Podcasts about Courage

How do Christians respond to God's fatherly indignation against our sin? The prophet Micah teaches us: Respond with brokenhearted boldness, with contrite courage.

Read Online“Before all this happens, however, they will seize and persecute you, they will hand you over to the synagogues and to prisons, and they will have you led before kings and governors because of my name. It will lead to your giving testimony. Remember, you are not to prepare your defense beforehand, for I myself shall give you a wisdom in speaking that all your adversaries will be powerless to resist or refute.” Luke 21:12–15It could be said that these are among the least consoling words that Jesus ever spoke. Imagine what His disciples would have thought upon hearing this. Some of them might have changed their minds about following Jesus and walked away. Why would anyone want to be seized and persecuted, or thrown into prison? Jesus even went on to say that “they will put some of you to death.”Though these words might not, at first, seem all that consoling, they were inspired words and, therefore, must be inspiring. By analogy, imagine an army general in charge of troops defending their families and homeland from hostile invaders. If that general were to say similar words to the troops, acknowledging that some of them would be captured and even killed, it would be a reality check for sure. But it would also inspire a certain courage and drive. In that moment, the soldiers would need courage to face the challenge that awaited them. Therefore, by being honest with them, the general would stir up their courage and strengthen their resolve to enter the battle.We must hear Jesus' words today as His battle cry, spoken to encourage us. He is warning us that the secular and unchristian world will be hostile. The leader of the kingdom of darkness, the devil, is very active and, with his legion of demons and followers, is seeking to destroy us. For our part, we must decide whether we will retreat and hide, or enter the battle for the salvation of souls.Though most of us will not endure physical martyrdom for our faith, it will happen to some. But for most of us, the persecution we will endure will be on a different level. We may be mocked or even hated for our refusal to accept immorality within the culture. We may be called hateful when we stand up for the dignity of the unborn child in danger of abortion. We may be deemed superstitious or old fashioned by remaining faithful to Sunday worship and daily prayer. And we may be thought of as out-of-touch or behind the times for refusing to embrace the latest popular fads and secular values. Sometimes this happens even within the family.Instead of shying away from the various forms of persecution we may experience, we need to allow our Lord to stir up a courage within us that is fueled by love. We must deeply desire the salvation of every soul and remain certain that the only way to salvation is through fidelity to Christ.When you are challenged by others or by the world, you must trust in Jesus' words. “I myself shall give you a wisdom in speaking that all your adversaries will be powerless to resist or refute.” When we resist and refute the errors of our age, some people will become hostile. But if we remain faithful to our Lord and speak by His inspiration, then those who are hostile will be affected for the good. Because Jesus said that people will not be able to “resist or refute” the words He inspires us to say, we must know that our words can make a difference in the battle for souls. We must engage the battle with courage and love and rely upon our Lord to lead. Reflect, today, upon the fact that we are all in a battle for the salvation of souls, beginning with our own. We cannot be passive bystanders. We must move forward with much courage and strength. We must trust in the guidance given to us by our Lord. We must be open to the words He will inspire us to speak when needed. Resolve to follow our Lord into this holy battle, and He will equip you with all you need to be victorious. My courageous Lord, You endured much suffering in life and embraced it with pure love. Please give me the grace I need to follow You wherever You lead and to be an instrument of Your voice to a world in need. Jesus, I trust in You.Image via Adobe StockSource of content: catholic-daily-reflections.comCopyright © 2025 My Catholic Life! Inc. All rights reserved. Used with permission via RSS feed.

Today we're diving deep into one of the toughest challenges Christians are facing right now—how to live faithfully in a culture that's openly hostile to biblical truth. My friend Natasha Crain joins me to talk about her powerful new book, When Culture Hates You, and how we can stay grounded, gracious, and bold in our witness even when the world pushes back. We'll talk about why our faith has to shape our politics (not the other way around), why knowing your Bible is key to standing firm, and how to keep your heart soft when the battle gets exhausting. If you're feeling weary or wondering if it's even worth it to keep speaking truth—this episode will remind you that it absolutely is.Prime Sponsor: No matter where you live, visit the Functional Medical Institute online today to connect with Drs Mark and Michele Sherwood.

The post Spiritual Courage: How to Stand Firm When Obedience Is Hard appeared first on Straight Truth Podcast.

In this episode of The Level Up Podcast w/ Paul Alex, we're tackling one of the biggest killers of progress—self-doubt. You know that voice that says, “You're not ready,” or “You'll embarrass yourself”? Paul has heard it too—especially when he left his secure detective career to chase entrepreneurship. He shares the raw truth: confidence isn't something you're born with. It's built—one uncomfortable day, one bold move, and one tough decision at a time.

Entrepreneurship isn't just about building something — it's about becoming someone. In this raw and soul-expanding episode, Christina sits down with spiritual entrepreneur Dee Taggart to explore how the path of entrepreneurship is one of the deepest spiritual journeys you can walk. Because building a business will test everything you believe about yourself—your faith, your worth, your relationship with money, and your capacity to trust the unknown. Together, Christina and Dee dive into what it really means to do the inner work required to create outer success—how your business becomes a mirror reflecting the areas of growth, healing, and surrender that your soul is asking for. You'll hear powerful reflections on: ✨ How entrepreneurship awakens you to who you truly are ✨ The illusion of control and what surrender really looks like ✨ Overcoming scarcity, self-doubt, and the fear of letting go ✨ Balancing faith with aligned action ✨ How your business growth mirrors your spiritual growth If you've ever felt like you're being stretched, challenged, or called to a deeper level of trust — this episode will remind you that you're not off track… you're being transformed. Because every time you choose faith over fear, you step closer to alignment with your higher purpose.   00:00 Introduction to the Spiritual Side of Entrepreneurship 01:37 Meet Dee Tagger: Expansion Activator and Advocate for Personal Growth 02:44 Christina and Dee's Journey: A Serendipitous Meeting 04:18 Dee's Entrepreneurial Beginnings: From Lawn Mowing to Empowering Women 13:35 The Spiritual Awakening in Entrepreneurship 17:59 Incorporating Energy Work and Breathwork into Personal and Professional Growth 26:22 The Power of Self-Worth and Presence in Entrepreneurship 30:17 Embracing the Journey of Faith and Courage 31:27 The Importance of Reflecting on Progress 33:31 Consistency in Personal Growth 40:26 Balancing Intuition and Strategy in Business 45:52 The Power of Prayer and Meditation 55:19 Final Thoughts and Encouragement Links: The Empowered Women's Collective Your Limitless Adventures Group Trips Connect With Me: Instagram: @macs_explore Threads: @macs_explore Guest Links: Podcast: Her Xpansion Podcast Website: https://herxpansion.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/herxpansion/

Parshas Chayei Sarah: Courage To Begin In tribute to the fifth Yahrzeit of HaRav Ya'akov Tzvi Ben Dovid Sacks, Rabbi Lord Jonathan Sacks. Our Parsha begins with loss, love, and a new beginning. Avraham buries Sarah with dignity, then sends Eliezer to find a partner for Yitzchak. Rivkah's kindness at the well reveals her greatness, and when she enters Sarah's tent, the miracles of the first Jewish home return. Rabbi Lord Jonathan Sacks, shows that Avraham's life ends with peace not because he finished the mission, but because he began it with courage. True fulfillment comes from taking the first step, trusting that G-d will complete what we start. In honor of Eretz Yisroel – May G-d protect our brave soldiers, comfort all who grieve, and bring healing to our nation. Dedicated in loving memory of Edward Ben Efraim, Shlomo Ben Edward, and Yirachmiel Daniel Ben Gedalia.

Going HARD is easy to understand, but taking rest for recovery of your mind and body can sometimes create guilt. Why do we think like that? Today, we dive into the psychology of taking a day, or two, off when our body needs it. We also talk about getting trapped in upper Zone 2 and how that can often turn into Zone 3 which is wearing you down far more than you think. We look at junk miles and asked if they really are junk, or if they're something more than we think. We talk flexibility, pliability, and how range of motion can create more economy in your stroke, peddling, and stride. Explore the definition of "quality" and look at things from a different perspective.

What would you do if the system you trusted to protect your child became the source of their suffering?In this powerful episode of Politely Rude, Abby Johnson sits down again with Jackie Schlegel, founder and executive director of Texans for Medical Freedom, for a candid and emotional conversation about the growing movement for medical transparency and parental choice. Jackie opens up about her daughter Ashlyn's vaccine injury — an experience that changed her life, launched her into advocacy, and continues to fuel her fight for accountability in public health.Together, Abby and Jackie unpack the dramatic expansion of the childhood vaccine schedule, the historic 1986 law that granted vaccine manufacturers immunity from liability, and what the medical freedom movement is doing today to protect families' rights to informed consent. From COVID to children's health crises, they ask hard questions about how we got here — and where America must go next to restore trust, truth, and compassion in healthcare.FOLLOW ABBY ON SOCIAL MEDIA- Instagram- Facebook- Twitter

Five years, countless stories, and endless reinventions.

Today, I interview John Kippen who spent years hiding after a surgery left half of his face paralyzed. His story is one of deep courage, transformation, and learning what it really means to be seen.As a child, John grew up in a successful family and learned how to perform, achieve, and seek approval. But beneath that confidence was a longing to be understood for who he truly was. When a brain tumor led to facial paralysis, everything he knew about identity and worth was shaken.What followed was a long season of silence and isolation that eventually became a doorway to rediscovery. Through his love for magic and storytelling, John began to connect with others again. The stage became a space where he stopped hiding, shared his truth, and turned what once felt like a limitation into a powerful message of authenticity.Today, John uses his voice to help others find theirs. As a speaker and empowerment coach, he reminds us that real confidence isn't about appearance or perfection. It begins with self-acceptance, compassion, and the courage to show up exactly as we are.__________________John Kippen is an entrepreneur, professional magician, speaker, resilience and empowerment coach, and published author.In 2002, he was diagnosed with a large benign brain tumor that, while successfully removed, left him with permanent facial paralysis. The experience stopped his forward momentum and led him into hiding for more than twelve years.During that time, John rediscovered his childhood love for performing magic and storytelling. What began as a way to cope slowly became his source of healing. With renewed passion and hope, he came to see that his facial difference was not a limitation but his greatest superpower.Today, John lives with joy and purpose, helping others rise above self-doubt and fear. As a resilience and empowerment coach, he teaches people to get out of their own way and step into a life of confidence and connection.His guiding mottos are simple yet profound: Being different is your superpower and Feed your heart with your art.__________________Find John here:https://www.johnkippen.com/https://www.facebook.com/kippen/?_rdrhttps://www.instagram.com/johnkippen/?hl=enhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/johnkippenspeaker/Support the showI'm Dr. Doreen Downing and I help people find their voice so they can speak without fear.

"What am I holding onto so tightly that I would never change?"  Our guest last week (and the week before!), Becca, once declared she'd never undergo treatment again—until her cancer returned and she found herself asking how they'd treat it. We often know exactly what we're going to do in difficult situations...until we don't. This week, Cody reflects on psychological flexibility and the profound courage it takes to change your mind. Why we hold so tightly to old stances, the hubris of declaring what we'd do in someone else's situation, and the strength required to grow and evolve. Join Cody for this brief but powerful exploration of identity, humility, and the grace of changing course. --- For more information on the sponsor of this episode, please visit the Iliff Death Care Collective.

In this powerful and inspiring episode of What Are You Made Of?, host Mike “C-Roc” sits down with Irish entrepreneur, podcaster, and speaker Roy Coughlan, whose journey from humble beginnings in Cork, Ireland to building a life and business in Poland is a masterclass in resilience, reinvention, and personal growth.Roy is a seasoned serial entrepreneur with an impressive track record of founding 20 companies across five countries. As a business podcast coach and host, he has successfully launched and driven six podcasts to the top echelons of the industry, with all consistently ranking in the Top 5% and four reaching the prestigious Top 0.5%. Beyond podcasting, he is the co-founder of braingym.fitness, a platform dedicated to enhancing cognitive abilities and empowering individuals to optimize their mental performance, and co-founder of VA.World, where he connects clients with highly skilled Virtual Assistants to meet their diverse needs.In this candid conversation with C-Roc, Roy shares what it was like growing up in rough council housing in 1970s Ireland, where street fights were common and opportunities were scarce. From washing cars and cutting grass as a teen to studying construction management and climbing the corporate ladder, Roy always had an entrepreneurial spark — one that eventually led him to launch his own businesses abroad. But when the 2008 financial crash hit, he lost millions and faced over a hundred court cases in Poland, an experience that exposed him to deep corruption and ultimately pushed him toward his next mission: using his voice to make a difference.Roy also opens up about how he transformed from a shy young man who couldn't even order a drink at the bar into a confident international speaker and podcast host with over 1,700 episodes under his belt. He shares how joining Toastmasters, facing his fears head-on, and leaning into discomfort helped him discover his true power — and why communication is the ultimate key to success.This episode is a reminder that the stories we tell ourselves can hold us back — or set us free. Roy's journey proves that no matter where you start, you can rewrite your path, rebuild your life, and inspire others along the way.Website- https://roycoughlan.com/https://va.world/ , https://braingym.fitness/ Social Media Links/handles:https://www.facebook.com/roycoughlanhttps://www.instagram.com/awakening.podcast/https://www.linkedin.com/in/roycoughlan/https://x.com/poleire https://www.youtube.com/@roycoughlanhttps://www.tiktok.com/@roycoughlanpodcaster

Enneagram 5 parents Lauren Rupley and Kris Plunkett talk curiosity, intentionality, and energy management in family life. They describe how fives' love of learning, patient problem-solving, and reflective nature become strengths—sparking great questions, thoughtful rhythms, and delight in kids' unique wiring. They also name common struggles: over-researching instead of trusting intuition, scarce-energy mindsets, stepping back to observe rather than engaging in hard moments, and turning kids' challenges into a referendum on their own preparedness. Practical help includes building daily downtime, modeling conscious tech boundaries, asking “Is this about me or about my child?”, showing vulnerability, and finding mentor parents a few steps ahead.

John talks about Minority leader Chuck Schumer and the eight Senate Democrats who signed onto a Republican offer to end the federal shutdown. The bill now must pass through the House, which is scrambling to return to D.C. The deal includes guarantees of back pay to federal workers, a promise of longer-term funding for certain programs and the promise of a vote to possibly extend ACA subsidies. Then, he welcomes back Professor Corey Brettschneider to discuss the details on the shutdown, SCOTUS hearing the Tariffs case, and the Supreme Court saying it WON'T hear an appeal to the Obergefell decision that legalized gay marriage. Then winding it up John jokes with comedian Rhonda Hansome and listeners about current politics and pop culture.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Erin Loechner is back for her third visit with a deeply freeing message for parents: you can step off the conveyor belt and still raise kids who thrive. From TV sets and Disney stages to off-grid cabins and a garden full of slow surprises, Erin has lived a dozen lives—and let many of them go. She and Ginny explore how seasons change slowly, why “success” can be lovingly rejiggered, and how refusing the race no longer meant for you is often the bravest step forward. If you've ever wondered whether opting out will leave you behind, this conversation says the quiet part out loud: it won't. It will bring you home. Then they get wonderfully practical. Erin shows how to flip Big Tech's playbook for the good of your family—bringing surprise, challenge, streaks, and shared goals back offline. Think a jelly bean in a coat pocket to reward real-world habits, a “treasure chest” microwave with small delights, fridge trackers instead of app streaks, midnight sundaes, silly-string welcomes, and family projects that build interdependence (yes, decks and ponds count). Along the way, they celebrate the outdoors as the world's best noise-absorber and soul-reset.
