Podcasts about Helper

In this revisited Think Thursday episode of the Alcohol Minimalist podcast, Molly Watts returns to a timely and deeply relevant conversation about our brilliant human brains and how we can consciously shift from fear to purpose. Originally aired in January during a time of political unrest and uncertainty, this episode reminds us that fear—though natural—is not a permanent state.Molly explores how neuroscience explains our brain's hardwired fear responses and how those responses often lead us into coping behaviors like doom scrolling, overeating, or pouring a drink. But instead of retreating into old habits, she invites listeners to pause, activate their prefrontal cortex, and take purposeful action.Drawing on Fred Rogers' famous advice to “look for the helpers,” Molly encourages us to take it one step further—by becoming the helper. Helping others not only builds community, it also restores our own mindset and emotional health.This powerful episode blends neuroscience, mindfulness, and compassion to offer a clear path through uncertainty by leaning into generosity and contribution.In This Episode:Why fear and uncertainty trigger coping behaviorsThe role of the amygdala and how it keeps us on high alertHow to re-engage the prefrontal cortex for better decision-makingThe self-coaching model Molly calls the Behavior Map-Result CycleWhy acts of service and helping others can shift your mindsetReframing fear as an opportunity to take actionResources Mentioned:Breaking the Bottle Legacy– Molly's book and resources to change your drinking habitsLearn about the Behavior Map-Result Cycle and how to apply it to your relationship with alcoholRevisit more Think Thursday episodes at mollywatts.com/podcastPerfect For:Anyone feeling overwhelmed by current eventsListeners looking to reinforce healthy coping strategiesThose exploring the intersection of emotional health and drinking habitsPeople seeking inspiration to take empowered, meaningful action ★ Support this podcast ★

Hebrews 13:1-3, 5b-8, 12-16 - Let brotherly love continue. Do not neglect to show hospitality to strangers, for thereby some have entertained angels unawares. Remember those who are in prison, as though in prison with them, and those who are mistreated, since you also are in the body. … [The Lord] has said, “I will never leave you nor forsake you.” So we can confidently say, “The Lord is my Helper; I will not fear; what can man do to me?” Remember your leaders, those who spoke to you the Word of God. Consider the outcome of their way of life, and imitate their faith. Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever. … So Jesus also suffered outside the gate in order to sanctify the people through His own blood. Therefore let us go to Him outside the camp and bear the reproach He endured. For here we have no lasting city, but we seek the city that is to come. Through Him then let us continually offer up a sacrifice of praise to God, that is, the fruit of lips that acknowledge His Name. Do not neglect to do good and to share what you have, for such sacrifices are pleasing to God.

Psalm 121 asks, “Where does my help come from?” In this sermon, Ed explores how God, the Maker of heaven and earth, is our tireless Helper. His care is constant, His protection comprehensive, and His promise eternally secure—assuring us that He will lead His people safely home.

Title: Who is the Holy Spirit? | The Person and Power of God's SpiritSpeaker: Nate HoldridgeOverview: In this first message of a three-week series on the Holy Spirit, Pastor Nate Holdridge examines the fundamental question "Who is the Holy Spirit?" He addresses three common church errors regarding the Spirit—abuse, rejection, and neglect—while establishing from Scripture that the Holy Spirit is the third Person of the Trinity, fully God and co-equal with the Father and Son. Through biblical evidence, he demonstrates the Spirit's divine attributes and personal nature, challenging believers to relate to him not as an impersonal force but as the divine Person who serves as our Helper, Comforter, and intercessor. The message calls Calvary Monterey to pursue biblical balance while maintaining genuine spiritual hunger for the Spirit's work in their lives and ministry.

Cecil Maranville discusses John 14:16-17—“And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever—the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you know Him, for He dwells with you and will be in you.”

Follow Everyday Prayers @MillionPrayingMomsA Prayer For When we Need a Little Help Just like a child stuck at the top of a slide, fear and anxiety can leave us feeling paralyzed in life. But Jesus assures us that we are never left alone. Through His death and resurrection, the Holy Spirit—the Helper—now dwells within us, giving strength, peace, and guidance in every circumstance. From school stresses to parenting challenges, we can rest in the truth that God’s Spirit is with us and our children. We don’t have to muster up joy or strength on our own; our Helper equips us to live faithfully and confidently. Reference: John 16:7 Prayer: Father, help our children to know that they have a Helper. Remind them that they are never alone, not even in the overwhelm that school work can sometimes bring. Help me to teach them to depend on your Spirit as their source of strength. Amen.

Here's a glimpse into what a relationship looks like between a Type 2 Helper and a Type 3 Achiever.We'll talk about what these types have in common, what specifically attracts each type to each other, what conflict looks like between them, and then conclude with some *potentially* helpful advice based on the enneagram theories discussed throughout the episode. DISCLAIMER: This is a general overview that cannot cover the complexity of each subtype & variation (e.g. a self-pres 2w1 with a social 3w2 could be very different than some of these general descriptions), nor can I cover how the varying degrees of each specific couple's mental/emotional health would impact so many of these patterns. So with that disclaimer out of the way, please feel free to share how these patterns do or don't play out in your personal life, all while keeping any combative disagreements to a minimum :) Thank you, and enjoy!0:00 Shared Traits2:50 Two's Attraction to Three5:46 Three's Attraction to Two9:23 Conflict12:21 Advice16:07 Rating

7 Nevertheless, I tell you the truth: it is to your advantage that I go away, for if I do not go away, the Helper will not come to you. But if I go, I will send him to you. 8 And when he comes, he will convict the world concerning sin and righteousness and judgment: 9 concerning sin, because they do not believe in me; 10 concerning righteousness, because I go to the Father, and you will see me no longer; 11 concerning judgment, because the ruler of this world is judged.John 16:7-1121 Therefore put away all filthiness and rampant wickedness and receive with meekness the implanted word, which is able to save your souls. 22 But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves. 23 For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man who looks intently at his natural face in a mirror. 24 For he looks at himself and goes away and at once forgets what he was like. 25 But the one who looks into the perfect law, the law of liberty, and perseveres, being no hearer who forgets but a doer who acts, he will be blessed in his doing.James 1:21-25CONVICTION AND COMFORT7 Nevertheless, I tell you the truth: it is to your advantage that I go away, for if I do not go away, the Helper will not come to you. But if I go, I will send him to you. 8 And when he comes, he will convict the world concerning sin and righteousness and judgment: 9 concerning sin, because they do not believe in me; 10 concerning righteousness, because I go to the Father, and you will see me no longer; 11 concerning judgment, because the ruler of this world is judged.John 16:7-1126 But the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name,John 14:26 (NIV)26 But the Counselor, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name,John 14:26 (CSB)26 But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name,John 14:26 (KJV)HOW DOES THE COMFORTER COMFORT US?8 And when he comes, he will convict the world concerning sin and righteousness and judgment: 9 concerning sin, because they do not believe in me; 10 concerning righteousness, because I go to the Father, and you will see me no longer; 11 concerning judgment, because the ruler of this world is judged.John 16:7-11Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding.Proverbs 3:5The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately sick; who can understand it?Jeremiah 17:9Whoever trusts in his own mind is a fool, but he who walks in wisdom will be delivered.Proverbs 28:268 Be sober-minded; be watchful. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour.1 Peter 5:8MOVIE CLIP***10 And I heard a loud voice in heaven, saying, “Now the salvation and the power and the kingdom of our God and the authority of his Christ have come, for the accuser of our brothers[a] has been thrown down, who accuses them day and night before our God.Revelation 12:108 And when he comes, he will convict the world concerning sin and righteousness and judgment:John 16:8elegchō: declare (someone) to be guilty of a criminal offense by the verdict of a jury or the decision of a judge in a court of law.“The Spirit is the ‘advocate' or helper of those who believe in Jesus, their counsel for the defense. But in relation to unbelievers, to the godless world, he acts as counsel for the prosecution.”F.F. BruceBefore the convicting work of the Holy Spirit one may say, I make a lot of mistakes. Nobody's perfect. After the convicting work of the Holy Spirit one may say, I'm a lost rebel, fighting against God and His law – I must rely on Jesus to get right with God.David Guzik13 When the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all the truth…John 16:138 Be sober-minded; be watchful.

And they ravaged the Ammonites and besieged Rabbah. But David remained at Jerusalem.2 Samuel 11:1THE COMFORTER LEADS US WITH TRUTH“The Holy Spirit never comes merely to make us feel good; He comes to make us holy, and that requires conviction before comfort.”A.W. Tozer“When the Holy Spirit comes, He is like a refiner's fire. He burns away the dross, but never destroys the gold; He convicts to cleanse, and cleanses to comfort.”Charles Spurgeon5 Then David's anger was greatly kindled against the man, and he said to Nathan, “As the Lord lives, the man who has done this deserves to die, 6 and he shall restore the lamb fourfold, because he did this thing, and because he had no pity.”7 Nathan said to David, “You are the man!2 Samuel 12:5-7“When He rebukes, He wounds only to heal; when He pierces the conscience, it is to pour in the balm of comfort.”John Chrysostom

25 “These things I have spoken to you while I am still with you. 26 But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he will teach you all things and bring to your remembrance all that I have said to you. John 14:25-26“The idea of the Spirit held by the average church member is so vague as to be nearly nonexistent. When it is thought of at all, it is likely to be misunderstood as an influence or an impersonal power.”A.W. Tozer“From my perspective, the Holy Spirit is tragically neglected and, for all practical purposes, forgotten... while no evangelical would deny His existence, I'm willing to bet there are millions of churchgoers across America who cannot confidently say they have experienced His presence or action in their lives.”Francis ChanWhat do you believe concerning the “Holy Spirit”?First, that the Spirit, with the Father and the Son, is eternal God. Second, that he is given also to me, so that, through true faith, he makes me share in Christ and all his benefits, comforts me, and will remain with me forever.Heidelberg Catechism, Q.53THE HOLY SPIRIT IS NOT A PAST/PRESENT POWER APPLIED TO A CHRISTIAN, HE'S THE PERSON OF GOD WHO HAS COME TO MAKE HIS HOME IN A RESURRECTED HEART.25 “These things I have spoken to you while I am still with you. 26 But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he will teach you all things and bring to your remembrance all that I have said to you. John 14:25-26THE TEACHERTeacher: someone who helps others learn, understand, and grow in knowledge, skills, character, or wisdom.MATH EQAUTION PIC***Teacher: someone who takes what is formless and void to the student, and brings order to the chaos through words.25 “These things I have spoken to you while I am still with you. 26 But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he will teach you all things and bring to your remembrance all that I have said to you. John 14:25-26ONE OF THE HOLY SPIRIT'S PRIMARY ROLES IS TO PARTNER WITH GOD'S WORD TO CREATE ORDER.Suddenly there came from heaven a sound like a mighty rushing wind, and it filled the entire house where they were sitting. 3 And divided tongues as of fire appeared to them and rested[a] on each one of them. 4 And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit gave them utterance.Acts 2:2-4Modalism: a theological view that posits the Trinity is not three distinct persons within one Godhead, but rather one God who reveals Himself in different "modes" or “manifestations"THE HOLY SPIRIT IN CREATIONIn the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. 2 The earth was without form and void, and darkness was over the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters.3 And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light. Genesis 1:1-3 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were made through him, and without him was not any thing made that was made. 4 In him was life,[a] and the life was the light of men. 5 The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.John 1:1-5THE HOLY SPIRIT IN EZEKIELThe hand of the Lord was upon me, and he brought me out in the Spirit of the Lord and set me down in the middle of the valley;[a] it was full of bones. 2 And he led me around among them, and behold, there were very many on the surface of the valley, and behold, they were very dry. 3 And he said to me, “Son of man, can these bones live?” And I answered, “O Lord God, you know.” 4 Then he said to me, “Prophesy over these bones, and say to them, O dry bones, hear the word of the Lord. 5 Thus says the Lord God to these bones: Behold, I will cause breath[b] to enter you, and you shall live. 6 And I will lay sinews upon you, and will cause flesh to come upon you, and cover you with skin, and put breath in you, and you shall live, and you shall know that I am the Lord.”7 So I prophesied as I was commanded. And as I prophesied, there was a sound, and behold, a rattling,[c] and the bones came together, bone to its bone. 8 And I looked, and behold, there were sinews on them, and flesh had come upon them, and skin had covered them. But there was no breath in them. 9 Then he said to me, “Prophesy to the breath; prophesy, son of man, and say to the breath, Thus says the Lord God: Come from the four winds, O breath, and breathe on these slain, that they may live.” 10 So I prophesied as he commanded me, and the breath came into them, and they lived and stood on their feet, an exceedingly great army.Ezekiel 37:1-10THE HOLY SPIRIT IN JESUS31 And behold, you will conceive in your womb and bear a son, and you shall call his name Jesus. 32 He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High.

Psalms 54: 1-7

For three decades, Alina Stevens' family business got “we want to buy you” letters almost daily—then in 2024, she finally said yes. In this candid conversation, Alina walks the Blue-Collar Twins through scaling All Pro Pest from ~25 to ~50 employees, choosing a buyer who kept the team (only one person left), and the emotional gear-shift from making every decision to consulting while the new owner hums along. It's a masterclass in female leadership inside a family company, statewide routing without extra branches, and knowing when to let the kids “go to college.” You'll hear: The moment “sell” went from never to now—and why employee continuity was the deal-breaker.How she modernized ops: true-mobile routing, GPS/cameras, and ditching IVR hell to stay customer-first.Lessons as a woman owner winning respect on job sites by knowing the craft cold.Why growth means you're never “over the mountain,” and how to communicate for buy-in (not just talk).Life after close: the ego hit of “they don't need me”… and the freedom to ask what's next.

*Listen to the Show notes and podcast transcript with this multi-language player. SUMMARY: There is a sense that the Lord is opening up a greater anointing in the Spirit. He promised to make all things new. The expectation must be with us to experience things that we have not known before. We stir up our faith to reach into it. SHOW NOTES: We need a fresh anointing and a renewed awareness of His presence. We're seeking something that is beyond anything we have known in the past. Look for a whole new spiritual experience, which could mean not holding on to what you had in the past. Keep knocking, keep seeking and become expectant like children. QUOTATIONS: It's the Holy Spirit revealing things that we've been waiting for, but we're so conditioned to keep waiting that we don't reach into it. We just open up our spirit and we just receive the Holy Spirit. I think this is something brand new; it's making things available that have not been available. Lord, discomfort me with the next thing You're going to reveal to me. Please don't let us stagnate where we are. The Lord is putting in us this childlike spirit where we're spontaneous; we're reaching for that new thing. It means we start here, we start at zero, and we begin to learn and receive of the Lord in a new way. Be expectant that all of our other experiences may not just be improvements of what we've already done, but may be so radically different that at first it confronts us. REFERENCES: John 14:16-17 I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may be with you forever; that is the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it does not see Him or know Him, but you know Him because He abides with you and will be in you. Luke 18:8 “I tell you that He will bring about justice for them quickly. However, when the Son of Man comes, will He find faith on the...

When Stacey Sutherland entered the mission field twenty years ago, she knew she wanted to help people who were experiencing crisis and trauma. But she didn't know how trauma and crisis would affect her marriage, her five children, or herself. She couldn't have foreseen how much of her trauma knowledge (or trauma wisdom) would be shaped by her lived experience, by her endless pursuit to heal her family, and by her willingness to wrestle with God over questions that even the strongest faith can't answer. Today, Stacey is a certified Crisis Intervention Specialist and Licensed Professional Counselor-Associate, as well as the Executive Director of Crisis Care International. She's served in more than 30 countries, supporting communities impacted by crisis and disaster, and equipping helpers with trauma-informed tools for healing and resilience.This vulnerable conversation looks at trauma as a personal experience rather than an externalized experience that only happens to others. As Stacey puts it, "Trauma is a great equalizer." Join us as we talk about faith, deconstruction, reconstruction, and the peace that is found when we accept God's presence...in spite of our circumstances.Learn more about Stacey's work at: staceydsutherland.com For more about trainings at Crisis Care International: crisiscareinternational.org/eventsTo connect with Stacey: stacey@crisiscareinternational.org

At our Warfare Wednesday Service, Pastor Femi delivered a stirring exhortation titled GOD-SENT HELPER, drawing from Isaiah 50:7 and 2 Samuel 9. He began by unpacking the idea that a “God-sent” helper is not just any support but a timely, divinely orchestrated lifeline that shows up when human effort reaches its limit. Using David's encounter with Mephibosheth as a vivid illustration, PFP reminded us that even in barren places like Lo Debar - the symbolic land of dryness, delay and obscurity - God's kindness can find you, lift you, and restore all that was lost. He asked a piercing question: Can you even recognise your helper? Because sometimes, divine help looks ordinary, and other times, it may be delayed by unseen battles. PFP led the church into warfare prayers, declaring that in this month of August, God will send the particular help we need, not just help in general, but help that aligns with our purpose, healing and restoration. Expect to be remembered, restored, and repositioned at the King's table.
