Podcasts about Awe

So much exists simutaneously (everything in fact!) but it all comes down to our own consciousness, perspective & willingness to look beyond just the surface. I think the nature of life (with all the heaviness & darkness) is perfectly set up to help us look beyond the surface & connect to something much deeper - the truth of who we are, the Light we came here to awaken to & the authenticity we came here to shine (as Spirit In Form). Listen & let me know what pops for you. 'Liquid for the Shift' - https://spiritinform.lumivitae.com/ www.karenmaloney.com @karenmaloney_ 

I heard about a great experience illustrating awe in learning that was shared by a group of middle school students and their teacher in Grand Island, New York. They joined me on this podcast sharing their reflections and insights. As you hear their story consider where these elements of Awe appeared: Awe occurs when we experience something much larger than ourselves Awe leads to the need to reframe one's understanding of the world. Awe often brings forth emotions of humility, gratitude, and compassion. Awe is linked to prosocial behavior: people are more likely to help others after experiencing awe.

“This is what awe always does: it's the zoom out. All of a sudden, you can see how tiny and insignificant you are, and you plug into that bigger thing” - Kate DiCamilloWhen was the last time you were so captivated by the beauty of the world around you that it stopped you in your tracks? Kate DiCamillo intentionally has those moments daily. In a world that can feel dark and hopeless, she maintains a sense of awe. It's the force that helps her move through both joy and loss. It's what allows her to keep noticing the miraculous in the ordinary.One of the most beloved voices in children's literature, Kate is a two-time Newbery medal winner and author of more than 25 books—from Because of Winn-Dixie to The Tale of Despereaux to The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane.In this episode, Tender Heart: Kate DiCamillo on Awe and Grief, Kate returns to the show for the first of “The Second Chapter” conversations with previous guests. This time, Kate reflects on awe, grief, and the beauty that connects them. She shares the moments that have gobsmacked her across decades—from childhood discoveries of “protective coloration” to the painting she has revisited at every stage of her life. Kate also opens up about coping with tragedy and how the best way through those moments in life is “the doing of it.” Settle in for an honest, hard, and still uplifting conversation with one of the most cherished voices of a generation.  ***https://www.thereadingculturepod.com/kate-dicamillo-second-chapterThis week's Beanstack Featured librarian is Chelsea Pisani, a rockstar children's librarian at Maple Valley Branch Library in Akron, Ohio.

The Awe of God, part 4

Wonder isn't a luxury—it's a lever for real change. We trace the quiet path from a single sunset or museum hall to the deep shift you feel when you come home from a trip and realize your mind, mood, and body aren't quite the same. Drawing on the science of awe and years of solo travel coaching, we break down how novelty, vastness, and meaning work together to rewire attention, dial down rumination, and open space for gratitude and connection.You'll hear how nature's big canvases—mountain ranges, star-splashed skies, ocean edges—create instant perspective, and why human-made marvels like Machu Picchu and the pyramids spark the same wide-open feeling. We talk about awe in cities and art galleries, in music that lifts the chest, and in small spiritual moments that make time feel deep. Along the way, we translate research into simple practices: a daily awe pause, choosing a “vastness anchor” for each destination, slowing your pace by 20 percent, and keeping a one-line reflection that turns fleeting wonder into lasting change.We also explore what's happening under the skin. Awe is more than emotion; it's whole-body. From brain networks lighting up to the calming shifts in breath and heart rate—and even potential immune benefits—these moments act like micro-reset buttons. Whether you're planning a big trip or staying close to home, you'll leave with a toolkit to find awe on purpose and let it do its quiet, healing work. If this resonated, subscribe, share with a friend who needs a reset, and leave a review telling us the last moment that truly awed you.Support the showhttps://www.cherylbeckesch.com hello@cherylbeckesch.com Instagram @solotraveladventures50Facebook community: Solo Travel for Women Over 50 https://www.facebook.com/groups/860865768609200

In this in-depth conversation, writer and franchise caretaker Andrew E.C. Gaska joins John Siuntres to discuss his work revitalizing three of science fiction's most enduring universes — Planet of the Apes, Buck Rogers, and Space: 1999.Gaska talks about balancing canon, continuity, and creativity as he builds connective tissue between classic stories and modern reimaginings. For Planet of the Apes, he explains how his novels Conspiracy of the Planet of the Apes and Death of the Planet of the Apes expand the original film mythology, deepening the lore around the astronauts, the forbidden zone, and the political world of the apes. Turning to Buck Rogers, Gaska outlines his efforts to restore the franchise to its pulp and serial roots, steering away from camp and back toward the raw, forward-looking adventure of Philip Francis Nowlan's original creation. He also teases his plans for reconnecting Buck's 20th-century origins with a plausible 25th-century future.Finally, Gaska delves into Space: 1999, discussing his work on To Everything That Was and the Aftershock and Awe graphic novel, which translate the cult 1970s series into a coherent expanded universe. He breaks down the philosophical themes of isolation, humanity's place in the cosmos, and the Cold War anxieties baked into the show's DNA — and how he modernized them for today's audience.The conversation highlights Gaska's approach as both a fan and historian, preserving the essence of each franchise while giving it new life.

We explore how embracing uncertainty enables us to move beyond climate anxiety and despair to hope and action, with author and activist Rebecca Solnit.Summary: When you think about climate change, do you feel hope? In this episode of The Science of Happiness, we examine what it means to feel hopeful for the future of our planet. Renowned writer and activist Rebecca Solnit shares why she loves uncertainty, what gives her hope, and how hope empowers her. Later, we hear from climate scientist Patrick Gonzalez about why he believes climate hope is scientifically sound, and how much power we truly have to create meaningful change.How To Do This Practice: Acknowledge the hard stuff: Hope doesn't come from ignoring reality, it begins with honesty. Naming the fears, grief, or overwhelm we feel about climate change and life's challenges. Remember uncertainty leads to possibility: Despair often assumes the future is fixed. But history is full of surprises and turning points. When we leave space for uncertainty, we leave space for possibility. Focus on progress, not perfection: Every step forward matters. Clean energy expanding, policies shifting, communities protecting what they love. Small and large wins alike fuel the feedback loop between hope and action. Nourish yourself with beauty, awe, and joy: A sunrise, music, dancing, kindness, or the courage of others can all awaken something bigger in us. Awe quiets despair and helps us see new ways forward. Connect with others: Hope grows when it's shared. Joining movements, communities, or simply leaning on friends creates a sense of belonging and power. Together, the ants can move the elephant. Practice hope daily: Some days hope comes easily; other days it doesn't. That's normal. Journaling, noticing progress, limiting bad news, and showing up in community are all ways to keep practicing.

If your days feel like swimming against a current you didn't choose, you're not imagining it. Researcher and communication coach Dr. Craig Mattson joins us to map the hidden “rip tides” of digital life—why tools that promised efficiency now burn our attention, how inboxes became group chats in disguise, and what it actually takes to protect focus without disconnecting from your team or your values.We trace Craig's path from small-town roots and radio work into scholarship on modern work culture, then dig into practical fixes that are humane and realistic. We look at email through Cal Newport's “hyperactive hive mind,” share ritual-level tactics to reduce chaos, and talk about Oliver Burkeman's reminder that constraints aren't flaws—they're the shape of a life. Craig brings a surprising companion to the conversation: the wisdom books of Job and Ecclesiastes. Awe, finitude, and the acceptance that most work won't be immortalized can lighten the pressure to make every task meaningful—and still point us toward daily joy, craft, and integrity.We also explore two slippery topics many teams miss: using AI as scaffolding (not a substitute for voice and judgment) and the power of indirect communication—those signals around the words that matter most for people with less organizational sway. If you've wondered whether to quit a job that feels hollow, we offer a grounded way to test redesign vs. exit, name harm clearly, and move with patience instead of panic. By the end, you'll have a clearer map for navigating overwhelm: fewer threads, cleaner decisions, kinder culture, and a practice of waiting that makes room for better choices.

Join Jason Ford as he takes a deep dive into the spiritual significance and transformative potential of the Ten Days of Awe—the sacred period between Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur. In this thought-provoking episode, Jason unpacks the meaning, history, and personal relevance of these ten introspective days in the Jewish calendar. Whether you're familiar with the tradition or exploring it for the first time, this episode offers fresh insight, reflection, and practical guidance for anyone seeking renewal, forgiveness, and deeper connection during this powerful time of year.

The temple, a place of worship to the Lord, had become a hope for profit instead of a promise of hope. Jesus righteously drives out those who were there for selfish reasons, while taught those who held onto His words. Today, our awe and wonder of God leads us to true and better worship of the One who gave us resurrection life.

The Awe of God, part 3

This is a story of hope, faith, and purpose you'll never forget. Actor Joel Courtney and inspirational speaker John O'Leary connect with nine-time Emmy winner David Sams to share the real-life miracle behind the upcoming film Soul on Fire, a powerful true story of survival and redemption hitting theaters October 10, 2025. At just nine years old, John O'Leary survived a devastating explosion that left him burned over 100 percent of his body and with less than a 1 percent chance to live. Decades later, his journey from unimaginable pain to living with unshakable purpose has inspired millions through his bestselling books, On Fire and In Awe, as well as his Live Inspired Podcast. Now, his story comes to life on the big screen with Joel Courtney (Jesus Revolution, The Kissing Booth, Super 8) taking on the role of John. In this heartfelt conversation, Joel shares how he prepared for such an emotional and challenging role, the incredible cast he worked alongside — including William H. Macy, John Corbett, and Devon Franklin — and the unforgettable moments on set that brought this true story to life. John opens up about seeing his life portrayed on film for the first time, the role faith and family played in his healing, and the message of hope he hopes audiences will carry with them long after the credits roll. Whether you're looking for inspiration, strength to face your own challenges, or a deeper look behind the scenes of one of 2025's most anticipated films, this episode will move you to tears and ignite your own soul on fire.

Part Two of my conversation with Dr. Alia Bojilova as we delve into the intricacies of resilience, offering valuable insights into the psychological and physiological aspects that contribute to personal and collective growth in challenging times. Our discussion covers a range of topics including belonging, curiosity, purpose, and drive as critical components of resilience. Through this engaging dialogue, we explore the dynamic interplay between self-awareness, community, and purpose, providing practical strategies to harness resilience effectively. What You'll Learn: Understanding Resilience: Dr. Bojilova and Dr. Taylor discuss how resilience is fuelled by a sense of belonging and purpose. They highlight the importance of being part of something bigger, with clear positive intent and shared values that sustain and enhance our capacity for life. Belonging and Identity: The conversation explores the profound impact of belonging not just to groups, but also to oneself. They emphasize the magic of defining personal values and purpose, which serve as a foundation for resilience. The Role of Curiosity: Curiosity is spotlighted as a vital component of resilience, offering a pathway to see seemingly insurmountable challenges as opportunities for exploration and growth. Purpose and Drive: Their dialogue underscores the significance of clear purpose as a precursor to drive, with motivation naturally following purposeful action towards meaningful goals. Physiological Resilience: Dr. Taylor stresses the importance of physical recovery and self-care as foundational elements of resilience, cautioning against the misconception of relaxation as genuine recuperation. Key Takeaways: Stay Purpose-Driven: Purpose precedes drive, making it crucial to align your actions and goals with your core values and sense of meaning. Integrate Curiosity: Cultivate curiosity about yourself, others, and the world to keep your mind open and adaptable. Prioritise Recovery: Ensure that rest and rejuvenation are integral parts of your routine to sustain long-term resilience.

David Waldman is out introspecting today, as his Days of Awe end and our days of awful begin. A hidden conservative network bankrolls right-wing news. A dark money group is secretly funding Democratic influencers. Clearly, Mr. Waldman needs to get out more and make some more friends. Whether you were “politically correct”, “woke”, or “pinko”, the Right has always wanted you to shut up. Government has ended; Donald K. Trump burns the crops and salts the earth. Federal workers know who to blame but are told to blame the others. Lisa Cook remains at the Federal Reserve Board as her office window is just too low to throw her out of. E.J. Antoni however, can't run the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, now that people found out what an asshole he is, and since “statistics” have been added to the Trump enemies list.

Concerning the Day of Atonement, Moses said, “Atonement will be made for you on this day to cleanse you, and you will be clean from all your sins before the Lord” (Lev 16:30). For the believer, this is gospel – good news! For the one who rejects this gracious offer, it will be a terrifying day to say the least! As with all the Holydays there is a past initiation with Moses and a past inaugural fulfillment with the first advent of Yeshua to our world nearly 2000 years ago. Paul informs us that there is a future final consummate fulfillment of the Holydays when Yeshua returns to our world the second and final time. Join us we will look at the themes of the Day of the Shofar, the Ten Days of Awe, the Day of Atonement and the Day of Judgement in their final fulfillment when Yeshua returns.

Days of Awe & the Rhythm of the Kingdom: True Readiness, Not Date-Setting – KIB 499 Description In this Kingdom Intelligence Briefing, Dr. Michael and Mary Lou Lake call the Remnant back into the rhythm of the Kingdom during the Days of Awe—away from hype, date-setting, and pagan substitutes. From Matthew 24 to Numbers 10, we explore daily practices that cultivate holiness, discernment, and protection for our homes, and we address the rising chaos around Halloween and other occult seasons. This is a sober call to walk in sync with Jesus, close the doors to Babylon, and live ready. Key themes: Day of Atonement & the believer's judgment, the “wheat and tares” reality, why hyper-grace and universalism miss the mark, how feasts tune us to Heaven's cadence, and practical morning/evening prayers to guard your home.

Sermon Summary – Behind the Veil Part six of a prayer journey series. Focus: moving through each stage of prayer (modeled by tabernacle furniture) to reach the manifest presence of God behind the veil. Tied to the season of the Days of Awe and the Day of Atonement (Yom Kippur). The Prayer Journey Thanksgiving (Entering the Gate) Acknowledge dependence on God. Gratitude for daily blessings builds humility and faith. Praise (The Courts) Praise God for His works in Scripture and in personal life. Strengthens confidence before making requests. Brazen Altar (Repentance) Clearing sin and disobedience—both actions committed and duties left undone. Laver (Speaking the Word) Affirming our position in Christ despite our condition. Candlestick (Holy Spirit Illumination) Welcoming the Spirit to renew the mind and guide prayer. Table of Showbread (Truth-telling with God) “Cup of coffee with God”: being fully honest—joys, anger, questions. Example: hard prayer for a loved one to be broken so they might return to God (like the prodigal son). Altar of Incense (Petition) Prayers rise as incense before God (Psalm 141, Revelation 8). Spirit-led petitions avoid selfish, flesh-driven requests. Behind the Veil (The Ark / Manifest Presence) Goal of prayer: intimacy with God, listening more than speaking. Jesus tore the veil, granting direct access—not just distant recognition but true fellowship. Lessons & Applications Manifest vs. Omnipresence: God is everywhere, but He desires to manifest Himself personally to His children. Prayer as Relationship: not “Walmart style” requests, but time invested with God. Hard Prayers: sometimes God calls us to pray for breaking, not blessing, to bring loved ones to repentance. Stillness & Meditation: modern culture overloads us with information; believers must learn to wait in silence before God. Faith & Persistence: Prayer must be effectual (energized by the Spirit), fervent (refusing to be denied), and prevailing (producing results). Biblical Anchors James 5: The effectual, fervent prayer of a righteous person avails much. Ecclesiastes 5: Draw near to hear rather than offer the “sacrifice of fools.” John 14: Jesus promises to manifest Himself to those who obey His Word. Examples of persistence in prayer: Jacob wrestling, Bartimaeus crying out, the woman with the issue of blood, Zacchaeus climbing the tree. Encouragement & Call Prayer is the greatest access point of power, healing, provision, and presence available on earth. Believers are urged to: Commit more time to prayer. Enter with thanksgiving and praise. Seek not just God's hand but His face. Be patient like Job, consistent like Elijah, and persistent like the saints of old. Final invitation: Unbelievers—come to Christ today. Prodigals—return to the Father. Christians—renew prayer life and spend time behind the veil.

  The teaching completes the study of the seven feasts of the Lord, focusing on the Feast of Tabernacles (Sukkot). Emphasis: these are God's feasts, not merely Israel's—they reveal His plan for the whole world. Christ fulfilled the spring feasts through His life, death, and resurrection; the fall feasts point to His return and final harvest. Feast of Trumpets, Day of Atonement, and Tabernacles Feast of Trumpets: The “alarm” call to repentance, beginning the 10 “Days of Awe.” Day of Atonement (Yom Kippur): High priest entered the Holy of Holies once a year to make atonement for Israel—foreshadowing Christ's ultimate sacrifice. Imagery: veil, bells and pomegranates on priest's robe, blood covering the mercy seat → fulfilled in Jesus' death and resurrection. Feast of Tabernacles: Commemoration of deliverance from Egypt, dwelling in booths, God's provision in the wilderness. Prophetic picture of final harvest and God “tabernacling” with His people in the future kingdom. Prophetic and End-Time Insights Tabernacles points to: Final Harvest: ingathering of nations (Revelation 14, Ezekiel 37). Protection and Provision: God shelters Israel in tribulation. Messiah's Reign: Christ dwelling with His people, fulfilling Ezekiel's promise. The Antichrist will desecrate the rebuilt temple mid-tribulation; Israel's eyes will be opened, leading to great tribulation. God will intervene, bringing judgment (wrath poured out in righteousness). Nations will be judged based on their stance toward Israel; blessing or cursing depends on alignment with God's covenant. Jerusalem in Prophecy Central focus: Jerusalem is the stumbling block for nations. Zechariah 14: God will defend Jerusalem, split the Mount of Olives, and establish His reign. Nations that resist worship during the Millennial Kingdom will face plagues and drought. The Feast of Tabernacles continues into the Millennium as a required festival for all nations. Application & Encouragement Believers must live ready for Christ's return—watching, not waiting for signs like the rebuilding of the temple before repenting. Call to repentance, intercession, and readiness: Repent like Israel's days of awe. Witness faithfully to the lost. Trust God's plan, even for loved ones not yet saved. Reminder: God loves the lost more than we do—Christ intercedes even now. Closing Notes Festivals reveal God's redemptive plan: past (fulfilled in Christ), present (salvation available now), and future (His return and reign). Encouragement: keep faith, pray for the lost, and be filled with hope as the end of the age approaches.

The Days of Awe are upon us. They always hit me with a familiar, bracing urgency: Look at your life. Consider your words, your choices. Where have you failed? Whom have you harmed? What will it take to begin again? If we're honest, most of us spend these days trying to clean up the usual messes: the casual slight, the simmering resentment, the careless word that cut deeper than we knew. We rehearse our regrets, and we whisper our promises to do better. But once in a while, a life comes along that reminds us just how radical, how shattering, how possible teshuvah (repentance) really is. That life belongs to Arno Michaelis. Check out our podcast with him.

Are you ready for your greatest blessing? We continue to celebrate the Fall Feasts of the Lord, as we experience the Days of Awe, followed by Yom Kippur, and Sukkot, the Feast of Tabernacles.

The Awe of God, part 2

Has God ever felt distant, as if something is blocking your connection with Him? Or maybe God feels distant even when you're trying to do all the right things. You're not alone. A truth that we sometimes overlook: What's often missing isn't more effort, but a reverent awe and worship of God.THE BIG IDEA: A shallow view of God produces a shallow life. Awe of God is the key to meeting with God.

What is your attitude towards worship? Do you pour out your heart to the L-rd in those times? Join Rabbi Kevin Solomon of Congregation Beth Hallel as he shares insights about the many ways worship can be strongly impactful to your relationship with the L-rd and how you can receive from Him. G-d is so immense and powerful, but He loves you personally and deeply, so we should pursue Him with worship during these Days of Awe.

In this episode, Guy talked with Michael Sandler and they explored the profound journey of embracing one's mystic nature by overcoming fears and following the pulls of the heart. Michael shared his experiences about the importance of surrender, the lessons learned from his spiritual practices, and the joys and challenges of being an empath. The conversation covered topics like balancing spiritual insights with daily life, maintaining personal boundaries, and practicing gratitude and love. They also discussed the impact of life experiences, such as becoming a parent and navigating professional pivots, on spiritual growth and authenticity. Michael invited listeners to join his School of Mystics for a transformative journey in expanding their consciousness and living authentically. About Michael: Michael Sandler is the co-host of the popular Inspire Nation Show, a transformational, self-help, spiritually focused podcast and YouTube channel, along with his wife, fellow coach, and teacher, Jessica Lee. He is a best-selling author, speaker, entrepreneur, visionary, coach, and the co-creator of Inspire Nation University and the Automatic Writing Experience online course. Having been a world-class athlete and coach, competing at the international level in cycling, along with being a competitive speed skater, Ironman triathlete, and runner, Michael has applied those same training skills to being a life coach to teachers, leaders, and visionaries. He is a life-long meditation practitioner and meditation teacher. Two near-death accidents led to the conception of the Inspire Nation show, the creation of the Automatic Writing Experience, and the writing of this book. These devastating accidents led Michael to a much deeper understanding about the world, of Spirit, and of our connection to something greater than ourselves. He calls this “getting the big picture” and from that this book emerged. Once driven purely by performance and results as an endurance athlete, Michael survived the near-fatal accidents that cracked his heart open and helped him discover a kinder, gentler way of moving through life, one that arguably makes an even greater impact on others and the planet. That's what he calls being an open-hearted warrior, and to his mission to elevate consciousness, shift humanity, and help people truly discover their greatest self. Despite twin titanium femurs and hips, as a result of the accidents, he continues to run, skate, bike, and play in the mountains or explore the world with Jessica, their daughter Hana, three kitty cats, along with Roo Roo the Wonder Rooster, always in prayer, always connected to Spirit.

Rosh Hashanah, “The Head of the Year,” is the fifth of the seven holy observances mentioned in Leviticus 23. This name is never used in the Scriptures to refer to this feast, despite the fact that it is the most common name used today. This name is used because the Rabbis believed it was on this day that the creation took place. Thus, it has become known as the beginning of the Jewish civil calendar year.In the Bible, Rosh Hashanah is called “Yom Teruah,” (“A Day of Blowing”), referring to the blowing of the “shofar” or ram's horn (Numbers 29:1). It is also called “Zicharon Teruah,” (“a memorial of blowing,” or “a remembrance of blowing”) (Leviticus 23:24). Rosh Hashanah occurs on the 1st of Tishrei (the seventh month in the Hebrew calendar), whereas Yom Kippur (the next major festival) is observed on the 10th day of Tishrei. The ten days between Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur are called “Yomim Naraiim” or “Days of Awe.” It is during these ten days that Jewish people are to perform deeds of repentance and restoration in order to be assured that their sins are forgiven on Yom Kippur.Most notably, Rosh Hashanah is known for the blowing of the ram's horn. According to the Rabbis, the sounding of the ram's horn symbolized the final regathering of the Jewish people when Messiah comes, and the dead are resurrected. In Isaiah 27:13 we read:“And in that day a great trumpet (shofar) will sound. Those who were perishing in Assyria and those who were exiled in Egypt will come and worship the Lord on the holy mountain in Jerusalem.”With this, the B'rit Hadashah (“New Testament”) agrees. Matthew 24:31 states,“And He will send His angels with a loud trumpet (shofar) call, and they will gather His elect from the four winds, from one end of the heavens to the other.”In this verse, Yeshua prophesied four things will happen at His second coming: First, angels will be sent out to regather the Jewish people; Second, this event will be accompanied with the blast of the shofar; Third, the focus is the regathering of the “elect” or “chosen,” by which is meant the Jewish people; Fourth, this regathering is from a worldwide dispersion.YouTube: https://youtube.com/live/JBIgpgVg5g4Send us a text

Send us a textEver wondered why predictions about the rapture happening on Rosh Hashanah keep missing the mark? The answer lies in understanding God's prophetic calendar through the Seven Feasts of Israel.These ancient celebrations aren't just historical rituals – they're divine appointments revealing God's redemptive timeline with astonishing precision. Four feasts have already been perfectly fulfilled through Christ's first coming: Passover (His crucifixion), Unleavened Bread (His burial), Firstfruits (His resurrection), and Pentecost (the Holy Spirit's outpouring). The remaining three await fulfillment at His return, but not necessarily in the way many expect.When Jesus said "no one knows the day or hour," He was specifically addressing the rapture – not His physical return at Armageddon. Scripture actually provides clear timeline markers for Christ's second coming in Revelation and Daniel. The Days of Awe between Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur perfectly align with Zechariah's prophecy describing how Israel will recognize "the one they pierced" and mourn in national repentance. Meanwhile, the Feast of Tabernacles beautifully foreshadows the Millennial Kingdom when Christ will dwell among His people.God's prophetic pattern reveals His precise, orderly nature. Rather than fixating on rapture dates, we should remain faithful and productive while we anticipate His return. As the scripture reveals these magnificent connections between ancient feasts and future events, we gain a deeper appreciation for God's masterful plan spanning thousands of years.Ready to explore more biblical insights?

In this special episode of Wondering Jews, Mijal Bitton and Noam Weissman sit down with Prof. Moshe Halbertal to reflect on the High Holidays.

Today in History: God created Adam and Eve on Rosh Hashanah (according to tradition, see Genesis 1:26). The waters of the Great Flood drained and the dove did not return. Noah removed the cover of the ark, but he stayed inside (possible date, see Genesis 8). Abraham bound his son Isaac to offer him on Mount Moriah on this day (according to tradition, see Genesis 22). The daily sacrifice resumed on God's altar, but the Second Temple itself was not yet rebuilt (see Ezra 3:6). Ezra the Scribe read the Torah to the exiles who had returned to Jerusalem (see Nehemiah8:1). It may be the day Messiah was born in Bethlehem of Judah (possible date, see Luke 2). The "Days of Awe" begin, the tendays from Rosh HaShanah to Yom Kippur.This week's portion is called Vajelech (He Went)TORAH PORTION: Genesis 21HAFTARAH: 1 Samuel 1:1–2:10APOSTLES: 1 Thessalonians 4:13–18 9How does the Haftarah connect to this holiday reading?How do the Apostles connect to this holiday?Daily Bread for Kids is a daily Bible reading podcast where we read through the Torah and the Gospels in one year!

On todays show James and the giant preacher talk about Rosh Hashanah, a Jewish holiday marking the start of the new year and emphasizing repentance. It was explained that Rosh Hashanah is the agricultural New Year, celebrated on the first day of the seventh month, and is followed by the 10 Days of Awe leading to Yom Kippur. The conversation highlighted the significance of self-examination and repentance, drawing parallels to Christian practices like New Year's resolutions and the importance of living a righteous life. The speakers also touched on the historical and cultural context of these traditions, emphasizing the need for discipleship and evangelism. The discussion centered on the importance of authenticity in faith, emphasizing that actions should align with preaching. The speakers debated millennial views on Jesus' return, concluding that the kingdom is already present in believers' hearts. They discussed the physical resurrection of Jesus and the nature of the new heavens and new earth. Glenn Cox highlighted the need for self-examination and discipleship, urging regular reflection and righteous living. The conversation concluded with a call for genuine Christian practice and the importance of works done for God's glory, not personal gain. Don't Miss it!

The ten days between the Feast of Trumpets and the Day of Atonement are called the Days of Awe.  Also known as the Days of Repentance.  The fast day of Atonement is considered the most sacred day among many Jews.   Five years ago almost exactly I gave a sermon on the Day of Atonement in Cincinnati, Ohio about our visit to an event in Washington D.C. known as The Return which featured Jonathan Cahn who spoke along with many others about the need for our nation to return to God.  See full video version on YouTube at https://youtu.be/p4mS8qfQOxE  

We have just started the Ten Days of Awe, between Rosh HaShanah and Yom Kippur, and with it there is certainly going to be discussion about the future resurrection of the dead. Messianic Apologetics editor John McKee discusses various expectations in the Tanach (OT) regarding death. This is then followed by a review of important stories and issues from the past day or so, largely witnessed on social media.

As we begin Rosh Hashanah we attempt to look honestly at ourselves—and the story of Jonah is the perfect mirror. Jonah heard God's voice clearly, but chose to run. He's the prophet who wouldn't repent, while everyone else in the story did.What about us? Are we running—from our past, from God's calling, from forgiveness?Part 1 of our Jonah series, The Mirror, reminds us: if you're breathing, you still have time to repent, turn back, and step into all that God is asking you to do.Watch this sermon and begin the Days of Awe with us. Link: https://restoration.subspla.sh/h4hby47#thehappyrabbi #restorationseattle #JewishinSeattle #RoshHashana #YomKippur #Sukkot

My guest is Dr. Christof Koch, PhD, a pioneering researcher on the topic of consciousness, an investigator at the Allen Institute for Brain Science and the chief scientist at the Tiny Blue Dot Foundation. We discuss the neuroscience of consciousness—how it arises in our brain, how it shapes our identity and how we can modify and expand it. Dr. Koch explains how we all experience life through a unique “perception box,” which holds our beliefs, our memories and thus our biases about reality. We discuss how human consciousness is changed by meditation, non-sleep deep rest, psychedelics, dreams and virtual reality. We also discuss neuroplasticity (rewiring the brain), flow states and the ever-changing but also persistent aspect of the “collective consciousness” of humanity.

My guest is Dr. David DeSteno, PhD, a professor of psychology at Northeastern University. We discuss science, God and religion, including what science can and can't reveal about the existence of God and where religious faith and science do and do not align. We also discuss why questions about life's origins, miracles and the afterlife have persisted across time. Dr. DeSteno explains how religious rituals cause meaningful improvements in mental and physical health and how prayer and gratitude can markedly reduce stress, increase honesty and compassion and buffer against loneliness and despair. Finally, we explore what distinguishes religions and mission-based communities from cults, and we discuss the role that communities such as 12-step and Burning Man play in modern life.
