RHLSTP #583 - Seeing God in a Cloud - Rich is three days into Edinburgh and is already shouting angrily at the Scotch people, but mainly because he's had a claim to fame taken away from him. His guest is a man who has also done a whole Edinburgh show about missing parts of his genitals, Tom Rosenthal. They chat about how being a movie star makes you very conscious of how much your watch costs, whether the people stuff say about you is true, why we don't accuse butchers of nepotism, a brand new idea for an Edinburgh show for babies, the scam that philosophers are perpetrating (it's Henri Bergson that he couldn't remember the name of, and Justin Lee Collins), playing Private Pike and whether Richard's many failures are down to his refusal to embrace his spiritual side.See Tom on tour - https://tomrosenthal.net/SUPPORT THE SHOW!Watch our TWITCH CHANNELBecome a badger and see extra content at our WEBSITE See details of the RHLSTP TOUR DATES Buy DVDs and books from GO FASTER STRIPE Hosted on Acast.

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. Discover more with us at cefc.church.

In today's episode, we begin with Psalm 24—a majestic psalm declaring that the earth belongs to the Lord and asking, Who is this King of glory? The answer powerfully points us to the Lord, strong and mighty. From there, we move into Isaiah 40, where God speaks words of comfort to His people and reminds us of His infinite greatness. These chapters together reveal both the majesty of God as King and His tender strength for those who trust in Him. Let's dive in and be lifted by the hope and assurance these passages bring.As always be blessed and enjoy.Please follow, like, and share our podcast with a friend or family member!

In this episode, Swamiji explores the profound question: Can we truly see God? Drawing from the Ishavasya Upanishad and other Vedic scriptures, he reveals how God manifests in infinite forms—each designed to uplift the soul and deepen our devotion. Listeners will discover how divine forms like Shree Krishna's are not symbolic or imaginary, but real, eternal, and spiritually potent. Through scriptural references and poetic analogies, Swamiji explains how the Lord's form is both accessible and transcendent, inviting seekers into a relationship of love and surrender.  Building upon our previous episode about the ever-fresh form of God, this discussion deepens your understanding of divine perception, the role of grace in spiritual vision, and the transformative power of seeing God with the eyes of faith. Tune in to enrich your journey into the philosophical depths of the Upanishads and elevate your quest for truth, devotion, and divine intimacy.

Lecture by Swami Tyagananda, given on September 21, 2025, at the Ramakrishna Vedanta Society, Boston, MA

You've probably heard of Noah's Ark. Animals, a boat, a rainbow... and, oh yeah, a global flood. Sounds like God was in a bad mood, right? This week, Kyle Ranson flips the script on one of the Bible's wildest stories. It's not about anger (or even just a Biblical precursor of “We Bought a Zoo”)—it's about a God and his deep love for his people. Recorded live at Crossroads Church in Cincinnati, Ohio.

This is the sermon for the Lord's Day, September 21, 2025.

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  

On today's episode we explore what it means to be a Christian on mission, using John 4 and Jesus' encounter with the Samaritan woman as the central example. Jesus teaches us the importance of lifting up our eyes and looking for the opportunities that are all around us. He reveals that we are to overcoming cultural barriers to reach unexpected people like this Samaritan woman. To be a Christian on mission means we must see and seize the opportunities that God has placed all around us!

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, where together we journey through the pages of Scripture. In today's episode, host Hunter invites us to reflect on September 14th's readings from Ezekiel 36–37, Psalm 110, and Revelation 19. As we listen, we are drawn into vivid images of restoration, hope, and the powerful promises of God—a valley of dry bones brought back to life, a unified people, and a vision of the one who is the Resurrection and the Life. Hunter reminds us that, even in times of adversity and doubt, God's purpose remains: to reveal His true nature as a loving and powerful King who brings life where there was once only death and despair. 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.

There are few things more painful than a troubled heart weighed down by fear, pain, or a personal crisis. How do you pray when you feel like the LORD has abandoned you? Be encouraged with this workshop of Psalm 77!

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.

Seeing God

TODAY'S TREASUREBut ask the animals and they will teach you, or the birds of the air and they will tell you. Or speak to the earth, and it will teach you, or let the fish of the sea inform you. Which of all these does not know that the hand of the Lord has done this? In His hand is the life of every creature and the breath of all mankind.Job 12: 7-10Send us a comment!Support the show

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

What if God is working around you right now—and you're just not seeing it? In this inspiring episode of Youth Worker on Fire, Doug Edwards explores the idea of “holy surprises”—unexpected moments that reveal God's presence in our ordinary lives. From student mission trips to sidewalk encounters with friends who've survived the impossible, Doug shows how recognizing God's sightings can strengthen faith, encourage students, and restore hope in the middle of ministry struggles. Drawing from John 5:17, James 1:17, Isaiah 43:19, Matthew 7:7, Ephesians 3:20, and 1 Corinthians 2:9, this episode is packed with stories and Scripture that remind us: ✅ God never stops working—even when we don't see it ✅ Small encounters can be life-changing “holy surprises” ✅ Why teaching students to notice God builds lifelong faith ✅ How prayer opens our eyes to see His gifts in unexpected ways

“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.

One of the deepest questions of the human heart is "What is God like?" John tells us to know what God is like, we look to Jesus and to those who belong to Jesus.

This is Pastor Tom Arnould welcoming you to the Good News Radio Broadcast. On today's program I will be sharing a message on the subject of faith. Hebrews 11:1 in the Amplified Bible reads, "...faith perceiving as real fact what is not revealed to the senses." Simply put, faith will look to the promises of God instead of the problems of life.

Seeing God's creation, I'm in awe. As the galaxies spin in a heavenly dance, I'm so captivated. I'm delighted in the beauty of this world. All of it. It's so overwhelming. If you're going to be overwhelmed today – be overwhelmed by the beauty of God's creation. His fingerprints are everywhere if we only look […]

We've all said a time or two, “Adulting is hard!” Daily traffic, kids crying, constant negative news, bills to pay, laundry to fold, food to cook . . . we're all driven to distraction. Sadly, such distractions also limit our focus on what's vitally important. In fact, have you stopped recently to ask yourself what […]Read complete post.

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, and thanks for joining us on this seventh day of August, day 220 in our journey through the Scriptures. I'm Hunter, your host and Bible reading coach, here to spend some meaningful time with you in God's Word. Today, we're delving into Zephaniah chapters 1 through 3 and John chapter 9. Together, we'll explore powerful themes: God's judgment, restoration, and the surprising ways He reveals Himself, even in our darkest moments. As we read about the dire warnings to Jerusalem and the miracle of the man born blind, we're invited to let go of false ideas about God and discover His true nature—one of love, restoration, and self-giving grace. Stay tuned as we open our hearts, let the Bible direct our gaze to Jesus, and pray for eyes to see the light of the world anew. TODAY'S DEVOTION: He opens our eyes to the truth of who God is. What is God to do with a world trapped in darkness, unable to see, fumbling after answers and lost beneath lies about who he is? Many of us, even those who have walked with God, labor under the false assumption that God is distant, angry, and waiting to punish us, that his aim is to make an example out of us for our sins or our parents' mistakes. But when Jesus steps onto the scene, he is the light of the world, shining in our darkness—a living answer to every doubt and misbelief about God's heart. We witness this firsthand in John 9, as Jesus bends to the earth, forms mud from his own spit and the dust, and spreads it across a blind man's eyes. What was lifeless and incapable of sight is remade by the hands of God, and suddenly the impossible happens—this man sees. The very power of God is revealed in this healing, but it's not just a physical miracle. This is a sign. Jesus is showing us what he longs to do for each of us: to remove the scales from our eyes, to free us from crippling untruths about the Father, and to welcome us into the radiant light of his presence. Yet, so often, lies keep us bound in darkness. Religion might paint God in the colors of our own fears, as if he is more interested in punishment than in restoration, as if he is more judge than Father. But Jesus shows us something utterly different—self-giving, radically forgiving, co-suffering love. When we look at Jesus, we are seeing the heart of the Father. As he told Philip: “If you've seen me, you've seen the Father.” There is no shadow side to God, no surprise cruelty or hidden rage, only the faithful love we see in Jesus. Are you weary of the darkness, of striving and fearing separation? Let Jesus open your eyes today. Let him show you who God really is: the one who heals, who welcomes, who sings over you with joy. You are not separate or abandoned; you're invited into his light, already embraced in his love. This is the prayer I carry for my own soul, for my family, for my wife, my daughters, and my son. And it is the prayer I hold for you. May it be so. TODAY'S PRAYERS: Lord of life, you have awakened me again to the gift of this day. You go before me, walk beside me and dwell within me. Let me walk slowly in your presence. May I resist the hurried spirit of this world and instead breathe deep of your peace. Open my eyes to beauty, my ears to your voice and my heart to the quiet work of grace. Help me not to strive, but to abide, not to achieve, but to receive today. Let my words carry your kindness, my actions reflect your mercy. My thoughts be anchored in your truth that I am yours and you are with me. 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 trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever and ever. 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  

From life's frustrating moments to the tragedy that happens: God is working in all of it. But how do we trust God through something that doesn't make sense? We find hope in what one of the apostles went through.
