Podcasts about Ordinary People

Mark 1:14-28 In today's episode, we continue our series through the Gospel of Mark. Jesus walks along the Sea of Galilee and calls His first disciples—ordinary fishermen named Peter, Andrew, James, and John. With just two simple words, “Follow Me,” Jesus invites them into something completely new. In this episode, kids will: Walk alongside Jesus by the Sea of Galilee and imagine the sights and sounds of fishermen at work Learn what Jesus meant when He said, “I will make you fishers of men” Discover why Jesus taught with authority See Jesus' power over darkness as He heals a man with an unclean spirit Be encouraged that Jesus seeks us first and lovingly calls ordinary people to follow Him We'll also pause to talk about what it really means to follow Jesus today—at home, at school, and with our friends—and how God loves to use everyday people to share His good news with the world. At the end of the episode, we'll pray together and share special listener shout-outs. Want to Go Deeper as a Family?

What are you doing, and what can you do, to help God's kingdom grow?Have you ever felt the pressure to "make" things happen in your spiritual life or your ministry? In this third installment of our Colossians 1 study, we look at the beautiful economy of spiritual growth. Using the analogy of a leaning tree in a backyard, we explore our role as "co-workers" with God. We dive into the "Word of Truth"—the Gospel—and discover that its power doesn't depend on our perfection or professional training. Just like Epaphras, an ordinary guy who changed his community by simply sharing what he heard, we are all called to be "preachers" in our own mission fields. Key Takeaways:The Role of the Arborist: Why we are called to plant and water, but must leave the growth to God. The Gospel Defined: A clear look at the "Good News"—that Jesus lived, died, and rose again to make us right with God. Ordinary People, Extraordinary Message: How "unschooled" fishermen and ordinary servants like Epaphras became the catalysts for the Gospel flourishing. Your Daily Mission Field: Identifying the "captive audiences" in your workplace, school, and home that are waiting for a message of hope. Scripture: Colossians 1:3-9, 1 Corinthians 3:3-9, Matthew 24:14

Brendan O'Neill, author and writer for Spiked Online, and Suella Braverman, Reform spokeswoman for education, skills and equalities, come on The Julia Hartley-Brewer Show to discuss the war on woke and Reform UK's new ‘shadow cabinet'. Reform UK announced the first four members of their ‘shadow cabinet': the spokespeople for various ministerial roles that would make up Reform's cabinet if they get into power. Zia Yusuf was announced as ‘shadow home secretary',Richard Tice was announced as business, trade and energy spokesman and would be deputy PM, Robert Jenrick was announced as ‘shadow chancellor of the exchequer', And Suella Braverman was announced as education, skills and equalities spokeswoman. She vowed to repeal the Equality Act and stop schools from creating the ‘next generation of eco-zealots'. Brendan O'Neill has just written a book - Vibe Shift - that outlines how ordinary, working class people have fought against the out-of-touch political, media and business classes to rally against woke-ism on climate, Brexit, and transgenderism. Also: Labour's U-turn on council elections, as they announced 30 council elections would go ahead in May. Steve Reed, minister for local government, had previously sought to delay them as authorities were reorganised. But there was public outcry, as democracy would have been denied for over four million people. Reform were polling well in many of the districts that were going to have their vote denied. And how the ECHR could be used to enable family members of Gazan refugees to come to Britain. Julia Hartley-Brewer broadcasts on Talk from Monday to Thursday, 10AM to 1PM. Available on YouTube and streaming platforms, along with DAB+ radio and your smart speaker. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

We've been busy preparing a slate of episodes to pay tribute to some of the giants of New Hollywood who have recently left us. First on the “in memoriam” docket is no less than Robert Redford. Arguably the first true multi-hyphenate, with his directorial debut Ordinary People, Redford established an impressively new take on the “issues film”. Elena and Sam enjoy digging in and trying to untangle its thorny reputation as an Oscar spoiler for Raging Bull and Martin Scorsese. Topics include: the 92nd st Y, the origins of the Brat Pack, and what Mary Tyler Moore is really like.

All throughout both the Old and New Testaments, we see a clear pattern of people in Scripture turning to prayer and fasting in times of uncertainty, brokenness, and need. And in those examples, we find that prayer and fasting are not just religious obligations but natural responses to desperation. And we find that moments of crisis can lead to spiritual renewal when approached with humility and dependence on God. And we find that whether you and I are facing the unknown road ahead or the ruins of life, the invitation is to pray and fast, recognizing that our deepest hunger can only be satisfied by God. SPEAKERS: Jay Kim (Saratoga), video (South Hills) Bible Passage(s): Ezra 8:21,23, Nehemiah 1:3-4

One of the biggest lessons from the clash between ICE and the citizens of Minneapolis is that communities are prepared to stand up for their neighbors.When Alex Pretti, a 37-year-old ICU Nurse, became the second person killed by federal agents in Minneapolis this month, citizens were there to document the killing. Today, we're exploring how Minnesotans trained for this moment and how, despite deep cultural divides between them, they stood together in the face of government aggression.Brittany is joined by Adam Serwer, staff writer at The Atlantic, to unpack his time on the ground with communities in Minneapolis and the role of bystanders in these moments of state violence.

What if the clearest proof of faith isn't a miracle, but endurance when nothing changes? We walk through the final verses of Hebrews chapter 11 and let the text challenge our assumptions—celebrating triumphs at Jericho and the courage of Rahab, then facing the sobering roll call of believers who were mocked, chained, stoned, and even sawn in two. The thread that ties it all together is not perfect people, but a perfect God who keeps his promises and invites us to act on them.We talk candidly about the judges and kings who made the list—Gideon, Barak, Samson, Jephthah, David—and how their moral failures don't cancel their witness. Instead, they spotlight the truth that mustard-seed faith in a great God still counts. That leads us into the sharp turn of the chapter: some shut lions' mouths; others refused release to gain a better resurrection. Both groups are commended. We ask what endurance looks like today, why prosperity teaching collapses under this passage, and how hope in future glory empowers gritty obedience right now.Along the way, we define faith as trust expressed in action, explore why the wilderness wanderings are absent from the record, and consider how God strengthens his people exactly when they need it. The takeaway is simple and weighty: keep going. Fix your eyes on Jesus, choose obedience over optics, and remember that you are part of a larger story where unseen promises are the surest reality.If this conversation helps you stand firm, share it with a friend, subscribe for the next chapter, and leave a review with the one lesson you're putting into practice this week.Support the showThank you for listening!!

Every night, join Father Joseph Matlak as he ends the day with prayer and reflection.

In Acts 4, the early church is offered a deal: you can keep your faith, just keep it quiet.After a public miracle and a public proclamation of the resurrected Jesus, Peter and John are arrested and brought before the most powerful and educated leaders of their day. The pressure is clear. Stop speaking. Stop teaching. Keep the name of Jesus out of the public square.But instead of shrinking back, Peter is filled with the Holy Spirit and speaks with boldness. He names what's true: the man was healed by Jesus Christ of Nazareth, the One they crucified, the One God raised from the dead. And then comes the line that still confronts every generation: “We cannot help speaking about what we have seen and heard.”This message challenges two kinds of Christianity that the enemy loves: silent Christians and private Christians. It exposes how our culture trains us to compartmentalize faith, keeping it personal, polite, and manageable. And it invites us into a different way, a witness that is humble, faithful, and visible.The world isn't waiting for impressive Christians. It's waiting for ordinary people who have been with Jesus.

In this final week of Advent on Christmas Eve, we light the center "Christ Candle" symbolizing the light that has come into the world through Jesus Christ! Jesus has gone to the Father to prepare a home for us. Will we now receive Him?

Sent us text! We would love to hear from you!When it comes to teamwork, the individual and the group depend on each other for power and survival. The group is only as strong as its members, and each member is only strong because of the support and unity of the group.When it comes to staging a quiet comeback, real progress is built in ordinary, unseen moments rather than big, public victories. It contrasts applause with actual growth, arguing that consistency, discipline, and keeping your word when no one is watching create the confidence and results people are really after. A comeback isn't a loud announcement but rather a series of small, stubborn decisions to keep going, especially when you feel behind, overlooked, or written off.Scientists report that teens who grow up with a dog tend to show fewer social and behavioral difficulties than peers without pets, including less withdrawal, aggression, and rule‑breaking. The researchers think this mental health boost may be linked partly to changes in the teens' microbiome that come from living closely with a dog.Most people try to fix their entire life in one big push—new goals, new habits, new routines—only to burn out a week later. The better move is simpler and much more powerful: stabilize your day first. When your day has a reliable backbone, everything else you want to change becomes easier, cleaner, and less dramatic.Meet a wingman who demonstrates quiet compassion, truly seeing someone others ignore, and restoring their dignity without seeking public praise. Everyday, unnoticed acts—sitting with someone, listening, getting them food, medical care, and work—can literally save a life, and that the deepest integrity is helping without needing credit.

Lee and Daniel finish up their Robert Redford retrospective by talking about two of his directorial efforts.

The hosts also briefly mention what they've watched recently.

What if obedience doesn't require all the answers — just a willing heart? In Wise People Still Seek Him, Pastor Ken Senchal unpacks the powerful story of the wise men and reveals a truth that challenges us all: knowing about Jesus means nothing unless we act on what we know. The wise men didn't have Scripture, certainty, or clarity — only a star and a decision to follow it. Their journey teaches us that pursuing Jesus will always cost us comfort, control, and convenience, but obedience always leads us closer to Him. In this message, you'll discover: Why spiritual movement matters more than spiritual knowledge What obedience will cost — and what it will give back How God often calls us to take "another route" to protect and transform us How to recognize the "star" God is placing in front of you right now If you're feeling a nudge, conviction, or pull toward something deeper — this message is for you. Obedience may be costly, but it is never regretted.

HAPPY HOLIDAYS, COMMUNITEA!  Auntea Kerel and Auntea Jerrell hold down the fort while Auntea Dawon battles the world's worst Airbnb Wi-Fi. We're kicking things off with a therapy session on "Holiday Late-ness"—is the 5-minute grace period real, or was your dad a "if you aren't an hour early, you're late" kind of man? We also dive into the dark side of the season: Retail Trauma. We talk about why hearing All I Want For Christmas Is You for the 500th time in a shift is a trigger, and why we all owe Jesus a 20-year-overdue apology for the lies we told to skip Bible study. Plus, the Aunteas go head-to-head in their Holiday Music Bracket 2025, debating which Christmas song truly deserves the crown.

Message from Pastors Nick Person and Andrew Paino on December 21, 2025

Here at Dzyga's Paw Charity Fund, we understand that the work of this scale can't be accomplished alone. The collaboration shared vision, and collective efforts of dedicated Ukrainian and foreign businesses and individuals enable us to make a lasting impact on the lives of Ukrainian Heroes protecting our freedom.----------LINKS:https://x.com/dzygaspawhttps://x.com/dim0kqhttps://dzygaspaw.com/triad-night-droneshttps://kovyla.pub/dimko----------The Steel Porcupine https://www.thesteelporcupine.com/I'm proud to say that this series of ‘Ukrainian advent' interviews is supported by The Steel Porcupine – a unique and powerful film about a country that refuses to lie down, a people who turned themselves into a fortress of needles when Russian tanks rolled in. The Steel Porcupine is an unforgettable cinematic experience that exposes Russia's campaign of extermination in Ukraine, and the Ukrainian people's spirit to resist and prevail. It follows soldiers, volunteers and people who decided that survival meant resistance, not submission.Created by the makers of the acclaimed To the Zero Line, this is another film about humanity, that clearly states there is no such thing as neutrality when war crimes are being committed systematically by Russia, and on a scale in Europe only comparable to World War Two. Set to a haunting soundtrack featuring music by Philip Glass, and blending rare archival footage with original material, it is an impactful work of art and storytelling, as well as being informative.----------WORKS NOMINATED BY: Iryna & Dimko ZhluktenkoBOOKSЖадан - Депеш Мод / Serhiy Zhadan - Depeche ModeРіздвяний співаник / Christmas songbook https://publishing.localhistory.org.ua/product/rizdvyanyj-spivanyk-dopovnene-vydannya/⁠Ivan Franko - Вічний Революціонер (p.53 here) https://tarnawsky.artsci.utoronto.ca/elul/English/Franko/Franko-Weir-Poems-Stories.pdf⁠⁠FILMSАтлантида / Atlantis https://takflix.com/uk/films/atlantydaПамфір / Pamfir https://takflix.com/uk/films/pamfirARTISTS Яків Гніздовський / Jacques Hnizdovsky https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jacques_HnizdovskyМарта Сирко / Marta Syrko https://www.instagram.com/martasyrko/----------SUPPORT THE CHANNEL:https://www.buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtainhttps://www.patreon.com/siliconcurtain----------TRUSTED CHARITIES ON THE GROUND:Save Ukrainehttps://www.saveukraineua.org/Superhumans - Hospital for war traumashttps://superhumans.com/en/UNBROKEN - Treatment.

We bid a fond farewell to the legendary actor, director, producer, humanitarian, activist, and cultivator of emerging talent with a program of films from the period in which Robert Redford came into his fullest self. Starting with the pivitol year of 1969, when he made Downhill Racer and Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, through the early '80s when he made his astonishing directorial debut, Ordinary People, and set the image for his future on screen with The Natural. Recalling many stories and anecdotes we pay tribute to one of the biggest icons of the movies at the end of a year that saw the passing of far too many cinema greats. 

Luke 1:5–45 In this Advent episode, we step right into the true story of Zechariah, Elizabeth, Mary, and the angel Gabriel. Kids will hear how God used two ordinary women—one older and overlooked, the other young and unknown—to bring His rescue plan into the world. Packed with character voices, and immersive storytelling, this episode reminds children that God often chooses people no one else would expect. What Your Kids Will Learn: God uses ordinary, unexpected people to accomplish His plans             Courage isn't the absence of fear—it's trusting God and obeying Him anyway God gives us encouragers (like Elizabeth) We can be encouragers to others through small, everyday kindnesses

333 – God still uses ordinary people to accomplish His purposeChristmas is just a few weeks away, and a lot of people I know are busy getting ready for this special time of year when we celebrate Christ's coming. And I don't just mean making all the preparations for holiday meals, gifts, and seasonal activities. A lot of people take very seriously getting ready spiritually to be more receptive to the spirit of Christmas, the appearing of Jesus here on earth and the significance of that event, not just 2,000 years ago, but today as well.Think of all the different sorts of people who will celebrate Christmas and the many different ways they'll go about it. Most of these folks, I would imagine, are just regular, ordinary people, and by ordinary, I do not mean insignificant, making room in their hearts for Christ's coming.And when you think about it, God has always used, “ordinary” people to accomplish His purposes, especially at Christmas. And that's what we're talking about in today's episode.How will God use you to share the spirit of Christmas?SHOW NOTES: Full transcript and Bible quotes for this episode – thebiblespeakstoyou.com/333Text me your questions or comments.Support the showIf you enjoy the podcast, please rate and leave a review on Apple Podcasts or Spotify__________________James Early, the Jesus Mindset Coach, is a Bible teacher, speaker, and podcaster.
