Podcasts about fig trees

We are all Fig Trees!

Jesus speaks to the hypocrisy that he sees through his actions towards a fig tree and the activities taking place at the temple. A question for us to consider is whether we are simply going through the motions, or do our actions reflect a heart tender towards the Lord? Main Scripture passage: Mark 11:11-25

Meet Kabirvad, a 500 yr-old, 4 acre banyan tree in the heart of Gujarat, India. The spectacular tree is a national treasure associated with Saint Kabir, a 15th century mystic poet known for his timeless poetry. He challenged institutions, religions and social convention. Who was he, and how is his legend tied to a banyan tree? Journey to India to learn about Kabirvad. In understanding the tree, you may find the essence of Kabir himself.GuestsProf. Srinivas ReddyGuest Professor, Humanities Indian Institute of TechnologyGandhinagar, IndiaAuthor, Illuminating Worlds: An Anthology of Classical Indian LiteratureSankalpanaDr. Linda HessProfessor Emerita, Stanford UniversityLinda-Hess.comBodies of Song: Kabir Oral Traditions and Performative Worlds in North IndiaRonak KevadiyaRange Forest OfficerForest and Environment Office, Govt. of GujaratBharuch, IndiaDr. Vikrant JainProfessor, Earth SciencesIndian Institute of TechnologyGandhinagar, IndiaShort Kabir InterviewsAbhia LakhiaJayraj BhattAnuja BhattDr. Sudhanshu SharmaKabeer JesusaKabir Poems ReaderGairik SachdevaCambridge, MALineages of Innovations (Substack)Kabir poems translated and provided by Linda HessMusicRaga Ahiri, performed by Srinivas Reddy (sitar), Rajiv Bhatt (tabla) and Sameer Sahasrabuddhe (tabla)Other ReferencesBurn Down Your House: Provocations from Kabir, Shabnam VirmaniGods, Wasps and Stranglers: The Secret History and Redemptive Future of Fig Trees, Michael ShanahanSpecial thanksOsco Pharmacy, for providing all of the vaccinations I needed for my trip!Theme MusicDiccon Lee, www.deeleetree.comArtworkDahn Hiuni, www.dahnhiuni.com/homeWebsitethisoldtree.showTranscripts available.Follow onFacebook or Instagram We want to hear about the favorite tree in your life!

At Sundance 2025, Alex saw a lovely debut feature from a Tunisian woman director, Where the Wind Comes From. And it made her think about how difficult it can be to find films by women from Africa and the Middle East. But she can recommend several first features from Tunisian women directors that you can watch right now. In this episode, Alex discusses why it's so hard to see films by women from Africa and the Middle East. She talks about why you should watch for Where the Wind Comes From in the future and two films by Tunisian women that you can watch now: As I Open My Eyes (2015) and Under the Fig Trees (2022). ***Join the Seventh Row newsletter to stay updated on Reel Ruminators, free Q&As, and unique opportunities to watch under-the-radar films: http://email.seventh-row.com Related Episodes Women at Cannes Ep. 5: Reviews of Cannes 2022 films by women, including Under the Fig Trees ------- Stay updated on Seventh Row Follow Seventh Row on Twitter, Bluesky and Instagram. Read our articles at seventh-row.com.

We return to Jerusalem on the morning after Jesus's triumphal entry as he curses a fig tree. We'll learn why he did such a strange thing, why he insisted to Greeks that he himself was a grain of wheat, and what all of this reveals about the Garden of Eden - and ourselves. This episode is all about the “nature logic” of the Gospel, and the way the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ is woven into the very fabric of the cosmos. In this episode You have to die before you can live. Jesus' paradoxical teaching about the "grain of wheat" may seem strange at first, but as St. Cyril of Alexandria, Pope Benedict XVI, and Larry Chapp point out, it's written all over the natural world for us to see plainly, foreshadowing the redemptive suffering of Jesus on the cross and echoing the eternal life and love of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. 00:00 Introduction 01:02 Reading of Matthew 18: Jesus Curses the Fig Tree 01:41 Why is Jesus hungry? 02:31 The importance of a fig tree in the Gospel 03:42 God is working to restore paradise for all creation 04:41 The Garden of Eden and gardens in the Gospels 07:12 God is the gardener of salvation history.

Many children around the world grow up singing the nursery rhyme, "Here we go 'round the Mulberry bush." But what is a Mulberry bush? And have you ever even seen its tasty Mulberries in grocery stores? Turns out, this tree (not bush) is better known for something other than its fruit, and that fame has deeply pervaded world cultures whether you know it or not. Listen to find out how, but I'll give you a hint! The Mulberry is closely related to Fig Trees, so it may or may not have something to do with a particular insect.Tons of bonus content is available on my Patreon!

Bible Study Don't just take our word for it . . . take His! We would encourage you to spend time examining the following Scriptures that shaped this sermon: 1 Sam 3:1-20, John 1:43-51. Sermon Notes What is the meaning of Christianity? What is the purpose of the life of faith? Why do we go to church? Sometimes it's good to get back to the basics. Jesus speaks two words that reorient us to the to the end goal of the Christian life - "Follow Me." To receive and respond to these words is to begin a life of discipleship. German pastor and theologian Dietrich Bonhoeffer provides a helpful description of discipleship. It is a "determined quest for him who is the sole object of it all, for Jesus Christ himself."(Cost of Discipleship, "Introduction"). From the call of Nathaniel in John 1, we see three different responses that a follower of Jesus might experience at various points in their faith journey: Initial Skepticism - "Can anything good come out of Nazareth." Skepticism, doubts, and questions are normal.  They need not keep us from investigating Jesus a bit more.  "Come and see." Personal Encounter - "I saw you under the fig tree." Sometimes God shows up in our circumstances in a real and personal way. This can open our eyes to the power and presence of Jesus and help propel us forward in discipleship. Invitation to Greater Things - "You will see greater things than these." Jesus has seen Nathaniel. Now he wants Nathaniel to see him and how he reveals God's glory. Discipleship is about seeing and knowing more and more of Jesus. Sermon Application Whether presently or in the past, what are some doubts or questions that troubled you about the Christian faith? Have you found satisfying answers? Describe a "come and see" approach to engaging skeptics or nonbelieving friends or family? Have you had a "fig tree" experience with God? How did that impact your personal discipleship? Do you want more in 2024? What might "greater things" look like in your life? Questions? Do you have a question about today's sermon? Email Randy Forrester (RForrester@StAndrews.Church).

Jesus begins the greatest sermon with the Beatitudes or blessings. Jesus ends with the bewares. We need both or we will simply be plump snacks for the wolves. Jesus has warned us that life has two paths and now He is warning us about bad leaders.

How do we become people of hope when our time of waiting is uncertain? How can we enact deep hope in the world while we continue our searching and waiting? This week's readings from the Lectionary -  Psalm 80:1-7; 17-19 Isaiah 64:1-91 Corinthians 1:3-9 Mark 13:24-37 

Pastor Steven preaches from Mark 13:24-37Welcome to Pastor Steven G. Lightfoot's Podcast. Sermons and homilies by Rev. Steven G. Lightfoot. Pastor Steven is an ordained elder in the Global Methodist Church and serves as Senior Pastor to First Methodist Church Splendora and Shepherd Methodist Church in Southeast Texas. Thanks for listening! Join us each week for a new message. May God bless you and keep you.

The Rev. Thomas Eckstein, pastor of Concordia Lutheran Church in Jamestown, ND, joins the Rev. Dr. Phil Booe to study Mark 11:1-26. As Jesus rides triumphantly into Jerusalem on a colt, greeted by jubilant crowds waving palm branches, the atmosphere is charged with anticipation. Yet, beneath the surface, tension simmers as Jesus confronts the religious establishment and challenges their practices. We then witness a powerful demonstration of Jesus' authority, as he curses a barren fig tree, and cleanses the temple, symbolizing the impending judgment. Beneath the fast-paced action of Jesus' ministry in the Gospel of Mark lies a profound theological message: we are all in bondage to sin and cannot free ourselves. Though Jesus performs mighty deeds and calls people to repent, they repeatedly fail to understand his true identity and mission. Even his disciples abandon him in his darkest hour. Yet Jesus willingly suffers and dies on the cross as a ransom for many, accomplishing what we could not do ourselves - securing our justification before God. Mark presents Jesus not just as a miracle worker but as the divine Savior whose atoning sacrifice makes salvation possible for lost sinners.

Pastor Matt continues our sermon series in the gospel of Mark looking at Mark 11:12-25.Old Testament Passages on Fig Trees and God's Judgment:Isaiah 34:1-4Jeremiah 29:15-19Hosea 2:10-12Joel 1:1-12Micah 7:1-7And the foreigners who join themselves to the LORD, to minister to him, to love the name of the LORD, and to be his servants, everyone who keeps the Sabbath and does not profane it, and holds fast my covenant - these I will bring to my holy mountain, and make them joyful in my house of prayer; their burnt offerings and their sacrifices will be accepted on my altar; for my house shall be called a house of prayer for all peoples. Isaiah 56:6-7 Has this house, which is called by my name, become a den of robbers in your eyes? Behold, I myself have seen it, declares the LORD.  Jeremiah 7:11Communion Reflection Questions:Are there areas of my life that I need to repent because I am bearing leaves but no fruit?Am I going through the motions, busy with religious work, but my heart is hardened or indifferent to God?Where do I need to repent of my desire to be more focused on doing things for God than resting in and moving in obedience to God?Who do I exclude from hearing God's Word in the name of religion? How do I need to pray for myself and others in light of the reality that Jesus is both Savior and Judge?  Life Church exists to glorify God by making disciples who treasure Christ, grow together, and live on mission.

Episode 38: Our plant today is Fig and our guest is Dr. Lee Reich. Lee is a writer, horticultural consultant, and educator with graduate degrees in soil science and horticulture. Lee is a big fan of Figs (Ficus carica) and in this episode we learn how to successfully propagate, grow, and harvest this ancient plant. Lee explains why it's a challenge to know how many varieties of Figs there really are and shares his tips about how to keep your Fig trees healthy and happy. Figs are unique in the fruit world. Did you know that when you eat a Fig, you aren't eating a fruit? A fig is really a syconium (or synconium), a part of a stem that expands into a sac containing flowers. Luckily for us, Fig syconiums are so delicious! Although, Figs are a true Mediterranean plant, they are adaptable and resilient. Those who live in colder climates, rejoice! You can successfully grow Figs and enjoy your own delicious syconiums. :) Lee shares some of his many methods for Fig growing in cold regions, including growing them in pots, overwintering them in greenhouses and basements, and pruning them so their low growing arms are very close to the ground. Learn more about these techniques in depth in Lee's book Growing Figs in Cold Climates. A former plant and soil researcher for the U.S. Department of Agriculture and Cornell University, Lee's books include Weedless Gardening, Uncommon Fruits for Every Garden, and Growing Figs in Cold Climates. Lee wrote a syndicated gardening column for the Associated Press for nearly 30 years. Lee's farmden- his term for his more than a garden, less than a farm, piece of land, has been featured in many publications like the New York Times and Martha Stewart Living and has won awards from National Gardening and Organic Gardening magazines. Visit Lee's website at leereich.com to learn about Figs, fruit, gardening, soil, and more! Lee was a guest on my other podcast Sustainable World Radio. Click here to listen to the episode Gardening Like Nature, where Lee discusses the art and science of building soil from the ground up and why he believes it's important to pay attention to the top few inches of soil and let nature take care of the rest. Learn about mulch, the importance of compost, and why Lee loves to repurpose what others might call waste in his quest to improve soil fertility and grow vibrant and resilient plants.

In this week's reading, we encounter the events that begin the final days of Jesus' life. Many of these events we have covered in previous episodes in our Holy Week Series, such as Mary anointing Jesus, Jesus' arrival in Jerusalem (twice, actually!) and Jesus' cleansing of the temple (again, twice!). Having already covered the most iconic stories in this week's text freed us up to explore some of the lesser celebrated stories like the cursing of the fig tree, Zacchaeus, and Jesus' critique of hypocrisy. The transcript for this episode is available on our website at www.thefaithfulfeminists.com
