Zephaniah prophecies against Jerusalem—even God’s own people in God’s own city—can (and do) revolt against Him. Here’s what God has to say about it…

Paul’s warning to the Philippians was a caution to all followers of Jesus—that we’re destined to be like Him and with Him, and that all our earthly qualifications to do so are…dung. (Rated PG)

Ready for a refreshing take on Shavuos celebration? Forget the overwhelming details and embrace a simpler approach to this profound holiday. The cornerstone of a meaningful Shavuos lies in embracing Simchas Yontif—holiday joy—as a biblical commandment according to the Shagas Aryeh. This means practical, tangible actions: giving your spouse the credit card for new clothes, buying children their favorite candies and toys, and preparing delicious meals featuring quality meats. Whether you choose a modest $20 bottle of Cordova or splurge on a $50 Shiloh Cabernet Secret Reserve, the goal is straightforward happiness, not perfection.Preparation transforms the Shavuos experience. Men should visit the mikvah, get haircuts, and ensure the home is ready. Women play a crucial role in creating a joyful atmosphere where everyone feels prepared for the holiday. Since we no longer have the Temple, approach your synagogue with reverence and genuine enthusiasm, particularly during the Shema, internalizing that Torah gives our lives meaning and purpose. The night of learning should be approached with authenticity—study the Mishneh Brura, explore the Gemara, take that 3 AM cholent break, then return with renewed focus to understand what God truly wants from you.What makes Shavuos extraordinary is how it elevates us from ordinary existence. The second day offers a unique opportunity to disconnect from distractions and reconnect with what truly matters. Without this holiday, "we would just all be Joe Schmoes," but Shavuos makes us special, providing the spiritual energy needed to renew our commitment to "Na'aseh v'Nishma" as we enter summer. Experience the joy of simplicity this Shavuos and discover how authentic celebration can transform your connection to tradition, family, and faith. How will you embrace the essence of Shavuos this year?Support the showJoin The Motivation Congregation WhatsApp community for daily motivational Torah content!Elevate your impact by becoming a TMC Emerald Donor!

This week we sit down with our oldest (and one of our most inspiring) members — Carmen Cordova, who's still crushing workouts at 77 years young .Carmen shares her journey growing up playing sports, living in Ecuador, discovering CrossFit back in 2013, and training with Kate even before that.

As a podcast host, I have had the profound honor of listening to and documenting the powerful stories of community members who have dedicated their lives to advocating for justice. Tina Cordova, the Co-Founder of the Tularosa Basin Downwinders Consortium, is a tireless advocate who has brought attention to the long-ignored consequences of nuclear testing in New Mexico. Her work illuminates the untold experiences of multiple communities who, in the aftermath of the Trinity Bomb detonation and subsequent nuclear tests conducted in New Mexico between 1945 and 1962, were unknowingly exposed to radiation. This exposure, carried by the wind and lingering in the environment for generations, has inflicted devastating deaths and long-term health consequences on countless families. Despite the well-documented link between radiation exposure and life-threatening illnesses such as cancer, the communities most affected—those who have suffered immeasurable loss and continue to endure the painful repercussions—have yet to receive the full recognition and justice they deserve. Their stories remain largely absent from mainstream historical narratives, making it all the more crucial to amplify their voices and demand accountability. We want to honor all who have lost their lives and those who keep their stories alive. Gracias Tina Cordova and the Tularosa Basin Downwinders Consortium. #Downwinders #JusticeForDownwinders #NuclearTestingImpact #RadiationExposure #TrinityTest #EnvironmentalJustice #HealthJustice #ForgottenVictims #TularosaBasin #RECAAmendment

Zephaniah was the only prophet descended from royalty—and it made him the perfect messenger to the king of Judah and God’s errant people. Big insights from Pastor Jeremy…

Paul was about to send two friends on a dangerous journey to Philippi. Not surprising. What qualified these men to be his messengers? Surprising! And their qualities challenge all Christians everywhere. A sermon that digs up a few hidden gems…

Send us a textIn this episode I discuss why people blame at the end or relationships, why we sometimes hide from responsibility, how we use anger as a shield, and why eating the blame can help you move forward.https://arammu.com/ Support the showhttps://www.risingphoenixpodcast.com

The prophet Samuel learned early on about needing for an open heart for whatever the Lord revealed—and this time it would make the ears of all Israel tingle…

The prophet Habakkuk uttered some of the most amazing prophecies in the Old Testament, and in only three chapters—and then his little book became a glorious musical…

Paul wanted more than assurances that his ministry to the Philippians counted for something in Heaven—he hoped to boast about it, too. This begs a powerful question: how does God measure our successes and failures in eternity? The answer is bigger than the question…

Pastor Brit digs into Paul’s show-trial before Roman Governor Felix—and unearths a valuable lesson for every follower of Jesus…

Pastor Jeremy plunges into the prophecies of Nahum—which continues where Jonah left off…!

The multitudes celebrating Passover that day in Jerusalem believed (for the moment) that Jesus was the right Messiah—but they didn't get the Messiah right—and they didn't notice how small they'd actually made Him. A Palm Sunday sermon (John 12)

Nahum was the prophet God chose to seal the doom of the Assyrians. They repented because of Jonah, but hundred years later they returned to their grotesque ways. It serves well as God’s warning from the distant past to the people of a decadent future…

The events of the Resurrection of Jesus were complicated and misunderstood—for a while—but a few weeks later, it would define life itself. What was God doing? Here it is…

At the far southern tip of the Yucatán Peninsula, in a tiny village untouched by time, Moy Cordova grew up with salt in his veins.

Surrounded by turquoise flats and hidden lagoons, his childhood in Xcalak, Mexico shaped a deep respect for the water and honed his gift for finding elusive fish.

Paul commanded the Philippians to ‘do everything without complaining or arguing’. It seems like a simple order, but it’s far more important than it sounds. The world is changed by our example, not our opinions…. (Philippians 2:14-15)

Pastor Jeremy continues his journey through the Minor Prophets—follow along, as he plunges into the prophecies of Micah.

Mary, Martha and Jesus—it was the perfect combination for a lesson in devotion and servanthood. Enjoy!

Sunday’s Sermon attacks one of the Bible’s great controversies: Paul commanded the Philippians to ‘work out your salvation with fear and trembling…’ But how can this be—especially in light of God’s indescribable grace? The answer is so simple—even offensive—especially for folks who follow Jesus on their own terms…

In this raw and powerful episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik Chakraborty sits down with Batrice Cordova, an entrepreneur, survivor, and advocate for resilience and empowerment, as she shares her deeply personal journey of overcoming childhood trauma, abusive relationships, addiction, and profound loss.

What is the recipe for developing deeper, more intimate relationships?  Breaking this all down in his new book, The Mindful Path to Intimacy, is couples therapist Dr. James Cordova, who talks to Yael about how true intimacy happens when vulnerability is met with warmth and acceptance and feeling safe being your real self with someone.  You'll hear some eye-opening research, including his “relationship checkup” method and how marriage therapy has evolved to focus on both behavior and acceptance.  If you are looking for ways to strengthen your relationship emotionally and physically—such as staying mindful, paying attention to one another, sexual intimacy, and making check-ins a regular habit—James has some extremely practical suggestions for you! Listen and Learn:  The true meaning of intimacy Balancing change and acceptance in relationships How can we stay open and kind when we hear something we don't want to? How mindfulness can transform intimacy The power of vulnerability and compassion in the face of conflict and how understanding your partner leads to a deeper connection Why our ancient instincts for self-protection clash with modern relationship needs How relational flexibility can transform your relationships How do daily hurts and unaddressed issues lead to distance in your relationship? The role "marital checkups" play in keeping intimacy alive and preventing relationship drift Why is sexual intimacy such a vulnerability trigger in relationships, and how can you address it?
