Send us a textWillie is home sick and missing Sabbath School when his friends bring class to him. After a sweet visit and a lesson about the bronze serpent, Willie falls asleep and dreams he is in the Israelite camp, bitten by a snake. His friends race him through the crowded tents to look at the serpent on the pole. Willie chooses to trust God, looks up in faith, and is healed. He wakes to find his fever lower and learns with Mom why some people would not believe and how God's love invites us to trust Him. A gentle story that helps kids understand “look and live” and how Jesus heals those who believe. Talk about it:Why did Willie need to look at the serpent in his dream?What does “look and live” mean for us today?When is it hard to trust what God says, and how can you choose faith?Who could you encourage to believe God this week?Visit our website: kathyskidsstorytime.orgWe'd love to hear from you.To reach us quickly, click the “Send us a text” link at the top of the episode description.Or write to us by mail:Kathy's Kids StorytimePO Box 44270Charlotte, NC 28215-0043
In this episode we talk about the process of death, and touch on many of the questions and decisions that need to be made, so that you can be prepared if and when death affects your family.It's a step away from our usual mortuary and embalming talk, but after speaking with hundreds and hundreds of people, we have realised that most people first encounter their local funeral director when they are forced into planning the funeral of a loved one who has died. Unfortunately, this is not the best time, when shrouded by loss and grief, to be making snap decisions on inclusions that will shape the way your person is farewelled, and remembered. So what we are saying to you is this - get educated. Know what your choices are before you are in this situation. And, if possible, know what your loved ones - your parents, spouse or partner, siblings and kids would want for their final sendoff, long before those decisions need to be acted upon.We mention the Natural Death Care Centre in this pod, so as promised, here is the link: www.naturaldeathcarecentre.orgWe hope you enjoy this pod.

Moses blamed the people: “Because of you…” But the truth is, God was holding him accountable for his own choices. In this message, Pastor Garrett Marks shows how our view of people can justify disobedience, turn our hearts against God, and even cause us to miss out on victory.Drawing from Deuteronomy 1, Numbers 20, and personal stories, this sermon challenges us to love God, love people, and link shields together in the battle of faith.
Abraham refused discount destiny. In Genesis 23 he pays full price for a burial field, establishing legal dominion in the Promised Land. This message dismantles bargain-hunting spirituality and shows how relationships, money, and “second-mile” obedience become the title deed to God's purpose.

Send us a textAfter years in the desert, the Israelites grumble again when water runs out. Moses loses his patience and strikes the rock instead of speaking to it, and God sadly tells him he will not lead the people into Canaan. Later, as the people complain, poisonous snakes sweep through the camp. God gives a surprising rescue plan. Moses lifts a bronze snake on a pole, and everyone who looks in faith is healed. This story points to Jesus, who would be lifted up on the cross so that everyone who believes in Him can live forever. Talk about it:Why was striking the rock a problem, and what can we learn about trusting God?What happened when people chose to look at the bronze snake?How does this story help you understand what Jesus did on the cross?What is one way you can choose faith when you feel afraid?Visit our website: kathyskidsstorytime.orgWe'd love to hear from you.To reach us quickly, click the “Send us a text” link at the top of the episode description.Or write to us by mail:Kathy's Kids StorytimePO Box 44270Charlotte, NC 28215-0043

The Bible warns us that from the moment we are saved, we are hunted. In this sermon, Pastor Joe Rice preaches on Proverbs 6:5 and Proverbs 22:3, showing how Satan's hunters seek to destroy destinies, discourage new converts, and derail believers.

Send us a textWhile studying the story of Korah's rebellion, the Shoebox Kids wonder how to recognize God's leaders today. Pastor Hill visits their class to share what pastors do and how God calls people to serve. Inspired, the kids secretly plan a surprise “thank-you” party to show appreciation for their pastor, even solving a parking puzzle so he will not suspect a thing. When the lights flash on and everyone shouts “Surprise!”, Pastor Hill is overwhelmed with gratitude. This heartwarming story teaches kids to respect God's leaders, work together, and look for creative ways to say “thank you.” Talk about it:Why is it important to appreciate the people who serve at church?How did the kids keep the party a secret and solve the parking problem?What did the class learn from the story of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram?Who can you thank or encourage at your church this week?Visit our website: kathyskidsstorytime.orgWe'd love to hear from you.To reach us quickly, click the “Send us a text” link at the top of the episode description.Or write to us by mail:Kathy's Kids StorytimePO Box 44270Charlotte, NC 28215-0043

Send us a textKorah is unhappy that he is not a priest, so he convinces Dathan, Abiram, and many leaders to challenge Moses and Aaron. Moses prays and tells everyone to bring bowls of incense so God can show whom He has chosen. The next day, God stops the rebellion: the ground opens under the ringleaders, fire falls on the 250 men with incense, and a disease spreads among the crowd until Aaron runs with his incense to save the people. Finally, God makes Aaron's walking stick blossom with flowers and almonds so everyone knows He chose Aaron to serve. This story teaches why jealousy is dangerous, why God's work is holy, and how He wants us to trust His choices with humble hearts.

Isaiah 54 calls barren hearts and barren churches to sing, enlarge, and expect. In this opening conference message, Pastor Chris Aulson casts vision for a “spiritual baby boom”: fruit that remains, disciples raised, and churches planted to the ends of the earth. Learn how God often allows our limits to surface so His power can be seen, why faith sings before it sees, and what it practically means to “lengthen cords and strengthen stakes.” The service concludes with targeted prayer for fruitfulness and for couples believing for a miracle.https://TakingTheLandPodcast.comSUBSCRIBE TO PREMIUM FOR MORE:• Subscribe for only $3/month on Supercast: https://taking-the-land.supercast.com/• Subscribe for only $3.99/month on Spotify: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/taking-the-land/subscribe• Subscribe for only $4.99/month on Apple Podcasts: https://apple.co/3vy1s5b

Nearly one-third of all parrot species are threatened with extinction, yet most people picture these charismatic birds as noisy pets in cages rather than the complex, emotionally intelligent wild creatures they truly are. In this captivating episode, host Dr. Cat Vendl speaks with Dr. Pat Latas, a founding member of the newly founded IUCN Wild Parrot Specialist Group, whose four-decade journey spans from rescuing a tiny house sparrow as a child to working with critically endangered kakapo on remote New Zealand islands.Pat reveals how the illegal wildlife trade has exploded into a $40-60 billion global business fueled by social media. Discover why there's a "parrot people stigma" in conservation science, how 14 naturalized parrot species are thriving in Los Angeles (with some endangered Mexican species now more abundant in California than their native range), and why Pat combines her scientific illustration skills with conservation work to protect these beloved yet threatened birds.LinksNewly founded IUCN Wild Parrot Specialist GroupParrot Crisis SummitPat's art workWanna get in touch with Pat Latas?

A call to reject “Gospel Lite” and become a generation God can interrupt. From Jonah 1:1–3, we see how comfort and plans collide with God's mission. Examples from Pastor Wayman Mitchell and Pastor Joe Campbell show how yielded lives gain weight and anointing. Jesus models a life that is fully focused yet instantly interruptible (John 5). The call touches the whole home like Abraham and Isaac (Genesis 22). A Himalayan rescue story shows why carrying a burden keeps you alive. Pastor Ortiz closes with his Army “dream sheet” testimony and a clear altar call to surrender.https://TakingTheLandPodcast.comSUBSCRIBE TO PREMIUM FOR MORE:• Subscribe for only $3/month on Supercast: https://taking-the-land.supercast.com/• Subscribe for only $3.99/month on Spotify: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/taking-the-land/subscribe• Subscribe for only $4.99/month on Apple Podcasts: https://apple.co/3vy1s5bKey texts: Jonah 1:1–3; Jeremiah 1 (God speaks); John 5:16–17; Genesis 22:1–14.Themes: surrender, interruptions, calling, discipleship, conviction, generosity, family alignment with God's will.Show NotesALL PROCEEDS GO TO WORLD EVANGELISMLocate a CFM Church near you: https://cfmmap.orgWe need five-star reviews!

While Strength&Solidarity is on a break we're taking the chance to re-up some favourite episodes.Last April, in Episode 51, I talked with Negin Shiraghaei, founder of Azadi Network, about her work to build a network for Iranians in the diaspora – as a common space for advancing human rights and democracy at home. She talked about the complexity of the task, and the value of embracing lessons from failure.Here's the orginal show notes:In the quarter century since Iran's Islamic revolution, thousands of Iranians have left their home to live in exile. Although they all have a country in common, that diaspora is hugely diverse – coming from different generations and with a wide range of origin stories, political allegiances and views about the change they would like to see in Iran. When in 2022 a young woman in Iran was beaten and killed by the morality police for wearing her hijab incorrectly, anger across the exile community suggested favorable conditions for a diaspora movement for rights in Iran to emerge. But what form should such a movement take? The founder and co-director of Azadi Network, Negin Shiraghaei, reflects on the choices she and other organizers faced as they took up that challenge.And in the Coda, Turkish eco-activist Burcu Meltem Arik shares a poem by Nazim Hikmet reminding us of what nature can teach us about resilience.

Raising the next generation is not a top-down project. It lives or dies in the middle. From Acts 18, Pastor Adam shows how Aquila and Priscilla quietly took Apollos aside and turned raw zeal into sharp effectiveness. Along the way: Nokia vs. Toyota culture, Jethro's counsel to Moses (Exodus 18), the tragedy of Judges 2, Titus 1 order, and a USS Wisconsin illustration on “recommissioning” veterans to train the new crew. This sermon calls gifted Apolloses to be teachable and seasoned Aquilas/Priscillas to re-engage.Scriptures: Acts 18:24–28; Exodus 18:17–22; Acts 6:3–4; Romans 16:3–4; Judges 2:7–10; Titus 1:5; 1 Kings 12:8; Proverbs 20:5.00:00 Opening humor and setup01:24 Acts 18 and the Nokia vs. Toyota lesson05:16 Aquila & Priscilla take Apollos aside09:12 The role of middle management in ministry13:01 Obstacles: pride in Apollos, comfort in elders20:40 Judges 2 and the generational gap25:02 Teachability and drawing out counsel31:10 Wise correction and practical involvement34:46 USS Wisconsin illustration: recommission the veterans37:07 Testimony of Gus Carrillo & closing callShow NotesALL PROCEEDS GO TO WORLD EVANGELISMLocate a CFM Church near you: https://cfmmap.orgWe need five-star reviews!

"How to Be Free”TaHa 70-72Surat TaHa famously illustrates themes of liberation from slavery. How does that apply to us in our modern context? In this thought-provoking episode, we delve into the profound concepts of liberation and detachment from Dunya illustrated by the magicians' martyrdom in the story of Musa (s). You will learn:
Many are hurt in church. Hannah was provoked in the house of God, yet she chose God's will there and found healing there. Elkanah's double portion models grace amid broken systems. The call is clear: refuse bitterness, stop replaying the wound, forgive, plant yourself, and let God turn the place of pain into the place of joy.

Send us a textDeeDee rushes over when Mom opens a very important envelope. It is from the governor, inviting her to a special award dinner. While they wash dishes, Mom shares a story from long ago about neighbors who brought food when their pantry was empty. Their kindness led the family to church and closer to God. Years later, Mom helps run a soup kitchen and shelter, showing God's love in action. The governor noticed, but the best reward is serving others. Kids will learn how simple kindness can change a life and point people to Jesus.

After the offering (skip to 12:50), Pastor Brown preaches “Standing on the Shoulders of Giants” from Exodus 28:1–2,12. We are not self-made. God designs leaders and believers to carry names on our shoulders and on our hearts—with affection and responsibility.Key movements: Abraham's intercession for Lot, Israel blessed “for the fathers' sake,” Aaron bearing Israel's names, foundations with the apostles, our fellowship's promise, supporting tired leaders like Moses, honoring modern giants, rescuing giants like David, Paul's lonely burden, and God's memorials—Cornelius' prayers, fragrant giving, and Mordecai remembered.Call to action: become a “hiding place” (Isaiah 32:2). Put real names on your shoulders in prayer, service, and sacrificial giving. God remembers the carriers.Scriptures referenced: Exodus 28; Genesis 19; Deuteronomy 9; Revelation 21:14; Isaiah 58:12; Matthew 23:4; Galatians 6:2; Exodus 17; 2 Samuel 21; 2 Corinthians 11:28; 2 Timothy 4:16; Acts 10; Philippians 4:18–19; Matthew 25:35–40; Esther 2,6; Isaiah 32:2.Chapters12:50 Standing on Shoulders • Text: Exodus 28; Newton quote15:20 Giants and Intercession • Abraham rescues Lot18:40 Not Our Righteousness • Fathers and foundations22:10 Names on the Priest • Carried before the Lord25:30 Shoulders and Heart • Affection + responsibility28:45 The Weight Leaders Carry • COVID lesson31:30 Blessed to Bless • Carry across tribes34:50 Hold Up Moses' Hands • Supporting elders38:00 Honoring Giants Today • Campbell example40:30 When Giants Need Help • Abishai saves David42:40 Paul's Burden and Loneliness45:00 Memorial Before God • Cornelius, aroma of giving47:20 “Least of These” • Esther & Mordecai remembered50:00 Be a Hiding Place • Isaiah 32:252:30 Prayer for Weary Pastors • Altar responseShow NotesALL PROCEEDS GO TO WORLD EVANGELISMLocate a CFM Church near you: https://cfmmap.orgWe need five-star reviews!

Send us a textWhen God's special tent was finished, He chose helpers to care for it. Moses called the people together and showed that Aaron would be the high priest, with special clothes that jingled with tiny bells and a shining breastplate with twelve jewels. The Levites would pack, carry, and set up the tent wherever God led. Aaron's sons lit sweet incense from God's holy fire, reminding everyone of His promise to send Jesus to save us. But two sons disobeyed and used their own fire, teaching the people the wrong lesson about God's holiness. God wants loving obedience because His work is special, and He keeps His promise to rescue us through Jesus.

“How to Respond to Fear with Authenticity and Action"Fear can be weaponized to control and oppress and it can also be a doorway to receiving Allah's reassurance and security. How do we soothe our fear? Do we look for security in the proximity to power? Or do we look for security in the proximity to The Most Powerful? In this episode of Quran Conversations, Dalia Mogahed and Samia Mubarak @Quranic_ocean delve into the iconic scene from the story of Musa (s) where the Prophet of God faces off against the most skilled magicians in the land. You will learn:
When you think about sunlight, you probably picture warm summer days — not a cutting-edge medical treatment. But as recent research reveals, specific wavelengths of UV light can help calm runaway inflammation, a key driver behind autoimmune diseases.In this conversation, John MacMahon, co-founder of Cytokind and veteran medical device entrepreneur, shares how a dermatology treatment for psoriasis led to groundbreaking results for MS, COVID, and other inflammatory conditions.

It can sometimes seem as though fighting for queer rights in a hostile society is an unwinnable project. All too often, punitive laws, state violence, economic exclusion and social hostility are stacked against a community that is isolated and excluded. That's certainly true in Tunisia and other North African countries. But in this episode, queer Tunisian activist Assala Mdawkhy tells host Akwe Amosu that creating safe spaces and building a movement for LGBTQI rights should be taken as indicators of staying power and eventual success.
