Podcasts about renewing

Worship Leader Taylor Cummings explains how recurring thoughts carve grooves in our minds and urges us to renew our thinking with God's truth so we can recognize, capture, and replace negative patterns with what is good, pleasing, and perfect.

About The RenewingThere's a way the world teaches us to live—fast, anxious, disconnected. And there's another way. The Renewing is a podcast about resisting what deforms us and returning to what makes us whole. Inspired by Romans 12:2, it's a space to question the patterns we've inherited—hustle, disconnection, exhaustion—and imagine what healing might look like instead. Through honest conversations and deep listening, host Brent Levy explores the sacred, slow work of renewal—for ourselves, our communities, and the world.This EpisodeWhat happens when the faith you inherited no longer fits, yet something sacred still lingers? In this episode, Brent sits down with writer and creative Lauren Cibene, whose debut book, Tiger in a Lifeboat, explores deconstruction, travel, and the slow, surprising reconstruction that follows. Together, they discuss what it means to witness rather than persuade, how grief and unlearning are essential parts of healing, and why the red letters of Jesus keep drawing Lauren back.You'll hear about the holiness of hospitality, the healing power of presence, and the sacred invitation to trust yourself again. If you're navigating a spiritual shift, tender with your past, or just longing to see God in unexpected places, this conversation is for you.Learn more about Lauren here, check out her Substack here, and find her on Instagram here.

What if Christian colleges—and churches—stopped being driven by fear? In this episode of the Future Christian Podcast, Loren sits down (literally, in person) with sociologist and Substack writer John Hawthorne to talk about his new book The Fearless Christian University. Drawing on nearly four decades in Christian higher education, John outlines why so many institutions have slipped into what Andy Crouch calls "zombie mode"—defined more by inertia than imagination. This conversation moves fluidly between Christian universities and local churches, asking critical questions about sustainability, fear-based culture wars, institutional loyalty, and what it looks like to center the real questions of a rising generation. Together, John and Loren explore: Why Christian institutions often default to fear and control What it means to be a “zombie institution”—and how to wake up How schools and churches can move from protecting tradition to cultivating belonging The importance of legitimizing doubt and centering student (or congregant) questions Whether it's possible to hold onto theological identity without gatekeeping How online church and online education can erode or support community Why belonging may need to come before belief John Hawthorne is a sociologist who spent nearly four decades in Christian higher education. He served as faculty member and academic administrator over the course of his career, spending time in five different Christian universities. He writes a Substack that often deals with issues in Christian higher education and has been regularly interviewed for Christianity Today, Religion News Service, Sojourners, Inside Higher Ed, and the Associated Press. His publications include A First Step into a Much Larger World: The Christian University and Beyond.   Mentioned Resources:

Renewing existing infrastructure rather than investing in new shiny projects is the best way to go, according to a new report co-produced by the Helen Clark Foundation and WSP New Zealand. The foundation claims 99% of the infrastructure New Zealand needs, has already been built. Foundation Deputy Director Kali Mercier says renewals and repairs are much cheaper. She told Mike Hosking one of their recommendations is keeping scorecards so the management and condition of major infrastructure can be tracked. Mercier says that currently, just one of six central government agencies keeps a full asset register, and just two have comprehensive asset management plans in place.

At the end of the national "happening" in Jerusalem, Ezra and Nehemiah have the people sign a covenant committing themselves to Torah and religious observance.What are the implications of this moment?

Who is the Holy Spirit and what does the Bible say about His work today? Can I experience the supply of His sustaining power in my life?This teaching is also available in Jill's book A Little Pot of Oil. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/1141/29

All throughout both the Old and New Testaments, we see a clear pattern of people in Scripture turning to prayer and fasting in times of uncertainty, brokenness, and need. And in those examples, we find that prayer and fasting are not just religious obligations but natural responses to desperation. And we find that moments of crisis can lead to spiritual renewal when approached with humility and dependence on God. And we find that whether you and I are facing the unknown road ahead or the ruins of life, the invitation is to pray and fast, recognizing that our deepest hunger can only be satisfied by God. SPEAKERS: Jay Kim (Saratoga), video (South Hills) Bible Passage(s): Ezra 8:21,23, Nehemiah 1:3-4

Renewing Future Generations | Eric and Julia Pickerill | Westerville Campus | May 18, 2025

Rav Kook's Vision: Halakhah, Secular Knowledge, and the Renewal of Judaism. Those of us who know something about Rabbi Abraham Isaac HaKohen Kook's life and philosophy know about his being stuck outside of the Land of Israel during WWI, being the first Ashkenazi Chief Rabbi of British Mandatory Palestine, and his encouragement of the secular Zionists who turned swamps into vegetation. But not many of us have analyzed the personal notebooks that the Rav left, commonly known as Shemonah Kevatzim (eight collections). Recently, I had the privilege of sitting down with Professor Marc B. Shapiro author of the acclaimed new book, Renewing the Old, Sanctifying the New: The Unique Vision of Rav Kook (Littman Library, 2025). Our conversation ranged from the philosophical underpinnings of Rav Kook's thought to its relevance for modern Orthodoxy and contemporary Jewish life. Using the notebooks and other information Marc B. Shapiro's Renewing the Old, Sanctifying the New offers a window into the philosophical heart of Rav Kook's approach to halakhah and secular knowledge, using Rav Kook's own words to illuminate his radical, yet deeply rooted, vision for modern Judaism. I found it important to use those words and quotes when discussing the topic with Professor Shapiro. Rav Kook's words speak volumes – and you'll hear them throughout the interview.

About The RenewingThere's a way the world teaches us to live—fast, anxious, disconnected. And there's another way. The Renewing is a podcast about resisting what deforms us and returning to what makes us whole. Inspired by Romans 12:2, it's a space to question the patterns we've inherited—hustle, disconnection, exhaustion—and imagine what healing might look like instead. Through honest conversations and deep listening, host Brent Levy explores the sacred, slow work of renewal—for ourselves, our communities, and the world.This EpisodeWhat do you do when the church isn't equipped, the system is overloaded, and the people you love are quietly unraveling? In this episode, Rev. Amanda Rigby and Dr. Elizabeth Watters share how they responded not with resignation—but with action. The result is The Well, a community-rooted space for affordable, accessible mental and spiritual care, housed at Edenton Street United Methodist Church. Born from a late-night conversation and sustained by friendship, The Well offers a model for healing that is slow, relational, justice-minded, and deeply human.You'll hear how burnout became the birthplace of something beautiful, how therapy and spiritual direction can work together, and why care that affirms your belovedness shouldn't be a luxury. If you've ever felt stretched thin, unsure where to turn, or longed for a church that holds your whole self—this episode will help you imagine what's possible.Learn more about The Well here or on Instagram here.The Local ChurchFor more information about The Local Church, visit our website.

When life gets overwhelming—whether it's from busyness, health struggles, or a hard season—it's easy to let your marriage quietly slip to the back burner. In today's episode, we're talking about why putting first things first matters more than ever when you're under pressure. We'll explore the hidden costs of busyness, how to recognize when it's time to say "no" to good things to protect the best things, and why you must be intentional about hearing from God in every season. Plus, we'll share practical steps to help you and your spouse stay connected, even when life feels heavy. If you're feeling stretched thin, stressed out, or spiritually distant, this conversation is for you.  

Now that you've set your focus area, it's time to tackle the root of self-control—your thoughts. The battle begins in your mind, and today, we're diving into 2 Corinthians 10:5, learning how to take every thought captive and make it obedient to Christ.

Are you in favor of people renewing their vows? ...or do you think it's a waste of time?
