I. The Lawful Use of ThemII. Our Promissory Oaths III. Our Need of the Oath of God

In this episode, we continue our Lenten book study and focus on chapters 1 & 2. We reflect on how God originally designed us in the Garden of Eden, how the lies and idols we invite into our lives strip away this identity, and how the Jubilee is a time of restoration. We also dive deep into the biblical significance of the ten plagues, why tearing down our idols is a painful process, and the beauty of hoping for a good not yet seen.   Heather's One Thing - The Festival of Praise at Franciscan University and the song Fall Like Rain Heather's Other One Thing - Ascension's Holy Bible – The Great Adventure Catholic Bible, Second Edition Premium Sister Miriam's One Thing - Those who live in Lafayette and attended an event at the University of Louisiana  Sister Miriam's Other One Thing - Jean Valjean: Bought with a Price (a scene from the 1998 Les Miserables with Liam Neesen) Michelle's One Thing - Her recent trip with family to the Dominican Republic   Jesus and the Jubilee Reading Schedule: March 10th: Chapters 1 & 2 March 17th: Chapters 3 & 4 March 24th: Chapters 5 & 6 March 31st: Chapters 7 & 8 April 7th: Chapter 9 & Conclusion April 14th: Epilogue and Preparing for the Triduum and Easter   Announcement: It's not too late to order your copy of “Jesus and the Jubilee” at the St. Paul Center with promo code “ABIDE15” for 15% off.

Our Need for a Substitute - Exodus 32:30-35 (February 23, 2025) by Michael B. Linton

Worship is not something we only “do” on Sundays; it's something everyone does every moment of every day. In this 7-part sermon series, we explore Christian worship, studying the Psalms to trace the connections between Sunday worship and EVERYDAY WORSHIP. This message “Our Need for Confession and Pardon” comes out of Psalm 51.

What makes a life worth living? The world offers a million different answers, but the Bible makes it clear, a life worth living recognizes: God is eternal, We are Frail, Sin and God's wrath, Our Need for God's Grace. 

Lead Pastor Josh Carstensen continues our Christmas series in Matthew chapter 2. We all have a backstory. Even villains have backstories that we can sympathize with. So how do we know what's good and what's bad? The Christmas story is full of characters with their own backstories. When we look at the stories of Herod and the wise men, what can we learn from the choices that they made when it comes to Jesus? Through reading their stories, one thing becomes clear: we are all sinners in need of forgiveness.

Last week, we were doing some work on our basement bathroom, getting ready to host a family of seven. A couple days before the family flew in, we were putting some final touches on the paint and installing a nice vintage mirror Faye thrifted and a couple cute shelves when she noticed that the mat in front of our kitchen sink was unusually wet — like, not the 4-year-old-spilled-her-water-wet, but wetter than that. We hung the mat out to dry and put it down again that night and went to bed. The next morning, the same thing. And we noticed that our flooring was beginning to swell and warp. We were dead tired from all the work downstairs, our seven guests were coming in 24 hours, and we now have water coming from we-know-not-where. Well, we now know where — some combination of a dysfunctional dishwasher and a badly configured drain pipe. They ultimately had to rip out the floor, and the sink and part of the wall, the pipe, the dishwasher, a number of our cabinets in the process. So we've had some low moments this week (tired moments, discouraged moments, wrestling-with-God moments). To be clear, this kind of low is light and momentary compared with what some of you are suffering right now, but we've had our low moments, and I'm sharing about them with you because I was stumbling through them while I was preparing to preach these verses — and they ministered to me deeply. And as they ministered to me, I prayed for you — because we all have low moments of various kinds, and so we're all regularly in need of reviving.And while the low moment for Israel here was a severe judgment (likely exile), this really is a psalm and a prayer for all our low moments in the Lord. We're going to look first at our need for revival, then at our hope for revival, and lastly at the fruit of revival. Our Need for RevivalLike I mentioned, the central prayer of Psalm 85 is this prayer for revival, for restoration. Verses 4–6:Restore us again, O God of our salvation, and put away your indignation toward us!Will you be angry with us forever? Will you prolong your anger to all generations?Will you not revive us again, that your people may rejoice in you?Israel experienced these cycles in the Old Covenant. God would show up with stunning mercy and rescue them from their enemies, like he did in Egypt and at the Red Sea (and then dozens of times after that). Then they would eventually grow comfortable and complacent and start chasing after idols again. Then God would judge them to humble them and lead them to repentance. That's where we find them here, praying in another valley of judgment. And, by God's grace, they've woken up and come to their senses (at least these Sons of Korah have), and so they pray: Restore us again, O God. . . . Revive us. . . . And there's remarkable faith and power in these prayers. They could have just prayed, “We know we've sinned against you, so forgive us,” or “Comfort us,” or “Let us back into the land,” but no they prayed revive us, restore us — literally turn and give us life. Do something inside of us that we can't do in ourselves. Awaken our weak and wandering faith. Burn away whatever's keeping us from you. Stir our hearts into flame again. Start a revival right here, between our lungs. And they asked him to do something impossible like that because they knew he works those kinds of miracles in human hearts. He's not just sovereign over forests, thunderstorms, and elections, but he's sovereign over fears and feelings and faith. The apostle Paul knew this about God and had a painfully low moment, and so he says, 2 Corinthians 1:8–9:“We were so utterly burdened beyond our strength that we despaired of life itself. Indeed, we felt that we had received the sentence of death. But that was to make us rely not on ourselves but on God who raises the dead.” The God over your low moments is a God who raises the dead. Of course he can get you through this. Of course he revive your dull and struggling heart. So pray bigger prayers, prayers like this one, Will you not revive us again, that your people may rejoice in you? Revive my sleepy heart. Revive my aching heart. Revive my wayward heart.IS GOD ANGRY WITH ME?Now, before I say more about this reviving God and our hope in him, the question I wrestled with more than any other this week was whether we should still pray verses like verses 4–5:Restore us again, O God of our salvation, Put away your indignation toward us!Will you be angry with us forever? Will you prolong your anger to all generations? Will you not revive us again. . . .Does God still get angry with us like this? When we go through low moments in faith, moments of serious trial or doubt or temptation, is God angry with us? Are we tasting indignation in those moments? And there's three things I want to say to you.First, if you believe in Jesus — if you've been saved by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone — there is therefore now no condemnation for you. Your days of wrath are over. God has already put away his wrath and indignation, once for all, by crushing his Son in your place. We don't have to wake up and wonder if we're going to live under wrath today. If we belong to Jesus and live in him by faith, we're living all day, every day under the Father's grace and mercy and love.He's not angry with you like that anymore — I hope you can believe that. He loves you like a father or mother loves a child — even more than good fathers love their children. In Christ, his love doesn't waver, and his mercies are new every morning. They're new today. Now that's not to say that our sin doesn't displease him. It does. And this is the second thing to say here: even beloved, forgiven, no-condemnation children can grieve the Holy Spirit (Ephesians 4:30). And so God still disciplines us, like any good Father would, and that discipline is often very painful. But that pain is never wrath. It's fatherly love. It's not punishment. It's a keeping pain, a refining pain. Our low moments, in Christ, are all acts of love meant to lead us to more of him. That being said, and this is the third thing, if you're knowingly persisting in some sin right now, verses like this should make you tremble. Unrepentant sin makes him very angry. It fills him with righteous, violent wrath. Israel's exile was an awful judgment against their unbelief — and it's now, here in Psalm 85, a merciful warning to us about what happens when we won't walk away from sin. Those who are his will never taste his wrath — never — but those who pretend to be his while living in sin have every reason to fear. If that's you, you should pray, “Put away your indignation toward me! Will you be angry with me forever?” Give me faith to finally believe and repent and walk in the light! Give me eyes to see Jesus for who he is — Lord, Savior, and Treasure, a Treasure far more valuable and satisfying than anything sin has ever done for me. And give me courage to finally put my sin to death by your Spirit.The Hope of RevivalOkay, so we've felt Israel's desperate need for revival here. They're languishing in exile — spiritually, relationally, emotionally. They're feeling the consequences of God's anger, and they know he's right to be angry. Their suffering isn't injustice. So what can they appeal to? What can they possibly say to the God they've sinned against? They have nowhere to stand now — nowhere but mercy. Verses 7–8:Show us your steadfast love, O Lord, and grant us your salvation.Let me hear what God the Lord will speak, for he will speak peace to his people, to his saints. . . .We know how wicked we've been. We know we don't deserve your forgiveness and comfort, but we're asking for it anyway, because we know who you are. You're the God of steadfast love. You're the saving God. And so even while our lives are anything but peaceful — even while wars rage and our enemies make our lives miserable — we trust that you will speak peace to your people, your saints. Where does that confidence come from? They can have this kind of confidence, despite how far they've strayed from God and how much they deserve his judgment, because this God has revealed himself to be a certain kind of God. At Mount Sinai, God passed by Moses and declared to his people, Exodus 34:6–7 (and we hear these verses all through Psalm 85): “The LORD, the LORD, a God merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abounding in steadfast love and faithfulness, keeping steadfast love for thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin. . . .”He doesn't have to be that way with sinners. He would have been totally just to just wipe us all out. But that's not who he is. Even when he was obviously angry with Israel (and, again, he was right to be angry), the psalmists here knew he would speak mercy again (to those who were truly his). And they knew this, in part, because he had done it so many times before. This is verses 1–3: Lord, you were favorable to your land; you restored the fortunes of Jacob.You forgave the iniquity of your people; you covered all their sin. SelahYou withdrew all your wrath; you turned from your hot anger.You restored. You forgave. You covered. You withdrew your wrath. You turned away your anger. In other words, we're not asking you to do something that you haven't already done for us. And we're not asking you to be anyone other than who you've always been. We're asking you to be who you've been and do what you've done — again. And when we look back, we have so much more to say than they did, don't we? Our past is even better than their past, because we know Jesus. They could remember what God did in Egypt, and the wilderness, and Canaan, but we have Bethlehem and Calvary. We can pray:“Jesus, you came into our world, born in a manger. For our sake, you were obedient to the point of death on a cross, you were pierced for our transgressions, you were crushed for our iniquities, you were wounded so that we might be healed, you were poor so that we could become rich. You suffered, the righteous for the unrighteous, to bring us to God. And three days later, you rose to conquer death and give us life.”The Sons of Korah couldn't say that yet, so they said: You restored. You forgave. You covered. They would have died to pray the kinds of prayers we get to pray, the prayers we pray every day — in Jesus's name.And yet you, some of you, you still doubt God's mercy. You don't want to doubt his mercy (and you might not even admit that you doubt it). You don't want to feel all the guilt and shame you carry around with you. And yet — for a hundred different reasons (in your mind, and in your story, and in your family) — it's so hard to believe he's like this. I hope this prayer makes that kind of mercy feel possible again. Israel had utterly rejected God for the millionth time, they knew they deserved what they were suffering — and they still knew God would be merciful to them. Even now, you will speak peace to your people. I hear God leaning in, through these verses, to say to some of you, Beloved, how much more do I have to do to prove my mercy? God loves to revive the undeserving, yes even you, because he loves to show mercy — it's who he is.The Fruit of RevivalWe've looked now at the need for revival — then and now. We've looked at our hope for revival: the merciful God, who raises the dead. With the time we have left, I want to look briefly at three fruits of this kind of revival. When God works this spiritual life and resolve in a people, what happens next? I see at least three kinds of fruit here.1. JOYFirst, this kind of revival fuels our joy. This is a pretty wild way for sinners to pray, really. God, we're suffering right now because you're angry with us. And you're right to be angry with us because we've rebelled against you — blatantly and persistently. But we're asking you to forgive us anyway, and not just forgive us, but to make us really, really happy. “Will you not revive us again, that your people may rejoice in you?” How can they pray like that! How can they sin like they have and then turn around and ask for joy? Because they know that God wants them to be happy. That's the only way to make sense of this verse: We believe you'll be willing to revive us because we know you want us to rejoice in you. And he does! That's the kind of God we have. It's literally too good to be true, but the holy God of the universe is personally, sovereignly, and eternally invested in making you happy. Has anyone known a god like this? He doesn't just want an obedient people — he's not looking for slaves who will do what he says — no he wants his people to be as happy as humanly possible in him.And, notice, they pray specifically for a joy in God. “Will you not revive us again, that your people may rejoice in you?” In other words, this isn't the kind of rejoicing we did when the plumber fixed our leak this week. Don't get me wrong, we were all kinds of happy that the floor was dry, and we were thankful for dear William and the good work he did, but this is different. Yes, God promises to provide relief and establish peace for his people, but they don't only rejoice in him for what he does. He is their exceeding joy. We heard this last week, in Psalm 84, didn't we?How lovely is your dwelling place, O LORD of hosts!My soul longs, yes, faints for the courts of the LORD; my heart and flesh sing for joy to the living God. . . . A day in your courts is better than a thousand elsewhere.Find the best circumstances, in the most beautiful place on earth, with the very best people, and they'd a thousand times rather be with God. Happiness, as Pastor Jonathan told us, is getting to be with Jesus. Jesus himself says, John 15:11, “These things I have spoken to you, that my joy may be in you, and that your joy may be full.” In other words, I want you to be as happy as humanly possible — joy to the full — like I am.So, as we pray for God to revive us, we're looking for more than relief from suffering, or reconciliation in a relationship, or freedom from temptation. We want greater, fuller joy in him. God wants you to be as happy as you can possibly be, and you'll only find that much joy in him.2. FAITHFULNESSJoy isn't the only fruit of this God-wrought revival, though. There's a second fruit, and it's hiding in verse 8:Let me hear what God the Lord will speak, for he will speak peace to his people, to his saints, but let them not turn back to folly. Restore us, O Lord, and then don't let us to turn away from you again. The root Hebrew word for turn back is actually used several times in this psalm: You restored the fortunes (verse 1). You turned from anger (verse 3). Restore us again (verse 4). Will you not revive us again? (verse 6). And then verse 8 (the Hebrew listeners would have heard this word repeated), “but let them not turn back to folly.” You've turned and restored us in the past, Lord. We want you to turn back and give us life — and then don't let us turn back to our sin. Our faithfulness to God is a second fruit of this revival.Again, this is how far his mercy reaches. He not only forgives us and satisfies us, in Christ, but he also preserves our faith in him and works obedience in us. He has plenty of power to keep us from turning. And so when he gives new faith, or when he revives weak or wandering faith, that faith always produces new life: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. Where, in your life, are you being lured back into folly? What besetting sins tempt you to turn away from this mercy? Ask God for a revival with resolve — a resolve to reject all the temptations of folly and embrace how he's called us to spend our short lives here before glory.3. GLORYAnd that leads us to our third fruit: glory. When God revives us like this, we experience greater joy in him and we turn away from sin and temptation (to greater faithfulness) — and so glory fills the land. These are three great fruits of revival: our joy, our faithfulness, and his glory. This last one may be the most encouraging thing I saw all week. Verses 8–9 again,Let me hear what God the Lord will speak, for he will speak peace to his people, to his saints; but let them not turn back to folly.Surely his salvation is near to those who fear him, that glory may dwell in our land.What does that mean? If God gives this kind of revival, and unleashes this kind of joy in us, how would his glory “dwell in the land”? What are the Sons of Korah imagining here? There's no indication here (that I can see, anyway) that they're looking for pillars of fire or mountains of smoke. No, I think they're mainly imagining God's glory in and among his people. They're thinking of all the evidences of his presence and power in their relationships, their families, their neighborhoods and workplaces. God will be glorified when his people live out their faith in obedience with joy. “Will you not revive us again, that your people may rejoice in you . . . and that glory may dwell in our land?” Because when your people are satisfied in all that you are for us, you look great — you get the glory.And this is what we want to happen in these Cities. We want this to happen all over the world. We want this glory to fill the whole earth as the waters cover the sea (a sensitive picture for us after our water issues the last couple weeks). But that's what we want — we want glory streaming down and swelling up to fill everything we see and know, and that happens through our faith-filled rejoicing in God. The Kiss at the TableWhen the Sons of Korah kneeled down to ask for mercy, they sang one of the most beautiful pictures in all of Scripture, verse 10,Steadfast love and faithfulness meet; righteousness and peace kiss each other.It's beautiful because it's scandalous. When it comes to sinners, how can righteousness and peace ever meet, much less kiss? God is perfectly righteous — he never does wrong, excuses wrong, or overlooks wrong — holy, holy, holy. And we've all sinned, even this week, even this morning. And any sin, even one, against a holy God deserves the fullness of his wrath in hell. It would be evil for God to simply speak peace over our wickedness. And this brings us to the table. Righteousness and peace meet in Jesus. They come together, like two massive beams, at the cross. And they don't just meet — they don't just reluctantly agree to work together for a couple years — no, they kiss. There's no tension or distance between these two, not when they meet in this God, in this gospel. They kiss, for all who believe, beneath the broken body and poured out blood of Jesus. Because of Jesus, God's not angry with you anymore. He stands ready to forgive you, to revive you, and to fill your hearts to bursting with joy, all for his glory.

Conquer the Weight of Other People's OpinionsEpisode 67 focuses on managing and overcoming the impact of other people's opinions on our lives. At all times, we have the power to control our responses to external judgments of others. It is our mindset and the way we think about the situation that determine how successfully we are in navigating these situations. I share some personal anecdotes to illustrate the lasting effect of critical comments and explains how such incidences are tied to our brain's primitive protective mechanisms. I also delve into the ways these opinions can hold us back, advocating for active mental management and self-reflection to progress past them.

Seven Days Pt. 1 | February 25, 2024Pastor Bria GilmoreJohn 3:16 (NIV) For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.Romans 5:8 (NIV) But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.Luke 19:29-40 (NIV) As he approached Bethphage and Bethany at the hill called the Mount of Olives, he sent two of his disciples, saying to them, “Go to the village ahead of you, and as you enter it, you will find a colt tied there, which no one has ever ridden. Untie it and bring it here. If anyone asks you, ‘Why are you untying it?' say, ‘The Lord needs it.'” Those who were sent ahead went and found it just as he had told them. As they were untying the colt, its owners asked them, “Why are you untying the colt?” They replied, “The Lord needs it.” They brought it to Jesus, threw their cloaks on the colt and put Jesus on it. As he went along, people spread their cloaks on the road. When he came near the place where the road goes down the Mount of Olives, the whole crowd of disciples began joyfully to praise God in loud voices for all the miracles they had seen: “Blessed is the king who comes in the name of the Lord! Peace in heaven and glory in the highest!” Some of the Pharisees in the crowd said to Jesus, “Teacher, rebuke your disciples!”“I tell you,” he replied, “if they keep quiet, the stones will cry out.”The only response to Jesus' coming is worship.✓  Our Need for Control✓  Expectations from Others✓  Our Expectations of GodMY ONE RESPONSEI.

Paul tells us in this passage that we were dead in our sin and floating down the stream of our sinful desires carried along by the power of Satan himself. What is a more hopeless situation than being dead? But this passage also contains the best news: Though we were dead in sin, God in His great mercy and love made us alive in Christ, raised us up with Him, and seated us securely with Him in the heavenly places.Sermon Outline:I. Our Need for SalvationII. God's Action for SalvationIII. Our Future in SalvationSermon Discussion Questions:1. Ephesians 2:1 describes humanity as “dead in trespasses and sins.” In what ways have you seen or experienced the reality of spiritual death prior to knowing Christ? If you are a Christian, how would you describe the difference in the influence of the world, the flesh, and the devil on your life after Christ saved you?2. The apostle Paul emphasizes that God saves us purely out of mercy and love, not because of our works. Why is salvation by grace alone so important to understand? What problems can result from forgetting this truth?3. Reflecting on your own faith journey, when have you experienced the “immeasurable riches of God's grace” (Eph 2:7)? How might remembering his grace and kindness make it easier to share the gospel with others?4. Discuss the significance of being “made alive together with Christ” and being “seated with Him in the heavenly places.” How does this impact our perspective on present challenges and the assurance of our future?5. Reflect on the analogy of different lifeguard rescue techniques in the sermon. How does the extreme nature of our spiritual condition impact the way we understand God's salvation? What are the implications for our evangelistic efforts?

We know that genes play a role in transmitting a predisposition to addictions, but it's often that it's the capacity of the chances of becoming addicted are passed on. This is where our degree of sensitivity can come in. The more sensitive (or vulnerable) a person is, the more suffering they experience when painful events happen - and the more hurt we humans are, the more we naturally want to escape that pain...and this can sometimes be via addictive behaviors.  While there's no definitive causal link in the research between being high sensitivity and addictive behavior, there's certainly a suggestion of a connection, or correlation. It's definitely been true in my own experience and observations in my clinical practice. Up to 30% of people are Highly Sensitive Persons (HSPs). HSPs are born with a very sensitive nervous system - one that takes in and processes LOTS of information. This means they tend to notice all. the. things., and their brains end up working overtime to process it all, resulting in overwhelm. While this sensitivity can be a great thing that allows HSPs to have a high level of emotional intelligence and can be very creative, it can also be potentially exhausting.  Since HSPs often experience the world as overstimulaiton, they - like other humans - will often seek a way to turn it off. Empaths may do this too when they become overwhelmed when they feel too much - either their pain or another's. Then there are those of us who may not have a diagnosis or classification of HSP or Empath but who still self-identify as a more sensitive type and will also have more of a chance of developing behavior to cope with pain. One of the common very human ways of doing so is by escaping from, erasing, or numbing it… which can lead to (you guessed it) addictive behaviors. And it's not just our genes or our sensitivities and vulnerabilities that can play a role. Our environment also is a HUGE factor, which is good news, because we can do something about the environment.  When it comes to healing addiction, we need to create for ourselves the healing environment that we didn't get when we were younger. Especially if we are sensitive - even more environmental considerations need to be taken into account. Us wild and whacky humans are either going to try to soothe our pain through external means - via codependency, being addicted to love, by doing a substance… OR we learn to stay with our pain without trying to compensate for it, because addictions are all an attempt to compensate for pain. To lessen it.Dr. Carl Hart, a professor of psychology and psychiatry at Columbia and author of Drug Use for Grown Ups, supports that pre-existing kind vulnerabilities (psychological or circumstantial) can lead to addiction as we attempt to ease our suffering. He says we must “look beyond the drug itself” to things like co-occurring psychiatric disorders and socioeconomic factors. Now, the problem is that we learn the skills to be with pain as young children – and many of us didn't have great support for that. Any child will have painful experiences simply by being alive. They could be too hot, too cold, too hungry, sick, or in pain. We learn to hold pain and be with it when we know that pain is something we can handle and that it's temporary - it will pass. But how does a child learn to hold pain? Someone could model it for us, like our parents holding our pain with compassion and being empathetic witnesses. Helping us see that this pain isn't devastating, we can handle it. But if we're not held like that, then as soon as pain arises, we think it's never going to stop, we'll feel overwhelmed, and that's when we need to soothe it from the outside. Now, staying present with pain goes against everything we're programmed for. Remember, our motivational triad is to avoid pain, seek pleasure, and do what's easy. Being with pain is NONE of the above. Also keep in mind that when we evolved that way, addictive substances weren't as readily available - those concentrated dopamine hits of drugs like heroin and cocaine, high-proof alcohol, high glycemic-index carbs, easy access to porn… And here is where we circle back to how there is for the most part no “cure” in modern psychiatry. So many clients will say, I wasn't depressed for years, but it came back. Or I thought I was over beating myself up, but here I am back at it. Listen… we can get so much better. Progress isn't measured by CURE. But HEALING is being with it, cultivating the capacity to be with it… which can actually help it happen less and less, with decreased duration and intensity too. So if we experience suffering along the way, it's just a sign that at that moment we aren't able to give ourselves that capacity to hold our suffering. And the way we compensate for that often creates more suffering for ourselves if it's in the form of habit-forming behaviors that lead to addiction. Buddha says that with our minds and thoughts, we create the world. But the part that isn't mentioned a lot in the teachings is how before we create the world with our minds, the world creates our minds too. This helps us remember self-compassion and learn new ways to work with our brain. The ultimate truth is that despite the most difficult early experiences, we have the capacity to hold our suffering, and the world also creates environments in which being with this pain if available if we look for that - healthy friendships, community, spiritual groups, nature, and reconnection with ourselves. We know that people can heal. This is our practice. It applies to all of us, not just sensitive people. But it's particularly important if you or someone you know is sensitive. With this practice, as a more sensitive person, we won't be as controlled and reactive due to the overwhelm and sensory overload we may feel, and we'll be more likely to be able to have a sense of being centered and grounded amidst it all, which is a really liberating feeling. We'll have more access to our wild mind. Being highly sensitive comes with a capacity for growth and self-reflection — traits the world really needs right now. So if you identify as sensitive, please continue your practice to build this resilience, to stay on your path and not get derailed by addiction or a false sense of safety or relaxation. This world needs you. What you'll learn:// Why and how sensitivity may have a connection with addiction, along with our genetics.// How epigenetics and environment can affect future generations… positively OR negatively.// How textbooks define addiction and how it shows up in adults who use drugs.// How we can begin to heal ourselves and build resilience as sensitive people Resources:// Episode 2: How to Not Care WHat Other People Think About You // Episode 13: How to Quit Buffering // Episode 15: How to Drink Less // Episode 144: Your Wild Mind - The East and Our Need to Escape // If you're new to the squad, grab the Rebel Buddhist Toolkit I created at RebelBuddhist.com.

In this episode of Father and Joe, they discuss the mystery of life and how it is critical to the faith. They delve into the questions of whether life has purpose and intentionality or if it is just a random occurrence. They explain that every life is a wanted life, intended personally by God. They highlight the importance of parents being intentional and making every act of love, a truly intentional act of love. This meditation is beautiful, and recognizing that life has meaning and purpose is a critical moment for many.  Episode TimeLine:00:00 Understanding Mystery of Life02:00 What is the Meaning of Life?04:31 The Gift of Life06:01 Your Life Has Meaning09:20 The Purpose We All Have13:13 We Can Never Be The Master Over Life17:42 Need for Gratitude and Reverence for Life19:37 Our Need to Share Our Own Pain    The podcast Father and Joe brings us, as individuals, closer to the Holy Spirit and His Church.Seek Peace.

In this episode of Father and Joe, the hosts discuss how the relationships we have, especially with those we are forced to be with, like our children, can impact their growth and development. They explore the question of how to raise the perfect child, acknowledging that there is no single answer, but certain foundational qualities, like love and holiness, are universal. They also delve into the concept of affirming love, as described by Conrad Bars, which involves seeing and reverencing a child's unique goodness and worth without desiring to change or possess them. The hosts recognize the challenges of parenting and emphasize the importance of being present, loving, and supportive. Episode TimeLine:00:00 How to Perfectly Raise a Child02:17 You See What A Huge Gift It Is To Be Parents 05:02 Our Need for Other People is Unsurpassed07:10 Proven Secure Ground that Each Individual Needs to Thrive08:51 Massive Amount Of Space Our Brain Dedicates to Feelings12:11 How To Respond Appropriately in Difficult Times 13:21 We Need Mastery Of Our Own Emotional Maturity18:02 Getting In Touch with Ourselves To Create Growth of Parents and Children19:16 The Immeasurable Damage Caused By Neglect20:10 The Damage Caused By Helicopter and Snow Plow Parenting     The podcast Father and Joe brings us, as individuals, closer to the Holy Spirit and His Church.Seek Peace.

“Our Need for Stopping” Select Scripture

Welcome back to the Front Seat Life podcast, I am Jessica Butts your host. I'm back on Maui and I could not be happier. We're back for the third episode of a mini-series I've renamed How We Got Here and this is the Our Need to “Do” is a Trauma Response episode.We have been talking about how we all got here, how we got to this place of hustling, your journey, my journey, sharing that, and giving you some tools. Our New World, which hit home with a lot of people. I heard from a lot of people about my saying, connection before capitalism, that seemed to really hit home with people.And today is this Our Need to Do. Our need, specifically as women, and that this is our identity. This is a badge of honor. This somehow makes us better. And I'm here to tell you that I'm going through this as well.So, I've been talking about nature and nurture and how our personality type absolutely plays a part in this. The nurture piece is so big, and this is absolutely 1000000% our family of origin. And there's so many of us that are acting out. We are trying to prove ourselves to people, the world, and society. And then there's often a trauma response to our family of origin. And societal norms.These are two very powerful forces.Enjoy this third installment of the new mini-series within the Healing the Hustle Series! And remember, I always love hearing from my listeners. Feel free to reach out to me and of course I would love, love, love a review on iTunes, it helps others find us.

In the moment of salvation, a believer's separation from sinful nature and from any legalistic obligations to obey God's law is known as freedom from the law. This includes the freedom from condemnation and death that comes as a result of faith in Jesus Christ. The law was not evil, but it served as a mirror to reflect a person's condition in their heart. The law was given through grace and truth. Jesus embodied the perfect balance between grace and the law and he came to earth to fulfill the law. Once he established the new covenant, the sacrificial system was done. Now, grace is fully available to us through Jesus Christ. However, there are still people who cling to rules and regulations, believing that they are doing things 'the right way.' Tune in to learn how to prevent self-righteousness and harm to one's relationship with God![00:01 - 03:03] Opening SegmentThank you to our listeners![03:03 - 9:20] Freedom from the Law at the Moment of SalvationBelievers are not under the law but under graceThose who are in Christ are free from condemnationFreedom from the law comes through faith in Jesus[9:21 - 16:51] The Law Points Us to Our Need for SaviorA sacrificial system to cover sinJesus embodied the perfect balance between grace and the lawOnce Jesus established the new covenant, the sacrificial system was overSelf-righteousness arises when people try to live up to standards that are not found in Scripture[15:04 - 22:31] The Purpose of the Law: Grace Isn't A CheckboxThe conflict between grace and the law can arise in five different waysGrace is God's benevolence or mercy on the undeservingWe are freed from the law by his wants for all sacrificeGrace has the power to save that which was previously without the impulse to be godlyBy living by scripture alone through grace alone and faith alone in Christ alone, we are brought into right standing before almighty God[22:33 - 24:22] Closing SegmentFinal wordsQuote/s:"Rather than trust in the law to save us we trust in Christ. We were freed from that bondage of the law by his wants for all sacrifice. And once you have a proper understanding of that you see there really is no conflict between grace and the law Christ fulfilled the law on our behalf.” - Jeff CranstonBible Verses Mentioned:Romans 6:14Galatians 5:1-4Exodus 20Join the ConversationWe love your feedback!
