Podcasts about Two Kinds

Rav drops two remarkably precise descriptions of Rabbinic marriage:חרשת — קנויה ומשויירת.קטנה — קנויה ואינה קנויה.They sound almost identical. They're not.The Aruch HaShulchan explains that the קטנה may represent an all-or-nothing marriage: if she performs מיאון, the kinyan can disappear entirely; if she does not, it can emerge as a complete Rabbinic kinyan.The Rogatchover then sharpens the other side. A חרשת isn't “maybe married.” Her marriage is real — but משויירת. Something is actually missing from what Chazal created.So what exactly are Rav's two categories? A definite but incomplete marriage versus a marriage whose very status remains open.Two words in Rav — משויירת and אינה קנויה — reveal two fundamentally different ways that a דרבנן marriage can be imperfect.

Why did Frodo need Gollum?Coming to you from Hobbiton, New Zealand, John Ortberg explores one of the deepest themes running through J.R.R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings:Mercy.Bilbo could have killed Gollum. Frodo could have killed him. Sam could have killed him.But pity stayed their hands.And when Frodo finally reaches Mount Doom, something surprising happens: he fails. His own willpower isn't enough to destroy the ring.Yet the mercy extended to Gollum earlier in the story follows Frodo all the way to the end.“Surely goodness and mercy will follow me all the days of my life.”Maybe we need mercy because none of us can save ourselves.And maybe there's a Gollum somewhere in your day who needs mercy too.#LordOfTheRings #Tolkien #JohnOrtberg #Hobbiton #Psalm23 #Mercy #Gollum

What if faithfulness doesn't always look like standing on a mountain and confronting a king and sometimes looks like quietly doing what is right when nobody is watching? In 1 Kings Chapter 18, we meet two very different heroes of faith. Ovadyah serves inside the corrupt palace of King Ahab, quietly risking his life to hide and feed 100 prophets of God, while Elijah stands publicly before the king and courageously speaks the truth. Together, they show us that faithfulness doesn't always look the same sometimes we are called to be the hidden hero, quietly protecting what is holy and doing good where no one sees, and sometimes we are called to be the public hero, naming the truth and refusing to accept blame for the trouble that truth exposes. This chapter explores why we need both kinds of courage and how Ovadyah's and Elijah's examples speak to our own lives. In this chapter learn: • Ovadyah — the hidden hero inside a corrupt world • Staying faithful in a hostile environment • Quiet courage and doing good when nobody sees • Elijah — the public hero who speaks truth to power • The confrontation between Elijah and King Ahab • Refusing to accept blame for exposing the real problem • Two models of faith and two ways of serving Hashem • Why we may be called to be both Ovadyah and Elijah ✡️ Experience the Land of Israel Fellowship FREE for 30 days and join a global community learning, growing, and connecting around Torah, Tanach, faith, and the Land of Israel: https://thelandofisrael.com/fellowship-trial/ #ProphetsOfIsraelDaily #1Kings18 #Elijah #Ovadyah #Obadiah #ModelsOfFaith #Faith #Tanakh #BibleStudy #HebrewBible #Hashem #Israel #Torah #JewishLearning #LandOfIsrael

“I'm only as insecure as the parts of myself I leave in the shadows.” - Marisa G. Franco, PhDWelcome to A Mind of Her Own! I'm Jennifer Reid, MD, a psychiatrist and the author of Guilt Free: Reclaiming Your Life from Unreasonable Expectations. Today I'm joined by Dr. Marisa G Franco, psychologist, professor at the University of Maryland and author of the New York Times bestselling book, Platonic. Her latest book, Worth: The New Science of Self-Esteem and Secure Attachment, arrives September 15th, 2026.Key Ideas1. Self-Worth vs. Self-Esteem. Self-worth means treating your internal world, especially your feelings, as if it matters. It has two parts: sensitivity (noticing how you feel) and responsiveness (doing something about it).2. Two Kinds of “High Self-Esteem”. Research shows people who report high self-esteem split into two very different groups: one is defensive, hostile, and takes feelings out on others; the other is compassionate, accountable, and has smooth relationships. The difference isn't whether they feel insecure; it's whether they can acknowledge it.3. “Secure-ish,” not Secure. Franco pushes back on treating “secure attachment” as a fixed, all-or-nothing identity to perform. True security is being honest about when you're anxious, avoidant, or want to withdraw, not hiding those parts.4. Memories are the Database of Self-Esteem. Because memories don't just record the past but predict the future, people with a history of neglect or harm may unconsciously expect rejection, so they resist fully internalizing love or praise, since believing in it now would make the eventual “fall” feel worse.“Tenderly tell the truth of your insecurities first to yourself and then to those who love you.” —Marisa G.

There are two kinds of commitments: contracts and covenants.We need both. But John Ortberg explains why one can enhance your life while the other can actually transform it.Beginning with Psalm 35, John explores the difference between transactional relationships and covenant relationships, from Casablanca to a remarkable moment in American history when Psalm 35 was read before the Continental Congress.A contract protects individual rights.A covenant creates a “we.”And Scripture doesn't describe God as the God of contract. He is the God of covenant, inviting us into relationships built on something deeper than what we can get from one another.So where might you be treating a covenant like a contract?In this episode: Psalm 35 • covenant • commitment • relationships • American history • spiritual formation#Psalm35 #JohnOrtberg #Covenant #Relationships #SpiritualFormation #Psalms

THE TWO KINDS OF FREEDOM IN CHRIST | DR DAVID OGBUELI

Send us Fan MailRomans 10:4 doesn't leave room for foggy answers. If Christ is “the end of the law for righteousness,” what exactly ends, and what still remains? We walk slowly through Paul's argument and make the central claim plain: the law cannot produce the righteousness God requires, and Jesus Christ brings that entire approach to a decisive close. If you've ever wondered whether your obedience, discipline, or religious effort can finally tip the scales, this conversation is meant to cut through that anxiety with biblical clarity.We also make an important distinction that gets missed in a lot of debates about law and grace. We're not trashing God's law or pretending it has no purpose. The law still reveals God's holiness, exposes sins of commission and omission, and functions like a mirror that shows the seriousness of sin. That's exactly why grace feels weighty instead of sentimental. The more clearly we see the standard, the more we understand why justification by faith is not a shortcut but the only hope for sinners.Then we address a viral claim that Jesus suffered in hell after the crucifixion. We explain why the wrath for sin is borne on the cross, not in hell, and why Jesus' words about “paradise” and committing his spirit to the Father don't fit a post-cross punishment narrative. We close by turning to Romans 10:5, where Paul contrasts two types of righteousness, doing versus believing, and shows there's no blend that saves.If this helped you think more clearly about Romans 10, justification, and the gospel of grace, subscribe, share this with a friend, and leave a review with your biggest takeaway.Support the showBE PROVOKED AND BE PERSUADED!

Send us Fan MailIf you've ever wondered, “What if I don't do enough to stay saved?” we go straight at that fear with the blunt clarity of Romans and the finished work of Jesus Christ. We start where Scripture starts: the law does not grade on a curve. It demands perfection, and a single violation makes us guilty before a holy God. That's not meant to inspire better effort. It's meant to expose the dead end of works-based salvation and the pride underneath performance religion.From there we tackle a claim that disrupts a lot of church culture: saying you believe in Jesus while insisting you must add law keeping to remain saved is not humility, it is an accusation. It suggests Christ's obedience, cross, and resurrection were not sufficient. We walk through Romans 10:6–7 and the rhetorical “ascend” and “descend” language, showing why faith refuses the idea that something big, complex, or extreme must happen for you to be accepted. Christ is not waiting for you to complete what He started.Along the way, voices from the group (including Meg, Cindy, Vanessa, Jeff, Mariah, and Mac) reflect on why resting in grace is so hard, how people chase credit through rules and rituals, and why the gospel is near and accessible. We close with Romans 10:9–10, where salvation is tied to belief in the heart and confession with the mouth, not deeds, not spiritual theatrics, not a lifetime of proving yourself.If this brings clarity or discomfort, share it with a friend, subscribe for more, and leave a review with the question you still wrestle with.Support the showBE PROVOKED AND BE PERSUADED!

Send us Fan MailSaying “Jesus is Lord” sounds simple until you realize what you're actually claiming. We take our time in Romans 10:9-10 and press into the weight of that confession: not “a Jesus,” not a private mantra, but the Lord Jesus, risen from the dead, sovereign over all. And we keep the spotlight where Paul keeps it: confession with the mouth and belief in the heart belong together, because real faith is more than religious vocabulary. We also talk about why people keep trying to complicate salvation. Whether it's adding spiritual badges, turning obedience into a requirement for acceptance, or demanding dramatic signs and stories, the impulse is the same: we hate “free.” But the gospel cuts against our work-for-it instincts and points to the finished, sufficient work of Christ. If we insist on stacking extra conditions onto grace, we quietly suggest Jesus did not do enough, and that's a trap. Along the way we connect Jesus' words about signs to the sign of Jonah, and we wrestle with what “whosoever believes” really means for assurance, shame, and hope. We also touch on regeneration and God's sovereignty in salvation, because nobody confesses from the heart without God first working in the heart. If you want a clearer, steadier grip on salvation by grace through faith, the resurrection, and what genuine confession looks like over time, hit play. Subscribe, share this with a friend, and leave a review, then tell us: what's the biggest “extra requirement” you've seen people add to the gospel?Support the showBE PROVOKED AND BE PERSUADED!

Send us Fan Mail“Whosoever believes” is one of the most quoted lines in the Bible and one of the most misunderstood. We slow down and read Romans 10:11-13 with the goal of being precise about what the text promises and what it does not, especially when people use universal wording to argue for universal salvation or to deny God's electing grace. We talk through Paul's point that there is no difference between Jew and Gentile in access to salvation. The gospel is universal in scope without being universal in outcome: salvation is offered without distinction across every nation, culture, and background, because the same Lord governs all. That also sharpens what “God is not a respecter of persons” means in context. It's not a claim that God cannot predestine or elect, but a declaration that grace is not restricted to one people group or to those with the “right” pedigree. Then we lean into a phrase that should steady anxious hearts: the Lord is “rich unto all that call upon him.” If Christ is rich in grace, he can fully afford everything required to save, keep, and present his people blameless. He does not need your law keeping, your family line, or your performance to make his work effective. We close by reflecting on what it means to call on the name of the Lord, to truly know Jesus as Lord, and how Psalm 107 pictures God using trouble to draw cries for mercy and then deliver. If this conversation helps you, subscribe, share it with a friend who wrestles with grace and assurance, and leave a review.

Who has your attention?In a world where screens, money, health, worries, ambitions, and countless other forces compete for our focus, John Ortberg asks a deeper question: Who is my master?Psalm 143 teaches us how to pay attention to God through two important practices: focused attention and open attention.John explores why attention is so powerful, how what we consistently attend to can actually change us, and how we can learn to notice God's presence throughout an ordinary day.The invitation is simple:Pay attention to the God who is already paying attention to you.In this episode: Psalm 143 • attention • distraction • spiritual formation • neuroscience • noticing God#Psalm143 #JohnOrtberg #SpiritualFormation #Attention #Psalms #ChristianFaith

Have you ever been called the strong one so often that being tired now feels like a betrayal? Do you use a slightly different voice for your mother than you do for everyone else? Is there a version of you that only exists in the car, in the ninety seconds before you walk into a room? If any of that landed, I was not reading your mind. I was reading a door. In this Moment of Awe, we explore the AstroPsychology of identity, why the first house is not who you are, what Jung, Winnicott and Higgins can tell us about the mask, and three ways to begin widening the entrance. The First House Is the Door In AstroPsychology, the first house is the point of contact. It is the version of you the world meets first, before anybody has had time to look further in. Your rising sign, your ascendant, is the shape of that entrance. And here is the line I most want you to carry: the first house is not who you are. It is the door you come through. Most of us confuse the two. We spend years polishing the entrance and then wonder why nobody seems to know us. The Mask Is Not the Problem Carl Jung called this door the persona, after the mask a Roman actor held in front of his face so the audience would know which character was speaking. Notice what the mask is for. It is not deception. It is contact. It lets the play happen. The persona is not a lie or a flaw, and the danger was never in having one. The danger is identifying with it. It is the moment you forget you are holding the mask and start to believe the mask is holding you. Donald Winnicott went further back, into the nursery. When a child learns that their real needs are inconvenient or unwelcome, they build a compliant self to protect the true self from harm. He called it the false self, and I want to be careful with that word. The false self is not your enemy. It was competent. It worked. Somewhere along the way it stopped being a strategy and became the whole house, and the true self is still in there, waiting to see if it is safe to come out. Two Kinds of Identity Pain In 1987, Tory Higgins mapped the three selves we carry: the actual self, the ideal self we aspire to be, and the ought self we feel obliged to be. The gap between actual and ideal gives you disappointment and deflation, the quiet sense of having missed something. The gap between actual and ought gives you anxiety and guilt, the sense of having failed someone. The texture of your discomfort tells you which gap you are standing in, and once you can name the gap, you are no longer inside it. Laid over the chart, it looks like this. The rising sign is the door. The sun is what you are here to become. The moon is what you actually need in order to feel safe. Most of the tiredness I encounter in people’s lives lives in the gap between the door and the moon. Three Ways to Widen the Entrance Map the three. Write down who the world meets first, who you are here to become, and what you actually need to feel safe. Do not edit. Just look at the three lines together and notice where the contradiction sits. Name the quality of the ache. Is it deflation, or is it anxiety? Is it disappointment, or is it guilt? That answer alone tells you which gap you are standing in, and which one to close. Bring one exiled part through the door. Pick something that never makes it into the room and let it in once, somewhere safe. Then watch what happens. Identity Is Not Discovered, It Is Authored You will not find yourself, and that is not pessimism. You cannot find a thing that was never an object. Jennifer Campbell’s research on self-concept clarity shows that people do not become well when they uncover the truth of who they are. They become well when they build a self that is clear, coherent, and stable enough to stand on. So you are not the mask, and you are not hiding behind it either. You are the one who chose it, in a room where it was the most sensible thing to wear. The first house is not a verdict on who you are. It is a description of the door, and the door can be widened. The work was never to find yourself. It was to widen the entrance. Because the more human we are with each other, the more we all rise. You can watch the video of this episode on YouTube.

Ask a first-century rabbi if biblical prophecy had ceased, and he'd say yes. Ask him if God still spoke, and he'd tell you about the Bat Kol.ABOUT THIS EPISODE:Josh, Michael and Michael explore the biblical case that prophecy operates at more than one level of authority. Scripture itself is uniquely inspired, infallible, and authoritative, while other genuine prophetic revelation can still occur without becoming Scripture. To explore this more, we turn to rabbinic Judaism and the fascinating concept of the Bat Kol.Bat Kol means "daughter of a voice." It's rabbinic Judaism's term for a diminished echo of prophecy that kept showing up long after the age of the biblical prophets. This historical evidence suggests that the idea of genuine, non-canonical revelation was not foreign to ancient Jewish thought and may provide important historical support for the continuity view of prophecy.

Two Kinds of Pride Pride is usually talked about as something dangerous in recovery—and it certainly can be. Self-centered pride can keep us defensive, dishonest, unwilling to listen, and convinced that we have to prove ourselves. But there is another kind of pride: the kind that comes from doing the right thing, keeping our word, taking responsibility, helping others, and becoming someone we can respect. Today we'll talk about the difference between pride that tears us down and pride that helps build character, humility, service, and a better way of living. #TheDailyTrudge #TwoKindsOfPride #AlcoholicsAnonymous #Recovery #Sobriety #Humility #Service #Character #AARecovery

08/30/2026 Paul Bang   Judges 5:1-7 The Song of Deborah and Barak 5 Then sang Deborah and Barak the son of Abinoam on that day: 2 “That the leaders took the lead in Israel,     that the people offered themselves willingly,     bless the Lord! 3 “Hear, O kings; give ear, O princes;     to the Lord I will sing;     I will make melody to the Lord, the God of Israel. 4 “Lord, when you went out from Seir,     when you marched from the region of Edom, the earth trembled     and the heavens dropped,     yes, the clouds dropped water. 5 The mountains quaked before the Lord,     even Sinai before the Lord,[a] the God of Israel. 6 “In the days of Shamgar, son of Anath,     in the days of Jael, the highways were abandoned,     and travelers kept to the byways. 7 The villagers ceased in Israel;     they ceased to be until I arose;     I, Deborah, arose as a mother in Israel. Judges 5:24-31 24 “Most blessed of women be Jael,     the wife of Heber the Kenite,     of tent-dwelling women most blessed. 25 He asked for water and she gave him milk;     she brought him curds in a noble's bowl. 26 She sent her hand to the tent peg     and her right hand to the workmen's mallet; she struck Sisera;     she crushed his head;     she shattered and pierced his temple. 27 Between her feet     he sank, he fell, he lay still; between her feet     he sank, he fell; where he sank,     there he fell—dead. 28 “Out of the window she peered,     the mother of Sisera wailed through the lattice: ‘Why is his chariot so long in coming?     Why tarry the hoofbeats of his chariots?' 29 Her wisest princesses answer,     indeed, she answers herself, 30 ‘Have they not found and divided the spoil?—     A womb or two for every man; spoil of dyed materials for Sisera,     spoil of dyed materials embroidered,     two pieces of dyed work embroidered for the neck as spoil?' 31 “So may all your enemies perish, O Lord!     But your friends be like the sun as he rises in his might.” And the land had rest for forty years.

Why do some people fixate on details that seem irrelevant to you? Why do others jump quickly to patterns and possibilities? And why can a decision that seems perfectly logical to one person feel completely wrong to someone else? In this solo episode, Brian uses the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator to explore two particularly useful personality distinctions: Sensing vs. Intuition and Thinking vs. Feeling. These preferences describe how people tend to take in information and how they tend to make decisions. Understanding these differences can increase self-awareness, reduce frustration in relationships, and make coaches more effective by helping them recognize when they are unconsciously expecting clients to process information and decisions the same way they do. Key Ideas & Takeaways There really are different ways of processing the world. Brian opens with a conversation with his longtime friend Travis about a thorn in his thumb. Travis wanted to know exactly what kind of plant the thorn came from; Brian could not understand why that detail mattered. The exchange illustrates how differently two people can naturally gather information. Sensing and Intuition describe how we prefer to take in information. Sensing tends to focus on facts, details, experience, and concrete evidence. Intuition tends to focus on patterns, possibilities, connections, meaning, and what could be. Neither approach is better. Each notices things the other can easily miss. Our own preference can feel like common sense. Because we have spent a lifetime processing information in a particular way, it can be difficult to understand why another person doesn't see what seems obvious to us. Thinking and Feeling describe how we prefer to make decisions. Thinking tends to emphasize logic, consistency, and what makes the most sense. Feeling tends to emphasize values, people, relationships, and the human impact of a decision. Feeling is not the same thing as being emotional, and Thinking does not mean being uncaring. Different decision-making styles strengthen communities. Logic matters, but so do shared values and the impact decisions have on people. Healthy families, teams, churches, and organizations benefit from both perspectives. Coaches need awareness of their own preferences. Coaching frequently involves helping people gather information and make decisions. A coach who assumes the client should process those things the same way the coach does can unintentionally limit the conversation. The opposite preference can generate powerful coaching questions. A coach might invite a strongly Sensing client to consider patterns or possibilities, or ask a strongly Thinking client to consider how a decision fits the values of the people affected. The goal isn't to change the client's preference but to expand what they are able to consider. Assessments should create awareness, not pigeonhole people. Myers-Briggs describes preferences rather than limitations. Knowing a preference can help explain differences without turning personality type into an excuse or rigid label. Brian closes by introducing CAM 509: Coaching and Assessments, beginning September 22, 2026, an eight-week course exploring assessments and how coaches can use them effectively. Memorable Quotes & Ideas "I think the easiest recognition of this is when I'm around somebody who I don't understand." "You are really going to assume that everybody takes in information and makes decisions like you do—and that they should." "I see patterns before I see specifics." "Feeling isn't about being emotional." "I process differently would be a better way of saying that." "As I'm coaching, I want to try to set aside my own biases and preferences toward how I take in information and how I make decisions." "There are options out there that you have not considered."

Jep Robertson's surprising new chapter has Al reflecting on how far his youngest brother has come, from a season marked by drugs and fear to using his story to encourage others. Zach gets a bizarre notice from the IRS, and Jase and Al revisit their sketchiest childhood job that put them face-to-face with black widows, ant beds, and more danger than most kids ever face. The guys dig into James and Proverbs to make the case that biblical wisdom is something you live, not just something you know, and that God's jealousy is rooted in covenant love, grace, and a desire for our full loyalty.

What if you didn't have to choose between believing everything your religion tells you, and believing nothing at all? Most of us have been told those are the only two options.All Souls Unitarian Church exists for that wider space in between. It's a community where people build their own relationship to faith, meaning, and mystery, instead of inheriting someone else's certainty.Almost everyone who finds their way here says the same thing: they wish they'd found it years sooner. And most people don't stumble onto a place like this on their own. They find it because someone else told them it existed.QUESTIONS TO SIT WITH:- Have you ever felt forced to pick between "true believer" and "nothing at all"?- What would it mean to build your beliefs from your own experience, instead of what you were taught?- Have you ever felt pressured to defend your beliefs to someone determined to convert you?- Who in your life might need to know a place like All Souls exists?CHAPTERS:0:00 Music0:54 Opening1:22 A Church For Skeptics1:33 What Is an Oasis?3:47 A Letter From Grove4:45 Spiritual, Not Religious9:12 Losing Sienna9:54 An Angry Kind of Grief11:21 Room to Breathe13:44 A Zen Parable14:35 Two Kinds of Travelers17:14 Spread the Word19:12 The Real Moral Issues21:02 An Oasis For All21:30 ClosingThis message, "Oasis on the Arkansas," was delivered by Rev.

Welcome to the Table explores the radical hospitality at the heart of the Christian faith through the lens of two tables; the Lord's Table and the ordinary hospitality table of home and neighborhood. Beginning with God himself as the original pursuing host, the series moves through the covenant welcome of Mephibosheth, the table-fellowship scandal of Jesus, the contrast between cold religion and lavish grace in Simon's dinner, and the multiplying power of the early church's daily breaking of bread, eventually culminating in the eschatological feast of Revelation, where the entire arc of redemption ends at a table.The driving conviction throughout is simple: every hospitality table is a rehearsal for the Lord's Table, and the Lord's Table sends us back to our hospitality tables with new purpose. As such, building an invitational culture is not a church growth strategy, it is a theological imperative rooted in the very character of God.

A surprising comparison between pornography and marriage reframes the conversation around sex, beauty, and what can only be understood over the course of a faithful life. Jase, Al, and Zach connect that idea to the difference between what looks good in the moment and what actually leads to life, tracing the pattern from Eden to Solomon to the book of James. Jase also recounts the bizarre moment uninvited visitors made it through his security setup and wound up getting an unexpected message about Jesus and the resurrection.

The sermon contrasts the accelerating accumulation of human knowledge with the enduring lack of true wisdom, arguing that intellectual prowess cannot save humanity from folly. It introduces the book of Proverbs as a practical guide for daily living, emphasizing that genuine insight begins with the fear of the Lord rather than secular achievement. The speaker highlights the contrast between the wise person who trusts in God and the fool who despises divine instruction. Ultimately, the message points to Jesus Christ as the embodiment of wisdom and the only source of salvation from spiritual foolishness. Believers are called to humble dependence on Christ for both eternal redemption and practical guidance in everyday decisions.

Pastor Levi Matteson talks about Boaz's response to redeeming Ruth, from Ruth 4:1-22, including: 1 The Man at the Gate (Ruth 4:1–2), 2 The Catch (Ruth 4:3–6), 3 Two Kinds of Yes (Ruth 4:4–6), 4 Boaz Says Yes Anyway (Ruth 4:9–10), 5 Naomi Watching from the Doorway (Ruth 4:13–17), and 6 The Goel We Actually Need (Ruth 4:9–10; 4:18–22). This episode of the Evangel Houghton podcast is a Sunday message from Evangel Community Church, Houghton, Michigan, August 16, 2026.

There's an ‘extra scummy' team in Tulsa that is trying to get a kid to play that is not eligible, but there's a loophole where they're using the special needs division. There's a second cheating scum, a golfer, who used a fake sick grandmother to fake a hole in one for money.

Check out Calvary-St. George's, NYC, where Jacob serves as Rector.

As we continue our series through St. Paul's Epistle to the Romans, Reverend Jacob articulates St. Paul's important distinction between the righteousness according to the law, and the righteous according to faith. The distinction is often overlooked, but is the key to understanding the uniqueness of Christianity.

I gave God ten minutes. That's it... ten minutes of silence on a balcony in Caracas, with two highways roaring past and a stinky attitude about whether He'd actually say anything back. This conversation I have with Jody Hovda gets into what that experiment became, and where prayer went for her once she stopped telling God what to do and started listening instead.Jody has spent years walking with people through spiritual formation and discipleship, including her work with Cultivate. She's lived overseas, discipled women through hard seasons, and has a gift for helping people notice where God already is instead of chasing where they think He should be.Expect to hear the full story behind the ten minutes of silence that started it all, what changed when Jody moved from petitioning God to listening for Him, the story of a roadside decision that turned into an act of kindness, why she calls painful seasons "the manure" and how that framing actually produces growth, the difference between the two kinds of knowing God (intellectual and experiential), and how believing every person is an image-bearer changes the way you drive, parent, and stand in line at the grocery store, and more...If something in this conversation stirs something in you, I'd love for you to sit with it.

People usually think about science as what we can learn about the natural world with the scientific method. But there are two kinds of science.

How do we navigate the "mixed bag" of prophecy today? In this message from the Is This Thing On? series, Pastor Travis Aicklen addresses one of the most misunderstood and sometimes misused gifts of the Spirit: prophecy. Travis candidly acknowledges the awkwardness and skepticism many feel toward the prophetic, often born from seeing the gift abused or used to manipulate others. However, he challenges us not to let past negative experiences or "fuzzy details" cause us to reject a genuine and powerful gift from God. By comparing two biblical examples of prophecy, Travis provides a framework for understanding how God speaks, how to test what we hear, and how to embrace the prophetic to build up the church.Key Points & Scripture ReferencesThe Reality of the "Mixed Bag": The church in Corinth was a messy place, and their use of spiritual gifts reflected that. Prophecy, like any gift given to flawed humans, can be misunderstood or misapplied. Just because a gift is sometimes abused doesn't mean it isn't real or valuable. We are called to "earnestly desire spiritual gifts, especially that you may prophesy" (1 Corinthians 14:1).Two Kinds of Prophets: Travis contrasts the prophet Agabus, who accurately foretold a famine and Paul's future imprisonment, with false prophets who use their "gift" for personal gain or manipulation. Agabus demonstrates that true prophecy is a humble, specific revelation from God, meant to prepare and strengthen the church.The Components of Prophecy: A prophetic word consists of three parts: Revelation (what God shows you), Interpretation (what you think it means), and Application (what you should do about it). The revelation is from God, but the interpretation and application are human processes, which is why prophecy must always be tested against Scripture and the wisdom of the community.The Purpose is Edification: According to 1 Corinthians 14:3, the primary purpose of prophecy is not to tell the future or reveal secrets, but to bring "upbuilding and encouragement and consolation" to the church. The one who prophesies "builds up the church". If a "word from God" tears down or manipulates, it is not true prophecy.Embracing the Mystery: We don't have to understand everything about the prophetic to participate in it. Travis encourages us to be open to how God might speak through dreams, pictures, or "props" (like Agabus taking Paul's belt), and to humbly share those impressions with one another.Call to ActionHave you completely closed yourself off to the idea that God might speak to you, or through you, to encourage someone else? This week, ask God to give you an "Agabus moment"—a specific, encouraging word for a friend, a coworker, or a family member. It doesn't have to be dramatic; it could be as simple as, "I feel like God wants you to know..." As we step out in faith, even with "fuzzy details," God can use our tentative words to build up His church. Let's not let the misuse of a gift prevent us from experiencing its true power.Join us Sundays at 8:30am or 10:30am. Find out more at RadiantVisalia.com.

As the nation marks its 250th birthday, we take up the word at the heart of the celebration: freedom. Civil freedom is a genuine, God-given good, worth our gratitude and our protection. But the freedom Christ won for us is a profoundly different thing, and confusing the two can obscure the Gospel. This episode explores the distinction between civil freedom and Christian freedom through the lens of the Lutheran two-kingdoms/realms teaching.   The Rev. Graham Glover, pastor of Abiding Savior Lutheran Church in Gainesville, Fl, Army Reserve Chaplain serving the Chief of Chaplain's Office at the Pentagon in the policy and government affairs section, and Senior Chaplain Fellow at the Religious Freedom Institute in Washington, D.C., joins the Rev. Dr. Phil Booe to study civil and spiritual freedom. Thy Strong Word, hosted by Rev. Dr. Phil Booe, pastor of St. John Lutheran Church of Luverne, MN, reveals the light of our salvation in Christ through study of God's Word, breaking our darkness with His redeeming light. Each weekday, two pastors fix our eyes on Jesus by considering Holy Scripture, verse by verse, in order to be strengthened in the Word and be equipped to faithfully serve in our daily vocations.

This week, we talk to Brooke Ligertwood about her new album ‘Eat,' which is unlike anything she's put out before. In RELEVANT Buzz, we break down new data that highlights where the Church has actually been growing over the last decade — and where it hasn't. We also tell the story of the e.l.f. Cosmetics co-founder who gave away his fortune and is becoming a priest. Plus we have a look at the new Moses limited series on Prime Video starring Sir Ben Kingsley. (It's impressive.)In Slices, Jesse has some thoughts about kamikaze dolphins, and the cast of course opens the show with thoughts on the new Drake albums, which leads to a fascinating conversation about what's been wrong with the music industry and our thoughts on where things are going. This week's Question of the Week is based on the ‘Thief In the Night' post we had this week: What's a movie or show you watched way too young that you now realize was completely inappropriate (and your parents probably had no idea)?
