Podcasts about burdens

What do you care about these days? Caring is the currency of leadership, but here's the paradox: when we care too much about too many things, we can lose sight of the things that truly matter. So the question is: How do you direct your energy toward what you value, without becoming overwhelmed by the sheer volume of things you could care about? The most effective leaders are those who can connect deeply with their teams, foster trust, and create a sense of safety and belonging. They lead with empathy, not just strategy.But perfectionism and overfunctioning can lead us to feel like we need to be everything to everyone, at the expense of our well-being and, ultimately, the quality of our leadership.For many of us, the path to effective leadership begins with finding your enough. When you shift your lens to honoring your enough, you stay connected to your values and to the people and causes that matter most to you, without tipping into exhaustion.My guest today offers a model of what it's like to care deeply without losing yourself in the process, and of finding joy and community along the way. Ashlee Piper is a sustainability expert, commentator, and speaker whose work has been widely featured on television and in print media.

Is the heat making you feel too heavy, too depleted to enjoy these last days of summer? You're not alone! Host Liz Edwards talks with Nurse Practitioner James O'Rourke about the burdensome effects of seasonal allergens, sticky humidity, and the oppressive heat.  The Dog Days of Summer, with their high temperatures and high humidity in the South, can worsen allergies, asthma, and eczema. Learn how breathing in hot air and airborne allergens, as well as contact with summer pollens, affect your nose, eyes, skin, and lungs, and how to be prepared and limit your exposure.

Summer School of Prayer 2025. This is more than a gathering — it's a generational mandate. We believe the promise of revival rests heavily on our generation. The greatest moves of God are not behind us, they are ahead — and prayer is the key. This is a call to partnership-level prayer — where intercessors become catalysts for divine transformation. We gather as midwives of revival, contending for what heaven is ready to release.

My good friend Dr. Haley Schultz (@dr.haley.dds & host of @dentaldownloadpodcast) is here to share the stories of the things she never said! The lessons of the day here: sometimes we overthink and delay conversations until we've agonized for week's, they're worst case in our heads, and heavier burden for us to carry than if we were to address things swiftly and head on. Whether it's working with another classmate in a student org or having talks about money with our bosses, todays stories show that sometimes it's best to nip things in the bud, before they become a forest in our heads!IG: @drconniewang, @justaquickpinch

Hey hey BATT Family! GenCon 2025 is ONE WEEK AWAY! That means that it is perfect timing to get out the GenCon preview list. We recorded this list on July 9th when there were 499 games on the list. While another 70 or so were added since then, we're all still extremely happy with our lists and will still be looking for these games in particular. Scott, Jason, and Mark have all gathered to make sure that we're telling you about 30 different games that we are excited to check out and hopefully bring home from the con in one way or another.

The game being discussed is "Escape from the Moon". 2) Scott failed to correctly say the name of his number eight! We were on fire at this point, but in our defense it was almost 2am when we started recording all this! His number eight is actually Gibberers from Hobby Japan. 3) Mark has since played Zenith. IT'S SO, SO GOOD GUYS. 4) We've gotten some preview copies of Pillars of Fate and the other retail IV games that you'll be getting reviews of VERY SHORTLY. Mark likes Pillars A LOT. It's a good thing too, because he's gotta pick up the copy he already bought! --- You can email us at boardallthetimegaming@gmail.com.

Galatians 6:2-5 David Wilson // Senior Pastor

Spontaneous short episodes recorded Off The Cuff from the heart and life of Matt Knoll.

In Galatians 6:1-10, Paul encourages the early believers to gently restore those who have fallen into sin, to bear each other's burdens, and to do good to everyone, especially fellow believers. In this study, Evangelist Gavin Williams examines how Christians are called to support one another and those around them, so that we can shine our light in a divided world.

Being part of the Body of Christ means helping one another when we make mistakes or experience challenges. Sharing burdens reveals that we understand the importance of caring for others in the Church.

From Pastor David Peck | From the sermon series Manifold Wisdom on display

In this powerful message, Pastor Timothy Elder unpacks the story of Zacchaeus and his determination to see Jesus no matter the obstacles in his way. Zacchaeus didn’t let the crowd stop him. He climbed above it. He pressed forward with purpose. Likewise, we’re often surrounded by figurative crowds—distractions, opinions, fear, and doubt—that try to block our view of Jesus. But like Zacchaeus, we must make the intentional choice to press ahead. To rise above the noise. To seek Jesus with everything in us. Let this message challenge and inspire you to move ahead of the crowd in your own life. Because when you make up your mind to see Jesus, everything changes. www.kingdomrock.org

What does it mean to truly bear someone else's burden? Karen Chambers knows firsthand. After experiencing a devastating miscarriage 42 years ago, with no support system to turn to, she founded Bearing Others' Burdens, a nonprofit that delivers care and comfort bags to individuals facing cancer, miscarriage, infant loss, and bereavement. In this moving episode, Karen shares:

By Andrew Lausted - Psalm 55:22 tells us that God will sustain us through our burdens. It is not a sign of weakness but of faith.

Send us a textTracy stops by the show to discuss her latest release, Sky Too Wide. We talk about people pleasing, connect over a Helen Reddy song, 'You and Me Against the World', her reimagined song 'Jumping Bean', and so much more.*****Tracy Bonham is a classically trained violinist and pianist turned alternative singer-songwriter who rose to fame in 1996 with her twice GRAMMYTM nominated album, The Burdens of Being Upright (Island Records). This debut album cast Bonham into the global spotlight with MTV fame and major radio airplay with her #1 alternative chart-topping song Mother Mother, an anthem for disgruntled teenagers of all ages. While so many of her songs have been placed in film and tv throughout the decades, you might have most recently heard Mother Mother in Yellow Jackets season 1 episode 2.Over the past 27 years, Bonham's albums and live performances have shown what it is to be an ever- evolving artist. While Bonham sings, she moves from guitar to violin, from violin to piano, and back again. When playing live, her songs from the 90s blend and blur with stylistic changes that she has created over time making her entire repertoire make sense as an entire body of work. She plays the old and new material and even though the songs span thirty years they all continue to be equally relevant.Bonham will be joined by upright bassist Rene Hart (David Amram, James Hunter) and drummer Alvester Garnett (Regina Carter, Abbey Lincoln) and with her new material she connects to something deeper than ever, her true self. Most of the new songs are performed on the piano giving her the chance to lean back to what made her fall in love with music in the first place. Borrowing harmonic structures and beautiful melodies from her favorite classical romantic composers, Bonham stretches herself artistically to combine this rediscovered passion with her unique and quirky songwriting style to create musical alchemy. This purifying process most certainly acts as a vehicle for inner transformation for Bonham. "It's like going back to the spark I had as a very young musician, discovering the beauty of Ravel and DeBussy and reclaiming that spark and everything that has happened after that". Bonham speaks of her current line-up, "Playing with incredible jazz musicians like Rene and Alvester has opened my mind and is now giving me the support I have always needed to spread my wings and fly. I am really enjoying exploring the intersections and overlaps of where classical and jazz meet without excluding my alternative rock sensibilities. These dudes can rock too. The three of us playing together is definitely my happy place".******If you would like to contact the show about being a guest, please email us at Dauna@bettertopodcast.comUpcoming guests can be found: https://dmneedom.com/upcoming-guest Follow us on Social MediaInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/author_d.m.needom/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/bettertopodcastwithdmneedomIntro and Outro music compliments of Fast Suzi©2025 Better To...Podcast with D.

Have you ever prayed for God to open doors for you so it's clear which way you should go, which decision you should make?  But, my friend, take a minute and think about the sayings we Christians have: ·       If God shuts the door, He always opens the window. ·       God doesn't close one door without getting ready to open another with bigger and greater things. ·       He will open the doors of opportunity as He sees fit and close doors that He doesn't want us going through. Are these true? Are they the whole truth and nothing but the truth? Is there anything we're missing? I believe that circumstances, like what we call open doors and closed doors, can definitely be a way for God to lead us through major decisions.  But I think we need to be really, really discerning about how we go about this. Because the truth is, some open doors aren't from God, and some closed doors aren't from Him, either. So how should circumstances play a role in our decision-making process? Today, I want to explore what the Bible says about open and closed doors and how we can use them to discern which path to take.

So, today I'm diving into the mess that can be podcast burnout. You know, that moment when your favorite hobby morphs into a job you dread? Yeah, we've all been there. We're chatting about big names like Marc Maron and others who decided to call it quits and how that's not just okay, but totally legit. Spoiler alert: sometimes stepping back is the best move you can make. I'll sprinkle in some sarcasm and laughs as we explore the absurdity of it all—because let's face it, if we can't laugh at our struggles, what's the point, right? If you've been thinking about starting a podcast but feel it's too crowded, realize all those podcasters who started back in 2005 might be being pulled in new directions that have them thinking about podcast retirement.Takeaways: Creative projects can sometimes feel like an endless cycle of stress and burnout. It's totally okay to step back from podcasting if it stops being fun for you. Many successful podcasters have experienced burnout, and it's a common issue in the industry. Managing expectations is crucial; don't expect overnight success when building an audience. Life changes, like welcoming a new baby, can drastically affect your podcasting ability and energy. Always remember: adding responsibilities means subtracting your fun, so be careful what you take on.
