(Exodus 10:1-20) We already had blood, frogs, hail, and flies. How bad are locusts really?
Pastor Mattie returns from sabbatical and preaches on the one discipline most of us have never taken seriously: rest. Drawing from Genesis, Exodus, the Psalms, and the life of Jesus, he makes the case that rest isn't the reward you get after the work is done — it's the evidence that God's presence is actually with you, and the rebellion against a performance-driven life that the gospel demands.Support the show
Share a commentSmoke rolls over the mountain, lightning splits the sky, and a trumpet blast grows louder until it feels impossible to ignore. That's the scene at Mount Sinai and it's also the doorway into a question that hits home fast: what does it really look like to meet with God, not casually, but with reverence that changes us?We walk through Exodus 19 to see why the Sinai summit happens in the first place. God starts with a review of grace, carrying His people like an eagle, then calls for a real response of obedience and faithfulness within the Mosaic covenant. Along the way we unpack what it means to belong to God instead of treating Him like someone who exists to serve our plans. The covenant language reveals identity and purpose: God's treasured possession, a kingdom of priests who represent Him and intercede for others, and a holy nation set apart for His name.From there we get very practical about “summit meetings” with God today: choosing a quiet place, coming with a prepared mind, and cultivating a teachable heart that doesn't just hear Scripture but listens and obeys. We also name the common blockers that keep Bible study inconsistent motivation, priority, technique, and apathy and connect it to daily battles with temptation, including how Jesus answered temptation with Deuteronomy. We end by holding two truths together: God is approachable through Jesus Christ, and God is still holy enough to produce awe and trembling.Subscribe for more Bible teaching, share this with someone who needs a reset in their walk with God, and leave a review to help more people find the show.

Bitcoin moved back above $66,000 as U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded a fifth straight day of inflows, bringing roughly $727 million into the market over that stretch. The episode also covers renewed momentum around the CLARITY Act, rapid growth in tokenized assets on Solana, a UK inquiry into crypto banking restrictions, Washington state's legal fight with Kalshi, and Base's planned launch of tokenized equities. Matt also discusses an SEC case involving an alleged $22 million mining scheme, the latest Celsius settlement, Exodus cutting 25% of its workforce, and Bitcoin miners shifting computing power toward AI infrastructure. He explains why miners reallocating compute is a normal part of the crypto cycle, then closes with his skepticism about Litecoin's long-term upside despite its recent breakout.

We talk about how the genesis of Israel as a Jewish state came about as a result of a double exodus: one by Jews, another by Palestinians. This is a hotly debated topic. I've tried my best to present the most common arguments by both sides.
Schwere Hybrid-Pkw sind deutlich weniger klimaschonend als ihr Ruf. Teilweise verbrauchen sie ein Mehrfaches der angegebenen Spritmenge und stoßen entsprechend viel CO₂ aus. Die gemeinnützige Organisation Transport & Environment (T&E) kann das anhand von Datenanalysen zeigen. Und: Wie die Bundesregierung dabei wegschaut. Für T&E-Geschäftsführer Sebastian Bock erzählt dieses Beispiel viel über das Dilemma zwischen kurzfristigem Profit und langfristigem Nutzen. Er weiß aber auch, wie es besser gehen könnte – und wer bereits zeigt, dass es möglich ist. In jeder Folge von »Auch das noch? – Der freundliche Krisenpodcast« sprechen ZEIT-Politikredakteurin Petra Pinzler und Wissenschaftsredakteur Stefan Schmitt über eine Krise der Gegenwart: Es geht um die Klimakrise, das Artensterben, die Energiekrise und Kriege. Jedes Mal hilft eine Expertin oder ein Experte zu verstehen, wie alles zusammenhängt. Nicht um zu verzweifeln, sondern weil Verstehen der erste Schritt zur Lösung ist. Und um Lösungen geht es natürlich auch. Shownotes: - Europas Dachverband für sauberen Verkehr und Energie nennt sich selbst T&E, neben dem Hauptsitz in Brüssel hat er auch einige Büros in europäischen Hauptstädten, darunter in Berlin. In dieser Podcastfolge haben wir über viele Studien gesprochen. Hier sind sie zum Nach- und Weiterlesen: - Datenauswertung zu Hybrid-Pkw in Europa von T&E vom Herbst 2025. - Studie zur Elektroauto-Industrie in Ostdeutschland von T&E aus dem Jahr 2025. - Studie des Fraunhofer ISI aus dem Frühjahr 2026 über die Transformation in der deutschen Automobil- und Zuliefererindustrie – und über die wenigen lauten Bremser der Branche. - T&E-Studie aus dem Frühjahr 2026 über erstmals fallende Durchschnittspreise für Elektroautos in Deutschland. - Und schließlich der Beitrag, den wir angesprochen haben: »Wer kämpft hier noch fürs Klima?«, der Artikel von Petra Pinzler über den Exodus der Klima- und Umweltpolitiker in den Regierungsfraktionen.

In today's episode of the Atheist Experience, Thinker, Godless Engineer, and Kelley Laughlin tackle divine command theory, biblical atrocities, and mystical claims about reality!Andrew in NJ argues that evil is anything outside God's purpose. If God commanded murder, would that be good? The hosts challenge his inconsistent definitions and ask if he'd condemn selling daughters as slaves. When divine command becomes your moral compass, where does accountability go?James in OK claims morality requires God, not human consensus. The hosts confront him on Exodus 21:7 and his rationalization of biblical slavery. Why does God's law permit owning people as property? If God is the source of morality, why does scripture endorse cruelty?Georgi in Bulgaria presents a New Age view that God needs humans for experience and claims ancient structures like Machu Picchu prove supernatural involvement. The hosts explain the known construction methods and redirect him to Truth Wanted for alien topics. Why assume the supernatural when human ingenuity suffices?Juan in Columbia presents a panentheistic view where God is a non-materialistic basis for reality and consciousness. He struggles to clearly define his concept of God. What does it mean to say God is the basis of reality if you can't articulate what that basis is?Thank you for joining us this week!

In this episode of Shadows to Substance, Pastor George Sayour shows that Noah's Ark wasn't merely a vessel of salvation—it was a shadow pointing to Christ, His Church, and the Christian household. Tracing themes through Genesis, the Exodus, Lot's rescue, covenant families, and the New Testament, George reveals how God's pattern of refuge culminates in Christ. Discover why the Christian home is meant to be a place of grace, protection, discipleship, and hope in the midst of a fallen world.
On today's Hour 3 of The Patrick Madrid show, Al wants know the reason for why there is a difference between Catholic and Protestant Bibles. Patrick provides the historical context and explains how these differences surfaced. Paul wants to understand what Jesus means by "new Earth" and when is an imprimatur necessary on a Catholic book? Al - Why the difference between the books in the Catholic Bible and the Protestant Bible? Richard - if that application needed to be signed digitally, he could type W/2 Thessalonians to indicate a reservation of some sort. Frank - Is there a dichotomy in saying that there is no predestination when prophets have prophesied about it and the coming of Christ? Break 1 Paul - What is the New Earth? Paul - Why do some of Fulton Sheens books do not have an imprimatur. is that needed? Jason - I have heard there are 45,000 different Christian denominations around the world. How can we have that many versions of the one story of Jesus? Break 2 Casey - I am very confused by Exodus 4:24, God tried to kill Moses. Why would he do that?
Forgiveness of sin is the heart of redemption in Christ. But that is different than saying God's primary motivation for redemption is forgiveness of sin. In this sermon on “The Glory of God” from Ephesians 1:6, Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones remarks that errant thinking places the human being at the center of salvation rather than God. Instead, the glory of God is the great motive that led God to plan and purpose redemption in Christ. Christians are often lethargic about their salvation but Paul says Christians are redeemed to praise Him. Why should Advent illicit praise to God? Chiefly because in the coming of Christ the revelation of God's glory is seen. Although the glory of God is difficult to define, the term implies God's beauty, majesty, splendor, greatness, might and eternity. Dr. Lloyd-Jones walks through various passages in order to demonstrate how this theme runs throughout Scripture (Genesis 3:24; Exodus 40:34–37; Isaiah 6; Luke 2:14; 2 Corinthians 4:6). Placing the glory of God at the front of one's mind can have great effects in evangelism. By emphasizing the glory of God in their proclamation of the gospel, Christians shall be much more apostolic in their method. While God is about His glory, the highest manifestation of that glory is found in the salvation of sinners.

Walking through key passages in Galatians 5, Colossians 3, Psalms 25, and 1 Peter 3, we trace meekness as both fruit and virtue, something God calls “precious” and something we intentionally “put on” as we mature. Then we watch it play out in real life: Moses facing family criticism in Numbers 12 without self-defense, and Jesus inviting the weary to His yoke in Matthew 11 with gentle authority that brings true spiritual rest.The second half turns into a practical meekness test for everyday relationships: how we correct people who oppose us (2 Timothy 2), live with an unbelieving spouse (1 Peter 3), speak to skeptics with gentleness and reverence, receive hard truth from Scripture (James 1), restore someone caught in sin (Galatians 6), protect church unity (Ephesians 4), and respond to an antagonistic culture with consideration (Titus 3).

In this lesson from the Gate of Repentance (Shaar HaTeshuvah), Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe addresses a practical question that many people ask: How can someone possibly repent for years of repeated mistakes? What about a lifetime of speaking lashon hara, neglecting mitzvos because of poor upbringing, or simply never having learned the proper way to serve Hashem? The Orchot Tzaddikim reassures us that teshuvah is never beyond reach. Every individual is unique, with different strengths, weaknesses, backgrounds, and circumstances. Therefore, repentance is not a one-size-fits-all process. Each person must find the path that best enables them to grow closer to Hashem according to their own abilities and spiritual makeup. A central theme of the episode is that teshuvah is built by strengthening our strengths rather than becoming overwhelmed by our failures. Rabbi Wolbe explains that if fasting or physical hardship would weaken a person's Torah study or service of Hashem, then it is not the appropriate form of repentance for that individual. Instead, the Torah teaches us to increase kindness, truth, Torah learning, heartfelt prayer, humility, volunteering, and helping others. Quoting King Solomon's words, "With kindness and truth, sin is atoned," Rabbi Wolbe emphasizes that positive action transforms a person's spiritual standing. He also cautions against the endless distractions of modern life—from constant news consumption to unnecessary entertainment—that prevent honest self-reflection and meaningful growth. The lesson concludes with a powerful call to create regular moments of solitude and introspection. Rabbi Wolbe shares the practice of hisbodedus—setting aside uninterrupted time to speak with Hashem, reflect on one's life, express gratitude, seek forgiveness, and deepen one's relationship with the Creator. He recalls his grandfather's yeshiva, which even had a dedicated room for quiet contemplation free from every distraction. Finally, Rabbi Wolbe offers an inspiring perspective on current events, reminding us that despite the turmoil in the world, we should focus on recognizing Hashem's countless miracles and expressions of love. Rather than living in fear, we should view these moments as opportunities to strengthen our trust in Hashem, increase our acts of kindness, and continue drawing ever closer to Him. _____________This Podcast Series is Generously Underwritten by Peter & Becky BotvinRecorded at TORCH Centre in the Levin Family Studios (B) to a live audience on December 15, 2025, in Houston, Texas.Released as Podcast on July 20, 2026_____________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)_____________Listen, Subscribe & Share: Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/jewish-inspiration-podcast-rabbi-aryeh-wolbe/id1476610783Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4r0KfjMzmCNQbiNaZBCSU7) to stay inspired!

The relationship between the beaded lacewing larvae and the California termite poses a real problem for those who believe there is no Creator.The lacewing larvae enter termite nests in order to finish their growth cycle. Later, they leave as adults. The problem is that termites are often still at home when the larvae enter the nest. The termites, 30 times the size of the larvae, pose a serious threat to the larvae. But if you watch the larvae enter the nest, they wave their abdomen to an approaching termite and the targeted termite immediately falls over. Upon further study, scientists have learned that the tiny larva releases a chemical that totally paralyzes the termite. Studies have also shown that the chemical works only on this particular species of termite.The evolutionary explanation is that for millions of years lacewing larvae crawled up to every sort of insect madly waving their abdomens at them – and were promptly eaten! One wonders how the larvae survived at all and why it was that their chemical protection just happened to work on those termites that made nice safe tunnels for them to grow in.To believe that the lacewing's defense developed just by chance is nothing more than blind faith. It's not science. And it is a very opposite kind of faith from those who believe in a Creator!Exodus 8:19"Then the magicians said unto Pharaoh, “This is the finger of God.” And Pharaoh's heart was hardened, and he hearkened not unto them, as the Lord had said.”Prayer: Dear Father, Your fingerprints can be seen everywhere in the creation. Give me keener sight so that I may see more of Your workmanship, and so be led to praise You more. In Jesus' Name. Amen.

Penitential Psalms | Psalm 51Part 7 of The Psalms: A Complete Guide to Honest Prayerwith Chris NicholsHow do you move beyond guilt and regret?In this message from Psalm 51, Chris Nichols explores one of the Bible's most powerful prayers of confession. Written after King David's greatest moral failure, Psalm 51 reminds us that God doesn't ask us to hide our brokenness—He invites us to bring it honestly into His presence.The Penitential Psalms teach us that repentance is not about earning God's forgiveness or living in shame. It's about trusting God's mercy, telling the truth about ourselves, and allowing Him to create something new within us. Confession isn't the obstacle to intimacy with God—it is the pathway back to it.In this episode you'll learn:Why confession leads to freedom instead of condemnationHow Psalm 51 models authentic repentanceThe difference between apology and confessionWhy shame keeps us stuck while grace sets us freeWhat it means to ask God for a new heartHow repentance changes the direction of our livesWhy your failures don't have to define your storyNo matter what you've done or how far you've wandered, God's invitation remains the same: return home. Through His mercy, forgiveness, and transforming grace, He continues to restore what sin has broken.Scripture: Psalm 51; Exodus 34:6-7; Luke 23:34Find more messages and resources from COMMUNITY:https://communitychristian.orgDaily devotionals and prayer resources:https://communitychristian.org/daily

Exodus 28:1-43Senior Pastor, Clint PressleySunday, July 19, 2026
Exodus 17:8–12 and Exodus 18:1–11a, 13–26 God never intended for His mission to be carried by a select few. In this Vision Sunday message from Exodus 17–18, we'll look at the kind of church God is calling us to become and what it means for each of us to have a part.
In this episode of the Thinking Talmudist Podcast, Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe continues exploring the Gemara in Tractate Ketubot, uncovering profound lessons about charity, human dignity, empathy, and trust in Hashem. Building on the previous discussion of anonymous giving, the Gemara recounts the generosity of Mar Ukva, who quietly supported a poor neighbor every year before Yom Kippur. When his son observed the recipient enjoying expensive aged wine, Mar Ukva's response was startling: rather than reducing his gift, he doubled it. Rabbi Wolbe explains that true tzedakah is not merely about meeting a person's minimum needs, but about understanding the life they once lived and the emotional pain caused by losing it. The Torah commands us not only to give, but to deeply appreciate another person's unique circumstances and preserve their dignity. The Gemara then examines the extraordinary generosity of Mar Ukva at the end of his life, when he reviewed his charitable giving and concluded that he had not done enough. Rabbi Wolbe uses this discussion to distinguish between ma'aser (tithing)—the portion of one's income entrusted to us by Hashem for distribution—and voluntary charity beyond the tithe. Through practical examples and inspiring stories, he illustrates that generosity is measured not by the absolute amount given, but by the proportion of one's means and the sincerity of one's heart. The episode also explores the halachic balance between giving generously and maintaining responsibility for one's own family's financial well-being. Rabbi Wolbe concludes with moving personal stories that demonstrate the incredible power of bitachon (trust in Hashem) and faithful tzedakah. He recounts the story of a struggling sofer who committed to giving twenty percent of his income despite having almost nothing, only to witness immediate and life-changing Divine blessing. He also shares remarkable experiences of donors whose acts of generosity were met with extraordinary providence. The overarching message is timeless: we often believe that holding onto money creates security, but the Torah teaches the opposite. Hashem entrusts resources to those who faithfully become channels of blessing for others. When we loosen our grip and allow Hashem to guide our generosity, we discover that true wealth is measured not by what we keep, but by what we faithfully give._____________The Thinking Talmudist Podcast shares select teachings of Talmud in a fresh, insightful and meaningful way.

In this lecture, Lawrence Lockett, Jr. speaks about intimacy with Jesus as something that requires pursuit, attention, and protection from distraction. He says that many believers want to know Jesus deeply, but daily life, devices, and competing priorities pull the heart in different directions.He presents the message as a warning about “the allure of other loves,” using Exodus 20, Matthew 6, and 1 John 5 to show that Scripture consistently asks who or what has the heart. He explains that idolatry is not only about statues or ancient practices, but also about misplaced worship and divided allegiance.The lecture focuses first on the first and second commandments. He says God's command is exclusive: no other gods and no created image of God. He describes idols as both false gods and false versions of the true God, and says that people still remake God according to their own preferences, ideologies, or desires.He also distinguishes between “idols by nature” and “idols by placement.” Some idols are openly sinful, while others begin as good gifts such as careers, relationships, children, money, or ministry. The danger, he says, is when a gift becomes ultimate and replaces the Giver.A second section turns to Colossians 3 and the idea that idols are redirected rather than simply removed. He says worship begins in the mind, and repeated influences shape the channels of thought that eventually shape the heart. Christian change, he argues, is not mainly behavior modification but renewed thinking that leads worship back to God.In the final section, he returns to Exodus and Revelation to stress that God begins with grace before giving commands. He says Jesus calls wandering believers to remember, repent, and return to their first love. The message ends by pointing to Jesus as the image of the invisible God, who restores intimacy with God and makes lesser loves lose their appeal.

Snug Irish Pub owner Jim Arnoldt joins Matt Pelsor to celebrate the money raised for Exodus Refugee at their highly successful Snug Whiskey Fest back in May.
Packinghouse's Wednesday night worship service from July 151, 2026. In Exodus 8–10, Pastor Greg explains how each plague was a direct judgment against the false gods of Egypt, revealing that the Lord alone has power over creation while exposing the emptiness of idols and Pharaoh's supposed divinity. He highlights Moses' remarkable transformation from a fearful, reluctant servant into a confident leader who simply obeys God's commands and leaves the outcome in God's hands. The study also contrasts Pharaoh's repeated hardening of his own heart with God's eventual confirmation of Pharaoh's chosen rebellion, demonstrating the danger of continually resisting the Lord. Throughout the message, Pastor Greg reminds believers that God always provides a way of escape for those who trust His word, faithfully blesses those who walk with Him, and desires that people from every nation come to know Him through faith. - Greg Opean - Wednesday, July 15, 2026

Where do Christians find safety as the world grows darker? In this episode of Shadows to Substance, Pastor George Sayour shows that Noah's Ark wasn't merely a vessel of salvation—it was a shadow pointing to Christ, His Church, and the Christian household. Tracing themes through Genesis, the Exodus, Lot's rescue, covenant families, and the New Testament, George reveals how God's pattern of refuge culminates in Christ. Discover why the Christian home is meant to be a place of grace, protection, discipleship, and hope in the midst of a fallen world.
What do you do when life doesn't turn out the way you expected? The Israelites had just witnessed God's miraculous deliverance at the Red Sea, yet only days later they found themselves facing thirst, hunger, and uncertainty in the wilderness. We'll discover that God faithfully provides for His people—not always by removing every difficulty, but by teaching them to trust, obey, and depend on Him one day at a time.Exodus 15-17Erick Jennings, Cornerstone Elder
From Exodus 12
Dave Hopping preaches on Exodus 12:1-13; 29-32 on Sunday, July 19, 2026.
In this study we will take a look at the women within the Bible. We will look at each one of them and see how their story influences our lives today.As we continue our study in this fantastic insight of the Women of the Bible, this morning we shall finish up with Zipporah and then take a look at Miriam the sister of Moses.Miriam (rebellion) – Moses Sister – A ProphetessMiriam was the older sister of Moses, and it was she who watched over him when he was placed in a basket on the River Nile. She went on to become a leader of the Hebrews when they escaped from Egypt and went in search of the Promised Land.Miriam is best known for helping to deliver Moses at the Nile River and leading the Hebrew women in singing, dancing, and playing drums after crossing the Red Sea. Later, she and her brother Aaron challenge the actions and authority of Moses. She understands leadership to embrace diverse voices, female and male. But the price of speaking out is severe; Yahweh punishes her, after which she never speaks, nor is she spoken to. Centuries later, prophecy remembers her as the equal of Moses and Aaron in representing Yahweh before the people, and as the inaugurator of a performance and composition tradition of song, drums, and dances in Israel."I will pour out My Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy."—Joel 2:28. Miriam, the prophetess, the sister of Aaron (Exod. 15:20.), is the first of her order mentioned in the Word of Yahweh. While Yahweh never ordained a woman to be priest, nor do we read of women as bishops or pastors in the New Testament, the vocation of "prophetess" is common to both dispensations. Hannah (1Sam. 1:2) was practically a prophetess, and so was Huldah, to whom King Josiah went in his time of perplexity. Deborah (Judges 4:5) was a prophetess (2Kings 22:14), and there were also false prophetesses, such as Noadiah (Neh. 6:14), as well as false prophets. In the New Testament, Peter expressly declares that the pouring out of the Spirit of Yahweh upon all flesh should be upon sons and daughters, servants, and handmaids, "and they shall prophesy," quoting from the Old Testament. (Joel 2:28-32); compare (Acts 2:17-18.) A number of those who "spake" "AS THE SPIRIT GAVE THEM UTTERANCE," (Acts. 2:4.) of the wonderful works of Yahweh on the Day of Pentecost, were women speaking in the spirit of prophecy. Philip, the deacon, we read, had four daughters "which did prophesy" (Acts 21:9); the Apostle Paul speaks of those women who labored with him in the Gospel. (Phl. 4:3.) It is he who especially recommends that, when women pray and prophesy, their heads should be covered; and explains what is this office of prophesying in the words: "He that prophesieth speaketh unto men to edification, and exhortation, and comfort." (1Chorin. 11:5; 14:3.) And while Paul commands that women should not speak in church, he ordains that all, i.e., both men and women, may prophesy, one by one, that all may learn, and may be comforted. (1Corin. 14:31-34.) Yahweh's order in the family is not according to earthly birthright. Speaking of the leaders of His people Israel, He says: "I sent before thee Moses, Aaron, and Miriam." (Micah 6:4.) All these children of Amram were of the prophet order. Miriam was the eldest, Moses the youngest; yet Moses is first mentioned, because he knew his Yahweh more fully than either his brother or his sister. Aaron, his elder brother, ranks next, and Miriam, the eldest of the three, ranks last.Miriam was a leader of the Hebrew people during the Exodus, the great founding event of Judaism. The episodes we have about her are disjointed and probably only represent a fraction of the stories originally told in the oral tradition of the Hebrew people. The story of Miriam contains four different episodes: 1 Miriam saved her brother Moses, Exodus 2:1-10. This well-known story shows that the survival of the leader of the Exodus, Moses, depended on the courage and ingenuity of one young woman, his sister Miriam. 2 The song of Miriam, Exodus 15:20-21. This fragment of the Song of Miriam is one of the oldest poetic couplets in the Old Testament. It is an example of a literary genre devoted to celebrating military victories with triumphal poems. 3 Miriam's ordeal, Numbers 12. This story is about the authority of established law. Moses was the great lawgiver of the Hebrew people Moses' legislation formed the basis of Hebrew life. The story acknowledged that Miriam and Aaron were both popular leaders, but the Law, represented by Moses, bound them. 4 Miriam's death, Numbers 20:1-2. Miriam died in a waterless place in the wilderness, but Yahweh subsequently caused water to appear there. In this study we take a look #2 The Song of Miriam and #3 Miriam's ordealExodus 15:20-2120. Miriam the prophetess, the sister of Aaron = This is the first mention of Miriam by name, and she is described as the sister of Aaron, so she is therefore also the sister of Moses (Exodus 4:14).We also see that Miriam had some kind of prophetic gift. Later she used her leadership position in an unwise and ungodly way – to challenge the authority of Moses (Numbers 12).Miriam was with Moses throughout the nine plagues. She came out of Egypt with Moses. Miriam was a woman of Yahweh. She was indeed a prophet herself (Exodus 15:20). The fact that Miriam was a prophet is a little known fact because everyone concentrates on Moses. Miriam was called to play a less prominent role than Moses but nevertheless a vital one. Miriam's role as a leader of the Hebrew women was obviously more extensive than is shown in the biblical text. Despite her personal charisma and power, her story has to a large extent been subsumed into the story of her brother Moses. Rulers in the ancient world led through force of arms and military might. Miriam and Moses proposed a different model of leadership. They led by example served their people rather than ruled them did what they believed Yahweh wanted rather than serving their own ends. When the Hebrew's were escaping from Egypt, they crossed what was probably a large papyrus marsh, called the Red Sea in the biblical text. Moses, Miriam, and her second brother Aaron led them. Numbers 12This part of Miriam's story described an incident at Hazeroth (villages), as the Hebrew people wandered in search of their promised land.Going to Moses, Miriam and Aaron raised two points that were troubling them: 1. They questioned his marriage to the Cushite (Ethiopian or Midianite) woman, not because of any personal rivalry, but because Hebrews condemned marriage with a foreigner. Some Bible translations call the woman a Cushite, others Ethiopian and some even say Sudanese. What is clear is that the woman was a foreigner. Bible scholars are divided over whether she was of African decent, as names and geography have changed in meaning over the centuries. In the ancient world the whole of the southern world from Africa to India was denoted by the word Ethiopia (English travelers as late as the 17th Century still used the name in that sense). All this leaves the possibility but not confirmation that Moses wife could have been of African decent. 2. They questioned Moses' authority over them, since Moses was the youngest of the three siblings. Yahweh had communicated with all three of them. Why then should Moses dominate the other two?

New essay publishing on Monday at:https://www.jordanbpeterson.com/blog/https://x.com/jordanbpeterson?lang=en The moment Moses strikes the rock instead of speaking to it, something breaks — not just in the story, but in the entire logic of leadership. This lecture traces the final act of the Exodus narrative, from the golden calf to the poisonous serpents to the strange bronze idol that somehow becomes the precursor to the crucifix, and asks what it all means for a civilization that's starting to forget. Peterson walks through the collapse that happens every time a people abandon self-governance for hedonism, how that abdication quietly summons the tyrant it thinks it's rejecting, and why Korah's revolutionary accusation — that all authority is just power wearing a costume — sounds so familiar right now. The throughline from Moses to Joshua to Christ turns out to be a single radical claim: that the only thing capable of making you immune to poison is the willingness to look at it directly.

In this lesson from the Gate of Repentance (Shaar HaTeshuvah), Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe explains the concept of "Teshuvas HaMishkal"—repentance through restoring spiritual balance. Every sin creates an imbalance in a person's character and relationship with Hashem. Therefore, genuine teshuvah often requires moving in the opposite direction to repair the damage. If a person indulged excessively in physical pleasures, they should practice restraint. If they abused food, drink, wealth, or other worldly enjoyments, they should consciously limit those same areas to rebuild self-control. Rabbi Wolbe emphasizes that the goal is not self-punishment but restoring proper spiritual equilibrium. A central theme of the episode is that Hashem's greatest desire is not punishment, but relationship. Rabbi Wolbe beautifully explains that repentance begins with a profound realization: Hashem was present the entire time. The greatest gift in life is a close relationship with the Almighty, and every act of teshuvah is simply returning to the One who has been patiently waiting for us all along. Through examples from the Talmud, King David, Adam HaRishon, and Menasheh, one of the most sinful kings in Jewish history, Rabbi Wolbe demonstrates that no matter how serious a person's mistakes may be, the gates of repentance remain open. As long as life remains, Hashem eagerly awaits our return. The lesson concludes with practical guidance for personal growth. Rabbi Wolbe teaches that small acts of self-restraint—delaying a meal, walking instead of taking the easier path, or choosing simplicity over indulgence—strengthen the soul's ability to overcome greater temptations. More importantly, every difficulty we experience can become an opportunity for introspection rather than frustration. Whether a minor inconvenience or a significant life challenge, each moment invites us to ask, "What is Hashem teaching me?" Rather than viewing hardship as punishment, we can see it as a loving reminder that Hashem desires our closeness. His patience is limitless, His compassion is constant, and His greatest wish is that we simply come home. _____________This Podcast Series is Generously Underwritten by Peter & Becky BotvinRecorded at TORCH Centre in the Levin Family Studios (B) to a live audience on December 15, 2025, in Houston, Texas.Released as Podcast on July 19, 2026_____________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)_____________Listen, Subscribe & Share: Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/jewish-inspiration-podcast-rabbi-aryeh-wolbe/id1476610783Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4r0KfjMzmCNQbiNaZBCSU7) to stay inspired!

Enjoy this replay from July 19,2026 with Senior Associate Leader Shane Harris. In 2 Corinthians 4:17 Paul says the pressure crushing you is producing an eternal weight of glory — and in Exodus 33, when Moses asked God to show him that glory, God answered by making all His goodness pass by. In this message Shane opens Hebrews 11 to separate two things we often blur. Faith stands for the breakthrough — aimed, laying claim to a specific outcome, holding the title deed to something not yet seen. Hope stands in the goodness of God — anchored to His character, not to the circumstance, so it does not rise and fall with what we can see. The same chapter that lists those who shut the mouths of lions also lists those who were sawn in two, and it calls both of them commended through their faith. Faith reaches for what could change. Hope rests in the One who doesn't.
Today is day 200 and we are on the section on second part of the Fifth Petition: "As we forgive those who trespass against us". 200. How do you forgive others? Forgiveness is a decision of my will and an attitude of my heart that seeks the good of my neighbor, and chooses not to hold against them the damage they have inflicted. I forgive whether they have asked for forgiveness or not. (Exodus 23:4; Leviticus 19:17–18; Matthew 5:38–48; Luke 17:3–4; 23:34; Acts 7:60; Romans 12:14, 17–21; James 5:9; 1 Peter 3:9) We will conclude today with The Collect for Saint Stephen found on page 624 of the Book of Common Prayer (2019).

In Episode 586, Fr. Marc Boulos asks what it truly means to welcome someone in Scripture. In Luke's account of the feeding of the five thousand, the answer is far richer than simple hospitality. Examining the Greek verb ἀποδέχομαι (apodechomai) alongside the Hebrew root צ-ר-ר (ṣ-r-r) and the Arabic ص-ر-ر (ṣ-r-r), Fr. Marc demonstrates that biblical welcome is not merely greeting a stranger—it is binding someone into the community of God.Beginning with Luke 9:14–17, he traces the literary and lexical threads that unite the crowd's welcome of Jesus (Luke 8:40) with Jesus' welcome of the crowd (Luke 9:11), culminating in the wilderness banquet. Along the way, he explores Luke's distinctive vocabulary of reclining (κατακλίνω), the companies (κλισίαι) of fifty, Israel's wilderness camp, the Greek symposium, the Gibeonite covenant meal, Abigail's "bundle of the living" (1 Samuel 25:29), Abraham's guests in Sūrat al-Dhāriyāt (Qur'an 51), Noah's self-bound hearers, the manna traditions of Exodus, Psalms, and the Qur'an, and the recurring biblical contrast between those whom God binds to himself and those who bind themselves to the old.Rather than treating Greek, Hebrew, and Arabic as isolated languages, this study follows their shared literary and lexical patterns to illuminate the grammar of the biblical text, revealing how the wilderness table gathers Jew and Greek into one people under one God. ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

This past Sunday, we continued our SHEMA series by exploring God's personal name, Yahweh, and what it reveals about His character.In Exodus 34, God describes Himself as compassionate, gracious, slow to anger, and abounding in steadfast love and faithfulness. Jesus is the clearest picture of that same God. As we come to know Him more, we grow to love Him more—and we begin to look more like Him.
What's the true purpose of the Ten Commandments? Dr. Robert Creech unpacks how these ancient words are a covenant from God to His redeemed people—meant to shape the community of faith and point to the "good life" grounded in relationship with Him, not simply morality.
