Podcasts about Make A Difference

As Christian men, we are called to more than just living for ourselves—we are called to impact the world around us for God's glory. But making a difference doesn't always mean big platforms or public recognition. It starts with faithfulness in the small things: loving your family well, serving your church, living with integrity at work, and investing in your community.   Featuring Pastor Tony Johnson At the BetterMan Michigan Conference 2025

Christmas is all about the birth of the Messiah. The promised King. If you were to close your eyes and envision a ruling and reigning king of kings coming to save the world, what would you see? I'd bet you wouldn't envision the same kind of king that Isaiah described in his prophecy in Isaiah 9:6-7. This series will shine a fresh light on the four descriptors Isaiah gave Him, showing us a King whose presence brings promise for all of us. -At Discover Church, we exist to see our city changed by Jesus, one life at a time by helping people discover LIFE in Christ, BELONGING in Community & PURPOSE in God's Calling on their life so that they can MAKE A DIFFERENCE.-You can join us live on Sunday mornings at 9:00 or 10:45am, either in person or online!

On this Make A Difference Minute, Heather Nawrocki with AARP offers practical encouragement for anyone feeling the sting of loneliness, especially adults over 45. New research shows that nearly 4 in 10 people in midlife are struggling with disconnection, shrinking friendships, and the pressure of juggling work, family, and caregiving. Heather reminds us that loneliness doesn't mean something is wrong with you, it simply means you were made for connection. She shares simple, meaningful steps anyone can take to start rebuilding that connection, both during the holidays and long after they're over. A small reach, a small invitation, a small moment of courage can make a big difference. Sponsor: Bankston Motor Homes BankstonMotorHomes.com

On this Make A Difference Minute, we are highlighting a woman who has spent her life serving others. Her name is Savannah Butler. She is a wife, a mom to five children, a dedicated friend and coworker, and a United States Marine veteran who has always been the kind of person who steps up when someone needs help. Savannah was first diagnosed with Ewing Sarcoma in 2020. She fought through chemo and radiation and returned to caring for her family and serving her community. Recently, new symptoms led to more tests, and she has now been diagnosed with Stage 4 Ewing Sarcoma. This time the cancer is more aggressive, and her treatment will take her to specialists at Vanderbilt and to Houston for a possible clinical trial. Tye Hutt, one of Savannah's closest friends, says Savannah has always been strong for others. Now, she hopes the community will stand strong for her.

He also highlights resources available for new dads who may be struggling in silence. Sponsor: Premier Structures, Inc. PremierStructures.com

The rumors are true: our world is a dumpster fire, and it feels like it's growing hotter and stinkier by the day. If it feels hopeless, like it's useless for one person to even try, perhaps it's a change in perspective. This week, Adam sits with two philosophers to explain why change is ALWAYS possible. Alex Madva is a professor of philosophy at Cal Poly Pomona, and Michael Brownstein is a professor of philosophy at the CUNY Graduate Center.

Sometimes our doubts feel like a monster hiding in the dark - awkward, intimidating, and bigger than it really is.

Calling in from Cleveland, Lorenzo shares his Honduran–Puerto Rican roots, growing up in a multicultural household, and how food, family, and community helped shape his identity. He talks about his time in Indianapolis while earning his master's degree at Butler University, the city's vibrant Latino presence, and how those experiences influenced his artistic journey.

It seems like such a power move: "un-friending" or blocking someone on social media. It's the modern-day equivalent of someone on a 90s sitcom or daytime drama saying, "I'm outta here" before leaving an argument and walking out. Jeremy Bradley doesn't understand the politics of social media blocking when adults are communicating -- or not communicating. He recently discovered that several relatives "un-friended" him and laughed because he had no idea it happened. "Was it last week? Three years ago? I don't even know," he said. "Clearly it wasn't impactful to send a message." He talks about how juvenile and petty people make social media communications.

On this MADM, Trey Calloway shares the story behind his new Christmas single, Christmas With You. Sponsor: Green's Dependable Hardware GreensHardware.net

Clay spent the entire first hour of Episode #1105 tearing into the newly unsealed Jeffrey Epstein court files with the kind of no-filter commentary that only he delivers. Bottom line: there never was and never will be a magical “client list.” The real blackmail material is locked away in intelligence-agency vaults, buried in boxes inside boxes, and no one from Congress to the President himself will ever get the keys, because that leverage is still far too valuable.   What was just released is a batch of documents Epstein's estate quietly handed to Democrats years ago, files they sat on for over a decade because they make their own side look horrific while barely touching Republicans. Clay's prediction is blunt: this isn't about nailing Trump (Trump was the original whistleblower two-and-a-half decades ago, which is exactly why Epstein and his handlers despised him and fed dirt to Democrat operatives). Instead, it's the younger Democrat guard—AOC, Ro Khanna, and that whole crowd—finally shoving the compromised old guard (Bill Clinton, the former Harvard president, and a laundry list of others) off the ship so they can take the wheel. It's a Democrat civil war playing out in slow motion.   He hammered the hypocrisy hard: the same people now screaming “justice for the victims” had total control of the government during both Obama terms and the Biden “third Obama term” and did absolutely nothing while Epstein operated in plain sight. Every single victim is in their mid-40s now, cashed massive settlement checks, signed iron-clad NDAs, and could name names tomorrow if they actually wanted “justice” more than money; they don't.   Clay wrapped it up with a stone-cold reality check: Democrats had zero sacred cows when it came to smearing Trump, even if that meant openly colluding with a convicted pedophile in 2019. The release is pure political theater designed to burn aging Democrat power brokers while the new guard consolidates control. Trump walks away looking cleaner than ever, and the real files stay buried forever. Raw, unapologetic, and vintage Clay.

We spend so much time pulled between yesterday's regrets and tomorrow's worries that we miss the strength and peace available to us right now. This segment encourages listeners to release what they can't control and settle into the present moment, where healing, growth, and real life actually happen.

In this episode, Cami Eakins and Lisa Grund explore the power of gratitude—how it shapes leadership, strengthens community, and helps us stay grounded in an abundance mindset even during challenging times. Through the lens of Career Path Services' 25 Days of Gratitude campaign, they reflect on the partners, staff, and supporters who make hope tangible every day, and why gratitude is far more than a seasonal theme. It's a year-round practice that keeps us connected to our purpose, open to possibility, and mindful of the people who walk alongside us in this work. Tune in for a conversation about appreciation, resilience, and the generosity that fuels meaningful impact.

Sometimes our doubts feel like a monster hiding in the dark - awkward, intimidating, and bigger than it really is. We try to ignore it or hide it, afraid that admitting our questions might make us seem faithless. But the real danger isn't doubt itself; it's keeping it in the dark. In The Shadow of Doubt, we'll bring that “monster” into the light and discover that it's not so scary after all. We will see, biblically, that God isn't threatened by our questions - He meets us in them. Through this series, we'll give practical tools for wrestling with doubt and strengthening faith. -At Discover Church, we exist to see our city changed by Jesus, one life at a time by helping people discover LIFE in Christ, BELONGING in Community & PURPOSE in God's Calling on their life so that they can MAKE A DIFFERENCE.-You can join us live on Sunday mornings at 9:00 or 10:45am, either in person or online!

On this Make A Difference Minute, I'm reminding listeners that not everything we pick up in life is ours to carry. Many of us hold on to stress, guilt, and responsibility that was never meant for us. This segment encourages listeners to recognize what they can control, release what they can't, and protect their peace by letting go of burdens that don't belong on their shoulders.

On this Make A Difference Minute, I'm reminding listeners that progress comes from focusing on what you can control, not on what others choose not to do. It's easy to get distracted by the lack of effort, support, or responsibility around us, but real growth happens when we stay committed to our own work, our own integrity, and our own consistency. This segment encourages listeners to redirect their attention from frustration to purpose and keep moving forward with clarity and strength. Sponsor: Bankston Motor Homes BankstonMotorHomes.com
