In this Bible Story, the evil intentions of Saul the persecutor is thwarted by the presence of Jesus himself. As Saul is on the road to drag Christians out of their homes and imprison them, Jesus throws him off his horse and blinds him. For three days, Saul wept in darkness. But his sight is restored, and he could see the true light of Christ. This story is inspired by Acts 9:1-31. Go to BibleinaYear.com and learn the Bible in a Year.Today's Bible verse is Acts 9:4 from the King James Version.Episode 223: Saul, filled with rage, was a force against all who claimed the name of Christ. He was on his way to Damascus to gather any Christians he could find there to be tried and executed. While traveling, a light brighter than anything he had ever known appeared before him, and out of this light spoke the voice of Jesus. Blinded by the light, Saul was led by his companions to a house in Damascus. There he would wait for three days until Ananias was sent by God to heal and restore him. From that time on, he began to teach the people the message of Christ instead.Hear the Bible come to life as Pastor Jack Graham leads you through the official BibleinaYear.com podcast.

Presented by Julie Busteed Humility may not be the first trait that comes to your mind as an essential element in healthy relationships. That's what I will look at today as we continue to seek to grow healthy relationships. The first thing that comes to mind when I hear the word humility is I need to have a low opinion of myself. But that's not correct. It's about being interested in others. Serving others. Yes, modesty is part of humility, but it's not being down on yourself. It's putting others first. Paul exhorts the Philippians and us to do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves, not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the others (Philippians 2:3-4). Becky Harling, author of Cultivating Deeper Connections in a Lonely World, writes humble people come in curious to the conversation, and this curiosity is the superpower of connections! They listen and ask questions. They don't come in like the expert. I love that! We can have this superpower if we are simply interested and curious. And that's what I think the Apostle Paul is talking about—to look not to your own interests, but also to the interests of others. Humility also is shown by just being kind, lending a hand, helping a coworker. My friend Heather recently showed a beautiful example of humility. She had her day carefully planned with a full to-do list, but when a friend reached out to spend time together, she chose to set her plans aside. It wasn't what she had intended for the day, and honestly, it wasn't what she felt like doing at the moment—but she recognized her friend needed someone to listen. What makes this even more meaningful is this friendship isn't always easy or comfortable. Yet that very morning, Heather “happened” to read Proverbs 3:27–28. Do not withhold good from those to whom it is due, when it is in your power to act. Do not say to your neighbor, ‘Come back tomorrow and I'll give it to you'—when you already have it with you (Proverbs 3:27–28). Those verses were a timely reminder that God sometimes calls us to act in the moment—to give of ourselves, our time, or our attention—when it's within our power to do so. Heather reflected the heart of Christ that day by choosing relationship over routine, allowing herself to be “interrupted” in order to show love and kindness right when it was needed most. I pray you and I will be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love (Ephesians 4:2).

Retired attorney and author Matthew McWhorter joins the program to discuss his new book, Canon Crossfire, which documents his investigation into the hidden biblical writings. Approaching the topic like a legal case, McWhorter applies an unbiased, evidence-based analysis of the Christian biblical canon—an inquiry that began in skepticism and led to an unexpected conversion.Written for critical thinkers, theology enthusiasts, skeptics, and believers alike, Canon Crossfire explores a profound question: What if the “Apocrypha” were part of the original Apostolic deposit—and what if rejecting them undermines the very foundation Protestants use to defend the resurrection of Christ?As part of this inquiry, McWhorter presents the world's first complete survey of ALL the possible New Testament references and “citation evidence” from the early Church – every single statement made by Christians in the first 450 years about these books. These are all sorted, organized and presented in the manner that makes the most sense for someone who actually wants to read them, rather than just read about them.Learn more at https://canoncrossfire.com/See exclusives and more at https://SarahWestall.Substack.com

Ep. 291 — Holding Fast to Biblical Truth in an Age of Relativism  When your girl starts asking hard questions—about right and wrong, fairness, love, or truth—how do you help her find her footing in a world that says truth is whatever she wants it to be?  In this powerful episode, hosts Rachael Culpepper and Natalie Ambrose dig deep into the cultural currents shaping our daughters' minds today. Together, they unpack what moral relativism looks like in everyday life and explore how parents can anchor their girls in the absolute truth of God's Word. From understanding the roots of modern relativism to recognizing how it creeps into conversations about identity, justice, and love, this episode offers practical, biblical strategies to help families stand firm in faith.  You'll also hear from Patti Garibay, American Heritage Girls Founder & Executive Director Emeritus, in a Raising Godly Girls Minute. Patti sheds light on how this subtle cultural force erodes Biblical conviction—and how Scripture gives parents and girls the solid ground they need to live out God's truth with confidence and grace.  Rachael and Natalie remind us that God's character is not shifting sand; it's the foundation of all truth. Through His Word, He reveals what is right, just, and good—and invites us to reflect that truth in our daily lives, even when it costs us comfort or popularity. For every mom raising girls in this post-truth age, this episode will renew your confidence that God's truth still stands—and so can your family.  Three Things to Remember  Absolute truth exists—and its Author is God. The Ten Commandments still stand as a foundational guide for morality and right living.  Knowing God's character clarifies truth. Understanding His justice, love, and holiness keeps us grounded when culture distorts what's right.  Build courage in your girl. Teach her that following Jesus may not always be popular—but it will always be worth it.    Scripture References in This Episode  Exodus 20:1–17 – The Ten Commandments, God's moral law for His people.  John 16:33 – "In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world."  Philippians 4:8 – "Whatever is true, whatever is noble…think about such things."  Romans 12:2 – "Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind."  Psalm 119:160 – "The sum of your word is truth, and every one of your righteous rules endures forever."  John 14:6 – Jesus said, "I am the way and the truth and the life."  Explore more resources to raise girls rooted in Christ at raisinggodlygirls.com. To find or start an AHG Troop in your area, visit americanheritagegirls.org.

Isolation lies, but the family of God tells the truth: you're never alone. Brothers and sisters in Christ carry burdens, celebrate wins, pray through valleys, and speak courage when your voice is thin. Their presence becomes God's kindness in motion—rides to appointments, meals on doorsteps, texts at midnight, and steady hands in storms. Receive their help and offer yours. And in today's message, Pastor Bill will invite you to lean into Biblical community so hope multiplies and strength returns, together.

Is Nahom really the strongest evidence for the truthfulness of the Book of Mormon? In this episode, we take a deep dive into noe of the most cited archaeological “proofs” of the Book of Mormon -the discovery of altars inscribed with the letters NHM in Yemen.John Dehlin and attorney and former clerk from the Idaho Supreme Court, Kolby Reddish examine what the text of the Book of Mormon actually says about Nahom, where it's supposed to be located, and whether the archaeological evidence matches up. Along the way, we look at how apologists, scholars, and critics have each interpreted this find -and what it really says about the historicity of the Book of Mormon.We also examine whether or not Joseph Smith could have known about Nahom (or Nehem) from maps or Biblical references, and how issues like confirmation bias and faith-based reasoning play into the debate.This conversation aims to be evidence-based, thoughtful, and respectful -seeking understanding amid polarization in the Mormon and ex-Mormon communities.___________________YouTubeAt Mormon Stories we explore, celebrate, and challenge Mormon culture through in-depth stories told by members and former members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints as well as scholars, authors, LDS apologists, and other professionals.  Our overall mission is to: 1.

Israel and the Jewish people always seem to be in the headlines. Terrorism. War. Antisemitism on university campuses and around the globe. Jews are the topics of conversation in podcasts, on school campuses, and in our homes. Yet Christians are wondering about the modern State of Israel and contemporary Jewish people. Are they related to the biblical kingdom of Israel and the ancient Jewish people of the Scriptures? Others question whether Jewish people are only God’s people of yesterday, or do they have an ongoing place in God’s plan? How does the Church relate to the Jewish people, and why should Christians care about the Jewish people and their homeland? Join us as Dr. Michael Rydelnik answers these questions and more as we consider the Biblical position on modern-day Israel.Become a Parshall Partner: http://moodyradio.org/donateto/inthemarket/partnersSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

An essential part of our children's education is learning proper moral behavior. And who better to deliver that ethical guidance than politicians?Huh? Bizarre, yet this is the conclusion of the GOP's theocratic Christian Nationalist faction. They are demanding that legislatures across the country must intervene in local educational policy to require that all public schools plaster every classroom with Christianity's Ten Commandments. It's in-your-face religiosity, forcing one religious dogma on students of every faith. It's also ludicrously hypocritical – after all, legislators are notorious for committing adultery, stealing from the poor, killing in the name of the state, bearing false witness against immigrants, bowing down to false gods… and otherwise mocking the Christian religion's own commandments. Who do these nationalists and their politicians think they're fooling?Certainly not America's free-thinking students. If you wonder whether young people will just go along, take heart in the uplifting thoughts of Arjun Sharda, a high-school freshman in Round Rock, Texas. In a recent op-ed piece, he went right at the humbuggery of the state's Republican leaders: “The same lawmakers who preach about freedom and limited government,” he wrote, “are now legislating what we must hang on our classroom walls... But faith loses its power when it's forced. True belief comes from conviction, not compulsion… Texas prides itself in independence, yet this law enforces conformity.”The Christian Nationalist autocrats are not only trying to turn public classrooms into their exclusive pulpits, but to establish their repressive theology as America's official religion. As Sharda warns, “Texas should stop confusing religion with righteousness – before the wall between church and state becomes just another thing we've torn down.”Do something!To work on the fight to keep church and state actually separate, check out the Freedom from Religion Foundation at ffrf.org.Jim Hightower's Lowdown is a reader-supported publication.

Presented by Julie Busteed I'm looking at some strategies to help grow and build relationships—principles that apply at work, home, church—with everyone. The first two strategies I looked at were loving others and communication skills. I think integrity is also an important component in healthy relationships. Integrity really covers several qualities. It's being honest, having strong moral principles, and being trustworthy and reliable. A great example of integrity in the Old Testament is Daniel. He was taken into captivity from Israel to Babylon, and he became an adviser to the Babylonian kings because of his integrity and trust in God. For many, it's a familiar story but to recap: Daniel refuses to bow down and worship a man-made idol. He worships and prays to God. As a result, he is thrown into a literal lion's den. The next morning, he testifies that my God sent his angel, and he shut the mouths of the lions. They have not hurt me, because I was found innocent in his sight (Daniel 6:22a). Not only did God protect and preserve Daniel, but King Darius also decrees everyone in his kingdom must fear and revere the God of Daniel. Daniel's integrity and courage not only effected his own life, but the entire kingdom was now to fear God. He trusted and honored God in his actions, and his integrity was evident to his employer, resulting in a testimony to the entire kingdom. Integrity can also be something significant done privately, not for public recognition. A friend of mine recently showed a great example of integrity. She just published a book through a traditional publisher. Normally, when you work with a publisher, you receive an advance against future royalties—meaning you don't earn additional royalties until the book's sales cover that advance. And if the book doesn't sell enough to cover it, the author doesn't have to pay it back. That's completely normal. But my friend told me she wants to make sure her book's sales do reach that advance amount. She's putting in extra effort to promote and market her book because she doesn't want to be a burden to the publisher. She isn't required to do this—it's not part of her contract—but she feels it's the right thing to do. Quiet integrity. In both of these examples, integrity was a vital characteristic in dealing with others. Integrity directed how they should act in certain situations—be it life or death—or something that's not really seen by others. With faith in God and belief he is faithful, they lived out their lives in honor to him. Whoever walks in integrity walks securely, but whoever takes crooked paths will be found out (Proverbs 10:9). When we live our lives with integrity, we can walk securely—quietly resting upon God's favor and gracious providence.

The Spiritual Exercises offer an experiential process of pondering (originally in a silent retreat of some 30 days) the Bible story, focusing on observing in prayer how the creation and fall led to Jesus' incarnation and earthly ministry, His redeeming sacrifice, resurrection and ascension. The aim is to integrate the personal, social and spiritual dimensions of life, and so arrive at a renewed Christian vision and vitality. This talk will explain the process of undertaking the exercises and discuss an evangelical Biblical approach to this discipleship tool created within the Catholic Church and how it fits with Schaeffer's legacy of ‘all of life' Christianity.Please note that the ideas expressed in this lecture do not necessarily represent the views of L'Abri Fellowship.For more resources, visit the L'Abri Ideas Library at labriideaslibrary.org. The library contains over two thousand lectures and discussions that explore questions about the reality and relevance of Christianity.

In this week's episode of Retire in Texas, host Darryl Lyons, CEO and Co-Founder of PAX Financial Group, explores a fascinating question supported by years of research: why do studies suggest that women often achieve different investing results than men? Darryl unpacks two key reasons - overconfidence and impulsiveness - and how humility and patience can support more thoughtful, long-term decision-making. He shares personal stories, including how his own wife's encouragement shaped his career, and how engaging a spouse in financial decisions can foster stronger communication and perspective. You'll also hear how legendary investors like Warren Buffett credit their success to temperament over intellect - and why that same mindset can help individuals stay grounded in their approach to investing and relationships. Key highlights include: Why studies show women earn ~2% higher annual returns than men. How overconfidence and impulsive trading can hurt performance. The importance of engaging your spouse in financial decisions. Lessons from the Bush family, Warren Buffett, and real-life examples. Biblical insight from Genesis 2:18 on partnership and harmony.

Send us a textA chant against kings sounds freeing—until you realize the plan hands more power to fewer hands. We take a hard look at why socialism is surging in cultural appeal, how its promise of fairness so often becomes control, and where new digital systems fit into the story. From biometric IDs to central bank digital currencies, global pilots already link identity to payments, turning access into a switch that can be flipped. We connect those headlines to ancient prophecies about loyalty, trade, and a speaking “image,” and ask what wisdom and courage look like right now.You'll hear a clear definition of socialism and a sober review of its track record, followed by an examination of digital ID frameworks tied to the UN Sustainable Development Goals and initiatives like ID2020. We explore how refugees already use iris scans to receive rations, why CBDCs require robust digital identity, and what programmable money means for dissenters and the vulnerable. Along the way we highlight the growing role of AI as a persuasive and enforcing layer, capable of scaling compliance and shaping narratives in ways that would have seemed like science fiction not long ago.But the conversation doesn't end with warnings; it moves toward hope. We talk about God's sovereignty over history, the purpose of prophecy, and the call to strengthen local community. Practical encouragement anchors the close: meet together, encourage one another, steward your gifts, and be ready to help neighbors navigate systems that prize convenience over conscience.

Let's talk about it—women's pleasure in marriage. For too long, Christian women have been taught that sex is just for their husbands, leaving many feeling disconnected, ashamed, or even unaware of God's true design for intimacy.

In this episode, I sit down with Tiera and Alana from Kingdom Sexuality Ministry to unpack what the Bible really says about intimacy, how to break free from shame, and why understanding pleasure is essential to a thriving, God-honoring marriage.

Stephen became the first martyr, and a new enemy emerges from the shadows. A pharisee named Saul. He would prove to be a deadly force for evil.This story is inspired by Acts 6:8-7:60. Go to BibleinaYear.com and learn the Bible in a Year.Today's Bible verse is Acts 7:59 from the King James Version.Episode 221: As the story of Jesus was spreading throughout Jerusalem, the number of believers was growing as well. The family of believers became so big that the twelve enlisted men to help them care for the needs of the people. One of these men, Stephen, preached daily in the synagogues. His teaching angered the Pharisees so they brought him to the Sanhedrin to be tried. As Stephen was giving his address to the men, he was beaten and stoned. But just like his Lord, while they were killing him, he prayed for their forgiveness.Hear the Bible come to life as Pastor Jack Graham leads you through the official BibleinaYear.com podcast.

Reorienting ourselves to think differently about God is a challenge, but necessary if we are to have a correct understanding of God and the Bible. Even the ancient Fathers understood that God does not get angry or jealous. Can we raise our minds to understand why?

What is the book of Revelation really about? For ages, it has been the source of sensationalism, idolatry, confusion, and end-times predictions. But at its root, it is about the power and worship of the Lamb who was slain. Biblical scholar Michael J. Gorman joins Mark Labberton to explore how Christians can read the book of Revelation with wisdom, faith, and hope rather than fear or sensationalism. Drawing from his book Reading Revelation Responsibly: Uncivil Worship and Witness—Following the Lamb into the New Creation, Gorman offers a reorientation to Revelation's central vision: worshipping the Lamb, resisting idolatrous power, and embodying faithful discipleship in the world. Together they discuss Revelation's misuses in popular culture, its critique of empire and nationalism, and its invitation to follow the crucified and risen Christ into the new creation. Episode Highlights "The book of Revelation is about lamb power—not hyper-religious or political power. It's about absorbing rather than inflicting evil." "This book is for those who are confused by, afraid of, and or preoccupied with the book of Revelation." "We shouldn't look for predictions but for parallels and analogies." "Worship, discipleship, and new creation—that's where Revelation hangs its hat." "At its root, Christian nationalism is a form of idolatry." "The only way to come out of Babylon is to go back into Babylon with new values and new practices."

Gorman Michael J. Gorman is the Raymond E. Brown Professor of Biblical Studies and Theology at St. Mary's Seminary & University in Baltimore, Maryland. A leading New Testament scholar, he is the author of numerous books on Pauline theology and Revelation, including Reading Revelation Responsibly, Cruciformity, and Participating in Christ. Gorman's teaching and writing emphasize Scripture as a call to cruciform discipleship, faithful worship, and the hope of new creation. Show Notes Introducing Reading Revelation Responsibly "This book is for those who are confused by, afraid of, and or preoccupied with the Book of Revelation." "Apocalypse" means revelation, not destruction. Emerging from twenty-five years of study and teaching, aimed at rescuing Revelation from misinterpretation or neglect Growing up amid 1970s end-times obsession—Hal Lindsey's The Late Great Planet Earth and fearful youth-group predictions of the world's end Fear of the book of Revelation until he studied it with Bruce Metzger at Princeton Seminary Why he wrote the book: for people who have been scared or confused by Revelation's misuse Interpretation and misreading the book of Revelation Early questions: Does Revelation predict particular events or people? No predictions, but symbolic speaking into every age "Our task is not to find predictions but to discern parallels and analogies." Warning against mapping Revelation onto modern crises or personalities "When those predictions fail, the book gets sidelined or scoffed at." Keep one foot in the first-century context and one in the present Worship and discipleship The heart of Revelation is worship. "This is a book about worship—and about the object of our worship." Explaining the subtitle: Uncivil Worship and Witness—Following the Lamb into the New Creation "Uncivil worship" contrasts with "civil religion"—worship that refuses to idolize political power Influence from Eugene Peterson's Reverse Thunder and his own teaching at St. Mary's, where Peterson once taught Revelation Worship leads to discipleship: "Those who follow the Lamb wherever he goes." True discipleship mirrors the Lamb's humility and non-violence. The lamb and the meaning of power Interpreting Revelation's vision of the slain and standing Lamb as the key to understanding divine power "The crucified Messiah is the risen Lord—but he remains the crucified one." The Lamb appears twenty-eight times, a symbol of universality and completeness. "Revelation is about lamb power—absorbing rather than inflicting evil." Discipleship is cruciform: following the Lamb's way of self-giving love. The unholy trinity and the danger of idolatry Chapters 12–13 depict the dragon and two beasts—the "unholy trinity" of satanic, imperial, and religious power. "Power gone amok": political, military, and spiritual domination that mimic divinity How true worship resists empire and exposes idolatry Warning against reading these beasts as predictions of the UN or the pope; rather, they reveal recurring alliances of religion and politics "At its root, Christian nationalism is idolatry." When political identity eclipses discipleship, "political power always wins, and faith loses." Faith, politics, and worship today Christian nationalism as a modern form of "civil religion," conflating patriotism with divine will "It's only Christian in name—it lacks Christian substance." Idolatry is not limited to one side: "It permeates the left, the right, and probably the centre." Labberton agrees: false worship is endemic wherever self-interest and fear shape our loves. Both stress that Revelation calls the church to worship the Lamb, not the state. "Revelation critiques all human systems of false worship." Revelation's goal: Not destruction, but new creation "Destruction is penultimate—cleansing the way for renewal." Believers already live as citizens of that new creation. "The only way to come out of Babylon is to go back into Babylon with new values and new practices." Communal, not merely individual, discipleship: "Revelation is written to churches, not just believers." Reinterpreting Revelation 3:20: Jesus knocking isn't an altar call to unbelievers but Christ seeking re-entry into his own church. "Jesus always wants to come back in." Living revelation today Spirituality of hope, not fear or withdrawal "Reading Revelation responsibly means engaging the world through worship and witness." How true worship is dangerous because it transforms our allegiance. "Following the Lamb into the new creation is the church's act of resistance." Conclusion: "Worthy is the Lamb."

Presented by Julie Busteed Are there people in your life you find difficult to get along with or really understand? I am examining biblical strategies to help grow and build healthy relationships, and communication is a key tool. A verse you might be familiar with is everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry (James 1:19b). Honestly if we all practiced that, I think there would be much less miscommunication. Let's break this down. What does it mean to be quick to listen? Studies show good communication is essential for organizations. Marjorie North—a communications expert—says we only hear half of what is being said in any given conversation. It's true, isn't it? I can be distracted by something outside the conversation, or I can begin to form a response to something the person said. No matter what distracts me, I struggle to listen. You and I need to practice active listening. And I mean practice; it will take a lot of practice. Put the distractions away—and by this, I mean your phone! Give the person your full attention. I know someone who is so good at this. I can tell when I am speaking to him I have his full attention. It's a great thing to be heard—really heard. Some other ways to be quick to listen is to repeat back what you believe you heard the person saying. And if you don't understand something, ask clarifying questions. Try not to interrupt them. What does it mean to be slow to speak? I think we need to be careful and thoughtful. Examine your words before you say them. Depending on what the conversation is, you might even need some time to think before responding. Do you see someone who speaks in haste? There is more hope for a fool than for them (Proverbs 29:20). Those who guard their lips preserve their lives, but those who speak rashly will come to ruin (Proverbs 13:3). James also goes on to talk about our tongues—what we say and how our words can bless or curse others. He compares our tongue to the bit that steers a horse or the rudder that guides a ship. What comes out of your mouth can not only corrupt your whole body but others as well. The Psalmist prays to set a guard over my mouth, Lord; keep watch over the door of my lips (Psalm 141:3). And the Apostle Paul encourages the Ephesians to not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen (Ephesians 4:29). Good communication in relationships is necessary. It's a skill you and I can practice and improve, but we need to be mindful and intentional.

The angel commissioned them to go back into the temple and preach to the people. They obeyed and were arrested again.
