Let me know!On Sharing Your Faith: "Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I ...

Finding Joy in the Mystery of Scripture

My name is Jonathan and for decades, I’ve been on a journey with the Bible, and I’ve found that the more I engage with it—heart and mind—the more profound my experience of joy and peace becomes.

It’s a journey that involves our whole selves.

Intellectually, we can stay curious, even when we encounter ideas that challenge us. We don't have to have all the answers. In fact, scripture honors the pr...

While recently driving past Corinth in Greece, I was reminded of the Apostle Paul's powerful challenge to the early Christians there. He posed a question that still resonates today: "Examine yourselves to see whether you are in the faith. Test yourselves. Or do you not realize this about yourselves, that Jesus Christ is in you?—unless indeed you fail to meet the test." (2 Corinthians 13:5) "Your restoration is what we pray for." He...

The Counting Crows' song "Mr. Jones" captures a universal feeling: the ache of loneliness and a deep desire for beauty and love. It's a fundamental human need we all try to fill. In our moments of isolation, we can remember God's promise: "He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds" (Psalm 147:3).

"God is love" (1 John 4:8). This love is not an abstract concept, but a person made tangible and very approachable in person an...

For if, while we were God’s enemies, we were reconciled to him through the death of his Son, how much more, having been reconciled, shall we be saved through his life! Not only is this so, but we also boast in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received reconciliation #newtestament

(00:00:00) — God's love is always present, and it's often our own hearts that resist it. (00:00:21) — How loving others, especia...

A Christian life is a journey of pressing forward. It's a walk that involves striving and, at times, suffering, all while we move toward the ultimate goal of being with Christ.

Heirs Through Suffering

"The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God's children." This isn't just a title; it's a promise of inheritance. As children, we are heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ. But this glorious inheritance comes with a con...

An Ai summary of my video:

The speaker opens with a prediction that while we will produce more with less effort using AI, it will lead to a decline in critical thinking and the loss of humanity's original voice.

The cycle of producing more with less effort will happen. And I also think that that will cause less brain power... So the original voice of humanity is, in my opinion, being lost.

Pivoting to a personal story, the speaker rec...

The journey of the character Shasta, who finds himself separated from his companions, is a relatable tale of perseverance and friendship. Along the way, we encounter a mysterious lion.

"Listen," said the Horse. "You and I must fly from Calormen together."

Even in their mistakes, the characters strive to do good. The story reminds us to have faith when things are really tough and even seem hopeless.

Listening to the Holy Spirit

(00:00:00) We are called to listen to the Holy Spirit who lives within us and to step out in faith. This is grounded in the eternal perspective of Christ's death and resurrection and bear in mind and heart those who have given their lives to share God's love.

(00:00:20) When you sense God's love for a person or situation, the key is to listen and be sensitive to the Holy Spirit. This guidance is unique to...

Thank you for watching!

00:00) I noticed that some people have a problem with C.S. Lewis.(00:12) Lewis describes a person who is not from Narnia and doesn't know Aslan nor the ways of Narnia.(00:50) [Audio Reading] Certain theological perspectives seem far more preoccupied with policing the errors of others than they are known for cultivating a joyful and gracious spiritual life.(01:30) We all interpret scripture. To claim a monopol...

"It's Me, I Need Help!" — Is It Really Your Loved One on the Phone?

It’s one of the most serious and terrifying scams of our time. Criminals are now using AI to perfectly mimic the voices of your loved ones, creating a fake emergency to trick you out of your money. They rely on one thing: targeting your emotions and creating a sense of urgency.

Here’s what you need to know to protect yourself.

English:

You are very good with languages. Worries, mate. Could you mimic my accent? Sorry, keep on going. I interrupted Claire. Keep on going. Claire, what do you think about this verse? Could you read it out to us in French? This verse calls us the importance of having simple and humble faith, like that of a child, to enter into the kingdom of God. Tell me something about Jesus. Claire, one sec. Claire, I have to.

A brief video featuring Ai to discuss the Chronicles of Narnia

Show notes from Video: But even in the darkest times, there is always hope, especially with the guidance of Aslan. It seems that Aslan is representing a figure that I have always marveled at, and I've read about him. I hope to meet him one day. Do you know in my world what his name is?

In your world, Jonathan, some call him by another name, but his essence is the same. He...

Today I made this video about learning languages. I am learning Basque (Euskera) and I give some examples of how to use @google Studio Ai for this.

English: What do you feel when you notice the tranquility of Port Hacking River? What do you think of the wind at Ellura Beach when you breathe it in? It's very salty and beautiful place to be. I love being there. It makes me remember my childhood. Let's talk about that. Ask me more que...
