He guides me along the right paths. . . . — Psalm 23:3 The shepherd's main goal for his sheep is soul care. Our souls suffer when we are running quickly and taking life at a pace that is unsustainable. When we try to chart our own course, we often misjudge the best way forward because we are either impatient for good things to happen or scared that they won't. The psalm writer trusts that the shepherd is guiding him along the right paths and that these paths will lead to flourishing. In some Bible versions these are called paths of righteousness, and that means these pathways honor the shepherd. The way of the shepherd is noble, pure, and ethical, reflecting the very character with which he leads the sheep. Following the right pathways is the best way for the sheep to go because that helps others find and walk in the way of the Lord as well. I can picture the psalm writer reflecting on God's law, summarized in the Ten Commandments, as the best way to live because it leads to flourishing, full life with God. Loving God and our neighbor is the best way to live, creating shalom (peace) with God and his creation, including all of his creatures. Obeying the Lord, honoring our parents and loved ones, and caring for others and their well-being—all these things lead to living God's way and bringing peace. Where are you being led today? Lord, help us to see that empty promises for a better life do not come from you. Redirect us to your path, which leads to life with you. Amen.

Bible Reading: Psalm 23; John 10:1-12, 27-28Evening descended swiftly on the French Alps. Chloe snuggled closer to her dad as the two of them and her dad's friend Jules huddled around a fire for warmth. "Another good thing about being a sheep is all that wool to keep you warm," Chloe said. Jules nodded. "It's almost time to put them in their pen for the night. If I wait until it gets too dark, the wolves come out." Chloe's eyes widened. "Have you ever had to fight a wolf, Uncle Jules?" He nodded solemnly. "Fortunately, I was able to save the lamb. The sheep know they are safe when they stay close to me, just like we are safe with Jesus, our shepherd.""That doesn't mean bad things won't happen to us," Dad interjected. "Everyone goes through darkness and tough times. But our Good Shepherd promises to be with us through every dark valley we encounter." "So we don't need to fear, just like David wrote in Psalm Twenty-Three," Chloe said softly. "Uncle Jules, what about the verse where David talks about God anointing his head with oil? What does that have to do with sheep?" Jules grinned. "Do you think Chloe can handle this, John?" "It's kind of gross, Chloe," Dad warned. "I can handle it!" "We have different medicine now, but back in David's day, shepherds used to pour oil over the sheep's heads to protect them from bugs," said Jules. "That's not so gross--kind of like giving pets flea medicine." "But these kinds of bugs would eventually make their way into the sheep's brains and destroy them." "Ewww!" Chloe shuddered. "Good thing they have a shepherd to protect every part of them--even their brains.""God does the same thing for us," Jules noted. "When we listen to the truth of His Word, it transforms and renews our minds and helps keep us from fixating on what might harm us. Instead of worry, we can feel His peace. That's why reading and memorizing God's Word is important." Chloe gazed at the sheep thoughtfully. "Uncle Jules, I've learned a lot this week. One thing's for sure--I'm going to listen to my Good Shepherd."–Savannah ColemanHow About You?Do you follow Jesus as your shepherd?

Let's break down the chilling timeline of May 9 and 10, 2020, the final days before Suzanne vanished from her Colorado home. From her last known text to the eerie silence of her phone, and the suspicious activity surrounding her husband Barry Morphew, we peel back the layers of this haunting case. How did digital forensics, behavioral red flags, and vehicle telematics create a timeline that prosecutors say points to premeditated murder—and why Barry Morphew's phone data may be the most damning evidence of all.#BarryMorphew #SuzanneMorphew #MorphewCase #TrueCrime #Extradition #ProfilingEvil #ColoradoCrime #ArizonaArrest #MissingPersons #ColdCase #JusticeForSuzanne #Macy #Mallory #ChaffeeCounty #CriminalInvestigation #LegalBreakdown #TrueCrimeYouTube #CriminalProcedure #FugitiveJustice #MurderCase #CourtroomDrama #TrueCrimeCommunity #WolvesInSheepsClothing=======================================Order Wolves in Sheep's Clothing now! https://www.profilingevil.com/wolvesOrder Deceived, An Investigative Memoir of the Zion Society Cult.

He refreshes my soul. — Psalm 23:3 There is good profit for the shepherd who takes good care of his sheep. Good care means it is less likely for the sheep to suffer disease or exhaustion. Good care means the sheep will more likely fetch a good price at the market. But that is not the motivation of the Lord our shepherd. The care of our shepherd is driven by love and mercy and the desire for abundant flourishing. The psalm writer tells us that the Lord refreshes his soul. The kind of care that the psalmist receives as he follows the one who loves him deeply reaches the depths of his soul. It is the kind of care that reminds him that he belongs to the shepherd. The psalmist knows he is beloved, cherished, and precious. Our culture tends to commodify people, and that is anxiety producing, often leaving us to wonder about ulterior motives. Social media, for example, often encourages us to present false or aspirational impressions of ourselves so that we will be liked. The Lord's beloved, however, are secure in the knowledge that they are dearly loved just as they are. They are confident in the knowledge that they belong to the Lord and have purpose and hope because they are his and no other's. In what ways does God's loving care for you refresh your soul? Lord, slow us down so that we may take time to meditate on your goodness. We thank you that our souls can be refreshed by spending time in your presence. Amen.

Bible Reading: Psalm 23; Isaiah 53:4-7Chloe gasped as the car rounded the mountain road and the French Alps were fully displayed. "I've never seen anything so majestic!" Dad parked the car next to a rustic cabin. The cabin door opened and a man with dark curly hair and a beard exited with arms outstretched. "John! Come and hug your old friend!" Chloe hung back, watching the happy reunion until the men turned to her. "Chloe, meet my old college friend, Jules! The last time we got together you were just a baby." "You can call me Uncle Jules if you wish, Chloe. My, you are growing up quickly!" "Do we really get to stay a whole week and help you care for your sheep? Dad says you have over a thousand! I read that shepherding is a difficult job. What's your favorite part about it?" Jules threw up his hands and laughed. "Whoa! I'm not used to all these questions. The sheep aren't nearly as chatty." Jules winked at Chloe. "I'm happy to tell you all about it over a nice cup of coffee."The next morning, Chloe was bundled and ready for a day of shepherding. After a few hours, she collapsed on the ground dramatically. "How do you not get bored, Uncle Jules?"Jules chuckled. "It takes a certain type of personality to do this day after day, but I actually enjoy all this stillness. I have plenty of time to memorize God's Word out here and reflect on His goodness." "Kind of like David did," said Chloe. "He was a shepherd too. Didn't he write that famous psalm about sheep?" Jules nodded. "Psalm Twenty-Three.""David compares us to sheep in the psalm," Dad pointed out. "And the Lord is our shepherd. When we had wandered away and were lost in sin, Jesus gave His life to save us, and He promises to guide us and take care of us." Jules pulled a small, worn Bible out of his coat pocket and opened it to Psalm 23. Chloe read it aloud through verse three. "Today we are living out this psalm!" she said. "This morning you put salt out so the sheep could follow the route you wanted them to take. Just like you lead them on safe terrain, God guides us on the right paths." –Savannah ColemanHow About You?Have you ever thought about how much we are like sheep? Just like sheep, we want to go our own way and are prone to getting lost. We need a shepherd to keep us on the right path, and that shepherd is Jesus. He took the punishment for our sins to make us His sheep, and He guides us and provides for us. When we spend time in His presence, He refreshes our souls. How will you choose to follow the Good Shepherd today?Today's Key Verse:He refreshes my soul. He guides me along the right paths for his name's sake. (NIV) (Psalm 23:3)Today's Key Thought:Jesus is our Good Shepherd

Pastor Jesus Arriaga reads Psalm 100, inviting us to shout joyfully, serve with gladness, and enter God's presence with thanksgiving as we celebrate His enduring mercy and faithfulness. He then leads a heartfelt prayer asking the Lord to continue guiding each listener in power and grace.

Expository teaching on John 6:59-71; lean in with me!https://www.ross-steele.com

Matthew 25:31-46. In this parable, Jesus describes a final separation between sheep and goats that hinges on one thing: how we loved the “least of these.” This message explores how our treatment of others reveals what we truly believe about Jesus, and challenges us to see our good works not as the root of salvation but as its fruit. Listen in as we unpack what it means to love others the way Christ has loved us, how real faith transforms us into people of compassion, and why now is the time to live for Him—by helping others, meeting needs, and sharing the good news of Jesus.For upcoming events and important announcements at Skyline, visit our Facebook page for the latest details!If you'd like to check out more resources, get to know Skyline Church, or donate to our ministry and missions please visit www.skylineofallon.com.

My friend Drew Locke is a seventh-generation farmer in Truro.

He leads me beside quiet waters. — Psalm 23:2 Water bottles are everywhere these days. Most of us know that our bodies need water and that dehydration can have devastating consequences. A good shepherd knows that the dry air and relentless sun in a desert climate can dry out and weaken sheep quickly. And where might the shepherd find a good source of water for his sheep? Well, it's important to know that sheep cannot drink from a fast-flowing stream. They can lose their footing and drown in too forceful a flow. A good shepherd will take his staff and make a hollow in the ground next to the stream where the water can pool and be safe for the sheep to drink from. There are many times when life moves so fast that it can feel like we are drinking from a firehose. Many of life's experiences can be very good, but there are times when even the good things can be overwhelming. The shepherd not only sets a sustainable pace for us but also helps us to slow down so that we can take in all the good that is going on around us, making it more manageable. The Lord my shepherd provides me with two times of quiet waters each day. Every morning and evening I have a quiet time. Where might the shepherd be inviting you to rest and reflect beside still waters that will refresh your soul? Good Shepherd, we live in a busy, noisy world. Lead us to quiet places where we can be revived by your presence in our lives. Amen.

A mysterious death on an island off the coast of Scotland

He makes me lie down in green pastures. . . . — Psalm 23:2 It is a busy season as I write this short devotional message. My list of responsibilities has increased lately, and I have less open time than I would like. Sheep have a difficult time pacing themselves as well. They need a guide who can provide them with a life-giving cadence. The psalm writer found that with the Lord as his shepherd, he was not driven but made to stop and rest. Rest is a part of the Lord's kingdom rhythm. All who are within God's care are invited to work diligently for six days and then rest in him on the seventh because that is the best way to live. While resting, we sheep are encouraged to trust that whatever tasks we haven't accomplished or plans we haven't completed will be covered by the one who promises that we will lack nothing. Resting is one of those invitations that is also a command. Rest! Stopping our labor is a concrete way of showing that we trust the shepherd to make good on his promises to care for us. This is not easy in today's work-driven culture, so the testimony of a rested sheep can actually be quite powerful. Where in your life might you be invited to slow down? Good Shepherd, help us to rest in you, trusting that you have us in the palm of your loving hand. Thank you for giving us this confidence. Amen.

Text: Ephesians 2:1-10Jeff CollinsRecorded live at Bethany Bible Church on: 7/6/25Bethany Radio is a production of Bethany Bible Church in LeRoy, MN.More content and info is available on our website: bethanybibleleroy.com 2025 — Bethany Radio

Last week Brian and Louise Hogan, trainers to church planters and former missionaries to Mongolia, shared about their efforts to plant a church in Mongolia—and the high cost they paid for serving there when their infant son died. This week, listen as they unwrap some of the principles they learned in that process, lessons they are now teaching to pastors and church leaders around the world, including hostile areas and restricted nations where VOM works. Brian, the author of There's a Sheep in My Bathtub and An A-Z of Near-Death Adventures, says that many in Western churches want to “buy a box” and follow a checklist for church planting, skipping the difficult process of seeking the Holy Spirit's wisdom and guidance. He challenges church planters to empty themselves of their own culture and learn the people and culture of where they are church planting, while always keeping in step with the New Testament. “If we don't see it in the New Testament,” Brian says, “then we're not going to institute it on the nations.” Brian and Louise also share how generous and missions-minded the church in Mongolia is. They ask, “What can we do to obey Jesus?” As Brian & Louise train Mongolian missionaries to go out to the nations, these radical church planters know that the core of missions is the church. They are not willing that anyone should be unreached. A nation that once sent out violent conquerors is now sending missionaries committed to conquering hearts with the Prince of Peace. Please pray for Mongolian Christians, and for church planters throughout the world as they work and sacrifice to bring every tribe, tongue, and nation into fellowship with Christ. Listen also for a special testimony from a former prisoner for Christ in Uzbekistan, Dmitry “David” Shestakov. Hear the difference it made when Christians around the world wrote letters to him in prison, then go and write letters to Christians in prison right now at PrisonerAlert.com. You can also hear Shestakov share his story in this episode of VOM Radio. The VOM App for your smartphone or tablet will help you pray daily for persecuted Christians throughout the year, as well as providing free access to e-books, audiobooks, video content and feature films.

I have learned the secret of being content in . . . every situation . . . whether living in plenty or in want. I can do all this through him who gives me strength. — Philippians 4:12-13 The apostle Paul was someone who followed the Lord as his shepherd through dark valleys of persecution and danger as well as to heights of church growth as new followers of Jesus became part of the Lord's flock. Paul wrote this declaration of trust and contentment in a letter to Christian friends while he was in prison. He recognized the Lord's presence and provision through the gifts of other believers who supported him and shared in his troubles. Paul found that he could rejoice. He could give thanks. He could be content because he was not alone in his suffering. He experienced the pursuing grace and mercy of God through the support of other Jesus-followers. When he received news of God's continued work, that fed his soul. In his posture of gratitude Paul was bolstered by recounting God's continued goodness and mercy to him. And that led to contentment. Paul was assured that the shepherd who always led and guided him would continue to do so. Paul's testimony reminds us that the words of Psalm 23 are more than a beautiful word picture. They are a bold witness to the shepherd who supplies what we need when we need it most—and in ways that may be confusing to people who do not yet follow him. How has the Lord your shepherd surprised you with his provision and care lately? Lord, may we too learn to be content in any situation, that we may testify to your gracious care for us. Amen.

In this powerful episode, we'll break down the bombshell change-of-plea hearing in State of Idaho vs. Bryan Kohberger—the man accused of murdering four University of Idaho students in a crime that rocked the quiet town of Moscow, Idaho. From the moment Judge John Judge scolded members of the true crime community for interfering with the justice process, to Bryan Kohberger's chilling and calculated confession to the brutal murders of Madison Mogen, Kaylee Goncalves, Xana Kernodle, and Ethan Chapin, this case continues to reveal new behavioral and legal dimensions.

On any given day, you could pick 20 American movies that would show a different cross section of the complex contradictory conflicting aspects of the American character. Today, Secret Movie Club founder.programmer Craig Hammill picks 20 including 1928's King Vidor directed The Crowd, the biting 50's satire Ace in the Hole, 70's masterworks like Husbands, Girlfriends, Nashville, Killer of Sheep, Black Caesar, and more recent works that wrestle with American identity like He Got Game, Better Luck Tomorrow, Nomadland, and Killers of the Flower Moon (+many more). On this 4th of July, Secret Movie Club tries to aid the American experiment by taking a look at how our national character has expressed itself in our cinema.

. . . I lack nothing. — Psalm 23:1 This is a bold statement for the psalm writer to make: “I lack nothing.” Is this a statement that you can make too? This psalm is attributed to King David, so we might think, “It's easy for a king to say that he lacks nothing!” (David's story is found in 1 Samuel 16 – 1 Kings 2.) David wasn't born into royalty, and he sometimes experienced a great deal of want and danger. He was also well acquainted with sheep because he was a shepherd when he was young. He even understood wandering firsthand because at times he had to be drawn back from paths that would lead to misery. David is not writing here about having enough stuff. He is testifying to how deeply he trusts the Lord to guide him onto the right paths and to provide for him along the way. I imagine David recalling times when he was in danger and how God provided him with friends, allies, and spiritual care when he needed these things most. This was true when David's life was in danger. It was also true when his very soul was in peril because he stole another man's wife (2 Samuel 11-12). David declares that the Lord his shepherd is worthy of his trust, and he does this with boldness because the Lord has never let him down. In what ways has the shepherd provided for you in your journey with him? Thank you, Good Shepherd, for your constant, loving care. Grow in me a deepening sense of trust in your provision. Amen.

The word of the Lord came to me: 2 “Son of man, prophesy against the shepherds of Israel; prophesy and say to them: ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says: Woe to you shepherds of Israel who only take care of yourselves! Should not shepherds take care of the flock? 3 You eat the curds, clothe yourselves with the wool and slaughter the choice animals, but you do not take care of the flock. 4 You have not strengthened the weak or healed the sick or bound up the injured. You have not brought back the strays or searched for the lost. You have ruled them harshly and brutally. 5 So they were scattered because there was no shepherd, and when they were scattered they became food for all the wild animals. 6 My sheep wandered over all the mountains and on every high hill. They were scattered over the whole earth, and no one searched or looked for them.Ezekiel 34:1-6Shepherd“Truly, truly, I say to you, he who does not enter the sheepfold by the door but climbs in by another way, that man is a thief and a robber. 2 But he who enters by the door is the shepherd of the sheep. 3 To him the gatekeeper opens. The sheep hear his voice, and he calls his own sheep by name and leads them out. 4 When he has brought out all his own, he goes before them, and the sheep follow him, for they know his voice. 5 A stranger they will not follow, but they will flee from him, for they do not know the voice of strangers.” 6 This figure of speech Jesus used with them, but they did not understand what he was saying to them.John 10:1-6Strangers, Sheep, and Shepherds“Truly, truly, I say to you, he who does not enter the sheepfold by the door but climbs in by another way, that man is a thief and a robber.John 10:1A shepherd in scriptures represents any spiritual leader who is called to lead, feed, and care for God's people.John 10 is Jesus' response to John 9 and the Man born Blind34 They answered him, “You were born in utter sin, and would you teach us?” And they cast him out.John 9:34The word of the Lord came to me: 2 “Son of man, prophesy against the shepherds of Israel; prophesy and say to them: ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says: Woe to you shepherds of Israel who only take care of yourselves! Should not shepherds take care of the flock? 4 You have not strengthened the weak or healed the sick or bound up the injured. You have not brought back the strays or searched for the lost. You have ruled them harshly and brutally.Ezekiel 34:1-2, 4A stranger is anyone who operates in spiritual authority over another person without going through Jesus, with Jesus, and like JesusThe man who makes much of Christ is a pastor after God's own heart, whom God delights to honor. The minister who makes little of Christ is the one whom God regards as an imposter—as one who has climbed up to his holy office not by the door, but by “some other way”J.C. RyleConfidence in a  stranger leads to REJECTION.34 They answered him, “You were born in utter sin, and would you teach us?” And they cast him out.John 9:34DO I EASILY FEEL REJECTED BY PEOPLE?He that enjoys the favor of the Son of God will not tremble at the frown of the Sanhedrim.Charles Spurgeon2 The one who enters by the gate is the shepherd of the sheep. 3 The gatekeeper opens the gate for him, and the sheep listen to his voice. He calls his own sheep by name and leads them out. 4 When he has brought out all his own, he goes on ahead of them, and his sheep follow him because they know his voice. 5 But they will never follow a stranger; in fact, they will run away from him because they do not recognize a stranger's voice.” John 10:2-5A sheep is anyone who belongs to Jesus, listens to Jesus, and follows JesusConfidence in a sheep leads to PRIDE18 Is it not enough for you to feed on the good pasture, that you must tread down with your feet the rest of your pasture; and to drink of clear water, that you must muddy the rest of the water with your feet? 19 And must my sheep eat what you have trodden with your feet, and drink what you have muddied with your feet?20 “Therefore, thus says the Lord God to them: Behold, I, I myself will judge between the fat sheep and the lean sheep. 21 Because you push with side and shoulder, and thrust at all the weak with your horns, till you have scattered them abroad, 22 I will rescue[b] my flock; they shall no longer be a prey. And I will judge between sheep and sheep.Ezekiel 34:18-22A true shepherd is anyone who feeds, leads, and cares for the sheepConfidence in Jesus leads to WORSHIP· Jesus is a man (John 9:11).· Jesus is a prophet (John 9:17).· Jesus is my master, I am His disciple (John 9:27).· Jesus is from God (John 9:33).· Jesus is the Son of God (John 9:35-38).· Jesus is who I trust (John 9:38).· Jesus is who I worship (John 9:38).24 So for the second time they called the man who had been blind and said to him, “Give glory to God. We know that this man is a sinner.” John 9:2438 He said, “Lord, I believe,” and he worshiped him.John 9:38

The sheep's coat shall be stripped off the wolf's back! William Dyer, 1632-1696 Numbers 23:10, "Let me die the death of the righteous, and may my end be like theirs!" There is no living a life that is wicked, and then dying a death that is righteous. Oh, that men would but deal truly with their own souls! Many talk like a Christian, but few walk like a Christian. Many know what is to be done, but never do what is to be done. Many wear Christ's livery, but do the devil's drudgery! Many have hands as white as snow, whose hearts are as black as Hell! Many appear righteous, who are only righteous in their appearance. But such as deceive others with a false show of holiness, only deceive themselves with a false hope of happiness! Remember, sirs, that the sheep's coat shall be stripped off the wolf's back! "They come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves!" Matthew 7:15 Oh sirs, that you would consider well these weighty things! Tell me, sir: What did Judas get by all his deceitful dealings? Nothing but a noose, in which his body was hanged; and a fire, in which his soul was burned!

In a weird opening moment designed to showcase the comic range of the star, Stan argues with himself. The show starts with the sketch on musical sheep. Sheep that play…

Bryan Kohberger, the accused killer of four University of Idaho students, is expected to plead guilty, bypassing the death penalty and forever altering the pursuit of justice for Kaylee Goncalves, Madison Mogen, Xana Kernodle, and Ethan Chapin. In this deep dive, let's unpack the pros and cons of accepting a plea in a death penalty case, examine Idaho's victim rights laws, and question whether the families were fairly included in this life-altering decision. We'll think about questions like why are some victim families outraged while others appear to accept the plea and could could one dissenting voice have blown up the whole negotiation? Was justice served, or was it silenced?#BryanKohberger #IdahoMurders #KayleeGoncalves #MadisonMogen #XanaKernodle #EthanChapin #UniversityOfIdaho #MoscowIdaho #MoscowMurders #KohbergerPlea #TrueCrimeCommunity #JusticeForTheFour #ProfilingEvil #MikeKing #VinniePolitan #CourtTV #CrimeAndPunishment #DeathPenaltyDebate #VictimsRights #CriminalJusticeReform #HighProfileCase #TrueCrimeAnalysis #KohbergerTrial #KohbergerCase #SerialOffender #CrimeNews #CriminalProfiling #JusticeForKaylee #JusticeForMadison #JusticeForXana #JusticeForEthan #PleaDealControversy #LifeWithoutParole #NoDeathPenalty #BehindTheCrime #EvilHasAPattern #WolvesInSheepsClothing #IdahoLaw #CapitalPunishment #JusticeSystem #TrueCrimePodcast #TrueCrimeMedia #CriminalBehavior #VictimImpact=======================================Order Wolves in Sheep's Clothing now! https://www.profilingevil.com/wolvesOrder Deceived, An Investigative Memoir of the Zion Society Cult.

In this episode of The Sharing Grace Podcast, host Jay Austin sits down with Lead Pastor Mark Ragsdale and Middle School Director Maddie Balsitis for a meaningful conversation about Jesus as our Good Shepherd from John 10 and the heart behind CAV's Middle School Ministry. Maddie shares her passion for students, why this age is so pivotal for faith, and how the church can support the next generation. Together, they reflect on the personal nature of Jesus' love, how we can respond to His voice, and practical ways to grow in our relationship with Him.

The Lord is my shepherd. . . . — Psalm 23:1 If the Lord is our shepherd, then the psalm writer is thinking of us as sheep. I'm not so sure that I like being compared to a sheep. Sheep are not very bright. Humans are far more intelligent. For better or worse, we have more capacity for directing our own lives. So how are we like sheep? I wonder if the psalm writer might be highlighting how vulnerable sheep are. They have few defenses from predators, for example. And sheep are not very good at finding their way or finding the best grazing areas. They need a shepherd to bring them to good pastures and to find good water to drink. We humans are vulnerable too. We often lead hurried, distracted lives that wear us out and leave little room for the things that will refresh our souls. We don't always choose what is good for us. We can get confused about who our enemies are, and we often forget that our major enemy, the father of lies, will tell us anything to make us believe that we are unworthy of the shepherd's attention and care. We fall for the lie that there isn't enough to go around and that we need to get what we can before it is all gone. The deceiver makes us think that we are alone on the journey. We are vulnerable, and we need a shepherd. In what other ways are we like sheep in need of a shepherd? We need you, Good Shepherd. Help us to entrust our vulnerabilities to your wise care, knowing that we cannot manage our lives well on our own. Amen.

Brian and Louise Hogan, missionaries and church planters in Mongolia, responded to God's call with obedience. They arrived in the city of Erdenet in the early 1990s; there were no churches in the city. After the conversion of 14 teenage girls, they witnessed the birth and growth of a church community. However, as Scripture reminds us, forward motion in God's kingdom often awakens spiritual resistance. As Brian noted, "Throughout history, whenever the Kingdom has advanced, someone has had to pay a terrible price." For the Hogans, that terrible price was the sudden death of their newborn son, who passed away on Christmas Eve due to sudden infant death syndrome. In the depths of grief and isolation, Brian and Louise felt God's closeness. They were aware that Christians around the world were praying for them. Louise found strength through a question inspired by Elisabeth Elliot: “Was I called? Was I chosen? And did I obey?” She says it should not matter what God does with our obedience; we are simply called to obey. Despite their loss, the Hogans chose to remain in Mongolia, grieving alongside their Mongolian Christian family. Their suffering became a powerful testimony of hope and resurrection in a culture unfamiliar with such concepts. In their loss, they were able to share unshakable Christian hope: “We are going to see our son again.” Brian is the author of There's a Sheep in My Bathtub and An A to Z of Near-Death Adventures.

Ooooh! Dan McClellan has a bee in his bonnet, and her name is Allie Beth Stuckey! This week we're looking at the parable of the sheep and the goats. In it, sheep are good, and goats are bad, and the Lord has some sorting to do. How do you get to be a sheep? Feed, house, clothe, and generally take care of your brothers and sisters. But that presents a problem for Allie Beth: who are her brothers and sisters? Well, let's just say that Ms Stuckey and Dr McClellan do not agree on the best way to interpret Jesus in Matthew 25. It's a showdown! And Allie Beth doesn't come out looking like a sheep. It's the goat vs the G.O.A.T! Then, we're getting positively archaeological up in here, as we explore some fascinating ancient papyri from a little island in the Nile river in southern Egypt. Elephantine island is a thousand miles from Israel, but the tiny community of ancient Hebrew people that lived there shed some incredible light on what Judaism might have looked like back then... and it might surprise you! ---- For early access to an ad-free version of every episode of Data Over Dogma, exclusive content, and the opportunity to support our work, please consider becoming a monthly patron at: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.patreon.com/DataOverDogma⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠      Follow us on the various social media places: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.facebook.com/DataOverDogmaPod⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.twitter.com/data_over_dogma⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Have you ordered Dan McClellan's hit book ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠The Bible Says So⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ yet???
