Podcasts about Renewal

In the final message of The Story We're In, we discover that the Church isn't a building to attend but a people filled with God's presence, sent on God's mission, and invited to God's table. As we look ahead to the day when Jesus makes all things new, we're reminded that our calling isn't to simply wait for heaven—it's to faithfully join God's work of renewal here and now.Check out the sermon at bridge.tv/sermons or wherever you stream podcasts.To support this ministry and help us continue our God given mission, click here: http://bit.ly/2NZkdrCSupport the show

Henry VIII didn't break with Rome for faith. He broke with it for property.That's the part most history books leave in the margins. The standard story is that Henry wanted a divorce, Rome said no, and England broke away. But the real prize was never the marriage. It was sitting behind the monastery walls — land, silver, grain, charters, deeds — the largest concentrated wealth in England, waiting for a monarch with the administrative capacity to take it.Henry VII spent twenty-four years building that capacity. Bonds and recognizances that held roughly half the English peerage financially hostage. The Council Learned in the Law. The Chamber finance system. A government that could measure, monitor, and enforce. Then Cromwell arrived at court and recognized what his father-figure Wolsey had been extending — that the machinery pointed at the nobility could be pointed at the Church instead.The Valor Ecclesiasticus of 1535 catalogued every religious house in England. The Court of Augmentations was purpose-built in 1536 to process the seizure. Between 1536 and 1540, roughly £1.3 million in monastic wealth transferred to the Crown — more than Henry VII had left in the entire treasury. Henry VII built the engine. Cromwell found the target. Henry VIII pulled the lever.════════════════════════════

I pray also that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints, and his incomparably great power for us who believe. That power is like the working of his mighty strength, which he exerted in Christ when he raised him from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly realms, far above all rule and authority, power and dominion, and every title that can be given, not only in the present age but also in the one to come. And God placed all things under his feet and appointed him to be head over everything for the church, which is his body, the fullness of him who fills everything in every way.”   Ephesians 2:8–10 “For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith – and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God – not by works, so that no one can boast. For we are God‘s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.“   Ephesians 2:13 “But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far away have been brought near through the blood of Christ.“   Philippians 1:6 “being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.”

Knowing_Hashem_Through_Collapse_and_Renewal___Ezekiel_6

Everyone has enemies. Opposition is part of what it means to be human in a broken world. In this sermon, we look at Psalm 83 and its stark call for God to judge his enemies. We learn how God's justice frees us to radically forgive and love others—remembering that Christ died to save us while we were still His enemies.

Transformation Through Renewal (2026-7-26) Live Sunday Morning Service with Pastor Curtis Hutchinson

“Love for our neighbors, then, like love for ourselves, involves something vastly more significant than the meeting of individual needs. It involves God's reaching out in us and through us to build a kingdom, a sphere of rulership, in which his will is done in the fallen world as it is in the sinless heavens; in which cruelty and disorder and the distortion caused by sin are supplanted by love, order, and righteousness. Loving obedience to God produces much more than individual goodness, respectability and the alleviation of suffering. It builds the kingdom of heaven.” -Richard Lovelace, Renewal as a Way of Life Earthly Wisdom vs Wisdom from Above (James 3:13-18) Rev. Bradley Barnes James 3:13-18

A famous song once retold the story of millions traversing to a music festival to try to get themselves "back to the garden." And, as we explore this morning, the idea of getting back to the place where everything is good and perfect is actually a normal human longing. But, the idea that we have to get ourselves there doesn't line up with the core beliefs of our Christian Faith. While we live in tension between "the already and the not yet", how do our deepest yearnings align with the work that Jesus alone can do (and is already doing, and has already done?)

As the people of Judah returned from exile, God used the prophet Zechariah to remind them that rebuilding the Temple was not enough—they first needed to return to the Lord. That same invitation remains for us today. In this message from Zechariah 1–4, we'll discover that when we return to God, He restores our relationship with Him through His gracious forgiveness, renews our purpose by calling us into His service, and empowers us by His Spirit to shine His light in the world. God's invitation is as timely now as it was then: "Return to Me, and I will return to you."

What resources does the Islamic tradition offer in times of crisis, and what does genuine regeneration look like?In this episode of The Thinking Muslim, we are joined by Dr. Sohaira Siddiqui to explore how Muslims have historically responded to periods of political collapse, colonialism, and institutional decline. Drawing on the thought of Imam Juḥany and the broader Islamic intellectual tradition, the conversation examines how the Ummah can rebuild from the ground up through scholarship, institutions, and community.The discussion explores the relationship between political authority and religious authority, the enduring independence of Islamic scholarship, the legacy of colonialism, and why the mosque remains central to Muslim life. We also discuss the role of women in institution-building, the emergence of Al Mujadilah Mosque in Qatar, and whether the post-Gaza moment represents the beginning of a new phase of regeneration for the Muslim Ummah.Rather than asking whether decline is inevitable, this conversation asks a more important question: what does Islam teach us about renewal?If you enjoyed this episode, please like, subscribe, and share it with others.

The Eucharist as an Endless Renewal of Grace - Fr. Nick Parker | Ep. 428 by Divine Mercy Radio

Episode Highlight: Connect Powerfully with Your Kids This Week on Flourish-Meant What is the most critical thing you can do as a parent for your children? This week's episode delved deep into the art and science of authentic connection, featuring insights from counselor, play therapist, and author, Tricia Thornton. Key Takeaways from the Episode The conversation focused on the foundational importance of parents connecting first with God and themselves before reaching out to their children. The analogy of "putting your own oxygen mask on first" rang throughout the discussion, emphasizing self-care as the essential starting point. One concept discussed was the impact of emotional safety. Consistency—not perfection—helps children build resilience and confidence, even in the face of hardship. The brain's sense of safety, ignited by authentic parental connection, is the secret to helping kids navigate life's ups and downs. Practical Tools for Parents A key theme that emerged was authenticity in connection. True presence means being with your children—even in moments of fear, frustration, or exhaustion. It isn't about oversharing your struggles, but about modeling healthy emotional management and self-awareness. The discussion explored age-appropriate sharing: Young children mainly need assurance of safety and presence, not all the details. Older children and teens benefit from proactive, honest communication from parents—being their "anchor" when the world feels uncertain. Sprinkling in Self-Care Several points were raised, including practical self-care strategies: Take even a few minutes to ground yourself—deep breaths, positive affirmations, or using your five senses to return to the present moment. Model coping practices aloud: "Let's use our five senses together." Build in moments of silence, even if just in the car or while doing daily tasks, to reset and reconnect with yourself. Tricia Thornton's Seven Principles for Effective Connection From her new book, Beyond Blessed Parenting, Tricia outlines seven principles: Silence, Listening, Acknowledgement, Renewal, Forgiveness, Balance, and Embrace. Silence and listening are the anchors, but embrace—accepting and celebrating your journey, even its hardships—creates lasting transformation for the whole family. Resource Spotlight Want more?

For many, renewing your passport can be a handful at the best of times. For widows who have lost their partners, it can be an extremely difficult process and reminder of what they have lost.Members of Widowed and Bereaved Partners Ireland are calling for changes to be made to the process, in which they should not have to constantly prove that their spouse or partner has passed away every time they have to renew their child's passport.Andrea is joined by some of these members to discuss.

Every human being is entrusted with some level of authority, yet we frequently distort this gift by judging others based on our own feelings and preferences. Until God finally arises to "judge the earth," we are called to judge justly, and Psalm 82 shows us how. In this sermon, we explore what it means to do justice in the world.

Sermon Date: 7-19-2026 Location: City Life Church, Grand Rapids, MI

Even as air quality warnings have been issues as a result of raging fires in the Western USA, we once again find ourselves in the midst of camping season, So, while campgrounds are on our minds, why not think creatively about how to sustain those resources while contributing to environmental justice? As you'll hear in this episode in the Climate Brewing Series that originally aired in July of 2024, there are several things we can do. Join host Susan Oxley, as she sits down with fellow Climate Justice Team member, Joan Thompson, to discuss some of those “doable” things. You may be surprised at how easy some of these ideas are to implement. In a denomination where camping has had a huge impact on communal and spiritual growth... we can't afford to do nothing. Listen to other episodes in the Climate Brewing series. Download the transcript. Thanks for listening to Faith Unfiltered!Follow us on Facebook and Instagram!Intro and Outro music used with permission: “For Everyone Born,” Community of Christ Sings #285.

Why do we feel the need to play small in our lives? What keeps us from sharing our gifts and living in our fullness? It turns out that the nervous system impacts our expression more than we might have realized. We're wired for survival and safety, so stepping outside of the box, even to take a healthy risk, feels deeply dangerous. Knowing this, is there a way to expand oneself while also acknowledging the human need to stay protected? As we wander through the forest, consider your own narrative. Have you chosen to stay hidden? If so, are you ready to emerge into the fullness of who you came here to be? What am I reading?Shadow of Night by Deborah Harkness (Book 2: The All Souls Series)https://bookshop.org/a/111301/9780143123620The Black Bird Oracle Deckhttps://bookshop.org/a/111301/9780593976227The Book of Ritual Baths: A Guide to Spiritual Cleansing and Renewal by Chanda Parkinsonhttps://bookshop.org/a/111301/9780738780139https://bookshop.org/shop/witchywomanwalkingWhat's playing on repeat?Tom's Diner by Suzanne Vega What's for dinner? Black Bean Burgers Ingredients2 cans black beans, drained, rinsed, and patted dry1 Tablespoon extra virgin olive oil3/4 cup finely chopped bell pepper1 cup finely chopped yellow onion 3 garlic cloves, minced 1.5 teaspoons ground cumin1 teaspoon chili powder1/2 teaspoon garlic powder1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika1/2 cup bread crumbs 1/2 cup feta cheese2 large eggs 1 Tablespoon Worcestershire sauce2 Tablespoons ketchup, mayo, orBBQ saucepinch salt + pepperInstructions:Preheat oven to 325°F (163°C).

Fluent Fiction - Hebrew: A Lesson in Renewal: Hope Resurfaces Under Desert Sun Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.com/he/episode/2026-07-16-07-38-19-he Story Transcript:He: השמש זרחה בחוזקה מעל בית החולים בשדה ליד ים המלח.En: The sun shone brightly above the hospital in the field near Yam HaMelach.He: הקיץ היה בעיצומו, והחום היה כמעט בלתי נסבל.En: Summer was in full swing, and the heat was almost unbearable.He: אליאור עמד בצל אוהל גדול, מביט בסצנה לפניהם: צוותי הרופאים והמתנדבים עבדו בתיאום מושלם.En: Elior stood in the shade of a large tent, gazing at the scene before him: the teams of doctors and volunteers worked in perfect coordination.He: הכול נראה משוחרר, מלבד רגשותיו.En: Everything seemed relaxed, except for his emotions.He: אליאור, מתנדב ותיק במרפאה השדה, הרגיש לאחרונה מרוחק מהתחושות שהפכו אותו פעם למלא ברוח חיים ועזרה.En: Elior, a veteran volunteer at the field clinic, recently felt distanced from the feelings that once filled him with the spirit of life and helping others.He: בכל בוקר, כשהיה מגיע למתחם, הסתכל על האוהלים סביבו ותהה אם עדיין הוא עושה שינוי אמיתי.En: Every morning, when he arrived at the compound, he looked at the tents around him and wondered if he was still making a real difference.He: מאיה, לעומתו, לא חשבה לרגע לוותר.En: Maya, on the other hand, never thought for a moment about giving up.He: היא הגיעה לראשונה למקום ללא כל היסוס.En: She arrived at the place for the first time without any hesitation.He: עם עיני התלהבות ונכונות לעשות שינוי, היא רצתה להוכיח לעולם ולעצמה שהיא כאן כדי להצליח.En: With eyes full of enthusiasm and readiness to make a change, she wanted to prove to the world and to herself that she was here to succeed.He: חוויות שעברה בעבר דחפו אותה להגיע ולסייע לאחרים.En: Experiences she had gone through in the past pushed her to come and help others.He: האתגר הגדול הראשון שלה היה להתמודד עם אליאור.En: Her first big challenge was dealing with Elior.He: מרוחק ומרוב עיסוק בעבודתו, הוא לא היה פתוח לשיחה או להיכרות קרובה יותר.En: Detached and caught up with his work, he was not open to conversation or getting to know someone more closely.He: מאיה חיפשה דרכים להתקרב, אך בכל זאת כיבדה את פרטיותו.En: Maya sought ways to get closer, yet still respected his privacy.He: יום אחד, כשצבע השמים הפך מאפור לצהוב בוהק, פרצה מקרה חירום.En: One day, when the color of the sky turned from gray to bright yellow, an emergency arose.He: הם נדרשו לטפל בפצוע קשה מאד מהרישום מתאונת דרכים בדרום הסוער.En: They were required to treat a severely injured person from a car accident in the stormy south.He: פצוע דורש טיפול מיידי, ואילוץ מרפא היה מרובה.En: The injured demanded immediate treatment, and the pressure in the medical tent was high.He: אליאור ומאיה מצאו עצמם נאלצים לעבוד יחד, תוך שהם מתאמצים לפרש זה את זכו של זו בתנועה מן האוטומציה הרפואית.En: Elior and Maya found themselves needing to work together, striving to interpret each other's motions amidst the medical automation.He: זוהי הייתה ההזדמנות של מאיה ללמוד מאליאור, והכניעה של אליאור להעלות את הידע שלו למען הצלת חיים.En: This was Maya's opportunity to learn from Elior, and Elior's surrender to share his knowledge for the sake of saving a life.He: עם התחברותם, הם הצליחו לטפל בפצוע בכישרון עילאי, תואם את רוח המקום.En: With their connection, they managed to treat the injured with exceptional skill, matching the spirit of the place.He: כשהדרמה נרגעה, שני המתנדבים התיישבו בעייפות על ארגזי התרופות.En: When the drama subsided, the two volunteers sat down tiredly on the medicine crates.He: אליאור הביט למאיה בחיוב פתאום.En: Elior looked at Maya approvingly all of a sudden.He: "עכשיו אני נזכר מדוע התחלתי כאן," הוא אמר בשקט.En: "Now I remember why I started here," he said quietly.He: "תודה לך.En: "Thank you."He: "מאיה, נשענת לאחור, חייכה אליו.En: Maya, leaning back, smiled at him.He: "אנחנו צוות טוב, אליאור," היא ענתה, מרגישה את הקשר הנולד בין שניהם.En: "We are a good team, Elior," she replied, feeling the bond forming between them.He: הרתיחה הפנימית של אליאור נרגעה ומצא את האנרגיה שבעבר חשב שאבדה.En: Elior's internal turmoil calmed, and he found the energy he once thought was lost.He: מאיה נעמדה, עתה עם הבטחה חדשה שהשתקפה לנגד עיניה, ביטחון בתפקידה ועוצמה למחצה.En: Maya stood up, now with a new assurance reflected in her eyes, confidence in her role, and renewed strength.He: יחד, הם ידעו שיוכלו להשפיע וליצור שינוי אמיתי בעולם.En: Together, they knew they could make an impact and create a real change in the world.He: החום סביבם היה קשה, אך תחושותיהם היו כעת קודחות בחיוב, כמו השמש החזקה מעל ים המלח.En: The heat around them was harsh, but their feelings were now burning positively, like the strong sun above Yam HaMelach.

Do you ever notice that scrolling never actually leaves you satisfied? Fr Columba unpacks why the infinite scroll is built that way on purpose, always teasing, never filling, and contrasts it with what heaven actually offers: God's full, undistracted attention and a satisfaction that lasts. Hell wants to use you and sell your attention. Heaven wants to give itself to you completely. If you've ever felt stuck in the scroll, this is an invitation to notice it, hit pause, and choose contemplation instead.

Rabbi Avi Havivi's siddur class at Temple Beth Am Los Angeles via Zoom - July 14, 2026.Special Guest: Rabbi Avi Havivi.

A renewal date is not a strategy, it's a deadline. But in many enterprise technology environments, contract expirations, supplier proposals and budget cycles start driving decisions that should be tied to a larger strategic roadmap. When that happens, customers lose leverage, accept unfavorable contract extensions or lock in terms that limit flexibility before they have time to build better options. In this 11-minute episode of Staying Connected, Tony Mangino is joined by TC2's Larry York to discuss how customers can connect renewal calendars to technology strategy, sourcing plans, contract mechanics and operational priorities so they can make decisions with time, facts and credible alternatives.

Our daily lives are full of habits and routines that shape who we are becoming. To say it another way: we are liturgical creatures. Some of our life patterns are good; others aren't. In this sermon, we explore Psalm 81's invitation to build a better life liturgy: one that sings to God, tells His story, and submits to His authority.

Bolivia's Instability and US-Mexico Trade Leverage. Evan Ellis. Bolivia remains on "borrowed time" as Evo Moralesleads blockades from his coca-growing stronghold. Simultaneously, the U.S. uses the USMCA's renewal uncertainty as leverage to ensure Mexico's cooperation on migration and drugs.

Pew Research Center president Michael Dimock has spent years listening to what Americans think — and what they're telling him right now is pretty dark. But buried in the data is something revealing: people are ready for bold democratic reform that the country hasn't seen in decades. He explores how America's founders didn't create a finished system of government but rather launched an ongoing project that requires each generation to renew, adapt and reimagine democracy. The survey says Americans are ready to do the work. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
