Legendary actor and mental health advocate Glenn Close is on a quest to change how we think about mental health, starting with her decision to speak out about her own family's struggles — a brave choice considering the stigma that pervades the topic. This week, we're revisiting this sweeping conversation with TEDWomen curator Pat Mitchell, where Close shares the inspiration behind the advocacy group she founded to combat the crisis, underscoring the transformative power of community and the critical need for comprehensive mental health care systems.

Day 93 | Judges 9:22–11:28

We witness the tragic downfall of Abimelech, a self-proclaimed king who ruled Israel through treachery and violence, only to meet his end by a millstone thrown from a tower. His story highlights the consequences of corrupt leadership. Meanwhile, Israel falls into its recurring cycle of sin, turning to idols and facing oppression. When they finally cry out to God, He challenges them to seek help from their false gods before once again showing mercy. This passage is a sobering reminder of the dangers of compromise, the importance of godly leadership, and the faithfulness of God even in judgment.

You Can Plan, But God Decides | Day 152 10:42

19 hours ago10:42

10:42

Day 152 | Proverbs 17:1–19:29 Proverbs 17–19 offers some of the Bible’s most vivid, practical wisdom: peace at home is more valuable than abundance, a single rebuke says more than a hundred lashes, and the power of our words can shape lives. This episode explores the difference between harsh confrontation and loving correction, how to cultivate wisdom in our relationships, and why our plans must always bow to God’s higher purpose. With encouragement drawn from Proverbs and Ephesians, it challenges us to live Spirit-filled lives—speaking life, walking humbly, and trusting that the Lord's plan will prevail.

A Gentle Answer Saves a Relationship | Day 151 10:36

2 days ago10:36

10:36

Day 151 | Proverbs 14:1–16:33 Proverbs 14–16 challenges us to stop and examine our instincts. Some paths feel right—but lead only to destruction. The world often encourages emotional decision-making, blind belief, and reactive conflict, but God's wisdom tells a different story. This episode explores the danger of trusting appearances, the call to be discerning in what we hear and share (especially online), and how we can turn conflict into growth by responding with gentleness, humility, and self-control. These timeless principles speak directly into today’s culture—and they’re still the wisest way forward.

Day 150 | Proverbs 11:1–13:25 Proverbs 11–13 contrasts the world’s way with God’s wisdom, revealing a divine economy where giving leads to increase and humility precedes honor. The conversation explores what it means to trust God with your finances, decisions, and future—even when it looks like the wicked are winning. With practical stories and scriptural insight, this episode reminds us that the way of the righteous leads to lasting reward, even if the results aren’t instant.

When God Formed the Foundations | Day 149 11:28

4 days ago11:28

11:28

Day 149 | Proverbs 8:1–10:32 In this powerful section of Proverbs, wisdom is not just a concept—it is a voice calling out to all who will listen. Proverbs 8–10 paints a vivid portrait of wisdom as present before creation, rejoicing with God and delighting in humanity. The episode explores the theological depth of wisdom as a communicable attribute of God—one we are invited to share in through daily pursuit and obedience. With vivid imagery and timeless counsel, the Proverbs challenge us to reflect on whether we welcome correction, seek truth, and genuinely desire to grow in understanding. God's wisdom is not hidden—it’s calling to us.

5 days ago11:04

11:04

Day 148 | Proverbs 5:1–7:27 Solomon warns his son—and us—about the seductive path of sexual sin. Proverbs 5–7 pulls no punches: the adulterous woman may look alluring, but her path leads to destruction. These chapters are a call to pursue wisdom, set boundaries, and stay far from the line of temptation. Along the way, Solomon also highlights the dangers of poor financial decisions and stirs the heart with wisdom on pride, humility, and integrity. Whether you’re a parent, a young adult, or simply seeking a life of godliness, today’s reading is packed with insight and warning for everyone.

The Father’s Plea: Don’t Ignore Wisdom | Day 147 9:37

6 days ago9:37

9:37

Day 147 | Proverbs 1:1–4:27 We begin the book of Proverbs—short, powerful sayings meant to guide us in godly, practical living. In today’s chapters, wisdom isn’t just an idea. She’s a voice, crying out to a distracted world. But can we hear her over the noise of our screens? Solomon reminds us that wisdom begins by trusting in the Lord, not leaning on our own understanding. These Proverbs are for the young, the simple, the wise—for all of us. The question is: will we just read them… or live them?

The Lord Brings Peace and Rest | Day 146 9:49

7 days ago9:49

9:49

Day 146 | 1 Kings 4:1-34; Psalm 72; Psalm 127 Under Solomon’s rule, Israel flourished—families had homes and gardens, peace surrounded the borders, and wisdom flowed from the king like never before. But Solomon knew the source: God gave Solomon wisdom. Today’s reading from 1 Kings and the Psalms reminds us that no success, peace, or lasting legacy comes from our hands alone. Unless the Lord builds the house, the builders labor in vain. In Psalm 72, Solomon prays for the future King—a prayer many believe looks forward to the Messiah. In Psalm 127, he reminds us all: God gives rest to those He loves.

Solomon’s Glory Stuns the Ancient World | Day 145 10:21

8 days ago10:21

10:21

Day 145 | 2 Chronicles 8:1-18; 1 Kings 9:15–10:13; 2 Chronicles 9:1-12; 1 Kings 10:14-29; 2 Chronicles 9:13-28; 2 Chronicles 1:14-17 Solomon’s glory was unmatched: gold-covered palaces, a temple unlike anything the world had seen, and wisdom so profound that the Queen of Sheba traveled across continents to witness it. She was overwhelmed. But Jesus said, “One greater than Solomon is here.” Today’s episode walks through that comparison—highlighting how Jesus surpasses Solomon in wisdom, teaching, building, and kingship. Drawing on the unforgettable sermon “A Greater Than Solomon” by R.G. Lee, we’re reminded that while Solomon amazed a queen, Jesus reigns as King of Kings—offering not just insight, but eternal life.

Fire Falls from Heaven as the Temple Is Dedicated | Day 144 10:14

10:14

Day 144 | 1 Kings 8:54-66; 2 Chronicles 7:1-10; 1 Kings 9:1-9; 2 Chronicles 7:11-22; 1 Kings 9:10-14 The temple is finished. The Ark is in place. Solomon’s prayer rises—and fire falls. The glory of the Lord fills the temple so powerfully that no one can enter, and the people fall face down in awe. Yet even in this moment of glory, God gives Solomon a clear warning: If you abandon Me, the temple will become a mockery. God desires hearts more than achievements. He reminds Israel that repentance, humility, and wholehearted devotion are what truly invite His presence. The message is clear: turn, seek, and follow—and He will be faithful.

The Temple Is Filled with God’s Glory | Day 143 9:06

Day 143 | 1 Kings 8:1-11; 2 Chronicles 5:1-14; 1 Kings 8:12-21; 2 Chronicles 6:1-11; 1 Kings 8:22-53; 2 Chronicles 6:12-42 At last, the temple is complete—and as the Ark of the Covenant enters, the glory of the Lord fills the house so powerfully that the priests cannot stand. This is more than a construction project; it’s the fulfillment of generations of longing and divine promise. Solomon’s prayer of dedication is a model for us today: he looks to the past with gratitude, trusts God in the present, and prays boldly for the future. And in a moving answer, God responds: I have heard your prayer. His presence, His promises, and His mercy still remain.

Solomon Marries Pharaoh’s Daughter | Day 142 9:00

11 days ago9:00

9:00

Day 142 | 1 Kings 7:1-51; 2 Chronicles 3:15–4:22 Solomon is at the height of his reign: the temple is majestic, his palace gleams with gold, and peace fills the land. But hidden behind the splendor are small cracks—decisions that go against God’s commands. He marries Pharaoh’s daughter and accumulates vast wealth, two warnings God gave to every king. What begins as compromise soon becomes a pattern. Today’s story invites us to reflect: What small cracks are we tolerating in our own lives? Solomon’s legacy reminds us that unchecked disobedience always grows—and always costs more than we expect.

The Temple Begins on Sacred Ground | Day 141 9:37

9:37

Day 141 | 1 Kings 3:16-28; 1 Kings 5:1-18; 2 Chronicles 2:1-18; 1 Kings 6:1-13; 2 Chronicles 3:1-14; 1 Kings 6:14-38 Solomon’s wisdom shines in one of the Bible’s most unforgettable moments: a heartbreaking dispute between two mothers, resolved by a king who knew how to see the heart. But this day’s reading also zooms out to a much bigger picture—the building of the temple on the very ground where Abraham once offered Isaac. This sacred site becomes the center of worship, sacrifice, and history. From David’s repentance to Solomon’s obedience, and from a Jebusite threshing floor to the temple mount, this story reminds us how every thread in God’s plan is woven with purpose.

God Appears to Solomon in a Dream | Day 140 11:41

11:41

Day 140 | Psalm 83; 1 Chronicles 29:23-25; 2 Chronicles 1:1; 1 Kings 2:13–3:4; 2 Chronicles 1:2-6; 1 Kings 3:5-15; 2 Chronicles 1:7-13 In Psalm 83, Asaph calls on God to defend His name against enemies who seek to erase Israel from the earth—a cry still echoed today. But the heart of this day’s reading is found in 1 Kings 3, where Solomon, just beginning his reign, is visited by God in a dream and given a choice. Instead of riches or vengeance, Solomon asks for wisdom. His humility and dependence on God shape the start of his leadership—and remind us that true influence begins with seeking God's heart. Every leader needs wisdom, and God is ready to give it.

God Disciplines His People After Jerusalem Falls | Day 139 8:42

14 days ago8:42

8:42

Day 139 | Psalms 79–82 These Psalms are written in the shadow of Jerusalem’s destruction—a consequence of Israel's long disobedience and God's covenant discipline. Yet even in grief, Asaph cries out with hope, asking how long until God restores His people. He remembers Israel as a vine God once planted and tended—and he prays for the Son of Man to come and restore what’s been lost. That prayer finds its answer in Jesus, the true vine. Through Him, broken branches are grafted back in, and restoration becomes possible for all who remain in Him.
