Podcasts about vessels

What if the separation you have assumed your entire life has never actually existed?In this episode of The Alpha Male Coach Podcast, Kevin tells the story of a village built around a great lake. Every morning, the villagers arrive carrying vessels of different shapes, sizes, ages, and qualities. They lower those vessels into the same lake, fill them with water, and carry them home.Over generations, something strange happens.The villagers forget about the lake.Instead, they become obsessed with the vessels.They decorate them. Compare them. Judge them. Protect them. Build identities around them. Eventually, they begin speaking about the water inside as if it belongs to the vessel.My water.Your water.His water.Her water.Until one day, a boy drops his vessel and watches it shatter.What follows is a simple encounter with an old woman that begins dismantling everything the boy believes about the vessel, the water, and the apparent boundary between them.And from there, the inquiry turns toward us.We spend our lives counting vessels: bodies, personalities, histories, identities, successes, failures, relationships, beliefs, wounds, accomplishments, and names. We call one vessel “me” and everything beyond it “not me.”But what exactly creates that division?The body clearly has boundaries.Does consciousness?Where does awareness end?Where does the observer end and the observed begin?And can you actually locate the separate entity claiming ownership of experience?This episode is not an invitation to adopt another spiritual belief. Kevin isn't asking you to believe that “everything is one,” that “you are consciousness,” or even that there is no separate self.Those would simply become more ideas.Instead, this episode invites you into direct inquiry.The vessel gives water an apparent boundary - but does that boundary actually belong to the water?Perhaps awakening isn't about the individual becoming consciousness, merging with consciousness, or eventually returning to some universal source.Perhaps nothing ever left.Perhaps the seeker has spent a lifetime attempting to cross a boundary that cannot actually be found.The old woman doesn't give the boy a philosophy.She gives him a cup.Then she asks him to look.Where exactly does the lake end and the water in the cup begin?Don't answer from philosophy.Don't answer from religion.Don't answer from something you've heard Kevin say.Look for yourself.And if you cannot find the boundary -don't invent one.Stop counting the vessels.Look at the water.

In this episode of GuildSomm: Into the Glass, host and Master Sommelier Chris Tanghe speaks with two artisans of alternative aging vessels to explore what makes their preferred vessels special and how the resulting wines differ from those made with wood treatment.    Sebastián Zuccardi makes wines in the Uco Valley of Mendoza, Argentina, and has devoted his entire production to concrete. He has even taken the concept of terroir one step further by including the valley's alluvial soils as aggregate in the production of his concrete vessels.    Andrew Beckham is a classically trained potter. After falling for wine, he discovered the historical significance of clay vessels across multiple cultures, which led to the development of his own version. Dubbed Novum, Latin for "new beginning," his clay vessels are crafted in the Chehalem Mountain region of the Willamette Valley.  Be sure to check out all the latest content on GuildSomm.com!

In this episode, Halton Group executive Shuresh Maran joins Madelyn O'Farrell to explore how Halton designs mission-critical HVAC and ventilation systems for the most demanding environments, including cruise ships, naval vessels, nuclear facilities, offshore oil and gas, offshore wind, and modern data centers. Shuresh explains how Halton's core strengths—high-integrity engineering, rigorous testing, and long-life reliability—carry across sectors, and why their equipment must function flawlessly in rare but life-or-equipment-saving moments. He outlines the company's growth strategy to double revenue by 2030, driven by rebounding cruise demand, long-cycle nuclear buildouts (including small modular reactors), and booming offshore wind. The conversation also covers the shift to unmanned offshore platforms, the importance of cybersecurity and supply chain resilience in defense and energy, the rising expectations of data center owners around longevity and climate adaptation, and Halton's cautious approach to IoT and remote monitoring in security-sensitive environments. A key takeaway is that as energy and digital infrastructure scales, getting the physical built environment “right” from day one—by partnering with experienced suppliers—dramatically reduces operational risk and cost over a project's lifecycle.Highlights from their conversation include:Shuresh's Background and Global Career Journey (0:51)What Halton Group Does and Its Four Divisions (1:47)Why Ventilation Is Mission Critical in Extreme Environments (3:00)Operating Differently Inside Halton for Demanding Sectors (4:47)Growth Strategy and Doubling Revenue by 2030 (6:06)Offshore Wind vs Oil and Gas: What Transfers and What's New (7:18)Naval and Defense Demand, Long Project Cycles, and Cybersecurity (9:14)Data Centers, Reliability, and Climate Adaptation Pressures (11:41)Supply Chain, Standardization, and Reducing Bottlenecks (14:06)IoT, Remote Monitoring, and Cybersecurity Constraints (16:09)Future of Mission Critical Built Environments and Final Takeaways (18:44)Dynamo Ventures is a venture firm backing founders upgrading the physical economy.

Lucarelli and Dane. Dane's connection to organic materials started early in life while working for his father, a cooking professor, before transitioning to a greenhouse in Virginia and eventually pursuing formal studies at the Los Angeles Institute of Architecture and Design. Macy, coming from a background as a real estate agent, used large trees as memorable closing gifts for clients to keep his services top-of-mind. During the COVID-19 pandemic, while working out together in the empty parking lot of the Hollywood Bowl, Macy noticed a local nursery with long queues and proposed launching a plant business—unaware that Dane had just registered Green Vibes Plant Co.Combining forces under the memorable moniker "The Plant Daddies"—a nod to Macy's history of planting passion fruit vines across Los Angeles—the duo set out to reshape the indoor plant industry. Early in their business, a pivotal moment occurred during an installation in West Hollywood. While unloading specimen plants, movers brought in an authentic Basquiat painting on loan from the Broad Museum. When the entire family gathered to admire the plants rather than the multi-million dollar art piece, Macy and Dane realized that curated greenery could serve as the primary design statement in high-end architecture.Through a shared work ethic, constant experimentation, and a willingness to break traditional horticultural rules, Macy and Dane have cared for over 10,000 plants and trees. Supported by a third business partner, Kenny, who handles financial and administrative operations, the duo has expanded their practice into a multi-location design studio with locations in Los Angeles and Orange County.Explore more at: theplantdaddies.com

It's cargo is live people: scientists whose mission is the study the oceanographic environment. As it turns out, the Columbia River is an ideal option for ships who are in our region of the Pacific and need to make landfall for various routine reasons.

Recap and continuation: the categories of water, skins of dead animals, bones and hair, gold and silver vessels, and the Siwāk.1. About the Text and Its AuthorMatn Abī Shujāʿ is a short treatise (not a poem) detailing the rulings of fiqh according to the Shāfiʿī school. The English poem used in class is a translated rendering; the original is prose.* Author: Aḥmad ibn al-Ḥusayn al-Iṣfahānī, known as Qāḍī Abū Shujāʿ.* Origin: Isfahan, in Persia (modern Iran).* Death and burial: He passed away in Madinah and is buried in al-Baqīʿ, the graveyard beside Masjid al-Nabawī.The first book of the treatise is the Book of Purification (Kitāb al-Ṭahārah). It opens with the seven waters — waters that are fit to purify.2. The Four Categories of WaterWater is divided into four categories, each with its own ruling.Category 1 — Muṭlaq (Pure and Purifying)Muṭlaq water is both pure and purifying. A useful comparison: soap is clean and cleansing — “clean” means it is not dirty, “cleansing” means it can clean something else. In the same way:* Pure means the water itself is not filth (najis).* Purifying means it can be used to purify something else.Muṭlaq water is naturally occurring — it comes either from the sky or from the ground. From it come the seven waters:* Rain falling from the clouds* Sea water* River water* Well water* Spring water* Snow (from mountain summits)* HailNote on tap and bottled water: These are not listed by name, but they are still pure and purifying because they originate from these seven sources — rain collected in a dam, sea water processed through desalination, river water, spring water, or a bore drawn from a well. The summary principle: water that comes from the sky above or from the ground below is naturally occurring, pure, and purifying.Category 2 — Mushammas (Sun-Heated Water)Mushammas is water left in a metal container and exposed to intense sun. The metal requirement is essential — water heated in plastic, clay, or other non-metal containers does not become mushammas. It also requires genuine heat: a mild warm day does not qualify, but extreme heat (for example, 40°C+) does.* Ruling: Still pure and still purifying, but its use is makrūh (disliked).* Once the water cools, the dislike (karāhah) ends and it returns to muṭlaq.Category 3 — Mustaʿmal (Used Water)There are two types of mustaʿmal:* Water that has already been used for wuḍūʾ or ghusl — it cannot be reused for purification.* Water mixed with something pure that changes its properties — for example, coffee. It can still be drunk, but it cannot be used for wuḍūʾ.Ruling: Pure, and may be drunk, but no longer purifying.Category 4 — Mutanajjis (Impure Water)Water that has become contaminated — for example, a bird droppings falling into a container of water.* Ruling: No longer pure and no longer purifying. It may not be drunk, cooked with, or used.The exception — Two Qullahs: If the water is a large volume — two qullahs, roughly 200 litres — then a small amount of impurity does not affect it. However, if the water's colour, smell, or taste changes, it becomes mutanajjis regardless of volume.Illustration: Sea water is far more than two qullahs. But in places where large numbers of animals are killed and the sea water visibly turns red, the change in colour means that water has become mutanajjis — because a defining property has changed.3. Skins of Dead Animals (Maitah)Maitah is an animal that dies without being properly slaughtered.* Base ruling: Maitah is najis — the entire animal, including the meat and the skin.* The exception (dibāgh / tanning): When the skin is tanned and turned into leather, it becomes pure. This is why leather goods (a belt, a bag, a boot) do not need to be checked for whether the animal was slaughtered — turning skin into leather is itself the tanning that purifies it.How tanning works: The fat and any parts that would decompose are removed using a sharp tool and treated with acid, chemicals, or certain plants. Once tanned, the skin is no longer najis.Exception to the exception: Two animals whose skins remain najis even after tanning — the dog and the pig.Definition of “dog” in fiqh: a canine that barks. This is a precise definition:* Wolves are canines but do not bark — so they are not classed as dogs here.* Foxes are canines but do not bark.* Hyenas do not bark.* Cats are not canines at all (they are feline).4. Why This Order? Process and System ThinkingThe sequence of chapters is deliberate. Once you have found water, you need a way to carry and store it — and the most common container historically was the leather pouch. So the chapter on water is followed directly by the ruling on skins.The traditional scholars are training a way of thinking: disciplined, ordered, systematic. We do not think haphazardly; we arrange ideas into a process that is beneficial and useful. This applies well beyond fiqh — it is a life skill.Example — brainstorming. An undisciplined brainstorm drifts from the actual goal into unrelated tangents. Edward de Bono's Six Thinking Hats method disciplines the process: you deliberately wear one “hat” at a time (for example, a green hat for all possibilities, then a red hat for risks), each for a set time. Structured thinking is more productive. Reading traditional texts (turāth, meaning “traditional”) trains this same disciplined, step-by-step approach.5. Bones and HairSince the discussion is already about dead animals, the text settles their bones and hair as well — because when you come across a dead animal, you find not only skin but bones and hair too.* The bones and hair of a maitah are najis. Tanning (dibāgh) cannot be applied to hair, so they remain impure.* If the animal was properly slaughtered, there is no problem.* Exception: the remains of a human being. Because God has honoured the children of Adam, that honour extends to human bone and skin — they are not najis.6. Gold and Silver VesselsContinuing the theme of containers: some wealthy people would use vessels of gold and silver.* Ruling: It is not permitted to use vessels made of gold or silver.* Reason: Gold and silver are a medium of exchange — currency that holds value. Using them as everyday vessels is a sheer display of excess, which Islam discourages.* Vessels of any other material are permitted.Bone china: Some of the most expensive plates are made of “bone china” — bone of certain animals crushed and mixed into a fine porcelain. Recall the ruling on bones: if the animal was not slaughtered, it is maitah, and therefore najis.7. The SiwākThe Siwāk is anything coarse enough to clean the teeth and mouth — it can be a toothbrush, a cloth, or even a finger. The Prophet ﷺ used a stick from the arāk tree.Its importance and reward:* The Prophet ﷺ said that were it not for the fear of making it difficult for his ummah, he would have made the siwāk obligatory — at every wuḍūʾ (in one narration) or at every prayer (in another).* Oral hygiene is emphasised in Islam. Eating foul-smelling food and then going to the masjid is makrūh; one should clean the mouth first.* Praying with a siwāk is reported to carry many times the reward of praying without one.When to use it — general: The siwāk is praiseworthy at every time and everywhere. The Prophet ﷺ would use it before entering his house, so that his family would be comfortable in his company.Exception — the fasting person: For someone fasting, using the siwāk after midday (around Ẓuhr) is no longer sunnah.Three times it is especially recommended:* When the mouth's odour changes — for example, after being silent for a long time or not having eaten or drunk for a while.* Upon waking from sleep.* When rising to pray.That concludes this lesson.

Send us Fan MailYou can spend a lifetime trying to find the one thing that makes you “worthy” of God's mercy, and Romans 9 cuts that search off at the root. We talk through the stunning claim that we are vessels of mercy not because of foreseen merit, not because God looked ahead and saw we would believe first, and not because our will is somehow better than someone else's. We are made from the same lump, and the only reason any of us stands is sovereign grace.From there, we wrestle with what Paul is doing across Romans 9 through 11: stripping away boasting in outward privilege and putting the spotlight where it belongs. Salvation becomes a theater where the riches of God's glory are displayed as guilty sinners are pardoned, justified, adopted, sanctified, preserved, and ultimately glorified. That isn't abstract Reformed theology for debate points; it's meant to bring comfort to the soul and produce a grateful, humble walk.We also tackle assurance of salvation head-on. If God “prepared beforehand unto glory,” what does that say about losing salvation? We connect the logic of predestination, calling, justification, and glorification to the keeping power of God and the finished work of Christ. We close with a practical discernment filter for confusing doctrines: does the teaching lead you to the Creator or the creation, and does it land on Christ as the answer?If this encouraged you, subscribe, share it with a friend who needs rest, and leave a review so more people can find the conversation.Support the showBE PROVOKED AND BE PERSUADED!

Send us Fan MailGod could end evil in an instant, so why doesn't He? We start with Israel watching the Red Sea open, then doubting almost immediately, and we follow that same human pattern into one of the hardest themes in Christian theology: God's long suffering. We talk about why divine patience should never be mistaken for approval, weakness, or indifference, and why the delay of judgment is part of a deliberate purpose that's unfolding across history. From Pharaoh and the plagues to Romans 9, we explore how God patiently endures rebellion while still directing outcomes, and how that patience leaves the final judgment unmistakably just. Then we tackle the “same lump of clay” argument head-on by bringing Judas into the picture: we're not saved because we're better, and the lost aren't condemned because they're made from different material. The difference is mercy and grace, not superior clay. We also debate whether God's sovereignty and human responsibility run like parallel train tracks or whether they truly intersect, using Proverbs, God's decree, and the idea of God employing real human desires as real means. Along the way, we touch on election language from Romans 11 and keep returning to the central thread: God's glory. Salvation isn't only rescue; it's God making known the riches of His glory on vessels of mercy prepared beforehand for glory. If you've ever wondered how patience, justice, sovereignty, and human accountability fit together, this conversation will stretch you in the best way.

Send us Fan MailPredestination gets treated like a math problem, but Romans treats it like a window into God's mercy and our humility. We argue for a clear distinction many people miss: God mercifully intervenes to save, while judgment happens as God does not intervene to stop rebels from pursuing what they already want. That's why we call “double predestination” a false symmetry, and why Romans 8:29 matters so much when it says predestination has a purpose: conformity to the image of Christ. From there, we lean hard into Romans 9 and the potter and clay. If all humanity is the same fallen “lump,” then nobody negotiates their way into the kingdom and nobody gets to boast. We talk openly about how modern religion often denies the fall, turns salvation into a personal deal-making process, and resists the idea that God has the right to do what he wills with what belongs to him. Along the way, we also address end-times assumptions tied to dispensationalism and rapture teaching that divides Jew and Gentile, and we explain why that clashes with the “same lump” reality. We also unpack one of the most debated phrases in the chapter: “vessels of wrath fitted to destruction” versus “vessels of mercy, which he had afore prepared for glory.” We connect that wording to divine hardening, God's long-suffering, and Pharaoh's role in displaying God's power to his people, with a forward look to the justice-and-worship themes echoed in Revelation.

Send us Fan MailRomans 9 doesn't leave room for religious pride, and it doesn't let us soften the sharp edges with word games. We pick up at Romans 9:21 and walk straight into the potter and clay picture, where Paul insists there is “the same lump” of fallen humanity and God has the right to form vessels for honor and for dishonor. That single phrase knocks out the assumption that anyone has a better starting point with God because of heritage, culture, or any other external advantage.We also tackle the pushback Paul expects: “Why does he still find fault?” If God is sovereign, is that injustice? We argue no, because mercy is never owed, and judgment is righteous because of real sin. We make a careful distinction between how God saves and how God judges: grace is God's active rescue that creates a new heart with new desires, while condemnation is God withholding mercy he is not obligated to give, leaving sinners in the state they already chose.Along the way, we challenge the habit of calling parts of God's Word “secondary,” and we point out how the gospel runs from the Old Testament prophets to Christ without changing.

The Ship Report, Tuesday, August 25, 2026Today we'll hear the first of a two-part interview on ship lights from the Ship Report archives, from an interview I did years ago with Columbia River Bar Pilot Captain Robert Johnson. Light colors and placement are not random, and their patterns hold great meaning for other vessels that may see them at night. There are running lights, which give other vessels important information about a vessel's location and heading, and work lights, which allow crews to work safely at night on deck and allow the ship to be clearly seen at anchor.

We're back! The Vessels talk about all their Summer shenanigans, including impressions of California Extreme 2026, Halo: Campaign Evolved & much more.

Captain James Fanell: Captain James Fanell reports on China's escalating campaign to annex international waters east of Taiwan. For the first time, Chinese vessels are interrogating ships on the high seas, an outrageous violation of maritime norms. This aggression occurs as the US Navy is severely overstretched, with carrier deployments extending to nine months and the arsenal of democracy being depleted by conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East. Fanell urges the US and partner navies to conduct joint maneuvers with Taiwan to counter Beijing's comprehensive national power strategy. (3)

AP's Lisa Dwyer reports that Russia is threatening to seize western ships.

There is a great mercy hidden within these unsettling sayings from the Evergetinos. The Desert Fathers do not speak to us about spiritual warfare in order to make us preoccupied with the devil. They speak about it so that we might become sober, humble, and utterly dependent upon Christ. This is one of the great blessings the Desert Fathers continue to offer the Church. They expose what ordinarily remains hidden. Modern man tends to imagine temptation almost exclusively in terms of dramatic moral choices. We think of sin as something obvious placed before the will: Will I do this or will I not? But the Fathers understood the human heart far more subtly. Long before the temptation becomes an obvious choice, something has often already begun moving within us: a thought entertained, an irritation indulged, a desire awakened, an image cherished, a conversation replayed, praise secretly enjoyed, an injury remembered, a judgment formed, prayer postponed. The enemy rarely begins by asking us to renounce God. He asks only that we become slightly inattentive. And so Abba Simon gives us one of the most important sentences in tonight's reading: “Keep watch inside your cell, and keep watch outside it.” The brother cannot understand why he leaves his cell, becomes caught up in the distraction of others, laughs when they laugh, talks when they talk, and then discovers upon returning that the peace he formerly possessed has disappeared. He wants to move between recollection and distraction without consequence. Abba Simon tells him gently but firmly: That is impossible. The heart carries within itself what it consents to. This is why nepsis—watchfulness—is so central to the spirituality of the desert. The Fathers discovered that the cell is not merely a physical room. Ultimately, the cell is the heart. We must learn to inhabit it wherever we are. Solitude without vigilance will not save us, nor will activity necessarily destroy us. What matters is whether the heart remains awake before God. The modern elders say the same. St. Porphyrios continually warned against becoming fascinated with darkness. We do not overcome darkness by staring at it. We turn toward Christ. St. Paisios likewise spoke with great realism about the suggestions of the enemy, yet his emphasis was always upon humility and trust in God. St. Silouan and St. Sophrony understood perhaps most deeply that spiritual warfare is finally a battle over where the heart will abide: in itself or in Christ. This is precisely why these passages must never be read merely intellectually. We can study the taxonomy of temptation and still remain utterly blind to ourselves. Indeed, that may itself become another temptation. The moment I read these sayings and begin identifying the passions of other people, I have already missed their purpose. The proper response is much simpler: There but for the grace of God go I. “Satan Is Not Dead” Perhaps the most sobering saying tonight is the Elder's response to the man who declares, “I am dead to the world.” “You may say that you are dead, but Satan is not dead.” What extraordinary spiritual realism. The Fathers distrust premature declarations about ourselves. I have conquered this passion. I am beyond that temptation. This no longer affects me. I have reached dispassion. I understand myself now. No. The desert teaches us never to presume upon yesterday's victory. This is not because the Fathers are pessimistic about grace. Quite the opposite. They are so convinced of the power of grace that they refuse to confuse grace with human self-confidence. A man who knows his weakness can be extraordinarily strong because he clings to Christ. A man convinced of his strength is already standing dangerously alone. This is why the account of the dying monk is so striking. Satan says, “You have eluded me,” and even then the Elder replies: “I do not yet know whether I have eluded you.” There is no spiritual swagger here. No confidence in accomplishments. No inventory of virtues. Only vigilance until the final breath. The Trembling of Agathon Then comes Abba Agathon. He has spent his life seeking God. Yet as death approaches and the brothers ask whether he is confident that his deeds have been pleasing to God, he answers: “God's judgment is one thing, man's another.” This is not neurotic scrupulosity. It is humility purified of illusion. Agathon knows something we continually forget: we cannot finally stand outside ourselves and judge our own souls. Even our virtues may contain admixtures we cannot perceive. Generosity may conceal a hunger to be needed. Zeal may conceal anger. Orthodoxy may conceal pride. Asceticism may conceal self-reliance. Service may conceal the desire for recognition. Even repentance itself can become subtly self-absorbed. Therefore Agathon places himself entirely before God. And notice how the story ends. He dies in joy. This is crucial. The humility of the Desert Fathers does not lead to despair. It leads to freedom. Agathon has nothing left to defend. Nothing to prove. Nothing to claim for himself. He places everything into the hands of God and ascends “as one who greets his friends and loved ones.” True humility ends in joy because it has surrendered the impossible burden of saving itself. The Vessels of the Enemy The extraordinary vision of Abba Makarios brings all of this together. The devil appears covered with vessels containing different means of temptation. One attacks prayer with drowsiness. Another Scripture with physical discomfort. Another obedience. Another chastity. Another speech. Another appetite. Another humility through pride. Another virtue through vainglory. Another remembrance of eternity through forgetfulness. The image may seem strange to us, but its psychological and spiritual insight is profound. The enemy studies where we are vulnerable. He does not tempt everyone identically. And more importantly, he frequently attacks us precisely where we are seeking God. When we pray, suddenly we become tired. When we seek silence, a hundred apparently urgent thoughts arise. When we begin fasting, food occupies our imagination. When we perform some good work, we begin wondering whether anyone noticed. When God gives us spiritual insight, we subtly begin thinking ourselves spiritually insightful. When we experience grace, we may begin secretly believing that the grace belongs to us. Even virtue can become the material of temptation. This is why Makarios sees vessels around the devil's neck filled with pride and human glory. The enemy does not care whether he captures us through obvious vice or apparent virtue. He cares only that the gaze of the heart moves away from Christ and returns to itself. And perhaps the most frightening vessel is the one containing forgetfulness. The enemy makes “the memory of these things disappear.” Forgetfulness is not simply poor memory. In the language of the Fathers, it is an existential forgetfulness of God. We forget who we are. We forget whose we are. We forget death. We forget judgment. We forget mercy. We forget the Kingdom. We forget the presence of Christ. And once remembrance disappears, almost anything can enter. This is why the Jesus Prayer is so powerful. “Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me.” It is remembrance restored. The Name gathers the scattered heart. The Name interrupts the conversation with the logismoi. The Name returns us to Presence. Sitting With the Fathers This is why we need to journey with the Desert Fathers rather than merely read them. Their sayings are not curiosities from an exotic period of Christian history. They are maps of the human heart. We should read them slowly enough that they begin reading us. Where am I inattentive? Where have I become confident in myself? What thought do I repeatedly entertain? Where do I seek human approval? What happens to my heart after certain conversations? What destroys my recollection? What makes prayer difficult? Where has forgetfulness entered? And above all: Where am I relying upon myself rather than Christ? These questions should not produce anxiety. They should produce humility. The Desert Fathers were not obsessed with demons. They were captivated by God. Precisely because they desired God so intensely, they learned to recognize everything that sought to draw the heart away from Him. And they knew they did not fight alone. We live within the communion of the Church. The angels surround us. The saints intercede for us. The Mother of God shelters us. The prayers of the Church carry us. Our guardian angel accompanies us. And the Name of Jesus is placed upon our lips. The evil one may indeed be relentless. But he is not sovereign. Christ is. Makarios can interrogate the devil precisely because Christ has already conquered him. The powers of darkness are exposed because the Light has come into the world. And so vigilance is not fearfully watching for Satan behind every movement of life. Vigilance is keeping the heart turned toward Christ. The safest person spiritually is therefore not the one who thinks, I would never fall into that. It is the one who whispers: Lord, without You I could fall into anything. Keep me. Guard my heart. Give me remembrance of You. Send Your holy angels to protect me. Through the prayers of Your saints, preserve me from deception. And then we understand why we must keep returning to the desert. The Fathers know the terrain. They have watched thoughts arise and disappear. They have suffered temptation. They have fallen and risen. They have learned the terrible danger of self-confidence and the astonishing strength hidden in humility. They take us by the hand and teach us to watch. Inside the cell. Outside the cell. Until our final breath. Not because we are terrified of the darkness, but because we have discovered something infinitely more beautiful that we do not wish to lose sight of: the face of Christ. --- Text of chat during the group: 00:08:04 Fr. Charbel Abernethy: Volume 3 page 54 number 3 00:56:55 James Hickman: In the past year or so, certain Catholic exorcists have come under attack for describing a bit of their healing ministry. For instance, some attack the priests for revealing that the devil has told them x, y, or z. The attackers, who only seem to attack the priests behind their backs, say that the priests are either lying or that they've been misled by the devil, for the demons can't be trusted. I trust these priests, and here Abba Macarius is just one more witness to the power of the Church to compel the demons, if it be God's holy will, to share what otherwise we wouldn't know. I suppose I'm sharing this hoping more of us will pray for these exorcists and for priests in general. Abba Macarius, pray for us! 01:04:00 Forrest: The appearance of the Devil in this story reminds me of an earlier hypothesis where a great saint laughed at a group of demons struggling to lift a single feather.  How hard it was for them! Here the Prince of Demons wears many vessels with feathers attached. 01:04:25 Adam Paige: The 35 Doctors of the Church: Revised Edition by Rev. Christopher Rengers, O.F.M. Cap 01:18:27 Rebecca Thérèse: Uriah the Hittite 01:20:25 Julie: Thank you

"We hold this treasure in jars of clay — so the power belongs to God, not us." Weakness is not a barrier to God's glory. It is often the very thing He uses to shine through. Broken vessels let the light out.

Both parties selected Chinese law as the governing law for resolving the substantive issues. A representative of one of the ship owners said the company decided to submit the dispute to a Chinese court because of its trust in the impartiality and fairness of the country's legal and judicial systems.

While their missile capabilities rely on Iran, the Houthis have refined domestic drone production using Chinese components. Shippers are already rerouting around Africa, as even the threat of sporadic attacks makes transiting the Bab al-Mandeb a risk global enterprises are unwilling to take. (9)1962 SOVIET EMBASSY YEMEN

Mark Logue - July 19th 2026 What if the greatest obstacle between you and God isn't your weakness—but the illusion that you're doing just fine? Most of us would never say we're self-sufficient. But it's possible to become so busy, comfortable, capable, and familiar with church that we slowly stop living with the desperate dependence that marks a life with Christ. The story of a widow with nothing but a small jar of oil reveals something surprising about the heart of God. His provision isn't limited by His ability to give—it's often limited by our willingness to receive. The question isn't whether God is enough. The question is whether we've made room for Him. If you've ever felt spiritually dry, distracted, or found yourself going through the motions of faith, this message is an invitation to pause, examine what has crowded your heart, and rediscover the joy of daily dependence on Jesus. God isn't looking for impressive people. He's looking for available ones. And His grace is still greater than your need.
