What Are You Cultivating a Craving For?

"It's when we forget that we become ungrateful " that phrase!

These talks are the most worthwhile valuable discussions that I have ever had the pleasure of listening to... And I am truly GRATEFUL... THANK YOU ALL

One of the deepest desires I have is that JBP gets as far as humanly possible through the Book in the time we have with him.

This is currently my favorite content on YouTube. Thank you to all the creators, supporters, scholars, and participants of this project.

I have just caught up on the Exodus series and what I have developed a craving for is the next episode in the series. At the same time it is poignant because that is the last one. I have been so deeply blessed by the series. What I appreciate so much is the depth of devotion in everyone involved along with the fun and delight and humor each brought to the table, and the obvious love and brotherhood and ecumenical fellowship. We need so much more of this.

This series is just insanely good ,all guest are top notch

Many scriptures reference “in all things give thanks” and Philippians 4:6 - Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.

Jordan: I hope everyone speaks more than me so I can learn Jordan: speaks more than everyone

Being grateful for what you have , who you are and if you’re working towards a goal (which some of us aren’t unfortunately, I’ve been guilty of this), being grateful for having the opportunity to do so. As a veteran, and as someone whose lived with nothing to having some kind of stability, I can say that most people have no idea how lucky we have it here. I went to Afghanistan and saw children cheer and get excited for bottled water… we take all this for granted because we forget. Now comes the cultivation of cravings we don’t need and those cravings if not obtained can lead to envy and resentment. The roof over your head, the clothes on your back and the food on your table is the foundation. If you have that you have everything.. everything else is an unnecessary craving. I’m not saying that you can’t have nice things because it’s okay to buy that nice suit, car etc. if you have the money to do so without putting yourself in financial instability. I believe it’s unhealthy to crave something more than what’s necessary to live and allowing that craving to become an obsession which may become resentment and envy.

"Projecting the future onto the past" was a great phrase, great takeaway, and warning, too.

I actually began writing out a list a week or so ago of the good things in life, both big and small, and I look for them in the present, but also things from the past Any time I find something good, I pull out the iphone and just write it down in the notes app. It has really helped me change my mindset, because now I'm actively on the lookout for good things in life. It's shocking what you find when you earnestly look for it. The list has really grown, and it's nice to review it and see how much goodness I'm surrounded by.

A healthy mind knows how to listen to content like this, where one can be enriched by other people's insights, but not compelled to fully agree with everyone simultaneously.

Living with the posture of a thankful and grateful heart is the key to continued blessings upon your life. Never going unnoticed by our Father. When you are grateful for the sight of a sunset, for laughter at children at play.. when you know your bills will be met and food on your table, a good bed to sleep in and the devotion of my dog . How can I not stay in a state of gratefulness and want to linger there?

The IQ’s are off the charts .. wow The epic backdrops, the conversation-piece table, OZ, Jonathan, Dennis, Jordan, Ben 👌👍☺️ So awesome how they respect, and feed off of each other, even though Christians and Jews consider each other dead wrong at the end of the day … what a masterful conversation. I also love how Ben and Dennis - or Jordan & Dennis - or Oz & Dennis alone could make this conversation incredibly worthwhile, but all them together are just fireworks. But Ben still knows when to talk and when to listen .. it’s truly exemplary. 👌He has the intellect & knowledge to captain the whole conversation, and the humbleness & wisdom to know when to let others stand in the spotlight for their moment. It’s not by accident; he knows exactly what he’s doing. He may know as much (or more I’m sure in some cases) as some elder Rabbis that he studies with, but lets the elder Rabbis speak out of RESPECT FOR HIS ELDERS.. this is True Wisdom of The Bible put into practice. Having Dr. Peterson adding complexity of psychological insights into this study of The Torah is a masterful move. 👏👏 Then Dennis’s interjections of parallels with modern-day America just puts the cherry on top. ☺️👏 God Bless you men and lead you and us all closer to himself and His Son ♥️🙏

I feel even those who are not religious can learn a lot from these sorts of discussions, fascinating stuff

Ben Shapario is hungry for this type of conversation. He's better at this than those tiltok reviews. It's deeper.

God I wish Dr. James White was at the table … 🙏♥️ Love all these men in different ways for their intelligent insights.. each one brings something to this table in their own way .. what absolute Brilliance 👏👏👏

"I had my porridge first thing this morning...I was grateful for the helping...and I think I was even satisfied." I wrote the phrase with grateful, and gradually added that I was satisfied, being a sort of progression from gratitude to satisfaction.

The discussion is amazing. A wealth of information and wisdom. Thank you.

Great. Now I’m craving more of this discussion! 😂
