Passage: 12 “And now, Israel, what does the LORD your God require of you, but to fear the LORD your God, to walk in all his ways, to love him, to serve the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul, 13 and to keep the commandments and statutes of the LORD, which I am commanding you today for your good? 14 Behold, to the LORD your God belong heaven and the heaven of heavens, the earth with all that is in it. 15 Yet the LORD set his heart in love on your fathers and chose their offspring after them, you above all peoples, as you are this day.” (Deuteronomy 10:12–15 ESV) Song: Instrument of Peace by Isaac Wardell, Jessica Fox, Liz Vice, Orlando Palmer, and Paul Zach Lyrics: Lord make me An instrument of peace An instrument of peace Where is there hatred let me sow love Where there is darkness let me sow light For in the giving we shall receive And in the dying we're given life Lord make me An instrument of peace An instrument of peace Where there is sorrow let me sow hope Where there is doubt let me sow faith Where is injury your pardon give Your consolation to those in pain Lord make me An instrument of peace An instrument of peace Prayer: Lord, make me an instrument of your peace. Where there is hatred, let me sow love; Where there is injury, pardon; Where there is doubt, faith; Where there is despair, hope; Where there is darkness, light; Where there is sadness, joy. O Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek To be consoled as to console; To be understood as to understand; To be loved as to love. For it is in giving that we receive; It is in pardoning that we are pardoned; And it is in dying that we are born to eternal life. Amen. -A prayer attributed to St. Francis (ca. 1181–1226) of Assisi, Italy

Sermon on the Mount E24 –  Many of us first learned the King James translation of the final, personal request in the Lord's Prayer: “Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.” But does God actually lead us into temptation? In a motif that weaves throughout the Hebrew Bible, we see God allowing tests to strengthen his partnership with humans. When this motif picks up in the Gospel of Matthew, Jesus is the one experiencing testing. In this episode, Tim, Jon, and Michelle explore the theme of testing and temptation throughout the Bible and in the life of Jesus. From his own experience, Jesus teaches us to pray for protection from temptation and for rescue when it comes.View more resources on our website →Timestamps Chapter 1: (00:00-24:17)Chapter 2: (24:17-32:48)Chapter 3: (32:48-56:55)Referenced ResourcesCheck out Tim's library here.You can experience our entire library of resources in the BibleProject app, available for Android and iOS.Show Music Original Sermon on the Mount music by Richie KohenBibleProject theme song by TENTSShow CreditsJon Collins is the creative producer for today's show, and Tim Mackie is the lead scholar.

Sermon on the Mount E23 – The second half of the Lord's prayer contains four requests on behalf of the person praying. The second personal request is for God to forgive us. But forgiveness is not just a transaction between individuals or between God and humans. Forgiveness plays a central role in the arrival of God's Kingdom. In this episode, Jon, Tim, and Michelle explore what forgiveness is, what it isn't, and what it looks like to set each other free. View more resources on our website →Timestamps Chapter 1: A Conversation on Release, Repair, and Delivery from Sin (00:00-28:19)Chapter 2: Forgiveness in the Life and Teachings of Jesus (28:19-36:54)Chapter 3: Is There a Limit on Forgiveness?

Sermon on the Mount E22 – The first half of the Lord's Prayer features three requests on behalf of God and his Kingdom: he is our Father in the skies, whose name we recognize as holy and whose way of life we want to see on the land. The second half of the Lord's prayer focuses on four personal requests, where we seek to align our needs with God's wisdom.

Sermon on the Mount E21 – Prayer is at the center of the center of the Sermon on the Mount. And it's in this section of teaching that Jesus gives us a simple prayer that we can participate in. It's only 12 lines long, but it contains a universe of ideas that center us with God. In this episode, Jon and Tim discuss the first half of the prayer: “Our Father who is in the skies, may your name be recognized as holy.

Opening Song: We Believe in the Name by Isaac Wardell, Liz Vice, Orlando Palmer, and Paul Zach Lyrics: We believe in the saving power In the saving power Of the name His name is justice A mighty fortress A balm for the weary Our refuge and our strength His name is power Our strong deliverer We believe in Jesus name We believe in the name We believe in the healing power In the healing power Of the name What's His Name Jesus Passage: “This is my servant; I strengthen him, this is my chosen one; I delight in him. I have put my Spirit on him; he will bring justice to the nations. 2 He will not cry out or shout or make his voice heard in the streets. 3 He will not break a bruised reed, and he will not put out a smoldering wick; he will faithfully bring justice. 4 He will not grow weak or be discouraged until he has established justice on earth. The coasts and islands will wait for his instruction.” 5 This is what God, the Lord, says — who created the heavens and stretched them out, who spread out the earth and what comes from it, who gives breath to the people on it and spirit to those who walk on it — 6 “I am the Lord. I have called you for a righteous purpose, and I will hold you by your hand. I will watch over you, and I will appoint you to be a covenant for the people and a light to the nations, 7 in order to open blind eyes, to bring out prisoners from the dungeon, and those sitting in darkness from the prison house. 8 I am the Lord. That is my name, and I will not give my glory to another or my praise to idols. 9 The past events have indeed happened. Now I declare new events; I announce them to you before they occur.” -- Isaiah 42:1-9 (CSB) Musical Reflection: O Lord, Hear My Prayer by Jacques Berthier Reflection Notes: This song from the Taizé community contains a series of pleas: “O Lord, hear my prayer, O Lord, hear my prayer; when I call, answer me.” The repeated notes emphasize the insistence of the sung prayer, while the descending lines indicate a deep, almost despairing desire to connect. Prayer: Father, what we know not, teach us; what we have not, give us; what we are not, make us; for the sake of your Son our Savior. Amen. -Old Anglican Prayer

In the midst of so much sorrow and grief, we released Peace Songs, a record in partnership with Good Shepherd Collective on our Principles and Practices of Peacemaking.

Josh White, pastor of Door of Hope church in Portland, Oregon, speaks with Mike about the necessity of being honest with ourselves and honest about ourselves as we preach the gospel. They speak about the importance of confession, vulnerability and honesty. “Truth through Personality is our description of real preaching. The truth must come really through the person, not merely over his lips, not merely into his understanding and out through his pen. It must come through his character, his affections, his whole intellectual and moral being. It must come genuinely through him. I think that granting equal intelligence and study, here is the great difference which we feel between two preachers of the Word. The Gospel has come over one of them and reaches us tinged and flavored with his superficial characteristics, belittled with his littleness. The Gospel has come through the other, and we receive it impressed and winged with all the earnestness that there is in him. In the first case the man has been but a printing machine or a trumpet. In the other case he has been a true man and a real messenger of God.” Phillips Brooks (1835 – 1893) In Stumbling Toward Eternity: Losing and Finding Ourselves in the Cross of Jesus (Multnomah) writer, pastor, and recording artist Josh White offers confessional stories and theological insights as he interprets the pain and trauma of his own past, the complicated “mixture” of the present, and the beautiful uncertainty of the future through the lens of grace. Using crisp and honest prose, White reveals why the most familiar symbol of Christianity—the cross of Jesus—is also the most misunderstood. He shows us why the goal of our desperate existence is not arriving at perfection or success but knowing the crucified Christ.

Opening Song: Instrument of Peace (https://open.spotify.com/track/1SGPy5qVkxZZAOFpyAwG0y?si=a924ea5bd1f443da) by Isaac Wardell, Jessica Fox, Liz Vice, Orlando Palmer, and Paul Zach Lyrics: Lord make me An instrument of peace An instrument of peace Where is there hatred let me sow love Where there is darkness let me sow light For in the giving we shall receive And in the dying we're given life Lord make me An instrument of peace An instrument of peace Where there is sorrow let me sow hope Where there is doubt let me sow faith Where is injury your pardon give Your consolation to those in pain Lord make me An instrument of peace An instrument of peace Passage: 1 Give the king your justice, O God, and your righteousness to the royal son! 2 May he judge your people with righteousness, and your poor with justice! 3 Let the mountains bear prosperity for the people, and the hills, in righteousness! 4 May he defend the cause of the poor of the people, give deliverance to the children of the needy, and crush the oppressor! 5 May they fear you while the sun endures, and as long as the moon, throughout all generations! 6 May he be like rain that falls on the mown grass, like showers that water the earth! 7 In his days may the righteous flourish, and peace abound, till the moon be no more! 10 May the kings of Tarshish and of the coastlands render him tribute; may the kings of Sheba and Seba bring gifts! 11 May all kings fall down before him, all nations serve him! 12 For he delivers the needy when he calls, the poor and him who has no helper. 13 He has pity on the weak and the needy, and saves the lives of the needy. 14 From oppression and violence he redeems their life, and precious is their blood in his sight. (Psalm 72:1–7, 10–14 ESV) Musical Reflection: Prelude in C Major, BWV 846 by J.S. Bach Reflection Notes: Bach's well-known prelude spins out a series of modulations, almost imperceptible at first. The new harmonies continually unfold in a way that intrigues but never shocks. Prayer: O God, the King eternal, whose light divides the day from the night and turns the shadow of death into the morning: Drive far from us all wrong desires, incline our hearts to keep your law, and guide our feet into the way of peace; that, having done your will with cheerfulness during the day, we may, when night comes, rejoice to give you thanks; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

There you were hanging, transforming the pain into Entrance into your heart Before we could come in, you had to destroy within The dark that kept us apart Before we had heard of you, but had no concern for you Darkness was all around The wall was so high, no way to get by But then you tore it all down We crossed the threshold and death lost his control As the sun rose in our hearts We felt the warm embrace, of your sovereign grace Now, every day we can start To live and love with you, follow and worship you With songs that flow from our soul. Filled with the light of you, as we are led by you Longing with joy to be home Jesus come, take our hand Lead us into the promise land --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/julio-barreto-en-podcast/message

YOUNG OCEANS is a neo-alternative worship project that evolved from a gathering of musicians, re-imagining hymns in a New York City apartment. Untethered from the expectations of a traditional congregational format, these artful re-renderings gave birth to a sound that is at once familiar and refreshingly innovative. The musical ethos of Young Oceans emerged as more a companion to reflective prayer and meditation than to a typical church experience. In this episode, Stephen Roach talks with Young Oceans founder and songwriter, Eric Marshall about his latest project, Subjects In Motion. This full-length album features an all-star line up of artists such as Amanda Cook, Josh Garrels, Molly Pardon, Liz Vice, John Mark Pantana and many others, each singing new versions of previously released Young Ocean Songs.Patrons of the podcast can enjoy further discussions with Young Oceans on motivations in art making, radical individualism and collaboration.

Opening Song: Instrument of Peace (https://open.spotify.com/track/1SGPy5qVkxZZAOFpyAwG0y?si=3fa10c0537be4951) by Isaac Wardell, Jessica Fox, Liz Vice, Orlando Palmer, and Paul Zach Lyrics: Lord make me An instrument of peace An instrument of peace Where is there hatred let me sow love Where there is darkness let me sow light For in the giving we shall receive And in the dying we're given life Lord make me An instrument of peace An instrument of peace Where there is sorrow let me sow hope Where there is doubt let me sow faith Where is injury your pardon give Your consolation to those in pain Lord make me An instrument of peace An instrument of peace Passage: 1 A good name is to be chosen rather than great riches, and favor is better than silver or gold. 2 The rich and the poor meet together; the LORD is the Maker of them all. 8 Whoever sows injustice will reap calamity, and the rod of his fury will fail. 9 Whoever has a bountiful eye will be blessed, for he shares his bread with the poor. 22 Do not rob the poor, because he is poor, or crush the afflicted at the gate, 23 for the LORD will plead their cause and rob of life those who rob them. (Proverbs 22:1–2, 8–9, 22–23 ESV) Musical Reflection: “Air on the G String” from Orchestral Suite No. 3 in D Major by J.S. Bach Reflection Notes: The slow, descending bass line creates musical “steps” in an elegant fashion while a suspended melody several octaves above creates a satisfying combination of sound registers. Prayer: This is another day, O Lord. I know not what it will bring forth, but make me ready, Lord, for whatever it may be. If I am to stand up, help me to stand bravely. If I am to sit still, help me to sit quietly. If I am to lie low, help me to do it patiently. And if I am to do nothing, let me do it gallantly. Make these words more than words, and give me the Spirit of Jesus. Amen.

Meet the Wood Drake sessions. Comprised of musicians and ministers Paul Ranheim and Kirk Sauers, the long-time friends began songwriting over Zoom during COVID-19. And what began as long conversations reflecting on the chaos and pain in the world turned into music – an attempt to reorient their hearts towards God and find what was good and beautiful in the world. Jess chats to Paul and Kirk about their crowdfunded album, "From The Valley To the Golden Shore," and what it means to write music for the church that addresses Biblical truths like justice and equity.

Voices In My Head (The Rick Lee James Podcast) - Episode 472 - THE WOOD DRAKE SESSIONS with Paul Ranheim and Kirk Sauers Wood Drake Sessions' co-creators Paul Ranheim (top) and Kirk Sauers. About The Wood Drake Sessions Birthed in 2020 when longtime friends Paul Ranheim and Kirk Sauers began songwriting via Zoom, The Wood Drake Sessions is a creative collective seeking to provide inspired and timely worship songs for the Church. The Wood Drake Sessions also offers a variety of resources, including charts, lead sheets and tutorials to help worshiping communities sing together.    Ranheim is a multi-instrumentalist, singer/songwriter, worship leader, pastor and church planter currently on staff at Redeemer Longmont in Colorado. A Pacific Northwest native, he has served with Young Life as well as at churches in Spokane, Washington; Santa Barbara, California; St. Louis and Nashville, among others.    Currently a worship leader and artist-in-residence at First Presbyterian Church in Augusta, Georgia, Sauers spent eight years in Nashville as a songwriter, touring mandolinist and background vocalist. His acclaimed solo worship EP, Always and Forever, released in 2015 and Sauers' songs have been recorded by bluegrass favorite Lonesome River Band and chart-topping Canadian country artist Jess Moskaluke, among others.     THE WOOD DRAKE SESSIONS FULL-LENGTH DEBUT WITH SANDRA MCCRACKEN AND LESLIE JORDAN AMONG STANDOUT COLLABORATORS From the Valley to the Golden Shore Released April 29, 2022 NASHVILLE, Tenn.—From the Valley to the Golden Shore, the full-length debut from worship newcomers The Wood Drake Sessions, is set to bow April 29. Showcasing collaborations with such luminaries as bestselling singer/songwriter and worship leader Sandra McCracken; singer/songwriter Leslie Jordan (All Sons & Daughters); modern hymnist Wendell Kimbrough; and NPR-lauded singer/songwriter Liz Vice, among others, the album was written by The Wood Drake Sessions' co-creators Paul Ranheim and Kirk Sauers.     Produced by Lucas Morton, From the Valley to the Golden Shore features nine roots-based, organic pop tracks conveying the surety of Christ's sovereignty despite the turmoil of the times. Offering a preview of the album's overarching message, the April 15 Easter-themed single “All Will Be Well” is a Sauers-led track joyfully proclaiming Jesus' victory over death, “I'm alive/I have won/See the grave I've overcome.”     Additional highlights include album opener “Oh How Good To Be Together,” an engaging corporate worship anthem led by McCracken; “I See A King,” with Vice's signature vocals atop an R&B-infused groove celebrating the Savior who will right all wrongs; the Kimbrough-featured “Grace Will Prevail,” articulating God's unfailing promises; and Jordan's poignant closer, “Bountifully With Me,” a gentle song of praise for Christ's provision.    “Our great desire is to see the Church flourish today, and we believe new songs that capture God's faithfulness and great deeds in the midst of our cultural moment are important for her flourishing,” Sauers shares. “We hope our music can inspire and stir the affections of our hearts to continue to love, trust and enjoy God. We also envision these songs helping shape the faith of God's people as they sing them together in worshiping communities, serving not just to help us know Truth and inform our heads, but to feel Truth and shepherd our hearts.”    “All too often we feel like we're drowning in the noise of this world,” Ranheim adds. “We need to be reminded that we have a King who is coming, and believers of all cultures, races, and times—along with all creation itself—will rejoice at the restoration and shalom that Jesus will bring. We need songs that shape us to hope deeply in Him.”      “We wanted the album to be brought to life by a variety of people, to have greater representation than just our own voices,” Ranheim continues. “I still remember the moment I heard Sandra in my head singing ‘Oh How Good To Be Together,' and I knew she could make that song come to life unlike anyone else. Pretty soon we found ourselves reaching out to a handful of artists who all generously agreed to join in our mission.”   “The Wood Drake Sessions name was inspired by a Wendell Berry poem, ‘The Peace of Wild Things,'” explains Sauers of both the duo's moniker and mission. “When despair grows within, the poet writes of lying down ‘where the wood drake rests in his beauty on the water.' The imagery of a still and worriless creation extending its welcome of peace profoundly touched the ache of our hearts. Paul and I knew this was how we wanted our songs to exist—as works of art inviting us into the stillness of God's presence, the grace of His goodness, and the rest of perfect peace.”  For further information: visit thewooddrakesessions.com or turningpointpr.com.

Passage: 13 Be subject for the Lord's sake to every human institution, whether it be to the emperor as supreme, 14 or to governors as sent by him to punish those who do evil and to praise those who do good. 15 For this is the will of God, that by doing good you should put to silence the ignorance of foolish people. 16 Live as people who are free, not using your freedom as a cover-up for evil, but living as servants of God. 17 Honor everyone. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honor the emperor. 18 Servants, be subject to your masters with all respect, not only to the good and gentle but also to the unjust. 19 For this is a gracious thing, when, mindful of God, one endures sorrows while suffering unjustly. 20 For what credit is it if, when you sin and are beaten for it, you endure? But if when you do good and suffer for it you endure, this is a gracious thing in the sight of God. 21 For to this you have been called, because Christ also suffered for you, leaving you an example, so that you might follow in his steps. 22 He committed no sin, neither was deceit found in his mouth. 23 When he was reviled, he did not revile in return; when he suffered, he did not threaten, but continued entrusting himself to him who judges justly. 24 He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, that we might die to sin and live to righteousness. By his wounds you have been healed. 25 For you were straying like sheep, but have now returned to the Shepherd and Overseer of your souls. (1 Peter 2:13–25 ESV) Song: Instrument of Peace (https://open.spotify.com/track/1SGPy5qVkxZZAOFpyAwG0y?si=0d05685e6cd646a9) by Isaac Wardell, Jessica Fox, Liz Vice, Orlando Palmer, and Paul Zach Lyrics: Lord make me An instrument of peace An instrument of peace Where is there hatred let me sow love Where there is darkness let me sow light For in the giving we shall receive And in the dying we're given life Lord make me An instrument of peace An instrument of peace Where there is sorrow let me sow hope Where there is doubt let me sow faith Where is injury your pardon give Your consolation to those in pain Lord make me An instrument of peace An instrument of peace Prayer: This is another day, O Lord.

Josh White is a speaker, recording artist, writer, and lead pastor of Door of Hope, a thriving church community of more than 1,500 in the heart of Portland, Oregon, where Josh lives with his wife, Darcy; son, Henry; and daughter, Hattie. Josh has recorded multiple worship albums, including as frontman of Telecast, and produced many records, including Liz Vice's first album, There's a Light. When not preaching and leading Door of Hope, Josh is enjoying his family, obsessively reading (he actually is just obsessive), writing songs, designing spaces and currently working on his first book “Stumbling Toward Eternity.” Josh often refers to himself as the amateur pastor - for in the words of Robert Farrar Capon, “The amateur—the lover, the man who thinks heedlessness a sin and boredom a heresy—is just the man you need. More than that, whether you think you need him or not, he is a man who is bound, by his love, to speak. The role of the amateur: to look the world back to grace.”

Opening Song: We Will Make No Peace with Oppression (https://open.spotify.com/track/7hIH3fbSqR5kZGCw7IDBfv?si=570c97fadfb94190) by Isaac Wardell, Liz Vice, Orlando Palmer, and Paul Zach Lyrics: We will make no peace No peace We'll make no peace with oppression Won't turn away from the pain of our brother Cries of our sister Grieving of our mothers Won't turn away from destructive politicians Our overflowing prisons Corruption in our systems We will make no peace No peace We'll make no peace with oppression Those who live by the sword will die by the sword We will stand against violence of every form We will march in the street no justice no peace Arm and arm with our neighbor 'til we all stand free Almighty God help us not to be afraid Almighty God give us your strength Passage: 1 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 2 “Speak to all the congregation of the people of Israel and say to them, You shall be holy, for I the LORD your God am holy. 9 “When you reap the harvest of your land, you shall not reap your field right up to its edge, neither shall you gather the gleanings after your harvest. 10 And you shall not strip your vineyard bare, neither shall you gather the fallen grapes of your vineyard. You shall leave them for the poor and for the sojourner: I am the LORD your God. 11 “You shall not steal; you shall not deal falsely; you shall not lie to one another. 12 You shall not swear by my name falsely, and so profane the name of your God: I am the LORD. 13 “You shall not oppress your neighbor or rob him. The wages of a hired worker shall not remain with you all night until the morning. 14 You shall not curse the deaf or put a stumbling block before the blind, but you shall fear your God: I am the LORD. 15 “You shall do no injustice in court. You shall not be partial to the poor or defer to the great, but in righteousness shall you judge your neighbor. 16 You shall not go around as a slanderer among your people, and you shall not stand up against the life of your neighbor: I am the LORD. 17 “You shall not hate your brother in your heart, but you shall reason frankly with your neighbor, lest you incur sin because of him. 18 You shall not take vengeance or bear a grudge against the sons of your own people, but you shall love your neighbor as yourself: I am the LORD. (Leviticus 19:1–2, 9–18 ESV) Musical Reflection: Bless the Lord, My Soul by Jacques Berthier Reflection Notes: A contribution to the Taizé tradition, this tune by Berthier provides a reverent foundation for the text: “Bless the Lord, my soul, and bless God's holy name. Bless the Lord, my soul, who leads me into life.” Prayer: Father, what we know not, teach us; what we have not, give us; what we are not, make us; for the sake of your Son our Savior. Amen. -Old Anglican Prayer

Opening Song: Instrument of Peace by Isaac Wardell, Jessica Fox, Liz Vice, Orlando Palmer, and Paul Zach Lyrics: Lord make me An instrument of peace An instrument of peace   Where is there hatred let me sow love Where there is darkness let me sow light For in the giving we shall receive And in the dying we're given life   Lord make me An instrument of peace An instrument of peace    Where there is sorrow let me sow hope Where there is doubt let me sow faith Where is injury your pardon give Your consolation to those in pain   Lord make me An instrument of peace An instrument of peace Passage:  27   “But I say to you who hear, Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, 28 bless those who curse you, pray for those who abuse you. 29 To one who strikes you on the cheek, offer the other also, and from one who takes away your cloak do not withhold your tunic either. 30 Give to everyone who begs from you, and from one who takes away your goods do not demand them back. 31 And as you wish that others would do to you, do so to them. 32 “If you love those who love you, what benefit is that to you? For even sinners love those who love them. 33 And if you do good to those who do good to you, what benefit is that to you? For even sinners do the same. 34 And if you lend to those from whom you expect to receive, what credit is that to you? Even sinners lend to sinners, to get back the same amount. 35 But love your enemies, and do good, and lend, expecting nothing in return, and your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High, for he is kind to the ungrateful and the evil. 36 Be merciful, even as your Father is merciful.   37 “Judge not, and you will not be judged; condemn not, and you will not be condemned; forgive, and you will be forgiven; 38 give, and it will be given to you. Good measure, pressed down, shaken together, running over, will be put into your lap. For with the measure you use it will be measured back to you.”   (Luke 6:27–38 ESV)   Musical Reflection:  Prelude in C Major, BWV 846 by J.S. Bach  Reflection Notes:  Bach's well-known prelude spins out a series of modulations, almost imperceptible at first. The new harmonies continually unfold in a way that intrigues but never shocks. Prayer: O Lord, support us all the day long through this trouble-filled life, until the shadows lengthen, and the evening comes, and the busy world is hushed, and the fever of life is over, and our work is done. Then in your mercy grant us a safe lodging, and a holy rest, and peace at the last. Amen.

“Why would a good and loving God allow evil and suffering?” is one of the most fundamental questions humans have been asking for millennia. Maybe the answer isn't as mysterious or complicated as we've made it. And maybe it's better than we ever dared hope. Episode Breakdown: 00:43 Welcome to the basement 01:52 A common Q religions try to answer 05:05 Two types of people… 07:05 Keep the framework going 08:10 Why IS there evil? 10:55 …and suffering? 13:00 There might be reasons 14:45 Christianity's answer 17:30 a BIG difference 20:45 It's personal 21:10 So what do we do?!?! 25:10 What year is it? and some news

(Psalm 72:1–7, 10–14 ESV) Musical Reflection:  Prelude in C Major, BWV 846 by J.S. Bach  Reflection Notes:  Bach's well-known prelude spins out a series of modulations, almost imperceptible at first. The new harmonies continually unfold in a way that intrigues but never shocks. Prayer:  O God, the King eternal, whose light divides the day from the night and turns the shadow of death into the morning: Drive far from us all wrong desires, incline our hearts to keep your law, and guide our feet into the way of peace; that, having done your will with cheerfulness during the day, we may, when night comes, rejoice to give you thanks; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

Listen to better music, and listen to music better.   After a twenty-year break – True Tunes is back! The tools are different this time. There's no store, no venue, and no sponsored stages at a major festival. What we have now are lots of stories to tell about lessons learned, visions caught, questions articulated, and community embraced. Join host John J. Thompson and his wide range of guests as we dig for the good stuff. And whether you were a part of the journey with us the first time around, or you're brand new to this conversation, if you're ready to dive into the deep end of the musical pool – where the sounds resonate in ways that defy our labels, then this conversation is for you.   Join us as we converse with musicians, songwriters, producers, and music industry leaders – from legends and obscure geniuses of the past to some of the freshest new voices emerging today. Some examples of the voices you've heard so far include Buddy Miller, Amy Grant, Steve Taylor, Charlie Peacock, Ian Fitchuk, Natalie Bergman, The Choir, Kevin Max, Waterdeep, Gungor, Liz Vice, Sandra McCracken, Eddie DeGarmo, Taylor Leonhardt, Jimmy Abegg, Michael McDermott, Christa Wells, Ella Mine, and rare archive interviews with Larry Norman and Rich Mullins. We also crank up our trusty Jukebox and listen carefully to some amazing music along the way. And we are truly just getting started.   So get yourself something to drink, pull up a chair, and make yourself comfortable, or maybe get your favorite headphones and head outside for a nice walk with us - as we listen to better music, and listen to music better, together.   On the True Tunes Podcast   Produced by John J. Thompson and Bruce A. Brown for Gyroscope Productions. Available on all podcast platforms. Full show notes and episode list available at TrueTunes.com/podcast-show-notes/

Opening Song:  I Will Hold On by Russ Mohr, Liz Vice, and The Kingdom Sessions Lyrics: In the beginning Lord, You promised You would redeem all things (You would redeem all things) All of the lies that we're spoken All of the trust that was broken All of our debts repaid (All of our debts repaid)   So I will hold on To Your promises I will hold on To Your promises I will hold on To Your promises Forever and amen Forever and amen Through Your Spirit Lord, You promised You'll never leave me (You'll never leave me) So with Your hands I am reaching With Your words I am speaking Lord, come and fill me (Lord, come and fill me)   And I will hold on To Your promises I will hold on To Your promises I will hold on To Your promises Forever and amen  Forever and amen    And when that day comes Lord, You promised You're making all thing new (You're making all thing new) No more nations divided And Your Kingdom united Forever we'll reign with You (Forever) [Chorus: Both] So I will hold on To Your promises I will hold on To Your promises I will hold on To Your promises Forever and amen Forever and amen   'Cause I know You're working Working for my good (For my good)  You are working all things  You are working all things You are working all things So I count it all joy  I count it all joy  Oh, I count it all joy  Forever and amen Forever and amen Forever and amen  Forever and amen Forever and amen Passage:  2 Corinthians 6:1-13   1 Working together with him, then, we appeal to you not to receive the grace of God in vain. 2 For he says, “In a favorable time I listened to you, and in a day of salvation I have helped you.” Behold, now is the favorable time; behold, now is the day of salvation. 3 We put no obstacle in anyone's way, so that no fault may be found with our ministry, 4 but as servants of God we commend ourselves in every way: by great endurance, in afflictions, hardships, calamities, 5 beatings, imprisonments, riots, labors, sleepless nights, hunger; 6 by purity, knowledge, patience, kindness, the Holy Spirit, genuine love; 7 by truthful speech, and the power of God; with the weapons of righteousness for the right hand and for the left; 8 through honor and dishonor, through slander and praise. We are treated as impostors, and yet are true; 9 as unknown, and yet well known; as dying, and behold, we live; as punished, and yet not killed; 10 as sorrowful, yet always rejoicing; as poor, yet making many rich; as having nothing, yet possessing everything.   11 We have spoken freely to you, Corinthians; our heart is wide open. 12 You are not restricted by us, but you are restricted in your own affections. 13 In return (I speak as to children) widen your hearts also. Musical Reflection:  Schubert's 6 Moments musicaux, Op. 94 D.780: No. 2 in A flat, Andantino (0:00-1:02) Reflection Notes:  This piece by Schubert contrasts major and minor at the opening, suggesting inner turmoil. We find a similar conflict in today's passage and song selection between the persecution we will face for our Christian walk and the glory of fulfilling God's promises.  Prayer:  Most loving Father, whose will it is for us to give thanks for all things, to fear nothing but the loss of you, and to cast all our care on you who care for us: Preserve us from faithless fears and worldly anxieties, that no clouds of this mortal life may hide from us the light of that love which is immortal, and which you have manifested to us in your Son Jesus Christ our Lord; who lives and reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen.

Do you feel like the world is closing in on you sometimes? We all do. When a business agreement seemed to go south yesterday, I found my self in a pit of fear and chaos. Fortunately, I've learned that in the darkest places is where the brightest lights can be found. When we submit to the fact that no one on earth is coming to save us, liberation and power comes in the form of a request: "save me."
