Podcasts about Outward

The Fathers in the Evergetinos remind us that the measure of our discipleship is often revealed in how we respond to insult and injury. The world teaches us to defend ourselves, to demand justice, to take vengeance so as not to appear weak. But the Gospel calls us to something altogether different, something that cuts against every instinct of pride: to bear wrongs patiently, to forgive from the heart, and to entrust judgment to God. Abba Cassian tells us that meekness is not merely restraining the tongue, but cleansing the heart itself from the remembrance of wrongs. Outward silence while inwardly replaying offenses is no victory. Unless the root of anger is excised, hatred and envy grow unseen. I know this in myself — how quickly I replay words spoken against me, how easily I justify my resentment. Yet God sees these thoughts, hidden to others, as clearly as if they were deeds. The elders of the desert show us another way. Abba Sisoes shocks a brother out of his thirst for revenge by praying that, since the man insists on avenging himself, God need no longer care for him. Abba Silouan alters the Lord's Prayer to expose the truth of the brother's heart: “forgive us not our debts, as we forgive not our debtors.” Their teaching is sharp, but it leaves no room for illusion. If I ask God for mercy, I must extend mercy to my brother, or else my prayer condemns me. The Fathers press us to look at Christ Himself. He endured insult without anger, was silent under reviling, forgave those who crucified Him, and laid down His life for those who sinned against Him. When I see how easily I take offense, how quickly I lash out or withdraw, I realize how little I resemble Him. And yet the call is clear: to follow Christ is to walk His path of forbearance, not simply to admire it from a distance. This is where the path of the Fathers collides with the way of the world. To the secular mind, insult must be answered, wrong must be repaid, and forgiveness is weakness. But in Christ's kingdom, insult becomes an opportunity to share in His meekness, wrongs become the occasion to enter His patience, and forgiveness becomes our share in His Cross. And so I am left with a choice, not abstract but daily, often in small things: Will I bear insult with humility, or will I cling to pride? Will I entrust myself to God's justice, or will I grasp for my own? The Fathers tell me plainly: if I cannot endure the smallest slights, how will I endure greater trials? If I cannot forgive the neighbor who wounds me in words, how can I hope to be known by Christ, who forgave even His executioners? The divine ethos is stark. To love those who hate me. To pray for those who grieve me. To forbear without resentment. To entrust vengeance to God. This is not optional; it is the very mark of one who has died and risen with Christ. --- Text of chat during the group: 00:12:59 Bob Čihák, AZ: P. 281 B 00:14:30 Forrest Cavalier: https://biblehub.com/greek/3954.htm  Translated as Familiarity in Hypothesis 34 book 2, p266 00:19:11 Bob Čihák, AZ: P. 281 B 00:40:05 Bob Čihák, AZ: P. 283 A 00:50:41 Andrew Zakhari: It is amazing how what we would say to each other changes dramatically when we consider directing those same words to God. Prayer exposes our sin and converts us. 01:04:55 Kate : Would the Fathers take a pacifist position?  And would they not accept the Catholic just-war theory? 01:06:37 Catherine Opie: I am always amazed at how apt these readings are. I always get exactly what I need for whatever the inner struggle or circumstance is that is current for me or around me generally as a societal or news event. I have been attacked physically and, to my surprise, my instinct was to fight back like a wild animal. How do we learn to obstruct that survival instinct we have? 01:15:00 Maureen Cunningham: Thank you Blessing 01:15:19 Andrew Adams: Thanks be to God!

Amos 3:1–15 warns against the peril of false security before God. Israel imagined that their heritage, religious practices, and prosperity guaranteed safety, but Amos declared that privilege brings responsibility, and grace creates obligation. God's roar through his prophets revealed that judgement was certain, for his justice is impartial and his warnings are never empty. Outward religion and cultural identity cannot save, and wealth cannot protect. Our only true refuge is found in Christ, who bore the judgement we deserve and rose to grant salvation to all who repent and trust in him. Four truths rise to the surface of the text. 1. God's Grace Creates Godly Obligations (vv. 1–2) 2. God's Warnings Point to Serious Consequences (vv. 3–8) 3. God's Justice is Universally Impartial (vv. 9–12) 4. God's Judgement is Humanly Inescapable (vv. 13–15)

1. Outward religion looks impressive, but produces nothing. 2. Outward religion looks busy, but corrupts worship. 3. Outward religion looks strong, but faces judgement.

The Fathers teach that anger is a form of idolatry. Just as the pagans once bowed before false gods, so too does the man who gives himself to wrath bow before the idol of rage, making himself a slave rather than a disciple of Christ. To renounce anger is to trample down idols and become a bloodless martyr, confessing Christ not with words but with meekness.   The first step in overcoming anger is silence — not speaking when provoked. From this small beginning, grace can bring the soul to tranquility. Abba Moses, once insulted, at first bore it in silence, and later even welcomed humiliation, reproaching himself instead of others. Anger, the elders say, is like a fire that lives on fuel: self-will, pride, contention, the need to be right. If these causes are cut off, the fire goes out; if they are fed, it consumes the heart with remembrance of wrongs and bitterness until the soul is destroyed.   The devil seizes every chance to inflame anger — sometimes over trifles, sometimes under the guise of justice. Yet the one who follows Christ must become a stranger to wrath. The Fathers themselves struggled long: some spent years begging God for freedom from this passion, knowing that controlling the tongue is the doorway to purifying the heart. Outward restraint is not enough; even hidden hatred makes a man a murderer before God. For the Lord searches not only deeds but thoughts, and will judge the secrets of the heart. --- Text of chat during the group: 00:04:58 Catherine Opie: Good evening/morning what page are we currently on? 00:07:04 Bob Čihák, AZ: P 276, G 00:07:46 Catherine Opie: Reacted to "P 276, G" with ❤️ 00:09:28 Anna: He participated in Byzantine Liturgy.

C Mase: There is something to be said for keeping ones mind fixed on ones own repentance. I think that is what Abba-Moses did here. He could have focused on the hurt inflicted on Him but rather focuses on God and on His own repentance. Often it is easy to, when we are wronged, focus on the evil another has done to us. We can especially nowadays with so much evil in the world spend all our time railing about others and turning our eye away from our own vocation.

8/8. Professor Eric Cline categorizes the Minoans (Crete) and Mycenaeans (mainland Greece) as societies that failedthe collapse in After 1177 BC, The Survival of Civilizations. Despite outward vibrancy, they were internally fragile and vulnerable, possibly due to overextension, drought, famine, or internal uprisings. Cline applies IPCC definitions, classifying societies as "transforming," "adapting," or "coping," with the Minoans and Mycenaeans ultimately disappearing completely, illustrating their failure to recover. 1700 BABYLON

Welcome to Wellspring Church!In this week's message, Pastor Katie Gayle continued our journey through the parables of Jesus, looking at the parable of the two sons in Matthew 21. Here, Jesus confronts the religious leaders who struggled to accept His authority and shows that true obedience is revealed not by words, but by repentance and transformed lives.Katie reminded us that the gospel is not about proving our worth through performance or rule-following. Neither son in the parable got it right at first, but the one who repented and turned back to the father displayed the way of righteousness. Repentance leads to fruitfulness—not as something we manufacture, but as the Spirit's work in us.

I cloistered myself in an American yoga ashram (monastery), where Ibegan the formal training of my spiritual learning. After learning simple yetprofound truths that I could not have discovered in the broader society, I leftthe ashram to learn simpler yet profound truths that I could not have learnedthere. I was fortunate to get a job as a resident host in abeautiful YMCA camp at the very lake where the lightning had struck my tentseven years earlier. I followed my path as a music teacher, trumpet player, andcomposer, and while conducting a symphonic work of mine, met my future wife,who was a clarinetist; we married eleven months later. I was hired to teachmusic and yoga at a school for emotionally disturbed children a few miles fromthe YMCA camp and began to teach evening yoga and meditation classes there aswell. My adult yogastudents and I then established the American Yoga Conservatory to teach yoga ona deeper level, free from external Indian cultural trappings. In December 1984,my wife and I learned that we were expecting a child. The Conservatory lost itslease, and I had my first channeled reading by the entity Hemetro, who laterwould reveal himself as one of my three principal guides. I was made aware of mistakes in the structure of my teachingvehicle (the Conservatory) and immediately began the process of releasing thatfrom my life. I traveled to the Soviet Union in May 1985 with 80 other yogis,artists, teachers, actors, authors, and clergy to establish grassroots contactwith Russian counterparts. Upon returning home, I secured a job as a musicteacher in the New York City suburb of Mahwah, New Jersey.Our first child was born that August, and a new chapter ofmy life - that of a father - began in earnest, all the while attempting toserve humanity through music and my love of children.

In today's message, Terry Timm invites us to explore the transformative journey of faith through the lens of Esther's story. He challenges us to consider what we might accomplish for God's kingdom if failure were not an option and we were willing to surrender everything. As we delve into stage five of the critical journey, Terry encourages us to embrace radical trust and courageously step into the outward journey God calls us to.

Outward is going on a little summer break, in the meantime we're leaving you with a delightfully queer episode of Slate's Hit Parade with Chris Molanphy called Mighty Real. This is part two—catch part one in our previous episode. Little Richard was rock ‘n' roll's flamboyant architect. Lesley Gore sang that no one owned her. Sylvester was a gender-fluid icon who helped define disco. Freddie Mercury made rock operatic, and George Michael demanded freedom. What all of these LGBTQ artists had in common was bold hitmaking—and fear of being fully out of the closet. For decades, queer acts topped the charts while cloaking their true identities and paving the way for today's more openly queer stars. For Pride Month, join Chris Molanphy as he traces the hidden history of queer hitmakers on the charts—including those that managed to be both out and No. 1, right up through our modern age of Lil Nas X and Chappell Roan.

In this time of worship and reflection, we were reminded that God looks at the heart, not outward appearances. We considered how our perspective on prophecy and eternal judgment impacts the way we live right now. We reflected on the assurance of our identity in Christ, even when we feel unworthy, and we found encouragement to draw near to God in the face of rejection and pain. Through it all, we were led to fix our eyes on God's love, seek intimacy with Him, and live from a place of surrender and confidence in His view of us.

It's a celebration of these artists' quest to feel… mighty real. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Outward is going on a little summer break, in the meantime we're leaving you with a delightfully queer episode of Slate's Hit Parade with Chris Molanphy: Little Richard was rock ‘n' roll's flamboyant architect. Lesley Gore sang that no one owned her. Sylvester was a gender-fluid icon who helped define disco. Freddie Mercury made rock operatic, and George Michael demanded freedom. What all of these LGBTQ artists had in common was bold hitmaking—and fear of being fully out of the closet.

Being a Gospel servant means following a threefold compass that guides our Christian life: upward devotion to God, inward love for the church, and outward mission to the world. Upward devotion involves giving thanks to God, rejoicing in His work, and praying continually with submission to His will. Inward love means building warm relationships with fellow believers, using spiritual gifts to strengthen others, and seeking mutual encouragement. Outward mission requires recognizing the Gospel as a sacred trust for all people and eagerly sharing Christ across all boundaries. This sermon by Pastor Tim Gibson from Romans 1:8-15 provides clear direction for finding purpose in Christ.

If the members of the ALL had risen to give glory according to the individual powers of each, they would have brought forth a glory that was only a semblance of the Father, who Himself is the ALL. [verse 68] For that reason they were drawn into mutual intermingling union and oneness through the singing of praise. From their assembled Fullness they were one and at the same time many, accurately reflecting the One who Himself is the entirety of the ALL. Out of perfect union with itself and with the Son, and by means of a single shared effort, the ALL gave glory to the Eternal One who had brought it forth. The glory given out of this perfect communion left the ALL perfect and full, as it was perfect and full to begin with, and the object of their glory was also perfect and full. [68, 69]

In this episode we explore the concepts of the inward and outward facing paths. They are presented as different approaches in various traditions that, if pursued to their core, eventually arrive at a direct experience of a unified life. • Includes a guided meditation that extends the ancient neti neti practice of excluding all concepts of what you conceive yourself to be, and then re-including all so-called outer experience, thereby seeing that all is awareness and not separate from your true self. Short phrases to help you get a handle on the inward and outward facing paths:      Nothing you can name or conceive of is awareness. Nothing you could name or conceive of is not awareness.      Meditating with your eyes closed and looking within at awareness, and meditating with your eyes open and looking at the world as awareness.      “Wisdom tells me I am nothing. Love tells me I am everything. And between the two my life flows.” ― Nisargadatta Maharaj The song Jonathan mentioned in this episode is “Impermanence” by John Astin:  https://music.apple.com/us/song/impermanence/72793994 Don't forget to subscribe for more ingenious ways to tap into the ever-present stillness and joy of our true nature.
