The boys drink and review Sierra Nevada's Narwhal Imperial Stout, then discuss the obligation of the government to provide for the poor and how such efforts inevitably degrade into graft, corruption, and abuse -- like what we see in Minneapolis right now. There have always been poor people, and there has always been an obligation to help the less fortunate. In the past, much of that work was done by churches. The big transformation in government-run charity followed the Great Depression, where masses of unemployed men threatened to riot. So-called "welfare" system only got bigger over time, especially under President Johnson. At first, public assistance was just for the elderly, widows, and orphans. Today, an enormous percentage of the population gets some type of government benefit. The trouble is, whenever there's money changing hands, people try to get in on it and put themselves in the middle so they can get their cut. Charity is no exception. Unscrupulous actors find ways to cheat and rob the system. The extent of the cheating, stealing, and fraud is almost beyond belief. But rather than monitoring and preventing it, public officials turn a blind eye. It makes you wonder whether welfare systems are designed to help the poor, or are just slush funds for politicians to bribe their cronies.
In that moment in human history, Jesus the anointed one came to preach the good news to the poor. In His proclamation of the good news, Jesus brought true justice, God's justice. For everyone has the right to hear. As you listen be blessed, empowered and transformed in Jesus name.Send a textFor more information and free resources visit our website jesuslovestheworld.info Also connect with us in discipleship, watch our videos, follow us on facebook or send us an email
Join hosts John Drew and Jim Beard, along with special guest JB Anderton (Doctor Who Gives a F*ck/The Bat 77 podcast), as they tackle one of the most controversial multi-Doctor stories in classic Who history. Production Overview: The hosts discuss the behind-the-scenes details of this 1985 three-part adventure, including how the location shifted from the originally planned New Orleans to Seville, Spain. They explore the challenging filming conditions, including extreme heat that made the production difficult, and discuss how this became Colin Baker's favorite story due to his friendship with Patrick Troughton. Creative Conflicts: The episode examines the tension between writer Robert Holmes and director Peter Moffatt, who had very different visions for the story's tone. The hosts also discuss script editor Eric Saward's influence and his preference for darker, more violent content. The Season 6B Theory: The hosts dive deep into fan theories explaining why the Second Doctor and Jamie appear older and why the Doctor seems to be working for the Time Lords, introducing listeners to the concept of "Season 6B" - the idea that the Second Doctor had adventures between his trial and regeneration. Performance Praise: All three hosts agree that Patrick Troughton delivers an excellent performance, giving the role his full commitment despite the script's issues. Colin Baker also receives praise for his dedication, though the hosts feel the material doesn't serve either Doctor well enough. Major Criticisms: The character of Shockeye and the extended focus on food/cannibalism themes Gratuitous violence including the rat-eating scene Poor pacing that stretches the story beyond its natural length Wasted potential for Jamie's character The controversial ending where the Sixth Doctor kills Shockeye Questionable makeup choices for Troughton's Androgum transformation Tall Sontarans that contradict established lore Historical Context: The hosts note that during the airing of part two, the BBC announced Doctor Who would be "rested" for 18 months, creating controversy among fans. The hosts conclude that while the story began with promise in part one, it devolved significantly by part three, with the violence and Shockeye subplot overwhelming what could have been an engaging multi-Doctor adventure. Coming Up Next: Patreon Exclusive: John and Jim wrap up their look at Colin Baker's Voyager comic story, spin the Memory TARDIS, and dive into the infamous "A Fix with Sontarans" special from Jim'll Fix It. Plus, Jim finally shares his thoughts on the legendary (and infamous) charity single "Doctor in Distress" by Ian Levine and company. Next Main Episode: The hosts continue their Colin Baker journey with "Timelash," joined by special guest Alan J. Porter.

Welcome to The Inner Game of Change. where we explore the thinking that shapes how change really happens. “The single biggest problem in communication is the illusion that it has taken place.” That line from George Bernard Shaw captures the heart of today's conversation.In this episode, I am joined by Dominic Colenso, communication expert, former actor, and author of the bestselling books Impact and Cut Through. Dominic began his career on stage and screen, trained at leading drama institutions, and later brought those performance and storytelling skills into the world of business, where he has spent more than a decade helping leaders and sales professionals communicate with confidence and influence.We explore what it really means to cut through in a world shaped by change, uncertainty, and artificial intelligence. We talk about the shift from selling ideas to serving people, the discipline of rehearsal and reflection, and how clarity, emotion, and energy shape behaviour during high-stakes moments.If you are leading change, presenting ideas, or trying to be heard in a distracted workplace, this conversation will give you practical insights on how to communicate with more presence, purpose, and impact.About“The single biggest problem with communication is the illusion that is has taken place” George Bernard ShawI'm Dominic Colenso, communication expert, and author of the bestselling book “IMPACT: How to be more confident, increase your influence and know what to say under pressure”Straight out of drama school I closed the most important sales conversation of my life through the audition that landed me a leading role in the Hollywood action movie, Thunderbirds.That launched my career as an actor, director, and teacher at some of the UK's most prestigious institutions including The Royal Academy of Dramatic Art. Experience in the rehearsal room, on stage, in front of the camera and behind the lens were the foundation I needed to expand my career into the exciting world of keynote speaking, training and coaching.Over the last decade I've helped hundreds of sales professionals and business leaders transform their ability to influence and make an impact. To take their performance from “straight to video” to “Oscar winning ”.I'll never forget the day my drama school principal called me in and said: “Dahling, we still haven't seen you do anything!” I was crushed, but he was right. I'd been working so hard to impress everyone else that I'd lost sight of who I was.When I rediscovered the courage to be vulnerable, values-driven and visible, everything changed. That's what I want for my audiences now.After earning my bachelor's degree in acting, I gained many years of experience as a working actor, as well as a director, tutor and coach. I'm also a Certified Master NLP Practitioner and Trainer.Communication doesn't always go well. That's usually caused by one or more of the following:1. Lack of confidence2.

Ever wondered how Cannon would fare, having to actually watch multiple little ones and 2 dogs on top of it? Not well. They are pet-sitting 2 puppies and we proceed to watch the kids stuff these poor dogs with lots of cheese, more cheese, and then, cheesy eggs. Poor things. In a follow up to last week's Dig, we explore the IBLP version of finishing school, EXCEL. They have to train all these little ladies on how to grow up and be manipulated and coerced by their authorities. We look at how it evolved, what they were teaching, and get an outsiders view of these girls through a newspaper journalist embedded with them. Joy Branch is the girl you never want to meet.

Welcome to the What's Next! Podcast with Tiffani Bova. I'm thrilled to welcome you back to a series I did with my dear friend, Roger Martin. He's the author of the amazing book, Playing to Win, and together, we're exploring the true meaning of strategy and how it's often misunderstood or misapplied in business today. THIS EPISODE IS PERFECT FOR…CEOs, strategy leaders, and executives who want a clearer, more disciplined way to think about strategy. If you've ever questioned whether your strategy is actually driving customer behavior, this episode is for you. TODAY'S MAIN MESSAGE…in this conversation, Roger revisits the most common ways organizations misunderstand strategy and explains why those misunderstandings persist. He walks through what real strategy requires, why execution often fails even when teams are aligned, and how leaders can move beyond planning frameworks to make decisions that actually lead to winning. KEY TAKEAWAYS… Strategy succeeds only when choices reinforce one another and point toward a clear outcome. Many organizations confuse strategy with planning, which leads to activity without impact. Customer behavior is the ultimate test of whether a strategy is working. Poor strategic outcomes are often the result of incomplete or misaligned choices. Strong strategy requires leaders to be explicit about what they will and will not do. WHAT I LOVE MOST…I love how Roger cuts through the noise and insists that strategy isn't mysterious, it's just demanding. His clarity around choice, discipline, and customer behavior challenges leaders to stop hiding behind complexity and start owning the real decisions required to win.

What's really happening when you delay addressing performance issues on your team? The answer isn't just about one person.
In this episode, we chat with Jeremy Gillis, Director of Capital Markets at Sendero Resources, a junior exploration company focused on unlocking the vast mineral potential in Argentina. We dig into how truly differentiated opportunities are identified at the earliest stages, and why strong marketing can never compensate for weak fundamentals. Jeremy shares why capital structure is often the silent killer of otherwise good projects, why people matter more than rocks in early-stage companies, and why disciplined capital allocation is especially critical for non-cash-flowing explorers. We also explore why Sendero is not just a “closeology” story. From integrated data and system-level thinking to local knowledge, stakeholder alignment, and jurisdictional risk, this is a discussion about mining projects viewed through the lens of operators—not just explorers. We'll talk about balancing discovery upside with a clear path to development and exit, what Sendero is doing differently with data integration, and how experience on the ground changes outcomes. KEY TAKEAWAYS Projects with well-utilised data significantly increase the chances of making successful discoveries, while poor data can lead to misguided efforts and wasted resources. Building relationships with local stakeholders, including governments and communities, can facilitate smoother operations and project advancement. Poor capital structures can hinder growth and lead to significant challenges, especially in a market where every dollar raised must be carefully managed. In the early stages of mining exploration, the expertise and experience of the team are often more critical than the geological potential of the site BEST MOMENTS "In a very crowded market of 1,700 companies, not just being dependent upon metal prices has sort of set us apart." "If you know what to do with data... you are building a pathway to finding something." "The rocks are exceptional. Now, the government... has certainly made strides. There is a mining pedigree there." "If you have an idea... you could waste a lot of money."

In this episode of the Health Fix Podcast, Dr. Jannine Krause sits down with Dr. Jono Taves, a specialist in headache and migraine care, to break down why headaches are rarely "just in your head." Dr. Taves explains how neck mechanics, airway health, breathing patterns, and daily lifestyle choices play a critical role in headache frequency and severity. This conversation dives into often-overlooked root causes like tongue ties, mouth breathing, and lack of movement and why treating headaches requires a personalized, whole-body approach.
What if the biggest risks to your business are happening in markets you are not even watching? In a world more connected than ever, a shift in a supply chain on the other side of the globe can impact your bottom line overnight. Staying ahead requires a new way of thinking. In this episode, Gary Heldt sits down with Daniel Nikic, a Global Investment Specialist and founder of COHRES. They explore why a global perspective is no longer optional for entrepreneurs, how to spot emerging AI and software trends before they become mainstream, and the critical importance of managing risk with confidence in a rapidly changing economic landscape. Daniel shares insights from analyzing over 15,000 companies, revealing how business owners can identify smart opportunities and grow with confidence. - A global mindset is essential for modern entrepreneurs because supply chains and market forces are deeply interconnected across continents. - Successful companies must be willing to pivot their strategies and business models in response to new technologies and market shifts. - Artificial intelligence should be viewed as a powerful tool for research and efficiency, not just an industry, fundamentally changing how businesses operate. - For early-stage companies, building a strong professional network can be more valuable than securing initial investment. - Poor cash flow management and a damaged reputation are two of the most significant red flags that can derail a growing business. - Building and maintaining a strong reputation based on respect and integrity is a long-term asset that is crucial for sustainable success. If you are ready to think bigger about your business strategy and prepare for the opportunities of a globalized future, this conversation will offer a new lens on your growth.

This week on Better Buildings for Humans, host Joe Menchefski sits down with award-winning architect Scott Gustafson of Harley Ellis Devereaux for a fascinating look at the intersection of science, sustainability, and beautiful design. As a leader in the Science and Advanced Manufacturing sector, Scott shares how labs and factories—often overlooked in architectural discourse—can become inspiring, human-centered spaces.From incorporating skylights into precision manufacturing plants to leveraging mass timber for rapid construction and biophilic impact, Scott reveals how even the most technical buildings can promote wellness, retention, and resilience. He also opens up about his love for Scandinavian modernism, his teaching role at Lawrence Technological University, and why architecture should be built to last, not follow trends.This episode is a must-listen for anyone who believes that great design belongs everywhere—even on the factory floor.More About Scott GustafsonScott Gustafson is an architect living and working in the Detroit metro area. He works for HED, an integrated architecture and engineering firm founded in Detroit in the early 1900s.Originally from outside Chicago, Scott studied architecture at Kansas State University from 1994 to 1999. It was his uncle—also an architect and a KSU alumnus—who inspired him to pursue the same path.After earning his degree, Scott gained diverse professional experience by working in Arizona, Colorado, and California. His time with small and medium-sized firms in those states exposed him to a wide range of project types and professional practice styles.Since relocating to Michigan in 2017, Scott has contributed significantly to the architectural community. He has served on the Michigan Board of Architects, taught part-time at Lawrence Technological University, and held leadership roles—including vice-president, president, and past president—in the Huron Valley chapter of the American Institute of Architects. He also served on his local planning commission. Each of these roles has allowed him to apply his architectural skills in meaningful ways that benefit the community.Scott's passion lies in creating buildings and spaces that engage all of the human senses. He believes that since people spend so much of their lives in designed environments, both indoors and out, those spaces should uplift rather than diminish the human experience. Poor lighting, jarring sounds, uncomfortable furniture, unattractive signage, and cheap materials can all erode a person's sense of well-being and dignity. Scott strives to design environments that make people feel comfortable, welcomed, cared for, and loved—spaces where they can do their best work, build meaningful relationships, and feel at peace.He is a registered architect in the states of Arizona, California, and Michigan, as well as in the countries of Denmark, Iceland, and Sweden.Contact:https://hed.co/https://www.instagram.com/hedadvances/https://www.instagram.com/scottmbgustafson/https://www.threads.com/@scottmbgustafsonhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/scottmbgustafson/Where To Find Us:https://bbfhpod.advancedglazings.com/www.advancedglazings.comhttps://www.linkedin.com/company/better-buildings-for-humans-podcastwww.linkedin.com/in/advanced-glazings-ltd-848b4625https://twitter.com/bbfhpodhttps://twitter.com/Solera_Daylighthttps://www.instagram.com/bbfhpod/https://www.instagram.com/advancedglazingsltdhttps://www.facebook.com/AdvancedGlazingsltd
Kyle Clark is at it again, injecting his leftist political bias into purported 'news' stories. While accidentally watching 9 NEWS after the Super Bowl, Dan notices the slant in his 'reporting' on the resignation of Denver Archbishop Samuel J Aquila:"Pope Leo has the potential to shift forty years of conservative politics in the Denver Archdiocese, which has seen three staunchly conservative leaders since the mid 1980s. Pope Leo is continuing Pope Francis's work to guide the Church in a more welcoming, less exclusionary direction with a focus on care for the poor - and immigrants.'

Anxiety often feels like it comes out of nowhere in midlife—especially during perimenopause and after menopause. You're doing “all the right things,” yet your nervous system feels constantly on edge. Racing thoughts. Poor sleep. A sense that something isn't right… but you can't quite name it.In this episode of Asking for a Friend, I'm joined by Dr. Lori Davis, licensed psychologist, clinical instructor at Weill Cornell Medicine, and author of the upcoming workbook This Is Your Anxiety on Menopause. Together, we unpack why anxiety often intensifies in midlife—and what women can actually do about it.Dr. Davis shares both the science and the lived experience behind anxiety, explaining how hormonal shifts, nervous system changes, sleep disruption, perfectionism, and decades of “pushing through” collide in this season of life. We also talk about why anxiety may feel different now than it did earlier in life—and why you are not broken.In this conversation, we cover:Why anxiety often spikes during perimenopause and menopauseWhether menopause causes anxiety or unmasks an existing vulnerabilityThe role of hormones, cortisol, sleep, and the nervous systemWhy worry loops and nighttime anxiety are so commonEvidence-based tools to calm anxiety (including breathing, exposure, and cognitive strategies)When therapy or medication may be helpful—and when lifestyle alone isn't enoughHow to stop fighting anxiety and start working with your nervous systemThis episode is grounding, practical, and deeply validating for women navigating midlife changes. If you've ever thought, “Why am I suddenly anxious when nothing is technically wrong?”—this conversation will help you connect the dots.
Send Jackie A Message!You've invested thousands in certifications. Your classes are incredible. Your teaching is top-notch. So why isn't your revenue reflecting that?Here's the hard truth: being the best teacher won't make you stand out in 2026.As more yoga and Pilates studios open across the country, studio owners are being told they need better quality teachers to compete. But that advice is costing you time, money, and growth. In this episode, Jackie breaks down why your skills as a teacher have nothing to do with your skills as a business owner—and why the best communicator wins, not the best quality.If you're relying on referrals and hoping your amazing classes will do the marketing for you, this episode will shift everything. Jackie shares exactly what it takes to stand out among your competition in 2026: refining your message, becoming more visible, and adding paid advertising into your marketing mix. This is the CEO-level thinking that will help you build a profitable, sustainable studio—not another certification.Timestamped Outline[00:11] Welcome and episode overview: helping you stand out in 2026 [01:45] The viral reel that sparked this episode—why "best quality teachers" advice is wrong [03:20] Jackie's story: How a 300-hour certification didn't increase her revenue at all [05:15] Why being the best teacher doesn't guarantee business growth [06:40] The truth about referrals as a marketing strategy (it's hope, not strategy) [07:28] What it actually means to be a great communicator in 2026 [09:45] The litmus test for your messaging—and why generic language is killing your growth [10:50] Case study: How Mimi Yoga in Miami nails their message [12:15] Why even established 10-20 year studios need to update their messaging now [13:50] The visibility problem: How Club Pilates runs 20,000 ads while you run zero [15:30] Why organic social media and referrals alone won't cut it anymore [16:45] Where to start with paid advertising (Meta and Google—that's it) [18:20] What to do if you're not ready to invest in ads yet [19:15] The equation: Get them in the door first, then quality mattersKey Takeaways✓ The best communicator wins—not the best quality. Your teaching skills have nothing to do with your business skills. If you're relying on your classes to do the marketing for you, you're relying on hope.✓ More certifications won't grow your revenue. Quality matters for retention, but it won't bring people through your door. Poor quality will hurt you, but high quality alone won't guarantee success.✓ Referrals are important—but they're not a strategy. If you're only relying on social media and referrals in 2026, you're going to fall behind your competition.✓ Your message must be transformation-focused, not schedule-focused. If another studio could write your Instagram caption by just swapping out their name, your messaging isn't specific enough.✓ The litmus test: Who are your people becoming?

In this episode, Molly explains why law firm leaders stay stuck in micromanagement and burnout — not because teams don't care, but because unclear communication, missing structure, and lack of training cause breakdowns. She shares a five-reason framework that replaces blame with clarity and shows how systems, deadlines, and accountability turn admin teams into true operational partners. Key Takeaways: Micromanagement fades when leaders replace assumptions with clear, consistent communication and defined processes. Most performance issues trace back to five fixable gaps: unclear expectations, missing skills, absent deadlines, low motivation, or hidden blockers. Structured, face-to-face (or Zoom) meetings create alignment, accountability, and shared ownership of outcomes. CRM and project management tools turn vague conversations into trackable actions with real deadlines. A culture rooted in curiosity—not blame—drives stronger problem-solving, trust, and team cohesion. Quote for the Show: "Telling your employees about this framework turns it into a problem-solving conversation instead of blame, finger-pointing, and drama." - Molly Mcgrath Links: Join our upcoming masterclass: https://thelawfirmleader.com/ Website: https://hiringandempowering.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/hiringandempowering Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/hiringandempowering LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/hiring&empoweringsolutions/ The Law Firm Admin Bootcamp + Academy™ : https://www.lawfirmadminbootcamp.com/ Get Fix My Boss Book: https://amzn.to/3PCeEhk Ways to Tune In: Amazon Music - https://www.amazon.com/Hiring-and-Empowering-Solutions/dp/B08JJSLJ7N Apple Podcast - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/hiring-and-empowering-solutions/id1460184599 Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/3oIfsDDnEDDkcumTCygHDH Stitcher - https://www.stitcher.com/show/hiring-and-empowering-solutions YouTube - https://youtu.be/WyjEXcqORZE

1 John 3:16-18 - God cares deeply for the poor and demands that His people do the same. In this final message of the series, we consider the Apostle John's call to meet the needs of our impoverished brothers and sisters, knowing that this is a test of true love, and knowing that it flows out of the knowledge that Jesus laid down His own life for you. May we become a church that does justice for the poor, because the poor, the same as anyone else, are image bearers of God. A sermon by Cameron Heger. [Part 5 of our series "Images and Neighbors, Every One"] Questions for reflection: 1) How do you relate to the idea from The Brothers Karamazov that people can be easy to love in abstract while a person can be difficult to love practically? 2) How is caring for the needy evidence of "God's love in you"? 3) How does the Bible describe the causes of poverty? How does this differ from other assessments in our culture? 4) In what ways does poverty lead to additional vulnerabilities? 5) Do you think of yourself as one who "has the world's goods"? What might generosity look like for you in these things? 6) Discuss how Jesus becoming poor was part of his plan to save us. How does this motivate our generosity, care, and acts of justice toward others?

Cole delivers his most ambitious and introspective work yet with The Fall Off, his self-proclaimed final album released February 6, 2026. This double album spans 24 tracks across two discs—Disc 29 and Disc 39—each featuring 11 main songs plus a bonus. Presented by Analytic Dreamz on Notorious Mass Effect, this segment breaks down the project's profound narrative structure.Disc 29 captures J. Cole at age 29, returning to his Fayetteville hometown a decade after moving to New York, reflecting on pivotal crossroads in relationships, career dedication, and city roots. Disc 39 shifts to age 39, offering an older, more peaceful perspective on a similar homecoming, shaped by creative renewal following his 2024 resolution with Kendrick Lamar.Nearly eight years after teasing the concept in KOD's "1985," The Fall Off evolves into a full-circle moment from Cole's debut era. Executive produced by J. Cole, Ibrahim “IB” Hamad, T-Minus, and Dreamville, the album maintains minimal features for a self-driven feel, with standout contributions from Future on “Run a Train,” Tems and Erykah Badu on “Bunce Road Blues,” Burna Boy on “Only You,” Westside Gunn on “The Villest,” and others.The rollout emphasized intimacy and scarcity: announced in January 2026, preceded by the Birthday Blizzard '26 EP (four freestyles hosted by DJ Clue on Cole's 41st birthday), and distributed direct-to-consumer via his official website for stronger fan ownership and data control. Selective press included one major interview, while fan-led listening events in homes, record stores, bars, and spaces like Brooklyn Public Library's Bars & Books gathering amplified community engagement over traditional hype.Thematically, subtle nods to the 2024 lyrical tensions appear, notably in the alternate-history track “What If,” imagining reconciliation. Analytic Dreamz explores how this strategic, narrative-first approach reinforces J. Cole's authenticity, prioritizing depth, loyalty, and legacy over mass exposure in today's industry landscape.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/analytic-dreamz-notorious-mass-effect/donationsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
Revelation 2:8-11 (You Will Be Poor, and You Will Be Rich: The Paradox of the Christian Life) - Phil Adams by Park Community Church
Welcome to Day 2792 of Wisdom-Trek. Thank you for joining me. This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to Wisdom. Day 2792 – Wisdom Nuggets – Psalm 109:26-31 – Daily Wisdom Wisdom-Trek Podcast Script - Day 2792 Welcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps! I am Guthrie Chamberlain, and we are on Day two thousand seven hundred ninety-two of our Trek. The Purpose of Wisdom-Trek is to create a legacy of wisdom, to seek out discernment and insights, and to boldly grow where few have chosen to grow before. Wisdom-Trek: The Verdict of Love – Standing at the Right Hand of the Poor. Today, we reach the conclusion of our journey through the valley of betrayal, Psalm One Hundred Nine. We are trekking through the final stanza, verses twenty-six through thirty-one, in the New Living Translation. In our previous trek, we walked through the darkest corridors of this psalm. We heard David's agonizing cry for justice against the enemy who had repaid his love with hatred. We witnessed the "Boomerang of Justice," where David prayed for the very curses his enemy loved to return upon his own head—for his name to be blotted out and his prayers to be counted as sin. We saw David broken, fasting, fading like a shadow, and mocked by the public. It was a scene of utter devastation. But as we arrive at these final six verses, the atmosphere in the courtroom shifts. David has made his case. He has laid out the evidence of his enemy's cruelty and his own innocence. Now, he turns his face fully toward the Judge. In this closing prayer, we move from the Curse to the Confidence. We see the Accuser—the "Satan" at the enemy's right hand—replaced by a greater Advocate. We see David move from the shame of being a byword to the joy of public praise. And we discover that the ultimate answer to slander is not revenge, but Rescue. So, let us stand with David as the verdict is read. Segment one is: The Final Appeal: Save Me by Your Hesed. Psalm One Hundred Nine: verse twenty-six. Help me, O Lord my God! Save me because of your unfailing love. After the torrent of curses and the description of his own misery, David distills his entire request into one simple, desperate cry: "Help me, O Lord my God!" The word "Help" (ozreni) implies active assistance. He is asking God to step into the fray. But notice the basis of his appeal: "Save me because of your unfailing love." Here is our covenant word again: Hesed. This is crucial. David does not say, "Save me because I am innocent," even though he is. He does not say, "Save me because my enemy is wicked," even though he is. He says, "Save me because of Your character." David anchors his salvation in the loyal love of Yahweh. Even when human love is repaid with hatred (verse five), God's love remains constant. This is the bedrock of all true prayer. When we have nothing else to offer—when we are "skin and bones" (verse 24)—we can always appeal to God's nature. "Lord, be who You are. You are the God of Hesed; therefore, save me." The second segment is: The Theology of Vindication: Let Them Know It Was You. Psalm One Hundred Nine: verse twenty-seven. Let them...
