The Bible tells us that God is love, and that we should love as God loves. So what does "love" mean in the Biblical sense? What does it look like to love the way the Bible envisions? Those are the vital questions we'll explore this Sunday.

Terry looks at Acts 1 and what we can learn as we look at Jesus and the conversation in this passage.

What if the way you love could change the world—starting in your own home? In a culture that feels fractured and hostile, loving others like Jesus isn't just hard—it feels impossible. But what if God gave us a blueprint for loving without limits? Author and podcaster, Rachael Adams has recently released her second book, Everyday Prayers for Love: Learning to Love God, Others and Even Yourself. We are often told the Bible is God's love letter to us, yet we struggle to comprehend the height, width, and depth that this eternal God has for His beloved. How would fully understanding God's love for us change the way we love others? The way we love ourselves? In this episode, we'll uncover practical ways to reflect His heart in everyday life, even when opinions clash and relationships feel strained.

Rebuilding Our Broken World: God Provides Nehemiah 8:13-18 Dr. Stuart Bond November 9, 2025

From the sermon series, "Your Work Matters." Dr. Joel Elies explores where everything went wrong in Genesis 3:16-19, and talks about how we can work as redeemed people in a broken world.

Because this life is where we are now, and wouldn't it be extraordinary if we could flip the script around, so that instead of projecting qualities of this broken world onto the next, we could instead take the hints we get about the wholeness that awaits us and get about the business of living that way now and here?

From IBM and Microsoft to serving as Chief Business Officer at Google X, Mo Gawdat has spent over three decades at the forefront of technology and innovation. Today, the bestselling author turns his engineer's mind toward life's biggest question: how can we live well and meaningfully in an age defined by artificial intelligence? This monumental 2.5 hour episode, which Mo Islam called “the best I've ever shot”, is a journey through life, loss, and the future of humanity.Mo Gawdat opens up about his late son Ali and the lessons that inspired ‘Solve for Happy', before diving into the decade of disruption ahead: from the rise of AI and autonomous weapons to universal basic income and the impending economic reset. Together, the two Mo's explore why Arabs are so misunderstood in the West, how ethical AI must be grounded in love and empathy, and how the Middle East can lead the next wave of innovation.  They challenge the failures of modern education, the grip of the military-industrial complex, and even the mysteries of the space-time continuum, all while searching for meaning in what Mo calls the “legendary level” of modern life. A very big thanks to Merwas Studios in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia for inviting us to shoot in their WORLD CLASS Studios! 00:00 Intro03:18 IBM, Microsoft & Google X05:07 Losing Ali: The Moment Everything Changed09:27 Writing Solve for Happy11:41 Leaving Google & Launching “1 Billion Happy”13:35 Living with Loss17:05 Fate, Life & the Interconnectedness of Everything23:04 Death as the Opposite of Birth26:02 The Video Game of Life31:23 Ali's Death & Mo's Purpose34:53 Redefining Success: Impact over Ego38:54 Learning, Curiosity & Creation44:08 Solitude & Silent Retreats49:01 Meditation Practices55:13 Mindfulness in Daily Life57:06 The Loneliness Epidemic1:01:02 East vs. West: Community vs. Individualism1:05:10 Surveillance, Privacy & the Illusion of Security1:08:11 Raising Children in a Broken World1:11:03 The Collapse of Capitalism & the Rise of AI1:21:16 China vs. The West1:24:06 The Illusion of Stock Markets & Institutional Control1:30:03 War Economics: How Weapons Drive Profit1:35:19 Humanity's Awakening & Questioning the System1:41:08 Reclaiming the Arab Narrative1:47:27 Building Ethical AI1:52:18 Entrepreneurship, Self-Reliance & Believing in the Region2:00:03 Education is Broken2:07:03 Business vs. Capitalism: Purpose Over Profit2:10:00 Reclaiming Global Perception2:17:13 Governance, Fairness & Leadership in the Arab World2:22:06 Living in Uncertain Times2:25:17 The Ultimate Video Game of Life2:26:57 Closing Reflections

What if the real danger isn't what's done to us, but what we allow to take root within us? In this courageous and countercultural episode, Michelle explores what it means to love and release those who hurt us, not to excuse their actions, but to protect our peace and preserve our humanity. Drawing on the wisdom of a prisoner of war's words, sheunpacks how hatred can become its own kind of prison and how love, integrity, and sovereignty can set us free.You'll hear:

Life doesn't always go the way we plan — dreams fade, plans twist, and sometimes what we thought was progress turns out to be loss. In Ecclesiastes 7, Solomon turns from despair to wisdom, showing us that there's a better way to live in a fallen world. In this message, Pastor Darrell Underwood explores how God uses sorrow, correction, and limits to teach us what success and wisdom really look like. You'll discover: • Why the “house of mourning” is a better teacher than the “house of feasting.” • How to avoid the twin traps of self-righteousness and reckless living. • What it means to walk humbly in the fear of God when life doesn't make sense. With real-life stories like “The Pink Slip Providence,” this episode reminds us that even our hardest days can become classrooms of divine wisdom. The better way isn't the easiest — it's the one that leads us closer to the heart of God.

In this What We Believe message, Pastor Woody Morwood explores God's creation, the Fall, and the hope of redemption. We unpack Genesis 1–3 to understand God's original design for life, relationships, and purpose—and how sin brought brokenness, fear, and separation.Through the story of Adam and Eve and the trials of Job, Pastor Woody shows how God's sovereignty and grace guide us through suffering, offering a path to restoration. Scripture from Isaiah, Psalms, 2 Corinthians, and Revelation 21 reveals God's plan to make all things new through Jesus Christ.Discover how God is at work in your life, your relationships, and the world—even in the midst of chaos—and find hope in His redemptive powerKey Scripture References:Genesis 1–3 – Creation, humanity in God's image, and the FallRomans 8:22 – Creation groaning under sinJob 38–42 – God's sovereignty amidst sufferingPsalm 51:10 – God creates a pure heartIsaiah 53:4-6 – The suffering servant redeems humanity2 Corinthians 5:17-19 – New creation in ChristRevelation 21:1-5 – God making all things newNehemiah 9:6; Hebrews 1:3 – God sustains creationAdditional Resources:Video: Where Were You? – Ghost Ship - https://www.youtube.com/watch?app=desktop&v=YIS0av9fUUUPhilip Yancey, Where Is God When It Hurts?Walter Brueggemann, Genesis: Interpretation CommentaryDon Thorson, An Exploration of Christian TheologyVisual artwork inspired by Isaiah 53 by a studentFor the full gathering of this message which includes worship, visit our Youtube channel.

The Kingdom for You: Hearing God's Voice and Partnering in the Battle In this episode of the Exploring More Podcast, Michael Thompson and SJ Jennings explore the profound reality that the Kingdom of God isn't just coming—it's for you. Picking up the thread from previous episodes on the map of darkness and light, they discuss how Jesus didn't just defeat the enemy—He invites us to join Him in bringing the Kingdom to earth. From stories like The Chronicles of Narnia and 50 First Dates, to biblical truths and personal experience, Michael and SJ unpack what it means to recognize God's voice, partner with the Holy Spirit, and live as image bearers of light in a world still shadowed by darkness. They emphasize that hearing from God isn't a spiritual elite experience—it's part of our design. With tools like the Pause app and YouVersion devotionals, they offer practical ways to slow down, be still, and listen deeply. This episode is a call to engage: to practice stillness, recognize the King's voice, and live as an agent of redemption in the Story we've been invited into. We hope you enjoy this episode and invite you to connect with us!

My guest today on the Online for Authors podcast is JF Monroe, author of the book The Legendary Guardians: Reunions. When reality isn't enough, you build your universe. That's precisely what J.F. Monroe did with the Legacy of the Four trilogy, creating a world where ancient powers walk among us and destiny can be rewritten by the courage of the human heart.   A lifelong devotee of fantasy fiction, Monroe crafts stories that blend epic adventure with deeply personal journeys. Her writing draws inspiration from the character-driven narratives of "The Lord of the Rings" and "Harry Potter," the high stakes of "The Hunger Games," and the intricate plotting of Christopher Nolan's films. These influences combine in her work to create stories where even the most extraordinary characters feel remarkably real.   At the heart of Monroe's storytelling philosophy lies a simple truth: the most powerful magic comes from human connection. Her characters—whether they're vessels for ancient powers or loyal companions with four legs—face struggles that resonate with readers long after they turn the last page. She crafts protagonists who aren't just extraordinary in their abilities but also in their capacity for growth, love, and sacrifice.   When not weaving tales of legendary guardians and supernatural realms, Monroe can be found immersed in the stories that fuel her imagination—curled up with a good book and a steaming cup of coffee, embarking on movie marathons, or exploring virtual worlds through video games. These moments of escape and adventure inspire new stories and new worlds for readers to discover.   In my book review, I stated The Legendary Guardians: Reunions is a fantasy. I enjoyed the storyline and would have given it more stars if it weren't for the multitude of gratuitous explicit scenes. If you don't mind spice or are willing to skip the scenes, you'll find the story has a lot of depth.   We learn early on that the human race is being held together by a treaty that keeps demons, angels, and the seven deadly sins in check. The enforcers of the treaty are the four horsemen. However, the horsemen have to choose human hosts during an event called the crucible.   Both Shade and Theo, teenagers in love, are chosen to participate in the crucible - and Theo is chosen as a horseman, tearing the young lovers brutally apart. Several years go by, but Shade can't move on with her life. Then, strange things begin to happen - things that suggest the treaty is no longer in effect.   What will this mean for Shade? For Theo? For the world? This book is fast-paced and leaves you wanting the next installment.   Content note: There are some rather detailed sex scenes. I chose to skip them and doing so did not change the book's narrative.   Subscribe to Online for Authors to learn about more great books! https://www.youtube.com/@onlineforauthors?sub_confirmation=1   Join the Novels N Latte Book Club community to discuss this and other books with like-minded readers: https://www.facebook.com/groups/3576519880426290   You can follow Author JF Monroe Website: https://www.jfmonroebookshelf.com/ IG: @jf.monroe TikTok: @jf.monroe   Purchase The Legendary Guardians: Reunions on Amazon: Paperback: https://amzn.to/4mbsu7m Ebook:  https://amzn.to/46lsUDE   Teri M Brown, Author and Podcast Host: https://www.terimbrown.com FB: @TeriMBrownAuthor IG: @terimbrown_author X: @terimbrown1   Want to be a guest on Online for Authors?

Even thinking about engaging in a conversation with kids about sexuality can feel scary, but Laurie and Matt Krieg have a heart to help parents approach the topic without fear.The Kriegs join Jackie and Preston to discuss moving beyond the shame-filled messages of purity culture – what was a “theology of no” – instead to a theology of goodness and flourishing. They talk about being your child's “anchoring bias” – the first voice a child hears on these topics – and why it's so important to respond like Jesus when your child is exposed to something online or confesses. Laurie and Matt also share about a new video series called “Raising Kids,” created with other thought leaders including Jon Tyson, John Mark Comer, Preston Sprinkle, and the Perrys, among many others. This 8-part video series is designed for parents of kids 12 and under, covering topics such as porn prevention, body safety, gender, and belonging. https://courses.christian-sexuality.com/courses/raising-kids  Check out Laurie and Matt's upcoming book, Raising Wise Kids in a Sexually Broken World: A Gospel-Centered Approach, releasing January 2026: https://www.amazon.com/Raising-Wise-Sexually-Broken-World/dp/1514012146Scripture references:Psalm 88:1-5 This Episode is Sponsored By:https://magicspoon.com/PERRY — Get $5 off your next order!https://policygenius.com/perry — Compare free life insurance quotes from top companies and see how much you could save.

The Wounded Healer: a broken world needs a scarred Saviour

William Taylor - Why do our best dreams and highest hopes — for love, success, self-improvement, or 'the perfect life' — so often end in disappointment? Genesis 3 reveals the reason behind our frustration…and points us toward the remedy.

On "Hot Takes" this week, Crystal Eternal and YUNG SHIRO 白 had a sit-down with influential artist, label owner, and scene builder Brickmason! Friendly, inviting, and bursting with well-tempered takes, we invited Brick to the show to get behind the curtain of not only his own project but his record label and IRL and URL show throwing experiences. Brickmason has been making music far longer than he cares to admit and has enjoyed a noteworthy degree of acclaim for his three part 2023 vaporwave album series "Pokédreams". Not only did he corner the hushwave subset of the vaporwave scene, but his label Hushtones has released several must-hear barber beats, slushwave, vaporbreaks, and vaportrap releases as well. For episode eighty-five, we discussed the working class background behind Brickmason's project name. Brick imparted his thoughts on releasing art by questionable artists, working with visualists like Solodolo84 and the whole WVSQD team, and acts that he likes a lot, like Bentoboy, Mabisyo, and Victory Over Death. Hearing Brickmason tell the stories behind the Beats for a Broken World livestream event with Cassette Cache and Doki Doki Beats was a highlight! Sharing our love of his recent hard copy VHS release of Dreamcastle's "LEGO Castle: 1979-1998" and hearing the story of seeing the album release live was a meaningful moment that also was not to be missed. Don't miss this fun and family-friendly episode with our friend Brickmason! "Hot Takes" is a safe space for all opinions! Join the conversation at https://linktr.ee/hottakesvapor

This week, in two vastly different conversations, the same question came up: Why bother? Whether it's the weight of repeated failure or the heartbreak of a world that feels broken, it's easy to wonder what the point is. In today's episode, I'm sharing two real-life moments — one rooted in personal frustration, and another in the aftermath of a community tragedy — that both led to this question… and the truth I believe we need to hold onto: Your health matters. Not for the number on the scale. Not for appearances. But because healthy people create healthy communities. We need physically, mentally, and spiritually well individuals now more than ever — in homes, schools, workplaces, and online spaces. If you're feeling powerless to change what's happening around you, this episode is for you. You have a part to play — and your health equips you to play it well.
