Podcasts about Awe

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.

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.

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.

  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.  

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 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.

What are the Days of Awe, which lead up to the Feast of Yom Kippur? Beginning at sundown on October 1 Jews all over the world will observe what they call the Holiest day on the Hebrew calendar. Yet this "Holy" day points directly to the One who atoned for the sin of all mankind, Yeshua the Messiah.

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.

A prophetic word for the Head of the Year (5786): a partial solar eclipse on September 21 is a wake-up call — a sign in the sky pointing to repentance, restoration and the coronation of the King. In this message we unpack Genesis 1:26–28, Joel 2, Isaiah 55 and Haggai to show how God calls His people to “consider their ways,” prepare their houses, and return to the original design of prosperity and dominion. We also look ahead to the Atonement (Yom Kippur) season and the Ten Days of Awe — practical steps to realign your life with God's higher way.Sign up for the free “ASCEND Class” at 10 am and 6 pm EST – Monday October 20

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

Yom Teruah, also known as the Day of Blowing Shofars, is the first of the fall holy days of our God and King! It is a day that we celebrate His compassionate rule and reign over our lives! It is a day that begins the Ten Days of Awe which is when we take time to reflect and meditate on His Kingdom. It is a time in which we renew our allegiance and commitment to Him as King of kings and Lord of lords! Join us as we ready ourselves for this sacred time.

Rosh HaShanah begins at sundown on Monday, Sept. 22, 2025 and ends on Wednesday Sept. 24 2025. This begin the Jewish year 5786According to traditional Jewish thinking, this holiday honors the creation of mankind by Elohim. The Mishnah (earlier part of the Talmud) refers to Rosh Hashanah as the “Day of Judgment” (Yom ha-Din) since all of creation owes allegiance to the Creator and is accountable to Him. The name Elohim revealed in Genesis 1:1 speaks of Elohim as the Creator and Judge of the universe. In Jewish tradition on Rosh Hashanah we stand before Yahweh as our personal Creator and Judge. Many Messianic Jews believe that the sound of the Shofar on Rosh Hashanah is a symbol of the 2nd coming of the followers of Yahshua MessiahIn Hebrew, Rosh Hashanah means, literally, "Head of the Year," and as its name indicates, it is the beginning of the Jewish year. The days beginning with Rosh HaShana and ending with Yom Kippur (The Day of Atonement) are known as “The Days of Awe.” This is a very special time of year on the Jewish calendar, a time of introspection and commitment to self-improvement for the coming year. Most of all, this is the season for repentance, prayer, and charity, as illustrated by the quotation above - since we are taught that these three things have the power to influence the outcome of our judgment in a favorable way. We are taught that on Rosh Hashana, Yahweh sits in judgment on all His creations and decides their fate. Everything is decided on this day, for every aspect of the entire creation, each individual and each nation.The Prophets of Israel repeatedly spoke of a future day when Yahweh would directly intervene in the affairs of men. They called that day “The Day of the Lord” [Isa. 13:6-13; Ezek. 13:3-8; Joel 1:15, 2:1; Amos 5:18-20; Zeph. 1:7-2:3; Zech 14:1-21; Mal. 4:5-6]. Two major themes are associated with the Day of the Lord.The first is the deliverance of the righteous.The second is the judgment of the wicked, in connection with His coming.The Son of Yahweh will call His own to Himself and then go to war against His enemies. It is the blowing of a Trumpet, which will signal those 2 events. In Paul's writing of 1 Thess. 4:16, the Lord will descend with the sound of the trumpet to call His own to His presence and in Chapter 5 Paul continues the thought, on the day of the Lord as it commences, during which time His wrath will be poured out against the wicked.In most basic terms, the Feast of Trumpets, the first of the Fall Feasts, which Yahweh gave to Israel, depicts the coming of Yahshua Messiah to take His virgin bride with Him into that eternal life, in that new Heaven and Earth! Perhaps one further thought is appropriate at this point. The Feast Trumpets occurs on the 1st day of the Hebrew 7th month Tisri. It would occur at the new moon. However clouds could obscure the moon and witnesses were required. Watchfulness was critical ingredient of this Feast. The Rabbis later added a second day to this Feast to make sure they did not miss it. This need for watchfulness and preparedness in connection with the Feast of Trumpets is echoed throughout the N.T. in connection with the Lord's coming. Watch, therefore; for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come. [Matt. 24:42]Therefore, let us not sleep, as do others, but let us watch and be sober minded [1 Thess. 5:6]We know in the Parable of the Tares [Matt. 13] the harvest takes place in the fall. The reapers [angels] are sent forth to separate the wheat from the tares [zowan]. We read in Rev. 9:10 [read verses 3-10] about the locust army. [May-Sept.]The primary focus of the Feast of Trumpets is the return of Yahshua Messiah to this earth. The emphasis of this Trumpet Feast is mostly prophetic. Have any questions?

Growing In God Podcast Program Number: GIG #267 Title: A Walk Through the Fall Feasts   Web Description: We are coming to the biblical feasts of the fall season. And rather than seeing these feasts as disconnected events, see them as steps on a journey that begins with your receiving of the Word of God, continues with your atonement in Christ, and leads to your dwelling in His presence. Let these promises come to a completion and manifestation in your life.   Show Notes: It is common to think of the biblical feasts as individual and separate events. But this podcast looks at the feasts of the fall season as a combined experience that is like a path we walk on. One feast leads to another in an unfolding walk with God. The first step on this journey is Yom T'ruah, the Day of Trumpets. Here we remember the time God appeared at Mount Sinai with the blast of a trumpet, which put all Israel into a state of awe.   On the Day of Trumpets, we become aware that God Himself came down to the earth and will again when Christ returns. This awareness leads us into Ten Days of Repentance or the Days of Awe. This state of awe should be real to us. And we should recognize that as we walk with God, what He is doing in us and through us is to bring the nations into this same sense of awe, repentance, and worship of God. This state of repentance is to lead us into Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement, which is about the removal of our sin.   This opens the door to the experience of Sukkot, the Feast of Tabernacles. This is a remembrance of the time in the wilderness when the people lived in the presence of God. And we should reach into this experience. God removes our iniquity so we can live in His presence. Sukkot is celebrated for seven days, with an added eighth day, so that we can absorb all that God has done for us to change our lives. It leads us into His Word, into waiting on the Lord, and into appropriating all God's fullness.   Key Verses:   •       Leviticus 23:23–25. “You shall have a rest, a reminder by blowing of trumpets, a holy convocation.” •       Hebrews 12:18–21. “You have not come to … the blast of a trumpet and the sound of words.” •       Exodus 19:16–20. “The sound of the trumpet grew louder and louder.” •       Psalm 22:23–26. “Stand in awe of Him, all you descendants of Israel.” •       Psalm 22:27–28. “For the kingdom is the LORD's and He rules over the nations.” •       Leviticus 23:26–32. “On exactly the tenth day of this seventh month is the day of atonement.” •       Read Leviticus 16. •       Leviticus 23:33–36. “On the fifteenth of this seventh month is the Feast of Booths.” •       Leviticus 23:37–39. “Celebrate the feast of the LORD for seven days, with a rest on the first day and a rest on the eighth day.” •       John 1:1–13. “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.” •       1 John 2:6. “The one who says he abides in Him ought himself to walk in the same manner as He walked.”   Quotes:   •       “Something is going to happen as we walk through this beautiful landscape of the fall feasts.” •       “We should look for God to meet us in such a dramatic way that it throws us into repentance. It brings us into an awe of God beyond anything we have ever known.” •       “There's something about where we come out of this walk through the fall feasts together that brings us to the reality of Christ in our life. It brings us to embrace Him as the Word made flesh.”   Takeaways:   1.    At the trumpet blast on Mount Sinai, the people heard and saw the Word of God. And so these fall feasts take you on a journey that begins with your introduction into the Word of God. They bring you into an awe of Him. They bring you into atonement. And they bring you into the remembrance of living in His presence and seeing where He is taking you in the Kingdom of God as it manifests on the earth. 2.    Christ walked the earth as the Word made flesh. That Word from the trumpet blast came alive before the eyes of men and women. And that is what is happening today. And it is happening in your heart. 3.    Let us walk through this time of the fall feasts together and let it bring a fulfillment of His Word made alive in our flesh because we are to walk as He walked. And that is to be the Word of God manifested in this earth.

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.

This week our Lead Pastor, Miles Fidell, closes Hebrews 12 by calling us to live as people consumed by the fire of God—persevering with grateful hearts in reverence and AWE.

This morning, we explored the profound and often misunderstood concept of the “fear of the Lord.” While Scripture repeatedly tells us not to fear in the sense of dread or terror, it also calls us to a different kind of fear—a deep reverence and awe for God's majesty, power, and holiness. This isn't a fear that drives us away, but one that draws us near, bowing in humility before the One who holds oceans in His hand, spans the universe, and breathes out stars. At the same time, this God is the approachable Jesus, our comforter and friend, who walked among us and gave Himself for us. Holding both truths together—God's infinite greatness and His intimate nearness—transforms how we live. Understanding the fear of the Lord changes everything. It leads to radical obedience, as seen in Noah's willingness to build the ark without all the details, simply trusting the One who asked. It frees us from the need to control outcomes, reminding us that our job is obedience and God's job is results. This reverence also helps us accept correction, knowing that when God calls us to change, it's the voice of the all-knowing Creator, not just human opinion. It strengthens our faith in God's promises, because the One making those promises is the same One who created the stars and numbers the hairs on our heads. And it deepens our value for prayer, because we're not just speaking into the air—we're talking to the all-powerful, all-loving God who delights to hear and answer.

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.
