Podcasts about christlike

Let's be honest — some people and situations make it really hard to be Christlike. In this episode, Thomas and Kari dive into what it looks like to apply grace to the everyday annoyances of life — from the rude coworker to the long grocery line to that never-ending family drama. With a mix of humor, Scripture, and real-life stories, they'll explore how to respond with kindness when it's easier to snap, and why living with grace doesn't mean becoming a doormat. Spoiler: there's grace for that... and for you, too.

Today is a holy day. Good Friday commemorates the crucifixion of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. His sacrifice was one of the greatest displays of love and selflessness, calling each of us to bear our own cross alongside Him. But what does Christ's sacrifice truly mean, and how can we live in righteousness in a world that often sees evil as good and good as evil? Next up, Pastor Tom Laipply joins the show to honor Christ and discuss with Joe what today and Easter weekend mean for Christians, exploring Christ's struggles and how we can honor the crucifixion and resurrection. They'll also dive into calling out foolishness and rebuking others without malice, emphasizing forgiveness and Christlike strength—rejecting the modern Christian stereotype of being a weak, passive lamb. It's about balancing unwavering strength without cruelty and forgiveness without being a pushover. All this and more on today's Untamed.

Gwen Shamblin has gone down in history for her promotion of a very specific Christian lifestyle. One that included harsh discipline in daily life. The kind of discipline that caused eating disorders and child abuse in members of this church. 10:38-17:10 Daniela discusses her experience growing up with ties to Gwen's teachings—unbeknownst to her. 17:11 A lifestyle and brand built on being thin and sin-free emerges.Gwen's adjusts her life to better suit her image for the brand she was building in the church.18:38 The church had money from all the businesses that sprang up around it to support this specific lifestyle. Gwen's daughter suffers a great loss when her son passes away from SIDS, rather than support, she was met with shame and guilt due to the toxic teachings.Gwen's son Michael does not fit the mold and is ejected from the picture, his presence onstage was no longer required. Michael holds bitterness against the church from his traumas.21:24 Ex members speak up about their experiences in the church. The fear-based control allows for Gwen's rise to the top, prophet-tier.22:17 Members are negatively impacted by the rules of the church—a murder is linked to the church however it's only fuel for her mission as she defends her teachings. 8 year old Josef Smith was found dead, having been beaten and left in a box for hours in the Smith family home October 2003.Rather than show remorse, Gwen and her church backed the family and paid for lawyers.This is what got the public's attention, placing this cult in the spotlight of the media. The group played it as “their church being persecuted”.26:03 Joe Lara plays the role of Gwens husband almost too well and they are rolling in their “blessings” when their lives end in an accident. As she enjoyed her peak, she fell from grace, along with her empire. What will the future hold for the church?Resources Hotlines:https://www.thehotline.org/resources/what-is-spiritual-abuse/https://www.tearsofeden.org/https://forensiccounselor.org/?Topics_of_Interest__Cults_and_Support_for_Former_Cult_Membershttps://www.peopleleavecults.com/https://www.aetv.com/shows/cults-and-extreme-belief/exclusives/cults-and-extreme-belief-resourceshttps://www.recoveringfromreligion.org/#rfr-welcomehttps://www.reclamationcollective.com/Sources: https://allthatsinteresting.com/gwen-shamblinhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gwen_Shamblin_Lara

This Holy Thursday message centers on the powerful and intimate moment when Jesus, knowing His death was near, chose not to grasp for power but to kneel in service. Instead of issuing a final command or performing a grand miracle, Jesus picked up a towel and washed His disciples' feet—an act reserved for the lowest servant.  The sermon by Pastor Lonnie unpacks this stunning reversal of expectations: the Teacher becomes the servant, the Master takes the lowest place, and love is expressed through humble action. It calls us not just to admire this moment but to live it out—serving others without thought of reward and embracing the towel as a symbol of Christlike love.Through acts of kindness, compassion, and humility, we reveal Jesus to a watching world. The towel is more than a prop—it is an invitation. As Jesus washed feet, so we are called to embody His love, laying down control and stepping into the posture of a servant. The basin is still full. The towel is still waiting. Will you pick it up?

It’s Holy Week, and today, Karl and Crew discussed the impact of Christ-like compassion on others. Jesus was very compassionate to those around Him, and we saw this in Matthew 21:14-17 when He healed the blind and lame that came to the temple. As followers of Christ, we are to mirror Christ's actions in being compassionate towards others because that compassion could possibly be a blessing to them. We also had Dr. Alex McFarland join us to discuss the questions every Christian is asking or soon will be. Dr. McFarland is a Christian apologist, author, evangelist, religion and culture analyst, youth expert, and advocate for biblical truth. He also serves as the Director of Worldview for Charis Bible College and co-hosts the “Truth and Liberty” TV Broadcast. He has also authored several books and is a national contributing writer to various resources.

What do Mr. Rogers, the founder of LEGO, and a civil rights legend have in common? They were all "mere Christians" doing extraordinary things through ordinary work. In this episode of the Embracing Brokenness Podcast, Steve welcomes back bestselling author Jordan Raynor to dive into his latest book, 5 Mere Christians—a fresh, binge-worthy collection of biographies showing how everyday believers glorify God in powerful, practical ways.From Fred Rogers' Christlike presence to Fannie Lou Hamer's fearless justice, Jordan shares untold stories that will leave you inspired, challenged, and maybe even in tears (in the best way). You'll hear:✅ Why “secular” work is sacred✅ How to eliminate hurry and live like Jesus✅ What CS Lewis, a former atheist, teaches us about discipleship✅ How your daily work—no matter what it is—matters for eternity

We're back! Joe has returned from Mexico and Nick has returned from an unfortunate act of wire-cutting. We catch up on how things are going with our themes, discuss how life (and theology) keeps adding complexity, and think about how we respond to fear when, inevitably, it arrives. Also we talk a little more about the need to embrace uncertainty, and the importance of telling yourself some good stories. Meanwhile does Nick have a poltergeist or just a very clean rodent?

Christlike thinking fuels Christlike loving and overflows into Christlike living. Godly conduct flows from a godly heart that is informed by a godly mind. How are the messages of James and Peter similar? How do both stir us to renew our minds in a way that fuels our heart that bears the fruit of service in our lives?

This week Pastor Les Cody continues the series, Fruit of The Spirit, expanding our understanding of Kindness and what it means to truly be kind. Focusing on scriptures from Galatians 5, he highlights the importance of asking The Lord where we lack fruit and where we can become fully dependent upon The Spirit. Further, Pastor Les describes how the spirit of the age demands you to be “nice” at the expense of being “Kind.” True love expresses itself through truth-filled kindness.  When your version of “kindness" prioritizes someone's comfort over their transformation, that's not Christlike humility—it's pride masquerading as compassion. Real kindness doesn't serve your reputation; it serves theirs!    The vision of Mercy Culture is to take people from corporate encounters with God to daily personal encounters with God. At Mercy Culture, one of our unique characteristics is that we are a presence driven church. We are not built around any person or ministry. We are built around the presence of God.

What kind of man are you when no one is watching? Do you fall to the temptations of sloth, gluttony, or lust? As Christians, we are called to be more like Christ—but sometimes we forget what that actually looks like. A sure way to evaluate whether we are being Christlike is to ask: Am I the same man when I'm alone as I am at church, with my family, or at my men's group? Join us as we prepare for Holy Week, and challenge yourself to become consistent, just as Jesus was consistent. Follow His example: set your face like flint, feel the weight of the wood on your shoulder, and heave up your cross.

We welcomed Dennis Bunio back to our pulpit!  He preached from 1 John 3:11-24 about how we are all prone to forgetting what is essential in life.  In this passage, God's Word reminds us that the basic essential for all relationships needs to be Christlike love.  Dennis also shared what he has been doing with HART International Relief and Missions.

In this message, Pastor Chris Cheema explores the centrality of love in Christian life, emphasizing that all spiritual gifts, knowledge, and even acts of faith are meaningless without love. The message is grounded in biblical teachings, particularly 1 Corinthians 13, and highlights how love should be the foundation of every believer's actions. Pastor Chris urges the body of Christ to move beyond superficial expressions of faith and embody Christlike love in daily interactions, relationships, and service. The teaching challenges individuals to examine their hearts and align their lives with God's love, ultimately transforming their faith into a genuine, impactful witness.

What are your “default” thoughts? What are your “default” actions? Are you pleased with either of these? Do you wish you would think more positively and act more Christlike? Would you like that to be your “default”? Change is possible but it's going to take practice, practice, practice. That's because deep neural ruts and connections have been formed in our brains by our past “default.” Today we discuss how to make those changes we so desperately need and want by working with the brain's natural God-given design. The brain is designed to eliminate unnecessary connections and strengthen important ones. This means we have the ability to let go of negative thoughts, painful memories, and lie-based beliefs—while reinforcing faith, peace, and truth.I'll give you three areas to focus on to begin to make that change: pruning, feeding and fasting, and sleep.Resources Mentioned:·       For more tools, questions for reflection, and resources to help you on your journey, download the Listener's Guide for this episode: Scriptures Mentioned:·       Colossians 3:2, Romans 8:11, Romans 12:2, 2 Corinthians 10:5, John 15:2Are you wondering how Life Coaching works?

A few years ago, in his talk "Revelation for the Church, Revelation for Our Lives," President Nelson asked this question that we've all probably yearned to know the answer: "How do we become the men and women, the Christlike servants that the Lord needs us to be? How can we find answers to the questions that perplex us?" And his prescription to this soul-deep question: personal revelation. He said, "The heavens are open and God speaks to his children." Today's conversation is all about understanding personal revelation and how we can develop a relationship with God where we can draw on his power. Janiece Johnson joins this conversation to discuss the doctrines of revelation found in the Doctrine and Covenants. Janiece is a church historian, an acquisition director at Deseret Book, and her new book Themes in the Doctrine and Covenants: Revelation lends itself to today's topic.   Follow us on Instagram!

In this insightful episode of Words of Grace, Benjamin Winslett explores the profound meaning behind Matthew 5:9 — “Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.” What does it truly mean to be a peacemaker? Is it about enforcing peace through strength, or is there a deeper, more Christlike approach? … Continue reading "Blessed Are The Peacemakers"

Jesus plainly tells us in Matthew 7:1 that we are not to judge others. Ah, if only it were that easy! The fact of the matter is, the New Testament gives us many examples of things we are to make judgments about. At first glance, this can sound like a massive contradiction. Don't judge! Wait; DO judge, and here is your list! As with any apparent Bible contradiction, all we need to do is understand the two apparently differing views in their appropriate context and we will end up with a harmonious and powerful lesson. The reason our Christian responsibility towards judgment comes across this way is to remind us of the importance of how we do things. Standing as a representative of Jesus means working to respond to all things the way Jesus did. On this episode, we explore Jesus' instructions in Matthew 7:1-2: “Do not judge so that you will not be judged.” While this statement seems straightforward, the New Testament provides instances where judgment is necessary, creating an apparent contradiction. However, this paradox is resolved when judgment is understood within its proper context, as actions guided by humility, self-awareness and Christlike love. Warnings Against Judgment Jesus cautions against judgment with wrong motives, such as jealousy, self-righteousness or revenge. The “speck and log” analogy (Matthew 7:3-5) highlights the need for self-examination before addressing others' flaws. Without addressing personal faults, one's judgment becomes hypocritical and destructive. Proper Judgment as a Responsibility Righteous judgment is required in certain circumstances: Disputes within the Christian community: 1 Corinthians 6 advises resolving conflicts among Christians rather than relying on secular courts. Identifying false prophets: Matthew 7:15-20 calls for discerning false teachers through their actions and “fruits,” ensuring biblical integrity. Addressing moral issues: 1 Corinthians 5 stresses confronting immoral behavior within the church with humility and firmness. Selecting church leaders: 1 Timothy 3 outlines qualifications for overseers, emphasizing Christlike character. Acts 14 describes congregations independently electing their leaders. Defending the gospel: Christians are tasked with guarding the gospel's purity (Galatians 1:6-8) and refuting distorted teachings. Guidelines for Righteous Judgment To judge righteously, Christians must align their actions with scriptural principles and examine their motivations. They must avoid presuming others' motives and practice empathy to soften judgment. The ultimate goal is to glorify God through humility and love. Jesus exemplified righteous judgment and humility, choosing not to retaliate against his persecutors. His teachings emphasize focusing on personal growth, achieving “sanctified eyesight” by fixing one's eyes on Christ (Hebrews 12:1-2). This clear, single-minded focus enables Christians to judge with compassion and wisdom. Romans 14 reminds believers to respect differences in faith practices, refraining from judging others in matters of conscience and personal convictions. Practical Applications Judgment should never be arbitrary or lead with ego. Instead, Christians are to approach situations with humility, scriptural insight and a genuine desire to uplift others. By prioritizing empathy and understanding, they can avoid toxic, superficial judgments. While Christians are called to judge in specific circumstances, they must approach judgment with humility and godliness, ensuring their actions mirror Christ. The focus remains on fostering love, good deeds and mutual encouragement within the faith community. Ultimately, righteous judgment glorifies God and strengthens Christlike character.

Full Text of ReadingsThird Sunday of Lent Lectionary: 28, 30The Saint of the day is Saint Turibius of MogrovejoSaint Turibius of Mogrovejo's Story Together with Rose of Lima, Turibius is the first known saint of the New World, serving the Lord in Peru, South America, for 26 years. Born in Spain and educated for the law, he became so brilliant a scholar that he was made professor of law at the University of Salamanca and eventually became chief judge of the Inquisition at Granada. He succeeded too well. But he was not sharp enough a lawyer to prevent a surprising sequence of events. When the archdiocese of Lima in Peru required a new leader, Turibius was chosen to fill the post: He was the one person with the strength of character and holiness of spirit to heal the scandals that had infected that area. He cited all the canons that forbade giving laymen ecclesiastical dignities, but he was overruled. Turibius was ordained priest and bishop and sent to Peru, where he found colonialism at its worst. The Spanish conquerors were guilty of every sort of oppression of the native population. Abuses among the clergy were flagrant, and he devoted his energies and suffering to this area first. He began the long and arduous visitation of an immense archdiocese, studying the language, staying two or three days in each place, often with neither bed nor food. Turibius confessed every morning to his chaplain, and celebrated Mass with intense fervor. Among those to whom he gave the Sacrament of Confirmation was the future Saint Rose of Lima, and possibly the future Saint Martin de Porres. After 1590, he had the help of another great missionary, Francis Solanus, now also a saint. Though very poor his people were sensitive, dreading to accept public charity from others. Turibius solved the problem by helping them anonymously. Reflection The Lord indeed writes straight with crooked lines. Against his will, and from the unlikely springboard of an Inquisition tribunal, this man became the Christlike shepherd of a poor and oppressed people. God gave him the gift of loving others as they needed it. Saint Christopher: Fact or Fiction? Saint of the Day, Copyright Franciscan Media

In 1 Timothy 5, Paul instructs Timothy to lead boldly while, at the same time, treating others with respect, compassion, and humility. Whether correcting an older man, mentoring younger believers, or caring for widows in need, the church must reflect a godly family—one that loves unconditionally, but not at the expense of truth. A godly community cares for the vulnerable, supports one another, and reflects a culture where Christlike love is evident in both word and action.Connect: https://www.wellspringcc.org/connectOnline Giving: https://www.wellspringcc.org/givingAbout Wellspring: https://www.wellspringcc.org/aboutCCLI Copyright License # 1194988CCLI Streaming License # 20224379
