Saturday, 27 September 2025   yet he has no root in himself, but endures only for a while. For when tribulation or persecution arises because of the word, immediately he stumbles. Matthew 13:21   “And he has no root in himself, but he is temporary. And having come pressure or persecution through the word, immediately he stumbles” (CG).   In the previous verse, Jesus began to explain the seed cast on rocky places. He continues that with the words, “And he has no root in himself.”   The word was received with joy. However, for one of an almost infinite number of reasons, the person has no root in and of himself. It was not possible because of the circumstances in which he received the message. Like a seed on rocky soil, there is no way to establish a deep and abiding foundation, a root, to sustain himself. Because of this, Jesus continues, saying, “but he is temporary.”   It is a new word, proskairos. It is derived from two words. The first is pros, a word indicating to or toward and thus about, near, against, etc. The context will determine what the intent is. The second word is kairos, an occasion, opportunity, season, etc. It is often translated as “time.” The two words together give the sense of “for the occasion or time only.”   Jesus does not make a charge concerning the character of the individual, as most commentators claim. Rather, He is basing His message on the circumstances in which He exists, meaning as a seed on rocky soil. Because there is no root, He next says, “And having come pressure or persecution through the word.”   There are two new words, thlipsis is the first. It speaks of pressure. Vincent's explains that it is derived from tribulum, the threshing-roller of the Romans. However, it is not referring to the process of separating the corn from the husk, but to the pressure that causes it. As such, he notes as an example “the provision of the old English law, by which those who wilfully refused to plead had heavy weights placed on their breasts, and so were pressed and crushed to death.”   The next new word is diógmos, persecution. It comes from a word signifying to follow after. One can think of a person being hounded. Wherever he goes and whatever he does, he is unable to get free from his pursuers. As such, when pressure or persecution comes to this fellow because of the word he received, he has no roots to endure, and therefore, “immediately he stumbles.”   Without a suitable root to feed him and ensure he can endure the heat of the day, like a sprout that withers, he is offended and falls away.   As noted, Jesus does not speak of the character of the person, but the circumstances of his root. Therefore, a person with a strong character can be just as likely to fail as someone with a lesser character. The root brings in water and nutrients. This is what the word is for. The point is, no matter what, the seed cannot survive without a proper foundation.   This is why weak people who read, know, and apply the word to their lives will last, even when a staunch and hearty person who heard the word and loved its message may fall away. This is exactly the reason why so many commentaries misapply the lesson to be learned.   Be sure to continue reading below. The words will provide additional and invaluable insights into this truth for your walk with the Lord.   Life application: A few examples of incorrect analysis of this verse are cited below. The first is from Cambridge. They say, “Jesus forecasts the persecution of Christians, and the time when ‘the love of many shall wax cold,' ch. Matthew 24:12.”   This is wrong on the surface. Matthew 24 is not speaking of church-age Christian persecution. Jesus is speaking to the Jews about matters that apply to them as a nation. It is true there will be those of Israel who hear the message and believe during the tribulation, but this is the reference. Maintaining proper context is important in understanding Matthew 24.   Albert Barnes says, “Yet they have no root in themselves. They are not true Christians. Their hearts are not changed. They have not seen their guilt and danger, and the true excellency of Christ. They are not ‘really' attached to the gospel; and when they are tried and persecution comes, they fall - as the rootless grain withers before the scorching rays of the noonday sun.”   Barnes has made the error noted above. Jesus is not speaking of the character of a person, though this can be a part of such a matter. He is speaking of the circumstances in which the person received the message. The seed was placed in the wrong spot for it to mature properly.   Whether Jesus is speaking of Israel and their reception of the message or those of the church, the words carry the same truth. The difference is that Israel was under law. Law demands perfect obedience. Without Jesus, that is impossible.   Those in the church are under grace. Grace does not demand performance, but belief. What does Jesus say about this person? He says, “...this, he is, the ‘the word hearing and immediately with joy receiving it.'” What does the gospel say? Jesus gives the basis for it in John 3:16: belief. Paul explains it in detail in his epistles, noting it is based on belief. This person has believed. He received the message with joy. And what is the result of that belief when under grace? Paul says –   “In Him you also trusted, after you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation; in whom also, having believed, you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise, 14 who is the guarantee of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, to the praise of His glory.” Ephesians 1:13, 14   Albert Barnes, et al, failed to consider that the difference is Jesus in how a person is treated. A person can live and die under law, or he can live and die under grace. This is the initial circumstance that must be defined.   However, that circumstance is then further defined by the circumstance of place, meaning where the seed grows. If a person is saved, he is saved (reread Ephesians 1:13, 14 again!). However, if the person who is saved has no church, no copy of the Bible, and no further understanding of his obligations because no one told him, he will have no root to carry him through the pressures and tribulations that arise.   This is why it is so immensely important to feed oneself with the word. In today's world, we can shape the circumstances of our faith by actively feeding ourselves. Passively, the family we are born into may have provided sound soil. The activities at school may provide that as well. Church attendance may (depending on the church) do so also.   Reading the word, meditating on it, and applying it to one's life is the main source of such fertile soil. Pay heed to what feeds you, how you are fed, and the time you spend feeding yourself. Circumstance! Take advantage of the circumstances that you find yourself in. May you grow healthy and in an abundant manner so that you will be able to endure the difficulties of life when you face them.   Heavenly Father, thank You that when we believe the gospel, our salvation is realized. Thank You for the grace of God found in Jesus Christ our Lord. Now, help us to be responsible and pursue that good gift all the days of our lives. Amen and amen.

1. The Experience Machine: How Our Minds Predict and Shape Reality by Andy Clark, presents a groundbreaking theory that our minds are fundamentally "prediction machines" that actively forecast and shape reality, rather than merely passively receiving sensory information. Perception, Clark explains, is a dynamic interplay between the brain's internal expectations and incoming sensory input. This process is so powerful that strong predictions can even lead to "hallucinations," as demonstrated by the "White Christmas" experiment where participants confidently "heard" Bing Crosby's song in pure white noise when they expected it. Clark emphasizes a key physiological insight: information flowing from the brain "downward" towards the senses far outnumbers the sensory information flowing "inward" (a ratio of approximately 4:1). This suggests the brain primarily predicts what it expects to encounter at the sense organs, then adjusts its models based on any "prediction errors" that arise from actual sensory input. This active inference model means that our mind is constantly seeking to minimize these errors, not just by internal adjustments but also by taking actions in the world (e.g., moving for a better view, checking a dog's reaction) to confirm or correct its predictions. Our perceptions are thus deeply rooted in past experiences and project into the future, anticipating the outcomes of our actions. A significant implication of this predictive framework is the concept of the "extended mind," where our cognitive processes are not confined to the skull but extend to incorporate tools (like an iPhone) and even other beings (such as a pet dog like Sailor). The example of MIGO the orangutan using a stick to probe water depth illustrates how animals take actions to reduce uncertainty and error in achieving their goals, similar to how humans use the internet to find movie times. Clark applies this "prediction machine" model to understand various conditions: • Autism Spectrum Condition is characterized by an "overweighting" of sensory information relative to predictions, making it harder to discern faint patterns (like facial gestures) and causing noisy environments to be uncomfortable. • PTSD appears to involve a "very, very strong response to unexpected negative information," where certain brains are more susceptible to this intense reaction following traumatic events. • Depression, a complex condition, is linked to impaired bodily predictions (e.g., misjudging future energy needs) and a diminished "value of positive information," hindering one's ability to improve mood through positive expectations. The book also explores the integration of mind and body, asserting that internal bodily predictions (e.g., heart rate, energy levels) profoundly influence our external perceptions, a phenomenon shown by experiments where false cardiac feedback alters facial perception. Clark extends the notion of sentience beyond humans, arguing that it is widely shared among animals, including dogs, as they also bring predictions to bear on their experiences and learn from their histories. Emotions, rather than being separate brain circuits, are seen as "reflections of the bodily element of the prediction machine in action," acting as "markers" of how successfully the brain is minimizing prediction error. Ultimately, The Experience Machine suggests that by understanding the mind's active, predictive nature, we can better appreciate consciousness, address cognitive challenges, and harness the power of expectation (as seen in the placebo effect) to influence well-being, albeit with clear limits on curing major diseases.

In this message, Pastor Dale ministers on the importance of exercising active faith in order to take possession of all that God has promised us in His Word. Passively "waiting on the Lord" is not enough. We must actively engage in possessing / taking what God has provided to us. In Christ, we have been given dominion. However, it is still our responsibility to take initiative and go after all that is ours by "treading out the territory" and resisting the enemy by knowing, cooperating with, and declaring God's Word.

Episode Type: Fireside Chat Read this audio blog post here. Who men choose to become and how we shape the next generation of rising leaders shapes the type of world we contribute to building. America, and the church inside it, is facing an identity crisis as we wrestle over who we want to become as Christians and as a country and what story we want to tell through the way of life we embody. We have two competing visions shaping men and leaders across our society. One of these visions perpetuates tragedy, while the other minimizes it. We'll start by exploring the latter. #courage #masculinity #leadership #responsibility --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/sharelife/support

There's a great investing option out there, and chances are, it's not in your portfolio.That option is Exchange-Traded Funds or ETFs, and they're worth considering. Brian Mumbert joins us today to discuss the advantages of ETFs.Brian Mumbert is Vice President and Regional Sales Executive at Timothy Plan, an underwriter of Faith & Finance.What is an ETF?An Exchange-Traded Fund (ETF) is an investment option similar to a mutual fund but with distinct features. ETFs typically follow an index, such as the S&P 500 or NASDAQ, and are not actively managed. This means that an ETF holds a broad mix of investments, providing diversification that tracks the chosen index. One key advantage is that ETFs, like stocks, can be traded throughout the day, allowing investors to buy or sell at the current market price.How Do ETFs Differ from Mutual Funds?Unlike mutual funds, where the exact purchase price isn't known until the end of the trading day, ETFs offer real-time pricing. This flexibility allows investors to trade whenever they choose during market hours. Additionally, mutual funds may pass on capital gains taxes to investors due to asset sales by fund managers, but ETFs generally avoid this by trading “baskets” of stocks, potentially reducing tax liability.Transparency and Tax AdvantagesETFs offer high transparency, with daily disclosures of their holdings. This transparency is a significant benefit for investors who prioritize clarity in where their money goes. Tax advantages are another key feature; ETFs often avoid capital gains taxes, which can be passed on to mutual fund holders, especially during high turnover periods.Faith-Based Screening for ETFsTimothy Plan applies the same rigorous faith-based screening to its ETFs as it does to its mutual funds. These screenings filter out companies that conflict with Christian values. While ETFs are passively managed, which can mean a slight delay in removing non-compliant holdings, Timothy Plan flags them for removal to ensure alignment with their mission. This gives investors peace of mind, knowing their ETF investments are held to the same ethical standards as other Timothy Plan products.Lower Cost, Greater AccessibilityETFs offer a lower expense ratio than some mutual funds for investors looking for a cost-effective entry into faith-based investing. This affordability can make ETFs an attractive option for individuals who may be deterred by higher fees and a practical choice for adding diversified exposure to one's portfolio.Visit TimothyPlan.com for more details on Timothy Plan's offerings, including faith-based ETFs and mutual funds. With over 30 years of experience, Timothy Plan provides a reliable option for investors who want to align their finances with their faith.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:I'm 60 years old and want to retire early at 62.

For several years now, a passive real estate investment club has met monthly to discuss and vet hands-off investments. Every month, they go in on a new passive investment together so we can each invest small amounts without becoming a landlord. While they historically focused on syndications, they've increasingly focused on private partnerships. We go in on deals together with smaller investment companies that don't raise capital from the public. Here's what a Co-Investing Club looks for when we explore private partnerships to invest passively in real estate deals.

Brian Davis is a real estate investor, personal finance writer, and co-founder of SparkRental.com with over two decades in the real estate and finance industries. He owns an interest in over 2,000 units, adding more each month in a form of dollar cost averaging. In addition to hosting the Live Off Rents podcast, Brian regularly contributes as a real estate and personal finance expert for BiggerPockets, Inman, Best Ever Real Estate, R.E.tipster and more.  Brian started his career working for a hard money lender, and saw firsthand how investing can build wealth and passive income. He started buying rental properties (albeit without knowing what he was doing), and gradually learned how to do it better.  Today Brian invests passively, going in with other investors on fractional property deals through a real estate investment club. He leaves direct ownership to people who want a real estate side hustle. Along with his wife and daughter, Brian spends most of the year overseas living by his own rules. He loves hiking, cooking, travel, scuba diving, and occasionally surfing (badly). Most of all, he loves showing others how they too can create their ideal lives through investing and lifestyle design. Get in Touch with BrianWebsite: https://sparkrental.com/ Email: brian@sparkrental.com Facebook: Spark RentalInstagram: @sparkrentalX (Twitter): @SparkRentalLinkedIn: SparkRentalTo Connect With UsPlease visit our website www.bonavestcapital.com and click here to leave a rating and written review!

Do you think your podcast would pass the vibe check? And by vibe check, I don't just mean looking cool. I'm talking about whether your ideal listener, seeking new shows without any personal recommendation influencing their decision, will click on your show. Will they play episodes? Will it be a show they become obsessed with?This is the episode, or should I say, the blog post for you if you're interested in incorporating more passive marketing strategies alongside your active marketing strategies to grow your show.Passive Marketing Success: Optimizing Your Podcast Using Your Profile Perception is EverythingYou've heard the saying, "Don't judge a book by its cover." But the reality is, we do. As a business owner, your podcast plays a huge role in how people perceive your brand. Often, when people launch their podcast, they overlook the perception a new listener has when they see their branding for the first time. Oftentimes, we are used to people coming to us because someone else recommended our work.Yet, there is real untapped potential for SEO and appearing in search results. Thus, I want to focus on the elements that most people perceive, not just the vibe. So, if you are a business owner, think about how you present yourself to your community. How does your brand look and feel?A big element we sometimes forget is how people perceive our brand in a quick, snap judgment. The five elements in your profile can be detrimental or beneficial to your brand when done right. Let's explore these elements: the title, cover art, description of the show, episode titles, and episode description.Chapters:00:00 Intro: Passing the Vibe Check00:21 Understanding Passive Marketing Strategies 00:44 Brand Perception and Podcasting01:59 Five Key Elements to Optimize Your Podcast03:46 Crafting Effective Podcast Titles06:38 The Importance of Cover Art09:29 Optimizing Episode Titles and Descriptions13:29 Enhancing Audio Quality for Engagement16:33 Conclusion: Continuous Improvement in PodcastingResources mentioned in this episode:Let's work together to grow your podcast:https://bit.ly/PPodPartyFor the full list of links, resources and show notes, please visit:https://www.thepodcastspace.com/podcast/s2-79-passing-the-vibe-check-passively-marketing-your-podcast-through-platformsSubscribe to the Podcast on Audio Platforms: https://bit.ly/3Y4bF2c Subscribe to our newsletter for more Podcast Tips: https://thepodcastspace.ck.page/32680fa82e

Please join our host, Attorney Mola Bosland, as she interviews Syndication Attorneys' long-time clients Jake Stenziano and Gino Barbaro about their new educational course, "Passive Investing Pro”. They have created this course to help passive investors learn how to protect themselves and their hard-earned investment dollars when evaluating group real estate investment opportunities. Jake and Gino will share with the audience what their passive investing course entails and how it can help ensure an alignment of interests between passive and active investors in syndicated real estate projects.  Common mistakes made by passive investors (00:02:13)One of the biggest mistakes discussed is investing solely based on the sponsor's perceived credibility or popularity, such as having a podcast or writing a book, without verifying their actual track record and performance history with previous investors. The importance of truly knowing, liking, and trusting the sponsor is emphasized, but it is also stressed that passive investors need to go beyond that and conduct thorough due diligence. The three-step framework: Sponsor, Alignment of Interests, and the Deal (00:06:22)Jake and Gino introduce their three-step framework for evaluating passive investment opportunities: 1) The Sponsor (the jockey), 2) Alignment of Interests (the saddle), and 3) The Deal (the horse). They emphasize the importance of thoroughly vetting the sponsor team's experience, track record, and business plan, as well as ensuring that the interests of passive and active investors are aligned. Evaluating the Sponsor (00:13:31)When evaluating the sponsor, Jake and Gino recommend looking beyond just their years of experience and instead focusing on their actual track record and performance history with previous investors. They suggest asking about deals where the sponsor may have lost money and how they handled those situations. Alignment of Interests (00:19:01)Jake and Gino stress the importance of ensuring that the interests of passive and active investors are aligned. This includes understanding the fee structure, verifying that the sponsor has their own capital invested in the deal (skin in the game), and ensuring that the distribution of returns and cashflows is structured in a way that incentivizes the sponsor to perform well on behalf of passive investors.Evaluating the Deal (00:21:10)When evaluating the deal itself, Jake and Gino recommend focusing on factors like the property's vintage and condition, median income of the area, current rents versus market rents and the sponsor's assumptions for rent growth, the quality of the property management company, and the financing terms (e.g., agency debt versus bridge loans). They also suggest requesting the sponsor's underwriting assumptions, rent rolls, and other documentation to verify the deal's viability.Current market conditions and opportunities (00:51:05)Towards the end of the discussion, Gino expresses his belief that the current market conditions present an opportune time for investing in real estate, likening it to the 2010-2011 period following the previous recession. He encourages viewers to tune out the noise and negative sentiment, as he sees opportunities arising over the next 12-24 months for those willing to take a long-term perspective.

It shows us who we are and how we can respond in a way that honors God. For more information, visit lakepointe.church/dailydrive
