This week, Ryan Patrick Murphy closes out the church's series on Colossians with a message from Colossians 3:18–4:18 titled "Joining the Mission." Continuing our study on the marks of a Jesus-centered church, Ryan lands on the final mark: a church centered on Jesus joins the mission of Jesus — not just through evangelism, but through every ordinary corner of life.Ryan walks through Paul's household instructions verse by verse, reframing them as an invitation rather than a rulebook. In marriage, he unpacks an egalitarian reading rooted in Genesis, arguing that marriage is meant to prophesy mutual co-reigning between husband and wife, not hierarchy — while also honoring Paul's high view of singleness as its own prophetic witness to a satisfied life in God. He then turns to parenting as training kids to steward authority well, to work as an act of worship where the kingdom breaks in through ordinary jobs rather than only "paid ministry," and to Paul's language about slaves and masters, which he contextualizes historically through the story of Onesimus and Philemon — showing how the gospel changes social status from the inside out. He closes with charges toward prayer, speech about the city, time management, and relationships, tying each back to the same mission.The sermon's theological anchor is the idea, borrowed from Christopher J.H. Wright, that "the church doesn't have a mission — the mission has a church." In other words, God is already at work redeeming and restoring the world, and the local church doesn't manufacture that mission but joins one already in motion. Ryan uses this to reframe everyday relationships and responsibilities — marriage, parenting, work, prayer, speech — as places where heaven is actively breaking into the city of Boston, not just personal disciplines to manage.Ultimately, this message is an invitation to stop compartmentalizing faith from daily life and to see marriages, jobs, parenting rhythms, and even small talk as places where God's kingdom is already advancing. Ryan calls the church to become a "signpost" of heaven in Boston — praying for open doors, speaking hope over the city, and building the culture of heaven wherever they are sent. As the series closes, the charge is forward-looking: this community, hosting God's presence, preaching the gospel, growing in maturity, and now joining the mission, is being sent — not just gathered.

Karine Premont and Christopher Devine have a new edited volume focusing on the American Vice Presidency and analyzing not just the office and the officeholders, but also the role of vice presidential candidates in the campaigns for the presidency. Second in Command: Reevaluating the Role of Vice Presidents and Running Makes in Modern American Politics (U Michigan Press, 2026) is a fascinating exploration of the role and place of the vice president, the vice presidency, and the vice presidential running mate. Often this position and this job are dismissed—since the vice president has very few actual powers, besides his/her role as president of the Senate and tiebreaker in that body, and one of the certifiers of the Electoral College votes after an election. But in the contemporary political environment, vice presidents have grown in importance in terms of their role on the presidential ticket and in their role once elected to office. Second in Command is split into two parts, the first section focusing on the vice president in office, while the second part examines the vice presidential candidate and the role of being a running mate to a presidential candidate. In our conversation we discuss the fact that the vice president is often considered to be the “appendix” of American government, created at the Constitutional Convention to break a tie in the Senate, should there be one, and to solve the problem coming out of the newly designed Electoral College where two votes needed to be cast for president. But over the past fifty years, there has been tremendous change in terms of the inhabitants in the office, their relationship to the president and the presidency, and their activities on the campaign trail. Vice Presidents have become general advisors to the president. This precedent was established between President Jimmy Carter and his vice president, Walter Mondale. And since the 1970s, this newly engaged position and role for the vice president have generally been in place, with different approaches from different presidents/vice presidential pairs. The idea of trying to “balance” the ticket is still part of the selection dynamic, but it is as important as the working relationship that presidents have pursued with their vice presidential pick. We had a fascinating discussion of the history of the vice presidency as well as an analysis of the more modern dynamic. We talked about different parts of ticket balancing, since it is not necessarily about geography so much as constituent appeals: religious groups, gender, expertise/experience, and more.

The Apocalypse of Pseudo-Methodius was one of the medieval world's most popular and widely translated texts. Composed in Syriac in Mesopotamia in the seventh century, this supposed revelation presented a new, salvific role for the Roman Empire, whose last emperor, it prophesied, would help bring about the end of the ages. In this first book-length study of Pseudo-Methodius, Christopher J. Bonura uncovers the under-appreciated Syriac origins of this apocalyptic tract, revealing it as a remarkable response to political realities faced by Christians living under a new Islamic regime. Tracing the spread of Pseudo-Methodius from the early medieval Mediterranean to its dissemination via the printing presses of early modern Europe, Bonura then demonstrates how different cultures used this new vision of empire's role in the end times to reconfigure their own realities. The book also features a new, complete, and annotated English translation of the Syriac text of Pseudo-Methodius. New books in Late Antiquity is Presented by Ancient Jew Review. Christopher J.

QUOTES FOR REFLECTION“Belonging to the church will always increase our obligations and decrease our independence. And this is good.”~Megan Hill in A Place to Belong: Learning to Love the Local Church “There in heaven this fountain of love, this eternal three in one, is set open without any obstacle to hinder access to it. There this glorious God is manifested and shines forth in full glory, in beams of love; there the fountain overflows in streams and rivers of love and delight, enough for all to drink at, and to swim in, yea, so as to overflow the world as it were with a deluge of love.” “Love dwells and reigns in every heart in heaven. The heart of God is the original source of divine love, existing inherently, like light in the sun. From God, love flows necessarily towards all inhabitants of heaven.” “That which was in the heart on earth as but a grain of mustard-seed, shall be as a great tree in heaven. The soul that in this world had only a little spark of divine love in it, in heaven shall be, as it were, turned into a bright and ardent flame, like the sun in its fullest brightness, when it has no spot upon it.” “In heaven all shall be united together in very near and dear relations... In heaven all shall have property and ownership in each other.” “[In heaven people] will have no doubt of the love of each other. They shall have no fear that the declarations…of love are hypocritical; but shall be perfectly satisfied of the sincerity and strength of each other's affection, as much as if there were a window in every breast, so that everything in the heart could be seen. There shall be no such thing as flattery…in heaven, but there perfect sincerity shall reign through all and in all. Everyone will be just what he seems to be, and will really have all the love that he seems to have.”~Jonathan Edwards (1703-1758) in “Heaven Is a World of Love” “Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.”~Martin Luther King, Jr. (1929-1968), civil rights activist and Baptist minister “If a person doesn't love the church, they don't love Jesus.”~Voddie Baucham (1969-2025), former Dean of Theology at African Christian University (Zambia) “To dwell in love with saints above— Oh that will be glory! But to dwell below with saints we know— Ah! That's a different story!”~Christopher J.H. Wright, Anglican clergyman and authorSERMON PASSAGE Ephesians 2:1-3:13 (ESV)Ephesians 2 1 And you were dead in the trespasses and sins 2 in which you once walked, following the course of this world, following the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that is now at work in the sons of disobedience— 3 among whom we all once lived in the passions of our flesh, carrying out the desires of the flesh and the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, like the rest of mankind. 4 But God, being rich in mercy, because of the great love with which he loved us, 5 even when we were dead in our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ—by grace you have been saved— 6 and raised us up with him and seated us with him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, 7 so that in the coming ages he might show the immeasurable riches of his grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus. 8 For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, 9 not a result of works, so that no one may boast. 10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.11 Therefore remember that at one time you Gentiles in the flesh, called “the uncircumcision” by what is called the circumcision, which is made in the flesh by hands— 12 remember that you were at that time separated from Christ, alienated from the commonwealth of Israel and strangers to the covenants of promise, having no hope and without God in the world. 13 But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off have been brought near by the blood of Christ. 14 For he himself is our peace, who has made us both one and has broken down in his flesh the dividing wall of hostility 15 by abolishing the law of commandments expressed in ordinances, that he might create in himself one new man in place of the two, so making peace, 16 and might reconcile us both to God in one body through the cross, thereby killing the hostility. 17 And he came and preached the peace to you who were far off and peace to those who were near. 18 For through him we both have access in one Spirit to the Father. 19 So then you are no longer strangers and aliens, but you are fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God, 20 built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus himself being the cornerstone, 21 in whom the whole structure, being joined together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord. 22 In him you also are being built together into a dwelling place for God by the Spirit. Ephesians 3 1 For this reason I, Paul, a prisoner of Christ Jesus on behalf of you Gentiles— 2 assuming that you have heard of the stewardship of God's grace that was given to me for you, 3 how the mystery was made known to me by revelation, as I have written briefly. 4 When you read this, you can perceive my insight into the mystery of Christ, 5 which was not made known to the sons of men in other generations as it has now been revealed to his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit. 6 This mystery is that the Gentiles are fellow heirs, members of the same body, and partakers of the promise in Christ Jesus through the gospel. 7 Of this gospel I was made a minister according to the gift of God's grace, which was given me by the working of his power. 8 To me, though I am the very least of all the saints, this grace was given, to preach to the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ, 9 and to bring to light for everyone what is the plan of the mystery hidden for ages in God, who created all things, 10 so that through the church the manifold wisdom of God might now be made known to the rulers and authorities in the heavenly places. 11 This was according to the eternal purpose that he has realized in Christ Jesus our Lord, 12 in whom we have boldness and access with confidence through our faith in him. 13 So I ask you not to lose heart over what I am suffering for you, which is your glory.

No Ceiling, No Excuses: How To Stop Stalling Your Dream and Start Building Your Life by Christopher J. Capuano https://www.amazon.com/No-Ceiling-Excuses-Stalling-Building/dp/B0FGJY8366 Noceilingnoexcuses.com You don't need more hours in the day. You don't need another degree. You need to stop waiting and start building. No Ceiling, No Excuses is part memoir, part workbook, part blueprint. It's for anyone who knows they're capable of more but needs the tools and push to get started. Chris Capuano didn't come from money, mentorship, or stability. He grew up in chaos: addiction, instability, and uncertainty, and still managed to build a life of freedom, ownership, and real success. He walked away from a stable union job with benefits, a vacation fund, a pension, and a guaranteed retirement to bet on himself and build something from the ground up. No connections. No playbook. Just hunger, grit, and the belief that he was made for more. Inside, you'll find: • Lessons learned the hard way from family struggles to job sites to business ownership • The H.U.S.T.L.E. framework that changed everything • Sales, mindset, and leadership skills that actually work • How to build revenue streams that work when you're not • A raw look at what it means to grow when life stacks the deck against you This isn't fluff. This isn't theory. This is what happens when you stop waiting, stop stalling, and start building something real. If you feel stuck, burned out, or just ready for a new chapter, this is your sign. This is your permission. This is your starting point. Because there is no ceiling. Only the one you choose to live under. Let's get to work. About the author Chris Capuano is living proof that your starting point does not define your finish line. He has worn every hat you can imagine including busboy, server, power washer, dropshipper, Uber driver, real estate agent, union steamfitter, and now entrepreneur. Chris walked away from a stable six-figure career in the trades to chase something bigger: freedom, ownership, and impact. He did not have investors or shortcuts. What he had was drive, grit, and the unshakable mindset that there is no ceiling on what you can build. Raised in a home surrounded by addiction and chaos, Chris did not just beat the odds. He flipped them in his favor. Survival mode taught him resourcefulness. Street smarts turned into systems. Pain became purpose and purpose became profit. Chris has helped thousands of businesses streamline operations, process over one billion dollars in payments, and build systems that create income around the clock. He brings real-world hustle, straight-talk strategy, and a relentless belief that if you want it bad enough you will figure it out. He lives on Long Island with his wife and their four cats, proof that even the hardest hustlers have a soft side. No Ceiling No Excuses How to Stop Stalling Your Dream and Start Building Your Life is his first book and his loudest message yet.

Alex grew up loving and cherishing his local church family. As he grew in relationship to Christ, he sensed God was calling him to serve the global Church. In this episode, we discuss Alex's first steps serving his local church and then his first steps serving the Church around the world. With a summer in Birmingham serving at Oikos church and then a summer praying in new nations GEM is pursuing, we break down the lessons Alex learned. We then talk about the faith it requires to allow God's mission to be the focus of the church. “It is not so much the case that God has a mission for his church in the world, as that God has a church for his mission in the world. Mission was not made for the church; the church was made for mission – God's mission."― Christopher J.H.

Kunst ist schön, macht aber viel Arbeit. Diese etwas spöttische Volksweisheit lässt den finanziellen Aspekt bewusst aus und weiß ihn doch stets im Hintergrund. Denn jede Arbeit will bezahlt sein, ebenso wie die Miete und die Lebenshaltung. Kunst jedoch, die nach dem Markt schielt, nach der Verkaufbarkeit, ist Design, Dekor oder Unterhaltung und wird meist nicht ernst genommen. Wo aber treffen sich Kunst und Markt? Wer bestimmt, was wieviel kosten darf und wer mit der Kunst verdient? Muss man sich Kunst leisten können, als Individuum, als Gesellschaft, als Menschheit? Schon die Höhlenmaler wurden vom Stamm miternährt. Doch so fraglos funktioniert das auf heute übertragen nicht mehr. Über den Preis der Kunst wollen wir heute reden und die Frage: was ist uns Kunst wert? Über den Protest gegen Kürzungen in der Kultur mit Heinrich Horwitz, Regisseur*in am HAU/ Berlin, mit Eckhard Braun, Kulturberater und Dozent am Institut für Kulturwissenschaft an der Uni Koblenz, mit Ulrike Schumacher, Kinobetreiberin im ländlichen Raum und mit Christopher Jähnert, Autor des Plusminus-Podcasts: Konzert als Luxus.

During presidential campaigns, candidates crisscross the country nonstop—visiting swing states, their home turf, and enemy territory. But do all those campaign visits make a difference when Election Day comes? If so, how and under what conditions? Do they mobilise the partisan faithful or persuade undecided voters? What do campaigns try to achieve through campaign visits—and when do they succeed? I'm Here to Ask for Your Vote: How Presidential Campaign Visits Influence Voters (Columbia University Press, 2023) by Dr. Christopher J. Devine is a comprehensive and compelling examination of the strategy and effectiveness of presidential campaign visits. Dr. Devine uses an original database of presidential and vice-presidential campaign visits from 2008 through 2020 to estimate the effects of visits on vote choice and turnout, both among individual voters and within counties. He finds that campaign visits do not usually influence voting behaviour, but when they do, most often it is by persuading undecided voters—as was the case for John McCain in 2008 and even Donald Trump in 2020. Challenging the recent emphasis on candidates playing to their base, this book suggests that persuasion is still a viable campaign strategy, in which candidate visits may play a major role. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose forthcoming book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.
