Podcasts about True Life

What does it really mean to be a bondservant of Jesus Christ? In this message, Pastor DaVon reveals the difference between simply working for Jesus and recognizing that you belong to Jesus. Your life is His. You submit your will to His will. Your purpose and assignment come from Him. Knowing who you belong to changes how you live, serve, obey, and fulfill your assignment.

Who are you when you fully surrender to God? In this “Who Are You?” series, Pastor DaVon challenges you to discover what it truly means to live from your identity in Christ. You'll be challenged to present your body to God as a living sacrifice—fully surrendered and completely committed to His purpose. Have you placed your life on the altar?

1. What is the word used for life in this passage?2. In what way is the pursuit of "life" leading to death?3. How do we find true life?4. What does true life produce in us?

Two of the biggest questions people are asking today are: Who am I, and what am I supposed to do? In this message, Pastor DaVon answers these questions and shows you how discovering who you are in Christ gives you identity, purpose, and direction for your life.

From there the conversation opens into the ideas at the center of his book, The Psychedelic Reformation: why "renaissance" is the wrong word for what's happening with these medicines (they never left — they were pushed underground), what the "stay put muscle" is and why it matters more than any technique, the existential weight of real informed consent, and why psilocybin is better understood as a technique to practice than a technology to master.Along the way: gifts from non-material beings, the stolen golden age of psychedelic research, whether mushrooms are medicine, drug, or sacrament, and why science and religion may both be asking the wrong questions about healing and authority.More conversations like this one → truelife.transistor.fmEric's book, The Psychedelic Reformation → ericsosborne.com/the-psychedelic-reformation One on One Video call W/George https://tidycal.com/georgepmonty/60-minute-meetingSupport the show:https://www.paypal.me/Truelifepodcast?locale.x=en_US

Logan opens up about his spiritual awakening at fifteen through Eckhart Tolle, a stretch of dissociation and mania that followed, and the months he spent at Alternative to Med Center in Sedona getting off medication and finding his way back into his body.The conversation ranges from what a real rite of passage looks like in a world that no longer offers one, to what climbing teaches about the line between fear and danger, to the psychology of dating apps, money, ego, and validation. George and Logan close by turning to the generational gap itself — what older generations miss about growing up saturated in screens, and what it means to build a meaningful life at the edge of a generation inheriting a radically different world.More conversations like this one are at truelife.transistor.fm.

Have you ever felt like you got exactly what you wanted, but still felt like something was missing? In this part of God's Word, Jesus tells us how to find true life. As we take a close look at what He said, we can learn how to find true life.

Perry Knoppert calls it the Octopus Movement. He has also been called, by people who love him and by people who feared him, Dr. Octopus.This is not a conversation about an animal. It is a conversation about the skeleton we build inside our own skulls without ever being asked if we wanted one — the linear chain of cause, sequence, and conclusion that we mistake for reality itself, and what happens to a mind that never fully accepted the architecture.George Monty sits down with Perry to take the load-bearing wall out of thinking. What's left when a thought doesn't have to lead anywhere? What is a connection that happens without thinking — the thing Perry calls nonlinear thinking, the space between thoughts, one awareness distributed across many arms instead of one command issued from a single head? Is that dangerous, or is the real danger the tidy hallway of linear cognition we've all agreed to walk down single-file?Threaded through: growing up gifted and unlicensed for a school system built for hallways, not oceans. The unwritten social architecture that autistic minds are handed blueprints for but never taught to read. Why "it's not working" might be the most linear sentence in the language. Love without thought. Focus as a fault line, not a spotlight. And the moment Perry names the thing he's building — not an organization, not a brand, an uncaged way of connecting minds — the Octopus Movement.This episode is TrueLife's own structure put under the same pressure it studies: no single spine holding the conversation up.

In “What Life Are You Building?”, Pastor Chrissy Cole teaches from 1 Timothy 6 about building a life that reflects Christ in public and in private. Paul's instructions challenge the church to reject false teaching, pursue contentment, fight the good fight of faith, guard the gospel, and place its hope in God rather than the uncertainty of wealth.Through four searching contrasts, this sermon asks whether we are building lives of comfort or discomfort, earthly wealth or eternal worship, self-indulgence or servanthood, and personal gain or generosity. Chrissy explains how correction produces maturity, why biblical knowledge should lead to humility and transformation, and how faithful generosity can draw others toward Jesus and bring glory to God.

We live in a world searching everywhere for the answer to one of life's most important questions: Who am I? We look to feelings, relationships, careers, culture, and the opinions of others to define us. But Scripture declares that we are complete in Him. In this message, Pastor DaVon reveals why you don't have to look outside of Christ to discover who you are. If you've ever struggled with identity, purpose, or where you fit, this message will help you see yourself through a different lens. Listen and discover what it really means to be complete in Him.

People are searching everywhere to answer one of life's most important questions: Who am I? But you cannot understand who you are without understanding where you come from. Your identity and your origin are connected. In this message, Pastor DaVon reveals why Jesus said, “You must be born again.” When you are born again, you don't just receive a new destination; you receive a new identity.

We live in the loudest era in human history. From the moment we wake up to the moment we go to sleep, our minds are bombarded with external noise, opinions, and endless distractions. But beneath all that chaos, there is a quiet, inner voice trying to direct us toward the 'good life'—our true, authentic path. In this episode, we are going to explore how the great mystics of the ages discovered profound wisdom not by seeking answers in the loud world, but by cultivating deep stillness, and how we can learn to finally hear that still, small voice within ourselves.

Mark is joined by Chris Smith, author of My Fatal First Date: A True Life Story of Survival, Tragedy, Inspiration, Triumph, and Faith, to discuss his remarkable journey of recovery after surviving a gunshot wound to the head five years ago. Chris recounts the tragic events of that night, his 0% predicted chance of recovery, and the spiritual experience that sustained him through an induced coma. He details his ongoing physical progress, his return to playing music with his band No Exit Wound, and his advocacy work for innovative medical technologies like WashU's IpsiHand and mesenchymal stem cell therapies. Additionally, Chris shares updates on upcoming documentary and feature film projects about his life and offers words of faith and resilience.

We live in a culture where people look to feelings, experiences, relationships, careers, social media, and other people's opinions to answer one fundamental question: Who am I? In this message, Pastor DaVon shares why you don't have to invent your identity; you receive it in Christ. You will never fully understand who you are until you understand who you are in Him.

In this message, Pastor DaVon explores what God's Word teaches us about navigating unanswered questions, disappointment, and uncertainty, while learning to trust God even when we don't have every answer.

Have you ever felt pulled in ten different directions, worn out, running on empty, and completely depleted? We call it being “stretched thin.” The Bible calls it lack. In this powerful message, Pastor DaVon reveals what it means to declare, “The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not lack.” Discover how God's presence, provision, and guidance sustain you even when life demands more than you feel you have left. You may feel stretched, but with the Lord as your Shepherd, you are never without.

Pastor David Hwang shared from Romans 1:18-25 about how and why we must combat the idolatry of living for the things of this world. 

Why does God's Word transform some people while others seem to stay the same? Why do some believers walk in God's promises while others struggle to see results? And why do so many people start strong but never finish well? Jesus answered all of these questions in one powerful parable. In this message, Pastor DaVon unpacks the Parable of the Sower and reveals the hidden reasons the Word produces fruit in some lives but not in others. If you've ever wondered why the Word doesn't seem to be “working,” this message will help you identify what's holding it back and how to become the kind of person who produces a harvest that lasts.

Remember God loves you so much he sent his Son Jesus Christ to take the punishment for your sins. You are of great value. Jesus loves you and He is just a prayer away! This episode includes AI-generated content.

In this episode we discuss the true life case of Bollywood actress Jiah Khan who died of apparent suicide in 2013 - but was there more to the story? 

Hello to you listening in Lanús, Argentina! Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with 60 Seconds for Story Prompt Friday and your host, Diane Wyzga. In my mind's eye I see that child on the Jersey Shore  arms spread wide clasping the inflated beach ball to her chest, fingers stretched and gripping, eyes barely peeking over the top. Along comes mom with a triple-decker ice cream cone - 3 scoops - all chocolate. The child wants both: beach ball and ice cream; but can hold only one. Now what? After tears, frustration, stomping around something or someone wins out. Who do you recognize here? Because no matter how old we become some things never change: we want both but have to choose one. The choices we make can become our greatest adventures if we're bold. When we let go of what we're desperately clinging to we might very well end up with the biggest prize of all: the one true life that is meant for us. Story Prompt: Find a memory moment when you were presented with a choice, maybe like the beach ball and ice cream cone. You wanted both; but could have only one. Which did you choose and how come? Write that story and share it out loud!  You're always welcome: "Come for the stories - Stay for the magic!" Speaking of magic, I hope you'll subscribe, share a 5-star rating and nice review on your social media or podcast channel of choice, bring your friends and rellies, and join us!
