Podcasts about Opposition

Have you considered that the trials you are facing might be building your faith instead of breaking you? In episode nine of "Unshakeable Faith," Duane Sheriff teaches how faith works in conjunction with hope, love, and patience. The challenges of opposition, tribulation, and persecution help develop our character and the endurance necessary to live a victorious Christian life. James 1 reminds us to "count it all joy" when our faith is tested. This process leads to completeness in our spiritual walk. Tribulation is a part of the Christian journey, not something our faith exempts us from. Jesus' words in John 16:33 encourage us to "be of good cheer" in the face of opposition, knowing that our perseverance through trials develops an unshakeable faith that can withstand any storm.https://pastorduane.com/unshakeable-faith/

When you stand for Truth, suffering may come with it. When that suffering meets you, will you stop standing for Truth? Will you let a “slap” silence you? We cannot allow others' opposition to keep us from boldly and clearly speaking Truth.

Jesus sends believers into a hostile world like sheep among wolves, but He provides a strategy for navigating opposition. Christians must learn to hear God's voice through Scripture, prayer, and godly counsel to understand their divine calling. The key is balancing shrewdness and innocence—being wise and strategic while maintaining purity and integrity. Shrewdness without innocence becomes cunning, while innocence without shrewdness becomes naivety. This balance helps believers identify genuine threats while keeping their hearts pure. The ultimate goal isn't just survival but transformation, as the gospel has power to turn wolves into sheep through faithful Christian witness.

SpaceX Launch Approval, Rocket Lab, and Global Space Industry Updates. Bob Zimmerman discusses how Space Force approved SpaceX's request to double launches to 100 per year and open a second launch site at Vandenberg, despite Coastal Commission opposition.

PREVIEW HEADLINE: International Silence on US Venezuela Intentions Analyzed; Opposition Tied to Concerns Over US Hegemony, Not Maduro's Defense GUEST NAME: Mary Anastasia O'Grady, Americas Columnist, Wall Street Journal Editorial Page 50-WORD SUMMARY: Mary Anastasia O'Grady analyzes the silence from capitals regarding the US intention to help elected leaders restore Venezuela. She notes that opposition to regimes like Maduro is weak because his track record is indefensible. However, louder objections are anticipated if there is a "strike on land" or if the US successfully restores its influence in the region, as this opposition is fundamentally about challenging US hegemony. 1876 Bolivar enters Caracas

HEADLINE: South Korea's Descent into Authoritarianism and Persecution of Opposition GUEST NAME: Morse Tan SUMMARY: Morse Tan argues that South Korea is moving toward a "rising communist dictatorship" that oppresses political and religious figures. The indictment of the Unification Church leader and the targeting of the rightful President Yoon exemplify this trend. This persecution serves as an intimidation campaign, demonstrating the regime's disregard for the populace. Tan recommends the US implement active measures, including sanctions relating to a coup d'état and visa sanctions, while also pressing for greater military cooperation. 1957 ZHOU AT PEKING UNIVERSITY

Wie immer ist der erste Teil des Programms aktuellen Ereignissen gewidmet. Wir beginnen mit einer wichtigen Entwicklung im Nahen Osten. Am Montag unterzeichneten internationale Spitzenpolitiker während eines Gipfeltreffens in Ägypten die erste Phase des Waffenstillstandsabkommens für den Gazastreifen, nachdem israelische Geiseln und palästinensische Gefangene freigelassen worden waren. Es gibt definitiv Grund zum Feiern, aber Experten warnen auch vor bevorstehenden Problemen. Anschließend sprechen wir über die Bekanntgabe des Friedensnobelpreises. Die diesjährige Preisträgerin ist María Corina Machado, eine prominente Führerin der venezolanischen Opposition gegen die Regierungen von Hugo Chávez und Nicolás Maduro. Bei der Entgegennahme der Auszeichnung widmete Machado den Preis zum Teil US-Präsident Donald Trump. Wir werden darüber diskutieren, ob diese Widmung angemessen war. In unserem Segment zu Wissenschaft und Technologie sprechen wir über den Global Innovation Index, der gerade von der Weltorganisation für geistiges Eigentum veröffentlicht wurde. Eine der wichtigsten Schlagzeilen des Berichts ist, dass China Deutschland in der Top-Ten-Liste der Innovationsführer abgelöst hat. Und wir beenden den ersten Teil unseres Programms mit einer Diskussion über den Literaturnobelpreis. In diesem Jahr ging der Preis an den ungarischen Schriftsteller László Krasznahorkai.

False Belief: If we were really living right—how Jesus wants us to live—then we wouldn't have enemies.The truth is, we can't deny that we have opposition. But Jesus told us to love our enemies. Loving them does not mean embracing their ideologies or helping them carry out their mission. You love them by being kind, treating them as humans made in the image of God, and speaking truth in a way that never compromises it.

How do you stand firm for your faith in a world that pushes back? In this week's message, Facing Opposition & Making a Stand, we look at the story of John the Baptist to learn how to respond to hostility toward our faith with truth, love, and courage. Discover how God uses opposition not only to strengthen us but also to reach those who oppose us. If you've ever felt pressure to compromise what you believe, this message will equip and encourage you to stand strong in a Christlike way—and help you make sense of why God allows opposition in the first place.

Welcome to The Daily, where we study the Bible verse by verse, chapter by chapter, every day. Today's shout-out goes to Jason Simpson from LaVerne, CA. Thank you for your partnership with us through Project23. This one's for you and your family. Our text today is Judges 7:16–18. And he divided the three hundred men into three companies and put trumpets into the hands of all of them and empty jars, with torches inside the jars. And he said to them, “Look at me, and do likewise. When I come to the outskirts of the camp, do as I do. When I blow the trumpet, I and all who are with me, then blow the trumpets also on every side of all the camp and shout, ‘For the LORD and for Gideon.'”— Judges 7:16-18 Gideon has just returned from overhearing the enemy's dream. His confidence is high, but God's battle plan is totally unconventional — and that's putting it mildly. Instead of swords and shields, the men are armed with trumpets, jars, and torches. Gideon divides them into three companies, giving clear instructions: “Watch me, follow my lead, and shout when I shout.” The strategy is built around Godly obedience and spiritual unity, not an ounce of military logic. (Or so it would appear) On paper, this plan is ridiculous. But that's the point — so that when the victory comes, no one will mistake it for human ingenuity. God's plans will often strip away the weapons you think you need, so he becomes the weapon you depend on. And sometimes his weapons and plan will make no sense — at first. For Gideon's men, this wasn't about skill with a sword — it was about the courage to obey a strange command. God wanted to win the battle in such a way that Israel could never proclaim, “We did this.” The victory would be undeniably God's. A victory of sound and light that we stir their dreams into nightmares that would crush them. In your own life, God may call you into a challenge where your “weapons” look strange or inadequate — starting a ministry with little funding, having a hard conversation with only prayer and humility, taking a leap of faith without a safety net. These moments test whether you trust your own strategy or his voice. Obedience in God's kingdom is always more powerful than the sharpest weapon in human hands. When you follow His lead, even a jar and a trumpet can topple giants. So take a step of obedience in an area where God's plan does not make sense and stop trusting in your strategy! ASK THIS: Where is God asking you to obey even though His plan doesn't make sense? What “weapons” are you clinging to instead of trusting His strategy? How might your obedience showcase His power more than your ability? Who is watching your example of faith right now? DO THIS: Today, take one step of obedience in an area where you've been waiting for everything to “make sense.” Trust that God's plan is better than your own. PRAY THIS: Lord, give me the courage to obey even when Your plan defies my logic. Help me trust Your strategy over my own and follow Your lead into the battle. Amen. PLAY THIS: "Stand In Your Love."

As Kemi Badenoch prepares to address Conservative Party conference for the second time this week, Nuala McGovern reflects on her first year as leader of the party and Leader of the Opposition, with BBC political correspondent Georgia Roberts and Conservative peer Baroness Kate Fall.The People's Tribunal for Women in Afghanistan is convening in Madrid this week to investigate Taliban crimes against women. Since the Taliban's return to power in 2021, Afghan women and girls have endured a significant rollback of their fundamental human rights. What will this tribunal - which has no legal authority - achieve for them? We hear from Shaharzad Akbar, former head of Afghanistan's Independent Human Rights Commission, and Director of Rawadari, one of the organisations behind the Tribunal. Nuala talks to the French philosopher Manon Garcia.  Manon watched the court proceedings of the Pelicot case in France, in which Dominique Pelicot and 46 other men were found guilty of the rape of Dominique's wife Gisèle. In her book Living with Men, she examines French and other societies in light of the case and questions what more needs to be done.The visual artist Joy Gregory's retrospective exhibition Catching Flies with Honey opens at the Whitechapel Gallery today.

The October 8 edition of the AgNet News Hour featured another powerful conversation with Shannon Douglass, president of the California Farm Bureau, who returned to the show to sound the alarm about Proposition 50 and its potential consequences for rural California . Douglass explained that Prop 50 would suspend California's Independent Redistricting Commission, a system created to ensure fair representation by keeping communities intact. “This commission takes in tens of thousands of public comments and really listens to communities of interest,” Douglass said. Under Prop 50, however, politicians would regain control of the process and could redraw districts behind closed doors, leaving rural communities with little to no voice. She highlighted one proposed district as an example of the absurdity: Alturas in Modoc County being lumped in with Sausalito in Marin County. With vastly different economies, incomes, and priorities, such pairings would dilute rural representation and shift political power further toward urban centers. “This isn't about Democrats or Republicans — it's about ensuring agriculture and rural voices continue to have a seat at the table,” Douglass stressed. Douglass also reminded listeners that agriculture already faces enormous challenges: Regulatory costs have increased nearly 1,400% in the past 20 years. California has lost 20% of its family farms in the last decade. Farmers are struggling with water shortages, labor issues, and global trade pressures. Losing rural representation, she argued, would only make those problems worse. Without strong farm voices in Sacramento and Washington, issues like the Farm Bill, forest management, and water storage could slip further down the priority list. Douglass urged voters not only to vote “No” on Prop 50 but also to spread the word. “When that ballot arrives in your mailbox, don't let it sit on the pile. Open it, fill it out, and vote no,” she said. She called on farmers and allies to share the message with neighbors and friends, emphasizing that the outcome will likely be close. Hosts Nick Papagni and Josh McGill underscored Douglass's message, reminding listeners that California agriculture is a $60 billion industry that sustains jobs from the farm to the ports. “Food security is national security,” McGill added, noting that farmers cannot afford to lose more ground in representation.

When faced with opposition, will you obey God or man?Acts 4–5 shows the early church wrestling with this question. Jesus' followers had to choose between obeying men who threatened them or obeying God. Today, many believers still face severe persecution, while most of us encounter subtler tests—how we respond to gossip, integrity, anger, money, culture, and idols.Through the Spirit and the church, Jesus gave the apostles everything they needed to stand firm—and he's done the same for us.---Join us for service online or in-person in Grand Rapids every Sunday at 9AM & 10:45AM.

This week, Chris taught from Nehemiah 4. In the midst of rebuilding, Nehemiah and his people faced relentless pressure—yet their persistence became a model for how we're called to live: steadfast, courageous, and full of the Spirit. Chris challenged us to imagine what our church might look like if each of us carried the same resilient heart for God's Spirit—pushing through fear, doubt, and imposter syndrome to pursue the sacred assignments before us. True human flourishing isn't found in chasing happiness, success, or security, but in remembering the Lord and trusting that He is leading us toward victory.

A sermon for Ordinary Time from Rector Jon Odom, reflecting on Nehemiah 4:1-9.

The Kingdom of God is upside down to the world, and the world is upside down to the Kingdom of God.The only way we can endure persecution, insults, false accusations, and people speaking all kinds of evil against us is by understanding that one day we will stand before the Lord. What we take on the chin—figuratively and sometimes literally—will result in a great reward. That is the ultimate test of faith.When the Kingdom is in you, your mindset shifts from temporary to eternal. This will pass away; this is not going to stand forever. But when you respond in a way that is pleasing to the Lord, you bring honor to Him—and He, not anyone else, will reward you for that honor.

Embark on this year-long voyage through the Bible, and let each day's passage uplift and inspire you. TODAY'S EPISODE: Welcome to the Daily Radio Bible! On this October 3rd episode, join your host Hunter as we journey together through Day 277 of our year-long exploration of scripture.

We'll pause with David in Psalm 138 to reflect on gratitude and God's loving kindness.

Inspired by the voices of prophets like Haggai and Zechariah, who urged the people to rebuild in the name of their God, Hunter joined Zerubbabel and Jeshua in rekindling the effort to reconstruct the Temple. Their work soon attracted attention from the authorities: Tataniah, the governor west of the Euphrates, accompanied by his associates, challenged the project, demanding to know who had authorized the reconstruction. Despite the obstacles and scrutiny, Hunter and his companions persevered, guided by faith and the encouragement of the prophets—striving to restore both their temple and their community spirit. Welcome to the Daily Radio Bible! On this October 3rd episode, join your host Hunter as we journey together through Day 277 of our year-long exploration of scripture. Today, we'll open the pages of Ezra chapters 5 and 6, where we witness the rebuilding of the Temple in Jerusalem and God's faithfulness to His people. We'll pause with David in Psalm 138 to reflect on gratitude and God's loving kindness. Then, we'll dive into Luke 16, where Jesus shares parables about stewardship, faithfulness, and the powerful story of the rich man and Lazarus—a timely reminder about the true riches found in God, not in material wealth. Along the way, Hunter offers reflections on heart posture, spiritual blindness, and the gift of being “named” and known by God. He closes with heartfelt prayers and practical encouragement to care for both body and soul, reminding us all that as we seek God together—no matter where we are in the world—we are deeply loved.

Today we dove deep into the wisdom of Ezra, Psalms, and Luke, exploring how faith, gratitude, and humility can transform both our personal and professional lives. We learned that true success isn't measured by wealth or status, but by the richness of our soul and our generosity toward others. Remember: Invest in what truly matters—your character, your purpose, and your impact on those around you. Let every day be an opportunity to build lasting value, both in business and in life. Absolutely! Here's a LinkedIn post inspired by the October 3rd, 2025 episode of the Daily Radio Bible podcast: On today's episode of the Daily Radio Bible, I was reminded of the power of faith, perspective, and gratitude. Hunter took us through passages from Ezra, Psalms, and Luke—forming a moving meditation on humility, spiritual focus, and the value of small, daily investments in our souls. Here are three key takeaways that resonated with me: Guard against the blindness of privilege: The story of the rich man and Lazarus (Luke 16) serves as a reminder not to let wealth or comfort blind us to our own need for God or the needs of others. Faithfulness in little things matters: Whether it's tending to the tasks at hand, caring for your health, or nurturing your relationships—Hunter encourages us to value the daily “little things” that shape our character. Invest in what truly pays off: As Hunter beautifully put it, spending time listening, reflecting, and drawing near to God is an investment that yields lifelong dividends, unlike many of the distractions that vie for our attention. Let's prioritize what's truly valuable—both in our spiritual journeys and our day-to-day routines. Have you made time lately for what matters most? #DailyRadioBible #Faith #PersonalGrowth #SpiritualWellness #Gratitude Subject: Feasting with the Named Ones – DRB Newsletter for October 3, 2025 Dear DRB Family, Grace and peace to you on this beautiful October day! As always, thank you for joining us on our daily journey through the Bible. Our latest episode, "October 3rd, 2025," is now available, and we're so glad you could share in this time around the warmth of God's love. Today's Readings: Ezra 5-6 Psalm 138 Luke 16 Highlights from This Episode In today's reading, we revisited the incredible story of how faith, perseverance, and God's providence enabled the Israelites to rebuild the temple amidst opposition. As we learned from Ezra, even earthly kings like Cyrus and Darius can become surprising instruments in God's redemption story. Psalm 138 reminded us of God's constant faithfulness, while in Luke 16, Jesus offered the stirring parable of the rich man and Lazarus. A Reflection on Names, Riches, and Faith Host Hunter shared a poignant meditation on the difference between the “named ones” and the nameless in Jesus's story. While the rich man in the parable was left without a name—lost in his riches and blind to his need for God—Lazarus was named, honored, and welcomed at Abraham's side. The reminder for us: our trust belongs not in wealth or reputation, but in the God who raises the humble and knows us by name. Let us nurture hearts that recognize our need for God and rejoice in the gifts—both earthly and eternal—that He freely gives. Daily Encouragement Hunter also encouraged us to move our bodies in gratitude for the life we have, just as we invest time nourishing our souls with Scripture. Whether it's a walk outdoors, a gentle stretch, or simply deep breaths of fresh air, these moments can remind us of God's presence. Let's Pray Together As always, this episode closed with heartfelt prayers of thanksgiving, intercession, and the Lord's Prayer—rooting us in God's goodness and mercy each new day.
