This is the full audio recording of session 55 of The Land of Israel Fellowship recorded on Sunday 11 July 2021.

The Power of Words: The Land of Israel Fellowship

What is a biblical response when others have cut you down with their words? God can provide hope, healing, and freedom from pain.

Responding Biblically to Hurtful Words

If you’re haunted by words of cursing from your past, ask God to give you a view of His sovereignty.

Insulting Words

Are you more likely to use your words to bless or to curse? You may not think of yourself as a curser . . . but do you sometimes use words as a weapon? Do you belittle, diminish, or tear people down? Nancy shows you why there’s so much joy in learning how to bless others instead of cursing.

Are You a Woman Who Blesses?

Sometimes the situation that’s driving you the craziest is the exact situation God wants to use to teach you and bless you.

Not Your Will but Mine Be Done

One of the most unusual prophets in the Bible not only had an audible conversation with a donkey—the donkey also saved his life!

A Donkey’s Wise Words

We asked you if a burrito was a sandwich, and you said 'no'. We asked you if ravioli was a sandwich and you said 'heck no'. We asked you if an ice cream sandwich was a sandwich and things...started to get a little murky. This isn't just a sandwich problem: you can also have similar arguments about what counts as a cup, a bird, a fish, furniture, art, and more! 

So wait...does any word mean anything anymore? Have we just broken language??  It's okay, linguistics has a solution! 

In this episode, your hosts Gretchen McCulloch and Lauren Gawne get enthusiastic about why deciding what's in and what's out of the definition of a word is so dang tricky, why people love to argue about it, and how prototype theory solves all the "is X a Y" arguments once and for all. 

Note that this episode originally aired as Bonus 9: Is X a sandwich? Solving the word-meaning argument once and for all. We’ve added an updated announcements section to the top and a few new things about prototypes and meaning to the end. We’re excited to share one of our favourite bonus episodes from Patreon with a broader audience, while at the same time giving everyone who works on the show a bit of a break.

Announcements:
In this month’s bonus episode we get enthusiastic about fictional gestures with Eric Molinsky, host of Imaginary Worlds, a podcast about sci-fi, fantasy and other genres of speculative fiction! We talk about the Vulcan salute from Star Trek, the Wakanda Forever salute from Black Panther, and the three-finger Hunger Games salute, and how all three have crossed over with additional symbolism into the real world. We also talk about gestures that have crossed over in the other direction, from the real-world origins of the Vulcan salute in a Jewish blessing, the two-finger blessing in the Foundation tv series from classical Latin and Greek oratory via Christian traditions, as well as religious gesture in the Penric and Desdemona series, smiles and shrugs in A Memory Called Empire, and more.
