Podcasts about Esteem

1 Listen, sons, to a father's instruction. Pay attention and know understanding; 2 for I give you sound learning. Don't forsake my law. 3 For I was a son to my father, tender and an only child in the sight of my mother. 4 He taught me, and said to me: "Let your heart retain my words. Keep my commandments, and live. 5 Get wisdom. Get understanding. Don't forget, and don't deviate from the words of my mouth. 6 Don't forsake her, and she will preserve you. Love her, and she will keep you. 7 Wisdom is supreme. Get wisdom. Yes, though it costs all your possessions, get understanding. 8 Esteem her, and she will exalt you. She will bring you to honor when you embrace her. 9 She will give to your head a garland of grace. She will deliver a crown of splendor to you." 10 Listen, my son, and receive my sayings. The years of your life will be many. 11 I have taught you in the way of wisdom. I have led you in straight paths. 12 When you go, your steps will not be hampered. When you run, you will not stumble. 13 Take firm hold of instruction. Don't let her go. Keep her, for she is your life. 14 Don't enter into the path of the wicked. Don't walk in the way of evil men. 15 Avoid it, and don't pass by it. Turn from it, and pass on. 16 For they don't sleep unless they do evil. Their sleep is taken away, unless they make someone fall. 17 For they eat the bread of wickedness and drink the wine of violence. 18 But the path of the righteous is like the dawning light that shines more and more until the perfect day. 19 The way of the wicked is like darkness. They don't know what they stumble over. 20 My son, attend to my words. Turn your ear to my sayings. 21 Let them not depart from your eyes. Keep them in the center of your heart. 22 For they are life to those who find them, and health to their whole body. 23 Keep your heart with all diligence, for out of it is the wellspring of life. 24 Put away from yourself a perverse mouth. Put corrupt lips far from you. 25 Let your eyes look straight ahead. Fix your gaze directly before you. 26 Make the path of your feet level. Let all of your ways be established. 27 Don't turn to the right hand nor to the left. Remove your foot from evil. Listen Donate Subscribe: Proverbs Daily Podcast Psalms Daily Podcast

This episode goes for both immature men and women, because they think, feel, and act in similiar and immature ways. Stop expecting people to conduct themselves as mature when they are broken and lack mental maturity. It's all about the mindset! The problem is so many people are broken and because of it they embrace negativity and foolishless but they too are immature people. There are immature men and women in every single group/race! Unhealed people love and relish in negativity/bad news/gossip, etc. One major and important thing that is indeed free, but most people don't want, is the truth!Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/relationships-and-relatable-life-chronicles--4126439/support.

Send us a textIn this episode of the Autonomic Homeostasis Activation Podcast, Tom Pals and Ruth Lorensson continue their exploration of Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs through the lens of wellness and trauma-informed wholeness. Focusing on esteem, they unpack what it truly means to “appraise” value—both in ourselves and in others—and how unmet needs and trauma can distort our perception of worth and significance.Through rich conversation and powerful metaphors—like Tom's image of humans as uncut diamonds—they reveal how esteem isn't about hierarchy or status, but about mutual recognition of inherent worth. Together, they examine how physiological, safety, and belonging needs act as catalysts for healthy esteem, and how unmet needs can keep us stuck in cycles of comparison, defensiveness, or exclusion.Listeners will come away with deeper insight into:The roots of esteem as appraisal rather than judgmentHow trauma and unmet needs shape our ability to value ourselves and othersThe difference between worth, significance, and accomplishmentHow to move from sympathetic fight-or-flight into parasympathetic homeostasisPractical reflection prompts for fostering self-worth and mutual significanceJoin Ruth and Tom as they guide listeners toward restoring homeostasis of esteem, a crucial step in the broader journey toward self-actualization and holistic wellness.

In this month's Author Talk, I chat with local filmmaker and first-time author Debbie McGee about her powerful memoir of love and loss, Cautiously Pessimistic -- as well as about why she was initially reluctant to admit that she was writing a memoir. As always, we talk about the writing life as well as the reading life, including the dangers of listening to audiobooks while doing home renovations.

Paul instructs us to place the needs of others above our own, pointing us to the perfect example, Jesus, who humbled Himself for our sake. In this teaching, Pastor Kenneth takes us through Philippians 2 from verse 1 to 16 and we learnt how to esteem others above ourselves.

The sermon emphasizes the importance of honoring and supporting leaders, particularly those who boldly proclaim the Gospel, drawing parallels to the recent events surrounding Charlie Kirk and the broader context of Christian faithfulness. It underscores the necessity of biblical literacy, expository preaching, and trusting God's will, even amidst challenging circumstances and political division. The message calls for Christians to actively engage in warning the unrepentant, comforting the weak, and demonstrating patience toward all, ultimately striving for good in a world increasingly marked by evil, while affirming the enduring truth and power of God's Word.

In this episode of the Art of the Session series, I explore the final pillar of Child-Centered Play Therapy—Encouragement, with a bonus deep-dive into esteem-building responses. I explain why encouragement is so much more than just a phrase we say—it's a transformative tool that helps children build internal confidence, resilience, and a stronger sense of self-worth. You'll learn how this skill contributes directly to one of our universal outcomes: increased self-esteem. We also unpack the critical difference between encouragement and praise—why one empowers while the other creates dependency on external validation. I share practical examples of what encouragement sounds like in the playroom and how to pair it with esteem-building language to reinforce a child's sense of capability. If you've ever struggled to reframe your language from praise to encouragement, this episode gives you a clear path forward. It's one of the most powerful skills we can use as CCPT therapists—and one that can truly change a child's internal narrative. PlayTherapyNow.com is my HUB for everything I do! playtherapynow.com.

Their sleep is taken away, unless they make someone fall. 17 For they eat the bread of wickedness and drink the wine of violence. 18 But the path of the righteous is like the dawning light that shines more and more until the perfect day. 19 The way of the wicked is like darkness. They don't know what they stumble over. 20 My son, attend to my words. Turn your ear to my sayings. 21 Let them not depart from your eyes. Keep them in the center of your heart. 22 For they are life to those who find them, and health to their whole body. 23 Keep your heart with all diligence, for out of it is the wellspring of life. 24 Put away from yourself a perverse mouth.

United with Christ. This is where true identity begins. In a world that defines worth by appearance, achievement, and approval, how do we discover who we really are? Our value comes from being with Christ. We are not what we do or what others say; we are richly blessed, deeply loved, and fully forgiven. This is the identity that lasts. God has spoken. His word is clear. Why search for worth anywhere else?  Message based on Ephesians 1:1-8Quotes:A.W. Tozer: What comes into our minds when we think about God is the most important thing about us.John Neesley: United with Christ, I am a richly blessed child of God.Benjamin Warfield: When you use the name Redeemer, it's the name specifically of the Christ of the cross. Whenever we pronounce it, the cross is postered or placarded before our eyes. And our eyes are filled with loving remembrance that not only that Christ has given us salvation, but he paid a mighty price for it.To discover more messages of hope go to tallowood.org/sermons/.Follow us on Instagram, X, and YouTube @tallowoodbc.Follow us on FaceBook @tallowoodbaptist

1 Listen, sons, to a father's instruction. Pay attention and know understanding; 2 for I give you sound learning. Don't forsake my law. 3 For I was a son to my father, tender and an only child in the sight of my mother. 4 He taught me, and said to me: "Let your heart retain my words. Keep my commandments, and live. 5 Get wisdom. Get understanding. Don't forget, and don't deviate from the words of my mouth. 6 Don't forsake her, and she will preserve you. Love her, and she will keep you. 7 Wisdom is supreme. Get wisdom. Yes, though it costs all your possessions, get understanding. 8 Esteem her, and she will exalt you. She will bring you to honor when you embrace her. 9 She will give to your head a garland of grace. She will deliver a crown of splendor to you." 10 Listen, my son, and receive my sayings. The years of your life will be many. 11 I have taught you in the way of wisdom. I have led you in straight paths. 12 When you go, your steps will not be hampered. When you run, you will not stumble. 13 Take firm hold of instruction. Don't let her go. Keep her, for she is your life. 14 Don't enter into the path of the wicked.

In this message from Acts 5:12–16, we witness the Spirit of God moving powerfully through the early church—healing the sick, drawing multitudes to faith, and validating the message of Jesus. Pastor Jamie reflects on what it means to believe God still works today, calling us to pray boldly for His power—not to control the means, but to seek His presence and proclaim Christ with faith.

LESSON 129Beyond This World There Is A World I Want.This is the thought that follows from the one we practiced yesterday. You cannot stop with the idea the world is worthless, for unless you see that there is something else to hope for, you will only be depressed. Our emphasis is not on giving up the world, but on exchanging it for what is far more satisfying, filled with joy, and capable of offering you peace. Think you this world can offer that to you?It might be worth a little time to think once more about the value of this world. Perhaps you will concede there is no loss in letting go all thought of value here. The world you see is merciless indeed, unstable, cruel, unconcerned with you, quick to avenge and pitiless with hate. It gives but to rescind, and takes away all things that you have cherished for a while. No lasting love is found, for none is here. This is the world of time, where all things end.Is it a loss to find a world instead where losing is impossible; where love endures forever, hate cannot exist and vengeance has no meaning? Is it loss to find all things you really want, and know they have no ending and they will remain exactly as you want them throughout time? Yet even they will be exchanged at last for what we cannot speak of, for you go from there to where words fail entirely, into a silence where the language is unspoken and yet surely understood.Communication, unambiguous and plain as day, remains unlimited for all eternity. And God Himself speaks to His Son, as His Son speaks to Him. Their language has no words, for what They say cannot be symbolized. Their knowledge is direct and wholly shared and wholly one. How far away from this are you who stay bound to this world. And yet how near are you, when you exchange it for the world you want.Now is the last step certain; now you stand an instant's space away from timelessness. Here can you but look forward, never back to see again the world you do not want. Here is the world that comes to take its place, as you unbind your mind from little things the world sets forth to keep you prisoner. Value them not, and they will disappear. Esteem them, and they will seem real to you.Such is the choice. What loss can be for you in choosing not to value nothingness? This world holds nothing that you really want, but what you choose instead you want indeed! Let it be given you today. It waits but for your choosing it, to take the place of all the things you seek but do not want.Practice your willingness to make this change ten minutes in the morning and at night, and once more in between. Begin with this:Beyond this world there is a world I want.I choose to see that world instead of this, for here is nothing that I really want.Then close your eyes upon the world you see, and in the silent darkness watch the lights that are not of this world light one by one, until where one begins another ends loses all meaning as they blend in one.Today the lights of Heaven bend to you, to shine upon your eyelids as you rest beyond the world of darkness. Here is light your eyes cannot behold. And yet your mind can see it plainly, and can understand. A day of grace is given you today, and we give thanks. This day we realize that what you feared to lose was only loss.Now do we understand there is no loss. For we have seen its opposite at last, and we are grateful that the choice is made. Remember your decision hourly, and take a moment to confirm your choice by laying by whatever thoughts you have, and dwelling briefly only upon this:The world I see holds nothing that I want.Beyond this world there is a world I want.- Jesus Christ in ACIM

Every woman has something that's tearing away at her esteem —a part they wish they could change. Many of us struggle with internal battles, feeling defined by societal perceptions of beauty or worth. In his message, The Noblewoman Era, Dr. Gabe draws from the biblical story of Leah and Rachel, illustrating how societal and internal pressures can shape—even skew—our self-worth. Leah, often overshadowed by Rachel's beauty, teaches us that our perceived imperfections do not define our potential.Support the showText encounteratl to 94000 to stay up-to-date on all things Encounter.Worship with EncounterSundays at 9 AM ET | Wednesdays at 7:30 PM ETSupport EncounterText egive to 77977 Connect with EncounterFacebook | Instagram | TikTok | YouTube | WebsiteConnect with Dr. GabeInstagram | YouTube | Website

Your best life is built sequentially, one level at a time. Forget the elevator, climb all the stairs to the top, and you'll have lasting success. In 1954, Abraham Maslow released Motivation and Personality. His Hierarchy of needs theory is all about climbing to the top. Maslow suggested that to reach your full potential: 1) You must provide for your physiological needs: food, clothing, shelter, money, and more.   2) You must feel safe. Personally, emotionally, financially, with health and well-being, and against accidents and illness. 3) Socially you need to feel a sense of loving and belonging.  4) Esteem and the desire for acceptance, respect, and value by others is your next step. Maslow said, “What a man can be, he must be.” Self-actualization requires mastery of your previous needs. 5) Self-transcendence removes you from ego and begins your focus on the greater good.
