The Jews considered their forefather Abraham to be a paragon of virtue, a man with whom no fault could be found. Paul refutes this idea, saying that Abraham, like all other men, was a sinner saved by grace. It is not Abraham's works that justify him before a holy God, but his faith, for as it says in Scripture, “Abraham believed God and it was credited to him as righteousness.” In other words, if God serves an accountant, then his books would wipe clean the debt that was owed and his account would credited with a foreign righteousness, that is, the righteousness of Christ. Circumcision does not justify him, because he was credited while still uncircumcised. Paul makes the case that this makes him the father of both circumcised (that is, Israel) and the uncircumcised (that is the Gentile) who have faith in Christ. :::Christian Standard Bible translation.All music written and produced by John Burgess Ross.Co-produced by the Christian Standard Biblefacebook.com/commuterbibleinstagram.com/commuter_bibletwitter.com/CommuterPodpatreon.com/commuterbibleadmin@commuterbible.org

This episode of the Dan Caplis Show is a thought-provoking discussion that delves into the complexities of a recent lawsuit seeking to expand Colorado's ban on female genital mutilation to also prohibit male circumcision. The speaker shares his concerns about the potential implications of this lawsuit and the motivations behind it, highlighting the need for a nuanced understanding of the issue. The conversation touches on the differences between female genital mutilation and male circumcision, with the speaker emphasizing that these are two distinct practices with different consequences. He also discusses the importance of respecting religious freedom and the potential for this lawsuit to be struck down as unconstitutional. The speaker's thoughts are sparked by a Denver Post article that reveals the Colorado Democrats' stance on female genital mutilation, which he finds disturbing. The episode also explores the idea that the lawsuit may be an attempt to intimidate and censor people who hold certain beliefs, particularly those related to religious freedom. The speaker shares his concerns about the Democrats' approach to issues like this, suggesting that they may be more interested in advancing their own ideology than in upholding the law. If you're interested in hearing more about this complex and thought-provoking topic, tune in to this episode of the Dan Caplis Show to hear the speaker's full discussion and insights.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Can church conflict actually be a good thing? In this week's Midweek Move, we dig into Acts 15 — one of the most defining moments in the early church — where a fight over salvation itself forced the apostles to clarify what the Gospel really is. Carlos Renfroe and Dallas Mora sit down to unpack the Jerusalem Council, explain why Jewish believers were adding circumcision to the requirements for salvation, and explore why cultural identity and spiritual identity are not the same thing. Plus — the moment Paul and Barnabas went separate ways over John Mark, and why that "split" may have been exactly what God intended to double the mission.

Abraham is Paul's test case. Was he justified by works? No. Abraham believed God, and it was counted to him as righteousness. Paul makes sure you notice the timeline: the faith came before circumcision, not after. Circumcision was a seal of a righteousness Abraham already had by faith. That matters because it means the promise belongs to everyone who shares Abraham's faith, Jew and Gentile alike. God justifies the ungodly. The Rev. Joshua Heimbuck, pastor of Grace Lutheran Church in Ashland, OR, joins the Rev. Dr. Phil Booe to study Romans 4:1–25. To learn more about Grace Lutheran, visit gracelutheranashland.org. Why does doing the right thing sometimes feel impossible? Why do feelings of guilt follow us even when we've been forgiven? These aren't new questions. St. Paul wrote his letter to the Romans for a church he had never visited, and yet he addressed the struggles every Christian knows firsthand: the weight of the law, the persistence of sin, the sufficiency of what God has done in Christ. Romans covers enormous ground. Paul moves from the universal problem of sin through justification by faith, the role of baptism, the war between flesh and spirit, God's faithfulness to Israel, and the shape of life together in the body of Christ. There's a reason the Reformation was born in this letter. Join us on Thy Strong Word as we open up Romans, weekdays at 11am or on-demand anytime, at KFUO.org. Thy Strong Word, hosted by Rev. Dr. Phil Booe, pastor of St. John Lutheran Church of Luverne, MN, reveals the light of our salvation in Christ through study of God's Word, breaking our darkness with His redeeming light.

This recording is a condensed version of the sermon preached at Immanuel Evangelical Lutheran Church in Mankato, Minnesota on May 24, 2026. You can watch the full recording on our YouTube Channel. Sermon Text: Ephesians 2:11-22 (NKJV) Therefore remember that you, once Gentiles in the flesh — who are called Uncircumcision by what is called the Circumcision made in the flesh by hands — 12 that at that time you were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel and strangers from 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 both one, and has broken down the middle wall of separation, 15 having abolished in His flesh the enmity, that is, the law of commandments contained in ordinances, so as to create in Himself one new man from the two, thus making peace, 16 and that He might reconcile them both to God in one body through the cross, thereby putting to death the enmity. 17 And He came and preached peace to you who were afar off and to those who were near. 18 For through Him we both have access by one Spirit to the Father. 19 Now, therefore, you are no longer strangers and foreigners, but fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God, 20 having been built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ Himself being the chief cornerstone, 21 in whom the whole building, being joined together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord, 22 in whom you also are being built together for a dwelling place of God in the Spirit.

April 24, 2026 - Equipped 2026 - Day 2 - 3:30 PM Session This lectureship sermon walks through Genesis chapters 15–17, exploring how God's promises are revealed and fulfilled in the lives of Abram/Abraham, Sarai/Sarah, Hagar, Ishmael and the promised son Isaac. Delivered by a minister at a Christian lectureship (no guest speakers), the message focuses on biblical-history, covenant theology, and practical application for believers today. Genesis 15 is presented as a chapter of assurance: Abram's fear about being childless, God's repeated promise (look to the stars), and the covenant-ceremony with divided animals and the smoking oven/burning torch that confirms God's presence and sworn commitment. The preacher emphasizes that God is our shield and exceedingly great reward, and that past fulfillments of promise (culminating in Christ) give us confidence in future promises. Genesis 16 examines the danger of human attempts to "help" God: Sarai's plan to use Hagar, the painful consequences of that decision, Hagars flight and encounter with the angel of the Lord, and the birth and future character of Ishmael. The sermon warns that planning for God reveals a lack of faith, produces dissatisfaction, and ultimately fails to achieve Gods intended purpose. Genesis 17 highlights the renewal and clarification of God's covenant: Abram's name becomes Abraham, Sarai's name becomes Sarah, the covenant sign of circumcision is commanded (on the eighth day), and the promise of Isaacs coming is made explicit. The speaker notes the wisdom of the eighth-day command (medical context of clotting/prothrombin) and commends Abraham's prompt obedience, while noting God's broader mercy toward Ishmael. Key takeaways and applications: God's promises can carry us through deep fears; they do not require our feeble adjustments; and they point to a bright future founded on Gods faithfulness and oath (Hebrews 6). Listeners are encouraged to trust God's timing, rely on His presence, and find hope in the fulfilled and yet-to-be-fulfilled promises revealed throughout Scripture. Duration 37:26

Brit Milah is Hebrew for the "circumcision" a harmless procedure - done by a professional called a Mohel - when male babies are 8th days old. It is a Jewish commandment which is a central tenet of the faith. The nation of Belgium has banned Circumcision as well as Kosher Meat production - two pillars of Jewish life - what should the Jews of Belgium do?

In it, she watched a newborn boy being circumcised, and the baby locked eyes with her. That moment became the origin of what she now calls the first circumcision healing program for men.Jenna explains what happens during the procedure, what tissue is removed, and why she sees it as one of the least examined forms of trauma in modern culture. She estimates around 3,000 babies are circumcised daily in the U.S. alone.The deeper focus is on how this experience may shape the adult male psyche. She connects it to patterns around worth, attachment, and the internal drives many men struggle to name. She also argues that physical restoration alone doesn't address the underlying imprint.You'll also hear the parts often left out: the role of industry, ongoing religious practices, limited reporting on complications, and why she believes the conversation is beginning to shift.Some of this is difficult to hear, but it offers a clear perspective on why the topic reaches far beyond the procedure itself.You'll learn:[00:00] Introduction[03:29] What pulled a woman deep into the most unspoken taboo in men's health[14:53] Debunked claims, global statistics, and what really happens in that room[32:08] The cellular imprint left on every circumcised man and the mother wound it creates[41:50] The matrix man: how society programs men to chase a standard they can never reach[53:407] Trauma as a living entity and how it spiritually amputates a man's power[01:06:47] Everything that's actually removed and the medieval decision to take even more[01:14:59] How demonic forces infiltrated religion and what those rituals still look like today[01:33:49] The real reason so many circumcised men fear knives and share the same nightmare[01:37:05] Billion-dollar industries that need circumcision to keep existing[01:43:09] From the four venomous dragon heads to vertical alignment; Jenna's healing framework[02:02:16] Intact men suffer too: the global pandemic of genital shame nobody talks aboutRelated The Way Forward episodes:Blindfold Vision, Luminous Children & The New Way of Being with Dr. Edith Ubuntu Chan | YouTube Find more from Jenna:Jenna McClelland | InstagramJenna McClelland | YouTubeFind more from Alec:Alec Zeck | InstagramAlec Zeck | XThe Way Forward | InstagramDonate to The Way Forward here.The Way Forward is Sponsored By:PaleoValley: 100% Grass-Fed Bone Broth Protein is a nutrient-dense, easy-to-digest source of collagen and essential amino acids.

Hello EICabbages!Strap in because today we're taking you on a tour of the most salacious, strange and shocking stories in the news. Russell Brand running for mayor, TERF nonsense in the running space, Hannah Spencer calling out Westminster's drinking culture and a murder used for sexist click bait.From there we're taking on a topic that depressed us way back in 2024 after UK fashion and lifestyle magazine Sheerluxe introduced yet more AI influencers to its roster, with Brooke, Gigi, and Eden joining their OG AI-fluencer Reem. Comments on their socials are uniformly negative, but Sheerluxe seem undeterred. We discuss.And last (but not least) we're talking circumcision after The Cut published a piece titled ‘‘The Men Who Want Their Foreskins Back". The story centres on a 30-year-old man who was circumcised as a baby and recently underwent reconstructive penis surgery- plus the thriving online community of men going to lengths to manually "restore" their own foreskins. Not a topic we know much about, but we share what we learned from the piece and how it's shaped our current opinions.This week Oenone has been loving The Testaments on Disney+, Beef on Netflix, I Just Want You To Be Happy by Jem Calder (out 21st May) and The Cage on BBC iPlayer, Beth has been loving Expectation by Anna Hope and Ruchira has been loving Ex Machina, Search Party on YouTube and (secretly) Temptation Island on Netflix.Links: BBC - Influencer dies days after being hit by car in Soho Hannah Spencer Instagram Feminegra - Daily Mail's BBL Influencer Headline Sparks BacklashThe Standard - Russell Brand announced plan to run for London MayorPolitics Joe - What it's REALLY like in Westminster | Hannah Spencer interviewBBC - Sheerluxe defends use of AI influencer The Cut - The Men Who Want Their Foreskins Back Hosted on Acast.

Was the Apostle Paul Torah-observant — not just before the Damascus road, but throughout his apostleship to the nations? Brad East stakes out a thesis drawn from Messianic Judaism and the Paul Within Judaism school: that Acts 21 should be read straight, that James is telling the truth about Paul, and that Genesis 12 and 17 still bind Jewish believers. Derek Rishmawy and Alastair Roberts push back hard, working through Galatians 2, 1 Corinthians 9, and the question of whether the law's force after Christ is divine command or Hookerian adiaphora — with the future of Jewish identity in the church in view. — Get the free ebook Spiritual Formation for the Family at http://mereorthodoxy.com/family.

Romans chapter 2 shifts the focus from obvious outward sin to something far more dangerous—religious hypocrisy.After confronting the Gentiles in Romans 1, Paul turns to the Jews and warns that moral superiority, religious heritage, and outward obedience do not exempt anyone from God's judgment. God shows no partiality. Whether Jew or Gentile, moral or immoral, religious or irreligious—everyone must stand before Him.This lesson explores:• Why judging others while practicing the same sins condemns us• How God's kindness is meant to lead us to repentance• The danger of storing up wrath instead of treasure in heaven• Why God judges the secrets of the heart through Christ Jesus• The difference between outward religion and inward transformation• What it means to have a true “circumcision of the heart”Paul reminds us that baptism, church attendance, and religious identity are not enough if there is no real change within. God does not want performance—He wants transformation.Christianity is not about looking righteous.It is about becoming righteous through Christ.God is kind, patient, impartial, righteous, and deeply personal. He wants more than appearances—He wants your heart.Will we seek the praise of people… or the praise of God?

Romans Vol. 1 - Coming Under Grace People resist the truth of salvation by grace because they want to claim some credit, but Paul shows that Abraham was counted righteous by faith long before circumcision. Circumcision, like baptism and the Lord's Supper, does not save but points to Christ and confirms that all who believe are justified by faith alone.

Fr. Mike explains the meaning of circumcision for Israel's relationship with God. He also underscore the gravity of Achan's sin, and how the Valley of Achor symbolizes shame that is painful but not hopeless. Today we read Joshua 5-7 and Psalm 125.
