This episode of the Tikvah Podcast might be the first dedicated entirely to Christian theology. Why would a Jewish podcast devote so much attention to a theological debate that took place among Christians in the 2nd century? First, because it contributed to the canonization of Christian scripture and defined forever the Christian attitude toward the Hebrew Bible. But more importantly, because we are witnessing today the reemergence of some of the very ideas that the Church fathers of that time declared heretical. The figure at the center of this conversation is a Christian thinker name Marcion, who lived from 85 to 160 CE. He taught that there were not one but two gods: the creator God of the Hebrew Bible—a violent, vengeful, tribal demiurge—and the true God that is revealed to humankind by Jesus. To Marcion, the Christian God alone is a God of love and mercy. Therefore, he concluded, Christianity should detach itself entirely from the Hebrew Bible. Most people have heard some version of the idea that the Hebrew God is vindictive, unforgiving, and particularistic, and that the Christian God teaches grace and mercy. But the notion that they're radically distinct has now returned. The prominent Internet talk-show host Tucker Carlson has spoken on numerous occasions about disconnecting the Hebrew Bible from the New Testament. On the August 25, 2025 episode of his show, he explained that he had just read what Christians called the Old Testament and "was pretty shocked by—as I think many people who read it are—by the violence in it, and shocked by the revenge in it, the genocide in it." Then, in conversation with Megyn Kelly on November 6, he said that "Western civilization is derived from the New Testament. It is based on Christian ethics. And the core difference between the West and the rest of the world—not just Israel but every other country—is that we don't believe in collective punishment because we don't believe in blood guilt." It's important to draw a distinction between Marcionism and the doctrine of supersessionism, historically accepted by some Christian theologians. Supersessionism claims that God's covenant with Israel has been replaced, or superseded, by the universal redemption brought about by Jesus. Marcion, by contrast, says something else: that the God who established a covenant with the children of Israel is not the same as the Christian God at all, but a lesser, wicked deity. The idea that the Hebrew Bible and the Christian New Testament are motivated by different ethics and aim at different moral teachings is not especially controversial. After all, that is a conventional Jewish understanding of the New Testament. But the early church fathers decisively rejected Marcion's ideas: both his dualism and his attempt to remove the story of Israel from the Christian Bible. One, Tertullian, wrote five books refuting him. Another foundational Christian thinker, Irenaeus, declared Marcion a heretic. By rejecting his teachings, Christianity made a defining choice to accept that the God of creation and the God of Christian redemption are, for Christians, one and the same. And because one of the most popular anti-Jewish voices is sounding some of those very notes right now, a deeper, Christian context seems necessary to help Jews understand the nature of the new assault against them. To this end, the Christian philosopher R.J. Snell joins Mosaic's editor Jonathan Silver to explain that context. Snell is the director of academic programs at Princeton University's Witherspoon Institute and the editor in chief of its publication, Public Discourse. He delves into what Marcion believed, why the church rejected him, and what was at stake in that rejection—then and now.

Join us as we explore the world of mosaic artistry and the Italian American experience with master craftsman Danilo Bonazza. Known for his extraordinary creations, Danilo traces his journey from Ravenna—the historic capital of mosaics—to his career in the United States. With humor and insight, he reflects on Italian culture and the contrasts between his northern heritage and the traditions of Southern Italian America, offering a fresh perspective on the diversity within the community. We discuss the creative process behind some of Danilo's most notable works, from Vatican restoration to luxury swimming pools adorned with intricate designs. He describes the discipline required under Vatican protocols, the technical challenges of creating mosaics for submerged environments, and his pioneering project in Geneva—all accomplished in a pre-internet era that demanded ingenuity and experimentation.  The conversation also ranges into the imaginative and the aspirational, from the idea of a mosaic on the moon to Danilo's vision of opening a school dedicated to the craft. Throughout, we celebrate the enduring influence of Italian artistry and invite listeners to connect with Danilo on social media to experience his remarkable work firsthand.    HIS SOCIALS  Instagram: @artandmosaics Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/DaniloBonazzaFanPage   HIS WEBSITE: https://artandmosaics.com/ HOSTS: Patrick O' Boyle Marchella Martin Brandon Ficara    PRODUCER: Nicholas Calvello-Macchia

Discoveries made during fertility testing can sometimes reveal more than patients expect. In this episode of Fertility Forward, Dr. Emily Clarke, a third-year fellow in Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility at RMA of New York, shares new research on Mosaic Turner syndrome and what it can mean for patients undergoing IVF. She explains how many people discover this chromosomal condition incidentally, why it can vary so widely in presentation, and how understanding it helps improve counseling and care. We explore the emotional impact of unexpected genetic results, the reassurance that information from these types of studies can bring, and how compassionate counseling empowers patients to move forward. Tune in to learn how clearer data and compassionate communication can empower patients on their path to parenthood. 

This episode begins with the idea that all the troubles in the world at this time bring a great weight and pressure down upon, not just humanity as a whole, but also each individual soul. Since our souls are secretly tuned to the world, the widening divisions outside us tend to activate inner splits within us, specifically in the form of early life feelings of being abandoned, rejected and overwhelmed.     Fears of abandonment and overwhelm return each time we face great obstacles or the need to truly change, not because we are inherently bad or simply ill-fated. Rather, a genuine crisis will activate our early life experiences of rejection and loss in order that we find ways to heal our inner wounds and at the same time reveal our deepest gifts. Part of what seeks to become reclaimed as part of our natural inheritance used to be known as the child of joy, the source of natural buoyancy as well as inner resiliency.     Our innate connection to joy can be a meaningful antidote to the weight of the world and the increasing anxieties that entrap us. However, finding again this kind of soul connection requires that we work through the exact wounds that keep us from feeling fully alive to begin with. The problem turns out to be not simply that there was an original betrayal that leaves us wounded, but also that we keep betraying ourselves in the same way. Eventually, the issue is not simply who did what to us and why, but rather how we manage to stop abandoning ourselves each time we feel fearful, on the edge of overwhelm or stuck in life again.     Genuine change and renewal, on both individual and collective levels, require that we touch the original splits again and heal the wounds that separate us from the inner source of existence and the innate sense of joy that naturally attends the gift of life. For it is this soul connection and inner resilience that seeks to be found, that waits to be felt again and that wishes to be nourished, despite and because of the troubles that now plague the world.     Thank you for listening to and supporting Living Myth.

Exploring the grand tapestry of St. Louis history, the Cathedral Basilica of Saint Louis emerges not just as a sacred space but as a monument to time itself. Our conversation with John C. Guenther dives into the architectural marvel that is the Cathedral Basilica, weaving through its 352-year history—from its early log church days in 1770 to the stunning mosaics that now grace its walls. We reminisce about the old cathedral, which was built in the early 19th century, and how it all ties into the rich narrative of St. Louis's founding. Did you know that the Cathedral Basilica boasts the largest collection of glass mosaics in the Western Hemisphere? That's right! With over 83,000 square feet covered in vivid colors and intricate designs, it's a visual feast that tells the story of faith and community. John shares the creative process behind the mosaics, revealing how artisans captured the light with their craftsmanship, making each piece of glass come alive in a dance of brilliance. This isn't just architecture; it's a living, breathing story that continues to unfold with every visitor who steps inside.We reveal the significance of the Cathedral Basilica being a pilgrimage site and a testament to the faith of the people of St. Louis. John passionately recounts how the Basilica was designed to bring heaven to earth, a sentiment echoed in the stunning architecture and the historical events that have taken place within its walls. This episode isn't just about bricks and mortar; it's about the heart of a city, the stories of its people, and the enduring spirit that has shaped St. Louis.[00:00] Introduction to St. Louis in Tune[00:39] Weather Talk and Show Introduction[01:24] Guest Introduction: John Gunther[04:31] History of the Old Cathedral[06:08] The New Cathedral and Its Significance[21:15] The Mosaics of the Cathedral Basilica[27:06] Creating the Mosaics: An Artistic Journey[30:17] The Mosaic Installation Process[31:44] The Artists Behind the Mosaics[33:53] Architectural Marvels and Comparisons[37:36] Renovations and Maintenance[41:11] Historical Anecdotes and Personal Stories[46:55] Upcoming Events and Final ThoughtsTakeaways:The Cathedral Basilica of St. Louis is a masterpiece that took years to create, and it showcases 83,000 square feet of stunning mosaics that truly leave you in awe.

There are enduring moral and spiritual principles embedded in the Old Testament laws. While Christians are not bound by the Mosaic covenant, these laws were written for our instruction and reveal timeless truths about loving God and neighbor. Through a close examination of Deuteronomy, Leviticus, and related passages, we see how laws concerning safety, justice, compassion for the vulnerable, fair treatment of workers, and ethical lending reflect God's character and call for righteousness, humility, and care for the marginalized. The message underscores that obedience to God's law is not legalistic but rooted in love, with applications ranging from honoring elders and protecting the poor to the profound theological significance of Christ's crucifixion as the fulfillment of the law's curse. Believers are called to engage deeply with Scripture, discern its eternal wisdom, and live in a way that reflects God's justice, mercy, and grace in every area of life.

In Week 6 of our series Present Yourselves: Transformed for a Life of Worship, Pastor Chris Zauner brings a timely and challenging message titled "Worship Through Rest." In a culture where exhaustion is worn like a badge of honor, Pastor Chris invites us to reimagine rest—not as a break from productivity, but as an act of worship and surrender to God.This sermon explores the deep spiritual significance of rest through the lens of Scripture—from God's rest in creation, to the Sabbath commandment in the Mosaic covenant, to the redefinition of rest in the person of Jesus. Pastor Chris unpacks how rest isn't just about stopping work; it's about stopping striving. True rest begins with trust—trust that God is sovereign, that His work is complete, and that we are not defined by what we produce.Drawing from Matthew 11:28–30, Genesis 2, Exodus 20, and Colossians 2, this message helps us see rest not as a legalistic obligation but as a relational gift. Rest is no longer about law—it's about living in the freedom, identity, and rhythm Jesus offers. Pastor Chris challenges us to build intentional rhythms of rest in weekly, monthly, and seasonal ways—not to escape our lives, but to fully engage in the presence of God.If you've ever felt tired in soul, burdened by expectations, or unsure how rest fits into your life as a follower of Jesus, this sermon offers clarity, encouragement, and practical vision for what it means to worship through rest. Learn how to let go of striving, embrace your limits, and realign your life with the One who never grows weary.Series: Present Yourselves – Transformed for a Life of WorshipMessage Title: Worship Through RestSpeaker: Pastor Chris ZaunerScriptures: Matthew 11:28–30, Genesis 2:2–3, Exodus 20:8–11, Deuteronomy 5:15, Colossians 2:16–17, Hebrews 4:9–10, Mark 2:23–28

Words In Scripture Explored – Covenant Gday and welcome to Words In Scripture Explored! The word for today is Covenant. Look at your money! On British money are the words "I promise to pay the bearer on demand the sum of five [ten/twenty/fifty] pounds. In fact you can even take old British banknotes to the Bank and cash them in for modern money! Promises!! That’s what a covenant is – a promise between two parties. Covenants in the Bible Covenants were common in all kinds of life, and not just between God and humanity. For instance where a powerful nation had taken over a weaker nation, a covenant was in place to give benefits from the powerful nation to the weaker nation, such as protection as well as sanctions if the weaker nation rebelled. About God’s Covenants Each covenant between God and humanity showed God promising to do something and commands for mankind to follow! When an Old Testament covenant ended in failure, it was always due to mankind’s inability to obey God! Such as when Adam & Eve ate the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thereby breaking the covenant made with God. The Edenic Covenant was therefore terminated and now God needed to make another covenant with Adam (Genesis 3v14-21). In the Old Testament we have six covenants between God and humanity: Edenic, Adamic, Noahic, Abrahamic, Mosaic, and the Davidic. They all had several things about them: God always took the initiative. God always gave His solemn promise to fulfil His promise. God always waited for a free response from humanity, without coercion or force. New Covenant As a Christian Disciple today, you are living under the the New Covenant (Jeremiah 31v31-34) Four features of this covenant are: God transforming you; God being your God and you being His; God living inside you and leading you; your sins are forgiven and removed This new covenant is sealed only through the perfect sacrifice of Jesus Christ on the cross. His blood ensures the truth of this New Covenant. There is no other way for this New Covenant to be sealed except through Jesus’ blood alone. This New Covenant finalizes what the Mosaic Covenant could only point to: the follower of God living in a righteous life conforming to God's holy character. Whenever you celebrate Communion or the Lord’s Supper, you celebrate this New Covenant between God and yourself, for it symbolizes this New Covenant, which guarantees salvation! So go tell somebody else today about how God will make them new, forgive them, live inside them, and transform them, if only they come to Him in repentance.

This week, Ron Dermer resigned from the Israeli cabinet, stepping down as minister of strategic affairs after years of working closely with Prime Minister Netanyahu to guide Israel through this last harrowing chapter of the country's history. It's a moment of transition—and it brings to mind another such moment, five years ago, when Dermer prepared to leave his post as Israel's ambassador to the United States. In December 2020, Mosaic's editor Jonathan Silver sat with the departing ambassador and asked him to reflect on his eight years in Washington—years that saw the nuclear deal with Iran, the rise and fall of Islamic State, and the signing of the Abraham Accords. Much has changed since then. October 7 shattered assumptions about Israel's security. The war in Gaza has tested the U.S.-Israel relationship in ways that seemed unimaginable in 2020. And yet, much has also endured. The alliance itself remains. The strategic logic Dermer articulates in this conversation—about shared interests, shared values, shared aspirations, shared threats—hasn't disappeared either. Indeed, that strategic logic has become easier to see, not harder. As Ron Dermer steps back once again, we thought it worth revisiting this earlier moment—to reinhabit the U.S.-Israel relationship before October 7, and to hear one of Israel's great public servants explain why he believed then, and still believes, that it can weather the storms that lie ahead.

Send us a textWhat if the phrase you've been taught to cherish—“Judeo-Christian”—actually blurs the gospel more than it clarifies it? We take on one of the most charged topics in the church today: how to think biblically about Israel, the Church, and the unfolding promise of God without caving to political slogans or tribal pressure. With open Bibles and steady pacing, we examine covenant theology vs dispensationalism, trace the seed of Abraham to Christ, and ask who “God's chosen people” really are according to Romans 9, Matthew 5, and the story of Scripture.We walk through the Old Testament's continuity with the New, highlighting Christophanies and the progressive revelation of the covenants—Edenic, Abrahamic, Mosaic, Davidic, and New—unified in Jesus. Along the way, we reckon with modern Zionism's surge, the origins of the word Jew, and why many churches drift into syncretism when Israeli symbols are platformed as if they share equal footing with the cross. We also tackle the role of rabbinic tradition—Talmud, Mishnah, Midrash—and why contemporary Judaism is not simply “Old Testament minus Jesus,” but a different authority structure that often contradicts the Bible and rejects Christ.None of this is a political screed. It's a call to clarity, courage, and love. We argue for a Christ-centered approach that honors Scripture's storyline, resists proof-texting, and refuses to baptize any modern nation as covenantally chosen. Most importantly, we urge Christians to evangelize both Jew and Gentile with humility and urgency, embracing the watchman's responsibility: warn faithfully, love deeply, and trust God with the outcome.If you're ready to replace slogans with Scripture and sentiment with substance, this conversation will sharpen your mind and steady your heart.

As the world around us becomes increasingly divided into opposing forces, the tensions and conflicts within us also intensify. In psychological terms, the division most in need of being healed is the split between the ego or "little self" and the deeper, knowing self within us.     In fairy tales a golden ball often appears as a symbol of the inner unity and wholeness we felt, at least for a moment, as children. The old rule is that everyone has at least one experience of the presence of the deep self, typically felt as something golden within us.     This deeper self within knows why we are here on earth and what we are intended to do. Yet, the ego, with its fixed attitudes and pretensions of being at the center of life, stands in the way. At each turning point in life this golden self within tries to become more conscious as a source of grounding and centering, but also as a resource of genuine visions, big dreams and vital energies.     In a world filled with conflicts and great uncertainty, the guidance and centering power of the deeper self can save us from feeling anxious and overwhelmed. In order for both individual and collective awakening and meaningful change to occur, a deeper sense of self and soul must become more conscious and available to us.     Thank you for listening to and supporting Living Myth.

The study presents a comprehensive theological exploration of Paul's epistles to the Galatians and Romans, centering on the doctrine of justification by faith alone and the freedom found in Christ. It emphasizes that Christian liberty is not license but a liberation from the bondage of legalism, particularly the Judaizers' insistence on circumcision and adherence to the Mosaic law, which Paul rejects as contrary to the gospel. The sermon highlights the contrast between the works of the flesh and the fruit of the Spirit, underscoring that true Christian identity is marked by love, humility, and spiritual transformation rather than external rules. In Romans, it unfolds the universal sinfulness of humanity—both Gentiles and Jews—before establishing that salvation is available to all through faith in Christ alone, apart from the deeds of the law, grounded in God's grace and the atoning work of Jesus. The message culminates in a call to live in the Spirit, bear one another's burdens, and prioritize love within the household of faith, while remaining vigilant against false teachings that distort the gospel.

The sermon centers on the profound unity of Jews and Gentiles in the Church, made possible not by human effort or merger, but by the miraculous work of Christ on the cross. Drawing from Ephesians 2:11–22, it emphasizes that both groups were once separated by law, culture, and identity—Gentiles as outsiders, Jews as privileged under the Mosaic covenant—but Christ has abolished the dividing wall by fulfilling the law and creating one new humanity in Himself. This unity is not based on external markers like circumcision, tradition, or denominational affiliation, but on the shared reality of being reconciled to God through faith in Christ, who is our peace and the cornerstone of the spiritual temple. The passage calls believers to remember their former state—estranged from God and each other—so they may fully embrace their present identity as fellow citizens of God's household and members of a living, growing body built by the Holy Spirit. The sermon challenges modern individualism and cultural trends that prioritize personal preference over communal faith, urging the church to take seriously its role as a unified, holy dwelling place of God, where every believer, regardless of background, belongs and contributes to the collective spiritual edifice.

The priesthoods, covenants, and promises all point to the restoration of the original Melchizedek order through Messiah.1️⃣ Yeshua Was the Bridegroom at SinaiAt Mount Sinai, Israel entered a marriage covenant with YHVH, the very Word who would later become flesh (John 1:1-14).• Exodus 19:3-5 “If you obey Me fully and keep My covenant…”• Exodus 6:7 “I will take you as My own people.”• Isaiah 54:5 “For your Maker is your Husband.”• Jeremiah 2:2 “The devotion of your youth, as a bride you loved Me.”• John 1:1, 14 “The Word was God… The Word became flesh.”• John 8:58 “Before Abraham was, I AM.”• 1 Corinthians 10:4 “The Rock was Messiah.”• Romans 7:2-4 Through His death the Husband died, releasing Israel to enter a New Covenant.It was the pre-incarnate Word who covenanted with Israel. At Calvary, the same Bridegroom fulfilled the Torah's marriage law - dying and rising to unite Jew and Gentile into one redeemed Bride.2️⃣ The Covenant at Sinai Was Melchizedek in Order - Before the Golden CalfIntended Order:“You shall be to Me a kingdom of priests and a holy nation.” Exodus 19:6Before sin entered, Israel was called to the Melchizedek pattern, royal-priestly access to God without Levitical mediation (see Genesis 14:18-20).The Shift after the Calf:When Israel worshiped the golden calf (Exodus 32), the priesthood changed from firstborn to Levi (Exodus 32:26; Deuteronomy 10:8).This Levitical order became a temporary administration to manage sin until Messiah restored direct access.Galatians 3:24 “The law was put in charge to lead us to Christ.”Hebrews 7:11 “If perfection could have been attained through the Levitical priesthood… why was there still need for another priest?”3️⃣ Misunderstood ‘Forever' Verses about the Levitical PriesthoodHebrew עוֹלָם (olam) often means “for an age” or “until the appointed time.”These verses describe continuity within the Mosaic covenant, not eternity.Passage Common Assumption Correct Context Fulfillment in MessiahExodus 29:9 Eternal Levitical rule For the age of Moses Ended at the Cross (Heb 9:10)Exodus 40:15 Everlasting generations Limited to Aaron's line Heb 7:12 – law and priesthood changedNumbers 25:13 Phinehas eternal priesthood Within Levitical system Heb 8:13 – old made obsoleteLeviticus 16:34 Perpetual atonement day Until fulfillment Heb 9:12; 10:10 – once for all1 Chron 23:13 Aaron forever Worship of that era Superseded by heavenly tabernacleMalachi 2:4-8 Unbroken Levi covenant Conditional — priests failed Yeshua restores true priesthoodPsalm 110:4 — Anchor text of transition Messiah = Eternal Melchizedek4️⃣ Yeshua Restores the Original PriesthoodThrough His death and resurrection, Yeshua reinstated the Melchizedek order permanently:Psalm 110:4 “You are a priest forever after the order of Melchizedek.”Hebrews 7:23-24 “He lives forever and has a permanent priesthood.”This fulfills Exodus 19:6 and extends the priestly calling to

The Old Testament laws are not binding legal codes, but divinely inspired wisdom that reveals God's unchanging character and moral nature, applicable to the church under the new covenant. We must avoid rigid dichotomies—such as applying only what is explicitly reaffirmed in the New Testament or assuming all laws remain binding—instead we must take a principle-based approach that extracts enduring ethical insights from the Mosaic law, even when the specific regulations no longer apply. Through detailed examination of the Ten Commandments, the sermon emphasizes that each commandment reflects deeper spiritual truths about worship, justice, human dignity, and the heart's condition, with particular focus on the sanctity of life, sexual purity, honesty, and the inward reality of covetousness. While the penalties of the old covenant are no longer enforced, the moral seriousness of sin is revealed through them, pointing to the necessity of Christ's atoning sacrifice. Ultimately, the law is not a burden but a guide to holiness, designed to cultivate wisdom, righteousness, and a heart that delights in God's will.

Every schoolboy has been told that, to understand human nature, we must look to our closest genetic relatives—the chimpanzees. Jane Goodall's pioneering research revealed that chimps use tools, hunt cooperatively, and engage in violent activity that looks like warfare. And from these observations, she and generations of scientists who followed in her wake have concluded that humans are essentially advanced primates, and that our behaviors—from violence to sexuality—flow from this genetic inheritance.   But what if this foundational assumption is wrong?   The Primate Myth: Why the Latest Science Leads Us to a New Theory of Human Nature is a new book by the playwright and critic Jonathan Leaf. Based on vast quantities of scientific literature, Leaf argues that recent genetic and neuroscientific discoveries are overturning decades of conventional wisdom. A landmark study published in April 2025 revealed that humans share only 86.5 percent of our genes with chimpanzees—not the 98.6 percent we've long believed. More importantly, the differences are concentrated precisely where they matter most: in the structures of our brains that govern cooperation, empathy, and language.   Leaf's thesis is both scientific and moral. If humans are not primarily aggressive primates but rather cooperative pack animals—closer in crucial ways to dolphins and wolves than to chimps—then it's high time to reconsider the natural impulses that lie at the roots of war, family, and human flourishing.   Leaf joins Mosaic's editor Jonathan Silver to discuss his book and its implications.

In this episode: With the start of the Florida Legislature's 2026 session approaching, lawmakers just revived two big bills they failed to pass during their last session. One would give fetuses some of the same legal rights as living children — and further cement into law a legal theory known as “fetal personhood” that conservative legal groups want to use to cut off all access to abortion. Another would help fertilizer giant Mosaic Co. fend off lawsuits related to radioactive contamination left behind in the company's former phosphate mines.

This episode of Living Myth is about blindness, both individual and collective, and about the need for genuine visions and visionaries. Western culture, enthralled with the heroic and trapped in the limits of egotism, continues to turn a blind eye to the deeper sense of self and soul that alone can give a renewed sense of vision that can see beyond modern ideas that have come to threaten the future of the Earth.   As long as we see through the lens of the heroic ego, we are likely to remain stuck in the territory of the same old willfulness and predictable blindness that cannot see ways to arrive at a deeper ground of understanding or a greater way to envision the living world. As the philosopher and humanist Erasmus said: "In the land of the blind, the one-eyed man is king." As the naturalist and poet Thoreau once stated: "I would give all the wealth of the world and all the deeds of all the heroes for one genuine vision."   Genuine change requires that we open our inner eyes and see from a deeper place. For, the new shape of the world only comes into view and becomes conscious to us when a vision arises from the darkness around us and from the unseen depths of our own unconscious. It is this kind of transformative vision that breaks through the blindness that both binds and polarizes us.   Something ancient and knowing is trying to catch up to us. And if our souls can stand deeply enough in the river of time, we can receive lost truths and wisdom from the deep well of memory as well as visions of the mostly unseen future. This combination of imaginative vision and deep memory has been the ongoing source of vitality and renewal that visionaries, seers and wounded healers throughout time have drawn upon to give us our true bearings even when the world itself seems to have lost its way.     Thank you for listening to and supporting Living Myth.

We open the Book of Hebrews and find a letter written to Hebrew believers under pressure—public shame, seized property, and the easy out of slipping back into what once felt safe (Judaism). The writer won't let them settle. With language that sings and arguments that cut clean, Hebrews makes one claim again and again: Jesus the Messiah is better.The book's first ten chapters build the case that Christ is greater than angels, Moses, priests, sacrifices, and even the Mosaic covenant they served. He is the radiance of God's glory and the exact imprint of His nature, our sympathetic High Priest in the order of Melchizedek, and the once-for-all sacrifice who opens the true sanctuary. The final chapters turn doctrine toward daily life—faith that endures, discipline that trains, love that acts, and worship that overflows. Along the way, five warning passages act like guardrails, not to shake assurance, but to stop drift, dullness, and the temptation to trade long-term joy for short-term relief.If you're leading a group or studying solo, we've built free resources to help you teach and apply Hebrews with confidence. Come learn why the old system, good as it was, cannot match the living Christ who intercedes for us now.

In this episode of the AeroExploration Podcast, I dive deep into the Modernization of Special Airworthiness Certification (MOSAIC) rule — a landmark change from the Federal Aviation Administration that expands what pilots can fly, how aircraft are certified, and how our aviation world is evolving.We'll start with the history — how we got here from the original Sport Pilot and Light‑Sport Aircraft rules of 2004. Then, I'll walk you through the purpose behind MOSAIC: more choice, more capability, more accessibility — without compromising safety.Next, I take you into the major changes that matter to pilots: night flying, retractable gear, constant‑speed props, and four‑seat LSAs. We'll explore the critical difference between pilot privileges (what you as a pilot can do) and aircraft certification (what the plane is allowed to be), and why a seemingly small stall‑speed difference makes a big difference under the rule.Finally, we'll clear up the confusion: Why might a private pilot intentionally fly under sport‑pilot privileges? What endorsements do you need? What aircraft will now qualify? What does it mean for CFIs and flight schools?If you're a pilot, future CFI, aircraft owner or just curious about how regulations shape the cockpit, this episode gives you the keys to MOSAIC.Links for show notes:FAA: “New rule: FAA ready for air travel of the future” — FAA newsroomAOPA: “Light sport rules expand dramatically” — AOPA articleEAA: “Sport Pilot / Light Sport Aircraft 2.0 (MOSAIC)” — EAA pageGeneral Aviation News: “Long‑awaited MOSAIC final rule released” — GANews pieceAeroExploration: Check out the YouTube Channel. ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/@AeroExploration⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Join our Community:If you enjoy Fly the Transition and want to continue the conversation, consider joining our Discord community.

Tuesday, 4 November 2025   At that time Herod the tetrarch heard the report about Jesus Matthew 14:1   “In that time, Herod the tetrarch, he heard the ‘Jesus hearing'” (CG).   In the previous verse, Chapter 13 ended with words concerning Jesus' not doing many miracles in Nazareth due to their faithlessness. Chapter 14 now begins with, “In that time, Herod the tetrarch.”   A new word is seen, tetrarchés. It signifies the ruler of the one-fourth part of a country or region. In other words, he is not a ruler of a country with three other rulers. Instead, his rule covers one-fourth of the area of a county.   Thayer's Lexicon notes that “the word lost its strict etymological force, and came to denote ‘the governor of a third part or half of a country, or even the ruler of an entire country or district provided it were of comparatively narrow limits; a petty prince.'”   Of this particular Herod, Charles Ellicott provides the following description –   “The son of Herod the Great by Malthace. Under his father's will he succeeded to the government of Galilee and Peræa, with the title of Tetrarch, and as ruler of a fourth part of the Roman province of Syria. His first wife was a daughter of Aretas, an Arabian king or chief, named in 2Corinthians 11:32 as king of the Damascenes. Herodias, the wife of his half-brother Philip (not the Tetrarch of Trachonitis, Luke 3:1, but son of Herod the Great by Mariamne, and though wealthy, holding no official position as a ruler), was daughter of Aristobulus, the son whom Herod put to death, and was therefore niece to both her husbands. Prompted partly by passion, partly by ambition, she left Philip, and became the wife of Antipas (Jos. Ant. xviii. 5, §4). The marriage, at once adulterous and by the Mosaic law doubly incestuous, shocked the conscience of all the stricter Jews. It involved Antipas in a war with the father of the wife whom he had divorced and dismissed, and it was probably in connection with this war that we read of soldiers on actual duty as coming under the teaching of the Baptist in Luke 3:14. The prophetic spirit of the Baptist, the very spirit of Elijah in his dealings with Ahab and Jezebel, made him the spokesman of the general feeling, and so brought him within the range of the vindictive bitterness of the guilty queen.”   Concerning this Herod, Matthew records, “he heard the ‘Jesus hearing.'” In other words, the news (it is a noun signifying “a hearing”) of Jesus was circulating everywhere. He heard of this exciting news, and it set the stage for what lies ahead. Today, such a hearing might be precipitated by a statement like, “Have you heard the news about the guy from Nazareth, Jesus? He is incredible!”   Such a statement is the hearing. Herod heard it and will react to it.   Life application: Some of the translations of this verse say, the fame of Jesus, the news of Jesus, the report of Jesus, the reports of Jesus, heard about Jesus, the hearing of Jesus, concerning Jesus, etc. Various smaller changes from some of these exist.   Don't think that because a translation doesn't exactly match the original that there is an error. The intent is essentially the same. Some versions give a thought-for-thought rendering. Some attempt to give a closer rendering of each word, but amend it to sound more common to the hearing of the audience.   A literal, or close to literal, translation can be extremely unpleasant to listen to and tiring to the mind to read. Trying to make sense of the structure of the original language while also trying to understand the intent in a reasonable way is much more difficult with a direct rendering of each word.   Also, there is the consideration that different people will come up with different words to describe the same original word. Therefore, at times, there are going to be a seemingly infinite number of differences in translations, but they all will carry the same message to some extent.   We should never tolerate purposeful manipulation of the text, something that scholars will search for and highlight. Such manipulations have occurred in the New World Translation of the Jehovah's Witnesses as well as some Hebrew Roots Movement translations.   In order to meet their perverse agenda, such manipulations are underhandedly introduced. If you are looking for a new translation to read, be sure to check up on whatever you are leaning towards buying, just in case someone has identified such things.   But be sure to check the source you are reading as well. Some commentaries on Bible translations are biased towards one translation, the KJV, for example. Therefore, they will find all other versions damnable. That is not a healthy way of looking at such things either.   In the end, just keep reading the word. Keep thinking about what God has done in the giving of Jesus. Let the word of God dwell in you richly. It will bring delight to your heart, joy to your day, and contentment to your soul as you consider the eternal blessings that lie ahead for the redeemed of the Lord.   Lord God, thank You for allowing us to enter into the study of another chapter of the book of Matthew. We anticipate a great adventure as we analyze it day by day. Give us the clarity of mind that is needed to properly understand what is being conveyed. Amen.

Last week, Michael Smuss died at age ninety-nine. Born in 1926, he was the last surviving fighter of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising. His passing marks the end of an era, and brings to a close a chapter of living memory. Now the responsibility to tell this story passes fully to us. In the spring of 1943, against impossible odds and with almost no weapons, a small group of young Jews in Nazi-occupied Warsaw staged a revolt that would reverberate through history. This was not just a military engagement, but a story of Jewish resistance, dignity, and moral choice under unimaginable circumstances. Before the war, Warsaw was home to nearly 400,000 Jews—the largest Jewish community in Europe. This was a vibrant, diverse Jewish population: workers and intellectuals, religious and secular, Yiddish-speakers and Polish-speakers. Jews published daily newspapers, ran theaters, fielded soccer teams. They were 40 percent of Warsaw's population. Then came September 1939. Within weeks, Warsaw fell to the Germans. Over the next year, the Nazis systematically stripped Jews of their rights—blocked bank accounts, forced them to wear special armbands, and conscripted them into slave labor. In November 1940, they sealed 400,000 Jews into a ghetto of just two square miles, then forced in 150,000 more from nearby towns and cities. With official rations of just 184 calories per day and no heating, 100,000 Jews died of starvation and disease. But 80 percent stayed alive through extraordinary resourcefulness—smuggling food, establishing soup kitchens, creating underground factories. This too was resistance. In July 1942, the Germans began mass deportations to Treblinka, where most were murdered upon arrival. Over seven weeks, they sent 300,000 Jews to the gas chambers, with the help of a Jewish police force. By September, only 60,000 remained. At that point, something shifted. Survivors asked why they hadn't fought back. The shame and anger became a catalyst. Between September and April, the ghetto prepared. They built 750 bunkers with electricity, water, and food stocks. When the Germans came on April 19, 1943, expecting to round up the Jews with no resistance, they were met with gunfire, grenades, and mines. The Germans thought it would take three days. It took 27—because the entire community had transformed the ghetto into a network of underground revolt. To tell this story, Mosaic's editor Jonathan Silver is joined by Professor Samuel Kassow of Trinity College. They discuss the courage of the fighters as well as the resistance of those who built the bunkers, who preserved cultural life, who maintained their dignity in ways that have largely been forgotten. They also confront difficult questions about heroism, survival, and how to fulfill the sacred obligations of remembering.

This episode begins by examining the rise of "vertical morality" that appears in both Christian communities and conservative politics and has given rise to a "war on empathy." Whereas Jesus famously preached love, mercy and care for the oppressed, vertical morality measures righteousness, not by goodness to others, but rather by something more simplistic and more divisive. Vertical morality declares that human behaviors are right or wrong based upon what the higher power says. As proponents put it: "Our ethics and behaviors have a duty to please God alone. We must obey by furthering the will of God, no matter the cost to other people." In a religious context, the higher power is God, in politics, it can become an authoritarian leader. As this viewpoint desensitizes people, true believers can justify demonizing all immigrants as criminals, defaming gay and trans people as predators, and condemning political opponents as, not just wrong, but evil. In direct contrast to vertical morality, Michael Meade proposes vertical imagination as a mostly lost quality of the human soul that would reconnect us to the heights of inspiration, but also keep us connected to the depths of genuine feeling. For the issue is not simply making a steady ascent on the ladder of morality. Rather, the point is for the soul to fully awaken to the process of ascent and descent that keeps Heaven and Earth connected, while it also connects us to the suffering souls of other people and to the all-embracing Soul of the World. When oriented from the deep sense of self and soul within us, our choices can become truly meaningful and our experiences genuinely unifying, rather than be divisive and traumatizing. In extraordinary times the soul expects to find extraordinary and enlivening experiences, not some final salvation based upon the ladders of morality, but rather many little redemptions found in moments when Heaven and Earth, the eternal and the time bound meet in the wisdom of our waking souls and merciful hearts.

The episode of Living Myth begins with a study on how our brains and our bodies respond to traumatic events. Apparently, our brains do not fully distinguish between something traumatic happening to us directly or something we observe that is harmful to someone else. To our brains a threat is a threat, whether we are actually experiencing it personally or are witnessing it on a personal device. Because humans are essentially social and typically empathic creatures, the same instincts that help connect us to each other can cause us to feel stress and pain by watching almost any kind of traumatic event.     A key issue is that in consuming mass media coverage of the flood of traumatic events that now plague the world, we cannot simply resolve the sense of threat and fear of harm that penetrates us and causes our brains to trigger our fight or flight responses. Our body remains convinced that we are in some kind of danger, yet we can neither completely escape by flight nor effectively engage with fight. As the world becomes more and more chaotic and this process repeats, we become intensely activated, but with nowhere for all the energy to go. We can feel increasingly on the verge of overwhelm as well as physically and emotionally worn down.     Psychologists who were consulted offered helpful suggestions such as setting boundaries on news consumption, calling friends or family members who can have a settling effect on us or spending more time in nature. However, the report also included the statement that under the pressure of repetitive traumatic stress a person's worldview might radically change. This greater fear involved the sense that in the midst of all the chaos people would conclude that life has no real meaning or purpose. However, the idea of an altered worldview can also be seen as our psyche's instinctive way of seeking genuine healing and finding meaningful ways to change the course of both our personal and collective lives.     Ancient wisdom along with ideas of depth psychology suggest that in order to truly change we must start right where we are and accept the mess we are in if we would find deeper understandings and wiser ways of being. For it is precisely in the dark nights of the soul that we can experience revelations of both our deeper sense of self and the regenerative energies that are essential aspects of both nature and the cosmos.     Chaos as disorder and cosmos as regenerative order are the two huge energies that continuously make, unmake and remake the world. As things fall apart, the knowing self within us moves closer to the surface and seeks to become more conscious to us. Seen through the lens of the deeper sense of self and soul, the traumatic events that we experience and/or witness are not simply intended to defeat us or overwhelm us or make us numb, but rather, they are secretly intended to awaken us to a greater understanding of our own inner capacity to change and be part of the life-enhancing, life-creating dynamic through which chaos turns into cosmos, through which we can individually be redeemed from our own darkness and also find ways to contribute to a re-imagination and re-creation of a more coherent, inspired and interconnected sense of human culture.     Thank you for listening to and supporting Living Myth.
