June 16, 2025Today's Reading: Proverbs 8:1-4, 22-31Daily Lectionary: Proverbs 16:1-24; John 16:1-16“‘To you, O men, I call, and my cry is to the children of man.” (Proverbs 8:4)In the Name + of Jesus. Amen. There is an eternal Wisdom, begotten yet in existence before anything was. That's kinda hard to get one's head around. This Wisdom, involved in creation, is called a she by one known for wisdom. Which is kinda hard to get one's head around. I honestly think the weirdest part of it all is that this Wisdom who found such joy in creation actually wants to call out to us who wrecked it with sin. Wisdom calls to us. To untangle the web, we run to the simpler, less weird stuff when Scripture gets too weird. Scripture interprets Scripture. If our interpretation of Scripture from Scripture disagrees with the Nicene Creed, we messed up somewhere and made a heresy instead. That's bad. Let's start with the simplest stuff. God so loved the world that He sent Jesus to die on the cross and rise from the dead to save you from your sins. This Jesus is God of God, light of light, very God of very God. God of God, Light of Light, very God of very God, begotten, not made, being of one substance with the Father, by whom all things were made. The cross was never a plan B. Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever. This all means there is a pre-incarnate Christ. Before Christmas, the second person of the Trinity was still active. His will was always to save sinners. Before the foundation of the world, the Lamb was slain.  All this isn't just to wrinkle your brain at God being more complicated than we can understand. All this is to wrinkle your brain at God being simpler than we can comprehend. He loves you. Nothing you do can change that. He who made you in love knew you would sin, rebel, and hurt not only yourself but the rest of His creation, His children. He still loves you with unchanging and unchangeable love. This love was manifest when He died on the cross to bear your sins to save you. But if all the past can't change His love, it also means the future can't either. Number yourselves among those saved by the Wisdom that calls out to man in love. In the Name + of Jesus. Amen.Creator of the stars of night, Thy people's everlasting Light: O Christ, Redeemer, save us all And hear Thy servants when they call. (LSB 351:1)- Rev. Harrison Goodman, Higher Things Executive Director of Mission and Theology.Audio Reflections Speaker: Pastor Jonathan Lackey is the pastor at Grace Lutheran Church, Vine Grove, KY.In Clarifying the Great Commission, Rev. Daniel Christian Voth identifies common omissions from our collective understanding of Jesus' farewell discourse—omissions that turn Christ's promises of forgiveness, life, and salvation into a legalistic command. Come and discover a richer understanding of The Great Commission.

On this edition of the Detroit Red Wings/Detroit News podcast, Ted Kulfan talks about the team's four-game sweep on the western road trip and Sportsnet draft analyst Jason Bukala is the interview guest. Before Christmas, the odds of the Red Wings making the playoffs were less than one percent under coach Derek Lalonde. After Christmas, under new coaches Todd McLellan and Trent Yawney, Detroit has gone 15-4-1 and the odds, according to moneypuck.com/predictions, are 50-50 of ending the franchise's eight-year playoff drought. "As we sit here doing this podcast, I would be a little surprised at this point if they didn't make the playoffs," Kulfan said. "This has been about as good as they've played in years, quite honestly. The one thing which really stood out during this four-game road trip, you kind of expected them to win during points in these games."

In this week's episode of The Debrief, MT's editorial team discusses new research into large language models' creative capabilities and what consultants believe CEOs should be focusing on this year.The new year is advancing at a frankly scary rate. But if like us you're already drowning in a sea of immediate priorities, our first segment might provide the opportunity to step back and remind yourself of your aims for the coming 12 months. Before Christmas, we asked our community of consultants what CEOs should be prioritising this year - and they heeded our call. We bring you the what, the why and the how. Ever since the birth of ChatGPT, there's been a widespread narrative that gen AI will primarily replace routine and repetitive work tasks. But while this might appeal to those of us with a strong creative component to our job, new research suggests we shouldn't get too comfortable. Academics compared the ‘collective creativity' of individual LLMs (as measured by considering multiple responses to one problem) to that of small groups of humans, with some interesting results. We take you through the findings.Links:https://www.managementtoday.co.uk/consultants-think-ceos-prioritise-year/down-to-business/article/1901214https://www.managementtoday.co.uk/leaders-plan-transform-business-2025/down-to-business/article/1900994https://www.managementtoday.co.uk/research-llms-compete-humans-creative-tasks/indepth/article/1901578Credits:Presenters: Éilis Cronin and Antonia Garrett PeelProducer: Inga MarsdenArtwork: David Robinson Hosted on Acast.

The Ten Commandments (Exodus): Every other religion says it's what you do that saves you. But in the Exodus, Israel learned that Yahweh God was different. He rescues people by grace and then gives them a law to joyfully obey in a relationship with him. This law reflects God's heart for flourishing life, faithfulness, truth, and justice and was a law of love for God and neighbor. Recorded on Jan 5, 2025, on Exodus 20:1-21 by Pastor David Parks. This message is part of our Exodus series called Journey to Freedom. Exodus is a story of liberation — of God working to rescue and redeem a people for himself, freeing them from slavery and leading them to the land he promised to the family of Abraham and Sarah. Exodus is also a picture of the gospel and the Christian life. In Christ, we, too, are freed from captivity to sin and death and led through the wilderness of life by God's Word and Presence as we make our way to the Promised Land of the world to come. Join us as we make this journey to find true and lasting freedom. Sermon Transcript Since September, with a little break for Christmas, we've been working through the book of Exodus in a sermon series called Journey to Freedom. As we've said, Exodus is a story of liberation, of God rescuing and redeeming a people for himself. After freeing the Israelites from slavery in Egypt, Yahweh God led them through the desert wilderness by his word and his own holy Presence as they made their way to the Promised Land of Canaan. The Israelites struggled and grumbled and had so much to learn, but Yahweh proved faithful and good. Before Christmas, we learned that God's great, big beating heart behind this whole Exodus project was to have a real relationship with people — people who were separated from a holy God by their sin — but people who were still greatly loved and precious to God. So at Mount Sinai, Yahweh God invited Israel into a covenant relationship. Out of all the peoples of the world, they would be for him a kingdom of priests and a holy nation. Today, we'll consider one of the most famous passages in the Bible: the Ten Commandments. Now, I preached a whole series on the Ten Commandments two years ago. If you'd like more teaching on this, you can always go back and watch or listen online if you'd like. But since we're going to preach a sermon today and not a series, we have a lot of ground to cover, so let's jump in. If you have your Bible/app, please open it to Exodus 20:1.  One: Exodus 20:1–3 (NIV), “1 And God spoke all these words: 2 “I am the Lord [Yahweh] your God, who brought you out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery. 3 “You shall have no other gods before me.” When Jesus was asked what the greatest commandment was (out of the 600+ commands of the Mosaic Law), he quoted Dt 6, “Love the Lord [Yahweh] your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength.” (Dt 6:5). But he said the second is like it, to “love your neighbor as yourself” (Lev 19:18b). Jesus, and many other rabbis of his day, believed the whole of the Law could be summarized by these two commands: Love God and love people. As we work through the Ten Commandments, you'll notice the first four commands are “vertical.” They're about loving God. The remaining six are “horizontal.” They're about loving people. Here, Yahweh says that the first thing to know about his world and his way is that there is only one God, the Creator, the Maker of the heavens and the earth, and everything in it. There was no pantheon of gods/goddesses like everyone else worshipped at the time. Those were human creations, idols. There is only one, and he will not share his glory with anyone/anything else. What use is it to sacrifice or give your life to something that isn't real and has no power to do anything about your problems or fix this broken world?? In contrast, Yahweh had only ever given faithful, loyal love to Israel. He created them, revealed himself to them, saved them,

Before Christmas, we left off at Acts 15 . We study the importance of the Jerusalem council. At the end of chapter 15 we read that Paul and Barnabas had a disagreement and decided to part ways. Today I want to look at the first part of Acts 16 . Have you ever been on a trip, only to have your plans completely…

Iceland has a stunning landscape with glaciers galore … but is more properly fire island. Lava, earthquakes eruptions and volcanoes dominate life and world headlines. Before Christmas 2023, an eruption forced people from their homes in the fishing port of Grindavik. One year and six eruptions later – the townspeople are back. But another eruption nearby is spewing lava across the car park of the famous Blue Lagoon. By the time you hear this podcast, that eruption could be over… or much worse.Yet despite all the risk and uncertainty, many Icelanders say they live here because of their volcanoes not despite them. Why? That's what this podcast is all about.

 ABC-TV's "The View", Today, Oprah ~Happy Holiday's!! We Are Entering into a Season of Reflection, Giving, EATING!!It's just after Thanksgiving and BEFORE Christmas & Hanukkah BUT, there are at least 3 MORE Holiday's, Parade's, Sports Events PLUS to Celebrate over the next 8 weeks.

Start with the gut. Though most of us rarely think about that organ, unless we're among the 90 million people who have gastrointestinal problems each year, the gut is the source of many seemingly unrelated physical and mental disorders that afflict millions of Americans—such as kidney stones, asthma, a ruptured abdominal aorta, and even cancer or a heart attack. Most people assume everything's fine until something hurts. But by then the trouble has been brewing a long time. To be really health savvy, we need to understand the role the gut plays in health, which goes far beyond digestion, and begin taking care of it. A graduate of Columbia University and New York University School of Medicine.Dr. Lamm is the recipient of numerous honors, including American Bariatric Society Recognition Award, Alpha Omega Alpha Award, New York Founders Day Award.

In Episode 532 we reviewed the disappearance of 19-month old-Ayla Reyolds. A Mainer and spectator of the live show reached out to say 'the police failed,' and brought to light several 'facts' in the case we couldn't ignore. As it turns out, it's more complicated than just blaming the easiest target-- the police.  At 48:44-- The Klaus Family Killings. Before Christmas 2013, a farmhouse in rural Canada burned to the ground with the bodies of three family members inside. Outside, the surviving member of the Klaus family, who had lost everything, but had everything to gain in their deaths. Jason Klaus conspired with Joshua Frank to kill his family-- but why? The story of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police investigating this murder is a story for the ages: the tactics they used aren't even legal in the United States. Breaking it down are former cop Kendra and current 911 dispatcher Jon. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

FAMILY BIBLE STUDY SERIES ON THE GOSPEL OF MATTHEW Dads, this one's for you! This is the last episode of our family bible study series on the book of Matthew. Before Christmas, we aired episode 468, Discipleship for Catholic Youth. Today's episode is geared towards parents, especially fathers, of younger children.

Before Christmas, my wife (Jean) and I were invited to a client's celebration dinner, which was hosted to mark a significant company milestone. No expense was spared, and a wonderful night was had by all. Why am I telling you this? Because of something my client (the MD), whom I have known for some ten years, said when introducing me to her family. "This is Andrew; he's been very helpful to me personally and the team in general, but I never know how to describe what he does." The conversation moved on, and so did this most enjoyable evening. Over the following days, and in particular over the holiday break, this comment played on my mind. Why could this person not articulate what I do? Then it struck me that in the beginning, when I founded Aristo, I struggled to explain what I did before really realising it's not what I do that I should talk about. You and I should always talk about the results of what we do. In my case, I give people increased confidence. Whether it's: To take on a new role which will stretch you. Tell an audience how you believe things should be done differently. Become an entrepreneur and start your own business. Help people to buy your product or service. Pitch for investment to a bank or investment house. In my role as a coach, this is how I help people. I capture your business story and give you the confidence to tell or sell it. Why do you need to top up your confidence levels? If you tell yourself you have all the confidence you need, it's more likely to be bravado than confidence. My clients range from successful CEOs to entrepreneurs taking their first tentative steps to people who wish to add value to society but do not have the confidence to step up. Here are the three questions I ask every new client to give some thought to before we work together. Who do you want to hear your story? (audience) What problem do you solve for this person or persons? How will your audience be better? Helping people identify and realise the skills they have that will solve their audience's problems while giving them the confidence to articulate their knowledge in a non-boastful way is what I do. I coach you to paint word pictures of how your intervention solves the audience's problem. Epilogue: Talk honestly and openly to yourself and admit that there are areas where you could do with a little more confidence.

Cortney Weatherby is our guest on the Outdoor Adventure Series today.Cortney is the Coastal Outreach Manager for Alabama Audubon. She is an environmental educator and conservationist. She loves spending time outdoors in various capacities: birding, fly fishing, kayaking, snorkeling, or diving when the opportunity arises.Questions We DiscussedWhat threats do beach-nesting birds face?How can people help these birds when they visit the beach?Why would you recommend people get into birding?Aha Moment(s)Two stories ---- Cortney led a bird walk for about 20 people, and during the walk, they saw birds that most birders would consider common, but many of these people might have seen some of those birds before but not necessarily known what they were. It was a fun and engaged group, and they had some birds cooperate and stay in view long enough to point out identifying features.Before Christmas, Cortney gave a program about beach-nesting birds to a group of third and fifth-graders at a local school. At the conclusion, when she was answering questions, one of them asked me what college degree they would need to work for Alabama Audubon, and another asked that even though they are young if there was a way for them to help the birds nest on the beach.InSight2GoIf you head to a beach or island that has active bird nesting on the beach, remember two sayings: Fish, swim, and play from 50 yards away. Giving these birds space makes a huge difference. If the birds are squawking, keep on walking! A lot of people ask us how close to the birds is too close...If the birds start shuffling around and making noise at you, you know you are too close!MEDIAhttps://www.outdooralabama.com/articles/alabama-conservation-birds.LEARN MOREThank you to the Alabama Audubon funders, the Alabama DCNR, the AL Trustee Implementation Group (TIG), the National Audubon Society, and the USFWS, who allow the Alabama Audubon to keep doing this important work on the Alabama coast.

This past set of Sunday services were remarkable on the topic Everlasting #Father from Isaiah 9:6. The Lord led me in a different direction and His healing and power of wholeness entered the sanctuary in a very profound way. So many were healed of broken hearts, unforgiveness and the wounds from a father. Do not remain hidden or pretend like you're "ok". Allow the power of the Holy Spirit to work freely in your heart today. Jesus wants to heal you. Be free, Rise up, Be healed. May your soul prosper - the evidence of a soul prospering is forgiveness. Listen to this sermon and release forgiveness Before Christmas. #EquippingForLife #prosperity #pruningtoproduce

Whereas the period BEFORE Christmas has historically been about contemplation and self-reflection, the period starting AT Christmas and going for 12 days thereafter is all about feasting, revelry, merriment! In today's episode, I argue that feasting and festivities are a lot more meaningful when they follow a period of deprivation. I also share my Tudor-style menu for the 12 days of Christmas and encourage you to check out the new recipe bundle of recipes inspired by the song, The 12 Days of Christmas. Enjoy!

A wise man once said that he feels smarter every time he sits down with Miguel. We believe that you will feel the same after this episode. In this episode, we discuss Miguel's early life including never being told "no" by his mother, and how that played a part in his growth & confidence. We discuss his corporate experience and the effect that had on his mentality in business today, including his approach to being an "intrepreneur" & an entrepreneur. Either take notes or listen multiple times to this one-of-a-kind conversation, a masterclass, with the one & only Miguel deJesus.

Happy New Year! Before Christmas, Daniel got the chance to sit down with Wendy Wright (President of Christian Freedom International) and discuss Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization (the Supreme Court case currently challenging Roe v. Wade). There has been a lot of buzz and plenty of fear-mongering about this case, so we wanted to dive into the details and talk about what's actually happening. Wendy also shared insightful analysis regarding the significance of this moment for the pro-life movement and the importance of multifaceted strategies to achieving the goal of protecting babies from the violence of abortion. Listen to this episode and share it with anyone who could use some clarity about this case and the Supreme Court process. Other topics include: Wendy's pro-life history (and how she ended up in jail!), how Christian Freedom International helps persecuted Christians around the world, and the work facing pro-life Christians in a post-Roe v. Wade world.  Wendy Wright is the president of Christian Freedom International and an influential pro-life activist whose faithful advocacy on behalf of the unborn has put her in media headlines, in front of world leaders, and, more than once... in jail.We are grateful for Wendy's willingness to sit down for this interview in the middle of her busy December, and we hope you find it helpful and encouraging!If you do, go ahead and leave us a review and a 5 star rating!

As Western culture becomes more and more secular, or to use Charles Taylor's fascinating word “disenchanted,” traditions and practices once largely normal seem more and more strange. Large families, choosing church over Little League, or smudged foreheads just aren't as normal as they used to be, and the second glances or raised eyebrows they create reveal more than a confusion about the thing itself. In fact, I'm not sure there is a Christian observance that more directly collides with the widely accepted values of secularism than the “imposition of the ashes,” a tradition that goes back about ten centuries and marks the beginning of the season of Lent on the Church calendar. Like Advent, the season of Lent is about preparation. Before Christmas, our Christian forbears thought it wise to prepare a bit, and that by diving deeply into Old Testament promises and prophecies we'd better understand the birth of Christ in the full context of redemptive history. So too, in Lent, our Christian forbears thought it wise to prepare for Holy week, especially for celebrating the resurrection on Easter Sunday. A key distinction is that Lenten disciplines, beginning with Ash Wednesday's reminder that “You are dust and to dust you shall return,” place our celebration of resurrection in the context of our humanity, both our mortality and our fallenness. Even if the church calendar and its accompanying disciplines is not part of your church tradition, these two aspects of our humanity deserve our focused, intentional, and extended reflection. Of course, most Christians would quickly reply that, of course, sin and death affect us all post-Eden. The problem is, in a secular culture, these beliefs that are crucial to a Christian worldview can be subtly secularized in our own hearts and minds. Years ago, when my grandfather was dying, he suffered terribly for three or four months. In sorrow, I asked my pastor, “Why doesn't God just take him?” I expected him to say something along the lines of, “Well, God has His ways, and His own timing,” but instead he said something I'll never forget: “Because you grandfather needs to know his mortality before he meets his maker.” What Ponce de Leon once sought in the waters of a Fountain of Youth, we still seek today via genetic engineering, eugenics, and other technologies. In other words, we seek control over this world and even over death itself. Despite our search, death remains the universal problem of the human condition, one that afflicts us all. A secular culture is led by the reality of death to fear death itself, so that we either attempt to control death or distract ourselves from the thought of it. As a result, we learn to live life in light of the moment, rather than eternity. The reality of death should, instead, remind us to fear God. That after death, we will meet the maker of life, is worth pondering, not just at the moment of death, but constantly throughout our lives. Theologian Craig Gay warned in his book "The Way of the Modern World" that many of us who believe in God live as if God were largely irrelevant to most of life. The reminder of our mortality in the words, “You are but dust and to dust you shall return,” is a wonderful antidote for what he called “practical” atheism. Just like with the idea of mortality, our understanding of our own sinfulness is also under threat of being secularized in our own minds. In a culture committed, in the name of freedom, of removing the categories of “sin” or “guilt,” one quick to give away nearly universal “get-out-of-jail-free” cards in the name of sexual freedom, too many Christians lose any abhorrence for that which ought shock and shame us. Perhaps this is why the salvation brought by Christ's life, death, and resurrection is so often described as “a wonderful example of love and sacrifice” or “how to gain purpose and perspective,” but so rarely in the terms of judicial forgiveness and cosmic victory that Paul and Peter and Jesus Himself so often used. Being confronted with our own sinfulness is certainly no fun, but God graciously does it. After all, the cruelest thing to tell someone who's not okay is that they are, as both secularized cultures and secularized churches too often do. Repentance is a gift, the only way forward for those on the edge of the moral abyss, and proof that God is kind, the Scriptures say. We just don't hear these things often enough. So, thank God for Lent.
