Among the many things that Luke illustrates in his record of Jesus' death, burial, and resurrection, is that all of it was in fulfillment of Scripture, including a number of references to Psalm 22. While sinful men sought to snuff out this king and his message about a coming kingdom, they in fact helped usher in the new kingdom by crucifying the Son of God. Then, on the third day, Jesus rose from the dead as He had prophesied way back in Galilee. The disciples' eyes were opened to many things they had not previously understood, and the kingdom of heaven begins to spread in the hearts and minds of Christ's disciples.Luke 22 - 1:13 . Luke 23 - 12:11 . Luke 24 - 21:25 .  :::Christian Standard Bible translation.All music written and produced by John Burgess Ross.Co-produced by Bobby Brown, Katelyn Pridgen, Eric Williamson & the Christian Standard Biblefacebook.com/commuterbibleinstagram.com/commuter_bibletwitter.com/CommuterPodpatreon.com/commuterbibleadmin@commuterbible.org

In this episode, Julian of Norwich is drawn into the radiant joy of Christ—the joy He takes in His Blessed Mother, and the glory revealed in His glorified Face. In the Eleventh Shewing, Christ lovingly invites Julian to “see her”—to behold the Virgin Mary as He does, with delight and reverence. Through Julian's vision, we glimpse the profound place of Mary in Christ's heart and in the life of every Christian. In the Twelfth Shewing, Julian is lifted to contemplate the joy of Heaven: the Beatific Vision, where the saints behold the Face of Christ and are fully seen, fully known, and fully loved. Drawing from Julian's text, Scripture, the Catechism, and the wisdom of the saints, this episode opens the mystery of divine joy that begins in Christ's Passion and culminates in eternal glory. The post Ep 8 – The Eleventh and Twelfth Shewings – All Shall Be Well w/ Kris McGregor – Discerning Hearts Catholic Podcasts appeared first on Discerning Hearts Catholic Podcasts.

Looking back from our position in history, we have the advantage of considering the kingdom of God through all of the teachings of Jesus and through the lens of Scripture as a whole. During his time of ministry on earth, however, things weren't so clear for His original audience. When the crowds thought about the Son of David, they assumed that he would be a king in the traditional sense. The Jews were excited that this king had finally arrived, and upon entering Jerusalem they erupted with praise & excitement. Little did they know that Christ's kingship would establish eternal authority over the souls of men or that victory would come by way of the cross.Luke 19 - 1:08 . Luke 20 - 9:16 . Luke 21 - 17:00 . Ecclesiastes 9 - 22:48 .  :::Christian Standard Bible translation.All music written and produced by John Burgess Ross.Co-produced by Bobby Brown, Katelyn Pridgen, Eric Williamson & the Christian Standard Biblefacebook.com/commuterbibleinstagram.com/commuter_bibletwitter.com/CommuterPodpatreon.com/commuterbibleadmin@commuterbible.org

In examining the question, "What is Prayer?" We accidentally learn why we pray. Even though no Biblical person asks why we pray? Their lives reveal our anguished need for prayer. We are sinners. Until glory, we struggle with sin. Prayer is the act of faith that assures our soul.We are complex lonely beings, and prayer brings us into the arms of our heavenly Father, who knows us, holds us, and comforts us.Some of my favorite prayers:Hannah, 1 Samuel 1.Fathers calling out for their children, Mark 9, Matthew 9, Luke 7.A roofing job, Mark 2Psalm 39, Psalm 42The woman who touched Jesus' robe, Luke 8.Scriptures referenced:Luke 18:1Proverbs 15:8Psalm 42:12 Corinthians 5:17 & Ezekiel 11:19John 17:3 (of course)Hebrews 11:1&6Matthew 11:28-30Romans 8:14-15Romans 8:26-281 Corinthians 12:11-12Hebrews 4:16, 7:25, 4:12-13 The TARDIS even makes an appearance as we learn:Psalm 62:8 Trust in Him at all times, O people; Pour out your heart before Him; God is a refuge for us.

1 The plans of the heart belong to man, but the answer of the tongue is from Yahweh. 2 All the ways of a man are clean in his own eyes, but Yahweh weighs the motives. 3 Commit your deeds to Yahweh, and your plans shall succeed. 4 Yahweh has made everything for its own end— yes, even the wicked for the day of evil. 5 Everyone who is proud in heart is an abomination to Yahweh; they shall certainly not be unpunished. 6 By mercy and truth iniquity is atoned for. By the fear of Yahweh men depart from evil. 7 When a man's ways please Yahweh, he makes even his enemies to be at peace with him. 8 Better is a little with righteousness, than great revenues with injustice. 9 A man's heart plans his course, but Yahweh directs his steps. 10 Inspired judgments are on the lips of the king. He shall not betray his mouth. 11 Honest balances and scales are Yahweh's; all the weights in the bag are his work. 12 It is an abomination for kings to do wrong, for the throne is established by righteousness. 13 Righteous lips are the delight of kings. They value one who speaks the truth. 14 The king's wrath is a messenger of death, but a wise man will pacify it. 15 In the light of the king's face is life. His favor is like a cloud of the spring rain. 16 How much better it is to get wisdom than gold! Yes, to get understanding is to be chosen rather than silver. 17 The highway of the upright is to depart from evil. He who keeps his way preserves his soul. 18 Pride goes before destruction, and an arrogant spirit before a fall. 19 It is better to be of a lowly spirit with the poor, than to divide the plunder with the proud. 20 He who heeds the Word finds prosperity. Whoever trusts in Yahweh is blessed. 21 The wise in heart shall be called prudent. Pleasantness of the lips promotes instruction. 22 Understanding is a fountain of life to one who has it, but the punishment of fools is their folly. 23 The heart of the wise instructs his mouth, and adds learning to his lips. 24 Pleasant words are a honeycomb, sweet to the soul, and health to the bones. 25 There is a way which seems right to a man, but in the end it leads to death. 26 The appetite of the laboring man labors for him, for his mouth urges him on. 27 A worthless man devises mischief. His speech is like a scorching fire. 28 A perverse man stirs up strife. A whisperer separates close friends. 29 A man of violence entices his neighbor, and leads him in a way that is not good. 30 One who winks his eyes to plot perversities, one who compresses his lips, is bent on evil. 31 Gray hair is a crown of glory. It is attained by a life of righteousness. 32 One who is slow to anger is better than the mighty; one who rules his spirit, than he who takes a city. 33 The lot is cast into the lap, but its every decision is from Yahweh.

We continue our examination of the Sacrament of Penance and Reconciliation. Fr. Mike explores that interior conversion, or conversion of the heart, is a radical reorientation of our whole life.

Why does the Church seem so ineffective (and sometimes corrupt) when it claims to carry the truth? Does this mean the Holy Spirit is no longer at work? And why does Frank recommend so many books on his podcast: Isn't the Bible all we need?

In one of the most dramatic moments in all of Scripture, Elijah stands alone on Mount Carmel against 450 prophets of Baal—and calls down fire from heaven. But this showdown is about more than just a miracle; it's a bold confrontation between truth and deception, faith and fear, the living God and lifeless idols. In this episode, we unpack the powerful story of 1 Kings 18 and explore what it teaches us about spiritual courage, public faith, and the God who answers by fire.  Learn more about your ad choices.

We're not just watching history—we're living in the middle of God's unfolding purposes. In this message, Pastor Allen Jackson calls us to wake up, speak up, and stand with bold faith. As he refers to Scripture from throughout the Bible, Pastor Allen teaches if you reject the Truth and you follow evil, you will face a God of wrath and anger. That's not a threat; it's awareness (Romans 2:8). As the nations rage and Israel takes center stage, we must understand our role as God's people in this unique moment. It's time to embrace responsibility, reject passivity, and align with God's eternal promises. He's moving—let's not miss it.

When Finnish parliamentarian Päivi Maria Räsänen tweeted a verse from Romans back in 2019, she had no idea that it would ignite a firestorm not only in her home country, but around the world. For today's episode of Fearless, I'm bringing you into the room for this year's BGEA European Congress on Evangelism, where I had the chance to talk with Päivi onstage all about her courageous stand for biblical truth in the face of ongoing cultural and legal pressure to take back her words. During our time together, Päivi walks me through how growing up next to a prison in eastern Finland shaped her early understanding of sin, grace, and redemption—and how those convictions would later sustain her through hours of police interrogation and years of public scrutiny. Despite enduring multiple trials—including one currently awaiting a verdict in Finland's Supreme Court—Päivi has refused to recant. She talks about the surreal experience of being questioned by police and prosecutors about Scripture, the pressure to deny her faith, and the global impact of her story. Through it all, Päivi has stood firm, refusing to apologize for God's Word. Päivi's testimony is a call to courage for believers everywhere: to speak truth in love, to resist self-censorship, and to trust that God's purposes are greater than any opposition. I pray this episode would be a wakeup call for believers everywhere, that our freedom to speak biblical truth is under attack, even in the West. Now is the time to hold to our Christ-given convictions and refuse to back down. 

In this episode of the Awesome Marriage Podcast, Dr. Kim sits down with special guest Amie Seiffert, author, speaker, and pastor, for a rich and real conversation about enjoying and engaging with God in every season.

Episode Highlights: Grace is a central theme in ministry and relationships. Find opportunities to laugh together. Seasons of life are temporary and ever-changing.   Quotes from this Episode: This for now is not forever. We are held by grace.  Humor is such a way to bring things back down to earth. I don't want to live offended. We have buzz words that bring each other back to reality. If I feel overwhelmed, I learned this at therapy, I will give a number on a scale of 1-10. It's hard to say you need help, but it's rewarding.   Couple's Conversation Guide: How do you think grace shows up in our marriage—and where could we use more of it? Amie talked about humor being important in marriage—what are some ways we could be more intentional about laughing together? What does open communication look like for us during stressful or busy seasons? Do we need to make changes? Have you ever struggled with self-doubt in your calling or role in our family? How can I better support you in those moments? What season of life are we in right now, and how can we stay grounded in God while walking through it together? How can we better support one another in balancing our individual callings with our family life?   Mentioned in this Episode: Amie loves Instagram. Connect with her HERE.

Why does God do things the way he does? Scripture says his ways are not our ways … well, no doubt. We would always choose the easy way. We would always choose the fastest route. We would certainly choose the straightest path with clear sight of the destination. But God chooses the ghetto route. God […]

Why do self-defense classes exist?
