What happens when the worst day of a family's life gets recorded in scripture and read for four thousand years? That's exactly what we find in Genesis 27, a chapter Pastor Rick Keller calls an ugly, honest window into complete family breakdown. Isaac plays favorites with Esau, Rebekah manipulates on behalf of Jacob, Jacob deceives his blind father to steal the blessing meant for his brother, and Esau descends from bitterness into murderous hatred — yet through it all, God's covenant promise marches forward exactly as He said it would back in Genesis 25, that "the older shall serve the younger." We watched Isaac try to short-circuit God's plan with a secret blessing ceremony, Rebekah coach Jacob through an elaborate goat-skin disguise, and poor Isaac's failing senses — sight, taste, smell, touch — all deceived while only his hearing caught the truth he chose to ignore. We traced how Esau's bitterness, born from trading his birthright for a bowl of beans, hardened into a hatred he could never undo, even with tears, because he never truly repented. And we saw the redemption thread running underneath it all: Isaac eventually blesses Jacob rightly, Esau lets go of his grudge decades later, and Jacob himself is transformed from "schemer" into "child of God" after wrestling with the Lord. The abiding question this story leaves us with is simple but piercing: when we're faced with the choice between the good and the greater good, are we listening to the voice of faith, or are we letting our other senses — our feelings, our fears, our impatience — drown out what God has already promised?## Sermon Notes### 1. Setting the Stage: A Family Already Fractured (Genesis 25:23; Genesis 26:34-35)- Chapter 26 ends: Esau's Hittite wives "made life bitter" for Isaac and Rebekah — one letter changes everything- Total communication breakdown: nobody talking to each other, nobody inquiring of the Lord- Background prophecy: God tells Rebekah while pregnant, "the older shall serve the younger" (Gen 25:23)- Esau ("hairy") and Jacob ("heel grabber"/schemer) named prophetically at birth- Birthright = firstborn's inheritance and headship; sold by Esau for a bowl of beans (Gen 25)- Favoritism named directly: Isaac loved Esau (a man's man, hunter, good cook); Rebekah loved Jacob (a homebody)- **We don't have to manipulate what God has already promised — it will happen whether we like it or not**- Cross-reference: Joseph's story — prophesied to rule over his brothers, tried to force it, God had to "burn the pride out" first- Personal illustration: called to pastoring at 12 years old, tried to make it happen, didn't become a pastor until 45 — "when God decides to promote, nobody can stop Him"- 1 Corinthians 3 — "neither he who plants nor he who waters is anything... only God who gives the growth"### 2. The Deception Unfolds (Genesis 27:1-29)- Isaac, thinking he's dying at 135 (lives 40 more years), tries to bless Esau privately instead of publicly as required by custom- Blessing was legally binding — once spoken, could not be rescinded- Rebekah overhears, coaches Jacob: goat meat disguise, Esau's clothes, goat skins on hands and neck- Jacob's concern isn't morality but getting caught — "is there a better plan?"- Rebekah: "let your curse be upon me, my son"- Isaac's senses all deceived except hearing: "the voice is Jacob's, but the hands are Esau's" — he ignores what he hears- **Faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God — yet we prioritize feelings over what the Word says**- Blessing pronounced over Jacob: dew of heaven, fatness of earth, lordship over brothers### 3. The Aftermath: Bitterness Takes Root (Genesis 27:30-41)- Esau returns moments after Jacob leaves — dramatic, almost theatrical timing- Isaac "trembled very violently" — same Hebrew word used of Israel trembling at Mount Sinai — realizing God's plan prevailed through his own scheming- Romans 8:28 — even our failures work together for God's good and glory- Esau's "exceedingly great and bitter cry" — begs for a blessing but the legal blessing is already given- **Generations can pass on blessing, but they can also pass on bitterness**- Hebrews 12:15 — "no root of bitterness springs up and causes trouble" — illustration: bitterness is like a dandelion, impossible to remove without pulling up the root- Progression: favoritism → bitterness → hatred → plot to murder (Gen 27:41, first mention of "hate" in the Bible)- Cross-reference: Matthew 6:24 — same Greek concept, "no one can serve two masters... he will hate the one"### 4. Why Esau, Not Jacob? The Good vs. the Greater Good (Hebrews 12:16-17; Romans 9:10-13)- Hebrews 12:16-17 — Esau "found no chance to repent, though he sought it with tears"- On the surface, Esau looks innocent — he only did what his father asked- Romans 9:10-13 — "Jacob I loved, but Esau I hated" — spoken before either was born or had done anything- Illustration: dove (eternal/God's plan) vs. bowl of beans (temporal) — Esau held God's redemptive plan in his hand and traded it for a meal- **The question isn't good vs. bad — it's good vs. greater good** (examples given: food is good, but fasting for a greater purpose; sex in marriage is good, but perverted outside it becomes destructive)- Esau's heart had "no room for repentance" — sorry he got caught, not sorry for what he did### 5. Rebekah's Final Scheme and the Long Road to Redemption (Genesis 27:42–28:4)- Rebekah sends Jacob away under pretense of protecting him from Esau's fury — but her true stated motive is disgust over Hittite wives, not remorse over her own deception ("I loathe my life... because of the Hittite women")- She never sees Jacob again — he is gone 20 years- Isaac finally blesses Jacob properly and willingly in Genesis 28:3-4, aligning with God's plan instead of fighting it- Hebrews 11:20 — "by faith, Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau... concerning things to come"### 6. Reunion and Transformation (Genesis 32-33, referenced)- Twenty years later, Jacob still scheming — sends flocks, servants, wives ahead of him, hoping to exhaust Esau's "bloodlust" before reaching him- Esau instead has let go of the grudge: "I let all that go a long time ago... that yoke I grew restless and took it off"- Jacob wrestles with the Angel of the Lord (theophany), refuses to let go until blessed, is renamed from "schemer" to "child of God" — walks with a limp the rest of his life- **Even our sin and scheming can't stop God's redemptive plan — but repentance is what changes us**### Practical Applications1. **Examine areas of favoritism** — Reflect this week on whether you show favoritism in your own family and ask God to reveal any blind spots, as Isaac and Rebekah did with their sons.2. **Pull bitterness up by the root** — Identify one specific grudge or hurt you've been nursing and take a concrete step this week (a conversation, a written prayer of release) to deal with it at the root, not just the surface.3. **Choose the greater good over the good** — Name one "bowl of beans" decision in your life right now — a shortcut, a comfort, a compromise — and bring it to God this week, asking Him to help you release it for something eternal.5. **Practice true repentance, not just regret** — This week, instead of just feeling sorry when you fail, specifically name the sin to God and ask Him to change your direction, following Jacob's example after wrestling with God rather than Esau's tearless remorse.5. **Let go of a long-held grudge** — Like Esau did after 20 years, choose this week to release resentment toward someone specific rather than waiting for them to make it right first.6. **Trust God's timing over manipulation** — If you're anxious about a promise, calling, or promotion you believe God has spoken over your life, resist the urge to force or manipulate it this week; instead pray and wait as an act of faith.### Discussion Questions1. In the sermon, Pastor Rick pointed out that "nobody inquires of the Lord" throughout this entire chapter. Where in your own life do you tend to scheme or take matters into your own hands instead of asking God first?2. Rick described Isaac's senses being deceived one by one — sight, taste, smell, touch — while only his hearing told him the truth, which he ignored. Where do you find yourself trusting your feelings over what you know God's Word says?3. The sermon contrasted "the good" (the bowl of beans) with "the greater good" (the eternal blessing). What is a "bowl of beans" in your life right now — something good that you're prioritizing over something greater God is offering?4. Esau wept bitterly but, according to Hebrews 12:17, found no place for repentance. What's the difference between being sorry you got caught and truly repenting, and how have you experienced that difference?5. Rick said bitterness, like a dandelion, has to be pulled out by the root or it comes right back. Is there a root of bitterness in your life or family history that keeps resurfacing, and what would it look like to actually deal with it?6. Jacob was transformed from "schemer" to "child of God" only after wrestling with the Lord and coming away changed, even wounded. What might it look like for our group to support each other through a similar season of wrestling with God this year?

Sunday Edition Presents: THE PRACTICE OF HAPPY CONVERSATION FOUR PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS Over the past four weeks, The Practice of Happy has explored happiness from several different directions. What is happiness? How do we recognize it? How can happiness exist alongside grief, anger, frustration, fear, disappointment, joy, hope, excitement and everything else that makes up a full emotional life? How do relationships, expectations, outside influences, internal reactions and the voices in our own heads shape the way we experience a moment? And perhaps most importantly, what do we actually do with all of that? In this final conversation, we move from discussion into practice. ❤️

Drop us a message! We'd love to hear from you.Bad design gets noticed instantly. Good design fades into the background.  In this episode, host Matt Pierce is joined by Melissa Milloway (Mel). With over 15 years' experience in Instructional Design, Mel now uses her expertise to build teams that design learning for tech. She talks about how heavily visual choices influence what a learner takes away from an experience. Mel breaks down how she decides what earns a place on the screen, the small details that shape a learners' focus, and how skill cannot be built on theory alone.  She also explains how she uses AI to speed up production without losing realism and previews a project that she is currently working on for the upcoming DevLearn Conference.  Learning points from the episode include:  Every visual choice should be intentional. If you can't explain why something's on the screen, Mel says it probably shouldn't be there. Spacing isn't just aesthetic. Mel points to an existing UX concept called the ‘BFFs of spacing', which explains how visual elements placed close together read as related, while elements placed further apart read as unrelated. This is often the case whether you intend it to be or not. Realistic practice, like Mel's 911 dispatcher training scenario, works because it closely mirrors the pressure and ambiguity of the real situation, so the actual moment isn't a surprise when it happens. Important links and mentions: Connect with Melissa Milloway on LinkedInMel's upcoming book, "Getting Unstuck in Learning Design" (available for pre-order, out February)

What a beautiful story of faith and legacy unfolds in Genesis 25, a passage that resonates deeply with our current journey as a church. As we reflect on Abraham's life, which spanned 175 years, we see a man who, despite his age, continued to have a profound impact on his family and future generations. Abraham's death, as described in verses 7-10, marks the passing of a patriarch who lived a long and full life, and who was laid to rest with dignity and honor. The reunion of Isaac and Ishmael to bury their father together, as mentioned in verse 9, is a poignant moment that underscores the power of reconciliation and the importance of family unity.The narrative then shifts to Isaac and Rebecca, who, after 20 years of waiting, finally conceive twins, Esau and Jacob. This moment is a testament to God's faithfulness and the importance of prayer, as Isaac and Rebecca's persistence in seeking God's will led to the fulfillment of His promise. The story of Esau selling his birthright for a bowl of stew in desperation highlights the dangers of trading long-term blessings for immediate gratification. This serves as a powerful reminder for us to prioritize our spiritual and eternal well-being over fleeting desires.Transparency from one generation to the next is a crucial theme in this passage. Abraham's experiences, including the near-sacrifice of Isaac, likely shaped his teachings and the way he passed down his faith to his children and grandchildren. This transparency allowed Isaac and Rebecca to learn from Abraham's journey and to trust in God's provision even in times of uncertainty.As we conclude, let us reflect on the three key takeaways from this chapter: the importance of transparency in sharing our faith journeys with the next generation, the need to seek God's guidance in times of confusion, and the danger of trading eternal blessings for temporary satisfaction. May we be transparent with our loved ones about our struggles and triumphs, trusting in God's faithfulness and seeking His wisdom in every decision. May we also resist the temptation to prioritize immediate desires over eternal blessings, remembering that God's promises remain steadfast and true. As our church embarks on this new journey, let us remember that this is not just for us, but for generations to come, and may we build with the same faith and vision that guided Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.## Sermon Notes — Genesis 25**Big Idea:** Transparency and faithfulness are essential for passing down God's promises from one generation to the next.### 1. Transparency from One Generation to the Next (Genesis 25:1-18)- Abraham and Isaac's experiences and failures passed down to the next generation.- Abraham's interaction with Isaac and Esau teaches the importance of transparency.- **Key principle:** Be transparent with the next generation about both successes and failures.### 2. Ask the Lord When You Don't Understand (Genesis 25:19-23)- Isaac and Rebecca's barrenness and the promise of children.- Rebecca's struggle and seeking God's guidance.- **Key principle:** When facing uncertainty, seek God's guidance and surround yourself with biblical counsel.### 3. Don't Trade Eternal Things for Immediate Satisfaction (Genesis 25:29-34)- Esau's trade of birthright for a bowl of stew.- The importance of not trading eternal promises for temporary satisfaction.- **Key principle:** Do not prioritize immediate desires over eternal promises and God's faithfulness.### Practical Applications1. **Be transparent with your children** — share both your successes and failures with them this week.2. **Seek God's guidance when you're uncertain** — pray about a specific issue and ask for biblical counsel.3. **Evaluate your priorities** — identify one area where you might be trading eternal things for immediate satisfaction and pray about it.4. **Pray for God's provision** — pray for the needs of the church and community, trusting in God's faithfulness.### Discussion Questions1. How do you handle transparency with your children or mentees? What are some struggles you've had in being open with them?2. Can you recall a time when you sought God's guidance in a moment of uncertainty? What was the outcome?3. What are some areas in your life where you might be tempted to trade eternal promises for immediate satisfaction?4. How can we as a church ensure that we are passing down God's promises faithfully to future generations?5. What role does transparency play in building trust within a community or family?*"We all have something that looks good right now before us. We all have something that promises satisfaction right now, something that says, 'I don't have to worry about tomorrow. Don't worry about what God said. Don't worry about what this might cost you. You want this now.'"*

Genesis 24 is one of the most richly layered stories in all of Scripture, and once we see the deeper picture it paints, it becomes impossible to read it the same way again. On the surface, it is the story of a faithful servant sent on a long journey to find a bride for his master's son. But beneath that, it is nothing less than a portrait of redemption itself. The unnamed servant mirrors the role of the Holy Spirit, who never draws attention to himself but points always toward the Son. The father who sends him reflects God the Father. And Isaac, waiting at home, represents Christ. Every detail, from the servant's humble prayer at the well to the extravagant gifts he carries, speaks to the lengths God goes to in pursuit of his bride. That bride, it turns out, is us. We are Rebekah in this story. And understanding that changes everything about how we see our worth, our calling, and the love God has lavished on us.## Sermon Notes: Genesis 24 — “I Will Go”### Main Text: Genesis 24  Genesis 24 tells the story of Abraham sending his servant to find a bride for Isaac. Pastor Rick presented this as a picture of God's redemptive plan.### 1. The Redemptive Picture in Genesis 22–24- **Genesis 22:** Abraham offers Isaac on Mount Moriah, pointing to the Father giving His Son, Jesus, at Calvary.- **Genesis 23:** Sarah dies, picturing Israel as the bride connected to the Father.- **Genesis 24:** The unnamed servant is sent to find a bride for the son, picturing the Holy Spirit calling the Church, the Bride of Christ.### 2. Abraham's Servant: Faithful and Humble- The servant is likely Eliezer, Abraham's longtime servant.- Though Isaac's birth cost him the inheritance, he remained faithful.- He does not seek attention for himself; he seeks success for his master.- This reflects the Holy Spirit, who testifies of Christ and glorifies the Son.### 3. Isaac Must Not Go Back- Abraham commands the servant not to take Isaac back to Abraham's former land.- God had promised the land to Abraham's offspring.- The bride must choose to come, but the son will not return to the old land.- This mirrors the call of Christ: “Forsake all and follow Me.”### 4. Rebekah's Choice- The servant prays for a clear sign: a woman who offers him water and waters his camels.- Before he finishes praying, Rebekah appears.- She is generous, diligent, and willing to serve.- Watering ten camels could have required 200–300 gallons of water.- The servant recognizes God's guidance and worships.### 5. “Do Not Delay Me”- Rebekah's family wants her to stay ten more days.- The servant insists that if God has prospered the way, they should not delay.- Rebekah is asked directly, and she responds: **“I will go.”**- This is the heart of the sermon: when God calls, our answer should be immediate obedience.### 6. We Are Rebekah- Rebekah represents the Bride of Christ.- The Holy Spirit calls us and gives us gifts as a preview of what is to come.- God sees His people as beautiful, loved, and chosen.- The story points forward to the marriage supper of the Lamb.## Practical Applications- Do not delay obedience when the Holy Spirit calls.- Stop looking back after putting your hand to the plow.- Serve faithfully even when there is no personal reward.- Trust God's guidance, even when the journey is long.- Remember: in Christ, God sees you as His beloved bride, not as your failures.## Discussion Questions1. What stood out to you most from the picture of Abraham, Isaac, the servant, and Rebekah?2. Why is delayed obedience so tempting?3. What does Rebekah's “I will go” teach us about faith?4. In what area might God be asking you to stop delaying?5. How does seeing yourself as the Bride of Christ change the way you view God's love?

# Genesis 12–23: The God Who Provides## SummaryGenesis 12–23 marks a major shift in the biblical story. God calls Abram into a personal relationship and promises him land, descendants, and a blessing that will reach all nations.Abraham responds in faith, but his journey is not perfect. He struggles with fear, makes poor decisions, and sometimes tries to accomplish God's promises in his own way. Still, God remains faithful.In Genesis 15, God confirms His covenant by passing alone through the divided animals, showing that the promise rests on His faithfulness, not Abraham's perfection.God eventually gives Abraham and Sarah the son He promised, Isaac. Then in Genesis 22, Abraham is tested when God asks him to offer Isaac. Abraham obeys, trusting God to provide. At the last moment, God provides a ram in Isaac's place, and Abraham names the place “The Lord Will Provide.”Abraham's story reminds us that God desires relationship with us, remains faithful through our failures, and provides even when we cannot see how.**Big Idea:** Trust God, obey Him, and believe that He will provide.## Sermon Notes### 1. God Calls Abraham**Genesis 12:1–3**God calls Abraham to leave everything familiar and follow Him into the unknown.**Key Principle:** God desires a relationship with you, not just religious activity.### 2. Abraham's Faith Is Imperfect**Genesis 12:10–20**Abraham trusts God, but fear still causes him to make bad decisions, including lying about Sarah.**Key Principle:** Your weaknesses do not automatically disqualify you from what God is calling you to do.### 3. Abraham Chooses Trust**Genesis 13:1–18**Abraham lets Lot choose the land first. Lot chooses by sight, while Abraham trusts God with what remains.**Key Principle:** Choose by trust, not simply by appearance.### 4. Abraham Rescues Lot**Genesis 14:1–24**Abraham rescues Lot, meets Melchizedek, gives him a tenth, and refuses the king of Sodom's wealth.**Key Principle:** Live in a way that makes God's faithfulness visible.### 5. God Makes a Covenant**Genesis 15:1–21**God promises Abraham descendants as numerous as the stars. God alone passes through the covenant pieces.**Key Principle:** God's promises depend on His faithfulness, not our perfection.### 6. Abraham Tries to Rush God's Plan**Genesis 16–17**Abraham and Sarah try to produce God's promise through Hagar. Their shortcut creates pain, but God does not abandon them.**Key Principle:** God's timing is better than our shortcuts.### 7. God Provides Isaac**Genesis 21**After years of waiting, Sarah gives birth to Isaac.**Key Principle:** Waiting does not mean God has forgotten.### 8. The Lord Will Provide**Genesis 22**God tests Abraham by asking him to offer Isaac. Abraham obeys, trusting that God will remain faithful.At the last moment, God provides a ram in Isaac's place. Abraham names the place “The Lord Will Provide.”This points forward to the greater sacrifice God would provide through Jesus.**Key Principle:** We can trust God's provision even when we cannot see it yet.## Practical Applications1. **Take the next step of obedience.** What is one thing God has been asking you to do?2. **Stop forcing God's timing.** Identify one area where you are trying to control the outcome and surrender it to Him.3. **Choose trust over appearances.** Make decisions based on God's character, not simply what looks easiest or best.4. **Give God the credit.** Recognize where He has provided, opened doors, or carried you.5. **Prioritize your relationship with God.** Set aside intentional time this week for prayer, Scripture, and worship.6. **Lay down what you are carrying.** Give God the fear, burden, or uncertainty you have been trying to manage yourself.## Discussion Questions1. Where do you see Abraham growing in trust throughout these chapters?2. In what area of your life is it hardest to trust God's timing?3. Have you ever tried to force something instead of waiting on God?4. What does Genesis 22 teach us about obedience and trust?5. Where have you seen God provide in an unexpected way?6. What is one practical step of obedience God may be asking you to take?7. What burden do you need to surrender to God this week?> **“The Lord will provide.” — Genesis 22:14**

In this interview, a throwdown between Aristotelian and Platonic philosophy of personal growth, with Steve Barton, a Gestalt psychology-trained High-Performance Executive Coach, and he's the author of The Father, the Son, and the Aha Moment--which I read as I'm a new-ish dad. The book, which is really about mindset, has some good insights, but I disagreed with a few of its fundamental suppositions. It's a bit too Platonic for my tastes, but I invited Steve on the podcast for a bit of friendly disagreement...04:20 The Game of Ten: Foundations and Philosophy08:19 Radical Self-Acceptance and Divine Consciousness13:11 Boundaries, Agreements, and Relationship Dynamics19:55 Genetic Predispositions and Self-Awareness24:46 Biohacking and Emotional Resilience Strategies33:52 Case Study: PTSD and Contracting with Self41:13 The Power of Forgiveness and Letting Go50:58 Unconditional Love, Boundaries, and Self-Protection01:00:27 The Role of Brain Training and Biohacking01:10:04 Practical Applications and Client Success Stories01:14:59 Final Message for Future GenerationsFor everything mentioned here, read: Aristotelian vs Platonic Personal Growth

Today, we embark on a journey through the first 11 chapters of Genesis, a foundational text that sets the stage for the entire Bible. These chapters cover 2,000 years of recorded history, from the creation of the universe to the scattering of humanity at the Tower of Babel. The opening verse, "In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth," encapsulates the essence of our Creator's omnipotence and omniscience. This simple statement introduces us to the concept of God as the sole architect of all that exists, a being who is outside of time and space, and who has the ability to conduct vast amounts of information in just a few words.As we delve into the creation story, we see the unfolding of God's plan, from the creation of the heavens and the earth to the formation of Adam and Eve. Genesis 2 details the creation of humanity, with God breathing life into Adam and crafting Eve from his rib. This act establishes the foundation of marriage and gender, setting the stage for the covenant relationship between God and humanity. The story then takes a tragic turn in Genesis 3, where Adam and Eve's disobedience leads to the fall of humanity and the introduction of sin into the world. This event has far-reaching consequences, affecting not only humanity but all of creation.The narrative then moves to the story of Cain and Abel, illustrating the destructive nature of sin. Cain's jealousy and anger lead to the first murder, a stark reminder of the power of sin to corrupt the human heart. This leads us into the catastrophic events of the flood, where God's judgment falls upon a world consumed by wickedness. Noah, a preacher of righteousness, builds an ark and saves his family and a remnant of animals, a testament to God's grace and mercy.After the flood, humanity attempts to establish its own order at the Tower of Babel, defying God's command to spread across the earth. God responds by confusing their language and scattering them, a pivotal moment that shapes the diversity of languages and nations we see today. This event underscores the importance of obedience to God's will and the consequences of human pride.As we conclude this overview, we are reminded of the cyclical nature of human history and the need for vigilance. Jesus warns us in Matthew 24 that the days before his return will be like the days of Noah, where life continues as usual until the flood comes. We are called to be awake, aware, and ready for his return, living in a world that increasingly mirrors the pre-Babel era, with technology and global interconnectedness reaching unprecedented levels. The day of the Lord is approaching, and we must remain steadfast in our faith, trusting in God's plan and his promise to return.## Sermon Notes — Genesis 1:1-11:9**Big Idea:** Genesis 1-11 lays the foundation for all of biblical theology, covering creation, the fall, and the flood.### 1. Creation (Genesis 1:1-2:3)- God created the heavens and the earth.- Genesis 1:1-2:3 describes the creation of the universe and humanity.- **Key principle:** God is the creator and sustainer of all things.### 2. Foundation of Marriage and Gender (Genesis 2:4-25)- God created Adam and Eve.- Marriage and gender roles are established by God.- **Key principle:** God determines the rules for marriage and gender.### 3. The Fall (Genesis 3:1-24)- Adam and Eve disobey God, leading to sin and death.- Satan's deception and the first prophecy of redemption.- **Key principle:** Sin has universal consequences, but God provides a way of redemption.### 4. The Spread of Sin (Genesis 4:1-26)- Cain and Abel's offerings and the first murder.- Sin leads to further disobedience and violence.- **Key principle:** Sin crouches at the door, but we must rule over it.### 5. The Flood (Genesis 6:1-9:17)- Humanity's wickedness and God's decision to flood the earth.- Noah's obedience and the ark.- **Key principle:** God's covenant with Noah and the rainbow as a sign.### 6. Dispersion of Nations (Genesis 10-11)- The Table of Nations and the Tower of Babel.- God's intervention to scatter humanity.- **Key principle:** God's plan to divide humanity into nations.### Practical Applications1. **Study the Bible** — Commit to reading and studying Genesis to understand the foundation of God's plan.2. **Guard against sin** — Be vigilant and rule over sin in your life, remembering its consequences.3. **Follow God's commands** — Like Noah, be obedient to God's commands and trust in His promises.4. **Be aware of the signs** — Stay alert and aware of the signs of the times, as Jesus taught.### Discussion Questions1. How does understanding the creation account in Genesis 1-2 affect your view of God's sovereignty and purpose?2. In what ways do you see the effects of sin in your daily life and community?3. How can we learn from Noah's obedience and apply it to our own lives today?4. What does the story of the Tower of Babel reveal about human pride and rebellion against God?5. How does the current global situation compare to the times of Noah and Babel, and what does this mean for us today?*"The day of the Lord is coming closer and closer, and the further humanity pushes into this idea that we need to be like God or cast Him down, we're getting very close to His return."*

In Part 2 of "Sing High, Sing Low," we dive deep into the transformative science of singing and why this ancient human practice is one of your most powerful tools for mental health, nervous system regulation, and authentic human connection. What happens when you sing? Your vagus nerve activates. Your parasympathetic nervous system (your body's built-in calm system) engages. Stress hormones like cortisol drop. Feel-good hormones like oxytocin, serotonin, dopamine, and endorphins surge. And if you're singing with others? The bonding response is measurable and immediate. Fiona, a singing facilitator and vocal advocate for reclaiming this lost practice, joins us to explore: — How singing activates vagal tone and parasympathetic nervous system regulation— Why group singing creates deeper human connection than conversation alone— The hormonal cascade of group singing: oxytocin, serotonin, dopamine, cortisol reduction— How to use your voice as your personal stress-relief and wellness tool (it's free, it's always accessible)— Voice shame, choir culture, and why so many of us stopped singing— Why singing isn't an art form—it's a fundamental human practice— Practical applications: corporate team building, community connection, personal mental health— How singing can regulate both your nervous system and the nervous systems of people around you This episode challenges the myth that only "good singers" deserve to sing and reveals how singing is your personal wellness toolkit for anxiety, stress relief, belonging, and meaningful human connection. If you've ever felt too self-conscious to sing, if you're looking for practical nervous system regulation tools, if you want to understand the science of what group singing actually does to human beings—this conversation is for you. Listen and discover why your voice has been waiting for you all long.GUEST: Fiona | Singing Facilitator, Vocal Advocate→ Instagram: @singhighsinglow→ Upcoming Book: "All Children Sing Until They're Told Not To" (September)→ Offers: Singing groups in Sydney, corporate workshops, one-off sessions HOST: Anthony Hartcher | Clinical Nutritionist, Lifestyle Medicine Specialist, Science Educator SHOW: Me & My Health Up PodcastPractical conversations at the intersection of nutrition, lifestyle medicine, science education, and joyful wellbeing. TOPICS COVERED:Vagal tone • Vagus nerve activation • Nervous system health • Parasympathetic nervous system • Parasympathetic activation • Nervous system regulation • Singing benefits • Mental health • Emotional wellbeing • Anxiety management • Stress relief • Oxytocin • Serotonin • Dopamine • Endorphins • Cortisol reduction • Group singing • Human connection • Community • Belonging • Voice shame • Inclusive wellness • Corporate team building • Wellness tools • Holistic health • Lifestyle medicine • Mental wellness CHAPTERS/TIMESTAMPS: 00:00 - Intro & Overview00:45 - What is a Singing Facilitator?

This morning, we are reminded of the faithfulness of God, not just in the broader narrative of scripture, but in the very real and tangible growth of our church, Hope Church. Over the past couple of years, we've seen rapid growth, especially since moving into our current building, and with that came the challenge of accommodating more people. We've wrestled with this tension, and last year, we approached the owners of our building with the idea of buying the whole property. Though they weren't ready to sell, they offered us the opportunity to dream and explore expansion. This led us to a surprising turn of events: a man knocked on our door, offering a piece of land across from Daniel Boone High School that we had tried to purchase years ago. As of this weekend, we have this 20-acre property under contract, a testament to God's faithfulness and provision.Today, we delve into Romans 12:1-2, where we are called to present our bodies as living sacrifices and to be transformed by the renewing of our minds. Rick explores the will of God through four aspects: the permissive, prudential, progressive, and perfect wills. The permissive will allows for human choice, even when it goes against God's desires, while the prudential will involves decisions where God expects wisdom and discernment. The progressive will reveals itself step by step, teaching us to walk with faith, and the perfect will aims for us to conform to the image of Christ, reflecting His love, joy, and peace. God's will is always good, acceptable, and perfect, and He desires for us to align our lives with His purposes. As we navigate the future of our church and our personal lives, we are called to trust God's faithfulness, even when the path ahead is unclear. The Holy Spirit is always faithful, never forcing our will but persistently guiding us towards His perfect will. We are encouraged to take one step at a time, trusting that God has a good plan for our lives. Will you follow where He leads, knowing that He is always faithful?## Sermon Notes — Romans 12:1-2**Big Idea:** The Holy Spirit guides us into God's will through various aspects, teaching us to walk with Him progressively.### 1. Permissive Will of God (Romans 12:1-2)- God allows wide range of choices, even sinful ones.- Israel's disobedience in the wilderness is an example.- **Key principle:** God's permissive will means He allows human choices while setting boundaries and directing history toward His ultimate purpose.### 2. Prudential Will of God (Romans 12:1-2)- Decisions for which Scripture gives no direct command.- Use wisdom, prayer, and discernment.- Examples: Choosing a college, buying a house.- **Key principle:** Use your brain and discernment in making decisions God hasn't explicitly commanded.### 3. Progressive Will of God (Romans 12:1-2)- God reveals His will progressively.- He gives enough light for the next step, not the full picture.- Takes faith to follow each step.- **Key principle:** God teaches us to walk with Him through faith, revealing His will step-by-step.### 4. Perfect Will of God (Romans 12:1-2)- God's complete will for us is to conform into the image of His son.- His will is good, acceptable, and perfect.- **Key principle:** God's perfect will for us is to reflect Jesus' character and be equipped for every good work.### Practical Applications1. **Obey what is already clear** — Identify and follow God's clear commands in Scripture.2. **Take a step of faith** — Move forward with what God has revealed, trusting Him for the next step.3. **Yield to correction** — Be open to God's redirection and correction.4. **Trust God with what is hidden** — Have faith that God knows the full plan even when we don't.5. **Align your life with God's will** — Make choices that reflect God's good, acceptable, and perfect will.### Discussion Questions1. How do you discern between God's permissive will and His perfect will in your life?2. Can you share a time when God revealed His will progressively in your life? How did you respond?3. What steps can you take this week to align more closely with God's will for your life?4. How does God's progressive will require faith and trust in Him?5. What does it mean to you to conform into the image of Jesus, and how can you do this more in your daily life?

How many of us have started something with great enthusiasm only to lose motivation along the way? This morning, we explore Philippians 1:6, where the Apostle Paul assures us that God is faithful to finish what He starts. Paul's statement, "And I am sure of this that he who began a good work in you will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ," is a powerful reminder that our faith journey is not about our ability to hold on to God, but about God's faithfulness to hold on to us. God is the initiator; He begins the work in us, and He is committed to shaping and molding us more into the image of Jesus. This process, known as sanctification, is not always immediate, and growth can be messy, but God is always faithful. Through blessings and trials, God uses every moment to conform us to His image. The builder in the story of our lives sees the potential in the unfinished areas, just as God sees the potential in us. He doesn't waste a moment to make us more like Jesus. As we reflect on the areas in our hearts and lives that God is trying to transform, we are reminded that our story does not end with our struggles or failures. It ends with Christ finishing His work. Are we holding on to the confession of our hope, knowing that God, who promised, is faithful?## Sermon Notes### 1. God is Faithful to Start the Work (Philippians 1:6)- God initiates salvation- Before we loved Him, He loved us (1 John 4:19)- God brings new life in Christ (Ephesians 2:4-5)- God's love is unconditional (illustration: love for children)### 2. God is Faithful to Continue the Work (Philippians 1:6)- God is committed to shaping you into Christ's image- Growth is not immediate, but God is always faithful- God uses blessings, challenges, and trials to conform us to Christ (illustration: new home construction)- God's purpose is to conform us to the image of His Son (Romans 8:28-29)- God's faithfulness means every situation is used for His purpose### 3. God is Faithful to Complete the Work (Philippians 1:6)- Focus on future hope, not present circumstances- Jesus is coming back (Revelation 21:1-8)- God promises to sanctify us completely (1 Thessalonians 5:23-24)- God's faithfulness is attached to His character- Encouragement: God is working, even if it feels like He's silent### Practical Applications1. **Search me, Lord** — Pray for God to reveal areas in your life that need to be conformed to Christ.2. **Reflect on God's faithfulness** — Spend time each day meditating on how God has been faithful in your life.3. **Confess and repent** — Identify a specific sin and confess it to God, asking for His grace and forgiveness.4. **Surrender to God's will** — Pray for the courage to surrender any areas of your life that are not aligned with God's will.5. **Share your faith** — Invite someone to church or share your testimony with a friend who doesn't know Jesus.### Discussion Questions1. How has God's faithfulness impacted your life in a specific way?2. What are some areas in your life where you feel like God is still working and transforming you?3. How can we better trust in God's faithfulness during difficult times?4. What does it mean to you that God is committed to shaping you into the image of Christ?5. How can we practically support and encourage each other in our journey of sanctification?6. For those who have not yet placed their faith in Christ, what is holding you back from surrendering to God's grace today?

Learning to apply the Word of God practically in our lives is part of the process of sanctification. A development of character, a pruning, a refining, until we are made into His perfect work.

It was posted in the locker room. He said it every day. I still think about it all the time. There is no hack. There is no one thing. At many keynote Q&As, someone asks me for a quick fix. The only answer is the power of compounding. Consistency, dependability, and reliability are the least sexy words of all time. And they're the whole game. Take your work seriously. Don't take yourself seriously. The best leaders go hard at the work but laugh at themselves. It's important to be able to laugh with your team. Optionality is overrated.  "I'm trying to beef up my obituary. I'm not going to dabble." - Ed Latimore (Ep. 648) Live like a hawk. Hawks have eyesight eight times better than humans. They glide and observe constantly. But once they see what they want, they commit with everything they have. Be a professional noticer. Then commit fully. Talk to your people before big decisions. My dad. Miranda. And the wide network of high-caliber people I've built over 700 podcast episodes. Be specific. Off the record. Long conversations. Then trust your gut. Take bits and pieces from the best. Then find your own voice. As a brand new sales rep at LexisNexis, Rex Caswell had me interview and sit with the ten best reps in the company. I took a piece from each, mashed it together with my own personality, and eventually found my own voice. I still use that formula today. Use social media to create in-person moments. Organize dinners, meetups, coffees. Get in the room with people. Concert ticket prices and The World Cup tell you everything you need to know about how much people are craving in-person connection right now. Don't outsource your thinking to AI. You can't walk into the weight room, look around, and expect to build muscle. You have to move the weights. Use AI as a tool. Don't let it do the thinking for you. Your job is to add value to other people's lives. Coach Hoeppner sat 19-year-old me down with the other quarterback and pointed at both of us: "He adds more value to our team than you do. He gives us a better chance to win. That's why he's going to play." It was brutal. It was a very lucky moment for me to experience that in my formative years. I fell into the AI trap. The Be a Pro section originally started as a LinkedIn post that was heavily influenced by Claude. It went well on Twitter too. People DM'd me praising it. It felt great. And it scared me. I was getting the rewards without doing the work. The good old days are right now. I try to work hard when my family is asleep or at school. Between those hours, I go as hard as I can. Outside those hours, I try not to work too much. I've talked with so many dads who are older now, and their kids are out of the house. They miss the time when they were with their kids so much. I try to think of that daily. Making positive dents in the world. Leave people, places, and things better than you found them.  That's how you make a positive dent, one person at a time. My philosophy on keynotes and writing: story, science, and practical application. Great storytelling to move people to the edge of their seat. Empirical evidence to make it true. Practical application to answer, "So what? Why should I care?" You have to have all 3. Our edge in coaching leadership teams: my coaches actively live what they teach. They didn't attend a seminar and get certified. They're still active coaches themselves, still leading teams in real time. That's what separates authentic teaching from performance. Push your edges. Find your Goldilocks zone. James Clear told me you don't get better at tennis by playing Roger Federer. He'll destroy you. But you also don't get better by playing a five-year-old. You need to be uncomfortable, but not so uncomfortable that you break. Shane Gillis walked off stage looking exhausted. Dan saw him live in Cincinnati. On stage, effortless. The second he stepped behind the curtain, his shoulders slumped like he was ready to fall asleep. That's what the great ones do. They make it look easy because of the price they paid to get there. My productive paranoia. Our team has to earn it every session. It creates a productive paranoia knowing that continuous improvement is necessary. The reward is bigger than the cost. It's the greatest gig in the world. I bet on myself and the team every single day because if we keep adding value, I like our chances. Reflection Questions Where are you dabbling right now?

In Hope Church's series on the faithfulness of God, this "faithful in failure" message uses the life of Peter—his calling, his threefold denial of Jesus, and his restoration around the charcoal fire—to show that God works through our failures rather than being finished with us. Just as Jesus restored Peter with three commissions and later used him to grow the church from 120 to over 3,000 at Pentecost, the sermon's three points remind us that failure isn't the end when Jesus restores us, restoration always leads back to purpose, and our greatest failure doesn't have to become our identity—because our identity is found in Christ, not our shortcomings.**Detailed Notes**- We are all failures. Romans 3:23 — "all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God." That includes every one of us.- Scripture is a time capsule of humanity's failures that reveals God's faithfulness through them.- Garden: Adam and Eve failed, yet God didn't wipe the slate clean—He covered their nakedness and stayed faithful.- Peter: a simple fisherman Jesus called, renamed (Cephas/Peter), and poured into—yet at the crucial moment he denied Christ three times.- Jesus didn't condemn Peter; He restored him around a charcoal fire (John 21). Three denials, three questions, three commissions: "Feed my lambs, tend my sheep, feed my sheep."- Restored Peter preached at Pentecost—the church grew from 120 to over 3,000 in a day. Not Peter's faithfulness, but God's.**Three Points**1. Failure is not the end when Jesus restores you.2. Restoration always leads back to purpose—He restores us to use us.3. Your greatest failure does not have to become your identity. We remember Peter for leading the church, not for his denial. Christ defines us, not our shortcomings.**Practical Applications**- Stop letting your past disqualify you. God isn't done with you when you fail.- Bring your failures to Jesus rather than hiding or "blotting out" your story.- Expect restoration to come with a calling—look for the purpose God is redeeming your failure toward.- Be obedient and share your story. Someone near you has walked what you've walked; your redemption can point them to Christ.- Root your identity in Christ, not in your worst moment.**Discussion Questions**1. Where do you tend to believe your failures have disqualified you from being used by God?2. Peter's denial was left in the Gospels on purpose. Why do we want to erase our failures, and what changes when we don't?3. How does seeing "God's faithfulness in the failure" differ from just trying to fail less?4. Restoration led Peter back to purpose. What might God be restoring you toward right now?5. Whose story has God given you that someone else needs to hear?6. What would it look like this week to root your identity in Christ rather than your past?*"This is not about Peter's failure. It's about God's faithfulness in the failure."*

THE DAVID ALLIANCE TDAgiantSlayer@Gmail.com Garth Heckman CATCH THIS:  Because the Holy Spirit indwells the believer, you become the mobile temple of God. The cosmic river of life no longer flows from a building in Jerusalem; it flows out of the deepest, most central part of your converted being.     Rheousin (ῥεύσουσιν) – "Will Flow" The Literal Meaning: This is a continuous active verb meaning to stream, to gush, or to flood heavily… ALWAYS FLOWING ALWAYS FRESH       The theology here is clear: Believers are not meant to be reservoirs that store up grace; we are meant to be pipelines that distribute it.   4. Practical Applications: Living the Outflow If the koilia (the core) is filled with the Spirit, it must result in a rheousin (a gushing flow) into our everyday environments. Here is how that applies practically:     WHAT THIS MEANS 1. Shift from "Consuming" to "Overflowing"   2. Radical Environmental Transformation (The Ezekiel Effect) WHERE EVER WE GO THINGS ARE GONNA GET WET!    3. Cultivating Emotional Integrity at the Core (Koilia) Because the river flows from the koilia—the seat of our emotions and deepest hidden spaces—it means our inner world matters immensely. If our inner core is clogged with bitterness, unexpressed anger, or anxiety, the outflow gets restricted.         James 3:11,12 can bitterness and fresh water come    Inconsistency reveals a problem - not with the source, but within the choice of which source to work from.  Its all about control - not the source The tongue… the mind - must be renewed. The river of life …the inner being of a man.    So we see two things at work in us… We can block the River - choosing to not obey We can poison the River - thought life   How to poison a river? Satan can't read your mind…  I can… every time. - you are going to think about chocolate ice cream…  NOW: I bet you are thinking about chocolate ice cream!  THEN: I attack you for thinking of chocolate ice cream. That's how satan works.        Practical Application from Scripture To keep the River flowing freely: - Walk in the Spirit (Galatians 5:16, 25). - Be filled with the Spirit continually (Ephesians 5:18). - Obey His leading, pursue holiness, and fan into flame the gift of God (2 Timothy 1:6). - Repent quickly when we grieve or quench Him.

In this episode of That's So Hindu, Mat McDermott speaks with Dr Uma Purighalla. They discuss her journey as an Ayurvedic doctor and her integration of Ayurvedic principles with Western medicine.

While many people know about AI, not everyone chooses to use it. The key difference is curiosity and the willingness to try new tools!  During today's conversation, Nathan shares stories from his AI training sessions, showing how hands-on practice with tools such as ChatGPT, Claude, and NotebookLM helps people understand what AI can and cannot do.  The conversation also looks beyond productivity to discuss important topics such as AI's environmental impact, ethical concerns, and its growing influence on the way people write and communicate. Nathan talks about the need to use AI responsibly and shares ideas from his work on sustainable AI. Scott adds that people should focus on using AI to solve real problems instead of relying on it for everything.  Furthermore, Nathan and Scott explore how AI can support the nonprofit sector, the rise of new AI systems that combine multiple models, and the increasing amount of AI-generated content on platforms such as LinkedIn. They end the conversation by encouraging listeners to stay curious, keep learning, and use AI as a tool to support, rather than replace, human creativity.    HIGHLIGHTS [01:04] AI Training and Practical Applications  [12:30] Agency and AI Adoption  [13:39] Environmental Impact and Ethical Concerns   [16:27] Philanthropy and Nonprofit Sector Challenges   [22:42] Technical Advancements in AI   [32:48] LinkedIn and AI-Generated Content   [37:12] AI's Influence on Language and Communication   Resources:  Connect with Nathan and Scott:  LinkedIn (Nathan): linkedin.com/in/nathanchappell/  LinkedIn (Scott): linkedin.com/in/scott-rosenkrans  Website: fundraising.ai/  Website (Nathan): nathanchappell.com/

Re-air of Episode 550 (Originally aired August 21, 2025) In the final episode of our 1 John series, Steve Wood explores the heart of Christian living through 1 John 5:3: “For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments—and his commandments are not burdensome.” Why does the faith so often feel heavy—especially to young people? Drawing on insights from Cardinal Christoph Schönborn and St. Thomas Aquinas, Steve explains why authentic Christian morality must flow from grace, not willpower, pressure, or rule-keeping. This episode offers practical tools for parents and catechists, including the “Grace Burger” method, the importance of memorizing Ephesians 2:8–10, and how to avoid becoming a “Pharisee parent.” In a time when many young Catholics are walking away, this episode provides hope—and concrete strategies—for passing on a joyful, grace-filled faith.

Send us Fan MailThe podcast explores the dramatic life of King Manasseh of Judah, widely considered one of the most wicked kings in biblical history, as a profound demonstration of God's grace, mercy, and willingness to forgive even the worst of sinners. It also serves as a cautionary tale about parental influence and legacy.Major Points from the NarrativeA Long, Wicked Reign: Manasseh became king at just 12 years old and ruled Jerusalem for 55 years—the longest reign of any Judean king. He completely reversed the godly reforms of his father, King Hezekiah, by rebuilding pagan high places, practicing sorcery, consulting mediums, desecrating the Temple with idols, and even sacrificing his own sons.Divine Judgment and Captivity: Because Manasseh and the people ignored God's prophets, the Assyrian army captured Manasseh "with hooks," bound him in bronze chains, and exiled him to Babylon.Repentance and Restored Grace: In his severe distress, Manasseh humbled himself and prayed fervently to God. Highlighting a reading from the Apocrypha text The Prayer of Manasseh, the podcast underscores his deep confession of guilt. God answered his plea, forgave him, and remarkably restored him to his throne in Jerusalem.Later Reforms: Following his restoration, Manasseh spent his remaining years tearing down the pagan idols he built, fortifying Jerusalem's defenses, and commanding Judah to serve Yahweh.The Long Shadow of a Parent's Legacy: Though Manasseh repented, his son Amon chose to imitate the wicked, idolatrous years of his father's youth rather than his later years of righteousness. Amon refused to humble himself and was assassinated after a brief two-year reign, which ultimately paved the way for the godly King Josiah.Practical Applications for Listeners1. No One is Beyond the Reach of God's Grace. The primary spiritual takeaway is that God is exceptionally compassionate, patient, and ready to grant remission of sins to anyone who genuinely repents. If the "most wicked king" could be forgiven and saved, no listener has sinned too deeply to turn back to God.2. Pay Attention to Divine Warnings The narrative warns against spiritual stubbornness. Listeners are urged to pay attention when rebuked by God—whether through scripture, preaching, or life circumstances—and to pivot quickly rather than ignoring the warnings as Manasseh initially did.3. The Reality of Parental Influence The episode highlights how a parent's early life of rebellion can deeply impact their children. Children often mimic a parent's worst seasons rather than their later corrections.4. Intercede for the Next Generation For listeners who may have come to faith later in life and worry about the negative influence they previously had on their children, the speaker exhorts them to turn to fervent prayer—asking God to awaken their children, show them mercy, and break the cycle of generational sin.Bible Insights with  Wayne ConradContact: 8441 Hunnicut Rd Dallas, Texas 75228email: Att.
