Nik's Links: https://linktr.ee/realbignikNik Keswani joins JT for a conversation about one of the most unlikely journeys to Jesus Christ.Before becoming known for his Christian content, Nik grew up practicing Hinduism, endured an incredibly difficult childhood filled with serious medical issues, became a massive star on Vine, moved to Los Angeles, and found himself immersed in the world of fame, money, partying and Hollywood culture.But the deeper Nik went into the rabbit hole—researching the occult, secret societies and the spiritual darkness behind the world around him—the more he began questioning everything he thought he knew about God.Eventually, that search led him somewhere he never expected: Jesus Christ.JT and Nik discuss his testimony, his experiences in Hollywood, the occult, spiritual warfare, fallen angels, the Nephilim, Hindu and Greek mythology, the Book of Enoch and other ancient texts, problems within the modern American church, Protestantism, Catholicism and Orthodoxy, Zionism, and why so many people who begin searching for the truth eventually find themselves confronting the claims of Jesus.This conversation goes deep.If you enjoy the podcast, please LIKE, SUBSCRIBE and SHARE.For early and uncensored episodes, check out the JT Follows JC Patreon. Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/jt-s-mix-tape--6579902/support.Please support our sponsor Modern Roots Life: https://modernrootslife.com/?bg_ref=rVWsBoOfcFPatreon: https://patreon.com/JT_Follows_JC?utm_medium=unknown&utm_source=join_link&utm_campaign=creatorshare_creator&utm_content=copyLinkJESUS SAID THERE WOULD BE HATERS: https://jtfollowsjc.com/product-category/mens-shirts/JT's Hats: https://jtfollowsjc.com/product-category/hats/Coaching Program: https://www.echoesoftruthnetwork.com/joinTelegram Group: https://t.me/jtsmixtapeNew Trucker Hat: https://www.shopmmca.com/shop/p/jt-follows-jc-hat

IntroductionThere can be a disconnect in the Christian life. We can become so focused on doctrine that we forget that we are called to live out the gospel. Or we can become so focused on living the Christian life that we lose sight of the doctrine that gives us the strength and assurance to live it.The Heidelberg Catechism Lord's Day 23 understands this tension. As we come to justification by faith, it essentially asks us, Is this doctrine really helpful? Is this something that actually benefits us? Does knowing that we are justified by faith make any difference in the Christian life?I think those are important questions. So, let's begin. Is This Helpful?The first thing we have to understand is the seriousness of our problem.Our problem is that we minimize sin. We sometimes like to think that if we can just clean up enough of the outward problems, we will be okay. Maybe we haven't done everything right, but we have done better than the person next to us. Maybe we have kept 99.99% of the commandments.But the problem is that sin is not merely a collection of bad behaviors. Sin is at the core of who we are. Our behavior or actions are merely the fruit of the deeper root problem. In the fall, humanity essentially told God, We don't want your order. We don't want your holiness. We don't want you ruling over us. We were exiled from Eden, and God gave us what we wanted. And that leaves us in a desperate position.We see this even in some of the great saints of Scripture. Jacob spent much of his life trying to accomplish the promises of God in his own strength. He wrestled with God and came away limping, learning that the promises of God come through weakness and submission to the Lord.Job wanted his day in court with God. He wanted to present his case and demonstrate that God had gotten things wrong. But when Job finally comes face-to-face with the living God, he puts his hand over his mouth. He learns that God's wisdom is far greater than his own. Paul was a man who considered himself blameless according to the law, yet Christ had to stop him on the road to Damascus. Even Paul had to learn that God's strength is manifested in weakness.And then there is Isaiah. Isaiah appears to be one of those Old Testament saints who was pretty dialed in. Yet when he comes into the presence of God, he doesn't say, "I dwell in the midst of unclean people who make me unclean." No, he says, “Woe is me. I am a man of unclean lips” That is the point. Apart from Christ, we have nothing.Paul makes this very clear in Romans 3. He gives a staccato of Old Testament references and demonstrates that there is a universal problem that impacts Jew and Gentile. It doesn't matter how religious you are or how well you have cleaned up your life.All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.That is why justification by faith is so helpful. It tells us the truth about our condition. We cannot save ourselves. We need a rematch and not a participation trophy.The championship game has already been played. Adam failed, and in Adam we have all failed. The verdict has been issued. We need someone to reengage the competition and overturn the previous verdict. And that is exactly what Christ does in his work. However, this can still be all doctrine. Is there a place where this really impacts our Christian life? Is This Assuring? This is where the beauty of justification really comes into view. The Heidelberg Catechism says that I share in all of Christ's benefits. He has made perfect satisfaction for my sin. He has given me his perfect holiness. And I am regarded before God as if I had never sinned and as if I had perfectly obeyed all that God commanded. Think about the beauty of that.It is not my righteousness. It is Christ's righteousness.It is not my perfect obedience. It is Christ's perfect obedience. It is not something I have earned. It is a gift. God has freely given it to his unworthy children.Paul says in Romans 3 that we are justified by God's grace as a gift, through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus. Justification is a legal declaration. Before the heavenly court, we deserve condemnation in Adam. But in Christ, we are declared righteous.And this is what makes grace so amazing.Sometimes we define grace as “unmerited favor.” But I think Scripture gives us an even deeper picture. Unmerited favor could mean that God just gave us something. We did not earn it. However, we could be neutral. For instance, you love your kid, so you just buy your kid ice cream. The kid did not specifically deserve it, but you want to spend some quality time together.We actively rebelled against him. We told God that we didn't want his holiness, his rule, or his order. If we continue with the illustration of buying a child ice cream, we can ask: Would you buy your child ice cream after your child washed your car with a Brillo pad? I am guessing that the child is not getting ice cream. However, we did far worse to God in the fall. He also gives us more than a participation trophy or ice cream. God gives us heaven through the work of his son. Christ doesn't simply overlook our sin. This is why Paul uses the language of redemption. Redemption is buying someone out of slavery. That is what Christ did. He purchased us out of our bondage of sin to set us free to live in him.Christ had to lay down his life in our place. He has to die because sin is that heinous. It is not that God is so villainous, but sin is that heinous. We cannot find a simple solution to this complex problem. So if someone wants to mock justification by faith as a “participation trophy,” I say, "I'll gladly take it." I'll put it on the shelf and proudly say, I am in Christ Jesus, and apart from Christ I have no hope. However, we need to remember that Christ reengaged the championship game. He won the game and gives us the credit.Conclusion So is justification by faith helpful?Absolutely.Because we have a 100% problem, and we need a 100% Savior.Is justification assuring?Absolutely.Because Christ has done what we could never do. He has satisfied God's justice, paid our debt, redeemed us from slavery, and given us his righteousness.And is my faith good enough?No, but Christ is.That is the good news. The gospel isn't that God looked at us and decided that we were basically good enough to receive a participation trophy. The gospel is that we were condemned in Adam, and Christ came into the heavenly courtroom and stood in our place. He took the judgment we deserved and gave us the righteousness we could never earn. He overturned the previous loss and won us our victory. And so we don't use grace as an excuse to push the boundaries of sin. If we really understand what sin is, why would we want to return to it? Sin is destructive. It tears us away from the true peace and shalom that God created us to enjoy.So let us continue to take hold of Christ by faith. Let us forget what lies behind and press forward toward what lies ahead. Christ Jesus has made us his own. And as the Holy Spirit continues to conform us to Christ, let us walk in him, trusting not in the strength of our faith, but in the strength of our Savior.

What do you do when your circumstances tell you there is no future?Pastor Wayman Mitchell preaches from Jeremiah 29:11 about one of the most powerful forces in the Christian life: hope.Israel was living in exile. Their circumstances looked permanent. Yet God spoke:“For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the LORD, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.” — Jeremiah 29:11Your present circumstances do not get the final word. Failure does not get the final word. Sin does not get the final word. Discouragement does not get the final word.

Shot in the Face by a Man With a Crossbow. A mental health crisis call became a fight for survival, and one of the most extraordinary chapters in a 23-year law enforcement career. The Podcast is available for free on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast website, also on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, iHeartradio and most major podcast platforms. #LawEnforcementTalk #Free #Podcast #Radio Hardin County Texas Sheriff's Sergeant Tom Lee had responded to countless difficult calls during more than two decades in law enforcement. On June 20, 2019, he and a caseworker approached a home believing they were there to help a family in crisis. The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast social media like their Facebook , Instagram , LinkedIn , Medium and other social media platforms. The request had come from relatives of a 38-year-old man who was reportedly experiencing a mental health emergency. Lee was serving with the local Sheriff's Office mental health division, a role requiring patience, communication, restraint, and the ability to recognize when a troubled person might become dangerous. Supporting articles about this and much more from Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast in platforms like Medium , Blogspot and Linkedin. Nothing about the assignment suggested that Lee would soon be shot in the face by a man with a crossbow. The central fact remains almost impossible to comprehend: “The crossbow bolt struck him just above his left eye.” The impact could have killed him instantly. Instead, the bolt miraculously failed to penetrate his skull. Although seriously injured, Lee stayed in the fight, returned fire with his service weapon, and stopped the threat. Shot in the Face by a Man With a Crossbow. Both men survived. For Lee, however, physical survival was only the beginning. The ambush became part of a much larger story involving trauma, faith, career setbacks, family, law enforcement service, and the long road toward redemption. That journey is the foundation of his first book, Scars of the Badge: Faith, Trauma, and Redemption Behind the Thin Blue Line. Lee discussed the attack, his recovery, and the emotional cost of police work as a guest on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast. A Mental Health Call With a Terrifying Outcome Lee and a mental health caseworker responded to the residence after the suspect's family requested help from the sheriff's office mental health division. Calls involving a person in crisis are among the most unpredictable assignments in law enforcement. Officers may encounter someone who is frightened, delusional, suicidal, angry, confused, under the influence, or unable to understand what is happening around them. The person may need urgent treatment while also presenting a danger to relatives, clinicians, responding officers, or himself. The objective is often to slow the encounter down, communicate calmly, and connect the individual with appropriate services. But even a carefully planned response can change without warning. He shares the full story as a guest on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast, available on Apple, Spotify, YouTube, and other major podcast platforms. The interview is also featured across Facebook and Instagram. While Lee and the caseworker were at the property, the 38-year-old suspect emerged from the home armed with a crossbow. He fired at Lee, striking him in the face above the left eye. There was no time for a lengthy assessment. Lee had been ambushed with a weapon capable of causing catastrophic injury or death. Despite the bolt that hit him near his eye, Lee returned fire. His rounds wounded the suspect and neutralized the immediate threat. The event illustrates a reality that is frequently lost in brief News reports and Social Media discussions: officers responding to mental health calls may be attempting to help someone, yet they must also be ready to defend themselves and others in a fraction of a second. “The call began as an effort to help a family. It became a deadly-force encounter in seconds.” Survival Against Extraordinary Odds Lee's survival was remarkable. The crossbow bolt struck just above his left eye but did not penetrate his skull. He received medical treatment and was eventually released from the hospital to continue recovering. The suspect also survived after being airlifted to a regional hospital for treatment of his gunshot wounds. Authorities later arrested him and charged him with first-degree felony aggravated assault on a public servant. Shot in the Face by a Man With a Crossbow. The episode is available across major platforms including their website, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, with highlights shared across their Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn profiles. A Texas jury found the man guilty on June 23, 2021. He reportedly received a sentence of approximately 60 years in prison. The verdict provided legal accountability, but a criminal conviction could not erase what happened. Lee still had to live with the physical and psychological consequences of being attacked at close range. The public often sees an injured officer's photograph, reads a short update, and moves on to the next headline. The officer and family cannot move on so quickly. Recovery may include pain, medical appointments, disrupted sleep, anxiety, anger, intrusive memories, and the unsettling awareness that an ordinary workday nearly ended a life. The visible injury may heal while the emotional effects continue in private. That hidden side of survival became one of the driving themes behind Scars of the Badge. Before the Crossbow: A Career-Altering Setback Lee's law enforcement journey was not defined by a straight line of promotions and accomplishments. Before serving with the Hardin County Sheriff's Office, he worked for a university police department. That position ended after a controversy involving his speed while pursuing a vehicle during a traffic stop. Being fired could have ended his police career. It could also have permanently defined the way he viewed himself. Instead, the setback became part of a longer story about mistakes, consequences, perseverance, and second chances. The episode adds important context to Lee's memoir. Scars of the Badge is not presented as the story of a flawless officer. Its power comes from a more honest premise: a badge does not protect the person wearing it from failure, trauma, doubt, or the need for redemption. The Podcast is available for free on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast website, also on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, iHeartradio and most major podcast platforms. The book's subtitle identifies its central themes with three carefully chosen words: “Faith, Trauma, and Redemption.” Lee's earlier firing and later crossbow ambush were very different events, but both forced him to confront uncertainty about his future. One threatened his professional identity. The other threatened his life. In each case, continuing required more than physical toughness. The Emotional Weight Behind the Badge During more than 23 years of service, Lee responded to tragedy, violence, crisis, and human suffering. Each call carried the possibility of leaving a mark. Law enforcement officers are expected to remain composed while others are experiencing the worst moments of their lives. They see injured children, grieving families, violent suspects, fatal crashes, suicides, abuse, addiction, and mental illness. They may be threatened, attacked, or forced to use deadly force. Then they are expected to finish the report, clear the call, and remain ready for whatever comes next. The accumulated effects are not always obvious. An officer may appear calm at work while becoming distant at home. Sleep may become difficult. Patience may shorten. A sound, smell, location, or routine call may trigger a memory of a previous tragedy. Shot in the Face by a Man With a Crossbow. The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast continues bringing listeners real conversations from the front lines of crime, policing, trauma, survival, and healing. Lee's experience gave him an especially vivid example of that burden. Being shot in the face with a crossbow was not merely an unusual headline. It was an event that affected his body, mind, faith, family, and understanding of service. “Survival is not always the end of the incident. Sometimes it is the beginning of the recovery.” That truth applies far beyond Lee's case. Police officers, firefighters, emergency medical personnel, corrections officers, military veterans, and other first responders may survive an attack or traumatic event while continuing to struggle with its effects for years. Writing Scars of the Badge in Five Weeks Lee eventually turned his experiences into Scars of the Badge: Faith, Trauma, and Redemption Behind the Thin Blue Line. Released in May, the memoir offers a candid examination of the emotional, psychological, and spiritual challenges that can accompany a law enforcement career. It explores the difficulty of responding to tragedy and violence while also trying to remain present for family, maintain faith, and continue serving the public. The book came together with surprising speed. Lee told noon anchor Patrina Adger that it took him only five weeks to write. That rapid process suggests the material had been accumulating for years. The words may have reached the page in a little more than a month, but the experiences behind them were shaped across decades. The crossbow attack is a central part of the memoir, yet the book reaches beyond a single incident. It examines what happens when the uniform comes home with the officer, when the demands of the job influence relationships, beliefs, emotions, and identity. Since its release, Scars of the Badge has received numerous five-star reader reviews and attracted interest from law enforcement professionals, first responders, and faith-based audiences. Its appeal is understandable. Lee's story contains an extraordinary attack, but its deeper themes are widely relatable: failure, fear, perseverance, faith, forgiveness, and the search for meaning after trauma. Why the Title Matters The phrase “scars of the badge” describes more than the injury above Lee's left eye. Some scars are physical and immediately visible. Others appear as nightmares, strained relationships, anxiety, spiritual questions, or memories that refuse to remain in the past. The badge represents service and authority, but it can also carry personal costs rarely seen by the public. Lee's memoir challenges the idea that courage means remaining unaffected. Real courage may involve acknowledging the wound, asking difficult questions, seeking help, reconnecting with faith, and deciding that trauma will not write the final chapter. Redemption is equally important to the story. Lee experienced a career setback before rebuilding his place in law enforcement. Years later, after surviving the crossbow attack, he again had to determine what came next. The book does not treat redemption as the erasure of the past. Instead, it frames redemption as the process of using painful experiences to create something that may help others. Supporting articles about this and much more from Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast in platforms like Medium , Blogspot and Linkedin. The Complicated Reality of Mental Health Calls The 2019 attack also highlights the complexity of law enforcement's role in mental health crises. The suspect's family asked for assistance. Lee responded as a mental health liaison deputy alongside a caseworker. The purpose of the visit was intervention, not punishment. Yet the situation became violent. That does not mean every mental health call is dangerous or that people living with mental illness should be treated as threats. Most are not violent. It does mean responders must balance compassion, de-escalation, treatment needs, family concerns, and safety in circumstances that can shift rapidly. Lee's case demonstrates why cooperation between law enforcement agencies, clinicians, crisis workers, families, and community services is so important. It also shows why mental health responders need training, communication tools, protective strategies, and adequate resources. No approach can eliminate every danger. The crossbow ambush was a brutal reminder of that limitation. From Local News to a National Podcast Audience Lee's story first emerged through local News coverage, but the lessons extend well beyond Hardin County, Texas. Through the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast, audiences can hear the larger story behind the headline. The conversation explores the crossbow attack, the force Lee used to stop the suspect, the criminal case, his recovery, his earlier firing, and the faith that helped him continue. The interview is available on Apple, Spotify, YouTube, and other major Podcast platforms. Additional clips, articles, and episode information can be shared through Facebook, Instagram, and other Social Media channels. Those platforms give listeners an opportunity to look beyond a dramatic headline and understand the human being behind it. A Story About More Than Survival Tom Lee could easily be remembered only as the Texas deputy who was shot in the face by a man with a crossbow. That description is accurate, but incomplete. He is also an officer who endured a humiliating career setback and found a way forward. He is a mental health liaison deputy who responded to help a family and nearly lost his life. He is a survivor who returned fire under unimaginable circumstances. He is an author who transformed decades of pain, service, and reflection into a book written in five weeks. Shot in the Face by a Man With a Crossbow. The show is distributed through Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, iHeartradio and other podcast platforms. Its interviews are also promoted across Facebook, Instagram, and other social media channels. Most importantly, his story asks a question relevant to anyone who has experienced failure or trauma: What will the person do with the scars? Lee chose to tell the truth about them. Scars of the Badge: Faith, Trauma, and Redemption Behind the Thin Blue Line does not present survival as a clean ending. It presents recovery as a continuing process, one shaped by faith, family, accountability, and the willingness to speak openly about what the badge can cost. His physical wound became visible evidence of an extraordinary attack. His memoir reveals the less visible wounds and the lessons that followed. The full interview with Sheriff's Sergeant Tom Lee is featured on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast. Listeners can find the episode on Apple, Spotify, YouTube, and other major podcast platforms, with additional content on Facebook, Instagram, and Social Media. The attack lasted only moments. The story of survival, trauma, faith, and redemption is still being written. Get the Free Clubhouse App, it is Drop In Social Audio.

Stephanie set out for an ambitious summer challenge: take on the brutal Maah Daah Hey 100 in North Dakota and, just one week later, line up for another 100 miles at Lean Horse in South Dakota. But before she even reached the starting line, routine bloodwork finally gave her an explanation for months of struggling to regain her speed—extremely low ferritin. With only days to address it, she headed north anyway, determined to find out what her body could do.Joined by American record holder Jenny Arnzen, Stephanie breaks down just how unforgiving Maah Daah Hey became: triple-digit temperatures, huge stretches without aid, hot water baking in the sun, a shoe swallowed by mud, runners being rescued for heat-related issues, and the realization that she had badly underestimated a race that demanded more respect—and more crew support—than she had planned for. With time still on the clock, Stephanie made the decision to stop at 100K, preserving enough of herself to attempt South Dakota a week later. For once, the DNF didn't feel like failure. It felt like the right decision.After several days of recovery, Stephanie lined up at Lean Horse with nothing to prove and a little redemption on her mind. She ran smart from the beginning, embraced the rolling climbs and long descents, survived another round of heat, spotted a mountain lion along the way, and finished in 26:35—her fastest 100-miler in more than a year. Stephanie and Jenny talk about knowing when to push and when to stop, the importance of crew and community, why runners shouldn't project their own limitations onto someone else's goals, and why even a failed attempt can be something worth celebrating. Sometimes showing up brave means finishing. Sometimes it means making the call to come back another day.Be sure to subscribe to the podcast wherever you listen, and we always appreciate you leaving a good rate and review.

In this message from Psalm 130, Ryan explores one of the Songs of Ascent and its enduring message of forgiveness, hope, and redemption. From the depths of despair, the psalmist cries out to God and discovers that our hope is not found in achieving perfection, but in the God who forgives and redeems. Ryan connects this ancient song to Jesus, who provides the redemption the people of God had been waiting for, and shares personally about a season when others helped remind him of that hope. The message challenges us to keep pointing one another toward Jesus, especially when someone cannot see the light for themselves.

Transcript:Da: Den kølige brise rørte sig over Moonlit Beach, hvor månens skær malede sandet med et stille, sølvfarvet lys.En: The cool breeze stirred over Moonlit Beach, where the moon's glow painted the sand with a calm, silvery light.Da: Freja, en ung kvinde fra Danmark, stod stille og lyttede til bølgerne, der slog mod kysten.En: Freja, a young woman from Danmark, stood still and listened to the waves crashing against the shore.Da: Hun havde tænkt på dette øjeblik længe.En: She had thought about this moment for a long time.Da: Nu stod hun endelig på stranden, klar til at møde både havets kræfter og hendes egne indre dæmoner.En: Now she finally stood on the beach, ready to face both the forces of the sea and her own inner demons.Da: Som barn havde Freja oplevet noget skræmmende ved havet, noget der stadig fangede hende i frygt.En: As a child, Freja had experienced something frightening at the sea, something that still trapped her in fear.Da: Men i aften ønskede hun at ændre det.En: But tonight, she wished to change that.Da: Hun ville overkomme denne frygt og finde fred i sig selv.En: She wanted to overcome this fear and find peace within herself.Da: Freja trak vejret dybt, kiggede ud mod horisonten og begyndte at gå mod vandkanten.En: Freja took a deep breath, looked out towards the horizon, and began to walk toward the water's edge.Da: Hun blev dog pludselig stoppet af lyden af fodtrin i sandet bag hende.En: However, she was suddenly stopped by the sound of footsteps in the sand behind her.Da: Det var Lucas, en gammel ven fra hendes fortid.En: It was Lucas, an old friend from her past.Da: Hans tilstedeværelse bragte minder fra den dag, hvor alting ændrede sig.En: His presence brought back memories from the day when everything changed.Da: Lucas kom tættere, hans øjne fulde af sorg og fortrydelse.En: Lucas came closer, his eyes full of sorrow and regret.Da: "Freja," sagde han blidt.En: "Freja," he said gently.Da: "Jeg har tænkt meget på det, der skete dengang.En: "I've thought a lot about what happened back then.Da: Jeg er så ked af, hvordan det påvirkede dig."En: I'm so sorry for how it affected you."Da: Freja kunne se oprigtigheden i hans øjne.En: Freja could see the sincerity in his eyes.Da: Det var noget, hun havde brug for at høre.En: It was something she needed to hear.Da: Hun følte både vrede og lettelse.En: She felt both anger and relief.Da: "Det var svært," begyndte hun stille.En: "It was hard," she began quietly.Da: "Men jeg er her nu for at lade det bag mig."En: "But I'm here now to leave it behind me."Da: Hun vidste, at det ikke kun var havets frygt, hun måtte konfrontere.En: She knew it wasn't only the fear of the sea she needed to confront.Da: Det var også deres ulykke den dag.En: It was also their misfortune that day.Da: Sammen stod de stille et øjeblik og lyttede til havets hvisken.En: Together they stood silent for a moment, listening to the whisper of the sea.Da: Lucas' hånd fandt vej til hendes skulder.En: Lucas' hand found its way to her shoulder.Da: "Vil du gå med mig til vandet?"En: "Do you want to walk with me to the water?"Da: spurgte han forsigtigt.En: he asked cautiously.Da: Freja tøvede, men en følelse af styrke bryggede op i hende.En: Freja hesitated, but a feeling of strength welled up inside her.Da: Hun nikkede.En: She nodded.Da: Sammen trådte de hen mod vandets kant.En: Together they stepped toward the water's edge.Da: Månens lys skinnede på vandets overflade, og Freja tog endnu et dybt åndedrag, før hun lod sine fødder glide ned i det kølige vand.En: The moon's light shone on the surface of the water, and Freja took another deep breath before letting her feet slide into the cool water.Da: Vandet omfavnede hendes ankler, og med Lucas ved sin side følte hun en bølge af ro skylle over sig.En: The water embraced her ankles, and with Lucas by her side, she felt a wave of calm wash over her.Da: Hun lukkede sine øjne, og udyret fra hendes barndom veg langsomt for en ny følelse – styrke.En: She closed her eyes, and the beast from her childhood slowly gave way to a new feeling—strength.Da: Da hun endelig trådte ud af vandet, følte hun sig renset og friere end nogensinde før.En: When she finally stepped out of the water, she felt cleansed and freer than ever before.Da: Lucas og Freja omfavnede hinanden i forståelse og venskab.En: Lucas and Freja embraced each other in understanding and friendship.Da: De havde begge taget skridt mod at forene fortiden med nutiden.En: They had both taken steps toward reconciling the past with the present.Da: Freja kiggede tilbage på havet.En: Freja looked back at the sea.Da: Månens lys førte ikke længere minder om frygt, men om nye begyndelser.En: The moon's light no longer brought memories of fear but of new beginnings.Da: Hun havde fundet sin fred, og med den, et nyt kapitel i hendes liv.En: She had found her peace, and with it, a new chapter in her life.

Recorded live on August 9, 2026, this Land of Israel Fellowship with Ari Abramowitz and Jeremy Gimpel explores the powerful themes of this week's Torah portion, Re'eh. What happens when we stop asking, “Hashem, what can You give me?” and start asking, “Hashem, what do You want?” Ari and Jeremy explore the mystery of “the place that I will choose,” why God waited hundreds of years to reveal Jerusalem, and what King David teaches us about aligning our hearts with God's will. Along the way, they share remarkable stories of divine providence, Israel, prophecy, and a deeply personal story about sapphire, marriage, children, and Isaiah's promise of redemption. The delay is not the denial. Sometimes the journey is preparing us for the promise.

Can a Christian lose his salvation? In this episode of our Redemption Accomplished and Applied series, Nate Shannon is joined by Westminster alumnus and pastor Gabe Fluhrer to explore John Murray's treatment of the perseverance of the saints. Together they examine why perseverance rests not on human resolve but on God's unchanging grace, discuss the relationship between justification and assurance, and consider how the ordinary means of grace sustain believers through seasons of doubt, temptation, and suffering. Above all, this conversation points listeners to Christ, the One who preserves His people and will surely raise them up on the last day.

In this message, we begin a study of the Apostle John, one of the “sons of thunder” who is often overshadowed by the more outspoken Apostle Peter. Yet as we follow John through the Gospel accounts, we discover a disciple whose quiet and humble character was accompanied by remarkable boldness and faithfulness. We consider the … Continue reading "The Quiet but Bold Disciple — Part 1"

What are the steps to become an effective follower of Jesus?  Learn how FEBC Indonesia reaches out to the next generation in new ways that lead to real life in Jesus. This is part 2 of Jonathan Mortiz's extended conversation with Yancen, our Indonesian Ministry director. Last week we heard about his journey to faith and the way John 3:16 took root in his heart. As a man who understands redemption and Indonesian culture, he also knows how to speak in the language of Gen Z youth. Reaching a generation that feels lost, lonely and uncertain of themselves and God is a difficult task. You will be amazed at the thoughtful and innovative ways Yancen and his staff are helping this hard-to-reach group take root in Jesus, grow in Jesus and become fruitful in Jesus…Until All Have Heard. 

This summer, we explore themes from popular films alongside Scripture, uncovering how God's truth speaks through the stories we love. From adventure and sacrifice to redemption and hope, each week reminds us that God is present in every part of our story—inviting us into something greater. This week, we look at a movie that became popular, first, on the theatrical stage - Les Miserables. Les Miz (as it is commonly refered) is first and foremast a parable. A story that is not true or historical, but invites the listener or watcher into it in such a way that the audience wishes it were true because it is relatable. It also leads the audience to take a step of action. Jesus does the same with his parables that he tells. Pastor Karla conveys to us how God reaches us at your worst so He can lift us into our best.

As Christians, we worship the Triune God: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. In the unity of the Godhead, these three Persons execute distinct but harmonious offices in our redemption. Romans 8:1–4 is one of the rare places in the Bible where we see all three Persons of the Trinity executing these roles together. In this message, we will focus on the role of the Father in the great work of redemption. Take-Home Message: The great work of redemption is the great work of the Triune God.The Father's Role in my Redemption:The Father's Plan: The Father planned my redemption.The Father's Sending: The Father sent His Son to condemn sin in the flesh. The Father and the Son's Sending: The Father and the Son sent the Holy Spirit to fulfill the law.The Father and the Son's Seeking: The Father and the Son seek the lost.The Father's Listening: The Father hears my prayers.The Father's Freedom: The Father has mercy and compassion on whomever He chooses.The Father's Securing: The Father will secure the redemption of all things.

There is a profound difference between believing in God and truly belonging to Him. One is a starting point. The other is a way of life. Leviticus 26 lays out an extraordinary promise: if God's people walk with Him and honor His commands, the blessings will be overwhelming. Food, security, peace, and fruitfulness are all on the table. But after thirteen verses of blessing after blessing, the greatest gift God offers is not any of those things. It is His own presence. He says, 'I will walk among you and be your God, and you will be My people.' The ultimate blessing has always been God Himself.This truth carries into the New Testament, where believers are described as temples of the Holy Spirit. We are not our own. We were bought with a price. That reality calls us to a posture of stewardship rather than ownership over our own lives. Obedience is not how we earn redemption, which comes by grace through faith in Jesus Christ alone, but it is how we enjoy fellowship with God. Leviticus 26 also gives a sobering warning: pride and hostility toward God lead to real consequences. Every sin is rooted in pride, and God identifies the breaking of that pride as central to restoration. There are only two postures before Him: humility or hostility.The good news is that Jesus, through His atonement, makes a way back. Sin separates us from God, but Christ makes us at one with Him again. From Genesis to Revelation, the thread running through all of Scripture is God pursuing closeness with the people He created and loves. That same invitation stands today. Not just on Sunday mornings, but across every area of life, including our time, our relationships, our finances, and our futures. When we live with the awareness that everything belongs to Him, we move from simply believing in God to genuinely belonging to God, and in that belonging, we walk in the greatest blessing available to any human being: the presence of God Himself.

Romans 1:16-17 declares that the Gospel is the power of God for salvation and calls believers to live unashamed of its message. The Gospel confronts human sin while offering forgiveness and new life through Christ alone, bringing real transformation to hearts, relationships, and communities. Paul emphasizes that salvation is not earned through moral effort, religious rituals, or good works, but is received by faith alone in Jesus Christ. At the heart of the passage is the truth that justification comes before sanctification. God declares sinners righteous through faith, giving them a new identity as His children, and that identity then produces a transformed life. True faith is more than agreeing with facts about Jesus; it is personally trusting Him and resting in His finished work. Communion continually reminds believers that Christ's death and resurrection have secured their adoption, righteousness, and calling to live each day by faith.

A message from our sermon series - Sacred Exhortations - A study in the Psalms - Psalm 130 (ESV).

What if rejecting Jesus doesn’t always look like outright rebellion? In Mark 6, we see three different responses to the Kingdom of God: some people remain unconvinced, some become unwilling to listen, and others find themselves against God’s work without ever intending to be. The surprising truth is that rejecting the King rarely happens all […]

The next generation (kids and students) are not just the future of the church — they are part of the church right now. How — and what — can the rest of us learn from this generation? How can we empower them to be disciples of Jesus in their cultures today?

In this message we meet Irenaeus, one of the early Church Fathers who stood against Gnosticism and fought to preserve the truth about Jesus. Discover how Irenaeus understood the story of Scripture through four movements...Creation, Fall, Redemption, and Restoration...and why Jesus didn't come to help us escape our humanity, but to redeem it.

Judges 7:1-8, 19-23 What do we do when God calls us to something that seems far beyond what we have to offer? In Judges 7, we find Gideon staring down an army of 135,000 with only 32,000 fighters at his side

ਸੋਰਠਿ ਮਹਲਾ ੯ ॥ ਮਨ ਰੇ ਪ੍ਰਭ ਕੀ ਸਰਨਿ ਬਿਚਾਰੋ ॥ ਜਿਹ ਸਿਮਰਤ ਗਨਕਾ ਸੀ ਉਧਰੀ ਤਾ ਕੋ ਜਸੁ ਉਰ ਧਾਰੋ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥ ਅਟਲ ਭਇਓ ਧ੍ਰੂਅ ਜਾ ਕੈ ਸਿਮਰਨਿ ਅਰੁ ਨਿਰਭੈ ਪਦੁ ਪਾਇਆ ॥ ਦੁਖ ਹਰਤਾ ਇਹ ਬਿਧਿ ਕੋ ਸੁਆਮੀ ਤੈ ਕਾਹੇ ਬਿਸਰਾਇਆ ॥੧॥ ਜਬ ਹੀ ਸਰਨਿ ਗਹੀ ਕਿਰਪਾ ਨਿਧਿ ਗਜ ਗਰਾਹ ਤੇ ਛੂਟਾ ॥ ਮਹਮਾ ਨਾਮ ਕਹਾ ਲਉ ਬਰਨਉ ਰਾਮ ਕਹਤ ਬੰਧਨ ਤਿਹ ਤੂਟਾ ॥੨॥ ਅਜਾਮਲੁ ਪਾਪੀ ਜਗੁ ਜਾਨੇ ਨਿਮਖ ਮਾਹਿ ਨਿਸਤਾਰਾ ॥ ਨਾਨਕ ਕਹਤ ਚੇਤ ਚਿੰਤਾਮਨਿ ਤੈ ਭੀ ਉਤਰਹਿ ਪਾਰਾ ॥੩॥੪॥This hymn composed by Guru Tegh Bahadur Sahib (in Raag Sorath) emphasizes the transformative power of divine remembrance (Naam Simran) and surrendering to God's sanctuary.Key Themes & SummaryUniversal Redemption Through Divine Grace: The Guru highlights that God's grace is available to anyone who sincerely surrenders, regardless of their past deeds or social status.Historical References (Gurbani Allusions): The hymn cites four classic examples of figures saved by divine intervention and remembrance:Ganika: A courtezan who achieved spiritual liberation by remembering God.Dhruva: The young devotee who earned eternal spiritual steadfastness and fearlessness.Gaj (The Elephant): Rescued instantly from the clutches of the crocodile the moment he called upon the Ocean of Mercy.Ajamal: A notoriously sinful person who was redeemed in an instant through divine remembrance.Breaking the Bonds of Maya: Remembering God acts like the Chintamani (a wish-fulfilling jewel), breaking all worldly fetters and helping the seeker cross the terrifying world-ocean.Core MessageDo not forget the Lord who removes suffering.

This week I tell Julius about Shred of Redemption, a 15-minute solo bag-builder from Best With 1 Games and part of their Solo Game of the Month series. You play as a corrupt feudal lord racing to redeem yourself before death, spending virtue tokens across three phases to align dice on a play area and clear regret tokens before a final reckoning. Shred of Redemption (BGG)

BP boys review the 2nd test between Pakistan and West Indies.

Sandwiched between a brutal stage on Wednesday and Mont Ventoux on Friday, the sixth stage could have gone to an early breakaway, a group of gutsy riders who attacked early and stayed away, allowing the GC favorites a break. Instead, eight women, all with something to prove, made the day theirs. After a season of setbacks, one woman earned redemption, as Mont Ventoux looms in the distance. The sixth stage of the Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift saw Kim Le Court-Pienaar take an incredible victory ahead of Cédrine Kerbaol and Puck Pieterse. The win was one she had to fight for, and even though she had some bad luck, the race repaid her in kind. With audio diaries from Liane Lippert (Movistar), Alice Towers (EF Education-Oatly), Alison Jackson (St Michel-Preference Home-Auber93), and a stage 7 preview from Sarah Gigante (AG Insurance-Soudal).

NFL Previews are here! Chris kicks off with the NFC West, rolling through the Seahawks, Rams, 49ers and Cardinals' chances of success in the 2026 NFL season. The Seahawks still have quite the roster following their Super Bowl victory in 2025 but do have some questions, namely Sam Darnold's capabilities without Kenneth Walker and the defensive potential wioth their attrition. The Rams are the offseason darlings with their trade acquisition of Myles Garrett while the 49ers can't shake the injury label. The Cardinals are fighting for a QB in 2027. Chris then heads to the AFC West and lauds the Chiefs for their start to training camp and quest to reach the NFL's summit once again.

Fr. Mike focuses on Ezekiel's warnings about false prophets misleading the people of Israel, and challenges us to reflect whether we choose to listen to prophets who tell us what we need to hear, not just what we want to hear. Today's readings are Isaiah 51-52, Ezekiel 12-13, and Proverbs 12:21-24. For the complete reading plan, visit ascensionpress.com/bibleinayear.
