Podcasts about Renewal

We all place our faith in something. We often step out confidently, only to focus on terrifying circumstances that expose our dangerous illusion of self-sufficiency. The gospel reveals a Savior who absorbed the ultimate storm of judgment so he could catch us when we fail. In this sermon, we explore Matthew 14:22-36 and how trusting the Lord of the storm with our "little-faith" turns our desperate cries into genuine worship.

Rabbi Uri Deutsch on Let's get Real with Coach Menachem Wednesday September 16 Before Yom Kippur: Forgiveness, Teshuvah & Renewal / Reflecting on the past year, making peace and seeking forgiveness between ourselves and others, and ultimately turning to Hashem for forgiveness, teshuvah, tefillah, and a fresh start

In this teaching Pastor Kaleb explores how we can remain grounded in scripture while learning from wisdom, strengths, and critiques of the wider church body.

Why does the priesthood matter so much? Holding a relic of St John Vianney, Fr Columba reflects on a line he's carried since his ordination day: the priesthood is the love of the heart of Jesus. He explains why the Eucharist and confession can only reach us through a priest, why that makes the priesthood about Christ's love rather than power, and shares an honest, personal account of hearing his own call. He closes with a simple ask: pray for the priests in your life.

Faithfulness produces fruitfulness.Pastor Richard reminds us to realign with our vision for 2026: walking with Jesus and walking with one. As we move into the final months of the year, let's remember, realign, reengage, and respond to what God is calling us to.

We begin with the Fed raising interest rates today by a quarter of a percent with an expectation there will be another increase to 4.1% later this year. Joining us to discuss how this is a response to inflation at 3.7% in July, in part caused by Trump's war on Iran, is Robert Hockett, the Edward Cornell Professor of Law and Finance and a Professor of Public Policy at Cornell University. He has first-hand experience working at the International Monetary Fund and the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, and continues to consult for a number of US federal, state and local legislators and regulators. His latest books are Money from Nothing Or, Why We Should Stop Worrying About Debt and Learn to Love the Federal Reserve, Financing the Green New Deal: A Plan of Action and Renewal and most recently, Spread the Fed: Distributed Central Banking for Productive Monetary Policy. Then we look into the Senate's blocking of the crypto-friendly Clarity Act in a rebuke to billionaire crypto bros trying to buy the next election while building unpopular data centers to manufacture crypto which has been a huge boon for criminals and scammers engaged in ransomware attacks etc. Joining us is Mark Hays, the Associate Director for Cryptocurrency and Financial Technology with Americans for Financial Reform and Demand Progress where he works to ensure effective regulatory oversight of cryptocurrency and other financial technologies. Previously, he was the Anti-Money Laundering Campaign Director at Global Witness. Then finally we speak with Donald Moynihan, the Gerald Ford School's J. Ira and Nicki Harris Family Professor of Public Policy at the University of Michigan. Previously he served as Georgetown University's McCourt School of Public Policy Chair of Public Policy and the director of the La Follette School at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. He co-directs the Better Government Lab, which looks for technology and other types of interventions to help government improve access to the social safety net and has an article at his Substack, "China Thank Trump: The Big Winner of Trump's Assault on Higher Ed is America's Chief Geopolitical Rival." We discuss how Trump has untethered himself from reality as he destroys America's economy, alliances, health, education, science, environment, soft power, rule of law, diplomacy and now our military. backgroundbriefing.org/donate twitter.com/ianmastersmedia bsky.app/profile/ianmastersmedia.bsky.social linktr.ee/backgroundbriefing

If your California CCW expires in the next year, the renewal you did last time is gone. As of September 1, every renewal needs a fresh set of Live Scan fingerprints, a passport-style photo, and another $25. Michael and Dakota walk through what AB 1078 actually changed, why the author of the bill matters more than the bill does, and the piece almost nobody has explained: the new rule runs your renewal on two separate clocks, and the one that finishes last is the one that decides when you get your permit back. Also this week: two dozen new handguns just landed on the California roster (yes, including a biometric smart gun), where the Glock ban stands now that it has been folded into Renna v.

This episode features Krista Elmore and Will Odom exploring the ongoing work of the gospel in our lives and in the world around us. The gospel is not simply the starting point of the Christian life; it is the good news that continually renews every part of it. In Christ, our identity is received rather than achieved, freeing us from both the pressure to prove ourselves and the need to define ourselves. As the gospel becomes the lens through which we see our lives, the Holy Spirit continues to reshape us through repentance, confession, and deeper dependence on Jesus, then sends us into the world to participate in His work of bringing renewal to every person and place.

Today is day 258 and we are studying The Ten Commandments. 258. What is God's Law? God's Law (Hebrew, torah: “instruction”)is God's direct pronouncement of his will, both for our good and for his glory. (Deuteronomy 30; Psalms 19:7–11; 119:89–104; Galatians 3:15–24) We will conclude today by praying the Collect for the Renewal of Life found on page 22 of the Book of Common Prayer (2019).

Rabbi Avi Havivi's siddur class at Temple Beth Am Los Angeles via Zoom - September 15, 2026Special Guest: Rabbi Avi Havivi.

Hope in the Waiting - Day 2- I Have Heard Your Prayers And Seen Your TearsIsaiah 38:5 “Go and tell Hezekiah, ‘This is what the Lord, the God of your father David, says: I have heard your prayer and seen your tears; I will add fifteen years to your life.”I love this verse because sometimes, when we have been waiting a long time for an answer to prayer, we begin to wonder if God is really listening. Maybe you have prayed the same prayer over and over again. Maybe you have cried more tears than you can count. If that is you today, I want you to hear these words personally: God has heard your prayers, and He has seen your tears.Just as it says in Isaiah 38:5, “This is what the Lord, the God of your father David, says: I have heard your prayer and seen your tears; I will add fifteen years to your life.” When I read this verse this morning, my first thought was of a friend of mine. She is really struggling right now, and I felt like God was talking to her when He said, “I have heard your prayers and seen your tears.” Then I got to thinking, and I actually have several friends who are struggling right now. Struggling with some really difficult issues. For all of you who are struggling right now, I want you to know that you are not alone. Life can be incredibly difficult, and sometimes it feels like one hardship gets piled on top of another. We have certainly walked through difficult seasons in our family too, and looking back, I can see that God was with us through all of it.What if you can't see that? What if you don't know where God was in all of it? You can be someone who loves God, someone who has a close relationship with God, and also you can question where God is and what his plan is. King David was anointed, and he had a very close relationship with God, yet even He questioned God. In Psalm 13:1-3 “How long, Lord? Will you forget me forever? How long will you hide your face from me? How long must I wrestle with my thoughts and day after day have sorrow in my heart? How long will my enemy triumph over me?” Have you had these thoughts before? Have you, or are you going through something, and you are wondering how long you have to endure the suffering before God will save you, before He will answer your prayers?If this is your first time, I want to let you know that this is okay. Sometimes, we can make our pain worse because, on top of the pain of the situation, we feel guilty because we are questioning the Lord, or we are mad at the Lord. Sometimes our minds say things like, “If I were a good Christian, I would just trust God,” or “I've had a relationship with the Lord a long time; I shouldn't be worried or questioning.” God can handle our questioning and our anger. He is strong enough for anything you have for Him. He wants you to turn to Him in times of need. You are not the only person angry with God and questioning how long you will have to suffer. Trust me. There are many people in the same boat. Please let the guilt go. Please do not judge yourself for questioning. David questioned often; just read the psalms, and you will see just how often, and yet God chose David's lineage to bring forth the Savior of the world. Second, I want you to know that this scripture verse is for you. God wants to talk directly to you right now when he says, “I have heard your prayers, and seen your tears.” He is there with you, even when you can't see Him or feel Him. He is there every moment of your life. I know it is a struggle sometimes, many times, to understand why you had to go through some of the things you had to go through. I know that not knowing is sometimes the hardest part. I want to assure you that things will get better. I don't know how, and I don't know when. I do know that God wants ridiculously good things for you. It says in Jeremiah 29:11, “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” God will get you through these difficult times, and there will be great times on the other side of this hardship. Just hang on. Just keep putting one foot in front of the other, and you will make it through this hard time.I would like to give you two things that may help get you through this difficult time. The first is from the same psalm that I read from earlier. In Psalm 13, David was questioning the Lord and asking how long he was going to have to suffer. Then he ended the Psalm with verses 5-6: “But I trust in your unfailing love; my heart rejoices in your salvation. I will sing the Lord's praise, for he has been good to me.” David does question the Lord, and then he turns back to praising the Lord. Praising the Lord in a difficult time can really help us get through that difficult time. Now, I can already hear some of you saying, “But what if I am struggling to trust in God's unfailing love?” or “What if I don't know what to say?” This is ok. God knows this. When I struggle to believe in something, I go to Mark 9:24, “Lord, I believe; help my unbelief!” Sometimes, we get to a place where we can't pray. Has this happened to you? If so, I want you to know you are in good company. I am not sure if you know this or not, but Mother Teresa had this happen to her. She was so close to the Lord; she was doing His work every single day, and yet she went through really long, like several years long, dry spells where she could not pray. She would enter into her prayer time, and nothing would come. The enemy has a way of making us feel like we are the only ones that these things happen to and that we are awful people because of it. I just want you to know that YOU ARE NOT ALONE. I think that is part of the reason why God raises up Saints. I think we usually put them on pedestals, and when we do, I think we are missing the point. I think the Saints are actually to show us very real people who are not perfect; they made mistakes, in some cases big mistakes, and yet still were capable of carrying out God's work. God does not use perfect people. He takes broken, imperfect people and makes them perfect through His grace. I think the Saints are showcasing God's redemption. If you read about the saints, you will quickly take them off the pedestal, and you will be able to see parts of yourself in them. If God could turn their lives around so completely, He could do it for all of us.The second thing is to read Scripture. If you are going through a difficult time and you are questioning if God is there, reading Scripture can be helpful. Seeing how God has shown up for others in the past can help you see how He may show up for you. If you struggle to trust in the Lord, read passages that talk about God's faithfulness. If you struggle to believe God loves you, read passages on God's love. I have recently learned of something called scripture writing. I had no idea what this was. Well, obviously, I could deduce what it meant, but I didn't know how to do it. How do you know what scripture to write? How much to write? I had several questions. The truth is, there is no one way to do it. The point is to familiarize yourself with Scripture, and you remember things better when you write them down. However, I like it when things have directions that I can follow. So, if you are like me, here is what I do. I go online and Google scripture writing plans. There will be tons of images that come up. Most of them have a theme, so I pick one that I feel resonates with me for that month. One month, I picked Be Bold; another month, I picked Repentance & Renewal. Then the plan tells you which verses to write each day. It is usually just a verse or two. I just got a notebook, and each day, I write the verse for the day. It has been really great, and I enjoy those 5-10 minutes with the Lord. If you are struggling right now, maybe give scripture writing or praising the Lord a try and see how you feel afterward. If you are not sure you know what to say when praising the Lord, you could always listen to Christian music and let the artists praise for you. If you are not sure what to pray, you can pray the scriptures. The Book of Psalms is also a great place to go for praising the Lord. If you feel like you can't praise the Lord in your circumstances, you can borrow David's praises. You will get through this hard time. God is with you! You are not alone. He may let you fall, but He will be there to catch you and put you back on even stronger ground. You are amazing, and God loves you more than you will ever know.Dear Heavenly Father, I ask that you be with everyone listening to this today. I ask that you let them see where you are in all of this. Lord, sometimes we don't understand Your plan or why we have to go through the hard times. We ask that you bless us with a supernatural trust in you. We ask that you help us to feel you in those really hard times. Lord, we ask that You fortify us with strength and protect us when we are weak. Lord, some of us are going through really difficult times and can't see the way out. I ask that you shine a light on each step of the way and fill us with assurance that you are there and are leading us out. Lord, I thank you for being strong enough to handle our questions and our anger. I thank you for your mercy that when we are angry with you or question where you are, you do not get angry with us. I thank you for the graces you give us each and every day. Lord, we love you and are constantly amazed by you. Father, we ask all of this in accordance with your will and in Jesus's holy name. AmenThank you for joining me on this journey to live boldly with Jesus. Do you know someone who has been praying and waiting for a long time? Would you consider sharing this episode—or the Hope in the Waiting series—with them? Sometimes God uses us to bring encouragement to someone who really needs it. I look forward to spending time with you again tomorrow. Have a blessed day!Today's Word from the Lord was received in February 2026 by a member of my Catholic Charismatic Prayer Group.

Send us your feedback — we're listeningPsalm 42:11 — Put Your Hope in God: A Midday Prayer When Your Heart Feels Low Themes: Hope • Encouragement • Renewal Nations in this prayer: Ireland • South Korea • Botswana • Netherlands • Israel • Zimbabwe  Sometimes perseverance carries us through the morning, but by midday we discover that our hearts are tired. This is the moment to stop, breathe and remember where our hope is found. Scripture — Psalm 42:11 (NIV) “Put your hope in God, for I will yet praise him, my Savior and my God.” By the middle of the day, the determination you had this morning may have begun to fade. You may still be doing everything that needs to be done, but inside, your heart feels low. Sometimes we keep moving while quietly wondering when we will feel hopeful again. The psalmist speaks honestly to that kind of heart and says, “Put your hope in God.” Lord Jesus, we bring You our weariness, our questions and the emotions we cannot easily explain. Today we pray for people in Ireland, South Korea, Botswana, Netherlands, Israel, and Zimbabwe. Encourage those who feel discouraged, lonely or emotionally drained. Holy Spirit, breathe fresh hope into people who have been trying to remain strong for everyone else. Jesus, teach us that hope is not pretending everything is fine. Hope is choosing to turn towards You even when our feelings have not caught up with our faith. Where disappointment has made us cynical, soften our hearts. Where waiting has made us restless, give us patience. Where we have lost sight of what You have already done, help us remember Your faithfulness. We began this day receiving mercy. Then You gave us strength to persevere. Now, Lord, lift our eyes again. You are still our Saviour. You are still our God. You are still worthy of our trust. So we breathe deeply, place our hope in You and receive fresh strength for the rest of this day. Amen. Blessing: May Jesus lift your heart today, renew your hope and remind you that you are never walking through the difficult moments alone.  midday prayer for hope, prayer when your heart feels low, Christian prayer for encouragement, Psalm 42:11 prayer, prayer for renewal, prayer when discouraged  prayer, Jesus, hope, encouragement, renewal, strength, midday, faith, Christian, devotion A midday prayer for anyone whose heart feels low, discouraged or tired.

Vision Series: Gospel RenewalSeptember 13, 2026 • RD McClenagan • John 20:21In this week of the God Has More vision series, RD McClenagan introduces Fellowship's value of gospel renewal by challenging believers to see the gospel as far bigger than a one-time message that brings salvation—it is the truth and power that continually transforms every part of the Christian life. Using Paul's confrontation of Peter in Galatians 2, RD shows how even mature believers can live out of step with the gospel when fear, approval, performance, or other idols become more real to them than their identity and acceptance in Christ. The fullness of the gospel reminds believers that in Christ they are justified, regenerated, sanctified, adopted, and continually being transformed by the Holy Spirit, giving them a secure foundation that does not depend on their behavior, circumstances, or the approval of others. Gospel renewal happens as Christians continually preach the gospel to themselves, behold Christ, confess and put sin to death, and intentionally apply gospel truth to the specific places in their lives where they are tempted to look elsewhere for security or worth. Rather than moving on from the gospel, believers are invited to move more deeply into it, discovering throughout their lives just how great, beautiful, and sufficient God's saving work in Christ has always been. GOD HAS MORE PODCAST: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLRUh2XoKC-RcWEBSITE: https://fellowshipknox.org/INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/fellowshipknox/

The Best Real Estate Investing Advice From REIcon 2026 REIcon 2026 is officially over. After a packed weekend of presentations, panels, live coaching, deal analysis and conversations with investors from across Canada, Wayne and Gabby are back on the Canadian Real Estate Investing Morning Show sharing some of the best advice they gave from the stage. In today's episode, they recap several of the biggest lessons from the weekend, including a creative way to negotiate inspection repairs, the three real estate opportunities Wayne believes are strongest in Edmonton right now, why residential real estate should not automatically be considered inferior to multifamily, and why buying the property is only the beginning. One of the biggest messages from the weekend: You don't make all your money when you buy the property. How you manage that property afterward determines what you actually keep. Don't Leave an Event Without What You Came For Wayne's final advice before leaving REIcon on Saturday was simple. If you paid to attend an educational event and still have a question preventing you from taking action, do not leave without getting it answered. Find the person who knows. Ask the expert. Talk to the lender. Talk to the lawyer. Talk to the investor. Talk to the contractor. The entire point of attending an event like REIcon is to leave with more clarity than you arrived with. Monday morning eventually comes. Motivation fades. What matters is whether you actually learned something that allows you to take the next step. A Creative Way to Negotiate Inspection Repairs One of Gabby's favourite conversations happened Friday night. An investor had a property under contract. The numbers worked. He liked the property. Then the home inspection revealed several repairs. The seller did not want to reduce the price or complete the work. The investor was considering walking away because every additional dollar he personally invested into repairs would reduce his return on investment. Gabby suggested a different approach. Instead of asking the seller to lower the purchase price: Increase it. Then require the seller to complete the repairs before closing. Why? Because the increased purchase price may allow more of the total acquisition cost to be incorporated into the mortgage financing, while the seller uses the additional proceeds to complete the required work. The seller can potentially walk away with roughly the same net amount. The buyer avoids funding the entire repair bill separately out of pocket. And the deal may stay together. It will not work in every transaction and needs to make sense with the lender, appraisal and contract structure, but it demonstrates an important investing principle: Price is only one part of a negotiation. Stop Obsessing Only Over Purchase Price Investors often become fixated on negotiating the lowest possible purchase price. But the better question is: How do I structure the entire transaction so the investment works? Price. Repairs. Closing date. Financing. Conditions. Credits. Terms. Possession. All of these can matter. Sometimes paying slightly more for the property can actually create a better investment if the overall structure reduces the amount of additional cash you need to contribute. The Three Edmonton Opportunities Wayne Highlighted at REIcon During Saturday morning's live Morning Show, Wayne shared the three opportunities he currently believes are among the strongest in Edmonton: Legal suited houses Edmonton townhouses Multi-unit garden suites Each opportunity serves a different investor. Different capital. Different experience. Different risk tolerance. Different return expectations. There is no single asset class that is automatically superior to everything else. #1: Legal Suited Houses If somebody forced Wayne to choose a straightforward Edmonton rental property for an investor with limited experience, he would choose a legal suited house. Why? They are relatively simple. They have diversified rental income. They serve a broad tenant base. They tend to be resilient. And Wayne believes they are difficult to completely mess up if they are purchased properly. The trade-off? They may not produce the highest returns. Wayne describes them more as a safe and dependable strategy than the highest-return strategy available. For someone wanting a relatively straightforward long-term rental property, that can be exactly what they need. #2: Edmonton Townhouses Edmonton townhouses remain one of Wayne's favourite opportunities. He has been buying them for years. His students are buying them. And he believes the opportunity still exists today. A major advantage is accessibility. A typical Edmonton townhouse may sell for approximately $200,000 to $220,000. At 20% down, that means an investor may need approximately: $40,000 to $44,000 for the down payment. Compare that with a suited house requiring closer to $100,000 or a development requiring hundreds of thousands of dollars. That lower entry point makes townhouses accessible to far more investors. Why Wayne Likes Townhouses So Much Wayne says the returns he has achieved on carefully selected Edmonton townhouses have been exceptional when combining: Appreciation Mortgage paydown Cash flow Some properties were purchased for approximately $160,000 and are now worth well over $200,000. On certain investments, Wayne says the combined return relative to the original invested capital has exceeded 100%. That does NOT mean every Edmonton townhouse will produce those results. The complex matters. The neighbourhood matters. The condo corporation matters. The purchase price matters. Due diligence matters. The property still needs to be selected properly. But Wayne believes investors continue to overlook the strategy because it does not sound as impressive as owning a large apartment building. Residential vs Multifamily One of Wayne's messages throughout the weekend was: Residential and multifamily are apples and oranges. Multifamily is not automatically the "next level." Residential is not automatically beginner investing. Some multifamily deals will outperform residential deals. Some residential deals will dramatically outperform multifamily deals. The correct comparison is the actual investment. Capital required. Cash flow. Risk. Return. Financing. Management. Exit options. Potential appreciation. Wayne believes investors sometimes chase multifamily because it feels bigger rather than because the actual numbers are better. #3: Edmonton Garden Suites The third major opportunity is multi-unit garden suites. This strategy requires considerably more capital and sophistication. Wayne and Gabby are currently developing multi-unit garden suites behind existing Edmonton houses. Instead of demolishing the original house, they retain it and build additional residential units on the property. The finished property can then potentially operate more like a multifamily asset. The strategy combines: An existing house. Newly created units. New rental income. Value creation through development. And potentially an income-based appraisal upon completion. Creating Hundreds of Thousands in Equity Wayne says their current garden-suite developments are projected to create substantial equity upon completion. Depending on the individual property, he discusses potential value creation in the range of approximately: $250,000 to $400,000 The strategy may also allow them to refinance the completed property and recover a significant portion, and potentially all, of the original invested capital. The remaining property then continues operating as a cash-flowing asset. This is effectively a development version of the BRRRR strategy. But Wayne emphasizes that this is considerably more complicated than simply buying a townhouse or suited house. Execution matters. Financing matters. Development costs matter. Property selection matters. Appraisal methodology matters. And investors need enough capital to complete the project. The Window of Opportunity Is Closing Wayne has been discussing Edmonton's investment window for several years. His view remains that Edmonton prices are still relatively affordable compared with the rents certain properties can produce. But that relationship will not last forever. Prices have been increasing. Certain rents are now softening. And eventually the rent-to-price ratio will become less attractive. Wayne believes Edmonton is already partway through that window. The goal is not to panic-buy. The goal is to recognize opportunities while the fundamentals still work. Buying the Property Is Only the Beginning One of Gabby's strongest messages from the weekend came during their property and asset management presentation. Investors spend enormous amounts of time learning: How to find a deal. How to analyze it. How to negotiate it. How to finance it. How to close it. But ownership can last 20 years. The acquisition may take a few weeks. The management lasts decades. Gabby's point: Once you take possession, how you manage the property ultimately determines your profits. A fantastic deal can become a terrible investment through poor management. You Can Self-Manage a Large Portfolio Wayne and Gabby also challenged the idea that investors automatically need a professional property manager as their portfolio grows. They have self-managed their rental portfolio remotely since they started. That does not mean personally doing everything. It means building systems. Communication systems. Maintenance systems. Inspection systems. Rent collection systems. Renewal systems. Contractor systems. Bookkeeping systems. Documentation systems. Then, as the portfolio grows, specific tasks can be delegated. Wayne and Gabby now use an assistant for portions of the communication and administration. But the assistant operates inside systems they created. That distinction matters. Trust the System Wayne describes seeing rental-property emails during the REIcon weekend and barely registering them. Years ago, those issues might have consumed his attention. Today, he trusts the system. That allows him to focus on: Acquisitions. Developments. New businesses. Joint ventures. Raising capital. Family. And everything else requiring his attention. That is the real purpose of systems. Not simply organization. Freedom. Remote Property Management Course – 50% Off This Week Following the response to their REIcon presentation, Gabby is offering a temporary 50% discount on the REI Masters Remote Property Management Course. The course teaches the systems Wayne and Gabby use to manage their rental portfolio remotely. The eight-module course covers how to create a property-management operation that does not require the owner to personally attend every showing, inspection, maintenance call or tenant issue. Visit: www.reimasters.ca Use discount code: 50OFF for 50% off during the promotional period discussed on today's show. The Main Lesson Buying a great property matters. But buying the property is only the beginning. A great acquisition with terrible management can still become a terrible investment. The goal is to: Buy correctly. Finance correctly. Manage correctly. Build systems. And hold great properties for the long term. That is how real estate becomes a wealth-building business instead of a series of transactions.

Every human being wrestles with the exhausting concern for what others think. We chase worldly status only to end up enslaved by the opinions of an ever-watching audience. The gospel invites us to a radically different table, hosted by a compassionate King — we need only bring our lack. In this sermon, we explore Matthew 14:1-21 and how the gospel frees us from the fear of man to rest in God's satisfaction and abundance.

In Nehemiah 1, God begins rebuilding long before a single stone is put back into place. He awakens Nehemiah to brokenness, drives him to prayer, and teaches us that true renewal looks up to God, looks within with honesty, looks back to His promises, and looks forward with surrendered availability. Ultimately, Nehemiah reminds us that God's greatest concern has never merely been rebuilding walls—it is renewing people, something only Jesus can ultimately accomplish.

I have followed his work for some time, moved by the depth of his writing and the rare quality of his presence, and I have long wanted to bring him into this conversation. Today, that moment has arrived, and I am genuinely looking forward to what we will explore together.Francis brings to this work something that is not easy to name but impossible to miss — a willingness to sit inside the hardest human experiences without rushing toward resolution, and a gift for language that meets grief where it actually lives.In this episode, we cover06:00 Becoming Acquainted With the Customs of Sorrow and Grief07:06 People Feeling Sorrow Differently - Why?08:38 The Two Primary Sins of the Western World09:51 Places to Take Grief to11:19 Grief is Never Far12:08 Cultivating an Apprenticeship with Sorrow21:22 My Anchor in Grief24:09 Learning to Trust Grief27:04 Every Human is a Carrier of Grief34:05 What Happens on Grief Retreats?About today's guestFrancis Weller is a psychotherapist, writer, and soul activist.

In this episode we explore why christians must begin with the truth before becoming consumed with identifying false teaching and distorted views of Jesus. We hope you enjoy!

Do you ever feel like prayer only really counts if you're kneeling in silence with nothing else going on? Fr Columba opens with a story about two young friars asking their spiritual director whether it's alright to smoke while you pray, and uses it to get at something bigger: can ordinary things, gardening, chores, even physio, actually become prayer too? Drawing on his own experience praying the rosary while doing physiotherapy, and watching the Missionaries of Charity pray while they cooked for the homeless, he makes the case that dedicated prayer time still matters most, but it was never meant to be the only kind. If your day feels too full for prayer, this is an invitation to bring Jesus into it anyway.

Hello Beautiful, I'm so grateful you're here with me. Give yourself permission to fully rest tonight so tomorrow can begin with renewed energy. This 3 hour sleep meditation helps calm anxiety, relax your body, and support deep, healing sleep through the night. Love,

Welcome. One of my favorite things about life is that we don't have to wait for a new year, a new month, or even a new week to begin again. Sometimes all it takes is one intentional pause... one deep breath... and a willingness to take the next small step. Let's take that step together. Love, Jody Learn more about your ad choices.

What did Jesus really think about money? When he overturned the tables of the money changers in the Temple in Jerusalem, accusing them of turning a sacred "house of prayer" into a "den of robbers", he also set off a series of events that would eventually lead to his death. But what exactly was he attacking? The traders themselves, or the wider economic and religious system they represented? Biblical scholar Tom Thatcher joins Gillian and Robin to explore the financial world of Jesus of Nazareth - from taxation, debt and inequality to the extraordinary economic power of that Temple in Jerusalem. Plus, if Jesus were alive today, where would he sit on the political and economic spectrum? Could his ideas about money and inequality offer a challenge to the way we think about capitalism today? Could he even be described as socialist?Further reading: John, Jesus, and the Renewal of Israel by Richard A.

Today is day 252 and we are studying A Rule of Prayer: Toward a Rule of Life 252.What is a rule of life? A rule of life is a discipline by which I order my worship, work, and leisure as a pleasing sacrifice to God. (Deuteronomy 6:1–9; Psalm 103; John 15:1–15; Romans 12:1–2; Colossians 3:12–17) We will conclude today with A Collect for Renewal of Life in Morning Prayer found on page 23 of the Book of Common Prayer (2019).

Human beings are story-formed people. There's a story that has formed you; and there's a story (the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus) that can transform you. In this sermon we consider the life of the Apostle Paul as narrated in Acts 22 to learn how the good grace of Jesus comes to meet us in the midst of our life story.

Edge God In Podcast 336: The Book of 1 Chronicles: When Faith is tested EdgeGodIn.com | Host: Estella Chavous Championing Human Potential in Christ Download Bible Study Template Learning Objectives By the end of this podcast and Bible study, participants will be able to: Understand the biblical context and major themes of 1 Chronicles, including identity, remembrance, leadership, worship, covenant, preparation, service, and spiritual legacy. Recognize how remembering God’s faithfulness can strengthen our identity and help us remain grounded during seasons of change. Identify behaviors, attitudes, and priorities that can either strengthen or weaken our relationship with God and our ability to fulfill what He has entrusted to us. Apply the EIC (Encounter–Identified Behavior–Course Correct) Framework to examine their relationship with God, their priorities, leadership, service, and preparation for what God is calling them to do. Develop greater spiritual confidence, intentionality, humility, and faithfulness as they seek to build lives that honor God and positively influence others. Three key areas of understanding: Remember Your Story Your Assignment Does Not Have to Look Like Someone Else’s Faithfulness Is a Form of Worship Scriptures: 1 Chronicles | Colossians 3:23 | Galatians 6:4 | Galatians 6:4 | Deuteronomy 8:2 | 1 Chronicles 28:20 | 1 Chronicles 28:20 | Romans 12:1 | 1 Corinthians 3:6 | Psalm 77:11 | 1 Chronicles 29:11 | 1 Chronicles 28:20 | 1 Chronicles 28:9 | 1 Chronicles 16:11 Heavenly Father, Thank You for Your Word and for the reminder that our lives are part of a story much greater than ourselves. As we begin our study of 1 Chronicles, help us understand the importance of remembering where we have come from, recognizing who we are in You, and understanding what You have entrusted to us. Teach us to value preparation as much as accomplishment. Help us understand that sometimes You call us to build, and sometimes You call us to prepare someone else to build. Give us the humility to serve when we are not receiving recognition. Give us the wisdom to prepare when the results are not yet visible. Give us the courage to lead with integrity and the discipline to remain faithful in the small things. Help us remember Your faithfulness in our past so that we can trust You with our future. Show us anything in our lives that needs to be realigned. Help us place You at the center of our priorities, our relationships, our work, our leadership, and our purpose. May our lives become an offering of worship to You. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Every healthy organization, every company, every living organism needs moments to stop and take stock.How are we doing? What worked? What didn't? What can we learn? What needs to be repaired? And most importantly: How do we take those lessons and create a better future?This time of year gives us that opportunity. It is a season of reflection, introspection, and soul-searching.But true reflection requires two essential ingredients.First, accountability—the courage to look honestly at our lives. To acknowledge what we've been blessed with and express gratitude, while also having the honesty to recognize what needs repair and where we can do better.And then comes the second step: renewal. We cannot remain trapped in the past. Reflection is not about looking backward for its own sake; it is about looking back so we can move forward—with greater clarity, purpose, and intention.Please join Rabbi Simon Jacobson as we mark this important milestone in our lives: From Reflection to Renewal: Looking Back with Gratitude. Moving Forward with Purpose.

Jesus said that those who believe in Him would do the works He did-and even "greater works."But what does that mean? In this episode Pastor Kaleb takes a closer Look! We hope you enjoy!

Do you turn prayer into a negotiation, bargaining with God until you get the outcome you want? Fr Columba shares a story from summer camp, praying for good weather on a beach trip, only to watch the rain start on the way there, to show what trust actually looks like. Instead of trying to control what God does, he's learned to trust that God loves the people we're praying for more than he ever could, and has something better planned no matter how things look. It's a shift that changes how you pray, and how much peace you carry into whatever happens next.

In this powerful message, Samuel Goulet calls listeners to see revival not as a distant event, but as a personal surrender that begins now and overflows into families, workplaces, cities, and nations. Drawing from Scripture and historic moves of God. He shows how true reformation starts with repentance, renewal by the Holy Spirit, and a life reconciled to Christ—then becomes a witness that can transform culture. If you're hungry for deeper faith, renewed purpose, and a vision for what God can do through ordinary people fully yielded to Him, this episode will stir your heart and challenge you to live as part of that overflow.
