As a scholar said, “Once it happened that the crafty was taken in his own trap, the falsely condemned were saved, and the worthy were rewarded. It is not always so.” Perhaps [the] story [in Esther which we study today] has endured because it has given the comfort of hope to other oppressed people” [and demonstrates God in the details of our lives.] Although God is not expressly mentioned in the book of Esther, there appears to be evidence in it of the God whom Job describes, who can ‘set up on high those that be low; that those which mourn may be exalted to safety.'”( Job 5:11-12 ). Ellis Rasmussen, Latter-day Saint Commentary on the Old Testament.

Pat McAfee and Sophie Cunningham came up through the same Midwest city — a punter and a bench player — and became stars by doing one thing: picking a side and being real. Jason Whitlock, an Indianapolis native, breaks it down. Michael Jordan built an empire on "Republicans buy sneakers too" — stay neutral, offend no one. In 1991, it was genius. In 2026, it's a losing game. In the social media era, authenticity is the only asset that can't be faked. McAfee stood by Aaron Rodgers when it was a fireable offense. Cunningham says what she believes and dares you to argue. So what happens to a can't-miss prospect like Caitlin Clark when she plays it safe? ➢​​Today's Sponsors PreBorn has helped rescue more than 400,000 babies, and every single day, they continue that work by offering mothers something powerful and life-changing: an ultrasound.

What if your child told you they could see angels? Would you know how to respond? Would you dismiss it, fear it, or lean in with curiosity and prayer? In this deeply personal and powerful episode of Revelations Podcast, Reagan welcomes back Lori from Remnant Rising to discuss a topic many believers quietly wonder about but rarely talk about openly: seeing in the spirit. Together they explore what Scripture says about angels, demons, spiritual warfare, supernatural experiences, and how God may reveal spiritual realities to both adults and children. Lori vulnerably shares her family's recent journey after her son began describing encounters with angels, spiritual battles, and dark figures with remarkable detail. Rather than responding with fear, Lori chose to seek biblical wisdom, pray with authority, and learn how to steward what God may be revealing. This conversation is not about sensationalizing the supernatural—it's about recognizing that our faith is inherently supernatural and that Jesus has already won the victory. If you've ever experienced something you couldn't explain, if your child has shared unusual spiritual experiences, or if you've wondered what Scripture teaches about the unseen realm, this episode will encourage you to respond with wisdom, discernment, and confidence in Christ.

Is there a situation in your life that just isn't right? Are you frustrated by the injustice of it all? Do you feel like God must be plugging His ears to your prayers? Jesus told a story that shows how much our Judge loves our audacity—our chutzpah—our relentless asking. He doesn't just want polite prayers; He invites us to come boldly with our needs, doubts, and frustrations.

What if the most restrictive walls in your life aren't made of stone, but are built entirely from man's discord?In this powerful episode of the Interviewing Jesus Podcast, host Kristen Wambach dives deep into the profound reality of modern, invisible confinement—the suffocating pressure to perform, the weight of expectations, and the unexpected circumstances that threaten to shrink our world. When our immediate instinct in the friction is to beg for a supernatural jailbreak, we often miss the grander invitation of the Gospel.Through His own flesh, Christ did something far more radical than merely smashing open exterior doors: He tuned our inner frequency to His own. He offered us an inheritance of strength, perseverance, and a life completely bathed in peace, immersing us into an incorruptible, immortal liberty that never requires permission from our surroundings to exist.By shaking out the scriptures from Paul's prison epistles and contrasting his strategic sovereign rest with Peter's miraculous jailbreak in Acts 12, this episode shifts the paradigm of true Christian spiritual growth. You will discover that when you are fully unified with Him, freedom is no longer a destination you are running toward—it is the very atmosphere you carry right where you are. Stop settling for less than the absolute liberty He already purchased for you, and learn how to live spiritually brave in the middle of any environment.What You Will Discover in This Episode: The Architecture of the Invisible Cell: Recognizing the universal spiritual confinement created by performance culture and modern anxieties. Tuned to His Frequency: How Christ's sacrifice harmonized our mortal frame into the unchanging frequency of divine immortality. Peter's Escape vs. Paul's Choice: Shaking out the text to see why Paul chose to stay behind bars to weaponize his confinement and broadcast the immortal Word.

In this episode of We Should Know Better, the guys dive headfirst into a hilariously chaotic mix of viral street culture, heavy theological head-scratchers, and unsolicited physical observations.  Zack and Andy break down a bizarre viral video of a street preacher casting quite the extreme "biblical" curse on a dancing Jesus impersonator. They then pivot into a raw, honest conversation about their own insecurities—from Zack's legendary "missing link" brow ridge to Andy's sudden realization that his bladder is working overtime.  Later, they tackle the mental shift of unexpected inheritance money, debate the controversial new Texas law mandating Bible reading in public schools, and pull up the receipts on Genesis 9 to figure out exactly what happened when Noah got a little too drunk in his tent.  Finally, they question whether a lack of modern creativity means the global simulation is simply running out of memory.

"If it was fun, they wouldn't call it work.""Daddy, I don't want you to go to work."Out of the heart, the mouth speaks—and these are the sorts of things our mouths speak about work. What does that say about our hearts? And what truths do we need in our hearts so that our mouths can speak differently?https://www.kibbeconsulting.com/https://www.gnu.edu/Thanks to the Sun City Church Marketplace Ministry for inviting me to give this talk!

If you want to better understand the heart of God and see how His love is consistently at work from Genesis to today, this conversation will deepen your biblical understanding and strengthen your hope in His unchanging character. Jennifer Matheny came onto my podcast to talk about her book Hesed, the Seed of the Biblical Story and the powerful, often overlooked theme of God’s steadfast love woven throughout Scripture. We explore what hesed really means in the Old Testament and how it reveals God’s faithful, covenantal love in every season of our lives.

The CCP is "Sinicizing" Christianity by rewriting biblical stories to promote socialist values. Samuel Ben-Ur explains that state-run churches now emphasize loyalty to Xi Jinping and the party over traditional religious teachings and scripture. (6/16)1920

In this episode, we're joined by Dr. Jennifer Matheny, who is associate professor of Christian Scriptures at George W. Truett Seminary, Baylor University, in Waco, Texas, and the author of Hesed, the Seed of the Biblical Story: New Life for Old Testament Theology (published by Baker Academic). As we discuss, the term Hesed is notoriously difficult to translate, but by situating its variegated meanings within the stories and the Story of scripture, Dr. Matheny helps to shed new light on its significance. Team members on the episode from The Two Cities include: Dr. John Anthony Dunne and Dr. Brandon Hurlbert. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Together, they discuss why traditional narratives appear depleted, how propaganda differs from true myth, and why fairy tales continue to communicate truths modern culture struggles to articulate.The conversation turns toward artists and storytellers, what it means to create work rooted in beauty, transcendence, and enduring symbolic patterns rather than novelty or cynicism.

Join Pastor Demetrius McCray as he delivers an inspiring sermon on faith, perseverance, and God's promises. Through biblical stories and personal insights, McCray encourages listeners to trust in God's plan and embrace the blessings prepared for them. This sermon, delivered at Calvary, emphasizes the importance of preparation, faith, and embracing divine opportunities.

Faith and action is required to accessing the glory of God. The resurrection of Lazarus and the transfiguration of Jesus, are just two examples in witnessing God's divine miracles. The supernatural realm awaits those who hear and act upon His word.

What happens when ancient biblical narratives collide with Wall Street ambition? Author Jean Blasberg takes us on a fascinating journey through her literary trilogy, culminating in Daughter of a Promise- a bold, contemporary reimagining of the David and Bathsheba story set in the high-stakes world of investment banking.The conversation reveals how Blasberg transforms this ancient tale of power imbalance into a relevant examination of workplace dynamics, consent, and unexpected love. Her Bathsheba (renamed Betsabe) is a young professional navigating a complex relationship with her powerful boss during the isolation of the COVID-19 pandemic. Most compelling is Blasberg's decision to give voice to a character largely silenced in biblical tradition, crafting the novel as a wisdom letter from mother to future son.We explore the challenges facing authors who incorporate biblical themes in today's publishing landscape.  The industry's reluctance to embrace religious references - despite their profound influence on Western literature - creates both obstacles and opportunities for writers willing to pursue unconventional projects.Similarly, Blasberg shares her thoughtful approach to writing across cultural boundaries, working with sensitive editors while creating authentic characters outside her own experience.For writers struggling with marketplace pressures versus artistic vision, Blasberg offers liberating advice: "Write the story that's burning to come out." Her journey from traditional expectations to finding her unique voice serves as inspiration for creators navigating today's complex publishing environment.Ready to discover how timeless stories can illuminate contemporary issues?Have a comment?

Have you ever felt unseen or overlooked? Maybe you’ve wondered if anyone notices your efforts, your heart, or even your presence. If so, you are not alone. This week on The Love Offering podcast, I had the joy of talking with Mary DeMuth about her newest book, The Most Overlooked Women of the Bible. In our conversation, Mary tenderly reminds us that feeling unseen is not a new struggle—many women in Scripture felt the very same way. Yet through their stories, we are invited to discover a profound truth: we are both seen and heard by the God who loves us. Together, we explore questions like:✨ Why do I feel invisible sometimes?✨ How can I overcome feelings of rejection?✨ What does it really mean to live a “seen” life in a world obsessed with recognition? Mary’s words are like a balm to the soul—offering hope, healing, and a fresh reminder that you have a beautiful, meaningful place in God’s story. I pray this conversation encourages you to rest in His love, find joy in who He created you to be, and live empowered to use your unique voice for His glory. You are seen. You are heard. You are deeply loved.

In this thought-provoking episode of Father and Joe, hosts Father Boniface and Joe Rockey delve into the complex reactions of the townspeople in the biblical story of the Gerasene demoniac. Join them as they uncover the profound spiritual insights hidden within this narrative from the Gospel of Matthew.As Joe questions the puzzling reaction of the townspeople, who ask Jesus to leave after He miraculously heals a demon-possessed man, Father Boniface provides a deep and enlightening understanding. He explains that the power of Jesus is fundamentally the power of love, capable of transforming and freeing even the most isolated and tormented individuals. Yet, it is this very power that instills fear and apprehension among the townspeople—a fear of the unknown and the transformations it may demand.Throughout the episode, Father Boniface illuminates the transformative power of love and mercy, both in biblical times and in our daily lives. He emphasizes that God's wild and reckless love always meets us where we are, extending mercy that respects our individual pacing and willingness to convert. Through mercy, God desires to guide us toward justice—right relationships with ourselves and others.The hosts draw a parallel between this biblical story and our own struggles with demons, not necessarily supernatural, but the personal battles that isolate us from others. They discuss the importance of relationships in healing and growth, highlighting how we can reach out for help and offer love to those in need.As the conversation unfolds, Father Boniface and Joe also reflect on the often overlooked significance of Divine Mercy in the Catholic tradition. They remind listeners of the profound message: God's love is ever-present, extending to us, no matter our circumstances or how far we have strayed. In a world filled with challenges and uncertainties, this episode calls us to embrace the love of God, which not only frees us from our demons but empowers us to repair broken relationships and live in right harmony with others.Whether you struggle with faith, question divine interventions, or seek a more profound connection with God, this episode offers spiritual guidance and encouragement to delve deeper into the transformative power of love and mercy.Tags:Biblical Stories, Faith, Spirituality, Jesus, Demons, Love, Mercy, Divinity, Relationships, Christianity, Faith Journey, Divine Interventions, Healing, Transformation, Gospel of Matthew, Apostle Reactions, God's Power, Divine Love, Isolation, Fear of Change, Right Relationships, Catholic Tradition, Divine Mercy, Faith Reflection, Bible Study, Personal Growth, Spiritual Guidance, Overcoming Fear, Community Healing, Love and Transformation, Catholic Faith, Emotional Healing, Power of Love, Faith Challenges, Personal Demons, Biblical Insights, Faith Conversations, Divine Love, Mental Battles, Healing Through Relationships, Faithful DiscussionsHashtags:#BiblicalStories, #Faith, #Spirituality, #Jesus, #Demons, #Love, #Mercy, #Divinity, #Relationships, #Christianity, #FaithJourney, #DivineInterventions, #Healing, #Transformation, #GospelOfMatthew, #ApostleReactions, #GodPower, #DivineLove, #Isolation, #FearOfChange, #RightRelationships, #CatholicTradition, #DivineMercy, #FaithReflection, #BibleStudy, #PersonalGrowth, #SpiritualGuidance, #OvercomingFear, #CommunityHealing, #CatholicFaith, #EmotionalHealing, #PowerOfLove, #FaithChallenges, #PersonalDemons, #BiblicalInsights, #FaithConversations, #MentalBattles, #HealingThroughRelationships, #FaithfulDiscussions

This Spring, we are tracing the movements of the Biblical Story, seeking to be formed by God and His Word. From the creative glories of Genesis 1-2 to the final restoration of all things in Revelation 21-22, the Bible tells the story of the faithfulness of God as he works to rescue a world in rebellion to his sovereign love. At each stage of the Story, he is fashioning a people for himself, a people who can receive his love, carry his presence, and be his means of restoring the world to its former glory. All of this culminates in Jesus, of course, who is the True Hero of the Story, and who invites sinners and sufferers to join his world-restoring mission, until he returns to make all things new. This week, we come to the Consummation of All Things, the great End of the Story: The Restoration of All Things: A New Place, a New People, and the Ever-New Presence of God!

Chapter 01 of Heroes in the Bible: David with Dr. Tony Evans is inspired by 1 Samuel 8-10. A Rejected God - The rebellious children of Israel continue to thrive under the gracious protection of their God. However, their hearts crave slavery, and they desire a king to rule over them instead of the Lord who has saved them. God gives them what they ask for, but is it what they need? Today's opening prayer is inspired by Psalm 23:4-5, Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me. Your rod and your staff, they comfort me. You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil. My cup runs over.

This week we approach the upside-down climax of the story: the CROSS OF JESUS CHRIST. How does God restore his blessing to the world? How does he accomplish salvation? How does he restore his Kingdom? Only through the suffering sacrifice of Jesus.

This week we come to JESUS, the hero we have been waiting for. He is the exact representation of God, the king we have been waiting for, the true messiah, and the glory we have lost. Jesus leads us to the kingdom of shalom we lost, rescuing us from the empire back to shalom goodness. And Jesus restores to us the presence of God we were created for, rescuing us from sin and isolation back to the presence of God. In Jesus, all that was lost in the fall is redeemed.

A new book has been released by the father/son team of Richard and Christopher Hays titled The Widening of God's Mercy: Sexuality Within the Biblical Story. I hate to be the spoiler, but the thesis is, God changes His mind and His will, so it's OK to ignore what the Bible used to say about same-sex relationships, God's intention in marriage and creation, etc., so as to embrace the current cultural insanity. Yes, great stuff, but it is what we are dealing with today. And, ironically, that concept is also behind Pope Francis' recent statements indicating, minimally, his inclusivism, and possibly even his universalism. In either case, he teaches something completely different than what Rome has taught for a very long time.
