St. Isaac speaks with the voice of one who has tasted what he teaches. His words carry both severity and sweetness, and at their heart lies a single call: to love God with such singleness that all else is left behind, and to find rest in Him alone. He begins by speaking of reading. For the one who prays, reading is no small companion. Instead of being filled with scattered memories and impressions of the world, the soul, when nourished by Scripture, finds within itself a treasury for prayer. The words of God become recollections that rise up during stillness, offering the mind holy material with which to converse with God. Sometimes these recollections themselves are so sweet, so overwhelming, that they silence the heart entirely and leave the soul motionless before God. Reading thus becomes a doorway into the mysteries of prayer—not as an exercise of intellect alone, but as communion, as a sacrament of remembrance that enlightens the heart. But to enter such prayer, St. Isaac reminds us, requires renunciation. A heart weighted with possessions or concerns is like wet wood that cannot be set aflame. Divine fervor does not ignite in a soul that loves ease. The words are stark, even offensive, but they uncover the truth: we cannot serve two masters. Only the one purified of worldly entanglements will be able to bear witness to the sweetness of God's mysteries, for true knowledge is born only of experience, not of hearsay. Yet this renunciation is not negation alone. It must take flesh in mercy. St. Isaac turns us to almsgiving, the act that draws the heart most near to God. To give freely, without discrimination between worthy and unworthy, without expectation of return, is to love as God Himself loves. Poverty chosen for Christ becomes a higher wealth, freeing the mind for serenity and boldness in prayer. Still, even here he warns us of subtle temptations: one may come to love possessions “for the sake of almsgiving,” and thus re-enter turmoil. Almsgiving is holy, but stillness is higher, for in stillness the soul communes with God directly, free of all care. This is St. Isaac's vision—severe, yes, but radiant: to become all flame with the love of God, to renounce all so that one might rest in Him, and in that rest, to discover the joy of unceasing prayer and the inexhaustible fountain of His mercy. Here, and here alone, the soul finds the rest of love. --- Text of chat during the group: 00:10:46 Bob Čihák, AZ: P. 149, last sentence on page 00:22:51 Diana Cleveland: I have found that is to be really true.

“Find strong men to hang out with who you can feed off of and who will challenge you and encourage you in the best possible way.”  Strength is more than muscle—it's discipline, clarity, and the refusal to settle into weakness. When men trade ambition for excuses, or numb themselves with comfort and distraction, they lose the ability to protect, to provide, and to lead. Softness might feel easier in the moment, but it leaves men exposed.  Jake Giffin lays it out: identity shapes destiny. Men who see themselves only as sinners or victims stay stuck in cycles of anger, fear, and insecurity. But when they root their lives in strength and conviction, they become the men their families and communities can trust. He shares how proximity—both to God and to other strong men—defines the path forward.  Jake Giffin is a men's coach and business leader who blends biblical wisdom with practical psychology. His mission is to call men out of weakness, push them toward strength, and remind them that soft men are always targets.  Learn more & connect:   https://www.jakegiffin.com/  Also in this episode:  • Galatians, chapter 5 (Bible)  • John Calvin, Institutes of the Christian Religion  • Jeff Hopf's poem: Strong Men Create Good Times, Good Times Create Weak Men, Weak Men Create Hard Times  You're invited to come to a Sovereign Circle meeting to experience it for yourself.

Dr Clark continues the series on the Lord's Supper, Nourish and Sustain. This series explores what the Supper is, why it was instituted, how it has been understood in the history of the church, what Scripture says, how we should understand it, and practice it. The Lord's Supper is one of the two sacraments instituted by our Lord Jesus Christ. A sacrament is a sign and seal of Holy Spirit-given benefits. Where baptism is the sign and seal of initiation into Christ-confessing covenant community, the Lord's Supper is the sign and seal of renewal and personal appropriation of the benefits promised in the covenant of grace. Tragically, since the mid-ninth century at least, holy communion, which is intended to bring Christ's people together, has often been a source of division. Perhaps worse, however, for much of the last one hundred fifty years, the Supper has been much neglected among evangelicals. In this episode, Dr. Clark concludes his discussion of John Calvin's teaching on the Lord's Supper from his Institutes (1559).

Today Professor Kozlowski takes on the political philosophy of the Medieval (and early modern) Christian world, as a cross-section of ideas and interpretations made by Christian political philosophers. Our readings for today hail from:City of God by Augustine of HippoSumma Theologica by Thomas Aquinas"Temporal Authority: To What Extent it Should be Obeyed" by Martin Luther (requires a free Internet Archives account to borrow)Institutes of the Christian Religion by John Calvin (Chapter XIX: par. 15 and Chapter XX: On Civil Government, par. I, II, III, and XXIX)Along the way we'll encounter a wide variety of different interpretations of Biblical theology, and an even wider variety of applications for Christians trying to figure out how to live their lives in secular society. And we might even find some surprise cameos by ideas thought to originate in later, less Christian times.Additional readings this week mostly surround historical events, but I recommend Dante's De Monarchia and, for my gamers, Crusader Kings II (I haven't played III yet, but it's probably also good...)If you're interested in Professor Kozlowski's other online projects, check out his website: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠professorkozlowski.wordpress.com

Dr Clark continues the series on the Lord's Supper, Nourish and Sustain. This series explores what the Supper is, why it was instituted, how it has been understood in the history of the church, what Scripture says, how we should understand it, and practice it. The Lord's Supper is one of the two sacraments instituted by our Lord Jesus Christ. A sacrament is a sign and seal of Holy Spirit-given benefits. Where baptism is the sign and seal of initiation into Christ-confessing covenant community, the Lord's Supper is the sign and seal of renewal and personal appropriation of the benefits promised in the covenant of grace. Tragically, since the mid-ninth century at least, holy communion, which is intended to bring Christ's people together, has often been a source of division. Perhaps worse, however, for much of the last one hundred fifty years, the Supper has been much neglected among evangelicals. In this episode, Dr. Clark continues discussing John Calvin's teaching on the Lord's Supper from his Institutes (1559).

Recent catastrophic events have left many insurance carriers questioning whether traditional building practices can withstand increasingly severe weather patterns, while homeowners struggle with rising premiums and reduced coverage options. New research from the University of Alabama provides compelling evidence that resilient construction standards not only protect homes during major storms but also deliver measurable financial benefits to property owners. Dr. Lars Powell, director of the Center for Risk and Insurance Research at the University of Alabama, joins Pete Miller, CEO of The Institutes, to discuss how the findings offer a data-driven roadmap for addressing one of the insurance industry's most persistent challenges. Dr. Powell shares insights into how FORTIFIED homes performed during Hurricane Sally, revealing surprising findings about damage claims and the frequency of trees falling on houses. The conversation also covers the positive reception of the research, the challenges in promoting resilience, and the keys to Alabama's success in implementing resilience measures. Powell emphasizes the need for further research into risk mitigation and the economic implications of disaster recovery.Resources:Center for Risk & Insurance Research website: https://crir.culverhouse.ua.edu/ Alabama's 2025 FORTIFIED research: https://crir.culverhouse.ua.edu/2025/05/19/performance-of-ibhs-fortified-hometm-construction-in-hurricane-sally/Insurance Institute for Business & Home Safety: https://ibhs.org/ The Institutes: https://global.theinstitutes.org/Predict & Prevent website: https://www.predictandprevent.org/Sign up for our weekly Predict & Prevent newsletter: https://www.predictandprevent.org/newsletter/

As artificial intelligence reshapes the insurance landscape and climate-related disasters become increasingly frequent, regulators face the complex challenge of fostering innovation while protecting consumers. This episode of the Predict and Prevent podcast explores these pressing issues through the lens of a regulatory leader navigating these very challenges.Scott A. White, commissioner of the Virginia State Corporation Commission's Bureau of Insurance and president-elect of the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC), discusses how regulators are encouraging innovation while establishing necessary guardrails in the latest episode of the Predict & Prevent® podcast from The Institutes with guest host Frank Paul Tomasello, executive director of The Institutes' Griffith Insurance Education Foundation. The conversation explores how regulators are adapting to advances in AI and predictive modeling, particularly in property and casualty insurance rate-making. White discusses the regulatory community's focus on ensuring transparency, preventing discriminatory outcomes, and protecting data privacy while supporting industry innovation. He also highlights the growing emphasis on resilience and mitigation strategies, including state-level programs that provide incentives for consumers to adopt loss prevention measures. The discussion concludes with White's perspective on the durability of the state-based regulatory system and his outlook for the future of risk management and insurance.Resources:Virginia Bureau of Insurance: https://www.scc.virginia.gov/consumers/insurance/National Association of Insurance Commissioners: https://content.naic.org/The Institutes Griffith Educational Foundation: https://www.griffithfoundation.org/The Institutes: https://global.theinstitutes.org/Predict & Prevent website: https://www.predictandprevent.org/Sign up for our weekly Predict & Prevent newsletter: https://www.predictandprevent.org/newsletter/
