OC’s Question ask: Odd numbers for Rav!
I’m gonna assume you mean all the odds, so fuck yeah.
1. A little-known talent of your OC?
    Rav can fold a fitted sheet.
3. How many pillows does your OC sleep with?
    One, at most. Unless she’s sleeping on pillows on the floor.
5. Your OC’s worst habit?
    Not taking her meds and going back to bad coping mechanisms. She can get pretty destructive, both toward herself and anybody/thing that gets in her way.
7. What is your OC’s opinion on body modifications?
    Well, she has plenty of them. She loves them.
9. What chore does your OC hate the most?
    Filing taxes. She hates it and it takes too much concentration. Household chores don’t bother her because it means she has a home to take care of.
11. Is your OC a blanket hog?
    Not really. She is, however, a body-heat hog and will put her cold hands and feet all over Kohl and Summer in the winter.
13. Does your OC have a widow ’s peak?
    A little bit of one, yes.
15. Something that grosses your OC out?
    Pimple-popping videos. She doesn’t mind blood, guts, gore, etc. but the thought of someone willingly watching popping videos for fun is beyond her.
17. Is there a real person that looks like your OC?
    Not exactly, by any means. Here and there I see stuff that fits. Her face claim is Katheryn Winnick, but even then there’s a little bit of a difference (it’s bc I’m especially picky about her nose. Don’t judge me)
19. Something that makes your OC cry without fail?
    Visiting their father’s grave.
21. Does your OC have any type of disability, whether it be mental, physical, etc?
    BPD, PTSD, depression, dyslexia. Physically, she’s in really good condition, considering all the shit she puts her body through.
23. What is your OC’s first memory?
    The first time her dad took her and Wrecks to Edinburgh Castle
25. Your OC is going into battle/on a mission! What song is their anthem?
    ‘I Am The Law’ by Anthrax
27. Most despicable thing your OC has ever done?
    Oof. She tries not to do bad things, but she and one of her exes were both charged for (not convicted, they just dropped it) domestic violence because they got into a knock-down, drag out fight. After that, the thing she’s most ashamed of is when she started the big fight with the boys and shoved Kohl back into a table hard enough to trigger his PTSD not to mention bruise up his back where he hit.
29. Someone does something awful in front of your OC. How do they handle it?
    It honestly depends on what awful means. If it’s something like attacking an innocent person, or anything else she finds reprehensible, she’s probably gonna jump that person and kick their ass.
31. Does your OC prefer to sleep in a warm or cool area?
    Anything and everything she does, she prefers a cool environment. She hates the heat.
33.A song that reminds you of your OC?
    I have an entire Rav playlist lmao. But ‘Shake It Out’ by Florence + The Machine is a pretty good one. Also ‘Issues’ by Julia Michaels.
35. What is your OC’s favorite quote?
    She knows a bunch from Lord of the Rings, but her favorite is “I’ll get there, if I leave everything but my bones behind.” Because, you know, life has been a hard road for her, but she’s determined to kick it’s ass. Samwise Gamgee is secretly Rav’s favorite in basically anything ever.
37. Does your OC get excited when they get mail?
 She gets suspicious or annoyed, because it’s 99.999% of the time a bill or junk mail.
39. A strange talent of your OC?
    Wasn’t this like the first question? Well another one is she has the arm and core strength to do air-walks if she’s poledancing/doing pull-ups, etc. She likes to show off.
41. Does your OC like/make puns?
    She laughs at some, but doesn’t make them unless it’s on accident.
43. Your OC wakes up with a coin super glued to their forehead. How do they react?
    Probably immediately gets ready to swing on Wrecks bc she knows Kohl and Summer wouldn’t do that to her.
45. What kind of self-esteem does your OC have?
    She usually has pretty good self-esteem but every now and then she gets bad and basically hates everything about herself. It’s really all-or-nothing. The one thing she absolutely hates is that she started getting gray hair in her late teens. By the time she’s in her 40s it’s almost completely gray, so she dyes it constantly, even once she grows it out from the mohawk.
47. Does your OC fold their clothes, hang them up, or just leave them in the basket/dryer?
    She usually just leaves them in the basket when she lives with Wrecks because there isn’t much choice as far as clothing storage goes, but once she lives with Summer and Kohl, she hangs her stuff up (Summer would probably give her The Look otherwise.)
49. Your OC’s most prized possession?
    The only copy left of a picture of her parents holding the twins right after they were born (shortly before everything went to shit on that front.)

Isaiah 66:1-24, Philippians 3:4-21, Ps 74:1-23, Proverbs 24:15-16
Today is the 2nd day of October. Welcome to the Daily Audio Bible. I am Brian. It's a joy and it's a pleasure and it's exciting even to be here with you today as we keep moving into this new month and keep taking steps forward together. We’ll complete the book of Isaiah today in our Old Testament reading, which will take us into some new territory beginning tomorrow. We’re reading from the Christian Standard Bible this week. Isaiah chapter 66 today
Commentary:
Okay. So, a bunch of you in this community are married. A bunch of you are not married, but if you are married, then I'd say this a pretty good…better-than-average chance that you have a wedding ring. And, so, like I have a wedding. Like I'm looking at my wedding ring right now. Is that wedding ring…and I'm looking at mine. Look at yours. Is that wedding ring your marriage? So, is that precious metal, whatever it is wrapped around your finger. Is it your marriage? Right? So, like whether it's exotic and expensive and fantastic or wether it’s super super thin and basic, none of us can say our wedding ring is our marriage. Right? It's rather a symbol representing the fact that we have entered into marriage. So, actually being married is way different from wearing a symbol of marriage on our finger. And this is fundamentally what Paul is saying in our reading from Philippians today, but fundamentally what he's been saying throughout all of the writings, what he said throughout his entire ministry, the covenantal relationship that God offered his people had become empty ritual, kind of like a ring without a marriage. So, the heart and the soul and the commitment required of the relationship had become rules. And Paul had tried. So, for Paul obeying the rules even being a scholar of the rules in order to be made righteous before God had proven unfruitful. It didn't make him righteous. And, you know, we shouldn’t think of the apostle Paul as like some dude that's kind of a nominal participant in his faith, that's not what was going on and he was talking about it today, like, “am I a Hebrew? Yes, I’m of the tribe of Benjamin. I was born of Hebrews. Talk about my zeal, I persecuted the…” like he was saying, “I was all in” in other words. He had obeyed the rules with every effort and he still couldn't find a relationship with God in them. And, so that's what he was articulating in our reading from Philippians today. Paul was convinced that only the righteous could ever hope to see God. And, so, prior to meeting Jesus the Christ the resurrected One he applied himself to becoming righteous through the rituals and ceremonies of his faith. It just didn't make them righteous. It revealed his inability to be righteous, which is like the heart, the crux of so much of his theology and so much of his argument. But even though he had tried his very best and found that he couldn't become righteous through the law someone did fulfill the law, which was so compelling to Paul, Jesus. And, so, he diligently searched the Scriptures and received direct revelation from Jesus and realized that faith could make a person righteous but law or the rules, the behaviors, the behavior modifications, those things couldn't make him righteous. And, so, he was compelled to put all of his faith in Jesus, believing that God was doing a new thing in the world and restoring humanity to God through Jesus because now there was a path toward righteousness that was out of the reach of humanity…like out of the reach of us being able to achieve it on our own. And, so, this…well…tipped Paul's life upside down and to the point that he considered all of the effort that he had put in prior at being righteous he considered it all a waste. So, quoting him, “I consider everything to be a loss in view of the surpassing value of knowing Jesus my Lord. Because of him I have suffered the loss of all things and consider them as dung” right? So, he's, like “dude…I tried so hard  to find God and I worked so hard and my good behaviors piled up and I was righteous before the Lord, but now I look at that and see it was just a big pile of crap. Compared to an actual relationship with Jesus it's all garbage.” Now I realize this theme, this isn’t in our first time encountering these foundational truths that are fundamental to the Christian faith. They’re all over Paul's writings but there all throughout the New Testament. But sometimes we actually need the things that keep getting brought up in the Bible. We need it because…because we’re often mistaking the ring for the relationship as we try to walk through every day trying to obey the rules so that God will notice us. And because Paul is so pointed, because he is so direct about these topics and because they repeat themselves in so many of the letters, we have to start wondering like, “what…like…what campaign is Paul trying to wage here? Is it that he's trying to do away with all of the rules? Like, is that the point? Do the tenets of our faith and the rituals of our faith have any value?” I mean is if salvation actually is a gift it's something that we can never earn, but only something that we can receive. Then what's the point of trying…what's the point of trying to live by any kind of rule? Look at the wedding ring that we were looking at a little bit ago. Like, I’m looking at it again. Can you make your spouse love you? Like I’m looking at a ring that says I got married and my wife's name is Jill and she's around here somewhere and I know that I can do very, very kind things toward her but I also know I can be a complete jerk too. Like we’re all capable of all kinds of things but no matter how I am, if I set my affection upon her to practically be her servant and do everything that I can I still can't make her love me. Love is given, love is offered, love is a gift. So, you're married, and you've been given the gift of your spouse's love. So, then can you do whatever you want in the marriage simply because you been given this love? Right? Hardly! That will not work. When we exchange love between each other we’re taking a big risk and it's gonna require supreme loyalty, at least if it's gonna work. And, so, if the relationship is healthy, then the rules of the relationship become apparent, they don't need to be spoken, we don't have to follow them out of coercion. The rules define our love. Right? So, Jill and I were married, and we were given the covenant of marriage. We were like…we had to sign documents. It's a contract. Like our state of Tennessee recognizes that we have the contract of marriage. We…I…we…I don’t even know where it is. I doubt she does either. Like, we have never gotten into a spat that turned into a fight and then one of us went somewhere and came back out holding a manila envelope with our marriage contract. We never reviewed…we never reviewed it. Like this thing that keeps us together is love. And, so, there are things that I will…there are things that I will not do because I will not break my wife's heart. There are positions I will not get myself into because I won't even take that chance. And yet it has nothing to do with whether or not that was written down as a rule in my marriage contract and I imagine that you're pretty similar and this has always been Paul's point. He was convinced that we’re on a journey to wholeness and restoration and that can happen through faith and entering into a relationship with God that we’ve been offered to Jesus. So, if we’re gonna…if we’re gonna be…I mean I mean we just talked about what it's like to be in love with our spouse but if we’re gonna be in love with Jesus then we have to act like it. It’s more than a symbol or an icon. It's more than a ring around your finger. Those are symbols of a reality and may we live ever deeper into that reality today.
Prayer:
Holy Spirit we invite You into that because a lot of times we major on the optics, like we major on how we look like we're in a relationship with You. Like we get around our faith communities and so it's all about saying the right versus and the right euphemisms and have our hands raised or, You know, whatever it is that we do so often we’re simply portraying an image like a ring with our marriage. And we want to relationship. It's not about what it looks like and it’s not about how well we’re doing with the rules, it’s how well we’re doing at losing our self in love with You. So, come Holy Spirit. We’re reminded again and You continue to remind us and we need to be continually reminded because we forget things so quickly that are so much embedded into the fabric of our relationship and so much our reality. So, come Holy Spirit we pray. In Jesus’ name we ask. Amen.
Announcements:
dailyaudiobible.com is the website, it's home base, it's where you find out what's going on around here.
And I…I did a little fireside chat that should've showed up in your feed today kinda giving the whole story but today is a really special day because we’re releasing a resource today that is so much the DNA of the Daily Audio Bible that it…that it is kind of the DNA of the Daily Audio Bible in some respects, a brand-new written resource called The God of Your Story or The One Year Adventure With The God Of Your Story. And it's a new book, that, yeah, I needed to actually create a different podcast to talk about so that we could just talk about the story of how it came to be. I mean, I have been a writer for a while now and I’ve published several books. And I mean, before all that I was a record producer, I was in the music business. So, I know kind of how releasing things works in the world and the world of distribution and all of this. And, so, in the past any time I’ve mentioned something new, a new resource, a new work that's coming, it's, you know, it's a couple weeks away and just letting everybody know and talking…talking about it. It's a little different this time, so different on a number of levels. First of all, there is no fanfare. This is the fanfare, the God of Your Story is out today and that is largely because I just felt this sense from the Lord that…that this is something to blow trumpets about, this is something to be humble with. And, so, I'm obeying that. And as I explained on the fireside chat, this…this is something that took 600 days of writing to accomplish, something that I thought would be far easier than it ever was. In fact, it ended up being way more of a mountain than I…I think I was even prepared to climb. But here we are. So, mountain got climbed but it was…it was something that has been done before, which seems to be the way of things around here often. And essentially what The God of Your Story is…is…is the gold…is the gold of the Daily Audio Bible or at least what we talk about when we talk about the Bible on the Daily Audio Bible. The challenge was to determine whether or not what we do here every day on the Daily Audio Bible, we read the scriptures and then we usually talk about them. If what we talk about, could that become a written work. That’s a fairly sizable project because we’re talking about the journey through the entire Bible in a year. And I thought, yeah kind of…kind of gonna be a piece of cake other than it's going to be a lot of work, it's gonna be pretty straightforward, do this every day. But man, when you try to take what is spoken and make it written. It's a totally different thing. Nevertheless, when we began the Daily Audio Bible we were reading from a plan and this is the 14th time through it, this one-year Bible plan. And, so, knowing that this has been our rhythm, we partnered with the one-year Bible, the one-year brand, which is owned by Tyndale House and created a 365-day commentary through the entire Bible as we do on the Daily Audio Bible. So, it's every day, the kinds of stuff that we talk about, even though no time through the Bible on the Daily Audio Bible is the same. Those of you who have been here for several years like…you know…like every year is a different thing and we move in different directions but finding that path in written form is what the God of Your Story. And I’m not gonna say any more about it than that today to take up any more of your time. I’ve given the story. I’ve told of the journey in the fireside chat. So, check that out. But the God of Your Story is available today, right now at dailyaudiobible.com. Just look in the initiatives section and you'll find God of Your Story or you can find it in the Daily Audio Bible Shop. And as I mentioned in the little fireside chat it is honestly my sincere prayer because it is really a memorial to this community. The book is dedicated to the Daily Audio Bible community, it was born out of what we have done here, this rhythm that we have kept for these 14 years. And it’s one of the…it is for sure by far the hardest writing project I've ever been involved in and is one of the hardest things I've ever done just because of the scope and just because of the scale just because of how tedious and involved it was. And is my prayer that everyone in this community will have that, will have that resource and use that resource and underline in that resource and cherish that resource that I very, very much challenged our entire publishing team like this needs to be timeless, this needs to be classic, this needs to look like a book that should be treasured because at least for us, at least for our community that's what it is. And, so it is a beautifully hardbound edition. It's a special limited edition and that's actually a reality. And, so…so it's out today. And when you…when you get a copy of the God of Your Story from the Daily Audio Bible shop, obviously this is releasing all over the place so it's available everywhere, but when you get it from the Daily Audio Bible all of the margin goes to the Daily Audio Bible. This is a resource, like I said, that was born out of the Daily Audio Bible and even though it was the hardest…hardest thing I’ve ever been involved in in terms of writing, it would've never happened…like it would've never happened had we not been on this journey together. And, so, I have made arrangements with the publisher and forgone any royalties and everything. Every copy that we sell through the Daily Audio Bible Shop is all going to support the Daily Audio Bible and the ministry efforts that are growing as we grow. And I’m biting my tongue because I have so much to say but I’m gonna say as little as possible today. You can find the God of Your Story in the Daily Audio Bible shop or you can visit godofyourstory.com.
