Podcasts about anxious world

Another school year is here, and with it comes full calendars, long to-do lists, and the constant pull of busy mom life. But what about your quiet time with God? In this episode of the Drive Thru Moms podcast, Lynn shares her personal journey of building a consistent one-on-one time with the Lord—beyond Bible study groups and church sign-ups.She walks through 6 practical and grace-filled steps to help you create a sustainable daily rhythm in God's presence, no matter your season. Whether you're a busy mom, an empty nester, or somewhere in between, you'll leave encouraged to start small and stay faithful.

In this eye-opening episode of The 1000 Hours Outside Podcast, Dr. Madeline Levine, one of the leading voices in parenting, returns for her second appearance to share vital insights on how anxiety is stunting both children and parents in today's fast-paced world. From hyper-parenting to the pursuit of perfection, Dr. Levine explores the damage done when we allow our own worries to dictate how we parent, urging us to embrace a long-term view on success. With over 45 years of experience in child development, she offers invaluable wisdom on how play, emotional intelligence, and resilience should take precedence over grades and accolades. As she puts it, “Healthy development takes more than high grades,” and “Kids are entitled to a childhood.” Dr. Levine emphasizes the crucial role parents play in fostering autonomy in their children—ultimately creating a sense of security and self-reliance that can only come from a thriving home environment. She champions the idea that enthusiasm, creativity, and a rich sense of purpose in parents are key to raising resilient, well-rounded kids. Parents, she reminds us, are entitled to a life of their own, and when they model a thriving, well-balanced existence, their children are empowered to do the same. This episode is a powerful call to shift our focus from external pressures to what really matters: the health, happiness, and well-being of our families in an uncertain world.

As moms, we may not wear crowns, but we carry influence that echoes for generations. In this episode, we look at how the Bible speaks about kings—some who led their people into righteousness, and others whose disobedience led entire nations into sin. What can we learn from their leadership about our role as mothers?Scripture reminds us that “the people followed their king into sin” (see 1 Kings, 2 Chronicles), showing the ripple effect of a leader's choices. As moms, our spiritual leadership—whether quiet or visible—shapes the atmosphere of our homes and the hearts of our children.We'll dive into:What kind of "kingdom" are we building?The legacy we're leaving through everyday decisions.How our obedience or disobedience to God influences those entrusted to us.If you've ever wondered whether your choices really matter—this episode is for you.

As we celebrate freedom this Fourth of July, this episode of the Summer of Scripture series invites us to pause and reflect on where our true independence begins—not in a nation, but in a surrendered heart.Pulled from a devotional in my book, Faithful Before, Faithful Again, we'll talk about what it really looks like to be faithful in our priorities and how putting God first gives meaning to all the other freedoms we enjoy.

In today's fast-changing world, leaders are expected to navigate complexity, make high-stakes decisions, and provide clarity—even when certainty is impossible. But how can leaders embrace ambiguity without losing their strategic edge? In this episode of Partnering Leadership, host Mahan Tavakoli sits down with Jennifer Garvey Berger, a world-renowned leadership expert and the author of Changing on the Job: How Leaders Become Courageous, Wise, and Steady in an Anxious World.Jennifer has spent decades studying leadership development, complexity theory, and the psychological barriers that hold leaders back. She challenges conventional leadership wisdom, arguing that the strategies that once worked—providing clear-cut answers, setting rigid goals, and optimizing efficiency—are now outdated. Instead, she offers a compelling vision for leaders who want to increase their adaptability, enhance their decision-making, and transform uncertainty into opportunity.In this conversation, Jennifer and Mahan explore why leaders feel overwhelmed by complexity, how our brains instinctively react to uncertainty, and what it takes to break free from reactive leadership patterns. She introduces the three stages of leadership mindset evolution and explains why some leaders stay stuck in old ways of thinking while others thrive. Jennifer also discusses the pitfalls of chasing externally defined success and offers powerful questions leaders should be asking themselves to ensure they are driving meaningful impact.If you've ever felt the pressure to have all the answers, struggled to balance clarity with ambiguity, or wondered how to lead when the future feels unpredictable, this episode is packed with insights designed to shift your perspective. Jennifer Garvey Berger's expertise provides a practical and thought-provoking roadmap for leaders looking to navigate complexity with confidence.Actionable Takeaways:Why "business as usual" leadership fails in today's world – Hear how traditional leadership habits are making it harder for executives to succeed in complexity.The biggest mistake leaders make when facing uncertainty – Learn what top leaders do differently to remain agile and adaptive.How your brain is working against you in complexity – Discover how your nervous system reacts to uncertainty and how to retrain your thinking for better decision-making.Are you chasing success—or someone else's version of it? – Jennifer shares a powerful framework for reassessing your goals and ensuring they align with what truly matters.The three leadership mindsets—and why most leaders never evolve past the second stage – Understand what keeps some leaders stuck and how to unlock the mindset shift needed to lead in complexity.Why AI won't replace leadership—but will change what great leaders must do – Explore how the rise of AI is reshaping leadership and what skills will become essential.The feedback paradox—why leaders avoid it and why they must embrace it – Hear why feedback is the most underutilized tool for leadership growth and how to create a feedback-rich culture.The balancing act: providing clarity without false certainty – Learn how to communicate a strong vision while staying open to change.A simple shift to improve your leadership today – Try this one practical exercise to increase your strategic thinking and avoid reactive decision-making.Connect with Jennifer Garvey BergerJennifer Garvey Berger WebConnect with Mahan Tavakoli: Mahan Tavakoli Website Mahan Tavakoli on LinkedIn Partnering Leadership Website

In this sermon, pastor Chad Hendley discusses a biblical perspective on fear, anxiety, and worry. Learn more in this message preached to Hillside Baptist Church in Eastman, GA on 12/29/24. www.hillsideeastman.com

In this message series, we explore how to find peace despite the situations, anxiety, stress, or challenges in this world. Mental health issues are at all-time highs, and the Bible provides answers to anchor us in the middle of uncertainty. Listen to each week of this series and prepare your hearts and minds for true peace this Christmas. This week, Terrence leads us in a message focused on the Gospel over Grief. Grief is often associated with the loss of a loved one but can take on many forms of loss - a job, a house, a divorce, a dream, and other forms. At these times, we are called to lean into loss and walk through this with Jesus. In this world, you will have trouble, but take heart. You will be heartbroken, and you will face challenges, but there is one who will journey with you through them. In these moments, Terrence encourages us to go to God, saying, " Reconcile me and use me today. I am confident that you will find a way for me in the future." Hand over your pain. Psalm 25:8 shows the heart of God. He is big enough. We worship Him because he became a man who knew suffering and rose again so that we might find peace in an anxious world. May your struggles keep you near the cross, and may your bad days prove that God is good. May your whole life prove that God is good.

Her clients include Google, Microsoft, Novartis, Wikipedia, and Oxfam International. She is the author of four leadership books, including now in it's second edition, Changing on the Job: How Leaders Become Courageous, Wise, and Steady in an Anxious World*. We often think about feedback as something we give to someone else. What if, in addition to that, feedback is an opportunity for both parties to learn and grow. In this conversation, Jennifer and I explore how this can open a door to some of the best leadership work we do. Key Points If we view feedback as only giving our truth to someone else, we've missed a huge opportunity for growth. Start by separating what happened from the interpretation of what happened. Asking Get curious about your own response: what made you react so strongly? Talk it out. You have to welcome someone else into your thinking if you're going to really learn. Invite in how the other person sees the situation. Consider saying, “I'm really interested in what this looked like from your perspective.” The process of unwinding what you hear is the good work of leadership and some the best work you can do.

This weekend, Tyler reflects on Luke 2, recounting the birth of Jesus and its profound connection to finding meaning amidst a world of apathy, anxiety, and distractions. The pervasive issue of "meh"—emotional apathy or languishing—has become one of today's significant spiritual challenges, alongside a broader lack of purpose. While the holiday season is culturally celebrated as a time of joy, it often amplifies feelings of emptiness, as many find themselves overwhelmed by distractions and trivialities. However, the message of Jesus's birth reveals a deeper truth: true meaning is found in sacrificial love for God and others. By embracing God's purpose and living with intentionality and sacrifice, we can counter apathy and discover lasting peace and joy. This Christmas, let us look beyond the noise and busyness of the season, rediscovering the hope and purpose that come through the birth of Christ.

Tyler continued in our Finding Peace in an Anxious World series focusing on Self-Denial over Self-Indulgence. He emphasized the dangers of materialism, and the transformative power of generosity and contentment rooted in faith. It begins with a reminder that worldly possessions are temporary and encourages gratitude for basic needs, warning against the destructive allure of wealth and comparison. Instead, true wealth is found in contentment, generosity, and faith. Jesus gave up the treasures of heaven to make you His treasure. What you need is not simply to resist money, what you need is to replace it entirely as the source of your deepest desires. When you see God dying to make you His treasure, money will cease to be the currency of your significance, or your security, or your comfort. When you grasp the gospel, money loses its grasp over you. So, think on His costly grace, and it'll change you into a giver. "You know the generous grace of our Lord Jesus Christ. Though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, so that by his poverty he could make you rich." - 2 Corinthians 8:9

This weekend, we began our mental health series on Finding Peace in an Anxious World as we prepare for the Christmas season. Drawing from John 1:1-18, Tyler emphasized Jesus as the Word—Creator, incarnate Savior, and source of spiritual rebirth— he contrasted the fleeting solutions offered by secular worldviews with the enduring hope and peace found through faith in Christ. As we approach Christmas, Tyler challenged us to reflect deeply on our lives, embrace faith, and consider baptism as a step toward regeneration and healing. He reminded us that rediscovering Jesus as the heart of Christmas offers lasting joy, purpose, and hope. The true essence of Christmas lies in the transformative power of the Gospel—a gift that renews our hearts and minds and points us to the ultimate source of peace in an anxious world.
