What is faith made of? Many people believe they have saving faith, but the book of James challenges us to measure our faith by our actions. In this episode, Pastor Robert and his wife Carolyn unpack what true, biblical faith looks like, why actions must accompany belief, and how obedience reveals whether our faith is alive or dead.   One by One is the Podcast Ministry of Pastor Robert L.

#849 - Operating in Faith - Part 2, 8-31-2025 by The Water Hole

This week, Jake and Bob continue their series on athletics, and welcome Bart Schuchts, a former D1 football player, to the podcast. Bart reflects on how athletics shaped his self-identity, beliefs, and relationships from childhood through his adult life. They also discuss sports culture, fear based coaching, and the fine line between healthy competition and idolizing sports. Ultimately, when approached with balance and intention, athletics can foster deep connection, personal growth, and spiritual insight that extends far beyond the game itself, enriching every aspect of life.   Key Points: Athletic achievement is often tied to receiving love, affirmation, and attention in families, especially when there are older siblings who excel in sports. Sports can become an idol when one's entire sense of self-worth and identity is defined by performance and recognition. Sports teaches “conditional love,” when praise and acceptance are contingent on athletic success. A coach's coaching style can establish either a positive, formative atmosphere or contribute to wounding dynamics. The question “Am I lovable?” is often unconsciously brought to sports, and how one seeks to answer that can drive them to healthy mastery of athletics or unhealthy obsession. Healthy participation in sports fosters union and belonging. It also highlights both the best and worst ways we seek connection, love, and purpose.   Resources: Church on Fire (Bart's Website) Interview with Bart and Bobby Bowden Healing Professionals Virtual Workshop   Chapters: 00:00:00 Introduction 00:08:43 Sports in Bart's Life 00:10:44 Sports as an Idol 00:18:55 Finding Our Worth in Sports 00:28:38 The Good and Bad of Sports Culture 00:32:03 Dion Sanders and Work Ethic 00:33:39 Finding the Four Identities of a Human in Sports 00:34:58 Son vs Orphan 00:44:32 Brother 00:52:44 Husband 00:55:31 Father   Connect with Restore the Glory:  Instagram: @restoretheglorypodcast  Twitter: @RestoreGloryPod Facebook: Restore the Glory Podcast   Never miss out on an episode by hitting the subscribe button right now!

Real Faith (Part - A)Welcome to the Shan Kikon Audio Podcast & Sermon.Here you will find sermons to instruct, establish, equip, and release you to fulfil your full potential in Christ.

Sometimes our lives are interrupted by “Divine Detours” – times when God changes our plans, or even our life goals. Listen in as Pastor Kyle delves into how God redirected Abram and what we can learn and apply to our lives today.

First Presbyterian Church

Hebrews 12 reminds us that suffering is part of God's loving discipline -- part of His training program to help us to grow in faith and maturity. Early believers endured persecution with joy because they held an eternal perspective, knowing greater rewards awaited them in heaven. The writer urges us to look to Jesus, who endured the cross, as our model for perseverance. God's discipline, like that of a good father, proves that we belong to Him and shapes us to share in His holiness. Though painful in the moment, it produces peace and righteousness for those who endure. Our trials are opportunities to lean on God's strength, grow in dependence on Him, and prepare for eternal glory with Christ.

This week, Jake and Bob begin a series on athletics, diving into the profound ways sports intersect with faith. Today, they are joined by Dr. Nicole Gabana Chiesa, a sports psychologist and former collegiate athlete. Together they explore the beauty of sports and how they can shape one's identity, foster virtue, and offer opportunities for healing that extend far beyond the playing field. However, athletics present many challenges beyond just physical injury. They also discuss the dangers of over-identifying with athletic success or failure, the impact of parental and societal expectations, and emphasize the importance of rooting one's identity in God's unconditional love rather than achievements.    Key Points: Femininity and masculinity can both find authentic expression through sports Healthy competition in athletics can foster discipline, humility, perseverance, teamwork, and the pursuit of excellence. Sports also offer an opportunity to practice and learn delayed gratification, sacrifice, and adherence to rules which are virtues that lead to human flourishing Wounds can arise from sports through idolatry, performance culture, unhealthy comparison, or losing sight of the bigger story beyond the game Sports rules do not restrict, but rather create the possibility of freedom and meaningful play, much like God's laws facilitate human flourishing The identity of athletes can become overly tied to performance and success, leading to struggles or loss of self-worth when results or careers end Integrating faith and spirituality into sports helps athletes anchor their identity beyond achievement, rooting it in being a beloved child of God The desire for perfection seen in sports reflects a deeper call toward holiness and striving for spiritual growth Coaches and mentors play a significant, often formative, role in shaping not just athletic skills, but confidence, character, and motivation Playfulness and joy in sports are glimpses of the freedom and delight intended for us by God, paralleling receptivity in the spiritual life   Resources: Pax Perform Website Dr. Nicole Gabana Chiesa's email: paxperform@gmail.com Gaudium et Spes On the Christian perspective on sport and the human person, from the Dicastery for Laity, Family, and Life  Healing Professionals Virtual Workshop   Chapters: 00:00:00 Introduction 00:05:49 Integrating Sports, Psychology, and Faith 00:08:00 Nicole's Faith and Experience with Sports 00:17:06 Femininity and Athletics 00:20:51 Identity and Comparison in Sports 00:27:53 When Competition Becomes Unhealthy 00:32:14 Virtues of Sports 00:38:02 Personal Experiences of Virtue in Sports and Coaches 00:47:59 Rules, Sacrifice, and Community in Sports 00:51:28 Wounds and Dangers in Sports 00:54:43 Performance Culture and Identity Loss 00:58:16 Sports as Formation and Healing 01:11:25 Sports Draw Us Closer to God   Connect with Restore the Glory:  Instagram: @restoretheglorypodcast  Twitter: @RestoreGloryPod Facebook: Restore the Glory Podcast   Never miss out on an episode by hitting the subscribe button right now!
