Does God really hear the cries of those who are cheated, wronged, or overlooked? In his message centered on James 5:1–6, Pastor Josiah shares a powerful warning from James: selfish hoarding and dishonest gain may look like success in the world's eyes, but before God they will testify against us. Earthly riches corrode, unjust dealings oppress the vulnerable, and self-indulgence leads to judgment. Yet in Christ, there is an eternal treasure that moth and rust cannot destroy. For the oppressor, God's word declares judgment. For the oppressed, we can be comforted – God hears your cries and will bring the unrighteous to justice. And for all who believe, the gospel gives hope: true riches are found in Christ alone.

What do you do when you do everything you're asked, and it all falls apart? This is the powerful and often misunderstood story of Zion's Camp, and it teaches us timeless lessons about faith, finances, and preparing a people for Zion. Summary: In this episode, we dive into four pivotal sections of the Doctrine and Covenants. We begin with the organization of the Kirtland High Council in D&C 102, which provides a divine pattern for resolving "important difficulties" through "counsel in council" and seeking the Lord's mind. Next, we explore the call to organize Zion's Camp in D&C 103, where the Lord promises that "after much tribulation come the blessings". This journey of hardship and faith culminates in a surprising twist: the Lord disbands the camp, revealing a much deeper purpose. This leads us to the heart of the lesson in D&C 105. The Lord explains that the redemption of Zion had to be postponed because His people "have not learned to be obedient" and "are not united". He teaches that they must be "chastened until they learn obedience". This trial was a necessary preparation, designed to teach them "more perfectly" and to receive a promised "great endowment" of power. Finally, we discuss the Lord's counsel on welfare and finances in D&C 104. The Lord declares that it is His "purpose to provide for my saints," but it must be done "in mine own way". He reveals that "the earth is full, and there is enough and to spare," and that all who have abundance are merely stewards of His property. We also learn a powerful financial principle: to "pay all your debts" through "diligence and humility and the prayer of faith". This lesson reveals that becoming a Zion people is a process of sanctification—learning obedience and unity so we can lift up an ensign of peace and become worthy of the blessings promised.

Psalms 127:1 - Unless the Lord builds a house, the work of the builders is wasted. Unless the Lord protects a city, guarding it with sentries will do no good.

In this profound conversation, William Paul Young—author of The Shack—joins Dr. Catherine Toon to explore how God shows up in the very places we often try to escape: our pain, our confusion, and our chaos. Together, they unpack how transformation isn’t a lightning bolt from heaven, but a sacred, often spiral journey of revisiting wounds with God’s redeeming love. They explore the critical difference between grief and shame, the power of present-moment living, and how we’re invited to participate in—not control—God’s redemptive work in the world. This episode is a breath of fresh grace for anyone navigating deconstruction, burnout, trauma, or the ache of not knowing what's next. It’s a reminder that you’re not behind, not broken beyond repair, and never alone. Topics covered include: * God’s relentless presence in our darkest moments * Why transformation happens in spirals, not straight lines * Redeeming grief and silencing shame * Embracing your humanity as sacred * Letting go of grand callings and stepping into divine participation * The difference between knowing about God and knowing Him deeply Whether you're in the wilderness, at the edge of burnout, or rediscovering faith beyond formulas, this conversation will meet you right where you are—with healing, hope, and holy presence.

What fears or ambitions keep you from fully submitting your life to God's will? In his sermon, “Stop Playing God,” Pastor Josiah shows us how James 4:11-17 calls us to humble ourselves in full submission before God. As Christians we need to stop criticizing our brothers and sisters, stop pretending we control tomorrow, and start entrusting every part of our lives to the Lord's will. Our lives are but a vapor, and at the end of the day, only what is done in Christ will last. Because God alone is the final authority, we must quit playing God and joyfully submit our lives to Him.

Why do our desires so often leave us empty, even when they're fulfilled? In this week's message centered on James 4:1–10, Pastor Josiah unpacks both the problem and the promise regarding the difficulties we face in life. Our passions and worldly pursuits leave us restless, divided, and far from God. Yet God does not abandon us—but gives grace to the humble. In Christ, the true Bridegroom, we are invited to lay down our pride, resist the lies of the enemy, and draw near to the God who draws near to us. This passage is not just a warning but an invitation: to forsake the emptiness of the world and discover the joy of full devotion to Christ. What would it look like for you to go “all in” with Christ today?

Join us today as Jonathon Altizer delivers a message on Eternal Security, while giving us three points on The Redeeming Power of the Holy Spirit. Key Passage: Romans 7:21-8:4. August 31st 2025

After ending the last chapter with, what in many ways, is a summary statement, God then spoke to Moses specifically about vows. Vows done with sincerity are an acknowledgement of the sovereignty of God. Obedience to His commands was the sign of whether you were right with God, not whether you made vows. The laws about vows are given after the other laws, because you cannot buy favor with God. It is acceptable when you are in a difficult situation to make a bargain with God. These verses start to describe how the vow is paid, but the important thing to remember is, if you make a vow to God, pay it.

Visit https://www.economist.com/toe In this episode, I speak with Matthieu Pageau, author of The Language of Creation. This is a rare (and almost unbelievable) interview. With a high degree of likelihood, I can say that this interview, if watched all the way until the end, will change your life. Pageau argues that Satan is first a function—the tester and accuser—before a villain. Think Job's auditor or a hired penetration tester. When will-to-power takes over, the function falls. He lays out a symbolic grammar: heaven as plan, earth as materials. Water renews. The feminine crowns and renovates forms. Abraham and Moses act as faithful adversaries. Adam and Eve show what secrecy breaks. Borderline stories like Tamar and Ruth trace exile and redemption. Pageau speaks from his own exile, leaning Orthodox/Catholic, critiquing without grasping for power, and letting reality correct him.

In this thought-provoking conversation, Catherine Toon hosts Dr. Matt Pandel (psychologist and theologian) and Paul Young (author of The Shack), as they dive into the powerful themes of Matt’s newest book "Fractured Witness." This work boldly recognizes the Church’s (Ekklēsia’s) fractured legacy—how faith has been used to justify harm, and how true redemption calls us back to the real Jesus and the reality of what the Church was always meant to be. You’ll hear deeply personal stories, theological reflections, and honest critiques of systems that distort the face of God. From the misuse of scripture to the weaponization of religion, we are invited to sit in the discomfort—and from that sacred space, rediscover a gospel of relentless love, healing, and reconciliation, that can and is occurring through the evolving beautiful healthy church, the way she was meant to be. ✨ If you’ve been wounded by the Church or are seeking to reconcile faith with truth, justice, and compassion and practical suggestions operate in community as God’s life-giving Church, this episode is for you. A behavioral psychologist and theologian, Dr. Matt Pandel is first and foremost a communicator. Ordained in the Anglican/Episcopal tradition, he remains fiercely ecumenical, believing the Church is best when she honors all of the traditions and expressions from which she is formed. In addition to his work as President and Professor of Trinitarian Theology and Spiritual Direction at Global Grace Seminary, he maintains a private consulting practice and serves as a regional mental health policy advisor. He resides in the picturesque Shenandoah Valley of Virginia with his wife and best friend, Carrie.

Where do you turn for answers when life is hard? What type of wisdom is shaping your life or affecting your decisions? In his sermon, “Wisdom from Above” centered on James 3:13–18, Pastor Josiah unpacks the sharp contrast between false wisdom that is earthly, unspiritual, and demonic—and true wisdom that comes from God. Earthly wisdom seeks pride, ambition, and self-exaltation, but it inevitably leads to disorder and destruction. Godly wisdom, however, is marked by purity, gentleness, mercy, and peace. Most importantly, James shows us that true wisdom makes us peacemakers—sowing peace that produces a harvest of righteousness.This sermon reminds us that wisdom is not measured by intelligence or worldly success, but by a transformed heart that reflects Christ. Only by embracing the wisdom from above do we become the kind of people who strengthen the church, bring peace into broken relationships, and share the hope of the gospel with the world.

Redemption Hyperlink Episode (E11) — There are so many themes in the Bible, from redemption to exile, to mountains and cities. In every series, we attempt to isolate and study one biblical theme. But it's important to remember that biblical themes are woven together throughout the Bible like instruments in a symphony. Today in this hyperlink episode, we'll listen to clips from previous podcast series where the theme of redemption also came up in Jon and Tim's conversations.View all of our resources for Redemption →CHAPTERS Redemption and the Day of Atonement (0:00-30:24)Redeeming the Time (30:24-38:20)Redemption From the Grave (38:20-50:24)OFFICIAL EPISODE TRANSCRIPTView this episode's official transcript.REFERENCED RESOURCESClip 1 is from “What Is the Day of Atonement?,” episode 6 in our 2022 series, Leviticus Scroll.The Mythic Mind by Nicolas WyattSin, Impurity, Sacrifice, Atonement: The Priestly Conceptions by Jay SklarCult and Character: Purification Offerings, Day of Atonement, and Theodicy by Roy GaneClip 2 is from “Poetry Q+R,” episode 22 in our 2018 series How To Read the Bible.Clip 3 is from “What Happens After We Die?,” episode 3 in our 2017 series, Nephesh / Soul.Surprised by Hope: Rethinking Heaven, Resurrection, and the Mission of the Church by N.T.

If your words were placed on trial, what would they reveal about your faith? In this week's sermon, Alex Trotter unpacks James 3:1–12, confronting the sobering truth that our words reveal the condition of our hearts. The tongue, though small, wields extraordinary power—to bless or to destroy, to build up or to tear down. For those in Christ, speech becomes a mark of transformation: increasingly God-honoring, gracious, and edifying, not because of self-discipline alone but because Christ is reshaping the heart. Even when we fail, every careless and sinful word has been covered by the blood of Jesus. For those outside of Christ, however, the tongue exposes the futility of self-reform; apart from the cross, our words testify against us before a holy God. True hope for taming the tongue lies only in the transforming grace of Jesus Christ.Ultimately, this passage presses us to examine the fruit of our faith through the words we speak. Our speech is never neutral—it either confirms the reality of Christ at work in us or exposes our desperate need for Him. The cross of Christ is sufficient to forgive our failures and powerful enough to transform our tongues into instruments of praise. What difference would it make if every word you spoke was filtered through the cross of Christ?

Ephesians 5:16 - making the very most of your time [on earth, recognizing and taking advantage of each opportunity and using it with wisdom and diligence], because the days are [filled with] evil.

This sermon confronts one of the most sobering questions in Scripture: What kind of faith saves? In his sermon centered on James 2:14–26, Alex shows us that genuine faith is never alone—it produces the visible fruit of obedience. Works do not contribute to our justification before God, but they are the God-given evidence of a heart transformed by the Spirit. For the believer, this is both a call to self-examination and a comfort: God Himself works in us to will and to do for His good pleasure (Phil. 2:12–13). For the unbeliever, it is a gracious warning that mere profession without transformation is empty, and that Christ alone gives living faith that bears fruit in keeping with repentance.
