If you are a Gentile Christian, you are a wild branch grafted into someone else's tree. But what of the original covenant? God has not abandoned His people. Though many have fallen away, he kept a remnant by grace, and Paul himself is the proof. But what does Paul mean when he says, "all Israel will be saved"? This is one of the most debated passages in the letter, and getting it wrong has real consequences. The Rev. John Lukomski, pastor emeritus and co-host of Wrestling with the Basics on KFUO Radio, joins the Rev. Dr. Phil Booe to study Romans 11:1–36. Why does doing the right thing sometimes feel impossible? Why do feelings of guilt follow us even when we've been forgiven? These aren't new questions. St. Paul wrote his letter to the Romans for a church he had never visited, and yet he addressed the struggles every Christian knows firsthand: the weight of the law, the persistence of sin, the sufficiency of what God has done in Christ. Romans covers enormous ground. Paul moves from the universal problem of sin through justification by faith, the role of baptism, the war between flesh and spirit, God's faithfulness to Israel, and the shape of life together in the body of Christ. There's a reason the Reformation was born in this letter. Join us on Thy Strong Word as we open up Romans, weekdays at 11am or on-demand anytime, at KFUO.org. Thy Strong Word, hosted by Rev. Dr. Phil Booe, pastor of St. John Lutheran Church of Luverne, MN, reveals the light of our salvation in Christ through study of God's Word, breaking our darkness with His redeeming light. Each weekday, two pastors fix our eyes on Jesus by considering Holy Scripture, verse by verse, in order to be strengthened in the Word and be equipped to faithfully serve in our daily vocations.

Online classes happening soon: Grow a Potted Yuzu Citrus, Grow Angel's Trumpet (brugmansia) on Your Patio.--- I once flew home with an olive tree in a suitcase. Maybe not what the average traveller would do, but I was visiting a nursery that had a variety I wanted…which says something about my priorities.Even where olive trees aren't winter hardy, they make superb potted plants. Their silvery foliage shimmers in a breeze, they look beautiful on a patio, and they make a cold-climate garden feel just a little more civilized.Olive trees are tough, forgiving, and well suited to pots. The trick is remembering that a pot changes everything, especially in winter. And while getting olives isn't guaranteed, there are practical ways to improve your odds.In this episode, I talk about growing olive trees in pots where they're not normally hardy: why to grow them, where to put them, how to overwinter them, and what helps them fruit.Want more?

In this episode, I talk with Matt Soltys, The Urban Orchardist, about why this old fruit deserves another look.Matt shares what he's seeing as he visits urban fruit trees across southern Ontario: backyard quince trees, older pawpaws, locally adapted genetics, and overlooked trees that could become the foundation of future breeding work.

See the online classes: Landscaping with Fruit, Grow an Olive Tree in a Pot.---Pears deserve more respect in cold-climate gardens. While apples dominate the conversation, there are pear varieties that are just as hardy. The problem is, most growers don't know about them. Varieties like Krazulya, Vekovaya, and Ure aren't widely planted, but they probably should be.In this episode, I chat with Elisabeth Racine from Hardy Fruit Tree Nursery, where they're testing about 200 pear varieties. We talk about what it takes to grow pears successfully in colder zones, including variety selection, pollination, feeding, and training.We also talk about some top cold-hardy pear varieties and the most common mistakes home growers make when planting pears.If you've ever wondered whether pears are worth the space in a northern garden—or which variety to choose if you only have room for one tree—this conversation will help you decide.Topics covered include:Why pears are a worthwhile cold-climate fruit crop How far north pears can realistically be grown The importance of variety selection Top cold-hardy pear varieties for home growers Pollination requirements What most people get wrong when planting pears How long it takes for pear trees to produce And if you're looking for more on cold-hardy fruit, tune in to this episode about growing fruit in cold climates with Veronique from Hardy Fruit Tree Nursery! ---There's a whole world inside figs.

God's Unfailing Plan: The Olive Tree (Romans 11:1-24) Join Pastor Jason Van Bemmel as he explores Romans 11:1-24 to uncover the profound mystery of God's unfailing plan. In examining the unbelief of the Jewish people toward the Messiah, the Apostle Paul asks: "Has God rejected his people?" and answers with a resounding, "By no means!". In this message, we unpack the following key themes: A Remnant Chosen by Grace: Despite widespread rejection, God has preserved a holy remnant of believers who are chosen entirely by His grace, not on the basis of works. God's Unfailing Word: Scripture reveals that while the elect obtained salvation, God decided the rest would be hardened with eyes that would not see and ears that would not hear. One Olive Tree: On a human level, the rejection of Jesus came from corrupt leaders, but God's overarching purpose in hardening their hearts was to open the door of salvation to the Gentiles. This was designed to provoke Israel to jealousy. Grafted In: Paul uses the imagery of an olive tree to show there is only one people of God and one covenant of grace. Gentile believers are wild olive shoots grafted into the nourishing root of the Abrahamic covenant. A Warning Against Arrogance: Paul explicitly warns Gentile believers not to become proud or arrogant toward the broken-off natural branches, reminding them that the root supports the branches, not the other way around. Ultimately, this passage reminds us that God's promises never fail, and His world is never spinning out of control. We cannot judge God; instead, we must marvel at His unsearchable judgments and give thanks for the sheer grace that has brought us to salvation.

Imagine sitting at the most lavish table imaginable—a family inheritance of unimaginable wealth spread before you, promises of a secure future, and the certainty that everything belongs to you. Now imagine someone from outside your family walks in and receives equal access to everything you were promised. This is exactly how the Jewish people felt when the Gentiles were grafted into God's covenant family. Romans 11 unpacks this profound tension, revealing that the Jewish stumble over Christ wasn't the end of God's story—it was the doorway through which salvation flooded to the nations. The passage challenges us with an uncomfortable truth: the Jews had a front-row seat to God's unfolding promises, yet they missed the Messiah standing right before them. This isn't just ancient history—it's a mirror held up to our own lives. How often do we sit comfortably at God's table, enjoying the feast, while missing the very work He's doing right in front of us? The text warns against pride and arrogance, reminding us that we don't support the root—the root supports us. We didn't earn our seat; it was grace that brought us in. The call isn't to look down on those outside but to bring them to the table with us, to make them 'jealous' of the hope we carry, not through superiority but through the radiant difference Christ makes in our lives.Sermon Notes – Romans 11:11–24 -------------------------------- DETAILED NOTES 1. Opening Illustration – The Table - Picture a wealthy family with everything: inheritance, security, future. - You're the rightful heir, always had a seat at the table. - Suddenly an outsider with a different last name is brought in and given equal share. - Emotion: “How is that fair?” → frustration, anger, jealousy. - This mirrors how many Jews felt when Gentiles were welcomed into God's promises. 2. Context of Romans 9–11 - Romans 9–11: Israel's past, present, and future. - Paul's heart for Israel (Rom 9:1–4): - Great sorrow and unceasing anguish. - He would even be cut off if it meant their salvation. - Israel had unique privileges: adoption, glory, covenants, law, worship, promises, patriarchs, and the Messiah came through them. - Yet, they “stumbled” over Christ; they had a front-row seat and missed Him. 3. Purpose of the Stumble (Rom 11:11–12) - “Did they stumble in order that they might fall? By no means.” - Through Israel's trespass: - Salvation has come to the Gentiles. - Result: riches for the world, riches for the Gentiles. - God's aim: to make Israel jealous and eventually lead to their “full inclusion.” - Most of us are Gentiles; we only have a seat at the table because of God's grace through Israel's stumble. 4. Rejection and Reconciliation (Rom 11:13–15) - Paul: apostle to the Gentiles, but still pursuing Jews. - He magnifies his ministry to the Gentiles in order to stir holy jealousy in Jews “and thus save some of them.” - Israel's rejection = reconciliation for the world; their future acceptance = “life from the dead.” - This was always God's plan (e.g., Isa 49:6; Ps 117:1–2): salvation to the nations. 5. The Olive Tree & Warning Against Pride (Rom 11:16–24) - Image of the olive tree: - Root = God's covenantal work in Christ. - Natural branches = Jews. - Wild branches grafted in = Gentiles. - Some natural branches broken off because of unbelief; wild branches grafted in by faith. - Key warnings: - “Do not be arrogant toward the branches.” - “It is not you who support the root, but the root that supports you.” - If God did not spare natural branches in unbelief, He will not spare arrogant, unbelieving Gentiles. - God can also graft natural branches (Jews) back in if they do not continue in unbelief. - None of us deserve a seat at the table; it is entirely grace. Pride is deadly (Prov 16:18; 11:2). 6. Don't Miss What's Right in Front of You - Israel was so focused on future promises, they missed the Messiah standing in front of them. - Many Christians today obsess over end-times details and miss God's present activity and the lost people around them. - We are called not just to “invite” people to church/table, but to bring them, walk with them, sit with them. - True branches are known by their fruit (Matt 7:15–20). -------------------------------- PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS 1. Examine your heart for spiritual entitlement. - Confess any sense of “deserving” God's favor or looking down on unbelievers. 2. Live in a way that makes others “jealous” for Christ. - Let your peace, joy, and hope in suffering provoke questions and curiosity. 3. Actively bring people to the table. - Don't just say “you should come to church”; offer to pick them up, meet them, sit with them. 4. Stay present to God's work now. - Study prophecy, but don't let speculation replace mission. - Ask daily: “Lord, what are you doing right in front of me at home, work, and where I play?” 5. Check your fruit. - Are you bearing love, joy, peace, patience, etc.? - If not, return to the Root—Christ—for nourishment, not self-effort. -------------------------------- DISCUSSION QUESTIONS 1. How does the “family table” illustration help you feel what Jews might have felt toward Gentiles? 2. In what ways have you seen Christians (or yourself) act like spiritual insiders looking down on outsiders? 3. What does it practically look like to let your life create a good, holy “jealousy” in unbelievers? 4. Where are you tempted to be more focused on the future (end times, big plans) than on God's present work around you? 5. How can you move from merely inviting people to church to truly bringing them to the table? 6. What “fruit” do you currently see in your life? What might it reveal about your connection to the Root?
What do you do when your life feels like it's on pause… and heaven feels quiet? In this deeply personal and faith-filled episode, Danielle explores the sacred—but often painful—experience of waiting. Whether you're sitting in a hospital room, grieving a loss, longing for healing, waiting for answers, or holding onto promises that haven't yet been fulfilled… this conversation will meet you right where you are. Drawing on the quiet, often-overlooked space of Holy Saturday—the day between the cross and the resurrection—this episode reframes waiting not as wasted time, but as holy ground. You'll hear powerful stories from scripture, including Joseph in the pit and in prison, alongside Danielle's own experiences with long seasons of uncertainty, including a child's hospitalization, infertility, and watching loved ones wait for doors to open. If you've ever wrestled with impatience, frustration, hopelessness, or even questioning where God is… you are not alone—and this episode will help you navigate those emotions with more grace. In this episode, you'll learn: Why waiting is not a detour—but a meaningful part of your spiritual journey How to process difficult emotions like impatience, anger, and exhaustion without losing your faith The hidden danger of attaching your peace to specific outcomes A more empowering way to approach waiting that invites growth, purpose, and grace How God is actively working in your life—even when you can't yet see it Key reminder: God is not just waiting at the finish line of your story. He is present in the middle—working, shaping, and walking with you through it all. A simple practice to try this week: Instead of asking "When will this be over?" Try asking: "God, what are you inviting me to see or become in this season?" This small shift can transform your waiting space into something sacred. At the end of the episode, Danielle shares an original song, "The Olive Tree," inspired by the life of Christ and the quiet witnesses of His most sacred moments. If you're in a season of waiting, be gentle with yourself. You are not behind. You are not forgotten. And you don't have to walk through it alone.

On today's page, Menachot 53, the Talmud offers something we could all use right now — a story of divine love and mercy set against the backdrop of the Temple's destruction. Abraham appears in the burning Temple and argues with God on behalf of the Jews, pushing back on every reason given for their punishment, refusing to give up even when the case against them seems airtight. In the end, God's answer comes in the form of an olive tree, and it's more comforting than you might expect. What does it mean that even at our worst, the promise hasn't been revoked? Listen and find out.
You may wish you could be related to some famous person, but you cannot simply graft yourself into that person's family tree. And yet, God has grafted Gentile believers into the spiritual family tree of Abraham. If you believe in Jesus Christ, you too are a part of the olive tree made up of Jews and Gentiles throughout history who have trusted in the Lord for salvation.

Romans 11:16-17 — In this sermon on Romans 11:16–17 titled “The Olive Tree,” Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones discusses what or who is the olive tree and the relationship of the Jews to the Gentiles within God's economy of salvation. Learn of the importance to understand what Paul means in Romans 11 and the tendency to lean towards the two extremes—to make too much or too little of this relationship. What is meant by this “olive tree”? Who are the children of the promise? Listen as Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones dives into explaining who are the true spiritual people of God. There is a spiritual nation that surpasses the natural. Understand from where the roots of this olive tree are derived. There is a continuity that binds the Old and New Testaments: “There is only one way of salvation and it has always been the same one.” See that salvation is not a matter of nationality but of being grafted into God's people. What does it mean that the Jews have a “special” yet not “separate” position? Rejoice that both Jews and Gentiles will be joint heirs and partake in the promised blessings of God.

In this second episode of our series on Korean Cults, we trace the tangled roots of Korea's modern messianic movements—shaped by Jeong Deuk-eun (“The Great Holy Mother”) and Kim Baek-moon—gave birth to a new religion that blended Confucianism, Taoism, and Christian language into a syncretic gospel of bloodline purification and “True Bloodline Lineage. We then follow how this ideology influenced later leaders like Jung Myung-seok (JMS) and Park Tae-seon of the Olive Tree Movement, revealing the disturbing legacy of Korean messiahship and political infiltration that continues today through groups like the Moonies, Shincheonji, and WMSCOG. We're joined by Pastor Yang, Adjunct Professor of New Testament at the Presbyterian University and Theological Seminary in Seoul, who holds a Doctor of Theology in New Testament and served as a Visiting Scholar at Trinity Evangelical Divinity School (2023–2024). Also joining us is Chris, a former member of Shincheonji and returning Cultish guest, who shares his firsthand experience and ongoing efforts to raise awareness about the growing global influence of Korean cults. Together, we expose how the False Christs of Korea: The Unification Church and the Olive Tree Legacy which redefined the Gospel, replaced biblical revelation with self-proclaimed messiahs, and continue to shape Korea's—and the world's—spiritual landscape today.Partner With Us & Be Part of the Mission to Change Lives: HERESHOP OUR MERCH: HEREPlease consider subscribing to our YouTube Channel: CultishTV.comCultish is a 100% crowdfunded ministry. -- Email Chris & Pastor Yang: biblev@daum.net Chris@examiningthecults.org Chris's Website: HEREChris's YouTube: HEREPastor Yang's YouTube: HERE

I dive into Romans 11 for part three of a series exploring one of the most significant passages in the New Testament: Romans 9-11. Will all Israel be saved in the end? Who or what does the olive tree represent in Romans 11:17-24? Is God still faithful to His Old Covenant promises? That You May Know Him, Episode 272.
In this week's episode, Ken takes us on a thoughtful journey through one of the longest—and perhaps most overlooked—allegories in the Book of Mormon: the olive tree in Jacob 5. Drawing from a recent discussion in his stake, Ken dives into the symbolism behind pruning branches and what it means for our own efforts to grow and improve.Can we cut away all our bad habits at once? Ken doesn't think so—and neither does the allegory. He explores how lasting change happens gradually, and why we should give ourselves grace as we move, step by step, toward becoming more like Christ. If you've ever wrestled with goals or felt the pressure to be perfect, this episode will offer some sweet reassurance and a fresh perspective on what real progress looks like.Tune in and discover why it's not about getting everything right, right now—it's about the direction you're heading and the patience you offer yourself along the way.Please share this episode with someone who needs to hear it.

Many believers know they've been redeemed, but few understand what they've been redeemed into. In this episode, we uncover that identity through Grafted Branches: The Identity of the Redeemed—a teaching that reveals how those in Messiah are part of the people of Israel and heirs to the covenant promises.This teaching restores the biblical identity of the redeemed and shows why Torah is for all who are grafted in through Messiah. Learn how your role as a grafted branch shapes your calling, inheritance, and future.
"For I speak to you Gentiles, inasmuch as I am the apostle of the Gentiles, I magnify mine office: If by any means I may provoke to emulation them which are my flesh, and might save some of them. For if the casting away of them be the reconciling of the world, what shall the receiving of them be, but life from the dead? For if the firstfruit be holy, the lump is also holy: and if the root be holy, so are the branches. And if some of the branches be broken off, and thou, being a wild olive tree, wert grafted in among them, and with them partakest of the root and fatness of the olive tree; Boast not against the branches. But if thou boast, thou bearest not the root, but the root thee. Thou wilt say then, The branches were broken off, that I might be grafted in. Well; because of unbelief they were broken off, and thou standest by faith. Be not highminded, but fear: For if God spared not the natural branches, take heed lest he also spare not thee. Behold therefore the goodness and severity of God: on them which fell, severity; but toward thee, goodness, if thou continue in his goodness: otherwise thou also shalt be cut off. And they also, if they abide not still in unbelief, shall be grafted in: for God is able to graft them in again. For if thou wert cut out of the olive tree which is wild by nature, and wert grafted contrary to nature into a good olive tree: how much more shall these, which be the natural branches, be grafted into their own olive tree?" Romans 11:13-24

“Mirai in Japanese means 'future'. It refers not to the immediate future, but to a distant dream, a romantic thought, the future yet to come, ever out of reach, unobtainable, and always evolving. It is the foreshadowing of the perpetual stewardship and unknown future that guides this very special relationship with the tree.” This week on Everything You Didn't Know About Herbalism, we are joined by the botanical artist who is on a mission to weave ancient Japanese bonsai traditions with the native species of North America, Ryan Neil. Tune in with us as Ryan and Tommy dive into Ryan's journey through the world of bonsai, how trees offer a reflection into ourselves, and the commendable mission to save the at-risk ancient olive trees of Puglia, Italy. As always, we thank you for joining us on another botanical adventure and are so honored to have you tag along with us on this ride. Remember, we want to hear from you! Your questions, ideas, and who you want to hear from are an invaluable piece to our podcast. Email us at podcast@mountainroseherbs.com to let us know what solutions we should uncover next within the vast world of herbalism. Learn more about Ryan and Bonsai Mirai below! ⬇️ Ryan Neil is an artist and entrepreneur who single-handedly carved a new space in the contemporary art canon—deemed American Bonsai. This style seeks to capture the essence of America's wild spaces, utilizing native species and calling on ancient, asymmetrical forms. Based outside Portland, Oregon—Neil is at the helm of two companies, Bonsai Mirai and Mirai Live, while constantly seeking to expand and perfect his creative endeavors. Neil's work is a culmination of awe, grit and transience—an enigmatic representation of humans, trees, and our interdependent spaces in a steady, primordial flux. Mirai is a bonsai studio, garden and creative ecosystem based outside of Portland, Oregon. Founded in 2010 by artist and bonsai professional, Ryan Neil, to explore the dialogue between humans and the living tree after becoming the first western person to complete a 6-year apprenticeship under bonsai master, Masahiko Kimura, in Japan's Saitama prefecture. As a horticultural incubator and creative facility, Mirai's mission is to explore the boundaries and identity of bonsai in the western world through the context of the tree–where compositions reflect the vast array of native landscapes and cultures that are formed in their midst.
