"In 1994, at age 40, Pastor Richard Gazowsky saw his first movie. Later that year, he received a vision from God." So begins the saga of AUDIENCE OF ONE, a brilliant documentary that serves as a cultural Rosetta stone for our podcast, an intimate portrait of where faith in God meets faith in movies. It's both a monument to the power of belief and a sobering testimony of how unchecked pride can poison spiritual authority. Director Michael Jacobs was given deep access to Gazowsky, his family, and his church (Voice of Pentecost, San Francisco). The film opens as the congregation-turned-film crew prepares their first feature. Having felt "called" by God to make a movie, Gazowsky appoints himself director and enlists family, parishioners, and a few hired outsiders despite no one having experience. Their ambitious project, GRAVITY: THE SHADOW OF JOSEPH, reimagines the biblical story of Joseph as a futuristic, Star Wars-inspired epic to be shot in Italy. Funded through church offerings, the production quickly spirals. Gazowsky secures favors and finances he can't repay, including a $17,000-per-month studio he's eventually evicted from. His leadership is strikingly confident, and he makes quick decisions and commands authority, but many are disastrous. He insists the film be shot on 70mm at 60 frames per second, a technically absurd and prohibitively expensive choice. In Italy, the crew manages to film only two incomplete, soundless scenes before the production collapses. Yet Gazowsky remains undeterred. In the film's haunting conclusion, he preaches that his next plan is to create a company producing 47 films a year, alongside resorts, airlines, and a space program. Gazowsky's faith seems consumed by ambition, though his audacity occasionally borders on genius. Still, his willingness to endanger and exploit his congregation, including children on unsafe sets, feels reckless and cruel. AUDIENCE OF ONE is an extreme but eye-opening look at faith-based film, where the movie is a powerful totem that allows the filmmaker to create an idol to both himself and God. In a roundabout way, it is an inspiring tale of faith, art, and the creative spirit.

In this grounded, hope-filled conversation, Kai sits down with worship leader Micah Miller (San Carlos Apache) to talk about worship beyond performance—worship as presence. Micah shares a vulnerable moment after leading a service when he realized he'd made the crowd his “audience.” That shift—“Jesus is the audience”—reframed everything. Together they trace how worship can carry us through grief, why Scripture shapes our posture (see 1 Samuel 16:23), and how to navigate insecurity, comparison, and the pressure to “put on a show.” Expect honest stories, a little rez humor (yes, the mic-check chaos), and practical encouragement for musicians and non-musicians alike. If you've wondered how to worship when you're hurting—or how to keep your heart right on stage—this one's for you.

t is very natural to try to mask our insecurities with accomplishments. What happens when our reputation is challenged? Is being in Christ enough? Listen and hear how the gospel frees us to find all of our worth in the person and work of Christ.
Standing Out: A Daily Podcast About Sales, Marketing and Leadership
Send us a textWhat if the most powerful faith is the faith no one sees? We walk through Matthew 6 and discover how Jesus redirects our spiritual life from the spotlight to the secret place, where giving, prayer, and fasting become intimate acts of love rather than public performances. Calling God Father isn't a throwaway line; it's a radical invitation to relationship that reshapes our motives, our speech, and our daily choices.We unpack the Lord's Prayer as a living framework instead of a rigid script—relationship, reverence, surrender, dependence, confession, and protection—each petition present tense, each one drawing our hearts into ongoing conversation with God. From there, we face hard questions about treasure and vision: where we store value, how we see reality, and which master we truly serve. You'll hear how a healthy eye fills life with light, why we can't split loyalty between God and money, and how generosity becomes joy when applause no longer sits on the throne.Anxiety gets honest treatment too. Jesus points to birds and lilies as everyday billboards of the Father's care, reminding us that worry cannot add an hour to life, but trust can restore focus. Seek first the kingdom and watch priorities reorder: less spiraling, more steady steps; fewer what-ifs, more prayerful yeses. Along the way, we share practical ways to practice hidden disciplines and cultivate a quiet strength that endures when life gets loud. If you're hungry for a faith that is deep, simple, and free from performance, you'll find clarity and courage here.If this speaks to you, follow the show, share it with a friend, and leave a quick rating or review—then tell us: which part of Matthew 6 are you practicing this week?The Bible isn't just an old book—it's God's story, and it's still alive today. His Story takes you chapter by chapter through Scripture, combining simple readings of God's Word with prayer for every listener and occasional reflections on what the passage means for our lives right now. Whether you're brand new to the Bible or have been reading it for years, this podcast is a space to slow down, hear God's Word spoken, and be reminded that His story is also our story.

You probably know Breanna Nix from her showstopping duet with Brandon Lake on the 2025 season of American Idol, but what you might not know is everything that led her to that Hollywood stage. Breanna opens up to Sadie about growing up in a broken home, not knowing her real dad, and the painful truth that sent her spiraling into rejection and shame. She gets real about being bound by food, how she rebuilt a healthy relationship with it in a way that honors God, and now coaches others to do the same. Sadie can't wait to hear about Breanna's now-viral moment with Carrie Underwood, who encouraged her about “just” being a stay-at-home mom. Plus, Breanna spills the tea on the crazy weeks leading up to her American Idol audition: fights with family and church leadership over whether she should even compete, almost passing on dating her now-husband, and how marriage and motherhood have completely changed the game.

Focusing on Galatians 1:1-10, Scott Lambert discusses the importance of truth, transcendence, and eternity.
its so easy in todays culture and society, especially in the fitness world to work hard for the "Gosh you got hot" or "mama you are looking good" kinda compliments, the approval, the looks, or maybe the shock effect when you completely change and transform your life. BUT, what if no one saw it. What if no one complimented? What if no one even noticed you showing up in your fitness journey and habits each day? Would you still do it? Would you still have the same excitement and discipline or work ethic as you do now?
Matthew 6:1-4 / Pastor Christian Simas
The approval trap is ensnaring way too many of us... what do I mean by this? We are drawn into the need for man's approval and applause, for everyone to love us or, at the very least, like us, and to never fail anyone's assumptions about us. But this is unrealistic. Friends, we are now living for an audience of One when we become Christians, and God's approval and affection toward us should be enough! Let's talk about it.

“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.

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.
