When astronauts used to orbit the moon, there was a period of about 45 minutes when they were on the back side of the moon and couldn’t receive any signals from NASA’s Mission Control.

What if the virtue we've been taught to prize above all others—empathy—has become a weapon that's destroying our families, churches, and society? In this thought-provoking episode of Refining Rhetoric, host Robert Bortins sits down with Dr. Joe Rigney, author of the controversial new book "The Sin of Empathy: Compassion and Its Counterfeits." Dr. Rigney, who serves as Fellow of Theology at New St. Andrews College and is a pastor at Christ's Church, makes a bold argument that will challenge everything you think you know about compassion. Using the powerful analogy of someone drowning in quicksand, Dr. Rigney distinguishes between biblical compassion—which reaches out to help while remaining anchored to truth—and what he calls "untethered empathy," which jumps into the pit with both feet, creating two drowning victims instead of one. This counterfeit virtue, he argues, has been weaponized across cultural battlegrounds from immigration and abortion to the transgender movement, demanding that we validate feelings regardless of truth or moral consequences. The conversation explores how this emotional manipulation has infiltrated churches, schools, and homes through Social Emotional Learning curricula, creating what Dr. Rigney calls "the institutionalization of the pity party." From the redefinition of marriage to the mutilation of confused children in the name of "gender-affirming care," he traces how untethered empathy leads through a predictable progression: pity to anger to cruelty—all while flying the banner of compassion.   Resources: https://x.com/joe_rigney   https://canonpress.com/products/the-sin-of-empathy   This episode of Refining Rhetoric is sponsored by the Classical Learning Cohort: Are you a CC parent or graduate wanting to become a more confident classical educator?

The book of Ruth may be only four short chapters, but it carries one of the most powerful and hope-filled stories in the entire Bible. Set during the dark and chaotic era of the Judges, Ruth's story begins with famine, loss, and bitterness—but it ends with redemption, joy, and the promise of a King. In this sermon, we journey through the entire book of Ruth. We begin with Naomi, a grieving widow who believes her life has been emptied by God. We meet Ruth, a foreigner from Moab, who makes a radical decision of faith: to leave her homeland, her family, and her gods behind to follow Naomi and worship the God of Israel. Her words—“Your people will be my people, and your God my God”—become a defining moment of loyalty and trust. What follows is a story of divine providence woven through ordinary events. Ruth “just happens” to glean in the field of Boaz, a man of noble character and a relative of Naomi's late husband. In Boaz, we see both kindness and strength as he steps into the role of kinsman-redeemer, protecting Ruth and securing a future for Naomi's family. What looks like chance is really God's careful orchestration. This lesson reminds us that no life is too small, no decision too ordinary, and no circumstance too bleak for God to use in His redemptive plan. The book of Ruth teaches us that behind every step of obedience, every act of loyalty, and every risk of faith lies the possibility of God writing a much bigger story than we could ever imagine. If you've ever wondered how God can work through your everyday struggles, disappointments, and choices, this story is for you. Ruth's journey shows us that God's providence is at work in famine and in fullness, in tragedy and in joy, and that He is still weaving our ordinary lives into His extraordinary plan of redemption.

Send us a text In a culture that profits from our exhaustion and demands a hot take on everything, how do we stay with the real Jesus? This episode is a single-voice, honest walk through abiding and pace—moving from performance to participation, from hurry to the easy yoke. We name the pressure to react to every news cycle and every social wave, the chorus of second-hand “takes on Jesus,” and the stigma that calls burnout or confusion weakness. Along the way we practice stepping back toward God—not escaping life, but living within God-given limits—with lived scenes from the office, the kitchen, and the phone in your hand. Expect a grounded invitation to discern Jesus' voice, receive your limits as part of discipleship, be “late to a take,” and let belovedness set your pace. Quiet, practical, and deeply hopeful. Support the show If you have any questions about the subjects covered in today's episode you can find us on Facebook at the links below or you can shoot me an email at joe@buddywalkwithjesus.com One Stop Shop for all the links Linktr.ee/happydeamedia

Connect. Grow. Love. Together, we're learning what it looks like to live out these values in everyday life and in the life of our church.

Join us as Pastor BJ preaches on progression and burnout in our Christian life.

Welcome back to the Patterns of Truth podcast — we're diving into one of life's most powerful questions: Who am I? It's a question we've all wrestled with at some point, and for believers, it carries a deeper weight. As life changes, we may question our identities completely. Am I still a sinner, or am […] The post Are You Trying Too Hard? How to Balance Discipline and Dependence in the Christian Life appeared first on Patterns of Truth.

Maybe... but that should be the least of your worries.  Pastors Zac and Ashley discuss the response to recent events and the immediate affects on church as we know it, as well as growth in general.  It's not as heavy as last week's episode. Topic Suggestions: info@hpc.church

The podcast opens with a reminder that God's word is eternal and unchanging, despite the attempts of individuals to manipulate its meaning to fit personal agendas. The host, Ashley Sims, emphasizes that many people misunderstand the essence of Christianity, often using the title loosely without understanding the depth of commitment it entails. The scripture from Galatians 6:7 serves as a warning against deception, highlighting that one's actions will ultimately determine their fate. Your selfish intentions do not and change God's true meaning one bit. Be not deceived,God is not mocked. What is going on! Are you ready to transform your relationships and walk in your true purpose?

Send us a textWelcome to God-sized Stories!I had the absolute pleasure of sitting down with Dr. Dodge—a passionate church leader, author, and missionary whose own journey to faith began as a university student right here in the Midwest. Together, we touch on his remarkable story of coming to Christ, his calling to reach students on campuses across the world, and the meaningful church planting work he's been a part of, both here in the US and in the rural villages of Zambia.We also dive deep into his brand new book, “Gospel 201,” the much-anticipated follow-up to the best-selling “Gospel 101.” Dr. Dodge shares powerful insights on why a true understanding of the Gospel begins with grasping the heart of God's story from Genesis onward. We explore Jesus' parable of the sower and the seed—how it challenges us not just to hear, but to really listen and allow God's Word to take root in our lives in a way that bears fruit. We talk about the hurdles of a self-focused culture, the distractions in our day-to-day lives, and why approaching God with humility and a trembling heart is so important if we want to truly walk in our purpose.And here's something I'm excited to share with you: Dr. Dodge is giving away a free copy of “Gospel 201” to one of our listeners!

Part 16 of "James: Gospel Wisdom for the Christian Life"

The Christian Life's Pattern The sermon emphasizes the importance of embracing a pattern of death, burial, and resurrection in the Christian life, drawing inspiration from Charlie Kirk's legacy. It argues that true effectiveness and impact stem not from comfort or ease, but from a willingness to sacrifice personal desires and embrace a life of obedience to Christ, ultimately deflecting glory to God. Scripture, particularly 1 Corinthians 15, underscores this principle, asserting that just as Christ's death and resurrection brought about salvation, Christians must also undergo a process of spiritual surrender and renewal to fulfill their purpose and impact the world for God's glory.

Grow | This Changes Everything (Week 3)| Luke 10:38–42In week 3 of our series This Changes Everything, we explore our third core value at Riverview Christian: Grow. Growth isn't just about knowing more—it's about becoming more like Jesus. Looking at the story of Mary and Martha in Luke 10, we'll discover how choosing to sit at the feet of Jesus transforms us from the inside out.

Pastors Zac and Ashley are back from the summer break and are reflecting on recent world events, so the conversation may feel a bit heavy, but they promise a more lighter episode next week, so providing that everyone is on thier best behavior for the next couple of days - we'll all be in for a treat.

Gavin Lubbe - The Successful Christian Life by Living Faith Church

Dispensationalism is often misunderstood as a system of extreme charts or speculation. In this video Costi Hinn explains how it actually centers on the glory of God, the fulfillment of His promises, and the unity of salvation in Christ. By returning to Scripture, we see a clear and faithful vision of God's unfolding plan for history.

If today were your last day, how would you live it? Pastor James Biddle challenges you to stop drifting through life and start living every day with intentional purpose, contagious passion, eternal perspective, and awareness of God's presence. Through the story of Queen Esther and practical daily choices—like adding value to people, serving others, connecting with family, and giving something away—discover how your daily decisions become doorways to your future destiny. Learn why Christianity takes on new meaning when you stop focusing on yourself and start investing in others, understanding that the most important thing to God is souls because souls count. Will the things you're living for today be worth Jesus dying for, and in 50 years, who will remember you not for your charisma, but for how your faith in Christ impacted their life?
