What if our well-intentioned efforts to promote mental health inadvertently perpetuate systems that cause mental unwellness? What if the resilience we encourage only equips individuals to endure rather than challenge structures detrimental to their well-being? Why do mental health experiences vary so drastically across cultures, with Western societies seemingly posing the greatest challenges for certain conditions? Against the backdrop of escalating ecological dramas that devastate our world and its climate, do we ever wonder what ecological suffering might imply for our mental health? With this poignant, impassioned book Seeking Sanctuary, Finding Shalom, John Swinton invites us to begin exploring avenues toward addressing these daunting and interrelated issues. John Swinton is a consulting faculty member at Duke Divinity and professor in practical theology and pastoral care and chair in divinity and religious studies at the University of Aberdeen in Scotland. For more than a decade he worked as a registered mental health nurse. He also worked for a number of years as a hospital and community mental health chaplain alongside of people with severe mental health challenges who were moving from the hospital into the community. In 2004, he founded the University of Aberdeen's Centre for Spirituality, Health, and Disability. He has published widely within the area of mental health, dementia, disability theology, spirituality and healthcare, end-of-life care, qualitative research, and pastoral care. Swinton is the author of a number of monographs including a previous book, Finding Jesus in the Storm: The Spiritual Lives of People With Mental Health Challenges (Eerdmans 2020), which won the Aldersgate book price for interdisciplinary theological research, and his book Dementia: Living in the Memories of God, which won the Archbishop of Canterbury's Ramsey Prize for excellence in theological writing. Swinton is a fellow of the Royal Society of Edinburgh and was recently elected as a fellow of the British Academy.

Are you feeling defeated? The enemy we face is no different from the enemy Solomon faced! God is able to fight for us today!! Do we let Him or try to do in our own power?

Why did Solomon have so many wives? Was that God's plan? Was he obedient to God's direction? How do we apply this to our own lives? Can we have God's promises, and do as He had instructed, to live forever with Him?

Giving God the glory for what we have, that is the wisdom, do we use this wisdom? Do we live for God or for the riches of this world?

Franny Waisman's “Netivot Shalom” series, Choref 5786

What did it mean to bring the Ark into the Temple? How did He fill the Temple with His glory? The glory of the temple can fill you too, but we first have to lay down our lives to say, "Here I am Lord, send me!" And ask the Lord to take us to the next step. Listen as Rabbi Jeff Zaremsky shares the exciting truth of God's word!

Learning a new Torah from Likutei Moharan 39, Rebbe Nachman ben Faiga Simcha zya, inspires us to provide the powerful Avodah of self-control bringing Blessings of ✌️ peace with Enemies above & below etc...Cover

Isaiah 9:1-7⁠ Jesus is the prince of peace, the prince of shalom. Shalom is more than just an absence of conflict. It is everything being made complete and right. In our world, we can be very aware of the darkness. The news is often filled with it. And we have darkness closer to home; in our family relationships as well as in our own personal lives, too. Jesus has come to dispel all darkness and bring an end to all conflict. But He can only do as much as we let Him have access to in our lives. The more we're able to let our old selves die, and resurrect with Him, the more peace rules our lives and enables us to bring Jesus' shalom to a world in need. By Ed Flint

Vayiqra 3 — The Law of Peace: When Fellowship Becomes FireTeacher: Kerry Battle | Ahava~Love AssemblyThe shalam offering of Leviticus 3 is the peace offering — not for sin, but for communion. This is where fellowship becomes flame — where the altar becomes the table, and the table becomes the meeting place between Yahuah and His people.This teaching unveils nine gates of divine order, revealing how true peace flows only through purity, obedience, and covenant alignment.Chapters / Timestamps:0:00 – Introduction — The Order of Fellowship2:48 – Gate 1: Peace Is the Fruit of Order6:10 – Gate 2: Fellowship Begins with Fire10:05 – Gate 3: The Portion of the Priest13:30 – Gate 4: The Fat Belongs to Yahuah17:00 – Gate 5: Peace Has Boundaries20:20 – Gate 6: Peace Requires Purity24:00 – Gate 7: Peace Without Obedience = False Fire28:15 – Gate 8: Fruit of the Ruach — Contentment32:40 – Gate 9: Final Heart Check & Prophetic Bridge

What does it mean to be in God's Army? Are we prepared to be obedient to the gospel, loyal to Messiah even when it costs us? Keren Tarr shares from the good news from God's promises to show us what He wants to do for us with His Angels and His promises!

https://youtu.be/f4AzxgarUrcPart 2 of our Fall Feasts prophecy series continues with the most powerful revelation yet:The pattern of the Spring and Fall Feasts reveals the entire prophetic timeline — from Messiah's first coming to His return at the final harvest.We'll examine the parable of the Wheat and Tares (Matthew 13), the resurrection in 1 Corinthians 15, and the final harvest in Revelation 14 to show how Yahusha was planted during Passover and Unleavened Bread, and why the harvest of His people happens in the Fall Feasts — Trumpets, Atonement, and Tabernacles.

https://youtu.be/A37KsYb8OewMany have claimed the rapture would happen on the Feast of Trumpets — and every date has failed. But Scripture gives us something far better than speculation: a prophetic pattern.In this study, we'll uncover how the Fall Feasts — Trumpets, Atonement, and Tabernacles — reveal the season of the Second Coming, just as the Spring Feasts foretold Yahusha's first coming.We'll connect Matthew 24, the Parable of the Wheat and Tares (Matthew 13), and Revelation 14's Final Harvest, showing how Yahusha was “planted” during the Spring Feasts and returns during the harvest season in the Fall.No, we do not know the day or the hour — but Scripture tells us we can know the season.Join us as we test this Biblically and expose false date-setters once and for all.

What if the best leadership isn't about having the answers, but about asking the questions that draw out wisdom, connection, and creativity from those around us? What if the most transformational moments in ministry happen not when we speak—but when we invite others to share, reflect, and dream with us?In this episode, J.R. Briggs, author of The Art of Asking Better Questions discusses how asking great questions can open new possibilities for ministry leaders and lead to healthier, more effective leadership—for ourselves and our churches.THIS EPISODE'S HIGHLIGHTS INCLUDE:JR Briggs describes how questions neurologically "hijack" our brains, engaging us much more deeply than simple information does.Questions foster both clarity and engagement, enabling deeper connection and creativity between people.JR Briggs identifies several cultural obstacles to asking questions, including conversational narcissism, a lack of curiosity, and the fear of awkwardness.Healthy questions play a crucial role in building connection and trust, especially in an age marked by loneliness.JR Briggs attributes his passion for asking questions to observing his father's genuine curiosity and care for others.The quality of your life depends on the quality of questions you ask yourself, God, and others.Deliberate practice, such as collecting good questions and “gaming” conversations, strengthens one's ability to ask better questions.JR Briggs outlines four levels of questions: information, interaction, understanding, and transformation, each deepening relational impact.JR Briggs encourages leaders to move beyond transactional questions and pursue transformational conversations grounded in trust.Curiosity, wisdom, humility, and courage are essential virtues for asking effective questions.Markus Watson notes that leading with questions, rather than only answers, builds stronger relationships and trust as a pastor.Great leaders amplify others and cultivate deep curiosity, according to JR Briggs's research and coaching experience.Questions create space for spiritual direction, hospitality, and genuine pastoral care within ministries.Slowing down and asking questions in tense moments, instead of having knee-jerk reactions, can lead to greater understanding and connection.Jesus used questions extensively—over 300 in the New Testament—to provoke thought, deepen engagement, and transform lives.RELEVANT RESOURCES AND LINKS:Kairos PartnershipsBooks mentioned:The Art of Asking Better Questions, by J.R.

Rabbi Yonasan Schwartz on let's Get Real with Coach menachemSunday October 26, 2025 # 247Shidduch to Shalom Bayis: Finding the Right One, Understanding Hashem's Plan, and Trusting Yourself Through Life's Challenges

Solmon was greatly beloved by God, with humility in his life in the beginning. the blessings will follow as we submit to God. He made his encounter with God a part of everyone's rejoicing! He was given wisdom, because he asked for it, and God hears our prayers too!

What's so special about the 7th day of the week (Sunday)?  Or is it the 1st day of the week (Sunday?)  How do you see it? In Scripture, God sees the 7th day as an unbelievable day of joy, rest, play, and beauty!  The Sabbath Day is closely associated with another Hebrew work 'SHALOM.'

With God, world peace is not only possible, it is already happening. The peace or "shalom" Jesus offers is to bring us to complete wholeness and to extend that peace to those around us.

This week's Shalom Adventure dives deep into the heart of Psalm 42, a powerful and intensely personal song of yearning and distress. Have you ever felt such an overwhelming thirst for God's presence that it felt like your very life was ebbing away? Cantor Keren Tarr masterfully dissects this Psalm, revealing the profound depth of the Psalmist's struggle, which he cries out to Elohim, the judging ruler and the living Godhead. This isn't just about a moment of sadness; it's a raw, sustained cry for the Divine power to intervene against the mockings of enemies who continually ask, ""Where is your God?"" This is what it sounds like to pour out your entire soul to the Ruler of the universe, aching so intensely you can't even eat. Learn why this emotional outpouring is an essential key to spiritual survival and how David, in his deepest despair, chooses to remind his soul to Hope in God by remembering past victories and the joyful fellowship of the pilgrim feasts like Sukkot (Feast of Tabernacles). Discover the powerful Messianic connection between the Psalmist's suffering and that of Yeshua, who also faced taunts and loneliness, yet commanded loving kindness into his darkest night. This is how you can transform your own tears into a song of praise, moving from the breaking of your bones to declaring, ""I shall yet praise him,"" trusting in the salvation and the perpetual presence of Yeshua as your help, health, and God.

This sermon is a brief review of the main themes of the letters to the Thessalonians, and admonition to not grow weary in well doing, and a pray that the Lord of peace personally give us peace in al times and in every way. We explore how to not grow weary and the way God gives us perfect peace.

Join Rolf Jacobson, Kathryn Schifferdecker, and Craig Koester as they explore Jeremiah 29:1, 4-14 for Christ the King Sunday (November 23, 2025). This powerful episode examines Jeremiah's shocking letter to the Babylonian exiles, where God calls His people not to resist, but to settle down, build homes, and seek the welfare of the very city that conquered them. The hosts unpack the jarring nature of Jeremiah's message—marry, have children, pray for Babylon—in contrast to the rage expressed in Psalm 137. They explore how this ancient text speaks to anyone finding themselves in an unexpected place or life circumstance, offering hope through one of Scripture's most famous promises: "For surely I know the plans I have for you, says the Lord, plans for your welfare and not for harm, to give you a future with hope" (Jeremiah 29:11). This episode offers fresh perspective on exile, hope, and what it means to live faithfully in a mixed society while maintaining covenant relationship with God. Perfect preparation for Advent's themes of hope and waiting.

On October 20th, 2025, Arthur Waskow – a revolutionary activist and teacher of Torah – died at the age of 92. He was an inspiration to our work at Judaism Unbound in more ways than we can articulate. Even as our organization was launched when he was already in his 80s, he found so many ways to collaborate with us and offer his unique forms of Torah to our audiences. He presented at 5 consecutive ShavuotLIVE gatherings, frequently moving attendees to tears, welcomed Judaism Unbound as a partner for many of his programs with The Shalom Center, and was twice a guest on this podcast.For those who would feel moved to hear from Arthur's voice shortly after his passing, we wanted to re-release those two appearances of his on Judaism Unbound. The first is Episode 166, entitled The Freedom Seder, and the second is a bonus episode called Confronting Carbon Pharaohs.Well into his 90s, Arthur Waskow was committed in mind, spirit, and body to the betterment of our world. He reminded us, over and over, that the word Adamah – meaning earth or soil – and the word Adam – meaning earthling, are intertwined, meaning all of us as earthlings are inherently connected to the planet, earth, that we live on. May his memory be for a blessing and a revolution. ----------------------------------Donations in honor of Arthur Waskow's life and legacy can be directed to The Shalom Center -- an organization he founded -- via this link.

Series: RootedWeek: 7 – ShalomScripture: Luke 10:25–37; Jeremiah 29:4–7; Titus 3:4–5; Micah 6:8Big Idea:God calls His people to embody mercy personally and shalom collectively—bringing His peace, justice, and renewal to the world. But we can't extend true mercy or live in true shalom until we've first received it from Christ.I. The Question of JustificationThe expert in the law asks, “What must I do to inherit eternal life?” (Luke 10:25)His question isn't about love—it's about justifying himself.Like him, we all seek to prove our worth: through comparison, religion, or performance.But we can't meet the standard or change the rules. We fall short.II. Jesus Flips the StoryThe parable of the Good Samaritan isn't about moral improvement—it's about mercy received.We are not the Good Samaritan; we're the traveler, beaten and broken by sin.Religion (the priest) and morality (the Levite) can't save us.But the despised One—Jesus—comes near, binds our wounds, pays our debt, and restores us.Only when we've received mercy can we truly extend mercy.III. Mercy Leads to ShalomMercy (Hebrew: hesed) isn't just withholding punishment—it's love that moves toward brokenness.Mercy acts; it steps toward pain, binds wounds, and restores what's broken.When mercy is extended, shalom begins—wholeness, harmony, everything in its right place.Micah 6:8 calls us to act justly, love mercy, and walk humbly.IV. God's Mission is ShalomIn Jeremiah 29, God tells exiles to seek the peace and prosperity (shalom) of their city.Shalom is more than peace—it's renewal and restoration.God's mission isn't to rescue people from the world but to renew the world through His people.Every act of mercy and service becomes a declaration of the gospel.V. Shalom is Our CallingWe too are exiles (1 Peter 2:11). Our calling isn't escape—it's engagement.To be a peacemaker is to bring heaven's peace into earth's chaos (Matthew 5:9).Every time we forgive, serve, build, or pray—we participate in God's justice.“Seek the peace and prosperity of the city… for if it prospers, you too will prosper.” (Jeremiah 29:7)But we can't give what we haven't received.The true Good Samaritan—Jesus—restored us first so that we can restore others.

Moses faced many choices, but he still had to surrender to God, to not do so cost him walking in the promised land. BUT God still walked with him and never forsook him! Is God calling you to a new chapter? To pass your torch to another? Listen a s Rabbi Jeff Zaremsky opens the Last Words of Moses!

2025 is the Year of Shalom at The Journey. Shalom means peace in Hebrew, but it's a sentiment that's stronger than we realize. Only God's peace enables us to endure all of life's trials and tribulations, so if you want to learn how to practice this peace, join us for this week's message!

I greet you in Jesus' precious name! It is Sunday morning, the 19th of October, 2025, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for today. “Many are the afflictions of the righteous, But the Lord delivers him out of them all.”Psalm 34:19 Then we go to Romans 5:3-4: “And not only that, (this is Paul speaking) but we also glory in tribulations, knowing that tribulation produces perseverance; and perseverance, character; and character, hope.”I have never met a man or a woman, worth their salt, who has not been through a fiery trial. The Lord never promised you or me a bed or roses when we gave our lives to Him. No, He never promised us that He would take us out of the fire. When you and I gave our lives to the Lord, we gave our lives to the Lord unconditionally. He said, “I won't take you out of the fire but I will walk with you through the fire.” You remember the three men of God, Meshach, Shadrack and Abednego in the Old Testament who were thrown into that fiery furnace because of their stand for Jesus? Well, the leader came and looked in the fiery furnace. They said to each other, “there are four men in those flames. We only put three in!” Yes, the fourth one was who else? No-one but the Master Himself, Jesus Christ!The symbol of the Christian faith is a cross, and what does a cross represent? Well, it represents death, it represents pain, but it also represents resurrection and everlasting life. I want to encourage you today if you are going through a hard time, that the Lord is walking with you. Do not be afraid. Many, many years ago there was a convoy of pickups that came driving through our entrance to the farm, Shalom. It was a group of young guys who were coming in with Nick Vujicic, the Australian, the young man who was born with no arms and no legs. He was an amazing man. He touched me deeply. He was a man who was full of grace and favour of God. He really impacted my life. He brought one of his books for me and he said, “Angus, would you like me to sign it for you?” And I looked at him, I thought he was joking. I said, “Yes please, I would love that Nick,” and they put a pen in between his teeth and he signed his name, and by the way, his writing is better than I have ever seen mine. Today, look up because Jesus is walking through the fire with you.God bless you and goodbye.

Olivier J. Melnick is the founder and executive director of Shalom in Messiah Ministries. He is the son of holocaust survivors, and author of, Antisemitism in the End Times: How the Rise of the World's Oldest Hatred is Paving the Way for Messiah's Return.   In this exclusive Schilling Show Unleashed Podcast interview, Melnick discusses the modern rise of antisemitism, parallels to 1930s Germany, and God's enduring covenant with the Jewish people.

The story of Jesus doesn't begin in Bethlehem - it begins in Genesis. Rabbi Jason Sobel joins us to explore how the whole Bible, from creation to new creation, points to one Messiah and one redemptive plan. His new book, Transformed by the Messiah, invites readers to rediscover the power of Scripture as one seamless narrative rather than two disconnected halves. In this episode, we trace how the Hebrew Scriptures set the stage for the Gospel: Joseph's betrayal and restoration, the feasts that frame the Kingdom, and the prophetic rhythms that pulse beneath every New Testament page. Jason shows how the Messiah fulfills - not replaces - Israel's story, inviting both Jew and Gentile into God's covenant promises. We also talk about how this restored vision transforms how we live - rooted in God's faithfulness, connected to His appointed times, and awakened to a Messiah who holds all of Scripture together. The goal isn't to add something new but to recover what's been there all along: the unity, beauty, and coherence of God's Word from beginning to end. Key Takeaways The Bible tells one continuous story of redemption, not two separate Testaments. Transformed by the Messiah helps readers see how every part of Scripture points to Yeshua. The Old Testament provides the framework; the New Testament reveals the fulfillment. Joseph's life foreshadows Messiah's rejection, suffering, and ultimate reconciliation.

As ministry leaders, we often imagine that building trust is the ultimate goal—once we have it, the road to transformation should be clear. But what happens when trust alone isn't enough? The truth is, trust is only the starting point. Moving beyond it requires us to invest our trust in ways that actually make change possible, even when it means taking risks and facing loss together.In this episode, Tod Bolsinger, author of Invest in Transformation: Quit Relying on Trust, shares why trust is essential but insufficient for transformative leadership, how we can begin to discern our congregation's unique calling, and what it takes to wisely invest trust as we guide people through the challenges of adaptive change.THIS EPISODE'S HIGHLIGHTS INCLUDE:Tod Bolsinger asserts that there is no transformation without trust.Leadership requires energizing a community toward its own transformation for the sake of a shared mission.People will not trust a leader to guide them through difficult change if they don't trust them with current, familiar responsibilities.Leaders build trust through both trustworthy character and technical competence.Relational congruence means consistently showing up as the same person in all relationships, reinforcing trust.Even leaders of good character need to be experienced by others as trustworthy in daily interactions.Technical competence in areas such as scripture, soul care, and organizational skills is non-negotiable for pastoral leaders.Trust is the bank account that leaders must invest (and spend) when leading adaptive or transformational change.When transformation is pursued, trust levels may decrease as change creates uncertainty and resistance.Tod Bolsinger notes that maintaining trust means not squandering it on trivial matters, but instead strategically investing it in real transformation.The process of transformation begins with clarifying a congregation's unique charism—its distinctive gift to the broader community.Charism emerges from actual values and stories, not from aspirational wish lists or debates about what a church “should” be.Discerning a congregation's charism requires telling stories about the times they were most proud of the church.Identifying a congregation's charism is followed by asking how it can address the pain points of the community, thus connecting internal giftedness with external needs.Transformation always involves loss, and truly adaptive change means some may leave, but new vibrancy and alignment with mission can develop as a result.RELEVANT RESOURCES AND LINKS:Church Leadership InstituteBooks mentioned:Invest in Transformation: Quit Relying on Trust, by Tod BolsingerRelated episodes:230.
