Podcasts about persevering

What are you building today that you may never fully enjoy?In this Father's Day message, John Gunter examines the story of Nehemiah and the rebuilding of Jerusalem's walls. Through opposition, weariness, and discouragement, God's people discovered that the wall itself was never the ultimate goal. The goal was renewal, worship, and preparing a future they might never fully experience.This sermon reminds us that faithful people build with future generations in mind. They persevere through ordinary days, trust God through difficult seasons, and keep moving forward even when they feel tired.Key Themes: Building for future generations  Persevering when you feel worn out  Why discouragement isn't defeat  The importance of ordinary faithfulness  Remembering that the Lord is great and awesome 

James 1: 1 - 18

What do you do when following Jesus becomes difficult? In Episode 167 of the 2 Minute Disciple podcast, we meditate on John 6:66–71, one of the most sobering moments in Jesus' ministry. After hearing His hard teaching, many disciples turn away and stop following Him. Rather than chasing them or changing His message, Jesus turns to the Twelve and asks a piercing question: “Are you also going to leave?” Peter's answer remains one of the most powerful confessions of faith in Scripture: “Lord, to whom would we go? You have the words that give eternal life.” This contemplative devotional explores what it means to remain with Jesus when faith is tested, understanding is incomplete, and the crowd is moving in another direction. Through guided prayer, reflection, and spiritual practice, you'll be invited to consider the reasons you continue to trust Christ and why there is nowhere else you would rather be. Whether you're walking through doubt, disappointment, confusion, or spiritual fatigue, this episode offers encouragement to stay close to the One who alone has the words of eternal life. In this episode: • John 6:66–71 devotional reflection • Peter's confession of faith • Following Jesus through difficult seasons • Persevering when others walk away • Christian meditation and contemplative prayer • Spiritual endurance and discipleship • Trusting Christ when understanding is incomplete

Luke 18:1-8

Chased. Opposed. Misunderstood. Beaten. These are the realities Paul, Barnabus, and the early church faced as they went on mission with Jesus, spreading the Gospel. Their call and courage to face all they faced came from hearts that were captured by Jesus, and because of that, people were transformed. It makes me wonder if I have too much to lose to be on mission with Jesus. Am I treasuring something more than I treasure the Gospel? What has my heart, really? How can I ensure my heart is capture by Christ more than anything else?

In Acts 14, Paul and Barnabas experience misunderstanding, suffering, perseverance, and ultimately the strengthening of the church — reminding us that God works through both miracles and hardships to shape a story worth sharing, and that the gospel most powerfully moves forward through ordinary people who faithfully point others to Jesus.

Persevering in the mission and having lasting kingdom impact requires a posture that is rooted in dependence on the Holy Spirit. When God moves, you must resist the temptation to absorb the platform and remain steady through both praise and persecution. Over time, real impact comes as you faithfully multiply what God has done in you into others.

In this heartfelt and emotional episode of Outside the Pins, we sit down with graduating senior Jaclyn “Jac” Dutkiewicz to reflect on a journey filled with resilience, love, growth, laughter, and ultimately a national championship.

What happens when years of discipline, performance, and expectation lead to an outcome you never planned for? In this episode, former USC quarterback Max Browne shares two powerful leadership takeaways: why acknowledging failure is a critical step toward growth, and how maintaining focus amid uncertainty can shape long-term success. His journey offers a candid look at what it means to persevere when the path forward no longer looks the way you expected.Max reflects on his experience as the nation's top high school quarterback and his decision to attend USC, where early expectations quickly shifted. After losing the starting quarterback position, he was forced to confront adversity in a way he never had before. He credits his upbringing for instilling accountability and resilience, explaining how those values helped him navigate disappointment, stay grounded, and continue showing up as a leader despite changing circumstances.Throughout his college career, Max experienced significant instability, including multiple coaching changes and evolving team dynamics. Rather than viewing this as a setback, he chose to see it as an opportunity to learn from a variety of leadership styles. He shares how these experiences strengthened his perspective and ultimately prepared him for his career as a broadcaster. He also opens up about one of the lowest points in his life, when he lost his starting role after finally earning it, and how seeking support outside of football played a pivotal role in his ability to move forward.Following a career-ending injury and the realization that his future would extend beyond football, Max began intentionally preparing for what came next. By investing time in content creation and relationship building before his career officially ended, he created new opportunities that aligned with his evolving identity. One of his most impactful lessons is the importance of setting aside pride in order to grow, a mindset that ultimately opened unexpected doors. His story reinforces a final key takeaway: long-term success is built not just on talent, but on the willingness to adapt, take ownership, and consistently invest in what comes next.Links & Resources:Follow Suken on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/in/sukenjain/Email Suken at: suken@synergysyncsolutions.comSynergy Sync Solutions Website: https://www.synergysyncsolutions.com/This episode was brought to you by Pivot Ball Change.

Revelation 3:7-13

Psalm 36

Today on Table Talk with BBYOInsider, we are giving an in-depth look at this week's parsha—Parsha Shmini—as part of the Simchat Torah Challenge.

In this episode of NASCIO Voices, Amy is joined by NASCIO guest host Kalea Young-Gibson to break down NASCIO's latest report on the state Chief Privacy Officer (CPO) role. The report — based on responses from all 28 currently active state CPOs — reveals a role that's growing fast but still fighting for the resources it needs.Amy and Kalea dig into the rapid expansion of CPOs across state government (from just 5 states in 2015 to 31 in 2026), the push toward formal privacy programs and frameworks, and how AI is reshaping — and sometimes overshadowing — the privacy function. Despite CPOs stepping into enterprise leadership roles, most still lack dedicated budgets, enforcement authority, and sufficient staffing.The conversation also covers what CPOs say they need most: funding, CIO support, and a stronger seat at the table. Amy's key takeaway? CPOs know exactly what to do — they just need the authority and investment to do it.Key topics covered:Growth of the state CPO rolePrivacy program maturity and the NIST frameworkCPO involvement in AI policy and riskTop challenges: funding, authority, and awarenessWhat CPOs need to succeed in 2026 and beyondAnd what we're reading!

February 17th, 2026:  The Holy Face - Reparation or Chastisement? The Choice is Ours;  Lent Well-Spent - Prepare for 40 Days with 40 Hours;  Persevering with the Holy Face of Jesus

The Catechism teaches about the effectiveness of prayer and how to persevere in prayer. Fr. Mike explains that although God already knows what we need before we ask, he wants us to pray, and he extends us dignity by allowing us to pray and ask for what we need. In the process of prayer, we are able to learn the heart of the Father, grow closer to him, and become more like him. The Catechism goes on to state that when it comes to prayer, it is always possible, a vital necessity, and inseparable from the Christian life. Today's readings are Catechism paragraphs 2738-2745. This episode has been found to be in conformity with the Catechism by the Institute on the Catechism, under the Subcommittee on the Catechism, USCCB.
