In small churches, we're often the first people others turn to when life falls apart - whether we're on staff, leading worship, teaching kids, or serving on the elder board. In Part Two of the Do No Harm series, Laurie and licensed therapist Kati Quigley talk about what churches can do to help create more emotionally healthy spaces. This isn't about becoming counselors, giving advice, or providing solutions. It's about practicing empathy, allowing people to lean into their own painful places, listening well, and partnering with counselors and professionals we trust.In this episode:How small churches can normalize therapy and mental health supportWhy awareness of reactions matters (our own and others) in ministry meetingsHow to listen better and create safer, judgment-free spacesThe value of clear boundaries and trusted referral listsConnect with Kati Quigley:katiquigleycounseling.orgJoin our free Facebook Community: www.facebook.com/groups/smallchurchministryRate, Review, & Follow Laurie on Apple Podcasts"I love Laurie and The Small Church Ministry Podcast!!"
In this episode of Let's Be Clear, Pastor Jamal Bryant delivers a bold wake-up call about power, priorities, and misplaced faith in leadership. From a $250 million White House ballroom built during economic struggle to 7 million protestors marching for justice, he exposes how America's values have drifted far from “one nation under God.”Pastor Jamal Bryant challenges the myth of who's really on welfare, reveals the truth behind food insecurity in America, and calls for a national economic shift — starting with a Target boycott and a movement to support 100 Black businesses.This isn't politics. It's a prophecy. And it's a message every conscience needs to hear.#JamalBryant #LetsBeClear #ImNotBuyingIt #BuyBlack #FaithAndJustice #EconomicFreedom #NoKingsMarch #SocialJustice #BlackEmpowerment #WhiteHouseBallroom #montgomerybusboycott ------------The Jamal Bryant Podcast "Let's Be Clear" is a conversation that rips off the bandaid to serious relevant issues in the community and around the country.

Israel was a covenant nation under God. As a people, they were to be Holy, set apart, and these are the rules He has established, including the consequences for breaking those rules.02:32 - clarification on a point made in last week's study (Leviticus 19.12-37) dealing with immigration in the United States and not “mistreating the foreigner residing among us” - Lev 19.33-34.03:22 - what is the two-fold sense of scripture?06:50 - Do we have to follow all of the laws that are outlined in Leviticus?06:50 - What are the different kinds of laws in Leviticus and which should we follow today? Moral Laws - These laws are timeless and should be followed today. These laws reflect God's character. Each of the laws that qualify as a “moral law” is reaffirmed and restated in the New Testament. A few examples of these types of laws include: Idolatry - 1 Cor 6.9-10; 10.14; Adultery - Matt 5.27-28; and Sexual immorality - 1 Cor 6.18, 1 Thes 4.3, Eph 5.3 and Gal 5.Ceremonial Laws - These laws symbolize separation from paganism and are not binding for today but are useful for understanding holiness (being set apart). Examples of these laws include eating clean and unclean animals and how an Israelite was to cut their hair (Lev 19.28). We are not called to follow these laws today. Here are a few New Testament perspectives on these laws: Mat 15.10-11 and Rom 14.14-18.Civil/Judicial Laws - These are laws related to the governance of the Theocracy of Israel in its day. These laws include punishments such as stoning and burning, as well as being isolated from the community. An example of this is the punishment for adultery (as stated in Lev 20.10) of stoning. John 8.1-11 shows Jesus' perspective on this punishment. See also 1 Peter 2.11-17 and Galatians 520:42 - Leviticus 20.1-5 - Child Sacrifices to Molek. Included in this discussion are Bible verses: Lev 18.21 as well as Deu 12.31, 18.10; Jer 7.31, 32.35 and 2 Kings 16.3, 21.6. Watch the full video on Leviticus 18: https://youtu.be/UZ_fjQI65o823:14 - Leviticus 20.6 & 27 - Spiritists and mediums. Included in this discussion are Bible verses: Lev 19.26 & .31, as well as Eph 6.12.24:30 - Leviticus 20.7-8 & 22-24 - Consecrate yourselves and be holy. God calls the Israelites to be set apart, as he does for us today as well. Bible verses discussed: Exo 3.8 and Gen 15.16.28:28 - Leviticus 20.9 - Cursing father or Mother. We covered this when we spoke on Lev 19.3. Also mentioned are Bible verses: Ex 20.12, Eph 6.2-3 and Pro 1.8; 6.20; 23.22. Watch the Lev 19 video: https://youtu.be/ATXH9Y7fp4829:15 - Leviticus 20.10-21 - Punishments for Sexual Immorality.

If you've been feeling more tired, foggy, or emotional lately — you're not imagining it. Science shows that seasonal changes can intensify grief, depression, and anxiety. A University of Michigan study found that on high-pollen days, suicide deaths rose by 7.4%, and among those already struggling with mental health, that number climbed to 8.6%.On today's episode of The Be Ruthless Show, I unpack how physical triggers like allergies, shorter days, and disrupted sleep impact emotional healing — and how to care for your mind and body when both are carrying the weight of grief.Remember that you can reach out anytime:sam@griefhab.orgJoin the Griefhab Community:https://www.facebook.com/groups/griefhab7Join Team Ruthless - for multiple support groups every week and EVERY holiday!https://forms.gle/Zw639P7htwg2qFDH6Become a Faces of Grief: Surviving Pet Loss Author:sam@griefhab.orgPre register for Healing Together Through the Holidays https://mailchi.mp/6ba0911aecfb/92dv5u9dkj
Dr. Jamal Bryant drops a powerful wake-up call in this episode of Let's Be Clear. He exposes how power, politics, and profit are shaping what Black America sees, hears, and believes.From Bad Bunny's Super Bowl spotlight to Apple's billion-dollar marketing agenda, Bryant shows how capitalism cloaks itself in culture. He pushes back on Van Jones' statement about AI and reparations, arguing that no machine can fix a moral debt that still hasn't been paid.Standing in the legacy of the Black Church, Dr. Jamal Bryant reminds viewers that faith was never meant to be silent — it was built to confront injustice.
California just passed a first-of-its-kind law requiring social media platforms to display mental health warning labels for users under 18 — a move that's being compared to cigarette warnings.On today's episode of The Be Ruthless Show, I break down what the law really does, whether it will make a difference, and what actually helps when it comes to protecting young minds.This isn't just about teens — it's about all of us learning to set boundaries in a world that profits from our attention.Because awareness is a start — but action changes everything.

Infertility can make you feel old, at 28! Infertility messes with your own view of your age. Sometimes you get told that you have all the time in the world. That "you're young" and "you still have time." Then, in a weird twist, people will say, "You don't have forever."There are SO many emotions that come up when we talk about infertility and your age. In this episode, we are looking at all of them. We look at why Doug wanted to be a young age when he was a dad. We look at what people usually hear when it comes to their age. If you have ever felt like your age is bringing up feelings in your infertility story, this episode is for you.

Pastor Jamal Bryant isn't holding back in this episode of Let's Be Clear. He tackles the double standards around freedom of speech, racial equity, and social justice in America — exposing how Black voices are silenced while white commentators are protected.He also breaks down his boycott of Target: their broken $2B pledge after George Floyd's death, refusal to invest in HBCUs and Black banks, and the billions they've lost since. Pastor Bryant makes it clear: silence has consequences.
Infertility and God. There is a lot, where do we start?Many people believe in God. Not everyone, but many. For those who believe in God and believe that they have a relationship with God, infertility might be hurting that relationship. Infertility might be changing how you view God or putting pressure on your thoughts about God. This episode is all about that. In this episode, we talk about the ways in which thoughts on God might be changing and what infertility does to a relationship with God. This episode is not trying to convince anyone to believe in God and does not advocate for one religious perspective. If you have thoughts about God and infertility, this episode is for you.

Leviticus 18 continues the “holiness code,” talking about sexual immorality. The holiness code is a series of chapters in Leviticus (chapters 17-26) that call the Israelites to be holy and set apart for the Lord. In verse 3, God calls the Israelites not to be like the Egyptians (where they had been) and not to be like the people in the land they are going to (the Canaanites). The Israelites are not to engage in unlawful sexual relations, and included in that discussion, Dave talks about what the Bible has to say about Polygamy, child sacrifice, abortion, and homosexuality. The application for the Israelites in Moses' day was that they were to be set apart for the Lord; our application today is the same. We can not be perfect, but based on being perfectly forgiven in Christ, we ought to aim for living Holy lives, not allowing anything that will derail or lead us astray in our lives.Outline:00:24 - heavy subjects to be covered today. You must read the Bible for yourself and come to your own conclusions. If you are upset by what is shared, ask the question, am I upset at this teaching or am I upset by what the Bible says? When we find ourselves in contradiction to the Bible, we can either change and follow God's direction or we can rebel and go our own way.02:13 - using AI to study the Bible. Artificial intelligence is a great resource for doing research to see what the Bible says. 04:43 - reading all of Leviticus 1809:26 - Leviticus 18.1-5 & 24-30 - Sets up the rest of the Holiness Code. The Israelites were to be set apart.10:56 - Leviticus 18.3 - You must not do as they do in Egypt. What do they do in Egypt? Bible verses cited: Ex chapters 7-12; Ex 12.12; Ex 32 and Lev 17.7. You must not do as they do in the land of Canaan. What was the sin of the Canaanites? False worship & Idolatry (Baal, Asherah, & Molek) as well as child sacrifices, occult practices, witchcraft, and divination. Bible verses cited: Deut 18.9–12, Lev 18.26-27, Gen 15.16, Exo 3.8; 3.17; 33.2; 34.11; Deut, Joshua, Judges, etc). Joshua 1-12 God uses the Israelites to judge the Canaanites.What right does God have to judge the Canaanites, or any people group? Just wait until we talk about child sacrifice.

Episode 69: Why Am I Not Getting Better? 5 Hidden Blocks to Healing No One Talks AboutYou've changed your diet. You've tried detoxes. Maybe you've worked with multiple practitioners. Yet despite all the effort—you're still not feeling better.Sound familiar? You're not alone.In this episode of Connecting with the Thom's, we explore one of the most frustrating parts of the healing journey: when progress stalls. We break down the often-overlooked reasons why people stay stuck, and how biological medicine and trauma-informed approaches can shift things forward.Here's what we'll cover:
In this Bible Study, we unpack Leviticus chapter 17 in which we do a deep dive into Blood, from both a physical side as well as the spiritual side (as the instrument of atonement for our sins). In Leviticus 17.11 we get the entire point of the Gospel message, “the life is in the blood… I have given it to you to make atonement…”Outline:00:19 - Steel Wool Men's retreat. October 3-5, Friday 5pm - Sunday at 11am. Find out more and sign up at https://ironsheep.org/steelwool01:57 - Lev 17-26 - “the Holiness Code”Verses: Lev 19.2 “Speak to the entire assembly of Israel and say to them: ‘Be holy because I, the Lord your God, am holy.'” As well as Exo 19.3-606:47 - Leviticus 17.1-9Any and all sacrifices were to be done at the tabernacle. 08:43 - Leviticus 17.3 - is it sacrifice or slaughter? T here is an interesting disparity between the translations, which can change the meaning, but if you read in the context, I think the Bible gives us a clear answer.Hebrew word: שָׁחַט šāḥaṭ “Shawkhat” - To kill, slay, slaughter, or offer (sacrifice)Leviticus 17.5 & 7 - שָׂעִיר śāʿîr or se'irim literally translates (hairy ones), sometimes it is translated in the KJV as Goat, Kid, Devil, Satyr. Other verses mentioned Exodus 32 as well as chapters 7-12 and Deuteronomy 12.15.24:33 - Leviticus 17.10-16 - The Life is in the Blood. I have given it to you to make atonement.Life is in the blood (physically and spiritually)26:32 - Physical (there is “life” in our blood)1. Blood provides Oxygen and Nutrient Delivery2. Blood provides Waste Removal and Detoxification3. Blood provides an Immune Defense Arsenal4. Blood provides Rapid Clotting and Hemostasis5. Blood provides temperature and pH Regulation6. Blood provides incredible Self-Renewal and ScalePsalm 139.14, - we are fearfully and wonderfully made!The complexity of the human system can only be explained by an intelligent designer far superior to ourselves.33:57 - Life is in the blood - a spiritual perspective of blood as an atonement currency.,Verses hit on: Heb 9.22; Romans 3.23; 1 John 1.8; Isaiah 53.6; Romans 6.23; 1 John 2.2; Romans 5.8; Hebrews 2.17; 1 Peter 2.24; 2 Corinthians 5.21; Romans 3.25.

As we remember 9/11, I can't help but feel like this world hasn't come very far. On today's episode of The Be Ruthless Show, I honor those lost on 9/11 - as well as those lost yesterday. Charlie Kick was fatally shot while addressing an audience on the campus of Utah Valley University in Orem, Utah yesterday while a student at Evergreen High School in Colorado wounded two classmates before taking his own life. This is the world we live in. There are countless other tragedies that didn't make the news, and while guns are the issue, hate is the root of the problem. Tune in to hear an important conversation about doing better, communicating better, walking away better, apologizing better, disagreeing better, and just being better.Remember that you can reach out anytime:sam@griefhab.orgJoin the Griefhab Community:https://www.facebook.com/groups/griefhab7Join Team Ruthless - for multiple support groups every week and EVERY holiday!https://forms.gle/Zw639P7htwg2qFDH6Become a Faces of Grief: Surviving Pet Loss Author:sam@griefhab.orgAsk me about Griefhab On Demand!sam@griefhab.orgPre register for Healing Together Through the Holidays https://mailchi.mp/6ba0911aecfb/92dv5u9dkj
Have you ever wondered how people were saved before Jesus came? Many believe salvation in the Old Testament was impossible, or earned by following complex laws. But Scripture reveals something far greater: from the beginning, God had a plan to save His people by grace through faith. In this episode of the Binmin Popscast, Dr. Bob Martin (“Pops”) explains how the promise of salvation started in Eden, how it was previewed in the Old Testament, and how it finds its fulfillment in Jesus Christ.SUBSCRIBE to our channel / @binmin_orgJOIN the NEWSLETTER at https://binmin.org/newsletter/SUPPORT Binmin with a tax-deductible gift HERE - https://binmin.org/donate0:00 - INTRO 1:12 - HOW WERE PEOPLE SAVED BEFORE JESUS?1:20 - THE FIRST PROMISE OF SALVATION1:50 - FAITH OF THE PATRIARCHSHebrews 11Saved through faith2:40 - THE MOSAIC COVENANT AND THE LAW3:09 - THE SYMBOLS THAT POINT TO THE SAVIOR 4:08 - WHAT ABOUT OUTSIDERS?4:40 - WHAT CHANGED AFTER JESUS CAME?6:09 - THANK YOU & WRAP UPJOIN the NEWSLETTER.

In this Bible Study we walk through all of Leviticus 16 in which we study the Day of Atonement, also known as Yom Kippur (יום כיפור). The Day of Atonement was (and still is) the most holy day for all of Israel, although it was celebrated differently in Moses' day from how it is today. We will talk about the foundation of this Holy Day, as well as what a scapegoat is (and who/what is Azazel).OUTLINE:00:13 - Personal update.

We don't learn in school how to talk about what's bothering us—but we should. Holding things in doesn't just disappear; it builds until it comes out sideways.

Growth comes in many forms - some of it consciously, some unconsciously, and some even comes from others. On today's episode of The Be Ruthless Show, I discuss how even the messy parts - the rumors, the gossip, the hate — can actually fuel growth. Without realizing it, those who try to tear us down are the very people building our resilience, patience and strength. Because growth doesn't always come wrapped in pretty packages. Sometimes it comes from the fire, the struggle, and yes — even from the haters.Remember that you can reach out anytime:sam@griefhab.orgJoin the Griefhab Community:https://www.facebook.com/groups/griefhab7Join Team Ruthless - for multiple support groups every week and EVERY holiday!https://forms.gle/Zw639P7htwg2qFDH6Become a Faces of Grief: Surviving Pet Loss Author:sam@griefhab.orgAsk me about Griefhab On Demand!sam@griefhab.org
