What does it mean to be both a sheep and a shepherd? We're first sheep—dependent and in need of care. As we receive from Christ, we're called to give. Feeding others starts by feasting on God's Word ourselves.This four-part series draws us deep into the heart of our Shepherd, Jesus Christ, who calls us not only to follow Him, but to love Him above all else—and in that love, to feed His sheep. From Peter's restoration on the Galilean shore to our daily walk in homes, churches, and workplaces, we are invited to dine with Christ so that we may nourish others. Rooted in His Word and led by His Spirit, our lives become streams of comfort, truth, and encouragement to a world of wandering sheep. Join Gabe and Nate as they explore Christ's Command to, “Feed my sheep.”Want to go deeper in studying this command of Christ?

What happens when your dog isn't in a command? Do they make good decisions or fall apart completely? This question strikes at the heart of the difference between obedience training and true behavior modification.Many dog owners believe their problems are solved when their dog returns from a board and train program perfectly executing commands like place, sit, and heel. But as we explore in this episode, obedience is merely a tool—not the finished product. A dog that performs beautifully in training sessions but makes poor choices when "off duty" hasn't undergone genuine behavioral change.True behavior modification focuses on changing how dogs feel and respond across different scenarios and drive states. While most training operates in prey drive (using food or toy rewards), real-world success requires dogs to function well in pack drive—making good decisions without visible rewards present. This is where many impressive-looking training programs fall short.The social aspect of dog training proves crucial yet often overlooked. When dogs learn appropriate communication with other dogs—how to share resources, yield space, and disengage from potential conflict—they develop the ability to navigate their world successfully without constant management. This social education forms the foundation of lasting behavioral change.For those struggling with reactive or resource-guarding dogs, understand that management strategies like keeping dogs on place are sometimes necessary but don't constitute true behavior change. Real modification means teaching dogs how to handle challenging situations appropriately, with the owner stepping in only when necessary as the "referee" who enforces fair play.Whether you're a dog owner seeking better results or a trainer looking to deepen your approach, join us for our Training for Trainers seminar on October 17-19th. Learn how to create dogs that don't just obey—but truly understand how to exist harmoniously in our complex world.

In this episode of In Our Defence, host Dev Goswami and national security expert Sandeep Unnithan unpack the debate over theaterisation -- the buzzword that has divided India's armed forces for years. Indian Air Force chief Air Chief Marshal Amar Preet Singh's recent comments about India not needing theaterisation right now have once again opened a debate that was meant to have been settled with the appointment of the Chief of Defence Staff. On this episode, Dev and Sandeep go from the origins of theatre commands in World War II, to India's 17 separate service commands, to the Air Force's worries -- and the famous committees (Kargil Review, GoM, Naresh Chandra, Shekatkar) that studied this reform to death. The two explore: - What is theaterisation and why does it matter? - Why is the Indian Air Force pushing back? - Did General Bipin Rawat's death stall the project? - What role do decades of committees and bureaucratic delays play? - And most importantly, does India actually need theatre commands for future wars?

This episode dives into the alarming rhetoric of Christian nationalist Pastor Doug Wilson, whose vision for a "Christian nation" would drag us back to the 14th century, stripping women of their rights and redefining democracy to serve male supremacy. We explore how figures like Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth amplify such dangerous ideology, showcasing how easily theology is weaponized into public policy. It's a chilling reminder of how "slow, patient, radical movements" threaten our secular society, twisting language and facts to push a regressive agenda. We unpack the hypocrisy and the urgent need for critical thinking against this creeping theocracy.News Source:The Christian nationalist pastor with ties to Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth CNN PoliticsBy Pamela Brown, Shoshana Dubnow for CNNAugust 8, 2025

This Quantum Field Sleep Programming bypasses the analytical mind entirely, working directly with your subconscious during the hypnagogic state—that magical threshold between wakefulness and sleep where the barriers between dimensions of consciousness become permeable. As your body relaxes into perfect stillness, we'll activate specific neural pathways that allow quantum command phrases to rewrite the electromagnetic templates governing your reality manifestation. I have introduced these quantum command phrases and words in several recent episodes to fully validate and activate their transformative power. Our focus is exclusively on large sums of money. Commanding the quantum realm within the subconscious to manifest large sums of money to flow to you in your life. These aren't ordinary words but vibrational instructions that interface directly with your energy field and the quantum substrate beneath physical experience. When received during the delta and theta brainwave states of deep sleep, these commands bypass all resistance, instantly dissolving limitation patterns while simultaneously installing new coherent frequencies that the universe responds to with perfect fidelity. The technology you're about to experience represents the convergence of ancient wisdom traditions and cutting-edge quantum consciousness research—a synthesis of techniques that creates immediate vibrational shifts at the causal level of reality creation. This process systematically reprograms the actual broadcast your energy field transmits to the quantum field, permanently upgrading your reality creation architecture.

Send us a textIn this second episode of why am I a member of the Church of Christ, Glenn begins by noticing the warning Paul gave to the elders of the local church at Ephesus about how there would be those among them who would seek to draw away disciples to follow them. Jesus gave the same warning, and we discuss that situation as well as the specific name Jesus gave them. Jesus discussed certain ones who thought they were following what God said but were in fact not doing so. We discuss what Jesus said to them and how important it is to keep the Lord's commands. We look at what Jesus told His apostles about Him sending the Holy Spirit after He left them and why He was sending Him. We note our discussion in the last episode about Jesus being the builder of the Church of Christ that is referred to in the New Testament. We point out that Jesus is the foundation of His Church, as well as the King over His Kingdom, which is simply another way His Church is described. We talk about how important it is for us to speak and follow what the words in the Bible say. For instance, we know that He tells us that everything we need to obey God and be pleasing to Him is provided in His words. We discuss what the Hebrew writer said about how God communicated to man in the Old Testament and how he does that today. We note the problem that we see in the world of denominations today, what they have done and why this is so important to understand. We begin our discussion about when the Church of Christ was established, by noting that the division or denominating of the Lord's Church was criticized very early by Paul the apostle, which was contrary to the unity the Lord requires. In the next episode, we will look at when the Church of Christ was established. Take about 30-minutes to listen in on our discussion. Have your Bible handy so you can verify what we are saying. There is a transcript of this Buzzsprout episode provided for your convenience.

Matthew 14:22-33

You will always be better off to obey than to disobey Jesus, even if that obedience costs you your life.

In this powerful episode, we dive deep into what the Bible says about mental health. With 60+ million Americans experiencing mental illness and 98.4% struggling with negative self-image, this message couldn't be more timely. Discover how Jesus' command to "love your neighbor as yourself" reveals that self-love should be natural, and learn 4 practical challenges for biblical mental wellness.SHOW NOTES:

Our Vision is: To see the fame and deeds of God in our time by developing followers of Jesus who are committed to practicing the way of Jesus. This vision is drawn from Habakkuk 3:2 and Matthew 28:18–19—a call to believe God can still act in powerful ways today and to commit to discipleship that actually practices His teachings. ⸻ Reason 1 – We must still believe God can and will act in power today     •    Habakkuk had only heard of God's miracles but prayed to see them in his time.     •    Scripture is filled with examples (Noah, Caleb, Joshua, David, the woman with the issue of blood, Bartimaeus) where belief in God's power preceded experiencing His power.     •    Many Christians stop expecting what they haven't experienced. Their experience becomes the authority rather than Scripture.     •    The more we believe God can work, the more we tend to experience from Him.     •    A.W. Tozer taught that we move toward our mental image of God—if we think He is small, we will live as if He is. ⸻ Reason 2 – God responds to hunger, not apathy     •    Tozer again: Complacency is the deadly foe of spiritual growth—“He waits to be wanted.”     •    Biblical examples (Israel in Egypt, Judges cycle, David's cries, 2 Chronicles 7:14, James 4:8, Matthew 5:6) show that God acts when His people cry out and earnestly seek Him.     •    Hunger means craving, longing for God's presence and work.     •    The lie that “God will do whatever He will do, no matter what” is unbiblical—Scripture calls us to seek Him if we want to experience Him. ⸻ How we pursue this vision – By developing followers of Jesus     •    In Scripture, it was always the committed followers—those who put Jesus' words into practice—who experienced His power.     •    Examples:     •    Peter obeying Jesus to cast nets and catching more fish than he could handle.     •    Lepers healed “as they went.”     •    The early church praying and seeing Peter freed from prison.     •    Stephen, Ananias, Peter—each obeying Jesus and seeing miraculous results.     •    Luke 6:47–49: Those who hear and obey are like houses on rock—secure, strong, and unshaken.     •    Many call themselves Christians without following Jesus, and thus miss experiencing God's power.     •    Jesus calls for disciples, not just “Christians.” Discipleship is not about morality for morality's sake, but about obedience that unlocks God's powerful work.     •    Commands are not rules for being “nice”—they are invitations to experience God's presence and power. ⸻ Call to Response Coleton invited the church to respond in specific ways:     1.    Pray for God's fame and deeds to be repeated today—in healings, conversions, reconciliations, miracles.     2.    Obey any specific word from God—don't delay obedience.     3.    Move from nominal Christianity to true discipleship—repent and follow Jesus fully.     4.    Cultivate hunger for God—because God responds to hunger. ⸻ Men's Discipleship Group Questions     1.    In what areas of your life have you stopped expecting God to move because you haven't experienced Him working there yet?     2.    How does your current “mental image” of God affect the way you pray, act, and take risks for Him?     3.    Men often value results—how can we grow in valuing hunger for God even when results aren't immediate?     4.    What is one concrete step of obedience you believe Jesus is calling you to take this week?     5.    How can we encourage each other to actually practice Jesus' words instead of just talking about them? ⸻ Women's Discipleship Group Questions     1.    Habakkuk prayed, “Repeat Your fame and deeds in our time.” If you prayed that today, what specific things would you ask God to do?     2.    Where in your life has your experience been louder than Scripture in defining what you believe is possible with God?     3.    What does “hungering for God” look like in your season of life right now?     4.    Think of a time you obeyed God despite uncertainty—how did you see Him move through that?     5.    What's one way our group can pray with you for God to “repeat His deeds” in your family, relationships, or community? ⸻ Author Quotes from the Sermon     1.    Abraham Heschel: “Never once in my life did I ask God for success or wisdom or power or fame. I asked for wonder, and he gave it to me.”     2.    A.W. Tozer: “What comes into our minds when we think about God is the most important thing about us. The gravest question before the Church is always God Himself, and what we, deep in our hearts, conceive God to be like. We tend by a secret law of the soul to move toward our mental image of God.”     3.    A.W. Tozer: “I want to deliberately encourage a mighty longing after God. The lack of it has brought the church to our present low estate. The stiff and wooden quality about our spiritual lives is a result of our lack of holy desire. Complacency is a deadly foe of all spiritual growth. Acute desire must be present or there will be no manifestation of Christ to His people. He waits to be wanted.”

There are commandments and there are traditions of men. We are to be strict in one, and loose in the other. I cover the Hebrew word “shamar,” and the English word “circumspect” in this sermon.

The nation of Israel was back in its homeland once again after the Babylonian captivity. The walls of the city of Jerusalem had been repaired and rebuilt. But something was missing. The spiritual hunger of the nation now demanded a clear word from the Lord. As they gathered together, we see five clear signs of how this nation was transformed, experiencing a real revival.I. Realization: They Knew They Needed More (vv. 1-2)II. Reading: They Heard the Word of God (vv. 3-8)III. Remorse: They Mourned Over Their Failure (vv. 9-10)IV. Rejoicing: They Felt the Joy of the Lord (vv. 11-12)V. Results: They Obeyed God's Commands (vv. 13-18)Talk with God: Take an honest look at your daily walk this week and ask the Lord to refresh your heart and revive your passion for His Word.Talk with others: Ask a believing friend or mentor to encourage you to spend time in the Word each day and keep you accountable.Talk with kids: Why did God tell Joshua to be strong and courageous?

In this sermon from Redeemer Church, the Pastor Jason delves into the biblical foundations and significance of the two greatest commandments according to Jesus. Starting with a detailed exploration of the Ten Commandments in Exodus, the sermon progresses to Jesus' teachings in the New Testament, highlighting how love for God and neighbor fulfills God's law and reveals the heart of God's intent. Join us as we unpack the core message of living a life centered on these fundamental principles.

Richard W. Harrison's The Soviet Army's High Commands in War and Peace, 1941-1992 (Casemate Academic, 2022) is the first full treatment of the unique phenomenon of High Commands in the Soviet Army during World War II and the Cold War. The war on the Eastern Front during 1941–45 was an immense struggle, running from the Barents Sea to the Caucasus Mountains. The vast distances involved forced the Soviet political-military leadership to resort to new organizational expedients in order to control operations along the extended front. These were the high commands of the directions, which were responsible for two or more fronts (army groups) and, along maritime axes, one or more fleets. In all, five high commands were created along the northwestern, western, southwestern, and North Caucasus strategic directions during 1941–42. However, the highly unfavorable strategic situation during the first year of the war, as well as interference in day-to-day operations by Stalin, severely limited the high commands' effectiveness. As a consequence, the high commands were abolished in mid-1942 and replaced by the more flexible system of supreme command representatives at the front. A High Command of Soviet Forces in the Far East was established in 1945 and oversaw the Red Army's highly effective campaign against Japanese forces in Manchuria. The Far Eastern High Command was briefly resurrected in 1947 as a response to the tense situation along the Korean peninsula and the ongoing civil war in China, but was abolished in 1953, soon after Stalin's death. Growing tensions with China brought about the recreation of the Far Eastern High Command in 1979, followed a few years later by the appearance of new high commands in Europe and South Asia. However, these new high commands did not long survive the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991 and were abolished a year later.

Richard W. Harrison's The Soviet Army's High Commands in War and Peace, 1941-1992 (Casemate Academic, 2022) is the first full treatment of the unique phenomenon of High Commands in the Soviet Army during World War II and the Cold War. The war on the Eastern Front during 1941–45 was an immense struggle, running from the Barents Sea to the Caucasus Mountains. The vast distances involved forced the Soviet political-military leadership to resort to new organizational expedients in order to control operations along the extended front. These were the high commands of the directions, which were responsible for two or more fronts (army groups) and, along maritime axes, one or more fleets. In all, five high commands were created along the northwestern, western, southwestern, and North Caucasus strategic directions during 1941–42. However, the highly unfavorable strategic situation during the first year of the war, as well as interference in day-to-day operations by Stalin, severely limited the high commands' effectiveness. As a consequence, the high commands were abolished in mid-1942 and replaced by the more flexible system of supreme command representatives at the front. A High Command of Soviet Forces in the Far East was established in 1945 and oversaw the Red Army's highly effective campaign against Japanese forces in Manchuria.
