on-stage antics over the years, no one compares to the dazzling Spider with the Platinum Hair. From his roots on the mean streets of 1960’s Hull - to the dyed-blonde roots of Glam Rock’s greatest guitarist - this, the first of two episodes looking at the life of Mick, sees Rob and Marc follow him from his School Days - into a Showbiz Daze.As well as continuing the podcast journey from A to Z you can also immerse yourself in more Bowie related interviews, quizzes, and filmed pieces at our exclusive members club called "Cheap Things", simply by following the link www.patreon.com/cheapthings See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
An interview with Colorado photographer David Gay (IG:DavidG__Photography). Although David has only been photographing for 1 year, his skillset is far superior to many others in the area. His amazing composition and foregrounds draw the viewer into the photo while his amazing editing workflow seals the deal. Listen to my interview with David for more insight on who he is and why he loves photography.
At the early age of 4, David Dilks began his first career as a classical pianist and played competitively from age 5 until 13, even performing at Carnegie Hall in NYC and the Academy of Music in Philadelphia. Although David found success early on with his musical talents, he never wanted to play the piano. He often felt loads of outside pressure to continue playing and perform at a high level. By age 14, he was escaping reality on a weekly basis, by downing Busch light and smoking weed. Two years earlier, he was prescribed Adderall which did a great job masking his emotional pain by further altering his developing brain chemistry and giving his mother a pharmacological excuse for his "bad" behavior. During his college years, pain-killers would become his go to when he just couldn't deal with reality anymore. After college, David moved to NYC to pursue his dreams of rock stardom, which is where he would encounter heroin for the first time. His usage wouldn't last long, and after going through withdrawal symptoms he would stay clean from heroin for nearly 10 years. Fast forward to a move to Rhode Island, marriage, a child and other life pressures, stress was quickly building for David. He found himself needing an escape. However, as you'll find out in this interview his addiction to pills and heroin wasn't so easy to give up this time. After reaching his breaking point, he decided it was time for rehab. Now 2.5 years clean, David is becoming an advocate for helping others overcome their own heroin addiction. He's even working on a book to share his story and help inspire others to overcome their own addictions. In This Episode, You Will Learn: Why stressful early years led him to finding ways to escape What led David to trying heroin How he was able to overcome his heroin addiction How he's been handling triggers His biggest struggles so far with staying clean Why having the right support system is critical in any recovery How David feels when he tells someone he was a heroin addict Why he feels the need to share his story
David addresses a question submitted by a listener after he heard the introductory podcasts on the Five Secrets of Effective Communication. He questioned the value of the Disarming Technique, and protested that every time he "turned the other cheek" he simply ended up with two sore cheeks! A great question, and David and Fabrice share their thinking. Many people, including therapists, are afraid of the Disarming Technique, thinking that something terrible will happen if they agree with someone who is criticizing them. They emphasize the value of questions submitted by you, the listeners, and also suggest giving specific examples when they are having trouble using the Five Secrets. Specifically, if you write down exactly what the other person said to you, and exactly what you said next, David and Fabrice will gladly analyze the interaction and show you what errors you made that caused a bad outcome, as well as how to correct those errors! David and Fabrice then discuss Thought and Feeling Empathy, the second of the Five Secrets of Effective Communication. The definition of Thought Empathy is repeating or paraphrasing what the other person is saying, so he or she will see that you listened and got the message. Feeling Empathy, in contrast, involves acknowledging how the other person is likely to be feeling, given what he or she just said. You can often follow this with Inquiry, asking if you got it right, and inviting the other person to tell you more about what he or she is thinking. Although David does not like formulas, they can sometimes help you get started. So here's the formula: Thought Empathy: Let me see if I got what you just said. You told me that A, B, and C. (A, B, and C would be what the person said to you, using his or her words.) Feeling Empathy: Given what you just said, I can imagine you might be feeling X, Y, and Z. (X, Y, and Z would be words from the Feeling Words list.) Inquiry: Did I get that right? Can you tell me more about what you've been thinking and feeling? These techniques are invaluable in therapy, and go back to the pioneering work of Karl Rodgers, who argued that therapist empathy is the necessary and sufficient condition for personality change. Although subsequent research did not confirm this idea, there is still little argument that empathy is absolutely necessary for good therapeutic work. In addition, skillful empathy is for everyone, and can greatly enhance your relationships with family members, friends, and colleagues, and strangers as well. For example, if you have a family member or friend who is feeling anxious, down, angry, or depressed, the skillful use of Thought and Empathy will almost always be far more effective than trying to help, rescue, or "fix" that person. David brings Thought and Feeling Empathy to life with an example of a patient who criticizes his therapist, and then asks listeners, including you, to pause the podcast briefly so you can write down, from memory, what the patient just said. Most therapists who try this end up "forgetting" or editing out important portions of what the patient said. This irritates the other person, because you clearly did not "get it," and his or her attack or complaining will usually escalate. David and Fabrice discuss common errors therapists and general public make when trying to use Thought and Feeling Empathy. The most common error involves using the techniques in a robot-like manner, parroting back the other person's statements repeatedly, without using "I Feel" Statements. They illustrate this error with a humorous example. Other common errors when using Thought and Feeling Empathy include: Helping Rescuing Giving advice Correcting distortions Making interpretations Failing to acknowledge the other person's anger David encourages listeners (that includes you!) to try using Thought and Feeling Empathy three times each day, even in superficial interactions with people in any setting, such as the grocery store, and give examples of how to do this. Although this will not be the deepest application of these techniques, the practice will give you a clear understanding of how these techniques actually work. David and Fabrice end this podcast with a powerful example of Thought and Feeling Empathy during an actual therapy session in David's weekly psychotherapy training group. The "patient" in the therapy is a TEAM-CBT therapist named Rhonda who became depressed and anxious after receiving some critical therapy from a participant in a therapy group she was teaching. Even if you are not a therapist, you can perhaps identify with the "ouch" we all feel when we are criticized by someone, and it hits a vulnerable spot. This is an almost universal human concern. It is so easy to feel hurt, depressed, ashamed, anxious, inadequate, and perhaps even a bit angry! David invited one of the therapists in the group to empathize with Rhonda, as a part of his training, but he ended up with a less than stellar grade. David, Fabrice and Rhonda explain the errors he made--which actually made her feel worse. Making errors is totally okay in a training and learning situation, as well as in real therapy sessions--as long as you get feedback and try to correct your errors with humility. This can actually deepen the therapeutic relationship. David then asked Dr. Jill Levitt to try to model empathy again, and to address Rhonda's concerns. Jill hits the ball out of the park and gets an A+ on empathy. David and Fabrice explain why her intervention was so effective, and why the Five Secrets have to come from the heart if they are to be maximally effective. Jill is a master therapist and co-teaches the weekly TEAM-CBT training group, along with David and Dr. Helen Yeni-Komshian. If you would like to hear more of Jill's fabulous empathy work, make sure you listen to the live therapy podcasts with Mark, the physician who felt like a failure as a father! Next week, Helen returns for the remaining Podcasts on the Five Secrets!
Miami Interior Designer: David Charette Today in The Lounge, Nick chats with David Charette, one half of the Miami based design firm Britto Charette, from the Porcelanosa flagship building in NYC. Learn about David's early days as a designer, his journey to Miami, and the lessons he learned from opening a design firm shortly after an economic recession. Getting to Know David David, a Michigan native, loves: to travel, shoes and Tesla. Unfortunately, he doesn't drive a Tesla (he drives a land rover) but he finds himself drawn to the environmentally conscious concept and brand behind Tesla. His favorite accessory is shoes, Jimmy Choo being his brand of choice as they have a lot of options for men and garner lots of compliments. David's parents were school teachers who taught him the importance of education, tenacity and to never give up. They also instilled his love of travel. He has been traveling since the age of two. Some of his favorite places are Florence, Berlin, Paris, and Hong Kong. In the US, he is drawn to the excitement of Manhattan and its many skyscrapers. One of David's strengths has been drawing and sketching. Growing up, he found that he was always putting together spaces, shapes and volumes and building models with Legos. He also had strong drawing and hand sketching abilities, which he now uses as a tool to communicate with clients to articulate his ideas. David began studying Fine Arts and Sculpture at Aquinas University in Grand Rapids. However, after receiving feedback that most of his work was architectural in nature he transferred to the University of Detroit where he received a Bachelor of Architecture (professional architecture degree). He taught 3rd-year studio at the University before he departed to focus on his professional work. Although David is passionate about core and shell architecture, he found himself drawn to interior design due to the project time frame and increased client connection. When constructing a new building from the ground up, the process could take between 3-4 years. There is immediacy to interior design, where a project could be complete in around 6 months. With interiors, David found much more client contact and interaction with the end users. There was also more of a personal connection since people typically experience a building from the inside. Professional Life David began working at Smith Group where he focused on higher education, corporate projects, and top secret spaces. After this, he moved around a bit interning in Cleveland and Chicago before landing at the San Francisco office of Perkins and Will. At Perkins and Will he worked on one of his largest projects, Princess Nora University, for 45,000 students in Beirut. It was a fast-track project, going from design to completion in 4 years. Working on this project allowed him to live and work in Beirut as a member of the design team and also travel to Miami and Chicago for various team meetings. At a trip to Chicago for NeoCon, a trade show for commercial interior design, David met his future business partner, Jay Britto. After a series of casual conversations, David noticed that they had similar tastes and he found himself growing increasingly frustrated with his experience in large corporate environments. Fueled by a lack of recognition for his participation in an industrial design project on display at NeoCon, Jay and David decided to work together and create their own firm: Britto Charette. As designers, they are both equally creative. They work organically; sharing most of the work and naturally dividing project demands. David calls his move to Miami a calculated risk. It is a very architectural city with large room to grow and invest. Creating and Maintaining the Business David accredits three steps to creating his business: a strong business plan, staffing, and technology. Opening in 2010 when Miami was beginning to come back from the collapse of the condo market,
Today’s guest, a Columbus Student Entrepreneur Award winner, is involved in the student entrepreneur program of EO. Currently pursuing his undergraduate degree at Ohio State, David Butcher is also running a business called FlyBy BBQ. In this episode, David talks about the start of his current business, what inspired him to become an entrepreneur, the various business plan competitions he’s been involved in, and he shares some advice for young people who want to become entrepreneurs. Key Takeaways: [:47] David shares how he got to where he is now: His entrepreneurial ambitions stemmed from his family, watching his dad turn his normal job into a business that not only supported his family, but also gave opportunity to other community members. The past few years have been David trying to figure out exactly what it is he wanted to do. This culminated into his current project: FlyBy BBQ. [3:56] While he was working on a different idea for a business plan competition at Ohio State, his meetings led to many observations about how people like to eat. FlyBy is working to revitalize barbeque and make it something fun. [5:02] As a student who also has a running business, what is more important? David reckons it’s usually about a 70-30 ratio of business to school. His preparations in high school set him up to be in a good place with his college courses before he even got there. [6:19] David reflects on his experience in different business plan competitions. His biggest takeaway has been realizing that the importance of a business plan is being able to start something — once you get started, there is opportunity for ideas to develop and change as you go along. But you have to take that first step forward. He also speaks about how valuable the actual pitch is — designing and being able to articulate your story is important for doing well. [11:10] What was David’s entrepreneurial spark? Although David’s dad showed him what it was, he never really taught him about it. As a kid David really admired Steve Jobs, and he was inspired by the idea that he could change things and build his own things and have influence. His school environment also fostered growth and independence, which was really empowering for his entrepreneurial spirit. [15:04] Many people from the younger generation have a desire to make an impact on the world. David and Kevin talk about entrepreneurship as a vehicle to make this impact. David feels that with the way things are constantly changing, entrepreneurship allows you to do something for yourself, and if something happens, it’s on your own terms. From the financial side, many people are enticed by the monetary reward and feel it’s worth the risk. [17:40] David talks about his team for FlyBy BBQ. Using his resources, he found people who were knowledgeable in their fields, and their expertise would benefit the operations of his business. [18:41] How can Kevin and EO help FlyBy BBQ? David is always looking for feedback and people to share their story. They’re currently in their last phase, which is the food truck. It’ll be launching in Dayton in mid-April in the Fair Warren/Beaver Creek area, so come on down!

David and Fabrice are joined by Lisa Kelley, a certified TEAM-CBT therapist and former journalist from Littleton, Colorado. Lisa interviews David about an interview / blog David has just published on this website. Lisa begins by asking how people responded to a survey on David’s website asking this controversial question: “Do you believe that a depressed individual could experience a complete elimination of symptoms in a single, two-hour therapy session?” More than 5,000 individuals completed the survey and most were extremely skeptical. David states that ten years ago, he would have felt exactly the same way, and would have dismissed anyone making such a claim as a con artist. However, he has now changed his mind and believes that sometimes it is possible. David explains that he has done more than 50 live demonstrations in workshops and other teaching settings with individuals who are struggling with severe feelings of depression, anxiety, shame and anger. Many of these individuals who volunteer to be the patient have experienced horrific personal traumas. This gives David the opportunity to demonstrate how TEAM-CBT works with someone who is really suffering, and not just a role-playing demonstration. Usually, these live demonstrations are the highlight of a workshop because they are intensely emotional and real. Surprisingly, in the vast majority of these sessions, the individuals who were in the patient role experienced a complete, or near-complete, elimination of symptoms in roughly two hours. David emphasizes that while we would not expect this to generalize to a clinical practice situation, it does seem to suggest significant improvements, or even breakthroughs, in psychotherapy. Many of the new developments have to do with helping patients overcome their resistance to change. Although David makes these techniques look easy, they are challenging to learn, and require a radically new and different way of thinking about why patients sometimes resist change and fight the therapist. Lisa, Fabrice, and David explain exactly how the new techniques work, using as an example an Asian-American woman who had experienced decades of domestic violence and rape.
David Haley kicks off our new series, 'A Heart After God's Heart' which explores the Psalms and King David. In this sermon entitled "Undivided Heart" David explores the differences between King David and Saul. Although David is often portrayed as a hero in the Bible, he was in fact a pretty awful person who used his power to hurt many people. Compared to David, Saul, from all appearances, was a pretty stand up guy who had his stuff together. However, why does scripture call David '..a man after God's own heart'? David Haley explores this and more.

Although David was a man of God, and Israel's greatest king, he was a lousy father. But despite that, he can teach us how to be better fathers, when we look at David's parting advice to his son Solomon. Pastor Luke teaches from 1 Kings 2:1-12 in "Fatherly Advice," part 3 of his 9-part series, "Summer Blockbusters."
