The Consummation of Praise Ryan Griffith Download I don't know about you, but I have always struggled with poetry. And by struggle I mean that I haven't particularly liked it. Most of the stuff I was introduced to in high school was the open-verse kind – no meter, no rhyme scheme. I'm sure if I was smarter or worked on it longer, I might find Whitman or Dickenson or Hughes illuminating. Perhaps I'm too simple, but for my lights good poetry is not mainly a puzzle to unlock. Let's try a relevant example for our sesquicentennial year. Maybe you know it.Listen my children, and you shall hear, of the midnight ride of Paul Revere. On the eighteenth of April in seventy-five hardly a man is now alive who remembers that famous day and year.Poetry is designed to be memorable and meaningful and to produce a certain kind of response.I love the ending:And so through the night went his cry of alarmTo every Middlesex village and farm,—A cry of defiance, and not of fear,A voice in the darkness, a knock at the door,And a word that shall echo forevermore!For, borne on the night-wind of the Past,Through all our history, to the last,In the hour of darkness and peril and need,The people will waken and listen to hearThe hurrying hoof-beats of that steed,And the midnight message of Paul Revere.In April of 1860, Longfellow wrote Paul Revere's Ride as our nation stood on the precipice of Civil War. He wanted to remind a very divided country of an important story of courage and sacrifice from America's founding generation. And he longed to impact their affections — encouraging fellow abolitionists to take heart and to act with urgency and end the injustice of chattel slavery. That's what great poetry does: it captures a narrative in a memorable way — a way that communicates truth beautifully and awakens the reader's affections and actions. This is how Psalm 104 works. It is different than Psalm 8 (“you have set your glory above the heavens”) or Psalm 19 (“the heavens declare the glory of God and the sky above proclaims his handiwork), because not only is Psalm 104 a poem with vivid, worship-evoking imagery, it is a poetic retelling of an important story: Genesis 1-3. It's literally a song—the Psalmist's cover of Moses's narrative account. And like Paul Revere's Ride, the retelling of God's work in Creation (vv2-30) communicates truth beautifully and awakens our affections and actions. It calls us (v1) to bless the Lord and (v31-35) fuels the consummation of that praise. Let's take this poem in those three steps. The call to praise (v1)The cause for praise (vv2-30)The consummation of praise (vv31-35)1. The Call to PraiseWhile the Hebrew text doesn't ascribe this Psalm to David, both the Greek translation of the Old Testament and the Dead Sea scrolls label this a Davidic Psalm. Especially because the Psalmist begins, as David did in 103, by calling on his soul: “Bless the Lord, O my soul.”David is telling himself, “slow down, shut off the music, put away the phone, and look – I mean really look.” This isn't just a looking with the eyes. As we heard, vv2-30 are full of vivid imagery – things that David certainly would have seen: lightning, storm clouds, the sea, the mountains; streams, birds, donkeys, and so on. But David is doing more than observing – he is lovingly turning over in his mind what he sees; pondering it; examining it in light of the story of creation. In verse 34 David calls this way of looking “meditation.”Verse 34, May my meditation be pleasing to him, for I rejoice in the Lord.We'll come back to this, but for the moment notice that the call to bless the Lord is grounded not only in what David sees but in who he sees by it. His meditation on God's work in Genesis 1-3 produces a delight that bubbles up at the beginning, in the middle, and at the end of the Psalm. 2. The CauseLet's turn to examine the cause for this delight. David goes back to Genesis 1 and 2 to give six reasons creation is a cause for blessing the Lord.Reason #1: God is great in the heavens (1b-4).Look at verses 1-4. Can you hear Genesis 1? In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. The earth was formless and void and darkness was over the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God of was hovering over the waters. And God said “let there be light.” And there was light (Gen 1.1-3).And so David proclaims, God is clothed with splendor and majesty, robed in light. He hangs the stars and the planets. He establishes the atmosphere. He stores up the rain and builds his throne above the earth. He is swift and mighty as the wind and he bridles the great thunderclouds. The greatest forces of the universe are under his sovereign control: “he lays, he makes, he rides.” Reason #1 for praise, God is great in the heavens.But not only is God great in the heavens, he is also…Reason #2 supreme over the earth (5-9).Look at vv. 5-9 while I read Genesis 1. Can you hear the creation account? And God said, “Let the waters under the heavens be gathered together into one place, and let the dry land appear.” And it was so. God called the dry land Earth, and the waters that were gathered together he called Seas. And God saw that it was good.We tend to call the world around us “nature” as though it is self-existing. But David attributes supremacy over the planet to God alone. It is a supernatural creation. You covered the earth with the waters. You spoke and they fled. The mountains and valleys took the places you assigned. You drew a line for the waters and said: “they shall not pass.” Reason #2, God is supreme over the earth.God is also…Reason #3, the giver of life-sustaining waters (10-18).Here David's song does variation on a theme. In an arid land like Israel, water was scarce. But God took care of that. You make the water appear out of nowhere. Springs to sustain your birds and animals. Even the mountaintops you provide for – bringing rain to water them. You cause the grass to grow. You made good plants for man to cultivate – grain for bread, grapes for wine. You provide for the animals and you gladden the heart of man. Just as Genesis 2 says, God is the giver of life-sustaining waters.Reason #4 God is maker of time (19-23).“Night and day,” David says, “they were your idea” On the fourth day, you made the sun and the moon to govern them. You even appointed that the beasts stalk their prey (which you provide) at night so that man can labor by day. What didn't you think of? You are the maker of time.David can't even get through his meditation on creation without erupting into praise. Look at verse 24:“O Lord, how manifold are your works! In wisdom have you made them all; the earth is full of your creatures.”The poet Gerard Manly Hopkins wrote, “the world is charged with the grandeur of God. It will flame out like shining from shook foil.” Everywhere David looks, he sees God's beauty and excellence. It is as though he is saying, “Look at that! Isn't he amazing? Look at that! Isn't he majestic? Look at that! Isn't he wise! So David like a good songwriter, even puts in verse 24 as a bridge — pointing back at God's works in vv1-23 and pointing forward to God's creatures in vv25-30!Because…Reason #5 God is maker of the sea and its creatures (25-26).Even the Leviathan, which makes Job shiver in his boots, you made on Day Five so it could play in the sea. Since the waters are under your sovereign control, what once was a barrier is now a route for travel and trade. Isn't he something? God is the maker of the sea and its creatures.The whole account crescendos in the final reason David gives…Reason #6, God is creator and sustainer of all creatures (27-30).All these — the beasts and the birds, the plants and the trees, the whales and the wombat — they all look to you. You, God, are at the center of it all. When you give, when you open, when you hide, when you take away…all creation waits on you. You care for them. None escape your notice. Because you are the creator and sustainer of all things.So, David with Genesis in mind and the Spirit's poetic inspiration gives us six reasons creation should cause us to bless the Lord. God is great in the heavens, he is supreme over the earth, he is the giver of life-sustaining waters, he made and governs time, he oversees the oceans and its amazing creatures, and he is the creator and sustainer of all things. Creation displays his handiwork. All of it testifies to his power and divine nature. If we have eyes to see it, every blade of grass, every multi-colored sunset, every microscopic organism, every mighty beast, every mathematical equation shouts the glory of God. We inhabit a world “set on fire with praise.”No wonder David begins in v 1 by exclaiming: O YHWH, my God you are very great! In fact, the Hebrew might be better rendered – “you have become magnificent. You have clothed yourself with splendor and majesty.” Your works redound to your glory! Everything in the created order is a mirror reflecting back to God the wisdom and beauty and goodness that he is, himself. Lord, give us the eyes to see!So we've seen the call to praise (v1), David's six-fold cause for praise (vv1-30); now, thirdly, (vv31-35) the consummation of praise.3. The Consummation of Praise (31-35)All that David has considered now fuels his final refrain in verses 31-35:“May the glory of the Lord endure forever; may the Lord rejoice in his works, who looks on the earth and it trembles, who touches the mountains and they smoke!” (vv31-32)Notice two striking things about this verse. First, it is a plea. “May the glory of the Lord endure forever. May the Lord rejoice in his works.” David feels God's greatness so deeply that his prayers line up with God's design. “Yes, God. You are glorious, and so may your glory be seen! May your people delight in you and all that you are.”But notice that second prayer in verse 31. “May the Lord rejoice in his works.” Not “May your people, rejoice in your works,” but “may the Lord rejoice.” God delights in his works. We know this, because that's God's refrain in Genesis: “And God saw that it was good.” The earth and seas. Good! The plants and the trees. Good! The moon, sun, and stars. Good! The creepy crawlies and the fish and the birds and the sea creatures and the great beasts and the livestock. Yes, Good! Man and woman, in my own image. Very good! God rejoices in his work because it reflects him. It shows off his manifold excellencies. All of creation simultaneously every moment of every day since God spoke the universe into existence declares what is true — that God is the most admirable, beautiful, wise, good, generous, glorious being in the universe. And we were created to share in his joy.This God-centeredness of God might throw us off balance. Is it off-putting that God, through David in Psalm 104, commands his own praise? C.S. Lewis at first thought that it seemed no different than a vain woman craving compliments. But listen to what he concluded: “…the most obvious fact about praise – whether of God or anything – [had] strangely escaped me. I thought of it in terms of compliment, approval, or the giving of honor. I had never noticed that all enjoyment spontaneously overflows into praise…The world rings with praise – lovers praising their mistresses, readers their favorite poet, walkers praising the countryside, players praising their favorite game – praise of weather, wines, dishes, actors [and so on]….I had not noticed…that just as men spontaneously praise whatever they value, so they spontaneously urge us to join them in praising it: ‘isn't she lovely? Wasn't it glorious? Don't you think that magnificent?' The Psalmists in telling everyone to praise God are doing what all men do when they speak of what they care about. My whole more general difficulty about the praise of God depended on my absurdly denying to us as regards the supremely valuable what we delight to do – what indeed we can't help doing – about everything else we value.”David praises what is supremely valuable. He does what we are made and delight to do. He rejoices in God being God. And sings about it!“I will sing to the Lord as long as I live; I will sing praise to my God while I have being. May my meditation be pleasing to him, for I rejoice in the Lord.” (vv33-34) But the singing must not stop with him. Look how he ends his song. “Bless the Lord O my soul. Praise the Lord!” (35b)David moves beyond calling his soul to bless the Lord to summoning all people to do the same. “Praise the Lord” is the first use of “hallelujah” in the Psalter. It is a you-plural not a you-singular. Northern English speakers don't have a category for this, but my eastern Kentucky relatives would say it right, “Praise the Lord, y'all. All y'all.” And that's because, as Lewis continues, calling others to praise God “doesn't merely express the enjoyment, it is its appointed consummation” — it brings praise to its fullest completion. David's joy is made complete by calling us to praise the Lord by us joining in that praise. That is what this Psalm is for. Like Longfellow's Paul Revere's Ride, Psalm 104 captures an important story in a memorable way. It reminds us of something that really matters. But ultimately, it does something to us.Don Paterson says that when a poet writes a poem he's creating a little machine that when operated by a reader, recreates in them the experience the poem is trying to preserve. When we operate Psalm 104, it evokes our joy in God. It summons us to express that joy in praise and blessing. And it calls us to consummate that joy by sharing it with others. But neither David nor us can know this joy without addressing the most serious problem.Let sinners be consumed from the earth and let the wicked be no more! (v 35a)At first, I found this an odd thing for David to say in his great crescendo of praise. But he is reminding us that Genesis 3 comes after Genesis 1 and 2. Human beings were made to receive creation as a gift and enjoy and rejoice in what it tells us about the one for whom we were made. But we turned the gold into idols halfway to Canaan. We worship created things rather than the Creator. While creation shouts that we were made for joy in God, so often we say “that's nice” and go back to scrolling on our devices. David longs for a day when this outrage will finally be addressed. That sin that he sees traces of in verse 29. Paul tells us that even creation has been subjected to futility because of our rebellion. Things are not the way that they should be. The Lord's SupperAnd that is what brings us to the table. Because in the fullness of time, God himself came to address that rebellion. He entered into his own creation to free us from enslavement to inferior joys. To save us from the penalty our idolatry justly deserves. In mercy and kindness, to restore to us the fullness of his joy; His life for ours; our sin for his righteousness that we might be to praise of his glory. That is what we celebrate here. Maybe in this moment you can't bless the Lord because you haven't given up your idols; you haven't put all your hope in Jesus for the forgiveness of sin. Friend there is no better time than now. Jesus says to you, I am the bread of life, whoever comes to me shall not hunger and whoever believes in me shall never thirst (Jn 6.35). Go to him.

Eunice Whitman and her boyfriend, Justine Paul, argued on a busy foot path crisscrossing the tundra in Bethel, Alaska. A few hours later, four teenagers stumbled upon Eunice's naked body stretched out on the ground. Someone had stabbed her multiple times and slashed her throat. Then, they'd folded her clothes and left them a short distance from her body. The police quickly arrested Justine Paul for Eunice's murder. When they found a backpack full of bloody clothes in his home, and footprints in the mud near Eunice's body resembling the tread on Paul's shoes, the prosecutors raced the case to the grand jury, which indicted Paul on first-degree murder.  Unfortunately, this was the only time anything was ever done quickly in this case. When the blood test results from Paul's stained clothes came back from the lab, they surprised the police and the prosecution, but the state refused to drop charges, and Paul languished in jail for seven years waiting for his case to go to trial. ______________ Now Available!

“No sink or nothing, right? You're just gonna go free ball it…”   1989 was the very first year EVER that The Recording Academy recognized hard rock and metal music with the “Grammy Award for Best Hard Rock/Metal Performance Vocal or Instrumental”. And other than the completely insulting “slap in the face” by The Recording Academy to Metallica (think Will Smith & Chris Rock, but even more childish, petty, and completely unnecessary), there were no other Big Four albums or happenings in 1989.   (SIDEBAR: Y'know, maybe it's just speculation, conspiracy theory, or just good old-fashioned karma in action, but the way Metallica “lost” that Grammy, it's like they were literally “deleted from the mix” of nominees, so to speak. Not unlike a certain bass player from a certain mix on a certain album. Moving on…)   “Just gonna raw dog it…”   As we are all aware, metal (especially thrash) is far more than just The Big Four, and 1989 was actually quite an excellent year for metal. As thrash was nearing the zenith of its popularity, Wrathchild America's debut album, Climbin' The Walls, hit the record store shelves, Exodus, Testament, and Sepultura each released legendary 3rd albums, and Nuclear Assault released the first, the best, and arguably one of the most revolutionary lyric videos in the history of music for Critical Mass, featuring a one-eyed smiley face saying, “Follow me!” and a “Required Nasty Bit”, courtesy of Jessica Hahn.   “What is YOUR favorite album of 1989?”   Prepare yourself for a bit of obscure Metal Nerdery 1989-centric trivia, embrace what it means to receive your “first JOB”, and find out what you should definitely NOT do in your landlord's pool when you JOIN US as we fire up the time machine and go check out THE CLASS OF 1989.

From Marian Anderson's 1939 concert at the Lincoln Memorial to Marvin Gaye singing the National Anthem at the NBA Finals, the theme of patriotism can be heard throughout African American music. Benjamin Ross offers selections from this rich musical heritage. Also: Ann Petry's The Street, published in 1946, was the first million-selling novel by an African American author. Keith Clark says Petry deserves to be in the pantheon of other great American writers like James Baldwin or Toni Morrison. Later in the show: Poet Walt Whitman in 1862 went searching for his brother George, who had been wounded in a Civil War battle. Mara Scanlon and Brady Earnhart say Whitman was so moved by the carnage he found that he worked as a nurse for the rest of the war. Also: While Edgar Allan Poe is the master of the macabre, Jerome McGann says Poe was more charming and humorous than his famous dark fiction suggests.

Welcome to New England Legends From the Vault – FtV Episode 175 –  Jeff Belanger and Ray Auger spend Thanksgiving in a Whitman, Massachusetts, parking lot located between a fast food restaurant and a chain drug store in search of the sacred birthplace of the one of America's most beloved holiday baked goods: the Toll House Chocolate Chip cookie. In 1938, Ruth Wakefield's kitchen concoction turned from a happy accident into a nation-wide phenomenon. We'll find out how!

In “The 250th Episode” | Episode 244 of The Black Lincoln Collective Comedy Podcast, the crew celebrates the week of America's 250th birthday by proudly naming their 244th episode “The 250th Episode,” because math has never been part of the brand promise. The show opens with the usual BLC ceremony: a little confusion, some Johnny Carson nostalgia, Allan being introduced from a legally safe distance, and an attempted national anthem moment that gets shut down almost immediately. Parker explains that this episode is tied to America's big 250th anniversary, or season, or whatever it is when a country has been running too long and still somehow has not been canceled. To honor the occasion, Fred brings what he calls “250 four facts” about things that happened on July 4th. The facts begin with the obvious one — America declaring independence in 1776 — before moving into the Erie Canal beginning construction in 1817. Fred explains the canal with just enough confidence to sound educational and just enough uncertainty to remind everyone this is not PBS. Next up is Walt Whitman publishing Leaves of Grass in 1855, which leads the crew into a confused discussion about whether Walt Whitman was connected to chocolate samplers, poetry, or possibly national boredom. Fred even reads part of a Whitman poem, and Allan reacts like a man watching a hostage situation unfold in verse. The historical tour continues with Shaka Zulu, the British, the Battle of Ulundi, and a few deeply American misunderstandings about non-American history. Then Fred covers the first Trans-Pacific telegraph cable, which somehow becomes a Teddy Roosevelt joke almost immediately. To round things out, Fred adds NASA's Pathfinder Rover landing on Mars on July 4, 1997, while Parker remembers getting “fat white guy wasted,” which feels historically important in its own way. Then the episode reaches peak patriotism when Abraham Lincoln himself appears to deliver a BLC-style Gettysburg Address about podcasts, farts, freedom, and stinky bananas. It is emotional, ridiculous, and exactly the kind of presidential moment this country deserves. #blcpodcast #podcastingforthepeople #funny #podcast #greenvillesc #scpodcast #yeahthatgreenville Listen at: https://americasfavoritepodcast.com Follow us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/blcpodcast/ Check us out on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/blcpodcast/ Buy Fred and Allan Beer: https://www.patreon.com/blcworld

Christian sex educator Mary Whitman Ortiz joins Misty to talk about shame, God's design for intimacy, and the freedom waiting on the other side. There are conversations the church has been slow to have — and sexual intimacy is one of them.   In this episode, I sit down with Mary Whitman Ortiz, a Christian sex educator and certified relationship coach, to talk about what God actually intended when he designed intimacy between husband and wife. This is a conversation about shame, freedom, and what it looks like to come alive in places that have been quiet for a long time. Mary shares her own story — a 26-year marriage that ended in divorce, the discovery of pornography's long shadow, and the slow, intentional journey back to wholeness. She walks through what emotional safety in marriage really means, why women need to give their “mental yes” long before 10:30 at night, and how studying the original (God's design) is always more powerful than focusing on the counterfeit. Whether you grew up in purity culture, have never had a safe conversation about this, or just sense there is more joy available in your marriage than you've been living in — this episode was made for you. Mary's freedom is contagious. And it is absolutely possible.

È dunque lecito far del bene in giorno di sabato». 13 Allora disse a quell'uomo: «Stendi la mano». Ed egli la stese, e la mano ritornò sana come l'altra.

I tuoi discepoli fanno quello che non è lecito fare di sabato». 3 Ma egli rispose loro: «Non avete letto quello che fece Davide, quando ebbe fame, egli insieme a coloro che erano con lui? 4 Come egli entrò nella casa di Dio e come mangiarono i pani di presentazione che non era lecito mangiare né a lui né a quelli che erano con lui, ma solamente ai sacerdoti? 5 O non avete letto nella legge che di sabato i sacerdoti nel tempio violano il sabato e non ne sono colpevoli? 6 Ora io vi dico che c'è qui qualcosa di più grande del tempio. 7 Se sapeste che cosa significa: "Voglio misericordia e non sacrificio", non avreste condannato gli innocenti; 8 perché il Figlio dell'uomo è signore del sabato».

A sermon preached by Rev. Jonathan Brown with Foundry UMC, April 26, 2026. If there is one truth I want us to carry today, it is this: God's presence in suffering is our courage, but it is never an excuse to accept suffering as normal. That is the tension these texts hold. Psalm 23 gives us one of the most beloved images in all of scripture: the Lord as shepherd. First Peter gives us Christ as the shepherd and guardian of our souls. Both texts offer comfort. Both texts speak to people who know pain. But neither text tells us to make peace with injustice. Neither text tells us to baptize suffering. Instead, these texts tell the truth. There are green pastures and still waters and restoration, yes. But there are also dark valleys, enemies, unjust suffering, and wounds. And in the middle of that truth, scripture makes a defiant claim: we are not alone. Psalm 23 is so familiar that we can miss how honest it really is. “The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want” can sound soft in our ears, but this is not a psalm written from a safe and easy life. It is the prayer of someone who knows danger, fear, and threat. It is the testimony of someone who knows what it means to walk through what the NRSV calls the darkest valley. And that matters, because Psalm 23 is not beautiful because it denies suffering. It is beautiful because it refuses to let suffering speak the final word. “Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I fear no evil; for you are with me.” And it is worth pausing to say a brief word about the psalm itself. The superscription says, “A Psalm of David,” and for generations that has connected the psalm to David the shepherd-king. But most modern scholars are cautious about treating that as proof that David personally wrote it. Like many psalms, Psalm 23 is difficult to date with precision. It does not give us firm historical markers. So it is often understood as part of Israel's worship tradition, preserved and prayed over time, shaped by a people who had learned to trust God through danger, worship, memory, and hope. That deepens the psalm for me. It means these words endured not because they belonged only to one famous person, but because generations of God's people found them true. Notice what the psalm does not say. It does not say, “I will never enter the valley.” It does not say, “If my faith is strong enough, I can avoid the valley.” It does not say, “The valley is secretly good.” It says, even there, even in the darkness, even in the fear, even in the threat: you are with me. That is the center of it. The courage of the psalm is not that life is easy. The courage of the psalm is not that the valley disappears. The courage of the psalm is the presence of God in the valley. That distinction matters, because Christians have not always handled suffering well. Too often, people have taken texts about endurance and presence and turned them into permission slips for oppression. Too often, religion has told people to quietly bear what should have been confronted. Too often, the suffering have been told to be patient while the powerful remain comfortable. Too often, faith has been used not to heal wounds but to explain them away. But Psalm 23 does not glorify the valley. It does not bless the darkness. It does not say that enemies are acceptable because God can still set a table. It says that God remains God even there, and that the Shepherd does not abandon the flock even there. And that shepherd image matters more than we sometimes realize. A shepherd is not just a sweet religious metaphor. A shepherd protects. A shepherd guides. A shepherd goes looking. A shepherd defends the vulnerable. A shepherd takes responsibility for lives that can be easily harmed. That is why the psalm says, “Your rod and your staff, they comfort me.” Those are not decorative objects. The rod is for protection. The staff is for guidance and rescue. So the comfort here is not vague spirituality. The comfort is active care. The comfort is the nearness of a God who is not detached from danger and not indifferent to fear. Then the psalm says something almost startling: “You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies.” Not after the enemies are gone. Not once the danger has passed. Not once everything is tidy and resolved. In the presence of my enemies. In other words, God does not wait for perfect conditions to sustain life. God nourishes in hostile places. God restores in wounded places. God anoints in threatened places. But let us be clear: that is not the same thing as saying hostile conditions are acceptable. God's presence in suffering is not God's approval of suffering. And that is where First Peter needs careful handling. “If, being aware of God, you endure pain while suffering unjustly…” Those words have too often been used badly. They have been used to tell people to remain in abuse, to stay silent under domination, to take the hit and call it holiness. But that is not good news, and that is not what this text should mean for the church. First Peter is speaking to vulnerable communities under pressure. It is trying to encourage people already suffering because the world is not arranged according to the justice of God. It is not praising the injustice. It is not calling suffering good. It is speaking to wounded people about how not to lose their souls in a wounded world. And then it points to Jesus: “When he was abused, he did not return abuse; when he suffered, he did not threaten; but he entrusted himself to the one who judges justly.” That is not weakness. That is not surrender to evil. It is Jesus refusing to become what the world is. He refuses to let violence dictate the shape of his spirit. He refuses to answer domination with domination. But hear this clearly: the suffering of Jesus is not God saying suffering is good. The cross is not heaven's endorsement of violence. The cross reveals what human sin does when confronted with divine love. And the resurrection is God's refusal to let that violence be final. So when First Peter says Christ suffered for you, leaving you an example, it does not mean Christians should seek pain. It does not mean people should stay in dangerous situations for the sake of appearing faithful. It means that when righteousness is costly, Christ has already gone ahead of us. It means that when suffering comes, we do not meet it alone. It means the Shepherd knows the valley from the inside. That is where these two readings reach toward one another in a powerful way. Psalm 23 says, “The Lord is my shepherd.” First Peter says we have now returned “to the shepherd and guardian of your souls.” The Shepherd of Psalm 23 is not far away. The Shepherd of Psalm 23 is not abstract. In the light of Christ, the Shepherd has scars. The Shepherd has known abuse. The Shepherd has known grief. The Shepherd has known the machinery of injustice. So when we say God is with us in suffering, we do not mean that in some thin, sentimental way. We mean that in Jesus Christ, God has entered the full reality of human pain. God knows what it is to be wounded. God knows what it is to be abandoned. God knows what it is to be crushed by the powers of this world. God knows. So yes, there is courage here. Real courage. Because some people in this room know what it is to walk through the valley. Some are carrying grief. Some are carrying fear. Some are exhausted. Some are dealing with illness. Some are trying to keep going under burdens no one else can quite see. Some are watching the pain of the world pile up and wondering how much more human hearts are supposed to bear. And the good news is not that none of it is real. The good news is that none of it is faced alone. But now let me say the other half of what must be said. God's presence in suffering must never be turned into permission to tolerate suffering. It must never become an excuse for passivity. It must never become a way of spiritualizing injustice. It must never become a reason to tell the suffering to stay quiet. There is a scene in Ted Lasso where Ted Lasso, the coach of AFC Richmond, is being underestimated during a game of darts. He recalls a line he says he once saw painted on a wall while driving his son to school: “Be curious, not judgmental.” In the scene he attributes the line to Walt Whitman. Whether or not Whitman actually said it, the point lands. Ted realizes that the people who dismissed him never asked real questions. They assumed they already knew who he was, and so they judged him instead of trying to understand him. The church has too often done the same thing with suffering. We have judged where we should have listened. We have explained pain where we should have shown up. We have sometimes treated suffering like a spiritual test instead of a human crisis. But the Shepherd of Psalm 23 does not stand at a distance judging the sheep in the valley. The Shepherd enters the valley. Because if God is with the suffering, then suffering should matter to us. Human suffering anywhere should trouble the conscience of the church. Poverty should trouble us. War should trouble us. Racism should trouble us. Displacement should trouble us. Abuse should trouble us. Systems that crush people while blessing the already secure should trouble us. The church cannot say, “Well, God is with them,” as a substitute for justice. Yes, God is with them. And that is exactly why suffering can never be treated as normal, holy, or acceptable. And when Psalm 23 says, “I shall not want,” that is not a promise of luxury. It is trust that the Shepherd will sustain. Trust that what is necessary for life with God will not be withheld. Trust that the valley does not cancel the care of God. And when First Peter says, “By his wounds you have been healed,” that is not cheap denial either. It does not mean every hurt is instantly repaired. It means that Christ's love breaks open the power of sin and violence. It means there is healing deeper than domination. It means restoration is possible even in a world that knows how to harm. So what do we do with all of this? We take courage, and we tell the truth. We take courage because we are not alone, because the Shepherd is in the valley, because Christ is not a distant savior offering advice from safety, because goodness and mercy are still moving even when the road is hard. And we tell the truth that suffering is real, that injustice is real, and that pain should never be romanticized. It is never God's plan for people to suffer. It is God's will that people be comforted and protected in suffering. That is what the Shepherd does. The Shepherd leads, guards, restores, and stays near. So let me leave you here. If you are in the valley, hear this: the Shepherd is with you now. If you are wounded, hear this: Christ knows woundedness from the inside. If you are weary, hear this: goodness and mercy are still on the move. And if these texts teach us anything about the Richmond way in the valley, it may be this: be curious, not judgmental. Be curious enough to listen to pain instead of explaining it away. Curious enough to see suffering instead of spiritualizing it. Curious enough to trust that it is never God's plan for people to suffer, but always God's will to meet people with comfort, protection, and mercy in the midst of it. Because the Shepherd does not abandon the valley. The Shepherd enters it, stays with us there, and leads us toward life. Amen.

Today we think of land as the paradigmatic example of property, while in the past, the paradigmatic example was often a slave. In this seminal work, James Q. Whitman asserts that there is no natural form of ownership. Whitman dives deep into the long Western history of this transformation in the legal imagination – the transformation from the ownership of humans and other living creatures to the ownership of land. This change extended over many centuries, coming to fruition only on the threshold of the modern era. It brought with it profound changes, not only in the way we understand ownership but also in the way we understand the state. Its most dramatic consequence arrived in the nineteenth century, with the final disappearance of the lawful private ownership of humans, which had been taken for granted for thousands of years. James Q. Whitman is the Ford Foundation Professor of Comparative and Foreign Law at Yale Law School. He earned his B.A. and J.D. from Yale University and Law School and also holds an M.A. in European History from Columbia University and a Ph.D. in Intellectual History from the University of Chicago.

It brought with it profound changes, not only in the way we understand ownership but also in the way we understand the state. Its most dramatic consequence arrived in the nineteenth century, with the final disappearance of the lawful private ownership of humans, which had been taken for granted for thousands of years.

The size of the U.S. cattle herd is around the lowest it's ever been, but one cattle marketer says larger animals are helping to keep beef readily available for consumers. In this episode, DRG Media Group Pierre News and Farm Director Jody Heemstra chats with Dennis Metzger from the Whitman, Nebraska, area to get his impression of the situation. Metzger works with seed stock, feeder calves and feeder calf marketing, among other things.

Today we think of land as the paradigmatic example of property, while in the past, the paradigmatic example was often a slave. In this seminal work, James Q. Whitman asserts that there is no natural form of ownership.

The world of art theft looks glamorous in the movies, but the reality is far more complicated. From multi-million dollar forgery schemes to undercover FBI operations recovering stolen national treasures, art crime is a global industry hiding in plain sight.  This conversation digs into how these crimes actually play out and why the people who pull them off often end up stuck with the very pieces they thought would make them rich. My guest today is Robert Wittman, a former FBI special agent and the founder of the FBI's Art Crime Team. Over a 20-year career, he worked undercover in more than 20 countries and helped recover over $300 million in stolen art and cultural property. He's also the author of Priceless, where he shares stories from those investigations and what really goes on behind the scenes. We discuss the movie version of art crime and how it actually works. Whitman explains why most stolen masterpieces are nearly impossible to sell, how insider access plays a role in many museum thefts, and why forgery and fraud now make up the bulk of the market. There's also a practical side to it. Whether it's fine art, prints, or even sports memorabilia, the same patterns show up again and again. People trust the wrong details, skip the research, and get pulled in by what feels like a deal. The takeaway is pretty straightforward. Slow down, check what you're buying, and don't assume something is real just because the story sounds convincing. Show Notes: [01:06] Robert Wittman introduces his FBI career and explains how he founded the Art Crime Team, leading investigations across 20 countries and recovering over $300 million in stolen art. [04:01] He shares how he ended up in art crime almost by accident, getting assigned museum theft cases early in his career when no one else wanted them. [07:00] We get a breakdown of the art crime industry, including how much of it is driven by forgery and fraud versus outright theft. [10:00] Whitman explains why stolen high-value artwork is extremely difficult to sell and often becomes a liability for the criminals who take it. [13:43] A reality check on museum security, comparing Hollywood portrayals to how thefts actually happen in the U.S. and abroad. [16:18] The conversation shifts to jewelry theft and why stolen gems are far easier to break down and resell than famous works of art. [19:19] He walks through a major forgery case involving a well-known New York gallery that unknowingly sold millions of dollars in fake paintings. [22:55] Practical advice for everyday buyers on how to avoid getting scammed when purchasing art or collectibles online. [26:34] One of the most fascinating recoveries: an original copy of the Bill of Rights stolen in the 1800s and tracked down over a century later. [30:20] A much smaller but equally interesting case involving ancient cylinder seals and how they were unknowingly brought back from Iraq. [32:30] The risks in the sports memorabilia market, including widespread forgery and why authentication matters more than ever. [35:37] Final advice on protecting yourself as both a buyer and seller by doing basic research and understanding the true value of what you have. Thanks for joining us on Easy Prey.

In this compelling episode of John Solomon Reports, we delve into the latest developments surrounding accountability and the ongoing investigations into government misconduct. FBI Director Kash Patel hints at imminent indictments related to the weaponization of government, dating back to the controversial Russia collusion case. We explore the implications of these potential indictments, especially regarding the 2019 impeachment of President Donald Trump, which is now being scrutinized for its legitimacy and political bias.Senator Rick Scott of Florida joins us to announce his groundbreaking legislation aimed at expunging the 2019 impeachment vote against Trump, marking a historic move in American politics. This resolution seeks to address the perceived illegitimacy of the impeachment process, setting a precedent that could reshape the political landscape.In the second segment, we hear from Congressman Rob Wittman of Virginia, who is actively campaigning against a proposed constitutional amendment that threatens to gerrymander the state. Whitman shares his insights on the importance of fair representation and the potential fallout of partisan redistricting, emphasizing the need for voter engagement to preserve the integrity of Virginia's electoral maps.As the episode unfolds, we also examine the fallout from the Ukraine impeachment saga, revealing new evidence that challenges the narratives presented during the impeachment trial. A recent Rasmussen Reports poll indicates a growing belief among Americans that government officials acted unlawfully to create a false impression of wrongdoing by Trump, further complicating the historical narrative surrounding the impeachment.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Last week, the White House released its budget proposal for fiscal year 2027, featuring an increase of 42% in defense spending to $1.5 trillion and a 10% decrease in non-defense spending to $660 billion. Specifically, the White House requested the budget to increase the capacity of the Navy, give pay raises to troops, resupply munitions, invest in critical resources, and build a “Golden Dome” missile defense system. The administration characterized the non-defense spending it had identified to cut as part of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) and “woke programs” that drive government waste.

In this family-cast episode of the Smart Real Estate Coach Podcast, I sit down with our High 6 Associate Richard Whitman to walk through his 20-year journey from mechanic and accountant to creative real estate investor building three-payday deals. Rich bought his first flip back in 2005, was actively buying foreclosures through the 2008 crash, and today holds 13 properties, 20 units, and an Airbnb—plus he's now stacking terms deals on top of that portfolio.     We break down how he turned an expired listing from a veteran on the brink of giving the house back to the bank into a subject-to, three-payday deal worth roughly $80,000 in total profit, with $30,000 down, strong monthly cash flow, and a solid back-end. You'll hear how the bootcamp "light bulbs" helped him stop over-rehabbing, how our buyer-side systems and Wednesday Q&A calls fast-tracked his confidence, and why his mission now is to help families avoid foreclosure while hitting his goal of two creative finance deals a month.    If you're a W-2 earner, a seasoned flipper, or a buy-and-hold investor who knows there's more leverage in terms, this conversation will show you how to plug into the three-payday system and move from baby steps to "jogging" toward financial freedom.   Key Talking Points of the Episode   00:00 Introduction 02:03 How Rich got the real estate itch 03:01 Buying foreclosures through the 2008 crash 04:10 Passion for foreclosures and helping people 05:26 From bootcamp light-bulb moments to joining the community 06:50 Why the three-payday structure clicked 07:25 Building a family business with his daughter 08:12 Deal breakdown: expired listing, veteran, and sub-to 09:10 Learning subject-to on the fly and educating the seller 10:02 Support from the Smart Real Estate Coach team 11:21 Why weekly buyer Q&A calls matter 15:02 The numbers: $30K down and ~80K total profit 16:04 Gratitude and impact: serving both sides of the table 17:55 Deal timelines: from lead to contract to funded buyer 18:37 Balancing helping family, flips, and three-payday goals 20:21 Leveraging coaches and a deep bench of experience 22:01 Mindset shift: from loss and fear to baby steps and jogging   Quotables   "I bought my first flip, cost me ten grand, put about twelve in it and sold it for fifty. So that gave me a good itch to start doing more."   "I'm just thankful for anything. I'm thankful I could help somebody out… I'm thankful I got somebody in a house that weren't able to get qualified through banks."   "Even if you just start out at the bottom level, get in there, put your foot in there and start taking the baby steps, and sooner or later you'll be jogging."   Links   Free Discovery Call https://smartrealestatecoachpodcast.com/discovery   3 Paydays® System Mastery Course - Use coupon code for 50% off https://smartrealestatecoach.com/qls Coupon code: pod   Apprentice Program https://3paydaysapprentice.com Coupon code: Podcast   Masterclass https://smartrealestatecoach.com/masterspodcast   3 Paydays Books https://3paydaysbooks.com/podcast   Strategy Session https://smartrealestatecoach.com/actionpodcast   Partners https://smartrealestatecoach.com/podcastresources
