Rose Bao is a canine behaviourist, counsellor, and coach, guided by fear-free principles and a deep respect for the emotional lives and agency of dogs and their humans. Her practice is collaborative and evidence-based, grounded in years of hands-on work across shelter rehabilitation, group classes, and private consultation, and shaped by the influence of her first dog, Bruno.She holds a first-class honours degree in biomedical engineering, with specialty focus on chronic pain, and is completing a master's in clinical animal behaviour at the University of Edinburgh. Her research interests lie in anthrozoology, with a particular focus on how agency, power, and identity intersect in dog training cultures. Drawing on her queer Australian-Chinese identity and performance practice in gender-bending burlesque, Rose contributes an intersectional social science voice to animal behaviour, situating the lived realities of dogs and their people within broader cultural and political contexts.Recent essays include Masculinity, Control, and Colonial Inheritance in 21st Century Dog Training Cultures and Anthropocentrism and the Digital Gaze in Human–Dog Interactions.With a blend of empathy, curiosity, and clinical insight, Rose seeks to reimagine dog training as a space where the agency of both dogs and humans is recognised, negotiated, and celebrated.Valli Fraser-Celin, PhD is an advocate for humane, fear/force-free dog training; she primarily shares her advocacy work through her Instagram account (@thelivesofwilddogs), where she documents life with her dogs, Husk and Sully, while promoting evidence-based approaches to canine welfare and training. Valli holds a PhD in Geography from the University of Guelph, where her doctoral research focused on human–African wild dog conflict and conservation in Botswana. She then completed postdoctoral research in Community Health Sciences at the University of Calgary, where she explored the roles of dogs in Indigenous communities across Canada. Since 2018, she has been working in the equitable access to veterinary care field, primarily in remote, Northern communities across Canada.Her scholarship has examined themes of animal agency and subjectivity, contributing to broader conversations on how human–animal relationships shape both animal welfare and community well-being. She continues to bring this perspective into her applied advocacy, emphasizing the importance of recognizing animals as sentient beings with their own experiences and needs. Through her combined academic background and hands-on experience with companion dogs, Valli bridges the gap between research and everyday practice, working to shift perspectives on how humans understand, care for, and coexist with dogs.Legal Disclaimer: This podcast is intended for educational purposes only and does not constitute advice or professional services by either the host nor any of the guests. Thank you for listening to the Enlightened Pet Behavior Podcast.

Jesus Frees Us From All Our Prisons with Pastor Ted Doering.based off of Psalm 102:18-22 & Luke 4:16-21.More information is available at www.narrative.church

7 takeaways from this study The primary purpose of Israel’s Tabernacle is God's presence among His people — not merely a system for managing sin. Obedience matters more than ritual offerings. Genuine devotion cannot be substituted by outward sacrifices. Rebuilding walls of Jerusalem parallels spiritual restoration (community, family, self). Protect what's inside, and evaluate what you allow in. Boundaries and discernment are essential to guard spiritual life and community health. True renewal is inward. The new covenant promise of a new heart and Spirit as the basis for lasting transformation. Historical context of Esther, Ezra and Nehemiah shows God working through imperfect people and situations to fulfill His purposes. Zion and God's dwelling are ultimately God's work. Holiness comes from His presence and Spirit, not merely human institutions or appearances. As we prepare for Purim and read passages for Shabbat Zachor 1Deuteronomy 25:17–19; 1Samuel 15:2–34; 1Peter 4:12–5:11 (Sabbath of Remembrance of what Amalek did to Israel), we focus on the Tabernacle's purpose, the dangers of substituting ritual for obedience, the prophetic promise of inward renewal, and the practical task of rebuilding walls — in community and in the heart. The books of Exodus, Esther, Ezra and Nehemiah provide historical context and spiritual application for believers who want God's presence to be the center of life. “God with us” — foreshadowed in the Tabernacle, brought to life in Messiah Yeshua (Christ Jesus). Why the Tabernacle? Throughout the study we return to a core corrective: the tabernacle's primary purpose is to house God's presence, not simply to manage sin. The tabernacle and temple signify that the Creator dwells among His people. Moses' request, “Show me Your glory” (Exodus 33), captures this longing: what Israel really desires is the presence of the One who goes with them. The Hebrew notion of כָּבוֹד kavod — “glory” or, literally, “heaviness” — points to the manifest presence of God that makes a people heavy, significant, and recognizable among the nations. When the presence departs, the reality is Ichabod (“the glory has departed,” 1Samuel 4:21). Heaven’s kavod departing the Tabernacle is also called the “abomination of desolation” (Daniel 11:31; 12:11; Matthew 24:15; Mark 13:14). Some assume the Tabernacle merely regulated sin — sacrifice as transaction — and that with Messiah these structures became obsolete. The Bible lesson, rather, is ritual without the presence of God is empty. The pattern of festivals — Passover, Yom Kippur, Sukkot — points to a relationship centered on the Mediator and on deliverance, not merely on a mechanical sacrificial system. Passover inaugurates deliverance; Yom Kippur mediates restoration through the high priest; Sukkot celebrates dwelling with God. These feast-days frame a rhythm of presence and renewal rather than a formulaic checklist. Obedience over sacrifice: Lessons from Samuel and Saul The narrative of King Saul and Samuel teaches a crucial moral principle: obedience is better than sacrifice (1Samuel 15:22). Prophet Samuel's rebuke after Saul spared Amalek king Agag and the best animals under the pretext of offering them as sacrifices. One lesson from this is a sacrifice should be something that is actually yours. Devotion must be genuine and owned, not stolen or secondhand. The Hebrew term חָרָם haram and its verbal form harim denote things “devoted” — sometimes to the LORD and sometimes to destruction. Items devoted to destruction cannot be redeemed by substitution. The Jericho example shows that what is set apart by divine command resists human substitution. Aaron and the golden calf exemplify how sacred tools and artisanship meant for the tabernacle were perversely redirected. The episode shows that aesthetics and ritual can be misapplied; crafting beautiful things does not guarantee divine approval if their object is a false center. The text emphasizes accountability: you cannot cover disobedience with external offerings. Aaron's example and the later sons Nadab and Abihu offering “strange fire” (Leviticus 10) — an illustration that parents' compromises influence their offspring. Leaders and fathers should heed how their actions form the next generation. Heavens festivals: Mediation and bookends of deliverance Key festivals of the Bible are bookends in Israel's annual spiritual life. Passover and Yom Kippur present parallel roles of a mediator whose work secures deliverance and atonement. Passover's blood on the doorframe spared households from death; Yom Kippur's high priestly actions mediate atonement for the community. The festivals frame a trajectory from slavery to rest, from exile to dwelling with God. Sukkot pictures the land of rest where the Creator will set His name. This cycle invites us to see the tabernacle and temple as ongoing signposts toward God's dwelling among His people. Esther in the Persian context Esther's historical setting is Persia under Ahasuerus/Xerxes (roughly mid-5th century B.C.). Esther is thought to follow soon after the restoration work of Ezra and Nehemiah. Esther records Jewish life in the Persian court and the precarious state of Jews in exile; Ezra and Nehemiah chronicle the return and the rebuilding enterprise. While some returnees were back in the land, others remained dispersed across the Persian empire. The book of Esther is timely as Purim approaches and as it overlaps the larger narrative of restoration after exile. Rebuilding walls isn’t just for ancient cities Nehemiah's journal reveals a small, determined group rebuilding Jerusalem's walls under constant threat. The repeated detail that many rebuilt “as far as in front of his house” stresses that rebuilding was local and personal. Walls protect community boundaries and homes; they distinguish inside from outside. Rebuilding walls therefore becomes a concrete image for spiritual and communal restoration. It’s analogous to personal boundaries: Walls serve as force multipliers by enabling one person or a small group to hold off greater external pressures. Rebuilding one's family walls — restoring moral and spiritual boundaries inside the household — proves as vital as the city wall. The practical applications include discernment about what to admit into family life, intentional boundaries in relationships, and spiritual vigilance. Aliyah and the upward pull toward God's dwelling Biblical geography is focused on the directive to “go up” — עֲלִיָּה aliyah — toward the dwelling place of the Holy One. Whether in Galilee or the Negev, the spiritual aim points to Jerusalem where God's name dwells. The liturgical and physical act of ascent parallels spiritual ascent: moving toward the center where God's presence resides. Boundaries, ‘foreign’ wives & community identity The census and the question about foreign wives in Nehemiah expose tensions about identity and purity after exile. There are distinctions in Scripture between sojourners who embrace Israel's God (e.g., “Your God is my God,” Ruth 1:16) and “foreign” wives brought in via political marriages who often imported foreign deities and practices (as with Solomon, 1Kings 11:4–6). The concern during the restoration period focused on wives who introduced foreign cult practice and morally compromised the community's covenantal life, not on genuine converts. This is a warning against syncretism and about how cultural practices can redefine communal priorities. That calls for a careful balance: hospitality and inclusion for those who embrace Israel's covenant, and discernment against practices that would erode the community's spiritual center. Borders of the Promised Land: How big? Promised to whom? Biblical descriptions of Israel's borders — Genesis 15:18–21, Exodus 23:31, Deuteronomy 11:24, Joshua 1:3–4, Numbers 34:1–12, and Ezekiel 47:13–20 — vary in scope and purpose. “The river” references often point to the Euphrates River. Interpretations of these passages have varied over the centuries. Earth church fathers often allegorized these descriptions and transferred their fulfillment to the global work of Christianity. And controversy has arisen in recent months as prominent public voices have challenged the view that the establishment of the modern state of Israel in 1948 was an outgrowth of these prophecies. The borders of Genesis 15 range over a wide region, encompassing modern-day Israel, Jordan, Lebanon, Syria and (depending on interpretation of Euphrates and “river of Egypt”) parts of Egypt and Iraq. Yet the borders given for ancient Israel to occupy after the exodus in Numbers 34 resemble the outline of modern Israel. Prophetic texts like Ezekiel and Revelation expand the vision of the dwelling place beyond ancient or modern Jerusalem to a giant area and even beyond Earth’s atmosphere (Revelation 21:15-16). The foretold “third temple” (Ezekiel 40–48) and the New Jerusalem (Revelation 21–22) are grand visions of God's dwelling among humanity. Ezekiel’s temple would require major earthmoving (Zechariah 14) far beyond the footprint of Jerusalem today. The New Jerusalem pictures a realm that spans heaven and earth — a dwelling place that offers vertical connection (the 1,500-mile height would extend beyond the atmosphere, Revelation 21:15–16) and horizontal presence (the 1,500-mile length and width would span much of the Middle East, hence, dwelling in the midst of many peoples). The city imagery communicates God's intimate settlement with His people and the restoration of creation's intended order. This illustrates a common feature in Scripture, the merism. It’s the term for a pair of words like “heaven and earth” functions as a biblical figure of speech to describe totality. Is modern Israel really an act of Heaven? When critics dismiss modern Israel because of variegated human origins (atheist communist founders) or moral failures (e.g., Tel Aviv pride parades), Ezekiel 36 to correct the charge. Ezekiel 36:16–23 clarifies that God acts “not for your sake” but “for My holy name's sake” to vindicate His reputation among the nations. Ezekiel 36:24–28 promise gathering, cleansing, and a renewed heart: “I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you. I will put My Spirit within you and cause you to walk in My statutes.” (Ezekiel 36:26–27 NASB95). God's work focuses on His covenantal purposes and on restoring relationship, not on human merit. Ezekiel rebuts the modern polemic against modern Israel being prophetic because it’s not Zion-like. God's purposes transcend human failures. The LORD preserves and restores for the vindication of His name, and He can work through flawed human histories to fulfill covenant promises. This is consistent with biblical patterns where God chooses unexpected instruments — second- or late-borns (Isaac vs. Ishmael, Joseph vs. Reuben, David vs. Eliab), humble vessels, and historically diabolical Gentile “messiahs” (e.g., Cyrus in Isaiah) — to accomplish redemption. The new covenant, Messiah & Spirit Ezekiel's and Jeremiah's new covenant prophecies (Ezekiel 36:25–27; Jeremiah 31:31–34) foreshadow the fulfillment of Zion: The Messiah inaugurates the new covenant at Passover (“This is the blood of the new covenant”). The final discourse of Yeshua (Jesus) John 13–17 and Paul's teaching in Romans 8 illustrate how Messiah and Spirit cooperate to enable Torah-observant life from the inside out. The study argues that legal adherence without Spirit-led renewal produces brittle religiosity; the Spirit empowers obedience and life transformation. Practical spiritual disciplines: Filtering thoughts and guarding the heart A vivid practical principle is in Paul's exhortation to “take every thought captive” and bring it into submission to Messiah's teaching (2Corinthians 10:5). Priestly consecration imagery — ear, thumb, toe — to stress hearing (שְׁמַע shema), doing (עָשָׂה asah), and walking (הָלַךְ halach). These form a triad: listen, act, and walk. Believers need filters — discernment practices, boundaries, and spiritual disciplines — to protect their families and communities from corrosive influences. Call to rebuild and fortify We believers must be attentive to build or rebuild appropriate (not cold-heartedly exclusionary) barriers around our communities, families and interior lives. We must orient ourselves around God's presence more than ritual forms, choose obedience over merely cosmetic offerings, reestablish boundaries that protect what belongs inside and welcome the Spirit's transforming work promised in Ezekiel 36 and Jeremiah 31. Be intentional: Rebuild your walls, train your children by example, filter thoughts and actions with spiritual disciplines, and pursue aliyah of the heart — ascent toward the dwelling place of God. Trust that God, not human perfection, makes Zion. Scripture and history show that God acts through imperfect people to restore His dwelling in the midst of the nations. 1 Deuteronomy 25:17–19; 1Samuel 15:2–34; 1Peter 4:12–5:11The post From captivity to new covenant: Ezra, Nehemiah, Esther and the how of return (Exodus 33; Ezekiel 36) appeared first on Hallel Fellowship.

During the American Civil War an estimated 194,000 Union soldiers and 214,000 Confederate soldiers became prisoners of war. No prior or subsequent American conflict has seen such numbers. During the Second World War, approximately 124,000 Americans were held captive, but the chance of being captured in that conflict was roughly one in one hundred; during the Civil War it was closer to one in five. Captivity was not a marginal experience. It was central to the war.Indeed, the gigantic scale of prisoner-of-war camps was one of the conflict's most consequential innovations. Every modern war since has produced successors to Andersonville, Point Lookout, Rock Island, and Florence. Yet prisoner-of-war camps remain oddly peripheral in our narratives of the Civil War, overlooked both as institutional innovations and as formative experiences for soldiers and their families. My guest, W. Fitzhugh Brundage, argues in A Fate Worse Than Hell: American Prisoners of the Civil War that captivity reshaped military policy, political rhetoric, racial attitudes, and postwar memory. Prison camps were not aberrations; they were integral to the modernizing logic of total war.For more on the guest, show notes, sources, and related episodes, go to the Historically Thinking Substack at www.historicallythinking.orgChaptersIntroduction - 0:00Historical Treatment of POWs - 2:35Parole System and Napoleonic Wars - 4:47Scale and Logistics of Civil War Prisons - 7:42Lincoln's Dilemma: Sovereignty vs Prisoner Exchange - 10:56Andersonville: Conditions and the Deadline - 31:48Point Lookout and Union Prisons - 47:25Prison Society and Community - 57:45Black Prisoners of War - 65:33Elmira Prison and John W.

When Bella Freud—great-granddaughter of Sigmund Freud—sat down with Esther Perel on Fashion Neurosis, I knew I had to listen. What unfolds is not a conversation about trends or aesthetics, but about identity, masculinity, desire, and the psychology of being seen.In this solo reflection, I explore clothing as a kind of “second skin”—a psychological boundary between self and world. Drawing from Perel's thinking on Eros in Mating in Captivity, Valerie Steele's idea of fashion as skin ego, and even a touch of Jack Morin's erotic equation, I reflect on why what we wear is never neutral.I share a story from my therapy room about helping an autistic client build confidence through intentional style, what it's like to shop for clothes with my 16-year-old son, and why paying attention to how people craft themselves might be one of the most countercultural practices available to us right now.Fashion isn't superficial. It's relational. It's embodied. And in a world where we rarely look up from our screens, noticing what someone is wearing might be one small way of saying: I see you.

This week on the CUFI weekly, Kasim sits down with YairHorn, who spent 498 days in captivity after being taken hostage by Hamas on October 7, 2023. He shares his harrowing experience of being taken hostage and the strength that carried him through captivity. His testimony cuts through noise and propaganda, revealing the human cost of terror and the reality Israel confronts every day. Yair's courage and clarity remind us why we stand with the Jewish people and why these stories must be heard.

In his talk “Bring Every Thought Into Captivity,” Eric Tadros explores how thoughts influence our behavior and spiritual life, highlighting common cognitive distortions such as mind reading, catastrophizing, emotional reasoning, labeling, and overgeneralization. He explains how these distorted thoughts contribute to fear, anxiety, and sin, using biblical examples like the woman with the flow of blood and Elijah's despair to illustrate their impact. Eric emphasizes the importance of recognizing and challenging negative thought patterns to prevent them from controlling our lives. Drawing from scripture, he connects the spiritual battle to controlling thoughts and aligning them with Christ's obedience. He also discusses how emotions can mislead us and stresses the value of cultivating a disciplined spiritual life beyond feelings. Through practical advice and scriptural reflections, Eric calls listeners to bring every thought into captivity to foster mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being.

As we continue our series on temptation, we look at the fourth stage, today. A logismoi (Greek) is an obtrusive, invading thought that assaults our mind, that setups a temptation. There is a progressive nature to temptation in that it leads to sin and, eventually, to death. Today, on the podcast, we look at stage 4 — captivity. The captivity stage is where we keep falling over and over to the same temptation. It’s a trap that we can’t seem to get out of. We may still battle, but we lose more than we win. We might even have stretches of victory or success in staving off the temptation and we might think we are safe or okay, but then it comes back in a voracious manner. Community is key to dealing with the captivity stage and we get into that in the podcast today. From the Touchline is a short-feature podcast with Rev Brad Kenney, Founder and Executive Director of Soccer Chaplains United and Volunteer Chaplain to the Colorado Rapids of Major League Soccer.

Why does modern motherhood feel so hard — even when you're doing everything “right”?In this episode of Healthy As A Mother, we explore a powerful lens for understanding hormones, fertility, pregnancy, postpartum, and burnout: humans are animals — and modern life is not designed for our biology.From nervous system dysregulation and chronic stress to fertility struggles, postpartum depletion, and emotional overwhelm, this conversation reframes modern motherhood as a biological mismatch, not a personal failure.We cover:The “human animal in captivity” conceptWhy community is essential for mothersSunlight, sleep, movement, and hormonal healthNervous system overload, modern stress, and burnoutWhy self-care isn't indulgent — it's biological necessityThis episode is for women and mothers who feel like something about modern life, health, and motherhood just isn't working — and want a deeper, root-cause understanding.00:00 Introduction: The Human Animal02:05 Humans as Animals05:10 Animals in Captivity09:15 The Continuum Concept14:05 Biohacking vs Nature18:20 Hormones, Detox & Toxic Load22:45 Genetics & Sensitivity27:10 Evolution or De-Evolution31:30 The Loss of the Village36:20 Reciprocity & Support40:55 Parenting, School & Disconnection44:35 Sunlight, Sleep & Circadian Rhythm48:40 Men, Women & Biological Roles53:10 Food, Nutrient Depletion & Seasonality57:45 Sensory Overload & The News1:03:10 Warriors, Nurturers & Purpose1:08:40 Living Like an Animal Again1:12:30 Final Thoughts

Jessica Buchanan was a schoolteacher from Ohio who followed a calling to serve overseas. That calling led her to East Africa, meaningful humanitarian work, and eventually into one of the most terrifying experiences imaginable. Jessica shares the full story of how she was kidnapped in Somalia, held hostage in the desert for 93 days, and ultimately rescued by SEAL Team Six. She opens up about the moments leading up to her capture, the role intuition tried to play, what captivity was really like, and how she survived mentally when survival felt impossible. We also talk about the aftermath from PTSD, rebuilding identity, motherhood, faith, and what it means to “survive survival.”

Welcome to Day 2777 of Wisdom-Trek. Thank you for joining me. This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to Wisdom. Day 2777 – Wisdom Nuggets – Psalm 106:34-48 – Daily Wisdom Wisdom-Trek Podcast Script - Day 2777 Welcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps! I am Guthrie Chamberlain, and we are on Day two thousand seven hundred seventy-seven of our Trek. The Purpose of Wisdom-Trek is to create a legacy of wisdom, to seek out discernment and insights, and to boldly grow where few have chosen to grow before. The title for today's Wisdom-Trek is: The Horror of Accommodation – When the Salt Loses Its Savor. Today, we reach the solemn conclusion of our journey through Psalm One Hundred Six. We are trekking through the final section, verses thirty-four through forty-eight, in the New Living Translation. This marks not only the end of this specific psalm but also the conclusion of Book Four of the Psalter. In our previous trek, we walked through the "Cycle of Amnesia" in the wilderness. We watched a generation that had been liberated by the mighty hand of God crumble into grumbling, envy, and idolatry. We saw them trade their glorious God for a grass-eating bull at Sinai. We saw them yoke themselves to the dead spirits at Baal-Peor. It was a tragic catalog of missed opportunities and hardened hearts. But as we turn to verse thirty-four, the scene shifts. The wilderness wanderings are over. Joshua has led the people across the Jordan. The walls of Jericho have fallen. The people are now living in the Promised Land—the "pleasant land" they once despised. You might think, "Finally! They made it! Now they will surely be faithful." Tragically, the change of geography did not create a change of heart. In this final section, we witness the slow, agonizing slide from Conquest to Compromise, and finally to Captivity. We will see what happens when the people of God stop fighting the culture and start becoming the culture. We will encounter the darkest verse in Israel's history—the sacrifice of children to demons—and we will see how the land itself vomited them out. But, true to the character of Yahweh, we will also see that even in the darkest pit of exile, the ladder of Covenant Love still reaches down. So, let us brace ourselves for the hard truth of history, and the healing balm of God's mercy. The first segment is: The Failure of Assimilation: Mingling with the Darkness. Psalm One Hundred Six: verses thirty-four through thirty-nine. Israel failed to destroy the nations in the land, as the Lord had commanded them.  Instead, they mingled among the pagans and adopted their evil customs.  They worshiped their idols, which became a snare to them.  They even sacrificed their sons and their daughters to the demons.  They shed innocent blood, the blood of their sons and daughters. By sacrificing them to the idols of Canaan, they polluted the land with murder.  They defiled themselves by their evil deeds, and their love of idols was...

Send us a textWhat begins as a sincere desire to understand the Jewish roots of the Christian faith can, in some cases, drift into something far more complicated. In this video, we explore the progression many believers experience as curiosity about the Torah slowly shifts from healthy study to imposed obligation. By tracing common stages within Torahism (aka Hebrew Roots Movement, Torah-keeping, Torah-observant Christianity) we examine why this trajectory can lead to confusion, division, and a displacement of the gospel. The video also offers practical guidance for thoughtfully and graciously engaging friends or family members who have embraced Torah observance, with an emphasis on patience, discernment, and keeping Christ at the center.Read the article: From Curiosity to Captivity: The Journey into Torah-Observant ChristianityThe Biblical Roots MinistriesOur websiteOur YouTube ChannelProf. Solberg's BlogSupport our Ministry (Thank you!)Chapters00:00 Intro3:34 The 5 Stage of Torahism12:07 Addressing Torah Keepers

SYNOPSIS:In this live Q&A episode of The Brilliant Body Podcast, host Ali Mezey is joined by fan-favorite guest and Longevity Zoologist, Dr. Zoolittle (“Penny”) for a wide-ranging, eye-opening conversation on how we can radically improve the health, happiness, and lifespan of our animal companions.Together, Ali and Penny explore what it truly means to be intelligent caretakers of animals – moving beyond conventional pet care toward a rewilded, biologically informed approach rooted in functional and regenerative medicine. Penny explains why pets used to live much longer, how modern lifestyles disrupt animal biology, and what we can learn from wild animals about instinct, self-medication, nutrition, movement, and rest.The discussion dives into practical and often surprising topics, including animal instinct versus learned behavior, why dogs don't naturally overeat, how feeding patterns affect hormones and longevity, the profound impact of spaying and neutering on animal health, and the importance of species-appropriate diets. Penny also answers audience questions on indoor cats, fasting, raw versus cooked food, enrichment, and how to bring nature back into our pets' lives – even within modern homes.This episode challenges deeply ingrained assumptions about pet care and offers compassionate, science-based insights that empower animal guardians to support their companions in thriving – not just surviving – well into old age. A must-listen for anyone who loves animals and wants to honor the intelligence of their bodies as much as our own.FOR MORE ALI MEZEY:ALI - WebsiteALI - LinkTreeALI BIO: Ali Mezey is a Body Therapist, Family Constellation Work Facilitator, Sexologist and Media Maker with over 40 years of experience.

Welcome to Be Bold for Jesus!Our mission is to help you walk boldly in your faith and follow Jesus with confidence. Led by Lee and Jaclyn Arnold, we teach the Bible in a way that transforms the heart, sharpens discernment, and equips believers to live out God's truth in a confused and compromised world.In today's message:“Prophecy of the Captivity: How to Spot a False Prophet”(Jeremiah 25:1–38)In Jeremiah 25, God speaks through His faithful prophet while false voices promise peace, comfort, and prosperity without repentance. This message exposes the danger of ignoring God's Word, the certainty of His warnings, and how to recognize voices that speak from man rather than from God.Through Judah's refusal to listen—and God's use of Babylon as His instrument of discipline—we learn that false prophets minimize sin, reject correction, and promise outcomes God never guaranteed. True prophecy, on the other hand, calls people to repentance, surrender, and trust in the Lord—even when the message is hard to hear.This message reveals key truths:False prophets speak what people want to hear, not what God has saidGod's patience does not cancel His judgmentDiscipline is often God's mercy in actionGod may use unexpected instruments to accomplish His purposesIgnoring God's warnings eventually affects every area of lifeJudgment is never God's final word—restoration follows repentanceThe reminder for us today:God always warns before He disciplines. He speaks through His Word, His servants, and His Spirit—calling us to listen, respond, and return before consequences escalate.“Because you have not listened to My words… I will summon all the peoples of the north.” — Jeremiah 25:8–9“Today, if you hear His voice, do not harden your hearts.” — Hebrews 3:15Jeremiah 25 challenges us to examine the voices we trust, the warnings we dismiss, and the repentance we postpone. This is not merely a message about ancient Israel—it is a call for discernment in our own time.If God is speaking to your heart today—about a habit, a relationship, a compromise, or a direction—respond now. Don't wait until mercy becomes discipline. Jesus has already taken the cup of wrath so we can receive grace, forgiveness, and new life.Stay connected and grow with us:• Sunday Sermons – Live on Zoom & Facebook• Wednesday Bible Study – Interactive, in-depth discussions• Daily Dose of Boldness – Devotionals to strengthen your walkBe Bold for Jesus Conference 2026An unforgettable weekend to ignite your faith and equip you to live boldly for Christ.

This episode explores the theme of "being the head and not the tail," drawing from Deuteronomy 28 to encourage listeners to shift from a mindset of bondage and subservience to one of leadership and obedience to God. Samuel emphasizes that blessings follow faithful submission and obedience, contrasting the generational effects of living in freedom versus captivity. Practical examples illustrate how spiritual and financial freedom can be cultivated over time, impacting future generations. The episode closes with a call to embrace obedience, patience, and a lifestyle distinct from worldly patterns, trusting that God equips and blesses those who follow His ways.

After Russian-Israeli academic Elizabeth Tsurkov was freed from captivity in Iraq in September following two and a half years of imprisonment and torture, she returned to a very different Israel, she said in a wide-ranging interview on the Haaretz Podcast. Israelis “have changed in very fundamental ways,” she said. “After October 7, the circle of people towards whom Israelis feel compassion shrunk very significantly.” As she returns to public life as a researcher and commentator on Middle East affairs, while undergoing physical rehabilitation from injuries she suffered as the prisoner of Kata’ib Hezbollah, she has already been attacked by the Israeli right for social media posts in support of human rights and critical of Israel’s policies in Gaza. Despite being held in captivity, she said, her political views “have not substantially changed: I still see Arabs as human beings, which is an unpopular opinion, it seems.” In her conversation with host Allison Kaplan Sommer, Tsurkov discusses the politics of Iraq – the country where she was kidnapped and held – following their recent elections, calling it a “failed oil state” driven by the behavior of Iranian-backed militias with “no clear path for reform and change.” She also analyzes the impact of the new regime in Syria, praising the policies of U.S. President Donald Trump towards the year-old government. She also credits the president with her release. “Trump is the reason I'm free. This is not an interpretation, this is a fact. I know exactly how I came to be released: It was because of threats that were made on his behalf.” Read more: Right-wing Pundit Amit Segal: Tsurkov 'Should Do Some Soul-searching About the Price Her Stupid Adventures Cost Israel' 'Strung Up and Tortured': Elizabeth Tsurkov Recounts Over Two Years of Captivity in Iraq 'Things Weren't Easy': After Iraq Captivity, Elizabeth Tsurkov Tells Netanyahu She Was Tortured What Is Kata'ib Hezbollah?

A French woman who was held captive by a couple for five years has finally escaped, shocking investigators with the details of her confinement.
