In this Sunday Live, I continue our Philippians Bible study and dive deep into Paul's call to “rejoice in the Lord.” What does it actually mean to rejoice when life feels anything but joyful? Is joy just a religious cliché, or a real, practical experience we can grow in—especially in the midst of anxiety, depression, […]

Almost everyone thinks the third commandment is about language. Watch your mouth. Do not use God's name as a curse word. Dr. Carmen Joy Imes, Associate Professor of Old Testament at Biola University's Talbot School of Theology, takes us back to the Hebrew of Exodus 20:7 and shows that the command was never about how you say God's name. The verb was never "take." It was "carry." And that single word reopens the entire meaning of Sinai.Drawing on the research behind her book Bearing God's Name, Dr. Imes traces what it actually meant for Israel to be stamped with God's name and sent out as His representatives. We get into the high priest who wore the names of the twelve tribes on his body, the invisible tattoo that marked a people as God's own, the ancient practice of branding slaves, and the moment God sealed His name onto Israel. From there the conversation moves through the exile, into the Gospels, and lands on what it means for anyone who claims the name of Christ today.In this episode you will learn:- Why "take the Lord's name in vain" is a mistranslation and what the Hebrew actually says- How the verb "carry" or "bear" changes the meaning of the entire command- Why the high priest wore the names of the twelve tribes on his shoulders and chest- What it meant for Israel to be branded with God's name like an invisible tattoo- The ancient link between tattoos, slavery, and belonging to a master- How this one command reframes all Ten Commandments- Why the exile became a crisis for God's reputation among the nations- How Jesus embodies Israel's mission and bears the name perfectly- What it means for the church to carry God's name well, or in vain, todayAbout the Guest:Dr. Carmen Joy Imes is Associate Professor of Old Testament at Biola University's Talbot School of Theology (PhD, Wheaton College). She is currently writing a commentary on Exodus for Baker Academic.Her books include:Bearing God's Name: Why Sinai Still MattersBearing YHWH's Name at Sinai (the academic edition of her dissertation)Being God's Image: Why Creation Still MattersBecoming God's Family: Why the Church Still MattersHer books are available on Amazon and through InterVarsity Press.Website: carmenjoyimes.comYouTube: Carmen Joy Imes (home of Torah Tuesday and her weekly teaching)Stay Connected:Website: johnnyova.comYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@thejohnnyovaGet Johnny's book, The Revelation Reset: https://a.co/d/hiUkW8H

On today's episode of The Therapy Crouch, Abbey and Peter are back in New York for another chaotic Ask Me Anything, and this week's questions spark conversations that go absolutely everywhere.The pair kick things off by joking about being reunited after travelling, with Abbey admitting she's officially decided she can't cope with single parenting, while Peter cheekily negotiates a "week on, week off" arrangement.One listener asks Abbey for advice ahead of giving birth, leading to an honest chat about their own labour experiences, planned inductions, epidurals and the one thing Peter kept doing that drove Abbey absolutely mad while she was stuck in hospital. Peter also attempts to explain oxytocin... with predictably disastrous results.Elsewhere, the pair react to one of the funniest listener confessions yet, involving a very drunk son, the wrong bedroom and an unforgettable wake-up call that had everyone in stitches.Plus, Abbey and Peter weigh in on whether having loads of mirrors in your bedroom is a genuine relationship red flag, debate whether men are actually more vain than women, and Abbey exposes Peter's bizarre habit of practising his golf swing completely naked after getting out of the shower.If you want to submit an Agony Ab or Ask Me Anything question to the podcast, hit the link below:https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1rAKD...00:00 - Welcome back to another NYC Ask Me Anything00:35 - Abbey admits she doesn't want to be a single parent01:02 - Peter jokes about week-on, week-off parenting01:38 - Listener asks Abbey for labour and birth advice02:20 - C-section vs natural birth and preparing for labour02:52 - Peter completely misunderstands oxytocin03:24 - Did Peter help... or annoy Abbey during labour?03:40 - Why all of their births were carefully planned04:12 - Abbey explains why football dictated delivery dates04:34 - Peter's biggest labour wind-up revealed05:06 - Nando's, pizza and making a starving Abbey jealous05:28 - Peter praises Abbey after giving birth06:12 - Would Abbey have another baby?06:34 - Sienna Miller, older mums and Rice Krispies jokes06:46 - Listener's hilarious drunk son confession07:05 - Climbing into mum's bed completely naked07:32 - The missing phone makes the story even worse08:13 - Abbey and Peter react to the unbelievable confession08:52 - Is having loads of bedroom mirrors a red flag?09:18 - How long is too long to stare at yourself?09:46 - Abbey admits her brother loves his reflection10:10 - Are men actually more vain than women?10:41 - Love Island, gym culture and mirror habits11:00 - Peter's hilarious opinion of himself11:15 - Abbey exposes Peter's naked golf swing routineTo contact us:Email: thetherapycrouch@gmail.comInstagram: / thetherapycrouchpodcast TikTok: / thetherapycrouch Website:https://thetherapycrouch.com/For more from Peter / petercrouch For more from Abbey / abbeyclancy Our clips channel / @thetherapycrouch-clipsch-om9dy Hosted on Acast.

As we continue our Ten Commandments series, we are focusing on how each and every Commandment given by God to Israel after their being freed from slavery has direct and profound meaning for us as Christians. While we live in a VERY different world, the principles of each of those Commandments are powerfully important for us to follow in our walk as disciples of Jesus. The Third Commandment tells us to not take God's name in vain. For the most part, we look at that and we might think, I don't use God's name in any inappropriate way, so I'm fine! Well, the reality is taking God's name in vain is far deeper, far more subtle and far more destructive than the words we use. We need to pay close attention! Beyond OMG! The Third Commandment, “Thou shalt not take the name of Jehovah thy God in vain,” reaches far deeper than avoiding careless speech. In this episode, we explore how “taking God's name” is about carrying His name, bearing it as a representative of His character. The commandment warns against taking God’s name in vain — living in a way that makes God's name appear empty, false, or inconsistent with the life of a disciple. It is not merely about words; it is about the integrity of our walk. Connecting Commandments The discussion begins by connecting the Third Commandment to the first two. When we allow doubt, divided loyalty or idolatry to take root, hypocrisy naturally follows. We may outwardly claim God's name while inwardly relying on our own desires, worldly influences or the persuasive voices of others. We discuss how this progression leads to a “forged signature,” a life that bears God's name but does not reflect His holiness. Jonah's story becomes a vivid example. As a prophet, he carried God's name, yet his refusal to obey revealed an idol of self‑will. Only in distress did Jonah recognize the emptiness of his own vanity and return to faithfulness. The Apostle Paul's transformation provides another powerful illustration. His impressive credentials once masked spiritual emptiness, but in Christ he learned to count all things as loss so he could bear God's name with sincerity. Practically speaking, how do we avoid becoming a “shell” of a Christian? By guarding our priorities, resisting worldly influences and rejecting leaders who twist Scripture for personal gain. Ultimately, Jesus' words in the Lord's Prayer, “Hallowed be Thy name,” show the positive side of the Third Commandment. To carry God's name is to treat it as sacred, letting it shape our character, our choices and our daily walk. Key Takeaways We are supposed to represent God with integrity at all times, not merely avoiding careless speech. Hypocrisy begins when doubt, idolatry or worldly influences distort our loyalty. Jonah and Paul illustrate how personal desires can forge a false spiritual identity. The antidote is returning to the first two commandments: no other gods, no idols. “Hallowed be Thy name” is the positive fulfillment of the Third Commandment—living in a way that honors God's holiness.

Have you ever woken up and wondered why? This episode explores the deeper question of why we're here and challenges the idea that work, wealth, and status alone can deliver a meaningful life. We reflect on how modern culture keeps people busy and striving, often without pausing to consider whether they're building the life they were truly made for.Drawing on Psalm 127, we distinguish between labor driven by worldly validation and work rooted in faith and purpose. The central message: ambition and responsibility aren't the problem, but they need to be directed toward serving God rather than constructing our own significance.Key Moments:0:00 Opening and the central question. Why did you wake up today?1:12 The pace of modern life and how busyness keeps people from their purpose1:43 The pressure of status, wealth, and work2:27 How the pattern begins early: school schedules, debt, and adult responsibility3:32 Work is not the enemy, but it becomes empty when disconnected from purpose4:03 Questioning the promise of happiness5:05 Accumulation versus communion5:39 The fading version of the dream7:21 Psalm 127 and labor in vain8:30 Earthly status versus heavenly status9:30 Reframing action and ambition11:11 Practical reflection for the week12:23 Closing encouragement

What does God's Word say about gay rights? The first mention in the Bible of this particular subject is found in Genesis 13:13, speaking of the men of Sodom and their sin. We find in this story of Lot's backsliding that he pitched his tent toward Sodom. The Bible says "But the men of Sodom were wicked and sinners before the LORD exceedingly."

The ministry is not merely a calling—it is a lifelong burden entrusted by God.In this sobering message, Brother Desmond Singh examines the weight of pastoral responsibility in an age marked by spiritual complacency, declining commitment, and widespread doctrinal error. Drawing from Scripture and decades of ministry experience, he reminds both shepherds and saints that God's work cannot be sustained by talent, tradition, or convenience, but only through faithful obedience, vigilance, and a heart wholly surrendered to Christ. This timely message challenges every believer to consider their responsibility to strengthen the Body of Christ before His soon return.

Onko maailmassa olemassa ilmiöitä, jotka tapahtuvat täysin sattumalta? Ja mitä oikeastaan on satunnaisuus? Monet satunnaisina pidetyt ilmiöthän ovat todellisuudessa deterministisiä eli väistämätöntä seurausta aiemmista tapahtumista ja luonnonlaeista. Esimerkiksi lottopallot kimpoilevat ja törmäilevät toisiinsa täysin klassisen fysiikan lakien mukaan, mutta pidämme lopputulosta sattumana. Miksi emme osaa ennustaa lottonumeroita? Taustalla on systeemin äärimmäinen herkkyys alkutilalle, kaaosteoria. Emme saa lottopalloja koskaan täysin samaan alkuasentoon, joten ne eivät arvonnan aikana kimpoile täysin samalla tavoin ja lopputulos on aina erilainen. Eli onko sattuma oikeasti vain kaaosta? Entä miten on mahdollista, että vaikka yksittäinen tapahtuma olisi sattumaa, suurten joukkojen käyttäytymistä voidaan ennustaa joskus hämmästyttävänkin tarkasti? Haastateltavina ovat matematiikan professorit Lasse Leskelä Aalto-yliopistosta ja Eero Saksman Helsingin yliopistosta. Toimittajana ja äänisuunnittelijana on Mari Heikkilä.

What is God's name? What does it mean to take it in vain?

Abby, Patrick, and Dan kick off Ordinary Unhappiness's Summer of Narcissism series! In this first episode of many, the three reckon with how talk of “narcissism” and “narcissists” is ubiquitous in contemporary culture, from therapy sessions to self-help-books to popular media to op-eds to the dating scene and beyond. Yet as Abby, Patrick, and Dan explore, “narcissism” in practice seems to mean radically different things to different people, gets invoked for wildly different purposes, and is hotly debated, with plentiful disagreements, even among specialists in any given field, let alone across disciplines. At the same time, the idea of narcissism speaks powerfully to people as they navigate personal relationships and struggle to make sense of group behaviors. Narcissism, in other words, is a quintessentially overdetermined concept, with simultaneously clinical, theoretical, and all-too-personal implications, and one that raises philosophical, political, and painfully practical questions about the relationship between normality and pathology, the individual and the collective, the clinical and the polemical, and more besides. It's both the beginning of a deep dive into the meanings, history, and stakes of a much used – and much-abused – buzzword and also a great (re)introduction to the Ordinary Unhappiness project and what it means to think psychoanalytically in general.

Malachi's final disputation exposes Israel's despairing complaint: “It is vain to serve God.” Peter Leithart, Jeff Meyers, Alastair Roberts, and James Bejon explore the loss of confidence that comes when the wicked seem to prosper and the righteous appear unrewarded. Along the way the conversation moves through Psalm 73, Job, the biblical shape of the problem of evil, the difference between short-term reward and eschatological vindication, and the priestly language of serving and guarding that echoes Adam's task in Eden. The episode closes with Malachi's surprising portrait of the faithful remnant: those who fear the Lord, speak with one another, and are written in His book of remembrance as His treasured possession — a remnant finally distilled in Jesus, the faithful Israelite.

You're judging God. "Wives, obey your husbands." Mental health in the black community. Some people want to wake up.

The 10 Commandments E6 — Shakespeare wrote in Romeo and Juliet, “What's in a name?” In the Bible, it turns out a lot, actually. The creator God Yahweh is the source of all life and good, so his name is the greatest name. But surprisingly, he attaches his name to Israel, a lowly nation of former slaves, and enters into a covenant with them. The covenant starts with a list of 10 commandments, or 10 words, and following these commandments will lead Israel to life and flourishing. In this episode, Tim and Jon discuss the 3rd Commandment, which is all about how Israel will carry Yahweh's name, or represent him to one another and the surrounding nations.
