Podcasts about life is hard

"Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds.” James 1:2   Alice Churnock, from our Vestavia, Alabama community group, shares her story of suffering from a bleeding disorder for thirty years, which stamped shame and embarrassment on her soul and ultimately led her to intense anger with God as the complications from her disorder led her to difficulties having children.    However, after experiencing an unexpected and abrupt miscarriage, God met Alice, as only a loving and good Father can, and brought her to a deeper faith and ultimately a healed body.  This story will encourage you to know that God can handle your anger and questions, but you must also be ready to listen for His answers.    IN THIS EPISODE, YOU WILL LEARN:  - God uses pain and trauma to grow your faith more than He uses the blessings He has given you - the blessings are often a byproduct of the pain.  - God is relational, and in a relationship, there is speaking AND listening by BOTH parties.  - Joy is an inner attitude regardless of your circumstances.   Links:   Covenant Counseling   “One Touch“ by Nicole C.

Do you ever feel like life is just too much? Maybe you're walking through a trial that won't let up... Still waiting on a breakthrough... Still praying for answers that haven't come. If you've ever felt like all hope is lost—you're not alone. In Psalm 42, David pours out his heart in a season of deep despair. But even in the darkest moments, he reminds us where true hope is found. Let's look at his words together and rediscover the unshakable hope we have in God.   ABOUT: Lina AbuJamra is a Pediatric ER doctor, now practicing telemedicine, and founder of Living With Power Ministries.

When life is at its hardest, how do we respond? We're looking to Scripture for advice that, at first, seems crazy. But, if we apply it, we'll discover the beautiful truth that our trials have the potential to help us become who we're meant to be. | SWITCH IRL | Find a location near you here: https://www.life.church/locations/ | SOCIAL | Switch YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/SwitchYouthSwitch Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lcswitch Switch Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/SWITCHonline Switch TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@switchyth Switch Music Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/switchmsc Switch Music YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/SwitchMSC Switch Music Website: https://www.life.church/switch-music Switch Music Spotify: https://go2.lc/SwitchMusicSpotifySwitch is a place where students get to have fun with friends while focusing on growing their relationship with God.

Peter calls believers to live in harmony with one another. This life is marked by unity, compassion, love, humility, and sympathy. He urges them not to repay evil for evil, or insult for insult, but instead to bless others, reflecting the grace they themselves have received. Peter reminds his readers that they are called to this way of life, inheriting a blessing in return. Quoting from Psalm 34, he emphasizes that those who desire to love life and see good days must turn from evil, control their speech, and actively seek peace. Finally, Peter reassures believers that God watches over the righteous and listens to their prayers, while standing against those who do evil. This assurance provides both encouragement and a sobering reminder of God’s justice. Visit us online at: RenewalChurch.net

Life isn't easy, and that's okay. This talk is a gentle reminder that it's normal to feel overwhelmed, but it's also proof that you're stronger than you think. Through heartfelt words and a spark of light, you'll reconnect with the strength and hope that's always been within you. This is the sign you've been waiting for. Thank you so much for listening. Sending you so much light and love.

Life can be painful and uncertain, and it's easy to feel overwhelmed. In "Life is Hard, But Christ is Risen," Pastor Dave Gustavsen shares the story of Mary Magdalene, who stood at Jesus' tomb thinking all hope was lost. But when Jesus called her by name, everything changed — He was alive, and she was not alone. Because Christ is risen, we can face life's hardest moments with hope, knowing He sees us, knows us, and is with us.

When it feels like the weight of the world is on your shoulders, you might find yourself feeling hopeless. But what if Easter could mean something real—for you? There's a powerful hope that's still true today. See how it can change everything for you.

In this Palm Sunday sermon, we journey together into the heart of Holy Week, reflecting on the profound significance of Jesus' triumphant entry into Jerusalem. As we explore the fulfillment of ancient prophecies, we recognize that Jesus, the Lamb of God, entered the city not just as a historical event but as a pivotal moment in our faith. We are reminded that our praise is not contingent on our circumstances, personality, or preferences, but is a response to the worthiness of God. Through the powerful testimony of a sister in Christ, we learn that praise is a choice rooted in the character of God, even amidst life's deepest trials. As we prepare for Easter, we are called to testify to His faithfulness, letting our lives and voices resound with praise, for everything God created is meant to glorify Him.

Life is hard. Today we celebrate Palm Sunday, remembering the day Jesus rode into Jerusalem as King. The crowds praised God and cheered for Jesus to take the thrown, but Jesus didn't give them what they wanted. Days later Jesus gave them what needed as he gave his life on the cross. Life is hard for us too and Jesus doesn't give us everything we want. Life is hard, so we pray. And Jesus gives us what we need.Recorded live at Word of Life Church in Le Sueur, Minnesota, on Palm Sunday, April 13, 2024, Pastor Jason Lang preaching.Powered by Restream https://restream.io/(Bensound Royality Free background music)

Today on Like It Matters Radio Mr. Black wants listeners to consider a Grand Question, “Which one are you gonna be?” Life is about choices, and about what we do with the consequences of those choices. If we are going to be honest let’s admit; 1- Life aint no fair. 2- Life Is Hard. The Bible says that a righteous man will stumble 7 times but get back up. The wicked will stumble into ruin. We cannot control what happens to us in life, but we can choose how we respond. We experience life once, then we codify our experiences in memories that are stored in pictures, words, feelings, smells and tastes. There is a saying that illustrates this concept of choices. “Two men sit behind bars. One sees mud, the other sees stars”. Dr. Viktor Frankl the great Austrian Psychotherapist, the founder of the Will to Meaning, and Logo Therapy said, “Between the stimulus and the response there is a space. IN that space is your power and your freedom, your liberty.” Today Mr. Black will use the real-life situation of Team 892 in Las Vegas. We had 8 people scheduled for a life changing event. At the end of the training, there were only 5 people that were still there and living life like it matters! This is a situation that plays out millions of times daily and people use their consequences to play victim, to covet and to blame the world for their choices. We are better than this! Tune into Like It Matters Radio for an hour of power as you hear from Mr. Black and recent graduates from Team 892. Be inspired, get educated and be ready to be different!

Podcast Notes Episode 452 Life is Hard - God is Good - Let's Dance Host: Brian Miller, PCC Guest: Brant HansenDate: February 13, 2025 In this episode, we dive into a conversation about finding real joy in a world that feels increasingly anxious. Brant Hansen (author, advocate, and nationally syndicated radio host) discusses his new book, Life is Hard. God is Good. Let's Dance., which explores the concept of a deep, pervasive sense of well-being regardless of circumstances. We unpack the root causes of modern anxiety, the impact of attention and choice overload, and practical ways to cultivate peace through trust and gratitude. Key Highlights: Joy Beyond Circumstances – True joy isn't about ignoring difficulties but developing a sense of well-being that transcends them. Jesus' teachings on peace are not unrealistic but attainable. The Source of Anxiety – Anxiety is often shaped by what we pay attention to, not necessarily by external circumstances. Our modern culture's constant choices and social comparisons amplify stress. Outsourcing Worry to God – A simple yet powerful practice: give your worries to God, as scripture encourages, and pivot toward gratitude to cultivate peace. Trusting God's Character – True faith is trust. Even when we don't understand everything, trusting in God's character provides a sense of security amidst life's uncertainties. Takeaways: Anxiety is not inevitable – Through intentional focus and faith, we can reframe our thoughts and reduce anxiety. Gratitude is a game-changer – Shifting from worry to thankfulness has proven psychological and spiritual benefits. Faith means trusting, not controlling – True peace comes not from trying to control every outcome, but from trusting God's plan.

This week, Tyler delves into some of the darkest truths in Ecclesiastes, examining how injustice, suffering, and mortality shape human existence. It also offers a stark contrast between a worldview without God (leading to despair) and one with God (providing hope and purpose). While Ecclesiastes paints a bleak picture of life without God, Christianity offers hope beyond suffering. Tyler presents three key truths that separate a Christian worldview from an atheistic one: 1. God Suffers With Us 2. God is Working Against Evil 3. There Will Be Final Judgment and Justice Ecclesiastes is honest about suffering, but Christianity offers a way to deal with it. Without God, suffering is meaningless. With God, suffering is part of a redemptive story. ~ Jesus entered suffering to show us that God cares. ~ Evil is not from God, but He is actively working against it. ~ Final judgment ensures that every wrong will be made right. ~ Christian hope is stronger than secular despair. ~ You can trade a worldview of indifference for one of purpose, love, and eternity.

Date: 1/2/2011Life is filled with good days and bad days. How should you respond when life is very difficult? The Bible shares many stories of people who had a hard time in life.

Brant Hansen is convinced that, regardless of circumstances, you can have a deep sense of well-being. Not only is it possible, it's promised to all who follow Jesus. Our guest doesn't claim to follow a success plan. He just keeps simply showing up and taking Jesus very seriously. And by taking Jesus seriously in all of life, Brant has become more joyful, more peaceful and full of laughter.  In Life Is Hard, God Is Good, Let's Dance, Brant does what he does best—shares stories from around the world, as well as from his own heart and head, with a writing style that will likely make you laugh, cry, and rethink your outlook on life and the kingdom of God.

Many women believe that a man will not respect them -- or consider them for a long-term relationship -- if she is too "easy" in the courtship process. This is not true. When it comes to their relationships, men don't want a challenge. This is because -- when it comes to the average man -- his life is hard enough.

Do you ever feel like you don't measure up? Like life's challenges leave you clinging to nothing but God's grace? It's easy to see our struggles as the worst thing that could happen to us. But the Bible shows us that our broken places are often where God does His most transformative work. Today I want to encourage you with a message I recently shared at an event from John 21: The goodness of God when life is hard.  I believe this word will uplift and remind you of the incredible grace and power of God's love even in the most unexpected places—our weaknesses, our sins, our doubts.    ABOUT: Lina AbuJamra is a Pediatric ER doctor, now practicing telemedicine, and founder of Living With Power Ministries.
