This message explores the truth that everything God has given you carries purpose. That purpose can be fulfilled through three key channels:Personality Even the most mundane things about you, your beauty, your love for travel, your love for knowledge, your intelligence God placed them in you for a reason.Relationships, The people you meet are not by accident; God will connect you permanently with those who align with your purpose. Nothing God gives you is for nothing. No matter how you were born, God is in a hurry to accomplish many things before He comes, and He will use you in the corporate space, in your talents, and in what you love to do. No one comes to the earth without a purpose made in advance. You were born in the right era, and you will not waste away.Your Salvation and Faith, Faith is essential to face life correctly. If you are not bold, you will take a long time to reach where you are going. Faith does not deny facts; it simply acknowledges a greater truth.The message also highlights biblical examples: Esther, whom God positioned as queen to save the Jews showing that God can manipulate things and people for your sake and Joseph of Arimathea, a man of means whose resources were used to bury Jesus honorably.

You hit six figures. Then seven. And instead of feeling settled, something else starts happening: you're saying no more than you ever have, the people around you stop seeing your struggle, and somehow you feel more used and more alone than when you started.   In this episode, Rachel Wortman breaks down four things that happen to your heart when your business starts working, the parts of success nobody puts in a course. Drawing from coaching nearly 140 businesses with combined revenue close to $40 million, Rachel names what's actually going on when success gets disorienting: the guilt of learning to say no, becoming blind to your own weight because you carry it well, getting dehumanized by people who need you to be less than human, and the slow realization that you're being used and can't say so out loud.   She also shares a story from her own life, a milestone trip to Paris and Lake Como that turned into one of the hardest seasons of her adult life the moment she got home, and what she learned about betrayal, forgiveness, and staying in her calling anyway.   If you're building something and it's starting to work, and it feels heavier than you expected, this episode is for you.   In this episode:   -Why successful entrepreneurs have to relearn how to say no -The hidden cost of carrying weight well -How success gets you dehumanized in other people's eyes -Why you get used by people and can't call it out -Joseph of Arimathea, Lydia, and what the Bible says about funders -A personal story of betrayal and how Rachel worked through it   Find Rachel on YouTube! https://www.youtube.com/@therachelwortman Join us in person at the Signet Conference.

When Jesus was arrested, condemned, crucified, and buried, His most visible followers had scattered. Yet two unexpected men stepped forward to care for His body: Joseph of Arimathea, a wealthy and respected member of the Jewish council, and Nicodemus, the Pharisee who first came to Jesus under cover of night. But were these men truly saved? Were they genuine followers of Jesus Christ—or were they religious leaders who admired Jesus without ever experiencing the new birth He described in John 3?

Daniel 6:16-18 “So at last the king gave orders for Daniel to be arrested and thrown into the den of lions. The king said to him, “May your God, whom you serve so faithfully, rescue you.” A stone was brought and placed over the mouth of the den. The king sealed the stone with his own royal seal and the seals of his nobles, so that no one could rescue Daniel. Then the king returned to his palace and spent the night fasting. He refused his usual entertainment and couldn't sleep at all that night.” Daniel was surely dead. Mark 15:43-47 “Joseph of Arimathea took a risk and went to Pilate and asked for Jesus' body. (Joseph was an honored member of the high council, and he was waiting for the Kingdom of God to come.) Pilate couldn't believe that Jesus was already dead, so he called for the Roman officer and asked if he had died yet. The officer confirmed that Jesus was dead, so Pilate told Joseph he could have the body. Joseph bought a long sheet o linen cloth. Then he took Jesus body down form the cross, wrapped it in the cloth, and laid it in a tomb that had been carved out of the rock. Then he rolled a stone in front o the entrance. Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joseph saw where Jesus' body was laid.” Jesus was surely dead… Daniel 6:19-22 “Very early the next morning, the king got up and hurried out to the lions' den. When he got there, he called out in anguish, “Daniel, servant of the living God! Was your God, whom you serve so faithfully, able to rescue you from the lions?” Daniel answered, “Long live the king! My God sent his angel to shut the lions' mouths so that they would not hurt me, for I have been found innocent in his sight. And I have not wronged you, Your Majesty.” The king was overjoyed and ordered that Daniel be lifted from the den. Not a scratch was found on him, for he had trusted in his God.” Daniel was saved from death by the power of the Lord. Mark 16:1-6 “Saturday evening, when the Sabbath ended, Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James, and Salome went out and purchased burial spices so they could anoint Jesus' body. Very early on Sunday morning, just at sunrise, they went to the tomb. On the way they were asking each other, “Who will roll away the stone for us from the entrance to the tomb?” But as they arrived, they looked up and saw that the stone, which was very large, had already been rolled aside. When they entered the tomb, they saw a young man clothed in a white robe sitting on the right side. The women were shocked, but the angel said, “Don't be alarmed. You are looking for Jesus of Nazareth, who was crucified. He isn't here! He is risen from the dead! Look, this is where they laid his body.” As morning came, the stone rolled away, Daniel stepped out from the lions' den unmarked — miraculously saved by the Lord. As morning came, Jesus arose victorious over death and we will too! You are surely dead. You are dead in your trespass and sin. Ephesians 2:1-3 BUT… Ephesians 2:4-10 And if you are a part of that BUT… You are still surely dead! You are dead TO your trespass and sin BUT ALIVE to God through Christ Jesus. Romans 6:5-11

This episode of Ancient Roots of Life & Wellness goes straight at some of the most quoted—and most misunderstood—passages in Scripture.JT and Josh examine what happens when verses like Philippians 4:13, Jeremiah 29:11, “judge not,” and Christ's warning that “one will be taken and the other left” are put back into their surrounding context.Was Paul really promising that Christians can accomplish anything they set their minds to? Does “judge not” mean believers can never identify sin? And perhaps most provocatively: when Jesus says one person is “taken” and another is “left,” are we sure we actually want to be the one taken?The conversation also explores Ecclesiastes, the meaning of “new heavens and a new earth,” biblical cosmology, Genesis, light and darkness, the harvest imagery of Revelation, and the popular Left Behind interpretation of prophecy.Then JT and Josh continue their study through the Gospel of Nicodemus, examining its account of Joseph of Arimathea and asking how this ancient text fits alongside the larger gospel narrative.Sometimes a familiar Bible verse changes completely when you simply keep reading.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/jt-s-mix-tape--6579902/support.Please support our sponsor Modern Roots Life: https://modernrootslife.com/?bg_ref=rVWsBoOfcFPatreon: https://patreon.com/JT_Follows_JC?utm_medium=unknown&utm_source=join_link&utm_campaign=creatorshare_creator&utm_content=copyLinkJESUS SAID THERE WOULD BE HATERS: https://jtfollowsjc.com/product-category/mens-shirts/JT's Hats: https://jtfollowsjc.com/product-category/hats/Coaching Program: https://www.echoesoftruthnetwork.com/joinTelegram Group: https://t.me/jtsmixtapeNew Trucker Hat: https://www.shopmmca.com/shop/p/jt-follows-jc-hat

What happens to our faith when hope seems to collapse? Dr. John examines the surprising courage of Joseph of Arimathea, a secret believer who finally steps into the open to claim Jesus's body, alongside the quiet, unwavering faithfulness of the women who never left his side — a reminder that God's sustaining grace meets us in our darkest hours.The End of the Beginning: Everyone knows how this story ends — Jesus is crucified, buried, and rises again. But in this 15-part series through Luke 23-24, Dr. John Neufeld shows why these familiar chapters still reward careful study, tracing the trials before Pilate and Herod and the road to the cross. Along the way, he uncovers details unique to Luke's account that reveal what kind of King Jesus truly is.

John 19:28-20:18We read John 19:28 through John 20:18 in Greek-aware detail, tracing how John ties the crucifixion to fulfilled Scripture and to concrete, often misunderstood realities of Roman execution. We also weigh how narrative structure shapes faith, as the empty tomb and Mary Magdalene's grief lead to recognition that arrives through being personally called by name. • Sour wine and Psalm 69:21 as a fulfillment signal • Historical realities of crucifixion, including shame and physiology • Greek “hand” as upper limb and what that implies about nails • The range of meaning in telestai as finish, complete, fulfill, pay • Unbroken bones, the spear, and the blood and water detail • “Spirit” as breath and as spiritual language in translation • Joseph of Arimathea and Nicodemus, burial customs, and costly spices • The beloved disciple, eyewitness testimony, and authorship questions • The empty tomb's linen cloths and what “believed” might mean • Mary Magdalene's encounter, “do not hold on to me,” and inward recognition The quote in our introduction was paraphrased from the Works of Isaac Pennington, Volume II.   The original quote can be found on page 105 of the 1863 version.A complete list of our podcasts,  organized into topics, is available on our website.We will be publishing video interviews with Conservative Friends on YouTube.  See our YouTube channel.  The first interview is with Susan Smith. To learn more about Ohio Yearly Meeting (Conservative) of the Religious Society of Friends (Quakers), please visit  ohioyearlymeeting.org.

What are people actually encountering when they use psychedelics like DMT and ayahuasca?In Episode 50 of Ancient Roots of Life & Wellness, JT and Josh dive into the strange connection between psychedelics, spiritual entities, ancient witchcraft, fallen angels, and the biblical supernatural worldview.We also explore the mysterious Loretto staircase and the possibility of supernatural involvement in ancient construction before continuing our study through the Gospel of Nicodemus, also known as the Acts of Pilate.The text expands upon the trial of Jesus, the testimony of those He healed, Pilate's confrontation with the Jewish leaders, Barabbas, Nicodemus, Joseph of Arimathea, and events surrounding the crucifixion.Are some of the things modern culture calls “aliens,” hallucinations, or altered states actually spiritual phenomena?And how much of the supernatural worldview of the ancient world have we simply forgotten?Join us as we dig into the Ancient Roots.#AncientRoots #GospelOfNicodemus #DMT #FallenAngels #Bible #Ayahuasca #ActsOfPilate #SpiritualWarfare00:00 — Proverbs, Vampires & “Wicked Offspring”05:00 — Is Batman a Spirit of Fear?10:30 — Batman, Joker & the Gods of Fear18:00 — Fight Club, Demonic Possession & False Reality23:00 — Aliens, Ayahuasca & Spiritual Entities31:30 — Graham Hancock & the “Vine of the Dead”38:00 — Psychedelics, Witchcraft & Pharmakeia46:00 — The Mysterious Staircase Built by an Angel?52:00 — Supernatural Ancient Architecture56:45 — Gospel of Nicodemus / Acts of Pilate1:12:00 — A Forgotten Sign of the Messiah?1:14:00 — Pilate, Barabbas & the Trial of Jesus1:28:50 — Nicodemus & Joseph of ArimatheaBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/jt-s-mix-tape--6579902/support.Please support our sponsor Modern Roots Life: https://modernrootslife.com/?bg_ref=rVWsBoOfcFPatreon: https://patreon.com/JT_Follows_JC?utm_medium=unknown&utm_source=join_link&utm_campaign=creatorshare_creator&utm_content=copyLinkJESUS SAID THERE WOULD BE HATERS: https://jtfollowsjc.com/product-category/mens-shirts/JT's Hats: https://jtfollowsjc.com/product-category/hats/Coaching Program: https://www.echoesoftruthnetwork.com/joinTelegram Group: https://t.me/jtsmixtapeNew Trucker Hat: https://www.shopmmca.com/shop/p/jt-follows-jc-hat

Two secret followers of Jesus — afraid their whole lives — finally stepped into the light at the foot of the Cross. Joseph of Arimathea and Nicodemus were powerful members of the Jewish council who believed in Jesus but kept it hidden out of fear. After Jesus died, something changed: Joseph boldly asked Pontius Pilate for Jesus's body, and together the two men wrapped Him in linen and spices and laid Him in Joseph's own tomb — the first public, costly act of faith either man had ever made. "Something broke open inside them." ⭐Want to keep living Joseph and Nicodemus's story after the episode ends?  Grab our free Every Day's a Feast Day calendar and get every saint and every challenge delivered, so your family can follow along together: https://shop.catholicsprouts.com/pages/every-days-a-feast-day-follow-along  

Friends of the Rosary,In the Gospel today (Luke 4:16-30), Jesus, while facing resistance from his own townspeople, announces His mission: good news to the poor, freedom to captives, sight to the blind, and liberty for the oppressed.We are invited to receive Jesus as He truly comes, not only as we expect Him to come. God's word may challenge familiar ideas, but it also brings freedom, healing, and truth.Meanwhile, Saint Paul, in the first reading (1 Corinthians 2:1-5) reminds us that faith does not rest on clever words or human wisdom, but on the power of God. The Psalm teaches love for God's commands, not as a burden, but as wisdom and guidance.As a prayer for today, we ask Lord Jesus to open our hearts to His word. Help us trust not in human wisdom, but in His power. Give us humility to receive Him, courage to follow Him, and love for His commands.Also today, the Roman Martyrology commemorates Saints Joseph of Arimathea and Nicodemus, who showed courage and devotion to Christ after His death.Joseph, a "noble counselor" and disciple of the Lord, awaiting the kingdom of God, went to Pilate to ask for Jesus' body. Nicodemus, who once came to Christ secretly, now came openly, bringing myrrh and aloes. He was a Pharisee and a member of the Sanhedrin, which was the ruling body of the Jews. He came to Jesus at night asking questions about his mission. In the presence of the Sanhedrin, who wanted to seize Jesus, Nicodemus defended his cause. They are mentioned in the Gospels.They received the dead body of Jesus, deposited from the cross, wrapped it in linen, and placed it in a tomb owned by Joseph. Together, they offered Christ a dignified burial, acting out of love when others had withdrawn in fear. Their actions, though simple in appearance, were precious before God and became part of the path to the Resurrection.Their example teaches that love for Christ must move us to act with courage and faith, even when it is difficult or uncertain. Like them, we are called to bring what we have to Christ and serve Him with humility, trusting that He receives every offering and fills it with His grace.Ave Maria!Come, Holy Spirit, come!To Jesus through Mary!Here I am, Lord; I come to do your will.Please give us the grace to respond with joy!+ Mikel Amigot w/ María Blanca | RosaryNetwork.com, New YorkEnhance your faith with the new Holy Rosary University app:Apple iOS | New!

Full Text of Readings Monday of the Twenty-second Week in Ordinary Time Lectionary: 431 The Saint of the day is Saints Joseph of Arimathea and Nicodemus Saints Joseph of Arimathea's and Nicodemus' Story The actions of these two influential Jewish leaders give insight into the charismatic power of Jesus and his teachings—and the risks that could be involved in following him. Joseph was a respected, wealthy civic leader who had become a disciple of Jesus. Following the death of Jesus, Joseph obtained Jesus' body from Pilate, wrapped it in fine linen and buried it. For these reasons, Joseph is considered the patron saint of funeral directors and pallbearers. More important is the courage Joseph showed in asking Pilate for Jesus' body. Jesus was a condemned criminal who had been publicly executed. According to some legends, Joseph was punished and imprisoned for such a bold act. Nicodemus was a Pharisee and, like Joseph, an important first-century Jew. We know from John's Gospel that Nicodemus went to Jesus at night—secretly—to better understand his teachings about the kingdom. Later, he spoke up for Jesus at the time of his arrest and assisted in Jesus' burial. We know little else about Nicodemus. Reflection Celebrating these two contemporaries of Jesus who played significant roles in Jesus' life, reminds us of the humanity of Jesus and how he related to his fellow men and women. His gentleness to these two and his acceptance of their help remind us that he treats us in the same gentle way.Saint of the Day, Copyright Franciscan Media

AUG 30 | Who Is This King? | Mark 15:40-16:8 ...Some women were watching from a distance. Among them were Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James the younger and of Joseph, and Salome. In Galilee these women had followed him and cared for his needs. Many other women who had come up with him to Jerusalem were also there.It was Preparation Day (that is, the day before the Sabbath). So as evening approached, Joseph of Arimathea, a prominent member of the Council, who was himself waiting for the kingdom of God, went boldly to Pilate and asked for Jesus' body. Pilate was surprised to hear that he was already dead. Summoning the centurion, he asked him if Jesus had already died. When he learned from the centurion that it was so, he gave the body to Joseph. So Joseph bought some linen cloth, took down the body, wrapped it in the linen, and placed it in a tomb cut out of rock. Then he rolled a stone against the entrance of the tomb. Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joseph saw where he was laid. When the Sabbath was over, Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James, and Salome bought spices so that they might go to anoint Jesus' body. Very early on the first day of the week, just after sunrise, they were on their way to the tomb and they asked each other, “Who will roll the stone away from the entrance of the tomb?”But when they looked up, they saw that the stone, which was very large, had been rolled away. As they entered the tomb, they saw a young man dressed in a white robe sitting on the right side, and they were alarmed.“Don't be alarmed,” he said. “You are looking for Jesus the Nazarene, who was crucified. He has risen! He is not here. See the place where they laid him. But go, tell his disciples and Peter, ‘He is going ahead of you into Galilee. There you will see him, just as he told you.'”Trembling and bewildered, the women went out and fled from the tomb. They said nothing to anyone, because they were afraid.

Very early on the first day of the week, just after sunrise, they were on their way to the tomb and they asked each other, “Who will roll the stone away from the entrance of the tomb?”But when they looked up, they saw that the stone, which was very large, had been rolled away. As they entered the tomb, they saw a young man dressed in a white robe sitting on the right side, and they were alarmed.“Don't be alarmed,” he said. “You are looking for Jesus the Nazarene, who was crucified. He has risen! He is not here. See the place where they laid him. But go, tell his disciples and Peter, ‘He is going ahead of you into Galilee. There you will see him, just as he told you.'”Trembling and bewildered, the women went out and fled from the tomb. They said nothing to anyone, because they were afraid.

AUG 30 | Who Is This King? | Mark 15:40-16:8 ...Some women were watching from a distance. Among them were Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James the younger and of Joseph, and Salome. In Galilee these women had followed him and cared for his needs. Many other women who had come up with him to Jerusalem were also there.It was Preparation Day (that is, the day before the Sabbath). So as evening approached, Joseph of Arimathea, a prominent member of the Council, who was himself waiting for the kingdom of God, went boldly to Pilate and asked for Jesus' body. Pilate was surprised to hear that he was already dead. Summoning the centurion, he asked him if Jesus had already died. When he learned from the centurion that it was so, he gave the body to Joseph. So Joseph bought some linen cloth, took down the body, wrapped it in the linen, and placed it in a tomb cut out of rock. Then he rolled a stone against the entrance of the tomb. Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joseph saw where he was laid. When the Sabbath was over, Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James, and Salome bought spices so that they might go to anoint Jesus' body. Very early on the first day of the week, just after sunrise, they were on their way to the tomb and they asked each other, “Who will roll the stone away from the entrance of the tomb?”But when they looked up, they saw that the stone, which was very large, had been rolled away.

There you will see him, just as he told you.'”Trembling and bewildered, the women went out and fled from the tomb. They said nothing to anyone, because they were afraid.

July 22, 2026 - Wednesday Bible Class In this episode of the New Testament Characters summer series, the class studies Pontius Pilate — the Roman governor who presided over Jesus' trial — and compares how Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Acts, and 1 Timothy portray him. The lesson opens by placing Pilate in the series context and then reads Matthew 27 aloud before examining passages unique to the other Gospels. The instructor and the class trace the trial scene: Pilate's repeated declarations that he finds no fault in Jesus; the crowd's demand for Barabbas and crucifixion; Pilate's wife's warning from a dream; Pilate's symbolic hand‑washing; the soldiers' mocking and the role of Joseph of Arimathea in securing Jesus' body; and the chief priests' request to guard the tomb. Selected passages from Mark 15, Luke 23, John 18–19, Acts, and 1 Timothy 6:13–16 are compared to highlight differences and emphases across accounts. Key points emphasized: Pilate repeatedly recognizes Jesus' innocence but yields to political pressure and public opinion; his question “What is truth?” and his failure to wait for an answer are highlighted as pivotal moments; Jesus' calm, truthful confession before Pilate is held up as the Christian example. The class also underscores how Pilate's attempt to disclaim responsibility (washing his hands) did not change the fact that he judged Jesus to be crucified. The episode broadens into practical application and group discussion. Participants reflect on how Pilate's fear of losing office and desire to please people mirror modern temptations to choose the easier path over the right one. Real‑world examples raised include responses during the pandemic, public pressure on religious convictions, and moral decisions like issuing marriage licenses that conflict with faith commitments. Paul's reference to the “good confession before Pontius Pilate” in 1 Timothy is used to challenge listeners to remain blameless and faithful when obedience is costly. The contrast between Jesus' steadfastness and Pilate's weakness becomes the episode's moral: knowing the truth is not the same as living by it. Listeners can expect close readings of Gospel texts, historical and theological observations about Pilate's role, candid classroom discussion, and practical calls to courage and faithfulness in the face of social and political pressure.   Duration 38:18

Luke 23: 26-56Jesus is led to Golgotha, crucified between two criminals, and speaks words of forgiveness and promise even in His final hours. Witness His death, the tearing of the temple veil, and His burial in Joseph of Arimathea's tomb.

The sermon examines Mark's sandwich narrative structure to contrast the fearful faithfulness of the women with the courageous faithfulness of Joseph of Arimathea. It argues that genuine discipleship is not defined by the absence of fear but by obedience despite it, highlighting how both groups remained faithful to Jesus during His burial. The preacher challenges believers to identify publicly with Christ even when it costs them reputation or comfort, using Joseph's boldness as a model. Simultaneously, it offers encouragement to those who feel weak or anxious, affirming that trembling does not preclude faithfulness. Ultimately, the message points to Jesus' perfect faithfulness on the cross as the foundation for Christian hope and patience with imperfect followers.

Pastor Mark Hogan taught from Matthew 27:57-66 on the burial of Jesus Christ, emphasizing its essential role in the gospel. He explained that Jesus' burial publicly confirmed his death, fulfilled Isaiah 53:9's prophecy of the suffering servant being buried with a rich man (Joseph of Arimathea), and served as a fundamental part of the prophesied "sign of Jonah" (Matthew 12:40), proving Jesus' messianic claims. Theologically, Christ's burial was the lowest point of his humiliation—descending into death's realm—yet it was the bridge to his exaltation, as Psalm 16 promised God would not abandon his Holy One to corruption. Practically, Hogan applied this truth to believers' hope in death: because Christ entered and conquered the grave, Christians do not go to the tomb alone or in defeat. The grave is sanctified as a place of repose until the resurrection, removing its terror. Hogan urged confidence that death will not have the final word, for Christ's victory guarantees future glory, and nothing (not even death) can separate believers from God's love in Christ Jesus.

The sermon examines the theological significance of Jesus' burial, emphasizing its role in confirming His actual death and fulfilling Old Testament prophecies. It highlights the faithful witness of women disciples who supported Jesus' ministry and observed the tomb, contrasting their loyalty with the apostles' absence. The narrative details Joseph of Arimathea's bold intervention to provide a proper burial, thereby validating scriptural predictions regarding the Messiah's grave. This event serves as undeniable proof against theories denying Christ's physical death and assures believers that He fully experienced the consequences of sin. Ultimately, the burial provides comfort by demonstrating that Christ conquered death, removing its terror for those who trust in Him.

In Episode 377 of The Real Jason Duncan Podcast, you've heard it your whole life. Happy wife, happy life. It sounds like love. It sounds like wisdom. It sounds like exactly what a good husband is supposed to do. And for Jim Lange, that's what made it so dangerous. He believed it for decades. And it didn't make his marriage better. It made him a doormat in his own home — and he called it faithfulness. Jim Lange is a number one bestselling author, executive leadership coach, and men's marriage coach who spent more than 30 years in business and leadership. He is the author of The Happy Wife Happy Life Deception: How To Stop Walking On Eggshells & Be The Man You Were Made To Be, Bleedership: Biblical First-Aid for Leaders, and Calming the Storm Within. He leads Kingdom Factor leadership roundtable groups, coaches men trapped in destructive marriages, and leads The Council of Arimathea — a community for Christian business owners who have exited their businesses and are figuring out what comes next. He has been married to Carolyn for years and is a father of five grown children and grandfather of three. Today, Jim sits down with Jason to expose the lie handed to men like a wedding gift. Four words. Happy wife, happy life. And what those four words actually do to a man who believes them — not for a year, but for decades. In this episode, Jason and Jim cover: Where the belief came from for Jim — and how deep he was in it before he started to question it The high school breakup that planted a fear of rejection that followed him into marriage for 30 years Why growing up never hearing his parents argue became a false narrative that conflict equals the end How being raised to perform for love turned him into a chronic people pleaser — and why that's a trap Why happiness is an inside job — and why no husband has the power to make his wife happy no matter how hard he tries The men's group advice that made it worse — just love her more — and why it kept him stuck The fast that finally revealed where it all started — and what God showed him in that moment The year of fireworks that followed when he finally spoke up — and what happened when he brought in a mediator, his pastor, and a counselor Why a 6'8" man couldn't see that what was happening to him was abuse — and what his coach finally helped him see The physical cost of 30 years of walking on eggshells — adrenal fatigue, two years of crashes, and what it took to recover What he'd tell an engaged couple today about this concept — and what he wishes someone had told him 20 years ago Why this lie is especially pervasive in Christian circles — and what Scripture actually says about love, submission, and mutual respect The one thing Jim wants every man still inside this lie to hear before the episode ends You can't control her happiness. You never could. And the cage you built trying to is the most expensive one you'll ever live in.

Pastor Jordan is preaching on Hidden Friends in Hard Times as we continue our Acts of the Apostles series.

In this Bible study, Fr. Matthias Shehad explores the harmony of the Gospels focusing on the Crucifixion aftermath and burial of Jesus Christ. He examines the darkness that covered the land during the crucifixion and its significance, including nature's mourning and the tearing of the temple veil, symbolizing the removal of the barrier between God and humanity. Fr. Matthias discusses messianic prophecies fulfilled at this time, such as Jesus' cry from Psalm 22 and the breaking of no bones, connecting these to Old Testament symbolism. He further explains the significance of the piercing of Christ's side, representing the birth of the Church through the blood and water. The study continues with the burial process, highlighting Joseph of Arimathea's role and the presence of the women followers. Fr. Matthias emphasizes the fulfillment of scripture through these events and their connection to salvation history. #Crucifixion #BurialOfJesus #HarmonyOfTheGospels #MessianicProphecy #BiblicalStudy #FrMatthias #StPaulHouston #Coptic Subscribe to us on YouTube https://youtube.com/stpaulhouston Like us on Facebook https://facebook.com/saintpaulhouston Follow us on SoundCloud https://soundcloud.com/stpaulhouston Follow us on Instagram https://instagram.com/stpaulhouston Visit our website for schedules and to join the mailing list https://stpaulhouston.org

Can the Bible answer the questions that many Christians ask about the Shroud of Turin? In this episode of The Backstory on the Shroud of Turin, Guy Powell is joined by theologian and Christian apologist Tom Dallis for an in-depth discussion of twelve biblical objections that are frequently raised against the Shroud. Rather than dismissing these questions, Tom examines each one through the lens of Scripture, history, and first-century Jewish culture, offering thoughtful explanations that encourage listeners to explore the biblical evidence for themselves.The conversation covers the Gospel accounts of the burial of Jesus Christ, the meaning of the Greek words used to describe His burial cloths, Isaiah's prophecies, Jewish burial customs, Joseph of Arimathea's role, and the relationship between the Day of Atonement and the Resurrection. Tom also explains why understanding the historical and cultural context of Scripture is essential when evaluating claims about the Shroud. One of the episode's most compelling sections explores how the High Priest's linen garments described in the Old Testament may provide a remarkable theological parallel to the burial cloths found in Christ's empty tomb.Whether you are approaching the Shroud of Turin from the perspective of faith, biblical scholarship, or historical curiosity, this episode offers an engaging and balanced examination of some of the most frequently misunderstood passages in Scripture. It also expands on many of the themes found in Guy Powell's book, The Only Witness: A History of the Shroud of Turin, providing listeners with a deeper appreciation of how theology, history, and the Gospel accounts intersect.

This sermon explores the often-overlooked story of Joseph of Arimathea, focusing on his transformation from a secret follower of Jesus to a courageous public disciple after Christ's crucifixion. Drawing from all four Gospels, it highlights Joseph's wealth, position on the Jewish high council, and quiet belief in Jesus despite fear of the religious leaders. The message suggests that Joseph's decision to personally request Jesus' body, bury Him in his own tomb, and openly identify with Christ was an act of repentance and faith rather than mere fulfillment of Jewish burial customs or prophecy. The sermon challenges believers to examine whether they, like Joseph, have hidden their faith out of fear or a desire for comfort, while encouraging them to boldly identify with Christ regardless of the cost. It concludes with a call for Christians to publicly live out their faith and an invitation for those who have not yet trusted in Jesus to commit their lives to Him.

This sermon focuses on the burial of Jesus in Matthew 27:57–61, emphasizing that His burial is not merely a transition between the crucifixion and resurrection but an essential part of the gospel that confirms His death, fulfills prophecy, and prepares the way for His victory over the grave. Through the examples of Joseph of Arimathea, Nicodemus, and the faithful women, the message illustrates three distinct responses to Christ's sacrifice—courage, generosity, and steadfast devotion. Joseph's willingness to publicly identify with Jesus, Nicodemus' lavish care for His body, and the women's faithful presence at the tomb demonstrate that the cross transforms fearful, secret followers into bold disciples. The sermon also highlights the theological significance of Jesus' burial, showing how it fulfilled Old Testament prophecy, honored Christ despite the world's rejection, and foreshadowed the new creation through the imagery of the garden tomb. Moving from biblical exposition to personal application, the message challenges believers to consider how they respond to the crucified King by surrendering the sins, burdens, and identities that Christ has already carried to the cross. Ultimately, the sermon reminds listeners that because Jesus' death, burial, and resurrection have secured complete forgiveness and new life, Christians are called to leave their old lives behind, trust God even in seasons of silence and waiting, and honor Christ with lives marked by faith, obedience, and wholehearted surrender.

Secret disciples- Joseph of Arimathea and Nicodemus had the privilege to care for the body of Jesus after His death. Pilate granted permission to Joseph to take the body for a proper burial. Although their faith was secret, what these men did for Jesus will always be remembered.

Sharon Doran concludes her study of Mark, Chapter 16, reflecting on the torn heavens and temple curtain, the victory of Christ over sin and death, and the hope of the new covenant. She recounts Joseph of Arimathea's burial, the faithful women at the tomb, and the surprising first appearance of the risen Jesus to Mary Magdalene. The episode invites listeners to trust through “tomb time,” recognize the reversal of curses into blessings, and follow Jesus as the way, the truth, and the life.

In this episode, we answer a litter's questions who wrote while in "DEEP" labor asking about the lesser-known Pratt brothers and an audio submission from Filer, Idaho about the legend that Joseph of Arimathea brought the teenage Jesus to Cornwall. Gerrit traces the idea to William of Malmesbury's 12th-century history of Glastonbury and its tangle of Arthurian folklore.   We close with part three of our King Follett sermon series, where Gerrit warns against apologists who lean on the Thomas Bullock account's apparent mistranscription to claim Joseph taught God was God from all eternity, arguing that you can't play historian with one discrepant source against five consistent ones, and that watering down what Joseph actually taught to appease traditional Christian critics is selling your birthright for a mess of pottage that won't even fill you up.   If you are interested in joining us in 2027 in Palmyra and Kirtland, August 1st through August 7th, click on the link below and reserve your spot: https://pci.jotform.com/form/261567888174171   Sign up for our free monthly email: ⁠ ⁠⁠https://standardoftruthpodcast.substack.com⁠⁠   If you have any questions or possible topics of discussion for upcoming podcasts, please email us at: ⁠⁠questions@standardoftruthpodcast.com

Jason Mehmel discusses his personal integration of Stoic practice and philosophy with Gnosticism in this discussion recorded with the Parish of Saint Joseph of Arimathea in Calgary, AB.

Send us a message!We read Luke 23 straight through, sitting with Jesus' trial, crucifixion, and burial instead of saving it for one week a year. We also look at the “side characters” Luke includes and ask what their words and choices reveal about what they really think of Jesus. • why we tend to avoid the crucifixion and why we should not • Pilate's repeated finding of innocence and his eventual compromise • Herod's shallow curiosity and Jesus' silence under accusation • Barabbas released and the crowd's demand for crucifixion • Simon of Cyrene carrying the cross and what it models for discipleship • Jesus' prayer for forgiveness and the criminals' opposite responses • the repentant thief and Jesus' promise of paradise • darkness, the torn curtain, the centurion's confession, and the crowd's regret • Joseph of Arimathea's courage in burial and the women's faithful witness • the question we cannot dodge: what do we think about Jesus right now  At outloudbible.com, you can find free resources to help you study the Bible.

A Greek artisan is commissioned by St. Luke and Joseph of Arimathea to make the Holy Grail, while fending off the the evil Simon Magus and the Emperor Nero. It's a very uneven film, sometimes boring, sometimes visually fascinating, and at least Jack Palance seems to be having fun. These days, it's best known as the movie Paul Newman apologized for making--which is a heck of a thing when it's your debut film. Starring Paul Newman, Jack Palance, Virginia Mayo, Pier Angeli, and Lorne Greene. Written by Lesser Samuels. Directed by Victor Saville.

JOHN 19:31-41 - JESUS'S BURIAL - BRIAN SUMNER - 2025JOHN 19:31-41 "Now it was the day of Preparation, and the next day was to be a special Sabbath. Because the Jewish leaders did not want the bodies left on the crosses during the Sabbath, they asked Pilate to have the legs broken and the bodies taken down. 32 The soldiers therefore came and broke the legs of the first man who had been crucified with Jesus, and then those of the other. 33 But when they came to Jesus and found that he was already dead, they did not break his legs. 34 Instead, one of the soldiers pierced Jesus' side with a spear, bringing a sudden flow of blood and water. 35 The man who saw it has given testimony, and his testimony is true. He knows that he tells the truth, and he testifies so that you also may believe. 36 These things happened so that the scripture would be fulfilled: “Not one of his bones will be broken,” 37 and, as another scripture says, “They will look on the one they have pierced.”The Burial of Jesus38 Later, Joseph of Arimathea asked Pilate for the body of Jesus. Now Joseph was a disciple of Jesus, but secretly because he feared the Jewish leaders. With Pilate's permission, he came and took the body away. 39 He was accompanied by Nicodemus, the man who earlier had visited Jesus at night. Nicodemus brought a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about seventy-five pounds. 40 Taking Jesus' body, the two of them wrapped it, with the spices, in strips of linen. This was in accordance with Jewish burial customs. 41 At the place where Jesus was crucified, there was a garden, and in the garden a new tomb, in which no one had ever been laid."To support this channel and partner with Brian in Ministryhttps://www.briansumner.net/support/For more on Brianhttp://www.briansumner.nethttps://www.instagram.com/BRIANSUMNER/https://www.facebook.com/BRIANSUMNEROFFICIALTo listen to Brians Podcast, click below.https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast...Purchase Brians Marriage book at https://www.amazon.com/Never-Fails-Da...Brian is a full time "Urban Missionary" both locally and internationally with a focus on MISSIONS - MARRIAGES - MINISTRY. Since coming to faith in 2004 doors continued opening locally and internationally to do more and more ministry with a focus on Evangelism, Outreach Missions, Marriage, Counsel, Schools, Festivals, Conferences and the like.  Everything about this ministry is made possible because of people personally partnering through the non profit. God Bless and thank you. †Support the showSUPPORT THE SHOW
