The Mishneh Torah was the Rambam's (Rabbi Moses ben Maimon) magnum opus, a work spanning hundreds of chapters and describing all of the laws mentioned in the Torah. To this day it is the only work that details all of Jewish observance, including those laws which are only applicable when the Holy Temple is in place. Participating in one of the annual study cycles of these laws (3 chapters/day, 1 chapter/day, or Sefer Hamitzvot) is a way we can play a small but essential part in rebuilding the final Temple.

Read OnlineCharity Unto DeathNow Herod had arrested John, bound him, and put him in prison on account of Herodias, the wife of his brother Philip, for John had said to him, “It is not lawful for you to have her.” Although he wanted to kill him, he feared the people, for they regarded him as a prophet. Matthew 14:3–5Saint John the Baptist was unwaveringly bold in his preaching, humble in his disposition toward God, and faithful to the truth he proclaimed. These holy virtues, however, did not spare him from the clutches of Herod—a man morally weak, politically fearful, and unrepentant. In the end, Herod not only imprisoned John but, through the manipulation of his unlawful wife and her daughter, had him killed.Who, then, was victorious? From a worldly perspective, it seemed Herod was. John was not only persecuted but martyred. Yet the true victory belonged to John. His triumph was not in escaping suffering but in remaining faithful—faithful to the truth, to charity toward Herod, and to the salvation of Herod's soul. This sacrificial charity moved John to speak boldly, even at the cost of his life.At John's death, Jesus grieved deeply. The loss was real and sorrowful, but not despairing. John's followers also mourned out of love. He had changed many lives and prepared the way for Jesus' ministry. Of him, Jesus said, “No one born of woman is greater than he” (Matthew 11:11).Today, separated by 2,000 years, it can be difficult to feel the sorrow of John's loved ones. Yet the sting of that loss was profound because John loved profoundly. Those who are arrogant and self-centered often fade quickly from memory. But when a life radiates holiness, inspires through simplicity, and transforms hearts through truth, that loss is deeply and rightly mourned.The greatest human sorrow ever known was the mutual suffering of the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of Mary, whose love was perfect. Their hearts were pierced not only by personal grief, but by the weight of humanity's sin.John's death was not tragic; it was meaningful. He died for the truth, for charity, for the Messiah. He died as a man deeply loved, whose life touched many. He died not in bitterness or confusion, but in courage, compassion, and purpose. His ministry was powerful, but the witness of his grace-filled martyrdom was even more so.Each of us is called to imitate Saint John the Baptist in our own way—with boldness, humility, and fidelity. We are called to love with a charity that becomes sacrificial, even costly. John's life is a model of that sanctity. Can we see ourselves in him?When you examine your life, do you live boldly and confidently in the truth? Or do you give in to fear, which often leads to confusion and apathy? Is your charity strong enough to endure suffering, even unjust persecution, for the glory of God and the salvation of souls—including your own? Reflect today on the strength of your charity. We are all called to a love so deep that it requires supernatural courage and understanding. Consider your life through the powerful lens of Saint John the Baptist's witness. Sacrifice is painful. It was for John, for his followers, and even for Jesus. Are you willing to endure such suffering in fidelity to God's will? Seek the Baptist's intercession today and follow his example, that your charity may touch many lives and leave a lasting impression. Most loving Lord Jesus, Your human heart grieved the suffering and death of John the Baptist, whose mission was to prepare the way for Your public ministry. Yet Your sorrow did not flow from despair, but from love and gratitude for John's life and his selfless witness, born of true charity. Grant me, I pray, that same courage and love that flowed from John's heart, so that my life, like his, may leave a lasting impression on others, give You glory, and sanctify my own soul. Jesus, I trust in You.  Image: Martyrdom of St John the Baptist, by Lawrence OP, CC BY-NC-ND 2.0.Source: Free RSS feed from catholic-daily-reflections.com — Copyright © 2026 My Catholic Life! Inc.

Lughnasadh is a time to celebrate not only the first harvest from the land, but also the gifts, talents, and abilities you have cultivated within yourself. In honor of Lugh, a deity of skill, mastery, leadership, and craft, Laylla and Chelle explore the talents we are born with, the skills we have earned through practice, and the quiet forms of wisdom we often forget to recognize as magick.What have you been growing within yourself? Which abilities have ripened through years of practice, mistakes, persistence, and experience? The witches talk about honoring the work it took to become who you are, giving thanks to the people who helped teach and shape you, and remembering that your gifts can nourish both your own life and the community around you.From the overflowing abundance of late summer to the first whispers of autumn, this episode celebrates what is ready to be gathered, what still needs tending, and what should be preserved as seed for the future. Rather than focusing heavily on the history and lore of the sabbat, which we have covered in previous Lughnasadh episodes linked in the show notes, this year we are honoring Lugh by recognizing the skills and magick we have grown within ourselves.Join us between the spokes of the Wheel and take a moment to celebrate your own harvest. You have worked hard to become good at the things you do, witch. It is time to claim them.22: Magick of Lammas, the First Harvest72 The Witches Try: Corn Dollies and Poppets74: Bread, Brews, & Blessings: A witches Guide to Lughansadh125: Lughnasadh 2025 - Sacrifice is good and all, but have you heard of self-care?Got a question?

Penn State defensive lineman Siale Taupaki shares the family sacrifice, Tongan heritage and relentless motivation behind his football journey.Raised in East Oakland by parents who immigrated from the Kingdom of Tonga, Taupaki learned early that discipline, respect and humility begin at home. Their journey to America—and the challenges they continue to face—pushes him to keep going whenever he feels like there is nothing left in the tank.Taupaki also discusses taking pride in representing the Pacific Islander community, looking up to athletes such as Vita Vea and Tony Finau, playing football with a water-filled Gatorade bottle as a child and why he considers himself a son before a football player.Hear what motivates Siale Taupaki as he prepares to represent his family, culture and Penn State inside Beaver Stadium.Presented by PAM Health: https://pamhealth.com/

Are you trusting God to see to the nitty-gritty details of your life, or are you letting fear keep you from stepping into what He's calling you to do? This week on Off Script, guest teacher Ben Foot joins Neil to wrap up our series on Abraham and dive into the challenging story of Genesis 22. From computer crashes and wedding mishaps to the literal Hebrew translation of "The Lord will provide," Ben and Neil unpack what it really means to cultivate an unwavering trust in God. They discuss why we so easily freak out over life's "ant hills" despite God's past faithfulness, practical ways to study Scripture by slowing down, and why true faithfulness always costs something—including Ben's personal journey of bringing hidden struggles like depression into the light to find freedom. The Challenge This week, identify one area where you know God is calling you to act, confess, or surrender, but fear or pride has held you back. Stop carrying the weight alone - rip the band-aid off, share it with a trusted friend or church community member, and take that terrifying yet freeing step of obedience.  Hosts: Neil Gregory and Ben Foot What We Discuss • Ben's chaotic week: A crashed computer, lost sermon notes, and his 17-year history with Scott Nickell • Unpacking the Hebrew behind Genesis 22: Why "The Lord will provide" literally means "The Lord sees to it" • Grappling with the sacrifice of Isaac and understanding Abraham's radical faith in resurrection • The Jamaica ant hill story: Why we panic over small obstacles even after seeing God move mountains in our past • A practical framework for reading Scripture: Small Picture, Big Picture, and Ultimate Picture • Why reading the Bible slowly and intentionally yields deeper transformation than rushing through chapters • The difference between simple belief and active faithfulness, which always requires sacrifice and dying to self • Ben's personal story of struggling with depression and the freedom found in bringing hidden battles into the light • Ripping off the band-aid: Taking steps of obedience without trying to walk through them alone ⸻ About Southland Christian Church Southland is one church meeting in multiple locations across central Kentucky. We believe Jesus came for the lost and the broken, which means there's a place for everyone here. Around here, that means we worship defiantly, speak truth unashamedly, and extend grace generously.

Generosity can begin with a simple gift, but when it becomes a family rhythm, its impact can last for generations. Most parents want their children to grow into generous adults—people who see what God has entrusted to them as something to be stewarded for His purposes and the good of others. But generosity rarely develops by accident. It is cultivated over time through example, experience, and intentional practice. Sharon Epps, President of Kingdom Advisors and Co-Founder of Women Doing Well, joins the show today to encourage families to begin teaching generosity early and continue nurturing it through every stage of life.  The goal is not simply to raise children who give money, but to help them discover the joy of living generously with everything God has provided. Start by Modeling Generosity Young children may not understand much about money yet, but they are always watching. That makes the early years an ideal time to model generosity through simple, tangible experiences. Parents might take their children grocery shopping for items to donate to a local food pantry, allowing them to choose the food and deliver it. The lesson is simple: We have something we can share, and together, we can use it to help someone else. Families can also find creative ways to connect generosity with celebrations. Sharon suggests hosting a “reverse birthday party,” where guests bring items for a ministry or charity the child helps select. Another simple practice is keeping blank cards nearby so children can draw pictures or write encouraging notes for someone who may be lonely, sick, or going through a difficult season. None of these activities requires a child to understand complex financial concepts. They simply allow children to see generosity in action. Give Children Hands-On Opportunities to Serve As children grow, parents can begin inviting them into more direct experiences of giving. One powerful approach is volunteering together at a local ministry, especially an organization serving other children or families. Serving side by side allows generosity to become something children experience personally rather than merely hear about. Families might also consider sponsoring a child through a trusted ministry. Sharon shared how her own daughter began sponsoring a child at age five and continued that relationship as they both grew older. Experiences like these can help children recognize that generosity is relational. It is not simply about transferring money from one place to another. It is about seeing people, caring about their needs, and responding with compassion. Connect Generosity to a Teenager's Passions As children enter their teenage years, their interests and passions become clearer. That creates an opportunity to help them connect generosity with the things they already care about. A teenager who loves the outdoors, for example, might become interested in supporting a Christian camp ministry. A young person passionate about sports might enjoy serving through an organization that uses athletics to mentor children. Families can also make service part of their normal rhythms. Spring break or other holidays, for instance, can include opportunities to serve together. Sharon shared that her children participated in spring break mission trips while growing up. Those experiences became so meaningful that they continued serving during college because generosity had simply become part of what their family did. That is one of the most powerful lessons parents can pass along: Generosity is not an occasional project. It can become part of the way we live. Let Generosity Involve Sacrifice Biblical generosity often involves more than giving from what is left over. Sometimes it requires choosing to give something up so that someone else can benefit. Teenagers are old enough to begin experiencing that kind of sacrifice intentionally. One creative idea is a “pantry challenge,” where a family spends a period of time eating primarily what is already in the house while limiting grocery purchases. The money saved could then be given toward a ministry or someone in need. Practices like this help young people understand that generosity involves choices. We may choose to spend less so we can give more. We may give up some of our time to serve. We may share our skills, possessions, or opportunities with someone else. Sacrifice helps generosity move from an abstract idea to a lived experience. Encourage Generosity Into Adulthood Parents can continue encouraging generosity even after their children become adults, but their role begins to change. Rather than directing their children's giving, parents can create opportunities for them to make their own decisions. One option Sharon suggests is helping an adult child establish a donor-advised fund. Parents might provide an initial amount and even offer to match what their child contributes toward charitable giving. The purpose is not simply to create another financial account. It is to encourage intentionality. What causes do they care about? Where do they see God at work? How might the resources entrusted to them become part of that work? Questions like these help adult children develop their own convictions about generosity and stewardship. Expand Your Family's Definition of Giving Perhaps one of the most important lessons families can learn is that generosity is about far more than money. We can give our time. We can offer our skills. We can share our relationships, possessions, influence, and opportunities. This broader understanding allows generosity to become what Sharon describes as “whole-life, purpose-filled generosity.” And that means every member of the family has something to give. A young child can draw an encouraging picture. A teenager can spend a Saturday serving. An adult can use financial resources, professional skills, or relationships to help others. Generosity begins by asking a simple question: What has God entrusted to me that I can use for the good of someone else? Generosity Is Often Caught More Than Taught Parents can certainly talk with their children about giving, but some of the most powerful lessons will come from what children see practiced consistently at home. When they watch their parents give joyfully, serve willingly, and hold their resources with open hands, they begin to understand that generosity is not merely something Christians do. It is part of who we are becoming as faithful stewards. And when families practice generosity together—from childhood through adulthood—they plant seeds that may continue bearing fruit long after the original gift has been given. A generous family legacy is ultimately about more than what we leave to the next generation. It is about helping prepare the next generation to faithfully steward whatever God places in their hands. On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions: I have an annuity and want to borrow $200,000 to buy an investment property. I've been told I could qualify for the loan based on my assets, then withdraw from the annuity to pay it off without owing taxes because the withdrawal wouldn't be earned income. Is that correct, or would the annuity withdrawal still be taxable? I set up a trust for my wife while she was living with Alzheimer's, and she passed away a couple of years ago. How often should a trust be reviewed, and should I update or redo it now? I have about $250,000 in home equity and a 3.85% mortgage, so I don't want to do a cash-out refinance. Are home equity sharing agreements a legitimate option, and what should I know before considering one? I'm 62, single, and have property and investments. I want to get my estate in order.

Study the daily lesson of Sefer HaMitzvos for day 177 with Rabbi Mendel Kaplan, where he teaches the mitzvah in-depth with added insight and detail.

Lee Carroll, Monika Muranyi, and Erin Lyons come together with Emilio Ortiz inside the legendary Kryon Master Studios for a powerful conversation on the next stage of humanity's evolution. Together, they explore the prophecy of the Indigo Children, why so many young people are now carrying the very truths Kryon has spoken about for decades, and how the next generation is arriving with a deeper sensitivity, presence, intuition, and heart-based coherence. From children being misunderstood through old labels like ADHD or autism, to the idea that these souls may actually be teachers, intuitives, and new-frequency humans, this episode invites us to radically reframe what is happening inside families, schools, bodies, and consciousness itself.✦ Join The Deep Dive | https://iamemilioortiz.com/the-deep-dive/The conversation expands into humanity's multidimensional DNA, the mysterious 24th chromosome pair, Pleiadian origins, the rise of compassion as a planetary force, and why this moment may be the fulfillment of a much larger shift that has been building for decades. They also explore how mainstream culture, even events like the World Cup, may be revealing a deeper truth: humanity is beginning to remember that we belong to each other. This is not just a conversation about spirituality—it is a transmission on love, embodiment, remembrance, the children leading the way, and the possibility that we were never born broken, but magnificent.___________________PODCAST CHAPTERS0:00 — KRYON & Erin Lyons Intro1:09 - The Indigo Generation Is Changing Humanity5:27 - The Origin & Prophecy of the Indigo Children9:46 - What the World Cup Reveals About Humanity's Future15:06 - Autism, ADHD & the Gifts of the New Children21:05 - The Hidden Cost of Medicating Sensitive Children22:05 - Why So Many People Are Suddenly Exhausted26:18 - The Pleiadian Intervention 200,000 Years Ago36:49 - Why Humanity Forgot Its Superhuman Abilities40:20 - What a Compassionate Civilization Could Look Like41:20 - The Pleiadian Star Mothers & Our Forgotten Powers45:05 - Lee Carroll's First Encounter With Kryon47:21 - Lee's Near-Death-Like Spiritual Awakening55:44 - Transforming Empathy Into Compassionate Action1:01:56 - Kryon Channels a Message for the United Nations1:05:31 - What the Mothers of the World Truly Want1:08:06 - Helping Children Navigate Depression & Anxiety1:12:57 - Future Inventions That Could End Scarcity1:14:59 - Healing Dysfunction Within the Family1:15:51 - Soul Contracts, Karma & Choosing Our Parents1:21:08 - Escaping Survival Mode & Healing Relationships1:24:45 - Sacrifice, Purpose & Creating a Greater Future1:26:21 - The Question They Wished Emilio Had Asked1:27:24 - Kryon's Warning to the United Nations About ETs1:29:39 - Erin's Pleiadian Encounter at Mount Shasta1:32:18 - The Dogon Tribe's Ancient Knowledge of Sirius1:38:47 - Humanity's Greatest Misunderstanding About God1:40:14 - Humanity, It's Time to…___________________Guests: Kryon, Lee Carroll, & Monika Muranyi✦ Website | https://www.menus.kryon.com/✦ All Kryon Channelings | https://www.menus.kryon.com/freeaudio✦ Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/kryonleecarroll/✦ Circle of 12: Healing Wednesday | https://kryonmasters.com/first-wednesday/Guest: Erin Lyons, Channeler ✦ Website | https://www.erinlyonsofficial.com/✦ Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/erinlyonsofficial/Host: Emilio Ortiz✦ IG | https://www.instagram.com/iamemilioortiz/✦ Subscribe to Channel | https://www.youtube.com/EmilioOrtiz___________________© 2026 Emilio Ortiz.

Sacrifice brings forth the blessings of heaven.

In this episode of Hope Illuminated, I'm joined by Aaron Witt - founder and CEO of Buildwitt, the fastest-growing media and workforce development platform dedicated to the "dirt world" of critical infrastructure, natural resources, and heavy civil construction. Aaron is a rare voice in this space: someone who has worked the job sites himself, who carries genuine reverence for the people who build the world, and who has built a multi-platform company around the conviction that this industry's future depends on its ability to see, value, and develop the human beings doing the work.Aaron opens with a framing that anchors the entire conversation: the military cannot function without the steel, runways, and infrastructure that construction workers build. First responders cannot reach emergencies without roads. Yet while we celebrate soldiers and firefighters for their sacrifice, the construction worker - equally indispensable, equally exposed to danger, loss, and physical hardship - remains largely invisible in the national conversation about worker well-being. Aaron calls this the invisible sacrifice, and his life's work is making it visible.We dig into the data: construction consistently ranks among the highest-risk industries for suicide, with rates surpassing military and law enforcement in some analyses. Overdose deaths on and around job sites are rising. And yet the support systems available to workers in the field are largely inaccessible - requiring workers on 12-hour shifts to navigate multiple barriers to reach anyone who might help, only to find that the person on the other end has no understanding of their world. Aaron is direct: many traditional EAP resources are, in his words, "completely worthless" for this population.The conversation turns to solutions, and Aaron is equally direct about where change has to start: with leaders. Not leaders giving speeches about wellness, but leaders going first - sharing their own struggles, modeling that it is possible to be strong and vulnerable simultaneously, and creating the conditions in which workers feel safe enough to do the same. Aaron connects this to the broader workforce crisis: with 8 million construction workers and a next generation that is not choosing the trades, well-being is not a soft add-on. It is a recruitment and retention strategy. It is, ultimately, a matter of national infrastructure security.

Every organization has incentives.The question is whether those incentives create commitment—or merely compliance.In this solo episode, Jay Doran explores the invisible relationship between incentives, sacrifice, accountability, and culture. He argues that while incentives can direct behavior, they cannot create belief. Lasting cultures are built when people willingly sacrifice for a purpose they trust, and when leaders consistently reinforce that purpose through recognition, accountability, and meaningful consequences. Jay examines the journey of the entrepreneur, the tension between individual ambition and organizational success, and why every growing company eventually reaches a point where incentives must evolve alongside the organization itself. As businesses mature, yesterday's systems often become today's blind spots, making leadership's role in continual recalibration more important than ever. In this episode, you'll discover:Why incentives influence behavior, but sacrifice reveals beliefThe difference between positive incentives and the hidden pressures that motivate peopleHow accountability creates clarity in growing organizationsWhy recognition reinforces culture far beyond financial compensationThe role consequences play in protecting standards without destroying trustHow founders transition from leading themselves to leading systemsWhy organizations naturally outgrow the incentives that once made them successfulThe connection between leadership, responsibility, and organizational temperatureWhy culture requires constant calibration as people, markets, and businesses evolveThroughout the conversation, Jay reflects on the tension every leader faces: balancing freedom with accountability, structure with flexibility, and individual aspiration with collective purpose. He argues that great leaders don't simply build systems—they continually refine them, recognizing that culture is never static and alignment must be earned again and again. This episode is a reminder that organizations aren't ultimately shaped by what they reward once.They're shaped by what they consistently recognize, what they courageously confront, and what their people are willing to sacrifice together.Because incentives may move people.But shared sacrifice is what builds culture. 

In this message, Pastor Mark looks at the themes of submission, sacrifice, and honor in relationships, focusing on marriage, family dynamics, parenting, and work. In Ephesians, we see the importance of mutual respect and the role of each individual in fostering healthy and loving relationships.Recorded live at Hope Church in Springfield, MO#ephesians #marriage #family #work #submission #honor #value #relationships

What does it truly mean to deny ourselves and follow Christ? In this episode, we explore the remarkable life of missionary David Livingstone and discover how his unwavering devotion to Christ embodied Jesus' call to "deny yourself, take up your cross daily, and follow Me" (Luke 9:23–25). As we trace Livingstone's journey through hardship, sacrifice, and faithful service in Africa, we are challenged to see that no earthly cost compares to the surpassing worth of knowing Christ. Together, we are encouraged to embrace daily surrender, and live in light of eternity, knowing that a life wholly devoted to Christ will bear fruit far beyond what we can see.

Weekend Scripture: Genesis 22 Do you have unwavering trust in God's character and promises? Ben Foote joins us to wrap up our series on Faith. In Genesis 22, we see God test Abraham's faith by stretching it to its absolute limits. Yet, Abraham demonstrates faith, an unwavering trust that God would remain faithful to His character and to His promises. May we make the sacrifices our God is commanding us to make, and trust His promise that life waits for us on the other side.
