Podcasts about seeking

We spent the previous several weeks discussing Charles Spurgeon's small work on the weighty responsibility of parents and Sunday school teachers. While we covered everything Spurgeon said in that series, we wanted to leave the topic with an example of how we can speak to our children about eternal issues. To that end, we pull help from a contemporary of Spurgeon, an Anglican bishop named J. C. Ryle. Dr. John Snyder is joined again by his wife Misty as they look through a book of sermons for children preached by Ryle. The book is published under several titles and it is linked below. But the particular sermon they focus on is called “Seeking the Lord Early.” In this sermon, we see many of the principles discussed during earlier weeks but applied in ways that make our appreciation of Ryle grow deeper. He utilizes the character of God, the promises and warnings of Scripture to draw children's hearts to Christ. We pray the content of this episode is an encouragement to you to read the sermons and consider afresh how to help your children seek Christ early. Show Notes: J. C.

Last week saw dangerous weather in Europe, where a brutal heat wave swept across the continent. Now wildfires from that heatwave are scorching several Mediterranean countries. Closer to home, hundreds of heat records were set across the U.S in the month of June, including Baltimore, which saw a record high of 105 degrees. Nearly 130 million people were under extreme heat warnings or heat advisories on last Thursday, according to NOAA's Weather Prediction Center.Heat is a deadly threat that has been intensifying each summer. And while some of us turn to air conditioning, many don't have that option. We discuss the power of shade to help cool us down as rising temperatures become the new normal. Want to support 1A?

In this informative episode, Dr. Reid Mergler, Assistant Professor of Clinical Psychiatry at University of Pennsylvania and Reproductive Psychiatrist at Penn Center for Women's Behavioral Wellness, describes how you can recognize this common diagnosis, Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS), and how to get the support you need.

Cathy Garland asserts that the "dark night of the soul" season of life isn't relegated to one singular event. It can be a reoccurring season, and the temptation to doubt God during hard times is strong. Sometimes, we aren't seeing God move because we haven't trained our eyes to see him. God is always participating in mankind. Seeking how God manifests himself must become a habit. Once we become sensitive to his voice and the way he moves, we can apply his vertical direction to our horizontal world.

McKay shares a collection of powerful, real-world stories here today as he explores the transformative power of viewing life as a journey from one form of strength to another. From a collegiate runner's recovery after a devastating accident to the historic leadership of Abraham Lincoln and the creative genius of Beethoven, our host illustrates how our greatest weaknesses can become the catalysts for our most profound strengths.Listeners will learn to reframe challenges, setbacks, and even failures not as endpoints but as essential experiences that build resilience, empathy, and new capabilities. McKay offers practical advice on the importance of trying, seeking help, and taking small, consistent steps to move forward. Today's episode is a compelling reminder that who we are is not static; we are constantly developing, and our struggles are an integral part of that growth.Main Themes:Life is a continuous journey of moving from one developed strength to another.Weaknesses and challenges are opportunities to build new, deeper strengths.Overcoming adversity fosters resilience, empathy, and maturity.The simple act of trying, especially after failure, is a powerful catalyst for growth.Seeking help is a sign of strength, not a weakness.You can begin to change your life by doing something different today.Growth requires taking risks and stepping outside your comfort zone.Focus on doing a little more of what works and a little less of what doesn't.Top 10 Quotes:"The journey we take in this life is moving really from strength to strength.""The strength you gain in getting help and overcoming weaknesses propels you to the next level in your life.""Weaknesses that are given to us in life can help us move from strength to strength.""For when I am weak, then I am strong.""Each time you try, despite the lack of strength of the bridge or the chasm or the gaps in your life, you strengthen those bridges.""You don't have to let your past dictate your future, even if it's your recent past.""You may not have to have all the answers. Just do a little bit more of what works and a little bit less of what doesn't.""It's when we step outside our normal routine or normal circumstances that we see and grow in new ways.""Starting where you are is sometimes all you can and often all you need to do. Trying is enough.""Your talents rise and your gaps are spanned, and your weaknesses become strengths."Show Links:Open Your Eyes with McKay Christensen

In a world where disrespect and division are increasingly normalised, how can leaders navigate difficult conversations and transform conflict into connection? This episode of the Connected Leadership Podcast tackles this critical challenge head-on as Andy Lopata welcomes Justin Jones-Fosu. A dynamic speaker and author, Justin guides individuals and organisations to their peak potential through meaningful work, inclusive mindsets, and the art of respectful disagreement.   Justin argues that the "social isolation theory", amplified by social media, has seeped from our global discourse into the workplace, creating dynamics like "disrespectful agreement"—where politeness masks underlying dissent. This erodes trust and stifles innovation. The conversation explores how leaders can counteract this by proactively building psychological safety and shifting from a passive "open-door policy" to an active "out-the-door policy" to intentionally build relational capital.   At the core of the discussion are Justin's five powerful pillars for bridging divides: Challenge Your Perspective, Be the Student, Cultivate Your Curiosity, Seek the Grey, and Agree to Respect. He provides a masterclass in moving beyond a win-lose mentality, emphasising that curiosity is the engine for understanding and that finding common ground is more crucial than seeking a middle ground.   From the cultural nuances of disagreement in global teams to the power of a leader's apology, this episode is packed with profound insights and practical frameworks. Discover how to reframe conflict as an opportunity for growth, humanise your interactions, and build a culture where challenging conversations strengthen, rather than sever, professional relationships. What we discussed: The Echo Chamber's Invasion: What if the distance created by our screens and societal echo chambers is actively teaching us to dehumanise our colleagues? The Agreeable Dissenter: Are your team's nods of agreement hiding a culture of silent, simmering dissent known as "disrespectful agreement"? The Leader's Journey: Why is the traditional "open-door policy" a passive failure, and what is the proactive alternative that builds authentic connection? Beyond Black and White: When two sides are locked in opposition, what is the innovative "grey" space that most leaders fail to see? The Power of the Pre-Workout: How can intentionally seeking out different perspectives before a conflict arises become your most effective tool for handling it? Actionable Insights: Embark on the "Out the Door" Expedition: Discover how to transform the failed "open-door policy" into an active leadership ritual. Learn the 15-minute weekly habit that builds profound relational capital and makes your team feel truly seen. Unlock the Code for Candour: Find out the simple, powerful phrase you can use to "prime the pump" for respectful disagreement in any meeting, instantly creating the psychological safety needed for your team to share what they really think. Master the Quest for "The Grey": When stuck in a debate, learn how to escape the black-and-white battle. We reveal the technique for "Seeking the Grey" to find the hidden common ground that holds the key to innovative solutions, not just empty compromises.

Born in Trebizond, he was educated in Constantinople, then entered into ascetic life. Seeking greater reclusion, he went to the Holy Mountain to live in silence. But many others gathered around him, and in time he was forced to build the monastery known as the Great Lavra. As construction was being planned, he beheld the Mother of God, who miraculously brought forth water from a rock near the site, and promised him that she would be the abbess of his monastery. He died when the newly-constructed dome of the monastery collapsed while he and six of his brethren were working on it.

Episode Summary: In this episode, Heather “Lucky” Penney talks to Lt. Gen. David Deptula, USAF (Ret.), Charles Galbreath, Todd “Sledge” Harmer, Anthony “Lazer” Lazarski, JV Venable, and Jeff Rowlison about the top defense issues this month in Washington, D.C. and beyond. Our team digs into newly released FY26 budget details. There are some key issues to track for both the Air Force and Space Force. Seeking to retire 340 aircraft, while only procuring 76 is a high-risk strategy. Will Congress buy into it? Putting so much of the Space Force's budget in reconciliation is proving contentious. They also explore comments by DARPA leadership regarding the future of stealth and discuss whether it's smart to kill the E-7. We wrap with an extensive conversation regarding readiness: the numbers are bleak.

AP correspondent Donna Warder reports on how some Palestinians are receiving the latest ceasefire proposal.

In this episode, Dan and Kyle explore the complex themes of self-worth, validation, and communication in relationships. They share personal anecdotes and insights on how to build and maintain self-worth without relying on external validation. The conversation delves into the impact of addiction on self-worth, the importance of effective communication in relationships, and strategies for personal growth. The hosts emphasize the need for self-reflection, understanding one's values, and the significance of surrounding oneself with supportive individuals. Takeaways: Self-worth should not depend on external validation. Building self-worth involves understanding personal values. Communication is key in maintaining healthy relationships. It's important to recognize unhealthy relationship patterns. Addiction can significantly impact self-worth. Self-reflection helps in identifying personal strengths. Maintaining self-worth requires consistent effort and self-care. Positive reinforcement should focus on the process, not just outcomes. Seeking help is different from seeking validation. Personal growth often comes from overcoming challenges. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Segment 1: • John MacArthur: There is no such thing as “Christian Nationalism.” • Jesus never tied political power to advancing His kingdom. • Christ came for hearts, not government control—He calls us to live transformed lives, not to seize nations. Segment 2: • Christians should care about politics, but can't force governments to obey Scripture. • Jesus' kingdom is not of this world—He didn't overthrow Rome. • Christian Nationalism often lacks clear biblical support despite quotes from theologians. Segment 3: • Jesus promised His spiritual kingdom would prevail against darkness, not political kingdoms. • We must align with what Scripture says, not postmillennial dreams of a theocracy. • Christians should engage politics wisely, but expect the world to get darker, not Christianized. Segment 4: • Seeking a “muscular Christianity”? Be careful it doesn't become vigilante Christianity. • When, if ever, should Christians resist or overthrow corrupt governments? • We must obey God over man—but Scripture limits when and how resistance is biblical. ___ Thanks for listening!

In 1775, revolutionaries went to war against the British. Seeking independence from colonial ties, they fought more than 150 battles over eight years.A relatively new nation of just 2.5 million people facing off against the greatest military power on the planet at that time, it seemed like a tall order.

People pleasing is one of the most adaptively constrained behaviors we engage in as human beings. It is a highly developed skill, yet most people do it to excess and much disappointment. Stop Being a People Pleaser is a look at one of the most common expression of our subpersonalities, and one of what many people consider next to perfectionism a dysfunctional behavior. Perfectionism is a version of people pleasing. Seeking external validation and affirmation.The goal is to become inner directed. To disengage from the manipulative and dishonest practice of people pleasing.ANNOUNCING: THE LIMITLESS EXPERIENCEDaniel D'Neuville is a peak performance coach, spiritual teacher, and master life and business coach.

Empaths and healers are often seen as calm, giving, and unshakable—but what happens when they quietly break under the weight of others' pain? In this deeply personal episode, Susan Grau returns from hiatus to share powerful insights on the unseen emotional toll of healing work. She explores the silent burden many empaths carry, the importance of vulnerability, and how spiritual connection can help process fear, grief, and emotional exhaustion. Drawing from her own journey, Susan offers a grounding framework—awareness, acceptance, and action—as a guide for authentic healing.

Michael Villari is the Co-Founder, Secure Virtual Solutions (SVS) Born and raised in Holland, PA, Michael Villari is a proud graduate of LaSalle College High School and a lifelong athlete who played baseball through college and beyond. After college, he began his professional journey with the Faulkner Organization — a role he still looks back on as his favorite job for its leadership, culture, and operational excellence. However, the demanding hours took him away from what mattered most: family. Seeking more balance, Michael transitioned into the financial services industry but quickly realized that selling insurance wasn't aligned with his passion or purpose. That clarity led to something greater. Drawing from his operational background and alongside his wife Becky — whose expertise in offshoring and workforce strategy shaped the vision — the two launched Secure Virtual Solutions (SVS). Today, SVS helps small businesses streamline operations and reclaim their time by integrating skilled, professionally managed virtual assistants into their teams. Michael is fueled by the belief that business owners should be able to grow without sacrificing their sanity — or their weekends.

She kept her world small to protect her energy and stayed in her head to avoid being overwhelmed. But even with all the right answers, she still felt disconnected.If you've ever felt safest when you're at a distance…If connection feels like a risk, you're not sure you can afford…This story might feel familiar.Before her Enneagram Type is revealed, you'll walk in her shoes. Through the mental swirl, the emotional withholding, and the deep desire to be capable and safe.Then, you'll hear from Tara, a Wholehearted client and deep thinker, who shares how learning to trust God with her limitations led her to choose connection, ask for help, and live with more peace than pressure.

In this revealing conversation, freelance journalist and former coach Linda Flanagan describes how youth sports have transformed from neighborhood fun into a $30 billion industry that's reshaping American families. Drawing from her book "Take Back the Game: How Money and Mania Are Ruining Kids' Sports and Why It Matters," Flanagan explores the cultural shifts since the 1970s that have turned children's athletics into high-stakes enterprises demanding extraordinary parental sacrifice.The Parental Pressure Paradox* Parents now spend an average of 202 minutes (over 3 hours) daily on their children's athletics* 36% of families reduce family vacations and struggle to save money due to sports expensesThe College Myth * Only 6-7% of high school athletes go on to play in college, and just 2% of these receive any athletic scholarship money.Red Flags to Watch For in Youth Sports* Family life revolving entirely around one child's sports schedule* Siblings feeling resentful or left behind* Parents' emotional wellbeing tied to their child's athletic performance* Pressure to specialize in one sport before adolescence* Sacrificing family relationships, activities, friendships, and personal interestsFlanagan's controversial but liberating advice: "Flee the bleachers at the middle school gym, skip the tournament at school across town, resuscitate your own interests and relationships instead."This isn't about not caring for your children—it's about showing them that:* Their activities belong to them, not you* Adult life has purpose and joy beyond child-serving* Independence and resilience are valuable life skills* Your wellbeing matters tooThe Bottom LineYouth sports can be wonderful for children when kept in proper perspective. The key is resisting cultural pressures that turn childhood athletics into family-consuming enterprises. By maintaining balance, protecting family relationships, and modeling fulfilling adult lives, parents can help their children enjoy sports without sacrificing everything else that makes life meaningful.Website: lindaflanaganauthor.comResources Mentioned* "Take Back the Game" by Linda Flanagan* Aspen Institute Sports and Society Program research* Beyond Stigma Documentary on Women in Collegiate SportsThanks for listening to The Reflective Mind Podcast and reading A Mind of Her Own!
