Grace chats with Marianne Wright on the novels and sermons of the great Victorian writer and Presbyterian minister, George MacDonald. Why did this somewhat obscure (for us today, at least) novelist inspired some of the most well-beloved writers of the twentieth century, like C.S. Lewis and G.K. Chesterton?  Marianne Wright, a member of the Bruderhof, lives in southeastern New York with her husband and five children. She has edited two books for Plough, Anni and The Gospel in George MacDonald. She writes at seasonsofcommunityliving.substack.com.

 Carter Booker: Living Radical Love--Through Forgiveness

In this episode of OP Talks, Rev. Dr. Tony Lin talks to Dr. Nely Galán, entrepreneur, Emmy Award–winning TV producer, real-estate mogul, author, and podcaster. Her New York Times bestseller Self Made: Becoming Empowered, Self-Reliant, and Rich in Every Way (Spiegel & Grau, 2016), which features a foreword by financial advisor Suze Orman, inspires women to find their financial footing in the world and become entrepreneurs. "God is going to help you, but you have to help yourself,” Dr. Galán tells Rev. Dr. Lin. Part of being self-made and helping yourself is being flexible and evolving, she says. “To make it to the end of your life, what I've learned is, you have to make yourself over, over and over again…You are on a trajectory, and that trajectory is an obstacle course…Along the way, if you are not flexible, if you don't pivot, if you don't evolve, if you don't grow all the time, and are willing to change, and are willing to understand that the road is not a clear road, and go with that, you are not going to make it to the end of your life. You are going to be a very fear-based person [who] is suffering a lot.” Dr. Galán knows firsthand about flexibility and pivoting. Born in Santa Clara, Cuba, she emigrated to the United States with her parents and her brother after the revolution. They were warmly welcomed by an American family in New Jersey, thanks to the missionary work of the Presbyterian church. Years later, when her son was in third grade and struggling in school, Dr. Galán decided to go back to college “to fill in her educational gaps.” She wanted to be a role model for her son and encourage him in his own educational journey. At the height of her television-producing career (she is owner of Galán Entertainment and former president of Telemundo's entertainment division), Dr. Galán decided to return to college, where she earned a PhD as a clinical psychologist. She went on to work as a therapist at a middle school for a year. “Sometimes, in life, you have to do what the world perceives as taking a step backward to move forward,” she says. “You cannot be afraid to pivot, to change, to hear your inner voice.  I always say I have deep conversations with God myself. I don't need to go somewhere to do it. I do it myself. I ask God questions, and God answers me.” In 2016, TJ Jakes, Senior Pastor of The Potter's House, invited Galán to his show to speak about personal economic empowerment, “because God can't do everything.” While her call for empowerment around abundance might easily be misconstrued in a society of overconsumption, Dr. Galán clarifies the spirit of her message. "I am not a grandiose person,” she tells Rev. Dr. Lin. “I don't live lavishly. I don't want money for those reasons. I want to live okay, but I really am more about having money for freedom to do the things I want to do. What I want is to democratize finance... I really feel like the missing link for us is lack of knowledge." In fact, Dr. Galán believes that money can be a spiritual practice: “How you deal with it. Why you make the money What you do with the money, and then how you spend the money, is a spiritual practice." MORE LISTENING "Money Maker/Mi mundo rico with Nely Galán" is the podcast for everyone with untapped greatness who just needs the tools to take flight.

Audio Recording Sermon OutlineSpeaker: Rev. Scott StrickmanSermon Series: The 4 RelationshipsMatthew 6:19-34 (ESV)19 “Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal, 20 but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. 21 For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.22 “The eye is the lamp of the body. So, if your eye is healthy, your whole body will be full of light, 23 but if your eye is bad, your whole body will be full of darkness. If then the light in you is darkness, how great is the darkness!24 “No one can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and money.25 “Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink, nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing? 26 Look at the birds of the air: they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? 27 And which of you by being anxious can add a single hour to his span of life?[c] 28 And why are you anxious about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin, 29 yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. 30 But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is alive and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith? 31 Therefore do not be anxious, saying, ‘What shall we eat?' or ‘What shall we drink?' or ‘What shall we wear?' 32 For the Gentiles seek after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them all. 33 But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.34 “Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.Sermon OutlineWhen God is your Father your “self” is restored and renewed.1. Where is your heart?v21 “where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” v24 “No one can serve two masters… he will hate the one and love the other...” vv25-34 (v28 “Why are you anxious…?”)v33 “But seek first…”2. How are your eyes?v22 “The eye is the lamp of the body… if your eye is healthy, your whole body will be full of light…”3. Who provides for you?v25 “is not life more than…?”v32 “Your heavenly Father knows...”Prayer of ConfessionOur Father, you are generous, patient and faithful. Forgive us and help us. We admit we have not sought you first. We have not loved you as we ought. With terrible judgment, we have over-valued the things you have made. With confusion, we acted as if our desires could be satisfied by what the world treasures. With regret, the things we have devoted ourselves to have burned us out. We admit the darkness within us. We ask for forgiveness. We look to you, our Father in heaven, because life is found in you. Amen.Questions for ReflectionWhere is your heart? What have you set your heart on? What is your hope, your source of meaning, identity, etc.?What does it meant to store up treasure in heaven? How do you do it?How are your eyes? What are some of the main things you see? What words describe how you typically experience the world?What kinds of difficulties within you are affecting your relationships and experiences? What are you trying to suppress that inevitably comes out?What about God as our “father” is hard for you to grasp? What is the most helpful title or concept of God for you?Why does Jesus urge his followers to understand God as a father? How does this change things?Why can you trust God with the details of your life? What does the Bible teach, or what do you know is true of God that should provide assurance that you can trust God consistently?

The following address was delivered by Robert J. Breckinridge as a speech made during the October 1843 meeting of the Synod of Philadelphia of the Presbyterian Church in the United States of America. This speech was subsequently published under the title, “Presbyterian Government, Not a Hierarchy, But a Commonwealth.”   Sadly, Breckinridge's argument failed to persuade the Synod on this point. However, in published form, it has had an immense influence on the historic polity of the Southern Presbyterian Church (PCUS) and of its successor, the Presbyterian Church in America (PCA). --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/antiochpca/message

He is their help and their shield.10 O house of Aaron, trust in the Lord! He is their help and their shield.11 You who fear the Lord, trust in the Lord! He is their help and their shield.12 The Lord has remembered us; he will bless us; he will bless the house of Israel; he will bless the house of Aaron;13 he will bless those who fear the Lord, both the small and the great.14 May the Lord give you increase, you and your children!15 May you be blessed by the Lord, who made heaven and earth!16 The heavens are the Lord's heavens, but the earth he has given to the children of man.17 The dead do not praise the Lord, nor do any who go down into silence.18 But we will bless the Lord from this time forth and forevermore.Praise the Lord!Sermon OutlineGod is personal, so when we come to know God (not just have knowledge about God) we experience renewal in our lives.1.

The living Godv12 “the Lord has remembered us”vv9-11 “trust in the Lord!”vv17-18 “the dead do not… but we will bless the Lord…”Prayer of ConfessionNot to us, O Lord, not to us, but to your name give glory, for the sake of your steadfast love and your faithfulness. We admit our lack of love and faithlessness. We have not trusted you. Instead, we have trusted in ourselves, the things of this world, and the work of our own hands. Our thoughts, feelings, words and actions evidence our sin. Forgive us. We remember your steadfast love and faithfulness, and pray that you will remember us with mercy. May Jesus, who reconciled us to you by taking on flesh and suffering death, receive glory even as we ask to receive forgiveness. Amen.Questions for ReflectionIs relating to God easier or harder than relating to people? Why?Does it trouble you that God does whatever he pleases? Does it encourage you? Why?What do you think are the top 5 things people look to in place of God (for help, significance, status, comfort, etc.)? What are the idols of our place/time? Which of these are you most drawn to?In what ways do we become like the things we devote ourselves to? Do you see any symptoms in your life of having become like something you have trusted and devoted yourself to?Do you want God to remember you? Why is God's steadfast love and faithfulness so crucial to our drawing near to God?How can the work of Christ, who laid down his life so that we are reconciled to God, bring life to our souls? What things should we continually remember to thrive?If you had a firm conviction that God will bless you, would that motivate you to live more sacrificially for his glory? What motivates you (or would motivate you) to seek God's honor above your own? What are the marks of a healthy relationship with God?
