Podcasts about Sincerity

Pastor Michael Kisaka challenges us to approach worship with full-hearted devotion, reminding us that God desires genuine, truth-filled responses rather than half-hearted routines.

Praise will act as a catalyst for even higher levels of success when three praise aspects are present. Stakeholders know if a leader is paying attention to what they're doing and sincere praise creates a positive feedback loop in which what gets noticed and rewarded gets magnified. The three aspects are:sinceritytimeliness andspecificityLet's explore in more depth...More infoForbes: recognition - the key to 2025 employee engagement?https://www.forbes.com/sites/karadennison/2024/09/13/why-recognition-could-be-the-key-to-employee-engagement-in-2025/

In this warm and wonderfully meandering episode of The Forest School Podcast, Lewis and Wem dive into The Joys and Shapes of Autistic Play by Max Alexander. Nestled among tangents about shouting sparrowhawks, jewel-encrusted slugs, and beloved sticks, they explore how Max's taxonomy of autistic play shapes offers both validation and practical insights for outdoor educators. Together, they unpack play types like pancake stacking, relational mapping, and object harmonising, and reflect on how this lens supports more inclusive, curious, and non-judgemental practice. The conversation touches on inner worlds, the limits of Bob Hughes' taxonomy, and the value of reframing behaviours through a neurodivergent-affirming perspective. With humour, honesty, and deep respect for Max's work, this episode is a love letter to the strange, sincere, and silly world of play.

Hadith 01-03: The Importance of Intention in Islam (Niyyah) | Insights from Shaykh Dr. Muhammad Salah | Zad Academy Audio | Blogpost by Zayd HajiAssalamu Alaikum. I am Zayd Haji, a student at Zad Academy. In this blog, we explore a powerful Hadith that teaches us the importance of intention (niyyah) in all our actions. This Hadith is a core principle in Islam and reminds us that every deed is judged by its intention.1. The Hadith of IntentionThe Prophet ﷺ said:"Actions are but by intentions, and every man shall have only what he intended."(Sahih al-Bukhari 1, Sahih Muslim 1907) — sunnah.comhttps://sunnah.com/bukhari:1This Hadith was narrated by Umar ibn al-Khattab (RA). It teaches us that no action is accepted by Allah unless it is done sincerely for His sake. For example, during the time of the Prophet ﷺ, some migrated from Makkah to Madinah for worldly reasons, not for Allah. Their reward was based on their intention, not the act itself.2. The Meaning of NiyyahIn Arabic, niyyah means one's aim or purpose. In Islam, it refers to doing something purely for the sake of Allah. Whether it is praying, fasting, giving charity, or seeking knowledge—without the right intention, the reward is lost.Allah says in the Qur'an:"And they were not commanded except to worship Allah, [being] sincere to Him in religion..."(Surah Al-Bayyinah 98:5) — quran.com/98/53. Sincerity in WorshipEven acts of worship like wudu, ghusl, salah, or fasting require niyyah. For instance, if someone bathes to cool off but not with the intention of purification, it doesn't count as ghusl. The intention must precede the action.4. The Danger of Showing Off (Riya)If an act is done to impress others, it becomes riya (showing off) and Allah will not accept it.The Prophet ﷺ said:"I am the One who does not need any partner. Whoever does a deed for Me and for someone else, I will leave him to the one he associated with Me."(Sahih Muslim 2985) —https://sunnah.com/muslim:2985This includes people who recite Qur'an to be praised, give charity to be called generous, or fight to be called brave. On the Day of Judgment, these people will be thrown into Hell despite their good deeds.(Sahih Muslim 1905) — https://sunnah.com/muslim:1905a5. Turning Habits into WorshipSimple daily acts like feeding your family or paying bills can become worship if done with the right intention.The Prophet ﷺ said:"Even the bite you put in your wife's mouth is rewarded when done for Allah's sake."(Sahih al-Bukhari 56, Sahih Muslim 1628) — https://sunnah.com/muslim:1628aConclusionThis Hadith of intention forms the foundation of all Islamic practice. Let us always check our hearts, renew our intentions, and strive to please Allah alone. May Allah accept our deeds and make them sincerely for Him. Ameen.

What if the path to spiritual awakening begins with burnout?In this episode, we welcome Stine, a new yoga teacher and businesswoman, who shares her journey from burnout to bhakti. Drawing from Vedic wisdom, we unpack the societal obsession with overwork and fear-driven success, and how detachment and open-hearted living can lead to true transformation.Reflecting on the Bhagavad Gita, we challenge the capitalist fixation on outcomes and share personal stories of the courage it takes to pursue a spiritually focused life—one that often feels isolating but has the power to inspire.We also touch on spiritual burnout, the importance of balance, and the role of mindfulness and mantra in daily life. It's an honest, heartfelt conversation for anyone seeking deeper purpose and a more conscious path.(0:00:00) - From Burnout to Bhakti(0:04:43) - Navigating Material Frustration and Spiritual Growth(0:18:32) - The Reality of Spiritual Burnout(0:24:43) - Sincerity of Purpose and Selfless ServiceWant to connect further?Instagram: www.instagram.com/radhika_dasa/Facebook: www.facebook.com/radhikadasmusicYouTube: www.youtube.com/c/RadhikaDasWebsite: www.radhikadas.comPatreon: www.patreon.com/radhikadasLinktree: linktr.ee/radhika_dasa

Have we made repentance too easy? We live in an instant world—instant coffee, instant messaging, instant everything. And somewhere in our convenience culture, we've tried to make repentance instant too. Just repeat after me. Quick prayer. Raised hand. Walk an aisle. Done. But here's the thing—that's not what we necessarily see in Scripture. That's not how people respond when they encounter the holiness of God and the weight of their sin. Now someone might say, “What about the thief on the cross?” Good question. Yes, he was saved in his final moments—when he cried, “Lord, remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom” (Luke 23:42). But look closer. In those few breaths, he acknowledged his guilt—“we receive the due reward of our deeds” (Luke 23:41). He declared Christ's innocence—“this man hath done nothing amiss” (Luke 23:41). And he placed his faith in Christ's kingdom. That's real repentance. Not rushed. Real. It wasn't about time. It was about the heart. Some people have years and never truly repent. The thief had moments—and did. What I'm calling “long form repentance” isn't about time on a clock. It's about depth. Sincerity. Transformation.

Jesus teaches us to use direct language that avoids making rash vows and focuses instead on truth, sincerity, and conviction. (Lectionary #364) June 14, 2025 - Cathedral Rectory - Superior, WI Fr. Andrew Ricci - www.studyprayserve.com  

Read OnlineJesus said to his disciples: “You have heard that it was said to your ancestors, Do not take a false oath, but make good to the Lord all that you vow. But I say to you, do not swear at all…” Matthew 5:33–34The purpose of an oath was to guarantee the truthfulness of the statement made. Sometimes this can be very good. For example, many of the Sacraments involve making a public vow before God and the Church. In these cases, the vow is a form of oath that is solemnized so as to invite the grace of God to enter and strengthen it. It becomes a way of making a public witness to one's faith and an expression of one's need for God's grace to be faithful to the promise that is made. Jesus is not speaking about these forms of public vows, oaths and promises in the Gospel today. Instead, He is addressing a practice that some engaged in, whereby they regularly swore on God's name about the truthfulness of what they were saying. The problem with this is that it takes something solemn and sacred and carelessly turns it into something ordinary. There is no need to “swear to God” about everything one says. First of all, if one feels a need to call on God's name regularly so as to convince another of the truthfulness of their statements, then it is most likely the case that they do so because they are struggling with dishonesty. Oath-taking on a regular basis seems to presuppose a human tendency to lie. For that reason, it is not ideal to go about one's daily interactions with this presupposition. Instead, as Christians we must strive for a fundamental disposition of truthfulness. Jesus concludes this Gospel teaching by saying, “Let your ‘Yes' mean ‘Yes,' and your ‘No' mean ‘No.' Anything more is from the Evil One.” In other words, work to become a person of true honesty and integrity. Be sincere in all of your dealings, and do not begin with a presupposition of dishonesty. Begin with the intention of complete honesty and sincerity, and that will suffice. Furthermore, if one were to go about their day making one oath after another, swearing on God's name to the truthfulness every time, this would have the effect of lessening the solemnity of those few times when this is a good and holy practice. Making public vows, such as marriage vows, or public promises, such as priests make, are unique and solemn. Publicly renewing our faith within the Church, taking an oath as one begins the responsibility of some public office, or any other more solemn opportunity for oath-taking should be seen as a special occasion. Therefore, our daily commitments must simply be the fruit of our honesty and integrity as persons. Reflect, today, upon your own daily approach to honesty and sincerity. Do you go about your day with the goal of living in the truth, speaking the truth and seeking the truth? Are you honest with others, seeking good and clear communication with them? Ponder these questions and know that interior integrity requires these virtues of honesty and sincerity. Seek that integrity and others will benefit as they grow to trust you each and every day. Lord, You are the source of all truth, and You are Truth Itself. Please help me to become a daily instrument of that Truth in all that I say and do. I choose You and Your holy will always, and I choose to be Your instrument for all to see. Jesus, I trust in You.Image: Image via PxhereSource of content: catholic-daily-reflections.comCopyright © 2025 My Catholic Life! Inc. All rights reserved. Used with permission via RSS feed.

In this episode, Dave Thompson and Mark Anderson discuss the evolution of interview and interrogation techniques, emphasizing the importance of seeking truth over mere confessions. They explore the pressures faced by investigators, the impact of recording interviews, and the biases that can affect forensic evidence. Mark shares personal experiences that highlight the need for strategic empathy and the importance of continuous learning in the field. In this conversation, Mark Anderson and Dave Thompson discuss the intricacies of effective interviewing, emphasizing the importance of behavior, trauma awareness, and the need for active listening. They explore how planning and preparation can enhance interview outcomes and the significance of building credibility and confidence in communication. The discussion highlights the transferable skills applicable across various fields, reinforcing the idea that effective communication is essential in all interactions. Learn more about Mark here: Mark Anderson - Anderson Investigative Truths: Changing the purpose of an interview from confession-seeking to truth-seeking is crucial. Pressure on investigators often comes from leadership that doesn't understand modern techniques. Recording interviews can provide valuable insights and reduce bias. Bias in forensic evidence can be mitigated by limiting information given to forensic experts. After-action reviews can improve performance across various fields, not just law enforcement. Strategic empathy is essential in interviews, especially in sensitive cases. Old habits in interviewing can be difficult to break, but it's necessary for progress. The importance of a team approach in reviewing investigations is often overlooked. Continuous learning and adapting to new research is vital for effective interviewing. Personal experiences can shape how investigators approach sensitive topics in interviews. We need to change where we are here. Trauma has a huge effect on memory recall. Planning is indispensable for effective interviews. Sincerity breeds credibility in communication. Interviewing is a professional skill set that requires practice.

Abhay shares a conversation with Kiran Gandhi, also known as the award-winning world stage performer Madame Gandhi, as they discuss her journey of personal growth, the creative process behind her latest album 'Let Me Be Water', and the balance between power and stillness in her life. She reflects on the importance of learning, the challenges of being a multi-faceted artist, and the significance of sincerity in her music. The discussion also touches on identity, ego, and the role of trust in artistic expression.(0:00 - 3:16) introduction(3:16) Part 1 - roles and titles, life-long learning, the birth of 'Let Me Be Water'(14:29) Part 2 - musical curriculum, stillness vs. motion(27:41) Part 3 - creative energy, ego, cultivating trust(38:57) Conclusion

In this episode, we talk through the process behind our message on Matthew 5:8:“Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God.”What does it actually mean to have a pure heart?Is it about perfection? Sincerity? Honesty?We explore stories from Luke 7, the weight of unspoken expectations, and how purity might not be about getting it all right—but living with an undivided heart.And we ask: what if seeing God is less about arrival, and more about awareness?

Nothing is more important than the condition of your soul, and this timeless work offers thought-provoking insight and biblical wisdom for those who wish to store up treasure in heaven. Originally written by Puritan pastor William Dyer (1632–1696), The Strait Way to Heaven presents twenty biblical principles that lead to a life of deep repentance, unwavering faith in Christ, and true holiness. With deep insights drawn from Scripture, Dyer urges readers to forsake sin, embrace righteousness, and walk steadfastly in obedience to God. This revised and updated edition preserves the heart of Dyer's message while making his rich teachings more accessible to today's readers. Written with passionate urgency and deep pastoral care, this book serves as both a convicting call to self-examination and an encouraging guide to the joy of a life fully surrendered to the Lord. Dyer's words remind us that holiness is the only true path to happiness and that the narrow road of faith leads to eternal life. Whether you are seeking a deeper relationship with Christ or a better understanding of the Christian walk, The Strait Way to Heaven will challenge and inspire you to live with purpose, integrity, and unshakable devotion to God. About the Editor Ron Metheny is a Baptist pastor and Christian author. His published works include: Why, God? Why?! (Understanding Habakkuk), 'Twas the Devotional before Christmas: Daily Readings for Advent, and Echoes of Thunder (A Collection of Christian Quotes and Godly Wit). He lives in Kentucky.

In this episode, we talk about Chapters 2 and 3 of Rachel Cusk's Outline alongside a chapter from Williams's book Truth and Truthfulness. The chapter considers the differences between sincerity and authenticity as contending ideals of truthfulness about the self. These two ideals, on Williams's argument, entail different ways of thinking about the self. We contrast Williams's notion of authenticity with that invoked by various characters in Outline. Speaker names: • Dr. Scarlett Baron, Associate Professor in the English Department at UCL. • Alice Harberd, PhD Student in the Philosophy Department at UCL.

Welcome to this episode of The Leader's Journey Podcast, where we take a deep dive into one of the most foundational — and often fragile — elements of leadership and community: trust. In this extended conversation, we explore how trust gets broken, why it's so emotionally charged, and what it really takes to rebuild it — both in relationships and within organizations. Whether you're a leader trying to repair harm, or someone deciding whether to trust again, this conversation is for you. Converstation Overview Trust is a two-way street: Both parties play a role in either building or breaking trust. It's not about assigning equal blame, but about seeing the complexity of the system we're part of. There are different kinds of trust: Sincerity, reliability, competence, and care — and naming which one was broken matters. The emotional impact matters: It's not enough to just hear feedback; trust repair requires acknowledging and connecting to the pain your actions caused. Restoration is mutual: Even after an apology, the other person has to “let it count” for trust to begin to rebuild.. Trust takes time: Just because someone is trying to change doesn't mean trust will instantly be restored. Rebuilding is often slow, with regular check-ins along the way. Trust yourself: At the end of the day, we each have to develop trust in our own capacity to be okay, even if trust isn't fully restored with someone else.

Pope St. John Paul II outlined the four pillars of formation for seminarians back in 1992 with his apostolic exhortation Pastores dabo vobis. For years, Fr. Carter Griffin has used this framework to walk with seminarians through a program of human, spiritual, intellectual, and pastoral formation at St. John Paul II Seminary in Washington, DC. With his recent book, Forming Families, Forming Saints, Fr. Griffin brings that rich framework into the context of parenting. In this episode, he provides parents with an overview of the four pillars of formation, and offers encouragement and practical wisdom about what it means for the family to be a “domestic church.” Chapters: 5:43 Family: the domestic church 8:38 Similarities to seminary formation 10:45 Not just self-optimization 15:03 The four pillars of formation 18:30 Sincerity: the truth is never a problem 25:50 Parental expectations 30:29 A childlike relationship with God 33:48 What faith is 37:41 Introducing our children to prayer 43:42 Struggles with prayer 46:41 An apostolic approach for families 48:34 Comfortable with being different 52:52 Awareness of vocations: 11 and 11th 56:31 An outlook of hope Links: Forming Families, Forming Saints by Fr.
