Podcasts about Courage

Lieutenant Colonel retired C. Scott “Sonny” Duncan joins me for one of the more thought-provoking conversations I have hosted on Moments in Leadership. Sonny's path is anything but typical. He enlisted in the Navy, earned an ROTC scholarship, commissioned as a Naval Officer, transitioned into the Marine Corps, became an F/A 18 pilot, graduated from Top Gun, instructed at NAWDC, and was slated to command an F35 squadron before the COVID mandate brought his career to a crossroads.We cover how he learned to lead through fear, how aviation culture built his approach to performance and accountability, why he and his wife made a values based decision during the mandate, and how he now serves at the senior executive level inside the Department of the Navy. There are hard moments in this episode, and there are leadership lessons that apply across every community.As always, thank you to the supporters on Supercast who help keep Moments in Leadership ad free and sustainable.GUEST BIO LINKSSES Bio, C.

Send us your feedback — we're listeningHebrews 13:3 — Faith Under Fire: Strength for the Persecuted, Courage for the Secret Church From London to Lagos, from Cairo to Seoul, from Caracas to Jakarta — a global 9 A.M. prayer within the DailyPrayer.uk 24-Hour Cycle. Hebrews 13:3 — “Continue to remember those in prison as if you were together with them…” 2 Thessalonians 3:3 — “But the Lord is faithful, and he will strengthen you and protect you from the evil one.” Across the world, believers face surveillance, imprisonment, fear, and daily danger. Global searches rise for “persecuted Christians,” “secret worship,” and “underground church survival.” Today, we stand with them. PRAYER Lord Jesus, we lift the Persecuted Church with deep reverence and urgency. Strengthen the Underground Church, the Whispering Church, the Secret Church wherever your people are hunted for their faith. We pray for believers in North Korea, Somalia, Eritrea, and Afghanistan — shield them from torture, arrest, betrayal, and despair. Father, fill hidden rooms with supernatural courage; soften the hearts of captors; blind the eyes of informants; and surround pastors, mothers, and young disciples with impossible protection. Let the gospel advance in the darkest places with unstoppable fire. Sustain families torn apart, restore those traumatised, and embolden those preparing to stand firm today. Let your presence be their fortress and your word their breath. Amen.

Stepping into the unknown can feel unsettling, especially when God calls us to leave what is familiar and secure. Abraham’s journey in Genesis 12 reminds us that faith often begins without full clarity—only a promise and a calling from God. Like Abraham, we are sometimes asked to trust before we see the outcome, to move forward despite fear, and to depend fully on the Lord. Courage is not the absence of fear, but the willingness to obey God even when the path ahead is unclear. As we learn to trust God’s faithfulness, He strengthens us to take bold steps of faith into what He has prepared. Main Takeaways You’ll learn why obedience to God often requires courage before clarity. Discover how Abraham’s response to God models faith in uncertain seasons. Understand why fear does not disqualify faith—but can deepen dependence on God. Reflect on how courage grows when we trust God’s promises over our fears. Be encouraged to step forward in faith, trusting that God guides every unknown. Bible Verse References Genesis 12:1 – https://www.biblestudytools.com/genesis/12-1.html Matthew 14:29 (Peter walking on water, referenced) – https://www.biblestudytools.com/matthew/14-29.html Your Daily Prayer Heavenly Father, You know the places in my life where fear and uncertainty hold me back. Give me the courage to trust You fully and follow where You lead, even when I don’t know what lies ahead. Help me release what You are asking me to let go of and step forward in faith, believing Your promises are sure. When fear rises, remind me that You are faithful and always with me. Strengthen my heart to walk boldly in obedience to You.In Jesus’ name, Amen. Want More? Subscribe to Your Daily Prayer for daily encouragement rooted in Scripture.

Transcript:Sr: Док је зима облагала камене улице Сплита, празнични дух разливао се дуж обале Јадранског мора.En: As winter covered the stone streets of Split, the holiday spirit spread along the coast of the Adriatic Sea.Sr: Свака светлост на променадама блистала је као звезда која је украшавала небо.En: Every light on the promenades shone like a star decorating the sky.Sr: Иза очаравајућих светала, мирис куваног вина и смех туриста стварао је топлину у хладној ноћи.En: Behind the enchanting lights, the scent of mulled wine and the laughter of tourists created warmth in the cold night.Sr: Током ових свечарних тренутака, младић Вук ходао је сам, полако се крећући кроз шеталиште.En: During these festive moments, a young man named Vuk walked alone, slowly moving through the promenade.Sr: Био је из Београда, волио је да истражује нове крајеве, али усамљеност га је често пратила.En: He was from Belgrade, loved exploring new places, but loneliness often followed him.Sr: Његова резерва спречавала га је да се отвара људима.En: His reserve prevented him from opening up to people.Sr: Али у тој гомили, нешто је требало да се промени.En: But in that crowd, something was about to change.Sr: Насупрот њему, Јелена из Новог Сада весело је кренула дуж обале.En: Opposite him, Jelena from Novi Sad cheerfully strolled along the coast.Sr: Била је ведра и авантуристичког духа, путовала је да побегне од свакодневне рутине.En: She was cheerful and adventurous, traveling to escape the daily routine.Sr: Њена радост била је заразна, и у тренутку када су се њихови погледи срели, судбина је умешала прсте.En: Her joy was infectious, and the moment their eyes met, fate intervened.Sr: „Здраво“, осмехнула му се, протежући руку.En: "Hello," she smiled, reaching out her hand.Sr: „Јеси ли и ти сам овде?En: "Are you also here alone?"Sr: “„Да,“ одговори Вук, осећајући како му срце убрзава.En: "Yes," Vuk replied, feeling his heart race.Sr: „Сам, али не и изгубљен.En: "Alone, but not lost."Sr: “Разговарали су, свеопшти жамор људи био им је савезник, водећи их ближе једно другоме.En: They talked, the general murmur of people being their ally, drawing them closer to each other.Sr: Јелена је причала о својим путовањима, о местима која је видела и људима које је срела.En: Jelena spoke of her travels, the places she had seen, and the people she had met.Sr: Вук је био фасциниран њеном храброшћу и животном радошћу.En: Vuk was fascinated by her courage and zest for life.Sr: Међутим, упркос срчаној везаности, Вук је осећао како га преплављује стара стидљивост.En: However, despite the heartfelt connection, Vuk felt his old shyness overcome him.Sr: Иза гласова, подсећао се на оно што заиста жели: не само присуство, већ истинску везу.En: Behind the voices, he reminded himself of what he truly wanted: not just presence, but a genuine connection.Sr: Време је брзо прошло, а крај године се ближио.En: Time flew by, and the year's end was approaching.Sr: Пре него што су сви околни звуци истопили ту вече, Вук је, осетивши тренутак, одлучио да ризикује.En: Before all the surrounding sounds melted that evening, Vuk, sensing the moment, decided to take a risk.Sr: „Да ли би хтела да гледамо ватромет заједно?En: "Would you like to watch the fireworks together?"Sr: “Јелена се осврнула према мору, па према Вуку и насмешила се.En: Jelena looked toward the sea, then at Vuk, and smiled.Sr: „Била би ми част.En: "It would be my pleasure."Sr: “Док је поноћна муњевита светлост бојила небо, њих двоје стајали су раме уз раме.En: As the midnight flashes of light painted the sky, the two of them stood shoulder to shoulder.Sr: Свако пуцање ватромета било је као нови нотни запис њиховог пријатељства.En: Each burst of fireworks was like a new musical note of their friendship.Sr: Часови су пролазили, разговори су текли, и одједном се чинило да нису више сами.En: Hours passed, conversations flowed, and suddenly it seemed they were no longer alone.Sr: Када је све било готово, осећали су се потпуно повезаним.En: When it was all over, they felt completely connected.Sr: Разменили су контакте, обећавши да ће остати у контакту, и тако, свако од њих оставио је Сплит с првим наговештајем нове пријатељске везе у свом срцу.En: They exchanged contacts, promising to stay in touch, and so, each of them left Split with the first hint of a new friendship in their hearts.Sr: Вук је те вечери научио нешто важно – да смелост може донети драгоцене односе, и да светлост ватромета није једина светлост која обасјава пут.En: That evening, Vuk learned something important—courage can bring about precious relationships, and the light of fireworks is not the only light that illuminates the way.Sr: Година, која је тек почела, обећавала је нове прилике за пријатељство и осмехе.En: The year, just beginning, promised new opportunities for friendship and smiles.

Best Of TP&R As we close out the year, we're resurfacing a small handful of conversations from the Talkin' Politics & Religion Without Killin' Each Other archive that best reflect what this show exists to do: create space for thoughtful disagreement, moral seriousness, and the hard work of living together in a pluralistic democracy. This conversation with Jonathan Rauch and Liz Joyner stands out as a true highlight — not just because of the ideas discussed, but because of the spirit in which they're explored: curiosity, generosity, and an insistence that liberal democracy is something we must actively practice. Whether this is your first time hearing it or you're returning to it, I'm really glad you're here.   Why defending viewpoint diversity might be the most radical—and necessary—act in higher education today. What a treat to welcome two leading voices in the fight for viewpoint diversity and constructive civic dialogue: Jonathan Rauch, senior fellow at Brookings and author of The Constitution of Knowledge, and Liz Joyner, founder of The Village Square. Recorded at a moment of rising polarization — and resurfaced now because its insights have only grown more urgent — Jon and Liz unpack the mission of Heterodox Academy (HxA). As board members, Jon and Liz unpack the organization's mission to restore open inquiry and truth-seeking within higher education—and how these values are essential to preserving our democracy at large. With personal stories, sharp analysis, and even a few laughs, they explore what we each can do to counter the ecosystem of illiberalism and strengthen the social fabric.

[00:06:00] Rauch on early signs of "wokeness" and Kindly Inquisitors [00:08:00] Joyner's grassroots experience with ideological diversity at Village Square [00:10:00] The "ecosystem of illiberalism" and why liberal principles matter [00:15:00] Can HxA help defend against external political coercion? [00:20:00] Are we headed toward institutional collapse or renewal?

[01:01:00] "Love people back into communion with liberalism" [01:08:00] The local vs. national divide—learning from LA's fires & ICE raids [01:14:00] Final reflections: Reclaiming truth, curiosity, and compassion Key Takeaways Liberalism needs defenders: Jon reminds us that truth-seeking demands criticism—and that “criticism hurts, but it's necessary.” Civic spaces matter: Liz underscores the importance of local, respectful dialogue and building trust before crisis hits. The ecosystem is the problem: Illiberalism isn't coming from just one side; it's a reactive spiral we must all help disrupt. Institutions must hold firm: It's not disagreement that's dangerous—it's coercion by powerful entities that silence dissent. Each of us has a role: From book clubs to coffee shops, we can all “love people back into communion with liberalism.” Notable Quotes “We are better together. A diverse people can self-govern—if we protect the institutions that help us do so.” – Liz Joyner “If I'm talking, I'm not learning. If I'm listening, I probably am.” – Jonathan Rauch “What I'd like you to talk about today is how we can love people back into communion with liberalism.” – Quoting Jonathan V.

So, there was this moment for Paul when everyone around him was saying, "Don't do it!" But you know what? The Holy Spirit was right there, nudging him to go for it. Even though those folks had a solid spiritual vibe, Paul chose to follow the call of the Holy Spirit. There might be times when you find yourself in a situation like Paul's, where the wise folks around you are saying “no,” but deep down, God is nudging you to go for it. Today, Pastor Bill invites you to step out and embrace God's calling.

When your business success turns into a personal trap, what's the way out? In this episode, market research entrepreneur Colson Steber shares how committing to a bigger future, installing the right structure, and transforming his leadership turned an overworked owner into a focused, confident entrepreneur with a thriving, growth-focused team. Here's some of what you'll learn in this episode:What made Colson realize he's always been an entrepreneur.How Colson was stuck in a loop early in his career.How Colson got into a positive, healthy routine.What an entrepreneur gains from joining the Strategic Coach® community.  Show Notes: Every successful entrepreneur creates a powerful story about who they are and the future they're committed to. Real entrepreneurial growth starts when you commit to a bigger result long before you have the capability to achieve it. Courage is the bridge between commitment and capability, and it often lasts longer and feels harder than you expect. If you insist on being the central problem solver for everything, your successful company quickly becomes a trap. Installing a proven operating system like EOS® gives your company structure so you can stop doing everything yourself. The right structure turns a grinding, 70-hour-a-week survival business into a Self-Managing Company® that supports your life. Your Unique Ability® gains value as you narrow your focus and design the rest of the company around supporting it. Intense preparation and consistent routines let you show up exactly right in the rare moments where you create 50 percent of the value. Culture becomes an asset when your team members are gaining confidence, growing their skills, and actually enjoying their work. Healthy exits—where people move on to bigger futures with your support—are a sign your company is set up for freedom, not dependence. Entrepreneurial timelines are always aggressive, but beating the market still counts as winning even when it feels “too slow.” Every entrepreneur's story is unique. Strategic Coach gets you thinking about the right things at the right time.  Resources: The 4 C's Formula by Dan Sullivan EOS® The Self-Managing Company by Dan Sullivan What Free Days™ Are And How To Know When You Need Them Unique Ability®

Welcome to the final episode of 2025—what a journey this year has been. Thank you for showing up, sharing the show, and choosing to rise above the noise. We can get swept into negativity, or we can stand in purpose. You've chosen purpose, and I'm grateful.To close the year, I had the honor of speaking with Dr. Sarah Jefferis—Senior Lecturer, CEO, poet, and intuitive writing coach—who helps writers and leaders heal and lead with equity through the power of words and yoga. Our focus: how to quiet the mind, because in stillness, we hear.Some episode highlights: Stillness as a skill: Why quieting the mind is not passive—it's powerful preparation for courageous action.Writing as healing: Simple practices to move emotion, access clarity, and transform fear into momentum.The body leads: How breath and gentle movement (hello, yoga) unlock voice, presence, and creative flow.Brave spaces, not perfect spaces: Equity and inclusion as daily practices that expand who gets seen, heard, and celebrated.Courage over perfection: Practical ways to start, even when self-doubt or resistance is loud.Dr. Sarah will also share some “Try-it-Now” practices you can implement immediately. Life is full of sharp turns and unexpected moments.Clarity doesn't come from doing more — it comes from getting quiet.When you return to the breath and create space, your body remembers and your voice becomes clear again.Not every thought is a fact. You get to choose what you believe — and how your next chapter unfolds.

 I accidentally proved something most entrepreneurs refuse to accept.Courage, connection, and being real will make you more money than any fancy funnel. This episode is your sign to stop hiding and start selling like a human. Support the showHosted by Casey Shipp — 3000+ transformations, Self-Made Millionaire, High Priestess, Writer, Fitness Cover Model, and Founder of the Hotbody App. $30M client wins | $7.8M sold onlineRich isn't rare.

What if the thing you've been running from your entire life is the exact doorway to your freedom?Dr. Zach Bush is a triple board-certified physician who spent 17 years in academic medicine—running ICUs, bone marrow transplant units, and managing end-stage disease—before discovering that the root of nearly all illness traces back to one thing: stuck emotions. His work now bridges ancient wisdom with cutting-edge science, revealing how we've turned natural feelings into toxic emotional constructs that can't metabolize through our systems.In this episode, you'll discover:→ The profound difference between feelings and emotions—and why one heals while the other gets stuck→ Why emotions are the "high fructose corn syrup" of feelings and what that means for your body→ What unconditional love actually feels like (hint: it's not the warm fuzzy sensation you think)→ How the victim-perpetrator cycle keeps you trapped—and the one shift that breaks you free→ Why nature has no purpose—and what that means for your obsession with finding yours→ The reason your grief, heartbreak, and pain aren't problems to solve but waves to ride→ How to move from "life is happening to me" to "life is happening as me"→ The one regenerative act that opens the floodgates for nature to restore everythingYou are not broken for feeling everything so deeply. You are an infinite soul in a finite body, which means you signed up for constant loss—and constant falling in love. The sunsets. The people. The moments. To be alive is to grieve and marvel in equal measure. And the courage to feel—fully, without resistance—is the medicine this world needs most. Listen now and remember what it means to truly feel your way through this one precious life.Connect with Dr. Bush:Website: https://journeyofintrinsichealth.com/Join Dr Bush's Community: https://journeyofintrinsichealth.com/Instagram: @zachbushmdConnect with Raj:Website: http://www.rajjana.com/Instagram: @raj_janaiTunes: https://podcasts.apple.com/rs/podcast/stay-grounded-with-raj-jana/id1318038490Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/22Hrw6VWfnUSI45lw8LJBPYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@raj_janaLegal Disclaimer: The information and opinions discussed in this podcast are for educational and entertainment purposes only.

In this Soul Elevation livestream, I speak openly about the collective shadow and how it directly relates to your personal ascension and spiritual growth. Even though I was not feeling my best physically during this recording, I felt strongly guided to share this message. As we heal our own trauma, patterns, and nervous system imprints, our consciousness naturally expands. With that expansion comes an increased ability to influence not just our own inner world, but the collective energy field as well. In this conversation, I explore what the collective shadow really is, how systems of reality are constructed beneath the surface, and why spiritual growth cannot always remain in a purely love and light framework. True awakening often requires courage, discernment, and a willingness to question narratives we may have once accepted without inquiry. I also discuss spiritual bypassing, the importance of truth seeking, and why awakening includes the capacity to hold uncomfortable realities without collapsing or turning away. This phase of ascension is not about fear, but about reclaiming sovereignty, authority, and conscious choice. If you are on a path of deep spiritual growth and feel called to understand how your inner healing connects to larger collective change, this livestream is for you. Thank you for being here and for walking this path of awareness with me.
