Podcasts about Maturity

Today’s Bible Verse:"But solid food is for the mature, who by constant use have trained themselves to distinguish good from evil." — Hebrews 5:14 Hebrews 5:14 paints a picture of spiritual maturity as something built through practice and discernment. Just as athletes train their bodies, believers are called to train their hearts and minds by applying God’s Word daily. Maturity isn’t instant—it’s the result of steady, faithful practice. “Want to listen without ads?

Preaching: Evan Gear "Founded For Maturity" Hebrews 6:1-8

Ephesians 4:1-6 - Unity and Maturity in the Body of Christ 4 As a prisoner for the Lord, then, I urge you to live a life worthy of the calling you have received. 2 Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love. 3 Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace. 4 There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called to one hope when you were called; 5 one Lord, one faith, one baptism; 6 one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all.   John 17:20-23 - Jesus Prays for All Believers 20 “My prayer is not for them alone. I pray also for those who will believe in me through their message, 21 that all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you. May they also be in us so that the world may believe that you have sent me. 22 I have given them the glory that you gave me, that they may be one as we are one— 23 I in them and you in me—so that they may be brought to complete unity. Then the world will know that you sent me and have loved them even as you have loved me.

You may have read or heard advice given to men saying "Don't try to fix her" or they will mess up their marriage! Are you a brilliant problem solver who is facing a problem that you don't seem to be able to fix in your relationship?

Skills and knowledge that make you feel confident and in control even when chaos is going on around you. It's amazing what you can achieve when you make yourself a priority. Most men don't.   They are too busy taking care of everyone else.  Too busy minding the store and making the money.   They are focused on the "outside game" of winning life. But their "inside game" of confidence and clarity is suffering badly. You can only improve your inside game with other men. We would love to help you become more calm, more strong emotionally and more confident and happy in who you are as a man. Come and join us, either through 1-on-1 coaching with my colleague Dan Dore or me, or in our group coaching program with other amazing men who are travelling the same path as you right now in our Men's Live Coaching Roundtable.

Adulting comes with expectations, pressures, and endless definitions of maturity, but what does the Bible really say? In this sermon, we learn that maturity isn't measured by subjective standards but by God's design, and it touches every area of our lives: our reliability, stability, receptivity, and even the way we think, speak, and understand. This sermon reminds us to never outgrow our need to grow and to live with a God-shaped identity that truly lasts.MADE A DECISION TO FOLLOW JESUS?We're excited about your decision and would love to serve you.Kindly let us know at http://bit.ly/NOWHOMEABOUT SYCAMORE CHURCHSycamore Church exists to help you see Jesus beyond the noise of the world, find purpose and meaning in life, and live life to the full.

When roles shift at home and at work, even strong couples can feel the strain. In this episode, returning guests Shay and Phil Bynes (Kingdom Driven Entrepreneur) pull back the curtain on their four-year journey of transitioning Shay out of the CEO seat and Phil in—while raising three kids and continuing to lead a global movement. They share what changed, what didn't, and how they protected connection through it all. You'll hear how they navigated identity, authority, and expectations as spouses and co-leaders—without letting business tension become marital tension. From hearing God's nudge to act, to wrestling with control, to defining new decision rights, Phil and Shay explain the practical guardrails (and plenty of grace) that made the handoff work. We also get tactical about staying close during busy seasons: weekly “marriage board meetings,” spontaneous micro-check-ins, and simple, intentional fun that doesn't require a plane ticket. If you're a married entrepreneur aiming to grow your business without shrinking your marriage, this conversation is a masterclass in change done together. 12 Powerful Questions to Connect You with God's Heart & Mind in Business: https://kingdomdrivenentrepreneur.com/usccc Free Chapter of Shae's Book, Grace Under Pressure: A Story About Leadership and the Hidden Cost of Ambition https://shaebynes.com/gupbook Grace over Grind https://kingdomdrivenentrepreneur.com/our-books/ Key Takeaways: Transitions need clarity: Decide who owns which decisions now (vision, people, money, operations) and write it down. Step back—then calibrate: Founders often swing too far away after a handoff; expect to iterate until the advisor/CEO rhythm fits. Protect a weekly marriage meeting: Same time, same day, non-negotiable. Use ground rules so issues get resolved before they fester. Honor design differences: Lead styles will differ by God's design; resist the urge to “correct” your spouse into your style. Let things “sputter” (strategically): Maturity sometimes requires leaders to stop rescuing, so teams learn to think and own outcomes. Friendship fuels connection: Micro-moments (10-minute check-ins, pausing a show to talk) keep intimacy alive during busy stretches. Serve first leadership: Out-serving one another at home creates safety and teamwork that shows up in the business. Plan fun on purpose: Comedy nights, simple dates, and kid-care logistics belong on the calendar like any key meeting. Phil Bynes is CEO of Kingdom Driven Entrepreneur, a global movement equipping entrepreneurs to partner with God in business and create greater Kingdom impact in the marketplace. He is also the owner and lead therapist at Crazy Good Massage, where he has served clients with excellence for over 20 years.

We use tape measures to make sure what we build is straight, square, and solid. But what's the measuring tape for our spiritual lives? Jesus makes it clear: the ultimate measure of maturity isn't knowledge, busyness, or even ministry activity — it's love. In this message, we explore how the New Testament word teleios (maturity, completeness) points us to love as the end goal of spiritual growth. From the life of Jesus to the picture of aspen groves, we'll discover that Christian maturity is not rugged individualism, but profound, interconnected love for people.

According to the New York Post, Charlie Kirk's memorial service last Sunday has racked up 20 million views and counting, not to mention the popularity of short videos with lines like “I forgive him” from Erika Kirk, “We are Charlie” from other speakers, and the many posts of “Here I am, send me” from Isaiah 6:8. As Christ-followers, the story of Charlie's death and memorial might be causing us to stop and ask, “Do I measure up to this?” Come find your answer this Sunday, as we continue our message series, Imperfect Together, and find out how to measure our maturity. You might find you're using the wrong measuring stick.

Has your wife asked for space? Are you wondering when and how it would be OK to initiate sex or some kind of intimacy again with her?

Too often we are not held responsible for the actions we do, thinking that just because we have a constitutional right means we can exercise those rights without consequences for our actions taken. While our country was built on freedom to bear arms, we as gun owners must uphold safety by becoming properly trained and aware of the very real danger that guns can pose when handled inappropriately. While free speech was something our forefathers fought for us, we all know we cannot use our voices to make idle threats as a joke and not be punished for acting so foolishly. Our leaders have to be stronger and break through the noise of the masses, as they are the examples for which we , the masses, are going to follow. We need to choose these people with great attention to their actions and reactions, rather than just their words and promises of the future. We have to present our narrative with logic and facts, not disputing with emotionally charged opinions in order to "always be right". Our voice needs to carry with loudness when it is educated and engaging in a healthy way, not just to rile up a crowd with controversy. We should share our opinions in a manner to attract like people we can enjoy sharing with rather than always seeking out division amongst common people. A mindset shift is all it takes to turn a bad situation into a fruitful or interesting conversation. We still have to be the responsible adult in any situation and act with integrity and honesty, especially when it involves our children too young and undeveloped to make their own choices safely and accordingly in society. We have to mentor them and show them how they should respond, showcasing we are capable of accountability and they should uphold that sense of good character as well. Nowadays though, too many people rely on blaming others in order to avoid accountability for their own humiliating actions. They panic and react in a way that makes the situation even more complicated because they do not continue educating and building experience in a consistent manner often enough to rely on performing by default of the body. Perception is different from each person's point of view based on their own experiences and abilities to process what is going on in their environment. Maturity is granted to us in levels as we continue to grow from our experiences and learn lessons from previous mistakes. Use your tools and skills acquired in life and keep staying informed so that you can teach others what matters most with true facts and rational decisions. Leadership should have a hierarchy based on age and experience in the household, yet man and wife should not be a means of division via power. There should be a healthy balance with a natural ebb and flow between partners that keeps them both active and engaging, yet accountable to contribute and teach the children their roles and responsibilities to the family as individuals as well as a parenting pair. Always remember: if you can't stand for something, you'll kneel for anything.

Guest post by Cathy Mauzaize, President, EMEA, ServiceNow The momentum around AI is stronger than ever. Across EMEA, organisations are moving quickly by running pilots, rolling out use cases, and exploring how AI can help them work smarter. The energy is there, and the ambition is clear. However, ServiceNow's latest research, the ServiceNow Enterprise AI Maturity Index 2025, shows something surprising: while adoption is accelerating, AI maturity is actually falling. It's not that leaders are holding back or underinvesting. What's missing is a deliberate focus on people. Success with AI demands more than the right technology. It requires the people who help to design it, train it, scale it and, of course, use it. It's the people that turn innovation into impact. This is especially true now, as agentic AI becomes part of everyday work. These intelligent agents can transform how we operate by handling tasks, solving problems, and even making decisions on our behalf. But they don't work in isolation. If we want to see real results from AI, we have to stop seeing it in isolation. If AI is the engine of business transformation, then it is people - their vision, skills, and leadership - who drive it toward success. Create a culture where experimentation is the norm Every leader talks about innovation; however, experimentation only really works if people feel safe and supported to try new things. That means creating an environment where curiosity is encouraged and failure isn't feared. In EMEA, we're seeing progress. More leaders are giving teams the space to explore new ideas and take ownership of how AI is applied in their day-to-day work. In fact, 46% of organisations in EMEA say they're encouraging a culture of experimentation to engage employees in assessing the utilisation of AI solutions. One telecom leader recently told me they invited frontline teams to experiment with GenAI at their contact centre. By engaging and empowering teams to be part of the solution, they've seen higher resolution rates and increased customer satisfaction. What's more, they have a pipeline of new AI use cases identified by the teams on the ground, closest to the processes and customers. This is because when people are part of the process, they're more likely to trust the outcome. They understand the technology because they helped shape it. That kind of engagement leads to better adoption, better solutions, and ultimately, better business outcomes. Nevertheless, experimentation still needs guardrails. It needs purpose. Otherwise, it risks becoming chaotic or disconnected. That's where leadership needs to play an active role. It is important that leaders set clear priorities, align teams, and create the conditions for experimentation to feel both possible and valued. Skills are the hidden barrier to AI maturity Agentic AI is powerful - but it's not magical. It doesn't just appear and work because you want it to. Successful adoption depends on people having the right skills to design, use, and govern AI effectively. Yet, across EMEA, only 28% of organisations feel they have the right mix of talent to deliver their AI strategy. That's a major barrier to innovation and one that too often gets overlooked. The reality is most businesses don't need everyone to be a data scientist. However, they do need people across the organisation to understand what AI can do, how to use it responsibly, and how to apply it to move the business forward. Scale starts with capability That means investing in the basics - from AI literacy to upskilling programmes. It also means building cross-functional teams that combine technical talent with domain expertise, creativity, and collaboration - because that's what it takes to make AI work in the real world. Real transformation is people transformation If there is one simple truth leaders should take away from this year's AI Maturity Index, it's this: AI will not transform your business unless your people are ready.

I wanted this conversation to do two things at once. First, ground the hype in real practice. Second, show how a small country can punch well above its weight by connecting industry, academia, and government with purpose. With Chantelle Kiernan from IDA Ireland and Stephen Flannagan from Eli Lilly and Company, we explored what digital transformation really looks like on the factory floor in Ireland, why talent is the engine behind it, and how cross-sector collaboration is turning ideas into measurable outcomes. Ireland's manufacturing base employs hundreds of thousands and fuels exports, yet what stands out is the shared mindset. The shift toward Industry 5.0 puts people at the center while using digital, disruptive, and sustainable technologies to rethink production. Eli Lilly's experience shows how a digital-first culture changes everything. New sites start paperless by default. Established plants raise their game through micro-learning, data-driven problem solving, and champions who model the behavior. The message is simple. Technology only sticks when people see clear value and have the skills to act on it. From pilots to site-wide change Here's the thing. The strongest wins come from a strategic, site-wide approach rather than isolated pilots. Maturity assessments across pharma sites in Ireland revealed common patterns, shared bottlenecks, and repeatable opportunities. That insight helps teams justify investment, sharpen ROI arguments, and accelerate adoption without slowing production. Reinvestment in legacy facilities becomes a long-term advantage when you connect equipment, data, and people with a clear plan. This is where Ireland's ecosystem shows its class. Purpose-built centers like Digital Manufacturing Ireland, NIBRT, IMR, and I-FORM give teams a place to test before they invest. Indigenous tech SMEs sit at the same table as global pharma leaders and large tech firms, which means collaboration moves faster. When 50 percent or more of new R&D projects cite academic partnerships, you know something healthy is happening. Skills, STEM, and the mindset shift Upskilling came through as the decisive enabler. IDA Ireland supports companies with skills needs analysis and access to training. Universities co-create relevant courses. Micro-credentials and immersive apprenticeships build confidence on the shop floor. Stephen's point about micro-learning hit home. People learn best when they can apply knowledge to a problem they care about, right now. That keeps momentum high and spreads digital competence across teams without waiting on giant projects. Barriers still exist. Defining ROI, coping with regulatory complexity, and balancing change with daily production are real challenges. Culture is the swing factor. Leaders who set the tone, create space for experiments, and reward progress see faster results. GenAI is already shifting attitudes by improving personal productivity, which naturally opens minds to operational use cases like predictive maintenance, knowledge capture, and quality improvements. What comes next If the last decade was about connecting machines, the next decade will be about connecting knowledge. Expect smarter, greener, and more multidisciplinary manufacturing. AI will sit alongside advanced materials and sustainable design. The most resilient sites will combine agile infrastructure with strong learning cultures, so they can absorb change rather than resist it. Ireland's model of collaboration gives a useful signal. When industry, government, and academia align around shared outcomes, the runway gets longer and the takeoff gets smoother. This episode is about the practical choices that make transformation real. Strategic assessments. Shared R&D spaces. Cohorts of digital champions. And a relentless commitment to skills. It is a story of steady progress that scales, and a reminder that the future belongs to teams who can learn faster together. ********* Visit the Sponsor of Tech Talks Network: Land your first job  in tech in 6 months as a Software QA Engineering Bootcamp with Careerist https://crst.co/OGCLA

Send us a textEver feel stuck in your spiritual journey? This raw, unfiltered Q&A episode tackles the uncomfortable truth about spiritual plateaus and what genuine growth actually requires.Justin begins by addressing why many Christians lose their fire - often because they've trained their brains for distraction through excessive media consumption while neglecting meaningful action. "A bored Christian is usually a disobedient Christian," he explains, challenging listeners to examine whether they're pouring into others or merely collecting knowledge.The conversation shifts to authentic calling versus mere opportunity-chasing. Through powerful biblical examples like Jeremiah and Moses, Justin illuminates how true divine calling typically brings frustration rather than excitement. "Calling is something that almost irritates you, less than is something you're excited and pumped about," he reveals, sharing his own reluctant journey to church planting despite initial resistance.Perhaps most compelling is the discussion of spiritual maturity, which Justin likens to tree rings - slow, consistent growth marked by seasons of wrestling with God. "Maturity is having wounds and a limp and scars from doing the things that God has told you to do," he explains, contrasting this with religious busyness.For those wondering how to share faith without alienating friends, build sustainable spiritual habits, or find hope when facing life's end, Justin offers practical wisdom grounded in biblical truth. His vulnerability about his own struggles creates a safe space for listeners to examine their spiritual journey honestly.Whether you're feeling spiritually stagnant, questioning your direction, or simply hungry for authentic faith, this episode provides the perspective shift needed to move forward with renewed purpose.

In today's Leadership Lessons Pastor Josh Kelsey shows us that prayer is not performance but relationship. Maturity in Christ shows when leaders allow prayer to shape them before they shape others. In Matthew 6:9–13 Jesus gives us a pattern for prayer. We begin with “Our Father,” remembering who we belong to and where our identity is found. Prayer reorders our loves, exalts God's name, and shifts our focus from building our own empires to seeking His kingdom. As leaders, we must ask: Do we live dependent on God daily? Do we model humility and repentance so others can see it? True prayer transforms character, breaks cycles of shame, and produces leaders who carry God's kingdom forward.

In the chaos and idolatry of Corinth, Paul helps the church move from immaturity to maturity, and from maturity to ministry. We can operate as ambassadors with purpose, demonstrating generosity and reconciliation to a culture desperate for truth.
