Podcasts about 7 deadly sins

When I first laid eyes on a book with the title, SELF-HELP FROM THE MIDDLE AGES: What the Seven Deadly Sins Can Teach Us About Living, I interested myself. Even more when I found out the author is an expert in medieval times. Peter Jones is a writer and academic specializing in the history of the human heart. Over his career he has taught at New York University, the University of Toronto, University College London, Complutense University of Madrid, and School of Advanced Studies in Tyumen, Siberia, where he helped put History at the centre of the liberal arts curriculum. But this book is about something that started in the 1300s when I've now learned that the ultimate level of high education was theology with a focus to “create self-aware citizens” and the most prized roles had job descriptions that involved analyzing the triggers of temptation and desire, giving lectures on fear and doubt, and healing the anxieties of people in crisis. Sounds like what we need, now. Thus why I did this show. I thoroughly enjoyed and benefited from this conversation with Pete and learned how I can have a better relationship with these 7 Deadly Sins, which the originator described as, “generic thoughts,” or in essence, human impulses, which include: 1) Pride - vanity, 2) Envy, 3) Anger, 4) Sloth, 5) Avarice - Greed, 6) Gluttony, 7) Lust. Which you are about to find out are seen as aspects of being a human, and the point is not whether we engage with them. We do. It's what our relationship is with each. Or rather, how our relationship is with each. Sign up for your $1/month trial period at shopify.com/kevin Go to shipstation.com and use code KEVIN to start your free trial.

Sloth is more than laziness—it's spiritual apathy. In week 7 of our 7 Deadly Sins series, we look at Proverbs 6:6-11 to see how sloth keeps us from the life God has called us to and pulls us away from purposeful, Gospel-driven, Kingdom-focused living.Website:www.experienceredemption.comFacebook:https://www.facebook.com/experienceredemptionInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/experienceredemption

Rob Harlamert talks about the spiritual apathy of sloth. https://elevatelex.church

Greed isn't simply about making or having money—it's about loving and trusting it more than God. Greed quietly competes for our worship, distorts our desires, and pulls our hearts away from contentment in Christ. The gospel offers freedom found in generosity, contentment, and Kingdom living.Website:www.experienceredemption.comFacebook:https://www.facebook.com/experienceredemptionInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/experienceredemption

Anger can feel justified in the moment, but man's anger never produces the righteousness of God. This week, we looked at the difference between righteous and sinful anger, what our anger reveals about the heart, and why real change only happens when it's brought to the cross.Website:www.experienceredemption.comFacebook:https://www.facebook.com/experienceredemptionInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/experienceredemption

Rob Harlamert's sermon on Gluttony.https://elevatelex.church

Lust is a heart issue. Jesus raises the standard beyond actions to our thoughts, desires, and intentions. What culture normalizes, God calls us to confront. His standard is high, but His grace is real—and freedom is possible.Website:www.experienceredemption.comFacebook:https://www.facebook.com/experienceredemptionInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/experienceredemption

Drew Dawson's sermon on Envy.https://elevatelex.church

Gluttony isn't just about food—it's about control. When our appetites start calling the shots, good things can become dangerous. It can look harmless, but over time it dulls our self-control and shifts our focus away from God. The Gospel calls us to something better!Website:www.experienceredemption.comFacebook:https://www.facebook.com/experienceredemptionInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/experienceredemption

Rob Harlamert's sermon on Lust. A Part of the 7 deadly sins. https://elevatelex.church

Courtney Smith, executive coach and co-author of Choosing Wholeness Over Goodness, joins us this week and we are so excited to talk to her about what it looks like to loosen our grip on being “good,” and instead allow for wholeness.  This conversation also opens up a deeper framework through the Enneagram and the original roots of the “seven deadly sins” not as moral failings, but as patterns that once helped us feel safe, alive, or connected… and eventually became limiting.  What we cover in this episode:

When medieval historian Peter Jones found himself spiraling into depression while teaching at a frigid Siberian university with icicles sprouting from his eyelashes, he asked himself what a medieval sufferer would do—and discovered something shocking: the Middle Ages, for all its reputation as a dark and superstitious time, was actually the golden age of self-help. A medieval merchant consulting a priest about melancholia would receive diagnosis, confession, and penance based on the Seven Deadly Sins, a psychological framework that mapped the seven basic patterns of human thought long before modern psychiatry existed. What we dismiss today as a catalog of Thou Shall Nots was actually an intricate system for understanding behavior—so effective that Reid Hoffman, founder of LinkedIn, credited it for his social media success by mapping each sin to platforms: Tinder on Lust, Yelp on Gluttony, LinkedIn on Greed, Netflix on Sloth, Twitter on Anger, Facebook on Envy, and Instagram on Pride. Today's guest is Peter Jones, author of Self-Help from the Middle Ages: What the Seven Deadly Sins Can Teach Us About Living. We discuss how fourth-century Egyptian monk Evagrius Ponticus formulated eight "wicked thoughts" to help monks identify psychological roots of temptation, why Pope Gregory the Great consolidated them into seven sins in the sixth century, and how the 1215 Lateran Council made yearly confession mandatory, transforming intellectual theology into practical psychology for the masses. Jones explains why sloth was considered the "ultimate danger"—a stagnation of the soul and refusal to fulfill one's purpose—and how medieval thinkers like Levi ben Abraham argued that avarice shackles the soul to material distractions while knowledge remains the only possession that cannot be stolen, making intellectual acquisitions the cure for greed.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Envy doesn't just want what others have—it resents them for it. Envy destroys relationships, fuels competition, and quietly hinders growth. It robs us of joy, peace, and purpose, but the Gospel offers something better!

Rob Harlamert's sermon on matthew 6 where jesus addresses Greed.https://elevatelex.church

In Luke 18, we see two men approach God—one trusting in his own righteousness, the other pleading for mercy. One leaves justified, the other does not. Pride isolates, compares, and demands. Humility confesses, depends, and receives. The question is simple: whose righteousness are you trusting in?Website:www.experienceredemption.comFacebook:https://www.facebook.com/experienceredemptionInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/experienceredemption

What if the sin you confess isn't the sin that's driving you? We draw from the early church's wisdom on the seven deadly sins to diagnose the roots beneath our most familiar habits. Rather than chasing quick fixes, we ask the harder question: what's your motivation behind the things you're doing?We start by reframing confession. Overwork, gossip, withdrawal from church, and short tempers with kids often look like problems to solve, but they're usually symptoms. Pride can whisper “I'm indispensable,” greed says “never enough,” and acedia numbs us with distraction and listlessness until silence feels unbearable. By tracing actions back to motives, we show how real transformation begins when desires change first, and behaviors follow as fruit.Pride takes center stage because it hides in plain sight, quietly corroding  relationships. You'll hear twenty practical “fruits of pride” to spot in everyday life—sinful competitiveness, people-pleasing, craving recognition, resentment in serving, self-sufficiency, interrupting, and the subtle “I deserve it” mindset that kills gratitude. We connect the dots with Scripture, from Jeremiah's blunt diagnosis to James' promise that God gives more grace to the humble. Along the way, we tackle parenting anger, church disengagement, and the restless boredom of acedia, offering language and examples that make the inner landscape unmistakably clear.We close with three simple practices to kill pride and grow humility: make your life about others, submit to trusted people who can name your blind spots, and repent often by naming the root sin, not just the behavior. If you're ready to stop managing symptoms and let grace heal the cause, this conversation will give you a path forward.

On Sunday, one of our elders, Austin Smith, explored Jesus' radical definition on greatness found in Luke 22v24-30.    While the disciples argue about status, Jesus teaches that true greatness in His kingdom is found in humble service—becoming useful rather than trying to get ahead.   Worldly self-centeredness will keep us from loving others well, but in Jesus' life we see another way to live. He is so certain of His identity as a beloved son, that he is able to go low, to be grateful and generous in every situation.   As we grow in gratitude to God, may our lives become acts of worship and may we be found useful to his kingdom. 

John 6v47-58 with Christian Dawson Gluttony is not simply about excess. This teaching invites us to consider how our habits with food and drink shape our desires and form our lives as disciples. As we examine everyday patterns of consumption, we are invited into a different way of eating and drinking that leads to gratitude, self-control, and deeper trust in God. bridgetown.church/teaching

1 Corinthians 6v19-20 with Tyler Staton and Bethany Allen   Vanity often goes unnamed, but this teaching reveals it as a quiet, shame-driven attempt to secure identity and control through the body. Rather than managing appearance for worth or safety, we are invited into a gentler way of life - receiving our bodies as good, limited, and deeply loved. This teaching offers an honest look at how vanity forms us and points toward freedom through presence, community, and trust in God's care.   bridgetown.church/teaching

Matthew 25v14-30 with Bethany Allen Jesus' parable of the talents exposes how sloth takes root through comfort, delay, and quiet disengagement from the life God entrusts to us. This teaching invites disciples to resist spiritual apathy and practice faithful participation shaped by trust, courage, and love. Bridgetown.church/teaching

Daniel 4v4-9, 22-34 with Ken Shigematsu Through the rise, fall, and restoration of King Nebuchadnezzar, humility is revealed as acknowledging God as the true source of power and life. The story shows how pride unravels us from the inside out, and how recognizing God's rule restores what was lost. bridgetown.church/teaching

Let's be real: every sales pro has slipped into at least one of the 7 Deadly Sins of Sales. I sure have. I've over-talked. I've rushed into price. I've gotten too friendly and completely sabotaged my authority. And every time, it cost me the sale.These sins are sneaky. They creep in when you're nervous, excited, or unsure. They derail deals, weaken confidence, and leave you replaying every word wishing you could redo the call. But here's the good news: if you can spot the sin, you can stop the sin.The fastest way to lose a deal? Leave a question hanging. If an objection lingers in your client's mind, they won't buy. And blurting out pricing before the value is crystal clear? That's a revenue death sentence. Clients don't inherently know why your price makes sense — you must build the value first.And yes — your clients want to like you, but they need to respect you. Leading like a friend instead of a professional makes pricing feel negotiable. Suddenly, you're discounting and defending instead of confidently closing. Because if you're talking more than your client, you're selling yourself… not the solution.Sales is a listening game. And if you're not uncovering a real pain point — a reason to buy today — don't be shocked when they say they “need to think about it.” Even worse? Waiting until the end to handle objections. By that point, you're on defense.The thread that ties all seven sins together? Not listening deeply enough.When you avoid these traps, selling becomes smoother, stronger, and way more successful. You'll stop chasing, start leading, and close with authority every single time.Subscribe to Young Boss with Isabelle Guarino wherever you get your podcasts, and be sure to like, share and follow on Instagram and TikTok.And remember, youth is your power.

Luke 12v13-34 with Tyler Staton Jesus names greed as rooted in a mindset of scarcity and invites his disciples into a radically different imagination: a life shaped by God's abundance. As part of our series on the seven deadly sins, this week explores the psychology, sociology, and spirituality of greed. bridgetown.church/teaching

Jonah 4v1-9 with Christine Caine Anger has become normalized in our world, quietly fracturing our relationships, health, and life with God. Through the story of Jonah, we're invited to notice how unresolved anger grows, distorts our priorities, and blinds us to God's compassion. By sitting with God's question, Is it right for you to be angry? we're pointed toward a better way where anger is faced honestly, healed at the root, and no longer allowed to rule us.
