Podcasts about Praise

On the Thursday episode of the North Shore Drive podcast, presented by FanDuel and Edgar Snyder & Associates, host Christopher Carter and Post-Gazette insider Ray Fittipaldo take a look at the state of the team ahead of their season opener against the Atlanta Falcons. What does Aaron Rodgers' praise of Roman Wilson mean for the offense? Is Wilson out of the doghouse or just one or two mistakes away from going back in it? And what's the status on Joey Porter Jr.'s contract negotiations? Has the secondary struggled to come together without him? Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Robert Saleh is praising his former Jets players ahead of Week One, but Shaun Morash sees the same problem that bothered him during Saleh's time in New York: he may simply be too nice to have the killer instinct an NFL head coach needs. Tiki Barber agrees the Jets are the better team on paper and says there should be no excuses against Tennessee. Shaun Morash is in for Evan Roberts alongside Tiki Barber. The Giants also take center stage as Joe Schoen raises expectations for John Harbaugh's first season, Jaxson Dart enters a crucial second year, and questions remain about Malik Nabers, the offensive line, defensive tackle and a crowded running back room. Plus, Shaun declares the Yankees' matchup with the Angels a must-win as their division hopes hang in the balance.

When life is going well, it's easy to praise and thank God. But what about when life feels hard and overwhelming? Wendy Speake shares from her book, "A Sacrifice of Praise and Thanksgiving: 30 Days of Rejoicing in God's Goodness." She'll remind you that you can thank God for His character, even when you don't understand His ways.   Ask Fast Prayer Examples: God I need... becomes God, You know my needs God, heal me becomes Lord, You are the Great Physician God, pull me out of the pit of despair becomes God of all comfort, how kind of You to meet me in the depths of my despression God, save my kids and grandkids becomes Your arm is not too short to save my children or grandchildren God redeem becomes the simple boast Redeemer God! God, I'm worried about this generation becomes You are the God of every generation, and I eagerly anticipate Your saving grace on display.How has this fast impacted you?

https://wels2.blob.core.windows.net/daily-devotions/20260902dev.mp3 Listen to Devotion Not only so, but we ourselves, who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, groan inwardly as we wait eagerly for our adoption to sonship, the redemption of our bodies. Romans 8:23 Groan With Hope The Bible calls the blessings we receive as Christians (for example, the peace of forgiveness) the “firstfruits.” The full harvest is coming. We have not experienced all the blessings that God promised. Therefore, we still battle temptations and fight our sinful nature. We still feel the aches of aging bodies. Because sin has left its mark on us, we groan. But the Christian’s groan is different. The world hopes things might get better. The Christian groans with certainty. We know things will get better. Our groaning is not the cry of someone abandoned by God. It is the longing of a child waiting to go home. The apostle Paul says we wait for “the redemption of our bodies.” What a wonderful promise! God is not interested only in saving our souls. Jesus redeemed the whole person. The same body that grows tired and eventually dies will be raised in glory. On the Last Day, Christ will transform our lowly bodies to be like his glorious body. No disease. No disability. No pain. No death. Only perfect life in the presence of our Savior. How can we be so sure? Because Jesus has already walked this path. He groaned under the weight of our sin. He endured the agony of the cross. His body was laid in a grave. But on the third day, he rose. His resurrection is God’s guarantee that ours is coming. His resurrection was the firstfruit of others to come. Until then, we do not pretend life is easy. We bring our griefs, disappointments, and fears to our Savior. We groan and pray fervently. And we wait eagerly, knowing that every day brings us one step closer to the moment when our groans are drowned out by the song of victory that God’s children will one day sing forever. Prayer: Heavenly Father, thank you for making me your child through faith in Jesus. When I grow weary under the burdens of this life, strengthen my hope as I wait for the resurrection of my body and the joy of living forever in your presence. Through Jesus Christ, my risen Savior. Amen. Daily Devotions is brought to you by WELS. This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial-No Derivative Works 3.0 United States License.

“The mountains and hills will burst into song before you, and all the trees of the field will clap their hands.” — Isaiah 55:12 Isaiah 55 captures the deep, joyful relationship between God and the world he has made. This chapter overflows with delight in the connection between Creator and creation. What Isaiah describes is resonance— the voice of God and the voice of the world echoing back and forth in harmony.Isaiah points to the remarkable life cycle of the earth: the seasons for planting and harvesting, and the gifts of rain and snow that water the ground. We may not see the immediate effects of a rainfall; seeds planted in the soil respond to the moisture and begin to sprout. Those sprouts grow into crops, and the crops provide food. What begins quietly ends in abundance.This imagery carried deep meaning for God's people. Even if they had a river or a spring for water, they knew they could not survive without the gift of rain or snow. In periods of drought, some of the people turned to worship the gods of other nations, as if maybe those gods could bring rain for their crops. But those ideas yielded only false hope. Through Isaiah, God called the people back to trust and celebrate the only One who truly rules the world and everything in it.Take some time today to reflect on the beauty of creation and hear the invitation to seek and trust in the one, true, faithful God, who provides for all our needs. Hallelujah! Lord, we honor you as the King of creation. Help us to see that you always provide for us, and may we deepen our trust in you alone. In Jesus, Amen.

It is instructive that the book of Psalms ends in praise. Everything that we do together on Sunday mornings and throughout the week ought to be for the praise of God, to glorify him, to delight in his goodness as our creator and our redeemer. Listen as RUF Campus Minister Ethan Brown preaches on 150, showing that, as the book of Psalms ends in praise, so all of history is to the end of praising God's glorious grace. Pastor Ethan focuses his teaching on this Psalm into two main points: praising with the cosmic choir and praising for the right reasons.

Praise the Lord, what does that look like?

What does it look like to raise a girl who is creative, courageous, resilient, and willing to step into the opportunities God places before her? On this episode of the Raising Godly Girls Podcast, Melissa Bearden and Natalie Ambrose shine a spotlight on the entrepreneurial spirit in Christian girls—and explore how parents can help their daughters discover and steward the gifts, passions, and talents God has uniquely given them.  Entrepreneurship isn't simply about starting a business. For a Christian girl, it can be an opportunity to learn confidence, leadership, problem-solving, perseverance, and faithful stewardship while keeping Christ at the center. Melissa and Natalie discuss the qualities they see in Christian women who blaze new trails, from faith and vision to humility, teachability, diligence, and a willingness to wrestle through the ups and downs of success. They also explore the importance of helping girls pursue God's purpose rather than simply chasing a personal passion.  In a Raising Godly Girls Minute, AHG Founder & Executive Director Emeritus Patti Garibay encourages parents not to hold back young entrepreneurs simply because they are young. Whether a girl loves baking, making jewelry, designing, strategizing, or solving problems, small opportunities can teach her to take healthy risks, learn from failure, and invest her gifts in God's Kingdom. Melissa and Natalie offer practical ways families can give girls room to explore new interests, praise resilience rather than perfection, and keep their identities firmly rooted in Christ rather than in a particular talent or hobby.  The conversation also highlights how American Heritage Girls provides girls ages 5 to 18 with opportunities to explore passions, develop skills, practice Biblical leadership, and grow in resilience. From the Entrepreneurship and Biblical Leadership Badges to the many possibilities within AHG's Badge Frontiers, girls have countless opportunities to discover how God has wired them and consider how their gifts can be used to serve Him and others. Listeners will also hear about Heritage Headlines and the inspiring stories of AHG Alumnae who are following God into new territories.  Whether your daughter is already dreaming up her first business or simply loves creating, solving, leading, or serving, this episode offers encouragement to nurture her gifts while teaching her the most important lesson of all: her identity is not found in what she can accomplish, but in who she is in Christ.    Three Things to Consider:  Give your girl space to explore new hobbies, skills, and passions.  Praise her resilience and willingness to learn through failure—not just her performance or success.  Help her keep her identity rooted in the Lord, because passions may change, but her identity in Christ endures.    Scriptures Referenced:  1 Corinthians 12  Luke 14:28  Matthew 25:40    Visit raisinggodlygirls.com for more encouragement and faith-based parenting tools.       Learn how to find or start an American Heritage Girls Troop in your community at americanheritagegirls.org.

https://wels2.blob.core.windows.net/daily-devotions/20260901dev.mp3 Listen to Devotion For the creation waits in eager expectation for the children of God to be revealed . . . the whole creation has been groaning as in the pains of childbirth right up to the present time. Romans 8:19,22 Creation Can’t Wait Have you ever noticed how often the world reminds us that something isn’t right? Wildfires scorch forests. Tornadoes uproot trees. Droughts wither crops. Pretty soon, depending on where you live, the beauty of creation will fade with the changing seasons. Sometimes we speak of nature as though it is simply running its course. But the Bible tells us that creation is groaning. It wasn’t always this way. When God completed his work of creation, he declared that everything was “very good” (Genesis 1:31). There was no death. No decay. No storms. No disease. The world reflected the perfection of its Creator. Then Adam and Eve sinned. When humanity fell, the curse reached far beyond Adam and Eve. God said, “Cursed is the ground because of you” (Genesis 3:17). Thorns and thistles appeared. Death entered. Since then, every hurricane, every broken body, every dying tree, and every cemetery has proclaimed the same truth: sin has affected everything. Yet, there is hope. Creation is waiting for the day when Christ returns to reveal his children. The created world knows, in a way beyond our understanding, that its own freedom is tied to ours. When Jesus raises the dead and makes all things new, creation itself will be set free from its bondage to decay. That means the groaning of creation is not the groan of despair but of eager expectation. Just as a mother experiences labor pains in anticipation of celebrating a new life, so does this world. Therefore, we can look at natural disasters differently. We are not left without hope. Every time we see creation suffer, we are pointed to the One who is coming to restore it. When he does, the curse will be lifted, and we will enjoy a new creation forever. Therefore, with creation, we can’t wait. Prayer: Lord Jesus, when I see the brokenness of this world, remind me that you have already conquered sin, death, and the curse. Give me confidence to endure the groaning of this present age as I wait for the glory you have promised. Amen. Daily Devotions is brought to you by WELS.

Chris McMonigle celebrates the huge victory, what it means for the postseason, and what it says about how far this Yankee team can go in October.

Leadership isn't just about making hard decisions; it's about staying tender while carrying the weight of serving others. In this episode, La Manda Cunningham CEO of the Topeka Rescue Mission joins us for an honest conversation about burnout, comparison, staffing challenges, and the pressures of serving neighbors facing homelessness, hunger, addiction, and mental health crises. We also talk about TRM's Night of Praise on October 11th at Fairlawn Nazarene Church in Topeka, a free evening of worship and community impact with doors opening at 5:30pm and music at 6pm, plus an invitation to bring a non-perishable food item. Finally, La Manda shares lessons from the City Gate Network CEO Summit, including finding “peace in the middle,” letting go of the pressure to wear a mask, and making space for quiet, phone-free time with God to truly reset.Send us a Message!

Scripture is filled with thanksgiving, and gratitude ought to be a constant part of the Christian heart. We should thank Him for His blessings, His grace, His provision, His forgiveness, and the countless ways He works in our lives.But before I thank God for what He has done, I want to remember who God is.There is something powerful about approaching God without beginning with ourselves. Before I get to what He has given me, what I need from Him, or what I hope He will do, I simply praise Him. He is holy. He is righteous. He is eternal. He is Creator. He is King. He is worthy.Praise says, “God, You deserve my worship whether You give me anything else or not.” It glorifies Him not first for His gifts, but for His Deity and identity. “Great is the LORD, and highly to be praised” (Psalm 145:3).So yes, thank God. Thank Him often. Bring your requests to Him. Tell Him what you need. But maybe before any of that, spend some time simply telling God how great He is.Praise His name. Honor His glory. Worship Him from the heart. Thank Him—but praise Him first.

Rosalynde Welch reflects on Psalm 102, showing how lament can become praise and deepen discipleship amid suffering.

Do you ever pause and reflect on how God is working in your life?  Maybe you sit down and write the lessons you learned from Him? Or maybe you remember the ways He has answered your prayers? It is so important to pause, reflect, and remember what the Lord is doing in our lives. I am excited this week to have my mentor, Kathe Wunnenberg, back on the podcast. She was visiting, so we recorded in person in my new office! Excited to share about our ministry years. My ministry year goes from August to August, so we are going to recap any updates. But more importantly, we are going to talk about pausing, sometimes pivoting, and praising the Lord! You do not want to miss the wisdom that Kathe shares. It is exciting to be celebrating the 7th year anniversary of the podcast as well as the 4th birthday of the book. I have some previous special episodes to share as well as the first two interviews with Kathe on the podcast- see below.  Important Links: Depth Podcast Episode 53: I want to share a link to my first conversation with Kathe on the Depth Podcast back in 2020.

Parsons says Hunter is underrated

Today we reflect on a prophetic moment from our service where a vision showed stones praising because the church was silent. We will identify a religious spirit that silences worship, and we encourage believers to respond to God's visitation with bold praise, and draw on Luke 19 and Psalms to explain why worship defeats enemy attacks.  

Send us Fan MailWe continue our tour through Book Five of the Psalms by returning briefly to Psalm 118 and then exploring Psalm 119 and the Songs of Ascents in Psalms 120–134. Throughout these psalms, we find God's people learning to delight in His instruction, trust His faithfulness, and joyfully draw near to His presence.We begin with a few more connections in Psalm 118, including the repeated call to Israel, the house of Aaron, and all who fear the Lord. We also look at how the Hallel Psalms appear in the story of Jesus' final week. These weren't simply ancient songs—these were words Jesus and His disciples knew, sang, and used.Then we turn to Psalm 119 and the Torah. Rather than thinking of Torah simply as "law," we explore it as God's teaching and instruction for His people. The psalmist asks God to teach him, finds freedom in God's commands, looks to God's Word for counsel, and repeatedly describes the Torah as his delight. Psalm 119 challenges us to ask some difficult questions: Where do I look for counsel? Do I truly delight in God's instruction? Am I hungry to learn what He has taught us? And how often does knowing God lead me to praise Him?From there, we begin the Songs of Ascents, Psalms 120–134. Imagine families traveling together up to Jerusalem, singing these songs along the way as they anticipated worshiping at the Temple and drawing near to the presence of God. As the journey unfolds, the songs remind travelers that God watches over them, remains near, hears their prayers, and can be trusted because He has proven Himself faithful.But the journey isn't filled only with celebration. These songs make room for struggle, waiting, and longing too. God's people remember past hardships, pray for Jerusalem, ask God for grace, and wait for Him to act. Psalm 130 reminds us that with God there is forgiveness, chesed, and full redemption, while Psalm 131 gives us the beautiful picture of a contented child resting securely with its mother.Along the way, we're also reminded that children are a gift, obedience brings blessing, God is actively involved in the lives of His people, and His presence among them is worth celebrating.Finally, the travelers arrive. Psalm 134 ends the journey exactly where it was headed all along—in God's presence, with hands lifted in praise.As we move closer to the end of the Psalms, a familiar invitation becomes louder and louder: Praise the Lord. Through obedience and struggle, traveling and waiting, blessing and uncertainty, God's people can keep looking to Him. He is living, active, faithful, and worthy of our praise.If you want the FREE hand outs that go along with this series, sign up for our newsletter at our website. Our website is The Context and Color of the BibleWe are on Facebook - The Context and Color of the Bible | FacebookWe are on Instagram - @contextandcolorofthebibleWe are on YouTube - The Context and Color of the Bible - YouTubeMusic: Tabuk by Kevin MacLeod Link: https://incompetech.filmmusic.io/song/4453-tabukLicense: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/

Hard feedback lands better when it's said face-to-face.In this episode, William digs into the conversations leaders tend to avoid, why some feedback should never be sent in an email, and how trust is built through honesty and clarity. He also answers listener questions on meetings, team buy-in, hiring, culture fit, and why leading people well rarely looks the same from one person to the next.

This Sunday, August 30, 2026 Pastor Travis Boyd closed our series in the Psalms by reading Psalm 150. Join us to hear about how everything with breath is to praise the Lord!

In part four of A Day in the Life, Pastor Robey Barnes explores what it looks like to build a life saturated in prayer and fueled by passionate praise. From the early church's devotion to prayer in Acts 2 to powerful moments throughout Scripture, we see that prayer isn't about giving God a to-do list or trying to control the outcome—it's an act of surrender rooted in knowing who God is. When praise reminds us of His power, goodness, and authority, our perspective begins to change. Discover how a daily rhythm of prayer and praise can deepen our dependence on God, stir our awe of Him, and teach us to confidently call on the name of the Lord in every season.

Pastor Jerry Madden recaps a great 'celebration' Sunday at Praise. College football pick 'em is back! And we discuss some of the plans coming up at Praise. Listen along and share!

Praise is more than a response; it's the completion of our joy and an exchange that brings us into God's presence, trading heaviness for His joy. And when we praise, it doesn't just change us; it shifts the atmosphere around us, silences the enemy, and sets captives free.

https://wels2.blob.core.windows.net/daily-devotions/20260831dev.mp3 Listen to Devotion I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us. Romans 8:18 No Comparison A diagnosis. An unexpected funeral. The loss of a job. A difficult marriage. Chronic pain. Loneliness. Anxiety. The daily struggle against temptation. The list can go far beyond the 400-word limit for this devotion. The Bible never denies suffering. Nor does it pretend or promise that Christians have an easier life. In fact, sometimes Christians have a more difficult life because they are Christians. That’s what the Bible call the cross—suffering for the sake of our faith. But when you place our crosses alongside the crown that Christ has prepared, there is no comparison. Imagine placing a pebble beside a mountain or a single candle beside the noon-day sun. The pebble is real. The candle gives real light. But beside something infinitely greater, they fade from view. So, too, the glory Christ won for us by his death and resurrection is so overwhelming that today’s suffering cannot be compared to tomorrow’s joy. That doesn’t mean our pain doesn’t matter. It mattered enough that Jesus entered it himself. He carried the greatest cross ever borne—the weight of the world’s sin, the Father’s judgment, and death itself. At Calvary, our Savior wore a crown of thorns so that one day we would wear the crown of life. Because Christ carried the cross first, your crosses are never signs that God has abandoned you. They are reminders that you are following the Savior who walked this road before you. More than that, they assure you that suffering is never the final chapter of your story. The day is coming when tears will be wiped away, and sin will trouble you no more. Your body will be raised in glory, and you will stand forever in the presence of the One who redeemed you. Until then, fix your eyes not on the weight of today’s cross but on the certainty of tomorrow’s crown. Prayer: Lord Jesus, when the crosses of this life seem too heavy to bear, lift my eyes to the glory you have prepared for me. Remind me that you carried the greatest cross so that I might receive the crown of life. Strengthen my faith to endure with hope until the day I see you face to face. In your holy name I pray. Amen.

What do you do when you find yourself in a "strange land"—feeling spiritually homesick, weary from the climb, or wondering if you've wandered too far from the presence of God? In Psalms 101–150, the Psalter reaches its majestic, final crescendo, providing an unbroken anthem of mercy, divine guidance, and transcendent praise. Summary: In this concluding study of the Book of Psalms (Chapters 101–150), we explore the sacred culmination of ancient Israel's worship. From David's personal covenant to walk with integrity within his own home, to the grand 176-verse acrostic ode to the scriptures in Psalm 119, these chapters teach us how to transform every trial into "one more strain of praise." The King's Standard: We analyze Psalm 101, looking at David's 12-part pledge to set "no wicked thing" before his eyes and create a sanctuary of righteousness within his home. As Far as the East Is from the West: We dive into Psalm 103, examining the infinite reach of God's tender mercies and His divine understanding that "we are dust". The Cornerstone and the Hosanna: We unpack the Messianic majesty of Psalms 110 and 118, discovering how the rejected stone became the head of the corner and exploring the ancient background of the Triumphal Entry. The A-to-Z of Scripture Study: We deconstruct Psalm 119, the ultimate 22-stanza Hebrew acrostic, uncovering how hiding God's word in our hearts creates an internal lamp that keeps us from stumbling in the dark. The Songs of Ascent: We journey through Psalms 120–134, the ancient pilgrimage hymns sung as travelers ascended toward the temple in Jerusalem, discovering how to find peace in times of war and reap in joy after sowing in tears. The Final Doxology: We finish with Psalms 145–150, exploring the final five Hallelujah psalms and learning why Psalm 150 calls on every single instrument, element of creation, and "every thing that hath breath" to praise the Lord. Call-to-Action: Psalm 139 reminds us that whether we ascend to heaven or make our bed in hell, the hand of the Lord is still there to lead and hold us.

Romans 2:12–29 shows that conscience, knowledge, and religious rituals cannot make us right with God. Everyone has some awareness of right and wrong, but none of us consistently lives up to even our own standards. Knowing Scripture and correct doctrine is important, but simply knowing the truth is not enough if we don't live it. In the same way, outward religious practices like baptism, traditions, and ceremonies have value, but they cannot replace genuine faith and a transformed heart. Paul's point is that we cannot rescue ourselves through being good, knowing the Bible, or practicing religion. When we trust those things, they can actually lead to pride and hypocrisy because we begin judging others while overlooking our own failures. What we truly need is Jesus. God isn't looking merely for outward religious behavior; He wants inward transformation. Our hope is not in how much we know or what religious things we do, but in Christ's grace that forgives us, changes our hearts, and makes us children of God.
