Awake With Jevon: Discovering Guides That Point The Way

SummarySoo Kim introduced the lesson "God is in everything I see," which explains why everything serves a universal purpose and is the foundation for vision. Jevon Perra explained that this implies everything is a projection or expression of God, and that individual perspective determines what is perceived as "good" or "bad." Jevon Perra also introduced two paths for personal progression, the "way of love" and the "way of wisdom," and discussed the concept of "Leela," the cosmic dance. The main talking points were the core idea, its application, the interconnectedness of all things, and different paths of spiritual progression.DetailsGod is in Everything I See Soo Kim introduces the lesson, "God is in everything I see," explaining that it clarifies why everything serves a universal purpose and why nothing is truly separate or meaningless. This idea is presented as the foundation for vision, though it may initially seem challenging or illogical (00:00:00).Application and Practice Soo Kim outlines the practice sessions, recommending six two-minute periods where participants repeat the idea and apply it to randomly chosen objects, emphasizing the importance of avoiding self-selection due to the idea's "wholly alien nature" (00:01:17). Jevon Perra connects this lesson to previous ones, suggesting it aligns with the concept of not knowing what one is looking at, as the purpose of the course is to remove obstacles to love, not to acquire it (00:02:44).God as Expression and Projection Jevon Perra explains that "God is in everything I see" implies everything is a projection or an expression of God (00:03:57). They clarify that God is not "in" individuals in a compartmentalized sense, but rather individuals exist within God (00:05:12). Jevon Perra also addresses the difficulty of accepting God's presence in seemingly negative events, reframing them as part of a larger, beneficial process, although acknowledging that such interpretations can be seen as "magic" (00:07:33).Perspective and Illusion Jevon Perra discusses how individual perspective determines what is perceived as "good" or "bad," illustrating this with an example of different reactions to the same person (00:09:37). They emphasize that everything experienced is part of one's own "story" or "movie," which is a projection from a single creative source, and that judgment is a constant human activity (00:10:38).Paths to Progression Jevon Perra introduces two paths for personal progression: the "way of love" (the way of the baby kitten, involving loving devotion and intention) and the "way of wisdom" (the way of the baby monkey, a harder path of understanding) (00:16:47). The left-hand path, associated with wisdom, involves domination and control, while the right-hand path, associated with love, involves letting go and forgiveness (00:17:43) (00:19:58). Jevon Perra clarifies that neither path is inherently good or bad, and individuals may engage in both, emphasizing the importance of avoiding rigidity in learning (00:20:58) (00:23:10).Cosmic Dance and Unfulfillment Jevon Perra introduces the concept of "Leela," the cosmic dance or divine play in Hindu philosophy, where the universe is a spontaneous expression of the divine (00:12:39) (00:14:35). Jevon Perra also highlights that feeling unfulfilled in life can be a "beautiful blessing," indicating an openness to different possibilities and a recognition that one's current existence might be infinitely smaller than what is possible (00:15:35).Masculine and Feminine Archetypes Soo Kim inquires about the connection between the kitten/monkey analogy and masculine/feminine archetypes, to which Jevon Perra clarifies that both masculine and feminine archetypes exist on each path (00:24:16). Jevon Perra explains that masculine archetypes tend to be more linear and goal-oriented, while feminine archetypes are more embracing, multi-tasking, open, accepting, and nurturing (00:25:18)."God is in Everything I See" Mantra Jevon Perra reiterates the core idea, "God is in everything I see," connecting it to the Sanskrit Gayatri chant, which expresses gratitude and recognition of God's omnipresent manifestation (00:26:40). Jevon Perra encourages applying this perspective to all encounters, even challenging ones, viewing them as expressions of God (00:29:14).Practice Schedule Soo Kim reminds Jevon Perra about the practice schedule, which includes six two-minute practice periods and repeating the idea at least once an hour. Jevon Perra suggests setting an hourly alarm as a reminder for the practice (00:31:08).Suggested next stepsSoo Kim will set up a Google Calendar invite for the practice periods and invite Jevon Perra.Soo Kim and Jevon Perra will practice the lesson by repeating the idea to themselves and then applying it to randomly chosen objects around them for six two-minute sessions.Soo Kim and Jevon Perra will repeat the idea at least once an hour, looking slowly about as they say the words to themselves.

In this episode of Porn and the Gospel, host Spencer Sutton invites brothers in Christ to take the first step on the ladder of blessing—becoming “poor in spirit.” Drawing from Matthew 5:3 and insights from Jerry Bridges, Charles Spurgeon, and Dane Ortlund, Spencer explores what true humility before God looks like for men striving for purity and holiness. Through Scripture, reflection, and prayer, he reminds us that we cannot lead our families, workplaces, or ourselves without first surrendering our pride and acknowledging our spiritual poverty. This is where grace begins—and where real transformation takes root. Key Takeaways Poverty of spirit is an attitude of the heart. True humility isn't about behavior—it's about posture before God. God blesses the humble. He dwells with the contrite and revives the heart of the lowly (Isaiah 57:15). Confession is freedom. Like the tax collector in Luke 18, we come to God not with good works, but with open repentance. Seeing God clearly reveals our need. When Isaiah saw the Lord, he said, “Woe is me!” before receiving cleansing and calling. Humility magnifies grace. As Dane Ortlund writes, Christ is a billionaire in mercy—our dependence only deepens His display of grace. Spiritual ambition and humility can coexist. Christ modeled both: total commitment to God's mission and total lowliness of heart. Scripture References Matthew 5:2–3 — “Blessed are the poor in spirit…” Deuteronomy 8:2 — God humbles to reveal what's in our hearts. Isaiah 57:15 — God dwells with the contrite and lowly. Luke 18:11–14 — The Pharisee and the tax collector. Isaiah 6:5 — “Woe is me, for I am lost.” Philippians 4:13 — Contentment through Christ, not self-sufficiency.

At the outset of his Sermon on the Mount, Jesus shares with his disciples the sixth thing that by which his followers are "blessed" or happy. He states, "Blessed are the pure in heart for they shall see God" (Matthew 5:8). But what does it mean to be pure in heart? And why is it such a big deal? And if I still battle sin, is it even possible for me to live a life of purity? The great blessing of  the pure in heart is that they will see God. But how can that be if no man has seen God?

Isaiah 6 records the prophet's personal account of how God called and commissioned him for ministry. This moment was meant to prepare and equip Isaiah, teaching him to place his trust fully in God—His sovereignty, grace, and power—no matter what challenges lay ahead. In the same way, if we are to remain faithful under pressure, we too need a vision of God that reveals Him as both sovereign and holy. In a world that can crumble in an instant, our only certainty can be found in an unfailing God who makes provision for our sin, gives us strength for each day, and hope for the future.

One Year Bible Podcast: Join Hunter and Heather Barnes on 'The Daily Radio Bible' for a daily 20-minute spiritual journey. Engage with scripture readings, heartfelt devotionals, and collective prayers that draw you into the heart of God's love. Embark on this year-long voyage through the Bible, and let each day's passage uplift and inspire you. TODAY'S EPISODE: Welcome to the Daily Radio Bible! In today's episode, “September 16th, 2025,” host Hunter invites us to gather around the Scriptures and discover what God is saying to us on day 260 of our journey. We'll explore detailed visions of the temple in Ezekiel 40 and 41, the blessings of Psalm 128, and the promise of a new heaven and new earth in Revelation 21. Hunter walks us through these passages as our Bible reading coach, highlighting how the temple—once the epicenter of sacrifice and divine presence—is ultimately eclipsed by Jesus, the true source of life, light, and hope. Heather joins to share a personal reflection on change, using a story about Portland's migrating swifts as a reminder of God's enduring faithfulness amidst life's transitions. Together, we close with heartfelt prayers and encouragement to embrace the new seasons God brings. Settle in as we warm our hearts by the fires of God's love, and remember—no matter what changes, you are loved. TODAY'S DEVOTION: The story of sacrifice is no more. That's what stands out in today's readings—a whole narrative built around altars, offerings, and a temple, with its Most Holy Place, fades away. In Ezekiel, we see exact measurements for the place where heaven and earth would meet, the space where God would, by design, invite broken humanity into his holy presence through sacrifice. The temple stood as the epicenter of Israel's worship and God's bridge to his people. Every room, every altar, every detail pointed forward, always and only ever pointing us to him—the Lamb. But in Revelation, John sees something altogether new. The story changes. There is no more temple, because there is no more need for it: “I saw no temple in the city, for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are its temple.” Even the sun and the moon, those keepers of time, are no more. All that once gave structure and symbol to history has been eclipsed. Darkness, suffering, and death are gone. The instruments of sacrifice have given way to the fullness of what they pointed towards—Jesus himself. What remains? Life. The Lamb's Book of Life. Jesus, the Lamb, has brought history to its completion. All stories are now dissolved into his, and only he remains, shining brighter than the sun, illuminating the city, and infusing every moment with the glory of God. The story of God's unfailing love has reached its apex, and you have been woven into that story. Your name, written in his book, means you share his eternal life and light. So now, we are called to live in that light, to abide in him, to let his life become ours. All other stories fall away. The seasons change. The world shifts around us. But here is something that endures, unchanging: you are written into the very life of Christ. The Lamb is your temple. The Lamb is your life. That's a prayer I have for my own soul. That's a prayer I have for my family, for my wife, my daughters, my son. And that's a prayer 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

Through prayer and thoughtful reflection, this episode encourages us to see ourselves and our world through God's eyes—understanding that what He offers us in Christ is a gift of new life, hope, and joy, not because we earned it, but because of His immeasurable love. Settle in as we draw encouragement from Scripture, join in heartfelt prayers, and remember together that we are deeply loved by God. TODAY'S DEVOTION: TODAY'S DEVOTION: People have the wrong impression about God. And God is going to correct that. When people see the suffering and hardship of God's people, they have the mistaken impression that God isn't good or that he's not powerful enough to help them when they really need it. They're wrong about that. They have the wrong impression. But God's going to help us all see, like he helped Ezekiel see. It's a vision in a valley of dry, dismembered, dead, lifeless bones, skeletons littering the valley. God desires to correct our wrong impression by impressing us with this amazing vision. For at his word, God resurrects these bones into living, breathing bodies. He restores them to life. And God is clear that it's not because they deserve it, but because he wants them and us to have the right impression of him. He wants us and the whole world to know what he's truly like. He's like David, Ezekiel tells us, a good shepherd and a loving and powerful king. But he's far better than David. It's important that we have the right impression. He is the one who was raised from the dead. He is the one who offers all of us dead, lifeless people resurrection, life. When we look at him, we get the right impression. We understand fully what God is truly like. We see what God is offering us through his Son. He offers us life, hope, joy, love—the life we've always wanted, a life we didn't earn, but one that we have received. This is what can happen if we get the right impression. May God impress you today with who he is and who you have become. He is the resurrection and the life, and this is what he has done. He has resurrected and given life to the dead. First Corinthians 15 says, "For as in Adam, all die, even so, in Christ all shall be made alive." God has breathed life into the sons and daughters of Adam. This is God's vision. This is what God was up to in Christ. This is what he has finished and completed. This is the impression God wants us to see and understand. And it's all a gift from the God of love. May God open our eyes to see him, what he's done, and what we have become. That's the prayer that I have for my own soul. 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

Sin begins when we see God wrongly. In this episode, Pastors Whit and Gabe George walk through James 1:13–21, showing how maturity doesn't come from behavior modification but from a heart that receives and trusts the Father who gives every good and perfect gift. When we see God clearly, we stop aiming at the wrong targets, let go of anger and judgment, and allow Him to reshape our desires.   Show notes: Check out their weekend messages: Whit's Message: https://youtu.be/ULD-l7vOAVQ?si=LmFjmlrwLNNxinOa Gabe's Message: https://youtu.be/SUOpxyaOiu8?si=mWhpAs8PyW5oQcGL   In this episode, Whit mentions a prayer attributed to Dr. Samuel Johnson: Almighty and most merciful Father, whose clemency I now presume to employ. After a long life of carelessness and wickedness, have mercy upon me. I have committed many trespasses. I have neglected many duties. I have done what you have forbidden, and I have left undone what you have commanded. Forgive, merciful Lord, my sins, negligences, and ignorances, and enable me by the Holy Spirit to amend my life according to thy Holy Word.

Hey Friend! Wow, can you believe it is back to school already?  We had a very different summer this year, but God's hand was in all of it and I wouldn't want it any other way.  If He is in the middle of whatever is happening, there is peace.  One of the many things I love about Fall is that even though here in MN things start to die, there is also a new and refreshing energy I feel.  I love the crispy air and sweatshirt weather and like it to last as long as possible before the deep freeze, but for me Fall is so abundant.  It is a very full season for us with all the garden produce, apple orchard harvest, bear hunting that starts at the beginning of September and then deer hunting.  This is when we store most of our food for the year, so it is very productive.  We only get bear tags every 6 years and our 15 year old daughter has one this year, so hoping for success for her as this will be her first one.  My husband gets pretty excited getting everything ready for the hunt which starts in August.  It really is such a blessing for them to get to experience it and I am so thankful they are so well rounded in so many areas of life and have more skills than 95% of their peers.  I truly believe they are going to be so much further in life with the every day life they have learned over the years.  From how to save on groceries and cook from scratch to hunting for food, processing it all along with all the life skills they learn on a homestead with animals!   I am so grateful for all of you that reach out and are loving the podcast and now the instagram content!  I am so so thankful for all of you-who knew this would grow so big just a few years ago when I had no idea what I was doing!  Just trying to share everything I know to live a simpler life.  Sometimes I feel like I'm failing you because I don't have consistent content, but then I remember that I'm doing the Lord's work and I don't have to burn out or give up my values especially after last year and knowing that rest is needed.  Thank you for the grace.   So this summer we have been getting ready for next Spring as we will have a graduation here for our daughter that is a senior. We have been moving flower gardens(they were full of the most gorgeous flowers along with many thistles and grass that I couldn't get rid of, so we made new garden beds for them. We have been staining and other miscellaneous things around here with the help of many Grandkids we have had over the summer with their daycares being off quite a bit which is fun ~ they just love it here and so fun for them to learn about the animals and milking, gathering eggs and all the fun that happens on a farm.  Most of our fencing and barn work is done for now and it helps to have portable electric fencing from premier one.  That works so nice for rotating the animals easily and often.   There was a time in June when I couldn't get out of bed for 5 days, even lift my phone and I ended up having anaplasmosis, so glad I finally went in.  I'm a little stubborn knowing that most viruses they can't do anything for, but after not getting better, I knew it had to be something other than the flu or covid and i didn't even I had been bitten by a deer tick, but I did have several of them crawling on me at different times I hadn't thought much of.  That took some time to recover from and then my husband's job unexpected was off work for a while, so he ended up going to a different company putting in natural gas, so there has been alot of change around here.  My 15 year old started working in the spring as a phenomenal sourdough bakery that just opened up and she still needs rides, so glad it is only 15 minutes away and our other daughter is working in a kitchen at a resort, so they have been busy girls between working, sports, 2 large lawns they mow and numerous church camps.  It was just very different to not see them as much, but I am thankful to have such responsible kids.   We have seen God's hand in all the hard things this summer and after testing instagram again for a couple months, my business grew really fast, so I'm working on creating more content to save you money and if you have not already, make sure you are following @claimingsimplicity on instagram.  I actually niched down to talking about cooking from scratch and how to cook dinners once a week for under &75 because that is what you wanted more of, so I'm slowly but surely working on some products around grandkids, kids, farm and all the fun that summer brings!   Now that we will get back to a semi normal routine, I hope to be back here weekly!  As always, please reach out with any topics or questions you have!   God Bless you!  Have a fantastic week! Monica

“I was a hopeless drug fiend now I'm a drugless hope fiend” -Darin Ashley “prodigal”: 1. Wastefully extravagant – spending money or resources recklessly, without care. 2. Lavishly generous – giving or spending on a grand scale (can be positive or negative depending on context). When the word prodigal is used, it typically brings to mind the thoughts of a son coming home after wasting all the riches he's been given. A lost one who's been wandering and now coming home. But there's two sides to the prodigal coin. On this weeks show, Kurt and Chad welcome the founder of Prodigal Ministries (https://prodigalky.org) John Chilton, Executive Director Scott Bartelt, and former client and now advocate Darin Ashley as they talk about the transitions from inside prison to outside prison, about what it means to be a prodigal son coming home to a prodigal Father who is lavish with His grace and love.
