Podcasts about simple faith

In this episode of Simple Faith, the focus is on how Jesus led and why his leadership remains influential despite never holding political office, commanding an army, owning a company, or writing a book. Drawing from John 10 and the shepherd-and-sheep image, the script highlights that Jesus' leadership began with relationship: the sheep recognize the shepherd's voice because he lived among them, guided them, protected them, and knew them by name. The key idea is that people may comply with authority, but they follow trust, and genuine influence comes from credibility and character rather than manipulation or power. Viewers are encouraged to reflect on whether others know their authority or their heart and to practice the spiritual discipline of presence by giving someone full attention in one conversation today.

Rusty George introduces the Simple Succession podcast series on Simple Faith and interviews outgoing Willow Creek Community Church pastor Dave Dummitt and his successor, Shawn Williams, about their leadership transition. Dave explains how he knew it was time to step down after about five years by evaluating a defined list of goals and considering the church's upcoming 50th anniversary, then encouraging elders to vet Shawn while maintaining the decision as an elder-led process. Shawn describes moving back to Chicagoland, joining Willow to support Dave without aiming to become senior pastor, and how a two-year early conversation and added opportunities prepared him to lead. They discuss gradual “baton passes” with staff, elders, donors, and the congregation, the increased weight Shawn felt on day one, team-structure changes he made, Dave's post-transition sabbatical-like time, and the importance of honoring each other, patience, and seeking outside counsel.

What happens when a prodigal finally comes home?In this powerful episode of Simple Faith, Pastor Ricky sits down with Randall and Canaan Massey to share a remarkable true story of faith, family reconciliation, and God's relentless grace. After 19 years of distance, addiction, broken relationships, and spiritual wandering, a father's faithful prayers were answered in a way neither of them could have imagined.Together, they discuss the pain of watching someone you love walk away from God, the challenge of trusting Him through the waiting, and the life-changing moment that led to healing between both an earthly father and a Heavenly Father. Their honest conversation offers biblical encouragement for parents praying for prodigal children, anyone struggling with addiction or shame, and those longing for restored relationships.You'll also hear practical wisdom about prayer, forgiveness, and the hope found in the Parable of the Prodigal Son, along with the story behind their new ministry designed to help families experience reconciliation and renewal.If you're searching for hope, restoration, or a reminder that no one is beyond God's reach, this episode is for you.

In Episode 204, we explore John 9:8-12 and the aftermath of one of Scripture's most remarkable healings. Jesus has healed a man who was born blind—a man everyone in the neighborhood knew as the blind beggar who sat and begged. But now he can see. And the neighbors are completely confused. Some don't even recognize him. "Isn't this the blind beggar?" "No, he just looks like him." And the man keeps saying: "Yes. I am the same one." He doesn't have a theology degree. He doesn't have all the answers. When they ask where Jesus is, he simply says: "I don't know." But what he does know—what no one can take from him—is this: "The man they call Jesus made mud and spread it over my eyes and told me, 'Go to the pool of Siloam and wash yourself.' So I went and washed, and now I can see." That's his testimony. Three sentences. Unpolished. Unashamed. Unstoppable. Through guided meditation, discover what makes this testimony so powerful. He can't explain the theology of how mud and water opened his eyes. He can't tell them where Jesus went. He doesn't have answers to every question they might ask. But he can tell them what happened to him. And nobody can argue with that. This episode explores how your story works the same way. You don't need to have all the answers. You don't need to be a theologian. You don't need to understand every doctrine or be able to defend every argument. You just need to know what Jesus did for you—and be willing to say it. Learn why the most powerful testimony is often the simplest one. The beggar's three-sentence story—what he was, what Jesus did, what is different now—is more compelling than any theological argument because it's personal, specific, and undeniable. No one can argue with your experience. No one can debate what you've lived. Discover your own "now I can see" moment—the thing Jesus has done for you that you could tell someone today, simply and honestly. Find practical steps for identifying one person in your life who needs to hear your story and crafting your testimony in three simple sentences. Learn why you don't need to wait for the perfect moment or the perfect words. The beggar didn't wait. He just kept saying: "Yes, I am the same one—and now I can see." You have a story too. And it's more powerful than you think.

The guys talk about the difference between a simple faith and a shallow faith and how studying doctrine can tempt some people to forget the former. Support the show

If you've been feeling stuck lately—like you know what you want to be doing but can't seem to get there—you're not alone. In this episode, I'm revisiting a conversation I had a few years ago that still holds up… maybe even more now. I'm sharing a few simple shifts that help you move forward when life feels full, your days are packed, and your focus feels pulled in every direction. We're aren't talking about doing more.  We are getting clear, taking one step, and learning how to move again—through a grounded, faith-centered lens. If you want more support with this, come join us in the Facebook community or get on the email list—we're working through this in real life over there. Praying this helps strengthen your heart, mind and soul today!

As we jump back into the Gospel of Matthew, we come to a confrontation between Jesus and the Pharisees. The Pharisees have a problem with what Jesus is allowing His disciples to do. You see, the religious leaders have set up a massive list of dos and don'ts about the Sabbath (Mostly don'ts). What they've done is overcomplicated the Sabbath to the point that it became a day of burden instead of a day of rest. Jesus is decluttering it. He is simplifying faith by contesting their objections. Join me as we take a look at Simple faith.———————————————————————————————If you'd like this message's notes, click the link here!

In Mark 10, we meet a blind beggar sitting on the side of the road while Jesus is passing by. His name means “son of honor” or “son of worth” — yet he's living like a beggar. In this message, we walk through the story of Blind Bartimaeus and explore the tension between who God says we are and how we often see ourselves. What does it mean that he threw off his cloak? Why does Jesus ask such a specific question — “What do you want me to do for you?” And why is it sometimes easier to believe in Jesus than it is to ask Him for something specific? Healing wasn't the end of Bartimaeus' story — following was. But following began with an honest answer to the question, “What do you want me to do for you?”   From Sunday 02.08.26

In this unforgettable episode of Simple Faith, host Rusty George sits down with worship leader and storyteller Justin Howard for a wide-ranging, deeply human conversation that moves from UFC cages to church pews—and everywhere in between.Justin opens up about his surprising past as a mixed martial arts fighter, dramatic weight loss journey, and growing up as a pastor's kid who almost walked away from faith altogether. Along the way, he shares how music—across every genre imaginable—became a sacred language that shaped his calling, from old hymns and gospel roots to James Taylor, George Jones, Rich Mullins, and beyond.The conversation weaves laughter, nostalgia, and profound moments of vulnerability, including a powerful story of hearing God's voice in the most unexpected place: a UFC gym. Together, Rusty and Justin explore what worship really is, how God meets us through art and emotion, and why faith isn't confined to a stage, a song, or a Sunday service.
