Join Overseer Azizah R. Morrison, M.Div., for When Zion Travails as we continue our September series on Divine Activation with a powerful lesson on Activating Your Relationship with God.Your relationship with God is the most important relationship in your life. Out of it flows your identity, your purpose, and the way you walk in every other relationship. When our relationship with God is broken, our identity is broken, and our lives reflect that brokenness. Revelation of who He is only comes through relationship, and relationship with Him requires covenant and commitment.This teaching will stir you to pursue deeper intimacy with the Father, recommit to your covenant with Him, and receive fresh revelation that brings wholeness and transformation.

Hunter Witcraft explores the idea of theological method. What is it? How do we develop one? And, how can we do the work to put a good theological method into practice?--Scriptures Explored: Exodus 34:6-7; Nahum 1:2-3; Jonah 4:2; Joel 2:13; John 1:29; Mark 1:7; 1 Corinthians 15:3-4--Hunter Witcraft is married to Willa; we have two boys: Graham (3) and Benjamin (1). I have a M.Div. from Corban University, a MA in Christian Ministry from GCU, and a Post-Graduate Certificate in Biblical Languages from GCU. The Bible is God's Word to us, and for that reason, it is important for us to understand it (yes, we even have to work on the hard parts and the tricky parts). The Bible itself is a gift of grace from God to us – He was under no obligation to give it to us, and yet in it He has given us everything needed for life and godliness (2 Pet. 1:3). The Holy Spirit is active when we preach the Scripture and when we hear the Scripture, glorifying God and drawing us to Him; for that reason, I do what I can to accurately deliver the Word of God.--Connect with Us:contact@parableministries.comParable MinistriesInstagram--If you feel led to give to Parable Ministries, please visit: DonateMusic created by Chad HoffmanArtwork created by Anthony Kuenzi

Some directives in the Christian life are role-specific. Husbands are to love their wives as Christ loves the church, and wives are to submit to their husbands' loving spiritual leadership and show them respect (Eph 5:22, 25, 33; 1 Pet 3:1-2). Children are to obey and honor their parents (Eph 6:1-4). Employees are to serve their supervisors with sincerity (Eph 6:5-8; Col 3:23-24), and supervisors are to treat their workers with fairness and integrity (Eph 6:9; Col 4:1; Jam 5:4). Older women are to teach younger women to love their husbands and children, and to be pure and sensible (Tit 2:3-5), while older men are to be dignified, temperate, and sound in faith (Tit 2:2). Younger men are to be self-controlled, an example of good deeds, and sound in doctrine (Tit 2:6-8). Church members are instructed to support their pastors materially and respectfully (Gal 6:6; 1 Tim 5:17-18), and to use their spiritual gifts for the edification of the body (Rom 12:4-8; 1 Pet 4:10).

Reed Lessing discusses how his newest book helps you tackle the Book of Numbers with helpful maps, diagrams, and connections to the rest of the Bible.

What should we know about their role? What can our pastors today learn from them?How does Numbers equip us for the in-between times?What's the danger of not learning how to embrace the in-between times?We hear the Aaronic benediction in worship—give us a closer look at this blessing. Does it have a trinitarian framework?What is “Vitamin F” and why do we need it?Why is the ark of the covenant important?What can we learn from what you call “the worst day of Moses' life”?About the GuestDr. R.

Bob Clegg, M.Div. (August 17, 2025)

In this powerful 6 AM prayer gathering, Overseer Azizah R. Morrison, M.Div. teaches on activating your faith. Drawing from Hebrews 11 and 2 Timothy 1:6, she reveals how faith must be stirred, spoken, and demonstrated, and how true faith is always anchored in the finished work of the Cross.This message carries a prophetic charge to rise above fear, doubt, and delay, and to move mountains through the power of believing God. The atmosphere is saturated with prayer, intercession, and declarations that release healing, deliverance, and breakthrough.Listen, agree in faith, and activate what God has placed inside of you.

The attack on experts and science itself is part of the mind control strategy to control citizens. Before Trump came to power, the media would regularly call on me and top experts like Dr. Lee to shed light on issues concerning mental health and public health. This authoritarian control of information forces citizens concerned with the public good to do what we can to message. I have interviewed Dr. Lee previously, but as the world is now seeing what she and other experts predicted, I thought it was time to assess the current moment. Dr. Bandy X. Lee, M.D., M.Div., is a forensic psychiatrist and internationally recognized expert on dangerousness. She is the editor of the New York Times bestseller The Dangerous Case of Donald Trump: 27 Psychiatrists and Mental Health Experts Assess a President (2017). She followed up with The More Dangerous Case of Donald Trump: 40 Psychiatrists and Mental Health Experts Warn Anew (2024) and The Much More Dangerous Case of Donald Trump: 50 Psychiatrists and Mental Health Experts Warn Anew (2025). She has consistently been vocal on her views that President Donald Trump presents a Mental Health Emergency, which threatens our nation and the world. As it appears Trump's health is failing and the Epstein file coverup continues, it seems clear that Putin and other puppetmasters are beginning to make plans for Vance to become President. But will he command the allegiance of sworn Maga devotees? I think this moment is critical to reach out to form, or reconnect with family and friends and warmly ask them their thoughts on current policies. Listen to this interview for more insights.

Kristian Martin's side cared little for that and completed their Lazarus-like comeback with a win against Harrow St Mary's in Week 18.

What does it mean to lead the church toward vitality in a time of disruption, decline, and shifting cultural landscapes? In this episode, Loren sits down with Dr. F. Douglas Powe Jr., President of Phillips Theological Seminary.  Recorded live at the General Assembly of the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ), this conversation explores how seminaries and congregations alike can foster authentic belonging, support diverse pathways into ministry, and reimagine theological education for the future. Doug reflects on his first six months at Phillips, the seminary's bold tuition initiative, and the vision behind Bedford House—a new space designed to embody belonging for marginalized and underrepresented communities. He also shares his hopes for how churches can model unity and reconciliation in a divided world. Topics include: Why belonging must come before believing for new generations How Bedford House embodies Phillips Seminary's commitment to inclusion The challenges and opportunities of rural and small-church ministry Alternative pathways into ministry beyond the traditional M.Div. Why theological education must adapt without losing its core formation The role of social justice engagement in calling new leaders Dr. Powe's hopes for the church in an age of disruption and division   Rev. F. Douglas Powe Jr., PhD is President of Phillips Theological Seminary in Tulsa, Okla., where he leads the seminary in its work toward deep learning, faithful leadership and global impact.

Before leading Phillips, he served as Director of the Lewis Center for Church Leadership and James C. Logan Professor of Evangelism at Wesley Theological Seminary. His books include Sustaining While Disrupting, The Adept Church, and Transforming Evangelism. A graduate of Ohio Wesleyan University, Emory University's Candler School of Theology, and Emory's Graduate Division of Religion, Dr. Powe is widely sought after for his insights on faith, leadership, and the changing ministry environment.   Mentioned Resources:

It was not a pretty first game for most of the Div. I football teams and players of interest in South Dakota. But it was a "just win, baby" week for some.No. 3 South Dakota State stopped the "Go Go" offense of No. 15 Sacramento State all night, but the Jackrabbits didn't exactly make chest-thumping offensive waves themselves. How does that translate to a road game at perennial Top 5 powerhouse Montana State, who was pulverized 59-13 at FBS No. 7 Oregon?FCS No. 4 South Dakota threw Iowa State for an early 7-7 loop before the Cyclones blew them away, 55-7. Does that mean doom and gloom for Aidan Bouman and a USD offense that mustered just 34 yards in the second half? Or is ISU perhaps a tornado that will rip through the Big 12 and leave an easy cleanup for the Yotes in FCS play?Both Augustana and the Universtiy of Sioux Falls won nail biters, but in different ways. What are some easy assessments of their returning quarterbacks?And then, there was Jimmy Rogers' Washington State Jackrabbits, who needed a perfectly-executed two-minute drill at home to survive FCS Idaho, with a new coach and offense replacing former SDSU offensive coordinator Jason Eck. What do we make of Jimmy's more-than-blunt postgame remarks?There's also the all-time Jackrabbit Mark Gronowski's less-than-impressive Iowa debut and native son Kalen DeBoer's Alabama debacle at Florida State. How much should we curb our first week spasms? The Minnesota Vikings lift off on Monday night in Chicago. Why does typically pessimistic Matt Zimmer feel like he's boarding a rocket ship?The answers to these questions and more, all over cocktails on an idle Tuesday afternoon at the Gateway Lounge in Sioux Falls as Zim and Happy Hour host John Gaskins wet their football whistles — finally!

SUNDAY'S GUEST PASTOR Rev. Gabriel Lopez Co-Pastor of Iglesia Cristiana del Este de Whittier Gabriel is an immigrant from Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico. He was brought to the U.S. at the age of 7. His parents planted a church in Huntington Park, California in the early 90's and the church is now in East Whittier, Ca. His experience as an immigrant and as a pastor's kid has shaped his passion for ministry for the Latino/x/e context (immigrant, first- and second-generation Latino church). These experiences have made him a Puente-- a bridge -- between multiple generations and as someone who thirsts and hungers for justice for the most vulnerable. Gabriel is a graduate of the Claremont School of Theology, M.DIV, and is an ordained minister with the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ). He is married to Rev. Siobhan Lopez and they have a 7-year-old daughter, Metztli. He is a fan of Star Wars, sneakers, Rock en Español, and is a gamer.

     When reading through the New Testament, we see that God provides both general and specific directives to Christians. General directives include learning and applying God's Word (Rom 12:1-2; Col 3:16; 2 Tim 2:15; 1 Pet 2:2; Jam 1:22), loving others as Christ has loved us (John 13:34), being filled with and walking by the Spirit (Eph 5:18; Gal 5:16), submitting to governing authorities and paying taxes (Rom 13:1, 6), stimulating one another to love and good deeds (Heb 10:24), and not forsaking our assembling together (Heb 10:25). Believers are also called to live by faith (Heb 10:38; 11:6), seek godly wisdom (Jam 1:5), pursue peace with others (Rom 12:18), forgive one another (Col 3:13), speak graciously (Col 4:6), and show kindness (Eph 4:32; cf. Prov 3:3-4). Additional directives include edifying others (Rom 14:19; 1 Th 5:11), serving in love (Gal 5:13), doing good to all (Gal 6:10), seeking the best interests of others (Phil 2:3-4), rejoicing always, praying without ceasing, and giving thanks in everything (1 Th 5:16-18), and doing all for the glory of God (1 Cor 10:31).      Other instructions involve the inward spiritual life. Believers are to abide in Christ (John 15:4-5), present their bodies as living sacrifices (Rom 12:1), and renew their minds through Scripture so that they are transformed and not conformed to this world (Rom 12:2; Eph 4:23). We are to set our minds on things above (Col 3:1-2), and put on the new self—marked by compassion, humility, gentleness, patience, and love (Col 3:10-14). Paul urges believers to live without grumbling or disputing, so that we shine as lights in the world (Phil 2:14-15). We are also to restore sinning believers in gentleness (Gal 6:1), bear one another's burdens (Gal 6:2), and practice hospitality without complaint (Rom 12:13; 1 Pet 4:9). The Christian life is marked by moral purity—fleeing sexual immorality, glorifying God with our bodies (1 Cor 6:18-20; 1 Th 4:3-5), and remaining spiritually vigilant and prayerful (1 Pet 5:8; Eph 6:10-18).      Some directives are role-specific. Husbands are to love their wives as Christ loves the church, and wives are to submit to their husbands' loving spiritual leadership and show them respect (Eph 5:22, 25, 33; 1 Pet 3:1-2). Children are to obey and honor their parents (Eph 6:1-4). Employees are to serve their supervisors with sincerity (Eph 6:5-8; Col 3:23-24), and supervisors are to treat their workers with fairness and integrity (Eph 6:9; Col 4:1; Jam 5:4). Older women are to teach younger women to love their husbands and children, and to be pure and sensible (Tit 2:3-5), while older men are to be dignified, temperate, and sound in faith (Tit 2:2). Younger men are to be self-controlled, an example of good deeds, and sound in doctrine (Tit 2:6-8). Church members are instructed to support their pastors materially and respectfully (Gal 6:6; 1 Tim 5:17-18), and to use their spiritual gifts for the edification of the body (Rom 12:4-8; 1 Pet 4:10). We are to sing with thankfulness (Eph 5:19; Col 3:16), care for orphans and widows (Jam 1:27; 1 Tim 5:3-16), pray for all people—including leaders (1 Tim 2:1-2), and carry out church discipline when needed, with love and humility (1 Cor 5:1-13). Finally, Paul urges believers to flee youthful lusts and pursue righteousness, faith, love, and peace with a pure heart (2 Tim 2:22). Steven R. Cook, D.Min., M.Div.

Diváci ju poznajú z televíznych obrazoviek, filmov, ale aj divadelných dosiek. Herečka Eva Mores sa otvorila v úprimnom rozhovore v najnovšej epizóde relácie Ide o nás. V seriáli Sľub aktuálne stvárňuje postavu sudkyne Ivany Sklenárovej, ktorú považuje za vrchol svojej doterajšej práce. "Je to najkrajšia rola, akú som kedy hrala," uviedla bez zaváhania. Herečka sa však netají ani skúsenosťami, ktoré ju viedli urobiť odvážne kariére rozhodnutie. Pred časom odišla zo seriálu Nemocnica. Dočasne.  Ako priznala v relácii Ide o nás, jej odchod zo seriálu Nemocnica nebol rozmarom, ale principiálnym postojom. Kvalita scenárov a nelogický vývoj postáv klesli pod úroveň, ktorú bola ochotná akceptovať. „Bola som veľmi nahnevaná a a odišla som. Nešlo len o moju postavu, ale koncept samotný. V scenároch sa nedržali charaktery, v každom dieli bola moja postava iný človek. Ja si divákov vážim a cítim voči nim zodpovednosť. Myslím si, že slovenský divák si zaslúži viac," uviedla tiež v relácii. Do projektu sa neskôr vrátila - stalo sa tak so zmenou na poste hlavnej scenáristky. Kormidlo prevzala Hana Lasicová a podľa Moresovej sa aj kvalita opäť výrazne zdvihla. Rovnakú úprimnosť ako pri konverzácii o práci však 32-ročná rodáčka zo Žiliny prejavuje aj pri témach zo súkromia. Jedným z najdiskutovanejších aspektov jej života je rozhodnutie nemať vlastné deti, ktoré, ako priznáva, zásadne ovplyvnilo jej partnerské vzťahy. „Už som zažila, že som niekoho naozaj milovala a vedela som, že sa s ním musím rozísť, lebo on sa so mnou nikdy nerozíde. Ale ja mu tie deti proste nedám a viem, že on si zaslúži tdeti mať - proste už len preto, že to chce,“ odhalila otvorene osobnú spomienku. Práve táto životná filozofia a prežité skúsenosti formujú jej jedinečný pohľad na svet a empatiu voči ostatným. Pre Evu Mores nie je svet čierno-biely a snaží sa vyhýbať rýchlym súdom. V našom rozhovore sa dozviete aj prečo hrdinka populárnych televíznych projektov ako Sľub, Vina či Nemocnica neznáša leto? Ako jej práca v seriáloch pomáha zvládať vlastné emócie a prečo je pre ňu súcit jednou z najdôležitejších hodnôt? A dokáže odovzdať absolútnu dôveru do rúk režiséra? To všetko a omnoho viac v novej epizóde relácie Ide o nás.

Jason Miller and Dale and Juanita Ryan - The biblical story, including what we see lived out in the life and teachings of Jesus, is this: God is love, we are loved, we are capable of loving others and we are called to a life of love. Participating in this story is, however, not always easy for us. Instead of welcoming the love of God, we sometimes find ourselves afraid that God is angry, distant, displeased, uncaring, or impatient. Instead of celebrating that we are loved, we sometimes fear that we are not lovable, not enough, or not measuring up. Instead of rejoicing in our calling to love others, we sometimes see other people through the distorting lens of our fears and judgments.  This fall, we'll be hosting a workshop led by Dale and Juanita Ryan to explore these dynamics in community. Whether you're able to join us in person for the workshop or not, this episode will help you get to know Dale and Juanita, and to hear the heart behind their work.  Until his retirement, Dale Ryan was a member of the faculty at Fuller Theological Seminary where he taught pastoral care classes about addiction, abuse and trauma. Currently Dr. Ryan is the executive director of the National Association for Christian Recovery, which he founded in 1990. He has earned a PhD (UCDavis, Biochemistry) and an M.Div. (Bethel Theological Seminary, St. Paul, MN). Juanita Ryan is a mental health clinical nurse specialist. She has had a private counseling practice for over 35 years. Because she writes and speaks about spirituality and trauma, many of the people she works with are seeking help in these areas.  To learn more about her you can visit her website. Dale and Juanita have been married for 55 years. They have two sons and four grandkids. Most of what they know about distorted images of God, of self and of others comes from personal experience.

     Trials are not accidents in the Christian life; rather, they are divine appointments. Paul learned this when God allowed “a thorn in the flesh” to keep him from exalting himself (2 Cor 12:7-10). Instead of removing the trial, the Lord assured him, “My grace is sufficient for you, for power is perfected in weakness.” Paul's response was to “boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may dwell in me.” Likewise, we are told that suffering produces perseverance, proven character, and hope (Rom 5:3-4), and that we are to “consider it all joy…knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance” (Jam 1:2-4). God's hand is at work, as it was in Joseph's life, turning what others meant for evil into good (Gen 50:20).      Such trials teach us lessons we could learn no other way. The Psalmist wrote, “It is good for me that I was afflicted, that I may learn Your statutes” (Psa 119:71). In hardship, God promises His presence, saying, “Do not fear, for I am with you” (Isa 41:10), and His help, for “God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble” (Psa 46:1). We can rest in the truth that “God causes all things to work together for good” (Rom 8:28) and respond by choosing joy, prayer, and gratitude in all circumstances (1 Th 5:16-18). Trials may press us down, but in Christ they also lift us up, shaping us into people who reflect His strength, wisdom, and steadfast love. Steven R. Cook, D.Min., M.Div.

Vypočujte si podcast Impact Talks, v ktorom prinášame inšpiratívne príbehy o pomáhaní a búrame tabu spojené so slovom filantropia. Keď Juraj Fehervari prišiel v Sydney o prácu v reštaurácii, získal licenciu na predaj špeciálnych píšťaliek pre Nový Južný Wales a obiehal s nimi jarmoky. Úspech prišiel paradoxne po návrate domov, vďaka barefootovej obuvi, ktorá sa predáva v 70 krajinách. Juraj založil Be Lenka Foundation, podporuje ekologické iniciatívy aj vzdelávanie mladých, pomáha nemocniciam aj staniciam na záchranu zvierat. Prednášky či workshopy na komerčných akciách si necháva zaplatiť a peniaze posiela na účet Be Lenka Foundation. „Vypýtať si na Slovensku alebo v Čechách honorár nie je úplne sexi téma. Nepotrebujem na tom zarábať, ľuďom hovorím – pozrite sa, kam to posielate.“ V podcaste sa dozviete: ako pomáha spojenie barefoot obuvi s Guinnessovým rekordom, čo Juraj urobil pre nemocnicu po synovej liečbe, koľko krokov chôdze naboso prinesie duševnú pohodu, čo pre neho znamená karma-free biznis, a budete počuť aj špeciálnu píšťalku z Austrálie. Kto je Juraj Fehervari Zakladateľ a CEO značiek Be Lenka a Barebarics získal v roku 2022 titul EY Podnikateľ roka. Diváci ho poznajú ako jedného z investorov v televíznej šou Jama levova.

Impact Talks V podcaste Impact Talks vám predstavujeme osobnosti z biznisu, kultúry a športu, ktoré búrajú zaužívané predstavy o filantropii. Srdciarov, ktorí pomáhajú intuitívne, aj tých, ktorí sa snažia o čo najväčší spoločenský dopad. Lebo filantropia je pestrá a zďaleka nie je iba o rozdávaní peňazí. Impact Talks vám prináša Nadácia Pontis, ktorá sa dlhodobo venuje rozvíjaniu filantropie, sociálnych inovácií a zodpovedného podnikania.

When reading through the New Testament, we see that God provides both general and specific directives to Christians. General directives include learning and applying God's Word (Rom 12:1-2; Col 3:16; 2 Tim 2:15; 1 Pet 2:2; Jam 1:22), loving others as Christ has loved us (John 13:34), being filled with and walking by the Spirit (Eph 5:18; Gal 5:16), submitting to governing authorities and paying taxes (Rom 13:1, 6), stimulating one another to love and good deeds (Heb 10:24), and not forsaking our assembling together (Heb 10:25). Believers are also called to live by faith (Heb 10:38; 11:6), seek godly wisdom (Jam 1:5), pursue peace with others (Rom 12:18), forgive one another (Col 3:13), speak graciously (Col 4:6), and show kindness (Eph 4:32; cf. Prov 3:3-4). Additional directives include edifying others (Rom 14:19; 1 Th 5:11), serving in love (Gal 5:13), doing good to all (Gal 6:10), seeking the best interests of others (Phil 2:3-4), rejoicing always, praying without ceasing, and giving thanks in everything (1 Th 5:16-18), and doing all for the glory of God (1 Cor 10:31).

Rev. Dr. Matthew Harrison, president of The Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod, takes some time during the Gathering to talk about Christ's life and Christian love for all human life.   Bio: The Rev. Dr. Matthew C. Harrison has served as president of The Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod (LCMS) since 2010. As president, he is the chief ecclesiastical supervisor of the Synod and is responsible for the ministries directed by LCMS International Center staff, including the Office of International Mission and its nearly 150 missionaries serving around the globe. Before becoming president, Harrison served for nine years as executive director of LCMS World Relief and Human Care (2001–2010), which expended over $100 million for mercy efforts done in the clear name of Christ. These efforts included caring for people after 9-11, Katrina and many hurricanes, the great Asia tsunami, the Haiti earthquake, and many other disasters and humanitarian efforts. Harrison also managed relationships with some 120 LCMS Recognized Service Organizations and other inter-Lutheran social ministry organizations, worked in consultation with LCMS partner/sister churches to build capacity during numerous mercy outreach efforts, and managed LCMS pro-life efforts. From 1995 to 2001, Harrison served as pastor of Zion Lutheran Church in Fort Wayne, Ind. Prior to that, he served St. Peter's Lutheran Church in Westgate, Iowa (1991–1995). Ordained in 1991, he has served in a number of elected and appointed positions in the LCMS and on various entity boards of directors. Harrison is co-founder and chairman of the board of The International Lutheran Society of Wittenberg (Old Latin School), which hosts some 40 students and church planters from the European Union and beyond who are studying to become ordained pastors. In addition, Harrison chairs the board of the Lutheran Center for Religious Liberty and serves on the executive committee of the International Lutheran Council. Harrison is also active in the prolife movement and frequently speaks at such events. A native of Sioux City, Iowa, Harrison holds a bachelor's degree in religious studies from Morningside University in Sioux City, Iowa. He attended Concordia University, Nebraska, in 1984. He has M.Div. and S.T.M. degrees from Concordia Theological Seminary, Fort Wayne. Harrison has pursued additional graduate study at Concordia Seminary, St. Louis, and Concordia Theological Seminary, Fort Wayne. Furthermore, he has received honorary doctorates from Concordia University Ann Arbor, Ann Arbor, Mich., and Concordia Theological Seminary, Fort Wayne. Since 2010, Harrison has served as assistant pastor of Village Lutheran Church, Ladue, Mo. He has translated and edited five volumes of essays and letters by Lutheran theologian Hermann Sasse (published through Concordia Publishing House [CPH]). He has also revised C.F.W. Walther's The Church and the Office of the Ministry (CPH) and written several other books, including Christ Have Mercy, A Little Book on Joy and At Home in the House of My Fathers. Harrison has been married to Kathy (Schimm) Harrison since 1981, and they have two sons (Matthew M.L. married to Courtney, and Mark M.C. married to Tara). The Harrisons have two grandchildren, Rosie and Shiloh. In his spare time, Harrison enjoys reading, writing, vintage Jeeps, old banjos and books, and — most of all — time with family.
