This lecture discusses key ideas from the ancient Middle Platonist philosopher and biographer Plutarch's essay On Tranquility

This episode focuses specifically on his discussion of one mistake that many people make that gets in the way of their enjoying their lives, namely desiring or attempting to do every kind of activity they consider important or valuable in their one life. Many activities are incompatible with each other, so selecting one means selecting against the others that incompatible. Plutarch advises us to follow the Delphic maxim "know yourself".

In Chapter 7 of Built by Fire, Step inside the hidden corridors of Cold War missions, frontline deployments, and the silent sacrifices made by those who serve in Forged in Uniform. This chapter chronicles David Burnell’s decade in the United States Air Force, where he moved from intense boot camp trials to supporting clandestine Special Operations, building secure networks in a new digital age, and standing by as the Berlin Wall fell.

From close calls on shadowy runways to tense moments in jungle deployments and the gut-wrenching separation of family for duty’s sake, this chapter unveils the cost, courage, and calling that military service demands. It is a journey through leadership, loyalty, and the deep, often invisible wounds that come with a life of service.

Whether conducting close air support missions, teaching tactical rappelling, or managing classified communications, each experience tested resolve, shaped character, and prepared David for the missions to come. It is a testament to the quiet professionals who protect freedom, often unseen and unheard, yet whose sacrifices ripple through generations.

Stream Chapter 7 today and walk alongside a warrior forged in service—one mission, one sacrifice, one hard-earned lesson at a time.

Class 33: Parshat Balak
The Strength to Surrender
Why Letting Go Is the Ultimate Power
Recorded Live at The Torah Center ATL on Tuesday, July 8, 2025

Strength is often seen as control, but Judaism defines it as surrendering to something greater. Balaam’s prophecy likens the Jewish people to unshakable mountains, rooted in ancestral strength. This class explores why true power lies in self-sacrifice and choosing holiness over convenience.

Torah Studies 5785 - 33 - Balak: The Strength to Surrender | Rabbi Ari Sollish

Psalm 132. A continuation of our series of studies through the Songs of Ascents and our "Lives of Worship" series.
 
In this study, Evangelists Gavin Williams and Jacob Holman explore the beauty of a covenant with God, the joy of worship, and the blessings that come with a relationship with Him.

4BIDDEN - Sacrifice A Beating Heart

4BIDDEN - Sacrifice (ft. Die von brau)

“Tired” is a confession from the edge — worn down by betrayal, survival, and the weight of always being strong. This one bleeds.


Tired

The Annunciation reveals what true surrender looks like—St. Mary broke her will and offered herself fully to God. In the same way, we’re called to break our will through fasting, prayer, and sacrifice, offering our lives as a living sacrifice to Him.

Behold, the Maidservant of the Lord

How the Everyday Connects Us to the Infinite
Recorded Live at The Torah Center ATL on Tuesday, July 15, 2025

Daily rituals can feel like a grind, but what if they’re your bridge to the eternal? This class uncovers how the daily sacrifice in the Temple shows us that every moment holds a chance to experience G-d’s infinite light. No special occasion needed.

25 07 20 - Abraham's seed

"The Cursed Tree" is a powerful country gospel ballad that tells the story of Calvary with reverence, weight, and worship. What the world saw as a symbol of shame — a rugged, splintered cross — became the very source of life and hope for all humanity. This song paints the vivid image of Christ's sacrifice on Golgotha, where wrath met grace and love was poured out for the world. For believers, it’s not just a tree... it’s the turning point of eternity.

Let this song remind you: what was cursed became our key to heaven.

Galatians 3:13
"Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us, for it is written: 'Cursed is everyone who is hung on a pole.'"

The Cursed Tree

Upper Room Media is a ministry of the Coptic Orthodox Church. Its mission is to bring the word of God from a timeless faith into your hearts and mind anywhere at anytime.

The Orthodox Church worships God in continuity with the earliest Church, and as such is the oldest Church. It is a Church of balance: between the mystical and the tangible; between spirituality and theology; between the worship of God and service to humanity. Everything is in balance, otherwise known as right worship, which means Orthodox. It is not a denomination, but rather pre-denominational. It is not a religion but rather a life with God in Christ. 

The Orthodox Church worships God in spirit and truth (John 4:24) and dynamically incarnates that truth in every age - empowering all people from all walks of life to love God, others, and themselves.

We want to help you discover the reality of Christianity!

The church of Christ at Fairview Park is a group of Christians committed to following just the Bible in all that we say and do. Our goal is to be a local church like those found in the pages of the New Testament. Our collective worship and work reflect this focus.  

Our weekly uploads are Bible lessons presented by Fairview Evangelists.  We invite you to study the Bible with us.

Like those found in the pages of the New Testament, the Fairview Park church is completely independent of all other churches. The elders have authority over this congregation (Heb 13:7, 17; 1 Pet 5:1-4) and they answer only to Jesus – not any other church or body.

We would love for you to join us for worship. If you have any questions about what we do or concerns about whether we are following the New Testament, we sincerely encourage you to contact us.

Fun Fact: 

"Pictureplane"(Travis Egedy), is a popular artist known for making his come up in the electronic music scene, DIY Venues, also popular for hanging around artists like "Grimes" and "Crystal Castles" in the early come up days of these artist, he is also the one who came up with the word "Witch House" which is a playful word on "House" music, though "Witch House" is now a popular music genre that is enjoyed by many.

"Crystal Castles" are actually one of the very first, if not the first electronic music duo to actually invent "Witch House" music, as you can hear dark beats and sorrow drawn out voices off of some of their early (demo songs/ Demo Album) dating back from "2007" and before that, which is crazy to think since during that time "Witch House" did not have a name for itself yet.
