Heath Lambert addresses a question from a youth minister about how to guide young Christians seeking "closure" after relationships end. Discover how to recognize what people are really asking for beneath this vague term, and respond with biblical wisdom.TIMESTAMPS:0:00 Introduction and this week's topic on relationship closure0:35 Context: Youth minister's question about teenage breakups1:37 The problem with "closure" as a vague, undefined term2:35 How to help someone seeking closure: Ask questions and apply Scripture3:32 Category #1: Closure when mistreatment has occurred4:40 Biblical perspective: Reconciliation, not just "closure"5:50 Category #2: Desiring to recover a relationship or understand rejection6:52 The painful reality of unrequited feelings8:41 Finding security in God's love (Ephesians 1:7-8) rather than human approval10:02 Category #3: Confusion about the relationship seeking clarityKEY POINTS:- "Closure" is an ill-defined term that means different things to different people- When someone seeks closure, ask specific questions to understand what they're really seeking- Three common categories of what people mean by "closure":1. Mistreatment that needs addressing - When sin has occurred in the relationship- Biblical category: Reconciliation through confession and forgiveness- May be complicated by circumstances (especially if dangerous behavior occurred)2.Unreciprocated affection - When one person likes the other more- Reality: We must learn to respond maturely to rejection- No amount of "closure conversations" can change someone's feelings- Growth comes through finding security in God's lavish love (Ephesians 1:7-8)3. Genuine confusion seeking clarity - Understanding what happened- May be legitimate or may mask the desire for reconciliation- Can be appropriate when seeking growth-oriented feedback- Must approach with others-centered love, not selfish motivesSubmit your questions for future episodes to markedbyGrace@fbcjax.comSCRIPTURE REFERENCES:Ephesians 1:7-8 - "In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace, which he lavished upon us, in all wisdom and insight."

How are you giving others the opportunity to participate in your journey of generosity? In this episode, Jeff, Jeff, and Matt discuss: Desiring to do more and seeing God's blessings in life's challenges.Being willing to take risks and do anything necessary. Balancing life priorities with growing a business. Encouraging employees and family to engage in generosity and giving. Doing the work with God, not on your own.  Key Takeaways: Growing your business is important, but not more important than your faith, your family, and your health. When those are going well, your business will grow.Get into peer groups and mentorships as soon as you can. Even when opportunities are given to you, they do require work. When you can give back, share opportunities with others. Look for opportunities to give that are unique to your business and position.   "Balance - work towards it as early on in your career as you possibly can. You won't regret it. The work, the customer relationships, it will all take care of itself if you can focus and get your priorities straight and work on your faith, your relationships with your family, and with your spouse in particular." —  Matthew Hiltz About Matthew Hiltz: Matthew Hiltz is the Founder/CEO of Hiltz Propane Systems, Inc. in Marietta, PA.

They want to be teachers of the law, but they do not know what they are talking about or what they so confidently affirm. We know that the law is good if one uses it properly. We also know that the law is made not for the righteous but for lawbreakers and rebels, the ungodly and sinful, the unholy and irreligious; for those who kill their fathers or mothers, for murderers

This is a message by Bill Parker and taken from 1 Timothy 1:4-8. 1 Timothy 1:4 Neither give heed to fables and endless genealogies, which minister questions, rather than godly edifying which is in faith: so do. 5 Now the end of the commandment is charity out of a pure heart, and of a good conscience, and of faith unfeigned: 6 From which some having swerved have turned aside unto vain jangling; 7 Desiring to be teachers of the law; understanding neither what they say, nor whereof they affirm. 8 But we know that the law is good, if a man use it lawfully;

Reflections on Faith and Perseverance Expressing feelings of spiritual connection and gratitude. Feeling good and reflecting on David's Psalms. Quoting, "I love the Lord because," and feeling emotional every time it's read. Recalling a life-changing experience in an old building during a revival with Jeff. "It was just an old building... But that building changed my life." Expressing gratitude for a unique and personal communication with God. "When God talks to me, it's different than the way I've been talking to him before." Acknowledging God's ultimate sacrifice and love. "He loved you enough to die for you." Standing Firm in Faith: A Sermon on Daniel 3 Referencing Daniel Chapter 3, starting in verse 10. King Nebuchadnezzar's decree to worship a golden image under penalty of being cast into a fiery furnace. The story of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, who refused to worship the idol. Nebuchadnezzar's challenge: "who is that God that shall deliver you out of my hands?" Prayer and Seeking Strength Praying for God's presence and help. Thanking God for salvation and the ability to feel His presence. "Lord, I thank you for saving me, Father. Lord, I thank you for changing my life that night in Burma, Tennessee." Seeking strength and growth in faith. "Lord, I pray that I can grow stronger in you, Father." Expressing gratitude for God's love, even for those who don't reciprocate. "Lord, I thank you, Lord, that you put a love in my heart... for those that don't love me back, Father." Desiring to dedicate every breath to worshiping God. "Lord, I want to spend every last breath that I've got, Father... worshiping you." The Leper King and Standing Firm Discussing the importance of standing firm in faith and not backing down. Sharing the story of a leper king in Jerusalem who became king at 13. At 16, he was battling leprosy and could not move his right arm. Facing an army of Muslims (23,000 men) with only 5,000 men.

"If you die on this dragon, you'll die and go to hell." Praying with the young man, who ultimately declined to be saved at that moment.

Neil Young's most successful solo album is also considered his signature album.  Harvest was Young's fourth solo studio album, and it topped the Billboard 200 chart in the US for two weeks while also spawning two top 40 singles.  Young grew up in Winnipeg, Canada, and began playing and songwriting there in several groups.  His first success as a songwriter came for a song he wrote for The Guess Who which made it to the top 40 in Canada.  He was in the Mynah Birds, a Toronto group fronted by a young Rick James.  The Mynah Birds were attempting to get signed by Motown when James was arrested for being AWOL from the Navy reserves. Shortly after this, Neil Young and bassist Bruce Palmer sold the group's equipment, bought a hearse, and used it to move to Los Angeles.  He then worked as a session musician and a member of Buffalo Springfield before striking out on his own solo work while also joining Crosby, Stills & Nash.Harvest was written after an acoustic tour the previous year, a tour prompted by a back injury Young sustained that required him to play sitting down for an extended time.  The album contains significant acoustic elements, as several tracks he played on that tour would appear on the album.  Many of the lyrics are related to Young's growing relationship with actress Carrie Snodgress.  Young was a success before recording this album, and was able to bring in a number of session musicians on several tracks including Stephen Stills, Graham Nash, Linda Ronstadt, James Taylor, and the London Symphony Orchestra.Surprisingly, the album met mixed reviews when released, though over time the critics' assessments would turn much more positive.  The album was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame in 2015.Wayne brings us this California country-tinged album for this week's podcast. Heart of GoldOne of the tracks that arose from Neil Young's acoustic tour, this song topped the charts in the United States and Canada, and went to number 10 in the UK.  Despite its success, Young had mixed feelings about the popularity he gained from the song.  Linda Ronstadt and James Taylor provided backing vocals on this track.  The lyrics talk about a man who may be overthinking life, searching for something just beyond his grasp.Old ManThe origin of this song was an encounter that Neil Young had with the caretaker of the Broken Arrow Ranch, which Young purchased in 1970.  The old caretaker was not pleased with the young (literally) hippie-looking Young purchasing the place, and this song's lyrics talk about how the two of them were not that different.AlabamaA continuation of a diatribe from Young's “Southern Man,” this track condemns the racism of the white people in Alabama specifically, and the southern United States in general.  Neil Young would eventually come to see the lyrics as too accusatory, and too easy to misconstrue as a general condemnation of all Southerners.The Needle and the Damage DoneThe inspiration for this song was a number of musicians whom Young had observed as they fell apart due to heroin addiction.  More specifically, Young wrote this song about bandmate Danny Whitten, whom Young had to let go from his tour due to his heroin use. Whitten would die of an overdose shortly thereafter.ENTERTAINMENT TRACK:Cabaret by Liza Minnelli (from the motion picture “Cabaret”)Minnelli stars in this period musical drama based on the Broadway show, set in Germany before World War II. STAFF PICKS:Mother and Child Reunion by Paul SimonRob leads off the staff picks with a one of the earlier rock songs with reggae influences.  The song was written in response to a Jimmy Cliff song in which a mother receives a letter that her son had been killed in battle in Vietnam.  It was also inspired by Simon's loss of his dog.  The title was inspired by a menu item in a Chinese restaurant in New York - chicken and eggs - entitled “Mother and Child Reunion.”I'd Like to Teach the World to Sing (In Perfect Harmony) by the New SeekersBruce brings us a hit song which originally appeared as a commercial jingle.  Coca-Cola produced an ad called “hilltop” featuring young people of various races coming together over a Coke.  The success prompted a rewrite of the jingle into a full-length song, dropping the product references.  It became a big hit for both the New Seekers who recorded the radio jingle, and the Hillside Singers who recorded the television commercial.Let's Stay Together by Al GreenLynch features the song which hit the top of the US singles charts, and was named number one R&B song on the Billboard Year-end chart for 1972.  It has been covered by a number of artists, with Tina Turner being the most prominent.  It was also inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame in 1999. Do You Know What I Mean by Lee MichaelsWayne's closes out the staff picks with a song about a girl that a guy lost to his best friend after taking her for granted.  It reached number 6 on the Billboard Hot 100.  Lee Michaels came out of the San Francisco music scene, originally as a surf band before moving into a more "blue eyed soul" direction.  Van Halen opened for Lee Michaels at the Whiskey a Go Go in 1977. INSTRUMENTAL TRACK:Joy (feat. Tom Parker) by Apollo 100This jazz instrumental covers the baroque chorale "Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring" by J.S. Bach.  Thanks for listening to “What the Riff?!?” NOTE: To adjust the loudness of the music or voices, you may adjust the balance on your device.

1:1 Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the commandment of God our Saviour, and Lord Jesus Christ, which is our hope; 1:2 Unto Timothy, my own son in the faith: Grace, mercy, and peace, from God our Father and Jesus Christ our Lord. 1:3 As I besought thee to abide still at Ephesus, when I went into Macedonia, that thou mightest charge some that they teach no other doctrine, 1:4 Neither give heed to fables and endless genealogies, which minister questions, rather than godly edifying which is in faith: so do. 1:5 Now the end of the commandment is charity out of a pure heart, and of a good conscience, and of faith unfeigned: 1:6 From which some having swerved have turned aside unto vain jangling; 1:7 Desiring to be teachers of the law; understanding neither what they say, nor whereof they affirm. 1:8 But we know that the law is good, if a man use it lawfully; 1:9 Knowing this, that the law is not made for a righteous man, but for the lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly and for sinners, for unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers, 1:10 For whoremongers, for them that defile themselves with mankind, for menstealers, for liars, for perjured persons, and if there be any other thing that is contrary to sound doctrine; 1:11 According to the glorious gospel of the blessed God, which was committed to my trust. 1:12 And I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who hath enabled me, for that he counted me faithful, putting me into the ministry; 1:13 Who was before a blasphemer, and a persecutor, and injurious: but I obtained mercy, because I did it ignorantly in unbelief. 1:14 And the grace of our Lord was exceeding abundant with faith and love which is in Christ Jesus. 1:15 This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief. 1:16 Howbeit for this cause I obtained mercy, that in me first Jesus Christ might shew forth all longsuffering, for a pattern to them which should hereafter believe on him to life everlasting. 1:17 Now unto the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only wise God, be honour and glory for ever and ever. Amen.

The reason behind the importance of understanding these 3 things, listen to it!!

Right and wrong spirits develop in Christ's church. We can develop the spirit of Timothy or Judas. A Judas spirit will sell his Pastor for financial gain, and a spirit of Joab will undermine the authority of God's anointed ministry. If our attitude is correct, we will learn to submit to the Pastor's spirit and value it, for God shapes it for our development.

Are you truly a child of God? What does it mean to be adopted into His family? In this powerful devotional, Pastor Roderick Webster explores Galatians 4:1-7 and Ephesians 1:5, unveiling the beautiful truth of spiritual adoption and the privileges of being an heir of God through Christ.You'll discover: ✅ The gift of adoption in salvation✅ How adoption in Christ differs from earthly adoption✅ Why new believers are considered spiritual babies in need of the Word✅ The importance of desiring God's Word to grow spirituallyJoin us as we dive deep into this life-changing biblical truth and learn how to embrace your identity as a son or daughter of God!

The conversation examines how Jung's model of psychic energy may have influenced Deleuze and Guattari's reconceptualization of desire in Anti-Oedipus, particularly in the shift from a repressed, Oedipal unconscious to a dynamic model of desiring-production. Jung's tensions with Freud, his engagement with myth, and the role of archetypes as energetic processes rather than static typologies are central to the discussion, as is the way his work has been co-opted and misrepresented by figures like Jordan Peterson. The group also unpacks Jung's connections to Spinoza, his late-career interest in synchronicity, and how his Red Book offers a more radical and experiential engagement with the unconscious than his later, more systematized theories suggest.

February 2, 2025 | Breakthrough | Luke 18:1-14What does it take to find spiritual breakthrough in our lives?  Jesus teaches through two parables: the persistent widow and the humble tax collector, revealing the breakthrough prayer is marked by desperation, deep dependency on God, and total humility. We are called to pray earnestly and persistently, understanding that without God's intervention, we are hopeless. True breakthrough comes when we recognize our need for God and approach Him humbly, admitting we cannot do it on our own. As we pray for both personal and corporate breakthrough, we seek God's power, presence and provision to transform us and advance His kingdom.  Join us for our FAST: https://www.nbbctx.org/fast  Do you know JESUS? ⁠https://www.nbgilmer.org/do-you-know-jesus⁠ Need PRAYER? ⁠https://www.nbgilmer.org/pray⁠ Support through GIVING: ⁠https://www.nbbctx.org/giving⁠

Full Text of ReadingsWednesday of the Third Week in Ordinary Time Lectionary: 319The Saint of the day is Servant of God Brother JuniperServant of God Brother Juniper's Story “Would to God, my brothers, I had a whole forest of such Junipers,” said Francis of this holy friar. We don't know much about Juniper before he joined the friars in 1210. Francis sent him to establish “places” for the friars in Gualdo Tadino and Viterbo. When Saint Clare was dying, Juniper consoled her. He was devoted to the passion of Jesus and was known for his simplicity. Several stories about Juniper in the Little Flowers of St. Francis illustrate his exasperating generosity. Once Juniper was taking care of a sick man who had a craving to eat pig's feet. This helpful friar went to a nearby field, captured a pig and cut off one foot, and then served this meal to the sick man. The owner of the pig was furious and immediately went to Juniper's superior. When Juniper saw his mistake, he apologized profusely. He also ended up talking this angry man into donating the rest of the pig to the friars! Another time Juniper had been commanded to quit giving part of his clothing to the half-naked people he met on the road. Desiring to obey his superior, Juniper once told a man in need that he couldn't give the man his tunic, but he wouldn't prevent the man from taking it either. In time, the friars learned not to leave anything lying around, for Juniper would probably give it away. He died in 1258 and is buried at Ara Coeli Church in Rome. Reflection What can we make of Juniper? He certainly seems to be the first of many Franciscan “characters.” No doubt some of the stories about him have improved considerably in the retelling. Although the stories about Juniper may seem a little quaint, his virtues were not. He was humble because he knew the truth about God, himself, and others. He was patient because he was willing to suffer in his following of Jesus. Saint of the Day, Copyright Franciscan Media

'Saint Anthony, the Father of monks, was born in Egypt in 251 of pious parents who departed this life while he was yet young. On hearing the words of the Gospel: "If thou wilt be perfect, go and sell what thou hast, and give to the poor" (Matt. 19:21), he immediately put it into action. Distributing to the poor all he had, and fleeing from all the turmoil of the world, he departed to the desert. The manifold temptations he endured continually for the space of twenty years are incredible. His ascetical struggles by day and by night, whereby he mortified the uprisings of the passions and attained to the height of dispassion, surpass the bounds of nature; and the report of his deeds of virtue drew such a multitude to follow him, that the desert was transformed into a city, while he became, so to speak, the governor, lawgiver, and master-trainer of all the citizens of this newly-formed city. But the cities of the world also enjoyed the fruit of his virtue. When the Christians were being persecuted and put to death under Maximinus in 312, he hastened to their aid and consolation. When the Church was troubled by the Arians, he went with zeal to Alexandria in 335 and struggled against them in behalf of Orthodoxy. During this time, by the grace of his words, he also turned many unbelievers to Christ.   'He began his ascetical life outside his village of Coma in Upper Egypt, studying the ways of the ascetics and holy men there, and perfecting himself in the virtues of each until he surpassed them all. Desiring to increase his labours, he departed into the desert, and finding an abandoned fortress in the mountain, he made his dwelling in it, training himself in extreme fasting, unceasing prayer, and fierce conflicts with the demons. Here he remained, as mentioned above, about twenty years. Saint Athanasius the Great, who knew him personally and wrote his life, says that he came forth from the fortress "initiated in the mysteries and filled with the Spirit of God." Afterwards, because of the press of the faithful, who deprived him of his solitude, he was enlightened by God to journey with certain Bedouins, until he came to a mountain in the desert near the Red Sea, where he passed the remaining part of his life. Saint Athanasius says of him that "his countenance had a great and wonderful grace. This gift also he had from the Saviour. For if he were present in a great company of monks, and any one who did not know him previously wished to see him, immediately coming forward he passed by the rest, and hurried to Anthony, as though attracted by his appearance. Yet neither in height nor breadth was he conspicuous above others, but in the serenity of his manner and the purity of his soul."   'So passing his life, and becoming an example of virtue and a rule for monastics, he reposed on January 17 in the year 356, having lived together some 105 years.' (Great Horologion)   Speaking of the demonic temptations and struggles with the passions that beset those who seek their salvation, St Anthony said: "All these trials are to your advantage. Do away with temptation and no one will be saved."

As we kickstart 2025, episode 51 welcomes Father Bob Kraig, a priest in the Cleveland Catholic Diocese for over 50 years and a profound role model for living a life full of purpose. During our conversation, Kraig shares vulnerable stories about his relationship with God and why we all ought to dive into one of our own. In essence, faith is the cornerstone for embracing the messiness of our lives, and the rooting of ourselves in gratitude allows us to see God in our daily lives. For anyone desiring peace, stability, the "rock" in our lives, grace, joy, abundance, considering the topics of episode 51 is worthwhile. Be warned, though: you will not be the same after diving into this episode.  To stay up to date, follow the podcast on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/clark12joe/. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Thanks for checking out episode 50 of the "Chats with Clark" Podcast!

Mother Miriam Live - January 8th, 2025  Desiring to exalt the Holy Name of Jesus! Was it a sin for the Magi to use astrology to find Jesus? How do I fight my earthly will that doesn't want to fast? As a new mother is there any resources, I can use to teach my child before and after they are born? Is the Jewish version of Heaven the same as the Catholic one? Is it okay to have acupuncture done if medically necessary?

Desiring to live a life of Godliness is a noble goal, but like any goal, we need to know what it looks like before we can make a move toward it. In this message, Dr. Tony Evans looks at Godliness through the lens of Scripture—what it is, what it isn't, and why we should actively seek it.
