Send us a textWhat did first-century believers actually understand about demonic forces and spiritual warfare? Join The Remnant Radio for an illuminating conversation with Clinton E. Arnold, PhD, Dean and Professor of New Testament at Talbot School of Theology, as we delve into the realities of spiritual warfare. In this episode, we'll explore themes from Dr. Arnold's book Powers of Darkness: Principalities & Powers in Paul's Letters, unpacking what the Apostle Paul teaches about demonic forces, supernatural empowerment, and the role of magic in the first century. Dr. Arnold sheds light on how first-century Greek, Roman, and Jewish beliefs intersect with the biblical worldview, demonstrating that the New Testament portrays principalities and powers as organized, personal beings defeated by Jesus at the cross and ultimately subdued at His return. We'll also discuss the implications for contemporary Christians, including practical guidance for standing firm against spiritual forces of evil. As both a New Testament scholar and Dean of Talbot School of Theology, Dr. Arnold bridges the gap between academic research and practical application, helping us understand how to engage in spiritual warfare with biblical wisdom and historical insight. Whether you're seeking to better understand the spiritual battle described in Scripture or to engage thoughtfully with the challenges of modern occult practices, this episode is a must-watch for anyone desiring to navigate the unseen with biblical clarity. Join us for this crucial conversation that brings biblical, scholarly insight to spiritual warfare. Book: https://a.co/d/ccM9zTW 

Welcome to The Times of Israel's Daily Briefing, your 20-minute audio update on what's happening in Israel, the Middle East and the Jewish world. Military reporter Emanuel Fabian joins host Amanda Borschel-Dan for today's episode. This morning, a “final round” of Gaza truce talks was due to start in Qatar. According to AFP, today’s meetings “are aimed at finalizing the remaining details of the deal,” with the heads of Israel’s intelligence agencies, the Middle East envoys for the incoming and outgoing US administrations, and Qatar’s prime minister present. Mediators are to meet separately with Hamas officials, the source says. Fabian explains what he knows so far about security arrangements that may be put in place in Gaza in the event of a ceasefire. Five Israel Defense Forces soldiers were killed and 10 were wounded in an explosion in northern Gaza on Monday, the military said, raising Israel’s toll in over 15 months of fighting in the Strip to 407. The slain troops were all serving with the Nahal Brigade’s Reconnaissance Unit. On Saturday, four soldiers were killed and six were wounded during fighting, also in the northern Gaza Strip. We hear initial findings about these two terrible incidents. The IDF said Monday it had struck several Hezbollah sites in Lebanon overnight, saying the targets violated the terms of the ceasefire agreement. It said it did so after the international ceasefire monitoring mechanism failed to address them, despite being advised on the matter. This is not the first time -- and it's likely not the last, says Fabian. Yemen’s Iran-backed Houthi rebels launched ballistic missiles within hours of each other on Monday evening and early Tuesday morning, triggering sirens that sent hundreds of thousands of Israelis rushing into shelters. This comes after a Friday night retaliatory attack by the Israeli Air Force against Houthi targets in Yemen. Fabian shares why the Houthis may not yet be deterred. IDF Deputy Chief of Staff Maj. Gen. Amir Baram on Friday notified his commander, IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Herzi Halevi, that he would leave his role as planned at the end of February. Is it because he wants Halevi's job instead?

“‘I don’t know whether he is a sinner,’ the man replied. ‘But I know this: I was blind, and now I can see!’” (John 9:25 NLT) Jesus and His disciples encountered a man who had been blind his entire life. The disciples asked the Lord, “Why was this man born blind? Was it because of his own sins or his parents’ sins?” (verse 2 NLT). That may seem like an odd question about someone who had been blind since birth. But some Jewish people believed that it was possible for unborn babies to sin in the womb. Whatever prompted their question, for the disciples, the man’s blindness was an abstract theological puzzle. They had no real compassion for him. They lacked humility, empathy, and concern. Jesus did not. He explained that the man’s blindness wasn’t the result of his or his parents’ sin. In fact, the man’s blindness gave God an opportunity to work in his life in a way that sighted people would never experience. The apostle Paul makes a similar point in 2 Corinthians 12. Paul had some kind of disability or affliction that hindered his work. He called it a “thorn in my flesh.” Three times he asked God to remove it from him. And three times God said no. “My grace is all you need. My power works best in weakness” (2 Corinthians 12:9 NLT). Our flaws and weaknesses can bring us closer to God if we look at them from the right perspective. They remind us that we need Him. They encourage us to depend on Him. Jesus showed the power of God in the man’s life in a hands-on way. The man’s blindness wasn’t an abstract theological concept to Him. He spit on the ground, made mud with His saliva, and rubbed it on the man’s eyes. He told him to wash off the mud in the pool of Siloam. And when the man did, he could see! The Light of the world led the man out of his literal darkness. You can probably guess on which day of the week the healing occurred: the Sabbath. When the Jewish leaders heard about it, they were—again—outraged. How dare Jesus ignore their religious rules to change someone’s life forever by giving him the ability to see for the first time! Some Pharisees argued that Jesus couldn’t possibly have been sent by God because He worked on the Sabbath. (The man may have been healed of his physical blindness, but their spiritual blindness was still a huge obstacle.) Other Pharisees rightly argued that an ordinary sinner couldn’t perform such a miraculous healing. Things got so absurd that the religious leaders sent for the man’s parents and tried to get them to admit that their son hadn’t been blind at all. The parents carefully avoided the matter. They had been told that anyone who even suggested that Jesus was the Messiah would be kicked out of the synagogue. So the leaders again sent for the formerly blind man. They tried to get him to admit that he’d been healed by an ordinary sinner and not the Messiah. “If this man were not from God, he couldn’t have done it,” the man replied in verse 33 (NLT). The outraged religious leaders threw him out of the synagogue. Their unwillingness to see Jesus for who He really was clouded their judgment in practically every other area of their lives. They couldn’t see—or admit—the obvious. Their pride kept them in spiritual darkness. They had no interest in the light. — Listen to the Greg Laurie Podcast Become a Harvest PartnerSupport the show: https://harvest.org/supportSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Welcome to The Times of Israel's Daily Briefing, your 20-minute audio update on what's happening in Israel, the Middle East and the Jewish world. Political correspondent Tal Schneider and reporter Diana Bletter join host Jessica Steinberg for today's episode. Tensions are high in Israel over the possibility of a proposed hostage deal. Schneider discusses the Sunday phone conversation between Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and US President Joe Biden regarding the negotiations. She also reviews which Israeli officials are currently in Doha, along with Steve Witkoff, President-elect Donald Trump's Middle East envoy.

“Jesus said to the people who believed in him, ‘You are truly my disciples if you remain faithful to my teachings. And you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.’” (John 8:31–32 NLT) Believing in Jesus involves more than just accepting what He says as the truth. It involves being faithful to His teachings; changing not just your priorities, but the way you think and act; and restructuring your life so that it resembles His. That’s the message Jesus sends in John 8. You can’t be a casual disciple. The amazing thing about becoming a disciple is that it doesn’t feel like an obligation; it feels like freedom. When you know the truth about what Jesus offers, you’re set free from the pull of your sinful nature. You have what you need to resist temptation and discover a new way of living. The Jewish leaders who heard Jesus’ offer were unimpressed. “But we are descendants of Abraham . . . We have never been slaves to anyone. What do you mean, ‘You will be set free’?” (verse 33 NLT). That was an odd claim, coming from people whose ancestors had been under the control of the Egyptians, Philistines, Babylonians, Persians, Syrians, and Romans at various times in history. Jesus tried to help them understand that if you sin, you’re a slave to sin because you have no choice in the matter. You have no power to break free from sin’s mastery over you. Only the Son, who enjoys the rights and privileges of being part of God’s family, can free a slave of sin. The Jewish leaders tried to argue that they were part of God’s family, too, because they were descendants of Abraham. Jesus pointed out that He was the litmus test because He was the true Son of God. Since the Jewish leaders were trying to kill Him, they couldn’t claim that God was their father too. If God were truly their father, they would have welcomed Jesus. They would have recognized that He had been sent by God. They would have done everything in their power to assist and support Him. Instead, they showed who their real father was by spreading lies about Him, turning people against Him, questioning His authority, trying to embarrass Him, scheming against Him, and plotting to kill Him. “You are the children of your father the devil,” Jesus told them (verse 44 NLT). Jesus saw these people for who they were: opponents of God’s work and His will. But not everyone could see through their disguise. The same problem exists today. It’s possible for people to be spiritual leaders, to have respect and authority in the eyes of many people, and still be obstacles to God’s real work. Their teachings may seem reasonable, spiritual, and even scriptural to those who aren’t listening closely. That’s why God’s Word instructs us to be discerning and wise, to test everything we hear against the truth of Scripture. — Listen to the Greg Laurie Podcast Become a Harvest PartnerSupport the show: https://harvest.org/supportSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Send us a textIn this episode of State of the Nation, Phillip Rosenberg, President of the Board of Deputies of British Jews, tells us about the challenges facing the British Jewish community in the aftermath of October 7th. At just 38 years old, Rosenberg is the youngest leader in the organization's history and brings fresh perspectives to a community navigating a surge in antisemitism and political extremism in the UK.The conversation explores the rise of hate crimes, the role of interfaith alliances with British Muslims, and the fight to preserve Jewish identity amid mounting pressures.

Rosenberg also shares his optimistic vision for combating extremism and building bridges across communities.

In this episode, Father Genard delves deeply into Acts chapter 13, focusing on St. Paul's sermon and its rich theological implications. He begins by exploring the way St. Paul uses the history of the Jewish people to remind them of God's promises, which were ultimately fulfilled in the person of Jesus Christ. Paul's message is clear: the salvation through Jesus Christ was written in the Old Testament, and although the Jewish leaders and people condemned Christ, this was part of God's perfect plan for salvation. Father Genard emphasizes that Jesus, despite being crucified by the ignorance and pride of others, voluntarily gave Himself up to death in order to destroy death once and for all. He points out that while humanity's attempts at salvation through the law failed, Jesus' death and resurrection brought true salvation to all who believe. Father Genard highlights that Jesus' resurrection was not only a miraculous event but a testament to His divinity, as He Himself had the power to raise His body from the dead. This resurrection, which was witnessed by many, confirms the truth of Jesus' mission. The apostle Paul also proclaims that the promises made to the fathers were fulfilled through Jesus, who is the true Son of God, as evidenced in the Psalms. The episode also touches on the importance of not disregarding the Old Testament and its prophecies about Jesus, especially in the light of misunderstandings and dismissals of the prophets by some Christians. Father Genard strongly asserts that Jesus is not just a great teacher or prophet but the divine Son of God, pre-existent and eternal, who took on human flesh to restore humanity to its rightful relationship with the Father. In closing, Father Genard reminds us that through Jesus' death and resurrection, we are no longer bound by the law but have been offered new life through faith in Christ and baptism. This is the ultimate word of salvation, and it is only through Christ that we have hope for eternal life.

We're breaking down Jesus' first miracle at the wedding in Cana in this week's conversation.First, Mary says to Jesus, “They have no wine.” This may seem like a mundane detail of the text, but, as Sarah Stenson teaches us, it reveals Mary's faith in Jesus and prompts us to ask how we can take that same mindset into prayer. Then we discuss the purpose of miracles. If Jesus came to become sin, take our sin away from us, forgive us, and give us new life, why does he do miracles? CONFIRMATION Does your church have a confirmation class?

A machloket between Abaye and Rava with regard to conspiring witnesses -- whether such a witness is disqualified from that moment onward, or also retroactively for any previous testimony. Note also that this is one of the rare (6) cases where the Halakhah follows Abaye instead of Rava. Also, the disqualifications based on close family relationships. Plus, another version of the list -- Rabbi Akiva's simpler list, which is not used as such. Plus, love and hate may disqualify, just on the strength of those emotions, it would seem. Until the Gemara posits that the Jewish people would not stoop to that kind of bias.

Homo Temporalis: German Jewish Thinkers on Time (Cornell UP, 2025) tells the story of a group of twentieth-century Jewish intellectuals who grappled ceaselessly with concepts of time and temporality. The project brings into dialogue key thinkers, including the philosopher of religion Martin Buber, the critical theorist Walter Benjamin, the political scientist Hannah Arendt, and the poet Paul Celan, who stand at the center of our contemporary understanding of religion, critical theory, politics, and literature. All four, and many colleagues around them who identified with their approaches saw time—not space—as the key to their individual and collective experience, rejecting definitions of self based on borders, territory, or geographic/national origin. Following their path teaches us about three “temporal turns”: In the early 1900s, between1933-1945, and ours, in the early 2000s.

In this episode, Rob and Vinnie continue their overview of the book of Galatians by looking at Paul's response to his opponents in Galatia. Paul explains that membership into the community of God's people is not through the "works of the Law" but by Faith in Christ. He then notes that this is what was preached to Abraham! Paul even says that "the Gospel" was preached to Abraham (Gal 3:8).  Rob and Vinnie then discuss what this means for the Jewish people today. And what about Muslims and Hindus who come to faith in Christ.  Please "follow" this podcast and give a review on iTunes, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts.

"The general idea of this letter is to demonstrate that Jesus amply fulfills all the highest conceptions of the Jewish religion, and is infinitely superior to any predecessors... There is, therefore, for those who belong to Christ far greater privilege in knowing God, but far greater responsibility in serving him loyally".

Soloveitchik and Rav Kook lay the groundwork for our different religious communities today?How does religious life in Israel compare with America?How have religious Israeli women's attitudes toward army service evolved over the years?Tune in to hear a conversation about how deeply Jewish practice and spirituality penetrate everyday life in Israel's religious communities.Rabbanit Shayna Goldberg teaches Israeli and American post-high school students and is the mashgicha ruchanit in the Stella K.

Homo Temporalis: German Jewish Thinkers on Time (Cornell UP, 2025) tells the story of a group of twentieth-century Jewish intellectuals who grappled ceaselessly with concepts of time and temporality. The project brings into dialogue key thinkers, including the philosopher of religion Martin Buber, the critical theorist Walter Benjamin, the political scientist Hannah Arendt, and the poet Paul Celan, who stand at the center of our contemporary understanding of religion, critical theory, politics, and literature. All four, and many colleagues around them who identified with their approaches saw time—not space—as the key to their individual and collective experience, rejecting definitions of self based on borders, territory, or geographic/national origin. Following their path teaches us about three “temporal turns”: In the early 1900s, between1933-1945, and ours, in the early 2000s. Nitzan Lebovic is a professor of history and the Apter Chair of Holocaust Studies and Ethical Values at Lehigh University. Nitzan is the author of The Philosophy of Life and Death: Ludwig Klages and the Rise of a Nazi Biopolitics (2013), Zionism and Melancholy: The short Life of Israel Zarchi (2019), and Homo Temporalis: Martin Buber, Walter Benjamin, Hannah Arendt, and Paul Celan about Time (2025). Nitzan is the co-editor of Catastrophes: The History and Theory of an Operative Concept (2014) and Nihilism and the State of Israel: New Critical Perspectives (2014), and edited special issues about political theology, nihilism, and biopolitics.

Welcome to a new season of In the Word with Malcolm Webber! This year we're starting off with Malcolm's exposition of Paul's letter to the Colossians. In this letter, Paul highlights the divine Person and redemptive work of Christ, against the backdrop of a particular heresy that threatens the church at Colossae.The Colossian heresy blended Christianity together with Jewish legalism, Greek philosophic speculation, and Oriental mysticism. This joining of religions together in exotic hybrids is happening today in both Eastern and Western countries with the increasing “globalization” of religion. Paul's corrections are vitally pertinent to us today. In the Word with Malcolm Webber is a weekly podcast featuring selected teachings from Dr. Webber's over 40 years of ministry. Find more teachings, along with books, courses, tools, and other resources from Dr. Webber at our website.Related Resources from LeaderSource* Book: The Preeminence and All-Sufficiency of Jesus Christ* Audio Teaching: What Does It Mean to Abide in Christ?* For More Teaching on Common Errors: Malcolm's Musings * Email Course: Who Jesus Christ IsCheck out more messages from Malcolm: This is a public episode.

In the first half, author Dr. Ken Hanson discussed the mysterious sect known as the Essenes and the Book of Enoch, an ancient text that came to light when the Dead Sea Scrolls were discovered. In 1946, a Bedouin shepherd stumbled upon the ancient scrolls containing what is now understood to be an "ancient library of Hebrew texts." This library is believed to be linked to the Essenes, an ancient Jewish group that diverged from mainstream Judaism, he explained. The main branch of Judaism focused on the temple and law, while the Essenes centered their beliefs on stories of fallen angels and the end of days.He expressed a shift in his understanding of the Essenes, suggesting they may have had a more significant influence on early Christianity than previously thought, as Jesus' teachings resonate more with the Essene beliefs than with Temple Judaism, he noted. Hanson pointed out parallels between the Book of Enoch and the writings of the ancient historian Josephus. "The Essenes cultivated arts of healing" such as using roots and spells in the same type of language that Josephus described.Hanson marveled at the discovery of the Essenes' gate in Jerusalem, in the same location where it's thought Jesus went on trial. Speaking of connections between the Dead Sea Scrolls and the Book of Revelation, he said that one of the scrolls was called the "War Scroll," and it detailed "seven apocalyptic battles between good and evil." While three battles are won by the "sons of light," and three are won by the "sons of darkness" (the fallen angels), the ultimate victory comes from divine intervention.----------Spiritual teacher Lorna Byrne has touched the lives of people around the world with her work on angels. In the latter half, she shared her profound insights, and how angels guide and support individuals, regardless of their religious beliefs. "From the moment I opened my eyes, I saw angels," she recalled, explaining how, as a toddler, she felt a deep love and connection with them. Byrne emphasized that each person is accompanied by a guardian angel, stating, "To your guardian angel, you are its number one." She reassured listeners that these celestial beings never leave our side and are here to guide us through challenges.The conversation also delved into the concept of "unemployed angels," which Byrne described as angels waiting to assist those in need. "They are pouring down from heaven, waiting for us to ask for a helping hand," she said, highlighting their readiness to support us in everyday tasks. To connect with one's guardian angel, she advised asking for signs, with feathers being a common symbol of their presence.Byrne also urged listeners to expand their prayer practices beyond personal needs. "Can you pray for the stranger as well?" she asked, pointing out the importance of praying for those who cannot pray for themselves. She believes a simple prayer can have transformative effects, and the prayer you say for a stranger may save a life or mean more than you know. People can also reach out to what she called a "rosemantic" angel for help finding love or a relationship, she added.

Welcome to The Times of Israel's Daily Briefing, your 20-minute audio update on what's happening in Israel, the Middle East and the Jewish world. Legal reporter Jeremy Sharon joins host Amanda Borschel-Dan for today's episode. Late last week, almost two years exactly to the unveiling of the initial judicial overhaul legislative package, Justice Minister Yariv Levin and Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar unveiled a far-reaching package of changes to Israel’s judicial system which would increase political power over judicial appointments and curb the High Court’s ability to strike down legislation. The new package would stop short of some measures that sparked massive anti-government protests in 2023, but are potentially just a beginning. We unravel the new initiative and try to understand its implications. The High Court of Justice on Friday gave the state until the end of January to explain what steps it was taking to maximize Haredi enlistment to the Israel Defense Forces and to penalize draft dodgers.The instruction came in response to several petitions calling for the immediate conscription of all previously exempt ultra-Orthodox men. We learn about the court's impatience with the government's lack of action on this flashpoint issue. For news updates, please check out The Times of Israel’s ongoing live blog. Discussed articles include: Overhaul redux: Levin’s ‘compromise’ proposal would again radically constrain the judiciary Levin, Sa’ar unveil new judicial overhaul plan; wary opposition heads hold off response High Court orders state to clarify plans to draft Haredim, penalize dodgers Subscribe to The Times of Israel Daily Briefing on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, or wherever you get your podcasts.

Historically, the Song of Solomon is a love song composed by Solomon to tell the story of the love between him and his gentile bride. Theologically, the book is a picture of the love relationship between Christ and his gentile bride, the Church. The first chapter is an example of how Solomon defines the relationship between him and his bride. The book is known as the “song of songs” because Solomon believes it's the greatest love song ever written. The song tells the story of this couple's love and how it developed step by step from the moment they met. Within the song, we find the story of Christ's love for His bride and how He defines the relationship with us. Solomon represents Jesus. Both Solomon and Jesus are said to be “Shepherd Kings.” Solomon's Shulamite bride represents us. The Church is the bride of Christ! Solomon is a picture of our Jewish bridegroom, while the Shulamite represents the Church—the gentile bride of Christ. The book uses several word pictures to illustrate God's design for sex and sexuality: Vineyard The Shulamite woman admitted to not guarding her own “vineyard,” meaning she had not kept her sexual purity. Sun-darkened skin The Shulamite carried the stigma of her sin on her skin, which was darkened from her work in the sun. As a picture of Christ, Solomon redeemed his bride from her sin, her shame, and her pain. In Christ, we are cleansed completely of our sins. It's time to define the relationship! Jesus isn't looking for a casual “dating” relationship—He's looking for a bride! As the Bridegroom, Jesus has said “I DO” to you. It's time for you to say “I DO” too!

Due to evacuating from the Los Angeles fires, for the first time ever in our 5 year run as a show, we were unable to deliver a new weekly episode. Instead, please enjoy this unlocked bonus episode from our Patreon vaults of one of our favorite things we watched in 2024. We are actually working on our special 5 year anniversary roundup/clip show, so we'll be back soon with brand new content. Thanks so much for your support! --- One of the most bizarre and singular pieces of Christian media we've ever watched is this dreamlike documentary from the minds of father/daughter writer/director team Derek and Vanessa Frank, who assembled some of the biggest names in Christian film history to shake the Protestant Reformation down to the “demonic conspiracy” at its very core:  the anti-Semitic teachings of Martin Luther and John Calvin. In LET THE LION ROAR, Kevin Sorbo, Stephen Baldwin, Eric Roberts, John Schneider, and young up-and-comer Ben Davies star as 16th-century European historical figures who don funny hats and monologue their virulently anti-Semitic views to the camera for extended scenes, some lasting for several minutes at a time. Writer Derek Frank believes that the major weakness  that plagues Protestantism is its insufficient respect for the Jewish faith and an unwillingness for the Christian church to become fully “grafted into Israel.” Mr. Frank has written five more “theses,” to add to Martin Luther's famous 95 Theses of 1517, that propose full deference to Jews from Protestants that he hopes will heal Christianity and save it from vague, unitarian sluggishness that he reads as weakness. This is an ambitious and extremely boring goal to try to sell to an audience, but the Franks make it fun with uncanny corporate stock footage and a series of costume changes that make Derek Frank look like the Architect from The Matrix, if that character were a hardcore Zionist. In general, Derek Frank's extreme passion for his case of “finishing” the Protestant Reformation is what sells this documentary — he gazes directly at the audience severely like a cat that has just cornered a mouse and wants to talk to it about Israel for an hour before dealing the death blow that will wipe it out of existence forever. The Lion of Judah is a lion after all, and Derek Frank teaches us that to hammer your point home, you must approach your argument with the ferocity of an apex predator.
