Exodus 13-15

“But the Jews who were not persuaded, becoming envious, took some of the evil men from the marketplace, and gathering a mob, set all the city in an uproar and attacked the house of Jason, and sought to bring them out to the people. But when they did not find them, they dragged Jason and some brethren to the rulers of the city, crying out, ‘These who have turned the world upside down have come here too.’” (Acts 17:5–6 NKJV) Why is it that first-century believers so radically impacted their world? After all, they didn’t have the cool technology we have today. They didn’t have well-known Christian authors and performers. They didn’t have megachurches. They didn’t have printing presses. Yet a relatively small group of men and women turned their first-century world on its ear, or “upside down,” as the Jewish leaders put it in Acts 17. They intended those words as a criticism of Christians—as a warning to others about them. But their description revealed the seismic impact Jesus’ followers had on the world around them. It’s also quite possible that the Jewish leaders inadvertently aided Christians in their evangelism efforts. Who wouldn’t be intrigued by the possibility of turning the world upside down? Yet for many believers today, those sights have been lowered considerably. People are content to live quiet, unobtrusive Christian lives. They don’t want to kick up too much dust in their walk with Christ. Especially in the United States, many believers are surviving on a watered-down, anemic version of Christianity. They don’t seem to be living at the same standard of Christian faith as the first-century Christians lived. You might say they have a “faith-light.” They seem to want to do only what is absolutely necessary. To put it another way, Jesus has a lot of fair-weather followers today. They will be Christians when it’s convenient, when it’s easy, or when it’s the popular thing to do. But the moment things get difficult, the moment hardship hits, the moment persecution rears its head, they retreat. They abandon their faith. They prove themselves to be less than true followers, less than real disciples. That certainly would explain why they’re not turning the world upside down. It also would explain why, far too often, the world seems to be turning the church upside down. Believers today need to get back to Christianity the way it is given to us in the Bible, the way that Jesus proclaimed it, the way the early church lived it—not the watered-down version of today but authentic, New Testament Christianity. In short, we need to become disciples of the Lord. Are you a disciple of Jesus Christ? Jesus asks His people to step out from the multitude, from the fair-weather followers, from the fickle people, to be His true disciples. Yet He never asks more from us than we can give. Not only will He reward our genuine discipleship, but He will also guide and direct us every step of the way. Reflection question: What would bold discipleship look like in your life?

349 – Are you praying for your government?If you take an unbiased look at the government of countries all over the world, you'll often find some degree of corruption. Sometimes it doesn't run very deep but other times senior leaders and the heads of government themselves are the source of corruption.This has been going on since governments began. Is there a solution? Even when politicians claim they try to get rid of all corruption, it's a difficult thing to accomplish. Many governments don't try at all and are causing the problem.As Christians, what can you and I do about this problem? Should we get involved in politics, public demonstrations, or social activism, letter writing campaigns, calling government officials? What you decide to do is totally up to you, and not every Christian is going to feel compelled to fight corruption these ways. What we all can do is pray. But should we pray for a government when it's corrupt? Does prayer even make a difference with such a huge problem? There are lots of different ways to pray about this. How can we pray more effectively to get rid of corruption in government? Previous episodes mentionedEpisode 240: How Would Jesus Heal Political Division?                                      Episode 190: Quit trying to change something when you pray.∞∞∞∞∞∞∞SHOW NOTES: Full transcript and Bible quotes–thebiblespeakstoyou.com/349Text me your questions or comments.Support the showIf you enjoy the podcast, please rate and leave a review on Apple Podcasts or Spotify__________________James Early, the Jesus Mindset Coach, is a Bible teacher, speaker, and podcaster.

We continue our look back at some of the strongest and most interesting horror films of 2025 (#2025stillalive) by examining a decisively unconventional and deeply affecting horror film called THE RULE OF JENNY PEN. Starring Geoffrey Rush and John Lithgow in powerhouse performances, The Rule of Jenny Pen tells the story of an elderly judge (Rush) who, following a debilitating stroke, finds himself in a long-term care facility that is menaced by a maniacal bully (Lithgow). As his physical condition worsens and the staff become increasingly less likely to intervene, he finds every inch of his perceived power and authority stripped away from him. It is a harrowing and thought-provoking film of truly unique impact.We're joined by a host of FoG friends and Final Girl gamers: Paula Deming, Meg Oak, and Julie Ahern. Together we unpack all of the various terrors and hopes that this film has to offer, resulting in one of our heartiest and most vigorous conversations ever. Also featuring a Patron-only segment where we continue our journey through STRANGER THINGS Season 5, this is a lengthy but deeply thoughtful conversation that we really hope you enjoy.4:32 - Favorite Final Girl Stories19:53 - Recent Favorite Board Game PlaysPatron Only Segment: STRANGER THINGS, Season 5, Episode 334:42 - THE RULE OF JENNY PENSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In this week’s episode of the 9941 Podcast, Granger, Tyler, Parker, and AntMan take on a bold and necessary conversation: Is online church actually church? Rooted in Scripture and real-life pastoral experience, the discussion challenges modern assumptions about faith practiced in isolation and examines what the Bible truly defines as the church. Drawing from key passages in Acts, Hebrews, Matthew, and Ephesians, the guys explain why physical gathering, church membership, pastoral oversight, and meaningful Christian community are not optional extras—but essential elements of biblical Christianity. While acknowledging the usefulness of online sermons and digital ministry as tools, they clearly distinguish between supplemental resources and the dangers of replacing the local church with online-only faith. The episode dives into church discipline, accountability, assurance of salvation, spiritual growth, and the long-term impact of isolation on believers and families. With conviction, humility, and personal reflection, Granger, Tyler, Parker, and AntMan call listeners to pursue healthy local churches where believers are known, loved, challenged, and shepherded. If you’ve ever questioned whether watching church online is enough—or struggled to understand the importance of belonging to a local body—this episode offers biblical clarity, pastoral urgency, and a compelling call to live out faith the way Scripture intends: together.Follow the show: Instagram - https://www.Instagram.com/9941thepodcast Facebook - https://www.Facebook.com/9941thepodcast YouTube - https://www.YouTube.com/@9941ThePodcast Online - https://www.9941ThePodcast.com Shop - https://yeeyee.com/collections/faith See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Many believers don't fully recognize all they've received in Christ Jesus—God's love, healing, provision, peace, and joy. Instead, they often spend their lives trying to get God to give them what's already theirs. Join Andrew for this collection of faith-filled teachings and rediscover the abundant life made possible through the finished work of the cross.

Political Scientist Charles Murray recounts his long journey to Christianity.

We don't build the Kingdom Of God We announce it We seek it We recieve it We bear witness to it We build for it What does it mean to truly seek the Kingdom of God? In this episode, the Voxology team explores the profound and practical implications of living in light of Jesus' Kingdom. From understanding the communal and political nature of the Kingdom to discussing themes like cruciformity, justice, and the role of the church in society, this episode unpacks how faith intersects with cultural challenges and societal structures. Join the conversation as the hosts examine how Jesus' teachings call us to embody a countercultural way of life, rejecting the power of coercion in favor of love, reconciliation, and abundance. Through thoughtful dialogue and personal reflections—like navigating issues of homelessness and the dignity of every human being—they challenge us to see the Kingdom as an expansive, inclusive, and tangible reality breaking into the world today. How does the church bear witness to this Kingdom? What does "faith and politics" look like lived out? And how do we faithfully resist passivity while embracing Jesus' call to justice and peace? These are just a few of the questions tackled in this engaging and thought-provoking episode. We encourage and would love discussion as we pursue these questions together! Share your thoughts and connect with us on Facebook and Instagram. Let's continue to navigate these important conversations about Christianity, theology, and the transformative power of Jesus' Kingdom in our world today.

Recording from Healing Is Here 2025:Did you know that envy and strife can hinder you from receiving your healing?

Are Christians being manipulated by propaganda, and do most believers even realize it?   In this episode, Pastors Josh Howerton, Carlos Erazo, Paul Cunningham confront the rise of viral propaganda, emotional manipulation, and misinformation surrounding ICE and cultural outrage, calling Christians to think biblically rather than react emotionally; from there, the conversation moves to Mark 10, where Jesus radically redefines greatness, power, and authority through service and sacrifice, before closing with a clear, no-spin theological examination of Mormonism, addressing whether it aligns with biblical Christianity and why Scripture repeatedly warns against “another Jesus” and “another gospel.”   You'll learn: How propaganda and emotional manipulation shape public perception Why Proverbs 18:17 is critical in a viral-media culture What Jesus actually teaches about greatness and authority in Mark 10 The biblical definition of servant leadership Why Mormonism differs fundamentally from Christianity How to test spiritual claims, angelic revelations, and new scripture biblically

In today's episode of Talk Heathen, Jimmy Jr. and Objectively Dan dismantle the tired propaganda linking atheism to communism! The hosts explore historical misconceptions, the "victim complex" of the religious right, and the distinct differences between economic theory and secular government. Is the fear of communism just a tool to preserve religious dominance in the West?Lisa in Canada asks if fundamentalist groups like Prager U deliberately conflate secularism with communism to manufacture a Christian persecution complex. Dan explains that branding a YouTube channel as a "University" is a propaganda tactic designed to confuse definitions and maintain the religious status quo. The hosts highlight how secularism actually protects religious freedom for everyone. Will unmasking these strategic misdefinitions help end the perceived war on Christianity?Anne in CA explores the definition of communism versus the Cold War authoritarianism she grew up with. Jimmy and Dan define dialectical materialism and the social contract, noting that true communism remains unrealized because political elites pervert the theory for power. They distinguish between socialized policies, like healthcare, and state ownership of production. Does understanding the nuances of political theory make the "communist" label less effective as a scare tactic?Thank you for joining us this week!

Today’s Bible Verse: “So she went out, entered a field and began to glean behind the harvesters. As it turned out, she was working in a field belonging to Boaz, who was from the clan of Elimelek.” — Ruth 2:3 Ruth 2:3 captures a moment that seemed ordinary but carried extraordinary purpose. What looked like chance—Ruth choosing a field to glean—was actually God’s quiet guidance at work. In her faithfulness to do the next right thing, God was already arranging provision, protection, and a future she couldn’t yet see. Want to listen without ads?

Send us a textIn this episode of The FORGE Truth Podcast, Pete Alwinson and Jayson Quiñones walk through the ideas behind Aaron Renn's Life in the Negative World and why it matters for men today. They unpack the shift from a culture that once rewarded Christianity to one that now often resists it, and they explain how this change affects churches, families, and personal faith. The conversation focuses on leadership in a hostile culture, resilience and anti fragility, institutional integrity, and the need for clear truth spoken with courage and grace. This episode challenges men to understand the moment they are living in and to respond with conviction, strength, and faithfulness rather than fear or compromise.

This week NT Wright joins me to explore the vision behind his new book, God's Homecoming: The Forgotten Promise of Future Renewal. Many of us were raised with an end-times story that was focused on escape—going to heaven when we die, the rapture, and the destruction of the world. BUT. What if that was never the Christian hope? In this conversation, NT Wright challenges fear-based eschatology and invites us into a different future: not leaving creation behind, but God renewing it. We talk about heaven, resurrection, new creation, and what the Bible actually says about the end times. We also explore how this vision of hope speaks to real-world issues like political polarization, anxiety around "end times", and healing from evangelical and fundamentalist Christianity. Are you deconstructing, rethinking faith, or searching for a way to imagine God without fear? This episode is for you! In this episode, we discuss: Why “going to heaven when you die” became the dominant story What the Bible says about resurrection and new creation How fear-based end-times theology shaped evangelical Christianity What God's “homecoming” means for how we live now (**Below are Amazon affiliate links.

2 Peter 1:1-11 (ESV)Andrew, Isack, and Edwin discuss God's grace to give us all we need to partake in His divine nature. We don't do it by following Satan's advice to eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. We do it by actually knowing Jesus Christ.Read the written devo that goes along with this episode by clicking here.    Let us know what you are learning or any questions you have.

This week, we kicked off our sermon series Established as we take a look at the different stories throughout 1 Samuel. This week, we looked at the story of Hannah and how she was barren but rooted in God and found His faithfulness amidst disappointment.1 Samuel 1:1-2 Genesis 2:24 Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh.Matthew 19:4-6  He (Jesus) answered, “Have you not read that He who created them from the beginning made them male and female, 5  and said, ‘Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh'?  6  So they are no longer two but one flesh. What therefore God has joined together, let not man separate.”  I SAMUEL 1:3-18 Being Established DURING Great Disappointment1. Continue in Prayer 10, 12, 13, 16, 26, 27.2. Endure in all Things 183. Worship the Lord  19  1 SAMUEL 1:19-204. Patient in Trust  20I SAMUEL 1:21-28I SAMUEL 2:1-10Christ is the promised King who will establish His people by His victory over death.

Most people never escape the circumstances they're born into — Dr. Ming Wang escaped Communist China with $50 and went on to restore sight to millions. In this episode of The Root of All Success, Jason Duncan sits down with Dr. Ming Wang, a Harvard- and MIT-trained physician, laser eye surgeon, and the inventor who donated a multi-million dollar patent to help blind children worldwide. Dr. Wang breaks down how he redefined success from outcomes to effort, why he chose purpose over profit, and how perseverance rooted in faith carried him from darkness to light — both literally and spiritually. This conversation dives into: Why he completed three years of high school in weeks to escape labor camps How earning both an MD and a PhD made him a one-of-a-kind surgeon The moment he chose to donate his invention instead of cashing in Why success should be measured by effort, not results How his conversion from atheism to Christianity transformed his purpose The business lesson medical school never taught him about serving your audience first If you're facing impossible odds, searching for deeper purpose in your work, or need to redefine what success means to you — this episode will challenge everything you thought you knew about achievement.

Do you struggle to wonder what God's will is for your life?Many of us do.Although it isn't a quick answer, the best way to find God's will for your life is to read His Word. The Bible will tell you the answer to that question.Romans 8:31 tells us, “If God is for us, who can be against us?”Actually, finding God's will isn't the hardest part. Deciding to follow His will is where we get tripped up.People need the skill and discipline of being persistent. Too often, the impulse is to give up and then, if we're honest, pretend that God hasn't revealed His will to us.Good old Abe Lincoln had it right when he said that the only important response is to make sure we are on God's side, not whether He's on ours.God has already told us that He's on our side. He sent His Son, Jesus, to take the penalty for our sin. It doesn't get any more “on our side” than that.Change your thinking a bit. Don't focus on what you think God is supposed to do.Resolve instead to follow God, and do it every day.Let's pray.Lord, your will is the thing that drives us on to find our purpose in life. Thank you for sticking with us. Help us to stick with you. In Jesus' name, amen. Change your shirt, and you can change the world!
