Podcasts about Reverence

Welcome to episode 90 of The Way Out Is In: The Zen Art of Living, a podcast series mirroring Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh's deep teachings of Buddhist philosophy: a simple yet profound methodology for dealing with our suffering, and for creating more happiness and joy in our lives. In this installment, Zen Buddhist monk Brother Phap Huu and leadership coach/journalist Jo Confino are joined by Nho Tran, a nun in the Plum Village tradition for 17 years now continuing her spiritual journey as a layperson.  Together, they explore the profound importance of spiritual friendship in the Buddhist tradition, while Brother Phap Huu and Nho reflect on the personal journey of their decades-long friendship. They discuss the teachings of Thich Nhat Hanh on the centrality of community and togetherness in cultivating joy, stability, and liberation; the challenges and growth experienced through friendship; and the importance of deep listening and being present for one another, which allows for vulnerability, honesty, and the freedom to be one’s authentic self. Bio Nho Tran is a scholar, facilitator, and former Buddhist nun in the Plum Village tradition of Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh. She spent many years living and practicing in monastic communities across Asia, Europe, and North America, where she cultivated a deep commitment to interbeing, cultural resilience, and the art of mindful living. Nho's work sits at the intersection of conflict transformation, ethics, and systems thinking. Drawing on her monastic formation and experience across diverse sectors, she supports individuals and communities in navigating difficult conversations, fostering cultural change, and reimagining leadership grounded in compassion and collective wisdom. She holds a joint degree in Cognitive Neuroscience and Religion from the University of Southern California, a Master of Divinity from Harvard Divinity School, and an MA from Harvard University. She is currently a PhD candidate at Harvard's Graduate School of Arts and Sciences, where her research explores the intersections of religion, ethics, governance, and Vietnamese Buddhist history. Nho teaches negotiation, ethics, and conflict resolution at Harvard, and continues to serve as a bridge between contemplative practice and social transformation.

It is also the intention that a teacher sees our potential in it. And it’s something that is given to us to practice for our whole life.” “Learn to befriend yourself first, and then learn to be a friend of many.” “Spiritual friendship is the whole of the spiritual path. It is the entirety of the spirit path.” “Monk, you have to have a good friendship. You have to have good conversations. You have to have good deeds. You have to have good efforts. And then you have a grasp on impermanence.” “The joy of meditation is daily food.” “One of our teacher Thay’s realizations was that our deepest suffering is loneliness, and it comes from the wrong views of what success is, which is individualistic.” “Reverence is the nature of my love.” “In true love, there’s freedom.” “True love is being present.” “Understanding is another word for love.” “Mindfulness always has to have an object.” “There are ways in which, when people hear, ‘Oh, in true love, there is freedom', they will be like, ‘Oh, freedom means I can do whatever I want.' There’s a sort of recklessness. And that’s not the type of freedom I’m talking about. I’m talking about some real, raw, internal stuff, where I can show up in this relationship and he can show up in this relationship in his undefended self.” “We have to expand our hearts and our way of being to bring people in, because we need friends.” “Thay said that even if you’re an activist and you're saving people’s lives and you’re building humanity and rebuilding villages, if you’re doing it from a place of self, of pride and ego: don’t do it. Enter into interbeing; do this because you see them as you, then you can be ‘in service of'.” “A true friend is someone who understands your suffering, who listens deeply without judging and who is capable of being there with you in difficult moments. They don’t try to fix you, they simply sit with you, in mindfulness. This kind of presence is rare and it is a great gift. When you find such a friend, cherish them, because they help you touch the peace and freedom that are already within you.” “The greatest technology we have is each other. These relationships that we have with each other, we keep seeking something else. But the thing that makes us feel like we are living a meaningful life is being seen and acknowledged and recognized by the gaze of another person, the loving gaze of another person.” “The most powerful spiritual technology is the coming together.” “I tell people to come to Plum Village, but not to try to learn something. Come here just to be. Because I think our thirst for ‘a fix' is so powerful now. We’re looking for a spiritual teaching to fix us; we’re looking to fix all of our suffering. And guess what? Some of your suffering, you might not be able to fix it.”

Men...this is your wake-up call.In this solemn Corpus Christi message, Fr. Dom lays down a spiritual gauntlet for every Catholic man. Drawing from John 6, the chilling testimony of a former Satanist, and undeniable Eucharistic miracles verified by secular science, this episode is a gripping challenge to rise, believe, and live as if the Eucharist truly is what Christ said it is.Fr. Dom dives headfirst into the mystery and reality of the Holy Eucharist, the beating heart of our faith—and the battleground Satan most wants to desecrate. This isn't a theological lecture—it's a direct call for action, faith, and reverence. You will never look at the Mass or Holy Communion the same way again.If you've grown lukewarm, distracted, or have ever doubted the Real Presence, this episode is for you. If you want to be a man of God, a true soldier of Christ, then lift up your heart and listen.

Caitanya Mahāprabhu teaches actually that The Holy Name is very merciful and descends for our benefit, but we mustn't take it for granted. Not taking it for granted means giving full attention to the chanting. If we do that, we'll find for ourselves what is called nāma-bala, or strength that we get from the name. We'll understand that even chanting in nāmābhāsa, although we haven't realized the direct manifestation of Kṛṣṇa in His name, we'll start to feel the effects of chanting, and will get faith. In nāma-aparādha or chanting without attention would be like calling somebody to speak to them, and they come over to you, and then you turn your back on them and get on your cell phone. How would they feel? Similarly, when we're chanting Hare Kṛṣṇa, Hare Kṛṣṇa, we're calling Kṛṣṇa, "Please come. Please help me." And when He comes, if I turn around and do something else with my mind, with my intelligence, or even physically, if I turn the other way and start fixing a curtain rod, then this is a kind of an offense.Bhaktivinoda Ṭhākura says this kind of chanting can actually lead to atheism. Why? Because if I do that repeatedly, then I'll start to think that there is no actual manifestation of The Holy Name because I'm not experiencing it. I'm not getting nāma-bala or strength, I'm not having any sphūrti or direct realization of The Holy Name. And then I'll start to commit the fifth offense and think that The Holy Name is imagination, that somebody just made it up. There's some made-up philosophy, and then there's a series of other events he describes, in which I try to justify the situation. And then people can even stop the process altogether and become lost again in the material whirlpool, drowned. So it's incumbent upon the sādhaka to take the process of chanting seriously, and seriously means to give your full attention when chanting. So that takes practice, because the mind is accustomed to taking shelter of distraction and finding pleasure in it. It actually feels some kind of perverse satisfaction in moving from one thing to the next. It's a kind of conditioning. Or, it takes shelter in dullness or laya, where my mind feels satisfaction in sleep—in a kind of thick darkness, in which I zone out from the variety of the world. And then when I wake up, I get back into the distracted state. In order to come to the state of actually full focus on The Holy Name, ekāgra—where I'm one-pointed—it takes a lot of practice, and also a kind of again and again practicing simplicity of the mind: that I'm okay without being distracted, without going to other things, and I can simply focus on the chanting without going anywhere else. ------------------------------------------------------------ To connect with His Grace Vaiśeṣika Dāsa, please visit https://www.fanthespark.com/next-steps/ask-vaisesika-dasa/ ------------------------------------------------------------ Add to your wisdom literature collection: https://iskconsv.com/book-store/ https://www.bbtacademic.com/books/ https://thefourquestionsbook.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------ Join us live on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/FanTheSpark/ Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/sound-bhakti/id1132423868 For the latest videos, subscribe https://www.youtube.com/@FanTheSpark For the latest in SoundCloud: https://soundcloud.com/fan-the-spark ------------------------------------------------------------ #spiritualawakening #soul #spiritualexperience #spiritualpurposeoflife #spiritualgrowthlessons #secretsofspirituality #vaisesikaprabhu #vaisesikadasa #vaisesikaprabhulectures #spirituality #bhaktiyoga #krishna #spiritualpurposeoflife #krishnaspirituality #spiritualusachannel #whybhaktiisimportant #whys

When we encounter the Lord it must challenge our perspective: I. ... of our allegiance II. ...of God's holiness III. ...of God's commands.

Today, we have one of the vocation stories in the Gospels. These are some of the most beautiful stories we read about in the Gospels, and we find them in all four Gospels.They all consist in three things: a meeting, an invitation, and a following.These stories are beautiful and powerful for us because they are a representation of our own life.Of course, they are particularly a representation of the life of a priest, a monk or a nun, those people who have given their lives for the service of Our Lord Jesus Christ.But they are also a representation of the lives of the Catholic faithful. All of the faithful are called by Our Lord to be holy, to follow Him, to love Him and serve Him in their lives.The vocation story in today's Gospel helps us understand what we need to do to answer the call of Our Lord. It is interesting that Our Lord was not content with preaching from the boats of these fishermen whom He was going to turn into fishers of men.He could have just stopped preaching and said, “Come, follow Me”. But, instead, He wanted to work a miracle before issuing the call. Why did He do this?Because great reverence is needed to follow the call of Our Lord. It is not enough that we see Him as a great preacher; we have to see Him as God.Our Lord works this miracle of a great catch of fish, so great that there are more fish than can be contained in one boat. Both boats were even sinking when they were filled with the fish. When St. Peter sees this, he has an immediate realization: this man is holy. I don't think St. Peter knew yet that Our Lord was God. But he knew that He was holy: only a holy man could work such a miracle.When St. Peter sees the miracle, a great reverence for Our Lord awakens in his heart. He casts himself on his knees, in an attitude of respect, submission, and petition. He realizes how sinful he is in comparison to Our Lord and tells Our Lord that he is not worthy to be in His presence.But, in fact, the truth is the contrary: the reverence of St. Peter for Our Lord is what is going to enable him to answer the call of Our Lord and fulfill his great vocation of being the first Pope.The same is true with answering the call to holiness. Our Lord calls all of us to a greater union with Him. It is reverence that will enable us to answer that call. Reverence will make us want to pray, will make us fervent in our prayer, will make us fear sin and keep a close watch over ourselves.Reverence is often what leads Catholics to traditional Catholicism. They start to realize the respect that is owed to God, that that respect is not given in the New Mass, and that the TLM treats God with the respect that He deserves.

There's many different types of magick in this world, and the Primordial Beings offer such a beautiful form of magick to us. Here in this episode, we break down the Primordial Beings magick and having a relationship to them. I'll admit, the beginning of the episode is a bit chaotic- but would it really be Aquarius if there wasn't some chaos? Thankfully it turns into an educational moment. This is also the first episode of Coven related magick at the end, so if you're interested in joining us you're more than welcome to. The Coven group chat is also posted below, if you're interested in joining us. There's a full Coven Update (including my new PO BOX) with the Substack blog for this episode at https://vordr.substack.com/.Notes for the Episode:To Activate this work to be bound in the coven space, and under the cover of the coven, Speak the following at the beginning:“The Order of this work is bound, encompassing Love, Truth, Free, Honor, Glory, Elevation, Gratitude, Reverence, Justice, Magick, Spirit, Liberation, Free, and Love, to the Coven, a Guild, under the Highest Spirit, and so it is.And to end the work that's involved with the coven:“I close and seal this work and order, and so it is.” I always like to close thanking the spirits involved, which will also involved the other practitioners of the coven for this. Don't ever force gratitude, but if it feels natural then definitely give gratitude to the spirits involved in the work, and the coven space as you feel called to.Unbinding from the Winds Offering to the WindsTalk to the Winds and offer your gratitude, your words, your love-you can sing, breathe with the intention of offering to the winds, however you choose to offer be sure it is true for youAfter offering Gratitude to the Winds, tell the winds what's been going on, what's been blocking you, locking you in, and binding you into the position that you've been in. Sometimes with Pluto we need to be direct, and sometimes we have no idea what we're talking about until after we say what we need to- so, use your discernment for when you need to be specific and general.We cannot unbind ourselves without being re-bound into something new, so what is that you want to be bound to instead of the blockages and locks that have been on you? Where to you need to change to usher in new life? For this, Be specific. Binding contracts can ask us to identify loopholes, so if you feel called to say “I want to be bound to ‘this', without ‘these prices',” then I highly suggest you do that.This is not the work of a miracle. This is the work of the Primordial Spirits, making sure their kids (us) are okay in the world. Be mindful of how you talk to them. They are older than the Earth itself. This work need be done hassle and struggle free, so be sure to ask that it is done that way. May the work be as direct as possible, as easy as possible, and not involving pain, struggle, or interruption to your current priorities of your life and practice. And May it be done through Love and Elevation. Offering to the Winds examples:DancingRunningWalkingCookingSmokeFansYour ac unitBreathing Driving Just know, from the above, however you choose to offer to the winds, that space will now be involved in the work, and you'll probably be asked to pick it up again. For example if you offer the winds the are made from you driving a car, then when you drive your car there could be some clearings of old contracts and realizations of new contracts while you're in the car/driving. So, choose mindfully, and make sure that it's in an area of your life that you feel welcoming and comfortable to bring into the unbinding and rebinding of contracts via Pluto.❤️Become an Exclusive Sub❤️https://www.vordr.art/support

Reverence for Impulse Is an unscripted and unplanned podcast with me, Weena Pauly-Tarr and my brother Tim Pauly, both working in the worlds of somatics: exploring bodies and all they hold/do/feel. We start each guest encounter with a few minutes of meeting each other without words, through the language of our bodies, before we press record and bring it to a conversation. This is not a hard hitting agenda or getting to the bottom of things. It's about finding each other in the not-knowing. We're here for the spaciousness, the awkwardness, the silliness, the silence — from the dark insides of our bodies to the bright insights of our minds, we're excited to welcome people who's impulses we'd like to get to know.

The Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ 

In this final installment of our introductory series on Eastern Orthodoxy for Reformed Christians, Camden Bucey explores Orthodox worship and sacramental theology through a Reformed lens. This episode provides a careful and charitable overview of Eastern Orthodox liturgical practices, including the Divine Liturgy, veneration of icons, and the centrality of the Eucharist. What makes Eastern Orthodox worship distinct? Why are icons and incense used? What theological principles undergird these practices? Camden discusses the symbolism of Eastern Orthodox worship while also addressing key doctrinal differences—especially concerning the second commandment, the regulative principle, and the doctrine of salvation. Whether you're a Reformed believer curious about the traditions of the East or seeking to understand why some are drawn to Orthodoxy's mystery and aesthetic, this episode offers insight, clarity, and biblical reflection.

Isaiah 1: 2-202 Hear me, you heavens! Listen, earth!    For the Lord has spoken:“I reared children and brought them up,    but they have rebelled against me.3 The ox knows its master,    the donkey its owner's manger,but Israel does not know,    my people do not understand.”4 Woe to the sinful nation,    a people whose guilt is great,a brood of evildoers,    children given to corruption!They have forsaken the Lord;    they have spurned the Holy One of Israel    and turned their backs on him.5 Why should you be beaten anymore?    Why do you persist in rebellion?Your whole head is injured,    your whole heart afflicted.6 From the sole of your foot to the top of your head    there is no soundness—only wounds and welts    and open sores,not cleansed or bandaged    or soothed with olive oil.7 Your country is desolate,    your cities burned with fire;your fields are being stripped by foreigners    right before you,    laid waste as when overthrown by strangers.8 Daughter Zion is left    like a shelter in a vineyard,like a hut in a cucumber field,    like a city under siege.9 Unless the Lord Almighty    had left us some survivors,we would have become like Sodom,    we would have been like Gomorrah.10 Hear the word of the Lord,    you rulers of Sodom;listen to the instruction of our God,    you people of Gomorrah!11 “The multitude of your sacrifices—    what are they to me?” says the Lord.“I have more than enough of burnt offerings,    of rams and the fat of fattened animals;I have no pleasure    in the blood of bulls and lambs and goats.12 When you come to appear before me,    who has asked this of you,    this trampling of my courts?13 Stop bringing meaningless offerings!    Your incense is detestable to me.New Moons, Sabbaths and convocations—    I cannot bear your worthless assemblies.14 Your New Moon feasts and your appointed festivals    I hate with all my being.They have become a burden to me;    I am weary of bearing them.15 When you spread out your hands in prayer,    I hide my eyes from you;even when you offer many prayers,    I am not listening.Your hands are full of blood!16 Wash and make yourselves clean.    Take your evil deeds out of my sight;    stop doing wrong.17 Learn to do right; seek justice.    Defend the oppressed.[a]Take up the cause of the fatherless;    plead the case of the widow.18 “Come now, let us settle the matter,”    says the Lord.“Though your sins are like scarlet,    they shall be as white as snow;though they are red as crimson,    they shall be like wool.19 If you are willing and obedient,    you will eat the good things of the land;20 but if you resist and rebel,    you will be devoured by the sword.”For the mouth of the Lord has spoken.IntroductionThe Judgement of GodHolinessWrathThe Mercy of GodPatienceRedemptionThe Reasoning of GodHis DesireHis WillHis GloryOur ResponseFearGratitudeObedience

In this heartfelt one-off broadcast from Radio Maria Ireland, Fr. Eamonn and Mary Hooten share a reflective and passionate conversation on the theme of reverence—particularly in relation to the Holy Eucharist and the Feast of Corpus Christi. L'articolo Recovering Reverence: Reflections on the Holy Eucharist proviene da Radio Maria.

This week's message explores the profound concept of God's presence through the lens of the Old Testament tabernacle. This portable sanctuary, described in Exodus 25-27, beautifully illustrates two seemingly contradictory truths about our relationship with God. First, we learn that God eagerly moves towards sinners, desiring to dwell among His people despite their imperfections. The tabernacle, placed at the center of the Israelite camp, symbolizes God's willingness to be present in the midst of our messy lives. However, we're also met with another fact: that accessing God's presence shouldn't be casual - it requires reverence and following His prescribed path. This tension between God's accessibility and His holiness challenges us to approach Him with both confidence and awe. As we reflect on this, we're invited to cultivate a deeper appreciation for God's desire to be near us while maintaining a healthy reverence for His holiness in our daily lives.

I asked NotebookLM to generate a little NPR style Segment about my posts on Substack.In this sweeping overview, Chris Abraham dives into the key themes explored across 46 Substack entries—spanning American politics, culture, power, belief, and even Barovian necromancy. This episode offers a distilled map of Chris's evolving thought: from metaphors of cosplay and empire, to the weaponization of empathy and the strange resilience of populism. It's part debrief, part polemic, and part spiritual reckoning.Key Themes Covered:

Psalm 19:7-10 (from the Archive)New Living Translation7 The instructions of the Lord are perfect,    reviving the soul.The decrees of the Lord are trustworthy,    making wise the simple.8 The commandments of the Lord are right,    bringing joy to the heart.The commands of the Lord are clear,    giving insight for living.9 Reverence for the Lord is pure,    lasting forever.The laws of the Lord are true;    each one is fair.10 They are more desirable than gold,    even the finest gold.They are sweeter than honey,    even honey dripping from the comb.Music: "Rest in the Shadow" by Julian & Melissa Wiggins,Used with permission.

Preached with fire and conviction, “Whatever It Takes” challenges the laziness, compromise, and lukewarmness that infect modern Christianity.Drawing from Acts 21 and Paul's willingness to suffer and die for the Gospel, Pastor Mitchell confronts the casual believer and compels every listener to re-evaluate their priorities. Whether it's choosing God over football, holiness over entertainment, or mission over comfort, this sermon is a prophetic word to a generation in spiritual decline.

In today's Morning Manna, Rick and Doc explore the deep wisdom found in Proverbs 3:7–12, guiding listeners into the heart of God's fatherly discipline. These verses warn against self-reliance and pride, calling instead for holy reverence and trust in the Lord — even when He corrects us.The message powerfully frames chastisement as evidence of divine love, not punishment. God's discipline isn't rejection; it's refinement. Through humble surrender, reverence, and obedience — including honoring the Lord with our substance — we are invited into a life of health, provision, and purpose.Whether you're on the mountaintop or in a season of pruning, today's teaching reminds you: correction is confirmation that you are a beloved child of God.Rick Wiles, Doc Burkhart.

A movement artist, wellness activist and author of the book American Detox: The Myth of Wellness and How We Can Truly Heal, Kerri is recognized across communities for politicizing wellness and bridging personal transformation with collective change. With over 20 years experience as a yoga teacher and embodied facilitator, she has been instrumental in supporting healers, activists, organizers, and changemakers in working with the body as a site of healing, power and transformation. Kerri is known for making waves in the wellness industry by challenging norms, disrupting systems and mobilizing people to act. Rooted in the understanding that our liberation and wellbeing are bound, her leadership has inspired CTZNWELL, a collective that is democratizing wellbeing and actively organizing around issues of racial and economic justice, healthcare as a human right, civic engagement and more. Her latest project, Movement for the Movement, is a dynamic and embodied inquiry into how the body is shaped by history and culture and how the body shapes new futures and possibilities. Weaving somatic practices with social justice frameworks, this training is designed to build resilience, deepen relational capacity, and disrupt the embedded patterns that mirror oppression—even within our movements and healing spaces. kerrikelly.co ctznwell.org   Reverence for Impulse Is an unscripted and unplanned podcast with me, Weena Pauly-Tarr and my brother Tim Pauly, both working in the worlds of somatics: exploring bodies and all they hold/do/feel. We start each guest encounter with a few minutes of meeting each other without words, through the language of our bodies, before we press record and bring it to a conversation. This is not a hard hitting agenda or getting to the bottom of things. It's about finding each other in the not-knowing. We're here for the spaciousness, the awkwardness, the silliness, the silence — from the dark insides of our bodies to the bright insights of our minds, we're excited to welcome people who's impulses we'd like to get to know.

Read OnlineJesus said to his disciples: “Thus it is written that the Christ would suffer and rise from the dead on the third day and that repentance, for the forgiveness of sins, would be preached in his name to all the nations, beginning from Jerusalem. You are witnesses of these things. And behold I am sending the promise of my Father upon you; but stay in the city until you are clothed with power from on high.” Luke 24:46–49And with that, the earthly mission of Jesus was completed and He ascended into Heaven. Or was it? Was His mission completed? Yes, but only in the sense that our Lord's work of destroying death and offering new life was accomplished by His life, death and resurrection. Human nature was now invited to share in a new life of grace.Prayerfully imagine standing on the mountain of the Ascension with our Lord. As you gaze upon Him, imagine that you were also present with Him throughout His public ministry. Imagine witnessing His many miracles, the way that He converted the hardest of hearts, the authority with which He spoke, His arrest, torture, death and then His Resurrection. Imagine seeing His hands and feet, once pierced, now radiating glory from those wounds. As you see our Lord in this way, imagine Him looking at you with love and saying to you that He has chosen to send you forth to the world to be a witness to Him and to all that you have seen and encountered. You are to go forth sharing the Good News of His life, death and resurrection with all whom you come in contact with. First, our Lord has, indeed, shared His entire life with you. By reading the Gospels, you become a firsthand witness to all that Jesus did and accomplished. His Word is alive, and it reveals His very Person to you, just as it did to His first followers. Second, Jesus does call you to go forth and to share this living Gospel with the world. Therefore, it is important to ponder how you can do such a thing. How can you give witness to the Resurrection of Christ? How can you change lives? How can you continue the mission of Jesus Himself?The promise given by our Lord to the disciples on the mountain of the Ascension is also a promise given to you. He is promising to send the Holy Spirit upon you so as to clothe you “with power from on high.” Only by receiving that power and using it fully will you be able to accomplish the mission that our Lord has given to you. Therefore, will you open yourself to the Holy Spirit and commit yourself to the continuation of Christ's mission?If we were to fully understand the mission we have received from Jesus, it would fill us with a holy fear. But too often the realization of what God wants of us fills us with an unholy fear instead. We think about evangelizing others, sharing our faith, witnessing to the truth by our actions, loving our enemies and living for the Gospel alone, and it can appear overwhelming. If that is the case with you, then know that this form of unholy fear can be dispelled so that the gift of holy fear can take its place. Holy fear is a gift of the Holy Spirit that inspires us to sense the awesomeness of God and the mission we are given by encountering it firsthand. It motivates us, encourages us and leaves us with wonder and awe. From there, this and every other gift of the Holy Spirit enables us to fulfill the unending mission of Christ. Reflect, today, upon the particular mission that God has given to you. Prayerfully look at Jesus as He stands on the mountain of the Ascension and looks at you. As He does, let Him reveal to you not only His very Person but also your particular sharing in His ongoing mission of sharing the Good News to the ends of the earth. Receive that mission with courage, joy and holy fear. Reverence it, savor it, ponder it and accept it. Commit yourself to this glorious sharing in the life of Christ by committing yourself to become a witness to Christ until the end of your life on earth. My ascended Lord, as You entered body and soul into the full and glorious presence of Your Father, You handed on to your disciples the duty of completing Your mission on earth. I hear Your call in my life, dear Lord, and commit myself to the glorious task of continuing that mission on earth. Please use me as You will and fill me with power from on high so that I may help share Your saving Word to the ends of the earth.

What does it really mean to “fear the Lord”? In this message from Pastor Joshua Bundy at Covenant Church, we explore Proverbs 1:7 and a biblical definition of “the fear of the Lord” that's far richer than just being afraid. Is it terror? Respect? Awe? Reverence? The answer is yes—and more. Pastor Josh shows how the fear of the Lord is not simply an emotion, but a transformative character trait that impacts our internal world—our emotions, thoughts, desires, affections, and conscience. Drawing from both Old and New Testaments—including the story of Saul's conversion and Psalm 139—he explains how fearing the Lord can move us from trembling to peace, from guilt to growth. Whether you're skeptical of the phrase or hungry for a deeper understanding of God's holiness and presence, this sermon will challenge and encourage you. Stick around to the end for a beautiful picture of Jesus in Revelation—and how awe can shape our hearts through worship.__________ If you're new let us know & visit https://www.covenantdoylestown.org to learn more about us and how you can get connected.

Bringing Reverence into every moment of our day.

In this Thursday edition of Morning Manna, the study of Proverbs continues with an in-depth reflection on verses 6 and 7 of chapter 1. Rick Wiles and Doc Burkhart explore the three layers of these verses: understanding proverbs and interpretations, valuing the words of the wise, and unraveling the meaning behind “dark sayings.” They explain how true biblical wisdom is revealed not through surface reading but by humble, Spirit-led study and meditation. The fear of the Lord is presented not as terror but as reverent awe, forming the unshakable foundation of all true knowledge. The session also underscores the danger of spiritual pride and the fate of those who reject instruction, while encouraging believers to dig deep, unwrap the treasures of Scripture, and grow in wisdom daily.Rick Wiles, Doc Burkhart.

We dive into her work on aging, agency, and discernment—from embracing our sensuality at any age to navigating later-age motherhood with clarity and choice. Christine shares insights from The 9 Lives of Women, breaking down cultural narratives around sex, aging, and reproductive freedom. We also discuss the importance of body rituals, intergenerational healing, and how staying embodied can support a vibrant, empowered life well into elderhood.In this episode you'll hear:00:27 Intro07:45 What does it really mean to age erotically?17:41 You Are All Your Ages at Once20:37 Let Your Future Self Guide You Back to Joy27:56 Motherhood, Choice, and the Shifting Narrative44:23 Are you making choices from fear or inner knowing?49:18 The Joy of Growing Older (And Why You Won't Want to Go Back)THE SKINNY ON OUR SEXY GUESTChristine is a six-time founder and CEO, with a deep interest in women's wellness and the liberation of all people.

Pastor Jahanna Fredricks explains how Jesus, like Melchizedek, was appointed by God as our eternal high priest—offering Himself once for all—unlike the Levitical priests who had to offer sacrifices for their own sins first. Through His obedience in suffering, Christ secures complete forgiveness and brings us into direct fellowship with our Heavenly Father.

Fr. Mike reveals how David exemplifies the virtues of reverence and faithfulness. David walks both as a man of faith and as a fallen son of God, but we continue to walk with him because we too are striving for a life with Christ. Today's readings are 1 Samuel 26 and Psalm 56.
