Series: God's Promises, Our JourneyTitle: "What are the key ingredients to the life God calls us to live?"Scripture: Genesis 14:1-24 NIVHebrews 7Bottom line: When we rest in what God said, we walk in his key ingredients of righteousness, peace & blessing that we might be a blessing to the nations as he created us to be.God reveals himself as our rescuing King and eternal Priest and calls us to wholehearted allegiance.INTRODUCTIONCONTEXTSERMON OUTLINECONCLUSIONNOTESOUTLINESQUESTIONS TO CONSIDER DISCUSSION QUESTIONSMAIN REFERENCES USEDMy opening prayer: Lord God, help us grow to be and do like Jesus, while abiding in him and leading others to do the same. INTRODUCTIONFree the Hostages"ON JUNE 27, 1976, armed operatives for the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) surprised the twelve crew members of an Air France jetliner and its ninety-one passengers, hijacking it to a destination unknown.The plane was tracked heading for Central Africa, where indeed it did land under the congenial auspices of then Ugandan President Idi Amin. And there it remained apparently secure at Entebbe Airport, where the hijackers spent the next seven days preparing for their next move. The hijackers were by all estimations in the driver's seat.However, 2,500 miles away in Tel Aviv three Israeli C-130 Hercules transports were secretly boarded by a deadly force of Israeli commandos who within hours attacked Entebbe under cover of darkness. In less than sixty minutes the commandos rushed the old terminal, gunned down the hijackers, and rescued 110 of the 113 hostages. A few days later, July 4, Israel's Premier Yitzhak Rabin triumphantly declared the mission "will become a legend"—which it surely has.' Israel's resolve and stealth in liberating her people is admired by her friends and begrudged by her enemies.Actually, Israel's resolve is nothing new because the same quality can be traced all the way back to the very beginning of the Hebrew nation in the prowess of their father Abraham. The kidnappers in his day (the Middle Bronze Age) were an international coalition of four eastern kings headed by King Chedorlaomer who attacked the Transjordan, defeating the city states of Sodom and her neighbors, carrying off a large number of hostages That included Abram's nephew Lot." -Hughes, p. 213CONTEXTWe've gone from Promises of blessings to failure to rest in those promises to returning to the original promise keeper through repentance and faith.Abram went down to Egypt but returned to between "House of Bread" and "Ruin". It is here he and Lot part ways. He watches Lot choose what he thinks is best for him and yet outside of God's promised land. No doubt he knows this. He just doesn't believe it or realize it.Genesis 13 contrasts Abram's faith-shaped restraint with Lot's sight-driven ambition—and places both under the canopy of God's covenant faithfulness.In Genesis 14 we see the first recorded battle in scripture. We meet Melchizedek, and we see Abram draw encouragement from Melchizedek and rest in what God has said.There's a powerful lesson for us here.SERMONReview from Genesis 12:1-3:God Is the Initiator of RedemptionGod Calls His People to Trust Him Before They Understand HimGod's Blessing Is Never Merely Personal—It Is MissionalGod Promises to Anchor His People in Uncertain Times & PlacesGod's People Respond with Obedience, Worship, and WitnessBottom line: When we rest in what God said, we walk in his key ingredients of righteousness, peace & blessing that we might be a blessing to the nations as he created us to be.Outline (help from Outline Bible):I. THE COURAGE OF ABRAM (14:1-16)A. The villains (14:1-11)The rebellion (14:1-4): Five Canaanite city-states rebel against Kedorlaomer of Elam.The retaliation (14:5-11): Kedorlaomer and his allies defeat the armies of the five city-states, plunder their cities, and carry many people away as slaves. B. The victim (14:12): Lot, now living in Sodom, is taken away as a slave.C. The victory (14:13-16)Abram's army (14:13-14): Upon learning of Lot's capture, Abram and his 318 trained servants ride out to rescue Lot.Abram's attack (14:15): Abram divides his men and initiates a surprise attack at night.Abram's achievements (14:16): Kedorlaomer is defeated, and Lot is rescued. II. THE COMMUNION OF ABRAM (14:17-24)A. The godly and priestly king of Salem (14:17-20): As he is returning from battle to his home in Hebron, Abram meets Melchize-dek, who blesses him. Abram offers him a tenth of all the goods he has recovered from Kedorlaomer.B. The godless and perverted king of Sodom (14:21-24): In stark contrast, Abram refuses to have any fellowship with Bera, king of wicked Sodom.My notes on Gen 14:This sermon is sort of a part 2 to last week. Abram rescues Lot and co.--people, possessions and all. And he's met by two kings upon his return: Melchizedek and the King of Sodom. (Name?) Sodom's king can only see that his losses are back and he can get back at least some of them, thanks to Abram, who rightly deserves the spoils of war. He is consumed by what he can see. So he asks for some of it back, though he deserves none of it. Melchizedek, however, is a mystery. He is there for Abram at a moment when he's tempted to also get seduced by what he can see. But he finds in Mel a kindred spirit of sorts. Actually, he finds a type of Christ. This type of Christ behaves very much like Christ. He blesses Abram in the name of El Elyon and praises El Elyon for what he did. He honors the greater even as he blesses the lessor. He also blesses Abram and his men with bread and wine. Could this be a whisper to a future Last Supper?Lot, fresh off his rescue, could easily be taking all of this in. He's no doubt glad to be alive. He is thinking of all his losses. He believes that Abram will restore his fortunes. He's focused on what he lost...what he could see and some of it he can still see. We know this because he follows the king of Sodom back to the city. He doesn't rest in what God has said. He's now further from that than he's ever been. Abram, inspired by another person who knows El Elyon, rests in the promises of God and eludes the temptation to dwell on what he can see. He tithes 10% of it to Mel, tells Sodom to give his allies their portion for helping, and surrenders the rest back to Sodom, with the possible invitation for any of the rescued people to join him in his growing clan. It appears none take him up on it.We're back to the contrast between Abram and Lot; a promise of God and a pile of possessions. Abram chooses well, helped by a mysterious king of righteousness, king of peace and priest of a different priesthood. This mysterious priest shows up right when Abram needs him. He leads with generous gifts followed by blessings to Abram and adoration to El Elyon. This is where we are as well. But we don't have a type of Christ showing up to help us right when we need him. We have Christ himself. And he showed up on a Roman cross and shows up for us every day at the right hand of the Father interceding for us in our need. So the next time you're tempted, like I have been for over a week, to feel sorry for yourself, remember that it only would have been worse if he'd not been praying for you.Chat GPT notes:Abram rescues Lot. (Temp salvation)Abram meets a Priest-King. (Melchizedek appears)Abram worships through giving. (Recognizes divine favor and responds)Abram refuses King of Sodom. (Allegiance clarified)Jesus is the better Melchizedek:Ultimate rescueEternal priesthoodCalls for total allegianceClosing illustrationHow many of you heard/saw last week's message? I've never gotten so much positive feedback on a message in my life. It's just like God to take someone battling the temptation to have his own pity party to do something like that. God is faithful.What's sad is that there were people online and on-site who heard the message last week and yet didn't get a thing out of it. Nothing. Nada. Zilch. How can that be? Life-changine for one--Apathetic sigh for the other. Who's that on?Abram and Lot were a part of the same war and rescue. But one of them turned away from what God said and went back to the wicked city that was defeated just days before. Like a dog returning to his vomit.The other turned towards the God of promise: El Elyon. The God Most High. No, not high on a joint--high on his holy hill; holy throne; in his holy temple.What about you?CONCLUSIONBottom line: When we rest in what God said, we walk in his key ingredients of righteousness, peace & blessing that we might be a blessing to the nations as he created us to be."Abram rescued Lot from four kings.Jesus rescues us from sin and death.Abram met a priest who blessed him.We have a Priest who intercedes forever.Abram gave a tenth.We give our whole lives.Abram refused Sodom's reward.We refuse a kingdom that is passing away.Because our King is also our Priest." -ChatGPTINVITATIONPeter puts it all in perspective in his first sermon:““Therefore let all Israel be assured of this: God has made this Jesus, whom you crucified, both Lord and Messiah.” When the people heard this, they were cut to the heart and said to Peter and the other apostles, “Brothers, what shall we do?” Peter replied, “Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. The promise is for you and your children and for all who are far off—for all whom the Lord our God will call.”” ‭‭Acts‬ ‭2‬:‭36‬-‭39‬ ‭NIV‬‬How do we respond? Answer 2 questions:Take out a card or piece of paper right now. Write down the answer to these questions: What is God saying to me right now?What am I going to do about it? Write this down on a sheet of paper.

You don't have to get too specific to give him praise.Lord's Supper, 1 Cor 11:23-26 is good passage.Also, say something like, "Christ has died, Christ is risen, Christ will come again." (past, present, and future)PrayNOTESThis is an important theological distinction—especially as you preach through Genesis and encounter figures like Melchizedek in Genesis 14.Let me define the categories carefully and then contrast them.1️⃣ What Is aType of Christ?A type (Greek: typos) is a historical person, event, or institution intentionally designed by God to foreshadow Christ.It is:Real historySymbolically patternedForward-pointingIncomplete without ChristThe type is not Jesus Himself.It is a divinely embedded preview.Key Characteristics of a TypeHistorical realityEscalation or fulfillment in ChristOften clarified by later ScriptureAnalogical, not identicalBiblical ExamplesAdamPaul explicitly calls Adam a “type” of Christ (Romans 5:14).Adam = representative head → Christ = greater representative head.MelchizedekHebrews 7 presents Melchizedek as a type:King of righteousnessKing of peacePriest of God Most HighWithout recorded genealogyBut Hebrews never says Melchizedek was Christ — he was “made like” the Son of God (Heb 7:3).JosephRejected brother → exalted savior → forgives those who wronged him.A clear Christ-pattern.Definition:A type of Christ is a God-ordained historical shadow that finds its ultimate fulfillment in Jesus.2️⃣ What Is aPre-Incarnate Christ (Christophany)?A Christophany is an actual appearance of the Son of God before the incarnation.It is:A real manifestationPersonal and divineNot symbolicThe second Person of the Trinity appearing visiblyThis is not foreshadowing — this is presence.Classic Christophany TextsAngel of the LORDIn several passages:Speaks as GodReceives worshipForgives sinIdentifies Himself as YahwehExamples:Genesis 16 (Hagar)Genesis 22 (Abraham and Isaac)Exodus 3 (burning bush)Judges 13 (Manoah)Many evangelical theologians conclude this is the pre-incarnate Son.The “Commander of the Lord's Army” (Joshua 5)Accepts worship. Identifies ground as holy.Definition:A Christophany is a real, pre-incarnate appearance of the eternal Son of God.3️⃣ The Core DifferencesType of ChristChristophanySymbolic foreshadowingActual divine appearanceHuman or eventDivine manifestationPoints forward to ChristIs ChristIncompleteFully divine presenceAnalogical resemblanceOntological identity4️⃣ The Melchizedek Question (Critical for Your Genesis 14 Preaching)Some argue Melchizedek was a Christophany.But Hebrews 7 does not say he was the Son of God — it says:“He is made like the Son of God.”That language supports typology, not incarnation.Hebrews is arguing:Jesus is not in the order of Aaron.He is in the order of Melchizedek.Melchizedek prefigures Christ's eternal priesthood.If Melchizedek were literally Christ, the argument collapses.You can't be “in the order of” yourself.So for Genesis 14:Melchizedek is best understood as a type.The Angel of the LORD passages are stronger candidates for Christophany.OUTLINESSECTION OUTLINE SEVEN (HEBREWS 7) The author identifies and equates the priesthood of Jesus with that of Melchizedek. I. A HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE (7:1-3) A. The person of Melchizedek (7:1 a, 2b-3)Who he was (7:2b): His name means "king of justice," and he was also the "king of peace."What he did (7:1a): He was both priest and king over the city of Salem.Where he came from (7:3): There is no record of either his birth or his death. B. The preeminence of Melchizedek (7:1b-2a)B. The preeminence of Melchizedek (7:1 b-2a)The battle (7:2a): Following the defeat of his enemies, Abraham met Melchizedek and paid tithes to him.The blessing (7:1 b): Melchizedek blessed Abraham.II. A THEOLOGICAL PERSPECTIVE (7:4-28): The author lists the various characteristics of Jesus, who, according to the Father's decree, is to be a priest after the order of Melchizedek (see Ps. 110:4). Thus, his priesthood would be: A. Royal (as was that of Melchizedek) (see 7:1) B. Superior (7:4-10)To whom? (7:5-7): To Levi, founder of the levitical priesthood.Why? (7:4, 8-10)a. Abraham was the ancestor of Levi (7:9). b. The yet unborn Levi thus tithed to Melchizedek while still in the loins of Abraham (7:4, 8, 10). C. Independent (7:11-15)Independent of the law (7:11-12).Independent of the tribe of Levi (7: 13-15): Christ came from the tribe of Judah. D. Everlasting (7:16-17) E. Guaranteed (7:20-22): The Father himself took an oath concerning this. F. Continuous (7:23) G. Permanent (7:24) H. Holy (7:26) I. All-sufficient (7:18-19, 25, 27) J.

But the real battle isn't fought with swords—it's fought in the heart. Upon returning victorious, Abram is met by two kings and faced with two radically different offers. One tempts him with visible reward and fleeting gain. The other blesses him in the name of El Elyon—God Most High.This mysterious priest-king, Melchizedek, brings bread and wine, speaks blessing, and points Abram back to the promises of God. Hebrews 7 later reveals that Melchizedek is not just a historical figure—but a powerful signpost pointing forward to Jesus Christ, our eternal King and Priest.In this message, we explore:Why resting in what God has said is essential to faithful livingHow righteousness, peace, and blessing flow from wholehearted allegiance to GodThe contrast between living by sight (Lot) and living by faith (Abram)Why Jesus is the better Melchizedek—our ultimate rescuer and eternal intercessorBottom Line:When we rest in what God has said, we walk in His key ingredients—righteousness, peace, and blessing—so that we might be a blessing to the nations, just as He created us to be.If you're feeling torn between what you can see and what God has promised, this message invites you to lift your eyes—and your allegiance—to the King who is also our Priest.

In dieser Episode ist Christoph Eichhorn, Trainer beim SC Rheinbach 1913 e.V. und Initiator der Pilot-Liga „Twin Games“ im Fußballkreis Bonn, zu Gast. Wir sprechen über ein innovatives Spielformat im Übergang vom Kinder- zum Jugendfußball – mit einem klaren Ziel: mehr Spielzeit für mehr Kinder. Ausgangspunkt war die große Lücke zwischen 5gg5 im Kinderfußball und dem 9gg9 in der U12. Mit den Twin Games wurde ein Zwischenschritt geschaffen: Zwei Spiele gleichzeitig auf zwei Feldern (5gg5, 6gg6 oder 7gg7), mit unbegrenzten Wechseln, kindgerechten Regeln und einer klaren Spielstruktur.

Unser heutiger Gast ist Kommunikationsexperte, Gründer, Hochschuldozent, Familienmensch und eine der lautesten Stimmen für eine neue Wirtschaft. Er hat an der Universität Hamburg Kommunikationswissenschaft, er war Journalist bei der BILD, und war später verantwortlich für PR und Kommunikation bei der Founders Foundation und der Tech-Konferenz Hinterland of Things. Heute führt er mit „The Trailblazers“ eine der meistdiskutierten Kommunikationsagenturen Deutschlands – gegründet in Bielefeld, unterwegs in ganz Europa. Er sieht sich selbst nicht als CEO, sondern als Initiator. Als jemand, der Räume öffnet, Geschichten freilegt, Wirkung möglich macht. Mit „Open Champion“ baut er gerade ein radikal kooperatives Company-Building-Modell auf, das sich der Zukunft von Energie, Kreislaufwirtschaft und Digitalisierung widmet. Parallel unterrichtet er an mehreren Hochschulen, wurde vom Business Punk auf die Top-Watchlist gesetzt und jetzt erscheint sein erstes Buch: „Propaganda for the good“, eine Analyse unserer Kommunikationsgesellschaft und ein Weckruf, die Macht der Narrative zurückzuerobern. Seit mehr als acht Jahren beschäftigen wir uns in diesem Podcast mit der Frage, wie Arbeit den Menschen stärkt, statt ihn zu schwächen. Wir haben in über 500 Episoden mit fast 700 Persönlichkeiten darüber gesprochen, was sich bereits verändert hat und was sich weiter ändern muss. Warum ist Kommunikation heute das eigentliche Betriebssystem für Wandel – und warum reicht es nicht mehr, einfach nur „ehrlich“ zu sein? Wie bringt man Wirkung, Haltung und wirtschaftlichen Erfolg unter ein Dach – ohne sich in PR-Floskeln zu verlieren? Und was hat es mit der These auf sich, dass Demokratie Propaganda braucht – so wie er sie in seinem Buch formuliert? Fest steht: Für die Lösung unserer aktuellen Herausforderungen brauchen wir neue Impulse. Wir suchen weiter nach Methoden, Vorbildern, Erfahrungen, Tools und Ideen, die uns dem Kern von New Work näher bringen. Darüber hinaus beschäftigt uns von Anfang an die Frage, ob wirklich alle Menschen das finden und leben können, was sie im Innersten wirklich wirklich wollen.

INTRODUCTIONWhen I was in high school, I was encouraged by my dad to go to a good college to get a good job. A noble endeavor, as I saw it.In college I chose an engineering degree that would provide for that vision.I was focusing on what I could see. I wasn't focused on what I could not see.When God called me into the ministry, he called me out of a career of engineering. I'd been practicing civil engineering as a consultant for five years, and had finally found my footing and was beginning to be productive in the eyes of the company. I finally felt like I belonged. God called me out of that into full-time ministry and I never really questioned the money piece. In other words by God's grace, I was able to look past the money to the Ministry that God was calling me too. I was able to walk by Faith instead of my sight.In this passage today, Genesis 13 we'll see a contrast between Abram and Lot. Lot will choose based on what he sees. Abram chooses based on the promises of God.When we trust in God's unshakable promises, we will release what we see, and rest in what he has said instead.What are some of those promises?God is ableGod hearsGod seesGod is with usGod caresGod satisfiesGod approvesThese are just some of the many promises throughout scripture that you and I have to bank on when we rest in him. Let's look at the life and the contrast of Abram and Lot and see how it plays out in chapter 13.CONTEXTWe've gone from Promises of blessings to failure to rest in those promises to returning to the original promise keeper through repentance and faith.Abram went down to Egypt but returned to between "House of Bread" and "Ruin".

As Alexander Maclaren put it:The less of our energies are consumed in asserting ourselves, and scrambling for our rights, and cutting in before other people, so as to get the best places for ourselves, the more we shall have to spare for better things; and the more we live in the future, and leave God to order our ways, the more shall our souls be wrapped in perfect peace.'" -Hughes, pp. 200-201INVITATIONPeter puts it all in perspective in his first sermon:““Therefore let all Israel be assured of this: God has made this Jesus, whom you crucified, both Lord and Messiah.” When the people heard this, they were cut to the heart and said to Peter and the other apostles, “Brothers, what shall we do?” Peter replied, “Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins.

(past, present, and future)PrayNOTESThe Apostle Paul talks about 3 kinds of people in the world somewhere in 1 Corinthians I think. Lost people, carnal Christians, and spiritual Christians. I think I read this in a Warren Wiersbe commentary pointing to Lot as a carnal Christian when considering 2 Peter 2:7-8. Does Paul say this?Short answer by ChatGPT:Yes, Paul does describe three kinds of people in 1 Corinthians 2–3 — but he does not present them as three permanent classes of Christians.He contrasts unbelievers with two conditions of believers.That distinction matters.Where Paul says this1 Corinthians 2:14–3:3 (flow of thought)Paul uses three Greek adjectives:ψυχικός (psychikos) — natural / unspiritualπνευματικός (pneumatikos) — spiritualσάρκινος / σαρκικός (sarkinos / sarkikos) — fleshly / carnalThese form the three categories you're remembering.The Three Types Explained1. Natural person — unbeliever (2:14)This person:does not receive the things of the Spiritconsiders them foolishlacks spiritual discernmentThis is clearly outside Christ.Paul is describing someone without the Spirit.So this one is not debated.2. Spiritual person — mature believer (2:15–16)This person:discerns spiritual realitieshas “the mind of Christ”is walking under the Spirit's influenceThis is what we might call:matureSpirit-ledgrowingresponsive to GodThis is Paul's goal for every believer.3. Fleshly / carnal believer — immature believer (3:1–3)This is the key text:Paul says to the Corinthians (paraphrasing):I could not speak to you as spiritual people, but as fleshly people, as infants in Christ… you are still fleshly… there is jealousy and strife among you.Notice carefully:He still calls them “in Christ.”So they are:savedbut immaturebehaving like unbelieversdominated by worldly patternsThis is not a third ontological class — it's stunted growth.So what is Paul actually teaching?Here's the most accurate way to state it:Not:❌ Three fixed types of peopleBut:✅ Two groups (unbelievers vs believers), with believers living in two possible conditions (spiritual or fleshly)In other words:CategorySpiritual StatusConditionNaturalUnregenerateCannot understandCarnalRegenerateImmature / worldlySpiritualRegenerateMature / Spirit-ledWhere Wiersbe and others get “three kinds of people”Teachers like Warren W. Wiersbe simplify Paul's language pedagogically.It's a teaching framework, not Paul's formal taxonomy.Helpful for preaching.But not meant as rigid categories.Your Lot connection (2 Peter 2:7–8)This is actually a good biblical illustration.Peter calls Lot:“righteous”yet compromiseddistressedliving foolishly in SodomSo:justified positionallybut practically worldlyThat fits the carnal/immature believer concept very well.So Wiersbe's use of Lot is pastorally reasonable.Theologically important clarificationSome traditions mistakenly build a doctrine like:“There are three kinds of Christians: saved, carnal, and spiritual.”Paul does not teach that.His point is corrective:“You should be spiritual by now — but you're acting fleshly.”It's rebuke, not classification.He expects growth.Bottom lineYes — Paul does describe:natural peoplefleshly believersspiritual believersBut he is describing spiritual maturity levels, not permanent types.The “carnal Christian” is:not a category to settle intobut a condition to repent from.If you want, we can next:look at the Greek terms more closelycompare with Romans 8 (flesh vs Spirit)or explore whether “carnal Christian” is the best phrase theologically (some scholars push back on that wording)or build a teaching/diagram you could use in a sermon or classWhere would you like to go deeper?OUTLINESQUESTIONS TO CONSIDERWhat do I want them to know?

Series: God's Promises, Our JourneyTitle: "Where do you go when you fail God?"Scripture: Genesis 12:10-13:04 NIV James 1:2-6Bottom line: When we fail God, we return to the place where we left his presence and start again.INTRODUCTIONCONTEXTSERMON OUTLINECONCLUSIONNOTESOUTLINESQUESTIONS TO CONSIDER DISCUSSION QUESTIONSMAIN REFERENCES USEDMy opening prayer: Lord God, help us grow to be and do like Jesus, while abiding in him and leading others to do the same. INTRODUCTIONMany of you know that last week we were online only due to the snow and hazardous roads. I was super encouraged by the number of people who tuned in as well. However, the most common feedback I got was interesting. Apparently, it looked like I was reading from the back of my Bible. But I was reading Genesis which is in the front of our Bibles. So, just to set the record straight, I was reading from the front of my Bible while my iPhone live-streamed the mirror-version of me reading. Some of you figured that out by looking at my rings or some other thing. I thought that was funny:-).So "Hero to zero" is a term that athletes sometimes use to describe when a player follows an amazing play with a boneheaded play. I see this in Ultimate Frisbee a lot. (And have done it too)You make an amazing, diving catch. The sidelines erupt with sounds of awe and groans of opposition. Then the player jumps up and instead of dropping it to the open handler poised to throw a scoring strike, they act on their inflated confidence and make a poor throw that ends up in the other teams hands. Hero to zero. The psychological term is overconfidence effect. I don't know if Abram is dealing with that but he definitely goes from a very high confidence in God to a very high confidence in himself.Let's read this together now.Shorter-God initiates redemption, calls us to trust Him without all the details, blesses us for the sake of the world, anchors us with His promises, and forms a people who respond with obedience, worship, and witness.Longer-God is the One who initiates redemption. He calls people before they understand all the details, inviting them to trust His voice and follow His lead. God's blessing is never merely personal—it is always meant to flow outward for the sake of others and ultimately for the nations. Along the way, God anchors His people in uncertain places with unshakable promises. And when God calls, His people respond—not perfectly, but faithfully—through obedience, worship, and public witness as they walk with Him step by step.CONTEXT**Genesis 12 marks a decisive turning point in the biblical story, as God initiates His redemptive plan through one man and one family, promising land, descendants, and blessing that will ultimately extend to all nations. God's promises are spoken clearly and graciously at the outset, calling Abram to leave what is familiar and trust God with an unknown future. Abram responds in faith, worship, and obedience, yet the chapter quickly reveals that walking in God's promises does not mean a flawless journey. Famine, fear, and failure follow obedience, exposing Abram's weakness and need for grace. Throughout the chapter, God remains faithful to protect His promise, preserve Sarai, and continue His purposes despite Abram's missteps. Genesis 12 therefore holds together both realities of our series, God's Promises, Our Journey: God's promises are unshakable, while the journey of faith is marked by growth, testing, and restoration rather than perfection.SERMON (influenced by W Wiersbe, Kent Hughes, and Bethancourt)Review last week:God Is the Initiator of RedemptionGod Calls His People to Trust Him Before They Understand HimGod's Blessing Is Never Merely Personal—It Is MissionalGod Promises to Anchor His People in Uncertain Times & PlacesGod's People Respond with Obedience, Worship, and WitnessTruth 1: Tests often follow triumphs. Moses gets Israel delivered from Pharaoh after the 10th plague followed by Pharaoh abusing the entire arm after them and trapping them against the Red Sea. God brought them through the Red Sea only to test them with no water in the desert. Then no bread. Then no meat.God's tests often come after triumph when we're tempted to think the victory was because of us--not God. We quickly forget God.Of course, God doesn't have us face the tests alone. He allows them for our good* and for his glory. God is with us so we don't have to be afraid.*James 1:1-12Application: So after a faith victory, expect a trial or test. Humble yourself instead of swelling with pride by thanking God and asking him to not let you forget who made that happen or who the source of that grace and provision is.Truth 2: Tests tempt us to run.Ex. People travel up and down I-95 from NY to FL asking for $$$ from people and churches because they're running from crisis only to travel back a year later.Ex. People move from one town to another trying to start over as if all their problems will stay behind. 12:10 Instead of staying (or even just asking God), Abram schemes his own plan. A plan with dangers and risks.We go "down" to Egypt not just topographically (elevation is lower in Egypt) but spiritually, in the Bible. (Abe, Mo, Joe)We go "up" to Jerusalem (where God lives) not just topographicaly (elevation is high) but spiritually, in the Bible. Application: When testing occurs, stay put until God tells you to go. Now, I've met with a lot of people who say God told them to go, even though their sitting in front of me in crisis. So this requires great discernment and prayer.Faith moves towards peace and hope.Unbelief moves towards restlessness and fear.Truth 3: God is great! Therefore, he's in control so I don't have to be; he is able.I am safer in a famine IN HIS WILL that in a palace OUT OF HIS WILL."The will of God will never lead you where the grace of God cannot keep you." (A saying)Abe failed his test with God. This lead to more problems! "When you enroll into the 'school of faith' you can't just drop out because of failure." -WWIt was the first nine weeks of my freshman year in high school. I'd just moved to Summerville 3 months before. And I just failed the first nine weeks of Alebra 1. I'd never failed any class or nine weeks before. I was scared to go home that day. My parents were concerned by supportive. We worked harder and I finished the year with a C average. I might have felt it was a little unfair since my teachers name was Mr. Phailer. But I digress...Abram went down to Egypt moving from trust to scheming/grasping.No altars built in Egypt.No calling on the name of the Lord in Egypt.No worship of God in Egypt.When we stop trusting God's word, we start leaning on man's wisdom. -WWHalf-truths are used to deceive. In the 10 commandments, it says do not commit false witness. Do not deceive others. Abram did that.Abram...Moves from trust to scheming or graspingMoves from confidence to fear ("I will" to "they will")Moves from "others" to selfMoves from bringing blessings to bringing judgmentTruth 4: God keeps his promises. God graciously brought him (them) through it all. Mainly because it would have ruined his promise. God rescued them from Pharaoh and sent them home well-provisioned. This foreshadowed the fleecing that would occur when Moses led Israel out of Egypt and through the Red Sea.Truth 5: Repentance leads to New Beginnings. When you stop trusting God's word and disobey, the only right thing to do is to go back to where you left him and make a new beginning. (1 John 1:9)Abram went back to his tent and altar in the Promised Land; to his life as a sojourner and stranger in this world.What was the big deal?! He came out well-provisioned and safe. It led to other problems with Lot Sarai paid a priceApplication: Never abandon your altar. Stay in fellowship with the Lord and his people no matter the crisis. Resist the temptation to run or isolate. Rest in his provision and protection found in his community. This is part of his covenant relationship we made with us. And he is faithful!CONCLUSIONBottom line: When we fail God, we return to the place where we left his presence and start again. A new beginning.God's promises are unshakable. They are for Abraham and they are for us through Jesus Christ. Will we have times of fear and doubt? Yes. Will God be there for us no matter what? Yes!How do we minimize the times of fear and doubt?We humble ourselves and review God's promises thanking God for them and resting in them. We continue our journey by grace through faith. When we get off track, we return to where we got off track and make another new beginning. We remember these truths and receive his blessings by obeying God's word, worship God himself, and being a blessing in word and deed daily. INVITATIONPeter puts it all in perspective in his first sermon:““Therefore let all Israel be assured of this: God has made this Jesus, whom you crucified, both Lord and Messiah.” When the people heard this, they were cut to the heart and said to Peter and the other apostles, “Brothers, what shall we do?” Peter replied, “Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. The promise is for you and your children and for all who are far off—for all whom the Lord our God will call.”” ‭‭Acts‬ ‭2‬:‭36‬-‭39‬ ‭NIV‬‬How do we respond? Answer 2 questions:Take out a card or piece of paper right now. Write down the answer to these questions: What is God saying to me right now?What am I going to do about it? Write this down on a sheet of paper. What I hear you saying, Lord, is ___________________.[my name] is going to believe/do __________________________________________________ as a result.Finally, share this with your Home or Mission group this week when you gather as a testimony about what God is doing in your life. You don't have to get too specific to give him praise.Lord's Supper, 1 Cor 11:23-26 is good passage.Also, say something like, "Christ has died, Christ is risen, Christ will come again." (past, present, and future)PrayNOTES"Fellow believers (Abram's spiritual seed), when we truly believe the promises that are ours in Christ, when we truly understand and believe that we are seated right now in him in the heavenly places, when we understand that all things are ours in Christ, we will cease our grasping. As Alexander Maclaren put it:The less of our energies are consumed in asserting ourselves, and scrambling for our rights, and cutting in before other people, so as to get the best places for ourselves, the more we shall have to spare for better things; and Whereas Abram was living by taith, Lot was living by sight, much as Proram had lived in Egypt."-Alexander MacLaren, Hughes, pp. 200-201Illustration from last week:"I only have eyes for..."AN EXTRAORDINARY ANECDOTE comes to us from the annals of ancient Mideastern history. As the story goes, Cyrus, the great conqueror of the then known world including Babylon, had a general under his authority whose wife was suspected of treason. She was tried before a great and austere tribunal, found guilty, and sentenced to death. After the sentence was pronounced, the woman's husband (a general) made his way to Cyrus's throne and requested, “King Cyrus, please let me take her place.” Cyrus, in awe at what was transpiring before him, said to his court, “Can we terminate a love as great as this?” He then paroled the woman to her husband. As the couple left the court, the general said to his wife, “Did you see the benevolent look in Cyrus's eyes as he pardoned you?” The wife responded, “I only had eyes for the one who loved me enough that he was willing to die for me.”OUTLINESQUESTIONS TO CONSIDERWhat do I want them to know?

This month marks four years since Russia launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine—a conflict that has reshaped global politics, security, and the international order. To reflect on this grim anniversary, Global in the Granite State welcomes a powerful and deeply personal conversation with Sviatoslav Yuras, Ukraine's youngest member of parliament and a recent participant in the Open World Leadership Program hosted in New Hampshire.Drawing on his experiences as both a lawmaker and a frontline soldier, Yuras offers rare insight into how Ukrainians view the war, the prospects for peace, and the hard lessons learned from broken agreements with Russia. He speaks candidly about why Ukrainians remain deeply skeptical of ceasefires without real security guarantees, how morale endures amid staggering personal sacrifice, and what “Live Free or Die” truly means when national survival is at stake.The conversation also explores the broader global implications of the war—from the authoritarian coalition backing Russia to the role of democratic accountability inside Ukraine itself, including how the country confronts corruption even in wartime. Above all, this episode asks a critical question for Americans and Granite Staters alike: why does Ukraine matter to us—and what role can citizens play in shaping what comes next?This is a sobering, hopeful, and ultimately urgent discussion about sovereignty, democracy, and the cost of indifference in a world where might is once again testing right.Sviatoslav Andriyovych Yurash is the youngest ever Ukrainian MP and a public figure. An active participant in the Revolution of Dignity. MP of Ukraine of the IX convocation from the "Servant of the People" party. Initiator and Chairman of the largest caucus in the history of the Parliament "Values. Dignity. Family", Initiator and Secretary of the second largest Parliamentary Caucus "Intermarium". Member of the Verkhovna Rada Committee on Foreign Policy and Inter-Parliamentary Cooperation, Chairman of the Subcommittee on Relations and Protection of the Rights and Interests of the Ukrainians Abroad.

Mangelnde Qualität bei den Bewerbungen – das war die offizielle Begründung für die diesjährige Absage des Farinelli-Wettbewerbs für Countertenöre. Dabei hatte der Wettbewerb bei seiner Erstauflage im vergangenen Jahr im Rahmen der Internationalen Händelfestspiele Karlsruhe für großes Aufsehen gesorgt. Christoph von Bernuth, Initiator des Wettbewerbs und Operndirektor des Badischen Staatstheaters Karlsruhe, erklärt in SWR Kultur die Hintergründe der Entscheidung.

Zum Jahresbeginn blickt Moderatorin Birgit Reuther alias Biggy Pop auf zwei neue popkulturelle Projekte, die 2026 in Hamburg an den Start gehen. Glimmer ist der Name eines Clubs, der im Hamburger Kreativquartier Oberhafen eröffnen wird - in einem ehemaligen Lokschuppen auf einer Fläche von 548 Quadratmetern. Mit Schwerpunkt auf Musik und Nachtleben, ergänzt durch Lesungen, Flohmärkte und Theater. Glimmer-Mitbetreiber Anton Burmester ist ebenso zu Gast im Studio wie Thomas Harsman von der Karsten Jahnke Konzertdirektion, seines Zeichens Kurator, Booker und Initiator des Amplifire Festivals. Dieses neue Open-Air für Rockmusik wird am 7. und 8. August auf dem Dockville-Gelände in Wilhelmsburg zu erleben sein. Mit Acts wie Frank Turner, Laura Jane Grace, Rauchen und Still Talk. Im Nachtclub Überpop sprechen sie über ihre Ideen und deren Umsetzung, über Mut und Teamwork, über Herausforderungen und Vorfreude. Zudem richtet sich der Blick immer wieder auf die Situation der Musikbranche insgesamt.(00:00:00) Intro(02:06) STEAM WALTZ(14:54) YOU WHA M8(23:19) Guts(36:37) ETP(50:47) Hunting Season(53:38) Bow Down

In this message, Wesley Fagan unpacks a transformative truth: it is GOD who is the great initiator of salvation, righteousness, and every part of our life with Him. Using Colossians 1, Romans 5, and Psalm 100, he challenges the common mindset that faith depends on our effort, performance, or ability to “hold it all together.” Instead, he reframes everything through God's perspective: We were created for Him, sustained by Him, reconciled by Him, and empowered by His Spirit. Join us for our Gospel Night in San Diego, California on January 16th or in Austin, Texas on January 25th!

In dieser Folge treffe ich ‪@MarcFriedrich7‬ zu einem Gespräch. Wir gehen sofort in die Tiefe: Kindheit, Außenseitersein, die Suche nach Wahrheit, der Preis von Klarheit – und warum Marc sagt, dass er lieber unbequem ist, als angepasst. Wir sprechen über Spiritualität, über Angst vs. innere Führung, über Cancel Culture, Debattenkultur und die Frage, die sich viele nicht trauen zu stellen: „Was, wenn ich falsch liege – und was, wenn genau dieser Zweifel meine größte Stärke ist?“ Marc erzählt, warum er sich als MINDPUNK versteht, wie er gelernt hat, gegen den Strom zu schwimmen, und weshalb er glaubt, dass echte Veränderung nicht im Außen beginnt – sondern im Inneren. Und ja: Bitcoin kommt vor – aber als Symbol für Freiheit, Verantwortung und Bewusstsein.

Wir starten mit diesem Podcast eine Reihe durch die Kapitel der Bibel. Mein Gedanke ist es, zu jedem Kapitel in 5-6 Minuten wesentliche Prinzipien und Punkte zu nennen. Das ersetzt kein persönliches Bibelstudium und auch keine Andacht. Aber es könnte ein Initiator sein, auf dieser Basis die einzelnen Abschnitte selbst zu lesen und in Andacht vor dem Herrn unter Gebet zu lesen. In jedem Podcast über die einzelnen Kapitel werden auch Bibelverse gelesen, aber natürlich nicht das gesamte Kapitel. Daher braucht es zur Nacharbeit eine geöffnete Bibel (oder im Auto das Abspielen zum Beispiel der www.csv-bibel.de). Wir wollen zweimal pro Woche einen neuen Podcast veröffentlichen. Viel Segen damit - jetzt mit einer (trotz der Länge) Kurz-Einleitung zu 1. Mose.

Silber steht vor einem historischen Wendepunkt. In diesem hochaktuellen Interview analysieren wir gemeinsam mit Peter Boehringer – Finanzexperte, Edelmetall-Kenner und Initiator von „Holt unser Gold heim“ – die dramatischen Entwicklungen am Silbermarkt. Preisexplosionen über 80 US-Dollar, massive industrielle Nachfrage, Chinas Exportstopp und ein zunehmender Vertrauensverlust in den Papiermarkt werfen eine zentrale Frage auf: Erleben wir gerade einen fundamentalen Systembruch?

Purushottam Yadav is a Nepali Gen Z activist from Siraha, who rose to prominence during the September Gen-Z Protest as a key organiser, digital mobiliser. Initiator of the viral “Wake Up Nepal” campaign. He recently entered mainstream politics by joining the Rastriya Swatantra Party (RSP) in December 2025.

Heute geht es um ein Thema, das ganz viele Menschen betrifft, über das aber noch viel zu wenig gesprochen wird: Einsamkeit und Alleinsein – gerade bei jungen Erwachsenen und Menschen mittleren Alters. Zu Gast ist Christian Fein, Initiator der Initiative „Keinerbleibtallein“. Aus einer einfachen Idee – Menschen über bereits vorhandene soziale Netzwerke miteinander zu verbinden – ist seit 2018 ein deutschlandweit bekanntes, niedrigschwelliges Vermittlungsangebot entstanden, das unter anderem auf Facebook und Instagram aktiv ist und durch die Gruppe „Weihnachten nicht allein“ viele Menschen an den Feiertagen zusammenbringt. Inzwischen ist „Keinerbleibtallein“ weit mehr als eine reine Weihnachtsvermittlung: Mit zehntausenden Teilnehmenden, einem ergänzenden SocialFund zur Unterstützung armutsbetroffener Gastgeber und Gäste und der Weiterentwicklung zu einer Informationsplattform gegen Einsamkeit stellt die Initiative Hilfestellungen, Impulse und aktuelle Erkenntnisse aus der Einsamkeitsforschung bereit – damit Betroffene selbst wieder nachhaltige Kontakte knüpfen können.

David Kadel mag den Begriff "Coach" nicht, weil mittlerweile "auf Social Media jeder irgend ein Coaching zur Verbesserung der eigenen Wurst-Fabrikation anbietet". Stattdessen fällt im Gespräch mit ihm immer wieder der Begriff des "Ermutigers" oder des Mental Health-Begleiters. Ohnehin würde in Deutschland jeder Erwachsene durchschnittlich nur dreimal täglich lachen, und das müsse unbedingt ausgebaut werden. Im Christlichen ist David Kadel ganz sicherlich vor allem über seine Buch- und Film-Projekte mit Fußball-Spielern und -Trainern in der Bundesliga bekannt geworden, ist darüber hinaus heute aber als Keynote-Sprecher und Business-Coach, als persönlicher Ermutiger (Coach) und als Initiator des Schüler-Mutmachprojektes "Wie man Riesen bekämpft" aktiv. Was das alles mit seiner persönlichen Begegnung mit Gott, seinem Glauben an Jesus, mit manchem Scheitern auch in seinem Leben, aber immer auch mit viel mehr Optimismus und eigenem Lebensmut zu tun hat - das erzählt er am Mikro in der neuesten Ausgabe von WUNDERWERKE SKYPT.Für die Unterstützung dieser Sendung bedanken wir uns herzlich bei unserem Werbepartner proCEO, dem Ausbildungsinstitut für Coaching und Supervision.Nächste Ausgabe: WUNDERWERKE SKYPT mit Lothar Kosse.WUNDERWERKE SKYPT ist ein kostenfreies Angebot, das uns bei Wunderwerke dennoch etwas kostet.

Unserem Wald geht es nicht gut: Laut dem letzten Waldzustandbericht sind vier von fünf Bäumen nicht gesund, eine Zahl, die wehtut. Schuld sind die Klimakrise und Schädlinge wie der Borkenkäfer, die unseren Wäldern sehr zusetzen. Das ist ein Problem, dann Wälder sind für unser Klima und unsere Biodiversität, aber auch als Naherholungsraum extrem wichtig. Die Klima-Initiative „Morgen kann kommen“ vom Bundesverband der Deutschen Volksbanken und Raiffeisenbanken setzt deshalb auf Aufforstung in deutschen Wäldern. Wie das funktioniert und wie hier sichergestellt wird, dass die Aufforstung dem Wald auch wirklich nützt, das bespreche ich in dieser Folge von Fairquatscht mit André Musalf, dem Gruppenleiter Markenkommunikation und Initiator der Klima-Initiative beim BVR.

Statt Schutz dominiert Abschuss: Allein in Kärnten wurden in den letzten Wochen mehrere Wölfe als sogenannte Risikowölfe getötet – zuletzt am 7. Dezember im Bezirk Hermagor. Davor wurde ein Wolf direkt neben bewohnten Gebäuden geschossen. Es war bereits der vierte Wolf innerhalb von zwei Wochen, der Vierzehnte in diesem Jahr in Kärnten und der 29. seit Einführung der Kärntner Risikowolfsverordnung 2022. Dabei hatte der Europäische Gerichtshof (EuGH) erst am 11. Juli 2024 eindeutig entschieden: Das Jagdverbot für Wölfe gilt auch in Österreich, Ausnahmen sind nur unter strengsten Bedingungen erlaubt. Doch auch auf den Almen wird weiter geschossen – und die Fronten verhärten sich. Während ein Großteil der Bevölkerung den Wolf positiv sieht, wächst in ländlichen Regionen - durch gezielte Desinformation und Hass und Hetze befördert - der Druck von Viehhaltern, Tourismus und Politik. Und mittendrin: der heutige Gast – bislang anonym unterwegs als „Wölfe in Österreich“ auf YouTube, Instagram und Co. Doch in dieser Folge passiert etwas Großes: Exklusiv im Wolfpodcast lüftet der Initiator erstmals das Geheimnis um seine Identität. Warum jetzt? Weil „Wölfe in Österreich“ ab sofort ein eingetragener Verein ist – mit dem Ziel, die Stimme der Wölfe im Land noch stärker zu machen und den Schutz dieser faszinierenden Tiere auf die nächste Stufe zu heben. "Mein Name ist Gerald Friedl und die Politiker und alle anderen, die gegen den Wolf sind, mögen sich warm anziehen", verspricht 52 jährige Obmann des neuen Vereins. Auf die Unterstützung vom Wolfspodcast kann er auf jeden Fall schonmal zählen. Und jetzt weiter mit dem exklusiven Gespräch über Mut, und den schwierigen Kampf für den Wolf in Österreich.

What is the true vow of your life, the one it would kill you to break?  This phrase comes from the poem 'All The True Vows' by David Whyte, but there can be no better introduction to this week's guest, who knows how to help people - ordinary, every-day people from our culture -  build true, heart-felt connections with the web of life such that we come to know what we are here for, our unique gift to the world, the promise is would kill us to break, what it feels like to be so heart-explodingly in love with the sheer wonder of being alive that we can step out of the world we thought we knew, into the world as it really is, alive with connection to all parts of ourselves, each other and the whole of the more than human world. Bill Plotkin is one of those who has found what he's here for. He's been a Thrutopian activist and cultural catalyst since long before those were buzzwords in our firmament.  Over the years, he has been a research psychologist, professor of psychology, psychotherapist, rock musician, and whitewater river guide. Now, I would say he is a visionary, a mystic and an elder. More importantly, he's a map-maker, a way-breaker, a trail-leader of the routes we will have to take to walk out of this moment of dissolution, into a world of remembering and creating anew. Back in the early 80s, Bill founded the Animas Valley Institute, whose central purpose is to assist people through the initiatory process that leads to visionary leadership and cultural artistry. Its primary work is with those ready to undergo the joys and challenges of the underworld descent to soul, which flowers into a life of meaningful service and abundant fulfilment — or a deepening for those already on the journey.In other words, Animas Valley Institute supports people in our culture to find what they're here for, to undergo, in his words, the journey of soul initiation. To embark on this journey requires that people break out of the perpetual early adolescence of modernity and endure the ecstatic initiations of late adolescence and that eventually result in true adulthood and perhaps, for a few, genuine elderhood. Bill offers maps and models for his work in depth and detail. He has four books to date and I encourage you to read them all in order from Soulcraft: Crossing into the Mysteries of Nature and Psyche, through Nature and the Human Soul, to Wild Mind and finally, The Journey of Soul Initiation.  He writes a blog, Soulcraft Musings, which I also recommend, because we could have explored the basics of Bill's models of human evolution and what it means for people of our culture, who have been subject to what he calls 'systemic human developmental oppression' for many hundreds of generations… and in the long conversation that follows, we did explore the basics of this, but in the days before recording, Bill shared the early draft of a paper called 'A Map to the Next World' and this lit all kinds of fires in my heart and mind and soul—because Bill's capacity to write lucidly the things this podcast is all about  is beautiful and sharp and perfect.  He writes: 'We need a map to the next world because our current world is clearly in its death throes…We need a map to the next world, a way to navigate the long trail from here to cultures that we will be proud to leave for the future ones — of all species. And nature, as always, including human nature, provides this map, or at least templates for creating one. And we need to translate the map into a contemporary language that we can understand — and act on — even though the journey is necessarily through realms of great mystery. We won't find our way using the maps of other peoples or of other times. We must make our own map.'As and when his paper on the Map becomes available, I'll put it in the show notes.  In the meantime, I have included the poem by David Whyte, because truly, it is one of the guiding lights of our movement, and I've included Joy Harjo's poem, also called 'A Map to the Next World' both as a YouTube recording of her speaking it, and the poem, and the book of the same name from which it came. Please do explore these. And now, let's head into the ways we can change our world, with Bill Plotkin. LinksAnimas Valley Institute https://www.animas.org/Soulcraft Musings (https://www.animas.org/books/bill-plotkins-soulcraft-musings/Bills Books Soulcraft: Crossing into the Mysteries of Nature and Psyche (an experiential guidebook), Nature and the Human Soul: Cultivating Wholeness and Community in a Fragmented World (a nature-based stage model of human development through the entire lifespan), Wild Mind: A Field Guide to the Human Psyche (an ecocentric map of the psyche — for healing, growing whole, and cultural transformation)The Journey of Soul Initiation: A Field Guide for Visionaries, Evolutionaries, and Revolutionaries (an experiential guidebook for the descent to soul).

In today's episode we are discussing receptivity and initiation. Receptivity is about receiving and responding to cues from your partner. Some partners may be sexually receptive or emotionally receptive meaning they need their partner to initiate the cues first and then they can respond. Join our hosts, George and Laurie as they breakdown what this looks like in relationships and the negative trap that it can sometimes create. If you often find that your partner doesn't initiate emotional conversations or sex negative meaning is often created, as "they don't care." Our hosts, warn that this pathway is a block to connection and it's more relational to remember that having to cue your partner is not always a bad thing. This conversation is sure to get you think about how you show up in your relationship and what you may need to do differently. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Tim Becker ist Gründer und Geschäftsführer von Karrierekapitän, einem KI-basierten Startup zur Berufsorientierung für Jugendliche und Schüler. Karrierekapitän bietet unter anderem diagnostische Tests und einen digitalen Karriereberater an, der mithilfe künstlicher Intelligenz jungen Menschen dabei hilft, selbstbestimmt und stressfrei ihren Berufs- und Studienweg zu finden. Die Plattform richtet sich primär an Schüler der Klassen 9 bis 12, aber auch an deren Begleiter wie Workshop-Anbieter und Eltern.​Tim Becker entwickelt mit seinem Co-Gründer Sebi KI-basierte Tools und ist auch in Interviews als Initiator und Ideengeber des Projekts präsent. Ziel ist es, die Berufswahl klischeefrei und individuell zu unterstützen – z.B. werden persönliche Merkmale wie Geschlecht und Herkunft nicht abgefragt, um stereotype Vorschläge zu vermeiden. Die Berufsbeschreibungen des Karrierekapitäns basieren auf der klischeefreien BERUFENET-Datenbank der Bundesagentur für Arbeit.​Becker ist in Köln ansässig und vertritt Karrierekapitän als offizieller Ansprechpartner und Gesellschafter.

Was passiert, wenn Berufsorientierung nicht mehr wie eine Messe aussieht, sondern wie ein Spiel? Beim KarriereKick in Ravensburg treffen sich Jugendliche und Unternehmensvertreter:innen am Kickertisch. Nicht, um Lebensläufe auszutauschen, sondern um sich auf Augenhöhe kennenzulernen. In dieser besonderen Ja klaHR!-Episode spreche ich mit Johannes Kirsch, dem Initiator des Karriere-Kick, mit Florian Dismann, der das Format mutig nach Ravensburg geholt hat, und mit Maria Rigal, Geschäftsführerin der Wirtschaftsförderung WiR GmbH.

“Every rite of passage begins with a story. The one we have been living, and the one waiting to be written.” – Cara JonesMost of us carry a story that whispers I am powerless.It splinters into shame, unworthiness, perfectionism, and survival patterns that never got the message the war is over.This episode of Rewritten is about what happens when we face those patterns instead of hiding them. When grief, rage, fear, and shame are met with presence, they transform into fuel. When ritual is added to the threshold, breakdown becomes initiation.This story was told live at this month's Stories of Love and Resilience event online.Inside this episode you will hear:The root of the victim story and how it shapes our livesThe three stages of a rite of passage: severance, threshold, initiationCara's story: When the War Is OverRewritten is not about erasing your story. It is about meeting it as raw material and choosing authorship.It is an invitation to unpack the heavy suitcase, empty the psychic closet, and reclaim your power so that a new story can rise.Registration is open until September 24th: join here✨ About Your Host: Cara JonesI'm Cara.

Unsere heutige Folge ist eine besondere, denn sie ist nicht nur ein Gespräch, sondern auch ein Wiedersehen. Unser Gast hat an unserem New Work Masterskills Executive Programm teilgenommen, und wie ihr wisst: Wenn wir mit Menschen in engerem Austausch stehen, merkt man das auch in unseren Gesprächen. Unser heutiger Gast gründete bereits mit 17 Jahren sein erstes Unternehmen, anfangs baute er Rechner zusammen, später Webseiten. Seine Leidenschaft für Technik, Unternehmertum und digitale Geschäftsmodelle hat ihn seither nicht mehr losgelassen. Es folgten Stationen als Geschäftsführer, Interimsmanager, CTO, Head of Engineering, immer mit einem klaren Fokus: wie man Technologie in die Breite bringt, Menschen einbindet und Organisationen wirklich zukunftsfähig macht. Er war mehrere Jahre in führender Rolle bei Lensing Media tätig, ist heute selbstständig als Berater und Facilitator aktiv, unter anderem als Dozent an der International School of Management und als Initiator und Gründungsmitglied von unfold e.V., einer Organisation, die sich für das Thema Stärkenorintierung bei Kindern und Jugendlichen einsetzt. Seit mehr als acht Jahren beschäftigen wir uns in diesem Podcast mit der Frage, wie Arbeit den Menschen stärkt, statt ihn zu schwächen. In über 500 Gesprächen mit mehr als 600 Persönlichkeiten haben wir darüber gesprochen, was sich für sie geändert hat – und was sich weiter ändern muss. Wie prägt es einen, wenn man als Erster in der Familie ein akademisches Berufsleben einschlägt und sich seinen Weg Schritt für Schritt selbst erarbeitet? Wie verändert es den Blick auf Technologie und Zusammenarbeit, wenn man mit 15 verstanden hat, was ein Computer alles ermöglichen kann? Und wie beeinflusst das eigene Stärkenprofil die berufliche Richtung – insbesondere, wenn man beginnt, Stärken bewusst in die Arbeit mit Menschen und Organisationen zu integrieren? Fest steht: Für die Lösung unserer aktuellen Herausforderungen brauchen wir neue Impulse. Daher suchen wir weiter nach Methoden, Vorbildern, Erfahrungen, Tools und Ideen, die uns dem Kern von New Work näherbringen. Darüber hinaus beschäftigt uns von Anfang an die Frage, ob wirklich alle Menschen das finden und leben können, was sie im Innersten wirklich, wirklich wollen. Ihr seid bei „On the Way to New Work“ – heute mit Sebastian Schipper. [Hier](https://linktr.ee/onthewaytonewwork) findet ihr alle Links zum Podcast und unseren aktuellen Werbepartnern
