Charles Joughin was a sailor from the young age of eleven. He served as a baker on a number of ships, and in 1912 got hired onto a cruise ship sailing out of Southampton, England. That ship, the Titanic, hit an iceberg in the Northern Atlantic. As the ship went down, Joughin helped people into lifeboats. He himself stood atop the end of the Titanic as it sunk vertically into the water. Miraculously, he survived. Thirty years later, during World War II, Charles was on another ship, the RMS Oregon. It was rammed by another vessel, and it also sank. Remarkably Joughin survived, again. Scriptures tell us we’re all on a sinking ship. Paul writes, “All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God” (Romans 3:23). He refers to the rebellious nation of Israel, quoting Isaiah: “Unless the Lord Almighty had left us some survivors, we would have become like Sodom” (Isaiah 1:9). Paul speaks of a “remnant” of Israel, a shipload of survivors: “only the remnant will be saved” (Romans 9:27). How are they saved? By receiving the good news (Romans 10:16). You see, we’re all like Israel, drowning in our sin. None of us can be rescued unless we receive the good news. The lifeboat that God throws out to us all is Jesus. We who believe in Jesus might need to be reminded of the remarkable truth that we are, by God’s mercy, survivors. Those who haven’t yet found Jesus in the troubled waters of life might do well to climb in the lifeboat.

Blaise Pascal famously said there’s an “infinite abyss” inside us that only an infinite God can fill. “You have made us for yourself, O Lord,” Augustine prayed, “and our heart is restless until it rests in you.” As David put it, like thirsty people in the desert, our whole being “longs” for God (Psalm 63:1). Surprisingly, however, it isn’t only humans that experience longing. God does too. While the infinite God of the universe needs nothing outside Himself to be fulfilled, the Bible says He “longs” to have us back when we stray (James 4:4-5), and repeatedly says He wants a people to call His own (Exodus 6:7; Hebrews 8:10). For thousands of years this longing has fueled God’s missionary endeavors: sending prophets to win back His straying people and ultimately sending His Son to find His lost sheep (Isaiah 30:18; Luke 19:10). The good news is that in the end, this longing will be fulfilled: “They will be his people, and God Himself will be with them and be their God” (Revelation 21:3). God and human beings will dwell together (v. 2). Humans long for God and no substitute will satisfy. God longs for humans and no substitute will do. So no wonder there’s rejoicing in heaven when one sinner repents (Luke 15:7). When we run to God’s open arms, everyone is fulfilled.

The acclaimed painting Let My People Go by Aaron Douglas uses vibrant colors of lavender, green, and gold, along with traditional African imagery, to tell the biblical story of Moses and connect it with Black Americans’ struggle for freedom and justice. The painting portrays God’s appearance to Moses in a burning bush when he revealed that He’d seen the plight of the Israelites in Egypt. The artist uses a beam of light to symbolize God and His message, “So now, go. I am sending you to Pharaoh to bring my people the Israelites out of Egypt” (Exodus 3:10). In Let My People Go, Moses kneels in obedient submission to God’s instructions, but the eye is drawn to the dark waves and horses trained for war surrounding him—reminding viewers of the struggles the Israelites would face as they left Egypt. But the beam of light shines brightly as a reminder that God would be with the Israelites in their struggle. The emotions evoked by the painting resonate because the struggle against injustice continues; many use their power to oppress men, women, and children around the world. As those suffering cry out for God to be “a refuge for the oppressed, a stronghold in times of trouble” (Psalm 9:9), we can plead with God to respond to their cries for help. And, like Moses, we can be willing to act on behalf of the oppressed.

What does the Bible really mean when it says Adam and Eve were “naked and not ashamed” (Genesis 2:25)? Dr. Sri explores how Adam and Eve's physical nakedness points to something far deeper: total trust, vulnerability, and freedom—what we were created for before sin entered the world. He reveals how shame entered the human story, explaining how it causes us to hide, perform, compare, and fear being truly seen. _ _ For full shownotes, visit Ascensionpress.com/Allthingscatholic, or text ALLTHINGSCATHOLIC to 33-777 for weekly shownotes sent to your inbox.

The two men conquered human flight, but the Wright brothers’ journey to success was never easy. Despite countless failures, ridicule, money woes, and serious injury to one of them, the brothers weren’t stopped by the trials they faced. As Orville Wright observed, “No bird soars in a calm.” The idea, according to biographer David McCullough, means that adversity can “often be exactly what you need to give you a lift higher.” Said McCullough, “Their joy was not getting to the top of the mountain. Their joy was climbing the mountain.” The apostle Peter taught a similar spiritual principle to the persecuted early church. He told them, “Do not be surprised at the fiery ordeal that has come on you to test you” (1 Peter 4:12). This wasn’t a denial of suffering’s pain. Peter knew that hope in Christ grows our trust in God. This is especially true when we suffer for being a believer in Jesus, as those early Christians did. Peter wrote to them, “Rejoice inasmuch as you participate in the sufferings of Christ, so that you may be overjoyed when his glory is revealed” (v. 13). He went on, “If you are insulted because of the name of Christ, you are blessed, for the Spirit of glory and of God rests on you” (v. 14). As the Wright Brothers’ character was hailed by their biographer, may others see God’s loving character at work in us. He uses our adversity to raise us to new heights.
One of the greatest threats to the true gospel isn't open rebellion, but a counterfeit gospel of self-righteousness and spiritual pride.In today's episode, we continue our sermon series from the archives, The Gospel According to Mark, as Paul explains why Jesus so often confronted the Pharisees, exposing the dangers of legalism, traditionalism, and hearts that mistake rule-keeping for righteousness.To hear more sermons from Paul, visit PaulTripp.com/Sermons.
Welcome to an unusual episode on Keep the Heart. This episode, "When You Can't Find the Bed of Roses," was inspired by an email from a disillusioned letter writer. This young woman who wrote the email made this statement: “I feel like I was told before marriage, growing up, in my teens, and as a young adult, that living the Christian life is wonderful, and a bed of roses.” The key phrase in her statement is this: “I feel like…” Feelings are not the same as facts, and there are times when what we hear and how we perceive it are not the same. I am grateful that this writer did not say, “Someone told me that the Christian life would be a bed of roses.” Still, somehow this young woman got a faulty impression. This episode is dedicated to the young woman who sent the email, and anyone else who has discovered that the Christian life is not what you thought it would be. You may want to grab your journal to jot some notes. The email is being used as the basis for this episode with permission, and the letter writer remains anonymous. You may hear some things that you've been wondering about as well. VISIT THE SHOP AT KEEP THE HEART FOR BOOKS, BIBLE STUDIES & MORE!

[00:00] Introduction: The Power of Podcasting for BusinessesThis session is the third installment in a comprehensive series exploring podcasting strategies for local, regional, national, and international businesses. The central argument is that a podcast is more than just a marketing tool; when paired with a business, it becomes a win-win engine for growth. The fundamental mission of any business podcast is to educate and inform its audience, providing value that fosters loyalty and repeat engagement. However, before a business can effectively monetize its content, it must first establish a solid, discoverable presence within the vast podcasting ecosystem.2. [02:15] Foundational SEO: Is Your Podcast Discoverable?Monetization is impossible if your target audience cannot find your show. The first and most critical step for any business podcaster is to verify that their show is listed and discoverable across the podcast ecosystem. This foundational presence is the bedrock upon which all growth and revenue strategies are built. You can use the following free tools to check your podcast's visibility:• pod.link• ivy.fm• listennotes.comOnce you've confirmed your podcast is registered and accessible, you can begin to implement the core monetization strategies that this discoverability enables.3. [04:30] Three Pillars of Monetization: An OverviewThe world of podcast monetization can be complex and overwhelming. To simplify the process, this episode focuses on three primary methods that form the foundation of a sustainable revenue strategy. By understanding these core pillars, you can choose the path that best aligns with your business goals and audience. The three monetization models are:1. Advertisements2. Sponsorships3. SubscriptionsThe effectiveness of these strategies is often determined by a crucial technical decision made at the very beginning of the podcasting journey: the choice of a hosting platform.4. [06:00] Strategic Decision 1: Choosing Your Hosting PlatformSelecting a podcast host is not merely a technical detail; it is a strategic business decision that directly impacts your ability to generate revenue. It is crucial to choose a platform that is IAB (Interactive Advertising Bureau) certified, as this is often a prerequisite for receiving ads from major networks. Your hosting platform manages your RSS (Really Simple Syndication) feed, which is the technology responsible for distributing your episodes to directories like Apple Podcasts and Spotify. This RSS feed is the gateway to monetization, and it contains a surprisingly powerful and often overlooked setting that directly impacts your national reach: the language selection.5. [08:45] The Underrated National SEO Tactic: Language SelectionSmall technical settings can have an outsized impact on audience reach, and the language selection within your RSS feed is a prime example for national businesses. Correctly setting your podcast's language codec is a powerful and underrated SEO tactic. For a national business operating in the United States, for instance, setting the language to English, United States signals to algorithms that your content is specifically relevant to that national audience. This simple choice places your show "within that bracket in the algorithm," because as the speaker emphasizes, "nation and language go together."6. [12:10] The 2026 Strategy: From Fleeting Reach to Lasting IntentIn a world of short-term social media metrics, the key to long-term success is building durable, evergreen assets. While a social media post can become "obsolete tomorrow," a podcast episode focused on search intent can serve an audience for years to come. The strategic goal for 2026 and beyond is to shift focus from impressions and reach to intent. As illustrated by the "how to tie a tie" analogy, intent-driven content provides a solution at the exact moment a person needs it, creating a powerful and valuable connection that builds trust and authority.7. [15:30] Data-Driven Monetization: Using Analytics to Find OpportunityMonetization should never be based on guesswork. Podcast analytics provide the data necessary to uncover specific, actionable opportunities within your listener base. By analyzing your listener data, a national business can move from broad assumptions to targeted strategies. Your analytics can answer critical questions like:• Which are the top 5 cities listening to your show?• Which states, zip codes, counties, or districts have the most listeners?• What day of the week and time of day generate the most engagement?This data is invaluable. It allows a business to strategically partner with influencers in high-engagement cities, target sponsorships to specific regions, or schedule episode releases for maximum impact, turning insights into income.8. [18:00] Monetization Models In-Depth: Profit vs. AccessibilityThe best monetization model depends on your business's goals, specifically the balance between maximizing audience access and maximizing profit margins. Each of the three primary models offers a different trade-off. While a business can choose any model, they can also be viewed as a strategic progression: using advertisements to build broad awareness, leveraging that audience for targeted sponsorships, and finally converting the most dedicated listeners into high-value subscribers.Advertisements• Accessibility: High• Profit: Low• CPM: ~$10 - $30• Analysis: This model is ideal for building broad brand awareness. While direct profit is lower, the high accessibility generates significant activity and gets your brand name in front of the largest possible audience.Sponsorships• Accessibility: Low• Profit: Moderate• CPM: ~$25 - $50 (with rates around 40−50 being for highly targeted, premium placements)• Analysis: Sponsorships are more targeted and context-driven, focusing on a specific audience or niche. Because the partnership is more direct and relevant to the listener, the profit potential is higher than with general advertisements.Subscriptions• Accessibility: Varies (requires a private offering)• Profit: High potential• Mechanism: This model is typically executed by offering exclusive bonus content through a private RSS feed, which is separate from the public feed that distributes to apps like Apple and Spotify. A subscription can unlock access to a private community, a members-only forum, a swag bag, or exclusive meetups, creating a high-value offering for your most dedicated listeners.9. [24:00] Content in Action: Podcast Formats & SEO ChecklistSuccessful podcasting requires a deliberate approach to both the creative format of your content and the technical SEO that ensures it gets discovered.

London is a cosmopolitan city, with people from many nations living side by side. This coming together of people from around the world can bring much richness—including amazing food—but it also has its challenges. For instance, I was saddened to hear that our friends from one European country felt they were the least respected in London because their country had been admitted to the European Union more recently. They felt overlooked, blamed for problems, and resented for the jobs they secured. Since God doesn’t show favoritism, neither should we. He desires to break down the barriers between people. We see His Spirit at work in Peter’s revelation while praying on the rooftop, and how Peter was called to minister to Cornelius, a God-fearing gentile. God helped Peter evaluate the Jewish regulations about not associating with gentiles. The apostle listened and went to Cornelius’ home to share the good news of Jesus. He said, “I now realize how true it is that God does not show favoritism but accepts from every nation the one who fears him and does what is right” (Acts 10:34–35). Those who follow Jesus are called to love and serve all those who are made in the image of Christ. Part of that mission is to not to show favoritism for people from certain nations or with particular skin colors. May we learn to seek justice and to defend the oppressed as God guides us (Isaiah 1:17).

Favour Obasi-ike, MBA, MS introduces this episode reframes “monetization” as a value exchange, built on the core truth that “there's no conversion that started without a conversation.” It presents a strategic model where financial returns are the natural result of building trust through dialogue. Applying this specifically to regional businesses, the discussion outlines strategic podcasting techniques to improve search engine visibility and drive revenue.The key tactic is the deliberate use of geographic keywords within episode titles, scripts, and author fields to dominate local search results. By treating a podcast as permanent intellectual property rather than just a marketing tool, businesses create a lasting reference point that validates their brand through expert conversations, building consumer trust and market authority.This value-exchange model is powered by converting listener attention into growth through methods like pre-roll ads, affiliate partnerships, and private subscriptions. Furthermore, the speaker advises using analytics to identify high-performing locations, allowing businesses to refine their content and promotional strategies for specific audiences. Ultimately, consistent, helpful audio content serves as the foundational engine for long-term customer loyalty, where monetization is the direct outcome of the deep relationships built through strategic, SEO-focused conversations.Key Takeaways: Actionable Insights• Local First, Regional Second: Even international brands are local to someone. The foundational strategy is to dominate your immediate search radius (5-25 miles) by embedding location-specific keywords—such as city, state, province, or zip code—directly into your podcast titles, spoken content, and show notes. This ensures you are discoverable by the customers actively searching for services in your specific operational areas.• Conversation Before Conversion: The speaker's primary argument is that trust is the essential precursor to any transaction. A podcast's main function should be to initiate meaningful conversations and consistently answer customer questions. This process naturally builds the credibility and trust required to guide a listener toward becoming a loyal customer, making the "sale" a frictionless conclusion to a relationship, not a high-pressure pitch.• Podcast as an Intellectual Property Asset: Your podcast should be treated as a core business asset, on par with your domain name or email list. It functions as a permanent, searchable "place of reference" that validates your expertise and builds long-term equity. As the speaker notes, a successful podcast creates listenership, authorship, and readership—"it's a lot of ship sailing"—that expands into partnerships and affiliate relationships.• Give Them What They Want, Then What They Need: This two-step engagement strategy is crucial for audience growth and retention. The speaker reveals their strategic thinking: "Give them what they need first, right? Let me actually put it this way. Give them what they want and then give them what they need." First, attract new listeners with content that answers what they want (their direct search queries). Then, build loyalty and authority by providing the deeper, more valuable content they truly need.Concluding TransitionWith these foundational principles established, the episode transitions into the specific, tactical SEO strategies that bring this value-driven approach to life.Need to Book An SEO Discovery Call for Advertising or Marketing Services?>> Book a Complimentary SEO Discovery Call with Favour Obasi-Ike>> Visit Work and PLAY Entertainment website to learn about our digital marketing services>> Join our exclusive SEO Marketing community>> Read SEO Articles>> Subscribe to the We Don't PLAY Podcast>> Purchase Flaev Beatz Beats OnlineTimestamped Segments• [00:00:00] Introduction: Why Regional Businesses Need Podcast SEO ◦ Favour outlines the opportunity for regional businesses to build trust, loyalty, and brand awareness through location-focused content.• [00:05:15] The Core Strategy: Hyper-Local Targeting ◦ Details on how to use specific city, state, and province names in episode titles and spoken scripts to attract local search traffic.• [00:09:30] Redefining Monetization: Trust and Conversation ◦ Favour argues that monetization is an outcome of trust, which is built through valuable conversations, not direct sales pitches.• [00:14:00] Tactical Content Planning ◦ Keyword Strategy: How to build content around core business keywords (e.g., "cooking") and then niche down into specifics ("vegan cooking," "pressure cooking"). ◦ FAQ Episodes: The strategy of creating dedicated FAQ episodes for each business location to address unique regional customer questions. ◦ The "Album Drop" Strategy: An explanation of releasing all location-specific FAQ episodes simultaneously to maximize reach and impact.• [00:21:45] Advanced SEO & Platform Tactics ◦ Author Name Optimization: How to structure the podcast's "author" field to include business locations (e.g., "My Restaurant | Seattle | Honolulu | Las Vegas"). ◦ The Power of Voice: Imagine listening to your brand's CEO sending a message directly to you, "documenting their journey with you on live mode" - this tactic creates a permanent "reference point" that builds unparalleled trust.• [00:28:10] The Podcast as a Business Asset ◦ Positioning the podcast as a core piece of intellectual property that builds listenership, authorship, partnerships, and affiliate relationships.• [00:32:00] Monetization Mechanics Explained ◦ A breakdown of ad formats like pre-rolls, mid-rolls, and post-rolls, comparing them to YouTube's ad model. ◦ Discussion on building private, subscription-based podcasts for premium content.• [00:41:00] Live Q&A: Getting Started with Podcasting (with Kelcey) ◦ A new podcaster asks for advice on where to start with her faith-based podcast and monetization.• [00:55:30] Core Digital Assets: Domain & Email List ◦ The speaker emphasizes that your domain and email list are critical assets, using the analogy: "Just like you have an address and a mail box is the same way you have a website and a mailbox."• [01:05:00] Closing Remarks and Call to Action ◦ Favour summarizes the key points and directs listeners to connect for a free audit.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
2026 is here! Before we start chasing goals, stacking wins, and trying to “make this year different,” we've got to make sure we're building on something solid. That's what Foundations is. A series that starts beneath the surface, because when life gets loud, plans shift, and pressure shows up, you don't rise to motivation you fall back on what you've built. So this month we're rebuilding from the ground up: faith that holds, wisdom that guides, peace that guards, and clarity that directs.
