Podcasts about small groups

May 25, 2025—You want to grow. You want to change. But willpower isn't enough.This week, Duane unpacks the powerful truth in Romans 8—that real transformation happens when we stop relying on ourselves and start depending on the Spirit. If you're stuck, tired, or unsure what to do next in your faith, this sermon is for you. Freedom starts when we stop striving and start walking with God.

In this episode, Pastor Tim and Klayton discuss the importance of having a Small Group Teachers' Meeting.

Pastor Ben, Matt, Pastor Caleb, and Pastor Steve discuss Israel's desire to look to the world to solve their problems, and observe that we are a lot more like Israel than we think we are.

 Dr. Neha Deshpande (Medicine, General Internal Medicine) shares best practices for how to effectively teach in small group settings. She recommends setting the session up for success with enthusiasm, shared goals, and planned interactive components. She then provides examples of some of her favorite prompts and intentional strategies for elevating quieter voices, as well as approaches to avoid. Finally, Dr. Deshpande encourages increasing your confidence in small group teaching with continued practice and iteration. Music by Kevin MacLeod (https://incompetech.com/)

What if the words “Well done” aren't just about the end of your life—but about how you live it right now? Following Jesus changes the way we walk through every moment, big and small. Let's talk about what it really means to live for the words we long to hear.

In this powerful  episode of Thriving in the Space Between, Meghan sits down with four beautiful TIS gals—Abby, Annie, Danielle, and Courtney—who met inside TIS and have been journeying together for nearly two years.They were placed in a small group… but what unfolded went far beyond a scheduled call.Tears. Laughter. Cross-country trips. Hope trails (yes, literal ones). Hard conversations. And holy, holy friendship.They talk candidly about:What it's like to be truly seen and receivedHow growth feels less scary when it's sharedThe gift of spiritual sisterhood in singlenessWhy they never stopped meeting—long after the program ended“You don't have to explain yourself to people who've forgotten the ache. This group just gets it.”  – Courtney“These women are the sisters I always dreamed of.” – Danielle“I don't have to have my life together to be loved. These women have shown me that.” – Annie"Before TIS, I had never had the honor of sitting with someone in all the crap. And it's more beautiful than fixing it—just being able to sit with them in it." -AbbyThis conversation might be exactly what your heart has been waiting for._____________________You're invited to 2 FREE Workshops coming up this June 5 & 10!!!

rwh3may Ep.362 – Run With Horses Podcast – Accountability Podcast: rwh.podbean.com Website: www.runwithhorses.net Youtube: https://youtube.com/@rwhpodcast Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/RWHpodcast Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/rwh_podcast Twitter: https://twitter.com/RWH_podcast Author pages with links to all books on Amazon. https://www.amazon.com/stores/author/B0BCSDDVLB – James Norman Smith https://www.amazon.com/stores/author/B0BMGW51FW – Susan Jane Smith **(24:00)** Do you find it difficult to stay on track and actually do the things you know you should do? Is consistency in exercise, healthy eating, regular prayer and daily time with God a problem for you? If so, you may benefit from seeking healthy, ongoing accountability as part of your spiritual journey toward Christ-likeness. Welcome to Run With Horses! My name is Norman and my goal is to help you thrive as a follower of Jesus. The spiritual life is simple in many ways, but potentially the most difficult part of your life. God invites you to grow, to live intentionally and to join in His mission. It's very cool that we can do that together! Thank you for joining me today! “If you're new here, you can check out past episodes at runwithhorses.net. As always, I appreciate your feedback, questions, and reviews!” **(23:00 – 0:00)* * PART 1 Shout out to Radio Stations!   When the topic is accountability many people instantly run for the hills, fearing an heavy overbearing hand forcing them to do things they don't want to do and hating every minute of it. Let me ease your mind, that is not Biblical accountability! Biblical Accountability is a key tool in the life of a follower of Jesus who is seeking to grow spiritually and live according to biblical principles. It is something you invite into your relationships with other growing disciple of Jesus. We are on the same path and can help each other as we go. It's not force, it's mutual cooperation to intentionally move in the direction God is showing us. 1. Accountability to God As followers of Jesus, we are ultimately accountable to God for how we live our lives. Every believer must recognize that their actions, thoughts, and behaviors are under God's authority. Romans 14:12 2 Corinthians 5:10 2. Accountability to Fellow Believers The Bible also teaches that believers should be accountable to one another. We are not meant to walk the Christian life alone. God designed the church as a community where believers help one another grow spiritually. Galatians 6:1-2 James 5:16 3. Mutual Accountability in Spiritual Growth Spiritual growth requires intentionality, and part of that is having people in our lives who can help hold us accountable in our pursuit of holiness and spiritual maturity. Hebrews 10:24-25 Proverbs 27:17 4. Examples of Accountability in the Bible Nathan and David: A powerful example of accountability can be seen in the relationship between the prophet Nathan and King David. After David's sin with Bathsheba, God sent Nathan to confront David about his sin. Nathan's courage to hold David accountable ultimately led to David's repentance and restoration (2 Samuel 12:1-14). This example highlights how accountability often involves speaking the truth in love, even when it's difficult. Paul and Peter: The apostle Paul held Peter accountable in Galatians 2:11-14, when Peter's actions were inconsistent with the gospel. Peter was initially eating with Gentiles, but when certain Jewish believers arrived, he withdrew, fearing what they might think. Paul publicly confronted him, saying, “But when I saw that they were not straightforward about the truth of the gospel, I said to Peter before them all, ‘If you, being a Jew, live in the manner of Gentiles and not as the Jews, why do you compel Gentiles to live as Jews?'” (Galatians 2:14). This shows that accountability sometimes involves a public rebuke when necessary to uphold the truth of the gospel. Jesus and His Disciples: Jesus modeled accountability in His relationships with His disciples. He often rebuked them for their lack of faith or for misunderstanding His mission (e.g., Matthew 16:23, when He rebuked Peter, "Get behind Me, Satan!"). However, He also encouraged them to support each other, as seen in John 13:34-35, where He commanded them to love one another as He had loved them. The accountability Jesus modeled was always rooted in love and truth. 5. Personal Responsibility and the Role of the Holy Spirit Ultimately, the Holy Spirit plays a crucial role in the life of a believer as they grow spiritually. The Holy Spirit convicts believers of sin, guides them into truth, and empowers them to live out the Christian life. Accountability to the Holy Spirit is a matter of responding to His promptings and seeking His strength to live faithfully. John 14:26 Romans 8:13   **(00:00) END PART 1** **(27:00 – 5:00) BEGIN PART 2**   Seeking out accountability is a crucial aspect of spiritual growth for several reasons. It helps believers stay on track in their walk with God, provides encouragement, and ensures that they are living according to biblical principles. 1. Why Should a Person Seek Out Accountability? a. Prevents Spiritual Drift Accountability acts as a safeguard against spiritual drift. Without accountability, a person might subtly slide away from their spiritual disciplines, make compromises, or even fall into sin without realizing it. Having someone who can help point out blind spots and encourage continued growth helps keep a believer anchored in their faith. Proverbs 4:23 b. Helps Resist Temptation We all face temptations, and sometimes, the temptation to sin feels overwhelming. Accountability provides a powerful weapon to fight against temptation, as having someone to confess struggles to and ask for prayer can make a huge difference in overcoming sin. Ecclesiastes 4:9-10 c. Provides Encouragement Christian life is not a solo journey. Having others to encourage and challenge you is crucial for perseverance, especially when trials come. Accountability relationships are a source of encouragement when things feel difficult or when you're unsure about the next steps in your spiritual walk. Hebrews 10:24-25 d. Fosters Humility and Repentance Having someone who can challenge us or confront us when we're in the wrong helps us maintain a heart of humility and openness. Accountability is not just about staying in line but also about being willing to acknowledge our faults and make changes when needed. James 5:16 2. How Does Accountability Help a Person Grow? a. Encourages Discipline Spiritual growth requires intentionality and discipline. Accountability partners help set goals and hold each other to those goals. This might involve commitments to prayer, Bible reading, serving others, or other spiritual disciplines. Having someone to check in with keeps us motivated and consistent. 1 Timothy 4:7-8 b. Provides Insight and Perspective Accountability often brings perspective. We can be blind to our own shortcomings or struggles, but an accountability partner may see things we don't. They can offer valuable advice, wisdom, or scriptural insights that help us grow. Proverbs 27:17 c. Strengthens Faith When believers come together for mutual accountability, their faith grows. Seeing others live out their faith and share their experiences can inspire us to deepen our own commitment to God. It fosters a sense of camaraderie and strengthens our resolve to stay faithful. Romans 1:12 d. Promotes Holiness and Christlikeness Accountability helps keep believers focused on the goal of becoming more like Christ. The process of confessing sin, receiving correction, and being encouraged to pursue holiness creates an environment where believers can grow in their sanctification. Philippians 2:1-2 3. How Can a Person Go About Finding Ongoing Accountability Relationships? a. Start with Prayer Before seeking accountability, it's important to pray for guidance. Ask God to lead you to the right people—those who are spiritually mature and trustworthy, and who will help you grow in your faith. James 1:5 b. Look for Like-minded Individuals Seek people who are also committed to growing spiritually and living out biblical principles. Accountability works best when both parties are serious about their spiritual growth. This can include fellow church members, small group participants, or individuals from a Bible study. 2 Corinthians 6:14 c. Join a Small Group or Bible Study Small groups, Bible studies, or discipleship groups are great places to build deeper relationships where mutual accountability can happen. These groups provide a natural environment for openness, prayer, and spiritual growth. Acts 2:42 d. Approach Someone with Humility If you don't already have an accountability partner, don't be afraid to approach someone you respect spiritually and ask if they would be willing to meet regularly to hold each other accountable. Be honest about what you're seeking and humble in your approach. Proverbs 15:22 e. Be Open and Transparent The success of accountability relationships depends on openness and honesty. Be willing to share your struggles and your victories, and be open to both encouragement and correction. Ephesians 4:25 Accountability is Healthy Relationships At its core, talking about growth issues together. What we need, how we do it, what the stumbling blocks are. Asking how it's going is a rminder to keep trying! **(5:00 – 1:00)** Doctrine Today Jesus - Incarnation **(1:00)**   – “Thank you for listening today! -If you enjoyed the show you can listen to all the past shows wherever you listen to podcasts.

Pastor Ben, Matt, Pastor Caleb, and another pastoral staff member discuss Lesson 1 of the Hosea series. They introduce the book and explore the first three chapters and the shocking story they tell.

What's that thing that you return to even when you know it's not good for you. In reality, it's a poison that is wrecking you from the inside out- a sin that you have gone back to time and time again. What does life look like when you decide to turn away from the things that are robbing you from a deeper relationship with God?Join us with Pastor Mark for part two of our collection of talks: Road to Renewal.**********

Jesus feeding the five thousand is one of the few miracles recorded in all four Gospels. It is a profound revelation of God's power, compassion, and provision.

How can you say, ‘My friend, let me take the speck out of your eye,' …when you don't see the log in your own eye? You're nothing but show-offs! First, take the log out of your own eye; then you can see how to take the speck out of your friend's eye.” - Matthew 7:3-5 It's natural to easily see the faults of others while being blinded about our own flaws. Always, always start by looking in the mirror first! We struggle at relationships because we're blind to the fact that we're actually part of the problem We ALL have… - a distorted view of our own flaws - soul damage that causes a warped response - disordered desires that create dysfunction “A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another.” - John 13:34 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. - 1 Corinthians 13:4-7 Challenge: What's my part in the problem? How is hurt shaping my responses? Where am I being unfairly selfish?

Repentance begins with a long, honest look in the mirror and the courage to admit that something needs to change. You might be avoiding that look because you know what turning away will cost—what it might mean for your relationships or your sense of comfort. It might be something big, or it might seem small but still has a grip on you. Either way, true repentance begins when we recognize there's something to turn away from—and that we need God's help to do it.Join us with Pastor Mark for part one of our new collection of talks: Road to Renewal.**********

They weren't war plans, they were BATTLE plans—that's the White House's new, extremely believable spin on why J.D. Vance, Pete Hegseth and countless other Trump officials were using a Signal chat to coordinate a military strike. Jon and Max relish the idiocy of what's now become the most famous group chat in the world, and then dive into Snapchat's latest feature that's making teens even more glued to their screens. Then, the guys run through DoorDash's new partnership with micro loan company Klarna, and why it's shocking Apple allowed the Severance finale to air. Plus! Max sits down with journalist Charles Duhigg, author of Supercommunicators and host of a spinoff podcast, to talk about why connecting with people you disagree with builds stronger coalitions, and why values unify voters better than ideas

The Atlantic's bombshell story about Donald's national security principals discussing war plans on Signal chat. Pete Hegseth shared operational details. The reckless incompetence and the obvious attempt to hide the discussions. Signal can't be used on government phones. The excuses in the Senate Intelligence Committee today. Who will be fired first? One participant on the chat was in Moscow at the time. Donald had a meltdown over a Colorado painting of him. Howard Lutnik says only fraudsters complain about not receiving Social Security checks. Leland Dudek backs down. Elon and Li'l X stop by to talk about the IRS losing half a trillion dollars in tax receipts. Good news from town halls.
