Podcasts about Exalt

Read OnlineTrue GreatnessJesus spoke to the crowds and to his disciples, saying, “The scribes and the Pharisees have taken their seat on the chair of Moses. Therefore, do and observe all things whatsoever they tell you, but do not follow their example. For they preach but they do not practice…” Matthew 23:1–3What does it mean to be truly great in God's eyes? In a world that prizes recognition, success, and honor, Jesus offers a radically different vision—one that exalts the lowly and humbles the proud.Today's Gospel takes place during the final week of Jesus' earthly life as He participates in the Passover celebrations in the Temple. Throughout that week, He faced ongoing opposition and envy from the very religious leaders entrusted with guiding God's people. Though these leaders gravely failed in their sacred duties, Jesus does not rebuke them out of resentment but with divine charity and a desire for their conversion. Of note, He does not address them directly, but speaks about them to the crowds and His disciples, humbling them through public correction. By doing so, Jesus makes it clear that His words are not merely a historical critique. They are a lasting teaching for every generation, offering timeless guidance for the Church and for every soul striving for holiness.The scribes and Pharisees held legitimate authority. Having “taken their seat on the chair of Moses,” they were official interpreters of the Law. Jesus does not condemn the office, only the corruption of those who occupied it. The faithful are instructed to follow the teachings that conform to God's law, even if the leaders' lives fall short. This reminds us that the efficacy of the Church's sacraments and teachings—entrusted today to the “chair of Peter”—depends not on the personal holiness of the minister, but on the divine authority of the office.What Jesus does condemn is the hypocrisy of the scribes and Pharisees. They impose heavy burdens without offering help. Their religious observance is external, not flowing from hearts aflame with love. They seek titles and status—honor without humility—and in doing so, distort the very Law they claim to uphold.Jesus contrasts this shallow religiosity with true holiness. He calls for interior conversion over external display. This message echoes the words of the prophets and resounds through the life of the Church, especially in the radiant witness of the saints. Time and again, we are reminded that humility and authenticity—not performance or prestige—mark the path of true discipleship.Though His rebukes are sharp, the heart of Jesus' message is love. He calls each of us to discover a higher form of greatness rooted in service, self-forgetfulness, and humility. “The greatest among you must be your servant. Whoever exalts himself will be humbled; but whoever humbles himself will be exalted” (Matthew 23:11–12). In these words, Jesus unveils the paradox of the Kingdom: To descend in humility is to ascend in glory.Though we may not sit on the chair of Moses or Peter, the sins of the scribes and Pharisees often echo in our own hearts. Their hypocrisy was outward—displays of piety, love of titles, and the burdening of others without compassion. Even without their authority or status, we may harbor what might be called a “hypocrisy of desire.” We long for recognition, crave influence, or quietly seek affirmation more than holiness. These hidden desires, even if never acted upon, reveal an interior disposition that mirrors the pride Jesus condemns.Reflect today on any desires within your heart that are selfish or self-elevating rather than humble and oriented toward service. True charity always seeks the good of the other first. And paradoxically, it is precisely this self-forgetful love that brings about our own exaltation—not by our striving, but by God's grace. Humble yourself, and God will lift you up. Exalt yourself, and your self-exaltation will be your only reward.Lord of perfect humility, You never exalted Yourself, despite Your being the Son of God and Second Person of the Most Holy Trinity. Teach me to imitate and participate in Your humility, permitting myself to be lifted up on Your Cross, living sacrificially for You and others. In that humble, selfless, and sacrificial love, may I one day also share in Your glory. Jesus, I trust in You.  Image: Sermon on the Mount, by August Stalins and Alfons JanssensSource: Free RSS feed from catholic-daily-reflections.com — Copyright © 2026 My Catholic Life! Inc.

QUOTES FOR REFLECTION“Smoke went up from his nostrils, and devouring fire from his mouth; glowing coals flamed forth from him. . . He bowed the heavens and came down; thick darkness was under his feet. He rode on a cherub and flew; he came swiftly on the wings of the wind. He made darkness his covering, his canopy around him, thick clouds dark with water. Out of the brightness before him hailstones and coals of fire broke through his clouds.”~Psalm 18:8, 9-12 (ESV) “What is obvious is the power of a religion whose secret is perhaps, simply, to get rid of the distance, the transcendence, and the remoteness of the divine… A present God this time; a God who is there, behind the door or the curtain, and asks only to show himself; a God without mystery; a good-guy God; almost a human being, a good American, someone who loves you one by one, listens to you if you talk to him, answers if you ask him to—God the friend, who has your best interests at heart.”~Bernard Henri-Levi, secular journalist experiencing an American megachurch “There is a paradox in Old Testament narrative ethics: on the one hand God is terribly demanding, he looks for nothing less than godlike perfect behavior, yet on the other, despite human failings, he does not forget his covenant loyalty to his people… Old Testament ethics are therefore, as much about grace as about law: they declare that God, the all-holy, is also God, the all-merciful.”~Gordon Wenham, Old Testament scholar “There is in God a sweet conjunction: majesty and meekness joined together: he is sweet and gentle, and holy majesty; and also a majestic meekness; an awful sweetness; a high, and great, and holy gentleness.”~Jonathan Edwards, American pastor “The God of the Bible localizes himself. In great condescension, the Lord of Hosts rends the heavens and comes down and dwells in the midst of his people. And he sets apart and makes holy the temple, the symbol of that dwelling; or he sets apart for his use Bible and cup and bread, in order that flesh and blood persons can see and remember and know that the holy God is in their company.”~Elizabeth Atchemeier, Old Testament scholarSERMON QUOTESPsalm 99 (ESV)1 The Lord reigns; let the peoples tremble!  He sits enthroned upon the cherubim; let the earth quake!2 The Lord is great in Zion;  he is exalted over all the peoples.3 Let them praise your great and awesome name!  Holy is he!4 The King in his might loves justice.  You have established equity; you have executed justice  and righteousness in Jacob.5 Exalt the Lord our God;  worship at his footstool!  Holy is he! 6 Moses and Aaron were among his priests,  Samuel also was among those who called upon his name.  They called to the Lord, and he answered them.7 In the pillar of the cloud he spoke to them;  they kept his testimonies  and the statute that he gave them. 8 O Lord our God, you answered them;  you were a forgiving God to them,  but an avenger of their wrongdoings.9 Exalt the Lord our God,  and worship at his holy mountain;  for the Lord our God is holy!

In this, the final sermon of C3 Nights' Postured series, Abby Edmeades looks at the closing chapters of David's life and his desire to see God exalted beyond his own lifetime.

Has our praise of God become too ordinary? Has our exalting of God's love declined into a weekly fist bump of acknowledgment? Join us in Psalm 103 as we elevate our praise.

This day I will begin to exalt you. [NKJV]

Florence continues the series "Lament, Trust and Praise", moving into the theme of praise through Psalm 118. The sermon's main message is that God's people are called to praise him not only when life is easy, but also in times of difficulty, because his love endures forever. She explains that Psalm 118 is full of confidence in God's steadfast love, mercy, goodness and faithfulness. The psalm may have been used at Passover, and Florence notes its strong connection to Jesus, especially as he approached the cross. The sermon follows five main responses from the psalm. First, we should thank the Lord for his enduring love. The repeated phrase "his love endures forever" reminds us that God's love outlasts every difficult circumstance. Florence encourages listeners to say this truth aloud and let it shape their perspective. Second, we should focus on the Lord in difficult situations. The psalmist is hard pressed and surrounded by enemies, yet he keeps returning to the truth that the Lord is with him and is his helper. Florence encourages believers to take refuge in God rather than relying ultimately on people or circumstances. Third, we should praise the Lord for what he has done. The psalm speaks of the Lord's right hand acting with power. Florence encourages specific praise, not vague thankfulness, and suggests remembering the many ways God has helped, protected and sustained us. Fourth, we should rejoice in the Lord's provision of a Saviour. Florence highlights the verse, "The stone the builders rejected has become the cornerstone," explaining that it points to Jesus. Though rejected by people, Jesus is God's chosen foundation. Through him, believers are saved from sin and given secure hope. Finally, we should exalt the Lord for his goodness and love. The psalm ends in personal praise: "You are my God, and I will praise you." Florence explains that praise means adoring God for who he is and thanking him for what he has done. The sermon closes by encouraging listeners to praise God throughout the week, especially when life is hard. 0:00 Introduction: Lament, Trust and Praise 0:39 Psalm 118: Praising God in Difficult Times 1:04 Praise in Every Circumstance 2:05 God's Enduring Love and Faithfulness 3:07 Five Bends in the Road 3:52 Give Thanks: His Love Endures Forever 7:13 Focus on the Lord in Difficulty 13:24 Praise the Lord for What He Has Done 20:39 The Rejected Stone Becomes the Cornerstone 25:46 Rejoice in the Day the Lord Has Made 29:53 Rejoice in the Lord's Provision of a Saviour 31:56 Exalt the Lord for His Goodness and Love

Come and Worship the Holy God Will Stueve Download Psalm 99,The Lord reigns; let the peoples tremble! He sits enthroned upon the cherubim; let the earth quake!2 The Lord is great in Zion; he is exalted over all the peoples.3 Let them praise your great and awesome name! Holy is he!4 The King in his might loves justice. You have established equity;you have executed justice and righteousness in Jacob.5 Exalt the Lord our God; worship at his footstool! Holy is he!6 Moses and Aaron were among his priests, Samuel also was among those who called upon his name. They called to the Lord, and he answered them.7 In the pillar of the cloud he spoke to them; they kept his testimonies and the statute that he gave them.8 O Lord our God, you answered them; you were a forgiving God to them, but an avenger of their wrongdoings.9 Exalt the Lord our God, and worship at his holy mountain; for the Lord our God is holy!This morning we sang one of the greatest hymns of the Christian faith, “Holy, Holy, Holy.” It was written by a man named Reginald Heber, who was an Anglican bishop and missionary to India.One source tells us that as Heber wrote this hymn, he was at a loss to come up with words that adequately described the character of God. That even as a gifted poet, he could not improve upon the simple phrase “holy, holy, holy,” the same words that the angels sing to God in heaven right now.Reginald Heber knew that God's holiness was simply beyond what words could describe. And that's what this psalm and this sermon is all about: describing the indescribable holiness of God.Psalm 99 is a call to worship the holy King of the universe. And it concludes a group of “kingship psalms” from 93-100 all celebrating the reign of the Lord.This psalm neatly divides into three parts, and as we work through it, it'll be like examining a diamond, as we look at God's holy character from three different angles with each part concluding with a call to worship the holy God…Verses 1-3 call us to worship God for his holy reign.Verses 4-5 call us to worship God for his holy justice.Verses 6-9 call us to worship God for his holy forgiveness.And we desperately need Psalm 99 today…God's holiness might be the aspect of his character that us fallen sinners understand the least. Many of the biggest problems people have with Christianity today at root, involve a failure to grasp the holiness of God…The problem of hell: how could a good God send anyone to hell? This question rests on the false assumption that people are basically good, that sin is not a big deal, and God should really just get over it.The problem of pluralism: Is there really only one way to God? Can't people just practice whatever religion they want? This question implies that the one true God is not in fact worthy of the worship of all of his creatures.The problem of God's law: The reality that God puts boundaries on our behavior. This is ok. This is not ok. And many respond today, “Nobody can dictate how I live my life except me.” All of these objections to Christianity fail to grasp the reality of God's holiness. And so my prayer for this sermon is that God would awaken in all of us a joyful trembling at the holiness of God. That our hearts would be in tune with the angels in heaven right now who day and night never cease to say,“holy, holy, holy, is the Lord God Almighty, who was and is and is to come!”1. Worship God for his holy reign.That's what verses 1-3 are saying…The Lord reigns; let the peoples tremble! He sits enthroned upon the cherubim; let the earth quake!2 The Lord is great in Zion; he is exalted over all the peoples.3 Let them praise your great and awesome name! Holy is he!The psalmist paints a picture for us here of all peoples and all creation in awestruck wonder before God's majesty. And he uses OT imagery here… He says God “sits enthroned upon the cherubim.” We know from the OT that cherubim functioned as guards of God's holy presence. After Adam and Eve sinned and were banished from the garden, a cherubim with a flaming sword guarded the entrance to God's presence. In the tabernacle and the temple, cherubim were over the mercy seat, symbolizing this same guarding of God's presence.The psalmist reminds us of this image to call to mind the holiness of God…Theologian Steve Wellum says that God's holiness is “an overarching way of describing God's sheer God-ness, which also entails all of his other divine perfections.”God's holiness is not really one attribute among many, but the aspect of God's character that pervades all of his attributes. So God's love is a holy love. His justice is a holy justice.God's holiness speaks to his utter uniqueness, his absolute transcendence, his infinite value, his perfect moral purity, his incomprehensible glory, and his unrivaled beauty. His “sheer God-ness.”As 1 John 1 says,“God is light. And in him is no darkness at all.”Think pure, perfect, blinding light. Think of going out on a hot summer day and having a staring contest with the sun shining in full strength.That's a small glimpse of what holiness is. And as we consider the doctrine of God's holiness, I think we're called to respond in two ways…First, tremble before him. Verse 1 says,“let the peoples tremble!”Likewise, Psalm 2:11 says“serve the Lord with fear and rejoice with trembling.”Michael Reeves puts it this way,“Trembling in wonder at God…is the key to true humility, which is not about trying to think less of yourself or trying to think of yourself less but about marveling more at him. A true and happy fear of God simply eclipses self.” So when you read the Bible… remember who's talking to you! Remember Isaiah 66:2, where God says,“this is the one to whom I will look, he who is humble, and contrite in spirit, and trembles at my word.”And when you pray… remember who you're talking to! Remember Ecclesiastes 5:2, don't “let your heart be hasty to utter a word before God, for God is in heaven and you are on earth.”My friend Jacob Barwig, who will, Lord willing, be planting King's Church with me, is someone that I would call a “pause-prayer.” A pause-prayer. Maybe some of you know what I mean.Most of us, when we go to pray, we just get right to it… “Dear Lord, thank you for this day…” But not Jacob. When he prays, he begins with a good pause. And I appreciate that about him!The last time we met I asked him like I usually do to close our time in prayer, thanking God for our meeting. And so we bowed our heads, and the pause began…And I'm thinking to myself … You know I really appreciate how Jacob prays, how he approaches God with a humble silence and reverence …And the pause kept going … and eventually Jacob looked up at me and said, “oh, did you want me to pray?”… That time, it was a miscommunication. But most of the time, Jacob helps me remember who I'm talking to when I pray!The point is: our lives should be marked by a happy fear. A joyful trembling at the Holy King who reigns, who is great in Zion, who is exalted over all the peoples!The second way we're called to respond to God's holiness: Be holy as he is holy.1 Peter 1 says,“As obedient children, do not be conformed to the passions of your former ignorance, but as he who called you is holy, you also be holy in all your conduct.”What a high calling! Be holy as God is holy! Be like God!And as we examine our own lives, it is easy to get discouraged by our lack of progress in the faith. It is easy to only see our failures to measure up. And paradoxically, the more we grow in our faith, the more we see just how holy God is, and how much we fall short of his glory!But as Robert Murray Mc'Cheyne once said,“For every one look at yourself, we must take ten looks to Christ.”Remember what Christ has done for you. We don't strive for holiness out of duty, but from a desire to please the One who loved us and gave himself for us! Let gratitude for the gospel drive you to holiness. Let Jesus's done be the fuel for your doing.And be encouraged that your growth in holiness is not something you do on your own. This is a work that God is doing in you. And that he has promised to complete for those who are in Christ.As we read in Romans 8, “those whom he foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son.”If you have trusted in Christ, if you belong to him. You are going to be like him one day. Blameless, spotless, holy. Let us remember that as we strive to be holy, even as God is holy. And this brings us to point two… 2. Worship God for his holy justice.Look with me at verses 4-5:The King in his might loves justice. You have established equity;you have executed justice and righteousness in Jacob.5 Exalt the Lord our God; worship at his footstool! Holy is he!As we turn the diamond of God's holy character, the psalmist shows us that God's holiness is demonstrated in his justice. We have had countless rulers and kings throughout history. And much of that story can be described with the phrase might makes right. In other words, whoever is the biggest and the strongest gets to be king, regardless of whether they're good or evil. Not so with the Lord. For the Lord, as one commentator says,“his is a might that loves what is right.”It's the King in his might who loves justice!Recently, I've been reading through the story of David in 1 & 2 Samuel. It's an absolutely epic narrative. But every time I read through it, I have the same roller-coaster experience …I see David's promising beginning as a humble shepherd boy, a man after God's own heart, who defeats Goliath against all odds. Then we see David the virtuous warrior on the run, who shows mercy to Saul and who is victorious in every battle because the Lord is with him. Then we see David enthroned as King, subduing all enemies under his feet and expanding the kingdom of God's reign … and we think … what could possibly go wrong? This is the guy! This is God's holy King!And then wham! 2 Samuel 11, where David sins spectacularly as he takes another man's wife and kills a faithful soldier … and the slow downfall of his kingdom begins.And after reading David's life, we say, “Oh for the perfect King! Oh that we would have a King that does not sin, who is not corrupted by power!”The Lord Jesus is that perfect, holy King. For us sinful human beings, power corrupts. Not so with Jesus. He is all-powerful and incorruptible. Perfect in power, perfect in love, perfect in purity. And every ruler that disappoints, every pastor that falls, every leader that stumbles, should cause our hearts to long for the absolutely perfect reign of King Jesus. Don't we long for the return of our King? Don't we long for him to right every wrong? To make all things new?For when Christ comes to judge the living and the dead, he will come in holy justice. So we can take comfort. As we live in a world full of sin and injustices, that seemingly go unpunished. We know that on the last day there is not one wrong that will not be righted. Every sin will be accounted for and justly punished, either on the cross or in hell.And we will worship God for this, just like the saints cry out in Revelation 19,“Hallelujah! Salvation and glory and power belong to our God, for his judgments are true and just; for he has judged the great prostitute who corrupted the earth with her immorality, and has avenged on her the blood of his servants.”In heaven, among the endless reasons we will have to praise God, we will praise him for his holy justice.We see this in the life of Charles Spurgeon…As his mother prayed for years for him to come to Christ, she said, “Now, Lord, if my children go on in their sins, it will not be from ignorance that they perish, and my soul must bear a swift witness against them at the day of judgment if they lay not hold of Christ.”She's saying, I love you my dear son, but if you continue to reject Christ, I will fully agree with God's just judgment against you on that day.That is a heart that treasures the holy justice of God. And that's what this psalm calls us to.Psalm 99 calls us to worship God for his holy reign. To worship him for his holy justice. And lastly…3. Worship God for his holy forgiveness.Look at verses 6-9 with me:Moses and Aaron were among his priests, Samuel also was among those who called upon his name. They called to the Lord, and he answered them.7 In the pillar of the cloud he spoke to them; they kept his testimonies and the statute that he gave them.8 O Lord our God, you answered them; you were a forgiving God to them, but an avenger of their wrongdoings.9 Exalt the Lord our God, and worship at his holy mountain; for the Lord our God is holy!In these verses, Moses, Aaron, and Samuel stand for the priesthood, which was the provision made for sin under the Old Covenant.When God's people disobeyed, these men called upon God to have mercy. And God both graciously forgave and justly disciplined his people.And of course, the daily sacrifices of bulls and goats, and the fallible priests of Moses, Aaron, and Samuel point us to the New Covenant, and our great High Priest, Jesus Christ, who gave himself for us once and for all.As Hebrews 9 puts it, 27 And just as it is appointed for man to die once, and after that comes judgment, 28 so Christ, having been offered once to bear the sins of many, will appear a second time, not to deal with sin but to save those who are eagerly waiting for him.The God of holy love who gave his one and only Son, that whoever would believe in him would not perish but would have eternal life.If you're not a Chistian, know that your days are numbered. Your death has already been determined by the sovereign God of the universe. And after death, comes judgment where you will stand face to face with your Maker. Have you called upon him yet? Are you trusting in the Lord Jesus and his work on the cross for the forgiveness of your sins? Psalm 99 tells us that God is a forgiving God. He does not forgive everyone. But he forgives every person who calls upon his name. So turn from your sin, and turn to Christ. And he will abundantly pardon you. He will cast your sins into the depths of the sea. He will separate your sins from you as far as the east is from the west. Call upon him today! Embrace his forgiveness today!And if you are a believer here today: Cherish the forgiveness of God! That through the blood of Christ we get to draw near to the perfectly holy God. That all-consuming Fire! We get to come before his throne! Before the throne of God above,I have a strong and perfect pleaA great High Priest whose name is love,who ever lives and pleads for me.The more we understand the holiness of God, the more we will cherish his forgiveness. And the more we cherish his forgiveness, the more we will walk in joyful, trembling, awestruck obedience to our King.As Psalm 130 says,“If you O LORD, should mark iniquities, O Lord, who could stand? But with you there is forgiveness, that you may be feared.”May we all cherish his forgiveness today.Let's pray…

We have walked together through one of the greatestpassages in all the Bible: Philippians 2:5–11. Today, we want to review what wehave been looking at over the last nine days. During these days, we have seenthe humility of Christ, the servanthood of Christ, the obedience of Christ, thesacrifice of Christ, the exaltation of Christ, and the lordship of JesusChrist. Now we come to the most important question of all: Will we let thismind be in us which also was in Christ Jesus? Pauldid not give this passage merely so that we could admire Jesus intellectually.He gave it to believers so that we would imitate Christ in a very practicalway. “Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus.” This is what wehave called the submissive mind. Remember, chapter one was the single mind—themind that is set on Jesus Christ and His gospel. The submissive mind is themindset that says, “Not my will, but God's. Not my glory, but His. Not myrights, but loving service.” Myfriend, this is the mindset that is the exact opposite of the spirit of theworld. The world says, “Promote yourself. Protect yourself. Exalt yourself.Demand your rights.” Jesus says, “Humble yourself. Serve others. Obey theFather. Glorify God.” Humility is not misery. It is the pathway to joy.Philippians, remember, is the epistle of joy. Joy flows from surrender. Prideproduces conflict, but humility produces unity. Pride says, “I deserve better.”Humility says, “I deserve judgment, yet God has given me grace.” Thisperspective changes everything. Thinkagain about the journey of Jesus in this passage. He was in the form of God. Heemptied Himself. He became a servant. He became man. He humbled Himself. Heobeyed unto death. God exalted Him. One day every knee will bow to Him. What aSavior! So how do we live out this life practically every day? First, everymorning we can begin by surrendering our minds to Jesus Christ. PrayPhilippians 2:5: “Lord, let Your mind be in me today,” and ask God to shapeyour thoughts, your attitudes, and your reactions. Second,intentionally look for ways to serve others. Humility grows through service.Sometimes the holiest moments happen in the ordinary acts of kindness in ourlives: encouraging someone who is discouraged, helping without recognition,listening patiently, meeting a practical need, choosing forgiveness instead ofresentment. Third, surrender your rights to the Lord. One of the greatestobstacles to unity is our insistence on personal rights and preferences. AsOswald Chambers said, “The only right you really have is the right to give upyour right to yourself.” The mind of Christ willingly lays down selfish demandsfor the good of others. Fourth,remember the cross daily. The cross destroys our pride because it reminds usthat we are sinners saved entirely by grace. When we stand at Calvary, boastingdisappears. Finally, keep your eyes on the exalted Christ. This old world isonly temporary. The kingdom of Jesus is eternal. One day every knee will bowand every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord. We should live in thelight of that coming day. Thismindset is something God wants us to have every day. Churches do not experiencerevival merely through better programs or louder preaching. Revival begins whenbelievers humble themselves before God. Families change when hearts become servanthearted. Churches become unified when believers stop demanding recognition.Communities are impacted when Christians live like Jesus. The world todaydesperately needs to see the mind of Christ lived out through His people. Today,as we close this series, choose humility. Choose obedience. Choose service.Choose surrender. Choose Jesus Christ.

What would you do with unlimited power, wealth, or influence? It's fun to imagine what that would be like, but for us, that's where it ends. In our imagination. For Jesus, it's reality. He has unlimited power and influence, and what Paul shows us in Philippians 2 is that he used that status not for his own advantage, but for ours.

This month we were honored to sit down with Professor Ortwin Renn to talk about the concept of polycrisis. Ortwin works with the World Academy Info Hub, Existential Threats and Risks to All InfoHub (EXTRA), as the Director of Systemic Risk Research. This episode is the second produced in collaboration with the join EXTRA/EXALT webinar “Is Extractivism a Prime Cause of the Polycrisis?” (see link below). Ortwin is social scientist focusing on risk governance who has had a long and storied career. Currently, he serves as a professor emeritus for environmental sociology and technology assessment at the University of Stuttgart and directs the non-profit company DIALOGIK, a research institute for the investigation of communication and participation processes. In our conversation we talk about sustainable practices and how they can be implemented in society. We start our conversation with how Ortwin got involved with sustainability and how he discovered his interest in social movements and particularly why people get involved in social movements, especially focuses on technology and how there can be a livable co-evolution between nature and society. Ortwin shared that one of the biggest developments he has seen over his career is that it used to feel like we were facing one crisis at a time, while today is feels like there are multiple, interconnected crisis. Join us for this insightful conversation on polycrisis and its existential and practical implications!Want to learn more about Ortwin's academic work?

This month we are delighted to be in conversation with Thomas Reuter, a Professor at the Asia Institute of The University of Melbourne. His research focuses on transformative social change, food systems, and transitions to sustainability in Asia and beyond. He is on the board of the World Academy (WAAS) and serves as the Chair of the Existential Threats and Risks to All InfoHub (EXTRA). In this conversation we learned about Thomas' academic development and how he got interested in extractivism as a concept. Thomas has worked extensively in Indonesia, especially looking at the food systems and the devastating effects of plantation agriculture. Thomas gives us some insight into the enduring colonial legacy in modern extractivist ventures. We started the conversation learning about the changes in Indonesia over the past several decades, from the dominance of subsistence agriculture to “modern” monocultural agriculture. The knock-on effects from this “development” extend to land use, health, labor relations, and the rise of cash economies, among many others. We discussed the role of consumption and our societal values and their environmental impact. Join us for this wide-ranging and insightful conversation!!

A wise, elderly saint once gave a discouraged young believer this piece of advice: "Remember this: the devil is mighty, but God is Almighty." The devil and his forces are extremely powerful and clever and constantly seek the downfall and destruction of God's people. But the Almighty, Omnipotent Lord is on our side and He is sworn to protect and preserve his children. Exalt our omnipotent God with Dr. Barnhouse on Dr. Barnhouse and the Bible.

Discover how humility invites God's favor and how trusting in His timing leads to genuine exaltation.
