Podcasts about Sowing

Solomon teaches that while life is often unpredictable and unfair, we are not called to sit still in fear but to live wisely and faithfully. He encourages generous giving, consistent habits, calculated risks, and trusting God with outcomes we cannot control, knowing that faithful choices often bear fruit over time. He also warns against letting anger, bitterness, and vexation take root, comparing them to a poison that slowly shapes the heart. Instead, believers are called to cultivate joy, gratitude, spiritual disciplines, and a heavenly perspective, choosing daily to bless others, reject resentment, and walk in wisdom despite life's uncertainties.

Jun 14th | Freedom | Galatians 6:6-18In this episode, Pastor Peyton Coker walks through Galatians 4:21–5:6 and asks a powerful question: What does it actually mean to live free?Using the striking image of a hotel room versus a jail cell, Pastor Peyton explores the fundamental difference between freedom and slavery—not the appearance of the room, but where the lock is and who holds the keys. Many people are living trapped behind invisible prison doors of perfectionism, greed, self-righteousness, addiction, shame, people-pleasing, and performance-based Christianity without even realizing it.As Paul closes his argument to the Galatians, the message shifts from doctrine to deeply practical application. Pastor Peyton unpacks three key truths for anyone longing to experience real freedom in Christ:• Cast off your slave mentality• Stand firm in Christ• Check your motivation for obedienceThis episode confronts the crushing weight of trying to earn God's approval through religious performance and reminds believers that Jesus didn't save us merely to behave better—He saved us to enjoy life with Him, walk in freedom, and delight in His presence.If you've ever felt exhausted trying to be “good enough,” trapped in cycles of guilt and perfectionism, or burdened by striving instead of grace, this conversation will point you back to the Gospel: salvation is by faith in Christ alone, and true obedience flows from Spirit-filled love, not fear or shame.Freedom is possible. The prison door is open. The question is: will you walk out?Do you know JESUS? ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.nbgilmer.org/do-you-know-jesus⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Need PRAYER? ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.nbgilmer.org/pray⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Support through GIVING: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.nbbctx.org/giving⁠

Galatians 6:7

Pastor Jonathan Pyle.06-07-2026.PM

Early June has brought that classic mix of heavy rain, strong winds and sudden sunshine — and the garden has certainly felt it. In this week's episode, I'm sharing how the weather has shaped everything from seed sowing to weeding, plus an exciting update from the beehive as the colony continues to grow. Kitchen Garden Update: Wild Weather and Big Sowing Sessions The kitchen garden has taken a real battering from the weather this week, but the plants are still powering on. Inside the shed, I've been making the most of the rain by sowing cucumbers, sweetcorn, kale, cabbage and beans in plug trays. Out in the Veggie Pod, more spring onions, radish and carrots have gone in — ideal quick crops for this time of year. There's also been another round of cutting back the invasive climber along the fence line, which has taken full advantage of the warm, wet conditions. Allotment Update: Growth Spurts, Weeds and Potato Progress Down on the allotment, everything has that early‑summer energy. The rain has made weeding incredibly satisfying, and the beds are looking much tidier for it. My early potatoes are still recovering from the May frost, while the main crop is thriving with strong, healthy foliage. The beans are climbing well, the boundary weeds are putting up their usual fight, and I've even planted some forgotten seed potatoes for a late experiment. It's one of those weeks where the plot feels full of potential. Recipe of the Week: Chard and New Potatoes This week's recipe is a simple early‑summer dish using chard and new potatoes fresh from the garden. Soft potatoes, sweet onions, garlic and colourful chard, finished with butter and lemon — a quick, fresh plate that tastes like summer. You'll find the full recipe on the podcast page. From the Podding Shed: Successional Sowing Explained There's exciting progress in the beehive this week as I add the colony's first super, giving them space to expand and store surplus honey. I'm also diving into successional sowing — how often to sow different crops, what you can still sow right now in the UK, and how this simple habit keeps food coming all summer long. If you want steady harvests and fewer gluts, this is the segment to listen to.

Ever wonder why some prayers seem to get answered while others don't? Pastor Ron reveals the secret of "heaven's pipeline" - a powerful biblical principle that shows how what we send up in prayer directly impacts what God sends down in response. Using Jacob's ladder vision and Jesus' own prayer life, discover how worship, faith, and intentional prayer create a flow of angelic activity over your life.  One takeaway: Start each morning by "seeding the heavens" with praise and prayer before you need the harvest. 

Practicing Generosity: The Principle of Sowing and Reaping           Date: June 7, 2026Pastor Steve PooleKey Scripture: 2 Corinthians 9:6-121. Giving generously is sowing not losing“So let me urge you to be a bit more reckless in your giving, and to have a good laugh about it as you give.” (Gary Millar)2. We generously sow our time, talents, and treasures3. Sow generously to harvest an enriched and eternal life4. God provides both the seed for sowing and the harvest“He who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food will supply and multiply your seed for sowing and increase the harvest of your righteousness.” 2 Cor. 9:10NEXT STEPS1.Enter into God's generous forgiveness and resurrection life through faith in Jesus.2.Analyze how you are currently sowing your time, talents and treasures and pray for wisdom about how to invest them well.3.Reflect on how you are reaping God's blessing for faithfully sowing your time, talents and treasure.JOURNAL PROMPTHow are you currently sowing your time, treasures and talents? How is God calling you to sow them more generously?How have you been enriched by generously sowing time, talent and treasures in others?  

Building on the foundation of biblical giving, Pastor Corey Erman continues teaching on the principles of sowing financial seed. Discover how consistency, obedience, and expectation work together to produce a harvest. God's principles never fail, and those who sow in faith position themselves to reap in due season. “Let him who is taught the word share in all good things with him who teaches.

In this teaching, Pastor Steve Perez discusses the importance of transformation in the spiritual journey, emphasizing that it requires more than just removing negative behaviors. He highlights the necessity of filling the void with positive disciplines and the significance of sowing peace instead of strife. The lesson delves into the dangers of strife, its consequences on relationships and spiritual growth, and the intentionality required to cultivate peace in our lives. In this lesson, Pastor discusses the importance of embodying the characteristics of God, particularly through peacemaking. He emphasizes that true peacemakers actively work towards reconciliation and unity, contrasting this with mere peacekeeping. The power of words is highlighted as a significant factor in creating peace or strife, urging listeners to be mindful of their speech. Humility is presented as a crucial element for achieving peace, and the conversation explores practical steps for fostering peace in relationships. Ultimately, the teaching calls for sowing seeds of peace to cultivate righteousness and unity, reflecting God's peace in our lives.Pastor Steve Perez | June 2, 2026The Fountain Apostolic ChurchSOW (2026)Learn more at tfachurch.com/plus

Early summer has truly arrived, and with it comes one of my favourite celebrations in the gardening calendar—Tomato Fortnight. As I shared in this week's Veg Grower Podcast, the allotment and kitchen garden are bursting with activity, from staking tomatoes to sowing French beans, harvesting peas, and even spotting new life on my citrus tree. Tomato Fortnight: Why I Grow So Many Varieties Down on the allotment, the heat has been intense, but the tomatoes are thriving. I grow around eight different varieties, each chosen for a specific purpose—beefsteaks for sandwiches, salad tomatoes for everyday use, cherries for hanging baskets, and plum tomatoes for passata. As I said in the episode: “There are so many different varieties, hundreds and hundreds of varieties… that is why I grow so many different varieties of tomatoes.” Between home and the allotment, that adds up to around 30 plants—and honestly, I could still grow more. Greenhouse vs. Outdoor Tomatoes Greenhouse tomatoes crop earlier but lack the depth of flavour of outdoor-grown fruit. Outdoors, I rely on blight‑resistant varieties like Crimson Crush and Crimson Blush to help avoid devastation from late‑season blight. “Any tomatoes growing outside, unless they are blight resistant, are susceptible… it can literally rot your crop within a week.” Watering & Feeding Consistent watering is key to avoiding split fruit and blossom end rot. I mulch heavily with straw to lock in moisture and feed weekly with seaweed until flowering, then switch to tomato feed. Sweetcorn, Squash & Straw Bale Growing The allotment beds are now fully planted. Sweetcorn has gone in as a block, not rows, to ensure good wind pollination. Squash and courgettes are thriving in the straw bales, settling in nicely after the recent cold snap. Interestingly, my maincrop potatoes have overtaken the first earlies due to that cold spell: “The cold snap… just set those first earlies back a little bit.” Catching Rainwater in a Dry Year Back home, I've been racing to put out buckets and containers ahead of the forecast rain. “It has been a very dry year so far… I want to catch as much rainwater as I can.” With 16 water butts running low, every drop counts. Seed of the Month: French Beans June's seed of the month is one of my absolute favourites—French climbing beans. They're fast, productive, and perfect for filling gaps as spring crops finish. Sowing is simple: Sow direct 2 cm deep or Start in modules for quick germination (7–14 days) Beans aren't hungry plants, but they do need something to climb. I use hazel-stick frames, drilling holes with a soil auger to get the sticks firmly into the ground. “They simply curl their way up around the stick… I find it fascinating.” I also grow Borlotto for both fresh pods and dried beans—beautiful, versatile, and easy to store. Kitchen Harvests & Courgette Fritters Harvests are rolling in: lettuce, radish, spring onions, peas, strawberries, raspberries, and the first courgettes of the year. To celebrate the courgette glut, this week's recipe is Early Summer Courgette & Mint Fritters with Lemon Yoghurt—crisp, fresh, and perfect for lunch. “These fritters are crisp on the outside, soft in the middle… lifted beautifully by fresh mint.” Bee Update: A Calm, Growing Colony My weekly apiary visit brought brilliant news: “The bees have incredibly settled in… we're now up to eight frames of bees.” Even better—I finally spotted the queen. Supers will be going on soon, meaning honey isn't far away. Book of the Month: Home Brewing by Kevin Forbes May's unexpected Book of the Month was Home Brewing by Kevin Forbes. With elderflowers in full swing, I used it to make cordial and even started elderflower wine. “This book made it sound very, very easy.” For June, I'll be diving into The Victorian Kitchen Garden by Jennifer Davies.

This weeks sponsors: Seeds Ireland High Quality Seeds: See link below for listener offer. https://seedsireland.ie/masterJune is where gardeners quietly win the year, or accidentally drift into gaps, gluts, and empty beds. With April and May running unusually cold, I'm using this June seed sowing guide to reset the clock and show what still makes sense to sow now, especially once soil temperatures rise and growth finally kicks on.We talk through the real-world effects of sudden heat, particularly under cover. If your polytunnel is spiking into the 30s and 40s, some seeds simply will not play ball. Lettuce is the big one: once temperatures push past about 20°C, germination can stall, so tray placement matters as much as watering. I also share why seedlings are most at risk right now and how capillary matting can keep modules evenly moist for 24 to 48 hours, helping you avoid that heartbreaking “burnt to a crisp” moment.Then we get into the sowing list, grouped in a way that makes planning easier: repeat salad sowings like spring onion, spinach, radish and lettuce, plus the smart-harvesting approach that stretches heads for longer. We shift into autumn and winter thinking with brassicas such as Brussels sprouts, cabbages, sprouting broccoli, calabrese, cauliflower and leeks, followed by roots like parsnips, beetroot, swede and carrots. Herbs and warm-season crops get a look in too, from basil and parsley to cucumbers, courgettes, French beans, squash, sweetcorn and peas. I finish with what you can still sow for flowers, why seed compost quality can stall growth, and how perennials and biennials started now repay you next spring.If this helps, subscribe, share it with a gardening mate, and leave a review so more growers can find the podcast.
