Podcasts about keeping promises

If you've ever felt like healthcare "listens" to patients the way a cat listens to a vacuum… this episode is for you. Wes Michael (Rare Patient Voice) breaks down what it really takes to build a community where patients feel safe, respected, and actually heard and how that trust turns into better research, better decisions, and better outcomes in rare disease. Skot and Wes talk about the company's evolution, why patient time should be compensated, how surveys and interviews turn lived experience into usable insight, and the difference between "collecting data" and "earning truth." You'll also hear why caregivers matter, what advocacy looks like in practice, and how meaningful work scales when you protect the human part of the process.

New year, clear eyes. We open the door to 2026 by examining what 2025 really taught us about promises, time, and the quiet habits that make or break momentum. Instead of scoring our stop, start, continue pledges, we dig into what changed just by naming commitments out loud—and what didn't change until we wrote them down, protected time, and owned the tradeoffs.We talk frankly about integrity and self-trust: when a “commitment” is just a wish, confidence leaks and imposter feelings grow. Shifting from corporate calendars to self-directed days didn't magically fix that; freedom without design becomes drift. So we get practical about time ownership—guarding Mondays, blocking deep work, and leaving space to think—while staying accountable for outcomes. Autonomy doesn't cancel delivery. You can decline a meeting and still ship the result, as long as you plan, communicate, and accept the consequences of your choices.The conversation gets real around morning routines, distraction, and the lure of “productive later.” We unpack how an hour of daily writing turned into a last-minute sprint to hit a book deadline, why compression carries a hidden tax, and how to rebuild with smaller starts, better environments, and visible commitments that stick. On the team side, we show how early asks, clear windows, and honest client expectations transform emergencies into scheduled work—and how to handle true fires without normalizing chaos.If you're ready to treat your calendar like a promise and your promises like a path to real outcomes, this one's for you. Subscribe for more practical growth conversations, share with a teammate who needs stronger boundaries, and leave a review to tell us the one promise you're writing down today.

ADVENT WEEK ONE: HOPEDecember 2 F. Douglas Powe Jr., PhDHope is about Keeping PromisesJeremiah 33:14-16The days are surely coming, says the Lord, when I will fulfill the promise Imade to the house of Israel and the house of Judah. Jeremiah 33:14We all at one time or another have experienced someone promising us some-thing and we cling to the hope that one day the promise will be fulfilled. In thisJeremiah text, it begins with God saying, “the days are coming when I will ful-fill my promise.”For those who have been clinging to the hope of the promise being fulfilledthis is a welcome relief. God is going to deliver the people from exile in Baby-lon, restore the Davidic king, and re-establish Jerusalem.As you continue reading the text notice the details provided for how thepromise will be fulfilled. God will bring forth a sprout from David's line that willbe good news to both Israel and Judah.Sometimes when we are clinging to hope that a promise will be fulfilled, weneed the type of details provided in this text. Simply repeating the promise nolonger bolsters our hope. We need something more concrete to keep us mov-ing forward so that our hope will come to fruition.During this time of Advent consider what promises you have been making toothers. If you intend to keep these promises (hopefully you do), then what arethe details you can share so that those seeking fulfillment of the promise donot lose hope? Keeping promises goes a long way to helping all of us to main-tain hopeful expectations. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Send us a textNews of Israel's victories spreads, and the people of Gibeon hatch a sneaky plan: they dress in worn-out clothes, carry crumbly bread, and pretend to be from far away so Joshua will make peace with them. The leaders look at the evidence, taste the bread—and forget to pray. Three days later, they discover the truth. Because they had promised safety, Israel keeps its word, and the Gibeonites become woodcutters and water carriers for God's house. This story teaches discernment, the importance of asking God for guidance, and why keeping our promises matters. Talk about it:Why did the Gibeonites pretend to be from a faraway country?What important step did Joshua and the leaders forget?Why did Israel keep its promise even after learning the truth?What jobs did the Gibeonites do afterward, and what can we learn from that?Visit our website: kathyskidsstorytime.orgWe'd love to hear from you.To reach us quickly, click the “Send us a text” link at the top of the episode description.Or write to us by mail:Kathy's Kids StorytimePO Box 44270Charlotte, NC 28215-0043

Unstoppable Mission // The Spirit-led mission from Antioch begins a bold, unstoppable advance of the gospel, overcoming opposition and advancing into the Gentile world.A study of the New Testament // Michael Crosswhite

In this powerful and sobering episode, Jaime Luce takes us deep into the Word, examining the story of Jephthah in Judges 11 and the seriousness of making vows to God. From Old Testament covenant culture to personal testimony, Jaime emphasizes the weight of our words, the spiritual consequences of broken promises, and the blessing of obedience. This isn't milk... it's meat. It's a spiritual workout designed to grow your faith, sharpen your awareness, and deepen your reverence for the God who hears every word you speak. Key Scriptures: Judges 11:1–40 (The story of Jephthah and his vow)Ecclesiastes 5:4–8Deuteronomy 23:23Matthew 5:33–37Numbers 30:2Acts 5:1–10 (Ananias and Sapphira)Proverbs 18:21 Main Takeaways: Your words have power. Life and death are in the power of the tongue.God takes vows seriously. A careless promise can bring unintended consequences—even when made in desperation.Even believers in moral decline understood the seriousness of vows. The closing chapters of Judges reveal that even wayward Israelites wouldn't break an oath.Personal testimony affirms biblical truth. Jaime shares a powerful story of how her husband made a vow to God—and what happened when they delayed fulfilling it. Words shape your future. Whether spoken to God or over your own life, words matter. Jaime shares the inspirational story of marathoner Jesse Itzler and Navy SEAL Chad Wright to illustrate how declaration fuels endurance.

In this solo episode, Bobby Bosler reflects on a summer of surprising stability while ministering from his new home base in Fairmont, West Virginia. Drawing from Psalm 15, he explores the traits of someone who is unshakable—not because of circumstances, but because of nearness to God. With biblical insight and practical challenges, this episode calls young listeners to examine their own lives and find spiritual stability in drawing close to the Lord.Topics DiscussedSummer gospel victories in West VirginiaHow Psalm 15 defines spiritual stabilityThe question: “Who shall dwell in thy holy hill?”What it means to walk blamelessly and obedientlyInternal honesty vs. self-deceptionThe dangers of slander and taking up offensesLearning to hate sin and love righteousnessKeeping your word, even when it hurtsManipulation, corruption, and integrity in relationshipsA call to walk near to God for unshakable stabilityKey TakeawaysSpiritual stability isn't about external calm—it's about internal nearness to God.Psalm 15 gives practical, convicting marks of the unshakable believer.God desires not just outward obedience but inward honesty and consistent integrity.The things that make us unstable—manipulation, slander, compromise—can be replaced by holy living if we draw near to God.Living close to God will expose sin and bring the strength to live unmovable.

How often do we wait for motivation to show up—especially when it comes to our kids? I've been there too, thinking it would just "hit me" when the time was right. But here's what life has taught me: real motivation isn't found; it's built through action. In this episode, I'm getting real about what motivation actually looks like when you're a dad. I'm sharing the behind-the-scenes story of how my teenage son challenged me to step way outside my comfort zone — all the way to a bodybuilding stage. It wasn't about winning medals or getting a six-pack. It was about showing up, pushing through the hard days, and keeping promises to myself and to him. I'll break down the three simple but powerful rules we lived by during this journey—rules that helped us grow stronger as individuals and even closer as father and son. This isn't just about fitness. It's about choosing connection, ownership, and legacy, even when it's uncomfortable. If you've ever felt stuck, waiting for a spark to get started, this one's for you. Become the best husband and leader you can: www.thedadedge.com/mastermind In this episode, I'll explore: Why waiting for motivation can cost you priceless moments with your kids. The three simple rules that helped us grow stronger—on and off the bodybuilding stage. Why keeping promises to yourself builds lasting trust with your family. How saying "yes" to challenges can create memories that last a lifetime. Here's what research supports about the power of action and intention: Studies show that couples who engage in regular, small acts of kindness report a 28% increase in relationship satisfaction. Research indicates that setting specific, shared goals increases the likelihood of improved communication and intimacy by 35%. Prioritizing quality time has been shown to reduce feelings of loneliness in relationships by 20%. If you're ready to stop waiting for motivation and start actively building a stronger, more connected marriage, this episode is for you. Let's take that first step together. Key Takeaways Own your choices—no excuses. Prioritize connection over outcome Seek growth in discomfort.   What You'll Learn 00:00 - Introduction 00:41 – The Three Rules to Live By 01:13 – Keeping Promises to Yourself 03:33 – The Bodybuilding Challenge with My Son 04:52 – Family New Year's Traditions 06:18 – Confronting the Challenge: Initial Reactions 07:13 – The Power of Shared Motivation 07:59 – Changing Your “Why” and Motivation 08:44 – The Value of the Journey, Not Just the Results 09:59 – Lessons from Training Together 10:40 – Reflecting on Achievements vs. Experiences 11:36 – The True Value of Time Spent with Loved Ones 12:12 – A Message for My Son 13:04 – Taking Opportunities Before They're Gone 13:35 – Committing to the Process Together 14:16 – Digging Deep for Your “Why” 14:53 – What Really Matters: Metals vs. Memories 15:22 – Closing Thoughts and Next Week's Episode Links www.thedadedge.com/friday205 www.themensforge.com www.thedadedge.com/25questions www.thedadedge.com/alliance
