Podcasts about seasons of life

Send us a textA birthday toast turns into a blueprint for a braver year. We celebrate 67 with honesty about grief, chronic illness, and a new diagnosis, and we choose a simple operating system for 2026: stack gold bricks. A brick can be a workout, a hard phone call, a quiet hour with family, or a closed real estate deal. Coins count, too. When days hit hard, we use a code phrase—“movie day”—to protect morale and communicate needs without giving pain more power than it deserves.Faith frames the plan. Ecclesiastes 3 reminds us there's a season for everything: building and letting go, speaking and staying quiet, weeping and laughing. That lens steadies the heart through a year of loss, a daughter starting chemo right after giving birth, and the strange rhythm of pain that can greet you first thing in the morning. From that place, we choose action that fits the day. We eat for strength, titrate meds wisely, and set energy boundaries that honor the body while keeping momentum.On the money front, we cut through hype and keep to what works in real estate: respectful outreach, consistent follow-up, steady skills, and a bias toward small daily wins. We talk about purging closets and habits, consigning the excess, and making room for the life that fits now. Then we round it out with the five slices that keep us balanced—financial, spiritual, physical, emotional, family—and a third-quarter mindset that plays to win with high-percentage moves. If you've been waiting for perfect conditions, this is your invitation to move anyway, one coin, one brick at a time.If this message hits home, subscribe, share it with someone who needs hope, and leave a review to help more people find the show.

This episode started the way some of our best conversations do — on a walk. Chris and Melissa talk about why the idea of "balance" often leaves families frustrated, exhausted, and feeling like they're failing. Instead, they introduce a different lens that has brought them far more peace over the years: seasons of life. Every season affords certain opportunities. Every season also has real limitations. And neither are permanent. Chris shares a conversation he had with someone wrestling with a big opportunity — one that looked great on paper, but didn't quite align with the season of life he and his family were in. That's when the idea of seasonality clicked. Not as an excuse, but as a filter. They walk through real-life examples — newly married seasons, seasons with little kids, seasons when kids are more independent, seasons packed with sports schedules, and even micro-seasons like coaching a basketball team or building a business. Each season requires different energy, different priorities, and different definitions of success. Melissa reflects on how much pressure we put on ourselves to "do it all" at once — careers, health, friendships, travel, parenting — without acknowledging that something always has to give. The freedom comes when you choose what gives on purpose, rather than resenting it later. They also talk about how comparison makes this even harder. Seeing other families travel, rest, hustle, or expand can make you question your own choices — unless you remember that you're not in the same season. Chris shares one of the most grounding decisions he's made for himself: If I choose it, I surrender my right to complain about it. Whether it's coaching basketball, committing to a business season, or choosing rest — owning your choice removes resentment and allows you to fully show up where you are. This episode is an invitation to pause and ask better questions: What season am I in right now? What does this season afford me? What am I choosing to prioritize here? And can I trust that the seasons will change? Because no season lasts forever. And no matter where you are right now, the belief that the best is yet to come is always available.

In this conversation, we explore the profound themes of joy and suffering, emphasizing the difference between happiness and biblical joy! We will discuss  personal experiences of suffering, the importance of trusting God, and the value of waiting. Our conversation will highlight how suffering can lead to growth in faith and character and the necessity of transparency in relationships to foster community and support. Be read to reflect on your own journey of faith and be renewed in knowing that we can trust in God amidst all of life's challenges!Key Takeaways:Finding joy often requires stopping the mind from spinning and being still.Happiness is circumstantial, while joy is rooted in trusting God.Suffering can reveal our true faith and dependence on God.Building relationships with God and others is crucial during suffering.Transparency in sharing struggles can help others feel less alone.God's timing is perfect.Suffering can lead to unexpected blessings and perspectives.We should seek to want God more than comfort or understanding.God's love and peace are available even in difficult circumstances.

We must be patient in every season of Life. God will be faithful to us; we need to be faithful to Him.

Have you ever felt like life is moving too fast, or perhaps it's stalled in a season of "winter" that feels cold, lonely, and long? In this episode, we dive into the timeless wisdom of Ecclesiastes 3 to understand how God orchestrates the shifting seasons of our lives. We often want to stay on the "mountaintops" of blessing and joy, but our faith is truly formed in the valleys of suffering and uncertainty. Whether you are in a season of growth or a season of endurance, this message offers a powerful reminder that while our circumstances change, our God remains the same.   In this episode, you will hear about: The Author of Seasons: Understanding that seasons are not accidents, but are built into the design of creation. The Purpose of Trials: How hard seasons refine our character and build a trust that prosperity cannot. Lessons from the Wilderness: What we can learn from Israel's journey and Joseph's betrayal about God's ultimate plan for good. The Power of Waiting: Why waiting on God is not inactivity, but "trust in motion." The Unchanging Anchor: Finding hope in God's constant love, truth, and promises regardless of your current situation. Scripture Highlights: Ecclesiastes 3:1 – "There is a time for everything..." Psalm 118:24 – "This is the day that the Lord has made..." Philippians 4:11-13 – Learning the secret of contentment. Call to Action: Are you in a "searching season"? Today is the day of opportunity. We invite you to listen and discover how to respond faithfully to the season you are in right now.

Sis, if life feels heavy, confusing, or stretched in every direction, this episode is for you. We break down Ecclesiastes 3:1–8 and talk about what it really looks like to walk through the seasons of life, the seasons you love, the ones you'd never choose, and the ones you don't understand until later.Whether you're navigating motherhood overwhelm, marriage challenges, career transitions, burnout, or waiting seasons, this conversation will help you see God's hand in every shift.

In Episode 285, I sit down with father–son jiu-jitsu black belts Jeff and Aaron Tiegs. It's wild how small the world is—Aaron and I first connected through jiu-jitsu, and I've had him up to train my athletes a couple of times because he's an exceptional grappler and instructor. Last week, when he came up to teach, he brought his father Jeff with him. Jeff and I quickly realized we were Rangers together back in 2000 at Alpha Company, 2/75. I was a private and he was the company Executive Officer. Obviously, with that rank gap, we didn't forge a friendship back then, but he was an exceptional Ranger who was respected by everyone. Connecting again all these years later was a real pleasure. The three of us sat down and talked about life, the military, jiu-jitsu, and more.

Send us a textI'm going to be honest with you, I'm not the biggest fan of the cold weather. Not only because it's...cold, but the shorter days, less sun and lower temperatures affect my mood and energy, like I'm sure it affects many of you also. The thing is, seasons come and go, and I'm not just talking about the weather. We, as individuals go through different seasons, some we're more excited about than others, but can we stay present and grateful even during the hard, cold seasons? Can we show ourselves love and compassion even when we can't fully show up how we would want to?

Send us a textDawn Pounell discusses her transition from a 30-year teaching career to retirement, emphasizing her identity as a child of Christ rather than her role as a teacher. Despite initial reluctance, she felt a divine appointment to return to teaching after staying home with her children. Over five years, she wrestled with the decision, ultimately finding peace in retiring. A pivotal moment came during a Bible study on John, which reinforced her faith to believe without seeing.

The story of The Seasons Of Life

There is purpose in every season. In the first message of our Halftime series, Pastor Jason walks through 3 different seasons in our lives and what we can do in each of those to keep God at the center.

God works through the rhythms and seasons of life to shape us, lead us, and fulfill His purpose in us. Discerning our current season is essential for spiritual growth and obedience. “He who has learned to discern the season has learned to walk in step with God.” — Watchman Nee NEW HERE?

What does it mean to bring light to the darkest seasons of life and faith? In this deeply moving post-Father's Day episode, Mike Donehey, lead singer of the reunited Tenth Avenue North, shares the heart behind their new album “Learning to Trust.” As a social Type 4 married to a Type 2, Mike demonstrates the courage to go to those dark feelings, sit with them, and grapple with them honestly—both in his music and his marriage. The album, which explores “the midnight hour in a person's faith,” was born from personal family struggles, including his 12-year-old daughter hitting rock bottom with anxiety and his own journey of learning to trust God when you can't see the path ahead. Mike opens up about how their lead song “Running with You in the Dark” captures the essence of moving forward with faith through uncertain seasons, and how influences like Jay Stringer's work on sexuality and faith have shaped their music. Whether you're walking through your own dark season, supporting your spouse through difficult times, or learning what it means to trust when life feels uncertain, this conversation offers both vulnerability and hope, with beautiful songs and timeless truths to guide you through.
