What do you do with a gift you never really learned how to use? We often treat sex like the expensive china we registered for but never use—beautiful in theory, awkward in practice. But sex isn't just skin-deep.   In this episode, Heather and Jamie talked about how our minds—and marriages—need renewing. Jamie shares the invisible legacy of trauma passed down through her family, while Heather opens up about the pressure to “perform” intimacy without ever being taught what godly sexual intimacy actually looks like.

Let this episode be an invitation to return to your first love, pull out the weeds, and let God reignite the fire in your heart.

Nehemiah 6:1-16

In this sermon, we examine the truth that God is just judge, and we explore why that's good news for the world.Psalm 64 is a psalm full of reversals: the wickedness of humanity is upended and judged by God. Series Description: The Psalms are the song book of God's people, and each summer we mine their riches. Their imagery, poetry, and theology invite us to deeper worship of God and remind us of his unchanging character.

Why do we avoid fasting so easily? What are we afraid might surface? In this episode, Fr Columba explores how fasting exposes the hidden parts of our hearts—not to shame us, but to bring healing. Drawing on personal experience and spiritual wisdom, he shows how hunger can reveal buried anger, self-reliance and wounds, offering us a chance to bring it all to Jesus and be transformed.

Rest for Your Soul: Sabbath Wisdom for a Summer of Renewal 2025 This episode explores the sacred power of stillness in seasons of change, from the quiet “Room of Tears” behind the papal conclave to the quiet mornings of our own lives. Drawing on scripture, saints, literature, and films, we uncover how Sabbath rest is more than a break, it's a threshold, a healing, a celebration, and a taste of eternity. Whether through Tolkien's Shire, a walk by the river, or a meal with loved ones, this is an invitation to rediscover time as a divine gift, not a task.

“Is the life I am living the same as the life that wants to live in me?” This searching question is one that bestselling author, legendary teacher and activist Parker J. Palmer has been exploring for decades. His practice of living this question, resulting in the type of wisdom that can only come from the crucible of one's direct experience. And Parker being the celebrated teacher and leader that he is Has generously offered what he's learned over the years. Making it accessible through his writing, teaching, and speaking.In Let Your Life Speak, now in it's 25th anniversary edition. Parker writes:"We find a path that's right for us by embracing what gives us life and rejecting what diminishes us, listening more closely to the voice of “true self” than to what others expect or demand of us. As we live more deeply into our own identity and integrity, we find both personal fulfillment and our place in the community to which we belong." In today's episode (which we originally recorded in 2022) Parker returns to the show for a beautiful part two conversation, That builds on these themes, and that actually came 3 years after part one.Together we'll explore his reflections on living with an open heart, And the practice of attuning to the wisdom of our inner teacher As we honor the often quiet voice of our soul.For more on Parker, his books, and the incredible work he's done throughout his storied career please visit newcomerpalmer.com or check out the Center for Courage and Renewal at couragerenewal.orgDid you find this episode inspiring?

This week Ron and I had a guest. We call her cousin Karyn. She is an expert in her field. We will have her back on the show. Today we are talking about Renewal through Covenant.

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit chadcrouch.substack.comRenewalSometimes my brain wakes up before my body wants to these days. And sometimes, when this occurs, I reach for my earbuds to feed my brain a gentle signal while my body transitions from asleep to awake. A couple days ago, when this happened, I instinctively decided to cue up the oldest, least recognizable opus in my trove of draft audio files: #2046. (You're invited to tap that play button at the top if you haven't already to listen in.)The tones of a familiar Pianet electric piano trickled into my ears, followed by a tape-delayed synth, an unrecognized electrified piano, then brighter, more kaleidoscopic voices. I had forgotten this piece. I listened, charmed by many things, annoyed by numerous details as well. Later that day I pulled up the session, noting it was created a year ago, to the day. I massaged it, sanded it its rough sonic edges, and came away with something I was happy with. Indeed, I'm eager to share this rediscovered piece. I've titled it Renewal. Beyond the preview above, I'm making this another Substack Exclusive. This is the only place you can hear it.Soundwalk is a reader-supported publication. Paid subscriptions start at less the $3/month. Free subscribers are valued too!Looking back, it is perhaps one of the earliest harbingers of a new direction that would become my Sleeping Animal oeuvre. Which is to say, it's the first of a string of impressionistic and atmospheric instrumental suite pieces that do not use environmental recordings to lend atmospheric overtones. Speaking of which, another planned Sleeping Animal release arrives tomorrow, May 22 on all streaming services. Look for Rays, wherever you get your music.Human Dust, or 50 Times Dumber than a StarfishThis morning I did it again. This time, at 5:30 am I chose to cue up the debut album by Eliana Glass: E. I formed a favorable first impression watching a video clip, so I was hopeful the album would prove out my hunch. Long story short, after a couple listens it largely did. I do like Glass' unique voice, which according to her blurb, “blends sonorous, androgynous poise with fluttering delicacy.” One track, “Human Dust” piqued my interest as I tried to parse out the lyrics in the dawn light of the bedroom.The first line grabbed me: “He was an artist. He died of a heart attack. He was born fifty years ago, which means he lived a half century, or 2/3 of his expected lifespan.”Well that could be me, I thought. Go on. The nearly eight minute song then lists a number of statistical observations—both private and quotidian—in an attempt to eulogize this man with objective candor, as if from an omniscient point of view. But the tone, if objective, was not empathetic or charitable: “He was unhappy and lonely more often than not, achieved 1/10,000 of his dreams…” The line that really grabbed me was this: His work was good but not great,and the last 10 years of his life he resigned himself to this fact.Could that also be me? I wondered. In the ranks of all those who self-identify as artists, what percentage are great? And these “great” artists; do they know it, like without a doubt? Padding down the stairs to make the morning coffee I felt a mix of introspection, intrigue and a touch of resentment as I strained to decode all the lyrics. Later that morning I discovered that the lyrics are a reading from the text of Agnes Denes' 1969 art installation piece, Human Dust, which features a shallow bowl of cremains on a pedestal, and the text on the wall.The interesting moments in the song come from misreads. While describing the man's future offspring, instead of “1 will have an unusual talent, 1 will be a politician, 1 will collect garbage,” Glass sings, “I will have an unusual talent, I will be a politician, I will collect garbage,” forcing a lurch in narrative framing. Instead of “[He consumed] 140 gallons of wine,” Glass murmurs, “4000-and gallons of wine”. Rather than “moved his bowels 18,548 times,” a mouthful, she abbreviates “384 times” with a cool nonchalance. Lastly, instead of “his brain contained 1010 neurons and it received 109 electrical impulses,” she deadpans “His brain contained 10 neurons and 10 electrical impulses.” Poor soul. No wonder he never achieved greatness. He was a constipated drunk; 50 times dumber than a starfish! But, comic reading aside, the heft of the work survives—despite the specifics lost in translation—and one could argue it possesses an impact that the stark bones, dust and text in a museum do not convey. I ruminated on it all morning.I could not find the text quoted on the internet. I zoomed in on the gallery photo to read it. ( In all fairness, the “1” in the typeface is mistakable for an “I”.)His work was good but not great. It struck a nerve. It's a much more potent insult to an artist, than say, a tradesperson. Good but not great is often too much to hope for, for say, a politician, but will do fine for a garbage collector, waiter, coder, etc… We hold artists to a higher standard, don't we?It's a trap. It's a wine snob type of thing, I defensively thought. “Great” is just marketing. An illusion. Shoot, even good-but-not-great wine is an order of magnitude more tolerable than good-but-not-great art. That brings me back to work #2046 / Renewal slumbering a year in digital obscurity. Just yesterday I started in on #2114. In the past year I've taken 70 stabs at making audio art. It's fair to say they can't all be great. Maybe none can. Fair enough. Whatever.I've always subscribed to the idea that art is not so different from other work. It's just something you keep doing, especially if you want to do it for a living. There is no one correct way of working as an artist. It takes all kinds. It's more of a use it or lose it proposition, as far as I'm concerned. In 1977 Woody Allen offered, “80% of life is showing up.” He went on to say, “Sometimes it's easier to hide home in bed. I've done both,” but that part got lost. So it goes with creative work. You show up. You put in the time. You practice. Hopefully you find ways to evolve and grow. Eventually you revisit old work, and it might inform a new direction. Shoot, some part of the creative process can even happen in bed. But, boil it all down, it's mostly just showing up, just like any other job. If someone says you're great, well that's just a bonus.Thanks for reading. Thanks for showing up here. I don't take it for granted.

What God starts in you, He promises to finish—fully, faithfully, and in His perfect time.

What leads us to live divided lives that defy our own sense of identity and integrity? When we do, what price do we and the world pay? How can we recover the wholeness that is our birthright? Today's guest, legendary teacher, activist, and author Parker J.

In this episode, Jason sits down with Dustin Funk, Lead Pastor of Oasis Church in Winnipeg, Manitoba. Dustin shares his journey from encountering God at summer camp as a teenager, to stepping into leadership at a small Italian-speaking church, to guiding that same church through a remarkable season of cultural transition and growth. Dustin reflects on the lessons he's learned over 27 years in pastoral ministry, how to lead through change, how to apologize well, and how to stay grounded in the faithful work of local church leadership. He talks candidly about what it was like to preach through an interpreter in an ethnic church context, how his church embraced a portable season before building a permanent home, and how he has come to embrace annual rhythms of rest. In this conversation Dustin shares about: How a camp experience shaped Dustin's call to ministry,Preaching in a language he didn't speak,The transformation of Oasis Church from an ethnic congregation to a multi-generational community,The highs and lows of 12 years as a portable church,Why he takes a study break every year,How the gospel offers something the world is hungry for.Show NotesOasis Church – Winnipeg, MBLearn more about ⁠Baptize Canada.⁠

This sermon continues our series in Jonah chapter 3, where the mercy of God takes center stage. Not just for Jonah, but for an entire city. After Jonah receives his second call, he obeys. And what follows is one of the most shocking turnarounds in Scripture: the violent city of Nineveh responds with repentance.We explore how God gives new beginnings to the undeserving, how repentance precedes renewal, and how the gospel always calls for a response. Whether you've failed like Jonah or rebelled like Nineveh, the God of a thousand chances is still speaking. And is still offering mercy.If you've felt you're too far gone, too hardened, or too stuck to change, this chapter says otherwise. Repentance is possible. Renewal is real. And it all starts with responding to the Word of God.Key Themes:· Grace Creates Second Chances: God pursues rebels and failures alike (Jonah 3:1–2)· Obedience Over Loopholes: Second chances aren't for escaping—they're for responding (Jonah 3:3–4)· Real Repentance Bears Fruit: The people—and king—of Nineveh show what true repentance looks like (Jonah 3:5–9)· Mercy Meets the Humble: God relents when hearts turn from sin (Jonah 3:10)· Someone Greater Than Jonah: Jesus offers a better Word and a better salvation (Matthew 12:41)Key Texts:· Jonah 3· Matthew 12:38–41· 2 Peter 3:9· Psalm 51· Romans 2:4· Luke 24:47Support Our Mission:Your generosity helps us proclaim Christ as King and equip disciples to make disciples.https://alloflife.churchcenter.com/givingVisit Our Website:www.alloflife.church

Ephesians 2:10 declares that we are God's workmanship—His “poiema,”. And God has works for each of us to walk out before we join Him in eternity. These works are good, planned by God, and they are life giving activities we can miss out on.

Nehemiah 5:1-19

In this sermon, we explore the reality that Christians are called to bear one another's burdens in such a way that we are participating in one another's sanctification.As disciples of Jesus who are filled with the Spirit, Christians are called to bear one another's burdens. But what exactly does that mean? And why, a few verses later, does Scripture exhort us that "each will have to bear his own load" (Galatians 6:5)? Series Description: Clericalism & Consumerism are two ever-present dangers for the church. Clericalism over-emphasizes the role of priests, bishops, and pastors, leaving ministry to “the professionals.” Consumerism causes us to relate to the church as a vendor of goods & services. To counteract these tendencies, we need to understand the biblical doctrine of the priesthood of all believers.

In this episode, Minister Martinez shares profound insights on gratitude, spiritual warfare, and the importance of faith and obedience in daily life.

Throughout the preaching, he highlights the significance of living for God's glory, the necessity of daily renewal, and the strength found in trials. The sermon culminates in an invitation to come to God for healing and renewal.Minister Robert Martinez | May 18, 2025The Fountain Apostolic Churchone_ (2025)Learn more at tfachurch.com/plusChapters:00:00 Introduction and Opening Prayer02:07 Finding Rest in God03:53 The Struggles of Faith10:24 The Journey of a New Convert16:21 Obedience and God's Will22:39 The Power of Prayer and Humility23:36 The Power of Gratitude24:43 Spiritual Warfare and Resilience27:10 Faith and Obedience in Daily Life29:12 The Importance of Community and Accountability31:51 Transformation Through God's Love33:19 The Call to Serve and Uplift Others35:54 Living for God's Glory37:58 Renewal and Daily Commitment to God40:22 Strength in Trials and Challenges43:55 The Invitation to Come to God

Matt Goodwin joins John to unpack the UK's economic, cultural, and political turmoil. Matt describes a Britain grappling with stagnant growth, a severe cost-of-living crisis, and the fallout of mass immigration, including the grooming gang scandal that has shaken public trust. He highlights the rise of Nigel Farage's Reform Party, which is surging in polls by addressing voter frustrations over broken borders, and elite disconnect, signalling a potential reshaping of the two-party system.Matt also explores the erosion of trust in legacy institutions, fueled by perceived authoritarianism from the Labour government, such as restrictions on free speech and denialism about immigration's impacts. With optimism rooted in the British people's resilience, exemplified by Brexit, this episode delves into the cultural pushback against progressive excesses and the urgent need for policies to restore national cohesion and sovereignty.Matt Goodwin is an academic, bestseller writer and speaker known for his work on political volatility, risk, populism, British politics, Europe, elections and Brexit. He is Professor of Politics at Rutherford College, University of Kent and has previously served as Senior Visiting Fellow at the Royal Institute of International Affairs, Chatham House and Senior Fellow with the UK In a Changing Europe.
