Dr. Nika Spaulding Do you value the "boring" parts of the Bible? If you've ever read through the Bible or have encountered sections that you might consider boring, this episode will give you reasons to care about them. According to BOW's guest speaker, Dr. Nika Spaulding, Leviticus, the genealogies, and other scriptures can actually be places of learning, encouragement and joy. Her conversation with Dr. Kay Daigle will blow your mind as you see the riches that these passages hold.

I'm Kay Daigle your host. And today I'm joined by Dr. Nika Spaulding. Nika >> Wow. The Doctor! Wow! Kay >> Yeah, well, we are so happy about that. And congratulations to you on that. That's a big deal. Nika >> Thank you, Dr. Kay. Kay >> You're welcome. Well, Nika is a frequent guest. We have her often because she always has so many good things to say. And she has a Th.M. from DTS as well as a D.Min. from Northern Seminary. Today we are going to talk about valuing the so-called boring chapters of the Bible. Nika >> Yeah.Kay >> Now, Nika, who needs to hear this? Nika >> Everyone. Everyone needs to hear. And I mean that! You know, you and I always talk about what is it we want to talk about? What do we want to bring to Beyond Ordinary Women. And it tends to just kind of grow out of whatever research I'm doing at that time, whatever I'm studying and learning. And right now I'm doing this thing where I'm teaching through each book of the Bible, one chapter at a time. So I'm halfway on a little bit more than halfway through Exodus. We've done all of Genesis. We've done all of Exodus. And it made me realize how tempting it would be to skip some chapters. Like, if I'm being honest, there's some chapters and I'm like, “Huh, I'm not as excited about this chapter as I would, you know, Abraham sacrificing Isaac or whatever.” There's just certain parts of the Bible you think, “Really?” And yet I have found because I'm forcing myself to do it, I'm discovering these so-called boring passages like genealogies, the tabernacle instructions, places like that. What I'm discovering is actually they are critical chapters to one, our understanding of the Bible. But also there's so much like good juice to squeeze out of that fruit for our spiritual formation and for our development. That shouldn't surprise us if Scripture tells us that all Scripture is God breathed inspired by God and useful for these things. And so I really do believe this is one of those videos for everybody, whether you're teaching through the Bible, studying the Bible, coming to the Bible for the first time, confused about the so-called boring parts of the Bible. This is a video for you. Kay >> Yes. I wish I had had this video when I started with my group, that is reading through the Bible in two years, because we've already made it through a lot of those chapters. And I thought you were very positive just to say not as excited about these chapters because I think many of us aren't even excited at all. Nika >> About, you know. Kay >> We just want to get through these chapters. This gal who is reading through the Bible with this group told us that she puts her finger under every name because in the genealogies or other times where they're lists of people just so that she reads every single name and doesn't just skip over it. Nika >> Yeah. Yeah. And I think that's great. I not only do I teach through it,

These devotions are part of the Follow the Word Bible reading program at St. John Lutheran Church in Cypress, Texas. This year we are reading through the Scriptures together, listening for how God speaks through his Word day by day. I hope you will join me on this journey.Today's readings are Exodus 35-37; Psalm 55.

Psalms 1 & 2 E1 — The Psalms scroll—Israel's ancient hymn book—has deeply shaped the worship and prayers of millions of people over several millennia. The first two psalms work together as a unified introduction to the whole collection. Psalm 1 starts with the phrase “How good is life for the man who…” or in most English translations, “Blessed is the man who…” We then find a list of activities to avoid and an instruction to practice daily Scripture meditation. So how does this way of living lead to “the good life”? And what happens to those who follow it—and to those who don't? In this episode, Jon and Tim start a short series in Psalms 1 and 2 by first meditating on Psalm 1.FULL SHOW NOTESFor chapter-by-chapter summaries, biblical words, referenced Scriptures, and reflection questions, check out the full show notes for this episode.CHAPTERSThe Path of Tragedy (0:00-21:35)Becoming Like a Tree (21:35-40:40)Standing in the Judgment (40:40-1:06:14)OFFICIAL EPISODE TRANSCRIPTView this episode's official transcript.REFERENCED RESOURCESThe Hebrew Bible: A Translation with Commentary by Robert AlterCheck out Tim's extensive collection of recommended books here.SHOW MUSIC“Growing Season” by Gas Lab & Guillaume Muschalle“New Dae” by El Train & G MillsBibleProject theme song by TENTS SHOW CREDITSProduction of today's episode is by Lindsey Ponder, producer, and Cooper Peltz, managing producer.

Hope for Right Now Podcast – Desert Bloom, A Lenten Journey: Let Yourself Be Loved While Walking with Purpose Founder Lisa takes time to write our next women's Bible study, Laura Phelps welcomes guest Caitlin Bean to the Hope for Right Now podcast for a seven-week series: Desert Bloom, A Lenten Journey. Lent is a time of sacrifice, preparation, and spiritual waiting—a time to prepare our hearts for Easter through prayer, fasting, and almsgiving. For many of us, it has become about exterior performance, a “holy checklist” we begin on Ash Wednesday and struggle to sustain for 40 days. And preparation? Who has time for that? We are exhausted—after all, it was just Christmas! If this is how your heart feels at the start of Lent, this series is for you—offering practical encouragement, Scripture reflections, and simple ways to experience a more meaningful, peace-filled Lent. In today's episode, Laura and Caitlin talk about our new Lenten devotional, Desert Bloom: Discovering Unexpected Joy in the Wilderness, and share their personal Lenten fails and the idols they need to lose, while uncovering the fear behind letting go of achieving God's love in exchange for simply receiving it. Open your Heart to our key Scripture. Hebrews 12:2: For the joy set before Him, He endured the Cross. Open your Bible to other Scriptures referenced in this episode. Philippians 3:13–14: One thing I do, forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead, I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus. Isaiah 43:18–19: Remember not the former things, or consider the things of old. Behold, I am doing a new thing; now it springs forth, do you not perceive it? I will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert. Deuteronomy 2:7: For the Lord your God has blessed you in all the work of your hands; he knows you are going through this great wilderness; these forty years the Lord your God has been with you; you have lacked nothing. Exodus 16:2–3: And the whole congregation of the people of Israel murmured against Moses and Aaron in the wilderness, and said to them, “Would that we had died by the hand of the Lord in the land of Egypt, when we sat by the fleshpots and ate bread to the full; for you have brought us out into this wilderness to kill this whole assembly with hunger.” Invite Him in with this episode's questions for reflection. What is your idol? What do you want more than God? Do you approach Lent like a spiritual performance review? How is the Lord inviting you to undo the production narrative you've been telling yourself?  Show mentions.

God I Love You But I Don't Get You Part #2 of Series: I Love You, But I Don't Get You February 21 - 22, 2026 - Paul Jeyachandran Bathsheba's Story: Three Movements Private Pain: The Stripping of Sufficiency What happens to her Personal Promise: The Shaping of Surrender What God speaks over her Prophetic Purpose: The Stewarding of Service What God accomplishes through her The Stripping of Sufficiency God dismantles self-reliance to birth dependence. The Shaping of Surrender God forms the will to say, "Not my will, but Yours." The Stewarding of Service God entrusts influence so Christ-not self—is magnified. When You Place Your Life In God's Hands... Pain is Redeemed into Promise. Promise Matures into Purpose. Purpose Unfolds into Prophetic Destiny. Reflection Questions What situation are you still trying to manage on your own rather than surrendering to God's process? Has God spoken something over your life during a painful season that you've been too hurt or too scared to step into? Is your brokenness making you bitter and controlling, or is it becoming wisdom and humility that serves others? Scriptures: 2 Samuel 11:2, 2 Samuel 11:3-4, 2 Samuel 11:26, 2 Samuel 12:13-14, 2 Samuel 12:24, 1 Chronicles 22:8-10, 1 Kings 1:16-17, 1 Kings 2:19, Proverbs 31:1, 25, 30, 1 Chronicles 3:5, Matthew 1:6, Luke 3:31, Matthew 1:21, Topics: Love, Peace, Understanding

The readings for this homily: https://bible.usccb.org/bible/readings/022326.cfmFather Chris  Alar, MIC reminds us that works do not earn salvation; only God's grace saves (CCC, 1987). Yet the Church teaches that we must co‑operate with that grace. As Fr. Chris explains, each soul faces a particular judgment at death, meeting Christ in His human nature, and later a general judgment when Christ returns to judge all humanity (see Jn 5:22‑23). The Scriptures picture this final assembly in the “valley of Jehoshaphat,” drawn from Joel 3:2, where angels separate the good from the bad.Father Chris contrasts David's flight from Jerusalem with Jesus' deliberate return to be judged, showing that avoidance leads to condemnation while Christ embraces the sacrifice for our redemption. He cites the familiar parable of the wheat and the weeds (Mt 13:24‑30) and the separation of sheep from goats (Mt 25:31‑46) to illustrate the ultimate sorting of souls.A central point is the necessity of Confession. Unconfessed sins are exposed at judgment, whereas confessed sins are sealed (CCC 1451). Father Chris stresses that God's justice is always tempered by mercy: “The greater the sinner, the greater the right he has to My mercy” (Diary of Saint Faustina Kowalska, 723). This mercy flows through the intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary, whose prayers unite with ours and draw us toward the divine will (CCC 2675).Father Chris also addresses contemporary objections that “Jesus did it all, so there is no hell.” He refutes this by affirming human free will: God's love respects our freedom, and those who freely reject Him choose separation, which is the reality of hell (CCC 1037). As C.S. Lewis observed, “The gates of hell are locked from the inside,” underscoring that the choice belongs to the soul. ★ Support this podcast ★

Send a textMany places in the Scriptures we are given a choice and that choice begins with the word "if."  If we do this then God will do this.  For example - 1 John 1:9  "If" we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.  When we come across one of these "if" verses we have an opportunity to evaluate our own relationship with Jesus and see whether or not we are pursuing His will. 

God couldn't possibly instruct someone to sin, right? How do we make sense of a confusing passage in 2 Samuel that seems to indicate this?In today's episode, Pastor Derek and Pastor Jackie talk through a listener question on a specific passage of Scripture to explain why David was in sin while instructing a census to be taken. We dig through who influenced this (hint: it likely isn't God), David's potential motives in this, and how he missed one big part of God's command around taking a census to bright light to this question. We also throw out a relatable application for us today!The 17:17 podcast is a ministry of Roseville Baptist Church (MN) that seeks to tackle cultural issues and societal questions from a biblical worldview so that listeners discover what the Bible has to say about the key issues they face on a daily basis.

Pastor Lindsay explores the profound connection between salvation and healing, challenging the audience to seek deep, lasting spiritual wholeness from Jesus, the ultimate Healer. Pastor Lindsay opens with a personal story of a childhood medical chart mix-up to illustrate how we often look in the wrong places for healing, missing the source right in front of us. Diving into the Scriptures, the message highlights how Jesus grounded his entire ministry in healing, revealed by the Hebrew name Jehovah Rapha (God Our Healer) and the Greek word Sozo, which means both "to save" and "to heal." The core of the talk emphasizes that God's love is unconditional, but spiritual healing is available to all who choose to turn to Him, ultimately leading to relational and emotional healing. fmhouston.com

Circumcision was “the single clearest distinguishing feature of the covenant people.” When the gospel reached the Gentiles, a controversy broke out among the Jews, with some declaring, “Unless you are circumcised according to the custom of Moses, you cannot be saved.” (Acts 15:1). Paul dealt with the issue of circumcision throughout his entire ministry. He was an expert in the Scriptures and a former Pharisee, so he was uniquely positioned by the Holy Spirit to bring clarity to the true meaning of circumcision. As the Holy Spirit-inspired author of Romans, he stated: “For no one is a Jew who is merely one outwardly, nor is circumcision outward and physical. But a Jew is one inwardly, and circumcision is a matter of the heart, by the Spirit, not by the letter. His praise is not from man but from God.” (Rom. 2:28-29)Circumcision was a good thing, but it became a bad thing when the Jews sought to attach it to the finished work of Christ as necessary for salvation. As followers of Jesus, we must guard against creating any system that attaches human efforts to Christ's finished work. Even good things, like baptism and communion, have been attached by some to the finished work of Christ as necessary for salvation. We reject this view (Eph. 2:8-9), while seeking to uphold the crucial and essential nature of Biblically mandated Christian rituals. Jesus was circumcised and placed Himself under the Law. He perfectly kept the Law and thus redeemed those under the Law (Gal. 4:4-5). We are now in Christ! “For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision counts for anything, but only faith working through love.” (Gal. 5:6)Take-Home Message: Circumcision is a matter of the heart.Circumcision ExplainedCircumcision Illustrated (25-27)Circumcision Applied (28-29)We must emphasize coming to Jesus and following Jesus as the true evidence of a believer.We must guard against adding requirements to the gospel. We must strive for unity with Christians of different backgrounds.

Parshat Terumah:  Why And How Do We Build A Tabernacle?  -  English only.  The Scriptures command us to make a sanctuary for the Almighty. Why did God give us this commandment? How can we follow this mitzvah today?  Recorded February 22, 2026.

God promised Abraham that He would choose his descendants and make them His own people; the Chosen People. We read in the Scriptures the promises fulfillment in Israel being saved out of Egypt and becoming the people of God via the covenant of Moses. Jesus the Jew from Nazareth proclaims that Salvation is of the Jews. He tells his disciples to bypass the Gentiles and bring the gospel to the lost sheep of Israel for he was sent only to them. So, what about the Gentiles? The Apostle Paul who resolves confusion about the Gentiles. It is a mystery that God kept hidden from everyone until He revealed it to Paul, His Apostle to the Gentiles. Join us as we continue to unpack this mystery surrounding the Gentiles.

Sunday Sermon by Kevin JensenHow do angels watch over us? We dig into the Scriptures to find out what angels are, ways they might help us, why we can't (usually) see them, and what they teach us about God.Texts: Psalm 148:1-6, Hebrews 1:14, Matthew 18:10, and other selections

This is the 2nd in the sermon series titled “Strange Encounters of the Divine Kind” from Greenfield Presbyterian Church in Berkley, MI. The Scriptures are Matthew 17:1-9 and 2 Peter 1:16-21 Matthew 17:1-9 Jesus' transformation 17 Six days later Jesus took Peter, James, and John his brother, and brought them to the top of a very high mountain. 2 He was transformed in front of them. His face shone like the sun, and his clothes became as white as light. 3 Moses and Elijah appeared to them, talking with Jesus. 4 Peter reacted to all of this by saying to Jesus, “Lord, it's good that we're here. If you want, I'll make three shrines: one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.” 5 While he was still speaking, look, a bright cloud overshadowed them. A voice from the cloud said, “This is my Son whom I dearly love. I am very pleased with him. Listen to him!” 6 Hearing this, the disciples fell on their faces, filled with awe. 7 But Jesus came and touched them. “Get up,” he said. “Don't be afraid.” 8 When they looked up, they saw no one except Jesus. 9 As they were coming down the mountain, Jesus commanded them, “Don't tell anybody about the vision until the Human One is raised from the dead.” 2 Peter 1:16-21 Christ's return is true 16 We didn't repeat crafty myths when we told you about the powerful coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. Quite the contrary, we witnessed his majesty with our own eyes. 17 He received honor and glory from God the Father when a voice came to him from the magnificent glory, saying, “This is my dearly loved Son, with whom I am well-pleased.” 18 We ourselves heard this voice from heaven while we were with him on the holy mountain. 19 In addition, we have a most reliable prophetic word, and you would do well to pay attention to it, just as you would to a lamp shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts. 20 Most important, you must know that no prophecy of scripture represents the prophet's own understanding of things, 21 because no prophecy ever came by human will. Instead, men and women led by the Holy Spirit spoke from God.

What are your priorities in your spiritual life? Listen to this message to learn the importance of growing spiritually and what matters most in your daily walk. Hear the history of what happened to the Thessaloniki Jewish and Christian communities over the years since Paul wrote this letter. Follow Paul's expressions of thanksgiving in his various epistles. Ask yourself if you are growing in your thankfulness, your trust in God, and your hope.

Are you spiritually stuck… exhausted… overwhelmed… or drifting?In John 10, Jesus declares, “I am the Good Shepherd.” But what does that actually mean for your daily life?Sheep don't survive by strength — they survive by proximity. And many of us are tired not because life is hard, but because we're following the wrong voice.In this message, we unpack: • John 10:1–21 explained • The difference between the Shepherd and the thief • Why delayed obedience is disguised distrust • How to recognize God's voice • Practical ways to live under the care of the Good ShepherdJesus isn't asking you to get stronger. He's asking you to get closer.

Bible StudyDon't just take our word for it . . . take His! We would encourage you to spend time examining the following Scriptures that shaped this sermon: Sermon OutlineThree Lenten invitations from Exodus 24—to remember our covenant with God (vv1–8)to renew our communion in God (vv9–11)to return to the cloud of God's presence (v12–18)Sermon QuestionsWhat is the difference between a contract and a covenant?Can there be such a thing as "conditional love"?What does it mean to be God's priestly people? (Compare Exodus 24:7 and 1 Peter 2:9).In your gut, are you comforted or startled by God's scandalous welcome in verses 9–11?Have you ever, or are you now, experiencing "divine darkness"? Turn off your screen and ask a Christian friend to pray for you, that you might experience a sense of God's nearness and unconditional welcome and love.For personal reflection: meditate on these words from St. Gregory of Nyssa's Commentary on the Song of Songs: "The Bride is encompassed by a divine night, during which her Spouse approaches, but does not reveal Himself. But how can that which is invisible reveal itself in the night? By the fact that He gives the soul some sense of His presence, even while He eludes her clear apprehension, concealed as He is by the invisibility of His nature."Resources ConsultedThomas Joseph White, ExodusBrevard Childs, Exodus: A CommentaryAmy Peeler, "Desiring God: The Blood Of The Covenant In Exodus 24," BBR 23.2 (2013), 187–205J.B.

We live in a world saturated with spiritual content. We can access more sermons, podcasts, and worship songs in 24 hours than previous generations could in a lifetime. Yet, many of us feel a frustrating disconnect: we know the truth, but we aren't experiencing the freedom. Ryan Kramer dives into the book of James to explain that the "blessed life" isn't found in what we know, but in what we choose to do. This teaching challenges us to stop deceiving ourselves and start looking intently into the mirror of God's Word to find true restoration. -- Knowing versus doing: Why exercise, relationships, and spiritual growth all require application over mere information. -- The "Text Message" from James: Understanding that James wasn't worried about his church believing the wrong things; he was worried they weren't living out the right things. -- The Simmering Crockpot: A look at how "frustration" is often just a polite word for the internal anger that prevents the righteousness God desires. -- The Mirror Analogy: The vital difference between "glancing" at the Word to see the obvious and "gazing" intently to see what truly needs attention. -- The Danger of the Gap: Why delaying obedience leads to a callous heart and makes disobedience feel acceptable. -- The Sozo Life: How consistent obedience leads to a life of being rescued, restored, and aligned with God's purpose.

A @Christadelphians Video: **YouTube Video Summary / Description**Is the Bible just a collection of ancient stories, or is it something more? In this thought-provoking presentation, we examine the evidence for the Bible's divine authorship. Many dismiss the Scriptures as mere mythology, but what does the historical and prophetic record actually reveal?Join us for an insightful exploration where we tackle common criticisms and present compelling evidence that vindicates the Bible's truth. We delve into outstanding archaeological discoveries, like the Hittite civilization, that confirm the Bible's historical accuracy. We also examine a specific, precise prophecy in Ezekiel 26 concerning the city of Tyre, a revealing divine fingerprint on history.When we consider the Bible's internal consistency across 1,500 years, dozens of authors, and three continents, the case for its divine inspiration becomes powerful and transformative. This isn't just an academic exercise; understanding that the Bible is God's Word changes how we live and think.

TODAY'S EPISODE:  Welcome to the Daily Radio Bible! In this heartfelt episode for February 20th, Hunter invites us on day 51 of our journey through the Scriptures, drawing us into readings from Numbers 7, Psalm 23, and Acts 27. Together, we witness the dedication of the altar in Israel's wilderness, find comfort in the beloved words of David declaring, "The Lord is my shepherd," and weather turbulent seas alongside Paul as he sails toward Rome. Through these passages, Hunter masterfully weaves reflections on the storms we all face—reminding us how Jesus, greater than Jonah, enters into our deepest struggles to guide us safely through. As always, the episode closes with beautiful prayers, an affirmation of your priceless worth to God, and an encouragement to carry forward in joy. Join us for a time of renewal, hope, and reassurance that you are truly loved. TODAY'S DEVOTION: He is greater than the storm. I love stories of the sea—ships in peril, stories of struggling to survive the storms. The Bible provides some good ones too. There's the story of Jonah, and then there's this story today with Paul. The parallels we find with the great stories of survival at sea and our own life are amazing. Do you remember when Jonah was on board and was in the storm? He said, "Throw me into the sea and it will become calm again. I know that this terrible storm is all my fault." Jonah knew the only way the crew could save themselves was to throw him in the sea to be drowned. Then things would be calm again and they would survive. And later on, when Jesus came, he said, now someone greater than Jonah is here. What's he saying? He's saying that there's a great storm on the way for each of us. In fact, we don't get through this life without experiencing that storm. And we won't survive unless someone far greater than Jonah throws himself into the waves for us. It's the ultimate storm, and Jesus is the Someone who is greater—he has thrown himself into the wind and waves and sunk beneath the ocean depths for us. He's offered up his body to the waves so that we might survive. Not only that, but many of us have sunk to the very bottom, and when we do, we can see him there. He meets us there. In fact, he's been with us all along. He doesn't abandon us. He's always and forever with us, no matter where we are. Whenever I hear of survival at sea, I think about what Jesus has done for us. My hope is that when I go through storms in life—and I do, and I have—and the seas look ominous and threatening, I'll remember that He is with me right where I am. You can trust Him to see you through the storms of this life. I'll trust Him not only to be my salvation when I die, but right here, right now. That's a prayer that I have for you. May you see Jesus and trust in what He has done, and live in his resurrection life right now. That's the prayer that I have for my family, for my wife and my daughters and my son. And that's the prayer that I have for you. May it be so. TODAY'S PRAYERS: Lord God Almighty and everlasting father you have brought us in safety to this new day preserve us with your Mighty power that we might not fall into sin or be overcome by adversity. And in all we do, direct us to the fulfilling of your purpose  through Jesus Christ Our Lord amen.   Oh God you have made of one blood all the peoples of the earth and sent your blessed son to preach peace to those who are far and those who are near. Grant that people everywhere may seek after you, and find you. Bring the nations into your fold, pour out your Spirit on all flesh, and hasten the coming of your kingdom through Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen.   And now Lord,  make me an instrument of your peace.  Where there is hatred let me sow love. Where there is injury, pardon.  Where there is doubt, faith. Where there is despair, hope.  Where there is darkness, light.  And where there is sadness,  Joy.  Oh Lord grant that I might not seek to be consoled as to console. To be understood as to understand, to be loved as to love.  For it is in the giving that we receive, in the pardoning that we are pardoned, it is in the dying that we are born unto eternal life.  Amen And now as our Lord has taught us we are bold to pray... Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom come thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven, give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our tresspasses as we forgive those who trespass against us, and lead us not unto temptation, but deliver us from evil, for thine is the Kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen. Loving God, we give you thanks for restoring us in your image. And nourishing us with spiritual food, now send us forth as forgiven people, healed and renewed, that we may proclaim your love to the world, and continue in the risen life of Christ.  Amen.  OUR WEBSITE: www.dailyradiobible.com We are reading through the New Living Translation.   Leave us a voicemail HERE: https://www.speakpipe.com/dailyradiobible Subscribe to us at YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@Dailyradiobible/featured OTHER PODCASTS: Listen with Apple Podcast DAILY BIBLE FOR KIDS DAILY PSALMS DAILY PROVERBS DAILY LECTIONARY DAILY CHRONOLOGICAL

When Jesus' time had finally come, he went to the Garden of Gethsemane to pray. It is there, during the season of Lent, that we begin following Jesus on his road to the cross, through the first two stations in the traditional Stations of the Cross. Join us as we discuss the long history of this tradition and the Scriptures that teach us about the events in the Garden of Gethsemane: Jesus' prayer, betrayal by Judas Iscariot, and arrest. Together, we'll reflect on Jesus' humanity, what it cost him to embark on this journey on our behalf, and what it teaches us about our faith as we follow Jesus.

A Feast before Sacrifice… that's Divine Order. Even in the streets, even in the Scriptures, GOD shows you there's a season to gather before there's a season to give up. Fat Tuesday ain't just about food,.. it's about awareness. It's the last taste before the Fast, the final celebration before discipline sets in. In the Bible, there was always provision before the wilderness. Joseph stored grain before the famine. JESUS ate with HIS disciples before the cross. See, GOD will let you sit at the table, but HE's preparing you for Elevation through Elimination. The feast is gratitude. The sacrifice is Growth.A Feast before Sacrifice | Wallstreet Trapper (Episode 181) Trappin Tuesdays

In this powerful episode of the Archbishop Nicholas Duncan-Williams Podcast, the Apostle of Strategic Prayer confronts the sober reality of prayerlessness and its hidden dangers. As he carefully dissects the Scriptures, Archbishop Duncan-Williams reminds us of our divine mandate as Watchmen over our families, our generations, and our nations. He delivers a timely warning: the enemy only operates when men sleep. When believers grow passive, darkness advances. This message is a clarion call to awaken from spiritual slumber, take your place at the watchtower, and reclaim your authority through prayer. If you have felt spiritually complacent, distracted, or weary, this word will reignite your vigilance and reposition you from passivity to power. We cannot afford to sleep while the enemy is at the gates.
