Podcasts about defining faith

So many of us live our lives in fear, even if it's not obvious.We make decisions not to lose things instead of stepping out in faith and growing.We cling on tight to what we have, without realizing that if we let go of it, God may have bigger and better things in store for us.I share some real life, boots on the ground examples of turning from fear to faith that will help you exhale, trust God, and move forward with peace and faith.In this episode:0:00 Intro01:04 Defining Faith (and Why Care)02:12 Bringing Faith To Life Through The 7FM Mastermind Event (Shirt Inspo)03:36 What Is Faith?

Faith is crucial in the Christian journey and is highlighted throughout the Bible as essential for pleasing God and living according to His will. Various verses emphasize different aspects of faith, such as walking, standing, living, and being saved by faith. Jesus was “amazed” at both the lack of faith and the strength of faith […]

From Heb. 11:1-3 we see that faith is reliable, receiving, and revelation.

Faith is belief lived out in real life. We begin our study of faith by defining what the word means in real life settings. Faith requires action, faith grows through doubt, and faith plays a long game.

Faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see. — Hebrews 11:1 Maybe you've played the “Trust-Fall” game. To engage in this game, you stand straight and fall backward into the arms of someone who is standing there, ready to catch you. If you have played this game, you know how hard it is to fall back without bending your waist. Entrusting yourself to a support you can't see is never easy. It requires faith. Before we join Abraham on his journey of faith, we need to understand what true faith is. Often we think of faith like a spare tire—something we might need in case of emergency to keep us moving on the road of life. As a result, we tend to replace faith with something that seems more tangible, more substantial. Hebrews 11:1 defines faith as “confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see.” Faith is a firm belief about something we cannot see or completely ­figure out. But faith is not blind, and it does not conflict with reason. It simply rises above ­reason and operates on a different level. It doesn't say, “In human analysis I trust.” Rather, it says, “In God I trust.” Like a rope that a mountain climber uses to rappel down a cliff, faith leans back and relies wholly on Jesus. It involves choosing to act in dependence on God. And when we do, God is pleased. Lord, you know how hard it is for us to trust you with our lives. Help us in our times of unbelief. Bolster our sagging faith so that we may walk confidently with you. Amen.

Today I welcomed Kris Beyer onto the show! Not only is she my aunt, but she is a former D1 Swimmer at Syracuse, a personal trainer/coach, a business owner, a 6 time champion in natural bodybuilding (through the American Natural Bodybuilding Competition), and a Syracuse Letter of Distinction (awarded to individuals with distinguishable contributions to their community, university, profession, and sport). Today on the podcast, we discuss faith in changing seasons. Whether "changing seasons" involves sports, relationships, health, or any other matter, faith is what has kept us grounded and hopeful. My Aunt Krissy has been a "balcony person" for me since I was a young girl, helping me stay encouraged, hopeful, and faithful through my toughest seasons with basketball. Listen to learn about some of my Aunt's experiences in sports & outside of sports, all of which have worked to strengthen her faith. I hope you all enjoy! -GB♡ Timestamps: ‣ 00:00 Introduction ‣ 03:45 Defining Faith ‣ 07:19 Sustaining Faith Through Challenges ‣ 13:43 Dealing with the "Impossible" ‣16:40 Praying Boldly; Making Requests Known to God ‣ 20:27 A Near-Death Experience ‣ 29:14 Finding Your Purpose ‣ 31:15 Surrender ‣ 33:30 Everyone has Faith by Default ‣ 36:15 Maximizing Athletic Potential ‣ 41:44 The Importance of “What's Next?” and Staying Driven in Every Stage of Life ‣ 44:46 Faith in Finding the Good ‣ 46:50 Faith in Yourself ‣ 48:30 Synopsis and Closing

Faith is not a figment of our imagination it is substance.

The post 66. Defining Faith – Holiday Repost Series appeared first on South Spring Baptist Church.

Our very own Jayson Quiñones gives us a message today entitled Defining Faith.

Pastor Mark continues our study from the Book of Hebrews, Faith Moving Forward.

Not by sight is walking by faith in God. We explore faith and how we find the abundant life of sure hope and wondrous love in Jesus.

Is it short episode, I discuss what faith means to me and how we can utilize it to grow ourselves. I discuss when and how to use it, the correlation between faith and wisdom, and the importance of faith in general. I hope you find this episode valuable and meaningful for you and I would love to hear your thoughts on faith and your definition of Faith as well. If you have any questions,, concerns, or suggestions, please email me at dfaucha@gmail.com I look forward to hearing from you! --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/eyeseegrowth/support

Lack of definition leads to confusion and to lack of consistency. Are we doing the same with our faith? // Metro exists to help young adults see the beauty of Jesus and seek to know Him personally. Join us every Tuesday night at 7:30 as we gather to study God's Word and worship!

Joshed Raw (Josh) provides a definition for faith deconstruction and explores why it is important and necessary despite your belief system and, especially, why Christians have been engaging in faith deconstruction more frequently. He concludes the episode by giving insight into the start of his own faith deconstruction. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/godsoftomorrow/support

After being directly involved in Bible translation since 1983, I have wanted to share with younger generations about the things I have learned from my experiences as a Bible translator— the things that made the most impact on me through my years. I have now decided to put a few of my most important stories in this JoySightings podcast. I know that I am never going to write a book. But now if anyone ever asks about my experiences, I will have a place to send them: Go to JoySightings.info and start at episode 52. I hope to add several other stories this year. Today I will also read one more parable of Safed the Sage. When we were about 7-8 years into the Orya translation project, back around 1991, Nahe asked one Sunday morning to have a private conversation with me. Nahe and I had never had much communication, so I felt it was an unusual request. I knew him mainly as a young guy who made his income by cutting trees into lumber with his chainsaw. He was strong and athletic, but a man of few words. He came that evening and we sat down together in my candle-lit rustic cabin's front room. He said, “You wouldn't have heard this, because it happened in another village. I got very sick and died. When I came back to life, the men were already building my coffin. But while I was dead, I went to heaven and saw wonderful things. The people in heaven are so happy and rejoicing.” He ended his story with tears in his eyes saying this, “I cry every single day because I know that someone like me can't go to heaven. What do I have to do to be saved?” I thought, “Oh boy! A chance to be a real missionary! This will make a good prayer letter.” (But I was in for a surprise!) I immediately answered his question from the book of Acts chapter 16, “Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved.” (Acts 16:31) Nahe answered, “That's just it! How can I tell if I have believed?” I responded incredulously, “Can't you tell if you've believed something?” And he said, “We Orya people don't think so.” That's how the conversation went according to my understanding of it in those moments. But what we said really meant this: I answered wrongly from the book of Acts, “Have faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved.” Nahe's answer made sense, “That's just it! How can I tell if I have faith?” I responded incredulously, “Can't you tell if you have faith?” And he said, “We Orya people don't think so.” The difference is between ‘believe' and ‘faith'. It took a little while in the conversation before I figured out what Nahe was saying. This was a heavy moment for me, because I realized that the word for ‘believe' that we had used in all our translation work for six years was wrong, including verses in Scripture booklets we had carefully checked and distributed. Long before we arrived in Guay, the word that the Orya people used to translate ‘faith' was ei gwen, or to have ‘inner fruit'. By ‘inner fruit' the Orya meant the inside part that you eat when you take off the skin. It's the inside of the papaya or watermelon. The situation might be compared to buying a papaya at the market. You don't know whether the inside is red or yellow until you take it home and cut it open. Nahe told me that the Orya people assumed that you couldn't know if you had this inner fruit (or faith) inside you until you died. They thought that at the door of heaven, God would somehow do an operation to reveal if you had any of the right stuff inside you. It was clear that if we used ‘have inner fruit' to translate ‘believe', then no Orya person could tell if they had done the required action to be saved. No one could have assurance of salvation! After that Sunday evening conversation with Nahe, all day Monday Boas and I and several others worked to make sure we found exactly the right word for ‘believe' in Orya. The word for believe in Orya is not ei gwen, but taïblïblan. There is a weird twist that has happened with the words for faith and believe in several languages that is not like the Greek words pisteuo and pistis. The Greek words have the same root, so they sound alike.   Greek English Indonesian Orya verb pisteuo I believe Saya percaya taïblïblan noun pistis faith iman ei gwen visually clearly related dissimilar dissimilar dissimilar If only pisteuo (I believe) and pistis/pisteos (noun/possesive noun) were translated into English with similar looking words like ‘I'm confident' and ‘confidence', we wouldn't have so many false teachings being spread around! But because ‘believe' and ‘faith' share no visible or audible root relationship, the English noun faith has been allowed to wander— so to speak. The cohesion between pisteuo and pistis that was obvious for the original readers in Grrek has been lost in translation. Perhaps because of the influence of the KJV on Indonesian translations, the same thing has happened in Indonesian. The result is that the Indonesian word iman (like ‘faith' in English) is used for all sorts of things, including inner fortitude, vague hope, blind trust, denominational faith, and a force for good luck. Notice what happens in verses like Ephesians 2:8: “For by grace you have been saved through faith. …” If you want to be saved, it would be a good idea to understand ‘faith'. But so many people who ask Nahe's question, “How can I tell if I have faith,” will get all sorts of misleading answers. Dear friend, anytime you want to understand what ‘faith' means in a verse in the New Testament, just remember that you can substitute the word ‘believe', ‘believed', or ‘believing' (whatever form fits) in place of the word ‘faith'. NLT translates Ephesians 2:8 as “God saved you by his grace when you believed. …” If you substitute the word ‘believe' for ‘faith' in translations that use that word, you will probably find that you want to add an object. You can choose an object from the context such as these: ‘believe in Christ', ‘believe in the gospel', ‘believe true teachings', or ‘believe God's promises'. Now you know why in the Daily Bible Reading podcasts that I always substitute the word ‘believe' or ‘fully believing' for ‘faith' in the NLT or GNT. It all stems from my conversation with Nahe. You see, I want people to know how to be saved. Note that believing is a volitional act. We decide to believe, and we better hope our decisions are based on good logic and evidence. That is what makes it so different from the word ‘faith'. People believe that ‘faith' just sort of happens. False teachers make money by promoting all sorts of things that they claim will increase your faith. But remember that in Greek, faith is the noun form for the verb believe. So if God gives you clear evidence of his power and love for you, like He did when he led the people of Israel out of Egypt, and then you refuse to believe in his good will for you, that is called stubborn disobedience. Believing is a volitional act. Deciding to believe what God says equals increasing your faith. I wish I could tell you that Nahe followed through with my advice to fully believe in Jesus. Nahe's widow goes to close friend Boas' church, and I happened to meet her in his village two years ago. We both feel that Nahe never believed in Jesus to the point that it changed his life. But, interestingly, on that same visit to Boas' village, two old friends there told me stories of their dying, going to heaven, and being told to return to this world. (If you ever experienced malaria, you would know how easy it would be to nearly die!) I am encouraged that both of my two old friends show signs of true new life in Christ. Friends, I want everyone to get a clear answer to the question, “How can I be sure I am saved?” I want you to not get confused by the fuzzy word ‘faith'. Remember, faith is fully believing what the Bible says. Every time you read God's Word and decide that you believe what you find there, you have increased your faith.

Episode #138 What if you could go on a “mission-trip” right where you are?  In today's episode, we're talking about how you can do exactly that.For many Christians, the “overseas” mission is the mark of a true radical follower of Jesus. By withstanding some discomfort for a short period of time we, have shown we are committed. Would most of us be willing to withstand challenging conversations in the workplace? Can we show our commitment there? Why is there a clear difference between these two contexts?  Join me as I visit with fellow author and podcaster Mike Henry. As the founder and CEO of Follower of One, Mike aims to grow the biblical understanding that ministry is everywhere. Follower of One is an online community that supports believers as they learn to walk-out “missions” within the context of daily work-life. In this episode: 1:10 – Introducing Mike Henry 2:31 – The Follower of One ministry  3:20 – Is work a ministry? 4:45 – Mike Henry's testimony into ministry and why it did not include a full-time ministry vocation.  10:03 – Defining “Faith at Work” and exposing misconceptions  11:06 – When does it actually “feel” like we are serving God? How do we know what ministry is?  13:03 – The Market Place mission trip. A way for any person to connect to their calling to influence their workplace for God's purposes.  22:50 – The simplicity of workplace ministry and partner with the Holy Spirit  28:02 – The vision and opportunity that Follower of One offers us all.   Resources: MikeHenrySr.com followerofone.org and check out their podcast on YouTube and your favorite podcast platforms -----------------------Click here to sign up for our FREE 5-day BOOT CAMP.
