Podcasts about spiritual leaders

In this episode, we dive deep into the generational mission of fatherhood. We move beyond the traditional metrics of "success"—finances and career—to explore the weight and beauty of building a spiritual legacy. It's not about being a perfect theologian; it's about being a present, consistent, and humble leader who treats God as a reality, not just a concept. Pick one spiritual habit to start this week. Don't overcomplicate it. Whether it's praying before bed, reading one verse at dinner, or simply blessing your children with your words—start small, but start now. Remember: God doesn't need your ability; He needs your availability. Connect with us: Legacy Dads Facebook Legacy Dads Instagram

(Ephesians 6:19–20, ESV)  

Episode Summary: Both Solomon, and later the author of the book of Hebrews appeal to the obvious creation principle that they assume everyone knew in their era, loving fathers don't allow their children to persist in selfish, wrong behavior; they discipline their children out of love for them. In our own day, a weird time in history when cultural voices are denying what every other culture in history has affirmed—that there are differences between fathers and mothers—it seems necessary examine this creation principle of fatherhood. It is also important because, today, so much child-rearing advice is rooted in a fear of stifling a child or harming his self-esteem instead of recognizing that by nature a child wants to be the center of the universe--dad giving him what he wants when he wants it, and the rest of the world catering to his wants and demands. This episode examines how fathers must protect their child from the child's worst enemy, the main person who can ruin his life—HIMSELF, because he comes into this world with self-centered, sinful natureFor Further Prayerful ThoughtHow would you answer a husband who said, “My wife is so much better with the kids, I leave the discipline of the children to her?”How would you explain to someone that loving a child requires disciplining them but that letting them go their own ways is a form of hatred for them?Which of the 6 reasons parents don't discipline their kids as well as they should stands out to you? Which of the 6 principles from Hebrews 12 for administering discipline that is like God's discipline of us stood out most to you? Why do you think that is important?For the printed version of this message click here.For a summary of topics addressed by podcast series, click here.For FREE downloadable studies on men's issues click here.To make an online contribution to enable others to hear about the podcast: (Click link and scroll down to bottom left)

Nathan LaGrange, Executive Director of Oasis Rest International, knows firsthand the vital importance of rest for pastors and ministry leaders. After many years in full-time ministry, a season of intense busyness began to take its toll. Nathan came to a sobering realization: before he could effectively care for others, he needed to care for himself and his family.   God then led Nathan through a series of transitions—from fast-paced ministry to the slower, more intentional shepherding of a congregation. Along the way, Nathan discovered the transformative power of doing life with God, not just for Him.   Out of that journey came a passion: to create a space where pastors and leaders could themselves be pastored, nurtured, and restored. Following a sabbatical year, Nathan connected with Oasis Rest International, a nonprofit dedicated to providing safe, restorative environments for pastors, missionaries, and Christian leaders in need of renewal.   With over 25 years of experience in both pastoral ministry and business leadership, Nathan brings a deep understanding of the unique pressures leaders face—and the critical importance of sustainable rhythms in a life of service. His work sits at the intersection of soul care and generosity, and his commitment to investing in leaders' longevity offers a unique and refreshing perspective on how to partner well with those in ministry.   Major Topics Include: Building daily margins to spend time with God Letting Jesus teach the practice of rest Creating daily and weekly finish lines for healthy rhythms Learning the difference between working for God and working with God Asking: How much of yourself is enough to give in ministry? Embracing the concept of slowing down to move faster Exploring how rest and generosity intersect in relationships Finding practical ways to care for your spiritual leaders Combining “space” and “face” to minister refreshment Sharing stories of transformation through rest QUOTES TO REMEMBER “If you're not loving yourself or taking care of yourself and your immediate family, then how can you minister in any context?” “Leaders are really good at giving, but they don't know how to receive.” “The presence of Jesus in that sacred space accompanied with a sacred face invited a holy moment that's transformational.” “Once you've had the opportunity to be in a space, to unpack with a face, it's like all these new Kingdom dreams start to come alive.” “There was a rhythm to Jesus that was so grace-filled and generous because he would often withdraw to lonely places.” “When I build time with God into my life, when I've rested in my own soul, suddenly I can engage with my family in a much more generous way.” “Working for God and working with God are totally different things.” LINKS FROM THE SHOW Oasis Rest International The Overload Syndrome by Dr. Richard A.

Send us a textINTRODUCTION:De'Vannon discusses the dangers of engaging with New Age rhetoric and spell books without being protected by God, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Ghost. He emphasizes the deceptive nature of Lucifer, who can trick people into thinking they're moving forward while actually leading them astray. De'Vannon shares a vision where he saw God bring the universe down to its knees as a warning against venerating it above Him. De'Vannon also discusses the duality of the drag spirit, respect for the drag community, and the serious spiritual consequences of misusing spiritual gifts. He emphasizes the high accountability platform holders have before Yahweh and criticizes the mainstream use of terms like 'universe' which leads people away from Christ. The show touches on the queer community's prosperity and the spiritual gifts God has bestowed upon them. Finally, De'Vannon calls for individual authenticity and a personal relationship with God via Christ, while criticizing the church's mishandling of the queer community and New Age spiritual practices that don't recognize Christ's supremacy.Playlists: https://music.apple.com/profile/DeVannonSeraphinoWebsite: https://www.SexDrugsAndJesus.comINCLUDED IN THIS EPISODE (But not limited to):·      Spellbook and Literature Warnings.·      God is Going to Overthrow the Idol that has Become the “Universe.”·      God Laughs in the Face of Pantheons.·      The Spirit of Drag.·      Drag Queen Accountability.·      The Power of Subtle Influence.·      Celebrity Accountability to Yahweh.·      Yahweh's Reckoning Against the Church for Queer Abuse.·      A Relationship with Christ is Necessary for Heaven.·      A Warning To Shamans and Spiritual Leaders.·      God Favors the Queer Community.·      Miracles are Happening.·      Chosen Family was Jesus' Idea.·      TIME IS OVER.CONNECT WITH DE'VANNON SERÁPHINO:TikTok: https://shorturl.at/nqyJ4YouTube: https://bit.ly/3daTqCMLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/devannonEmail: SDJPodcastNewYork@Gmail.comThanks for listening!!!

Start Your Transformation Now  In today's episode, we're diving into a powerful and eye-opening conversation that could transform the way you navigate your spiritual path. We'll unpack the truth about spiritual leaders - their influence, their limitations, and the often-overlooked consequences of misusing spiritual teachings.  This isn't just about calling out charlatans and ego-driven gurus; it's about empowering you to discern the difference between authentic guidance and those who exploit spirituality for personal gain. You'll discover why discernment is your most essential tool, how the limitations of those you follow can shape your own journey, and why reclaiming your personal power is critical to living in alignment with your highest self.  If you've ever questioned the intentions of the spiritual leaders you follow or sought clarity on who you can truly trust, this episode will provide the insights you need to protect your energy, avoid deception, and embrace the wisdom within yourself.   What You'll Discover in This Episode:  The Influence of Spiritual Leaders (01:08): How the limitations of those you follow can become your own and the importance of mindful alignment with authentic teachers.  Energetic Consequences of Abuse (10:57): Why spiritual charlatans eventually face repercussions and the impact of violating spiritual laws.  True Spiritual Guidance (14:51): Don Xavier's wisdom on being a channel for energy rather than exploiting it for personal gain.  Discernment in the Spiritual Space (27:00): How to identify manipulation and protect yourself from exploitative practices.  Your Role as a Creator (32:46): Embrace your ability to co-create your life while navigating the complexities of spiritual mentorship.  Listen, apply, and enjoy!  Transformational Takeaway: Be wise and mindful about who you follow. Authentic teachers guide with integrity and alignment, while charlatans exploit for personal gain. Discernment is your most valuable tool in navigating spiritual relationships and protecting your energy.  Resources Mentioned: Book: Shaman, Healer, Sage: How to Heal Yourself and Others with the Energy Medicine of the Americas by Alberto Villoldo Ph.D. Let's Connect:   Instagram Facebook YouTube LinkedIn   LIKED THE EPISODE?  If you're the kind of person who likes to help others, then share this with your friends and family.

The book of Philippians is widely known for a handful of famous passages and its practical encouragement. However, what else do we know about this letter? Who wrote it? Why did they write it? Who was it written to? Do the answers to these questions help us understand and live out what is found in this text? Of course! Today we will explore the context of the book of Philippians and discuss some specific titles that are mentioned in the first few verses. I pray that this simple overview will help us to not overlook details that matter as we seek to understand and follow what Scripture teaches.   Speaker: Pastor Ben Dixon Scripture: Philippians 1:1-2 Series: Joy in a Jail Cell   Northwest Church - www.nwcfoursquare.org "On mission with Jesus to see the lost saved and disciples made."
