Podcasts about Sufficiency

Would you like to be more in control of your energy? Do you want to experience a deeper state of "flow"? Lisa continues the conversation today with guest Christy Whitman, two-time New York Times bestselling author and transformational leader for the past 25 years. Christy teaches how to manifest and create your dream life, through the deliberate application of the Universal Laws. Her latest book is "The Flow Factor: How To Master Your Energy and Enter A State of Flow." She discusses the idea of "flow" and how to utilize daily practices to maintain that state. She talks about conscious and unconscious patterns and how we attract things into our lives. If we shine our light brighter, we can increase our "flow." Christy explains how when we go into judgement, we automatically go into negativity and lack. If you get into a negative place through criticism, you can get out by feeling compassion and light. Even giving ourselves a hug for 90 seconds can help to regulate our nervous system. We can tell ourselves that we are safe and that things will improve. We can choose how we feel. We can choose the words we tell ourselves. This can affect our limbic system. If we go into negativity, it can become a whirlwind, but Christy shares an exercise to offer relief and release. Christy invites us to explore the Universal Laws, including the Law of Attraction. She also discusses the healing "Council of Light" which she learned to channel several years ago. She works with Light and Energy to help others to increase their frequency. She talks about the choices we make and the importance of processing our emotions, so we do not stay in a place of worry, fear, or frustration. She reminds us again to bring in self-compassion as a way to shift our state and get back into flow. We will then be in a better position to bring in a solution. We need to come into a space of neutrality. From there we can get into abundance and flow. She also talks about the Law of Sufficiency and how it relates to the Law of Attraction and Abundance, as well as the importance of the words we speak.  This is Part 2 of the interview.

This evening's GO Conference speaker is Dr. Jeremy Kimble, Professor of Systemic and Applied Theology at Cedarville University. Dr. Kimble takes us to a number of passages in 2 Corinthians, and teaches that God meets us in our weakness to strengthen us to live on mission for Him.

Is trauma-informed counseling biblical—or is it undermining the sufficiency of Scripture?In this episode of Remnant Radio, we take a careful, biblical look at trauma-informed care, responding to recent critiques from pastors, biblical counselors, and theologians who argue that trauma-informed counseling is harming the church. Some claim that if Christians would simply repent, trust Jesus, and obey Scripture, trauma-informed approaches would be unnecessary—or even dangerous.So how should Christians think about trauma, trauma-informed counseling, and trauma-informed therapy?In Part One of this two-part discussion, we begin by defining trauma and trauma-informed care, ensuring we are speaking clearly and accurately. We then distinguish between trauma-informed pastoral counseling and trauma-informed therapy, including approaches such as EMDR, somatic experiencing, internal family systems, and polyvagal-informed therapy.We examine whether trauma-informed counseling is supported by Scripture by turning to the Book of Job, one of the Bible's most extensive treatments of suffering, trauma, and pastoral response. Job's condemnation of his friends as “miserable comforters” provides a sobering warning against theologically misinformed counsel that intensifies suffering rather than alleviating it.This episode also addresses key theological concerns, including:-The sufficiency of Scripture for salvation and sanctification-The doctrine of common grace and its relationship to medicine, psychology, and therapy-Whether trauma-informed care excuses sin or undermines repentance-How physiological trauma responses differ from sinful anxiety-Whether modern psychology should ever be subordinate to biblical authorityPart Two will move into practical application, offering a biblical framework for trauma-informed care that upholds Scripture, guards against theological compromise, and equips pastors, counselors, and Christians to care well for those who have suffered trauma.

The Sufficiency of Scripture. 2 Timothy 3:14-17. Lead Pastor Michael Clary

2 Corinthians 3:4-6 December 28, 2025 SS.Paul was confident about the Corinthian's recommendation-letter-status because Jesus Christ gave him that confidence. And he had good reason: he gave them the genuine gospel message, the church was started, and he could see God was doing a work there. So he continued in faith with confidence that the work of the gospel was having an impact. The source of his ministry sufficiency was God, who gave him authority to preach the gospel and enabled him to be effective in that ministry. This is all the more remarkable to Paul because of the nature of his message, a message that is connected to the new covenant.

This week's replay, one of the most popular episodes of 2025, features a profound conversation between Barry Barkan, visionary eldercare advocate and Pioneer Network co-founder, and AgingIN CEO Susan Ryan. These longtime friends discuss reimagining aging and the transformative potential of community, spirit, and consciousness. Barkan shares his journey from founding the Live Oak Institute to helping launch the Pioneer Network, driven by a belief that aging is not a problem to solve but a gift to elevate. He recounts his efforts to create a regenerative, inclusive community at the Jewish Home in Oakland—an idea that initially faced rejection but ultimately gained momentum and global influence, including a successful expansion into 15 homes in Israel. But this conversation goes beyond history. Barkan offers a deeply reflective vision for a paradigm shift—a movement from a worldview rooted in domination and separation to one grounded in interconnection, kindness, and sufficiency. He challenges listeners to see humanity as one living being, where every person and every creature matters. Together, Ryan and Barkan explore the concept of "Elder Awesome" and moving beyond traditional notions of "elder care." They also discuss the "Tao of Blessings"—a personal path to leave grace in every encounter Barkan offers his vision for communities and care environments rooted in equity, dignity, and accountability.

Prosperity doesn't have to be loud. At some point in a woman's life, success stops feeling like "more"  and starts to manifest as peace in the body.   In this solo episode, I explore why true prosperity doesn't come from striving, but from sufficiency, safety, and embodied self-expression.   Not either happiness or money, but both, supported by sustainability.   In this episode, I invite you to ask: • What does success mean when it is allowed to feel secure in the body? • Where am I still struggling internally instead of receiving? •    What becomes possible when sufficiency becomes the basis of my actions?  

Pastor Kurt takes a deep dive into Colossians 2:16-23 revealing how man-made religion looks spiritual but lacks the power to change the heart. In this passage, Paul urges believers to release themselves from religion and its empty rules, and instead root themselves in Christ, the only One who can truly transform their lives.

When I started my business, what I craved more than anything was the freedom to be the real me, the freedom to express myself and the freedom to grow. In this episode, I'm sharing my thoughts on freedom as an entrepreneur as well as what business looks like now as a mum of 4 kids under 5, making a full-time income on part-time hours and feeling safe to show up as myself in every part of my work. I talk about leaving my accounting job with no proof things would work, the quiet self-belief that kept me going and the kind of courage it takes to back yourself before you have results. If you've ever felt the pull to have a business where you can be the real you, this episode will help you reconnect with what you're really building for.

The Sufficiency of Christ Considered: Promises Made, Promises Kept - Expository Devotional on Hebrews 11:39-40All Urban Puritano explorations in expository preaching have been preached in a Spanish congregation and have been translated by yours truly to exemplify a hybrid Puritan approach to preaching for today. There is a simple style that presents the fruits of textual analysis and translates it into homiletical synthesis for the glory of God and the good of the congregation.There is an Intro/Exordium that introduces the theme of the sermon broadly and narrowing it to the text on which the theme is based. The second portion of the sermon is the theme of the text being exposited. This theme or topic is its doctrinal substance and what is predicated about the subjecht matter. Next, there are reasons and arguments proving the doctrinal substance is rightly divided. Once the truth has been explained, the uses of the doctrinal theme must be spelled out. Just as there is no compunction in judiciously formulating the sermon's doctrinal theme in a homiletically appropriate way, neither is there any compunction in pastorally and judiciously deriving warranted implications from the text to apply to the hearers' hearts and lives. Lastly the conclusion/epilogue serves to summarize the exposition and call hearers to worship God in Christ through the Spirit.For more on Puritan Preaching, take up and listen: https://share.transistor.fm/s/ace50a4bFor more of Christocentric Preaching, take up and listen: https://share.transistor.fm/s/a8809149For more on Redemptive Historical Preaching, take up and listen: https://share.transistor.fm/s/82422c88For seeing all of Christ in all of Scripture for all of life, take up and read my book: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DL8HGMGQ?ref_=cm_sw_r_ffobk_cp_ud_dp_QH3Q4HU3ACDOSIO6ULF6&bestFormat=trueFor helpful resources, please visit my hub: https://urbanpuritano.com/Who is sufficient unto these things?

Not very long ago, a British scholar named Bebbington worked to give a definition of the history of British Evangelicalism. But there was one phrase in his formulation that was interesting: social reform. So, should “social reform” occupy a spot of primacy in believers' lives?

James encourages that grace is enough and that God's kingdom is built and sustained by those who dare to step out and act in faith.

Knowing God by Name – Women’s Fall Focus Thursdays The post Names of Sufficiency – Margie Stewart appeared first on Calvary Vista.

In this episode of The Doctor Coach School™ Podcast, I'm pulling back the curtain on something that might sting a little—but will ultimately set you free: the inner emotional state that determines whether your business feels magnetic or repelling.I recorded this episode straight from my heart—no script, no outline, just revelation. It came to me while I was at the gym, reflecting on how our internal sense of sufficiency (or insufficiency) shapes everything in our coaching businesses—from how we show up online to how clients respond to our offers.Here's what we dive into:The true definition of sufficiency — and how it quietly drives your business results.Mirror neurons and emotional resonance: why clients can feel your inner state (even when you think you're hiding it).The wallpaper effect: how flashy marketing, credentials, or hustle can cover up internal holes—but never fill them.The real danger of “needing” your clients: how unconscious insufficiency leads to grasping energy that repels people.The Safety Formula™ connection: why sufficiency is one of the hardest but most essential components of creating safety—for you and for your clients.The good news: you don't have to be “healed” or “whole” to build a successful coaching business—you just need awareness of where your holes are and how to fill them outside your clients.This episode is an invitation—not to fix yourself, but to finally see yourself. To stop wallpapering over the holes. To understand that your business success won't fill them… but your awareness will.Because once you stop needing your clients to fill your holes, everything changes—your energy, your marketing, your sales, your impact.

Greater Things, Greater Sufficiency: Matt Metzger | November 2nd, 2025

Message from Mark Appleton on November 2, 2025

In this sermon, we see the wonderful sufficiency and glory of the Lord Jesus Christ. Paul calls on us to avoid false doctrine and false religion and to instead cling to the grace of God given to us through Christ!

November 2, 2025We centered on God's incomparable nature, redemption through Christ's blood, and the believer's complete sufficiency in Him. Through worship, teaching, and fellowship, the group reflected on how divine love frees believers from comparison, fear, and division—revealing one body united under one Head, Christ.ThemesWorship and Thanksgiving — The meeting opened with songs of gratitude, lifting praise to the Lord for His resurrection and daily mercy.The Reality of Redemption — Judy shared that redemption means being purchased out of sin's marketplace, never to return. Christ paid the full price with His blood, setting believers permanently free.Adopted and Chosen — Discussion of Ephesians 1 emphasized being chosen before the foundation of the world—holy and blameless in His sight. Adoption into sonship was described as God's pleasure and will, rooted in grace and not human striving.The Mystery Revealed — God's plan was portrayed as a mystery now made known in Christ: believers are united in Him, destined for the praise of His glory.Christ's Sufficiency — Edward shared that Christ Himself is each believer's personal and total sufficiency. His love removes comparison, blame, and self-effort, inviting rest and dependence.One Body, One Church — The group discussed the Corinthian letters, noting how Paul addressed division and “party spirits.” They emphasized that the Church is one body under one Head—Christ—and not divided by denomination or comparison.Love That Waits — God's love was described as patient and non-forcing, waiting to be gracious. Like the father of the prodigal son, He anticipates our return without condemnation.Spiritual Growth and Dependence — Paul's example showed that even correction flows from love, not anger. Growth happens through resting in Christ's finished work, not through striving or self-righteousness.The Mind of Christ — The session closed with reflection on resting in one's position in Christ rather than striving to “become” spiritual. True balance comes from depending on God's love, which removes competition and judgment within the Body.What We LearnedWe have been bought out of sin's power and belong fully to Christ.Our identity as holy and blameless exists in His sight, not by self-effort.Christ's sufficiency ends all comparison, pride, and performance.The Church is one body; division and party zeal oppose love's unity.God's love corrects gently, without violating free will or removing His gaze.True growth happens by resting, receiving, and reflecting His love toward others.Even when others misunderstand or reject us, love remains the answer.Dependence on Christ protects the believer from reacting in the flesh.Reflection QuestionWhere do we still rely on our own sufficiency, and how can we let Christ's love become the only measure of our identity and unity?

Jesus Followers Need to Acknowledge the Sufficiency of Jesus, Through Praise, Irrespective of Our Trials and Problems MESSAGE SUMMARY: Some of us and some of our acquaintances have gone through horrendous circumstances. Therefore, we ask, given these circumstances, how can we rejoice in the Lord? Paul tells us, in 2 Corinthians 12:10, that Jesus Followers need to acknowledge the sufficiency of Jesus, through praise and thanksgiving, irrespective of our trials and problems: “For the sake of Christ, then, I am content with weaknesses, insults, hardships, persecutions, and calamities. For when I am weak, then I am strong.". To fulfill God's exhortation “to rejoice always”, you can rejoice “always” if you keep your eyes on Jesus. David tells us, in Psalm 30:4, to: “Sing praises to the LORD, O you his saints, and give thanks to his holy name. For his anger is but for a moment, and his favor is for a lifetime. Weeping may tarry for the night, but joy comes with the morning.”. Paul instructs us for continuous thanksgiving in 1 Thessalonians 5:16-19: “Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you. Do not quench the Spirit.".   TODAY'S PRAYER: Father, I confess that when difficulties and trials come into my life, large or small, I mostly grumble and complain. I realize the trials James talks about are not necessarily “walls,” but they are difficult to bear, nonetheless. Fill me with such a vision of a transformed life, O God, that I might actually consider it “pure joy” when you bring trials my way. I believe, Lord. Help my unbelief. In Jesus' name, amen. Scazzero, Peter. Emotionally Healthy Spirituality Day by Day (p. 94). Zondervan. Kindle Edition. TODAY'S AFFIRMATION: Today, because I am filled with the Holy Spirit, I will not be controlled by my Procrastination. Rather, I will walk in the Spirit's fruit of Self-Control. “The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.” (Galatians 5:22f).

Are spiritual gifts really a thing of the past? We're continuing our review and response to cessationist arguments that the spiritual gifts have ceased. We're tackling Pastor Tom Pennington's claims from G3 Ministries, exposing flaws in the logic of his arguments and championing the ongoing reality of spiritual gifts by examining Scripture. In this episode we'll address his arguments about the spiritual gifts in church history, the sufficiency of Scripture, and New Testament rules for spiritual gifts.If you missed part 1 of our review, you can watch that episode here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OCCSiTMkHAY0:00 – Introduction1:38 – Recent Testimonies of Prophecy and Healing5:25 – Episode Overview: Pennington's Arguments 5-77:15 – Argument 5: Testimony of Church History10:59 – Refuting Hebrews 2 and NT Mentions25:15 – Early Church Fathers on Continuing Gifts37:09 – Argument 6: Sufficiency of Scripture44:38 – Responding to Heresies and Sufficiency45:14 – Argument 7: NT Rules for Miraculous Gifts51:14 – Closing Thoughts Subscribe to The Remnant Radio newsletter and receive our FREE introduction to spiritual gifts eBook.

When severe drought strikes a part of our country, the President has to declare a state of emergency and send aid to help the people survive. When the Israelites wandered the barren desert wilderness for 40 years, they had to learn to rely on God's power and provision for their survival. The Lord went to great lengths to teach His people that He is sufficient to meet all of their needs and believers today must learn this lesson as well.
