Podcasts about finding god

1. Early in his sermon, Tim said “American Christianity has largely sentimentalized the New Testament; but you can't do that with the Old Testament.”What do you think it means to “sentimentalize the NT?” How prominent is that in your experience of Christianity? How aware of it have you been or are you now?What things can you recognize and identify as impacts or outcomes of that sentimentalizing? How have those things impacted you and your life of faith?2. The phrase “the Canaanites” acts almost as a shorthand representation for the many smaller kingdoms that operated in the region at the time. These kingdoms operated in the mode of something Brueggemann called the “Royal Consciousness: a culture of domination, consumption, and social control where the few live extravagantly…at the cost of many.”Common objects of worship in these cultures were Baal & Asherah. Baal was the rain and storm god, while Asherah was believed to have power over childbirth and family concerns. The Israelites, as noted in Judges 3:7, don't last long before they lapse into servitude of these two gods.In the cultural & historical contexts of Judges, Baal & Asherah could be understood as objects that were worshipped in attempts to avoid the threats of chaos & barrenness. These two themes have shown up repeatedly in our study of the first Old Testament books.Where, in our own modern cultural context, do you see the same perpetual specters of chaos & barrenness? What does each look like in 2026's America?How do people today try to escape these modern iterations of chaos &/or barrenness? To what extent do you see that dynamic at play within our world today?To what extent is that dynamic at play in you and your life? What things do you pursue as hopeful saviors from these timeless threats? Where do you tend to (consciously or unconsciously) look for rescue or safety in the face of them?3. Tim described a pattern that is present in Judges; it's a cycle that starts with loss of memory resulting in ideological capture.Where can you identify these first parts of the pattern in a more contemporary context?After reviewing the full cycle, how relatable or resonant does this pattern seem today? Does it hold true? Where might you call out additional nuance or variation?Tim said that though this pattern is often referred to as the “sin cycle,” it is, instead, a Redemption Cycle. He added that “failure is the engine of every redemption story.”What do you think about this framing? Where does it hold up? Where might you feel curious about gaps?How might you conceive of yourself within its stages, especially in light of the things you identified in question 2 as places you may turn for safety in the face of chaos and/or barrenness?

Finding God is not the end of your spiritual journey; it is the beginning of a vital mission. Just as Andrew immediately sought out his brother Simon after meeting Jesus, discover how sharing your personal testimony and acting as a faithful signpost can guide searching souls to the Messiah today.

FINDING GOD PODCAST — SHOW NOTESEpisode: When Prayer Feels Hard — How to Pray When You're Hurt, Angry, or NumbEpisode SummaryIn this deeply honest episode of the Finding God Podcast, Keana speaks to the believer who wants to pray but feels stuck — the one who is hurting, angry, numb, or spiritually exhausted. Prayer can feel impossible in seasons of pain, but Scripture shows us that God meets us gently in those moments. This episode explores why prayer becomes difficult, how trauma and emotional overwhelm affect our ability to connect with God, and how to approach prayer with honesty instead of pressure.✨ Recap of Last Week's EpisodeKeana revisits last week's conversation, What God's Voice Sounds Like When You're Healing, reminding listeners that God's voice is gentle, patient, and compassionate. Healing helps us separate God's voice from fear, shame, or past wounds — a foundation that prepares us for today's discussion on praying through pain.✨ What We Cover in This Episode1. Why Prayer Feels Hard in Painful SeasonsHow emotional overwhelm and survival mode affect prayerWhy numbness is a protective response, not spiritual failureHow anger toward God creates shame and avoidanceInsights from psychologists like Dr. Bessel van der Kolk, Dr. Diane Langberg, and Dr. Julie Gottman2. Biblical Examples of People Who Struggled to PrayDavid's honest laments (Psalms 13, 22, 42)Hannah's wordless prayer in bitterness of soulElijah's exhaustion and despair in 1 Kings 19Job's raw questions and emotional honestyJesus' agony in Gethsemane3. What to Do When You Can't PrayPraying honestly instead of perfectlyUsing breath, silence, and stillness as prayerBorrowing prayers from Scripture, worship, or written prayersPraying small, simple, one‑sentence prayersAllowing God to come to you instead of striving4. Bible Verses for Hard SeasonsPsalm 34:18Romans 8:26Psalm 13Psalm 42:5Matthew 11:281 Peter 5:75. Practical Ways to Reconnect With GodCreating a safe prayer spaceUsing grounding techniques before prayerJournaling your prayersPraying through music or ScriptureGiving yourself permission to slow down✨ Key TakeawayGod is not disappointed in your struggle. Prayer is not a performance — it's presence. God meets you in your numbness, your silence, your anger, and your tears. You are not failing spiritually. You are healing, and God is near.

Send us Fan MailSuffering raises difficult questions about God, faith, and what it means to follow Jesus in a broken world. In this episode of Summer Series 2026, Tim Stewart welcomes theologian and author Dr. Kelly Kapic for an honest conversation about grief, pain, lament, and unanswered prayers.Drawing from years of academic research and personal experience caring for his wife through chronic illness, Dr. Kapic explores why Christians need to rediscover the language of lament, how we can acknowledge the realities of suffering without denying God's goodness, and why the Incarnation reveals a God who enters into our pain rather than remaining distant from it.Together, they discuss the importance of community in seasons of suffering, the relationship between forgiveness and healing, and how the Gospel offers not merely escape from this world, but participation in God's ongoing work of restoration.If you've wrestled with disappointment, loss, chronic pain, or questions about where God is in the midst of suffering, this episode offers thoughtful guidance, theological depth, and hope for the journey.In this episode:• Rediscovering lament as a faithful response to suffering• Holding together grief and God's goodness• Finding God's presence in pain through the Incarnation• Why honest faith makes room for sorrow and questions• The healing role of Christian community• Forgiveness as part of restoration and healing• Hope in the midst of grief, pain, and unanswered prayers

God meets us in the ordinary, but we must never treat His presence casually. Like Moses at the burning bush, discover how maintaining deep awe and reverence prevents familiarity from stealing your wonder and keeps your heart sensitive to His voice today.

In this week's episode, Keana explores a question many believers wrestle with but rarely say out loud: What does God's voice actually sound like when you're healing?When you've walked through trauma, heartbreak, or long seasons of survival mode, your ability to hear God can feel distorted. Not because God has changed — but because your nervous system, your trust, and your internal world are shifting.This episode gently unpacks how healing transforms the way you perceive God's voice, how to distinguish His voice from fear or shame, and how to recognize the tender, patient, protective tone God uses with His wounded children.If you're in a season of rebuilding your faith, reconnecting with God, or learning to trust His voice again, this episode will meet you right where you are.

What if the wilderness is not a sign of God's absence—but an invitation to encounter Him in a deeper way?In this thoughtful and soul-stirring conversation, Janell sits down with Old Testament scholar, spiritual director, and author Noel Forlini Burt to explore the sacred role of the desert throughout Scripture and our own lives. Drawing from her book, God in the Desert: A Spiritual Theology of Wilderness in the Old Testament, Noel invites us to reconsider seasons of uncertainty, silence, waiting, and spiritual disorientation.Together, they discuss the difference between wilderness and punishment, how God meets us in places of vulnerability, and why the desert may be a place of transformation rather than something to escape. They also explore a powerful question many of us are asking:How do we discern the difference between being in a season of wilderness formation and simply being chronically exhausted or living in survival mode?If you've ever felt like God has gone quiet, wondered whether your difficult season has a purpose, or longed to find meaning without rushing the process, this conversation offers a gentle invitation to slow down, listen deeply, and discover the gifts hidden within the wilderness.• Why wilderness is often a place of formation, not punishment• How to recognize God's presence in seasons of uncertainty• The spiritual gifts of silence, solitude, and waiting• Hagar's wilderness story and what it reveals about the heart of God• Wilderness formation versus survival mode• Why we don't need to rush healing or force meaning from our pain• How the desert invites us into deeper trust, presence, and becomingWhether you're walking through a season of grief, transition, unanswered questions, or spiritual dryness, this conversation reminds us that God is often doing His deepest work in places we least In this episode, we explore: Why wilderness is often a place of formation, not punishment• How to recognize God's presence in seasons of uncertainty• The spiritual gifts of silence, solitude, and waiting• Hagar's wilderness story and what it reveals about the heart of God• Wilderness formation versus survival mode• Why we don't need to rush healing or force meaning from our pain• How the desert invites us into deeper trust, presence, and becomingWhether you're walking through a season of grief, transition, unanswered questions, or spiritual dryness, this conversation reminds us that God is often doing His deepest work in places we least expect.Because sometimes the wilderness is not where we lose our way.Sometimes it's where we find God.

This week on Finding God, we're dismantling the fear-based belief that God is watching and waiting to punish us. If you've ever carried the weight of shame, guilt, or spiritual anxiety, this episode is for you. Keana W. Mitchell offers a trauma-informed, biblically grounded conversation about the true nature of God's love one rooted in grace, not retribution.We'll explore how distorted theology can shape our emotional lives, and how healing begins when we embrace the truth: God is not against you. He's for you. Always.

In this episode of the Ordinary Discipleship Podcast, Jessie talks with Daniel Yang of World Relief about refugees, immigrants, trauma, enemy mode, and what it means to follow Jesus in a time when fear and suspicion are shaping so much of our public life. Daniel shares his own family's refugee story, the work of World Relief, and how the church is called not only to welcome the vulnerable but to receive them as gifts from God. Together, Jessie and Daniel explore why loving our enemy is not an optional ideal but a core spiritual discipline, how proximity breaks down fear, and how ordinary disciples can practice welcome, prayer, courage, and embodied love in their own communities.

Send Sherry a Text MessageThis week on It's a Single Mom Thing, Sherry gets deeply personal as she shares what it's looked like to trust God through an unexpected season of brain fog, medical challenges, slowed-down plans, and surrendered opportunities.After last week's episode Problems to Promise: When God Rewrites the Plan, this conversation dives even deeper into what happens when God's provision doesn't look the way we expected.What if the interruption isn't the punishment… but the provision?Through honest reflections, spiritual insight, and real-time lessons, Sherry explores: learning to slow down without guilt  surrendering control  trusting God in uncertainty  allowing others to help  recognizing God's provision through people, redirection, and community  and discovering that you are not alone—even when you live alone This episode is for the woman who feels exhausted, overwhelmed, delayed, interrupted, or unsure of what God is doing in this season.Because sometimes… where God guides, He provides not through hustle—but through healing, surrender, and support.If you need prayer or encouragement, Shepherd's Village offers a 24-hour prayer line at

May 9, 2026Strength to Strength welcomed Grant Bontrager to discuss lessons learned through his life story.Grant Bontrager was born as the result of a sexual assault. Although he was raised in a loving, Christian home, he still struggled intensely with identity, questions about his past, and the belief that God had a plan for his strange, confusing life.It wasn't until he went to a counselor, took a deep look at his heart, identified the pain caused by those questions, and brought that pain to Jesus, that he was able to find his identity, and the answers to the many “Why?” questions.Grant has found his calling in life to go share his story in prisons and churches, and to walk with others who are struggling with painful things in their lives.An interactive question-and-answer period follows.https://strengthtostrength.org/finding-gods-purpose-for-our-pain/

David Pollack was a first-round NFL draft pick living his childhood dream when a broken neck in his second season ended everything — and he says it was the best thing that ever happened to his faith. The forced stillness he'd never allowed himself finally let him hear from God. Then in 2025, his wife Lindsay was diagnosed with brain cancer, and Pollack discovered that watching someone you love suffer is a completely different test than suffering yourself. He joins Brian From to talk about his new book Every Day Counts, what football taught him about failing forward in faith, and the three R's — reflect, repent, repurpose — that transformed his prayer life from awkward obligation to actual conversation. He also makes a point that lands hard: you have to be selfish in the morning so you can be selfless the rest of the day. If God matters, get up earlier. Plus a college football bonus — David weighs in on Michigan, Illinois, Bryce Underwood, and what he's watching heading into the season. A genuinely fun, genuinely convicting hour.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this episode, we're talking about something that sounds simple, but honestly—most people don't know how to live it out: everyday faith.It's easy to have faith when you're in church, when the music is playing, or when you're in a moment that feels spiritual. But what about the ordinary moments? The routines, the responsibilities, the conversations, the quiet places no one sees—does your faith show up there?Because real faith isn't just something you turn on during a service. It's how you think, how you respond, how you trust God when nothing feels significant at all.We're getting practical in this episode. What does it actually look like to use your faith in your daily life? How do you stay aware of God in the middle of a busy schedule? And how do you stop separating your “spiritual life” from your real life?If you've ever felt like your faith is strong in certain moments but distant in others, this conversation is for you.Your everyday life is not separate from your faith—it's where your faith is meant to live.Purchase my new 60 Day Prosper Devotional: https://joiemiller.co/prosperproductGet more encouraging videos every week by subscribing: https://www.youtube.com/@joiemiller436About Joie MillerJoie Miller lives in the Pittsburgh area with her husband, Nathan, and their five children.

Send us Fan MailIn this episode of Small Beginnings with Sara, I'm sharing reflections from my recent trip to Poland and North Cyprus, and all the unexpected ways I encountered God's presence along the way.There were moments of beauty, moments of grief, moments of stillness, and moments where I had to trust God in places that felt unfamiliar and uncertain. I found myself thinking so much about the scripture in Deuteronomy 31:8, “The Lord himself goes before you and will be with you.”Sometimes we walk into new seasons carrying questions, exhaustion, grief, or even fear of the unknown. But I'm reminded again that God never asks us to go somewhere He hasn't already gone before us.In this episode, I talk about what it means to mourn with those who mourn, to find rest in Jesus, and to slow down long enough to recognize God's voice and presence, even while traveling across the world.If you're walking through a season that feels uncertain, heavy, or stretching you beyond what feels comfortable, I pray this conversation reminds you that you are not alone. God is already there.Scriptures referenced:Deuteronomy 31:8Romans 12:15Matthew 5:4Matthew 11:28–30Psalm 46:10Listen now wherever you stream podcasts.

In this episode, I sit down with Pierre Mousseau — entrepreneur, keynote speaker, and author of From the Ashes: A Father's Journey Through Grief, Grace, and Faith. This is one of the most extraordinary, raw, and spiritually powerful conversations this show has ever had. Pierre grew up with a severely alcoholic and mentally abusive father, was molested at 11, slept on the streets at 17, and was kicked out of his home at 19. He built himself into an entrepreneur, a husband, and a father. And then his son Parker — sweet, joyful, endlessly loving Parker — was taken from him at 21 years old after a catastrophic bowel emergency, five surgeries, and seven weeks in the ICU. Pierre made the decision to remove him from life support. Five months later, with his company collapsing and the grief unbearable, Pierre got into his car at full speed aimed at a maple tree. He should have died that day. He didn't. What follows is one of the most extraordinary stories of faith, forgiveness, and divine intervention you will ever hear — from the church he walked into while still hating God, to the deacon whose homily that Sunday was about losing a child, to the moment in the shower when something held him and everything changed. This episode will stop you in your tracks. And it will remind you to hug your kids today. Timeline Summary [0:00] Introduction to the Dad Edge mission and the movement to raise leaders of families and communities [1:02] Pierre's childhood — alcoholic and abusive father, bullied at school, Spider-Man comics as his only escape [5:33] Moving in with a drug-addicted uncle at 17, sleeping on the streets, and nobody noticing he was gone [7:44] Being molested at 11 — and the family that never did anything about it [8:31] Driving four hours to see his dying father determined to tell him everything — and what actually happened instead [10:41] Saying "I forgive you" at his father's bedside — and still carrying the hatred for years after [15:51] Introducing Pierre — entrepreneur, speaker, and author of From the Ashes [17:30] Who Parker was — how he loved, what made him extraordinary, and the boy who still believed in Santa Claus at 14 [21:30] The phone call from the hospital — and the doctor who said "I don't know what happened but his bowel is pink" [23:33] Seven weeks in the ICU, ICU delirium, and the decision Pierre had to make [25:39] "I felt like I murdered my child" — the guilt that followed Pierre for years [32:18] The hardest decision he has ever made — and why he couldn't keep Parker alive for himself [38:02] Five months after Parker's death, the company collapsed — and on a Saturday morning Pierre got in his car to end his life [39:09] Heading for a maple tree at full speed — and what stopped him [40:44] Eleven months of hating God — and the Sunday morning he suddenly drove to church [41:21] Walking into mass on the homily about losing a child — and sobbing until the woman beside him put her hand on his shoulder [43:52] Meeting Deacon Curtis, the grief retreat, Parker's orange tag, and the text that said "I think Parker is trying to tell you something" [47:30] In the shower in March 2025 — the purple light, the arms that held him, and the love that changed everything [51:14] Strength is not pushing through — strength is vulnerability, asking for help, and being willing to say "this sucks" [52:38] The keynote at the convent and the woman with a cane who walked up at the end without one [56:47] The man in the steam room bashing his kids — and what Pierre said that silenced the room Five Key Takeaways Forgiveness is not a feeling — it's a decision you make before the feeling follows. Pierre said the words at his father's bedside before he was ready. The release came years later. Grief and guilt will destroy you if you carry them alone. The bravest thing Pierre did wasn't surviving the worst moments — it was finally saying "I need help" and meaning it. Strength is not pushing through. Strength is vulnerability. Strength is allowing yourself to cry, to feel, to say this is hard, and to ask for another man to come alongside you. You never know when the moments will be gone. Cherish the ordinary ones — the arcade nights, the couch cuddles, the conversations that start after midnight. Parker would tell you that. God meets you in your most broken moment — not when you've cleaned yourself up. Pierre was still hating God when he walked through that church door. It didn't matter.

And what he has done with that loss — the book, the keynotes, the moment in the steam room, the woman who walked without her cane — is one of the most beautiful things we have ever witnessed on this show. Don't let another day go by without telling the people who matter most that you love them. Go out and live legendary.
