They discuss transitioning from a lecture-based church experience to a “laboratory” environment where members act as a council to solve problems and apply doctrines learned at home. Key Insights The Flipped Classroom Model: In a traditional setting, teachers lecture and students do “homework” alone; in a flipped model, students learn the material at home and use class time to work through practical applications with the teacher's help. Defining Scriptural Understanding: Citing Elder Bednar, Kevin notes that scriptural “understanding” is not merely mental comprehension, but occurs when the heart confirms what the mind has learned. The “Preparer” as the Primary Learner: The person who prepares a talk or lesson historically learns the most. The goal of a flipped church is to elevate every member to the status of a “preparer” before they arrive at Sunday meetings. Accountability Through System Changes: To motivate home study, Kevin suggests “blowing up” the traditional lecture system. If members know they will be required to participate in a solution-based council rather than listen to a lecture, they are more likely to engage with the materials at home. Utilizing Existing Tools: Julie highlights that the Come, Follow Me manuals and Gospel Library app already provide the necessary “lab” prompts—such as writing a eulogy for Joseph Smith—but these are often ignored in favor of passive reading. Leadership Applications Transitioning from Teacher to Moderator: Leaders can “release” traditional teachers and instead call “discussion heads” or moderators. This shifts the burden of learning onto the quorum or class members and prevents “spiritual engines” from turning off during a lecture. Implementing Solution-Based Councils: Instead of sharing “happy thoughts,” leaders should present specific ward or family conundrums—such as helping elderly members attend the temple—and ask the council to generate actionable solutions. Closing the Feedback Loop: When a council generates a solution, leaders must take those ideas to the Ward Council or Bishopric and report back to the members. This demonstrates that their participation has a direct impact on the ward’s operation. 00:04:22 – Introduction to Flipped School Concept 00:06:25 – New Year’s Resolutions and Teaching Goals 00:07:07 – Understanding Flipped School Model 00:09:05 – Home-Centered, Church-Supported Learning 00:10:24 – The Role of Preparation in Learning 00:12:01 – The Importance of Family Engagement 00:13:05 – Elder Oaks on Family Togetherness 00:17:02 – The Challenge of Utilizing Extra Time 00:19:04 – Elder Bednar on Understanding and Revelation 00:21:44 – The Need for Personal Preparation 00:24:51 – Tools for Effective Gospel Study 00:28:32 – Practical Application of Come Follow Me 00:30:32 – The Role of Motivation in Learning 00:32:08 – Innovative Elders Quorum Model 00:36:05 – Benefits of Council-Based Learning 00:40:34 – Youth Engagement in Problem Solving 00:43:00 – The Importance of Practice in Councils 00:46:34 – Reframing Youth Teaching Opportunities The award-winning Leading Saints Podcast is one of the top independent Latter-day Saints podcasts as part of nonprofit Leading Saints’ mission to help Latter-day Saints be better prepared to lead.

The sermon identifies the church's greatest need as a revival rooted in authentic, passionate prayer, lamenting the widespread abandonment of prayer meetings and the resulting spiritual complacency. Centered on Jeremiah 2:13, it argues that the church has forsaken God—the fountain of living waters—for empty, broken cisterns of human effort, entertainment, and superficial religion. The preacher calls for a return to biblical holiness, emphasizing that true revival begins with personal and corporate repentance, a deep knowledge of God, and a hunger for His presence, exemplified by the lives of intercessors like Hannah and the martyrs of history. He warns against reducing faith to emotionalism or ritual, urging pastors and believers to prioritize prayer, biblical fidelity, and the transformative power of the Holy Spirit over institutional success, while affirming that revival is not a human strategy but a divine movement that demands total surrender and a willingness to be counted as foolish by the world. The ultimate goal is not merely numerical growth or cultural influence, but the sanctification of the church as a pure bride ready for Christ's return.

In this episode of the CCPT Game Changers series, I take a close look at a group of phrases I hear frequently in play sessions, such as "You wanted me to know…", "You wanted to tell me…", or "You wanted to show me…". While these statements may seem harmless, I explain how they subtly shift the focus away from the child and toward the therapist, which undermines true child-centeredness. Even small language choices matter when our goal is for the child to feel fully seen, heard, and understood. I break down why simply tracking behavior, reflecting content, and reflecting feelings—without inserting ourselves into the response—keeps the child at the center of the relationship. This episode is about refining awareness, not calling out mistakes. With a few intentional language adjustments, we can strengthen attunement, preserve the therapeutic relationship, and more clearly communicate the core CCPT message: the child is the focus, the child is in charge, and the process can be trusted.

Kingdom-Centered Prayer | Chris McGarvey

The poetry of Psalm 147 captures the significance & joy accompanying the rebuilding of the temple and return of exiles under Ezra & Nehemiah to Jerusalem. When the people rose to worship for a quarter of the day under the direction of the Levites, it's easy to imagine this Psalm in their song list. Verses 2, 12, 19 contain references to Jerusalem or Zion. These key verses are a call to worship specifically directed to the people of God. The author will go on to support his call to worship & claim that it is fitting with the rest of his song. The occasion of temple rebuilding is worthy of praise in God's particular grace. In addition, the seasons declare the nature & glory of God. Verses 7-9 associate His care and kindness with the fruitfulness of the growing season while verses 15-18 feature His awesome power to intervene in Judgment demonstrated by harsh winter conditions.

In week two of our Upside Down Glory series, Pastor Bob Erbig walks through Mark 2:1–12 to show how faith becomes advocacy when it refuses to accept barriers that keep people from Jesus. Centered on the story of the paralytic whose friends literally break through a roof to bring him into Christ's presence, this message confronts a culture that quietly assigns value based on ability, productivity, and “quality of life.” From modern genetic counseling pressures to healthcare systems that ration care, the same question echoes through the centuries: who decides which lives are worthy of access, dignity, and belonging? Jesus answers that question decisively—by forgiving, healing, and publicly defending a man the world would overlook. This sermon challenges the church to recognize disability ministry as a shared responsibility, calling believers to notice barriers, carry burdens together, and actively advocate for those who are often excluded—before birth and throughout life.Faith that truly believes Jesus is worth reaching will do whatever it takes to take the roof off and bring others to Him.

In this episode, Jon tackles one of the most anxiety-provoking parenting topics: kids and secrets—and why secrecy can feel so loaded for both children and parents. Centered on the idea that the most powerful word in a child's world isn't rule or consequence, but promise, he explains how secrecy hooks into loyalty, safety, and attachment long before kids have the brain development to navigate those tensions.Parents will walk away with clarity on the difference between privacy, surprises, and secrets, insight into why “just tell me” often backfires, and a calmer, more protective framework for becoming the kind of adult their child wants to tell when something really matters.Send us a textSupport the showLinks to help you and me: To support the Podcast, Subscribe on Substack Get Jon's Top Five Emotional Regulation Games Get Jon's Book Punishment-Free Parenting Preorder Jon's Children's Book Set My Feelings Free Follow Whole Parent on Instagram, Tiktok, Facebook, Youtube

The sermon presents a powerful reflection on generational faith, using the metaphor of three spiritual chairs to illustrate the trajectory from committed faith in one generation to lukewarm compromise in the next and eventual spiritual ignorance in the following. Centered on Joshua 24 and Judges 2, it contrasts the first chair—marked by personal, unwavering devotion to God—with the second chair, characterized by cultural Christianity, outward religiosity, and inward compromise, which fails to pass on genuine spiritual conviction. The third chair represents spiritual ignorance and unbelief, not due to lack of exposure, but because the second generation failed to live out the transformative works of God they inherited. The preacher emphasizes that true faith is not inherited but must be personally embraced, warning that lukewarmness—neither hot nor cold—is abhorrent to Christ, who calls the second chair to repentance, zealous renewal, and intimate communion. The message culminates in a call to radical commitment, urging believers to repent, kneel in humility, and move from mere religious performance to a life of daily, Spirit-led devotion.

As a musician and amateur athlete, I've experienced those rare moments when everything clicks. The hands move. The body knows. Time fades away.But the real question is this: Can we access that same clarity and presence when life gets loud?In this episode of the Grow Yourself Podcast, I sit down with Christy Whitman, New York Times bestselling author of The Flow Factor, to talk about how to stay centered when pressure, stress, and emotional triggers show up.This isn't about chasing peak moments. It's about learning how to return to center and choose how you show up in everyday life.If you've ever felt hijacked by your reactions and wished for a way back to clarity, this conversation is for you.

This sermon, drawn from Psalm 55, explores the profound reality of personal suffering and the divine response of casting one's burdens upon God. Centered on David's anguish over betrayal by his trusted friend Ahithophel during Absalom's rebellion, the message highlights how trials become burdens through their personal, painful, and perilous nature—weighing heavily on the soul and threatening spiritual stability. The core exhortation, 'Cast thy burden upon the Lord,' is not a promise of escape from suffering but a call to entrust one's anxieties to God through persistent prayer, trusting in His sustaining grace rather than psychological self-help. The sermon emphasizes that God's care is grounded in His covenantal faithfulness, His provision through His Word, and the unshakable security of the believer's justification and adoption in Christ, ensuring that the righteous will never be moved. Ultimately, the passage offers a gospel-centered confidence: though burdens remain, God sustains, nourishes, and preserves His people, making His care a living reality in the midst of life's deepest trials.

Pastor Kyle introduces the 2026 vision for Two Cities Church: Centered on God's Word, Sent into God's world. Grounded in Romans 1:1–6, this message shows how vision begins with God and His Word, centers on the gospel of Jesus Christ, and leads to faith that becomes obedience. Pastor Kyle also unpacks why Romans is a uniquely formative book for the church, and why being “sent” starts with everyday faithfulness—living with purpose in your relationships, your neighborhood, and the nations. This sermon calls the church to be formed before being sent—anchored in Scripture, empowered by grace, and moved to respond through worship, prayer, and mission for the sake of Jesus' name.

For The King - Week 1 - Centered Up by The Summit Church

We're so glad you are here! Thanks for checking out Sunday's message!-- SUNDAY'S NOTES --Jesus is certainly the center of it all, but the question remains: are we living lives truly centered on Him?Oh, the depth of the riches and the wisdom and the knowledge of God! How unsearchable his judgments and untraceable his ways! For who has known the mind of the Lord? Or who has been his counselor? And who has ever given to God, that he should be repaid? For from him and through him and to him are all things. To him be the glory forever. Amen. Romans 11:33-35 CSB The question isn't whether something is at the center of your life, but rather what or who that something is?For through him God created everything in the heavenly realms and on earth. He made the things we can see and the things we can't see, such as thrones, kingdoms, rulers, and authorities in the unseen world. Everything was created through him and for him. He existed before anything else, and he holds all creation together. Colossians 1:16-17 NLTIn geometry, the center point is the fixed reference from which distance and balance are measured.Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever. Hebrews 13:8 NLTWe often unnecessarily wobble our way through life.Ahab summoned all the people of Israel and the prophets to Mount Carmel. Then Elijah stood in front of them and said, “How much longer will you waver, hobbling between two opinions? If the LORD is God, follow him! But if Baal is God, then follow him!” But the people were completely silent. I Kings 18:20-21 NLTIn a world cursed by the uncertainty of fallen humanity, Jesus at the center offers peace and stabilityTo be clear, there is a serious element of surrender involved in being centered on Jesus.I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. Galatians 2:20 ESVMy old identity built on ego, pride, sin and selfishness has been put to death. Surrendering my life to Christ isn't self-destruction, it's Christ-centered transformation. When I'm centered on Jesus, my values, motives, strength, and direction come from Jesus. If any of you wants to be my follower, you must give up your own way, take up your cross daily, and follow me. If you try to hang on to your life, you will lose it. But if you give up your life for my sake, you will save it. Luke 9:23-24 NLTPoem - Christ The Center BeI think the fall knocked the world off it's axisCausing a wobble in humanity's walkAnd for Geometry's truth become praxisComing right will take more than talkPresently, beneath a cloud of doubt and fright,Mortal thoughts in a fog of confusion and chaos roam,While a gravitational force with prophetic mightDraws wandering souls who've strayed far from home.And just like the planets, that obey a pull they cannot see,So to hearts find peace and stability, when Christ the center be.-------------------------------------------------Download the 828 Church app!To view our latest e-newsletter, the Midweek Momentum, and subscribe to our weekly updates, go here! https://linktr.ee/828church

This episode of the Italian American Podcast offers a rich and intimate look at the enduring legacy of women religious through a conversation with Sister Helen Sanchez, with hosts Patrick O'Boyle and Marianna Gato. Centered on the Religious Teachers Filippini—an Italian-founded order devoted to the education of girls and women—the episode blends personal vocation, immigrant history, and Catholic education into a single, compelling narrative. Sister Helen recounts her path to religious life as a Puerto Rican woman entering an Italian order, and her years teaching in Italian-American parishes across New Jersey, Ohio, and beyond. The discussion explores how ethnic religious communities shaped Catholic schooling—preserving language, music, and devotion while adapting to new immigrant populations. These institutions emerge not merely as schools, but as cultural anchors for successive generations. The conversation also honors the often-unseen heroism of the Filippini Sisters, from their educational mission to their wartime courage, including efforts to shelter Jews during World War II and the scholarly legacy documenting that work. Personal stories of sisterhood, aging communities, and vocational discernment are woven together with festive traditions, underscoring how faith, culture, and memory endure. Warm, thoughtful, and deeply human, this episode is a tribute to women religious and their quiet but lasting imprint on the Italian American story.   HOSTS: Patrick O'Boyle Marianna Gatto   SPECIAL GUEST: Sister Helen Sanchez   PRODUCED BY: Nicholas Calvello-Macchia
