Symeon the New Theologian, a transformative Byzantine mystic, emphasized that direct, personal encounters with God are essential for every Christian. Unlike many of his contemporaries, Symeon shared his intimate mystical visions of divine light and his honest struggles with doubt through poetic hymns and theological discourses. His work challenged the religious establishment by prioritizing felt spiritual experience and the guidance of holy mentors over mere intellectual study or formal church

As long as you are proud, you cannot truly know God, because a proud person is always looking down on things and people rather than looking up. God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble. Therefore, submit to God.

Unleash The Soul

Be Encouraged ·

2026/09/11

The text describes the human soul as a divine creation animated by the breath of God, not a biological accident. It explores the soul's anatomy, identifying it as the human identity and the seat of conscious choice, specifically the decision to live in light or darkness. Choosing the light of life functionally means surrendering to Christ's lordship, replacing selfish motivations with a spirit-led nature marked by love and peace. This transformation, described as being born again, shifts the

Rest

2026/09/08

Sooner or later, every one of us ambles into our last sunset. It doesn’t knock or ask if supper’s ready—it just slides down the sky like a mule that’s done its day’s work. You can holler if you want, but sunsets aren’t famous for turning around. By then, the bones start whispering that maybe we’ve plowed enough furrows for one lifetime, and the promise of a better rest begins to sound downright sensible.

This episode explores the spiritual discipline of maintaining inner peace and joy regardless of external chaos or disruptive circumstances. The author argues that a constant conflict exists between the human flesh, which is rooted in distrust, and the spirit, which relies on divine trust. By viewing life’s challenges as a metaphorical ski run, the author suggests that individuals are often thrust into the unknown by a higher power to foster spiritual growth. Rather than attempting to control

The Reoccupation

Be Encouraged ·

2026/09/02

This episode redefines Christian salvation from God's perspective, drawing on the works of Major Ian Thomas, arguing that it is not merely a one-time ritual or a guarantee of an afterlife, but rather the active indwelling of Jesus Christ. This conversion requires a total surrender of authority, allowing God to functionally govern every mundane and significant decision in a person's life. The author utilizes analogies of oil lamps and fueled cars to illustrate that a human being cannot fulfill their

FROM THE PORCH

Be Encouraged ·

2026/09/02

This episode explores the theological and practical transition from initial faith to a state of continuous spiritual rest in Christ Jesus. By distinguishing between the “threshold” of seeking relief and the “home” of permanent habitation, the text argues that true peace is found in abiding rather than striving. But to abide, one must first arrive. This life of rest is illustrated through the dual metaphors of the vine and the yoke, representing the internal trust and external obedience required for

Active Passivity: The Paradox of Divine EmpowermentAug 16, 2026This presentation explores the concept of Active Passivity, which describes the Christian life as a paradoxical cooperation between divine power and human action. According to the text, believers are called to express externally what God is already initiating internally, rather than relying on their own strength or willpower. This relationship is illustrated through the analogy of a vine and branch, where the branch merely hosts the life

A Case For Addiction

Be Encouraged ·

2026/08/29

In this episode, Dean Chicquette presents a spiritual perspective that reclaims addiction as a fundamental human drive intended for relationship with God. The author reflects on his personal struggles with dependency, ultimately concluding that the human capacity for intense craving is a divine design meant to be satisfied by Christ rather than worldly substances. By reframing religious devotion as a "drug of choice," the source suggests that humans possess an inherent inner void that only the
