Welcome to The DMF — Discovering Meaning in Film and Acting. I'm Justin Younts, and in Part 2 of my conversation with Emmy-winning filmmaker and producer Leif Bristow, we dive into the ethical challenges of working in Hollywood and the values that guide his filmmaking career.Leif shares why he made an early decision to avoid projects that glorify violence or rely on exploitative themes. Instead, he focuses on the power of suggestion over graphic content, creating films that uplift audiences and emphasize resilience, strength, and meaningful storytelling.In this episode, we explore:The dark side of Hollywood filmmakingEthical film production decisionsFamily-friendly content in a competitive marketCreating strong female leads and role modelsProducing films with purpose and integrityEmpowering women through storytellingAs a producer of over 40 films, Leif discusses how his personal life — including being a father to daughters — has influenced his commitment to portraying women as strong, capable, and multidimensional characters.We also examine the broader question facing filmmakers today: Can you build a successful career without compromising your values?Whether you're an actor, filmmaker, producer, or creative professional, this episode offers insight into maintaining integrity in an industry often driven by trends and commercial pressure.Join us as we explore how storytelling can inspire, empower, and create lasting impact.00:00:00 - Introduction00:00:05 - Transition to Directing00:00:18 - Personal Directing Philosophy00:01:51 - Preference for Family Friendly Content00:02:45 - Success of Family Friendly Movies00:04:15 - Making Movies for Hallmark00:05:06 - About the Aggies Book00:08:33 - Cultural Differences and Similarities00:10:35 - Relating to Other Cultures00:11:54 - Repeating Atrocities00:12:12 - Origin of Dancing Through the Shadow00:12:27 - Writing Process00:14:52 - Challenges of Making the Movie00:15:24 - Filming Challenges Due to COVID-1900:16:49 - Adapting the Book into a Movie00:21:48 - Choosing the Filming Locations00:23:39 - Directing Actors00:23:39 - Working with Family00:26:30 - Relationship with Jonathan Rhys-Davies00:28:00 - Working with Hallmark00:31:25 - Future Projects00:32:22 - Closing Remarks00:33:18 - Inside the Actor's Studio Questions00:35:21 - Contact Information and Closing

When we're travelling through a dark and scary patch in our lives, there's a strong temptation to do the wrong thing, to save our skin. But there is another way….   What We do in the Dark Well, it's great to be with you again this week. I'm not sure if you were able to join us last week but we began a new series called "Dark Night, Bright Light". Darkness, well, we all travel through darkness in our lives. There are times when, I don't know, the storm clouds just come rolling over the top and maybe we've been sick or maybe we have lost someone we love or maybe we have been hurt and it's not to say that we are a bunch of losers. I don't mean that, it's just the reality of life. Jacqui, my wife, was talking to a long time friend of hers and their children are growing up and there are lots of challenges and problems and she is just exhausted. Or a dear friend of mine whose son committed suicide and he and his wife are still reeling from that. Or a friend who has been retrenched and he's in his fifties and it's hard to find a job. Stuff like that happens – dark times; difficult times, well, in those darknesses, we just can't see where we are or where we are headed. I have had them, you've had them and that's life. Jesus said this amazing thing – He said: "I am the light of the world," and one of the things we saw last week is that He is in the "light" business and that's good news for anyone going through a dark patch. The very first thing that God created in Genesis chapter 1 was "light" – a trillion, trillion stars, at least – God is definitely in the "light" business. Halleluiah! Don't you think? And we spent some time last week with King David in a Psalm; Psalm 34. If you have got your Bible, grab it, open it up – we are going there again today. Psalm 34 is kind of a retrospective; a hindsight look at the dark times that David has been through where he was afraid and God showed up. Let me just read the first part of it again. Psalm 34, beginning at verse 1. David says: I will bless the Lord at all times; His praise will always be on my lips. My soul will boast in the Lord; let the afflicted hear and rejoice. Glorify the Lord with me; let us exalt His name together. I sought the Lord and He answered me; He delivered me from all my fears. Those who look at Him are radiant; their faces are never covered with shame. This poor man called and the Lord heard him; He saved him from all his troubles. The angel of the Lord encamps around those who fear Him and He delivers them. Taste and see that the Lord is good; blessed is the man who takes refuge in Him. You see, what David is saying here is that God is a God who shows up in the dark times and delivers us. And David is not saying that off the top of his head or out of a text book; he is saying it from having experienced God in all the dark times that he travelled through in his life. He spent such a long time on the run from Saul who was trying to kill him. He lived in dark places and lonely places, in fear for his life. He fought so many battles where he was hard pressed and he should have been killed but God was there for him – God showed up. And one of the things that we touched on last week was fear – the bad fear that we have and the good fear. The bad fear is the fear that David talks about in verse 4 of this Psalm. He says: I sought the Lord and He answered me; He delivered me from all my 'fears'. And we do get afraid and it immobilises us but the good fear he talks about in verse 7: The angel of the Lord encamps around those who 'fear' Him and He delivers them. The fear of the Lord – we are going to have a look at that some more today because it's what the next part of Psalm 34 is all about. I want you to come with me now as we read just the next five verses of this Psalm. Psalm 34, verses 9 to 14 which is where we are going to spend our time together today. This is what David writes – he says: Fear the Lord you His holy ones for those who fear Him will have no want. The lions may grow weak and hungry but those who seek the Lord will lack no good thing. Come my children, listen to me, I will teach you the fear of the Lord. Whoever of you loves life and desires to see many good days, keep your tongue from evil and your lips from speaking lies. Turn from evil and do good, seek peace and pursue it. This is a really important part of the Psalm. The first part told us all about God and what He is like and that's fantastic but this second part; it's about the part that we have to play in those dark times. I want to tell you something about darkness. People will do things in the dark that they won't do in the light. Let me say that again because it's really important: people will do things in the dark that they won't do in the light. Think about it – we are much more careful about where we walk and what we do out there in the dark; in the night time than we are by day. Robberies, muggings, murders are all more likely to happen under the cover of darkness than they are in day light where the criminal might be seen and get caught. The same thing is true in our lives – dark times – well, those are the times where we are far more likely to do things that we know are wrong. Let me just give you a few practical everyday examples. Things are tough; we are feeling down – you know what a lot of people do? They over eat – comfort food, they call it. They put on weight; they feel a whole bunch worse about themselves than when they started. Or a husband and wife – they are going through a tough time in their marriage and their minds and eyes start to wander; they start looking around; that's how adultery begins – instead of holding each other close and working through the issues. Or perhaps there is conflict at work – someone is just not treating us well and we are feeling under pressure. It's really getting to us; the boss is being just horrible and we take that as an excuse to justify being lazy or stealing something or gossiping behind their backs or not servicing a customer properly so that the firm will lose some money. Or perhaps money is really tight; there is real financial pressure in our lives and we are tempted to lie and cheat on our tax returns, or when the shop attendant makes a mistake and gives us too much change we just slip it in our pockets. Do you see how easy this stuff is? In the dark times; in those hidden places the temptation to do wrong is far greater than when the times are good." "No one is going to notice! After all, times are tough – I have to look after number one – me; I have to justify myself or protect myself or provide for myself." That's how we rationalise this stuff. And notice the central theme through all of that – me, myself and I. In those dark times we often experience fear – the times when we are afraid and in those dark times we often experience the temptation to sin; to turn away from what we know is right because no one will notice. And we just have to; we have to sin to save our skin. And the devil loves it this way; he's so delighted to see this. The Apostle John puts it this way in First John chapter 1, verse 5 – he says: This is the message we have heard from Him and declare it to you: God is light. In Him there is no darkness at all. If we claim to walk with Him and yet we walk in the darkness, we are lying and we don't live up to the truth. But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another and the blood of Jesus, His Son, purifies us from all sin. So today, we are going to take a look at the wisdom that comes from David's experience in those dark times – the wisdom about how we behave. What he learned to do when temptation came in those dark times.   Let's Take a Closer Look Well, we are going to take a bit of a closer look at this part of Psalm 34 because that's how we learn what God is teaching us through David's wisdom. Let's read just a few verses again. Psalm 34 verses 9 to 11, David writes: Fear the Lord you His holy ones, for those who fear Him will have no want. Sure the lions may grow weak and hungry, but those who seek the Lord will lack no good thing. Come my children, listen to me, I will teach you the fear of the Lord. I love this because it's a place where God gives us His solutions to our problems. See, it's not good enough for Him to rap us over the knuckles with a ruler when we are doing the wrong thing. We need to know how not to repeat the mistake and that's what this piece of wisdom is all about. Let's look at verse 9 again: Fear the Lord you His holy ones, for those who fear Him will have no want. Last week we saw that the fear of the Lord has two parts. The most obvious definition of 'fear' is to be afraid but it also means to reverence and to honour. And I want to talk about those today – it's important. You know, it's really easy to imagine that somehow, God is just our buddy; like another friend, And to be sure, He is our friend but God is also an awesome God and ultimately, He will see justice done. There will be a day of judgement; there will be a day when we have to give an account before Him for all that we have done and all that we have said. Jesus made that really clear in Matthew chapter 10, verse 28 – we can read this. Jesus said: Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul, rather be afraid of the One who can destroy both soul and body in hell. We need to never lose sight of that – there are consequences to our sin; there are consequences to rebelling against God and if we just go on wantonly, stealing or lying or grumbling or hating or undermining or living in sexual sin or whatever it is, and we think to ourselves, "Well, that's ok. God's my buddy", then let me make this clear: we are completely missing the point. Yes, Jesus died for your sins and mine – absolutely. And when I get something wrong, I go to God and admit it and say, "Lord, I just got this wrong. I don't want to go there again. Please forgive me God," and He does. But that attitude is one that comes out of the fear of the Lord, I have to tell you. A casual attitude towards God; that thinks that we can just keep on sinning, is not on – He won't honour it. Why? Because if you believe Jesus, His plan is for you and me to be holy; in other words, to be clean and pure and set apart exclusively for God's use. Listen again to verse 9: Fear the Lord, you His holy ones, for those who fear Him will have no want. See, we are not our own, we are bought at a price and God has this awesome plan to use us just as He pleases and the devil knows that. That's why, when times are tough; when we are travelling through a dark place, he wants to smear us with that darkness. He is the deception – things are difficult, therefore I have to bend the rules to set it right – money is tight so I have to steal to provide for myself. The boss is giving me a hard time so I have to stab him in the back to set things right. My husband or my wife isn't everything they should be, I have to start looking around somewhere else to find someone who is everything they should be. The devil will play that rubbish over and over and over again until we swallow it hook, line and sinker and God's answer is exactly the opposite. " Fear the Lord, you His holy ones, for those who fear Him will have no want. The lions may grow weak and hungry but those who seek the Lord will lack no good thing. God's way is to provide for us – not all our wants, but all our needs. And when we fear the Lord; when we fear His judgement and honour Him and reverence Him with what we think and what we say and what we do, God will make sure that we have what we need. What a huge opposite to our natural inclination! "Yes, times are tough; yes, money is tight but I will fill out my tax return honestly. I won't claim expenses from my company that are really personal rather that company expenses. I don't care how tough things get financially, I am going to fear the Lord because I am bought for a price; I am holy; I am set apart for Him and His Word says that in those dark times, if I fear Him, I will have no want and when I seek Him with all my heart I will lack no good thing." Do you get it? David is saying here, "I learned in my dark times just to stand for God; just to do the right thing; to fear Him, to be holy because he will provide for me." And remember David is teaching us from having been on the run from King Saul who wanted to kill him for years – sleeping in dark caves; fearing for his life. This is what he learned in his dark places and that's why he is telling us this stuff. He is saying, "Listen to me for I will teach you the fear of the Lord. Come my children, listen to me." In other words "Listen to me – this works – I know it does because I have been there."   Where the Rubber Hits the Road I hope you are being blessed as I am as we work our way through the wondrous Word of God. Imagine the God who created the whole universe speaking to you and me through His Word; through something that was written about three thousand years ago. I want to finish off with just the next few verses of this Psalm because they contain a specific challenge – a challenge that God is making to you and to me today. Have a listen – Psalm 34, verses 11 to 14: Come my children, listen to me, I will teach you the fear of the Lord. Whoever of you loves life and desires to see many good days, keep your tongue from evil and your lips from speaking lies. Turn away from evil and do good; seek peace and pursue it. See, sometimes we wonder "Well, how do we live out this fear of the Lord? Do I sit in a corner and tremble?" No, not at all! David remember, this David who is speaking to us from his own difficult, dark experience – he is throwing down a challenge – he is teaching us how to live in the fear of the Lord. Quite simply; paraphrasing, he is saying "Do you want to live a good life? Do you want to live a great life?" Well, here's how to do it – by living out the fear of the Lord through what you say and what you do. Whoever of you loves life and desires to see many good days, keep your tongue from evil and your lips from speaking lies, turn away from evil and do good, seek peace and pursue it. Now, we are all different – we are all prone to different forms of the same thing that God calls "sin". For some people it's grumbling, for others it's gambling or lying or stealing or carrying around hatred in our hearts and "speaking it out behind peoples" backs, or gossiping or sexual sin. You name it, the list goes on – overeating, getting drunk, closing ourselves off from other people and family – over and over again – the list is really long. And my hunch is that we each know which one or two are the particular ones that we are prone to. And here's the challenge: if we are in a dark and fearful place; a place where there is a temptation to stop doing good and to do wrong; to turn away from God and to sin so that we can save our skin – here's the challenge: to turn away from that stuff and do good instead and put our faith in God. That's what it means in practical terms to "fear the Lord" – that's how we live out the fear of the Lord, with our lives. See, we delude ourselves if we somehow imagine that in that dark place, God can't see what's going on. Wake up! Listen to what the Apostle Paul writes to his friends in Galatia – you can read it in Galatians chapter 6, beginning at verse 7. And if you have a Bible, come here with me and share in God's Word with me. I was with a group of Christians recently and they just paid lip service to God's Word. Let's be serious about getting God's Word into us – Galatians chapter 6, verse 7: Don't be deceived – God cannot be mocked. You are going to reap what you sow. If you sow to please your sinful nature, from that nature you will reap destruction. The one who sows to please the Spirit, however, from the Spirit will reap eternal life. Don't become weary of doing good for just at the right time we will reap a harvest if we don't give up. Therefore, as we have the opportunity, let us do good to all people, especially to those who belong to the family of God. That was written about a thousand years after David and it's saying the same thing in a different way. In those dark places it is so tempting to grow weary of doing good; to sin in order to save our skin; to provide for ourselves in our own strength. Paul is saying, "Just keep going. Don't become weary of doing good because in God's time you will reap the harvest." That's the challenge! It's the challenge for each one of us in difficult circumstances in dark place to stop making excuses. They are the very places where the devil wants to tear us apart. That's the very place where we have to vigilant – to bow down our lives; to fear the Lord; just do the right thing day after day after day and His light will shine in that place. It has too – that's who He is – God honours those who honour Him. And in those dark places, when step by step, we discover His light, that is such a precious, awesome and mighty thing – it changes us like nothing else. That's why David starts his Psalm off with such gusto of praise because he knows all this stuff through his own experience. I will bless the Lord all the time. His praise will always be on my lips. My soul will boast in the Lord – let the afflicted hear and rejoice. Glorify the Lord with me; let us exalt in His name for I sought the Lord and He answered me; He delivered me from my fears. Those who look to Him are radiant; their faces are never covered with shame. This poor man called and the Lord heard him; He saved him from all his troubles. The angel of the Lord encamps around those who fear Him and He delivers them. Taste and see that the Lord is good; blessed is the man who takes refuge in Him. Fear the Lord you holy ones, for those who fear Him will have no want. The lions may well grow weak and hungry, but those who seek the Lord lack no good thing. Come my children, listen to me. I will teach you the fear of the Lord. Whoever of you loves life and desires to see many good days, keep your tongue from evil and your lips from speaking lies. Turn away from evil and do good; seek peace and pursue it. Isn't it amazing how we can rationalise and complicate and make excuses in those dark places? When you and I are walking through the dark the devil sees what is going on and God's see what's going on and in that dark place, God is so ready; so willing to shine His bright light on that dark night. Whoever of you loves life and desires to see many good days, just keep your tongue from evil; just stop your lips from speaking lies; turn away from evil and do good; seek peace and pursue it. God is in that place with you no matter how dark the night is; His bright light will shine in your heart.

Through good times and bad, God's worth should still be perfectly displayed mightily through you. -------- Thank you for listening! Your support of Joni and Friends helps make this show possible.     Joni and Friends envisions a world where every person with a disability finds hope, dignity, and their place in the body of Christ.

John 17:1-5. From the "Gospel of John - Part II" sermon series. Preached by Jody Killingsworth. Scripture at the beginning read by Stephen Baker.

It doesn't matter who you are, we all travel through dark and fearful places in life – and at those times, it can be so hard to remember that God is in the Light business.   The Darkest Nights I am always so excited to be starting a new series of messages and that's what we are doing this week on the programme – and it is a series that I have called "Dark Night, Bright Light." Dark and darkness – I wonder what those words mean to you? There are all sorts of connotations when we apply them to our lives. I remember when I was a young boy - even probably well into my teenage years – I was really afraid of the dark. I remember after dinner in the dining room, it was a long corridor – well it seemed a long corridor – especially in the dark. It was only about, I don't know, only eight or nine meters from the dining room to my bedroom. But I have to tell you, when it was dark, it was a long way for me to go. And I was afraid to walk from the light dining room into that dark corridor to my dark bedroom. Now in the house where we lived, we were blessed because there was a light switch for the lights at either end of the corridor so I could walk out of the dining room, turn on the light and the corridor was in light and then I could go to my bedroom – and I always used that switch. Now, we lived in a safe part of town and the house was secure and there was no logical or rational reason for me to be afraid of the dark – I just was – and it was a deep fear and I think a lot of kids go through that. It seems that darkness and fear, well, they often go together in life – young or old. Now the truth be known we need both – we need light and dark in this world. I love it when the sun goes down and it's time to go to sleep and again when the sun comes up in the morning and it's time to get up and get on with living life. That's a pattern we live by – it's a pattern of life. But imagine if it were only ever dark, how awful that would be. In some countries of course, far north and far south, they have many months of darkness. Now take a look at our own lives. If we look back on those dark times – those periods in life that we would rather forget – whether it was a broken relationship or sickness or the death of a loved one or some real financial difficulties or maybe you have been through a war and has seen people killed or been in prison. Perhaps you have seen everything that you have worked so hard for over so many years just go down the drain. Someone has hurt you incredibly deeply or someone you trusted – perhaps you have been through a time of depression or real loneliness or you are working so hard that you don't feel as though you have a life – that list just goes on and on and on. Life has its dark times, doesn't it? Maybe you are going through one right now or maybe, who knows, there is one just around the next corner or next year or the year after and that's why we are kicking off this series "Dark Night, Bright Light" because light is the opposite of darkness and when we are travelling through those dark times, light is the very thing that we need. The problem is it can be so hard to find; so hard to believe in or hope for and over these coming weeks, we are going to be spending some time with King David in Psalm 34. But before we go there, let's have a little foretaste about darkness and light. If you have got a Bible, I want you grab it; I want you to open it up at page 1 – Genesis chapter 1 and verse 1 – the beginning. Here's what it say: In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters. And God said "Let there be light" and there was light. And God saw that the light was good and He separated the light from the darkness. God called the light 'day' and the darkness He called that 'night'. And there was evening and there was morning – that was the first day." I might hear you say, "Well, Berni, I know that passage and that's all well and good. You're talking about physical light here, that's fine but what about God shining His light into the darkness in my life?" We are going to talk about that shortly but the point that I'm making is this: creation tells us something about the Creator. You and I create different things because we are different. God, the very first thing He creates – the very first thing – is light. That tells us something about God but what a light! We tend to just think of the sun there; one of just an estimated trillion, trillion stars. God is seriously into light and that tells us something about who He is. Let's take a look at just another couple of verses in the Bible. There are so many of them that talk about God and light – Ezekiel chapter 10, verse 4: Then the glory of the Lord rose from above the cherubim and moved to the threshold of the temple. The cloud filled the temple and the court was full of the radiance and the glory of God. Words from Isaiah chapter 60, verse 19: The sun will no more be your light by day nor will the brightness of the moon shine on you for the Lord will be your everlasting light and your God will be your glory. And perhaps my favourite of all, where Paul seems to bring it all together in Second Corinthians chapter 4 and verse 6: For it is the very same God who said "Let light shine out of the darkness, that made His light to shine in our hearts to give us the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ." The Bible is full of references about God being our light and our radiance. Can you see why I have called this series "Dark Night, Bright Light"? Over these coming weeks I believed we are going to be transformed by God's Word about darkness and light. If you have just been through a "darkness" or you are going through one right now or you are going to go through one in the future, the Word of God is going to shine a light into that dark place – "Dark Night, Bright Light."   The Wisdom of Hindsight As I said earlier in the programme we are going to spend some time in Psalm 34, this week and over the next three weeks. It's an interesting Psalm because it comes out of King David's life. It's a Psalm of praise for deliverance from trouble. So it is a Psalm written, if you like, with the benefit of hindsight. David has learned something – something about God in a dark time. Now we are not sure what that time was. The introduction to the Psalm says, "A Psalm of David when he feigned madness before Abimelech so that he drove him out and he went away." Now we don't have any other information about that. Abimelech was a judge; he was a leader of Israel; he was Gideon's son. Anyhow the fact of the matter is, even though we don't know the precise historical details it doesn't matter. David had to engage in some deception, it tells us; if was a fearful and scary time and he needed to escape. Now let's have a look at the first part of this Psalm. If you have got a Bible, open it at Psalm 34 – we are going to look at just the first eight verses today. This is what it says: I will bless the Lord at all times; His praise will always be on my lips. My soul will boast in the Lord, let the afflicted hear and rejoice. Glorify the Lord with me; let us exalt His name together. I sought the Lord and He answered me – He delivered me from all my fears. Those who look at Him are radiant; their faces are never covered with shame. This poor man called and the Lord heard him; He saved him out of all his troubles. The angel of the Lord encamps around those who fear Him and He delivers them. Taste and see that the Lord is good. Blessed is the man who takes refuge in Him It's a beautiful Psalm! You see, it's David looking back on a difficult time. And he starts out be praising God – "I will bless the Lord at all times; His praise will always be on my lips," because of God's faithfulness. And there's a purpose in him praising; a specific purpose. Look at verse 2. My soul will boast in the Lord, let the afflicted hear and rejoice. See, the purpose of this Psalm is to let the rest of us know when we are afflicted that God is faithful in those darks times so that we can hear that and rejoice. See, this Psalm was written for you and for me. Isn't God good? And David says, "You know why I am writing this Psalm? It's for you, you who are afflicted; you who are travelling through a dark and fearful time." You know why? Come and look at verse 3 again with me. David says: Glorify the Lord with me; let us exalt His name together. In other words so that you and I can rejoice together even though we might be travelling through dark times. We are getting the benefit of what David discovered in his dark and fearful time. And what he discovered, well, it is as profound as it is simple. Look at verse 4; this is what he says; this is the heart of this first passage for me. David says: I sought the Lord and He answered me; He delivered me from all my fears. You know what happens in the darkness? In the darkness we become afraid and that fear immobilises us – fear stops us dead in our tracks. We just kind of sit there and we ache and fear eats away at our hearts like a quick spreading cancer and in that fear - remember, David was as he had been many times before, in fear of his life; real fear – David had more than his share of dark times – he had real fear. Let me say it this way – he was in deadly fear and in the midst of his deadly fear he did the thing that he had learned to do over all of those times in his life when he had been in danger – when he was on the run from King Saul who was trying to kill him for all those years – he did the one thing he knew to do – Psalm 34, verse 4: I sought the Lord and He answered me. David sought God – he'd cry out to God for help. The one thing that we can forget to do when we are frozen by fear is just to cry out to God – just to pour our hearts out to Him. And what a surprise, "God answered him and delivered him from all his fears." I don't know about you but I can relate to that. In life and in ministry I come against giants of opposition all the time and I can tell you, some days they scare me – seriously. And we have a choice – we can just kind of sit there and tremble in fear and be completely immobilised or we can spend some time with God, crying out to Him in prayer and reading His Word and listening to Him – and He always delivers me from all my fears. David goes on to say this – verses 5 and 6 of Psalm 34: Those who look to Him are radiant; their faces are never covered in shame. This poor man called and the Lord heard him and He saved him out of all his troubles. There it is – the light word "radiance". The Hebrew word that sits behind our English translation means literally 'to beam or to burn with light'. It's an "over the top" kind of word – it's not a glow or a flicker or just a shine, but to beam and to burn with light and that's exactly what happens when we look to God; when we put our trust in Him in the middle of our darkness. See, in those dark times we are downcast; ashamed if you like, but David states this simple truth "This poor man called and the Lord heard him and saved out of all his troubles; He delivered him from all his fears." This is such a humble and beautiful picture, isn't it? David, probably the greatest King that Israel ever had, saw himself just as a poor man who cried out to God in his darkness. Don't you love it how the Bible is packed full of this real life stuff – this stuff that's right down where we are? The Word of God meant for us here and now; right where the rubber hits the road - the light and the radiance of God in our darkness and fear - and all this out of a simple step that David took; so simple and yet when we are afraid, so difficult. "I sought the Lord and He answered me; He delivered me from all my fears."   Taste and See God is very much in the "light" business, isn't He – taking our fear and replacing it with His radiance? Perhaps that's why David writes in Psalm 18, verse 28: It is You O Lord who lights my lamp; the Lord my God lights up my darkness. And again in Psalm 139, verses 11 and 12: If I say surely the darkness will hide me and the light will become night around me, even the darkness will not be dark to You. The night will shine like the day for darkness is as light to You. You get the impression that David is a seasoned traveller through darkness and he has learned some stuff that God would have us learn, each in our own way. Now let's head back to Psalm 34, verses 7 and 8, just to finish off our look at what David learned. Let's have a read: The angel of the Lord encamps around those who fear Him and delivers them. Taste and see that the Lord is good; blessed is the man who takes refuge in Him. Now there are two things here we need to get into; the first is the bit about the angel of the Lord. Let's have a look at verse 7 again: The angel of the Lord encamps around those who fear Him and He delivers them. Angels have a kind of funny symbology these days in our society – fluffy little creatures with wings – but you do just a short study of the angels that God describes in the Bible and you discover they are a fearsome lot. Often God uses them as a messenger and the first thing the angel says is, "Don't be afraid". They deliver a specific message to God's people to protect them from trouble and often they appear as fearsome beings to protect God's people. Look at Second Chronicles chapter 32, verse 20: King Hezekiah and the prophet Isaiah, son of Amos cried out in prayer to heaven about this and the Lord sent an angel who annihilated all the fighting men and the leaders and the officers of the camp of the Assyrian King. So he withdrew to his own land in disgrace and when he went to the temple of his god, some of his sons cut him down with his own sword. Get it? The angel is serious protection. Presidents or Prime Ministers or Kings or Queens all have their security contingents right around them when they travel. Well those security contingents have got nothing on an angel of the Lord. And you might say to me, "Berni, do you seriously believe in angels?" Absolutely! We can't see them but when we fear God; when we reverence Him – we will talk more about that idea next week – when we belong to Him, He sends His angel to encamp around us; to surround us; literally, to lay siege around us to protect us. How does David know that? Because he has been there; he has experienced it over and over again and that's exactly what he says in the next verse. Taste and see that the Lord is good; blessed is the man who takes refuge in Him. Now, this verse is so often quoted out of context "Taste and see" – suck it and see! When you are in the darkness; when you are afraid, David is saying, "Try this thing that I am talking about 'Taste and see that the Lord is good', you will be blessed when you take refuge in Him." It's like an invitation to you and me today from God. Come on, try it – I can hear the Spirit of God saying through His Word – "Come on, try it because when you take refuge in Me". God is saying, "you will truly be blessed". I don't know about you but God has seriously spoken to me today and encouraged me through His Word; He is in the light business and it's something that David discovered through long, hard experiences in darkness and fear. And he comes out the other side of that singing God's praises specifically for you and for me to hear. I will bless the Lord at all times; His praise will always be on my lips. My soul will boast in the Lord; let the afflicted hear and rejoice. Glorify the Lord with me; let us exalt His name. I sought the Lord and He answered me; He delivered me from all my fears. Those who look to Him are radiant; their faces are never covered with shame. This poor man called out and the Lord heard him and He saved him from all his troubles. The angel of the Lord encamps around those who fear Him and He delivers them. Taste and see that the Lord is good for blessed is the man who takes refuge in Him. Isn't that an awesome Psalm? People sometimes say to me, "Berni, why do you talk about this stuff? You know, is this Christianity thing for losers?" You don't have to be a loser to go through dark times – we all go through dark times – we all travel through difficult times. You know, a friend or a relative that is close to us dies young of cancer and we are left reeling and we think "God why has that happened?" We get retrenched; we lose someone else we love; we … – all sorts of things happen to us and at those times it feels like God has deserted us. Listen to David again: I sought the Lord and He answered me; He delivered me from all my fears. In that darkness there is no light so bright as the light of God and His heart is to take a face that has been covered with tears and put His radiance on that face. God is a wonderful God. I want to encourage you to join me over the next three weeks as we further explore the Word of God and what God has to say about His light amidst our darkness. That's what this series "Dark Night, Bright Light" is all about.

Welcome to Day 2771 of Wisdom-Trek, and thank you for joining me. This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to Wisdom – Theology Thursday –The Prayers of Christ and the Destiny of the Faithful.   Wisdom-Trek Podcast Script - Day 2771 Welcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps!   I am Guthrie Chamberlain, and we are on Day 2771 of our Trek.   The Purpose of Wisdom-Trek is to create a legacy of wisdom, to seek out discernment and insights, and to boldly grow where few have chosen to grow before. Our current series of Theology Thursday lessons is written by theologian and teacher John Daniels. I have found that his lessons are short, easy to understand, doctrinally sound, and applicable to all who desire to learn more of God's Word. John's lessons can be found on his website   theologyinfive.com.   Today's lesson is titled The Prayers of Christ and the Destiny of the Faithful.   When Jesus prays to the Father in the Gospels, He does so as the Incarnate Son, fully God and fully man. His prayers are not signs of weakness or inequality, but expressions of true humanity. They reflect His relationship with the Father within the limitations of flesh and blood, taken on voluntarily to accomplish the redemption of mankind. Yet Christ's prayers do more than model dependence. They reveal His mission, not merely to forgive sin, but to lead those united to Him into eternal fellowship with Yahweh, where they will be glorified through their relationship with Him. In His High Priestly Prayer in John seventeen, Jesus says: “I have given them the glory that you gave me, that they may be one as we are one” (John seventeen verse twenty-two). This is not poetic exaggeration. It is a clear expression of Christ's intent to raise His followers into the glory that He shares with the Father, restoring and transforming them in the process. The first segment is: Jesus's Prayers as Revelation of His Mission. In John seventeen verses one and two, Jesus prays: “Father, the hour has come. Glorify your Son, that your Son may glorify you. For you granted him authority over all people that he might give eternal life to all those you have given him.” Christ's authority includes granting eternal life, an existence defined not merely by duration, but by nature: incorruptibility, righteousness, and unending communion with God. Later in the same prayer, He says: “Father, I want those you have given me to be with me where I am, and to see my glory…” (John seventeen verse twenty-four) Though Christ is fully divine, He chose to humble Himself. As Paul writes in Philippians two verses six through eight, though existing in the form of God, He did not cling to His divine status but emptied Himself, taking the form of a servant. Hebrews two says He was made for a little while lower than the angels, not because He lost divinity, but because He embraced full humanity. His prayers reflect this self-imposed humility and His desire to elevate those He redeems. The second segment is: The Resurrection Body and the Nature of Glorified Transformation. Scripture consistently affirms the transformation of the faithful, not merely morally, but ontologically. Psalm eight states that man was made “a little lower than the heavenly beings,” but destined to be crowned with glory and honor. Hebrews two applies this to Christ and, by extension, to all who belong to Him. First Corinthians fifteen declares that believers will be raised with glorified, incorruptible bodies. Paul...

In this special New Year's Eve edition of The PDB Afternoon Bulletin Mike Baker looks back at the stories from 2025 that didn't quite make it into the President's Daily Brief — not because they weren't real, but because they didn't fit the daily intelligence picture. From a drunken raccoon with a rap sheet in Virginia, to a Christmas brawl on Nantucket that left police reports looking more like classified documents, to Florida man staying firmly on brand, and a “masked intruder” in New York who turned out to be something else entirely — these are the strange, true stories that crossed our radar this year.

We wish you a Merry Christmas—and a reminder of the proverbial reason for the season. Our prayer is that, amid the noise surrounding modern-day Christmas celebrations, we may as yet hear the faint echo of Isaiah's earth-shattering pronouncement: "The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and will call him Emmanuel." And, "he will save his people from their sins."Merry Christmas from Hank Hanegraaff and the rest of the Christian Research Institute family. Behold a strange, most glorious mystery:Heaven—The Cave;The Cherubic Throne—The Virgin;The Manger—The Place Where Christ Lay;The Uncontainable God, Whom we Magnify! 

Pastor John Elmore reminded the church to grasp the gravity of Christmas, that Jesus, fully God and fully man, humbled Himself to come for us. He called listeners to receive Christ as the servant who willingly came to die and save sinners. Finally, he challenged believers to live transformed lives that glorify Jesus in everything we do and offering back to Him all that He has first given us. Do you grasp the gravity of Christ?Have you received the gift of Christ?How will your life glorify Christ? Life Group Discussion:What practices or rhythms help you slow down and truly reflect on the significance of the incarnation?Is there anything that makes it hard for you to ask Jesus for help or surrender control to Him?This week, what is one practical way you can “play your best for Him” in your everyday life?
