Interracial Marriage is critical to the reasons for a priesthood/temple ban on black LDS Church members. For many years, the official position of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS) was that “it is not known precisely why, how, or when this restriction [on the priesthood for male members of African descent] began in the church.” However, historical research utilizing early records suggests that the origins of the ban are quite specific, pointing to a confluence of events involving race and interracial sexual relations (often called “amalgamation” or “miscegenation” at the time) that served as the primary catalyst. https://youtu.be/V3DtkTfLazM Don't miss our other conversations on the priesthood ban: https://gospeltangents.com/mormon_history/racial-priesthood-temple-ban/ Copyright © 2025 Gospel Tangents All Rights Reserved 0:00 Meet Stassi Cram Priesthood Before the Prejudice (1830–1846) Contradicting later restrictions, evidence shows that Black men held the priesthood and participated in temple ordinances during the earliest decades of the Church. Black Pete, the first Black convert, was baptized in 1830 and served a mission in Ohio, likely performing baptisms in January 1831. Elijah Abel, perhaps the most famous early Black Mormon, was ordained an Elder and then a Seventy in 1836, received his washing and anointing ordinance in the Kirtland Temple, and participated in baptisms for the dead in the 1840s. Joseph Ball was ordained a high priest and served as a branch president in Lowell, Massachusetts, after Joseph Smith’s death in 1844. Ball was also slated to receive his temple endowment in Nauvoo in 1845. Walker Lewis, baptized in 1843, was ordained an Elder by William Smith, and was later referred to by Brigham Young in 1847 as “one of the best elders an African in Lowell,” [Massachusetts.] Furthermore, marriage between Black and white members was not automatically prohibitive; John Teague, a white Irishman, joined the church in 1842 with his Black wife, Evelyn Wilbur, and John was ordained a priest and then an elder. These facts confirm that no formal priesthood restrictions existed before 1847. Interracial Marriage Crisis of 1847 The shift from granting the priesthood to prohibiting it appears to have been driven by the highly visible, controversial interracial relationships of two Black elders in 1846 and 1847. Warner McCary and Interracial Polygamy: McCary, a freed slave who claimed to be part Indian, was baptized by Apostle Orson Hyde in 1846. Some believe he was ordained an Elder, but this is disputed. In 1847, McCary married Lucy Stanton, a white woman, with Orson Hyde performing the wedding. McCary later caused outrage in Winter Quarters by engaging in “sealing ceremonies” with white women that included sexual intercourse witnessed by his wife. Church leaders quickly expelled McCary from the camp. Brigham Young expressed concern about “amalgamation,” or race mixing, during a meeting where McCary was discussed. Enoch Lewis and the Mixed-Race Child: Simultaneously, in Massachusetts, Enoch Lewis (son of Elder Q. Walker Lewis) married Matilda Webster, a white woman, in 1846, and they had a mixed-race infant girl in 1847. Mission president William Applebee was so disgusted upon meeting the couple and their child that he wrote a dismayed report to Brigham Young asking if it was “the order of God to be tolerated in this church to ordain negroes to the priesthood” and allow amalgamation. When Brigham Young received Applebee’s report in October 1847, he responded strongly, stating that when Black and White people “mingle seed it is death to all” and that if they were far away from non-Mormons, they would “all be killed.” Following these cases, Brigham Young privately claimed that “black-white sexual relations were against the law of God and advocated death to all who participated.” This reaction was fueled by a desire to stop interracial marriage & led to the institutional restriction. The ban was publicly affirmed on February 15, 1852, when Brigham Young addressed the Utah territorial legislature and espoused the Curse of Cain doctrine, stating that the mark of Cain “is seen in the face of every negro on the earth” and declaring that any man “having one drop of seed of Cain in him cannot hold the priesthood.” Elephant in the Room: Racism While interracial relationships may have been the catalyst that triggered the ban, many argue that this analysis ignores the underlying issue: pre-existing racial prejudice. Marguerite Driessen notes, “interracial marriage can cause no problems and it can result in no bad consequences at all unless there’s already racial prejudice to begin with.” The underlying racism allowed church leaders to: Ignore precedents like Elijah Abel's ordination. Contort accepted doctrine to justify exclusion. For example, the Second Article of Faith states that humans will be punished for their own sins, not Adam’s transgression, yet the priesthood ban relied on the “curse of Cain,” effectively punishing Black individuals for the sins of an ancestor. The notion of “accursed lineage” derived from the Book of Abraham’s account of Egyptus, which was used to justify denying saving ordinances based solely on lineage, a factor over which people have “no agency or control.” Thus, the events of 1847-1852 did not create the prejudice, but rather offered a convenient, concrete focus for leaders to impose restrictions that many members and leaders were already culturally inclined to accept. The ban was the result of church policy, not doctrine, and was maintained because the congregation was unwilling to fully accept equality until the 1978 revelation ended the restriction.

On Friday the Nevada County District Attorney's Office released a statement in regard to multiple violent assaults which have taken place around the county over the past several months. The statement addresses public concern that the incidents may all be linked to the same group of young adults.Scammers target Nevada County elder adults through letters received in the mail.A Grass Valley man has been arrested after a tip led to an animal cruelty investigation that uncovered more than 200 cases of animal abuse. 

In Job 20 Zophar advances his second round of argumentation. He contends, that the wicked always suffer; and since you, Job, are suffering it follows that you must be wicked. The arguments are going round in circles and getting nowhere. Job, says Zophar, you insult our understanding. From the time of Creation, he says, it has been evident that the wicked have always suffered. They're scorning for the ways of the LORD is but momentary. And the wealth that the scorners have accumulated is merely laid in store for the just. How exotic and colourful is the language that Zophar uses. The Almighty will swiftly bring retribution upon the hypocrites is his contention. Zophar was correct in stating that the time will come when the LORD punishes the hypocrites. But he was totally wrong as to the timing of the recompense. Our Sovereign is patient and not willing that any should perish. God is patient in the hope that people will respond, consider 2 Peter 3verses8-9; 1 Timothy 2verses3-7. Zephaniah's theme is expressed in chapter 2verses3. The message is timeless and comes to us today with as much power and compulsion as it did in the prophet's day. Slowly read aloud, pause and ponder. Verses 4-5 deal with the judgments that would befall Judah's southern neighbours when the Babylonian invasion would soon overtake God's people. However, verses 6 and 7 tell of a coming time of peace and restoration. The 9th to 11th verses speak of the taunts of the Moabites and Ammonites and Yahweh's determined response. Verse 12 speaks of wrath falling on the Cushites of Northern Africa (including the Egyptians). Then finally the Almighty will bring judgment on the oppressing power of the Assyrian (Nineveh) told of in verses 13-16. It would become a waste, a desolate howling wilderness inhabited by wild beasts and birds of prey. The pride of the Chaldeans would be brought low by the LORD God omnipotent. Let us seek the LORD our God with all our heart so that it will be our Father's good pleasure to give the kingdom to His childrenverses see Matthew 25verses34-40. The first of John's 3 letters was written between 85-98 AD by the aged and much beloved Apostle. He was one of the Lord's special 3 - Peter, James and John - who were selected by Jesus from among the 12 to witness select events and miracles. Together with his brother James, they were both fishermen and partners of Peter and Andrew in the fishing business. Their father Zebedee and his wife Salome appear to have owned the Galilean business. Salome seems to have been Mary's sister, making the two Apostles first cousins of our Lord Jesus Christ. Peter and John were paired by the Lord Jesus for various tasks   including preaching. Peter may well have been the oldest of the Apostles and John the youngest. Peter died first as was prophesied by the Lord Jesus Christ around 67 AD; while John died up to 40, or more years after that time (see John 21verses20-24). There are many internal evidence to the fact that the epistles of John and the book of Revelation were written towards the end of the first century AD (Revelation being the last writing of the New Testament; written after John's exile to the island of Patmos in 96 AD under the Emperor Trajan). John describes himself in each of the three letters as, "the Elder". The vitally important themes of chapter 1 describe God's terms for forgiving usverses 1. Confession and repentance 2. Being in Christ by baptism - the blood of Christ cleanses us 3. Also teaching us about "propitiation" - Rom 3verses Greek word is hilasterion, which is translated as "mercy seat" in the book of Hebrews and it means 'chair, THRONE; MEETING PLACE' Romans 3 tells us that God is enthroned in Jesus Christ and for this reason he is the ONLY place where God will meet with men. Verses 1-4 of chapter 1 speaks of what we heard from the beginning. Which beginning, we ask? The gospel of John tells us, 1verses1 "In the beginning". This was the birth of the Son of God - see verses 9-18 which speaks of the time when our Lord came into being (compare Acts 10verses35-43). They knew the Lord, ate with him, walked and talked with him. And to know our Lord was to understand His Father; and in that knowing was eternal life (John 17verses1-3). And the understanding of this good news (gospel) would lead to everlasting life in the kingdom of God, which will be set up at our Lord's coming (2 Timothy 4verses1). The sharing of this understanding brings fellowship in joining together in partaking of the bread and wine (communion means sharing together); and also joy unspeakable. Verses 5-10 deal with, "Walking in the light". Again, a comparison with chapter 1 of John's gospel record, shows the significance of light to the walk of the disciple - here Jesus is described as a light imparting source (phos - such as the light of the sun), contrasted to the light (luchnos - portable lamp) of the disciple John the Baptist. The three great themes of John's first letter areverses 1) God is light; 2) God is life; and 3) God is love. The theme that "God is light flows from the first letter 1verses5-2verses6. The Apostle speaks in absolutes, black and white; and so, he says, that there is no hint of any shadow (cp James 1verses17). Wrong behaviour, says John, is evidence of not understanding the relationship believers have with the Father and His Son. Of course, believers sin through weakness, but it is not in character with them to wilfully choose a life of sin. But as long as we are endeavouring to follow in Christ's footsteps we will be forgiven upon confession of our sins. Verse 8 tells us that if we deny that our nature is biased to sin; or that we are not sinning; we are self-deceived. However, forgiveness is available to those in Christ who confess and forsake their sins. But, chapter 2 commences, "we have an advocate in the heavens in our Lord Jesus Christ. The word “advocate” is a kindred word to the "comforter" (used in the gospel record in John; which the Lord was himself - and when he departed for heaven to be our priestly mediator; the Holy Spirit was sent by Jesus as another "comforter"). The word used here speaks of a defender in a court of law. The Greek word means, "I call and he runs to my side to aid me". Our heartfelt confession and repentance means we need not fear rejection since the Lord Jesus Christ has provided a "place of introduction for us to God's mercy - the word "propitiation" (see Romans 3verses21-26; 8verses27-39; compare with Ephesians 2verses1-22). The basis for our acceptance before God is "Jesus Christ the righteous". The righteous forgiveness provided by the LORD induces a moral imperative to walk in the way of the Almighty (Psalm 130). Chapter 2verses5-2verses29 is the connection between God being light (phos illumination as opposed to reflection); and God being love. In fact, because He is love it is essential that He be an Illuminating source to His children through the Word of God (cp 1 Timothy 2verses1-5; 2 Peter 3verses8-13). In verses 7-14 the aged Apostle restates the "new commandment" of Jesus Christ, which was new to the extent that agape love had never been demonstrated to that extent before in any man other than our Lord cp John 15verses9-17). The loving life of the disciple flows from an understanding mind that has been illuminated by the Word of the Father (Proverbs 4verses18-19). The confidence of the forgiven saint impels one upon the path of loving and self-sacrificing service to others. John writes to fathers, children and young men with the confidence that he will see the fruit of the word in their lives. He tells us from verses 15-17 that the perishing and transient world consists of no more than passions dominated by "the lust of the flesh" (these are the carnal appetites which tend to control what we do); "the lust of the eyes" (principally covetousness and our insatiable desire for more); and, "the pride of life" (the importance of being someone that is always greater than another). Christ conquered all of these through the heritage of his divine Sonship; and the Word of God impelling his every thought and action (Isaiah 11verses1-5). Verses 18 to 27 speak of the time of the development of the Antichrist among the believers (Greek "antechristos" from "ante" meaning the substitute, or usurper; and "christos" that is the Christ, Yahweh's Anointed). False   teaching is evidence of this; and was even apparent towards the end of the first century AD. In its fully blown development it turned into the apostasy of the Church described in the books of - Revelation; 1 Timothy 4verses1-5; and 2 Thessalonians 2verses1-12 and others. The true believers would resist corruption of teaching and practice through their immersion (anointing in/by the Word of God (1 Peter 1verses21-25; Titus 2verses11-15; 3verses1-11). Verses 28-29 express John's assurance that such believers will continue in the true course until the Lord Jesus Christ comes.

Vision, Discernment, and the Turning of the Seasonal YearThis week carries us toward the Solstice through a series of profound conversations between Sagittarius vision and Pisces depth. Beliefs are tested, dreams are refined, and intentions are asked to mature. Rather than pushing forward, these cycles invite listening, discernment, and a quieter kind of courage as the light begins its return.Tuesday, December 16: Sun in Sagittarius square Saturn in PiscesThe Seeker meets the Elder of ConsequenceThe Sun's drive for meaning and expansion meets Saturn's gravity in Pisces. Inspiration may feel slowed or questioned, yet this tension offers an initiation into wiser belief—vision that can endure uncertainty, limits, and time.Key invitation: Let your truth mature rather than harden or collapse.Reflection: Which belief or direction in my life is asking to be refined rather than abandoned?Friday, December 19: New Moon at 28° Sagittarius(conjunct Venus, square Saturn & Neptune in Pisces)This New Moon is tender and demanding. Venus infuses the lunation with longing, values, and love, while Saturn and Neptune challenge fantasy, idealization, and spiritual bypassing. What begins now asks for honesty, humility, and resonance rather than certainty.This is a moon for quiet intention—listening beneath desire to what is genuinely alive.Key invitation: Begin by releasing illusion, not by forcing clarity.Reflection: What am I being invited to begin by releasing illusion rather than chasing certainty?Sunday, December 21: Jupiter in Cancer square Chiron in AriesThe Great Nurturer meets the Wounded PioneerHere we meet the tension between caring for what is tender and trusting ourselves to act. Old wounds around confidence, protection, and belonging may surface—not to weaken us, but to restore courage through compassion.Key invitation: Let self-care strengthen bravery rather than replace it.Reflection: Where does tending my own vulnerability restore my confidence to act?Sunday, December 21 — Sun enters Capricorn (Winter Solstice  in the Northern Hemisphere)At the Solstice, the light turns quietly. Capricorn does not rush this moment—it commits. This is a threshold of orientation rather than action, inviting patience, responsibility, and a grounded sense of purpose that will unfold over time.Key invitation: Choose what you are willing to tend through the dark.Reflection: What inner responsibility am I ready to carry forward into the coming cycle?Podcast Poem: In the Bleak Midwinter by Rosemerry Wahtola TrommerSupport the showGo to Sheila's website for information for transformational resources: https://www.ontheedgesofchange.com/home-page This episode was co-created with generative AI, engaged as a soul-aligned ally in service of transformation.

In this interview I am once again joined by Dr Ben Joffe, anthropologist, occultist, and scholar practitioner of Tibetan Buddhism. Ben reveals the industry convention of guru ghostwriting in which spiritual teachers employ one or a team of writers to produce their dharma books, explains his collaborative process with Nida Chenagtsang on their latest Vajrayana book, and sheds light on his own editorial process. Ben discusses whether a scholar should have practice experience before translating religious texts, considers whether historical inaccuracies debunk the spiritual value of Buddhist scriptures, and raises questions about the origin of terma treasure texts. Ben also compares the Yuthok Nyinthig retreat format to the Abramelin Ritual of Western Occultism, details the signs of success in tantric practice, and shares Yuthok's promise to appear in bodily form to practitioners with sufficient devotion and attainment. … Video version: https://www.guruviking.com/podcast/ep337-guru-ghostwriting-tantric-retreat-dr-ben-joffe Also available on Youtube, iTunes, & Spotify – search ‘Guru Viking Podcast'. … Topics include: 00:00 - Intro 01:12 - Ghostwriting for gurus 08:03 - Lamas often don't write their books 10:24 - Ben's editorial process 18:32 - Is guru ghostwriting a dirty secret? 19:17 - Vajrayana jargon vs a felt sense 29:56 - What is a scholar practitioner? 37:39 - Ben's retreat experiences 41:13 - Did Yuthok the Elder really exist? 50:06 - Anachronisms and retroactive attribution in Tibetan historiography 51:57 - Origins of the Tibetan medical tantras (rgyud bzhi) 58:08 - Terma treasure texts: mystical revelation or an editorial process? 01:02:08 - Why have Western scholars been hesitant to question terma texts? 01:05:04 - Does critical scholarship debunk Buddhism? 01:10:55 - Medicine Buddha ex machina 01:12:45 - Referring out 01:13:24 - Encountering Yuthok vs the Holy Guardian Angel in the Abramelin Ritual 01:20:10 - Special 7-day Yuthok ngondro 01:24:10 - Is Yuthok Nyingthig the best tantric system? 01:28:27 - The power of aspiration prayers 01:30:53 - How long does it take to become fully enlightened? 01:33:51 - Practice according to number, time, or signs 01:34:54 - Mythic resonance of lineage 01:36:33 - Signs of spiritual progress 01:41:35 - Ben comments on the Abramelin Ritual 01:43:59 - Sumton's Yeshe Zung's devotional prayer 01:46:50 - Yuthok as a Mighty Dead 01:48:47 - Do Yuthok's promises cause ego inflation and delusion? 01:52:09 - Verifying dreams and spiritual signs 01:58:26 - How to connect with spiritual blessings 02:05:09 - What are blessings? 02:06:32 - Spiritual signs in the Jesuit tradition 02:08:49 - Ngondro as a hazing 02:10:55 - Do people expect to encounter Yuthok at Dr Nida's retreats? 02:15:38 - Dr Nida's approach vs traditional contexts 02:21:00 - Typical student profile and outcomes 02:29:28 - Permissive approach to tantric vows 02:32:37 - Pros and cons of laissez-faire tantric practice 02:33:28 - Charismatic founder stage

Questions? Thoughts? Comments? Leave me a voicemail message to use in a future podcast episode: https://www.speakpipe.com/timschmoyerComment on the full post here: https://read.timschmoyer.com/p/you-dont-have-what-it-takesA podcast listener named Christopher sent me a voice message and asked a very critical question about how we, as God-fearing men, actually gain the ability to live out a vision of fathering our homes, eldering our cities, and preparing for rulership in the Kingdom to come.“On this path of biblical eldership and male community leadership—in our homes and in our communities, with our families and those around us—where does the power come from to carry that out? I'm wondering if you could talk more about the Holy Spirit and inviting the Spirit into your life.”I love this! Christopher is asking the question that exposes whether Elder My City is actually biblical or just another self-improvement program with Scripture verses attached.Where does the power come from to live out this vision for men?Unfortunately, most Christian men approach leadership the same way we've been taught to approach sin: through self-management. Try harder. Get educated. Find accountability. Develop a strategy. Build better habits.I don't know about you, but I've found that it doesn't work. I tried it for decades.When I read about the elder qualifications in 1 Timothy 3 as someone who is temperate, self-controlled, respectable, able to teach, able to manage his household well, etc. I know it's easy to treat them like a checklist of Boy Scout merit badges, but I don't think these qualifications are merely accomplishments. They're describing fruit. And fruit isn't manufactured. It's produced.I Spent One Full Year Focused on Galatians 5There was a season of my life where I took this very seriously.For an entire year, I read Galatians 5 every morning before my feet touched the floor. Before I got out of bed. Before I went to the bathroom. Before I did anything. I wanted to embed this into my belief system. I intellectually agreed with the passage, but if my belief in it was low. Maybe at a two or a three. I wanted to believe it at an eight or a nine and experience the transformation I knew would come with it.Consider what Paul says:“But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh. For the desires of the flesh are against the Spirit, and the desires of the Spirit are against the flesh, for these are opposed to each other, to keep you from doing the things you want to do. But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law.” (Galatians 5:16-18)Paul then lists the works of the flesh—sexual immorality, fits of rage, rivalries, envy, all of it—and says those who do such things will not inherit the kingdom of God. Let that sink in. We can talk about the Kingdom, but if we miss this thing, we miss it.The way I read the passage is that the issue isn't the specific sins. Like, “Don't do these things.” Rather, it seems to me that the issue is that you're not being led by the Spirit.From there, Paul leads into the fruit of the Spirit.“But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. Against such things there is no law.” (Galatians 5:22-23)We lose something in English here: “fruit” is singular, not plural. We don't divide this up like, “Okay, I've got love, joy, and peace down, but I really need to work on patience.” That's not how it works. You have the singular fruit—the love-joy-peace-patience-kindness-goodness-faithfulness-gentleness-self-control fruit. It's all one package. You get the whole thing when you're living by the power of the Holy Spirit.This list as well as the character that qualifies a man for eldership are not something you manufacture through effort. It's something the Spirit produces through dependence. Which means the path from father to elder to ruler isn't primarily about trying harder to reduce sin and increase righteousness. It's about deepening dependence on the Holy Spirit.My Risky PrayerSo this became my prayer every morning:“Lord, teach me how to walk by your Spirit and not gratify the desires of my flesh. Teach me how to hear your Spirit's voice. I don't want to try harder to force more peace into my life. I want it to be the byproduct of having the Spirit active and alive and leading.”I'll tell you—if you pray that prayer and ask Him to teach you, be ready for what comes next.Here's what happened.I Failed My First TestI was walking through an airport terminal, on my way to catch a flight to speak at an event. And I look down ahead of me. I see some saltine crackers crushed up and ground into the carpet. And I had this little voice in my head. Not audible, but this strong feeling: “Clean those up.”What? No. I've got to get to my gate. I'm that guy who likes to arrive right when boarding starts. I don't want to sit at the gate forever and then sit on the plane for even longer.I'm staring at these crushed crackers as I walk toward them, and it's getting stronger. “Stop and clean up the crackers.”No, that's weird. Not my job. Someone else will do it.I walk past them. It gets stronger. “Turn around and go back and clean those up.”At this point I'm kind of yelling inside my head: “No, I'm going to just go get on the plane. This is weird.”I didn't do it. Got on the plane, flew away. The voice goes away.Then I asked: “Okay, was that you?”Immediately: “Yes.”“Why did I need to clean up the crackers?”I have no way of verifying this, but here's what came to mind: “There's someone back there who is now going to lose their job due to no fault of their own because you didn't clean up those crackers. And they really needed that job.”Okay. Give me another chance.The Second Test Was a StruggleA few weeks later. I'm walking into a store in a strip mall area. As I'm walking in, that feeling comes back: “Stop and pull those weeds you see outside that store.”What? Come on. When I think about the Spirit, I think about the magical fireworks from Bible stories. Not pulling weeds.“No, I don't want to. That's weird. I just want to buy my thing and leave.”I walk past the weeds, go into the store, do my thing. The whole time I'm wrestling. I passed up the crackers. Now you want me to pull weeds? Why does this Holy Spirit stuff start with cleaning?I walk out of the store. Walk past the weeds. Still having this little argument in my head.Then I stop. “Okay, I'll obey.”I turn around, go to the weeds, pull them, clean up the little area, throw them in the trash. I'm looking over my shoulder the whole time thinking people are going to think this is so weird. Security cameras. What's that guy doing?I get in my car. Slam the door a little extra hard because I'm a little irritated and I say out loud: “There, are you happy?”I'm embarrassed to tell you this, but that's the truth.I hear: “Yes. Was that so hard?”“No, but it's weird. I thought this would be different.”“This is how you learn to hear my voice. You start by obeying in the little things.”This is exactly the pattern of Luke 19. The servants were faithful with little and later the Master entrusted them with cities to rule. God was teaching me to recognize His voice in the small things so I'd know what it sounds like in the big things.I'm Learning to Hear His Voice and ObeyFast forward several years. I'm still practicing. I don't have a great batting average, but I'm getting better at listening and obeying. I know what His voice sounds like now, even when what He asks is uncomfortable.I'm doing a YouTube channel consultation with a very popular creator—hundreds of millions of views a month, making millions of dollars. She gets on a call with me because her channel is starting to decline.I look at her channel. I can find a few things to pick at, but nothing that explains the decline she's experiencing. I go through those things.Then in the middle of the call, I get that feeling. That thing comes back. And it says: “Tim, I want you to repeat after me.”My first reaction is, “Oh no. This is going to make me look bad… Okay. Not my will, but yours. Let's go.”So I repeated it as it came to my head. I had no idea what I was about to say.“I've never said anything like this before in a consultation. But here's what I think is going on with your channel. As a Christian, I believe that the Bible says in Job that ‘the Lord gives and the Lord takes away, blessed be the name of the Lord.' And I think maybe the Lord gave you this channel for a certain season of your life. But now that season is over. It's behind you. And that's why the channel is declining.”I stopped. I had no reason to think she had any faith background. She just kind of stared for a second, then kept talking like I hadn't said anything.That was so weird. So uncomfortable. So awkward.The next morning, I wake up to an email from her.“Tim, I'm writing this with tears in my eyes. I've been crying all evening and this morning. There's no way you could have known this.”She told me her husband now is not her first husband. Her first husband passed away on their honeymoon. It was the most difficult time of her life. She started exploring faith. She had a Bible, and she had underlined that exact passage—”the Lord gives and the Lord takes away, blessed be the name of the Lord.”She said she'd totally forgotten about that. She'd wandered from her faith, hadn't really practiced or thought about it.Then, sometime after that, she started having medical issues. She wasn't making much money and didn't know how she'd pay for the medical bills. So she started a YouTube channel, and it grew quickly. She started making money and paying for her treatments. A friend told her, “Maybe the Lord gave you this channel for this season of your life so you can pay for these medical bills.”She wrote: “When you quoted that verse and said ‘for this season of your life,' all of that came flooding back. You're right. The medical bills are behind me. That season is over. And I need to pursue my faith again.”I read that email and thought: I'm so glad that worked out. Because I have plenty of stories where it just ended awkwardly. But this is what happens when you learn to hear His voice in the little things—you recognize it in the moments that actually matter.What This Has to Do With EldershipHere's what's interesting. When Jesus talks about leaving to return to the Father, He says this:“Nevertheless, I tell you the truth: it is to your advantage that I go away, for if I do not go away, the Helper will not come to you. But if I go, I will send him to you… When the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all the truth...” - John 16:7, 13Jesus didn't say, “I'm leaving, and in my place I'm giving you a textbook to memorize so you can pass the final exam on judgment day.” He didn't give us a list of rules.He said the Spirit of truth would come and guide us into all truth. Paul says to walk by the Spirit and keep in step with the Spirit.He gave us a relationship. He gave us a Person. He gave us Himself, not just a book.And like any relationship, it takes time to build trust. You start with the little things. Crackers in an airport. Weeds at a strip mall. And it builds to the bigger things, like the words you speak in a consultation that bring a woman to tears, the decisions you make in your family, the wisdom you offer to younger men who are wrestling with the same things you've walked through.This is how we develop the character to manage resources and responsibilities and relationships. We learn to steward these things for the King based on His help, His partnership, literally being guided by Him, learning to depend on Him in every way, keeping in step with Him.Where the Power Comes FromSo, Christopher, back to your question: Where does the power come from to carry out this vision of biblical fatherhood and eldership?* “Walk by the Spirit.” (Galatians 5:16)* “Be led by the Spirit. (Galatians 5:18)* “Live by the Spirit.” (Galatians 5:25)* “Keep in step with the Spirit.” (Galatians 5:25)It starts with that feeling of “this is weird, this is uncomfortable,” and it grows from there into confidence—knowing that when it's uncomfortable, that's often how you know it's Him. When it's weird, that's how you know it's Him.Galatians 5:24 says those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. That's not a passive thing. Crucifying the flesh is active and ongoing. But we don't do it through white-knuckling. We don't do it by trying harder. We do it by living through the power of the Spirit.A man who feels fully capable of leading his home in his own strength will fail at inheriting the Kingdom. A man who knows he can't, who fathers his children and leads his wife and serves his community in constant, desperate dependence on the Holy Spirit, that's the man who's actually being prepared for greater responsibility. The practice of ruling with His Spirit now is preparation for ruling with Him in the Kingdom to come.Father your home by the Spirit. Elder your city by the Spirit.That's the only way any of this works. This is a public episode.

In this video, I'm sharing an early look at the ideas from my new book coming out in 2026—work that is very close to my heart. I've spent the last several years asking one big question: How do we give ourselves the best possible chance of becoming the healthy, joyful, connected 90-year-old we hope to be? Why is it that some people are able to stay committed to a plan… while others struggle, even when they truly want to feel better? If you're someone who has a hard time staying consistent, please know this book—and this conversation—is especially for you. I break our well-being into eight important buckets: Hormone Optimization, Nutrition, Movement, Body Composition, Sleep, Emotional Wellness, Relational Wellness & Intimacy, and Fun & Joy. These are the areas that shape how we age, how we feel day to day, and how we show up in our relationships. In today's video, I walk you through each of these buckets and share why tuning into what you already know is good for you can become the motivation that carries you forward. With small, intentional choices, we can begin shaping the elder version of ourselves—one step, one day, one decision at a time. I've also included a PDF of the “Best Elder Day” wheel if you'd like to reflect on where you are now and where you'd love to go. LINK - https://bit.ly/3MpwfJX My hope is simple: that this gives you clarity, encouragement, and a gentle path toward becoming the elder you dream of being.

It's the holiday season, which is primetime for scam artists — especially those who target the elderly.San Diego County's Elder Justice Task Force found that over a one-year period, seniors in the county were scammed out of more than $130 million.Wednesday on Midday Edition, we sit down with San Diego County District Attorney Summer Stephan talk about her office's efforts to curb these scams and what seniors and their loved ones need to know.Guest:Summer Stephan, San Diego County District Attorney

There is a stage of adulthood that no one talks about and no one prepares us for. It is the hardest stage to grow into. It is the stage we fear and try to avoid our whole life. But it's coming for all of us.No, it's not the mid-life crisis. It's the stage of becoming an elder. It doesn't mean we've turned 80. It means we no longer have an elder we can turn to for sage advice, and we have to step into that role ourself. It can happen when we're very young or very old, but there eventually comes a time, if we live long enough, when we become the one everyone leans on for support.In this podcast, I share 3 simple steps for how to step into this hard new role. I talk about how to face loneliness and being alone, old age and aging, and tapping into our inner strength and power. I discuss why it's painful, how to overcome it, and how to become the shining light of wisdom for ourself and others that we're all destined to be.*****If my words have ever touched your heart or helped you through a hard moment, I'd be deeply grateful for your support in keeping this podcast alive.

Is an elder always an Elder, or are they simply an elder—and how does that change what Peter says about them in chapter five? Tune in to today's episode to make sense of that sentence and to dive into the closing remarks of 1 Peter, with a view of leadership that resists the worldly temptation to wield authority over others. Instead, see how submitting to one another out of obedience to the Lord elevates our life together and amplifies our witness to the watching world. In this episode, the guys tie all the verses together to show how these concepts are lived out today, and challenge some translation choices along the way. Join us for the conclusion of our series on the book of 1 Peter, and feel free to drop any unanswered questions about the series on Facebook!

This is a week of threshold tensions and clarifications as Mars activates the mutable waters of Pisces and the fiery vision of Sagittarius, while Neptune turns direct at the final degree of Pisces, completing a 14-year collective initiation into dissolving old paradigms.Meanwhile, Mercury completes its transformative Scorpio cycle and re-enters Sagittarius—shifting us from excavation to meaning-making. Expect friction, truth-revelations, and a growing sense that something long dissolving is now giving way to new direction.Mon Dec 8: Mars in Sagittarius square Saturn in PiscesMars strides toward new horizons, only to meet Saturn as Elder of Sacred Limits asking: “Is your fire aligned with your deeper responsibilities? Are you acting from vision—or from impulse?” Productive friction clarifies the difference between inspired action and escapist momentum.Wed Dec 10: Neptune turns direct at 29° PiscesThe Dreamer-Mystic pauses at the threshold of a whole era, whispering: “What illusions have fallen away? What soul-truth is emerging from the mist?” A thin-veil moment—intuition strengthens, old confusion clears, and long-dormant inspiration stirs awake.• Mercury in Scorpio opposes Uranus in TaurusThe Storyteller faces the Awakener for the third time since Oct 29, bringing closure to a revelation cycle. This is the final crack in the old narrative: the truth you've been circling now reveals itself plainly. Liberation from a stubborn mindset that has finally run its course.Thurs Dec 11: Mercury in Scorpio trines Neptune in PiscesThe Intuitive Communicator is blessed by the Mystic Waters of Neptune—insights soften, imagination becomes coherent, inner truth finds language. Clarity through compassion; insight through tenderness.• Mercury re-enters SagittariusSagittarius welcomes the Messenger home: “Now that you've unearthed the depths, what is the meaning you are ready to articulate?” A new storyline begins—one shaped by wisdom, perspective, and possibility.Sun Dec 14: Mars in Sagittarius square Neptune in PiscesThe Adventurer meets the Mystic Fog of Neptune—action dissolves into mystery, purpose is tested, motives are purified.
