Podcasts about Gad

Monday July 20, 2026VIII Week After Pentecost In today's episode, we explore three passages that call us to wholehearted faith and humble obedience. In Numbers 32, the tribes of Reuben and Gad are challenged to put the needs of God's people ahead of their own comfort, reminding us that following God requires both commitment and courage. In Romans 8, Paul offers incredible hope as the Holy Spirit intercedes for us in our weakness and assures us that God is working all things together for the good of those who love Him. Finally, in Matthew 23, Jesus confronts religious pride and teaches that true greatness is found not in seeking recognition but in serving others with humility. Join us as we discover how God calls us to live with faithfulness, confidence in His purposes, and the heart of a servant.

Teaching by Josh ClarkWeek 5: Inheriting the Promise (Ch 13-19)Opening Activity: What are specific ways you have seen God's faithfulness?1. Outline of Chapters 13-1913:1-7 The Remaining Land (to be conquered)13:8-33 Moses's Allotment to the 2 1/2 tribes  13:8-14 Eastern tribes' boundaries  13:15-23 Reuben  13:24-28 Gad  13:29-31 1/2 Tribe of Manasseh14:1-5 Explanation of Allotment for 9 1/2 tribes14:6-15:63 Judah's Allotment  14:6-15 Caleb's Inheritance  15:1-12 Judah's Boundaries  15:13-19 Caleb, Achsah, & Othniel  15:20-63 Judah's Cities16:1-17:18 Allotment of the Tribes of Joseph18:1-19:51 Allotment of the Remaining Tribes  18:1-10 Introduction - Joshua Sends Surveyors  18:11-28 Benjamin's Allotment  19:1-9 Simeon's Allotment  19:10-16 Zebulun's Allotment  19:17-23 Issachar's Allotment  19:24-31 Asher's Allotment  19:32-39 Naphtali's Allotment  19:40-48 Dan's Allotment  19:49-51 Joshua's Allotment2. The Process of Allotment (14:1-5)- V 1 This is a joint effort between Joshua, Eleazar the priest, and the heads of the tribes- V 2 They cast lots to discern who received what allotment of land- V 2b, 5 The land was allotted as the Lord commanded (Num 26:52-56)3. Caleb's Inheritance (14:6-15; 15:13-19)14:6-15- V 7 Caleb was 40 when he went to spy out the land and when he received the promise- V 8 "made the heart of the people melt" compared to "wholly followed the Lord my God"- V 9 The promise made to Caleb (Num 14:24, 30; 32:12; Deut 1:34-36)- V 10 Caleb is 85 years old when he receives the fulfillment of the promise  - 5 times throughout the passage Caleb refers to what the source of his faith is: God's promise to him (14:6, 10a, 10b, 12a, 12b)15:13-19 Three Examples of Faith- Caleb - drives out the sons of Anak- Othniel - drives out the inhabitants of Debir- Achsah - makes a bold request for more in faith4. The Daughters of Zelophehad (17:3-6)- Num 27:1-11; 36:1-12- Features of their faith:  - Request is made before they have entered the land  - Request was untraditional- The problem: if Zelophehad's daughters marry men from another tribe, the land they inherited will be transferred to their husbands' tribes, removing it from the inheritance of their father's tribe.5. Discontentment in the Tribes of Joseph (17:14-18)- Deut 20:1- The problem is not that God has not provided an adequate amount of space, but that the tribes of Joseph don't believe God is adequate to lead them to victory- God's victories yesterday put today's challenges in perspective6. Shiloh (18:1; 19:51)- This moment reveals a couple of things:  - The divine will was made known to Joshua, Eleazar, and the tribal leaders during the allotment  - With the tabernacle erected at Shiloh, the wilderness period was over and they were making their home in the land  - God dwelled in the midst of his people7. Christ Connection- Just as Joshua, Caleb, Othniel, Achsah, and the daughters of Zelophehad trusted God's promise and received their inheritance, we too receive an inheritance by faith.- Like the inheritance of Zelophehad's daughters, which could not be taken away through human schemes or legal maneuvering, our inheritance cannot be stolen, revoked, or diminished.- 1 Peter 1:3-5- The God who promised the inheritance is the God who preserves his people until they possess it.

When the tribes of Gad and Reuben ask to settle east of the Jordan, Moses hears a threat to Israel's future. Together we'll discover how the Torah and the Book of Joshua model a framework for the people to remain bound by one covenant while living very different realities. In a time when Israeli and Diaspora Jews face different challenges but share one destiny, we'll learn what the Torah teaches about belonging, responsibility, and building a Jewish future together.About Rabbi KotlerRabbi Jamie Kotler teaches Torah and Jewish texts at synagogue communities in the Boston area and beyond.

Sicha 270: Matos Maasei Thu. Jul. 9, 2026 | Tammuz 24, 5786 Chelek chof ches page 210This week's Sicha learning is in honor of:The Sirota family, celebrating the birth of Esther Sirota on 24 Tammuz, with wishes of L'Torah, L'Chuppah, U'Maasim Tovim and many continued simchos.An anonymous sponsor in honor of her birthday.Chana Miriam Huebner, in honor of her son Nosson's birthday on 24 Tammuz.Shaina Zirkind, l'ilui nishmas Harav HaChassid R.

Mordechai Shachneh Zirkind, on his 11th yahrtzeit, 24 Tammuz.The upcoming yahrtzeit of Rabbi Vichnin, a beloved and inspiring mechanech, on 26 Tammuz.The Rebbe teaches that the territory east of the Jordan can represent either a compromise with exile or the beginning of redemption. Gad and Reuven chose it for material reasons, but Menashe received it from Moshe as part of Hashem's plan to extend the holiness of Eretz Yisrael and prepare for the ultimate expansion of its borders in the era of Moshiach. The key is attitude: a Jew may be sent beyond familiar boundaries on a holy mission, yet must never lose the deep love for Eretz Yisrael or become settled in golus. Like Menashe, we are called to remember our true home, reject the mentality of exile, and use every place we find ourselves to advance Moshe's vision and bring the Geulah closer.

One of the most surprising details in this week's Parsha is easy to miss. Moshe doesn't simply tell the tribes of Gad and Reuven to fight alongside the rest of the Jewish people before returning to their own land. He tells them to go as Chalutzim - pioneers at the front of the army, leading the charge and strengthening everyone else's resolve. Why? Because serving the Jewish people means thinking not only about what is best for you, but also about the effect you have on those around you. Through this Torah insight, together with a story about Rabbi Tzvi Yehuda Kook and an unforgettable encounter at a bank, I explore a lesson that reaches far beyond the battlefield. Our responsibility includes more than our actions and words. It includes our attitude, our presence, our body language, and the atmosphere we create for others. Sometimes the greatest act of leadership is simply helping the people around us become stronger. Most of us think responsibility ends with doing the right thing. The Torah says responsibility also includes the spirit in which we do it.

From the ancient words of the Torah to the modern frontlines, a hidden shift is taking place that will redefine what it means to be an Israeli. Is the Haredi draft crisis really about military service—or about the future of the Jewish people? As Israel struggles with one of its most divisive public debates, Geoffrey Stern sits down with Rabbi Yehoshua Pfeffer—founder of the Iyun Institute, editor of Tzarich Iyun, and one of the leading intellectual voices emerging from within the Haredi community—for a thoughtful and surprisingly hopeful conversation. Key Takeaways Brotherhood Before Politics Moses doesn't ask, "Who should be drafted?" He asks, "Shall your brothers go to war while you remain here?" The Torah frames the issue not as one of politics or legal rights, but of achdut—brotherhood, shared destiny, and mutual responsibility. A Quiet Revolution Is Already Underway Behind the headlines, profound changes are taking place within Haredi society. Rabbi Yehoshua Pfeffer argues that a new generation is rediscovering Tanach, engaging questions of citizenship and public responsibility, and seeking ways to integrate Torah values with participation in the life and defense of the Jewish State. Judaism Is Ultimately a Religion of Hope Despite the tensions surrounding the draft, Rabbi Pfeffer remains remarkably optimistic. Like the tribes of Reuben and Gad, both Israeli society and the Haredi community are still evolving. The future will not be shaped by slogans or coercion, but by honest conversation, mutual respect, and a renewed commitment to seeing one another as brothers.

The tribes of Reuven and Gad asked Moshe for permission to settle east of the Jordan River rather than enter the Land of Israel with the rest of the Jewish people. Moshe reluctantly agreed, but only after insisting on conditions designed to preserve their connection to the nation and to the Land. History tells a sobering story. Those tribes were the first Israelites exiled by Assyria, disappearing from Jewish history long before the others. Their downfall was not simply geography, but their separation reminds us that distance from the spiritual center of Jewish life carries real risks. Most of us live outside Israel for good and legitimate reasons. This week's parashah challenges us with a timeless question: if we live far from Israel, what are we doing to keep our connection to the Land, the Jewish people, and our spiritual identity alive? That question mattered in Moshe's day. It matters no less in ours.

Moshe Rabbeinu initially objected when Reuven and Gad chose to settle on the eastern side of the Yarden because their decision was motivated by material wealth rather than the holiness of Eretz Yisrael. Yet later, Moshe himself gave half of Shevet Menashe a portion there. The difference was not the land—it was the motivation. Reuven and Gad sought it for financial reasons, while Menashe, as demonstrated by the daughters of Tzelofchad and their deep love for Eretz Yisrael, never asked for it. Their burning desire for the Land made them worthy of receiving a portion connected to the future expansion of Eretz Yisrael in the days of Moshiach.The name Menashe itself reflects this longing. Although Yosef said, “Ki nashani Elokim kol beis avi,” Chassidus explains that distance from his father's home awakened an even deeper yearning to return. During the Three Weeks, we are called to feel that same longing. Our mourning for the Beis HaMikdash should not remain sadness alone—it should ignite within us a passionate desire for Eretz Yisrael, the complete Geulah, and the rebuilding of the Beis HaMikdash, speedily in our days.לקו״ש כח

1 Samuel 13:1-8 (KJV) Saul reigned one year; and when he had reigned two years over Israel, 2 Saul chose him three thousand men of Israel; whereof two thousand were with Saul in Michmash and in mount Beth-el, and a thousand were with Jonathan in Gibeah of Benjamin: and the rest of the people he sent every man to his tent. 3 And Jonathan smote the garrison of the Philistines that was in Geba, and the Philistines heard of it. And Saul blew the trumpet throughout all the land, saying, Let the Hebrews hear. 4 And all Israel heard say that Saul had smitten a garrison of the Philistines, and that Israel also was had in abomination with the Philistines. And the people were called together after Saul to Gilgal. 5 And the Philistines gathered themselves together to fight with Israel, thirty thousand chariots, and six thousand horsemen, and people as the sand which is on the sea shore in multitude: and they came up, and pitched in Michmash, eastward from Beth-aven. 6 When the men of Israel saw that they were in a strait, (for the people were distressed,) then the people did hide themselves in caves, and in thickets, and in rocks, and in high places, and in pits. 7 And some of the Hebrews went over Jordan to the land of Gad and Gilead. As for Saul, he was yet in Gilgal, and all the people followed him trembling. 8 And he tarried seven days, according to the set time that Samuel had appointed: but Samuel came not to Gilgal; and the people were scattered from him.

This year, the Book of Numbers ends with a double parsha – Mattos and Masei. We learn about the laws of vows and oaths; the miraculous war with Midian; the unusual request of the tribes of Gad and Reuben; the Torah delineates the 42 different places that the Nation encamped for their 40 year sojourn; […]

Saturday, 4 July 2026   So the multitudes said, “This is Jesus, the prophet from Nazareth of Galilee.”  Matthew 21:11   “The ‘also crowds', they said, ‘This, He is the prophet, Jesus, the ‘from Nazareth, the Galilee'.'” (CG)   In the previous verse, when Jesus had come into Jerusalem, the people asked who He was. In response, “The ‘also crowds', they said, ‘This, He is the Prophet, Jesus.'”   This response can be taken in a couple of ways. The first is that they are claiming Jesus is the fulfillment of Moses' words –   “And the Lord said to me: ‘What they have spoken is good. 18 I will raise up for them a Prophet like you from among their brethren, and will put My words in His mouth, and He shall speak to them all that I command Him. 19 And it shall be that whoever will not hear My words, which He speaks in My name, I will require it of him.'” Deuteronomy 18:17-19   This was understood to be a particular prophet who would come in the future, not merely one of a line of prophets. In fact, in John's gospel, that this is a particular individual is made perfectly clear –   “Now this is the testimony of John, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, ‘Who are you?' 20 He confessed, and did not deny, but confessed, ‘I am not the Christ.' 21 And they asked him, ‘What then? Are you Elijah?' He said, ‘I am not.' ‘Are you the Prophet?' And he answered, ‘No.'” John 1:19-21   The other option is that the words “the Prophet” refer to one of the many prophets who had arisen since the time of Moses, such as Samuel, Gad, Daniel, Jeremiah, etc. Thus, the people would be speaking in general terms. Based on His being hailed as the Messiah with the quoting of Psalm 118, the former option seems likely, but it is debatable. Along with being noted as the Prophet, it next says, “the ‘from Nazareth, the Galilee'.”   Jesus (Yeshua) was a common name at the time. To ensure He was identified more fully, the area where He was raised and performed so many miracles is affixed to His identity. The stories of great miracles being performed in the area of the Galilee would have permeated the collective conscience of the people.   Life application: To this day, it is debated who Jesus is. Islam has Him in a list of prophets leading to Muhammad. They deny His deity, and they deny that He was killed or crucified. Instead, they teach that He was raised bodily to heaven, protecting Him from death.   Mormons teach that Jesus was a man who became a god. Liberal churches teach that Jesus was a good teacher, but shy away from anything about Him that is confrontational or causes them to admit that their sinful lives will be judged by Him. They have so watered down the message of Jesus that every perversion imaginable is supposedly considered acceptable to Jesus, calling their vile teaching “loving” and “non-judgmental.”   An overwhelming number of messianic churches, along with groups like the Hebrew Roots Movement, teach that Jesus came to restore and “renew” the Mosaic covenant, thus requiring His people to continue observing the Law of Moses. Jehovah's Witnesses teach that Jesus was the archangel, Michael. He was crucified for sin and then was raised as a “mighty spirit being.” They deny a literal physical resurrection of the Man who is God incarnate.   These are but a few of the skewed and heretical ideas put forth concerning who Jesus is. But getting the “who” of Jesus right is the most important thing any human can do. So important is this issue that CS Lewis, in his book Mere Christianity, used a “poached egg” analogy, illustrating the absurdity of people's thoughts concerning Jesus.   He notes that a man claiming to be God while being merely human would be a lunatic or the Devil of hell, not a teacher. He compared the delusion of claiming divinity to the insanity of a man who believes he is a poached egg.   Either Jesus is the Lord God, or He is not. To deny His deity, if He is God, cannot be overcome in the process of salvation. The Lord alone is without sin, and the Lord alone deserves the glory for what He has accomplished. If He is the Lord God, it is our duty and responsibility to honor Him as such.   Be careful to consider who Jesus is. Get this point right, believe that God has done what He has done through Jesus, and be saved. This is important.   Lord God, may we be strong in our convictions concerning Jesus and what He has done for us. And may we stand firmly on the good news when talking to others. There is no other Savior, no other access to heaven's glory, and no other King of the Universe than the Lord God who has come in the Person of Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

The Two Orders of the Shvatim Welcome to Daily Bitachon. We've been talking about the different months of the year, their symbolism, their connections, and their depth. Today, we're going to discuss the twelve tribes ( Shvatim ) that correspond to the twelve months of the year. The Sefarim tell us that there are two basic approaches to the order of the Shvatim . The first is their birth order : Reuven, Shimon, Levi, Yehuda, Dan, Naftali, Gad, Asher, Yissachar, Zevulun, Yosef, and Binyamin. The second is the order of their encampment . Yaakov Avinu set this order around his bed, which eventually became the layout for how the tribes camped around the Mishkan and the order of the Korbanot (offerings) of the Nessi'im (princes): East: Yehuda, Yissachar, and Zevulun camped together. South: Reuven, Shimon, and Gad. West: Ephraim, Menashe, and Binyamin. North: Dan, Asher, and Naftali. (Note: Levi is not among these twelve because Levi did not carry Yaakov Avinu's bier, nor did they camp with the twelve tribes; they had their own dedicated unit directly around the Mishkan). The Demotion and Latent Power of Tammuz and Av In the original birth order approach, Reuven and Shimon received Nissan and Iyar, which are choice months. However, because Reuven acted impetuously—though, on his high spiritual level, Chazal say "whoever says Reuven sinned is mistaken"—he was removed from that choice position. Shimon was similarly involved in the incident at Shechem and later the story of Zimri. Furthermore, descendants of Reuven were involved in the rebellion of Korach. Because of these lapses, they were, so to say, demoted. Based on the new list of the encampment, Yehuda became the first. Nachshon Ben Aminadav of Yehuda brought the first offering, making Yehuda number one. Reuven was moved to number five, and Shimon to number six. Consequently, Reuven was given the month of Tammuz , and Shimon was given the month of Av . Does that mean Tammuz and Av are bad months? Of course not. Reuven and Shimon were not bad tribes. They merely experienced a temporary lapse. These months are not inherently malicious timeframes; rather, they represent righteous entities that fell but possess the latent power to rise again. Consider their history: Reuven: The prince of Reuven, Elitzur Ben Shedeiur, was a neighbor of Korach and was drawn into the rebellion. Yet, his day of dedication for the Mishkan is still celebrated as a communal holiday. Shimon: Shimon's leader was Zimri, also known as Shelumiel Ben Zurishaddai, who famously sinned with the Midianite princess. According to the Arizal and the Rema Mipano, Zimri later reincarnated as Rabbi Akiva —the man who transformed the spiritual landscape of the Jewish people and famously laughed when seeing the ruins of the Beit HaMikdash because he understood the ultimate consolation. Here we have two tribes that took a momentary dip. Rabbi Akiva is the ultimate source of Torah Sheba'al Peh (the Oral Torah). While we won't go into all the deep connections between Rabbi Akiva and Zimri, one profound rectifying connection stands out: Zimri died while engaging in sensual pleasure involving his skin. Rabbi Akiva died a martyr's death with the Romans scraping his skin with steel combs. The rectification matched the crime. When watching Rabbi Akiva suffer, a bystander wouldn't know his cosmic history, his Gilgul (reincarnation). That is what Gilgulim are all about—we return to this world until we reach perfection. Therefore, Tammuz and Av will also reach perfection. These are inherently great times; there was simply a temporary lapse, and there will be a rebirth and rejuvenation. The Twelve Senses of the Soul The Sefer Bnei Yissachar , in his essays on Tammuz and Av, shares a fascinating concept from the Sefer Yetzirah (an ancient book of Kabbalah). Every month corresponds to one of twelve specific spiritual or physical senses. Here is how the calendar aligns with the tribes and their spiritual faculties: Month Tribe (Encampment Order) Sense / Faculty Spiritual Meaning & Connection Nissan Yehuda Speech We use our mouths to tell the story of Yetziat Mitzrayim (the Exodus). Iyar Yissachar Thought Deep contemplation and introspection during Sefirat HaOmer . Sivan Zevulun Motion / Walking Continual spiritual progress and alignment after Matan Torah . Tammuz Reuven Sight The spies saw the land through a warped lens. Reuven stems from Re'u beni ("See, my son"). Av Shimon Hearing The people accepted the Lashon Hara (evil tongue) of the spies. Shimon stems from Shema ("to listen/hear"). Elul Gad Action A time dedicated to action and doing Teshuvah (repentance). Tishrei Ephraim Intimacy Represents our deep, marital-like connection with HaKadosh Baruch Hu. Heshvan Menashe Smell The most purely spiritual sense indicating the high level we reached after the Yamim Noraim and Succot Kislev Binyamin Sleep / Dreaming Navigating the darkness of the winter. Tevet Dan Anger / Temper Overcoming and rectifying the anger associated with the month of Esav. Shevat Asher Taste / Eating Cultivating holy eating, celebrated on Tu B'Shevat as we taste the fruits. Adar Naftali Laughter Transforming sorrow into ultimate joy on Purim. The Summertime Rectification Now for our clincher. Notice how perfectly this aligns: the months of Tammuz and Av represent seeing and hearing . We know that the 40 days of the spies began on the eve of Rosh Chodesh Tammuz—the month of sight . They looked at the Land of Israel through a warped lens. They returned in the month of Av—the month of hearing —and made the nation weep by causing them to listen to a false, negative report. This is why summertime presents us with a golden opportunity to fix these flaws. Summer is a natural time for testing our sight , due to the inappropriate things that may be out there, and a test for hearing/speech , because people gather together and the temptation for Lashon Hara increases. We are given this time of year specifically to repair these faculties. Wonder of wonders, look at how this is mirrored in the three prophetic readings ( Haftarot ) of rebuke that we read during the Three Weeks on Shabbat: Divrei Yirmiyahu ("The words of Yirmiyahu") — Rectifying Speech . Shimu Devar Hashem ("Hear the word of Hashem") — Rectifying Hearing . Chazon Yeshaya ("The vision of Yeshaya") — Rectifying Sight . Each Shabbat of these three weeks is perfectly designed to repair these exact faculties. It is truly a wonder to see how all these complex pieces of Torah fit together.

Gad Saad is back and this conversation went everywhere. He is an evolutionary behavioral scientist, bestselling author of The Parasitic Mind, and his new book is called Suicidal Empathy.   We get into what suicidal empathy actually means and why he compares it to a hairworm that drives a cricket to drown itself, why open border policies are the most damaging real world example of it, the British grooming gang scandal and the specific identity of the men involved that nobody wanted to name, why social scientists abandoned biology entirely out of fear it could be misused, the blank slate excuse used for repeat felons and why it removes all personal accountability, why Gad had to go through a brutal visa process to legally enter the United States despite his prominence, why the most common email he receives ends with please don't use my name, the moment Drew Brees apologized for loving his own country, and why Gad says Lionel Messi, the most famous athlete on the planet, refuses to ever take a position on anything.   This is one of the most direct, unflinching conversations we have had on this show.   Sponsors:   Your $17.76 3-week QuickStart is ready for you!

We explore the final days of Moses as the Israelites prepare to enter the Promised Land. Despite his enduring physical strength, Moses faces the reality that he cannot cross the Jordan River due to his past disobedience. Joshua is appointed as his successor to lead the people into Canaan. We delve into the challenges Moses faces, including requests from the tribes of Reuben, Gad, and Manasseh to settle outside Canaan, and God's command to drive out the inhabitants of the land. Support the showRead along with us in the Bible Brief App!

Do I have generalised anxiety disorder? Generalised anxiety disorder is a psychological condition, which affects around 3% of all people, according to the Anxiety and Depression Association of America. But it seems to affect certain groups disproportionately. For example, women are twice as likely to be affected as men. Furthermore, less than half of people with GAD receive treatment. What are the symptoms I should be looking out for? What's the best way to go about seeking treatment?  ⁠In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions !⁠ To listen to the last episodes, you can click here : ⁠Why do friend breakups hurt so much?⁠ ⁠Who are the RMT, the organisation creating massive travel disruption across the UK?⁠ ⁠Who are the Moonies, the church with ties to Japanese politicians?⁠ A podcast written and realised by Joseph Chance.

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 complete our study on Rachel and LeahNames in the Bible often say something about the person:Rachel means 'ewe', a female sheep, a symbol of prosperity and security for nomadic people Leah means 'weary or wild cow' Jacob means 'heel grabber', either his brother's heel at the moment of birth or his brother's inheritance later on; the name can also mean 'deceiver' Laban means 'white'; it was sometimes linked with leprosy Reuben means 'behold, a son!' Joseph means 'may he add or increase'The story contains five different episodes:   1 Rachel meets Jacob at the well, Genesis 29:1-14 2 Leah and Rachel marry Jacob, Genesis 29:15-30 3 Rachel has a son, Joseph, Genesis 29:31-15, 30:1-24 4 Rachel and Leah leave with Jacob, and Rachel takes the sacred household deities, Genesis 30:25-43, 31 5 Rachel has a son, Benjamin, and dies soon after, Genesis 35:16-30In our last study we learned about Jacob leaving his homeland and traveling to his mother's homeland of Haran to find a wife. There at the well Jacob meets his future wife Rachel. But hold on Rachel as we learned had a older sister Leah. When Jacob went into their father and asks for his daughters hand in marriage, Labin tricks Jacob into marrying Leah instead of Rachel. So we see that Jacob must fulfill his promise to Labin for the hand of Rachel. As the story unfolds we see Leah producing children for Jacob. However we see that Rachel faced a different problem. No matter how she prayed to Yahweh, no matter how much she was loved by Jacob, Rachel did not conceive. In desperation she gave her maid Bilhah [timid, bashful] to Jacob, so that he could conceive a child with Bilhah as a surrogate mother for Rachel. This practice was common in the ancient world [Code of Khammurabi section 145]; the woman became a concubine instead of a servant, and it was a step up the social ladder for her. She might become the mother of the future tribal leader.  Bilhah had a son, whom Rachel named Dan [judge]. Then she had a second son, and Rachel called him Naphtali [my wrestling]. In response, Leah gave her own maid Zilpah [trickling] to Jacob, and this resulted in yet more sons: Gad [troop] and Asher [happy]. A bitter rivalry grew up between the two women.  We pick up our story in Genesis Chapter 30(1-4) Rachel, out of frustration, gives Jacob her maid Bilhah to bear children through her.(5-6) The birth of Dan.(7-8) The birth of Naphtali.(9-11) The birth of Gad.(12-13) The birth of Asher.(14-18) The birth of Issachar.(19-20) The birth of Zebulun.(21) The birth of Dinah.Finally we read in verse 22 that Yahweh remembers Rachel and opens her womb.Verses 23, 24, “She conceived and bore a son and said, 'Elohim has taken away my reproach'; and she named him Joseph (let me add or adding), saying 'May Yahweh add to me another son!'” Rachel and Leah flee with JacobAt this stage, Jacob felt Yahweh calling him to return to his homeland. Rachel and Leah were also dissatisfied by the way things were panning out financially, and felt they are not getting what they were entitled to as Laban's daughters. It was time to go. They both urged Jacob to take action. It seems that Rachel in particular was still angry at her father for what he had done to her. Before they set out, she took the small figurines that represented the spirits of ancestors and the protective deities of her father's family (the teraphim), telling no one at all what she was doing. This was not a random act of malice, for years ago on what should have been her wedding night, Laban had stolen Rachel's happiness. Now she stole something that was precious to him - pay-back for a life-time of bullying. But her act had wider significance than this, because the teraphim (This word occurs only in the plural, and denotes images connected with magical rites. The teraphim, translated, "images", in the Authorized Version, carried away from Laban, by Rachel, were regarded by Laban as elohims, and it would, therefore, appear that they were used by those who added corrupt practices to the patriarchal religion) were a form of title deed, and the person who possessed them could claim the tribe's wealth. Ownership of the household deities was the privilege of the head of the family, and by taking them Rachel secured this position for her husband.  The whole family group assembled; ready to return to the land of Jacob's father, Isaac. They crossed the Euphrates and headed towards the hill country of Gilead. But it was not going to be as easy as that. Laban pursued them, caught up with them, and confronted them. Where were the household elohims? They were missing and Laban wanted them back.  This was news to Jacob. He did not know Rachel had taken them, since she had kept them hidden and had not told anyone what she had done. Jacob then made one of those foolish pronouncements that give the reader a hint that something bad is coming: he indignantly denied knowledge of the theft, and said that whoever had done such a thing should die. Laban searched the tents of Jacob, Leah, and the two maids to find the teraphim- each woman in a polygamous marriage had her own separate tent.  Laban found nothing. Then he went into Rachel's tent, where the teraphim were hidden. What he did not know was that Rachel had hidden them in the saddlebags of her camel. She greeted her father respectfully but did not rise from where she was sitting. She explained modestly that she could not do so, since she was menstruating.     'Let not my lord be angry that I cannot rise before you, for the way of women is upon me.'This meant that the cloth on which she was sitting was ritually unclean, and could not be touched by anyone. Most ancient tribes had customs that allowed menstruating women to withdraw from physical contact with the tribe while they had their periods, and women welcomed this time of rest from their usual tasks. Rachel's manner towards her father was so sweet and yielding that Laban did not argue or tell her to move, and the upshot was that he left her tent empty-handed. She had used the laws of ritual cleanliness to her own advantage. The irony was that it was a lie. She was already pregnant with a son.Since Laban could not find the teraphim, he had to back down. The two men made a face-saving covenant, and early the next morning Laban said good-bye to them all, and left.When Laban was gone Rachel's family moved on, and on the way to Ephrath she went into labor. This time things did not go well for her. The pains were very bad, and Rachel suffered terribly. To comfort her, the midwife told her it would be a boy. It was, but Rachel would not live to see him grow. She died in childbirth.  Join me as we go Chapter by Chapter, Verse by Verse, Unraveling the Words of Yahweh!Have any questions?

In 2023, the FDA approved escitalopram (Lexapro) for generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) in children aged 7 and older, based largely on one industry-sponsored trial showing a small statistical edge over placebo on the Pediatric Anxiety Rating Scale (PARS). Critics argue the benefits fall below clinically meaningful thresholds while risks—particularly a roughly six-fold increase in treatment-emergent suicidal ideation—raise serious concerns about the risk-benefit balance. This episode explores the trial data, study limitations, broader context of pediatric antidepressant use, and what it means for families and clinicians navigating anxiety treatment options.

Text: 1 Samuel 18 - 21 Supplemental Text: The Fourth Thousand Years chapter 2 BYU Lecture 26: David exercises his faith in God and confronts Goliath, killing him with a rock and sling. David suddenly becomes a military hero to the people of Israel. He meets and befriends the crown prince of Israel, Jonathan – son of King Saul. With all the praise for David from the people of Israel, Saul becomes jealous and feels his power threatened, especially since the prophet Samuel informed Saul that God is planning to replace him with another man, a king worthy of God. King Saul becomes psychotic and makes five failed attempts to kill David. As tension rises, David slips through the land of Israel – seeking refuge in priestly tents, feigning madness in enemy courts, and secretly settles within his own homeland, the land of Judah. David begins to gather followers and allies. As counseled by the prophet Gad, David stays in Judah waiting upon the Lord until circumstances allow him to rise as king of Israel.

Is there such a thing as having too much ⁠empathy⁠? That's a theory gaining the support of some of the world's richest people following the release of a new book by Gad Saad, a Canadian marketing professor and frequent critic of liberal policies. Saad is an evolutionary psychologist, professor at the University of Mississippi, host of The Saad Truth podcast, and author of the No. 1 New York Times bestselling book Suicidal Empathy, where he argues that Western societies are embracing forms of empathy and compassion that can ultimately become self-destructive. We dive into the ideas that have made him both influential and controversial: immigration, gender, identity, culture, free speech, and what he sees as larger changes happening across the West. Some listeners may strongly agree with Gad. Others may take major issue with his framing, philosophy and conclusions. But these are ideas increasingly shaping conversations—especially on the political right—and we thought it was worth digging into them directly. Please note: Parts of this discussion include provocative examples and references to sexual violence that some listeners may find difficult.

Text: 1 Samuel 16-17 Supplemental Text: The Fourth Thousand Years chapter 1 BYU Lecture 25: The Jews use different names for some of their scriptural books than do our Bible scriptures. The following reference table shows these differences:                   JEWISH                                 KJV Bible             1st Book of Kings                    1st Samuel             2nd Book of Kings                   2nd Samuel             3rd Book of Kings                   1st Kings             4th Book of Kings                    2nd Kings             5th Book of Kings                    1st Chronicles (parallels 1st Kings)             6th Book of Kings                    2nd Chronicles (parallels 2nd Kings) All the history and prophecy during this period of time was originally recorded by the prophets Samuel, Nathan and Gad, but the writings were tragically lost. Fortunately, scribes and scholars had extracted some material from the original writings which we have today in these 6 books. It's important to keep in mind that these writings we have today were not recorded by prophets of God, but rather by scribes. Near the beginning of the fourth thousand years (about 1,100 BC) the slothful high priest was Eli. His student Samuel was called by God to replace Eli, to be the new prophet and High Priest of Israel. Samuel's prophetic voice shapes the nation. But Israel eventually rejects Samuel as their leader and demands a king. Distraught by failure, Samuel is reassured by God that Israel has not rejected Samuel but has rejected God. Meanwhile, a humble shepherd boy named David begins life's journey in the shepherd fields.  

https://youtu.be/Qd6qplgMVdU https://www.uncommen.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/May-29th.mp3 The Devastating Cost of Staying Out of the Way There is a silent but devastating epidemic crippling the modern Christian home, and it has absolutely nothing to do with being a bad provider or a bad person. The crisis is happening inside our own families, dressed in the most comfortable, socially acceptable clothing available. It sounds exactly like this: “I just let my wife manage the schedule because she's better at it anyway, and it creates less conflict.” Men repeat this line like a badge of wisdom, like a strategy, like the peace they think they are building. But that sentiment is not wisdom. It is a devastating retreat from the very post God called you to guard — and your family is paying the price for your absence every single day. The modern definition of keeping the peace has tricked men into completely abandoning biblical leadership in the home. We have been sold a massive lie that staying out of the way is a form of grace toward our wives and families. For generations, men have mistakenly assumed that biblical leadership in the home was reserved for intense spiritual giants — the guys who pray for an hour before sunrise and have every theological answer ready on demand. But biblical leadership in the home is not a personality type; it is a command, and it belongs to every man sitting on a couch while his family drifts without direction. The cost of outsourcing this responsibility is not just inconvenient. It is spiritually catastrophic. The Adam Problem: Passivity Is Not Neutral Most men think of passivity as the absence of a problem. If you are not yelling, not absent, not addicted to something destructive, you have cleared the bar. This is the Adam Problem, and it is as old as the first chapter of the human story. When the serpent approached Eve in the garden, Adam was right there — physically present and spiritually absent. He let the enemy speak without challenge, let the fruit get picked without intervention, and then had the audacity to blame the woman God gave him for the entire catastrophe. Biblical leadership in the home was the first thing men abandoned in human history, and we have been repeating that exact pattern ever since. Passive leadership is not neutral territory. Passive leadership is still leadership — it just works entirely for the wrong team. When a passive husband refuses to initiate the spiritual direction of his family, someone else fills that vacuum immediately. The culture fills it. The screens fill it. The school system, the friend group, the social media algorithm fill it. Biblical leadership in the home does not operate in a vacuum; it operates under constant pressure from forces that are absolutely hostile to the faith you are trying to build. Every time you “stay out of the way,” you are making a leadership decision. You are making it by default instead of by design, and the enemy could not be more grateful for your cooperation. Peacekeeping Versus Peacemaking: The Cold War at Your Kitchen Table There is a fundamental, critical difference between peacekeeping and peacemaking, and a staggering number of passive husbands have confused the two completely. Peacekeeping is conflict avoidance dressed up as gentleness. It looks like a man who lets his wife carry the full weight of the family schedule because confronting the chaos feels worse than ignoring it. It looks like a man who goes quiet during an argument because checked out is easier than engaged. Peacekeeping creates a shallow, exhausting Cold War climate in your marriage — the kind where everything appears fine from the outside, but where both people know something critical is fundamentally missing. Biblical leadership in the home is not peacekeeping. It is peacemaking. Peacemaking is far more costly than peacekeeping. In Matthew 5:9, Jesus says: “Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God.” (Matthew 5:9, ESV) The Greek word used here — eirēnopoios — means one who actively creates peace, not one who passively avoids conflict. Biblical leadership in the home is the work of a peacemaker: a man who walks directly into the hard conversation, the messy logistical disaster, the spiritually drifting household, and brings the full weight of his calling to bear on the problem. A passive husband keeps the peace by retreating. A man committed to biblical leadership in the home makes the peace by stepping in, owning the moment, and working toward genuine unity — not just the absence of noise. The Cold War comparison is not an exaggeration. When a man consistently avoids leading, his wife does not feel loved by his deference; she feels alone in it. She adapts by handling everything herself because someone has to. He retreats further because she seems to have it covered. Over time, the marriage develops a functional distance that has nothing to do with love and everything to do with leadership failure. Biblical leadership in the home does not just affect your spiritual life. It shapes the entire emotional climate of your household, and your silence is one of the loudest statements you make every single week. The Numbers 32:6 Indictment: Why Are You Sitting There? The Bible has absolutely no patience for men who stay on the sideline while others carry the battle. In Numbers 32:6, Moses delivers a direct, brutal rebuke to the tribes of Reuben and Gad, who wanted to settle comfortably on the east side of the Jordan rather than cross into the fight: “Shall your brothers go to the war while you sit here?” (Numbers 32:6, ESV) This is not a gentle pastoral suggestion. This is a public indictment of men who found a comfortable situation and decided that the battle belongs to someone else. The spiritual application is devastating in its accuracy. Every passive husband sitting in a home where his wife is fighting the spiritual battle alone is sitting in the exact same chair as Reuben and Gad. Your brothers are going to war. The fight for your children's faith is happening right now, inside your own living room, and biblical leadership in the home demands you pick up and step into it. Not dominate. Not micromanage. But lead. The verse does not ask whether you are a good provider, a conflict-avoidant man, or a genuinely well-meaning husband. It asks one devastating question: Why are you sitting there while the battle rages around you? Biblical leadership in the home does not require perfection. It requires presence — the kind of engaged, intentional, willing-to-be-uncomfortable presence that most passive husbands have been systematically outsourcing for years. What Biblical Leadership in the Home Actually Looks Like Here is what biblical leadership in the home is not: it is not the loudest voice in the room, the man who controls every decision, or the theological expert who delivers a sermon at the dinner table every night. Those are caricatures, and they are the exact caricatures that passive husbands use to justify their retreat. “I'm not that kind of guy,” they say — as if the only two options are domineering tyrant or quiet bystander. Spiritual leadership for men looks nothing like either extreme. Biblical leadership in the home looks like a man who notices the spiritual temperature of his household and takes responsibility for it. It looks like praying out loud with your wife before bed — not because you have the perfect words, but because you refuse to let that moment go unclaimed. It looks like driving the family devotional even when you feel completely unqualified, because your kids do not need a theologian at the head of the table; they need a father who takes their faith seriously enough to show up for it. It looks like sitting down with your wife and presenting a thoughtful game plan for a major family decision instead of waiting for her to solve it alone. Spiritual leadership for men is fundamentally relational and practical, not performative. The Barna Group has documented consistently that men who actively step into the spiritual leadership of their homes raise children dramatically more likely to maintain their faith into adulthood. (Barna Group Research on Family and Faith) Biblical leadership in the home has generational consequences that ripple far beyond the week you decide to start. The man who steps into this calling today is not just changing his marriage. He is redirecting the trajectory of his entire family for decades. Blind Spots: Why Good Men Stay Passive Most passive husbands are not cruel men. They are not men who have consciously decided not to lead. They are men who have developed powerful, deeply ingrained blind spots that make their retreat feel reasonable — even noble. Understanding these blind spots is a critical component of reclaiming spiritual leadership for men who genuinely want to change. The first blind spot is the competency myth: “She is better at this than I am.” This statement is almost always true on a functional level and completely irrelevant on a leadership level. Biblical leadership in the home is not about being the most competent person in the household. Your wife may be a better organizer, a more emotionally intelligent parent, and a more consistent prayer warrior. None of that eliminates your responsibility to lead. A man who truly grasps biblical leadership in the home invites his wife's strengths into the process rather than using them as an excuse to opt out permanently. The second blind spot is the conflict avoidance trap. Men who grew up in explosive households are often so committed to not repeating that environment that they swing entirely to the opposite extreme. The silence feels like safety. But biblical leadership in the home requires you to make a fundamental distinction: there is a massive difference between a man who avoids creating unnecessary conflict and a man who avoids every uncomfortable moment....

The Tribulation: Hell on Earth   Our springboard text is Revelation 6:16-17: “And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb: For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?”   These words, ripped from the throats of kings and great men, rich men and chief captains, mighty men and every bondman and every free man, echo across the shattered landscape of a world in collapse.    As the sixth seal bursts open, the sky rolls up like a scroll, mountains and islands are moved out of their places, and the sun turns black as sackcloth while the moon becomes as blood.  Men do not cry out for mercy; they scream for the rocks to crush them rather than face the wrath of the Lamb. This is the Tribulation—the seven-year period of divine judgment poured out upon a Christ-rejecting world. It is hell on earth, the time of Jacob's trouble, the great tribulation spoken of by the Lord Jesus in Matthew 24:21 as unparalleled in human history.    The book of Revelation, the unveiling of Jesus Christ, lays it bare in vivid, terrifying detail. We will walk through it in the exact prophetic timeline John received, seal by seal, trumpet by trumpet, bowl by bowl, pausing at the parenthetical texts the Holy Spirit inserts to show us the behind-the-scenes reality of salvation and conflict amid the judgments. After the messages to the seven churches in Revelation 1–3, John is caught up through an open door in heaven in chapter 4.        There he sees the throne of God, the four living creatures crying “Holy, holy, holy,” and the twenty-four elders casting their crowns. In chapter 5 the Lamb as it had been slain takes the seven-sealed scroll from the right hand of Him who sits on the throne. Heaven explodes in worship: “Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation.” Then, in chapter 6, the Lamb begins to break the seals, and hell on earth is unleashed in perfect, ordered fury. The first seal: Revelation 6:1-2. “And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals, and I heard, as it were the noise of thunder, one of the four beasts saying, Come and see. And I saw, and behold a white horse: and he that sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given unto him: and he went forth conquering, and to conquer.”  A counterfeit Christ rides forth—the Antichrist—deceiving the nations with a false peace. No arrows yet, only a bow; he conquers through diplomacy and lies before the sword is unsheathed. The world cheers a man of peace who is in reality the man of sin. The second seal: Revelation 6:3-4. “And when he had opened the second seal, I heard the second beast say, Come and see. And there went out another horse that was red: and power was given to him that sat thereon to take peace from the earth, and that they should kill one another: and there was given unto him a great sword.”    Global war erupts. The red horse rider turns the planet into a slaughterhouse. Brother against brother, nation against nation—blood flows in rivers as the false peace shatters. The third seal: Revelation 6:5-6. “And when he had opened the third seal, I heard the third beast say, Come and see. And I beheld, and lo a black horse; and he that sat on him had a pair of balances in his hand. And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts say, A measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny; and see thou hurt not the oil and the wine.”  Famine stalks the earth. A day's wages buys only a quart of wheat or three quarts of barley—bare survival. The rich may still afford luxuries, but the masses starve while inflation and scarcity crush the poor. The fourth seal: Revelation 6:7-8. “And when he had opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth beast say, Come and see. And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth.”  One-quarter of the world's population—billions—die in a single stroke from war, famine, plague, and wild beasts turned savage. Death rides with hell at his heels, reaping a harvest so vast the imagination recoils. The fifth seal: Revelation 6:9-11. “And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held: And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth? And white robes were given unto every one of them; and it was said unto them, that they should rest yet for a little season, until their fellowservants also and their brethren, that should be killed as they were, should be fulfilled.”      The martyrs cry from beneath the altar, their blood crying out for vengeance. More will join them—tribulation saints slaughtered for refusing the beast. Then comes the sixth seal, and the parenthetical pause is not yet. The cosmic cataclysm of Revelation 6:12-17: earthquake so violent every mountain and island moves, sun black, moon blood-red, stars falling like untimely figs, sky rolling up like a scroll. Men of every class hide in caves and beg the rocks to fall on them—“from the wrath of the Lamb.” This is only the beginning.   Now the first major parenthetical text breaks the chronological flow in Revelation 7. While the judgments continue on earth, heaven reveals two groups preserved and saved amid the horror.    First, the 144,000 Jewish evangelists: Revelation 7:4-8. “And I heard the number of them which were sealed: and there were sealed an hundred and forty and four thousand of all the tribes of the children of Israel.”      Twelve thousand from each tribe—Judah, Reuben, Gad, Asher, Naphtali, Manasseh, Simeon, Levi, Issachar, Zebulun, Joseph, Benjamin—sealed on their foreheads with the seal of the living God.    These are not the church; they are literal Jews, protected supernaturally so they cannot be harmed by the coming trumpet and bowl judgments. They become the greatest missionary force in history, preaching the everlasting gospel to every nation, kindred, tongue, and people while the world burns.   Because of their fearless proclamation—and the ministry of the two witnesses yet to come—an innumerable multitude is saved. Revelation 7:9-17: “After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands… These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.”      Millions upon millions—Gentiles from every corner of the globe—turn to Christ during this hellish time. They endure hunger, thirst, scorching heat, and persecution, yet they stand before the throne, palms waving, singing of salvation. The 144,000 Jewish evangelists and the two witnesses are the instruments God uses to reap this vast harvest even as wrath falls. The seventh seal brings silence in heaven for half an hour—Revelation 8:1—then the seven trumpets. The first four are ecological and cosmic disasters affecting one-third of the earth. First trumpet: Revelation 8:7. “The first angel sounded, and there followed hail and fire mingled with blood, and they were cast upon the earth: and the third part of trees was burnt up, and all green grass was burnt up.” Burning hail and blood rain down; one-third of the planet's vegetation is incinerated.   Second trumpet: Revelation 8:8-9. A burning mountain—perhaps a meteor or volcano—plunges into the sea. One-third of the sea turns to blood, one-third of sea creatures die, one-third of ships are destroyed. Oceans become graveyards. Third trumpet: Revelation 8:10-11. A star named Wormwood falls on one-third of the rivers and springs. Waters turn bitter; “many men died of the waters, because they were made bitter.”   Fourth trumpet: Revelation 8:12. One-third of the sun, moon, and stars are struck. The day and night lose one-third of their light. Darkness deepens over the planet.   Then an angel flies through heaven crying, “Woe, woe, woe, to the inhabiters of the earth by reason of the other voices of the trumpet of the three angels, which are yet to sound!” The three woes are announced.   The fifth trumpet—first woe—Revelation 9:1-12. A star falls, given the key to the bottomless pit. Smoke darkens the sun and air. Locusts pour out—demonic hordes with the power of scorpions. They do not touch grass or trees or those sealed by God, but only the unsealed men. “And to them it was given that they should not kill them, but that they should be tormented five months: and their torment was as the torment of a scorpion, when he striketh a man. And in those days shall men seek death, and shall not find it; and shall desire to die, and death shall flee from them.”    Picture it: locusts shaped like battle horses, crowned like gold, faces of men, hair of women, teeth of lions, iron breastplates, wings roaring like chariots, tails with scorpion stings. For five long months men are stung again and again. The agony is unbearable—burning, electric torment that drives them mad. They claw at their flesh, beg for death, but death refuses to come. This is hell on earth, demonic torture let loose by divine permission. Their king is Abaddon—Apollyon—the destroyer. The sixth trumpet—second woe—Revelation 9:13-21. Four angels bound at the Euphrates are loosed for a precise hour, day, month, and year. An army of two hundred million horsemen is released. “And thus I saw the horses in the vision, and them that sat on them, having breastplates of fire, and of jacinth, and brimstone: and the heads of the horses were as the heads of lions; and out of their mouths issued fire and smoke and brimstone. By these three was the third part of men killed…” Fire, smoke, brimstone, and serpent-like tails with heads that wound. One-third of surviving mankind is slaughtered.  Yet the rest “repented not of the works of their hands, that they should not worship devils, and idols of gold, and silver, and brass, and stone, and of wood… Neither repented they of their murders, nor of their sorceries, nor of their fornication, nor of their thefts.” Even after billions dead, hearts remain stone.   Now the second major parenthetical section: Revelation 10 and 11.  A mighty angel with a rainbow crown and feet like pillars of fire stands on sea and land, holding a little open book. John eats it—sweet as honey in the mouth, bitter in the belly.    He is told he must prophesy again. Then the temple is measured; the outer court is given to the Gentiles for forty-two months. And the two witnesses appear: Revelation 11:3-12. “And I will give power unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days, clothed in sackcloth. These are the two olive trees, and the two candlesticks standing before the God of the earth. And if any man will hurt them, fire proceedeth out of their mouth, and devoureth their enemies.”      They shut heaven so no rain falls, turn waters to blood, and smite the earth with plagues as often as they will. For 1,260 days they torment the beast's kingdom. Then the beast from the bottomless pit kills them. Their bodies lie in the street of the great city for three and a half days while the world rejoices and sends gifts. But suddenly breath enters them; they stand on their feet. A voice from heaven calls, “Come up hither,” and they ascend in a cloud while their enemies watch. A great earthquake follows, killing seven thousand. The two witnesses—likely Enoch and Elijah or Moses and Elijah—preach, perform miracles, and add to the harvest of souls alongside the 144,000.   The seventh trumpet sounds: Revelation 11:15. “The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever.” Heaven rejoices, but the third woe is still to come in full force.   Revelation 12–14 forms the third great parenthetical block, filling in the cosmic and earthly drama. A woman clothed with the sun gives birth to a man child who is caught up to God's throne.    The red dragon—Satan—is cast out of heaven with his angels. “Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time.”    He persecutes the woman (Israel) who flees to the wilderness for 1,260 days. Then the beast rises from the sea—Revelation 13—the Antichrist, empowered by the dragon, with a healed deadly wound that causes the world to worship him. He blasphemes God for forty-two months and makes war on the saints.    The second beast—the false prophet—rises from the earth, performs miracles, makes fire come down from heaven, and forces the world to worship the image of the beast. He causes all to receive a mark in the right hand or forehead—the mark of the beast, 666—without which no one can buy or sell. Those who refuse it are beheaded.   Yet amid this, the 144,000 stand with the Lamb on Mount Zion in Revelation 14:1-5, singing a new song no one else can learn—virgins, firstfruits, without guile.    Three angels fly through heaven: one preaches the everlasting gospel, another announces Babylon's fall, the third warns with the most terrifying words in Scripture: “If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark… The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb: And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever.”    Then the harvest of the earth—both the reaping of the saved and the grapes of wrath trodden outside the city until blood flows to the horse bridles for two hundred miles. Finally the seven bowls—the last plagues, in which the wrath of God is filled up—Revelation 15–16. These are poured out rapidly, one after another, more intense than anything before. First bowl: Revelation 16:2. Noisome and grievous sores break out on everyone who has the mark of the beast and worships his image.    Open, festering ulcers cover their bodies; they cannot sit, cannot lie down, cannot escape the burning pain.   Second bowl: Revelation 16:3. The sea becomes as the blood of a dead man; every living soul in the sea dies. The oceans are one vast, stinking cemetery of rotting flesh.   Third bowl: Revelation 16:4-7. Rivers and fountains turn to blood. The angel of the waters declares it just: “For they have shed the blood of saints and prophets, and thou hast given them blood to drink; for they are worthy.” Fourth bowl: Revelation 16:8-9. The sun is given power to scorch men with fire. Men are burned with fierce heat. Instead of repenting, they blaspheme the name of God “and they repented not to give him glory.”   Fifth bowl: Revelation 16:10-11. The seat of the beast is plunged into darkness. Men gnaw their tongues for pain from the sores and the darkness, yet “they blasphemed the God of heaven because of their pains and their sores, and repented not of their deeds.”     Sixth bowl: Revelation 16:12-16. The great river Euphrates is dried up, preparing the way for the kings of the east. Unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouths of the dragon, beast, and false prophet—demonic miracle-workers gathering the armies of the world to Armageddon for the battle of the great day of God Almighty.   Seventh bowl: Revelation 16:17-21. “It is done.” Voices, thunders, lightnings, the greatest earthquake in history. Every island flees, mountains disappear. The great city is divided into three parts; the cities of the nations fall.    Babylon is remembered before God to receive the cup of the wine of the fierceness of His wrath. And “there fell upon men a great hail out of heaven, every stone about the weight of a talent”—one hundred pounds of ice falling from the sky. Men blaspheme God because the plague of the hail is exceeding great.   Revelation 17–18 details the fall of Babylon the great—the religious and commercial system that intoxicated the nations with her fornication and persecuted the saints.      She is made desolate, naked, eaten, and burned with fire by the ten kings who once supported her. The merchants of the earth weep over her in one hour her riches are destroyed.   All of this is the Tribulation—hell on earth. One-quarter of mankind dead at the fourth seal, another third at the sixth trumpet, billions more from famine, plague, hail, scorching, demonic torment, and war.        Yet through it all, the 144,000 sealed Jewish evangelists and the two witnesses proclaim the gospel, and a great multitude no man can number is saved out of the great tribulation, washing their robes white in the blood of the Lamb. Most harden their hearts, refusing to repent even as they gnaw their tongues and scream under the hailstones. The wrath of the Lamb is poured out without mixture—pure, undiluted, terrifying justice.   The Tribulation ends with the return of the King in Revelation 19. Heaven opens; the white horse rider—Faithful and True—comes with the armies of heaven to tread the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God. The beast and false prophet are cast alive into the lake of fire. Satan is bound. The thousand-year reign begins. But the question remains from our springboard text: “Who shall be able to stand?” Only those whose robes are washed in the blood of the Lamb. The Tribulation is coming. It is the time of God's wrath poured out on a world that has rejected His Son.    Yet even in the darkest hour, grace abounds for those who will call upon the name of the Lord. The 144,000 will preach, the two witnesses will testify, and multitudes will be saved. But for those who take the mark and worship the beast, there is only fire and brimstone forever.   This is the Tribulation. This is hell on earth. May we heed the warning and be found among those who stand before the throne, palms in hand, singing the song of Moses and the Lamb.

Is there such a thing as having too much ⁠empathy⁠? That's a theory gaining the support of some of the world's richest people following the release of a new book by Gad Saad, a Canadian marketing professor and frequent critic of liberal policies. Saad is an evolutionary psychologist, professor at the University of Mississippi, host of The Saad Truth podcast, and author of the No. 1 New York Times bestselling book Suicidal Empathy, where he argues that Western societies are embracing forms of empathy and compassion that can ultimately become self-destructive. We dive into the ideas that have made him both influential and controversial: immigration, gender, identity, culture, free speech, and what he sees as larger changes happening across the West. Some listeners may strongly agree with Gad. Others may take major issue with his framing, philosophy and conclusions. But these are ideas increasingly shaping conversations—especially on the political right—and we thought it was worth digging into them directly. Please note: Parts of this discussion include provocative examples and references to sexual violence that some listeners may find difficult.

American psychiatry has built a sociological armor around itself that protects it from reform. The armor has two parts. Reverence and complexity. Together they form the most effective institutional defense system in American professional life. And the apparatus, in 2026, has evolved its most refined defensive move yet, the DSM-6 roadmap, which absorbs the entire body of structural critique against the field by publishing thoughtful documents acknowledging the critique is correct, while channeling an entire generation of reform energy into bureaucratic processes that will conclude, eventually, with the publication of a new manual that incorporates the language of the critique without changing what the manual does. Why the apparatus persists despite forty years of evidence it is failing. How residency capture, modality capture, and credentialing capture work together to produce a workforce whose tolerance for the mystery of the work has been systematically lowered. What would have to change. And why none of the obvious answers are actually answers. This episode covers: Of Two Minds. Tanya Luhrmann's anthropology of American psychiatric residency. How young doctors who enter training wanting to think across biological and psychological registers get formed, by the reward structure of training itself, into single-register practitioners. Why this is happening right now to the residents who started in 2025, and why the AI replacement is going to be welcomed by the field that has been preparing for it for a generation. How Aaron Beck got eaten. The careful, curious clinician who let his data change his mind. The three properties of cognitive therapy that made it perfectly compatible with the emerging managed care apparatus. Why Beck himself was not the version of Beck that got reproduced in the training programs. The selection pressure that captures every modality with the same properties, regardless of the founder's intent. The ABA parallel. Ivar Lovaas, the 1987 study, the autism insurance mandates, the BACB explosion. Why Applied Behavior Analysis became mandatory standard of care despite extensive evidence of harm from the autistic community. Henny Kupferstein on PTSD outcomes. The Autistic Self Advocacy Network. Private equity acquisition of ABA chains and what the moral crumple zone looks like at scale. Measurement as the real religion. The PHQ-9 and GAD-7 as Pfizer-funded screening instruments that became, by capture and convenience, the definitions of depression and anxiety in American clinical practice. Campbell's Law. Goodhart's Law. Theodore Porter on quantification as defense against weak internal authority. The IAPT case study from England, Layard's economic argument, David Clark's CBT rollout, Michael Scott's outcome research, Farhad Dalal's cognitive-behavioral tsunami. Why the entire international model of measurement-based care produces excellent statistics and very little durable change. The critics the apparatus could not absorb. Robert Whitaker on long-term outcomes and Anatomy of an Epidemic. Joanna Moncrieff and the 2022 serotonin meta-analysis that should have ended the chemical imbalance theory and didn't. Lisa Cosgrove on DSM-5-TR financial conflicts of interest. Why each of them produced exactly the kind of evidence that should have triggered structural reform, and why the apparatus dismissed each of them through credentialing arguments that were really about boundary policing. The DSM-6 trap. The closure-of-the-trap argument. Why the DSM-6 roadmap, which concedes the entire structural critique, is the apparatus's most sophisticated defensive move yet. Why being invited to participate in the DSM-6 working groups is the mechanism by which the next decade of reform energy gets neutralized. Why the manual is downstream of the apparatus and reforming the manual cannot reform the apparatus. Enshittification of care. Cory Doctorow's framework applied to American mental health. The four constraints that should have prevented it. How each was eliminated. Madeleine Clare Elish on moral crumple zones. Why clinicians absorb the moral and financial cost of an apparatus they did not design. The diploma mill. The accreditation conflict of interest. Why MSW programs, counseling programs, and PsyD programs have doubled their output without any accountability for what they produce. The accountability inversion. The structural fix. Why schools and boards should be liable for the clinicians they produce. Why the field needs both rigorous selection and rigorous accountability, and how the current system has neither. What would change if the field stopped being a diploma mill. Why this is not a return to Freud's priest class. Disagreement was the wisdom. Why the productive conflict between schools of thought was where psychology was actually thinking, and why the DSM-III atheoretical move killed the conversation that produced wisdom. Neither side wins. Why the cold machine and the warm ghost both need each other. Why the answer is not to defeat the apparatus but to stop mistaking it for the work. The coda. The Machines Will Start to Dream. The actual ending of the series. Why you do not need a conspiracy theory for any of this. The cold machines are nothing, the warm ghost is everything. The microcosm is the macrocosm because the systems are human. The AI threat as reality splitting, where the simulated layer becomes thick enough that the substrate underneath stops being accessible. Freud's permanent problem. Bureaucracy as the most successful avoidance technology humans have ever invented. The disbelief at the root. The question of whether you are more scared of yourself than of not seeing life clearly. The wager that even if humans always refuse, professional psychology should stop being the most refined refusal in the culture.

Gad Saad's Suicidal Empathy just became an instant #1 New York Times bestseller — and the thesis is as urgent as it is disturbing: the West is being dismantled not by its enemies, but by its own misguided compassion.Ami sits down with Professor Gad Saad to unpack what's really going on. They cover the Marxist roots of suicidal empathy and how it destroys personal agency, why antisemitism is like a shingles virus — dormant until the conditions are right — and why the concept of "radical Islam" is a comforting lie we need to stop telling. Islam is Islam. Individuals choose how seriously to follow it.They also get into what really happened when Gad spent three hours on Joe Rogan's show trying to counter a tsunami of anti-Israel voices. Why Tucker Carlson and Megyn Kelly's turns were genuinely surprising. Whether audience capture and personal slights — not ideology — drive most of these betrayals. And the only real path back.Support the show: patreon.com/AmisHouse

Study Passage: Numbers 32Now the people of Reuben and the people of Gad had a very great number of livestock. And they saw the land of Jazer and the land of Gilead, and behold, the place was a place for livestock. 2 So the people of Gad and the people of Reuben came and said to Moses and to Eleazar the priest and to the chiefs of the congregation, 3 “Ataroth, Dibon, Jazer, Nimrah, Heshbon, Elealeh, Sebam, Nebo, and Beon, 4 the land that the LORD struck down before the congregation of Israel, is a land for livestock, and your servants have livestock.” 5 And they said, “If we have found favor in your sight, let this land be given to your servants for a possession. Do not take us across the Jordan.”6 But Moses said to the people of Gad and to the people of Reuben, “Shall your brothers go to the war while you sit here? 7 Why will you discourage the heart of the people of Israel from going over into the land that the LORD has given them? 8 Your fathers did this, when I sent them from Kadesh-barnea to see the land. 9 For when they went up to the Valley of Eshcol and saw the land, they discouraged the heart of the people of Israel from going into the land that the LORD had given them. 10 And the LORD's anger was kindled on that day, and he swore, saying, 11 ‘Surely none of the men who came up out of Egypt, from twenty years old and upward, shall see the land that I swore to give to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, because they have not wholly followed me, 12 none except Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite and Joshua the son of Nun, for they have wholly followed the LORD.' 13 And the LORD's anger was kindled against Israel, and he made them wander in the wilderness forty years, until all the generation that had done evil in the sight of the LORD was gone. 14 And behold, you have risen in your fathers' place, a brood of sinful men, to increase still more the fierce anger of the LORD against Israel! 15 For if you turn away from following him, he will again abandon them in the wilderness, and you will destroy all this people.”16 Then they came near to him and said, “We will build sheepfolds here for our livestock, and cities for our little ones, 17 but we will take up arms, ready to go before the people of Israel, until we have brought them to their place. And our little ones shall live in the fortified cities because of the inhabitants of the land. 18 We will not return to our homes until each of the people of Israel has gained his inheritance. 19 For we will not inherit with them on the other side of the Jordan and beyond, because our inheritance has come to us on this side of the Jordan to the east.” 20 So Moses said to them, “If you will do this, if you will take up arms to go before the LORD for the war, 21 and every armed man of you will pass over the Jordan before the LORD, until he has driven out his enemies from before him 22 and the land is subdued before the LORD; then after that you shall return and be free of obligation to the LORD and to Israel, and this land shall be your possession before the LORD. 23 But if you will not do so, behold, you have sinned against the LORD, and be sure your sin will find you out. 24 Build cities for your little ones and folds for your sheep, and do what you have promised.” 25 And the people of Gad and the people of Reuben said to Moses, “Your servants will do as my lord commands. 26 Our little ones, our wives, our livestock, and all our cattle shall remain there in the cities of Gilead, 27 but your servants will pass over, every man who is armed for war, before the LORD to battle, as my lord orders.”28 So Moses gave command concerning them to Eleazar the priest and to Joshua the son of Nun and to the heads of the fathers' houses of the tribes of the people of Israel. 29 And Moses said to them, “If the people of Gad and the people of Reuben, every man who is armed to battle before the LORD, will pass with you over the Jordan and the land shall be subdued before you, then you shall give them the land of Gilead for a possession. 30 However, if they will not pass over with you armed, they shall have possessions among you in the land of Canaan.” 31 And the people of Gad and the people of Reuben answered, “What the LORD has said to your servants, we will do. 32 We will pass over armed before the LORD into the land of Canaan, and the possession of our inheritance shall remain with us beyond the Jordan.”33 And Moses gave to them, to the people of Gad and to the people of Reuben and to the half-tribe of Manasseh the son of Joseph, the kingdom of Sihon king of the Amorites and the kingdom of Og king of Bashan, the land and its cities with their territories, the cities of the land throughout the country. 34 And the people of Gad built Dibon, Ataroth, Aroer, 35 Atroth-shophan, Jazer, Jogbehah, 36 Beth-nimrah and Beth-haran, fortified cities, and folds for sheep. 37 And the people of Reuben built Heshbon, Elealeh, Kiriathaim, 38 Nebo, and Baal-meon (their names were changed), and Sibmah. And they gave other names to the cities that they built. 39 And the sons of Machir the son of Manasseh went to Gilead and captured it, and dispossessed the Amorites who were in it. 40 And Moses gave Gilead to Machir the son of Manasseh, and he settled in it. 41 And Jair the son of Manasseh went and captured their villages, and called them Havvoth-jair. 42 And Nobah went and captured Kenath and its villages, and called it Nobah, after his own name.

Cilvēks ir iemācījies sintezēt teju visu, bet aizvien mums nav aizvietotāja cilvēka asinīm. Asinis nav vienkārši šķidrums, kas rit mūsu ķermenī - tas ir teju vesels orgāns, kura sarežģītā uzbūve un bioķīmija ir kas tāds, ko cilvēks atdarināt laboratorijas apstākļos aizvien nespēj. Bet varbūt kādu dienu spēs? Organiskās sintēzes institūtā (OSI) top pētījumi par to, kā varētu aizvietot šo dārgo šķidrumu un pētnieki ir soli tuvāk atbildei. Vai varam cerēt, ka nākotnē nebūs nepieciešami donori un asinis varēs saražot laboratorijā? Raidījumā Zināmais nezināmajā skaidro OSI Farmaceitiskās farmakoloģijas laboratorijas vadošais pētnieks, Baltijas biomateriālu ekseleces centra Pretklīnisko biomateriālu izpētes grupas vadītājs Antons Sizovs, OSI Farmaceitiskās farmakoloģijas laboratorijas vadošā pētniece, Baltijas biomateriālu ekseleces centra Pretklīnisko biomateriālu izpētes grupaszinātniece Baiba Švalbe. Sazināmies ar Valsts Asinsdonoru centra vadītāju Egitu Poli. Lai arī notiek pētījumi, pilnvērtīgi aizvietot nesanāks. Asinīs ir četri komponenti - plazma, eritrocīti, imūnšūnas un trombocīti. "Kad runājam par mākslīgajām asinīm, vairāk domājam par eritrocītiem, par asins spēju pārnest skābekli," skaidro Antos Sizovs. "Ja ir lieli asins zudumi, galvenais ir nodrošināt, lai skābeklis nokļūtu līdz audiem, kas ir dziļi ķermenī." Gadījumos, kur ir lieli asins zudumi, varētu izmantot mākslīgās asinis. Notiek vairāki pētījumi, lai izstrādātu mākslīgās asinis, arī OSI pētījums ir ar to saistīts.   Jauni materiāli kaulu un locītavu defektu aizstājēju jomā Jau no pirms vairākiem tūkstošiem gadu cilvēki ir meklējuši materiālus, kā aizstāt fiziskos defektus. Pētnieki ir atraduši gan ziloņkaula acs protēzi, gan no ziloņkaula izgatavotu kājas lielā īkšķa protēzi. Tiek uzskatīts, ka šie atradumi nāk no trešā gadu tūkstoša pirms Kristus. Šodien, skatot medicīnas zinātni ortožu un protēžu jomā, ir notikusi pamatīga evolūcija, sākot no koka kājām, kas reiz bija teju neaizstājams pirātu kapteiņa atribūts, ir nostaigāts garš ceļš līdz kaulaudu implantiem un kustīgām protēzēm.

Hezekiah began to reign when he was five and twenty years old, and he reigned nine and twenty years in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Abijah, the daughter of Zechariah.2 And he did that which was right in the sight of the Lord, according to all that David his father had done.3 He in the first year of his reign, in the first month, opened the doors of the house of the Lord, and repaired them.4 And he brought in the priests and the Levites, and gathered them together into the east street,5 And said unto them, Hear me, ye Levites, sanctify now yourselves, and sanctify the house of the Lord God of your fathers, and carry forth the filthiness out of the holy place.6 For our fathers have trespassed, and done that which was evil in the eyes of the Lord our God, and have forsaken him, and have turned away their faces from the habitation of the Lord, and turned their backs.7 Also they have shut up the doors of the porch, and put out the lamps, and have not burned incense nor offered burnt offerings in the holy place unto the God of Israel.8 Wherefore the wrath of the Lord was upon Judah and Jerusalem, and he hath delivered them to trouble, to astonishment, and to hissing, as ye see with your eyes.9 For, lo, our fathers have fallen by the sword, and our sons and our daughters and our wives are in captivity for this.10 Now it is in mine heart to make a covenant with the Lord God of Israel, that his fierce wrath may turn away from us.11 My sons, be not now negligent: for the Lord hath chosen you to stand before him, to serve him, and that ye should minister unto him, and burn incense.12 Then the Levites arose, Mahath the son of Amasai, and Joel the son of Azariah, of the sons of the Kohathites: and of the sons of Merari, Kish the son of Abdi, and Azariah the son of Jehalelel: and of the Gershonites; Joah the son of Zimmah, and Eden the son of Joah:13 And of the sons of Elizaphan; Shimri, and Jeiel: and of the sons of Asaph; Zechariah, and Mattaniah:14 And of the sons of Heman; Jehiel, and Shimei: and of the sons of Jeduthun; Shemaiah, and Uzziel.15 And they gathered their brethren, and sanctified themselves, and came, according to the commandment of the king, by the words of the Lord, to cleanse the house of the Lord.16 And the priests went into the inner part of the house of the Lord, to cleanse it, and brought out all the uncleanness that they found in the temple of the Lord into the court of the house of the Lord. And the Levites took it, to carry it out abroad into the brook Kidron.17 Now they began on the first day of the first month to sanctify, and on the eighth day of the month came they to the porch of the Lord: so they sanctified the house of the Lord in eight days; and in the sixteenth day of the first month they made an end.18 Then they went in to Hezekiah the king, and said, We have cleansed all the house of the Lord, and the altar of burnt offering, with all the vessels thereof, and the shewbread table, with all the vessels thereof.19 Moreover all the vessels, which king Ahaz in his reign did cast away in his transgression, have we prepared and sanctified, and, behold, they are before the altar of the Lord.20 Then Hezekiah the king rose early, and gathered the rulers of the city, and went up to the house of the Lord.21 And they brought seven bullocks, and seven rams, and seven lambs, and seven he goats, for a sin offering for the kingdom, and for the sanctuary, and for Judah. And he commanded the priests the sons of Aaron to offer them on the altar of the Lord.22 So they killed the bullocks, and the priests received the blood, and sprinkled it on the altar: likewise, when they had killed the rams, they sprinkled the blood upon the altar: they killed also the lambs, and they sprinkled the blood upon the altar.23 And they brought forth the he goats for the sin offering before the king and the congregation; and they laid their hands upon them:24 And the priests killed them, and they made reconciliation with their blood upon the altar, to make an atonement for all Israel: for the king commanded that the burnt offering and the sin offering should be made for all Israel.25 And he set the Levites in the house of the Lord with cymbals, with psalteries, and with harps, according to the commandment of David, and of Gad the king's seer, and Nathan the prophet: for so was the commandment of the Lord by his prophets.26 And the Levites stood with the instruments of David, and the priests with the trumpets.27 And Hezekiah commanded to offer the burnt offering upon the altar. And when the burnt offering began, the song of the Lord began also with the trumpets, and with the instruments ordained by David king of Israel.28 And all the congregation worshipped, and the singers sang, and the trumpeters sounded: and all this continued until the burnt offering was finished.29 And when they had made an end of offering, the king and all that were present with him bowed themselves, and worshipped.30 Moreover Hezekiah the king and the princes commanded the Levites to sing praise unto the Lord with the words of David, and of Asaph the seer. And they sang praises with gladness, and they bowed their heads and worshipped.31 Then Hezekiah answered and said, Now ye have consecrated yourselves unto the Lord, come near and bring sacrifices and thank offerings into the house of the Lord. And the congregation brought in sacrifices and thank offerings; and as many as were of a free heart burnt offerings.32 And the number of the burnt offerings, which the congregation brought, was threescore and ten bullocks, an hundred rams, and two hundred lambs: all these were for a burnt offering to the Lord.33 And the consecrated things were six hundred oxen and three thousand sheep.34 But the priests were too few, so that they could not flay all the burnt offerings: wherefore their brethren the Levites did help them, till the work was ended, and until the other priests had sanctified themselves: for the Levites were more upright in heart to sanctify themselves than the priests.35 And also the burnt offerings were in abundance, with the fat of the peace offerings, and the drink offerings for every burnt offering. So the service of the house of the Lord was set in order.36 And Hezekiah rejoiced, and all the people, that God had prepared the people: for the thing was done suddenly.

Don't forget to grab your free scripture journal at ⁠⁠⁠PrayingChristianWomen.com/journal ⁠⁠⁠today! What do you do when God says “Leave” — calling you out of your safe stronghold into the open wilderness? Join Jaime on the Praying Christian Women Podcast for a devotional on Psalm 63 — The Thirsting Soul Satisfied in God — a psalm born out of raw obedience in the wilderness of Judah, where David dares to leave the secure cave of Adullam and his band of four hundred loyal men at the prophet Gad’s command — and still sings for joy in the shadow of God’s wings. Jaime unpacks the historical backdrop from 1 Samuel 22–23, when David was fleeing Saul, had tucked his parents safely away, and had built a strategic military stronghold… only to hear God say, “Leave.” In that dry and weary land with no water, David’s soul thirsts for God more than his body thirsts for drink. He speaks truth before his emotions catch up, declaring that God’s covenant lovingkindness is better than life itself, lifting his hands in praise, clinging to the Lord, and choosing to meditate on Him through the fearful night watches. Come ready to look at your own strongholds — the places that feel secure, logical, and safe — and the moments when God calls you out into uncertainty. Let this psalm remind you that there is no truly secure place apart from Him. Because His lovingkindness is better than life, His wings are the only shelter you need, and in the wilderness, when your soul clings to the One whose right hand upholds you, you can still sing for joy.

Residential treatment gets talked about like a single thing, but most people have no idea what they are walking into until they arrive. I sit down with Rachel Docekal, CEO of the Hanley Foundation in Florida, to open up the “black box” of residential addiction treatment and partial hospitalization (PHP), from how programs are structured to what patients actually do hour by hour.We dig into what separates a quality rehab program from one that is all marketing. Rachel explains measurement based care, why repeat assessments like PHQ 9 and GAD 7 style tools matter, and how teams should adjust treatment based on data instead of vibes. We also address a hard topic: predatory rehab practices, including unethical pressure to relapse to meet ASAM criteria so insurance will pay again, and what ethical, patient centered care should look like instead.Then we get practical. We talk length of stay, why discharge planning must start on day one, and how step down care, sober living, family involvement, and alumni support can make the difference between momentum and relapse. Rachel also walks through a real residential daily schedule including medical and psychiatric care, cohort based groups, nutrition and fitness, and why many programs restrict smartphones to improve engagement and outcomes.If you want a clearer map for choosing a residential treatment center and building an aftercare plan that holds up in real life, press play. Subscribe, share this with someone who needs it, and leave a rating or review so more people can find the show.To learn more about Rachel's program: https://hanleyfoundation.org/To contact Dr. Grover: ammadeeasy@fastmail.com

So now my husband will love me.” 33 She conceived again and gave birth to a son and said, “Because the Lord has heard that I am hated, he has given me this son also.” So she named him Simeon. [2] 34 She conceived again and gave birth to a son. She said, “Now this time my husband will be attached to me, because I have given birth to three sons for him.” That is why he was named Levi. [3] 35 She conceived again and gave birth to a son. She said, “This time I will praise the Lord.” So she named him Judah. [4] Then she stopped having children. Genesis 30 1 When Rachel saw that she was bearing no children for Jacob, Rachel was jealous of her sister. She said to Jacob, “Give me children, or else I will die.” 2 Jacob's anger burned against Rachel, and he said, “Am I in the place of God, who has withheld from you fruit from your womb?” 3 She said, “Here is my maid Bilhah. Go to her, so that she may bear a child for me, and my family will be built up through her.” 4 So she gave her servant girl Bilhah to Jacob as a wife, and he went to her. 5 Bilhah conceived and gave birth to a son for Jacob. 6 Rachel said, “God has judged in my favor. He has heard my voice and has given me a son.” Therefore she named him Dan. [5] 7 Bilhah, Rachel's servant girl, conceived again and bore Jacob a second son. 8 Rachel said, “I have had a desperate struggle with my sister, and I have won.” So she named him Naphtali. [6] 9 When Leah saw that she was no longer bearing sons, she took her servant girl Zilpah and gave her to Jacob as a wife. 10 Zilpah, Leah's servant girl, bore Jacob a son. 11 Leah said, “How fortunate!” So she named him Gad. [7] 12 Zilpah, Leah's servant girl, bore a second son for Jacob. 13 Leah said, “I am blessed, for women will call me blessed.” She named him Asher. [8] 14 At the time of the wheat harvest Reuben went out and found mandrakes [9] in the field and brought them to his mother Leah. Then Rachel said to Leah, “Please give me some of your son's mandrakes.” 15 She said to her, “Isn't it bad enough that you have taken away my husband? Do you want to take away my son's mandrakes as well?” Rachel said, “He will sleep with you tonight for your son's mandrakes.” 16 When Jacob came in from the field in the evening, Leah went out to meet him and said, “You must come to me, because I have hired you with my son's mandrakes.” So he slept with her that night. 17 God listened to Leah, and she conceived and bore Jacob a fifth son. 18 Leah said, “God has given me the wages I deserve, because I gave my servant girl to my husband.” So she named him Issachar. [10] 19 Leah conceived again and bore a sixth son to Jacob. 20 Leah said, “God has given me a great reward. Now my husband will treat me with honor, because I have borne six sons for him.” So she named him Zebulun. [11] 21 Afterward, she gave birth to a daughter and named her Dinah. 22 God remembered Rachel, and God listened to her and opened her womb. 23 She conceived, bore a son, and said, “God has taken away my disgrace.” 24 She named him Joseph [12] and said, “May the Lord add another son to me.” Jacob Versus Laban 25 After Rachel had given birth to Joseph, Jacob said to Laban, “Send me away, that I may go home to my own place in my own country. 26 Give me my wives and my children for whom I have served you, and let me go, because you know how much I have served you.” 27 Laban said to him, “If now I have found favor in your eyes, stay here, for I have learned by divination [13] that the Lord has blessed me because of you.” 28 So he said, “Set your wages for me, and I will pay them.” 29 Jacob said to him, “You know how well I have served you, and how your livestock have fared under my care. 30 For before I came, you had very little, and it has been multiplied many times over. The Lord has blessed you wherever I set foot. Now isn't it time for me to provide for my own household as well?” 31 Laban asked, “What shall I give you?” Jacob said, “You do not have to give me anything. But if you will do this thing for me, I will continue to take your flock to pasture and watch over it: 32 I will pass through all your flocks today and take all the speckled and spotted sheep, every dark brown sheep among the lambs, and the spotted and speckled goats. These will be my wages. 33 This is how I will be able to prove my honesty whenever you demand an accounting of my wages: Any goats that are not spotted or speckled, and any lambs that are not dark brown that are found with me will be treated as stolen.” 34 Laban said, “Very well. We will do what you have said.” 35 But that day Laban removed all the male goats that were streaked and spotted, and all the female goats that were speckled and spotted, every one that had any white on it, and all the dark brown sheep, and handed them over to his sons. 36 Then he separated himself from Jacob by a three days' journey, and Jacob pastured the rest of Laban's flocks. 37 Jacob took fresh branches from poplar, almond, and plane trees. He peeled stripes on them so that the white inside the branches was visible. 38 He put the branches that he had peeled into the gutters of the watering troughs where the flocks came to drink, so the flocks would see them. They conceived when they came to drink. 39 The flocks conceived in front of the branches, and the flocks produced streaked, speckled, and spotted animals. 40 Jacob separated the lambs, and he made the flocks face toward the streaked animals and all the black animals in the flock of Laban, and he kept his own herds separate and did not put them into Laban's flock. 41 And whenever the stronger animals in the flock were in heat, Jacob laid the branches in the gutters where the flocks could see them, so that they would conceive while looking at the branches. 42 But when the weak animals in the flock were in heat, he did not put the branches in. So the weaker animals were Laban's, and the stronger were Jacob's. 43 The man became much wealthier and had large flocks, female servants and male servants, and camels and donkeys.

I doubt that anyone who reads Spurgeon with any consistency and seriousness thinks of him as a soft preacher. Some may have a notion of him as some genial Victorian pulpiteer, but a few sermons will quickly dispel the image, and reveal a man whose compassion is matched with his conviction, whose kindness is rivalled only by his courage. The result is sermons which bite and sting, and sometimes constitute a sustained assault upon the Christian conscience. This sermon is one such, a penetrating study of Numbers 32:23 and the suggestion that Gad and Reuben might have held back when the time came to conquer the Promised Land. Spurgeon transfers the principle to those professing believers who do not go up to spiritual war with their brothers, who sinned against their brothers and their Lord by the great sin of doing nothing. Spurgeon holds nothing back in pressing this principle into the conscience of his hearers, and our own, by extension. This, he makes clear, is a sin that will find us out. There is, of course, a danger that sermons like this will trouble the feeble and stir up a false guilt, but there is an equal need for sermons which fearlessly probe both our motives and our intentions, and call us to consider whether or not we are serving God and his people as we could and as we should.
