Podcasts about Hard Times

Today's Bible Verse: "Rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, be in constant prayer." — Romans 12:12 What should you do when you're going through hard times? Romans 12:12 gives three simple but powerful ways to respond: remain joyful in hope, practice patience through difficult circumstances, and stay faithful in prayer. These aren't quick fixes, but they provide a biblical foundation for navigating seasons of stress, uncertainty, and hardship. Hard times can make it difficult to see beyond the present moment. Yet Christian hope reminds us that our circumstances don't have the final word. Patience helps us endure when answers don't come quickly, while prayer keeps us connected to the God who is with us through every season. When life feels overwhelming, these three practices can help anchor your heart in God's faithfulness. Want more encouragement throughout your week?

Upon exploring a random Gamelan station on Apple Music, Jay heard a song that reminded him of a song from the Nintendo Switch game, Mario Odyssey. That got him thinking about other video game music that sounds like songs we know and love, so he's bringing it back a classic segment! This is 8-bit.Songs:Gamelan Degung - “Gara Gara Cinta”Sonic 3 Ice Cap Zone sounds like “Hard Times” by The Jetzons (there maybe a good reason for that)Nobuo Uematsu - “Dancing Mad, 4th Movement (Final Fantasy VI)”Nick had a great staycation last week and brings back some songs to share on a Three for Thursday. YHWH Nailgun released a 10-track, eleven minute album that's somehow weirder than their last, Gong is still being explored, and 50 years ago this week, a little ditty by Herman's Hermits took the #1 spot on the charts.Songs:YHWH Nailgun - “Magazine”Gong - “Percolations Part I & Part II”Herman's Hermits - “I'm Henry VIII, I Am”This Heard It Through the GREGvine starts off with a detour to Where's One Tho? Then we learn about Henry Rollins and Ian Mackaye's mission to resurrect the music of their childhood heroes, The Cramps.Songs: Rush - “Limelight”Black Crowes - “Sting Me”Rolling Stones - “Start Me Up”The Cramps - “Goo Goo Muck”The Cramps - “Human Fly”Charlie Puth - “Attention (Tiny Desk Concert)”

Jesus, you make your home in me.Scripture: John 14:23 Resource: Prayer Starters:Talking to God about Hard Times by Suzanne Eller.

It's question time.Are the hard times in life causing you to question or lose your faith in God?The timing on this episode could not be better. I have been in a season I call the gray. I've talked about it on this podcast before, and I'm still in the middle of an extremely difficult season. So I'm not speaking to you from the outside looking in. I'm speaking to you from the middle of it.Is your faith only full during the good times? Do you only feel the presence of God when things are going your way? Is faith a feeling, or is it a deeply held resolve no matter what the circumstances are around you?Where is faith truly built? On the top of the mountain, or on the path to the peak?Life has seasons. Nothing lasts forever. This life is temporary. That does not make it less valuable, but it does mean whatever you are walking through will not be forever.God has been talking to me about trust. He said, “Quincy, if you can trust Me with eternity — which you have not seen — you can trust Me right now.”You cannot go on what you feel. You must go on what is resolved within you. That is what faith is.When you find yourself in the winter or the gray, that is often when the glory of God shows up more than ever. There is an opportunity in the place you are.Go backwards for a moment. Let your past be your professor. Reminisce about the times God has come through for you. Get into a mindset of gratitude whether you feel like it or not, and remember His faithfulness. It has been there.What is your faith rooted in? An experience? A feeling? Or something deeper?Are your disappointments currently speaking louder than your faith in God? There is an enemy who will drip toxicity in your ear and try to convince you that God has left you alone, that there is no point, that this is all there is. He hates your relationship. He hates your influence on your family. He plays the long game.Strength is not built without duress. Strength is not built without challenge. The same is true in your faith. The you of today needs the challenges in your life for the you of ten years from now.Prioritize your time with God. Praise Him even in the midst of the storm. God inhabits the praises of His people. Build the discipline of showing up until transformation comes.Audit your thoughts. Listen for the quiet dialogue rooted in disappointment. Ask God to search your heart. For years I lived with two lies deeply rooted in my heart that I was unaware of, and they were driving my behavior. Ask Him to show you anything offensive and surrender your ambitions to His good and perfect will.Do not lose heart. God is good. God is faithful. Even in the gray, He is faithful.The episode closes with an original song written from this journey called “In Your Victory”:“It's in the storm where faith is formed. It's in the war where I'm transformed. And it's in the gray where Your glory is shown.”Key Takeaways:Faith is a deeply held resolve, not a feeling reserved for good times.Hard seasons and “the gray” are often where real faith is built.Disappointments can become the doorway the enemy uses to attack your trust in God.If you can trust God with eternity, you can trust Him with right now.Strength (physical and spiritual) is built under pressure.Prioritize proximity with God — He does not love you less, but those who show up receive what He has to give.Ask God to search your heart for hidden lies that drive your behavior.Questionnaire / Reflection:Is my faith currently rooted more in my feelings and circumstances or in the character of God?What disappointment is speaking louder than the Word of God in my life right now?Have I been treating the easiest path as if it is the best path?What is one practical way I can prioritize time with God this week, even in the gray?Is there a lie I have been believing that I need God to expose and uproot?Connect & Prayer: If you want prayer as you walk through a hard season, email me: quincy@mvsmpodcast.comWebsite: https://quincymoran.com X: @quincywmoranFrom the Moran Family Studio — this is Man vs Marriage

hen we read God's Word, we're not alone. The Holy Spirit is with us and leading us, making this truth come to life to us in new and exciting ways. The Bible is the only book which reads us as we read it. I love this reflection of Psalm 121 from my good friend, Amy Lively, as it illustrates this so beautifully.  God led her to read this psalm while resting on a height, and deep insight gushed forth. Insight for her life, but also for ours, because God is cool like that. I hope this reflection is as timely for you as it has been for me. Amy Lively is an author and speaker who teaches God's Word as a “how-to” manual for loving him and loving others. Her most recent book, Can I Borrow a Cup of Hope? How to Find Faith for Hard Times in 1 Peter, shows how God transforms pain and suffering into hope and purpose. She is also the author of How to Love Your Neighbor Without Being Weird. Amy is a student at Asbury Theological Seminary, a business owner, community organizer, and active church member and small group leader. She has been married to David for 35 years! They have one grown daughter and divide their time between Colorado and Florida.

Redefining success through joy means learning that resilience is not always about pushing harder. It is knowing when to pause, heal, and find joy in the storm.Kelli Williams, healing-informed executive coach, business and marketing strategist, storyteller, and former nonprofit leader, joins Jaime Taets for a conversation about resilience, identity, guilt, people-pleasing, and redefining what success really means.Kelli opens up about the experiences that shaped her leadership, including being a teenage mother, navigating major career transitions, surviving domestic abuse, and leading a nonprofit through a crisis involving national attention, threats, and fear for her family. She shares how those moments taught her the difference between being strong and being resilient.Jaime and Kelli explore why resilience can mean resting instead of pushing through, how trauma responses show up in leadership, and why leaders need to give themselves permission to say, "I am not okay." They discuss how identity shifts over time, why guilt and people-pleasing can become exhausting patterns, and how finding joy in the storm is a choice leaders can make.Timestamped Chapters0:00 Introduction to Kelli Williams2:00 From Suffering to Wisdom to Service4:00 The Hidden Stories Behind the Highlight Reel6:00 Kelli Shares Her Experience as a Domestic Abuse Survivor9:00 Leading Through Crisis, Fear, and National Attention13:00 Why Being Strong Is Not Always the Same as Being Resilient15:00 Learning to Give Yourself Permission to Pause18:00 Understanding Trauma Responses and Healing21:00 Identity Shifts and Shedding Old Versions of Yourself25:00 Unlearning Guilt, Perfectionism, and People-Pleasing29:00 Redefining Success Through Happiness and JoyGuest BioKelli Williams is a healing-informed executive coach, business and marketing strategist, storyteller, and former nonprofit leader. Her work centers on helping people understand their stories, navigate change, build meaningful connections, and use their experiences to serve and inspire others.Kelli is also working on her first book, described as a love letter to the next generation of women in business, while continuing her work through coaching, storytelling, workshops, and teaching.Quotes from the Episode"Resilience can be being softer.""We can be in the storm and find joy at the same time.""It doesn't have to work out perfectly for you to be okay."Leadership InsightsWhat is resilience?Resilience is the ability to move through adversity while continuing to adapt, heal, and move forward. Kelli explains that resilience is not necessarily about staying strong during a crisis. It can also mean recognizing when you are tired, giving yourself permission to pause, and learning how to respond differently to difficult experiences.How can leaders find joy during difficult times?Leaders can find joy during difficult times by allowing themselves to acknowledge what they are experiencing instead of constantly forcing themselves to push through. Small practices such as movement, breathing, personal check-ins, and identifying moments of hope can help leaders reconnect with themselves while navigating uncertainty.Why do leaders struggle with identity shifts?As leaders grow, their identities naturally evolve. Kelli discusses how being a teenage mother, nonprofit leader, founder, or high-performing professional can become part of how someone defines themselves, but those identities do not have to determine who they are forever. Growth often requires shedding old identities without pretending those experiences never happened.ResourcesConnect with Kelli Williams on LinkedinConnect with Kelli Williams: legacyrising.com  Explore Jaime's Women's Executive Retreats.Explore Keystone Group International and its leadership, culture, and organizational growth work.Follow Jaime on Instagram, LinkedIn, and FacebookIf you have been waiting for permission to pause, rest, and find joy in the middle of the storm, this is your sign.

Whether you're facing hardship, searching for hope, or longing for a deeper relationship with Him, this biblical message will encourage you to find lasting joy that cannot be shaken by life's circumstances.

Hard seasons have a way of making us wonder if we should take the easier path.In "Where Are You With Doing Hard Things? | Doing Hard Things During Hard Times," we discover that while the world tells us to avoid discomfort, Scripture invites us to embrace faithful obedience—even when life is difficult. James reminds us that hardship isn't something to fear or avoid. It's often the very place where God develops endurance, strengthens our faith, and shapes us into the people He's called us to become.Following Jesus has never been about choosing the path of least resistance. It's about trusting Him enough to obey, even when obedience is costly. The good news is that while God calls us to do hard things, He never expects us to do them in our own strength. Jesus offers His presence, His peace, and His strength to carry us through every season.In this sermon, you'll discover:Why God calls His people to do hard thingsHow we often make difficult seasons heavier than they need to beThe difference between carrying the weight of obedience and the burden of disobedienceWhat it means to take on the yoke of Jesus and find rest in HimHow God meets us with strength when we faithfully follow His leadingThe question isn't whether life will be hard, the question is: Who are you trusting to carry you through it?Because God never promised an easy road.He promised to walk with us every step of the way.

Just a couple hundred meters from our church office, a missile struck an apartment building.It happened around 7:00 in the morning. Thankfully, I was still at home drinking my coffee when I heard the explosion. A few hours later, as I drove to church, I was met with a large traffic jam because the missile had hit the very road I travel every day.When I arrived at the office, I walked down the street toward the scene. I could see the top of the apartment building where the missile had struck. Three people had been killed.The top of the building that was hitLiving in Ukraine, these things affect us.We've now lived through more than four years of war. Missile strikes, drones, air raid sirens, and destruction have become part of everyday life. As I reflected on that morning, one thought kept weighing on my mind: the danger of a hardened heart.The Danger of a Hardened HeartOne of the effects of living in a war-torn country is that prolonged exposure to war, death, pain, and violence slowly hardens the heart. I've experienced this myself. The reality is that you cannot live through years of destruction and become emotionally overwhelmed every time another missile strikes. We develop ways to cope. But as Christians, we must be careful that those coping mechanisms do not become callousness. That's exactly what the enemy wants.The same thing happens spiritually. When sin surrounds us every day, we gradually become accustomed to it. What once grieved us no longer does. Suffering can have the same effect.I still remember the first morning of the full-scale invasion in February 2022. The explosions. The fear. The uncertainty. But then came the second day, the third day, the first month—and eventually the years. The temptation is to become numb. In fact, after this most recent missile strike, I found myself almost more frustrated by the traffic jam than by the explosion itself. I'm not saying that's a good thing. I'm saying that's the temptation.So how do we guard our hearts?Jesus Didn't Shy Away from Pain and SorrowThe answer begins by looking at Jesus. Isaiah describes the coming Messiah this way:He was despised and rejected by mankind, a man of suffering, and familiar with pain.Like one from whom people hide their faces he was despised, and we held him in low esteem. - Isaiah 53:3One of the great encouragements of the gospel is that Jesus never kept His distance from a broken world. He didn't avoid suffering. He walked straight into it. When we look at a world filled with war, sickness, injustice, and death, we realize we cannot fix it all. But Jesus entered into humanity's suffering and understands it better than anyone.Jesus Never Dismissed the Pain of OthersOne of the clearest examples is found in John 11. When Jesus came to the tomb of Lazarus, He found Mary, Martha, and the others weeping.When Jesus saw her weeping, and the Jews who had come along with her also weeping, he was deeply moved in spirit and troubled. - John 11:33Jesus knew He was about to raise Lazarus from the dead. Yet He didn't rush past their sorrow. He entered into it. He never dismissed their grief simply because He knew how the story would end.Jesus Had Deep Compassion for PeopleThroughout the Gospels, compassion is one of the defining marks of Jesus' ministry. He never treated people's pain as an interruption or inconvenience. He entered into their sorrow and walked alongside them. That's a great comfort for every believer. Whatever grief we carry, Jesus understands. He has experienced suffering Himself, and our Savior is never distant from the pain of His people.Jesus Was Indignant at InjusticeJesus' response to suffering was not only compassion. When a man with leprosy came begging to be healed, Mark writes:Jesus was indignant. He reached out his hand and touched the man... - Mark 1:41Jesus was angered by the effects of sin and the suffering it had brought into the world.bLiving through this war, I've felt that myself. Watching innocent Ukrainians suffer naturally stirs anger toward the evil that caused it. There is a place for righteous indignation—but we must be careful what we do with it.Jesus Did Not Stay Dwelling in GriefOne of the things I love about the Gospels is that Jesus never remained in sorrow. He entered fully into the suffering of others, yet He didn't allow Himself to marinate in grief. Again and again, we see Him entrusting Himself to His Father. Jesus understood that grief had its proper place, but it was never meant to become His dwelling place. That's an example we desperately need to follow.Jesus Made Time to Be with the FatherThroughout the Gospels we repeatedly find Jesus withdrawing to lonely places to pray. Again and again, He stepped away from the crowds to spend time with His Father.When we live in the middle of continual trauma, we need those same rhythms.Personally, I've found the book of Psalms to be one of the greatest helps. More than any trauma manual, the Psalms give voice to our grief while continually directing our hearts back to God.Jesus Carried Joy in the Midst of SufferingJesus was a man of sorrows, but He was also a man of joy. On the night before the cross, He prayed:I am coming to you now, but I say these things while I am still in the world, so that they may have the full measure of my joy within them. - John 17:13Think about that. Jesus spoke of joy as He walked toward the cross. That is one of the beautiful tensions of the Christian life. We experience grief, pain, and loss, yet at the same time we possess a joy that suffering cannot take away because it is rooted in Christ.Following Jesus in a World of SufferingOne of the unique realities of ministry in Ukraine is that suffering can produce two very different responses. God often uses pain to soften hearts and draw people to Himself. But prolonged suffering can also harden hearts.As followers of Christ, our calling is not to offer shallow answers. It is to follow the example of Jesus—to enter into the pain of others with compassion, to grieve over injustice, to remain close to the Father, and to hold fast to the joy that only He can give.May God guard our hearts from becoming hardened. And may He help us reflect the heart of Christ in a world that desperately needs the hope of the gospel.

Jo Dee Messina has a long career in the music industry: number one hits, platinum and gold records, many awards. She's a country music icon. Jo Dee just released Bridges, her first new album in 12 years and those were 12 years filled with some tough times. Her marriage ended, leaving her as a single mom of two boys, both her parents died, and Jo Dee battled cancer, completed treatment, and is cancer free. She's reluctant to talk about those events but is very happy to talk about her relationship with her Christian faith, which she says has been a constant source of comfort and guidance ever since she turned to it amid her struggles. Is leaning on religion for guidance really all that different from the secular approach of identifying your own wise mind? And if, as Jo Dee believes, everything that will happen is written and planned by a higher power, why do tragedies and pain exist? Jo Dee's been thinking about that and has some very recent insights. All this, plus Jo Dee Messina belting out a couple of songs. Thank you to all our listeners who support the show as monthly members of Maximum Fun.

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit jimhightower.substack.comGreetings, Lowdowners! When I was down visiting with Hightower in May, I asked him a question that I've always wanted to know the answer to, but never put directly to him: Why did he decide to run for office? Before he became Agriculture Commissioner, he had been a legislative aide to Sen. Ralph Yarborough in Washington, the founder and co-director of the Agribusiness Accountability Project (which produced Hard Tomatoes, Hard Times), then a journalist and editor at the Texas Observer. What brought on the desire to become an elected official? And why this office?His answer took us through an adventure of what activism can look like when you take the outside inside, and you run a real grassroots campaign based on the values of the people you're hoping to represent.Transcript:Well, for me, I was born a populist. I didn't know it. And I was taught about populism.The essential political essence of populism is that too few people control too much of the money and power, and they use that control against the rest of us to get more money and power for themselves. So that's the great fight of American politics, in the big scale, but also in the very local scale.

A Prayer to Stand Strong in Hard Timeshttps://www.youtube.com/@liveandlaugh2025-y8lhttps://lifemotivationdaily.blogspot.com/

Born without arms, Daniel Ritchie, Vice President of the Southern Baptist Convention, shares that life can be really hard, and circumstances will often disappoint. But Romans 15:13 points us to a God who is not just a giver of hope but the very source of it. Christian hope is not fragile or dependent on outcomes. It is grounded in the unshakeable reality that Jesus reigns and His story ends in victory. Joy is not a feeling tied to circumstances but a choice available to every believer. Peace comes through prayer and intentional practice, not through getting life to cooperate. God is not looking for polished, perfect people to use. He is looking for ordinary people who trust an extraordinary God and let His hope overflow into the world around them.
