There is a solidarity among all of God's creatures because all are oriented to give glory to God. We learn that God created the world in six days and rested on the seventh day, sanctifying it and blessing it. Fr. Mike tells us that all creatures were made with a view to the Sabbath, created for the worship and adoration of God. We are all called to the sacred task of worshiping God and nothing else should take precedence over it. We end with an “In Brief” review of all we have learned in recent sessions about the physical world, the spiritual world, angels, and creation. Today's readings are Catechism paragraphs 344-354.

When the Temple Square renovation is complete, four new sculptures by artist Ben Hammond will welcome visitors to the grounds. Hammond began his career apprenticing under a sculptor known for crafting busts for the NFL Hall of Fame. Since then, his meticulous talent has led to creating Hall of Fame busts himself and sculpting a statue of Martha Hughes Cannon for the U.S. Capitol. On this week's episode, Ben shares how his life and career have been shaped—piece by piece—by the Master Sculptor. 2:03- Anatomy 7:43- The Creator 12:32- NFL Hall of Fame Busts 17:37- Uninterrupted Time With a Prophet 24:27- Temple Square Sculptures 34:29- Five Wise Virgins 38:55- Martha Hughes Cannon 45:36- What Does It Mean To Be All In the Gospel of Jesus Christ? "I don't want to live my life in fear. I don't want to be obsessed with politics and everything that's bad in the world. I want to focus on things of an eternal nature. There's some sadness that happens when you're separated in this life but to know that I've been redeemed by Jesus Christ—nothing can happen in this life that can take that away from me unless I choose for it to happen."

Thirty years ago, Joshua Harris became the cheerleader for purity culture with his book "I Kissed Dating Goodbye." Since then, he's apologized for the book, exited from ministry and his marriage, and announced he's no longer a Christian. He talks to Skye about his journey from fundamentalism to deconstructionism, and back toward curiosity about Jesus. Also this week, how the Trump administration is making paganism great again, why secular progressives are rediscovering the benefits of religion, and how Christians in Springfield, Ohio, have organized to protect Haitian immigrants from deportation. Plus, cannibal jellyfish are taking over Venice, and Phil has seen the wrap light.

Lorelai and Rory have still not made up. The tension is palpable.While at work later, Lorelai gets a call from Emily telling her about when the Christmas party is. Lorelai is talking about how she'd be late so Emily tells her not to come at all which is shocking to Lorelai. When Rory goes to leave, she tells her that she's sure Emily didn't mean it and asks her to go but Lorelai isn't budging. After Rory leaves, Lorelai hears a knocking coming from the window in Rory's room. It's Dean. Lorelai and Dean talk about what happened at Miss Patty's and she tells him to knock on the door next time.While at the party, Richard keeps complaining that it's hot. He goes to turn the air on but doesn't come back to the table.Lorelai shows up at Luke's, sad that she didn't go to the party because she likes the festive food, so he makes her a Santa burger. But she gets a call - her dad is in the hospital. He collapsed.Luke shuts the diner down to drive her to the hospital. When she gets there, she finds Emily rushing around, trying to get answers. Lorelai is very uncomfortable seeing her dad in the hospital because things are complicated with her parents.It turns out that he's going to be fine which is a relief, obviously. The big question now at the hospital is what's going on between Lorelai and Luke. Luke tells Emily it's nothing and she tells him he's stupid. And Emily & Lorelai squash their beef.With all of that behind us, Lorelai gets back to dating Max Medina. It's going well, they're having fun. But after finding out that Rory is gonna start calling him Max outside of school because she assumes she's going to start seeing him more often because things are going well, Lorelai gets freaked out. She decides it's probably time to break things off because she doesn't want Rory to get attached.Luckily for her, it's parent day at Chilton. A perfect time for her to break up with Max. She tries but instead, she ends up making out with him. Paris sees this happen and tells EVERYONE! Rory finds out and that leads to an argument. Unfortunately for them, it's time for Friday night dinner and Emily's heard about the kiss too. It's not great.When Lorelai and Max finally talk about it, Max tells her that he got called into Headmaster Charleston's office and his job is in jeopardy. He thinks it's best that they take a break which Lorelai agrees to but that doesn't stop her from heading back home to cry in her bed as Rory consoles her.

In 1838, a 6ft Cornishman going by the name of Sir William Courtenay led an insurrection in rural Kent. Courtenay claimed he was Jesus Christ – and a lot of people believed him. And when those supporters clashed with troops at Bossenden Wood, the result was carnage. Here, in conversation with Spencer Mizen, Ian Breckon describes the last battle fought on English soil and considers what it tells us about Victorian Britain. ----- GO BEYOND THE PODCAST Don't miss the new HistoryExtra podcast series History's Greatest Battles, back for a new run exploring the Wars of the Roses.

Spiritual danger isn’t always obvious. Just like something hidden in plain sight, the greatest threats to our faith are often unseen. Scripture reminds us that we have a real enemy who prowls like a roaring lion, looking for someone to devour. While we may not physically see spiritual warfare, it is very real. This devotional calls us to awareness—not fear. We are not left defenseless. God has equipped us with spiritual armor and given us His Word, His Spirit, and the advocacy of Jesus Christ. When the enemy whispers lies, Jesus stands as our Advocate, declaring us forgiven and redeemed. When accusations try to overwhelm us, Christ’s finished work silences them. Spiritual attacks can come through suffering, discouragement, temptation, doubt, or isolation. That’s why we are urged to stay alert and sober-minded. But vigilance doesn’t mean panic—it means standing firm in faith. The Lion of Judah has already triumphed over the prowling lion. We walk through life aware of the battle, but confident in the victory. God promises that after we have suffered for a little while, He Himself will restore, strengthen, and make us steadfast. We are protected, not because we are strong, but because He is. Main Takeaways Spiritual warfare is real, even when it is unseen. The enemy seeks to discourage, accuse, and weaken believers. God provides spiritual armor and calls us to stand firm in faith. Jesus is our Advocate, silencing the enemy’s accusations. God promises restoration, strength, and steadfastness after seasons of trial. Today’s Bible Verse “Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. Resist him, standing firm in the faith, because you know that the family of believers throughout the world is undergoing the same kind of sufferings. And the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory in Christ, after you have suffered a little while, will himself restore you and make you strong, firm and steadfast. To him be the power for ever and ever. Amen” (1 Peter 5:8-11, NIV).

Did you know the Bible has more scriptures about finances than about heaven and hell? Faith in the area of finances is the least use of our faith (Luke 16:10). If we can't trust God with our money, how can we expect to be able to trust Him with greater things? Join Andrew in this series of Charis chapel hours and discover how exercising your faith in the “least” can unlock faith for that which is greater.
In this message from Romans 15, Pastor J.D. challenges us to lift our eyes to the ends of the earth. When Jesus left his disciples, he promised that his gospel would go to every nation, tribe, language, and tongue. That task isn't finished. And God is calling many of us to follow him to the most unreached parts of the planet. Is it difficult? Yes. Is it dangerous? Yes. Is he worthy of it? Absolutely.
In this episode of The Grove Podcast, Shelley Giglio sits down with her dear friend and a long-time Grove girl, Courtney Pray Duke, to celebrate the release of Courtney's book And She Got Up : Shattered by Loss, Restored by Jesus and to trace the journey that shaped it. Courtney shares how everything changed in her life the day Andrew died in a bicycle accident — an instant that turned a bright day into “the darkest night of the soul.”With honesty and tenderness, Courtney recounts the disorienting fog of grief, the fight to keep going for her three young children, and the unexpected ways God met her in the lowest moments. From a pivotal encounter with God at Passion 2013 to the daily practice of anchoring her life in scripture, Courtney unpacks how faith can be tested in the fire — and how God's presence can become most real in the valley.Shelley and Courtney also talk about the power of community, learning to speak truth out loud, and the long obedience of writing the story down. Ultimately, this conversation is an invitation: if Jesus brought life to her story, He can bring life to yours too. And She Got Up releases on February 24, but you can pre-order your copy today.

With partisan politics taking center stage instead of athletic excellence at the Olympic Games, Jase, Al, and Zach wonder what happened to simple national pride. What was once a rare moment of unity now feels like another front in the culture wars. That frustration leads to a wild look back at the Robertsons' own dangerously reckless “Backyard Winter Olympics,” where frozen ponds, car hoods, and homemade skis somehow didn't end in tragedy. Beneath the cultural chaos runs a deeper question: if grace is real, why do we have to worry about doing what's good and right?

God created all of the visible world in richness, diversity, and order, and everything owes its existence to God. Because all of creation comes from God, every creature has its own goodness and perfection and God wills the interdependence of all creatures. Father Mike helps us to see that God gave us the world for our use, but not for our abuse. Human beings are made in the image and likeness of God and we are charged with caring for the natural world and all of its creatures. Today's readings are Catechism paragraphs 337-343.

In this episode, Tony sits down with Joseph Infranco to unpack the claims presented in his book, Decoding Cody, regarding the documented accounts of non-speaking autistic individuals who communicate through spelling. Drawing directly from the book, they examine the description of “the Hill,” a place where participants report meeting Jesus, angels, and one another beyond physical limitation. They explore the fascinating portrayals of spiritual warfare, angelic hierarchy, prayer as incense before God, and the insistence that everything on the Hill worships Christ.

In this powerful and deeply personal episode, we sit down with David Archuleta to discuss his new memoir, Devout: Losing My Faith to Find Myself. David opens up about his life inside of Mormonism, his rise to fame on American Idol, his mission, his relationship with Church leaders, and the long, painful journey toward self-acceptance as a gay man.This conversation goes far beyond headlines. David walks us through the internalized shame, religious scrupulosity, and obsessive righteousness that shaped his childhood and young adulthood. He reflects on the messages he received about masculinity, sexuality, and obedience –and how those teachings distorted his understanding of intimacy, trust, and self-worth.We explore David's experiences with Mormon apostles, including M. Russell Ballard, the November 2015 Policy, and the unsettling realization that Church leaders often spoke with certainty despite privately admitting they had no answers. David shares what it was like to be counseled to marry a woman, to suppress his identity, and to believe his faith could “heal” him –while quietly spiraling toward despair.This episode also addresses growing up in a Mormon bubble, religious OCD, messages about LGBTQ people, chastity and sin, fame and unpaid church services, leaving the church and reclaiming agency and what happiness and God look like for him now.David speaks with extraordinary honest, vulnerability, and compassion –not just for himself, but for the countless LGBTQ people still navigating high-demand religions.Order his book here.___________________YouTubeAt Mormon Stories we explore, celebrate, and challenge Mormon culture through in-depth stories told by members and former members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints as well as scholars, authors, LDS apologists, and other professionals.

We all need a touch from the Lord. And the Lord is ready to reach out. But too often, we’re touched, and jostled, and pummeled by the world around us . . . and we can’t seem to climb out from under the dogpile to feel the touch of the Lord. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie helps us draw inspiration and practical instruction from a pairing of stories in the New Testament when Jesus’ touch came to just the right people at just the right time. Good encouragement is ahead. — Become a Harvest Partner today and join us in knowing God and making Him known through media and large-scale evangelism, our mission of over 30 years.

Ozempic has become a cultural flashpoint that exposes deeper issues of discipline, identity, and the pursuit of approval. Ray, E.Z., Mark, and Oscar explore how GLP-1 medications, while medically helpful for some, are increasingly used as shortcuts to self-control in a culture obsessed with comfort, image, and instant results. The guys wrestle with the motives behind using these drugs, asking whether the desire is rooted in health or in the need for affirmation and praise, and they connect this trend to a broader pattern of wanting outcomes without formation. They emphasize that the body is a temple meant to serve the Lord rather than a trophy to impress others, calling believers to pursue contentment, practice godly discipline, and find lasting identity in Christ rather than in appearance or quick fixes. The conversation ultimately points listeners toward eternal mindedness, reminding them that true freedom and transformation come not from altering the body, but from being shaped by Christ.Send a textThanks for listening!

Retirement is often pictured as the “reward” after decades of hard work—but for many people, it can feel like a confusing emotional shift. What once gave structure, purpose, and identity is suddenly gone. And even though retirement is a blessing, it can still bring feelings of restlessness, loneliness, or even grief. This devotional reminds us that contentment isn’t automatically found in a new season of life—it must be learned and practiced through faith. The Apostle Paul teaches that “godliness with contentment is great gain,” because our true security isn’t in what we earn, own, or accomplish. It’s in the Lord. Retirement is a gift, but it’s not meant to be an ending—it can be a new beginning. A season to reconnect with loved ones, invest in meaningful community, and pursue passions that time never allowed before. Most importantly, it’s a time to refocus our hearts on what lasts eternally. God can meet retirees in this new chapter with fresh purpose, renewed joy, and peace that doesn’t depend on busyness or productivity. Contentment grows when we remember how deeply we are already blessed in Christ. Main Takeaways Retirement is a blessing, but it can still come with unexpected emotional challenges. Contentment is something we learn through trusting God, not something circumstances automatically provide. Our worth and purpose are not tied to our careers or productivity. Retirement can be a meaningful season of growth, relationships, service, and spiritual renewal. God is able to replace discontentment with joy and peace. Today’s Bible Verse “But godliness with contentment is great gain. For we brought nothing into the world, and we can take nothing out of it” (1 Timothy 6:6-7).

First, God the Father had this little book. Then He gave it to His Son, Jesus Christ, who alone could open it. And then He gave it to an angel, who gave it to John who was supposed to eat it. Discover what's behind this curious book as we come to the end of the Great Tribulation.
Did you know the Bible has more scriptures about finances than about heaven and hell? Faith in the area of finances is the least use of our faith (Luke 16:10). If we can't trust God with our money, how can we expect to be able to trust Him with greater things? Join Andrew in this series of Charis chapel hours and discover how exercising your faith in the “least” can unlock faith for that which is greater.
Dear Humans, Donald Trump's polls are collapsing across the board, and Harry Enten came in with the numbers like a man holding a toilet brush. Every major pollster is showing second-term lows, and the big headline is simple: he's doing worse now than he was at the same point in term one, and independents are abandoning him even harder. On today's episode of The God Show, Jesus and I walked through the data and why it's getting so much worse. We also covered: The "no floor" problem and how Trump's second term is now polling worse than his first Independents collapsing on him, and why losing the center means you lose everything God returning from vacation and immediately failing to actually rest, because of course A quick recap of the "Pam Bondi day" insanity and why the lies just keep multiplying A clip that goes straight for the throat on ICE and the masked paramilitary reality of what's happening right now The Gavin Newsom discourse and why people are not obligated to accept a corporate anointed candidate How the "big tent" always somehow excludes the left while tolerating near-Republicans The depressing midterm crystal-ball thread and why despair is spreading even among the most engaged people Notification chaos: missing live alerts, spam filters, and why you may need to set your own daily 2 p.m. alarm A rapid-fire CTA lesson from Jesus on actually telling people what to do, plainly Ben Palmer (Illegal Immigrant Report troll hero) confirmed for Thursday We will never give up.

Our culture has undervalued the significance of regularly gathering together for meals in our homes—something that impacts the spiritual formation of our families and the unfolding purposes of God. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses three biblical passages where Jesus teaches His audience "table manners": what it means to be a host or guest in someone's home. Hospitality, humility, and mercy are crucial components of expressing our faith, especially around the kitchen table, and Pastor Allen stresses the importance of valuing people and their invitations. God is inviting us to a more vivid faith—how will we respond?
