This week we will be studying Deuteronomy 8:1-18 under the theme “Success Without Forgetting God.” The spiritual danger of success in life (and the need for testing in the wilderness) is not that we will lose what God has given us, but that his gifts will convince us we no longer need the Giver.Series Summary: The wilderness exposes what is in the human heart. But it also reveals the unwavering faithfulness of God. Through Israel's fear, grumbling, failures, and blessings, this series will call us to trust God's promises, receive his gracious provision, love him wholeheartedly, and choose the life found in Christ.Fill out our online connection cardHow can we pray for you?

Is there something God is asking you to surrender and trust Him with?In today's episode, Stephanie Alessi Muiña takes us into James 2:21–22 and the story of Abraham, reminding us that sometimes faith means trusting God with the very thing He gave us. Together, we'll reflect on what it means to hold God's blessings with open hands and choose obedience even when surrender feels difficult.We'll be challenged to ask whether our dreams, plans, relationships, or even answered prayers have become more important than following where God is leading us. The goal isn't to fear losing what we love, but to trust the Giver more than the gift.Let's join in prayer and devotion as a community, asking God for an Abraham kind of faith that trusts His character, surrenders freely, and chooses obedience in every season.Tap HERE to send us a text!

I denne uge lukkede transfervinduet i Danmark, og dermed er det blevet tid til at gøre status. Mens der i nogle klubber har været stilstand, har der i andre været godt gang i svingdøren. Derfor bruger til i dag at kåre Superligaens bedst drevne klub. Kresten Mosbæk er allerede rejst hjem fra US Open. Clara Tauson blev ekspederet ud i første runde, så hende kan vi ikke snakke om. Det samme skete for supersøstrene Williams, der var kommet med på en fribillet. Giver det mening, at man kan komme med til de største turneringer, bare fordi man har et stort navn? Til sidst skal vi snakke om varmen i Vueltaen. Søndag måtte arrangørerne forkorte etapen med 80 kilometer, fordi der simpelthen var for varmt. Sammen med Tobias Hansen forsøger vi at finde en løsning på et problem, der kun ser ud til at blive værre i de kommende år.

This Is Us: Part 5 - Giver Luke 16:1-14  A legacy is inherently something that reaches far beyond us, making an impact long after we're gone. So how do we approach the stewardship of our money in a way that leaves a lasting legacy? One of Jesus' parables actually shows us how leveraging our resources for eternity truly is the wisest course of action. If we believe that everything ultimately belongs to God, that radically changes how we handle everything we’ve been entrusted.  What am I doing with what God h as given me?

X2M.262 — Clé: Entry into the Whole Clé means key. It follows Cour and completes the final coordinate of CR21. Cour forms the shared ground upon which a reconciled people can live; Clé names the receiver-threshold through which approach opens toward habitation. It does not confer possession of the whole, manufacture authority, or declare that every promise has arrived. It asks how the same person can receive greater participation, capacity, and responsibility without grasping, losing identity, confusing the gift with its Giver, or becoming the imagined source of what was received. Psalm 27 supplies the beginning. David's “one thing” is not the house, throne, inheritance, or victory, but dwelling with the Lord, beholding His beauty, and seeking Him. God is already the uncreated Source, supreme Good, ultimate Portion, and final End. Clé therefore begins by ordering every created desire beneath desire for God Himself.¹ Abraham demonstrates the movement of faith. God identifies Himself as Abraham's shield and reward, then gives the genuine promise of innumerable offspring. Genesis distinguishes God, the promised good, and the human means used to pursue it. Abraham learns to receive the promise from the Giver, release control over its fulfillment, and refuse possessive mastery even over the true gift. Faith does not extinguish desire; it returns desire to trust.² Proverbs 8:30 gives Clé its governing paradox: “The master craftsman must remain the nursing child.” Mature craftsmanship must remain joined to childlike dependence and delight. The Solomonic mind cannot outrun the Davidic heart. Wisdom, architecture, wealth, and authority remain safe only while the bearer continues receiving as a child and valuing people before the structures meant to serve them.³ Ecclesiastes supplies the interior key. Hebel reveals that created life cannot be seized against time, loss, and death. Yitrôn asks what lasting surplus can finally be possessed; ḥēleq answers with the portion God gives. The response is neither despair nor rejection of the world, but reverent enjoyment of food, work, friendship, generosity, marriage, play, and the ordinary gifts already present. Yitrôn is the question; ḥēleq is the answer; fear of God is the posture; judgment is the final horizon.⁴ Clé compresses this movement: 1 → 0ᵣ → 7 → 0꜀ ⇒ 1′ The present whole passes through relinquishment; the appointed portion is received in lawful differentiation; grasping and self-origination are cleared; and the same person emerges as a more integrated whole before God. The first zero empties the hand without erasing the person. The seven differentiates the gift without dividing God. The second zero clears possessiveness. The resulting 1′ is not divine totality, but received maturity. Clé, then, is entry into the whole through the appointed portion. Christ remains the One who holds the whole, opens the scroll, and governs the seven stars. The key does not unlock everything for the self. It unlocks the self from the need to possess everything, making faithful participation in a far greater field possible.⁵ The earlier record forms the receiver; CR17 tests the constitution; CR21 governs the approach; Ecclesiastes returns the whole to God; and Clé opens the appointed portion toward habitation. Relinquish the whole. Receive the portion. Become whole before God. ⸻ Glorification | The Final Frontier Decrease time over target: Venmo / PayPal @clastronaut Cash App $clastronaut ⸻ ¹ Ps. 27:1–6; John 15:1–11. ² Gen. 15:1–6; 16:1–16; 22:1–19; Heb. 6:13–20. ³ Prov. 8:22–31; 1 Kings 3:5–14; Matt. 18:1–4. ⁴ Eccl. 1:2–3; 2:24–26; 3:1–13; 5:18–20; 12:13–14. ⁵ Rev. 1:16; 5:1–10; 2 Pet. 1:3–4.

The headlines read that Christmas has come in July this year because 36 Santas and Mrs. Clauses and elves met in Denmark for the 69th World Santa Claus Congress. It's a time when employees of the yuletide season begin to talk about making Santa look more real, swap interesting stories, and try to sharpen their skills. They have Santa impersonators that come from as far away as Japan and the U.S. One person said, “Christmas isn't a season, it's a feeling.” I believe that Christmas is more than a feeling. It's a gift of God's Son to the world. Santa Clauses are impersonators—the Giver of Life is for real. Every day ought to be a celebration of the joy and happiness that He brings. Christmas doesn't only come in December and July, but can come every day.

Core Theology 4: The Holy Spirit, The Church, and Last Things (1 of 12)

Parenting can come with plenty of unsolicited comments, especially when you're out in public with your children. In “Reminding Our Hearts That Children Are a Blessing,” Emily Rose Massey challenges us to look beyond cultural attitudes toward children and remember what Scripture says about their value. Psalm 127:3 calls children a gift from the Lord and a reward, giving parents a biblical perspective when the world may treat children as a burden or inconvenience. Our words matter, especially because children are always watching and listening. Emily encourages parents to respond to insensitive comments with truth and grace while also challenging Christians to become people who encourage other parents rather than add to their burdens. When we see children as God sees them, our response can become an opportunity to point others toward His goodness, faithfulness, and grace. Highlights Why common comments about parenting can affect both parents and children What Psalm 127:3 teaches us about the value of children How cultural attitudes can cause us to view children as a burden Why Christians are called to think differently from the culture around them How parents can respond to insensitive comments with truth and love Why children are paying attention to the way adults speak about them How everyday interactions can become opportunities to live out our faith Want more encouragement throughout your week?

Full Transcript Below: Reminding Our Hearts That Children Are a Blessing By: Emily Rose Massey Bible Reading: “Behold, children are a gift of the Lord, the fruit of the womb is a reward” (Psalm 127:3, NASB 1995). “You have your hands full!” If I had a dollar for every time I have heard that phrase in my ten years of being a mom when I was out and about with my kids in public, I would probably be a quasi-millionaire! Well, that might be an over-exaggeration, but I have heard it quite often! Although I know most people are just trying to find something to say to connect with a stranger, I do wish we could find a different phrase to say that encourages moms with little ones who take them out in public. A few times recently, that common phrase was followed up with some extremely rude and inappropriate remarks when they found out that I did not, in fact, have all my children with me and that I had more at home. Our children also hear those negative comments about them. They are much smarter and more observant than we give them credit for sometimes. How do we think their little hearts are being impacted by what strangers believe about their mere existence? It often makes me question how we, as a society, truly view children or big families in general. I only have four children, so I cannot imagine what moms with more than that might hear while grocery shopping! Truthfully, I think we need to pay attention to what the scriptures say about children because God created them. God calls children a blessing, a gift from the Giver of good gifts. Do we have eyes to see them as a blessing? “Behold, children are a gift of the Lord, the fruit of the womb is a reward” (Psalm 127:3, NASB 1995). Intersecting Life & Faith: I understand that those who are not Christians dismiss what the Bible says about any topic, so we should not be very shocked when the world behaves in a worldly way or says unlovely things about what God has created. Unfortunately, our culture speaks more highly of pets than of children. As Christians, though, we need to live counter-culturally and not get swept up in the world’s ways or thinking. We all might be guilty of viewing children as a burden or annoyance from time to time. It’s human nature to be selfish and bothered by anyone (even those tiny ones) who may interrupt our plans or embarrass us in public. We must remind our hearts of what God says about these precious little souls, and we must lead by example. I have shared some of my thoughts regarding these comments in public with my friends who are moms of little ones to encourage them not to grow offended, but to meet these remarks with truth and love. One idea a dear friend shared with me was that when someone tells her that she has her hands full, she responds, “Not as full as my heart!” Friends, this is our opportunity to boast in the Lord’s goodness for blessing us with these children that He calls a reward! Our response to them testifies to our faith in Jesus Christ and can challenge their own thinking about how they view God’s blessings, especially if the person professes to be a follower of Christ. I think it is important to be prepared to have these kind and truthful responses when we are out in public with our children. What other phrases come to mind that you can offer to the strangers who might choose to connect with you about your kids? Ask the Lord for these opportunities to not only respond lovingly but perhaps even engage in conversation about God’s faithfulness and grace that you experience in parenthood. Let’s live our faith out loud when we are running errands at the grocery store, the post office, the doctor’s office, or waiting in line to order some lunch. How can you encourage moms and dads when they are in public with their kids so that they also know that their children are not seen as a burden or nuisance? Our kids are always listening and watching! What kind of response will they hear from your lips when someone tries to shame their existence? I hope they hear how much you love them and thank the Lord for giving you such amazing gifts from above. More importantly, the Lord is listening and watching how we speak of children in our lives or around us. Thank You, Lord, for our children… what abundant blessings they are to our lives! May You receive all the glory in our hearts and lives as parents to these precious souls.

Martin Luther's outrage over a corrupt church selling indulgences helped ignite the Reformation, but the beliefs that grew out of that upheaval still shape Christianity centuries later. Zach, Al, John Luke, and Christian trace Luther's struggle with righteousness through Romans, his controversial problem with the book of James, and the tension between faith and works that Christians still wrestle with today. The guys confront the limits of human understanding, exploring whether our obsession with certainty leads us to argue over mysteries we were never equipped to solve. In this episode: Romans 1:16-17, 20; Romans 3; Romans 4; Romans 6-8; Romans 10; 1 Corinthians 15:1-4; James 2; Hebrews 11 Today's conversation is about Lesson 7 of Theology 101: The Western Theological Tradition taught by various Hillsdale Professors. Take the course with us at no cost to you!  More about Theology 101: Examine the great questions of Western theology from the ancient Hebrews through today. The gift of speech, or reason, given by God to man, enables us to think about God and to worship Him.  This free online course pursues this purpose by examining the nature of God as revealed in the Bible, exploring the great theological questions and controversies of the early Christian church, studying the history of the Reformation and Counter-Reformation, and much more.  We invite you to join us and explore the nature of the relationship between God and man, and how a proper understanding of this relationship can lead to a free and happy life.

Many have been captivated by Jesus, but far fewer make the costly decision to follow him. That's because though Jesus offers us an incredible life of peace, purpose, and satisfaction, that offer is tied to the radical claim that Jesus himself is the source of that life. In this message on John 6, Jonah Kilpatrick, Thrive's summer apprentice, unpacks Jesus controversial statement that he is the bread of life, and that you can't have Jesus' gifts without the Giver.

Suffering is something every person faces, yet it often catches us off guard. Second Timothy 2 offers a clear and honest answer to the question of how we keep going when life is hard. Before addressing suffering directly, it is worth examining how we think about our relationship with God. It is easy to slip into a transactional mindset, giving God our obedience and church attendance while expecting comfort or relief in return. This approach places the gift in front of the Giver and turns God into a vending machine rather than a Father. True faith calls us to seek God not for what He gives, but for who He is. Paul writes to Timothy with a simple but demanding message: keep going. He opens with a call to be strengthened by grace, not willpower, and reminds Timothy that faith is meant to be passed down to others. He then makes a direct turn toward suffering, using three metaphors to illustrate faithful endurance. The soldier keeps his focus on pleasing the one who enlisted him. The athlete competes according to the rules of God's Word. The farmer works hard and gets a front-row seat to what God is building. Each picture points to a life of focused, disciplined, and joyful faithfulness in the middle of difficulty. The second half of the passage shows what suffering actually produces in the life of a believer. Paul, writing from prison, anchors everything in two great hopes. First, Jesus is really alive. Because He endured suffering and rose from the dead, we will too. Second, Jesus is really at work. The word of God cannot be imprisoned, and His purposes will not fail. Union with Christ means that even in our failures and wandering, He remains faithful to us. The right question in suffering is not when it will end, but what God might be doing through it. Suffering is not a sign of abandonment. It is often the very place where God draws closest and does His most transforming work.

Send me a Text Message!You've heard me say it more than once during this series, and you will probably hear me say it a few more times  before we are done. "God has an unlimited capacity to give, but we have a limited capacity to receive." So if we want to live in his overflow we have to learn to let go, open up and give away what He gives us. We need to make space for His generosity, for His overflow. And from those days all the way back in Zarephath, don't you suppose He's been trying to show us theway? The widow of Zarephath became an extraordinary giver. Now what is extraordinary generosity? I'd define it simply as something beyond your ordinary. It's different for each of us, your ordinary is not my ordinary. It's simply the call to take a step beyond your ordinary. And I have to be honest, I want to be an extraordinary giver. How about you?

I dag er han én af de mest afspillede kunstnere på Spotify. Men spørgsmålet er, hvornår hans fans får nok. Dernæst diskuterer Parnasset sundhed og tyndhed i kulturen.

Ecclesiastes 2 records the Preacher's search for satisfaction through pleasure, achievement, possessions, wisdom, and work. Yet after experiencing everything the world could seemingly offer, he concludes that it is vanity and striving after the wind. In this episode of Reading the Bible Daily with Dave, Dave Jenkins explains why pleasure cannot satisfy the soul, why success and achievement cannot provide lasting meaning, why wisdom remains limited by death, and why work apart from God ultimately frustrates us. The chapter ends by directing us toward a better understanding of life: our work, food, enjoyment, and daily blessings are gifts from the hand of God. Meaning is not ultimately found in the gifts, but in the Giver. Ecclesiastes 2 points us beyond the emptiness of life under the sun to our need for Christ. In Him, our lives have lasting purpose, our work is not meaningless, and our joy is rooted in God Himself.

The Negative Image: Is the Muslim Mahdi Actually the Biblical Antichrist? Are we witnessing the greatest deception in human history? In this deep dive, we explore the startling parallels between the biblical Antichrist and the figure known in Islamic eschatology as the Mahdi. While Christians look for the "Son of Perdition," the Muslim world awaits an end-times Messiah to establish global justice and Sharia law. But what if these two figures are actually the same person viewed through different lenses? Satan is a "master counterfeiter" who uses these mirrored prophecies to ensure a massive global following for his agent in the last days. We break down the striking similarities between these two roles, including their shared seven-year period of rule and their ultimate focus on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem. We also take a closer look at a current real-world candidate who began fulfilling these prophecies on December 8, 2024: "Our Guy in Damascus”. The man now leading in Syria is chillingly checks boxes for both the Mahdi and the Antichrist, including:Birthplace: Being born in Saudi Arabia, fulfilling the Mahdi's requirement to emerge from Muhammad's nation.Ethnicity: His Arab and Assyrian descent, matching prophecies for both figures.Lineage: His family's claim of direct descent from the Prophet Muhammad.Biblical Roots: Evidence suggesting he may be a descendant of the tribe of Dan, a key identifier for the Antichrist in early Christian teaching.Character: His rise to power through cunning and his history as a "charming" but dangerous founder of extremist factions.And we've only touched the surface—join us next Friday, 3 PM Pacific, live on TikTok. As the geopolitical map aligns for the final conflict, understanding this "bizarro world" connection between Christian and Muslim eschatology is vital. Is the world being prepared to accept a leader who one faith calls a Savior and the other calls the Beast?

Julie R. Ølgaard er skuespiller, instruktør og manuskriptforfatter og er lige nu aktuel med filmen Dobbeltspil, som hun både har skrevet, instrueret og selv spiller med i. Idéen til Dobbeltspil har boblet rundt hos Julie i omkring 15 år, så vi snakker om den lange vej fra den første tanke til faktisk at stå på et filmset og føre den ud i livet. Hvordan skriver man en film? Hvordan ved man, hvilke idéer der er værd at holde fast i? Og hvordan er det pludselig selv at skulle instruere den historie, man har gået med i hovedet så længe? Vi snakker også om selve livet på et filmset. For selvom alle arbejder på den samme film, er det også et sted med tidspres, ambitioner og mennesker, der skal fungere sammen i mange timer hver dag. Hvad sker der, når bølgerne går højt, og hvordan håndterer man de frustrationer, der næsten uundgåeligt opstår undervejs? Julie fortæller også om at instruere mennesker, hun kender rigtig godt. Giver det en større tryghed, eller betyder det bare, at man hurtigere siger tingene, som de er, fordi man ikke behøver pakke dem ind? Gå fornøjelse, Christian. Vil du høre resten?

This sermon explores how pleasure can either draw us toward God or quietly displace him. Through Deuteronomy 8, Titus 1:15, and the practices of feasting and fasting, Paul Kim considers how gratitude, remembrance, and love for the Giver can shape the way we enjoy God's gifts.

Genesis 22 opens at a moment of rest in Abraham's life. After decades of waiting, wandering, and trusting God through uncertainty, Isaac has finally arrived. The covenant promise is alive and breathing. And then God shows up with a command that seems to contradict everything He had promised. This is not a story about chaos. It is a story about what happens when we grow comfortable holding onto what God gave us, and whether we trust the Giver as much as we treasure the gift.The passage draws a clear line between temptation and testing. Temptation pulls us toward sin and away from God. Testing draws out what we truly trust and deepens faith through obedience. God did not test Abraham because He lacked information. He tested him to move faith from profession to demonstration. The same dynamic plays out in our own lives. The Isaac in your life is not necessarily something sinful. It may be something deeply good, a relationship, a career, a dream, a ministry, an answered prayer. The danger comes when a good gift begins to occupy the place that only belongs to God. Nothing created can carry the weight of being God in your life.Abraham's response to the command is striking. There is no recorded argument, no negotiation, no request for another sign. He rises early and starts walking. And he walks for three days, looking at his son, carrying a command that could not be reconciled with the promise he had held for decades. Somewhere on that road, he reasoned that God could raise the dead. He trusted the Promiser even when he could not understand the method. That is mature faith. It does not demand a complete map before taking the next faithful step. The story ultimately points beyond Abraham and Isaac to a greater sacrifice. Isaac is spared. Jesus is not. The ram dies in Isaac's place. Jesus dies in ours. The deepest provision God has ever made is not something He placed in our hands. It is Someone He gave in our place.

Recognize the 7 Mind Types - How Top Performers Speak Their Customer's LanguageMost salespeople treat every customer the same way. They use one pitch. One approach. One way of communicating. And it doesn't work for everyone.The problem isn't you. The problem is you're not reading the person in front of you. You're not recognizing their mind type.Today Sam sits down with Ridgely Goldsborough, a serial entrepreneur who's started forty-five companies, authored twenty books, and was Jim Rohn's voice in Latin America for decades. In this episode, Ridgely teaches you how to recognize the seven different mind types so you can adapt your communication and close more deals.What You'll Learn:The seven mind types and how to spot them instantly. The Giver loves to make a difference. The Connector values trust above all else. The Problem Solver needs data to make sense of things. The Innovator always wants a better way. The Perfectionist does things right. The Rebel challenges everything. The Master wants depth. Each one is wired differently. Each one communicates differently.Why knowing someone's mind type changes everything. Once you know their mind type, you know their communication keywords. Use those words and they respond as strongly as they respond to their own name. That builds trust. That closes deals.How each mind type has a superpower and a kryptonite. The Giver's superpower is causes. Their kryptonite is overcommitment. The Connector's superpower is trust. Their kryptonite is waste. The Problem Solver's superpower is solutions. Their kryptonite is paralysis when they don't have enough data. Every mind type is exceptional at something and struggles with something else. Knowing yours means you can play to your strength and manage your weakness.Why people who think like you are easy to work with, and why everyone else is difficult. When you don't understand someone's mind type, you clash. The Giver overwhelms the Connector. The Problem Solver frustrates the Innovator. The Perfectionist stifles the Rebel. But when you understand each other's mind type, everything changes.How your personal philosophy shapes which mind type you are. What you read, listen to, watch, and who you hang around with forges who you become. That determines your mind type. That determines how you communicate. That determines your results.Potential beats talent every single time. Someone twenty percent good making one hundred calls talks to twenty people. Someone fifty percent good making ten calls talks to five. Effort beats talent. Volume beats skill. The person willing to work is the person who wins.Why This Matters:If you're struggling to close deals, you probably already know how to sell. The problem is you're not reading the person in front of you. You're using the wrong approach for the wrong mind type. This episode teaches you to recognize the seven mind types so you can adapt your communication instantly. That skill changes your close rate.About Ridgely Goldsborough:Serial entrepreneur who's started forty-five companies. Author of twenty books. Studied alongside Jim Rohn as his voice in Latin America.

Jeremiah 38:10–11Then the king commanded Ebed-melech the Ethiopian, “Take thirty men with you from here, and lift Jeremiah the prophet out of the cistern before he dies.” So Ebed-melech took the men with him and went to the house of the king, to a wardrobe in the storehouse, and took from there old rags and worn-out clothes, which he let down to Jeremiah in the cistern by ropes.In an earlier episode called "Bricks, Rags, and Mercy" (episode 217), I shared how Ebed-melech showed mercy by using old rags and worn-out clothes to make Jeremiah's rescue much less harsh than ropes alone.Mercy softens the rough edges of life in this world—whether through rags, old clothes, casseroles, songs, a cold cup of water, or a brick on a step.You'll have to listen to discover how two bricks on the top step of a community pool, a family of fuzzy little ducklings, and a year-long question became another reminder of God's mercy. Then, one year later, eight new ducklings arrived… and the story wasn't over.If you would like to support this podcast with a monthly or one-time gift, thank you!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.sherriyoungward.com/support⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠To find out about upcoming gatherings and new projects, please join my email list at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.sherriyoungward.com
