How do we navigate the "mixed bag" of prophecy today? In this message from the Is This Thing On? series, Pastor Travis Aicklen addresses one of the most misunderstood and sometimes misused gifts of the Spirit: prophecy. Travis candidly acknowledges the awkwardness and skepticism many feel toward the prophetic, often born from seeing the gift abused or used to manipulate others. However, he challenges us not to let past negative experiences or "fuzzy details" cause us to reject a genuine and powerful gift from God. By comparing two biblical examples of prophecy, Travis provides a framework for understanding how God speaks, how to test what we hear, and how to embrace the prophetic to build up the church.Key Points & Scripture ReferencesThe Reality of the "Mixed Bag": The church in Corinth was a messy place, and their use of spiritual gifts reflected that. Prophecy, like any gift given to flawed humans, can be misunderstood or misapplied. Just because a gift is sometimes abused doesn't mean it isn't real or valuable. We are called to "earnestly desire spiritual gifts, especially that you may prophesy" (1 Corinthians 14:1).Two Kinds of Prophets: Travis contrasts the prophet Agabus, who accurately foretold a famine and Paul's future imprisonment, with false prophets who use their "gift" for personal gain or manipulation. Agabus demonstrates that true prophecy is a humble, specific revelation from God, meant to prepare and strengthen the church.The Components of Prophecy: A prophetic word consists of three parts: Revelation (what God shows you), Interpretation (what you think it means), and Application (what you should do about it). The revelation is from God, but the interpretation and application are human processes, which is why prophecy must always be tested against Scripture and the wisdom of the community.The Purpose is Edification: According to 1 Corinthians 14:3, the primary purpose of prophecy is not to tell the future or reveal secrets, but to bring "upbuilding and encouragement and consolation" to the church. The one who prophesies "builds up the church". If a "word from God" tears down or manipulates, it is not true prophecy.Embracing the Mystery: We don't have to understand everything about the prophetic to participate in it. Travis encourages us to be open to how God might speak through dreams, pictures, or "props" (like Agabus taking Paul's belt), and to humbly share those impressions with one another.Call to ActionHave you completely closed yourself off to the idea that God might speak to you, or through you, to encourage someone else? This week, ask God to give you an "Agabus moment"—a specific, encouraging word for a friend, a coworker, or a family member. It doesn't have to be dramatic; it could be as simple as, "I feel like God wants you to know..." As we step out in faith, even with "fuzzy details," God can use our tentative words to build up His church. Let's not let the misuse of a gift prevent us from experiencing its true power.Join us Sundays at 8:30am or 10:30am. Find out more at RadiantVisalia.com.

Are you telling the story of what God has done in your life? In this installment of the Is This Thing On? series, guest speaker David Jansson tackles "The Power of Testimony." We often shy away from sharing our stories because they don't seem "dramatic" enough—maybe we didn't have a radical conversion from a life of extreme sin. But David reminds us that the power of a testimony lies not in its drama, but in its truth. Your story, no matter how "ordinary" it may seem, is living proof of God's grace and an essential tool for building up the church.Key Points & Scripture ReferencesThe Command to Tell: Throughout Scripture, from the Old Testament (Deuteronomy 6) to the New (1 John 1), God's people are commanded to tell the stories of His faithfulness. A testimony is simply declaring what we have seen and heard God do.Doctrine and Story Must Align: We need both the map (theology/doctrine) and the stories (testimony). Theology provides the structure, but personal stories provide the lived reality of God's character. They validate and reinforce each other.The Danger of the "Social Imaginary": We live in a culture that tells us a different story—one where God is irrelevant and human reason is supreme. If we aren't actively telling the true story of God's work, the world's false narratives will quickly fill the void.Your Story Matters: You don't need a dramatic "before and after" to have a testimony. If God has given you peace, answered a prayer, or guided you through a difficult season, that is a testimony. Don't withhold your story; it's a vital part of God's work in the world.Overcoming the Hindrances: Pride and fear often keep us silent. We might fear rejection or simply think our story isn't "good enough." David challenges us to cultivate humility, recognize that we are all completely dependent on God's grace, and boldly share our experiences.Call to ActionThis week, intentionally reflect on your own story. What is one specific way God has been faithful to you? It might be a recent answered prayer or a lesson learned years ago. Once you have it, share it. Tell your spouse, your children, or a friend. Don't let your testimony remain unspoken; use your words to build faith and declare God's goodness to those around you.Join us Sundays at 8:30am or 10:30am. Find out more at RadiantVisalia.com.

In this sermon from James 3:1-12, we looked at a warning from James about the power of our words. Throughout this chapter, James uses the "tongue" to represent our speech, and he especially emphasizes the destructive potential our words have. He compares the tongue to a horse’s bridle, a ship’s rudder and a small fire to show that even though the tongue is a small part of our body, it can have huge influence. Additionally, James identifies a problem when we use our words to praise God while at the same time speaking to one another in hurtful ways. Though it is difficult, God calls us in His Word to use our words to give life, encouragement and grace.

God's Airman shares how we must be careful of what we say. Words have power to build up or tear down.

Are your words rushing ahead of your wisdom? In week two of our Is This Thing On? series, Pastor Danny Cantelmi tackles the critical counterpart to the power of speaking blessing: the discipline of how we listen. Drawing on the ancient wisdom of James, Danny challenges our fast-paced, quick-to-respond culture by examining what it truly means to be "quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to anger." This message is a vital gut-check for our relationships, marriages, and daily interactions, revealing how uncontrolled words and the subtle poison of pride can undermine the very lives we're trying to build.Key Points & Scripture ReferencesThe Weight of Our Words: Building on last week's message, we have the immense responsibility and invitation to participate in God's harvest by using our words to bless and build up others. Our words are not passive; they have exponential, active power.The Discipline of Listening: James 1:19-20 urges believers to be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to anger. True listening is an active, engaged posture—not a passive waiting for your turn to talk or a defensive stance.Pride vs. Humility: Being quick to listen cultivates humility, which invites God's grace into our lives (James 4:6). Conversely, pride—whether in the form of arrogance ("I'm better than you") or isolation ("I don't need you")—is the enemy of authentic listening and relationship.The Danger of the Quick Reply: In a world of instant communication, our uncontrolled speech often leads to uncontrolled anger. A failure to listen deeply can result in misrepresentation, hurt feelings, and relational breakdown (Proverbs 13:10, 17:27).The Ultimate Listener: Jesus modeled perfect humility by submitting to the Father, even to the point of death on a cross (Philippians 2:6-13). When we struggle with pride or uncontrolled speech, we look to Christ, who empowers us to walk in humility and grace.Call to ActionHow are you doing with the "quick to listen" command? This week, take a moment to ask a trusted friend or spouse for an honest assessment of your listening skills. Practice the discipline of slowing down your responses, avoiding defensive "quick replies," and intentionally validating the feelings of those around you. If you realize your words have caused damage, don't wait—take the humble step of apologizing and seeking reconciliation today.Join us Sundays at 8:30am or 10:30am.

Your words have more power than you realize. They can build trust or destroy relationships, bring healing or deepen wounds, inspire faith or spread fear. The Bible teaches that the words we speak reveal what's happening in our hearts, and changing your life begins with changing your mouth. If you've ever struggled with anger, gossip, criticism, or saying things you regret, this message will show you God's path toward lasting transformation. In this sermon, Pastor Travis Hearn of Impact Church teaches how a changed heart produces changed words, why our speech matters to God, and how the Holy Spirit can transform the way we speak so our words bring life instead of destruction. In this sermon, you'll learn: Why your words have the power to shape your relationships and your future How to control your tongue before it causes lasting damage What your speech reveals about the condition of your heart Why gossip, slander, lying, and reckless words don't belong in a changed life How to use your words to encourage, heal, and point people toward Jesus What it means to fully consecrate your mouth to God Every conversation is a choice. Every sentence plants a seed. You can leave people wounded or strengthened, discouraged or encouraged, farther from God or closer to Him. When Jesus changes your heart, He changes your words—and changed words have the power to change lives.

What fills your heart will eventually shape your words, and your words have the power to influence the direction of your life. In this service, Pastor Hank teaches from Psalm 19:14, showing how meditating on God's promises instead of past disappointments strengthens your faith and positions you for answered prayer. Be encouraged to speak life, stand on God's Word, and expect Him to do something new!

Is your life operating from a place of blessing, or are you constantly striving to earn it?In the kickoff message of our new summer series, Is This Thing On?, Travis Aicklen dives deep into the profound, exponential power of our words. Far from just a polite cliché or a quick response to a sneeze, a true biblical blessing is the projection of good into the life of another person. By examining the roots of the word—from the Old Testament Barak to the New Testament Eulogia—this sermon challenges us to break free from insecurity, comparison, and the "blessing deficit" that plagues so many families. Discover how to speak life, direct your future, and operate from the secure identity of being fully loved and blessed by God.Key Points & Scripture ReferencesWork From Blessing, Not For It: Before humanity ever accomplished a single task, God created and blessed them. Just like Jesus at his baptism, we are designed to work from a place of blessing and affirmation, rather than striving to earn it. (Genesis 1:27-29)The Danger of the Deficit: The story of Jacob highlights the brokenness and deception that occur when we live with an orphan spirit, desperately trying to scheme our way into receiving a blessing. (Genesis 27)Blessings Must Be Spoken Out Loud: A blessing isn't truly a blessing until it leaves your lips. We must actively and verbally "eulogize" (speak well of) the people in our lives to empower them. (Luke 24, Proverbs 31)Words Direct Our Future: Just like the rudder of a ship, the words we speak—whether blessings or curses—set the trajectory for our lives and the lives of those around us. (James 3)Our Spiritual Inheritance: Through Christ, we have been redeemed from the curse and have already been given every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places. We are blessed to be a blessing. (Ephesians 1, Galatians 3)Call to ActionTake a close inventory of your words this week. Are you withholding encouragement from your spouse, children, friends, or coworkers? Don't let your loved ones live with a blessing deficit. Step into your God-given authority, speak life over your family, and intentionally direct the course of their future with your words. If you are struggling with insecurity or an unhealed "orphan spirit," bring it to God and allow your church family to speak truth and blessing over you today.Join us Sundays at 8:30am or 10:30am.

Proverbs 12:18, 12:22, 16:24, 18:21, Luke 6:45.

Does the language we speak limit the way we feel? In this episode, inspired by a conversation with Lynn Campbell of the Scottish Mushroom Podcast, we dive into the "human lexicon" and explore why having specific words for our experiences is vital for society. We examine the richness of the Scots language, from the cozy warmth of "coorie" to the depressing gloom of a "driech" day, and compare them to concepts in Danish and Ancient Greek. Discover why naming an experience, whether it is bullying or romantic love, is the first step toward understanding, legislating, and making time for it in our busy lives. Finally, we discuss the potential "diminishing" of the English language and the risk that AI-generated communication could strip away the humanity, character, and emotion that make our shared experiences meaningful.

Thursday June 18, 2026III Week After PentecostIn today's episode, Proverbs 18 highlights the power of our words, the value of humility, and the strength found in God and healthy relationships. Solomon reminds us that wisdom begins with listening rather than speaking. A fool delights in expressing opinions instead of seeking understanding, while the wise take time to hear before they respond.One of the chapter's strongest themes is the power of the tongue. Our words can build up or tear down, bring healing or inflict wounds. As Solomon famously writes, “Death and life are in the power of the tongue.” What we say has lasting influence on our relationships, our witness, and even the direction of our own lives.Ultimately, Proverbs 18 teaches that wise living is marked by listening well, speaking carefully, trusting God completely, and investing in relationships that reflect His love and faithfulness.

In this shiur, delivered in "Steve's", Rav Burg explores the moment Klal Yisrael lost Miriam and, along with her, their sense of continuity.Rav Burg delves into why their reaction to a lack of water was truly a displaced expression of grief over Miriam's absence and how finding language for our loss can transform our struggles.When Hashem told Moshe to speak to the rock, it was a lesson for us all: we can give language to the hardest parts of life, approach them tenderly, and discover that those very places become life-giving wells.

In this installment of the Mussar Masterclass on the Gate of Slander, Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe focuses on the practical path to overcoming harmful speech. The Orchot Tzaddikim teaches that someone seeking to repent from gossip, flattery, falsehood, idle chatter, and slander must build a strong protective fence around themselves. The first step is distancing oneself from environments and friendships that normalize negative speech. Just as bad habits are contagious, positive habits are cultivated by surrounding oneself with people who speak words of Torah, wisdom, and fear of Heaven. Lasting change begins with changing one's environment. The episode emphasizes the extraordinary power of silence and intentional speech. Rabbi Wolbe explains that a person who wishes to elevate themselves must reduce unnecessary conversation, increase Torah study, and become mindful of every word they utter. Speech is not merely communication—it is one of the most powerful forces available to a human being. Our words can heal, inspire, encourage, and elevate, or they can destroy relationships, reputations, and even entire communities. The class concludes with a memorable parable about a man who obtained milk from a lioness to heal a king. In a dream, the various organs of the body argued about which was most important, until the tongue demonstrated that it possessed the power to bring either life or death. The lesson echoes King Solomon's famous teaching: "Death and life are in the power of the tongue." Rabbi Wolbe leaves listeners with a powerful reminder that mastering one's speech is among the greatest forms of self-mastery and spiritual growth. _____________This Podcast Series is Generously Underwritten by Peter & Becky BotvinRecorded at TORCH Centre in the Levin Family Studios (B) to a live audience on February 2, 2026, in Houston, Texas.Released as Podcast on June 3, 2026_____________This series on Orchos Tzadikim/Ways of the Righteous is produced in partnership with Hachzek.Join the revolution of daily Mussar study at hachzek.com.We are using the Treasure of Life edition of the Orchos Tzadikkim (Published by Feldheim)_____________Listen, Subscribe & Share: Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/jewish-inspiration-podcast-rabbi-aryeh-wolbe/id1476610783Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4r0KfjMzmCNQbiNaZBCSU7) to stay inspired! Share your questions at aw@torchweb.org or visit torchweb.org for more Torah content.  _____________About the Host:Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe, Director of TORCH in Houston, brings decades of Torah scholarship to guide listeners in applying Jewish wisdom to daily life.  To directly send your questions, comments, and feedback, please email: awolbe@torchweb.org_____________Support Our Mission:Our Mission is Connecting Jews & Judaism.

In this Mussar Masterclass on the Gate of Slander, Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe explores one of Judaism's most transformative principles: judging others favorably. Drawing from Orchot Tzaddikim, he explains that our obligation to judge favorably depends on the character of the individual involved. A righteous person should be given the benefit of the doubt even when circumstances appear questionable. An average person should be judged charitably whenever possible. Most importantly, the way we judge others becomes the standard by which Heaven judges us. When we extend grace to others, Hashem extends grace to us. The episode then shifts to the dangers of revenge, grudges, and public embarrassment. Rabbi Wolbe emphasizes a crucial distinction: we may condemn a person's actions, but we should never define the person by their mistakes. This principle is especially relevant in parenting, where criticizing a child's behavior rather than labeling the child preserves dignity and encourages growth. Our words have the power either to elevate people toward greatness or to push them toward failure. A central theme throughout the class is the power of positive expectations. Through stories ranging from Talmudic teachings to NFL MVP Josh Allen's upbringing, Rabbi Wolbe demonstrates how people often rise to the expectations placed upon them. Parents, teachers, spouses, and friends can profoundly influence others by speaking to their potential rather than their shortcomings.

In this Mussar Masterclass on the Gate of Slander, Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe explores one of Judaism's most transformative principles: judging others favorably. Drawing from Orchot Tzaddikim, he explains that our obligation to judge favorably depends on the character of the individual involved. A righteous person should be given the benefit of the doubt even when circumstances appear questionable. An average person should be judged charitably whenever possible. Most importantly, the way we judge others becomes the standard by which Heaven judges us. When we extend grace to others, Hashem extends grace to us. The episode then shifts to the dangers of revenge, grudges, and public embarrassment. Rabbi Wolbe emphasizes a crucial distinction: we may condemn a person's actions, but we should never define the person by their mistakes. This principle is especially relevant in parenting, where criticizing a child's behavior rather than labeling the child preserves dignity and encourages growth. Our words have the power either to elevate people toward greatness or to push them toward failure. A central theme throughout the class is the power of positive expectations. Through stories ranging from Talmudic teachings to NFL MVP Josh Allen's upbringing, Rabbi Wolbe demonstrates how people often rise to the expectations placed upon them. Parents, teachers, spouses, and friends can profoundly influence others by speaking to their potential rather than their shortcomings. The episode concludes with the famous lesson that the true "elixir of life" is guarding one's tongue. Long life, healthy relationships, and spiritual greatness begin with careful, disciplined speech. _____________This Podcast Series is Generously Underwritten by Peter & Becky BotvinRecorded at TORCH Centre in the Levin Family Studios (B) to a live audience on February 2, 2026, in Houston, Texas.Released as Podcast on June 2, 2026_____________This series on Orchos Tzadikim/Ways of the Righteous is produced in partnership with Hachzek.Join the revolution of daily Mussar study at hachzek.com.We are using the Treasure of Life edition of the Orchos Tzadikkim (Published by Feldheim)_____________Listen, Subscribe & Share: Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/jewish-inspiration-podcast-rabbi-aryeh-wolbe/id1476610783Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4r0KfjMzmCNQbiNaZBCSU7) to stay inspired! Share your questions at aw@torchweb.org or visit torchweb.org for more Torah content.  _____________About the Host:Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe, Director of TORCH in Houston, brings decades of Torah scholarship to guide listeners in applying Jewish wisdom to daily life.  To directly send your questions, comments, and feedback, please email: awolbe@torchweb.org_____________Support Our Mission:Our Mission is Connecting Jews & Judaism.

Do the words you speak matter? The Bible tells us that life and death are in the power of the tongue (Proverbs 18:21). Are you speaking life? Sometimes we use words and phrases that we don't know what they mean or we don't think about what they mean. For example, do you tell your friends “good luck” before a test? Things such as luck, charms, and “knocking on wood” are not Biblical. We have to think about the words we say because our words have a big impact.Let's connect!Follow me on TikTok @givingyourbestlifeJoin me on YouTubeShop my books hereWith gratitude, Stephanie❤️

When we're willing to fully identify ourselves with God, it opens doors for God to move dramatically in and through our lives. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses the spiritual authority our words hold and the power of believing in the truth of Jesus' divinity. He shares the story found in Matthew 8 of the Roman centurion who asked Jesus to heal his servant, and he encourages us to lead with faith boldly for Jesus, too. God is moving in the earth, and He still does miracles. This Easter, let's pray and obey, trusting that God is still at work for His Church and Kingdom today.
