The physical setting of Jesus' "Sermon on the Plain" in Luke's gospel shows the radical character of the kingdom that Jesus announced and served, calling his followers well beyond the familiarity of the Golden Rule. Preaching text: Luke 6:20-31Bible for Worship is a weekly introduction to the scripture passage that is likely to be the basis for the sermon on the following weekend. It correlates with the Revised Common Lectionary as it is used at St. Paul. With Peter A. Pettit, teaching pastor.

#Treat others as you would like to be treated
Inner peace, as expressed by love, exists as goodness itself and is the strongest alternative to helplessness, resentment, hate, insanity, bitterness, and crazy violence. Here, we focus our attention on the capacity for a generous love that embraces such virtues as kindness, courage, forgiveness, gratitude, dignity for all, and hope. Stephen G. Post, Ph.D. is among a handful of individuals awarded the distinguished service award by the National Alzheimer's Association. In 2001 he founded The Institute for Research on Unlimited Love, which researches and distributes knowledge on kindness, giving and spirituality. Post served as a co-chair of the United Nations Population Fund Conference on Spirituality and Global Transformation. He's a professor in the Department of Preventative Medicine at Stony Brook University and founder and director of the Stony Brook Center for Medical Humanities, Compassionate Care and Bioethics.

In this episode of The Steward Chair, John Sensiba, retiring CEO of Sensiba, and Monique Ramirez, his successor, share a masterclass on why intentional succession is the ultimate act of stewardship. John shares his journey of leading the firm through two major economic crises by refusing to abandon core values. They explore how the Golden Rule and simple, unwavering priorities—family, community, and firm—drive meaningful, long-term success. We discuss the courage it takes to hand off a legacy gracefully, and how an "eat what you kill" compensation model can destroy culture. We also cover the immense privilege of receiving a planned, six-year leadership transition, providing actionable takeaways for leaders committed to stewardship, integrity, and impact. Key Takeaways The Ultimate Act of Stewardship is Succession: A leader’s most important duty is to prepare the organization for the next generation, viewing their role as a "transient caretaker" for the benefit of employees and the community. Values Are Non-Negotiable in Crisis: Establishing simple, clearly articulated priorities (like family, community, and firm in that order) and refusing to abandon values when they become "inconvenient" provides clarity and resilience during financial crises or global pandemics. Culture Over Compensation: The courage to abandon an "eat what you kill" compensation model for a subjective, values-based approach is necessary to cultivate a culture of collaboration, trust, and shared success.

If we treat the universe as being filled with some kind of elastic solid, can we get any closer to understanding the nature of light and gravity as the product of physical processes, or is there still some deeper principle that needs to be uncovered before we can develop a unified theory of the universe?

For this All Saints Sunday, Sarah Stenson teaches us what it means when Jesus describes those who are blessed. To be blessed means God has expended his benefits to you. And what are God's benefits? Mercy and unfairness. In this old world, you'd expect the poor to get food, shelter, and money, yet when the Holy Spirit gives us faith in the promise of Christ, the poor get a sermon. She concludes with the Golden Rule. All the other world religions treat others how they want to be treated because it ultimately benefits them. We do this because we have Christ's Word in our ear. CARE OF SOULS - ADDICTIONIn Care of Souls, a special mini-series podcast from Luther House of Study, Lutheran pastors and theologians come together to explore the deeply personal and pastoral task of preaching to and caring for those struggling with life's challenging situations: addiction, death, family disharmony, and more. Rooted in the theology of the cross and the Lutheran tradition of radical grace, this series offers both theological depth and practical guidance for pastors, church workers, and lay leaders.With conversations, real-life stories, and reflections from the front lines of ministry, Care of Souls equips listeners to enter the broken places of addiction not with easy answers, but with the crucified and risen Christ.Because in the end, it's not about fixing people—it's about preaching the Gospel.Listen to Care of Souls wherever you listen to podcasts or on the Luther House website: Care of Souls - AddictionCONFIRMATION Does your church have a confirmation class?

GOSPEL Luke 6:20-3120 Then he looked up at his disciples and said: "Blessed are you who are poor, for yours is the kingdom of God. 21 "Blessed are you who are hungry now, for you will be filled. "Blessed are you who weep now, for you will laugh. 22 "Blessed are you when people hate you, and when they exclude you, revile you, and defame you on account of the Son of Man. 23 Rejoice in that day and leap for joy, for surely your reward is great in heaven; for that is what their ancestors did to the prophets. 24 "But woe to you who are rich, for you have received your consolation. 25 "Woe to you who are full now, for you will be hungry. "Woe to you who are laughing now, for you will mourn and weep.26 "Woe to you when all speak well of you, for that is what their ancestors did to the false prophets. 27 "But I say to you that listen, Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, 28 bless those who curse you, pray for those who abuse you. 29 If anyone strikes you on the cheek, offer the other also; and from anyone who takes away your coat do not withhold even your shirt. 30 Give to everyone who begs from you; and if anyone takes away your goods, do not ask for them again. 31 Do to others as you would have them do to you.

Andrew DeCort joins me to explore what it means to love our neighbor — not as a vague ideal, but as a radical way of living that can heal our divisions and reshape our world. Drawing from his own story in Ethiopia and his new book Reviving the Golden Rule, Andrew shares how the practice of neighbor love dismantles fear, ends cycles of othering, and calls us into a deeper belonging rooted in the very heart of God. We talk about how love becomes courage in the face of violence, how Jesus' teaching to love even our enemies abolishes exclusion, and how the Neighbor-Love Movement is helping people embody this ancient command in practical, everyday ways. This is a powerful conversation about faith, reconciliation, and what it means to live as people who see every human being as a reflection of God's image.Andrew DeCort founded the Institute for Faith and Flourishing and cofounded the Neighbor-Love Movement in Ethiopia, which have reached over twenty million people with the invitation to nonviolent spirituality. He holds a PhD in religious ethics from the University of Chicago and has taught ethics, public theology, peace and conflict studies, and Ethiopian studies at Wheaton College, the Ethiopian Graduate School of Theology, and the University of Bonn. He is the author of Reviving the Golden Rule, Blessed Are the Others, Flourishing on the Edge of Faith, and Bonhoeffer's New Beginning. His words have appeared in Foreign Policy, the Los Angeles Review of Books, The Economist, Christianity Today, and numerous other platforms.Andrew's Book:Reviving the Golden RuleAndrew's Recommendation:Grief is LoveConnect with Joshua: jjohnson@shiftingculturepodcast.comGo to www.shiftingculturepodcast.com to interact and donate.

In this episode of Paradigm Shifting Books, hosts Stephen and Britain Covey dive into the fascinating science behind how habits quietly shape almost half of what we do each day. Joined by The Power of Habit author Charles Duhigg, they explore how cues, routines, and rewards work together to create powerful loops in the brain. By understanding how these loops operate, we can start to take real control over them.Stephen and Britain unpack the “Golden Rule of Habit Change” and explain why relying on willpower alone often doesn't work. They emphasize that habits can't simply be erased; they need to be replaced with something new. To bring the science to life, they share personal stories, like Britain's candy jar detours and how simple tools like phone-locking devices can make a real difference.They also connect Duhigg's research to the ideas in The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People and Atomic Habits, showing how these three books build on one another. This episode is a practical and inspiring listen for anyone who wants to build better habits, break old patterns, and take back control of their daily routines.What We Discuss[00:00] Introduction[00:34] The science of habits[02:34] "The Power of Habit" and foundational habit books[06:57] Why Charles Duhigg wrote "The Power of Habit"[09:18] The challenge of changing habits[12:09] The habit loop: cue, routine, reward[20:58] Awareness as the first step to change[24:43] The golden rule of habit changeNotable Quotes[21:25] "You can't erase a habit.

How strong are your conversation skills? Whether you are stepping into a boardroom, attending a networking event, or connecting with coworkers over coffee, the way you show up in conversations matters. This episode of the Forward Thinking Podcast features FCCS SVP of Marketing and Communications Stephanie Barton and Tracy Hooper, founder of the Confidence Project and author of The NOW Hello. Their conversation is filled with practical tips, personal stories, and the small language shifts that make a big difference in how we connect with others. Episode Insights Include: Why do conversations feel so hard? Anxiety around conversations is common and natural. When we focus too much on ourselves, we are unable to focus on the other person. Conversations should not be about you, but about the other person. Shift into curiosity mode – what can you learn? How can you make them comfortable? Techniques to start a conversation Before you enter any room, strike a power pose. “I'm going to meet some interesting people today, and this is going to be fun.” Start with a compliment or a connection you have. State something that you know about them or their company. Compliment a person's character or trait rather than their looks. Use the magic words – what, how, and tell me more. The Golden Rule – treat everyone as if they are the most important thing in the room. Tips for Introverts If you're not energized by meeting people, prepare your mind in advance. Don't try to meet every person in the room, select just 2 or 3 to focus on. It will take energy to talk to people, so be kind to yourself in the process. If you are exhausted after an event, take a nap! Entering an existing conversation Wait for a slight pause in the conversation, then say, “May I join you?” Highlight what you heard them talking about. Toe-to-toe means no – a conversation between two people is not appropriate to enter. Read body language to determine if the conversation is open to others. Help! I forgot their name Don't run in the opposite direction. Preempt the awkward – offer your name first. Mention that they look familiar or that you do recognize them. If necessary, simply say, “Help me with your name”. Make introductions when welcoming others into your conversation. “Come join us, we were just talking about ___” and “Do you all know each other?” “I'll let you all introduce yourselves.” Politely exiting a conversation The graceful dismount is a 4-step art that must be practiced. 1- Say thank you for the conversation. 2- Acknowledge the stories they told. 3- Use a farewell phrase about the future. 4- Offer a goodbye gesture. First impressions and body language Body language is the unsung hero of successful conversations. Pull your shoulders down and away from your ears. Good posture speaks confidence for you before you open your mouth. Practice good grooming in your appearance. Dress for success – don't touch your hair or your face. Check your tone of voice and slow down your words. Say three sentences and a period. Then it's their turn to talk. Consider what you actually want to say, and eliminate the filler words.

We're joined by two trailblazing thought leaders in organizational transformation and human potential:
'The Golden Rule' can be found in many religions and wisdom traditions. So why is it so often not followed? Listen on...
Jesus’ words in Matthew 7:12 — “Do to others what you would have them do to you” — sound simple, but living them out takes more than good intentions. In this message, Pastor Mitch challenges believers to move from comfort to calling, from taking to giving, and from sleeping to serving. Discover how the Golden Rule only becomes possible when our hearts are transformed by the finished work of Christ, and learn what it means to “strengthen what remains” and live as a light to the world.
St. Luke 6:31-36The Gospel's “Golden Rule” reveals more than an ethical ideal—it unveils the way God heals His creation. Fr. Anthony shows how practicing mercy, even toward our enemies, transforms hearts and communities, turning the parish itself into an ark of salvation and mechanism of the world's perfection.
“So whatever you wish that others would do to you, do also to them.” That's Matthew seven, twelve, and this is Something Good with Dr. Ron Jones. It's called the Golden Rule, and it's one of the most well-known teachings of Christ. But what does it look like in day-to-day life? How can we apply it in our marriages? In our communities? In the workplace? Ron offers his thoughts today in his continuing series, “Kingdom Come: Lessons from the Sermon on the Mount.”
Rachel Corpus, an embodied channel who remembers her time as an angel in the Angelic Realm, her past life as Mary Magdalene and her life with Jesus. We dive deep into soul swaps, NPCs, the Golden Rule, the New Earth/5D, and the different types of angels in the Angelic Realm. We weave through:Rachel's childhood near-death experience that revealed her angelic origin and mission.The angelic “neighborhoods” seraphim (nurseries, newborn planning) and dominions (ethics, the golden rule), and how angels prepare souls for incarnation.Soul swaps and how one soul can gracefully exchange with another at the edge of a death experience (animals reportedly do it often).NPCs / background people re-framed as souls with sacred agreements, why some souls act as the “foundation” for collective experience.Rachel's remembrance of being Mary Magdalene, the life she lived alongside Jesus, the role of women in scripture, and what was lost/edited in the retelling.Jesus as a God-realm presence, multiple soul-shares/incarnations, and the real meaning of the “Second Coming” as a collective remembering of Christ-within.The New Earth / 5D timeline: how the 3D and 5D timelines overlap, what living in 5D looks like, and practical signs that the timeline is shifting.Where to find Rachel: rachelcorpus.comSend us a textSupport the showLove the show?

From the Dark to the Light Do you celebrate life or death? We talk about figures like Charlie Kirk, Martin Luther King Jr., and JFK. Their lives were taken by another human being. Why do we want to kill someone for words they say or beliefs they hold? F.A. Hayek and John Maynard Keynes had vastly different beliefs and yet had a great friendship. They talked about their different beliefs and had friendly debates. Charlie Kirk was encouraging people with different beliefs to talk to each other and said that when people stop talking, that's when problems begin. We discuss the kid that shot him and what he is facing now. Bad things can happen, and how you choose to think about that situation can not only determine your results but can make a difference in how happy you are. The Golden Rule tells us to treat others the way we want to be treated. If we could all follow that, this world would be a better place.
