Do you find yourself falling into the same sins again, despite your sincere efforts to change? In this episode, Fr Columba reflects on why willpower alone is often not enough to overcome habitual sin, and how spiritual dryness can quietly weaken the soul. Drawing on the Church's wisdom, he explains how God gives consolation not as a reward, but as a remedy to strengthen us where we are wounded. Whether you feel stuck, discouraged, or tired of beginning again, start where you are — receive the grace God offers — and let Him do the rest.

Many business owners believe staying busy in the day-to-day is the best way to grow their company. But when all your time is spent working in the business, strategic thinking and renewal are often the first things to disappear, quietly limiting long-term growth and value.In this episode, Matt Di Francesco breaks down the three types of time every owner must intentionally manage: tactical time, strategic time, and renewal time. Through personal experiences and real-world success stories, Matt shows how creating space for renewal allows leaders to think bigger, innovate, and build a business that works without depending on them every day.Matt also talks about:(01:04) Why most owners spend too much time putting out fires(03:37) How stepping away helps your mind solve business problems(04:44) Why bigger businesses need more time to reset and think(06:44) How taking a break helps you think bigger and grow faster(08:25) Why a business that runs without you means real ownershipConnect With Matt DiFrancesco:matt@highliftfin.com(814)201-5855LinkedIn: Matt DiFrancescoLinkedIn: High Lift FinancialFacebook: High Lift Financial Instagram: @high_lift_financialYouTube: @highliftfinancialDisclaimer:All information is obtained from sources deemed reliable, but not guaranteed.

God's Word as the Calibration Standard Psalm 119:105, Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path. Life must be aligned to God's Word to avoid drift, error, or distortion. 2 Corinthians 13:5, Examine yourselves as to whether you are in the faith. Test yourselves. We don't need to make assumptions or just operate on our feelings. The Bible gives us objective standards. Renewal of the Mind is like a Recalibration Romans 12:2, Be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God. The world introduces bias and noise; the mind must be recalibrated so perception and decision-making reflect God's will. Correction and Course Adjustment Proverbs 3:5–6, Trust in the Lord with all your heart… He shall direct your paths.” Serving 1 John 3:16–18, Let us not love in word or in tongue, but in deed and in truth.

What does real renewal in the Church actually look like—and why do so many parishes struggle to move from maintenance to mission?In this episode of The Catholic Couple Podcast, we sit down with our good friend Ron Huntley, a seasoned Catholic leadership coach who works with dozens of dioceses and countless priests across the country. Ron has spent years helping Church leaders build healthy cultures, authentic discipleship, and truly evangelizing parishes—and his work is rooted in one clear mission: bringing the Great Commission (Matthew 28) to life.We dive deep into Ron's new book, Road to Renewal, which features 14 total chapters—12 written by priests and Church leaders who candidly share their struggles, breakthroughs, failures, and victories, and 2 written by Ron himself, offering wisdom and clarity from decades of walking alongside parish leadership. Together, these chapters paint an honest picture of what it really takes to move a parish from maintenance to mission. Checkout Ron's website, Huntley Leadership for a lot of free resources and his links to podcast and youtube episodes. In this conversation, we discuss:Why so many parishes are stuck in “maintenance mode”What renewal actually requires from priests and parish leadersThe common obstacles that prevent authentic discipleshipHow relationships—not programs—fuel evangelizationWhat the Church can learn from leaders who are courageously trying something newHow moving toward mission brings life back into parishesWhether you're a priest, parish leader, ministry volunteer, or a Catholic who longs to see the Church fully alive, this episode will challenge, encourage, and equip you to think differently about renewal—and your role in it.

In episode 444 of Friends Talking Nerdy, The Reverend Tracy and Tim The Nerd return to their ongoing monthly theme of Renewal with a focused and thoughtful discussion on Renewal Through Deletion. This episode explores the often uncomfortable but necessary idea that growth sometimes comes not from adding more to our lives, but from intentionally removing what no longer serves us.The conversation looks at real-world examples of deletion as a form of renewal, such as leaving a job that has become draining or misaligned with your values, or ending a relationship that has run its course. The Reverend Tracy and Tim The Nerd discuss why these decisions are so difficult to make, even when we intellectually know they may be the healthiest option, and how fear, habit, and sunk-cost thinking can keep us stuck longer than we should be.The episode also dives into the idea of deleting internal patterns, particularly bad habits and routines that quietly undermine personal well-being. Whether it's destructive self-talk, unhealthy coping mechanisms, or time-wasting behaviors that crowd out more meaningful pursuits, the hosts examine how removing these habits can create space for clarity, energy, and personal renewal.Throughout the discussion, The Reverend Tracy and Tim The Nerd balance practical insight with empathy, acknowledging that deletion is rarely clean or painless—but often transformative. Episode 444 encourages listeners to rethink renewal not as reinvention from scratch, but as a deliberate process of letting go so something better can take its place.As always, we wish to thank Christopher Lazarek for his wonderful theme song.

Renewal with Christ - Ep. 338Linda Hutchinson and co-host Kimmmm Hackworth discuss spiritual renewal as the new year begins.The Theme of RenewalLinda and Kimm aim to guide listeners in enhancing their relationships with God and setting an intentional rhythm for their spiritual lives. They emphasize that spiritual renewal can take various forms, often requiring intentionality and the need to create space away from the distractions of everyday life. The discussion begins by referencing Romans 12:2, warning against conforming to the world's patterns and instead focusing on transformation through the renewing of the mind.Spiritual DisciplinesThe hosts dive into spiritual disciplines, a concept introduced by Richard Foster, which includes practices meant to foster a deeper relationship with God. They clarify that these disciplines are not burdensome tasks but are meant to cultivate intimacy with God. They discuss various inward disciplines such as:         1.            Study and Meditation - Engaging with the Word of God for revelation, not mere          knowledge.2.Prayer - Cultivating an interactive relationship with God.3.Fasting - Withholding from certain things to reveal dependencies and deepen reliance on God.Kimm shares her preference for inward disciplines and how those help in personal reflection, while Linda emphasizes the importance of balance between inward and outward disciplines.Outward and Corporate DisciplinesThe conversation then shifts to outward disciplines, which are about changing behavior to align with spiritual truths. Some key practices mentioned include:•Simplicity - Reducing material possessions to focus on spiritual values.•Silence and Solitude - Taking time to be alone with God.•Sabbath Rest - Intentionally resting and trusting in God's provision.•Service - Helping others as a form of worship and humility.They also discuss corporate disciplines that involve community, such as worship, confession, and accountability, emphasizing the importance of being connected with others in faith.Family Dynamics and LegacyLinda and Kimm reflect on how spiritual practices at home influence children. They recount personal stories from their own families, illustrating how their children observed and internalized these spiritual rhythms. They stress the importance of modeling faith and creating intentional spaces for spiritual growth within families, reminding listeners that children are always watching and learning from their parents' actions.Final EncouragementLinda encourages listeners to choose one spiritual discipline to focus on for the next 30 days, urging them to reflect on what they can remove or add to their lives to experience renewal. They conclude by thanking their sponsors again and reinforcing the mission of RockSolid Families to help strengthen families in the community.ConclusionThe podcast delivers a thoughtful discussion on spiritual renewal, emphasizing intentionality, the significance of community, and leaving a legacy of faith for future generations. It invites listeners to embark on their journey of spiritual growth as the new year begins.rocksolidfamilies.orgSupport the show#Rocksolidfamilies, #familytherapy, #marriagecounseling, #parenting, #faithbasedcounseling, #counseling, #Strongdads, #coaching, #lifecoach, #lifecoaching, #marriagecoaching, #marriageandfamily, #control, #security, #respect, #affection, #love, #purpose, #faith, #affairs, #infidelity

Send us a messageOne hundred episodes. It represents a journey that didn't always feel clear or easy, but one that continued anyway. If you've been listening for a long time, thank you for being here. And if this is your first episode, I'm really glad you found your way in today. I am not one that really sets resolutions, but instead I choose a word for the year - a word that becomes my focus for literally everything - that guides my thinking, my actions, and any changes I seek to make. For 2026, that word is RENEWAL. Showing up consistently - in our work, our relationships, our faith - can slowly wear us down in ways we don't always notice until we're tired. And worn things don't need to be replaced - they need to be renewed.  So as we celebrate 100 episodes, know that today isn't about wrapping things up or putting a bow on the past. It's about naming where we've been, acknowledging what this journey has required, and opening ourselves to what God wants to restore in us next. Episode 100 is an invitation. And it's where this next journey of Q on Queue begins.

Kingdom-Centered Prayer | Chris McGarvey

The new year is upon us, and most people associate the turning of the calendar page with CHANGE. Whether it's losing a little weight, reading their Bibles more, or being more present with their families, the world looks to the calendar as the starting point for change. But what if change came a different way? What if outer changes were unrelated to our calendars, and came exclusively because of our inner transformation? Today, Pastor Sam Cabra announces the 2026 word of the year for Reunion, "Renewing the Mind." Renewal often comes in seasons, and knowing which season we are in is critically important. Expecting the right thing in the wrong season leads to bitterness, disappointment, and pain. But as we walk in step with God, He continually reveals the times and seasons we are currently in. By faith in the power of agreement, we step into the season of Renewing our Minds in 2026.Thank you for partnering with Reunion Hawaii! To GIVE online, please visit our website at www.reunionhawaii.comMake sure to LIKE and SUBSCRIBE to this podcast!You can follow us on Instagram: www.instagram.com/reunionhawaii@reunionhawaii

Our past hurts can create problems in our future if they are left unresolved. God desires for us to leave those hurts behind and walk in a new direction. In Week 3 of our Renewal sermon series, we reflect on how God calls us toward healing in our relationships and invites us to move forward in obedience and trust. We pray this message challenges you to leave your pain in the past and walk toward the blessings God has ahead.

What you need in your life is not less authority, but good authority.We live in an age that's deeply suspicious of authority. Yet every human being lives under authority of some kind; whether it's our own desires, cultural pressures, or destructive forces beyond our control. In this sermon, we explore the truth that what we need is not less authority in our lives, but good authority — and Jesus is the King whose authority brings peace, not oppression.

In week 3 of "Cheat Code," Pastor Ryan unpacks Romans 12:2 and reveals why we keep doing things we don't want to do anymore. Using the restoration process of refinishing furniture, this teaching shows the three-step process of renewing your mind and finally breaking the cycle. If we think the way we used to think, we'll do the things we used to do. Renewal without removal never lasts.

As you age, your thymus produces fewer newly formed cells responsible for responding to unfamiliar pathogens, reducing your immune system's adaptability. This shift, combined with persistent inflammation, defines the core features of immune aging Urolithin A, a postbiotic compound, stimulates mitochondrial renewal in aging immune cells. A recent study shows it can increase naïve-like T cells and strengthen immune surveillance in just four weeks of supplementation Clinical findings show that urolithin A boosts mitochondrial renewal pathways, increases markers linked to mitochondrial biogenesis, and improves immune cell metabolism Beyond immune health, studies reveal that urolithin A influences cancer pathways, enhances muscle strength and endurance, improves fatty liver markers, and reshapes metabolic signaling involved in obesity and insulin resistance Beyond using urolithin A, you can also support your mitochondria by lowering linoleic acid intake, eating the right carbohydrates, limiting environmental toxins, and supporting NAD⁺ production with niacinamide

In this Prayer Podcast episode, Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe begins an in-depth exploration of Baruch She'amar—the opening blessing of Pesukei Dezimra (verses of praise)—noting it may take one or two classes to cover fully. He explains the prayer's structure: an introductory section of 10 praises (corresponding to the 10 utterances of creation and 10 Commandments) followed by the actual blessing, with a total of 13 mentions of "Baruch" (representing Hashem's 13 Attributes of Mercy) and 87 words (numerical value of "paz" = finest gold, and acronym for Pesukei Dezimra).The rabbi highlights key practices: reciting Baruch She'amar standing, with song, while men hold the two front tzitzit strings (symbolizing 26 = YKVK); the prayer's origin (likely Men of the Great Assembly, with a heavenly revelation of exact wording); and its deeper meaning—praising Hashem who spoke the world into existence (yesh me'ayin), renews creation constantly (present tense verbs), decrees and fulfills, has compassion on all creatures, rewards the righteous eternally, redeems and rescues, and whose Name is blessed despite His hidden form.Hashem's actions are visible everywhere (modern miracles prove His presence), yet He remains concealed—Baruch She'amar reminds us to see the divine hand in all creation and live with constant gratitude and awe. The episode connects beautifully to the weekly parsha (Va'era), emphasizing Hashem's control and redemption._____________This Podcast Series is Generously Underwritten by Dr. Leonard & June GoldbergDownload the Prayer Podcast Worksheets:https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1iBVevW1ydyjSeyeO0iCcina7e8vix3Lt?usp=sharingThis episode (Ep. #44) of the Prayer Podcast by Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe of TORCH is dedicated to my dearest friends, Dr. Leonard & June Goldberg!

Most of us long to feel like ourselves again, to be restored to a life marked by clarity, purpose, and spiritual strength. In today's message, Ricky shows how the Psalms guide us toward a renewed humanity, shaped by God's presence and truth. He highlights the practices that reorient our inner life and help us live with a grounded identity, rather than being driven by emotion, pressure, or distraction. Renewal begins with learning how to return to who God designed us to be.

Listening isn't just a communication skill - it's a leadership practice.In this episode of Strength in Numbers, we explore The Rhythm of Listening, part of the Quiet Strength: 12 Rhythms for Rest, Reflection, and Renewal series.

Do you feel spiritually tired or burned out, even though your desire to follow God is sincere? In this episode, Fr Columba reflects on a simple lesson learned through running and how it reveals a common trap in the spiritual life: going faster than the grace God is giving. Through the image of pace, he shows how enthusiasm — whether after a retreat, at the start of a new season, or with good intentions — can sometimes lead us to sprint ahead of the Lord and exhaust ourselves. This reflection invites us to slow down, discern the pace God is asking of us, and rediscover a steady, humble way of growing in faith.

Mindy and Nathan Heimer share how a passion for paddle boarding, their love for God, and deep care for their community have come together to form a beautiful ecosystem—one where God's mission is growing and their business is blossoming.In this episode, we explore what it looks like when vocation, faith, and everyday life intersect, and how paying attention to what you already love can open unexpected doors for mission.

DescriptionDavid Diener, Assistant Professor of Education at Hillsdale College and president of The Alcuin Fellowship, joins Christopher Perrin to reflect on how a philosopher's training can become a vocational doorway into the renewal of classical education. Drawing from years in K–12 school leadership and now higher education, Diener describes why classical schools often foster unusually rich intellectual community—and why that matters in an age of academic fragmentation. He also introduces Hillsdale's Master of Arts in Classical Education (MACE), a program designed to address one of the movement's biggest bottlenecks: forming well-equipped teachers and administrators. The conversation highlights how enduring philosophical anchors—from Plato and Aristotle to Aquinas—can be translated into concrete classroom practice. Diener then traces the role of The Alcuin Fellowship in deepening the movement's historical and theoretical grounding, including its influence on The Liberal Arts Tradition. Finally, they look outward to the global growth of classical Christian education, including partnerships and training initiatives in Africa, such as the Rafiki Foundation, and expanding work across Latin America. David Diener has a forthcoming monograph in Spanish that will provide chapter-length essays on various aspects of classical Christian education. Additionally, he has an upcoming course on ClassicalU.com will release in the spring of 2026.Episode OutlineFrom philosophy to teaching: Diener's academic formation, early teaching experience abroad, and why education became his focusWhy classical schools attract scholars: the “faculty-of-friends” culture and how it can outpace typical undergraduate settingsHillsdale's MACE program: structure, distinctives, and the need for teacher formation at scaleThe Alcuin Fellowship: purpose, retreats, the “scholar-practitioner” model, and the ecosystem role it playsPublications and intellectual consolidation: how collaborative work helped birth The Liberal Arts Tradition by Kevin Clark, DLS, and Ravi Jain Global and Latin American growth: partnerships, conferences, and emerging networks across continentsKey Topics & TakeawaysFormation Through Practices: What we repeatedly do shapes what we love.Classical Schools as Intellectual Communities: Classical faculties often cultivate cross-disciplinary conversation and shared learning in ways that counter modern academic siloing.Theory-to-Practice Formation: Strong programs don't leave philosophy abstract—they press big ideas into classroom realities and school leadership decisions.The Teacher-Leader Pipeline is the Bottleneck: Sustainable growth depends on forming more capable teachers and administrators, not merely opening more schools.Why MACE is Built the Way it is: A shared core creates common language and vision; later specialization prepares teachers and leaders for distinct roles.Fellowship as Infrastructure for Renewal: The Alcuin Fellowship functions as a hub for scholar-practitioners who think deeply and serve schools faithfully.From Local Renewal to Global Opportunity: The movement's growth is increasingly international, with meaningful work underway in Africa and expanding initiatives in Latin America.Questions & DiscussionWhat kind of “fragmentation” have you experienced in education (or your own formation)?What practices have helped you move toward integration?Why might a classical school faculty create stronger intellectual friendship than many modern institutions?Compare your current context to a “lunch-table culture” where teachers learn together across disciplines. What would it take to cultivate that kind of shared learning where you are?What is the role of a fellowship (formal or informal) in renewing an educational tradition?Identify one fellowship function you most need: reading, conversation, research, mentoring, or mutual sharpening. What could be your next practical step to build that community?How should the classical renewal relate to other organizations and conferences in the movement?What do you hope conferences and associations provide beyond inspiration (formation, scholarship, standards, support)? How can leaders prevent “event energy” from replacing sustained local practice?What opportunities—and challenges—come with global growth of classical Christian education?Discuss the difference between exporting a model and serving a local culture with deep roots. What do “curriculum accessibility” and “teacher training resources” mean in practical terms?Suggested Reading & ResourcesThe Liberal Arts Tradition by Kevin Clark, DLS, and Ravi JainThe Liberal Arts Tradition (Audiobook) by Kevin Clark, DLS, and Ravi JainRafiki FoundationThe Rafiki Foundation PodcastAssociation of Classical Christian Schools (ACCS)Society for Classical Learning (SCL)Hillsdale CollegeHillsdale AcademyThe Alcuin FellowshipDr. Christopher Perrin on Substack

From Ruins to Renewal | Rebuilding the Altar and Temple Foundations - Jim Buchan by MCC

In this THINQ talk, A Brief History of Renewal, we step back to see how renewal has surfaced again and again during moments of tension, fatigue, and longing within the church. By tracing patterns from the early church to modern awakenings, the talk reveals that renewal rarely looks the same, but often begins with humility, honesty, and a return to first loves. Rather than chasing the next movement, this conversation invites thoughtful discernment—paying attention to how God is already at work and considering what faithfulness looks like in our time.

Our thoughts are the breeding ground for both sin and righteousness. What takes root in the mind eventually shapes the direction of our lives. In Week 2 of our Renewal series, we explore the power of God's Word to transform our thinking and renew our minds, leading to a changed life. This teaching focuses on how Scripture speaks to our thoughts, how biblical truth reshapes our perspective, and how a renewed mind leads to renewed actions.

Episode 443 of Friends Talking Nerdy keeps the Renewal Theme rolling as Professor Aubrey and Tim The Nerd dive headfirst into Media Refresh Cycles—the strange, fascinating, and sometimes messy ways our favorite creative works evolve over time.This week, they explore how artistic projects like books, movies, television shows, music, and visual art are rarely static. Styles shift. Audiences change. Cultural contexts mutate like sci-fi viruses. What once felt groundbreaking can become dated, while forgotten ideas suddenly feel brand new again. Professor Aubrey and Tim The Nerd break down why creators feel the pull to refresh their work, whether through reboots, remasters, reinterpretations, or full-on reinventions—and why audiences can react with either excitement or pitchforks.The conversation also turns toward modern tools, especially AI, and how they're starting to influence media refresh cycles. They discuss how AI can be used as a creative assistant to spark new ideas, restore or reimagine older works, and lower barriers to artistic experimentation. But, because this is Friends Talking Nerdy, they don't stop at the shiny possibilities. Ethical questions take center stage: authorship, originality, consent, labor, and where the line lives between inspiration and exploitation when machines enter the creative process.As always, the episode balances curiosity with skepticism, optimism with caution, and a healthy appreciation for how weird and human creativity really is—even when algorithms get involved.Songs of the Week perfectly echo the theme of reinvention and momentum:Pink Pony Club by Chappell RoanThe Time Is Now by John CenaRenewal isn't just about starting over—it's about understanding what's worth carrying forward, what needs updating, and what might be better left as a time capsule. Episode 443 digs into all of it with humor, insight, and just enough nerdy overthinking to make it fun.As always, we wish to thank Christopher Lazarek for his wonderful theme song.
