Podcasts about growing together

We live in a world that constantly measures people by what we can see: their success, appearance, influence, wealth, background, or what they can offer us. But followers of Jesus are called to see people differently. In “Growing Together,” we continue our journey through the book of James and discover how favoritism can quietly shape the way we see and treat others. James 2:1-13 challenges us to examine our judgments and allow God's mercy to transform the way we value, love, and respond to the people around us. Spiritual maturity isn't only revealed in what we believe; it's also revealed in how we treat others.Support the show

We continue in our sermon series How We Grow Together. As disciples, all Christians are on a lifelong journey of growing into the likeness of Christ by faith. The Bible's normal setting for a Christian's growth is within, rather than apart from, the local church. In this fourth and final sermon of our series we take up the question, “How do we grow together as Christians who are also sinners?” Christians don't abandon wayward saints; they restore them.

Good seed and bad weeds are growing side-by-side; why does the Master not seem to care? He is waiting for the fruits to appear. If we don't weed our hearts, we will bear bad fruit. And we will face the fire at harvest time.

We continue in our sermon series How We Grow Together. As disciples, all Christians are on a lifelong journey of growing into the likeness of Christ by faith. The Bible's normal setting for a Christian's growth is within, rather than apart from, the local church. In this second part we go to the beginning of Paul's letter to a deeply messed up church.

Today we begin a new sermon series, How We Grow Together. As disciples, all Christians are on a lifelong journey of growing into the likeness of Jesus by faith. Remarkably, the Bible's normal setting for a Christian's growth is within, rather than apart from, the local church. In this first week we will begin in Hebrews where the author urgently points out the need we have for regular, intentional relationships bent upon our spiritual good. We'll see that we must help one another hold firm to Christ, lest our hearts harden through sin's deceit. Audio | Notes | Hebrews 3:12-14

Church growth is a gift, but it comes with real challenges. In Acts 6, the early church faced a crisis when rapid growth caused some of its most vulnerable members to be overlooked. Rather than slowing down or shutting the doors, the apostles restructured, delegated responsibility, and built a team capable of caring for everyone. The result was not less growth but more. A healthy church grows relationally, not just numerically, and every believer plays a role in making sure no one slips through the cracks. That means connecting with people you do not know yet, interceding for one another, inviting people into your everyday life, and serving where there is a need. Rest is also part of the equation, because sustainable faithfulness matters more than burning out. The mission has not changed: making disciples who carry the presence of Jesus into every area of life.Support the show

In the final week of our Building Together series, we look at what the New Testament teaches about church growth. Should a local church care about growing? Should we aim to reach more people, make more disciples, and expand the work of ministry?From Acts 2, Matthew 28, and other New Testament passages, we see that the early church was constantly growing because it was committed to the mission Jesus gave: to glorify God by making authentic disciples who love and worship Him in all they do.As Walnut Creek Church looks toward the future, we are praying, giving, and growing together so that more people in Altoona and the surrounding communities would come to know Jesus for generations to come.

In this episode of Bottled Up, Andrew Allen interviews Reform Pilates studio owners Brandon Pike and Christina Pike. Christina shares her journey from nursing to running three Pilates studios on the Gulf Coast, beginning with nutrition coaching before expanding into fitness instruction. Brandon explains his role handling business operations and design, while Christina leads client relationships and classes. The conversation covers the studios' growth, how they balance client experience with expanding capacity, and the importance of building a supportive, tight-knit instructor team. They also discuss their approach to competition, why each location offers different fitness modalities, and their organic, passion-driven business philosophy. The episode closes with advice for listeners who want to join classes and a look ahead at what's next for their family and business.
 3 Key Listener Takeaways 1. Organic Business Growth Fueled by Passion and Community Needs Christina Pike and Brandon Pike described how their Pilates business started organically and unintentionally. Christina Pike began by helping friends with nutrition and accountability coaching, something that sprang from her own background in nursing and love of fitness. Her transition into opening a Pilates studio was driven not by a grand business plan but by client requests and her own desire to continue helping people. Their growth to multiple locations came from responding to community demand, referrals, and staying attentive to what their clients wanted, rather than aiming for rapid expansion. 2. Intentional Culture Centered on Relationships and Experience The Pikes put heavy emphasis on building a welcoming, intimate, and relationship-driven environment at their studios. Class sizes are deliberately kept small to maintain an individualized and friendly feel, allowing instructors to truly get to know and support their clients. Brandon Pike stressed how this atmosphere drives strong retention and sets them apart from bigger, impersonal studios. They also emphasized the positive, non-competitive culture among instructors, which, in turn, supports a happy, supportive client community. 3. Adaptation, Balance, and Staying True to Core Values The growth of their business, from one-on-ones to three studios, required adapting and trusting the opportunities that came their way. However, Christina Pike emphasized the importance of avoiding distractions from industry competition or trendy new fitness offerings. Instead, they focus on delivering what they do best and staying true to their vision and core values. Future expansion will only happen if it fits with these principles and their ability to maintain quality, rather than chasing growth for growth's sake.

Many couples ask us this question: Why doesn't my marriage feel like it did in the beginning?The truth is, just like each year, our marriage has different seasons where intimacy can feel different. Passion can ebb. Connection sometimes requires effort. Somewhere along the way, we absorb the myth that a healthy marriage should always feel like spring, blossoming romance, effortless sex, deep conversation, constant emotional closeness.But real marriage isn't a single season. Like nature, your relationship moves through cycles. Emotional intimacy shifts, sexual desire fluctuates, and spiritual connection deepens, or feels quite distant at times. These changes aren't signs of failure, they're just natural signs of life. In this episode, we explore the infatuation stage, and the four seasons of marriage and intimacy and how to not only survive each season, but thrive. Understand the season you're in, stop panicking, and learn how to nurture your marriage through every stage.

Step into Episode 204 of On The Delo as Delo sits down with Teddy, a fifth-generation Arizona native and co-founder of Pretty Decent Concepts, for a wide-ranging conversation about music, grit, marriage, and building one of Phoenix's most creative restaurant groups from the ground up. From touring the country on $7 a day with his rock band Hollywood Heartthrob to winning a million-dollar raffle and losing it all chasing the music dream — and then betting everything on Downtown Phoenix before anyone else believed in it — Teddy's story is a masterclass in persistence, pivoting, and playing the long game.The conversation covers how Teddy and his wife Katie built their restaurant group concept by concept, starting with a bootstrapped Chico Malo at Cityscape in Downtown Phoenix, navigating chef drama and a complete menu overhaul weeks before opening, opening and ultimately shuttering Chico Malo Miami after a four-year battle with neighbors, and doubling down on Tempe when everyone said it couldn't work. Teddy also shares the creative philosophy behind their cinematic concepts, why he treats every restaurant like an album, how collaboration with talent like Scott Conant on the upcoming Roman God of Fire sets them apart, and why a rising tide lifts all ships when it comes to building great neighborhoods. If you're in hospitality, entrepreneurship, or just love the Arizona food scene, this episode is packed with real insight and great stories.Chapter Guide (Timestamps):(0:00 - 1:41) Delo's Intro, Episode 204, and Welcoming Teddy(1:42 - 3:34) Fifth-Generation Arizona Roots, Sun Devil Marching Band, and West Side Phoenix(3:35 - 7:19) Hollywood Heartthrob, Warped Tour, Record Label, and Music Industry Lessons(7:20 - 10:57) Every Failure Translates: Business Lessons from Music to Restaurants(10:58 - 13:49) Building with Katie: Partnership, Marriage, and 17 Years of Growing Together(13:50 - 17:03) Life on Tour, $7 a Day, and Katie Running Merch on the Road(17:04 - 18:25) Winning the Million-Dollar Health & Wealth Raffle and Taking the Cash Option(18:26 - 24:36) Opening Chico Malo: Downtown Phoenix, Chef Drama, Menu Pivots, and the Underdog Win(24:37 - 26:38) Chico Malo Miami: COVID, Hotel Rooms with a Toddler, and Knowing When to Walk Away(26:39 - 32:18) Betting on Tempe: Filthy Animal, Doubters, a Rising Tide, and the ASU Generation(32:19 - 36:10) Pat Tillman, Jake Plummer, ASU Lore, and the Rose Bowl Memory(36:11 - 38:23) Roman God of Fire, Scott Conant, Forgive Me Father, and What's Opening in June(38:24 - 40:48) Wren and Wolf, the California Group That Never Opened, and Downtown Phoenix Today(40:49 - 44:31) Rapid Fire: Coffee, Aliens, Bench Press, Richardson's, and Rapid-Fire Wrap-Up

Sermon audio from week 3 of our series "Growing Pains." Sunday March 15, 2026.

How should we approach helping children and young people grow in their faith? What does the Bible have to say to that question? And how can parents, church leaders and children and youth workers best work together?In this episode Revd Dr Nick Moore, Warden of Cranmer Hall, speaks to Revd Sarah Strand, Dean of Anglican Formation at Cranmer Hall, about her new book, co-authored with Rev Dr Emma Parker, Growing Together in Faith: Thinking Theologically about Ministry with Children and Teenagers, which was released in 2025.

What does spiritual maturity actually look like? Ephesians 4 reveals it's not a solo journey but something that happens when every believer leans into their unique gifts and builds others up with truth and love. Real maturity isn't about personal achievement. It's about becoming part of something bigger together. Listen now and be inspired to grow into the fullness of what Christ has already given you.

In Part 2 of this two-part conversation, Marta and Dr. Jennifer Finlayson-Fife explore what it truly means to love in a way that allows both people to grow, remain connected, and stay true to themselves.This episode focuses on differentiation, emotional maturity, and the lifelong work of self-authorship — how we move beyond enmeshment, control, or self-erasure and into relationships rooted in awareness, responsibility, and respect.Together, they reflect on marriage, parenting, generational patterns, and the courage it takes to repair, listen, and keep becoming even when it's uncomfortable.This is a grounded, human conversation about love as growth, connection as choice, and the sacred work of becoming whole without standing alone.

As Christ the Center closes out another year of weekly theological conversation, this special episode reflects on God's faithfulness throughout 2025 by revisiting the most-watched and most-listened-to episodes of the year.

The episode also celebrates significant ministry milestones: thousands of students served through Reformed Academy, international reading cohorts across six continents, new books published, and the largest theology conference in Reformed Forum's history. Framed by the theme "Growing Together into Christ" (Ephesians 4:15–16), this highlights episode not only looks back with gratitude but looks forward with confidence—inviting listeners to partner in the ongoing work of theological education for the church worldwide.
