Podcasts about acts of service

In this episode of the Tactical Living Podcast, hosts Coach Ashlie Walton and Sergeant Clint Walton dive into the impact of acts of service (Amazon Affiliate) in first responder relationships. When one partner works a high-stress, demanding job, small gestures of support can make a huge difference in reducing stress and fostering connection. Something as simple as packing their lunch or helping prep their uniform can ease their mental load and show that you have their back—even when the job is overwhelming. In this episode, we explore five simple yet powerful ways you can support your first responder spouse and why these small acts lead to a healthier, stronger relationship. 1. Why Acts of Service Matter in First Responder Marriages First responders often carry the weight of their jobs home with them, making stress management crucial for both partners. Small, thoughtful gestures can lessen decision fatigue, increase connection, and create a sense of teamwork in the relationship. 2. Five Simple Ways to Support Your First Responder Spouse 1. Packing Their Lunch or Meal Prepping for the Week Example: Preparing a healthy lunch or meal prepping ensures they have nutritious food instead of relying on fast food or skipping meals. Why It's Beneficial: Saves time and money during long shifts. Ensures they have energy to stay focused on the job. A small way to show love and care in a tangible way. 2. Prepping Their Uniform and Gear Example: Having their uniform ready, boots polished, and gear in order means they can start their shift stress-free. Why It's Beneficial: Reduces morning chaos and rushing before work. Helps them feel put together and confident. One less thing for them to worry about after a long shift. 3. Taking Care of Errands and Household Tasks Example: Handling grocery shopping, bills, or minor home repairs so they don't have to worry about it after an exhausting shift. Why It's Beneficial: Allows them to truly rest when they're home instead of feeling like they have another job waiting for them. Keeps the household running smoothly, reducing stress for both partners. 4. Creating a Quiet and Relaxing Home Environment Example: If they worked a night shift, ensuring the house stays quiet during their sleep hours. Why It's Beneficial: Helps maximize rest and recovery, which is crucial for performance on the job. Creates a peaceful retreat for them to decompress from work stress. 5. Offering Emotional Support Without Needing to "Fix" Everything Example: Simply listening when they vent instead of trying to give advice or solve their problems. Why It's Beneficial: Allows them to process emotions in a safe space. Strengthens trust and emotional connection in the relationship. Reinforces that they don't have to carry everything alone. 3. How Small Acts Create a Bigger Impact in Relationships These small gestures add up over time, creating a sense of partnership and support. A relationship built on mutual care and service is stronger and more resilient. 4. Why It's Not About Gender Roles—It's About Teamwork Acts of service aren't about traditional roles—they're about lightening the load for each other in whatever way works best for your relationship. 5. How to Incorporate These Habits Without Feeling Like a Burden Start small and simple—acts of service should be genuine, not forced. Ask your spouse what would help them the most. What seems small to you might be a huge relief for them. Why This Matters: Being in a relationship with a first responder means understanding the stress and demands of their job. By offering small but meaningful acts of service, you can ease their daily burdens, improve their well-being, and create a more connected, fulfilling relationship. Listen now to learn how these simple acts can transform your relationship!

I saw a TikTok about how your toxic traits can be the exact opposite of your love language, and I CANNOT stop thinking about it. If you're stuck in a cycle of self-sabotage, your toxic behaviours might be the inverse of your love language — aka your loathe language.

What if your life's mission was to give it all away? Strap in—this one's a wild ride. Imagine quitting your six-figure job, giving away your life savings, and betting it all on helping strangers—just because you feel called to do it. That's exactly what Travis Settineri aka Travis Doodles did. From buying gas and groceries for strangers to starting a full-blown Generosity Ministry that transforms lives, Travis isn't just doing good—he's leading a movement. You could say he “doodled outside the lines”.

Listen to today's podcast... Some say that romance is dead. I don't think that it's dead. I just think that our expectations have been lowered. Quick and convenient has polluted our relationships to the point where the effort of being truly romantic is seen as being over the top. We settle for emoji's, watching TV together, and hanging out. Romance is so much more. Take One Action Today To Build Your #Resiliency! Here are today's Tips For Building Resiliency and Celebrating National Resurrect Romance Week: Remind your significant other as to why you cherish them in the first place. Romance takes effort and a dash of creativity. Here are some suggestions based on the Love Languages that got me thinking: Verbal appreciation is extremely powerful towards those who have Words of Affirmation as their primary love language. How about leaving a sweet or sexy note in their coat or on the dashboard of their car? Acts Of Service might be breakfast in bed or even making the bed. For those you appreciate Gift Giving, try to think of a meaningful gift, that doesn't cost anything. Be creative like framing a favourite picture of the two of you. Quality Time together might be setting up a date night, complete with dressing up. Or going out on an unplanned adventure together. And for the fifth love language of Physical Touch you may try a foot massage or just holding your special someone's hand while you drive. Finally, remember that little romantic gestures here and there won't make an ounce of difference to the quality of your relationship if, the rest of the time, you treat your partner in unloving, negative and disrespectful ways.

Have you ever sat down for a lunch that altered the trajectory of your life? Our guest Ann would answer with a resounding "yes," as she shares the unfolding of her remarkable journey from a simple meal to dedicating herself to the service of Haiti's most vulnerable. Ann's narrative is a stirring testament to the power of turning ordinary encounters into paths of profound change. Her annual pilgrimages to a Haitian village showcase the incredible difference one person's nurturing heart and steadfast spirit can make. From the joyous task of buying goods from local elders to the more complex endeavor of providing mattresses to orphanages, Ann's experiences are a beacon of hope, reflecting the immense ripple effect of kindness.There's an unspoken challenge in Ann's tales: to remember gratitude amidst abundance and to seek fulfillment in lifting others. We are reminded that the comforts we often take for granted, like running water and household appliances, are luxuries in many parts of the world. Through Ann's passion and action, we witness the extraordinary impact that arises when we let our lives reflect a greater glory, encouraging all of us to spread kindness and build hope in our own corners of the world. 

In this inspiring episode of The Light Watkins Show, Light engages in a deep and revealing conversation with Laura Del Valle and her daughter, Angelica, the visionaries behind Mar de Jade, a unique retreat center in Nayarit, Mexico. Laura's journey began in the bustling streets of Mexico City, where she shifted from acting to medicine, driven by a desire to serve the rural poor. Despite her family's concerns about her unconventional path, Laura's commitment to her purpose led her to establish a medical clinic in a remote beach town, which eventually evolved into the thriving retreat center known as Mar de Jade.Angelica, growing up in this environment of service and simplicity, brings her own perspectives on integrating community, sustainability, and education into the retreat's ethos. Mar de Jade is not just a retreat center but a community hub where education, organic farming, and skilled trades flourish, supported by the proceeds from the retreats and donations from a global community.This episode is not just the story of a retreat center but a testament to the power of following one's path, overcoming obstacles, and making a profound impact on a community. It's about finding freedom outside conventional life paths and discovering that service to others enriches one's own life in unexpected ways. Join us as Laura and Angelica share their remarkable journey of faith, resilience, and the creation of a sanctuary that not only heals but also empowers its community.For anyone feeling stuck or uncertain in their journey, this episode is a reminder that sometimes the most unconventional paths lead to the most fulfilling destinations.

How often have we slowed down the pace of our lives enough to notice the small acts of service we can perform for others?Those small acts for us often have a larger impact on those who receive them. All we have to do is notice what we can do for others to make a large, positive impact on them and eventually our whole community.There is a challenge in the video. Start small and then build up to multiple acts. Whether they are small gifts or physical help they create small ripples that grow larger over time. Our actions influence the actions of others.

Podcast Episode Title: "The Art of Giving: Exploring Acts of Service as a Love Language" Description: In this heartwarming episode of "Mr. and Mrs. Therapy," we delve into the transformative power of Acts of Service, one of the core love languages identified by Dr. Gary Chapman. Acts of Service transcend the mundane tasks of daily life, embodying gestures of love that speak volumes to those who cherish this language above all. Join us as we uncover the essence of Acts of Service—where actions speak louder than words and every deed is a profound expression of love. We'll explore how these thoughtful acts, from preparing a favorite meal to taking over a daunting task, can significantly strengthen the bonds of a relationship. Our discussion will guide you through understanding the nuances of Acts of Service, including how to recognize if this is your or your partner's primary love language, and the common pitfalls to avoid.

In this special Thanksgiving episode, we are sharing about the immense value of serving others together in marriage. While the holiday may look different for all of us this year, we want to encourage you with the blessings, unity and purpose that come from adopting a lifestyle of service as a couple.We start by reflecting on our own journey of serving in various capacities over the years - from youth ministry, to nonprofits, to family and friends. Making service a shared activity has built life-giving memories and given us a shared mission. But for a season when we struggled relationally, our eyes turned inward and serving dried up.Serving is a powerful antidote to many marriage issues. It builds unity as you work as a team. It provides perspective when you pour into others' lives. It gives opportunity to utilize your unique gifts and talents together. And most importantly, it allows you to follow Jesus' example and model servant leadership in the way He perfectly lived it out.In Mark 10 and other passages, Christ makes it clear that His entire mission on earth was to serve and “give his life as a ransom for many.” Washing His disciples feet, He told them to follow His model of humble service to one another. When we serve others from a place of humility and sacrifice like Jesus, amazing things happen in our own hearts.Some benefits of consistently serving together include: deepening intimacy and friendship, creating life-long memories, teaching important values to your kids, gaining inspiration for your relationship, blessing your community, and discovering purpose.As you reflect this Thanksgiving, we encourage you to prayerfully consider what adopting a lifestyle of service might look like for your marriage.
