"In the beginning was the Word..." The Gospel of John opens with this powerful echo of Genesis, immediately establishing Jesus not as a mere historical figure, but as the eternal Word of God. Unlike other Gospel accounts that begin with Jesus's birth or baptism, John takes us back before time itself to reveal Christ's divine nature.In this episode, we explore how John uses profound metaphors to help us understand Jesus at His core - as the Word, the Light that overcomes darkness, and Life itself. Rather than simply a teacher of good principles, Jesus is presented as the very source and embodiment of life, the creator through whom all things were made.We also meet John the Baptist, that "not normal cat" who lived in the wilderness eating locusts and honey, fearlessly speaking truth to everyone from ordinary people to kings. His singular mission was to prepare the way for Jesus, and when questioned about his identity, he humbly defines himself as "a voice crying in the wilderness" pointing others toward Christ.The calling of the first disciples reveals something remarkable about Jesus's presence. Andrew, Peter, Philip, and Nathanael all recognize Him as the promised Messiah, even before fully understanding His mission. Their recognition raises a challenging question for us today: Would we recognize Jesus if He came now? Would we see past our preconceptions to identify the divine Light standing before us?The greatest lesson from this passage isn't just understanding Jesus's identity or John's mission - it's responding to the same simple invitation Jesus offered His first followers: "Come and see" and "Follow me." This call remains available to each of us today, inviting us on the greatest adventure possible - following Jesus wherever He leads.The Bible isn't just an old book—it's God's story, and it's still alive today. His Story takes you chapter by chapter through Scripture, combining simple readings of God's Word with prayer for every listener and occasional reflections on what the passage means for our lives right now. Whether you're brand new to the Bible or have been reading it for years, this podcast is a space to slow down, hear God's Word spoken, and be reminded that His story is also our story.

 In this special episode of the True Man Podcast, I reflect on the tragic death of Charlie Kirk, Founder of Turning Point USA, a devoted father, and a man of conviction, while exploring what his life and legacy mean for faith, freedom, and the call to stand strong in the face of darkness. I lean into how we can respond with courage, love, and truth as we live out Jesus' greatest commandments: to love God and to love our neighbor. #truemanpodcast #startyourcomebackstory  Contact Mike Van Pelt: mike@truemanlifecoaching.com https://www.truemanlifecoaching.com  Order Mik's New Book, True Man True Ways – A Roadmap of Discovery to the Masculine Heart  https://www.truemanlifecoaching.com/truemantrueways 

The assassination of Charlie Kirk on 9/10/25 shook us all. On the eve of the 24th anniversary of 9/11, we were reminded yet again of the deep darkness pressing in on our world. From violent attacks in the United States to tragedies abroad, the evil seems relentless. In moments like this, we need to be reminded of the only way forward—standing firm in Christ. That’s the focus of this episode of "Courageous Christianity with Richard Mendelow," recorded just 24 hours before this unthinkable act. Host Colonel Richard J. Mendelow (Ret) and his wingman Christy Mendelow speak to the reality of our spiritual battlefield, the constant pull of a depraved world, and the hope we have when we trust God completely. As Philippians 2:15 reminds us, God calls us to “shine like stars in the sky” in a warped and crooked generation. Though Charlie’s earthly light is no longer with us, his life seemed to live that out—standing firm and pointing others to the Truth. That same call is before us: to trust God and to do what He says—so that we shine like stars. Listen now at courageouschristianity.today/listen, KKHT.com, iHeart Radio, or on select podcast platforms. This message could not be more urgent.

In today's impromptu episode, I share my heart in response to the tragic assassination of Charlie Kirk. At just 31 years old, Charlie was a husband, father, son, and brother in Christ. He lived with conviction, courage, and deep faith, creating spaces for open dialogue and debate on college campuses. No matter our political views, this loss should grieve us all. A young wife shouldn't have to fear for her husband's life because he used his voice for faith and freedom. As believers, we grieve—but we don't grieve without hope. Scripture reminds us that God can work all things for good (Romans 8:28), and that His faithful servants are welcomed home with joy (Matthew 25:23). In this episode, I reflect on Charlie's legacy, the spiritual battle we face, and the call for Christians to shine brighter in a darkening world. This episode is an invitation to pray for his family, to stand firm in God's Word, and to recommit ourselves to living boldly for Christ.

In this message, we study Lot's drift away from God into darkness and learn how we should conduct ourselves as lights and witnesses for Christ.

Self-love is a skill that takes daily practice. And if you're feeling a bit out of practice... well, you're not alone. In this episode, we're diving into our Element of Love by focusing on the wisdom of James Baldwin as he encourages us all to find light within darkness. We'll talk about the relationship of self-love and mental health, self-love as a tool for behavior change, the importance of spotlighting positive actions, and the transformative power of kindness in practical situations.  About: Cope with stress, anxiety, and depression better with the Joy Lab Podcast.

You are the Light in the Darkness by Olajumoke Adenowo

Luke 1:79Isaiah 50:10-11

In this final conversation of the Christian Shadow Work series, Jonah and Patrick first pause to look back—gathering the threads of what has been opened in the earlier episodes. From there, the focus turns toward the heart of transformation in following Christ: the Eucharist.Here, in Christ's life freely given—body and blood—we meet the highest image of what it means to be human: the overcoming of self-absorption, offered in love for the world. In His death and resurrection, the question of what to do with our own shadows finds its answer.When we turn toward Him and allow His life to live in us, our shadows can be transformed into something new: not just burdens, but living crosses—like Golgotha itself—where the light of God shines in the darkness.Support the showThe Light in Every Thing is a podcast of The Seminary of The Christian Community in North America.

A sermon for Proper 14, August 10, 2025. Genesis 15:1-6 The word of the Lord came to Abram in a vision, "Do not be afraid, Abram, I am your shield; your reward shall be very great." But Abram said, "O Lord God, what will you give me, for I continue childless, and the heir of my house is Eliezer of Damascus?" And Abram said, "You have given me no offspring, and so a slave born in my house is to be my heir." But the word of the Lord came to him, "This man shall not be your heir; no one but your very own issue shall be your heir." He brought him outside and said, "Look toward heaven and count the stars, if you are able to count them." Then he said to him, "So shall your descendants be." And he believed the Lord; and the Lord reckoned it to him as righteousness.   Luke 12:32-40 Jesus said to his disciples, "Do not be afraid, little flock, for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom. Sell your possessions, and give alms. Make purses for yourselves that do not wear out, an unfailing treasure in heaven, where no thief comes near and no moth destroys. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. "Be dressed for action and have your lamps lit; be like those who are waiting for their master to return from the wedding banquet, so that they may open the door for him as soon as he comes and knocks. Blessed are those slaves whom the master finds alert when he comes; truly I tell you, he will fasten his belt and have them sit down to eat, and he will come and serve them. If he comes during the middle of the night, or near dawn, and finds them so, blessed are those slaves. "But know this: if the owner of the house had known at what hour the thief was coming, he would not have let his house be broken into. You also must be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an unexpected hour."

Once again we see that scripture testifies of the Messiah, Yeshua HaMashiach, Jesus the Christ.  Just as He taught in John 5:39 said between 24-30 A.D. when all they had was the Hebrew Scriptures or the Old Testament.  Starting in lesson 62 (see links to Lesson 62, 63, and 64 below) we saw that Yahvay, the LORD, came to dwell WITH His people.  But, when He was here, the LORD, Jesus, came to dwell IN His people.  In Exodus God had a temporary dwelling place, a tent.  In Jesus' day it was said our human body was a TENT and Jesus came to dwell in His human body, His tent.  There are more like the Menorah is looked upon as symbolizing the LIGHT OF THE WORLD shines in the darkness of the Holy Place.  And Jesus.  He is the LIGHT OF THE WORLD and He came to shine for men caught in the darkness of sin.  The lessons 62-65 must be treated as one unit.  It is highly recommended that you listen and study with me in lesson 62 and 63 and 64 before you listen to this lesson 65.  Here are the links for 62-64. Link 62 – https://lightofmenorah.podbean.com/e/exodus-62-exod-251-8-the-waypoint-on-the-hike-through-torah/ Link 63 – https://lightofmenorah.podbean.com/e/exodus-63-exod-2510-16-the-ark-of-the-covenant/ Link 64 - https://lightofmenorah.podbean.com/e/exodus-64-exod-2510-22-the-mercy-seat-and-the-blodd-of-the-lamb/ An important earlier lesson in this study of Exodus is the podcast Bible study that shows that the Hebrews likely assimilated into the Egyptian culture.  Thus, it makes sense that Yahvay, the LORD, would use the things of Egypt, things the Hebrews, His beloved chosen people, were familiar with.  He was trying to reach them in the Torah, His instruction, and NOT us.  It was written to them THEN.  So, here's the link to that key podcast study - https://lightofmenorah.podbean.com/e/the-gospel-according-to-moses-lesson-4-part-2-exod-211-25/ Here's a layout of the Mishkan HaKodesh Eloheem or the Holy Dwelling Tent of God commonly known from Latin as the Tabernacle (tent).  It is public domain found at Wikimedia. You can great a great tour (video) of the entire Holy Tent of Yahvay, the LORD, at the link below.  The video link is in the upper right. Link - https://www.freebibleimages.org/illustrations/bs-tabernacle-walkthrough/ In this Bible study podcast I mentioned two articles I found related to the rituals of the Egyptian priest each morning.  They would prepare a large breakfast for the god of the Temple.  The meal was fruit, veggies, beer, meats, bread, and wine.  For the Hebrews coming out of Egypt when they see the Table of the Bread of the Presence it is likely that they thought of this connection to Egypt.  See the articles below. In my research I did a search of the phrase “Egyptian priests work in secret.” The search resulted in this “AI” article below. It's generally accepted that ancient Egyptian priests did work in secret, particularly in certain aspects of their duties and knowledge. Here's why: Guardians of Sacred Knowledge: Priests were seen as guardians of secrets given by the gods, particularly in the realm of magic (Heka). Restricted Temple Access: Only priests were allowed into the innermost sanctuaries of the temples, where the cult statues of the deities resided. These inner rooms were considered sacred spaces, and the general public was barred from them. Initiation Rites: Initiation into the priesthood often involved sacred and secretive rituals, including trials and tests of knowledge. These rites aimed to transform the initiate, moving them from one state of being to another. Preservation of Knowledge: Temple libraries, known as "House of Life," were repositories of ancient religious, medical, and astronomical texts. These texts were preserved and transmitted through generations of priests, suggesting a guarded transmission of knowledge. Funerary Practices: Specific funerary texts, such as the Pyramid Texts and the Book of the Dead, contained spells and incantations meant to guide the deceased in the afterlife. These texts were used by priests, indicating a certain level of specialized knowledge required for navigating the afterlife. However, it's important to note: Public Festivals: While daily temple rituals were restricted, priests did participate in public religious festivals where the image of the god was carried outside the temple, allowing the public to interact with the deity. Role of Pharaoh: The Pharaoh was considered the ultimate intermediary between the gods and the people, and priests acted under the Pharaoh's overarching control, though they had their own specialized roles. In conclusion, ancient Egyptian priests maintained a degree of secrecy, especially in their access to sacred knowledge and the performance of certain rituals within the temples. This secrecy stemmed from their role as mediators between the divine and human realms, and their responsibility in preserving and transmitting the sacred traditions and beliefs of ancient Egypt.  Please check out the links below to further your study on the Egyptian priests. https://www.egypttoursportal.com/en-us/blog/ancient-egyptian-civilization/ancient-egyptian-priests/ https://www.thetorah.com/article/the-egyptian-magicians https://www.bbc.co.uk/history/ancient/egyptians/magic_01.shtml https://www.albanyinstitute.org/ancient-egyptian-art-and-culture?file=tl_files/pages/education/lesson_plans/Ancient%20Egypt/PriestsinAncientEgypt.pdf&cid=3221 It is proven archaeologically and from the ancient literature that no one knows what the original Menorah looked like.  Today orthodox rabbis debate as to the details of the Menorah.  One verse that we emphasized was Exod. 25:40, “"See that you make them after the pattern for them, which was shown to you on the mountain.” (Exo 25:40)  So many today say Moses was in Heaven when the LORD Yahvay showed Moses the various aspects of the Mishkan HaKodesh.  But, that is not what the Bible says.  Moses is on the mountain and was not taken from earth.  Perhaps the LORD showed Moses a plant that is common throughout the Middle East and in the Sinai.  It is called today “SALVIA PALAESTINA” and it is amazing that it looks like the Menorah.  Could it be that God shows Moses this plant on the mountain in the Sinai (could be that one was growing close to the area where Moses and Yahvay, the LORD, met.  See the picture below of THE MENORAH PLANT. A scholarly article that shows this is possible can be found at the link below.  It was written by Dr. Martin Gruber, professor emeritus at Ben Gurion University of the Negev. LINK - https://janes.scholasticahq.com/article/55699-the-salvia-plant-and-the-menorah-revisited/attachment/120208.pdf Finally, it was suggested in the Jerusalem Publication Society Exodus commentary by Dr. Nahum Sarna, that the art work of the Menorah in Exodus 25 is clearly associated with the artwork of the ancient Egyptians dated to the Late Bronze Age.  See the picture below for a chart showing the Bronze Age and its divisions and dates for the early, middle and late bronze age.  This picture is from Wikimedia and is public domain.

Ever feel like the darkness is closing in? What if it's just a sign you've drifted from the light? In this episode, Pastor Joshua Brown reveals how the chaos we feel isn't a battle to fight, but a distance to close. Drawing from Scripture and a sunrise moment on the beach, he reminds us that proximity to God is what brings clarity, peace, and purpose. If your soul feels restless, this message might be the light you've been looking for.

In this episode, Brian Doyle shares what it was like to parent through the unimaginable. After losing his wife to cancer at age 54, Brian had to navigate his own grief while guiding his teenage and young adult kids through theirs. His story will challenge you to keep your eyes on the future, disciple your kids with purpose, and take initiative to invest in the dads around you.   TAKEAWAYS: Instead of avoiding grief, learn to walk through it in a healthy way so your sorrow can eventually lead to joy.

No one else can do what God designed you as a man to do. The time you invest in younger dads today can equip them for the challenges they'll face decades from now.   GUEST Brian Doyle is the Founder and President of Iron Sharpens Iron and serves as the National Director of the ISI Ministry Network.
