What does the Hebrew year 5787 mean—and what might the themes of the sword, the scalpel, and the Word invite us to consider?
In this episode, Pastor Penny Schulz and Kristen Kipper explore the Hebrew year 5787 through the biblical themes of spiritual warfare, the power of our words, precise pruning, and rest in God. We discuss the presenters’ interpretation of the year’s symbolism, Revelation 2:12, the double-edged sword of God’s Word, and the call to speak with truth, wisdom, and care.
The scalpel offers a picture of carefully removing what is dead, harmful, or holding us back. The sword points us toward spiritual—not physical—warfare, grounded in Scripture, prayer, and proclamation. Alongside these themes is an invitation to release worry, find shelter in God, and make room for His presence.
📖 Scripture discussed includes Revelation 2:12, Proverbs 18:21, and Job 41:1–2.

• What might God be asking you to cut away or release?
• Are your words bringing life, truth, and reconciliation?
• Where do you need to rest in God rather than live in fear or worry?
