Podcasts about Good People

Culture tells us to just be a good person. In this message, Lead Pastor Phil EuBank addresses the most popular "religion" today—the belief that as long as we're better than the person next door, we're fine. When faith becomes a matter of moral comparison, we realize "good" is a moving target. Looking at Matthew 7, we see why "good works" are no substitute for a relationship with Jesus. Christianity isn't about bad people becoming good, but about dead people coming to life—and Jesus doesn't just want your "goodness"; He wants your heart.

Geoff Wilson is one of the most experienced adventurers in the world, with a particular affinity for wind powered travel. He's crossed Antarctica (and holds the world record for doing so), the Sahara Desert and the Simpson Desert, to name a few. His latest mission is to cross the Canning Stock Route, an 1,850km route regarded as the most remote 4WD track in the world, using wind power or human power alone. This episode was recorded on the reconnaissance mission to scout out the project, shot in the Tanami Desert just outside Billiluna, WA. Thanks Geoff for having us out there. In this episode, we discuss how a wind powered crossing actually works, why the people who've walked this track by camel say the vegetation makes it impossible, kiting into Billiluna and the kids who'd never seen a kite before, why he changes kites instead of persisting with one that half works, the ice bath course and the young vet who wouldn't put her toe in, suicide in veterinary science, losing his dad and his best mate in the same twelve months, and why he thinks hard times make good people. If you'd like to hear more adventures from Geoff, we sat down for a full length episode last year. #131 Geoff Wilson: A Life of Adventure — Spotify | Apple Podcasts | YouTubeYou may also enjoy these episodes: #124 Mark Mathews: Recreate the Fear — Spotify | Apple Podcasts | YouTube #156 Kitalé Wilson: How a Life of Adventure Taught Me to Slow Down — Spotify | Apple Podcasts | YouTube Listen and subscribe:SpotifyApple PodcastsYouTube Follow for more:Podcast InstagramKeegan's InstagramTikTokSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

How could someone come home, tell you they love you, laugh with you, make plans for the future, and still hide an affair? That contradiction is one of the most disturbing parts of infidelity. It can leave you questioning whether the loving moments were real, whether your partner was secretly a completely different person, and whether your entire relationship was some kind of carefully constructed illusion. In this episode, I explain how compartmentalization allows someone to separate their marriage, affair, values, and self-image into different mental categories. We will look at how partial truths, selective attention, and self-protective stories can help someone continue seeing themselves as a good person while repeatedly making choices that violate their own stated values. I also explain why describing an affair as “one mistake” can hide the many smaller decisions that made it possible, what genuine accountability actually requires, and why betrayed partners should look for more than affection or transparency when deciding whether someone is becoming trustworthy. If you are struggling to make sense of what happened, stop replaying the contradictions, or feel safe in your own judgment again, you can book a free call with me. We will talk through what you are experiencing, what you want to change, and whether my approach is the right fit for helping you move forward.

In this episode of The Business of Alignment, AJ Vaughan explores one of the most overlooked drivers of employee retention, productivity, and operational performance: caregiving benefits.From retail and healthcare to manufacturing, hospitality, education, and logistics, millions of frontline employees face impossible choices between showing up for work and caring for the people who depend on them. When organizations fail to support these realities, the costs extend far beyond absenteeism—they impact turnover, recruiting, staffing, customer experience, and profitability.AJ shares why he believes leaders should stop viewing caregiving benefits as an expense and start measuring them as a strategic investment. He also discusses why he's excited to partner with Good People and The Nanny Network to research the measurable business impact of caregiving support.In this episode:Why caregiving benefits deserve CFO-level attentionThe true cost of absenteeism and turnoverHow frontline industries are uniquely impactedWhy empathy and business performance can coexistThe research behind building a stronger business through employee supportIf your organization is serious about retention, workforce stability, and creating a better employee experience, this conversation is one you won't want to miss.

On this episode of Save The Date S2 E11, Jamie and Heath take on a question a lot of people are living with in real time: why do good people still end up in bad dating situations? The conversation looks at how dating burnout, emotional depletion, chemistry, validation, and hidden expectations can all distort the way people choose, connect, and stay. From people trying to force outcomes while already exhausted, to mistaking attraction for alignment, to accepting crumbs because they do not fully trust themselves to get the meal they actually want, this episode is a grounded reflection on what keeps dating so hard for earnest people. Jamie and Heath also talk about the difference between caution and emotional unavailability, why under-communication can be just as damaging as dishonesty, and how much pain could be avoided if people got clearer with themselves before trying to build with someone else. This is a thoughtful episode about dating, exhaustion, self-respect, and the kind of communication real connection still requires. #SaveTheDatePodcast #SoundCloudPodcast #ModernDating #SelfAwareness #EmotionalConnection

Summary Underperformance is often treated as a motivation problem when the real issue may be a lack of clarity, capability or confidence. Effective leaders resist the temptation to jump to conclusions and instead focus on understanding what's driving performance. By diagnosing before prescribing, asking better questions and creating clear expectations, leaders can prevent many performance issues before they occur.   Transcript Hello and welcome to episode 230 of the Leadership Today Podcast, where each week we share practical tips to improve your leadership. This week we explore four areas that will help you to diagnose likely performance issues before they become a problem. When someone in our team starts underperforming, it's remarkable how quickly we jump to conclusions. We see missed deadlines, lower quality work, reduced initiative or declining engagement and often assume we already know what's going on. They must have lost motivation. They've become complacent. They don't care as much as they used to. Before long, we've developed a story about the cause of the problem, often with very little evidence. One of the biggest mistakes leaders make when managing performance is assuming they know why someone is underperforming. We observe behaviour and immediately start interpreting it. The challenge is that while behaviour is visible, the causes behind that behaviour are often hidden. Two people can display exactly the same performance issue for completely different reasons. I was recently facilitating a workshop on managing underperformance and asked participants to think about someone in their team whose performance wasn't where they wanted it to be. The leaders could easily describe what they were seeing. They talked about missed deadlines, lower quality work, avoidance of difficult tasks, reduced initiative and a general drop in engagement. What was much harder was identifying why those behaviours were occurring. As the discussion unfolded, it became clear that most leaders were highly confident about the symptoms but far less certain about the causes. A useful way to think about performance is through four questions. Does the person know what good performance looks like? Can they do it? Do they believe they can do it? And do they want to do it? These questions point us towards four common drivers of performance: clarity, capability, confidence and motivation. Understanding which of these is getting in the way is often the difference between solving a problem and making it worse. For example, someone may avoid a task because they weren't aware it was important. Another might avoid it because they genuinely don't have the skills or experience to complete it effectively. Another person may avoid exactly the same task because they're worried they'll fail or look incompetent. Another person may avoid it because they simply don't see personal value in the task and have disengaged from the outcome. From the outside, all three situations can look identical. We see avoidance, hesitation or procrastination. What we don't immediately see is the reason behind it. This is why curiosity is such an important leadership skill. Rather than asking, "What's wrong with this person?", effective leaders ask, "What's getting in the way of this person's success?" That subtle shift moves us away from judgement and towards understanding. It encourages us to gather information before reaching conclusions and significantly improves our chances of providing the support people actually need. Research provides some useful insights here. Self-Determination Theory, developed by Edward Deci and Richard Ryan, suggests that people are more likely to be motivated when three psychological needs are met: competence, autonomy and relatedness. Competence is the feeling that we can do something well. Autonomy is having some choice and control over our work. Relatedness is feeling connected to others and to a broader purpose. What's particularly interesting is that competence sits at the foundation. When people don't feel capable, motivation often suffers as a result. Think about a time when you were asked to do something that felt completely outside your comfort zone. Perhaps you were asked to present to a large audience, lead a major project or take responsibility for something you'd never done before. Chances are you didn't immediately feel highly motivated. You may have procrastinated, delayed getting started or looked for reasons to avoid the task. Someone observing your behaviour might have concluded that you lacked motivation. In reality, the issue may have been capability, confidence or both. The same thing happens in our teams. Leaders often assume a motivation problem when the real issue is capability or confidence. The reverse can happen as well. Sometimes leaders invest heavily in training and development when the real issue is that someone no longer feels connected to the purpose of their work. Without understanding the cause, we're simply guessing. Another contributor to underperformance that often gets overlooked is clarity. Many performance issues begin long before performance actually declines. They start when expectations are vague, inconsistent or poorly communicated. I've worked with leaders who were frustrated that team members weren't demonstrating enough initiative, only to discover that nobody had clearly defined what initiative actually looked like. Different leaders had different expectations, making it almost impossible for people to consistently succeed. It's difficult to hit a target you can't clearly see. People are far more likely to perform well when they understand what success looks like, how their work contributes to broader goals and what standards are expected of them. Sometimes what appears to be an accountability issue is really an expectations issue. The conversation that needs to happen isn't about performance correction. It's about performance clarity. So what can we do as leaders? First, diagnose before you decide. When you notice a performance issue, resist the temptation to immediately label it as a motivation problem. Consider whether the issue might relate to clarity, capability, confidence or motivation. Gather information before reaching conclusions. Second, ask better questions. Questions such as "What's been most challenging about this?" or "What support would help you succeed?" often reveal far more than assumptions ever will. The quality of our diagnosis depends heavily on the quality of our questions. Third, focus on prevention rather than correction. The best underperformance conversation is often the one you never need to have because expectations were clear from the beginning. Invest time upfront defining success, checking understanding and providing regular feedback before problems emerge. Managing underperformance can be one of the most challenging aspects of leadership, but it becomes much easier when we replace assumptions with curiosity. Most people don't come to work intending to underperform. More often, something is getting in the way of their success. Our role as leaders is to understand what that obstacle is and help remove it. This week, think about someone whose performance isn't where you'd like it to be and ask yourself four questions: Do they know what good looks like? Can they do it? Do they believe they can do it? Do they want to do it? Your answers may completely change the conversation you need to have.

The old gods of Ireland never really died — they went under the hills, and people learned not to say their name. We follow the Tuatha Dé into folklore, where they become the fairies, the Sídhe, the Good People — and take the first step towards the changeling and the 1895 killing of Bridget Cleary.The episode cover image is a hawthorn tree, famously associated with fairies in Ireland.

Our topic today is hiring good people as a small practice. My guest and I don't have definitive answers, but we do have our own experiences – her as a practice owner, and me as a small business owner. Today is a discussion of our experiences and ideas. As with every episode of PracticeCare®, we hope it helps you out. Mary Lou Savino has been practicing physical therapy since 1992 and opened Be Fit PT & Pilates in 2008. She specializes in the use of Pilates as therapeutic exercise in rehab with an eclectic approach to incorporating Pilates, Dry Needling, Light Therapy and wellness modalities into treatments. Mary Lou has always been a fitness and health enthusiast, so her concept behind this integrated model was to be able to go beyond traditional PT and utilize things like light therapy, dry needling, Pilates and core strengthening, and massage therapies to be a more well-rounded practice and to be able to take PT to the next level. In this episode Carl White and Mary Lou Savino discuss: The challenges we see when hiring good people as a small practice Strategies – keeping your finger on the pulse of good people, your unique practice profile, and others as we talk it through!

"Why Do Bad Things Happen to Good People?" is an oft-asked question. In today's text we find this very question seemingly asked by Jesus' own disciples.

Have you ever wondered where God is when your prayers go unanswered? In this powerful Before & After, Chris and Nahomi Moore share their incredible journey through unimaginable loss, unwavering faith, and the hope they found in Christ. Then, Pastor Ed & Lisa Young sit down with Chris and Nahomi for an honest conversation about grief, healing, worship, and trusting God when life doesn't make sense.

Why do bad things happen to good people?It's one of the hardest questions anyone can ask—and one that every Christian will wrestle with at some point.In this episode, we're joined by Tucker Wallace as we discuss what Scripture says about suffering, free will, God's goodness, and why pain exists in a broken world. Together, we explore stories from Job, Adam and Eve, Jesus in Gethsemane, and more, while offering biblical encouragement for anyone walking through a difficult season.If you've ever asked, "Where is God when life hurts?" or "Why would God allow this to happen?" this conversation is for you.

Most people believe that if they're kind, honest, generous, and do more good than bad, God will accept them. But is that what the Bible actually teaches?In this study of Romans 3, we tackle one of the most important questions anyone can ask: Can being a good person save you? The Apostle Paul explains why every person—religious or not—stands guilty before God and why salvation cannot be earned through good works, morality, church attendance, or religious activity.Discover:• Why God's standard is higher than most people think• What the Bible means when it says "all have sinned"• Why good works can never save us• What justification by faith really means• How Jesus provides the righteousness we could never earn ourselves• The difference between religion and a relationship with GodWhether you're a Christian, exploring faith, or simply asking questions about heaven, salvation, and the meaning of life, Romans 3 contains answers that can change your eternity.

Letting someone go when they are a genuinely good person can mess with you more than you expect. They show up with a great attitude, the team likes them, and you want so badly for it to work out. But when their performance keeps falling short, you're left carrying the weight of a decision that feels personal, painful, and impossible to get right. In this Q&A Wednesday episode, Omar tackles a question sent in by Sharon, who's dealing with the tough reality of having to let go of someone she likes who just is not right for the role. Omar digs into why this situation is so hard for leaders, what makes it emotionally complicated, and how to know when keeping someone on is doing more harm than good. You'll hear what it really takes to handle this kind of decision in a way that respects the person while also protecting the business. If you've been dreading this kind of call or questioning how to handle a tough goodbye the right way, this episode will give you the clarity you need. Click play at the top of the page and learn how to deal with the hard part of leadership when a good person turns out to be the wrong employee for the job.

In Episode 228, Sarah, Catherine (@GilmoreGuide), and Chrissie (@ChrissieWhitley) take stock of the reading year so far, discussing the books, publishing trends, and industry chatter that have defined the first half of 2026. They dive into the biggest publishing stories of the year, the rise of "cozy everything," the continued influence of self-publishing and book-to-screen success stories, and whether it's possible to tap a Book of the Year before the second half of the publishing calendar arrives.

4th Sunday after Pentecost (Father's Day)Scripture Lesson: John 9:1-11 

At age 22, Sydney's Bennett's brain stopped communicating with her body correctly; she was suffering from Functional Neurological Disorder (FND), a condition in which the nervous system stops sending or interpreting signals the right way. Suddenly this bright, beautiful, college girl, recently married, was having seizures, numbness, difficulty moving. Soon she needed a cane, then a wheelchair. But, when we are weak, we are strong, and she found her rock in Jesus our cornerstone. Today she is a faithful and faith-filled advocate, mother of two, and (in the view of your host) present-day Job; and Job reminds us, “The Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away; blessed be the name of the Lord.” Sydney's book, Fearfully and Wonderfully Broken, on Amazon, and also from the publisher, Thomas Nelson, where you can listen to the first chapter of the audio book.
