Nearly everyone, if they could choose the way they die, would say they want to die warm in their bed, asleep. No pain. Just peace. But an even better choice would be not to die at all. That happened for two men in the Bible: Enoch and Elijah. They were just whisked away by YAHWEH. Why did they get this special treatment? Even Yeshua had to die. There are some who believe that this special exception to the Biblical precept that mortals are appointed to die once was also given to the Apostle John. Some believe that John never died and may still be among us.  Main theme: Crazy For Thrills by Muse Music with Groove Studios

Decades after christianity began, an unknown author completely changed scripture by penning a Greek tragedy about the messiah. So popular was his work that in spawned numerous rewrites and immitations during the subsequent decades. His biography of Jesus would set the stage for storytellers for the next 2000 years, and the amazing adventures of the miracle-working prophet would be expanded by later authors. But where did this anonymous author get the idea for his gospel? The apologist would say that it was passed down orally from eyewitnesses, but the truth is far more complex than that.

God is truth, God is love, and God is being itself. Today's Catechism readings begin to unpack the eternal nature of God and share with us God's “innermost secret." Fr. Mike teaches us that because God made us in his image and likeness, then we too are called to embody truth and love. Today's readings are Catechism paragraphs 212-221.

Welcome to Day 2787 of Wisdom-Trek. Thank you for joining me. This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to Wisdom. Day 2787 – Wisdom Nuggets – Psalm 108:10-13 – Daily Wisdom Wisdom-Trek Podcast Script - Day 2787 Welcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps! I am Guthrie Chamberlain, and we are on Day two thousand seven hundred eighty-seven 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 Divine Stomp – Storming the Gates of the Impossible.   Today, we arrive at the grand finale of our journey through Psalm One Hundred Eight. We are trekking through the final stanza, verses ten through thirteen, in the New Living Translation. In our previous trek, we stood in the War Room of Heaven. We heard the Divine Oracle in verses six through nine, where Yahweh looked at the map of the Middle East and claimed His territory. We heard Him declare, "Gilead is mine... Manasseh is mine... Moab is my washbasin... I will wipe my feet on Edom." It was a breathtaking assertion of ownership. We saw God claiming the hostile nations as His servants—His washpots and His shoe-racks. It was a moment of high theology and divine confidence. But today, the scene shifts from the map on the wall to the mud on the ground. In Psalm One Hundred Eight, verses ten through thirteen, King David takes that divine promise and tries to walk it out in the real world. And he immediately hits a wall—literally. He finds himself standing outside the "fortified city" of Edom. The map says Edom belongs to God. But the reality says Edom is locked up tight behind impregnable walls. This is where the rubber meets the road in our spiritual lives. It is one thing to sing about victory in the sanctuary; it is another thing to secure it on the battlefield. It is one thing to believe God owns the problem; it is another to see Him conquer it. In these final four verses, we will see the transition from Promise to Petition, and finally to Participation. We will learn that the only way to breach the fortified city is to abandon human strategies and rely on the Divine Warrior to do the trampling. So, let us draw our swords one last time and march toward the gate. The first segment is: The Crisis of Geography: The Impregnable City. Psalm One Hundred Eight: verse ten. Who will bring me into the fortified city? Who will bring me to Edom? The psalm moves from God's voice back to David's voice. And David has a logistical problem. God just said in verse nine: "I will wipe my feet on Edom."   David responds: "Okay, Lord. But who is going to get me inside?" "Who will bring me into the fortified city? Who will bring me to Edom?" To understand the weight of this question, we have to look at the geography. The ancient capital of Edom was Bozrah, and later Petra (Sela). Edom was legendary for its natural defenses. It was carved into the red sandstone cliffs. The only way in was through a narrow canyon called the Siq. It was a natural fortress that armies broke themselves against for centuries. It was the "Fortified City" (Ir Mibzar) par excellence. When David

We can learn a lot about the nature of God from his Divine Name revealed in Scripture. When God said to Moses, “I am who I am,” this was a revelation of a name as well as a refusal of a name. Fr. Mike explains how this mystery reveals truths about God: he is infinitely above all things; we cannot comprehend him, yet he draws close to us. This Divine Name expresses the steadfast, faithful, unchanging love of God for his people, even when we betray and abandon him. Today's readings are Catechism paragraphs 205-211.

Welcome to Day 2786 of Wisdom-Trek, and thank you for joining me. This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to Wisdom – Theology Thursday – The Unintended Consequences of Replacing Yahweh with “God” Wisdom-Trek Podcast Script - Day 2786 Welcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps!   I am Guthrie Chamberlain, and we are on Day 2786 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. Our current series of Theology Thursday lessons is written by theologian and teacher John Daniels. I have found that his lessons are short, easy to understand, doctrinally sound, and applicable to all who desire to learn more of God's Word. John's lessons can be found on his website   theologyinfive.com.   Today's lesson is titled The Unintended Consequences of Replacing Yahweh with “God”. In the pages of Scripture, the God of Israel reveals Himself by name, Yahweh, a name that marks His identity, His covenant, and His absolute uniqueness among all other spiritual beings. Yet somewhere in the history of Jewish and Christian tradition, this name was quietly replaced. Where once God was named, now He is merely titled. Yahweh became “the LORD.” Eventually, even “the LORD” gave way to “God,” a generic and universal term that can apply to almost any religious conception of the divine. What began as an effort to show reverence or accommodate translation has produced serious theological consequences. The loss of God's name has led to a distorted view of monotheism, erased key distinctions between Yahweh and other spiritual beings, and enabled poor apologetic compromises, such as the claim that “Allah is just the Arabic word for God.” It has also obscured the meaning of the First Commandment and weakened the Church's understanding of its own covenant relationship. This article traces how we got here and why recovering the name Yahweh is essential to restoring biblical clarity. The First Segment is: From Name to Title: How Yahweh Was Replaced. The divine name Yahweh (יהוה), also called the Tetragrammaton, appears over 6,800 times in the Hebrew Bible. In Exodus 3:15, God declares, “This is my name forever, and this is how I am to be remembered in every generation.” Yet despite this, a tradition developed during the Second Temple Period in which Jews refrained from pronouncing the divine name aloud. Instead, they substituted it with Adonai (“Lord”) during public readings. This practice, rooted in caution and reverence, carried over into Greek and Latin translations of the Bible. The Septuagint rendered Yahweh as Kyrios (“Lord”), and the Latin Vulgate followed suit with Dominus. English Bibles later preserved this substitution, using the stylized “LORD” in small caps, often without explaining to readers that a name was being replaced. As Christianity spread into the Gentile world, the name Yahweh virtually disappeared from common use. The God of the Bible came to be referred to simply as “God,” a word that is not a name at all, but a title. And not a unique title either, “God” can refer to any number of deities across religious systems or even to philosophical abstractions. In trying to show reverence or universality, the Church began to erase the very name by which the true God had distinguished Himself. The second segment is: The Problem with “God”: A Category, Not a Character This shift might seem minor, but it represents a profound theological error. In Hebrew, the word elohim is used to...

Who is the mysterious “Angel of the LORD” who keeps showing up all over the Old Testament—and why does he talk, act, and receive worship as if he is God Himself? In this episode, Joshua Lewis walks through key Old Testament passages to argue that the Angel of the LORD is not a created angel at all, but the pre-incarnate Son of God, Jesus Christ, appearing long before Bethlehem.From Hagar in the wilderness, to Abraham on Mount Moriah, to Moses at the burning bush, to Gideon in the wine press, these Old Testament stories form a consistent pattern: this Angel carries the divine name, makes covenant promises, swears by Himself, declares “I am the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob,” accepts worship and sacrifice, and is recognized as Yahweh—with no correction from Scripture. Josh carefully exegetes key passages like Genesis 16, Genesis 22, Exodus 3, and Judges 6, showing how the biblical authors themselves move seamlessly between “the Angel of the LORD” and “Yahweh,” presenting one divine being in more than one person.Along the way, we explore how this fits within Christian theology, biblical prophecy, and the developing revelation of the Trinity. How can God the Father be “invisible” and yet God is repeatedly seen in the Old Testament? How does the New Testament's teaching that the Son is “the image of the invisible God” resolve this tension? And what does it mean for spiritual warfare, for covenant, and for our reading of the entire Bible if Jesus has been present and active in redemptive history from the very beginning?If you're hungry for a deeper dive into Christian theology, Old Testament theophanies, and the identity of the Angel of the LORD as the pre-incarnate Christ, this episode will help you see Jesus woven all through the story of Israel - speaking, saving, commissioning, judging, forgiving, and revealing the Father long before the incarnation.00:00 – The Mystery of the Angel of the LORD Introduced01:55 – The Angel of the LORD as the Pre-Incarnate Son of God (Thesis)02:14 – Genesis 16: The Angel of the LORD Appears to Hagar06:13 – Genesis 22: The Angel swears by Himself to Abraham09:08 – Exodus 3: The Angel in the Burning Bush12:11 – Judges 6: The Angel Commissions Gideon17:56 – Summary: What the Angel Does Only God Can Do18:47 – The Son as the Image of the Invisible God20:06 – Jesus Has Always Been Present in God's Story Subscribe to The Remnant Radio newsletter and receive our FREE introduction to spiritual gifts eBook.

Welcome to Day 2785 of Wisdom-Trek. Thank you for joining me. This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to Wisdom. Day 2785 – Wisdom Nuggets – Psalm 108:6-9 – Daily Wisdom Wisdom-Trek Podcast Script - Day 2785 Welcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps! I am Guthrie Chamberlain, and we are on Day two thousand seven hundred eighty-five 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 Divine Cartography – God Claims His Geography. Today, we are back on the trail, continuing our exploration of the "Warrior Poet's Remix," Psalm One Hundred Eight. We are trekking through the middle section, verses six through nine, in the New Living Translation. In our previous trek through the first five verses of this psalm, we heard the sound of a "fixed heart." We watched King David wake the dawn with his lyre and declare that God's love is higher than the heavens. We saw him take an old song of lament (from Psalm Fifty-seven) and remix it into a new anthem of confidence. He ended that section with a cosmic prayer: "Be exalted, O God, above the highest heavens. May your glory shine over all the earth." Today, the scene shifts from the cosmic to the concrete. David moves from singing about the stars to looking at a map. He moves from the "heavens" to the dirt and rock of the Middle East. In verses six through nine, we hear God Himself speak. It is a divine oracle spoken from the Holy Sanctuary. In this oracle, Yahweh acts like a victorious General standing over a map of the ancient Near East. He points to specific territories—Shechem, Succoth, Gilead, Moab, Edom, Philistia—and claims them as His own. He essentially says, "This belongs to Me. And this belongs to Me. And that over there? That is just My washbasin." This is a powerful assertion of Divine Ownership. In the Ancient Israelite worldview, where nations were believed to be owned by their respective gods (Chemosh for Moab, Milcom for Ammon), Yahweh is declaring that He is the Landlord of everything. He is redrawing the borders and reclaiming the inheritance for His people. So, let us stand in the war room and listen to the strategy of the King. The first segment is: The Prayer for Rescue: The Right Hand of Power. Psalm One Hundred Eight: verse six. Now rescue your beloved people. Answer and save us by your power. Before the oracle begins, David offers a short, sharp prayer. This acts as the bridge between the praise of the first five verses and the prophecy that follows. "Now rescue your beloved people. Answer and save us by your power." The literal Hebrew here is quite evocative: "That Your beloved ones may be delivered; Save with Your right hand, and answer me!" First, notice the identity of the people. David calls them "Your beloved people" (yedid-echa). This comes from the same root as the name Jedidiah (which was Solomon's name given by God, meaning "Beloved of Yahweh"). This is crucial for our confidence in prayer. David doesn't appeal to God based on Israel's military strength or their moral perfection. He appeals to God's affection. "Lord, these are the ones You love. Therefore, rescue them." Second, notice the method...

SCRIPTURE: Revelation 19:1-16SHOW NOTES: For encouragement on your spiritual journey, we invite you to visit our ministry website, Discover God's Truth, where you can access additional resources to enrich your Walk with God. Over the past few weeks, we have studied several Hymns of Praise in the book of Revelation, written by John, the beloved disciple. The opening verses in chapter 19 begin with the great multitude in heaven, the twenty-four elders, and the four living creatures offering praise and worship to our God. After this, I heard what seemed to be the loud voice of a great multitude in heaven, crying out, “Hallelujah! Salvation and glory and power belong to our God, for his judgments are true and just.” … And from the throne came a voice saying, “Praise our God, all you his servants, you who fear him, small and great.” - Revelation 19:1-2, 5 The English word “hallelujah” comes from a Greek term, which itself transliterates the Hebrew halle-lu-yah, meaning “Praise unto Yahweh.” This transliteration only appears here in the New Testament in verses 1, 3, 4, and 6. There is also rejoicing because the “wedding of the Lamb has come, and his bride has made herself ready.” This contrasts with the prostitute and her immoral lovers mentioned in previous chapters, featuring the Lamb and his pure bride in “fine linen, bright and clean.” The great vision, beginning in verse 11, shifts between Old Testament references and earlier mentions of Christ in Revelation. Christ will keep His word, because He is the Word of God. He is faithful & true! Then I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse! The one sitting on it is called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he judges and makes war. His eyes are like a flame of fire, and on his head are many diadems, and he has a name written that no one knows but himself. He is clothed in a robe dipped in blood, and the name by which he is called is The Word of God. Revelation 19:11-13 SONG: "The Lord Almighty Reigns" - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2TdEZXPuKOo&t=12s

What’s in a name? What’s in a divine name? There are numerous names for God in the Old Testament, including Yahweh, Jehovah, and the Lord. Where do these come from? It’s all connected to how God reveals Himself in chapter 3 of Genesis. Cale discusses this and more in this episode of the Exodus series on the Faith Explained.

Episode 2.77How does God give victory—and what happens when His people forget who the battle belongs to?In this episode, Michael and Zach walk through Joshua 5:13–12:24, the heart of Israel's conquest of the Promised Land. Beginning with Joshua's encounter with the Commander of the LORD's army, the episode makes a crucial point: Joshua never wins by strategy or strength—God fights for His people.From the fall of Jericho to the defeat at Ai, the text shows that victory depends on obedience and dependence, not confidence or cleverness. The sin of Achan reveals the seriousness of God's holiness and the corporate weight of covenant faithfulness. The covenant renewal at Mount Ebal reminds listeners that conquest is never separated from worship and God's Word.The episode also addresses difficult questions—divine judgment, total warfare, archaeology, and the justice of God—while keeping the focus where Joshua does: Yahweh as Divine Warrior, Judge, and Promise-Keeper. Even as Israel “takes the land,” the book makes clear that the victory is partial, pointing forward to a greater rest still to come.Joshua isn't about how great Israel was—it's about how faithful God is, even when His people stumble.Find our videocast here: https://youtu.be/RSksvCyu3zMMerch here: https://take-2-podcast.printify.me/Music from #Uppbeat (free for Creators!):⁠https://uppbeat.io/t/reakt-music/deep-stone⁠License code: 2QZOZ2YHZ5UTE7C8Find more Take 2 Theology content at http://www.take2theology.com

Love and Torah – what's love got to do with it? This study series is based on the “Two Great Commands” – love Yahweh and love your neighbor. Continuing in Ephesians 5, Rabbi Steve Berkson reveals the “two main areas of our existence.” This concept has much to do with the meaning of our existence and how we treat each other, according to scripture. From verse 13, the word “reprove” or “convicted” is further defined, at the request of many. What are the fruits of darkness? (verse 11) What did Paul mean when he wrote, “wake up, you who sleep”? (verse 14) To whom was he referring? How does one do that? How can you know if you're one of those who need to wake up? How does Elohim expect us to walk before Him? (verse 15) Rabbi Berkson clarifies what it means to walk “exactly.” To what are we compared if we do or don't “walk exactly”? Many ask Rabbi Berkson if he would take them “deeper” in their walk. Their definition of “deeper” is somewhat different, so he corrects and redefines what “deeper” really means. Do you know when you actually have a problem or just an undesirable challenge? Rabbi Berkson brings much-needed wisdom to this topic that just might give you some relief. Do you know what the phrase “redeem the time” refers to? Rabbi Berkson once again dissects the words in these passages so that you will have a deeper understanding of what Yah expects of you, so that you can do it and receive the blessings.

God appears to Moses through a burning bush and reveals His name to him – Yahweh. That name becomes incredibly important during the life and ministry of Jesus, who claims deity. What will Moses hear from the Lord? Let's dive into Exodus 3 together!

Come journey with me to the cosmos and engage Yahweh

Joseph's life illustrates that an unshakeable commitment to Yahweh, coupled with integrity, assures prosperity and favor, even through profound betrayal, slavery, and unjust imprisonment. Joseph consistently chose an ethical path, making the best of every situation without bitterness, always crediting Yahweh for his success, ultimately rising from a slave to great authority.

Come journey to the Cosmos with Yahweh

Pastor Nick preaches the final part of Moses's encounter with Yahweh at the burning bush. Despite his fears and doubts, God shows His prophet great mercy and patience, but will not allow him to run away from his calling. 

In this mind-expanding interview, I sit down with Paul Wallis to decode the Bible through a radically different lens: not as “God stories,” but as layered accounts of power, colonization, and ancient control systems. We explore the chilling warning in the Hebrew scriptures about what happens when a “human king” takes power—taxation, servitude, confiscation, and fear-based governance—and why Paul argues these patterns mirror the same domination playbook repeated throughout history. From global “dragon stories” and their strikingly consistent themes (terror, tribute, and societal subjugation) to real-world moments where solidarity dissolved tyranny, Paul maps an unexpected thread of social progress hidden in plain sight. We also dive into “vested objects”—crowns, scepters, the Stone of Scone, and biblical artifacts like the Ark of the Covenant, the Nehushtan, and the Urim & Thummim—examining how symbols and technologies can carry authority, and what it means if later generations no longer understood how these devices actually worked. If you're curious about paleo-contact interpretations, mistranslations like “Yahweh” and “Elohim,” and the deeper political education embedded in ancient texts, this conversation will challenge your assumptions and expand your perspective.

Welcome to Day 2782 of Wisdom-Trek. Thank you for joining me. This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to Wisdom. Day 2782 – Wisdom Nuggets – Psalm 107:33-43 – Daily Wisdom Wisdom-Trek Podcast Script - Day 2782 Welcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps! I am Guthrie Chamberlain, and we are on Day two thousand seven hundred eighty-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 Reversal – When Princes Wander and the Poor Become Princes Today, we reach the summit of Psalm One Hundred Seven. We are exploring the final section, verses thirty-three through forty-three, in the New Living Translation. In our previous treks through this magnificent psalm, we listened to the testimonies of the redeemed. We stood in the congregation of the faithful and heard four distinct groups shout, "Let them praise the Lord for his great love!" We heard the Wanderers who found a city.   We heard the Prisoners whose chains were snapped.   We heard the Fools who were healed by God's sent Word.   And we heard the Sailors who saw the storm turned into a whisper. All of these stories had a common plotline: Human desperation meets Divine Intervention. They were stories of rescue. But as we enter the final movement of the psalm today, the camera angle changes. The psalmist stops telling individual stories and begins to describe the cosmic principles behind those stories. He moves from biography to theology. He shows us that the God of Israel is the God of the Great Reversal. He is a God who does not just maintain the status quo; He actively flips the world upside down. He turns gardens into deserts and deserts into gardens. He throws princes into the mud and lifts the beggar to the throne. This section reveals Yahweh's absolute sovereignty over Cosmic Geography and Political Power. It teaches us that our environment—whether we are in a season of drought or abundance—is not accidental. It is governed by the hand of the King. And finally, the psalm ends with a challenge to the "Wise." It asks us if we have the eyes to see the patterns of God's love in the chaos of history. So, let us open our eyes to the reversals of God. The first segment is: The Sovereignty Over Geography: The Curse of the Salt. Psalm One Hundred Seven: verses thirty-three through thirty-four. He turns rivers into a desert, flowing springs into thirsty ground,  and fruitful land into salty wastelands, because of the wickedness of those who live there. The psalmist begins by asserting God's power to de-create. "He turns rivers into a desert, flowing springs into thirsty ground..." In the Ancient Israelite worldview, water was life. A land with rivers and springs was a land blessed by God—it was Edenic. But here, the psalmist says that God has the authority to withdraw that life. He can turn a paradise into a "desert" (midbar). This is not just climate change; it is judgment. "...and...

When God tells you something, it's already done. The manifestation is just waiting for you to catch up. In “The 10-Day Challenge,” Pastor Don Johnson examines Daniel 1:8-17, where Daniel and his friends refuse to defile themselves with the king's meat — food sacrificed to idols. After being taken captive to Babylon, these chosen young men faced indoctrination into a pagan system designed to change their thinking and behavior. Yet Daniel stood firm, requesting vegetables and water instead. Pastor Don reveals that sometimes attacks come because you've been chosen. The enemy tries to neutralize your fighting ability by getting you comfortable with compromise. Daniel's refusal wasn't about superiority. It was about integrity and alignment with God's word. After 10 days, Daniel and his friends looked better and more nourished than those who ate the king's food, proving God's faithfulness. This Wednesday Night Bible Study challenges us to get comfortable being uncomfortable and to keep fighting even when we don't feel like it, recognizing that this is spiritual warfare between Yahweh and false gods. Your spiritual responsibility matters as much as God's divinity. Message: “The 10-Day Challenge” Speaker: Pastor Don Johnson Scripture: Daniel 1:8-17 Date: Jan. 21, 2026 ✨ Welcome to Your Moment of Transformation You don't have to walk this journey alone. Let Jesus guide your steps and fill your life with purpose and peace.

The episode that's been a long time coming: Can Christians do yoga? We dive into the full range of opinions—from "yoga is evil" to "yoga is amazing"—and invite you to lay down fear, judgments, and pre-made decisions. Whether you're curious, have a personal story, or are wrestling with this question, this conversation is for you. Can Christians walk into a yoga studio? Should they? What does the history of yoga tell us? Do the postures themselves "open you up" spiritually? Why the fear often centers on the body—and why that's missing the bigger picture. Key Themes Explored: God created our bodies in the beginning—for reaching, bending, moving, stretching, running, and being free. The body belongs to Yahweh, the one true God. Your body is not something you have; it's who you are. And your body is the place where God lives. "I'm saying—Come out, be separate, but bring your body with you. Don't be afraid of your body. Your body is the place God lives." We're not afraid of stretching. We're called to freedom: Your body was bought at a price (1 Corinthians 6:19-20), so use it to bring glory to God. Movement reflects God's creative brilliance—just look at how the body responds to stretching and exercise. When we become afraid of our bodies, we separate from His perfect love (1 John 4:18), and the body becomes an object instead of a temple. Scripture Highlights: Colossians 1 John 1 1 Corinthians 6:19 2 Chronicles 7:3 Psalm 138 Nehemiah 9:5 1 John 4:18 Romans 14 Acts 17:28 2 Timothy 1:7 1 Timothy 4:8 We address the tough questions: Can yoga be dangerous? Can postures open us up to worshipping false gods? Why is a religious heart sometimes rooted in fear? The call to be informed, wise, and reconciled to Christ. The Big Picture: God loves bodies. Movement belongs to Jesus. The body is an instrument of praise. Let's honor Him by stewarding our bodies well, without fear, and with discernment.

When God tells you something, it's already done. The manifestation is just waiting for you to catch up. In “The 10-Day Challenge,” Pastor Don Johnson examines Daniel 1:8-17, where Daniel and his friends refuse to defile themselves with the king's meat — food sacrificed to idols. After being taken captive to Babylon, these chosen young men faced indoctrination into a pagan system designed to change their thinking and behavior. Yet Daniel stood firm, requesting vegetables and water instead. Pastor Don reveals that sometimes attacks come because you've been chosen. The enemy tries to neutralize your fighting ability by getting you comfortable with compromise. Daniel's refusal wasn't about superiority. It was about integrity and alignment with God's word. After 10 days, Daniel and his friends looked better and more nourished than those who ate the king's food, proving God's faithfulness. This Wednesday Night Bible Study challenges us to get comfortable being uncomfortable and to keep fighting even when we don't feel like it, recognizing that this is spiritual warfare between Yahweh and false gods. Your spiritual responsibility matters as much as God's divinity. Message: “The 10-Day Challenge” Speaker: Pastor Don Johnson Scripture: Daniel 1:8-17 Date: Jan. 21, 2026 ✨ Welcome to Your Moment of Transformation You don't have to walk this journey alone. Let Jesus guide your steps and fill your life with purpose and peace.

Today as we study Exodus 3, we'll see that from a human perspective, Moses' exile looked like the end of the line for him; and yet it was part of God's plan for Moses, and ultimately the Lord's people. Join us for this encouraging study in God's power, grace and redemption! DISCUSSION AND STUDY QUESTIONS: 1.    How old is Moses in verse 1? How old was Abraham when the Lord called him from Ur? What does this tell us about God's plans for the wise and elderly people of our world?  2.    What was Moses doing for work in verse 1? How did the Egyptians view shepherds in Genesis 46:34? What do you think it would have been like doing something viewed this way by the surrounding culture?  3.    What is "Horeb" in verse 3?  4.    How did the Lord appear to Moses in verse 2? Where are some other places that God is referred to in this way? What does this represent? 5.    What did the podcasts suggest as to possible reasons that God has created so much fire in this universe?   6.    What was Moses' response to the Angel of the Lord in verse 6?  7.    What was the Lord aware of in verse 7? How might this encourage us when we go through difficulties in our own lives?  8.    In verse 8, the Lord tells Moses that He is going to bring His people to the Promised Land. According to verse 8, who was dwelling there at this time? What did that mean for Moses and the people?  9.    What was the underlying issue for Moses when he protests God's call in verse 11?  10.    What did Moses need to know, in verse 12, in order to go forward in obedience to God?  11.    What does the name "I am who I am" mean in verse 13? What did the podcast say as to why some people pronounce the name "Yahweh" as "Jehovah"?  12.    Overall, what was the Lord's mandate to Moses? In what ways is this like His mandate for our lives today?  Check out our Bible Study Guide on the Key Chapters of Genesis! Available on Amazon just in time for the Genesis relaunch in January!

The episode that's been a long time coming: Can Christians do yoga? We dive into the full range of opinions—from "yoga is evil" to "yoga is amazing"—and invite you to lay down fear, judgments, and pre-made decisions. Whether you're curious, have a personal story, or are wrestling with this question, this conversation is for you. Can Christians walk into a yoga studio? Should they? What does the history of yoga tell us? Do the postures themselves "open you up" spiritually? Why the fear often centers on the body—and why that's missing the bigger picture. Key Themes Explored: God created our bodies in the beginning—for reaching, bending, moving, stretching, running, and being free. The body belongs to Yahweh, the one true God. Your body is not something you have; it's who you are. And your body is the place where God lives. "I'm saying—Come out, be separate, but bring your body with you. Don't be afraid of your body. Your body is the place God lives." We're not afraid of stretching. We're called to freedom: Your body was bought at a price (1 Corinthians 6:19-20), so use it to bring glory to God. Movement reflects God's creative brilliance—just look at how the body responds to stretching and exercise. When we become afraid of our bodies, we separate from His perfect love (1 John 4:18), and the body becomes an object instead of a temple. Scripture Highlights: Colossians 1 John 1 1 Corinthians 6:19 2 Chronicles 7:3 Psalm 138 Nehemiah 9:5 1 John 4:18 Romans 14 Acts 17:28 2 Timothy 1:7 1 Timothy 4:8 We address the tough questions: Can yoga be dangerous? Can postures open us up to worshipping false gods? Why is a religious heart sometimes rooted in fear? The call to be informed, wise, and reconciled to Christ. The Big Picture: God loves bodies. Movement belongs to Jesus. The body is an instrument of praise. Let's honor Him by stewarding our bodies well, without fear, and with discernment.

Welcome to Day 2780 of Wisdom-Trek. Thank you for joining me. This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to Wisdom. Day 2780 – Wisdom Nuggets – Psalm 107:17-32 – Daily Wisdom Wisdom-Trek Podcast Script - Day 2780 Welcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps! I am Guthrie Chamberlain, and we are on Day two thousand seven hundred eighty 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 of today's Wisdom-Trek is: The Great Rescue – Healing the Fool and Taming the Chaos. Today, we continue our voyage through the magnificent Psalm One Hundred Seven. We are exploring the second half of the four great testimonies of redemption, covering verses seventeen through thirty-two, in the New Living Translation. In our previous trek through the first sixteen verses of this psalm, we stood amidst the great assembly of the redeemed. We heard the call: "Has the Lord redeemed you? Then speak out!" We heard the testimony of the Wanderers—those who were lost in the desolate wilderness, hungry and homeless, until God led them to a city. We heard the testimony of the Prisoners—those who sat in darkness and iron chains because they rebelled against the counsel of the Most High, until God shattered the bronze gates to set them free. Today, two more groups step forward to the microphone. Their stories are perhaps even more intense. First, we will meet the Fools—those whose rebellion manifested not as chains, but as a sickness that brought them to the very brink of the grave. Second, we will meet the Sailors—the merchants who dared to do business in the chaotic deep, only to find themselves reeling like drunkards in a storm that swallowed their wisdom whole. In both cases, we will see the Hesed—the Unfailing Love—of Yahweh intervene when all hope was lost. We will see Him send His Word to heal, and we will see Him whisper to the waves to bring peace. So, let us listen as the next witnesses share their story of salvation. The first segment is: Testimony Three: The Fools and the Great Physician. Psalm One Hundred Seven: verses seventeen through nineteen. Some were fools; they suffered because of their sinful ways.  Their appetites were gone, and they drew near to the gates of death.  "Lord, help!" they cried in their trouble, and he saved them from their distress. The third group steps forward, and the psalmist introduces them with a blunt, uncomplimentary title: "Fools." "Some were fools; they suffered because of their sinful ways." The Hebrew word used here is evilim. In the wisdom literature of Proverbs, a fool is not someone who lacks intelligence; a fool is someone who lacks moral compass. A fool is someone who lives as if there are no consequences. They are spiritually reckless. The text tells us plainly that their suffering was self-inflicted. It was "because of their sinful ways" (literally, "the way of their transgression"). They lived hard, rebelled against God's design for life,...

In this episode we explore The Theophanic Replacement Protocol, a forensic model explaining the formation of normative Christian orthodoxy through a coordinated, multi-phase program of theological, literary, and physical overwriting. Central to this model is the spiritual identity theft of God Our Father. The persona of “Yahweh” - characterized by violence, tribalism, and conditional law - was systematically grafted onto the biography of the true God of grace revealed by Jesus. Our roundtable discusses five evidentiary strata: 1) The traditio-historical datum of the 29 AD Eclipse-Seismic Theophany; 2) The textual witness of the primitive Evangelion and Apostolikon; 3) A characterological antithesis proving Yahweh's incompatibility with the Father; 4) The material evidence of the Diocletian Persecution's targeted destruction; and 5) The archival dependency of later orthodoxy on Marcionite sources. We also discuss how the Protocol culminated in a Damnatio Memoriae against the primary stratum, erasing its physical texts and memory, allowing a synthetic, Yahwistic Christianity to emerge as the sole historical narrative.Notes:Journal of Pre-Nicene Christian Studieshttps://journal.pre-nicene.org/TheophanicReplacementProtocol.htmlISSN: 3068-8469 December, 2025DOI: https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.17964659ReferencesBarnes, T.

Episode 2.75What does it really take for God's people to step into His promises?In this episode, Michael and Zach walk through Joshua 1:1–5:15, tracing Israel's crossing of the Jordan and uncovering how the text teaches faith, obedience, and remembrance. Along the way, they slow down on two pivotal moments: Rahab's unexpected confession of Yahweh and the miraculous crossing of the Jordan at flood stage.Rather than reading Joshua as simple conquest history, this episode highlights the book's theological depth. A carefully placed chiasm centers the story on Rahab's confession—showing that faith, not ethnicity or status, marks those who belong to God. The Jordan crossing then echoes the Exodus, confirming that the same God who redeemed Israel from bondage now brings them into rest and inheritance.The episode also explores why God commands Israel to pause and remember—setting up memorial stones not just to defeat enemies, but to guard against forgetfulness. Before a single battle is fought, God emphasizes covenant faithfulness, dependence on His presence, and obedience rooted in trust.Joshua's message is clear: victory comes not from strength or strategy, but from a people who believe God's promises, remember His works, and follow where He leads—even when the waters are at their highest.Find our videocast here: https://youtu.be/MEUpus3Cu5MMerch here: https://take-2-podcast.printify.me/Music from #Uppbeat (free for Creators!):⁠https://uppbeat.io/t/reakt-music/deep-stone⁠License code: 2QZOZ2YHZ5UTE7C8Find more Take 2 Theology content at http://www.take2theology.com

A SECOND CENTURY PLOT by rabbis to desupernaturalize the Hebrew scriptures has given us the English Old Testament we have today. Why did the rabbis do it? How do we know what's been changed? Does this mean we can't trust the Bible? It's an important and touch subject. To discuss it is our panel, Doug Van Dorn (DouglasVanDorn.com), author of this month's topic, the forthcoming book Battle for the Bible's Truth: Genesis, Jesus, and the Second Century Plot to Deny the Messiah; Brian Godawa (Godawa.com), best-selling author of the theological thriller Cruel Logic, and two new novels based on the period of the Maccabees in Judea; and Dr. Judd Burton (BurtonBeyond.net), author of Interview With the Giant. In a nutshell, influential rabbis in the second century tried to keep Jews from finding evidence in their scriptures for the Christian Messiah, Jesus of Nazareth. This followed the Bar Kokhba Revolt (132–135 AD) in which Christians, who had previously been part of the Jewish community, refused to fight for Simon Bar Kokhba, who Rabbi Akiba had declared was the Messiah. Roman punishment for Jewish rebels was harsh. Judaea was depopulated, with Jews being sold into slavery en masse, and the province was renamed Palestine. It was the only time Rome tried to erase a population from history. The hard feelings between Jews and Christians led to a final split between the faiths with rabbis trying to eliminate evidence for a “second power in heaven”—Yahweh in the flesh, namely Jesus—and Christians blaming Jews for the unrest and rebellion that stirred up so much trouble for the Roman Empire. That animosity continues to this day. We discuss the implications of the rabbis' plot, how it affected our modern Old Testament translations, and where we can go to find what's been changed—beginning with Genesis 6:1–4, the infamous verses about the creation of the Nephilim. And no, this does not mean we can no longer trust our Bibles. What was changed is subtle, and the prophecies of the coming Messiah, and his return, are still there. Follow us!

Welcome to Day 2778 of Wisdom-Trek. Thank you for joining me. This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to Wisdom. Day 2778 – Wisdom Nuggets – Psalm 107:1-16 – Daily Wisdom Wisdom-Trek Podcast Script - Day 2778 Welcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps! I am Guthrie Chamberlain, and we are on Day two thousand seven hundred seventy-eight 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 Gathering – From the Wasteland to the Broken Gates.   Today, we cross a major threshold in our expedition through the Psalms. We are stepping into Book Five of the Psalter, the final collection of these ancient songs. We begin this new leg of the journey with Psalm One Hundred Seven, covering the first two stanzas, verses one through sixteen, in the New Living Translation. To understand the power of this moment, we must remember where we left off. In our previous trek, we stood at the end of Psalm One Hundred Six, which was the conclusion of Book Four. That psalm ended with a desperate, heartbreaking prayer from the exile: "Save us, O Lord our God! Gather us back from among the nations." It was a cry from the diaspora, a plea from a people scattered to the four winds because of their rebellion. They were asking God to reverse the judgment of the exile. Psalm One Hundred Seven is the thunderous answer to that prayer. If Psalm One Hundred Six ended with a plea to be gathered, Psalm One Hundred Seven begins with the celebration of the gathered. The tone shifts from petition to proclamation. It is a panoramic view of God's Redemption. It describes specific scenarios of human desperation—being lost in the desert, locked in a dungeon, sick unto death, or tossed in a storm—and shows how Yahweh intervenes to rescue. It is a psalm that celebrates the Hesed—the Unfailing Love—of God, which pursues us into the wildest wastelands and the darkest prisons. So, let us join the procession of the redeemed and listen to their stories. The first segment is: The Prologue: The Song of the Redeemed. Psalm One Hundred Seven: verses one through three. Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good! His faithful love endures forever.  Has the Lord redeemed you? Then speak out! Tell others he has redeemed you from your enemies.  For he has gathered the exiles from many lands, from east and west, from north and south. The psalm opens with the classic liturgical call to worship, identifying the core motivation for all praise: God is Good, and His Faithful Love (Hesed) is eternal. But then, the psalmist turns to the congregation and issues a challenge: "Has the Lord redeemed you? Then speak out!" The Hebrew word for "Redeemed" is Geulim. It comes from the word Ga'al, which refers to the Kinsman-Redeemer. This was the nearest male relative who had the legal responsibility to buy back a family member who had been sold into...

Love and Torah – what's love got to do with it? This study series is based on the “Two Great Commands” – love Yahweh and love your neighbor. In Ephesians 5, Rabbi Steve Berkson continues teaching us how to love each other. Stopping at verse 1, he expounds on becoming imitators of Elohim as dear children. In verse 2, we are exhorted to walk in love as the Messiah also loved us, giving ourselves to others as a gift to Elohim. Do you want to send up a “sweet-smelling aroma” to Yahweh? Learn to serve others. In verses 3 and 4, we see a list of behaviors that should not even be named among the Body of Messiah. Rabbi Berkson takes some time to clarify one of those behaviors – uncleanness. • What do these behaviors have to do with loving each other? In verse 5, there is something we are expected to know – what is it we should know? Why should we know it? In verse 6, Rabbi Berkson asks why Paul would write about “empty words”. What are they? Why are we cautioned about them? How have some teachers misconstrued the meaning of “empty words”? How do they affect our inheritance in the Kingdom of Elohim? In verses 7-10, Rabbi Berkson asks, “Who are you trying to please?” Rabbi Berkson once again dissects the words in these passages so that you will have a deeper understanding of what Yah expects of you, so that you can do it and receive the blessings.

What’s in a name? Well, when the name is the LORD’s Name… a LOT! In this episode, we explain some of the significance of the Lord’s Name, Yahweh (or is it Jehovah?), and why knowing the Lord’s Name leads us into a deeper relationship of faith.

Jehu was God's weapon of judgment upon Ahab and Jezebel. He carried out his mission with intensity and zeal. Although God has not called the church to violence, we should, nevertheless, imitate Jehu's zeal in our mission to love. 1 Kings 16:30-33 Ahab did more to provoke God to anger than all the kings of Israel who came before him. He introduced and sponsored the worship of Canaanite gods, including Baal and Asherah. His wife, Jezebel of Sidon, was a religious zealot who relentlessly persecuted the prophets of Yahweh, including Elijah (1 Kgs. 19:2). 1 Kings 21:5-7 When righteous Naboth refused to sell his vineyard to Ahab, Jezebel took matters into her own hands. After she had Naboth executed, Ahab took possession of his neighbor's plot. 1 Kings 19:15-17; 21:19-29 God ordained that Jehu become king instead of Ahab. This Jehu would be God's weapon of vengeance upon Ahab's house. 2 Kings 9:4-13 After a young prophet anointed the military commander, Jehu, king, his officers immediately supported his bid for the throne. 2 Kings 9:30-31 Jehu first confronted and the reigning king Joram, Ahab's son. Then he came for Jezebel. Next, he arranged for the death of all Ahab's seventy sons. 2 Kings 10:18-19 Last of all, Jehu killed as many worshipers of Baal as he could and turned the temple into a latrine. John 3:16-17 Jesus is the true and better Jehu. However, God did not send him to condemn the world, but to save it. Revelation 19:11-16 Nevertheless, when Jesus comes again, he will come in judgment, making Jehu's zeal look small in comparison.

Welcome to Day 2777 of Wisdom-Trek. Thank you for joining me. This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to Wisdom. Day 2777 – Wisdom Nuggets – Psalm 106:34-48 – Daily Wisdom Wisdom-Trek Podcast Script - Day 2777 Welcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps! I am Guthrie Chamberlain, and we are on Day two thousand seven hundred seventy-seven 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 Horror of Accommodation – When the Salt Loses Its Savor. Today, we reach the solemn conclusion of our journey through Psalm One Hundred Six. We are trekking through the final section, verses thirty-four through forty-eight, in the New Living Translation. This marks not only the end of this specific psalm but also the conclusion of Book Four of the Psalter. In our previous trek, we walked through the "Cycle of Amnesia" in the wilderness. We watched a generation that had been liberated by the mighty hand of God crumble into grumbling, envy, and idolatry. We saw them trade their glorious God for a grass-eating bull at Sinai. We saw them yoke themselves to the dead spirits at Baal-Peor. It was a tragic catalog of missed opportunities and hardened hearts. But as we turn to verse thirty-four, the scene shifts. The wilderness wanderings are over. Joshua has led the people across the Jordan. The walls of Jericho have fallen. The people are now living in the Promised Land—the "pleasant land" they once despised. You might think, "Finally! They made it! Now they will surely be faithful." Tragically, the change of geography did not create a change of heart. In this final section, we witness the slow, agonizing slide from Conquest to Compromise, and finally to Captivity. We will see what happens when the people of God stop fighting the culture and start becoming the culture. We will encounter the darkest verse in Israel's history—the sacrifice of children to demons—and we will see how the land itself vomited them out. But, true to the character of Yahweh, we will also see that even in the darkest pit of exile, the ladder of Covenant Love still reaches down. So, let us brace ourselves for the hard truth of history, and the healing balm of God's mercy. The first segment is: The Failure of Assimilation: Mingling with the Darkness. Psalm One Hundred Six: verses thirty-four through thirty-nine. Israel failed to destroy the nations in the land, as the Lord had commanded them.  Instead, they mingled among the pagans and adopted their evil customs.  They worshiped their idols, which became a snare to them.  They even sacrificed their sons and their daughters to the demons.  They shed innocent blood, the blood of their sons and daughters. By sacrificing them to the idols of Canaan, they polluted the land with murder.  They defiled themselves by their evil deeds, and their love of idols was...

Welcome to Day 2776 of Wisdom-Trek, and thank you for joining me. This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to Wisdom – Theology Thursday –Joseph the Dreamer: Discovering the Depths of a Beloved Biblical Figure.    Wisdom-Trek Podcast Script - Day 2776 Welcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps!   I am Guthrie Chamberlain, and we are on Day 2776 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. Our current series of Theology Thursday lessons is written by theologian and teacher John Daniels. I have found that his lessons are short, easy to understand, doctrinally sound, and applicable to all who desire to learn more of God's Word. John's lessons can be found on his website   theologyinfive.com.   Today's lesson is titled Joseph the Dreamer: Discovering the Depths of a Beloved Biblical Figure.    Joseph, son of Jacob and Rachel, emerges from the pages of Genesis not only as a survivor of betrayal and hardship but as a symbol of divine providence and redemptive purpose. His journey from favored son to slave, prisoner, and ultimately, savior of nations illustrates the unseen hand of God at work through suffering and humility. While many are familiar with his colorful coat and rise to power in Egypt, lesser-known elements of his life bring out the deeper beauty and significance of his character. The first segment is: Joseph the Dreamer: Beyond the Well-Known Dreams Joseph's dreams and his ability to interpret them play a crucial role in his life, as well as in the survival of his family and Egypt. While his dreams of sheaves and celestial bodies bowing to him are well-known, his interpretation of the dreams of Pharaoh's cupbearer and baker is equally significant. These interpretations not only revealed divine insight but became the very means by which Joseph was elevated from prison to the highest court in the land. His gift, given by God, opened the way for his destiny to unfold. The second segment is: Joseph and Potipar's Wife: A Test of Character Joseph's encounter with Potipar's wife, who falsely accused him of misconduct, is often highlighted as a moment of moral integrity. But it also demonstrates his unwavering faith in God. Faced with repeated temptation and the risk of losing his position, Joseph chose righteousness, which ultimately led to unjust imprisonment. Even in the dungeon, however, his faith did not falter. This period of suffering refined his character and prepared him for the weight of future authority. The third segment is: Joseph's Egyptian Name and Wife Upon rising to power, Pharaoh gave Joseph an Egyptian name, Zaphenath-paneah, and a wife, Asenath, the daughter of Potiphera, priest of On (Genesis forty-one verse forty-five). These details mark Joseph's deep assimilation into Egyptian culture and political structure. His new name, possibly meaning “God speaks and he lives,” highlighted his prophetic role. His marriage into a priestly household further established his legitimacy in the Egyptian elite. Some might expect condemnation for such a union—after all, Potiphera was a priest of a pagan deity. Yet the biblical text offers no such rebuke. Unlike other biblical figures who compromised their faith through foreign marriages, such as Solomon, Joseph remained faithful to Yahweh. He consistently credited God for his success, named his sons in ways that reflected divine providence, and clung to God's promises. His marriage to Asenath, arranged by Pharaoh, served a broader purpose: the...

Open Forum During the forum, Pastor Amos confirmed that CFE continues to offer a ministry ordination process through a free online school, a structured ministry plan, and a 3-month practicum. Sophie, already ordained, showed interest in learning more, while Rosalind inquired about receiving the Holy Ghost as described in Acts 2:38. Pastor Amos clarified the difference between the indwelling of the Holy Spirit at salvation and the separate experience of baptism in the Holy Spirit, evidenced by speaking in tongues. He and Rosalind also discussed differing interpretations of "tarrying" for the Holy Spirit. CFE's Atlanta events, including an annual conference and future gatherings, were mentioned, and Pastor Amos explained the meanings of names like Jesus, Yeshua, and Yahweh. Conversations about financial goals encouraged faith-based planning without anxiety. Pastor Amos stressed church flexibility and the importance of ministering like Jesus. He and Derrick emphasized Christian unity beyond cultural divisions, encouraging believers to overcome racial biases and focus on shared identity in Christ. Cynthia sought guidance on navigating cultural sensitivities, while Stephanie, Cynthia, and Pastor Amos explored the value of cross-racial friendships and empathy in conversations about race. Rosalind's experiences highlighted the importance of transparency and diversity within the church, and the group agreed to continue these discussions throughout the year.   Partner with Us: https://churchforentrepreneurs.com/partner Connect with Us: https://churchforentrepreneurs.com Leave a Comment: https://churchforentrepreneurs.com/comments
