The story of ancient Rome is predominantly one of great men with great fortunes. Surviving Rome: The Economic Lives of the Ninety Percent (Princeton UP, 2025) unearths another history, one of ordinary Romans, who worked with their hands and survived through a combination of grit and grinding labor. Focusing on the working majority, Kim Bowes tells the stories of people like the tenant farmer Epimachus, Faustilla the moneylender, and the pimp Philokles. She reveals how the economic changes of the period created a set of bitter challenges and opportunistic hustles for everyone from farmers and craftspeople to day laborers and slaves. She finds working people producing a consumer revolution, making and buying all manner of goods from fine pottery to children's toys. Many of the poorest working people probably pieced together a living from multiple sources of income, including wages. And she suggests that Romans' most daunting challenge was the struggle to save. Like many modern people, saving enough to buy land or start a business was a slow, precarious slog. Bowes shows how these economies of survival were shared by a wide swath of the populace, blurring the lines between genders, ages, and legal status.Drawing on new archaeological and textual evidence, Surviving Rome presents a radical new perspective on the economy of ancient Rome while speaking to the challenges of today's laborers and gig workers surviving in an unforgiving global world. Kim Bowes is professor of archaeology and ancient history at the University of Pennsylvania. She is the author of Houses and Society in the Later Roman Empire and Private Worship, Public Values, and Religious Change in Late Antiquity. Morteza Hajizadeh is a Ph.D. graduate in English from the University of Auckland in New Zealand. His research interests are Cultural Studies; Critical Theory; Environmental History; Medieval (Intellectual) History; Gothic Studies; 18th and 19th Century British Literature.

In this message, James explores how worship is not limited to sung moments on a Sunday, but is a whole-life response of sacrifice, surrender, and devotion to God. Drawing from Genesis 22, James 4:8, and New Testament insights into worship, James shows how private, unseen worship becomes a powerful place of intimacy, breakthrough, and transformation. Through honest personal testimony, he reveals how moments of private worship—offering time, attention, obedience, and trust—can unlock healing, clarity, peace, and renewed faith. This message encourages every believer to cultivate a daily lifestyle of worship, discovering that as we draw near to God in the ordinary moments of life, He faithfully draws near to us.

Ready to take things to the next level? In this message, Pastor Jamie Nunnally shares how focusing on worship can help you level up in your spiritual growth.Worship is devotion expressed.The word used in Greek literally means "to kiss the hand, in token of reverence". Worship is doing something that honors God and demonstrates your love and devotion for Him.Attention – Affection - ActionIf you're doing nothing, you're not worshipping.We are wired for worship. You will worship someone or something. You might as well choose for yourself who you worship, and not allow your devotion to be hijacked by current culture. Why do we use music?God has chosen music as a means of spiritual communication. There is spiritual information in songs. If its true in the positive, then its true in the negative. Music by itself is not worship, it's the vehicle that can take your heart into worship.2 Kings 3:15 ESV Music can usher in the presence of God.2 Chronicles 5:13-14 NLT Music is an incredible gift from God. It captures and releases emotion. Music carries spiritual messages. Worship should be done wholeheartedly, not halfheartedly.Psalm 86:12 ESV Isaiah 29:13 NIVOur worship service shouldn't just be lip service. Watching people worship God is not the same as worshipping God. Worship should be done in spirit and in truth.John 4:23 "But the time is coming—indeed it's here now—when true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and in truth. The Father is looking for those who will worship him that way."Worshipping in spirit and truth is without pretense, with authenticity, honesty, and sincerity. Come to God as you really are. Of the 150 Psalms, 42 are "laments" where the author is struggling with life and is asking tough questions. Some are even "imprecatory."We try to fake it with people, but don't try to fake it with God. He heard you think up that lie in your head. Worship should be a sacrifice.Romans 12:1 NIVWhether we're singing a song or saying no to sin, our obedience is an act of worship. Don't give God something that doesn't cost you. True worship will cost you your comfort, your dignity, your fear. Don't give God your leftover worship. Worship is done many ways, and one doesn't replace the others.Ephesians 5:18b-19 ...be filled with the Holy Spirit, 19 singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs among yourselves, and making music to the Lord in your hearts.Two main divisions here:1. Corporate worship (done in a group)Psalms: scripture Hymns: church songs that people knowSpiritual songs: new songs from the Spirit 2. Personal worship (done in private)Making music in your hearts "Worship is simply giving God His breath back." – Louie Giglio Are you using worship to level up?

This episode originally aired on March 21st, 2021. Dave Hardy joins us to talk about worship. Bro. Hardy defines worship as “Worship is the voluntary humbling of one person, physically and spiritually, in order to exalt another.”Many churches have a worship service at 11 am on Sunday morning. But going by the definition of the word, perhaps not much worship is actually happening.Bro. Hardy talks to us about how to incorporate worship into the church service and, even more foundational, into our personal lives.You can find Dave Hardy's book Worship and the Ear of God on Amazon.Join the conversation on our Facebook pageEmail us at notthepastorpodcast@gmail.comFind more from Nathan Auxer at nathanauxer.comMusic:Inspiring Advertising by Rafael KruxLink: https://filmmusic.io/song/5515-inspiring-advertising-License: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/

Today on The Orthodox Ethos Podcast:Part Three of our three part Interview with the Professor of Dogmatic Theology at the University of Thessaloniki, Demetrios Tselengides, in which he addresses: - The criterion of the heart and the enlightening guidance of the Holy Spirit, in the discernment of sprits, - The interpenetration of dogma and life, and the unity of the Way, the Truth and the Life- And, the move from repentance to confession in practice - that Christ, that is, Divine Communion, is Life- - - -01:02: Question #1: How can the faithful be so bold as to follow the Holy Fathers?03:07: They all had the criterion of the heart03:35: An example of the simple faithful following the Holy Fathers06:40: Live according to His will and He will inform you07:43: Question #2: What is the Presupposition for standing aright?08:00: The Example of the First Oecumenical Council00:09:51: Truth lived existentially brings spiritual understanding10:20: Question #3: Is this a dogmatic issue? Is disobedience justified?10:50: Alliloperichoresis: Dogma and Life are Inseparable11:58: No event in the Church is unrelated to the Life and Truth of Christ13:37: The So-called "Home Church"14:35: Question #4: Is there such a thing as "Private Worship"?15:02: Choosing between Life or death?23:33: Question #4: Repentance leads to Confession of Faith25:48: Question #5: What is there is no leadership or guides?-------Biographical Details: Professor Tselengidis' depth of knowledge, his education and studies, and his diligent research and labor have made him an internationally renowned academic theologian of Orthodox Dogmatic Theology. His most important offering and characteristic, however, is his work's fidelity to the Holy Tradition and the Deposit of the Holy Fathers, a faithfulness he acquired by following experiential theologians of our day, such as Saints Paisios of Mt. Athos and Ephraim of Katounakia. He considers himself a humble minister, always emphasizing the absolute interrelation of right doctrine with the right way of life, distancing himself from the creation of a sterile and cold academic discourse. He is the author countless articles and seven books on Dogmatic Theology, covering a wide range of topics, including the theology of the icon, grace and freedom, critical studies of the doctrine of salvation in Luther and the satisfaction of divine justice in Anslem of Canterbury, the Soteriology of Western Christianity, and the presuppositions and criteria of Orthodox Theology. Through his many lectures, articles, and appeals to the hierarchy on pressing ecclesiastical matters such as the Orthodox-Roman Catholic, and Orthodox-Anti-Chalcedonian Dialogues, the documents of the Cretan council, and the Ukrainian schism Professor Tselingides has given much courage and consolation to the faithful. - - - Utilize the Orthodox Ethos Podcast Interactive Transcripts!: -- https://oe-transcripts.now.sh*For all who would like to support The Orthodox Ethos, donations can be made via Paypal at the following link: -- http://paypal.me/FrPeterHeersShare and Subscribe to the OE YOUTUBE CHANNEL: https://www.youtube.com/c/OrthodoxEthosOE WEBSITE: https://orthodoxethos.comUNCUT MOUNTAIN PRESS (UMP) Website:https://www.uncutmountainpress.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/frpeterheers Twitter: https://twitter.com/frpeterheersInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/frpeterheers/ Amazon Author Page: https://www.amazon.com/-/e/B00Y938IQ2 Postcards from Greece Podcast: https://saintkosmas.com/heers-postcards-from-greece/ Academia: https://hts.academia.edu/FrPeterHeersDThLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/frpeterheers/
