Podcasts about little faith

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.

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.

SUNDAY MORNING

"Prayer reconnects us to God, and fasting removes the competition." — Pastor Ryan Kramer In this message, Pastor Ryan Kramer explores the gap between knowing God's power and experiencing it. When we face "this kind" of mountain—the stubborn habits, the long-term obstacles, or the silent heavens—the answer isn't simply more faith, but faith placed in the right Person. By understanding our nature as body, soul, and spirit, we can use the tools of prayer and fasting to bring our lives back into harmony with God's will. -- The Danger of Familiarity: How past successes can lead us to rely on our own strength and routines rather than a fresh dependence on the Holy Spirit. -- Little Faith vs. Mustard Seed Faith: Why Jesus rebuked the disciples for "little faith" but praised the "mustard seed." It isn't about the size of your faith, but where you place it. -- The Triune Being: Understanding how our body (fleshly appetites) and soul (mind and emotions) often compete with our spirit for control. -- Prayer and Fasting: The two-fold process of reconnecting with the Creator while intentionally silencing the distractions and cravings that hinder our spiritual growth. -- The Purpose of Difficulty: Recognizing that God allows "uncomfortable" seasons to move us from casual faith to a deeper, more transformative reliance on Him. Scriptures for Further Study -- Matthew 17:1-21 -- Deuteronomy 32:5 -- Matthew 10:1 -- Genesis 1:26-27 +++++++ Join us for church this Sunday.

Why Are You Afraid, You Men Of Little Faith( Matthew 8:23-27 )

The sermon delivers a sobering warning about the dangers of both no faith and little faith, illustrating how spiritual blindness and neglect of God's revealed truth lead to severe consequences. Drawing from Matthew 16:1–12, it contrasts the Pharisees and Sadducees—religious leaders with no faith who reject Christ despite overwhelming signs—with the disciples, who, despite being believers, exhibit little faith by misinterpreting Jesus' warning about 'leaven' as a concern about bread rather than the corrupting influence of religious hypocrisy. The central message is that faith is not optional but essential for discernment, and a lack of faith—whether in unbelief or spiritual complacency—results in blindness to God's work, hardened hearts, and vulnerability to deception. The remedy is intentional, daily engagement with Scripture, meditation on Christ's redemptive work, and communal discipleship, which cultivate a faith strong enough to resist the leaven of worldly and religious compromise and to stand firm in the face of opposition.

Life had been good to our guests. They had traveled the world as overseas teachers. They were blessed with a strong marriage, a nice house, great jobs, and a happy, healthy two-year old son. Was God a part of their lives? Some. But He was about to re-enter in a very big way through a very small baby. Their daughter, Faith was born weighing 450 grams. Four grams less than a pound. A true micro preemie. She was given no chance to live, but after insisting on intervention, and turning to prayer, miracles began to happen as his faith, belief, and love of God grew.Become a Parshall Partner: http://moodyradio.org/donateto/inthemarket/partnersSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
