Podcasts about Faithfully

In a society where quick fixes and instant gratification dominate, are we settling for the same thing in our approach to sermons? In this episode, Pastor Mike Chaddick invites us to move beyond “fast food preaching” toward preparing and serving meals that are both desirable and deeply nourishing.Recorded live at the Expositors Collective training event in Pleasanton, CA (May 2024), Mike unpacks the inductive Bible study method through its three steps: observation, interpretation, and application. He shows how careful attention to language, grammar, genre, and historical setting equips preachers and Bible teachers to handle the text responsibly and preach with gospel-centred conviction.Listeners will also benefit from Mike's practical encouragement to use multiple translations, ask questions on behalf of their audience, and keep the good news of Jesus at the heart of every message. Whether you're preparing your first Bible study or refining your preaching after decades of experience, this session offers a simple yet profound roadmap for teaching God's Word faithfully.About Mike ChaddickPastor Mike Chaddick is the senior pastor of Image Church in San Juan Capistrano, CA, and a regular contributor to the live radio show Pastors Perspective on KWAVE 107.9FM.

A follow up address from Pastor Josh on how believers can faithfully navigate this cultural moment.   Three Main Points: 1. Acknowledge the grief of living in a broken world. 2. Recognize that we must faithfully engage the culture. 3. Begin to engage each other with humility.   Six Principles for Cultural Engagement: 1. We are to seek the peace of Babylon. (Jeremiah 29) 2. We are called to embody the gospel, not just recite it. 3. We have to engage in humility even in hostile places (Acts 17) 4. Remember we are engaging with the spiritually blind. 5. The world hates Jesus; therefore, it will hate us. (John 15:18) 6. What Satan meant for evil, God will work for good. (Genesis 50:20, Romans 8:28)   Word of Exhortation for the Church: 1. Words can murder; don't let your words turn to bullets. 2. Judgmental expectations are divisive. 3. Jesus must increase and we must decrease; HE unifies his church. 4. Jesus must be the flame of revival.

Professor Abdullah Alkadi shares the remarkable story of Al-Qaswāʾ, the beloved she-camel of the Prophet Muhammad. ﷺ Faithfully accompanying the Prophet across the Hijaz, the western region of the Arabian Peninsula, Al-Qaswāʾ is mentioned numerous times in hadith literature, from the Hijrah to the Farewell Hajj. Joining Professor Alkadi for an engaging discussion is Shaykh Hamza Yusuf, President of Zaytuna College, California. Together, they will explore the Islamic emphasis on compassion, care, and the ethical treatment of animals, hallmarks of a faith grounded in mercy. Drawing on decades of research into the Hijrah Route, the Way of the Prophets, and the Farewell Hajj, Professor Alkadi observed a striking detail: alongside the Prophet and his Companions at key moments, Al-Qaswāʾ was also present. More than a means of transport, she was a silent witness to revelation, an emblem of loyalty and grace. This heartwarming account uncovers a story many have yet to hear, filled with well-sourced anecdotes that reflect the compassion and spiritual depth of Islam.

In this episode of Youth Ministry Unscripted, Isaiah, Josh, and Danny get honest about the quiet discouragement youth leaders often carry– when the seats are empty, the students are disengaged, and the fruit just isn't showing up the way you hoped for. Together, they explore what it looks like to stay faithful, how to redefine “success” in kingdom terms, and why unseen obedience still matters deeply to God.Advice to My Younger Self in Youth Ministry—20 Years Later by Steve EatmonHow Gospel-Centrality Prioritizes Long-Term Fruit in Youth Ministry by Michael GoldsteinCheck out our Youth Ministry Training Courses for extra encouragement and resources!Follow @therootedministry on Instagram for more updates!Follow and subscribe to Youth Ministry Unscripted wherever you listen to podcasts.Join us at the Rooted 2025 Conference!

From Sunday 7 September 2025, Brent Thornton has a message from the book of 2 Chronicles titled "Finishing Faithfully" 2 Chronicles 14-16fbcmw.org

In this sermon, Pastor Jared unpacks what every believer needs for their faith to endure. Drawing from the Apostle Paul's words to Timothy, we are challenged to faithfully apply this same wisdom in our lives today.

Today's Promise: 1 Thessalonians 5:24 When He makes a promise, He keeps it. When He entered into a covenant with His people, He kept it. God is faithful to accomplish His Word in your life. God never teases you. He doesn't place a call in your life and then refuses to bring it about. No matter what God has called you to do, He will be faithful to accomplish it in your life. What is the call God has placed in your life? Are you allowing Him to do it? Are you releasing your life into the faithful hands of God?

August 31, 2025 We need to bear the disgrace that comes from following Christ. We need to believe God’s promises in dark times. People of faith are those who trust in the sacrifice of Christ on the cross, and show that faith in their obedience. Scripture: Hebrews 13:1-16

If you're a fan of classic rock, there's no escaping the unmistakable sound of Neal Schon, the legendary guitarist and founding member of Journey. With a career spanning over five decades, Schon's soaring guitar solos, emotional phrasing, and rock-solid riffs have helped define generations of music fans. From his early days with Santana to global superstardom with Journey and beyond, Neal Schon remains one of the most respected and enduring figures in the world of rock and roll.Born in Oklahoma and raised in the San Francisco Bay Area, Neal Schon was surrounded by music from day one. His father was a jazz saxophonist, his mother a singer — so it was no surprise when Neal picked up the guitar at just 10 years old. By the time he hit his teens, he was playing with the kind of precision and passion most guitarists spend decades trying to master.At 15, Neal made rock history by joining ⁠Santana⁠, turning down an audition with Eric Clapton's Derek and the Dominos to do so. Neal's work introduced him to the world and shaped his unique blend of Latin-infused rock, blues, and jazz.In '73, Neal and keyboardist Gregg Rolie left Santana to form a new band — one that would later become the rock giant ⁠Journey.⁠ Originally intended as a jazz-fusion group, Journey's early albums were adventurous and musically rich. Success came in '77 when Steve Perry joined the band. His soaring vocals paired perfectly with Neal's melodic guitar work, and Journey's sound found its sweet spot: catchy, emotional, stadium-ready rock anthems. Neal's riffs and solos became the soundtrack of a generation. The album Escape alone went 9x Platinum and featured some of the band's biggest hits — including that eternal anthem.Of all the songs Neal has ever recorded, Don't Stop Believin' remains the crown jewel. It has become one of the most instantly recognisable songs in rock history. It took on a second life in the 2000s thanks to The Sopranos finale, Glee, and a million karaoke bars around the world.Today, Don't Stop Believin' is the most downloaded digital song of the 20th century. While Journey was (and is) Neal's main gig, he's never stopped exploring musically. In the mid-'80s, he formed bands with Sammy Hagar and later with John Waite and Journey's Jonathan Cain.Journey has seen its share of lineup changes, but Neal Schon has always been its heart and soul. Whether alongside Steve Perry, Steve Augeri, or Arnel Pineda, Neal's guitar has anchored the band's sound and kept fans coming back for more.Journey released Freedom in 2022, their first album of all-new material in over a decade. 2023 marked Journey's 50th anniversary, and Neal celebrated in style. The band embarked on their Freedom Tour, playing to sold-out arenas around the globe. Fans from every generation came out to hear the hits — and see Schon light up the stage with his signature Les Paul and fiery solos.As of 2025, Neal Schon is still touring, still recording, and still pushing himself as a player. Whether he's performing Journey classics, exploring new musical territory, or collaborating with old friends, he remains a true rock icon. With over 50 years in the industry, millions of records sold, and a legacy that spans generations, Neal Schon isn't just part of rock history — he is rock history.So next time you hear that soaring solo in Faithfully, that chugging riff in Any Way You Want It, or the unforgettable opening of Don't Stop Believin', tip your hat to Neal Schon — the guitar legend who made it all sing.

What if growing older wasn't about slowing down, but stepping up in bold faith? In this final episode of Start Strong, Run Hard, Finish Well, we draw inspiration from Caleb in Joshua 14—who at 85 was still ready to take on giants, trusting God fully.Brody challenges the idea that aging means retreat and explores how to finish life with purpose, gratitude, and courage—no matter your age. Whether you're 25 or 85, you'll find practical wisdom for living with intention, building intergenerational community, rejecting comfort as your goal, and staying focused on the race God has set before you.If you're still here, God's not done with you yet. Keep running. Finish strong. Hear “Well done.”Joshua 14Send us a textPlease leave a review on Apple or Spotify to help improve No Sanity Required and help others grow in their faith.

The Old Testament can feel daunting to preach, but it's an essential part of the story we're called to tell. Many pastors avoid preaching texts of violence, trauma, and grief but what if these difficult texts are exactly what our churches need to hear? In this conversation, Old Testament scholar and Anglican priest Dr. Lissa Wray Beal offers a thoughtful and deeply encouraging guide for engaging the harder parts of Scripture. Drawing from her current writing on the book of Jeremiah and her years of pastoral ministry and academic scholarship, Lissa makes the case that these ancient texts are essential for helping congregations find language in time of suffering and struggle.Together Lissa and Jason explore: - Preaching texts of trauma with both theological clarity and pastoral care, especially in communities shaped by grief, abuse, or injustice,- Finding solidarity with Jeremiah as a model for faithful ministry in seasons of exhaustion, obscurity, or rejection,- Navigating denominational shifts with humility, theological conviction, and an openness to the diverse expressions of the Church,- Recovering the Psalms as vital resources for congregational prayer, especially in times of cultural and spiritual disorientation,- Rethinking the future of seminaries: the importance of embodied formation, theological depth, and renewed partnership with the Church.Lissa is thoughtful and pastoral, blending scholarly depth with real-world insight. This is a thoughtful conversation about formation in the word, pastoral faithfulness, and the steady grace of God in the complexity of everyday life.Show NotesLissa Wray Beal's PublicationsThe Pastorate Listener SurveyFall 2025 Pastors Retreat at Barnabas LandingSupport the Work of The PastorateThe work of strengthening pastors across Canada is only possible because of generous partners like you.
