Podcasts about surrendered

The Pivotal PATH Podcast - Join me as I discuss my pivotal turning point that catapulted me on the pathway to entrepreneurialism and my global crowning as the ‘Queen of Manifestation'. The best advice that I ever received on the beginning of my entrepreneurial path, was from my mentor, who was at least 40 years older than me, as he explained that the road to complete entrepreneurial success is the marriage of the inner work and the external work. Amazingly, I learned that the 80/20 rule is:- work on the inside, that's the 80%, then add the external 20%. I needed to change my inner reality! That's how I started on the pathway to working with purpose. Conditioning and rewiring myself from the inside out. In my latest podcast:                    Regan Hillyer - Manifestation Needs Action & Alignment We discuss the journey of establishing, building and scaling businesses in alignment with purpose. The skill of re-writing the unconscious mind to transform your inner reality. And, embracing the energy of energetics and resonance of frequency.  Join me as I dive deep into the concepts of surrendered manifestation, energetic alignment, and the importance of being in flow rather than constantly grinding and burning out. We talk about the importance of integrity, authenticity and purpose, and listening to your ‘gut' in your working life. Surrendered manifestation, allowing the universe to come through to you, rather than controlled, manufactured manifestation where you are manipulating the outcomes. Getting out of the way of yourself. I also outline my different business models and ventures, that all resonate with my authenticity and my purpose. I discuss these businesses, their rationale and their why. “Manifestation is the fusion of the art, the science and the magic of effectively translating something that is unseen, or ethereal - an idea, a vision, a dream, a prayer and translating that through you, into the physical reality, so that it is actually there in your life” - Regan Hillyer Listen to my latest podcast for more of these gems!  Enjoy! I love you!  And remember, You absolutely can have it all! Regan x

From postpartum recovery and sleepless nights to six weeks without intimacy, many of us step into marriage unprepared for the realities of motherhood. Add to that the emotional rollercoaster of discerning when to welcome another child only to face unexpected pregnancies--it's clear this journey isn't always tidy. In this episode, I sit down with Chrissy Horton, content creator and mother of six, for an honest, no-holds-barred conversation about life without contraception, the joy and chaos of raising a large family, and the adventure that unfolds when you surrender your fertility to God. Spoiler alert: the sex life? It gets better. We also unpack the cultural biases against big families: where they come from, why they persist, and why they're flat-out wrong. It's a road marked with sacrifice, but also with beauty, laughter, and unforgettable moments.Chrissy's channel: https://www.youtube.com/@chrissyhortonInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/hortonlane_/?hl=enNEW: Join our exclusive Rose Report community! https://lilaroseshow.supercast.com - We'll have BTS footage, ad-free episodes, monthly AMA, and early access to our upcoming guests.A big thanks to our partner, EWTN, the world's leading Catholic network!

This summer wasn't what I pictured, but it was everything God needed it to be. I found His love in the quiet, His strength in my weakness, and His blessings in unexpected places. I've learned that the waiting room is not wasted space—He's developing me, not delaying me. Your plans will never beat His. Trust the journey, surrender the timeline, and cherish every moment He's gifted you.✨ Stay Connected with Me! ✨

Surrender is a voluntary act of the will to submit every part of our life to God, trusting Him as Father, Savior, Comforter, and King. Philippians 3:3-11 For more resources on this teaching please visit https://brcc.church/teachings/surrendered/

The $500 million dream behind Portland's most luxurious tower has hit a major roadblock. The 35-story Block 216, home to the Ritz-Carlton Portland, has been surrendered to lender Ready Capital amid slow condo sales, weak office leasing, and financial strain.

In this powerful continuation of our study in Hebrews 10:22, Donald E. Coleman concludes the teaching on the four key characteristics of a true believer, building on the previous episode. With biblical depth and pastoral clarity, Donald explores what it means to draw near to God with a sincere heart, full assurance of faith, and a cleansed conscience. He examines how spiritual transformation happens not through striving, but through the ongoing work of Christ's blood and partnership with the Holy Spirit.Donald addresses the head and heart connection, warning against extremes of emotion or intellect, and invites believers into the fullness of faith modeled by Christ. From the crucified life to the enduring promise of Revelation 3:20, this episode unpacks how true believers live in God's presence, endure trials with patience, and walk in freedom from guilt and shame.You'll also gain insight into the doctrine of sin and salvation, the cleansing power of Jesus' blood, and why our identity as sons and daughters of God matters for spiritual access and growth.

This Sunday, in his message “Surrendered to the Father, Empowered by the Spirit,” Pastor Josh unpacks how Jesus came to be both our Savior and our example. He lived a life fully surrendered to the Father and empowered by the Holy Spirit, showing us what it means to depend on God in every moment. As those who love and follow Him, we are called to live lives empowered by the Holy Spirit, marked by surrender, obedience, and His transforming power. Recorded at Hope Church in Springfield, MO.

1 Thessalonians 3 shows that a life truly surrendered to Christ is marked by sacrificial care and genuine prayer for community, even in hardship. Our deepest impact comes not from personal performance but from investing in others, building unity, and trusting God to work through us—often in ways that reach far beyond what we see.

Our text today is Mark 12:38-40: And in his teaching he said, “Beware of the scribes, who like to walk around in long robes and like greetings in the marketplaces and have the best seats in the synagogues and the places of honor at feasts, who devour widows' houses and for a pretense make long prayers. They will receive the greater condemnation.” — Mark 12:38-40 Jesus has been teaching in the temple all day, and now he turns from answering questions to issuing a warning. “Beware of the scribes.” He calls them out on their own turf. And notice the exhortation. He does not say to “disagree with them” or “debate them.” He says "beware" as in, be on high alert. Why? Because their spiritual influence looked holy on the outside. They wore the robes. Spoke the language. Took the places of honor. Prayed eloquent prayers. But it was all for show. Underneath the surface, Jesus exposes something far more dangerous: They devoured widows' houses. They used their spiritual authority to manipulate, exploit, and take. Their power was not for people's good, but for their own gain. And Jesus doesn't just call it out—he warns of a greater condemnation. Spiritual leadership without spiritual integrity is deadly. And Jesus is clear. He's not impressed with religious appearances. He sees the robes. The seats. The greetings. The prayers. But more importantly, he sees the motives. Are you living for God's approval or people's applause? This warning isn't just for teachers and pastors, like myself, which is humbling to consider. It's for anyone tempted to put on a spiritual performance. It's for the man who prays in public but won't lead at home. The woman who knows Scripture but won't show grace. The leader who loves attention but won't serve in obscurity. God is not looking for polished people. He's looking for surrendered hearts. So beware of putting on a religious show. It may impress people, but it never fools God. #BewareTheShow, #Mark12, #SpiritualIntegrity ASK THIS: Why does Jesus say “beware” instead of just “disagree”? What does “devouring widows' houses” tell you about the scribes? Where are you tempted to perform spiritually? How can you pursue deeper integrity in your walk with Christ? DO THIS: Ask someone who knows you well: “Do you ever see a gap between what I say spiritually and how I actually live?” PRAY THIS: Jesus, protect me from the temptation to perform spiritually. I don't want appearance—I want authenticity. Shape my heart, not just my image. Amen. PLAY THIS: “Give Me Jesus”

In this episode, Dr. Juli Slattery joins me as we dive into the complexities of Christian sexuality, exploring themes of trust, identity, and the integration of faith with sexual intimacy. We discuss the challenges Christians face in surrendering their sexuality to God, the importance of understanding behavior versus identity, and the biblical perspectives on sexuality. Juli emphasizes the journey of discovering a deeper intimacy in relationships and the role of God in sexual experiences, ultimately encouraging listeners to wrestle with their faith and sexuality in a meaningful way.

In this deeply heartfelt conversation, Lauren and Sophie peel back the layers of what it really means to live as a woman fully surrendered to God's authority in your body, your marriage, your motherhood, and your work. Together, they reflect on how their own lives and businesses have evolved from personal development spaces into true ministry, rooted in the Word and led by the Spirit.   They explore:  

Romans 3:23-26 Romans 5:9 1 Corinthians 6:19-20 Ephesians 2:10

Facing life's giants requires the kind of courage David displayed against Goliath. True bravery comes from embracing responsibility, drawing on past experiences, and trusting in God's faithfulness. We must be authentic rather than imitating others, prepare thoughtfully for our battles, and surrender our motives to God's purposes. When we align with God's will, we can be decisive in confronting challenges and confident in victory through the Holy Spirit's power. By shifting our focus from the giant to God, preparing properly, and surrendering to His will, we can overcome any obstacle.

BURNT: The Sacred Center of Christ Leviticus 1 “All the offerings taken together give us a full view of Christ—as many mirrors arranged to reflect in various ways the figure of that true and perfect sacrifice.” —C.H.M. (C.H. Mackintosh)   A Story of Pure Devotion My mind recalls a young, dark-haired Canadian girl, whose beauty lay not so much in her features as in the quiet creativity of her words. She was a writer of poetry and prose, able to describe a moment with the grace of a Victorian novelist. My eyes would often drift to the tattered journal she carried—the weight of it owed not to its binding, but to the sheer volume of ink pressed upon its pages. She never parted with it. Its contents, I am certain, were treasures untold. One random Saturday turned quietly unforgettable when I asked why she had left her cherished treasury behind. “I burnt it,” she said. I gasped at the waste. “Why?” She looked directly into my eyes. “Some things,” she whispered, “are for Him alone.” The hours, thoughts, pains, sorrows, joys, and life lessons she penned rose to His eyes alone. Her ink became incense. Her intent was to give her most cherished work to Him—and this, she did.   What Is Burnt Is Gone When something is truly burnt, it passes beyond possession. It can no longer be handled, owned, or used. It is consumed. Surrendered to the flame, it becomes smoke ascending, curling upward— beyond the reach of man, beyond sight of man, beyond the control of man. It cannot be claimed by anyone but the heavens to which it ascends. This fully and finally.   The Burnt Offering Such is the burnt offering of old. It is an offering for God alone. Unlike the other sacrifices, it is laid upon the stones for one purpose only: to rise to God. It is the first of the offerings described in Leviticus. When the animal is burnt, it passes beyond possession. It can no longer be handled, owned, or used. It is consumed. Surrendered to the altar, it has become smoke—ascending, curling upward— beyond the reach of man, beyond the sight of man, beyond the control of man. It cannot be claimed by anyone but the God to whom it ascends—fully and finally.   Christ, the Sacred Burnt Offering This is a divine type and shadow, revealing to us the sacred center of Christ's heart— the sacred center of His manifold sacrifice. When Christ was laid on the altar of the cross, He could no longer be handled, owned, or used. He was, in a real sense, consumed by death. Surrendered to God, He became a sweet-smelling savor, curling upward— beyond the reach of man, beyond the sight of man, beyond the control of man. He could be claimed by none but His Father, to whom He ascended fully and finally. Christ, the final burnt offering—an obedience to God, just for God. Ephesians 5:2 — “…a sacrifice to God.”   Commentary from the Saints C.H. Mackintosh writes: “It was exclusively for God. God alone was the object of Christ in the burnt offering aspect of His death.” “Here is the deep-toned devotion of the heart of the Son presented to, and appreciated by, the heart of the Father.” In the burnt offering, Christ's charms shine bright through His unshakable devotion to His Father. Spurgeon notes: “The burnt offering was all for God. So was Christ. His death was above all things God-ward.” The Holy Spirit reveals to us in this shadow that Christ loved the Father before the church. What excellency! What beauty and perfection! Surely His love to the Father is sufficient to rouse love in our hearts. Mackintosh continues: “The true believer finds in the cross that which captivates every affection of his heart… There are heights and depths in the doctrine of the cross which man never could reach.”   Christ's Willing Offering The offering of Himself to His Father was voluntary. He was not forced or coerced. He revealed: “No one takes My life from Me. I lay it down of My own initiative.” (John 10:18) Matthew Henry writes: “Voluntary. What is done in religion, so as to please God, must be done by no other constraint than that of love.” His offering was not laborious duty but loving devotion.   The World Sees Waste—Heaven Sees Worship The natural mind calls this—not cooked but burnt—a waste. But Christ's loving devotion to His Father transforms what the natural man sees as waste into worship. John 14:31 — “So that the world will know that I love the Father.” The sacred center of His sacrifice was this public display of affectionate devotion to His Father. He didn't merely accept God's will—it was His intention, His motive, His reason. (See Hebrews 10:5–10; John 6:38–39; 10:17–18; Luke 22:42) John Owen describes it: “The free act of love to the Father.” Spurgeon echoes: “He came not with sigh but a song to do His Father's will.” Owen again: “The greatest demonstration of the love of Christ unto the Father is His giving Himself up to the death of the cross, to manifest what love and accomplish His will.”   The Burnt Sacrifice Was Innocent The burnt sacrifice, as the chapter foreshadows, had to be an innocent other. Christ was not only innocent—oh, much more—He was without defect. He fit the foreshadow perfectly. He alone is clean inside and out. Mackintosh: “No one had ever perfectly, invariably, from first to last, without hesitation, without divergence, done the will of God.” “It was no surface work with Him… The more the depths of His being were explored, the more clearly was it manifest that pure devotion to the will of the Father…”   Every Part of Him Aflame I mean to exalt Christ's burning love for God and His voluntary offering of Himself to God alone as the sacred center of our revelation of what Christ is actually like. Every part of Him aflame to God. Oh, how unlike us is Christ. By this, we know what love for God looks like: the surrender of our whole selves. Romans 12:1 — “I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship.” Though our love is but the flicker of a faint flame, His sacred center quickens our hearts. For He exemplifies a love that stands apart from all others—ascending to God in fragrant flame. No portion eaten. No fragment withheld. No part left over. Every sinew of His sacred humanity—thoughts, deeds, motives, breath, blood— all offered up to God.   A Few Notes from Leviticus 1 The offering was made morning and evening. He is this both day and night. In the noonday sun and in the blackest night. No shade of life would alter His surrender. The offering could be an ox or a bird. He is this in the great and the small. No action was too small to be wholly surrendered to God. The bird was plucked and unsevered. Christ had His beard plucked in mockery—and yet His divinity was never severed from His humanity. He died as the God-Man. The sinner laid his hand upon the sacrifice, symbolizing imparted guilt and acknowledgment of deserved death. A foreshadow of the One upon whom the Lord laid the iniquity of us all (Isaiah 53). The Subtle Trap of Looking to Ourselves Henry Martyn, a missionary to India, once wrote that when he tried to find comfort by examining his life and searching for evidences of grace, he actually lost the brokenness of spirit he longed to keep. The more he looked to himself, the less he could rest simply at the foot of the cross. Many of us try to find peace by measuring our own faithfulness: Have I prayed enough? Have I served enough? Have I conquered this sin consistently? We think that if we can point to enough evidence of our devotion, we will feel secure. But here is the irony: the more we look to our own performance, the more we lose humility, dependence, and the sweetness of simple trust in Jesus. It is a subtle trap. Even good things—prayer, ministry, obedience—can become props we lean on to feel worthy, rather than gifts that flow from grace. Martyn only found peace when he stopped searching for comfort in himself and began to pray as a dying man—helpless and needy—resting on Christ alone. This is the lesson: Our comfort never comes from our own faithfulness, but from Christ's faithfulness for us. Brokenness of spirit and assurance of love thrive best when we lay aside self-scrutiny and fix our gaze on the cross.   Christ in the Burnt Offering As a burnt ox – He gave all His strength and labor to God. As a burnt sheep – He meekly followed God to death, patient and quiet in suffering. As a burnt goat – Though sinless, He was thought to be a sinner, sent in the likeness of sinful flesh. As a burnt dove – He was pure, single-eyed, plucked, unsevered, and holy.   The Preacher's Duty The priests were to arrange the wood and position the sacrifice. John Gill sees this as a type of the preacher's duty: “Evidence given of Him in the gospel, in which He is clearly set forth in His person, nature, and offices.” Trapp agrees: “The minister must rightly divide and dispose the Word of God, and evidently set forth Christ crucified.” Trapp also writes of the fire consuming the sacrifice: “Typifying the scorching wrath of God upon Christ—or the ardent love of Christ to God.”   The Sweet-Smelling Savor In all this, we see the “sweet-smelling savor unto God.” Christ as the burnt offering: the perfect Man, without defect, pure in and out, in action and thought, motive and deed, great and small—voluntarily offering Himself in love and devotion to His Father. To miss this is to reduce the gospel to a scheme for man's relief. If we fail to see this, we are but a step away from shaping the gospel into a man-centered escape plan, robbing God of His rightful glory in the work of His Son. Spurgeon wrote: “Christ did not die out of mere pity for man, but first of all out of love for the Father.” The salvation of man was the love song of the Son to the Father.   Three Effects on My Soul Adoration of such a lovely individual A desire to receive Him as my own A longing to surrender myself As Matthew Poole writes: “To serve the Lord with all singleness of heart, without self-ends, and to be ready to offer to God wherein we ourselves should have no benefit.” God has graciously met our need— and may He give us an enlarged capacity to enter into and enjoy His provision.

Psalm 14 describes a special kind of fool: Someone who knows the truth about God and still decides to live like He doesn't exist. This week, guest speaker Dr. Corey Schliep continues our Summer in the Psalms with a look at control and surrender. When we seek control over every aspect of life, we put ourselves on the throne and risk cycles of anxiety and disappointment. But when we honor God's sovereignty, we find the peace that comes with godly surrender.This week, our hosts dive deeper into the Psalms, specifically Psalm 14, they talk about the different times the word "fool" has shown up in the bible, and they go over the feeling of wanting to do your part while God is in control of the wheel. Oh and tune into the beginning to hear our hosts talk about the amazing week they just had at camp catapult.If you would like to watch the video podcast, find us on YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCMhDfGn0zfzi6XjcKkSVcFAFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/discovertbcInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/topekabiblechurchWebsite: https://www.discovertbc.com/

On May 19, 1945, eleven days after the surrender of Nazi Germany in Europe, a U-boat was escorted into Portsmouth Naval Yard, New Hampshire. News reporters covering the surrender of U-234 were ordered, contrary to all previous and later U-boat surrender procedures, to keep their distance from crew members and passengers of U-234, on threat of being shot by the attending Marine guards. Why the tight security? Buried in the nose of the specially-built mammoth boat, sealed in cylinders “lined with gold,” was 1,120 pounds of enriched uranium labeled “U235”the fissile material from which atom bombs are made. Critical Mass documents how these Nazi bomb components were then used by the Manhattan Project to complete both the uranium bomb dropped on Hiroshima and the plutonium bomb dropped on Nagasaki, to defeat the Japanese and win World War Two and global domination in the modern age.https://amzn.to/3TVIyhnBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-opperman-report--1198501/support.

The Surrendered Life by Alpha and Omega Christian Fellowship "Weekly Sermon"

What if prayer wasn't about getting the words right, but about being real? In this tender and honest conversation, Janet and Doug sit down with poet and author Tanner Olson, whose new children's book All the Things I Say to God is helping families make prayer a natural part of everyday life. They explore Tanner and his wife's journey through infertility and adoption, the power of surrender, and what it means to live a creative life anchored in faith, family, and honest conversations with God. You're in the Right Place If… You want to raise kids who feel safe enough to talk to God about anything. You're in a season of waiting, wondering where God is in the silence. You've ever wrestled with not being in control, but longed to feel secure anyway. Highlights from the Conversation: Prayer as Presence – How Tanner's book models that sitting quietly with God is just as valid as speaking out loud. Love in the Waiting – Their shared experience of waiting for children—and discovering that grief and joy often share the same space. Peace Over Performance – Why surrender isn't giving up, but choosing safety in God instead of control. Creative Callings – Tanner's story of becoming a poet, the faith of his parents, and the courage it takes to follow a different path. Key Takeaways: Children don't need perfect prayers. They need permission to speak to God like they speak to someone who loves them. Surrendered doesn't mean powerless. It means safe and secure in the hands of a faithful God—even when you don't have all the answers. Waiting can be formative. Love, art, and spiritual maturity often grow in the in-between spaces. We are receivers first. God is the initiator, and our job is to remain open—to receive, respond, and create from love.

Have you ever found yourself clinging tightly to control, only to feel even more out of control? I recently had the opportunity to interview a guest who asked a powerful question: “What if I can’t let go?” It’s a question that resonates with so many of us. We long to live fully and freely, but fear, insecurity, and the weight of comparison hold us back. We think holding on will help—but true strength is found in surrender. In this episode of The Love Offering podcast, I chat with Caitlin Mentzel about her book More Than Conquering: A Season of Surrender where we explore:

Pastor Ray Bentley on God's plan for our lives. God's goal for your life and mine is maturity. Too often our prayers are spent wanting to be sheltered from the very things that will bring that maturity and trustworthiness. God cannot build our character without our cooperation. If we resist him, he will chastened us into submission. If we choose to submit to him, he will accomplish his work, and that is our maturity.

In some important new reporting by Newsweek: "Major Companies Abandon Law Firms That Signed Deals with Trump". The article states "The Wall Street Journal reported on a legal luncheon at Manhattan's Cipriani restaurant in May, where Brooke Cucinella, a top lawyer at the hedge fund Citadel, told other lawyers present that they like working with lawyers who don't run from a fight." The law firms that bent a knee to Trump, capitulated to his lawlessness and, figuratively speaking, gave Trump their lunch money, are learning the hard way that giving in to a bully doesn't protect you, it encourages more bullying and it further endangers you.If you're interested in supporting our all-volunteer efforts, you can become a Team Justice patron at: / glennkirschner If you'd like to support Glenn and buy Team Justice and Justice Matters merchandise visit:https://shop.spreadshirt.com/glennkir...Check out Glenn's website at https://glennkirschner.com/Follow Glenn on:Threads: https://www.threads.net/glennkirschner2Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/glennkirschner2Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/glennkirsch...Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/glennkirschn...TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/glennkirschner2See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In this episode, Becky Johnson chats with SeaJay, Erika, and Deborah about the challenges and blessings of raising pastors’ kids, the importance of spiritual covering, humility, and submission to God's plan. True favor follows surrender. Through vulnerability and trust, they discuss how we often carry baggage into our relationship with God that needs to be shed for growth to occur. Becky's story reminds us that God, not man, holds the keys to our ministry and our purpose.

Chuck Todd, former moderator of Meet the Press and host of The Chuck ToddCast, joins Dan to assess how the news media has responded to Trump 2.0. His read? Not great. He and Dan lament cable news' tired playbook, discuss Craigslist's indirect role in electing Donald Trump, and question whether broadcast news may be in the early stages of a kleptocracy. Then, turning to the Democratic Party, Chuck and Dan debate which fights Democrats should focus on, what voters will want from the party in 2028, and whether the right is exploiting President Biden's decline to undermine the left's faith in journalism.
