Podcasts about Perseverance

Open Forum The meeting centered on Bose's question about redemption through Christ, with participants affirming that believers are already redeemed through Jesus' sacrifice while still navigating trials in a fallen world. Anya led initially due to Pastor Amos joining late, and Theresa and Derrick explained that trials build perseverance (James 1:2–6) and that apart from Christ we can do nothing, emphasizing that redemption is both a present reality and a future fulfillment. Several women shared testimonies of faith amid hardship—Anya's journey to Christ after her fiancé's death, Stephanie's experience of God's provision through financial strain and caregiving, and Theresa's story of caring for her mother through inflammatory breast cancer while starting a business—encouraging Bose to remain steadfast. Pastor Amos later clarified that salvation renews the spirit though the soul and body still face challenges, noting that not all promises are fulfilled in this life and stressing the renewal of the mind through God's Word. The group also discussed persecution as a blessing, referencing 1 Peter 3:14 and Matthew 5:10–12, and highlighted perseverance in doing good (Galatians 6:9–10). Finally, they contrasted spiritual success with worldly achievement, urging believers to prioritize God's calling over financial or numerical metrics. __________ Partner with Us: https://churchforentrepreneurs.com/partner Connect with Us: https://churchforentrepreneurs.com Leave a Comment: https://churchforentrepreneurs.com/comments __________

Unbelief rarely announces itself loudly. It doesn't usually begin with rebellion — it begins with drifting. In this episode, we walk through Hebrews 3:12–19 and confront the danger of a hardened heart. God's warning to Israel in the wilderness is a warning to us today: proximity to miracles does not guarantee perseverance in faith. We'll talk about the slow creep of unbelief, the deceitfulness of sin, the importance of daily exhortation, and what it truly means to endure to the end. This is a sobering but necessary reminder: guard your heart, stay tender, and keep believing.

In this motivating episode of The Hope Zone, Dr. Brenda Caldwell (Dr. B) dives into the true meaning of perseverance. She shares heartfelt insights on how to push forward and stay the course even when the journey gets tough. Dr. B reveals how the power of perseverance can transform challenges into victories and how refusing to give up ultimately leads to triumph. Tune in to be inspired and discover how perseverance can help you win in the end.The HOPE Zone...where there's HOPE for every situation!

The God Centered Concept is designed to bring real discipleship and spreading the Gospel to help spark the Great Harvest, a revival in this generation.www.godcenteredconcept.comKingdom Cross Roads Podcast is a part of The God Centered Concept.In this conversation, TS Wright explores the message to the Church in Philadelphia from Revelation 3:7-13, emphasizing the authority of Jesus as the steward of God's household. He discusses the importance of perseverance in faith, the significance of keeping God's word, and the promise of eternal rewards for those who overcome. The conversation encourages listeners to remain faithful and to recognize their role in God's eternal plan, while also highlighting the need to listen to the Spirit's guidance.TakeawaysJesus is the steward of God's household, holding ultimate authority.The role of a steward is to manage and oversee God's kingdom.Perseverance in faith is crucial during trials and challenges.Keeping God's word is essential for spiritual strength.Jesus promises rewards for those who overcome and remain faithful.Believers are part of God's eternal plan and purpose.Listening to the Spirit is vital for understanding God's will.Opportunities from God should be seized when they arise.Glorifying God should be the focus of all actions and gifts.The call to action is to surrender fully to God's reign.

Prayer is the believer's primary weapon and constant lifeline, not a last resort but a first response. It reveals real faith in moments of pressure and should become second nature through ongoing conversation with God and specific requests. Scripture shows that bold, persistent prayer aligns us with God's provision and brings peace, while praying for others strengthens and carries the whole church. Prayer also sharpens spiritual awareness, helping believers see clearly, hear God's direction, and recognize His movement. It requires humility and dependence, reminding us that true power does not come from human effort but from reliance on God. Prayer is both the starting point and sustaining force of the Christian life, positioning us to participate in what only God can accomplish.

If a great deceiver is coming, how are the Thessalonians to know whether or not they have been deceived? As Paul corrects the false teaching among the Thessalonians, he paints a picture of two types of people: those who will be deceived and those who will stand firm.  It is in this exhortation that Paul reminds the Thessalonians church of who they are and what they have in Christ.

The thrill of a fresh start is easy to love. The quiet grind of staying when it's ordinary, costly, or unclear—that's where character is forged. We walk through Acts 20 to trace how a fragile young church learned to endure without fireworks, celebrity, or momentum: through a presence that steadies, a humility that tells the truth, and a grace that keeps working when the room empties.We start with the human pull toward beginnings: engagements, baptisms, new roles. Then we move with Paul through cities where he doesn't pitch a plan so much as lend his shoulder. The Greek sense of “encourage” is to strengthen and comfort, and that embodied care sets the tone. A late-night gathering turns tragic when a young man falls from a third-story window, and Luke—the physician-writer watching it all—records his death and restoration. The point is not to crown Paul; it's to reveal a Spirit that remains when leaders move on.From there, we press into leadership with a different currency. Paul doesn't wave results; he invites people to remember his tears, meals, conflicts, and humility. He confesses the Spirit is sending him toward suffering and treats hardship as confirmation of calling, not a detour to avoid. Integrity shows up as alignment between belief and behavior, even when change is slow. Paul's charge to elders is razor clear: guard your heart, then guard the flock. The church is a blood-bought people, not a brand or platform. Distortion is not harmless; it's drift back toward old masters. Vigilance becomes love with a backbone—resisting gossip, celebrity, and cynicism while elevating Christ above preference.We close with four practices for a steady community: stay long enough to be formed, live transparently so your life—not your image—can be seen, guard carefully to shape a healthy culture, and release trustingly when seasons change. Across it all, one anchor holds: grace builds what leadership can't, protects what pressure threatens, and keeps us when impressiveness runs dry. If this season feels heavy or unsure, you're not failing; you're in the space where endurance is formed.

That through faith, dedication, community and hard work you can pick yourself up and still accomplish and achieve life long goals you've set out for yourself. There's a bunch of inspiring moments Brian shared with us that I think people will like to hear and apply to their lives.

In this episode of Acta Non Verba, Marcus Aurelius Anderson sits down with virtuoso guitarist Angel Vivaldi to explore the intersection of artistry, authenticity, and perseverance. Angel shares insights from his recent tour with legendary guitarist Steve Morse, discusses his creative process behind concept albums like "Synapse," and reveals how he balances being 65% artist and 35% business. The conversation dives deep into topics ranging from working with difficult people and learning from enemies, to the role of AI in music, the importance of vulnerability, and why the only thing worse than living with regret is dying with it. This is a masterclass in commitment, creativity, and staying true to yourself in an industry that constantly demands compromise. Episode Highlights [2:14] Learning from Steve Morse's Humility and Reinvention - Angel describes touring with guitar legend Steve Morse and witnessing him reinvent his playing technique due to arthritis. Despite being one of the greatest guitarists alive, Morse remained humble enough to learn legato and tapping techniques from Angel, demonstrating that true mastery includes the willingness to continuously evolve. [20:59] The Muse and Discipline: Speaking Her Language - Angel shares his philosophy on creativity and the muse: "She has a lot of people to visit and she's gonna favor those who know how to speak her language. What is her language? Music." He explains why showing up consistently to practice—even without inspiration—is essential, because you're refining how you speak music so the muse can work through you. [39:44] The Synapse Album: Painting Studios and Neurotransmitters - Angel reveals the extreme creative process behind his concept album "Synapse," where each song represents a different neurotransmitter. He painted his studio a different color for each song (red for adrenaline, green for serotonin), changed scents, and even wrote at specific times of day to embody each neurochemical state—a process that nearly broke him but resulted in some of his most authentic work. [82:13] Learning from Your Enemies: Unfiltered Feedback - Angel offers a provocative perspective: "Your enemies have no stake in you liking them or them liking you. If you want unfiltered, uncensored, direct feedback on your flaws as a human being, look to your enemies." He explains how to parse criticism from adversaries to find genuine insights while filtering out projection and insecurity. Angel Vivaldi is an American virtuoso guitarist, songwriter, and producer who has been pushing the boundaries of instrumental guitar music since beginning his solo career in 2003. Self-taught from age 15, Angel has released multiple concept albums including "Universal Language," "Away With Words Parts 1 & 2," and "Synapse," each showcasing his unique blend of progressive metal, fusion, and melodic sensibility. Beyond his solo work, Angel is a multifaceted creative force—he's a cinematographer, fashion enthusiast, interior designer, and entrepreneur who founded Zenith Council, an artist services company helping musicians with branding, marketing, and creative vision. Recently, he toured as a guest guitarist with legendary Steve Morse, managing Morse's career while contributing rhythm guitar and content creation. Angel's approach to music and life embodies his belief that authenticity and vulnerability are the keys to creating art that truly resonates.

In 2011, after a stroke, chronic pain, and losing nearly everything, I discovered that faith, love, and purpose can still rebuild a life. In this episode, I share the journey that led me to create Along the Way Life's Journey and the life experiences that shaped my perspective. I grew up poor in Brooklyn during World War II, where I learned early how to survive, first as a street kid and amateur boxer, and later as a businessman. I went on to build a successful career and life, but everything changed when serious health challenges threatened my independence, mobility, and even my ability to speak. I faced chronic pain, dependence on prescribed medication, and a stroke. There were moments when I did not know how I would move forward. Through it all, my faith became my foundation. It gave me strength when I felt weak, hope when things felt uncertain, and the ability to rebuild my life with purpose. In this episode, I speak honestly about aging, grief, physical limitations, and the emotional challenges that come with loss. I also share the daily practices that sustain me, including prayer, gratitude, lifelong learning through Hillsdale College, and staying mentally and spiritually engaged. My hope in sharing my story is to remind you that aging does not take away your purpose. Every stage of life has meaning. Every day is an opportunity to grow, contribute, and love others. Life will test you, but faith, perseverance, and love can carry you through even the most difficult seasons. I am grateful to still be here, still learning, and still sharing what I have learned along the way.

"Emotional intelligence is the most important part of selling anything." This conversation goes beyond basic sales tactics. It dives into the role of emotional intelligence in automotive sales, why process discipline protects gross profit, and how top performers consistently win, even in competitive markets! Alyssa shares perspective from her journey through multiple roles inside the dealership, offering insights on leadership, mindset, and building long-term success in a results-driven industry. "If you have a customer that's coming in and they're having their first baby and they're all excited for it, you better get your ass up and be excited too." They also explore what it really takes to stand out in automotive retail in 2026 and beyond, from understanding customer psychology to maintaining control of the sales process while still building authentic relationships! If you're a car salesperson, BDC professional, manager, or dealer looking to increase income, improve leadership, and strengthen dealership performance, this episode will challenge the way you think about selling, and what it actually means to win in automotive. Tune in and discover why emotional intelligence might be the most overlooked competitive advantage in the car business!   Key Takeaways: ✅ Emotional Intelligence: Understanding and fulfilling customer needs are crucial for building long-lasting relationships and boosting sales. ✅ Adhering to Processes: Following structured sales processes not only sustains high gross profits but also enhances the customer experience. ✅ Mentorship and Leadership: Having strong mentors and assuming leadership roles can significantly accelerate personal and professional growth. ✅ Finance Management: Excelling in finance requires breaking down customer barriers and presenting value-driven products effectively. ✅ Diverse Background Impact: Various personal and professional experiences enrich one's approach to sales and management, empowering success in the field.   About Alyssa Bragg Alyssa Bragg is a seasoned professional in the automotive industry with over a decade of experience. She began her career as a BDC representative at a Toyota dealership in Pennsylvania, quickly rising through the ranks to become a successful car salesperson.

Don't miss out on LA's NADA Session on Feb. 5th at 12:30 PM PST in Las Vegas!     Millionaire Insights: Rising in the Automotive Industry One Sale at a Time Key Takeaways Embrace Emotional Intelligence: Mastering the art of emotional intelligence can transform sales experiences and lead to higher success in the automotive industry. Build Wealth Through Process and Support: Following a structured sales process and seeking mentorship paves the way for personal and financial growth. Women in Leadership: Despite being male-dominated, the automotive industry offers significant growth opportunities for women, supported by resilience and mentorship. Unlocking the Power of Emotional Intelligence in Automotive Sales In the fast-paced world of automotive sales, emotional intelligence plays a pivotal role in setting top performers apart from the rest. As LA Williams stressed in the podcast, the ability to read customers, understand their needs, and empathize with their excitement or concerns can make all the difference. Alyssa Bragg exemplifies this concept, noting, "If you have a customer that's coming in and they're having their first baby and they're all excited for it, you better get your ass up and be excited too. Like you're part of the family." This ability to identify and manage both personal emotions and the emotions of others allows salespeople to create lasting relationships with clients. It not only improves the client's experience but often leads to higher customer satisfaction and retention. Bragg underscores the importance of active listening and connecting with customers on a personal level, which are integral to effective emotional intelligence. This is what transforms a typical sales transaction into a trusted relationship, ultimately increasing sales and boosting overall dealership performance. In broader terms, adopting emotional intelligence across a dealership can change the culture and enhance team performance. It fosters a supportive environment where team members can thrive, leveraging each other's strengths and learning from shared experiences. Process, Perseverance, and Wealth-Building Strategies Bragg's journey from a BDC representative to managing a broad spectrum of automotive roles showcases the transformative power of perseverance and process adherence. This consistent application of learned procedures is fundamental in the path from ordinary salesman to an industry leader. "Follow the process that you have in place…if there's a breakdown in that process, there's going to be a breakdown in your sale," Bragg explains. A crucial aspect of building wealth in the automotive world is understanding and executing a dealership's sales process meticulously. From the initial meet and greet to a comprehensive needs analysis, every step matters. LA Williams discussed the importance of discipline, reminding listeners that the dealership environment can expose flaws just as quickly as it rewards achievements. This points to the necessity of maintaining a disciplined approach to consistently achieve sales targets and personal financial goals. Moreover, seeking mentorship and guidance from more experienced colleagues can be crucial in overcoming industry challenges. As Bragg conveys, the affirmation and coaching from her peers propelled her to realize her full potential. This aspect of shared learning and communal support is integral in cultivating a culture of growth, highlighting the significant role it plays in both individual and team success within the automotive industry. Navigating the Challenges and Opportunities for Women in Automotive Leadership Although the automotive industry remains predominantly male, there are profound opportunities for women who choose to navigate its challenges with resilience and ambition. Alyssa Bragg has successfully transcended traditional barriers, moving from sales into leadership roles. Her story serves as an inspiration and a testament to overcoming skepticism through determination and skill. Bragg shares her experiences frankly, recognizing both the challenges and the burgeoning opportunities: "The instinct is…that women don't know how to sell, women don't know how to run a business. But we do. We do. And we're so hungry and so eager to learn." This hunger translates into tenacity and resilience, qualities that allow women to persevere despite the skepticism they may encounter. Moreover, Bragg emphasizes the importance of perseverance and mentorship in overcoming these barriers. She encourages women in the field to "find yourself a mentor and just keep your head up and keep moving through," which highlights the critical role that strong professional networks and mentorship can play in navigating and overcoming industry challenges. By sharing experiences and seeking guidance, women can continue to climb the ranks within this dynamic field, shaping the future of automotive leadership. The lessons from the Millionaire Car Salesman podcast offer a well-rounded view of what it takes to succeed in the automotive industry. Emotional intelligence stands out as a vital skill to nurture connections with clients and colleagues alike. Bragg's advocacy for a steadfast focus on process and her testimony to the financial possibilities available to dedicated individuals exemplify the pathway to wealth and growth. Meanwhile, her tenacity as a woman navigating the male-dominated industry underscores the transformational possibilities present in embracing mentorship and resilience. These stories and strategies offer not just insights, but actionable advice for anyone wishing to excel in this vibrant industry.     Resources + Our Proud Sponsors: ➼ The Millionaire Car Salesman Facebook Group: Join the #1 Automotive Sales Mastermind Facebook Group with over 29,000 automotive professionals worldwide.

Real entrepreneurs don't wait for permission, causes, or perfect conditions. The game is about habitually creating their own rules and opportunities. Dan Sullivan and Jeffrey Madoff share how doubling down on what fascinates you, persevering when others chase the next trend, and always being the buyer are the secrets to transforming your entire entrepreneurial lifetime.​Show Notes: Chasing causes keeps you reactive, while building personal agency gives you freedom to create your own game in the marketplace.​Everyone doubles down on something over their lifetime, and successful entrepreneurs consciously double down on a lifelong fascination, not a passing issue. Your fascination is the thing you want to get to the bottom or center of, and it quietly organizes your entire entrepreneurial life.​Strategic Coach® thinking tools exist to help entrepreneurs turn their own life experience into a clear mission and a set of repeatable structures. The real breakthrough isn't being right all the time; it's being willing to think about things nobody else is thinking about, even if you're occasionally wrong. The future is a series of guesses and bets, and top entrepreneurs build confidence in their ability to bet on themselves over and over again. Opportunity doesn't show up fully formed; entrepreneurs create value first, then opportunities appear around that value. Perseverance is a core entrepreneurial character trait because meaningful projects always take longer, cost more, and demand more capability than expected.​In any negotiation, the real buyer is the one who can walk away, and entrepreneurs build businesses so they can always be that person. You're only an entrepreneur if you can't be fired, because you created the structure that pays you instead of plugging into someone else's. Resources: Always Be The Buyer by Dan Sullivan Man's Search For Meaning by Victor E.

Un nuevo estudio, publicado recientemente, ha permitido estudiar una de las muestras más antiguas y raras de Marte, la Belleza Negra, sin destruirla. Para ello, un equipo de investigadores ha utilizado una técnica revolucionaria, la tomografía computarizada de neutrones. Al bombardear la Belleza Negra con neutrones, estos ignoran las partes duras de la roca y chocan, interactúan y resaltan los átomos de hidrógeno. Con este método innovador, descubrieron que la Belleza Negra está compuesta por agua encerrada químicamente en minerales. El estudio ha revelado que este meteorito contiene clastos, es decir, trozos de roca incrustados dentro de otra roca mayor, ricos en un material llamado oxihidróxido de hierro. Además, estos oxihidróxidos de hierro encontrado en la Belleza Negra gracias a los neutrones, son similares a los que el rover Perseverance de la NASA ha detectado en el cráter Jezero de Marte. El hecho de que tenga la misma "huella dactilar" mineral de un meteorito que cayó en África y las muestras que está taladrando un robot a millones de kilómetros de distancia y más de 4.000 millones de años después revela que el agua no era una simple anécdota en el Marte primitivo.
