Wrestling with Truth and Divine Will Experiencing internal conflict while traveling, contemplating a profound truth from Matthew 11. Soul grieved due to God's will differing from personal prayers. Acknowledges God's superior knowledge and plan. "I'm glad God's God and I ain't. He knows what to do and I don't." Affirms obedience to God and appreciation for the Holy Ghost. Scripture: Matthew 11:25-30 Jesus thanks the Father for revealing truths to "babes" and hiding them from the "wise and prudent." "I thank Thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because thou hast hid these things from the wise and true, and hast revealed them unto babes." All things are delivered to Jesus by the Father, and no one knows the Son except the Father, nor the Father except the Son and those to whom the Son reveals Him. Invitation to those who labor and are heavy laden: "Come unto me, all ye that labor, and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest." Take His yoke and learn from Him, for He is meek and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. "Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me. For I am meek and lowly in heart, and ye shall find rest unto your souls." His yoke is easy, and His burden is light. Prayer and Reflection Praying for those who struggle, grieve, and bear burdens. Recognizing God's faithfulness, goodness, and graciousness regardless of circumstances. Thankful for God's promises based on His will, not on personal merit. Acknowledging personal inability to fix needs, trusting in God's intervention. Word of God as a "rescue" and "lifeline" for souls. The "Post-it Note" of the Holy Spirit A verse quoted by Brother Robert on Sunday morning deeply resonated. The Holy Spirit's "unction" or "nudge" prompts deeper exploration of scripture. Like a "post-it note up in my heart." Familiar scripture can lose its effect over time. Desire to avoid becoming "anesthetized" or "indifferent" to the truth. Personal desire to be moved by the truth of Jesus' invitation to "come unto me and I'll give you rest." The Invitation to "Come" The invitation is personal: "You come. Not your neighbor." The invitation is for those who are "burdened and are heavy laden." Many carry burdens, grief, and unresolved problems. Acknowledging personal lack of answers, but knowing the One who has promised rest. Danger of taking prayer and access to God for granted. Reminder of the greatness of God, the "One on high who created everything." Importance of reverence and fear in approaching God. Personal Testimony and Revelation Remembering the day the Holy Ghost convicted the soul, leading to repentance. Jesus reveals the Father, leading to a life-changing encounter. Concern that the opportunity to kneel in God's presence is no longer an "amazement." Lamenting that many with the invitation of Christ do not seek Him. The opposite of coming to God is "not coming," requiring a response. Instantaneous transformation from sinner to saint through the Holy Spirit. "It wasn't five minutes after that He made me a saint." The Holy Ghost lives within, constantly inviting to "come." Revelation 22:17 The Spirit and the Bride say, "Come." The Holy Spirit is fully given at salvation, not partially. "You didn't get part of the Holy Spirit...You got the Holy Spirit." The Holy Spirit sets up a "home" within and says, "Come." Jesus' Grief and Compassion Jesus was grieved by the events leading up to the invitation in Matthew 11. He was troubled by the imprisonment of John the Baptist and the disciples' lack of understanding. Jesus rebuked those who followed John half-heartedly. He pronounced "woe" upon cities that did not repent despite witnessing His mighty works. "Woe unto thee, Chorazin! Woe unto thee, Bethsaida!" Jesus thanked the Father for hiding truths from the "wise and prudent" a...

In this conversation, James Kelly, Founder and CEO of FaithTech, explores the intersection of faith and technology, highlighting the emergence of FaithTech as a global movement for believers in the tech industry. He shares how God is working within the tech world, the importance of recognizing and mobilizing tech professionals in the church, and the need for a biblical framework to guide technology's use. The discussion covers the theology of technology—its potential for idolatry, its opportunities for redemption, and the role of the Holy Spirit in the use of digital tools. James also examines the redemptive applications of AI, innovative solutions to social issues, and how the church can engage with technology to serve communities effectively.James' passion for innovation and the Gospel led him to launch FaithTech, a global movement bridging technology and faith. With a Master of Divinity from McMaster, he helped plant a church focused on serving those in need. In 2015, inspired by the idea that “devastation creates opportunity for innovation,” James saw how technology could transform ministry. By 2016, he left his recruitment business to lead FaithTech full-time. Today, FaithTech operates in 38 cities worldwide, launching startups, deploying real-world tech solutions, and equipping believers to use their skills for the Kingdom. With a growing global demand, the movement continues to expand, bringing faith and technology together in powerful ways.TAKEAWAYS+FaithTech is a community for believers passionate about technology.+There is a growing openness to discussing faith in the tech industry.+Many tech professionals feel underutilized in their churches.+Pastors need to understand the influence of technology on society.+Churches should empower tech professionals to use their skills for the gospel.+Lamenting the problems before building tech solutions is essential.

Grant's feeling a bit more hopeful about the 2025 season lately, while Lee talks about having reasonable hope compared to blind hope. Nevertheless the vibes coming out of spring ball have been pretty good, particularly surrounding the WRs. Grant says it's reasonable to be excited about many parts of the roster, but there are 3-4 position groups with serious questions (2:05). We watched practice video of pass catchers taking on DBs in 1-on-1s and we've got a lot of thoughts. Probably the most we've talked about the tight ends in a long time (18:20). We also got 1-on-1s of the O-Line taking on the D-Line. Several practice thoughts commence. It seems reasonable to expect David Stone to make a jump based on the evidence on hand (37:35). It appears Lee's conspiracy theory about Gentry Williams was wrong (50:05). Brent Venables appeared with Josh Pate in a recent interview. Lee has many thoughts-- most of them negative, but we did learn at least a couple of things (53:40). Trae Young is now the assistant GM for men's basketball, but what does that mean? Rants about players transferring all the time (1:10:20). Lamenting the death of the traditional spring game (1:19:30). | Like the show on Facebook: @westofeverest | Follow Grant on Twitter: @GrantBenson25 | Follow Lee on Twitter: @LeeBensonTweets

Marking 5 years since the start of the pandemic, Msgr. Roger Landry discusses the many moments of grace and mercy when COVID shut the entire world down. Lamenting the lack of access to the sacraments and the many lessons learned since the global state of emergency, the team also notes the real heroes of the pandemic: Catholic schools. Coming up for air while she's knee deep writing a book about adoption, TCA colleague Leigh Snead shares the real dangers of IVF and the many joys found in being an adoptive mother. The TCA team also delve into what they are doing for Lent--and how best to unite one's suffering to the cross during this penitential season.

Series: 2025 Spring Gospel MeetingService: Gospel MeetingType: SermonSpeaker: Tommy Peeler

A Sunday sermon by Pastor Brett Deal. As far back as the sixth century in recorded history—and probably even further back than that—Christians have reflected on seven psalms as they enter Lent (Psalm 6, 32, 38, 51, 102, 130, and 143). These songs in the hymnbook of Israel sing over us the joy of confession and the gift of repentance. As followers of Jesus, we find in these lyrical prayers the peace with God found through lament. Today, as we kneel before the Lord our God, taking the shape of the cross gently outlined in ash on our foreheads, we internalize the words of Psalm 6. Knowing that we are dust and to dust we will return, we sing with the psalmist, David, starting with a single word: Lord! David wrote this song in the valley of suffering. He was wracked in pain and weeping over his life. He lamented his state, but lest he drift from God's faithfulness, he anchored his experience within the Lord's revealed nature. The first word he sings is the name of God spoken to Moses: Yahweh. As we begin this Lenten season, let's begin our valley lament within the character of Christ. He is the Son of God, the Lord of Moses, the sovereign of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. He is the God who hears and responds. He is the One who hears our confession and forgives our sin. He heals our sickness and delivers us from evil. On Sunday, we will continue with David's penitential psalms, reflecting on Psalm 32, his song of forgiveness. Lamenting we will also sing rejoicing how God's “steadfast love surrounds the one who trusts in the Lord.”

In this episode, we see that Job tells the truth, but still has hope that he will see God show up in the midst of his misery!

This week, I'm joined by Trillia Newbell for a meaningful conversation on the importance of community, celebrating differences, and how intentional family time can shape our kids' understanding of love, faith, and culture.  Here's what you'll hear in today's episode:Intentional time spent around the table fosters communication, connection, and love within families.  Food, stories, and shared experiences are great ways to introduce kids to different cultures and traditions.  Parents can have meaningful, scripture-based conversations with their kids about diversity and celebrating differences.  God's Word is central to helping kids understand and appreciate the beauty in how He made each of us.  Trillia Newbell is a speaker, writer, and author of multiple books, including Celebrating Around the Table. She is passionate about faith, family, and fostering meaningful conversations about race, culture, and community through a biblical lens.  This conversation is both refreshing and practical, giving parents tangible ways to celebrate diversity, build strong family connections, and create a home centered on faith and love.

I think there is potentially a reason your soul feels tired, and exhausted, and like it's running on fumes and you're not getting the results that you want from this thing called life… You're trying to run a race on a broken leg. You're trying to run a race on a broken soul. Lamenting is an art that we don't often practice in Western culture. It's really becoming a lost art in the Christian tradition. Rather than express our emotions, we just hide them, distract ourselves from feeling them, or pretend they don't exist. A loss of lament has led to malformation in the body of Christ. We're taught to: smile, be happy, and cheer up. Which leads to a weak, fake, less than whole version of Christianity that feels thin and a soul that feels wounded and unsure of what to do. Are you tired of running with a limp? Psalm 42:1-11 1 As a deer pants for flowing streams, so pants my soul for you, O God. 2 My soul thirsts for God, for the living God. When shall I come and appear before God? 3 My tears have been my food day and night, while they say to me all the day long, “Where is your God?” 4 These things I remember, as I pour out my soul: how I would go with the throng and lead them in procession to the house of God with glad shouts and songs of praise, a multitude keeping festival. 5 Why are you cast down, O my soul, and why are you in turmoil within me? Hope in God; for I shall again praise him, my salvation 6 and my God. My soul is cast down within me; therefore I remember you from the land of Jordan and of Hermon, from Mount Mizar. 7 Deep calls to deep at the roar of your waterfalls; all your breakers and your waves have gone over me. 8 By day the Lord commands his steadfast love, and at night his song is with me, a prayer to the God of my life. 9 I say to God, my rock: “Why have you forgotten me? Why do I go mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?” 10 As with a deadly wound in my bones, my adversaries taunt me, while they say to me all the day long, “Where is your God?” 11 Why are you cast down, O my soul, and why are you in turmoil within me? Hope in God; for I shall again praise him, my salvation and my God.

 Lamenting the Decline in Literacy? The Church Can HelpThe Banner, By Karen Swallow Prior, on December 20, 2024https://www.thebanner.org/columns/2024/12/lamenting-the-decline-in-literacy-the-church-can-helpThe discussion critically examines the church's role in promoting literacy, questioning whether it serves as genuine philanthropy or a veiled form of manipulation. Tracy highlights that churches often offer basic needs like shelter or food but with conditions tied to religious participation, which can marginalize vulnerable groups such as LGBTQ+ youth. Similarly, offering literacy programs may mask an agenda to foster biblical literacy rather than comprehensive reading skills. Helen acknowledges that while literacy is important, churches stepping in where the education system fails can lead to biased learning. She argues that without critical analysis skills, participants may only learn to interpret the Bible through the church's lens, limiting independent thought. Stephen counters that any reading, even scripture, can spark critical thinking, potentially leading to questioning religious teachings. However, Tracy warns that focusing solely on the Bible restricts broader literacy development and may trap individuals in manipulated interpretations. The conversation concludes that while promoting literacy is inherently good, restricting it to religious texts can exploit individuals rather than empower them.The Non-Prophets, Episode 24.2.3 featuring Jimmy Jr., Tracy Wilbert, Helen Greene, and Stephen HarderBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-non-prophets--3254964/support.

In this personal and anecdotal episode, I reflect on a recent car accident that changed my perspective on pain, resilience, and staying present. Drawing from my own experience of navigating physical injury, emotional turmoil, and life's unexpected disruptions, I want to share some valuable lessons on accepting pain and choosing who we want to be in the midst of it.Key TakeawaysPain is a Universal Experience: Everyone faces pain in various forms. Adjusting expectations helps to navigate life's inevitable challenges.Choosing Who to Be in Pain: While we can't control painful circumstances, we can choose our response and who we want to become in those moments.Faith and Resilience: God is present in our suffering, showing us how to lean into pain and live authentically.The Value of Lament: Acknowledging and naming our losses is essential. Lamenting is not about toxic positivity but about truthfully addressing the pain while moving forward.Staying Present: Focusing on the current moment can alleviate overwhelm and help manage pain one step at a time.Read the show notes and/or ask Natalie a question hereRelated Resources:Check out the books I mentioned: Man's Search for Meaning by Viktor Frankl and The Hiding Place by Corrie Ten Boom. Are you wondering what is happening inside your own painful and confusing marriage?
