ACF Church Sermon Podcasts

In a world more connected than ever before, we're paradoxically facing a global loneliness epidemic. Dr. Jake Thurston, lead pastor and author of "You Need Friends," joins host Rodney Olsen to explore how we've lost the art of meaningful connection and what we can do to reclaim it. From the architectural changes that replaced front porches with garages to the rise of tribalism and social media's hollow promises of connection, Jake reveals the complex factors contributing to our isolation.   Drawing from his decade of research and the ancient Christian practice of spiritual friendship, Jake offers practical solutions for building the deep, vulnerable relationships our souls crave. He discusses how the decline of faith communities, our fear of vulnerability, and our individualistic culture have left us surrounded by people yet profoundly alone. This conversation provides hope and actionable steps for anyone longing to move from surface-level interactions to life-changing spiritual friendships that can transform both our mental health and our relationship with God.   WEBLINKS You Need Friends Website Jake's Instagram You Need Friends on Amazon

You Need Friends God's Cure for Loneliness Jake Thurston part 1Pastor Bob Thibodeau engages in a profound conversation with Jake Thurston, the author of "You Need Friends," as they explore the alarming loneliness epidemic that affects many, despite the paradox of our digital age. Thurston shares about the ancient Christian practice of spiritual friendship, advocating for a deeper connection that transcends superficial interactions and fosters genuine relationships rooted in mutual support and faith. They examine how modern technology, particularly social media, often exacerbates feelings of isolation rather than alleviating them, leading to a culture steeped in loneliness. Through this discussion, they highlight the importance of community and the transformative power of authentic friendships, emphasizing that true connection is vital not just for emotional well-being, but for spiritual health as well.Takeaways: Pastor Bob Thibodeau emphasizes the significance of spiritual friendship in combating loneliness, illustrating how deep connections can lead to emotional and spiritual healing. Jake Thurston highlights the alarming rise of loneliness in America, alongside the detrimental effects of social media on genuine interpersonal relationships. The discussion reveals that true friendship, as defined by ancient Christian traditions, requires mutual sacrifice and a shared pursuit of faith and personal growth. Thurston's research indicates that vulnerability and confession are critical in developing deep friendships that can help alleviate feelings of isolation and loneliness. Both speakers note that modern technology, while seemingly connecting us, often fosters a superficial level of interaction that fails to meet our deeper emotional needs. The podcast explores the role of churches in creating diverse spaces for community connection, emphasizing the need for intentional small groups that promote intimate relationships.

In this week's Flagship Flashback episode of the Wade Keller Pro Wrestling Podcast from five years ago (4-23-2020), PWTorch editor Wade Keller was joined by special guest Brandon Thurston from Wrestlenomics.com and the Wrestlenomics Podcast. Thurston has focused for years on WWE's finances, and today was perhaps the most anticipated and consequential financial release day for WWE for a wide array of reasons. They discuss COVID-19 ramifications, key metrics on WrestleMania when it comes to WWE Network subscriptions and social media, WWE's roster cutbacks and its impact on WWE's finances, how Vince McMahon's role on the Investors Conference call changed without longtime co-presidents Michelle Wilson and George Barrios, McMahon saying WWE might never be in the live event business again even after COVID-19 crisis passes, how an elimination of North American non-TV house shows could change WWE's profitability and why some of the current data is deceptive, the magic cleaner Triple H referenced that is helping keep wrestlers safe from the coronavirus, and more. If you've been looking for an in-depth overview and understanding of WWE's financial situation in the midst of the coronavirus and analysis of their framing of their current situation, Thurston provides over 90 minutes of insight and digestible explanations on where WWE stands and how the future looks.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/wade-keller-pro-wrestling-podcast--3076978/support.
