In this episode, Aminta dives into our role as peacemakers in today's world. We are called to be people who seek unity, harmony, and reconciliation. Is being a peacemaker possible in today's divided culture? Can we build with people we don't agree with? What does it look like to build? Join MInt for this practical lesson on being an agent of peace. Support the show

In this episode, Aminta talks about what it means to be pure when living in a culture that does not value the standards set forth in the Bible. Join her and explore what God's Word has to say about doing the right thing in a world gone wrong. Support the show

In this episode, Aminta jumps into what it looks like to be a person who is full of mercy. Why do we need to forgive always and how is it possible? We have a sure foundation in the daily mercyies of God and the ultimate act of mercy in Jesus Christ. With that understanding, we can walk forward in forgiveness. Let's get practical about how to let things go!Support the show

In this episode, Aminta talks about what it means to hunger and thirst for righteousness. In this life, we have a choice to make about what we pursue: the things of this world, or the God of this world. Scripture is clear that we cannot chase both! What can we do to desire the one thing that truly satisfies? Are you intentional with what you are spending your time, talent and treasure on? Grab those earbuds and let's go. Support the show

In this episode, Aminta talks about the concept of biblical meekness. The term means "power under control" and is NOT about weakness. Instead, meek means using our talents, abilities, influence and resources for God's plan and not our own. In a time when culture says we can "be anything we want to be," let's learn to be "anything God wants us to be."Support the show

In this episode, Aminta dives into the real meaning behind the word "mourn" in the 2nd beatitude. More than just grieving, mourning is a heart posture of repentance when we fall short of God's righteous standard. In a time when there is no cultural sense of "right" or "wrong," and people don't feel bad when sin, this type of mourning is rare. Discover the incredible grace and mercy of a loving God that is waiting on the other side of this mindset. We are truly fully seen and fully loved, no matter how many times we mess up. We can mourn without shame!Support the show

In this episode, Aminta talks about the first of the Great 8: to admit we need God. We live in a culture that values and elevates self :self-sufficiency, self-made, self-esteem, and self-care. The Kingdom of God is opposite! God made us to be dependent on him for everything! Our greatest strength is being able to admit that we fall short and need him in order to live out our faith. Let's dive in together. For additional resources: visit amintageisler.comSupport the show

Significato, struttura e trama dell'Aminta di Torquato Tasso, la favola pastorale in cinque atti scritta nel 1573 per il teatro.

Viaggiando e Mangiando: Panorami, Vini e Amore per la Storia!

Candles have become a staple of self-care culture — especially in recent years as more people look for ways to slow down and decompress. For many, lighting a candle isn’t just about ambiance—it’s a daily ritual, a moment to reset, reflect, and create a sense of comfort at home. That was definitely true for Aminta Freeman, the founder of Moodie Vibes—a candle company she launched out of her Staten Island home during the pandemic. A Brooklyn native and daughter of Guatemalan immigrants, Aminta was looking for a way to manage the stress of a demanding job, single motherhood, and the uncertainty of the world around her. Blending scents started as a personal ritual, but soon turned into something much bigger. Today, I sit down with Aminta to learn more about how she built her business from the ground up, why she chose to focus on scent and mood, and how her cultural roots and life experiences continue to shape her brand. https://epicenter-nyc.com/moodie-vibes-the-scents-of-self-care/ https://moodievibes.com/ See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this episode, Aminta begins a series called "Intimate," a focus on who God is. So many of us believe in God, but do we really know him? We pray to him, but are we intimately acquainted with him? Knowing God is so critical to fighting our spiritual battles and finding breakthrough. When we know our Commander, we aren't as prone to fall for the lies and attacks of the enemy. Join us as we dive into Exodus 33 & 34, when God reveals who he is to Moses. This episode focuses on the name of God, Yahweh, and the goodness of his character. To contact Mint, click here.

Exposing the interconnections between zionism and settler colonialism. During today's episode, we discuss the historical roots of zionism as well as its modern atrocities, including the murder and displacement of Palestinians.

The story of how the Lisu of southwest China were evangelized one hundred years ago by the China Inland Mission is a familiar one in mission circles. The subsequent history of the Lisu church, however, is much less well known. Songs of the Lisu Hills: Practicing Christianity in Southwest China (Penn State University Press, 2020) brings this history up to date, recounting the unlikely story of how the Lisu maintained their faith through twenty-two years of government persecution and illuminating how Lisu Christians transformed the text-based religion brought by the missionaries into a faith centered around an embodied set of Christian practices. Based on ethnographic fieldwork as well as archival research, this volume documents the development of Lisu Christianity, both through larger social forces and through the stories of individual believers. It explores how the Lisu, most of whom remain subsistence farmers, have oriented their faith less around cognitive notions of belief and more around participation in a rhythm of shared Christian practices, such as line dancing, attending church and festivals, evangelizing, working in one another's fields, and singing translated Western hymns. These embodied practices demonstrate how Christianity developed in the mountainous margins of the world's largest atheist state. A much-needed expansion of the Lisu story into a complex study of the evolution of a world Christian community, this book will appeal to scholars working at the intersections of World Christianity, anthropology of religion, ethnography, Chinese Christianity, and mission studies. Byung Ho Choi is a Ph.D. student in the Department of History & Ecumenics, focusing on World Christianity and history of religions at Princeton Theological Seminary. His research interest lies in Indonesia and the Muslim dominant regions of Southeast Asia, from the postcolonial approach to Christianity and the coexistence of various religions, including the study of Christianity and the Islamic faith in a Muslim dominant society that includes challenges of ethnic diversity.
