Podcasts about Delight

If you have a strong-willed child, you know how much energy they require—and if you have other kids too, you've probably wondered what this dynamic is doing to their siblings. Are they getting lost in the shuffle? Will they resent their brother or sister? Will they resent you? Many parents worry that their quieter child is fading into the background while the spicy one commands all the attention. And even though you're doing your best, it's hard to know how to protect all your kids when one requires so much more support. In this week's episode, I talked with Mary Van Geffen, author of the brand new book Parenting A Spicy One: Raising a Strong-Willed Child Without Breaking Their Spirit or Yours. Mary brings both personal experience as a former spicy child herself and professional expertise as a parenting educator, and she teaches us how to navigate sibling relationships in a way that protects everyone—including the child you might not realize needs protecting. In this episode, you'll learn:

Ram Dass explores how real change comes from within, not from external circumstances.

Learn more at ramdass.org.“But we don't yet appreciate the delight that comes from simplicity. Some of our poets, people like Whitman and all, have described it, but we've never really bought it yet. We really don't understand that in that simplicity lies a space in which one can plumb one's own depths of being and appreciate that who you are is an entity that has taken birth, that is passing through a series of experiences, all of which are useful in order to awaken to one's deeper self.” – Ram DassSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Psalm 37 provides a Discovery of our nature: it is natural to boil over with anger when we see wrong. However, the psalmist tells us to not let ourselves get this way. This starts with five things we must do in Dependence on God: trust in Him, commit/roll away our burden onto Him, Delight in Him, and cease from anger. This takes the Discipline of being still or silent once we have done all this, but once we have, God promises Deliverance. VF-2038 Psalm 37 Watch, Listen and Learn 24x7 at PastorMelissaScott.com Pastor Melissa Scott teaches from Faith Center in Glendale.

Praise Series #25 Delight In The LordPsalm 37:4 “Take delight in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart.”Have you ever thought about taking delight in the Lord?  I am sure this is not the only time this idea is presented in the Bible.  Actually there are more than 10 instances in the Bible where it talks about taking delight in the Lord or in His law.  I have never thought of taking delight in the Lord before.  I mean, I love him, and I spend time with him, but to be honest, when I read this verse, I wondered how I would even take delight in the Lord.  I literally typed into the search bar on my computer, “How does one delight in the Lord?”  I tell you this because I don't want you to think that because I am doing this podcast, I have everything figured out.  I don't want you to think when I speak I am speaking with any authority as if I was an expert.  I am on the same journey you are on.  We could study the Bible our whole lives and still not have it all figured out.When I read a scripture verse, I listen to what the Holy Spirit has to tell me about the verse. I also think about what I have learned up until this point, and sometimes, many times, I go to the internet to see what others say about this verse.  My goal with this podcast is for us to be on this journey together to discover God's Word more fully and to see how we can apply that Word to our daily lives.  I am not choosing verses that I already understand.  Actually, I am not really choosing the verses.  I am using the verses from my prayer group that people feel inspired by the Holy Spirit to share.  This means that often I get a verse and don't completely understand what it means.  Sometimes the Holy Spirit gives me understanding, and sometimes I find it through research.  I do know that it is important to read the scripture and to try to understand it.  This was confirmed at my prayer group the other day, someone felt strongly that the Lord wanted to tell us that His word is as pertinent today as it was then.  We have the Lord right in our tabernacle, and he is right there with us in adoration and in everything.  His word is still as powerful today as it was.  That is why it is important to read his word and fill us so that we can fill ourselves with what God wants to tell us. God will speak to you directly through the scriptures if you let Him.Ok, back to today's verse.  How does one delight in the Lord?  I found two really good articles and I will put a link to them in the show notes.  One of them was titled, “What Does It Mean To Take Delight In The Lord?” and was written by Tracy Kulwicki.  In this article Tracy talks not only about this verse, but the verses we discussed yesterday.  Psalm 37:3-4 “Trust in the Lord and do good. Then you will live safely in the land and prosper. Take delight in the Lord, and he will give you your heart's desires.”  The author said that before you get the desires of your heart, you need to trust in the Lord, do good, and take delight in the Lord.  She says the reason we need to do these things first is not that we need to win God over or because we need to work hard to get things from God.  The reason we need to do these things is that when we do these things first, then our desires become His.  We talked a lot yesterday about how to trust in the Lord and do good.  Today we will talk about how we delight in the Lord?  Here is what Tracy says about how we can delight in the Lord.  “When I take delight in my children, I spend time with them. I watch the things they do. I notice who they are. I notice their features and character. I laugh at the funny things they do. I hold them close. I talk with them. I listen to them. I recognize the unique things about them that make them who they are. I think about them often. I focus on the great things about them that I love. I remember the words they've said that melt my heart, the great memories we've created together, and the times when we overcame something challenging together.She went on to say, “We can do the same things with God. We take delight in God by spending time with Him, watching the things He is doing in our lives. We can notice who He is, learn about His features and characteristics. We can laugh at the funny moments in our lives that come from His hand. We can hold Him close, talk with Him, and listen to Him. Recognize who He is, think about Him all throughout our day, and focus on His greatness and love. We can remember the times He has moved in our lives, the things He has done for us, and the prayers He has answered.”I think this is both a great description of how we already delight in things and also how we can apply what we are already doing to God.  Just listening to that description of how we delight in our children made me smile.  It made me think of how much I love my children.  If you don't have children, I bet you do have something that you delight in as she described above.  It might be a pet, friends, nieces and nephews, cousins, friends.  Whatever it is that you delight in, that was a pretty good description of how we go about doing it.  Then thinking about how I could apply that to our Lord made me smile as well.  I love our Lord.  I am sure you do too, or you wouldn't be listening to a podcast titled, “Walk Boldly With Jesus.”  Thinking about all the ways we can delight in him makes me smile and warms my heart.  Let me break down some of the things she said so we can really remember them.Spend time with Him.  This is something we talk about a lot.  However, in this context, we are not talking about it as if spending time with the Lord is one more thing on your to-do list.  Spend time with Him with the intent to delight in Him.  Set aside time for Him and then look forward to that time in the same way you would look forward to spending time with anyone or anything that you delight in.Watch the things He is doing in your life.  Take notice throughout the day of what the Lord is doing in your life.  Focus on the big and small ways that God is showing up for you each and every day.  He is there and you will notice where He is if you look for Him.  The more you look, the more you will see Him.  
“Seek, and you shall find.”We can notice who He is.  We can learn about His features and characteristics.  There are a number of ways we can do this.  If we read the Bible, we will learn a lot about who God is, who Jesus is, and who the Holy Spirit is.  Reading God's word is a great way to get to know Him.  It is also not the only way.  You can read books written by Saints, theologians, and people who have studied the Bible and history.  You can listen to podcasts or watch movies about God.  We live in an age where all the knowledge you want is right at your fingertips.  Whatever way you learn best is great.  It doesn't have to be just one way.  There is no right or wrong way to learn about the Lord.  Do what is best for you.  There are many roads all leading to the same place.Laugh at the funny moments that God brings us.  I am sure we have all had funny moments in our lives.  I am sure we have had times when we knew how things were going to go and they went horribly wrong in our eyes, and perfectly right in the Lord's eyes.  When we are no longer in that situation, we can look back on it and see how funny it actually is.  God has a great sense of humor.  The ladies at the prayer group get to witness this frequently when God gives them a vision.  Think of any of these funny times that God has given to you.  Humor in our lives is a gift.We can hold Him close, talk to Him, and listen to Him.  These are all possible.  You may be wondering how we can hold Him close when He is not physically here.  I can think of two ways.  First, if you are Catholic, then you can receive the Eucharist, and He literally couldn't be any closer to you.  Second, you can hold him close to your heart in the same way that you hold those that you have lost close to your heart.  If you have ever lost someone close to you, then you know that is not just a figure of speech.  You are literally holding those people close to your heart.  I think we all know that we can talk to Him, but do we do it?  How often do you talk to the Lord?  He is always available and ready to listen.  If you are not doing this often, maybe it is time to do it more.  You may know that you can talk to the Lord, but did you know that you can listen to Him as well?  I don't think we do this often enough.  God wants to talk to us, but how many of us give Him the time to listen?  Recognize who He is.  When I read that, I think of praising Him.  Not just recognizing that He is God, but recognizing all that entails.  Recognizing that He is the creator of all things.  He is the Lord God Almighty.  There is so much to who He is, and taking some time to explore that and to celebrate that would definitely help you delight in Him.Think about Him all throughout the day and focus on His goodness and His Love.  This is a great one to end with.  Try to turn your thoughts to Him all throughout the day.  I believe she mentioned in the article to set reminders on your phone until you are trained to do it automatically.  Also, focus on His goodness and His love.  When we focus on those two things, I don't know how we can do anything else but delight in the Lord.  God's goodness and love are so amazing.  They are unsurpassed by anything else.  If we keep these in mind, we are guaranteed to delight in Him.There is so much more in Tracy's article.  I urge you to read her full article.  (click here for article) You can click on the link in the show notes or even just Google “What does it mean to take delight in the Lord?”  Her website is workingmomsbalance.com. It was a great article, and it went into more detail than I could in this episode.  I just want to leave you with the question, “What can you do today to delight in the Lord?”Dear Heavenly Father, I ask that you bless all those who listen to this episode today.  Lord, we love you, and we want to delight in you.  Lord, help us to get to know you better and help us to spend more time with you.  Help us to notice where you are in our lives, Lord, and help us to remember all the funny things you have done.  You are amazing Lord and we are so very thankful for all that you do for us every day.  You keep showing up for us even when we aren't the best at showing up for you, and we are grateful for that, Lord.  We ask all of this in accordance with your will and in Jesus' holy name, Amen.Thank you so much for joining me to walk boldly with Jesus.  I look forward to spending time with you tomorrow.  Remember, Jesus loves you just as you are, and so do I! Have a blessed day!Today's Word from the Lord was received in August 2025 by a member of my Catholic Charismatic Prayer Group. If you have any questions about the prayer group, these words, or how to join us for a meeting, please email CatholicCharismaticPrayerGroup@gmail.com. Today's Word from the Lord is, “He's sharing another vision here. This one is for those who are on Zoom and think they're not really here. And what the Lord is showing me is that the angel that stands behind them, their guardian angel, has not disconnected from any one of our angels because there's no time and space. So those out in Zoom are still in the circle of His love as we speak, even though sometimes they feel like they're not really participating. But he's saying, No, this is not true. You're participating even more because the distance is shorter.” www.findingtruenorthcoaching.comCLICK HERE TO DONATECLICK HERE to sign up for Mentoring CLICK HERE to sign up for Daily "Word from the Lord" emailsCLICK HERE to sign up for my newsletter & receive a free audio training about inviting Jesus into your daily lifeCLICK HERE to buy my book Total Trust in God's Safe Embrace

The numbers are in—and on the surface, they look great. In today's episode, we break down the latest macroeconomic data that's painting a surprisingly rosy picture for the financial markets. Strong growth signals, cooling pressures, and data that seems to support risk-on behavior… but is it really that simple? The big question: Does this wave of positive data influence policy at the upcoming meeting of the Federal Reserve? We'll dig into how the Fed interprets macro data, what actually matters versus what just makes headlines, and whether this "data delight" gives policymakers cover to pause, cut, or stay cautious. If you trade macro, rates, or equities, this episode helps you separate optimism from reality. Listen now:

This book has been taking shape for years in Stephanie's heart, and now everyone connected to Gospel Spice is invited to take part.Go to https://www.gospelspice.com/awakendelight to preorder, and more!You can experience Psalm 37:4 as your daily reality. In Awaken Delight, Stephanie Rousselle connects scriptural and theological truth to your everyday life so you can experience what delighting in God really means. It's not about checking boxes on a spiritual to-do list or mustering a constant state of positive feelings. Rather, delight is about satisfying your soul's deepest longing through a vibrant relationship with the living God.Delight in God is neither a robotic or purely intellectual act, nor just a fleeting emotion. Instead, it arises from the intentional merging of knowledge and experience—head and heart, theology and personal encounter. Delighting in God is a conscious choice, something that not always comes naturally, but must be nurtured. While God could have programmed us to delight in Him, He instead gives us the freedom—and the gracious invitation—to respond and pursue that joy ourselves.The deepest delight in God grows when theology and experience meet. As Stephanie illustrates using chocolate—the joy isn't just in knowing about it, but in tasting it. Similarly, knowing God is delightful and tasting that delight through living relationship leads to sustained spiritual joy.By looking to Christ as your model of divine delight, you can discover that no matter what you're experiencing―whether weariness, sorrow, hope, or happiness―you truly can "taste and see that the Lord is good." If you are longing for a revived faith filled with hope, delight, worth, and grace, Awaken Delight invites you to cultivate a worshipful, life-giving delight in God that's rooted in God's delight in you. Delight in God slays hopelessness and anchors us in His reality.YOU are invited to engage in the adventure in two distinct, complementary ways:·         Pre-order the book: You will receive many worthwhile bonuses, including access to the Gospel Spice “French Faith” course, the Awaken Delight online book club, gorgeous giveaways, and other gifts.

We trace how delight in God reshapes desire, discipline, and daily life, drawing from Psalm 37 and Psalm 27. David's singular focus under pressure becomes a model for moving from visiting God to dwelling with God, replacing anxiety with unhurried affection and relational trust.• Delight as softening the heart so God plants new desires• David's one thing focus amid conflict in Psalm 27• Desire narrowing attention and clarifying pursuit• Abiding over occasional visits to cultivate peace• Prayer with thanksgiving reframing anxiety• Relational faith versus transactional religion• Discovery and guidance flowing from communion• Fasting as posture for desire, not performance• Confidence born from knowing God's nature and ways

David loved God's Word, and it shaped his whole life. In week 2 of "Cover to Cover," Pastor Josh explores Psalm 19, showing how cherishing Scripture helps us cherish God Himself. From David's victories and failures to his deep devotion, learn how reading, reflecting, and responding to God's Word can renew your life and grow your relationship with Him. // Verses and message notes: www.theridge.church/notes // Join us online or in person Sundays at 9a + 11a: www.theridge.church/live

Last week, we began a series called Overflow, which stems from one word the Lord spoke to Pastor John in December: full. Jesus said the enemy only comes to steal, kill, and destroy, but He came to bring us a full and abundant life. Jesus also said that what fills you up on the inside will make its way to the surface for all to see. From the overflow of the heart, the mouth speaks, and from the root of the tree, the fruit is produced. The overflow of our lives — the things we say and do — is directly connected to what fills us. In the time of the year when people do some self-reflection and are most likely to try to make changes in their lives, the goal is to not focus too much on the outside stuff. What you see is not the problem; it’s the symptom. If you want the overflow of your life to look different, you’re going to have to see what fills your soul. We started off talking about being full of love; this week’s message is Full of Joy.

Something To Think About Series #299 Thought of the day from Venerable Robina Courtin

“Serve the Lord with gladness.” — Psalm 100:2 Delight in divine service is a token of acceptance. Those who serve God with a sad countenance, because they do what is unpleasant to them, are not serving Him at all; they bring the form of homage, but the life is absent. Our God requires no slaves […]

Disappointment has a way of showing up unexpectedly—sometimes through life-altering hardship, and sometimes through smaller shifts that still sting deeply. This devotional reminds us that even when our disappointments feel insignificant compared to others’ struggles, they still matter to God because they matter to us. And while we may wish disappointing days would disappear completely, Scripture is honest that trouble is part of life. But so is God’s steady presence. One of the most comforting truths offered here is that disappointment is not proof that God is disappointed in us. It isn’t a sign that we’ve done something wrong or that we’ve fallen out of favor. Instead, God knows exactly where we are, and He has not abandoned us in the space we’re in. The devotional points to Psalm 18:19 as a reminder that God rescues and provides refuge because He delights in His children. That means even when circumstances feel cramped, heavy, or discouraging, God can still lead us into a “spacious place”—a place where peace is present, where protection is real, and where we can still see His blessings at work. God’s delight in us is constant. And in return, He invites us to find our delight in Him—even on disappointing days. That doesn’t mean ignoring sorrow or forcing happiness. It means turning toward the One who remains faithful, who offers refuge in the middle of our letdowns, and who is guiding us toward a future shaped by His goodness. Even in disappointment, we are never outside God’s care, His plan, or His delight. Main Takeaways Disappointment is part of life, but it is never proof that God is disappointed in you. God is not surprised by your circumstances—He is present and active in them. The Lord offers refuge and rescue in the very middle of discouragement. God delights in you consistently, even when your joy feels threatened. You can find true delight in God’s presence, even on hard days.

What if the sound of heaven is laughter?Drawing on The Divine Comedy by Dante Alighieri, biblical wisdom, and surprising research, this episode explores joy not as a personality trait, but as a spiritual strength. Humor. Playfulness. Delight. These are not distractions from spiritual growth. They are often the pathway into it.From babies laughing at peekaboo to the story of Isaac, whose very name means laughter, we discover that joy is woven into the heart of God. Even more, joy is compatible with pain. Real joy does not deny suffering. It survives it.So today, laugh. Do something fun for no reason at all. You might just discover that God is closer than you thought.
