https://wels2.blob.core.windows.net/daily-devotions/20260221dev.mp3 Listen to Devotion Moses and Aaron, Nadab and Abihu, and the seventy elders of Israel went up and saw the God of Israel. Under his feet was something like a pavement made of lapis lazuli, as bright blue as the sky itself. But God did not raise his hand against these leaders of the Israelites; they saw God, and they ate and drank. Exodus 24:9-11 God invites Us to His Dinner Party Imagine that you’ve been invited to a dinner party. The menu has things that you enjoy. Also, the time and the date work for you. But then you come to realize that you don't know anyone else who’s been invited to the party, and you have absolutely nothing in common with the people who are going. Would you still be as excited to go? I’d guess most of us wouldn’t be as excited. After all, what really makes a party fun is being with people we know and enjoy. Can you imagine a dinner party with God? It’s hard to imagine! And at first glance, it’s probably a scary thought. After all, God is perfect, holy, and eternal; we’re sinners. What in the world do we have in common with God, or he with us? And yet God chooses to invite us to his dinner party. God chooses to socialize with us. We read in today’s Bible verses of how he allowed the leaders and elders of Israel to dine in his presence. What an experience! He did it in an even more wondrous measure when Jesus came to this world and lived our human life. He continues to do it today, promising that he’s with us always, to the very end of time. And he’s preparing a place for us at the eternal “banquet feast” in heaven. But why would God want ME at his party? I’m a sinner! Ah, true. But Jesus lived, died, and rose, thereby paying for your sins in full. And so, you’re a welcome guest through Jesus. What a wonderful party it will be! Prayer: Savior Jesus, thank you for inviting me to the party, the eternal party. Fill me with longing for the day you take me there. Amen. Daily Devotions is brought to you by WELS.

This week on The Sidebar Podcast, Leise Winny and Mr. Royce spiral from vacation energy to death, religion, cereal psychology, and modern relationships — because of course they do.After thanking recent guests, Royce recaps his vacation and explains why he might be too royal for Carnival. The conversation shifts into a Black History Month reflection — including the loss of Rev. Jesse Jackson — and whether the reaper has been working overtime.From there, the episode gets loud. Uncle Luke for Congress? Country halftime shows? Brandy's national anthem performance? Is All-Star Weekend officially dead? Nothing is safe.The second half goes deeper: who's actually more emotional — men or women? Are we all just performing our lives for the internet? Is homeownership still the American dream? Why do modern relationships feel broken? And what does it mean when you keep picking “Froot Loops” instead of substance?It ends with an unexpected dive into Kellogg's history, religion, death, and why maybe — just maybe — we're all a little remedial when it comes to what we choose.Funny.

https://wels2.blob.core.windows.net/daily-devotions/20260220dev.mp3 Listen to Devotion For we did not follow cleverly devised stories when we told you about the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ in power, but we were eyewitnesses of his majesty. He received honor and glory from God the Father when the voice came to him from the Majestic Glory, saying, “This is my Son, whom I love; with him I am well pleased.” We ourselves heard this voice that came from heaven when we were with him on the sacred mountain. 2 Peter 1:16-18 Faith Rooted in Fact People sometimes speak about Christianity as if it’s a comforting legend. It’s nice, meaningful, and inspiring, but not necessarily true. Like a story you tell children at bedtime. Or like something people invented long ago to explain life and ease fear. But Peter wouldn’t let anyone talk that way about Jesus. He says clearly: “We did not follow cleverly devised stories.” In other words, “This wasn't a made-up tale. We weren’t passing along rumors or religious myths. We were there.” Peter and the disciples personally saw Jesus’ glory on the mountain. They heard the voice from heaven declare: “This is my Son, whom I love; with him I am well pleased.” That moment wasn't imagination or metaphor. It happened in real time, in real history, before real eyewitnesses. And Peter was willing to stake everything on it. He didn’t benefit from telling that story. He wasn’t paid or celebrated. He was opposed, imprisoned, beaten, and eventually killed for proclaiming what he had seen and heard. That’s what makes the Christian faith so different from mere “belief systems.” Christianity doesn’t begin with people reaching up to God through feelings or philosophy. It begins with God stepping down into our world so that we could know him in truth. So, when guilt weighs on your heart, or suffering raises questions, or doubt whispers that it’s all too good to be true, remember this: your faith rests on something that happened. Not clever stories, but eyewitness truth. And the Jesus they saw is the same Jesus who still reigns in power and still calls you his own. Prayer: Lord Jesus, thank you that my faith is grounded in truth, not imagination. Strengthen my heart with your Word and help me trust what you have done for me. Amen.

The conflict between science and religion? Turns out it's mostly a myth perpetuated by a handful of really loud voices on both sides. Dr. Elaine Howard Ecklund has spent 15 years using actual social science to study what scientists and religious people really think about each other, and the results are surprising: nearly half of elite scientists maintain religious commitments, most aren't hostile to faith communities, and there are way more varieties of atheism than you'd think (including "religious atheists" who attend church and pray). We dive into her research on "spiritual entrepreneurs," the eight shared values between science and religion (yeah, doubt is on the list for both), what went wrong during COVID, and why the science-religion conflict narrative is particularly American and Western. Plus, we get super practical about what churches can actually do—spoiler: it starts with honoring the scientists already sitting in your pews. This conversation challenged my assumptions, gave me hope, and reminded me that the people doing the real work are way more interesting than the stereotypes suggest. You can WATCH this conversation on YouTube Dr. Elaine Howard Ecklund is the Herbert S. Autrey Chair in Social Sciences and Professor of Sociology at Rice University, where she directs the Religion and Public Life Program. A leading scholar in the sociology of science and religion, she has conducted groundbreaking research surveying over 15,000 scientists and interviewing nearly 1,000 across eight countries to understand how scientific and religious communities actually relate to each other. Her books include Science vs. Religion: What Scientists Really Think, Varieties of Atheism in Science (with David Johnson), Why Science and Faith Need Each Other, and Secularity and Science: What Scientists Around the World Really Think About Religion. Her work challenges popular stereotypes, revealing the complex and often collaborative relationship between science and faith—and offering practical wisdom for churches, scientists, and anyone trying to hold these worlds together. UPCOMING ONLINE LENT CLASS: Jesus in Galilee w/ John Dominic Crossan⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ What can we actually know about Jesus of Nazareth? And, what difference does it make? ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠This Lenten class ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠begins where all of Dr. John Dominic Crossan's has work begins: with history. What was actually happening in Galilee in the 20s CE? What did Herod Antipas' transformation of the "Sea of Galilee" into the commercial "Sea of Tiberias" mean for peasant fishing communities? Why did Jesus emerge from John's baptism movement proclaiming God's Rule through parables—and what made that medium so perfectly suited to that message? Only by understanding what Jesus' parables meant then can we wrestle with what they might demand of us now. ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠The class is donation-based, including 0, so join, get info, and join up here.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ This podcast is a ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Homebrewed Christianity ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠production.

In this episode, Dr. Sean M. Viña joins to discuss the ways that social inequality can impact psychedelic healing. Dr. Viña is a sociologist with a PhD from Indiana University whose research focuses on psychedelics and mental health, and social inequality. In this conversation, Dr. Viña explains that while psychedelics are often framed as transformative treatments, their benefits appear unevenly distributed and frequently constrained by structural factors such as income inequality, education, stigma, caregiving burden, segregation, and social isolation. The discussion highlights how women—particularly single mothers—may experience diminished gains due to caregiving demands and stigmatization of mental illness, while Black and Latino populations show little measurable benefit once socioeconomic inequality is accounted for. Throughout, Dr. Viña emphasizes that outcomes are shaped less by the substances themselves than by the sociocultural environments people return to after treatment, underscoring the importance of community integration and structural supports alongside clinical care.   In this episode, you'll hear: What inspired Dr. Viña to research social inequality and psychedelics How caregiving burden, education, and stigma modulate women's mental health outcomes following psychedelic use Why socioeconomic inequality appears to eliminate measurable benefits for many Black and Latino participants The role of segregation, policing environments, and chronic stress in shaping treatment outcomes Why American Indian populations respond better to psychedelic treatments in rural areas with greater access to nature and their culture How having access to private versus public health insurance can impact psychedelic healing Why focusing only on therapist–patient interactions may miss key determinants of success Implications for designing more equitable psychedelic treatments and research   Quotes: "Women who are highly educated actually seem to be getting about as much benefit [from psychedelic treatments] as men who are highly educated, but [lack of] education doesn't seem to negatively affect men the same way it affects women. Again, that's the pattern we see in all kinds of other health resources." [9:36] "One of the studies that we did showed that if it wasn't for education and income differences, there would be a slight benefit [from psychedelics] for black participants in these surveys. But as soon as you accounted for education inequality and income inequality, it was wiped out." [21:40] "I love the concept of the psychedelic renaissance, but when we start thinking about the statistics of who this is helping, this is a renaissance of less than 1% of people, right? This is a very small group of people who are getting benefits, just like many of the other resources that have come out in the past. … all these resources are probably valuable. They're all helpful. But there needs to be more than just the drug. There needs to be a bigger conversation about this society and the community that people are living in." [36:31]   Dr. Viña's academic articles: "Medical Sociological and Epidemiological Psychedelics Paradigm", Drug Science Policy and Law, 2025 "A Community Centered Approach to Psychedelics", Discover Mental Health, 2025 "Unequal Healing: Gender, Psychedelics, and the Burden of Care", Women and Therapy, 2026 "Psychedelics and Mental Health Treatment Seeking Among Asians and Hawaiians", Psychoactives, 2025 "American Indian areas and psychedelics: A test of the minorities' diminished psychedelic returns", Journal of Rural Mental Health, 2025 "Religious Social Integration, Psychedelics, and Psychological Distress", Journal of Psychoactive Drugs, 2024 "Stigma, Psychedelic Use, and the Risk of Reduced Formal Mental Health Care", Stigma and Health, 2024 With Amanda L.

Listen to him!” Matthew 17:5 Listen to Him Peter was talking. He was excited. He was making plans. He was telling Jesus what he thought should happen next. And then God interrupted him. Matthew says, “While he was still speaking…” Before Peter could finish, God the Father spoke from a bright cloud: “This is my Son, whom I love… Listen to him!” We need that interruption, too, because we’re good at talking. Good at planning. Good at deciding what we think God should do. But God doesn’t tell you to listen to yourself. He tells you to listen to Jesus. I met with someone recently who told me he hadn't been to church in a long time. Then he added, “But it’s okay. I pray twice a day.” I told him I was glad he prays. That’s a good thing. But then I asked him a question he hadn’t considered: “When do you make time to listen to Jesus?” Because prayer is talking to God. But God’s Word is how God talks to you. Listen when life is going well. Listen when it isn’t. Listen when you’re calm. Listen when you’re anxious. Listen when you don’t know what to do because Jesus doesn’t just give advice. He gives promises. He says you are forgiven and that God is with you. He says death won’t win, and eternal life is yours. So, if you feel pulled in ten directions today, start here: Listen to him. Prayer: Father, quiet my heart and my mind. Help me listen to Jesus and trust his promises, especially when life is hard. Amen. Daily Devotions is brought to you by WELS.

In this talk, Hogen reflects on turning problems into wisdom, exploring how fear, beliefs, and fixed stories can become inner prisons—and how practice opens a path to freedom. Drawing on teachings about equanimity, responsibility, and gratitude, he invites listeners to face fear directly, soften around difficulty, and transform life's challenges into sources of insight, compassion, and appreciation for this one precious life. ★ Support this podcast ★

In this second episode of a two-part series, (for part 1 click here) we explore The Chicago Statement on Biblical Inerrancy, a concise and influential 1,700‑word confession that articulates the historic Christian understanding of Scripture as God's authoritative and trustworthy revelation.Within Wesleyan circles, many have never encountered this document directly. After noticing this gap, and the blank stares I often get when referencing it, I decided it was time to devote two episodes to simply reading the statement and offering accessible commentary.To guide the conversation, I'm joined by Dr. Matt O'Reilly, who has appeared on the podcast multiple times over the last five years. Together, we walk through the text, highlight its insights, and consider why Wesleyans should be familiar with this important articulation of inerrancy.In this episode:Why the Chicago Statement remains influentialHow it reflects the classical Christian approach to ScriptureWhy Wesleyans benefit from engaging itGuided reading + theological commentaryHow inerrancy fits within a broader doctrine of revelationYoutube - https://youtu.be/5dgCFypDxogAudio - https://andymilleriii.com/media/podcastApple -  https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/more-to-the-story-with-dr-andy-miller/id1569988895?uo=4If you are interested in learning more about my two full-length video-accompanied courses, Contender: Going Deeper in the Book of Jude andHeaven and Other Destinations: A Biblical Journey Beyond this World , visit andymilleriii.com/coursesAnd don't forget about my most recent book, Contender, which is available on Amazon! Five Steps to Deeper Teaching and Preaching - Recently, I updated this PDF document and added a 45-minute teaching video with slides, explaining this tool.

Religion & Rock - 02/22/26 - Renewal

Vital Mindset & Discipline PodcastFIVE PRIMARY POINTS of the PODCASTSpirituality Is Foundational to Mental Health and ResilienceThe episode argues that spirituality—defined as a belief in something bigger than oneself—is not merely philosophical but scientifically supported as a fundamental resource for promoting mental health. Peer-reviewed data cited in the podcast link spirituality and religion to improved emotional resilience, inner serenity, compassion, and psychological well-being.Religion and Spirituality Have Measurable Neurobiological and Social EffectsEngaging in spiritual or religious practices activates brain regions involved in emotional regulation and social perception. Research discussed suggests these practices strengthen social bonds, enhance compassion, reduce stress, and may improve immunity, cardiovascular outcomes, and overall longevity.Spiritual Well-Being Can Be Measured and StrengthenedA nine-question NIH survey (Experience of All Life Stressors Short Form) is presented as a concise tool to assess spiritual well-being, including purpose, peace, gratitude, compassion, presence, and connection to a higher power. The key message: we cannot eliminate suffering, but we can train ourselves to respond to it better by strengthening these dimensions.Forgiveness and Purpose Are Powerful Biological ToolsForgiveness is framed not just as a moral virtue but as a physiological stress-reduction strategy. Research on the REACH method shows forgiveness reduces anxiety and depression. Similarly, a strong sense of purpose is associated with increased longevity. Both are actionable ways to deepen spiritual vitality.Awareness of Mortality Clarifies Meaning and ActionThrough the “shovel next to the grave” reflection, the episode emphasizes that recognizing life's fragility sharpens focus on purpose, service, and compassion. Rather than being morbid, contemplating mortality helps individuals live more intentionally—working hard at work worth doing, as quoted from Teddy Roosevelt.Copyright VyVerse, LLC.

The Crisis of a Seared Conscience by Bishop Joaquin G. Molina

What is a logical fallacy? What is a sound argument? And, why does it matter for Christians today? In this episode of the Bible and Theology Matters podcast, Dr. Paul Weaver is joined by the co-authors of Talking About World Views: A Conversational Introduction to Thinking Philosophically for a powerful discussion on logic, logical fallacies, and sound reasoning in a confused culture.Featuring:-Michael Jones – Professor of Philosophy & Religion, Liberty University-Mark J. Farnham – Professor of Apologetics, Lancaster Bible College-David Saxon – Professor of Church History, Maranatha Baptist UniversityTogether, they explore:✔️ What a worldview is—and why everyone has one✔️ Why logic is foundational for defending the Christian faith ✔️ The difference between factual mistakes and logical fallacies ✔️ Common fallacies like: Ad Hominem Straw Man Appeal to Authority Appeal to Pity Genetic Fallacy Red Herring Self-Referential Incoherence✔️ How to construct sound deductive and inductive arguments✔️ Why truth corresponds to reality ✔️ How Christians can argue graciously, clearly, and persuasivelyIn a world shaped by expressive individualism, emotional reasoning, and intellectual shortcuts, this conversation equips believers to think critically and biblically. As C.S. Lewis famously emphasized, Christianity is not something we would have invented—it confronts us with reality. Whether you're a pastor, Bible teacher, seminary student, homeschool parent, or simply someone who wants to strengthen your reasoning skills, this episode will sharpen your thinking and deepen your confidence in the Christian worldview.
