Why did Jesus give us communion and baptism? In this message, Pastor Mark Boettcher unpacks 1 Samuel 7:12 — where Samuel sets up the Ebenezer stone after Israel's victory over the Philistines — and shows how a simple, unremarkable stone became sacred because of what it pointed to: God's faithfulness. We are forgetful people. We forget the vows we've made, the promises we've broken, and where we've placed our hope — and that's exactly when the enemy moves in. Communion and baptism exist to help us remember. And baptism, specifically, is how we plant the flag: a public declaration that while I breathe, I hope.

What if you haven't officially quit, but somewhere along the way, you stopped really trying? You're still showing up. You're still doing what needs to be done. But the energy, hope, and drive you once had are gone.In this episode of The Driven Introvert, I'm sharing three signs you may have quietly given up, and what it can look like to push through hard times when disappointment, failure, or overwhelm have taken more out of you than you realized.I also share a personal story from one of the hardest seasons of my life. After earning my master's degree, I struggled for years to find meaningful work. I applied for jobs, faced rejection after rejection, and eventually reached a moment when I knew: this is where people give up.I was sitting at my kitchen counter, crying over yet another rejection email, when I had to make a decision. Would I stop trying? Or would I get up and do the next thing I could do?In this episode, we'll talk about three signs you may be stuck: you've stopped moving, you've stopped believing in possibilities, and you've stopped fighting for your own dreams. We'll also talk about what those signs can look like in everyday life—and why recognizing them isn't about judging yourself. It's about becoming aware enough to get unstuck.And if you're an introvert who feels overwhelmed by the constant noise, negativity, expectations, and energy of the world around you, there's a part of this conversation especially for you. Sometimes the question becomes, “What's the point?” What's the point in dreaming again, trying again, or putting yourself out there again?But you don't have to fix everything around you to push through hard times. Sometimes you simply need one positive action. One prayer, one conversation, one idea you're willing to revisit, or one small step toward the life and work you know you still care about.If you've been wondering how to get unstuck after disappointment, failure, or a long season of feeling drained, I hope this episode reminds you that you can begin again. You may have slowed down. You may have lost hope. You may even realize that you've quietly given up.But you can still push through hard times, take the next step, and start moving again.What is one positive action you can take today?Thanks for being here!

Jacinda Ardern is a history-maker.As Prime Minister of New Zealand at 37, she became only the second woman in the world to give birth while in office. But it was her leadership style that defined her time at the top, leading with empathy and kindness in the face of back-to-back tragedies, and showing the strength of coming together.From growing up in small-town New Zealand singing country and western duets with her sister at the local community hall, to raging to Smashing Pumpkins in her first car with a discman plugged into the cassette deck, Ardern's musical taste has always been eclectic and deeply personal. She's the teenager who loved alternative music and heavy metal while being a dedicated student rep raised in the Mormon faith, and the world leader who chose a drum and bass track as her walk-on song.Her career path was never straightforward. She ran from the possibility of becoming a politician, buying a one-way ticket to New York to escape the suggestion she should run for office. But a sense of responsibility (what she calls her "oversized sense of duty"), kept pulling her back. In 2017, everything changed in a single year: a by-election, deputy leadership, then the top job itself, all while secretly pregnant. She led her country through the Christchurch mosque shootings, the Whakaari White Island eruption, and a global pandemic, all while insisting that being human is not a weakness.This episode was filmed for Season 5 of Take 5 with Zan Rowe at the Australian Chamber Orchestra's studios on Sydney Harbour. Jacinda caught the ferry to the location, rolling up without any entourage, proving just how down-to-earth she is. She was candid, emotional, and generous in exploring her extraordinary life across five songs. The theme that emerged was clear: optimism as a courageous act, and the enduring power of being useful.Jacinda Ardern's song choices: Smashing Pumpkins - 'Bullet With Butterfly Wings'Fat Freddy's Drop - 'Wandering Eye'Cat Stevens - 'Peace Train'The Mountain Goats - 'This Year'Shapeshifter - 'Stars'00:00 Introduction: Jacinda Ardern Made History00:54 "They Are Us": Leading with Empathy and Kindness01:04 Filming Take 5 with a Former PM01:56 Extended Podcast Edit: The Most Eclectic Song List of the Season02:02 Childhood in Rural New Zealand: The Record Player at Home02:26 Roy Orbison, ABBA, and Parents' "Slightly Different Era" Taste03:02 The Country and Western Club: Every Friday Night at the Community Hall03:26 Singing Duets with Sister Louise: "She's the One Holding the Microphone"04:03 "Don't It Make My Brown Eyes Blue" and the Christmas Special04:58 Sister's Pop vs. Her Alternative: Cypress Hill, Rage Against the Machine05:11 Smashing Pumpkins: 'Bullet With Butterfly Wings'05:53 Growing Up in Morrinsville: Dairy Farms and $20 a Week at the Fish and Chip Shop06:02 The Discman in the Car: Cassette Adapters and Judder Bars06:39 The Multi-Change CD Player: "The Most Exciting Thing"07:02 The Walkman and Sister Louise: "I've Never Gotten Over It"07:44 Playing Every CD to Death: "You Valued Every One"08:01 Teenage Angst: Rage Against the Machine, Metallica, Pantera, Nine Inch Nails08:21 Smashing Pumpkins: "Both the Lyrics That Spoke to Teenage Angst and Great Music"08:52 Melon Collie and the Infinite Sadness: A Double Album for the Multi-CD Player09:15 "Despite All My Rage, I'm Still Just a Rat in a Cage"09:29 An Earnest Teenager: Raised in Religion, Student Rep, Working Hard10:13 Not a Headbanger: "My Mother Would've Taken Me to a Chiropractor"10:44 Parents Respected Their Own Musical Taste and Belief Systems11:26 Born in Hamilton, Then Murupara: First Observations of Poverty and Inequality12:00 "A Place That Made Me Quite Political"12:29 Writing the Book: How Do You End Up in Politics?12:48 "All of It Contributes to How You Come to Be the Person You Are"13:15 The Kinship Between Australia and New Zealand13:44 Empathy and Awareness: Seeing What Affects People14:17 Father the Policeman: "Power as a Responsibility"14:40 "Being Useful Is a Driving Force"15:04 Fat Freddy's Drop: 'Wandering Eye'15:13 Moving to Wellington in the Early 2000s15:46 Sworn In as PM: Fat Freddy's Drop Playing on Parliament Steps16:08 Carpooling on a Bus Instead of Crown Cars16:33 "Sitting at the Base of the Steps, Just Playing for Us"17:00 A Full Circle Moment: Unexpected PM, Secretly Pregnant18:29 First Job in Parliament: Interning in Wellington18:57 "I Couldn't Possibly Be a Politician"19:36 People Identifying the Leader in Her Before She Did20:22 The Beehive: Flatting and a Normal Life in Her 20s21:06 Still a Practicing Mormon in Her Early 20s21:25 Cognitive Dissonance: Progressive Politics and the Church21:50 Campaigning for Equality on Saturday, Church on Sunday22:02 Leaving the Church: "Something Had to Give"23:08 Running from Politics: A One-Way Ticket to New York23:36 London, Then Coming Back to New Zealand23:55 "Two Dueling Wolves": Imposter Syndrome vs. Responsibility24:18 Putting Herself Forward: "Turns Out I Was Wrong"24:42 2017: Everything Happened in One Year24:47 By-Election, Deputy Leader, Then Leader Nominated25:28 Waiting for Winston Peters: Finding Out on the 6pm News25:39 Secretly Pregnant During Coalition Negotiations27:27 Malcolm Turnbull Calling to Congratulate27:49 Cat Stevens: 'Peace Train'28:11 Mrs. Bean's Class: Bursting Into Tears as a Child28:55 Yusuf Islam Coming to New Zealand After the March 15 Terror Attack29:30 Peace Train at the Memorial Service: "A Song of Hope in Hard Times"30:00 Feeling the Same Way as a Child and as an Adult31:18 Has Hope Always Led You Through Your Life?31:35 Ernest Shackleton: "Optimism Is True Moral Courage"32:10 Actively Choosing to Be an Optimistic Person33:13 The Christchurch Mosque Shootings: Finding Out in Bits34:01 Frustration and Anger: "A Manifesto of Hate"34:47 "Simply a Human Response": Why Emotion Isn't Weakness35:56 Learning from the Muslim Community: "They Opened Their Arms"37:25 "A Sadness I'll Carry for the Rest of My Life"37:42 Processing Grief: "I'll Never Set That Down"38:21 The Mountain Goats: 'This Year'38:39 The Song of the Year Tradition39:18 "I Am Gonna Make It Through This Year If It Kills Me"40:09 Keeping the Faith in Opposition: Purpose and Team Cohesion41:19 Christchurch, Whakaari, COVID: "It Was Relentless"42:52 Car Time Was Solo Time: Losing That as Prime Minister44:04 Elton John's "Still Standing" and the Earthquake on Live TV44:56 "The Universe Has to Let Up at Some Point"45:02 Knowing It Was Time to Go45:43 "Nothing Left in the Tank"46:03 Not "Spending More Time With Family": The Language of Leaving46:54 "I Am Human.

Boss Riot joins The Austin Young Show to talk about Here We Go Again, their newest album and a record shaped by some very real challenges. Made during COVID while members of the band were dealing with surgeries, cancer, loss, recovery, heartbreak, fear and hope, the album became a reflection of everything life was throwing at them. We talk about the song “Don't Grow Up Too Fast,” the role music can play when things get difficult, the band's roots in ska, rocksteady, reggae and soul, and what it takes to keep a band alive for more than a decade. It's a conversation about music, getting older, dealing with the hard stuff and finding reasons to keep creating anyway. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Kevin Nash sits down for another unfiltered episode of Kliq This, diving headfirst into a chaotic mix of life stories, pop culture, and sports nostalgia. The wrestling legend opens up about the harsh realities of childhood dental trauma, contrasting his early encounters with old-school dentists against modern dental care, while also pondering bizarre medical advancements on the horizon like growing back teeth by 2030. The conversation shifts into unexpected gear as the hosts tackle urban legends, moon landing conspiracies, and the realities of modern travel. From sharing candid thoughts on visiting Pittsburgh to navigating the peculiar social etiquette of attending late-stage weddings in casual attire, Nash delivers his trademark deadpan humor and unapologetic hot takes on the absurdity of daily life. Rounding out the episode, the discussion touches on the unpredictable nature of pet care, college football weekend chatter, and everything in between.

Donald Rothberg helps us lean into dharma wisdom to navigate the difficult realities of our world without becoming numb, overwhelmed, or cynical. We often focus our Buddhist practice solely on personal meditation, but Donald reminds us that true path-walking spans wisdom, meditation, and ethical care for the broader world. Looking back to early Buddhist history and figures like Emperor Ashoka, Donald shows us that spiritual practice has always held a vital social dimension alongside individual awakening. He offers a practical eight-part framework for modern times, guiding us to bring clarity, deep heart, and active care to today's complex landscape.Donald outlines eight key principles to help us weave our spiritual practice into daily life and social action:Grounding in Vision: We stay connected to our core vision of wisdom, love, and awakening so we don't lose our direction during challenging times.Connecting Inner and Outer: We unite our personal meditation practice with outward care, integrating self-transformation with active service to others.Applying Wisdom to Society: We recognize how greed, hatred, and delusion operate not just within our own minds, but also as institutionalized forces in the wider world.Practicing with Difficult Emotions: Instead of turning numb to troubling news, we use mindfulness and group connection to process accumulated grief, anger, and fear.Maintaining Joy: We keep contact with wonder, music, and delight, remembering that joy is an inherent part of our being that sustains us through hardship.Grounding in Ethics: We practice non-harming in our personal relationships while taking active steps to address larger harms in our society.Grounding in Community: We cultivate meaningful, in-person connections to support one another and create a beloved community.Listening for Our Calling: We discover our own unique way to respond, focusing on what makes us come alive to meet the needs of the world.______________Donald Rothberg, Ph.D., is a member of the Teachers Council at Spirit Rock Center, a guiding teacher for the Marin Sangha in San Rafael, California, and a regular teacher at the East Bay Meditation Center in Oakland, California, Southern Dharma Retreat Center, InsightLA, and New York Insight.He teaches retreats and groups on concentration and insight meditation practice, lovingkindness practice, transforming the judgmental mind, mindful communication, working skillfully with conflict, and socially engaged Buddhism.He has practiced insight meditation since 1976, and has also received training in Tibetan Dzogchen, body-based psychotherapy, and trauma work. He has helped guide many six-month to two-year training programs in socially engaged spirituality, both Buddhist-based and interfaith, and is the author of The Engaged Spiritual Life: A Buddhist Approach to Transforming Ourselves and the World, and the co-editor of Ken Wilber in Dialogue.Learn more at https://donaldrothberg.com ______________  To support our efforts to share these talks with LGBTQIA audiences worldwide, please visit https://gaybuddhist.org/There you can:   Donate  Learn how to participate live  Find our schedule of upcoming speakers  Join our mailing list or discussion forum Enjoy over 900 recorded talks dating back to 1995CREDITSAudio Production: George HubbardProducer: Tom BrueinMusic/Logo/Artwork: Derek Lassiter

Help for Hard Times- Part 2

Dave & Dakota Talk Wrestling's Bad Guys Dave and Dakota step into the squared circle to talk about the bad guys of professional wrestling, from legendary heels and dirty cheaters to arrogant assholes who made an entire arena want to throw a chair through the television. They look at the wrestlers fans loved to hate, the villains who were so damn good at being terrible that they became legends, and the ones who crossed the line from entertaining asshole to “somebody needs to kick this guys ass.” Expect arguments, hot takes, ridiculous stories, old-school wrestling memories, and plenty of profanity as Dave and Dakota debate who deserves the crown as wrestling's biggest bastard. Because in wrestling, being the good guy might get you the applause... but being a really good asshole gets you remembered.

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?

Keeping team members motivated during periods of high growth is pretty easy. There's natural excitement around the office. Everyone is busy, and there is energy in the air. But sooner or later, every business hits a plateau. And getting over that next hump sometimes takes a little time. As a leader, you want to reward your best team members, but what happens when your margins just won't allow additional salary or bonuses? In our early days, I was investing everything back into my company and sometimes working 60-hour weeks. One morning, my hotshot tech expert came into my office and told me he had accepted an offer from another company. It was a gut punch. He was so young and talented that, in my head, I saw him running our whole marketing team in the near future. But, unfortunately, I never told him that. We didn't have the margins to expand yet, so I never had those conversations. And when he left, all those growth plans got pushed back another year. Interestingly, there are a few different ways to motivate employees that cost nothing (except a few moments of your time). And maybe, they'll keep those hotshots in your own company from looking elsewhere. And if you do these things often enough, your bottom line will likely increase so you can pay your team more as you break through that plateau.Show Notes: How to Motivate Employees Without Paying Them More(https://www.inc.com/doug-staneart/how-to-motivate-employees-without-paying-them-more/91384016)

Send us a voice noteIn this Earthkeepers Essentials archive episode, Wes Willison shares his journey from political awareness to ecological engagement, exploring how faith, community, and practical actions like gun decommissioning serve as acts of hope and transformation. In particular, he and Forrest explore ways in which we can resist despair and practice grace for ourselves in a world fraught with really difficult and sometimes overwhelming problems. In that framework, they discuss the importance of sacramental practices in environmental and social justice work, and how surprise and resilience shape our response to a challenging future. Information: Wes WillisonShane ClaiborneThe Simple Way communityKey  Topicso   Wes Willison's background and journey into earth careo   The role of seminary and the Farminary project in ecological understandingo   The significance of sacramental practices in environmental worko   The process of decommissioning guns as a symbol of hope and transformationo   The impact of political shifts and generational perspectives on climate anxietyo   Coping mechanisms for depression and anxiety related to climate changeo   The potential for surprise and new hope in political and ecological contextso   The importance of community, faith, and practical action in shaping a sustainable future Keywordsecology, faith, social justice, gun decommissioning, community, hope, sacrament, environmental activism, mental health, generational change, depression, self-care, Princeton Farminary, compost theology, Norm Wirzba Some TakeawaysSacramental practices can serve as powerful acts of hope and transformation in social and ecological justice.Engaging with the earth through work like composting and farming reveals God's presence in creation.Decommissioning guns and repurposing their parts into art and tools symbolizes hope and healing.Surprise is a key indicator of the Spirit's activity and a source of hope in dark times.Coping with climate anxiety involves intentional practices of rest, community, and engagement. Find us on our website: Earthkeepers Support the Earthkeepers podcast Check out the Ecological Disciple

Hey, Comedy Lovers! ✤ Welcome to "Ian Lara" ⭐ All advice is bad advice, please do adult things and put this podcast on in the background.

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
