Preparing His Bride | May 24, 2025 As a believer, you have been designed by God to live as an overcomer, not as a victim of circumstances. This overcoming life isn't optional—it's your spiritual DNA and divine calling. Understanding this truth will transform how you approach every challenge you face. Your journey involves conquering several distinct categories of opposition. First, you must overcome sins of the flesh—fornication, lying, stealing, strife, and immoral behavior. These obvious sins can disqualify you from God's kingdom if practiced habitually. But beyond these visible sins, you must also conquer sins of the heart: hatred, murmuring, and hidden resentments that you might camouflage from others but cannot hide from God. Perhaps most challenging is overcoming your personal disobedience to God's specific instructions for your life. These aren't grand biblical commandments, but daily, seemingly small directions from the Holy Spirit: visit someone, give financially to a specific person, spend extra time in prayer, or simply stay home and seek God. Your obedience to these "little" instructions determines whether you'll hear God's voice for bigger assignments. You must also overcome self—particularly vain glory, the desire for human approval and recognition. This subtle sin causes you to structure your actions around gaining applause from people rather than approval from God. Additionally, you're called to overcome trials and tribulations, whether they're daily irritations that test your patience or major persecution that comes because you follow Christ. Finally, you must overcome sickness and death in your physical body, and the snares of this world that would entangle you in ungodly systems and compromise. God hasn't left you defenseless in these battles. The moment you became born again, Christ took residence in your spirit, and the Holy Spirit became your guide. This means the overcoming nature is already within you—you possess the spiritual authority and power needed for victory. However, having this equipment and knowing how to use it are different matters. Your spiritual maturity requires intentional training, just as becoming a medical doctor requires years of study and practice. God wants to raise you from a spiritual child (technon) to a mature son (huios)—someone who can discern and do the Father's will. This training comes through daily disciplines that many believers resist or neglect. You must build yourself up through prayer in the Holy Spirit, allowing this supernatural language to strengthen your inner man. Study God's word not just for knowledge, but to understand His character, judgments, and ways. Learn to recognize His voice above the competing voices of your soul and the enemy. Most importantly, submit to the Spirit's leading in seemingly insignificant daily matters. When He prompts you to help someone, visit someone, or sacrifice something, your obedience in these small things trains your spiritual ear for larger assignments. Disobedience in minor areas will eventually cut off your ability to hear God's voice entirely. God needs mature believers who can be led by His Spirit to accomplish His work on earth. Many Christians never enter the first phase of their true ministry because they remain too busy for genuine fellowship with God, mistaking their own thoughts for His voice, or prioritizing their comfort over His training. Live each day expecting God to train you. When trials come, ask not "Why me?" but "What are you teaching me?" When you face daily irritations—difficult people, frustrating situations, inconvenient demands—see these as opportunities to demonstrate Christ's character. Submit your schedule, your finances, your relationships, and your ambitions to the Holy Spirit's direction. Don't argue with God or negotiate His instructions. Like Moses waiting on the mountain for God to appear, develop the patience to wait for divine timing rather than rushing ahead with your own plans. Remember that you overcome by the blood of Jesus Christ. This isn't just a spiritual concept—it's a practical weapon. Declare this victory over every area where you're being challenged, knowing that Christ's sacrifice has already secured your triumph. The overcoming life isn't achieved through human willpower but through intimate partnership with the Holy Spirit. Yield to His training, trust His process, and watch as He transforms you into the mature believer who can fulfill the assignment for which you were created. This is not just your calling—it's your inheritance. Step into it with confidence, knowing that the same Spirit who raised Christ from the dead dwells in you and will empower your complete victory.

On the eastern edge of the Sahara Desert, researchers found a mysterious stone circle. It's kind of like Africa's version of Stonehenge, but possibly even older. This thing might be a message from before written language even existed. We're talking about people who used stones to track the stars and mark time thousands of years ago. It shows just how advanced ancient humans really were, even in one of the harshest places on Earth. If you're into ancient mysteries and mind-blowing discoveries, you've got to hear this story!

Today's episode- you don't want to miss! Day 20 of the 15/5 Challenge brings us to the importance of God's Written Word! "For I delivered to you first of all that which I also received: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, and that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day according to the Scriptures." 1 Corinthians 15:3-4 (NKJV)

Every version or tradition of the Christian Faith offers an objective or corporealized dimension within a person's (longed for) relationship with God. For Roman Catholicism, it is the Real Presence of the Lord within the Elements of Bread and Wine. For pentecostalism, it is the embodied Gifts of the Spirit in miracles of healing and divine intervention, and often an accompanying gift of speaking in tongues. For many Protestants, it is the Written Word of the Bible -- the actual and specific words as dictated by God Himself. Personally, I like all of these 'doors' to experiencing God. During Covid I almost switched to Catholicism because only the Catholic parish where we lived at the time kept its doors open. So I could go there every day and pray. Earlier I had sort of already become a pentecostal Christian, partly because of a vision I received during a sermon preached by a pentecostal pastor. And I have always loved -- treasured! -- the Old and New Testaments as the continuing Word of God to one's hungry heart. Then, too, I have on three occasions seen dead people. Three times I have interacted with people I had known who were now dead. Each time I was being addressed by individuals who were speaking to me from God's Heaven. So Pixie Dust. Like in the Disney Peter Pan, animated - classic - perfect: Pixie Dust. We need Pixie Dust. As Ringo sang in "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band": 'I Get By with a Little Help from my (Pixie Dust)'. It's not an optional extra. It's essential. LUV U.

Three Angsty Poets gathered, initially chatting about poetry, but the chatting turned to ranting. The ranting turned to rage. The music industry bubbled to the surface, and, like most artists, they found themselves back in time—big hair, punked and metaled, and singing lyrics they'd buried long ago. This episode brings their discussion to My Angst on Music and the Written Word.

From the Men's Breakfast series: This Book We Call The Bible.How God Reveals Himself in the Written Word(handout here)

It appears to me that the main purpose of Luke sharing this experience of the disciples in the boat with Jesus going to the other side is to show us how that Jesus was teaching His disciples to live by faith. If they were going to going to obey His command to go into all the world and “disciple all the nations” (Matthew 28:19), they would need a great faith! And my friend, the same is true for us today!   The source and object of their faith, Jesus, was in the boat with them all along! Did you notice that the storm with the terrible wind and waves had brought great fear upon the disciples! They thought sure they were going to perish! But when Jesus calmed the wind and waves, and He asked them the question, “Where is your faith?”, we read, “And they were afraid, and marveled, saying to one another, “Who can this be”. I believe they were overwhelmed with the fact that they were in the presence of the Omnipotent God and they were afraid!   Think about it! The very God Who spoke the universe into existence, Who created the heavens and the earth, Who spoke and there was light, Who spoke and there was animals, Who spoke and there was plant life, Who spoke and breathe into a hunk of clay and there was a man, the Great I Am, was the same voice that the disciples heard in the boat that day! “And they were afraid” and they said, “Who can this be”. I'm not sure they fully understood who Jesus really was until after His death, burial and resurrection and the Holy Spirit came upon them fully opening their eyes to the deity of Jesus Christ! But after that they were willing to go into all the world sharing His message and die for Him.   They were leaning that they needed the “look of faith”. “Looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith”. (Hebrews 12:2). “By faith, Moses saw Him who was invisible” (Hebrews 11:27). That they needed the “walk of faith”. “For we walk by faith, not by sight” (2 Corinthians 5:7). That they needed the “work of faith”. “By faith Noah built an ark…” (Hebrews 11:7). “Without works, faith is dead” (James 2:26). This would produce a “life of faith” that would change the world! (2 Corinthians 4:16- 18).   Jesus might be asking you today, “Where is your faith?” We need to remember that, “Faith comes by hearing and hearing from the Word of God” (Romans 10:17). I'm convinced that the Lord primarily uses two things to build and increase our faith. Learning Who Jesus, the Word, really is by hearing, reading, studying, and mediating on the Written Word, the Bible. Then God uses the storms and the trials of life to expose and reveal to us what kind of faith we really have. These will drive us to “wake up” Jesus in our lives and find Him in His Word. These storms will motivate us to spend time every day with Jesus in His Word.   As we are coming to the close of an old year and preparing for the new year, I want to challenge you to “increase your faith” by determining, by God's grace, to read through your whole Bible from Genesis 1:1 to Revelation 22:21 in a systematic and consistent way! Jesus said that man does not live by bread alone, but by “every Word that proceeds from the mouth of God”   “Every Word, All Scripture, which means every Word in our Bible is needed for us to grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ and to increase our faith! To help and assist you in fulfilling this challenge to read though your entire Bible in 2025, we have prepared a Bible reading calendar plan that is posted to our website each month.   We have posted two plans. Plan B will take you through the entire Bible once and only take 10 plus minutes a day: https://www.pmiministries.org/bible-reading-calendar-plan-b Plan A will take you through the Old Testament once and the New Testament twice and take about 15 plus minutes a day: https://www.pmiministries.org/daily-bible-reading-calendar These can be downloaded and printed for your convenience!   Where will your faith be next year? It is up to you!   God bless!

That Your Joy May Be Full Pt. 4 "Joy In the Written Word" | Jeremy Pearsons by Jeremy & Sarah Pearsons

 Is doctrine important? In this message, Pastor Eric Robertson tells us how the Bible helps us know how what to think about God.  We are thinkers by nature. We are curious by nature. Have you ever looked up at the stars at night and wondered how in the world they got there? Proverbs 25: 2  It is God's privilege to conceal things and the king's privilege to discover them. Our beliefs shape our actions, and our doctrine determines our direction. Doctrine gives us the proper glasses to view the world and ourselves. Doctrine gives us answers to the questions of our hearts and allows us to live out those truths. What is Doctrine? Doctrine Informs ·       The word doctrine comes from the Latin phrase "doctrina" which means teaching and instruction. Doctrine is the teaching of scriptures that provide a framework for us to grow in our knowledge of God and spiritual maturity. ·       You should want to grow in your knowledge of God! ·       1 Peter 3:18 "But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and forever! Amen." ·       2 Timothy 3:16  tells us that the Bible is God's inspired Word that is good for teaching ·       Doctrine isn't the end, it is the means to the end. The end goal is to know Jesus. Doctrine Transforms ·       The purpose of doctrine is transformation not just information. ·       Isaiah 55: 11-13 ·       Good doctrine bears good fruit. Bad doctrine bears bad fruit. No doctrine bears no fruit. Prioritizing Doctrines ·       Doctrinal differences have caused a lot of division throughout church history. Usually, the disagreements are about non-essential issues. This is a core belief of VFC: if someone professes Jesus as the Son of God and the only way to salvation, we consider them a member of Christ's family and a brother or sister of ours. ·       Love is prioritized over belief. Belong, Believe, Become. ·       1 Corinthians 8: 1-3  Building Your House ·       For me, reading the Bible for doctrine is a lot like building a house. There are 4 essential things that every house needs. 1.      Foundation: Matthew 7: 24-27 24 2.      Walls: Our theology must make us distinct from the world. You can't help the world if you believe like the world. We live in a culture that is searching for identity by destroying boundaries. Boundaries define who you are and what is yours. Romans 12: 2 3.      Roof: A roof protects us from the elements, and good doctrine protects us from harmful beliefs and behaviors. Galatians 1: 6-7 4.      Door: The door to our theological house is always Jesus. John 14: 6     Where do you get the materials? The Bible! The Bible is our home center. The Bible provides the raw material that we need to build our theological house on a solid foundation. How to Read the Bible for Doctrine: 1.      Question 2.      Scripture 3.      Community 4.      Construction 4.1     (Remodel) Deconstruction to Reconstruction.

The words of the Bible are carefully recorded and preserved so that all of the nations might read that which God has spoken. In this message, Paul begins our conversation about why those words matter and how we are to view them.

Life Under the Apple Tree (Song of Solomon 2:3-14) Introduction I of course don't know when you last read it, heard a talk about it or if you have ever read it or heard a talk about it! So, if you are in that category, it's a new thing for you! In my preparation, as I talked to other Christians about this book, I have found that some people are aghast at some of the very frank and provocative language used! But this should not stop us from reading it, studying it and learning from it. It is, after all, part of the Bible and therefore part of God's Written Word. Jesus Himself and the Disciples would have read this book at Passover time. It is a book that tells of the love of a woman (the Beloved) for a man, the man probably being Solomon. Different translations have different places where the beloved, the lover and others are actually speaking. But for ease of use tonight, we will use the guidelines of the church bibles, the New International Version. The Jews called it the Greatest Song of All Songs. Martin Luther called it the noblest of all songs! It is poetry that is full of love, romance and some say eroticism. Greater than Shakespeare's sonnets if you can believe that! Tonight, we are delving only into Chapter 2. Historically this book has been interpreted in 3 ways Firstly as a treatise on the joys of biblical sexual love; Secondly as an allegory for God's love for His people Israel; These two interpretations have great merit! However, some of you may be sad to know and others very happy to know, that I am going to concentrate principally on a third way that encompasses those two and that is seeing it as a picture of the immense love that exists between Jesus Christ for His church and its people, where the bridegroom is Jesus and His bride is the church. Paul highlights this relationship in his letter to the Ephesians. Before I forget, I should say that I am also aware of another difficulty, and that is that British men and Australian men have one thing in common - we are not very good at saying or doing things to do with love! We find it embarrassing and cumbersome. I don't know about South Africans or other nationalities though! So, hopefully with the help of the Holy Spirit, this may also make us become better men as well as feeding our minds and hearts about the love that exists between Jesus and the church! The Beloved's Portrait of the Lover (Song of Solomon 2:3-6) This is the beloved's portrait of her lover, the bridegroom. He is an apple tree! Wives, have you ever called your husband an apple tree! And of course He is an apple tree, because this lover, this bridegroom provides her with shelter, protection and food. And she enjoys it. Delighting in being strengthened, refreshed and being in love. As he embraces her, she feels his compassion, his warmth, his love for her and his strength. How does that talk of Jesus and his love for the church, His people, His bride? Jesus is the Bread of life Three times in John 6, Jesus refers to Himself as the living bread. By this He meant that He was the only one who could satiate the appetite and yearning of every person's spirit. For those He was speaking to, bread was a basic staple food for living, just as it is for millions of people today. Jesus indicates when saying He is the bread of life, that He will supply all needs! Just as He said to the woman at the well in John 4v4, that whoever drinks His living water shall never again go spiritually thirsty. When Jesus referred to the manna in the desert (John 6v49) he talked of it being merely temporary, despite being a gift from God. He, however, as the true bread of life gives permanent satisfaction and life everlasting to all those who believe and follow Him (John 6v51)! But this bread He offers, has to be eaten; it has to be taken up by the person wanting spiritual life! If you are seeking spiritual nourishment, then ask! Have you eaten of this bread? Jesus is the Good Shepherd. Jesus is the great protector, the great Shepherd. It is through Jesus and Jesus Christ alone, that salvation and spiritual protection and is found and through Him alone as the door or the gate, that people are led safely and soundly into spiritual freedom, spiritual light and spiritual sustenance. Unlike others who come only to steal, kill and destroy, Jesus offers spiritual safety & nourishment. Jesus protects those whom He loves and who loves Him! Jesus does not just offer a way out, but also a way in! The security offered by Jesus is because He is always in close proximity to those who follow Him. Jesus calls all those who follow Him by name (John 10v3) and they know each other. Jesus is the great shepherd only through the sacrifice he must make for His sheep. Here Jesus is looking ahead to the sacrifice He makes on the Cross. The cross is referred to in the New Testament as the tree on which Jesus hung. His protective and nourishing love for all of humanity compels Him to make the ultimate sacrifice of His death on the tree. Just as all shepherds will endanger themselves for the protection and safety of their sheep, so too did Jesus endure the pain and suffering of the Cross, so that people can be led into the eternal safety of God's kingdom. It is in this role of shepherd, that Jesus exhibits true leadership, which is self-less and sacrificial. I saw this week an example of a shepherd protecting his flock. It was up near Crowe and I was driving back from Burley, and there were a flock of sheep on one side of the road and the shepherd on the other. He was on a bicycle and the sheep were looking at him for directions! His sheep knew him and were looking to him and he was protecting them from being run over by a maniac in a green Fiesta! Are you looking to the great shepherd, Jesus Christ for safety, protection and guidance? These are just two examples of Jesus himself saying He protects, nourishes, gives shelter and loves. Many more examples can be found in the Gospels. Just as there is only one lover for this woman, there is only one Saviour for the world. Jesus does not say I am a true vine; a way, a truth and a life. He does not say I am a door to life, just as He does not say I am a shepherd, a door, a light or a bread of life. No - Jesus is the only way, the only truth and the only life. Jesus is the one great shepherd and the only door to life. Jesus is the only light of the world and the only true bread of life. Jesus is the apple tree, and calls everyone to partake of the nourishment and shelter only He can provide. The Beloved Encourages Others about the Lover (Song of Solomon 2:7-9) Read verses 7-9 Here now, the beloved addresses her friends and other people, not be impatient! These women were being persuaded by the beloved not to engage in sexual love until their marriage! Who were they? We don't know! But we do know from the rest of Scripture that sexual love is only for those in a committed monogamous marriage between a man and a woman. Sexual union, between a man and a woman in a committed married relationship, is a picture of the union of God and His people - that's why adultery and sexual immorality is also idolatry. Then the Beloved calls out "Listen! Look" Here he comes! She is expecting him to arrive at any time! The Beloved is waiting for her lover! She has a glimpse of Him but is waiting for His bodily presence with her. Is this not a picture of us, as the church awaiting Jesus Christ to come again? Before Jesus ascended into the clouds, He said He would be coming again! Not as a little baby next time, but coming from the clouds in great glory, honour, jubilation and exaltation! Nobody knows when that will be! There are hints in the Bible, but they are only hints! We are to wait expectantly and to live lives that are worthy of Him now, as we partake of righteousness and wait for Jesus to come again. When ever Youngmi and I go together to London, we meet up with old friends. Last time, it was a blast! We had a banquet, and there were 9 adults and 6 kids in our favourite Chinese Restaurant in Chinatown. We have all known each other for over 14 years now. One person wasn't there though. When we were walking and talker later on, two of my friends, individually of each other, told me about John. John has recently remarried and he and his new wife have been trying for the last few years for a baby. They showed me the messages they have received from him. It transpires he is giving up God, as he calls it, over this issue of not having the baby. My friends asked my advice. I said, to keep on encouraging, letting John know that while he may have let go of Jesus, Jesus has not let go of him or his wife. I also suggested that there are probably deeper issues as well, that John is not talking about. So my friends are going to continue encouraging John and uplifting him in prayer to the One who won't let go. So be encouraged! Don't give up! Encourage others who may be struggling. See and remember what the Lover is like! Be encouraged! Keep going! As Christians, if you are one here tonight, you are to bear fruit by remaining close to Jesus, as He is the vine and we are the branches. And why are we as Christians to bear fruit? As a means of bringing glory to God the Father (John 15v8). Be encouraged and be encouragers of others. Lover is like no other and wants to hear your voice. (Song of Solomon 2:10-15) The beloved speaks of the lover's voice. (Read v10-13) Then finally we hear the voice of the lover! (Read v14-15) Ever felt like God is far away? Well you aren't alone! It is an experience that is common to all Christians, at some point or another. I know I have experienced that in the past. But I also know from personal experience, that Jesus always comes through in difficult times. Although He may not come in the time I think He should come, because He knows when I need Him most. This woman, the beloved, is so expectant of the Lover's arrival she can hear his voice, his tender words! He is calling her to Himself! Jesus Christ is also calling you, to Himself! He wants you to be a partaker of the good news about Him. He wants you to be part of His family, the church. He is ever calling, ever beckoning people to enter into relationship with Him. His love for the church is indicative of verse 13, where he calls the beloved His beautiful bride. That is the church - warts and all - is His bride! By faith, He will see you through - Remember in the Gospels, when the disciples were in the storm and Jesus came to them walking on the water. Remember Jesus saying "Come" and Peter went to Him. This must have encouraged the other disciples, for upon seeing Jesus' power they worshipped him. Whatever troubles you are undergoing are temporary, and Jesus will see you through. Jesus is praying for you, will come to you, grow you and help you through troubles. By being obedient to God, you are encouraging others by showing your salvation and showing that faith is not blind, but active! Jesus wants to hear your voice talking to him... Not just for half hour in the morning but all day long. We are to yearn to talk to Him and for Him to talk to us. Prayer is a 24 hour communication exercise. Prayer, according to the Church Father Augustine, is a constant yearning for assistance and strengthening of desire towards the ultimate goal - eternal happiness and worship and knowledge of God. God Himself assists as we pray: by correcting and strengthening the yearnings. Prayers express desires and thoughts in a contributory way to the journey we are on. That means tell Jesus how you are feeling, both in the good and the hard times. Tell Him of your wants, your needs and all your cares.. Let His arms surround you! To him your voice is sweet and dulcet. Your face to Him is a delight. Seek him! Ask him! Talk to him! This is how you are spiritually energized! When you talk to God, you strengthen your relationship with Him! When you and I ask others to pray for us, Church unity is strengthened! Recap! So, how do we recapitulate. In this chapter, we firstly saw together the Beloved's portrait of the lover and how He feeds, nourishes protects and shelters her. We see this as an encompassing picture of Jesus and His love for His people, the Church. Then we saw how the Beloved lady encouraged others to wait and see this tremendous Lover. That is why we encourage one another and spur one another on as we see the day approaching when our bridegroom, Jesus Christ comes again in glory! Then lastly we saw how the bridegroom loves to hear the voice of the Beloved and gaze into her face. Jesus Christ, the great lover and bridegroom, loves to hear our voices as we express our love, gratitude, cares, worries and feelings to Him. Conclusion And what, in conclusion, do we do with all this? Jesus is the only nourisher, protector and feeder. Jesus Christ, the apple tree, provides for all your needs, your nourishment, gives you strength, protects and comforts. I don't know what situation you are in at the moment. This credit crunch, this economic crisis is affecting everybody. I guess there are probably three kinds of people here tonight. Firstly, there will be those who do not know this Jesus Christ personally. Please, do not leave here tonight without asking one of the leaders or your friends here, about how you can get to know more about this Jesus. The time is short, the waiting for Jesus to come again grows ever shorter, and when He does come again, the time will be too late to change your mind. Secondly, if you are in need of some love, some protection, some nourishment, then don't leave without having prayed with somebody or letting one of the leaders know of your needs. As Jesus Himself said, "Ask, Seek and Knock!" Jesus Christ is making intercessions for you, as He knows. He feels your cares and your worries, and knows what you are going through. Finally, if you are not in either of those situations yourself, you will know somebody who is. Therefore go and encourage those you know who are struggling and are in need of protection and comfort. This week, go and tell the good news of Jesus Christ to somebody who doesn't know Jesus personally. Right mouse click and save to download the MP3 file of this sermon.

Originally released March 3, 2021The doctrine of the authority of Scripture states that God's word stands above all earthly powers. Within God's governmental structure, God - the Living Word and the Written Word - hold positional authority. We are created, not Creator. We are stewards, not owners. Because many of us have experienced "authority" as a way to leverage power or to obtain a desired outcome, we may balk at the notion of the authority of Scripture.Yet acknowledgement of the authority of the Word of a God who gave his own Son on our behalf is not submission to a power-hungry deity, but to a Father who inverts the very idea of authority. He gives grace and agency to the humble. He elevates and protects the meek and powerless. Submission to such a Father grounds us and allows us to share in his abundant life, a life animated by his Word and illumined by his Spirit.

The Bible gives us some interesting instructions. It tells us to meditate on the written word so we can discover God's will for our life. But how does meditating on scripture give us “now” instructions to have success in our calling? Let's dig into this concept.

This month we are delighted to welcome Maija Lassila back to the EXALT podcast for our second conversation. Maija is post-doctoral researcher at Helsinki Institute of Sustainability Science (HELSUS) and recently received her doctorate from Global Development Studies at University of Helsinki. Maija takes to the North and gives us an overview of the work she did during her doctorate. We talk about reindeer herding and the impacts of resource extractivism (and the threat of future resource extractivism) on reindeer herding in Sápmi and Finnish Lapland. Maija “examines the contestations arising from the early stages of mining expansion in Utsjoki and Sodankylä.” Maija looks at the contestations the local community has to mining projects and traces out how this plays out in practice. Join us for this thought-provoking and wide-ranging conversation that gives deep insight into this world. Maija also reminds us how important it is to engage with post-extractivist alternatives as a way to reduce our dependence on the consumption.  If you would like to learn more about Maija's academic work https://researchportal.helsinki.fi/en/persons/maija-lassila  If you would like to read Maija's doctoral thesis, Incommensurabilities of New Arctic Extractive Projects: Resistance to mining among Sámi, reindeer herders and local communities in Sápmi and Finnish Lapland, http://urn.fi/URN:ISBN:978-951-51-9652-1 (links to the articles can be found in the dissertation) If you are interested to listen to Maija's first appearance on the podcast, Extractivism Research and Breaking Away from the Written Word, https://podcasts.apple.com/fi/podcast/maija-lassila-extractivism-research-and-breaking-away/id1499621252?i=1000472526548

In this special episode, hosts Medaya Ocher, Kate Wolf, and Eric Newman debate an age-old question that's being taken up in new ways amid an increasingly atomized landscape for thinking and writing about the literature and art that moves (as well as enervates) us. What does it mean for criticism to "matter"? And what indications do we have that it does beyond the measure of the marketplace? The hosts discuss what they think has changed—and hasn't—about how and where reviews circulate, the art of the take down, what they look for in a good piece of criticism, and if you can trust the New York Times Book Review. They also discuss the many roles critics play—from forming canons to puncturing them, using specific language, and transforming personal taste and sensibility into something that can, occasionally, change culture.

Joshua 1 is an exciting chapter where God has given a new leader to the nation of Israel, to lead them into a new land, and to let them experience a new life of blessing and victory. For Joshua to accomplish his new task he needed encouragement, so God gave him at three specific encouragements and three promises to enable him with confidence to by faith trust the LORD on this journey. First Joshua was assured that God had called and commissioned him to be the leader of Israel. God then promised Joshua that He would be with him (vv.5, 9), that he would be victorious over all their enemies (v. 5), and that he would apportion the land to each tribe as its inheritance (v. 6).  Joshua must have been greatly encouraged by his specific calling from God and by these three great promises of His presence and victory over the enemy. But maybe the greatest encouragement that Joshua received was from God's written Word! (vv. 7-9). It's one thing to say to a leader, "Be strong! Be very courageous!" and quite something else to enable him to do it. Joshua's strength and courage would come from meditating on the Word of God, believing its promises, and obeying its precepts. This was the counsel Moses had given to all the people (Deut. 11:1-9), and now God was applying it specifically to Joshua.  During the years of his leadership, Moses kept a written record of God's words and acts and committed this record to the care of the priests (Deuteronomy 31:9). The "Book of the Law" included "the Book of the Covenant" (Deut. 24:4, 7), a record of the journeys of the people from Egypt to Canaan (Numbers 33:2), special regulations dealing with inheritance (Numbers 36:13), and also the song that Moses taught the people (Deuteronomy 31:19). In Deuteronomy 31:23-26, we read Moses closing words to the nation of Israel just before he died: “Then He inaugurated Joshua the son of Nun, and said, "Be strong and of good courage; for you shall bring the children of Israel into the land of which I swore to them, and I will be with you." So it was, when Moses had completed writing the words of this law in a book, when they were finished..." We have reason to believe the entire five Books of Moses (Genesis through Deuteronomy) comprised "the Book of the Law," the greatest legacy Moses could leave to his successor.   But it wasn't enough for the priests to carry and guard this precious book; Joshua had to take time to read it daily and make it a part of his inner person by meditating on it (Ps. 1:2; 119:97; see Deut. 17:18-20). The Hebrew word translated "meditate" means "to mutter." It was the practice of the Jews to read Scripture aloud (Acts 8:26-40) and talk about it to themselves and to one another (Deut. 6:6-9). This explains why God warned Joshua that the Book of the Law was not to depart out of his mouth (Joshua 1:8).   In the life of the Christian believer, prosperity and success aren't to be measured by the standards of the world. These blessings are the by-products of a life devoted to God and His Word. If you set out on your own to become prosperous and successful, you may achieve your goal and live to regret it. The questions God's people need to ask are: Did we obey the will of God? Were we empowered by the Spirit of God? Did we serve to the glory of God? If we can answer yes to these questions, then our ministry has been successful in God's eyes, no matter what people may think.   David began with Book of Psalms telling us that the “blessed” person will be the one whose “delight is in the law of the LORD, And in His law he meditates day and night. He shall be like a tree Planted by the rivers of water, That brings forth its fruit in its season, Whose leaf also shall not wither; And whatever he does shall prosper” (Psalm 1:2-3). David might have been meditating on Joshua chapter one when he wrote this!   God bless!

We'd love to hear from you about this episode.The written word has always been a distinct part of the human experience, capturing our history and creating beautiful stories to escape into. Some of the earliest discovered writings were poetry, with many celebrating the natural world as its muse.Humans have a complex and symbiotic relationship with nature, although the modern understanding of nature can often oversimplify our relationship with our environment. Poetry is a beautiful way to bolster mental and emotional wellness by providing comfort and boosting mood during periods of stress and trauma. The powerful combination of meter, metaphor, and imagery helps us make sense of the world around us and how we fit into it.   Different studies have found that poetry can be therapeutic for patients dealing with various types of adversity.Welcome to Episode Forty of The Nature of Wellness Podcast.  On this episode, we sat down with nature poet and wellness advocate Jennifer Gordon. Jennifer is a yoga instructor, meditation guide, fitness instructor, avid hiker, and runner.  Born out of "writing to process personal trauma," Jennifer has published three poetry collections since 2021, mainly covering themes of love, loss, and the natural world.  Her third project, "Blue-Colored Muse," collaborates with different Michigan visual artists to celebrate the natural world.   Join us as we talk to Jennifer about her connections to nature and wellness, how advice from a mental health provider prompted multiple published works, and how nature inspires her to quiet her mind and "just keep going." She shares the importance of finding joy in self-care, how learning to process emotions can lead to a beautiful life trajectory, the power of communities, and her advice for anyone who wants to begin writing…she even reads a couple of her nature poems. This conversation was a beautiful start for soothing our souls and filling our hearts.  Please subscribe, rate, and leave a review anywhere you listen to this podcast.We appreciate you all. Be Well-NOWWebsite: www.jennifergordonpoetry.comFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/jennifergordonpoetry?mibextid=LQQJ4dInstagram: @jennifergordonpoetryJennifer's List of “Favorite Poets to Follow on Instagram”:Lauren Bowman (@l.e.bowman.poetry)Blake Auden (@blakeaudenpoetry)Steph Klees (@s.m.klees_poetry)Alix Klingenberg (@alixklingenberg)Joy Sullivan (@joysullivanpoet)Alexa Hoggatt (@alexa.hoggatt)* The unbelievable Shawn Bell produces the Nature of Wellness Podcast and makes us all sound so good.** The NOW theme song was penned, performed, produced, and provided by the dynamic duo of Phil and Niall Monahan.

One of the first two books I devoured and then recommended to people who bought my course was by Old Master Joe Sugarman, who passed away two years ago. The book was called “Advertising Secrets of the Written Word.” Just about everything in that book is valid today, and Sugarman writes like a friendly human being, not an imposing overlord of advertising. It's a very easy book to read, but it is chock-full of detailed, high-powered value. Today, as we continue our streak of Old Masters Series episodes, we're going to talk about the book and talk about Joe. The good news is, the whole book is available for less than half of what I paid for it in 1999. And I marvel at how much good stuff he was able to get in there. We're going to cover some of his most important points today.

People come to church hurting and find no hope. They come confused and find no direction. They come in weakness and find no power. They come with guilt and find no forgiveness. They come spiritually hungry and are not fed. Why? Because there is no hope, no peace, no power, and no forgiveness in man's wisdom, man's philosophy, and man's religion! So what is the answer? Where can we find pardon, peace, and power? Where can we find hope and truth and meaning and purpose? The Bible gives us the answer and the answer is clear. The answer, as it is given in 2 Timothy 4, is to “Preach the Word!” We need to preach the Word... the Scripture the Holy Bible, the Written Word, the inspired and authoritative Word of God.

“Ye shall not add unto the word which I command you, neither shall ye diminish ought from it, that ye may keep the commandments of the LORD your God which I command you.” (Deuteronomy 4:2) I... More...

In this modern world, it's undeniable that audio and video have dominated the content writing landscape. However, it's crucial to recognize the enduring value of written material, a unique quality that cannot be replicated or surpassed by audio or video. There are aspects that the spoken or visual mediums cannot replace when compared to the written word. And I'm going to explain why in today's class. Show notes: [07:00]#1 Writing requires more deep thought, as does reading. [28:38]#2 Written word has a much longer tail and longer shelf life than video and audio put together.
