God wants MORE contentment for you than you think! Learn the secret from Philippians 4:12-13.

When almost everything in the world tends to rob our minds of peace, God wants to bless our minds with peace. Today we learn how to prepare our minds for peace.

Living in reality is living in purity as a believer and according to truth or moral truth. Do you live in reality?

God wants to bless you with his very own peace, a peace that transcends understanding.

God is a God of joy who wants us to participate in his joy!

The New Testament shows us that conflict in the church is nothing new. However, we should not be surprised by conflict, but EQUIPPED for conflict when it arises.

This week Steve helps us see how God's Word encourages us to LIVE courageously and HOPE courageously in times of opposition.

Paul shows us how to we can take hold of the MORE that Christ has for us.

Sermon given by Stephen Pohlmann at Riverside Community Church, 27 April 2025. What if obedience is more than simply God forcing you to do a bunch of things you honestly don't really want to do? What if obedience is life!?

Sermon given by Sizwe Tshabangu at Riverside Community Church, 4 May 2025. Sizwe preaches from Philippians 2:14-18 showing how when we as Christians are always complaining we are not living lives that reflect Christ well.As part of his introduction he played a Skit Guys video.

Today Sizwe preaches from Philippians 3 helping us understand that so much of our religious 'Treasure' is actually Trash when compared to the true Treasure, knowing Christ!

We often see Spiritual maturity as something that is going to cost too much, as something undesirable. In today's message Steve paints a full biblical portrait of maturity that is compelling and worth moving towards in God's grace.

In this episode, I tackle one of the toughest parts of recruiting—handling objections and overcoming rejection. Every recruiting leader faces resistance, whether it's on phone calls, emails, or social media outreach. But the best recruiters know that objections are just smoke screens. I'll share the proven frameworks and mindset shifts you need to push past objections and build stronger relationships with recruits. Episode Breakdown [00:00] Introduction – Why overcoming objections is one of the most critical skills in recruiting. [01:00] Why Rejection Is Inevitable – Every recruiter faces objections daily, but it's how you handle them that determines success. [02:30] The Energy Shift: Fear or Excitement? – How to reframe the nervous energy before a recruiting call into passion and confidence. [04:00] The Top 4 Recruiting Objections – The most common pushbacks you'll hear: "I'm not interested." "I don't have time to talk." "I'm happy where I'm at." "Is this really not a recruiting conversation?" [06:00] The Power of Removing Tension – How to eliminate defensive reactions and keep conversations open. [07:30] The Smoke Screen Effect – Why most objections are just automatic responses and how to move past them. [09:00] The ‘Acknowledge, Don't Address' Rule – How to keep the conversation going when you hear an early objection. [10:30] The ‘Feel, Felt, Found' Framework – A proven structure to address deeper objections: "I understand how you feel." "Others I've spoken to felt the same way." "What I've found is…" [12:00] The Power of Pattern Disruptors – How to stop a recruit from hanging up or shutting down the conversation. [14:00] The Art of the Strategic Pause – Using silence to encourage recruits to stay engaged. [16:30] How to Stay in Control of the Conversation – The difference between a great recruiter and a reactive one. [18:30] The Importance of Knowing Your Script – Why the best recruiters never “wing it” and how preparation removes fear. [20:00] Final Thoughts & Action Steps – How to practice overcoming objections and eliminate cold call reluctance. Key Takeaways Rejection is a Normal Part of Recruiting – Expect objections and prepare for them instead of fearing them. Objections Are Just Smoke Screens – Most people respond with automatic pushbacks—your job is to move past them. Acknowledge, Don't Address – When objections come early, acknowledge them and move back into your script. Use Feel, Felt, Found – This framework helps overcome deeper objections in a natural, non-confrontational way. Pattern Disruptors Work – Interrupting the recruit's expected response pattern can keep conversations open. Know Your Script Cold – The best recruiters don't wing it; they use tested messaging to stay in control. Objections are a natural part of recruiting, but they don't have to be roadblocks. With the right mindset and tools, you can move past them, build relationships, and ultimately win more recruits. The key is preparation—when you know your script and have strategies in place, fear disappears, and confidence takes over. Want to get better at handling objections?

Today, I share a long-awaited update on my journey to a five-handicap before diving deep into a discussion on shiny object syndrome - the relentless pursuit of the next best thing in golf improvement - and how it's sabotaging your ability to make meaningful, lasting progress on the course. In today's episode, you'll learn: Why shiny object syndrome is holding you back from consistent improvement. How the urge to constantly switch swing thoughts, putters, or training methods prevents long-term progress. The four stages of skill development and why most golfers quit too soon. How fear of success can lead to self-sabotage on the course. The role of strategic tunnel vision in accelerating improvement. Why journaling and after-round reflection reports are crucial for tracking progress. How to stay committed to one process long enough to see measurable gains.

The Adult Learning Model Explains Skill Development: Golfers must progress from unconscious incompetence (not knowing what they don't know) to unconscious competence (performing without thinking), which requires repetition and patience. Fear of Success Can Be a Hidden Barrier: Many golfers unconsciously sabotage their performance because they are uncomfortable with the pressure and expectations that come with playing at a higher level. Strategic Tunnel Vision is Key to Mastery: Blocking out distractions, focusing on one process, and eliminating unnecessary sources of golf advice allows skill development to take root. Frustration is a Normal Part of Progress: Skill development is non-linear, and setbacks are expected. Instead of abandoning a strategy, commit to working through challenges. Measure Progress Over Time, Not Round-to-Round: Weekly, monthly, and quarterly reflections provide a better picture of long-term improvement than focusing on one bad round or a temporary plateau. Shiny Object Syndrome is a Symptom of Impatience and Self-Doubt: Overcoming it requires commitment, patience, and a willingness to trust the process long enough for real results to show. Key Quotes: “Golf improvement isn't about finding a magic fix. It's about sticking to a process long enough for the results to compound.” “The moment frustration sets in, most golfers pivot to something new instead of staying the course.” “Shiny object syndrome provides a short-term dopamine hit but leads to long-term frustration.” “When there's a gap between expectation and reality, frustration and doubt fill the space.” “If you keep abandoning your plan, you're never giving it a chance to actually work.” “Your subconscious mind wants safety. If rapid improvement feels unfamiliar, you might unconsciously sabotage yourself.” “Commitment to one process is the true key to unlocking consistent progress.” Time Stamps: 00:00: Introduction and Personal Updates 07:39: Understanding Shiny Object Syndrome 18:12: The Impact of Impatience and Self-Doubt 27:01: Strategies to Overcome Shiny Object Syndrome

Have you ever thought about how much your actions under pressure reveal your character? The Apostle Paul knew that godly leadership requires more than skills and charisma—it demands character that's forged in the everyday trials of life. In today's episode, Stephen Davey walks us through Titus 1:8, where Paul lays out what it takes to lead God's church. This isn't just a checklist for elders; it's a call for every believer to live a life that is a living testimony of God's grace. We'll explore what it means to create a "new normal," one that breaks away from cultural norms and embraces values like hospitality, justice, and a love for what is truly good. Whether you're a church leader or not, today's message challenges us all to think about how we're modeling our faith to those around us. It's about stepping away from what's easy and embracing the high calling of living for Christ—both in our churches and in our everyday lives. Tune in and be inspired to live above the status quo and lead others by example. Listen to the full-length version of this sermon: https://www.wisdomonline.org/teachings/titus-lesson-07

Send us a textIn this episode I embark on an intriguing exploration of surrender's nuanced landscape. Delving into the delicate balance between surrender and collapse, the conversation unravels the intricate dance between resistance, control, and acceptance. Personal anecdotes, including transformative parenting moments and the liberating act of trusting one's body, highlight the profound impact of surrender on the nervous system. Surrender is strategy for the preservation of resources.  Tuning into the body and practicing acceptance and surrender can be a valuable tool to have more resources for problem solving and creativity.  The episode also offers valuable resources and practical steps for listeners to incorporate these insights into their daily lives.In this episode:Exploring the Concept of SurrenderDefinitions and Meanings of SurrenderPersonal Reflections on SurrenderParenting and SurrenderSurrender vs. CollapseAcceptance and TrustRelated Episodes:Episode 40 - Being With What Is with Chandra CantorEpisode 38 - Resistance is a Normal Part of ChangeEpisode 67 - Balancing Effort and Being: Insights on Self LoveEpisode 76 - The Art of Restoration My resources:Deep Rest MeditationNourished For Resilience Workbook Book a free Exploratory CallFind me at www.nourishednervoussystem.comand @nourishednervoussytem on Instagram

Length: 8 Minutes When God speaks to you about who you are in Christ, those realities will become so normal in your mind that when they manifest, it won’t even surprise you. You’ve been seeing that reality for a long time! So much so, by the time your eyes see it on the outside, your […]

Length: 6 Minutes You are no longer like the world. You have a “new normal” through Jesus. Now God wants to normalize those things in your mind.

The New Normal: Part Deux. Today, Mike and Tim swim through quite a bit. How did Mike end up on Matt Walsh's radar? How is the Sermon on the Mount disputable or controversial?? What is up with masculinity these days? Then, an attendee from one of the 'Nonferences' asks a question about why Mike stays in vocational ministry. From there, it's on to finish curses and human agency. How does desire translate? What about rule? Where else do those words come up and what do they mean? Does God intentionally frustrate us?!?!?!

Triggers are not a bad thing, but rather an indication of where you still need to heal in your relationship with food. It's important to reframe your mindset around triggers and see them as opportunities for growth.

Think of this podcast as a reframe on your teenager's risky behaviour. By the end of the episode, you'll be able to put your teen's risk-taking into context, and you'll feel much more relaxed as you go through the rollercoaster with them. Who is Daphne Adler?Daphne Adler has been described as “a mother rooting for all mothers.” And I think we all need one of those in our camps when it comes to the teenage years. Daphne has used her analytical and consulting skills to support parents in a new book Debunking Teenagers. In it, she gives us 200 research-based parenting strategies to help adolescents successfully navigate what she calls the “tempteen” years.The book answers the questions all parents of teens have:· Why are teenagers constantly tempted to behave recklessly, and what can parents do about it?· Why is telling your son or daughter to “just say no” a hopelessly ineffective strategy?· Why are teens constantly taking selfies?· And how can you keep your child safe behind the wheel?Other books I recommend: Hold on to your kids - Gabor Maté The teenager in the greenhouse - Graham RamsdenMore teenage parenting from Helen Wills:Helen wills is a teen mental health podcaster and blogger at Actually Mummy, a resource for midlife parents of teens.Thank you for listening!

My identity has been running the show for me much more in the past few months than I have been used to in the last few years. It's been hard to deal with on occasion and I've been grateful for all of those who have supported me through it. This is life. We are here to support each other and to receive support from each other. Thank you.
