Podcast appearances and mentions of John Luke

Al, Zach, Christian, and John Luke are joined by Dr. Justin Jackson of Hillsdale College, teacher of the Genesis course they've been studying for weeks. The guys debate over who's the current “fat brother” now that Al has lost weight, and wild parenting stories of Robertson teens flipping trucks, stabbing couches, and launching fireworks inside the bath house have them questioning their parenting choices. Dr. Jackson helps the guys trace themes of poetry, politics, and thought-provoking theories throughout Genesis.  In this episode: Genesis 4, verses 6–7; Genesis 18, verses 10–15; Genesis 21, verses 1–7; Matthew 5, verses 23–24; 1 Peter 2, verse 9; Ephesians 6, verse 4 Today's conversation is an overview of The Genesis Story: Reading Biblical Narratives taught by Hillsdale Professor Justin Jackson.

Uncle Si has come down with a massive, miserable sinus infection—but Jay Stone was there when he caught it, and the two of them had an absolute blast in the process. John-David loses it over a hilarious new nickname making the rounds in the Duckmen crew.

Al and Zach kick things off by playfully debating the biggest Robertson “tattletale,” with Jase catching most of the friendly fire. Christian Huff admits he's not a fighter, and John Luke says he might be able to take his younger, much bigger brother, Will. The guys trace Joseph's story, from the colorful coat that annoyed his eleven brothers to the Egypt years. John Luke reflects on Joseph's naïveté throughout his journey, from being sold into slavery as revenge to becoming one of the most powerful men in Egypt. Zach illustrates how a family feud becomes a family rescue and how this line ultimately sets the stage for Jesus, the Lion of Judah. In this episode: Genesis 1, verse 28; Genesis 9, verse 1; Genesis 37–50; Genesis 42; Genesis 45, verses 3–7; Exodus 1, verses 1–7; Revelation 5, verses 1–6 Today's conversation is about lesson 6 of The Genesis Story: Reading Biblical Narratives taught by Hillsdale Professor Justin Jackson.

Al, Zach, Christian Huff, and John Luke open up with some family confessions about who the true “favorite” Robertson sibling and grandchild really is. That leads to Genesis 25, where Jacob and Esau's clash over birthright and blessing mirrors the dangers of picking favorites and the pain of sibling rivalry. The guys dig into what it means that God shows no favoritism, why Jacob and Esau's story is really about nations more than individuals, and how grace and forgiveness will always win out.

Even some of Phil's youngest family members are taking up his quest for Truth: 4-year-old Ruth, Zach's daughter, gets a little mixed up about who actually died on the cross, and 7-year-old Pearl, Al's granddaughter, has no problem fact-checking him in front of the whole church. Al, Zach, Christian Huff, and John Luke dive into Genesis 22 and show that Abraham and Isaac's test of faith wasn't a blind leap but a reasoned trust anchored in God's promise. They explore worship as obedient trust—not theatrics. In this episode: Genesis 22; Hebrews 11, verses 17–19; Romans 4; James 2, verses 14–24; Acts 2, verse 38; Romans 6; 1 Corinthians 6; 2 Chronicles 3, verse 1; John 2 Today's conversation is about lesson 4 of The Genesis Story: Reading Biblical Narratives taught by Hillsdale Professor Justin Jackson.

Abraham's story shows how God builds a nation through faith, not shortcuts. Al, Zach, John Luke, and Christian continue their study of Genesis, tracing the tension between Sarah's quick fix with Hagar and God's covenant promise, revealing how Abraham's failures paved the way for his legendary faith. The guys connect Babel's downfall, Sarah's ambiguous laughter, and Abraham's silence to the birth of Israel, highlighting why trust in God always outlasts our schemes.

John Luke can't help blurting out “Ew, dude, that's my sister” when his brother-in-law Christian Huff dives deep into the Genesis account of marriage and nakedness. Together they explore the four key relationships outlined in the creation story, why God said it's not good for man to be alone, and how marriage reflects the Trinity itself.

Read OnlineAll who heard these things took them to heart, saying, “What, then, will this child be?” For surely the hand of the Lord was with him. The child grew and became strong in spirit, and he was in the desert until the day of his manifestation to Israel. Luke 1:65–66John the Baptist was formed by the hand of the Lord. Saint Thomas Aquinas goes so far as to say that John was sanctified in the womb of his mother, Elizabeth, as is written: “He will be filled with the holy Spirit even from his mother's womb” (Luke 1:15). From the moment that the Blessed Virgin Mary greeted Elizabeth and John leaped for joy, the hand of the Lord was upon John, making him holy and leading him to the fulfillment of God's holy will.John's early life is not recorded for us, other than in the passage quoted above. We are told that he “grew and became strong in spirit, and he was in the desert until the day of his manifestation to Israel.” We should see in this passage the truth that John was not only sanctified within the womb of his mother but that, throughout his childhood and on into adulthood, he remained deeply united to God and was filled with the Holy Spirit.Today we honor one particular aspect of John's life—his birth. We know that he was blessed to not only be born into the blessed family of Elizabeth and Zechariah but that the Blessed Virgin Mary, the Mother of God, was also his relative and was present at his birth. Zechariah, his father, gave him the name “John” even though it would have been the custom to call him Zechariah after his father. Zechariah did this in obedience to the Archangel Gabriel, who appeared to him prior to John's birth and instructed him to do so.Great mystery and excitement surrounded the birth of John, and there is little doubt that those who were present at his birth would have been caught up in the intrigue and hope of who he would become. And John didn't disappoint. It was of him that Jesus one day would say, “I tell you, among those born of women, no one is greater than John…” (Luke 7:28).Though you may not have had the privilege of being sanctified in the womb of your mother, or to have had your father receive a revelation from the Archangel Gabriel prior to your birth, you are, nonetheless, called to be guided by the hand of the Lord each and every day. God wants you to become “strong in spirit” so that you can fulfill the unique will given to you. We honor the great saints, in part, because they give us an example of how to live. For that reason, we must see in each of their lives the model to which we must conform. The primary witness set by Saint John the Baptist is that he was unwaveringly obedient to God and to being formed by His hand. The result was the glorious fulfillment of his unique mission in life, all the way to giving his life as a martyr. Reflect, today, upon the very real fact that, though you were not sanctified in the womb, you were sanctified by Baptism. From there, you were strengthened by the Spirit through Confirmation and are regularly fed by the Most Holy Eucharist. In many ways, you are just as blessed as John.Reflect upon the simple yet profound fact that God wants to use you for His holy mission. He gives to you some particular mission He has not entrusted to another. Say “Yes” to that mission today so that you, too, will be seen as “great” in the Kingdom of Heaven.Lord of all greatness, You sanctified Saint John the Baptist in the womb, and You continued to pour forth Your grace upon him throughout his life. He responded to You and fulfilled his glorious mission. I thank You for the sanctification given to me by my Baptism and strengthened through Confirmation and the Holy Eucharist. Help me to be open to all the graces You wish to bestow so that I may fulfill the unique mission given to me.

Luke: The Advent | The Birth of John | Luke 1:57-80 Sermon from December 15, 2024– Deron Spoo, Pastor   Part 3 of 5 of the series The Advent

December 8th, 2024 | Speaker: Kyle Collins There is something that happens in our worship that overflows to others. This is true in specific moments of worship but it's also true of our lives. The post Advent: Adore | Mary, Elizabeth, and John Luke appeared first on Pulpit Rock Church in Colorado Springs.

Zechariah and Elizabeth were righteous in God's eyes, careful to obey all of the Lord's commandments and regulations. (Luke 1:6 NLT) Zechariah and Elizabeth had a problem. She hadn't been able to conceive a child. In their culture, if a woman couldn't conceive a child, then she would be described as barren and unfruitful. And sometimes people even said that it was a curse from God. There may have been people who said, “I don't know about Zechariah and Elizabeth. After all, she is barren, isn't she? If she really was walking with the Lord, perhaps she would have had a child at this point.” Of course, we know this was an incorrect view. But it was a perception of the day. The truth was that Zechariah and Elizabeth were godly people. Luke 1:6 tells us, “Zechariah and Elizabeth were righteous in God's eyes, careful to obey all of the Lord's commandments and regulations” (NLT). This doesn't mean they never sinned; it meant they had a good reputation. And unbeknownst to them, God was about to give them a child—and not just any child. He was going to give them a prophet—and not just any prophet. They would be the parents of the greatest prophet to ever live: John the Baptist. Sometimes a person may be suffering outwardly, but inwardly they are blessed. And as time passes, it becomes apparent that God was preparing that individual. For instance, maybe you are suffering today. It just may be that God is preparing you for something wonderful He will do in your life. God heard the prayers of Zechariah and Elizabeth. The angel Gabriel appeared to Zechariah as he served in the temple and said, “Don't be afraid, Zechariah! God has heard your prayer. Your wife, Elizabeth, will give you a son, and you are to name him John” (Luke 1:13 NLT). God was about to deliver on the promise of a Messiah and His forerunner. From the original language, it appears that God heard the prayer Zechariah was praying at that moment. Maybe the aged priest walked in and said, “Lord, I know I'm here to do a job. I know I'm here to pray for the people. And I'm going to do that. But if you wouldn't mind a personal petition, Lord, please give us a son. I know we're old. But would You answer this prayer and give us a son?” We don't know what Zechariah prayed. But we do know that his prayer was heard in Heaven. In the same way, our prayers on Earth are heard in Heaven. God promises that if we call out to Him, He will hear and answer. Psalm 34:15 tells us, “The eyes of the Lord watch over those who do right; his ears are open to their cries for help” (NLT). He is listening. Speaking to the prophet Jeremiah, God said, “Ask me and I will tell you remarkable secrets you do not know about things to come” (Jeremiah 33:3 NLT). God hears you. God loves you. And God pays attention to you. But know this: He will answer you in His way and in His time. — Listen to the Greg Laurie Podcast Become a Harvest PartnerSupport the show: https://harvest.org/supportSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Discussion QuestionsSermon Overview God always accomplishes his purposes even when they seem impossible to us.1. Humble Virgin Birth (vs 26-27 & 34-35)2. Forever King (vs 32)3. Jesus, the Son of God (vs. 35)Digging Deeper    Read Luke 1:26-38In the passage today, Mary is promised a son named Jesus. Last week, Elizabeth was promised a son named John (Luke 1:5-25). How is Mary's trust in God heightened when read in light of Zeheriah's failure to trust God? In each story, a son is promised. How is Jesus' supremacy over John highlighted in the text?  God always accomplishes his purposes even when they seem impossible to us.1. This passage reminds us that our God always accomplishes his purposes. How has this truth brought comfort and/or courage to you?   2. Is there an example in your life of God accomplishing that which seemed impossible?  Please share.Humble Virgin Birth (vs 26-27 & 34-35)1. This passage contains echoes of Isaiah 7:10-17. There the prophet Isaiah foretold, “Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.” (Is. 7:14).  How does Jesus' birth bring to fulfillment what Isaiah had foretold hundreds of years earlier? What is a takeaway for us in this? 2. Theologically, what is the significance of the virgin birth of Christ? Why is it important that we hold fast to this teaching?  3. “And the angel answered her, “The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you; therefore the child to be born will be called holy—the Son of God.” (Luke 1:35) What is the significance of the “therefore” in v. 35? How does the nature of Jesus' birth make him uniquely fit to be our Redeemer?  Forever King (vs 32)1. Please read 2 Sam. 7:12-17. Then read Luke 1:32-33. Why do you think God (through Luke) wants us to know that Jesus is the long-awaited offspring of David, who will reign forever?  (cf. 2 Sam. 7:12-17)  Mary's response to all that is spoken to her (“Behold, I am the servant of the Lord; let it be to me according to your word.” [v.38]), is an example of humble trust and submission. In what area of your life do you need to ask God for the grace to respond in a similar way? Please share.Is there someone in your life with whom you could share the Good News about Jesus this Christmas season? Prayer

Christian invites Willie and John Luke Robertson, as well as Duck Commander COO Jeffrey Kent, to explore the deep spiritual well of the book of Romans. Willie pulls several great pieces of wisdom from his most recent book, “Gospeler,” including how to use your individual gifts to reach people for the Lord that are otherwise unreachable. Jeffrey paints a vivid picture of the history of Rome as an empire and how it affected the history of the entire world, even Jesus' time on earth. Christian and John Luke seek answers about the substance of the Gospel and how our pasts don't necessarily have to define our futures. This episode of 4:8 Men is sponsored by: https://www.covenanteyes.com/huff — Try Covenant Eyes FREE for 30 days https://drinkag1.com/huff — Get a FREE 1-year supply of Vitamin D3+K2 & 5 FREE AG1 travel packs with your first purchase!-

Read OnlineAll who heard these things took them to heart, saying, “What, then, will this child be?” For surely the hand of the Lord was with him. The child grew and became strong in spirit, and he was in the desert until the day of his manifestation to Israel. Luke 1:65–66John the Baptist was formed by the hand of the Lord. Saint Thomas Aquinas goes so far as to say that John was sanctified in the womb of his mother, Elizabeth, as is written: “He will be filled with the holy Spirit even from his mother's womb” (Luke 1:15). From the moment that the Blessed Virgin Mary greeted Elizabeth and John leaped for joy, the hand of the Lord was upon John, making him holy and leading him to the fulfillment of God's holy will.John's early life is not recorded for us, other than in the passage quoted above. We are told that he “grew and became strong in spirit, and he was in the desert until the day of his manifestation to Israel.” We should see in this passage the truth that John was not only sanctified within the womb of his mother but that, throughout his childhood and on into adulthood, he remained deeply united to God and was filled with the Holy Spirit.Today we honor one particular aspect of John's life—his birth. We know that he was blessed to not only be born into the blessed family of Elizabeth and Zechariah but that the Blessed Virgin Mary, the Mother of God, was also his relative and was present at his birth. Zechariah, his father, gave him the name “John” even though it would have been the custom to call him Zechariah after his father. Zechariah did this in obedience to the Archangel Gabriel, who appeared to him prior to John's birth and instructed him to do so.Great mystery and excitement surrounded the birth of John, and there is little doubt that those who were present at his birth would have been caught up in the intrigue and hope of who he would become. And John didn't disappoint. It was of him that Jesus one day would say, “I tell you, among those born of women, no one is greater than John…” (Luke 7:28).Though you may not have had the privilege of being sanctified in the womb of your mother, or to have had your father receive a revelation from the Archangel Gabriel prior to your birth, you are, nonetheless, called to be guided by the hand of the Lord each and every day. God wants you to become “strong in spirit” so that you can fulfill the unique will given to you. We honor the great saints, in part, because they give us an example of how to live. For that reason, we must see in each of their lives the model to which we must conform. The primary witness set by Saint John the Baptist is that he was unwaveringly obedient to God and to being formed by His hand. The result was the glorious fulfillment of his unique mission in life, all the way to giving his life as a martyr.Reflect, today, upon the very real fact that, though you were not sanctified in the womb, you were sanctified by Baptism. From there, you were strengthened by the Spirit through Confirmation and are regularly fed by the Most Holy Eucharist. In many ways, you are just as blessed as John. Reflect upon the simple yet profound fact that God wants to use you for His holy mission. He gives to you some particular mission He has not entrusted to another. Say “Yes” to that mission today so that you, too, will be seen as “great” in the Kingdom of Heaven. Lord of all greatness, You sanctified Saint John the Baptist in the womb, and You continued to pour forth Your grace upon him throughout his life. He responded to You and fulfilled his glorious mission. I thank You for the sanctification given to me by my Baptism and strengthened through Confirmation and the Holy Eucharist. Help me to be open to all the graces You wish to bestow so that I may fulfill the unique mission given to me. Jesus, I trust in You.Source of content: catholic-daily-reflections.comCopyright © 2024 My Catholic Life! Inc. All rights reserved.

Dr. Tom Curran asks his two sons, John Mark and John Luke, questions about their first year in college: How did you experience the presence of God? What was the most surprising thing about college life? What was your biggest disappointment about college life? What's it like being back home for summer break?

In this episode, Brady Blasdel explains how God helped him notice and have compassion for those that were hurting and far from God in his community. As a pastor in the whitest denomination in America living in the most diverse city in America, that meant that it was a unique and culturally diverse learning experience.In this podcast, you'll hear about how:Brady realized his predominantly white congregation was surrounded by non-English speaking individuals and saw it as an opportunity to serve the community.Brady's experience with a mall micro church led by John Luke shaped his perspective on the importance of a smaller, more inclusive approach to church.Brady witnessed the transformation of a church from white pastors to African American pastors, inspiring the successful transition of his own church to a unified Anglo-Hispanic congregation.

Christian, John Luke, Parker, Reeves and Luke dive into James' challenge to believers to supplement and nourish their faith with good works.
