Podcasts about small things

St. Thérèse of Lisieux discovered that holiness isn't about grand gestures — it's about small things done with great love. As a teenager, Thérèse felt every joy and sorrow so deeply it nearly overwhelmed her, until one quiet Christmas night changed her completely. Inside the Carmelite convent, she found her calling not in dramatic penances but in her Little Way — smiling at an irritating sister, offering a headache without complaint, and simply talking to Jesus the way you'd talk to a friend. "I will spend my heaven doing good on earth. I will let fall a shower of roses." Want to keep living Thérèse's story after the episode ends?

Why do we so often overlook simple ideas that could make our lives and our work just a little bit better? What if a small change, something that takes almost no effort, could create a surprisingly positive impact on the people around you? In this Pocket Sized Pep Talk, Rob introduces the idea of “Five Percent Moves,” those simple, often overlooked actions that can make a meaningful difference. From a simple to-go cup to the little things we do every day, Rob explains why he's become a collector of these small moves and why great things really can come from bringing them together. In this Pocket Sized Pep Talk, you'll learn: • What Rob means by a “Five Percent Move” and why small changes are often more powerful than we realize. • How an ordinary to-go cup inspired Rob to think differently about the impact of simple ideas. • Why people tend to dismiss small improvements when they don't appear significant enough. • Examples of Five Percent Moves that can improve virtual meetings and everyday interactions. • Why Rob considers himself a “collector” of Five Percent Moves and encourages others to look for their own. • How a series of small improvements can come together to create a much greater overall impact. • Why Vincent Van Gogh's famous observation about great things being created by a series of small things perfectly captures the power of Five Percent Moves.

Why Do I Rush Past My Feelings? Anxiety, Trauma Responses, and What Your Nervous System Is Trying to Tell You Do you find yourself rushing through uncomfortable feelings, talking faster when you're anxious, frantically trying to fix things, avoiding difficult emotions, or feeling like you just need to get past something as quickly as possible? There may be a reason. Sometimes what looks like rushing, perfectionism, avoidance, overreacting, shutting down, or trying to control everything around you can be an automatic survival response. Your nervous system may be responding to something happening today based on what it learned during an earlier experience. In this episode of Trauma Healing for Christian Women, Michelle Croyle, LPC, EMDR-Certified therapist, explains how slowing down and paying attention to your reactions can help you recognize what your nervous system may be trying to tell you. Why Do I Rush When I'm Anxious? When anxiety or a trigger hits, your nervous system may respond before your logical mind understands what's happening. You might notice yourself: Talking faster Moving faster Trying to fix everything Becoming unusually angry Feeling an urgent need to leave Avoiding uncomfortable feelings Becoming perfectionistic Shutting down or withdrawing Worrying about being judged Feeling like you're not good enough Instead of immediately asking, "How do I make this feeling stop?", it may help to become curious about why your system reacted in the first place. Could This Be a Trauma Response? Sometimes your reaction isn't only about what's happening now. Your nervous system may have learned a strategy during an earlier experience that helped you avoid rejection, criticism, embarrassment, abandonment, helplessness, or another painful experience. Maybe you learned to move faster. Maybe you tried to make everything perfect. Maybe you withdrew before someone could reject you. Maybe you learned to anticipate other people's reactions. Maybe you pushed uncomfortable emotions away so you wouldn't have to feel them. Those strategies may have served a purpose at one time. The problem comes when your nervous system continues using an old survival strategy in situations where the original threat no longer exists. Perfectionism Can Be About Safety Imagine someone is coming to your house and you suddenly feel frantic. You don't simply want to straighten up. You feel like you have to make everything perfect. What's underneath that urgency? What if someone sees how you really live? What if they judge you? What if they think you're a bad wife or mother? What if someone sees that you're not perfect? The intensity may be telling you something. Perfectionism isn't always about wanting things done well. Sometimes it can be connected to fear, criticism, rejection, vulnerability, or an old belief about what you need to do to be accepted. Why Do I Overreact to Small Things? If your emotional or physical reaction seems much bigger than the situation in front of you, consider whether something older may have been activated. You may notice: "This situation isn't actually dangerous, but my body feels like it is." That can be an important clue. A current experience can sometimes activate emotions, body sensations, beliefs, or survival responses connected to something that happened much earlier. Instead of criticizing yourself for your reaction, you can become curious about it. Slow Down and Notice When you notice yourself becoming frantic, tense, angry, avoidant, shut down, or unusually activated, slowing down may help you understand what's happening. If you feel safe enough to explore it on your own, you might ask: What am I feeling right now? What am I afraid will happen? What does this remind me of? When have I felt this way before? What am I telling myself right now? What do I believe I need to do to stay safe? Is that still true today? Sometimes slowing down allows you to see the connection between what you're doing now and what your nervous system learned to do years ago. Your Nervous System May Need New Information An old response doesn't have to remain your automatic response forever. Once you recognize the pattern, you may be able to give your nervous system a small experience that challenges the old expectation. Maybe you don't make the house perfect before your friend comes over. Maybe you stop studying once you know the material. Maybe you allow someone to see a little imperfection. Maybe you slow down instead of talking faster. Then you notice: I'm still okay. I wasn't rejected. Nobody attacked me. I didn't have to be perfect to be safe. Experiences like these can begin giving your brain and nervous system new information about what's safe now. When You Need Help Going Deeper Not every trauma response should be explored alone. If slowing down brings up overwhelming emotions, memories, body sensations, or experiences that are difficult to regulate, working with a qualified trauma therapist may help you explore what's underneath your reactions more safely. Trauma therapy can help you understand the connection between your current triggers and earlier experiences while developing healthier ways of responding in the present. You don't have to force yourself through something overwhelming in order to heal.

I greet you in Jesus' precious name! It is Tuesday morning, the 29th of September, 2026, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for today. We start in the Book of Psalms 37:4:“Delight yourself also in the Lord,And He shall give you the desires of your heart.”Then we go to Zechariah 4:10: “For who has despised the day of small things?” Then lastly, Luke 3:23: “Now Jesus Himself began His ministry at about thirty years of age,…”Do not despise small beginnings. God values small beginnings. I want to talk to mothers. Mother, look after the child God has given you. The child does not belong to you. That child belongs to God. He created that child and He has given you a tremendous privilege and honour and responsibility to bring up that child in the ways of God. Do you know, we don't hear much about Jesus for thirty years from the day He was born until He started His ministry. But who looked after Him? Yes, Mary, His mother, His earthly mother. She would have taught Him to do all kinds of things, to dress Himself in the morning, to feed Himself, to wash His face. God uses ordinary people to do His work and Mary had no idea, by that time, what Jesus was going to eventually do.Today, you don't know what your little boy or your little girl is going to grow up to be, but one thing you do know is that God has given you the privilege of helping him or her in any way that you possibly can. Never, ever despise small beginnings. God values small beginnings, so today remember, whatever you have put your hand to, do it with all your heart. Psalm 37 was also George Müller's favourite verse and he started in a little house in Bristol, looking after a couple of children and ended up with an orphanage, looking after over 10,000 children. He never asked for a penny, just remained faithful in little things, and the Lord grew it into an incredible work for His glory. So today, whatever God has given you to do, just do it with all of your heart and He will do the rest. Jesus bless you and goodbye.

No Snooze is back after summer break. In Episode 277, Dave catches you up on life and also shares the story of a small water spot in his basement that turned into a much bigger problem, what the experience revealed about his own priorities, and how easily we can ignore things that need our attention when life gets busy.

Jack closes the mini series with the idea of how God uses small beginnings to do great things in our lives. Something even as small as a mustard seed.

Welcome to today's Guided Prayer, where we invite you to find a quiet space to still your mind and body.  Guided Prayers are a daily 5–10 minute, intentionally created moment to slow down and meet with God—through scripture, reflection, and honest prayer.It's not a program you attend.It's a pathway you practice.A guided space where people can stop, breathe, and connect with Jesus—every single day.

Fr. Mike encourages us not to be discouraged about the small things happening in our lives, because just as we see through Zechariah's visions, God takes small things and turns them into great triumphs. He also touches on the dedication of Israel to rebuild the temple, and the connection between the crowing of Joshua and the crowning of Christ the King. Today's readings are Ezra 5-6, Zechariah 4-6, and Proverbs 20:8-11. For the complete reading plan, visit ascensionpress.com/bibleinayear. Please note: The Bible contains adult themes that may not be suitable for children - parental discretion is advised.

Life rarely falls apart in dramatic moments — it frays in the tiny ones. A coworker who keeps taking over your tasks. A CFO memo that feels like a passive‑aggressive sermon. A supervisor you accidentally told to “F off.” Families that look perfect from the outside while yours feels like a thrift‑store collage.Tonight we're talking about those small‑but‑heavy moments that make you question your confidence, your boundaries, and your place in the world.

Today, we explore the concept of going back to the Ironman Drawing Board and working on the small things that lead to big results. We explore creating your own specific challenge, talk an out being afraid of different zones, and creating a new ceiling that attracts your floor. We get into how to build and HOLD your gains. We look at going longer vs. training smarter. We get into fear of strength and intensity and how/when to overcome it. The struggles in triathlon are all part of the fun and mystery and today we look at ways to reinvent ourselves and our training. Topics: Is it the weather or the desire to do more that makes the difference? Love your yard and love yourself The triathlon space just feels different these days More athletes competing? Creating your specific challenge Afraid of certain zones? When it's insanely hot outside Creating a ceiling that leaves more room Moving the floor closer to your potential If you don't train it you stop gaining it Building and holding your gains Keeping the speed inside the plan Consistent with the little things The intent behind the training Going longer vs. being more purposeful Fear of strength and intensity It's all part of the fun and mystery Peeling back the layers of your success Lives change . . . more volume, less volume Nothing always works forever Take off the leash and let it rip Mike Tarrolly - mike@c26triathlon.com Robbie Bruce - robbie@c26triathlon.com

On Tuesday, we put reaction versus reason side-by-side, and yesterday I broke down the four non-negotiable rules of the Stoic Code. Today, on this Thursday run, we are putting boots on the ground with tactical daily execution so you can stop letting traffic, delays, and disrespect pull you out of your peace. Here are the five non-negotiable execution steps you need to practice every single day to stay completely unshakable: Pause before you react: The moment friction hits—whether someone cuts you off in traffic or a business deal falls through—take a deep breath and create space between the event and your response. Audit your judgments: When you feel anger or anxiety rising, immediately ask yourself: Is this within my control, or am I suffering over a story in my head? Turn friction into fuel: Treat every inconvenience, delay, or insult as a weight in the mental gym meant to test and strengthen your emotional discipline. Practice daily presence: Stay grounded in the current moment instead of rehearsing worst-case scenarios for a future that hasn't even happened. Nightly mind audit: Before you lay your head down, ask yourself the hard truth: Did I rule my mind today, or did I let the world run me? Tomorrow, we are wrapping up this entire series, recapping the week, and getting you ready to lead your family spiritually, physically, and financially into the weekend. Warriors Rise!

Ecclesiastes reminds us that life is not only made of grand accomplishments or profound moments. “Go, eat your bread with joy, and drink your wine with a glad heart.” This meditation invites you to notice the small delights, simple pleasures, and everyday mercies that are already here. Bring to mind a meal you enjoyed, a cool breeze, sunlight through a window, laughter, music, a comfortable chair, a good conversation, a favorite smell, a moment of rest. Let each one arrive without needing to justify or improve it. Savor what you can. Receive the ordinary gifts of being alive—not as rewards for having done enough, but as reasons to rejoice while you are here.

Nate kicks off a new series called Small Things, where we look at how small choices can have big impacts on our lives.

What if the things you avoid aren't just disappearing from your to-do list, but are actually teaching your brain what to avoid next? Whether it's a difficult conversation, speaking up in a meeting, trying something unfamiliar, or even avoiding physical movements that feel awkward, the relief we feel when we back away can reinforce avoidance and make us more likely to repeat it. In this episode, Dr. Bray explores the psychology and neuroscience of avoidance and why small moments of discomfort may be important opportunities to build adaptability, confidence, and resilience. You'll learn how avoidance gets reinforced in the brain, why it can quietly spread into other areas of our lives, and how taking small, manageable steps toward discomfort can give your brain new evidence: I can handle this. Quotes from Dr. Bray "The moment you make the decision not to do it, you feel a little bit better. That feeling of relief is where this story gets really interesting because your brain noticed it too." "When we continually organize our lives around what is already comfortable and familiar, we may be reducing opportunities to practice adaptability and build confidence in our ability to handle unfamiliar challenges." "We don't avoid things only because they seem frightening or unpleasant. Sometimes we avoid them because we aren't confident in our own ability to cope with what happens next."

As we continue our series on The Wisdom of the Kingdom, we'll look at four short parables of Jesus that give us important clues about what both the wisdom of God and the kingdom of God are like. In these little parables, we discover first that the wisdom of God's kingdom often consists in small and hidden things that ultimately grow into the fullest and most expansive things of all. We also learn that these small and hidden things are of utmost value and warrant our giving all we have to pursue and lay hold of them. So invite a friend and join us this Sunday as we consider “Small Things Big, Hidden Things Known: The Surpassing Value of the Wisdom of the Kingdom.”- Series Description - The Wisdom of the Kingdom, explores how God's Kingdom is not always obvious, but it is always available. Like wisdom crying out in the streets, the Kingdom advertises itself to us through the Spirit's beckoning: come live a different way — not on your own, but with the help of God. This is the way of wisdom. This first teaching series of the fall will be the foundation for a year of engaging God's wisdom about the Kingdom, other topics laid out in the Proverbs, and the way those topics impact us today. Wisdom cries out! Let's listen up.

Description:Barbara Brown Taylor gave us the question that ends every episode of this show, so it feels right to hand the Sacred Work series over to her. In this encore, the New York Times bestselling author, teacher, and Episcopal priest talks with Jen about the year she spent doing almost nothing impressive: the county fair with a couple of six-year-olds, an old racehorse nobody wanted, blueberry pies for friends going through hard things, and shifts at the public library. She calls herself the saint of small things, and she is honest about how hard that is to say out loud when people want to know what big thing you are working on. They also get into why she is wary of hope that functions as an escape hatch, how she keeps her heart from going wooden in a world of terrible headlines, and why friendship is worth protecting even though nobody rewards you for it. Stay to the end for the benediction Barbara wrote for this community.Thought-provoking Quotes:I'll be the saint of small things today.Headlines give me omniscience but no omnipotence.I've got to attend to the sustainability of a supple heart.I'm real wary of hope unless it functions right here, right now.The years are short but the days are long, and that's a blessing not a curse.Resources Mentioned in This Episode:A Rhythm of Prayer by Sarah Bessey, which includes Barbara's contributionThis Here Flesh by Cole Arthur Riley, who has also been a guest on For the LoveWhen God Is Silent by Barbara Brown TaylorLeaving Church by Barbara Brown TaylorLearning to Walk in the Dark by Barbara Brown TaylorAn Altar in the World by Barbara Brown TaylorGuest's Links:Website - https://barbarabrowntaylor.comFacebook - https://www.facebook.com/authorBarbaraBrownTaylorConnect with Jen!Jen's Website - https://jenhatmaker.com/Jen's Instagram - https://instagram.com/jenhatmakerJen's Twitter - https://twitter.com/jenHatmaker/Jen's Facebook - https://facebook.com/jenhatmakerJen's YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/user/JenHatmakerThe For the Love Podcast is presented by Audacy.

You don't have to wait for your life to get easier to start enjoying it. Today, Mel sits down with Dr. Kelly McGonigal, a renowned health psychologist, award-winning Stanford University lecturer, and bestselling author whose work focuses on stress, resilience, and joy. She's here to show you how to feel more alive again by making 7 small shifts. And you already have everything you need to get started. Dr. McGonigal will walk you through your body and brain's built-in resources for joy, connection, hope, and courage, and show you how to put them to work. Your muscles, for example, are like a pharmacy inside your body, releasing “hope molecules” when you move. And you don't have to crush a workout to get started. A walk with your dog or a little dancing in your kitchen counts. One of Dr. McGonigal's biggest insights: You need joy precisely because life can be hard. Those moments of laughter, closeness, and pleasure give you reasons to keep going, and you can learn how to create more of them.And you can practice these mood-boosting shifts on your next walk, between errands, or while spending time with someone you love. You'll learn:–What joy really does for you and why your brain needs it –How your muscles can make hope – seriously–How to make stress your friend and use it to your advantage –How to use a favorite song to shift your mood and get yourself going –How to turn a meaningful memory into courage you can use today –How to train your attention to notice more of the good around you –3 research-backed sources of hope you can tap into when you need a lift You have not lost your ability to feel joy. And you don't have to wait for it to find you. You'll leave this conversation with small things you can do today to feel more like yourself, connect with people, and get more enjoyment out of the life you're living.

This Sunday, Jess shared a bit about her experience in South Africa with St. Stephen's University, reflecting on an idea from Saint Thérèse of Lisieux, who wrote, "In this life we cannot do great things. We can only do small things with great love," and how one community project (WiARM) in particular demonstrated this in beautiful ways. She connected this to the parables of the mustard seed and the yeast, and a few thoughts from Wendell Berry as well.

Think about the last time you lost it over something relatively minor.The spilled drink. The shoes left in the hallway. The question you'd been asked one too many times.Some part of you knew, even in the moment, that it wasn't that big of a deal. And you came apart anyway.But here's the truth: the small thing was never the size of your reaction. It was just the thing that landed on a system that was already completely full.In this episode, we unpack why the small stuff sets you off, when the genuinely big stuff somehow doesn't.I walk all five Capacity Patterns through it, so you can see how your pattern reaches capacity and then overflows.And why the fix isn't a better breathing technique for the moment you snap. It's building a bigger container, so the small stuff stops being the thing that overflows you.If your reactions have ever felt "too big" for what set them off, this one's for you.What You'll Learn:The frame that finally explains why small things feel hugeWhy most stress advice fails you: it manages the moment, not the fullness underneath itWhy the moment you snap is the wrong place to interveneThe first skill: catching yourself filling up before you spill over--

Family devotionals often begin with the best of intentions—but somewhere between busy schedules, distracted kids, and the pressures of everyday life, they can quickly feel overwhelming or inconsistent.    In this episode of the Raising Godly Girls Podcast, Melissa Bearden sits down with author, Bible teacher, and The Gospel Coalition leader Melissa Kruger to talk about what it really looks like to build lasting, grace-filled devotional rhythms at home. Together, they offer encouragement for parents who long to disciple their daughters in God's Word but feel stretched thin or unsure where to begin.    Melissa shares both personal and practical insight—from her own experiences growing up with family devotionals to leading them in her own home today. This conversation reminds us that spiritual growth doesn't require perfection or polished routines. In fact, some of the most meaningful moments of discipleship happen in the midst of interruptions, questions, and even the occasional "train wreck" devotional.    You'll also hear how to release the pressure to perform, redefine what success looks like in family discipleship, and create simple, sustainable rhythms that point your daughter to Jesus over time. Whether your family is just starting out or trying to reestablish consistency, this episode offers hope that God is faithfully at work through even the smallest efforts.    Because raising Godly girls isn't about doing everything perfectly—it's about faithfully planting seeds of truth and trusting God for the growth.    Scriptures Referenced in This Episode:    Deuteronomy 6:6–7  Proverbs 22:6  Isaiah 55:10–11  Galatians 6:9  Colossians 3:16  Psalm 119:105     To learn more about Melissa Kruger's work at The Gospel Coalition and to explore her books, visit melissabkruger.com     Visit raisinggodlygirls.com for more encouragement and faith-based parenting tools.         Learn how to find or start an American Heritage Girls Troop in your community at americanheritagegirls.org.

Today's guest is the drummer who took punk out of the garage, put it on your radio, then on MTV, then on your body. But his real story isn't the discography. It's what he did with everything that was supposed to end him.From a four-piece kit in Fontana to the center of the album cover, Travis carries three things simultaneously that most musicians never figure out how to hold at once: the craft of writing a drum part as a hook — singing it in his head before his hands ever get there; the conviction that no genre gets to own him, and no one else gets to write his ending; and the contrarian edge to ban Auto-Tune, editing, and drum samples from his own studio at the exact moment the rest of the industry is sprinting toward machine-clean.And The Writer Is...

This is an encore presentation of a program originally broadcast in October of 2025. Arundhati Roy's internationally best-selling novels include The God of Small Things and The Ministry of Utmost Happiness.  Her nonfiction works engage elegantly and passionately with class and power, among other issues.  Roy's new memoir, Mother Mary Comes to Me, examines her childhood in Kerala, India, and a mother whose commitment to justice and education made her a powerful force in the community – but whose volatility made for a challenging family life that included emotional abuse.  On September 19, 2025, Arundhati Roy came to the Sydney Goldstein Theater in San Francisco to read from her memoir and hold an on-stage conversation with journalist Deepa Fernandes.
