Podcasts about spiritual growth

What a thrill to interview my oldest daughter and one of her very best friends. Ella and Landry have been friends since 3rd grade and it's so special to hear from two young women that are keeping their faith a priority in college. I ask them about their “favorites” from tennis shoes to rom-coms and then we get into some more serious topics.My favorite moment is when I ask each of them, “What is God teaching you right now?” I was blown away by their answers and also felt so thankful that they are both engaged in their college church communities. Ask your kiddos that question this Christmas break and let them share about their faith. I am always astounded when I learn how much depth and wisdom is in these teens. They are wiser than you know.You also don't want to miss my opening story about an “elf on the shelf” adventure gone wrong. I am still feeling a little rattled from it. Enjoy!Courtney 00:00 Introduction and Guest Introductions07:05 High School Experiences and Advice10:02 Navigating Junior Year Challenges14:54 Senior Year Reflections and Relationships18:26 Maintaining Faith in High School23:35 Parental Guidance and Support25:37 Navigating High School Dynamics26:56 Understanding Teen Communication28:04 The High School Experience: Challenges and Growth30:51 Transitioning to College Life33:35 Building Friendships in College37:48 Spiritual Growth and Lessons Learned43:18 Legacy of Love: Lessons from GrandmothersConnect with Pardon The Mess:Christian ParentingPardon The Mess Courtney DeFeoORDER YOUR 2026-2027 PRAYER JOURNAL NOWResources from today's show:Ella's new sneakers - Back 70Yahtzee GameNertz GameQuiplash (on Apple TV)New Morning Mercies devotionalSupport Christian ParentingPrefer video?

Did you know our weaknesses don't hinder God's work, but rather the illusion of our strength? Join Ricky Burge as he reveals how God's strength is made perfect in our weakness!

What sorrow awaits rebellious, polluted Jerusalem, the city of violence and crime! No one can tell it anything; it refuses all correction. It does not trust in the Lord or draw near to its God. Its leaders are like roaring lions hunting for their victims. Its judges are like ravenous wolves at evening time, who by dawn have left no trace of their prey. Its prophets are arrogant liars seeking their own gain. Its priests defile the Temple by disobeying God's instructions. But the Lord is still there in the city, and he does no wrong. Day by day he hands down justice, and he does not fail. - Zephaniah 3:1-5The book of Zephaniah, while being another in the line of prophets sharing God's message of judgment and repentance, deserves more time and attention than what we tend to give it. Only three chapters long, God's message through Zephaniah is a direct yet beautiful encapsulation of the themes we've seen so often in the prophets. It's a book about humility and unity. It's a book about repentance and turning hearts towards God. It's a book about God's judgment against oppressors, poor leaders, and idolatry. It's a book about the coming of the Lord and the God who not only saves, but will live among his people. To help us navigate the book of Zephaniah is Taylor Turkington, director of BibleEquipping, author of the book Trembling Faith on Habakkuk and has a commentary on Zephaniah being released next year. Doable Discipleship is a Saddleback Church podcast produced and hosted by Jason Wieland.

Send us a textA cave near Bethlehem. Stone, straw, and a light that still reaches us. We follow Saint Nicholas's quiet pilgrimage and find our own footing in a season when headlines blur, and hearts grow tired. The story of Emmanuel, God with us, becomes more than a lyric—it turns into a lifeline you can hold, a place you can enter, a presence you can trust when love feels heavy and the calendar won't slow down.We open with Nicholas's years near Beit Jala, exploring how a humble cave shaped his generous life. From there, we turn to the liturgies of Doug McKelvey's Every Moment Holy, to name the ache of too much information and too little strength. What if the most faithful move is to honor creaturely limits? What if justice and mercy begin with yielding the unbearable to the One whose shoulders can carry it? That shift reframes compassion, helping us respond to real needs that intersect our actual lives—family tensions, impatient lines, neighbors on edge—without going numb.Along the way, we offer simple prompts to list your griefs, discern your small share in God's redemptive work, and carry a single phrase of Scripture through the week. The goal isn't to escape reality; it's to live it with Emmanuel—fully God, fully human—beside you.If this speaks to you, follow the show, share it with a friend who needs rest, and leave a quick review to help others find this space.

Navigating the Void: A Deep Dive into Purpose Beyond PowerliftingIn this episode of the Intentional Athlete Podcast, host Ross Leppala welcomes powerlifting enthusiasts Mark Robb and Newton Cheng for a profound conversation about the evolution of their relationship with the sport. The trio explores the disorientation of reaching significant milestones, the ensuing 'what's next?' phase, and the balance between doing and being. They delve into topics like the emotional component of competing, letting go of attachments, the importance of community, and how to navigate a goal-less state. Whether you're a seasoned lifter, coach, or someone reevaluating your life's pursuits, this discussion offers valuable insights into aligning your mindset, emotions, and actions.00:00 Introduction to the Intentional Athlete Podcast00:51 Today's Special Guests: Mark and Newton01:18 Navigating the Unknown: Embracing Uncertainty02:04 Starting the Conversation: Mark and Newton's Journey04:31 The Pursuit of Strength: Achievements and Challenges07:04 Shifting Passions: Beyond Powerlifting11:32 Spiritual Growth and Emotional Awareness17:40 The Power of Presence and Community38:59 Manifesting Your Path: Belief and Creation49:03 Childhood Lessons and Generational Differences50:30 The Discomfort of the Void51:24 Powerlifting Anecdotes and Emotional Challenges53:47 Philosophical Shifts and Modern Challenges55:55 Navigating Goals and Emotional States58:52 Balancing Attachment and Non-Attachment01:03:45 Spiritual Growth and Powerlifting01:20:39 The Role of Fear and Control01:30:43 Concluding Thoughts and Reflections

Since God's word is our foundation of truth, a lamp unto our feet, a light for our path. If Jesus told His first disciples to pray His will be done on earth as it is in Heaven, and God never changes, would it be fare to say we're supposed to be doing the same thing His first disciples did?

The question we need to ask ourselves is do we honestly believe that Jesus still heals today? Think about it, this side of Heaven, in this fallen, cursed world, outside of miracles or the practice of medicine, according to Jesus, healing by an individual's faith is still a reality. And a key component in us experiencing healing by faith is that we have to get settled on what God's will is concerning this reality.

What about us today? Now that we are in Christ, are we suppose to to carry on the things He did? Seriously, follow Jesus through the scriptures, every where He went to preach the people brought their sick to His meetings. Why? They had heard something. They came to hear Him and be healed

Our new talk “Mind Your Mind” is a simple challenge for all of us to take a closer look at what's influencing our mind. What's shaping our thought life. Maybe even take a step back and ask ourselves, why we believe what we believe. Seriously, think about what we're asking people to believe. We have to understand, regardless of where someone is in their journey, every human lives within the boundaries of a belief system we've established.

One of the names of Jesus – Mighty God – is a beautiful reminder of the strength and peace that Christ provides. Coach Nat Crawford takes a close look at this powerful name to encourage you and help you focus on what truly matters during this season!As a thank you for this month's donation......we'll send you the newest release from author and theologian Dr. Harold Berry on Revelation: Daily Scriptures to Receive, Reflect, and RespondFor Christians who want to go deeper in their understanding of the book of Revelation.Yours with a gift of any amount.Thank you for supporting the mission of Christ.

What happens when you love a practice but recognize the harm within its structures? In this raw and revelatory conversation, Harmony sits down with Zoe Ward—long-time Ashtanga practitioner, authorized teacher, and the voice behind @unrulyascetic—to explore what it means to dismantle a tradition from within. Zoe spent years immersed in Mysore, studying with lineage teachers, and fully embodying the discipline that defines Ashtanga yoga. But somewhere along the way, she began to see the cracks: the privilege required to practice this way, the power dynamics that mutate devotion into dogma, the loss of autonomy when teachers dictate who you are and what's good for you. This conversation doesn't shy away from the uncomfortable truths—the hierarchy, the gatekeeping, the ways we've normalized abuse while failing to normalize talking about it. But it also offers something essential: a path forward. Zoe shares how she's rebuilding her relationship with practice, helping others reclaim their agency, and creating space for people to trust themselves again. Whether you're a devoted practitioner, a disillusioned teacher, or someone who's quietly stepped away from the mat, this episode offers permission to question, evolve, and find your own unruly path to freedom. Topics Discussed: • The privilege required to practice traditional Ashtanga yoga • Power dynamics and hierarchy in yoga communities • When devotion becomes dogma and disconnection • Confronting harm and accountability in spiritual communities • Reclaiming autonomy and trusting yourself in practice • Finding the intelligence in the system without rigid adherence • Building community that doesn't gatekeep or sort practitioners Lightworker Alignment Call: https://harmonyslater.as.me/quick-clarity Upcoming events: https://harmonyslater.com/events 21 Day Money Magic Manifestation Challenge: https://community-harmonyslater.com/landing/plans/1542444Use PROMO CODE for additional $20 Savings: MANIFESTATIONMAGIC  FREE Manifestation Activation: https://harmonyslater.kit.com/manifestation-activation FIND Harmony: https://harmonyslater.com/ JOIN the Finding Harmony Community: https://community-harmonyslater.com/ Harmony on IG: https://www.instagram.com/harmonyslaterofficial/ Finding Harmony Podcast on IG: https://www.instagram.com/findingharmonypodcast/ FREE 2 min breathwork practice: https://harmonyslater.com/morning-breathwork-optin Find your Spiritual Entrepreneur Archetype!

This message is all about desire. What is the Holy Spirit of God specifically asking you to do in your life as you walk with him? Are you walking close enough with the Lord that you know clearly what it is that God wants from you?

You've collected the crystals, journals, oracle decks, meditations, breathwork practices, and spiritual tools… so why do you still feel stuck? In this episode of Cacao Conversations, Julietta and Graciela explore a pattern they see all the time in the healing and personal growth space: endlessly searching for the right tool to fix everything—then abandoning it when the results aren't instant. We talk about why most healing tools don't fail… we simply don't stay with them long enough. You'll learn the difference between collecting tools and actually embodying them, why consistency matters more than finding the perfect practice, and how our culture's addiction to instant gratification quietly sabotages real transformation. This is an honest, compassionate conversation about self-trust, devotion, and what it truly takes to create lasting change—without shame, pressure, or spiritual perfectionism. If you've ever felt frustrated, overwhelmed, or tempted to try “just one more thing,” this episode is an invitation to stop searching… and start listening. Sip.

Guided by shimmering elemental energies, animal spirits, and a Native American chief, Forst receives powerful insights into his life transformation, creative purpose, and divine calling in art and architecture. As Forest navigates career uncertainty and stalled commissions, spirit clarifies that this isn't an ending but a sacred redirection toward work inspired by the Divine. Tune in for a heartfelt, encouraging, and mystical reading that reminds us that when life turns upside down, spirit may be turning us toward something greater.

What happens when a sixth-generation shaman, psychic medium, and spiritual activator sits down with us live at Spirit Fest? Energy surges so strongly it literally knocks the livestream offline. In this electrifying conversation, we meet Jax Cassie, the first female shaman in her powerful Vietnamese lineage, a role traditionally passed only to men. But Jax didn't choose the path. The path chose her… and it began the moment her father appeared to her one week after he died. From that moment forward, Jax stepped into a destiny rooted in spiritual awakening, intuition development, and deep ancestral alignment.During our conversation, she demonstrates her ability to: ✨ Communicate directly with the spirit realm✨ See and feel energies, ancestors, and spirit guides✨ Astral project into someone's home to diagnose energetic imbalances✨ Track a person's life purpose, alignment, and future opportunities✨ Deliver real-time intuitive readings that activate the listener's own awakening And yes… she gave both of us a shockingly accurate on-the-spot reading...including predictions about collaborations, media expansion, and a major consciousness-driven platform shift. Whether you're a believer, a skeptic, or somewhere in between, this episode pushes you to rethink modern spirituality, the mechanics behind manifestation, and the real-world application of energy healing in everyday life. You'll hear Jax explain:Why true shamans serve as “Oracles of the Village”How she sees spirits through their skin, and how she learned to control her visionThe difference between wishful thinking and aligned manifestationWhy intuition is useless without actionWhat a 12-month energetic forecast really looks likeThe role of ancestors in guiding your soul purposeWhy awakening often accelerates when you meet certain people at exactly the right momentIf you've ever wondered how near-death experiences, life after death, spirit communication, and higher-level healing might actually operate behind the scenes… you won't want to miss this conversation. This is spiritual growth with no fluff. Awakening with no filters. Practical mysticism for the modern world. And according to Jax, if you're listening to this episode, it isn't an accident... it's an activation.What You'll Learn in This EpisodeThe truth about shamanic lineage and why certain abilities are inheritedHow ancestral energy influences your success, relationship choices, and timingWhat a psychic actually sees when a spirit enters the roomWhy many people misunderstand manifestationHow to know if you're in alignment with your soul purposeWhat happens when your energy field begins expanding faster than your life circumstancesWhy meeting the “right person at the right moment” is often a spiritual activationAbout Jax:A sixth-generation Vietnamese shaman, psychic medium, and healer, Jax is known for her ability to see energetic misalignments, communicate with ancestors, and guide people into powerful states of alignment and awakening. She specializes in life purpose, intuitive activation, and multidimensional clearing work. Her presence alone shifts energy, and Spirit Fest audiences feel it instantly.Subscribe, Rate & Review!

What does it truly mean to make disciples? In this powerful four-part conclusion to the Commands of Christ series, we explore the Great Commission as the crescendo of all that Jesus commanded. Rooted in Matthew 28:18–20, this series calls us to move from inward transformation to outward multiplication. As we have spent four years treasuring, meditating on, and living out Christ's commands, we now step into the command to teach others to observe all things He has taught us.Are we actively living out the Great Commission in our own lives? What does it truly look like to treasure Christ's commands and help others do the same?As we reflect on these four years of immersing ourselves in the commands of Christ, we now arrive at the crescendo: making disciples. This command, rooted in the Great Commission (Matthew 28:18–20), is not merely a call to evangelize, but a lifelong invitation to teach others to observe—to guard, treasure, and live out—all that Christ has commanded. Discipleship is not about producing spiritual converts alone, but nurturing disciplined followers of Jesus, shaped by His Word and empowered by His presence. We are reminded that the authority to go comes not from ourselves, but from the risen Christ who sends and stays with us. True discipleship begins in the quiet places of worship, overflows from a heart that treasures His Word, and is sustained by the power of His Spirit. As we go, we do not go alone—we go with the King, bearing His heart to the nations. May we live in obedience to His call, becoming disciples who make disciples, for His glory and by His grace.Want to go deeper in studying this command of Christ?

How can the ancient Hebrew language unlock a deeper way of listening to Christ with our whole heart, soul, and might?In this week's episode of Latter-Day Lights, Scott Brandley and guest co-host Emily Hemmert sit down with Dr. Trina Boice—university professor, longtime author, avid scripture educator, and Hebrew enthusiast—to explore the “Via Dolorosa,” more commonly known as the sorrowful path Christ walked from condemnation to crucifixion. Dr. Trina shares what it's like to trace the traditional stations through Jerusalem, why this journey can reframe the Atonement as more than a single moment, and how sacred spaces (even outside our own faith tradition) can invite powerful spiritual reflection. Together, these experiences point to a discipleship that is not only believed, but lived through both body and spirit.And, as we look ahead to the 2026 "Come, Follow Me" study of the Old Testament, Trina introduces a foundational Hebrew word, “Shema,” and how its layers of meaning (to hear, to hearken, to obey) can transform the way we approach scripture study and prayer. Along the way, she shares moving experiences from the Western Wall, insights into Jewish worship and devotion, and a renewed invitation to find Jesus Christ woven throughout the Old Testament.Ultimately, this conversation invites us to move beyond simply reading the scriptures to truly living them. Through language, history, and lived experience, Dr. Trina reminds us that discipleship is not passive, but a wholehearted response to the Savior's voice in every season of our lives.*** Please SHARE Dr. Trina's story and help us spread hope and light to others. ***To WATCH this episode on YouTube, visit: https://youtu.be/ZsmC_RzdGeg-----To LEARN MORE about Dr. Trina, visit: https://www.TrinaBoice.comTo LEARN MORE about Dr. Trina's author coaching services, visit: https://www.frombook2business.com/To READ Dr. Trina's book, "The Language of Heaven," visit: https://a.co/d/4j5b4kXTo READ Dr. Trina's book, "Via Dolorosa," visit: https://www.cedarfort.com/products/via-dolorosa-christs-path-to-the-cross?srsltid=AfmBOoriQlGGDu7ngEuLrfu0GN38cg1FUe-z7ovPv7bYXO6i-NCc9pD6To LISTEN to Dr. Trina's podcast, "Daily Inspirational Quote," visit: https://open.spotify.com/show/17RPUlzByZQVu4zmqktoZ0?si=86c6033495a048f1To WATCH Dr. Trina's movie reviews, visit: https://www.youtube.com/c/MovieReviewMom To READ Scott's new book “Faith to Stay” for free, visit: https://www.faithtostay.com/-----Keep updated with us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/latter.day.lights/Follow us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/latterdaylightsAlso, if you have a faith-promoting or inspiring story, or know someone who does, please let us know by going to https://www.latterdaylights.com and reaching out to us.

What if the breakthrough you're praying for doesn't begin with your circumstances changing…But with how you SEE? In today's episode, I'm guiding you through a powerful, Spirit-led visualization, an encounter designed to help you rise above the noise, breathe again, and see your life the way God sees it. If you've been in a “hallway season”…If you've been waiting, wondering, or feeling unsure of what's next…If your peace has felt thin and your clarity even thinner…This experience is for you.Inside this episode, you'll:

The hardest part of ascension often shows up after you awaken, when things suddenly feel heavier, quieter, or strangely unclear. I see many people reach this phase and start questioning why life no longer feels the way it did earlier on the path. In this episode, I speak to that uncomfortable in-between space where something has clearly shifted, but hasn't fully come into view yet.

Wise men traveled far to worship Jesus with costly gifts—so what gifts are you bringing to Him today? In Pastor Phil's sermon from Matthew 2:1-11, we learn how the Magi's offering of gold reveals Jesus' deity and royalty and how real worship always involves sacrifice. Discover how worship is a lifestyle as we unpack Romans 12:1 and explore four practical ways to honor God every day. You'll learn how to worship God with your body by honoring Him with purity and obedience, with your abilities by doing everything for His glory, with your money by putting treasure where your heart is, and with your mouth by declaring His praise. If you're ready to move beyond Sunday songs into a life of surrendered worship, this message will challenge and encourage you to bring Jesus your very best—just like the wise men did. Connect with us on Social Media ↴Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/abundantlifels/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/abundantlifelsConnect with Pastor Phil ↴Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/PhilHopperKCInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/philhopper_kcBooks & Resources: https://abundant-life.com/resources/books Listen to The Well Podcast ⤵Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/5wadnywAMEK7c0E1qatMoY?si=SjH6Ko7VR3OoHrRy1yYLlQ&nd=1&dlsi=395ae55d95ac4b11Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-well/id1233267223YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLR50sV854C2hogfBmv7YogvCjiNYLz9a2Find Your Next Step: https://alife.livingproof.co/ Watch more sermons: https://abundant-life.com/sermons/Do you want to see your life changed by Jesus?

Send us a text Welcome to the beginning of our slow-and-deep journey through Matthew 5–7—the Sermon on the Mount. In this series intro, we step onto the hillside with Jesus and explore what's really happening in this moment: crowds gathering, disciples leaning in, and the King unveiling life in the Kingdom of God. This isn't an entrance exam to Christianity—it's the curriculum for apprentices of Jesus. We'll talk about why these chapters are essential for understanding our place as Christians, how they reshape our identity (not just our behavior), and how we're going to walk through them at a pace that allows real transformation.

The simplest moments can change your direction. We begin with a joy practice—fur-baby cuddles, playful journaling, and creative micro-steps—that gently trains attention and makes room for what matters. From that grounded place, we open an Akashic Records message for mid-December and explore what it means to “come around the bend” into a wider view: sudden clarity, fewer distractions, and the confidence to take the next right step without forcing a six-month plan.I share real-time creative progress on an Oracle deck and how a 15–20 minute commitment can turn a vague intention into a finished page, a clarified decision, or a calmer nervous system. We unpack a simple two-part journal prompt—What do I most want to accomplish right now? What do I need to do to accomplish that?—and show how to use it for relationships, spirituality, and work. Along the way, the Nine of Earth (reversed) from The Good Tarot offers an inner invitation: strengthen self-reliance, honor your resources, and place the final stone in your foundation through steady, kind discipline.If you're feeling stuck at a crossroads, this conversation offers practical spiritual tools, heart-centered psychology, and creative rituals that return you to yourself. Follow the lit path, protect new space as distractions fade, and let small actions build real momentum.

This week, Justin sits down with bestselling author Laura McKowen for an honest, layered conversation about sobriety, identity, creative calling, and the slow, often painful work of becoming whole. Together they explore:• Why “place” matters for emotional and spiritual grounding• The strange internal pull that guides creative people long before they have language for it• How early snippets of desire can act as breadcrumbs into a future self• The difference between writing for yourself and writing for publication• Why AA saved Laura's life—and where its framing can unintentionally keep people small• How relapse, repeated “Day Ones,” and imperfect recovery are part of the human journey• The relationship between money, creativity, and integrity• Why the long work of sobriety is ultimately a long work of identityThe episode closes with a reading from In the Low and a reflection on why wholeness—not speed, not perfection—is the actual goal.Laura's Website - https://www.lauramckowen.comInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/laura_mckowen Links For Justin:Read Justin's SubstackOrder In The Low - NEW Book with Scott EricksonCoaching with JustinOrder In Rest - New Book of PoemsOrder Sacred StridesJustinMcRoberts.comSupport this podcastNEW Single - Let GoNEW Music - Sliver of HopeNEW Music - The Dood and The BirdThe Book - It Is What You Make itHearts and Minds Amazon Barnes and Noble

Hello everyone and welcome to another episode of Trudge Report. Join us this week as we recap our weekends and do a little favorite and least favorite Christmas movie around the horn. Greg has a new house guest and let us not forget that Corey almost became a national hero at a Christmas parade. The recovery segment surrounds the idea of what can or cannot define our Higher Powers? We share some of our personal experiences and anecdotes as we were new in recovery and were given counsel by those who came before us. Does a person have to believe in a traditional deity or type of theology? Can nature or the Recovery Group itself be an adequate Higher Power? We discuss how our ideas of what we believe has been influenced by our upbringing and both negative and positive experiences. We finished the show with a personal segment of how each of us came to believe."Let God have your life; He can do more with it than you can." - Dwight L. MoodyDon't forget to like, share, rate, and download the podcast on all of your listening platforms.

In this episode, you'll discover:✨ Why mistranslations in the Bible kept you from Christ consciousness✨ How your root chakra holds religious trauma from childhood programming✨ The energetic shift happening now for souls completing 3D incarnationHave you ever felt like the God you were taught to worship doesn't match the God you actually experience? Like there's this massive gap between what you were told to believe and what your soul knows to be true?I grew up in a world where God was a checklist. Say the right prayers. Follow the right rules. Fear the right things. And for a long time, I thought leaving religion meant leaving God entirely. I couldn't even say the word "God" without feeling like I was betraying the version of myself that had fought so hard to break free. So I called it the universe instead. The source. Anything but the loaded word that carried so much baggage.But here's what I've learned. Deconstructing your faith isn't the same as losing your connection to something greater. Sometimes you have to tear down the walls of the house you were raised in to discover the foundation was always sacred.Today our guest is David Hulse, founder of the Academy for Spiritual Awakening and a longtime researcher of ancient texts, energy healing, and the intersection of biblical interpretation and consciousness. He's spent over 60 years moving from fear-based religion to love-based spirituality, and he's here to help you do the same.Links from the episode:Show Notes: mindlove.com/431Join the Mind Love Collective here: https://mindlove.com/joinSign up for The Morning Mind Love for short daily notes to wake up inspiredSupport Mind Love SponsorsSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

One Year Bible Podcast: Join Hunter and Heather Barnes on 'The Daily Radio Bible' for a daily 20-minute spiritual journey. Engage with scripture readings, heartfelt devotionals, and collective prayers that draw you into the heart of God's love. Embark on this year-long voyage through the Bible, and let each day's passage uplift and inspire you. TODAY'S EPISODE: Welcome to the Daily Radio Bible! On this episode for December 9th, join Hunter as he guides us through a thoughtful reading of First Timothy chapters 5 and 6, followed by the book of Titus. As your brother and Bible reading coach, Hunter invites you to quiet your heart, reflect on Scripture, and focus on genuine Christian living. Together, you'll explore what it looks like to serve others, leading a life of productivity and meaning rooted in serving, rather than self-interest. Today's episode also offers comforting prayers for Advent, encouragement to trust in God's goodness, and practical reminders—like making space for soul care and simple pleasures (yes, even a good bowl of chicken soup!). Listen in for reflection, nourishment for your soul, and a powerful reminder that you are deeply loved. TODAY'S DEVOTION: Focus on others. Paul says here in verse 14, "Our people must learn to do good by meeting the urgent needs of others. Then they will not be unproductive." Ironically, the opposite is true. If you want to have an unproductive life, an unfruitful life, then focus only on yourself. Zig Ziglar put it this way: "You can get everything in life you want if you'll just help enough other people to get what they want." And in John 12:24, Jesus says, "I tell you the truth, unless a kernel of wheat is planted in the soil and dies, it remains alone. But its death will produce many new kernels, a plentiful harvest of new lives." A productive and fulfilling life comes when we take the focus off ourselves and begin to serve others. This doesn't mean that your life isn't worth anything, that abasement and self-degradation are the goal. No—your life is absolutely worthy of respect and love and care. Christ has demonstrated for us just how valuable your life is, and he has shown us the context of our lives. We are creatures made in relationship to others, and your own unique gifting and glory will find its deepest and truest expression as we pursue our lives in service to others. When we die to making this life about us, then we will have all that we want—more than we could have imagined in this life and in the life to come. And we can actually begin to do that now. Because our anxieties about our lives have been dealt with in Christ. He has restored our self-respect. He has made clear what our value is, so we don't have to try to compensate for something we think is missing, and fight to make this life all about us. The Gospel of Mark says, "For even the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve others and to give his life as a ransom for many." So let us learn to do good by meeting the urgent needs of others, and we will not be unproductive. That's the prayer that I have for my own soul. That's the prayer that I have for my family, for my wife, my daughters, my son. And that's the prayer that I have for you. May it be so. TODAY'S PRAYERS: Lord God Almighty and everlasting father you have brought us in safety to this new day preserve us with your Mighty power that we might not fall into sin or be overcome by adversity. And in all we do, direct us to the fulfilling of your purpose  through Jesus Christ Our Lord amen.   Oh God you have made of one blood all the peoples of the earth and sent your blessed son to preach peace to those who are far and those who are near. Grant that people everywhere may seek after you, and find you. Bring the nations into your fold, pour out your Spirit on all flesh, and hasten the coming of your kingdom through Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen.   And now Lord,  make me an instrument of your peace.  Where there is hatred let me sow love. Where there is injury, pardon.  Where there is doubt, faith. Where there is despair, hope.  Where there is darkness, light.  And where there is sadness,  Joy.  Oh Lord grant that I might not seek to be consoled as to console. To be understood as to understand, to be loved as to love.  For it is in the giving that we receive, in the pardoning that we are pardoned, it is in the dying that we are born unto eternal life.  Amen And now as our Lord has taught us we are bold to pray... Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom come thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven, give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our tresspasses as we forgive those who trespass against us, and lead us not unto temptation, but deliver us from evil, for thine is the Kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen. Loving God, we give you thanks for restoring us in your image. And nourishing us with spiritual food, now send us forth as forgiven people, healed and renewed, that we may proclaim your love to the world, and continue in the risen life of Christ.  Amen.  OUR WEBSITE: www.dailyradiobible.com We are reading through the New Living Translation.   Leave us a voicemail HERE: https://www.speakpipe.com/dailyradiobible Subscribe to us at YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@Dailyradiobible/featured OTHER PODCASTS: Listen with Apple Podcast DAILY BIBLE FOR KIDS DAILY PSALMS DAILY PROVERBS DAILY LECTIONARY DAILY CHRONOLOGICAL
