Podcasts about interruptions

The acclaimed painting Let My People Go by Aaron Douglas uses vibrant colors of lavender, green, and gold, along with traditional African imagery, to tell the biblical story of Moses and connect it with Black Americans’ struggle for freedom and justice. The painting portrays God’s appearance to Moses in a burning bush when he revealed that He’d seen the plight of the Israelites in Egypt. The artist uses a beam of light to symbolize God and His message, “So now, go. I am sending you to Pharaoh to bring my people the Israelites out of Egypt” (Exodus 3:10). In Let My People Go, Moses kneels in obedient submission to God’s instructions, but the eye is drawn to the dark waves and horses trained for war surrounding him—reminding viewers of the struggles the Israelites would face as they left Egypt. But the beam of light shines brightly as a reminder that God would be with the Israelites in their struggle. The emotions evoked by the painting resonate because the struggle against injustice continues; many use their power to oppress men, women, and children around the world. As those suffering cry out for God to be “a refuge for the oppressed, a stronghold in times of trouble” (Psalm 9:9), we can plead with God to respond to their cries for help. And, like Moses, we can be willing to act on behalf of the oppressed.

Happy 100th episode!!! We kick off Season 3 with a full celebration…new set, confetti, surprise guests, and an outfit situation that makes absolutely no sense. But underneath the chaos, we actually talk about what this podcast has meant to us, why we started it, why we've kept it going, and what we've learned after 100 episodes of showing up together every week.We also shared a real moment about independence, anxiety, and what it looks like when you don't have the words to say “I need you”… and why we think every couple needs a reset button (feel free to boroow our safe word - "popcorn!")This episode is the perfect mix of ridiculous and real..:and we're so grateful you're here for it.Thanks to this week's sponsorFactorMeals.com/sheena50off and use code sheena50off to get 50% off your first Factor box PLUS free breakfast for 1 year

2025-12-14 ⎮ Christmas Interruptions - Confirm Them by Hillcrest Covenant Church

In this 2026 edition of Experiencing Healthcare, we open the year with a deceptively simple leadership question: who's the hardest person to lead? The answer isn't a teammate—it's yourself. Through humor, real-world CEO moments, and hard-earned reflection, Matt unpacks why self-leadership is often overlooked, how boundaries are actually discipline in disguise, and why emotional regulation is the foundation for every decision you make—especially in a “heavy” industry like healthcare. The takeaway: if you want to lead others well this year, start by leading you with intention.

Listen to today's podcast... On the last working day of the year, the office is quiet and you are prepared to take advantage of it to get caught up on your work.  The phone rings.  You sigh. Another stressful interruption. According to Fast Company the average office worker is interrupted and taken off task every 11 minutes. Even worse, they say that it takes basically that much time to refocus on the task at hand.  Often, we end up compensating for interruptions by working faster and harder, which results in us experiencing more stress. We get frustrated, impatient, annoyed, angry, defeated.  The key to avoid interruptions at work is to find productive ways to minimize and deal with them and keep our emotions in check. Take One Action Today To Build Your #Resiliency!      Tips For Building Resiliency and Dealing With No Interruptions Day: Plan for interruptions.  Know the type of interruptions that you usually encounter and when they are most likely to occur.  Limit the opportunities for people to distract you.  If you need time to concentrate on a particular task, block it off in your schedule and let colleagues know that you are not available until a certain time.  Turn off your phone and your email notifiers.  Shut the door.  Book a meeting room just for yourself. Watch for your own personal interrupters.  A messy desk, hunger, thirst and curiosity all get in our own way of being as productive as we can.  Organize yourself prior to starting your focused time, not during it.

What if the field you're standing in today is the very place God plans to reveal His glory? God's interruptions turn ordinary work into extraordinary worship. The shepherds were just doing their job when heaven split the sky. God chose night-shift workers to receive the greatest announcement in history. The glory that filled the fields transformed their perspective—and their response was immediate worship. This message invites us to see our everyday routines as places where God's glory can still break through. God still meets ordinary people in ordinary places to do extraordinary things.If you are interested in starting a micro church or hosting a small group in your home with like-minded individuals, we've got you covered.

It's time again for a Christmas edition of Moody Presents and we hope you've enjoyed your time celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ this weekend. We couldn't let this Christmas time pass until we heard part 3 of Divine Interruptions with Dr. Mark Jobe, president of the Moody Bible Institute. Let's head right to the book of Luke to learn more!Become part of our Advance Team: http://moodyradio.org/donateto/moodypresents/partnersSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Luke 2:1-14. God often uses interruptions to invite people into the peace they are missing. True peace is not found in control or comfort, but in trusting Jesus even when life does not go as planned.

Divine Interruptions

Interruptions. We hate them. They mess with our schedules, our comfort, our control. But what if the interruptions in your life are actually invitations from God?In this episode of the Emotionally Healthy Leader Podcast, Pete Scazzero unpacks how the Christmas story is filled with divine disruptions—from Mary and Joseph, to Herod, to the Magi, and even the religious leaders of the day. Each response to interruption reveals something profound about our own leadership, our spiritual formation, and the God we serve.Pete invites you to consider:What interruptions are coming your way right now?Are you resisting, ignoring, or receiving them?And what practices can help you stop, listen, and respond like Mary did: “May it be to me as you have said.”This episode is a vital listen as we enter the holidays and close out the year. God is still interrupting lives—and He may be trying to get your attention.

What's harder for you—trusting God's plan or obeying it when it costs you something? God's interruptions test our obedience and reshape our will. Joseph's story shows how divine direction often arrives in life's most confusing moments. When everything felt unfair, God spoke in a dream and asked Joseph to trust Him anyway. Joseph obeyed immediately, even when it cost him his reputation and comfort. His quiet obedience reminds us that faith isn't proven by understanding—it's proven by obedience. Obedience to God's will may not make life easier, but it always makes it meaningful.If you are interested in starting a micro church or hosting a small group in your home with like-minded individuals, we've got you covered.

What if the interruption you're resisting is the invitation God has been preparing? Mary's plans were interrupted by heaven's plan, but her humility and obedience opened the door for a miracle. God chose a young woman from an obscure town to carry the hope of the world. Through Mary, we learn that God doesn't require status—He looks for surrender. When God interrupts, He invites us to trade comfort for calling. God can use you right where you are if you're willing to say yes to His plan.If you are interested in starting a micro church or hosting a small group in your home with like-minded individuals, we've got you covered.

Interruptions...we can't stand them, we grumble, complain, disregard them. But what if it is an interruption in our life that was designed by God to help others? Sobering thought and one we need to be prayerfully ready for this Christmas season, divine interruptions. Here's Pastor Mark Jobe with part two of his message.Become part of our Advance Team: http://moodyradio.org/donateto/moodypresents/partnersSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Interruptions are just a part of life. They come at what seem like the worst possible times. When we go through them, it can cause us to fear what's happening and what the result will be. What can we learn about interruptions from the mother of Jesus? A lot.

This is Christmas: Embracing Divine Interruptions with Dr. Steve Patrick www.betheljanesville.org

What are the odds that your “random” moments are really divine appointments? What feels random may be God at work. Zechariah's story begins in routine faithfulness. Chosen “by lot” to serve in the temple, he discovered that what seemed random was part of God's precise plan. When life feels random, can you trust that God is working through the details you can't see?If you are interested in starting a micro church or hosting a small group in your home with like-minded individuals, we've got you covered.

Dr. Jobe brings an important topic for the Christmas season that we just have to share with you. It's all about being ready...ready for God to interrupt your life to take someone the next step with Jesus! Pastor Mark calls us to pray for some divine interruptions this season.

In this message Jeff will highlight the angel's visits to both Joseph and Mary and show the challenging nature of these divine interruptions. When God calls us to achieve greatness, seldom do our lives become easier. The more difficult your life, the greater your ability to be used by God for grandiose objectives. Will we embrace comfort or calling, convenience or commitment, mediocrity or the miraculous?   Did you decide to follow Jesus after listening to this?

https://traffic.libsyn.com/secure/bizpod/BEP068c-Interruptions.mp3 Welcome back to Business English Pod for today's English for meetings lesson on how to deal with interruptions during a meeting. Meetings are a very important part of work life. They are where decisions are made, relationships are built, and work is coordinated. When meetings go smoothly, they can feel very productive. But meetings can easily become messy and unfocused. In many cases, people compete for time and attention during meetings. They interrupt each other to give new ideas, disagree, or try to get their way. Knowing how to deal with interruptions is a critical skill if you want to participate fully in a meeting. Interrupting people is easier if you learn some useful phrases. You can also learn language to help you stop an interruption and finish what you were saying. In some cases, you might need to concede someone else's point, either partly or fully. When we concede a point, we are saying “okay, you're right.” Sometimes that's the key to moving on after an interruption. In today's dialog, we'll join a meeting at a manufacturing company. Bill is the production manager and Mei Lin and Sam work in HR. They are discussing staffing and recruiting for a new production line. Bill is keen to hire new staff, but Sam and Mei Lin want to explore alternative approaches so there's a lot of disagreement and interrupting during the meeting. Listening Questions 1. What does Bill say is the purpose of the meeting? 2. What is one of the expressions Mei Lin uses to interrupt Bill when he's speaking? 3. What does Bill say to get back to what he was trying to say after being interrupted?

33 [11.17] Kitzur Shulchan Aruch Yomi 18:10-14 [3 Steps Shemonah Esrai How To Bow No Interruptions]

Interruptions are inevitable. Instead of being annoyed, Jesus embraced them, using those moments for His most powerful work. By observing His example, we can learn how to respond to the interruptions we face with a greater sense of purpose and grace. Mark 2:1-12 Speaker: Kyle Idleman

On May 21, 2020, twin brothers Zak and Max Prizant took their first step in their journey across America on foot. They started on San Francisco's Golden Gate Bridge. They finished on the Brooklyn Bridge on New Year's Eve, completing their 3000-mile journey and raising $15,000 for COVID relief. On May 21, 2020, twin brothers Zak and Max Prizant took their first step in their journey across America on foot. They started on San Francisco's Golden Gate Bridge. They finished on the Brooklyn Bridge on New Year's Eve, completing their 3000-mile journey and raising $15,000 for COVID relief.” Now, repeat that journey 2.5 more times. That's how far Paul and his companions traveled (over 10,000 miles) as pioneer missionaries. They faced many life-threatening hazards, and unlike the Prizants, they endured physical attacks and prison time to spread the gospel and start churches. Of all the experiences they had, something unusual happened during the second missionary journey. God paused their plans, rerouting their mission efforts. Let's take a road trip with Paul and lessons in listening to God.

The world record for fastest pit stop—a mere 1.8 seconds—was set by the McLaren F1 Team at the Qatar Grand Prix in 2023. It's an incredible feat of speed and choreography; a pit stop that fast can't happen without a team of people operating at peak human performance. But as Dan Keyworth explains, AI plays a crucial role, too. As the Director of Business Technology at McLaren Racing, Dan is responsible for helping the whole team perform at their best—and that starts with having the right tools. Whether it's the firehose of sensor data coming off a race car, video analysis of the pit crew in action, or marketing analytics for the next Grand Prix, AI helps the McLaren F1 Team make the right decisions—and make them fast.On this episode, Dan talks about the importance of getting simple answers from complex data, how they use Dropbox Dash, and why we shouldn't think of AI as labor replacement so much as laborious replacement.You can learn more about the McLaren F1 Team at mclaren.com/racing/formula-1.

I have two big triggers that lead me to feeling very frustrated. Interruptions when I'm trying to focus and time pressure/running late. Those two are the times when I feel the most triggered by my kids. And the reality is, if you are a mom you will face these on a regular if not daily. In this episode you will learn:Why do we feel time pressureWhat thoughts are contributing to frustrationWhat you can do proactively to have smoother transitions Empowering thoughts 'in the moment' when kids are not cooperating and you are running late. If you've been finding yourself saying things like: • “They won't let me…” • “I can't because of them…” • “This shouldn't be happening…”Then this work will change your everyday life — in small moments and in the bigger moments of parenting, discipline, marriage, and overwhelm.I'd love to support you in this.

One UCLA professor humorously suggested the creation of a new unit of time called “the honko-second.” Defined as “the time between when the light changes and the person behind you honks his horn,” it would be the smallest measure of time known to man. Those of us who want things in a “honko-second” find waiting annoying. Isn't that why we enjoy fast food, microwaves, freeway express lanes, and Amazon Prime? But what if God has something in those gaps for us that we can't learn any other way? Let's not waste our waiting anymore. Jesus's disciples were in a waiting room with lessons to show us how to wait well.

Iain Thomas is a poet, author, and the Chief Innovation Officer at Sounds Fun—an advertising and creative agency that he co-founded with the belief that human creativity could be enhanced, rather than diminished, with the help of AI. It's a realization that actually began to dawn on Iain a few years prior, after his mother died. He wasn't sure how to explain death to his children, so he turned to an early version of ChatGPT for help—and was so impressed by the poetry of its responses that he came away convinced of AI's immense potential as a thought partner for his creative work. On this episode, Iain talks about using AI to make more space for the creative parts of your work, and why, in a world where everyone has access to the same tools, it's never been more important to lean into the skills, context, and experiences that make each of us most unique—and most human.Learn more about Sounds Fun soundsfun.co~ ~ ~Working Smarter is brought to you by Dropbox Dash—the AI universal search and knowledge management tool from Dropbox.

Bespoken Spirits isn't your typical whiskey distillery. Yes, they're based in the American bourbon heartland of Lexington, Kentucky, and yes, they often make private label whiskeys for clients. But everything from how Bespoken Spirits distills their whiskey to how they market it is done with the help of AI. Jordan Spitzer, their head of flavor, can finish a whiskey in days instead of years—while precisely crafting its taste—using their machine-learning backed approach. And Wane Lindsey, their director of marketing, credits AI tools with helping his tiny team punch way above their weight.The result is a whiskey that may not be traditional, but still tastes great—and in a fraction of the time it would otherwise take. That's time they can spend on the creative side of their craft and the work that has the most meaning: building brands and bespoke spirits that people will want to drink.On this episode, Jordan and Wane share how AI has helped them explore creative new ways to make and market whiskey—and why, no matter how smart our tools get, there's still no substitute for human taste.You can learn more about Bespoken Spirits at bespokenspirits.com~ ~ ~Working Smarter is brought to you by Dropbox Dash—the AI universal search and knowledge management tool from Dropbox.
