Podcasts about little faith

We're so glad you're joining us at New Covenant Church! This weekend, Pastor Stephen Warnock continues our series "Seeds" with a message about having faith in a God that is bigger than our fear and experiences in the past, and how to grow our faith.Message Notes:http://bible.com/events/49669471Join us in person at 9:00am or 10:30am at our North or South Locations, or tune in to our online service at 10:30am.

In this sermon, Peter: A Next-Level Believer — Next Level Believers Risk Failure, Pastor Rick examines Peter’s experience of sinking after stepping out of the boat, showing how fear, little faith, and self-doubt can contribute to failure even when a believer has had the courage to take a risk. The message also uses Israel’s failure at the Promised Land to teach that failure can carry consequences, affect future generations, and become either a warning or a lesson that helps believers make wiser decisions.

“Trust is something that can only be built by consistently doing the right thing over an extended period of time.” - Jeremy DeBruinThank you for tuning in to The CUInsight Network, with your host, Robbie Young, Vice President of Strategic Growth at CUInsight. In The CUInsight Network, we take a deeper dive with the thought leaders who support the credit union community. We discuss issues and challenges facing credit unions and identify best practices to learn and grow together.My guest on today's show is Jeremy DeBruin, Senior Area Vice President at Gallagher. Jeremy's story perfectly captures what sets the credit union market apart, and he shares how growing up in a blue-collar family shaped his outlook on work, leadership, and service—and why a pivotal moment from his childhood gave him an appreciation for a people-first philosophy. We discuss Jeremy's path into executive benefits, and the role Gallagher plays in helping credit unions hold onto exceptional leaders while remaining accountable long after a plan is put into place. Jeremy explains why his team is committed to providing guidance, administrative support, and follow-through for decades, ensuring credit unions have a trusted partner throughout the life of every plan!Throughout our conversation, we spend time discussing what the strongest organizations are doing to prepare for the future, from succession planning and attracting younger leadership to building cultures that encourage talented people to stay and grow. Jeremy offers some thoughtful insights into how trust is earned, why patience often leads to better decisions than chasing the latest trend, and how an entire team working behind the scenes helps deliver the consistency clients depend on year after year.As we wrap up the episode, Jeremy undergoes the usual round of rapid-fire questions, and he shares the leadership lessons that he learned from his father and longtime mentor Rich Brock. He also shares his fascination with mechanical watches, his favorite places to travel, the books that help keep his priorities in perspective, and why he remains deeply grateful to spend his career serving credit unions.

We're running one of our favorite episodes from The Business of You archives. If you missed it the first time, or just want to listen again, check this one out! Nick Ambeliotis knows what it takes to turn a small business into a national brand. Born from a deep-rooted appreciation for fine foods, Nick founded Mediterra Cafe to satisfy his longtime passion and to provide a warm and inviting gathering space for Pittsburgh natives and visitors alike.  Mediterra is a wholesale production facility for artisan bread whose customers include Whole Foods, Trader Joe's, and the Ritz-Carlton. Nick opened his first cafe location in June 2018 with the mission of serving high-quality coffee, pastries, breakfast, and lunch, in addition to hard-to-find cheeses, charcuterie, and more. Mediterra has since grown to three locations but remained a family-owned and operated business. Spiritual Guidance Advice from spiritual elders has played an important part in Nick's business journey. It was during an elder consultation at his church that he first decided to open a bakery, specifically with a mission-driven lens. Mediterra gives away hundreds of loaves of bread every day. Their facility in Arizona also makes extra bread to be transported to families in need in Mexico. All three cafe locations have grown to incredible financial success, averaging $1,000 per square foot in sales per day — but for Nick, faith always comes first. His primary goal is always to be a good steward of the wealth the company generates, which means giving back as much as possible and sharing the company with his family. Building an Industry-Leading Brand If you want to build an industry-leading company, Nick says three main factors contributed to Mediterra's success. The first was his willingness to learn from experts in the field. Nick spent years working for his father's retail business and later for specialty food importers. Second, understand what your market wants. Mediterra sells handmade artisan bread, which means they need customers who appreciate premium products. So he chose cafe locations in neighborhoods with high foot traffic and disposable income. They also started with multiple product options to understand which items were most popular. Lastly, it's critical to hire the right people for the right roles. For his service team, Nick prefers artistic types who are engaging and enjoy talking to customers all day. On the backend, provide instructions to make sure the work is done to a high standard, but micromanaging employees doesn't help anyone. Enjoy this episode with Nick Ambeliotis… Soundbytes  36:08–36:25 "It literally just happened organically and by never compromising what we do, and just trying to find ways to make bread better, faster, all the time." 47:18–47:44 "The big thing in business is, find something that you're going to want to do the rest of your life, if you really want to be a businessman. Find something that you know when you get up in the morning, you're going to want to go and do it. And secondly is, there's nothing like practical experience from people who know what they're doing." Quotes "As many revenue sources as you can have, as long as they're good and you research them, you'll do well." "The only way someone's going to learn is if they fail." "There's a lot of sorrow in the world and a lot of people who are really suffering. So it's always been our mission: what can we do to help? We've never lost sight of that mission." "If you feel you're Christ-based, you're going to be shown the direction." "I'm not worried about gaining wealth as long as you're a good steward of it." "You can't listen to God and what He has to say if you're in all the noise."

What happens when we are doing exactly what Jesus has called us to do—and the wind is still against us?In Matthew 14:22–33, the disciples struggle through the night against a relentless headwind. Peter steps out of the boat at Jesus' command, only to become overwhelmed when he realizes the strength of the wind around him. This episode explores the headwinds that resist us, the surprising power of “Little Faith,” and the Christ who comes to us when we are exhausted, frightened, and struggling to keep going.

Solomon reflects on the idea of timing for everything.The account of Jesus isn't limited to the Gospel of John is affirmed.PASSAGE OF THE DAY 118But Jesus, being aware of it, said to them, "O you of little faith, why do you reason among yourselves because you have brought no bread?"Matthew 16: 8

In this episode of A Little Faith, Michael interviews Bro. Russell Dawes from Toronto, Ontario, who attends the Toronto East (formerly Cobourg) Ecclesia and shares his journey into the Christadelphian community. Russell, nearly 96, was not raised religious but began seeking answers during World War II, especially about death and belief. After meeting his wife Muriel in 1950 and being influenced by her strong faith, he began studying Scripture, including reading “Elpis Israel” with a Bible and dictionary, and was baptized in 1953. He reflects on how Bible schools attended yearly from 1960 for decades became a defining spiritual “eureka” and how international travel for work allowed him to fellowship with Christadelphians worldwide, and created lifelong friendships. Russell also describes raising baptized children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren, and emphasizes the lasting importance of close, spiritually minded relationships and ecclesial fellowship. Russell is an example to all of us about spiritual devotion, and devotion in marriage.

The Cause Indonesia is called to preach the gospel of grace and Jesus-finished work

Message from Pastor Daniel Bernard on July 5, 2026

When Jesus rebuked the disciples for having “little faith” in Matthew 8, He was not speaking of saving faith—He was addressing the practical, daily faith needed to trust Him in the middle of a storm. In today's episode of the MY Devotional Podcast, Dr. Michael Youssef reminds believers that when intimacy with God weakens, fear and panic can quickly take over. Fear-conquering faith requires absolute trust in God's sovereignty. It is the kind of faith that depends on Him completely, receives what He provides with an open heart, and believes He is working out His purposes even when the storm is raging. Romans 8:28 assures us that God works all things for the good of those who love Him and are called according to His purpose. Dr. Youssef challenges a common contradiction in the Christian life: we trust God with our eternal souls, yet often hesitate to trust Him with our daily needs. God wants our professed faith to become lived faith—faith that trusts Him with relationships, resources, decisions, fears, and the future. When you walk closely with God and seek Him in prayer at the first sign of fear, your focus shifts from the storm to the Savior. And as your focus remains on Him, fear begins to fade into the background. Prayer: God, I trust You with my salvation, but sometimes I struggle with trusting You with the details of my life. Strengthen my daily living faith so that my trust in You is greater than my fears. I pray in the name of Jesus. Amen. “If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you—you of little faith?” (Matthew 6:30).

Anxiety is everywhere. Roughly 38 million American adults are taking medication to manage it—a number that has climbed sharply since 2019. But anxiety isn't just a modern problem, and it isn't merely a clinical one. In this message from Philippians 4:5–7, guest speaker David Forsyth makes the case that anxiety is a sin of little faith—common to all believers, not unique to a few—and that Scripture offers a clear, three-part prescription to address it.First, adjust your focus. "The Lord is near" is not a throwaway phrase but a statement of eschatological reality. Caesar is not Lord. Circumstances are not Lord. The risen Christ is Lord, and he stands near, interceding for his children.Second, cease worry and pray. Paul's command is direct: be anxious for nothing, prayerful in everything. The antidote to worry isn't willpower—it's prayer built on a foundation of thanksgiving. Gratitude resets the soul and establishes the atmosphere in which believing prayer can flourish.Third, believe God's promise. The peace that guards hearts and minds in Christ Jesus is supernatural—it surpasses comprehension. It is God himself standing watch over his children.David Forsyth is honest: this isn't a quick cure. The battle with anxiety is lifelong. But long obedience in the same direction pays off, and God's grace is more than sufficient for the fight. ★ Support this podcast ★

You have been a believer for some time, perhaps for many years. But then some crisis erupts in your life, and you say, “Lord, increase my faith!” Pastor Colin talks about 5 ways to grow in faith.

All of us have times when we feel our faith is small. But no believer should be content with little faith. Pastor Colin talks about 5 reasons to grow in faith and 5 strategies for growing in faith.

In this episode of A Little Faith, Micahel interviews Stephanie Keating about her mission work in Phnom Penh, Cambodia, and the faith crisis she faced when COVID upended her life. Sponsored by WCF, Stephanie moved to Cambodia in 2017 to teach English and the Bible, eventually marrying a Cambodian brother Pisey in early 2020. As borders shut, work disappeared, and she became pregnant, Stephanie returned to Canada in July 2020 while Pisey stayed behind. Their applications for him to come to Canada were repeatedly refused, leaving them separated for nearly two years; Pisey first held their son Elisha at 17 months old. Stephanie shares anger, grief, and the struggle of “unanswered prayers,” and the scriptures that anchored her. 2 Kings 6 and Job 5:17–18 both stand out to Stephanie to help her frame suffering, and help her deepen her faith.

In this message from Matthew 14:22-33, we explore what Jesus actually means when he calls his disciples people of "little faith" — and why little faith is not the absence of faith, but a shift in attention away from Christ toward our circumstances. Through the story of Peter walking on water, we see how fear, doubt, and sinking moments don't disqualify us from Jesus's rescue — they invite it. When Peter cries out "Lord, save me," Jesus doesn't hesitate. This message is for anyone who feels like their faith isn't enough — because the good news is that Jesus meets us in the middle of the waves anyway.For upcoming events and important announcements at Skyline, visit our Facebook page or the Church Center App for the latest details!If you'd like to check out more resources, get to know Skyline Church, or donate to our ministry and missions please visit www.skylineofallon.com.

Little Faith—Little Power (Matthew 17:14-20)

Der US-Gitarrist Bill Frisell übernimmt eine improvisatorische Haltung aus dem Jazz, verbindet sie mit Americana-Elementen wie Country und entwickelt so einen völlig eigenen Stil, mit dem er ab den 1990er Jahren zu einer internationalen Jazzgrösse wird. Doch schon als er in den 80ern erstmals auf der Szene auftaucht, wollen namhafte Musiker unbedingt mit ihm spielen – allen voran der legendäre Schlagzeuger Paul Motian. Das liegt zum einen an Frisells charakteristischer Spielweise, aber auch an seinem unverwechselbaren Gitarrensound. Viele erkennen ihn bereits nach wenigen Tönen; die Gitarristin Anna Regina Kalk sagt sogar, ihr genüge schon einer. Sie ist bei Roman Hošek zu Gast in dieser Ausgabe der Jazz Collection.
