Podcasts about Thom

In 2006, "Simple Church" encouraged churches to streamline programming, clarify discipleship pathways, and focus on moving people toward spiritual maturity rather than filling calendars with activities. The book had a significant impact, shaping how thousands of pastors thought about ministry systems and structure. Nearly two decades later, Thom and Sam take a fresh look: What principles stood the test of time? What challenges emerged in practice? And how should churches apply "Simple Church" today in a ministry landscape that's more complex, digital, and post-pandemic than ever? The post Revisiting Simple Church: What Worked, What Didn’t appeared first on Church Answers.

Delayed gratification is often touted as one of the secrets to a fulfilling life. The famous marshmallow experiment concluded that children who were able to delay the reward of a marshmallow for a larger reward of more marshmallows had better outcomes later in life.But is this really the case? Are we actually better off favoring long-term good over short-term pleasure?In this episode, Thom explains that this is more than just a philosophical question, it's actually a question that has implications for evolution of the species.And the answer might surprise you…Episode Highlights00:45 It's All About Knowledge03:26 Evolution is Not a Straight Line07:41 We Have to Have a Blend12:07 There's No Such Thing as Perfection in the Relative World14:19 Disruption Causes Adaptation to Occur17:46 Q: What can you tell us about freeze reactivity?17:58 A: Catatonia is the Extreme20:38 Practice Vedic Meditation to Remove Irrelevant NeurochemistryYou can also watch this episode on YouTube here: https://youtu.be/B3a7BvY50TwUseful Linksinfo@thomknoles.com  https://thomknoles.com/https://www.instagram.com/thethomknoleshttps://www.facebook.com/thethomknoleshttps://www.youtube.com/c/thomknoleshttps://thomknoles.com/ask-thom-anything/

Consciousness is spoken of in many different ways and contexts. Usually when we speak of consciousness, we know the meaning that's being conveyed. But what exactly is consciousness?It's both a philosophical and scientific question at the same time. In this episode, Thom cuts through the philosophy to give us a pragmatic answer to the question. It's an answer that lets us get on with the business of being conscious with ever-increasing capacity. Episode Highlights00:45 Consciousness is That Which Makes Existence Relevant 04:15 Is-ness, Am-ness, I-ness, My-ness 07:38 Repertoires of Consciousness 11:24 Everything is a Response to Observation 14:57 Maximizing Capability 19:49 Q: Where was the one thing before it became many? 20:04 A: Everywhereness Inside of It 23:36 Once Upon a Time 26:26 The Variety that Creates Storyline 29:17 Lesha Avidya: The Faint Remains of Ignorance 32:09 A Blend of Ignorance and Consciousness 34:42 Q - Is more consciousness better? 35:13 A: The Animal Kingdom is More Violent Than the Human Kingdom 37:32 Content vs Context 42:15 The Ability of EnlightenmentYou can also watch this episode on YouTube here: https://youtu.be/Hj3SxekBMOMUseful Linksinfo@thomknoles.com  https://thomknoles.com/https://www.instagram.com/thethomknoleshttps://www.facebook.com/thethomknoleshttps://www.youtube.com/c/thomknoleshttps://thomknoles.com/ask-thom-anything/

Mei 2024. Roda JC en FC Groningen verwikkeld in een hevige promotiestrijd. Op speeldag 38 spelen de twee tegen elkaar in de Euroborg, maar een week daarvoor kan het al beslist worden. Roda wint thuis met 2-0 van Cambuur, terwijl Groningen op bezoek bij Telstar 1-0 achterstaat. Met die stand is Roda direct gepromoveerd naar de Eredivisie. Supporters rennen het veld op, maar de spelers blijven rustig, wetende dat de wedstrijd in Velsen-Zuid nog bezig is. Dan komt de gelijkmaker: Thom van Bergen kopt raak, 1-1. Groningen wordt gek, in Limburg slaat men de handen voor de ogen. Tot er ineens iets klinkt uit de speakers van het Parkstad Limburg Stadion. Stadionspeaker Wim Frijns kondigt de 2-1 aan van Telstar. Het veld wordt opnieuw bestormd door feestende supporters en spelers. Maar die 2-1 is nooit gevallen, de wedstrijd eindigt gewoon in 1-1. Totale chaos. Frijns pakt andermaal de microfoon: "Ik moet helaas mededelen dat het niet de 2-1 is geworden." Supporters vallen ter aarde, spelers worden van de schouders gehaald. Twee keer denken dat je er bent, twee keer van een koude kermis thuiskomen. En als je denkt dat Roda niet dieper kon zinken, vraag dan vooral niet wat er in de weken hierna gebeurde.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

If entrepreneurs are inspired, empowered, and genuinely love what they are doing, their efforts can lead to profound economic development. Gary Schoeniger speaks with his longtime friend Thom Ruhe, President and CEO of NC IDEA. Together, they discuss what it takes to build thriving entrepreneurial ecosystems – not just programs or funding pipelines, but cultures of agency, inclusion, and possibility. Thom also explains why mindset may be the missing piece in economic development and how to put entrepreneurial thinking at the heart of education, workforce, and economic growth. Tune in and discover why entrepreneurship is one of the most powerful forces for unlocking human potential.

What if a first-time guest experienced your church the way a customer experiences Amazon? No confusion. No friction. No wasted steps. Just clarity, care, and consistency. This episode is not about turning the church into a corporation. It's about learning from an organization that obsesses over people, removes barriers relentlessly, and improves every system on purpose. Today, Thom and Jess ask a simple but uncomfortable question: If Amazon ran your church for one year, what would actually change?

Many are tired of online worship. What happened? When the pandemic forced churches online, digital worship seemed like the future. Congregations grew virtually, and pastors reached audiences they never imagined. But five years later, that momentum has faded. The church is discovering what technology can—and cannot—do for worship. On this episode, Thom and Sam explore why online engagement has declined and how churches can find balance between digital convenience and in-person community. The post Digital Worship Fatigue: Why Online Church Can't Replace the In-Person Gathering appeared first on Church Answers.

How do children really experience their parents' separation? In this episode, Thom explores why children are often far more adaptive to a family separation than adults assume, and how they unconsciously mirror the emotional state of their parents. Drawing on the Vedic worldview, Thom explains why change is evolutionary, why staying together “for the children” can be harmful, and how honoring the other parent protects a child's sense of self. A compassionate and clarifying perspective for any parent navigating relationship change.You can also watch this episode on YouTube here: https://youtu.be/YRsKT1togKwEpisode Highlights[00:45] Children Tend to be Peacekeepers[03:28] Involve a Third Party for the Child to Speak With[07:01] Protecting Children's Emotions[09:26] Don't Stay Together “For the Children”[12:57] Change is Evolutionary[15:18] Avoid Speaking Ill of Each Other[18:00] Honor the Other ParentUseful Linksinfo@thomknoles.com  https://thomknoles.com/https://www.instagram.com/thethomknoleshttps://www.facebook.com/thethomknoleshttps://www.youtube.com/c/thomknoleshttps://thomknoles.com/ask-thom-anything/

Happy New Year, Christmas Fanatics! We're back with our first full episode of 2027! We hope everyone had a fantastic holiday season and squeezed every last bit of joy out of it because wow, did it fly by!   In this episode, Julia and Anthony are flying without Thom. After catching up on the holidays, birthdays, anniversaries, and the movies they've watched lately, they reluctantly dive into 2025's "A Winnie the Pooh Christmas". Just how bad can a "Winnie the Pooh" holiday special be? Unfortunately pretty rough. So rough, in fact, that discussion about it doesn't even take up half of the episode.   To cleanse the palate with something they actually love, Julia and Anthony then spend the bulk of this one breaking down and reacting to the "Stranger Things" finale! Fair warning: spoilers abound, so proceed with caution if you're not caught up!   So get comfy, unwind, and let us bring a little extra holiday cheer to your Monday to help chase away those post-holiday blues. And don't worry—we'll be right here with you all year long, counting down the days to Christmas 2026. Trust us, it'll be here before you know it.   As always, thank you all so much for the love and support! We couldn't do this without you!

Church attendance is both a helpful tool and a potential trap. Numbers can reveal momentum, but they can also distort priorities if leaders focus on counting heads instead of making disciples. In this episode, Thom and Sam unpack the healthy and unhealthy ways to measure worship attendance, and how pastors can move from chasing growth to cultivating spiritual health. The post Does Counting Church Worship Attendance Still Make Sense? appeared first on Church Answers.

Are events in life symbolic, or are they simply expressive moments within a vast, intelligent universe? We humans love to make meaning of things, especially unusual events or mysterious dreams. Are we justified in doing so, or are we possibly distracting ourselves from what's really going on around us. Once again, Thom offers a profound reframing of symbolism, dreaming, and the role of unbounded awareness in everyday life.You can also watch this episode in two parts on YouTube, here https://youtu.be/ExUj9fmAeVU and here https://youtu.be/gkEwft6ST-0. Episode Highlights[00:45] Q - To what extent is everything symbolic?[01:18] A - Coincidences Are a Continuum of Reality[06:24] What You See Is What You Get[08:29] Assembly Theory and Abiogenesis[12:08] Leftover Star Stuff Arguing About the Dishes[15:32] Q - What Is the Vedic Perspective on Dreams and Dreaming?[15:46] A - Dreams Aren't Dreams[18:44] A Disjointed Story[22:17] Nighttime Cognitions[25:39] Remembering Is Overrated[29:14] Crossing Thresholds of Unboundedness[32:11] Vedic Meditators Lose the Need to DreamUseful Linksinfo@thomknoles.com  https://thomknoles.com/https://www.instagram.com/thethomknoleshttps://www.facebook.com/thethomknoleshttps://www.youtube.com/c/thomknoleshttps://thomknoles.com/ask-thom-anything/

Nearly five years after COVID-19 lockdowns, the research reveals surprising truths about how Americans engage with church online and what that means for pastors and ministry leaders. While 91% of churches now livestream services, only about 14% of Americans watch weekly. Most online viewers are also in-person attenders, meaning livestreams tend to serve already-committed believers rather than reaching the unchurched. The dream of a large “online-only” congregation just doesn't match the numbers. In this episode of the Burge Report, Ryan, Thom, and Sam give their key takeaways. The post The Burge Report: Who's Really Watching Online Church? appeared first on Church Answers.

One of the biggest causes of suffering in our lives is the fact that nothing lasts forever. It's not only true that all good things must come to an end, but all things must come to an end. In this episode, Thom reminds us that Nature has the final say on what is, and what no longer is relevant in the natural process of evolution. Rather than resisting Nature's timing, our suffering is reduced or eliminated if we embrace Nature's timing.Once again, Vedic meditators have a natural edge in putting this into practice. Listen to the full episode to explore the complete teaching, or watch it on YouTube here: https://youtu.be/99fcBENajAsEpisode Highlights00:45 Evolve03:58 You Are a Production06:03 A Universe That Wants a Story07:48 Constant Atomic Exchange11:26 Identifying Irrelevancy Through Vedic Meditation14:14 Constant Relevance Refreshment17:15 The Dangers of the Ever-Repeating Known20:19 Disruption and Relevance23:13 Letting Go of Rigid Attachment25:45 Contextualizing Pain30:34 Welcome to the Solution to All ProblemsUseful Linksinfo@thomknoles.com  https://thomknoles.com/https://www.instagram.com/thethomknoleshttps://www.facebook.com/thethomknoleshttps://www.youtube.com/c/thomknoleshttps://thomknoles.com/ask-thom-anything/
