NBN host Hollay Ghadery speaks with award-winning author Dave Margoshes' novel, A Simple Carpenter (Radiant Press, 2024)—which recently won a Saskatchewan Book Award and the Western Canada Jewish Book Award for Fiction. Set in the early and mid-‘80s in the Middle East, A Simple Carpenter plays out against a backdrop of strife in Lebanon and ethnic/religious tensions between Jews and Arabs in Israel and Palestine. This historical backdrop serves as an empathetic and thoughtful commentary on our modern political climate. Part biblical fable, part magic realism, and part thriller, A Simple Carpenter follows the epic journey of a ship's carpenter stranded on a small Mediterranean island and visited by a frightening mysterious creature. He's lost his memory but has acquired the ability to speak, write and understand all languages. After his rescue, he spends time in a Lebanese coastal village recuperating with a group of nuns who, observing him perform what appear to be small miracles, take him to be the second coming of Jesus Christ. Later in Beirut he's hired as a translator for the UN peacekeeping force, and is recruited as a messenger for a group named Black September. On a quest to find his true identity he travels on foot across the hills to the Sea of Galilee, encountering a series of strange and magical communities evoking biblical times along the way. More about Dave Margoshes: Dave Margoshes is a Saskatoon-area poet and fiction writer. He began his writing life as a journalist, working as a reporter and editor on a number of daily newspapers in the U.S. and Canada, and has taught journalism​ and creative writing​.He has published twenty books of fiction, nonfiction and poetry.

Send us a textIn this powerful episode, I sit down with Katie Loveless to explore the spark that started Soul of Great Worth and the profound impact it has had. We dive into the realities of depression, the small but meaningful steps toward healing, and how scripture study shifts through life's highs and lows. Katie shares her personal journey with mental health, unexpected lessons, and what she would say to someone struggling to connect with God in a hard season. This is a conversation full of hope, healing, and truth—you won't want to miss it!------------------Katie's WebsiteKatie's Instagram @soulofgreatworthJennie's Etsy Shop“Imagine yourself as a living house. God comes in to rebuild that house. At first, perhaps, you can understand what He is doing. He is getting the drains right and stopping the leaks in the roof and so on; you knew that those jobs needed doing and so you are not surprised. But presently He starts knocking the house about in a way that hurts abominably and does not seem to make any sense. What on earth is He up to? The explanation is that He is building quite a different house from the one you thought of - throwing out a new wing here, putting on an extra floor there, running up towers, making courtyards. You thought you were being made into a decent little cottage: but He is building a palace. He intends to come and live in it Himself.”― C.S. Lewis, Mere Christianity

Live your life with these values.4. Remember you are more than just a uniform. “Sports can bring out the best of people…ordinary people who overcome fear and self doubt and do great things.

The Return of the King (Book V, Chapter 4): The Siege of Gondor | "A Little People, But of Great Worth"

Paul holds up Timothy and Epaphroditus as examples of dependable servants of God. Timothy is an example for us of what it means to be a Christian of great worth. Paul says, I hope in the Lord Jesus to send Timothy to you soon, so that I too may be cheered by news of you. For I have no one like him, who will be genuinely concerned for your welfare. For they all seek their own interests, not those of Jesus Christ. But you know Timothy's proven worth…And of Epaphroditus, Paul says, I have thought it necessary to send to you Epaphroditus my brother and fellow worker and fellow soldier…that you may rejoice at seeing him again, and that I may be less anxious. So, receive him in the Lord with all joy, and honor such men, for he nearly died for the work of Christ, risking his life to complete what was lacking in your service to me.

7 November, 2021 - Matthew 13:44-46

As the last ten nights of Ramadan approach and believers actively seek the blessed Laylatul Qadr (Night of Great Worth), Ustadh Amjad Tarsin reminds us that the Sunnah of the Prophet ﷺ was to strive even harder in ibadah (worship) during this time, anticipating the unique Divine gifts that are possible. He also mentions how to make oneself ready to receive these gifts and recites several powerful du'as particular to this time, recognizing that Allah the Exalted always has infinitely more to give.

Maurice Harker discusses the importance of the scriptures in this clip from Spiritual Psychology Masterclass. He show how important it is to view the scriptures as something of great worth in the way we study.

Each person has an ultimate question to answer: if Jesus is who he says he is, what is His worth and what does that mean to you?To those whom God reveals it, Jesus is the ultimate and priceless gift to the world. His church is built on the foundation of Jesus being the promised Savior and people will be saved through knowing and believing in Him. But in a culture that is so focused on self-satisfaction and cost, we must realign our view in light of value of Jesus. His value doesn't fluctuate on how much we want Him or need Him or what we do for Him. He is constant and glorious all on His own. So, we must devote not only our moments, but our entire life to obey, exalt, and worship Him. Then share that same worth and value of Christ to those we know, love, and encounter.

Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves, not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the others. In your relationships with one another, have the same mindset as Christ Jesus: Who, being in very nature God,    did not consider equality with God something to be used to his own advantage;rather, he made himself nothing    by taking the very nature of a servant,    being made in human likeness.And being found in appearance as a

You Are of Great Worth

Passage: Matthew 13:44-46. Series: Parables of the Kingdom. Preacher: James Pope

Guest speaker Marios Ellinas speaks on how yourlife is so valuable there is so much much than we know on earth. In spite of any of your failures, they have made you stronger and better. You are God's preacher on the earth - you are His message and His voice. Your best message is yet to be preached; your best days are yet to be lived.

JAN 6-12 Great Worth

Through our Lord's death, God has poured out His boundless love for humankind. Christ is the ultimate expression of God's character: that He is merciful, gracious, slow to anger, and abounding in steadfast love. His death showed the world's great worth, and how highly we should value not just ourselves, but also others.

The Kingdom of Great Worth

Ustadh Amjad Tarsin inspires us to rev up our Ramadan devotions, giving a reminder on fasting and Ramadan from the section in Imam Haddad's Book of Assistance. He underscores the importance of increasing one's good works, staying in the mosque, and performing night prayers (tarawih) in the sacred month. Next, he sheds light on the Night of Great Worth (laylat al-qadr), giving some pointers on which night it is. At the same time, he reminds that "it's not a lottery," and that Allah's mercy is continually manifest in all of the odd nights. Finally, Ustadh Amjad discusses the recommendation of hastening one's iftar and delaying sahur, while giving guidelines on how this is to be practically applied. He closes by highlighting some of the meritorious days on which to fast throughout the year and the great virtue of fasting in general.

Proverbs 1:20-33; 3:13-20; 8:1-36I. Calling Out WisdomII. Wisdom Calling OutIII. Wisdom’s Great Worth

Is the constant grind to being great worth it? To sacrifice of relationships, friendships and time worth it?

Handling Criticism! Have you ever been made fun of or criticized for doing the right thing?  The Hebrew scriptures provide for us a story of doing the right thing and being criticized and made fun of for it.  The story is found in the Book of Nehemiah.  If you have gone through a time of opposition, Nehemiah offers some counseling in dealing with critics.  Please read the book of Nehemiah.  The destructive critics make their attacks personal.  They question your motives.  They spread rumors.  They run with other critics.  They resist change.  They are sarcastic.  They use intimidation.  They try to discourage those around you. How does one deal with destructive critics or criticisms?  The prophet Nehemiah used prayer.  When criticized, ask God if the criticism is just.  Pray for courage to change.  Pray for those who are doing the criticizing.  Pray for humility and the ability not to take things personal.  Pray for wisdom, strength, and discernment to keep doing what is right.  The prophet knew that the critics' problems were not with him, but with God.  When you remind yourself God is in control, you recognize criticism for what it is and you do not allow it to dissuade you.  God was persistent in doing the right thing.  The best way at times to deal with critics is to outlast them, doing what you know God has called you to do. Many times the races that we have in life do not go to the swift, but to the one who perseveres.  If you are going through a time when it seems that everything you try is being met with opposition, if you feel like your critics are being destructive instead of constructive, recognize that when you step out on faith, follow God, and try to make a difference.  You will be criticized.  Expect it and deal with it through prayer, keeping the proper perspective, and being persistent. Blessings, CH K.
