That path is laid out in the Scripture and must be followed by submitting to the authority of the Lord. Along that path, however, are many features, trails, and particulars. This is because people are different. What affects you might be different from what affects me. What draws you, fulfills you, or aligns with your gifts might differ from me. Does this mean one of us is broken? Or that more honor is due one than the other? NO!We are all different. This does not mean some of us keep some laws and omit others to suit our preferences. No one is saying that (Don't write me up, please). But can we be honest that what feels strongest or fulfills us most may differ among people?

“Forgetting God” Micha 6 v1-8 [2nd Aug 2026] by Servant's Church

DANIEL (Daniel 1:3-5 NIV) Then the king ordered the chief to bring into the king’s service some of the Israelites from the royal family and the nobility— 4 young men without any physical defect, handsome, showing aptitude for every kind of learning, well informed, quick to understand, and qualified to serve in the king’s palace. He was to teach them the language and literature of the Babylonians. 5 The king assigned them a daily amount of food and wine from the king’s table. They were to be trained for three years, and after that they were to enter the king’s service. Your greatest ministry may happen in a place you never wanted to be. There’s a difference between having a resolve to follow God and merely dabbling in faith. (Daniel 1:8 NIV) But Daniel resolved not to defile himself with the royal food and wine, and he asked the chief official for permission not to defile himself this way. (Daniel 6:10 NIV) Now when Daniel learned that the decree had been published, he went home to his upstairs room where the windows opened toward Jerusalem. Three times a day he got down on his knees and prayed, giving thanks to his God, just as he had done before. He prayed “before” the crisis. That’s why he knew what to do during the crisis. When prayer is your habit, panic loses its power. (Philippians 4:6-7 NKJV) Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; 7 and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. (Daniel 1:7 NIV) The chief official gave them new names: to Daniel, the name Belteshazzar; to Hananiah, Shadrach; to Mishael, Meshach; and to Azariah, Abednego. Hananiah – Yahweh has been gracious. Mishael – Who is what God is. Azariah – Yahweh has helped. Shadrach – Inspired of Aku. Meshach – Belonging to Aku. Abendnego – Servant of Nego. (Matthew 16:18 HCSB) And I also say to you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build My church, and the forces of Hades will not overpower it. (2 Corinthians 5:17 NIV) Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here! (2 Corinthians 4:8-9 NIV) We are hard-pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; 9 persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed. (Isaiah 43:1 ESV) Fear not, for I have redeemed you, I have called you by name, you are mine.

Paul was a servant of the Lord and he wanted the people in Philippi to be as well.

Talk from Malcolm Hundley on 2 August 2026

On Friday, July 31st, we hosted Dr. Ginie Servant-Miklos for a Q&A about her book Pedagogies of Collapse: A Hopeful Education for the End of the World As We Know It. This was the conclusion of our Pedagogies of Collapse book club, where we met biweekly to discuss the book and its implication for education. Here is the full unedited Q&A. I wanted to give you a heads up that this conversation gets heavy pretty quickly, includes explicit language, and remind you that HRP is a nonpartisan 501(c)(3), and the views expressed by our guests are their own and do not constitute an endorsement.

What separates a trainer who presents useful information from one whose work stays with people long after the session ends?Kristal Markle-Temons believes the difference is how the trainer makes people feel.In this episode of Lessons from Learning Leaders, Kristal shares the path that led her from overseeing learning for 16,000 government employees to building a career around servant leadership, culture, and leadership development. Early in that work, she noticed that many people had been promoted because they were excellent accountants, attorneys, social workers, or technical experts, but they had never been prepared to lead other people.That realization led her to the work of Jim Hunter, author of The Servant. Kristal tells the remarkable story of writing and calling him repeatedly until he finally responded, then developing a mentoring relationship that lasted close to a decade. Together, they helped shape a servant leadership program designed to influence more than workplace performance. Kristal wanted leaders to become better managers, parents, partners, friends, and members of their communities.Her career took an unexpected turn after she was struck from behind by a truck traveling 55 miles per hour. The resulting traumatic brain injury affected her ability to read, write, and speak, and made it difficult to work within the expectations of a traditional job. As a single mother, she had to rebuild her life and relearn much of her profession. That process eventually led her to graduate school, entrepreneurship, and the creation of BGL: Bold Growth & Leadership.Much of our conversation focuses on Kristal's idea that trainers should become firestarters rather than simply facilitators. A firestarter creates an experience that moves people emotionally and gives them a reason to remember and use what they learned. That requires more than polished slides, useful information, or the latest training technology.Kristal identifies three emotional truths that help transform learning:Vulnerability. Trust. Love.We discuss why trainers must be willing to model vulnerability before expecting it from participants, how storytelling can create the psychological safety needed for honest conversations, and why love belongs in conversations about leadership and learning. Kristal is not talking about liking everyone in the room. She describes love as an action expressed through service, respect, humility, and a genuine commitment to another person's growth.We also explore the difference between giving a speech and conducting training. A speech may inspire people, but training should prepare them to do something differently afterward. Kristal begins her design process by asking what participants should be able to do tomorrow and what they need to feel before they will be willing to do it.This conversation is a reminder that people may forget much of what appeared on our slides, but they often remember the trainer who made it safe to think differently, tell the truth, and see themselves in a new way.Connect with Kristal Markle-TemonsVisit BGL: Bold Growth & Leadership to learn about Kristal's leadership development, culture, facilitation, and consulting work.Visit Bossy Girl Leadership for Kristal's work helping women embrace their power and practice servant leadership.Connect with Kristal on LinkedIn.Learn more about Beautifully Bossy: A Guide to Servant Leadership.Email shared during the episode: kristal@bgleadership.comPublic Bossy Girl Leadership email: kristal@bossygirl.orgShare this episode with a trainer, facilitator, or leader who believes learning should do more than deliver information, and subscribe to Lessons from Learning Leaders so you do not miss the next conversation.

Friday - A Servant's Heart, pt. 5 by Emmanuel Baptist Church, San Jose, CA

In this powerful episode, we look to Christ's example in suffering and unjust treatment in order to follow in his footsteps and live to righteousness.

The Towel and the Basin: The Heart of a Servant – John 13:1–17 In Episode 145 of Divine Table Talk, Jamie and Jane begin one of the most intimate and transformative sections of the Gospel of John. In John 13:1–17, Jesus—the King of kings—kneels to wash the feet of His disciples, revealing that true greatness in God's Kingdom is found in humble service. Together, they unpack the significance of this unforgettable moment, exploring what it means to love sacrificially, lead with humility, and serve others with the heart of Christ. Peter's struggle to accept Jesus' act of service also reminds us that following Jesus means learning both to receive His grace and to extend it to others. This episode is an invitation to exchange pride for humility, status for service, and self-centered living for the example Jesus modeled on the night before the cross. As followers of Christ, we're not just called to admire His example—we're called to live it. Who is Jesus inviting me to serve with humility this week, and am I willing to lay down my pride to love like He loved?____________________________________ Connect with Jamie: Website: www.jamieklusacek.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jamieklusacek Connect with Jane: Website: www.janewwilliams.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/janewwilliams

A Servant of Christ Jesus: The Gospel That Claims Your Life Romans: The Gospel That Changes Everything | Romans 1:1 Romans begins not with Paul's accomplishments, credentials, education, reputation, or influence. Paul begins with Jesus Christ. “Paul, a servant of Christ Jesus, called to be an apostle, set apart for the gospel of God.” Romans 1:1 Before Paul explains the gospel, he shows us what the gospel had already done in his life. The gospel had taken a man who once persecuted the church and made him a servant of Christ Jesus. It had taken a man who once opposed Christ and made him an apostle of Christ. It had taken a man who trusted in his own righteousness and set him apart for the gospel of God. The gospel was not merely a message Paul preached. It was the message that had mastered his entire life. Listen or Watch Paul Belongs to Jesus Christ Paul begins by identifying himself as “a servant of Christ Jesus.” The word translated “servant” carries the idea of belonging to another. Paul was not presenting himself as an independent religious thinker, a self-appointed spiritual authority, or a religious free agent. Paul belonged to Jesus Christ. This is especially significant when we remember Paul's former life. He had opposed Christ, persecuted the church, and sought to destroy those who followed Jesus. But the risen Christ met Paul, saved him, called him, and claimed him. Paul's identity was no longer found in his religious status, personal zeal, ethnic background, education, or moral record. His identity was found in belonging to Christ. This directly confronts the modern pursuit of self-definition. People are constantly encouraged to define themselves by their desires, achievements, personalities, politics, careers, suffering, successes, failures, sexuality, or personal stories. The Christian, however, does not begin with self-definition. The Christian begins with Jesus Christ. Dear Christian, your deepest identity is not found in what you have done, what has been done to you, what you feel, what you accomplish, what you lose, or what others say about you. Your deepest identity is this: You belong to Jesus Christ. Christ is not a cruel master. He is the Savior who purchased His people with His blood, brought them into His kingdom, and rules them with grace, truth, wisdom, and love. To be saved by Christ is to belong to Christ. Paul Was Called to Be an Apostle Paul continues by saying that he was “called to be an apostle.” Paul did not appoint himself to this office. His apostleship did not arise from personal ambition, charisma, education, or persuasive ability. Paul was called directly by the risen Jesus Christ. An apostle was one sent with authority as an appointed witness and messenger of Christ. Paul therefore did not write Romans as a man merely sharing his private opinions or theological reflections. He wrote as one called by Christ and authorized to deliver apostolic instruction to the church. Paul's apostleship was unique and foundational. The apostles laid the foundation of the church, with Jesus Christ Himself as the cornerstone. The church does not need new apostles who claim the same authority as Paul, Peter, or John. The church remains under the apostolic Word preserved for us in the sixty-six books of Scripture. This is especially important in light of movements such as the New Apostolic Reformation, where some individuals claim to possess the same kind of apostolic authority found in the New Testament. Paul's apostleship cannot be separated from his direct calling by the risen Christ, his role as an eyewitness, and his recognition by the other apostles. The foundational apostolic office is not an ongoing office that must be restored in every generation. The foundation has already been laid. Christians today do not need new apostles or new revelation. We need the inspired, inerrant, sufficient, clear, and authoritative Word of God. The authority of Christian ministry does not rest in the personality, office, influence, or reputation of the servant. It rests in Jesus Christ and in the Word He has given. Paul Was Set Apart for the Gospel Paul also says that he was “set apart for the gospel of God.” His entire life had been marked off, claimed, and devoted to one message: the good news that comes from God. The gospel is not Paul's invention. It is not religious philosophy, political ideology, moral advice, cultural therapy, or a program of self-improvement. It is the gospel of God. God is the source of the gospel. God is the author of the gospel. God is the revealer of the gospel. God is the One who accomplishes salvation through the person and sufficient work of His Son. The gospel is God's message about God's Son for God's glory and the salvation of sinners. Because the gospel comes from God, Christians do not have the authority to revise, soften, reshape, or reinvent it. We must receive it with humility, proclaim it with confidence, and remain faithful to what God has revealed in His Word. Sinners cannot save themselves through morality, sincerity, religious activity, personal achievement, or self-effort. Humanity's deepest problem is not merely brokenness, disappointment, or a lack of purpose. Every person is a sinner by nature and by choice and stands in need of reconciliation with God. The good news is that Jesus Christ lived the righteous life we have not lived. He died the death sinners deserve, bearing the penalty for sin in the place of His people. He rose from the dead in power and reigns as Lord over all. The gospel is not about sinners climbing their way up to God. It is the announcement that God has acted in Jesus Christ to save sinners who cannot save themselves. The Gospel Reorders the Whole Life In one verse, Paul tells us who he is, who owns him, who called him, and what he has been set apart to proclaim. Paul is a servant of Christ Jesus. He is called to be an apostle. He is set apart for the gospel of God. His identity, authority, calling, labor, suffering, and mission are all defined by Christ and the gospel. The gospel did not occupy one small part of Paul's life. It reordered his entire life. This is where Romans 1:1 presses upon every Christian. What defines us? What owns us? What message has captured our hearts? Where are our attention, energy, devotion, affection, and obedience directed? The Christian life is not Jesus added to an otherwise self-directed life. The Christian life is a life lived under the lordship of Jesus Christ. We belong to Him. We are saved by Him. We are called to follow Him. We are sent to bear witness to Him. We are set apart to live for the glory of God. The gospel that saves sinners also claims sinners for the glory of God. Come to Jesus Christ Paul was not always a servant of Jesus Christ. He was once an enemy of Christ, a persecutor of the church, and a man who trusted in his own righteousness. But Jesus Christ saved him, claimed him, called him, and sent him. That is grace, and that same grace is the hope of every sinner. You cannot make yourself acceptable to God through your works. You cannot redefine yourself into salvation. You do not clean yourself up and then come to Christ. You come to Christ because Christ alone saves. Turn from your sin and trust in Jesus Christ alone. Rest in His perfect righteousness, sufficient death, and victorious resurrection. Be reconciled to God through the person and work of Jesus Christ. Dear Christian, remember who you are. You belong to Jesus Christ. You are not your own. You were bought with a price. Your life is not meaningless, and your identity is not up for grabs. Trust the gospel. Submit to God's Word. Rest in the righteousness of Christ. Proclaim the gospel of God. Live as one who belongs to the Lord.

Thursday - A Servant's Heart, pt. 4 by Emmanuel Baptist Church, San Jose, CA

Secrets Of Scotland Yard - Servant ProblemBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/harold-s-old-time-radio--4206392/support.

Sterling Seizert spent his career as a US Army Special Forces Green Beret, serving as a senior communications and intelligence sergeant in 10th Special Forces Group and as a Special Operations liaison at the US Embassy in Nigeria. When he transitioned out, he carried the same discipline into entrepreneurship, and today he's the founder of Patriot Capital and Legends Lodge, overseeing eight self storage facilities worth over 58 million dollars and serving 3,100 clients. He's also the author of the new book Buy Your Freedom. This one goes deeper than either man expected. Sterling opens with a harrowing 2013 combat story, then he and Larry get into how training builds calm under pressure, servant leadership in marriage, raising daughters who hold themselves to a standard, and why honesty in a home should be celebrated rather than punished. If you want a masterclass in staying grounded when the stakes are high, this is it.   Timeline Summary [2:54] – The 2013 mission in northwest Africa and the firefight that changed everything [6:11] – Holding a soldier's heart and being told to keep the rhythm [8:11] – Did training take over, or was there disbelief in the moment? [10:26] – How repetition inoculates you to the sights, sounds, and smells of the battlefield [12:32] – Advice for the average man facing his own hard situation [14:25] – Why action creates clarity and keeps you out of rumination [15:11] – The full bio: Green Beret, Nigeria, and 58 million in self storage [17:36] – Growing up in small-town Wisconsin and a colder father [20:59] – The deep question: would he still eat Taco Bell knowing what he knows? [22:21] – Did quitting ever cross his mind in selection? It never did [26:07] – The frozen ambush in North Carolina and putting suffering in perspective [30:35] – Getting recycled through small unit tactics and choosing to be an asset [32:09] – The first responder divorce rate and how he and Rebecca stayed tight [32:36] – Marriage as service, and why keeping score never works [35:09] – Serving your wife without becoming the nice guy or the domineering man [38:33] – Servant leadership, apologizing, and holding a standard at the same time [39:03] – Larry and Sterling compare their household standards for conflict [41:07] – The one question that disarms almost any argument with someone close [43:44] – The plan for when his daughters start dating, sniper school included [45:10] – Raising strong daughters to look for ambition and a standard [48:14] – What this generation of young men is missing, from social media to porn [52:03] – Cultivating real connection with daughters in the teenage years [54:13] – The one hard rule he'll raise his voice over, and why honesty gets celebrated [57:29] – The two books that changed his life, plus his own new release   5 Key Takeaways Action Creates Clarity — When you're facing something hard, assess what needs to get done and execute in order. Movement keeps you out of the rumination loop and steadily reveals the next right step. Marriage Is Service, Not Score — Approach your marriage as the person there to serve, and assume your spouse will meet you halfway. Keeping score guarantees you'll always find a way to justify why you're winning. Serve Without Being a Doormat — Servant leadership isn't groveling and it isn't domineering. Hold a real standard for how you're treated, model that same standard yourself, and pick the battles that actually matter. Assume the Best Interest — In conflict with someone close, ask whether they truly lack your family's best interest at heart. Nine times out of ten they don't, which turns the fight into the two of you against the problem. Celebrate Honesty, Don't Punish It — Make ownership safe. When kids know honesty is welcomed rather than met with punishment, you can address the actual problem instead of untangling a lie on top of it.   Links & Resources Episode page and all links: https://thedadedge.com/1510 Join the Dad Edge Alliance: https://thedadedge.com/join Dad Edge Boardroom Goal Setting Intensive (July 31, 8am central): https://thedadedge.com/goals Buy Your Freedom by Sterling Seizert: https://a.co/d/0fwMJAzB   Enjoyed This Episode?

Servants Meeting @ St. Julitta Coptic Orthodox Church - Pearland, TX ~ July 26, 2026

What does your faith look like on a Monday morning? First Peter 2:18-25 is one of the most practical and challenging passages in the New Testament, addressing how Christians are called to live out their faith in the workplace, in difficult relationships, and in moments of unjust suffering. This passage begins with a call to honor those in authority, even when that authority is unjust. Peter is not writing only to ancient household servants. He is writing to anyone who has a person in authority over them. The standard for how a Christian works is not determined by how fair the boss is or how fulfilling the job is. It is determined by the lordship of Jesus Christ over every area of life. Colossians 3:23-24 reinforces this, calling believers to work heartily as for the Lord, not for men. One of the most searching questions in this passage is whether your faith is visible enough to create any friction with the world around you. Second Timothy 3:12 is clear that those who desire to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will face some form of persecution. If there is zero tension between your faith and your daily life, that may not be a sign of peace. It may be a sign that your faith is not visible enough to be noticed. Peter also draws a sharp distinction between enduring consequences for your own wrongdoing and enduring suffering for doing what is right. The latter, he says, is a gracious thing in the sight of God. And before responding in anger to someone who has wronged you, the honest question to ask is whether that anger is righteous indignation on behalf of others or self-vindication on behalf of yourself. The passage reaches its theological center in verses 22 through 25, where Peter describes what Christ actually accomplished. Jesus committed no sin. He was reviled and did not retaliate. He suffered and did not threaten. He entrusted Himself to the Father who judges justly. And He bore our sins in His body on the cross so that we might die to sin and live to righteousness. This is penal substitutionary atonement. His righteousness was credited to us. Our debt was nailed to the cross. That is the great exchange at the heart of the gospel. The passage closes with a picture of Jesus as the Good Shepherd who does not wait for wandering sheep to find their own way back. He goes after them, lays them on His shoulders, and carries them home with joy. Topics covered include Christian suffering, workplace faith, submitting to authority, enduring injustice, the example of Christ, penal substitutionary atonement, the Good Shepherd, grace in relationships, and living out the gospel daily. Keywords: 1 Peter 2:18-25, Christian suffering, unjust suffering, faith at work, submitting to authority, enduring injustice, penal substitutionary atonement, the Good Shepherd, gospel transformation, Colossians 3:23, workplace Christianity, daily Christian living, grace in relationships, Christ on the cross, Bible study, expository preaching, New Testament sermon

Wednesday - A Servant's Heart, pt. 3 by Emmanuel Baptist Church, San Jose, CA

Danil Chernyshev: Why Teams Always Adapt—And How Bad Rules Push Them Into Zombie Scrum Read the full Show Notes and search through the world's largest audio library on Agile and Scrum directly on the Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast website: http://bit.ly/SMTP_ShowNotes.   "Teams always adapt. You only get to decide what they adapt to." - Danil Chernyshev   Most dysfunction doesn't start with the team—it starts with the structure around them. Danil shares the story of a classic metrics-driven organization where Scrum Masters reported to a dedicated manager who measured their success by team velocity. That manager tracked retrospectives in a separate log, and would show up at the daily Scrum to confirm everyone answered the three questions. The result was predictable: the retrospective became a clock to survive, the daily became a checkbox with no real conversation, and velocity turned into theater—stories closed as "done," then reopened as "part two" in the next sprint. There was never a real done increment. Danil refuses to blame the team. They were doing exactly what teams always do—adapting to survive the rules and boundaries handed to them. As he and Vasco explore, the only real choice a leader has is not whether a team adapts, but what they adapt to. Dictate bureaucracy, and they'll adapt to surviving it. That's how productive, enjoyable work quietly turns into zombie Scrum. Servant leadership exists precisely so someone helps the team adapt toward value—not toward compliance.   In this segment, we talk about User Story Mapping by Jeff Patton and Peter Economy, and you can hear Jeff Patton on the podcast.   Self-reflection Question: Look at a behavior on your team you find frustrating—what rule or structure might that team be adapting to in order to survive? Featured Book of the Week: Actionable Agile Metrics for Predictability by Daniel Vacanti Danil calls this book eye-opening. It changed how he thinks about metrics—not as a reporting tool for executives, but as something teams can use for themselves to understand what to do next and how to improve. As he puts it, "after that book, you will probably know that a lot of cumulative flow diagrams that you saw in your past, they doesn't work well, and need to be rebuilt." The book makes flow metrics serve the team first, while still giving leadership the transparency they need.

What does true greatness look like? In a world that tells us to climb higher, Jesus calls us to go lower. In this message from Mark 10:35–45, we discover that our identity isn't found in status, success, or recognition—but in belonging to Christ, who became the Servant of all. Because Jesus is Lord, we cheerfully serve Him by serving others. Welcome to Antioch Georgetown!

Next we turn our eyes toward Marvel reacting to the Wolverine Story Trailer revealed at SDCC 2026! Marvel's Wolverine PS5 trailer gives us a deeper look at Logan's past, his connection to Jean Grey and Team X, and his violent battles against Lady Deathstrike, Omega Red, The Hand, the Reavers and Bolivar Trask's Sentinels. We discuss the Weapon X imagery, Wolverine's adamantium skeleton, the darker and more graphic combat, and the game's mix of emotional storytelling, horror and brutal action. They also react to Jean Grey attempting to reach Logan, Lady Deathstrike preparing for battle, Omega Red's appearance and the possibility of Wolverine rejoining Team X. After that, Greg & John Give their reaction to Zach Cregger's full Resident Evil Official Trailer - bringing the survival horror of Raccoon City back to the big screen with Austin Abrams (Euphoria, Whalefall). They break down Austin Abrams' journey toward Raccoon City General, the abandoned farmhouse, the ominous phone call, the search for shotgun shells, the typewriter save reference, and the game-inspired use of fixed camera angles and over-the-shoulder shots. And finally we react to the first trailer for Ebenezer: A Christmas Carol, the new Paramount Pictures film from Ti West, director of X, Pearl, MaXXXine, and The House of the Devil. Johnny Depp stars as Ebenezer Scrooge, returning to a major Hollywood leading role after performances in Pirates of the Caribbean, Edward Scissorhands, & more.

Romans begins as Scripture's clearest presentation of the gospel and reminds us that what we believe about God matters deeply because bad theology produces fear, legalism, and distorted views of God's character. Rather than teaching that God rewards self-reliance or that every hardship is punishment for sin, Romans points us to a gracious Father who calls helpless sinners to trust Him. Sound doctrine replaces shame with assurance and transforms religion from a performance into a relationship. Paul's own life proves the gospel's power. Once a persecutor of the church, he became a devoted servant of Christ, showing that no one is beyond God's redeeming grace. At the heart of Romans is the good news that Jesus, fully God and fully man, died and rose again to defeat sin and death, offering forgiveness, adoption into God's family, and new life through faith alone. As Romans unfolds, it reshapes our understanding of God and calls believers to live with joy, confidence, and wholehearted service.

What does it really mean to call Jesus the Greatest of All Time? We look at John 13 and the night Jesus knelt down to wash his disciples' feet, revealing a God who is powerful and humble, personal and present. We explore how the one true God is nothing like the distant, demanding gods people have chased throughout history, because He kneels down and reaches out to us in grace. Join us as we examine the "disordered loves" that quietly crowd God out of the center of our hearts, and to rediscover what it looks like to simply depend on Him. Whether you have followed Jesus for decades or are still exploring who God is, this message is an invitation to remember just how great our God really is. Speaker: Kimberly MacNeill
