In the writings of Saint Isaac the Syrian, we see so beautifully the desert fathers emphasis on praxis; that is, how we concretely live out our faith in our day-to-day life and relationships. They knew that Christ can be lost to the mind and the heart not only through sin but also simply in the warp and wolf of day-to-day life. We surround ourselves with things that provide us with a sense of security and identity. This goes beyond material goods and includes our being driven by busyness and the pursuit of the world‘s respect of our accomplishments. We can lose time through idle chatter, laziness, and sloth. With anxious hearts, we direct our energy toward pursuing the things that we have come to love within the world; education, art, athletics, and entertainment. We are zealous for what we love and willing to invest ourselves without counting the cost to pursue it.  However, Saint Isaac reminds us of the meaning and the weight of those small moments and affairs in our day-to-day life. Do we hold in mind the brevity of our life and that it has been entrusted to us in such a way that we will have to give an account before God for how we have used the gift? Do we see the “other” and Christ within the poor or those who are suffering and alone? More often than not our minds and hearts are abstracted by the things that titillate the senses and emotions.  Thus, Saint Isaac tells us acquire freedom in your manner of life; in particular freedom from turmoil. Do not find your freedom by what simply gives pleasure and so become a slave of slaves. Surrounded by abundance and conveniences we often have the sense that we are dependent upon them. Yet we do not realize that they will never help us to acquire humble thoughts or a pure minds. St. Isaac, therefore, describes renunciation as weaning ourselves from our attachment to the things of this world as well as from our own ego. Our dignity and destiny is found in Christ Who is our hope, our salvation, and our Love! --- Text of chat during the group: 00:05:37 susan: been away  what page are we on? 00:11:58 Myles Davidson: Page 143 “Love chastity…..” 00:13:11 Una: Trouble with my sound 00:13:11 Fr.

How would you be different 00:31:33 Julie: Should I feel bad for liking  or surrounding myself with nice things 00:32:41 Eleana: I agree, the tentation when he have a spiritual life is to feel "good" and dressing to be seen or perceive as humble; it can also be false humility that I believe to be the worst pride. 00:33:07 Una: That false self can manifest in busy busy busy 00:34:15 Thomas: I've always thought that remembrance of death was about remembering our sins and that we will be judged and so forth, but Isaac says rejoicing, is this just a different aspect 00:34:44 Rebecca: “I live now. Not I.  But Christ live in me”  St Paul the Apostle 00:41:59 Jamie Hickman: The Mother Teresa story reminds me of paragraph 14: "Conduct yourself with knowledge..." -- this knowledge is intimacy, experience as you've called it, Father. She conducted herself with the love of her Love, He Who Thirsts. She really saw him thirsty there on the sidewalk, and she attempted to satiate him. 00:43:08 Joanna Martinez: There is a beutifuly done documentary film on Amazon Prime called "Sacred Alaska" about the life of small Orthodox community and their saints. The film is not free, costs $4.25, but highly recommended by way of illustrating exactly what St. Isaac speaks abot, living in the hands of God, with freedom to not have control over anything, but living by the grace of God 00:44:08 Nicholas B. Besachio: How does one stay humble when they hold a high position that comes with a lot of priviledge, nice things, and command over others. How does one direct those things toward the good. 00:48:32 Ryan Ngeve: Father what would be the proper approach about people who use busy-ness as an escape from sloth and sinful passions 00:48:51 Ryan Ngeve: To people * 00:49:36 Anthony: Replying to "How does one stay hu..."   Privilege and honor and authority includes responsibilities including in a way responsibility for souls under us. 00:51:04 Una: Interesting question, Ryan 01:02:14 Rebecca: Father, do you have any suggestions on how to ‘order the sense? 01:02:53 Jamie Hickman: Speaking of senses, I'd go to hearing. Music is more accessible, perhaps, than in ages past due to recording devices and proliferation of devices that play music. We know that faith comes from hearing, and so when much of our music is contrary to the Gospel, it is perhaps unsurprising that contemporary man struggles to believe. 01:07:30 Myles Davidson: St Paisios had only a tin can and a teaspoon as his only cooking and eating utensils 01:07:59 Julie: Silence can be scary with your own thoughts 01:08:07 Anthony: Reacted to Silence can be scary... with "

Atmosphere in board games is one of those things that is felt. It is not just about how a game looks or sounds, nor simply the story it tells. Instead, atmosphere is the subtle, almost elusive quality that emerges from the right mixture of art and illustrations, sound, gameplay and a player's imagination. It is what remains with us when all the noise fades and we are left with a sense of immersion and feeling unique to that game world. In this article, I want to explore what atmosphere means in board games and how it can be crafted.Read the full topic discussion article here: https://tabletopgamesblog.com/2025/07/29/atmospheric-anxiety-how-board-games-create-tense-emotions-topic-discussion/Useful LinksNemesis review: https://tabletopgamesblog.com/2022/06/18/nemesis-saturday-review/Adam Kwapiński's design diary for Heroes: https://boardgamegeek.com/blog/1/blogpost/46089/designer-diary-all-about-the-atmosphere-or-the-desMusicIntro Music: Bomber (Sting) by Riot (⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/audiolibrary/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠)Surrounded by Hayden Folker | https://soundcloud.com/hayden-folkerMusic promoted by https://www.free-stock-music.comCreative Commons / Attribution 3.0 Unported License (CC BY 3.0)https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/deed.en_USThe Travelling Symphony by Savfk | https://www.youtube.com/savfkmusicMusic promoted by https://www.free-stock-music.comCreative Commons / Attribution 4.0 International (CC BY 4.0)https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/Necromancer Obediah (The Complete) by Solas Composer | https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCsG2Cp2McUqk78pIPK1aXZgMusic promoted by https://www.free-stock-music.comCreative Commons / Attribution 4.0 International (CC BY 4.0)https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/Back Home by | e s c p | https://www.escp.spacehttps://escp-music.bandcamp.comSupportIf you want to support this podcast financially, please check out the links below:Ko-Fi: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://ko-fi.com/TabletopGamesBlog⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Patreon: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.patreon.com/tabletopgamesblog⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Website: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://tabletopgamesblog.com/support/⁠(Photo by Stefano Pollio on Unsplash)

"The mind of the flesh is death, but the mind of the Spirit is life and peace." Romans 8:6 Are you feeling overwhelmed by the constant noise and distractions of daily life? In a world that never seems to slow down, it's easy to lose sight of what truly matters and let your thoughts spiral. But what if you could reclaim your peace, find true clarity, and experience lasting transformation? Let's discover the power of setting your spiritual thermostat higher — because your life is shaped by your thoughts and how you respond to things around you (Proverbs 4:23). Let's consider the story of Daniel, who faced immense pressure in Babylon. Surrounded by temptation, he chose to refuse the king's food, opting instead for a diet that honored his faith. Daniel's choice was not just about food; it was about renewing his mind and spirit in a foreign land. By prioritizing his values over external influences, he demonstrated that true strength comes from within. Just as Daniel stood firm, we too can choose to cultivate a mindset that nurtures our spiritual health. Romans 12:2 says, "Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will." As we reflect on our lives, we must ask ourselves: What does it mean to renew our minds? It means actively choosing thoughts that align with God's truth, allowing His Word to transform our perspectives. When we fill our minds with positivity and faith, we shield ourselves from negativity and doubt. Remember, "The mind governed by the flesh is death, but the mind governed by the Spirit is life and peace" (Romans 8:6). In other words, our thoughts can either draw us closer to God or lead us astray. The external influences around us can significantly impact our spiritual health. Whether it's the media we consume or the company we keep, these factors shape our outlook and can either uplift or drain our spirits. Therefore, let us be intentional about surrounding ourselves with positivity. “Surround yourself with those on the same mission as you,” because community plays a vital role in our spiritual journey. Proverbs 27:17 says, "As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another." Amen. Prayer for the Day! In the name of Jesus, I declare that may your spiritual thermostat rise to new levels of passion and hunger for God. May your heart burn with fresh fire for His presence, and may every area of spiritual lukewarmness be replaced by zeal, faith, and steadfast devotion. May you be sensitive to the Holy Spirit's leading, always seeking deeper intimacy with the Lord, and may your life radiate His love and power. Amen.

It's Casual Friday on the Majority Report: A pregnant woman in Tennessee is denied medical care under the state's Medical Ethics Defense Act—because she was unmarried, which conflicted with the clinic's so-called “Christian values.” We're joined by Zeteo News Editor-in-Chief Mehdi Hasan to discuss the mass starvation in Gaza, the ongoing Epstein cover-up, and his recent appearance on Jubilee's Surrounded. In the Fun Half: Andrew Cuomo appears on CNBC to reflect on losing the primary—and lays out a firm policy agenda focused on fearmongering, from anti-Semitism panic to Red Scare tactics. The chairman of the FCC openly calls for a media “course correction”—a not-so-subtle threat to align with the Trump agenda or risk cancellation.

In Parashat Matot, Moshe Rabbeinu is commanded by Hashem to avenge the Midyanim for causing Bnei Yisrael to stumble in the most severe sins. Moshe responds by selecting one thousand tzaddikim from each shevet, totaling 12,000 men. He sent them off to war along with Pinchas, the Aron HaKodesh, and the special trumpets used in battle to invoke Hashem's favor and bring victory. The Torah then states: " וַיִּצְבְּאוּ עַל־מִדְיָן " – They encamped against Midyan. Ramban explains that this means the Jewish army surrounded Midyan on three sides, leaving one side open. This was a direct command from Hashem, meant to offer the enemy a chance to flee. Even in war, we are commanded to show mercy. And Ramban adds that this wasn't a one-time instruction—this principle of compassion applies to all future optional wars. Later, the Torah testifies that the Jewish army wiped out Midyan without losing even one soldier. It was openly miraculous. To confront such a large enemy with only 12,000 men and suffer no casualties was clearly the hand of Hashem. This pattern has repeated itself throughout Jewish history. We show compassion to our enemies—and we experience miraculous victories. In a recent conflict, the Israeli Air Force flew nearly 400 warplanes over Iran. Not a single jet malfunctioned. There were no mechanical failures, no planes struck by enemy fire, and not one pilot was injured or captured. Before the operation, Israeli defense officials estimated that between 400 and 800 civilians could be killed in Iranian missile assaults. Some projections feared that if Iran fired all of its 2,000+ ballistic missiles, the death toll could rise to 4,000. In the end, only 687 missiles were fired. Of those, 97% were intercepted. Iran also launched 1,200 drones—99% of which were downed by Israeli defensive systems. According to military experts, these numbers are almost statistically impossible. But when Hashem is protecting us, statistics do not apply. Although we did not merit a completely casualty-free outcome like the war against Midyan, we witnessed an unmistakable miracle. And it wasn't only us who saw it. Even non-Jewish journalists around the world began to acknowledge that something beyond nature is protecting the Jewish people. A British journalist by the last name Heath recently wrote an article exploring the world's irrational hatred for the Jews. He asked: Why does a nation this small inspire so much hostility? In his own words: A nation this small should not be this strong. Surrounded by enemies, condemned in the UN, targeted by terror, boycotted, slandered, and attacked—and yet, the Jewish people thrive in every area: military, medicine, technology, agriculture, security, intelligence, morality, and resilience. They turn desert into farmland. They make water from air. They intercept rockets midair. They rescue hostages from the heart of enemy territory. They survive wars they are supposed to lose—and they win. The world watches and can't explain it. So they grasp for explanations: American aid, high-tech trickery, some hidden secret—anything but the truth. Because the truth means admitting it's Hashem. By all logic, the Jewish people should have disappeared long ago. That's how the story of every exiled, enslaved, and persecuted minority ends. But the Jews didn't disappear. We are stronger than ever. There is no cheat code that can explain how a nation returns to its homeland after 2,000 years. There is no rational explanation for how a people go from gas chambers to global influence. There is no historical precedent for surviving the Babylonians, Romans, Crusaders, Inquisitions, Pogroms, and Holocaust—and still standing strong today. Israel doesn't make sense—unless you believe in something higher. And that's what drives the world crazy. Maybe history isn't random. Maybe evil doesn't have the last word. Maybe the Jewish people aren't just a nation—but a living proof that there is a G-d in the world. Once a person admits that Israel's survival is divine, his entire moral compass has to reset. Because then he is not watching the final chapter of a fallen people, but rather the unfolding of something eternal. So the world tries to deny it—but it is becoming more and more obvious. We are incredibly fortunate to be the Am Hashem. We must appreciate that privilege and honor it by living as true representatives of Hashem—through our Torah and our mitzvot.. Shabbat Shalom.

Renunciation: The word has certain connotations that are often tied to deprivation or unhappiness. What we find in the writings of the great ascetics, St. Isaac especially, is something quite different; the weaning of ourselves from the things that we are attached to in the world in order to become more attached to God, to what endures and fills the soul with consolation and strength.  For example, we are called to embrace the practice of vigils, to rise during the night to pray and thereby humbling the mind and the body. Yet Isaac does not see this as costly but rather as restorative and promising consolation in times of trial and affliction. It is in silence, often deepest during the night and free of distraction, that we are able to listen to God and receive what he desires to give us.  Likewise, we are to persevere in spiritual reading while we dwell in stillness. We let go of the hectic pace of society and the busyness into which we often thrust ourselves in order to taste the sweetness of the wisdom of the scriptures and the fathers. Perhaps more challenging, we are told that we are to love poverty. We are to willingly let go of material goods and radically simplify our lives. In doing so, Isaac tells us, the mind remains collected and is secured from wandering. We often become anxious about our worldly security and protecting what ilwe have come to possess. We become driven to spend more time focused on the things of this world than we are pursuing the life of virtue and prayer. In a similar vein, Isaac tells us to detest superfluity so that our thoughts might remain untroubled. Again, filling our lives with things, activities, work or social engagements steals from us solitude and the silence that is born from it. Surrounded constantly by the noise and the affairs of the world we begin to experience intense anxiety and depression seeing only the presence of chaos and violence that makes one question reality and the value and purpose of life.  Part of the beauty of reading the desert fathers is that they reveal to us the beauty and the dignity of the human person made in the image and likeness of God and redeemed by the blood of Christ.  Their lives and their writings fill the heart with hope in a dark world and set the soul on fire to to embrace what has been promised us by our Lord. To God be the glory unto ages of ages. Amen. --- Text of chat during the group:  00:04:19 Bob Čihák, AZ: P. 143, first short paragraph, 6 00:12:49 cameron: The names again please 00:14:56 Bob Čihák, AZ: P. 143, first short paragraph, 6 00:14:59 cameron: Monk and monastery 00:15:13 cameron: Thank you. 00:20:52 Myles Davidson: Replying to "P. 143, first short ..." “Honor the work of vigil…” 00:21:55 Bob Čihák, AZ: P. 143, first short paragraph, 6 00:32:20 James Hickman: For years I've found myself waking up against my will, then over the years (more recently, and not always!) seeing it as a gift. But when I have an icon on my wall, I find it a grace when I lay there awake in bed and make simple prayer of the heart, simple acts. This seems valuable. I'll be ok to hear if there's more expected than this. Objectivity is desired here. Work in progress here. 00:33:05 David: I have a prayer book that has a Greek orthodox evening prayer and in the ending it says "we sing to you in the night- Holy, holy holy are you oh God, through the prayers of the Theotokos have mercy on me". Is this a practice when one begins a vigil? When I do wake I always try to say it but was not sure if it is something formal in vigils? 00:35:59 Jessica Imanaka: Several Trappist monks I know have said they don't need as much as sleep as medical science dictates. The deceased abbot used to say that prayer reduces the physical need for sleep. Whenever I go on retreat, praying the full office, I just can't sleep as much. My body doesn't want to. 00:36:13 Anthony: On waking up at night....some people say 3am is the devil's hour, so it's advisable to pray then.  I think that gives way too much focus on the devil's?

Besachio: What does St. Issac say about demonic attacks on Faith. 00:41:26 Rebecca Thérèse: Christ died on the cross at 3pm so Satanists say a black mass at 3am, that's why some people refer to it as the devil's hour 00:42:30 Bob Čihák, AZ: Catholic apologist Jimmy Akin did a Mysterious World session # 98 on “Sleep” which I found helpful.

Cliffzilla returns to the podcast today. Make sure to listen to the whole thing -- I successfully coaxed him into previewing what he'd do to the MAGA bros on that YouTube show Surrounded. It's like the Rolling Stones performing Gimme Shelter. Speaking of music, we started out talking about Ozzy Osbourne. We obviously talked about Donald's criminal connection to Jeffrey Epstein and what will happen next. And we talked about the White House's attempt to prosecute Barack Obama.

Send us a textIn this episode of the Quivercast, we sit down with former professional surfer Shaun Munro @shaunkmunro, whose surf journey began on the beaches of Australia under the guidance of his father Don—founder of Mango surf apparel. Surrounded by legends like Mark Richards, Baron Lynch, and Tony Moniz, Shaun was immersed in the surf world from a young age. A standout in the Australian amateur ranks as a teenager, Shaun wasn't just chasing contest wins—he had a vision of seeing himself in surf magazines and hustled with photographers to turn that vision into reality.Shaun went on to travel the world for over a decade, competing at the highest levels of professional surfing. But when chronic back issues sidelined him, Shaun stepped away from the water for many years. That changed when his son Louis caught the surfing bug, reigniting Shaun's passion and bringing him back to the waves. Tune in to hear a story full of inspiration, legacy, and rediscovered stoke as Shaun reflects on his unique surf journey and the joy of sharing it with the next generation.Support the showBUY THE ENDLESS SUMMER BOX SET HERE!If you like the QuiverCast here are some ways to help us keep going!

In this powerful message, we dive into 2 Chronicles 20:14–25, where God shows up in an extraordinary way for King Jehoshaphat and the people of Judah. Surrounded by overwhelming odds, they didn't fight with swords—they worshiped, trusted, and watched God fight their battle.This sermon reminds us that your breakthrough doesn't come by force—it comes through faith. When the Spirit of the Lord speaks, and you choose praise over panic, your deliverance is already in motion.

Overnight we got the news that Ozzy Osbourne has passed away at 76 just weeks after his farewell concert - Surrounded by family. We took a trip down memory lane to remember the time when Fitzy thought he was doing a "nice" thing by comparing Kelly Osbourne to a certain beloved fast food character - it didn't go down well.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Welcome to The Weekly Word! In this timely message, we are stepping into PROMOTION TIME—August 1–15 on the Gregorian calendar, aligned with the powerful spiritual season in the Hebrew month of Av.We are currently in the prophetic window called "Between the Straits"—from July 13 (17th of Tammuz) to August 3 (9th of Av). This season recalls both historic tragedy and a call to next-level faith.What You'll Learn in This Word:Why the Hebrew month of Av (Menachem Av) means “God our Comforter”—a season of divine comfort and accelerationThe golden calf incident (Exodus 32) and how fear and impatience cause us to forget our identityHow the 10 spies missed God's promise (Numbers 13–14) because they saw themselves as grasshoppers instead of conquerorsWhy your promotion requires you to see through eyes of faith, not fearHow God has written your destiny for this year—and this is the time to step into it!Prophetic Reflection:The Israelites came out of Egypt with silver and gold, but they carried a slave mindset. Surrounded by false gods in Egypt, they struggled to fully trust the one true God—even after miracles, signs, and wonders. When waiting at Mount Sinai, they questioned their identity and God's goodness.But God is saying: STOP. PAUSE. STEP IN.You're coming into August. You're entering Menachem Av—“I am the Lord your Comforter.” God wants to comfort you from affliction and raise your faith to receive your promotion.Romans 1:17 reminds us that "the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith." In the Greek, the word for faith—pistis—means:Moral convictionReliance on ChristAssurance in God's goodnessSo ask yourself:
Do you believe He's merciful, just, loving, and good?
Do you believe He has good plans for you?
Because God is calling you into the Promised Land, and your faith will determine how far you go.Key Dates to Remember:July 13 – 17th of Tammuz (Start of "Between the Straits")July 25 (at sundown) – Start of the month of AvAugust 1–15 – Promotion TimeAugust 3 – 9th of Av (Tisha B'Av, a day of mourning and reflection)Don't miss this prophetic word—it's your moment to break cycles, rise in faith, and walk into your God-appointed destiny.LIKE • COMMENT • SUBSCRIBE for more weekly prophetic insights!Sign up for the free “ASCEND Class” at 10 am and 6 pm EST – Tuesday August 12

It's Monday, and allegedly a fun day. First, Tulsi Gabbard tries to worm her way back into Trump's good graces with a fresh Obama conspiracy theory, while Trump shares an AI-generated video of Obama being “arrested” by FBI agents. In an especially desperate attempt to shift attention away from Epstein headlines, Trump threatens to block a deal for the Washington Commanders' new stadium—unless they bring back the team's old name. Then we're joined by journalist Matt Duss to discuss his new piece in Foreign Policy, “The Biden Administration Lied About Gaza. It's Time to Hold Them Accountable.” Later, Candace Rondeaux, author of Putin's Sledgehammer, joins us to break down Russia's war in Ukraine and the Wagner Group's role in meddling in U.S. elections. In the Fun Half we watch Mehdi Hasan debate 20 far-right panelists in Jubilee's Surrounded series. Andrew Cuomo left his home in Westchester Country to visit Long Island to raise money for his New York City mayoral race and someone was kind enough to secretly record his speech. Turns out it was voter turnout that caused his defeat by 12 points. Fox News does some "embedded journalism" by sending a reporter to Central Florida for a puff piece that covers "consensual interactions" like finger printing workers for a national immigrant data base.

Send us a textWhat does it mean to glorify God with your body? In a world of distorted freedom and personal truth, this message from 1 Corinthians 6 offers a bold, beautiful vision of sex, identity, and the sacredness of our bodies.-------In 1 Corinthians 6:12–20, Paul confronts the Corinthian church's confusion about sexuality, freedom, and the human body. Surrounded by a culture steeped in immorality, these early believers needed a fresh understanding of what it meant to glorify God with their bodies. This sermon explores Paul's warning against twisting Christian liberty, rationalizing sin, and misusing what God calls sacred. Our bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit and purchased at a high price. Believers are called to flee sexual immorality, not just avoid it, and live into their redeemed identity. Because in Christ, our freedom isn't for self-indulgence, but for a sacred purpose.HOME | PLAN YOUR VISIT | BLOG | DIGITAL BULLETIN

Paul's time in Athens was a bold step of courage. Surrounded by idols and intellectual pride, he took the Gospel straight into the marketplace, engaging with the great thinkers of the time. Even with the real risk of death, Paul stood firm, declaring that the Creator God had always been present. His courage wasn't based on intellect, but on being deeply aware of God's presence—reminding us that we don't need all the answers to share our faith, just the willingness to step in when God calls. Pastor Dave Dummitt challenges us to be ready, wherever we are, to speak truth with courage!
