Podcasts about Svea

Rick and Svea continue their challenging journey through First Corinthians, tackling Chapter 6 which addresses conflict within the church. They explore Paul's confronting question: "Why not rather be wronged?" and discuss how the Corinthian believers were taking each other to court instead of resolving disputes within the community.They examine three key perspectives: theological (understanding our eschatological identity in Christ), ecclesiological (recognizing we're one body and conflict hurts us all), and leadership (accepting that being misunderstood comes with the territory). They share personal vulnerabilities about their own "insecurity cards"—Rick's struggle with being misunderstood and Svea's feelings of inadequacy—and discuss how the cruciform lifestyle (self-sacrificing love modeled by Jesus on the cross) should shape how Christians handle conflict.The conversation emphasizes that while conflict is inevitable, we're called to seek security and satisfaction in Christ alone rather than demanding affirmation from others. They explore practical applications for church life, leadership, and personal relationships, highlighting how choosing to "rather be wronged" isn't about tolerating abuse but about prioritizing others' needs and protecting confidentiality—even when it means taking the hit yourself.Topics discussed in this episode:00:00 Introduction01:45 Nine Sacred Pathways & Spiritual Connection04:45 Conflict in the Corinthian Church06:35 Insecurity Cards Discussion09:10 Self-Awareness & Growth12:10 Jesus & Paul Were Misunderstood13:10 Taking an Eschatological Perspective15:25 Cruciform Way of Life18:15 Three Lenses: Theological Perspective21:25 "Why Not Rather Be Wronged?"22:43 Three lenses: Ecclesiological Perspective - Body of Christ 25:20 Not Demanding Affirmation from Others27:50 Woman at the Well - John 429:10 Representing Jesus Well30:25 Three lenses: Leadership Perspective - Being Misunderstood 31:52 Leadership & Confidentiality34:35 Practical Leadership Example37:00 Decision Tree - When to Take the Hit38:15 Closing Remarks

In this episode of Church Is Messy, Rick and Svea tackle one of the most uncomfortable passages in the New Testament: 1 Corinthians 5. They discuss a shocking situation in the Corinthian church where a man was sleeping with his stepmother, and the congregation was doing nothing about it.Rick and Svea explore the tension between creating a church where people feel safe in struggling with sin while still maintaining biblical standards. They unpack what it means to address sin within the church versus judging those outside it, and why Paul's instruction to "hand this man over to Satan" was actually an act of love aimed at restoration.The conversation covers challenging questions like: How do we balance grace and accountability? What's the difference between being judgmental and exercising discernment? And how should Christians engage with cultural issues without becoming the "morality police"?Whether you're wrestling with how to approach sin in your own life or wondering how the church should respond to difficult situations, this episode offers a thoughtful, grace-filled perspective on navigating one of Scripture's messiest passages.Topics discussed in this episode:00:00 - Introduction & Overview of 1 Corinthians 5 01:14 - The Situation in Corinth 03:23 - Relevance to Modern Church Life 04:28 - Pastoral Heart & Balancing Grace with Truth 07:26 - "Lowered the Bar, Raised the Standard" 08:50 - Struggling vs. Stubbornly Entrenched in Sin 10:34 - "Who Rules" vs. "What Are the Rules" 12:55 - Addressing Sin Within vs. Outside the Church 14:25 - Wanting Good for Non-Believers Without Being Judgmental 17:03 - Judgment vs. Discernment 19:01 - Christians, Politics & Voting 20:00 - Roe v.

In this episode of Church Is Messy, Rick and Svea dive into Paul's letter to the Corinthians, exploring how the early church struggled with the same tribal divisions we see today. Using a clever Jelly Roll analogy, Rick illustrates how easily Christians can align themselves with personalities and influencers rather than keeping Jesus as their foundation.The conversation tackles the tension between theological knowledge and spiritual maturity, the danger of evaluating Jesus through the lens of our preferred tribe rather than the other way around, and what it means to truly be the temple of God. Rick and Svea discuss the importance of knowing not just what we believe, but why we believe it, and how immaturity and pride can lead us to seek certainty in the wrong places.Throughout the episode, they emphasize that while we're called to contribute to God's work, it's ultimately His presence and power that produces growth—not our performance. The discussion offers both challenge and comfort: we're all vulnerable to these patterns, but we have a solid foundation in Christ that can't be shaken.Topics discussed in this episode:00:00 Intro02:10 Jelly Roll Parable and Church Polarization04:45 Teaching How to Think, Not What to Think06:30 Historical Perspective on Division10:00 Evaluating Jesus Through Our Tribe14:45 Theologically Rich but Spiritually Poor19:30 Immaturity and the Craving for Certainty23:00 Building on the Foundation of Christ26:00 Contributing vs. Producing28:15 We Are the Temple32:20 What a Healthy Church Looks Like37:00 Closing & Preview of Next Week

Share a commentA God who cries at a graveside and prays through sweat and sorrow isn't distant from our pain—and that truth frames one of the most breathtaking true stories of mission and redemption. We start where many believers secretly live: wondering whether tears are wasted and whether apparent failure means God has gone silent. From the compassion of Jesus at Lazarus's tomb to the anguish of Gethsemane, we ground the journey in a Savior who validates grief and transforms it into hope.Against that backdrop, we walk with David and Svea Flood into the Belgian Congo: malaria, shut gates, and a single boy allowed to sell eggs at their tent. Svea shares the gospel with him; soon after, she dies following childbirth. David, shattered, buries her on the hill and abandons faith, convinced the mission failed. Their newborn, Aina, is adopted, brought to the United States, and grows up with only fragments of her story. Years later, a Swedish magazine lands in her mailbox with a photo of a simple cross: “Svea Flood.” Translated lines tell of the boy who became a teacher, won his village, and helped plant a thriving church.What unfolds next is restoration. Aina finds her father in Sweden, bitter and broken. She tells him the truth: the seed did not die in vain. Hope returns; grace does its quiet work. Then, at a London conference, Aina meets the very man her mother led to Christ—now a national church leader representing more than a hundred thousand baptized believers. Together they journey back to the hill, to the grave beneath the palm, and to a village alive with faith.This is a story for anyone who has sown in tears and seen nothing bloom—yet. It's about unseen seeds, long timelines, and the God who weeps with us while turning loss into a harvest beyond our imagination.

de hade hittat vänskap och självförtroende i varandra och sig själva.En: They had found more than just the waterfall; they had found friendship and self-confidence in each other and in themselves.Sv: Skogen, med sin tystnad och skönhet, hade gett dem mer än de någonsin kunde förvänta sig.En: The forest, with its silence and beauty, had given them more than they ever could have expected.

In this episode of Church is Messy Pastor Caleb Smith (who gave this week's message) and Svea discuss Paul's teaching from 1 Corinthians 1:18-31 about the paradox of the cross - how God's "foolishness" is wiser than human wisdom and his "weakness" is stronger than human strength. Their conversation explores how this ancient message applies to modern Christians facing intellectual persecution and cultural rejection, emphasizing four key responses from Luke 18: reliance on God, humility, trust, and obedience as a framework for engaging with contemporary challenges while standing firm in faith and leading with love.At about the 24 minute mark Caleb talks about a statement Transform MN (of which Autumn Ridge is a part) put out about praying during the events unfolding in Minnesota. The link to that document is https://transformmn.org/portfolio/this-is-why-we-pray/Topics discussed in this episode:00:00 Intro02:46 Different approaches to the passage.03:27 Oxymorons and paradoxes.07:32 The foolishness of the cross.09:04 The scandalous nature of the cross.11:27 Modern application - being called a moron.12:34 Encouragement to persecuted followers of Jesus.16:01 Responding with empathy.17:11 The power (dunamis) of God.19:54 Connection to the garden and original sin.22:12 Application to contemporary culture.26:08 Four principles from Luke 18: reliance on God, humility before God, trust in God, obedience to God.28:48 Living out the four principles.30:25 Series overview and looking ahead.

Rick and Svea discuss 1 Corinthians 1, focusing on how the human desire for acceptance creates division in the church through “fences” (in-groups and out-groups) and “ladders” (status and hierarchy). They show how the Corinthian church split around admired leaders like Paul, Apollos, and Peter, driven more by Roman culture's obsession with prestige than by real theological differences. The episode draws connections to modern Christian identity, emphasizes unity and equality in Christ, and encourages humility, community, and finding true acceptance in God's love.Topics discussed in this episode:00:00 Intro01:11 Diving in to 1 Corinthians chapter 1.02:01 Fences (acceptance) and ladders (approval).04:52 There are no fences in Christ. The only fence is our sin. The only gate is Jesus.08:40 1 Corinthians 1:12 - I follow Paul, I follow Apollos... Attaching to human figures, not Jesus. Stupid games lead to stupid prizes. Their prize of petty competitiveness and fractured relationships.11:57 We do this too. We can't define ourselves by what people or groups we agree with or disagree with.13:36 Thinking of spiritual formation, how do we avoid falling into the trap of attaching ourselves to and aligning with a singular spiritual leader with whom you agree and saying, "I'm a so-and-so Christian?" Be in community with other believers.19:21 We tend to apply our need for acceptance and approval in dysfunctional ways. What's the God-given underlying foundation for wanting acceptance and approval?23:30 Advice for those who are ready to live without fences and ladders, but you see fences and ladders all around you.

Lars “Lasse‑Maja” Larsson Molin (1785-1845) var en tjuv som i början av 1800-talet blev mycket berömd på grund av sitt modus operandi att klä sig i kvinnokläder. Efter att fällts för stöld i domstol vid tre tillfällen dömdes han till att bli fästningsfånge på livstid.Lasse-Maja var en återfallsförbrytare som stal och bände på könsgränserna med gott humör. Han blev ännu mer berömd i samtiden och fram till våra dagar genom sin något förljugna självbiografi Den vidtberyktade Äfventyraren Lasse Majas … besynnerliga öden och lefnadhändelser (1833) som sedan dess varit tryck fram till idag.I avsnittet av podden Historia Nu samtalar programledaren Urban Lindstedt med Lasse Ericson Wolke, professor emeritus i historia vid Försvarshögskolan och författare till boken Lasse-Maja : stortjuven som blev författare och legend (Carlssons förlag).Lars Larsson Molin, född den 5 oktober 1785 i byn Djupdalen i Ramsbergs socken i Västmanland, växte upp i fattiga förhållanden. Hans far var skräddare, modern hette Stina Olsdotter och hade släktskap till bergsmanstraditioner. Familjens ekonomi försämrades, och Lars såg tidigt hur svårt det var att upprätthålla en stabil försörjning.I tonåren visar han tecken på både skämtsam läggning och en ovilja att arbeta, och han börjar begå mindre stölder. Redan 1802 hade han sin första stölddom. Efter att ha flyttat till Stockholm omkring 1804 intensifierades hans stöldturnéer, särskilt i det så kallade triangeln Stockholm–Örebro–Västerås. Han kom att beskrivas som stortjuv, men ofta handlade stölderna om varor av ringa värde som mat och kläder. Han blev känd för att kombinera listiga kupper med utklädnad, och särskilt förklädnad i kvinnokläder. Att han antog namnet “Lasse‑Maja” sägs ha sin grund i att han, under en period med sin älskade Maja, iklädde sig hennes kläder — och hon ska ha utropat att han såg bra ut i dem. I hans egen självbiografi framstår klädbytet dels som ett verktyg — att kamouflera sig, minska misstankar och få tillträde — dels som en del av hans identitet och lust att röra sig mellan genusgränser. Under årens lopp påstår senare källor att han genomförde omkring hundra stölder, vilket ofta citeras som symboliskt för hans omfattande verksamhet.I september 1813 greps Lasse‑Maja, efter utredning av kyrkstölden och en lång serie stöldanklagelser. Svea hovrätt dömde honom till livstids straffarbete, och han sändes till Carlstens fästning på Marstrand.I denna period i Sverige var rättssystemet hårt och straffmässigt rigoröst. Brott mot kyrkonormer – såsom stöld av kyrkogods – betraktades som särskilt allvarliga och bestraffades strängare än vanlig stöld. Livstids straffarbete vid fästning var ett sätt att isolera och disciplinera dömda. Men viktigt att notera: “livstidsdom” betydde inte nödvändigtvis fängelse till döden — benådning var möjlig, beroende på uppförande eller kontakter.Fästningsfängelser som Carlstens fästning var avsedda att vara isolerande, men undantag fanns för fångar med särskilt gott uppförande eller särskilda roller. I Lasse‑Majas fall gav köksansvar och socialt gods hans liv i fängelset mer rymd än för många andra.Han skötte köksarbete i fängelset och blev uppskattad för sina matlagningsfärdigheter, vilket gav honom förbättrade villkor. Han tog emot besök och berättade sina äventyr — han utvecklades till en kuriositet och attraktion för besökare.Hans dråpliga självbiografi publicerades redan 1833: Den vidtberyktade Äfventyraren Lasse Majas … besynnerliga öden och lefnadhändelser. Och har funnits i tryck sedan dess. Det är mycket som inte stämmer med verkligheten i biografin, men den är trots detta intressant då den skildrar en fattig människa liv, dessutom en människa som rör sig mellan genusgränserna.Bild: Lasse-Maja.

During the month of December Rick and Svea turn the microphone around and answer your questions on the podcast. Do you have a questions you'd like them to address in future episodes? Email your questions to podcast@autumnridge.church.Topics discussed in this episode:00:00 Intro02:40 Five questions for today's episode: 1) (04:37) God is all-knowing. He knew the fall was going to happen, why didn't he prevent it? 2) (13:21) Creation, the fossil record and the biblical timeline. 3) (23:46) Why doesn't Jesus save everyone, in reference to Matthew 22:14 - many are called but few are chosen. 4) (37:28) Jesus serving Judas at the last supper knowing his betrayal was imminent. 5) (45:29) When do we receive our resurrection body? What happens when we die?04:37 QUESTION 1: God is omniscient, omnipresent, and omnipotent. God knew his two masterpiece creations in His own image would rebel in self-reliance in the Garden. He knew Eve would be deceived and Adam would fail to lead his wife. God, throughout the Bible intervenes and rescues. Why not intervene and rescue at the beginning and prevent the Fall as the all-knowing, all-present, and all-powerful God?07:07 A biblically informed speculation: God knew all the possible outcomes to all the possible scenarios and this is the path he chose.09:23 Getting practical. Why do we choose to have kids knowing they're not going to be perfect and there will be some heartache along the way?13:21 QUESTION 2: How do we reconcile the fossil record and Biblical timeframe?16:17 Our interpretation - Genesis 1 & 2 doesn't give a rigid timeframe. It gives an account of creation. It's not saying how and how long it stating who created and why he created.21:58 Apply Romans 14: If there is disagreement on the understanding of Genesis 1 & 2, be convinced in your own mind and show grace to the other point of view.23:46 QUESTION 3: Can you address Matthew 22:14, where Jesus says many are called but few are chosen? This is one of the most heartbreaking verses of the Bible for me. I desperately want to believe that God has made a way for many to be chosen. I know and believe that salvation comes only through Jesus, and I am hopeful that there are ways people accept Jesus that perhaps we cannot see from the outside, so it is not few that are chosen. Is it possible that I am misunderstanding this verse?25:14 A framework for reading about parables.27:52 Parables are made up stories intended to communicate truth - usually one truth. The truth of this parable is respond to the invitation appropriately.29:55 What's the deal with the man dressed inappropriately for the wedding?33:10 What does it mean many are invited but few are chosen?37:28 QUESTION 4: Can you speak on the significance of when Jesus first instituted communion at the last supper and Judas received? He shared that with Jesus and then led him to the cross and Jesus knew that was going to happen.38:40 Fencing the table.39:54 This was a Passover meal instituted in the Old Testament book of Exodus.45:29 QUESTION 5: When do we receive our new bodies? Is it when Jesus comes again and the rapture happens? Do we go to heaven and come back when Jesus comes back, get our new bodies and return to heaven? Do those in heaven stay there? What does revelation or other parts of the Bible reveal about this?48:41 What happens to someone who dies now?

Email your questions to podcast@autumnridge.church.Topics discussed in this episode:00:00 Intro02:15 QUESTION 1: The discussion on not being able to lose one's salvation was new to me and in the end I still didn't understand.03:58 John 3:16-18 It's indispensable to see Jesus as the King, the Authority, the One who is rightly holding us accountable.05:41 The moment of salvation and receiving forgiveness of sin from God (justification) and living with growing into sinning less often and becoming more like Jesus (sanctification) are similar to a marriage. You are married when you say "I do" but you have the daily process of choosing your spouse.08:02 QUESTION 2: What drew us to a non-denominational church such as Autumn Ridge?11:45 Some of the benefits of being a non-denominational church.14:04 Potential drawbacks to being a non-denominational church.16:07 QUESTION 3: How do we address the fraud happening in MN as a church family?17:41 All ethnicities and cultures are batting 1.000 when it comes to crime.21:43 Let's remember that ALL people are made in the image of God and ALL people are flawed.23:46 QUESTION 4: Mary wasn't given a choice was she? Gabriel just tells her, "You will conceive and give birth to a son and you will call him Jesus."26:25 Where and when does God need permission to do something in your life?29:39 Mary's response shows not only was she willing, but she was honored to be chosen.32:20 QUESTION 5: Can you explain the Trinity?34:39 There are a number of verses that talk about the Trinity, but the term "Trinity" never appears in Scripture. God is one being that exists in three persons. "Person" and "Being" are not synonyms. 40:08 QUESTION 5B: How do you know which person of the Trinity to pray to?

Värvade soldater har spelat en viktig roll inom den svenska krigsmakten, ända sedan Gustav Vasa började rekrytera tyska legoknektar på 1500-talet. Det fanns ett behov av snabbt gripbara värvade soldater på fästningar och i städer både för den yttre och inre säkerheten. De värvade soldaterna tvingades leva under svåra förhållanden i undermåliga förläggningar, med låg lön och drakonisk disciplin. Och det omgivande samhället föraktade de värvade soldaterna som rekryterades från den lägsta skikten i samhället. De värvade regementena hade stora problem att rekrytera soldater, medan livet som indelt soldat med eget torp länge var eftertraktade tjänster.I detta avsnitt av podden Historia Nu samtalar programledaren Urban Lindstedt med Lars Ericson Wolke, professor i historia vid Försvarshögskolan och aktuell med boken Nationens avskum, militärens elit – Myt och sanning om de värvade soldaterna i Sverige.Det har funnits värvade yrkessoldater i den svenska armén sedan medeltiden vid sidan om de indelta och senare värnpliktiga soldater. Många värvade soldater var tvångsrekryterade, deras lön var usel, disciplinen hård och de inhystes i dåliga inkvarteringar. Att de sedan kunde beskrivas som ”nationens avskum” gjorde knappast deras situation bättre. Men bilden var inte entydig - elitförband som Svea och Göta livgarde utgjordes av värvade soldater.Under medeltiden var det vanligt med inhyrda knektar i hela Europa, men det var först under 1500-talet som de erfarna och välutbildade landsknektarna blev en viktig del av Sveriges krigsmakt. På 1700-talet kom värvade soldater att utgöra runt en tredjedel av krigsmaktens personal. De placerades som garnisoner i de viktigaste fästningarna i Sverige, såsom Sveaborg och Helsingborg, Lovisa (Degerby), Hangö och Svartholm. Det är först år 1952 som de värvade soldaterna avskaffas.Lokalsamhället såg de värvade soldaterna på fästningar och i städer som oönskade främlingar. Och tvånget att inhysa värvade soldater hos borgare ansågs mycket betungande.Men krigsmakten hade ett behov av snabbt gripbara soldater både för den yttre och inre säkerheten. Och under perioder av krig kunde hälften av soldaterna vara värvade.Dessutom krävde både armén och marinen krävde välutbildade i specialtruppslag som artilleriet och ingenjörerna. Dessa krav kunde inte de indelta soldaterna eller senare de värnpliktiga matcha.Efter införandet av värnplikten efter år 1901 var rekryteringen av stamanställda volontärer nödvändig för att förse armén med en tillräcklig mängd underbefäl och även underofficerare. Det stamanställda manskapet var under 1900-talets första hälft, en viktig förutsättning för utbyggnaden av ett värnpliktsförsvar.Bild: Värvare av Gustaf Cederström (1879), Nationalmuseum, Erkännande-DelaLika (CC BY-SA), Digitaltmuseum.

During the month of December Rick and Svea turn the microphone around and answer your questions on the podcast. Do you have a questions you'd like them to address? Email your questions to podcast@autumnridge.church.Topics discussed in this episode:00:00 Intro01:55 Send your questions for the podcast to podcast@autumnridge.church03:18 QUESTION 1: What advice or insight would you give on silencing or at least quieting the questions of "Is God real?" or "Did Jesus really die for us?"06:10 An unexpected answer: lean in to those doubts and questions. Jude 22: Be merciful to those who doubt.09:52 It's not my responsibility to convince you. It's my responsibility to share with you what convinced me.11:55 Hold on to profound moments and experiences with Jesus - they can be powerful motivational tools to keep on keeping on.13:04 Resources: Podcasts - Undeceptions with John Dixon; Theology in the Raw with Preston Sprinkle; books on topics like the resurrection by N.T. Wright.14:59 QUESTION 2: How do we reconcile once saved always saved and losing salvation? Individuals use scripture for both approaches.15:33 Those two positions can't be reconciles. They are mutually exclusive. Looking at the whole of Scripture, what Jesus said, and the Epistles point to security.17:50 If we could lose our salvation, we would.18:05 Two passages people look at about losing salvation: Galatians 5 and Hebrews 6.23:24 Passages that convinced Rick about security in Christ: John 10, Romans 8, Ephesians 1.27:44 QUESTIONS 3: Can you comment on spiritual circumcision? Is this a requirement and specifically who does the circumcising of the heart?29:17 Used as a symbol like a wedding ring or baptism. It's a profound symbol of something that has been done.36:48 It is a synergy. We can't circumcise our hearts on our own and God won't circumcise our heart on his own even though he could; he wants a relationship.38:05 QUESTION 4: How do we reconcile that we are all made in the image of God and yet we live outside of God's design?40:39 Good news - we are made in the image of God. Bad news - we've all fallen short. Good news - Jesus stepped into the world to be with us and make it possible to be united with him through his life, death, and resurrection.42:22 Being made in God's image we should expect that people from all walks of life will exhibit things that reflect the goodness of God.48:53 The assumption that Christians "should be" more of all these good things than non-Christians. That assumption implies we're Christians because of our behavior not our Savior. We should see a trajectory of personal growth, but we shouldn't assume that Christians are the "good guys" and the non-Christians aren't. As Jesus followers, we need to be with Jesus, become like Jesus, and do as he did.

Gast: Dr. Svea von Hehn, Return on Meaning GmbH In dieser Folge des Podcast Personalmanagement spricht Gastgeber Michael Braun (www.michael-braun.de) mit Dr. Svea von Hehn (www.sveavonhehn.de), Psychologin, Führungskräfteentwicklerin und Geschäftsführerin der Return on Meaning GmbH aus Berlin, über die zunehmende Bedeutung von Achtsamkeit in der Arbeitswelt. Gemeinsam gehen sie der Frage nach, wie Achtsamkeit Organisationen, Führungskräften und Teams helfen kann, in Zeiten von Transformation, KI, hoher Komplexität und permanentem Wandel leistungsfähig, gesund und verbunden zu bleiben. In dieser Folge geht es um diese Themen: - Was Achtsamkeit heute bedeutet: Keine Esoterik, keine Räucherstäbchen – sondern neurowissenschaftlich fundierte, säkularisierte Achtsamkeit, die Aufmerksamkeit, Präsenz und Selbstregulation trainiert. - Warum Achtsamkeit zum Zeitgeist wurde: Von Google („Search Inside Yourself“) über SAP bis zum Mittelstand – Svea von Hehn zeigt, wie Forschung und Praxiserfolge Achtsamkeit in Organisationen etabliert haben. - Achtsamkeit als Hebel für Leadership: Emotionale Intelligenz, Empathie und Klarheit verbessern nachweislich Performance, Zusammenarbeit und Mitarbeiterbindung. Besonders wichtig: Die Balance zwischen Verbundenheit und Klarheit in der Führung. - Stress, KI, Veränderung – was macht das mit uns? Svea von Hehn erklärt, warum Aufmerksamkeit heute fragmentierter ist, wie Smartphones unsere Erholungsphasen verkürzen und weshalb Menschen in Organisationen innere Stabilität brauchen, um komplexe Veränderungen zu bewältigen. - Praktische Techniken für den Arbeitsalltag: von kurzen Innehalte-Momenten und Präsenzübungen, Check-ins im Team und klare, offene Fragen in Meetings über Formate für Austausch über Belastungen und Ressourcen bis zu Abgrenzung für empathische Menschen, die „alles aufsaugen“. - Kulturwandel in Organisationen: Welche Rolle Führungskräfte spielen, warum alte Rollenbilder (Stärke = keine Emotionen zeigen) hinderlich sind und wie man neue Führungsbilder etabliert. - Sie zeigt auch, wie Organisationen starten können: Sie stellt niedrigschwellige Impulse und kurze Lernformate vor, erklärt Pilot-Teams als Leuchttürme und zeigt den Aufbau eines internen Botschafternetzwerks.

On this Love Is The Agenda weekend, Rick and Svea talk about our guest speaker, Dr. Walter Kim, and the message he had on living out the gospel.Topics discussed in this episode:00:00 Intro02:49 CIM is taking the 2025 Thanksgiving week off. During December we're going to answer your questions on ANY topic. Send questions to podcast@autumnridge.church.04:07 Starting with one of Dr. Kim's questions: What am I saved for? What's the purpose of my life?09:03 Live out the gospel in compelling ways.11:58 The demonstration of the gospel makes the proclamation of the gospel compelling.13:18 We don't always have to demonstrate and proclaim the gospel at exactly the same time. It's okay to do one at a time, but it's never okay to do only one of the two.19:07 The message of the gospel. What is the gospel?24:48 Thinking out loud about the gospel.28:06 Living out the gospel: a couple of examples.

Rick and Svea close out the series on Acts of Leadership by looking at a powerful act of leadership: telling your story about your relationship with Jesus. No one knows your story better than you. No one will know your story unless you tell it.Topics discussed in this episode:00:00 Intro02:28 This passage resonated with a lot of people. It helps to take the fear out of evangelism - just tell your story.05:39 Paul's genius in how he told his story: bring light.08:22 Paul begins telling his story by honoring those to whom he is speaking - even though those people were of questionable character. 1) recognize dignity and 2) express respect.16:35 Honoring someone may require a high degree of self-control so you don't speak what first comes to mind about that person. 17:43 Adopt an approach toward people that comes out of who we are becoming in Christ.24:00 No one knows your story better than you. No one will know your story unless you tell it.27:23 What was life like before Jesus? What initially drew me toward him? What has my life been like since Jesus?29:32 We are responsible for what we contribute and we should take that seriously. We're not responsible for the result; God is.33:34 Taking it from an individual level to a corporate level. The why behind some of Autumn Ridge's outreach practices.42:50 Wrapping up the series on Acts of Leadership with this bow: telling your story is a powerful act of leadership that doesn't require the position of being a leader.

Rick and Svea spend much of the episode discussing Paul's warning to the church leaders in Ephesus as found in Acts 20:17-38: watch out for the wolves among you.A warning from Rick about this episode: It may contain meandering conversation with points of lucidity in a forest of discontinuity and convoluted word salads, but it has been fun.Topics discussed in this episode:00:00 Intro03:21 Serving is leading and leadership.06:35 The genius of Scripture: the same passage allowed Rick to pivot the emphasis in response to immediate needs without bending it to fit the new topic. This message's focus: Be on guard - have the back of those whom you lead.10:57 Wolves prowling around as a threat to the flock: Paul's admonition then and still true today.12:02 Three ways to spot a wolf: 1) they try to raise your level of fear; 2) they try to lower your level of empathy; and 3) they try to distract you from being an ambassador for Jesus and his kingdom.12:21 Looking at each wolf tactic: Watch out for those using fear as a manipulator.17:07 Watch out for those downplaying empathy or even calling it a sin. 25:33 Watch out for those trying to distract us from the primacy of Jesus.29:14 How do you overcome the wolves? In every arena of your life, live as though Jesus were living your life: be with Jesus, become more like Jesus, and do as Jesus did. Who we are becoming is more important than what we do.31:52 The big difference between a true representative of Jesus and a wolf: A true representative will say follow me as I follow Jesus. A wolf will try to get you to join their endeavor and impose aspects of Christianity on others so they can get more control.34:31 The way of Jesus is always going to be different than any expression of the world's way.35:17 Playing the movie forward.

This week the Acts of Leadership series takes us to Acts 15. Rick and Svea look at circumcision and the old covenant, the new covenant, and James' declaration in Acts 15:19, “It is my judgment, therefore, that we should not make it difficult for the Gentiles who are turning to God."Topics discussed in this episode:00:00 Intro02:41 We will always have to wrestle with issues that would seek to divide us.05:00 Circumcision: the sign of the old covenant.11:41 Baptism: the sign of the new covenant. Comparing circumcision with baptism.13:52 The new covenant is superior to the old covenant. The old covenant started outwardly and hoped it would become inward. The new covenant starts inwardly and expresses itself outwardly.20:25 If salvation is by faith alone, why did James add four "conditions" on the church in Acts 15?24:07 James isn't adding conditions to faith in Jesus, he's showing other practices that, if practiced, will pull their hearts away from Jesus and toward other gods.36:51 The thinking process of looking at Scripture in regard to temporary, cultural application vs permanent.39:21 If Paul, Peter, and James were addressing the American Church what practices might they suggest that would be helpful in following Jesus?

This week Rick and Svea look at Acts 10 and the story of Cornelius.Topics discussed in this episode:00:00 Intro06:11 Three questions about leadership: whom am I looking to for leadership, how am I leading myself, who looks to me for leadership.07:31 Cornelius in Acts 10. He was a complex character, we're all complex characters.10:12 We're never correct to reduce any person to one defining thing; it tends to bring out one of four bad responses. We're all multifaceted.13:08 In this passage we get to see how God saw Cornelius.15:52 A thought experiment.20:12 Good isn't bad; good is good. It's just not good enough to close the gap between us and God.23:16 The gap Cornelius had and his angelic visitors. God's methods are intentionally messy and inefficient.28:14 In this chapter we've seen Cornelius as a leader of people, show self-leadership, and now he looks to Peter for leadership.34:11 We need to trust Jesus enough to deconstruct our self-imposed rules so that he can rule. It's all about heart orientation.

Pastor Caleb Smith joins Rick and Svea to dig into the story of Philip and the Ethiopian Eunuch. Topics discussed in this episode:00:00 Intro and Rick's Boundary Waters adventures.03:50 Week three of Acts of Leadership: what jumped out of this week's passage?07:43 Caleb's process in seeing discipleship in this passage.14:16 Who you are is a greater contribution than what you do.17:42 The Quadrants: unconscious incompetence, conscious incompetence, conscious competence, unconscious competence.24:53 Jesus followers should be the most curious people around.31:11 Applying to whom do we look for leadership, self leadership, and others looking to us for leadership in this passage.

Today Rick and Svea talk about the challenges to developing authentic deep community and provide some ideas for developing this community.Topics discussed in this episode:00:00 Intro00:48 This week's focus is on community and the requirement for leadership decisions to shepherd each other.02:15 We live in a culture that is driven by individualism and isolation.05:11 Authentic, biblical Christian community isn't easy; it requires bravery, intentional vulnerability, messiness, awkwardness, and sometimes pain.09:01 A framework for community: intimates, kin, village, tribe.11:53 Church gatherings at Autumn Ridge are a gathering of a tribe. Community can be experienced and enjoyed, but it is not developed in the tribe. It's developed in the up-close relationships.13:06 Challenges to developing deep community.18:37 The fear of rejection.21:23 Ideas for developing community.23:45 How fast can this happen? Is there a microwave setting for developing community?

In today's episode Rick and Svea open discussion on our new series - a survey of the book of Acts: Acts of Leadership.Topics discussed in this episode:00:00 Intro02:22 Exciting news about Autumn Ridge and Practicing the Way.05:18 Acts of Leadership message series: leadership is a destination of discipleship.07:15 "I'm not really a natural leader" or, "I don't really want to be in a position of leadership."08:13 Three questions about leadership.13:33 The disciples question for Jesus and his unexpected answer. He's in the driver's seat; we're not.20:43 The importance of community. We need to be in relationship with people who are not exactly like we are.28:51 What does self-leadership look like when we thought we were following a course of action and expectations but God makes it clear the path is different than we thought?33:33 Recap: The tension of loving God and doing as you please.

In today's episode Rick and Svea have a discussion about loving our enemies and hating our enemies.Topics discussed in this episode:00:00 Intro - A Sunday afternoon gone wrong.04:05 An illustration from Rick's Sunday experience.06:11 Two visions: Love your enemy or hate your enemy.08:23 What does it look like to love your enemy?09:55 Paying a price for loving our enemy is a testing point. Not engaging in hero worship when someone says they forgive their enemy.14:42 The pressure to define "who is my brother" and "who is my enemy" devolves into who is human and who is subhuman and often taints our behaviors toward "others." It's not good for anybody.18:24 Looking to history to examine crimes against humanity or a particular group of people always begins with using dehumanizing language.19:07 Svea describes an incident she had from the previous week.27:09 Jesus gave us a simple (not always easy) handhold: pray for your enemies.

Transcript:Sv: Regnet kom plötsligt, som en överraskande ridå mellan sommaren och hösten.En: The rain came suddenly, like a surprising curtain between summer and autumn.Sv: Gamla Stans trånga gränder blev fyllda med människor som sökte skydd.En: The narrow alleyways of Gamla Stan filled with people seeking shelter.Sv: Bland dem var Lars, nyss återbörd från flera år utomlands.En: Among them was Lars, newly returned from several years abroad.Sv: Han hade återvänt till sitt hemland, men kände sig som en främling på dessa välbekanta gator.En: He had returned to his homeland but felt like a stranger on these familiar streets.Sv: Osäkerheten gnagde inom honom.En: Uncertainty gnawed at him.Sv: Lars steg in i det lilla kaféet vid hörnet, där doften av nybryggt kaffe alltid välkomnade gästerna.En: Lars stepped into the little café on the corner, where the scent of freshly brewed coffee always welcomed the guests.Sv: Kaféet var varmt och inbjudande, med ljud av skratt och lågmälda samtal som blandade sig med kaffets arom.En: The café was warm and inviting, with sounds of laughter and hushed conversations blending with the aroma of coffee.Sv: När han gick in, hörde han ett glatt rop.En: As he entered, he heard a joyful shout.Sv: "Men Lars!"En: "But Lars!"Sv: Det var Annika, hans vän från skoltiden.En: It was Annika, his friend from school days.Sv: Hon satt vid ett hörnbord, framför en sketchbok.En: She was sitting at a corner table, in front of a sketchbook.Sv: Bredvid henne satt Svea, journalist och alltid på jakt efter den där speciella berättelsen.En: Next to her sat Svea, a journalist always in search of that special story.Sv: "Annika!En: "Annika!Sv: Svea!En: Svea!Sv: Vilken överraskning!"En: What a surprise!"Sv: Lars satte sig ner och kände hur rastlösheten inom honom började lugna sig.En: Lars sat down and felt how the restlessness within him began to calm.Sv: Utanför föll regnet tätare, och fönsterna blev suddiga av droppar.En: Outside, the rain fell more densely, and the windows became blurry with droplets.Sv: Bara några minuter tidigare hade Annika suttit där, kämpande med en omöjlig målning.En: Just a few minutes earlier, Annika had been sitting there, struggling with an impossible painting.Sv: Hennes utställning närmade sig, och inspirationen kändes långt borta.En: Her exhibition was approaching, and inspiration felt far away.Sv: Hon betraktade Lars med nyfikenhet.En: She looked at Lars with curiosity.Sv: Kanske kunde ett gammalt vänners samtal bringa något nytt.En: Perhaps a conversation with old friends could bring something new.Sv: Svea observerade de två med tysta ögon.En: Svea observed the two with quiet eyes.Sv: Hon letade hela tiden efter meningsfulla berättelser.En: She was constantly searching for meaningful stories.Sv: Men i dagens snabba värld kändes de äkta berättelserna ibland svåra att finna.En: But in today's fast-paced world, genuine stories sometimes seemed hard to find.Sv: "Berätta, Lars," sa Svea, "hur känns det att vara tillbaka i Sverige?"En: "Tell us, Lars," said Svea, "how does it feel to be back in Sverige?"Sv: Lars suckade lätt och tittade på sina händer.En: Lars sighed lightly and looked at his hands.Sv: Hans osäkerhet hade hängt över honom som ett moln sen han steg av planet.En: His uncertainty had loomed over him like a cloud since he stepped off the plane.Sv: 'Ska jag dela med mig?'En: 'Should I share?'Sv: tänkte han.En: he thought.Sv: Men deras närvaro gav honom mod.En: But their presence gave him courage.Sv: "Det känns konstigt," svarade han till slut.En: "It feels strange," he finally replied.Sv: "Jag trodde jag skulle komma hem, men... det är svårt att hitta min plats här."En: "I thought I would feel at home, but... it's hard to find my place here."Sv: Svea skrev med närmast omedveten hand, men stannade plötsligt upp för att lyssna.En: Svea wrote almost unconsciously, but suddenly paused to listen.Sv: I Lars ord fanns något verkligt, något han själv stred med.En: In Lars's words, there was something real, something he himself struggled with.Sv: Annika lade ifrån sig sin penna.En: Annika put down her pen.Sv: "Vi alla känner det där ibland", sa hon tyst.En: "We all feel that sometimes," she said quietly.Sv: "Jag sliter just nu med min konst.En: "I'm struggling right now with my art.Sv: Det känns ibland som om jag tappat bort mig själv i penseldragen."En: It feels sometimes like I've lost myself in the brushstrokes."Sv: Samtalet flödade, regnet smattrade utanför som en mild bakgrundsmusik.En: The conversation flowed, the rain pattered outside like gentle background music.Sv: De delade rädslor, längtan, och små segrar.En: They shared fears, longings, and small victories.Sv: Svea kände hur ett varmt band växte runt dem, mycket starkare än hon anat när de först satte sig.En: Svea felt how a warm bond grew around them, much stronger than she had anticipated when they first sat down.Sv: Till slut log de alla tre, förståelsen hade tänts mellan dem.En: In the end, all three of them smiled, as understanding had sparked between them.Sv: Lars insåg att känslan av att inte höra till inte var unik.En: Lars realized that the feeling of not belonging was not unique.Sv: Han visste nu att han inte var ensam.En: He now knew he was not alone.Sv: Annika såg sina vänner med nya ögon, och plötsligt fick penseldragen i hennes sinne ny fart.En: Annika saw her friends with new eyes, and suddenly the brushstrokes in her mind gained new momentum.Sv: Svea, fylld med deras delade historia, visste att hon funnit något mycket större än vad hon först föreställt sig.En: Svea, filled with their shared story, knew she had found something much greater than she first imagined.Sv: En berättelse om verkliga människor, om vänskap och delade drömmar.En: A story about real people, about friendship and shared dreams.Sv: Regnet minskade, men deras samtal var inte slut.En: The rain subsided, but their conversation was not over.Sv: I den varma kafémiljön hade de inte bara funnit skydd från regnet, utan också från livets oro.En: In the warm café environment, they had found not only shelter from the rain but also from life's worries.Sv: När solen till slut bröt igenom molnen visste de alla tre att de hittat något vackert denna regniga dag i Gamla Stan.En: When the sun finally broke through the clouds, all three of them knew they had found something beautiful on this rainy day in Gamla Stan.Sv: Lars kände till sist att kanske, bara kanske, hade han ändå kommit hem.En: Lars felt at last that maybe, just maybe, he had come home after all.

Unsere beiden heutigen Gäste verbindet ein gemeinsames Ziel: ein Netzwerk zu schaffen, das nicht nur Frauen stärkt, sondern echte Augenhöhe zwischen den Geschlechtern ermöglicht. Die eine war schon einmal bei uns zu Gast: Sie hat Jura studiert und gleich drei Karrierewege eingeschlagen, als Politikerin, als Sängerin und als Unternehmerin. Mit ihrer Personalberatung D-Level hat sie über ein Jahrzehnt Führungspositionen in der digitalen Wirtschaft besetzt, bevor sie mit dem Strive Magazin das erste Wirtschaftsmagazin für Frauen gründete. Ihr Antrieb: Frauen sichtbar machen, Wirtschaft anders denken und neue Räume für Führung schaffen. Die andere ist heute zum ersten Mal bei uns. Sie ist ebenfalls Unternehmerin, war vorher in führenden Positionen bei Mercedes-Benz und Mister Spex tätig, immer mit einem klaren Fokus auf Transformation, Strategie und operativer Exzellenz. Heute ist sie CEO eines Unternehmens in der Bestattungsbranche, Co-Founderin eines Fashion-Tech-Startups und Head of Business Network bei Strive. Gemeinsam bauen sie unter dem Dach des Strive-Ökosystems „Powerhouse“ auf, ein Netzwerk, das explizit auf 50:50 ausgelegt ist. Frauen UND Männer, gemeinsam für mehr Vielfalt, neue Perspektiven und den Mut, Wirtschaft neu zu denken“. Seit über acht Jahren beschäftigen wir uns in diesem Podcast mit der Frage, wie Arbeit den Menschen stärkt, statt ihn zu schwächen. In fast 500 Gesprächen mit über 700 Gästen haben wir darüber gesprochen, was sich für sie geändert hat – und was sich noch ändern muss. Warum sind Netzwerke heute wichtiger denn je, besonders für Führungskräfte in einer sich wandelnden Wirtschaft? Was bedeutet Diversität jenseits von Symbolik und wie gelingt echte Teilhabe und Zusammenarbeit auf Augenhöhe? Und weshalb könnte ein bewusst 50:50 angelegtes Netzwerk genau der Hebel sein, den wir brauchen, um Führung neu zu denken? Fest steht: Für die Lösung unserer aktuellen Herausforderungen brauchen wir neue Impulse. Daher suchen wir weiter nach Methoden, Vorbildern, Erfahrungen, Tools und Ideen, die uns dem Kern von New Work näherbringen. Darüber hinaus beschäftigt uns von Anfang an die Frage, ob wirklich alle Menschen das finden und leben können, was sie im Innersten wirklich, wirklich wollen. Ihr seid bei On the Way to New Work – heute mit Katharina Wolff und Svea Ohle. [Hier](https://linktr.ee/onthewaytonewwork) findet ihr alle Links zum Podcast und unseren aktuellen Werbepartnern
