Podcasts about Deep Roots

How do leaders remain faithful, fruitful, and grounded over the long haul? In this episode of the Unhurried Living Podcast, Alan Fadling sits down with Eric Geiger, Senior Pastor of Mariners Church and author of The Rooted Leader, to explore what it means to cultivate deep roots as a leader. Drawing from the life of Nehemiah, Eric shares why leadership failures rarely happen overnight, what causes leaders to drift from their deepest convictions, and how healthy rhythms help leaders remain steady through seasons of pressure, challenge, and change. Together, Alan and Eric discuss the hidden work of leadership, the importance of tending our inner lives, and why lasting fruitfulness grows from roots that are nourished over time. Whether you lead a church, nonprofit, business, team, or family, this conversation offers wisdom for anyone seeking to lead from a place of depth rather than hurry, pressure, or performance. In this episode: Why leaders “topple” What Nehemiah teaches about leadership The connection between roots and fruit Seven rhythms that sustain leaders How to strengthen your leadership from the inside out Resources: The Rooted Leader by Eric Geiger Connect with Alan on LinkedIn or learn more about Unhurried Living programs on their website.

Big Idea: 3 deep roots hold stronger than 300 branches. I. Go deeper than virtual.Acts 2:44-46Now all the believers were together and held all things in common. They sold their possessions and property and distributed the proceeds to all, as any had need. Every day they devoted themselves to meeting together in the temple, and broke bread from house to house. They ate their food with joyful and sincere hearts…II. Go deep with only a few.Hebrews 10:24-25And let us consider one another in order to provoke love and good works, not neglecting to gather together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging each other, and all the more as you see the day approaching.III. Go deeper with Jesus.Deuteronomy 31:6Be strong and courageous; don't be terrified or afraid of them. For the Lord your God is the one who will go with you; he will not leave you or abandon you.”Next Steps: Believe: I surrender my soul to Jesus today.Become: I will join a small group this week.Be Sent: I will invite someone into my group this week.Discussion Questions: What makes people hesitant to open their hearts to others?What makes meeting in a small group different from being in a social media relationship?What does it look like to “provoke love” in someone else?How has God grown you through your relationships with others?What are some obstacles that prevent real depth in small groups?Is it possible to grow into the follower Jesus wants you to be while living as a hermit?  Explain your answer from Scripture.Pray for someone who is isolated from Jesus's people this week.

This is episode 3 of a six-part series on food imperialism. Welcome to Edible Empire, a podcast by Planet Pulse Pacific about the hidden cost of our food.Food isn't just about taste—it's power. This podcast explores how empires and corporations built control through agriculture, reshaping cultures and feeding some at the expense of others.This episode traces the global impact of the palm oil industry from its indigenous roots to modern supply chains through three expert interviews.Dr Jonathan Robins opens by detailing the pre-colonial history of oil palm in West Africa and explaining how European empires weaponised the crop to fuel the Industrial Revolution, establishing structural patterns that mirror today's agribusiness models.Dr Helena Varkkey then unpacks the political economy of Malaysian production, exposing how entrenched relationships between political elites and conglomerates shield the industry from regulation.Farwiza Farhan brings a frontline conservation perspective from Indonesia, documenting how government-incentivised monoculture plantations drive deforestation, threaten endangered species, and violate Indigenous land rights. Together, the experts critique the effectiveness of voluntary sustainability certification schemes like the RSPO, debate whether palm oil can ever be truly sustainable at scale, and highlight the efforts of local communities fighting back against corporate food imperialism.Make sure you subscribe so you don't miss out on the next episode!Resources from this episode:https://www.mtu.edu/social-sciences/department/faculty/robins/https://commoditiesofempire.org.uk/about/jonathan-robins/https://theconversation.com/profiles/jonathan-e-robins-1227071https://seapeat.wixsite.com/homehttps://cgsea.org/https://umexpert.um.edu.my/helenav To view all the links to the websites and documents, visit the show notes on our website.Please support our work and enable us to deliver more content by buying us a coffee or becoming a member of Athletes for Nature.Follow us on Instagram and Facebook, subscribe to this podcast, and share this episode with your friends and family.

Small Town, Deep Roots: Amy Eckert on Building Gideon Realty in Marion, IllinoisJennifer Olson and Russell Williams host Small Town, Big Business from downtown Marion, Illinois, introduce sponsors, and interview Amy Eckert of Gideon Realty. A lifelong Marion resident, Eckert shares her family background, memories of Marion's downtown-to-mall-to-downtown shift, and her path from part-time jobs and 10.5 years in local radio to homeschooling her sons for 16–17 years after feeling called to do so. She describes leadership experience in multi-level marketing, earning her real estate license in 2017 with mentor Joanna Farrell, later obtaining a managing broker license, and in May of the prior year launching the intentionally small “boutique” Gideon Realty after guidance from Ethos and attorney Martin Parsons. Eckert emphasizes personalized, local, relationship-based service, education for buyers and sellers, and her trademarked tagline, “Small Town, Deep Roots,” and shares how to contact her via Facebook or 618-922-8820.Recorded at EThOs Small Business Incubator and Co-working Spaces in Marion, Illinois.https://members.ethosmarion.org/ SUBSCRIBE TO THE PODCASTOur guest: https://www.facebook.com/RealEstateSouthernIllinois/

Key Takeaways: A New Way to Invest: Investing is shifting away from complex financial products and back toward real, tangible assets. This means thinking differently about where you put your money. Focus on Strong Assets: Assets like gold, Bitcoin, and productive land hold real value and can grow over time. These “high-energy” assets are becoming more important in today's economy. Borrow Carefully: Using debt can be helpful, but too much is risky. Keeping borrowing at a safe level—like 20% or less of your assets—can help protect you during market swings. Skills Are Always Valuable: Your skills can't be taken away and will always have value. Continuing to learn and improve helps you stay adaptable in any economy. Avoid Hype and Empty Promises: Not every opportunity is real. Learning to spot the difference between solid investments and misleading offers helps you make smarter financial decisions.   Chapters: Timestamp Summary 0:00 Investing in Big Energy Assets Amid Financialization's Decline 12:01 Aligning Heart and Mind for Natural Harmony and Insight 14:26 Strategic Wealth Management Amid Economic Uncertainty 20:31 Identifying Genuine Tools Versus Manipulative Smoke Sellers 27:15 The Importance of Skill Development in an Uncertain Economy   Powered by Stone Hill Wealth Management   Social Media Handles    Follow Phillip Washington, Jr. on Instagram (@askphillip)   Subscribe to Wealth Building Made Simple newsletter https://www.wealthbuildingmadesimple.us/   Ready to turn your investing dreams into reality?

Week 2: Good Soil Needs Deep Roots5/3/2026Main passage: Matthew 13:1-9, 18-23There are times when it's easy to follow the Lord. But that's not all the time. If true growth is going to occur then we will need deep roots. Otherwise the trials of this world will scorch our faith and wither our relationship with Jesus. Instead we need to sink roots deep down into the gospel to endure and even thrive in hard times.

This episode of the Green Side Up Podcast is a lively, story-packed conversation featuring Jordan, Jason, and returning guest Erin Alvarez. The trio starts with weekend plans—kayaking, manatees, race car–themed kids' parties, daddy–daughter dances, and tax woes—before drifting into hilarious side tangents about trolling lettuce for manatees, oversized margaritas, and the realities of squeezing tree crews through tight access. From there, Erin shares her winding journey into the green industry: growing up outdoors, bouncing between zoology, political science, and English at UF, burning out on office life at the student newspaper, rediscovering herself through hands-in-the-dirt yard work, and ultimately finding her home in Environmental Horticulture. They dig into UF horticulture culture—plant ID war stories, cheating (or trying to) in physics, the love–hate relationship with Landscape Architecture, and the birth of Deep South Landscaping (DSL) with all its youthful hustle, tax dodging, and terrible-but-memorable merch. The episode wraps by connecting Erin's past to her current role in business development at SkyFrog Landscape, touching on long-game relationship building, commercial maintenance bidding cycles, and future growth, all while maintaining the loose, funny, and unfiltered vibe that defines the show.

When you look at the top restaurants around the world, no matter what cuisine they may focus on, there's one commonality they all share, and that's deep relationships with those who grow and raise the very best ingredients. It's the same in beer—you can't be the best at what you do without the meaningful, personal, financial, and long-standing relationships that ensure the brewery has access to the very best quality ingredients. These relationships don't materialize overnight, but for Firestone Walker, they're the product of 30 years of work. In this series, we highlight a number of these crucial growers, brokers, and processors who have played a role in the world-class beer that Firestone Walker makes. *Episode 2: Deep Roots & Twisting Bines * One of the keys to maintaining a consistent supply of the very best hops is long term relationships and deep commitment paired with the very best analytical science and process improvement, and the purpose of this series is to explore just what that means with some of the key players in this story of ingredient quality. In this episode, Firestone Walker Head Brewer Dustin Kral and Bud Hollingbery of hops broker Hollingbery and Son talk about the way that Hollingbery has worked closely with Firestone Walker for decades now to source and process hops, how current dynamics in the brewing and hops industries are impacting hops growers, and a lot more. Over the years, Bud has seen some remarkable change in the hop industry, and he's not afraid to tell you exactly what he thinks. Intro music: VintageGroove / Pond5

Key Takeaways: Traditional Savings Are Losing Power: Savings accounts and many retirement plans often struggle to keep up with inflation and low interest rates, which can slowly reduce the value of saved money. Bitcoin as a Long-Term Asset: Bitcoin is often seen as a strong investment because its supply is limited. This scarcity can make it useful for long-term savings and wealth growth. Rethink Your Investment Strategy: Instead of relying only on cash savings, some strategies focus on using credit carefully and investing in assets that are scarce and less affected by inflation. Build Strong Financial Roots: A stable financial system stores value in assets that can hold their worth over time, helping protect wealth from inflation. Manage Risk Carefully: Borrowing against investments should be done conservatively. Keeping debt at safe levels helps protect against market changes and financial uncertainty.   Chapters: Timestamp Summary 0:00 Rethinking Savings Strategies for Financial Security 3:55 Scarcity and Stability in Savings and Investment Strategies 8:46 Bitcoin as a Decentralized Alternative to Central Banking 13:43 Building a Portfolio with Bitcoin and Scarce Equities 15:39 Leveraging Deep Root Strategies for Financial Stability 23:18 Bitcoin as a Democratizing Force in Wealth Building   Powered by Stone Hill Wealth Management   Social Media Handles    Follow Phillip Washington, Jr. on Instagram (@askphillip)   Subscribe to Wealth Building Made Simple newsletter https://www.wealthbuildingmadesimple.us/   Ready to turn your investing dreams into reality?

What keeps you standing when life's storms begin to rise? In this powerful and encouraging message, we explore what it truly means to be Rooted and Grounded in Christ. Drawing from Colossians 2:6–7, we are reminded to continue walking in Him—rooted, built up, and established in the faith. A strong spiritual life doesn't happen by accident; it grows intentionally. Through Psalm 1:1, we learn the blessing of choosing godly counsel and positioning ourselves for growth. In Luke 6:48, Jesus paints the picture of a wise builder who digs deep and lays his foundation on the rock—standing firm when floods come. And in Romans 12:1, we are called to present our lives as living sacrifices, fully surrendered and transformed. In this sermon, you will discover: What it truly means to be spiritually rooted How to build a foundation that survives life's storms The importance of daily surrender and spiritual discipline How stability in Christ leads to consistent growth If you desire a life that is steady, fruitful, and unshaken, this message will challenge and encourage you to dig deeper and anchor yourself fully in Him.

In this episode, host Kyia talks about what it truly means to be rooted in Christ rather than simply planted for a season. She shares powerful analogies about deep roots, strong foundations, and the difference between being spiritually portable versus being committed to a local church. Through Scripture and personal reflection, Kyia unpacks why lasting spiritual growth requires consistency, accountability, and community. If you've ever felt spiritually unstable or disconnected, this conversation will challenge and encourage you to go deeper and get planted where God has called you.

As the people of God, we want to be marked by a mature faith–one where our roots grow down deep in God, and we are able to bear fruit in all seasons of life.

I spent 15 years only watching sports because of my life at ESPN, so I missed the initial Duck Dynasty craze—but getting to know Willie and Korie Robertson today was exactly what my soul needed. We go far beyond the camo and the beards to discuss the raw reality of family, faith, and what happens when your life changes overnight. In this episode, Korie and Willie get incredibly honest about their "rough start"—including a breakup at 17 and a "knockdown drag-out" fight with Korie's father before they got married at 18 and 19. We talk about the psychology of sudden fame, the "ginger angel" that changed Willie's health, and the "nuclear reactor" of stress that comes with running a family business while filming a hit TV show. We also dive deep into why they never left their hometown, how they handled the loss of the legendary Phil Robertson, and their mission to bring good news and revival to a world that feels increasingly dark. Whether you're a longtime fan or new to their journey, this conversation is a masterclass in resilience and staying rooted in what matters. Sponsors: Good Ranchers - Subscribe and save up to $500.

What scars do you carry? Maybe you've had a c-section (or 3) and don't want to wear a bathing suit anymore (among other reasons). Maybe you've been injured in an accident and try to disguise the evidence. Or maybe you've suffered from cancer and now have an ugly scar as a reminder of your survival. Whatever the reason, it's natural for us to want to cover unsightly scars from public view. When I was in my mid-twenties and almost put my eye out from accidentally shoving my face into a large splinter, I didn't realize the permanent damage that could have been done until the ER sent for a plastic surgeon. He said I was too young to carry a scar like that for the rest of my life, and I'm grateful he repaired the wound. Today I can barely see the scar. But only a few short years later I would deal with so much pain that there would be a permanent scar on my soul. This time, however, I was glad to have an enduring reminder of my healing.

In this message from John 15, we explore what it means to build a life that endures. Jesus reminds us that lasting fruit never comes from effort alone, but from staying connected to the true source of life. Shallow faith may look healthy for a season, but only deep roots can withstand storms and produce fruit that lasts.This sermon unpacks the difference between being near Jesus and abiding in Him, the slow rhythms that form spiritual depth, and why pruning, though painful, is often God's way of preparing us for greater growth. Along the way, we're reminded that discipleship is intentional, community is essential, and the fruit God grows in our lives is meant to bless others, especially in our homes, and to glorify Him for generations to come.Deep roots are not built by accident, and lasting fruit doesn't grow overnight. When we remain in Christ, God does a steady, faithful work that endures long after we are gone.2.1.2026 - Message 3

Home isn't just a place—it's a story. When my husband and I set out to build our forever home on his family's farm, we weren't just choosing land; we were choosing legacy. Every step across those pastures reminded us that roots matter—both the ones in the soil and the ones in our hearts. And as we stood beneath a solitary oak, we realized this journey was about more than a house. It was about building on a foundation that time can't shake.

As Christ followers, our goal isn't just to dabble in Scripture, but to grow deep roots in it. By learning to understand God's purpose and plan for Scripture, we can move beyond simply dabbling in it and allow our roots to grow, strong and deep. Psalm 1; 2 Timothy 3:16 Speaker: Kyle Idleman

Richard Sakwa and Volodymyr Ishchenko on why peace was lost—and who helped destroy it. Russia's illegal invasion of Ukraine did not come from nowhere. In this first of two parts, Richard Sakwa and Volodymyr Ishchenko cut through the common narrative that reduces the war to Putin alone, without excusing the invasion itself. The failure — and in key moments, US sabotage — of an inclusive European security order after the Cold War helped lay the ground for conflict. Inside Ukraine, post Soviet class conflicts led to the weaponization of language, identity, and nationalism. And the far right used the threat of violence to block President Zelensky's early efforts to pursue peace. Sakwa and Ishchenko show that understanding history is not justification — it is indictment.
