Podcasts about Sacrifice

Series: N/AService: Wed Bible StudyType: InvitationSpeaker: Parker Twilley

Pediatrician and certified coach Jessie Mahoney discusses her article, "What if we stopped sacrificing ourselves to practice medicine?" She explores the pervasive culture of martyrdom and self-sacrifice within the medical field that often leads to physician burnout and a deep yearning for greater peace and purpose. Jessie shares her insights from coaching hundreds of physicians, emphasizing that the issue is not a lack of resilience but a system that discourages well-being. The conversation covers her "7 Cs of transformative change"—Courage, Creativity, Calm, Compassion, Capacity, Commitment, and Community—as a framework for physicians to reimagine their careers and lives. Jessie also recounts her personal journey from feeling depleted to creating impactful wellness initiatives, including retreats and coaching, to help fellow physicians reclaim joy, meaning, and alignment. The key takeaway is: Physicians deserve to prioritize their own well-being, and by embracing self-compassion and intentional change, they can move from a state of sacrifice to one of sustainable purpose and fulfillment, ultimately benefiting both themselves and their patients.

Every single man listening to this is familiar with discipline and has applied it (to varying degrees) in his life. We generally think of discipline as an overall good thing (and, I think it is) but it can often lead to bouts of frustration and unnecessary suffering if utilized incorrectly. My guest today, Craig Ballantyne, makes the case that discipline, although, a powerful force for productivity comes with strings attached, and isn't the end-all, save-all it's often made out to be. Today, we talk about what true discipline is not, why chasing the wrong target is so common and what to do about it, what I call the “self-help hangover” and how to avoid it, why you should know the distinction between standards and expectations, and how to avoid what Craig calls, “The Doom Loop” in your life.

Yesterday, many of us gathered with loved ones to honor the brave men and women who selflessly served our nation and made the ultimate sacrifice to protect our freedoms. As Memorial Day passes, Trey reflects on a simple, yet gripping question: Is our country living up to the ideals and vision of those who died defending it? Trey shares why he believes the most meaningful way to honor America's fallen heroes is by striving to ensure the answer to that question is "yes" — because each of us has a role to play in strengthening and unifying the nation.

Profit First for Lawyers and You with Rjon Robins   Unlocking Profits for Lawyers: RJon Robins on Escaping the Trap of Traditional Accounting Are you unknowingly flying blind in your business? If your accountant is giving you a rearview mirror of what already happened, instead of a roadmap to where you're going, you may be sabotaging your profits—and not even know it. In this high-impact episode of The Profit Answer Man, we sit down with legendary entrepreneur, attorney, and author RJon Robins to blow the lid off common financial myths that are keeping small law firm owners broke, overworked, and stuck. If you're running a law firm—or any service-based business—this is the financial intervention you didn't know you needed.   In This Episode, You'll Learn: The shocking truth about why your accountant may be hurting your business. The difference between a financial accountant and a management accountant—and which one you actually need. Why Profit First is more than a book—it's a strategic doctrine of freedom. How to build businesses that are instantly profitable—and run without you. The mindset shift from sacrifice to profit (and why this matters more than your marketing plan).   Key Takeaways: Not All Accountants Are Created Equal: RJon breaks down why most small business owners rely on the wrong type of accountant and what that costs them in clarity and cash flow. Rearview vs. Roadmap: Traditional CPAs are historians. What you need is a strategic partner who helps you see ahead and build profit into your future.   Law Firm? No Excuses: If RJon can help lawyers (the ultimate billable-hour addicts) become profitable business owners, the rest of us have no excuse. Doctrine of Profit: RJon's core philosophy turns the typical entrepreneurial suffering narrative on its head. You don't need to burn out to be successful. Only 90 Days a Year: RJon now works in his main business just 90 days a year. He spends the rest of his time launching ventures that are immediately profitable. That's not luck—it's strategy.   About RJon Robins: RJon Robins is the 8-figure founder of How to Manage a Small Law Firm, author of Profit First for Lawyers, and a serial entrepreneur who has grown his business by 8,000% since starting from his kitchen table. A licensed attorney who speaks to thousands of law firm owners every year, he's built a business that runs largely without him—and now teaches others how to do the same. His latest book, Profit First for Lawyers, is a #1 Amazon bestseller, helping professionals stop sacrificing and start profiting.   Conclusion: Are You Stuck in the Doctrine of Sacrifice? If you're still treating profit like a leftover instead of a priority, it's time to flip the script. RJon and Rocky expose the lie behind the “work harder” trap and deliver the truth: profit is a choice, not a mystery.   Links: https://rjonrobins.com/ https://www.facebook.com/rjonrobins2/ https://www.instagram.com/rjonrobins/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y%3D https://www.linkedin.com/404/ https://www.youtube.com/user/RJONROBINS?app=desktop     Watch the full episode on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@profitanswerman Sign up to be notified when the next cohort of the Profit First Experience Course is available!

We've been quiet the last few weeks, and are working on something special for all of you. While we devote time to generating some new content, we are doing a REWIND of our "Mother MAY I" series from May 2022. The original show notes are below. Hang with us while we cook up some extra good stuff for you!--------------------------------------------Welcome back to "Mother May I" on The Mother Cousins Podcast! For week 3, we welcome Rachel Wells. She and Jared Wells talk about the Biblical teaching of Christian sacrifice.In this episode:

In this episode of Thinking Out Loud, Nathan and Cameron explore the recent DC embassy shooting through a Christian theological lens. Why do people scapegoat others? What drives individuals to violent action in the name of causes they don't directly represent? Drawing on René Girard's scapegoat theory, biblical concepts of atonement, and the moral confusion of modern culture, they analyze how this tragedy reveals the deep brokenness in human nature and our desperate attempts at meaning-making. With thoughtful insight and pastoral clarity, Nathan and Cameron reflect on individualism, ideological identity, and the limits of symbolic action. This conversation is essential for Christians seeking a thoughtful and faithful response to complex cultural events.DONATE LINK: https://toltogether.com/donate BOOK A SPEAKER: https://toltogether.com/book-a-speakerJOIN TOL CONNECT: https://toltogether.com/tol-connect TOL Connect is an online forum where TOL listeners can continue the conversation begun on the podcast.

In this powerful Memorial Day episode of American Potential, host David From is joined by Marine Corps veteran Adam Jahnke, now a Strategic Director at Concerned Veterans for America, to reflect on the true meaning of the holiday through the stories of those who made the ultimate sacrifice. Adam shares deeply personal memories of his fellow Marines—Corporal René Martinez, Lance Corporal Donald Chaplain, and others—who were killed while serving in Iraq. He also talks candidly about the realities of combat, the emotional toll of survivor's guilt, and his journey of recovery after being wounded in 2006. This conversation goes beyond the headlines and ceremonies. It's a sobering, heartfelt reminder that Memorial Day is not just a time for relaxation—it's a time to honor lives lost, to tell their stories, and to recognize the lasting impact on those who served alongside them. Adam challenges us to rethink how we observe Memorial Day—not just with gratitude, but with intention: by reaching out, listening, and ensuring that the sacrifices of our fallen heroes are never forgotten.

The purpose of this podcast is to help you find healing for your wounds; find hope in your despair; find intimacy in your loneliness; find refuge from the storms of life; Basically, to help you find a deeper walk with Jesus. There is one thing I know after having lived all these years: God wastes nothing. Not our sorrows. Not our wounds. Not even our failures. Hi. I am your host, Dennis Jernigan. Today's podcast is gonna be a bit different from most of my podcasts. This is the story behind the final installment of the music from my fantasy book series, The Chronicles of Bren: Book One: Captured. The collection of songs is called “Captured: Songs for the Journey.”  This week's episode is the story behind the last song in the series. That song is called, “Live the Adventure.” “Life is either a daring adventure or nothing.” Helen Keller I love that quote. It almost captures my heart for this series of books. Almost. I have adapted a  personal version that has influenced the writing of these stories of and from the land of Bren. “Life is either a grand, daring adventure or it is nothing at all.” Dennis Jernigan My love of writing and my love of hearing great stories of people who have overcome impossible circumstances has led me to write…in spite of whether those writings are ever considered great or not. The reason I wrote The Chronicles of Bren series and The Bairns of Bren series is simple. I wanted to leave a legacy for my children and grandchildren for generations to come. As a part of that legacy, I endeavored to write stories which depict the realities of life. Life is not easy. Life is full of sorrow. Life brings times of wounding of both body and soul. Life brings times of disappointment and even betrayal.  My goal is to leave my family a legacy that explains how life, even with its many hurtful episodes, is meant to be lived with joy. And just how does one do that? I personally believe that if one sees life and its circumstances - both good and bad - from the Lord's point of view, insurmountable mountains become molehills. Impassable rivers become rites of passage. Unbearable grief becomes an opportunity to receive comfort. Fear is replaced with love. Rather than being something to somehow endure, life becomes the most grand adventure because a life lived with the Lord ever-present at one's side sands away the bitterness of life revealing a many-faceted treasure of great worth.  Forgiveness and humility replace bitterness with the heroic heart of a benevolent conqueror. My desire, as a dad and granddad, is that my heirs would come to see themselves as overcomers. I believe Almighty God created the human imagination as a means of revealing His nature to mankind and as a means of helping the human mind understand and begin to unravel the wonderful mystery of Who God is. The gift of imagination has helped me see how even things that are meant to hurt me can be seen from a different point of view - and perspective is everything. Why write in the fantasy genre? Simple. God used fantasy to rescue my heart and mind when I was just a young boy. I felt trapped in what I now call stinkin' thinkin' concerning my identity. I felt I was being held captive in my own mind but God did something amazing during my boyhood that carried me through to the day He set me free.  From the time I was a little boy and all the way into my marriage and adult life, God has used fantasy, mythology, and imagination to rescue and save me. Just a quick case in point. When I was a boy, I felt constantly bullied and that my father could not possibly love me and that there was no escape and no one to rescue me…but each night as I fell  asleep, I was suddenly on the USS Enterprise. My dad was none other than Captain James Tiberius Kirk and my mother was Doris Day. Each dream I was captured by aliens and just as they were about to end me, my dad, Captain Kirk, would materialize and blast them with his phaser, not set to stun but set to destroy. My mom was always there singing Que sera, sera. Whatever will be, will be…Just a cool memory of how my mother used to comfort me. I believe the Lord used that recurring dream to keep me hanging on…to make me feel someone or something good was pursuing me. When it dawned on me that this was the case, I began to understand the role of imagination in the way I viewed the world and the massive creativity and divine order God set in motion by His own imagination. What does any of that have to do with living the adventure? A simple example from my own life. When I was about 30 years old, I asked myself this question: When you get to the age of 65, what is something that you would look back on and regret not even having tried? For me that was writing and recording music and authoring books. In college I was not allowed to major in song writing because they told me they saw no potential in me. I nearly gave it all up…but something deep inside of me kept nudging me to step out and see life as a grand adventure…so I did. And Father God has seen fit to spread my music literally all over the world. I also wanted a large family, but many told me we needed to wait until we had enough money to start a family before we should even consider it. If I had taken that advice I would not have had the privilege of raising 9 of the most amazing men and women I know of on this planet. I worked hard to provide for my family, but set aside personal time to be with them a lot, and I also carved out time to write each and every day. But had I not dared to believe what the Lord was putting in my heart, I never would have taken one step toward any of my dreams.  Even if you're 65, it's not too late to begin living out the adventure of things you have dreamed of doing. If you're breathing, there is hope…and if you take that first step in the journey, your adventure has begun. What is your heart telling you right now?  [Pro 13:12 NIV] 12 Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but a longing fulfilled is a tree of life. SONG [Joel 2:28 NIV] 28 "And afterward, I will pour out my Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your old men will dream dreams, your young men will see visions.” I certainly enjoyed writing the three book series, The Chronicles of Bren. They honestly helped me get a better grip on Father God's point of view of my life. My hope is that you would discover joy and solace within the pages of the books and the melodies of the songs. May they serve as uplifting companions, guiding you to encounter Jesus even amidst life's toughest trials.  Thank you for tuning in to The Dennis Jernigan Podcast.

You're witnessing the deepest fraud on America. The Biden Administration has brought to light unparalleled wrongdoing by government in American history, and without dispute, since the Watergate Affair. We have witnessed in plain view a 'takedown' of America over the last 4 decades. In the next two years the proclamations and pardons with Joe Biden's signature will become null and void. We are now about to uncover and understand the conspiracies to take down America at several levels. We must no longer demonize America and its shortcomings. Rather, we must support, honor, and praise the oldest nation on this planet! Bad actors have polluted America. Their attempts to destroy America now requires all patriots to defend the American virtue.WMXI Episode 165: Memorial Day Gratitude ~ Think About It ~ Sacrifice By Others Giving Us Our Freedom!Originally Aired on WMXI Radio on Friday, May 23, 2025Special thanks to the following source(s) for the image(s) used in this content: The Fallible Man LLC➡️ Join the Conversation: https://GeneValentino.com➡️ WMXI Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/NewsRadio981➡️ More WMXI Interviews: https://genevalentino.com/wmxi-interviews/➡️ More GrassRoots TruthCast Episodes: https://genevalentino.com/grassroots-truthcast-with-gene-valentino/➡️ More Broadcasts with Gene as the Guest: https://genevalentino.com/america-beyond-the-noise/ ➡️ More About Gene Valentino: https://genevalentino.com/about-gene-valentino/

"In order to lead you have to LOVE, in order to love you have to SERVE." - Dr. WestSelfless love is a form of love where a person cares for someone else deeply and sincerely without expecting anything in return. It's about putting the other person's needs, well-being, and happiness before your own, not out of obligation, but out of genuine care and compassion.Some key characteristics of selfless love include: 1. Unconditional Support – You stand by someone through good and bad, without conditions. 2. Empathy and Compassion – You feel deeply for their pain or joy and act with kindness and understanding. 3. No Hidden Agenda – You don't give love to get something back, whether attention, praise, or control. 4. Respect for Autonomy – You support their growth, independence, and choices, even if it means letting go. 5. Sacrifice without Resentment – You may give up time, comfort, or desires for their sake, but not with bitterness.It doesn't mean neglecting yourself or becoming a martyr—it means loving in a way that honors both the other and your own healthy boundaries.

We don't like making sacrifices. It's human nature. But what if the one thing you refuse to let go of is the one thing keeping you from what God has for you? As we wrap up this two week series, we look at the faith Abraham displayed by being willing to sacrifice his own son, Isaac.

This time of year always stirs up reflection, and not just because summer is starting to peek around the corner. Memorial Day is here—a day that means different things to different people. For some, it's a long weekend. For others, it's deeply personal. But beyond the cookouts and parades, there's a story to tell. A history worth remembering. A reminder of sacrifice, and why it matters. So today, I want to take you on a thoughtful walk through the meaning, history, and personal connections behind Memorial Day. It's a good time to think about those who came before us—and what they gave up so that we could live with the freedoms we have today.

During this season of Lent, our hosts discuss the true essence of sacrifice and what distinguishes it from investment, bribery, manipulation and other forms of offering. Is suffering a necessary component of sacrifice or should suffering be painless? If Jesus is our example of sacrifice, how might we mimic his behavior?

Today is Memorial Day. Have you ever noticed we don't say“Happy Memorial Day”? During Christmas time we might say, “Merry Christmas” or “happyholidays” and so forth as we celebrate the season. But we don't celebrate MemorialDay. Memorial Day is not a day to be happy; it's a day to remember the greatsacrifice many made so that we might live in a free country.  Itrust today that you'll take time to remember that freedom is not free. Overone million people in our country paid the price of giving their own lives.They made the ultimate sacrifice. “Greater love has no man than this, than aman lay down his life for his friends.” These people laid down their lives fortheir friends, their family, their country, and their God.  Americais a great place to live. With all the problems, difficulties, divisions, andstrife we might have, it's still the greatest place on planet Earth that Godhas blessed us with to be citizens in and live in. The freedom we enjoy is notfree; a great price was paid for it. We need to remember that today. Today takethe time to go to a memorial service. I'll be going to one this morning withsome local veterans and active military guys right here in my own neighborhood.There are other services in your community that you can choose to attend. Please,in some way today, remember and take time to honor those who died for ourfreedom. If you know someone or a family that gave a son or daughter to serviceand maybe sacrificed their life, give them a call. You can let them know you'rethinking about them today. You can pray for them, and take that time toremember. It'sinteresting to note how this ties in to what we are studying here we are inLuke chapter 19. Jesus has already told us that He has come to seek and to savethat which was lost. For Jesus to seek and to save that which was lost, He hadto die. He had to die on an old rugged cross. He had to pay the ultimatesacrifice. He had to lay down His life for His friends, and He did that for youand for me.  Oh,my friend, what a great sacrifice Jesus made. Did you ever think of thedifference between the sacrifice Jesus made, and the soldiers and those in ourmilitary made as they laid down their lives for our country. Yes they made theultimate sacrifice for our freedom. But what kind of freedom is that? Thefreedom to live in homes we want to live in, work jobs we want to work, gowhere we want to go, travel as we like to travel. We're free to choose ourvocations. There are so many things we are free to do.  ButJesus didn't die to set us free to do what we want to do. Jesus died to set usfree to be able to do what we ought to do!  And that is to live a life that honors,glorifies, and pleases Him and to enjoy the fullness of life—eternal life, Godliving within us. Oh, my friend, Jesus paid that sacrifice so we could be freefrom the guilt, the shame, the penalty, and the power of sin over us! We areset free by His sacrifice to do what is right and good. We are free to forgive othersbecause we have been forgiven! We're looking at Luke 19, the very last verses of the chapter.Thisis interesting, and we'll talk more about this tomorrow, but I believe this istaking place on Monday morning. Remember, on Sunday morning, Jesus rode intoJerusalem on a colt, a donkey, and as He rode in, the people celebrated, cheeredand yelled, “Hosanna in the Highest.” Jesus wept over the city. And then Jesusgoes back to Bethany where He spends the night. The next morning, Mondaymorning, Jesus goes into the temple to cleanse it. Just like we have ourproblems in America today, they had their problems in Jerusalem in those days.Jesus denounced the wickedness and the evil of the religious leaders who wereusing the temple to make money. Oh, my friend, not much has changed over theyears. We will talk more about this tomorrow.

What does it mean to be "chosen" by God? Where is the line between rightful self-sacrifice and harmful self-erasure? In this final episode of our Ephesians series, we tackle these profound spiritual questions sent in by our listeners.After 58 conversations unpacking the treasures of this extraordinary letter, we're moved by the thoughtful engagement of our global community. It has been truly moving to read from listeners how this exploration of Paul's letter has transformed their understanding of scripture and enriched their lives. In this episode, we take up a few questions and review the journey together.The first question we take up concerns the true nature of sacrifice and leads us to challenge the false dichotomy between standing for truth and sacrificial love. Drawing from our own painful experiences of burnout, we distinguish between genuine Christ-like sacrifice and misguided martyrdom. True sacrifice never abandons truth but risks everything for it—not from weakness or acquiescence but from spiritual strength. Sometimes the most loving action might be caring for your body and soul so you can serve sustainably rather than dramatically burning out.We then dive into another question concerning the mystery of being "chosen" from Ephesians 1:4. Rather than an exclusive club of the predestined, we explore how all humans are "pre-purposed" in Christ from before creation. The Father has drawn all humanity to Christ, though not everyone recognizes this presence in their consciousness. This understanding honors both divine initiative and human freedom, respecting the unique spiritual journey each soul undertakes.Some of the most powerful moments come when we acknowledge how Christ works through people of different faiths or no faith at all—whenever forgiveness, compassion, or self-sacrifice manifests in human life. The divine choosing includes our freedom to choose in return, a necessary component of spiritual maturity and authentic relationship with God.Join us for this rich conversation that brings our Ephesians journey to a meaningful close, complete with a musical surprise from one of our listeners!Support the showThe Light in Every Thing is a podcast of The Seminary of The Christian Community in North America.

* You can get the sermon note sheet at: http://family-bible-church.org/2025Messages/25May25.pdf * Jesus has entered into Jerusalem and has been teaching the people in the Temple. We are in the midst of a four day period when the Passover Lamb would be finely examined to make sure that it was a worthy Sacrifice. The religious unknowingly are fulfilling this prophetic requirement of YHWH (cf. Exodus 12:2-7). * Two weeks ago, we considered the Chief Priests' and Scribes' attempted to find a blemish in Jesus by asking whether it was lawful for Jews to pay taxes to Caesar. * Last week, we saw the Sadducees seek to trap Him by asking him who wife would a woman be (in the resurrection) who had been married consecutively to seven brothers. Jesus responded to them by drawing attention to the fact that they truly did not believe the Scriptures that they supposedly held in high regard. * Jesus took the moment as an opportunity to teach - both the Scribes and His Disciples - with authority. The first being a call to expositing the Word of God faithfully and the second a call to beware of pretentiousness. * This message was presented by Bob Corbin on May 25, 2025 at Family Bible Church in Martinez, Georgia.

Mike Gormley and Dave VanVickle talk about reviving the diaconate. They discuss how deacons are not just “married priests” but that they have different yet important roles. They also talk about the origin of the diaconate, how the role has evolved through the ages, and share their raw thoughts on the diaconate. Snippet from the Show “I'm grateful for the diaconate because I've always seen it as a part of the way the Church has ministered over the centuries, the way the Apostolic Church saw a need to fulfill and I think also the purpose of the Cross of Jesus Christ is to keep us in mind that our job is to be a sacrifice for other people.” We want to hear from you!
