Is The Greatest Shift in Christian Theology Going From Heaven to Earth?   Heaven isn't the point of the gospel—and N.T. Wright challenges the "accept Jesus and escape earth" narrative of Christianity. Curtis Chang talks with Wright, leading theologian and prolific author, about New Creation and his latest book God's Homecoming: The Forgotten Promise of Future Renewal, asking whether the Bible's promise is the Kingdom of God on earth—or simply going to heaven when you die. They examine the "royal priesthood" calling, what this means for life after death and suffering now, and the true purpose of Christian faith.   Sign up for the Good Faith Newsletter Learn more about George Fox Talks Register for the Illuminate Arts + Faith Conference   03:43 - The Continuity Between Old and New Testaments 05:05 - Reject Platonism and Embracing New Creation? 08:04 - A Vision More Demanding Than The "Ticket To Heaven" Gospel 13:48 - What Does This Mean For Grace, Works, and Human Vocation? 19:53 - Divergence on the Meaning of The Kingdom of God 27:24 - The Problem of Evil and the "Now and Not Yet" 34:59 - A Pastoral Response to Heaven-Focused Theology 40:41 - How Are Heaven and Earth Interlocking Realities? 47:59 - The Royal Priesthood: Humanity's Biblical Mandate 51:47 - Tom Wright's Future Projects and Reflections   Scriptures: Revelation 5:9-10 (ESV) - kingdom + priests reign on the earth Exodus 19:6; Deuteronomy 7:6; 1 Peter 2:9 (ESV) - royal priesthood Genesis 1-2 (ESV) - creation "very good"; humanity's vocation Revelation 21–22 (ESV) - new heaven/new earth; God dwelling with humanity Romans 12:2 (ESV) - renewing of the mind Romans 8:21–23 (ESV) - creation set free; redemption of bodies Malachi 3:1 + Isaiah 40:3 (ESV) - prepare the way; the Lord coming to his temple Psalm 8 (ESV) - humanity crowned with glory/honor; vocation Ephesians 4 (ESV) - new humanity; community ethics   Mentioned in This Episode: N.T.

Wright engages in a heartfelt conversation with Mike Freezer, who shares his transformative journey of faith. From a difficult past to a renewed commitment to Christ, Mike's story inspires listeners to explore their own spiritual paths and the power of God's word.Main Content:1. **Early Struggles and Awakening** Mike Freezer's journey began before his teenage years when he first accepted Christ as his Savior. However, attending a spiritually stagnant church hindered his growth. After high school, he found himself on the wrong path, leading to a pivotal moment where he sought to realign his life with God. Through the introduction to a Bible-believing church, he experienced a profound awakening, hearing the Word of God preached with passion for the first time. This marked the beginning of a lifelong commitment to understanding and living out his faith.2. **The Importance of Community** Mike emphasizes how vital it is to be part of a community of believers, referring to the church not as a building but as the body of Christ. He recounts how the encouragement and support from fellow believers helped him grow in his faith. "I realized what really marriage was about," he shares, reflecting on how his relationships within the church played a crucial role in his spiritual development.3. **Facing Adversity** Life took a challenging turn for Mike when he faced a divorce, a moment he describes as a significant upset. Acknowledging his part in the situation, he emphasizes that God remained with him throughout his struggles. This period pushed him to delve deeper into the Word of God, leading him to memorize scripture. Mike dedicates six months to memorizing Psalms 19 and 139, which ignited a new passion for God's Word, making it "living and active" in his life.4. **A New Calling** At 66, Mike and his wife started a home church, marking a new chapter in his ministry journey. He began writing a book titled "God Wins Again" to share how God has continually worked in his life. Although the book is still in progress, he transitioned to creating a 15-part video series titled "God Wins Again: Your First Love." This series aims to inspire viewers to reflect on their own faith journeys and recognize God's presence in their lives.5. **Memorizing Scripture** Mike highlights the significance of memorizing scripture as a means of spiritual revival. He shares his favorite passage from Ephesians 1:18-23, which speaks of the hope and power believers have through Christ. This practice not only deepens understanding but also strengthens the connection to God, affirming that each part of the body of Christ has equal importance.Conclusion: Mike Freezer's journey is a testament to the transformative power of faith and the Word of God. His story encourages listeners to seek revival in their spiritual lives, embrace community, and actively engage with scripture. Key takeaways include the importance of a supportive church community,...

Iniciamos nossa nova série, “Orando e Vivendo Salmos”, que não são apenas escritos antigos, mas são a "anatomia de todas as partes da alma". Eles funcionam como lentes que transformam nossa visão de mundo. N.T. Wright, diz que o saltério “não é aquilo para o qual olhamos, mas o meio através do qual enxergamos” a realidade sob a soberania de Deus. Ler os Salmos exige uma perspectiva específica: Jesus Cristo. Ele não é apenas uma "boa forma" de interpretar esses poemas, mas a única lente possível. O próprio Cristo orou os Salmos na cruz, revelando que Ele é o cumprimento final de cada clamor e celebração. Sem a perspectiva cristológica, perdemos o fôlego da resposta que acalma a alma. Enquanto lemos, encontramos um Deus que é transcendente e pessoal ao mesmo tempo. Ele governa a história e o cosmos, mas inclina o ouvido para o dilema individual do salmista. Essa dualidade nos convida a uma "mente que sente e um coração que pensa", unindo teologia e doxologia. Não se pode conhecer o Deus da Bíblia sem explodir em louvor. O convite final encontrado no Salmos 150.6, "Tudo o que respira louve ao Senhor", nos ensina que o louvor é a voz da saúde interior. Como disse C.S. Lewis, o prazer só é completo quando expresso. Por isso, devemos levar a Deus não apenas a alegria, mas a totalidade dos nossos sentimentos, sejam medos, lutos, inseguranças e até a indignação. Deus não se choca com nossa humanidade. Louvar em todas as situações é uma prática transformadora que molda nosso caráter e anuncia ao mundo que, em meio às dores da vida comum, somos "poemas de Deus" feitos para a Sua glória. __ #FAMÍLIADOSQUECREEM #SÉRIEORANDOEVIVENDOSALMOS Visite nosso site: http://familiadosquecreem.com Compre nossos livros e produtos: http://familiadosquecreem.com/loja Contribua financeiramente: http://familiadosquecreem.com.br/contribuir Ouça nossas músicas: https://open.spotify.com/artist/6aPdiaGuHcyDVGzvZV4LHy Siga-nos no Instagram: http://instagram.com/familiadosquecreem Curta-nos no Facebook: http://facebook.com/familiadosquecreem Siga-nos no Twitter: http://twitter.com/familiadqc

Hope for Right Now Podcast – Encore Episode 4: He Satisfies the Deeper Longing There's an old Latin proverb that says, “Repetition is the mother of learning.” With that in mind, we are revisiting four of your favorite Hope for Right Now podcast episodes. Our prayer is that you would take some time to look back, and reflect on the ways you've grown in your relationship with God. We will return on February 23, 2026, with a new series based on our brand new Lenten devotional, Desert Bloom: Discovering Unexpected Joy in the Wilderness. Today's last encore episode is a real throw back—all the way back to episode 1! This top fan favorite is the first conversation on our podcast. The series is Encountering Jesus Personally, and the episode is He Satisfies the Deeper Longing. We all hunger, but quick solutions and overnight fixes are not going to help or satisfy. The remedy we need, the only One who satisfies, is Jesus, the Bread of Life. Truly, this is a conversation that will never grow old.  This is a special Encore Episode originally released in January 2024. In this week's episode, Lisa and Laura dive into the Gospel of John, focusing on the famous I AM statement, “I am the bread of life.” Each time we find Jesus saying, “I am,” He is giving us a glimpse into what He's like. He's revealing something about His character. If you're struggling to find purpose and meaning or are weary from disappointment or heartache, listen and be encouraged as Lisa and Laura unpack today's Scripture and apply it to our daily lives. Open your Heart to our key Scripture.  John 6:35: Jesus said to them, “I am the bread of life; he who comes to me shall not hunger, and he who believes in me shall never thirst.” Open your Bible to other Scriptures referenced in this episode. Exodus 3:14: God said to Moses, “I am who I am.” John 6:15: Perceiving then that they were about to come and take him by force to make him king, Jesus withdrew again to the hills by himself. John 6:26–27: And when Jesus encountered the crowd He said, “Truly, truly, I say to you, you seek me, not because you saw signs, but because you ate your fill of the loaves. Do not labor for the food which perishes, but for the food which endures to eternal life, which the Son of man will give to you.” John 6:48–51: He said, “I am the bread of life. Your fathers ate the manna in the wilderness, and they died. This is the bread which comes down from heaven, that a man may eat of it and not die. I am the living bread which came down from heaven; if anyone eats of this bread he will live for ever, and the bread which I shall give for the life of the world is my flesh.” John 6:52–56: The Jews then disputed among themselves, saying, “How can this man give us his flesh to eat?” So Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of man and drink his blood, you have no life in you; he who eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day. For my flesh is food indeed, and my blood is drink indeed. He who eats my flesh and drinks my blood abides in me, and I in him.” Invite Him in with this episode's questions for reflection.

Episode #486: Daniel M. Stuart, a Buddhist studies scholar and vipassana practitioner, rejoins the podcast to describe his growing interest in Dr. Leon Edward Wright, a Black Christian theologian whose brief but potent connection with Burmese meditation master U Ba Khin has been nearly erased from histories of modern Buddhism and mindfulness. Stuart uses Wright's story to illuminate a world where meditation, anti-colonial politics, ritual therapeutics, and visionary experience intertwined—far from the later scientific and universalist framing of the Goenka lineage. He situates Wright within Asia's anti-colonial landscape, where independence movements fostered solidarity across communities. These movements influenced Black intellectuals in the United States, and Wright, already thinking about race, empire, and religion, saw global traditions as resources for liberation. Part of his time to Burma thus appears as part of a broader search for tools to support oppressed communities. Stuart highlights how Wright's experiences fit within Burmese cosmology shaped by Ledi Sayadaw, in which modern medicine coexisted with protective chanting and ritual healing. U Ba Khin adapted this framework, diagnosing afflictions through elemental imbalances and energetic blockages. Wright's visionary experiences—light, fire, a hand offering a yellow rose—made sense to him through Christian symbolism, and Stuart notes that “it's not at all surprising if he had some of those experiences, that he would interpret them through the lens of his own tradition.” In contrast, Goenka leans publicly on a secular presentation, but his lineage emerged from a lineage whose earlier layers were steeped in an esoteric cosmology. Ledi framed meditation, healing, and protection within a universe populated by unseen beings, karmically charged diseases, elemental obstructions, and the ritual power of chanting—what he called methods for “warding off” afflictions. U Ba Khin adapted that worldview into a system that treated ailments through energetic diagnoses in addition to teaching meditation. Goenka, however, reframed phenomena once explained through cosmological forces as natural law, and teacher-mediated energetic work was eliminated in favor of promoting the concept of a “non-sectarian” technique. Yet the tradition's underlying course structure—chanting, the teacher's position, the atmosphere of protection—still reflects its origins. For Stuart, Wright exemplifies cross-racial and cross-religious solidarity: a Black diplomat and cultural attaché in newly independent Burma bringing meditation back to Black communities in the U.S. He concludes that “I do think he's an important figure that deserves more attention,” not only for his own story but for what it reveals about the complex origins of modern mindfulness.

The God Centered Concept is designed to bring real discipleship and spreading the Gospel to help spark the Great Harvest, a revival in this generation.www.godcenteredconcept.comKingdom Cross Roads Podcast is a part of The God Centered Concept.Introduction: In a world filled with distractions and spiritual apathy, the message from Revelation chapter 3 is more relevant than ever. TS Wright dives into the profound teachings found in this scripture, urging listeners to awaken their spirits and genuinely connect with God's purpose. This blog post explores key insights from the podcast transcript, providing a roadmap for revitalizing faith and understanding the role of the church in today's society.Understanding the Seven Spirits of God: TS Wright begins by discussing the significance of the seven spirits of God, referencing Isaiah 11:2-3. He emphasizes that these spirits represent different aspects of God's nature—His foundational, moral, and relational attributes. By understanding these characteristics, believers can better grasp the essence of God's presence in their lives. For instance, God is depicted as a spirit of wisdom, understanding, and counsel, which can guide us in our daily decisions.The Symbolism of the Seven Stars: Moving deeper into Revelation, Wright explains the meaning behind the seven stars mentioned in the text. He clarifies that these stars represent the angels of the seven churches, signifying a divine oversight and connection between heaven and the church on earth. This imagery serves to remind us that each church has a unique role and responsibility, and that divine authority rests in the hands of Jesus, who oversees these spiritual leaders. The Church in Sardis: Focusing on the church in Sardis, Wright highlights a grave warning: despite having a reputation for being alive, the church was spiritually dead. This stark reality prompts a call to action for believers to wake up, strengthen their faith, and align their deeds with God's will. The message urges individuals to reflect on their spiritual condition, emphasizing the necessity of repentance and genuine transformation. Wright suggests that recognizing our spiritual shortcomings is the first step toward renewal.The Importance of Repentance: Throughout the discussion, the theme of repentance resurfaces as a critical element for spiritual revival. Wright points out that acknowledging one's sins and turning from them is not just a one-time act but a continuous journey. He stresses that repentance is vital for maintaining a vibrant relationship with God, encouraging listeners to embrace this practice as a way to grow closer to Him.Conclusion: In conclusion, TS Wright's insights from Revelation challenge us to evaluate our spiritual vitality and the role of the church in our lives. By understanding the nature of God, the significance of the angels overseeing our churches, and the importance of repentance, we can awaken our spirits and live out our faith authentically. Key takeaways include the necessity of recognizing spiritual deadness, the call to genuine repentance, and the understanding that our lives are part of a larger narrative centered on Jesus Christ.Tags for SEO: Revelation, Church, Spiritual Awakening, Repentance, Faith, TS Wright, Seven Spirits of God, Spiritual Growth, Christian Living, Biblical Teachings, Church Leadership.

What Peter, James, and John saw in the Transfiguration of Christ was prophetically anticipated in what Moses saw in the Burning Bush.

Nooo, we didn't forget. around this time last year, we reviewed 1987's Arnold Schwarzenegger starring film The Running Man. We knew there was a remake coming down the block, but we put it off for reasons we get into on the podcast. When director Edgar Wright was asked a question on Twitter about what movie he wanted to remake, he did not hesitate in answering The Running Man. Producer Simon Kinberg (the X-Men franchise) saw the tweet and got this production going. Wright, with original author Stephen King's approval, wrote up a script with his longtime collaborator Michael Bacall, and cast actor of the moment Glen Powell (Top Gun Maverick) in the Ah-nold role. Was the wait worth it? Join Garrett, Matt, and Adam as they review their very first Edgar Wright film. Did he do the book justice? Is this up to Edgar Wright's standards? Is King's presence felt? They answer all these, and so much more, in this special release! Come back next week when the boys start up their look at the Scream franchise.

In this episode I share an audio recording from the MMIP Conference held in Sacramento, California on February 3.This conversation features Florence Wright, the mother of James “Little Man” Wright, and his Aunt Ginger, as they speak about James's life, his disappearance, and the nearly four decades of unanswered questions their family continues to live with.James “Little Man” Wright was an enrolled member of the Pit River Tribe. Born on August 2, 1969, he was raised in Redding, California. On or around November 23, 1988, at just 19 years old, James left a family member's home to ride his bicycle to a nearby store and he never returned. His case remains open and unresolved.In her own words, Florence shares the pain of a mother who never stopped searching, the challenges of navigating law enforcement in an unresolved case, and the importance of MMIP advocacy in keeping Indigenous lives from being forgotten.This episode is shared to honor James Wright, uplift his family's voice, and remind listeners that missing Indigenous people are not statistics, they are loved, and they matter.

Welcome to the Be It Till You See It podcast where we talk about taking messy action, knowing that perfect is boring. I'm Lesley Logan, Pilates instructor and fitness business coach. I've trained thousands of people around the world and the number one thing I see stopping people from achieving anything is self-doubt. My friends, action brings clarity and it's the antidote to fear. Each week, my guest will bring bold, executable, intrinsic and targeted steps that you can use to put yourself first and Be It Till You See It. It's a practice, not a perfect. Let's get started. Lesley Logan 0:43  Hello, Be It babe. How are you? Oh my gosh. It is February. It is the day before a holiday that even if you think it's a Hallmark holiday, maybe some of you don't even know what a hallmark is anymore, but even if you think it's like a made up holiday, I do think it's the best time to tell all the people that you don't tell you love all the time, that you love them, you know. And also, on this day, you realize how great pink and red look together. I mean, they look so good together, right? So these are episodes where you do some inspiration stuff. We talk a little bit about the things that you're kicking ass at. You get a mantra to get on with your weekend. Super fast, super easy. Hopefully you find these fun, let me know. You can also send your wins in for me to shout you out on a Friday's FYF episode, to beitpod.com/questions so you can leave questions or you can leave wins. Super fine. We answer questions on Thursday's episodes. Lesley Logan 1:32  So this inspired me. So Sabrina Gonzalez Pasterski, at 14 she built an airplane in her garage. 14 years old, built an airplane. Okay, pretty amazing. At 16, she flew it. At 21 she graduated MIT with a perfect 5.0 GPA. Now she's solving mysteries that stumped Einstein. Stephen Hawking cited her in research before he died. Jeff Bezos tried to recruit her, and she said no. So we'll put the link to this whole story in the notes. And also, after I read this, I discovered that the Wright brothers had a sister who kicked some ass and they wouldn't be where they were without her. So just kind of amazing what women have done in that space. So essentially, she built this plane, then she learned how to fly it, then she applied to MIT, and they're like, you're not good enough. And so then she actually sent them a video of her flying her plane that she built, and she just did some incredible stuff in her time there. And also now she's studying really amazing theories and quantum gravity with, like, where, like, what about small things and gravity, and what about black holes and where do things end, and she's just, like, solving problems that, like, these people who are super famous for trying to have ever done. So really, really cool. Thank you, Sabrina for inspiring us all. And I just want to say, like, want to shout out, like the door was shut on her. She was told like you're not enough, and she didn't believe them. And I think that that's super important. I think all of us need reminders that just because someone says no doesn't mean that it's a no and that you're not enough. It sometimes means that you need to knock again and go, hold on, let me show you again, or it means you need to knock on a different door, but if you really believe in who you are and what you do, that is all you need. And I think it's really easy for us to look for external validation. Of course, we want external validation, but you got to have the internal stuff too, so you can fight for yourself when you need to. So way to go, Sabrina. Lesley Logan 2:18  All right, so your win is from eLevate grad from 5.0 and she also was on my retreat the year before in Cambodia. So she said last year, that was in 2024, I went on Lesley's retreat to Cambodia. During one of the workshops, it hit me how miserable I was. I was teaching at a company almost an hour away, teaching five plus days a week as a lead instructor and master trainer. I had no time for myself, and was lucky if I got Pilates in more than once a week. When I returned from Cambodia, stepped down as a lead instructor and gave up all of my shifts except one. This is the first step in making big changes. As I wrote in eLevate just after a few months after returning from Cambodia, once I started eLevate, I realized that I no longer believed in that company's Pilates training that I've been thinking about it for a while, and no longer wanted to teach it. I notified the corporate that I would not be returning as a trainer for them in the following year, but I needed to finish out my current class. I also started making time for me again. I was practicing Pilates regularly during this past year, I started working at two boutique studios, which are much closer to home. One is a classical studio. I've been building my classes and privates there. There's so much more freedom at both studios, and I can teach the way I want, with no rules. My current class of trainees has one week of training left, and I will be free of that commitment shortly. So congratulations, you're free. Yesterday, I gave my notice I'd be leaving this company completely in January. So we're one month out, way to go, and we'll be giving up that one last shift if I feel an incredible weight has been lifted and I'm ready to start the next chapter in 2026 I'm grateful to Lesley for opening my eyes and to the fact that I don't have to settle and don't need to work for a corporation that I don't believe in. I'm excited to see what 2026 brings, if you're still reading, thank you. I know this is long. Laura, this one is amazing. And also shout out to all the changes you've made. I'm so glad you came to Cambodia, because I think eLevate would have been a different experience had you not had that realization the months prior. And you guys can all come to Cambodia and have that experience that Laura has had. A lot of people have that, and we've had people come back multiple times, because it's kind of a nice little milestone to reflect on. So anyways, I just want to say, like, we all do this, right? We all get into a position that we believe in and we loved, and then over time, it no longer fits. Like a pair of jeans that you bought, they no longer fit. But then you're like, oh, but I've had these jeans forever, or these jeans cost so much, or, you know, like, maybe these jeans will fit again. And we try to convince ourselves to, like, stay fitting those jeans, instead of just going, you know, I could just buy a more comfortable pair of jeans, or I could just go seek out, or I could try something new on. And I'm just so I'm so fucking stoked for you. Laura. So yes, this one is long, but I love it, and I think many people will resonate with the win. There's so many wins in here, each milestone in there of you taking back more of your time and putting yourself out there to be in a new space. You know, those are humongous wins. So shout out to everyone who you know turned something down this week or let go of something this week. Those are wins. Lesley Logan 2:31  All right, so now for a win of mine. This is going to sound hilarious, but I think it's important to see that there's wins in everything. I started a commitment on Q4 of last year that I was going to learn how to, like, just blow dry my hair. I have a lot of hair. I definitely screwed up along the way as my hair grew out. I didn't like, learn how to keep up with that, and then it just got really long. And I like it really long, but I like pretty much it only looks good the day after I see my hairdresser, and then it doesn't do anything at all. And I was I told my hairdresser, I think it's time I learned how to use a blow dryer. And I'm not gonna say I'm great at it. And by the time you're hearing this, I probably have only out of the four months I've been trying, I don't blow dry my own hair one week of those four months because I get my hair done. So we're only at like, 12 attempts, but it's really fun to be a beginner at something and try something new and and even if it just gets my hair dry, you know in the winter that that's great too. So so I don't have to become a professional blow dryer person, but I definitely can get good-ish at blow drying my own hair, and that's my win. So see, wins can be a lot of amazing, easy things. Imagine you're probably like Lesley, I had that win when I was 12. Great. Did you celebrate it? Did you? Lesley Logan 2:39  All right, so your mantra for the weekend is, my future is bright. My future is bright. My future is bright. Yes, your future certainly is. You're amazing. Thank you so much. We have an interview for on Tuesday, a recap on Thursday, and another FYF on Friday. So send your wins is so I could shout you out. Have an amazing day, and happy, I guess, Galentines, how can I say, be it day, be it, be in times day. There you go. All right, go Be It Till You See It. Lesley Logan 7:41  That's all I got for this episode of the Be It Till You See It Podcast.

As we approach the end of our season highlighting alumni from the University and the impact that the David Eccles School of Business has had on their lives and careers, we welcome back guest-host Annesley Womble, who talks with Dalton Wright, General Partner at Kickstart, a seed-stage venture capital firm with offices in Salt Lake City and Denver.Dalton shares his unique career journey, which began with his involvement in the University Venture Fund and progressed to significant roles in venture capital, including helping to develop Utah's first seed fund through Kickstart. He also discusses his non-linear career path, which included launching a startup and strategically working in venture capital in Mexico.The University of Utah played a critical role in supporting Kickstart during its early formation, providing guidance and infrastructure as the company navigated the challenges of launching a startup. Kickstart's initial investment meetings were held at the University of Utah Technology Transfer Office, and the University was instrumental in the firm's successful launch. Dalton also helped develop the Campus Founders Fund, a student-run investment fund established after his return to Utah. Today, the fund has invested in more than 30 student startups, including one that now generates several hundred million dollars in annual revenue. This University of Utah initiative has helped launch the careers of many students into the venture capital industry.Dalton emphasizes the importance of embracing change, redefining risk, and maintaining curiosity amid the evolving technological landscape. This episode is filled with insights on entrepreneurship, venture capital, and the value of pursuing passion over a linear career path.Eccles Business Buzz is a production of the David Eccles School of Business and is produced by University.fm.Eccles Business Buzz is proud to be selected by FeedSpot as one of the Top 70 Business School podcasts on the web. Learn more at https://podcast.feedspot.com/us_business_school_podcasts. Episode Quotes:Why the best career opportunities often look uncertain at first[10:31] When Kickstart was launching, I saw that as my opportunity to learn seed-stage venture capital with somebody who was the founder, the entrepreneur in that category. And so I was lucky enough to get the job as the first hire with the fund. We had $4 million under management at the time. This is the 2008 Great Recession. So I can empathize with any cohort of students who's graduating and wondering, like, is the world going to change forever? And will there ever be employment opportunities for me again? You know, nobody wanted to fund our fund. People saw it as like a community service project support entrepreneurs, but nobody was looking at it as these guys are going to go build like a franchise venture capital fund. But, you know, most good things look like that in the beginning. They're not yet exciting, they're not yet successful, and you have to be able to suspend what you see in the present moment and imagine what this thing can become in the future.Getting comfortable with fear and risk can help you explore a non-linear career path[11:57] There's one point right after graduating from college where my peers were all pursuing the linear path, and I'm not in any way saying, "Oh, like, they made the wrong choice," because, like, I mean, so many people have different preferences, values, things that they're trying to optimize for. So I never am trying to, like, say, "But my way is like, let me give someone else advice," because my way was my way, and it might not work for somebody else who even wants the same thing, let alone something entirely different. So I decided very early on that I was going to condition myself to feel comfortable with my fears and feel comfortable with the risks that I was taking. And so I think reframing what a risk is is really important if you want to take the nonlinear path.On why knowing your “why” matters more than money when building a startup[35:16] I've encouraged students to really think about the why behind what they're doing. And if it's to make money, a lot of money, it's like you can use that as a motivator, but there's also a lot of maybe easier ways or better ways, faster ways to have that need met. And so when you're grinding it out and you're not making money as a founder, and all of a sudden it's like, Hey, you can go take the consulting job and immediately have like a nice salary. Or you could potentially go get that, what causes you to say, Why would I ever consider that? And so I think if you know why you're building the thing and it's like truly rooted in the problem that you're trying to solve, the customers that you're serving, the change that you want to make in the world, if it's rooted in that, then you can lean on that through the down times to inspire you through that.Show Links:Dalton Wright | LinkedInProfile | Kickstart FundDavid Eccles School of Business (@ubusiness) | InstagramUndergraduate Scholars ProgramsRising Business LeadersEccles Alumni Network (@ecclesalumni) | Instagram Eccles Experience Magazine

In this blog post, we delve into a recent podcast episode featuring Tessa Dunn, a passionate author who shares her journey of faith and the inspiration behind her children's book. With insights that resonate deeply, Tessa invites us to consider the power of prayer and the messages we impart to the next generation.Main Content:1. **Tessa Dunn's Journey of Faith** Tessa Dunn's story begins in a nurturing Christian home, filled with the warmth of the Holy Spirit. Growing up, she was captivated by the church choir, often mistaking their angelic voices for those of heavenly beings. Her early experiences planted the seeds for a lifelong fascination with angels and the divine. Tessa's journey continued as she married a fellow believer, and together they raised three children who walk in faith. Her family discussions reflect the complexities of contemporary life, igniting her desire to share the importance of prayer and belief in the unseen.2. **The Inspiration Behind the Book** Tessa's venture into children's literature began when a friend encouraged her to write after sharing her own storybook. With encouragement from her husband and friends, Tessa felt inspired to put her own story into words. Central to her narrative is an encounter she had as a child with Mother Alexandra, a nun who had a remarkable past as a princess in Romania. This meeting left an indelible mark on Tessa, shaping her understanding of faith and the significance of nurturing children's minds with positive messages from an early age.3. **The Role of Angels in Faith** Diving deeper into the theme of angels, Tessa and host T.S. Wright discuss the biblical references that highlight the presence of angels throughout scripture. Tessa notes that angels are mentioned 179 times in the New Testament and 111 times in the Old Testament, emphasizing their importance in the divine narrative. She explains the nine choirs of angels, from guardian angels assigned to individuals to archangels like Michael and Gabriel, who play pivotal roles in biblical stories.4. **The Importance of Nurturing Faith in Children** Tessa passionately advocates for instilling strong values and faith in children. She recognizes that the quality of children's literature today often lacks the depth and truth that was prevalent in the past. Her book aims to blend the charm of classic fairy tales with profound truths about faith, prayer, and the unseen world.

What if Christianity was never meant to be about escaping earth for heaven, but about God coming home to the world? In this episode, I sit down with N. T. Wright for a wide-ranging conversation that reclaims the Bible's larger story: heaven and earth meant to overlap, God dwelling with humanity, and new creation beginning now. We explore temples and tabernacles, resurrection and judgment, what it truly means to be human, and how the church is called to reflect God's presence in a fractured world. Drawing from Wright's latest book God's Homecoming, this conversation invites youto rethink faith, hope, justice, and the future of the world and to rediscover a gospel that is far bigger, richer, and more grounded than we thought.N. T. Wright is the former Bishop of Durham in the Church of England and one of the world's leading Bible scholars. He is Senior Research Fellow at Wycliffe Hall, Oxford University, and Senior Editor at Saint Andrews. He has been featured on ABC News, Dateline, The Colbert Report, and NPR's Fresh Air.

The God Centered Concept is designed to bring real discipleship and spreading the Gospel to help spark the Great Harvest, a revival in this generation.www.godcenteredconcept.comKingdom Cross Roads Podcast is a part of The God Centered Concept.Title: Embracing Spiritual Ownership: A Path to Revival in 2026Introduction: As we step into the new year of 2026, many of us are eager to explore how we can deepen our faith and engage more meaningfully with our communities. In a recent episode of the Kingdom Crossroads podcast, host T.S. Wright and Pastor Phil Tague shared invaluable insights on fostering a culture of spiritual ownership within the church, aiming for revival that starts from the grassroots level.Main Content:1. **The Vision for 2026** Pastor Phil emphasizes that while the mission of the church remains unchanged, the vision can evolve. In 2026, his church is aiming to see 5,000 individuals set free in Christ over the next five years. This goal isn't merely about numbers; it's about fostering genuine spiritual transformation. Phil believes we are in a pre-revival era, particularly among younger generations, and that it is crucial for church members to take responsibility for their faith and the spaces they occupy.2. **The Call for Spiritual Responsibility** One of the key themes discussed is the need for laypeople to embrace their role as spiritual leaders in their communities. Phil stresses that revival will not stem from charismatic preachers alone but from everyday believers taking ownership of their faith. He notes that every member of the church is a priest in their own right, and they must recognize their power to influence those around them. T.S. Wright echoes this sentiment, emphasizing the importance of getting church members to take the message outside the church walls and into their daily lives.3. **Practical Steps for Implementation** Pastor Phil shares practical steps his church is taking to implement this vision. They have focused on preparing their staff and congregation for the upcoming changes by instilling the concept of spiritual ownership. This preparation includes prayer meetings and discussions on the importance of discipleship. Phil highlights the significance of creating an invite culture within the church, where members are encouraged to bring friends and family to events and services, fostering a community of growth.4. **Creating Conditions for Growth** Throughout the conversation, a metaphor emerges: the gardener's role in preparing the field for growth. Phil reminds listeners that while we can't control the harvest, we can prepare the conditions for it. He references the biblical story of Elisha and the widow, illustrating that the miracle of revival happens when believers prepare their hearts and communities for God's work. The responsibility lies in creating an environment ripe for growth, where spiritual hunger can flourish.5. **The Importance of Prayer and Meditation** The discussion also touches on the power of prayer and meditation on God's Word. Both T.S. and Phil advocate for the practice of praying for guidance and opportunities to share faith with others. By asking God to place someone in their path to reach, believers can align their hearts with God's will and actively engage in their communities.Conclusion: As we...

In this blog post, we will delve into the lessons derived from Revelation 2:18-29, exploring the warnings and encouragements directed at this early church and how they apply to our lives today.Main Content:1. **The Image of Christ** The passage opens with a powerful description of Jesus as the Son of God, whose eyes are like blazing fire and whose feet are like polished bronze. This imagery conveys authority and judgment, reminding us that Jesus is not only our savior but also a figure of immense power who sees and knows all. This establishes a foundation for understanding the message to the church in Thyatira.2. **Commendation for Good Works** Jesus acknowledges the congregation's deeds, love, faith, service, and perseverance, stating that their latter works exceed their first. This commendation emphasizes the importance of growth in our faith and actions. Thyatira was praised for its commitment to the gospel and its ability to withstand challenges while actively demonstrating love and service to others. This serves as an encouragement for us to continually strive to deepen our faith and increase our good works.3. **A Serious Warning** Despite the positive remarks, Jesus delivers a stern warning against the tolerance of a false prophetess named Jezebel. Her teachings led many astray into sexual immorality and idolatry. This aspect of the message highlights the dangers of complacency and the acceptance of moral compromises within the church. It serves as a crucial reminder for modern believers to remain vigilant against influences that contradict biblical teachings.4. **The Challenge of Cultural Compromise** The church faced the challenge of pluralism, where the teachings of Christ were mingled with societal norms that contradicted the gospel. This is akin to many contemporary issues where believers may unintentionally adopt values that are contrary to their faith. Jesus calls His followers to reject such compromises, urging a commitment to purity and holiness in their walk with Him.5. **The Call to Repentance** Jesus expresses His desire for Jezebel to repent, highlighting His patience and mercy. However, the refusal to turn away from sin leads to dire consequences. This aspect of the message serves as a sobering reminder of the importance of repentance in our own lives. It challenges us to reflect on areas where we may be compromising and to seek a return to a pure and devoted relationship with God.Conclusion: In summary, the message to the Church in Thyatira offers timeless lessons about faithfulness, the importance of good works, the dangers of cultural compromise, and the necessity of repentance. As we reflect on these teachings, let us strive to be a community that embodies love and service while remaining steadfast in our commitment to the truth of the gospel. Key...
