In his continuing series on the Psalms of Ascent, Fr. Wilbur looks at Psalm 130 (131 in the Hebrew) and says that the higher we rise into union with God, the lower we go from centering on ourselves.

Psalms of Ascent - Psalm 130 (131)

Fr. Wilbur begins the last set of the Psalms of Ascent with another familiar Vespers Psalm - "Out of the depths, I have cried to You, O Lord."

Psalms of Ascent - Psalm 129 (130)

We are now moving beyond the mid-point of our journey in the 15 Psalms of Ascent. Psalm 127 (128 in the Hebrew) talks about the "fear of the Lord" which is described as pure and enduring forever.

Psalms of Ascent - Psalm 127 (128)

In his continuing series on the Psalms of Ascent, Fr. Wilbur looks at Psalm 126 (127 in the Hebrew) and the assurance that God is with us in the journey.

Psalms of Ascent - Psalm 126 (127)

In this Psalm, we reflect on the middle of our journey when the newness has worn off and the destination seems so far away.

Psalms of Ascent - Psalm 125 (126)

Continuing through the Psalms of Ascent, Fr. Wilbur reflects on Psalm 124 (125 in the Hebrew) where we take comfort in being surrounded by the love of God.

Psalms of Ascent - Psalm 124 (125)

In the next Ode of Ascent, Fr. Wilbur shows us that God delivers us in close calls and close calls are the foundation of maturing faith.

Psalms of Ascent - Psalm 123 (124)

Continuing with the Psalms of Ascent, Fr. Wilbur looks at Psalm 122 (123 in the Hebrew) which shows how we are given strength for the journey.

Psalms of Ascent - Psalm 122 (123)

The Psalm of Ascent associated with the Pre-Sanctified Liturgy during Great Lent is Psalm 121 (122 in the Hebrew) where we "go up" to the House of the Lord.

Psalms of Ascent - Psalm 121(122)

Fr.Wilbur continues his series on the Psalms of Ascent looking to the hills "from whence comes my help."

Psalms of Ascent - Psalm 120 (121)

The Psalms have been called the "Hymn Book of the Church" and contain rich and prophetic references to Christ.  In this podcast, Fr. Wilbur Ellsworth takes us through the Psalter and helps us to make them the prayer of our hearts.

In the first of his reflections on the Psalms we pray at the Pre-Sancified Liturgy during Great Lent, Fr. Wilbur looks at Psalm 119 (120) and the journey of a sojourner.

Psalms of Ascent - Psalm 119 (120)

Fr. Wilbur takes us through Psalm 28(29) where the prophetic vision of the worship of the Trinity is made manifest.

A Psalm for Theophany

In this prophetic Psalm, we have a song filled with love and a Psalm which gave theme to Hebrews 10. See the incarnation of Christ in this beautiful hymn of the Church.

Psalm 39 - A Christmas Prophecy

Psalm 73 (74) asks the great "Why" question of humanity. That question is answered in a cave in Bethlehem as the God of the universe takes on flesh for our salvation.

A Psalm for Christmas

One of the best know Psalms for Orthodox Christians is Psalm 103 (104) which is chanted at each Vespers service. Fr. Wilbur explores the beauty and depth of this Psalm in today's podcast.

Psalm 103

Fr. Wilbur takes a closer look at the Psalm we sing at every Vespers.

Psalm 140

What does it mean to praise the Lord "Henceforth and Forever More?"

Psalm 112

Another one of the morning Psalms asks the question, "How shall I walk?"

Psalm 142

Fr. Wilbur reflects on the many facets of God's goodness.

Psalm 102:6-20

Fr. Wilbur talks about the first 5 verses of one of the most beloved Psalms of the Church - Bless the Lord O My Soul!

Psalm 102:1-5

Excellent in every way.

I like the clarity of your explanations of the psalms.

Thanks

Let My Prayer Arise

During this Lenten season, Fr. Wilbur takes us through this penitential Psalm of David. Today's episode teaches on verses 1-6.

Psalm 50:1-6

Fr. Wilbur continues looking at the morning Psalms with his reflection on this familiar Psalm from Orthros.

Psalm 37

This morning Psalm reminds us that without communion with God our souls are barren, untrodden, and unwatered.

Psalm 62

Fr. Wilbur speaks about the hymn of entrance for the Incarnation of the Son of God.

Psalm 8 - How Wondrous is Your Name!

In the second episode, Fr. Wilbur takes us through Psalm 2 which begins "Why have the heathens raged?"

Psalm 2

Palm Sunday and Holy Week present opportunities for us to see Christ exalted, holy, and victorious!

Psalm 117 - Blessed is He Who Comes in the Name of the Lord

Fr. Wilbur concludes his look at Psalm 50 (51) with the last 2 verses, in particular focusing on the meaning of "then they shall offer bullocks upon your altar."

Psalm 50:18-20

This Psalm reflects the prayer of Christ in the garden who was not afraid to die but was terrified of death.

Psalm 87

On this episode of the Knowledge Project Podcast, I chat with Patrick Collison, co-founder and CEO of the leading online payment processing company, Stripe. If you’ve purchased anything online recently, there’s a good chance that Stripe facilitated the transaction. What is now an organization with over a thousand employees and handling tens of billions of dollars of online purchases every year, began as a small side experiment while Patrick and his brother John were going to college.   During our conversation, Patrick shares the details of their unlikely journey and some of the hard-earned wisdom he picked up along the way. I hope you have something handy to write with because the nuggets per minute in this episode are off the charts. Patrick was so open and generous with his responses that I’m really excited for you to hear what he has to say. Here are just a few of the things we cover:  The biggest (and most valuable) mistakes Patrick made in the early days of Stripe and how they helped him get better The characteristics that Patrick looks for in a new hire to fit and contribute to the Stripe company culture What compelled he and his brother to move forward with the early concept of Stripe, even though on paper it was doomed to fail from the start The gaps Patrick saw in the market that dozens of other processing companies were missing — and how he capitalized on them The lessons Patrick learned from scaling Stripe from two employees (he and his brother) to nearly 1,000 today How he evaluates the upsides and potential dangers of speculative positions within the company How his Irish upbringing influenced his ability to argue and disagree without taking offense (and how we can all be a little more “Irish”) The power of finding the right peer group in your social and professional circles and how impactful and influential it can be in determining where you end up. The 4 ways Patrick has modified his decision making process over the last 5 years and how it’s helped him develop as a person and as a business leader (this part alone is worth the listen) Patrick’s unique approach to books and how he chooses what he’s going to spend his time reading  ...life in Silicon Valley, Baumol’s cost disease, and so, so much more. Patrick truly is one of the warmest, humblest and down to earth people I’ve had the pleasure to speak with and I thoroughly enjoyed our conversation together. I hope you will too!

#32 Patrick Collison: Earning Your Stripes

If you want your company to truly scale, you first have to do things that don't scale. Handcraft the core experience. Get your hands dirty. Serve your customers one-by-one. And don't stop until you know exactly what they want. That's what Brian Chesky did. As CEO of Airbnb, Brian’s early work was more akin to a traveling salesman. He takes us back to his lean years – when he went door-to-door, meeting Airbnb hosts in person – and shares the imaginative route to crafting what he calls an "11-star experience.”Read Paul Graham: "In order to scale, you have to do things that don't scale."Read a transcript of this interview at: https://mastersofscale.com/brian-chesky-handcrafted/Subscribe to the Masters of Scale weekly newsletter at http://eepurl.com/dlirtX
