Podcasts about Humility

Read Online“I baptize with water; but there is one among you whom you do not recognize, the one who is coming after me, whose sandal strap I am not worthy to untie.” This happened in Bethany across the Jordan, where John was baptizing. John 1:26–28Though John the Baptist prepared the people of Israel for the beginning of Jesus' ministry, he also prepares us to receive the fruit of that ministry and mission. One way he does this is by revealing the identity of the Messiah with great clarity.Of John, Jesus said, “Among those born of women there has been none greater than John the Baptist; yet the least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he” (Matthew 11:11). This is high praise! One of the most important qualities that made John so great was his humility. It was his humility that enabled him to turn the attention of his followers away from himself and toward the Messiah.During this transitional period between the octave of Christmas and Ordinary Time, we are invited to anticipate all that this newborn King came to do in our lives. He came to set us free from all sin so that we can enter into union with Him. One of the best ways to embrace our Lord's mission is to understand who He is—His identity and mission.With John, we are invited to acknowledge the unfathomable glory of the Messiah. With John, we must profess that we are not worthy even to untie His sandal strap. In the cultural context, that function was delegated to the lowest servant in a household, who untied the master's sandals upon his return home and washed his feet. If we understand who Jesus is in relation to us, we will believe and profess that we are not worthy even to be His lowliest servant. This is the truth: in regard to worthiness, we have none in the presence of the Messiah.Once we understand and believe this truth, we will be better prepared to embrace the even more glorious truth that our King, Master, and Messiah has chosen to stoop down to wash our feet and serve us by laying down His life for our eternal salvation. He takes all our sins upon Himself and suffers their consequences, death on a cross.Without imitating and participating in John's humility, we cannot experience the depth of gratitude that we must have for Jesus' life and mission. Acknowledging our complete unworthiness with John is not demeaning, nor does it make us any more unworthy. Instead, this act of true humility prepares us for the gift that began with the Incarnation and culminated in the Ascension into Heaven.Reflect today on the humble truth of your complete unworthiness before the life and mission of the Messiah. Ponder John the Baptist as your model. Look at Jesus as John looked at Him, and believe what John believed. As you do, allow that realization to fill you with gratitude as you ponder God's choice to meet you in that lowly state so as to serve you with the gift of His very life.My glorious Lord, I am not worthy even to be Your lowest servant. Help me to understand and believe this humble truth. As I do, I offer You my utmost gratitude for choosing to meet me in that humility and to draw me to Yourself as my Messiah and King. I love You, my Lord; help me to love You more.

Send us a textNormal equals average. That single idea hits like a fastball under the hands, because it calls out the comfort that keeps programs stuck. We pull back the curtain on why talent and facilities won't save a team that avoids adversity—and how a humble, hungry culture turns hard moments into momentum.We start with the coach's mirror: owning the postgame questions that matter. Did we prepare them for pressure, manage with intent, and teach adjustments, or did we fall back on routines that feel safe? Humility is not weakness; it's the foundation of growth. When we label our mistakes in front of players, we teach them how to respond to theirs. From there, hunger becomes the engine. One more inning of film, one more tough conversation, one more targeted adjustment—these daily choices set a standard that players mirror when the game tightens.You'll hear practical frameworks to build a team that embraces adversity. We outline pressure-first practice design, with game-speed, consequence-driven scenarios that demand rapid decisions. We share debrief prompts that turn failure into feedback, and we show how to reward the grind: extra reps, self-scout habits, and resilient at-bats get the spotlight. Expect clear examples across travel, high school, and college contexts, plus mindset cues that keep your best hitter locked in during a slump and your ace composed after a crooked number.If your program sometimes plays not to lose, this is your reset. Replace comfort with clarity, raise the bar you walk under every day, and watch players choose courage over excuses.

In all industries there are the visionaries. People that make industry veterans raise an eyebrow and reflect "this is exactly who we need." Keith Saarloos is that person for me. I won't bore you with my tenure but suffice it to say, I've been around the block...enter Keith Saarloos. I am so inspired by this man, I want to find a way to start a podcast with him. News on that later.   What is cool....eac and every time I receive an inquiry to visiting the Central Coast wine district and specifically, Los Olivos, I recommend Saarloos and Sons...and each and everytime, Keith takes the moment to engage the guest...in my opinion, this is rethinking the wine business, not social metrics and boxed wine. We started off with Keith Saarloos sharing his roots—growing up in Southern California, the life lessons learned working in his family's business, and his journey that eventually led him to the Santa Ynez Valley. I loved listening to Keith reminisce about those early days, from delivery routes that taught him everything about the region to how customer service is at the heart of every great business. Keith opened up about how his family shifted from the dairy industry to farming and, after a tough chapter as apple growers, ultimately found their way to planting grapevines. He talked about the serendipitous way the winemaking journey began for the Saarloos family—less out of a carefully mapped business plan and more because of resilience, optimism, and a willingness to learn by doing. We got into the nitty-gritty of what it means to be a real farmer and winemaker—how everything from humility to the willingness to "burn the ships" and never quit has shaped the Saarloos approach. Keith emphasized how much of wine's magic comes from the honest, sometimes gritty, work in the vineyard—not just from slick marketing or a pretty label. If you came into winemaking thinking it was all about lifestyle and glamour, Keith quickly dispels that myth and gives you the reality: hard work, family, and a deep connection to the land. One of the most moving parts of the episode was when we talked about the legacy of family. Keith spoke about the loss of his father, what it means to try to fill those big shoes, and how the wisdom and values passed down through generations end up in each bottle they produce. I could really feel the passion when Keith explained that every bottle is a story—often with a family member's photo on the label—a piece of living legacy. We didn't shy away from the philosophical side of wine, either. We discussed why people are drawn to this lifestyle, the concept of terroir in Ballard Canyon, and the intangible, almost spiritual connection between what's in your glass and the land it comes from. We even touched on biblical references to wine, and what it means for wine to be more than just a beverage—but rather something soulful, connecting people and places through time. And of course, we contrasted this authentic, family-driven approach with the rise of mass-market, formulaic wines. Keith was gracious in saying there's a place for gateway wines like Cali Red and even Martha Stewart Chardonnay, but he also explained why the heart and humility found in bottles from people like him is irreplaceable. All in all, this episode was about more than just winemaking—it was about family, authenticity, hard lessons, and the kind of artistry that comes with real passion and a sense of place. Whether you're into wine professionally, come from a farming family, or just love a good story, I think you'll take something away from my conversation with Keith Saarloos. Thanks for joining me on this episode of Wine Talks—until next time, cheers! YouTube:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FVXBNSkpIsQ   #WineTalksPodcast #SantaYnezWine #FamilyWinery #WineStories

In this episode, I walk you through 1 Kings 21 and the story of King Ahab, focusing on the moment that changed the outcome of his life. This passage shows us the difference between outward behavior that looks humble and a heart that is truly repentant, and how God responds when humility is real. Together, we explore: The difference between pouting and true repentanceWhy God responds to humility more than sacrificeHow genuine repentance can delay judgment and invite mercyWhat it actually means to humble yourself before the LordHow humility changes outcomes in our lives and relationships I draw from Scripture throughout this teaching, including 1 Kings, Psalms, Proverbs, Micah, James, Philippians, and the Gospels, to show that humility is not weakness. It is obedience. It is posture. And it is the only way forward when God confronts our hearts. This message is both a warning and an invitation. If you are facing correction, conviction, or a difficult season, I want to help you see the mercy God is eager to extend when we truly humble ourselves before Him.

In this powerful Thinking Talmudist episode on Gittin 55b, Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe explores the Talmud's explanation for the destruction of the Second Temple and Jerusalem: three tragic incidents rooted in people failing to consider consequences ("hardening the heart"). The primary story involves Kamtza and Bar Kamtza—a host mistakenly invites his enemy Bar Kamtza to a banquet, then publicly humiliates and ejects him despite offers to pay for the entire feast. The silent rabbis' inaction emboldens Bar Kamtza to slander the Jews to Caesar, leading to war and destruction.Rabbi Wolbe highlights the "wrongful humility" of Rabbi Zechariah ben Avkulas, who blocks both offering Caesar's blemished calf (fearing it sets a precedent) and killing Bar Kamtza (fearing misperception of penalty)—prioritizing technicalities over saving lives and the Temple. Parallel stories (rooster/hen destroying Tur Malka; carriage shaft destroying Betar) underscore senseless hatred and violence among Jews enabling Roman victory.Themes include: actions have reactions ("play stupid games, win stupid prizes"); silence in face of injustice is complicity; Jewish strength lies in words/persuasion, not violence; and baseless hatred (sinat chinam) remains the core reason for ongoing exile—urging self-reflection to merit redemption._____________The Thinking Talmudist Podcast shares select teachings of Talmud in a fresh, insightful and meaningful way. Many claim that they cannot learn Talmud because it is in ancient Aramaic or the concepts are too difficult. Well, no more excuses. In this podcast you will experience the refreshing and eye-opening teachings while gaining an amazing appreciation for the divine wisdom of the Torah and the depths of the Talmud._____________This Podcast Series is Generously Underwritten by David & Susan MarbinRecorded at TORCH Meyerland in the Levin Family Studios to a live audience on December 12, 2025, in Houston, Texas.Released as Podcast on December 30, 2025_____________Listen, Subscribe & Share: Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/thinking-talmudist-podcast-rabbi-aryeh-wolbe/id1648951154Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0cZ7q9bGYSBYSPQfJvwgzmShare your questions at aw@torchweb.org or visit torchweb.org for more Torah content._____________About the Host:Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe, Director of TORCH in Houston, brings decades of Torah scholarship to guide listeners in applying Jewish wisdom to daily life.  To directly send your questions, comments, and feedback, please email: awolbe@torchweb.org_____________Support Our Mission:Help us share Jewish wisdom globally by sponsoring an episode at torchweb.org.

 We say it every Mass: “Lord, I am not worthy… but only say the word and my soul shall be healed.” What are we asking—and what should we expect? Joe Rockey and Father Boniface Hicks unpack the centurion's faith behind that line, how the Eucharist gives not just a word but the Word made flesh, and why Communion is an invitation already given—not a feeling we must wait for. We close with a simple New Year resolution: prepare better, receive more, and let grace heal what we cannot. Through the three lenses: honesty with self, charity toward others, under a living relationship with God.Key IdeasFrom Scripture to altar: the centurion's “say the word” (authority, trust) becomes our Communion prayer—humble, confident, obedient.More than a word: at Mass we receive the Giver Himself—Jesus, truly present in the Eucharist—superabundant love for unworthy hearts.Invitation stands: unless you should refrain, don't wait for a private signal; the liturgy itself is Christ's call to come.Feelings vary; grace doesn't: ritual prayers serve a billion souls—some days they fit our mood, others they lead it.A practical resolution: arrive a bit early, call to mind sins and needs, and ask to receive Him more fully this year.Links & ReferencesScripture named (no links):The centurion's faith (Matthew 8:5–13; cf.

15 characteristics of humility/greatness.

From football dreams to track passion, Bradley Moon's journey is one of faith, humility, and servant leadership. As founder of Sprint Free Training and co-creator of the upcoming Remotion app, Bradley's story shines a light on what happens when coaching goes beyond ego — focusing instead on relationships, respect, and doing it “for the kids.”In this inspiring season finale, Mike and Bradley unpack:

Send us a textToday's topic is The Power of Humility in Healing with guest co-host Becky F. 

The readings for this homily: https://bible.usccb.org/bible/readings/123025.cfmFather Chris Alar, MIC reflects on the coming Feast of the Presentation of the Lord and the Purification of Mary — a mystery often misunderstood, and sometimes misused, to challenge the Church's teaching on Our Lady. What appears, at first glance, to be a ritual of purification reveals instead a profound lesson in obedience, humility, and grace.Mary did not submit to the law because she was sinful. Her purification was legal, not moral — a requirement of Mosaic law tied to childbirth, not guilt. Just as Jesus did not need Baptism yet freely accepted it, Mary did not need purification yet humbly embraced it. Grace raised her above the law, Fr. Chris explains, but humility placed her beneath it. Together, Jesus and Mary show us that obedience to God's law is not weakness, but witness.The Presentation also reminds us that every child belongs first to God. In the ancient law, the firstborn was not owned by the parents, but lent to them by the Lord. Parenthood, therefore, is stewardship — a sacred trust for which we will one day answer. Faith must be passed on by example, just as Mary and Joseph lived the law faithfully before their Son.Father Chris then turns our attention to Simeon and Anna, the “quiet in the land.” They did not seek power, spectacle, or influence. They waited in silence, prayer, and hope. Their lives testify that holiness is not measured by activity, but by fidelity. This is a special word of encouragement for the homebound and forgotten: quiet prayer, offered faithfully, shapes salvation history.Finally, Simeon's prophecy confronts us with a sobering truth. Christ does not condemn us — we judge ourselves by our response to Him. When His law meets a heart that loves, it lifts us up. When it meets indifference or rejection, we turn away on our own. Salvation is not a one-time declaration, but a daily surrender. Like  St. Thérèse of Lisieux taught, we are not called to climb to heaven by our strength, but to place ourselves in Christ's hands and let Him do the lifting.Grace invites. Humility responds. And the hand of Jesus raises all who are willing to endure in Him ★ Support this podcast ★

Sunday AM Worship - 12/28/2025

Send us a text In Episode 2 of our slow-and-deep journey through the Sermon on the Mount, we linger over the first Beatitude: Matthew 5:3 — “Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.” What does “blessed” (makarioi) actually mean? What kind of “poverty” is Jesus talking about (ptōchoi)—and why does He begin His kingdom teaching here? We explore the Greek language, Old Testament echoes, and the spiritual posture Jesus calls the doorway into kingdom life: open hands, honest need, and surrender. This episode isn't about self-hatred or spiritual performance—it's about the freedom of dependence and the surprising promise that the Kingdom belongs to those who stop pretending they can earn it. Support the show If you have any questions about the subjects covered in today's episode you can find us on Facebook at the links below or you can shoot me an email at joe@buddywalkwithjesus.com One Stop Shop for all the links Linktr.ee/happydeamedia

Preacher: Mark Redfern | Series: The Christmas Difference

Tis the season to obsess over the Christmas gifts that we'll give and receive! Gifts that will shortly be forgotten, gifts that will eventually be discarded, and gifts that won't genuinely change anything. Yet what if there were better gifts than that available this Christmas – gifts from heaven itself that were capable of feeding our very souls? Join us at Faith Covenant Church as we discover memorable, enduring, and transformative gifts that God has for each of us this Christmas.

At Christmas we give each other gifts…lots of gifts. Skeptics will tell you that it's to fuel capitalistic consumerism, but church history tells us that we give gifts to each other because of the gifts given to Jesus at his birth. However, Christmas is not about the gifts we gave, but about the gifts of God. God is the first and most generous giver, and he has given humanity many many gifts, and most of all the gift of Jesus. Join us as we study and receive the gifts of God. Join us Sundays at 10:45 a.m. as we seek to be REAL People, who follow a REAL God and experience REAL Life.

Mary is an example of the authentic humility that flows from a properly oriented heart and that should mark every follower of Christ.

We must strive to follow a child's example in humility, turn from our prideful ways, and be humble like a child to enter the kingdom of heaven.

12/28/25 - 1 Corinthians 4:8-13 - "The Humility of Suffering" (Rev. Justin L. Hunter)

As Christians, may we follow Christ's example of humility.

This episode of Uncommon Sense with Ginny Robinson takes a hard look at the growing contradictions surrounding Erika Kirk and the direction of TPUSA's AmFest (or should I say IsFest). From Charlie Kirk's own recorded warnings about bad cultural role models to TPUSA turning around and platforming those very same celebrities (Nicki Minaj included) whose lifestyles openly contradict Christian teaching, the hypocrisy is no longer ignorable.We're breaking down how moral inconsistency, pop-culture appeasement, and ideological confusion are rotting the conservative movement from the inside out. America First cannot exist without Christianity first—not as a buzzword, not as branding, but as the moral and cultural foundation of who we are. And right now, we are watching our spiritual and national identity slip away in real time.When so-called Christian leaders blur lines, excuse the very behavior they once condemned, and choose influence over truth, they don't just lose credibility, they lose the plot (and they lose the people who trusted them).This episode is a call for honesty, consistency, and real conservative leadership rooted in the Christian values they claim to stand for. Not clout, not platforms, and not sinful worldliness.We don't need people playing leaders.We need actual leadership.—https://www.bible.com/

THE Q SOURCE AND MARY'S TEACHINGS Colleague James Tabor. Tabor identifies the "Q" source as a collection of ethical teachings shared by Matthew and Luke. He attributes these core values—such as charity and humility—to a family tradition taught by Mary to Jesus, James, and John the Baptizer, aiming to restore Mary'shistorical influence as a teacher.

We're back with another AMA for this liminal, reflective space between Christmas and the New Year—a time when big questions tend to surface. In this episode, Alyson and I respond to a wide range of listener-submitted questions that span the deeply practical, the philosophical, and the cosmic.We start with a sweeping question about what the next 50 years may hold for humanity, exploring themes like consciousness evolution, polarity, technology, AI, sovereignty, and whether progress is actually accelerating—or fragmenting us further. That conversation opens into reflections on free will, self-governance, spiritual maturity, and how discernment becomes essential in an increasingly noisy world.From there, we shift gears into more specific listener curiosities, including how I've experimented with tools like NuCalm, meditation stacking, and sound frequencies—and what to be mindful of when working with altered states or nervous system regulation. We also unpack questions around longevity, quality of life versus lifespan, and why equanimity may be one of the most underrated spiritual skills of our time.As always, the AMA format invites real-time exploration, tangents, humor, and unexpected insights—from road rage and nervous system dysregulation to regenerative agriculture, ethical food choices, and how small daily decisions reflect much larger spiritual principles.Thank you to everyone who submitted questions.

True virtue becomes visible only when the desire to walk faithfully before God outweighs the instinct to manage appearances for others. Ray, E.Z., Mark, and Oscar examine how virtue signaling has become a modern way of seeking approval, noting that the human urge to belong often pressures believers to display moral outrage or spiritual discipline without genuine conviction. The guys explain that people have always looked for safety in groups, and that this instinct can quietly influence the heart, even in Christian settings.The guys discuss how social media amplifies this struggle by rewarding the performance of virtue. They point out how easy it is to post a Bible verse, a devotional highlight, or a polished quote without allowing those truths to shape character. Christian leaders carry an added weight because their online presence serves as a form of shepherding, and the guys worry that many settle for shallow guidance rather than deep spiritual engagement. Mark recalls receiving a negative review simply for quoting someone unpopular, and the guys use that example to show how expectations can override thoughtful reflection.The guys turn to resisting the lure of appearances and returning to the steady work of communion with God. Virtue comes from God's own righteousness, justice, and truth, and the guys emphasize that Christians need to slow down, detach from screens, and develop habits that shape the heart rather than the image. They encourage believers to reflect on whether frequent posting influences their behavior or simply reveals what already exists beneath the surface. The more people disconnect from quiet spaces, the easier it becomes to slip into spiritual performance rather than genuine spiritual depth. They suggest taking small steps, such as dedicating the first moments of the day to reflection rather than scrolling.In closing, the guys stress that holiness is demonstrated not through public declarations but through consistent, humble acts of repentance and love. They warn against overcorrecting by trying too hard to avoid virtue signaling, which can distract from the gospel. Instead, they urge believers to show real love, confess sin promptly, and accept correction without defensiveness. They remind listeners that the true mark of a Christian is a heart focused on God's approval rather than human applause. The difference between virtue signaling and true virtue is the motive; when believers seek the Lord's approval above all, it will change how they live, respond, and quietly grow.Send us a textThanks for listening!
