In this episode of The Leader's Notebook, I continue my series “Also Featured in the Cast” by looking at the “St. Peter movie”—and the people who surrounded him. From James and John, the fiery “Sons of Thunder,” to John's quiet faithfulness at the foot of the Cross, to James the brother of Jesus who led the church in Jerusalem, to Paul's bold confrontation of Peter at Antioch, and even to Judas Iscariot, I explore the lives of those who shaped and challenged Simon Peter's journey. Their stories illuminate our own struggles with failure, forgiveness, calling, and grace. No matter how far we've fallen, we cannot out-sin the grace of God. – Dr. Mark Rutland Chapters (00:00:03) - Leaders Notebook(00:01:22) - The Life of Daniel Stern(00:03:00) - Simon Peter and the Circumcision(00:07:27) - Simon Peter and St. Paul(00:09:15) - The Sons of Thunder(00:17:11) - Simon Peter at the Cross(00:18:28) - The Life of St. John, Chapter 21(00:24:08) - James, the Administrative Bishop at Jerusalem(00:26:47) - Paul the Apostle in Peter's Movie(00:30:23) - The Life of Judas Iscariot(00:32:18) - What Did Judas Iscariot Do That Peter Didn't(00:38:03) - The Life of St. Peter and John

In this episode of Root Issues, we dive deep into Philippians 3:1-9, where the Apostle Paul presents one of Scripture's most radical contrasts between human achievement and divine righteousness. Paul begins by warning the Philippian church to "rejoice in the Lord" and beware of those who place confidence in the flesh—the Judaizers who insisted on circumcision and law-keeping for salvation

This episode covers the halachic details of performing circumcision on Shabbat, focusing on how to protect the infant after the procedure, what types of coverings may be used, and how to transport necessary materials within halachic limits. We review when hot-water washing is permitted, both before and after the circumcision, and how changing medical norms impact current practice. The discussion includes when one may rely on a non-Jew for assistance, how to handle concerns of squeezing or washing cloths on Shabbat, and the status of the infant regarding potential danger.We also examine the rules for a mohel performing the procedure on Shabbat—especially if it is his first time—along with the division of the circumcision steps among multiple practitioners. The episode concludes with the opening of Siman 332 regarding assisting an animal in birth on Shabbat and the limits of permissible involvement.

This episode continues the study of the laws of Shabbos as they relate to performing a circumcision on the eighth day when it falls on Shabbos. The discussion covers which preparations must be done before Shabbos and which may not be performed on Shabbos itself. The episode reviews the rules for transporting the knife, when one may ask a non-Jew to assist with rabbinic prohibitions, and the status of the knife as muktzeh after the procedure. Practical guidance is provided on avoiding unnecessary carrying, safeguarding the knife, and prioritizing where the baby or knife should be brought.

Circumcision, Baptism, and Resurrection. What do these share in common? What do they all symbolize or anticipate? Throughout Redemptive History, they are all connected and signify the Person and work of Jesus Christ. So, what does this mean for the one who has faith in Jesus?

Circumcision and baptism are not opposing signs but complementary marks of one covenant promise. Both point to the same gospel and the same Savior—Christ Himself. Circumcision looked forward in faith to the Redeemer who would be “cut off” for His people, while baptism looks back in faith to His finished work on the cross and resurrection. Each sign declares that God consecrates His people to Himself, calling them to die to sin and live to righteousness in Christ. Together, they reveal one covenant of grace that unites God's people across all generations in the same salvation and the same Messiah.

Series: GENESIS | Scripture: Genesis 17:1-14 | Description: A look at the Abrahamic Covenant and God Almighty, and God's exceedingly great promises

November 6, 2025

In this episode, we explore the detailed halachic principles surrounding the performance of Bris Milah (circumcision) on Shabbat. We discuss the sequence of procedures—cutting, folding back, and blood removal—along with permissible healing practices, and how these are integrated into Shabbat observance. Key topics include the handling of remaining skin strands, performing Bris on children born prematurely, and the parameters for children born during twilight or via Cesarean section. Medical, historical, and rabbinic perspectives are considered to clarify when and how the mitzvah may be performed while balancing Shabbat restrictions.

More Jewish couples are deciding to skip a ritual That has been a part of Jewih life for four thousand years. the Brit Milah. The circumcision of a male Jewish child at eight days old. Circumcision today has a scientific and a religious aspect. We'll explore those in this edition. of Not That Kind of Rabbi with my guest, a pediatric surgeon (retired) and a Mohel, Someone who performs circumcisions.

Summary: Christ gave baptism as a tangible expression of his grace that receives us into the church, assures our faith that he's washed us of sin, and is applied throughout our entire life—and this is true for our children as well.

The ancient practice of circumcision in Genesis 17 reveals profound truths about our relationship with God. When Abraham received this covenant sign at 99 years old, it served as a daily reminder of God's promises and his responsibility to keep them. This physical mark teaches us three essential lessons: God gives us reminders to strengthen our faith, we need renewed hearts that cut away anything hindering our devotion, and we are called to bless others around us. Just as Abraham's circumcision marked him as part of God's chosen family, we too are called to complete obedience and generosity, using daily reminders to stay focused on our covenant relationship with Jesus.

This week the Acts of Leadership series takes us to Acts 15. Rick and Svea look at circumcision and the old covenant, the new covenant, and James' declaration in Acts 15:19, “It is my judgment, therefore, that we should not make it difficult for the Gentiles who are turning to God."Topics discussed in this episode:00:00 Intro02:41 We will always have to wrestle with issues that would seek to divide us.05:00 Circumcision: the sign of the old covenant.11:41 Baptism: the sign of the new covenant. Comparing circumcision with baptism.13:52 The new covenant is superior to the old covenant. The old covenant started outwardly and hoped it would become inward. The new covenant starts inwardly and expresses itself outwardly.20:25 If salvation is by faith alone, why did James add four "conditions" on the church in Acts 15?24:07 James isn't adding conditions to faith in Jesus, he's showing other practices that, if practiced, will pull their hearts away from Jesus and toward other gods.36:51 The thinking process of looking at Scripture in regard to temporary, cultural application vs permanent.39:21 If Paul, Peter, and James were addressing the American Church what practices might they suggest that would be helpful in following Jesus?

We explore the concept of "Circumcision of the Heart" as discussed by Moses in Deuteronomy. We examine Israel's persistent heart problem throughout their history, from the Exodus to the post-exilic period under Nehemiah. Despite God's deliverance and patience, the people continually demonstrated rebellion and disobedience. We delve into the spiritual significance of heart circumcision, contrasting it with physical circumcision, and its role in true obedience to God.Support the showRead along with us in the Bible Brief App!

In North America, we tend to think of circumcision as "normal" and "widespread." But did you know that circumcision as a practice only became widespread in the US in the mid 1900s?So what's the deal? Why did it originate as a practice and why has it persisted? And perhaps most importantly, what is the impact on a man -- both physiologically as well as psychologically?The answers may surprise you -- I know they did me. I was unaware, for example, of the extent to which intact foreskin helps a man with sexual pleasure. I also didn't realize that foreskin restoration is a thing -- that if you've been circumcised, there's actually a way to re-grow foreskin.There's a lot of intensity and sensitivity around this subject, and for good reason: It matters deeply. If you yourself are circumcised, you have loved ones who are, and especially if you're a parent-to-be, please listen.

Send us a textWhat if the loudest battles you're fighting aren't the real war at all? We open with a blunt reckoning: many of us mistake online arguments and performative zeal for spiritual warfare, then wonder why we feel empty. Our focus shifts to the battlefield Scripture names—sin that clings close, pride that craves applause, and false teaching that fractures the church—and to the quiet courage that actually costs something.We walk through 1 Corinthians 9 and the image of the race, where pressing forward isn't about earning salvation but living like the prize is real. Then we get honest about evangelism: when someone turns to Christ, resistance comes fast. That's why we prepare people for hardship and hope in the same breath. From 1 Peter 4 we draw a steel-spined vision of suffering that forms obedience, patience, and compassion. Trials aren't strange; they are training, and God's Spirit rests on the faithful.Galatians becomes the anchor. Paul opens and closes with grace, turning our eyes from outward performance to the inner life of the Spirit. Circumcision, law-keeping, even good rituals like baptism—none of these save. Grace does. And note Paul's strategy: he doesn't chase Judaizers; he strengthens believers. We adopt that strategy today. Instead of endless debates with false teachers, we build resilient disciples who can answer from Scripture with clarity and humility. Simplicity is power here: Christ crucified, risen, and sufficient. Grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone.A raw testimony from prison reminds us what happens when conversations center on Jesus instead of camps and labels: people believe. That fruit shapes our vision of church as true family, a place where we become students, servants, and stewards of truth and of each other's burdens.

“The Circumcision” is a name given to God's New Covenant offspring in Philippians 3:3. Are we the spiritual fulfillment of the natural, Old Covenant rite of circumcision given to Abraham. It was a sign of his covenant with God in ancient days. Is it still a sign now—yet on a much higher level?

In this episode of "Normal World," Dave Landau, 1/4 Black Garrett, and Angela open with a string of bizarre headlines about record-breaking fist bumps and Philadelphia's new “gay welcome center,” which somehow sparks a full conversation about mustaches, masculinity, and fashion gone sideways. Angela shares a story that's both heartwarming and haunting after she orders a stuffed replica of her family's late dog, only to realize it looks a little too real. The crew unpacks how grief, love, and unintended comedy can all hit at once. The conversation turns political when they react to a fiery segment of The View where Cheryl Hines, wife of RFK Jr., gets grilled on air. From there, they dig into RFK Jr.'s medical theories and the internet's endless cycle of outrage, using humor to separate curiosity from chaos. Later, they tackle the rise of “AI homeless man” pranks and reminisce about the reckless fun of old-school pranks that could only exist before smartphones. The episode wraps with their take on Kim Kardashian's new fashion line and what it reveals about modern beauty culture.

Welcome to Cocktober! We're spending this whole month on a plethora of penis things.As a sex researcher, I can tell you that when it comes to men's top sex problems, a common and unrelenting theme is around erections: getting them, keeping them, and being able to savor or "complete" them. This past spring and summer I interviewed ten men about their experiences with erectile dysfunction (ED), premature ejaculation (PE), and delayed ejaculation (DE). Some men had just one thing going on; some had a combination of these things.This episode is a distillation of the top five things I learned in doing those interviews. There were some unexpected themes, and some you might expect.If you've ever contended with this topic, I suspect you'll resonate with some of the stories and patterns enumerated here. And get ready for more c*ck content. This whole month is dedicated to the sacred member.---Work with usReady to go deeper than the podcast and take action? Jason and I can help you break old patterns and transform your sex & love life for good. To see if you're a fit for our flagship program, Pillars of Presence, book a call here. Start anytime.
