Welcome to The Times of Israel's Daily Briefing, your 20-minute audio update on what's happening in Israel, the Middle East and the Jewish world. Editor David Horovitz joins host Amanda Borschel-Dan for today's episode. Hamas negotiators arrived in Egypt this week for talks aimed at getting moribund ceasefire and hostage release negotiations back on track, with Israel having reportedly sent a team to Doha. Horovitz updates us on the status of negotiations. IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir yesterday approved the general outline for the military’s upcoming major offensive to conquer Gaza City. This comes after a highly charged conflict with Defense Minister Israel Katz earlier this week. Horovitz takes us through this unusual public spat and what we know so far about the plan to take Gaza City. Yesterday, Spain signaled support for French President Emmanuel Macron’s proposal of an international coalition under a United Nations mandate to stabilize Gaza -- including deploying the controversial UNRWA agency -- calling it “one of the tools” that could bring peace to the region. Horovitz briefly comments. Even as much of the western world is pushing for a two-state solution, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu agreed in a rare Hebrew-language interview that he felt a connection to the vision of “Greater Israel.” We learn more about the bizarre interaction during an i24 interview, which has spurred international condemnation. Horovitz sat down with US Ambassador Mike Huckabee this week for an in-depth interview. Horovitz brings highlights, including Huckabee's stalwart support and the Baptist minister's impressions of how Gazans see the US and the IDF. The CEO of the Toronto International Film Festival said overnight that he is working to get "The Road Between Us: The Ultimate Rescue," a documentary about the October 7 massacre, back on the big screen, apologizing after the movie was pulled from the festival schedule, which sparked a large outcry. Horovitz describes the surreal request by the festival's organizers to obtain permission for use of the Hamas October 7 footage. Check out The Times of Israel's ongoing liveblog for more updates.

Protect everything good in your life. There is an attack that comes like a plant being exposed to too much sun. Everything becomes scorched at once. The devil will even try to steal the good memories and feelings from your past. This is warfare. It is like putting your hand on a hot stove. The enemy will try to keep you numb, but keep your joy. Fight for your joy, and the goodness of God will quickly return.

It's Ross' last mailbag feature on the podcast! Tune in as he and Jared tackle listener-submitted questions and topics. On this week's episode, the guys discuss: whether a call to ministry is permanent, when husbands and wives disagree on a church, men serving in children's ministry, neglected doctrines, dealing with complaints in the church, and more.

In this episode of Mere Fidelity, Derek Rishmawy, Alastair Roberts, Brad East, and James Wood engage in a deep conversation about the complexities of inhabiting and leaving religious traditions. They explore the implications of a recent theological shift by Matthew Barrett from Baptist to Anglican, discussing the personal and theological dimensions of such transitions. The conversation delves into the nature of tradition, the challenges of maintaining ecclesial identity, and the virtues of leaving a tradition with grace and gratitude. The hosts emphasize the importance of honoring those who have shaped their faith journeys while navigating the intricacies of theological retrieval and the fragility of denominational identities in contemporary Christianity.   Chapters   00:00 Ecclesial Location 03:09 The Dynamics of Leaving a Tradition 05:31 Retrieval 10:18 Conscious & Unconscious Choice 17:32 The Nature of Tradition and Confessions 22:03 Engaging Outside One's Tradition 24:13 Different Levels of Accountability 27:07 The Fragilization of Denominational Identities 32:30 Tradition or "Vibes"? 35:00 Stronger Ecumenism 42:49 You Keep Using That Word... 49:35 Leaving a Tradition Gracefully

What does it take to start a brand-new church in one of the fastest-growing cities in the U.S.? In this episode, Loren Richmond Jr. talks with Drew Crowson, an Episcopal priest in the Diocese of Dallas planting a church in Celina, Texas—a city where 800 new residents arrive every month and there's never been an Episcopal congregation. Drew shares his journey from growing up Baptist in East Texas, to ministry roles in Germany, the Middle East, and Alabama, to finding a spiritual home in the Anglican tradition. He explains why he believes the parish model is the future of the church, how a preschool can be a vital ministry and funding source, and the discipline it takes to keep showing up—even when no one else does. Whether you're in church leadership, thinking about starting something new, or just curious about what it takes to plant a church in today's cultural climate, this conversation is both honest and inspiring. They discuss: Why liturgy and the Book of Common Prayer resonate with non-liturgical Christians How to plant a church in a mainline denomination with little recent church-planting history Balancing entrepreneurial hustle with slow, patient spiritual formation The importance of pastoral boundaries for family health Building a prayer team and cultivating resilience in ministry   Drew Crowson is a church planter in the Episcopal Diocese of Dallas. Before stepping into church planting, he served in young adult and youth ministry in diverse contexts—from Dallas to Düsseldorf, Germany, an oil compound in the Middle East, and Auburn, Alabama. Deeply shaped by the early 2000s emergent church movement, his journey ultimately led him deeper into Jesus and into the Anglican tradition. Drew is married to an incredible woman, and together they are raising three young children who daily remind them of their ongoing need for grace.   Mentioned Resources:

Dr. Matthew Wiseman was raised with strong Baptist roots, and even as a young child, he was constantly reading and studying the Bible. His family attended progressively smaller churches, and even a house church, determined to live the Scriptures as faithfully as possible. Their ongoing study of the Old Testament story led his family toward the Hebrew Roots Movement, a form of Messianic Christianity. As he grew older, he began to discover that some of these elements of Jewish patrimony had been preserved in traditional Christian liturgies, and this led him to a brief time in the Anglican world. He continued to immerse himself in the study of Scripture at St. Andrew's in Scotland, and it was there that he finally realized that all the threads of his life had been pointing toward the Catholic Church all along.

In seasons of hurting, it is difficult to find comfort and peace. But there is a source that we can draw from. In Psalm 34, we find the future King David running for his life in a cave, surrounded by others who are miserable. Yet, David can still praise God.Psalm 34 SuperscriptionPsalm 34:1-31. WHEN I AM HURTING I WILL PRAISE GOD PASSIONATELY AND PUBLICLY. PSALM 34:4-7Christ with me, Christ before me, Christ behind me, Christ in me, Christ beneath me, Christ above me, Christ on my right, Christ on my left, Christ when I lie down, Christ when I sit down, Christ when I arise… PSALM 34:8-102. WHEN I AM HURTING I will trust God to be my protector and provider. PSALM 34:11-16 3. WHEN I AM HURTING I will pursue peace and I will reject evil.  PSALM 34:17-224.

Life is made up of seasons—some filled with joy, others with sorrow. Ecclesiastes 3 reminds us that every moment, whether it feels like a beginning or an ending, has its place in God's perfect plan.

Jesus plunders Hell to rescue us. He alone can rescue us from sin’s grip, Satan’s power, death’s sting, and God’s judgment. Put all your hope–all of it–in Him.

 Exodus 12:43-51Senior Pastor, Clint PressleySunday August 10, 2025

All our hope is in Jesus. We trust him for salvation, follow him as Lord, and live in union with him. Jesus is the cornerstone, and his chosen apostles laid the foundation of truth on which the household of God is built. Today, from Acts 1, we see what Jesus did to prepare his apostles before he ascended into heaven. We come to faith in Jesus and enter the kingdom of God through their witness of him. Grace Community Church exists to build spiritually healthy people for ministry in the world. One of the ways that we pursue this mission is by gathering each Sunday for corporate worship, prayer, and biblical teaching. The corporate nature of this gathering is both edifying to the believer and a witness of God's grace to the world. Sermon speaker is Scott Patty unless otherwise noted.

What happens when a Baptist, an Episcopalian, an Eastern Orthodox, a Roman Catholic, and a non-denominational Christian discuss the Eucharist? Brad, Brian, Matt, Jonathan, and Paul arrive at a point of convergence which relies upon a depth of history, very much associated with the Eastern tradition.  (Sign up for the class Human Language, Signs of God: using Anthony Bartlett's two books, Theology Beyond Metaphysics and Signs of Change, as one continuous argument.  The course will run from 2025/9/16 to 2025/11/4.

Overwhelmed, But Still Making Good Decisions | Spirit, Power & The Church The disciples had just watched Jesus ascend—and now they were waiting, unsure, and overwhelmed. But they didn't sit still. They stayed in community, prayed together, remembered Jesus' faithfulness, and elevated God's Word. In this message, we walk through six biblical principles that show how to keep moving forward when life feels like too much. God hasn't left you confused—He's equipping you to make faithful decisions even in hard seasons. Key Insights: 1. Staying connected to biblical community can protect you from isolation when life feels overwhelming. 2. Remembering past moments where God met you brings peace and clarity when your next step feels uncertain. 3. Having a consistent meeting place with God helps anchor your heart when the rest of life is chaotic. 4. Praying constantly—especially with others—keeps you aligned with God's presence and priorities. 5. Obedience is often the next right step, not the final answer. God moves as we trust Him in motion.

Pastor Jonah Sage preached from John 14:1-3 in our series, “Heaven.” He said that heaven is the place we most belong.Lector: Emily Dippie

The sermon uses a parable of discovering a treasure in a pond to illustrate the Christian journey, emphasizing the importance of turning away from familiar paths, treasuring spiritual riches, and trusting in God's provision. Drawing from Jeremiah, it highlights the necessity of repentance and the pursuit of holiness, contrasting a life focused on worldly pursuits with a life transformed by faith in Jesus. Ultimately, the message encourages listeners to actively share their faith and demonstrate God's grace to others, recognizing that a life centered on Christ brings lasting value and impacts the world around them.

“I don't know what to do.” “I wish God would give me some direction, or just tell me what He wants.” This passage shows us how He does just that...and how we tend to sabotage the process.

Today, Pastor Al dagel helps us understand that God knows our needs and is actively involved in actually praying for us, interceding on our behalf in a way that we could never do on our own.

Joel Webbon and Dr. Stephen Wolfe discuss the concept of cultural Christianity, particularly within the context of Baptist and Presbyterian perspectives. They explore the dichotomy of views on cultural Christianity, highlighting its potential benefits, such as preparing individuals for faith and fostering a more virtuous society.The conversation also addresses concerns about nominal Christianity and the surprisingly positive role of “hypocrisy” in a society, ultimately advocating for the beneficial influence of Christian culture on laws and customs.The episode concludes with a reflection on the law as a tutor that guides individuals towards faith and virtue.

Our faith journeys can be filled with ups and downs as well as drastic turns and re-turns. Host Robin Linkhart sits down with Jason Smith, a 48-year-old IT professional from Duncan, Oklahoma, who shares his faith journey from Southern Baptist to Community of Christ. Having become fascinated with Mormonism at 15, Jason tells of his engagement in anti-Mormon evangelism out of a love for the people rather than a hatred. Over time, he deconstructed his Baptist faith, and joined Community of Christ, drawn to its inclusive, community-focused values. Jason emphasizes the importance of community, peace, and justice, and encourages listeners to persist in their faith despite challenges.  More Fair Trade episodes. Download the TranscriptThanks for listening to Project Zion Podcast!Follow us on Facebook and Instagram!Intro and Outro music used with permission: “For Everyone Born,” Community of Christ Sings #285.

In this interview with Dr. James Renihan we continue to discuss the doctrine of Christ and specifically the theological structure found in Articles XI of the First London Baptist Confession of Faith. 

Why is it that we have Pastors in the local church is every believer is a priest before God? As we continue our series on Baptist distinctive, we look at the role the pastor is intended to fill in the local church.

They don't make headlines. They don't sell books. They're not killing it on Insta or TikTok. But they're probably way better than we deserve. They're boring pastors. In this episode of the FTC Podcast, Jared and Ross talk about why we're tempted to underestimate pastors we find "less than dynamic" (but why we shouldn't) and try to encourage ordinary pastors in their boring-ness to trust God in the normalcy of everdyay ministry.

Send us a textWhat happens when Reformed Christians enter the wild west of cryptocurrency? This episode brings together Jordan Bush, director of Thank God for Bitcoin, and Chance Summers, creator of the 1689 meme coin, for a fascinating exploration of Christian ethics in digital finance.The conversation quickly moves beyond surface-level arguments to probe deeper questions: Does Bitcoin represent a more ethical form of money than meme coins? Can Christians participate in cryptocurrency without compromising biblical principles? When does risk-taking cross the line from wise stewardship to foolish speculation?Jordan articulates concerns about meme coins, suggesting they operate as "mini Federal Reserves" that can be manipulated by creators. He questions whether Christians should participate in systems that potentially enable some to profit at others' expense. His memorable comment that "Judas would make a meme coin" encapsulates his skepticism about the ethics of creating tokens with no inherent value.Chance offers a compelling counternarrative, describing how 1689 coin evolved from a joke into a community-building project with growing utility. He argues that transparency about risks combined with community safeguards creates an ethical framework for Christian participation. His optimistic vision suggests believers should redeem financial spaces rather than abandon them to non-believers.Whether you're a cryptocurrency enthusiast, a Christian wrestling with financial ethics, or simply curious about how faith intersects with modern finance, this conversation offers valuable insights without easy answers.
