Welcome to Day 2772 of Wisdom-Trek. Thank you for joining me. This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to Wisdom. Day 2772 – Wisdom Nuggets – Psalm 105:37-45 – Daily Wisdom Wisdom-Trek Podcast Script - Day 2772 Welcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps! I am Guthrie Chamberlain, and we are on Day two thousand seven hundred seventy-two of our Trek. The Purpose of Wisdom-Trek is to create a legacy of wisdom, to seek out discernment and insights, and to boldly grow where few have chosen to grow before. The title for today's Wisdom-Trek is: The Great Exodus – Spoils of War and the Bread of Angels. Today, we reach the glorious conclusion of our historical journey through Psalm One Hundred Five, trekking through the final section, verses thirty-seven through forty-five, in the New Living Translation. In our previous trek, we descended into the darkness of Egypt. We walked through the dungeon with Joseph, feeling the iron collar around his neck. We witnessed the "War of the Gods," where Yahweh systematically dismantled the Egyptian pantheon through the ten plagues. We saw the Nile turn to blood, the sky turn black, and the firstborn fall, proving that the gods of Egypt were powerless before the God of Abraham. But the story doesn't end with the defeat of the enemy. It ends with the liberation of the family. Today, we watch the Israelites walk out of the house of slavery. But they do not leave as refugees; they leave as conquerors. We will see them laden with silver and gold, guided by a pillar of fire, and fed by bread from heaven. We will see them march into the Promised Land to reclaim the territory of the nations. And finally, we will answer the ultimate question: Why? Why did God do all of this? Why the plagues, the miracles, and the manna? The final verse of this psalm gives us the answer, and it defines the very purpose of our existence. So, let us join the procession of the redeemed as they march toward Zion. The first segment is: The Victorious Exit: Plunder and Supernatural Health Psalm One Hundred Five: verses thirty-seven through thirty-eight. The Lord brought his people out of Egypt, loaded with silver and gold; and not one among the tribes of Israel even stumbled. Egypt was glad when they were gone, for they feared them greatly. The psalm picks up immediately after the Passover night. The judgment has fallen, and now the liberation begins. "The Lord brought his people out of Egypt, loaded with silver and gold..." This is the fulfillment of a specific prophecy given to Abraham way back in Genesis Fifteen, verse fourteen: "Afterward they will come out with great possessions." In the Ancient Israelite worldview, this event—often called the "plundering of the Egyptians"—was not merely reparations for four hundred years of slavery, though it certainly was that. It was the Spoils of War. Yahweh, the Divine Warrior, had defeated the gods of Egypt on their own turf. In ancient warfare, the victor strips the defeated. Israel, as the army of Yahweh, marched out carrying the wealth of the empire that tried to crush them. They didn't sneak away in the night empty-handed; they walked out wealthy. And look at the physical condition...

Today, a look at the S&P 500 attempting a new all-time high and the broader market bulling up strongly on the nominally dovish FOMC meeting, only to be spoiled by the Oracle earnings after the close as investors worry about the company's rate of spending and cloud revenue miss. Can Broadcom earnings today save the day? Also, Carvana is about to be added to the S&P 500, but is it an out-and-out fraud and an eventual zero as many short sellers would maintain?

Post-Gazette Steelers insiders Gerry Dulac and Ray Fittipaldo react to the team's NFL Week 8 matchup with the Green Bay Packers at Acrisure Stadium. Why did did the secondary -- led by Joey Porter Jr., Darius Slay Jr. and Jalen Ramsey -- struggle so badly against QB Jordan Love, TE Tucker Kraft and the Packers passing game? Where was the pressure from T.J. Watt, Cam Heyward, Nick Herbig, Alex Highsmith, Keeanu Benton, Derrick Harmon and others as they failed to generate a sack for a second consecutive game? How should we grade QB Aaron Rodgers, WRs DK Metcalf and Roman Wilson and TEs Pat Freiermuth, Jonnu Smith and Darnell Washington in the passing game? And why was RB Jaylen Warren able to have success on the ground? Our duo tackles those questions and more. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

The Los Angeles Dodgers had a lead against the NL East champion Phillies, but Jack Dreyer had an uncharacteristically bad night and Alex Vesia did, too, both allowing go-ahead home runs in the late innings. Mookie Betts had two sacrifice flies and a game-tying homer, and Andy Pages had a huge game-tying homer off Philly closer Jhoan Duran in the bottom of the ninth, but LA was unable to push across a run in the bottom of the 10th and dropped the game. The loss probably ends the Dodgers' chances of avoiding the Wild Card round of the playoffs, so now they're mostly playing to win the NL West. Tube in all season long!

Every dynasty insists on its permanence. Every people clings to the hollow echo of its own voice. Every generation invents its own despair and dares to call it light. Yet Scripture unmasks the fragility of these human building projects.The voices of despair rise in the camp, soothing themselves with stories of morality, while kings and judges build false legacies and nations carve idols in the light of their own eyes. Again and again, the words of God cut across this chorus, splitting the false consolation of narrative with the constellation of Abrahamic function: exposing human futility with divine riddle, and announcing what no human voice can summon: the surplus of grace and light. Or perhaps, when hope is gone and the fall seems final, it descends for you not as light but as despair.Can you even tell the difference? Are you still confused about the Shepherd's identity? Yes, you are. Because you are a Westerner. And now even the East has turned West. All of you are talking about yourselves.Catch up quickly, ḥabībī. God is written. God does not forget. God does not turn. And God, as the Apostle said, is not mocked.This week, I discuss Luke 8:41.Ἰάϊρος (Iairos) /י־א־ר (yod-alef-resh, “light”)י־א־ש (yod-alef-shin, “despair”) /ي־ء־س (yāʾ-hamza-sīn)The functions י־א־ר (yod-alef-resh, “shine”, “light”) and י־א־ש (yod-alef-shin, “despair”) share the same first two letters (י + א). Only the last letter is different: resh (ר) for shine, shin (ש) for despair. In Semitic languages, this kind of overlap often forms a word-family or cluster where similar-looking roots embody opposite meanings. The placement and structure leave the door open to hear and see them as two edges of the same blade—one edge to shine, the other to despair. The Arabic cognate يَئِسَ (yaʾisa, “to despair”) expands this constellation of function, confirming the polarity as it treads across the breadth of Semitic tradition. (HALOT, pp. 381-382)The Double-Edged Sword of Semitic Function: Despair and Light1. The Voice of the People: DespairLuke 8:49 “Your daughter is dead; do not trouble the Teacher any longer.”The crowd speaks. The household voices despair.This is not faith, not trust, not light, not life. It is the voice of the human being declaring finality. It is the voice of war in the camp, of the cruelty of throwing children away.The Hebrew/Arabic root י־א־ש / ي-ء-س (to despair) captures this perfectly. Across Semitic tradition, despair is the word of man: resignation, futility, darkness.“None despairs تَيْأَسُوا (tayʾasu) of the mercy of God except the disbelieving people.” (Qurʾan, Surah Yūsuf سورة يوسف “Joseph” 12:87)Again, despair is attributed to the people.Human communities, when confronted with death, loss, or trial, give voice to hopelessness.2. The Voice of God: Light and HopeLuke 8:50 “Do not fear; only trust, and she will be saved.”This is not the voice of the people. It is the word of the Lord, cutting through human despair.The name Jairus (יָאִיר, yaʾir “he will shine”) itself belongs not to human commentary but to God's proclamation. The child will live; light will shine.“Until, when the messengers despaired ٱسْتَيْـَٔسَ (istaʾyasa) and thought that they were denied, our help came to them, and whoever we willed was saved. But our might cannot be repelled from the guilty people.” (Qurʾan, Surah Yūsuf سورة يوسف “Joseph” 12:110)The human limit is despair. God's instruction interrupts where human beings fail. His mercy and help arrive at the point where human voices collapse.In both the Gospel and the Qur'an, the sword of Pauline Grace hangs above the scene. On one edge is the people's despair: sharp, cutting, self-inflicted, and final. On the other edge is God's light: sharper still, decisive, and life-giving. Scripture allows no compromise between the two. One voice must be silenced: the word of the people falls, and the word of God stands, forever.πίπτω (pipto) / נ־פ־ל (nun-fe-lamed) / ن־ف־ل (nūn-fāʾ-lām)The root carries the function “to fall, fall down, be slain, collapse, fail; to fall in battle, collapse in death, or prostrate,” and in its semantics it denotes a sense of finality, the collapse of life or order.According to Lane's Lexicon, the root ن-ف-ل (nūn–fāʾ–lām) indicates “he gave without obligation, akin to Pauline grace as a free gift” (نَفَلَ nafala), “that which falls to a man's lot without his seeking it” (نَفْل nafl), or “booty, spoil, bounty” (أَنْفَال anfāl), while Tāj al-ʿArūs describes it as “that which falls (يَقَعُ yaqaʿu) to someone's portion.” This resonates with Paul's use of χάρις (charis, grace), where salvation is not earned but freely given: “For by grace [χάριτί (chariti)] you have been saved through faith; and this is not of yourselves, it is the gift of God” (Ephesians 2:8). Likewise, Paul stresses that justification comes “being justified as a gift [δωρεάν (dorean)] by his grace [τῇ αὐτοῦ χάριτι (te autou chariti)] through the redemption which is in Christ Jesus” (Romans 3:24).“She has fallen [נָפְלָה (nafelah)], she will not rise again, the virgin Israel. She lies neglected on her land; There is no one to raise her up.” (Amos 5:2)“They fell [ἔπεσαν (epesan)] on their faces before the throne.” (Revelation 7:11)In the Qur'an, Paul's teaching is carried forward from Luke, and the function of the fall is inverted: human failure becomes a gift, a “surplus”, not the false surplus of the billionaire abundance mafia, but what God allots beyond human expectation. Where Hebrew נ־פ־ל (nun-fe-lamed) and Greek πίπτω (pipto) establish the fall as collapse, ruin, and death, Arabic ن-ف-ل (nūn-fāʾ-lām) reshapes the same constellation into grace: what falls to one's portion without effort, the unearned bounty. Thus, the Jairus mashal, where the daughter falls into death yet rises as a surplus of life, finds its perpetuation in the term's Qur'anic itinerary: the fall itself becomes the site of God's grace.Luke 8:49-50: “Your daughter has died; do not trouble the Teacher anymore.” But He answered, “Do not be afraid any longer; only believe, and she will be saved.”Romans 3:24: “Being made righteous as a gift [δωρεάν (dorean)] by his grace [χάριτι (chariti)] through the redemption which is in Christ Jesus.”Qurʾan, Surat al-Anfāl سورة الأنفال “The Spoils of War” 8:1: “They ask you about the spoils [ٱلۡأَنفَالِ (al-anfāl)]. Say, ‘The spoils belong to God and the Apostle.'”Judges were intended to function as earthen vessels: temporary saviors raised up by God to deliver Israel, re-establish order under the Torah, and cultivate dependence on him and him alone. Instead, like all dynastic bureaucrats, they mistook the spoils of God's victory as their own possession, converting deliverance into personal legacy. Jair's brief rule in Judges...

This week, Steven goes back to the old school ways of Spoils of Horror and makes Leo watch a movie he never wanted to see... Exorcist: Believer! They talk about the problems with legacy sequels, how bad parenting causes demonic possession, swamp water in the tub, finding random people blessing your house, "the patriarchy", exorcists who don't know anything about exorcism, and what happens when your film is so desperate to not offend anyone... it ends up offending everyone. Is this movie as bad as people say it is? Listen to find out! Watch the trailer here - Exorcist: BelieverLike the show?

In this week's raw and honest episode, we're going deep. Deeper than porn. Deeper than behavior. This is about the heart and the eternal battle between comfort and calling. You'll hear a powerful story about Alexander the Great and how his army's success became their greatest hindrance. And how that same pattern plays out in the lives of Christian men today. Spoils become shackles. Comfort becomes compromise. And sin, both obvious and subtle, keeps us from the race we were meant to run. But we're not left without an example. Jesus, the greater King, burned every worldly treasure to obey the will of the Father—and then called us to follow Him. Not to simply “go,” but to follow. You'll discover: Why the call to follow Jesus means radical surrender How to throw off the “weighted vest” of comfort and sin A practical challenge to fix your eyes on Christ...not other Christians, not your Instagram feed, not your bank account And a live invite to join a free workshop on biblical meditation (inside the Man of Valor community) This is not about white-knuckling your way out of pornography. It's about magnifying Christ and living for something that will never fade. Mentioned in this episode: The Alexander the Great story and spiritual parallel Hebrews 12:1–4 | Philippians 2 | 1 Peter 2 | 2 Corinthians 8:9 Quotes from Charles Spurgeon The “Murph Workout” analogy to carrying spiritual weight A free community for men: themanofvalor.com Upcoming live workshop: How to Meditate on the Word of God (register inside the group)
Offense Isn't Just Pain: It's Pain + Pride We often think being offended is just another form of hurt—but it's more than that. Offense is what happens when pain gets tangled with pride. It's the moment pain hardens into judgment, and we start to feel powerful… while quietly becoming more closed off.In this episode, we unpack how offense feels like a defense mechanism—but actually keeps us stuck. You'll learn how offense hijacks your brain's ability to heal, why it loops like a highlight reel of your rightness, and what that reveals about identity, humility, and emotional maturity.You'll hear real-life phrases that often sound self-protective (“I'm not mad, just done”) but are often signs of unchecked offense. You'll also get a practical self-reflection tool to help you “spot the offense” and re-center on humility.Offense might feel like strength—but humility is where the healing begins.You'll walk away with:- A breakdown of how offense affects your brain- Examples of what offense sounds like in everyday language- Questions to examine whether you're stuck in an offense loop- Clarity on the difference between healthy boundaries and prideful withdrawal Our Pre-Marriage E-course is like coaching from your couch. What's inside?✅ 6 bite-sized video sessions (30 min each)✅ 50-page workbook to guide real conversations✅ Topics on communication, conflict, intimacy, money & moreDon't just plan your wedding—prepare for your marriage!➡️ Buy the course [clic Support the show------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------->>> Become a sponor of our shows
