1 Doesn't wisdom cry out? Doesn't understanding raise her voice? 2 On the top of high places by the way, where the paths meet, she stands. 3 Beside the gates, at the entry of the city, at the entry doors, she cries aloud: 4 "I call to you men! I send my voice to the sons of mankind. 5 You simple, understand prudence! You fools, be of an understanding heart! 6 Hear, for I will speak excellent things. The opening of my lips is for right things. 7 For my mouth speaks truth. Wickedness is an abomination to my lips. 8 All the words of my mouth are in righteousness. There is nothing crooked or perverse in them. 9 They are all plain to him who understands, right to those who find knowledge. 10 Receive my instruction rather than silver, knowledge rather than choice gold. 11 For wisdom is better than rubies. All the things that may be desired can't be compared to it. 12 "I, wisdom, have made prudence my dwelling. Find out knowledge and discretion. 13 The fear of Yahweh is to hate evil. I hate pride, arrogance, the evil way, and the perverse mouth. 14 Counsel and sound knowledge are mine. I have understanding and power. 15 By me kings reign, and princes decree justice. 16 By me princes rule, nobles, and all the righteous rulers of the earth. 17 I love those who love me. Those who seek me diligently will find me. 18 With me are riches, honor, enduring wealth, and prosperity. 19 My fruit is better than gold, yes, than fine gold, my yield than choice silver. 20 I walk in the way of righteousness, in the middle of the paths of justice, 21 that I may give wealth to those who love me. I fill their treasuries. 22 "Yahweh possessed me in the beginning of his work, before his deeds of old. 23 I was set up from everlasting, from the beginning, before the earth existed. 24 When there were no depths, I was born, when there were no springs abounding with water. 25 Before the mountains were settled in place, before the hills, I was born; 26 while as yet he had not made the earth, nor the fields, nor the beginning of the dust of the world. 27 When he established the heavens, I was there. When he set a circle on the surface of the deep, 28 when he established the clouds above, when the springs of the deep became strong, 29 when he gave to the sea its boundary, that the waters should not violate his commandment, when he marked out the foundations of the earth, 30 then I was the craftsman by his side. I was a delight day by day, always rejoicing before him, 31 rejoicing in his whole world. My delight was with the sons of men. 32 "Now therefore, my sons, listen to me, for blessed are those who keep my ways. 33 Hear instruction, and be wise. Don't refuse it. 34 Blessed is the man who hears me, watching daily at my gates, waiting at my door posts. 35 For whoever finds me finds life, and will obtain favor from Yahweh. 36 But he who sins against me wrongs his own soul. All those who hate me love death." Listen Donate Subscribe: Proverbs Daily Podcast Psalms Daily Podcast

Pastor Al Dagel borrows some teaching from the Apostle Paul to help us understand the need for prayer on many levels.
Genesis 19:1-11
Psalms 56–58 — Cry, Confidence, and JudgmentTaught by Kerry Battle | Ahava~Love AssemblyIn this Psalms Wisdom Study, we dive into Psalms 56–58 using the oldest Hebrew and Greek manuscripts (Dead Sea Scrolls, LXX, Paleo-Hebrew) and the Renewed Covenant witnesses. These chapters reveal David's journey from tears to triumph, trust in the shadow of Yah's wings, and confidence in the righteous judgment of Yahuah.
A Sermon for the Eleventh Sunday after Trinity 1 Corinthians 15:1-11 & St. Luke 18:9-14 by William Klock “Two men went up to the temple to pray,” Jesus said. The temple was the place where heaven and earth met. The place where men and women could go to be in the presence of God. Twice a day the priests would lead the people in prayers, at nine in the morning and at three in the afternoon, but people could go any time to pray. On this day, two men climbed the steps to the temple courts to pray. “One,” Jesus said, “was a Pharisee.” A Jew could pray anywhere—at home, wherever. But if anyone was going to go out of their way to pray at the temple, it was going to be a Pharisee. The temple was everything to them. They weren't priests, but they lived their lives as if they were. So it was natural for a Pharisee to go to the temple to pray. But there were two men this day, Jesus said, who went up to the temple. “The other was a tax collector.” If there was a polar opposite of the Pharisee, it was the tax collector. The Pharisees were devoted to God's covenant and to his law. They kept every last jot and tittle of it. But the tax collectors. When Jesus mentioned a tax collector, his whole audience recoiled. They were the worst of the worst. There were “sinners”—that means Jews who made lifestyle that rejected God's covenant with them—but then there were tax collectors. They were a special kind of sinner. The scum of the earth. They got rich sucking up to the gentile dogs while swindling their own people. I expect that as Jesus described these two men, everyone had a similar mental picture. The Pharisee, dignified, wearing his fine clothes, making his way confidently up the steps to the temple complex, and striding just as confidently through the outer courts. Everyone knew him, everyone he passed greeted him respectfully as he made his way through the various gates and colonnades, further and further into the temple complex. But then the tax collector. Maybe it took him three times to make it up those steps, because twice he turned around, overwhelmed by guilt and shame. And on the far side of the court of the Gentiles, the soreg, the low wall that marked the boundary between the pure and impure, made him pause. He didn't belong on the other side. But he'd already spent weeks tracking down the people he'd fleeced and making restitution to them. There was no going back. So he steeled himself and passed through, head down, trying to look unobtrusive, because he knew—he just knew—that everyone recognised him. And he went to one of the men selling lambs. And he picked one out, paid for it, took it in his arms—he wasn't used to handling animals—and he got in line in the courtyard outside the sanctuary, waiting for a priest as the lamb struggled. And finally, a priest motioned him toward the altar. He presented the lamb, his sin offering, and as the priest held it, the tax collector laid his hands on it and slit its throat. And the priest collected the blood and poured it out at the base of the altar, then butchered the little lamb and burned its fat. Now he was pure. But there was still more to do. The tax collector went back out to the outer court and this time he bought a ram for a guilt offering. And a servant helped him with the ram as he, again, went back to stand in line for a priest. And, again, he placed his hands on the ram as the priest held it. And he killed it, and as with the lamb, the blood was poured out and the fat was burned. And his guilt was expiated. And now he could go and pray. And there he saw the Pharisee. The Pharisee had seen him, too. The Pharisee had seen him all along. As he'd chatted with a friend, the Pharisee had seen the tax collector buy his lamb. And he'd seem him again as he bought his ram. As he stood there praying, he'd seen the sacrifice. God may have forgiven the tax collector, but the Pharisee sure didn't see him that way. He took a smug look back at the tax collector and, Jesus says, “he prayed in this way to himself, ‘God, I thank you that I am not like other people: greedy, unjust, immoral, or even like this tax collector. I fast twice a week. I give tithes of all that I get.'” And the tax collector. Jesus says he “stood a long way off, not even wanting to lift his eyes to heaven. He beat his breast and said, ‘God, be merciful to me, sinner that I am.'” He'd gone through the formal actions of forgiveness, but he knew that mere formalism would never see him reconciled to God. And so, after offering his sacrifices, he knelt humbly and prayed the words of Psalm 51: “Have mercy on me, O God—the psalm goes on—according to your steadfast love, according to your abundant mercy, blot out my transgressions.” He knew. God isn't a vending machine. Offering a lamb isn't like pushing B4 and absolution drops into the slot for you to take. He knew the words of the psalm. David went on to sing, “The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit; a broken and contrite heart, O God, you will not despise.” And so the tax collector knelt—and without any presumption—threw himself on the grace of God. And, as Jesus has said elsewhere, all of heaven rejoiced over this repentant sinner—even as the Pharisee scowled at him. And Jesus said to the people, “Let me tell you, he—the tax collector—was the one who went back to his home vindicated by God, not the other.” That had to make some people angry. It was one thing to grant—even if a little grudgingly—that there was something good about a repentant tax collector. Okay, he offered his lamb and his ram and his contrition was obviously real. But dissing the Pharisee? That was too much. But you see, this is exactly why Jesus told this story. Luke introduces this episode saying, “Jesus told this next parable against those who trusted in their own righteous standing and despised others.” And so Jesus explains: “Don't you see? People who exalt themselves will be humbled, and people who humble themselves will be exalted.” Going to the temple, standing before the Lord, and singing out a litany of your own pious greatness—that's not pleasing to the Lord. That's a good way to find yourself humbled on the last day. And having this in mind that makes this bigger than the Pharisees. Maybe they were the worst offenders, but Jesus gets to the heart of Israel's problem and exposes it. They knew they were “in”. They knew that when the Day of the Lord came, judgement would fall on everyone else and that they would be vindicated and go on to live in his presence in the age to come, they knew this because they faithfully bore all the markers of God's covenant. They were circumcised, they kept the sabbath, and they ate the right foods—they kept God's law. That meant they were righteous…or so they thought. But Jesus sort of asks here: “Where is your heart?” This is what the prophets had been asking Israel—and warning her about—for centuries. Reminding the people that formalism doesn't cut it. Yes, God required sacrifices. He'd given them a law. But obedience was supposed flow from a humble heart overflowing with gratitude for God's grace. It was supposed to be rooted in faith—faith in a God who had called a childless pagan named Abram and blessed him beyond anything he deserved; faith in a God who called a sorry and miserable group of slaves out of Egypt and blessed them beyond anything they deserved. But Israel got complacent, and comfortable, and forgot the source of her blessings. Instead of trusting God, she trusted in horses and chariots and kings—and even foreign gods. She thought mere formalism would satisfy God's requirement for holiness. And her heart became hard, idolatrous, and self-righteous. So for all their love of torah, the hearts of the Pharisees were far from God—and in that, they represented most of the people in Israel. They exalted themselves and presumed upon God, when they should have been humble before him, thanking him for his grace. When judgement day came, they were ready to sing that litany of their righteousness: We're not like other people. We fast and we tithe. We're circumcised and we keep the sabbath. And God would high-five them and the invite them along to go smite the sinners and tax collectors and gentiles. Their hearts will filled with pride, not faith. Habakkuk was one of those prophets that had warned Israel in the days before the exile. “Look at the proud!” he said, “His spirit is presumptuous and is not right, but the righteous shall live by faith.” Pride and faith, Brothers and Sisters, are polar opposites. Habakkuk looked around him lamented to the Lord: O Lord, how long shall I cry for help, and you will not hear? Or cry to you “Violence!” and you will not save? Why do you make me see iniquity, and why do you idly look at wrong? Destruction and violence are before me; strife and contention arise. So the law is paralyzed, and justice never goes forth. For the wicked surround the righteous; so justice goes forth perverted. (Habakkuk 1:1-4) Wickedness, idolatry, injustice—pride. Judah no longer trusted in the Lord and it showed. The heart of the people was far from God and those who were humble, who did lean on his grace were trampled under foot. And Habakkuk knew it couldn't go on like this forever. He knew the Lord's judgement on a wicked and faithless and proud people had to come soon. And so he cried out to the Lord and the Lord assured him: “The righteous shall live by faith.” In other words, the righteous will live the way they always do, regardless of circumstances: by faith in the grace and mercy and goodness of God—not in pride, but by faith. Pride is insidious. It can take any form in order to push out faith. The Pharisees were, in most ways, so close—but in them pride twisted faith itself. I wonder what Habakkuk would think of our world. We now have a whole season devoted to pride. At first it was a month, but now it just seems to go on and on: Pridetide, the unholy parody of Trinitytide. At least the Pharisees were prideful for their good works. Today, the wicked and perverted announce their sins with pride and their “ally” lackies signal their virtue as loudly as possible. And the wealthy and the powerful, governments and corporation and businesses big and small join in the litany of pride and woe to anyone who dares to dissent and on whom the scorn and wrath of the Pride Pharisees falls. The more things change, the more they stay the same. The proud are always convinced of their own righteousness and standing before God. And yet Jesus told so many stories in which the proud—so sure of their righteous standing—ended up finding themselves in the outer darkness, weeping and gnashing their teeth, while the tax collectors and sinners—having discovered the mercy and grace of God, having repented in faith—found themselves welcomed into the feast. Again, pride and faith are polar opposites, mutually exclusive. And I think this is why the church, for the Eleventh Sunday after Trinity, has coupled this Gospel about the Pharisee and the tax collector with St. Paul's affirmation of faith at the beginning of 1 Corinthians 15. He begins with the gospel, with the good news about Jesus. He writes: “Let me remind you, Brother [and Sisters], about the good news which I announced to you.” I love the way it works in Greek. Paul talks about the gospel that he gospelled to them. The gospel is the best news ever. It's the news that changes everything. It's the news that dispels—or, at any rate, it should dispel—any ideas we have about being proud of ourselves. Because Paul goes on and says, “You received this good news, and you're standing firm on it, and you are saved through it, if you hold fast the message I announced—I gospelled—to you. Unless it was for nothing that you believed.” These were men and women who had stood on all sorts of things. Some of them were Jews and once they had stood on that: on their circumcision, on their sabbath keeping, on their general keeping of torah. Some of them were Gentiles. They'd stood on their pagan gods, or on the emperor, or on their philosophies. But then Paul came and he gospelled the gospel. He announced the good news and it changed everything. Or, at least it did for a time. And then pride started creeping back in. It's insidious. And as pride crept in, it pushed faith in the good news out. And Paul says of that good news: “What I handed on to you at the beginning, you see, was what I received, namely this: The Messiah died for our sins in accordance with the scriptures, he was buried, he was raised on the third day in accordance with the scriptures, he was seen by Cephas, then by the twelve, then he was seen by over five hundred brothers and sisters all at once, most of whom are still with us, though some fell asleep, then he was seen by James, then by all the apostles.” The good news is that Jesus died and Jesus was raised and that it happened just as God had promised in the scriptures. Jesus led his people in a new exodus and in that exodus he revealed God's mercy and grace and God's power and might and glory. He revealed God's faithfulness to his promises. In Jesus' death sins are forgiven and in his resurrection the life of God, his new creation began. If the exodus from Egypt and all it revealed about God and its annual remembrance every year in the Passover could dispel Israel's pride and fill the people with faith in their God, how much more should this new exodus from sin and death dispel our pride and bring us humbly in faith to God through Jesus? If we will only believe and trust. That was Paul's problem. He was filled with pride. He refused and refused and refused. He persecuted the church. But as a testimony to the patient grace of God, Paul goes on. He writes, “And last of all, as to one untimely born, he appeared even to me.” It's hard to say exactly what he means here when he says “untimely born”. The word in question is only used this one time in the New Testament, but it refers to a premature birth. It could be a miscarriage or premature birth where the baby lives, but it could also refer to a child monstrously deformed by having been born premature. It may be that some people in Corinth who didn't like Paul called him a monster because of his appearance and Paul is humble owning the accusation. But the key thing, what Paul's getting at is the risen Jesus—not just a vision of Jesus but the real, live living Jesus—appeared to him last of all and Paul wants to stress that he didn't deserve it. “I'm the least of the apostles,” he writes. “In fact, I don't really deserve to be called ‘apostle' at all, because I persecuted God's church. But I am what I am because of God's grace, and his grace to me wasn't wasted.” Paul has been the epitome of the proud Pharisee. And then he met Jesus on the road to Damascus and every last bit of his pride came crashing down around him. Seeing Jesus alive was the proof that the gospel was true and if the gospel was true, none of the things in which Paul had prided himself mattered any more. The only thing that mattered was faith—faith in Jesus the Messiah who died and rose again. Paul knew he didn't deserve that vision of Jesus. He didn't deserve the grace of God. But there it was. God had given his son to die, so that Paul, the proud Pharisee could live. And ditto for everyone in the church in Corinth. God gave his son to die so that those other Jews there could live. He gave his son to die so that soldier proud of his devotion to Caesar or the prostitute proud of her devotion Aphrodite or the witch proud of her magic or the philosopher proud of his philosophy could live. Each one of them, confronted with the gospel had their pride dispelled and that same gospel filled them with faith in the living God and his son who died and rose again. And forever after they came to him in humility to fall on his grace and to praise him for his merciful lovingkindness. Even Paul, after all he accomplished as a missionary apostle, writes to them: “I am what I am because of the grace of God, and his grace to me wasn't wasted. On the contrary, I worked harder than all of them—though it wasn't me, but God's grace which was within me. So whether it was me or them, that was the way we announced it, and that was the way you believed.” Paul won't even take credit for what had happened in Corinth as a result of the gospel being preached. It wasn't Paul's skill or his reasoning or his apologetics. It was the grace of God. Brothers and Sisters, be captivated by the grace of God on display at the cross. There God displayed his glory and that glory ought to dispel every last bit of pride we have—whatever it is we take pride in. The gospel shines so brightly, it exposes the things in which we take pride as filthy rags in comparison. And when pride is gone, then the gospel—this good news of God's saving grace, this good news about the God who humbled himself to take our form and to die for us so that we, his enemies can be his friends again, good news of the god who gave his own life to forgive our sins, that good news ought to fill us with faith overflowing. So Brothers and Sisters, hear the good news about Jesus this morning. How he died and rose again for you. Not because you are so great, but because he loves you—his precious creation so much—hear that good news in the scriptures and in the liturgy and when you come to his Table. Let it dispel all pride; be humbled by the gospel, and be filled instead with faith. In the midst of a broken word, faith in the living God will begin to set things to rights, not pride in ourselves. Faith in the living God, not pride in ourselves, is our real and lasting source of hope. Let's pray: Lord God, you declare your almighty power most chiefly in showing mercy and pity: mercifully grant to us such a measure of your grace, that we, running the way of your commandments, may receive your gracious promises, and be made partakers of your heavenly treasure; through Jesus Christ your Son our Lord, who lives and reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.

Rescuing some rather poor unfortunates was not what the team had on their 'to-do' list, but our heroes are full of help where it is needed, often at their own expense.Every effort was made to assist those that needed aid most, and they had the perfect sanctuary space to offer for their continued safety. Kaif was a key player in this plan, he was left on watch whilst Ogvar, Otto and Elora made meaningful moves toward hunting down their quarry, intent on delivering some swift pay back for the barbaric behaviour they had been witness to.We will escort you through the rocky mountainsides of Stensia and the deep, wooded hinterlands of Kessig, sail on the treacherous waterways of Nephalia and set course for the Silver city of Thraben.Head on over to our website & Keep up to date with our behind the scenes antics and latest information at:The Dungeons & Dragons Podcast UK – Fantasy Role Play Podcast (wordpress.com)The Dungeons And Dragons Podcast UK (@PodcastteamUK) / TwitterThe Dungeons and Dragons Podcast UK | FacebookPlease note: The Dungeons and Dragons Podcast UK team has NO connection or association whatsoever with Wizards of the Coast.Attributions:Some ambient sounds and music backing are sourced courtesy of Travis Savoie: RPG Music Maker is creating soundtracks for Dungeons&Dragons | PatreonSome ambient sounds and music backing is sourced courtesy of RPG Audio:The World's Reference RPG Audio - Michael Ghelfi Studios - HomeSome ambient sounds and music backing is sourced courtesy of Rafael Krux: Track List | Orchestralis / Krux Music Publishing LimitedIt takes a HUGE amount of time & effort to produce a good podcast.

After promising His work is fueled "not by might, nor by power," God gives Zechariah two startling visions of judgment. A flying scroll carries a curse to cleanse the land of sin, and a woman named "Wickedness" is captured, sealed in a basket, and carried into exile. How does the promise of the Spirit's power relate to the necessity of purging sin? We explore how God's Spirit both empowers and purifies His people, a dual work perfectly fulfilled in Jesus Christ. The Rev. Chris Matthis, pastor of Epiphany Lutheran Church in Castle Rock, CO, joins the Rev. Dr. Phil Booe to study Zechariah 4 and 5. To learn more about Epiphany Lutheran, visit epiphanylc.org. The Persian king Cyrus issues an astonishing decree: the exiles may go home. Among them are the Jews—God's chosen people—whom this pagan ruler not only repatriates, but commands to rebuild the temple of the Lord. Ezra 1–4 tells of their return, the joy of restored worship, and the crushing opposition that brings construction to a standstill. Then the prophets Haggai and Zechariah speak with God's authority, calling His people to courage, repentance, and hope. In Ezra 5–8 the temple is completed, worship flourishes, and hearts are renewed in God's Word. This series on Thy Strong Word follows the events in the order they happened, revealing how the Lord moves kings and prophets, overcomes opposition, and restores His people. Thy Strong Word, hosted by Rev. Dr. Phil Booe, pastor of St. John Lutheran Church of Luverne, MN, reveals the light of our salvation in Christ through study of God's Word, breaking our darkness with His redeeming light. Each weekday, two pastors fix our eyes on Jesus by considering Holy Scripture, verse by verse, in order to be strengthened in the Word and be equipped to faithfully serve in our daily vocations.

Today, Pastor Al Dagel explains the favorite verse of many unbelievers by keeping it in context..
Send us a textAmaziah was a king in the southern kingdom. He started his reign well but went sideways and ultimately ended up dying in disgrace and leaving the kingdom in shambles. What happened to Amaziah happens to many people in the church, they get tired of doing good and instead go after forbidden fruit which often times takes them down. However there are others who continue to live their lives following Jesus and finish their life pleasing the Lord. And that's where we want to be.
The title of today's episode of "Moments of Grace", Light instead of darkness, sets the stage for Pastor Al Dagel to point us to the Light of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

08/10/2025 Sermon by Fred Mok
God leads His people into a land of His promises. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses how we can live under the blessings of God. Our Lord made covenants with His people, and under those covenants we have complete, total, and entire provision. Pastor Allen teaches the importance of obedience and forming a true relationship with Christ so we can live in His promises. The things of this world that catch our attention may seem most significant, but everything pales in comparison with knowing God.
1 Doesn't wisdom cry out? Doesn't understanding raise her voice? 2 On the top of high places by the way, where the paths meet, she stands. 3 Beside the gates, at the entry of the city, at the entry doors, she cries aloud: 4 "I call to you men! I send my voice to the sons of mankind. 5 You simple, understand prudence! You fools, be of an understanding heart! 6 Hear, for I will speak excellent things. The opening of my lips is for right things. 7 For my mouth speaks truth. Wickedness is an abomination to my lips. 8 All the words of my mouth are in righteousness. There is nothing crooked or perverse in them. 9 They are all plain to him who understands, right to those who find knowledge. 10 Receive my instruction rather than silver, knowledge rather than choice gold. 11 For wisdom is better than rubies. All the things that may be desired can't be compared to it. 12 "I, wisdom, have made prudence my dwelling. Find out knowledge and discretion. 13 The fear of Yahweh is to hate evil. I hate pride, arrogance, the evil way, and the perverse mouth. 14 Counsel and sound knowledge are mine. I have understanding and power. 15 By me kings reign, and princes decree justice. 16 By me princes rule, nobles, and all the righteous rulers of the earth. 17 I love those who love me. Those who seek me diligently will find me. 18 With me are riches, honor, enduring wealth, and prosperity. 19 My fruit is better than gold, yes, than fine gold, my yield than choice silver. 20 I walk in the way of righteousness, in the middle of the paths of justice, 21 that I may give wealth to those who love me. I fill their treasuries. 22 "Yahweh possessed me in the beginning of his work, before his deeds of old. 23 I was set up from everlasting, from the beginning, before the earth existed. 24 When there were no depths, I was born, when there were no springs abounding with water. 25 Before the mountains were settled in place, before the hills, I was born; 26 while as yet he had not made the earth, nor the fields, nor the beginning of the dust of the world. 27 When he established the heavens, I was there. When he set a circle on the surface of the deep, 28 when he established the clouds above, when the springs of the deep became strong, 29 when he gave to the sea its boundary, that the waters should not violate his commandment, when he marked out the foundations of the earth, 30 then I was the craftsman by his side. I was a delight day by day, always rejoicing before him, 31 rejoicing in his whole world. My delight was with the sons of men. 32 "Now therefore, my sons, listen to me, for blessed are those who keep my ways. 33 Hear instruction, and be wise. Don't refuse it. 34 Blessed is the man who hears me, watching daily at my gates, waiting at my door posts. 35 For whoever finds me finds life, and will obtain favor from Yahweh. 36 But he who sins against me wrongs his own soul. All those who hate me love death." Listen Donate Subscribe: Proverbs Daily Podcast Psalms Daily Podcast

Psalm 36 draws attention to our need to recognize sin as sin. Our sin is rebellion against God that will be called to account and determine our eternal future. In our rebellion we have no fear of God, yet we behold God's unimpeachable character to deliver and save. Wickedness from without and within is confronted by the righteous LORD unto destruction or deliverance. And our only hope is by faith to flee to the LORD for refuge. For God—our God—is the dreadful, delightful, and delivering LORD. Listen to Pastor Brett's sermon on Psalm 36 for more.
On this episode, Deji and Sharon review music from the past week, including Ayra Starr's “Hot Body,” Asake's “BADMAN GANGSTA,” Tyla ft Wizkid's “Dynamite,” Ric Hassani ft Terry G's “Wickedness,” and Amaarae's “Girlie-Pop!” They also discussed Asake signing to Gamma, and Donawon and Omah Lay's split. _________We want to hear from you!

Trump's suppression of the Epstein list is a powerful (and enraging) example of the laws of wickedness in operation—something the Book of Mormon highlights in tragic detail.
In today's Morning Manna, we uncover the chilling profile of the one Solomon calls a “perverse man”—a man whose words are twisted, whose actions are subtle, and whose heart is set on sowing division. Proverbs 6:12–15 warns us that not all danger wears a villain's mask—some plot quietly with gestures, whispers, and deceit. But Scripture assures us: their end is certain, sudden, and without remedy.

Pride is the pathway for destruction. When someone's life is in shambles, pride often went before that.In his series Faces of Pride, Dr. Gabriel Allen Powell unpacks the complexities of pride and its many faces by challenging listeners to examine their hearts, confront uncomfortable truths, and pursue authentic humility over mere outward appearances. The message takes a close look at intellectual pride—how the need to always be right and difficulty submitting to authority can damage relationships and spiritual growth.
