The conversation delves into how every Christian has a responsibility to share their faith, akin to not hiding a lamp under a bed but placing it where it can illuminate the house. They also discuss the idea that one's actions will eventually reveal their true commitment to spreading the word of Jesus.The sermon for this episode is titled "Actions Speak Louder" and can be found at pondergmc.org/ministries/sermonsNEW!: Rate us at Podchaser Find us at www.pondergmc.org.

In this episode of "Shark Theory," host Baylor Barbee delves into the deeper, often overlooked aspects of true support among friends and peers. Baylor shares a personal story of an unexpected gesture from a gaming friend, Darius Bates, which redefined his understanding of support. A friend's decision to support Baylor by promoting his new book emphasized that support is more than words; it is about taking actionable steps to uplift one another. Baylor emphasizes the etymology of support, derived from Latin meaning "to carry," and challenges listeners to redefine their understanding of this concept. Highlighting how true support involves actions that propel others forward, Baylor provides a compelling narrative filled with actionable insights. Drawing from personal experiences, he distinguishes between genuine support and mere lip service, encouraging listeners to surround themselves with loyal individuals who truly carry them through life's ups and downs. Key Takeaways: True support goes beyond words, requiring actions that help move others forward. The etymology of support originates from a Latin word meaning "to carry," emphasizing action over mere encouragement. Evaluating the support we provide and receive is crucial for personal and professional growth. It's essential to surround oneself with people who are loyal and genuinely supportive, contributing towards shared success. Practical steps for showing authentic support include actively promoting others' goals, irrespective of personal alignment or brand aesthetics. Notable Quotes: "Support is not just saying 'woo hoo, go you.' It's saying, I'm going to take an action to move something forward." "When you say I support you, are you carrying somebody forward?" "Bates didn't DM me first, say, 'hey, I'm going to post you.' He just did it. He just took an action." "Strength is not about numbers. It's about loyalty." "I support you because I believe in what you're doing." IF you need Graphic Design, Check out Bates HERE

The One Year Devotions For Men ( Page 40 ) 1999, Christian History magazine surveyed its readers and Christian historians.Respondents to the survey were invited to name the five most influential well-knownChristians, By a substantial margin, C.S. Lewis was most often named.Born in Belfast, Ireland, in 1898 to parents who loved books, young "Jack" Lewis became a book lover during childhood, embarked on a scholarly career at Oxford, and became a convinced atheist. Strange beginnings for a man voted the most influential in spiritual growth!In 1929, Lewis discarded his atheism and became a theist-but not happily. He described himself as "a prodigal who is brought in kicking struggling, resentful, and darting his eyes in every direction for a chance of escape."& Jack Lewis was experiencing the love of God drawing him.Two years later, Lewis converted to Christianity. He had been meeting people he admired, only to discover (to his horror) that they were Christians. He had been reading his favorite authors, whom he liked except for their Christianity. But through their influence, his understanding of God grew. He was led to recognize that if God is God, he must be obeyed-not for the sake of reward but simply because he is God. Lewis wrote,"If you ask why we should obey God, in the last resort the answer is, [because God says,]'1 am.'" Lewis insisted that he was no more seeking God than a mouse seeks a cat. But God was seeking him. And he responded, he submitted, and the rest (as they say) is history.We must always remember that the impulse to think about God comes from him, and that the desire to discover truth and beauty and reality is born from him. Jesus said,"People can't come to me unless the Father who sent me draws them to me" (John 6:44).The Lord said through Isaiah, "People who never before inquired about me are now asking about me. I am being found by people who were not looking for me. To them I have said,'I am here!'" (Isa. 65:1).Through the people Jack Lewis met, the books he read, the beauty he saw on his long country walks, and the longing in his own heart for which he found no satisfaction, Lewis eventually heard the Lord say, "I am here." For years he wasn't looking and listening.But once he did, his life became a vehicle through which the Lord began to speak.Every converted life is supposed to be a pulpit from which the Lord proclaims,clearly, to people who may not be listening, "I am here!" 1. A Visible Testimony – A believer's life should reflect God's character, showing love, patience, kindness, and holiness. When people witness a genuinely transformed life, they see evidence of God's work, even if they are not consciously looking for it. 2. Actions Speak Louder than Words – Sometimes, people may not listen to sermons, read the Bible, or pray, but they will notice how a believer lives. Integrity, joy in suffering, selflessness, and unwavering faith in difficulty can proclaim the reality of God more effectively than words alone. 3. God's Presence in Everyday Life – A Christian does not need a physical pulpit to preach. Every interaction, decision, and relationship is an opportunity to reflect Christ. Whether in the workplace, at home, or in casual conversations, a believer's life should communicate, “God is here, and He changes lives.” 4. A Call to Authenticity – This statement is also a challenge to Christians to live in a way that truly reflects their faith. If someone claims to be changed by God but lives no differently from the world, their “pulpit” sends a confusing message.Ultimately, this idea reinforces that conversion is not just about personal salvation—it is about becoming a vessel through which God reaches others. Every transformed life is an unspoken yet powerful declaration: God is real, He is here, and He is still changing lives today.
After being challenged by the chief priests and the elders, Jesus told a parable of two sons each given a task by their Father. While one initially refuses before obeying, the other responds with empty words of obedience without actually doing the will of the Father.In this sermon we will see how this parable serves as a rebuke to the self-righteous in both Jesus' day and in our own.This sermon was preached at Legacy Reformed Baptist Church in East Grand Forks, MN.

Parshas Bo When Actions Speak Louder than Rules How could Hashem ask the Jews to take Egyptian clothing when maintaining distinct Jewish dress was one of the key merits for redemption? What does this fascinating paradox teach us about the true meaning of Jewish identity? In this week's Parshas Bo, we uncover a profound insight that challenges our understanding of what it means to live an authentic Jewish life. Join us for an eye-opening exploration of how the clothes we wear, the music we listen to, and the choices we make shape not just our external appearance, but the very essence of our connection to Hashem. This episode reveals concepts that will transform how you view the subtle interplay between halacha and the spirit of Yiddishkeit.
In this thought-provoking episode of "Shark Theory," host Baylor Barbee delves into the metaphorical concept of personal logos and the authentic representation of who we truly are. Inspired by a recent encounter on the golf course, Baylor illustrates how our presence—our brand—is defined by our actions and attitudes. He poses introspective questions to challenge listeners to reflect on what their "logo" represents in their everyday lives. Throughout the episode, Baylor discusses the importance of embodying values and actions that align with one's personal and professional missions. He emphasizes the significance of self-awareness and integrity, encouraging listeners to evaluate whether their daily actions reflect their core principles. As Baylor ventures into the subject of emotional impact, he advises how to consciously project an authentic image that resonates with the desired emotions and values in both personal and professional spheres. This introspective journey is aimed at making 2025 a breakthrough year for his audience. Key Takeaways: Our actions and demeanor serve as a personal logo, defining how others perceive us. Self-awareness is crucial for ensuring that our actions align with our core values and mission. The emotional influence of our presence often speaks louder than our actions themselves. Regular reflection and evaluation of personal behavior help maintain integrity and authenticity. Seeking to evoke positive emotions in others can strengthen personal and professional relationships. Notable Quotes: "A logo is, to me, is a representation of what you're about, a representation of who you are." "Your actions and who you are, your presence is a logo that is representative of you and what you stand for." "Have you ever thought about it, like, if you were watching your life just take today or take yesterday, and you sped it up and watched 24 hours of your day?" "You have to at least know what your standards and goals and ideals are so that you're not habitually falling short of them." "It's important that you ask yourself what feeling you want to evoke with this logo in your life."

By the way, If you can listen to those tik tok videos with robot AI captions, you should get yourself checked for a micro chip. You might be a robot. Anyway, Have you ever decided, Like, three seconds into the video that the dude's voice is just—so shitty that it might make the video shitty? No? Just me? {Enter The Multiverse} I nearly cleaned out the little free library after discovering that on the top shelf there were a slew of cookbooks, and more additions to the bottom. I hadn't been out in three days, but it seemed there was still some high level effort to theorize on how to go about siphoning my personal energy from inside of the apartment— I was still being followed. As I cleared the little library, dividing the take between my three bags, a blur of an ingrate human being passed from my right, explicitly and with purpose letting out a loud and obnoxious open-mouth cough— immediately, I coughed back, knowing that in time, the things I had been subjected to by these people would come back at them with roaring force—why not help along that karmic justice by paying it forward now, besides of course, the fact that I had for two more days been silent. ‘Disgusting fucking creatures.' And just with that, the opened-mouth coughing of a low-level gangstalker, I was proud that I had considered my purchase both urgent and imminent; there was no certain way to go about shutting myself away from the world besides doing it, and now with winter's chill gripping at the nose and fingertips, a cold wind whipping about and ice afoot, all the more reason to step aside and inside to resume creation—and the less time I spent on the street level with the roach and rat like people — much too far from the glittering and glamour filled luxe of Manhattan to be refined, well behaved, or mild mannered, they much emulated a lesser species by their habits and limitations. it was a frequency I strayed far away from, however— I had made it easy for them to stalk me on this particular morning, while although leaving for groceries at close to five or something of the like, and still being followed even then by the strange and shadowy type that at least stayed silent and kept great enough distance that it didn't bother too much, (besides the knowing that it never seemed seemed what time it actually was), that if I left my apartment at all, I would be followed; But, I had doubled back for the books after just by habit, though with a heavy load of groceries—baking goods and other heavy things I normally didn't buy, plus breakfast foods for the long haul, a self-initiated lockdown— and I knew that the later into the day it got, the more ‘sims' (a term I had deemed the robotic gangstalkers sent about remote controlled by their devices, whether they were doing it with intention or by force, or not.) They seemed at the disposal of the controllers, and while some of the sims were just weird, robotic drone-like people, many of them seemed dangerous—their frequencies almost creating such a friction that it seemed a disease to be in their presence. It had become clear that though docile and complacent, human beings had become weaponized by force, and the only thing keeping a revolution from emerging or a civil war from breaking out, was the intense divisiveness amongst people. People chose to remain as slaves, in utter complacency. I was skinnyish from running and awaiting the arrival of my Peloton, however. There was still 24 hours between now and then, the arrival of the beast and though I had spent the day before completely off grid, instead enjoying my now small library—though needing to be properly re-sorted, as collecting more literature had made a mess of things, (and though I had picked up a toy Hello Kitty Ukulele as wall decoration), I still somewhat refused to buy rugs or other practical decor or furniture, such as bookcases or even a bed. I was being stalked, followed and regularly tortured by sound and vibration interference— frequencies aimed directly into my abode, especially at times when I had wanted to rest, and though I could have avoided entirely at least some of these awful people by just leaving a little earlier, I then would have missed the all-too-beautiful reddened hues of the east coast sunrise; I had actually never seen such a ruby red light cast upon the Brooklyn brownstones, and although the people were sometimes ugly (the open-mouthed coughing ingrates, that is), the red and gold sunlight over the fallen leaves and east coast architecture almost made it worth it—and with any reckoning, my coughing back at the nasty little monster was a telltale sign that eventually, I'd either start beating the shit out of people when they coughed at me in public — or — I'd eventually craft a world without them in it by staking away from them, and taking long breaks from practicing behaviors and habits they exhibited. I no longer wanted to fit in, or become popular, or accepted, as I had finally realized that it was just as it always was, back in school: the popular people, even in music, “art”, and what was supposed to be “culture” weren't very bright—they were just brighter than enough of the people around them to get ahead by just enough whether by looks, money, or sometimes but rarely now, even, superior talent. They had been elected as representatives of the masses—the common man, the not-too-smart; the easily manipulated, and the docile. The superficial next generation was programmed to be limited to what had already happened; a stalemate in ingenuity, high art, and evolutionary consciousness in culture had been reached, as observed by dealings with the public world, as I studied their listening habits, social normalcies, and collective behaviors. The less time spent interacting with these ‘sims' and drones, the more in-depth my thoughts began to flourish—seeing in full color spectrums and patterns, acting and thinking in ways I was blessed to be abnormal in. I was no longer complacent in a world full of material greed and commercial competition, no longer feigning for mere objects that simply with decent credit anyone could go well into debt for—and most did. Instead, I would wear my same recycled clothes, keep to myself and my business, and craft from within some kind of masterpiece the world itself could no better inspire than I on my own. I was now the proud owner of a small library—and into my list of small but sacred prized possessions, two pilot television scripts from the era before which Television had deteriorated, in the onslaught of streaming culture; these two pilot scripts, neatly bracketed and crammed in between classic novels and cookbooks, were my happiest find since the treadmill, and of course— the Omega Juicer I still wasn't sure would ever work, but at least, watching the 11-year-old instruction video had given me a proper laugh, and besides not having the patience to further explore whether I had put it together incorrectly, or if it simply no longer operated, it was a device worth further considering spending time in order to try to make it work, before spending something awful on a machine of equal or lesser value. The treadmill had worked right away, and I was now clocking in segmented runs of about 4 miles a day— working my way up to seven, with the actual notion and belief that it was those Madonna-length runs which had manifested this apartment, and, that with the Peloton and those runs combined perhaps, if I were to stay in New York, an apartment in one of those tall shiny buildings in Manhattan would manifest itself—only second, of course, to a house in the Hollywood Hills. As for America, there was nowhere else I could I should be, I thought, and something strange had happened without my noticing—without any promotion whatsoever, I had garnered an unusually high amount of streams on I Love New York— surprisingly, with global response. I had gained followers and listeners in London, Germany, and Spain— top countries for dance music, and as I studied my metrics, I realized that the type of music I found easiest to make was performing the best; House and Techno snobs never changing, I had found a niché, and, another interesting point I had gathered was to find the Uptown A, without any promotion or live performance, was gaining traction and followers. Though minimal, without any effort, the numbers climbed all on their own. I found it astonishing that with no promotion at all, somehow, the album had circulated. Now I wished I had the focus and prayed for a way to finish the short film, or, collection or videos with a vague storyline which connected them together—however anyone wanted to see it, if they ever would. I was still largely out of storage space, and the phenomenon that the psychological terror attacks seemed to happen most frequently while online and even connected to my own private network, the more time I spent online the more time I spent under the blankets of honking horns, ravaged by motorcycles and modified engines, though—I found none of these people to be impressive or very powerful; their being counterproductive only alluded to the simple fact that it had become clear more people were born or made through neglect of some sort to be more useless than not— and so in effect, had to make use of themselves in other ways. I was almost trying to forge an alliance with the neighbor, but there was still some deepseated mistrust that probably had less to do with her race than her gender acclimations. I attempted not to judge, but it tormented me that anyone could knowingly sleep with a married man in exchange for a job and then expect 3 million for it was beyond me. Her unexpected visits and eagerness to see inside of my apartment was a discomfort, but to discover the likelihood of her induction to the wealthy— a millionaire status— angered me, but I was sure it was meant to, in that she herself was either some sort of plant, or a gangstalker who had been sent to gaslight in some sort of way— procuring information in one way or another or simply to plant seeds in my mind that hadn't needed to be there. It seemed she was in need of something—information, and that her motivations went beyond curiosity, however misjudged I might have been. Her actions seemed provocative and invasive, and however—the restlessness was already out of hand. I did my best to keep the peace, knowing all too well that a privalaged person made upset could be damaging and destructive. I had lived long enough to understand that, in fact, a cute little white girl could get her way with just about anything, using their ideal status and high regard as a tool of manipulation. I had no doubt that she would probably get her way— millions of dollars for doing nothing and being offended by it/- or even further, that it was all just an elaborate story crafted to further crank my brain, in addition to the motorcycles, the door slamming, and of course being followed to the gyms here-and-there and having had the entire year of living here being a nearly intolerably, noise filled nightmare. She had, after all, gone through wild and extraneous efforts to forage her way into being friends or something of the like, and, in my final attempt at being human, I thought to at the very least try to understand the idea of friendship, though probably having become forever unable to actually attain it. Friendship required trust, and, after hearing about her lawsuit, apparently for having had an extramarital affair with her married boss, with whom she “believed” was “in love with her”, it was perhaps the initial feeling of discomfort which had foundationally placed this person in the danger zone—that there was ‘just something' I couldn't trust about her—and I wondered as a future business owner how it might be the company's fault for her obvious moral defects. Further solidifying every reason to never pursue a married man, I pondered this; that in the modern practice of validating feminine toxicity and masquerading it as ‘justice' or ‘feminism' only further keeps women away as a whole from obtaining equality— on the moral high ground that one should not sleep with her boss, or should immediately report threatening behavior rather than to allow it in exchange for professional promotion, it only seems that the tactic of manipulation has to at some point come into play when indeed, over a period of time, one has gathered enough evidence to factor in a judgement that the company should compensate them. One should not be simply compensated for their willingness to display affection and exchanges of intimacy in a work environment if not reported at first concern; I was old enough to know better, so I figured certainly anyone given a few years in either direction should have a clear understanding of such. I had dealt numerouy with narcissists and manipulators all of my life, and it almost seemed an immediate red flag that she seemed to want so much to be friends, especially after having audibly reported me for various discrepancies—besides the obsurdity that she had decisively slammed doors as a means of getting attention. Perhaps it was some sort of sponsorship of sorts, indeed that she was a gangstalker herself and was being incentivized to act in such ways. For weeks, we had fallen into the habit of overendowment by way of gift exchange. Still, these were blurred lines; and I thought it best to be ‘friends' with a dangerous person rather than actual enemies. Keep your friends close, and your enemies closer, and of course—keep it light, and simple, and on the surface. She might have known my line of work, but nothing else, and it seemed that I might actually have the advantage here— besides her being Caucasian, obviously of privelege and wealth and my being multiracial. I knew more about her than she did about me, and, under the suspicion alone that she was a plant, and with the confirmation of my theory that she had also been burning sage, (now having done so admittedly knowing that the other neighbors would suspect and report me), and the apparent falling out with the other neighbors over something I had neither asked, nor was interested about— perhaps the simple fact was, I distrusted her immediately just with the intrinsic sense that she was untrustworthy; the type of woman who would knowingly sleep with a married man, and worse— with the intention of monetary gain in mind. The type of woman you don't want around your husband, period. In that way, perhaps it was simply that I was traumatized, once having been severely cheated on and lied to by a serial cheater and later wifebeater, that it was impossible to not see myself as ‘the wife'. Though now happily divorced and not quite straying from single, though planning to somehow be married again even if it was in the style of Elizabeth Taylor or, Richard Pryor—or even Marilyn Monroe, just repeating the process in insanity, I realized, however impractically, that I enjoyed being married, and monogamous—and even if this did make me a simple and easy target for infidelity, I had learned something very simple and wholesome about myself; I was a good woman. And I enjoyed that. —Tales of a Superstar DJ. {Enter The Multiverse} [The Festival Project.™] COPYRIGHT © THE FESTIVAL PROJECT 2024 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. ©

It's much easier to point out when someone else makes a mistake or is acting out of character than it is to check yourself. In today's episode, I talk about holding ourselves accountable and checking ourselves when we're not being the best that we can be. It's important to take a step back and look at how we're behaving and how we're treating others. It's not enough to talk about how good of a person you are; you also need to show up as her.

The central bankers at the Federal Reserve are saying one thing and doing another. They're telling us that the economy is great and inflation isn't completely dead. But they're acting like the economy is crashing and inflation doesn't matter. In this episode of the Money Metals' Midweek Memo, host Mike Maharrey breaks Federal Reserve officials' words and actions and reminds us that actions speak louder than words. He also delves into the impact of the recent pivot in Fed monetary policy on financial markets, including gold, silver, and stocks.

Welcome to episode #100! Thank you for sticking with me through 100 episodes of this podcast journey. This episode marks a special milestone—my continued conversation with Suzy, where we dive deep into the theme "Talk is Cheap, Actions Speak Louder than Words." Yes, it's a powerful message, and I'm thrilled to share it with you. We often hear the saying, "Listen closely with your eyes." This episode is all about that—paying attention to the actions around us and the stories they tell. Suzy and I discuss how actions reveal true intentions and character far more than words ever could. Reflecting on my past journals, I talk about the importance of not comparing one circumstance to another. Life gives us trials, but we are equipped to handle them. Comparing our past selves to our present can be a trap; instead, we should embrace our journey and growth. Join us in this episode, part two of two, of Life Lessons with Suzy and Toks.

John 13:34-35Authentic love is unconditional and unselfish. It can change lives.
Roughly three million Americans live with a stutter, with many suffering in silence -- fearing potential judgement, being told it 'isn't a big deal,' or not knowing where to go for resources. Former NBA Basketball Player Michael Kidd-Gilchrist knows this suffering all too well, especially after being thrown in the limelight of professional sports. So now, he's made it his mission to provide resources, educate, and break the stigma around stutters. Michael joins Ben to discuss how his stutter has deeply impacted his life and why it led him to create 'Change & Impact,' a non-profit that educates, raises awareness, and provides resources for those with stutters.

We tend to like an "eye for an eye" justice. But Jesus teaches something that revolutionizes the way we should handle conflict. This week, Charles Tapp continues this series on "The Standards of Jesus" and reveals a more powerful response when someone has hurt us with his message "Actions Speak Louder Than Words."

Have you ever tried to help a loved one by telling them about a better way? Yeah, it doesn't work very well, does it? In today's episode, host Travis Shelton explains why our words often don't make the impact we desire…..and in many cases, can have a negative effect. Instead of telling people what to do, we should simply show them through our own actions. When we live these meaning over money principles, other people can't help but notice. Our lived example is more powerful than any words that could come out of our mouths.
