Podcasts about commandments

Why do Catholics and Protestants have different versions of the 10 Commandments? What does it mean to not take the Lord’s name in vain? Should it instead be translated, you shall not 'carry' the Lord’s name in vain?

12.7.2025 | Pastor Gary Keller

In this episode of Outlaw God, Dr. Steve Paulson and Caleb Keith discuss Moses and mysticism, exploring how the story of Moses has been interpreted through the lens of law and gospel. They discuss Luther's understanding of Moses, the theology of humility, and the implications of pietism. The conversation also touches on the role of the law, the concept of negative theology, and the significance of Moses as a mediator between God and the people. The episode concludes with a preview of Moses' second journey to Mount Sinai and its importance in understanding the gospel. 00:00 Introduction to Moses and Mysticism 02:41 Luther's Understanding of Moses 05:26 The Theology of Humility 07:53 Pietism and New Laws 10:26 The Story of Moses and Commandments 13:26 Moses as Mediator 15:53 Luther's Perspective on Moses 18:29 The Role of the Law and the Gospel 21:04 Negative Theology and Worship 23:39 The 613 Commandments and Their Implications 26:28 Conclusion and Next Steps Show Notes: Support 1517 Podcast Network 1517 Podcasts 1517 on Youtube 1517 Podcast Network on Apple Podcasts 1517 Events Schedule 1517 Academy - Free Theological Education What's New from 1517: Coming Home for Christmas: 1517 Advent Devotional Face to Face: A Novel of the Reformation by Amy Mantravadi Untamed Prayers: 365 Daily Devotions on Christ in the Book of Psalms by Chad Bird Remembering Your Baptism: A 40-Day Devotional by Kathryn Morales Sinner Saint by Luke Kjolhaug More from the hosts: Caleb Keith Steven Paulson

In this final message of the Ten Commandments series, Pastor Les Cody unpacks the power of the Tenth Commandment: Do Not Covet. Through the story of Ahab and Naboth, he reveals how covetousness becomes the root of so many other sins—and how it opens the door to the Jezebel spirit. This sermon calls us back to Radical Love, gratitude, and full surrender, reminding us that Jesus must remain our first love.

Many think Advent is a time to prepare for the birth of Jesus, but, as this text illuminates, there's no time to prepare. Jesus has broken in and the clock has struck midnight. Dr. Chris Croghan and Sarah Stenson teach us that this text is about the end times. When Jesus breaks in, he doesn't come with a to-do list. He comes with a to-done list. It's the end of times; what is done, is done. And what does it mean to be prepared? The necessary preparations are done. You are prepared because you've received faith. You've been elected. God is your Savior. CHALLENGE GRANT A Luther House of Study donor is sponsoring a challenge grant.

Welcome back to the SuperHero Homies Podcast — and today we present something truly special: The Homie Commandments! In this episode we break down the 10 foundational rules we use to judge, analyze, and appreciate storytelling across comic books, superhero movies, TV shows, novels, and all forms of pop culture media. These commandments aren't about being “gatekeepers” or claiming authority — they simply reveal the metric we use to measure good storytelling, from Marvel and DC stories to indie comics and blockbuster superhero films. But before we get into our storytelling philosophy, we open the episode with a fun discussion about the Video Game Awards and their 2024 nominations. We talk about the unprecedented number of nominations for Expedition 33, what games might win Game of the Year, and how this year compares to past VGAs. Then we dive into The Homie Commandments, including:

In this episode of the Thinking Talmudist Podcast on Brachot 60b, Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe teaches the foundational mindset for confronting life's challenges: “Kol mah d'avid Rachmana l'tav avid”—everything the Merciful One does is for the best. Drawing from Rabbi Akiva's journey, he arrives in a town seeking lodging but is refused everywhere; he sleeps in a field with his rooster (alarm clock), donkey (transport), and lamp (for Torah study). A wind extinguishes the lamp, a cat eats the rooster, and a lion devours the donkey. Each time, Rabbi Akiva declares, “Everything Hashem does is for the best.” That night, an army raids the town—had the lamp glowed, the donkey brayed, or the rooster crowed, Rabbi Akiva would have been captured. By morning, the town is in ruins, but he is safe. Rabbi Wolbe explains we cannot see Hashem's “face” (the future plan), only the “back” (how events tie together in hindsight). Like Moshe seeing the knot of tefillin, we eventually recognize divine orchestration.Rabbi Wolbe connects this to modern resilience, citing released hostages who, after 900+ days in tunnels, immediately sought lulav, tefillin, and prayer—one hostage heard his mother's radio interview through a sleeping guard's device, a miraculous sign he wasn't forgotten. Another refused conversion despite torture, emerging prouder in his Judaism. Rabbi Wolbe urges embracing identity openly (kippah, tzitzit) and taking personal growth steps—no “all or nothing.” He contrasts 365 prohibitive mitzvot (fulfilled by not doing—e.g., avoiding slander fulfills 17) with 248 performative mitzvot (proactive—e.g., delighting in Shabbos with fine wine and meat, which Hashem repays). Quality matters: light Hanukkah candles with passion, use olive oil for dignity, build a sukkah with love. Find your “spark” mitzvah (like one Houstonite who builds sukkot for free) and spread that flame. Prayer should be heartfelt but concise before God (“Let your words be few”), avoiding complaints while pouring out privately._____________The Thinking Talmudist Podcast shares select teachings of Talmud in a fresh, insightful and meaningful way. Many claim that they cannot learn Talmud because it is in ancient Aramaic or the concepts are too difficult. Well, no more excuses. In this podcast you will experience the refreshing and eye-opening teachings while gaining an amazing appreciation for the divine wisdom of the Torah and the depths of the Talmud._____________This Podcast Series is Generously Underwritten by David & Susan MarbinRecorded at TORCH Meyerland in the Levin Family Studios to a live audience on October 17, 2025, in Houston, Texas.Released as Podcast on November 21, 2025_____________Listen, Subscribe & Share: Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/thinking-talmudist-podcast-rabbi-aryeh-wolbe/id1648951154Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0cZ7q9bGYSBYSPQfJvwgzmShare your questions at aw@torchweb.org or visit torchweb.org for more Torah content._____________About the Host:Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe, Director of TORCH in Houston, brings decades of Torah scholarship to guide listeners in applying Jewish wisdom to daily life.  To directly send your questions, comments, and feedback, please email: awolbe@torchweb.org_____________Support Our Mission:Help us share Jewish wisdom globally by sponsoring an episode at torchweb.org.

You're listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for November 19, 2025. 0:30 We walk through one of Donald Trump’s most brilliant strategic maneuvers—one the media will never credit him for and Democrats will swear was pure coincidence. Trump didn’t demand the release of the Epstein files, didn’t beat the drum, didn’t turn it into a rally chant. He hesitated just enough to send Democrats into full Trump-Derangement overdrive, convincing themselves they were “standing up” to him. And in that frenzy, Democrats in the House voted unanimously to release documents that could expose their own donors, their own Hollywood friends, and, as newly revealed, even their own party leader, Hakeem Jeffries. 9:30 Plus we cover the Top 3 Things You Need to Know. Billionaire Democrat Tom Steyer has announced he's running for Governor of California next year. The Department of Homeland Security has issued a Civil Emergency for Broadview, Illinois where pro-illegal alien activists have been rioting outside of an ICE facility. Federal Judge Orlando L. Garcia is ordering teachers in Texas to remove posters displaying the 10 Commandments from classrooms across the state. 12:30 Get Performlyte from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 13:00 Even in Congress there are still supposed to be some basic standards of conduct, especially when you’re representing the United States abroad. Speaker Mike Johnson is trying to restore that sense of honor. After an alcohol-related incident during an official trip to Mexico Rep. Dan Crenshaw from Texas, has been banned from international travel for three months. 16:00 The American Mamas tackle a difficult listener question: When a couple divorces, should they tell the kids if infidelity was involved? Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson explore different perspectives on honesty, timing, protecting children, and how to handle complicated situations when emotions are high. The conversation highlights how every family’s circumstances are different — and why compassion and careful communication matter. If you'd like to ask our American Mamas a question, go to our website, AmericanGroundRadio.com/mamas and click on the Ask the Mamas button. 22:30 We dive into the surprising public reunion between Elon Musk and former President Trump, reacting to their renewed friendliness and the buzz surrounding it. 25:00 We Dig Deep into President Trump’s push to dismantle the Department of Education—and how Education Secretary Linda McMahon is quietly making it happen piece by piece. Instead of just flipping off the lights and walking away, McMahon is moving programs into agencies where they actually make sense. We're walking you through why the Department of Education never lived up to its mission, how test scores have slid since its creation in 1979, and why so many states and parents want control returned to the local level. 32:00 Get Prodovite Plus from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 32:30 We dive into the growing national uproar over the NFL’s choice of Bad Bunny as the next Super Bowl halftime performer—months before the game even kicks off. We break down comments from Gracie Hunt, daughter of Kansas City Chiefs owner Clark Hunt, and we debate whether Bad Bunny is even on the same level as past performers. 35:30 Plus, Warren Buffet's annual Berkshire Hathaway letter is a real Bright Spot. At 95, Buffett shares lessons that go beyond money. He reminds us to forgive ourselves for past mistakes, choose the best role models, and to live a life that you can be proud of. Work harder on yourself than on your job, because greatness isn’t about money, fame, or power—it’s about helping others. And the kicker? Kindness is costless—but priceless. Greatness comes from the way you treat people, not how much you earn or the headlines you make. Buffett’s advice is simple, timeless, and actionable. 40:00 We break down Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett’s recent comments about President Trump and his supporters, calling them “a cult” and questioning why anyone would back him. She seems to completely misunderstand what they stand for, and that's okay. Confidence and conviction matter, and you can’t let critics or mockery shake you from standing firm in your beliefs. But if anybody votes for Jasmine Crockett, we're saying, "whoa." 41:30 And we finish off with one of the most famous speeches in American history, the Gettysburg Address.

But What If? 27There came to him some Sadducees, those who deny that there is a resurrection, 28and they asked him a question, saying, "Teacher, Moses wrote for us that if a man's brother dies, having a wife but no children, the man must take the widow and raise up offspring for his brother. 29Now there were seven brothers. The first took a wife, and died without children. 30And the second 31and the third took her, and likewise all seven left no children and died. 32Afterward the woman also died. 33In the resurrection, therefore, whose wife will the woman be? For the seven had her as wife." 34And Jesus said to them, "The sons of this age marry and are given in marriage, 35but those who are considered worthy to attain to that age and to the resurrection from the dead neither marry nor are given in marriage, 36for they cannot die anymore, because they are equal to angels and are sons of God, being sons of the resurrection. 37But that the dead are raised, even Moses showed, in the passage about the bush, where he calls the Lord the God of Abraham and the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob. 38Now he is not God of the dead, but of the living, for all live to him." 39Then some of the scribes answered, "Teacher, you have spoken well." 40For they no longer dared to ask him any question. Luke 20 [ESV] Do you know how we like to say, "Yes, but…but, what if…?" Teachers put up with this all the time. God puts up with this from us all the time… …but what if?…We say this after hearing God's Word…don't we? …but…but, my relatives have come to town? Yes…your point is? Take them with you to church, or let them stay home if they won't. You be here. …but what if I have worked a real hard and long year and go on vacation to rest? The best rest is in the Lord's House. …but on holidays I need all the time I can get to prepare the feast…so we can eat on time. …So have snacks ready and eat later. ….yes, but then the game is on…. …so tape it, eat, then watch. Is it the holiday (the HOLY DAY) or the game that is being celebrated? Is it a day of excuses to sin? Come on, what else you got? You see, I can give you a counter answer to almost all of your "what if's" as any good teacher will, or simply answer that that situation you give will never happen in the real world. I can give you an answer because the Bible answers everything that is under the sun. There is nothing new. Yes, God has an answer for them all…and yes, God has heard all the possible reasons for not doing whatever He tells us to do. God says to have no other gods before Him. Other little gods, yes, as God knows we have them, but Our Lord comes first. What do I and He mean here? Go ahead and love other things, but according to the Commandments and in their proper order. God first, then family (wife, then children…husband, then children), then your neighbors, then your vocation, then your hobbies. Love, cherish and care…but not before…not above Him…not out of the order of creation—the way He made them all. Yes, but what if… What if my husband is a work-aholic? My children need me, and since he is not around much, why should I put…let him be first in my life…over them? You both need to repent. Yet each of you are still to do what God says. Despite the situation—even in the situation. What if … Yes? …but…the town does such a lousy job on the roads…and they sent my son over to Iraq and I don't think we should even be there…and look at gas prices…. Show me a coin. Whose image is on it? A president. So, render to the government—to the world—what is theirs, and to God what is His. Pay your taxes, yes, but also give to God what is due Him: YOU. Whose image is on you? Whose image has been once again placed on you? How were you formed and how were you re-formed? Adam was made in the image of God, but then took the "what if" against…and instead of…doing according to how he was made. So, the image of the devil was stamped on Adam…and Eve…and all of us. The world—I don't mean this planet, although effected, yes—but when the Bible talks about this world, it is in the image of the devil. Its ways and its wants. It—the devil—wants to also form the church into its image. He would like to form you again into his image. As a liar. A cheat. A thief. A user. An excuser—an excuser of sin. The devil wants you in the image of death—to die and stay dead. You see, he is the master of the "…but what if…" scenario. He gave Adam and Eve a crash course right in the garden. "But what if God is holding out on you…what if it is a better thing to know good and evil…and what if God really does not want you to be like Him…?" That is where this MO comes from. The devil. The devil tried to do this even to God. He tried the "what if" in heaven…what if he, the devil could replace God and run things for a change…what if that were better? Yet he failed. The Bible says that the devil and his angels that he took with him—a third—lost their former estate. Thrown out of heaven. Adam and Eve lost their former estate too—kicked out of the garden. Pain in childbirth, friction between husband and wife…and more weeds than edible plants from all that hard work. Then Brothers killing each other. It seems that the devil's "what if" was working here, on earth. It has been—working well in the sense that we all do it, but the results…well no good for us has come of it. Yet, we still wonder, "but what if it eventually will be good…" No, as we will be dead. Every one of us. Then the devil, with all his success here, thought he would get another chance at heaven. Yes, especially when the Son of God became man. He even tried to make Jesus into his image. He tempted Jesus. Then because Jesus wasn't taking the bait, he killed him. The devil failed. Using his own work against Him, Jesus was not re-imaged, but actually began the start of humanity's re-imaging. Jesus was not just reclaiming His own body, and life, but also ours…and the world—nature and the universe itself. All will have the full, undiminished, unaffected, untarnished image of God once again. Starting with Jesus the man…then continuing with a band of twelve which then became over 3,000 by the second chapter of Acts, then out into the whole world—all by baptism—Word and Water…and Spirit. Same as at the beginning of the world. The World made by God's Word, the Son, in Water and the Spirit which hovered over the deeps. Just read Genesis chapter 1. All is being remade again according to God's way…again…with Water and Word. You see, by baptism, we no longer have the image of the world. We get God's name, and wherever His name is placed, God is there—His image is there…He is there. A new creation starts there. We Get Jesus as our covering. Jesus is the exact image of God. When we see Jesus, we see God. When God sees us, He sees Jesus. We get—we have Jesus, His Spirit and His Father. We have been reborn…re-imaged…remade…regenerated in His image once again. The planet is next…out into the universe even—everything. So, God has all the "what if's"—every contingency—even ones we have not thought of or ever will—He has got them covered. What if? What if nothing! We are to act now according to how we have been remade…like Jesus…to please His Father…where there are no, "what if's" any longer. There just are none in Jesus. Never! Even if we cannot see the how, it is covered. We are covered. So, we can, then, render to God, what is God's: You. Do so. All of you and yours. Your time, your things, your spouse and children even. Your life even. He who hates his life in this world, Jesus says, will keep it. He who loves it, will lose it. What image do you like best? Stop letting them change you into their image…the way they do things! Stop letting people try and change the image of the church then! We don't vote for choice in the name of freedom. We vote to keep God's commandments. We don't change church and our services just because that is what the world likes. It wants us to reflect them—their image, but we must reflect God's. It wants the church to use marketing and packaging to tempt and lure. It wants us to dress and be like them—to lure and seduce and tempt. All this is the image of sin, death and the devil. The church and its people have the image of Christ—it must or it is not the church. God's image is of life, not the dead. He lives and we live and move and have our being in Him. He is the author and perfecter of our lives. You only live because He says so. You only have because He says so. He gives life to all those who despair of their own. Face the result of your sin—your death. Face the fact that the soul who sins dies and leaves all that he has to someone else. Face that picture. Face that image. Then turn and embrace instead the image God gave you—His. God is the only one who can change that death mask into a face that lives…that reflects Him. He sent Jesus for this very reason. Jesus is the resurrection. He is the way, the truth and the Life. All those who believe in Him, who eat of His flesh and drink of His blood have life in them. These carry His life giving being—God Himself—the very image of God, Jesus, in their very bodies. Whose image do you have? Theirs or His? Those without Jesus' reflection die… …with no if's, no but's, about it. So don't confuse yourselves, or others, with "but what if's." As if…we could stump God. As if we could find wiggle room out of what He expects. As if there are loop holes. As if there were any other way. No, None! He alone provides the way out. Jesus. He alone provides life. Jesus. Yet, He not only gives wiggle room—to live and breath freely in—He brings us to His wide open fields—where we can and will be at play…in the house of the Lord…forever. Jesus came and did this for us,

If you've ever been in a relationship with emotional immaturity or narcissistic behavior, you know the truth: Healing doesn't come with a map. Emotional safety doesn't come with instructions. And waking up is rarely a straight line. In this 10th “Death by 1,000 Cuts” episode, Tony introduces The Ten Emotional Commandments — the patterns, boundaries, and insights that so many people wish they had years earlier. These commandments aren't rules you obey; they're survival skills you learn. They're the shifts that help you understand your emotions, trust your gut, stop overexplaining, and finally step out of the chaos you didn't choose. This episode is validating, grounding, sometimes funny, sometimes painful — and deeply relatable. With listener-submitted “cuts,” real-world examples, and a gentle breakdown of what healing actually looks like, Tony helps you recognize the patterns AND understand how to break them. If you've felt alone in your confusion, in your exhaustion, or in the emotional whiplash of trying to make sense of someone else's immaturity — this episode is for you. 00:00 Introduction and Series Overview 00:37 The Power of Your Stories 01:20 A Survivor's Poem 04:42 The 10 Emotional Commandments 08:54 Commandment 1: Raise Your Emotional Baseline 15:59 Commandment 2: Get Your PhD in Gaslighting 21:53 Commandment 3: Drop the Rope of Emotional Tug of War 27:33 Commandment 4: Set Boundaries and Mean Them 32:17 Stop Searching for the Perfect Words 33:01 Examples of False Promises and Manipulation 33:52 Understanding Emotional Immaturity 36:41 Limiting Your Attack Surface 40:13 Recognizing Projection 44:45 Honoring Your Inner Dialogue 48:37 Trusting Your Gut and Emotions 53:07 Change is Not Linear 57:51 Final Thoughts and Resources Women navigating emotionally immature relationships: come join Tony's private women's Facebook group.

Father Anthony with Tony and Cristina gather to discuss the goings on, and people in the Parish. Father makes the shift to the podcast after just celebrating a funeral this morning.  Talking about funerals, as they were in the past, leads them to step back in time and chat about how things were in the past while acknowledging that even then God was demanding.  Father Anthony points out that the greatest threat to us, the church, and the future of our humanity is our unwillingness to embrace the discipline of our faith.  He calls us to be humble and accept our cross and carry it as we honor the Commandments. St. Stanislaus Kostka Parish

In this message Pastor Les Cody concludes our X Commandments series with the final commandment, do not covet. This message explores how the unseen root of coveting produces visible sin, an whow if left unchecked, it cascades into the breaking of the other nine commandments. We discover how the seed sin of covering, as seen in 1st Kings 21:1-16, is the internal sin that drives external rebellion.  This message divulges how we tear down the principality of coveting by lifting up gratitude and generosity. We begin with our foundational text in the Old Testament with a biblical call to radically obey God by being on guard against the infiltrating spirit of Jezebel. We radically love God by not coveting. We can paste the below the description on each podcast: The vision of Mercy Culture is to take people from corporate encounters with God to daily personal encounters with God. At Mercy Culture, one of our unique characteristics is that we are a presence driven church. We are not built around any person or ministry. We are built around the presence of God.

This week's message dives into one of the most misunderstood commandments—“You shall not steal.” But Pastor reveals something deeper: stealing isn't just about taking possessions… it's about the condition of the heart, the breakdown of trust, and the areas of our lives where we withhold what belongs to God. From the two thieves on the cross, to Achan, Judas, Jacob, David, and beyond—Scripture shows that stealing destroys relationship, blocks blessing, and disconnects us from intimacy with God. But in the middle of all of it… there is a Redeeming King who offers mercy even in our darkest moments. This message confronts: • The hidden ways we steal without noticing • How withholding worship, obedience, integrity, and the tithe robs God • Why trust, not money, is the true root issue • How giving unlocks encounter, blessing, and restored relationship • The repentant thief who asked Jesus for nothing but mercy—and received Paradise You'll learn what the Bible actually teaches about the tithe, stewardship, spiritual theft, and the heart posture that either closes heaven… or opens the floodgates. If you've ever struggled with trusting God, giving, or letting go of control—this message will hit home in the best way. Listen now and discover why you radically love God… by not stealing.

Section 133 received Nov 3, 1831 in Hiram Ohio Historical background - By November, 1831, Joseph had compiled many of the Lord's revelations which would eventually become a Book of Commandments, later known as the Doctrine and Covenants. On November 1, 1831, the Lord revealed a “Proclamation” to the world which became the preface to the Book of Commandments, or section 1. Two days later, on November 3, 1831, the Lord revealed an appendix to the Book of Commandments, or section 133 which is a prophetic declaration of what must occur prior to the second coming of Christ.   Recap: Christ will appear suddenly in his temple. The saints must flee from Babylon and gather in Zion. Christ will stand on Mount Zion with his 144,000. The continents will become one land and the lost ten tribes will return. The gospel will be preached worldwide. Christ will appear in red apparel. The righteous shall be resurrected and the New Jerusalem will be established while the wicked will be destroyed by fire. Section 134 declared and adopted Aug 17, 1835 in Kirtland Ohio Historical Background – On August 17, 1835, the church held a conference in Kirtland, Ohio to accept the Book of Commandments as scriptural revelations from God. Also, due to the political turmoil and abuses of power, especially the disregarding of constitutional rights and privileges that should have been afforded the saints, it was felt necessary that a statement of beliefs in Governmental laws should be included in the Book of Commandments. Joseph Smith was in Canada at this time and was not present at the conference. Therefore, Oliver Cowdery wrote section 134 outlining the role and purposes of earthly government. This was presented to the saints and it was accepted to be included in the Book of Commandments but as a declaration and not a revelation. When Joseph returned and reviewed the document, he allowed it to stand as is because the saints had already voted their approval during the conference. Recap: Governments are instituted by God for the benefits of mankind and should preserve freedom, protect rights, life and property. Laws should be administered fairly and equally. The people are bound to obedience to the laws of the land. Punishments should be made according to the nature of the crime.

The 10 Commandments to Marketing and Persuasion I'm pumped to bring you an interview with Dr. Yaniv Zaid — the guy known around the world as “Doctor Persuasion” and the author of The 21st Century Sales Bible. If you've ever felt like you're shouting into the void with your message, or you're undervaluing your work, or you're trying to build a community but can't quite crack the code — this conversation will flip a switch. We'll dig into the ten “commandments” he lays out for how to master marketing, negotiation, persuasion and finally step into the high-value version of your brand. This isn't a fluffy chat about sales tactics that evaporate after you walk away. This is raw, real, and rooted in systems and psychology. Dr. Zaid draws from a PhD in law, from global speaking and consulting experience — and yes, this matters because what worked in 1999 doesn't fly in 2025. He'll challenge you to stop under-charging, stop hiding your expertise, and start leading with boldness, with clarity and with confidence. If you've ever held back because you thought you weren't “salesy enough” or you weren't supposed to push yourself forward — get ready to reframe that story. Here's why you'll want to tune in: we're going to unpack how to build a community that buys from you not just once, but again and again. We're going to talk about how to get people talking about you (the holy grail of word-of-mouth), how to provide personal attention in an age that seems to dehumanize connection, and how to build trust so that when you speak, people listen and act. And more importantly, this isn't just theory — we'll pull examples, tactics and take-aways you can use Monday morning. Because micro-dosing your life means small shifts that compound. Coach Jay style means you'll leave ready to act. So if you're ready to step into that next level — ready to raise your price, raise your presence, raise your impact — then clear your calendar for tomorrow at 6 pm Eastern. Bring your notebook, your questions, your “what if I could…” mindset. We'll push past the noise, past the hustle-without-heart, and build something purposeful, profitable and sustainable. Dr. Yaniv Zaid's book, "The 21st Century Sales Bible: Mastering the 10 Commandments of Marketing, Negotiation & Persuasion" is an outstanding book filled with practical insights that you can use right now in your business and in your life.  The book is filled with examples that give meaning to the ideas and concepts that he discusses in the 21st Century Sales Bible. Each of the 10 Commandments builds on one another.  When you start with the 1st Commandment to the 10th there is a connection between them all.  What I found so brilliant, is at the end of each chapter he has "Key Takeaways" from each commandment.  If you forgot something he reemphasizes it again, making the book a extremely useful took kit for anyone in business. Often times we find words like "marketing" and "persuasion" to be a bit uncomfortable. But, when you really read what Dr. Zaid, is saying you begin to realize our whole life is marketing ourselves and persuading others to do what we would like them to do.  The difference is this: There is an ethical and moral way to do it!  When we truly love our clients, and truly know we can help them with their problems or pain, then persuasion is not a bad word, but a great word for us to help them see the solution to the potential clients issues. The book says it is a Sales Bible.  And when you truly dig into the wisdom and guidance that is shared in each chapter will be both enlightening and life changing.

We continue our series on the 10 Commandments, tackling one of the most challenging topics: "You shall not commit adultery." This message moves beyond the physical act to expose the root of adultery in the heart, as Jesus warned in Matthew 5. We discuss how lust and pornography ("digital adultery") are covenant-breaking, and why sex is a spiritual union that is either worship inside of marriage or warfare outside of it. We also navigate the painful realities of divorce and remarriage, looking at the few biblical grounds God permits. Finally, we land on the incredible grace of Jesus found in John 8 with the woman caught in adultery.

In this powerful sermon, Ps. Nate Schatzline boldly confronts the growing lack of truth within the Body of Christ.As believers, we're called to speak truth—no matter how uncomfortable or inconvenient it feels. Yet the enemy has conditioned much of the American Church to compromise and conceal truth under the guise of cultural sensitivity. Satan has prepared a Church that's comfortable with silence—one that tolerates deception rather than exposes it. But God is raising up a remnant that refuses to water down the Word.

The Sadducees try to pose an impossible question in the law to Jesus: if seven brothers marry the same woman, whose wife is she in heaven? Dr. Chris Croghan teaches us how Jesus schools them in their understanding of the law and the resurrection: in eternal life, there is no law. Plus, he teaches us the Lutheran understanding of vocation being what God gives you to do for the purpose of being in this old creation. Marriage, kids, work, food, home, friends. CARE OF SOULS - ADDICTIONIn Care of Souls, a special mini-series podcast from Luther House of Study, Lutheran pastors and theologians come together to explore the deeply personal and pastoral task of preaching to and caring for those struggling with life's challenging situations: addiction, death, family disharmony, and more. Rooted in the theology of the cross and the Lutheran tradition of radical grace, this series offers both theological depth and practical guidance for pastors, church workers, and lay leaders.With conversations, real-life stories, and reflections from the front lines of ministry, Care of Souls equips listeners to enter the broken places of addiction not with easy answers, but with the crucified and risen Christ.Because in the end, it's not about fixing people—it's about preaching the Gospel.Listen to Care of Souls wherever you listen to podcasts or on the Luther House website: Care of Souls - AddictionCONFIRMATION Does your church have a confirmation class?

For the seven had married her."34 Jesus said to them, "Those who belong to this age marry and are given in marriage; 35 but those who are considered worthy of a place in that age and in the resurrection from the dead neither marry nor are given in marriage. 36 Indeed they cannot die anymore, because they are like angels and are children of God, being children of the resurrection. 37 And the fact that the dead are raised Moses himself showed, in the story about the bush, where he speaks of the Lord as the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. 38 Now he is God not of the dead, but of the living; for to him all of them are alive."Support the showInterested in sponsoring an episode of Scripture First?Email Sarah at sarah@lhos.org or visit our donation page: lutherhouseofstudy.org/donate

Simon Hankinson, Senior Research Fellow at The Heritage Foundation, joins Steve Gruber to break down his provocative new discussion, The Ten Woke Commandments You Must Not Obey. Hankinson explains how modern “woke” ideology is shaping education, government, and culture, and why resisting these mandates is essential for protecting traditional values, free speech, and personal liberty.  

Pastor Sean Gleason's message “Do Not Covet” teaches that coveting is a heart issue that pulls us away from God's love and fuels jealousy, competition, and selfish ambition. Using the story of the Samaritan woman at the well, he shows how misplaced desire leads to emptiness until we find fulfillment in Jesus, the living water. The cure for coveting is daily encounters with God, humility, and delighting in Him—because when we find satisfaction in His radical love, we need nothing else.

In this powerful close to the Ten Commandments series, Pastor Treigh Martinez exposes the hidden sin of coveting — the internal desire that gives birth to every other sin. Using the stories of Eve, David, and Judas, he reveals how misplaced desire separates us from God and leads to destruction. But there's hope: contentment is found only in Christ, our greatest provision. This message calls believers to reject the love of the world, resist the lust of the eyes and pride of life, and return to the table of covenant with gratitude and holiness.

Jeremy Lallier discusses Psalm 119:35—“Make me walk in the path of Your commandments, for I delight in it.”

In this powerful message from Pastor Landon Schott, we continue The X Commandments series by uncovering the spiritual weight of the fifth commandment—“Honor your father and mother.” Learn how honor unlocks blessing, protection, and longevity in your life, and how dishonor opens the door to rebellion, broken families, and spiritual warfare.

Fr. Mike summarizes the final moments of the book of Nehemiah, when Nehemiah returns to find the people of Israel being unfaithful to God's commandments and marrying foreign wives. Fr. Mike connects this to our lives, as we too often confuse God's unending love for us to mean that he always wants what we want.Today's readings are Nehemiah 13, Malachi 1-4, and Proverbs 21: 25-28.
