What does it really mean to wait on the Lord? In this episode of Take Heart, Cory Wing explores the biblical call to patient, faithful obedience, showing that waiting on God is not passive inactivity or fearful avoidance. Drawing from Isaiah 40 and the lives of Abraham, Joseph, Moses, David, Saul, and ultimately Jesus Christ, he explains the two dangers Christians often face: passive sidelining and sinful bulldozing.

True biblical waiting means obeying where God has spoken, working faithfully in today's responsibilities, and trusting Him with tomorrow's outcome. If you've ever wondered how to trust God's timing while remaining active and obedient, this episode offers practical biblical encouragement.

Why is Jesus explicitly called the Good Shepherd in John’s Gospel, yet the same theme seems less obvious elsewhere?

In this episode of Shadows to Substance, Pastor George Sayour explores the shepherd imagery woven throughout Scripture and argues that Mark 6 presents Jesus as the Good Shepherd through the feeding of the five thousand.

With compassion for sheep without a shepherd, Jesus teaches the crowds, makes them sit down on green grass, and feeds them until they are satisfied—powerfully echoing Psalm 23 and the promise of Ezekiel 34.

We've turned down the intro music to spare your ears, Neighbor!  Also, you don't want Luke (the PodNinja) in your cheer block. Every time he roots for a team, they end up losing...

THEN: We're Vikings! Our people hail from the north, and we have powerful birthing hips. AND, it's Bridger's birthday! He celebrated in his favorite way... by flushing various things down the toilet. 

LATER: an update on Luke's war with the thistle.  (You'll know it's time for the update when you hear the bumper music.)

We hope this episode is a good break from all the very interesting, attention-grabbing things on the internet. Contact the Comedian's family [email protected] 

Today David looks at what was meant by the term "republic" prior to the constitutional revolutions throughout Europe in 1848, their meaning when Benjamin Franklin remarked that our nation was founded as.a republic, and whether we still have a republic. The change in meaning to the present is very revealing, telling us what must change in politics, law, and the church.

The following comes from my time this morning with the Lord, and realized it would provide an excellent introduction to what I will release ON SATURDAY as my normal podcast. It is my answer to what is "the state," and why our knowledge of the person of Jesus Christ must define it.
