Welcome to Day 2760 of Wisdom-Trek. Thank you for joining me. This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to Wisdom. Day 2760 – Wisdom Nuggets – Psalm 103:7-18 – Daily Wisdom Wisdom-Trek Podcast Script - Day 2760 Welcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps! I am Guthrie Chamberlain, and we are on Day 2760 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. The Title for today's Wisdom-Trek is: The Geometry of Grace – As High as the Heavens, As Far as the East. Today, we continue our ascent up the magnificent peak of Psalm One Hundred Three. We are exploring the heart of the psalm, verses seven through eighteen, in the New Living Translation. In our previous trek, we heard King David preaching a sermon to his own soul. He commanded himself to "Bless the Lord" and not to forget His benefits. We listed those benefits: He forgives all sins, heals all diseases, redeems us from the Pit, and crowns us with love and tender mercies. It was a celebration of what God does. But today, David goes deeper. He moves from God's acts to God's nature. He asks the question: Why does God do these things? What is it about His character that makes Him forgive a sinner like me? In this section, David gives us the definitive theology of the heart of God. He takes us back to the mountain of Sinai to hear God's own description of Himself. He uses the vastness of the cosmos to measure God's love. And then, he looks at us—frail, dusty, fleeting humanity—and explains why God's response to our weakness is not judgment, but fatherly compassion. So, let us stand in awe as we measure the dimensions of grace. The First Segment is: The Magna Carta of Mercy: God's Self-Revelation. Psalm One Hundred Three: verses seven through eight. He revealed his character to Moses and his deeds to the people of Israel.  The Lord is compassionate and merciful, slow to get angry and filled with unfailing love. David begins by grounding his praise in history. He isn't guessing what God is like; he is remembering what God said. "He revealed his character to Moses and his deeds to the people of Israel." Specifically, David is quoting Exodus Thirty-four, verse six. This moment occurred right after the Golden Calf incident—Israel's great act of spiritual adultery. Moses asked to see God's glory, and God passed by and proclaimed His name. This declaration in verse eight—"The Lord is compassionate and merciful, slow to get angry and filled with unfailing love"—is the most quoted verse in the entire Old Testament. It is the Jewish Creed of Grace. Let's break down these four pillars of God's heart: Compassionate (Rachum): Related to the word for "womb." It describes a mother's visceral feeling for her helpless infant. Merciful (Chanun): Meaning gracious, generous, giving favor that is undeserved. Slow to Get Angry (Erek Apayim): Literally, "Long of Nose." In Hebrew idiom, anger was associated with a hot nose or snorting. To be "long of nose" means it takes a long time for God's nose to get hot. He has a very long...

In this Prayer Podcast episode, Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe introduces Pesukei Dezimra (Verses of Praise) with Psalm 30—a relatively recent addition (about 400 years ago, per the Arizal)—as the gateway to deeper prayer. Though King David wrote it for the Temple's dedication (which his son Solomon performed), David embedded "Shlomo" acrostically and merited its use through his lifelong investment. The psalm transforms synagogues into a "mikdash me'at" (mini-Temple), elevating our mindset from social gathering to direct encounter with Hashem.Verse-by-verse, Rabbi Wolbe reveals David's profound humility: success is Hashem lifting us, not personal triumph; healing means forgiveness of sin; enemies are our yetzer hara (evil inclination); fleeting anger contrasts Hashem's desire for eternal life. Priorities flip—song precedes praise—reflecting constant gratitude turning into joyous overflow. The psalm parallels personal repentance, the Golden Calf forgiveness (leading to Tabernacle readiness on 25 Kislev—hinting at Chanukah), and dual emotions of joy/mourning.Ultimately, Psalm 30 aligns us: all is from Hashem, challenges are for growth, prayer humbles us to His will, and sincere cries (like David's, Chana's) are answered—preparing our souls to "sing forever" in Pesukei Dezimra's hallway to the Divine sanctuary._____________This Podcast Series is Generously Underwritten by Dr. Leonard & June GoldbergDownload the Prayer Podcast Worksheets:https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1iBVevW1ydyjSeyeO0iCcina7e8vix3Lt?usp=sharingThis episode (Ep. #42) of the Prayer Podcast by Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe of TORCH is dedicated to my dearest friends, Dr. Leonard & June Goldberg!

Our chapter tells the story of the Golden Calf.Did the Israelites, who heard God speak from heaven, genuinely think that they could exchange God with an image of a calf that they had constructed? How did they fall so swiftly into idolatry?

The episode opens with the perennial prompt, "What the hell is going on?" and uses a small, concrete moment—an eighth-grader's intense anti-cheating check at a standardized test—to probe larger cultural drift. Are we lowering the baseline of civility and trust, or simply confronting old human problems in new packaging? The hosts toggle between the granular and the global: fraying norms in U.S. and Israeli politics, the difference between safety theater and integrity, and the unsettling feeling that structures once thought stable are wobbling. From there, the conversation tests three stances. One voice argues for historical moderation—by many measures the world is safer and fairer than in the past—while another insists that unprecedented anxieties are real, at least in our lifetimes. A third position says it may be stasis: humanity cycles through brutality and beauty. Jewish frames help hold these tensions—Kohelet's "nothing new," the dual memory of Sinai and the Golden Calf, "yeridat hadorot" versus the possibility of ascent, daily blessings that sanctify the mundane—alongside secular touchstones (evolution's cruelty, Viktor Frankl's meaning-making, and a Robert Hass passage on small consolations). The three Rabbis landson agency as the Jewish answer to metaphysical fog. Even without messianic guarantees, a "1% hope" that suffering can be reduced obligates effort: ask better questions, act in one's community, and keep resetting the moral bar. The podcast's purpose, they conclude, is exactly this: to take big, destabilizing questions, run them through Jewish texts and practice, and emerge not with neat solutions but with clearer bearings—and a renewed charge to get to work.

On this episode of The Truth Changes Everything Podcast, Dr. Jeff Myers welcomes Bible teacher, preacher, and counselor Jeremy Dehut to explore the documentary Out of Egypt. Jeremy shares his journey into the story of the Exodus, retracing the Israelites' path from slavery to the Promised Land while uncovering surprising connections between biblical history and ancient Egyptian culture. They dive into fresh insights from the Exodus story—how God uses familiar cultural symbols to reveal deeper truths, the challenge of events like the death of the firstborn, and the lessons of covenant faithfulness highlighted in episodes such as the Golden Calf. Jeremy also reflects on his experience climbing Mt. Sinai and how encountering the physical and spiritual weight of the mountain deepened his understanding of God's presence. Finally, they explore how Christians today can draw inspiration from the Exodus story, seeing Jesus as the ultimate deliverer and participating in God's mission of freedom and restoration in the world.

Exodus 32:1-33:6

The golden calf in Exodus 32 is not just an ancient misstep; it is a mirror showing how easily we reshape God when waiting feels unbearable. When Moses delayed, the Israelites did not try to replace God; they tried to redefine Him on their terms. This message explores how seasons of waiting expose our spiritual amnesia and lure us toward modern idols like comfort, approval, control, and power that promise freedom but lead us into deeper slavery. At the core of the sermon is this truth: Jesus plus nothing equals everything. Whether you are waiting for healing, direction, restoration, or breakthrough, the call is to identify the idols we have formed, fix our eyes on Jesus, and stay faithful even in the silence. You might be closer to breakthrough than you think, maybe even on day 39 of a 40-day trial. Do not give up. God is still working, still speaking, and still standing in the gap for you.

Rusty slays a sacred cow in the common interpretation of the golden calf arc in Israel’s history, shedding light on what each person was going through in those events. The perspectives of Moshe, and most notably, Aaron become shockingly relatable, causing us to consider where we lack leadership and love for God in our lives.

Al and Zach lose their composure when John Luke walks onto the set with a surprise introduction to his pet mascot, sparking a favorite memory of Phil comparing himself to the late Steve Irwin, the Crocodile Hunter. The guys then examine Moses' response to the Israelites building a golden idol while he was in God's presence receiving the Ten Commandments. Al adds that Indiana Jones' treatment of the Ark of the Covenant in Raiders of the Lost Ark might be one of the few things Hollywood ever got right about God's power and beauty.

"The Golden Calf"Exodus 32:1-35Behold, a Cow: The futility of idolatryBehold, a Mediator: The need for intercessionBehold, your God: How then should we live?1. Trust wholly in Jesus2. Don't desire evil3. Remember your faithful Savior

This is part one of two in looking at Leviticus 19. This chapter has various laws outlined within the “holiness code,” the set of rules designed to keep Israel safe and set apart in the land they are going to enter. Included in this talk are rules on respecting parents, observing the sabbath, abstaining from the worship of idols, and ordinances on not stealing or lying.Outline: 00:04 - Introduction to Leviticus 1902:28 - Reading of Leviticus 19.1-2005:20 - Leviticus 19.1-2 - Be holy - be set apartLev 17-26 is the “holiness code”; these are rules to govern Israel. Bible verses covered: Exo 19.6, 1 Pet 1.14-16, and Rom 12.1-2.12:56 - Leviticus 19.3 - Respect your Mother & FatherThere is a reason God made this one of the commandments; it's important to honor your parents and show them respect. This commandment also includes a promise “so that it will go well with you and that you will ENJOY life.” Treat your parents as you would like to be treated by your children. Honor them, respect them Bible verses included: Ex 20.12, Eph 6.2-3, Pro 1.8, Pro 6.20 and Pro 23.22 16:54 - Leviticus 19.3 - Observe my SabbathsThe Israelite was commanded to rest on Shabbat, the Jewish Sabbath (Sundown on Friday to sundown on Saturday). This was a to be a day to rest, to spend with your family before the Lord. Not to work. Not wanting to break the 4th commandment, jews took this to the extreme (and still do to this day), Ex: Sabbath elevators in Jerusalem. The jews made rules on top of rules to make sure that they did not break the 4th commandment. To the extent that it was more about not breaking ANY rules about the sabbath then it was about enjoying and honoring God within the sabbath.Bible verses included: Exo 20.8-11, Exo 16:21-26, Mrk 2.23-27 and Col 2.16-17. Decide as a family how you will spend the sabbath.26:00 - Leviticus 19.4 - Do not turn to IdolsWhat is an idol - something that you worship other than the Lord. Examples of idols: Gen 31 - Laban and his “household gods” - small figurines. Ex 32 - the Golden Calf. King Hezekiah destroyed the bronze serpent in 2 Kings 18.4 and called it “Nehushtan” - a thing made of bronze.. Num 21,4-9 is the original story with John 3.14 being where Jesus says it is about him. Also read Isaiah 44. 33:45 - Leviticus 19.5-8 - Fellowship Offerings. For more see Lev 7.11-1835:05 - Leviticus 19.9-10 - Care for the poor in your harvest. This deals with not harvesting 100% of your crops but leaving some for the poor. Other Bible verses on this: Deut 24.19-21 and Ruth 2.2-3.37:53 - Leviticus 19.11a, 13, 35 - Do not steal (do not rob, defraud, hold back wages, or use dishonest scales). Bible verses covered: Lev 19.11a, 13, 35; Deut 25.15-16; Pro 11; 16; 20; 23 and Exo 20.15.40:51 - Leviticus 19.11b, & 16a - Do not Lie or deceive (or slander). Bible verses included: Lev 19.11b; Lev 19.16a; Ex 20.16; Prov 12.22; Eph 4.17-29Support Iron Sheep Ministries: https://Ironsheep.org/donateContact Dave & the ISM team: info@ironsheep.orgJoin the email list: http://eepurl.com/g-2zAD

Punishment in the Bible is sometimes called discipline. Discipline from God is always loving and always necessary to point us back to Jesus. Pastor Jon Bilitz is our guest as we finish discussing the true story of Israel and the Golden Calf. 

The true story of the Golden Calf surely exposes great sin, but it also beautifully highlights God's unmatched faithfulness and his amazing grace. Pastor Jon Bilitz is our guest this week. 

Who would dare preach regression in an era obsessed with forward momentum? As artificial intelligence and technology race ahead faster than we can comprehend, the Almighty challenges us to do something radical – look backward. The Asaras Yame Teshuva (Ten Days of Repentance) invites us into a countercultural practice of spiritual retrospection that ultimately propels us forward.Rosh Hashanah's shofar blast serves as our spiritual alarm clock, cutting through life's noise to awaken us to what truly matters. This divine wake-up call demands we place everything under the magnifying glass – our thoughts, relationships, businesses, and communal affairs. Have we channeled our unique capabilities to further God's will? Have we fulfilled our potential as Jews and as human beings? These questions may feel uncomfortable, but their discomfort signals their importance.The most profound message of this season lies in its radical inclusivity. Even those who have "grown old in sin," "spent decades in defiance," or "danced around a golden calf of deified sensualism" are welcomed back into divine embrace. Just as God declared "Salachti" (I have forgiven) after the catastrophic sin of the Golden Calf, Yom Kippur offers us the opportunity for complete renewal. The person who emerges from sincere teshuvah isn't just forgiven but transformed – "you 1.0" gives way to a refreshed version, unburdened by past failings and energized by new possibilities.This week, replace grudges with forgiveness and redirect your attributes toward divine service. With sincere effort and a genuine "righting of the ship," you can experience the lightness of being welcomed home by a loving Creator who declares, "You are totally pure. I have forgiven."

Moses has brought the Israelites to Mount Sinai to meet with God who shows up in a mighty way. However, even after this awesome meeting, the Israelites soon slip into idolatry and moral bankruptcy. This leads to some pretty awful consequences and almost causes the people to lose their special place as God's chosen people. How will they react? Will they simply move ahead or will they repent?

In this episode of the Parsha Review Podcast, Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe delves into Parshas Devarim, the opening portion of the Book of Deuteronomy, which serves as a review (Mishneh Torah) of the Torah's teachings, encapsulating Moses' final remarks to the Jewish people. Rabbi Wolbe focuses on the first verse (Deuteronomy 1:1), which lists seemingly extraneous locations—such as the wilderness, Arava, and Dizahav—where Moses spoke to the Israelites. Quoting Rashi, he explains that these are veiled critiques of the Jewish people's past sins, including the complaints after Egypt, the Midianite women, the spies, the manna, Korach's rebellion, and the Golden Calf. Moses delivers these critiques gently to avoid direct confrontation, reflecting the Torah's sensitivity to prevent embarrassment.Rabbi Wolbe ties this to the upcoming month of Elul, a time for introspection and gentle self-critique, and shares his grandfather's advice to young husbands to avoid critiquing their wives for three years to preserve their relationship. He references a Talmudic teaching from Yevamot 65b, which mandates offering constructive criticism only when it will be accepted, and withholding it otherwise, emphasizing that effective critique requires knowing the recipient well and prioritizing their growth over personal catharsis. Rabbi Wolbe recounts a story about Rabbi Yaakov Galinsky visiting Rabbi Hetskel Levenstein during shiva, where Levenstein lamented that no one offered him introspective critique about his wife's passing, unlike the sages who lovingly prompted Rav Huna to reflect on his loss of 400 barrels of wine (Tractate Berachot 5b). This underscores the value of constructive feedback from trusted friends. Rabbi Wolbe encourages embracing criticism as a path to self-improvement, as taught in Ethics of the Fathers (6:6), and warns against arrogance that rejects critique. He concludes by urging listeners to use gentle, loving critique to foster personal growth and prepare for Rosh Hashanah, wishing all a meaningful Shabbos._____________This episode (Ep 7.40) of the Parsha Review Podcast by Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe on Parshas Bamidbar is dedicated in honor of our Holy Soldiers in the Battlefield and our Torah Scholars in the Study Halls who are fighting for the safety of our nation!Download & Print the Parsha Review Notes:https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1ncaRyoH5iJmGGoMZs9y82Hz2ofViVouv?usp=sharingRecorded at TORCH Studios (C) to an online TORCHzoom.com audience on August 15, 2025, in Passaic, New Jersey.Released as Podcast on August 17, 2025_____________Subscribe: Apple Podcasts (https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/parsha-review-podcast-rabbi-aryeh-wolbe/id1651930083)Spotify (https://open.spotify.com/show/22lv1kXJob5ZNLaAl6CHTQ) to stay inspired! Share your questions at awolbe@torchweb.org or visit torchweb.org for more Torah content.  _____________About the Host:Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe, Director of TORCH in Houston, brings decades of Torah scholarship to guide listeners in applying Jewish wisdom to daily life.  To directly send your questions, comments, and feedback: awolbe@torchweb.org_____________Support Our Mission:Help us share Jewish wisdom globally by sponsoring an episode at torchweb.org.

Timothy Brindle vs. PCA Golden Calf | Crosspolitic What happens when a pastor challenges the PCA's untouchable idol? Timothy Brindle found out the hard way. At the 2025 PCA General Assembly, Pastor Timothy Brindle was silenced mid-sentence while questioning the reelection of Mission North America coordinator Irwin Ince. His crime? Pointing out that Ince's support for racial "affinity groups" violates James's command to "show no partiality." While other pastors freely criticized Ince's financial management and missed church planting goals, Brindle was shut down for touching the PCA's golden calf: racial reconciliation ideology. The Crosspolitic Guys and special guest Doug Wilson break down what really happened, why it matters, and what this reveals about the current state of the Presbyterian Church in America.
