On today's page, Zevachim 67, we learn that a woman who vows to bring a pair of birds if she gives birth to a son must actually bring two pairs—one for her vow and one for her standing obligation. This layered requirement invites us to reflect on how faith is shaped not only by what we hope for but also by what we owe, grounding gratitude in something steadier than circumstance. How might our spiritual lives change when thankfulness is not transactional? Listen and find out.

Fr. Mike shares the powerful story of the Holy Spirit coming upon the apostles in the upper room.

Today's readings are Acts 2, Romans 2-3, and Proverbs 26:27-28. For the complete reading plan, visit ascensionpress.com/bibleinayear.

When Australian writer Hannah Kent first travelled to Iceland at the age of 17, she had never seen snow before, and didn't speak a word of Icelandic. Living in a remote part of Iceland during the dark winter, she fell in love with the country, its landscape and its people. This experience inspired her bestselling novel, Burial Rites. She has now returned to the country that formed her identity as a writer, with a new memoir, Always Home, Always Homesick. For this episode, she spoke to host Danielle Sands about her deep love of Iceland's landscape, its traditions and its people, how you can understand the history and culture of a country through its language, and how learning a new language can alter and enrich a writer's own identity.  Hannah Kent is the author of Burial Rites, Good People and Devotion. Her memoir about her lifelong connection to Iceland, Always Home, Always Homesick, is out now.  If you'd like to become a Member and get access to all our full conversations, plus all of our Members-only content, just visit intelligencesquared.com/membership to find out more.

In this episode, we explore one of the most comforting and misunderstood promises in Scripture: Romans 8:28. Even when life feels scattered, disappointing, or confusing, God is weaving every thread into something purposeful. Nothing is wasted. Not the pain, not the delay, not the setback. Today, your heart is going to rest in the truth that God is working all things together for your good — even the things you never would have chosen.Support Warfare Prayers Here

Devotion : Coming Down the Mountain / Luke 9:37-45 by Community Lutheran Church

Envision this furnace working at full capacity...

Do you ever get stuck in loops of overthinking, rumination, or obsessive thoughts that drain your joy and hijack your peace?This episode is for you.In today's solo teaching, Johanna breaks down a simple yet profoundly transformative tool: the Four Questions of Inquiry, inspired by Byron Katie's book, Loving What Is. This approach helps you untangle painful thoughts, soften emotional resistance, and free your nervous system from constant tension.This practice doesn't bypass your faith or your leadership. Instead, it creates mental clarity, emotional spaciousness, and spiritual receptivity, so you can hear God more clearly and move through life with softness, trust, and inner freedom.Johanna explains how inquiry works step-by-step using real examples, including the thought “I'm doing this wrong” and the everyday frustration of “my husband should pick up his socks.” You'll learn how to recognize the hidden thoughts that keep you tense, reactive, and disconnected, and how to release them so you can return to peace, presence, and feminine receptivity.She also shares how this process ties beautifully into the Heroine's Journey (the path of feminine wholeness), helping you move out of resistance, back into embodiment, and deeper into your divine assignment.Why certain thoughts feel “true” even when they're just mental noiseThe 4 Questions of Inquiry and how to use them with any painful thoughtHow to stop fighting reality, and why acceptance is not passivityThe difference between mental resistance and aligned actionHow rumination disconnects you from your feminine flow and presenceWhy inquiry creates emotional space for God's guidanceHow to use turnarounds to expand perspective and relieve sufferingHow inquiry can be used in relationships, marriage, business, and daily lifeHow inquiry supports the Heroine's Journey: wholeness, embodiment, and inner peace“You can be right or you can be at peace. Which one will you choose?”“Our thoughts are not truth — they're stories. Some lead to freedom, some lead to suffering.”“You can't rush inquiry. It's a softening into truth, not a performance.”“The moment you stop fighting reality, you free up enormous energy to receive what God is giving you.”FREE GIFTS

In a world obsessed with being seen, liked, and followed, we're invited to rediscover the transformative power of the secret place.Drawing from Matthew 6, this exploration of Jesus's Sermon on the Mount challenges us to examine our deepest motives: Are we performing our faith for applause, or are we pursuing genuine intimacy with God? The message unveils three essential spiritual practices: giving, praying, and fasting, not as religious obligations to showcase, but as sacred rhythms that reshape us from the inside out.

Devotion is often thought of as a "feeling". Actually, in Buddhism, it is based on logic. Jetsunma Ahkön Lhamo explains how if we wait for the "feeling" we will still be waiting when we die, without having achieved any result.Support the showFor more resources, teachings and practices, visit www.tara.org

Christ calls his soldiers to stand firm . . .

In Psalm 130, the psalmist teaches us that apart from God's grace and forgiveness, we cannot stand before Him. However, when we place our hope in Christ, we can experience His steadfast love and abundant redemption.

In this episode of the Jewish Inspiration Podcast, Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe explores Day 103 from the "Gate of Remembrance" in the Orchos Tzaddikim, emphasizing how servants of a king perform tasks with utmost speed, focus, and dedication—turning off distractions and channeling all their energy into fulfilling the king's needs. He draws parallels to serving Hashem, urging listeners to approach mitzvot with the same intensity: expressing gratitude meticulously, performing actions with grace and diligence, and investing in the highest quality items, like the finest menorah or mezuzah, as a true expression of love for God. Using the analogy of carefully selecting flowers for a spouse rather than grabbing anything haphazardly, Rabbi Wolbe stresses that mitzvot are not mere obligations but profound demonstrations of devotion, done lovingly and wholeheartedly without shortcuts or indifference.He categorizes mitzvot into three aspects: those of the heart, performed purely for Hashem without ulterior motives; those involving the entire body, such as physically engaging in prayer (Shuckling) or shopping for Shabbos to immerse oneself fully; and physical actions like shaking the lulav or sitting in a sukkah, which still require intentional focus beforehand. Rabbi Wolbe highlights the Talmudic teaching to expend up to a third of one's resources on perfecting a mitzvah, promising divine rewards far exceeding the investment when done sincerely. He warns against performing mitzvot for social recognition or personal gain, insisting all deeds be dedicated solely to Hashem's name.Recorded at TORCH Centre in the Levin Family Studios (B) to a live audience on March 24, 2025, in Houston, Texas.Released as Podcast on November 13, 2025_____________This series on Orchos Tzadikim/Ways of the Righteous is produced in partnership with Hachzek.Join the revolution of daily Mussar study at hachzek.com.We are using the Treasure of Life edition of the Orchos Tzadikkim (Published by Feldheim)_____________Listen, Subscribe & Share: Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/jewish-inspiration-podcast-rabbi-aryeh-wolbe/id1476610783Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4r0KfjMzmCNQbiNaZBCSU7) to stay inspired! Share 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:Our Mission is Connecting Jews & Judaism.
