Many believers want to pray more but struggle to fit prayer into already full lives. In this episode, we explore the difference between having prayer time and living prayerful lives.Introducing Life Rhythm Prayer, this conversation reframes prayer not as something we squeeze into our schedules, but as a posture we carry throughout the day. Rooted in the biblical call to “pray without ceasing,” Life Rhythm Prayer invites us to pause, acknowledge God, and invite the Spirit into ordinary moments like work, conversations, decisions, and daily routines.This episode introduces the heart behind Life Rhythm Prayer and invites listeners to consider what it looks like to carry God-consciousness into the everyday rhythms of life.

https://wels2.blob.core.windows.net/daily-devotions/20251228dev.mp3 Listen to Devotion I will tell of the kindnesses of the LORD, the deeds for which he is to be praised, according to all the LORD has done for us—yes, the many good things he has done for Israel, according to his compassion and many kindnesses. Isaiah 63:7 Mercy and Compassion A highly respected running coach was once asked what he would do if he wanted to make his own son an Olympic runner. He responded, “I would get him a coach that believed he could be an Olympian.” After all his years of training runners, this man had learned that having a coach who believed in his runner was a key component to helping that athlete reach his true potential. Isaiah describes the Lord looking at his people and saying, “Surely they are my people, sons who will not be false to me.” How could the Lord say this when Israel had turned its back on him again and again? It wasn’t that God thought he could make his people better simply by believing in them. No, God calls Israel his people because in his love and mercy, he made them his people. “He became their Savior.” A coach might help an athlete achieve his greatest potential by believing in him, but God has done much more for us. Simply believing in us would not have been enough, because left to ourselves, our only potential was to go our own way and stray further away from him. So, God in his love and mercy redeemed us. By sending his only Son, he bought us back from our destiny of being sinners forever separated from him. This truth causes our Christmas joy to overflow every day of the year. In his loving kindness, the Lord has made us his people, who are given the righteousness and obedience of his Son. What’s our response to such mercy and compassion? We can join with Isaiah in saying, “I will tell of the kindnesses of the LORD, the deeds for which he is to be praised, according to all the LORD has done for us.” Prayer: Merciful and compassionate God, I thank you for being my Savior. You have made me your child through the redemption that comes through Jesus Christ. Help me to speak of your kindness, of all that you have done for me. Amen.

Qu'est-ce que le chant grégorien ? Ce chant monodique en latin, lié à la liturgie et à la parole biblique de l'Église catholique romaine, s'est développé à l'époque médiévale autour du XIIIè et IXè siècles. Après un déclin progressif, il a été restauré au XIXè siècle, et aujourd'hui, il est porté par des chœurs qui le font vivre sur plusieurs continents. (Rediffusion) « C'est par la pratique des psaumes qu'on comprend ce chant », disait Louis-Marie Vigne, considéré comme l'un des grands maîtres contemporains du chant grégorien en France, fondateur du Chœur grégorien de Paris, il y a une cinquantaine d'années. « Ce qui m'intéresse dans le grégorien, c'est le rapport du temps à l'éternité… La modification de notre conscience du temps est une des fonctions générales de la musique, une de ses plus belles vocations. Mais le chant grégorien en fait l'expérience permanente, à travers le mélisme, c'est-à-dire une méditation sonore sur une note ». Nous partons à la rencontre de ce chœur grégorien de Paris, dont les choristes viennent de tous les continents et se produisent également en tournée à différents endroits du monde, et dont le chef de chœur d'hommes est malgache, et la cheffe de chœur de femmes est sud-coréenne.   Invités : - Pierre Loiret, auteur notamment de plusieurs livres accompagnés de CDs sur le chant grégorien (« Origine, au commencement était le verbe » (Éd. Ad Caelum 2024), « Rayonnement, comme le cèdre du Liban » (Éd Caelum 2025), « Modalité, le Seigneur est ma lumière » (Éd. Ad Caelum, 2025) - Xavier Accart, rédacteur en chef du magazine Prier, auteur de « L'âme du grégorien, entretiens avec Louis-Marie Vigne » (Éd. du Cerf, 2025).

Fr. Mike summarizes and contextualizes the book of Philemon, addressing the tension of slavery addressed in the Bible. He provides an explanation on the continued destruction depicted in Revelation as the visions of the apostle John, holding it up to the light of the Gospel. Today's readings are Revelation 8-11, Philemon, and Proverbs 31:16-18. For the complete reading plan, visit ascensionpress.com/bibleinayear.

https://wels2.blob.core.windows.net/daily-devotions/20251227dev.mp3 Listen to Devotion All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had said through the prophet: “The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel” (which means “God with us”). When Joseph woke up, he did what the angel of the Lord had commanded him and took Mary home as his wife. But he did not consummate their marriage until she gave birth to a son. And he gave him the name Jesus. Matthew 1:22-25 God With Us Hundreds of years before the birth of Jesus, God spoke through the prophet Isaiah that he would be born of a virgin. God inspired the apostle Matthew to write about the fulfillment of that prophecy. Joseph had no sexual relations with Mary until Jesus was born. Joseph was not Jesus' father; God was. Isaiah said that “they will call him Immanuel”—(which means, “God with us).” The baby born of the virgin Mary is God with us—God became a human being because we are unable to save ourselves. We are unable to keep his commandments. We are unable even to do the one thing he requires of us: “Be holy” (Leviticus 19:2). The baby born of the virgin Mary is God with us—God became human to be one of us. To feel like we do. To eat and drink like we do. To walk and talk like we do. To go through what we go through. He didn’t do this because he needed to, but because we needed him to; so that “God with us” would show us that a human could do what God demanded. And so that “God with us” could suffer and die, and in doing so, pay for our sins. Since he is human, he could die. Since he is God, his payment is for all of us, for all time. Joseph gave him the name “Jesus.” His name declares his great purpose for coming from heaven to be with us on earth. He is our Savior who came to take us from earth to heaven! Prayer: Jesus, you came down from heaven to be with us. Your life and death accomplished my salvation. I worship and honor you for your great love. Come again and take me to be with you in heaven.

Art-Making as Spiritual Practice: Rituals of Embodied Understanding (Bloomsbury Academic Press, 2025), edited by Professor David Newheiser, is a new collection asks if it's possible to consider art-making as a spiritual practice independent of explicit religious belief or content. Where earlier research has focused on the religious significance of secular artworks, this innovative volume turns its attention to the role of the artist, and to specific examples of art practices, putting them into conversation with ritual practices. By creating a web of connections that emerge across multiple disciplines and practices, a team of scholars and artists shed new light on the way art-making and ritual embody non-discursive forms of understanding. Drawing on the work of scholars who argue that ritual practice is central to religious identities, they use close analysis of specific examples to address philosophical issues about the nature of knowledge and spirituality and the relationship between them. Art-Making as Spiritual Practice is a rich and in-depth examination of the possibility that art has spiritual meanings that are endemic to the practice of art-making itself, establishing a new paradigm that changes the conversation surrounding the spiritual, if not religious, significance of art. Professor David Newheiser is a returning champion on New Books in Secularism—he joined us in 2020 to talk about his book Hope in a Secular Age: Deconstruction, Negative Theology, and the Future of Faith (Cambridge University Press, 2020) and in 2023 he told us about his edited collection, The Varieties of Atheism (University of Chicago Press, 2022). He is Associate Professor of Religion at Florida State University, with research that explores the role of religious traditions in debates over ethics, politics, and culture. He received a PhD in Religion from the University of Chicago and an MPhil in early Christian thought from Oxford. He is also co-editor of the Journal for the Academic Study of Religion. Art-Making as Spiritual Practice: Rituals of Embodied Understanding is an open source publication, available free from Bloomsbury Academic Press, here. … Carrie Lynn Evans is a PhD candidate at Université Laval in Quebec City. carrie-lynn.evans@lit.ulaval.ca @carrielynnland.bsky.social Learn more about your ad choices.

Wandern war nie seine große Leidenschaft, mit Religion kann er längst nichts mehr anfangen, und das Verhältnis zu seiner Mutter ist eher oberflächlich – trotzdem beschloss Tobias Schlegl, gemeinsam mit seiner 73-jährigen Mutter den Jakobsweg zu gehen!Wie es zu dieser Entscheidung kam – und was die beiden unterwegs erlebt und gelernt haben, über das Wandern, das Älterwerden und einander –, davon erzählt Tobias in seinem Buch „Leichtes Herz und schwere Beine – Mit Mama auf dem Jakobsweg“ (Kiepenheuer & Witsch) – und in dieser Weltwach-Folge!Es geht um die Frage, wie wir unseren Eltern als Erwachsene begegnen können und wollen. Es geht um Blasenhorror und überfüllte Schlafsäle, Selbstzweifel, das Genervt-Sein – und um diese Momente, in denen der Camino plötzlich alles leicht macht.Und es geht um den Versuch, als erwachsener Sohn nochmal neu in Beziehung zu treten – zu einer Mutter, die sich beim Gehen als widerstandsfähiger, klarer und klüger zeigt, als Tobias es je erwartet hätte.Tobias Schlegl kennen viele noch aus dem Fernsehen – als Moderator bei Viva, der Kultursendung “aspekte” oder der Satiresendung “extra 3”. Doch 2016 wechselte er das Metier und ließ sich zum Notfallsanitäter ausbilden. In seinem gefeierten Roman „Schockraum“ erzählt er vom emotionalen Ausnahmezustand auf Rettungseinsätzen. In „See. Not. Rettung.“ berichtet er von seinen Erfahrungen auf einem Seenotrettungsschiff vor der libyschen Küste.Tobias ist jemand, der hinschaut, Verantwortung übernimmt – und den Mut hat, sich selbst zu verändern. Ob der Jakobsweg auch dafür eine Rolle spielt? Darüber sprechen wir in dieser Folge.----------------------------------Redaktion & Postproduktion: Erik Lorenz----------------------------------Dieser Podcast wird auch durch unsere Hörerschaft ermöglicht.

 If you do not take an interest in the affairs of your government, then you are doomed to live under the rule of fools.Reality is created by the mind, we can change our reality by changing our mind.A wise man speaks because he has something to say; a fool because he has to say something.No one is more hated than he who speaks the truth.The right question is usually more important than the right answer.The one who learns and learns and doesn't practice is like the one who plows and plows and never plants.The first and the best victory is to conquer self.Don't force your children into your ways, for they were created for a time different from your own.Good people do not need laws to tell them to act responsibly, while bad people will find a way around the laws.Never discourage anyone who continually makes progress, no matter how slow... even if that someone is yourself!We understand why children are afraid of darkness ... but why are men afraid of light?I am the wisest man alive, for I know one thing, and that is that I know nothing.The greatest wealth is to live content with little.Just as bees make honey from thyme, the strongest and driest of herbs, so do the wise profit from the most difficult of experiences.The measure of a man is what he does with power.One cannot make a slave of a free person, for a free person is free even in a prison.Poverty doesn't come because of the decrease of wealth but because of the increase of desires.Ignorance is the root cause of all difficulties.False words are not only evil in themselves, but they infect the soul with evil.Those who are able to see beyond the shadows and lies of their culture will never be understood let alone believed by the masses.The worst of all deceptions is self-deception.One of the penalties for refusing to participate in politics is that you end up being governed by your inferiors.When you feel grateful, you become great, and eventually attract great things.The price of apathy towards public affairs is to be ruled by evil men.Happiness springs from doing good and helping others.My Video:   Quotes Plato https://youtu.be/P2moxOUt8iQMy Audio: https://divinesuccess.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/Podcast5/Quotes-Plato.mp3

https://wels2.blob.core.windows.net/daily-devotions/20251226dev.mp3 Listen to Devotion In the past God spoke to our ancestors through the prophets at many times and in various ways, but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, and through whom also he made the universe. Hebrews 1:1-2 He Has Spoken by His Son When people want to know God’s will, they often search for a voice. Some look for signs in nature, others for whispers in their hearts. Some chase after visions or dramatic experiences. But the writer to the Hebrews reminds us that we don't need to guess where God speaks. We already have his clear Word. Long ago, God spoke through prophets like Moses and Isaiah. Their words were true, and they pointed forward to something greater. All those voices prepared the way for the day when God would speak through his Son. And that day has come. In Jesus, God has spoken once for all. Do you want to know how God feels about you? Look at his Son. See Jesus reaching out to touch the untouchable leper. Hear his voice calming the fearful. Watch him carrying your sins to the cross. Listen as he cries out, “It is finished!” That is God's message to you. No uncertainty. No guesswork. God loves you, forgives you, and calls you his child. Notice also how Jesus is described. He is the heir of all things, the One through whom the universe was made. This is no ordinary messenger. When he speaks, it is not merely advice or suggestion. It is the voice of the eternal Son of God. And that means you can trust his promises with complete confidence. So, when doubts arise, when your heart longs for assurance, you don't need to wait for a special sign from heaven. You already have the greatest sign: God has spoken by his Son. Open the Scriptures. Hear him there. His Word is living and active, still speaking forgiveness and peace into your life today. Prayer: Lord Jesus, you are the final and full Word of God. When I am tempted to look elsewhere for assurance, turn me back to you. Let me rest in your promises, for in you I hear God's love loud and clear. Amen. Daily Devotions is brought to you by WELS.

El personaje más influyente de la historia tiene 18 años perdidos. Y esos años podrían cambiar la forma en que entendemos a Jesús. Aquí exploramos la vida de Jesús de Nazaret más allá del relato bíblico oficial: los años de los que no se habla, los evangelios excluidos, las similitudes con otras tradiciones espirituales y las teorías que intentan explicar dónde estuvo y qué aprendió antes de convertirse en el Mesías que conocemos.

GetReligion editor Terry Mattingly discusses “Pope Leo XIV was religion newsmaker of 2025, of course. Who placed second?”

Das US-Militär hat Luftangriffe gegen IS-Terroristen in Nigeria geflogen. Laut US-Präsident Trump haben sich die Angriffe gegen IS-Kämpfer gerichtet, die in Nigeria Christen getötet hätten. Das nigerianische Aussenministerium liess verlauten, die Angriffe hätten nichts mit einer Religion zu tun. Alle Themen: (00:00) Intro und Schlagzeilen (00:56) USA greifen mutmassliche IS-Stellungen in Nigeria an (07:10) Nachrichtenübersicht (11:53) Myanmar: Wahlen mitten im Chaos des Bürgerkriegs (16:43) «Klima-Zölle» der EU: fair oder protektionistisch?

https://wels2.blob.core.windows.net/daily-devotions/20251225dev.mp3 Listen to Devotion The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth. John 1:14 Give Glory to God How do you know what God is really like? Some imagine him as distant, powerful but far removed from daily life. Others picture him as a stern judge, always ready to condemn. Still others think of him as a vague spiritual force, too abstract to know personally. But John tells us something remarkable: “The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us.” The eternal Son of God didn't stay far away. He didn’t just send messages through prophets or appear in visions. He came down to live with us, fully human, yet still fully God. That changes everything. In Jesus, we see exactly what God is like. He is not cold or distant. He is not waiting for us to climb up to him. Instead, he comes down to us. He steps into our weakness, our suffering, even our death. He takes on flesh so that he can carry our sins to the cross and give us his righteousness in return. John says we have seen his glory. But notice how that glory shines. It is not in earthly splendor or political power, but in humble service, in compassion for the broken, in sacrifice for sinners. The manger, the cross, and the empty tomb reveal God's glory most clearly. There, we see a God full of grace and truth. Grace, because in Jesus, we receive forgiveness we could never earn. Truth, because in Jesus, we see God's faithfulness to every promise. This means you don’t have to wonder whether God loves you. You don’t need to search for hidden signs of his presence. The Word became flesh. He lived among us. He still comes to us today through his Word and sacraments. And he will dwell with us forever in heaven. Prayer: Lord Jesus, thank you for becoming flesh and making your dwelling among us. Help me to see your glory in your life, death, and resurrection. Fill me with confidence in your grace and truth. Amen. Daily Devotions is brought to you by WELS. This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial-No Derivative Works 3.0 United States License.

On Christmas, we celebrate the good news that the Light of the world has come—not to a palace, but to a manger, and not to the impressive, but to the weary. Walking through Luke 2 and Jesus' declaration in John 8, we see how God enters real darkness with real hope. The Light didn't wait for us to find our way out; He came looking for us.The sermon is available for you at Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or bridge.tv/sermons.To support this ministry and help us continue our God given mission, click here: http://bit.ly/2NZkdrC Support the show

Mike also explains the context for St. Paul's words to St. Timothy about asceticism and caring for widows, and he ends today's reflection by encouraging us to keep fighting the good fight of faith. Today's readings are 2 John, 3 John; 1 Timothy 4-6; Proverbs 30:29-33. For the complete reading plan, visit ascensionpress.com/bibleinayear.
