Welcome to our series on Anava . Chacham Bentzion Abba Shaul, in his sefer Or LeTzion Chochma UMussar (page 242) brings up the following point: On one hand, our rabbis tell us in Sanhedrin 37A, that everyone has an obligation to say, " The world was created for me. " That means you're supposed to look at the sun, the moon, the stars and know that everything in the world is there for me . That might sound like arrogance. But Chacham Bentzion says we see from here that humility does not mean that a person feels lowly and he is in a state of Ye'ush and despair thinking he has no value. It doesn't mean you think, "There's no benefit in what I am and in what I do." That's not the definition of humility. That's Shiflut/lowliness and negativity .. What is humility? Humility means that I believe that whatever I accomplish is a gift from Hashem. I'm a somebody. I may have a beautiful car or a beautiful watch, but someone gave me the car and someone gave me the watch. I'm not saying, This car is a piece of junk. No, it's a beautiful car, but it was given to me by somebody else . He further expounds on this by explaining a seeming contradiction: On one hand, the pasuk in Divrei Hayamim II 17:6 tells us, " וַיִּגְבַּ֥הּ לִבּ֖וֹ בְּדַרְכֵ֣י יְהֹוָ֑ה And his heart was uplifted in the ways of Hashem." VaYigba Libo almost means arrogance . But on the other hand, Mishleh tells us in pasuk 16:5, תּוֹעֲבַ֣ת יְ֭הֹוָה כׇּל־גְּבַהּ־לֵ֑ב יָ֥ד / it's an abomination to be arrogance. He explains that one refers to the past and the other one refers to the future. What you did in the past, you're supposed to be humble about. You're supposed to look back and say it was with Hashem's help. I'm supposed to look back and say, Baruch Hashem, thank you Hashem, for giving me those opportunities. Like the famous story that the Chafetz Chaim was once overheard in a moment of contemplation and meditation, discussing his life with Hashem, " Hashem, I owe You so much. You gave me the Mishna Berurah, you gave me the Chafetz Chaim, you gave me all these things." That's all in the past . But when you go in the future , you have to have strength. You can't despair. You should say, I'm gonna do it. I can do it. Conversely, I heard from Rav Wolbe that when the Chafetz Chaim was in the middle of his Mishna Berurah , there were certain tragedies and challenges that were going on in his personal life. One day he opened the window, shook his fist and said, " You're not going to stop me!" He was talking to the Yetzer Hara. Look at that courage! Look at the energy, look at the almost arrogance. I'm going do it! That's fine. I'm going to do it is beautiful. I did a little bit. I'm going to do more. I'll keep on doing more. I have talents that Hashem gave me. I'm going to keep growing . That attitude gives the person the drive to move further in his Avodat Hashem . He used the rule, One that has aspirations will be successful even though it looks like naturally it won't happen. His example is the tremendous drive that the Americans had to put a man on the moon. If you have a drive and you have a dream, you'll get there. But many people are broken because they flip the pipes. Instead of saying, Forget about what I did in the past, let's look at the future , they make the past the main thing. They focus on the past and forget about the future. This is the dichotomy between humility (or arrogance) and lowness in the wrong way. Rav Eliyahu of Izmir (1640 -1729) was a leading Rav of Izmir, Turkey. He authored over 30 different tremendous sefarim including Shevet Mussar, that are learned all over. In his sefer Chut shel Hessed on Parashat HaAzinu, he discusses the Piyut that we mentioned previously, that we say on Rosh Hashanah. The last stanza says, " Piyut הִשְׁתּוֹנֵן, וְהִכּוֹנֵן, וְהִתְבּוֹנֵן בְּסוֹדֶךָ. וְהִבַּטְתָּ, מָה אַתָּה, וּמֵאַיִן יְסוֹדֶךָ. וּמִי הֱכִינְךָ, וּמִי הֱבִינְךָ, / Sharpen yourself and prepare yourself. Look into your secrets. What does it mean to Look into your secrets? He says, the secret refers to the fact of my humble beginnings- What am I made of ? Dust. Further, after we say, וְהִתְבּוֹנֵן בְּסוֹדֶךָ we also say, What are you Ma Atah /What are you? Like Moshe and Aharon said to Korach (Shemot 16,7) Where are your roots? So it starts off, I'm humble and I'm nothing. Well, if that's the case, if I'm humble and I'm nothing, then what is the purpose of my Mitzvot? Can a mosquito impact the king? Then we say, no, slow down מי הכינך Who set you up for this? Hashem set you up for greatness. מי הבינך Who gave you understanding ? And מי ינידך , what's making you move ? You have a soul inside of you, a Neshama, a spirituality inside of you. Realize where you came from. He quotes the sefer Bet HaElohim that says that there's a danger in thinking of yourself as the lowest of low, because you'll end up saying Hashem doesn't supervise me, He doesn't look at me . But then you can go to the other extreme and say, I'm arrogant. Mi Hashem Who is God? It's a constant balance on this tightrope, not to get stuck with being broken because I'm a nobody, and not to be arrogant. It's like the Shfeel Hazahav/ the golden path. Rav Wolbe, in Alei Shur vol 2 page 160 quotes the Hovot Halevavot in Shaar Hakniah, which is dedicated to humility. In the second chapter, he says, הכניעה היא אשר תהיה אחר רוממות הנפש והתנשאה מהשתתף עם הבהמות במידותן המגונות, וגבהותה מהידמות במידות / Humilty comes after you realize the exaltedness of your soul and that it's being uplifted. I'm not a partners with an animal in their low Middot. It comes when you realize how wise you are and how dear is your soul. You know about all the good Middot. כאשר תהיה סמוך לזה כניעת הנפש ושפלותה, אז תהיה מידה משובחת , And then then when I add a little spice of humility in there, then the humility is a good Middah. אבל זולת זה איננה נכנסת במידות המשובחות ומעלות הנפש, אך במגונות שבהן, כי ענינה בזה כענין הבהמות But if it's humility that's not coming from that, it's not considered good quality. It's just despair. It's not, humility. That's just the animal that doesn't have any recognition of what it is at all. As Chacham Bentzion said, You can feel great in who you are, and then you add that little flavor of, All those qualities I have, I got from Hashem . Like we stated at the beginning- Look at this beautiful car that I have. I have a stretch Rolls Royce. Wow, what a car. But you know what? My father gave it to me. So I'll now humble myself to my father for all that he gave me. It's not a contradiction. As long as you have that right attitude of, What I have is great, but it was given to me. And more than that, I have a responsibility to use it properly, that is the proper hashkafa / attitude , not to be brought down with this work on our humility. Further in that same discussion, Rav Wolbe quotes Rabbenu Yonah in Shaare Avodah where he says the first step to serving Hashem is that man knows his value, realizes his level, realizes who his parents and his grandparents are, how hashuv they were and where he came from- And say to yourself , Adam Gadol V'Chashuv Kamoni , something that's important like me today, with all the great qualities I have, I am the children of the greats, of the kings of old, how can I sin? So Rav Wolbe is teaching is that learning your good qualities is not a contradiction to humility. We have to make sure we have that proper outlook when we're working on humility.

Welcome to our special Shovavim mini-series, on the topic of humility . If you ask people what the purpose of Yetziat Mitzrayim was, you'd probably get a few different answers. Most people would say that it was a Gezera /decree. God told Abraham at Brit Ben HaBetarim that we'd be in Galut . What was the reason? Was it due to a sin? The Abarbanel in Bereshit chapter 15 tells us in the name of the Ran that this Galut was not due to any sin. Rather, it was in order to humble the hearts of the Jewish people so that they should be fit to receive the Torah, or what we call, Yisurim shelAhava/ suffering that Hashem gives, not as a punishment but out of love, to make us better. The Chida, in his sefer Chomat Anach , Chapter 54, pasuk 11, he says that since the Torah is a spiritual existence, it can't be held by a person who has improper thoughts, namely arrogance . So the purpose of Galut Mitzrayim was to break that arrogance, in order to allow them to receive the Torah. The Chida, in his sefer Yosef Tehilot on Tehilim 119,72 offers an additional nuance. He asks, Why are we in exile so long? What did we do that was terrible ? He answers that the Torah we have today is like hot air compared to the Torah that's going come in the time of Mashiach, which will reveal all the secrets. And in order to be a receptacle for that high level of Torah that we're going to receive in Mashiach's time, we need to have extreme humility that can only to come through a long and difficult exile. This is a whole different way of looking at what we're going through. It's not that Hashem is just beating us up for no reason. No. He's purifying us. And the purification is specifically in the area of humility. When things don't go right, when things are difficult, man becomes humble and realizes he's not in control. The Bnei Yisaschar, in his essays on Nissan (essay 9) quotes this Chida, and says that this is the meaning of the pasuk in Shemot 1,11: וַיָּשִׂ֤ימוּ עָלָיו֙ שָׂרֵ֣י מִסִּ֔ים לְמַ֥עַן עַנֹּת֖וֹ בְּסִבְלֹתָ֑ם וַיִּ֜בֶן עָרֵ֤י מִסְכְּנוֹת֙ לְפַרְעֹ֔ה אֶת־פִּתֹ֖ם וְאֶת־רַעַמְסֵֽס׃ Paroah put taskmasters on the Jewish people to humble them. The purpose of Galut Mitzrayim was to humble them, to get them ready to receive the Torah. It says in Shemot 3,12, that Hashem told Moshe, בְּהוֹצִֽיאֲךָ֤ אֶת־הָעָם֙ מִמִּצְרַ֔יִם תַּֽעַבְדוּן֙ אֶת־הָ֣אֱלֹהִ֔ים עַ֖ל הָהָ֥ר הַזֶּֽה / Take them out of Egypt. You will serve Hashem on this mountain.. So the there's a goal here. It's not just for no reason. The Bnei Yisaschar gives a beautiful Mashal- If, lo Alenu, someone is sick, the doctor gives him all kinds of difficult medicines and treatments and he suffers through it. But at the end, when he is totally healed, and he sees how this difficult treatment cleansed him and purified him, he hugs and kisses his doctor for bringing him the Yeshua /salvation by healing him. That's the way we're going to look back at all the things that happened to us in Galut . We'll see how it purified us. The Bnei Yisaschar, in essay 12 on Nissan, says that's why every single year between Pesach and Shavuot , we have Sefirat HaOmer , a time to work on our Middot , specifically being humble . The students of Rabbi Akiva did not respect each other. So every year we reaccept and recommit ourselves to the to Torah, and go through that purification process to get rid of our arrogance. And now for the real clincher, which now seems so obvious and simple: The Kli Yakar in Vayikra 6,9 says that the whole Pesach is all about staying away from hametz , which rises. Hametz symbolizes arrogance , whereas Matzah is Lechem Oni , לחם עני The bread of affliction , And as we said, Oni , has the same as the root as the word Anava ענוה . So the goal of the days of Pesach is to eliminate every drop of arrogance; hametz, is completely forbidden, even a drop. Rambam says that for all Middot, we are supposed to take the middle road, except when it comes to arrogance, as it says in Pirkei Avot 4- מאד מאד be extremely humble. So since the whole purpose of Galut Mitzrayim was to humble ourselves, come out humble people and eradicate our arrogance, it's no wonder that the whole theme of Pesach is all about getting rid of the hametz and humbling ourselves. It's black on white. Of course the purpose of Galut Mitzrayim was to humble ourselves, and to eventually get ourselves to have a heart that's pure, with proper Middot and get ready to receive the Torah, whether at the original Yetziat Mitzrayim, or every single year. One final point from that Bnei Yisaschar on Nissan: it says we count 49 days which is numerical value of לב טוב . So we are going to get ourselves a good heart . And a good heart is a humble heart. As it says in Tehilim 5 1,19 זִ֥בְחֵ֣י אֱלֹהִים֮ ר֤וּחַ נִשְׁבָּ֫רָ֥ה לֵב־נִשְׁבָּ֥ר וְנִדְכֶּ֑ה אֱ֝לֹהִ֗ים לֹ֣א תִבְזֶֽה׃ The sacrifices of God is broken spirit, a broken heart, a humbled heart, God does not despise. The best heart is the broken heart. As the famous Kotzker Rebbe once said, there is nothing more whole than a broken heart.

Being humble is one of the things I think that many of us struggle with as its not something that is taught a lot. Not only that, its hard because often when we are walking in humility we find ourselves being taken advantage of which hardens our hearts. Today on the You, Me & Jesus Podcast we are going to talk about what humility is vs what it is not.  I f you felt empowered by this episode, take a screenshot for your stories and tag Keenya on Instagram @keenyakelly. I would be honored to hear your takeaways and re-post your share!Important Links from the showUnderstanding your spiritual gifts is definitely one of the foundational things that every single Christian needs to know. If you'd like a quick and free spiritual quiz assessment to understand why and how God gifted you what you have in life click here https://keenyakelly.com/ministry/!Subscribe to our new YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@youmeandjesusConnect with Keenya on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/keenyakelly/Connect with Keenya on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@keenyakellyConnect with Keenya on Twitter: https://twitter.com/keenyakellyFor more information on courses and resources: https://keenyakelly.com/Are you building a business and you want to know what God is saying to you about your business? Looking for strategy on what to do next with your business or market your business in a way that's Christ focused? Click the following link to book a creative consulting session to get a strategy together for your business that is faith focused: https://keenyakelly.com/creativeconsulting/

Today, I want to focus on the role of the pastor in all of this. What a big job! Welcome to Run With Horses! My name is Norman and my goal is to help you thrive as a follower of Jesus.

Write me at norman@runwithhorses.net. And now, on with the show... ***(27:00) ***END***(23:00)**** Habits – Personal Humility and Teachability • Habit: Maintain a posture of humility, being teachable and open to correction and growth. • Biblical Basis: "Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will lift you up." (James 4:10) Philippians 2:5 Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus, 6 who, being in the form of God, did not consider it robbery to be equal with God, 7 but made Himself of no reputation, taking the form of a bondservant, and coming in the likeness of men. 8 And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself and became obedient to the point of death, even the death of the cross. • Why It's Important: Pride can hinder spiritual growth and effectiveness in discipling others. Humility allows the disciple maker to continue growing and learning. Prides keeps you at the center, Humilty helps keep Jesus at the center. ***(23:00)***END***(0:00) Shepherding and equipping a church for ministry requires a lot from a pastor. 1. **Spiritual Leadership** - **Biblical Knowledge****Prayer Life****Discernment** 2. **Preaching and Teaching** - **Effective Communication****Teaching Skills** 3. **Relational Skills** - **Empathy and Compassion****Conflict Resolution****Mentoring and Discipleship** 4. **Leadership and Vision Casting** - **Visionary Leadership****Decision-Making and Strategy****Delegation** 5. **Equipping and Empowering** - **Recognizing Gifts in Others****Training and Development****Empowerment – give authority away to others** 6. **Administration and Organization** - **Organizational Skills****Team Building****Budgeting and Stewardship** 7. **Emotional Intelligence** - **Self-Awareness****Ability to read the room****Resilience** 8. **Counseling and Pastoral Care** - **Counseling Skills****Crisis Management** 9. **Cultural Awareness and Engagement** - **Cultural Sensitivity**: Churches are often diverse in terms of culture, background, and socioeconomic status. A pastor must be culturally aware and sensitive, able to foster an inclusive environment where everyone feels welcome. - **Community Engagement**: Pastors should have a heart for the local community and a strategy for how the church can serve outside its walls. Engaging with local needs and being a visible presence in the community helps fulfill the church's mission. 10. **Adaptability and Lifelong Learning** - **Adaptability**: The church and broader culture are always changing. Pastors must be flexible, able to adapt their leadership and ministry approaches to meet new challenges, such as changes in technology, social issues, or generational shifts. - **Continual Growth**: Great pastors are lifelong learners, committed to their own spiritual, intellectual, and professional growth. Attending conferences, pursuing theological education, or engaging with mentors helps pastors stay sharp and effective in their ministry. 11. **Personal Integrity and Character** - **Moral Integrity**: Above all, pastors need to model Christlike character, demonstrating integrity, humility, and faithfulness in their personal and professional lives. Trust is central to leadership, and integrity is foundational to building that trust. - **Servant-Heartedness**: Pastors should approach their leadership role with humility and a desire to serve others, following the example of Christ, who came not to be served but to serve (Matthew 20:28). By developing these skills, a pastor can effectively shepherd the congregation, equip members for ministry, and create a thriving, Christ-centered church community. Balancing the various responsibilities of a pastor—such as sermon preparation, counseling, small groups, leadership, and training — requires intentional time management and prioritization. Here's a strategy to help a pastor manage these tasks effectively: 1. **Set Priorities and Define Time Blocks** - **Sermon Preparation:** This is typically the pastor's core weekly responsibility, so allocate large, uninterrupted blocks of time. Many pastors reserve the best mental energy times, such as mornings, for sermon prep. A typical week might include: - **Monday**: Initial study and prayer for the sermon. - **Tuesday/Wednesday**: Deep study, outlining, and drafting. - **Thursday**: Finalizing and practicing delivery. - **Counseling:** Set dedicated times during the week for counseling appointments. For instance, 1-2 afternoons can be reserved for pastoral care and counseling. - **Small Groups and Discipleship:** These typically occur in the evening. You can limit these to a few nights per week (e.g., Tuesday and Thursday) and delegate or raise up other leaders to assist in leading groups. - **Leadership and Training:** Set aside time for leadership development, meetings, or training sessions. This can be scheduled weekly or bi-weekly, depending on the need. For example, leadership meetings could be set for Monday or Wednesday afternoons, before or after sermon prep. 2. **Delegate Where Possible** Pastors often feel they need to do everything themselves, but delegating is key to maintaining balance. Assign trusted team members or volunteers to lead certain small groups, handle administrative tasks, or even assist in some counseling roles. ***(00:00)*** END PART 1*** ___________________ ***(27:00) ***BEGIN PART 2 ***END ***(5:00)*** 3. **Utilize Early Mornings or Evenings for Training and Leadership** If training leaders or discipling key individuals is a priority, use early mornings for small leadership huddles or evenings if that works better for the participants. Short, focused meetings (e.g., breakfast meetings) can maximize time without disrupting the rest of the day. 4. **Batch Similar Tasks** Instead of switching between different types of work throughout the day, batch similar tasks together. For instance, group all counseling appointments on specific days and leave other days for sermon prep and leadership training. This minimizes transition time and helps you stay mentally focused on one type of task at a time. 5. **Personal Development Time** Block time each week for your own spiritual and professional growth. Without this, it can be easy to burn out. This might include personal Bible study, prayer, or reading to stay refreshed. 6. **Protect Your Sabbath** Schedule a clear day of rest each week to recharge. It's important for pastors to guard their time for personal renewal, family, and spiritual refreshment. ### Example Typical Weekly Schedule:### Where is the rest? - **Monday:** - Morning: Sermon prep (Initial study, prayer, and research) - Afternoon: Counseling and administrative tasks - Evening: Rest/Family time - **Tuesday:** - Morning: Sermon prep (Deep study and outlining) - Afternoon: Counseling appointments - Evening: Small group meeting or discipleship group - **Wednesday:** - Morning: Sermon prep (Writing and structuring) - Afternoon: Leadership team meeting or training session - Evening: Midweek service or discipleship training - **Thursday:** - Morning: Sermon prep (Finalization and practice) - Afternoon: Free for flexible needs or meetings - Evening: Small group meeting or discipleship - **Friday:** - Morning: Personal study and prayer (Sabbath/Rest day) - Afternoon: Counseling or visiting members - Evening: Rest/Family time - **Saturday:** - Morning: Free for sermon review or final prep - Afternoon: Outreach, ministry, or personal rest - Evening: Rest - **Sunday:** - Preaching and ministry day ## My Thoughts on a Weeks Schedule Sunday AM Message – Theology of the week – Main theme for the body to focus on this week. Sunday PM – small group ministry, each group asks specific questions about the application of the morning theme and discusses personal application and questions. Feedback for the pastor should come from these groups, what wasn't understood or agreed with? Midweek small groups – prayer focused on living out the mission of Jesus, who are we reaching out to now, how are we doing in living out the Sunday Am message. How can we pray for each other and answer questions that come up as we make real attempts to be followers of Jesus. SS AM before next Message and new theme – final thoughts on the theme from last week, questions about application, encouragement to continue applying this truth to their lives For the pastor, First thing on the schedule is Personal pursuit of Jesus. Second is time with men he is equipping for ministry. Ideally every pastor would always have 2-3 men he is training. Give them your best time and meet when they are available. As men are trained and able to come alongside in ministry time is freed up for the pastor to train others. I put prep for these men above sermon prep. Third, prep for weekly theme. Ideally these consistently builds and are related so you aren't starting from zero, ever. The focus should be practical truths that, when applied in the life of the believer, lead them closer to Jesus and His mission. Fourth, general ministry activities and life of the church tasks. Delegate as many of these as possible. You serve the church body best not by doing everything for them but by helping them see that they are the church and it is their responsibility to be the church. ****(5:00) ***END***( 1:00)*** DOCTRINE October – Bible Authority of the Bible Inerrancy of the Bible Sufficiency of the Bible Necessity of the Bible Necessity: Related to sufficiency, but slightly different, this doctrine holds that “the Bible is necessary for knowing the gospel, for maintaining spiritual life, and for knowing God's will, but is NOT necessary for knowing that God exists or for knowing something about God's character and moral laws” (Grudem, Systematic Theology, 116). This gets at the difference between special and general revelation. Scripture alone provides special revelation: knowledge of God's will and salvation Rom. 10:13–17 – 13 For “whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.” Israel Rejects the Gospel 14 How then shall they call on Him in whom they have not believed? And how shall they believe in Him of whom they have not heard? And how shall they hear without a preacher? 15 And how shall they preach unless they are sent? As it is written: “How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the gospel of peace, Who bring glad tidings of good things!” 16 But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Isaiah says, “Lord, who has believed our report?” 17 So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. 18 But I say, have they not heard? Yes indeed: “Their sound has gone out to all the earth, And their words to the ends of the world.” Acts 4:12 – 12 Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.” **(1:00)**END**(00:00) Thanks for joining me again today!

I'm so glad you've joined me at the intersection of faith and true crime here at The Unlovely Truth. Does your church or ministry struggle with physical, emotional, or spiritual safety issues? I'm your host, church safety advocate Lori Morrison and I'm so glad you've joined me today. Our churches need to be the safest places in our communities, so our mission on this podcast is to find actionable steps to improve every aspect of safety in our houses of worship and beyond. We're going to do that by investigating The Unlovley Truth about real crime news stories happening in real churches. I've got new cases to investigate together, so let's dive right in.    Big Questions from this episode include:   What kind of abuser is worse - a priest who sexually abused children, or the priests who knew, and did nothing? Why are more than 500 people asking Father Barry Stechschulte of St. Susanna Church in Mason, Ohio to resign? Labor trafficking doesn't happen in faith communities…does it?   James 4:17 NLT   Remember, it is sin to know what you ought to do and then not do it. Avoiding doing evil is obviously a very good thing. But James takes things a step further here. He says very clearly that avoiding doing good is a very bad thing. Those are some pretty tough words, but all of us who are believers need to take them to heart!    In one sense, the book of James is a call to action. He tells us to be doers of the word and not just hearers (James 1:22). James also says that we should take action to meet people's needs (James 2:16) as well as being sure to humble ourselves (James 4:10).   This may upset some of you, but I have to say that I think that our churches, and of course that includes the people in them, need a healthy dose of humility. Pride can keep us from recognizing problems and taking steps to fix them. Let's not ever get so protective of the reputation of our church that we protect it at the expense of the safety of our people.    Let me know what you think of this episode!

In this episode, Jenn Lozano and board member Ann Stevens explore the art of listening in an Unbound session or simply to a friend or someone in need.Ann describes three overall ways one can respond when listening to hard things shared. Responses of fear or pride may be human responses, but God will give us grace to respond in humility, extending compassion to the individual receiving prayer. Join them as Ann shares the importance of taking personal time prior to an Unbound ministry session to seek the Lord and meditate, even briefly, on a passage from Matthew 7. She reminds us about the depth and unlimited nature of God's forgiveness.There is the “small story,” and the “big story.” The small story being the details of a prayer recipient's account and the big story of God's power forgiveness and the ability to move into the bigger place of what God is doing.Ann speaks about the importance of staying present in the moment and being aware of one's own body language so the recipient feels heard.The idea of redirecting within an Unbound session is discussed, with Jenn giving an example of a time when she was leading and a recipient withdrew because they felt unheard in the moment. Listening is an art and tips are provided to be compassionate without getting stuck rehashing the hard things someone has been through. Ann shares a personal example of a time that she received compassion during a therapy session and describes how the empathy shown by the therapist helped her feel heard in the moment. The biblical account of the disciples on the road to Emmaus is explored, showing how Jesus came alongside the disciples and, after listening to their story, helped draw them out of their small story into the bigger picture of what God was doing. Ann concludes with the reminder that as we remember God's unlimited compassion and mercy for each of us personally, we can through the Holy Spirit not judge and can help a prayer recipient step into recognizing God's big story.

"With what shall I come before the LORD, and bow myself before God on high? Shall I come before him with burnt offerings, with calves a year old? Will the LORD be pleased with thousands of rams, with ten thousands of rivers of oil? Shall I give my firstborn for my transgression, the fruit of my body for the sin of my soul?" He has told you, O man, what is good; and what does the LORD require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God? - Mic 6:6-8 ESV--Today's episode is brought to you by our faithful patron team, who have chosen to help financially support this show monthly.

Welcome to your weekly dose of The Psychedelic Psychologist. This session we connect with Matthew who dives deep into his relationship to medicine and the reverence he has for the work he is doing to heal; and further pass the word on about psychedelics. During our time Matthew talks about how he has been "called" to do much of both his professional work as a "psychedelic lawyer" and the personal work looking for guidance with the medicine. He describes the importance of respecting the medicine in the hopes to accept the healing opportunities they can provide. He is articulate in the importance of intention and allowing it to be work on just as much as any session. If you are looking for psychedelic integration support, please checkout:The Psychedelics Integration Handbookhealingsoulsllc.com

Humilty - Pastor Brad Howard

Receiving and treasuring wisdom will lead God's people into a healthy fear of the Lord and an intimate knowledge of God. This receiving and treasuring wisdom are gifts of grace, flowing from the disciplines of Listening to God with Humilty, Praying to God with Expectancy, and Pursuing God with Intentionality. When God's people celebrate their rescue and cultivate their relationship with Him by clinging to Jesus, supernatural wisdom will naturally flow from their new hearts into their everyday lives.

This Sunday, Zach delivers a powerful message about the crucifixion of Christ (4/3/22).
