Podcasts about ruthless trust

The older I get, the more convinced I am that admittedly flawed sinners are the most credible witnesses of the Gospel, because blemished believers can't fake moral superiority. Our scars make it glaringly apparent that we couldn't protect ourselves from harm. Authentic Christian warriors with scabby knees, bruised hearts, and even track-marked arms, who sometimes stumble yet always grab onto the arm of Holy Spirit in order to stand up again and again, exemplify the redemptive power of divine grace. We prove how miraculous and restorative the love of God really is. We know we can't make it by ourselves and can only keep ourselves together because of the miraculous redemption King Jesus provided for us on the cross. In his book, Ruthless Trust, Brennan Manning wrote, “On the last day, Jesus will look us over not for medals, diplomas, or honors, but for scars.” Today on Back Porch Theology, Alli, Dr. Howard and I are rolling up our sleeves to show you our scars in the hopes they'll help you lean more fully into the embrace of Jesus – the One with the loveliest nail prints in His hands and His feet.

The verse we're considering in this episode appears, at first glance, to be repeating itself, just saying the same thing in different ways. But, when you look closer, considering it more deeply, you begin to uncover layers. "Layers of hope," I'm calling them. Listen in! Read it here! Questions from today's episode: Am I ready to ask God to show me His ways? Am I genuinely ready to be guided in His truth, or am I still trying to hold onto control and do life my way? If I'm still clinging to control, why? What scares me about giving Him control? Have I really made Him my Savior and put my hope in Him? Talk to God about your answers to these questions, and listen to what He might be saying to you today. Ruthless Trust by Brennan Manning Not familiar with Trader Joe's? Here's more info!

55% of Australians say their default tendency is to distrust. When we distrust people, we are more easily pushed into a life of fear and suspicion, which creates a more and more polarised society. The way we as humans attempt to deal with fear and suspicion is with control: Control of timing Control of outcomes Control of other people Control of God These are all forms of idolatry, fuelled by fear. But taking things into our own hands doesn't deliver our destiny, it derails it.

If you've listened to this podcast for a while now, you know that the tone of the show is to share uplifting conversations about life in the South, and today is no exception. Last Monday, March 27,  2023 our city of Nashville faced devastating heartbreak through a school shooting that took the lives of 3 children and 3 adults including the head of the school Katherine Koonce, a dear friend to Lainie for the last 23 years. Today, we wanted to give space for honoring Katherine in a personal way as a hero, friend, and true Steel Magnolia.  Steven Curtis Chapman Interview referenced: https://fb.watch/jFJX30fdTN/ Book referenced: “Ruthless Trust” by Brennan Manning - https://amzn.to/3GbDgIk We hope this episode encourages you to find a mooring (or two!) for your life and to be one to someone else as well.  We need each other!

A religious expert asked Jesus, “What is the most important thing for us to do?” Jesus replied, “Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.” Matthew 22:37 NIV“Worship” is another ancient pathway that people have followed for generations. Worship begins in the heart and finds its voice as we sing, shout, dance, or weep. As a noun, it means “the feeling or expression of reverence and adoration.” As a verb, it means “to show reverence and adoration.”How we worship is secondary. Primary is our heart's response to God's sustained initiative. The only way to miss the point of worship is to attempt to worship without engaging your heart.Typically we think of worship as something we do on Sunday, in a church. Many confuse singing a song with worship. How is that? Well, mindless repetition of words does not necessarily engage the heart. Consider these lyrics from the Matt Redomond song, The Heart of Worship.When the music fadesAll is stripped awayAnd I simply comeLonging just to bringSomething that's of worthThat will bless Your heartI'll bring You more than a songFor a song in itselfIs not what You have requiredYou search much deeper withinThrough the way, things appearYou're looking into my heartI'm coming back to the heart of worshipAnd it's all about You,It's all about You, JesusI'm sorry, Lord, for the thing I've made itWhen it's all about You,It's all about You, JesusWe simply cannot worship with our heads or in a hurry. Slowing helps us worship.=Eugene Peterson, the author of The Message, a personal paraphrase of the Bible, distinguishes three kinds of language in our culture:Level 1 language is information and engages the head.Level 2 language is manipulation or motivation and engages the emotions.Level 3 language engages the heart.The language of the Bible is Level 3 -- it is designed to engage the heart -- and therein is the rub for most of us (myself included) who spend more time in our heads and emotions than we do our heart.To worship is to contemplate the ‘weight', greatness, eminence, power, and authority of God. (1) Quoted by Brennan Manning in Ruthless Trust. That He is both infinite and intimate. Owner of a thousand sheep on a thousand hills; captures each tear of yours in a bottle; aware of each ache, dream, thought and hope in your heart and a billion others. He is able to engage in millions of conversations at the same time without a dropped call."He stretches out the north over empty space and hangs the earth on nothing. He wraps up the waters in His clouds, and the cloud does not burst under them. He obscures the face of the full moon and spreads His cloud over it. He has inscribed a circle on the surface of the waters at the boundary of light and darkness"….Job 26:7-10 NASBYes, God is worthy of our worship.Yet what happens when tragedy strikes?There is an enormous difficulty we crash into when we consider worship. What happens when the tragedy in the form of a stillborn baby, the cold loneliness of a husband denied access to his 87-year-old wife of 60 years as she lies in a cold room at a memory care facility, “how does dare to propose (a heart) of trust in the face of raw, undifferentiated heartache, cosmic disorder, and the terror of history? -- Brennan Manning, Ruthless Trust, Page 39We can do nothing but trust, as did Jesus facing the brutal injustice of His crucifixion when His heart screamed across the universe, “Father, into Your hands I commit my spirit!” Luke 23:46 ESVIntellect fails us. Emotion overwhelms us. It is our heart with which we trust. Jesus alone is the hope which is the anchor for our soul.Worship transforms us to progressively become more like Jesus. God is not insecure; He has no need for us to tell Him how great He is. Worship, whether corporate or alone, is meant to usher us into God's presence. There, as we are overwhelmed with His beauty and majesty, we are changed.----------------------------------------------------PrayI'm like the guy who wrote the lyrics God -- I want to return to the heart of worship. Help me sit still long enough to begin to capture a glimpse of Your glory. Amen Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

The book of Habakkuk ends with one of the most beautiful descriptions of faith and faithfulness in the entire Bible. Habakkuk 3:17-19 says: Though the fig tree does not bud     and there are no grapes on the vines, though the olive crop fails     and the fields produce no food, though there are no sheep in the pen     and no cattle in the stalls, yet I will rejoice in the Lord,     I will be joyful in God my Savior. The Sovereign Lord is my strength;     he makes my feet like the feet of a deer,     he enables me to tread on the heights. In this episode, we explore this beautiful text in the context of all of ch. 3 (and all of Habakkuk) learning what it takes to trust God continuously ... even when His actions don't make sense to us.  [THIS WEEK] - Pastors and Church Leaders - Free Workshop on 5 Shifts for Becoming a Disciple Making Church: discipleshipworkshop.net   Support this ministry: Set up a one-time or monthly donation at the link below. http://worldfamilymissions.org/john-whittaker/   The Listener’s Commentary - In-depth teaching through books of the Bible to help you learn the Bible for yourself:  https://www.listenerscommentary.com   Here are some ways to connect with me: ▶️Social Media-I would love to connect with you on facebook and instagram ▶️Email - john@johnwhittaker.net As always, if you appreciate this teaching leave a review and share freely - on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, via email.

Ruthless trust in the cross … counts, knows, lets.

Show NotesQuotes“What I didn't expect about The Enneagram is that it taught me about the character of God. I've learned that God is a gracious kind father who has created beautiful masterpieces in each one of us. People are so different, they're so beautiful, they are a wonder. And the more intricate I see myself, the more intricate I see God...when we have an incorrect view of self, we have an incorrect view of God. But God, He delights in us. I haven't always seen that.” - Lindsay“What does God think about, when He thinks about you?” - Francis Chan“I think that moment marked the beginning of stripping God of His humanity that I had assigned him. He doesn't think of me with the mind of my Inner Critic and He's not hoping I get it together while I trip over myself every second of the day.” - Lindsay“In a trial, James writes, ask for wisdom- not answers.”Discussion questionsWhat does God think about, when He thinks about you? What do you think about, when you think about God?Where in your life do you need wisdom? Have you ever asked for answers and not wisdom?Links/Mentions:-Fact Check: The creator of the GIF recently came forward and said he intended for it to be pronounced “jif”...but he also confirmed that the “G” in GIF stands for graphic, so while both “jif” and “gif” pronunciations are accepted, a hard G makes the most sense to me.-We called The Enneagram the “latest craze” but want to note that it is, in fact, a very ANCIENT tool. Some experts say it can be traced to Pythagoras but the more modern version was made popular in the 1960s. There is SO much information out there about The Enneagram, but here are some trusted teachers to get you started!:-The Wisdom of the Enneagram is a good introductory book which includes a basic test,-Sacred Enneagram is our collective favorite book.-Beth at Your Enneagram Coach has Gospel-based application, coaching and a free test.-Seth at Integrated Enneagram does deeper level teachings-Ruthless Trust by Brennan Manning-The story of Mother Teresa and John Kavanaugh as told by Brennan Manning in his book Ruthless Trust:“When the brilliant ethicist John Kavanaugh went to work for three months at ‘the house of the dying' in Calcutta, he was seeking a clear answer as to how best to spend the rest of his life. On the first morning there he met Mother Teresa. She asked, ‘And what can I do for you?' Kavanaugh asked her to pray for him.‘What do you want me to pray for?' she asked. He voiced the request that he had borne thousands of miles from the United States: ‘Pray that I have clarity.'She said firmly, ‘No, I will not do that.' When he asked her why, she said, ‘Clarity is the last thing you are clinging to and must let go of.' When Kavanaugh commented that she always seemed to have the clarity he longed for, she laughed and said, ‘I have never had clarity; what I have always had is trust. So I will pray that you trust God.'”@thepausepodcast@marikoclark@lindscretia

Brennen Manning wrote a book some years ago called, Ruthless Trust. He says it all started when he was muddling along and talking to his spiritual director. After listening to Brennan's thoughts on why he was not growing in grace and becoming more like Jesus, his spiritual director told him, “Brennan, you don't need more insights into the faith, you've got enough insights to last you three hundred years. The most urgent need in your life is to trust what you have received.” He goes on to say this: “I can state unequivocally that childlike surrender in trust is the defining spirit of authentic discipleship. And I would add that the supreme need in most of our lives is often the most overlooked—namely, the need for an uncompromising trust in the love of God.”Wise words, and words that come across loud and clear in Psalm 125. This psalm is about Enduring Trust. Trust in what God has done for us. It is a realistic psalm for those of us who are disciples of Jesus. It is incredibly honest about our proneness to doubt and to be anxious and paralyzed by fear at the circumstances of life in a fallen world, where evil is always lurking. We need that honesty, “The confident, robust faith that we desire and think is our destiny is qualified by recurrent insecurities. Singing Psalm 125 is one way Christians have to develop confidence and banish insecurity. The psalm makes its mark not by naively whistling when life is dark, but by honestly facing the typical insecurities that beset us and putting them in their place.” (Eugene Peterson, A Long Obedience in the Same Direction)Easier said than done! This Sunday we will ponder what it means to trust God, when our trust is continually threatened by the insecurities of the world. I confess, I have emotionally been taken over the hurdles this week as I ponder my own fears and doubts. So I hope to see you Sunday as we take an honest look at how we can trust God, even when things seem to be falling apart.

Jennifer is the homeschooling mother of seven in the foothills of California. She is the founder of The Peaceful Press, a company that is dedicated to creating wholehearted homeschooling curriculum and a podcast host for Wild + Free. She talks about the development of being able to have conversations with her older children and emotionally investing rather than feeling so physically drained in the years of early parenting. She talks about the diminished need for "mommy friends" as her children have slowly become some of her best friends. She talks about finding the time to get her alone, rejuvenating time in bits and pieces rather than the bulk of nap time or after kids go to bed. She loves to read or listen to a podcast to recharge herself. Jennifer has always felt drawn to motherhood. She had her abilities feel challenged when one of her children had a personal crisis and Jennifer took the responsibility upon herself for her child's trials. She had her awakening moment about her lack of total control of motherhood which opened the door to a greater joy as she was able to let go of her desire to control the results of her parenting efforts. She recognized the relief that comes from building relationships with the children and watching them work through problems on their own while not being solely focused on the outcomes. She talks about the importance of grieving a reality that isn't going to be or missed expectations and then welcoming in the unconditional love of God to help take the pressure off Jennifer's parenting. Jennifer talks about the grieving process helping herself to stay soft and not become a sharp or tough type of mother. She discusses realizing she did not need to perform for love, but she was loved no matter what. She was then able to extend that love to her children along their own growth journey. Jennifer covers how the scriptures and the book Ruthless Trust by Brennan Manning ingrained in her the feeling of love unattached from performance. Jennifer talks about realistic expectations for our children. To recognize that they are, in fact, children. She addresses the need to find  balance between offering our children grace and still maintaining solid leadership with reasonable expectations in our homes. Jennifer talks about rejecting fear and making sure you have a vision in your family and basing your decisions on that vision. She explains that make decisions or signing up for activities that do not align with our vision are a huge factor in misplaced expectations and anxiety levels growing in the home, which lead to behavioral issues with our children. She emphasizes taking time to slow down and just be at home and observe the feeling and interactions as a way to reset your own expectations for motherhood. She explains how margin plays a big role in her life. Intentional margins in finances and time help her focus her efforts and keep everyone on track. She references Gordon Neufeld's Hold on to Your Kids. Jennifer talks about the importance of taking time to forgive others around you and creating your vision for your life. Jennifer recounts her family's adventure in finding their focus on a family car trip and encourages others to find the skills and things that bring them joy to follow as a guide rather than jumping on every bandwagon that passes through to help bring the variety and color to the world around us. She talks about how her family's vision has morphed and changed as her children have grown older and developed their own interests and passions. She talks about mastering the ability to understand the need of God in her life and the guidance from God in all her decisions. Jennifer also discusses the balance between being present with your kids and maintaining the household. She talks about helping instill in them the life skills they'll need to be functioning adults.

On this Palm Sunday, we consider the practice Jesus taught us- complete, ruthless trust of God. www.thevineaustin.org Discussion Questions: • What was a take-away or a question from the sermon? • Respond to the notion that Mark shared- trust is the foundation of our spiritual life with God. Agree or disagree? • Read Luke 19:28-44. The same crowds that praised Jesus would within days turn against Him. What does that teach us about the human condition? • How is the cross of Christ a symbol of trust for Jesus? How is it a symbol of trust for us? • Read and discuss the meaning of Romans 15:13 to this conversation on trust. • Finally, share how God is calling you to grow in trust and pray for one another.

Pastor Brad talks about how to cultivate a deeper trust in Christ.

Few things have been as impactful in our lives and marriage as our family vision.

Director/actor/writer David Leo Schultz is our first repeat guest on the PCR podcast. This time he is talking about his new film Brennan, which is an intimate character study of the author and speaker Brennan Manning (The Ragamuffin Gospel, Ruthless Trust). We get into the frustrations of making films that are not 100% family friendly with American Christian culture, the difficulties of portraying someone as enigmatic as Brennan Manning, and how we are all pretty messed up and desperately in need of God's grace. For more info on Brennan, including show times and places, visit their website: http://www.brennanmanningmovie.com/

Radical and Ruthless Trust - Yvette Willis

This sermon is inspired by the book "Ruthless Trust" by Brennan Manning.  In this sermon I propose that the primary response to His love and grace that God desires from us is trust--daily trusting God for everything.
