Podcasts about Renewal

It's Christmastime again—and somehow life feels louder, faster, and crazier than ever. The shopping lists. The pressure. The hurry. The sense that this season we're supposed to savor just keeps flying by. Every December, we celebrate the most important birth in the history of Creation…yet so often we blink, and suddenly it's January. In this episode of the Impactus podcast, Dean sits down with pastor and best-selling author Rich Villodas to explore how Advent invites us to slow down, breathe, and re-center our lives on Jesus. Through the lens of his brand-new book, Waiting for Jesus: An Advent Invitation to Prayer and Renewal, Rich offers a refreshing path back to peace and purpose this busy holiday season. Together, Dean and Rich explore how the practices of Advent—waiting, contemplation, prayer, and peacemaking—can ground us in the story of Christ, rather than the chaos of our cultural consumerism. Whether you're walking through joy or grief this season, Advent reminds us that hope is not just an idea—it's a Person. Settle in for a meaningful, timely, and deeply encouraging Christmas conversation with Dean and Rich!

Do you feel discouraged or hopeless about the state of your country or the world? In this episode, Fr Columba unpacks why placing our hope in politicians or institutions always leads to disappointment—and how easily we turn people into idols by expecting from them what only God can give. Drawing on The Imitation of Christ, he shows that people are channels, not sources, and that real hope returns when we place our trust in God's power, not human ability.

In this episode of The Technology of Beauty, Dr. Grant Stevens welcomes Dr. Michael Heke, Chief Scientific Officer and Managing Director at Resiliélle, for a cutting-edge conversation about the next frontier in aesthetic innovation: Age Zero exosomes. With a background in regenerative medicine and decades of research in stem cell biology, Dr. Heke explains why these exosomes, harvested from Wharton's jelly of the umbilical cord, may represent the most potent tool available for skin healing, repair, and rejuvenation.Together, they unpack the science behind “Age Zero” — a term that reflects the extraordinary regenerative power of perinatal stem cells, whose exosomes are rich in growth factors, cytokines, and genetic instructions for renewal. Unlike freeze-dried alternatives or platelet-based products, Resiliélle's clinical-grade exosomes are frozen fresh and meticulously validated for purity, potency, and performance.Dr. Heke also shares real-world applications in aesthetics, including accelerated healing after microneedling, improvements in scar remodeling, and visible enhancements in hair growth and skin texture. If you've been curious about exosomes, and what makes one product more effective than another, this episode delivers clarity from a true scientific authority.» Apple Podcasts | https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/technology-of-beauty/id1510898426» Spotify | https://open.spotify.com/show/0hEIiwccpZUUHuMhlyCOAm» Recent episodes | https://www.influxmarketing.com/technology-of-beauty/» Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/thetechnologyofbeauty/» LinkedIn | https://www.linkedin.com/company/the-technology-of-beauty/The Technology of Beauty is produced by Influx Marketing, The Digital Agency for Aesthetic Practices. https://www.influxmarketing.com/Want more aesthetic insights?

“Growing in Knowing” Series, part 4 — Colossians 1:10 “…that you may walk worthy of the Lord… and increase in the knowledge of God.” In Part 4 of our series, Pastor Andrew brings a deeply encouraging and prophetic message titled “The God Who Is Faithful.” From Deuteronomy 7:9, we are reminded that God is not just loving or holy—He is the faithful God, the covenant-keeping God, the God who stays when others walk away, the God who renews when life has drained you, and the God who finishes what He starts. This message is specifically for the broken, the weary, the rejected, and those who feel like they are running on fumes. If you have felt abandoned, overlooked, unsupported, or spiritually exhausted… God sees you. And He is faithful.

The mission field has come to us, but are we paying attention?Samuel Teka from Diaspora Network talks about the awakening happening as North American churches realize immigrant communities aren't just people to serve, but partners who have something vital to teach us about Kingdom community.Sam shares his story as a second-generation Ethiopian-American navigating the cultural gap between generations, and why that "in-between space" is exactly where God is raising up bridge-builders. You'll hear about Ethiopian coffee culture, why intentionality matters, and how missionaries from the East are now coming West.This isn't about politics—it's about the Revelation 7:9 vision becoming reality right in our neighborhoods and it's about loving our neighbor as Jesus called us to do.Learn more about Diaspora Network: diaspora-network.comSubscribe at innovativechurchleaders.org for more leadership encouragement!Links:Website: https://innovativechurchleaders.org/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@InnovativeChurchLeaders Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/InnovativeChurchLeaders/ Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/catalyzingcommunity/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/innovativechurchleaders LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/innovative-church-leaders/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@innovativechurchleaders Eric Bryant Website: https://ericbryant.org/ Eric Bryant Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ericmichaelbryant/ Eric Bryant Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ericbryant/ Eric Bryant LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/eric-bryant-397003172/ Eric Bryant X: https://x.com/ericbryant Apple Podcasts: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-post-christian-podcast/id1509588357 ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠  Spotify: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://open.spotify.com/show/6ZeQIrzr2tCMyq1VdwxGNn ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

Notes Matthew 11:2-11 Isaiah 35:1-10 James 5:7-10 Summary In this episode of the Pulpit Fiction Podcast, hosts Eric Fistler and Robb McCoy discuss the themes of Advent, focusing on the readings from Matthew, Isaiah, and James. They explore the challenges faced by churches during winter weather, the significance of John the Baptist's message, and the tension between expectations and reality during the Advent season. The conversation emphasizes the importance of community, patience, and the transformative power of faith, while also addressing the need for inclusivity and understanding in the church. Takeaways Advent is a time of reflection and preparation for the coming of Christ. John the Baptist's doubts highlight the human experience of uncertainty. Jesus invites us to see the good news in our midst, even amidst disappointment. The readings from Isaiah emphasize hope and restoration for the community. Patience in faith is not passive; it requires active engagement and community building. Transformation is a key theme in the Christmas narrative. The kingdom of God is present in acts of love and justice. Inclusivity is essential in understanding the message of the Gospel. Advent invites us to hold the tension between joy and sorrow. The church's role is to support and uplift those in need.

Why do we need God's Law to truly repent? We can't turn away from something if we don't know it's wrong. God's Law helps us understand right from wrong so we can recognize our sin, repent, and renew our relationship with Him. The Israelites in Nehemiah 9 finally get this when God's Law highlights the uncomfortable truth...they're no different than their ancestors. Their response is beautiful.Join us as we dive into one of the most powerful prayers in Scripture and walk with the Israelites through their incredible day of repentance. With this masterclass in confession, the Levites show us how to renew our relationship with God using the ACTS model of prayer. Themes of this podcast: Why wearing scratchy sackcloth matters (and what it means for us today)How repentance creates a pathway to relationship with GodGod's covenant renewals throughout Scripture all point to JesusNehemiah 9 is the last recorded covenant renewal before 400 years of silence. Then Jesus shows up with a New Covenant that He writes on our hearts.Show Notes:ACTS ModelWe love feedback, but can't reply without your email address.

Today is day 342 and we are studying The Ninth Commandment. 342. How is false witness given in public life? Any willful misrepresentation of the truth in legal, civic, or business affairs bears false witness, rebels against God's will, and subverts God's justice. (Exodus 23:1–3; Leviticus 6:1–7; Proverbs 11:1; 24:23–26, 28–29; Acts 6:8–15) We will conclude today by praying The Collect for the Renewal of Life in Morning Prayer found on page 22 of the Book of Common Prayer (2019).

This message is about understanding It is God's grace and mercy that kept us. It about understanding because of grace and mercy we are not defined by who we use to be.

Most Christians don't intentionally disobey God — they simply delay. They wait for the right moment… more clarity… more confidence… or a more convenient season. But Scripture shows us something powerful and convicting: ✨ Delay is a form of disobedience. In this second episode of the Obedience series, we dive into why hesitation is spiritually dangerous and how it often delays the very breakthrough we're praying for. In this episode, you'll learn: ✨ Why delayed obedience destroys timing ✨ How delay opens the door to fear, confusion, and distraction ✨ Why immediate obedience brings clarity ✨ Biblical examples of how obedience unlocks breakthrough ✨ Practical signs you're delaying obedience without realizing it ✨ How to step into obedience today — even if you don't feel ready If God has been prompting you to take a step, surrender something, or make a change — this episode will speak directly to your heart. Obedience is not about perfection. It's about willingness. And sometimes the next season God has for you is waiting on one simple act of obedience.

We check the markets often—but how often do we check our hearts? Most of us approach investing with calculators, not character. Yet Scripture calls us to a deeper way. What if investing isn't just a financial activity but a spiritual practice—one that shapes who we're becoming?Tim McCready, Head of Global Advisory at BrightLight (part of the Eversource Wealth Advisors team), has been helping both Kingdom Advisors and FaithFi develop a theological framework for investing that aligns our portfolios—and our hearts—with God's purposes. His recent work explores how timeless spiritual disciplines can transform how believers think about investing.Why Investing Requires a Spiritual LensTim begins with Jesus' words in Matthew 6: “Where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” That's not just a warning—it's an insight into spiritual formation.“Our investment decisions aren't just a reflection of faithfulness,” Tim says. “They're shaping who we're becoming as we seek to be like Jesus.”When we invite God into our investment decisions, investing becomes more than strategy—it becomes worship. It becomes one more place where we ask God to form us into faithful stewards.The Ignatian Prayer of Examen—For InvestorsOne of the most compelling ideas Tim introduces is applying the historic Ignatian prayer of examen to our portfolios.For centuries, believers have ended their day with this reflective practice—examining God's presence, confessing sin, noticing grace, and preparing for tomorrow.Tim suggests: What if investors practiced something similar?Rather than viewing portfolios strictly through analysis or performance, the examen helps us approach them with discernment, surrender, and spiritual attentiveness.Step One: GratitudeGratitude quiets the noise and recenters us on God's generosity. Before looking at performance or market movements, Tim encourages investors to pause and thank God for His provision.It might sound something like:“Heavenly Father, thank You for the gifts You've entrusted to me—including my investment portfolio. Speak to me about my stewardship, challenge me, and remind me of Your faithfulness as I draw near to You.”Gratitude reframes everything. It reminds us that portfolios are gifts to steward—not trophies to admire nor securities to cling to.Step Two: ReviewJust as the daily examen invites believers to review their day, the investing examen invites us to review each line of our portfolio with prayerful reflection.This simple discipline lifts our eyes beyond numbers to the impact our investments have on people, communities, and the world.As Tim notes, “We may find both joy and conviction—joy where God is pleased, and invitation where He's calling us to change.”Step Three: Repentance and RenewalThis is where the examen moves from reflection to transformation.Perhaps we discover that we've placed too much security in our portfolio. Perhaps a certain investment feels misaligned with God's desires. Perhaps God prompts us toward greater generosity.Repentance helps us acknowledge these areas honestly—and renewal invites us to receive God's forgiveness and step forward in faith.A simple prayer might be:“Gracious Provider, rule over every part of my life, including my investments. Forgive me for trusting wealth over You. Give me courage to act where You lead, and joy in following Your plan for my life.”This step reorients our trust away from the market and back toward the One who “owns the cattle on a thousand hills.” (Psalm 50:10)Step Four: Community and AccountabilityThough investing can feel private, it was never meant to be isolated.We grow best in community. Sharing a budget or portfolio with a trusted friend or mentor is humbling—but powerful. Accountability exposes blind spots, clarifies values, and encourages faithfulness.Whether through a small group, a stewardship class, or a community like the FaithFi app, transparency invites God's wisdom through God's people.Step Five: Fasting from Market NoiseWe live in an era of constant market updates, by the day, hour, and minute. Tim points out that this flood of data gives the illusion of control while feeding anxiety.A spiritual practice of “fasting” from market noise—checking less often, turning off notifications, stepping back from constant updates—helps us rest in God's provision instead of reacting to every market swing.Jesus' question echoes here: “Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?” (Matthew 6:27) Or, as Tim puts it, “add a single cent to your portfolio?”Step Six: ServiceSpiritually formed investors naturally turn outward. Financial experience is a gift meant to serve others—whether through mentoring, teaching budgeting, serving on a church finance committee, or helping younger believers develop healthy habits.Service transforms stewardship from something we manage to something we multiply.A Holistic Vision of Faithful InvestingWhen we bring together gratitude, review, repentance, community, fasting, and service, we begin to see investing not as a sterile financial exercise but as a rhythm of worship.“Investing is faithfulness,” Tim reminds us. “It forms us. It shapes us as disciples. A biblical approach to investing isn't measured only by returns, but by spiritual formation.”In other words, investing becomes a way to follow Jesus. A biblical worldview of investing doesn't start with performance—it begins with the heart. When we invite God into our investing, He uses even financial decisions to form us into the likeness of Christ.May our portfolios—and our hearts—reflect the One who has entrusted everything to us.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:I worked hard to raise my credit score to about 730, but a miscommunication with my student loan led to a late payment and brought it down to 548.

In this episode of the Espace Montreal Podcast, Axel Monsaingeon sits down with Lloyd Cooper, Executive Vice Chair at Cushman & Wakefield, to unpack the new era of downtown Montreal's office market. With 40 years in the business and over 4,000 transactions under his belt, Lloyd explains why 2025 is a record year for office leasing, why work-from-home and hybrid models are being pushed back, and how a powerful "flight to quality" is reshaping which buildings win or lose. They dig into how law firms and banks are using high-end buildouts and rich amenity packages to attract top talent, why there is a critical shortage of true Triple-A space, and where the best redevelopment and mixed-use opportunities are emerging downtown. Lloyd also shares his take on Montreal's new administration, the importance of density and zoning flexibility, and how regulatory shifts, homelessness, and political uncertainty all play into investment decisions. If you want a clear, on-the-ground read of what's really happening in Montreal's office core—and where the next big towers should rise—this conversation is packed with insight.   Topics & Timestamps ⏱️ 00:01:03 – Lloyd's background & track record

Do you ever feel frustrated, annoyed, or stuck, like the spiritual life just isn't “working” for you? In this episode, Fr Columba explores how pride shows up in subtle everyday ways: in complaining, judging, controlling, and resisting the very moments where God is trying to meet us. Drawing on Scripture and real-life examples, he shows how opening our hearts to God's will, even in the small, inconvenient, or messy things, can transform our day and help us encounter Him more deeply.

Today we're heading to the northern tip of Ibiza, a part of the island that feels worlds away from the dance floors and beach clubs you might picture.  Long before Ibiza was known for nightlife, the island became a refuge in the 1940s for writers, artists, and free thinkers. This influx planted the seeds for the island's long tradition of individuality, artistry, and living life on one's own terms.  Joining me to explore all of this is David Mulin, the General Manager of Six Senses Ibiza, a stunning sanctuary focused on wellness, sustainability, and creativity.  We discuss what makes northern Ibiza so distinct, the rituals and experiences that capture the soul of the property, and how the island's bohemian history still shapes everything from its food to its community to its energy.

When the people heard of this, they followed him on foot from the towns. When he landed, he saw a large crowd, and he felt compassion for them, healing their sick.

Pray that the hearts of people across the Middle East and other regions are open to Jesus and that they accept Him as Lord.

If you're looking for some fresh air—literally and figuratively—in your approach to leadership and life, you're in the right place. Today, MaryLou joins her friend Matt Potts: outdoor enthusiast, passionate guide, retired CPA, author of the forthcoming book "Wild Places," and all-around genuine soul. Matt's got a remarkable story, from his Kentucky childhood adventures to leading men (and women!) into the wild for connection, healing, and some good, old-fashioned unplugging.   What is so great about Matt is how seamlessly he blends wisdom gleaned from the backcountry with real-world lessons—about courage, letting go, and the power of slowing down. The conversation wanders down trails both literal and metaphorical: topics include leadership, preparation, life transitions, and the importance of finding your own wild place, whether that's in the Rockies or your own backyard.   So pour yourself something cozy, and settle in for a chat that might just inspire you to get outside—or, if nothing else, think a little differently about what it means to lead and to live fully.

Rod Serling was born on Christmas Day (Squeeze, 1996) and that fact forever touched him. He wrote three scripts for the original 'Twilight Zone' that have a Christmas context, as well as the mother of all Christmas screenplays (of his genre) entitled "The Messiah of Mott Street". The latter he wrote for the 1969 anthology 'Night Gallery'. During the next two weeks I will be showing the two best of them (IMO) -- "The Changing of the Guard" (1962) and "The Messiah of Mott Street" -- on successive Thursday evenings at Cranmer House in Homewood, AL. In each of these scripts Serling unfolds, out of imminent tragedy, rejection and loss, the possibility of Renewal, Redemption, and Hope. And each time in less than a half hour! Personally, I believe life is like that. What I mean is, Christians are not nihilists. Nor is life always "complicated". We believe -- from personal experience and not just from "teaching" -- that God answers prayers. Mary Zahl teaches this. Pastor Paula teaches this. And I have come to believe it. Watch these Twilight Zone half-hours, and they will build you up (Buttercup). LUV U. Oh, and this cast is dedicated to the Rev. Aaron Zimmerman.
