Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with Wednesdays on Whidbey and your host, Diane Wyzga. El Toro Sailing. My US Navy pediatric nurse off-duty days were spent sailing a tiny boat in the shipping channel off the Port of Norfolk. Believe it or not I sailed an 8x4 foot single-masted, centerboard El Toro that flew across the water. An old skipper powered a battered motor boat across the waves, curling around my boat with a great rooster tail spraying, and hurled a white styrofoam block wrapped with an old rope. It landed right in my lap. The block had been hollowed out to fit 2 cold cans of beer. That was a good day! Bad days. But when the days weren't so good, when I had more downs than ups, kids got worse, some died, moms needed comforting and support when dads were away at sea, self-doubts about working pediatrics crowded my thoughts, or a well-deserved leave was cancelled, I had to learn to “hold fast.” Hold Fast at Sea. For centuries sailing was a dangerous profession, and ships were often caught in storms or rough seas. “Hold fast!” commanded sailors to secure equipment, and ropes or lines to prevent accidents or maintain safety and stability on ships especially during turbulent weather conditions. Sailors would shout “hold fast!” to each other when they needed to grab onto something firmly so that they wouldn't get thrown off balance by the towering waves. Sailors learned quickly that “hold fast” means to maintain a firm grip on something despite external forces trying to pull it away. It could come down to saving a life or “man overboard” at a time when few boys and men knew how to swim. Hold Fast Today. Over time, “hold fast” came to mean strength, perseverance and determination in facing adversity when challenges threatened to unmoor your own stability. While the old nautical term and the present day variation have distinct meanings, they share a common thread: steadfastness. Whether you're holding onto a rope during rough seas or standing up for what you believe in, “hold fast” requires unwavering commitment and resilience. The Future Will Prevail. The unprecedented conditions we find ourselves in today demand a grounded personal presence of internal strength and determination, maintaining one's grip on values, kindness, empathy, and holding on to hope. The worn out, deteriorated, broken-down, and decaying patriarchy is railing against the future. The future will prevail. We must hold fast so that it arrives. Hold fast with all the resilience you can muster even when you feel you cannot hold fast a moment longer. That is the place the tide will turn. CTA: What if we hold fast and we get things right?

In this message, Samuel Goulet challenges the church to measure spiritual health by faithfulness rather than comfort, success, or financial security. Looking at the churches of Smyrna and Laodicea, he contrasts a people who are materially poor yet spiritually rich with a people who appear prosperous but have grown lukewarm and complacent. Samuel encourages listeners to remain steadfast through suffering, allow trials to deepen trust in God, and remember that true richness comes from intimacy with Jesus, repentance, purity, and the ongoing work of the Holy Spirit.

DZ-129: Steadfast Character Arcs - Agents of Change

Draft Zero: a screenwriting podcast

Listen to learn how to move an audience with a character who never changes. Do characters need to change for you to have a satisfying story? That's a question we've been asking since, like, episode five of this podcast. And we're finally talking about it! In this continuation of our deep dive into character arcs -- Stu, Chas and Mel break down MOANA, APOLLO 13 and THE DRESSMAKER to work out what carries a story when a character arc doesn't. If your protagonist isn't going to change, the drama has to come from what they do to everyone else. We do manage to figure out some tools that carry a steadfast story: doubt and wobble (a character with no doubt isn't steadfast, they're a psychopath), emotional events between characters, and a distinction borrowed from operant conditioning — additive rewards (you gain something) versus subtractive ones (something is taken away). The subtractive reward is why a happy ending can still feel like loss... and it's the thing we reckon that'll matter most when we get to negative arcs. We also wibble-wobble over WILLOW, TAKEN, FERRIS BUELLER'S DAY OFF, THE MARTIAN, PROJECT HAIL MARY, THE GREY, ALL IS LOST, STAR WARS (as always), GREY GARDENS, PRISCILLA, and how many tampons NASA sent to space.

You've got the bills, the kids are fighting over the remote, and you feel like you're just treading water in a big, dark ocean. It's easy to feel like you're drifting, isn't it? Like whatever you do, it's not enough.Scripture Bridge: But the Bible gives us a promise that holds steady, even when the waves are high.The Need for a Hold: We all need something solid to hold onto. If we try to hold onto our own strength, we'll just end up exhausted. We're made of clay, and clay cracks under pressure.The Steadfastness of God: The Lord is not a shifting sand. He is the rock. When the storms of life—whether they are financial, relational, or just plain exhausting—hit us, we don't need to find a new anchor; we just need to remember the one that's already been set.Resting in His Power: True rest isn't just sleeping; it's knowing that the One who holds the universe together is holding you right now.Application: Tonight, I want you to take a moment and just breathe. Don't try to solve tomorrow's problems. Just whisper a prayer of thanks for the day that was. Then, lay your worries at His feet. He's got the anchor set.

Deconstruction isn't a modern invention — Paul saw it coming two thousand years ago and gave the church its prescription.

Join us as we look at the nature of the fight worth having, the weapons Paul says every believer carries, and what it looks like when those weapons are laid down.Fight the good fight...1) The nature of it2) The weapons for it3) The cautionary examples to avoidText: 1 Timothy 1:18-20

Hesed means: Loyal Love, Unfailing Kindness, Faithfulness, and Steadfastness.“...he genuinely cares about humans and holds toward them a tender attitude of concern and mercy.”- Douglas Stuart “...he does things for people they do not deserve and goes beyond what might be expected to grant truly kind favor toward people, favor of which they are not necessarily worthy.”- Douglas Stuart “Hesed cannot be translated with one English word. It is a covenant term, wrapping up in itself all the positive attributes of God: love, covenant faithfulness, mercy, grace, kindness, loyalty. In short, it refers to acts of devotion and loving kindness that go beyond the requirements of duty.”– Daniel BlockGod reveals Himself as compassionate, gracious, slow to anger, and rich in faithful love. This hesed is not casual kindness but covenant loyalty. It is love that remains steady even when undeserved. This is who God is at His core. That same description echoes throughout Scripture:- Numbers 14:18- Nehemiah 9:17- Psalm 86:15- Psalm 103:8- Psalm 145:8- Joel 2:13- Jonah 4:2- Nahum 1:3These are not isolated statements but a consistent reminder of His character across generations. God is slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love.This is not only something to understand, it is something that transforms us. As we behold God, we are changed. What we fix our attention on shapes who we become. Being with Him and keeping Him before our minds forms us over time into that same kind of life.“Who we are on the inside, we will eventually become on the outside.”- Pete ScazzeroSaint Irenaeus wrote, “The glory of God is a human being fully alive; and to be alive consists in beholding God.”“The first and most basic thing we can and must do is to keep God before our minds... This is the fundamental secret of caring for our souls. Our part in this practicing the presence of God is to direct and redirect our minds constantly to Him. In the early time of our 'practicing' we may well be challenged by our burdensome habits of dwelling on things less than God. But these are habits - not the law of gravity - and can be broken...A new, grace-filled habit will replace the former ones as we take intentional steps toward keeping God before us. Soon our minds will return to God as the needle of a compass constantly returns to the north. If God is the great longing of our souls, He will become the pole star of our inward beings.”- Dallas Willard

Jude 20–25 lays out a steady path for worn-down believers built around three directions: inward, outward, and upward. Inwardly, it calls believers to take responsibility for their faith by building on a solid foundation through prayer in the Spirit, staying rooted in God's love, and holding onto hope in Christ's coming mercy. That kind of hope lifts the heart out of present discouragement and anchors it in future restoration. Outwardly, faith shows up as action—offering patient mercy to those who doubt and stepping in urgently to help those drifting toward danger. Upwardly, the passage reminds believers that God is the one who keeps, strengthens, and ultimately presents them blameless with joy. Together, this creates a simple rhythm: stay grounded in God, reach out to others with compassion, and trust fully in His power to finish what He started.

In this teaching, we examine James 1:2–4 and explore why believers are called to rejoice in the face of trials. We see that trials test the genuineness of our faith, produce steadfastness, and ultimately lead to maturity.Show Notes: James urges believers to “count it all joy” when they experience trials—not because pain is good, but because YHWH uses it for a good purpose. Trials refine our devotion to the Messiah and develop steadfastness, which results in spiritual maturity and completeness. We also look to the story of Joseph as a powerful example of how YHWH shapes us through suffering.Scripture Highlights: James 1:2–4 James 1:12 James 2:5 1 Peter 1:6–7 Genesis 50:20 Takeaway: Trials are not meaningless—they're the furnace where faith is proven and character is formed.

By Gregory Sanny - Steadfastness is a good quality in many of our typical activities, but we can say we are steadfast toward God but still be wavering if God is not our first priority in devotion.
