Podcasts about Making Room

What if the very thing you see as failure is actually creating room for God to do something greater?In this powerful message from the Netflex and Chill series, Pastor Jamal delivers a life-changing word titled “Space Maker,” challenging us to stop viewing our empty places as evidence of God's absence and start seeing them as opportunities for His presence.Using Luke 5 and the story of Simon Peter's empty fishing boat, Pastor Jamal reveals a profound truth: Jesus didn't choose a boat that was full of fish—He chose the empty one.Why?Because empty things have space.Many of us spend our lives trying to avoid disappointment, failure, and seasons of lack. Yet often it is in those very moments that God gains access to areas of our lives we would never have surrendered otherwise. What feels like loss may actually be God creating room for His purpose.This message challenges listeners to examine their “boat”—the areas of life that represent their identity, livelihood, relationships, priorities, routines, and personal control. Have these spaces become so crowded with fear, pride, success, unforgiveness, comfort, and distractions that there is no room left for Jesus?Pastor Jamal powerfully illustrates how even good things can become obstacles when they occupy space that belongs to God. Careers, achievements, reputations, routines, and even family priorities can unintentionally crowd out the presence and authority of Jesus if we're not careful.

In this final episode of our Daughters series, we're diving into the story of Priscilla—a woman whose life reminds us that God loves to use ordinary people in extraordinary ways. Even though Priscilla doesn't have a single, linear story in Scripture, her impact on the early church is impossible to miss. Alongside her husband Aquila, she modeled faithful partnership, discipleship, hospitality, and unwavering commitment to God's mission. We talk about what it looks like to build the Kingdom alongside other people, why discipleship often happens around dinner tables and in everyday conversations, and how God uses His daughters to make an eternal impact. As we close out this entire series, we reflect on the beautiful truth that we are deeply loved daughters of God, living in light of the resurrection and empowered to share the hope of Jesus wherever He places us.

Shine!LDS AND MEDIUM PODCAST BACKGROUND:I was born into the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, or LDS for short. All my life I felt awkward and out of place, not because of my religion, but because of my spiritual gifts. It was hard to combine the idea of what first seemed like two separate worlds. So my whole life I have tried. I have learnt more about my gifts, and stayed faithful to my faith. But then I heard people left the church because it seems impossible to combine the two. So I am here, to try and mend the rift. To show that it is possible to be both LDS and to have, and use, our spiritual gifts. I am not alone on this journey, but my sister, who just is waking up to her spiritual gifts is by my side and she will also share her story.Jesus Christ, our older brother, was a healer. He asked us to love one another. So let´s follow in his footsteps. Please join me on this journey, let´s make a community of strong spiritual LDS, or whatever religion you belong to, and all work together to make this world a better place.If you like what I do, then you can find me here:https://linktr.ee/ldsandmediumIf you have words of support or stories that you anonymously want me to share please write me at ldsandmedium@gmail.com.

The Acts of the Disciples: Barnabas and the Power of Encouragement | Pastor George SawyerWhat if one of the most powerful spiritual gifts isn't preaching, leading, or teaching, but encouragement?In this message from Calvary, Pastor George Sawyer launches a new series through the Book of Acts by examining the life of Barnabas, one of the most influential yet often overlooked leaders in the early church.

Welcome to the Together We Rise podcast! This is a place where every woman has a seat at the table – and where we affirm, equip, and amplify women's voices globally.In this episode, hosts Cheryl Nembhard and Aubrey Sampson welcome Bette Dickinson, a prophetic artist, author, and speaker known for her unique approach to spiritual life through visual parables. The conversation delves into Betty's journey of discovering her calling, which involves creating art that resonates with spiritual truths. She emphasizes the importance of understanding the health of the vine rather than just focusing on the fruit, a lesson she learned from her experiences with a local vine dresser. This perspective challenges the productivity-obsessed culture that often leads to burnout and neglect of spiritual well-being. The discussion touches on the significance of dormancy in spiritual growth, the necessity of rest, and the importance of surrendering control to God. Bette DickinsonBette Dickinson is a prophetic artist, author, and speaker who creates what she calls “visual parables of the spiritual life,” inviting people into deeper encounters with God through beauty and wonder.She is the author of The Art of Vinemaking and Making Room in Advent, which blend biblical insight with original illustrations and contemplative practices. Through her ministry, Awakening the Soul, Bette creates multi-sensory resources and retreat experiences that help people walk through seasons of life, death, and resurrection while rediscovering the sacred rhythm of abiding in Christ.

Expectations of the Presence of God - Week 6 - Making Room For the Holy Spirit Grace Family Church, Vinton VA / Pastor Tommy FiGart Download

Before the flames. Before the rushing wind. Before the miracle of understanding across languages—there was waiting. In this Pentecost message, we reflect on Acts 2 and the surprising truth that the church began not with certainty or strategy, but with prayerful uncertainty and openness to the Holy Spirit. The disciples did not fully know what would happen next. They simply stayed together, waited, listened, and trusted. As churches today wrestle with change, discernment, and an uncertain future, this sermon explores the difference between planning and true spiritual discernment. Pentecost reminds us that the Spirit often moves not after we have clarity, but while we are still waiting. This message is an invitation to slow down, listen deeply, remain open to surprise, and trust that God is still guiding the church forward—just as the Spirit has done for generations.  

Pentecost was never meant to be just a moment we remember. It's an invitation to live empowered by the Holy Spirit every single day.In this powerful Pentecost Sunday message at Calvary, guest speaker Dr. Wayne Lee challenges believers to intentionally make room for the Holy Spirit in their daily lives. Looking at the ten days between Jesus' ascension and the outpouring in Acts 2, Dr. Lee reminds us that revival often begins with hunger, prayer, expectation, and space made for God to move.This message explores why Pentecost still matters today and how the Holy Spirit empowers believers to stand firm in spiritual battles, walk in truth, pray effectively, experience supernatural joy, and live fruitful lives that impact families, workplaces, and entire communities.Teaching from John 14–16, Dr. Lee explains the role of the Holy Spirit as counselor, teacher, guide, and source of power for every believer. Through personal testimonies and real-life stories of healing, answered prayer, financial breakthrough, and Spirit-led discernment, this message calls the church to move beyond routine Christianity into a Spirit-filled life marked by bold faith and intimacy with God.If you've been spiritually dry, hungry for more of God, or wondering what it truly means to be filled with the Holy Spirit, this message will stir your faith and challenge you to seek Him deeply.Digital Connect Card: www.calvaryassembly.org/new  Giving: https://calvarylive.churchcenter.com/giving  Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/CalvaryLiveAL/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/calvary_live/  Need prayer? https://www.calvaryassembly.org/prayer  Want to take your next step in faith?

17th May 2026 | Roz Zaia | The Promised Holy Spirit: Making Room For More

In this message from 2 Kings 4, we learn how the Shunammite woman positioned herself for God's miracles through faith, obedience, and making room for His presence. God still brings restoration, provision, and breakthrough to those who trust Him.

The day before Mother's Day, we're looking at the mixed emotions many moms feel: love, gratitude… and exhaustion. Dr. Corinne Low, a Wharton professor and author of Having It All, explains what the data shows about the pressures of modern motherhood — from how much time parents spend with kids today compared to decades ago, to the invisible work many moms still carry. Plus, how families can think differently about outsourcing help, and how even overwhelmed moms can make sure joy is still on the to-do list.   Learn more about our guest(s): https://www.theNewsWorthy.com/shownotes Join us again for our 10-minute daily news roundups every Mon-Fri!  Become an INSIDER and get ad-free episodes here: https://www.theNewsWorthy.com/insider Get The NewsWorthy MERCH here: https://www.theNewsWorthy.com/merch Sponsors: Get 20% off your DeleteMe plan when you go to JoinDeleteMe.com/newsworthy and use promo code NEWSWORTHY at checkout!

Why Matthew Threw a Party—and Why We Will Too Pastor Jon Verwey Combined reading Matthew 9:9-13/Mark 2:13-17/Luke 5:27-32 NIVOnce again Jesus went out beside the lake. A large crowd came to him, and he began to teach them. As he walked along, he saw a man named Matthew, son of Alphaeus, sitting at the tax collector's booth. “Follow me,” Jesus told him, and Matthew got up, left everything and followed him.Then Matthew held a great banquet for Jesus at his house, and a large crowd tax collectors and sinners were eating with him and his disciples, for there were many who followed him. But when the Pharisees and the teachers of the law saw him eating with the sinners and tax collectors, they complained to his disciples, “Why does your teachers eat and drink with tax collectors and sinners?”On hearing this, Jesus said to them, “It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. But go and learn what this means: ‘I desire mercy, not sacrifice.' For I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.”  Then Matthew held a great banquet for Jesus at his house, and a large crowd of tax collectors and sinners were eating with him and his disciples, for there were many who followed him.  But when the Pharisees and the teachers of the law saw him eating with the sinners and tax collectors, they complained to his disciples, “Why does your teachers eat and drink with tax collectors and sinners?” “Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with that person, and they with me.” — Revelation 3:20 “It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick… I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.” “…I have come to call not those who think they are righteous, but those who know they are sinners.” — Mark 2:17b NLT “You do not delight in sacrifice… My sacrifice, O God, is a broken spirit; a broken and contrite heart you, God, will not despise.” — Psalm 51:16–17 (NIV)  When Jesus calls us to follow Him and we respond, it should move us to create space for others to encounter Him and hear His call to them. Hospitality means primarily the creation of free space where the stranger can enter and become a friend… Hospitality is not to change people, but to offer them space where change can take place. – Henri Nouwen

In this message from the series Fully Devoted Followers of Jesus Christ, Pastor Rich Shepherd teaches on the spiritual discipline of fasting from Matthew 6:16–18. Fasting is not about earning God's love or proving spiritual strength; it is a way of offering our whole selves to God, creating space for deeper hunger, honest prayer, and greater surrender.As Jesus teaches, fasting is meant to be practiced with sincerity before the Father, not as religious performance. This message explores how fasting reveals what controls us, intensifies our prayers, bends our hearts toward love and justice, and helps us become more available to God. Whether you are new to fasting or returning to the practice, this sermon offers a wise, practical, and grace-filled invitation to let hunger become a place where Jesus meets you.

We've all seen the "Welcome" mats. They sit at our front doors, looking charming and inviting. But let's be honest. Do we really have a heart that"welcomes" the stranger, the lonely, and the hurting? Hospitality these days is more about impressing and entertaining rather than connecting and engaging. The Gospel however shapes a very different posture and practice that is crucial to the health of a flourishing faith. Join us this Sunday as we learn how the Gospel makes room at the table for us which then empowers us to make room at the table for others.

Scripture Reading: Ephesians 3:14-21 We are getting on our knees, both of them and asking him not to let us miss what he's already doing.

Revival cannot take root in an unprepared heart. Pastor Jeff Schreve explains why the Word of God is living and active—and why it demands clean soil to bear fruit. Using vivid illustrations, Pastor Jeff challenges listeners to lay aside moral filth, hidden sin, and lingering compromise so the Word can truly penetrate and transform. If your spiritual growth has stalled, this message shows what needs to be removed for renewal to begin.

God is always taking steps in our direction to work in our lives. But WE have to welcome Him in! This message will look at how giving God time and space in our lives to work is the beginning of the “deeper” work He does. The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.

Mark 6:7-13 7 Calling the Twelve to him, he sent them out two by two and gave them authority over evil spirits. 8 These were his instructions: "Take nothing for the journey except a staff - no bread, no bag, no money in your belts. 9 Wear sandals but not an extra tunic. 10 Whenever you enter a house, stay there until you leave that town. 11 And if any place will not welcome you or listen to you, then shake the dust off your feet when you leave, as a testimony against them." 12 They went out and preached that people should repent. 13 They drove out many demons and anointed many sick people with oil and healed them. NIV 84 LESSON NOTES Hospitality as "Making Room for Jesus": The lesson defines hospitality not just as being nice, but as actively making space in our lives for others as an expression of welcoming Christ himself. Think Subtraction, Not Addition: Spiritual growth doesn't come from cramming more into an already full life - it comes from removing what crowds out Jesus.  Having a Front Row Seat: Jesus instructed the disciples to take only the bare minimum on their mission—no food, bag, money, or extra clothing—to force a total reliance on the work of God. Hospitality or Hostility: Both words share the same root meaning "stranger." In the Kingdom of God, there is no middle ground; we either move toward others with openness (hospitality) or away from them in subtle rejection (hostility). Repentance as a Hospitable Act: True repentance is more than feeling sorry; it is the act of "unlocking the door" to your heart and handing Jesus the key. DISCUSSION QUESTIONS  1. The sermon began with a story of generous hospitality. Do you have a similar story of generous hospitality that you could share with the group? 2. Where in your life do you need to “think subtraction”? What is one specific thing you could remove this week to create more space for Jesus?  3. What does practicing hospitality look like for you today? How can you make room for others in your home, schedule, finances, or daily interactions?  4. Chris Hodges shares "I had invited God to come inside but I had left the door locked." Have you ever felt this way? Do you have a similar story of moving from sorrow to surrender?

Join host Angel Santana live on Have Faith, Let It Begin as a small, viral moment—a BYU student-athlete explaining why her team won't practice on Sundays—sparks a deeper conversation about what it means to protect faith in a noisy world. Between a birthday chorus for Noah and an earnest morning prayer, Angel turns that overheard choice into a challenge: what are you willing to set aside to make room for God? Drawing on Psalm 46:10 and the courage of a generation choosing less of the hustle and more of the holy, this episode invites listeners into stillness, practical choices, and an intimate, lived faith. Have faith. Let it begin.

Today's conversation might change the way you think about your home. What if the spaces you live in are quietly shaping your energy, relationships, and sense of purpose—every single day? Whether you own or rent, this episode will show you how to put the mind–body–environment connection to work for you.”Talor Stewart is a licensed architect with more than 25 years of experience and the author of the #1 bestselling book Conscious Home Design, which has reached the top of the charts in seven countries. An award-winning architect, Talor specializes in single- and multi-family homes as well as intentional communities, working with clients across the United States and select international locations.Talor's Website@conscioushomedesign on InstagramTalor's Facebook pageLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/talorstewart/Over the past two decades, Talor has developed the Conscious Home Design (CHD) philosophy and system—an approach that helps people understand how their homes can actively support wellbeing, relationships, and personal growth. In addition to his design practice, he teaches and certifies other designers and architects in the CHD method, empowering them to bring these life-changing principles to clients everywhere.Talor's work expands the familiar mind-body connection to include the built environment, helping people—whether they own or rent—make simple, meaningful changes that uplift daily life.1) What Really Makes a Good Life?Talor, you often reference long-term research on happiness. What does the research—especially the Harvard Study on Adult Happiness—tell us about what actually helps people thrive as they age, and how did that insight influence your approach to home design?2) Relationships, By DesignOne of the exercises in your workbook is about three different types of relationships that are essential to our wellbeing. Can you break those down for us—and explain how the bones of our homes can either support or undermine those relationships?3) From Maslow to the Floor PlanWhen you're thinking about what a home truly needs to provide, what framework do you use? How does Maslow's hierarchy of needs translate into your concept of the nine essential spaces, and why does that matter whether someone lives in a house or a small apartment?4) The “Sunny Window Effect”You've coined the term sunny window effect. What is it, and why does access to sunlight have such a powerful influence on motivation, mood, and daily behavior?5) Small Shifts, Big ImpactFor listeners who may not be building a new home—or who rent—what are a few small, practical changes they can make right now to shift their environment and, in turn, shift their life?If someone listening today wants to start living more intentionally—but feels overwhelmed—what's one simple step they can take this week to let their home support them more fully?What could we do to start making a “Creative Room: Express Yourself! Making Room for Creativity”?

In this month's Guidance Transmission, the message is clear: you cannot expand while holding onto what you've outgrown. This is a season of releasing, clearing, and creating space — energetically, emotionally, and physically — so that true expansion can take place.Expansion isn't just about gaining more. It's about making room for more. The more you desire requires space, alignment, and a willingness to let go of what no longer matches who you are becoming.Through this channeled transmission, you are being guided to look at where your energy is tied up — old patterns, relationships, habits, or even beliefs — and gently begin the process of release. In this episode, you'll receive guidance on: Why expansion requires intentional release How holding onto the past blocks new opportunities The connection between energy, space, and abundance Letting go without fear or resistance Creating space for growth, clarity, and new beginnings This is not about loss — it's about alignment.What you release now makes room for what's meant to arrive next.If you've been feeling the call to clear, reset, or shift your environment, your mindset, or your relationships, this message is your confirmation: you are being prepared for expansion.

"Making Room For More" Part 3 by Matthew Schlesinger

3/22 | Making Room | Prayer

Prepare the Way: Making Room for Jesus This Palm Sunday Angel Santana shares a testimony that begins with a spark and a mother's memory, then moves to a simple, powerful image: people laying their palms to make room for a king. Through gentle storytelling, he challenges listeners to notice what clutters their hearts—worry, anger, control—and to lay those things down so Jesus can enter. Short, practical, and prayerful, this episode is a call to clear the road within and prepare for something sacred to arrive.   www.havefaithletitbegin.com Check out our YouTube channel and all social media accounts, including Linktree. 

"Making Room For More" Part 2 by Gabriel Willis

Over half of the people who leave the church do so because of relational wounds—discover how Paul and the Corinthians found reconciliation when leaving seemed like the only option.

In this episode of 5 Minutes of Peace, we welcome special guest Jill Amy Sager, who shares an abbreviated chapter from her book Guidance from the Universe: Hopeful Messages for Everyday Challenges. Today's reading centers on the theme of letting go — releasing what no longer serves us so we can move forward with greater ease, freedom, and clarity.Jill Amy's Website@jillamysager on InstagramJill Amy's Facebook pageJill Amy on YouTubeJill begins with a channeled message from a loving universal source, reminding us that holding on tightly can feel like clenching a fist. The tighter we grip, the more pain we experience. Letting go, by contrast, opens doors. It allows us to expand into change, into healing, and into new possibilities.Through personal stories and client experiences, Jill illustrates how attachment can quietly limit our lives — and how surrendering control often creates unexpected breakthroughs. She shares how releasing a painful relationship helped her reclaim her own happiness, and how a client's decision to loosen her grip on a long-held dream ultimately opened the door to a beautiful new beginning.This reading invites us to reflect on where we may be holding on out of fear, habit, or a desire for certainty — and how choosing to let go can restore our sense of peace and inner balance.Jill closes with thoughtful reflection questions, encouraging listeners to explore what they might release, what shifts when they do, and what new opportunities may arise when we soften our grip.You can learn more about her work at www.jillamysager.com.Thank you for listening, and thank yourself for taking five minutes of peace. We are all connected on a path of love, service, and peace for ourselves and others.To learn more about The Peace Room, our Reiki treatments, crystal healings, trainings, and workshops, visit www.thepeaceroom.love.Join us again whenever you need Five Minutes of Peace.

"Making Room For More" Part 1 by Matthew Schlesinger

Join us this week for the eleventh message in our series, "Make Room," with Pastors Nathan and Mary Johnson.

Join us this week for the tenth message in our series, "Make Room," with Pastor Nathan Johnson.

In a recent staff survey at the Greater Washington Community Foundation, 100 percent of employees said they were clear on the organization's mission and vision.Six years ago, that number was 39 percent.That gap is what happens when an organization decides, at the height of a pandemic, to stop thinking in three-year cycles and commit to a ten-year framework instead. Tonia Wellons was thirty days into her role as president and CEO when COVID hit — canceling a 600-person gala, sending staff home, building a crisis response from scratch. And then, as the uncertainty stretched on, she and her board planned further out, not less. Because the plan isn't a prediction. It's a fixed point. And fixed points are most valuable when everything else is moving.What's moving right now is almost everything. In 2020, the crisis had a shape — federal resources flowing outward, community energy concentrating around visible needs. Now the disruption comes from a different direction. What Wellons calls "dispersed energy" has replaced collective momentum: people still care, but without a center of gravity, that care is very hard to organize — and very hard to sustain.Nonprofit leaders are resilient by training. But resilience and endurance are different capacities. Over ten consecutive years of crisis, the sector has been asked to sustain both, and the cumulative cost is real. Boards that aren't actively asking how to lighten that load are going to lose people — not in a single wave, but in quiet rolling exits. Some of those, Wellons is careful to note, are the right response. A thoughtful departure or sabbatical isn't failure. It's a sector populated by human beings.The same honesty shapes how she talks about the foundation-nonprofit relationship. The power dynamic is real, she says. But the way through it is relational, not structural — funders explaining why they stopped doing something, nonprofits naming the blind spots that foundations can't see from where they sit. The alignment the sector keeps reaching for will arrive person to person, or not at all.Last fiscal year, the Greater Washington Community Foundation granted approximately $70 million — a record — while donor giving and national philanthropic support both reached new highs. None of it happened because the environment got easier. It happened because the foundation had a fixed point, and a leader who understood that holding steady and standing still are not the same thing.Links & NotesRead the Insights on Purpose™ ReportThe Greater Washington Community Foundation (00:00) - Welcome to Mission Forward (01:22) - Introducing Tonia Wellons and the Greater Washington Community Foundation (08:12) - Making Room for Planning (13:52) - On Resilience (28:04) - A Spotlight on the Good

Send a textOn a recent cruise in the Caribbean, God began speaking to me about something I didn't realize I was missing — margin.Not more productivity.Not more opportunity.Margin.The space between my load and my limit. The breathing room in my time, finances, and emotional energy.In this episode, I share how Jesus modeled margin for ministry, Mark 1:35, why interruptions are often divine assignments, and how living too full can cause us to miss the very people God places in front of us.Because love requires availability.And availability requires space.I'll also give you practical ways to build intentional margin in this season and reflection questions to help you discern where you may be overfilled.If you're longing to slow down and hear God more clearly, this episode is for you.And if you want guided space to practice listening and creating with Him, explore my Creative Healing Bundle, Refreshing the Soul, or Ashes to Bloom.God still speaks. Sometimes we just need to make room.
