"The staff of the man whom I choose shall sprout." After Korah's rebellion, God confirms Aaron's priesthood through a miraculous sign. Twelve staffs are placed before the ark, and Aaron's alone buds, blossoms, and produces almonds overnight. Dead wood comes to life by God's power. In this chapter and the opening of the next, we see God establishing the priesthood that would serve until a greater Priest came, one whose resurrection from the dead confirmed His eternal priesthood forever.  The Rev. Timothy Barkett, pastor of Good Shepherd Lutheran Church in Kingman, AZ joins the Rev. Dr. Phil Booe to study Numbers 17:1-18:7.  To learn more about Good Shepherd Lutheran, visit goodshepherdlckingman.org. The Book of Numbers is far more than an ancient census report. It is the story of a people learning to trust God in the wilderness, and failing, and finding grace anyway.  In this series, host Pastor Phil Booe and guest pastors walk through the Old Testament book of Numbers chapter by chapter. We follow Israel from Sinai toward the Promised Land, through grumbling and rebellion, fiery serpents and a talking donkey, faithless spies and faithful priests. The journey is hard, the failures are many, and God remains faithful to a faithless people.  These ancient accounts point us to Christ. The bronze serpent lifted on a pole points to the cross. The rock struck for water points to the one struck for us. The high priest whose death frees the manslayer points to the Great High Priest whose death sets us free forever. Join us as we discover that the wilderness has more to teach us than we ever expected.  Thy Strong Word, hosted by Rev. Dr. Phil Booe, pastor of St. John Lutheran Church of Luverne, MN, reveals the light of our salvation in Christ through study of God's Word, breaking our darkness with His redeeming light. Each weekday, two pastors fix our eyes on Jesus by considering Holy Scripture, verse by verse, in order to be strengthened in the Word and be equipped to faithfully serve in our daily vocations.

Today’s Topics: 1, 2, 3, 4) Father Charles Murr joins Terry Gospel – Matthew 10:1-7 – Jesus summoned His Twelve disciples and gave them authority over unclean spirits to drive them out and to cure every disease and every illness. The names of the Twelve Apostles are these: first, Simon called Peter, and his brother Andrew; James, the son of Zebedee, and his brother John; Philip and Bartholomew, Thomas and Matthew the tax collector; James, the son of Alphaeus, and Thaddeus; Simon the Cananean, and Judas Iscariot who betrayed Jesus. Jesus sent out these Twelve after instructing them thus, “Do not go into pagan territory or enter a Samaritan town. Go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. As you go, make this proclamation: ‘The Kingdom of heaven is at hand.'” Memorial of Saint Augustine Zhao Rong, Priest, and Companions, Martyrs Saint Augustine and Companions, pray for us! Bishop Sheen quote of the day

The readings for this homily: https://bible.usccb.org/bible/readings/030326.cfmFather Matthew Tomeny, MIC, reminds us that true love begins with God and flows outward to every human soul. He explains that those who love themselves more than God impose heavy burdens on those around them, while those who love God above all seek to lift the weight from others. In this spirit, St. Katharine Drexel, born into immense wealth in 1858, chose to see the world through God's eyes.Educated by devout parents, she inherited more than $7 million — a fortune that would equal hundreds of millions today. Yet she recognized that money was not as valuable as the good works it could perform.. Guided by the prophetic call “wash yourselves clean … make justice your aim,” she turned her inheritance into works of mercy for orphans, widows, African‑American families, and the Native‑American peoples.She requested missionaries for Wyoming from the Holy See, and the Pope's reply — “why don't you become a missionary?” — sparked a radical conversion. She surrendered her fortune, prompting headlines that read “Drexel Gives Up $7 Million.” From that surrender sprang 51convents, 60schools, and 145 missions across the United States, including Xavier University, the first historically Black Catholic university.For St. Katharine, the Eucharist was the living source of every act of charity. She taught that when we behold Christ hidden in the Sacrament, we also see Him hidden in each person we serve. The humble sacrifice of the Mass empowers us to love without selfish gain, inspiring and enabling her own life of self‑offering. ★ Support this podcast ★

The readings for this homily: https://bible.usccb.org/bible/readings/030426.cfmFather Tyler Mentzer, MIC, invites us to contemplate what it truly means to “reign with Christ.” He opens with a striking analogy: a modern “geodome” that creates a flawless, wind‑less environment for trees. In that artificial sanctuary, the trees flourish at first, but their roots remain shallow. Without needing to withstand the wind, the trees become top‑heavy. Their fragile roots cannot anchor them, and they eventually topple.Father Tyler draws a parallel between those fragile trees and a life that lacks adversity. When we seek a perfect, trouble‑free existence, we attempt to eliminate the “wind” that deepens and strengthens our spiritual roots. The Gospel warns us that greatness in the Kingdom is measured, not by position, but by humble service. Jesus tells the disciples that the first shall be the greatest only when he becomes everyone else's servant.Father Tyler reminds us that the very trials Jesus endured — 40 days in the desert; the temptations of Satan; the agony of the Cross — were the winds that proved His unshakable love for the Father. Likewise, the request of James and John to sit at Christ's right and left reveals a self‑inflated desire for power. Jesus redirects them, teaching that true headship is found in laying down one's life for others, echoing the servant leadership modeled at the Last Supper when He washed His disciples' feet.In our own lives, the “wind” can be professional setbacks, relational conflicts, or the quiet suffering of daily duties. When we meet these challenges with faith, we are compelled to deepen our roots in the Father's love, allowing the Holy Spirit to strengthen us from within. The Sacraments — especially Confession, Baptism, and the Eucharist — provide the nourishment that sustains us through the storm, reminding us that we are already participants in Christ's reign when we serve selflessly.Father Tyler urges us to ask: Do I seek the comfort of a wind‑less dome, or do I welcome the gusts that shape my character? By choosing to serve, to love, and to sacrifice, we already reign with Christ, even if the world does not notice. At the final judgment, the Church teaches that we will be judged by the depth of our love of God and neigbor—; that is, by how far we have sunk our roots into the Father's boundless mercy. ★ Support this podcast ★

In 1 Samuel 21, David is desperate and on the run, and instead of seeking the Lord, he relies on his own plan. God still provides food and a weapon, not because David planned well, but because God is merciful. This passage challenges us to examine how often we try to save ourselves, and how easily we can treat holy things as tools instead of gifts meant to draw us to worship. God provides, even in our weakness, but He calls us to repentance, reverence, and deeper trust in Him. “So the priest gave him the holy bread…” – 1 Samuel 21:6

Pastor Tom shares a devotional from Hebrews 4:14-16

Why is Jesus named “The Christ”? Today we discover the meaning behind this powerful title. We also learn about the three-fold ministry of Jesus as the long-awaited Messiah. Fr. Mike explains the true meaning of the kingship of Jesus and how as followers of Christ, we have the opportunity to participate in his priestly, prophetic, and kingly ministry. Today's readings are Catechism paragraphs 436-440. This episode has been found to be in conformity with the Catechism by the Institute on the Catechism, under the Subcommittee on the Catechism, USCCB.

This discussion features: Judah Thomas, Lenny Selgado, Mike McHugh, and James Gowell.Edited by: Tim NicholsonIn Week 12 of Thriving in the Word, we continue our discussion on Hebrews 7–9 and talk about covenants, what they are, what the mean/meant and how the old law evolved into bending rules. We unpack the difference between the old covenant (old contract) and the new covenant (new heart), and why God's plan was never just “try harder and do it all right.” From types and shadows to the real thing, we trace how the Old Testament system pointed forward to Jesus—our spotless Lamb, our better Priest, and the One whose blood speaks a better word.Along the way, we get practical (and a little humorous):What does it mean for God to write His law on our hearts?Why do we have an innate sense of right and wrong, and why doesn't that save us?How does hardness of heart keep people stuck in performance mode?We chat about Simon who carried the Cross for Jesus and what it must've felt like to actually have Jesus “blood on you”?Why the first mile is obligation, but the second mile is where we share our faith.If you've ever felt crushed by the idea that you have to be perfect to be close to God, this episode is for you. Jesus doesn't upgrade your effort, He has a new contract.Help us spread the word about Thriving in the Word—and thanks for being part of the family.Have a blessed day.More info: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.thrive.church⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Give: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.thrive.church/give/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Need prayer? ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠prayer@thrive.church⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠This is a presentation of Thrive.Church © All Rights Reserved

Men are struggling—and it's not just stress, motivation, or “discipline.” In this conversation, Pastor + attorney Chris Sykes breaks down the real root issue behind so much modern male burnout: spiritual weakness. When a man feels spiritually weak, it shows up everywhere—passivity, anger, addiction cycles (porn, food, alcohol, nicotine), lack of purpose, and drifting in marriage. If you've ever felt like you're cracking under pressure, losing your temper, living numb, or letting your wife carry the spiritual leadership, this episode is for you. We talk about biblical masculinity vs toxic masculinity, how culture pushes men to “dominate or disappear,” and what God calls men to instead: lead with wisdom, courage, and love. You'll also hear real-life stories—men turning their lives around, marriages getting healthier, and fathers rebuilding trust with their kids. If you want to become a stronger husband, father, and man of faith—without fake hype—this is a practical, hope-filled roadmap to rebuild spiritual strength and start leading again. You'll learn how spiritual weakness fuels emotional weakness, mental fog, addiction patterns, and “aimless living,” and what to do when you feel like you're falling under pressure. You'll hear a clear, grounded explanation of biblical masculinity vs toxic masculinity, including why the difference is often a “twist of sin,” not the removal of masculinity. We unpack the two common extremes men swing into—passivity or aggression—and how to find assertive, loving leadership at home with your wife and kids. You'll also get simple, practical actions you can start immediately: get in the Word, build a prayer rhythm (even if you've never prayed out loud), improve physical health, and put yourself in environments where strong men sharpen other men. 00:00 Intro00:12 Meet Chris Sykes (pastor + attorney)01:24 Chris' story: church, law school, calling05:44 The biggest problem men face: spiritual weakness07:11 Aimlessness, isolation, addiction cycles11:58 How modern culture shapes weakness in men12:28 Prophet, Priest, King, Warrior framework14:10 Passivity vs aggression (dominate or disappear)22:18 How spiritual weakness impacts marriage + kids24:37 The $4,000 story: a man's life turns around27:13 Praying together + thriving marriage28:05 Crisis, counseling, and rebuilding as a father34:50 Practical solutions men can start today35:12 Bible reading habits + Proverbs/John38:29 How to pray out loud (simple method)42:09 Parenting: the “edge of the bed” habit43:49 Build brotherhood + get in strong environments44:42 Where to find Chris online #BiblicalManhood #ChristianMen #Masculinity #MarriageAdvice #SpiritualGrowth Learn more about your ad choices.

The readings for this homily: https://bible.usccb.org/bible/readings/030226.cfmFather Chris Alar, MIC, reminds us that Jesus' warning, “Judge not, lest you be judged” applies to condemning persons, not discerning sin. He explains that while an act may be objectively grave — abortion, theft, or any violation of God's moral law — we often lack full knowledge of the person's heart and circumstances, so we must address the action, not label the individual.Father Chris warns against the cultural tide of relativism that blurs objective truth. He points to the Equality Act, describing it as a legislative effort that would force churches, schools, and hospitals to abandon the Church's teaching on marriage, gender, and the sanctity of life. He calls this “a wolf in sheep's clothing,” urging believers to stand firm on the truth revealed by Scripture and the Magisterium.Balancing mercy with truth, he cites Augustine: “Love the sinner, hate the sin.” True mercy involves lovingly correcting the errant behavior that endangers souls, not excusing it. He stresses that the Church's works of mercy include admonishing sinners, protecting the vulnerable, and upholding the dignity of every human person while defending the objective moral order. ★ Support this podcast ★

On March 1, ferries from Japan's main Island of Honshu to Sado Island (Niigata Prefecture), started running again after their long winter slumber waiting for the frothy Sea of Japan to settle and for calmer winds to set in for reliable crossings. Let's celebrate Spring in Japan with this previous Books on Asia episode with author and travel-writer Angus Waycott who talks about his  8-day walk around Sado Island.  Waycott gives us in-depth accounts of: a mujina (tanuki-worshipping) cult, funa-ema (literally "ship horse pictures"), exile (including those of Zeami and Buddhist priest Nichiren), and the controversy behind the Kinzan gold mine and its "slave labor," all topics that he recorded in his book Sado: Japan's Island in Exile, originally published by Stone Bridge Press in 1996 and re-issued as an e-book by the author 2012 and 2023. Book Description: "Given the choice, no-one ever went to Sado. For more than a thousand years, this island in the Sea of Japan was a place of exile for the deposed, disgraced or just plain distrusted — ex-emperors, aristocrats, poets, priests and convicted criminals alike. This book rediscovers the exiles' island, explores the truth about its notorious gold mine, tracks down a vanishing badger cult, and drops in on the home of super-drummer band Kodo. Along the way, it paints a vivid picture of one of Japan's most intriguing backwaters, now emerging from a long exile of its own." About the Author Angus Waycott is an author and travel writer whose books have been published in the UK, USA, Japan and the Netherlands. He has been the voice of TV news broadcasts, commercials, and award-winning documentaries, voiced "character" parts in game software and anime productions, and worked as a copywriter, publisher, teacher, translator, lighting designer, and staircase builder. His books are Sado: Japan's Isand in Exile, Paper Doors: Japan from Scratch (2012), The Winterborne Journey: along a small crack in the planet (2023), and National Parks of Western Europe (2012). Check out his short video on Sado Island. The Books on Asia Podcast is sponsored by Stone Bridge Press. Check out their books on Japan at the publisher's website.

Isaiah 51:1–2 instructs us to, "Look unto Abraham your father, and unto Sarah that bare you." In this episode, David and Jo Ann Seely unpack their article "The Ten Tests of Abraham and Sarah," uncovering how Abraham and Sarah emerge as models of covenant discipleship. The Seelys explore how these tests developed in scriptural commentary, highlight Sarah's often-overlooked trials, and discuss connections to the Book of Abraham. From this episode, we can gain a deeper understanding of how ancient traditions can illuminate the covenant path and enrich our own discipleship.

Can you believe we were on the mind of Jesus right before He's betrayed? The day before His crucifixion, Jesus prays to the Father for us in His "The High Priestly Prayer." In this message, Pastor Philip Miller shows us four elements of this loving prayer: Jesus' request, His report, an intercession, and His desire. Jesus wants us to come alive in the eternal love of the Trinity.

Speaker: Brent Kercheville. The book of Leviticus is the manual for knowing how we can remain in fellowship with God. God has come down and the glory of the Lord has filled the tabernacle (Exodus 40). Now that God is among his people, directions must be given for how the people can dwell with him without being consumed […] The post REWIND: The Need for a Priest (Leviticus 6-8) appeared first on Biblical Truths from West Palm Beach church of Christ.

This week, we walk through God's instructions for the priesthood and the setting apart of those who would serve before Him. What may appear to be detailed ceremony actually reveals something deeper, our need for a perfect Priest. These passages point forward to Jesus, the sinless mediator and final sacrifice, who makes a way for us to come near. Will we draw near to God?     Want to watch a version of this message?

At Jesus' Crucifixion and Death, the “Temple Veil” Was Torn; After Jesus Easter Resurrection, You Now Pray Directly with God MESSAGE SUMMARY:  Think about the magnitude of your direct and personal access to God that your prayers give you, through Jesus, if you will only pray. Before Jesus, ordinary people did not have direct access to God, through the Throne Room of God, with a direct personal relationship with God. In Old Testament times, people would come to the priests; and the priest would offer up a sacrifice on behalf of the people. The priests, and not the people, were communing directly with God. On Good Friday and at Jesus death on the cross, the “Temple Veil” was torn from top to bottom (i.e. “Temple Vail” was a large, very thick, and very heavy barrier that divided that portion of the Temple accessible by those wishing to sacrifice for prayer and the “Holy of Holies” where the only the High Priest could meet with God and pray on behalf of the people of God.). At Jesus Resurrection, no longer was an intermediary (e.g., a Priest) required for direct prayer with God by the people in Christ (i.e. Jesus Followers).  Because Jesus created a New Covenant relationship with His followers, now your prayers are in direct communion with God, the Creator of the Universe. Everyone, who is in Christ, may have access to the Throne Room of God in the name of Jesus. What a privilege this direct access to God is for those who are in Christ. The author of Hebrews, in Hebrews 4:16, tells Jesus Followers that, because of the Gospel, you have direct access to God's “throne of Grace” for your needs: “Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need.".   TODAY'S PRAYER: Keeping the Sabbath, Lord, will require a lot of changes in the way I am living life. Teach me, Lord, how to take the next step with this in a way that fits my unique personality and situation. Help me to trust you with all that will remain unfinished and to enjoy my humble place in your very large world. In Jesus' name, amen. Scazzero, Peter. Emotionally Healthy Spirituality Day by Day (p. 129). Zondervan. Kindle Edition. TODAY'S AFFIRMATION: Today, I affirm that because of what God has done for me in His Son, Jesus, I AM RIGHTEOUS IN GOD'S EYES. God made Him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in Him we might become the righteousness of God. 2 Corinthians 5:21 SCRIPTURE REFERENCE (ESV): Philippians 4:1-13; John 15:9-10; Revelation 4:1-2; Psalms 69c:25-36.

New books by a psychoanalyst and a priest have something in common: They draw on the experience of holding other people's stories. Stephen Grosz says his book, Love's Labor, is a collection of “hard-won truths” he's arrived at through sessions with his patients. In today's episode, he speaks with NPR's Ayesha Rascoe about his observations on love, work and relationships. Then, Father James Martin joins NPR's Scott Detrow for a conversation about Work in Progress. They discuss the litany of odd jobs Martin held before becoming a priest – and what ultimately led him to the church.To listen to Book of the Day sponsor-free and support NPR's book coverage, sign up for Book of the Day+ at plus.npr.org/bookofthedayTo manage podcast ad preferences, review the links below:See pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for sponsorship and to manage your podcast sponsorship preferences.Learn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy

It all happened on a February 26th sometime in the past. | The Morning Weird Darkness*No AI Voices Are Used In The Narration Of This Podcast*WeirdDarkness® is a registered trademark.

Many of our political leaders invoke the Bible, but Rabbi Shai Held says many don't understand one of its most important commands. Rabbi Held argues that Scripture's call to love immigrants was a "moral revolution" and says the mistreatment of immigrants is an abomination in God's eyes. Skye interviews Father James Martin about his new memoir, "Work in Progress," about his journey from the business world to the priesthood. They also discuss the link between Jesuit spirituality and Protestant theology, and they get nerdy about Jesus and temple theology.
