This rereleased 2022 episode of Abide revisits Moses 7—a chapter that expands the brief biblical mention of Enoch into a rich, prophetic narrative. In the Pearl of Great Price, Enoch's visionary experiences with God profoundly influence Latter-day Saint understandings of the Father's compassion, character, and relationship to humanity. This conversation explores how Moses 7 shapes key themes within Latter-day Saint thought. At the time of the original recording, the discussion was hosted by Joseph Stuart, then the public communications specialist at the Maxwell Institute, alongside Research Fellow Kristian Heal. Together, they examined each week's Come, Follow Me scripture block—not to offer a full lesson, but to highlight meaningful ideas that support the Maxwell Institute's mission to “inspire and fortify Latter-day Saints in their testimonies of the restored gospel of Jesus Christ and engage the world of religious ideas.” The episode features special guest Terryl Givens, coauthor with Fiona Givens of The God Who Weeps and, more recently, The Doors of Faith in the Maxwell Institute's Living Faith series with Deseret Book.

Jam is very proud of fixing a hoover. But how did he manage this given how useless he is with spanners and screwdrivers?! And what does Ed do in an emergency? If that's stressing you out, don't worry: we've got birdsong to calm you. But also something much much better as James, the brother of Jesus, explains in his letter. We're looking at James 5:13-18!

In this episode, Rosalynde Welch speaks with Dr. Miranda Wilcox about the Maxwell Institute's Living Faith book series—nineteen volumes and counting—written for thoughtful Latter-day Saints seeking to integrate scholarship and discipleship. They discuss peacemaking and practical forgiveness in Seventy Times Seven, vocational discipleship in Counsel, Please Rise, and the enduring wisdom of Kate Holbrook's Both Things Are True. Along the way, Miranda offers a moving new reading of the mustard seed parable and shares why books—slow, sustained, carefully shaped—still matter. A thoughtful conversation about faith that shelters, truth that binds, and the patient work of making discipleship real.

In this episode of Two Pastors And A Mic, we tackle one of the hardest (and most freeing) parts of the faith journey: what it looks like to follow Jesus without needing to be certain about everything.A lot of us were formed in environments where certainty = faith… where having the “right answer” felt like safety, belonging, and control. But when deconstruction (or just honest questions) starts pulling at those threads, it can feel like you're losing your footing—even when you're actually gaining clarity.So we talk about the sin of certainty, why black-and-white theology feels stabilizing, and why learning to live in the “gray” isn't weakness—it might actually be the strongest version of faith.We unpack:Why uncertainty often feels like “stuckness” (Stuck 2.0)How seminary trained many of us to respond instead of thinkA real-time example of cognitive dissonance (who actually killed Goliath?)The difference between certainty and trust3 practical ways to live a faith that stays present, relational, and curiousWhy questions don't mean you're losing faith—they might mean you're growingIf you've ever thought, “If I'm not sure… am I still a Christian?” — this one's for you.

Welcome to our verse-by-verse study through the Book of James on The Finding Freedom Podcast

A living faith shows signs of life.

Join us as we begin in the book of James. Looking for a church?

In this week's episode of In The Room Podcast, we sit down with Jonah, Pastor Darius and Jean for a honest conversation about the difference between dead religion and a vibrant, Spirit-led life.Building off Pastor Troy's new sermon series, When the Holy Spirit Leads, we explore why recognizing and inviting the Holy Spirit into our daily lives is essential, not optional. Through personal testimonies and practical insight, this episode unpacks what it looks like to trust the Holy Spirit's leading and allow God's presence to shape how we live.

Title: Genuine Faith: Having a Living FaithText: James 2:14-26Tad CraigA living faith produces works of love.A living faith produces works of understanding.A living faith produces works of obedience.A living faith produces works of transformation.Please reach out to us via email at info@wilkesborobaptist.org

Authentic faith goes far beyond intellectual agreement with biblical truths - it produces genuine transformation in how we live. James addresses the critical distinction between dead faith and living faith, emphasizing that true faith naturally results in good works. This isn't about earning salvation through actions, but rather understanding that works are the inevitable fruit of genuine faith. As John Calvin noted, faith alone justifies, but the faith that justifies is never alone. James illustrates this principle through practical examples, showing how empty words without corresponding actions accomplish nothing. Just as telling a hungry, naked person to be warm and fed without providing help is meaningless, faith that produces no life change is equally useless. Even demons possess correct theology and believe in God, yet they remain in rebellion because their belief doesn't transform their hearts. The examples of Abraham and Rahab demonstrate how living faith manifests differently across various backgrounds. Abraham, the faithful patriarch, showed living faith by his willingness to sacrifice Isaac. Rahab, despite being a Gentile prostitute, demonstrated the same living faith by protecting the Israelite spies. Both were considered righteous not merely for their beliefs, but for how their faith produced action. This teaching doesn't contradict salvation by grace - rather, it explains how genuine salvation naturally produces visible fruit in a believer's life.

James 2:14–26 warns against reducing Christianity to a faith of empty words, void of action. While we are not part of God's family because of what we do, the faith that saves is never alone, it is living and active. James points us to Rahab and Abraham, where we see faith both proclaimed and demonstrated through mercy and obedience, even when trust in God was costly. Saved by grace through faith, believers are called to a living faith that bears fruit and longs for God's righteousness.

It feels like our nation's heart is broken by the enduring cruelty of our current leadership. The last two wells include the military takedown of Venezuela's President and Renee Good's murder at the hands of an ICE agents. Our conscience faith informs our conscience, demanding action. Yet our faithful action is driven by identity, not simply by the event of the moment. What do we do when we have no idea what to do?Support the show

Resolutions For A Living Faith by Pastor Dan DeBell

James 2 challenges us to examine whether our faith is dead or alive. Dead faith consists of empty words without action, like telling someone to be warm and fed while doing nothing to help them. Even demons have intellectual knowledge about God, but they remain unchanged. Living faith, however, produces tangible works that demonstrate genuine transformation. Abraham showed living faith by offering Isaac, and Rahab demonstrated it by helping the Israelite spies. True faith creates a partnership between belief and action, shaping how we lead our families spiritually, love our church, and live with purpose. The ultimate question is whether the life we're living is worthy of Christ's death on the cross.

Sunday PM - Mark

A special message from the Book of Habakkuk by Mr. Bob Rider, Calvary Chapel of the Cumberland Valley.

In his most recent books The Master and His Emissary (2009) and The Matter with Things (2021), psychiatrist and neuroscientist Ian McGilchrist has explored the meaning of the asymmetry between the right and left hemispheres of the brain. His thesis is that we are in a period in history where the West has become obsessed with the reductionistic, decontextualised, algorithmic thinking of the left brain, whilst devaluing the holistic, integrated and lived experience of the right brain. I will be exploring the implications of McGilchrist's thesis for Christian faith and asking whether his ideas might help us understand why many Christians today feel their faith lacks a living experience of God.Please note that the ideas expressed in this lecture do not necessarily represent the views of L'Abri Fellowship.For more resources, visit the L'Abri Ideas Library at labriideaslibrary.org. The library contains over two thousand lectures and discussions that explore questions about the reality and relevance of Christianity. This is a public episode. If you would like to discuss this with other subscribers or get access to bonus episodes, visit englishlabri.substack.com

In this episode, the pastors visit Freddy's Kitchen at the Yonder Cider Taproom in Cashmere, WA along with guest pastor, Zach Day, and ask the question God once posed to Ezekiel: “Can these bones live?” Together we explore how God breathes new life into what feels dead—our faith, relationships, and communities. Join us as we talk about moving beyond routine religion into the abundant, hope-filled life Jesus promises and how the church can be a place where dry bones come alive again.
