Podcasts about serving others

Ask, Believe, Dream Bigger: The Greater Things Jesus Promised – John 14:12–14 In Episode 149 of Divine Table Talk, Jamie and Jane slow down and dive into just three powerful verses—John 14:12–14—where Jesus makes an astonishing promise about faith, prayer, and the “greater works” His followers will do. What did Jesus mean when He said, “Whoever believes in me will do the works I have been doing, and they will do even greater things than these”? And what do we do with His invitation to “ask me for anything in my name”? Together, Jamie and Jane explore the difference between dreaming with God and simply asking Him to bless our plans. They talk about bold prayers, surrendered dreams, expectations, and what it means to believe that God can accomplish more through our lives than we could ever manufacture on our own. Maybe we've been praying too safely. Maybe we've allowed disappointment to shrink what we're willing to ask God for. John 14 invites us to believe again, ask boldly, dream with God—and remember that ultimately, it is all for the glory of the Father. Reflection Question: Have I allowed fear, disappointment, or past unanswered prayers to make my prayers smaller—and what might God be inviting me to ask Him for again? ____________________________________ Connect with Jamie: Website: www.jamieklusacek.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jamieklusacek Connect with Jane: Website: www.janewwilliams.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/janewwilliams

## Episode Summary   When free time finally opens up, where does your heart go by default? In this episode, Ryan Swanson opens Philippians 2 and challenges us to exchange self-serving patterns for the humble, intentional service modeled by Christ. Ask God who you can serve this week, and let the mind of Christ reshape what you reach for first.   ## Topics Discussed   - The default patterns that emerge when no urgent demand controls our time - Ryan's guitar habit as a revealing picture of a personal default - Philippians 2:3–11 and the mind of Christ - Moving from selfish routines to intentional service - Helping an older neighbor carry groceries and praying with her - Serving someone in the next block of free time   ## Key Takeaways   - What we reach for in unguarded moments often reveals what has our heart. - Christ's humility calls believers to look beyond their own interests. - Real change begins by identifying self-serving defaults and yielding them to God. - Intentional service can turn ordinary free time into an opportunity to point someone to Jesus. - Ask God for one person to serve this week, then act on the answer.

On a Thursday, just before lunch, the pastor passionately reminded the seventy senior saints gathered in his church’s cinder block auditorium about the promise of their resurrection. Meanwhile, in the fellowship hall sandwiches and watermelon slices were set out, waiting to be consumed by mourners sitting on metal folding chairs placed on stained carpet. It was a perfectly normal funeral, except for the preacher. He was a well-known speaker who has preached to stadiums full of thousands. Now he was speaking just as enthusiastically to this weekday gathering. Paul told his protégé, Timothy, “Preach the word; be prepared in season and out of season . . . . discharge all the duties of your ministry” (4:2–5). All the duties. Not only the big ones performed on large stages with bright lights. Also ordinary, weekday duties. The speeches that won’t be recorded and broadcast for generations to come. The tasks that few will see. Do those well too. Because Someone is watching. Paul told Timothy he was serving “in the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who will judge the living and the dead” (4:1). Your platform may be small, but your audience could not be more important. Jesus waits expectantly for your service. Do it for Him, relying on the power of His Spirit. He will be honored as you humbly, faithfully minister to others.

EP 194: Men Over 40: Why the Strongest Men ServeWhat does real strength look like for a man over 40?Real strength after 40 isn't only about physical strength, money, status, or accomplishments. It's having the physical, mental, and emotional capacity to show up when someone you love needs you.Service means using your strength, time, experience, resources, and leadership to help carry someone else's burden without needing recognition, praise, or anything in return.And sometimes the most powerful question you can ask yourself is:Who needs me today?EP 194: Men Over 40: Why the Strongest Men ServeWhat You'll LearnWhy real strength after 40 is about more than muscles, money, and successThe difference between helping someone out of obligation and choosing to serve themWhy asking “Who needs me today?” can completely change your perspectiveHow serving others can become part of your purpose as you get olderWhy difficult seasons reveal the kind of man you've becomeWhat service has taught me while helping my mother after my father's passingWhy real masculine leadership doesn't require recognition, praise, or applauseWhy taking care of your health is NOT selfish when other people depend on youHow training, nutrition, mobility, recovery, and sleep help you remain strong enough to serveWhy Brotherhood and connection matter when life gets difficultThe central mindset shift in the episode is moving from “Why do I have to do this?” to “How can I make this person's life easier today?”Timestamps00:00 - When Life Forces You to Change Direction00:30 - Losing My Father and Navigating Grief01:15 - Why I Moved Into My Mother's Home01:47 - Helping vs. Serving: The Mindset Shift02:15 - The Question I Ask Every Morning: Who Needs Me Today?03:00 - Selling My Parents' House After My Father's Passing03:54 - Emptying a Home Filled With 60+ Years of Memories04:45 - Why You Need to Celebrate the Steps Along the Way05:15 - Finding Greater Purpose Through Service After 4006:04 - What Real Masculine Leadership Looks Like06:40 - Why You Must Take Care of Yourself While Serving Others07:00 - Resistance Bands, Mobility, Nutrition and Staying Healthy08:11 - The Alpha Action: Who Needs You Today?08:45 - Why the Strongest Men Serve Without Recognition09:15 - Brotherhood, Connection and Getting Through Difficult Seasons10:12 - Final Thoughts: Serving Is a PrivilegeNote: the transcript provides exact speaker timestamps at several points and the remaining chapter times above are approximate placements based on the transcript flow.Key TakeawaysReal strength is about being able to show up when people need youService changes your mindset from obligation to gratitudeInstead of asking, “What do I want?”, sometimes the better question is “Who needs me today?”Your 40s, 50s, and 60s will bring seasons when your family needs you to carry moreLeadership doesn't require applause, recognition, or praiseYou can put someone else's needs ahead of your comfort without abandoning your own healthYour workouts, nutrition, mobility, sleep, recovery, and mindset help keep you capable of servingTaking care of your health can be one of the greatest acts of service you give your familyYou don't need to reach the finish line before celebrating progressBrotherhood matters most when life becomes difficult

Troubled World, Untroubled Heart: Trusting Jesus When Life Feels Uncertain – John 14:1–11 In Episode 147 of Divine Table Talk, Jamie and Jane step into John 14:1–11, where Jesus speaks some of His most comforting words to His disciples: “Do not let your hearts be troubled.” Jesus knows what is coming. The disciples are facing uncertainty, confusion, and fear—yet He doesn't promise them an easy road. Instead, He gives them something greater: Himself. Together, Jamie and Jane unpack what it means to have an untroubled heart in a troubled world, why trusting God doesn't require understanding everything He's doing, and the hope found in Jesus' declaration: “I am the way, the truth, and the life.” When the world feels uncertain, our circumstances don't have to determine the condition of our hearts. Jesus invites us to trust Him, know the Father through Him, and find peace in the promise that He is preparing the way. If your heart has felt anxious, overwhelmed, or uncertain about what's ahead, John 14 is an invitation to remember who Jesus is—and why you can trust Him. What is troubling my heart right now—and what would change if I trusted Jesus with it instead of trying to control the outcome? ____________________________________ Connect with Jamie: Website: www.jamieklusacek.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jamieklusacek Connect with Jane: Website: www.janewwilliams.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/janewwilliams

Send us Fan MailIn this homily, we reflect on the Feast of the Transfiguration and the Christian calling to behold Christ and be transformed by His uncreated light.The life of St. Herman of Alaska gives us a practical example of what this transformation looks like. While St. Herman is remembered for miracles and his deep life of prayer, he is also remembered for something much more ordinary: serving those around him. He cared for orphans, taught children, advocated for indigenous people who were being abused, counseled families, worked with his hands, preached the Gospel, and served those who were vulnerable and in need.The Christian life calls us both to contemplation and to service—to seek Christ in prayer and silence, while also bringing His love to our neighbors through concrete works of mercy.May the prayers and example of St. Herman of Alaska help us to draw closer to Christ and become servants to those who need us.Christ is in our midst!Website @ https://www.st-innocent.orgInstagram @ https://www.instagram.com/st.innocentchurch/Facebook @ https://fb.me/SaintInnocentMaconGeorgia Help Support St. Innocent Orthodox Church @ https://onrealm.org/siocmacon/-/form/give/now

Faithful Through Betrayal: Love, Loyalty, and the New Commandment – John 13:18–38 In Episode 146 of Divine Table Talk, Jamie and Jane continue through John 13:18–38, where the final hours before the cross reveal both the beauty of Christ's love and the heartbreak of human failure. Jesus foretells Judas' betrayal, predicts Peter's denial, and gives His disciples a new commandment that will forever define His followers: "Love one another as I have loved you." Together, they explore how Jesus responded to betrayal with compassion, why our identity is rooted in Christ rather than our failures, and what it truly means to love others with the same grace we've received. Even in the face of rejection and abandonment, Jesus remained faithful to His mission—and He invites us to do the same. This episode is a powerful reminder that while people may disappoint us, Jesus never will. His love is stronger than betrayal, His grace is greater than our failures, and His call to love remains at the center of the Christian life. How can I reflect the love of Jesus toward someone who has hurt me, disappointed me, or failed me? ____________________________________ Connect with Jamie: Website: www.jamieklusacek.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jamieklusacek Connect with Jane: Website: www.janewwilliams.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/janewwilliams

He challenges listeners to move beyond simply showing up on Sundays and instead live as the church every day by loving Jesus, loving people, serving others, forgiving quickly, encouraging daily, and creating a culture where people can encounter grace, healing, and genuine faith.

“Send Coach John a message”I found this post and all the parts to it, as a big-time reminder for me to keep looking to get better.  It comes from Reads with Ravi (@readswithravi) and a powerful connection is this:  “Your competition isn't other people.  Your competition is: your bad habits, your distractions, your insecurities, your procrastination, your lack of discipline, your fear and your ego.”  There is a lot of truth in this for me as I found out this morning. Let's just say I was reminded about the simple fact that I have a lot to work on. I'm just glad I'm acknowledging that fact and I'm willing to do something about it.   Thanks for listening.  Please take a few moments to subscribe & share this with someone, also leave a 5 Star rating on Apple Podcasts and ITunes or other services where you find this show.  Find me on Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/coachtoexpectsuccess/   on Twitter / “X”:  @coachtosuccess   and on Instagram at:  @coachjohndaly  - My YouTube Channel is at: Coach John Daly.   Email me at: CoachJohnDalyPodcast@gmail.com     You can also head on over to https://www.coachtoexpectsuccess.com/ and get in touch with me there on my homepage along with checking out my Top Book list too.  Other things there on my site are being worked on too.  Please let me know that you are reaching out to me from my podcast.  ** I would appreciate anyone to try clicking on the top of the show notes where it says "Send us a text" to leave a few thoughts / comments / questions.  It's a new feature that I'd like to see how it works. **

“Send Coach John a message”The second piece (that I talked about yesterday) was this from a total legend.  Zig Ziglar  (@TheZigZiglar) has had tons of influence on millions and millions of people. He shared these valuable and timeless lessons:  “Skills, knowledge, character, faith, and discipline continue producing value long after material rewards fade. Every lesson you learn and every strong habit you build expands what you are capable of contributing. Investing in yourself is not only about achieving more. It is about becoming more valuable to the people you are called to serve.”  The post goes on to remind us about this pure gold thought by sharing this quote: “The greatest investment you will ever make is in the person you are becoming.”  It is becoming more and more apparent to me that if I keep striving to be my best - in all areas of my life (knowing that some days I will fall short & to give myself some grace and keep going), those that I love and care for (and total strangers) will have an easier life because of the choices I made. John O'Leary is someone you always want to keep in connection with for sure.  Click on his name above for his website - full of pure difference-making gold!!  Thanks for listening.  Please take a few moments to subscribe & share this with someone, also leave a 5 Star rating on Apple Podcasts and ITunes or other services where you find this show.  Find me on Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/coachtoexpectsuccess/   on Twitter / “X”:  @coachtosuccess   and on Instagram at:  @coachjohndaly  - My YouTube Channel is at: Coach John Daly.   Email me at: CoachJohnDalyPodcast@gmail.com     You can also head on over to https://www.coachtoexpectsuccess.com/ and get in touch with me there on my homepage along with checking out my Top Book list too.  Other things there on my site are being worked on too.  Please let me know that you are reaching out to me from my podcast.  ** I would appreciate anyone to try clicking on the top of the show notes where it says "Send us a text" to leave a few thoughts / comments / questions.  It's a new feature that I'd like to see how it works. **

The Towel and the Basin: The Heart of a Servant – John 13:1–17 In Episode 145 of Divine Table Talk, Jamie and Jane begin one of the most intimate and transformative sections of the Gospel of John. In John 13:1–17, Jesus—the King of kings—kneels to wash the feet of His disciples, revealing that true greatness in God's Kingdom is found in humble service. Together, they unpack the significance of this unforgettable moment, exploring what it means to love sacrificially, lead with humility, and serve others with the heart of Christ. Peter's struggle to accept Jesus' act of service also reminds us that following Jesus means learning both to receive His grace and to extend it to others. This episode is an invitation to exchange pride for humility, status for service, and self-centered living for the example Jesus modeled on the night before the cross. As followers of Christ, we're not just called to admire His example—we're called to live it. Who is Jesus inviting me to serve with humility this week, and am I willing to lay down my pride to love like He loved?____________________________________ Connect with Jamie: Website: www.jamieklusacek.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jamieklusacek Connect with Jane: Website: www.janewwilliams.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/janewwilliams

Throughout the Being Human series, we have explored what it means to be created in God's image and restored through Christ. This final message turns our attention to who we are becoming. As we behold Jesus, the Holy Spirit steadily transforms us into His likeness, shaping not only what we believe but who we are. Real discipleship begins in His presence, where our hearts are renewed before our hands are ever called to serve. And as His love takes root within us, it naturally overflows into humble, faithful service toward others. Loving God and loving our neighbor are never separate pursuits. They are the fruit of a life being formed by Christ, leaving behind a legacy that points the next generation and the world around us to the hope found in Him.

In this sermon, Pastor Rick continues the Facing Our Level series by teaching that our spiritual level is ultimately revealed by how we serve others. Using Jesus' teaching in Matthew 25, he explains that genuine faith is demonstrated through compassion, generosity, and a willingness to minister to those in need, while challenging believers to remove the distractions that keep them from focusing on God's priorities.

Evangelism isn't just a presentation; it's the overflow of a life shaped by Jesus. Simple conversations, attentive listening, and small acts of service can become powerful glimpses of God's kingdom breaking into ordinary moments.

Episode Summary Same-sex attraction can become an intensely lonely battle, especially when shame and fear keep a struggling believer from seeking help. In this concluding episode of the Twisted Passions series, Ryan Swanson shares three listener testimonies that point to dependence on Christ, honest accountability, wise boundaries, and a willingness to let God use a redeemed story. The episode challenges both those seeking victory and those who want to help them: condemnation alone is not enough, pride must give way to humility, and God often provides the right people to help us walk faithfully. Topics Discussed Why Christians must do more than simply preach against homosexuality Biblical identity and the way sin twists desires and emotions Turning to Christ instead of trying to overcome temptation through willpower Confiding in mature, trustworthy believers and seeking accountability Breaking the lonely cycle of pride through humility Choosing wise boundaries instead of making provision for temptation The value of godly mentorship, biblical masculinity, and biblical femininity Moving from fear and shame to a willingness to share Christ's work Using personal testimony to help others pursue victory A forthcoming series on less-discussed biblical passages about purity Key Takeaways Jesus understands temptation and remains the believer's unfailing source of strength. God often uses mature mentors, faithful friends, and accountability partners to help us walk in victory. Humility opens the door to help, while pride keeps spiritual battles hidden and isolated. Wise relationships and prudent boundaries both have a place in resisting temptation. A testimony should magnify what Christ has done rather than keep us imprisoned by shame. Victory is bigger than personal relief; God can use a surrendered life to strengthen others in the same fight.

What do the happiest people in the world have in common?According to psychotherapist and meditation teacher Bill Belanger, it's probably not what you think.In this episode of the Happier Series, I sit down with Bill to explore what both Western psychology and Buddhist philosophy teach about happiness, suffering, and compassion. Bill is the founder of Healbright and has spent more than twenty years studying meditation and Buddhist psychology, including training in monasteries in Bhutan, Nepal, and Thailand.Together, we explore why so much of our suffering comes from trying to hold onto things that are constantly changing—our children growing up, our parents aging, relationships evolving, and seasons of life coming and going. We also discuss why happiness built on external circumstances can feel so fragile, and how compassion may offer a more reliable path to wellbeing.In this episode, you'll learn:• Why Buddhist psychology views suffering as a normal part of the human experience• The difference between empathy and compassion—and why it matters• How compassion can increase happiness and reduce burnout• Why meditation plateaus are normal and what to do when they happen• A simple compassion practice you can start todayIf you've ever wished you could hold onto a moment forever, or found yourself wondering why happiness can feel so fleeting, this conversation offers a powerful and hopeful perspective on what it means to live well.

May 31, 2026 - Sunday PM Service   This episode captures a youth-led evening service featuring prayers, scripture readings, hymns, and a heartfelt message from a recent high‑school graduate. Guests and participants include closing-prayer leader Corbin, Travis, devotionals from Cooper and Maddox, and several young men leading the service. The program blends announcements, communal worship, and a Gospel-centered talk focused on living out Christlike humility. Worship included classic and contemporary songs—"Jesus Loves Me," "Mansion Over the Hilltop," "God Is So Good," "I'll Fly Away," "Higher Ground," and "You Are Holy"—along with communal prayers and the Lord's Supper. Multiple prayers asked for the sick and shut‑ins, guidance for speakers, and strength for the young leaders as they serve the congregation. Scripture readings were Philippians 2:3–5, Matthew 5:14–16, and Galatians 6:9–10. The central sermon theme examined the phrase “do nothing from selfish ambition,” contrasting worldly ambition with the call to look outward, serve others, and pursue humility. Speakers emphasized that accomplishments fade but lives touched for Christ endure, urged the congregation not to grow weary in doing good, and reminded listeners that the seeds we plant in daily acts of kindness will yield a spiritual harvest. Key takeaways: pursue ambition for Christ rather than recognition, practice quiet acts of service (even when no one is watching), let your light shine so others glorify God, and remain faithful in planting seeds of love and generosity. The episode ends with an invitation to respond to the Gospel, share prayer requests, and a closing encouragement for all listeners—especially young people—to start sowing now and live as visible reflections of God's love.   Duration 28:22
