Podcasts about circumstances

You have a new roommate named “Anxiety” and you never invited her to live with you. If one more thing goes wrong, you don't think you can take it. The circumstances in your life seem to be ganging up on you. But wait a minute. Is it the circumstances or is it something or someone else? Circumstances get way too much credit for the lack of peace. The real problem is often closer to home. It's the person in the mirror. And we all have a person in the mirror, so this episode isn't pointing fingers or playing the blame game. I am included in the list of suspects! We all tend to do things that rob our lives of peace, and it is often unintended. Busy people have the tendency to make mistakes faster! We're flying through life, trying to cram as much into each day as possible before going to bed. And then we wake up, lather, rinse, and repeat. Disturbing our own peace is a habit worth losing. This is a practical episode looking into three common areas where we tend to cause personal disturbances. You already know these things, but reminders often spark changes that were waiting to happen. Let's consider three things we can check and change to restore and protect the peace that God wants us to have.

Message from Rev. Jason Palacio on February 15, 2026

Introduction Some of you may remember walking through this passage years ago. Others were not here yet. A lot has changed since then. Seasons change. Circumstances change. People change. But the gospel has not changed, and it has not slowed down. Paul writes Philippians from prison. Not a metaphorical…

A few quotes will give a good taste of the riches in this book:"A man is literally what he thinks, his character being the complete sum of all his thoughts.""Cherish your visions. Cherish your ideals. Cherish the music that stirs in your heart, the beauty that forms in your mind, the loveliness that drapes your purest thoughts, for out of them will grow all delightful conditions, all heavenly environment, of these, if you but remain true to them your world will at last be built.""The soul attracts that which it secretly harbors, that which it loves, and also that which it fears. It reaches the height of its cherished aspirations. It falls to the level of its unchastened desires – and circumstances are the means by which the soul receives its own.""Men are anxious to improve their circumstances, but are unwilling to improve themselves, they therefore remain bound.""Every action and feeling is preceded by a thought.""Right thinking begins with the words we say to ourselves.""Circumstance does not make the man, it reveals him to himself.""You cannot travel within and stand still without.""As the physically weak man can make himself strong by careful and patient training, so the man of weak thoughts, can make them strong by exercising himself in right thinking.""Every man is where he is by the law of his being; the thoughts which he has built into his character have brought him there, and in the arrangement of his life there is no element of chance, but all is the result of a law which cannot err." - Summary by the authorRead by Phil ChenevertGenre(s): Self-HelpLanguage: EnglishKeyword(s): psychology 

The Philippian church faced trails and persecution just like the church now. Surprisingly, Paul admonishes us to dwell on what is true, good, and beautiful, making merry and enjoying contentment in all circumstances. How is this possible? Purely through Christ. This chapter is a practical guide to joyful Christian living.

Some jobs just can't be done. Circumstances, events and a changing world simply make them undoable.This week, David Yelland and Simon Lewis ask whether one such job is communicating on behalf of the Prime Minister. Not just this Prime Minister, but any Prime Minister.After only five months, the PM's Director of Communications, Tim Allan has quit. He's the fourth person to hold the role under Sir Keir Starmer. The old levers of PR clearly aren't working and there seems to be a general bafflement has to how to get the public onboard.Put simply, is Downing Street now beyond PR?On the extended edition on BBC Sounds, how Buckingham Palace is rapidly changing its PR game. Widely criticised for being too slow to react to the scandal around Andrew Mountbatten Windsor, the Palace is going on the front foot - with two statements that would've been inconceivable just months ago. Plus there's nothing like a formal letter from the Government to put you in the mood for love. That's the hope anyway. In France, all 29-year-olds are being written to - to remind them of their duty to have babies. As you might expect, there's been something of a backlash.Producer: Duncan Middleton Editor: Sarah Teasdale Executive Producer: Eve Streeter Music by Eclectic Sounds A Raconteur Studios production for BBC Radio 4

Send a textFan, Follower, and Fellow Playwright Travis Williams, dropped into the Playwright's Spotlight after a random and serendipitous meetup in public. In this conversation, we discuss his origin into playwriting and the possibilities of being a "living" playwright and a playwright's success, his lessons from living in Chicago and learning the order of character, narrative, and theme, and playing with timelines. We also delve into directing and performing your own work as well as active and practical sets and props, the evolution of his play To Each Their Own while in Chicago and the accessibility of the Windy City's market. We compare the midwest market to L.A., the influence of Stephen King on Travis' writing and the horror genre, the secrets of suspense in playwriting, keeping stasis, and using language to heighten suspense. We wrap things up stage directions in the horror genre, the implementation of stage directions and foley in other mediums in the horror genre, the use of playwriting in other mediums, the recycling of devices, ensuring a good ending lands, and the secret of revisiting the first 25 pages. It's an encapsulating discussion that won't disappoint. Enjoy!Travis Williams is a playwright, radio dramatist, screenwriter, and actor. He is a five time finalist and 2016 winner of WildClaw Theatre's Deathscribe - The International Festival of Horror Radio Plays, with his plays The Wall, Strange Weather, Back in Baby's Arms, The Quake (2016 Winner), and Creatures of Circumstance.

How Christ's Love for the Church Redefines Marriage | Ephesians 5Marriage can be hard. The person you married changes. Circumstances shift. Feelings fade. And you're left asking, "How do I keep loving when I don't feel it anymore?"Pastor Roderick Webster addresses this struggle head-on in today's Words From The Word devotion. Opening Ephesians 5:25-33 (KJV), he reveals a love that doesn't depend on feelings, attraction, or perfection—a love modeled after Christ Himself."Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave Himself for it."Christ didn't love the church because she was flawless. He loved her, died for her, sanctified her, and will one day present her to Himself as a glorious bride—spotless and beautiful. That's the standard. That's the command. And that's what God calls every Christian husband to do.WHAT THIS EPISODE COVERS:- The biblical foundation for marital love (1 John 4, Ephesians 5)- Why love is a command, not a feeling- Christ's sacrificial example: He gave Himself, His blood, His life- How the church is sanctified and cleansed by the Word- The call to love your wife as your own bodySCRIPTURES REFERENCED:Ephesians 5:25-33, 1 John 4:7-12, Matthew 20:28, Luke 22:19-20, 1 Peter 1:18-21, Revelation 1:5, Genesis 2:21-24This isn't just theology—it's transformation. Let God's Word renew your marriage today.

Inside this episode, I dive into the ability to transcend pressure, more responsibility as a leader, outdated or low frequency narratives our brains may be spinning, and any circumstance in life or business into personal power. We didn't come here to simply be a reaction to life. We are here to influence our lives and create a whole new reality as powerful creators. This is where you channel the internal fire and learn to wield it and harness it as the leader you came here to be.   Fire Horse Frequency $444: https://heartartistry.thrivecart.com/firehorse/ OR join The Chamber Membership for mentorship, programs, and teachings on wealth, identity, power, and intuition (includes Fire Horse Frequency): https://tiffanycheung.co/the-chamber Let me know how you enjoyed this episode or if you have questions about joining any of my programs!

Welcome to the Daily Disciple Podcast. As daily disciples, we seek to adore and follow Jesus, our teacher, into the abundant life that he offers. Because we find Jesus irresistible, fascinating, and incredibly practical, we want to be students of his scripture. Today's episode is found in Esther 2 "Faithfulness In Bad Circumstances."

Claire de Mézerville López welcomes Eric S. Lee to the Restorative Works! Podcast.  Eric S. Lee, Executive Director of Full Circle Restorative Justice, joins us to explore a visionary model for transforming how communities guide young people toward healthier, more connected futures. He shares the three-pronged framework that drives Full Circle Restorative Justice: a youth diversion program that offers accountability without lifelong consequences, a restorative schools initiative designed to disrupt the school-to-prison pipeline, and a community services program that builds restorative literacy across organizations, families, and neighborhoods. He explains how each program plays a vital role—but how the real transformation emerges when they work in harmony, creating a system that replaces punishment with connection and isolation with belonging.  Eric S. Lee leads Full Circle Restorative Justice in Colorado. After building a successful career as a chef and restaurant owner of five restaurants in Boulder County, he felt called to something deeper: helping people heal. He pivoted into youth mentorship, holistic life coaching, and restorative justice work, blending compassion, accountability, and spiritual growth. Today, Eric leads one of Colorado's most innovative restorative justice initiatives, transforming school cultures, supporting at-risk youth, and teaching communities how to replace punishment with connection. He also serves as the host of The Spiritual Justice Podcast. He's also the author of 29 Degrees: How to Live a Life of Inner Peace, Joy, and Purpose Regardless of Circumstances, as well as two other books, all rooted in the belief that peace isn't found in comfort, but in purpose, passion, love, and service.  Tune in to hear more from Eric and consider this: when we orient young people toward their highest selves and give them tools to navigate conflict, they can lead us toward a more compassionate society.

What do you say when your child is hurting over something that can't be changed?In this episode of the Foundation Worldview Podcast, Elizabeth Urbanowicz answers a heartfelt question from a parent whose six-year-old daughter feels lonely as an only child. While Scripture like Isaiah 41:10 offers comfort, this episode explores a more robust, biblical framework for walking children through suffering, disappointment, and unmet longings.Elizabeth shares five practical, Scripture-rooted steps parents can use to help their children process pain without minimizing it—teaching them to trust God, grow in gratitude, and love others even in hard circumstances. While this episode focuses on loneliness, the principles apply to many forms of childhood suffering.

And then life took an unexpected turn.Now in her thirties, single, and deeply rooted in her faith, she shares what it looks like to live a full, meaningful, God-centered life even when the season you prayed for hasn't arrived yet.We talk about:Holding space for the desire to be a mother without letting it define your worth.Grieving a timeline you thought God promisedFinding purpose, joy, and calling outside of marriage and motherhood.What Scripture says about waiting—and what it doesn't.How serving, leading, and loving others doesn't require biological children.This episode is for women who are childfree by circumstance, who would like to be a mom one day, and are learning to trust God with the timing—without putting their lives on pause.

Cat81 Radiohttps://cat81radio.comShow Notes — God Can Restore Your CircumstancesTeacher: Priscilla ShirerIn this powerful and hope-filled message, Priscilla Shirer reminds us that no situation is beyond God's ability to restore. What looks broken, delayed, or lost is never final when placed in God's hands. Restoration is part of God's nature, and He specializes in redeeming what seems impossible.Priscilla teaches that God not only restores circumstances, but also restores faith, purpose, peace, and identity. Even when consequences exist, God can bring healing, clarity, and forward movement. Restoration may not always look like a return to the past, but it will always reflect God's goodness and wisdom.This message encourages believers to trust God fully, surrender disappointment, and believe that He is still working—often quietly and powerfully—behind the scenes.Studio Cats: Jaggy and Tedi — faithfully keeping watch in the studio, reminding us through their rescued lives that God restores, redeems, and gives second chances.Cat81 Radio — Faith, encouragement, and hope… one story at a time

Not once—but daily. Problems, people, shortages, and unexpected turns will all show up with the same quiet suggestion: maybe you can't do this after all. In this episode, I'm bringing clarity to why those moments aren't setbacks—they're invitations.When you decide to keep your word, you're not denying reality. You're choosing which reality gets to lead. Circumstances will always try to speak first. The difference between winners and everyone else is simple: winners don't let circumstances finish the sentence. Keeping Your Word When Circumstances Push BackA winner's life isn't easier—it's more intentional. When something goes wrong, most people immediately translate it into limitation. But the moment you do that, you surrender authority over your thinking. Keeping your word means remembering that everything you need is already present, even if it hasn't taken form yet. Why Problems Exist in the First PlaceProblems aren't punishments. They exist to stretch identity, not destroy it. Each challenge asks a quiet question: Will you let this define you, or refine you? When you keep your word, you train your mind to move through resistance instead of retreating from it.Growth isn't about avoiding difficulty. It's about refusing to let difficulty decide who you are. Episode 677 – The Power of Decision UnlockedEpisode 272 – Building a Winners ImageInside Episode 272 – Building a Winners Image You are successful on paper… but why doesn't it feel like freedom?In just two weeks, I'm bringing together a group of driven entrepreneurs for a 2-day business intensive where we strip away the fear, resistance, and patterns that quietly cap your growth, and get you clear on your next breakthrough.Together, we'll uncover what's been holding you back, claim the freedom you've been chasing, and walk away with the clarity and courage to lead your business — and your life — on your terms.And because business growth isn't just about mindset, Steph Tuss is teaching a special marketing session on the latest business-building tactics that are working now.

This is a "best of" episode, which I’m calling this episode “The Potential for Joy.” I know that might sound like an unexpected title for a passage about foot washing—but stay with me, because Jesus gives us a picture here that can genuinely reshape the way we think about joy and peace. We’re sitting in the tension of the Last Supper: Jesus knows the cross is coming, He knows Judas will betray Him, and He also knows all authority has been given to Him. And then—this is the shocking part—He gets up, wraps a towel around His waist, and washes His disciples’ feet. Even Judas’. What Jesus is showing us is that true spiritual power doesn’t flex—it serves. And joy isn’t just something we chase through circumstances; it’s something that grows out of love, security in Christ, and humble obedience. I’ll also give you a simple challenge for the week: spend time in Scripture (or worship) daily, and then share one thing you received with someone else. I really believe you’ll feel your joy rise—not because life got easier, but because your mind is being renewed by what’s true. What We Cover: See what real power looks like in the Kingdom of God: Jesus uses His authority to serve, not to elevate Himself. Understand the spiritual meaning behind foot washing: it’s not just hospitality—it’s a living metaphor for Jesus cleansing, loving, and forming His followers. Notice what changed Peter’s response: following Jesus means letting Him love you in the places you’d rather hide or control. Be confronted by Jesus washing Judas’ feet: love and humility aren’t based on what someone “deserves.” Reframe joy as a deeper reality, not a mood: joy grows from security in Christ + humility + obedience, even when life is hard. Learn why renewing your mind matters: transformation happens as we intentionally fill our minds with God’s Word and truth. Get a practical one-week challenge: read Scripture (or listen to worship) daily and share one verse or takeaway with someone—text it, say it, post it, anything. What Does It Mean for Me? If you want to experience life with Jesus, you have to let him love you. You have to let him care for you. You have to let him see you for who you really are, which is a person who does need to be cleansed, right? And Jesus is saying to them, like, hey, you don't need to do this over and over again. It's not like a baptism over and over again. You already know me, you're clean and you're in me, but this is an act of me caring for you. This is an ongoing, this is what ongoing relationship looks like with me. What I'm doing for you, I am asking you do to for others.

This sermon centers on the profound comfort found in Romans 8:28, affirming that all things work together for good for those who love God and are called according to His purpose. Grounded in the unshakable promise of God—inspired, certain, and eternal—it offers hope not to the world at large, but specifically to believers, who are set apart by divine election and purpose. The message unfolds through five key truths: God's promise is trustworthy because He is unchanging; His people are uniquely privileged; His purpose is to conform believers to the image of Christ; His work is actively ongoing, even when unseen; and His ultimate aim is the believer's lasting good and spiritual prosperity. Far from a denial of suffering, the sermon reframes trials as instruments in God's sovereign plan, transforming burdens into pathways of growth, and darkness into the assurance of a divine path out, just as a skilled artist always includes an exit in a painting. This truth, rooted in Scripture and applied with pastoral care, invites weary souls to rest in God's faithful orchestration of every circumstance.

Today's episode picks up the second half of Acts 1 for a look at how the disciples stepped out in faithfulness in very less-than-ideal circumstances. Four primary observations in this passage serve as four take aways, four bits of actionable wisdom for all of us who will face similar times in our own lives when we have encountered Jesus, everything has changed, yet the path before us is not nearly as clear as we might desire.

A Brutally Honest Take on the UncontrollablesWe live in a culture obsessed with control. Hustle harder. Plan smarter. Pray longer. If you do all the right things, life should cooperate. That's the promise of hustle culture—and it's incredibly seductive.But Ecclesiastes offers a brutally honest response.As we close our Ecclesiastes series, Qoheleth—the Teacher—pulls back the curtain on the illusion of control. Life “under the sun” is not a machine we operate; it's a mystery we inhabit. And the more we try to control it, the more frustrated and disillusioned we become.Earlier in the book, Qoheleth introduced us to two key ideas that shape everything else. First, his name—Qoheleth—means “Teacher,” the one who gathers people to tell the truth. Second, the word hevel—often translated “meaningless”—literally means vapor. Life is fleeting, unstable, and impossible to grasp.Pleasure is hevel.Wealth is hevel.They're not sins. They're not gods. They're gifts—but terrible masters.In this final message, Ecclesiastes confronts three unavoidable realities of life: the uncontrollables.1. You Can't Control the CreatorWe live under the illusion that we are in charge—especially in American culture. Ecclesiastes says otherwise.Ecclesiastes 7:13–14 (NLT) says, “Accept the way God does things, for who can straighten what he has made crooked?”The hardest truth for control-oriented people is this: God is God, and we are not.Scripture teaches that God is sovereign—not just aware of events, but actively holding the universe together and directing history toward His purposes. Sometimes God acts directly. Sometimes He allows human choices. But even when He permits something, He never loses control.God is the primary cause—the one with the plan and the power.Humans are secondary causes—we make real choices with real responsibility.The bottom line is humbling: you are not the scriptwriter of your life.2. You Can't Control the ConsequencesWe assume life is a meritocracy—that the fastest, smartest, and hardest-working people always win. Ecclesiastes dismantles that assumption.Ecclesiastes 9:11 (NLT) says, “The fastest runner doesn't always win the race… It is all decided by chance, by being in the right place at the right time.”Timing matters. Circumstances matter. Opportunity matters.This doesn't mean effort is pointless. In fact, Ecclesiastes affirms wisdom and preparation.Ecclesiastes 10:10 (NLT) says, “Using a dull ax requires great strength, so sharpen the blade.”Sharpen the blade. Work hard. Be wise.But even then, outcomes are never guaranteed.Ecclesiastes doesn't call us to quit trying—it calls us to stop pretending we're in control.3. You Can't Control the ClockSome people are better at predicting the future than others. Many of them are rich. But it's still a guess.Ecclesiastes is clear: the future is unknowable, and death is unavoidable.Ecclesiastes 8:7–8 (NLT) says, “No one really knows what is going to happen… None of us can hold back our spirit from departing.”No amount of money, innovation, or optimism can stop time—or death. The human mortality rate remains a steady 100%.That reality sounds dark until we realize what Ecclesiastes is doing: stripping away false hope so we can find real hope.The Only Thing You Can ControlIf we can't control the Creator, the consequences, or the clock—what can we control?Ecclesiastes ends with clarity.Ecclesiastes 12:13–14 (NLT) says, “Fear God and obey his commands, for this is everyone's duty.”You can control your response to God.Not your parents' faith.Not your spouse's obedience.Not your pastor's integrity.Yours.To fear God means more than being afraid. It means awe,

Thanksgiving before a difficult circumstance

Originally published in 2021, I'm replaying this remarkable interview in solidarity with the courageous women of Iran and to offer you historical context for the protests unfolding today. Retired preschool teacher Mitra Jordan reflects on the life and legacy of her mother, Sattareh Farman Farmaian - widely regarded as the mother of social work in Iran and author of Daughter of Persia (highly recommended). Sattareh was raised in a royal harem as one of 36 children born to the ruling prince of the Qajar dynasty. She earned a degree in sociology from the University of Southern California, worked for the United Nations in Iraq, and then returned to Iran to found the country's first school of social work. Under her leadership, the school flourished, training hundreds of social workers and launching programs in family planning, women's education, and orphan care, with strong support from Farah Diba, wife of Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi. In 1979, the Islamic Revolution led by Ayatollah Khomeini forced Sattareh, at age 58, to abandon her life's work and flee Iran. She rebuilt her career in the United States, passing her exams and becoming a practicing social worker in Los Angeles. Mitra shares the lessons her mother lived by: the importance of education and self-reliance, the courage to follow one's own path, the refusal to be defined by your circumstances, and the often-overlooked mental benefits of physical exercise.
