Podcasts about Peace

In the Gospel story, when Jesus Christ calms the storm on the Sea of Galilee, He doesn't create peace in that moment. He reveals it.The storm is loud. Chaotic. Violent. But when Jesus stands and says, “Peace, be still,” He's not negotiating with the weather—He's addressing something that already recognizes His authority.Which suggests this:Peace was there the whole time. It was just buried under the noise.The wind didn't need to be convinced. The waves didn't need time to calm down. They stopped immediately—because peace isn't fragile when truth speaks. Chaos doesn't argue with authority.

This Message is brought to you by the Senior Pastor of the global, multicampus ministry, Petra Christian Centre, Pastor Ayo Ajani.

The church is not ready for the rapid changes brought on by artificial intelligence, but that's where we come in. In this episode, Dr. Jeffery D. Skinner dives into how AI is reshaping trust, learning, and authority, flipping the script on how people seek guidance—often turning to devices before they even think of asking pastors. It's not about becoming tech whizzes; it's about fostering discernment and forming genuine relationships in this brave new world. We've got to confront the reality that authority is shifting away from titles and degrees, leaning instead on trust and proximity. So, are we gearing up to guide our communities through this evolving landscape, or are we just clinging to the past? Let's figure it out together.In the transcript I say “the head of Anthropic resigned.” That was a misspeak on my part. Safety researchers are leaving, not the CEO stepping. “senior safety researchers and staff have resigned from major AI labs, citing ethical concerns.”Artificial intelligence is already reshaping how people learn, trust, and seek guidance. The gospel has not changed. The mission has not changed. But the environment where we disciple people has shifted fast.In this episode Dr. Jeffery D. Skinner lays out why the church must prepare without panic, form discernment, rebuild trust through presence, and lead with steady, embodied authority in an age of intelligent machines.Takeaways:The church is facing a rapid shift, and we need to prepare without freaking out about it.People are asking machines for answers before they look to their pastors, which is a wild shift in trust dynamics.Authority in the church is moving from just a title to being about real relationships and proximity to people.In this crazy digital age, discernment will be the name of the game, not just having access to information.Links referenced in this episode:amazon.comCompanies mentioned in this episode:Missional Church PlantingLeadership Development in Dynamic Church Planning InternationalMatt SchumerAnthropicElon MuskMentioned in this episode:Peace in that Finds You in the Middle of ChaosCozyearth.com.

On this episode of The Alcohol Minimalist Podcast, Molly reflects on what would have been her mother's 95th birthday and the years lost not only at the end of her life, but throughout decades spent in active addiction. With compassion and clarity, she explores the difference between alcohol dependence and alcohol reliance, and why that distinction matters more than most people realize.Drawing from her recent conversation with Dr. Charles Knowles , Molly breaks down the difference between the small percentage of adults who are physically dependent on alcohol and the much larger group who fall into gray area drinking or alcohol reliance. She explains how neuroadaptation occurs over time, how reinforced thought patterns shape behavior, and why learned helplessness can quietly keep people stuck.This episode is not about blame. It is about progression, influence, and the hopeful reality that most people questioning their drinking are not powerless. Through science, reflection, and practical questions, Molly invites listeners to examine the beliefs that may be giving alcohol more authority than it actually has.In This Episode:Reflecting on the years lost to active addictionThe difference between alcohol dependence and alcohol relianceThe 2 to 3 percent statistic on physical dependenceThe 20 percent gray area drinking categoryHow neuroadaptation and tolerance develop over timeDopamine as a learning signal, not just a pleasure chemicalCue conditioning and incentive salienceThe psychology of learned helplessnessWhy belief shapes behavior and behavior reinforces beliefAlcohol's health risks, including cancer and sleep disruptionWhy low risk drinking guidelines reduce harm, not riskThe importance of examining your belief system around alcoholKey Takeaways:Physical dependence develops gradually through repeated reinforcement and neuroadaptation.Most people questioning their drinking are not physically dependent but are operating in reinforced patterns.Alcohol influences the brain but does not automatically remove agency unless long term dependence has shifted the baseline.Beliefs such as “Once I start, I can't stop” can strengthen neural expectation and reduce effort.Small cognitive shifts precede behavioral shifts, and repeated behavior reshapes the brain.Questions to Reflect On This Week:What belief about alcohol might you be carrying that deserves closer examination?Is there a sentence you repeat internally such as “I need it to relax” or “It helps me connect” that feels solid and unquestioned?What might happen if you approached that belief with curiosity rather than judgment?What is one small step you can take this week to observe rather than act automatically?Resources Mentioned:Molly's interview with Dr. Charles Knowles Alcohol Truths: How Much Is Too Much?If you are questioning your relationship with alcohol, remember that awareness is the first step. Change does not require a dramatic declaration. It begins with curiosity, clarity, and small shifts practiced steadily over time.Low risk drinking guidelines from the NIAAA:Healthy men under 65:No more than 4 drinks in one day and no more than 14 drinks per week.Healthy women (all ages) and healthy men 65 and older:No more than 3 drinks in one day and no more than 7 drinks per week.One drink is defined as 12 ounces of beer, 5 ounces of wine, or 1.5 ounces of 80-proof liquor. So remember that a mixed drink or full glass of wine are probably more than one drink.Abstinence from alcoholAbstinence from alcohol is the best choice for people who take medication(s) that interact with alcohol, have health conditions that could be exacerbated by alcohol (e.g. liver disease), are pregnant or may become pregnant or have had a problem with alcohol or another substance in the past.Benefits of “low-risk” drinkingFollowing these guidelines reduces the risk of health problems such as cancer, liver disease, reduced immunity, ulcers, sleep problems, complications of existing conditions, and more. It also reduces the risk of depression, social problems, and difficulties at school or work. ★ Support this podcast ★

The longest chapter in the Torah reads like a divine receipt, recording the identical offerings of twelve tribal leaders over twelve days. To our modern ears, this repetition can sound like a broken record, a tedious list of ancient gifts. But in God's economy, this repetition is a profound declaration of the Gospel. It proclaims that each tribe, each leader, each individual gift is seen, known, and precious in His sight. This chapter demonstrates that a people purified by God's blessing respond with their best, and in turn, they receive the greatest gift of all: God's voice speaking peace from the mercy seat.  The Rev. David Vandercook, pastor at Trinity Lutheran Church in North Little Rock, AR and Shepherd of Peace Lutheran Church in Maumelle, AR, joins the Rev. Dr. Phil Booe to study Numbers 7.  To learn more about Trinity and Shepherd of Peace, visit trinitynlr.com and shepherdofpeace.net The Book of Numbers is far more than an ancient census report. It is the story of a people learning to trust God in the wilderness, and failing, and finding grace anyway.  In this series, host Pastor Phil Booe and guest pastors walk through the Old Testament book of Numbers chapter by chapter. We follow Israel from Sinai toward the Promised Land, through grumbling and rebellion, fiery serpents and a talking donkey, faithless spies and faithful priests. The journey is hard, the failures are many, and God remains faithful to a faithless people.  These ancient accounts point us to Christ. The bronze serpent lifted on a pole points to the cross. The rock struck for water points to the one struck for us. The high priest whose death frees the manslayer points to the Great High Priest whose death sets us free forever. Join us as we discover that the wilderness has more to teach us than we ever expected.

Do you ever feel responsible for fixing things the moment they appear?Maybe it’s not big anxiety. It’s just a subtle, steady pressure to reply, fix, improve, or mentally process everything the moment it appears. That quiet activation can keep your nervous system on alert all day long.In today’s episode, Bonnie shares a personal story about how even “rest” can quietly turn into another performance — and how learning to say “Not now” helped her lower background stress and retrain the urgency reflex.This episode explores micro-activation stress — the hidden pressure to treat every thought like a task — and why small, non-productive moments may be exactly what your nervous system needs to reset. Key Takeaways Why the mind stays activated even when nothing is wrongHow God values non-productive time unseen by othersWhat happens in the brain when you delay urgency instead of responding immediatelyOne simple soul care practice that lowers background tension and increases presenceBreath PrayerInhale: Go into your room and pray to your Father who is in secret.

You grew up learning how to read a room before you learned how to read a book. You learned to stay quiet. To manage emotions that weren't yours. To keep the peace so you'd stay safe. And now you're wondering why your relationships feel heavy, why boundaries feel terrifying, and why you tolerate more than you ever should. Imagine understanding why you feel responsible for everyone else's emotions. Imagine finally putting down the invisible backpack you've been carrying your whole life. Imagine choosing yourself without drowning in guilt. In this episode, we're diving deep into enmeshment, codependency, and emotionally immature family systems — and how these childhood dynamics follow us straight into adulthood, romantic relationships, and even motherhood. This conversation will crack things open if you've ever felt like: The truth teller in your family The "good girl" who kept everything together The one who gets blamed for rocking the boat In this episode, you'll learn how to: ✔️ Identify enmeshment vs. codependency — and how each one shows up in your body and behavior ✔️ Understand hero child vs. scapegoat child roles and how they shape adult relationships ✔️ Stop managing emotions that were never yours to carry ✔️ Recognize why chronic defensiveness erodes connection over time ✔️ Set boundaries without shrinking yourself or over-explaining You're not broken. You adapted to survive. And now you get to choose something healthier.   LINKS: Repair Guide for the Woman Taught to Keep the Peace https://breathworkcollective.myflodesk.com/repair-guide-for-women Free Empower YOU Breathwork: https://breathworkcollective.myflodesk.com/empower-breathwork   Boundary Babe Academy: https://the-breathwork-collective.circle.so/checkout/boundary-mastery  Follow My Journey: https://www.instagram.com/its.amandaclark/ The Supported Woman Group Transformation Experience: http://amandaclark.biz/supported-woman-group-coaching

What happens when you get everything you thought you wanted and still feel empty?Tychon Carter won Big Brother Canada, gained fame and followers overnight, and felt completely lost. The success arrived before he was ready for it. The external validation didn't fill the internal void.In this conversation, we dig into the gap between looking successful and actually feeling whole. Tychon walks through his journey from urban planner to reality TV winner to performance coach, and the hard lessons about self-worth that came with it.We explore the masks we wear in professional spaces, the cost of performative confidence we don't feel, and why so many high-achievers feel stuck despite checking all the boxes. Tychon's "Start With You" framework breaks down three critical areas most of us keep out of balance: Power (accessing your authentic self) Play (creating and enjoying life beyond work) and Peace (finding internal harmony)The conversation gets real about mental health, the isolation trap of self-reliance, and why giving to community might be more rewarding than the endless pursuit of more.Mentioned Johann Hari, Lost Connections On prescribing community work to treat depression More on Adam Grant and Jane Dutton's study of contribution journalsMore about Tycoon Carterhttps://www.tychoncarter.com/

https://wels2.blob.core.windows.net/daily-devotions/20260216dev.mp3 Listen to Devotion There he was transfigured before them. His face shone like the sun, and his clothes became as white as the light. Matthew 17:2 Who Is Jesus? People have lots of opinions about Jesus. Some say he was just a good teacher. Some say he was just a prophet. Some say he was just a symbol of love and justice. Some say he was just a legend. But what Jesus reveals and tells us about himself doesn’t leave any room for “just.” The apostle Matthew tells us that Jesus was “transfigured.” That means he changed right in front of his disciples. For a moment, his glory showed through. He shone like the sun. His clothes became dazzling white. And God the Father spoke from a cloud: “This is my Son.” That means Jesus isn’t simply an inspirational leader. He is God’s Son. And that changes everything. Maybe you need that reminder today. It’s easy for doubts to creep in. Life gets messy. Suffering makes you wonder if God is really there. And sometimes Jesus can feel far away. That’s why this moment matters. God didn’t just want the disciples to hope Jesus was the Savior. He wanted to show them so they would know with certainty. Since Jesus is God’s Son, his words carry authority. His promises carry weight. His death is not a tragedy; it’s a rescue. His resurrection isn’t a myth; it's the doorway to eternal life. And that is why Jesus matters for you right now. Because Jesus is God’s Son, your life is not an accident. Your sins are not too big for forgiveness. Your pain is not ignored. And your future is not hopeless. You don’t have to wonder if God loves you. God sent his Son for you. The Transfiguration shines a spotlight on who Jesus really is. And when you see him clearly, you can finally see your life clearly too. Prayer: Lord Jesus, help me see you for who you truly are, God’s Son and my Savior. Give me confidence in your promises today.

Jesus made it back to Jerusalem!. After years of traveling and teaching, Jesus finally enters the familiar streets for the last week of his life on earth. It's a monumental moment: crowds ran out to meet him and to accompany him back into the city. It's a provocative moment, too, for the crowds are waving palm branches, rejoicing, shouting and saying “Blessed is the King who comes in the name of the Lord. Peace in heaven and glory in the highest!” The words are from Psalm 118 and would announce the Messiah! Do the crowds know that? The Pharisees did, and tried to stop it but they couldn't. So did the Sadducees. But they couldn't either. Come find out why.

God uses ordinary people in extraordinary ways. Our struggle is that we drift from God. We fall in love with the things of this world, and we forget the goodness, grace and blessings of our God. These are the times that we must repent - cry to God - and He will save us. Our strength is not in ourselves, but in the Spirit of the Lord. He alone is the One who can bring peace in our hearts and in our surroundings. Our world desperately needs godly courageous leaders today - will you be the one? Will you lead others to Jesus, the Prince of Peace? This is your time.

What we give to God is never lost — it's invested in eternity. The treasures of this world fade, but the impact of a generous, surrendered life endures forever. As we close our Return to Sender series, we'll celebrate that every time we give, serve, or love in Jesus' name, we're returning His gifts to Him — and He uses them to change lives for eternity.Support the show~ Changing lives with Jesus!

Beth Mims is a devoted wife, mother, grandmother (“nana”), and lifelong writer whose heart centers on seeing God's grace in everyday life. A retired educator — with decades as a teacher, administrator, and educational consultant — Beth has always filled her journals with reflections on faith, worship, and the beauty she sees in the ordinary moments of life. Her forthcoming book, Wrapped in Grace: Finding Power in Praise and Peace in His Presence (releasing February 2026), invites readers on a transformative spiritual journey. Through lyrical prose, devotional reflections, and heartfelt insight, Beth gently guides believers to experience God's unwavering love, embrace praise as a source of strength, and discover deep, sustaining peace amid life's challenges. Beth's writing comes from lived reality — from gardening and fishing with her husband Eddy, to raising daughters and delighting in grandchildren, she sees God's grace woven into both life's joys and trials. As an active member of WordWeaver's International and the Page 23 critique group, Beth also brings community and craft to her work. Wrapped in Grace marks her first full book, soon to be followed by her first children's book, How Christmas Came, in late 2026. #WrappedInGrace #BethMims #GraceSpeaks #FaithJourney #ChristianDevotion #PraiseAndPeace #SpiritualReflection #GodsGrace #PodcastWithPurpose #DevotionalPodcast #NewBookRelease #ChristianAuthor #InspirationalAudio

https://wels2.blob.core.windows.net/daily-devotions/20260215dev.mp3 Listen to Devotion After six days Jesus took with him Peter, James and John the brother of James, and led them up a high mountain by themselves. There he was transfigured before them. His face shone like the sun, and his clothes became as white as the light. Matthew 17:1-2 Jesus Alone is Your Savior It was late summer, a little more than half a year until Jesus’ crucifixion. We don’t know exactly what mountain this was, but since Jesus and his disciples had just been near Caesarea Philippi on the slopes of Mount Hermon, it is likely that this was the Mountain of the Transfiguration. Jesus took three of his disciples up the mountain with him. These three were his inner circle of friends who were privileged to witness an amazing scene—Jesus was transfigured before them. The appearance of his face and clothing changed. For a brief time, those three disciples saw the unveiled divine glory of Jesus, the bright glory that is his from eternity as the Son of God. In a few short months, these same disciples would witness the deepest point of Jesus’ humiliation on earth—his bitter suffering and death on a cross. The vision of Jesus’ divine glory on that mountain helped prepare the disciples for what they would see their friend go through at the hands of his enemies. The transfiguration of Jesus assured them that he is the Son of God whom God the Father appointed and sent to earth to be the world’s Savior from sin. With that firm conviction, Peter later preached, “Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved” (Acts 4:12). Jesus is the Son of God. Jesus alone is the world’s Savior—your Savior! Prayer: Jesus, glorified on the Mount of Transfiguration as the eternal Son of God, you went on to deeply humble yourself as my Savior on Calvary's mountain and die to take away the punishment for my sins. Lead me to always honor you as my Lord God and love you as my only Savior. Amen. Daily Devotions is brought to you by WELS.
