Podcasts about loving everyone

How loving everyone spiritually, including yourself, can change your life.  Healing tapping session at the end.

For if you love those who love you, what reward do you have? Do not even the tax collectors do the same? And if you greet only your brothers and sisters, what more are you doing than others? Do not even the gentiles do the same? --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/10-bible-verses/support

Having certain conversations with God can be TOUGH. Especially when it's a topic that has caused much debate. Join Progressively Becoming as we approach God with difficult, challenging YET necessary conversations.

God loves everyone, and desires that everyone find true life and abundance in Him. Because He loves everyone, He cannot accept sin. The satisfaction of sin is temporary. It eventually disappoints those it gratifies, and destroys the gracious intent of everything good God has created and designed for mankind. And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us [Jesus], and we have seen his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth...For from his fullness we have all received, grace upon grace. -- John 1:14,16

Imagine yourself riding with a friend in a taxi, when all of a sudden she begins talking to the driver about Jesus.  Would you be uncomfortable?  Well that's exactly what happened to Karen and that's what today's podcast is all about. Karen and her husband Renod are currently traveling throughout the Middle East, filming special videos for the Blue Cord Small Group Study. In addition, they are cultivating ministry partner relationships in the Middle East and ask for prayer while they travel. Karen has pre-recorded two solo episodes, a two-parter, that will inspire and embolden listeners with practical ways to live as an authentic witness across cultures in their everyday life. The keynote is about the first time Karen heard someone share the gospel outside of church. It happened in a taxi in Beirut, when her friend Caroline asked the Muslim taxi driver if he knew Jesus.Learn more about The Blue Cord at www.TheBlueCord.orgPurchase The Blue Cord book at: https://shop.churchleaders.com/products/the-blue-cord?_pos=1&_sid=c7e502826&_ss=rSupport The Blue Cord: https:www.iHOPEministries.org/giveTimestamps:00:00:00 Exploring Authentic Witness Across Cultures00:02:00 The Power of Sharing the Gospel00:04:00 Living as an Authentic Christian Witness Among Women of Other Faiths and Cultures00:10:00 The Five Biblical Essentials for Outreach to Muslims00:12:00 Loving Everyone.

It's easy to get caught up in the cares of the day, focusing on everything that needs to be done for everyone else. But never taking the time to show up for ourselves the same way we show up for others. But why is it that you never seem to have the time for yourself? It is because everyone else has made your list of priorities and you some how forgot to put yourself on that list? In this week's episode of Allow Your Greatness, we're talking about the importance of showing up for yourself by loving yourself just as much as you love others. I'm Tonya. Welcome to episode 37. I'm glad you're here! If you like this episode, consider following the show and please review and rate the podcast. Thanks for listening!

With so much hate going on in the world today, it seems that a lot of people forget to use love to heal. Some use religion as a guideline but some can be restrictive. But how does love work for you and I? On this episode we talk to author Juan Lee, author of "Love Made Simple," about making love simple. Juan Lee will tell us why most religions feel restrictive when it comes to the message of love and how to separate the message from the practice.

In Part 2 of “The Greatest Commandment” we focus in on the call to love others, as in everyone. And the thing about loving others is we don't mind when it's those who are easy to love. But when it's others who think, act, and behave differently than us? Well…. that's a different matter. So how do we embrace Jesus' command to love everyone? That's the question of this message.

soo excited to have our friend Chris Griffith from Rythm Church Chicago this Sunday, March 27th, to talk to ous about the way of love! Loving EVERYONE as is a commendment, and leaving us with three important points: 1. if I were going to follow the commandment to love God, I must have to love EVERYONE. 2. Love is a work of the spirit and not of the flesh 3. We can truly love our neighbor because he first loved us. Not a suggest, a commandment! Tune into the whole episode if you'd like to hear the full message of thenway of love! and as awlays we hope you have a wonderful week, God bless you all

We love all people or we break all God’s laws. Message shared by pastor Jody Been

Love one another. Love your enemies. Love your neighbor. Are Christians supposed to love everyone? What about people who are very different than them? What about people who go against the teaching of Jesus and his apostles?  Why does Jesus commend a widow who gives away everything she has to live on? Are we supposed to give away everything? That doesn't seem responsible. What's Jesus' point? Mark 12:41-44 41 And Jesus sat down opposite the treasury, and began watching how the people were putting money into the treasury; and many rich people were putting in large amounts.42 And a poor widow came and put in two lepta coins, which amount to a quadrans.43 Calling His disciples to Him, He said to them, “Truly I say to you, this poor widow put in more than all the contributors to the treasury; 44 for they all put in out of their surplus, but she, out of her poverty, put in all she owned, all she had to live on.”   Book mentioned in this episode*: People to Be Loved, Preston Sprinkle   Want to get more out of your Bible reading?

150 Years of Loving Everyone | This Is Your Story | Ethan Magness by First Christian Church

The week started all bright and shiny for me. It was my birthday week and I was excited because I love birthdays. Then events happened that left me feeling angry and sad and not sure what it means to love those around me. I was not sure what it meant to understand that even though someone does not believe the same as me, they are not my enemy. I was not sure as I read posts, watched news channels and talked with others what it meant to be a follower of Jesus who is called to Love the Lord with all my heart and then to love my neighbor as myself. I am struggling a bit with that and I am calling myself and you this next week to love those around us, even when we do not agree. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

Text: Luke 10:25-37 Series: Stories Jesus Told Preacher: Brian Stegner Idea: This is perhaps one of the more well known parables, so much so that the term "Good Samaritan" has burrowed it's way into our vernacular. But what was it like to be hearing this in the time of Jesus? What did he really intend us to hear? And where in this story does the gospel shine through?

How should traditional non-affirming churches interact with churches who do affirm same-sex marriage? Pastor Chris Galloway talks with hosts Joshua and TJ about a couple interviews they did concerning the relationship of the Church and the LGBT+ community.

Before leaving His disciples, Jesus gave them one commandment to obey and a great mission to accomplish. His Great Commandment was to love God and love others. His Great Commission was to go into all the world to make disciples. These verses are among His most often repeated words. At Southside, we believe a great commitment to the Great Commandment and the Great Commission will build a great church. If we are going to follow Jesus, we must do both. Join us for part two of Tightrope where we will consider the important tension that exists between these two directives and the dangers of doing one without the other.

Part 2 of our interview with Em. In this interview Em talks about her journey to self discovery and that the only persons actions you have to account for is your own, also the importance of love everyone. I hope you all enjoy it!

In this week's episode of the Follower of One podcast, Mike speaks with Kejal Shah. Kejal is a recruitment professional by trade with a genuine love for God and people. He has also started his national business brand called Krosspath Training which focuses on professional development and career coaching. Please welcome him to our network here at Follower of One!   Episode Breakdown   01:05 - Meet Kejal Shah 5:30 - Kejal's First Job Experience 17:20 - How Kejal's faith impacts his work 22:43 - Kejal's career coaching company 33:20 - Kejal's Thoughts on Moving Forward with God   Cherishing Value with God   How do you cherish your value with God? Are you using every interaction with someone as an exclamation of your faith? We know that every opportunity is important but it becomes easy to forget how we impact the lives of others daily. Kejal takes a unique approach to building value for every person he speaks with and in turn values those relationships over money. So, what are your reasons for being in your profession? Is it the money? Is it God? These are important questions to ask yourself. We want to bring God into our actions and stay focused on why we do something rather than the result.   Praying for Your Co-workers   If you have taken the Marketplace Mission Trip, you know one of the main steps is praying for your co-workers. Kejal's point of view is the same! He mentions in this episode how one simple question can bring new value to any situation. Are you praying for your co-workers? Have you asked them if you can pray for them? It might be a sensitive subject but Kejal knows it's necessary because that is what being a missionary in your work means. Take time to reflect on some of the actions you have taken in your workplace recently!   Fear   One of Kejal's favorite authors is John MacArthur. John says "Fear is the result of doubting or mistrusting God". This hit home for Kejal and us here at Follower of One. Fear is something we deal with every day, even when we talk about praying for our co-workers. Have you not asked because of fear of how someone might react? Whose approval are you seeking? We need to focus on seeking approval from God and not from numbers. Let the fear slip away as you trust God in your goals and ambitions. We don't know all the answers but God does, so trust him in the process!  Get in touch with Kejal:   Kejal Shah LinkedIn Krosspath Training Website Krosspath Training LinkedIn   Connect With Follower Of One Join us over in our Online Community, get social with us; Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and LinkedIn and subscribe to our YouTube channel.

Teaser title. It’s 41F in Arizona. Likely the coldest podcast of the last 12 months. This one is a “sermon” on “Loving Your Enemies” vs Loving Everyone, Always. Jesus was wrong? What? Say it ain’t so! If you enjoy, share with a friend. But wink wink. It has to be someone that gets it.

We should love people, but in healthy ways. You can't please everyone, ever! You literally may die trying. If you allow people to use you up, they will do just that! Learn the importance of loving and taking care of self.

Colin continues in our WATPOG series and explains how Jesus completes God’s revelation to humanity and gave us a new commandment, defining His life, “Love one another”, not just our people or our neighbour, but all people.

Pastor Tom Grieb concludes our series “Making a Difference.” In our church's Vision Statement, we sayabout ourselves that we will be a people who will “make a difference by following Christ, offering hope, serving others, and loving everyone.”  This week we concern ourselves with what it means to “love everyone,”  taking a close look at the Great Commandment from Matthew 22:34-40, which calls on us to “love God with all our heart, soul, mind, and strength” and “to love our neighbors as we love ourselves.” For Christ, love for God leads to love for neighbor.  One follows the other.  In Christ's mind, the proving ground of our love for God is meted out as we offer love to other people.  In an often mean-spirited and divisive world so in need of love, it comes to us, with Christ's help, to love those around us.  It comes to us to receive God's love and then share the same with others.  I John 4:19 puts it well, “We love because God first loved us.”  As we allow God's love to become more a part of our lives we are empowered, if not enabled, to love as he wants us to, thereby making the Great Commandment possible in our lives.

Jesus calls ALL followers to live into the kind of life he lead…LOVING EVERYONE, Standing against EVIL, Identifying as the WEAK and VULNERABLE, Speaking TRUTH. His followers are PROPHETS, SERVANTS, MISSIONARIES, MARTYRS…CHILDREN! These are NOT OPTIONAL subcategories of discipleship the same way the BEATITUDES are for all of us. 40 “Anyone who welcomes you welcomes me, and anyone who welcomes me welcomes the one who sent me. 41 Whoever welcomes a prophet as a prophet will receive a prophet’s reward, and whoever welcomes a righteous person as a righteous person will receive a righteous person’s reward. 42 And if anyone gives even a cup of cold water to one of these little ones who is my disciple, truly I tell you, that person will certainly not lose their reward.” - Matthew 10:40-42

Christianity (verb): loving everyone equally without partiality or prejudice Here are the notes on this week's passage to be used in Life Groups and personal study

Elizabeth Williams-Riley, President & CEO for the American Conference on Diversity, brings more than two decades of experience in education, training, and consulting on diversity and inclusion matters working with corporations, nonprofits, professional associations, communities and schools, nationally and on the local level. She was recently named Girls Scouts of America Jersey Shore 2015 Woman of Distinction, 2013 Woman Worth Watching, and is featured in Diversity Journal. Elizabeth is also a 2014 Lead New Jersey Fellow. She is a dynamic presenter, facilitator, and diversity and inclusion expert. Click to tweet: .@AmConfDiversity is sharing her story to inspire you on Women Taking the Lead https://womentakingthelead.com/202 #inspiration Playing Small Moment In Elizabeth’s teenage years, she had to come to terms with being comfortable with the skin she is in, her size and who she was. Her mother suggested that she audition for a beauty pageant. Elizabeth was convinced that she did not fit the mold for a beauty pageant. Though she was very involved in her community, school and church, Elizabeth felt that she was just not one of those girls. Her mom persisted and said there was no reason for her not to audition. Elizabeth followed her mother’s advice and ended up not only making her way through, but won! Elizabeth realized she was the one getting in her own way. The Wake Up Call There was a school in Orlando that was turning 100 years old and for the celebration, Elizabeth was asked to create a wall of history featuring images from the last century. As she was collecting the photos, she realized there were no pictures of people like her. Elizabeth used this as motivation to go out into the community and connect with people, often going door-to-door, listening to many stories and collecting photos. Elizabeth knew that she needed a complete picture of the history of this school, and she owed it to the community to feature the different people who contributed and why it was important for everyone to be included. From that point on, she made it a point to respect and value everyone she met and creating and believing in the humanity of individuals. Style of Leadership Elizabeth ensures to keep herself very humble. She also believes you need to be a good follower in order to be a good leader. Elizabeth is thoughtful when she engages individuals and keeps direct conversations but remains respectful throughout. Elizabeth is also very in tune with her own vulnerability. She is passionate, driven by what she does, but is also driven by the relationships she holds with those around her. What Are You Excited About? Elizabeth is part of a statewide No Hate campaign that was launched in January. To kick off the campaign, they held a town hall meeting discussing the meaning of hate and how it manifests in current society. Elizabeth finds it as a wonderful opportunity to engage people in bold dialog and learn from each other in a respectful environment. Elizabeth believes that when we want to learn and grow, we need to make sure we are thinking about all of us, not some of us. Biggest Leadership Challenge Fundraising is the greatest challenge that Elizabeth finds in the non-profit sector. That challenge holds so many great opportunities that it makes it all worth it. Leadership Practice The process of being able to really hear what people are saying without thinking of your rebuttal, active listening, is so important to Elizabeth. You are not listening to reply; you are listening to seek understanding. For Elizabeth, it has been one of her strongest skill sets because it allows her to see where people are coming from. Communication is a two-sided process. Advice For Younger Self Elizabeth would tell her younger self to never underestimate the value of her authentic self. Allowing your authentic self to show up wherever you go, provides consistency in your life. You don’t have to hide your mannerisms to fit in.
