Podcasts about celebration of discipline

Have you ever lived in a mindset where you're basically waiting for the other shoe to drop, hope feels impossible or too dangerous? It can feel safer to fly low, embrace pessimism and cynicism and think, “if life turns out half as bad as I imagine, then at least I'll be ready for it.” That's the kind of mindset Stephanie had when she was younger. Stephanie welcomes Nicole Zasowski, author and therapist, who shares wisdom on reclaiming joy and celebration in a world often dominated by worry and pessimism. Nicole's journey and research reveal that joy isn't just an emotional response, but a courageous, spiritual discipline rooted in God's faithfulness. Despite her deep faith, she had concluded that joy and celebration were risky. She was sure that celebration would come with a catch, so she became practiced in praying for the miracle while preparing to mourn and dreaming while rehearsing disaster. And yet she discovered that our methods of self-protection came at a cost. A lot of the loss we experience in our lives is not only the grief and the disappointment itself, but also the joy that we overlook because we are too afraid to embrace it, she tells us. That's the conversation on Gospel Spice today. Understanding the Struggle with Joy Nicole begins by dispelling the myth that celebration and joy come naturally to her—in fact, her books were born from seasons marked by change, loss, and disappointment. Through experiences like moving across the country and enduring infertility and miscarriages, Nicole discovered a heartbreaking truth: much of her loss was not just in what she lacked, but in her refusal to embrace the goodness that God placed in her path out of fear that it would be taken away. This led her into research, both biblical and scientific, to understand why joy can feel so vulnerable and difficult, especially when we've experienced pain. Redefining Celebration: A Spiritual Discipline American and Western cultures, Nicole notes, often see celebration as a reward for good news or accomplishments. However, the Bible—especially the Old Testament—demonstrates celebration as a spiritual rhythm and discipline, not just a reaction. The Israelites practiced regular, scheduled celebrations and feasts, regardless of their current circumstances. These rhythms were not designed to reward themselves for their goodness, but to remember and honor God's consistent faithfulness. Celebration, then, is about choosing remembrance: looking back at God's goodness and letting that fuel hope, courage, and anticipation about the future—even when circumstances are hard. The Vulnerability of Joy Joy is inherently vulnerable because it opens our hearts to the possibility of loss. For those who have experienced pain, pessimism and cynicism can become self-protective mechanisms. However, Nicole's research and experience as a therapist show that numbing ourselves to joy doesn't actually protect us. Rather, it diminishes our ability to savor God's goodness and leaves us empty-handed in difficult times. Practical Tools for Practicing Joy Nicole emphasizes that joy, like any virtue, can and must be intentionally practiced. Two key habits can help rewire our hearts toward joy: 1.      Savoring: Take mental “snapshots” of small moments, deliberately noticing what you see, hear, smell, taste, and feel. This helps your brain store joyful experiences that might otherwise go unnoticed. 2.      Thanksgiving (vs. gratitude): Beyond silently feeling grateful, speak and express thanks out loud—to God or others. Research shows that this actually heightens and solidifies joy inside us. Key Takeaways from our conversation ·         Joy and celebration are not merely emotions; they are spiritual practices and choices that shape us. ·         God invites us into rhythms of celebration even when our feelings or circumstances do not match, because it roots us deeper in remembrance of His faithfulness. ·         Practicing joy often feels counterintuitive—especially in pain—but it is the way God designed us to process life and hope. ·         Tools like savoring and thanksgiving can help transform our hearts and brains to default toward joy instead of worry or cynicism. Nicole encourages us that it's never too late to begin practicing joy, regardless of our life's season. The discipline of joy prepares us for eternity, deepening our delight in God and training our hearts for hope and celebration—no matter what comes our way. MORE ABOUT NICOLE ZASOWSKI Nicole Zasowski is a licensed marriage and family therapist and author of What If It's Wonderful, From Lost to Found and her new Bible Study Daring Joy. She is also the coauthor of Advances and Techniques in Restoration Therapy and Families and Forgiveness. As a writer who wears her heart proudly on her sleeve, Nicole's work is a weave of biblical wisdom, psychological expertise, and vulnerable storytelling. Often praised for her wisdom and approachable style, Nicole is a sough-after speaker, frequently teaching at conferences, retreats, and women's events around the country on topics that integrate faith and psychology. In addition to her private practice, Nicole's therapeutic work has included teaching as an adjunct professor at Alliance Theological Seminary in New York and leading marriage intensives at the Hideaway Experience. Nicole and her husband, Jimmy, are the grateful parents of three young children. Her favorite place to be is looking for sea glass on the Connecticut shoreline, exploring a New England town or New York City neighborhood, or sitting in her front yard around a fire with her family, friends, and neighbors. Meet Nicole at https://www.nicolezasowski.com/  MORE ABOUT “DARING JOY” Joy can feel risky. When you've experienced pain of any kind, it can feel easier not to dream than to be disappointed, or not to hope than to be left heartbroken. If you ever feel like it's safer not to embrace joy at all than to hold something that might break, you're not alone. Thankfully, the Bible paints a different picture—one that gives you the courage to hold on to joy regardless of your circumstances. https://www.nicolezasowski.com/daring-joy  MORE ABOUT “WHAT IF IT'S WONDERFUL” What If It's Wonderful? Author and marriage and family therapist Nicole Zasowski knows that it's difficult to trust joy and find the courage to celebrate when you have endured seasons of disappointment and despair. When God has been your faithful anchor in the storm, does joy then leave you unmoored? Nicole reminds us that we can stay tethered to the hope of Christ in seasons of celebration, because even joyful days hold the learning, growth, and intimate encounters with Jesus that our hearts crave. What If It's Wonderful? offers a new perspective. With a compelling psychological and spiritual case for the importance of embracing joy and celebration, even when it feels scary. https://www.nicolezasowski.com/wonderful  We invite you to check out the first episode of each of our series, and decide which one you will want to start with.

Prayer is quite simply communicating with God. Prayer is the central avenue God uses to transform us. In his book, Celebration of Discipline, Richard Foster said: of all the spiritual disciplines prayer is the most central because it ushers us into perpetual communion with the Father. This perpetual communion with God will make you stronger so that you will be available to bemused by God. The goal is to be taught to see things the way that God sees them! In this episode of the podcast, Pastor Alex encourages you to grow your prayer life.         Alex Bryant Ministries is focused on helping people be reconciled to God, then within one's own self, and finally being reconciled to our fellow man in order to become disciples.    Connect with us and our resources:     Our books - Let's Start Again & Man UP    More about us    Follow us on Facebook or Instagram

Stephanie is delighted to welcome Richard Foster, the author of one of the most influential books in her life, Celebration of Discipline. Today, Richard, with Brenda Quinn, talk about the power of learning humility. He tells Stephanie, “The practice of humility has made me playful and free.” In our culture of raging narcissism, Richard calls humility the "vanishing virtue." He says that practicing humility has been "playful, freeing, fun, and freedom from [his] need to feel important." How wonderful! When Stephanie asks about how to learn humility, Richard answers, “We learn humility by taking up other tasks, like serving others.” Richard explains that humility is a secret gift that keeps on giving. He says, “one of the things we need to learn is to embrace and enjoy anonymity.” Richard encourages us to develop a passion for culture, encouraging each one if us to keep on living at the intersection of culture and Scripture here at Gospel Spice. He says, “look for the finger of God at work through every culture.” He adds, “in every culture there are things that are consonant with Scripture, and some that are dissonant. Our task is to discern among them.” In a society where raging narcissism dominates the moral landscape, the virtue of humility is often dismissed as irrelevant. Not only is humility vanishing from contemporary culture, but we are also witnessing how destructive a lack of humility has become among our churches and ministry leaders. And yet, Richard Foster, the founder of Renovare, insists that humility is central to the journey toward character formation and spiritual transformation. For this reason he decided to spend a year studying the virtue of humility. Using the Lakota calendar as a framework, Foster provides us with a look into the insights he gathered from sources ranging from Native American culture to Julian of Norwich to Scripture to personal friends. By engaging with both the spiritual classics and Foster's own experiences, Learning Humility provides profound insight into what humility can look like in our current cultural climate. Join Richard Foster on Gospel Spice today, and embrace the journey toward a life of humility, which he says leads us into "freedom, joy, and holy hilarity."

Grace and peace to you. I'm Rev. Joe Cailles, the pastor of Peakland United Methodist Church in Lynchburg Virginia. Welcome to Wisdom Wednesdays. I'm posting videos each Wednesday sharing devotions and church news. During this season of Lent, we at Peakland have been reading this book, Celebration of Discipline by Richard Foster. Over the past five weeks, we at Peakland have read about the spiritual disciplines of prayer and meditation, Fasting and Study, Simplicity and Solitude, submission and service, worship and confession. This is my third or fourth time reading this book with a congregation. I think I first read Celebration of Discipline 20 years ago, a few years after the start of my professional United Methodist ministry, and each time I read it again with folks, something new pops out for me. My biggest takeaways from this season with Celebration of Discipline is that we're not to just read about these disciplines and discuss them and consider them, we really do need to practice these disciplines. That's probably obvious to most people, but I felt challenged this season into trying the disciplines I don't usually do and finding new ways of doing the disciplines I almost always do. This go around, I was taken with the palms up and palms down prayer posture that Foster describes in the prayer chapter. His religious background is with the Quaker community and this is a Quaker form of prayer. Palms turned over and facing down when we want to turn over our fears and anxieties and concerns to the Lord. By turning them over to God, we let God take them and make a new way for us. With palms up, we open ourselves to listen and learn and receive from God. This Lent, I've been using the palms up and palms down in Sunday worship, with the staff during our prayer time together, and in my own devotions. As I said this past Sunday during worship, fasting from meals has never been a strong discipline for me, and John Wesley would not approve of my negligence there, but I this Lent I experimented with fasting from screen time and instead used the time reading from actual books, which I found most fulfilling. My hope for myself and for all of us is that we keep up with these disciplines beyond Lent. My hope for all of us is that prayer and meditation, service and worship, fasting and confession and all the other disciplines become not just good habits that we do, but a way of life. Confession isn't just a single prayer on Sunday morning. Instead, we live ready to ask forgiveness and to offer forgiveness and to seek reconciliation all the time. Worship is not just confined to a single hour on Sunday, but we live each day, aware of God's amazing grace shining on us. Service isn't just something we do when it's convenient for us to do but we stand ready to respond with help when and where we are needed. Prayer and meditation, speaking and listening to God is ongoing and as regular as eating and drinking and walking and breathing. Even fasting and submission and the disciplines we each struggle with, we take small steps and see what God reveals to us. I have been deeply blessed this Lenten season with Richard Foster and with you. Next Sunday, April 2 is Palm Sunday and the start of Holy Week. Peakland will worship next Sunday as a united congregation in a single worship service at 9:45 in the sanctuary. We'll gather in person in the sanctuary and will also livestream the service. Peakland gathers for worship on Thursday April 6 at 7:00 p.m. for our Maundy Thursday worship and Friday, April 7 at 7:00 p.m. for Good Friday. Both of those services will be in person only. And then on Easter Sunday, April 9, we have three plus one worship services. We'll worship at our three usual times and in our usual places 8:30, 11:00 in the sanctuary and 9:45 Horizons worship. The 11:00 a.m. Easter worship will be livestreamed. We'll also gather for a sunrise service at 6:30 a.m. on Easter Sunday, April 9.

In this new series, pastors Erica, Sarah, and Steve each highlight voices from the Christian family from traditions other than their own.  Since Christianity spans two millennia, numerous spiritual traditions, theological perspectives, and denominational histories from around the world, there are a lot of people we can learn from, even while we own and claim our own traditions and heritages.  In this first episode, Erica shares with us the work and witness of Richard Foster, who comes from the Quaker tradition, and who is well-known, among other things, for his book, Celebration of Discipline, which explores Christian faith practices, approaches to prayer, and other spiritual disciplines.  Along the way, we'll explore how to bring our needs to Jesus, and how to listen for Jesus' call to each of us for what he would call us to do in any given moment.  Join us for a new series highlighting some faithful voices spanning Christian history and tradition, here on Crazy Faith Talk!

Today, it is a privilege to share with you one of my favorite books of all time. It's called the Celebration of Discipline by Richard Foster. I was introduced to this book in my 12th grade Bible class believe it or not, in high school, and it opened my eyes to the depths of Christianity, friend. And I don't know about you. I'm tired of surface, trite, make-it-what-you-want-it Christianity. I want the real God of the universe. I want what he has to say, even if it's hard to hear it. This book showed me the practices that we can do as believers to welcome Jesus into our very real lives and to hear his very real voice a little bit clearer. I'll be honest. These disciplines, they aren't easy. They are not for the faint of heart, but they are good. And they have changed me. Also a little PSA on the side. This is the 11th of 12 books we are reading this year in the Nancy Ray Book Club. I'll do a podcast about the 12th book, Parenting With Love And Logic, in January, as we're still all in the middle of finishing reading that book. But I did want to let you know the new 2021 book club list is live! You can see all of the books that I've chosen to read in 2021 by heading here. I'm really excited about the lineup. You're always welcome to join in for as few or as many books as you want.
