Sick of being under Israelite subjugation, the nation of Moab rose in revolt. King Joram quickly sent word to King Jehoshaphat and the nation of Edom asking for help. As the three kings and their armies were marching up for battle they ran out of provisions. Frightened, the kings sent for Elisha that he might inquire of God on their behalf.

In Parshas Chukas, we read about a highly unusual mitzvah: The Red Heifer, when an entirely red cow is burned together with a motley concoction of ingredients, and the resultant ashes are used to sprinkle on people that came into contact with dead people in order to purify them from their spiritual contamination. We also learn about the passing of Miriam and Aaron, and the multiple battles that the nation participated in on the Eastern bank of the Jordan, and we puzzle over the sin that condemned Moses and Aaron to die before entering the Land. Parshas Balak begins after the Jewish nation trounced the mighty kingdoms of Sichon and Og, the comparatively smaller and weaker kingdom of Moab resorted to unconventional warfare to attack the nation by hiring the prophet of the nations, a wily and devious character named Bilaam, to curse the Jews. It did not work out as planned.– – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – –DONATE: Please consider supporting the podcasts by making a donation to help fund our Jewish outreach and educational efforts at https://www.torchweb.org/support.php.

14 And they lifted up their voices and wept again; and Orpah kissed her mother-in-law, but Ruth clung to her. 15 Then she said, “Behold, your sister-in-law has gone back to her people and her gods; return after your sister-in-law.” 16 But Ruth said, “Do not urge me to leave you or turn back from following you; for where you go, I will go, and where you lodge, I will lodge. Your people shall be my people, and your God, my God. 17 Where you die, I will die, and there I will be buried. Thus may the Lord do to me, and worse, if anything but death parts you and me.” 18 When she saw that she was determined to go with her, she said no more to her. 19 So they both went until they came to Bethlehem. And when they had come to Bethlehem, all the city was stirred because of them, and the women said, “Is this Naomi?” 20 She said to them, “Do not call me Naomi; call me Mara, for the Almighty has dealt very bitterly with me. 21 I went out full, but the Lord has brought me back empty. Why do you call me Naomi, since the Lord has witnessed against me and the Almighty has afflicted me?” 22 So Naomi returned, and with her Ruth the Moabitess, her daughter-in-law, who returned from the land of Moab. And they came to Bethlehem at the beginning of barley harvest. (NASB 1995)

We explore the intriguing story of Balaam and his talking donkey, a preview into what God will do with this pagan prophet. As Israel completes its journey to the plains of Moab, King Balak of Moab seeks to curse the Israelites through the pagan prophet Balaam. Despite initially refusing, Balaam sets out for Moab, only to be confronted by an angel of the Lord, unseen by him but visible to his donkey. After the donkey speaks, Balaam's eyes are opened to the divine presence, and he is instructed to only speak God's words. Support the showRead along with us in the Bible Brief App!

This lecture continues a teaching on the Book of Ruth by explaining where Ruth sits in the Christian Old Testament and in the Hebrew Scriptures. The speaker says both placements are meaningful: the Christian order links Ruth to the time of the judges and the rise of monarchy, while the Hebrew order places it among writings that reflect on life while God's people are not yet home.The sermon focuses on two perspectives: people who are on the move, like Naomi and Ruth returning from Moab, and people who are established in the land, like Boaz. These two viewpoints frame the question of how God's people should live in exile, or in a place that is not their final home.Chapter 2 is then introduced through Naomi and Ruth's poverty and vulnerability. Ruth goes out to glean grain in the harvest field, a practice supported by Old Testament law that provided for foreigners, widows, and the poor. The speaker emphasizes that this law shows God's care for those on the margins.The narrative is described as full of providential “just so happened” moments. Ruth ends up in Boaz's field, and Boaz arrives at just the right time. This leads to a discussion of God's sovereignty and providence, meaning that God has rightful rule over creation and is involved in events, even when they appear ordinary.The lecture also addresses suffering and the difficulty of understanding evil under God's rule. It says the Bible does not explain everything, but it does call for two faithful responses: lament in times of pain and gratitude in times of provision. Naomi's grief in chapter 1 is contrasted with her blessing in chapter 2.Boaz is then shown acting with unusual generosity toward Ruth. He protects her, allows her to glean, invites her to eat with his workers, and instructs his servants to leave extra grain for her. The speaker presents this as a model of kindness toward a vulnerable foreign widow.The sermon closes by connecting Boaz's actions to Jesus, who brings outsiders near. It also links the passage to the present-day reality of global displacement and encourages attention to refugees and other vulnerable people, including through World Relief Baltimore.

The Song of Moses15.1 Then Moses and the people of Israel sang this song to the Lord, saying,“I will sing to the Lord, for he has triumphed gloriously;    the horse and his rider he has thrown into the sea.2 The Lord is my strength and my song,    and he has become my salvation;this is my God, and I will praise him,    my father's God, and I will exalt him.3 The Lord is a man of war;    the Lord is his name.4 “Pharaoh's chariots and his host he cast into the sea,    and his chosen officers were sunk in the Red Sea.5 The floods covered them;    they went down into the depths like a stone.6 Your right hand, O Lord, glorious in power,    your right hand, O Lord, shatters the enemy.7 In the greatness of your majesty you overthrow your adversaries;    you send out your fury; it consumes them like stubble.8 At the blast of your nostrils the waters piled up;    the floods stood up in a heap;    the deeps congealed in the heart of the sea.9 The enemy said, ‘I will pursue, I will overtake,    I will divide the spoil, my desire shall have its fill of them.    I will draw my sword; my hand shall destroy them.'10 You blew with your wind; the sea covered them;    they sank like lead in the mighty waters.11 “Who is like you, O Lord, among the gods?    Who is like you, majestic in holiness,    awesome in glorious deeds, doing wonders?12 You stretched out your right hand;    the earth swallowed them.13 “You have led in your steadfast love the people whom you have redeemed;    you have guided them by your strength to your holy abode.14 The peoples have heard; they tremble;    pangs have seized the inhabitants of Philistia.15 Now are the chiefs of Edom dismayed;    trembling seizes the leaders of Moab;    all the inhabitants of Canaan have melted away.16 Terror and dread fall upon them;    because of the greatness of your arm, they are still as a stone,till your people, O Lord, pass by,    till the people pass by whom you have purchased.17 You will bring them in and plant them on your own mountain,    the place, O Lord, which you have made for your abode,    the sanctuary, O Lord, which your hands have established.18 The Lord will reign forever and ever.”19 For when the horses of Pharaoh with his chariots and his horsemen went into the sea, the Lord brought back the waters of the sea upon them, but the people of Israel walked on dry ground in the midst of the sea. 20 Then Miriam the prophetess, the sister of Aaron, took a tambourine in her hand, and all the women went out after her with tambourines and dancing. 21 And Miriam sang to them:“Sing to the Lord, for he has triumphed gloriously;the horse and his rider he has thrown into the sea.”

On that day they read in the book of Moses in the audience of the people; and therein was found written, that the Ammonite and the Moabite should not come into the congregation of God for ever;2 Because they met not the children of Israel with bread and with water, but hired Balaam against them, that he should curse them: howbeit our God turned the curse into a blessing.3 Now it came to pass, when they had heard the law, that they separated from Israel all the mixed multitude.4 And before this, Eliashib the priest, having the oversight of the chamber of the house of our God, was allied unto Tobiah:5 And he had prepared for him a great chamber, where aforetime they laid the meat offerings, the frankincense, and the vessels, and the tithes of the corn, the new wine, and the oil, which was commanded to be given to the Levites, and the singers, and the porters; and the offerings of the priests.6 But in all this time was not I at Jerusalem: for in the two and thirtieth year of Artaxerxes king of Babylon came I unto the king, and after certain days obtained I leave of the king:7 And I came to Jerusalem, and understood of the evil that Eliashib did for Tobiah, in preparing him a chamber in the courts of the house of God.8 And it grieved me sore: therefore I cast forth all the household stuff to Tobiah out of the chamber.9 Then I commanded, and they cleansed the chambers: and thither brought I again the vessels of the house of God, with the meat offering and the frankincense.10 And I perceived that the portions of the Levites had not been given them: for the Levites and the singers, that did the work, were fled every one to his field.11 Then contended I with the rulers, and said, Why is the house of God forsaken? And I gathered them together, and set them in their place.12 Then brought all Judah the tithe of the corn and the new wine and the oil unto the treasuries.13 And I made treasurers over the treasuries, Shelemiah the priest, and Zadok the scribe, and of the Levites, Pedaiah: and next to them was Hanan the son of Zaccur, the son of Mattaniah: for they were counted faithful, and their office was to distribute unto their brethren.14 Remember me, O my God, concerning this, and wipe not out my good deeds that I have done for the house of my God, and for the offices thereof.15 In those days saw I in Judah some treading wine presses on the sabbath, and bringing in sheaves, and lading asses; as also wine, grapes, and figs, and all manner of burdens, which they brought into Jerusalem on the sabbath day: and I testified against them in the day wherein they sold victuals.16 There dwelt men of Tyre also therein, which brought fish, and all manner of ware, and sold on the sabbath unto the children of Judah, and in Jerusalem.17 Then I contended with the nobles of Judah, and said unto them, What evil thing is this that ye do, and profane the sabbath day?18 Did not your fathers thus, and did not our God bring all this evil upon us, and upon this city? yet ye bring more wrath upon Israel by profaning the sabbath.19 And it came to pass, that when the gates of Jerusalem began to be dark before the sabbath, I commanded that the gates should be shut, and charged that they should not be opened till after the sabbath: and some of my servants set I at the gates, that there should no burden be brought in on the sabbath day.20 So the merchants and sellers of all kind of ware lodged without Jerusalem once or twice.21 Then I testified against them, and said unto them, Why lodge ye about the wall? if ye do so again, I will lay hands on you. From that time forth came they no more on the sabbath.22 And I commanded the Levites that they should cleanse themselves, and that they should come and keep the gates, to sanctify the sabbath day. Remember me, O my God, concerning this also, and spare me according to the greatness of thy mercy.23 In those days also saw I Jews that had married wives of Ashdod, of Ammon, and of Moab:24 And their children spake half in the speech of Ashdod, and could not speak in the Jews' language, but according to the language of each people.25 And I contended with them, and cursed them, and smote certain of them, and plucked off their hair, and made them swear by God, saying, Ye shall not give your daughters unto their sons, nor take their daughters unto your sons, or for yourselves.26 Did not Solomon king of Israel sin by these things? yet among many nations was there no king like him, who was beloved of his God, and God made him king over all Israel: nevertheless even him did outlandish women cause to sin.27 Shall we then hearken unto you to do all this great evil, to transgress against our God in marrying strange wives?28 And one of the sons of Joiada, the son of Eliashib the high priest, was son in law to Sanballat the Horonite: therefore I chased him from me.29 Remember them, O my God, because they have defiled the priesthood, and the covenant of the priesthood, and of the Levites.30 Thus cleansed I them from all strangers, and appointed the wards of the priests and the Levites, every one in his business;31 And for the wood offering, at times appointed, and for the firstfruits. Remember me, O my God, for good.

In a world of injustice, what hope is there? In today's sermon in Zephaniah we see how God's judgement means hope for God's people. Come and see how the refining fire of the Lord's judgement brings the justice we long for and points us to Jesus. Judgement for the Nations and Hope for Judah (2:4-15) a) Philistia (West) - vv4-7 b) Moab & Ammon (East) - vv8-11 c) Cush (South) - v12 d) Assyria (North) - vv13-15 God's People Fail... so wait for the Lord! (3:1-8)

Prophecies against Egypt, Philistia, and Moab. Egypt will recover. Moab, only in the latter days.

Welcome to your weekly UAS News Update. We have three stories for you this week. First, the FAA adds a new DHS authorization path for World Cup NOTAMs, a firefighting helicopter in Utah dodges an unauthorized drone, and AirData and LeoSight team up to bring live drone data to DFR programs. Let's get to it.First up this week, the FAA is modifying all of its FIFA World Cup 2026 drone NOTAMs to add an authorization pathway through the Department of Homeland Security. If you're flying commercial jobs where these TFRs are, you'll want to pay attention to this. The sweeping flight restrictions took effect on June 1st and immediately started grounding commercial drone operators who already held airspace authorizations. The stadium rings alone run 3 nautical miles wide and 3,000 feet tall on every match day, plus there are 1-nautical-mile rings over base camps in cities, hundreds of miles from any match. To fix this, the FAA is adding language that allows operations inside the Special Security Instruction airspace with DHS authorization. For Part 107 and Part 135 operations, you can now email your request to drones@dhs.gov. You'll need to include which flight restricted zone you plan to fly in, the cities covered, and a 24/7 point of contact. They're starting with the Texas locations first, like Houston and Dallas, before rolling it out to other states. If you don't have permission, or are denied, don't fly… Civil penalties for violating these TFRs can reach $75,000 per violation. And remember, until the amended language actually appears on a specific NOTAM at tfr.faa.gov, the existing restriction stands. So please, check before you fly.Speaking of TFRs, a firefighting helicopter working a brush fire near Moab, Utah, had to dodge an unauthorized drone over the active fire area. Thankfully, nobody was hurt and nothing collided this time, but the drone's presence alone created a serious safety hazard and forced the crew to clear the airspace. This incident comes 17 months after a DJI Mini 3 Pro struck the left wing of a Canadair CL-415 Super Scooper over the Palisades Fire in Los Angeles. That sub-250-gram drone punched a 3-by-6-inch hole in the wing, grounding the aircraft for five days during a massive emergency. The pilot in that case was sentenced to 14 days in federal prison and ordered to pay $156,000 in restitution. This is your reminder as we get into wildfire season, don't be that guy…Last up, LeoSight, a unified command software platform for public safety, has integrated with AirData UAV. This integration streams real-time drone telemetry, flight data, and operational insights directly into LeoSight's LeoCommand system, which includes more than just drones. If you aren't familiar, AirData is a platform that supports logging and live flight streaming. Now, mutual customers can stream drone data straight to dispatchers, command staff, and field personnel all at the exact same time. This means moving beyond isolated drone operations and into a fully coordinated response across multi-agency events. It'll be interesting to see if the sharing of data overwhelms folks who have other responsibilities or leads to better in-the-field decision making. No post flight this week, we'll see you on Monday for the live! Have a good one!https://dronexl.co/2026/06/09/faa-world-cup-notam-dhs-drone-authorization/https://dronexl.co/2026/06/09/moab-helicopter-drone-near-miss-super-scooper/https://dronelife.com/2026/06/10/airdata-uav-and-leosight-bring-live-drone-data-for-dfr-programs/

Send us Fan MailRory Irish is the owner of Trail Mater and Moab Motorsports, an off-road recovery operation based in Utah. In this episode, he shares his unconventional path from surveying and pipeline welding in Colorado to becoming a YouTube sensation and industry figure.Rory bounced between Moab, Utah and western Colorado throughout his childhood. After dropping out of high school, he earned his GED (scoring highest in Colorado that year) and spent five years as a surveyor before transitioning into construction and the oil field, where he learned welding.Ten years ago, Rory moved back to Moab to build his recovery business, initially working at Moab 4x4 Outpost. When the original owner relocated, Rory and an investor purchased the shop, later buying out the investor in 2020. The COVID-19 pandemic pushed him toward full-time recovery work and YouTube content creation.  Trail Mater evolved from a simple tow truck into a specialized off-road recovery vehicle equipped with winches, welders, and custom tools. His YouTube channel now has massive reach.  Rory emphasizes that he's an off-road recovery company first, YouTube channel second. He works closely with BLM and National Park Service to minimize environmental impact and refuses to stage recoveries for views.Support the show

This chapter highlights God's punishment against Moab, Judah and Israel.

This lecture introduces the book of Ruth as a story that asks whether God's love can reach people in grief, displacement, and loss. It contrasts Ruth with a tragedy and notes that, very early in the narrative, the stage is emptied of men and the focus falls on three women.The speaker outlines the setting as the period of the judges, described as a time of rebellion, violence, and instability in Israel. Elimelech, Naomi, and their two sons leave Bethlehem because of famine and go to Moab, where Elimelech dies and later both sons also die after marrying Moabite women, Orpah and Ruth.The lecture emphasizes the depth of Naomi's loss: she is left in a foreign land without husband, sons, or grandchildren, after years of childlessness and waiting. The speaker highlights the biblical honesty of the story, which places suffering and blessing side by side without resolving the tension.A major theme is the Hebrew word chesed, translated as lovingkindness or steadfast love. Naomi uses this language to bless her daughters-in-law, and the speaker presents Ruth's loyalty as a striking example of clinging commitment, especially in a context where marriage and children were normally seen as a woman's security and future.Ruth's speech to Naomi is presented as one of the book's central moments: she pledges to stay with Naomi, adopt her people, and share her future and burial. Naomi returns to Bethlehem in bitterness, saying that the Lord has dealt harshly with her, and the speaker notes that Scripture often gives space to this kind of lament.The lecture closes by pointing forward to God's continued work through human relationships and to Jesus as the fullest expression of all-in love. It concludes with an invitation to bring prayer for oneself or for others who are in a Naomi-like season of loss.

'I remember so much of it... In my previous traumas, I blacked out a lot of the very traumatic stuff... but this one was different.' Today, we're joined by Lizzy Fowler, an ultra-marathon trail runner and award-winning documentary filmmaker. After finding her own passion for running while exploring the neuroscience of the "flow state" in her film work, Lizzy has gone on to complete grueling races like the Moab 240. Now, she's channeling that experience into her next challenge: a Fastest Known Time attempt on the legendary John Muir Trail, along with her mission ahead to empower other women along the way.

What Happens When Praise Goes First? 2 Chronicles 20:21-22 "After consulting the people, Jehoshaphat appointed men to sing to the Lord and to praise him for the splendor of his holiness as they went out at the head of the army, saying: “Give thanks to the Lord, for his love endures forever.”As they began to sing and praise, the Lord set ambushes against the men of Ammon and Moab and Mount Seir who were invading Judah, and they were defeated.” In this chapter of Chronicles, God's people have armies coming to attack them from three different places.  Things were not looking good.  Then the Spirit of the Lord came upon Jahaziel, son of Zechariah, as he stood in the assembly.  He told the king and all the people of Judah that they shouldn't be afraid because this was not their fight. It was God's fight.  He told them to march down against the invading armies, but that they would not have to fight the battle.  This is where the verse picks up.  “After consulting the people, Jehoshaphat appointed men to sing to the Lord and to praise him for the splendor of his holiness as they went out at the head of the army, saying: 'Give thanks to the Lord, for his love endures forever.” Jehoshaphat and his army were headed into what seemed like a hopeless battle.  There were three different armies waiting to destroy them and take their land.  You would think they would have the soldiers lead them in this battle.  Even if they trusted God, you would think that just to be on the safe side, you would have the soldiers go first.  However, King Jehoshaphat appointed men to sing to the Lord and to praise Him for the splendor of his holiness as they went out to face the armies.  “As they began to sing and praise, the Lord set ambushes against the men of Ammon and Moab and Mount Seir who were invading Judah, and they were defeated.” Did you catch that last part?  It doesn't say that once they started fighting, the Lord gave them victory.  It doesn't say their enemy was defeated by their mighty hand.  It says that as they began to sing and praise, the Lord set ambushes against their enemy, and they were defeated.  They didn't even have to fight a single person.  They didn't have to lift their hands at all in this fight. They just needed to lift up their voices.   Do you have enemies that you need to defeat?  Are you praising God now while you are in the middle of it, or are you waiting until you get out of it? Sometimes we are trying to fight our enemies on our own.  We know we need God, and yet we ask Him for so much that we feel we should try to do this one on our own.  Yet, instead of leading with praise, we lead with anger, frustration, sadness, jealousy, and whatever other emotions we are feeling at the moment.  Can you think of a time when you have charged into a situation with your emotions leading the way?  How did that work out for you?  For me, it never works out.  When I go into a situation on my own without inviting the Lord to come with me, it never works out as I intended it to.  However, when I do think to praise the Lord while I am in the middle of a difficult situation, it always turns out well.   There are times when we think God has abandoned us.  We are praying and it does not seem like He is with us. Maybe we are the ones who have abandoned God.  We may be praying, but are we praying with a hopeful heart?  Are we trusting God will come through for us when we pray?  Are we praising God for all He does for us?  God is working in our lives every single day. Are we praising Him for that?  I talk a lot about gratitude because I think it is so important to go through life being grateful for what we have.  I think when we are grateful for what we have, God blesses us with more.  Being grateful is also a great way to shift our mood if we are feeling sad or having a bad day.  Sometimes, all it takes is a perspective switch, and we can turn our whole day around.   Praise is different from gratitude.  Sometimes, we can be praising God for what we have and what He has done for us, and yet praise is so much more than that.  We can also praise God for who He is.  Sometimes we are in a situation where we may not want to or be able to praise God for the situation. For instance, in this verse, God's people were not praising God for the situation they were in.  They were not grateful that they had three armies coming after them.  They were praising God for “the splendor of His Holiness.”  They were praising God for who He is.  He is the Fountain of Life.  He is the great “I AM.”  He is the Just One, and He is the King of kings.  He is the Lord of Lords, and He is the Light of the world.  He is the Lord our God.  He is the Way, the Truth, and the Life.   How often are you praising God for simply being God?  How often are you spending time in prayer, thanking and praising God for being everything you need Him to be?  Maybe the next time we are in a hard situation, instead of charging into the situation with our guns blazing, we can lead with our praise.  Instead of leading with our anger, frustration, and sadness, we can lead with our praise.  God is always there for us.  Let's be there for Him.  Let's give God the praise that He so rightly deserves.  The thought just came to me that not everyone knows how to praise God.  There is no specific way.  I love to listen to praise and worship music, which is really any Christian music.  I am also part of a prayer group, and we praise out loud to the Lord, thanking Him for all He has done and all He Is.  I say phrases such as those listed above, things such as, you are the Light of the World, You are the Word made flesh, You are the King of the Kings.  You can also think back to all you have and thank God for that one by one.  You can thank God for everyone He has brought into your life.  Praise is time spent with the Lord when you are either thanking Him for something or you are talking about all the reasons He is awesome!!  I challenge you to find some time in your day-to-day and praise the Lord.  You can do it silently within your own heart, or you can shout it from the rooftops and everything in between.  Whatever you feel comfortable with.  The more you praise, the more comfortable it will feel to you.  Also, the more you praise, the more you will see God working in your life.   Dear Heavenly Father, I ask you to bless all those listening to this episode today.  Lord, help us to praise you more.  Put praise for you on our hearts so we long to do it.  Give us a thirst for praising you, Lord.  It is so amazing how you defeated Judah's enemy when they started to praise you.  Lord, we have many enemies, and we need you to defeat them.  Help us to praise you first instead of trying to fix it all ourselves.  We love you, Lord; you are so powerful.  You give Light to our lamps.  You straighten our crooked path.  You are always by our side, and we are so grateful.  I ask all of this in accordance with your will and in Jesus' holy name, Amen. Thank you so much for joining me on this journey to walk boldly with Jesus.  This month inside Walk Boldly With Jesus Mentoring, we're talking about the Father's love. One of the things we discussed this week is how many of us know God loves us intellectually, but still struggle to believe it personally. If you've ever felt unloved, forgotten, rejected, or like you have to earn God's love, I think this series could really speak to your heart. You can find the link to join the show in the show notes. I look forward to spending time with you on Monday.  Remember, Jesus loves you and so do I!  Have a blessed weekend. Today's Word from the Lord was received in December 2025 by a member of my Catholic Charismatic Prayer Group. If you have any questions about the prayer group, these words, or how to join us for a meeting, please email CatholicCharismaticPrayerGroup@gmail.com.

'I remember so much of it... In my previous traumas, I blacked out a lot of the very traumatic stuff... but this one was different.' Today, we're joined by Lizzy Fowler, an ultra-marathon trail runner and award-winning documentary filmmaker. After finding her own passion for running while exploring the neuroscience of the "flow state" in her film work, Lizzy has gone on to complete grueling races like the Moab 240. Now, she's channeling that experience into her next challenge: a Fastest Known Time attempt on the legendary John Muir Trail, along with her mission ahead to empower other women along the way.

Pastor John Brown | Numbers 21 | Denia Community Church - Denton, TX | deniachurch.com

In this burden against proud, pagan Moab, we see the judgment pronounced against them, the compassion felt for them, and the hope set forth and held out to them. That hope is the hope of every sinner: Jesus Christ, whose throne is established in mercy (16:5).

The sermon explores the transition of Israel from the wilderness to the plains of Moab, emphasizing God's sovereign justice in the conquest of Canaanite territories while affirming His command to spare the Moabites and Edomites due to their kinship with Abraham and Jacob. It clarifies that the destruction of the Canaanites was not a blanket genocide but a divinely ordained judgment on a culture whose wickedness had reached full measure, contrasting it with Israel's call to be a light to the nations. Through the narrative of the Arnon River, the songs of war and work, and the conquest of Sihon and Og, the text highlights God's provision, the maturation of Israel's faith, and the principle that spiritual victory comes not through carnal warfare but through obedience and divine empowerment. The sermon concludes by warning that the greatest threats to God's people are not external enemies, but internal compromises—such as idolatry and immorality—illustrated by the Moabite daughters' seduction, which ultimately led to judgment, underscoring the need for continual spiritual vigilance and dependence on God's grace.

JD is joined by Ben Burr from Blue Ribbon Coalition for a straight-up land access scoreboard on the fights shaping the future of motorized recreation. Ben breaks down the rescission of the BLM Public Lands Rule, the Roadless Rule fight, Moab route reassessments, the San Rafael Swell, WEMO closures in the Western Mojave Desert, and why the minimization criteria could become a serious threat to OHV access nationwide. They also talk about local advocacy groups, fieldwork, the Outdoor Americans with Disabilities Act, and why off-roaders need to submit meaningful comments instead of assuming someone else has it covered. If you care about public land access, trail closures, Jeep trails, overlanding, OHV routes, or keeping backcountry roads open for people who cannot simply hike in, this episode is one to share.

Scott from Portal Pros is back, and this time the conversation is all about Toyotas — because Portal Pros has been busy expanding well beyond Jeeps. Jimmy and Tyler catch up with Scott on everything that’s happened since his last appearance: Portal Pros installed their first set of portals on a Lexus GX470 (basically a bougie 4Runner with a DVD player and leather seats), stress-tested it at Holister Hills, broke a ring gear in Moab, got bailed out by the FJ Cruiser Facebook community the same night, and somehow drove the thing home. If you’re wondering how capable a portal-equipped Toyota can be on trails it has no business being on — this episode answers that question pretty thoroughly. From there, Scott digs into the numbers most people actually want to know: what does a portal build cost compared to a traditional suspension build on a Toyota? They run two comparisons — a mild build and an extreme build — and the results are more interesting than you’d expect. On the mild side, portals run about $3,000 more than a traditional lift kit setup, but you’re getting ground clearance, gear reduction, and the ability to transfer them to your next vehicle. On the extreme side — when you’re comparing portals to a full Marlin Crawler long travel kit plus a Dana 60 rear axle swap — portals actually come out around $6,000 cheaper. They also cover what Toyota applications are available now (4th and 5th gen 4Runner, 2nd and 3rd gen Tacoma, GX470, GX460), what’s coming soon (200 series Land Cruiser, Sequoia, 2nd gen Tundra), why Portal Pros is probably not making a Super Duty version anytime soon, and why Scott designed these things to be installed in your driveway and rebuilt on the trail. A good one if you’ve ever thought about portals and talked yourself out of it over the price.

#229 - He was face down in the ocean, paralyzed, and running out of time. Patrick Yalon went out for a routine surf at San Francisco's Ocean Beach and never came back the same person and he's honest about how close he came to not coming back at all.We talk through the full arc: the low-tide wipeout that breaks his neck, the foggy scramble that ends with his friend finding him blue in the water, and the CPR that brings him back. From there it's ICU uncertainty, brutal nerve pain, and a nine-and-a-half-hour spinal fusion from C3 to C5 with titanium hardware. Patrick doesn't skip the dark parts: identity loss, depression, and the exhausting question of whether his body will ever work the way it used to.Then the story pivots from survival to purpose. Patrick chooses a wildly specific goal for spinal cord injury recovery and resilience: Moab 240, one of the toughest ultramarathons in the world. He lines up just months after the accident, grinds out 144 miles in 2024, then travels to Thailand to keep healing through daily Muay Thai training, time in the mountains, and a search for meaning and faith. He also shares why helping others with similar accidents matters so much, and how finishing Moab 240 in 2025 through storms, mud, lightning, and sleep deprivation becomes a shared victory with the friend who saved his life.Patrick is writing a memoir called Still Here and continues raising money and awareness for people impacted by spinal cord injuries.

Whether you're staying local or heading out somewhere exotic (looking at you, Midwest), the roads and skies are expected to be busy for the long Memorial Day weekend. Near Utah's "Mighty 5" parks, folks are expecting to see some major crowds. We hear from UDOT about the biggest trouble spots to watch out for on Utah's roads, and Anna Loughridge with the Utah Office of Tourism joins to talk about congestion in and around Moab and its national parks.

In this teaching we continue our verse-by-verse study through Jeremiah, picking up in chapter 48:8. As God's judgment on Moab unfolds, we'll see that behind the fall of cities and nations was something deeper—pride, misplaced security, and hearts that resisted the Lord. These ancient words still speak powerfully to our world and to us today. Come study God's Word with us and see what He has to say. Study Outline (PDF) Study Outline (Word)

SHAVUOTFrom Ruth to King DavidOne woman merited what no one else did. Ruth the Moabite-a convert from the nation of Moab-became forever bound with the Torah itself, to the point that her story is read each year on Shavuot, the festival of the giving of the Torah. More than anyone else, Ruth teaches the secret of truly receiving Torah and cleaving to it.

The Promised Land You Can't Enter Yet by Autumn Dickson In the chapters this week, Moses is led to the top of a mountain where he is shown the promised land. Deuteronomy 34: 1, 4 1 And Moses went up from the plains of Moab unto the mountain of Nebo, to the top of Pisgah, that is over against Jericho. And the Lord shewed him all the land of Gilead, unto Dan… 4 And the Lord said unto him, This is the land which I sware unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob, saying, I will give it unto thy seed: I have caused thee to see it with thine eyes, but thou shalt not go over thither. Interestingly enough, despite the fact that the Lord led him there to show him the promised land, Moses wasn't allowed to go into the promised land because of prior disobedience. He had led the Israelites out of Egypt and across the wilderness. It had not been easy. At one point, Moses had even asked the Lord to kill him rather than deal with the Israelites anymore. Moses suffered plenty of hardship, and he learned many great and important lessons. But despite this, Moses was still not allowed to step foot in the promised land. The Lord held true to Moses' consequences for disobedience. According to modern revelation, Moses was translated and taken up to the Lord before the Israelites entered the homeland that was meant for them. Details are always key. One of the details this week is the fact that Moses was taken up into a mountain where he could overlook the promised land that he couldn't enter. Mountains in scripture are often compared to temples. Holy things often take place on the tops of mountains, and the Lord gives knowledge and power to some of His children in the tops of mountains. Hold that thought. I wonder how he felt looking over the lands that were meant to be the inheritance of the Israelites. Did it hurt him that he would not be joining them or had he come to terms with the consequences that had been laid out for his disobedience? Did it hurt to see what had been meant to be his inheritance? Did it hurt to see the promises of the Lord that he would not be receiving? Whether it hurt or not, I can assure you that it no longer hurts Moses. He was translated, and he ended up in a different promised land than he had pictured or seen on the top of that mountain. It was a better promised land. Yes, Moses is just fine. I have found a surprising pattern in my life. I have multiple friends who dislike the temple, not because they don't agree with what happens there, but because they can't see the promises of the Lord being fulfilled for them. I have friends who have faced infidelity or family members who don't want to participate in ordinances in the the temple. Going to the temple and hearing the promises that were meant to be theirs doesn't feel particularly good. It is painful to hear about it and desire it deeply and not have current access to it. I fully recognize that I have not been in their shoes, nor do I understand what it's like to feel barred from those promises. Even as I share my testimony of these things, I fully own that I dont understand what it's like to have to come to terms with feelings like that. But sometimes objectivity is precisely what is needed. Strong emotions can be so overwhelming that it's difficult to see the end from the beginning. So let me testify of the end. Moses did not enter into that promised land here. He could see it. He was so close, but it was something that wasn't available to him. I promise you that he's okay. More than that, I promise that he is far more than okay. The Lord has taken care of Moses beautifully. There are two specific promises I want to testify of if you are facing the same problem as Moses or my friends. If you feel that there is no happy ending in sight, these are the promises I want you to hold to. Promise one. There is a promised land available for you even if it feels like mortality is barring you from in it one form or another. Mortality is not strong enough to keep you from your Savior's ability to give you a joyful existence. He is mighty to save. He can take care of you. You are not actually barred from those promises. And in all honesty, you don't even have to wait to step foot in the promised land. Moses' disobedience was what kept him from the promised land, and even his own disobedience didn't ultimately keep him from eternal joy. If you feel innocently barred, then Satan is lying to you. Christ can offer peace and comfort right now. You can go to the temple and listen to the promises and cling to them. Find comfort in them. You don't have to know the how in order for those promises to take affect in your life. Those promises ARE for you even if you don't know exactly how they will look. And if you don't feel strong enough to cling to those promises, He has the power to bring peace even when it's illogical. You can go to the temple and call upon the blessings He promised you there. You can tell Him, “I'm here. I came like You asked. Can you help me feel peace?” And then allow Him to offer peace. Allow Him to comfort you. Unfortunately, sometimes promises of joy feel empty without our loved ones who refuse their own promises. Which brings me to promise two. The Lord can take care of those around us, just as He can take care of you. Elder Orson F. Whitney, an apostle, taught this: The Prophet Joseph Smith declared—and he never taught a more comforting doctrine—that the eternal sealings of faithful parents and the divine promises made to them for valiant service in the Cause of Truth, would save not only themselves, but likewise their posterity. Though some of the sheep may wander, the eye of the Shepherd is upon them, and sooner or later they will feel the tentacles of Divine Providence reaching out after them and drawing them back to the fold. Either in this life or the life to come, they will return. I don't believe the sealing power only applies to children. There is a reason we all get sealed together; I believe this likewise applies to spouses who have chosen to stray. The Lord has a plan for everyone who ever lived upon the earth to be sealed together. That sealing power is so strong. And in the meantime, He will sorrow with you. He knows what it's like to watch loved ones stray. He cannot force them to come back, but He knows how to succor you in your pain. He knows exactly how you feel, probably even stronger because His love is deeper. Take comfort in the fact that He has found eternal joy and hope. You can too. Looking at the promised land doesn't have to feel painful. I testify that if Moses had seen what was coming for him, any sting from being barred from the promised land would have been soothed. It would have had no power because Moses knew what the Lord had in store for him. We can be like Moses. If you could see the end, it would take away much of the sting for you as well. I testify that as we consciously strive to strengthen our testimonies of His promises, we find the balm He promised us now, not just in the next life. I testify that the Savior can deliver on His promises of eternal joy. I testify that the ending is beautiful. I testify that He knows how to reach our loved ones, and we can trust Him with them.

Spring is in full swing and Tahoe trails are opening for business quickly. In Episode 86, as the snow vaporizes, the boys chat about a bunch of trail tales, some funny, others concerning.

On this episode, I'm joined outdoors in Palos Verdes, California by Corbin Pickett (@outdoorswithcorb), also known as “Brotha Nature” — a SoCal trekker, outdoor creator, community builder, board member of Black Men Hike LA, and founder of Kuji Hiking Crew. We talk about his earliest outdoor memories, how the 52 Hike Challenge became a life changing spiritual “walkabout” while he lived in Atlanta, and how Black Men Hike LA helped him find brotherhood and community after returning to SoCal. Corbin shares what it's like navigating outdoor spaces as a Black man, the origin of his trail name, and practical tips on safety, preparedness, and easing into camping. We also highlight his favorite SoCal trails, recap his Moab trip with Black People Who Hike, and chat about his spring adventure to Big Pine Lakes and Tahoe Rim Trail thru-hike supported by an ALDHA scholarship.Follow Corbin on https://www.instagram.com/outdoorswithcorbFollow Black Men Hike on https://www.instagram.com/blackmenhikelaFollow Kuji Hiking Crew on https://www.instagram.com/kujihikingcrewFollow Just Trek on https://instagram.com/just.trekShop Just Trek merch on ⁠⁠https://www.justtrek.net/shop⁠⁠Listen to more podcast episodes on ⁠⁠https://www.justtrek.net⁠⁠Want to send me a message?

There's always a pothole on the way to destiny. Forever First Lady Mrs. Serita Jakes takes us into the story of Naomi. She was a woman whose name means “pleasant,” but her deep sorrow challenged everything she thought she knew. Drawing from passages in Ruth and Hebrews, this powerful Mother's Day message confronts loss, bitterness, and the journey back to confidence. Naomi fled famine, lost her husband and sons in Moab, and renamed herself “bitter,” forgetting who God said she was. But while she was losing, Ruth was gleaning in the fields. What Naomi discarded became someone else's survival. And God restored her joy through something she didn't see coming. We can't change what God already said about us. Even when you lose, look at what you have left. There's so much more in store. Message: “Even When I Lose, I Will Win Again” Scripture: Ruth 1:19-21, 4:15-17; Hebrews 10:35 (NKJV) Speaker: Mrs. Serita Jakes Date: May 10, 2026 Welcome to Your Moment of Transformation You don't have to walk this journey alone. Let Jesus guide your steps and fill your life with purpose and peace.

It seems like so much has been lost in the time of the judges, but the author of Ruth gives us a glimmer of hope. In a season of drought, a family leaves Israel and moves to Moab hoping to find relief, but instead they find sorrow. The wife, Naomi, becomes a widow without family to help her. Her daughter-in-law, a foreigner, commits to love her and care for her, returning with her to the people of Israel. There, she meets Boaz, a family redeemer who honors Ruth, cares for her, and in obedience to the Lord, redeems her into his own family. Ruth is part of a bigger story of redemption, as her lineage will include not only King David, but Jesus the Christ.

In this episode, I'm talking about something a lot of runners believe and that is you only “earn” the right to wear race gear if you finish.After my DNF at the Moab 240 in 2025, I couldn't bring myself to wear the hoodie I bought at the race. It sat in my closet for months because, in my mind, I hadn't “earned” it.But over time, my perspective shifted.This episode is about what that hoodie represents now.More importantly, I talk about:Why DNFs aren't something to be afraid ofHow setbacks can actually sharpen your approachAnd why nothing in this sport comes easy (even when you think you're prepared)If you've ever struggled with a race that didn't go your way, this one's for you.

Are you a woman blessed with the gift of a wonderful mother-in-law? We can hardly think of a more important relationship. Through the ages, this mentoring friendship has sealed families and nurtured them. Likewise, we easily see the pain inflicted when this relationship isn't good.In the Old Testament, we read of a really remarkable mother-in-law. She showed great kindness to a young woman at just the right moment.After returning home to Bethlehem after a famine is over, Naomi wants the best for her young daughter-in-law, Ruth, whose husband has died. Although she must have longed for security herself and companionship, Naomi encourages Ruth to marry Boaz. Eventually, Ruth has a son, Obed, who would become the grandfather of King David!Ruth 1:22 says, “So Naomi returned from Moab accompanied by Ruth the Moabite, her daughter-in-law, arriving in Bethlehem as the barley harvest was beginning.”Naomi's unselfish act, her encouragement to the vulnerable Ruth, is the model for all such relationships. It is intentionally about the other person. It is the story of a woman mentoring and loving another she sees as her daughter.So, how will your mother-in-law's story be recorded? Have you thought about that?How will the women in your family remember you?Let's pray.Lord, people are watching us in how we treat others. Nowhere is that more important than in our own homes. Help us think of others before we think of ourselves. In Jesus' name, amen. Change your shirt, and you can change the world!

Max Jolliffe is the Moab 240 course record holder, elite ultrarunner, and one of endurance sport's more unlikely origin stories. This conversation explores Max's multi-generational family history with addiction, the opioid crisis, his decade-long battle with heroin, the moment in a jail cell that changed everything, and how the tools of sobriety – surrender, teachability, the daily reprieve – became the foundation of an athletic career. Along the way, we get into what it looks like to take an obsessive, addictive mind and aim it at something that gives back. Max is the real deal. Enjoy!
