Podcasts about doing good

When we are under the influence of the Holy Spirit, our very character changes. From within, we become different. Girl, you’re simply not who you once were. Have you noticed as you change and grow it almost puts a spotlight on our loved ones who are NOT. Maybe someone you love is NOT under the influence of the Holy Spirit and they seem to be stuck in old way … well, they are. When you invite the presence of God into your life HE makes you new. 2 Corinthians 5:17, “Anyone who belongs to Christ has become a new person. The old life is gone; a new life has begun!” This means if someone DOESN’T belong to Christ, they’re still the same old person living the same life. Their answer is not to try harder – their answer is to surrender their life to Jesus and let the Holy Spirit change them from within! So, here we are as surrendered souls being made new. We’re being reworked from the inside so we’re becoming different, growing different fruit in our lives. Naturally, when the inside has changed, the outside begins to change as well. Today we study the next fruit produced in our life under the influence of the Holy Spirit – GOODNESS. The Greek word translated into goodness has a root word meaning good, upright and excellent. When the suffix is added, it turns into a character trait. The full meaning of this word “goodness” means to have moral excellence, an upright heart, integrity and goodness in action. And where does this goodness come from? Only ONE source – this is God’s goodness flowing through us. This is not self-produced goodness. This isn’t a 10 step program to change your heart and realign your morals. This isn’t being kind, doing nice things, changing your morals – this is God himself expressing HIS character through your surrendered life. This is simply the goodness of God himself dwelling within, transforming you, and then naturally flowing out from you. When you surrender your life to God, HE makes you good. If you’re struggling with a twisted heart or mind, there’s ONE who is in the business of untwisting – that’s the work of the Holy Spirit. And every single one of us have gotten a little twisted. Life in this world has a way of doing that. Human nature is a twisting. We simply can’t live well without God’s influence and direction. This is NEVER a matter of you being a better person than someone else – this is always a matter of God’s almighty work within you. Without God, you would be one twisted girl living in utter darkness – and that’s just the humbling truth. The Holy Spirit changes our character to GOODNESS. He aligns our morals with God’s. He teaches us to do what is right even when no one is watching. He grows our desires in the direction of integrity. We don’t do that ourselves. Girl, if there’s goodness in you, that’s a work of God, not of you! This fruit of goodness is a growing of WHO YOU ARE. It’s an external proof of the internal transformation happening. God is GOOD. His power is good. His ways are good. His plans are good. And when your soul is surrendered to Him as Lord and He is in control of your life, then He is living inside of you, making you good. It starts with Him and flows into you. This isn’t an act of willpower on your part; this is an act of surrender. This isn’t an achievement; this is a transformation. Goodness is the overflow of abiding in Christ. The fruit isn’t something you force—it is something God grows as you remain connected to Him. Goodness starts with God. Goodness flows into you. Goodness grows through you. Goodness blesses everyone around you. If you take GOD out of GOODNESS, you are left with o-ness. If you’re trying to make yourself be good without the power of the Holy Spirit working in you, you may achieve good behavior for a while, but you’ll never produce godly goodness. Only God can produce God’s character. GOODNESS IS GOD’S CHARACTER. We try to be good without God and we just end up exhausting ourselves trying to become by effort – but this goodness is only produced through surrender to God. Do you want to be better? SURRENDER! Then the fruit of goodness will naturally grow! Jesus shows us what the goodness of God within looks like in action. Acts 10:38 puts it simply, “Jesus went around doing good.” The character of goodness always produces goodness in action. The more the Holy Spirit works his goodness in you, the more your actions align to those of Jesus. Girl, you’re going to be going around DOING GOOD! What if your entire life became about going around just doing good! You want to represent Jesus to this world – go around doing good! Let God’s goodness flow through you onto everyone you encounter! Ephesians 2:10 says we’re created to do the good things God planned for us. Doing good things doesn’t save us – But the goodness of God growing in us naturally has us going around doing good things! Think about that – do you notice that in your own journey with God? The more you grow in Jesus – the more you learn and follow the promptings of the Holy Spirit – the more he has you going around doing good things! How radically cool is that? THAT’S THE FRUIT OF GOODNESS GROWING IN YOUR LIFE! So today, don’t leave our time together thinking, “I need to try harder to be good.” Leave thinking, “I need to stay closer to God.” Fruit never grows because the branch strains harder—it grows because it stays connected to the vine. The closer you live to Jesus, the more His goodness becomes your goodness. Before you know it, you’ll find yourself speaking with more integrity, loving more deeply, giving more generously, forgiving more freely, serving more joyfully, and doing good almost without thinking about it. That’s the Holy Spirit transforming your character. Girl, this world doesn’t just need more nice people. It needs more people so surrendered to Jesus that His goodness overflows into every conversation, every decision, every relationship, and every ordinary day. So stay surrendered. Stay connected. Stay under the influence of the Holy Spirit. Then go around doing good, because everywhere the goodness of God goes, darkness loses ground and people catch a glimpse of Jesus. And really that’s what it’s all about – show the world JESUS! Every act of goodness points beyond us. Every kind word, every generous act, every choice of integrity, every quiet sacrifice becomes another opportunity for someone to catch a glimpse of Jesus. So let His goodness grow in you, flow through you, and reveal Him to the world.

In deze aflevering van Doing Good ging Marc van Hal in gesprek met Aron Lammerts van Bueren, mindset- en zelfvertrouwenscoach en hypnotiseur. Aron begon op zijn zestiende met ondernemen en ontdekte hypnose als middel om beperkende overtuigingen te doorbreken. Marc van Hal praat met hem over zijn dieptepunten, waarom hij crises als kansen ziet en waarom echt zelfvertrouwen volgens hem altijd van binnenuit komt. Doing Good is elke laatste maandag van de maand van 16.00 tot 17.00 uur live te beluisteren op GoodLIFE Radio. De aflevering is daarna terug te luisteren als podcast via de bekende podcastplatforms.

On this episode of Rumors of Doing Good, Rob sits down with Jitendra Nayak from Odisha, India, who has chosen to live life alongside the Dalit community. Rather than observing from a distance, Jitendra enters into their daily realities—sharing in their struggles, celebrating their resilience, and witnessing the quiet ways hope and goodness take root. In their conversation, they explore what it means to journey with people whose stories are too often overlooked, and how deep presence, long-term relationships, and solidarity can cultivate a kind of goodness that grows slowly but meaningfully. Jitendra's experience challenges us to rethink what it means to do good in our own communities, and invites us to notice the whispers of hope happening all around us.

What does the Bible actually mean by justice? And how should Christians think about "social justice" in today's cultural climate? In this episode of Truth Changes Everything, we sit down with Dr. Christina Crenshaw to explore why justice has become such a defining issue for Gen Z and how Christians can pursue justice in a way that is rooted in Scripture rather than shifting cultural ideologies. Drawing from her book Redeeming Justice: Reclaiming God's Vision for Doing Good in the World, Christina explains the difference between biblical justice and modern social justice, why worldview matters, and how the gospel transforms the way Christians engage brokenness in the world. Together we discuss: *Why justice has become central to Gen Z identit *The difference between biblical justice and social justice *Worldview assumptions behind modern activism *Grace-based justice vs. guilt-driven activism *How Jesus redefined justice *What biblical justice looks like for students today Dr. Christina Crenshaw is an Assistant Professor at Arizona Christian University and a Fellow with its Cultural Research Center. With more than twenty years in Christian education, she has taught widely in leadership, spiritual formation, literature, and human trafficking prevention. She is the author of Redeeming Justice: Reclaiming God's Vision for Doing Good in the World.

What does it mean to live a life of faith when everything around us feels a bit shaken? Dave brings us to the final chapter of the letter to the Hebrews, reminding us that the Christian life is an adventure, a race, and a walk of faith where we have to keep our eyes firmly fixed on Jesus. As the world changes and uncertainties creep in, Dave highlights the ultimate anchor for our souls: “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.” Dave breaks down three key things the writer of Hebrews reminds us to do: 1.

Host Jeremy C. Park interviews Megan McInnis, Founder and Executive Director of Doing Good, a 501(c)3 B2B nonprofit that serves other agencies by providing marketing and PR tools and opportunities. She describes how the organization started when she was looking for positive information about nonprofits in Nashville, eventually speaking with over 300 people about their experiences with nonprofits. Megan outlines their current monthly process of celebrating one organization through podcast episodes, blog posts, social media, and press releases, while also serving as a matchmaker to connect nonprofits with other potential media and marketing partners. She explains that Doing Good is entirely volunteer-run with team members located across the country, though about half are in Middle Tennessee. She describes the volunteer base as diverse, including creative people at various experience levels who volunteer remotely to help celebrate the work of nonprofits across the country. Megan explains how Doing Good seeks to celebrate nonprofits and volunteers through nominations on their website, with a focus on providing visibility during relevant times or events. She notes that while planning can vary depending on the situation, they prefer working further in advance to allow for more creativity and additional opportunities for the organizations being featured. Megan mentions the example of the Middle Tennessee Space Society being highlighted during the eclipse as an instance of timing-specific celebration. Megan discusses feedback from nonprofit partners regarding their service. The partners express amazement at receiving service at no cost and appreciate the overall experience, including their first podcast interviews. Megan emphasizes that the service not only provides valuable content but also shows appreciation for the nonprofits' work.

The discussion touches on starting with three episodes and seeking support from both individual and corporate donors to help reach the necessary funding levels.

בפרק מיוחד שהוקלט בלייב באירוע ההשקה של הקורס הדיגיטלי "היזם האנושי" בלאומיטק, והראשון לשנת 2026, אירחתי את אורן קניאל, מייסד שותף ומנכ"ל AppsFlyer. אורן מוביל היום חברה גלובלית שחוצה את רף ה-500 מיליון דולר בהכנסות, אבל השיחה איתו היתה הכל חוץ מרשמית. למעשה, לפי התגובות של הקהל באולם, אורן לגמרי צריך לשקול קריירה קריירה נוספת כסטנדאפיסט ולא רק כיזם ומנכ"ל מוכשר. השיחה שלנו לא עסקה במספרים ובסקייל אלא באדם שמאחורי המנכ"ל – זה שמתרגש לראות את עצמו של לפני 14 שנה בקהל, שמאמין שכל אחד מאיתנו הוא פסיפס של חוויות, ושיודע להפוך כל "לא" לדלק שמניע את המנוע קדימה. מהמטבח הצבאי ללב האקוסיסטם: פסיפס של חוויות המסלול של אורן ליזמות לא עבר ביחידות הטכנולוגיות הנוצצות כמו יזמים מצליחים רבים אחרים. הוא גדל בקרית מוצקין, התאהב במחשבים מגיל אפס - אבל בצבא מצא את עצמו דווקא כטבח. במשך שנים הוא ראה בחלק הזה במסע שלו פספוס ואכזבה גדולה, וניסה להתחמק משאלות בנוגע לשירותו הצבאי, אבל היום הוא מבין שדווקא שם נבנו חלק מהיסודות ליזמות שלו. המטבח לימד אותו אחריות אדירה – הידיעה שאם הוא לא מתפקד, אף אחד לא זז. הוא למד שם יצירתיות עם חומרי גלם, את היכולת לספק חוויה יומיומית לאנשים, ובעיקר את היכולת להתמודד עם ארגון מורכב כמו הצבא. עבור אורן, כל חוויה בדרך – מהתיקון של מחשבים כילד על אופניים, עובר בהטסת טיסנים כתחביב ילדות ועד לעבודה ב-VC בארצות הברית – היא חלק מהפסיפס שבונה את ה"אני" היזמי. זוגיות, שותפות ו"סוויץ'" במוח: לנהל הרמוניה, לא איזון אחד ההיבטים הייחודיים במסע של אורן הוא השותפות עם רשף, חבר מהתיכון, ועם ליסה, בת זוגו, שהפכה לחלק בלתי נפרד מהקמת החברה. אורן מודה בחיוך ששותפות כזו היא לא עבור כל אחד, אבל עבורם זו הייתה מציאות שנוצרה מתוך תשוקה משותפת והפכה לאחד מסודות ההצלחה של AppsFlyer. המפתח שלו להישרדות בתוך האינטנסיביות הזו הוא ה**"סוויץ'"** – היכולת המנטלית להעביר מודים. כשהוא עם הילדים, הוא באולטימייט פוקוס איתם; הוא לא חושב על העבודה. הוא לא מאמין במושג "Work-Life Balance" כי הוא מרגיש שזה מציב את העבודה מול החיים. מבחינתו, הכל צריך לחיות בהרמוניה של מערכות יחסים, שבהן מקיפים את עצמנו באנשים שכיף לנו לראות בבוקר, גם אם (ואולי בגלל) שהם יודעים להתווכח איתנו ולהגיד לנו שאנחנו טועים. מנהיגות כשקיפות ופידבק: חברות שלא נותנת הנחות בתוך התרבות של AppsFlyer, אורן מוביל קו של שקיפות ופידבק יומיומי. הוא מאמין שהיכולת לתת פידבק, גם כשזה לא נעים לשמוע, היא הביטוי האמיתי של אחריות וחברות. הוא מצפה מהאנשים שלו להיות אלה שמאתגרים אותו, שסותרים את דבריו ושעוזרים לו להשתפר. בעיניו, יזמות היא לא רק להקים חברה, אלא לקום בבוקר עם נחישות לשנות דברים בתוך המסגרת שבה אתה נמצא – בין אם אתה יזם או שכיר. הוא מעודד "Beginner's Mind" – להסתכל על הכל בסקרנות של פעם ראשונה, ודורש מהעובדים שלו להיות פרואקטיביים ולהשתמש בכלים חדשים כמו AI כדי לפלס דרכים חדשות. Doing Well by Doing Good: אגואיזם של נתינה אורן טוען שאין דבר יותר "אנוכי" מאשר לעזור לאחרים, כי התמורה שמקבלים חזרה היא עצומה. AppsFlyer מושקעת בפרויקטים חברתיים עמוקים: ממערכת יחסים רב-שנים עם ניצולי שואה ועד פרויקטים טכנולוגיים עם "Restart" לשיקום פצועי צה"ל. אלו לא רק תרומות כספיות; אלו צוותי פיתוח ודיזיין שמפתחים מוצרים מותאמים אישית לצרכים הייחודיים של הפצועים. בעיניו, העשייה הזו מחזקת את העובדים, נותנת להם תשוקה ומזכירה להם למה הם צריכים לבנות ביזנס מצוין – כדי שנוכל להמשיך להשפיע לטובה על העולם. איך להתמודד עם ה"לא": אין "לא", יש "לא עכשיו" התובנה אולי הכי חזקה של אורן ליזמים בתחילת הדרך נוגעת להתמודדות עם דחייה. כשמישהו אומר לו "לא", הוא פשוט שומע "לא עכשיו". הוא לא רואה במשקיעים גאונים שיודעים הכל; הוא מאמין שהיזם הוא זה שחייב להיות ה-"Domain Expert" שיודע הכי טוב. במקום להישבר מה"לא", הוא משתמש בו כדי לייצר "Fire" פנימי. זהו חוסן שנבנה מתוך היכולת לא להיתקע, לקבל אנרגיה מהקושי ולהמשיך לרוץ קדימה מתוך אמונה בלתי מתפשרת בדרך. מסר לסיום: המסע של אורן מלמד אותנו שיזמות היא דרך חיים מנטלית. היא דורשת מאיתנו לקחת אחריות על ההזדמנויות שלנו, להבין שהשיעורים הכי חשובים מגיעים לעיתים מאכזבות , ולזכור שהאנשים שאנחנו פוגשים בדרך – במיטאפ, במטבח או בבורד – הם אלו שהופכים את המסע הזה למשמעותי באמת.

Longtime friend Ken Loyd returns to Rumors of Doing Good to share a story that has stayed with him for nearly 45 years—about a man named Roy Rogers (not that Roy Rogers!), whose simple, quiet love changed a room and a life. In this conversation, Ken and Rob reflect on the small gestures that stay with us—the way someone looks at you when you speak, the warmth of a hand being held, the feeling of being seen without needing to perform. Ken remembers Roy not for eloquent words or impressive credentials, but for a love that was uncomplicated, sincere, and disarming. As Ken's own life and health have changed over time, he finds himself drawn more and more to that kind of simplicity: a faith made real in presence, tenderness, humor, and humanity. This episode is a reminder that: We are shaped by the ordinary moments. We are remembered for how we loved, not what we accomplished. And sometimes the simplest things are the most profound. Maybe the good life really is that simple.

It happens slowly. Then all at once. Small compromises. Quiet trade-offs. One day you wake up and realize your life, your leadership, or your organization has drifted from what it was supposed to be about. The mission that once drove everything is now just words on a wall.Peter Greer wrote the book on it — literally. In How Leaders Lose Their Way, he unpacks why drift is the default and what it takes to stay anchored. Peter is President & CEO of HOPE International and has spent years helping leaders finish well — personally and organizationally.In this conversation, we unpack:→ What personal and organizational drift actually looks like (and why it's so hard to spot)→ The difference between "resume virtues" and "eulogy virtues"→ Why Peter writes his eulogy every year — and how it recalibrates everything→ The dangers of success, speed, and isolation→ Why you need friends who love you enough to tell you the truth→ How good organizations lose their mission — and why growth can't be the ultimate goal→ Practical guardrails you can put in place this weekIf you want to finish well, this conversation will show you how to fight the current.—

Today, Bob 'n Joyce welcome Bernie Youngblood — a force of nature who brings passion, candor, and a deep sense of purpose to everything he touches. A self-described “accidental entrepreneur,” Bernie has launched eight companies, reinvented industries, and built a career anchored in one simple belief: doing good and doing well should go hand-in-hand. Bernie doesn't dodge hard questions. In fact, he runs straight at them. In this conversation, he challenges conventional thinking and offers a perspective that every leader — from scrappy founders to seasoned execs — needs to hear. We cover a wide terrain, including: • The biggest mistake startup CEOs make • Why the world needs more people willing to speak truth to power • Why it's never just about the money • How organizations can win by putting purpose, wellness, and culture first • The myth of scarcity • Staying hopeful in chaotic times Bernie is a provocateur in the best sense — someone who shakes people awake, pushes for better, and reminds us that leadership is ultimately about impact. Here we go. Come on in. Grab a snack. Welcome. About Our Guest Bernie Youngblood is an 8x founder, CEO, marketer, and change agent who helps organizations win by putting purpose, wellness, and culture at the center of their strategy. After starting his career in finance, Bernie found his true calling in sales, marketing, and entrepreneurship — leading national campaigns, driving corporate spin-offs, building startups from the ground up, and helping Fortune 500 companies rethink how they go to market. Today, he splits his time between two missions: transforming workplace wellness as Director of Partnerships at HOTLOGIC®, and leading ThinkPartners, a boutique firm that connects for-profits, nonprofits, and artist communities to ignite purpose-driven growth. He also hosts Unboxing the Office, a podcast exploring corporate culture with honesty and humor. Bernie's work is rooted in a simple conviction: thriving people build thriving companies.

Joyce talks about the anonymous donor who donated millions to cover the military through the government shutdown and how most people if given the opportunity to keep more of their resources would also be charitable. She talks about the attacks on ICE agents and lack of respect for law enforcement, Zahran Mamdani's chances of winning the New York Mayoral election, and more. Joe Kaufman joins the show to talk about his campaign for Congress, radical Muslim ideology gaining political power in western countries, and his success in shutting down a Muslim/Pro Hamas conference in Coral Springs. Derek from TMZ calls to talk about his college reunion, ICE protesters and difference view points, CBS News hiring Bari Weiss, Kim Kardashian Soon to be qualified attorney, deaths at Disney World, and the NBA gambling scandal.

Pamela Morsi's books were different than the typical historical romance of the time. Writing stories set in rural America, with poor or working class characters, Morsi was hailed as the “the Garrison Keillor of romance fiction,” by Publishers Weekly. When demand for the Americana subgenre waned after 2000, Morsi switched over to contemporary romance and women's fiction with 2002's Doing Good. She continued to write through 2014, publishing 29 books in her long career. She died this past December. Garters, published in 1993, is one of Morsi's most beloved books. Following Esme Crab, a poor hill girl who wants to marry up, and Cleavis Rhy, a storeowner with aspirations of being a gentleman, Garters is an unusual tale about class, love, and ambition that is goofy, tender, and at times heartbreaking.Support us on our Patreon!Visit our website for transcripts and show notes: reformedrakes.comFollow us on social media:Twitter: @reformedrakesInstagram: @reformedrakesBluesky: @reformedrakesBeth's SubstackChels' SubstackEmma's SubstackThank you for listening!

This week, we'll be studying Titus 2:1-15 under the theme “Doing Good for the Sake of the Gospel.” In this chapter, the Apostle Paul charges believers to live in a way that makes “the teaching about God our Savior attractive”—showing that when the gospel transforms our hearts, it also shapes our lives in a way that makes Christ beautiful to the world. Paul's instructions to older and younger men and women—even slaves—show that godly living isn't about mere morality, but mission. Our daily conduct testifies to the grace of Jesus, turning good works into a compelling witness for the gospel.Series Summary: Titus is Paul's no-nonsense blueprint for planting gospel-centered churches in hard places—starting with strong leadership and sound doctrine. Written to a young pastor on the wild island of Crete, this letter shows how truth and character shape a church's credibility in a corrupt culture. In this series, we'll dive into why healthy doctrine isn't just for theologians, and why godly leaders are essential for a church that wants to make a lasting impact.How can we pray for you? tinyurl.com/stmarcusprayersFill out our online connection card: tinyurl.com/stmarcusconnectcardIf you'd like to leave an offering or monetary donation to our ministry please click here: https://tinyurl.com/stmarcusgive
