“I don't care what people think.” It sounds bold, even freeing—but is it true? In Part 2 of The Lies We Love, Discipleship Pastor Ryan Akers exposes this common phrase for what it really is: a mask for our deep desire to be liked, accepted, and approved. This message dives into how people-pleasing can trap us, distort our purpose, and become a subtle form of idolatry. Discover the freedom that comes not from chasing the approval of others, but in living from the approval of God that we already have.

Welcome to the Daily Disciple Podcast. As daily disciples, we seek to adore and follow Jesus, our teacher, into the abundant life that he offers. Because we find Jesus to be irresistible and fascinating and incredibly practical, we want to be students of his scripture. Today's episode is found in 2 Samuel 6 "Audience of One"
In this sermon from Acts chapter 7, we explore the powerful story of Stephen, one of the early church's first martyrs.Described as a young man full of grace and power, and importantly, full of the Holy Spirit, Stephen boldly preached about Jesus to a diverse and often hostile crowd. His message, a phenomenal summary of the Old Testament, challenged his listeners, who responded with rage and accusations when he wouldn't stop talking about Jesus.Stephen's martyrdom reveals that the gospel message of Jesus Christ cannot be stopped, and for believers, to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord.Biblical References:Acts 7:54-60Acts chapter 7Acts chapter 6Acts 7:1-50Acts 7:51-53Acts 7:55-56Acts 7:57-58Hebrews 11:1Isaiah 6Revelation 4:2Hebrews 12:2
And whatsoever you do in word or deed do so as unto God. He is always watching and listening.
In this episode, we explore Jesus' powerful words from Matthew 6:1–18, where He calls His followers to live not for human applause, but for the approval of the Father who sees in secret. Too often, our spiritual lives can become a performance for others—but Jesus invites us into a deeper, more authentic walk with God. Join us as we unpack what it means to give, pray, and fast in secret; how to guard against spiritual showmanship; and how to cultivate a hidden life of worship. Discover how living for an “Audience of One” brings lasting reward, freedom from comparison, and intimacy with God. Key Takeaways: • Why motives matter more than appearances • How secret disciplines deepen your faith • The beauty of living for God's eyes only Whether you're a seasoned believer or just starting your walk with Jesus, this message will encourage you to seek the Father in the quiet places—because that's where the true reward is found. Scripture Focus: Matthew 6:1–18

Perform for Your Audience of One by Sonrise Church
Mike Smailes preaches on giving, praying and fasting from Matthew 6
Our true fulfillment in life comes when we start trusting and fixing our eyes on Jesus. He is our One true audience who only wants us to have faith to please Him. “And without faith it is impossible to please Him, for whoever would draw near to God must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who seek him” (Hebrews 11:6, ESV).All Rights Reserved, CBN Asia Inc.https://www.cbnasia.com/giveSupport the show
Pastor Kelly Soiles encourages us to see worship not as passive observation but as an active, heartfelt offering to God. He reminds us that when we express our praise, whether during a formal service or in our everyday lives, we become the performers for an audience that truly matters.
The Journey to Becoming | Self Improvement, Productivity, Lower Stress
In this powerful episode of The Journey to Becoming Podcast, I sit down with fashion content creator Vanessa Moynihan, who shares her incredible testimony of coming to faith after growing up in a home where God was never discussed. Vanessa skyrocketed to success as a fashion influencer, going viral and amassing a huge following on social media. Yet, despite the fame and opportunities, she felt an emptiness she couldn't ignore. It wasn't until she hired someone to help with her social media – who happened to be a strong believer – that she was introduced to Jesus in a life-changing way. In our conversation, Vanessa opens up about: ✨ How she navigated the tension between social media success and her newfound faith ✨ The moment she realized that no amount of influence could fill the void only God could ✨ Why being rooted in authentic community has been essential to her spiritual growth ✨ Practical tips on how to start—even when you feel like a failure or fear failing ✨ What it truly means to live for the audience of One rather than the approval of the world If you've ever struggled with fear of failure, seeking validation from others, or feeling like you don't know where to start in your faith journey, this episode is for you. Vanessa's story is a beautiful reminder that no matter where you come from, God's love can meet you exactly where you are.

As we step into the new year - whether you're leaping into it action and going after your dreams, or taking a Slowanuary approach to the start of the year - I wanted to give you a big dose of inspiration - something to remind you of the magic we hold as human beings, when we embrace wonder, play and possibility, to encourage you to use that magic this year.And who better to guide us in rediscovering that magic than the International Woman of Wonder herself, Tiu de Haan? Tiu is a ritual designer, creative facilitator, and idea doula who has worked with an incredible range of clients over the past 20 years - from Google and the UN to L'Oréal and the Ministry of Justice. Her work involves creating transformative rituals and experiences that help people play, get creative, and shift their perspectives in profound ways.But today, we're diving into a story that even Tiu, someone who lives and breathes magic, wonder and transformation, describes as one of the most extraordinary, life-changing experience she's ever had…On the 24th May 2024, Tiu was immersed in a 36 hour transformational experience that had been created by 15 strangers who had spent months studying her, interviewing her, her friends and family so that they could create a unique and transformational experience solely for her - an experience so personal that no one else, not even the creators, witnessed it in its entirety. When Tiu first told me about it, I was amazed and baffled in equal measure. How incredible for fifteen strangers to dedicate so much time to creating a one day transformative experience for someone they didn't even know, when they weren't even getting paid for it. But why did they do it? And most important of all, what happened during those 36 hours, because Tiu really did come back profoundly changed by the experience. And so she suggested we hit record and she share every detail of this remarkable journey. And so that is what we did.In this episode we explore:* What Odyssey Works is all about and why they go around getting strangers to spend months creating a one-off experience for an audience of one. Free of charge.* How Tiu got picked to be that audience of one and why she wanted to do it.* How the experience unfolded step by step—and how it utterly transformed Tiu's life.This is the longest episode I have ever put out into the world, but I didn't want to cut it down because every moment of this story needed to be told. Plus I figured, as we ease ourselves gently into a new year, why not immerse ourselves into a long juicy conversation about the power of collaboration, creativity, play, transformation, wonder and giving? So, without further ado, here's my conversation with the extraordinary Tiu de Haan. Enjoy - and don't forget to check the show notes for links to everything we discuss, including The Odyssey, Tiu's work, and the powerful track by VLMV.Let's dive in!x SelinaP.S.

"Bait for the Curious" We're no strangers to covering secretive experiences. Escape rooms continue to guard their mysteries closely, because a large part of the joy is in the discovery. And yet, because escape rooms generally follow a relatively standard structure, we have a framework when it comes to discussing them. Interviewing Yannick Trapman-O'brien was a bit of a gamble. We knew that we couldn't explain how any of his immersive shows worked. As Yannick puts it in the episode: “It's the quantum problem. You change the result by measuring it. By defining what the thing is, you change what the thing is, because it is responsive. It's a Rorschach test, because it is ultimately a piece that you have to come and complete.” And yet, even though we can't tell you how Yannick's shows work, we can tell you a few things. They are usually designed for an audience of one. They are deeply personal, with a strong sense of agency and co-authorship between the audience and the performer. There is an invitation to be vulnerable, all within a structure carefully designed to earn that trust. Solo moments and theater for one are intimate experiences fraught with both excitement and risk. I deeply enjoyed hearing Yannick explain how to craft shows in a manner that honors the vulnerability of the participant. There is something profound and inspiring about his design philosophy. I hope you enjoy this episode as much as we enjoyed recording it.

As the “voice of the Denver Nuggets,” team chaplain Kyle Speller is most known for his rip-roaring, public address announcing during the championship basketball club’s games. “Let’s go!” he thunders into the mic, and thousands of onsite NBA fans, as well as millions more watching or listening to the action, react to the voice that earned Speller nomination as the 2022 All-Star Game PA Announcer. “I know how to feel the crowd and kind of set that home court atmosphere,” he says. Still, every word of his voice artistry—featured also in TV and radio commercials—is to glorify God. His work, Speller adds, is “just doing everything for an audience of One.” The apostle Paul stressed a similar ethic to the Colossian church, whose members let doubts about Christ’s divinity and sovereignty seep into even their practical lives. Instead, wrote Paul, in “whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him” (Colossians 3:17). Paul added, “Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters” (v. 23). For Kyle Speller, that includes his role as a chaplain, of which he says, “That’s kind of my purpose here . . . and the announcing is the icing on the cake.” Our own work for God can be just as sweet for our audience of One.
HT2034 - An Audience of One In a conversation the other day, a photographer was making a case for large prints on the wall because they could be viewed simultaneously by a group of people. Viewing such artwork, he emphasized, becomes a social activity. Maybe that's another reason why I tend not to make prints for the wall.

If the spirit of the world lies in opposition to the spirit of God, how then can we wake up to the voice of God in the midst of the noise of culture in order to be in the world but not of it? In this incredible message, Ps. Jenny examines how the word of God brings clarity on how to live for an audience of one.
991. This week, we trace the origin and meaning of the word "dog," from its mysterious beginning to its current use in phrases like "hot dog" and "hair of the dog." Then we go through the "audience of one" concept, which involves tailoring content to a single, imagined recipient; and we look at how this approach can make your writing more understandable and engaging.The dog segment was written by Valerie Fridland, a professor of linguistics at the University of Nevada in Reno and the author of "Like, Literally, Dude: Arguing for the Good in Bad English." A version of the piece originally appeared on Psychology Today, and you can find her at valeriefridland.com.| Edited transcript with links: https://grammar-girl.simplecast.com/episodes/hotdog/transcript| Please take our advertising survey.
