What are we witnessing in this archetypal story?First, why do I refer to the story as “archetypal”?– archetypes have to do with basic themes planted in the human mind• familiar themes are revealed in the heroes, heroines, and villains of fables, myths, and fairytales◦ these characters represent specific qualities that define human persons and their behavior◦ including: virtuous, courageous, clever, creative, wise or foolish, industrious or lazy• the plot of the stories, and the actors differ from culture to culture,◦ but the qualities are universal, so we recognize when they're pointed out to us– in this story of Eli and Samuel, the archetypal theme is similar to the “the sorcerer's apprentice”• it doesn't follow specific rules, because Eli was a priest and not a prophet◦ but he was familiar with prophecy and could give Samuel basic instructions• so first, after a delayed response, Eli discerns what is happening to Samuel◦ he is able to explain to the boy that God is calling to him◦ and, then he instructs him how to respond to receive God's message

Biblical Alert Podcast: Israel, Interfaith Influence, and the Signs of the TimesThe headlines keep getting more surprising. From calls to arrest political figures in New York City to growing interfaith alliances that are shaping culture and public policy, we examine the events that have many Christians asking what they mean in light of Bible prophecy.In this episode, we discuss the Pope's visit to a mosque and his remarks describing it as a place to seek the presence of the Most High. What does this growing spirit of religious unity indicate, and how should believers respond? We also address the increasing anti-Christian sentiment being voiced in political and public arenas and consider its implications for the Church.Most importantly, we continue our discussion on Israel. God's plan for Israel remains central to biblical prophecy, and Scripture reveals His concern for the land, the Jewish people, and His redemptive plan for both the saved and the unsaved. As world events continue to unfold, we look at them through the lens of God's Word and explore what they may reveal about the days ahead.Join us this week on the Biblical Alert Podcast as we examine current events, biblical truth, and the prophetic significance of Israel.

How many times should we forgive someone who has wronged us?

What a statement! But we're not talking about a presidential address. A recent remark from a Deputy Chief of Staff has sparked a conversation that goes far beyond politics. Speaking at a conference, he suggested that those who perpetrate evil often reveal themselves through outward manifestations that reflect an inner rebellion.Why does the backlash become so intense when the church addresses certain cultural and moral issues? Is it the result of deception, being duped by false narratives, or a willful rejection of truth? In this episode, we explore these questions with a little tongue-in-cheek humor and a lot of biblical truth.Join us as we examine the signs of the times, discuss the spiritual realities behind today's controversies, and consider why discernment is more important than ever.

Look at all the options and recommendations we face every day. Sometimes the biggest lessons come from the smallest details. In this episode, we explore why "it's not only what you say, but what you don't say" that matters. From needing an exemption letter to the simple courtesy of a repairman removing dirty shoes before entering a home, we examine how seemingly minor actions can reveal deeper truths about character, wisdom, and respect.The Bible warns us not to overlook the little things, because small compromises can grow into major consequences. Join us as we discuss practical life lessons, biblical principles, and how paying attention to the details can help us honor God and others in our daily walk.

Does character really matter? In this episode, we explore the timeless truth that doing what is right goes far beyond simply saying the right words. A person's true character is revealed through their actions, choices, and daily conduct.We also examine the ongoing spiritual battle that began even in the earliest days of the church. From false teachers and false gospels to false disciples, challenges to God's truth have always existed. Yet throughout history, God has faithfully protected His Word, His witness, and His workers, and the church continues to prevail.Join us as we discuss the dangers of compromise, the importance of remaining committed to biblical truth, and the urgent need for personal and national repentance. As believers, we are called to turn from sin, uphold God's statutes, and pursue what is lawful and right in His sight.A thought-provoking conversation about faith, conviction, and the character that reflects a life devoted to God.The Voice in the Wilderness does not endorse any link or other material found at buzzsprout.More at https://www.thevoiceinthewilderness.org/

The conversation examines concerns about the direction of the nation, the role of government, and the challenges facing America today. Drawing from the question, “If the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous do?” the episode encourages listeners to pray for our country, churches, believers, and Christian homes.We discuss the power of prayer, the importance of trusting that God answers prayer, and the need to put on the whole armour of God. Listeners are urged to study, memorize, defend, and publish God's Word and truth. The episode also highlights a special effort to celebrate this great nation through the printing of 250,000 books that share the history, heritage, and record of God's blessings on America.The Voice in the Wilderness does not endorse any link or other material found at buzzsprout.More at https://www.thevoiceinthewilderness.org/

In this message, Samuel Goulet teaches on the spiritual reality that everyone lives under a “yoke”—a guiding force that shapes our pace, direction, and responses—and invites listeners to recognize whether they are being driven by fear, striving, shame, legalism, anger, or the freedom of Jesus. He contrasts the crushing yokes of the world with Christ's easy and light yoke, emphasizing that true freedom comes through surrender, the work of the Holy Spirit, and learning to walk in step with Jesus. This episode encourages believers to cry out to God, receive His forgiveness, reject old patterns of bondage, and live from the fruit of the Spirit: love, joy, peace, patience, and freedom.

A single event can unlock a flood of memories. In this reflective and thought-provoking episode, we journey through personal recollections, unexpected connections, and deeper questions about faith, freedom, and vigilance.What began as memories of childhood travels through South Carolina—the first stop on the road to somewhere else—becomes a meditation on how life's moments intertwine. The death of a senator sparks remembrance of those lost to aortic dissection. Conversations about emerging technologies, including insect-sized drones, lead to questions about awareness in an increasingly complex world. Is vigilance paranoia, or simply the discipline of seeing clearly?At the heart of this episode is a discussion of the Founders' understanding of rights, the belief that life is a gift from the Creator, and the conviction that freedom carries responsibility. Exploring God's boundaries, human nature, and the enduring meaning behind the phrase “to go south,” this episode challenges listeners to consider whether our culture is in decline—and where true hope can be found.Ultimately, this is a call not to fear, but to remain sober, watchful, and grounded in faith. As the world changes around us, the message remains the same: keep looking up, and keep your eyes fixed on Jesus.Themes: Faith, memory, freedom, vigilance, history, technology, personal reflection, Christianity, culture, and hope.The Voice in the Wilderness does not endorse any link or other material found at buzzsprout.More at https://www.thevoiceinthewilderness.org/

In today's episode, we address the urgent need for believers to revive and activate the spiritual weapons God has given us. While the world looks to military strength, political solutions, and the power of human institutions, Scripture reminds us that the deepest battles facing our world are spiritual in nature. From the ongoing crisis in the Middle East to the moral and cultural confusion affecting our communities and homes, Christians are called to engage in a different kind of warfare.Drawing from God's Word, we explore the truth that "we do not war after the flesh" and that our weapons are "mighty through God to the pulling down of strongholds." We discuss the power of prayer, faith, and the authority believers have in Jesus Christ to cast down imaginations, overcome spiritual opposition, and bring every thought into obedience to Christ.Featuring insights from America's founding era, including the wisdom of Declaration signer John Witherspoon, this episode is a powerful reminder that our ultimate trust must never be in the arm of flesh, but in the sovereign power of God. Join us as we examine how believers can stand firm, claim daily victory in Christ, and faithfully engage in the spiritual warfare of our time.The Voice in the Wilderness does not endorse any link or other material found at buzzsprout.More at https://www.thevoiceinthewilderness.org/

In this thought-provoking episode, we reflect on the powerful display of American unity that followed the events of 9/11, when U.S. flags flew proudly across communities and highways for miles. As our nation approaches America's 250th anniversary, the red, white, and blue have once again become more visible, while empty flagpoles remind us that symbols only have meaning when they are raised and honored.Drawing a parallel to current events, we consider how standards can change over time—even in respected institutions facing challenges and scrutiny. But what happens when the standard is lowered? More importantly, what does that mean for our Christian walk?This episode challenges believers to look beyond cultural trends and shifting expectations and instead fix their eyes on God's unchanging standard. Just as a flag is meant to be flown high and seen, Christians are called to boldly live out their faith, uphold biblical truth, and let their lives be a visible testimony to the world. As we celebrate our nation's heritage, we're reminded that our greatest responsibility is to honor the Standard that never changes and fly it high in our daily lives.The Voice in the Wilderness does not endorse any link or other material found at buzzsprout.More at https://www.thevoiceinthewilderness.org/

In this thought-provoking episode, we examine a troubling picture of a society where disorder, violence, and moral confusion leave people injured and communities shaken. Drawing connections between current challenges facing young people and the spiritual battle described in Scripture, we explore the dangers of a nation losing sight of the virtues that sustain freedom.Reflecting on Benjamin Franklin's famous warning that America would remain “a republic, if you can keep it,” we ask whether the generations of the 1700s could preserve their freedoms—and what it will take for this generation to do the same. The discussion centers on the biblical virtues that strengthen individuals, families, and nations, while considering the apostle Peter's warning that those who lack these qualities become spiritually blind and forget the cleansing they have received from their sins.Join us as we call listeners to personal responsibility, spiritual renewal, and a renewed commitment to righteousness. America's future, we argue, depends not only on laws and institutions, but on the character and virtue of its people. It is time to awaken to righteousness and remember the foundations that make liberty possible.The Voice in the Wilderness does not endorse any link or other material found at buzzsprout.More at https://www.thevoiceinthewilderness.org/

From the faith of the Pilgrims to the enduring message of The Star-Spangled Banner rising from Fort McHenry, this episode reflects on the spiritual heritage woven into America's story.Drawing a powerful parallel between music and the Christian life, we explore how faithful parents, pastors, and believers can recognize the discordant notes of carnality and corruption in today's culture.

Now is the time for a spiritual tune-up—aligning our hearts with God and lifting our voices in glory, praise, and worship.Join us for an inspiring message about faith, freedom, and living in harmony with the Spirit of God.The Voice in the Wilderness does not endorse any link or other material found at buzzsprout.More at https://www.thevoiceinthewilderness.org/

We then look to July 4, 1776, when the Declaration of Independence proclaimed our inalienable rights from our Creator.The discussion continues into the 1950s with the story of Manny Johnson, who was lured into the Communist Red movement. Despite his involvement, his Christian upbringing led him to revolt against its teachings. Seeing through Communist doctrine, he ultimately confessed his sins and returned to his faith.We also discuss President Eisenhower's signing of the Communist Control Act and examine the view that Communism is anti-Christ, opposes God, and rejects God's truth.

Do we really have an excuse for staying silent? In this thought-provoking episode, we examine the powerful examples found in Hebrews' Hall of Faith and the conviction they should stir within every believer. Throughout history, faithful men and women have paid a tremendous price to stand for truth and uphold God's standard. From John Bunyan's imprisonment for refusing to compromise his calling to preach, to George Washington's reminders about civility, respect, and honorable conduct, their lives challenge us to examine our own commitment and courage.What would Washington think if he walked through America today? As our nation faces moral, cultural, and spiritual battles, too many people refuse to take a stand and make a meaningful impact. Yet we are not without examples. We have a rich heritage of faith, conviction, and leadership pointing the way forward.Join us as we explore why ignorance is no excuse, why conviction must lead to action, and how ordinary people can influence their communities—from the local level to the national stage—by standing boldly for what is right.The Voice in the Wilderness does not endorse any link or other material found at buzzsprout.More at https://www.thevoiceinthewilderness.org/

Try some people watching. They were headed to a dance competition. Can we be shocked at the sodomite invasion into our lives. It would seem logical that the "Daughters" of the American Revolution would be DAUGHTERS - but are they? When Congress was debating the Declaration of Independence he said they were in danger of becoming rotten of it. Now we cannot even define male and female. It starts with just a little leaven. Rebellion against masculinity, femininity and Bible principles. False teachers have crept in and it is rottenness to overwhelm us.

 Romans 14• A deep story describes a collective, emotionally rooted narrative that individuals and groups use to make sense of their lives and the world, prioritizing feelings and metaphors over cold facts or moral judgments.• The concept was developed by Arlie Russell Hochschild, a sociologist and we will talk about her more in a bit.• Today we will be considering how competing "deep stories" lead to conflict and how we can, in our spheres of influence contribute to understanding, healing and hope.• First we will look at competing deep stories in the New Testament, then we will look at how some deep stories are impacting the Church and society today.

In this heartfelt and reflective episode, we journey along the familiar road from the airport into Caracas, where mountainsides are lined with homes that seem to cling to the earth itself. Having made that drive many times, the reality of thousands of lives built on fragile ground feels deeply personal—especially when thinking of dear missionary friends faithfully serving in Caracas and La Guaira.As reports of earthquakes continue to rise around the world, we pause to consider both the physical shaking of the earth and the spiritual truths that anchor us. The King James Bible references “earthquake” and “earthquakes” 19 times, reminding us that these events are not outside of God's awareness or His Word. Scripture speaks into moments like these, offering perspective, warning, and most importantly—comfort.“See that ye be not troubled…” Even in the midst of devastating tragedy and uncertainty, there is peace available to the child of God. This episode explores how God's Word remains true and steady, even when the ground beneath us is not.If you've ever wrestled with fear during uncertain times or questioned how global events connect to biblical truth, this conversation will encourage your heart and strengthen your faith. #Podcast #FaithOverFear #Caracas #Venezuela #Earthquakes #KJV #BibleTruth #ChristianPodcast #EndTimes #TrustGod #HopeInChrist #Scripture #FaithJourney #GlobalEvents #GodsWord #EncouragementThe Voice in the Wilderness does not endorse any link or other material found at buzzsprout.More at https://www.thevoiceinthewilderness.org/

Am I really just a sports hater—or is there more beneath the surface? In this thought-provoking episode, we kick things off with a surprising reveal from my bookcase and dive into some eye-opening sports stats that challenge the usual narratives. From there, we explore the global scale of modern sports, asking a compelling question: does the World Cup have deeper connections to China than many realize? Sponsorships, broadcasting rights, and merchandise all play a role in a massive economic machine—one worth examining.But this conversation goes beyond the game. We shift from stadiums to scripture, comparing the world's pursuit of glory to a powerful moment in the Garden of Gethsemane, where Jesus prayed, “Not what I will, but what Thou wilt.” While worldly power, influence, and even opposition sought to stop Him, nothing could prevent the ultimate victory at the cross.Join us for a unique blend of sports insight and spiritual reflection—where global trends meet timeless truth, and where the “cup” takes on a meaning far deeper than any trophy.The Voice in the Wilderness does not endorse any link or other material found at buzzsprout.More at https://www.thevoiceinthewilderness.org/

Through the lens of both Scripture and history, including reflections on the Declaration of Independence and the reliance on Divine Providence, we're reminded of the enduring power of trusting God completely.From George Washington's humble prayers to our own present-day need for dependence, this episode challenges and encourages us to pray with sincerity, confidence, and surrender—looking to Our Father for all we need today.The Voice in the Wilderness does not endorse any link or other material found at buzzsprout.More at https://www.thevoiceinthewilderness.org/

We explore the perverting of meaning that has been adopted by preachers listening to liberal influencers, and how one meaning, one word changed can impact standards, songs, and give the Devil a stronghold.We also look at history through a spiritual lens—King George III, with Catholic and German roots, hiring the Hessians to crush the American army—yet when Washington prayed, everything changed. The amazing miracle of moving 9,000 men to safety became a turning point. The God of Nature answered, and the Revolution continued.Don't let corruption destroy your commitment. Stay vigilant, hold to truth, and be ready to fight another day.The Voice in the Wilderness does not endorse any link or other material found at buzzsprout.More at https://www.thevoiceinthewilderness.org/

In this thought-provoking episode, we explore the intersection of faith, culture, and current events through a biblical lens. As conversations intensify about America's identity and future, we examine the claim that spiritual and cultural conflicts are unfolding both nationally and within the church. What does it mean when people say there is a “war” not on sin, but on faith and heritage?We dive into Scripture to better understand these ideas, looking at the story of Jacob's descendants—how a people became a great and mighty nation through obedience to God. Reflecting on the commands given through Moses, we discuss the promises of blessing tied to faithfulness, and how those principles have been historically applied to the United States.Is there a connection between modern movements and biblical teachings? And how should believers respond in times of division, both in government and within denominational churches?Ultimately, this episode centers on hope: the belief that Jesus is the one who transforms conflict into peace. Join us as we consider the call to turn away from sin, embrace obedience, and step into the peace only Christ can offer.The Voice in the Wilderness does not endorse any link or other material found at buzzsprout.More at https://www.thevoiceinthewilderness.org/
