Podcasts about small things

Are you in a season where life feels full of small, ordinary moments?In today's episode, The Alessies guide us through the idea of "Faithful Steps," inspired by Luke 16:10. Together, we'll explore how God values our faithfulness in the little things. Whether it's managing our time, caring for our relationships, or serving at church. We'll learn how small acts of obedience can lead to a greater harvest and why cultivating trust with God in seemingly minor moments prepares us for bigger blessings ahead.Join our community in prayer and devotion today as we ask God to help us recognize and honor the everyday opportunities to be faithful.Tap HERE to send us a text!

When you think about what makes your business different, it's easy to focus on the big things. Your services, your experience, your approach, your pricing, or even the style of your work might come to mind first. But often, the things that truly set your business apart are much smaller.Hosted by ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Kelly Zugay⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠of ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠With Grace and Gold®⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ — ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠The Brand It, Build It Podcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, a chart-topping small business marketing podcast, equips you to build and grow your creative small business with purpose and strategy.Podcast Show Notes: https://withgraceandgold.com/category/podcast/With Grace and Gold on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/withgraceandgoldFree Resources from With Grace and Gold: https://www.withgraceandgold.com/freeHonored as Showit Designer of the Year, With Grace and Gold® has proudly served thousands of small businesses and creative founders worldwide through award-winning, elevated, purpose-driven brand and ⁠⁠⁠Showit web design⁠⁠⁠ since 2014.

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.

Hi, Solo Star! Feeling stuck is one of the biggest frustrations I hear from women solopreneurs. You want to move forward, you know you're capable of more, but no matter how hard you think about it or how badly you want it, nothing seems to change. It feels like the big goal is blocking your path—but what if the real reason you're stuck is something much smaller that's quietly holding everything else in place? Here's the link to this episode on Sandra's website if you'd like to check it out: https://sandrasmith.com/podcast-episode/the-small-things-keeping-you-stuck.

Behind the Scenes: Big Power Lives in Small WordsWhat can our words reveal about the state of our hearts? In this week's Behind the Scenes podcast, host Kevin Van Hall sits down with Pastor Laura Johnson to explore Matthew 15:10-20 and Jesus' challenging teaching about what truly makes us “clean” or “unclean.”Kevin and Laura unpack Jesus' confrontation with the Pharisees, the tension between religious tradition and the heart of God, and why Jesus shifts the focus from outward rules to what is happening within us. They also talk about the surprising power of our words—how something that seems small can have a profound impact on others and reveal what's happening in our own hearts.As part of our Small Things, Big Impact series, this conversation asks an important question: What do the words we speak tell us about the state of our hearts?Listen in as Kevin and Laura dig deeper into the Scripture behind this week's sermon and consider what it means to live a life shaped not by rules and restrictions, but by love, service, kindness, generosity, and the transforming work of the Holy Spirit.

On this Make A Difference Minute, I have Ashley Russell of Athens, Alabama, sharing how small acts of kindness have helped carry her through cancer treatments and chemotherapy. When people hear about a cancer diagnosis, they often wonder what they can do to help. Ashley's answer is that it's the little things matter. A surprise package in the mail filled with items to help during chemotherapy. A bag prepared by friends with snacks, blankets, fuzzy socks, and comfort items. Head wraps given with love after losing her hair. Help with her child when she needed support. None of these acts could take away the diagnosis, but each one reminded Ashley that she wasn't facing the journey alone. Sometimes encouragement doesn't have to be grand or expensive. A thoughtful gesture, a helping hand, or simply showing up can make a difficult day a little easier. This MADM is brought to you by Bama Estate Planning by Attorney Harlan D.

“Send Coach John a message”Super advice here from Mindset Machine (@mindsetmachine) where this is what was shared:  “Always give yourself something small to look forward to, like a nice meal or a weekend stroll.  Your mind and body need gentle reminders that life is meant to be enjoyed, not just a series of chores and survival.”  This is so spot on. I know I need to continually have little rewards set up for working hard and looking to be a good person with doing things the right way.  Life is not always easy, but there should be plenty of little enjoyable moments to celebrate with.  Thanks for listening.  Please take a few moments to subscribe & share this with someone, also leave a 5 Star rating on Apple Podcasts and ITunes or other services where you find this show.  Find me on Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/coachtoexpectsuccess/   on Twitter / “X”:  @coachtosuccess   and on Instagram at:  @coachjohndaly  - My YouTube Channel is at: Coach John Daly.   Email me at: CoachJohnDalyPodcast@gmail.com     You can also head on over to https://www.coachtoexpectsuccess.com/ and get in touch with me there on my homepage along with checking out my Top Book list too.  Other things there on my site are being worked on too.  Please let me know that you are reaching out to me from my podcast.  ** I would appreciate anyone to try clicking on the top of the show notes where it says "Send us a text" to leave a few thoughts / comments / questions.  It's a new feature that I'd like to see how it works. **

Big Miracles Begin with Small Gifts | Rev. Laura Johnson | North Raleigh UMCWhat if the miracle you've been praying for begins with the small gift you already have?In this message from the Small Things, Big Impact series, Rev. Laura Johnson explores the familiar story of Jesus feeding the 5,000 in Matthew 14. Set against the backdrop of grief following the death of John the Baptist, this miracle reveals a Savior whose compassion meets people in their deepest needs—and who invites ordinary disciples to participate in God's extraordinary work.When the disciples see only five loaves and two fish, they focus on scarcity. Jesus sees possibility. Rather than sending the crowd away or creating food from nothing, Jesus takes the small offering already in their hands, blesses it, multiplies it, and sends the disciples to share it. The miracle begins not with abundance, but with a willingness to offer what little they have.Through stories of everyday generosity—from a woman faithfully feeding her neighbors to young entrepreneurs transforming their communities through Zoe Empowers—Laura reminds us that God rarely asks us to solve every problem. Instead, God asks us to start somewhere. The smallest act of faith, compassion, or generosity can become the catalyst for a miracle when placed in Christ's hands.If you've ever felt overwhelmed by the needs of the world or wondered whether your gifts could really make a difference, this sermon offers hope and a fresh perspective on God's abundance. You don't have to have everything. You simply have to bring what you have to Jesus.At North Raleigh United Methodist Church, our purpose is to be a church where you can belong just as you are, become like Jesus, and be love for God's world.Scripture: Matthew 14:13–21; Isaiah 55:1–3, 12–13Preacher: Rev. Laura JohnsonDate: August 2, 2026Series: Small Things, Big ImpactChurch: North Raleigh United Methodist Church

Eikev, the Shema, and the Small Things That Hold All Things Together - Pastor Troy Jackson - August 2 by Pastor Larry Huch

Monday Motivation #3 – Trust Is Built in the Small ThingsTrust is the foundation of every great relationship, every high-performing team and every successful leader.In this week's Monday Motivation, Glenn explores why trust isn't earned in the big moments of life—it is built through the hundreds of small moments that nobody applauds. Drawing on lessons from the Australian Army, leading over 100 Kokoda Track expeditions and working with businesses across Australia, Glenn shares practical leadership insights that will help you strengthen trust in your workplace, your family and your everyday relationships. Whether you're leading a team, running a business, coaching a sporting group or simply striving to become a better person, this episode will challenge you to look at trust differently and remind you that every interaction is either making a deposit or a withdrawal from the relationships that matter most.In this episode: Why trust is built long before it's tested The power of keeping your word Why consistency creates confidence How owning your mistakes strengthens credibility The leadership skill of listening before leading Stephen Covey's Emotional Bank Account and how to make more deposits than withdrawals A practical leadership episode that will change the way you think about trust and give you simple actions to strengthen every relationship in your life.Because trust isn't built in extraordinary moments... it's built one ordinary choice at a time.

This final episode of our Confidence series ties everything together: the inner work of accepting discomfort and self-doubt, defusing from self-critical thoughts, and clarifying values now becomes the foundation for outer action. You can build confidence through the daily practice of taking small committed actions, again and again, in alignment with your values, even when you don't feel ready.  We'll dig into strategies like psychological flexibility: the ability to be present with thoughts, feelings, and sensations without letting them stop you from doing what matters. With that flexibility, we can shift from self-focused attention (consumed by what others are thinking, picking apart your own performance in real time) to task-focused attention. Self-focused attention takes the prefrontal cortex partially offline and redirects computing power to threat-detection and self-monitoring. Shifting attention to the task brings it back online. You think more clearly. You respond more flexibly. You perform closer to the level you're actually capable of. The practice is simple to describe and genuinely hard to do: when you notice self-focused attention taking over, pause, ask "What does this moment call for?" and do the next best thing, imperfectly. You'll get pulled back into self-monitoring. That's okay. That's actually the practice. That's where the real strength is built.    About: The Joy Lab Podcast is an Ambie-nominated podcast that blends science and soul to help you cope better with stress, anxiety, and depression.

A: Start with small committed actions (not big goals) that are aligned with your values and take those small actions even when you feel doubtful or uncomfortable. These small actions are the most important starting point, they collect evidence your nervous system can learn from (I can do it!), and the feeling of confidence can follow those small actions.   Q: Why does my anxiety get worse when I'm in the middle of doing something I care about? A: That's self-focused attention. Your energy and focus gets redirected from the task to self-monitoring and threat-detection; this episode explains the neuroscience, introduces the shift to task-focused attention, and gives you a simple one-question reset to bring your prefrontal cortex back online.   Key moments: [00:00] Welcome to the final episode of the Confidence series — committed action, the last step [00:30] Recap of the series: Ep. 274 (being with discomfort), Ep. 275 (unhooking from thoughts), Ep. 276 (clarifying values) — now it's time to act [01:00] Quoting Dr. Russ Harris: "The actions of confidence come first; the feelings of confidence come later." [01:30] Henry: up until now, we've done the inner work — now it's time for the outer work [02:00] Committed action: moving toward what matters even when uncomfortable, doubtful, or uncertain [02:30] ACT's psychological flexibility: being present with thoughts, feelings, and sensations without letting them stop you [03:30] The amygdala learns through action: "Oh, I just handled that. This isn't as dangerous as I thought." Over time the alarm quiets — not because you forced it, but because you gave it evidence that you can do hard things [04:30] Aimee: psychological flexibility is at the heart of courage and confidence — it's not the absence of self-doubt, it's the ability to be with it [06:00] Experiencing anxiety during a task is not a reliable predictor of performance — that is liberating [07:00] The real performance problem: not the anxiety, but the anxiety about the anxiety — self-focused attention [07:30] Self-focused attention: running assessments about being judged, picking apart your performance in real time, obsessing over the shaky voice or red patches [08:00] Russ Harris's hands-over-eyes metaphor: your thoughts are your hands — self-focused attention is covering your eyes with them [09:30] Cognitive defusion creates the space — unhook from the thoughts, shift attention to the task [10:00] The task-focused question: "What does this moment call for? What can I do right now?" [11:00] Self-focused attention takes the prefrontal cortex partially offline; shifting to task-focused attention brings the prefrontal cortex back online — clearer thinking, more flexibility, better performance [12:30] You don't have to wait until self-critical thoughts stop — you can have them AND shift your attention to the task [14:00] You'll get pulled back into self-focus — that's okay; that's another repetition, another chance to reset [15:30] This is why Joy Lab's experiments lean on mindfulness — the practice of returning attention is the whole skill [16:00] Rather than big hairy audacious goals — work on what we've already built: defusing thoughts, clarifying values, task-focused attention [17:30] As confidence builds in one area, it spreads to others — "I can do hard things" becomes a foundation [19:00] Confidence is not a destination — it's an ongoing practice; some days self-doubt is louder, and the practice is showing up anyway [20:00] Dr. Anne Wilson Schaef: "Perfectionism is not a quest for the best. It is a pursuit of the worst in ourselves." [20:30] Small imperfect actions are part of the best of who we are — that resilient nature to take small steps that build [20:45] Joy Lab final Experiment for the Element of Confidence is available [21:00] Closing wisdom from Vincent van Gogh: "Great things are done by a series of small things brought together."    Like and follow Joy Lab on Socials:  Instagram Linkedin Facebook YouTube   Please remember that this content is for informational and educational purposes only.

Small Things, Big Impact: Big Treasures Start Small | Rev. Kevin Johnson | North Raleigh UMCWhat if the things we overlook as small, ordinary, or insignificant are actually where God is at work?In this sermon from the Small Things, Big Impact series, Rev. Kevin Johnson explores Jesus' parables in Matthew 13: the mustard seed, the yeast, the hidden treasure, the pearl, and the net. Through these surprising stories, Jesus invites us to see the world differently—to recognize that God's realm is already at work among us, often in unexpected and seemingly insignificant places.The Kingdom of God doesn't always arrive in the ways we expect. It can begin small, grow quietly, surprise us, and challenge the boundaries and assumptions we hold tightly. And when we begin to see it, we may discover that what once seemed small is actually a treasure worth everything.Kevin invites us to consider what it means to surrender to God's work and to respond not by trying to accomplish something extraordinary, but by asking a simple question: What is one small thing God is calling me to do?Maybe it's praying for someone, reaching out to a friend, changing one habit, serving a particular community, or simply opening ourselves more fully to God.At North Raleigh United Methodist Church, our purpose is to be a church where you can belong just as you are, become like Jesus, and be love for God's world. This sermon invites us to consider how even the smallest steps of faith can help us live more fully into that calling.Scripture: Matthew 13:31–33, 44–52Psalter: Psalm 105:1–11, 45bPreacher: Rev.

In this episode of Behind the Scenes, host Kevin Van Hall sits down with Rev. Laura Johnson to explore one of Jesus' most well-known miracles: the feeding of the five thousand in Matthew 14:13-21.As the Small Things, Big Impact sermon series continues, Laura reflects on how Jesus responds with compassion in the midst of grief, provides for both spiritual and physical needs, and challenges his disciples with a surprising command: "You give them something to eat." Together, Kevin and Laura unpack the deeper meaning behind the miracle, its connection to the Exodus story, the Lord's Supper, and what it teaches us about generosity, abundance, and trusting God with the little we have.Could the greatest miracle be more than multiplying bread? What happens when ordinary people offer what they have in faith? And how might small acts of compassion become God's way of transforming communities today?Whether you've heard this story countless times or are encountering it with fresh eyes, this conversation offers practical insight into how Jesus continues to nourish, equip, and send his followers to care for the world around them.Scripture: Matthew 14:13-21Series: Small Things, Big ImpactGuest: Rev.

Faithfulness isn’t something our culture celebrates very much. We celebrate talent, success, influence, and achievement. But heaven celebrates something different. Heaven celebrates faithfulness. In the life of someone not under the influence of the Holy Spirit, faithfulness is a constant struggle. But in the life of someone filled with the Spirit, faithfulness begins to grow naturally. It becomes part of who they are. Galatians 5:23, “The Holy Spirit produces this kind of fruit in our lives: Love, joy, peace patience, kindness, goodness, FAITHFULNESS …” Again, it’s a fruit. It’s not something we strain for, it’s something that grows within us and is naturally produced in our lives when we are abiding in Jesus. Faithfulness is a translation of the Greek word ‘pistis’ which means, reliability, trustworthiness, fidelity, loyalty and dependability. Yip, all the things you would look for in a partner – that’s what God naturally GROWS in US! But faithfulness is born out of trusting God. BECAUSE we trust God, we can be absolutely steadfast. We can stay the course and continue forward no matter what because of our unshakable faith in God. Without God, we waiver. With God, we are faithful. Faithfulness isn’t flashy. It rarely gets applause. It’s the behind-the-scenes commitment no one notices. Faithfulness quietly keeps promises. It shows up long after the excitement has faded. It finishes what it starts. It stays when circumstances become difficult. It keeps loving after feelings change. It keeps serving after recognition disappears. It keeps trusting when prayers seem unanswered. Lasting faithfulness is impossible without Jesus. We may keep a promise here and there through sheer determination, but only the Holy Spirit can produce a life marked by consistent faithfulness. When you have Jesus, an unfaithful life feels so incredibly wrong in every sense. The Holy Spirit lovingly refuses to leave us comfortable in unfaithfulness. He convicts us, stirs our hearts, and keeps drawing us back toward obedience. The gift of the Holy Spirit won’t let us sleep when we are being unfaithful. The Holy Spirit will stir us up, poke at us, and leave us in a state of complete unrest when we’re unfaithful. Thank you Lord, for not leaving me like I was! Once again, recognize this is a character of God, not of humans. Adam and Eve lived in paradise. There was no sin, no brokenness, no pain. God gave them one command—just one—and they couldn’t keep it. That’s the story of humanity. Left to ourselves, we aren’t naturally faithful. We wander. We quit. We compromise. We break promises. We fail. But God is different. Deuteronomy 7:9, “The LORD your God is indeed God. He is the FAITHFUL God who keeps his covenant for a thousand generations and lavishes his unfailing love on those who love him and obey his commands.” God has never broken a promise. He’s never abandoned a plan. He’s never walked away from His people. God is faithful. It’s who he is and what he does. **Now here’s the miracle… The faithful God now lives in you. Think about that. The God who has never broken a promise… The God who has never abandoned His children… The God who always finishes what He starts… lives inside you through His Holy Spirit. So it only makes sense that His faithfulness is beginning to grow in you too. So you know what you absolutely MUST do – Stop introducing yourself by your old nature. STOP excusing yourself as someone who simply can’t finish what you start. That may have been the old you, but remember the Spirit of God is now working in you to make you NEW. You’re not who you once were, you’re becoming more and more like Jesus with the character of God reshaping you. Without God, we waver. With God, we are faithful. Maybe you’ve never stuck with anything your entire life – okay – but it doesn’t have to continue that way. Something new is growing now. With the power of the Holy Spirit, let me tell you exactly who you are becoming: You’re becoming the girl who is obedient when no one is watching. Yes, you’re proving you can be trusted with little, so now God is going to trust you with much! You’re becoming the girl who is faithful in her relationships. You keep your commitments and you remain loyal – no matter what. You’re becoming a girl who gives her best even when no one is watching. You work with your whole heart in all you do, as if you’re doing it for God himself. You’re becoming that good and faithful servant. Maybe not always successful, but that’s never what Jesus asked for. He honors your faithfulness over your success. You’re becoming the girl who can wait. The girl who can trust even when the answers don’t come. You’re living out Hebrews 10:23, “Let us hold tightly to the hope we affirm, for God can be trusted to keep his promise.” You trust God, so you faithfully wait for the fulfillment of his promises over your life. Without God, we waver. With God, we are faithful. And let me tell you something, your life now feels different with the fruit of faithfulness growing in you. You’re stable. People trust you. You live so much deeper now, stronger now, healthier now. And most importantly, your faithfulness reflects that genuine character of God and people are continually catching a glimpse of Jesus through you. Yip, every time you show up because you said you would – every time you keep going and don’t give up – every time you keep your promises – every time you give your best effort – every single time, you’re shining Jesus to this world. When people know they can count on you, when you are known to keep your word, when you are consistent and steady, when you are unwavering even under pressure, when you are still there even when life gets hard, when you finish the things God asked you to begin, when you stay instead of walking away …. THAT’S THE FRUIT OF FAITHFULNESS GROWING IN YOUR LIFE. That’s the power of God in you! Without God, we waver. With God, we are faithful. Faithfulness looks like Abraham and Sarah trusting God’s promise for a baby for decades. Faithfulness looks like Joseph as a slave, Joseph as a prisoner, and Joseph in power with the same unshakable character. Faithfulness looks like Ruth out gathering what little food there was, doing what she could do to survive and care for her mother-in-law, when she stumbled into the field of a rich man who would love her. Faithfulness is Mary, a teenage virgin willingly accepting a miraculous pregnancy that would turn her whole world upside down. Faithfulness is Jesus – walking out his calling and purpose all the way to the cross, eyes always on the Father. Faithfulness – you are being called to it. Faithfulness – it’s being produced in your life through a power so much greater than you. You’re growing in faithfulness and it’s changing you. Recognize this change. Without God, we waver. With God, we are faithful. Challenge for Today: “Be Faithful in the Small Things” Choose one area where you can intentionally practice Spirit-produced faithfulness today. Here are a few ideas: Keep every promise you make today—even the small ones. Arrive early for every commitment. Complete a task you’ve been postponing. Spend your planned time with God, even if you don’t “feel” like it. Encourage someone you’ve committed to pray for, and then actually pray for them. Follow through on something without seeking recognition. As you do, pray: “Holy Spirit, make me a faithful person. Form in me a character that reflects the unwavering faithfulness of Jesus. Help me to be trustworthy in the little things, steadfast in difficulty, loyal in relationships, and devoted to You. May my life proclaim Your faithfulness to everyone I meet.” The Holy Spirit delights to produce that kind of steady, enduring faithfulness— one faithful choice at a time.
