Podcasts about Chosen

A careful study of God's covenants shows us that God's chosen people are not limited to one singular group of people called “Jews.”  The history of God's chosen people shows us that no one has ever kept His covenant.  The only way to keep His covenant is to be covered by the blood of the New Covenant in Christ.

Think of an answer to prayer you never received, a time when you trusted God to do something and He didn't. A situation where you were disappointed by God.

Today's Topics: 1) Gospel - Matthew 8:18-22 - When Jesus saw a crowd around Him, He gave orders to cross to the other shore. A scribe approached and said to Him, “Teacher, I will follow You wherever You go.” Jesus answered him, “Foxes have dens and birds of the sky have nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to rest His Head.” Another of his disciples said to Him, “Lord, let me go first and bury my father.” But Jesus answered him, “Follow Me, and let the dead bury their dead.” Memorial of the First Holy Martyrs of the Holy Roman Church First Holy Martyrs, pray for us!

In this powerful episode, Ruslan sits down with actor Nick Alvarez—best known for his role in The Chosen—to unpack his incredible journey through Hollywood, faith, and family legacy. From being cast in a Pampers commercial as a toddler to almost walking away from acting for soccer, Nick opens up about the real grind of being a working actor, including countless auditions, rejection, and the emotional toll of trying to "make it."He shares how growing up in a faith-influenced household with a pastor grandfather laid the foundation for his eventual spiritual awakening. But it wasn't until the industry pressures and the isolation of COVID hit that he found a deep, personal faith in Jesus.The conversation also dives into the tension between craft and clout in today's acting world—how influencers are landing roles without traditional training, and what it means to stay rooted in purpose when the industry often rewards popularity over skill.This is a raw and inspiring conversation about calling, perseverance, and how God's timing always wins out in the end.

Jesus said, “Many are called but few are chosen.” For many Christians, these words of Jesus should bring a pause and consider moment. What was Jesus saying here? If we believe “God is love,” and we believe Jesus came as our Savior, do we also believe that everyone outside of Christianity, outside of this call, is lost and gone forever? Is this what Jesus was saying? If so, then how does that square with God being love? Is Jesus saying God is love, but only for the few whom He chooses, and the rest of His human creation are essentially garbage? Isn't that a massive contradiction? If we are willing to examine this statement by Jesus in the light of Scripture, we will find a completely different answer. What we will find is a logic and a harmony founded upon God's love AND His justice. This statement of Jesus appears at the end of the Parable of the Wedding Feast. To properly understand its meaning, we need to connect it with God's character of love and justice. Reviewing the Abrahamic Covenant is a good place to start. Initially, Israel was called to be the sole source of the “stars of heaven”—a spiritual seed that would bless the world. However, national rejection of Jesus meant they forfeited this opportunity. Still, they weren't permanently cast off; they remain essential to God's plan as the “sand of the seashore,” the natural seed who will bless the world on earth. The parable illustrates God's persistent calling to those who could become true disciples of Jesus: First invitation: Offered through Jesus' ministry to Israel. Second: Extended at Pentecost by the apostles. Third: Went out to the Gentiles, beginning with Cornelius. This teaches us that discipleship is not based on heritage but on being drawn by God. The “many” called spans time, culture and background, but the chosen are those who respond fully to the invitation. This call involves great responsibility. Discipleship requires self-denial, daily sacrifice, transformation and leaving behind worldly attachments. Like wedding guests required to wear the provided garment, those called must be “clothed” in Christ's righteousness. Failing to do so leads to exclusion—not eternal torment, but the sorrow of lost opportunity. Those who are chosen become part of a "royal priesthood" and "holy nation" (1 Peter 2:9), called to reflect God's character and ultimately bless all mankind. Importantly, the rest of humanity is not abandoned. Many scriptures point to a future restoration when all people will have opportunity for salvation. The current calling is simply the first phase of a broader redemptive plan that will ultimately fulfill God's promise to bless all the families of the earth.

The famous cry “come Lord Jesus,” provides multiplecommands directed at Jesus and directed at those who are now hearing, now thirsting, and now willing. This cry is an invitation for Jesus to come and invade our now, and do what is necessary in our now, to secure those who are Called and Chosen and Faithful such that they become identified as the bride of Christ. Jesus says that He chooses to now come quickly, and He in turn then commands the one who is now thirsting and now willing to come to Him and He will come to them.Download Transcript

Brian and Louise Hogan, missionaries and church planters in Mongolia, responded to God's call with obedience. They arrived in the city of Erdenet in the early 1990s; there were no churches in the city. After the conversion of 14 teenage girls, they witnessed the birth and growth of a church community. However, as Scripture reminds us, forward motion in God's kingdom often awakens spiritual resistance. As Brian noted, "Throughout history, whenever the Kingdom has advanced, someone has had to pay a terrible price." For the Hogans, that terrible price was the sudden death of their newborn son, who passed away on Christmas Eve due to sudden infant death syndrome. In the depths of grief and isolation, Brian and Louise felt God's closeness. They were aware that Christians around the world were praying for them. Louise found strength through a question inspired by Elisabeth Elliot: “Was I called? Was I chosen? And did I obey?” She says it should not matter what God does with our obedience; we are simply called to obey. Despite their loss, the Hogans chose to remain in Mongolia, grieving alongside their Mongolian Christian family. Their suffering became a powerful testimony of hope and resurrection in a culture unfamiliar with such concepts. In their loss, they were able to share unshakable Christian hope: “We are going to see our son again.” Brian is the author of There's a Sheep in my Bathtub and An A to Z of Near-Death Adventures. Listen also as VOM Radio host Todd Nettleton shares information about how you can send VOM Action Packs to persecuted Christians around the world.

Tabula Rasa Mystery School - Day 12: The EntryIn this Movie Session, David explores the life of Jesus, particularly during the final days of his ministry, as depicted in the series “The Chosen.” It emphasizes Jesus' singular focus on spiritual matters, rather than earthly concerns.David's commentary delves into Jesus´ teachings on forgiveness and the Kingdom of Heaven, which he describes as both present and accessible. The discussion draws insights from the Last Supper and Jesus' entry into Jerusalem, highlighting the tension between his spiritual message and the people's expectations, who sought a political savior.It also explores the themes of sacrifice, the misunderstandings surrounding Jesus' identity, and the universal call to remember our true nature beyond ego-driven fears. The session concludes by reflecting on the relevance of Jesus' teachings today, as they call for a shift in perception towards love and forgiveness.For more information about David Hoffmeister and Living Miracles events, visit https://circle.livingmiraclescenter.org/events.Recorded live on June 16, 2025, at Casa de Milagros, Chapala, Mexico.

In this episode, I talk with Will Parker Anderson—writer, editor, and founder of The Writer's Circle—about the tension we all feel between productivity and presence, business and ministry, hustle and holiness. Will brings clarity and honesty to the internal battle many creatives face: how do we create from a place of joy, not just ambition? How do we resist comparison, reclaim play, and keep our identity grounded—not in our platform—but in the God who delights in us? We dig into the realities of Christian publishing, the spiritual disciplines that sustain us, and the hidden dangers of remote work and quiet isolation. Whether you're a writer, an entrepreneur, or someone simply trying to live faithfully in a noisy world, this conversation is full of wisdom, vulnerability, and practical encouragement for staying rooted in what matters most.Will Parker Anderson is a senior editor at WaterBrook and Multnomah, an imprint of Penguin Random House—the world's largest publisher.

A passionate teacher, he has taught biblical studies and theology at both the high school and college levels.

Sunrise in Santa Fe on my recent journeyGood Morning Dear Ones,There certainly is a lot to pray about right now. Today's offering shares:A bit of my spiritual ancestral rootsAn invitation to pray standing, pray and sway with me, in community My Grandmother's hands knitting the world as it unravelsThe history of Mother Mary being moved out to th gardenExploring your name for MaThe Cult of DeathA story of when Sue, our lineage ancestor went to see Amma and more…With love,Shiloh Sophia Lots of upcoming events are happening - come see at www.musea.org“This bio-power was without question an indispensable element in the development of capitalism; the latter would not have been possible without the controlled insertion of bodies into the machinery of production and the adjustment of the phenomena of population to economic processes. But this was not all it required; it also needed the growth of both these factors, their reinforcement as well as their availability and docility; it had to have methods of power capable of optimizing forces, aptitudes, and life in general without at the same time making them more difficult to govern.” Michel FoucaultUnedited TranscriptWe Pray StandingIn the sanctuary of my Ancestors, we pray standing. It's a beautiful thing to see. To look around and see people in their colorful clothing, many of them barefoot. Scarves, babies, little ones, families, nuns. Standing and moving. Moving about the sanctuary. I'm the only one rocking back and forth as I stand. But still, I pray standing. My Ancestors on my father's(Gregory Davis) side are from the Ukraine, so my great grandfather was Ukrainian Orthodox. In the center of the sanctuary is not a cross of death. That came much later when Catholicism split off from Orthodoxy. They moved the cross from the left, which was one of the stations of the story, and put it in the middle and moved the mother and her child on their throne to the left, if you're facing the altar. And then eventually... Many of the churches of the West took Mary outside into the garden and most of them took the baby out of her arms. (A change from life in the center to death in the center)So she went from the center, ruling, to the side watching death of her child and then all the way out to the garden, and then no baby in her arms. Making her pure and virgin, and almost untouchable to women. This evolution of image happens over thousands of years. The French philosopher Michel Foucault talks about this idea of how the image of the feminine and of women changes intentionally. We don't even notice that she's moved from her place in the center. Life in the center. Not death in the center. We've made a cult of death. Not of resurrection. Not of birth. Not of rebirth. But of death itself. Now, I'm not saying that death doesn't come and is a part of our natural cycle of life. But the way that we've been doing it over the past 8,000 years is a colonization, not just of lands and cultures, but of the minds and hearts of the people who have centered ourselves in death.So I pray standing. Because it keeps me awake. It keeps me aware. It keeps me listening as if the soles of my feet have ears. I pray with eyes open, looking around me. Now that I am not in the sanctuary of my ancestors in the way that I once was. I am now facing a stand of trees that have become my cathedral and the birds my choir. While I have chosen not to speak out against the church of my ancestors because they are my blood and I am their blood. Still, I must speak to you from the place where I am, where life, a mother and child, sits at the center of my awareness. In our community, we just call her Ma, ancient root mother tongue.Ma. So today, as I pray standing, swaying, I call on the name of Ma. Ma. Ma, ever-emergent Ma. Let us stand with you in prayer right now. Beings gathered throughout the world right in this moment. praying, standing.And if you are listening, would you pray standing with me? Would you stop your multitasking and all the things that seem more important and just come with me now? Will you imagine with me hundreds, thousands, millions of people praying, standing, swaying and chanting the name Ma. Ma. ma. mama. Long, long ago in a different lineage, our beautiful neighbor Alice Walker brought Sue Hoya Sellers, our art matriarch, to see Amma, the hugging saint, who herself had to break ranks with her tradition in order to do what she does. And certainly that has turned out well. ( Speaking to being a female guru in a culture that has tried hard to only have men, and other allegations)I'm thinking of her, Amma, now because very recently a Native American composer who has lit up my heart, wanted so badly to give me something one day, and she gave me roses from Amma and I sang to her this chant… which I will sing to you now as we pray standing. Just through coming into presence, prayer coming into presence, even if you don't know the names to call or the songs to sing or what to pray about or how to do it just pray with me standing and sway. Sue Hoya Sellers, when she got her hug from Amma, Amma asked her, Who do you call on? What is the name of your goddess, your mother?What a beautiful thing to say, to not insist on a “way”, but say, to whom do you pray? And Sue Hoya Sellers surprised herself by saying the name of Mary. Mary. Mary. Sue was devoted to the goddess and in our time together in the gallery, which was many years and teaching. From 2000 to 2014, so around, 14 years, she came into the place called Sophia, but we held a common ground of Mary, mother of many goddesses along the timeline of goddesses that have been appearing for 40,000 years. So she surprised herself by saying, Mary, indeed, surprised us all. And so Amma gave her this chant, which as we stand praying, I offer to you.Om Shri Mary Ma Om Shri Mary Ma Om Shri Mary Ma Om Shri Mary Ma Om Shri Mary Ma Om Shri Mary Ma. Om. Join me if you choose. Om Shri Mary Ma. Om Shri Mary Ma. Om Shri Mary Ma. Om.("Om Shri" is a combination of two powerful words in Hinduism. "Om" (ॐ) is a sacred syllable representing the universe and ultimate reality, while "Shri" (श्री) is a term of respect, often used as a prefix to deities, revered individuals, or to invoke auspiciousness and prosperity. Together, "Om Shri" can be interpreted as a salutation or invocation to the divine, often used to invite blessings and positive energy) Google Ai AnswerStanding in the place of peace. Standing in the place of our Mother. Singing with you and to you. Tears come to my eyes. My heart slows down from its worried rhythm. My swaying becomes natural to my body. And I enter the sanctuary of community. Because that is what you are. We stand in the quantum commons together.In the space between spaces. Calling on the names we call on. In whatever way that we do. Looking at the trees that you look at. Standing on the good ground where you are. Looking out to the future from the now. Mother of Life, we, your children, are in need of your love.We, your children, do not know the way forward. We feel concerned for the great unfolding. As quickly as we knit it together, our loops are untied. But knit and loop we must. I see my Grandmother's hands crocheting (Eden). I see my grandmother's hands knitting, crocheting a holder for a plant, a ceramic pot that my Aunt (Janet)made.I see my grandmother knitting my pink blanket. She said she hated pink, so she must love me a lot, as she made my pink blanket. I see my Grandmother's hands now in the ancestral world, weaving as it were, trying to tie things back together with beauty as quickly as they become undone.So weave and knit and sew and bake and write and paint and sing. We must. We must. Call upon the names of your sacred knowing. And if you do not know, just stand in the presence of wonder. The poet Rumi says, If you can't pray a real prayer, pray a dry-mouthed prayer, because God accepts counterfeit money as though it were real. Which makes me think of my sister Shannon. who is in need of my prayer at this time. And she never wanted to pray until I told her that. And she said: that, that I can do. And so we prayed. This is a time for prayer shawls.This is a time for eyes open. But this is also a time for gathering yourself into yourself, into the spaces that you consider sanctuary. Sanctuary. Sanctuary. Chosen places to gather. For those of you of many different traditions where you honor Ma, or perhaps you don't, I do not propose the idea of Mary or my tradition. I simply share with you where I'm standing and I'd love to hear where you're standing too. Because in order for us to stand together, it isn't that we isolate what we believe. So that the other people are not offended. No. Our mother Caron said that's not really a community.Mama Cloud said that real community is where I can call upon the names that I call upon. And you can call upon the names that you call upon. And that we can stand in it together without needing to defend or compete. And our many voices raise up in prayer.Because whoever Creator really is when all this comes to completion…any true heart, that calls the name, the energy, the space, the place…Will be heard as something true. It's our hearts that matter right now. So stand with me now. Centering yourself. Swaying and praying, looking out at the rising sun. Breathing, becoming, belonging.I'm encouraging you to pray with me standing for 15 minutes a day. Will you? Just try it. See what happens. It can only be something good. Thank you for this time with me, Circle, Council of Wise Ones. You are loved.Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen.Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. given an anyhow praise. In the Black church where I grew up, interwoven with the rest of my practices, we would raise up our hands and we would say, Hallelujah anyhow. It's an anyhow praise. Let's do it now. Hallelujah anyhow. Yes, yes. Hallelujah anyhow. Here we are. Hallelujah anyhow.Let us pray and sway this day.Curate Shiloh Sophia Me one year ago yesterday at the Pyramid of the sun in Mexico.

Pastor Micah Stephens delivers a dynamic message from Acts 9, exploring the transformative power of the Holy Spirit through Saul's dramatic conversion to Paul. From a zealous persecutor of Christians, Saul becomes a chosen vessel for Christ, illustrating God's ability to redeem even the worst enemies. Pastor Micah contrasts Saul's murderous intent with his radical obedience after encountering Jesus, emphasizing that God's grace turns Satan's plans against him. Drawing from personal anecdotes, like his VBS teaching and family lake trip, he encourages believers to embrace their role as vessels for God's purpose, trusting in His transformative power despite seeming impossibilities. Pastor Micah calls for obedience, urging the church to reject fear and persecution, knowing Christ bears their burdens and uses trials for His glory.Verse References: Acts 9 verses 1–22, Acts 8 verses 1–3, Acts 5 verses 34–39, 1 Corinthians 2 verses 7–8, Hebrews 11 verse 8, 2 Corinthians 5 verse 17, 1 Timothy 1 verses 15–16, 2 Timothy 2 verses 20–21, Genesis 50 verse 20, Acts 9 verse 31, Acts 26 verse 14, Judges 14 verse 4Make sure you subscribe to this channel and follow us on all our platforms to always stay up to date with our latest content!And you can always head over to our website for any general information!https://godspeak.comPrayer/NeedsIf you have any needs, or have a willingness to be used to meet various need in the body, please email info@godspeak.com.

In today's raw and vulnerable episode, T. Louise opens up like never before about the mental battle she's been facing behind the mic. From questioning her purpose to feeling like a fraud, this episode is a transparent look into what it's like to carry an assignment from God while wrestling with self-doubt, burnout, and identity.After completing a ministry fast, T. Louise found herself face-to-face with the weight of her calling—and the resistance that's tried to silence her.

Jase and Al face their first Father's Day on earth without Phil, but instead of despair, they're met with surprising moments of comfort, joy, and eternal perspective. Jase reflects on two powerful experiences from the weekend—a preschool breakfast with a boy he loves like a son and a moving celebration of life at a baseball game for kids with special needs. The guys dive into John 9 and unpack why Jesus called himself the “Son of Man” more than anything else, revealing the Kingdom's promise of healing, restoration, and hope—even in the shadow of loss.

Motivational speakers started really gaining popularity in the 70s and 80s, the golden age of “self-help.” And in recent years, they've been even more in-demand, especially in the business world. You can't swing a dead cat these days without hitting some self-proclaimed entrepreneurial guru who claims to have the formula for success and would be happy to share it with you, if you sign up for their seminar for the low-low price of thousands of dollars. Or buy their TikTok course. But you don't have to get certified or trained to be a motivational speaker, and their industry is almost totally unregulated—meaning, anybody with a megawatt smile and a catchphrase can do it. And according to a Harvard study, most of these guys focus more on entertaining you than teaching you the way to win. It all makes you wonder—are the ones who claim to have all the answers really so enlightened? Well, today we're gonna tell you about two who most definitely weren't.Join Katie and Whitney, plus the hosts of Last Podcast on the Left, Sinisterhood, and Scared to Death, on the very first CRIMEWAVE true crime cruise!

Jase pushes back on the idea that we're born sinful and explains why Jesus taking on flesh changes everything about how we see ourselves. The guys explore what the Bible really says about original sin, suffering, and why your worst moments don't mean you were doomed from birth. Plus, Missy wrangles Shane & Shane in full choir-teacher mode, and Jase confesses to hitting a few sour notes while singing bass in a four-part harmony.

Miss Kay is bouncing back in a big way after Phil's passing, and Jase gets real about what grief and healing after 60 years of marriage looks like. The guys also explore the mistaken belief that suffering is always a sign of sin or a failure of faith, digging into the story of the blind man in John 9 to show that every life, even ones full of suffering, has a God-given purpose. Plus, Jase becomes an unlikely mentor to a group of frog-shy kids, and ends up kissing a bullfrog on the lips in the name of bravery.

Jase and Zach compare notes on growing up Robertson, where catching heat is just part of the family culture, from car wrecks and garbage to water leaks. Jase recounts the major car accident that nearly ended his life—and Phil showed up with the most typically Phil “comfort” imaginable. The guys dive deep into Jesus' bold claim in John 8, where he tells his enemies that Abraham saw his day—and rejoiced in it. Could Jesus have shown his face 2,000 years before he was born? Jase, Al, and Zach follow the thread from Genesis to John, tracing how God's glory, presence, and love have always been shared. In this episode: John 5, verse 19; John 7, verse 16; John 8, verse 19; John 8, verses 28-29; John 10, verses 29-30; John 17, verses 20-21; Genesis 22 “Unashamed” Episode 1110 is sponsored by: https://helixsleep.com/unashamed — Get 27% Off Sitewide!

Al reads one brutal comment he wishes he hadn't, and Jase launches into an investigation to find out if it's true. Jase ponders how Si's buddies can buy the rumor of Si's death while he's sitting at the table with them, and he and Missy prepare for their famously chaotic July 4th celebration. Al's sermon on Joshua 3 uncovers how God doesn't just close the distance between us—he erases it entirely. The guys trace the through-line from Genesis 15 to John 8 to show how God transforms our identity, keeps his promises, and brings us into new life through Jesus.
