Podcasts about Fame

(This podcast was previously recorded and published on August 11, 2020)   Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ...    We cannot pursue fame, money and reputation among men and serve God. The only way we can be a servant of God is to do that which God tells us to do which is opposite to the way of this world.   But our flesh wants fame, money and reputation.   So there is a battle.   How do we overcome our own flesh?   This is the story of this Podcast.   ==   I John 5:14-15  And this is the confidence that we have in HIM, that, if we ask any thing according to HIS will, HE heareth us:   15 And if we know that HE hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of HIM.     Matthew 4:8-11  Again, the devil taketh HIM (Jesus) up into an exceeding high mountain, and sheweth HIM all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them;   9 And saith unto HIM, All these things will I give THEE, if THOU wilt fall down and worship me.   10 Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and HIM only shalt thou serve.   11 Then the devil leaveth HIM, and, behold, angels came and ministered unto HIM.     2 Thessalonians 2:3-4   Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day (of the Lord) shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; 4  Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.     1 John 2:18   Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time.     2 Thessalonians 2:6-8 (NASB)   And you know what restrains him now, so that he will be revealed in his time.    7 For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work; only HE (Jesus, the Word) who now restrains will do so until HE (Jesus, the Word) is removed.    8 Then that lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord will eliminate with the breath of HIS mouth and bring to an end by the appearance of His coming;     Titus 3:10-11   A man that is an heretick after the first and second admonition reject;   11 Knowing that he that is such is subverted, and sinneth, being condemned of himself.     Philippians 4:13   I can do all things through Christ (the Word) which strengtheneth me.    

Scripture: 1 Samuel 18. Today we look at the cost of fame, the discouragement of injustice, and we will see what we can learn from David on how to navigate through them. In our text we read of David's progression of fame. He was a natural leader, a brilliant tactician, and widely acclaimed for his accomplishments. While David increased in popularity, Saul became very angry and he began to keep his eyes on David.  Saul saw David as a threat to his throne and begins to want David killed, even throwing his own spear at him several times - but David escapes. David is an honorable man and refuses to retaliate by attacking Saul because he knows that Saul is the currently anointed King. (David has been anointed to be the next king, but he knows God is in charge of that timing so honors God's current choice of king by not retaliating against him.)  Saul sends David away on warrior campaigns hoping David might be killed, yet David continues to be successful. With David's continued success in leading the Israelites so skillfully in battle and his acclaim continuing to grow, Saul becomes afraid of David. What we see is David's fame increases as he navigates the perils of fame. How did God enable David to cope, thrive and survive the fame with people and the injustice from Saul? A look at David's Character:     ⁃    David trusted in the Lord above all else. He trusted in the Lord and not in himself, not in his own abilities or his own insights. David did what Proverbs 3:5-6 tells us, “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding, in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.”     ⁃    David was courageous because his courage came from God. David knew what the scriptures say, “Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the Lord your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you.”     ⁃    David was patient and did not act rashly or try to take matters into his own hands. He knew he was the Lord's newly anointed king but he did not usurp that authority. Rather he remained patient in waiting for God's timing. Psalm 27:14 “Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord.”     ⁃    HOWEVER! David WAS a sinner like all of us. Jesus is our Savior. We are not saved because of anything we've done, but rather we are saved because of everything that Jesus has done!! Philippians 5:8 tells us that Jesus, “being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to death—even death on a cross!” David is a great hero, but Jesus is our Savior!! We not only have forgiveness and eternal life through Jesus, but we have the strength to live our lives each day with purpose and with profound impact by relying on Him alone! Now What?

In this episode, our host Kevin Thompson talks with Jim “Soni” Sonefeld, drummer of the legendary band Hootie & the Blowfish. Jim shares how he went from chasing dreams on the soccer field to becoming part of one of the top-selling rock bands of all time. As the songwriter behind hits like “Hold My Hand”, Jim helped launch Hootie & the Blowfish into worldwide fame with their debut album Cracked Rear View, which became the 9th best-selling album in U.S. history. Jim opens up about his personal battles with alcohol addiction and how he found hope, healing, and a new purpose through faith and recovery. Today, as he gears up to release his fourth EP Remember Tomorrow and his memoir Swimming With The Blowfish: Hootie, Healing, and One Hell of a Ride, Jim reflects on the relationships that carried him through it all—his family, his bandmates, mentors, and community. This conversation is a real look at humility, growth, and why trying to do it all alone is never the answer.   [00:01 - 07:00] The Power of Being Connected • Jim and Kevin connected through their friend Jeremiah. • Trusting mutual relationships can open doors you never expect. • Jim shares why slowing down and being grateful changes everything.

[21:01 - 32:00] Joining Hootie & the Blowfish • Jim found his way into Hootie & the Blowfish in college. • They hustled like entrepreneurs, touring with little money but big dreams. • Everything changed after David Letterman heard “Hold My Hand.” [32:01 - 39:00] The Struggles Behind the Fame • Sudden fame brought tours and millions of albums sold. • But Jim wasn't prepared and leaned harder on alcohol to cope. • Eventually, he realized he needed help and couldn't keep hiding. [39:01 - 51:00] Finding Recovery and Giving Back • A 12-step program and honest friends helped him heal. • Jim learned to let go of what he couldn't control in life and music. • Now at 60, he tours again with deep gratitude for a second chance.

We're celebrating our 10th anniversary all year by digging in the vaults to re-present classic episodes with fresh commentary. Today, we're revisiting our 2016 conversation with Mike Stoller. ABOUT MIKE STOLLERMike Stoller has written more than 60 songs that have appeared on the Billboard charts, including the #1 hits “Hound Dog,” “Kansas City,” “Yakety Yak,”  “Searchin',” “Jailhouse Rock,” “Poison Ivy,” “Stand By Me,” “Young Blood,” “Don't,” and “Ruby, Baby." After Stoller and songwriting partner Jerry Leiber found early R&B success with recordings by Little Esther, Charles Brown, Ray Charles, and Big Mama Thornton, Elvis Presley turned their song "Hound Dog" into a #1 single on the pop, R&B, and country charts in 1956. Elvis went on to record more than 20 Leiber and Stoller titles, including the hits "Love Me," "Loving You," "Jailhouse Rock," "Treat Me Nice," "She's Not You," and "Bossa Nova Baby." Mike and Jerry signed an independent production deal with Atlantic Records in the mid-1950s, where they wrote and produced a series of hits for several artists, including the Drifters' "There Goes My Baby," "Dance With Me," and "On Broadway." Additionally, the pair wrote and produced all the Coasters' singles, including "Young Blood," "Searchin'," "Charlie Brown," "Along Came Jones," and "Poison Ivy." Other highlights from the Leiber and Stoller songbook include "Love Potion No. 9," which was a hit for both the Clovers and the Searchers, and "Is That All There Is," which was a hit for Peggy Lee. Eleven different versions of their song “Stand By Me” appeared on the Billboard charts over the span of 50 years, with the original version by Ben E. King hitting the Top 10 in both 1961 and 1986. Smokey Joe's Cafe, which included 40 Leiber and Stoller songs, opened in 1995 and became the longest running musical revue in Broadway history. Stoller received the prestigious ASCAP Founders Award in 1991, has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, and is a member of both the Songwriters Hall of Fame and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

 1.) The most important aspect of Feng Shui is to create a cozy home where you feel relaxed and positive. 2.) To give us an advance for what we attract… And that is crucial for our life.The Chinese emperors have applied Feng Sui for 3000 years to gain:1.) Power, Career. 2.) Fame, recognition.3.) Wealth, money (Tip at the end).4.) Health.5.) Happiness. 6.) Better love relationship.7.) Creativity.8.) Get help.9.) Better Family Life.and it worked and works…Who wonders that Mao Zedong, the modern Singapore founder Lee Kuan Yew, the Hong Kong presidents, mainly all Real Estate Gurus are Feng Shui lovers, for sure also Trump. Hong Kong and Singapore are shaped by Feng Shui… Compare that with Kuala Lumpur, Manila, and Bangkok… Feng Shui is not a belief but a very complex system… If you don't believe that, the famous Master Han Feng Shui gives you for free all of his lectures… That is the best way to get totally confused… I recommend the books: “Feng Shui that makes sense” and “Clear your Clutter with Feng Shui”.The USA has created their own Feng Shui (Black Sect Tantric Buddhism Feng Shui) that is simplified and a reduced system that might not work… Because the American system ignores the cardinal points and can get through that the opposite effects that were desired…  For us is Form Feng Shui and the Compass Feng Shui the best…If we want to go further get a Feng Shui expert… If we start with our living place, we first get rid of all the clutter and junk otherwise Feng Shui can't work. Psychology has approved the rules of Feng Shui. What is inside is outside… If your living place is a mess, then you have a mess already inside of yourself…If everything is crammed in your House, then you are full of thoughts, worries… Get space…When a house buyer wants to buy a house, in the first 20 seconds, he decides even he has seen the house only from outside… And here starts the Feng Shui …. Outside is more important than inside… If your business depends on walk-in Customer, then Feng Shui is a must!!!Feng Shui doesn't like sharp corners because it can hurt,- our subconsciousness doesn't feel so protected… Everything should be organic and with round edges.If you sit behind a desk, the best is always that a wall is behind you and that you can see the entrance… Guess what happens when you take a table in an empty restaurant… do you choose the table in the middle?Tip to gain more money:For gathering more wealth/money, try out an indoor/outdoor fountain in the South East of your home/premise. Or if not possible, position the indoor fountain in the angel 45% left of the main entrance… Don't place a fountain in the sleeping room…I have started with Feng Shui, and it works well for me. My only regret is, why didn't I have started with Feng Shui earlier? My Video: For what is Feng Shui good? https://youtu.be/k5SQ_vB1Iw8My Audio: https://divinesuccess.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/Podcast.B/For-what-is-Feng-Shui-good.mp3

This conversation with Roseanne Barr was exactly what I hoped it would be—real, unfiltered, and a little bit wild in the best way. We talked about her childhood in Salt Lake City, the moment she says God told her she'd have her own show when she was just three, and how that early vision shaped her entire worldview. She opened up about her rise in stand-up comedy, what it really took to get Roseanne on the air, and the battles she fought for creative control. But she didn't shy away from the hardest parts: the tweet that blew up her career, the accusations of racism, the fallout from being “canceled,” and how she sees media and politics today. Roseanne is blunt, sometimes controversial, but always raw and honest. She shared how she's rebuilt her life, why she still believes in pushing boundaries with comedy, and what matters most to her now—her family, her grandkids, and her personal freedom. If you think you know Roseanne Barr, this conversation might surprise you.

Annie Scherer merges her love of rock ‘n roll classics with her passion for alternative music to produce her own unique sound. Her evocative lyrics and haunting melodies have been heard live from New York to Tennessee.  In May 2025, Annie had the honor of performing at the 40th Annual Harvard Mayfair in the heart of Harvard University. She also celebrated her Chinese American heritage with her performance at the CMP gala in New York, NY and the Boston International Asian Music Festival. Annie is currently gearing up to release her EP this fall.  In 2023, Annie was the runner-up in Lightning 100's Music City Mayhem competition in Nashville, which had 430+ entries. The finale included a performance at 3rd & Lindsley, where the five remaining artists battled it out live. First and second place were determined by voters and judges, including some of Nashville's top music industry members. Following the competition, Annie performed at the annual festival series, Musician's Corner in Nashville. She played the festival again on the main stage in 2024. Annie's single, "Everywhere I Go (Everybody's the Same)" earned her the #1 spot on aBreak Music, the number one music platform for independent artists, in August 2023. The song was aired internationally via iHeart Radio, and received press coverage throughout the nation.  Annie released her first full-length album “Garden Bed” in March 2021. The album features previously released singles, "Andy Warhol," "Take Me Places," and "After Rain," along with six brand new tracks. Annie wrote and produced all the songs. Garden Bed showcases her skills as a composer and multi-instrumentalist, performing the trumpet, piano, guitar, and ukulele, while arranging string quartet scores for songs like "Kaleidoscope" and "Ashamed." The album was widely praised by American Songwriters, the Times Union in Albany, NY, and NYS Music. A month after its release, Annie was voted the best local musician in New York's Capital Region according to readers of the Times Union.  In 2020, three of Annie's songs, including "Kaleidoscope," "After Rain," and "Roses and Lies" received honorable mentions at the international and notable songwriting competition, SongDoor. "After Rain" was selected for special recognition. Annie was awarded the 2018 Producer's Choice for the 'Celebration of Music' PBS special in Troy, NY, hosted by Ethan Bortnick. She won a trip to LA where she was taped performing "Andy Warhol."    Annie's musical career began at age six, when she started classical piano lessons. She devoted 12 years to classical performance. At seven, she wrote her first song, a holiday tune that she sang for a two-person audience: her mom and music teacher. By age 12, Annie had taught herself guitar, and started gigging and writing more seriously.  In addition to her musical aspirations, she is a visual artist and practices with charcoal portraits. She is also a fashion model with Rune Models.Listen in as we discuss Annie's  journey and her new music.

Amazon is working on finding the right man to play the iconic James Bond character, and they are taking their sweet time. They're also in the process of finding the perfect Bond girl to accompany the legendary spy in his endeavors. Beyoncè had a little car accident at one of her shows in Houston the other day. While it wasn't a real car it was still a scary thing for her and the fans to witness. Secret Lives of Mormon Wives had their first ever reunion the other day. While some of it was a little lackluster, there were some parts that were juicy and many others that were pretty deep hit on very important topics. Demi was not in attendance but she still made an appearance via pre recorded interview. It's still unclear how most of the women feel about each other. One day they hate one another and the next they are filming funny Tik Toks and laughing. Like Cardi B once said, "What was the reason!?" We might be getting a summer banger (no pun intended) from Miley and Selena, former Disney darlings. A list of stars has been released who are set to receive their stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Miley, Demi Moore, Gordon Ramsay and Shaq are all set to get finally get their stars cemented into the streets of Hollywood. Jurassic World Rebirth has officially been released and I have now seen it twice. Some say it didn't live up to the hype but I don't mind. As long as I get to see Scarlett and Johnathan on the big screen then I'll be a happy boy. Thanks for listening!

In this sermon, Jeremy Drake discusses the importance of recognizing God's presence in our successes, warning against the dangers of pride and idolatry that can accompany achievement. He emphasizes the need for humility, stewardship, and the call to share the blessings of salvation with others.

Fame, riches, approval, and more—chasing after these only leaves us empty and restless.The Book of Hebrews presents us with something better, and Someone greater to look to—to place all our hope, faith, and being into. Jesus is greater than anything or anyone else we could ever think of. Yet no matter how immensely superior He is to all, this same God still chooses to personally draw Himself closer to us, the same way that He did on the cross.

Justin Bieber BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Justin Bieber has unmistakably re-entered the global pop culture conversation over the past few days and not just because of his music. After an extended period of relative quiet, Bieber reignited buzz with a series of cryptic Instagram posts, most notably a shirtless studio snap captioned simply “17” and a dramatic username change to @lilbieber, which many interpret as a signal he's ready to tap into a new rap or trap-influenced sound. According to XMAG and Pop Crave, this move marks a clear shift in his artistic direction and has set social media abuzz with speculation about an imminent comeback. Fans are in a frenzy dissecting every post, especially after Bieber teased new music online and was even seen driving while a mysterious new track played—complete with both his signature vocals and a fresh rap verse, as reported by CDAMag. Producer Mk.gee confirmed in a recent interview that he and Bieber have been “writing and recording,” fueling anticipation that a major musical era is on the horizon.But music isn't the only headline Justin is making. In a moment sure to thrill fans, he made a surprise stage appearance with SZA in Los Angeles, joining her to perform their hit “Snooze”—a move widely covered across entertainment and TikTok feeds. On the business side, his journey from teen idol to mogul continues to impress. Fintech Wealth recently detailed his evolution: from blockbuster tours and lucrative endorsements to significant investments in tech startups and the enduring success of his Drew House clothing line, Justin is diversifying far beyond traditional pop star territory.His personal life is unfolding just as publicly. Bieber and wife Hailey, who welcomed son Jack Blues Bieber in August 2024, have both shared tender family moments on social media, including a viral video of Justin playing with their son. Despite persistent tabloid rumors about trouble in paradise and speculation about divorce—a narrative Hailey herself recently dismissed in Vogue and on Instagram—sources insist the couple is still focused on family, even reportedly talking about baby number two. Hailey's recent billion-dollar deal for her Rhode beauty brand and her cover shoot for Vogue underline the couple's combined star power and business savvy.Still, not all reports are positive. Some sources, including RadarOnline, allege Justin's recent “anger issues” and emotional struggles are creating tension at home. He has openly admitted to feeling “broken” and struggling with self-control, which he addressed in a heartfelt Instagram post. Friends and industry insiders say he's determined to “hold it together” as he navigates personal and professional transitions alike.All signs point to a pivotal summer for Bieber: a new musical era potentially launching, a high-profile family life, and a relentless social media spotlight. The world is watching to see how he navigates his second act—a comeback that could redefine both his sound and his celebrity.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOta

"Hollywood's Lost Souls: The Stars Who Drowned in Plain Sight"Behind the glitz and glamour of Tinseltown lies a dark truth that the entertainment industry has spent decades covering up. Some of Hollywood's biggest stars weren't just battling addiction—they were deliberately kept drunk and drugged by a system designed to control, exploit, and ultimately destroy them. This explosive exposé reveals how Hollywood's most beloved actors became prisoners of their own fame, trapped in a web of studio-supplied substances, industry enablers, and shadowy handlers who profited from their deterioration. We're talking about stars who showed up to million-dollar movie sets completely intoxicated, directors who filmed around blackout-drunk actors, and an entire system that treated human beings like disposable entertainment products. Our investigation uncovers never-before-revealed stories of legendary performers who were so deep in their addiction that they couldn't function without alcohol, yet somehow continued working while studio executives covered up overdoses, on-set collapses, and behavior that would have ended any normal person's career. From A-list actors who drank themselves into oblivion during filming to beloved stars whose final years were spent in alcohol-induced hazes, this is the story Hollywood doesn't want you to hear. We'll expose the secret network of doctors, dealers, and fixers who kept these stars medicated and compliant, the mysterious deaths that were covered up as "accidents," and the ongoing conspiracy to protect the reputations of stars whose real lives were far darker than their public personas. Mystery enthusiasts know that nothing in Hollywood is ever what it seems—and this episode proves that the biggest cover-ups aren't always about the supernatural. From studio lots to rehab facilities, from penthouse parties to morgue slabs, we reveal how the entertainment industry systematically destroyed some of its brightest talents while the public remained completely unaware. The truth about Hollywood's darkest secrets isn't just about addiction—it's about a system of control that continues to this day. Stream exclusively on Spreaker for uncensored bonus content about Hollywood's hidden history, or find us on Amazon Music (ask your Alexa about Hollywood secrets), Apple Podcasts, Spotify, iHeartRadio, and everywhere truth-seekers get their entertainment reality checks.

Faith through the fire: Navigating personal struggles, spiritual seasons, and finding renewal in the midst of chaos. The scars of a turbulent upbringing – and how trauma shaped his views on love, trust, and self-worth. Faith when it's messy – how he wrestled with God during his darkest moments and found peace on the other side. Reuniting with the father he never knew – and the emotional toll of reconciling decades of abandonment. Fatherhood and forgiveness – breaking the cycle for his own children and choosing healing over bitterness.
