How do we pursue God on His terms?

Crystal Rivers | Word for Now | Oct 27, 2025 In the spiritual realm, numbers function as more than mere quantities—they serve as divine measurements, spiritual addresses, and activation codes for heavenly operations. When you encounter specific numbers in scripture, particularly in prophetic books like Revelation, you're witnessing the language of spiritual architecture. Consider how your spiritual life operates with precise measurements. Just as Noah's ark required exact dimensions to become a portal of salvation, your devotional practices carry specific weights and measures. When you dedicate twenty minutes to prayer, you may be meeting a spiritual threshold that releases peace. When you maintain discipline for seven days or twenty-one days, you align with patterns that unlock divine revelations, much like Daniel's experiences. The story of Job reveals this principle powerfully. His possessions—seven sons and three daughters, seven thousand sheep and three thousand camels, five hundred oxen and five hundred donkeys—weren't random prosperity. These numbers represented a divine hedge, a spiritual canopy built through consistent priesthood and sacrifice. Job's daily intercession for his children created measurable spiritual protection that Satan couldn't penetrate until a specific season of testing arrived. Understanding this, recognize that Satan's assault on Job stemmed from terror—not mere malice. Job's expanding spiritual authority threatened to engulf an entire region, removing the enemy's foothold. The accusation wasn't merely about suffering; it questioned the purity of devotion itself: Do you serve God for who He is, or for what He provides? This question remains central to your spiritual journey. Your love for the divine must transcend material benefits. When trials come—and they will—they often arrive at promotion thresholds, testing whether your worship remains pure when everything else is stripped away. In Revelation, numbers like 144,000 aren't census data but spiritual operations. The recurring "third" throughout the trumpets isn't a fraction but a force of provocation—something that seizes attention and demands immediate response, like a trumpet blast calling to war. When you read about "a third of the stars falling," understand this as describing those who were provoked and deceived away from their divine calling, not a mathematical portion of angels. The number 3.5 appears repeatedly—42 months, 1,260 days, "time, times, and half a time"—each pointing to a complete spiritual cycle, a fullness of divine timing rather than literal chronology. These patterns reveal how heaven measures spiritual operations differently than earth measures time. Your spiritual disciplines create similar patterns. Perhaps your breakthrough number is five thousand—whether in prayer minutes, scripture verses, or seeds sown. These aren't superstitions but divine synchronicities. When you consistently meet these spiritual measurements, you activate angelic assistance and divine intervention. The key is discerning what the Spirit is saying, not imposing meaning where none exists. Remember: every spot and wrinkle in your spiritual garment provides potential access to the accuser. This isn't about perfectionism but about intentional consecration. As you grow in spiritual stature, the disciplines that once challenged you become natural expressions of your transformed nature. The yoke breaks not through struggle but through growth—through becoming too spiritually substantial for old limitations to contain. Your calling demands vigilance against deception, especially as you pursue Christ-likeness. The enemy's most sophisticated attacks target those destined for spiritual authority. Yet through patient endurance, pure devotion, and understanding of divine measurements, you build an impenetrable hedge—not through human effort but through alignment with heaven's mathematics. The ultimate message: Pursue holiness not for reward but for relationship. Understand that heaven operates by measurements and weights that manifest in earthly patterns. When you align your life with these divine rhythms—through consistent prayer, sacrifice, and devotion—you participate in operations that transcend natural limitation and release supernatural transformation.

In Pursue Righteousness and Kindness, Whitney Hopler reflects on Proverbs 21:21 and reveals how righteousness and kindness are designed to work hand in hand in the life of a believer. Too often, we separate the two—valuing truth over grace or compassion over conviction—but Scripture reminds us that real holiness comes from their balance. True righteousness isn’t rigid, and true kindness isn’t weak; together, they mirror the heart of Jesus, who perfectly embodied both truth and love in every word and action. Highlights Proverbs 21:21 connects righteousness and kindness as virtues meant to be pursued together. Righteousness without kindness can lead to self-righteousness and harshness. Kindness without righteousness can turn into people-pleasing and compromise. Jesus modeled perfect balance—He stood firmly for truth while showing compassion to sinners. Pursuing both virtues leads to spiritual growth, deeper relationships, and the fullness of life God promises. Living with both conviction and compassion points others toward God’s truth and love.

Discussion QuestionsSermon Overview Pursue a God-pleasing righteousness from the heart, including in your marriageI. The righteousness God seeks is from the heart (vv. 14-15)II. The kingdom Jesus brings fulfills the law but does not relax righteousness (vv. 16-17)III. God's enduring desire for righteousness is shown in his enduring instruction about marriage (v. 18)Digging Deeper    Read Luke 16:14-181. In the sermon, righteousness is “being right, doing right, before God.” The righteousness God is seeking is righteousness from the heart. What's the difference between being righteous just on the outside (like the Pharisees) and being righteous from the heart?2. Have you ever found yourself resisting a teaching in the Bible, only to later realize (or experience a sense of conviction from the Holy Spirit) that it is a truth that was pressing on something you were loving as a rival to God?  Please share.3. If you were to be honest, is there an area of your life where you are settling for outward conformity (a merely external righteousness)?  What might be a good step toward pursuing change in this area of your life?4. After hearing this sermon, how might you respond to someone who thinks they can live however they want because Jesus counts us as righteous through trust in him?5. Jesus didn't come to make righteousness unnecessary, but rather to make it possible.  What does that mean?  Do you find this truth encouraging?  How so? MARRIAGEIn our culture, the starting point for thinking about marriage is often self-fulfillment: my wants, my needs, my goals. It's easy to miss God's design for marriage, which is a covenant to which we must be faithful, a union that is only broken with great trauma, and a picture of God's love and faithfulness. It is, therefore, not surprising that so many fail to see the grievousness of divorce as God does. 6. How can we speak and act about marriage so that those around us are pointed toward God's good design of marriage?7. This passage urges us to “Pursue a God-pleasing righteousness from the heart, including in (our) marriages.”  If you're married, what would this practically look like?8. Given your marital situation and background, what was one takeaway from this sermon God might want you to remember in the days ahead? Prayer

Malachi 2:10-16 We are continuing in the book of Malachi. This morning we'll be covering chapter 2 verses10-16. Please turn there. You can find it on page 954 in the pew Bible. This is our fourth of eight sermons in Malachi. It's a short book. It only has 4 chapters, but as you have seen already, it packs a punch. Malachi's prophecy began with a reminder of God's electing love for Israel. But then God turns to the ways in which they have been unfaithful in response. The overall theme of the book is God's faithfulness and Israel's unfaithfulness. And we will see that clearly in our text this morning. The people were demonstrating a lack of faith in God because of unfaithfulness in their marriages. Reading of Malachi 2:10-16 Prayer There is one relationship in life that is more important than any other. This relationship requires dedication. It's a relationship built on forgiveness. It's one where if you are not seeking to honor the one with whom you are in this relationship with, then you will struggle. Your path will be filled with difficulty. This relationship is that important. I'm talking about your relationship with the Lord. Some of you probably thought that I was going to say, “your relationship with your spouse.” Right? After all, a marriage relationship is critically important. But your relationship with the Lord is more important. It's tempting to see our text this morning as only applying to marriage. After all, it has plenty to say about marriage, and we're going to get there. However, this passage is ultimately about your faith in the creator God. So, whether you are married or not, you are directed to draw near to the Lord by faith. I don't know if you noticed it, but the word “faithless” is used here 5 times. Look at verse 10. After asking a couple of rhetorical questions, which we'll get to, it says, “why then are we faithless to one another.” Then immediately in verse 11. “Judah has been faithless.” Judah was the southern kingdom which was exiled, some of whom had returned. So in other words, God was calling them faithless. Now go down to verse 14. In the middle there it says, “…the Lord was witness between you and the wife of your youth, to whom you have been faithless.” That is repeated at the end of 15. “Let none of you be faithless to the wife of your youth.” In those instances, it is faithless to their spouse. And finally, this passage ends with this, “so guard yourselves in your spirit, and do not be faithless.” So, faithless. Their faithless actions and faithlessness in their marriages, displayed a faithlessness before God. To give a little structure this morning, we'll consider this in 4 points. 1. Faithless before a Faithful God (2:10–11a) 2. Faithless with a Faithless Bride (2:11b–12) 3. Faithless to a Faithful Bride (2:13–16) 4. Faithful despite a Faithless Bride Those may be hard to remember, but they are printed there on page 4. 1. Faithless before a Faithful God (2:10–11a) So again, #1, Faithless before a faithful God. Verse 10 and the first half of verse 11 begin by emphasizing their covenant relationship with God and therefore with one another. The two questions there in 10 direct them to God. Malachi asks “Have we not all one Father? Has not one God created us?” They already know the answer. Yes, he is God their Father. Yes, they are his children. And yes, he is their creator. Those questions are to remind them of who God is;  who they are; and the centrality of his relationship with them. You see, before God speaks into the tangled mess of their marriage relationships, he first directs them to himself. He also directs them to one another. That is because their faithless actions not only reflected their faithlessness before God. But it also reflected on their faithlessness with one another. In other words, because they were in a covenant relationship with God together, anyone who broke that covenant with God, was being faithlessness toward one another. And anyone breaking the covenant with one another, was being faithless before God. By the way, we are going to get very practical in just a couple of minutes. But before we get there, it's critical to first understand why breaking the covenant was an act of faithlessness. It says that by their actions, they were “profaning the covenant.” That's  a strong statement Let me say a couple things about it: ·      The reference to covenant here includes the promises that God made to Noah, Abraham, Moses, and David. God established a relationship with them as his people. He called them to be his. He gave them his law. He promised them a kingdom and that they would be a people as numerous as the sands of the sea. They were set apart by the God of all creation. It was a beautiful thing. ·      But they “profaned” the covenant relationship. They profaned it because they were dishonoring God by violating the relationship that he had established with them. They had been breaking his commands. Rather than acting in faith, some had been rejecting the covenant promises that God had given them. So, it was serious. That's why it says in 11 that they had been faithless. They had been faithless to God and faithless to one another. Now, I want to say one more thing before we get to the heart of this passage about marriage. In the middle of verse 11 it says that they profaned the “sanctuary of the Lord.” At the heart of the word translated “sanctuary” is the word set apart. Some believe this is a reference to God's covenant people. They were profaning one another. And I think that's right. It goes along with two things. First, verse 10 had just said that they were faithless to one another. And second, immediately after saying they had profaned the sanctuary, it says, “which he loves.” Remember from the opening verses of chapter 1. God loves his people. In summary, their sin broke faith with God and with one another. Sometimes we don't think about that. Our sin is not only a sin against God it is sin against the covenant community. No matter our sin, it affects the community, sometimes in a more direct way, which we will see here, or sometimes indirectly. Either way, it was breaking fellowship with God and with one another. Ok, then, but what was it? What sin had they committed which was an abomination to God and which was faithless to one another? Well, they had been violating God's sacred establishment of covenant marriage. They were violating it in two ways: First, many had been marrying people outside of the covenant. And second, many had been unlawfully divorcing their spouses. 2. Faithless with a Faithless Bride (2:11b–12) Which brings us to points 2 and 3 about those two things. About unholy marriage and unlawful divorce. Point 2 is this: Faithless with a Faithless Bride. They were being covenantally unfaithful because they were marrying outside of the faith. Right there at the end of 11. They had “married the daughter of a foreign God.” Verse 12 points the finger at some men who were doing this When the exiles were in Babylon, all around them were not just Babylonians but also other nations that Babylon had conquered and brought to Babylon. The temptation was to intermarry with those outside of God's covenant people. But even when they were back in Jerusalem, there were now people from other kingdoms. Part of the temptation was marrying into the people group who was in control in order to improve their plight. Now, whether it was just an attraction to someone outside of the covenant community or whether it was for economic gain, either way, it was an abomination, as God says. And let me be very clear. This is not about race. There is nothing in the Bible that prohibits marriage between people from different ethnic backgrounds or people groups. Rather, this is about marrying outside of God's covenant community. That is very clear at the end of verse 11, “the daughter of a foreign God.” Plus, we have several examples of women who were originally outside of God's covenant community, but who became part of the covenant, and then married an Israelite. Think of Ruth. Ruth was a Moabite woman who was joined the covenant community and then married Boaz. Rahab is another example. She was a Cannanite, whom God spared from the destruction of Jericho because of her faith. She married Salmon. The admonition for us is to only marry someone who shares our faith in Christ. Let me take a moment to speak to those of you who are not married – young and old. Not everyone is called to be married. The apostle Paul wasn't married, and he makes it clear that there are blessings to being single. But many of you have the desire to be married. Younger kids, I want to make sure you are listening as well. Marriage may be far from your mind right now. You may be thinking “eww, marriage.”  But that will likely change. So, listen as well. If you decide to get married, the most important thing is to marry someone who shares your faith in Christ. It's God's command to marry in the Lord. The world says that love is not a choice. It says that when love finds you, no matter with whom, you cannot say “no.” But don't buy the lie. Don't mix up attraction with love. Love is a choice. Yes, you should be attracted to someone you want to marry, but that person needs to share your faith and commitment to your Lord and Savior. There is no such thing as missionary dating. Do you hear me? You are playing with fire if you are dating someone who you think you can win over to Christ. It's the Holy Spirit job to change someone's heart. Don't go there. The most important relationship you have is with the Lord and if you can't share that with your spouse, it is difficult and comes with consequences. I know several godly people who are married to unbelievers, and they would confirm that struggle. Sometimes that happens because one spouse comes to faith in Christ after getting married. Praise the Lord. If that happens, the struggle is still there. If you are in that situation, stay married. As the Scriptures say, so that you may win over your spouse. But sometimes someone young in his or her faith marries an unbeliever. It's only later that the person realizes the sin of it and how difficult it is. God forgives and he helps. If that is you, stay married and continue to pray for your unbelieving spouse to believe. And we will pray along with you. But for those of you who are not married, I plead with you, if you marry, marry a Godly man or woman who loves the Lord and his Word. Not just someone who says they are a Christian, but someone who demonstrates their faith and Love for the Lord. These verses are saying that marrying outside of God's covenant community demonstrates faithlessness. The consequences are difficult. 3. Faithless to a Faithful Bride (2:13–16) Which brings us to the other thing that they were doing. Many were unlawfully divorcing their spouses. This is point 3. Faithless to a Faithful Bride. As we already saw, twice it mentions unfaithfulness to the wife of their youth. These men had made a covenant commitment to these women, yet they were walking away from their marriages. We're not told, but perhaps some of them were the ones who then married outside of the covenant community. Before I go on, I want to be sensitive to the burdens and pain in this room from past marriages. Some of you have endured difficult marriages that have failed. Perhaps your marriage failed because of your own sin or perhaps your spouse's or perhaps both of you. Whatever the situation, it's hard and there's often relational fallout beyond the breaking of that marriage covenant. But I want you to know that God is merciful and forgiving. As you look back and either recognize your own complicity or you feel the hurt of being sinned against, know that God forgives and ministers his grace. To be sure, God's mercy and forgiveness is never to be a justification for an unbiblical divorce. The Scriptures are clear about divorce. Jesus spoke of divorce being permissible when sexual infidelity has occurred. Elsewhere abandonment is included. I would include abuse as a form of abandonment. These grievous sins are the only grounds for divorce. What was happening in Jerusalem is that marriages were being annulled because a spouse no longer cared to be married. And because of it, God no longer heard them or received their offerings, verse 13. They were weeping because of God not receiving them. It was not a godly grief that led to repentance, but rather just a groaning because of the consequences. In verse 14, they ask, “why has he not?” Why does God no longer accept us? By the way, this is the Malachi pattern, remember. They were reaping the consequences of their sin but didn't acknowledge their sin. And so the hammer drops again. Two weeks ago the hammer dropped on their polluted offerings. Last week it dropped on the corrupt priests. And here, it's back to the people, some of whom were faithless by divorcing their spouses without warrant. But they had made a covenant with their spouse. The Lord was a witness to that covenant commitment. And look at verse 15. “Did he [that is, God] not make them one, with a portion of the Spirit in their union?” They were united to one another in marriage. It's a reference back to Genesis 1. God was actively present in bringing about that oneness. So by abandoning their marriage, they were abandoning God. And not only that, they were abandoning God's call for them to raise their children to know the Lord. As the middle of 15 says, God desires “Godly offspring.” It would be a downward spiral of faithless future generations. Now, not every husband or wife was walking away from their marriage. But even some who were still married were considering divorce. We know that because it says, “guard yourself in your spirit and let none of you BE faithless.” The verse before said some of them “have been faithless.” In other words, for the ones who were still in their covenant marriage, they were to guard their hearts and minds against going down the path of divorce. And, actually, did you notice that the phrase, “guard yourself in your spirit” is used twice. Once in verse 15 and second in verse 16. Ok, let me now speak to those who are married. Some of your marriages are struggling. And I probably only know the half of it. Every marriage has its ups and downs, but some marriages have acute struggles for a variety of reasons. And it is hard. What is supposed to be the most intimate relationship on earth, is sometimes fraught with tension and mistrust and heartache because of current sin or past sin... which can lead to more sin and cause more tension and more mistrust and more heartache. If that is you, I want to say two things: 1. As it says here, “guard yourself in your spirit.” Do not let yourself wander to thoughts of divorce. Don't let go of the covenant that you made to your spouse. Pursue your spouse again. Recommit yourself to your marriage. There's a warning here of faithlessness if you pursue unbiblical divorce. So, guard your thoughts and your heart. 2. Number 2. There is help and there is hope. There is not a single elder here unwilling to help if your marriage is struggling. Please reach out. I will meet with you and pray with you, multiple times if necessary. We can also find help outside of our church if you would be more comfortable with that. But please reach out. If you do not think your marriage needs help, but your spouse does, let me encourage you to honor and listen to your spouse. Set aside whatever is preventing you from getting help. And do not lose hope. We serve a God who is in the business of forgiving and reconciling. The forgiveness and reconciliation that he gives you, individually, is the basis for forgiveness and reconciliation in you marriage. 4. Faithful despite a Faithless Bride Which is a nice transition to point 4. Faithful despite a Faithless Bride I'm not talking about a marriage between a man and a woman here. I am talking about the marriage between Christ and his church. Despite the unfaithfulness of God's people, his bride, God has remained faithful. The marriage paradigm is the pattern that God uses all throughout Scripture to convey his faithfulness despite our unfaithfulness. And this goes all the way back to the garden of Eden. When Adam and Eve sinned against God, when they ate of the forbidden fruit, their sin was spiritual adultery. They had been in a covenant relationship with God. He promised them life, but they turned against his promise of blessing and instead ate that which was forbidden. That spiritual adultery theme continues throughout the Scriptures. God's people were betrothed to God, but they forsook his name and committed spiritual adultery against him by going after other so-called gods from the surrounding nations. But as we read in Hosea 2 earlier in the service, despite the people's unfaithfulness, God promised that he would be faithful. He promised to be their husband who would protect and lead them in righteousness and justice. They would once again be called his people and they would call him their God. This is the pattern over and over in the Old Testament. The people forgot the Lord. They acted in adulterous ways like the people here in Jerusalem. Yet God was merciful… and just like here, he called them back to himself. And the climax of this marriage paradigm in Scripture… is found in Christ. He not only sought his bride, the church, but as we read earlier in Ephesians 5, he died for her. There is no greater love. He sanctifies and cleanses her. By giving his church his righteousness, Christ presents her pure and spotless. SO not only is he faithful despite her unfaithfulness, he makes her faithful. And he nourishes and cherishes her and leads her. And all of that will come to full fruition when he returns for the consummation of the great spiritual wedding. He will usher his people, his bride, into the wedding supper of the Lamb forever. Beloved, this is the reason that marriage is sacred. Marriage on earth is patterned after the union between God and his people. It is why a Christian should only marry a Christian. It is why God hates divorce. It is why those who are married should fight for their marriage and not against it. It is why in a marriage relationship you should love and forgive just as Christ loved you and forgave you. It is why a husband has been called to be the spiritual leader in his marriage and home. It is a sacrificial leading. Again, as Ephesians 5 said, husbands love your wives as Christ loved the church and died for her. The people in Jerusalem didn't have this full picture, yet. They didn't yet know of what was to come. But as we will find out in these next 2 chapters, God is going to lift the curtain and give them a glimpse of what was soon to come for them. In the meantime, they were to return in faith to God by returning in faithfulness to their covenant marriages. For those who desire one day to be married, seek Godly spouses by faith in Christ. And for those who are married, pursue and love our spouses because God has pursued and loved you. For all of us, may we see the beauty and wonder of our bridegroom, Christ. And because of his love and faithfulness to us, may we seek to be faithful in return to him.  

1 Timothy 6:6-12 NLTYet true godliness with contentment is itself great wealth. After all, we brought nothing with us when we came into the world, and we can't take anything with us when we leave it. So if we have enough food and clothing, let us be content. But people who long to be rich fall into temptation and are trapped by many foolish and harmful desires that plunge them into ruin and destruction. For the love of money is the root of all kinds of evil. And some people, craving money, have wandered from the true faith and pierced themselves with many sorrows. … so run from all these evil things. Pursue righteousness and a godly life, along with faith, love, perseverance, and gentleness. Fight the good fight for the true faith.A consistent theme throughout Scripture is placing focus on God, His goodness, and His grace while staying away from the attraction of the world and sin. Simply reading the news every day gives us plenty of evidence that money and power do not make people happy and content. Suicide, depression, anxiety, and the like have little to do with the state of income but rather the state of mind.Let's do an honest inventory. Knowing that ‘money' represents security, prestige, pleasure. What is an area of your life that your focus has been the ‘craving' of money, and what it represents, as the scripture calls it?Listen once again, this time focusing only on the “do” verses, not the “dont's”: Yet true godliness with contentment is itself great wealth. After all, we brought nothing with us when we came into the world, and we can't take anything with us when we leave it. So if we have enough food and clothing, let us be content. … Pursue righteousness and a godly life, along with faith, love, perseverance, and gentleness. Fight the good fight for the true faith. (1 Timothy 6:6-12 NLT)As we often talk about here, focusing only on the dont's is not sustainable. We need to replace the dont's with the do's. Can you focus today on pursuing these things, not just staying away from the temptations of wealth? Pursue righteousness, love, perseverance, gentleness?Let's pray: “Father, teach me to be content. Help me to pursue righteousness, faith, love, perseverance, and gentleness as I fight the good fight for my faith in You. As above, so below.”

In a world divided by opinions, Paul reminds us in Romans 14 that the church was never meant to be uniform, but unified. In this week's message, Pastor Jamie Grisham shares a powerful word on “Unity Without Uniformity.” From the early church in Rome to our world today, we're reminded that:• Differences aren't defects, they're design.• Disagreement doesn't have to mean division.• Convictions are personal, not weapons.God intentionally built His Church with different backgrounds, strengths, and perspectives to reveal His fullness. When love opens the door, the lost walk in—and unity births revival. Key Takeaways:• Don't judge where someone has freedom.• Don't flaunt freedom where someone has conviction.• Choose people over preference.• Pursue peace and build each other up.Romans 14:19 — “Let us pursue the things which make for peace and the things by which one may edify another.”Watch now and discover how to live in unity, walk in grace, and reflect the love of Christ in every difference.FOLLOW US!WEBSITE: https://www.compassiondickson.church/FACEBOOK: https://www.facebook.com/compassiondicksonINSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/compassionchurchdickson?igsh=eXp3Mm9ubG81aTQx&utm_source=qrSunday Extended Podcast: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLRTsMFJ4TR5xa0PahwBjfzWK772IOi9G8&si=lsIu5iqaQwl79Jwj

What does this teach us about prophecy in the church?Prophecy existsNT Prophecy does not stand equally with the Scriptures.NT Prophecy is for: Edification & Strength, Conviction, Comfort, Bold ProclamationWe need to be extreme careful with the gift of prophecyEarnestly Desire Prophecy: 1 Corinthians 14:1 “Pursue love, and earnestly desire the spiritual gifts, especially that you may prophesy.” Because prophecy helps us understand the Lordship of Jesus more clearlyBecause prophecy is a good gift that God gives to bless His ChurchBecause prophecy is a way that we can be used by God in a meaningful waySo,Pray God would give you the gift of prophecyPray that God would give others the gift of prophecy for the building up of the churchPursue prophecy by prayerfully opening yourself up to receive the gift, with humble willingness to fail as you learn. Our church is a safe space.Remember the NT gift of prophecy is about Jesus, not you.

There are three words that the enemy would tell you are words of doubt but are actually words of faith. You might believe these three words show weakness and foolishness, but instead, they show strength and godly wisdom. They sound like heresy to religious people, but they sound like refreshing honesty to people who are searching for answers. This week, we’re talking about those three words — I don’t know — and how we can constantly pursue Jesus without ever fully understanding Him. Why? Because the things of eternity can’t be contained in the things of earth. God’s ways and thoughts are higher than ours, but being honest and humble enough to say those words can help us grow closer to Him.

What story are you writing that you'll be proud to tell your grandkids? In this milestone 100th episode, discover the decision-making framework that transforms how you approach every choice in your dental practice and life.After six years and 100 episodes, Dr. Allison House and Shawn Zajas step back from clinical techniques to explore something more profound: the legacy we're creating through the courage we demonstrate and the authenticity we express. What begins as a conversation about preserving loved ones' voices on old cassettes evolves into a revolutionary framework for decision-making that cuts through fear, overthinking, and playing small.The core insight? Live your life in a way that you're actually proud to tell your grandkids. This simple question becomes a powerful filter for choices both personal and professional in dental practice. Should you speak up about that ethical concern? Pursue that innovative treatment approach? Redesign your practice to align with your values? Ask yourself: What story am I creating?Dr. House shares the profound experience of hearing her late father's voice on coaching videos from the 1990s—a reminder that the wisdom and authenticity we express today become the inheritance we leave tomorrow. This vulnerable moment opens a broader conversation about how dental professionals can ensure their legacy extends beyond clinical excellence to encompass the whole person they've become.The episode tackles a powerful truth revealed by someone facing mortality: "I didn't regret anything that I did. I regretted things that I didn't do." This becomes a clarion call for dental professionals to step off the sideline, share their message imperfectly, and live authentically even when outcomes are uncertain. Whether you're experiencing dental burnout, questioning your path, or simply wondering if there's more to practice than production numbers, this conversation offers clarity through the legacy lens.✨ KEY TAKEAWAYS:• The "Grandkids Framework" for decision-making: Before major choices, ask "How will I explain this to my grandchildren?" - transforms ethical dilemmas, career pivots, and practice decisions [6:33]• We don't regret what we tried and failed at; we regret dreams never pursued - reframes risk-taking in dental practice and authentic leadership [8:37]• "Cheap lessons vs. expensive lessons": Learning to pivot, persist, and stay authentic costs less early in your career than building a practice you'll need to redesign later [13:36]• The compound effect of showing up: Six years and 100 episodes later, meaningful impact exists simply because they made the decision to begin imperfectly [16:47]• Your patients are full of wisdom and stories - creating space for authentic connection transforms practice dynamics and professional fulfillment [0:41]

That's precisely the mission of Dr. Jacques Jospitre, the co-founder and CEO of SohoMD, which is transforming mental health care by combining holistic, clinical evaluations with modern medicine.Dr. Jospitre notes that today's medical system is often fragmented and rushed, leaving patients feeling frustrated and stuck. “When you dig deep, you get to some root problems, and more importantly, you get to some real solutions to help patients feel better,” he explained. SohoMD takes the time to perform thorough evaluations, examining factors like nutritional deficiencies, endocrine imbalances, and past traumas alongside psychiatric symptoms. This approach allows them to create highly effective treatment plans tailored to each patient.Improving mental health care requires a fresh approach, one that goes beyond treating symptoms to address root causes. That's precisely the mission of Dr. Jacques Jospitre, the co-founder and CEO of SohoMD, which is transforming mental health care by combining holistic, clinical evaluations with modern medicine.Dr. Jospitre notes that today's medical system is often fragmented and rushed, leaving patients feeling frustrated and stuck. “When you dig deep, you get to some root problems, and more importantly, you get to some real solutions to help patients feel better,” he explained. SohoMD takes the time to perform thorough evaluations, examining factors like nutritional deficiencies, endocrine imbalances, and past traumas alongside psychiatric symptoms. This approach allows them to create highly effective treatment plans tailored to each patient.One key element of their success is SohoMD's ability to identify overlooked issues in patients who are thought to be “treatment resistant.” Instead of relying solely on prescriptions, the team looks deeper to uncover problems like vitamin deficiencies or thyroid dysfunction that mimic mental health conditions. “A good portion of people thought to be treatment resistant aren't resistant at all—they just need a more thorough evaluation,” Jacques shared.The results speak for themselves. Jacques revealed that over 80% of patients in this group see significant improvements under SohoMD's care. These outcomes, combined with their emphasis on addressing both biological and psychological factors, have led to increased patient satisfaction and trust.Now, SohoMD is ready to scale its innovative model across the country. To accelerate its growth, the company is raising funds on WeFunder, inviting the public to join this mission-driven journey. Jacques emphasized the importance of aligning with investors who prioritize patient care over profit. “We wanted to invite the community to be part of this process…where the clinical goals of helping patients achieve true improvement always come first.”This episode highlights the transformative potential of holistic mental health care. By addressing root causes and involving the community in its growth, SohoMD is setting a powerful example for how health care can—and should—be done.tl;dr:SohoMD provides holistic mental health care, addressing root causes like nutrition and hormones alongside symptoms.Dr. Jacques Jospitre explained how their approach improves outcomes for “treatment resistant” patients.Over 80% of these patients see significant improvements under SohoMD's thorough care model.The company is scaling rapidly across the U.S. and raising funds via WeFunder to expand further.Jacques shared his superpower of simplifying complexity and tips for developing this critical skill.How to Develop Simplifying Complexity As a SuperpowerJacques described his superpower as the ability to simplify complex ideas and take action on them. He shared, “I think my superpower is taking things that are very complicated and simplifying them and taking action on it.” This includes connecting ideas across diverse fields like neuroscience, functional medicine, and business to build practical, effective solutions. His innate curiosity and love for learning have allowed him to integrate knowledge into SohoMD's holistic care model, creating meaningful change for patients.Illustrative Story:Jacques shared how his superpower emerged early in life through his diverse interests and connections. He reflected on his ability to build friendships across different backgrounds and perspectives, serving as a bridge between people who might not otherwise connect. This skill helped him foster collaboration and empathy—qualities he now uses to unite disciplines and create patient-centered mental health solutions at SohoMD.Tips for Developing the Superpower:Develop self-awareness through practices like meditation or journaling.Pursue diverse interests with genuine curiosity.Build empathy by forming connections with people from different backgrounds.Focus on integrating knowledge into actionable solutions.By following Jacques' example and advice, you can make simplifying complexity a skill. With practice and effort, you could make it a superpower that enables you to do more good in the world.Remember, however, that research into success suggests that building on your own superpowers is more important than creating new ones or overcoming weaknesses.

The Dean's List with Host Dean Bowen – Self-mastery is much harder than self-indulgence. The latter has become today's definition of what it means to pursue happiness. Our society's current beliefs tend more towards selfishness than self-government. The original intent of this pursuit is no longer understood. Virtue is no longer a part of our education...

Send us a textIn this episode, Pastor Dom continues to teach about the story of David. 1 Samuel 15:1-31 Samuel also said to Saul, “The Lord sent me to anoint you king over His people, over Israel. Now therefore, heed the voice of the words of the Lord. 2 Thus says the Lord of hosts: ‘I will punish Amalek for what he did to Israel, how he ambushed him on the way when he came up from Egypt. 3 Now go and attack Amalek, and utterly destroy all that they have, and do not spare them…1 Samuel 15:99 But Saul and the people spared (king)Agag and the best of the sheep, the oxen, the fatlings, the lambs, and all that was good, and were unwilling to utterly destroy them. But everything despised and worthless, that they utterly destroyed.1 Samuel 15:2222 …to obey is better than sacrifice,…1 Samuel 30:1-4Now it happened, when David and his men came to Ziklag, on the third day, that the Amalekites had invaded the South and Ziklag, attacked Ziklag and burned it with fire, 2  and had taken captive the women and those who were there, from small to great; they did not kill anyone, but carried them away and went their way.  3  So David and his men came to the city, and there it was, burned with fire; and their wives, their sons, and their daughters had been taken captive. 4 Then David and the people who were with him lifted up their voices and wept, until they had no more power to weep. 1 Samuel 30: 6 Now David was greatly distressed, for the people spoke of stoning him, because the soul of all the people was grieved, every man for his sons and his daughters. But David strengthened himself in the Lord his God.1 Thessalonians 5:1111 Therefore comfort each other and edify one another,…Ephesians 5:1919 Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord;Philippians 4:1313 I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.John 14:2727 Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.Matthew 11:2828 Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.Hebrews 13:55 … For He Himself has said, “I will never leave you nor forsake you.”1 Samuel 30:8 8 So David inquired of the Lord, saying, “Shall I pursue this troop? Shall I overtake them?”And He answered him, “Pursue, for you shall surely overtake them and without fail recover all.”1 Samuel 30:17 Then David attacked them from twilight until the evening of the next day…. 18 So David recovered all that the Amalekites had carried away,…1 Samuel 30:19 And nothing of theirs was lacking, either small or great, sons or daughters, spoil or anything which they had taken from them; David recovered all. Luke 6:46-4946 “But why do you call Me ‘Lord, Lord,' and not do the things which I say? 47 Whoever comes to Me, and hears My sayings and does them, I will show you whom he is like: 48 He is like a man building a house, who dug deep and laid the foundation on the rock. And when the flood arose, the stream beat vehemently against that house, and could not shake it, for it was founded (built) on the rock. 49 But he who heard and did nothing is like a man who built a house on the earth without a foundation, against which the stream beat vehemently; and immediately it fell (collapsed). And the ruin of that house was great.”Romans 8:3131 What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?

Highlights Every day is a gift from God, filled with opportunities to live intentionally. Pursue a righteous life marked by wonder, faith, love, steadiness, and courtesy (1 Tim. 6:11-12). Recognizing God’s work in our lives strengthens faith and inspires action. Living with intention helps us focus on what has eternal value, despite daily distractions. Running hard in faith brings us closer to Jesus and aligns our lives with His purpose. Join the Conversation What does “running hard and fast in faith” look like in your daily life?

Speaker: Rob BerrethScripture: Hebrews 12:14–17Episode Overview:The Christian life isn't a sprint—it's a lifelong race that requires endurance, focus, and grace. Hebrews 12:14–17 calls believers to run with purpose by striving for peace with everyone and pursuing holiness without which no one will see the Lord. This passage challenges us to live out the gospel by seeking reconciliation, growing in holiness, and avoiding the compromises that can derail our faith.Through this powerful exhortation, we're reminded that holiness is not something we achieve, but something we receive through Christ. Because of His grace, we can run with perseverance, guard our hearts from spiritual complacency, and finish the race well.Key Highlights:- Two Things to Strive For:1. Peace with everyone – Reflecting the reconciling heart of God in our relationships.2. Holiness in everything – Living out the identity already secured for us in Christ.- Three Things to Run From:1. An Isolated Life – Faith grows in community, not in solitude.
2. A Flippant Faith – Reject “cheap grace” that ignores repentance and discipleship.
3. A Short-Sighted Life – Don't trade eternal joy for temporary pleasure, as Esau did.- Gospel Foundation:Because Jesus has made us holy, we can pursue holiness and peace with confidence, knowing He sustains us to the end.Call to Action:Run your race with endurance and keep your eyes on the Lord. Pursue peace with those around you, walk in holiness, and guard your heart against the subtle drift of apathy or isolation. When you stumble, return quickly to Christ—your holiness, your peace, your hope. Don't run alone. Walk with others who will strengthen your faith and help you finish well.Redeemer Church211 Northshore Dr. Bellingham, WA 98226www.redeemernw.org
