We're getting a number of unexpected Christmas gifts from the Trump Adm

The Bible contains many stories of God's miraculous provision, but few are as rich and practical as the account of the widow's oil in 2 Kings 4:1–7. Though only seven verses long, this passage offers profound insight into how God provides for His people—and how He invites them to participate in His provision.On today's Faith & Finance, Sharon Epps, president of Kingdom Advisors, joined the program to unpack this story, one she often describes as a clear picture of “God's part and our part” in stewardship.A Crisis That Drives a Cry for HelpThe story opens with a widow in dire circumstances. Her husband, a member of the company of prophets and a man who feared the Lord, has died, leaving behind unpaid debt. With no means to repay it, she risks losing her two sons to creditors.In desperation, she cries out to the prophet Elisha for help. His response begins with a question that shapes the entire story: “What do you have in your house?”Her answer is simple and heartbreaking—nothing, except a small jar of oil.God's Part: The Source of ProvisionSharon Epps notes that God's role in this story is clear. The widow had no way to create oil, multiply it, or secure buyers for it. God alone supplied what was needed.“He was the provider of the oil,” Sharon explains, “and He also provided the buyers so the debt could be paid.” The widow's increase came entirely from God, leaving no room for self-reliance or pride.This total dependence is part of the lesson. God's provision is not something we manufacture; it is something we receive.The Widow's Part: Obedience and ActionWhile God provided the miracle, the widow was not passive. Sharon emphasizes that she played an important role.She:Asked for helpFollowed Elisha's instructionsGathered empty jarsPoured the oilSold what God multiplied“She didn't just wait for oil to appear,” Sharon notes. “She participated in the process.”This balance—God's provision paired with human faithfulness—is a pattern we see throughout Scripture.Empty Jars and Expanding FaithOne of Sharon's favorite moments in the passage comes in verse three, when Elisha tells the widow to gather empty jars from her neighbors and adds, “Don't ask for just a few.”The amount of oil multiplied was directly connected to the number of jars collected. When no vessels remained, the oil stopped flowing.Sharon describes the jars as a physical expression of faith. The widow's willingness to gather more vessels created space for God's provision.Stewardship Principles We Can Apply TodaySharon notes that God doesn't work the same miracle in every life, but the same God is always at work. From this story, she highlights several principles that still apply:1. God Is the Provider. Even our ability to work and earn comes from Him. We are always more dependent on God than we realize.2. Faithfulness Is Our Responsibility. God calls us to be faithful with what He places in front of us today—even when it feels ordinary, frustrating, or uncertain.3. Seek Wise Counsel. The widow didn't isolate herself. She sought help from the prophet, reminding us that God often provides guidance through others.4. Involve Your Family. The widow's sons helped fill the jars. Including family in financial challenges can strengthen faith and allow everyone to witness God's provision.5. Don't Bet on the Future. The widow's hardship began with unresolved debt. Sharon encourages thoughtful financial planning that considers how decisions today could affect loved ones tomorrow.Are You the Widow—or the Neighbor With Jars?Sharon also challenges listeners to view the story from a different perspective. Sometimes we are not the ones in need—we are the neighbors with empty jars.God may have already placed resources in our hands—assets, opportunities, or skills—that He wants to use to meet someone else's need.In just seven verses, the story of the widow's oil paints a powerful picture of stewardship: God provides; we respond in obedience. We rely on Him, seek wise counsel, act faithfully, and remain open to generosity.As Sharon Epps reminds us, recognizing God's role and our role brings freedom—and invites us to trust Him more fully with everything He has entrusted to us.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:My 83-year-old mother just sold property and may net about $250,000 after taxes. I want to keep the money safe, liquid, and available in case she needs long-term care—whether soon or years from now.

Opinion journalism on Russia has become a high-stakes enterprise since the start of the full-scale war in Ukraine, shaped by audiences sharply divided by politics and geography. At the center of these pressures are editors tasked with deciding which arguments deserve a platform, how much context readers need, and what constitutes responsible discourse. Few desks confront these challenges more directly than the opinion section of The Moscow Times. Against that backdrop, The Naked Pravda spoke with Charlie Hancock, the outlet's opinion editor, about how the job has changed in recent years. In the interview, Hancock describes her path into Russia-focused journalism, the unexpected editorial challenges that emerged early in the war, and the debates that now shape opinion writing on Russia. She also discusses navigating legal and political constraints, handling reader criticism, and balancing sharply divergent viewpoints while maintaining editorial coherence — and her own sanity.

Christmas is often painted as peaceful and predictable, but the true story of Jesus is filled with disruption, urgency, and unexpected turns. In this message from the Why So Merry? series, we step into Matthew 2 and the overlooked tension of the Christmas story, where Joseph is forced to uproot his family overnight to protect the very Messiah he was entrusted with. Through Joseph's immediate obedience and willingness to follow God into unfamiliar territory, we see a powerful picture of how God often works through unexpected change rather than around it. Loss, transitions, new callings, and sudden shifts are not interruptions to God's plan, they are often the pathway through which He leads us.   Did you accept Christ today?

Kyle Richards and Dorit Kemsley are still not on speaking terms. Kyle blames PK for everything, Dorit blames PK for certain things and Sutton's Mom thinks PK is unattractive. For a man not earning a paycheck for RHOBH, he certainly seems to have a central role this season. Speaking of Sutton, she is happy as can be these days and a blooming friendship with Erika is in full effect. Last, but not least, several RHOSLC cast members have spoken out with a desire to kick Meredith to the curb as rumors, and nastiness, surrounding next season's cast grow louder. @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope  BROUGHT TO YOU BY: HOMESERVE - homeserve.com (Home Owners Insurance That Start At Just $4.99 a Month) RAKUTEN - rakuten.co.uk (Go To Rakuten.co.uk, Download The App Or Install The Browser Extension To Earn Cash Back While You Shop At All Your Favorite Stores) PROGRESSIVE - www.progressive.com (Visit Progressive.com To See If You Could Save On Car Insurance) ADVERTISING INQUIRIES - Please contact David@advertising-execs.com MERCH Available at - https://www.teepublic.com/stores/behind-the-velvet-rope?ref_id=13198 Learn more about your ad choices.
