This is part four of the High Functioning Christian Women in Destructive Marriages series, and today we talk about a concept that ties the whole series together: sovereignty. Synonyms for sovereignty include: freedom, autonomy, and independence.If you've spent years managing everyone's needs, shrinking your own, and building an identity around your capacity to give without limit, this episode will challenge a misunderstood theology that was never meant for women who are already pouring out from an empty cup.

Das Wort „Routine“ hat sich in den letzten Jahren zu einem Modewort entwickelt und findet sich als Synonym für Disziplin, Produktivität oder ein erfolgreiches Leben in den sozialen Medien und auch in Ratgebern. Ob Morgenroutinen, Pflegeroutinen oder Erfolgsroutinen aber tatsächlich erstrebenswert sind und wie der Begriff sprachwissenschaftlich einzuordnen ist, darüber hat sich die ehemalige Leiterin der Duden-Redaktion Dr. Kathrin Kunkel-Razum Gedanken gemacht.

What the Bible calls the fear of man goes by many names in modern parlance, often cloaked in socially acceptable language or chalked up to personality quirks. But beneath the surface of these terms is a controlling belief system—a misplaced trust in people over God. When we speak of traits like insecurity, peer pressure, or people-pleasing, we're not just pointing out emotional struggles or behavioral patterns. We are exposing a functional theology—a core belief system about where our hope lies and what ultimately defines our worth. The fear of man is far more than a social discomfort; it's a faith issue. It reveals where we are placing our confidence.

Ein Gespräch über Familie, Frankfurt, das wahre Leben und das Leben als »Internetpersönlichkeit«. Wer Parshad Esmaeili nicht kennt und ihren Namen googelt, dem weißt sie die Suchmaschine als »Internetpersönlichkeit« aus. Früher wahrscheinlich ein Synonym für »meine Eltern verstehen nicht, wie ich in diesem Internet mein Geld verdiene«. Dabei ist Parshad Esmaeili einiges mehr: Stand-up-Comedienne, Moderatorin, und sie hat seit kurzem eine eigene Quizshow auf ZDFneo. Und sie macht Videos auf YouTube und anderen Social-Media-Kanälen. Über das Leben als »Alleinerzogene« hat sie im Knaur Verlag das Buch »Papa weg. Mama müde. Ich laut.« geschrieben. Ein Projekt, für das sie viel mit ihrer Mutter gesprochen hat. »Das Buch hat mich auch dazu gezwungen, mich mit mir zu beschäftigen und zu reflektieren. Das hätte ich so intensiv niemals mit einem anderen Projekt, mit einer Visualisierung hinbekommen«, sagt Parshad im Podcast. Das Buch ist melancholisch, wenn es um die eigene Familie in Deutschland und im Iran geht und es enthält auch witzige Passagen. »Es ist ja kein Wunder, dass sich Komödie auf Tragödie reimt«, sagt Parshad. Dass sie auch auf Bühnen und in Videos laut wurde, sei das Endergebnis der beiden anderen Teile in ihrem Leben: Papa weg. Mama müde. Hören Sie das vollständige Gespräch mit Parshad Esmaeili im Podcast des literaturcafe.de. Geführt wurde es am 21. März 2026 auf der Leipziger Buchmesse.

Heute vor 180 Jahren wurde in Thüringen Josef Rodenstock geboren, dessen gleichnamiges Unternehmen bis heute Synonym für deutsche Ingenieurskunst in der Augenoptik ist.

Heute vor vier Jahren wurde Butscha befreit. Die Bilder von gefesselten, getöteten Zivilisten haben sich als Synonym für russische Kriegsverbrechen in das Gedächtnis eingebrannt. Aber Gerechtigkeit ist ein Marathon: Während in Kiew der Butscha-Gipfel läuft, analysiert Hans von der Burchard vor Ort die juristischen Hebel. Kann ein Sondertribunal unter dem Dach des Europarates die russische Führung wirklich belangen, solange Putin im Amt ist? Im 200-Sekunden-Interview dazu: Robin Wagener, Osteuropa-Beauftragter der Grünen und Vorsitzender der deutsch-ukrainischen Parlamentariergruppe. Er fordert von Deutschland eine klare Ratifizierung des Sondertribunals und warnt davor, „normale Beziehungen“ zu einem Regime herbeizusehnen, das Menschenrechte systematisch mit Füßen tritt. Entwicklungsministerin Reem Alabali Radovan ist auf Reise im Nahen Osten. Da Stopps in Israel und den palästinensischen Gebieten aus Sicherheitsgründen gestrichen werden mussten, konzentriert sich der Besuch auf Jordanien. Carlotta Diederich begleitet für POLITICO die Ministerin und berichtet über die Lage in den Flüchtlingslagern, den Einfluss des Iran-Krieges auf die Region und Alabali Radovans Treffen mit deutschen Soldaten.

The show closes with another new game where Wayne tests the guy's knowledge on popular bands but with a twist. The KONMen will have to guess what the band name is from its “synonym name”.

In den 1970er-Jahren wurde ein Name weltweit zum Synonym für internationalen Terrorismus: Carlos der Schakal. Hinter diesem Beinamen verbarg sich der venezolanische Terrorist Ilich Ramírez Sánchez, der für mehrere Anschläge und Entführungen verantwortlich gemacht wird. Moritz und Michi schauen sich sein Leben genauer an. Von seiner politischen Radikalisierung über seine Verbindungen zu verschiedenen militanten Gruppen bis hin zu seiner wohl bekanntesten Aktion, der Geiselnahme während der OPEC-Konferenz in Wien im Jahr 1975. Dabei geht es nicht nur um den Ablauf dieses spektakulären Anschlags, sondern auch um die politische Lage der Zeit, internationale Geheimdienste und die Frage, wie aus einem Mann ein globaler Mythos des Terrorismus werden konnte.

Adam Smith gilt als Begründer der modernen Ökonomie. Doch das Sinnbild der „unsichtbaren Hand des Marktes“ ist zu Unrecht zum Synonym seiner Philosophie geworden. Vor 250 Jahren veröffentlichte er sein Hauptwerk „Der Wohlstand der Nationen“. Wolf, Marcus www.deutschlandfunk.de, Kalenderblatt

Episode #1: Urgeschichte neu denken – Warum „Am Anfang“ kein Datum ist „Sag mir, wie du die Urgeschichte verstehst, und ich sag dir, was du glaubst.“ Was wäre, wenn wir die ersten Seiten der Bibel jahrelang falsch gelesen haben? In der Auftaktfolge räumen Martin Benz und Martin Thoms mit dem Missverständnis auf, die Urgeschichte sei ein naturwissenschaftlicher Faktenbericht. Wir tauchen ein in die Welt der Hebräischen Mythen und entdecken, dass es Gott nicht darum ging, uns zu erklären, wie die Welt physikalisch entstand, sondern was sie im Innersten zusammenhält. In dieser Folge erfährst du: Der Mythos-Check: Warum „Mythos“ kein Synonym für „Lüge“ ist, sondern die tiefste Form von Wahrheit transportiert, die über nackte Zahlen hinausgeht. Fakten vs. Poesie: Warum die Frage nach den „Knochen Adams“ genauso absurd ist wie die Suche nach den Überresten des verlorenen Sohnes. Das Geheimnis von „Reschit“: Warum das erste Wort der Bibel (Bereschit) eigentlich kein zeitlicher Startpunkt ist, sondern das fundamentale Prinzip beschreibt, auf dem alles ruht. Die inklusive Kraft der Schöpfung: Warum die Urgeschichte ein riesiges „Ja“ zu jedem einzelnen Grashalm und jedem Menschen auf dieser Erde ist – noch bevor überhaupt von einem „erwählten Volk“ die Rede ist.   Ressourcen zur Folge: Buch: Die biblische Urgeschichte von Martin Thoms (Erscheint Ende März 2026 bei der EVA Leipzig). https://www.eva-leipzig.de/de/thoms-die-biblische-urgeschichte Webinar: 10-wöchiger Onlinekurs zur Urgeschichte ab 28.4.2026.

Vad är skillnaderna mellan en liberal syn och vänsterns syn på fred? Vad betyder antimilitarism? Vad behövs för att vänstern ska kunna lyfta fredsfrågan på sina villkor? I det här avsnittet pratar Fredrik Egefur och Jenny Gustafsson med Krakels Vendela om fredsrörelser och fredsbegrepp med utgångspunkt i tidskriften Fronesis nummer 84-85. Samtalet handlar om varför fredsfrågan är avhängig av demokratiska mötesplatser, om vikten av att våga vara den kritiska rösten trots att man beskrivs som naiv och om varför det inte är kört.Samtalet spelades in den 11 januari 2026 i Krakels lokal i Malmö, i ett samarbete mellan Fronesis, Krakel och ABF Malmö. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

400 Meter Hürden sind mehr als „einmal um die Bahn mit ein paar Hindernissen“. In dieser Episode zerlegen wir die Langhürde so, wie sie im Spitzensport wirklich gedacht wird: als Disziplin, in der Rhythmus, Speed und Stoffwechsel permanent miteinander ringen – und am Ende entscheidet, wer den besten Plan hat, wenn's hinten richtig weh tut.Mein Gast Christian Kupper ist seit 01.01.2025 Bundesstützpunkttrainer in Frankfurt (Langsprint/Langhürden) und arbeitet mit einer der stärksten 400mH-Gruppen Deutschlands – u. a. mit Joshua Abuaku, Emil Agyekum, Owe Fischer Breiholz und Eileen Demes. Christian beschreibt 400m Hürden in einem Satz, der hängenbleibt: „Wie bringe ich den Rhythmus ans Limit?“ Genau darum geht's: Energie sparen, obwohl die Belastung steigt – und dabei technisch stabil bleiben.Ein besonderer Kontext macht diese Folge für viele in der Szene nochmal spannender: Christian Kupper hat in Frankfurt die Trainingsgruppe von Volker Beck übernommen – Olympiasieger über 400 Meter Hürden und in Deutschland für viele bis heute ein Synonym für diese Disziplin. Volker hat über Jahre Standards gesetzt, wie man Langhürden denkt, plant und trainiert. Und auch für mich ist das persönlich: Ich durfte acht Jahre bei ihm trainieren. Umso wertvoller ist der Blick darauf, wie Christian diese erfolgreiche Struktur weiterführt, modern interpretiert und mit seiner Handschrift in die nächste Generation trägt.Wir sprechen in dieser Folge über die drei Leistungssäulen im 400 Meter Hürdenlauf:Stoffwechsel (Platz 1!) – weil ohne Fitness kein Rennmodell funktioniert. Christian erklärt, warum aerobe Komponenten (Schwelle/VO2max) je nach Belastungsdauer wichtiger werden, und wie er anaerobe Kapazität vs. Power unterscheidet. Konkret wird's bei Diagnostik-Werten: VO2max-Bereiche 60+ bis 65+ und Laktatwerte 20+– aber bewusst dosiert, weil solche Reize „Müdigkeit kaufen“.Speed & Sprintmechanik – inklusive „geklauter“ Tools aus Kurzsprint und Kurzhürde: Beschleunigung, Top-Speed-Mechanics, Drills.Rhythmus & Hürdentechnik – weniger „Millimeter-Perfektion“ als bei der Kurzhürde, aber brutal entscheidend, wenn die Müdigkeit kommt. Christian erklärt, wie er Rennmodelle vorbereitet (Aufgaben pro Hürdenabschnitt) und warum Wind & Bedingungen echte Rhythmus-Killer sein können.Dazu gibt's Deep Dive in Schrittmuster (13er/14er/15er), typische Athletentypen, warum beidseitiges Hürdenlaufen neue Modelle öffnet – und wie Christian Jahresplanung/Periodisierung angeht: Ganzjahresplanung auf die Outdoorsaison, Fitness-Fundament (u. a. Crossfit-Box), Speed & Hürde ganzjährig, Umfang und Intensität clever gegeneinander periodisiert.Alle aktuellen Partner findest du hier:NordVPN mit verschlüsselter Verbindung und blockiert schädliche Seiten & Tracker.Exklusiv: Großer Rabatt auf das 2-Jahrespaket + 4 Extra-Monate gratis.

Joshua Lachter, co-founder of Synonym, joins us for an in-depth conversation about the future of biomanufacturing and what he calls "the great reformulation."

Synonym Cinema by Maine's Coast 93.1

“Get Ready, Get Ready, Get Ready” – Crossing the Jordan I. Introduction Opening greeting and call to readiness for the Word of God. Reference to the recent week of prayer and fasting as preparation. Sermon title: “Get Ready, Get Ready, Get Ready.” Text reference: Joshua 3:1–5. Key verse: “Sanctify yourselves, for tomorrow the Lord will do wonders among you.” Connection to the new year (2026) as a “new season” — a place we've not passed before. II. Two Extremes in the Life of Faith Extreme #1: People who think everything depends on God alone. Passive faith; no personal effort (e.g., expecting blessings without action). Extreme #2: People who think everything depends on themselves. Self-striving faith; no prayer or reliance on God. Balanced truth (Joshua 3:5): Human responsibility → “Sanctify yourselves.” Divine power → “The Lord will do wonders.” A biblical tension: God acts, but we prepare. III. Historical and Scriptural Context Israel at the Jordan River. On the threshold of the Promised Land after 40 years of wandering. Consequence of earlier unbelief and disobedience. The Ark of the Covenant. Symbol of God's presence and holiness. Instructions: follow it at a distance — reverence before a holy God. The Crossing. Jordan River in flood (½ mile wide); an impossible situation needing a miracle. Spiritual parallel for 2026. Represents transition into a new season filled with both blessings and unknowns. IV. Our Part: “Sanctify Yourselves” Meaning of consecration. To set apart, make holy, dedicate to God's purposes. Synonyms: sanctify, purify, make acceptable to God. Illustration: The church drums. Ordinary objects made sacred through dedicated purpose. Believers are called to the same — living for God's glory. Practical applications of consecration. Self-examination and repentance of sin. Renew commitment to God and His house. Live holy lives — avoid spiritual compromise. Commitment to consistent church involvement and ministry. Stop gossip, negativity, and complaining; unity and obedience bring blessings. Financial consecration: honor God with firstfruits. Lifestyle consecration: avoid ungodly influences; guard media and relationships. Relational accountability and transparency (illustrated through phone example). Personal humility and ongoing sanctification — asking God to search the heart. Examples of sacrifice and faith. Pastor's story about his wife leaving a high-paying law job to serve in ministry. Lesson: Consecration often means sacrifice, but God multiplies what's surrendered. V. God's Part: “The Lord Will Do Wonders” Nature of God's wonders. Miracles, provisions, and supernatural acts demonstrating His glory. Miracles reveal who God is, not just what He does. Hope from Scripture (Romans 15:4). Old Testament lessons written for our learning and to build hope. The same God who parted the Jordan acts today. Faith declaration for 2026. God calls what is not as though it were — the promises are already in motion. Prophetic declarations for the year: Growth in intimacy with God. Healing and restoration (“this sickness is not unto death”). A rising young generation with holy passion. God will rebuke the devourer. Restoration of faith to believe again. VI. Conclusion and Call to Response Call for the congregation to stand, receive, and respond in faith. Affirmation that their fasting and prayer were part of consecration. Encouragement that God will release blessings long awaited. Exhortation to pray, worship, and believe for God's wonders in 2026.

UPS galt jahrzehntelang als Synonym für Verlässlichkeit – beim Paketversand wie an der Börse. Doch hinter der braunen Fassade des US-Logistikriesen bröckelt es gewaltig. Marktanteile schmelzen dahin, Margen geraten unter Druck, und selbst die legendäre Dividende steht erstmals seit Jahrzehnten zur Disposition. Der Fall zeigt exemplarisch, wie selbst vermeintlich solide Cashflow-Maschinen in einem veränderten Umfeld an ihre Grenzen stoßen – und warum Anleger gut daran tun, Substanz und Stabilität nicht mit Trägheit zu verwechseln.

Karl and Erum sit down with Gabe Tavas, CEO and co-founder of Symmetry Wood, who is pioneering a revolutionary approach to wood production. Gabe shares his journey from design student to bio-innovator, inspired by his time volunteering in rural Ecuador where he witnessed the devastating impact of plastic waste. His company has developed Pyrus, the first solid wood made primarily from bacterial nanocellulose—specifically, waste from the world's largest kombucha brewery. Instead of logging endangered tropical hardwoods, Symmetry Wood is targeting the high-end guitar industry first, proving that biodesigned materials can meet the most demanding performance standards. Gabe discusses the technical challenges of working with living systems, the importance of starting with niche markets before scaling to mass production, and his vision for fab cities where wood and other materials are manufactured locally from urban waste.

"The atomic economy and Synonym's mission is to research, design and ship a working free market society. So not just a free market economy, but a free market society. /CUT/ So it replaces government, it replaces big tech, it replaces big banks, it replaces Visa, MasterCard, you know, everything. Everything you would want to do in a network is represented here as part of the economy."~ John Carvalho What happens when the drive to “scale Bitcoin” collides with the reality that trust itself may be the one thing that actually scales? In this conversation with John Carvalho, we dig into Synonym's vision for the “atomic economy” — a rethinking of how identity, payments, and data flow across the web. We talk about PubKey, PayKit, and the hard lessons of building and scrapping projects until they actually work. We pull apart the hype around Nostr, BlueSky, and Holepunch, and ask whether decentralization is enough or if we really just end up with new kinds of trusted hubs. Along the way, John shares candid thoughts on running a business, managing culture inside a startup, and the frustrations of navigating Bitcoin scaling debates. Is Bitcoin about removing trust — or about enabling us to place it more wisely? How do we build tools for coordination without creating new silos? And what does it really take to design a free-market society from the ground up? Check out our awesome sponsors! Ledn: Need fiat but don't want to sell your Bitcoin?

Well hey there, hello to ya today. Welcome to this special episode of The Burt (Not Ernie) Show, the podcast that takes God at His word, encourages listeners as they walk with the Lord, and boldly proclaims that all God's promises prove true. This is something of a re-launch of the podcast, as I have not recorded a new episode in about five months.  A lot of varying reasons for the long break, but now the show is back. So, let's jump right in!   We're living in an era when believers need a whole lot of encouragement, and when those who are considering Christianity want an honest look at what it means to be a Christian, a follower of Jesus. This episode is aimed at both of those goals. Followers and curious seekers alike. Let me read from the New Testament book of Luke, chapter 13, about four verses. Starting in verse 23, through verse 28. I'm reading from the Amplified Bible, so you can compare it to your preferred translation or read along in your Bible or in case you want to make note of different translations and versions and do some Bible study on this passage later on. All of those are really good things, by the way. Don't just take someone's word for it when it comes to what the Bible says, and of course that includes me. Read it for yourself anytime you want to, fact check me like crazy. Let God be true and every man, every woman, every person be a liar, Romans 3 verse 4 says. When it comes to teaching the Bible, we should be very comfortable having our sources checked. If anyone teaching God's word is not comfortable with that, something is very, very wrong. And in those situations, you may want to … run. (Not really kidding around with that advice.)    Here's what this passage says, verbatim, in the Amplified Bible:   Luke 13:23-27 Amplified Bible, Classic Edition 23 And someone asked Him, Lord, will only a few be saved (rescued, delivered from the penalties of the last judgment, and made partakers of the salvation by Christ)? And He said to them, 24 Strive to enter by the narrow door [force yourselves through it], for many, I tell you, will try to enter and will not be able. 25 When once the Master of the house gets up and closes the door, and you begin to stand outside and to knock at the door [again and again], saying, Lord, open to us! He will answer you, I do not know where [[a]what household—certainly not Mine] you come from. 26 Then you will begin to say, We ate and drank in Your presence, and You taught in our streets. 27 But He will say, I tell you, I do not know where [[b]what household—certainly not Mine] you come from; depart from Me, all you wrongdoers!   Okay, so if you're not familiar with the Amplified Bible, it is wordy. Because the Greek and the Hebrew of the New and Old Testaments often carry a depth of meaning in each word that is tricky to fully convey in the English language, different translations word things differently. The Amplified basically takes all the meanings of the text in the original language and adds them, usually in parentheses, which is why what I just read to you may have sounded choppy. Also, the Amplified capitalizes words like He, Him, Mine, etc. when it is talking about the Lord. And there are a few capitalized words in the text I just read.  Were I to leave out those extra words that are in parenthesis, it would read like this: And someone asked Him (that's a capital, so someone asked Jesus this question.) Lord, will only a few be saved. And He said to them, Strive to enter by the narrow door, for many, I tell you, will try to enter and will not be able. When once the Master (and that is capitalized, so it's talking about the Lord) of the house gets up and closes the door, and you begin to stand outside and to knock at the door, saying, Lord, open up to us! He will answer you, I do not know where you come from. Then you will begin to say, We ate and drank in Your presence, and You taught in our streets. But He will say (again, He is capitalized, so the Lord will say), I tell you I do not know where you come from; depart from Me, all you wrongdoers!    This is weighty. This is no joke. Jesus' answer to the question He was asked is heavy. This is serious stuff! “Will only a few be saved?” was the question. The ESV says, “Lord, will those who are saved be few?” Kind of a yes or no question. But Jesus was so good to expound upon this, to go beyond the short answer and give us all this important information as His answer. Now, back to studying the Amplified (and yes, it does require studying. Not sure when Bible “study”, in air quotes, began to not be studious. Study, the word tells us that it takes some effort, focus, and intention. If your Bible study group is not studying the Bible, you could be a person to kind of change that, to step off the merry-go-round of quick and easy answers, making a joke instead of really digging into the text, leading a group that goes through the Bible and studies it rather than maybe a small group that gets gossipy and talks about fashion and somewhat trashy shows on streaming. Y'all know what I'm talking about, and if you are new to Christianity and are shocked that I'm saying this, that's okay. A faith that can't hold up to some examination is, well, perhaps more cult-like than faith-in-Jesus like. Women's small groups are notorious for not doing enough actual Bible studying. New believers, keep searching for groups that do real Bible study and if you can't find a group, start a group.) So as we study this text in the Amplified, we find the Greek for the word saved in verse 23 has some depth to it. Lord, will only a few be saved? Rescued, delivered from the penalties of the last judgment, made partakers of the salvation by Christ. Yeah, a lot more depth there. This is about the very end of time, the last judgment. And that day, it's coming for all of us. If we say we love Jesus but we live like we're never going to stand before Him and have our lives examined, then we're probably not living for Him in our everyday lives. And notice it says made partakers of THE salvation by Christ. That little three letter word T-H-E…there is only one salvation and it is by Christ. That is almost certainly the most important thing I will ever say on the podcast, honestly. When it says strive to enter by the narrow door, the Amplified gives added depth by saying force yourself through it. Force yourself through the narrow door, the doorway to eternal salvation. Force yourself through it! Maybe, just maybe, this concept of raising your hand from your seat during a mega-conference altar call and then never opening your Bible, spending time in prayer, following Jesus as His disciple, just maybe that is nothing like forcing yourself through the narrow door. You know, we live in the very era when Jesus' return is at hand, and forcing ourselves through the narrow door that makes us partakers of THE salvation by Christ is the clarion call for this hour. Now is the time, my friend. This decision for Jesus should not be put off until another day. It shouldn't be put off for another hour! This is the time!  In this passage, when Jesus describes them knocking at the door again and again, like they are trying to beat that door down, the same narrow door that they did not force themselves through when they had the opportunity, trying to gain entry by incessant pounding on that door…and what will He say on that day? How will He respond to their knocking again and again? He'll say He does not know where they come from - from what household, because it's certainly not His. That's repeated twice, in verses 25 & 27. And in between, in verse 26, they implore Him by stating that they ate and drank in His presence…oh this is very convicting. How often are we “in His presence” and thinking that's good enough? They'll say, “You taught in our streets.” Is it going to get Him to open the door if you remind Him that He was taught about in your local church? Think about what this passage means for your own life. Are you ready for this day? Because it's coming, ready or not. I've said before that we need to get ready, be ready, and stay ready. Force yourself through that narrow door. Be on the inside when He shuts that door tight.    Just a few more thought I'd like to share on Luke chapter 13.  Verse 23 makes it super clear that this is about where a person will spend eternity. How many people in the year 2025 never even give a single thought to their eternal destination? We've been so desensitized, so conditioned to only think about this life, the here and now, focus on immediate gains, quick fixes, the current struggle and how to make that struggle end, and our own selves and “living in the moment” that thinking about forever does not really happen for so many people. Are you living for the moment, or are you living for forever? Does anyone stand on their platform, or ask their loved ones, if they know for certain they will be rescued, delivered from the penalties of the last judgment, made partakers of the salvation by Christ? Do I do that? Lord, what do You want to change in my heart, mind and life so that my focus turns from the temporal to the eternal, and so that I speak life - eternal life - over others?    Jesus' reply here,  and He minces no words, as was His norm, is: “Strive to enter by the narrow door”. I'm hitting on this again to share something that is important. The definition of strive is to “make great efforts to achieve or obtain something” - “struggle or fight vigorously”. It implies great exertion against great difficulty and specifically suggests persistent effort. Synonyms include “labor, toil, struggle, compete, exert oneself, and endeavor”.  Even a quick evaluation of those words reveals the heart behind Jesus' answer to the critically important question asked by an unidentified person in the thirteenth chapter of Luke. The Lord is telling us that getting on and remaining on the narrow road is anything but easy-street. And yet, is that what American Christianity so often teaches? Don't they make it seem as if a five-second prayer is all it takes in order to enter into eternal life with Jesus (think of those “Every head bowed and eye closed, and raise your hand and pray along with me if you want to be saved today” kinds of church moments…). But what if that's not exactly true? What if that is, say, step one of a long walk on the narrow road? And if the door itself is narrow, and we must force ourselves through it, as the Amplified says in verse 24, is that happening for most of us? Are we being discipled, are we discipling anybody else, are we students of the Word of God, are we spending time in prayer and listening for what the Holy Spirit might say to us? Have we forced ourselves through that narrow door? Have we encouraged anyone else to force themselves through the narrow door? Do we know the signs of the times well enough to recognize that there are just a few grains of sand left in the hourglass of all time?    Let me read this to you: Luke 14:25-35 New Living Translation The Cost of Being a Disciple 25 A large crowd was following Jesus. He turned around and said to them, 26 “If you want to be my disciple, you must, by comparison, hate everyone else—your father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters—yes, even your own life. Otherwise, you cannot be my disciple. 27 And if you do not carry your own cross and follow me, you cannot be my disciple.  28 “But don't begin until you count the cost. For who would begin construction of a building without first calculating the cost to see if there is enough money to finish it? 29 Otherwise, you might complete only the foundation before running out of money, and then everyone would laugh at you. 30 They would say, ‘There's the person who started that building and couldn't afford to finish it!' 31 “Or what king would go to war against another king without first sitting down with his counselors to discuss whether his army of 10,000 could defeat the 20,000 soldiers marching against him? 32 And if he can't, he will send a delegation to discuss terms of peace while the enemy is still far away. 33 So you cannot become my disciple without giving up everything you own. 34 “Salt is good for seasoning. But if it loses its flavor, how do you make it salty again? 35 Flavorless salt is good neither for the soil nor for the manure pile. It is thrown away. Anyone with ears to hear should listen and understand!”   Have you thought of discipleship like this? That being Jesus' disciple means you hate everyone else by comparison? This is serious stuff. Far more intense than is normally spoken about by pastors or preachers or speakers or the books down at the Better Book Room (Wichitans, you remember the BBR?) Do we hate our own life in contrast to being His disciple? Thinking about these words of Jesus' is a good reset for me. Why am I so continually concerned about my issues, my fears, my life, my stuff? It's just gross, and it is not fitting for a disciple of the Lord Jesus. Because if I don't hate my own life by comparison to being His disciple, then I cannot be His disciple. Point blank frankness right there. And if I do not carry my own cross and follow Him, I cannot be His disciple. So, how am I doing at hating my own life by comparison to His discipleship and am I carrying my own cross and following Him? It's a self test we all need to take every day.  Jesus says not to begin the path of being His disciple until we count the cost. Shouldn't that be mentioned during the altar call? I don't exactly know what this should look like, in every church or at every event, but I know enough to know that most of what takes place absolutely does not fit the model Jesus laid out for us here. We're getting it all wrong! And if we tell people it's all good, you raised your hand and never forced yourself through the narrow door, never counted the cost, never hated your life, never picked up your cross to follow Him…we are lying to them! He says we cannot become His disciple without giving up everything we own. I no longer have ownership rights over my life or my stuff or my health or my money or over people. Because I've giving all that up to become His disciple. Salt is good for seasoning, Jesus says. But if it loses its flavor, how do you make it salty again? How salty are you? Flavorless salt is good neither for the soil or the manure pile. Am I salty or am I not? Lord, give us ears to hear, so that we can listen and understand! Am I a student, a learner of Jesus? Do I understand that it's more than a head nod, a hand raised decision to follow Him - it's more than saying yes to His invitation. It's picking up my cross and following Him after saying yes. It's moving onward with Him, it is not standing still while He moves onward.  Think about carrying your cross. I think, maybe here in western culture, we don't exactly get the implication. It's difficult. It costs us something, every day that we carry it. But where are we carrying it to? Where is this carrying of my cross leading me? To a crucifixion, that's the only logical end point. Am I crucifying my flesh? Am I dying to myself, daily, of my own willing choice and volition, of course depending on the Spirit of the Living God within me because no one can do that on their own, but am I willing, does it ever even cross my mind? Am I picking up my cross today, carrying the heavy and thing closer and closer to my own death to self? Or am I not? Anybody that ever said Jesus' teachings were easy, well, they need to read the words in red again. Taking up our cross is a one-way journey. It's forcing ourselves through that narrow door.  Jesus carried a cross, and so do His disciples, His followers.  What kind of follower am I? Am I following but ready to peel off and go my own way when it gets uncomfortable for me personally? Have I counted the cost and decided that yes, I really can afford to follow Jesus?  In the following, the Lord does the fixing and the cleaning up of our lives. This is not Jesus saying we need to get it together before we follow Him. He says what He says, and it's not that. He simply needs His followers to know it's not the easy way out, the life of Christians. But He'll do His work of making us new as we follow Him day by day. It's costly either way, right? Follow Jesus? There's a cost. Reject Jesus? Oh, there's also a cost. That choice, well, it costs a pretty penny. Let Him become the owner of all we have. Our children, our finances, our health, all of it. It's only safe with Him anyway, so it's the best available choice, but we still need to make the choice consciously, weighing it out, understanding it. Let's not be like slimy used car salesmen who get people to pick up what we're laying down based on implications that this is the easy way to live out your days and then, wham, the bottom falls out and they feel like they got sold a lemon.  And if you say you follow Jesus, you profess to follow Him, but you lose your flavor somewhere along the way…you are no longer distinct enough to be clearly known as one of His disciples, well, that's the time you're fit for nothing but to be thrown out. A Christian should look like, think like, speak like, behave like, have the nature of Christ. Salt ought to be salty. A Christian ought to be like Christ Jesus.    The promise in Luke 13 and 14 is so worth it, though, isn't it? It's eternal life for now and forever. It's being on the inside when the door is closed. It's knowing that life, it's going to be hard at times, especially as we get nearer to the return of Jesus, it's going to get more intense, and following Him with saltiness may come with some costs that are not common to us here in America, but are becoming common at an astounding rate. But the hard life that ends in death without Jesus, that's the wide road, the wide door. The road ends somewhere for all of us. It's His promise that by picking up our cross, carrying it daily as we follow Him, staying salty all the way until the end, we get to go through the narrow door. Carry your cross today. Force yourself through the narrow door. Because He'll keep all His promises, and what's coming is going to knock your socks off. “He who endures to the end shall be saved.” Those are Jesus' words to us in Matthew 24:13. Indeed, that's a promise He's going to keep.   Thanks for joining me for this re-launch episode. I'm so grateful to be back on the podcast, and if this encouraged you or challenged you, would you share it with someone today? Lord bless you, and I'll see ya back here next time. Bye bye.
