Enemy love is evidence of authentic faith, v. 43-45 2 Kings 6:20-232. Enemy love is how God loves, v. 45b-47Two questions we have to answer today… a) who do you love? v. 46 b) who do you greet? v. 473. Enemy love is God's nature, v. 48 a) Jesus incites a pre-evangelistic despair that prepares us for the gospel. b) You don't need a relationship with God just for forgiveness; you need a relationship with Christ for capacity. Mental worship… 1. Do you feel capable of loving your enemies? 2. What is different about the way you love and greet from the way non-Christians love and greet? 3. Is there a “moreness” to the way you live?  4. What is a first step you could take this week towards enemy love?  5. Do you see God's commands through the lens of His promise?  6. Who do you spend time with that is like looking in a funhouse mirror?

    In this episode of the Jewish Inspiration Podcast, Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe continues in the Gate of Remembrance from Orchos Tzaddikim (Day 104, top of page 611), presenting three daily remembrances to sharpen spiritual awareness. The tenth calls for a daily accounting: Did you follow your yetzer hara (evil inclination) or your Yotzer (Creator)? He urges listeners to serve Hashem more than themselves, and if they've fallen short until now, to begin immediately with full effort. The eleventh contrasts the frantic energy people pour into earning money—waking early, obsessing day and night, and valuing only business connections—with the minimal effort often given to the soul, which is eternal. Rabbi Wolbe shares a personal anecdote about a donor who offered charity only in exchange for business leads, highlighting how worldly pursuits can corrupt even good deeds. He warns that wealth often brings more harm than happiness and is ultimately temporary, while the soul's enrichment lasts forever.The twelfth remembrance is that Hashem sees and knows everything—every thought, intention, and private moment. Just as one prepares meticulously (haircut, fine clothing) to stand before a king or the Supreme Court, how much more should we prepare to stand 24/7 before the King of Kings? Rabbi Wolbe cites Joseph dressing properly before Pharaoh and a former secular hostage who began praying Shema daily in a dark bunker, proving closeness to Hashem is possible anywhere. The episode closes with a bonus reflection on truth in Torah and life: multiple perspectives can be valid (elu v'elu divrei Elokim chayim), as in marriage, parenting, or halacha. Parents must honor each child's unique path (chanoch l'na'ar al pi darko), recognizing different gifts and challenges without comparison or unfair expectations.Recorded at TORCH Centre in the Levin Family Studios (B) to a live audience on March 24, 2025, in Houston, Texas.Released as Podcast on November 16, 2025_____________This series on Orchos Tzadikim/Ways of the Righteous is produced in partnership with Hachzek.Join the revolution of daily Mussar study at hachzek.com.We are using the Treasure of Life edition of the Orchos Tzadikkim (Published by Feldheim)_____________Listen, Subscribe & Share: Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/jewish-inspiration-podcast-rabbi-aryeh-wolbe/id1476610783Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4r0KfjMzmCNQbiNaZBCSU7) to stay inspired! Share your questions at aw@torchweb.org or visit torchweb.org for more Torah content.  _____________About the Host:Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe, Director of TORCH in Houston, brings decades of Torah scholarship to guide listeners in applying Jewish wisdom to daily life.  To directly send your questions, comments, and feedback, please email: awolbe@torchweb.org_____________Support Our Mission:Our Mission is Connecting Jews & Judaism.

    SHOW NOTES   In Podcast Episode 349, “Be Careful to Live in Obedience to God,” Kim discusses the difference between the legacies of the kings Uzziah and his son Jotham. King Jotham made one choice his father obviously did not, at least when their power continued to grow: “he was careful to live in obedience to the Lord his God.” Let's all learn from his example and determine how to be more careful in our lives.   Our focal passage for this episode is 2 Chronicles 27:1-9, with 6 as the focal verse, compared to 2 Chronicles 26:16:   6 King Jotham became powerful because he was careful to live in obedience to the Lord his God.   16 But when he had become powerful, he also became proud, which led to his downfall. He sinned against the Lord his God by entering the sanctuary of the Lord's Temple and personally burning incense on the incense altar.      WEEKLY ENGAGEMENT FEATURE:   In which area of your life do you need to be more careful to live in obedience to God?   Consistently Make Wise Choices Avoid Personal Danger Zones Reset on a Regular Basis Expect More from Yourself Each Day Fail Forward Use the Tools You Have Available Live a Life Worthy of Being the Lord's Ambassador.     Additional Resources and Scriptures:   EMAIL — encouragingothersinlovingjesus@gmail.com X - https://x.com/eoinlovingjesus?s=21&t=YcRjZQUpvP7FrJmm7Pe1hg INSTAGRAM -  https://www.instagram.com/encouragingothersinlovingjesus/ “Encouraging Others in Loving Jesus” YouTube Channel: Check it out at https://www.youtube.com/@EncouragingOthersInLovingJesus   I WANT TO BEGIN A PERSONAL RELATIONSHIP WITH JESUS CHRIST.   RESOURCES USED FOR BOOK OF 1 & 2 Kings PODCASTS: “The Wiersbe Bible Commentary: The Complete Old Testament OT in One Volume” “Christ-Centered Exposition: Exalting Jesus in 1 & 2 Kings” by Tony Merida “The Tony Evans Bible Commentary: Advancing God's Kingdom Agenda” “Life Application Study Bible” “The Swindoll Study Bible: NLT” by Charles R.

    Crown Ignorant Kings — Reclaiming Truth, Authority, and the KingdomWhat if ignorance isn't an insult—but a wake-up call?In this unapologetically bold podcast, we challenge the misunderstood meaning of “ignorance” and uncover how misinformation, withheld truth, and spiritual misdirection have robbed humanity of its divine inheritance. Here, truth isn't just facts—it's original, eternal knowledge that transcends the senses.We delve into the profound message that every human being was created as a king, not by gender, but by divine authority. Through powerful revelations, we explore why God came in human form: to restore what was lost, to reconnect us to the Kingdom, and to reclaim the crowns forfeited through disobedience. This isn't your typical Gospel conversation. We go beyond “What Would Jesus Do” and ask the real question: What Did Jesus Say? Because the true Good News isn't just about the cross—it's about the crown beyond it.

    Servant Leaders: Serve God First

    Broadcasts – Christian Working Woman

    Presented by Lauren Stibgen As Christians, we often consider ourselves servant leaders, but how was this phrase born into our business vocabulary as something to aspire to whether you are a follower of Jesus or not? And why do we consider servant leadership biblical at all? First, for those of you who missed the conversation about the roots of servant leadership in secular business, it all began in 1970 when Robert Greenleaf mused over an allegory about a servant who ended up being a leader of a great band of men. This story was not biblical, but it sparked the thought that those who serve with an others-first focus can become some of the greatest leaders; more than leaders who are bestowed with a title who desire power, authority, and self-focused gratification. The phrase servant leader is not specifically found in the Bible. How many times is the word leader even used in the Bible? Just a quick look in my Bible's concordance—you know the list of words in the back with references to verses—the word leader is not listed. Only, lead, leads and led. People who lead are listed. Rulers along with kings, but both rulers and kings would better describe appointed positions of authority. In the New Testament, the word diakonia—meaning servant or service—is the most used word to describe people in leadership. Not surprising the words servant, servants, serve, and service take up much more space in the concordance than any of the other “official” terms for the appointed offices. Perhaps this is why we are drawn to the term servant leader as followers of Jesus. It is deeply connected to the Word of God in describing those in the early church. In Romans 16:1 speaks of Phoebe, a servant and patron of the church. 1 Corinthians 3:5 exhorts, What, after all, is Apollos? And what is Paul? Only servants, through whom you came to believe—as the Lord has assigned to each his task. We know each of these servants were in fact leaders of the early church. All early church leaders had one thing in common—submission and obedience to the will of God in their lives. They looked to their relationship with God in Jesus before even considering the work before them. In his book, Forgotten God, Francis Chan sums up our need for seeking and submission well in his introduction when he writes, “…as believers we can never be done with God. He is infinite and we are finite; there will always be more of his character to discover, more of his love to experience and more of his power to use for his purposes.”[1] More of his power—not my power—to lead. His power made perfect through me for his purposes. True servant leadership begins in submission to God through Christ Jesus. We see this throughout Scripture. We see the success of those who submit themselves to the Lord's will and the failure and despair of those who choose to lead by selfish ambition and pride. True servant leadership as a follower of Jesus Christ starts with a posture of submission. Is this on a leadership description for your next job—must be willing to submit. We can all say probably not. But are you willing to submit in order to become a better servant leader? God rarely uses the shiny, well-educated people to make the biggest impact for his kingdom. Remember, the disciples were mostly fishermen and a tax collector! So, if you are submitted, be prepared for God to use you as a servant leader right where you are! I have thought a lot about the Old Testament prophet Elijah. Submission to the will of God was most of his story, and God used him to glorify himself during a deeply sinful time filled with idol worship. Found in 1 Kings, God used Elijah to give word to Ahab of a drought in the land. During this time, the Lord sent Elijah away where ravens and a non-Israelite widow provided for him! We learn he stayed by a river for a while, and when it dried up, Elijah moved on. He was completely reliant on God and obedient to his call. Finally,

I recently sat down with lead vocalist Chris Gates and Bassist Joe Berry for an in-depth conversation on RadioBypass, and this rising group has the passion, the fire, and the songwriting chops to remind us all why rock music still matters.In this exclusive Kings Of Karma interview, we dig deep into their origins, influences, creative process, and the new music that's putting serious momentum behind their name.This is a band that hits the emotional, melodic, and power-driven sweet spot!

As they continue carving their own path, Kings Of Karma are proving that rock's heartbeat is still strong, still loud, and still capable of moving people. Check out our chat and stick around to hear a couple of songs from the band! Rock and Roll music (and conversation) that DESERVES to be heard!

    Thought For Today

    I greet you in Jesus' precious name! It is Saturday morning, 15th November 2025, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for today. We start in the Gospel of John 6:15:”Therefore when Jesus perceived that they were about to come and take Him by force to make Him king, He departed again to the mountain by Himself alone.” The most humble person who has ever lived! He said if you want to be the best or the greatest, you must become the least. They wanted to make Him king. He knew it was not His time. He withdrew to the mountains by Himself. Oh folks, we need to be more like Jesus. There are too many of us clamouring to become famous and popular. I looked up John Lennon. He was the leader of probably the most famous rock and roll band in the world at the time, The Beatles. He made a statement and he did apologise afterwards. He said that they were more popular than Jesus, but at the age of 40, he was gunned down and he died.Elvis Presley - I've been to Graceland in Memphis Tennessee, I went with my good friend Tommy. We went to that beautiful house to go and have a look. It was one of the saddest places I've ever been. They said he was such a generous man. Elvis Presley was regarded as the most popular man in the world. They called him “The King of Rock and Roll,” but he could never sleep. He used to play the piano into the early hours of the morning and he would sing hymns they said. His kitchen was open 24 hours a day. He was thronged with friends, well I don't know if they were friends or hangers-on, so much so that his wife and his little daughter eventually left him, and then at the age of 42 years old, in the newspapers, the headlines, “The king is dead.”I want to say to you today, don't seek after the popularity of men, of society, of this world, rather seek after the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords, the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End, a Friend who sticks closer than a brother, Jesus Christ. Rather be like Him, and you will live a long time and you will live a peaceful life because when you follow Jesus, He gives you life eternal! Jesus bless you and have a wonderful and quiet day,Goodbye.

    1 Kings 9 is a solemn and powerful chapter where God appears to Solomon for the second time, confirming His covenant but also warning of the consequences of turning away. It is a chapter of promise, accountability, obedience, and national destiny. After Solomon finished building the Temple of the Lord and his palace, God spoke: “I have heard your prayer. I have consecrated this house you built. My eyes and My heart will always be there.” But with the promise came a condition a divine warning wrapped in holy love: If Solomon and his descendants walked faithfully, God would establish the throne forever. But if they turned to idols, Israel would be uprooted, the Temple would be destroyed, and the nation would become a proverb of ruin. 1 Kings 9 also describes Solomon's international dealings his agreement with Hiram, the cities he built, the labor forces, the offerings he continued to present before the Lord, and the great achievements of his reign. But the heart of this chapter is clear: God blesses obedience. He honors covenant faithfulness. He warns out of love, not judgment. And a nation's destiny is shaped by the faithfulness of its leaders. 1 Kings 9 teaches that glory can quickly fade if the heart drifts away from God, but obedience keeps the light burning.

The Queen of Sheba traveled a great distance to test Solomon with hard questions — and when she heard his answers, saw his kingdom, and witnessed the glory God had given him, she was overwhelmed. There was no more spirit left in her. She praised the God of Israel. She honored Solomon. She acknowledged that the blessings on his life came from the throne of heaven. This chapter reminds us that when God elevates, kings and queens come searching for the light. It shows the power of divine wisdom, prosperity with righteousness, and influence rooted in God's favor. 1 Kings 10 also describes Solomon's unmatched wealth gold, chariots, craftsmanship, and global recognition. The world knew that God's hand was with him. Use this chapter as a reminder: When God's glory rests on your life, even distant nations will take notice.

    “The ravens brought him bread and meat each morning and evening, and he drank from the brook.” (1 Kings 17:6 NLT) When the Bible says that ravens brought Elijah food each morning and evening, it doesn’t mean that they took his order, flew through the local fast-food restaurant, and then delivered his meal. Ravens are scavengers. They brought little bits of meat and bread to Elijah. What’s more, the water in the brook from which he drank would have been somewhat polluted. So, Elijah didn’t enjoy an idyllic situation by any stretch of the imagination. How easily Elijah could have said, “Well, Lord, I don’t really want to be in this crummy little place, drinking river water. I kind of like being in front of people. I like the limelight.” But the Lord was preparing Elijah for something beyond his wildest dreams. Not long after his sojourn by the brook, Elijah found himself standing on Mount Carmel, engaged in a great showdown with the false prophets of Baal (see 1 Kings 18:20–40). Sometimes we don’t like where God has put us. We say, “Lord, I don’t like this situation. I don’t like where I am. I want to do something great for You. I want to make a difference in my world.” Maybe the Lord wants you to be effective right where you are. Maybe He wants you to take advantage of the opportunities in front of you and be faithful in the little things. Who knows what God has in store for you? One theme that works its way through Scripture is that God’s people are blessed when they trust in His timing and plan. The author of Proverbs advised, “Trust in the Lord with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding. Seek his will in all you do, and he will show you which path to take” (Proverbs 3:5–6 NLT). God Himself said, “Have you never heard? Have you never understood? The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of all the earth. He never grows weak or weary. No one can measure the depths of his understanding. He gives power to the weak and strength to the powerless. Even youths will become weak and tired, and young men will fall in exhaustion. But those who trust in the Lord will find new strength. They will soar high on wings like eagles. They will run and not grow weary. They will walk and not faint” (Isaiah 40:28–31 NLT). The apostle Paul offered this reminder: “And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them” (Romans 8:28 NLT). And the author of Ecclesiastes wrote, “For everything there is a season, a time for every activity under heaven” (Ecclesiastes 3:1 NLT). If God has you by some muddy little brook, so to speak, just hang in there. Make the most of the season you’re in. Be faithful, do what He has already told you, and wait on Him and His timing. God will do something wonderful for you or with you. Just be available and open to do what He would have you do. Reflection question: How can you thrive in the place you are right now?

    When life feels like a jar half-empty, 1 Kings 17:12–16 reminds us that God’s provision isn’t limited by what we can see. The widow, facing her final meal, offered what little she had—and discovered a miracle that carried her household through famine. God often calls us to trust Him beyond our logic, timelines, or resources, not to take from us but to reveal how faithfully He provides when we surrender what feels scarce. Highlights The widow’s “last meal” became the doorway to God’s ongoing provision. Fear, scarcity, and uncertainty can make obedience feel impossible. Trusting God doesn’t always make sense in the moment—but it positions us to see His power. God often works behind the scenes long before we see results. Obedience in the small things can lead to unexpected opportunities and blessings. Personal stories—like finding a job, purpose, or direction—often echo the widow’s journey of radical trust. God’s plans unfold step-by-step, not all at once, and His timing rarely looks like ours. Gift Inspiration: Crosswalk's Holiday Gift Guide Looking for a meaningful way to celebrate the season?

Full Transcript Below: When All We See Is a Jar Half-Empty By Hannah Benson Bible Reading: And she said, “As the Lord your God lives, I have nothing baked, only a handful of flour in a jar and a little oil in a jug. And now I am gathering a couple of sticks that I may go in and prepare it for myself and my son, that we may eat it and die.” And Elijah said to her, “Do not fear; go and do as you have said. But first make me a little cake of it and bring it to me, and afterward make something for yourself and your son. For thus says the Lord, the God of Israel, ‘The jar of flour shall not be spent, and the jug of oil shall not be empty, until the day that the Lord sends rain upon the earth.’” And she went and did as Elijah said. And she and he and her household ate for many days. The jar of flour was not spent, neither did the jug of oil become empty, according to the word of the Lord that he spoke by Elijah. - 1 Kings 17:12-16 One Saturday afternoon, as I spent quiet time with God, the Lord impressed on my heart the story of the widow and Elijah. I froze. Where did that come from? In all honesty, I hadn’t thought of that story in a long time. Needless to say, I flipped open my Bible and found the story smack-dab in the middle of 1 Kings 17. As I reread the story, the Lord reminded me of a time in my life when God had called me, like the widow in the story, to trust His plans more than the “reality” I could see. Let’s rewind, refresh our memory of the passage, and step into ancient Israel for a moment. Have you ever wondered how the widow in 1 Kings 17 felt as she peered into her jar and jug? Perhaps she sighed. Perhaps, despite how empty both were, they’d never felt so heavy in her hand. One more meal. One more meal and then she and her son would have nothing left. Perhaps she gazed up into the heavens or perhaps she fell on her knees in the dirt. Perhaps a tear slipped down her cheek and hit the soil, the splash of liquid the first the dry earth had seen in so long. Had God forgotten her? Suddenly, in the distance, there appeared a man, no doubt dusty and worn from his travels. He asked her for a drink. That alone would’ve been difficult to procure in a drought and famine. But she turned to fetch it. And then. He requested a morsel of bread. Her heart, no doubt, sank. Why would God ask her to surrender one of the very things she and her son needed to live? Perhaps a million thoughts ran through her mind. As it was, she and her boy would die eventually because they had nothing left. And now? Was God asking her to give everything? Didn’t He know what it would cost her? Despite her fears in the midst of God’s promise, the widow chose to offer what she had. Even though she couldn’t see how God would provide. Even though the reality staring her in the face contradicted what God had reassured her. And you know what? “And she and he and her household ate for many days” (v. 15). This realization wrapped around me like a warm blanket. I believe God will not always show us the next step. Sometimes, all we can see is what sits directly in front of us, but we don’t see the whole picture. When God asks us to do something radical, it doesn’t matter if it looks like we may lose something we hold close. It doesn’t matter if it looks like we will lack what we think we need (As the widow knew she would run out of food. That, after all, made sense). But God doesn’t operate in our timelines. He provides miracles often when we least expect them. Sometimes, God asks us to move in a direction that appears contrary to what we think makes sense. Intersecting Faith & Life A couple of years ago, God told me He wanted me to focus on where He had me. Let me explain. After nearly 6 months off work due to an initial layoff and then helping to care for my mom, who’d been diagnosed with ovarian cancer, and when it was possible for me to look for a job again, God impressed on my heart to wait. Wait? That didn’t make any sense. As a young adult two years out of high school, I needed to have a job. To make some money to save. Right? But despite what made sense, God challenged me to focus on where He called me. I’ll be honest. At the time, I wasn’t exactly sure what that meant. A year-and-a-half before I graduated, I’d started working on a novel He’d placed on my heart years earlier. Now that I was a high school graduate and didn’t have homework, what was I supposed to do with all that “free” time during the day? Write novels? That seemed a bit unrealistic. Thankfully, that wasn’t what God had in mind. Not in the long run. After all, I wanted to be able to make some money to save. It would be even better if it were doing something I truly loved. One particular afternoon when the fear screamed louder, God’s voice was a gentle anchor to my heart. Trust. Trust. Trust. That evening? I’m not even kidding. A friend of mine emailed me to ask if I’d step in to work remotely as her marketing manager for her small business since her former manager was stepping down. A miracle and divinely orchestrated? Absolutely. Especially considering I had zero professional marketing experience and had desired to work in marketing for this exact company. And now? I work remotely for a digital marketing company halfway across the country whose client includes a film company. Which means I get to market films. I write fiction and nonfiction. I’m in a new film school that launched this past year. My family and I had the privilege of traveling to Nashville recently to work on a major proof-of-concept for a TV series. In addition, I’m now writing for Crosswalk and still marketing for my friend’s company when needed. All glory to God. The best part is? I never could’ve foreseen all of this when God asked me to trust His plan and to focus on where He had me. I still don’t know what God’s plan is for me tomorrow, next month, or next year. Yes, there are absolutely hard days, but life with God is an adventure, and I know He will lead each of us in accordance with His will and good plans and purposes. Where might God be asking you to trust Him? What are you afraid to say “yes” to because of what you lack? If God is calling you to do something, even if it’s radical, I want to encourage you to say “yes.” Discover more Christian podcasts at lifeaudio.com and inquire about advertising opportunities at lifeaudio.com/contact-us.
