Podcasts about Two Kinds

Intelligence is fundamentally spiritual in nature and by default divine in origin. This statement may sound unusual or even controversial to those conditioned by secular educational paradigms that treat intelligence as merely a function of genetics, brain chemistry, and environmental conditioning. But if we are to understand the original concept of how God has ordained and designed humanity to function, we must recover this foundational truth: we cannot effectively function without intelligence, and true intelligence is not merely biological or psychological, it is spiritual.When we speak of intelligence in the biblical sense, we are referring to spiritual intelligence, the capacity to perceive, understand, and respond to reality as it actually is, not merely as it appears to natural perception. This involves accessing dimensions of knowledge, wisdom, and understanding that transcend the limitations of empirical observation and rational deduction.Spirituality, in its true definition and essence, is a reflection of intelligence. To be spiritual means to know, to possess knowledge that originates beyond the material realm. It means to have access into realities, truths, and dimensions that are closed to those operating solely from natural human perspective. It means to have understanding that penetrates beneath the surface of circumstances to discern root causes, spiritual dynamics, and divine purposes. It means to see things in a manner that is not limited to natural human perspective, to perceive with prophetic clarity, apostolic authority, and the mind of Christ.When we understand this foundational reality and then link it to the God-kind of intelligence, we are speaking of a dimension of knowledge, wisdom, and understanding that operates from a higher dimension of existence—from the throne room of heaven, from the eternal counsel of the Godhead, from the infinite wisdom of the Creator who knows the end from the beginning.Two Kinds of WisdomThis is why Scripture consistently speaks to us about two kinds of knowledge, two kinds of understanding, and two distinct categories of wisdom. The apostle James makes this distinction explicit: “Who is wise and understanding among you? Let him show by good conduct that his works are done in the meekness of wisdom. But if you have bitter envy and self-seeking in your hearts, do not boast and lie against the truth. This wisdom does not descend from above, but is earthly, sensual, demonic. For where envy and self-seeking exist, confusion and every evil thing are there. But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, willing to yield, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality and without hypocrisy” (James 3:13-17).Here we see the clear contrast: there is a wisdom that is earthly—rooted in natural human perspective, limited by fallen perception, tainted by selfish ambition, and ultimately connected to demonic influence. This wisdom may be sophisticated, impressive, and even effective within certain contexts, but it cannot produce the outcomes that align with God's kingdom purposes. Where this earthly wisdom operates, the result is “confusion and every evil thing.” On the other hands, there is wisdom that comes from above descending from the Father of lights, pure in its nature, peaceable in its effect, gentle yet powerful in its application, and productive of good fruits that endure. This heavenly wisdom operates from entirely different principles and produces entirely different outcomes than earthly wisdom.

Main Theme: True unity is powerful — whether for good or evil — but only unity built on obedience to God's Word can stand. Using Genesis 11 (Tower of Babel) and John 17 (Jesus' prayer for believers), Pastor Matthew taught that prideful unity seeks to glorify man, while holy unity glorifies God. The sermon called believers to become “one” with God, within themselves, and with one another, through humility and obedience. Man's Pride and the Tower of Babel (Genesis 11:1–9) Humanity once shared one language and one goal — to build a city and tower “whose top is in the heavens.” This unity was not righteous; it was rooted in pride and self-exaltation. “Let us make a name for ourselves.” — the cry of human arrogance. Pastor explained that Nimrod led this effort, motivated by defiance against God's authority and fear of another flood. Historian Josephus wrote that Nimrod's goal was to build a tower taller than any future flood could reach. Humanity still acts the same way today — building monuments, chasing power, and seeking fame — revealing that “man's heart hasn't changed.” Lesson: “You can build something big without God — but it won't last.” God's Response — Confusion and Division God “came down” to see what man had built — emphasizing His sovereignty: “They tried to build up, but He had to come down to see it.” The Lord noted their unity: “Nothing they propose to do will be withheld from them.” Unity, even for evil, is powerful. So God confused their language to protect mankind from greater rebellion. This was not destruction, but mercy through disruption — scattering people before sin could multiply unchecked. “The only thing that reached heaven from Babel was their sin.” Two Kinds of Unity Pastor contrasted two types of unity: Worldly unity – Prideful, self-glorifying, built on rebellion (Babel). Godly unity – Humble, self-denying, built on obedience (Christ). “It's powerful to be unified, even for the wrong reason — but it's holy when you're unified for the right one.” He warned that even evil movements gain momentum through unity, while the Church often loses ground because of division. The greatest form of unity begins with God Himself — aligning our will with His. “You'll never be unified with people until you're first unified with God.” Humility and the Example of Abraham Abraham's humility contrasted Babel's pride: He let Lot choose the better land, trusting God's promise instead of striving for position. “Abraham pitched his tent and built his altar — Lot pitched his tent and lost everything.” God told Abraham, “I will make your name great.” The key difference: Abraham waited on God to exalt him; Babel tried to exalt itself. Pastor connected this to Jesus' humility — who sought the Father's glory, not His own. “Jesus didn't look for fame; He looked for the Father's confirmation.” Jesus' Prayer for Unity (John 17:1–14) In John 17, Jesus prayed that His followers would be one as He and the Father are one. Unity is rooted in shared obedience and shared glory — not shared opinion. “If we don't care who gets the credit, we'll stay unified.” Jesus' request: “Glorify Your Son, that the Son may glorify You.” “Keep them through Your name that they may be one as We are one.” Pastor emphasized that Jesus prayed not for the world, but for those who belong to God — the Church that would reach the world through unity and truth. Lesson: “Unity doesn't mean sameness — it means shared purpose: glorifying God.” The Anatomy of Unity — Spirit, Soul, and Body Every believer must first be unified within themselves: Spirit (where the Holy Spirit dwells). Soul (mind, will, emotions). Body (the vessel of action). Without spiritual renewal, the soul leads — driven by emotion, intellect, and will. The Holy Spirit must rule the soul to align the believer with God's will. “You'll never be unified outwardly until you're unified inwardly.” Pastor described how old thought patterns (like “grooved paths” in the brain) must be renewed by the Word. “You've got to cut new paths in your mind — let the Holy Spirit groove His will into your thinking.” Godly Unity in Practice Starts in the home: Division between husbands and wives hinders prayer. Spreads to the Church: True revival requires believers who care more about obedience than credit. Extends to the nation: Real healing begins when unity is built around God's Word, not politics or culture. “Our rallying point is not religion, denomination, or last name — it's the Word of God.” Call to Action and Prayer Pastor closed with a call for repentance and restoration of unity: Individuals: Be reconciled to God through Christ. Marriages: Break division; walk as one. Churches: Give glory to God alone. Nations: Return to truth and righteousness. “The devil divides Christians, but unites evil causes. We must reverse that.” Core Message Unity is powerful — even when used wrongly. Godly unity begins with humility, obedience, and surrender. Pride builds towers; faith builds altars. To be one with others, first be one with God. The Church's greatest strength is not its size or sound — it's its unity in the Spirit and truth.

The world's false peace is control. The peace of Christ is restoration. The Prince of Peace comes not to silence the oppressed but to melt hardened hearts.

Every church has two kinds of Christians: the self-reliant striver and the surrendered believer. Both pray, both read Scripture, both feel guilt… but only one experiences real, lasting transformation. In today's devotional, Kirk reveals why “I'll fix myself” faith always ends in exhaustion — and why true freedom begins with “God, I can't—help me.” If you feel stuck in cycles of sin, guilt, or burnout, this episode will reshape how you think about confession, repentance, and grace.

When Yaakob heard that his brother, Esav, was approaching with a militia of 400 men, he offered an impassioned prayer to G-d, begging for help. He cried, "Hasileni Na Mi'yad Ahi Mi'yad Esav" – "Save me, please, from my brother, from Esav" (32:12). A famous insight into this verse was offered by the Bet Ha'levi (Rav Yosef Dov Soloveitchik of Brisk, 1820-1892), one which is worth our while to review and ponder. The Bet Ha'levi noted that Yaakob asked G-d to protect him from both "Esav" and from "my brother." Of course, these seem to be one and the same. But the Bet Ha'levi explains that this refers to two different threats that Yaakob feared. The first and more obvious threat was that posed by "Esav" – the violent, evil man who hated Yaakob for having taken his blessing, and sought to kill him. Esav's hostility and violent character posed a clear and present danger. But Yaakob also feared the opposite prospect – that Esav would come as "my brother," with love and affection. This, too, presented a danger, albeit a much different form of danger – a spiritual danger. When the gentile nations treat us as "brothers," inviting us to closely interact with them, we risk becoming like them, of exchanging our traditional beliefs, values and practices for their culture. Whereas "Esav" threatens our physical existence, "my brother" threatens our spiritual existence. The Gemara tells that King Ahashverosh despised the Jews no less than Haman. When Haman presented to the king his idea to annihilate the Jews, and offered to pay for it, Ahashverosh responded that to the contrary, he would pay Haman to do this, because he wanted the Jews killed. The Gemara draws an analogy to a person with a large mound of dirt on his property which he wanted to get rid of, and he is approached by another person who has a large hole on his property which he wished to fill. The person with the hole in the ground offers to pay the other person for his mound of dirt – but the one with the mound of dirt is prepared to pay him to remove it. Likewise, Haman was willing to pay Ahashverosh to annihilate the Jews, but Ahashverosh was prepared to pay Haman to get rid of them. But when we read the Megilla, we do not get the impression that Ahashverosh disliked the Jews. To the contrary, he invited them to his feast, and they happily participated. In truth, however, this was no less sinister a plot than Haman's plan to murder the Jews. Haman approached the Jewish People as "Esav," whereas Ahashverosh approached them as "my brother," inviting them to assimilate and embrace the Persian culture, values and lifestyle. Returning to the story of Yaakob and Esav, the Torah tells that when they finally reunited, Esav embraced Yaakob and kissed him. However, one view in the Midrash, as Rashi (33:4) cites, explains that Esav first tried to bite Yaakob's neck. Hashem performed a miracle, making Yaakob's neck hard as marble, such that Esav's teeth could not penetrate it. Esav then kissed him. He at first tried to hurt Yaakov with hostility and violence, and when this failed, he resorted to the tactic of "my brother," by showing love and affection, hoping to lure Yaakob away from his beliefs and values. We must stand guard against both dangers. In a time of growing antisemitism, we must of course remain vigilant and take appropriate measures to protect ourselves. No less importantly, however, we must protect ourselves from the lure of assimilation. The United States offers us freedom and equality, treating us no differently than any other group in this country. This is, undoubtedly, a wonderful blessing for which we must be grateful, as it has allowed us to build communities such as ours and practice our religion without fear. At the same time, however, the freedoms have wrought a spiritual catastrophe, pulling a frighteningly high percentage of Jews away from their heritage. The American Jew's freedom to fully participate in American culture and society entices him to abandon his traditions in favor of the values and lifestyle of the people around us, and too many have fallen prey to this temptation. We need to ensure that our enjoyment of the wonderful freedoms granted us by this country does not result in our rejection of our traditions. And we do this through our community institutions, through our schools, synagogues, yeshivot and programs, which help solidify our identity as Torah Jews, an identity that we continue to wear with pride and conviction even as we participate in and interact with the general society.

Earthly wisdom breeds envy and disorder.

According to Scripture, there are two categories of believers in the body of Christ. Both categories are saved and both categories are born again. Both categories have received Christ as Lord and Saviour. But only one category continues beyond the doorway of salvation and enters the school of Christ, the pathway of discipleship. Jesus made a distinction, Paul made a distinction, and the New Testament emphasises it repeatedly. Understanding this distinction is vital because it reveals where we are spiritually and where God is calling us to go.

This week at Myrtle House Community Church, we were blessed to hear from guest speaker Stuart Watkins, who brought a heartfelt and stirring word on one of the most central, yet often misunderstood, callings in the Christian life: we are made to worship. Not just on Sunday mornings. Not only in the songs we sing. But in the whole of our being, in every corner of our daily lives, in every ordinary moment where God is present and working. Transformation Begins Within Stuart opened by reminding us that God's desire for us is transformation—the kind that starts deep inside and works its way outward. He gave this beautiful definition: “Transformation is a profound internal change of one's heart, mind and spirit, leading to new thoughts, attitudes and actions. Initiated by a relationship with God through Jesus Christ, aligning a person's core being with divine purposes.” You could almost feel the room lean in as we were reminded that transformation doesn't begin with striving… it begins with being. Worship: Not Something We Do, But Something We Are One of the most powerful themes of the morning was this truth: Worship is not an activity. Worship is an identity. Romans 12:1 calls us to “offer your bodies as a living sacrifice… this is your true and proper worship.” Worship isn't an event on a Sunday schedule. Worship is the whole orientation of our lives. Stuart said it simply: “We aren't human doers, we're human beings.” And when our being is turned toward Jesus, everything we do becomes infused with His presence. Worship is a lifestyle. It flows from the heart, shapes the atmosphere, and brings us into places of intimacy where God can transform us. Even our honesty—our raw, unfiltered prayers—become worship when they come from a heart turned toward Him. Two Kinds of People Jesus Seeks From Scripture, Stuart reminded us that Jesus is actively looking for two groups: The Lost (Luke 19:10) We were all lost once. Jesus came to seek and save us, to meet us where we were, just like Zacchaeus in the tree. Worshippers (John 4:23) Jesus told the Samaritan woman that the Father seeks true worshippers—those who worship in Spirit and in Truth. The moment we move from lost to found, we step into our new identity as worshippers. You Become What You Worship This is why worship matters so deeply. It shapes your heart, your thinking, your identity, your actions. Worship transforms us into the very image of the One we lift our eyes to. Worship in Every Season—Even the Hard Ones Stuart brought us to Acts 16, where Paul and Silas sang hymns in a prison cell. Their worship wasn't dependent on circumstance—it was anchored in identity. Even at midnight, in chains, they chose to worship. 1 Thessalonians 5:18 calls us to “give thanks in all circumstances.” Worship isn't pretending everything is perfect; it's acknowledging that God is present. Sometimes worship is loud and joyful. Sometimes worship is a silent gaze upon God's goodness, like Psalm 27 describes. Sometimes worship is sacrificial and costly, like Mary pouring perfume on Jesus' feet. But always—always—worship transforms. We Are Created to Reflect Him Stuart closed with a powerful reminder: We are created—shaped from the very beginning—to reflect the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Our ministry isn't defined by roles or departments. Our first and greatest ministry is to worship Him. When worship becomes our lifestyle… Transformation becomes our story. If you missed this Sunday, take some time this week to re-centre your heart. Invite His presence in. Worship Him in the everyday moments. Let Him reshape you from the inside out. Because you were made—truly made—to worship.

In this episode, we try to make the concept of tacit knowledge explicit. How much of our scientific knowledge depends on knowledge that we can't communicate directly? How can we replicate studies, if they might rely on tacit knowledge? And why has the concept itself not been made more explicit in the last 45 years? Enjoy.    Collins, H. (2012).

For years, the New Orleans Saints football team was so bad that the fans began to call them the Aints. Well according to the Bible, there are only two kinds of people in the world: those who are saints and those who ain't. Are you one who walks after the flesh to fulfill its sinful desires, or do you walk after the Spirit of God and invest your life toward pleasing the Lord? Tune in to Dr. Donald Barnhouse's teaching from Romans 8:5 on Dr. Barnhouse and the Bible. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/791/29

James 3:13-18

Keith gets personal: the cramped one-bedroom apartment that pushed him to the edge, the terrible nights of doubt, and the single decision that changed everything. This episode explores how action — not passive hustle or endless planning — dissolves fear, how upgrading your environment upgrades your identity, and why finding the right people (coaches, freelancers, consultants) is often the smarter action than trying to do everything yourself. Packed with practical mindset shifts, a few laughable moving anecdotes, and a straight-forward call to take one bold step today.     “When you don't know your worth, you're taking action based off of fear.” – Keith Kalfas   Topics Covered: Action Cures Fear: Why Decisive Moves Shrink Anxiety   Fear vs. Incentive Motivation: Running From vs. Running Toward     Upgrading Your Environment to Upgrade Your Identity   Who, Not How: Leveraging People to Scale Without Burnout   Raising Prices, Raising Standards, and Building Confidence   Breaking Limiting Beliefs: The “Stable Datum” Shift   Surrounding Yourself with Mentors, Events & Growth Communities   Defining Your Number, Your Vision, and Incentive-Driven Goals   Key Takeaways Action Cures Fear Fear feeds on hesitation. The longer you sit in analysis and planning, the bigger the fear grows. Keith shares how taking decisive action — even when it felt risky or uncomfortable — immediately shrank the fear. Once he moved forward, momentum replaced anxiety. It's not about reckless leaps, but about making bold, committed moves that signal to yourself: I'm doing this. Two Kinds of Motivation Fear-Motivation: Acting because you're running away from something (like debt, failure, embarrassment). It creates hustle, but it also breeds burnout and keeps you stuck in survival mode. Incentive-Motivation: Acting because you're running toward something (like freedom, growth, building a legacy). This type of motivation energizes you, sustains you through challenges, and aligns your daily grind with a bigger vision. Upgrade Your Environment, Upgrade Your Identity: Your environment reinforces your self-image. For Keith, moving from a cramped one-bedroom into a better condo wasn't just about comfort — it was about identity. Suddenly, he felt like someone who deserved to charge more, run his business with pride, and raise his standards. That leap in environment forced a leap in belief, and that shift transformed the way he worked. In other words: where you live, the people around you, and the spaces you operate in either keep you small or challenge you to rise higher. Change your environment, and you naturally start showing up differently.   Connect with Keith Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/keithkalfas/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thelandscapingemployeetrap Website: https://www.keithkalfas.com/resources Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@keith-kalfas   Resources and Websites:  Start Getting Leads Now https://www.footbridgemedia.com/keith The Untrapped Alliance: https://www.keithkalfas.com/alliance Resources You Need To Build A Successful Business https://www.keithkalfas.com/resources

Andre Koch Torres Assis is a professor of Physics at the University of Campinas in Brazil, who has been studying the history of electricity and electrodynamics for more than thirty years. As part of his research, he has assembled put together a collection of experiments that demonstrate some of the earliest experiences that natural philosophers had with electricity - and which show how poorly understood these phenomena still are today, more than two hundred years after they were first observed.

Get started on your life's journey by having the courage to step out into the world, even if that means being uncomfortable for a while. Commander Drew insists there are only two kinds of pilots: #1 - Those that can fly on & off aircraft carriers #2 - Those who wish they could Sadly, soon there may only be one. The U.S. Navy has made a dramatic change in the way that student Naval Aviators earn their Wings of Gold. This unique segment of the U.S. military has eliminated the requirement to have actually landed a plane on an aircraft carrier before receiving their golden wings and being designated as Naval Aviators. The change was made in an effort to reduce training time, as well as wear and tear on airframes and most important, to save money. Advances in technology. The advent of Precision Landing Mode, informally known as “Magic Carpet” is a technological advancement in a data linkup with an aircraft's flight control system. The bottom line, is that this advancement in technology makes landing on a ship easier. Only time will tell. In a bit of good news, one professional sports team is using some of its resources for charitable purposes. A team in the Womens National Basketball Association, the Atlanta Dream in partnership with the mobile financial platform known as Cash App will retire the debt for thousands of people to eliminate this burden that weighs heavily on families. Since we all know, “two wrongs don't make a right”, we should all strive to do the right thing, even if it's not convenient. Meet a wingman who displayed courage under fire, while being in the middle of a fire.

Send us a textThere are two kinds of wealth: preservation and creation. One protects what was handed down, the other builds from scratch. And if you weren't born into wealth, you've actually got the upper hand — because lack is leverage. In this episode, I'll share why access to opportunity is your greatest advantage and how to flip a preservation mindset into creation.

Pastor Heath Lambert tackles a crucial theological question: Was Jesus tempted, and what does that mean? Discover the difference between external and internal temptation, and how understanding these distinctions helps us comprehend how Jesus could be "tempted in every way as we are, yet without sin."TIMESTAMPS0:00 - Introduction: The Question About Jesus' Temptation0:49 - What Is Temptation? The Basic Question1:32 - Type 1: External Temptation (Tempting Situations)1:40 - Example: Stack of $100 Bills in Empty Room2:27 - Type 2: Internal Temptation (Spiritual Corruption)2:42 - James 1:14: Lured and Enticed by Own Desire3:45 - How External and Internal Temptations Connect4:00 - Personal Examples: Tofu Salad vs. Blueberry Muffin4:25 - The Key Difference: Situational vs. Spiritual4:53 - Jesus Was Tempted: Matthew 4:1 Evidence5:15 - Hebrews 4:15: Tempted in Every Way, Yet Without Sin6:01 - James 1:13: God Cannot Be Tempted with Evil6:19 - The Solution: Two Kinds of Temptation Applied to Jesus7:00 - How Jesus Faced External Without Internal CorruptionMAIN POINTS- Two Kinds of TemptationExternal temptation consists of tempting situations or circumstances (like finding money when alone), while internal temptation involves corrupt cravings and sinister desires within the heart. External temptation becomes spiritually significant only when it meets internal corruption.- External Temptation Is Situational, Not Necessarily SinfulBeing in a potentially tempting situation isn't inherently wrong. The sinfulness comes from the internal response - the corrupt desire that matches up with the external opportunity. Different people are tempted by different external circumstances based on their internal desires.- Jesus Faced All External TemptationsScripture clearly states that Jesus was "tempted in every way as we are" (Hebrews 4:15) and was "led by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil" (Matthew 4:1). Every potentially tempting situation that exists confronted Jesus during His earthly ministry.- Jesus Had No Internal CorruptionThough Jesus faced all external temptations, He had no internal corruption or sinful desires to match them. His heart was always trusting in the Lord and wanting to do righteousness. This is why He could be tempted externally yet remain "without sin" - there was no internal spiritual corruption to respond to the external circumstances.SCRIPTURE REFERENCESPrimary Passages:Matthew 4:1 - Jesus led into wilderness to be temptedHebrews 4:15 - Tempted in every way as we are, yet without sinJames 1:13-14 - God cannot be tempted; each person tempted by own desireSupporting Context:James 1:13 - Let no one say when tempted, "I am being tempted by God"James 1:14 - Each person is lured and enticed by his own desire1 John 2:16 - The desires of the flesh, eyes, and pride of life1 Corinthians 10:13 - No temptation beyond what you can bearHave a question you'd like answered?

We sometimes say you can't compare apples and oranges. But this is what many people do when they talk about the righteousness of God. They believe it is merely an exalted, perfected form of human righteousness. But God's righteousness is of a completely different category altogether.
