Oh. My. Goodness. The words of Galadriel disarmed me, I cannot imagine what they did for Gimli.

During his ministry, Jesus repeatedly referred to himself as the Bread of Life. His words would have stirred echoes of the Torah: “Man does not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of the LORD.” Just as bread sustains the body, the words of the LORD nourish the soul. Yet, Jesus's teachings were not always easy to digest. His words could be unsettling and paradigm-shifting, turning long-held beliefs on their heads. Some who heard him turned away. But Simon Peter recognized the truth. When others left, he confessed, “Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life” In this series, we will dive deep into one of Jesus's most famous teachings, the Sermon on the Mount. We will consider how these words of life nourish us, even as they challenge us, and how we might apply them to our lived stories today. Dostoyevsky once said that “beauty will save the world.” This week, Rick Callahan invited us to consider how Jesus' call to be Salt and Light echoes the call for Christians to fill the world with Truth, Goodness, and Beauty. While many of us find it easy to focus on the first two, it's not always clear where Beauty fits in. Rick helped us explore how doing justice, loving mercy, and walking humbly with God (Micah 6:8) can make the world a more beautiful place, helping us live into Jesus' command to be Salt and Light in a world desperate for healing and transformation.

Send us a textWelcome to the Damn Dude Podcast, hosted by California Cal!This is Season 5, Episode 4!We've got a very very very special guest in the house today! In the midst of all the chaos in this country and world, we need a breath of fresh air and some wholesomeness! So we brought on my kiddo, 8 year old Fordie!!Ford has such a kind and pure heart and message, everybody needs to let this one in.While the country either mourned or mocked Charlie Kirk's passing, we were at home having to coordinate to put the dog down, and that was very personal and deep to the family, but especially to Ford. Experiencing death is never fun, but an absolutely essential part of life.I think we all grew as a family and a movement in the sense that we believe its not right to mock the dead or speak negatively on anybody, especially anybody who isn't there to defend themselves.We get into what it's like in the world of an 8 year old growing up in San Diego, California, moving through life the way it is right now. If you are one of those who believe the world is doomed and there's no hope, then you NEED to listen to this one. This is our hope, this is our future, Goodness exists and is actively alive in many of our families and private conversations.Fordie tells us what its like to have to put the family dog down, what 3rd grade life is like, how he thinks humans should be living life, and a very powerful message from his 8 year old self, to his adult self!

Part 2 of Goodness of God

Part 2 of Goodness of God

Various Texts | JD Summers Disciplining children is a sensitive topic today, but God's Word makes clear that it is a spiritual duty for parents. Biblical discipline goes beyond words and uses actions to deal with matters of the heart. God disciplines us out of love, and our discipline must do the same, not involving aggressive physical force applied out of anger, but rather appropriate discipline from a heart of loving correction. Ultimately, discipline opens the door to the gospel, providing an opportunity to highlight the nature of sin and the goodness of God's forgiving grace.

Bearing good fruit and living out Jesus' values are what glorify God. The world longs for what Spirit-led lives offer. The fruit of love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control shows who we are and indicates if we're living as God intends. When led by the Spirit, doing right becomes instinctive, not just rule-based obedience. In this 9-part series, we will dive into each of the fruit of the Spirit and what living from those means for us as His Church and for those who desperately need Jesus.

Joining host Michael Azevedo on this episode is Andy DeMeo, the creator and host of the Granite Goodness podcast and Substack newsletter.   Andy has a belief that most news thrives on outrage, fear, and conflict. And he created "Granite Goodness" in order to take a different approach. The podcast and newsletter highlights what Andy calls real progress happening across New England in science, tech, sustainability, business, economics, infrastructure, and more. It's Andy's contention that when people see a better world is possible, they are more likely to build it. At the core of "Granite Goodness" is a belief that optimism is pragmatic, not naive.

Not Righteous Professing Christians Are "Whitewashed Tombstones" - Pretty on the Outside but Dead on the Inside MESSAGE SUMMARY: A righteousness, that comes from your being in communion with the Holy Spirit, is not like a professing Christian who is really just a "whitewashed tombstone" -- pretty on the outside but dead on the inside. Rather, followers of Jesus are called to live righteous lives, as we are instructed by the Psalmist in Psalms 37:39: “The salvation of the righteous is from the LORD; he is their stronghold in the time of trouble.". Also, Paul tells us in Romans 1:17: “For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith for faith, as it is written, ‘The righteous shall live by faith.'”. In Acts 1:8, Jesus tells us, as His followers, that: “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.". In Matthew 5, Jesus tells us, as His followers, that we are different and blessed; and these blessings flow from your living a righteous life in Him. Allow the Holy Spirit to create in you a clean and pure heart.   TODAY'S PRAYER: Lord, I acknowledge that I prefer to ignore and deny my pain and loss. I struggle with seeing how resurrection life can come out of death. Grant me the courage to pay attention to what you are doing, and to wait on you — even when everything in me wants to run away. In Jesus' name, amen. Scazzero, Peter. Emotionally Healthy Spirituality Day by Day (p. 114). Zondervan. Kindle Edition. TODAY'S AFFIRMATION: Today, because of I am filled with the Holy Spirit, I will not be controlled by my Evil Ways. Rather, I will walk in the Spirit's fruit of Goodness. “The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.” (Galatians 5:22f).

“You are good and do good.” This verse from Psalm 119 identifies one of God’s central attributes: goodness. God is supremely good. He is the most desirable good, and the generous Giver who shares his goodness with others, even before creation itself.

So Carmen thought it sounded so good that we may need to do something like it today.  The Sound of Music is celebrating an anniversary  Dave read the description for a product he was interested in buying online and thought the name of it sounded off.  Our Midweek Praise Break always sounds good.

In this class, Rabbi Bernath reframed the very idea of confession in Judaism. While most people think of confession as listing sins and failures, the Torah introduces Vidui Ma'aser, a “confession” where the farmer proudly declares to G-d that he has fulfilled every detail of the mitzvah of tithing. Why would the Torah call this a confession? Because true spiritual growth begins not by beating ourselves down, but by acknowledging the good we've done. When we confess our strengths, we build the confidence and clarity to face our shortcomings without despair.Confession, then, isn't meant to break us, it's meant to fix us. It's not about shame; it's about uncovering the truth that we are divine souls who sometimes fall short but are always capable of rising higher. By celebrating our goodness first, we create the spiritual courage to transform our failures into growth.Key TakeawaysConfession in Judaism isn't only about failure: The Torah's “tithing confession” is actually a declaration of success.Celebrate your victories: By verbalizing what you've done right, you strengthen your belief in your own holiness and capacity.Healthy confession = owning both sides: “I am good and capable, and that's why this mistake doesn't fit me, and I can do better.”Encouragement inspires growth: Just as children thrive when parents highlight strengths before weaknesses, we too change more when we see ourselves through the lens of goodness.Chassidic joy in confession: Like the Baal Shem Tov's cantor, we can sing our confessions, not out of arrogance or denial, but because cleansing the soul is a joyful act of uncovering diamonds beneath the dirt.Confession challenge: In the next 24 hours, “confess” something good you've done, out loud, to yourself or someone you trust. Let it remind you who you really are.#Judaism #Jewish #chabad #Rabbi #Kabbalah #Torah #TorahLessons #TorahPortion #torahwisdom #BibleStudy #Bible #confession #goodness #psychology #baalshemtov #KiTavo #Teshuvah #ViduiMaaser #JewishGrowthSign up for "The Forgiveness Lab" HERE: theloverabbi.com/eventsSupport the showGot your own question for Rabbi Bernath?

Questions about how to showcase God's goodness when we're really struggling in our suffering, an explanation of God's response at the end of the book of Job, and whether we should conclude from Job that it's inappropriate to ask God why we're suffering.   How can we still glorify God and showcase his goodness when we're really struggling in our suffering—exhausted, depressed, etc.? I understand Satan attacking Job and why God allowed it, but I'm puzzled by God's response to Job at the end of the book. Should we conclude from Job that it's inappropriate to ask God why we're going through certain struggles and suffering?

Job 42 - At the end of Job it is clear that the book is neither a how-to manual nor a collection of explanations for our sufferings. Even still, the final chapter recounts many of the book's enduring principles that help us stand when suffering comes our way. It also leaves us with its most important principle of all: the call to trust the good and gracious character of the God who promises to one day put all things right. A sermon by Cameron Heger.

This series dives into how God develops these character traits in our lives and how Jesus exemplifies them perfectly.

This is a rerelease of a previous episode. In response to a listener question, Derek, Matt, and Alastair go deep on the doctrine of creation. They ask and answer questions about whether creation is real, what counts as worship, what makes a doctrine of creation thick or thin, and whether we need to be thinking about God at all times.  Timestamps: On the Excitement Meter [0:00] Wherein Lies the Deepness?

Stand Alone Sermon / Genesis 3:1-7 / Brad Brown

Ephesians 5:9

Psalm 34 is an anchor passage for many believers, written by David in a moment of fear and failure, yet filled with praise and hope. From the cave where David hid, he reminds us to “taste and see that the Lord is good.” This psalm shows us how God meets us in our deepest fears and longings, and invites us into a life shaped not by fear or misplaced desire, but by trust in Him.Here are some things we'll learn from Psalm 34:· How David's story shows us that fear can distort our choices, but also how God redeems our failures.· Why the “fear of the Lord” is not paralyzing, but transforming. It is teaching us to take God seriously and find protection and refuge in Him.· How our desires, when misdirected, can enslave us, but when set on the Lord lead to true abundance.· The invitation to taste and see God's goodness firsthand, not through secondhand accounts, but in personal experience with Him.· How Jesus fulfills the promises of Psalm 34, becoming what we were not so that we can become who God created us to be.Support our mission and learn more atwww.alloflife.churchGive to the work of the gospel herewww.alloflife.churchcenter.com/giving

In this episode, Elise Loehnen explains why chasing goodness keeps us stuck and how to choose wholeness instead. For so many of us, the drive to be “good” shapes how we show up – as friends, partners, coworkers, even in how we speak to ourselves on hard days. But what does it cost us to live that way? Elise invites us to see that the real challenge isn't to feed only the good wolf, but to become a whole wolf; one who integrates all parts of ourselves, even the ones we'd rather hide. She explores the hidden price of goodness, the surprising usefulness of envy, the roles we unconsciously inherit, and the stories that keep us small. This conversation will help you rethink what wholeness means and how embracing it can lead to a more authentic, empowered life.Discover the six hidden saboteurs that quietly derail your best intentions—like autopilot behavior, self-doubt, and emotional escape.

Ever feel like you're constantly trying to be the perfect friend, partner, coworker, or mom? That pressure to live up to everyone else's expectations is a trap—and it's keeping you stuck in self-sacrifice and people-pleasing. In this episode, I'm chatting with Elise Loehnen, author of On Our Best Behavior, about how we can stop chasing the impossible standard of “goodness” and start embracing our whole, authentic selves. We break down how society programs women to seek external approval—and why that's keeping us disconnected from our real power. If you're ready to stop living a performance and start showing up as your true self, let's go.Get full show notes, transcript, and more information here: https://schoolofnewfeministthought.com/418Mentioned in this episode:Have you been secretly dreaming of becoming a coach?I've got something for you.

“What does it mean to make change in my life—not from a place that there was something wrong with me?” asks my coauthor Courtney Smith. “But I made choices that have gotten me here. I respect and value those choices. I understand I wouldn’t be here without them. And I'm also choosing to do something a little bit different going forward.” Courtney is a coach, group facilitator, and Enneagram expert. Today, we’re taking you through the seven tools that form the core process of our new workbook Choosing Wholeness Over Goodness: A Process for Reclaiming Your Full Self. If you want to go deeper, I’m including a lot of interconnected material in the show notes (per usual, though)—including links to my past conversations with Courtney.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
