Created things pull us outside ourselves. We fix our attention on objects, and so our mode of consciousness becomes objective. We assume that the pursuit of the external will, in return, bring us reward as the objects of our attention come to us.
And yet, no matter how hard we try, the external cannot cross the threshold into our inner being and satisfy our real need. Possessions can go no further than an ephemeral caress of the ego. And this maddening tease drives us to toss aside one failed object for the next, leading us on an endless and fruitless pursuit.
Saint Augustine awakened from objective consciousness, from his madding pursuit of created things, to discover that looking outside himself for meaning only drew him away from himself. And the way back to himself was to yield to the divine call that comes only from within.
Today, we turn our attention away from created things out there - letting go of objective consciousness - and look toward the treasure that lie within, where the Creator of all things calls to us.

Paradise Now - Tim Mackie of The Bible Project
In the midst of the ministry of Jesus, twelve disciples were called. These twelve disciples would later be leaders of the future church, but only after being trained by Jesus himself in ministry, discipleship, and evangelism. In this episode, we cover the disciples, their known backgrounds, and the challenges of calling both a zealot and a traitor.

Jesus continues the Sermon on the Mount. He teaches on fasting, treasures in heaven, money, worry, and false judgment. In addition, he covered pearls to pigs, good gifts, the narrow gate, false prophets, and the man who built his house on the rock. All of these define a greater faith, the fulfillment of the law, the character of Jesus, his purpose for coming and the lifestyle and decisions required to follow him.
