EXILES | LIVING AS OUTSIDERS FOR GOD'S KINGDOM This week Josué works through 1 Peter 5 and frames the whole message around a countercultural reminder: this is not our final home. From that foundation he walks through three calls. First, a call for pastors and elders to care for the flock as servants, not owners, with joy and without seeking power or recognition. Second, a call for the entire community to clothe themselves in humility toward one another, intentionally and daily. Third, a call to trust God completely by releasing every burden, from the smallest to the largest, into the hands of a faithful creator who cares.Exiles is a 12-week journey through 1 Peter looking at what it means to follow Jesus in a world where we increasingly feel like outsiders. Rather than seeing this tension as a problem, Scripture shows it is the normal shape of life for those who belong to God's kingdom. As citizens of the kingdom of God, we are called to witness to His reign in the world through faithful presence, courageous love, and enduring hope. This series invites us to live as a distinct people whose lives point others to Jesus in a world that is not yet restored and made new.Shepherds and Sheep1 Peter 5:1-7Josué Lopez | Lead Pastor of Redemption Mesa7.19.2026

This episode is a re-air. For Independence Day, Grettelyn Darkey and Joe Grabowski set conversation aside and let G.K. Chesterton speak. This special gathers a curated series of Chesterton's reflections on America—the idea of the citizen, the creed at the heart of the Declaration of Independence, the nature of true patriotism, the true soldier, and the difference between the right sort of patriot and the wrong sort of politician—woven together with the strains of the nation's great patriotic songs. Drawn largely from What I Saw in America, they reveal a Chesterton who saw the American experiment more clearly than most Americans do. In This Episode: Why G.K. Chesterton called America "the one great state in the world in which many types and races are united by one idea"—the idea of the citizen—and "almost more like a great church than merely a great nation" G.K. Chesterton's case that America is "the only nation in the world that is founded on a creed," one set forth in the Declaration of Independence with "dogmatic and even theological lucidity" What G.K. Chesterton meant by true patriotism, and why he held that "my country, right or wrong" is something "no patriot would think of saying, except in a desperate case" G.K. Chesterton on the true soldier, who "fights not because he hates what is in front of him, but because he loves what is behind him" G.K. Chesterton's account of "Americanization"—the making of "a nation out of exiles"—and why he found the process unlike anything else in the world Resources Mentioned: What I Saw in America by G.K.

How do you follow Jesus in a world that does not always share your values? In Exiles, we study Daniel 1-6 and learn how to live with integrity, courage, wisdom, and prayer when God's faithfulness is costly. God's people do not have to withdraw or blend in, we can live faithfully because God is present and sovereign, even in Babylon. Key Verses: Daniel 2: 1-13, 16-23, 31-35Copper Hills Church exists to help each other increasingly Be With, Think Like, & Be Mistaken For Jesus. Find out more: www.copperhills.org

Join Rod Hembree and Janice as they delve into the prophetic words of Jeremiah concerning the restoration of Israel. Explore the profound implications of Jeremiah chapters 30 and 31, and understand how these ancient prophecies connect to modern times. With insights from Corie and Ryan, this episode of Bible Discovery examines the historical context, the role of Nebuchadnezzar, and the enduring promise of hope through Jesus Christ. This engaging discussion offers a deep dive into biblical history and its relevance today.

Daily Bitachon: Framing Eicha and the Secrets of Ashrei As we get closer to Tisha B'Av, we want to share some insights on Megillat Eicha . The Concept of a Petichta (The Opening) Midrash Eicha starts with a section called Petichta deHakimei , which means "introductory teachings of the wise men." We find a similar concept in the Talmud ( Megillah 10b ), where a long list of Chachamim (scholars) introduce the Megillah using this exact term. What is the deeper meaning of an "opening"? The Or Gedalyahu (Purim, p. 86) explains that a Petichta acts like a mafteach (a key) . It is designed to unlock the inner secrets of the text so we don't lose the forest for the trees. It anchors us to the underlying message of the book. Beginning and Ending with Goodness In Sefer Kad HaKemach (Gezel, Unit 2), Rabbeinu Bechaye discusses the famous rabbinic dictum: לעולם יתחיל אדם בדבר טוב ויסיים בדבר טוב "A person should always begin and end with something good." He explains that "good" ( tov ) refers directly to God. We can see this as we say every day in the Amidah and Ashrei: " הטוב שמך ולך נאה להודות " (The Good is Your Name, and to You it is fitting to give thanks). " טוב ה׳ לכל " ( Tov Hashem lakol – God is good to all). A name represents the essence of a thing, meaning God's absolute essence is goodness. This is a foundational theme of the Nine Days—a topic we will delve into further. Rabbeinu Bechaye and the Nefesh HaChaim explain that the ultimate expression of God's name in this world is the Torah. When the verse says, " כי שם ה׳ אקרא " ("When I call out the name of Hashem"), it refers to the Torah, which is is the names of G-d and I must gibe greatness to his name this is the source for birkat hatorah, when we learn Torah, mention his name we give Him greatness by blessing him.. In fact, the Ramban writes in his introduction to Bereishit that the entire Torah is comprised of interwoven names of God. Therefore, every Petichta begins with a Torah verse because it contains fundamental holiness—the dvar tov (good thing) that reframes our perspective before we experience the grief of Eicha. Reframing Exile: The Daughter of Waves In the Midrash , Rabbi Abba bar Kahana quotes a verse from Yeshayahu: " צהלי קולך בת גלים " ("Raise your voice, daughter of the waves"). The Midrash explains that "daughter of the waves" (or "daughter of exiles") refers to the Jewish nation. We are the children of exiles: Avraham experienced exile and famine ( "Vayehi ra'av ba'aretz" ). Yitzchak experienced exile and famine, moving to Avimelech in Gerar. Yaakov fled his home to Padan Aram. The message here is not to despair . The pain of exile is not a historic coincidence; it was built into the blueprint of creation. Rav Wolbe noted that the very opening lines of the Torah— " והארץ היתה תהו ובהו וחשך על פני תהום " —allude to the four exiles: Tohu (Chaos): Babylonia (Bavel) Vohu (Void): Persia and Media (Paras u'Madai) Choshech (Darkness): Greece (Yavan) Tehom (The Depths): Rome/Edom (our current, seemingly endless exile) Immediately following this, the Torah states, "And the spirit of God hovered over the water," which refers to the spirit of Mashiach. Why Must We Suffer? If exile is built into creation, why is it necessary? The Maharal ( Netzach Yisrael , Ch. 15) explains that this world is not our true home . As the Mishnah in Pirkei Avot teaches, this world is merely an anteroom ( prozdor ) to the World to Come. The fact that we are constantly uprooted and persecuted is a reminder that we don't inherently belong in this physical domain; we belong in a higher, spiritual realm. Our painful exile is the difficult path toward ultimate greatness. We wear the title Bat Golim (Daughter of Exiles) with pride. It is a symbol of our cosmic displacement and a reminder that our true place is in the World to Come. We must not lose faith in the face of antisemitism or tragedy. It is painful, but it is a process built for our ultimate growth. The Father's Perspective: A Mashal from the Chasam Sofer In Berachot 3a , Rabbi Yose enters a ruin in Jerusalem to pray, and Eliyahu HaNavi waits for him outside. When Rabbi Yose finishes, Eliyahu asks him what he heard inside the ruin. Rabbi Yose responds that he heard a heavenly echo ( Bat Kol ) groaning like a dove, saying: "Woe to the children, that because of their sins I destroyed My house, burned My sanctuary, and exiled them among the nations." Eliyahu informs him that this occurs three times every single day. Furthermore, whenever the Jewish people enter a synagogue and declare " אמן יהא שמיה רבא " (Amen, may His great name be blessed), God shakes His head and says: "Fortunate is the King who is praised in His house! What is there for a Father who exiled His children? And woe to the children who were exiled from their Father's table." The Chasam Sofer makes a brilliant textual analysis here. Notice the phrasing: "Woe to the children" is stated, but when referring to God, it uses the milder phrase "What is there for a Father..." rather than "Woe to the Father." Why does God not groan for Himself in the same way? The Mashal (Parable) Imagine a man whose wife is in labor with their firstborn son. He is thrilled, anticipating the Brit Milah and the Pidyon Haben. Right now, his wife is screaming in agonizing pain. The husband feels her pain acutely, but he isn't despairing. Why? Because he can see the bigger picture. He visualizes the joy of the upcoming celebrations and the beautiful life ahead. We are currently experiencing Chevlei Mashiach —the birth pangs of the Messianic era. Like childbirth, the pain intensifies right before the ultimate joy. The Chasam Sofer explains that God is like that expectant father. He feels our pain, but He does not groan for Himself because He sees the staggering spiritual heights we are climbing. He sees the light we generate by pushing against the tide of exile. Stay tuned tomorrow as we discuss why the response of "Amen Yehei Shmei Raba" is so deeply moving to the Almighty.

EXILES | LIVING AS OUTSIDERS FOR GOD'S KINGDOM This week Cory opens with a confession: this passage made him more anxious to preach than almost any other, because he simply doesn't want to suffer. Working through 1 Peter 4:12-19, he walks through Peter's call to not be surprised when faithfulness costs something. Suffering, Peter says, is a test that exposes what the heart is actually trusting. Cory covers three reasons to rejoice in it: it deepens intimacy with Christ, it will give way to overflowing joy, and it means the favor of God is resting on you. Exiles is a 12-week journey through 1 Peter looking at what it means to follow Jesus in a world where we increasingly feel like outsiders. Rather than seeing this tension as a problem, Scripture shows it is the normal shape of life for those who belong to God's kingdom. As citizens of the kingdom of God, we are called to witness to His reign in the world through faithful presence, courageous love, and enduring hope. This series invites us to live as a distinct people whose lives point others to Jesus in a world that is not yet restored and made new.Suffering as Participation1 Peter 4:12-19Cory Kasperson | Next Gen Pastor7.12.2026

“Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.” These are the words of the Lord Jesus in Matthew 11:28. Jesus, as the Bread of Life who has come down from heaven, gives true satisfaction to the mind, heart, and soul. Those who do not feed upon Christ do not have forgiveness of sins, nor do they have a relationship with God. In Jesus, all the blessings and privileges of the covenant are given to God's children. Come, feast upon Jesus and let your souls be filled with eternal life and everlasting joy.

What do you do when life feels uncertain? When the future seems unpredictable, it’s easy to wonder if God is still in control. In Daniel 8, we encounter one of the Bible’s most unusual prophetic visions, but beneath the strange imagery is a powerful reminder that God knows the future because He rules over it. […]

How do you follow Jesus in a world that does not always share your values? In 'Exiles', we study Daniel 1-6 and learn how to live with integrity, courage, wisdom, and prayer when faithfulness is costly. God's people do not have to withdraw or blend in - we can live faithfully because God is present and sovereign, even in Babylon.

You can understand why your child is struggling and still be completely triggered by it. In this episode, I'm joined by Jacqi Trombley, a licensed clinical social worker, trauma specialist, and Level 2 trained IFS therapist, for a conversation about Internal Family Systems. Internal Family Systems, or IFS, is a therapy model that helps us understand the different parts inside us. Not in a "there is something wrong with you" way. More in a "of course you have more than one reaction happening at the same time" way. There may be a part of you that understands why your child is struggling. There may also be a part of you that is scared, embarrassed, angry, overwhelmed, or thinking, "Absolutely not. This cannot be what we are doing right now." That is where this conversation gets so useful for parents. Jacqi walks us through some of the parts language in IFS, including managers, exiles, and firefighters. We talk about why the goal is not to get rid of the anxious part, the angry part, the critical part, or the part that wants everyone to stop making noise immediately. The goal is to understand what those parts are trying to protect. Because so many parents can understand, intellectually, why their child is having a hard time and still feel completely activated by what is happening. We can know our child is neurodivergent, anxious, sensory overloaded, exhausted, or developmentally not where other kids are, and still have something inside us light up. That does not mean we are failing. It means something in us may need attention too. Jacqui and I talk about what happens when a child's dysregulation activates a parent's dysregulation. A child comes home tired, hungry, overwhelmed, or upset, and instead of saying, "I had a hard day and I need help," they poke their sibling, throw something, get loud, refuse the thing, or push every available button. And then, of course, something in us responds. IFS gives us another way to understand that moment. It helps us notice what might be happening inside the child and inside ourselves before everything becomes one big reaction. It gives us language for the part that wants to yell, the part that wants to disappear, the part that wants to fix everything, and the part that is quietly scared underneath it all. We also talk about trauma, inner child work, neurodivergence, and the power of witnessing the parts of ourselves that did not get what they needed at the time. And yes, IFS can sound a little hokey from the outside. Also, it can be deeply moving. This conversation is not about becoming a perfectly calm parent who never gets triggered. Please. We live here on Earth. It is about having another way to understand what is happening when your child's struggle touches something tender, scared, angry, or overwhelmed inside you. And sometimes that little bit of space is where things can begin to change. Key Takeaways Internal Family Systems, or IFS, is a therapy model that helps us understand the different parts inside us. Parts are not treated as bad in IFS. They are usually trying to protect something. A parent can understand why their child is struggling and still feel completely triggered by what is happening. Managers are the parts that try to keep things under control, prevent pain, and help us avoid rejection, shame, or failure. Exiles are often younger parts carrying pain, fear, shame, grief, or unmet needs. Firefighters are reactive parts that jump in quickly when something feels too overwhelming to tolerate. Trying to banish a part usually does not work because that part believes it has an important job. A child's dysregulation can quickly activate a parent's protective parts too. Neurodivergent kids may have repeated experiences of being misunderstood, misread, corrected, or left without help processing what happened. Parts work can help parents create enough space to notice what is happening inside themselves before responding from the most activated place. About Jacqi Trombley Jacqi Trombley is a licensed clinical social worker with more than 15 years of experience. She was trained as a trauma specialist by the Ferentz Institute in Baltimore and is a Level 2 trained IFS therapist. Her clinical background includes trauma, grief, depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, neurodiversity-affirming psychotherapy, and work across multiple settings including treatment foster care, homeless shelters, outpatient mental health clinics, and private practice. Jacqi has also administered psychosocial assessments for the Office of the Public Defender, led wellness groups for human service providers, hosted mental health seminars for private companies, and taught at the University of Maryland School of Social Work on oppression, privilege, cultural humility, and anti-oppression practice.

EXILES | LIVING AS OUTSIDERS FOR GOD'S KINGDOM This week Brian reads through a sweeping portion of 1 Peter, from the opening blessing all the way into chapter 4, letting the full arc of Peter's argument land together. The throughline is clear: because Christ suffered and conquered darkness through the cross and resurrection, his people are now called to arm themselves with that same attitude. Living in the light means pursuing holiness, loving community deeply, controlling sinful desires, and being ready to give a reason for the hope that doesn't waver even under pressure. Exiles is a 12-week journey through 1 Peter looking at what it means to follow Jesus in a world where we increasingly feel like outsiders.

1 Peter 2:18–25 | Living Hope For Exiles, Part 7 | 7/5/2026 | Pastor Matt Jones. Peter addresses servants living under the institution of Roman slavery, raising questions that many people still ask today about the Bible and slavery. Does Scripture actually endorse slavery? How should Christians understand these challenging passages? And what does any of this have to do with following Jesus today? Pastor Matt will show how Peter is doing far more than commenting on an ancient social institution. He points us to the greatest slavery of all—our bondage to sin—and to the only Savior who can truly set us free.

Kingdom in Exiles: Playing Your Part - Robb Hibbard Hope Church

EXILES | LIVING AS OUTSIDERS FOR GOD'S KINGDOMThis week Seth works through 1 Peter 3:18-22 and keeps Peter's overarching argument in focus rather than getting lost in the strange details of the text. The central claim is this: Christ's suffering was the total, tactical defeat of sin, evil, and every power of darkness, a victory cosmic in scope that reclaims not just individuals but an entire people and ultimately all of creation. Baptism is the believer's public declaration of allegiance to that risen King, and daily life is where that allegiance is either confirmed or compromised. The powers of this world rarely ask us to reject Jesus outright, but they do invite us into a rival gospel that trades sacrifice for comfort and mission for convenience.Seth closes with a personal challenge: the church follows a scapegoat savior, which means stepping into the brokenness of the world by choice, bearing its burdens, and in doing so, imaging God to a watching world.Exiles is a 12-week journey through 1 Peter looking at what it means to follow Jesus in a world where we increasingly feel like outsiders.

1 Peter 2:11-17 | Living Hope for Exiles, Part 6 | 6/28/2026 | Pastor Matt Jones. In this section of Scripture, Peter reminds believers that while our citizenship is in heaven, we are called to live faithfully in a world that is not our home. As exiles and strangers, we face both an internal battle against sinful desires and an external challenge of living honorably before a watching world. Peter shows us how the gospel shapes our conduct, our witness, our relationship to government, our understanding of freedom, and our love for one another as the people of God.

Kingdom in Exiles: Local Church Protocol - Robb Hibbard Hope Church

EXILES | LIVING AS OUTSIDERS FOR GOD'S KINGDOMThis week Cory opens with a Father's Day moment: watching his four-year-old daughter mimic his mannerisms and realize people are always noticing more than we think. That same awareness, he connects directly to the text. Working through 1 Peter 3:8-16, he walks through three things the world should see and experience when it comes in contact with the church. First, Christ's character. Peter starts not with the world but with community, because pressure from the outside almost always gets taken out on the people closest to us. How the church treats one another, especially in conflict and hurt, is itself a witness. Second, Christ's peace. Cory draws a distinction between peacekeeping and peacemaking, calling believers to control their tongues and actively pursue reconciliation, grounded in the reality that God first pursued peace with us. Third, Christ's hope. When Christians genuinely fear God more than people, they become free, and that freedom becomes magnetic. A hope-filled life creates curiosity, and Peter says to be ready to explain it.Exiles is a 12-week journey through 1 Peter looking at what it means to follow Jesus in a world where we increasingly feel like outsiders. Rather than seeing this tension as a problem, Scripture shows it is the normal shape of life for those who belong to God's kingdom. As citizens of the kingdom of God, we are called to witness to His reign in the world through faithful presence, courageous love, and enduring hope. This series invites us to live as a distinct people whose lives point others to Jesus in a world that is not yet restored and made new.A Love That Makes People Curious1 Peter 3:8-16Cory Kasperson | NextGen Pastor6.21.2026

Daniel 10:1-21; Charles Johnson, Senior Pastor at RMC; the 12th sermon in the series "Daniel: Hope for Exiles."

EXILES | LIVING AS OUTSIDERS FOR GOD'S KINGDOM Peoria's lead Pastor Jon opens with a simple but convicting reality: most people who don't know Jesus will never walk into a church, but they will watch how Christians respond under pressure. Working through 1 Peter 2 and into chapter 3, he covers three categories of everyday witness: public life, work life, and home life. In each one, Peter calls believers to absorb injustice and do good rather than retaliate, because the witness of the church shines brightest not through outrage or control but through humility, integrity, and love. The foundation for all of it is Jesus, the ultimate exile, who entrusted himself to the Father rather than defending himself. Exiles is a 12-week journey through 1 Peter looking at what it means to follow Jesus in a world where we increasingly feel like outsiders. Rather than seeing this tension as a problem, Scripture shows it is the normal shape of life for those who belong to God's kingdom. As citizens of the kingdom of God, we are called to witness to His reign in the world through faithful presence, courageous love, and enduring hope. This series invites us to live as a distinct people whose lives point others to Jesus in a world that is not yet restored and made new.Witness in Ordinary Life1 Peter 2:11-3:7Jon Demeter | Lead Pastor of Redemption Peoria6.14.2026

Hey friends, every month I do bonus episodes where I tackle questions from my Patreon community. For May, I hit 16 questions (see below). For this free bonus, I've included the first few questions. For the full thing, join a bronze, silver, or gold tier on my Patreon! You'll also get access to Extra Innings, Exiles conference content, free tickets, Zoom chats and more! Questions:0:52. If a pastor commits adultery, but repents, is he still disqualified from his office for the rest of his life in view of elder reqs in 1 Timothy 3 and Titus 1?7:55. What were your thoughts on the Pete Enns session at Exiles? In particular, how would you steel man his position about the flood narrative? 22:27. When Pete Enns spoke at Exiles I think he mentioned maybe Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and Moses did not actually exist. What are your thoughts on this? 29:16. Advice for initiating movement into mutualism in practice & policy?31:50. How do "non-affirming" traditions engage the practice of ecumenical unity with "affirming" traditions? Does "Side A" operate outside the bounds of orthodoxy? 37:39. Is your family's current church egalitarian? If not, now that you've landed on a position, has that impacted your ability to serve/teach/etc?42:19. Why follow some OT laws (lying) but not others (shellfish, polyester)? Had an OT prof that taught that ‘ceremonial/civil/moral' distinction doesn't hold water46:07. If the annihilation theory is correct, how does that help people see their need for a savior? If you don't believe in God, ceasing to exist seems preferable. 48:13. Do you think the accommodating and not judging mentioned in Romans 14 could be applied to pronoun hospitality and how we interact with others we disagree with? 49:04. What spiritual rhythms feel most grounding for you in your ministry? And how do you balance a rhythm like scripture reading with scholarly work?50:46. How do you interact with non-Christian Biblical scholars? I have a hard time taking them seriously if they don't actually believe in what they're studying.52:56. I've read recently claims that most Israelites worshipped Asherah as Yahweh's wife and that it wasn't until later that she was condemned. Any insight?54:05. Has there been any updates or significant changes in research around gender dysphoria since Embodied was released?58:36. Do Jesus' statements in Matthew 19 and the Sermon on the Mount imply that anyone has grounds for divorce because lusting after someone is committing adultery?01:00:43. At what point does being wrong about theology become sin? I'm thinking of pre-civil-war churches preaching slavery was OK, and extrapolating to today's issues.01:02:41. I heard a conservative Christian reporter refer to individuals experiencing gender dysphoria as "gender confused." Do you consider this term pejorative?
