Podcasts about Finding Our Way

A Conversation on the Creed with Glenn PackiamTo help kick off our sermon series on the Apostles' Creed, Chris sat down with our friend Glenn Packiam for a conversation on the Creed. Why is the creed so valuable in the life of the church, and how is it uniquely relevant to us as followers of Jesus today? We hope this will serve as a resource and guide as we continue to explore the Apostles' Creed as a community. Glenn Packiam is the Lead Pastor of Rockharbor Church in Costa Mesa, California, and a Senior Fellow at Barna Group. He is the author of “What's a Christian Anyway? Finding Our Way in an Age of Confusion and Corruption” (March 2025).

Episode 210 of The Hitstreak, a podcast where we talk about anything and everything!  This week we are joined by Singer-Songwriter & Storyteller, Matt McClure!Episode in a Glance:In this episode of The Hitstreak, I get to sit down with singer-songwriter Matt McClure, who shares his journey of creating the impactful song 'The Shore.' The conversation delves into the themes of personal responsibility, the healing power of music, and the importance of authenticity in storytelling. Matt discusses how his music has transformed lives, resonating with listeners across generations, and emphasizes the significance of community support in overcoming struggles. The episode highlights the journey of a song from creation to viral success, illustrating how real stories can inspire and uplift others.Key Points:- Everybody has it within themselves to keep going.- The bravest thing you can do is save yourself.- Music can change lives and provide healing.- Personal responsibility is key to overcoming struggles.- Failure is part of the journey to success.- Authenticity is crucial in connecting with audiences.- Building a supportive community enhances growth.- Finding inspiration in everyday life is essential.About our guest: Matt McClure is a Western Kentucky native whose music is rooted in resilience, authenticity, and family. After moving to Nashville a decade ago with little more than a guitar and a dream, he built a career while supporting his family as a tour bus driver for some of the biggest names in music. In 2024, Matt's own voice broke through with the viral success of “The Shore”, a raw track about breaking free from a toxic relationship. The song resonated worldwide, sparking a wave of connection that launched his music career. Since then, he's released six more singles—“Nosebleed,” “I Met a Man,” “Lead Me On,” “The Game,” “The Lion,” and “Clock on the Wall”—amassing a following of more than 600,000 and millions of streams. But for Matt, it's not about numbers. His songs, tackling topics from domestic abuse and mental health to the fentanyl crisis, have inspired thousands to find hope and healing. His growing community has become what he calls a “healing hub,” with therapists even using his music in sessions to help patients open up and heal. For Matt, every song is proof that music can connect, heal, and save lives.Follow and contact:Instagram: @_mattmcclure_mattmccluremusic.com**Once the goal of 2.5 million members is met, 1,000 limited-edition T-shirts and the unreleased song will be sent, along with the first 1,000 full dental care awards!**Subscribe to Nick's top-rated podcast The Hitstreak on Youtube: ⁠https://www.youtube.com/NickHite⁠rFollow and Rate us on Spotify: ⁠https://spotify.com/NickHiter⁠Follow and Rate us on Apple Podcast: ⁠https://podcasts.apple.com/NickHiter⁠Follow and Rate us on iHeartRadio: ⁠https://www.iheart.com/NickHiter

She is passionate about schools caring for the needs of the full community and has integrated transitions care into her work in various roles. She has a B.A. in Youth Ministry, an MEd. in Curriculum and Instruction and is a Youth Mental Health First Aider. Amy enjoys meeting people, cooking, and spending time with her family.Lina previously served as Counselor and Wellness Coordinator at Nido de Aguilas in Santiago, Chile.

Lina likes to explore the outdoors, stay active, and spend time with friends, family and her dog. She believes in the power of embracing our full humanity through life's changes, which are inevitable -- and an opportunity for growth.The guiding question was: “How can schools build or enhance a program rooted in positive transitions-care?”Topics covered:An overview of SPAN Supporting arrivers, leavers, and stayersReasons why schools need transitions care programs and practical strategies Recorded: July 13, 2025.Resources mentioned:International School Counselor Association - ISCALife Without Nico by Andrea MaturanaLINDEN Global Learning & SupportSafe Passage Across NetworksLina's LinkedIn, Instagram, linapaumgarten.comAmy's LinkedInCategories: Transitions | School Life  Remember to access our Educators Going Global website for more information and consider joining our Patreon community at patreon/educatorsgoingglobal!Email us with comments or suggestions at educatorsgoingglobal@gmail.com Follow us on LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram or YouTube.Listen on your favorite podcast app: connect from our share page.Music: YouTube.

This podcast is comprised of various segments from a service that was streamed on September 7, 2025, led by Rev. Roger Bertschausen. The theme for September is Building Belonging.

This is the talk from our 10:45 service on 7 September 2025. The reading was John 14:1-11, where Jesus declares "I am the way and the truth and the life." Graham Archer, a friend of St Jude's and former CPAS worker, explores how these words offer hope in anxious times. He reminds us that whilst Jesus promises trouble in this world, he has overcome it. Through personal stories and practical wisdom, Graham unpacks what it means that Jesus is our way through uncertainty, our truth in a post-truth world, and our life both now and eternally. A timely message for a church in vacancy and a nation seeking anchors.

This week, we return with part two of our mother-daughterconversation—one that feels even more tender, more unfiltered, and more vulnerable than the first.We didn't plan this one. We just hit record and talked.What unfolded was an open and honest reflection on our personal relationships with food, our bodies, and ultimately, with ourselves.We talk about disordered eating—not from a clinical lens, but from the inside. From the lived experience of using food to cope, to numb, to distract from emotions we never learned how to feel.We talk about shame. About how messy and complex this healing can be. And how the silence around these struggles only adds to the pain.There's no perfect arc in this episode. Just a real, vulnerableconversation between a mother and daughter reckoning with inherited patterns—and choosing a different path.In this episode, we explore:*How our relationships with food became entangled with control, worth, and emotion*The unspoken shame around eating disorders and body image*Why emotional suppression often shows up in how we eat or don't eat*The healing power of naming what was never talked aboutWhy this matters:Because so many women are silently struggling.Because shame thrives in secrecy.And because healing—like this episode—is rarely tidy or linear.

What if endurance isn't about powering through, but about sitting under life's weight while looking to Jesus? This powerful sermon from Hebrews 12 challenges everything we think we know about endurance and reveals the life-changing difference between glancing at Jesus versus truly looking to Him.

What if your story didn't begin with shame or strength, but with Jesus? In this message, Pastor Jason explores the powerful truth behind the line from the Nicene Creed: “Through him all things were made.” From your body to your neighbor to the planet itself, everything in creation bears his fingerprints. This episode is a call to remember our Maker, reject cultural counterfeits, and reclaim our role as caretakers, not consumers of all that Jesus made and still holds together.

In a world full of fake promises and shallow saviors, how do we know who to trust? This week, Pastor Jason unpacks Hebrews 1:1–4 and the bold claim of the Nicene Creed: that Jesus is not a created being, but the eternal Son of God—begotten, not made. With stories, cultural insight, and gospel clarity, this message challenges us to reject the knockoff versions of Jesus and worship the One who alone can save.

The Book of PsalmsPsalm 19God has revealed Himself through both creation and Scripture—pointing us toward Him and showing us exactly how to know Him. When we truly see and hear His revelation, our only right response is worship, trust, and a life lived for His glory.Sermon Preached by Steve DuBransky on May 11, 2025Foothill Church exists to glorify God by living as disciples of Jesus who make disciples of Jesus. https://foothill.church Learn about our For the Sake of His Name 2-Year Discipleship Journey: https://foothill.church/FTSOHN

In a world overflowing with choices, allegiances, and competing voices, what does it mean to confess, "We believe in one God, the Father, the Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth"? This week, we explore the first article of the Nicene Creed and the invitation it offers us to re-anchor our lives in the one true God. Left to ourselves, we are prone to create idols, good things turned into ultimate things that eventually collapse under the weight of our hopes. But the Creed reminds us: there are not many powers to trust, only One, and He is enough. If you've ever felt scattered by the noise of modern life, or frustrated by the ways lesser allegiances have hollowed out much of the church's witness, you're not alone. This message offers both a warning and a hope: we don't have to keep building altars to things that can't save us. We can find our way back to the Source, the Sustainer, and the only Savior who will never fail. Join us as we uncover the grace, strength, and security that come from trusting the One and Only God.

Send us a textTherapy has long been shrouded in mystery, leaving many to wonder what actually happens once that office door closes. Steve Bisson pulls back the curtain on these therapeutic misconceptions with refreshing candor and humor. Gone are the days of viewing therapists as perfect, emotionless professionals who maintain rigid boundaries and never reveal their humanity.Swearing in therapy? Absolutely appropriate. As Steve explains, nothing says authenticity like a well-placed expletive that truly captures the emotion behind an experience. When clients and therapists can express themselves genuinely without filtering, real therapeutic work begins. The goal isn't pristine language but creating a space where raw emotions and experiences can be safely explored.Perhaps most revealing is Steve's assertion that therapists are fundamentally human. They think about clients between sessions, sometimes struggle with their own life challenges, and yes – many see therapists themselves. This humanity doesn't compromise their effectiveness but enhances it. When a therapist acknowledges their imperfections, it gives clients permission to embrace their own. There's something profoundly healing about knowing your therapist understands struggle not just academically but personally.Making mistakes is another area where therapy myths need debunking. Good therapists make mistakes, acknowledge them, and learn from them. Whether it's forgetting a name or misunderstanding a situation, these moments become opportunities to model healthy responses to imperfection. As Steve shares from his own practice, these transparent moments often strengthen the therapeutic alliance rather than damage it. The therapeutic journey becomes truly collaborative when both participants can learn from each other and grow together.What therapy misconceptions have you encountered?

A new slate of Christian movies and television shows is managing to draw both acclaim from critics and the attention of non-believers. Are the days of cringy Christian media finally behind us? Phil, Skye, and Kaitlyn discuss the impact of “The Chosen” and the new Amazon series, “House of David.” What do these shows get right that so many past faith-based projects got wrong? The Oscar-winning documentary, “No Other Land,” cannot find a distributor in the U.S. because critics say it's antisemitic, but Phil managed to watch it anyway. He offers his take on the movie, why it's controversial, and how we can distinguish between sinful antisemitism and legitimate criticism of the Israeli government. Then, Kaitlyn interviews Glenn Packiam about his new book about the Nicene Creed, “What's a Christian Anyway?” Packiam says the creed can be a beautiful lifeline to people caught in the crosswinds of church corruption and cultural confusion.

Bonus Episode: Check out this episode from our newest podcast, What We Find in the Dark with host Aubrey SampsonWhen we find ourselves in the dark after loss, big questions often follow: Where is God now? Why can't I see Him here? Why can't we sense His presence? How can I trust that God is good? Why did this happen?The deep theological wrestlings that often arise after the pain of grief can be jarring. But we need permission to ask the raw questions. We need a space to say them aloud. And we need a guide to help us find answers in the dark.In this first episode of the What We Find in the Dark Podcast, join host Aubrey Sampson and her guest, pastor and author Glenn Packiam, as they uncover what exactly entails a dark night of the soul, the questions that can emerge after a season of loss and grief, and why wrestling with God in our biggest questions is so important. If you find yourself struggling with a darkness and seeming silence from God, this conversation will help you see what may feel obscure in the darkest seasons of loss and grief. To learn more about how to navigate your own season in the dark, pick up host Aubrey Sampson's book *What We Find in the Dark: Loss, Hope, and God's Presence in Grief*https://a.co/d/iM1Oydl Watch or listen to all of theWhat We Find in the Dark Podcast episodes at nothingiswasted.com/whatwefind Connect with this episode's special guest, Glenn Packiam: Website: glennpackiam.comInstagram: instagram.com/gpackiam Facebook: facebook.com/gpackiamBook: What's a Christian, Anyway?: Finding Our Way in an Age of Confusion and Corruptionhttps://www.amazon.com/dp/1400248302?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&ref_=cm_sw_r_ffobk_cp_ud_dp_A5DFG79WBBDWJQC3J096_1&bestFormat=true&newOGT=1

Tasha shares about the journey she has been on to get back into church ministry.

The Church today has lost its way. We've pursued the wrong priorities, put our hope in personalities, and elevated popularity over spiritual maturity.

It's that time of year! The cold weather, the snow, the inability to go outside to walk the dog or enjoy nature, the darkness that prevails morning and night, tax season, the election; it seems everything contributes to an ongoing sense of gloom and doom.While it's common to feel temporarily "blue," it's important to recognize when those feelings escalate into Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) or clinical depression. For many, the winter months can be particularly challenging for mental health. Although we often hear the term "SAD," what are the actual diagnostic symptoms, and what effective remedies exist for managing this malady?Today's episode will take a deep dive into the mental health diagnosis of Seasonal Affective Disorder and explore the strategies that can help manage this condition. Our goal is to provide information that benefits not only those experiencing SAD, but also their friends and family who wish to offer support.Show Notes:https://www.nimh.nih.gov/health/publications/seasonal-affective-disorder.https://www.psychiatry.org/Patients-Families/Seasonal-Affective-Disorder.Https://Palousemindfulness.com.

DREAM WITH US, and we'll teach you how to interpret them!⁠⁠When we betray ourselves, we abandon our values, needs, or truths to gain approval or avoid discomfort. This leaves us disconnected, fragmented, and unsure of who we really are. These patterns often start in childhood, where conditional love or invalidation teaches us to hide our authentic selves to stay safe or gain acceptance. We see this in our daily lives—staying in unbalanced relationships, ignoring our emotions, overworking, or making choices that don't align with who we are. We justify it, suppress what we feel, or take on others' beliefs without realizing how much it costs us. Trauma can make this worse by teaching us to keep our needs small or invisible, while societal norms push us to conform and silence our inner voice. To heal, we need to reconnect with our true selves. That means facing the parts of us we've denied, listening to our intuition, setting boundaries, and taking small steps toward living in line with our values. This isn't easy, but it's how we find our way back to a life that feels whole, honest, and truly ours.Prepare to discover what it means to act against your own values and needs; how emotional suppression, societal pressures, and unresolved trauma shape behaviors that disconnect you from your true self; which thought patterns, emotional habits, and external influences drive actions that compromise your integrity; whether internal conflicts and unmet needs can be transformed through self-reflection; why aligning with your authentic self is essential for psychological growth, meaningful relationships, and living a fulfilling life...and so much more.FIND A COPY OF THE DREAM WE ANALYZE HERELOOK & GROW⁠Join THIS JUNGIAN LIFE DREAM SCHOOL⁠⁠Do you have a topic you want us to cover?⁠⁠WE NEED YOUR HELP!
