Did you know that in addition to saving the free world, Churchill was also an accomplished painter? In this episode of the Anglotopia Podcast, Jonathan Thomas sits down with Dr. Lucy Davis — curator of paintings at the Wallace Collection in London and co-curator of Winston Churchill the Painter, the first major retrospective of Churchill's art in over 60 years and the first substantial UK exhibition devoted to his paintings since his death in 1965. The exhibition brings together nearly 60 works, roughly half from private collections rarely accessible to the public, and traces the full arc of Churchill's artistic life: from the tentative canvases he made during the darkest moment of his World War I career, through the luminous Mediterranean harbors and Moroccan cityscapes of his mature period, to the bold late works of a man who found in painting one of the greatest solaces of his life. Lucy walks Jonathan through the story of how Churchill came to paint, the three major artists who shaped his style — John Lavery, Walter Sickert, and William Nicholson — the single painting he made during World War II, the extraordinary Hallmark Cards world tour, and why the Wallace Collection is the perfect home for this once-in-a-lifetime show. The exhibition runs until November 29, 2026. Book your tickets now. Lucy is very grateful to her colleagues at Hallmark Cards, Inc. for their research into the World Tour of Churchill's paintings, which she has referenced in this podcast.

This is a genuinely once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Churchill took up painting in 1915 at the lowest point of his life, following the catastrophic failure of the Dardanelles campaign. His wife Clementine later said she thought he would die of grief — and it was painting that gave him back his spark. Churchill was never formally trained, but worked closely with at least three leading professional artists: John Lavery (portraiture and plein air painting), Walter Sickert (modernist techniques and working from photographs), and William Nicholson (still life, tonal restraint, and simplified composition). Churchill's single painting during World War II was a view of Marrakesh, painted the day after he took President Roosevelt to see the sunset over the Atlas Mountains following the Casablanca Conference. He gave it to Roosevelt as a gift — it is in the exhibition, facing the painting he later gave to President Eisenhower. The Wallace Collection's connection to Churchill runs deeper than the exhibition: Odette Pol Roger was born Odette Wallace as great-granddaughter of Sir Richard Wallace, became Churchill's close friend, and reserved an entire vintage of Pol Roger champagne for him. A quarter-bottle believed to be one of the last he drank before his death in 1965 is on display in the exhibition. Churchill's paintings were the subject of a record-breaking world tour of North America, Australia, and New Zealand in 1958, masterminded by President Eisenhower and Joyce C. Hall, founder of Hallmark Cards. Churchill initially refused — until Eisenhower wrote him a personal letter about the wave of goodwill it would create. Churchill submitted paintings to competitions under the pseudonym "David Winter" and was given the title of Honorary Academician Extraordinary by the Royal Academy — only the second person ever to receive this honor, after Edward VII. The goldfish pool at Chartwell — Lucy's personal favorite painting in the exhibition — contains a detail invisible in photography: the ripple created by the fish on the surface, painted in a subtle mauve-grey. Lucy says it perfectly summarizes Churchill's playful, witty personality. Picasso, upon seeing Churchill's painting La Dragonnière, said (paraphrasing) that Churchill would have been a good professional painter if he hadn't had something else to do. The painting is in the exhibition. The new edition of Churchill's own book Painting as a Pastime — with an introduction by Paul Rafferty — has just been published and is the perfect companion to the exhibition. It explains in Churchill's own words why he took up painting and why everyone else should too. Soundbites "Clementine was looking on and she was so relieved to see him engaged in something. He talked about all this unwanted leisure — going from a really high-pressured executive job to suddenly watching the whole tragedy unfold. To see that spark lit up again." — Lucy on Clementine's reaction when Churchill first picked up a paintbrush. "He said painting was a complete distraction. He said: I know nothing which without exhausting the body more entirely absorbs the mind." — Lucy quoting Churchill on why painting worked when nothing else could. "He's painting the headquarters of the battalion as it was progressively being shelled and devastated. One of his young soldiers said he was unusually quiet and withdrawn and asked what was wrong — and he said: I've been really struggling to paint the craters." — Lucy on Churchill painting in the trenches at Plug Street. "He said it should be a joy ride in a paint box. Nobody should feel afraid or daunted by it. We don't have to aspire to masterpieces." — Lucy on Churchill's message to anyone who wants to paint. "A traveling exhibition of your paintings in the United States would not only attract a great deal of attention, but I am certain it would serve in a very definite way to strengthen the friendship between our two countries." — Lucy quoting Eisenhower's letter persuading Churchill to allow the world tour. "He submitted a painting in 1925 to an amateur painting competition and won first prize — although one of the judges wanted to disqualify it because he thought it must be by a professional painter." — Lucy on Churchill exhibiting anonymously under the pseudonym David Winter. "Picasso said — and I'm paraphrasing — that he would have been a good professional painter if he didn't have something else to do." — Lucy on Picasso's verdict on Churchill's painting La Dragonnière. "There's a particular detail that doesn't come out in photography — the ripple created by the fish on the surface that he's painted in this sort of mauve-grey color. It's just such a lovely finishing touch and really summarizes that playful, witty side of his personality." — Lucy on her favorite painting in the exhibition, the goldfish pool at Chartwell. "He made the gardener row back and forth across the moat to create ripples so he could try a different effect in the water." — Lucy on Churchill's obsessive dedication to capturing reflections accurately. "I think he would like to see us leaving the exhibition with smiles on our faces and with an urge to pick up a paintbrush." — Lucy on what Churchill himself would have wanted visitors to take away.

Walking Through the Underworld with Rav Hirsch Naftali Niftauti (Collective Writing IX)

In this sermon from Walking Through the Psalms, Dave Jenkins preaches from Psalm 146 and explains why believers must place their ultimate trust in the Lord rather than in earthly rulers, institutions, or human strength. Psalm 146 calls Christians to lifelong praise, confident hope, and steadfast trust in the God who reigns forever and faithfully cares for His people.This message considers the danger of misplaced trust, the temptation of political idolatry, the faithfulness of God, and how Psalm 146 points us to Jesus Christ, the eternal King who alone saves sinners.Listen and WatchSermon SummaryPsalm 146 opens with a personal call to worship: “Praise the Lord, O my soul.” Before calling others to praise God, the psalmist first directs his own heart toward the Lord. True worship begins with recognizing God's greatness, faithfulness, and worthiness of praise.The psalm then warns believers not to place their ultimate trust in princes, rulers, or human strength. Human leaders are temporary, limited, and unable to save. Their plans perish, their power fades, and their lives come to an end. While Christians should pray for leaders and participate responsibly in society, Psalm 146 reminds us that our ultimate hope must never rest in any earthly authority.In contrast to the limitations of man, the Lord is the Creator of heaven and earth who keeps faith forever. He executes justice for the oppressed, provides for the needy, and remains faithful to every promise He has made. Because God never changes, believers can face uncertainty with confidence and hope.The psalm concludes by celebrating God's compassionate care for His people and His eternal reign. The Lord lifts up the humble, watches over the vulnerable, and rules forever. His kingdom never ends, His authority never fails, and His faithfulness remains constant through every generation.Ultimately, Psalm 146 points us to Jesus Christ, the eternal King. Human leaders cannot save sinners, but Christ alone redeems, restores, and reigns forever. Through His death and resurrection, Jesus provides the hope and salvation that no earthly ruler can ever offer.Key TakeawaysThe Lord alone is worthy of lifelong praise.Human leaders cannot bear the weight of our ultimate trust.God remains faithful to all His promises.The Lord cares for the weak, vulnerable, and needy.Jesus Christ is the eternal King who alone saves sinners.Believers can trust God completely because He reigns forever.More from Walking Through the PsalmsExplore more sermons in the Walking Through the Psalms series at https://servantsofgrace.org/category/sermons/psalms/.Subscribe to the Servants of Grace YouTube channel for more biblical teaching, expository preaching, and theology resources: https://www.youtube.com/servantsofgrace.

In today's deep dive into Exodus 32–34, we look at the infamous story of the golden calf but with a perspective you might have never considered. The Israelites weren't abandoning God for atheism; they were trying to redesign their faith into something familiar, comfortable, and controllable.Are we doing God's will God's way, or are we rewriting the script to fit our own schedules and desires?Be sure to follow 614 Church online:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/614_church/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/614church/Website: https://www.614church.orgTo support our ministry, https://614church.org/give/To fill out a contact card so we can stay in touch, click the link below!https://614.churchcenter.com/people/forms/283193Until Everyone Knows Jesus.

Send us Fan MailProminent music publicist and SiriusXM radio host Eric Alper explores the intersection of the music industry, systemic barriers for Indigenous artists and the way forward for truth and conciliation in Canada.In this conversation with cohosts Jessica Vandenberghe and George Lee, Alper reflects on his 30-year career, his lifelong passion for the magic of storytelling in music, and why he adopts the mindset of a "shameless idealist" when fighting to get musicians heard."I keep saying yes to doing things for no other reason that I just like and love music, and I like being around people that make magic happen, because I can't play a single note," Alper says. "I've never written a song before. You stick me in a recording studio, I've absolutely no idea, zero, what and how anything is done." But what he does know is that the entertainment industry has historically excluded and exploited Indigenous voices. At the same time, he notes that classifying Indigenous music as a distinct genre undervalues the breadth of musical styles within the scene today.Among the Indigenous artists and acts Alper highlights are Francis Baptiste, Tom Wilson, Crystal Shawanda, Northern Cree, Susan Aglukark, Mattmac, Mike Bern, Duke Redbird and Donita Large.Also getting a special shoutout is the non-Indigenous group Sultans of String and its cofounder Chris McKhool for their groundbreaking collaborations with Indigenous acts in Canada, resulting in the album Walking Through the Fire.McKhool has "kind of been a beacon" for people trying to right the wrongs against Indigenous communities and individuals in Canada, Alper says.Support the showJoin our Facebook community: www.facebook.com/UnsettledJourneys/Check us out on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/unsettledjourneys/Become a paid subscriber: https://ko-fi.com/unsettledjourneysQuestions, comments, suggestions, offers to volunteer:unsettledjourneys@gmail.com

Always On Time" I. Introduction: Defining "On Time" Human vs. Divine Timeline: We all view time differently (e.g., being hours early like Pastor Rhonda's father, pulling in at the last exact minute, or having a "when I get there, I get there" attitude). The Mismatched Watch: Pastor Rhonda shares a story of her father getting anxious about being late, only to realize his watch was still set to a different time zone. We often get aggravated or anxious with God simply because we are looking at our own clock instead of His. Core Truth: God does not operate on our timeline or synchronize His eternal watch with ours. His delays are deliberate, purposeful, and designed to bring Him glory. II. Point 1: The Danger of Rushing God The only thing worse than waiting on God is wishing you had waited on Him. Scriptural Warnings of Impatience: King Saul: Took matters into his own hands and offered an unauthorized sacrifice because his men were scattering and the prophet Samuel was delayed. As a result, the kingdom was torn from him. Abraham and Sarah: Attempted to force God's promise of a child by involving Hagar, resulting in the birth of Ishmael and generational warfare. The Counter-Culture of God's Delays: Even when humanity makes mistakes or tries to rush the process, God is powerful enough to rewrite the story (e.g., the massive revivals occurring today among the descendants of Ishmael in places like Iran). III. Point 2: The Nature of the Waiting Room What is "Waiting"?: In Isaiah 43, the Hebrew word for waiting (qavah) means to be tightly woven together like cords. The Principle: True waiting means binding your heart to the Lord, not to the outcome or the specific thing you are asking for. The Reality of Turbulence: Life brings unexpected turbulence, much like a bumpy flight 30,000 feet in the air. When God chooses not to immediately stop the turbulence, He provides the necessary grace to walk through it. God's Arrangement: In Ecclesiastes, "beautiful in its time" translates from a root meaning arranged, precise, orderly, and fitting. God is intricately preparing the circumstances to display His glory perfectly. IV. Point 3: He Reaches Down and Lifts Us Up An Eyewitness to Deliverance: Our survival through past trials isn't luck, coincidence, or superstition—it is a direct testimony of God doing what only He can do. The Ultimate "Reach": God bridges the massive gap between His absolute holiness and our deep hopelessness. Calvary was the ultimate extension of God reaching down to humanity. Deep Waters: Deep waters represent situations heavier and stronger than we are—depression, grief, financial crisis, or broken relationships. Even David, the mighty warrior who killed Goliath, had to admit when an enemy was too strong for him. The Parent Metaphor: Just as a parent jumps fully clothed into a pool to rescue a drowning child without a second thought, God moves urgently into our deep waters to rescue us and place us in a "spacious place" of freedom. V. Point 4: Walking Through the Fire The Purpose of the Furnace: Fiery trials are not strange occurrences; they are vehicles to burn off the "fake" attributes (like pride or addiction) and solidify genuine, veteran faith. Identity in the Fire: When Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego were thrown into the furnace, the Babylonian king tried to change their identities by renaming them. However, Christ walked into the fire with them, burning away only their bindings. The Hebrew Meanings of the Three Hebrews: Hananiah (Shadrach): "Yahweh has been gracious." Mishael (Meshach): "Who is like our God?" Azariah (Abednego): "Yahweh has helped." The Fire's Expiration Date: Every trial has a limit. The world cannot alter your identity as a son or daughter of God, and you will come out of the fire not even smelling like smoke. VI. Conclusion: God Rescues Because He Delights in You Relentless Delight: God doesn't love or rescue us out of obligation or because we performed perfectly this week. He is overwhelmed with delight for His children because of Jesus Christ. The Final Declaration: God is worth waiting for. From Joseph to Esther, to the arrival of Jesus in the fullness of time, He has proven that He is an all-time God who cannot fail. Scripture Index Here are the key verses read, cited, or closely paraphrased throughout the service: Psalm 18:1-3 > "I will love you, O Lord, my strength. The Lord is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer; my God, my strength in whom I will trust; my shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold. I will call upon the Lord, who is worthy to be praised..." Psalm 126:1-5 > "When the Lord turned again the captivity of Zion, we were like those that dreamed. Then our mouth was filled with laughter, and our tongue with singing... They that sow in tears shall reap in joy." 1 Samuel 13 (Referenced) – The account of King Saul prematurely offering the sacrifice and Samuel declaring the kingdom torn away. Genesis 16 (Referenced) – Abraham, Sarah, Hagar, and the birth of Ishmael. Isaiah 40:31 (Referenced) – Waiting (qavah) on the Lord to renew strength and mount up with wings like eagles. Ecclesiastes 3:11 > "He has made everything beautiful in its time." Romans 8:38-39 (Paraphrased) – The conviction that no principalities, powers, height, or depth can separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus. Isaiah 43:1-3 > "...Do not fear, for I have redeemed you; I have summoned you by name; you are mine. When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow you. When you walk through the fire, you shall not be burned; the flames will not set you ablaze. For I am the Lord your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior."   1 Peter 4:12 > "Dear friends, do not be surprised at the fiery ordeal that has come on you to test you, as though something strange were happening to you."   1 Peter 1:6-7 (Paraphrased) – Gold perishes, but a refined faith brings praise, glory, and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ. Daniel 3 (Referenced) – Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego in the fiery furnace with the fourth man who looked like the Son of God. Numbers 6:24-26 (The Benediction) > "The Lord bless you and keep you; the Lord make his face shine on you and be gracious to you; the Lord turn his face toward you and give you peace."

Psalm 143 — Hope for the Weary Soul Walking Through the Psalms | Dave Jenkins There are seasons in the Christian life when the soul feels weary, discouraged, and overwhelmed. In Psalm 143, David cries out to the Lord for mercy, guidance, and steadfast love in the middle of spiritual exhaustion and suffering. In this episode of Walking Through the Psalms, Dave Jenkins explains how Psalm 143 teaches believers to honestly bring their struggles before God, remember His faithfulness, seek His guidance, and rest in His steadfast love through Christ alone. Listen or Watch Audio: Video: Episode Summary Psalm 143 is the final penitential psalm and gives voice to the weary believer who brings sorrow, fear, weakness, and need honestly before the Lord. David does not hide his weakness from God. Instead, he cries out for mercy, remembers the works of the Lord, asks for guidance, and rests in the steadfast love of God. This psalm reminds Christians that God hears the prayers of weary believers, guides His people by His Word and Spirit, and preserves them by His mercy and faithfulness. Key Scripture Psalm 143 1 Peter 5:7 Galatians 6:1–2 2 Corinthians 5 Episode Highlights Why weary believers should cry out to God for mercy How Psalm 143 speaks to spiritual exhaustion and discouragement The importance of remembering God's faithfulness Why Christians need God's Word, Spirit, guidance, and people How Psalm 143 points us to the righteousness and mercy of Christ Main Points Crying Out for Mercy Before a Holy God — Psalm 143:1–2 When the Soul Feels Overwhelmed — Psalm 143:3–4 Remembering the Faithfulness of God — Psalm 143:5–6 Seeking the Lord's Guidance and Steadfast Love — Psalm 143:7–10 Resting in the Steadfast Love of God — Psalm 143:11–12 Why This Matters Psalm 143 reminds us that bringing weakness before God is not failure. It is faith. The Christian life includes seasons of sorrow, discouragement, and heaviness, but believers are never left without hope. The Lord hears His people, leads them by His Word, and upholds them by His steadfast love. Ultimately, Psalm 143 points us to Christ, the truly righteous One, who bore judgment for sinners and rose again so that His people might receive mercy, forgiveness, guidance, and everlasting hope.

What does the Bible actually say about anxiety… and could one of the simplest things God designed the human body to do help bring peace to your mind and emotions? In this episode, Bryan Cutshall explores the biblical and practical connection between anxiety, the body, and the power of movement. Through Scripture, personal insight, and practical understanding of how the body responds to stress, this teaching reveals why walking can become a powerful tool in overcoming fear, emotional paralysis, and mental exhaustion. Why does the Bible repeatedly connect faith with walking? Could forward motion physically, mentally, and spiritually help break cycles of anxiety and fear? Most people think of anxiety as only a mental struggle, but this teaching explains how anxiety affects the body, soul, and spirit. Bryan Cutshall explores how stress hormones, tension, overthinking, isolation, and emotional exhaustion all work together to create anxiety, while also showing how God designed the body to respond to movement, fresh air, sunlight, and intentional action. This episode examines the biblical meaning behind passages like “walk through the valley of the shadow of death” and “walk by faith, not by sight,” while explaining the physical and emotional benefits of walking. Bryan Cutshall discusses how movement helps regulate breathing, calm the nervous system, release endorphins, reduce stress hormones, and break the mental “freeze cycle” that often keeps people trapped in fear and overthinking. More than a discussion about mental health, this teaching is a reminder that God designed the human body with healing principles built into it and that peace often comes not only through information, but through practice. From walking with God in the cool of the day to learning how motion changes emotion, this episode encourages believers to keep moving forward in faith, trust God through difficult seasons, and discover practical ways to experience greater peace and emotional clarity. 00:00 Introduction: Anxiety Is Becoming an Epidemic 00:38 Anxiety Is More Than a Mental Battle 01:28 Walking Through the Valley of the Shadow of Death 02:15 Why Walking Helps Anxiety 03:00 Burning Off Stress Hormones and Regulating Breathing 03:58 How Walking Calms the Brain 04:39 Why Movement Cleanses the Body 05:37 Breaking the Anxiety “Freeze Cycle” 06:32 How Walking Helps Depression 07:43 Anxiety Affects the Body, Soul, and Spirit 08:56 Why Entertainment Cannot Heal Anxiety 10:00 Motion Changes Your Emotion 10:44 Walking Restores Control and Changes Your Chemistry 11:30 The First Thing God Did With Adam and Eve 12:05 Walking With God in the Cool of the Day 12:40 Peace Comes Through Practice, Not Just Information 13:08 Walk by Faith and Fear No Evil

Psalm 142 — When No One Cares, God Is Your RefugeBy Dave JenkinsWalking Through the Psalms | Servants of Grace PodcastShow SummaryThere are seasons in the Christian life when believers feel unseen, forgotten, and alone. Psalm 142 speaks directly into those moments with honesty, hope, and gospel comfort.In this episode of Walking Through the Psalms, Dave Jenkins walks through Psalm 142 and shows how David cried out to the Lord from a place of isolation and distress. This psalm reminds Christians that even when no one else seems to care, the Lord sees, hears, sustains, and delivers His people.Psalm 142 points us ultimately to Christ, who was abandoned so that His people would never be forsaken.Listen or WatchAudio:Video:Key Scripture“I cry to you, O Lord; I say, ‘You are my refuge, my portion in the land of the living.'”Psalm 142:5Episode HighlightsWhy Psalm 142 speaks so powerfully to loneliness and sufferingHow David teaches us to bring honest prayers before the LordWhy God knows our way when others do not understandHow the Lord is both our refuge and our portionWhy Christians need biblical community and the local churchHow Psalm 142 points us forward to ChristPsalm 142 and the Hope of ChristPsalm 142 reminds us that faith does not deny reality. David does not pretend his pain is small. He cries out to the Lord honestly, confessing that he is overwhelmed, alone, and in need of deliverance.Yet in the middle of that sorrow, David turns to the Lord and confesses, “You are my refuge, my portion in the land of the living.” This is the hope of every Christian. When support disappears and circumstances feel unbearable, the Lord remains faithful.This psalm also points us to Jesus Christ. Christ was betrayed, rejected, abandoned, and crucified in the place of His people. Because He was forsaken for sinners, those who trust in Him will never be abandoned by God.Reflection QuestionsWhere are you tempted to feel unseen or forgotten right now?Are you bringing your burdens honestly before the Lord in prayer?How does Psalm 142:5 comfort you in seasons of loneliness?Who are trusted believers in your local church who can help bear your burdens?How does Christ's finished work give you hope when you feel alone?Call to ActionIf this episode encouraged you, please subscribe to the Servants of Grace Podcast and share it with someone who may be walking through a lonely or difficult season.You can find more from our latest series on Psalms here or at our YouTube.

After 20 years of buying and holding on the Front Range, the numbers finally said it was time to move. That moment of reckoning is exactly what this episode is about — and for anyone rethinking their Denver real estate portfolio strategy in 2026, it’s one of the most honest conversations we’ve had on this show. Adam Haman sat on an underperforming Aurora duplex longer than he should have, watched the ARM reset and the rents slide, and finally made the call. What came next is where it gets interesting. Chris Lopez sits down with Adam Haman, a Denver-based real estate broker at Your Castle Real Estate and longtime Front Range investor. Adam manages his family’s portfolio alongside his brothers and sister, and has built his holdings from a single duplex purchase in his mid-20s to a mix of duplexes, townhomes, and a full 13-building fourplex development in Colorado Springs — all built to rent. This episode is a real-time case study in portfolio rebalancing. Adam recently sold a problem duplex in Aurora after an ARM reset pushed his rate from 4.5% to 6.5% while Aurora rents dropped from roughly $2,200 per side to $1,800 — and staying full got harder. He walks through how he priced it, the lowball offers he received, and why he took a number that was lower than he’d hoped. At the same time, he’s doing a DSCR cash-out refi on a Greeley duplex he loves — locking a 30-year fixed at 6.5% and pulling out roughly $200,000 to redeploy into higher-yield income opportunities. In This Episode: Why an ARM adjustment and softening rents turned a cash-flowing Aurora duplex into a break-even liability How Adam priced, listed, and ultimately sold the property — and what the buyer’s DSCR loan had to do with the final number Where Adam sees buy-side opportunities right now, including Athmar Park and why he’s watching the Burnham Yards development Why he’s making disrespectful offers on investment properties — and how to do it in a way sellers actually respond to The Greeley duplex DSCR refi breakdown: 30-year fixed, $200K out, and why the spread into Dynamo Capital makes sense How a $6,500 earnest money deposit in 2018 eventually led to ownership of an entire Colorado Springs fourplex complex Why Adam is seriously looking at new construction duplexes in Texas — with builder rate buydowns under 4% and projected $600/month cash flow Colorado legislation, rental licenses, and what rising compliance costs mean for small landlords Watch the Youtube Video https://youtu.be/oaC-2wDXNEI Timestamps 00:00 — Welcome & Guest Introduction — Investor, Broker, 20 Years on the Front Range  01:32 — Adam’s Origin Story — Started at 25, Rookie of the Year, Then Sold Zero Homes in 2007  04:42 — Fail Fast Philosophy — Why He Wishes He’d Found Mentors Earlier  07:10 — The Aurora Duplex Problem — ARM Reset from 4.5% to 6.5% Plus Rents Sliding to $1,800  10:09— Walking Through the Sale — Listed at $575K, Final Number Around $539K and Why He Took It  14:10— Buy-Side Opportunities Right Now — Why Disrespectful Offers Are Back on the Table  15:00— Athmar Park Deep Dive — 18% Rent Decline, Burnham Yards, and the Path of Progress Question  16:08 — What Makes a Rental Perform — Lawns, Fenced Yards, and Two-Car Garages as the Formula  22:35 — Rebalancing Away from 100% Real Estate — Why He’s Diversifying Into Dynamo Capital  28:58 — The Greeley Duplex DSCR Refi — $200K at 6.5% Fixed and Why He Kept This One  25:17— Considering Texas — New Construction Duplexes at a 4% Rate Buydown Near San Antonio and Dallas  28:58 — The Greeley Duplex DSCR Refi — $200K at 6.5% Fixed and Why He Kept This One  36:47— Colorado Springs Fourplex Development — How $6,500 in Earnest Money Led to 13 Buildings  41:54— Colorado Legislation and Small Landlords — Rising Compliance Costs and What’s Changed  Links in Podcast Adam Haman — Your Castle Real Estate

Psalm 138 Explained: Praising God in Every Season of Life By Dave Jenkins Psalm 138 shows us what faith looks like after it has been tested. After the sorrow and exile of Psalm 137, this psalm lifts our eyes to the steadfast love, faithfulness, and purposes of God. David praises the Lord with his whole heart not because life is easier, but because God is still faithful. In this episode of Walking Through the Psalms, we see that bold praise flows from confidence in God's character, not comfort in our circumstances. This psalm reminds us that God hears His people, strengthens them in trouble, preserves them in the midst of conflict, and fulfills His purpose for their lives. Listen or Watch the Episode Audio: Video: What Does Psalm 138 Teach About Praising God in Every Season? Psalm 138 teaches that all praise flows from confidence in God's character, not comfort in our circumstances. David begins with wholehearted thanksgiving, praising the Lord publicly in a world filled with false worship. He anchors his praise in God's steadfast love, faithfulness, and Word. This psalm moves from personal praise to global vision. Worship is not meant to stay private. It declares the glory of God to the world. Even in the midst of trouble, David declares that the Lord preserves his life and stretches out His hand against his enemies. The psalm concludes with a strong statement of confidence: the Lord will fulfill His purpose for His people. This is not self-confidence, but God-centered confidence rooted in His enduring love. Key Takeaways from Psalm 138 Praise is rooted in God's character, not our circumstances Worship is both personal and a witness to the world God is present and active in the midst of trouble The Lord will fulfill His purpose for His people Confidence in God produces bold, enduring praise How Psalm 138 Points to Christ Psalm 138 ultimately points us to Jesus Christ. Jesus perfectly trusted the Father, walked in the midst of trouble, and fulfilled God's redemptive purposes through His life, death, and resurrection. Because of Christ, believers can rest in the confidence that God is at work and will complete what He has begun. Final Encouragement Dear Christian, Psalm 138 reminds us that faith does not end in sorrow. It grows through it. The same God you trust in hardship is the same God you can praise with confidence today. Lift your voice not because life is easy, but because God is faithful. He is present. He is at work. And He will fulfill His purpose. Subscribe and Follow If this episode encouraged you, consider subscribing to Servants of Grace wherever you listen to podcasts.

Psalm 137: Trusting God in Suffering and Exile Series: Walking Through the Psalms Host: Dave Jenkins Date: April 3, 2026 Show Summary Psalm 137 is one of the most emotionally weighty passages in Scripture. It brings us into the grief of exile, the pain of loss, and the struggle of trusting God when life feels overwhelming. In this episode of Walking Through the Psalms, Dave Jenkins explains how Psalm 137 teaches believers to respond to suffering, injustice, and sorrow while still holding fast to the covenant faithfulness of God. This psalm reminds us that faith and sorrow can coexist. Even when worship feels difficult and God feels distant, the Lord has not changed. Believers are called to remember God's promises, bring their pain honestly before Him, and trust His perfect justice rather than taking vengeance into their own hands. This episode also carefully addresses the difficult ending of Psalm 137, showing that these verses are not a call for personal revenge but a cry for divine justice. Ultimately, Psalm 137 points us forward to Jesus Christ, who entered into our suffering, endured rejection and injustice, and secured redemption through His death and resurrection. What does Psalm 137 teach? Psalm 137 teaches that believers can trust God in suffering and exile by remembering His promises, bringing their pain honestly to Him, and resting in His justice and faithfulness.

Summary In this episode, Andy talks with Amy Leneker, leadership coach, joy strategist, and author of Cheers to Monday. Amy's journey began with a burnout so severe that her doctor put her on medical leave. It took 10 words on a medical form to change everything: "What are your hobbies? What do you do for fun?" She couldn't answer it. That moment sent her on a mission to help leaders recognize stress earlier and respond to it far more intentionally. In this conversation, Amy shares the stress stories many leaders carry without ever questioning them, and why those stories get quietly rewarded in so many organizations. You'll hear how the body whispers warnings long before burnout hits, why most common stress-relief advice actually makes things worse, and how Amy's three-step Un-Stressing Method gives leaders a clear, practical framework to move forward. She also shares a powerful real-world example of a team carrying 73 stressors that simply didn't need to be there—and what happened when they finally saw that. If you're looking for a practical, empowering guide to break the cycle of stress and overwhelm in leadership, this episode is for you! Sound Bites "The story that I inherited, either intentionally or unintentionally, was you just work hard because that's the only choice you have." "I think one of the biggest mistakes that I made was not recognizing how much choice I had." "I couldn't remember the last time that I had real fun." "Those unhealthy stress stories are rewarded." "The majority of ways that we try to manage stress at work actually increase our stress." "When I ignored the whispers, it got to the point where ignoring it was no longer an option.... If you ignore them long enough, then the body's going to scream." "Talking about stress is stressful, but we've got to be able to see it if we're going to be able to do anything about it." "Unclear expectations are resentments waiting to happen." "People pleasing—it's not a healthy dynamic. It's not something that serves you or the people around you." "Stress is contagious. There is no question about it." "Yes, stress is wildly contagious, but so is joy."

His Steadfast Love Endures Forever: Psalm 136 and the Covenant Love of God Series: Walking Through the PsalmsPodcast: Servants of Grace PodcastHost: Dave Jenkins Show Summary In this episode of Walking Through the Psalms on the Servants of Grace Podcast, Dave Jenkins teaches through Psalm 136 and explains how this psalm leads God's people to remember His mighty works through the repeated refrain, “for his steadfast love endures forever.” From creation to redemption to providence and present care, Psalm 136 shows that every work of God reveals His faithful covenant love. This psalm was likely used in corporate worship, with a leader declaring the mighty acts of God and the congregation responding together with the same refrain. As a result, Psalm 136 does not merely recount history. It teaches believers how to interpret all of life through the lens of God's steadfast love. The God who created the heavens and the earth, delivered Israel from Egypt, led His people through the wilderness, and remembered them in their low estate is the same God who remembers His people today. In this episode, Dave also shows how Psalm 136 pairs with Psalm 135 and ultimately points forward to the greatest display of God's covenant love in Jesus Christ. Because of Christ, believers can say with even greater confidence: His steadfast love endures forever.

In this timely interview, Emilio Ortiz sits down with spiritual teacher and consciousness guide Kerry K to explore the deeper meaning behind the massive energetic and planetary changes humanity is currently experiencing. Together they unpack the growing discussion around Earth's shifting magnetic field, the idea of a potential pole shift, and what these changes might symbolize for the evolution of human consciousness. Kerry K shares her perspective on how humanity is moving through a profound transformation — one that requires greater personal sovereignty, emotional maturity, and the ability to navigate uncertainty while remaining connected to love, truth, and inner power.Throughout the episode, Emilio and Kerry explore themes such as the global awakening, the collapse of old systems, spiritual responsibility, and the role each individual plays in shaping the future of Earth. They discuss how energetic shifts on the planet may mirror the internal transformation taking place within humanity, including the awakening of higher awareness, the reopening of our energetic “stargates,” and the emergence of a more conscious civilization.

In this episode, Dave Jenkins explains how Psalm 134 calls believers to continual, reverent praise—both in public gatherings and in the unseen hours of life—because the covenant God who made heaven and earth blesses His people through Christ our great High Priest. Audio Player Video Player Episode Notes The setting: Psalm 134 is the final Song of Ascents (Psalms 120–134), concluding the pilgrimage in praise. The exchange: Worshipers call God's servants to bless the Lord (vv. 1–2); the priestly blessing answers (v. 3). The emphasis: Worship is continual, reverent, corporate, and grounded in covenant grace. The fulfillment: In Christ, our praise is received and the blessing of God rests on His people (Heb. 7:25). Key Scriptures Psalm 134 Psalm 133:3 Romans 1:25 Ecclesiastes 3:11 Hebrews 7:25 1 Peter 2:9 Takeaways & Reflection Questions Is your worship limited to public moments, or does it continue in the unseen hours? Do you approach worship casually or consciously—before the holy presence of God? Where have you compartmentalized your life instead of living before the Lord in every sphere? How does Christ's ongoing priestly intercession encourage you to worship in every season?
