Podcasts about Selflessness

What if the quiet revolution drawing hundreds of millions into daily scripture study—and toward the Savior himself—began with a single question: does anyone actually read this? Brother Mike Madsen, Program Manager for Gospel Learning and Teaching, pulls back the curtain on Come Follow Me, the coming shift to a shorter Sunday schedule, and a teacher-led journey through David and Goliath that finds Christ in a shepherd boy's sling.YOUTUBE: https://youtu.be/tHSNfRcv7uMFREE PDF DOWNLOADS OF followHIM QUOTE BOOKSNew Testament: https://tinyurl.com/PodcastNTBookOld Testament: https://tinyurl.com/PodcastOTBookBook of Mormon: https://tinyurl.com/PodcastBMBook WEEKLY NEWSLETTERhttps://tinyurl.com/followHIMnewsletter SOCIAL MEDIAInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/followHIMpodcastFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/followhimpodcastTIMECODE0:00 - Part 1 - Brother Michael Madsen1:44 First Impressions of David: Example or Warning?3:20 Bio4:04 The origins of Come, Follow Me4:50 A family of seven studying in a 10x10 shipping container6:39 Fiji, Africa and the Philippines: The Global Ripple Effect7:26 They didn't see podcasts, seminary alignment, conversations at home8:39 Podcasts shouldn't supplant scripture study (Look for “study skills”)10:07 The Savior's invitations to feast on the word12:15 Honoring the unnamed writers behind the curriculum13:54 The Why behind the new 25-minute Sunday schedule15:10 Igniting fires, not filling containers (more containers)19:50 Inside the optimism and joy of the Church Office Building21:43 Is the Church actually growing?23:33 Come, Follow Me Manual24:48 Four questions for any picture27:06 Goliath's size and armor (and Scripture Study Helps)28:43 “How would it feel?” and facing the giant29:51 The number 4032:29 Israel's demand for a king: the “I/he/his disease”34:45 David speaks: “The armies of the living God”36:31 A different style of warfare38:16 The lion and the bear as divine preparation40:42 Mike's “primary teacher” pride story42:27 Trying on Saul's armor and 5 smooth stones43:13 Pick a character: “The Battle is the Lord's”46:00 How a sling actually works (and the marshmallow story)49:55 The power of silence in teaching50:37 “What do you learn?” and running toward the army52:12 Evan and the locker room54:15 Teach about Jesus Christ, no matter what lesson you teach55:50 David as a type of Christ57:32 Jonathan strips off his robe1:00:57 Saul's jealousy creeps in1:04:35 Saul's pursuit and David flees to Samuel1:05:02 Where jealousy originates.

What do your spiritual beliefs actually have to do with your relationships? Faith doesn't influence your relationships. It changes them. Faith isn't just personal. It's not just something you believe or experience internally. When you truly encounter Jesus, it begins to reshape everything—including how you relate to God, how you see yourself, and how you treat others. Real spiritual growth doesn't stay contained. It shows up in your relationships. What if the frustration, tension, or disconnection you feel isn't random? What if it's an invitation to something deeper? Scripture shows us that as God works in us, He begins to work through us. We become people who don't just react, but who reflect Him. People who bring grace, truth, and love into every relationship. Our prayer is that this wouldn't just be something you hear, but something that begins to reshape how you live this week. Next Steps: Identify one relationship that needs to be different Ask: What would it look like for God to change how I show up here? Take one intentional step toward that person this week

Apostle Ato Addison, throws more light on this in this insightful message titled "The Selflessness Of Our Forebears: Lessons For Ministers Today" at the 2026 Global Ministers Conference held at the Pentecost Convention Centre in Gomoa-Fetteh. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Jesus consistently modeled dependence on the Father through prayer, obedience, and service. He came not to be served, but to serve others, ultimately giving His life for humanity. In the same way, believers are called to deny themselves daily, not through their own strength, but through the empowering work of the Holy Spirit. Through trials, hardships, and acts of service, God uses surrender to refine faith and produce spiritual maturity. This devotional reminds readers that sanctification is a lifelong process. Though dying to self is difficult, it leads to deeper fellowship with Christ, greater spiritual growth, and the abundant life Jesus promises to those who follow Him faithfully. Highlights Philippians 3:10 reveals Paul’s desire to become more like Christ through surrender. Following Jesus requires daily humility, sacrifice, and obedience. Selflessness in everyday life reflects Christ’s servant-hearted example. Jesus modeled dependence on the Father through prayer and submission. The Holy Spirit empowers believers to deny the flesh and choose God’s way. Trials and hardships can become opportunities for spiritual growth and sanctification. True life is found when believers surrender their lives fully to Christ. Do you want to listen ad-free?

Full Transcript Below: We Must Die Daily By: Emily Rose Massey Bible Reading: “…that I may know him and the power of his resurrection, and may share his sufferings, becoming like him in his death, 11 that by any means possible I may attain the resurrection from the dead” (Philippians 3:10, ESV). As a mom and wife, I am given countless opportunities to set aside my own wants and to sacrifice my love, time, and attention to my husband and children's needs. Pouring yourself out like that on a daily basis can sometimes be physically exhausting; I find myself praying for supernatural strength often! Yet, at the end of the day, even though I am tempted to wonder where my “me time” is, my heart is always full. This is when I begin to see more clearly what the Apostle Paul meant when he said: “I die daily.” The Biblical principle of dying to yourself has always been true, but I didn’t always live it or even understand it. Becoming a stay-at-home mom has challenged me in more ways than I can count in the area of putting others before myself, and I am always learning and finding that it is truly more blessed to give than to receive. As Jesus’ disciples, we are called to follow Him. That was Paul’s mission in life – to imitate Christ. And it is what he and the rest of the apostles literally gave their lives to preach to the world through their words and actions. We may not ever get the honor to literally die for Jesus Christ because of our faith in Him, but by God’s grace, we can imitate His selflessness every day. The apostle Paul emphasizes his great desire to join Christ in His suffering and become like Christ in his daily dying of self: “…that I may know him and the power of his resurrection, and may share his sufferings, becoming like him in his death, that by any means possible I may attain the resurrection from the dead” (Philippians 3:10, ESV). Intersecting Faith and Life: To be able to imitate Christ and enjoy this kind of fellowship with Him, we must look to Jesus as our example. Even though Jesus was God in the flesh, He still leaned upon God the Father for everything He said and did while He walked this earth. Jesus would rise early to pray and seek God for His will for the day. In addition to seeking God in prayer, Jesus obediently submitted Himself to the will of the Father, even unto death. Each day, we are faced with the temptation to satisfy our flesh and go outside the boundaries of God’s perfect will. We discover what that will is when we read the Bible and study it for ourselves to learn God’s ways. We are not perfect, but thankfully, Jesus was, and because of His sacrifice on the cross, we have been given the precious gift of the Holy Spirit as born-again believers. The characteristics of Jesus’ death should be the characteristics of our lives: humility, sacrifice, and glory to God through disciple-making. Ultimately, Jesus did not come to be served, but to serve others (Mark 10:45). Jesus ministered to thousands upon thousands of people during His time here on earth. John 22 tells us that if all the things Jesus did were written down, the entire world could not contain the books that would be written! Dying daily definitely isn’t easy, but it is worth it because Jesus promises us that whoever loses his life will find it and find it abundantly (Matthew 10:39, John 10:10)! But remember, we cannot die daily in our own strength, friends. The Holy Spirit is who empowers us to choose God’s way through the fruit of the Spirit (Galatians 5:22-23). With each passing day, by God’s grace, we mature and cultivate a life worth dying for, a life found in Christ alone! Living like Christ’s dying is a continual process of humility and sacrifice. May God empower us to die daily and choose others above ourselves. Our flesh wants nothing to do with denying it of anything. We don’t want to experience suffering. But it is in those moments of dying to self that you become more like Christ. What are the difficulties and trials you are currently facing? Ask the Lord to help you embrace those trials and sufferings so that you may grow closer to Him. Let us seek to look like Christ’s dying by learning how to be humble and sacrificial. Instead of resisting those difficult times, ask the Lord to help you to find great opportunities for sanctification to be conformed to the image of Christ Jesus and lean into His grace through the trial.

Introduction Philippians 2:3-8 - You'll never find a more selfless person than Jesus! First, the hard part: diagnosing selfishness in myself…

This is the Q&A from after the talk sponsored by the Hindu Council of Australia in cooperation with the Australian School of Meditation and Yoga.The question was whether there is a distinction between Dharma and Sanatana Dharma? Acharya das concludes this Q&A session with the clarification that Sanatana Dharma is eternal and represents the soul's nature fully expressed in the spiritual dimension, and self-realization is accessible to everyone, as it is the uncovering of their eternal nature rather than being reserved for special individuals.The discussion covers sadhana (spiritual practice) as the means to attain spiritual goals, with meditation on spiritual sounds as the foundational practice. The teacher uses the analogy of fog being burned away by sunlight to describe how regular spiritual practice gradually reveals spiritual clarity and identity. Key components include meditation/chanting, cultivation of yoga wisdom (atma jnana), and spiritual association (sangha). Acharya das also addresses the transformation from ego-centered consciousness to God-centered consciousness, describing the journey from seeing oneself as the central enjoying agent to becoming an eternal servant of God.Chapters 00:00:00 Audience member sharing their understanding of Dharma 00:02:59 Progressive Nature of Vedic Dharma and Spiritual Advancement ‎ 00:06:53 Sadhana: The Practical Path to Self-Realization ‎ 00:10:37 Essential Elements of Spiritual Practice‎ 00:14:04 Transformation from Ego-Centered to God-Centered Consciousness ‎ 00:16:38 The Journey from Self-Centeredness to Selflessness ‎ 00:20:30 Practical Spiritual Living and Modern Challenges ‎ 00:23:31 Developing Consciousness and Introspection ‎ 00:27:41 Emotional Regulation and Practical Wisdom ‎ 00:29:27 The Eternal Nature of Sanatana Dharma ‎ 00:31:37 Universal Accessibility of Self-Realization ‎ 00:32:33 Concluding with Transcendental Sound Practice

Captain Brad Geary joins Sean Noble and Chris Clements for one of the most powerful conversations Light Beer Dark Money has had to date — a discussion about SEAL culture, leadership, faith, suffering, and what happens when telling the truth costs you everything. Brad Geary, a retired Navy SEAL captain and former commander at the SEAL training command in Coronado, walks through his path from competitive swimmer to the Naval Academy to a 25-year career in the Teams. What began as a “five years and out” plan turned into a lifetime of service after 9/11 changed everything. Along the way, Brad and his wife Amy built a family, navigated the extraordinary pressure of the SEAL lifestyle, and kept making the decision to serve two years at a time. But this episode goes way beyond military biography. Brad explains why so many people misunderstand what the SEALs are really selecting for. It's not just physical toughness — it's what suffering reveals. Character. Selflessness. Team loyalty. The willingness to get back up after failure. The ability to endure without becoming selfish or bitter. He makes the case that the real value of BUD/S is not the mythology around pain, but the way pain strips away ego and exposes who a person really is. That leads into one of the deepest parts of the conversation: suffering itself. Brad draws a direct line between SEAL training and the Christian understanding of suffering — that it is not merely something happening to us, but often something happening for us. He talks about Romans, the Book of James, the growth that comes through hardship, and why leadership, parenting, marriage, and faith all demand the humility to say the five most powerful words in the world: “I'm sorry. Please forgive me.” Then comes the story that made Brad's name known far beyond the military: the death of a BUD/S candidate under his command, the controversy that followed, and the political and institutional pressure to bury the truth. Brad explains how evidence pointed to performance-enhancing drugs as a major factor, how investigations were steered away from that reality, and how the blame shifted onto him, his instructors, and his medical teams. What followed was not just a career-ending battle — it was a test of moral courage. Would he protect himself? Would he stay quiet? Or would he stand up for truth, even against the institution he still loved? Brad's answer is the heart of this episode. He talks candidly about leadership, hypocrisy, institutional ego, the fear leaders have of admitting fault, and the damage done when organizations refuse to apologize. He also makes clear that this is not a revenge story. It's a story about reconciliation, learning, and a desire to help institutions get better by telling the truth about where they failed. The episode closes with Brad's next chapter: keynote speaking, leadership consulting, his forthcoming memoir Hard Mind, Soft Heart, and a mission to help leaders, families, and organizations learn the lessons he paid dearly to understand. This is an episode about faith, freedom, free enterprise — and the character it takes to live them when the cost is real.

Welcome back to the podcast. Chris here! Today I'm sitting down with someone who has become not just a client, but a coach and a friend—Ben Brown. And if there's one thing I want you to take from this conversation, it's this: your health isn't just about how you look… it determines how you show up in your life. One of the first things we got into was why health is often the first thing to fall off for parents. And honestly, it makes sense. The moment you have kids, your priorities shift. You want to give everything to your family. But what we talked about is how that can actually become counterproductive. Because if you're not taking care of yourself, you're not showing up as your best for the people who matter most. It's that simple but hard truth: taking care of yourself isn't selfish—it's one of the most selfless things you can do. We also talked about something that I think a lot of people need to hear: most of us don't have a time problem—we have a commitment problem. It's really easy to say "I don't have time" or "I'm too busy," but when you actually look at your day, there are always opportunities. Whether it's getting up a little earlier, going for a walk during your kid's practice, or simply being more intentional with how you spend your evenings, there are small decisions available to all of us that can start to shift everything. Ben shared a really practical way to think about this, which I loved—having a "floor" and a "ceiling." Your ceiling is what you'd love to do on your best days. But your floor is what you commit to no matter what. And for a lot of people, that can be as simple as moving your body every day, creating some structure around your eating, and prioritizing your sleep. Those small, consistent actions start to build something much bigger: a new identity. And that's really what this comes down to. More is caught than taught. Your kids are always watching. Your health will either allow you to fully participate in your life—or it will force you to sit on the sidelines. So the question isn't just "Do I want to be healthier?" It's "Who do I want to be for my family?" Because when you start to answer that honestly, the decisions you need to make become a lot more clear.   LINKS:   All Links Family Brand!  stan.store/familybrand familybrand.com/quiz familybrand.com/retreats.   Episode Minute By Minute: 00:00 – Introducing Ben Brown and his background 01:30 – The biggest health challenge for busy parents 03:00 – Why health is often the first thing to fall off 05:00 – Selflessness vs. taking care of yourself 07:00 – Using family as an excuse (and the truth behind it) 10:00 – Time vs. commitment: what's really holding people back 13:00 – "Show me your calendar, I'll show you your priorities" 16:00 – The power of language and identity 19:00 – Practical swaps: where time is actually being lost 22:00 – Finding movement in everyday life (walking, practices, etc.) 25:00 – The "floor vs. ceiling" framework 27:00 – Where to start if you feel overwhelmed 30:00 – Building identity through small wins 33:00 – Why walking is more powerful than you think 36:00 – Leading by example as a parent 39:00 – Health determines whether you participate or observe 42:00 – Final thoughts + Ben's 30-day reset resource

This study is based on Francis Chan's Book "Crazy Love" Chapter 9Christ sacrificed everything for you. What are you sacrificing for Him? Is more time spent on yourself or is spent on Him and others. Here are six stories of people who gave their all for God. Could you live like they did? At the end of your life, what will the story be that is written about you?

(Philippians 2:1-11) - Paul exhorted the Philippians toward greater unity with one another, and in this section he - began to share examples of selfless humility which the Philippians were to imitate. The ultimate - example is found in the life of the Lord Jesus Christ. - [46 minutes]

https://teachhoops.com/ How Do You Measure the "Ripple Effect" of a Transformational Coach?Show Notes The impact of a basketball coach is rarely captured in a box score or a season record; it is found in the "20-Year Rule." A coach's true effectiveness isn't measured by the trophies on the shelf today, but by the quality of the people their players become two decades from now. Great coaches understand that the court is a "Laboratory of Life." Every missed free throw, every grueling defensive slide, and every difficult benching is an opportunity to teach Resilience, Accountability, and Selflessness. When a coach prioritizes the "Human Being" over the "Human Doing," they create a "Safe Harbor" where athletes feel empowered to fail, learn, and eventually lead. Beyond character development, a coach serves as a "Cultural Architect." They are responsible for building a mini-society where the "Collective Good" is valued above individual accolades. This is achieved through the "Power of Presence." By modeling the same work ethic and "Next Play" mentality they demand from their players, a coach establishes a standard of excellence that becomes the "DNA" of the program. In the mid-season grind, when motivation wanes, the "Trust Equity" a coach has built through consistent, honest communication is what keeps the team from fracturing. A transformational coach doesn't just "call plays"; they "call out greatness" in others that the athletes may not yet see in themselves. Finally, the impact of a coach is seen in the "Generational Transfer of Knowledge." Many athletes go on to become coaches, parents, and leaders who utilize the same "Non-Negotiables" they learned in a high school gym. This is the "Coaching Pedigree." Whether it's the discipline of being "early to be on time" or the humility to "accept a role for the win," these lessons ripples outward into the community. Use your platform to "audit" your own influence: are you just a "Tactician," or are you a "Mentor"? By treating every practice as a chance to build "Life-Long Competencies," you ensure that your impact remains long after the final buzzer of your career sounds.

The Rich and the Kingdom of God Mark 10:17-31 New Living TranslationThe Rich Man17 As Jesus was starting out on his way to Jerusalem, a man came running up to him, knelt down, and asked, “Good Teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?” 18 “Why do you call me good?” Jesus asked. “Only God is truly good. 19 But to answer your question, you know the commandments: ‘You must not murder. You must not commit adultery. You must not steal. You must not testify falsely. You must not cheat anyone. Honor your father and mother.'” 20 “Teacher,” the man replied, “I've obeyed all these commandments since I was young.” 21 Looking at the man, Jesus felt genuine love for him. “There is still one thing you haven't done,” he told him. “Go and sell all your possessions and give the money to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me.” 22 At this the man's face fell, and he went away sad, for he had many possessions. 23 Jesus looked around and said to his disciples, “How hard it is for the rich to enter the Kingdom of God!”24 This amazed them. But Jesus said again, “Dear children, it is very hard to enter the Kingdom of God. 25 In fact, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich person to enter the Kingdom of God!” 26 The disciples were astounded. “Then who in the world can be saved?” they asked. 27 Jesus looked at them intently and said, “Humanly speaking, it is impossible. But not with God. Everything is possible with God.” 28 Then Peter began to speak up. “We've given up everything to follow you,” he said. 29 “Yes,” Jesus replied, “and I assure you that everyone who has given up house or brothers or sisters or mother or father or children or property, for my sake and for the Good News, 30 will receive now in return a hundred times as many houses, brothers, sisters, mothers, children, and property—along with persecution. And in the world to come that person will have eternal life.31 But many who are the greatest now will be least important then, and those who seem least important now will be the greatest then.”  What It This Scripture Really Saying? ✅ Simple Summary:This passage teaches that following Jesus requires wholehearted trust in God rather than in wealth, possessions, or status.

What if the biggest threat to your marriage isn't communication styles, personality differences, or stress—but selfishness? In today's episode of the MY Devotional Podcast, Dr. Michael Youssef begins with the Garden of Eden, where Adam and Eve experienced complete openness—physically and spiritually—until self-centeredness invited sin and broke what God designed to be beautiful and whole. Dr. Youssef warns that selfishness remains one of Satan's most effective tools to dismantle marriages, because it turns every disagreement into a battle for comfort, control, or pride. But there is real hope. Through Jesus Christ and the power of the Holy Spirit, believers can grow into spouses who live out God's command to value others above themselves—not as a slogan, but as daily obedience. In this devotional, you'll learn what selflessness looks like in real marriage moments through three Christlike qualities: Mature: asking, “How can I sacrifice for my spouse?” instead of demanding comfort, Magnanimous: practicing generous love that seeks to understand, Malleable: choosing flexibility and mutual submission out of reverence for Christ. As husband and wife “die to self,” marriage becomes a living picture of Christ and His Church—and a testimony to resurrection power that brings new life and abundant joy.

We are all in the habit of putting obedience to God on a shelf when our political commitments come into play. We refuse to acknowledge the way our political affiliations corrupt our obedience. Few things expose this tragic truth more than our contempt for immigrants and sojourners. Young men, particularly, are prone to unyielding denunciations of immigrants. To them, Jürgen has the following exhortations:1) Look immigrants in their eyes2) Just as God always loves us but does not always like us, so we must love our neighbors even when we may not like them***Out of Our Minds Podcast: Pastors Who Say What They Think.

Renunciation is often thought of as letting go of things that do not benefit us. But is that the right understanding of “renunciation”? In this podcast, Bhante explains that in Buddhism, renunciation is not giving something up out of dissatisfaction, but joyfully letting go of what one is comfortable with out of wisdom. Drawing from historical discussions, true renunciation is not selfish or rooted in rejection, but grounded in understanding impermanence and expanding concern beyond oneself. He also clarifies how generosity lays the foundation for renunciation, as overcoming fear through compassionate giving cultivates the inner freedom needed to let go.

In this episode, spiritual director John Bruna continues his commentary on “How to Meditate on the Stages of the Path”.

Have you ever tried your best to show someone you love them… only to feel like it didn’t quite land? You did the thoughtful thing. You said the kind words. You showed up. And yet something still felt missed. This week on The Love Offering Podcast, I had the joy of sitting down with Dr. Gary Chapman to talk about his newest book, The Love Language That Matters Most. For decades, his message about the five love languages has helped millions of people better understand how to give and receive love. But as he shared in our conversation, discovering someone’s love language is only the beginning. Each love language has what he calls “dialects”—deeply personal ways love is expressed and received. Miss those nuances, and even the right language can fall flat. It was such a rich and practical conversation. We talked about: Why love often gets lost in translation—even when our intentions are good How to personalize love so it truly resonates with the people closest to us What this looks like in marriage, parenting, friendships, and even caring for aging parents How to pay attention to the subtle clues our loved ones are giving us One of my favorite reminders from Dr. Chapman was this: “The love language that matters most is the one your loved one is longing to hear.” Isn’t that simple—and yet so profound? As someone who cares deeply about loving well in our everyday lives, I found this conversation to be both grounding and hopeful. Love isn’t complicated, but it does require attentiveness. It asks us to slow down, to listen closely, and to serve the heart before us. If you’ve ever felt misunderstood—or worried that someone you love feels that way—this episode will encourage you. May the Lord give us eyes to see and ears to hear the hearts entrusted to us.

If you're in your late 30s or early 40s and feel like you should be further ahead by now, this episode is for you.In this episode, I speak with John Broadbent about why life can feel disorienting in your late 30s and 40s.

You're listening to a men's self-help podcast so it's safe to assume that you're interested in becoming more disciplined, structured, and productive. But there is a side of discipline that many of the self-help gurus won't talk to you about – when discipline becomes a liability more than an asset. My guest today, Craig Ballantyne, joins me to talk about what that even means, what it looks like, and what to do about it. We also cover why it's so important that you plan your days out months in advance, how to keep yourself from distractions but building in flexibility to your day, how much a man can get done in what he calls, "slivers of time," and why you should never paint yourself into a box you don't belong.

On episode one hundred and sixty of Holy Ghost Notes, Matt talks about attending pap's 100th birthday, and Tim gives some shotty marriage advice after celebrating 11 years of marriage with his wife. They proceed to talk about the importance of reinforcement when it comes to drumming (or just about anything in life). Matt shares some recent testimonials from his Double Bass Masterclass and encourages everyone to make it habit to encourage others. Then the guys switch gears and talk about selfishness vs. selflessness. Matt uses the example of equal time spent with family, and Tim adds his take on the freedom that accompanies selflessness and importance of having perspective.

My guest is Dr. Christof Koch, PhD, a pioneering researcher on the topic of consciousness, an investigator at the Allen Institute for Brain Science and the chief scientist at the Tiny Blue Dot Foundation. We discuss the neuroscience of consciousness—how it arises in our brain, how it shapes our identity and how we can modify and expand it. Dr. Koch explains how we all experience life through a unique “perception box,” which holds our beliefs, our memories and thus our biases about reality. We discuss how human consciousness is changed by meditation, non-sleep deep rest, psychedelics, dreams and virtual reality. We also discuss neuroplasticity (rewiring the brain), flow states and the ever-changing but also persistent aspect of the “collective consciousness” of humanity.
