A new MP3 sermon from Grace Audio Treasures is now available on SermonAudio with the following details: Title: There is no balm more comforting Subtitle: Puritan Devotional Speaker: C. H. Spurgeon Broadcaster: Grace Audio Treasures Event: Devotional Date: 6/10/2025 Bible: Isaiah 41:10; Romans 8:28 Length: 3 min.

Isaiah 41:10, "Do not be afraid, for I am with you. Do not be discouraged, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you. I will uphold you with My victorious right hand!" There is no balm more comforting to the trembling believer, than the direct and personal promises of God. In this verse, the Lord Himself speaks with fatherly tenderness and sovereign authority to calm the fears and strengthen the hearts of His redeemed people. Here is no vague encouragement, but the very voice of the Almighty pledging His own presence, power, and preservation. "Do not be afraid, for I am with you." Fear vanishes when the believer realizes who walks beside him. The God who made and governs all things--the One before whom nations are like dust on the scales--has pledged to be with His people. Not merely near them, but with them: protecting, guiding, and sustaining them. To fear, then, is to forget who God is and what He has promised. "Do not be discouraged, for I am your God." Discouragement creeps in when trials seem insurmountable and the soul feels faint. But when the believer remembers that God is his almighty Father, then discouragement is silenced. He has joined Himself to His people with everlasting love, and He will not forsake the work of His hands. "I will strengthen you and help you." Our weakness is not a hindrance to God's grace--it is the very reason He comes to us with divine strength. What we lack, He provides. What we cannot do, He accomplishes through us. He does not merely cheer us from afar, but enters the battle with us and protects us by His might. "I will uphold you with My victorious right hand!" The right hand of God is the place of power, author

Send us a textDive into the fascinating world of Theta Healing as solicitor-turned-energy therapist Natasha Price sits down with Kevin Orchard, her long-term client of over two years. This candid conversation peels back the layers of a healing modality that works beyond logical thinking to create profound transformations in both mind and body.Kevin offers a rare glimpse into the client experience of energy healing, describing how muscle testing consistently reveals truths that surprise even him—proof that something beyond placebo effect is at work. "That's when you go 'oh hang on, this ain't no placebo rubbish,'" he explains, "because I would expect the answer to be the other and it's not." Their journey together has tackled everything from everyday challenges to explorations of different dimensional realities and soul-level healing.The physical effects of energy clearing emerge as a central theme, with Kevin likening sessions to visiting a "spiritual gym"—feeling fantastic for days afterward while his body integrates the energetic shifts. Perhaps most intriguing is their shared awareness of communication happening between their higher selves during sessions, creating what Natasha describes as an "energy bubble" that facilitates deeper healing. This unconscious rapport between practitioner and client suggests that effective energy work operates on multiple levels simultaneously.For those considering this path, Kevin emphasizes that meaningful transformation requires commitment rather than seeking quick fixes. After approximately twenty sessions spread over years, the results speak for themselves—from manifesting long-blocked desires like a new kitchen to experiencing a fundamentally different quality of life. "I'm just vibrating at a different level," Kevin reflects, "where the other stuff just doesn't fit anymore."Subscribe to Balm to the Soul for more conversations exploring the intersection of energy, healing, and personal transformation.Kevin Orchard - Integrated TherapistMusic from #Uppbeat (free for Creators!):https://uppbeat.io/t/sky-toes/featherlightLicense code: ZTXJPK8BA5WMLKSF My new novel The Red Magus has recently been published in conjunction with the Unbound Press.

Monte Deere and his brother Michael were born just 14 months apart—the kind of brothers who shared a bedroom—and a paper route—even when they didn't have to. So, when Michael took his own life while Monte and his wife were serving as mission leaders in the Spain Malaga Mission, Monte found himself grieving in a foreign country far away from his family. Since returning home, Monte has dealt with health challenges that have disrupted his own quality of life—even causing him to be released from a church calling he loved. On this week's episode, Monte shares how he has been a recipient of the balm that only the Savior can provide. “I think being all in for Him is creating a little space for Him, listening to Him say, ‘Come, let me pick you up. Let me brush you off. Let me apply a little salve, a little balm. And let me give you some bread and some spiritual water. Let me clean you from the inside out and then you can be back being all in on the things that you choose but give me room, give me space. Let me love you. Let me do for you what you can't do for yourself, what only I can do.'” 1:43- A Father's Example of Hard Work 5:01- Watching an Adult Sibling Struggle 12:29- A Family Called to Serve 17:54- Devastating News 21:51- Salve From the Spirit 24:48- Unexpected Health Challenges 35:34- A Wake Up Call 37:56- Lifting the Hands Which Hang Down 41:42- What Does It Mean To Be All In the Gospel of Jesus Christ Links: Elder Renlund on suicide -  https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLAYgY8SPtEWH5oAfQlfGFyKk77nf-S-tH President Ballard on suicide -https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/ensign/1987/10/suicide-some-things-we-know-and-some-we-do-not?lang=eng

Let's Talk About Sects did a deep dive episode about the Two by Twos, also known as The Truth, in October 2020. In the years since we recorded, huge numbers of followers in the USA in particular have left as more and more allegations of child sexual abuse have been made against workers, and the FBI is currently investigating the organisation.It was never Abbi and Mike Prussack's intention to become involved in advocacy work, but once the couple became aware of the extent of the abuse and how it was concealed, there didn't seem to be an option other than putting the real truth out into the world and attempting to create some transparency where there was none before. Abbi and Mike have been releasing information that the Two by Twos have kept hidden for decades, and Abbi co-founded a not-for-profit called Voices for the Truth to help provide education and resources to victim-survivors of the organisation.You can support us on Patreon.

In this episode, Ana catches up on recent events in her life and offers a variety of poems to soothe the soul and nervous system during this time of upheaval.

As Groundhog Day approaches, we recognize the cultural association of the holiday with the concept of repetition and take some repeat requester's requests! The two songs suggested by longtime listener Liam present us with two distinct flavours -- though both are very much of the year 2020, and both come to us from Scottish artists. "Humans Are Not Worth Saving" by Michael M is a catchy little pop-punk ditty about immortal zombie Santa having an existential crisis (like you do). On a completely different emotional wavelength, "(I Wish You) Peace In Your Heart" by Blue Rose Code featuring Karine Polwart is a heartfelt gift offering solace in hard times. The ranking music in this episode is "Maybe This Christmas" by Ron Sexsmith. Thank you to Liam for these requests!

Did you know that over-the-counter skincare can contain up to 12,500 unique chemical ingredients approved for use in the United States?  Spencer Dee shares how his product with just five organic ingredients is creating skincare results. On today's podcast, Renee talks with Spencer Dee, founder True Harvest Skincare. Website: trueharvestskincare.com Instagram: @trueharvestskin  BACK STORY Toxic ingredients in our skincare, in our homes and in our food can lead to a host of health complications like inflammatory conditions, chronic disease, depression, fatigue and even cancer. A new generation is leading the charge asking questions about what is in the products we use or the food we eat, leading to a more enlightened consumer who cares about the products they purchase and use.  One young entrepreneur has been called to offer an alternative approach to skincare. On today's podcast, Spencer Dee talks with his mom, podcast host Renee Dee, about his two-year journey to clear his skin and find a product that has more benefit than harm. His belief is that all organic ingredients with powerful natural benefits can not only create results for your skin but also for  your overall health, given that your skin is the largest organ of the body.   SUBSCRIBE TO ICONIC HOUR If you enjoyed today's podcast, I'd be so appreciative if you'd take two minutes to subscribe, rate and review ICONIC HOUR.

The Affirming and Healing Balm of Acknowledgement   In this episode of “The Human Intimacy Podcast”, Dr. Kevin Skinner welcomes Kosta Petrogeorge, a long-time colleague and friend, to explore the powerful concept of acknowledgement in relationships. The conversation dives into how deeply seeing and acknowledging loved ones—through intentional words, actions, and moments—can heal emotional wounds, strengthen intimacy, and foster deeper connections.   Kosta shares poignant examples, including a scene from the film Dances with Wolves, where heartfelt acknowledgment powerfully affirms relationships. They discuss how couples navigating betrayal can intentionally reclaim spaces and relationships tarnished by infidelity or trauma, offering creative and therapeutic strategies. This includes a touching exercise to replace avoidance with an intentional ritual that fosters healing and repair.   Through real-life stories, Kosta and Dr. Skinner demonstrate that true acknowledgment transcends mere words—it is an intentional act of claiming and honoring those we love. They also explore the impact of missed acknowledgment, sharing insights on how unresolved moments from the past can be addressed and healed.   The episode concludes with everyday applications for acknowledgment, such as introducing loved ones with intention, greeting a spouse warmly, and practicing "wind in his hair" moments to affirm the value of those closest to us. Dr. Skinner leaves listeners with an inspiring reminder: We all have the choice to deepen our relationships through genuine acknowledgment.

What is the true cost of our numbness, and how can we alchemize it into deep, loving intimacy?     This conversation with Dr. Jaiya John is a balm, for tender times, tender hearts - a remembrance of how to touch tenderly, inwardly and outwardly. Dr. Jaiya John, born as an orphan on the sacred lands of the Ancient Puebloans in New Mexico's high desert, walks the world as a freedom worker, poet, author, teacher, and speaker, revered across continents. In this tender episode, Amisha and Dr. Jaiya weave a story of human connection—layered with vulnerability, healing, and the soft light of hope. Together, they lean into our collective longing for liberation from oppression, the raw courage needed to meet grief and emotional pain, and a soul-deep inquiry into how technology shapes intimacy in a world that often feels so far apart. We hope this episode invites you into deeper layers of tenderness and presence.   Links from this episode and more at allthatweare.org

Jennifer Calabretta's childhood and early marriage were perfect in so many ways. But Jennifer never could have imagined what was to come. Jennifer lost her second baby weeks after delivery to a rare muscle disorder. Doctors told her this would never happen again. However, during one of Jennifer's subsequent pregnancies, she learned that her daughter wouldn't survive the very same disease. Jennifer carried her baby throughout the remaining months of her pregnancy—and she and her husband were blessed with ten minutes with their daughter. Jennifer experienced God deep within her throughout it all. God's love was like holy balm to her injured heart. In this vulnerable and joy-filled podcast, learn that God's grace is sufficient. You will be blessed with God's holy balm of the heart, too!
