Helping Others Learn To Pray Luke 11:1-4
Jeff Charles wears a lot of hats: physical therapist, soccer coach, and jujitsu coach, but at the heart of each role is a passion for helping people grow. In this episode, Jeff shares how discovering soccer as a kid helped shape his future, the lessons he learned from a hardworking Marine father, and why grit and perseverance have been more important in his life than natural talent. We discuss the challenge of helping patients reach their goals, the fine line between confidence and arrogance, what martial arts taught him about courage, and why coaching has become such a meaningful part of his life. Whether you're a coach, athlete, parent, or simply someone trying to become a better version of yourself, Jeff's insights on discipline, humility, and helping others succeed offer plenty to think about.
Motivation and Inspiration Interviews with Professor of Perseverances
In 2010, Michael Gomoll's 4-year-old son Joe died after battling a rare form of epilepsy, Dravet's Syndrome, his entire life. After years of misdiagnosis and wrong medications, Joe was finally able to be seizure-free. Upon his passing, they as a family decided they needed to do what they could to help "the next family". Somewhere, there is a set of parents in a neurologist's office getting a terrifying and confusing diagnosis. They need them to know there is a community out there that understands and is fighting for them.

What does it take to move from mere survival to building a life of purpose, impact, and lasting success? In this episode of The Power of After, we explore the extraordinary journey of Charles van Kessler—a man whose life began in unimaginable hardship during World War II, surviving the Holocaust. After losing his entire family as a toddler and surviving years of severe malnutrition, orphanage life, and even the streets of Amsterdam, Charles made a promise that if he survived, he would dedicate his life to helping children facing similar suffering. Decades later, that promise became a mission-driven business and nonprofit dedicated to serving children in desperate situations. But this story is about more than survival—it's about resilience, discipline, and the principles that helped Charles remain mentally sharp, purpose-focused, and determined through every season of life. We'll discuss how those principles became the foundation not only for personal healing, but for building a business that fuels a greater mission.

HELPING OTHERS TO TRUST GOD One of the greatest blessings in the Christian life is not only learning to trust the Lord with our own burdens, but helping others discover how to do the same. Many people carry heavy hearts. They wrestle with worries, regrets, fears about the future, and questions they cannot answer. Often they are not sure how to give those things to God. They have heard the words before — “Trust the Lord,” or “Give it to God” — but no one has ever really shown them what that looks like in everyday life. Scripture reminds us that helping others find that place of surrender is part of our calling. Galatians 6:2 “Bear ye one another's burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ.” When we walk beside someone who is struggling, we are not meant to simply offer advice. We help carry the weight by pointing them toward the One who can truly lift it. Sometimes the most powerful way to teach this is by quietly sharing how the Lord has helped us turn our own cares over to Him. Intro Music By: Mike Outland

We want to hear from you! Please, send us a text comment or suggestion. In this episode of Home Sweet Home, we explore a surprising truth about healthy aging: helping other people may be one of the most powerful things you can do for your own brain. Drawing from long-term research following more than 30,000 adults over nearly two decades, we unpack how consistent acts of helping—whether formal volunteering or everyday support for neighbors, friends, and family—were linked to slower cognitive decline, stronger purpose, and better overall well-being. This conversation highlights why the benefits are not just emotional or social, but deeply practical for memory, resilience, and long-term brain health.We also talk about what makes helping so effective, why informal acts can matter just as much as organized service, and how to build this habit into daily life in ways that are sustainable rather than overwhelming. At its core, this episode is an invitation to see helping others differently—not just as something generous, but as something restorative and protective for your own life too. If you are looking for a meaningful habit that strengthens both community and personal well-being, this episode offers a hopeful and practical perspective.

SummaryIn the latest episode of Visionary Leader with Jim Robinson, host Jim Robinson welcomes Aaron Walker for a deep dive into the intersection of business, family, faith, and personal growth. With forty-seven years of entrepreneurial experience and as the founder of Iron Sharpens Iron Brotherhood (ISI), Aaron shares his remarkable journey from financial success to finding true significance.Aaron recounts a pivotal moment in his life: an accident that forced him to question the legacy he'd leave behind. He realized that wealth alone was an empty pursuit without meaningful relationships and positive impact. This led him to focus on helping others be successful and significant, channeling his energy into mastermind groups, coaching, and personal development journeys.He details the importance of accountability, community, and core values, insisting that isolation is the enemy of excellence. He encourages all business leaders, especially small business owners, to pause and write out their true core values, ensuring alignment with business growth and personal fulfillment. Aaron's candid discussion about rhythms, rituals, and balancing business with family and faith resonates with anyone striving for authenticity and lasting impact. His advice is clear: Build a culture of trust, live your core values, and pursue significance over mere success—because legacy is about the lives you touch, not just the fortunes you accumulate.Show Notes(00:00) Introduction(06:32) Aaron's Devotion to Helping Others(12:21) Balancing Success and Family(20:27) The Importance of Accountability(33:12) Living Authentically in Leadership(38:58) Navigating Authenticity in the AI Era(44:27) Closing ThoughtsLinksJim Robinson CGP Maintenance and Construction ServicesAaron WalkerISI Brotherhood
When it feels like everything in your life blows up, what do you do next? In this episode, Jeff and Tim discuss: Praying the dangerous prayer with intention. Finding joy in making a difference. How God refines us through loss. Discovering the global giving imbalance and the founding of ROI Ministry. Key Takeaways: God programmed us to desire to serve others, not to serve ourselves. Serving others in the middle of a personal crisis can become a turning point, shifting focus from self‑pity to joy and renewed calling. Your struggles and tribulations are what are going to allow you to serve others in unique ways. Strategic generosity—applying the same due diligence used in business to where and how we give—can multiply impact dramatically, especially for the poorest and least reached. Even small, consistent steps of wise giving, done in community and with trusted counsel, can compound over time into significant, kingdom-level influence.

In Episode 339 of Daughters of the Moon, Kim and Barb are joined by Steve Kelly, author of Butterflied, for a heartfelt conversation about the butterfly effect of kindness, compassion, and human connection.What begins as one small act can ripple farther than we ever imagine. A moment of kindness. A helping hand. One person choosing to care.Through stories of transformation and people helping people, this conversation explores how healing often starts in the quietest moments and grows outward into entire communities. Much like the story behind “Sleep in Heavenly Peace” where one person built a bed for a child in need, only to spark a movement ensuring no child sleeps on the floor in their town.Together, we reflect on:

This exploration of Romans 14 and 15 challenges us to examine our role in the body of Christ through a compelling question: Are we roadblocks, stumbling blocks, or building blocks? The message takes us deep into Paul's letter to the Roman church, where division threatened unity over secondary issues like dietary practices and special days. We discover that while our faith is secure through Christ alone, how we live out that faith profoundly impacts those around us. The roadblock restrictively guards access to faith, reactive and argumentative, ridiculing others while positioning themselves as judge. The stumbling block prioritizes personal freedom over a brother's faith, derailing, dismissive, and destructive in their approach. But the building block pursues peace, practices Scripture, prioritizes people, and promotes unity. This isn't about compromising truth but about recognizing that the ground is level at the foot of the cross. We are reminded that we will all stand before the judgment seat of Christ, not to determine our salvation which is secure, but to give account for how we built upon the foundation of Jesus. The question echoes: Will we have built with wood, hay, and stubble, or with gold, silver, and precious stones? Our calling is clear: to be living sacrifices and loving servants who help others follow Jesus without hindrance.

Psychosis and conditions like Schizophrenia have been tainted with pessimism right from the beginning. Doctors often don't know that recovery is possible and can convey this fatalism to their patients. Prateeksha Sharma's lived experience and research work challenges this pessimism. Prateeksha is a musician, a researcher, a composer, a counselor, and a writer. However, for the longest time, she was only thought of as a patient. She is a distinguished research fellow at the National Academy of Legal Studies and Research in Hyderabad and the founder of Brightside Family Counseling Center. She received a diagnosis of bipolar disorder as a college student and has managed these achievements while navigating the horrors and the gifts of psychosis. Prateeksha's writings critically examine psychiatric systems and foreground survivor perspectives. She brings intellectual depth and personal clarity to what it means to move from being labeled a patient, to being recognized as a person. In this interview, we discuss psychiatric subjectivation, medical zombification, the silencing effects of diagnosis, and how lived experience completely reshapes the conversation about mental health. *** Thank you for being with us to listen to the podcast and read our articles this year.

In this conversation with Randy Spelling — life coach of 18 years, son of legendary TV producer Aaron Spelling, and co-host of the Oldish podcast — Karena explores how growing up with fame and fortune still left him empty. He shares how addiction nearly took his life and how he rebuilt himself through somatic therapy, EMDR, inner child work, and learning to trust his own intuition. You'll gain practical tools for breaking negative self-talk, working with rumination, and taking the first steps toward real healing. What does real healing look like when you've already tried everything — and still hit rock bottom? Randy Spelling grew up inside one of Hollywood's most famous families, with every privilege imaginable — and still ended up at lost, searching for anything to dull the pain. In this deeply honest conversation, Randy walks Karena through the night that changed everything, the addiction that almost killed him, and the 18-year coaching practice he built on the other side of it. From inner child work to EMDR to rewiring negative self-talk, this episode is a masterclass in what it takes not just to survive, but to actually heal.

Welcome back to this week's episode of Trudge Report. Thank you for supporting the show. First and foremost a very happy Easter to anyone who celebrates. We kick things off going around the horn with some talk about this very particular holiday, food comas, church services, and kids figuring out some things about the Easter Bunny. We touch quickly on the NCAA men's basketball tournament and Danny's UConn Huskies playing for a chance at the title game (note; by the time this comes out the championship has already been decided). Corey then asks a great question about religion and faith. Making deeper connections and what these beliefs mean to us. It sparks a quick but in depth conversation and what it means to each of us. We then shift into the recovery segment which is a continuation of service to others, mentorship, and carrying this life-saving message into all of our activities. What it means to show up for people no matter the circumstances or personal sacrifice.“The greatest jail break in all of history occurred on Easter morning. Therefore, we must remember that whatever our prisons might be and however impenetrable they might appear, your jail break is just a prayer away.” - Craig D.

Nick Orchard on how a tough childhood, mental health issues, couch surfing and hip hop have helped him learn how to help others recover from burnout and impostor syndrome.When Nick was growing up, his mum struggled with her mental health and when he was on a date as a teenager he got the worst call of his life, and went to be with his mum when she needed him most.Nick turned to the Melbourne hip hop scene for a sense of community and purpose.It's also where Nick would go looking for a couch to sleep on after he found himself with no permanent home to go to.Just when things hit rock bottom, a call from a stranger helped turn his life around.Nick eventually landed a very big job in government, but that imploded in burnout and he found himself in a different, despondent place - driving 130km down a deserted road, with no memory of how he got there.That experience flicked a switch in him, and today he uses what he has learned to help others as a burnout coach.This episode of Conversations was produced by Alice Moldovan. Executive Producer is Nicola Harrison.It explores mental wellbeing, executive burnout, bouncing back, mental health, mental illness, childhood trauma, boxing, purpose, meaning, life, counselling, boxing, professional coach, senior management, anxiety, impostor syndrome, leadership.To binge even more great episodes of the Conversations podcast with Richard Fidler and Sarah Kanowski go the ABC listen app (Australia) or wherever you get your podcasts.

And at the same time, we're talking about what it looks like to not just experience change—but actually live it out.Q1 – Wrapping the JourneyJamey, as you closed out this series—what felt most important for you to leave with people?Q2 – Step 12: Outward MovementStep 12 shifts from internal transformation to outward impact.Why is helping others such a critical part of the process?Follow-up: What happens if someone stops at personal healing but never moves outward? Why is helping others actually part of staying healthy?Q3 – Palm Sunday TensionOn Palm Sunday, the crowd had expectations of Jesus that didn't match reality.Where do you see that same tension in our lives today?Follow-up: Where do we want a “different version” of Jesus? How does that impact our willingness to follow Him fully?Q4 – “Give It Away to Keep It”If this is our Year of Practice, Step 12 feels less like an ending and more like a beginning.Jamey, you said, you have to give it away to keep it.Where have you seen that play out in real life—especially when someone feels like they have nothing left to give?Q5 – Self-Improvement vs SurrenderWhat are some red flags that following Jesus has quietly turned into a self-improvement plan?Follow-up: What would it look like for a church to measure maturity less by what it consumes—and more by who it's serving?Q6 – The Power of RememberingOne of the most powerful moments this week was communion.How does remembering what Jesus has done shape how we live?Follow-up: Why is remembering essential to spiritual formation? What happens when we drift from it?Q7 – Practicing Through Holy WeekThis week we step into Holy Week—24-hour prayer and Good Friday.How do these moments help us practice instead of just move on?Follow-up: What would you say to someone who's never done something like the 24-hour prayer experience? Why does intentional space with God matter? What have you experienced there that's different from a typical Sunday?Q8 – Staying the CourseAfter a season like this, it's easy to drift.Where do people tend to slip back into oStay Connected Website: https://believerschurch.org/ Bible Reading Plan: https://believerschurch.org/bible-reading-plan/Believers Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/believerschurch.va/ Believers Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/believers_church/Subscribe to The Outlet: https://believerschurch.us13.list-manage.com/subscribe?u=66f00f86238de86688d2480e6&id=729c3f381f
This lecture, “Helping Others with Wisdom: When Compassion Becomes Attachment,” explores the deeper Buddhist understanding of compassion beyond simple kindness. It challenges the common assumption that helping others is always beneficial, revealing how unchecked compassion can sometimes lead to burnout, attachment, or even the reinforcement of suffering. Drawing from the teachings of the Lotus Sutra and Nichiren Shonin, the message emphasizes the importance of balancing compassion with wisdom—recognizing when to act, when to step back, and how to support others without losing oneself. Ultimately, the lecture teaches that true help is not about rescuing or controlling others, but about empowering them while maintaining clarity, boundaries, and faith in their inherent Buddha-nature.

In this episode, John explores the link between masculinity, exercise, and self-worth, and how many men learn to chase confidence through strength, discipline, and physical ability. An unexpected car incident during the golf cart ride sparks a conversation about masculine fear, community, and the importance of men checking and supporting each other in healthy ways. He reflects on heartbreak, competition, and the gym as a path to identity, while also asking the deeper question of whether a man's worth can ever really come from muscle alone. If you have ever felt insecure, questioned your worth, or wondered why you want to build your body in the first place, this episode is for you.

Learn how to JournalSpeak ➡️ LEARN HOW: https://tinyurl.com/2ph33u2s In this episode, I talk with Alice, who recovered from lifelong IBS and anxiety, and has been able to see things more clearly since she was diagnosed in adulthood with ADHD. You may remember her from our original interview - Season 3, Ep 82! Today, we further explore neurodiversity in TMS recovery and how a sensitive, neurodivergent nervous system is not a flaw—but often a key part of the healing process. Alice shares what it was like to finally understand her symptoms through this lens and how learning to work with her brain, rather than trying to fix it, led to complete recovery. Today, Alice is fully free from IBS and anxiety and has joined our BreakAwake Coaching Team. She now works one-on-one with others, extending her hand and guiding people through the same work that changed her life. This episode is a hopeful, honest conversation about nervous system safety, self-trust, and what's possible when we feel truly understood. Join us!
