Podcasts about Agape

In this powerful and thought-provoking talk, Rev. Lee Wolak explores why living authentically in today's world requires deep self-worth, courage, and unwavering commitment. Modern culture constantly pressures us to conform, perform, and seek approval, slowly pulling us away from our true nature. This talk challenges you to question those standards, reclaim your inner authority, and live from alignment rather than expectation.  Sign up for my daily thought and weekly newsletter by clicking this link: https://www.agapespiritualcenter.com/free-affirmations If you find value in what Agape offers—spiritually, emotionally, and in community—consider becoming a supporting member.

In this powerful and grounded talk, Rev. Lee Wolak explores the truth that life evolves as we evolve—and why nothing in your life was ever meant to stay the same. Drawing from Zen wisdom, spiritual science, and lived experience, this talk challenges the fear of change and reframes transformation as a natural, intelligent response to inner growth. Change isn't a problem to solve; it's proof you're alive and evolving.

Dave Schwartz had all the signs of worldly success. He was a high-level officer with a Fortune 500 company in the insurance and financial services industry for 25 years before starting a breakaway firm with a friend which grew to a hundred employees in three different states. Life was good. But after some deep, personal valleys—including two open-heart surgeries—God got Dave's attention in a powerful way and helped him to see that a check-the-box religion wasn't cutting it and something needed to change. Inspired by his now-wife's deep contentment and relationship with God, Dave also began to pursue a deeper relationship himself.   Selling interest in the company he helped start, Dave transitioned to the nonprofit sector where he vetted partners and handled donor funds. He then was invited to lead the missions programs at their church. Little did Dave know that this was laying the foundations for a God-sized vision on the other side of the world.   Dave and his wife became close with a Liberian family from their church, and in 2021, they had an opportunity to travel to Liberia, the eighth poorest country in the world. Experiencing the extreme poverty at an orphanage there planted a strong desire to do something to uplift the children of Liberia without just giving out hand-me-downs.   Now, after a few years of divine connections and miraculous generosity, ground will soon be broken for the Agape Empowerment Center, a 15-acre campus designed to raise Christ-centered Liberian leaders through housing, education, and holistic care. If you've ever wondered what it's like to build a vision from scratch, this episode is for you.   Major Topics Include: Becoming envious of contentment How the God-sized vision came together Governance, structure, and transparency  Giving a hand up without creating a cycle of dependency Building a culture one grade at a time Involving locals in the mission A hopeful view of the next 5 to 10 years How this experience has deepened Dave's faith The vision for agricultural and manufacturing enterprise zones Building community through collaboration Examining the ROI of philanthropic dollars QUOTES TO REMEMBER “Laying in the hospital in 2012, recovering from my second open-heart surgery, I realized it was time to make a change.” “What is a true relationship with our Savior versus a religious ‘check-the-box'?” “As I started to change from religion to a relationship with Jesus, contentment started to creep into my life and I had never really experienced that before.” “Liberia is the eighth poorest country in the world. Per person income on an annual basis is $530 USD.” “I made the very Western throw-away comment of ‘Gosh, Honey, someone's gotta do something about this.' Without missing a beat, my wife says, ‘What about us?' And that's how the Agape Empowerment Center got started.” “If we want them to become the best and to be Christ-centered children, well-educated, then let's start treating them like the best and stop just giving them our hand-me-downs.” “In five or ten years, I see children with joy and hope in their lives.” “I have learned that I absolutely have no control. I think I do, but I don't. And at the end of the day, this is God's plan or it's not. I just hope to be able to help implement it.” “I'm not going to retire, I'm going to re-fire.” LINKS FROM THE SHOW Agape Empowerment Center When Helping Hurts (see our interview with coauthor Brian Fikkert) Convoy of Hope The Finish Line Community Facebook Group The Finish Line Community LinkedIn Group WE WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU!

Our first Life Question comes from Jade in Alexandria, VA: After years of suppressing childhood pain, Jade is now confronting the truth about her father's long-standing dysfunction—infidelity, alcoholism, and a toxic blended family. She wants to have a healthy relationship only with him, but how can she navigate authenticity, boundaries, and spiritual growth when family pressure runs deep? Next, Shay wonders whether it's possible to feel both genuine gratitude and genuine dislike at the same time—especially when her new home, while a blessing, also triggers feelings of lack because it wasn't the house she truly wanted. Does her mixed emotions sabotage her spiritual practice?

Today, Michael welcomes Garry Lineham, co-founder of Human Garage, a global movement empowering people to restore health and alignment through self-directed healing. A former data encryption expert, Garry transitioned from designing secure communication systems to decoding the body's own network of fascia, discovering parallels between digital systems and human biomechanics. His groundbreaking approach, Fascial Maneuvers, integrates breath, movement, and intention to release tension, regulate the nervous system, and realign the body. With over 200,000 realignment sessions worldwide and more than 40 million practitioners globally, Garry's work bridges technology, AI, and human potential, positioning the body as the most advanced self-healing system on the planet. Join Michael and Garry for the 28-Day Global Reset! Get the details here: https://humangarage.net/agape.  Conversation highlights include: * A clear upgrade from the "animal model" of the body to fascia as a structural + signaling network for real-world healing  * How Garry's path—from data encryption to Human Garage—led to decoding the body like a network * The cost of chasing symptoms (even after $2.5M spent) vs. changing the model and methods * Why fascia behaves like a crystalline matrix that organizes posture, breath, and nervous-system coherence * Pain as guidance (not the enemy) and why numbing creates a two-year relapse loop * A daily fascia-maneuver sequence that compounds results and returns sovereignty over health * "Issues in the tissues": how stored emotions/trauma unwind over 18–24 months, unlocking latent capacities * The role of minerals & hydration in signal quality (RO water concerns, 102-mineral approach, tissue hydration) * The free 15-Minute Stress Reset (rib/diaphragm opening) that can release ~75% stress quickly Next, Michael leads a guided meditation to "tune the broadcast" of your day.

In this powerful spiritual talk, Everything Starts with Self-Restraint, Rev. Lee Wolak breaks down one of the most underestimated spiritual principles: the ability to pause, breathe, and choose consciously instead of reacting on autopilot. In a world where everyone is triggered, rushing, and emotionally overloaded, self-restraint becomes a spiritual superpower. It's the gateway to clarity, inner peace, and authentic personal transformation. This video dives deep into how self-restraint shapes your vibration, your relationships, your decision-making, and the quality of your entire life. You'll learn why your spiritual evolution depends on your ability to redirect your energy, interrupt old patterns, and make aligned choices instead of fear-driven ones. When you master restraint, you stop leaking power… and start creating life from intentional consciousness rather than survival programming. Whether you're on a path of awakening, exploring mindfulness, expanding self-awareness, or wanting to live from inner truth rather than emotional reactivity, this talk will guide you into a bold, grounded, spiritually aligned understanding of how restraint unlocks freedom. Perfect for anyone seeking spiritual growth, conscious living, emotional mastery, clarity, empowerment, and deeper self-understanding.   Sign up for my daily thought and weekly newsletter by clicking this link: https://www.agapespiritualcenter.com/free-affirmations If you find value in what Agape offers—spiritually, emotionally, and in community—consider becoming a supporting member.

"Protecting the Light Within" explores one of the most overlooked spiritual truths: your vibration speaks louder than your words. In this video, Rev Lee Wolak breaks down why energetic clarity, spiritual boundaries, and vibrational self-mastery are essential if you want to live an awakened, empowered, and aligned life.

This talk reveals how to maintain a high vibration, stay grounded in inner truth, and cultivate spiritual awareness that naturally shapes your outer world. You'll learn how to recognize energy leaks, reclaim your personal power, and step into a life aligned with clarity, intention, and self-honoring presence. If you're ready to understand how conscious energy management transforms relationships, clarity, purpose, and peace, this message will resonate deeply. Perfect for anyone seeking spiritual growth, energy healing, conscious living, and the inner work of awakening.
