Podcasts about Finding Freedom

Unforgiven resentment does not just weigh on your heart. It fuels chronic stress, drains your energy, and quietly sabotages your focus, your decisions, and your success. In this episode of DarrenDaily On-Demand, Darren Hardy reveals the single word that unlocks both happiness and freedom, and why it may be the most important thing you ever do. Drawing on the Forgiveness Project work of Desmond Tutu and Shawne Duperon, and on raw stories about his own mother and father, Darren walks through three realizations that make forgiveness possible. This episode dives into how to finally let go of the apology you may never receive. Join the A-Team. One Mission. One Team. One Standard.

You can have deep roots, genuine resilience, open hands, and real faith — and still not fully flourish. Because flourishing requires freedom. And for most of us, the thing standing between us and that freedom is something we've been carrying so long we don't notice the weight anymore. It's shame. In week 8 of our summer series, Christine Caine gets personal. This is the episode where she shares the testimony that reaches the part of us we don't usually let anyone see, the part that wonders, quietly and persistently, whether we are actually enough. Whether God could really use someone like us. Whether what happened to us has somehow disqualified us from what He intended for us. Christine Caine takes us back to Genesis 2, to the last verse before the fall, to the one thing God never designed us to carry, and shows that shame was never part of the original design. The enemy introduced it precisely because it is the most effective weapon against the thing he most wants to destroy: a life bearing fruit for the Kingdom. In this episode, Christine Caine opens her own story and shows what happened when she chose to place the truth of God's Word over the facts of her circumstances. She doesn't minimize the facts. She simply introduces a force that is higher than the facts: the truth of who God says you are. The takeaway that will stay with you: the thing the enemy used to shame you is often the very thing God will use to qualify you. ✨ If you've ever asked questions like… ✅ Why do I still feel like I'm not enough, even after years of faith? ✅ Can God really use someone with a past like mine? ✅ How do I separate my identity from what happened to me? ✅ What do I do with shame that feels too deep or too old to shift? ✅ How do I believe what God says about me when the facts of my life say something different? ✅ Is it possible to flourish when I'm still carrying things I haven't told anyone? ✅ What does it actually mean to be God's workmanship — and does that include me? …then this is your episode.

Everyone's worried about AI taking their jobs — but David Dean, enterprise technologist and author of An Inbox Between Us, argues that's the wrong fear entirely. In this episode, David explains how AI is really acting as a mirror, exposing the "unwritten contract" of how organizations actually function beneath their official processes and org charts. He and John dig into why authenticity and transparency are becoming non-negotiable for leaders as behavioral patterns become newly discoverable, why lived experience and judgment are things AI will never replicate, and why real AI adoption starts with organizational (and personal) self-discovery rather than new tools. It's a refreshingly grounded take on AI in the workplace — less about replacement, more about revelation.

What if everything you've been searching for has been within you all along? In this episode, Pratiqk Jaani, author of Drashti: The Perception and creator of the Drashti Method, shares the life-changing realization that transformed the way he experiences success, relationships, and everyday life. After years of pursuing achievement, personal growth, and external validation, he discovered that lasting fulfillment isn't something we find. It's something we remember. Pratiqk explains how the subconscious mind shapes our beliefs, behaviors, and relationships, often without us realizing it. Through personal stories, practical examples, and thought-provoking analogies, he reveals how changing our perception can lead to greater peace, stronger relationships, and a life no longer driven by fear or the need for constant achievement.   [00:02:30] What He Does and Who He Serves Author of Drashti: The Perception and creator of the Drashti Method. Helps people understand the subconscious patterns behind fear, anxiety, and emotional struggle. Guides individuals toward greater awareness, inner peace, and lasting fulfillment. Believes lasting transformation begins by changing how we perceive ourselves and the world. [00:05:00] The Search for Something More Spent years pursuing success through business, personal development, and achievement. Discovered that every accomplishment led to another goal instead of lasting fulfillment. Began questioning why external success never felt complete. Realized the answers he was seeking couldn't be found outside himself. [00:08:00] Discovering Wholeness Experienced a shift from constantly chasing to living from a place of completeness. Learned that peace comes from recognizing what already exists within us. Stopped measuring life by outcomes and started appreciating each experience. Says fulfillment isn't something we achieve, but something we awaken to. [00:12:00] Why We Keep Chasing Explains how society conditions us to seek happiness through external achievements. Believes most goals are driven by a desire to feel complete. Shares why success alone can never satisfy the deeper longing within us. Introduces the core philosophy behind the Drashti Method. [00:16:00] The Closed Fist Analogy Uses a clenched fist to illustrate how fear and tension block new opportunities. Explains why operating from survival keeps people focused on scarcity. Encourages people to relax their grip and trust the process. Says openness allows life to unfold in unexpected ways. [00:19:00] Turning Insight Into a Movement Began sharing these ideas after witnessing profound change in others. Wrote Drashti: The Perception to introduce a new way of understanding life. Created the Drashti Method to help people experience those insights for themselves. Describes the work as a calling rather than a career. [00:21:00] Helping Others Break Through Fear Shares the story of a friend who dreamed of leaving corporate life to start a car business. Helped him realize his greatest obstacle was the fear of being judged. Once that fear was addressed, he confidently launched his business. Sold his first seven cars almost immediately after taking action. [00:24:00] Letting Go of the Outcome Explains why forcing results often creates unnecessary resistance. Compares personal growth to planting a seed and allowing it time to grow. Believes our responsibility is to take action without becoming attached to outcomes. Says life often responds when we stop trying to control every detail. [00:27:00] Seeing Life Through a Different Lens Encourages people to stop labeling experiences as good or bad. Uses simple everyday examples to illustrate how perception shapes reality. Explains that every experience offers an opportunity for growth. Believes acceptance creates greater peace than resistance. [00:29:00] The Relationships That Shape Us Credits both sets of grandparents for teaching sacrifice, unconditional love, and strong values. Learned valuable lessons from mentors, friends, clients, and even difficult relationships. Believes every relationship enters our lives for a reason. Says the people around us often become our greatest teachers. [00:33:00] Understanding the Patterns We Learned Reflects on childhood experiences that shaped his beliefs about love and acceptance. Realized he had learned to earn affection by constantly giving to others. Explains that awareness is the first step toward lasting change. Encourages people to address the root of their struggles instead of the symptoms. [00:36:00] Relationships Without Expectations Found greater freedom by serving others without expecting anything in return. Says authentic relationships flourish when validation is no longer the goal. Believes inner peace changes the way we show up for others. Explains that fulfillment grows through genuine connection. [00:38:00] When Healing Changes Everything Shares how understanding subconscious patterns transformed the lives of people he has worked with. Explains that awareness creates lasting change without relying on willpower alone. Believes healing naturally strengthens families, friendships, and communities. Says personal transformation always creates a ripple effect. [00:41:00] Final Thoughts Encourages listeners to begin with Drashti: The Perception before exploring the Drashti Method. Invites people to approach the work with curiosity and an open mind. Offers support for anyone seeking greater clarity, peace, and purpose. Leaves listeners with a reminder that the freedom they seek has been within them all along.   KEY QUOTES "Everybody deserves the life they want. And because of the conditioning and because of the fears, people spend their life hoping that one day they will do it, and that day never comes." - Pratiqk Jaani "No matter how much money you earn, you are always going to chase more because you're not really wanting more money. What you really want is to feel that fulfillment. To feel completeness." - Pratiqk Jaani "If you want to receive something, you have to keep your arms open or your hands open. If you make a fist, you can't receive it." - Pratiqk Jaani CONNECT WITH PRATIQK JAANI Website: https://www.pratiqkjaani.com Drashti Method: https://www.drashtimethod.com LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/pratiqkjaani Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/janipratikk   Thanks for tuning in!

Fear is part of being human. We can't stop life's waves from coming—but we can learn how to meet them with awareness, compassion, and courage. In this talk, I explore how meditation helps us awaken from what I call "worrier pose"—the habitual patterns of anxiety, overthinking, and contraction that keep us from living with an open heart. Together we'll explore how fear becomes less an obstacle and more a doorway to awakening, and practices—including RAIN—that help us move from identifying with fear to resting in the larger awareness that can hold it all. Rather than trying to eliminate fear, we can learn to relate to it with presence, kindness, and a deep sense of belonging. As we learn to turn toward fear with mindful presence instead of resistance, we discover that what we truly are is larger than any wave of anxiety. Beneath fear is an awake, loving awareness that has the capacity to hold every experience with wisdom and compassion.  In this talk Tara explores: Why fear is a natural part of the human experience How anxiety shapes the body, mind, and emotions The difference between reacting to fear and relating to it wisely Using the RAIN practice to meet anxiety with compassion The importance of "resourcing" when emotions feel overwhelming How remembering our shared humanity helps dissolve isolation and fear ******************** Our introduction music is from "Opening" by Adrienne Torf, © 2025 ABT Music Support Tara's Work: If you find value in these talks and wish to support their continuation, please consider making a donation.

Freedom in Monopoly is fairly straightforward. You have options. In the spiritual realm, you have only one option to gain true freedom: Faith in Jesus! But beyond that there are actions you can take to remain in the freeing relationship you have with God. Want more on this?

Ep. 214 | How Do I Stop People Pleasing? Finding Freedom Through God's Approval Instead of Everyone Else's Do you struggle with people pleasing? Do you find yourself saying yes when you really want to say no, worrying about disappointing others, or constantly wondering what people think about you? If you've ever asked, "How do I stop people pleasing?" you're not alone. Many Christian women carry the weight of trying to make everyone happy—at work, at home, at church, and in their relationships. But constantly seeking approval can leave you exhausted, anxious, and feeling like you're never doing enough. In today's episode, we're looking at what the Bible says about people pleasing and the fear of man. Together, we'll uncover why we crave other people's approval, how it affects our relationship with God, and how to find lasting freedom by resting in the approval that already belongs to us through Christ.

FINDING FREEDOM IN CHRIST - This message reveals the road to freedom in Christ. 

Dr Russell Thackeray welcomes writer and nonprofit leader Deborah Santana from Los Angeles to discuss her work and memoir, Loving the Fire: Choosing Me, Finding Freedom. Deborah explains her nonprofit Do Little, which supports women and girls in health, education, and happiness, and describes her lifelong commitment to challenging exclusion, shaped by growing up with an interracial family and seeing ongoing barriers such as limits on women's ordination. She critiques cultural and political forces she sees as pushing society toward a white patriarchal system, and emphasises education through original, trustworthy sources. She shares how being married to guitarist Carlos Santana for 34 years led her to feel unseen, and how leaving helped her live by her values, focus on collaborative “circle” work, and reclaim her identity. She highlights meditation as a core resilience practice and offers guidance on moving away from toxic relationships. She directs viewers to deborahsantana.com and notes an audiobook is in progress.00:00 Welcome and Introductions00:49 Flowers and Gardening Chat02:03 Nonprofit Mission Do Little02:58 Why Equality Still Matters03:39 Family Roots and Exclusion08:20 Reclaiming Your Voice10:41 Leaving Celebrity Life11:35 Circles and Museum Work13:11 Truth Education and AI14:31 Loving the Fire Memoir17:12 Meditation and Walking Through Fire19:13 Toxic Relationships and Change20:54 Where to Find the Book21:41 Audiobook and Closing You can contact us at info@qedod.comResources can be found online or link to our website https://resilienceunravelled.com

In this episode Rebecca Maxwell welcomes Dr. Cyndee Stevens and Tiffany Wood to explain what obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) looks like, how it differs from normal anxiety or perfectionism, and why it is often underdiagnosed. They describe the OCD loop—intrusive thoughts, anxiety, and compulsive responses—and give real examples of common compulsions and reassurance-seeking behaviors. From a Christian perspective they discuss how OCD thought patterns can be mistaken for spiritual discernment, how it impacts identity and daily life, and why reassurance can unintentionally feed the cycle. The episode ends with hope: an introduction to evidence-based treatment (ERP), resources for support, and encouragement that recovery is possible.

Nick talks to Jean Moncrieff, CEO of the Small Giants Community and author of Finding Freedom, who shares his personal journey of building a company, almost losing it through an ill-advised exit, and eventually selling it successfully to his management team.  The conversation explores how business owners can build high-value, purpose-driven companies that offer genuine lifestyle freedom. Jean and Nick dive deep into the crucial role of alignment, the psychology of leadership, and how to successfully navigate different exit options—including employee ownership models—by cultivating a high-performing leadership team. KEY TAKEAWAYS To successfully scale a business, founders must shift their mindset from needing to be the smartest person in the room to intentionally surrounding themselves with leaders who are highly capable of running things independently. When building a leadership team, alignment with the company's core values and unique culture is just as critical as a candidate's tactical skills and job capabilities. As an unprecedented wave of baby boomer business owners look to retire, a severe shortage of capable incoming leaders is creating a significant leadership vacuum. True financial and lifestyle freedom is achieved by systematically executing three distinct phases in order: exiting daily operational chaos, exiting the business's management operations, and finally, executing the financial exit of the business itself. BEST MOMENTS "Feed me, John, feed me... I was chasing output, I was chasing revenue... and I thought that's what this was all about."  "You don't want to control your business, you want to be able to curate above it; you want to be in charge, but control is bad because you're stuck in everything."  "I think it's almost like sticking a light bulb into the socket, and if the wiring's done right, the thing lights up." "The quickest way that I advise the founders that I work with to get to where they want to get to is bring the person who's done it. Bring the person in... and then get out of the way."

Friend, this week is a special week on the Anchored by the Sword Podcast! Not only am I joined by Stephanie Esposito, author, speaker, military wife, and host of the #1-rated Abundant TV show Salted, but this is also the first of two incredible Abundant TV hosts you'll hear from this week. Stephanie joins me today, and be sure to come back Friday for another inspiring conversation with a fellow Abundant TV host.In this powerful episode, Stephanie shares her personal freedom story—one that began in a hospital room when her young son was facing a life-threatening illness. After weeks of unanswered questions, Stephanie found herself crying out to God and standing on His promises like never before. What happened next changed not only her son's story but her understanding of faith, healing, and God's faithfulness forever. Stephanie shares how she learned that God's promises are not just for "other people." They're for His children.Together, we talk about what it means to trust God when life doesn't make sense, how disappointment can sometimes keep us from seeing God's hand at work, and why it's so important to anchor ourselves in Scripture instead of our emotions.We also discuss her journey from television news to ministry, her book The Covering: Spiritual First Aid for Families, and the incredible success of her Abundant TV show, Salted, which is creating space for authentic conversations about faith, mental health, relationships, purpose, and the issues Christian women are navigating every day.One of my favorite moments from this conversation was when Stephanie reminded us that sometimes God answers our prayers in ways we never expected. We can become so focused on what we think the answer should look like that we miss the miracle standing right in front of us.God cannot lie. His promises are still true, and His faithfulness is still your anchor.If you've ever struggled with disappointment, fear, anxiety, unanswered prayers, or wondering if God's promises really apply to you, this conversation will encourage your heart. Bio:Stephanie Esposito is an author, speaker, military wife, mom of three and a Boston Terrier, and host of Salted, the #1-rated show on Abundant TV.She loves people and has always wanted to be a voice for the underdog. She has had that opportunity both as a journalist and then in conventional ministry. She has over 15 years of experience in leadership, building teams, leading people and communications. She is also the author of The Covering: Spiritual First Aid for Families, a resource designed to help families stand on God's Word during life's most challenging moments.She loves working out, cheering on the Phillies and Eagles, and eating pizza. Anchor Verses:Jeremiah 29:11Hebrews 6:17-19Connect with Stephanie:Website: https://www.stephanieesposito.comFB: https://www.facebook.com/share/1D62z9dQUj/?mibextid=wwXIfrIG: https://www.instagram.com/stephanie.esposito***We love hearing from you!

What happens when your life falls apart and you're left with only fragments? In this episode of the AVAIL podcast, author and pastor Tullian Tchividjian opens up about his public crash and the deep, uncomfortable work of recovery that followed. Discussing his new multi-sensory book, Fragments of Freedom, Tullian explains how hitting rock bottom transformed his theological understanding of grace into a functional lifeline. This conversation is an invitation to stop pretending, take off the mask of behavior modification, and discover the radical freedom that comes from being brutally honest about our brokenness while standing securely on God's unconditional love.

Most fitness programs are designed for people who are already in shape — but what about everyone else? In this episode of Finding Freedom, host John welcomes back certified personal trainer and health coach Jason Gagne, creator of the Good to Go Body 90-day program, built specifically for people starting from scratch. Jason shares his remarkable personal story of rebuilding his body after a series of childhood surgeries that left him bedridden for years, and how that experience shaped a training philosophy rooted in patience, flexibility, and consistency over intensity.

Most fitness programs are designed for people who are already in shape — but what about everyone else? In this episode of Finding Freedom, host John welcomes back certified personal trainer and health coach Jason Gagne, creator of the Good to Go Body 90-day program, built specifically for people starting from scratch. Jason shares his remarkable personal story of rebuilding his body after a series of childhood surgeries that left him bedridden for years, and how that experience shaped a training philosophy rooted in patience, flexibility, and consistency over intensity.

This episode is sponsored by Kava Haven, Lagoon, Noogs, and Goodr. Today on the podcast, I'm excited to welcome Roisin Willis. Roisin has had an incredible first year as a professional runner. Last summer, she won the U.S. title in the 800 meters. In January, she broke the American indoor record in the 800, and just recently she ran her first Diamond League race in Stockholm, where she finished third, ran a personal best of 1:57.56, and made the podium against one of the deepest fields in the world. Roisin trains with Mark Coogan and Team New Balance Boston. She just graduated from Stanford University, where she was a two-time NCAA champion, majoring in History with a minor in Film and Media Studies. In this conversation, Roisin reflects on her transition from collegiate running to the professional ranks, what she learned from competing in two Olympic Trials before turning 21, her experience overcoming insomnia, growing in her faith, and how she developed the confidence to compete on the world stage.

Host Mika Altidor continues a Get Obsessed podcast conversation with Stefano Siciliano, using the life of 1800s abolitionist John Brown to question claims that today is the worst time in history. Mika notes Brown endured extreme hardship, high child and maternal mortality, and fought slavery despite being white, ultimately giving his life for the cause. Stefano argues that while methods and appearances change, the fundamental “mechanic” remains: the pursuit of freedom from what is not true, with modern slavery expressed through deception, banking, and corrupt political systems. He says fear of loss drives greed and manipulation until people hit a crisis point where nothing works, creating the opportunity to be “available” for what's possible. Availability depends on how one responds to adversity, like river water smoothing resistance in rocks. 00:00 Welcome Back Part Two 00:37 John Brown And Hard Times 03:29 Freedom Then And Now 05:19 Fear Loss And Corruption 05:47 Hitting The Wall 06:34 Choosing Availability 07:47 River Rocks Metaphor 08:43 Modern Comforts Still Misery Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Today, on Karl and Crew, we continued our weekly theme, "Under Pressure," which explores how pressure reveals where we run, and we focused on Psalm 46. Nadia Gordynsky joined us to share how the loss of her son opened her eyes to the value of every unborn life and led to a ministry that now helps mothers in crisis choose life and find hope in Christ. Nadia is the Founder, President, and CEO of Save a Life International. Greg Dempster joined us to talk about the pressure leaders carry when their value is tied to performance, explaining how God invites us to stop building our lives on our own strength and to receive the care only He can give. Greg is the Founder and Director of ChristLife Ministries. He's also been a senior leader, elder, and ministry director. You can hear the highlights of today’s program on the Karl and Crew Showcast.

In this episode of the Man Talk Show, I am joined by the legendary author David Deida to explore his profound new book, The Man of Zero. We dive deep into the concept of "zero"—a unique phase of emptiness, purposelessness, and outgrowing standard adulthood that many successful men eventually encounter.Together, we unpack how to view depression as a powerful gateway, navigate relationship dynamics with strong partners, and shift from a life driven by constant doing into the effortless strength of pure presence. Whether you are currently feeling completely unmotivated or are looking to cultivate a deeper devotional polarity in your intimacy, this conversation offers a paradigm-shifting roadmap for the modern man.SHOW HIGHLIGHTS00:00:08 - Introduction to David Deida and The Man of Zero00:02:32 - Defining the "Zero" Phase of Emptiness and Purposelessness00:06:57 - Exploring Depression as a Gateway00:11:12 - The Power of Pure Being and Universal Alignment00:14:40 - The Three Phases of Masculinity: Basic Man, Superior Man, and the Man of Zero00:23:10 - Connecting with Universal Awareness in Ourselves and Others00:30:34 - Shifting From the Experience of Numbness to the Space of the Perceiver00:36:40 - Navigating Relationship Conflict and the Clinging to Peace00:43:56 - Cultivating Sexual Attraction and Devotional Polarity from Zero00:51:38 - Processing Inherited Patterns of Shame and Guilt00:57:00 - Finding Freedom and Deep Presence with Strong Partners01:02:29 - Closing Thoughts and Where to Find Free Resources***Tired of feeling like you're never enough?

Betrayal inside the church hits differently. It shakes your faith, your friendships, and sometimes your sense of self. In this episode, Elisa, Eryn, and Vivian get honest about their own experiences with community hurt—the kind that's hard to talk about and even harder to heal from. Together, they turn to Jesus, who knew betrayal intimately, to ask: What does it actually look like to move forward? This is the conversation you didn't know you needed.  Notes and Quotes:  “Jesus had relationships knowing He was going to get hurt.” —Eryn Eddy Adkins  “Do I love God because of what He gives me and these outcomes that I expect in my life? Do I love Him conditionally like a vending machine—I say the prayer, and out comes the blessing and it's transactional? Or do I love Him unconditionally? Do I love Him, come what may?” —Vivian Mabuni  "Do I love in that kind of way with others—is the type of love I display to others conditional or is it an unconditional love because of how God has loved me?” —Vivian Mabuni  “God's love extends to all.” —Elisa Morgan  Verses:  Luke 22:20-54  John 21:15-19  Related Episodes:  GHH Ep 15 – Navigating Difficult Relationships with Patricia Raybon: https://godhearsher.org/podcast/navigating-difficult-relationships/ GHH Ep 17 – Finding Freedom from Toxic People with Gary Thomas: https://godhearsher.org/podcast/finding-freedom-from-toxic-people/ GHH Ep 76 – Abuse in the Church with Dr. Amanda Benckhuysen: https://godhearsher.org/podcast/abuse-in-the-church/ Links:  God Hears Her website: https://go.odb.org/sfmc-ghh  Subscribe to the God Hears Her YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@GodHearsHerODBM
