Podcasts about Surrender

As a second lieutenant in the Japanese Army, Hiroo Onoda took his job seriously. He'd been ordered to lead guerilla warfare missions on Lubang Island in the Philippines. He was told to never surrender. And when he received word that World War II had ended, Hiroo was certain that the message was a trick. So, he kept fighting. He kept fighting until 1974 – nearly 29 years after the war ended. Remember, kids, history hoes always cite their sources!

Pastor Jon Tyson reminds us that surrender is the true test of trust. Like Saul, we often rationalize partial obedience or try to control outcomes, but God asks for the final 2%. Control robs us of love, freedom, and intimacy with Him, while surrender roots us in trust just as Jesus trusted His Father with His life and future. God doesn't punish us by asking for surrender; He sees everything and knows what's best. True freedom isn't found in control, but in yielding fully to Him.

To be reborn, we must first let go. Shedding is not loss, but sacred preparation — every death a doorway, every release a renewal. In this episode, Claire reflects on the Magdalene way of surrender: Mary Magdalene's path through exile, loss, and despair into the Radiance of Resurrection. September, a threshold month, invites us to let old skins fall, cleanse with compassion, and prepare the soul for renewal. Through teaching, a guided breath practice, and journaling prompts, you'll be reminded that wholeness is found in surrender — and that letting go is the holy art that makes way for the soul's light to descend.

In this inspiring episode of The Neil Haley Show, Neil sits down with Jim DiBattista, the winner of The Biggest Loser on USA Network. Jim opens up about his journey from nearly 400 pounds and battling high blood pressure and sleep apnea to completely transforming his life and winning the competition.He also shares how COVID-19 reshaped fitness forever, why online communities and home workouts are here to stay, and how he continues to inspire others to start their own transformations.What you'll hear in this episode:The Rock Bottom Moment:When his wife half-jokingly texted him the application link for The Biggest Loser, Jim filled it out—and an hour later, a casting producer called.Biggest Loser Fan to Champion:Jim grew up watching the original show with his wife. Though he wasn't a “superfan,” he loved the educational aspect and the opportunity to reboot people's lives.His Game Plan:As a football coach, Jim broke down his process into small, actionable plays. The key word? Surrender. He let go of old habits, listened to the trainers, and rebuilt himself for long-term success.The New Show Format:Contestants spent more time at home during the competition, learning how to integrate healthy habits with family and friends earlier. Jim believes this format is the most powerful version of The Biggest Loser yet.Training in the Age of COVID-19:With gyms closed, Jim pivoted to CrossFit classes on Zoom and outdoor runs. He predicts the fitness industry will permanently shift toward home and online training—creating more opportunities for people who've always been intimidated by gyms.Advice for Others:Surround yourself with like-minded people who support, not sabotage, your goals. Online communities and apps (like trainer Erica Lugo's) can make home workouts just as tough—and more accessible—than ever.

God gives us opportunity to grow in humility through our humiliations, but there are three other ways to cultivate this receptivity to the Holy Spirit: Contrition, Gratitude, and SURRENDER!Homily for the 22nd Sunday in Ordinary Time, Year C

Today at our 2025 Teens Celebration Service, the message was brought by Inioluwa Oke, titled “We S.O.A.R – Surrender, Obey, Aspire, Rise.” With teens leading the service, the word came alive in a fresh and relatable way. Inioluwa reminded us that surrender is the starting point of true discipleship, where we lay down our own desires to embrace God's will. But surrender without obedience is incomplete. Delayed obedience, she noted, is still disobedience — a subtle form of resistance. Using the example of Abraham's readiness to sacrifice Isaac, we were reminded that surrender must always bear the fruit of immediate and trusting obedience. The message also called us to aspire towards God's higher purpose and to rise in faith and strength like eagles, even in the face of challenges. Christianity is not a casual label but a daily conscious commitment to live as living sacrifices that bring delight to God. Teens and adults alike were encouraged to live out Romans 12:1, offering their lives fully to God, trusting His good plans, and becoming living testimonies that inspire faith in others. As we Surrender, Obey, Aspire, and Rise, we are empowered to soar in God's purpose.

Twenty-six foreign heads of state and government will attend China's Victory Day commemorations, which will include a military parade, on Wednesday as Beijing hopes to use the event to reaffirm its commitment to defending the victorious outcomes of World War II and contributing to world peace and development.Russian President Vladimir Putin and top leader of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea Kim Jong-un will be among the world leaders attending the commemorations, Assistant Foreign Minister Hong Lei said at a news conference in Beijing on Thursday.It will be Putin's first visit to China since he held talks with United States President Donald Trump on the Ukraine crisis in Alaska earlier this month. Putin will also attend the Shanghai Cooperation Organization Summit in Tianjin, to be held from Sunday to Monday.His China visit also comes following President Xi Jinping's state visit to Russia in May and Xi's attendance at the celebration of the 80th anniversary of the victory in the Soviet Union's Great Patriotic War.Hong said that during that visit, Xi and Putin together sent the strong message that "the history of World War II must not be distorted, the victorious outcomes of World War II must not be denied, and the postwar international order must not be challenged".Regarding Kim's China visit, Hong said that safeguarding, consolidating and developing relations between China and the DPRK is the firm position of the Communist Party of China and the Chinese government.China stands ready to work with the DPRK to continue to enhance exchanges and cooperation and advance socialist development, coordinate closely on promoting the peace and stability of the region and safeguard international fairness and justice, he said.Sept 3 is celebrated in China as Victory Day, marking the signing of the Japanese Instrument of Surrender on Sept 2, 1945.The Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression (1931-45) was the first war to break out and the longest-running campaign in the World Anti-Fascist War. It resulted in over 35 million Chinese military and civilian casualties.With regard to a question about some forces in Japan seeking to remove restrictions on its military, including downplaying its history of aggression and even distorting historical truth to paint themselves as a victim of war, Hong said that such acts pose challenges to the post-World War II international order, to human conscience and to all who love peace."We urge Japan to face history squarely, reflect deeply upon its crimes of aggression, make a clean break with militarism and pursue the right path of peaceful development, good neighborliness and friendship," he said.Former Japanese prime minister Yukio Hatoyama, who said that Japan should reflect on its stance on history, will be among the former statesmen invited to attend the commemorations.A total of 50 international friends who have contributed to the war of resistance against Japanese aggression or their families from 14 countries, including Russia, the US, the United Kingdom, France and Canada, will also attend the commemorations.Wu Zeke, deputy director of the Office of the Leading Group for the Military Parade and a senior officer of the Joint Staff Department of the Central Military Commission, said at the news conference that the preparations for the V-Day military parade are basically complete.The parade will feature a wide range of weapons and equipment, much of which will be unveiled for the first time, Wu said, adding that the event will highlight the Chinese military's recent advances in modernization and enhanced combat readiness.When asked about what message China will send to the world about the military parade, Hong said, "We hold the military parade to show our firm determination to pursue the path of peaceful development, our strong will to defend national sovereignty and territorial integrity, and our great capability to safeguard world peace and tranquility."

This morning, we celebrated the powerful ways God is moving in our world, especially among the younger generation. Stories from college campuses like Ohio State University, where thousands of students have come to faith and been baptized, remind us that God is not done working. Even in a digital age, Gen Z is hungry for truth, driving a surge in Bible sales and seeking authentic encounters with Jesus. We heard a moving testimony from Mackenzie, who found freedom and new life in Christ, and we rejoiced in the many baptisms happening right here at EVC across all ages. These stories are not just distant miracles—they are invitations for each of us to experience God's transforming power in our own lives.We reflected on what it truly means to be the church. The church is not a building or an event, but the people—God's family, His body, His temple, and His bride. Looking back to the first-century church in Acts, we saw that the same Holy Spirit who empowered ordinary people like Peter is available to us today. The early church was marked by boldness, deep commitment, and a willingness to go “all in” for Jesus, even when it cost them dearly. Their devotion was not a one-time act but a continuous, daily surrender to God's purposes.God moves where He is wanted and welcomed. Transformation often begins in desperation and hunger for more of Him. The mission Jesus gave us is clear: as we go about our lives, we are to make disciples, baptize, and teach others to obey all He commanded. This is not a task for a select few, but a calling for every believer. Living on mission is not about striving in our own strength, but about being empowered by the Holy Spirit, who lives within us. We don't need more strategies; we need more surrender.The early church devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching, fellowship, breaking bread, prayer, generosity, and sharing the gospel. These are the basics, but they are also the essentials for a movement of God. We are called to be disciples—apprentices of Jesus—who not only learn from Him but also help others follow Him. This means being intentional about gathering for teaching (“row time”), spending personal time with God (“chair time”), and connecting in smaller groups for growth and accountability (“circle time”). The invitation is to go all in, to live sent, and to trust that God will use us to bring transformation wherever we are.Youtube Chapters[00:00] - Welcome[01:10] - Football, Culture, and Spiritual Movements[03:45] - Revival at Ohio State and Gen Z's Hunger[09:11] - Testimonies of Life Change[11:44] - God's Work in Our Congregation[14:08] - Mackenzie's Story of Salvation[19:19] - The Church: Not a Building, But a People[22:54] - The Cost and Boldness of Following Jesus[25:19] - God Shows Up Where He's Wanted[26:49] - Living on Mission in Everyday Life[29:45] - The Great Commission: Our Mission[32:08] - Making Disciples as You Go[33:19] - Living Sent: Church Beyond the Rows[35:49] - What Is a Disciple?[38:26] - Be a Disciple, Develop Disciples[41:14] - Supporting Mission and Multiplication[45:03] - The Power Holy Spirit, Not Strategy[47:33] - Surrender and the Spirit's Power[48:59] - Chair Time: Connecting with God Daily[53:03] - Devotion: The Early Church's Playbook[57:14] - Row, Chair, and Circle: Pathways to Growth[59:51] - Invitation to Faith and Prayer[60:46] - Closing Prayer and Sending

After Dark with Hosts Rob & Andrew – Four years after the chaotic Afghanistan withdrawal, America still faces the consequences of failed leadership. Allies are abandoned, trust is broken, and the Taliban reasserts brutal control with U.S. weapons. Families of fallen heroes seek accountability, while global adversaries see weakness. The path forward demands strength, clarity, and renewed commitment to our troops and allies...

Message by Larry Osborne on August 30, 2025. What do a leper, a soldier, a mother-in-law, and a bunch of crazy people have in common? More than you might think. This week, we'll find out what Matthew's account of Jesus' encounter with them can teach us about our assignment to represent him well.

Welcome to The Daily, where we study the Bible verse by verse, chapter by chapter, every day. Support our mission to teach every verse of the Bible on video over the next 23 years. Read more about it here: PROJECT23 Our text today is Judges 1:34-36: The Amorites pressed the people of Dan back into the hill country, for they did not allow them to come down to the plain. The Amorites persisted in dwelling in Mount Heres, in Aijalon, and in Shaalbim, but the hand of the house of Joseph rested heavily on them, and they became subject to forced labor. And the border of the Amorites ran from the ascent of Akrabbim, from Sela and upward. — Judges 1:34-36 We've watched a slow unraveling through this chapter. One tribe compromises, then another, until Israel's momentum is gone—and by verse 34, the tide has turned. The Amorites are now pressing back. The people of Dan aren't advancing, they're retreating. They've been pushed into the hills, confined, controlled. The very enemies they were told to conquer are now conquering them. This is what happens when we stop obeying. We lose ground. Spiritually. Emotionally. Culturally. The authority we once carried gets handed over to the very things we were called to defeat. And while Joseph's house exerts some control—forcing the Amorites into labor—it's too little, too late. The enemy still has territory. The borders are redrawn. And God is silent. It's sobering. But it's not hopeless. God lets us feel the weight of disobedience. Not to punish us, but to draw us back. The pain of retreat is often the catalyst for repentance. Sometimes, God allows the enemy to press in and remind us what it feels like to live without him leading. He doesn't abandon us. He stops enabling our passivity. So, my friend, where have you given ground? Where have you stopped fighting, and the enemy's started pressing? It's not too late. But the time is now. Reclaim what you've surrendered. Step back into obedience. Let God lead again. ASK THIS: Where have I lost spiritual ground by compromising? What enemy have I allowed to reclaim territory in my life? How have I mistaken God's silence for absence? What step of obedience can help me reclaim that ground today? DO THIS: Name one area where you've let sin take the lead—and today, take one bold action to take it back. PRAY THIS: Father, I've given ground I was meant to guard. Give me the strength to stand again and reclaim what's Yours. Amen PLAY THIS: "The Stand."

Worship Leader Taylor Cummings urges us to call on the powerful name of Jesus, reminding us from Philippians 2:8-11 and Proverbs 18:10 that His name is our strength and safety. When we don't know what to do, we turn to Him in faith under His kingship.

Michele Sagarino, President of Cross Catholic Outreach, had a clear plan for her life. She was determined to make it happen. Yet, when it was time for Michele to have children, she wasn't getting pregnant. God began opening Michele's heart to His will for her life. Michele and her husband were blessed to start a family through the gift of adoption. Soon after, Michele went on a mission trip with Cross Catholic Outreach. Michele knew where God wanted her—to work in developing countries. She now works with the best people, transforming—by the grace of God—the worst circumstances. Listen to this “mini retreat in a podcast” and be inspired to put God in the center of your life. Experience the Lord's abundant will for you!

Welcome to The Daily, where we study the Bible verse by verse, chapter by chapter, every day. Support our mission to teach every verse of the Bible on video over the next 23 years. Read more about it here: PROJECT23 Our text today is Judges 1:22-26: "The house of Joseph also went up against Bethel, and the Lord was with them. And the house of Joseph scouted out Bethel. (Now the name of the city was formerly Luz.) And the spies saw a man coming out of the city, and they said to him, 'Please show us the way into the city, and we will deal kindly with you.' And he showed them the way into the city. And they struck the city with the edge of the sword, but they let the man and all his family go. And the man went to the land of the Hittites and built a city and called its name Luz. That is its name to this day." — Judges 1:22-26 The tribe of Joseph had momentum. God was with them. They were positioned for another victory, and Bethel was next. They scouted the city, found a local man, and made a deal: "Show us the way in, and we'll spare you." It worked. They took the city, but they also let compromise slip in through the side door. The man they spared? He went off and built another city. A city that carried the same old name—Luz—the one God intended to obliterate. Here's the tension: partial obedience appears to be success… for a while. They captured Bethel. But they preserved a piece of what God intended to destroy. They won the battle. But they left the roots of resistance intact. And don't we do the same? We address the major sins, but overlook the smaller ones. We say yes to God, mostly. But we keep one foot in comfort or pride or bitterness. That's not surrender. That's strategy. And your strategy isn't obedience. Sometimes it's a secret shortcut to get what you want, rather than what God wants. Let your strategy go; surrender your selfish strategies to the Lord. Joseph's tribe had the upper hand, and instead of walking in full trust, they chose a shortcut. And shortcuts in faith always leave doors open to the enemy. So here's the question(s): What deal have you made with sin? What obedience have you postponed because partial surrender felt "close enough"? Today is your chance to go all in. Don't let a Luz live on just because it made your life easier for a moment. ASK THIS: Where have I obeyed God only halfway? What deals have I made that compromise long-term faithfulness? How has a shortcut in my past led to struggle today? What does full obedience require of me now? DO THIS: Name one area where you've been cutting corners spiritually—and commit today to close the gap with full obedience. PRAY THIS: Lord, I don't want to win battles while losing trust. Show me where I've made deals with sin, and give me courage to obey You completely. Amen PLAY THIS: "Lord I Need You."

Most of us are so locked in to what we know, that is hard for us to understand we know nothing. Let's talk about it!

The manhunt is continuing for Desi Freeman, who allegedly shot and killed two officers and wounded another near the town of Porepunkah in the state's north-east.

Pastor Natalie reminds us that Jesus, our great High Priest, fully understands our weaknesses, was tempted yet without sin, and invites us to approach God's throne with confidence to receive mercy and grace. She points to Jesus' honest, surrendered prayers as our model in seasons of pain.

Holy Spirit Studios Presents: Trailer Parked Theology We're taking theology and parking it right in our own backyard. This 4-part series with Josh & Kristi Fredieu dives into the stories of grace meeting the mess. In this episode, we share how we each found relationship with God—not in the picture-perfect moments, but in the middle of our brokenness. Josh opens up about his journey to sobriety, and together we talk about surrender and contentment—the doorway to true freedom. Surrender isn't a one-time thing. It's a daily choice. One moment at a time.Verse of the Week: Phil 4: 10-13 I rejoice in the Lord greatly that now at length you have revived your concern for me; you were indeed concerned for me, but you had no opportunity. Not that I complain of want; for I have learned, in whatever state I am, to be content. I know how to be abased, and I know how to abound; in any and all circumstances I have learned the secret of facing plenty and hunger, abundance and want. I can do all things in him who strengthens me.

What happens when everything you thought defined you—your marriage, your career, your home—vanishes in a single day? For Whitney Joy, a sixth-generation farm girl turned adrenaline junkie, that collapse wasn't the end. It was the initiation. In this raw and radiant conversation, Whitney shares how losing it all became the portal to discovering her intuition, reclaiming her truth, and writing her debut book, The Cure for a Broken Heart. Kimberly Spencer, your unapologetically empowering host of the Communication Queens Podcast, dives deep with Whitney into the messy middle of transformation—where grief collides with manifestation, where surrender must dance with aligned action, and where vulnerability meets fierce boundaries. This isn't just a conversation about writing a book. It's about the universal story arc we're all living: facing resistance, embracing evolution, and daring to trust the unknown. Whitney's journey mirrors skydiving—terrifying before the jump, but euphoric once you surrender to the freefall. If you've ever wrestled with imposter syndrome, resisted your own visibility, or wondered whether your story matters, this episode will meet you right where you are. And spoiler: your story not only matters—it's medicine.

One of the sessions from the 2025 VCBC Ladies Retreat, presented by Val Kleppen.

This Sunday's passage recounts the moment when Jesus foretells Peter's denial. It reminds us that on our own, we will never fully “have it together.” Instead, we must cling to the cross of Christ—the only hope that upholds us and truly sets us free. Jesus extends an open invitation: “Come to me, all who are weary and heavy laden, and I will give you rest.” Surrender your life to Christ. In Christ you are completely known, yet completely loved. 

As you listen, consider what God tells us continually throughout the scriptures –He says, “Recognize that I am God, and I care about you. Be quiet and let Me be Your salvation. Let me fix the broken parts of your life. Understand that I, God, can do anything and all that I do, is breathtaking! Surrender your anxiety and trust Me to take care of you.” Daylight Meditations is a daily podcast from CFO North America.

Would you like to know more about the ways we are all interconnected? How can we remain connected to our loved ones on the Other Side? Lisa continues the conversation today with renowned spiritual teacher, medium, and best-selling author Suzanne Giesemann. A former U.S. Navy Commander and aide to the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, today she shares “21st Century Spirituality®”, merging the latest scientific understanding about Consciousness with ancient spiritual wisdom. Suzanne discusses her latest book, “Making the Afterlife Connection: The Journey from Doubt to Knowing that Death is Not the End.” Suzanne talks about various practices to greater connect including “SIP with the Divine.” This is just a 3-minute practice where you sit in silence and see if an insight happens. Any answer you seek is accessible. It's called “SIP” as it stands for “Sit In Peace.” You are training yourself to notice your thoughts and feelings. This becomes a habit to really be present. In this way, you are also creating more space, which allows for better connection to your Higher Self, loved ones, and the Divine. When we are in a state of meditation and quietness, we can also ask our loved ones for a sign or for a message. This requires a level of discernment, but it's possible for them to share. You can ask for advice, a healing, or an answer. Suzanne explains how there's a reason that certain things may be veiled to us. She also talks about using your body to help you make decisions. Any tension in your heart or your gut means it may not be the best direction. The knowing is already in you. The answers are within us. Your soul already has a plan. Suzanne has written 15 books including “The Awakened Way - Making the Shift to a Divinely Guided Life.” Her latest documentary is “Wolf's Message,” based on the true story of a man named Wolf who was also struck and killed by lightening. He contacted Suzanne through the spirit world. This is Part 2 of the interview.  Info: SuzanneGiesemann.com and TheAwakenedWay.org.

My guest is Dr. David DeSteno, PhD, a professor of psychology at Northeastern University. We discuss science, God and religion, including what science can and can't reveal about the existence of God and where religious faith and science do and do not align. We also discuss why questions about life's origins, miracles and the afterlife have persisted across time. Dr. DeSteno explains how religious rituals cause meaningful improvements in mental and physical health and how prayer and gratitude can markedly reduce stress, increase honesty and compassion and buffer against loneliness and despair. Finally, we explore what distinguishes religions and mission-based communities from cults, and we discuss the role that communities such as 12-step and Burning Man play in modern life.

(Episode #288) What if the part of you resisting change isn't holding you back, but asking to be loved more deeply?   In this client session, I sit with someone who has been moving through rapid spiritual growth while also facing the resistance that often arises when we're asked to dream bigger. Together, we explore the tender balance between the higher self and the human self, and what it means to embrace both without rushing the process. This conversation is a reminder that resistance isn't a setback, but a sign of transformation already unfolding.   If you've ever felt pressure to move faster on your path, or questioned whether you're “doing enough,” this episode offers gentle reminders about patience, divine timing, and the importance of honoring every part of who you are along the way.
