Get A Free Coaching Call with Alli  -https://alliworthington.com/freecoaching    These episodes are favorites because I gather leading voices on a single topic to help you learn practical ways to set boundaries and find genuine, lasting rest. Today, we focus on both boundaries and soul-deep rest—essentials we all need but often neglect.   We're talking about healthy boundaries, Sabbath rhythms, the invisible pressures women face, and practical ways to build rest into your life so you can experience greater renewal and resilience. These conversations share hard-won wisdom from those who have lived, studied, and practiced it.   If you've ever thought, “I need better boundaries,” or “I wish I could rest, but my life won't let me,” this episode is for you. You have permission to rest. Choose one practical strategy from today's episode and make space for rest this week. We're not just talking about rest—we're making room for it.   Timestamps:  (00:45) -The Hidden Cost of Busyness with John Mark Comer (08:20) - Rewriting the Story We've Been Told About Work and Rest in Christian Culture with Terra Mattson (14:08) - The Big Boundary Mistakes Women Make with Dr. Sasha Shillcutt (18:47) - Why Your Soul Needs Sabbath with John Mark Comer (22:32) - Practical, Real-Life Ways to Build Rest Into Your Week with Jess Connolly WATCH ALLI  ON YOUTUBE   Links to great things we discussed:    John Mark Comer's Website Terra Mattson's Website Dr. Sasha Shillcutt's Website Jess Connolly's Website The Uplift app is here!

In today's episode of She Lives Purposefully, my husband Donny joins me for a Christian culture conversation about what's happening in faith, media, and the church right now. From Christian music to new faith-based shows to apologetics conversations happening online, we talk through some of the topics Christians are discussing right now—and how we're actually convicted by them.  We ask important questions: Are we actually open to what God wants to do in our lives? Do I believe in the power of the God of old Bible stories?  And we're challenged to remember: Our world is actually very spiritual and we're called to be ready in and out of season to share the gospel AND to be bold to do so. This episode touches on spiritual warfare, bold faith, and the importance of being ready to stand for truth in and out of season, fasting from secular music and from Instagram, and more. Topics we discuss • Josiah Queen's song “Demons” • The new House of David show • Our reflections on Lent so far and what God has been teaching us • Wesley Huff on The Diary of a CEO and the importance of apologetics in modern culture • Why Christians need to be ready to defend their faith • Remembering that our world is deeply spiritual, not just physical • Believing that God can still take down giants LINKS: Daily Grace Co SALE and new Motherhood study: https://thedailygraceco.com?dt_id=293954 Learn more about your ad choices.

Send a textSkiing is fun. Apparently. (And so is pretending we didn't ghost you for six months.)Episode 128 is a pure catch-up chaos special: Jesse, Jen, and Evan reconvene to explain where the heck they've been, why the show went dark, and what it might look like to keep this thing alive from afar.We dig into:The “we've been busy” recap (translation: life exploded) Evan being “back”… but also not back… but also kind of back The plan: try this again for ~6 months, likely one episode a month, while figuring out remote recording logistics Grassroots updates: new building, Craig as part-time pastor, plus others speaking A quick Lone Canary plug: new album Dime Store Horses, vinyl, and a potential CO/NM/(maybe) Dakotas tour routeEvan's update: now lead pastor at Morning Star Friends Church (Quaker), adapting “missional community” thinking in a more conservative, wealthy suburban context And the big teaser: Evan is writing a book tentatively titled Igniting Suburbia about missional life in the suburbs Then, because it's us, we debate whether “AF” is still cool and brainstorm renaming the show into something extremely unserious. So crack open an NA beer, throw a ketchup pun at your friends, and tell us what topics you actually want—because if y'all don't interact, Jen threatened to quit again.

Hey y'all! Kaleb and I are Kicking off our Month of Love series by tackling a topic we ALL start at: singleness. Whether you're single and thriving, single and frustrated, or just figuring it out — this episode is for you. We got real about what it's like being single in today's culture (Christian and not), the myths we were fed, and how to actually make the most of your single season. We talked about red flags, emotional baggage, addiction, and yes — the espresso martini epidemic

Episode number is 239 of The Truth Response.What does it really mean when Scripture says, “Be fruitful and multiply”? Is it a timeless command, a cultural mandate, or something deeper that the church has struggled to talk about in a complicated world?In this episode, the conversation explores faith, family, culture, and the challenges facing the modern church. From the decline of the nuclear family to the pressures of career, convenience, and cost of living, the hosts wrestle honestly with why the church often feels quiet on procreation—and what Scripture actually calls believers to value.Clarity in chaos. Bringing hope to a chaotic world. This episode invites listeners into a thoughtful, grace-filled discussion that encourages biblical reflection without easy answers, reminding us that God's design is always rooted in life, purpose, and hope.

Pastor Dan Burrell and host, Josh Brahm, engage in a lively chat regarding whether or not any of the popular elements in Christian culture are overrated or underrated. 

Welcome to 2026.In this episode of Calibrate Conversations, Brady shares the vision for the year ahead—what topics we'll be covering, why they matter, and how we plan to approach them with biblical clarity, gospel hope, and compassion.As culture grows increasingly divided, many Christians feel overwhelmed, unsure how to respond to issues surrounding sexuality, gender ideology, schools, libraries, and public policy—especially when kids are involved. This year, Calibrate Conversations will intentionally engage those cultural intersections without losing sight of the Gospel.You'll hear about:* Why we're addressing cultural and policy issues* What's happening in libraries and schools—and why parents need to be informed* Gender ideology, so-called “gender-affirming care,” and protecting children* Biblical gender roles and why they matter for sexuality* Testimonies of redemption, restoration, and hope* How Christians can stand firm in truth while extending graceOur goal is simple: to equip the body of Christ to be faithful, courageous, and compassionate in a confusing cultural moment—and to remind you that God is still redeeming and restoring lives.Timestamps:00:00 – Welcome to 2026 & Vision for the Year02:05 – Why We're Addressing Culture Without Outrage05:12 – The State of Cultural Division Today08:40 – What's Happening in Libraries (And Why Parents Should Care)14:30 – Schools, Gender Ideology, and Parental Rights20:45 – Why “Gender-Affirming Care” Is a Gospel Issue27:10 – Protecting Kids While Trusting Christ32:40 – Biblical Gender Roles & Why This Matters39:25 – Egalitarianism, Complementarianism, and the Church45:50 – Stories of Hope, Redemption, and Restoration52:10 – Final Encouragement & Call to FaithfulnessJoin us weekly as we strive help people embrace God's standard for sexuality! Other ways to listen:https://linktr.ee/calibrateconversations#2026 #CalibrateConversations #Jesus

This episode of Uncommon Sense with Ginny Robinson takes a hard look at the growing contradictions surrounding Erika Kirk and the direction of TPUSA's AmFest (or should I say IsFest). From Charlie Kirk's own recorded warnings about bad cultural role models to TPUSA turning around and platforming those very same celebrities (Nicki Minaj included) whose lifestyles openly contradict Christian teaching, the hypocrisy is no longer ignorable.We're breaking down how moral inconsistency, pop-culture appeasement, and ideological confusion are rotting the conservative movement from the inside out. America First cannot exist without Christianity first—not as a buzzword, not as branding, but as the moral and cultural foundation of who we are. And right now, we are watching our spiritual and national identity slip away in real time.When so-called Christian leaders blur lines, excuse the very behavior they once condemned, and choose influence over truth, they don't just lose credibility, they lose the plot (and they lose the people who trusted them).This episode is a call for honesty, consistency, and real conservative leadership rooted in the Christian values they claim to stand for. Not clout, not platforms, and not sinful worldliness.We don't need people playing leaders.We need actual leadership.—https://www.bible.com/

In this episode of Uncommon Sense, I'm discussing my changing views on Israel, Donald Trump, and Candace Owens and why principles grounded in Scripture must always matter more than personalities.I'll discuss how easy it is to get swept up in political figures, influencers, and movements… all while forgetting that God alone is who we should be following. The devil is just like a stalker prowling around, watching, scheming, seeking someone to devour. And in these chaotic times, he's using deception, manipulation, and emotional brainwashing to pull people into confusion and ultimately into Hell.In this episode, we're talking about how the synagogue of Satan is operating openly today, pushing narratives meant to distract and divide. I am urging my listeners to stay anchored in the Word, remain spiritually alert, and refuse to be seduced by personalities, platforms, or “conservative celebrities” who very well may not be aligned with God's truth.Ultimately, we all need to return to the Bible (now more than ever) and to guard our minds and souls as the days grow darker and darker.--https://www.bible.com/

Church attendance in America peaked in the mid-20th century, but since then, Christianity has steadily declined in influence. What was once viewed positively—and later tolerated as just one option among many—is now often regarded with suspicion or outright hostility. In today's cultural climate, Christian morality is dismissed and even seen as a threat to the new moral order. Aaron M. Renn traces this 70-year shift in cultural attitudes toward Christianity and offers practical strategies for churches, institutions, and believers.  Listen in as Dr. Jeff and Aaron discuss: *How Christians can remain faithful in a society that opposes their values *What opportunities exist for living missionally in the “negative world” *Lessons from the past that can guide us into the future To register for Summit Student Conferences, visit: Summit.org/students/ For additional free resources from Summit, go to: Summit.org/resources

In Who Is the Unknown God?, Dr. Michael Youssef confronts the idolatry of modern culture with the boldness of the Apostle Paul in Acts 17. Preaching in a city filled with gods, Paul exposes the emptiness of false worship and proclaims the risen Christ as the only Savior and Judge. Dr. Youssef warns that idols are not just carved statues—they are anything that takes the place of the one true God. From false religion to pleasure, pride, and power, every idol will be judged. God is calling all people to repent, for a day of judgment is coming. This message calls believers to intercede, to proclaim Truth with urgency, and to live unashamed of the Gospel in a world darkened by deception.

In Keeping Your Integrity Intact, Dr. Michael Youssef warns that the pursuit of popularity is a dangerous trap that leads to compromise and spiritual ruin. Preaching from Acts 14, he contrasts the fleeting praise of the crowd with the steadfast character of Paul and Barnabas—men who refused to be worshiped and remained faithful to the Gospel even when the same crowd turned violent. With bold clarity, Dr. Youssef calls believers to reject the applause of man and live for the glory of Christ alone. In a world obsessed with fame and self-promotion, this message anchors us in the unchanging Truth of Scripture and urges us to guard our integrity, pursue repentance, and walk in obedience to the Lord who never changes.

Send us a textIn this week's episode of BuddyWalk with Jesus, we're talking about the practice of attention. God is always active forming us, guiding us, revealing His presence in the world around us. But often we're too distracted to notice. Together, we'll explore how to become more aware of God's action and activity in our daily lives, drawing from passages like Genesis 28, Philippians 1, and Psalm 19.We'll also talk about simple, practical ways to cultivate attentiveness so we can live in step with God's forming work in us.Support the show If you have any questions about the subjects covered in today's episode you can find us on Facebook at the links below or you can shoot me an email at joe@buddywalkwithjesus.com One Stop Shop for all the links Linktr.ee/happydeamedia

So, we thought we would pick his brain about where Catholics often go wrong in their pursuit of the goals of Catholic social teaching and why simply loving the place where you live and serving it well is one of the best things you can do to bring about a more just society.
