Podcasts about Selfless

Lindsey explores our last two values selfless and sincere in the final week of this series. We talk about the way people pleasing and unboundaried service is often confused for selflessness and the way performative church culture gets in the way of sincerity and authenticity. We close with an invitation to mark our commitment to these values and our hope for Kindred's future. This message is from our Sunday morning service on September 27th, 2026.We gather at 957 Main St., Louisville, CO 80027 on Sunday mornings at 10am.Connect with us:kindredchurch.co@kindredchurch.cofacebook.com/kindredchurch.coMake a commitment to Kindred's future:https://kindredchurch.churchcenter.com/giving

In this episode of the Tactical Living Podcast, hosts Coach Ashlie Walton and Sergeant Clint Walton talk about a cost that rarely gets named in first responder culture because the behavior it comes from is so consistently celebrated — the emotional price of being the person who is always reliable, always available, always steady, and always there when everyone else needs something. Reliability in first responder culture is not just a professional standard. It becomes an identity. And when an identity is built entirely around never letting anyone down the person inside that identity quietly disappears — not dramatically, not all at once, but gradually, one unmet need and one suppressed limit at a time.

We begin as little children, overwhelmed with gratitude that our sins are forgiven and that we belong to God. As we grow, that gratitude develops into the strength of young men—a life of sacrificial service, overcoming the evil one and giving ourselves fully to the work of God.But maturity takes us even deeper. Like fathers who have “known Him who is from the beginning,” we learn to rest in something greater than what God has done for us or even what we can do for Him: simply knowing God Himself.We never leave gratitude behind. We never outgrow service. We carry both with us as we mature into a deeper relationship with the eternal God.Grateful for what He has done.Committed to what we can do for Him.Growing to simply know Him.That is the journey of spiritual growth.

When does loyalty to others become disloyalty to yourself?In this episode, Light explores the line between genuine selflessness and self-sabotage. Using the familiar airplane oxygen-mask analogy, he explains why taking care of yourself first isn't necessarily selfish—it can actually increase your ability to show up for the people and purposes that matter most.He also breaks down why setting boundaries can feel uncomfortable, especially when the people around you have benefited from the way things used to be. And using the body as a “vehicle” and your internal signals as its dashboard, Light shares why ignoring exhaustion, stress, and other warning signs can eventually interfere with where you're trying to go.Ultimately, the question isn't simply whether you should put yourself or others first. It's about understanding what you're here to do and making choices that support your ability to fulfill that purpose—including recognizing when it may be time to say no, change course, or walk away.Send us a text message.

Saturday Morning Service (8/29/26) // *Philippians 2:25-30* (ESV) // 25 I have thought it necessary to send to you Epaphroditus my brother and fellow worker and fellow soldier, and your messenger and minister to my need, 26 for he has been longing for you all and has been distressed because you heard that he was ill. 27 Indeed he was ill, near to death. But God had mercy on him, and not only on him but on me also, lest I should have sorrow upon sorrow. 28 I am the more eager to send him, therefore, that you may rejoice at seeing him again, and that I may be less anxious. 29 So receive him in the Lord with all joy, and honor such men, 30 for he nearly died[a] for the work of Christ, risking his life to complete what was lacking in your service to me.*Footnotes*a.

PlayStation's dueling State of Play presentations -- one for western audiences and the other for its native Japanese territory -- hasn't quelled the ever-increasing animus for the brand in some corners. Though widely considered a weak showing (we rank it somewhere between a C and F, depending on which one of us you ask), there were still some great games worth discussing, and we'll do just that. New announcements included shark-eating sequel Maneater 2, an eastern take on New York City with Konami's Rhapsody in Scarlet, old-school bona fides in SlashZero, and the uniquely liminal World Phasebound Control Authority. Plus, release dates flowed for the likes of Final Fantasy VII Revelation, Until Dawn 2, and Metro 2039, all excellent-looking titles. But underneath the surface, the same issues remain. Is Sony disconnected from the reality on the ground, or are we too busy misinterpreting the noise while dodging the signal? We discuss at length. Other news this week includes some Grand Theft Auto VI updates, the exit of Housemarque's co-founder, faux rumors of Square Enix going private, and more. Then, we wrap things up (as we always do) with listener inquiries. Do we believe the scuttlebutt out of Gamescom that Sony's development and publishing partners are upset with them? What do we think of the new website Video Games Critic? Does developer Bit Reactor furloughing staff indicate a future trend for sustainable game dev?

When was the last time you actually stopped and asked yourself how you're really doing? Not the autopilot answer you give people at the gym or in a group text. The real one. That's exactly where I took a room full of guys during a recent workshop, and it cracked something open for every single person in there, myself included. In this episode of The Happy Hustle Podcast, I'm sharing the Montana Mastermind Exclusive Session Part 1, where I walk through the 10 alignments I use to avoid burnout and build what I call blissful balance. This isn't some complicated system. It's not rocket science, and you don't need a PhD to get it. But it's profound because of how simple it is, and I've watched it transform thousands of lives, including my own back when I was running myself into the ground as an entrepreneur. Here's the big shift. Most of us think burnout is about working too much. It's not. Burnout happens when a handful of areas in your life go completely unattended while you pour everything into one or two. You can be crushing it in your career and still be running on empty because your health, your relationships, or your spirit are getting ignored. The fix isn't working less. It's getting honest about where you actually stand, then making small, intentional moves in the areas that need it. Here's what stood out most from this session. Give yourself an honest score, not a nostalgic one. I ask people to rate themselves one to five in each alignment based on the last 30 days only. Not high school. Not "the person I used to be." Just now. That single shift in perspective is what makes the exercise actually useful instead of a feel good exercise in self deception. Selfless service only counts when there's no string attached. Giving to your kids or your best friend feels good, but it lives in a different category. Real selfless service is time, insight, or money given to someone with zero personal connection and zero expectation of return. I use an app called Kiva to fund micro loans for entrepreneurs in developing countries, and I've never once pulled my money back out. I just keep reinvesting it into someone else's shot. Your environment might be sabotaging your health more than your diet. We talk a lot about food and workouts, but EMFs, mold, and tainted water are quietly wrecking people's health and nobody's checking for it. I know guys who look absolutely jacked on the outside and are falling apart on the inside because their house is full of black mold. You cannot out exercise a bad environment. It just doesn't work that way. Fifty five percent of communication is nonverbal, and twenty five percent is tone. That means only a small fraction of what you're actually saying comes from your words. In my marriage, I use something I call the love calendar. Every night my wife and I score the day one to ten, average it, and track it over the month. It sounds simple because it is, but it keeps us honest instead of letting resentment quietly pile up. Your morning is sacred territory, and most people give it away for free. Right when you wake up, your brain is still in a theta state, more connected and more open than at almost any other point in your day. The second you grab your phone, that's gone. I protect thirty minutes in the morning and thirty minutes before bed as phone free time, and it has changed how I show up for literally everything else. None of this is about being perfect. It's about knowing where you stand and choosing, on purpose, to close the gap. That's the whole game. When I actually run through these ten alignments consistently, my life gets fuller, my relationships get deeper, and honestly I just feel like myself again. That's what happy hustling actually means. Not hustling harder. Hustling with intention. If any part of this hit home, I'd love for you to listen to the full episode.

We live in a culture that has never been more focused on itself. We carry mirrors in our pockets. Algorithms show us exactly what we want to see. And somewhere along the way, the default posture of life became inward, not outward. In this message, Charlie traces that problem all the way back to the invention of the mirror and then asks what the church is supposed to do about it. He lands in two places. Jeremiah 29, where God tells his people in exile to stop waiting to go home and start building houses, planting gardens, and seeking the welfare of the city around them. And 2 Corinthians 5, where Paul says the love of Christ compels us, not our love for Christ, but his overwhelming love for us, and that love is what frees us from living for ourselves in the first place. The cross did not just buy us out of our sin. It bought us out of ourselves. And that changes everything about how we live in a culture that is constantly turning the mirror back toward us. This message is about what it looks like to be a selfless church in a world that is deeply, deeply selfish. And why the world actually needs to see that.

In Part 2 of our A Day in the Life series, Pastor Robey Barnes explores the powerful, countercultural reality of Koinonia—the selfless, shared life that defined the early church. Looking at Acts 2 and the stories of Barnabas, Ananias, and Sapphira, this message challenges us to loosen our grip on temporary things so we can fully embrace God's eternal mission. Following Jesus was never meant to be about consuming church or simply attending services. It's about belonging to a community, contributing to the body of Christ, and living generously as people transformed by the resurrection.

Ada explains how self-abandonment shows up specifically in dating (over-planning, over-texting, doing all the emotional labor) and marriage (trying to control your partner instead of trusting them), and introduces the most powerful reframe of the episode: resentment as a messenger, not an enemy, a signal that reveals exactly where you've abandoned your own needs.

Our Parsha features laws relating to all types of leaders: Judges must not corrupt judgment, must not accept bribery, must hearken to the rulings of the Grand Sanhedrin, and must relentlessly pursue justice. Kings may not have too many wives, too many horses, too much silver and gold, and must always be cognizant of the Almighty by carrying a Torah scroll wherever they go. Prophets mustn't withhold the prophecy and mustn't misappropriate prophecy given to their fellow. Priests play a vital role in the release of accidental murderers from cities of refuge and in the ceremony of decapitating a calf when an unidentified corpse is discovered between two cities. Judges, Kings, Prophets, Priests -- very few of us know any of these office holders. In this Parsha podcast, we discover that each one of us must strive to adopt the qualities of these officials. We learn what it takes and the particular pitfalls of each one. – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – –DONATE: Please consider supporting the podcasts by making a donation to help fund our Jewish outreach and educational efforts at https://www.torchweb.org/support.php.

This episode is sponosored by Hulu. Stream PRISON BREAK on Hulu in the U.S. and Disney+ Internationally. Happy Birthday, Paul Adelstein!  Today's your birthday!!!  Sarah Wayne Callies and Paul discuss Prison Break episode 412 “Selfless,” focusing on how its Company-versus-convicts story echoes 2008's financial-crisis anger and an emerging “eat the rich” zeitgeist, framing the Company as an untouchable deep-state-like cabal and noting how satisfying it is to see the General weakened even as Don Self's betrayal undercuts victory. They debate plausibility issues (Trishanne's lone move at Gate, the blank “release papers,” logistics like calling authorities), highlight character arcs and reversals, and explore the show's evolving idea of freedom, forgiveness, and found family amid losses like Bellick. Guest Stacy Haiduk (Lisa Tabak) describes auditioning, learning later she was the General's daughter, building character through wardrobe and collaboration, navigating female dynamics on set, and industry double standards around “mortgage” jobs like soaps, while emphasizing the workload and craft of daytime drama and her desire to create an independent film with her daughter.

Take care of yourself first — that's not selfish, that's survival.Nothing wrong with caring about others' needs and wellbeing over your own, especially as a mom. But there comes a point when it's not selflessness anymore — it's when you're barely surviving. That's when you've become self "last," not selfless.Put your oxygen mask on first.

With just six rounds remaining before the finals, Billy Slater breaks down the biggest stories in rugby league. Can the injury-hit Storm still pull off a miracle? Why Cronulla have become the competition's hottest team, and why Penrith remain the safest premiership pick despite not being the form side. Billy also gives his thoughts on the West Tigers' Adam Doueihi saga, the Bulldogs rediscovering their defensive identity, and the extraordinary recruitment advantage being handed to the new PNG Chiefs after landing Zach Lomax and chasing more elite talent. 00:19 Intro00:44 Are the Broncos and Storm finished?05:55 Can the Raiders make the finals?08:13 PNG Chiefs land Zach Lomax14:44 Why the Sharks are the NRL's form team20:21 What's gone wrong at Manly?22:54 Cowboys end Brisbane's season25:57 Billy reveals what went wrong at the Broncos30:12 Penrith's championship mindset34:38 Why Penrith are still the team to beat36:39 Bulldogs rediscover their defensive identity39:26 Billy on the Adam Doueihi and Tigers drama45:24 Billy backs Benji Marshall47:14 Round 22 preview49:09 Storm's next generation gets its chance51:37 Billy's first game at fullback New episodes of the Billy Slater Podcast every Monday.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

What if self-love, a corrective to shame, abandonment, and self-erasure, has begun producing a danger: a person so committed to honoring the self that nobody else's humanity can interrupt it? Self-love should restore dignity. It should rescue people from relationships, religions, families, and social systems that trained them to disappear. Yet every medicine contains the possibility of overdose. The language of healing can become a constitution. “Protecting my peace” can mean refusing truth. “Knowing my worth” can become a ranking system. “Choosing myself” can become permission to leave every room where reciprocity, compromise, correction, or repair is required. The ghost of Narcissus does not appear when someone admires themselves. It appears when the reflection becomes more sacred than reality. The person no longer loves the whole self, with its beauty, damage, courage, selfishness, tenderness, and capacity to injure. They love an edited image that must remain innocent. Anyone who challenges that image becomes toxic, misaligned, jealous, unsafe, or beneath their vibration. The deeper question may be more radical than whether self-love creates narcissistic tendencies. Could the highest form of self-love be selfless? Not self-erasing. Not boundaryless. Not weak. Selfless in the strictest sense: love with no ego seated at the center demanding elevation, exemption, admiration, or control. A functional self remains. Agency remains. Dignity remains. The throne disappears. Perhaps real self-love does not say, “I am above you.” It says, “I no longer need to stand above anyone to remain whole.” The person who hates themselves may be unable to receive love. The person who worships themselves may be unable to give it. The person who truly loves themselves may no longer need to make the self the center of love. Which one lives in your mirror: a healed self, a defended image, or Narcissus wearing the language of awakening?

In the wake of the sad passing, Friday, July 10, 2026 of Thomas Williams, one of the most influential figures in Nashville's culinary community, I want to honour Thomas Williams and the extraordinary life of selflessness that he lived today. Thomas and I recorded this conversation some years back and I thought that it would be fitting to share it today. This show is about how Thomas rallied a group of talented and giving chefs and other selfless human beings to raise money for aid and recovery efforts after the devastating floods that hit Nashville in 2010. Founding Member Thomas Williams and the beginnings of the Nashville Food Project.

The believers at Corinth believe that since they have decided to follow Jesus and he has given them freedom from the bondage of sin, they can do whatever they want. In their culture, just like ours, temptation is all around them, everywhere they go. Temples with prostitutes are seen from any direction, meat sacrificed to idols is being sold in restaurants and marketplaces, and with their freedom they have in Jesus, they tend to give into temptations and sin. Paul says, “Yes, you have freedom in Christ, but not all freedoms are beneficial. The King James Version says they are not all expedient and edifying. Yes, we have been set free from sin by Jesus, but there are other people to think about, and this is what Paul is saying. Don't let your freedom cause others to sin!

Life isn't all about us. But have you tried teaching that to your kids?! Pastor, author, and super dad Dave Stone will help you raise kids who are humble, generous, and others-focused.

Are you a caregiver, an empath, the one who holds everything together for everyone else, and secretly feel guilty every single time you dare to put yourself first? What if that guilt isn't wisdom? What if it was installed in you by a tribe, a culture, and a belief system that had a very specific interest in keeping you running on empty? Michael tackles the teaching he has been circling for over two decades, one he first heard in 2003 and couldn't fully believe until he lived it: selfishness is the ultimate selfless act. Not the garish, take-what-you-want kind. The quiet, radical, oxygen-mask-first kind. The kind that says: I cannot give you what I don't have. I cannot light your path if I have extinguished my own flame. This isn't about becoming selfish. This is about discovering that choosing yourself first, out of love, out of kindness, out of compassion, is the single most generous thing you will ever do for the people you love most. Key Topics: Why "Love thy neighbor as thyself" has been read backwards by almost everyone, and why the whole teaching collapses without the part that comes first. The double whammy of self-neglect: why not putting yourself first doesn't just drain you, it actually lowers your vibration, clouds your thinking, and attracts the exact circumstances you were trying to prevent. Why the universe is watching: the law of resonance that says if you don't put yourself first, the universe takes that as its cue too, and what shifts the moment you change the signal you're sending. The entrainment trap: how years of putting others first actually trains the people around you to expect it, and why starting to come first will feel shocking to them at first, and why that's okay. Why dimming your light to help another never worked in the history of histories, and the simple energetic truth that when you extinguish your own flame, you have nothing left to offer the very person you're sacrificing it for. Michael's raw admission: the near-death experience that happened because the universe got tired of watching him slay everyone else's dragons, and what he learned from being cracked in two. A breathtaking mirror pool group meditation, gazing at your own reflection in a still pond, locking eyes with your soul, and remembering, maybe for the first time, that the odds of you existing at all are one in a trillion to the 33rd power. You are not ordinary. You never were. Me time is not the opposite of we time. It is the foundation of it. Every drop of energy you give to others comes from a well, and that well only refills one way: when you choose yourself first. Not last. Not eventually. First. Out of love. Out of kindness. Out of compassion for everyone and everything everywhere. The most revolutionary, world-changing, light-spreading decision you will make today is the simplest one: I choose me.

At a Minnesota Masonic Charities scholarship event, the CEO explains a scholarship program designed to recognize everyday kindness by having students nominate a peer and share the award. The program's purpose is to uncover and celebrate stories of service that often go unnoticed, highlighting how simple actions can create ripple effects across schools and communities. Throughout the night, several nominations are read and discussed, featuring special young people who consistently put others first through inclusion, support during difficult times, volunteering, leadership, and service to people with disabilities, younger students, seniors, and community organizations. Families and guests reflect on the values behind these actions and the importance of compassion, forgiveness, and noticing those who feel alone. The event concludes by thanking attendees and encouraging future students to keep nominating quiet difference-makers.

Paul, Jon, and Liz continue their conversation about Jesus, reflecting on one of the ways Jesus loves: receiving what other people bring into his life. "Selfless openness is simply being willing to let other people intrude into your world. With Mary Magdalene in the garden, Jesus stays in the background. He's the receiver of what's going on. Jesus receives Mary's tears quietly. He leaves space for her. Then with Pilate, Jesus receives his verbal abuse and mocking, which gets worse as the trial goes on. And in the footwashing, he receives the disciples' pride by washing their feet. He absorbs it." "We can potentially be very productive, but we miss opportunities to love all the time." "It's easy to see the seeming 'disorganization' as a problem. Like, Jesus could have benefited from a really good travel agent or team manager. 'He's not able to come help your daughter today, but you can book an appointment using our online form.' But, by design, he's responding to real life unfolding around him. That's something we can learn from him, too."
