Podcasts about small beginnings

Send us Fan MailIn this week's episode of Small Beginnings with Sara, we're talking about a truth many of us need to hear:The battle is not yours. It belongs to the Lord.Maybe you're facing a diagnosis, a strained relationship, a difficult decision, financial pressure, grief, or a situation that feels completely beyond your control. You've prayed, worried, planned, and tried to figure it all out—but what if God is inviting you to stop carrying a burden that was never yours to carry alone?Through the stories of Moses at the Red Sea and David facing Goliath, we'll discover two very different expressions of faith. Moses was told to stand still and watch God move. David was called to step forward and face the giant. One battle required waiting. The other required action.The wisdom is knowing the difference.We'll explore what it means to trust God in impossible situations, how to stop fighting in your own strength, stand on God's promises, and take the next step of obedience while leaving the outcome in His hands.If you've ever wondered whether God sees your struggle or if He's still working in the middle of your battle, this episode is for you.Key Scripture:"Do not be afraid or discouraged because of this vast army. For the battle is not yours, but God's." — 2 Chronicles 20:15Wherever you find yourself today—standing at a Red Sea, facing a giant, or simply weary from carrying too much—I pray this conversation reminds you that God is faithful, God is present, and God is still fighting battles on behalf of His people.

Send us Fan MailThis week on Small Beginnings with Sara, I'm sharing what God has been showing me through the storms.After weeks of heavy rain, flooding creeks, lightning, and strong winds here in Texas, a massive walnut tree behind our home lost several huge branches. The landscape changed overnight. The canopy opened. The birds and squirrels noticed it immediately. And standing there beneath those broken branches, I felt God whisper something so deeply to my heart:“Sometimes when the storms come, they remove what was blocking your view of Me.”In this episode, I share about the reality that storms will come in life. Grief comes. Loss comes. Disappointment comes. But the question is not if storms will come. The question is: What are we anchored to when they do?We dive into the powerful words of Habakkuk 3:17–19:“Though the fig tree does not bud… yet I will rejoice in the Lord.”Even when nothing visible looks fruitful…Even when prayers feel unanswered…Even when the fields feel empty…Yet I will rejoice.I talk about the difference between thanksgiving and praise, how thanksgiving remembers God's faithfulness, and how praise declares who He is, regardless of our circumstances. Sometimes praise is a sacrifice. Sometimes it is worship in the middle of heartbreak. Sometimes it is thanking God before the breakthrough ever comes.This episode is a reminder that storms may change the landscape, but they never change the faithfulness of God.If you are walking through uncertainty, grief, waiting, or a hard season, I pray this episode encourages you to anchor yourself in thanksgiving and praise and reminds you that God is still steady in the middle of the storm.New episodes every Thursday on Small Beginnings with Sara.

Send us Fan MailThis week, I've been reflecting on something I believe so deeply right now:Do not despise your small beginnings.Sometimes we think God only moves in the big moments, the breakthrough moments, the dramatic moments…but so often, He is working quietly in the small, hidden places first.In this episode, I'm sharing five things God has been teaching me lately, from returning to exercise after almost two years away, to walking alongside friends through grief, to learning the importance of margin and making room for His presence.I talk about how strength returns, how grief reminds us of the nearness of Jesus, why overflow only happens when we stay connected to the Vine, and how gratitude changes the way we see everything.Scriptures woven throughout this episode include:• Isaiah 40:31• Zechariah 4:10• Romans 12:15• Psalm 34:18• John 15:5• 2 Corinthians 2:15• 1 Thessalonians 5:18If you've been feeling weary, stretched thin, discouraged by slow progress, or wondering if the small things matter… this episode is for you.God rejoices to see the work begin.And friend, He is not finished with your story yet.Be sure to subscribe to Small Beginnings with Sara, and if you're longing to reconnect with God through creativity, my courses and creative devotionals are linked for you as well.

Day 138 — The Parable of the Mustard Seed

Our small efforts to become the people Jesus saved us to be might seem insignificant, but small efforts compound.

KFSW is celebrating its 25th anniversary! Pastor Judith and Pastor Andrea share their amazing story of how KFSW came into being and our vision as a church based on God's promise to us from Ezekiel 37:10. What a journey it has been and the faithfulness and amazing works of the Lord can been seen in every season. We look forward to the 'greater years' to come (Haggai 2:9).

All these with one accord were devoting themselves to prayer, together with the women and Mary the mother of Jesus, and His brothers … the company of persons was in all about 120.” (Acts 1:14, 15b).

Send us Fan MailIn this episode of Small Beginnings with Sara, I'm sharing reflections from my recent trip to Poland and North Cyprus, and all the unexpected ways I encountered God's presence along the way.There were moments of beauty, moments of grief, moments of stillness, and moments where I had to trust God in places that felt unfamiliar and uncertain. I found myself thinking so much about the scripture in Deuteronomy 31:8, “The Lord himself goes before you and will be with you.”Sometimes we walk into new seasons carrying questions, exhaustion, grief, or even fear of the unknown. But I'm reminded again that God never asks us to go somewhere He hasn't already gone before us.In this episode, I talk about what it means to mourn with those who mourn, to find rest in Jesus, and to slow down long enough to recognize God's voice and presence, even while traveling across the world.If you're walking through a season that feels uncertain, heavy, or stretching you beyond what feels comfortable, I pray this conversation reminds you that you are not alone. God is already there.Scriptures referenced:Deuteronomy 31:8Romans 12:15Matthew 5:4Matthew 11:28–30Psalm 46:10Listen now wherever you stream podcasts.

Send us Fan MailWhat if the life you've been longing for isn't found in doing more for yourself… but in quietly pouring yourself out for others?In this episode, I'm sharing what it really looks like to live “less of me, more of You.” Not as a lofty idea, but as a daily, practical way of walking with God.Jesus didn't just teach service, He lived it. And I've found that when I follow His lead, even in the smallest acts, something shifts in my heart. The text message, the phone call, the card, the moment of stopping for someone else, it becomes more than kindness, it becomes an encounter with God.We'll talk about how serving others pulls us out of our own thoughts, softens our hearts, and becomes one of the clearest ways we reflect His love to the world.Scriptures like Acts 20:35, Philippians 2, and Matthew 5 remind me that this kind of life isn't about recognition, it's about obedience… and there is so much blessing in it.I want to gently challenge you this week: Ask God each morning, “Who needs Your love through me today?” And then simply say yes.You might be surprised how He answers… and how He meets you right there in the middle of it.

Send us Fan MailHave you ever noticed how a fragrance can fill an entire room before you even see where it came from?In this episode, I'm sharing a powerful Holy Week reflection on what it means to carry the fragrance of Jesus in our everyday lives.We'll walk through the story in Mark 14, where a woman breaks open her alabaster jar and pours out costly perfume at the feet of Jesus. In her surrender, the fragrance filled the room—and revealed something deeper about worship, sacrifice, and love.Together, we'll explore: • Why the fragrance is released through breaking • How Jesus was broken and poured out for us • How our lives become a pleasing aroma when we surrender • The powerful role creativity plays in carrying His presenceI truly believe this: We don't carry His fragrance by striving… we carry it by surrender.Whether it's through painting, cooking, creating, or simply loving others well, your life can release something eternal.So I want to ask you… What is your alabaster jar?If this message stirs something in you, come go deeper with me on the Small Beginnings with Sara podcast, and if you're ready to step into healing through creativity, explore The Creative Healing Bundle—it's one of the most powerful ways I've seen God meet people right where they are.

What if the small, overlooked things in your life are actually where God is building something great? In this episode of Youth Worker On Fire, Doug Edwards shares a powerful message on faithfulness, small beginnings, and trusting God with the process—drawing from real-life ministry experiences, leadership lessons, and biblical truth. From cutting down an overgrown baseball field in the Dominican Republic with a push mower… to learning responsibility as a kid… to watching God grow small opportunities into something much bigger—this episode is a reminder that God often starts with what seems insignificant.

Mark shows us “the beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ” (v. 1). After introducing John the Baptist, he includes three (really four) foundational scenes that mark the beginning movement of the gospel—from the lips of Jesus to those who followed Him and then took it around the world.I. Identification (v. 9)II. Confirmation (vv. 10-11)III. Confrontation (vv. 12-13)IV. Proclamation (vv. 14-15)Learn Your Bible: What does this passage teach you about how God works before great things begin?Love Your Neighbor: Share the gospel with a friend or family member this week—or simply invite them to our Good Friday and Easter services.Live in Freedom: What step of obedience is God calling you to take so you can walk in freedom and purpose as you follow Jesus?Talk with kids: Why do we have to turn from our sin to trust Jesus as Savior?

Send us Fan MailHave you ever ended a full day… and still felt like it wasn't enough?In this episode, I share what God has been gently teaching me about stepping out of the pressure to do more, achieve more, and be more… and into the freedom of enough.We'll explore the beauty of Sabbath rest, not as a rule—but as an invitation. An invitation to slow down, to be present, and to receive instead of strive.I also share a personal moment from my time in Italy, where God met me in a question that changed everything: “Am I not enough for you?”Through Scripture and real-life reflection, we'll uncover a better way to live—one rooted in peace, contentment, and trust.If your heart has been feeling stretched thin or caught in the cycle of “not enough,” this episode is for you.Come breathe again. Come be reminded…God is enough. And in Him, you already have enough.

Most of us feel like we're about to drown in the deep sea of life's uncertainties — but what if those uncharted waters are God's way of revealing your greatest breakthrough? Pastor Steve Perez dives into the raw truth: stepping into the unknown with faith isn't just risky — it's revolutionary. When everything seems small and insignificant, God is quietly sowing the seeds of something monumental in your life. The journey from a tiny mustard seed to a mighty tree isn't just a biblical metaphor — it's your divine destiny.You'll discover the power of small beginnings and why God delights in the tiny steps you take every day. Pastor breaks down how even the most insignificant moments — a prayer, a kind word, a small act of obedience — are the building blocks of your future greatness. He shares stories of biblical heroes and ordinary people whose faithfulness in the little things shifted entire families, communities, and even generations. This episode is a wake-up call: don't despise the small. Heaven celebrates your smallest seeds because, with God, those seeds grow into bigger-than-life miracles.We unpack: why the “impressive” doesn't impress God, how to trust Him when the future looks uncertain, and why your obedience today might be the most powerful act of faith you've ever committed. You'll leave inspired to embrace the process, plant your mustard seed, and boldly step into the deep waters of God's plan. Remember — your small begins are sacred in His eyes, and the moment you start, heaven rejoices.This is not just another message. It's a divine invitation — a call to trust the process, reject comparison, and realize that what feels too tiny to matter is actually the foundation for your greatest breakthrough. If you're ready to see how God transforms small steps into big miracles, hit play now. Your voyage to the deep starts here, and the treasures awaiting you are beyond what you can imagine.Pastor Steve Perez | March 22, 2026The Fountain Apostolic ChurchSOW (2026)Learn more at tfachurch.com/plus

Send us Fan MailThere are moments in life when we are standing at the edge of something impossible.And in Scripture, we see this twice—once at the Red Sea, and once at the Jordan River.Both times, God made a way.Both times, His people walked on dry ground.But the way He moved was completely different.At the Red Sea, God moved before they did. He made a way where there was none.But at the Jordan River, God asked them to step first— into uncertain, overflowing waters— before the miracle came.And I believe this speaks directly to the seasons we walk through today.Sometimes God clears the path so clearly, we can't miss it.And other times… He invites us into a deeper kind of faith—the kind that requires a step before we see.I share how this has been unfolding even in my own life—through something as unexpected as learning to play golf,and how small adjustments, a teachable heart, and simple obediencecan open the door to growth we didn't even realize we needed.Maybe you're in a Red Sea season.Or maybe you're standing at the edge of a Jordan River moment.Either way, God is still speaking.He is still moving.And He is still making a way.Listen to this week's episode of Small Beginnings with Sara and be encouraged to trust Him— whether He's parting the waters ahead of you… or inviting you to step in first.

What does it look like to spend a lifetime investing in students—and watch that impact reach across generations and around the world? In this powerful episode of Youth Worker On Fire, Doug Edwards sits down with legendary youth ministry leader Dr. Jay Strack for an unforgettable conversation on leadership, calling, and long-term ministry impact. From his early days speaking in small rooms to influencing leaders on a global stage, Dr. Strack shares how God uses faithfulness, relationships, and simple obedience to shape a life that truly makes a difference. Doug and Dr. Strack also reflect on their recent time together in Israel during the Ambassador Summit 2025, offering unique perspective on leadership, influence, and what happens when ministry leaders step into moments bigger than themselves. But this episode goes far beyond one trip—it's about the journey of saying "yes" to God over and over again.

Send a textHave you ever paused in the middle of a full, beautiful life and asked yourself a deeper question, Am I living intentionally?In this episode of Small Beginnings with Sara, I reflect on what it means to live with purpose instead of simply reacting to life. Our calendars can fill quickly, but when we pause to ask God what truly matters in this season, everything begins to shift.Scripture reminds us in Ephesians 5:15–16 to live wisely and make the most of every opportunity. One way we do that is by identifying the purposes God has placed in front of us right now.In this conversation, I share the six purposes guiding my current season of life: • Communion with God • Loving my husband well • Investing in my children and grandchildren • Friendship and hospitality • Living with margin so I can serve others • Taking care of the body God gave meEach season carries different priorities, and when we recognize them, our days begin to align with what matters most.If you've been longing for more clarity, peace, and intentional living, this episode will encourage you to slow down, seek God's voice, and allow Him to shape how you spend your time, energy, and love.

Send a textThere is something about the changing of seasons that feels like God speaking softly to our hearts.Spring is just beginning to show itself where I live. The birds are singing in the mornings, tiny green shoots are pushing through the soil, and the mountain laurel is starting to bloom. It's not fully spring yet, but you can sense that something new is beginning.And I love how often God works the same way in our lives.In this episode of Small Beginnings with Sara, I share what the first signs of spring have been teaching me about the way God brings renewal to our hearts.We'll talk about noticing the small beginnings of a new season, pulling the weeds while they are small, and allowing God to prune what is old so new growth can flourish.Song of Solomon reminds us,“See! The winter is past… flowers appear on the earth; the season of singing has come.”Maybe the first signs of spring are already showing up in your life.Together we'll reflect on how to slow down, notice where God is working, and make space for the new things He is growing.Because sometimes the most beautiful seasons begin with the smallest signs.

THE POWER OF SMALL BEGINNINGS

Not every transformation begins with spectacle.Some of the most decisive shifts in life and civilisation actually begin quietly — in thought, in conviction, in the unseen and deep places of the heart.Jesus taught us that the Kingdom of God is like a seed. Small at first. Hidden like yeast; Yet carrying within it the power to reshape everything.What appears insignificant may already be very significant in God's hands. What seems hidden may already be mightily at work behind the scenes.

THE POWER OF SMALL BEGINNINGS

Many of us come from small, impossible beginnings. We have to fight through so much trauma and drama to get to a good place - and in that fight we learn so much about ourselves and about other people that shapes us and helps us move past the hurt and pain. And through all of that, we begin to realize that God was with us. He is with us now, and He will never leave us. We begin to understand that He protected us, helped us, encouraged us through all of it - and He is still doing that today because He loves each one of us so, so much. He knows our struggles and our pain, and He longs to take us from our small beginning to His abundance of overflow. Are you ready for it?

Blessings can be beautiful… and exhausting.In this episode of Small Beginnings with Sara, I'm sharing what it looks like to pause in the middle of transition, to name what we've been carrying, and to remember that rest isn't a reward, it's a relationship with Jesus.He restores before He redirects. He invites us to come, not accomplish.If your soul feels heavy or hurried, this episode is your gentle reminder to slow down and listen.✨ Tune in to Small Beginnings with Sara and come away with Him.

In 1848, engineer Charles Ellet Jr. puzzled over how to begin the process of constructing the first bridge over the Niagara Falls gorge. How would they get a cable across the river? Prompted by a dream, Charles decided to host a kite-flying contest: whomever could land a kite on the other side would receive five dollars. It was won by American teenager Homan Walsh when his kite landed on the Canadian side of the river. Homan’s kite string was secured to a tree and used to pull a light cord back across the river. Progressively heavier cords were pulled back and forth until heavy wire cable was in place. This was the small beginning of the construction of the Niagara Falls Suspension Bridge. The bridge’s challenges and inauspicious beginnings mirror those faced by those working to rebuild God’s temple after returning from captivity in Babylon. An angel awakened the prophet Zechariah with a message that nothing would thwart God’s work—it would all be accomplished “by [His] Spirit” (Zechariah 4:6). Some of those who’d seen the temple in its previous glory were fearful that the rebuilt version would pale in comparison (Ezra 3:12). The angel encouraged Zechariah that they shouldn’t “despise the day of small things” because God would “rejoice” in seeing the work begun (v. 10). Even though the tasks God has appointed to us may seem insignificant, we can be encouraged knowing He uses small things—like kite strings—to accomplish His great works.

Send us a textIn this episode of Small Beginnings, I'm sharing why God invites us to speak our prayers out loud, not because He needs to hear them, but because something shifts when we do.Our voices carry authority. Spoken truth changes atmospheres. And when we speak God's Word, faith rises and darkness retreats.We'll talk about:Why reading Scripture out loud mattersWhat fear, shame, or silence may have sealed our lipsHow unlocking our voice often unlocks creativity, healing, and praiseThis episode is a gentle invitation to stop praying silently out of fear and start speaking God's Word with trust, even in small ways.God still speaks. And sometimes, He's waiting for us to speak back. If this stirs something in you, continue the journey through Refreshing the Soul or Divine Creativity: Healing Through Painting or Journaling, where prayer, creativity, and healing meet.

Send us a textCreative resistance has been on my mind lately.That heavy feeling that shows up right when you sit down to create. The distraction. The doubt. The quiet voice that whispers, Maybe later. Maybe you're not ready. Maybe it doesn't matter.In today's episode, I'm naming that resistance for what it often is, fear, distraction, and even spiritual opposition trying to silence what God placed inside you on purpose.What if the resistance you feel isn't a sign to stop… but confirmation that what you're creating matters?We're diving into Scripture to uncover the truth that creativity isn't optional fluff or a side hobby. It's woven into who you are as someone made in the image of a Creator God. When you create, you reflect His nature. And when creativity is delayed, muted, or dismissed, the world misses out on what God intended to release through you.In this episode, we'll talk about: • Why creativity is God's idea, not yours • Why resistance shows up strongest right before breakthroughs • The lies that quietly block obedience, like perfectionism, comparison, and “I'll do it later” • How to overcome resistance with both spiritual truth and practical action • Why creating with God becomes both worship and warfareI also invite you into a gentle moment of reflection, asking: What has God been nudging you to create? Where have you felt resistance? What would obedience, not perfection, look like today?If you've been feeling stuck, weary, or hesitant to begin again, let this episode be your confirmation: What God placed in you is worth protecting, nurturing, and releasing.

Send us a textLately, I've been asking God for His rhythm, not more hustle, not a faster pace, but His way of walking through my days.In this episode, I share five simple, Scripture-rooted thoughts that have been helping me slow down and listen again. From numbering our days with wisdom, to trusting God for daily grace, to learning when to withdraw, rest, and simply be with Him, this conversation is an invitation to stop rushing ahead and start walking with God, one step at a time.God doesn't usually reveal the whole path. He lights the next step. And somehow, that's enough.If you've been feeling weary, overwhelmed, or unsure of what's next, this episode is a reminder that God's grace is not forced, it's formed over time through small, faithful obedience. This year isn't about striving harder. It's about walking closer.Pull up a chair, take a breath, and let's learn together how to live in the unforced rhythms of grace.

In Part 2 of Enthusiasm That Endures, Jayme Elizabeth continues the conversation by showing how the next two keys protect and fuel Holy Spirit–led enthusiasm long after motivation wears off.While motivation responds to feelings, discipline responds to obedience. Discipline will take you where Motivation can't. And gratitude shifts your focus from lack to abundance—creating room for increase, faith, and endurance. In this episode, Jayme shares biblical insight and practical wisdom on how daily gratitude and discipline keep you aligned with God's purpose, even when progress feels slow.This episode is for anyone who wants to pursue what God has started in them and walk out 2026 with consistency, growth, and spiritual strength.

Send us a textAs we step into a new year, I've been sitting with this truth: new calendars don't create new lives—renewed minds do.In today's episode of Small Beginnings, I'm anchoring us in Romans 12:2 and unpacking what it really means to be transformed—not by trying harder, but by allowing the Holy Spirit to renew the way we think.So many of us are praying for new results while holding on to old patterns. Scripture doesn't call us to self-help, it calls us to Spirit-led transformation. When our thinking changes, our choices change. And when our choices change, our lives follow.We'll talk about:Why transformation starts between the ears, not in our circumstancesWhat the original Greek reveals about being conformed vs transformedHow the Holy Spirit partners with us to renovate worn-out thought patternsWhy discernment comes after renewal, not beforeAnd how small, obedient shifts in thinking can lead to big, lasting changeIf you've felt stuck, frustrated, or like you're carrying the same struggles into a new year, this episode is for you. God isn't asking you to control your thoughts—He's inviting you to cooperate with His Spirit and think differently so you can live differently.✨ A new year doesn't change your life—but a renewed mind does.If God has been stirring something creative in you, whether through painting, journaling, cooking, or simply slowing down to listen, I'd love to walk with you deeper. You can explore Divine Creativity: Healing Through Painting, Refreshing the Soul, or the full Creative Healing Bundle, all linked in my bio.Let's begin again—one renewed thought at a time.

What if the place you are standing right now is not a delay, detour, or disappointment, but holy ground?In this teaching, Pastor Matt invites us to slow down and relearn how the Kingdom actually grows. Drawing from Scripture and lived experience, this teaching dismantles the lie that significance only exists in what comes next, and reveals how heaven hides future glory inside present simplicity.Through the imagery of seeds, gardens, and promised land moments that look ordinary on the surface, we are reminded that God rejoices in beginnings, works quietly, and measures promise by presence, not appearance. This message speaks tenderly to weary hearts, confronts the roots of impatience and critical striving, and calls us back to beloved identity and trust in the faithful Gardener.You are not behind. You are not late. And you are not missing it.Where you are is holy. The seed is already working. And the joy of union is available right now.

Send us a textIn today's episode of Small Beginnings with Sara, I'm talking about what it truly means to be favored by God—and why favor is often misunderstood. When we look at the lives of Mary and Jesus, we see that God's favor didn't remove uncertainty or difficulty, but it did bring purpose, presence, and peace.We'll reflect on Luke 1 and Luke 2, where favor found Mary in an ordinary moment and rested on Jesus long before His public ministry began. God's favor came before clarity, before recognition, and before the favor of man.In this episode, I share why favor with God always comes first, how peace is the evidence of living under His favor, and why we don't have to strive for approval when we are rooted in Him. If you've been feeling pressure to perform or waiting for validation, this conversation is an invitation to rest.

Send us a textIn today's episode of Small Beginnings with Sara, I'm sharing the very real, very personal journey I'm walking right now — a journey of letting go, of releasing what has held history and meaning for decades, and of trusting God as He leads me into a new season.I open my heart about packing up my life, releasing the bookcases I bought in 1986, saying goodbye to my beloved studio, and stepping into a new identity as a traveling artist. These aren't just physical changes — they're spiritual invitations. Invitations to loosen my grip, to make room for what God is preparing, and to walk by faith into places I've never been.Through the stories of Abraham, Joshua, Ruth, the Israelites, and the disciples, we explore how God has always called His people to move forward without having all the answers. And we anchor these truths with Scripture that has been holding me in this season — Isaiah 43, Ecclesiastes 3, Hebrews 11, and Psalm 121.Today's episode is about: • Letting go of the familiar so God can lead you into the new • Recognizing His gentleness in every transition • Trusting Him when your future looks different than expected • Learning to see physical release as spiritual receiving • Holding hope when you're stepping into unmarked territoryIf you are standing in your own doorway of transition, wondering how to move forward, I pray this conversation gives you courage, clarity, and companionship.
