Tabula Rasa Mystery School – Day 17: Love Beyond LabelsWhat if life as we know it is just a cleverly animated illusion? Today, we explore a metaphysical comedy movie—not just for laughs, but to uncover the deeper truth behind reincarnation, identity, and the ego's sleight of hand.David Hoffmeister and Urpi Milla take us to look at how the ego fabricates time, roles, and guilt by animating still images, just like Walt Disney did with Mickey Mouse. But unlike cartoons, this illusion convinces us that Spirit can enter matter, that we are born into bodies, and that our worth is tied to behavior.Through humor and insight, we'll unravel the ego's fragmented world of names, roles, and hierarchies. The real path to peace? Seeing the world without labels, like petals floating freely in the wind.Join us as we laugh our way out of the illusion and back into eternity.For more information about David Hoffmeister and Living Miracles events, visit https://circle.livingmiraclescenter.org/events.Recorded live on June 17, 2025, at Casa de Milagros, Chapala, Mexico.

Send us a textOn this episode of Coffee with Danny, Chico shares his 15-year journey with Amigos for Christ: from meeting a group of inspiring “gringos” as a teen, to becoming a scholarship student, a servant leader, and now a father whose own child attends the Amigos Academy.Through joy, fear, worship, and deep purpose, Chico reflects on what it means to find your calling, lead with love, and experience God's presence in everyday service. Whether it's climbing a volcano or flushing a toilet in a brand new Modern Bathroom, Chico reminds us: transformation happens when we feel loved, when we feel seen, and when we walk in our purpose.#AmigosForChristVideoPodcast #CoffeeWithDanny #PathToTransformation 

Send us a textActs 15:5-21But some believers who belonged to the party of the Pharisees rose up and said, “It is necessary to circumcise them and to order them to keep the law of Moses.”The apostles and the elders were gathered together to consider this matter. And after there had been much debate, Peter stood up and said to them, “Brothers, you know that in the early days God made a choice among you, that by my mouth the Gentiles should hear the word of the gospel and believe. And God, who knows the heart, bore witness to them, by giving them the Holy Spirit just as he did to us, and he made no distinction between us and them, having cleansed their hearts by faith. Now, therefore, why are you putting God to the test by placing a yoke on the neck of the disciples that neither our fathers nor we have been able to bear? But we believe that we will be saved through the grace of the Lord Jesus, just as they will.”And all the assembly fell silent, and they listened to Barnabas and Paul as they related what signs and wonders God had done through them among the Gentiles. After they finished speaking, James replied, “Brothers, listen to me. Simeon has related how God first visited the Gentiles, to take from them a people for his name. And with this the words of the prophets agree, just as it is written,“‘After this I will return,and I will rebuild the tent of David that has fallen;I will rebuild its ruins,and I will restore it,that the remnant of mankind may seek the Lord,and all the Gentiles who are called by my name,says the Lord, who makes these things known from of old.'Therefore my judgment is that we should not trouble those of the Gentiles who turn to God, but should write to them to abstain from the things polluted by idols, and from sexual immorality, and from what has been strangled, and from blood. For from ancient generations Moses has had in every city those who proclaim him, for he is read every Sabbath in the synagogues.”Support the show

Psalm 78:32-38, 1 Kings 21:17-20, Acts 18:9-26, 19:11-13. The apostle Paul writes, ‘Our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but… against the spiritual forces of evil' (Ephesians 6:12) God's power in you is so much greater than the power of evil

In this meeting, the group reflected on God's gentle leadership, the role of prayer, and the value of trusting His timing. They explored protection in fellowship, spiritual encouragement during warfare, and how God prepares each person personally—whether gathered or scattered. The conversation highlighted Christ-centered unity, personal investment in the assembly, and the beauty of being kept by God's power. Practical needs like health issues and family prayers brought us to a close with heartfelt intercession.Themes:Stirring prayer and reflection on prophecyTrusting God's slow and steady workRefuge and protection in the local assemblyOvercoming technical and spiritual challengesGod's power to keep us—even in solitudeChrist-centered unity and the cost of spiritual growthFamily intercession and mutual support in trialsScripture References: Isaiah 40:11; Isaiah 59:19; Song of Solomon 8:7; 1 John 3:18–20; 1 Peter 1:5

This message centered around the love and protection found in Christ, especially in the context of family and marriage. We reflected on God's gentle order and how it brings rest, clarity, and purpose. We emphasized the importance of being yoked to Christ, especially for men leading their families, and how submission, even when not fully understood, is an act of trust in God's design. Personal testimonies, gratitude, and prayer closed the session, affirming the power of God's love to constrain, possess, and guide.Themes:Opening prayer and group singingChrist's yoke in marriage and family rolesBeing possessed and constrained by God's loveGentle leadership modeled after ChristSubmission and peace within God's designTestimonies of gratitude and prayer for growthScripture References: 2 Corinthians 5:14; Ephesians 5; Matthew 11:28–30

Tabula Rasa Mystery School - Day 12: The EntryIn this Movie Session, David explores the life of Jesus, particularly during the final days of his ministry, as depicted in the series “The Chosen.” It emphasizes Jesus' singular focus on spiritual matters, rather than earthly concerns.David's commentary delves into Jesus´ teachings on forgiveness and the Kingdom of Heaven, which he describes as both present and accessible. The discussion draws insights from the Last Supper and Jesus' entry into Jerusalem, highlighting the tension between his spiritual message and the people's expectations, who sought a political savior.It also explores the themes of sacrifice, the misunderstandings surrounding Jesus' identity, and the universal call to remember our true nature beyond ego-driven fears. The session concludes by reflecting on the relevance of Jesus' teachings today, as they call for a shift in perception towards love and forgiveness.For more information about David Hoffmeister and Living Miracles events, visit https://circle.livingmiraclescenter.org/events.Recorded live on June 16, 2025, at Casa de Milagros, Chapala, Mexico.

Where do we worship God? Everywhere! To present our bodies as a living sacrifice is our "reasonable" act of worship, Paul writes. That Greek word denotes something "pertaining to the mind and soul." More than just physical service: we're offering every part of ourselves - spirit, soul and body. And that happens everywhere! One more word that we need to know for today's study, is "publican." That's a tax collector; a man of low status in the first century.

Send me a Text Message!My goal through this podcast and my prayer for all of us is that we would be drawn to the Words of God, that we would develop a hunger to hang out with Jesus and listen to the whisper of His spirit through our hearts and out our ears.  My goal is that we would go to this book (the Bible) again and again in search of gold.  That our incentive would be the precious treasure of God-birthed healing in our hearts, inspiring our minds, and renewing our spirits. But my concern is that sometimes we treat the Words of God like a common worthless penny. We'll take it if somebody gives it to us, but don't expect me to dig for it. But what if one of God's greatest gifts are the Words He speaks?

Takeaways: The podcast discusses the topic of eternal security, emphasizing that true salvation cannot be lost, as it is secured by God's grace and not by human effort. A key point made is that the evidence of genuine faith is not merely a profession of belief, but a transformed life that evidences obedience to God's commands. The hosts argue that many who claim to be Christians but later abandon their faith were never truly saved, citing 1 John 2:19 to support this claim. Scriptural references, such as Romans 8 and John 10, highlight that nothing, including personal actions, can separate a believer from the love of God once they are truly saved. The distinction between true believers and those who are merely professing faith is crucial, as it underscores the importance of genuine transformation in one's life. The discussion addresses common misconceptions about salvation, clarifying that while believers may struggle with sin, their salvation remains secure in Christ.

Justified by FaithPaul reminds the Christian Jews that religion cannot save them and that mankind must be justified by grace through faith in Christ. When we believe God, He sees us as righteous.

We've dedicated this week to the sober topic of David's illicit affair with Bathsheba. While God's forgiveness doesn't minimize the serious consequences of David's sin, it demonstrates how God's grace is greater than our failures.Moral intersections provide two opportunities. By falling into Jesus' arms and experiencing His rest, we can find strength to make good decisions and live well in His name.

In this episode, we examine the distinction between modern Israel as a nation-state and biblical Israel as defined in Scripture. Dr. Richard Caldwell explains that while ethnic Israel remains significant in God's redemptive plan, salvation comes only through faith in Jesus Christ. The conversation explores Romans 11, eschatological promises, and the role of Israel in current events—offering theological clarity for believers seeking to understand God's faithfulness to His covenant people.

God has a plan. When we look at the that of the natural world without a Biblical outlook, it can seem bleak. But when we look at the world through the lens of Scripture and remember that God has a plan, it puts the narrative around us into perspective.Share your stories, prayer requests, or your response to this devotional in the comments below.If you would like to know more about who we are, what we believe, or when we meet, visit http://newlife.church.

Send us a textActs 15:1-4But some men came down from Judea and were teaching the brothers, “Unless you are circumcised according to the custom of Moses, you cannot be saved.” And after Paul and Barnabas had no small dissension and debate with them, Paul and Barnabas and some of the others were appointed to go up to Jerusalem to the apostles and the elders about this question. So, being sent on their way by the church, they passed through both Phoenicia and Samaria, describing in detail the conversion of the Gentiles, and brought great joy to all the brothers. When they came to Jerusalem, they were welcomed by the church and the apostles and the elders, and they declared all that God had done with them. Support the show

Through raw and unfiltered discussions with experts, celebrities, thought leaders, and athletes, we uncover new perspectives on personal growth, recovery, and overcoming life's toughest challenges.My Story:What sets my journey apart is that there wasn't just one rock bottom—there were many. From being a successful luxury homebuilder to falling into addiction, homelessness, crime, and eventually 27 mugshots and prison, my life was in absolute chaos.Addiction was my temporary escape from childhood trauma, but it only led to destruction.It wasn't until I hit the lowest point imaginable that I finally found true freedom, redemption, and purpose. After an unexpected early release from prison in 2017, I walked 300 miles back to Dallas to turn myself in—only to be miraculously pardoned and told to “pay it forward.”And that's exactly what I've been doing ever since.My MissionI believe that rock bottom is not the end—it's a stepping stone to something greater.My goal is to redefine what "rock bottom" means by helping others rebuild their Spirit, Mind, and Body. On M2 The Rock, I speak openly about trauma, addiction, recovery, and the power of transformation. I don't shy away from topics like:✅ Trauma & Addiction – Understanding the root causes✅ Self-Sabotage & Mental Health – Breaking negative cycles✅ Codependency & Enabling – How relationships impact recovery✅ 12-Step Programs & Spiritual Healing – Finding true freedom✅ Religious Trauma & Personal Growth – Healing from past wounds"Everyone Is An Addict."Whether it's substances, work, validation, or negative thinking, we all have something we struggle with.But recovery is possible, and transformation is real.

As a Jesus Follower, Go to God in Your Fear and Anxiety Because Jesus Says: “do not be anxious about tomorrow” MESSAGE SUMMARY: Your problems are not too big for God; God is faithful. Your financial issues, your debt, your health issues, and your sins are not too big for God. God is faithful, and He is trustworthy. Why not take, to God, all those things in your life that are creating anxiety? In Psalms 9:9-10, the Psalmist encourages you to put your trust in God: “The LORD is a stronghold for the oppressed, a stronghold in times of trouble. And those who know your name put their trust in you, for you, O LORD, have not forsaken those who seek you.". Also, Jesus tells us, in Mathew. 6:33-34, that you can put our trust in Him and not be anxious about your problems: “But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you. Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.”. Our God is a faithful God – reach out to God when fear and anxiety are taking a firm hold on your life.     TODAY'S PRAYER: Lord, fill me with the simple trust that even out of the most awful evil around me, you are able to bring great good — for me, for others, and for your great glory.

In our continued study of some of the names of God from the Old Testament, today we will consider God as Jehovah-Sabaoth—The Lord of Hosts.

Paul reminds the church that faith in Christ includes humble and God-honoring submission to those who are governing authorities. This is not to say that we should do everything we are told to do especially where it concerns honoring the Lord above all else; Paul's life was often marked by gracious-yet-firm civil disobedience when he was asked not to preach the gospel. We should, however, respect those in authority, submitting where appropriate, and show honor as much as possible. Paul goes on to say that “Love does no wrong to a neighbor. Love, therefore, is the fulfillment of the law.” Our aim should be to live a life humility and service, especially in light Christ's return. Since the night is nearly over and the day is near, let us then put on the armor of light.  :::Christian Standard Bible translation.All music written and produced by John Burgess Ross.Co-produced by the Christian Standard Biblefacebook.com/commuterbibleinstagram.com/commuter_bibletwitter.com/CommuterPodpatreon.com/commuterbibleadmin@commuterbible.org

What does it really mean for Christian to love their enemies in a world full of division and conflict?

In our last episode, Solomon's brother Adonijah tried to take the throne while David was on his death bed. His plan failed, and Solomon successfully ascended to the throne. During the attempted coup, Adonijah recruited Abiathar the priest and Joab, David's former commander. Since then, Adonijah has been executed, Abiathar has been banished, and today. Joab will be executed. Later, the Lord appears to King Solomon in a dream, and instead of asking for wealth or long life, he asks the Lord for wisdom to lead God's people. This pleases the Lord, who promises blessing upon Solomon's reign, including both wisdom and wealth.1 Kings 2:28 - 1:08 . 1 Kings 3 - 5:16 . 1 Kings 4 - 11:37 . 2 Chronicles 1 - 16:55 .  :::Christian Standard Bible translation.All music written and produced by John Burgess Ross.Co-produced by the Christian Standard Bible.facebook.com/commuterbibleinstagram.com/commuter_bibletwitter.com/CommuterPodpatreon.com/commuterbibleadmin@commuterbible.org

Send us a textI struggled my entire life with faith, especially when uncertain times arise.  This has always troubled me deeply because I believe in God without a shadow of doubt.  However, I sometimes get nervous about something and no matter how much I pray I remain anxious.  I then feel I need to apologize and ask God to forgive my weak faith.  Well a few weeks ago I received the answer to my lifelong prayer and complete clarity to understand faith.  I am excited to share this understanding, because I know I am not the only one.  Faith is the opposite of worry, but it is okay to be anxious in hope.  

Pastor Wayne Van Gelderen shares biblical truth that will bring hope and comfort in these uncertain days.

Parents need all the help they can get to raise resilient, God-honoring, community-contributing kids. In 2010, Eleanor Rodriguez, an elementary school principal in Santa Ana, California, reached out to community leaders for help. Rising poverty, gang violence, drugs, and other high-risk behaviors were impacting the education and well-being of the city's children. The city's youth were being lost. Parents and leaders were desperate for long-term solutions.Ultimately, out of her desire to change the trajectory of her own little slice of earth, Rezilient Kidz was formed.Today on the show, I get to converse with David Frush who helps communities throughout the West Coast establish Rezilient Kidz programs to give parents the tools needed to help their children stand up and take responsibility for themselves and those around them. He hopes Alaska will be the next state.Support the show

When culture demands compromise and voices claim to speak for God, how do we know who to trust? In this episode, Dr. John explores Deuteronomy 12:29-13:5, warning against the church's temptation to adopt cultural trends over biblical truth. He explains how to identify false prophets by testing their teachings against Scripture, concluding that Scripture alone speaks for God.Living the Moral Life: A Practical Application for Every Generation: Morality cannot be reduced to a bumper sticker. Neither is it the sum total of our debates, campaigns or banners. Morality is presented by how we live. The book of Deuteronomy is a second presentation of God's Law. It contains three sermons by Moses, as Israel stands on the border of the Promised Land. In this series, Dr. John highlights chapters 12- 17 in which Moses emphasizes living out God's commands for a moral life. Why should we listen? Because living a moral life speaks louder than any bumper sticker.

It was a pivotal moment in a young man's life that would be celebrated by family and friends. It was the recognition that things had changed and he had a been given a whole new standing in the community. For a young boy, growing up in Rome, it was a big event when he was given a very special robe. Well, now you get an idea of picture Paul is painting for us here in Galatians. Paul wants you to realize what God has done for you and the special robe you know wear through faith. It's nothing short of amazing. It brings remarkable assurance and joy.
