How does understanding ancient, Jewish prayer transform the way we approach our own prayer life? In this thought-provoking discussion, the Voxology Podcast unpacks the profound communal and theological practices of Jewish prayer that shaped the teachings of Jesus and continue to challenge modern, individualistic approaches to Christianity. Join the hosts as they explore how prayer reflects our understanding of God, our faith, and the world around us, offering a deeper lens into themes of cruciformity, justice, and the role of the church in society. By examining the historical context of Jewish prayer practices, such as the Shema and the Amidah, the conversation dives into the rhythms of blessing, repentance, and trust that were central to the lives of early believers. Learn how these practices offer fresh insight into the Lord's Prayer and reshape how we navigate faith and cultural challenges today. Whether it's reimagining what it means to bless God or understanding prayer as a communal act of justice and restoration, this episode invites listeners into a richer theology of prayer that connects deeply with the teachings of Jesus. How does prayer influence your faith perspective? We encourage and would love discussion as we pursue these topics together. Feel free to email your thoughts, engage the conversation on Facebook and Instagram, and join us in exploring the intersection of faith, justice, and cultural engagement.

In what areas of your life might you most benefit from having a mentor? How might God be equipping you to mentor others around you? What barriers might you see to mentoring, and how can you go about overcoming those?
This episode explores why Jesus had such deep compassion for people—not because they were evil, but because they were uninformed and misinformed. Many of us are living from false ideas, bad teachings, or simply never knowing that God is already within us. And instead of judgment, Jesus offers alignment: calling people back to who they really are.The podcast breaks down how misinformation shapes identity, decisions, and even how we see God. It's not about excusing brokenness but seeing through it—just like Jesus did. When He said, “Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do,” it wasn't pity; it was clarity. They didn't know. And many still don't.At its core, the message is this: Most of what's broken in us started with what we were told—or never told. But once the truth is revealed, we're not just healed—we're remembered, re-formed, and restored back to God's original intention. Get full access to REDIN30 at redin30.substack.com/subscribe

Sunshine reveals God's character. In today's prayer and devotional, Chelsey DeMatteis reflects on the simple but powerful gift of warm, sunny days—and how they echo God's grace and goodness. Through her personal experiences and biblical truths, she encourages us to slow down and recognize the presence of God in everyday beauty. Sunny days aren’t just weather patterns; they are soul-deep reminders of God’s faithfulness, mercy, and the light of Christ. Scripture Observation and Application: Sunshine reveals God's character – warmth, joy, mercy, and light. Creation declares God’s glory (Psalm 19:1), and each sunrise and sunset can prompt heartfelt gratitude. Children’s simple thankfulness—like Chelsey’s son—can guide us toward deeper worship. Scripture reminds us: God is the ultimate source of light, both in nature and in our lives. Scripture to Meditate On: Psalm 19:1 – The heavens proclaim God's glory John 8:12 – Jesus is the light of the world John 1:5 – Light overcomes darkness Psalm 119:105 – God’s word lights our path 1 Peter 2:9 – Called out of darkness into marvelous light 2 Corinthians 4:6 – God shines light into our hearts

Single And Satisfied Matthew 16:24 - Then Jesus said to His disciples, “If anyone desires to come after Me let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me. (NKJV) Genesis 2:18 The Lord God said, “It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him.” (NIV) Proverbs 18:22 He who finds a wife finds what is good and receives favor from the Lord. (NIV) 1 Corinthians 7:8 So I say to those who aren’t married and to widows—it’s better to stay unmarried, just as I am. (NLT) 1. DISCOVER THE GIFT OF SINGLENESS 1 Corinthians 7:7–8 I wish that all of you were as I am. But each of you has your own GIFT from God; one has this gift, another has that. 8 Now to the unmarried and the widows I say: It is good for them to stay unmarried, as I do. (NIV) 2. DESIRE FOR MARRIAGE DOES NOT HAVE TO EQUAL DISCONTENTMENT IN LIFE 1 Corinthians 7:28 But if you do marry, you have not sinned; and if a virgin marries, she has not sinned. But those who marry will face many troubles in this life, and I want to spare you this. (NIV) 2A. RECOGNIZE THAT DESIRE AND CONTENTMENT ARE TWO DIFFERENT THINGS Philippians 4:11-13 I am not saying this because I am in need, for I have learned to be content WHATEVER the circumstances. 12 I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. 13 I can do all this through him who gives me strength. (NIV) 2B. SEE GOD’S GOODNESS IN YOUR SINGLENESS, NOT APART FROM IT 3. DISCERN THE ADVANTAGES OF SINGLENESS 3A. FREEDOM 1 Corinthians 7:32-33 I would like you to be free from concern. An unmarried man is concerned about the Lord’s affairs—how he can please the Lord. 33 But a married man is concerned about the affairs of this world—how he can please his wife— (NIV) 3B. FLEXIBILITY 3C. FOCUS 1 Corinthians 7:34–35 and his interests are divided. An unmarried woman or virgin is concerned about the Lord’s affairs: Her aim is to be devoted to the Lord in both body and spirit. But a married woman is concerned about the affairs of this world—how she can please her husband. 35 I am saying this for your own good, not to restrict you, but that you may live in a right way in UNDIVIDED DEVOTION to the Lord. (NIV)
La Porta | Renungan Harian Katolik - Daily Meditation according to Catholic Church liturgy
Delivered by Elyanne from the Parish of Saint James in the Diocese of Surabaya, Indonesia. Sirach 44: 10-15; Rs psalm 132: 11.13-14.17-18; Matthew 13: 16-17.LONGING TO SEE GOD The title for our meditation today is:Longing to See God. A long history of salvation illustrates the life and growthof the faith of those called to fulfill the will of God. Their communicationand relationship with God were manifested in the covenant that God would revealHimself as the savior of mankind. God always spoke and promised, for example toAbraham, Noah, kings and prophets, but He did not show up as a human being thatthey could meet face to face. A communication or relationship thatstill exists as a promise always gives us the consequence to wait for itsrealization. This is true with all the stories in the old testament. All thosewho accepted the promise and understood it very well can only hope in faiththat the promise of the coming of the Messiah, the awaited messenger of Godcould be realized. They all had the desire to see God. Their longing was notsomething empty but a real one, because God Himself already spoke about that,divine miracles and many other signs had really strengthened their faith in thecoming of the One sent from Heaven. But until they all died and left thisworld their dreams and wishes had not been realized. This illustration can helpus to reflect about this. There were two grandparents did not see one of theirgrandchildren to become a priest and if possible a bishop. They did not seewhat they had dreamt of. They had already died when one of their grandchildrenafter following all his formation proceses then to be ordained as a priest.This situation is similar to the people in the old testament. About these people, there are someexceptions. The scriptures only record a number of persons who did not directlyexperience the coming of the Messiah into the world. The parents of John theBaptist, Zakaria and Elisabeth should belong to this category. This includesalso the parents of Our Lady, Saint Joachim and Saint Anne, whose feast day wecelebrate today. This couple and grandparents were certainly very happy andproud because the Son of God who was born as Jesus Christ, is from the womb ofMary, their own daughter. When Jesus says, "Many prophetsand righteous people want to see what you see", He actually points this toSaints Joachim and Anne, and all other people including us, who see andexperience the incarnated God in this world. Jesus wants to say that by seeingand experiencing Himself in a real and personal way, this makes us a people sospecial and blessed. Therefore, we must be always grateful and happy. Let's pray. In the name of theFather ... O Lord Jesus, may through the intercession of Saints Joachim andAnne, we will remain faithful to You in all our lives. Glory to the Father andto the Son and to the Holy Spirit ... In the name of the Father ...
Send us a texta link to my web page https://www.bookclues.comA link to 4PM Media https://4pmmedia.com/What happens when God breaks out of the church walls we've confined Him to? Author Philip Martin invites us into this provocative question through his collection of Catholic short stories titled "Ephaphatha" – an Aramaic word meaning "be opened."Martin weaves together elements of Southern Gothic and magical realism to create stories where divine mercy and justice intersect with everyday life. Drawing from his experience as a Catholic theology teacher, he understands that while truth may be black and white, people are wonderfully complex. This complexity demands more than simple doctrinal statements – it requires stories that speak to the heart."Falsehood is not attractive," Martin observes during our conversation. "It might be comfortable, but it's not attractive." This insight drives his storytelling approach, one that recognizes today's young people as "fertile soil" thirsting for authentic truth rather than comfortable lies. Through tales of hands breaking through church walls, mysterious healings, and unexpected divine encounters, Martin creates narrative spaces where readers can experience what happens when God refuses to stay confined to Sunday mornings.The discussion extends beyond literature to explore the interconnection between truth, beauty, and goodness – transcendental qualities that have traditionally guided Christian understanding of reality. When truth is abandoned, beauty inevitably suffers as well. Conversely, beauty can serve as a powerful pathway back to truth, making aesthetically rich storytelling a particularly effective evangelistic tool in our visually-oriented culture.Listen now to discover how Catholic fiction speaks to modern hearts and minds through the timeless power of story. Whether you're interested in faith, literature, or simply compelling narratives, this conversation offers fresh perspectives on how stories can transform lives in ways straightforward facts never could.

“Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God.” — Matthew 5:8In Week 23 of the Rebel Manifesto series, Pastor Elle unpacks the meaning behind having a pure heart and how that purity leads to deeper connection with God.Message Highlights:What does “pure in heart” mean?The Greek word katharos means clean, unmixed, and undivided. Purity is not about perfection—it's about motive, surrender, and alignment with God's will.Three Marks of a Pure Heart:Clean – A pure heart isn't sinless, but it is surrendered. It's a heart that desires what God desires.Unmixed – A pure heart is not divided by idols or distractions. Like unpolluted water, it is clear and focused.Undivided – A heart in unity with itself and with God. A scattered heart leads to scattered actions. Purity brings alignment and purpose.Why Purity Matters:The heart is the wellspring of life. Everything we do flows from it.Purity is about inward motivation rather than outward performance.Repentance clears the pollution from our hearts and keeps us aligned with God.Conviction is a sign of God's closeness, not His anger.“They will see God”This promise is both present and future. We will one day see Him fully, but even now, we can see Him—in His Word, in His people, and in His presence. God wants to be seen more than we want to see Him.Scriptures referenced include Matthew 5:8, Luke 11:28, Psalm 24:3-4, Psalm 86:11, and Ezekiel 16:26.Key Reflection:"Will you surrender your heart to Me so that I can be the one to make you pure?" — GodSubscribe to follow the Rebel Manifesto series and stay connected to what God is speaking through Overflow Church.

When you're going through pain, confusion, or silence—it can feel like God is nowhere to be found. But in Genesis 28, Jacob had a dream, woke up, and said: “Surely the Lord is in this place, and I was not aware of it.” This devotional is for anyone who feels forgotten or overlooked by God in the middle of their trial. Just because you don't see Him working doesn't mean He's not there. His presence isn't always loud—but it is always faithful.

Every object, every creature, every man, woman and child, has a soul and it is the destiny of all, to see as God sees, to know as God knows, to feel as God feels, to Be as God is." -Meister Eckhart "The Life Force that perpetuates your heartbeat and maintains and sustains all the other organs and functions of your body is not physical, but it is spiritual... is not temporal, but is eternal. And once that basic truth has been established in your consciousness, you will experience the dissolution of all fear, the healing of all diseases, and the resolution of all conflicts. This is the supernal activity of the Word being made flesh... this is the sacred process of Divine Grace being established on earth as it is in Heaven." -Don Mardak "The highest meditation is to think of nothing. If you can remain without thought, great power will come." -Swami Vivekananda
