More Than a Song - Discovering the Truth of Scripture Hidden in Today's Popular Christian Music
Send us a textWe love the miracle moments—the breakthrough, the answered prayer, the clear direction. But what about the space between deliverance and destination—the “in-between”? Inspired by Summit Worship's "In The Waiting" and the Israelites' journey through the wilderness, this episode of More Than a Song explores what God may be teaching us when the waiting feels long and the water tastes bitter. Could it be that in the in-between, God isn't absent...He's just getting personal?Key PointsMichelle shares personal updates on being “in the waiting” and how this season mirrors the spiritual and emotional tension explored in this week's song and Scripture.God doesn't abandon us in the “in between”; He uses it to shape us and reveal Himself more deeply.Michelle uses the Israelites' journey after the Exodus to explore how God tests and teaches His people during wilderness seasons.God's expectations of devotion come before His provision—He desires a relationship, not just requests.The names and attributes of God, such as Yahweh Rapha (“The Lord Your Healer”), are revealed through these wilderness moments.Scripture ReferencesExodus 15:22–27 – Bitter water made sweet; God reveals Himself as “The Lord, Your Healer.”Exodus 16:3–4 – God's people grumble in hunger; He tests them with daily provision of manna.Exodus 17:2–7 – Quarreling and thirsting at Massah and Meribah; God brings water from the rock.Exodus 13:17 – God intentionally leads the Israelites the long way around to avoid immediate conflict they weren't ready for.Exodus 1–17 (recommended reading) – To fully grasp the context of Israel's wilderness journey.Bible Interaction Tool Exercises (BITEs) UsedRead in context – Don't isolate stories; read the full narrative from Exodus 1–17 (and beyond!)Use curiosity and meditation – Ask yourself questions like, “Why did they grumble against Moses instead of God?”Remember the people in the Bible were REAL – Remember, these were real people with real needs and emotions.Make a list – What does God want? (Ex. 15:26)Read in multiple translations – Words like “tormented” in the NLT can spark new insights.Use supplemental resources – Biblical Fiction like Where the Desert Blooms by Sierra Elliot can bring Scripture to life - Amazon Paid LinkAdditional Resources

When God finally opens the ark's doors after the Great Flood subsides, something shocking happens: the women refuse to have children. Despite being the only humans left on Earth, Noah's family goes on a "baby strike," terrified that their offspring might repeat history's mistakes. Their reasoning? Even righteous Adam and Eve produced a world so wicked that God had to wash it away.Rabbi Epstein uncovers the profound psychology behind this post-apocalyptic anxiety, exploring why the wives feared they couldn't control their children's choices—and how this reflects every parent's deepest concerns. But here's the twist: God had to switch from His attribute of justice to mercy to convince them the world was worth rebuilding.The Hebrew text reveals something English fails to capture: spelling variations that reveal hidden meanings, and the revolutionary moment when burnt offerings literally changed God's mind. This episode tackles the ultimate questions: How do we find hope after devastation? When is it right to bring children into an uncertain world? And what does it really mean when the Torah says we're born with evil inclinations?From the secret reason animals were commanded to leave the ark to the profound truth about why teenagers get their "good inclination" at 12 and 13, Rabbi Epstein masterfully weaves together ancient wisdom and modern parenting dilemmas. Discover how Noah's animal offering created an "appetizer" for human transformation that echoes through every generation.
Send us a textThe moment Moses descended Mount Sinai with the tablets of stone, his face radiant with divine glory, marked a pivotal moment in biblical history. This fascinating exploration of "The Veil of Moses" takes you deep into Exodus 34, where Moses covered his shining face before the frightened Israelites.What was the significance of this mysterious veil? Why did it provoke such fear among the people? And what profound truths does it reveal about our relationship with God today? Through thoughtful analysis and spirited discussion, we uncover the dual purpose behind Moses' covering – both to calm the Israelites' fears and to conceal the temporary nature of the law's glory.As we journey into 2 Corinthians 3, where Paul interprets this ancient event, we discover how the veil symbolizes the transition between covenants. The law itself was glorious, holy and good – yet it was also what Paul called "the ministration of death." This apparent contradiction holds the key to understanding God's redemptive plan.The veil of Moses teaches us that acknowledging grace doesn't diminish the law's holiness. Rather, it recognizes that because of human sinfulness, God established a better covenant through which He could have the relationship with humanity He always intended. This episode illuminates how the law reveals our need for salvation while pointing to the superior glory of grace.Whether you're a seasoned Bible scholar or new to studying Scripture, this examination of one of the Bible's most vivid symbols will transform your understanding of how law and grace work together in God's perfect plan. Listen now to discover why this ancient story matters more than ever for Christians today.Support the show

In this episode of the Parsha Review Podcast, we explore the Torah portion Shalach, focusing on the story of the twelve spies sent to scout the land of Israel. Ten of the spies return with a negative report, causing despair among the Jewish people, which leads to the tragic establishment of Tisha B'Av, a day marked by historical calamities. In contrast, Joshua and Calev offer a positive perspective, highlighting the importance of faith in Hashem's promise. We delve into the mitzvah of Tzitzis (fringes on four-cornered garments), recited twice daily in the Shema, which serves as a visual reminder of all 613 commandments. He explains that Tzitzis, with their numerical value and structure (600 plus 8 strings and 5 knots), symbolize the entire Torah, encouraging spiritual mindfulness and adherence to God's laws, particularly for men, as the mitzvah is time-bound and not obligatory for women.We emphasize the power and danger of the eyes, which can lead to holiness or temptation, as cautioned in the verse urging not to stray after one's heart or eyes. We connect this to modern challenges, where technology and social media, designed to be addictive, can draw people away from their values. Drawing from personal anecdotes, such as a student wearing Tzitzis discreetly and his own experience in Jerusalem's marketplace, he warns against the spiritual risks of unchecked visual intake. We advocate for mental engagement with Torah to guard against boredom and temptation, citing the practices of tech CEOs who limit phone use for productivity. We conclude by urging listeners to control their eyes, create a personal sanctuary for Hashem, and recite the Shema daily as a reminder to stay focused on holiness, praying for divine protection and a blessed Shabbos._____________This episode (Ep 7.34) of the Parsha Review Podcast by Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe on Parshas Shelach is dedicated in honor of our Holy Soldiers in the Battlefield and our Torah Scholars in the Study Halls who are fighting for the safety of our nation!Download & Print the Parsha Review Notes:https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1ncaRyoH5iJmGGoMZs9y82Hz2ofViVouv?usp=sharingRecorded at TORCH Meyerland in the Levin Family Studios (B) to a live audience on June 17, 2025, in Houston, Texas.Released as Podcast on June 19, 2025_____________DONATE to TORCH: Please consider supporting the podcasts by making a donation to help fund our Jewish outreach and educational efforts at https://www.torchweb.org/support.php.

This week's message explores the profound concept of God's presence through the lens of the Old Testament tabernacle. This portable sanctuary, described in Exodus 25-27, beautifully illustrates two seemingly contradictory truths about our relationship with God. First, we learn that God eagerly moves towards sinners, desiring to dwell among His people despite their imperfections. The tabernacle, placed at the center of the Israelite camp, symbolizes God's willingness to be present in the midst of our messy lives. However, we're also met with another fact: that accessing God's presence shouldn't be casual - it requires reverence and following His prescribed path. This tension between God's accessibility and His holiness challenges us to approach Him with both confidence and awe. As we reflect on this, we're invited to cultivate a deeper appreciation for God's desire to be near us while maintaining a healthy reverence for His holiness in our daily lives.
Lukedoesn't go into detail about the different aspects of the Passover lamb beingeaten, or the different cups that they drink representing certain aspects ofthe Exodus and redemption, but we know several things took place at this time.The Gospel of John tells us in John 13, before the feast of the Passover, whenJesus knew that His hour had come—remember, in verse 14 of Luke 22, alsomentions when the hour had come—"Jesus knew that this hour had comethat He should depart from this world to the Father. Having loved His own, Heloved them to the end” (John 13:1). This was an expression of the love ofthe Lord Jesus Christ to the twelve disciples, who had left all to follow Him.But who still can't seem to get along with each other, and still had so much tolearn. Jesusis going to teach them a lesson about love, humility, and forgiveness. John 13:2-10goes on to say; “Supper being ended, the devil having already put it intothe heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, to betray Him, Jesus, knowing thatthe Father had given all things into His hands and that He had come from Godand was going to God, rose from the supper, laid aside His garments, took atowel, and girded Himself. After that, He poured water into a basin and beganto wash the disciples' feet and wipe them with the towel with which He wasgirded. He came to Simon Peter, and Peter said to Him, “Lord, are You washingmy feet?” Jesus answered, “What I'm doing you do not understand now, but you'llknow after this.” Peter said, “You're never going to wash my feet.” Jesusreplied, “If I don't wash you, you have no part with Me.” Peter responded,“Well then, wash me all over.” Jesus said, “You don't need to be washed allover; only your feet are dirty, and you're clean, but not all of you.” Jesuslater said to the disciples, “I've given you an example that you should do asI've done to you. Blessed are you if you do these things” (John 13:17). Whatwas the Lord teaching them? The Lord was teaching them the power of love,humility, and forgiveness. Jesus knew He was going to a cross, and no matterhow these disciples acted, deny Him, fail Him, or go the wrong way, He would lovethem to the end. They were going to find cleansing and forgiveness of their dailysins through His blood. And as He forgave them, they were to forgive oneanother. Thisis very important. Jesus didn't mean that we are supposed to have a ceremony inour churches or go home and literally wash each other's feet, wash theneighbors' feet, or other believers' feet. He's speaking of the fact that ourfeet get dirty as we walk through this world. How do they get dirty? Thingshappen with people. People say and do things that offend and hurt us. We sayand do things that hurt others. And daily and we need to ask for forgivenessand give forgiveness. Ibelieve that this is what Jesus is teaching: to get rid of our pride, be humbleand love and forgive others the way we want Him to love and forgive us. At thispoint in the supper, Jesus could have displayed His glory and could have askedthe disciples to fall at His feet and worship Him, but He didn't. He took offHis garment, put on a servant's garment, washed their feet, and said, “NowI've taught you a lesson. You don't understand it now, but you'll understand itlater” (John 13:7). Later, when Jesus went to the cross and they heard Himsay, “Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do,” they knewit was about forgiveness. Godforgives them through Christ, and they were to love and forgive one another. Andas we do that, we keep our feet clean, and honor and glorify the Lord as we loveand forgive those who hurt us. In doing this we display Jesus' love, humility,and forgiveness to the world that desperately needs it! Itrust as you look at this upper room experience, it will transform your life asyou do what Jesus has taught us by His own example. Godbless!

A Bigger Life Prayer and Bible Devotionals with Pastor Dave Cover
This is Christian Meditation for A Bigger Life – a time for you to relax your body and refocus your mind to experience the reality of God's presence. I'm Dave Cover. I want to help you with Christian meditation where you can break through all the distractions and experience God's presence through biblically guided imagination. *Note: We will release just one episode per week on Tuesdays during the summer. 2 Corinthians 4:6 NIV For God, who said, “Let light shine out of darkness,” made his light shine in our hearts to give us the light of the knowledge of God's glory displayed in the face of Christ. Exodus 34:6 NIV And he passed in front of Moses, proclaiming, “The LORD, the LORD, the compassionate and gracious God, slow to anger, abounding in love and faithfulness.” Matthew 9:36 NIV “When he saw the crowds, he had compassion on them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd.” John 11:33-36 NIV 33 When Jesus saw her weeping, and the Jews who had come along with her also weeping, he was deeply moved in spirit and troubled. 34 “Where have you laid him?” he asked. “Come and see, Lord,” they replied. 35 Jesus wept. 36 Then the Jews said, “See how he loved him!” Luke 7:11-13 NIV Soon afterward, Jesus went to a town called Nain, and his disciples and a large crowd went along with him. As he approached the town gate, a dead person was being carried out—the only son of his mother, and she was a widow. And a large crowd from the town was with her. 13 When the Lord saw her, his heart went out to her and he said, “Don't cry.” Matthew 20:32-34 NIV 32 Jesus stopped and called them. “What do you want me to do for you?” he asked. 33 “Lord,” they answered, “we want our sight.” 34 Jesus had compassion on them and touched their eyes. Immediately they received their sight and followed him. Who can you share this podcast with?

Episode 247: The Next Move of GodAre we ready to discern God's next move in our lives and in the world? This episode of the Mavericks & Misfits podcast challenges us to look beyond our daily routines and open our eyes to the burning bushes God places in our path. Drawing from the story of Moses in Exodus 3, we are reminded that even in seasons of apparent stagnation, God is preparing us for His next great work. The key is to 'turn aside' from our busy lives and investigate what God might be doing. Just as Moses encountered God in the midst of his mundane shepherding duties, we too can experience divine interruption if we're willing to pay attention. This message encourages us to balance our 'have-to' responsibilities with an expectant search for God's 'might-be' possibilities, fostering a spirit of readiness for His next move in our lives.

June 17, 2025 Is. 43:14-44:8; Ps. 67:1-3; Prov. 17:12-13; Eph. 3:1-11
“This week is very special. We've crossed halfway into the Hebrew month of Sivan, and God is saying something profound: ‘I am preparing a place for you.'”“Sivan is about identity. It's the month when the Israelites came to Mount Sinai and received their covenant — their purpose, their calling, and their God-given identity.”“We live in a time where identity is under attack. Just look around — the enemy is screaming. Why? Because whenever God moves in identity, the enemy panics.”“You've probably heard about ‘No King but Jesus Day' — come on, I'm all for that! While the culture wages war over identity, the Kingdom is calling you to rise up as a royal priesthood and holy nation.”“If you don't know who you are, the enemy will try to tell you who you're not.”“And that's dangerous — because if you walk into the promises of God without knowing your identity, you'll squander them. You'll use them for yourself instead of the Kingdom. God is saying: ‘Before I give you the land, I must give you identity.'”“Let's go to Exodus 23:20 — one of the most powerful promises.”“Behold, I send an Angel before you to guard you on the way and bring you to the place I have prepared.”“Did you catch that? God sends an angel before you. You're not walking blind. Heaven has gone ahead of you.”“This week, new angels are being assigned. New levels. New doors. But they're only accessible if you walk in your Kingdom identity.”“If you read through Exodus 23:20–33, you'll see seven covenant blessings that come when we obey.”God keeps His promises“This isn't just a promise for ancient Israel — this is for you, right now, in 2025.”“But here's the key: you must come into alignment.”“God is preparing a place — a land flowing with milk and honey — but you've got to know who you are before you step into it.”“If you've been confused… lost… or maybe you've walked away from God — today is the day to renew your identity.”“Say this out loud: ‘Jesus, I receive who You are. I receive who You say I am. I walk away from false identity, and I step into my royal inheritance. No King but Jesus. Amen.'”“Come on, somebody! If that word hit you, hit like, hit subscribe, and share this with someone who needs to hear it.”“Let the world know: we serve King Jesus. This is the season of rising, of clarity, and of walking into the place God has prepared for you.”“Remember: You are chosen. You are royal. And you are right on time. See you next week!”Resources & Action Steps: Sign up for the free “Send Class” – June 19thhttp://bit.ly/4gfRKXmGet your copy of “365 Prophetic Revelations from the Hebrew Calendar”Www.candicesmithyman.comhttps://amzn.to/4aQYoR0Enroll in Soul Transformation and Dream Mentors 101 to become a ministry affiliateWww.dreammentors.orgScripture: Exodus 19, 23 | Acts 2Hashtags:#PropheticWord #NoKingButJesus #KingdomIdentity #Exodus23 #HebrewCalendar #ChristianTeaching #PentecostBlessings #WeeklyWord
Exodus 2:23-25; Genesis 35:1-8 This Sunday marks one year from the tornado, but it is also Memorial Day weekend. Both invite us to reflection on what it means to remember and honor the past, and move forward at the same time.
When Neil Douglas boarded his flight to Ireland, he was met with quite a surprise. He discovered his seat was occupied by another passenger, so he began a conversation to sort out the discrepancy. When the passenger looked up to answer, Neil was face to face with his lookalike! Onlooking passengers laughed at the men’s resemblance while the two took a selfie. The coincidences didn’t end there: they ran into each other again when checking into the same hotel and a third time at a local pub. The next morning, they discovered their selfie had gone viral on social media due to their striking facial similarities. Bearing a resemblance to another human being is a surprise for those of us without a biological twin, but the Bible says we’ll begin to look more like God as we follow Him. In the Old Testament, Moses’ countenance was changed by his face-to-face encounter with God—so much so that “the Israelites could not look steadily at [his face] because of its glory” (2 Corinthians 3:18; see Exodus 34:33-35). Today, we see the glory of Jesus revealed in the Bible and through it “we . . . are being transformed into his image” (v. 18) by the Spirit. Though our physical appearance may not be changed in an observable way, our growing knowledge of and love for God results in an unmistakable transformation. When God “makes over” our hearts and minds, it’s visible to our fellow travelers in this journey of life.
When you open the book of Exodus, do you see a distant history…or do you see yourself?Today, we continue our year-long Bible study in the book of Exodus, The Gospel: One Rescue at a Time. In this third introductory episode, Paul shows how this ancient story acts like a mirror, showing us who we really are before the living God.

It's Monday, June 16th, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com. I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Adam McManus Pakistani Christian acquitted of blasphemy against Islam charge Last Thursday, a Pakistani judge acquitted a 28-year-old Christian named Farhan Masih of blasphemy against Islam and terrorism charges after the prosecution failed to prove its case against him, reports Morningstar News. Masih had developed a mental illness due to excessive use of synthetic drugs and was entrapped in the false accusation by the complainant. According to Open Doors, Pakistan is the eighth most difficult country worldwide in which to live for Christians. Dear God, we thank you for enabling Farhan Masih, this Pakistani Christian, to be acquitted. Amen. Israel attacks Iran over atomic weapon; Iran retaliates Israel launched blistering attacks on the heart of Iran's nuclear and military structure Friday, deploying warplanes and drones previously smuggled into the country to assault key facilities and kill top generals and scientists, reports the Associated Press. Israeli Prime Minister Benajmin Netanyahu explained. NETANYAHU: “Moments ago, Israel launched Operation Rising Lion, a targeted military operation to roll back the Iranian threat to Israel's very survival. This operation will continue for as many days as it takes to remove this threat. For decades, the tyrants of Tehran have brazenly, openly called for Israel's destruction. They backed up their genocidal rhetoric with a program to develop nuclear weapons. “In recent years, Iran has produced enough highly enriched uranium for nine atom bombs – nine! In recent months, Iran has taken steps that it has never taken before, steps to weaponize this enriched uranium. If not stopped, Iran could produce a nuclear weapon in a very short time. It could be a year. It could be within a few months.” Iran retaliated by firing waves of ballistic missiles at Israel, where explosions flared in the skies over Jerusalem and Tel Aviv and shook the buildings below. The Israeli military urged civilians to head to shelter, as missiles damaged homes and killed two people. U.S. Senate considers defunding Planned Parenthood In the midst of the U.S. Senate's ongoing debate about the budget, they are determining whether to defund Planned Parenthood, as President Trump has requested, reports Liberty Counsel Action. The situation is fluid and can change at any moment because of the razor-thin margin of votes. Only two weeks remain to get the budget on President Trump's desk. Whether or not your two U.S. Senators are Republicans or Democrats, please call them at 202-224-3121 – any time of the day or night -- and urge them to DEFUND Planned Parenthood. Democratic Minnesota Rep. killed and Minnesota Senator injured in targeted attack A Minnesota Democratic lawmaker and her husband were shot and killed in their home early Saturday by someone posing as a police officer and a second Democratic lawmaker and his wife were wounded in what some have described as “targeted political violence,” reports the Associated Press. Former Democratic House Speaker Melissa Hortman and her spouse were killed in their Brooklyn Park home. The other lawmaker, Democratic State Senator John Hoffman, and his wife, were shot multiple times in Champlin, a suburb of Minneapolis. Bob Jacobson, Minnesota Commissioner of Public Safety, spoke at a press conference. JACOBSON: “This is a dark day today for Minnesota and for democracy, but we will not allow fear or violence to define who we are or how we move forward.” The gunman has been identified as Vance Luther Boelter, whom Democratic Minnesota Governor Tim Walz had previously appointed to the Governor's Workforce Development Council. Christian singer Michael Tait confesses homosexual conduct & drug abuse Last Tuesday, Michael Tait, the former lead singer of the Christian rock band Newsboys and a member of the Grammy-winning group DC Talk, publicly confessed to a history of "reckless and destructive behavior," including drug and alcohol abuse and unwanted sexual conduct involving men, reports The Christian Post. In a written statement on Instagram, the 59-year-old singer acknowledged that the reports are “sadly, largely true." He wrote, "For some two decades, I used and abused cocaine, consumed far too much alcohol, and, at times, touched men in an unwanted sensual way. I am ashamed of my life choices and actions, and make no excuses for them. I will simply call it what God calls it — sin. “I was violating everything I was raised to believe by my God-fearing Dad and Mom, about walking with Jesus and was grieving the very God I loved and sang about for most of my life. By His grace, I can say that for the past six months, I have lived a singular life—one of utter brokenness and total dependence on a loving and merciful God." Tait's confession follows an in-depth investigative report published on June 3rd by The Roys Report documenting that three men accused him of sexual assault during separate incidents dating back to 2004. Tait quoted Psalm 51, King David's famous prayer of repentance: "Blot out my transgressions … create in me a new heart, O God." God-haters upset with 10 Commandments displayed in Arkansas schools A group of God-hating organizations has filed a lawsuit against a recently passed law in Arkansas that requires public schools to display the Ten Commandments on the wall in a 16-inch by 20-inch poster with a font size that makes it easily readable, reports The Christian Post. Americans United for Separation of Church and State, the American Civil Liberties Union, and the Freedom From Religion Foundation filed a complaint on Wednesday on behalf of a religiously diverse group of parents. At issue is Act 573, a measure signed into law by Arkansas Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders in April and is scheduled to take effect in August. The lawsuit argues that "Act 573 is not neutral with respect to religion." Republican State Senator Jim Dotson, one of the bill's primary sponsors, argued in March that the Decalogue displays were not unconstitutional. He said, "From the state to the federal level all throughout our history, it is an historical reference point or historical document that has basic things like you shall not kill, steal, commit adultery -- those basic foundations of life that are good for everybody to keep front of mind so that we are hopefully living good lives," reports KATV. After God revealed the Ten Commandments to Moses on Mt. Sinai, Exodus 20:20 records Moses telling the Jews, “Do not be afraid. God has come to test you, so that the fear of God will be with you to keep you from sinning.” Worldview listeners in South Dakota, Colorado, and Indiana share their hearts I invited Worldview listeners to share what they enjoy about the newscast in 2-6 sentences by email. You can share your thoughts -- along with your full name, city and state -- and send it to adam@TheWorldview.com Jason Bollwerk in Rapid City, South Dakota wrote, “I am a homeschooled sophomore in high school, and I listen daily to The Worldview for school. My reason for listening is not only to hear what is happening in the world, but I love hearing about all the good things that God is doing out there. Most media outlets show the dark side of what's going on. But The Worldview really shows what God's doing. Tally ho and pip pip.” Cheryl Ball in Indianapolis, Indiana wrote, “I've been reading the transcript of your newscast every morning since the presidential debates last year. I don't watch the news or read other news. So, this is basically my news input and I'm thankful for it.” And Dennis and Alyssa Guse in Castle Rock, Colorado, said, “Thank you for the faithful work you and The Worldview in 5 Minutes team do for the glory of God! We are blessed to hear relevant news stories and encouraging Scriptures every day. Keep up the great work for the Kingdom!” Dennis asked if I could lead an occasional short prayer for one of the news items. I called him to say that that was a great idea and I would take him up on the suggestion. 17 Worldview listeners gave $6,821 to fund our annual budget And finally, toward our midpoint goal of $61,750 to fund half of The Worldview newscast's annual budget by this past weekend, 17 listeners stepped up to the plate by 1:00pm Central on Saturday. We were only 3 donors short of our 20-donor goal. Our thanks to Augustine in Auburn, California who gave $25 as well as Elisabeth in Waterloo, Ontario, Canada and Karen in Waterford, Wisconsin -- both of whom gave $50, and Daniel in Mayflower, Arkansas who pledged $8 per month for 12 months for a gift of $96. We're grateful to God for Leasa in Simpsonville, South Carolina, George in Edinburgh, Indiana, and Woody in Sparks, Nevada – each of whom gave $100 as well as Laura in Millstadt, Illinois and Kerry and Rosana in San Antonio, Texas – both of whom gave $200. And we were touched by the generosity of Derrick in Evans, Georgia who gave $250, Justin and Oliver in Grover Beach, California who pledged $25/month for 12 months for a gift of $300, Eric in Warren, Minnesota who also pledged $25 per month for 12 months for a gift of $300, Matt, Amanda, Elijah, Malachi, and Samuel in Greencastle, Indiana who gave $450, Shy in Ingalls, Indiana who pledged $50 per month for 12 months for a total gift of $600, Aaron in Fort Bragg, North Carolina who gave $1,000, Katie in Hutchinson, Kansas who gave $1,000, and Scooter in Naples, Florida who will match those last two $1,000 donations with another $2,000 gift of his own. Those 17 Worldview listeners gave a total of $6,821. Ready for our new grand total? Drum roll please. (Drum roll sound effect) $38,892.20 (People clapping and cheering sound effect) That means we fell $22,857.80 short of our $61,750 mid-point goal to stay on the air and fund our 6-member Worldview newscast team for another fiscal year. Toward this Friday, June 20th's goal of $92,625, we need to raise $53,732.80. Remember, if you are one of the 4 final people who give a one-time gift of $1,000, Scooter in Naples, Florida will match you with a corresponding $1,000 gift. Now, if that happens today, Monday, June 16th we will have raised an additional $8,000. In order to raise the remaining amount, I need to find 38 Worldview listeners who will pledge $50/month for 12 months for a gift of $600. And another 76 listeners to pledge $25/month for 12 months for a gift of $300. Has God placed it on your heart to be one of the Christian patriots to fund this unparalleled newscast which unashamedly cites relevant Scripture, includes compelling soundbites, and practical action steps to speak out for Biblical principles?

In this episode, Rabbi Schneider covers three thought-provoking laws of the Torah: The ban on leaven during Passover, the sanctification of the firstborn, and the sharing of the Exodus story with our children. Join in to discover the deeper meaning of these Old Testament laws.
In this episode of the Jewish Inspiration Podcast, we discuss the recent preemptive Israeli military operation against Iran, named "Am Kelavi" (Rising Lion), drawing a parallel to a Torah verse from Numbers 23:24 that likens the Jewish people to a lion—resilient, patient, yet fierce when provoked. He recounts the biblical story of Bilaam, hired by King Balak to curse the Jewish people, only to bless them instead, highlighting divine protection and intervention. We emphasize that Israel's strength lies not in its military or intelligence prowess alone, such as the Mossad or IDF, but in its spiritual connection to Hashem (God). He reflects on the open miracles witnessed on June 13, 2025, referencing Iran's earlier ballistic missile attack on April 14, 2024, which allowed Israel to refine its defenses. We underscore that the Jewish people's true power stems from their faith, prayers, and adherence to mitzvahs (commandments), even amidst adversity, as they remain under divine guardianship.We further explore the concept of spiritual transformation, tying it to the number 40 in Jewish tradition, symbolizing renewal and creation, as seen in events like the 40 years in the desert, 40 days of rain during Noah's flood, and 40 weeks of gestation. We share a poignant story of a boy who intended to save a piece of cake for his mother but ended up with only crumbs, illustrating that even small, imperfect efforts are cherished by God if done with sincerity. We encourage listeners to seize the current miraculous times as an opportunity to deepen their relationship with Hashem through small acts of mitzvahs, emphasizing that every Jew's efforts, no matter how small, contribute to the nation's spiritual strength. The episode concludes with a call to action to break from complacency, embrace mitzvahs, and trust in divine guidance, with the hope for peace and the coming of the Messiah._____________Recorded from a live audience presentation in the TORCH Centre - Levin Family Studios (B) in Houston, Texas on June 13, 2025.Released as Podcast on June 16, 2025_____________DONATE to TORCH: Please consider supporting the podcasts by making a donation to help fund our Jewish outreach and educational efforts at https://www.torchweb.org/support.php.

Join us as we explore the vital trait of eagerness, alacrity, or "zerizut," and its impact on both spiritual and everyday life. We'll discuss how eagerness can propel us towards fulfilling mitzvahs and serving Hashem effectively, using examples like Moshe and Pinchas to highlight the importance of avoiding negative influences. We'll also examine the role of repentance, emphasizing the need for patience and caution in our actions to achieve true perfection. Striking a balance between quick action and careful consideration is key, as too much haste can lead to mishaps both spiritually and practically.In our conversation, we contrast the traits of eagerness and laziness, recognizing eagerness as a powerful tool for achieving great things efficiently, while understanding how laziness can sometimes be strategically employed to avoid undesirable actions. We discuss the importance of channeling our energies towards positive endeavors with urgency, allowing less important tasks to naturally fall by the wayside. We conclude with a heartfelt wish for divine blessings, encouraging listeners to prioritize and approach the right tasks with both speed and enthusiasm, ultimately using eagerness as a tool for success in all areas of life._____________This series on Orchos Tzadikim/Ways of the Righteous is produced in partnership with Hachzek.Join the revolution of daily Mussar study at hachzek.com.We are using the Treasure of Life edition of the Orchos Tzadikkim (Published by Feldheim)Recorded from a live audience presentation in the TORCH Centre - Levin Family Studios (B) in Houston, Texas on February 10, 2025.Released as Podcast on June 16, 2025_____________DONATE to TORCH: Please consider supporting the podcasts by making a donation to help fund our Jewish outreach and educational efforts at https://www.torchweb.org/support.php.

In this message, Michael teaches from Exodus 24, presenting the covenant ceremony at Mount Sinai as God's invitation for His people to step into deeper relationship with Him. The chapter paints a picture of ascending the mountain into God's holy presence—the fullness of joy—but making that ascent requires obedience. This obedience isn't about earning God's love; it's about moving into alignment with His goodness, shedding the sin and destructive patterns that don't belong in His kingdom. Just as Israel said “yes” to the covenant, followers of Jesus are invited to ongoing, daily obedience, trusting that God's commands flow from His heart of love. Communion with God is not just something we wait for after death—it's available now through Jesus, who shepherds us into healing, freedom, and life.

Al reads one brutal comment he wishes he hadn't, and Jase launches into an investigation to find out if it's true. Jase ponders how Si's buddies can buy the rumor of Si's death while he's sitting at the table with them, and he and Missy prepare for their famously chaotic July 4th celebration. Al's sermon on Joshua 3 uncovers how God doesn't just close the distance between us—he erases it entirely. The guys trace the through-line from Genesis 15 to John 8 to show how God transforms our identity, keeps his promises, and brings us into new life through Jesus.
