How should Christians respond to these widespread cultural changes?  Rather than reacting with fear (that leads to either fighting the culture or fleeing from it), another hopeful option is available: the recovery of the Mission of God as a way to understand the Trinity, the Bible, the Church, our relationship to culture and the nature of Christian justice and witness.

How do we get comfortable in our own skin? What is faith and how can we strengthen it? Rabbi Schneider shares that God wants to manifest His power in our lives today. Most people live from the outside in, rather than the inside out. Paul teaches us to abide with the Holy Spirit inside our inner man, living life from the inside out, and not by getting our affirmation from the world outside us. Our identity and peace do not come from the world, but from God. Learn on today's episode of Discovering the Jewish Jesus that we can strengthen our faith by embracing the Holy Spirit within us. Faith is real, has power, and helps us to think God's thoughts. Faith casts out fear. When we know we are loved, protected, and can trust God's promises then we are loving and walk in love. The more we grow in Christ, the more we can love other people. **** BECOME A MONTHLY PARTNER - https://djj.show/YTAPartner   **** DONATE - https://djj.show/YTADonate  **** TEACHING NOTES -  https://djj.show/3q1   Visit our website at DiscoveringTheJewishJesus.com

How does God want us to pray? How can we pray for wisdom and revelation? Will God reveal your purpose? Rabbi Schneider shares how the apostles modeled prayer for us in the New Testament. We can learn to pray and believe that we will receive what we ask for, including purpose. If you have a living faith in Jesus and you're growing in walking in love, then this Apostolic prayer of Paul is for you. The most important questions in life are who am I, where am I going, and why am I here? Through prayers for wisdom and God's revelation, we can get a sense of who we are, why we're here, and our destiny. You are significant and God has a purpose for your life. **** BECOME A MONTHLY PARTNER - https://djj.show/YTAPartner  **** DONATE - https://djj.show/YTADonate  **** TEACHING NOTES - https://djj.show/e6g   Visit our website at DiscoveringTheJewishJesus.com

Gettin' Air with Blair Niblett. Dr. Niblett is Associate Professor in the School of Education at Trent University. This episode was brought to you by Trent University's Centre for Teaching and Learning. The CTL produces a wonderful monthly newsletter called Teaching Notes and February's newsletter is focused on care and kindness in education. We thought an interview with Dr. Niblett, whose scholarship has love and care in pedagogy at its core, would be just the thing to include. As such, Blair's journey to enact an ethic of care as a pedagogical paradigm is central to the discussion.
