Podcasts about undivided heart

Send us a text! (add your email to get a response)Do we always have to choose between caring for ourselves vs. caring for others? Nope! Dr. Jordan Quaglia, associate professor at Naropa University, introduces us to "We-Care" – a revolutionary approach to caring that blends self-care and caring for others into an integrated practice where they mutually reinforce each other.Drawing from over a decade of research in mindfulness, compassion, and boundaries, Dr. Quaglia explains how self-care has evolved from a medical term to today's ubiquitous wellness practice, but suggests we're now ready for something more interconnected. The conversation delves into "care blind spots" – patterns in how we approach care that remain invisible to us. Some people habitually prioritize others at their own expense, while others may emphasize self-care to the point of undermining their social connections. When discussing boundaries, Dr.  Quaglia challenges conventional wisdom. Rather than seeing boundaries merely as expressions of self-care, he reframes them as actions that modify social situations to better align with our needs, values, and goals – while remaining awake to how our boundaries affect others. Healthy boundaries, when rooted in We-Care, balance both protection and connection.At the end of the conversation, Dr. Quaglia leads us through a "reverse self-compassion" practice that embodies We-Care principles, showing us what Dr. Qualia calls an "undivided heart" – the capacity to hold both self-care and care for others simultaneously.***If you have a loved one with mental illness and struggle to set boundaries, take care of yourself AND them at the same time, book a call with Dr. Kibby to learn how the KulaMind program can help. Resources:Check out Dr. Quaglia's new book hot off the presses: "From Self-Care to WeCare: The New Science of Mindful Boundaries and Caring from an Undivided Heart"Dr. Quaglia's IG @mindfulboundariesSupport the showIf you have a loved one with mental or emotional problems, join KulaMind, our community and support platform.

"An Undivided Heart" - Giving pt.1 by Heritage Bible Church

For 27 March 2025, Thursday of the 3rd week of Lent, based on Luke 11:14-23

Suzie Hawkins reflects on Matthew 6:19-24. You can subscribe to The Contemplatio email here: bit.ly/TheContemplatio

“The reason spiritual awakening is so incredibly rare on this planet isn't that nobody wants to awaken. It's that those of us who want to awaken also want something else that's in conflict with awakening. We want security. We want to stay in control. We want to keep our self-image intact. As long as this division is in operation within us, we will not be a space within which awakening can truly occur and take root. This is why it's so important to resolve this inner conflict and unlock the transformative power of an undivided heart.” —Craig HamiltonIn “The Undivided Heart: Releasing Our Resistance to Awakening,” Craig explores one of the more complex obstacles on the spiritual path—our unconscious resistance to waking up.There's a part of us that longs to awaken, and another part that's afraid of what it might require. While spiritual awakening offers a life of freedom, joy, and clarity, it also calls for a radical openness. This level of vulnerability can feel overwhelming, even unsafe, causing us to resist the very transformation we deeply desire.This inner conflict is what keeps us stuck. In this episode, Craig explores why this happens and how we can resolve this struggle and unlock the miraculous power of an undivided heart.If you're interested in exploring more of Craig's approach to meditation, you're invited to tune in to a 90-minute online workshop Craig will be hosting called Meditation 2.0 – The Miracle of Direct Awakening.

SHOW NOTES:   In Podcast Episode 303, “Act in Fear of the Lord, with Faithfulness and an Undivided Heart,” Kim discusses King Jehoshaphat's instructions to the judges who would deal with matters of faith and how those same instructions can challenge each of us. We should also be challenged by a king's commitment to seeking God and encouraging the people to do the same. How would the world be changed if we had leaders wholly committed to the Lord?   Our focal passage for this episode is 2 Chronicles 19:1-11 with 4 and 9 as the focal verses:   4 Jehoshaphat lived in Jerusalem, but he went out among the people, traveling from Beersheba to the hill country of Ephraim, encouraging the people to return to the Lord, the God of their ancestors.   These were his instructions to them: “You must always act in the fear of the Lord, with faithfulness and an undivided heart.     WEEKLY ENGAGEMENT FEATURE:   Prayerfully rate yourself in these three areas: (1) Acting in the fear of the Lord; (2) Faithfulness; (3) Undivided Heart.   Additional Resources and Scriptures:   Fear of the Lord is the foundation of true knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and discipline. (Proverbs 1:7) 24 But be sure to fear the Lord and faithfully serve him. Think of all the wonderful things he has done for you. (1 Samuel 12:24) If you look for me wholeheartedly, you will find me. (Jeremiah 29:13) 11 Teach me your ways, O Lord, that I may live according to your truth! Grant me purity of heart, so that I may honor you. 12 With all my heart I will praise you, O Lord my God. I will give glory to your name forever, (Ps. 86:11-12) EMAIL — encouragingothersinlovingjesus@gmail.com TWITTER - https://twitter.com/EOinLovingJesus INSTAGRAM -  https://www.instagram.com/encouragingothersinlovingjesus/ “Encouraging Others in Loving Jesus” YouTube Channel: Check it out at https://www.youtube.com/@EncouragingOthersInLovingJesus     I WANT TO BEGIN A PERSONAL RELATIONSHIP WITH JESUS CHRIST.   RESOURCES USED FOR BOOK OF 1 & 2 Kings PODCASTS: “The Wiersbe Bible Commentary: The Complete Old Testament OT in One Volume” “Christ-Centered Exposition: Exalting Jesus in 1 & 2 Kings” by Tony Merida “The Tony Evans Bible Commentary: Advancing God's Kingdom Agenda” “Life Application Study Bible” “The Swindoll Study Bible: NLT” by Charles R.

In the greatest message Jesus ever shared, He invited us to experience the goodness of His life here and now, not in some distant time and place. It's a life filled with the more we were created for today. Join us this Fall as we discover the more that Jesus has in store for each of us who embrace His message from his Sermon on the Mount.

Have you ever battled with self-sabotaging thoughts, behaviours or habits? Have you ever wanted to really pursue God, but find it hard to sustain that? Have you ever felt like part of you wants God, and another part of you has a completely different agenda? Scripture talks to this. Psalm 86:11 says, “Give to me an undivided heart that I may fear Your name.” We often talk about a hard or soft heart, and a broken heart, but the divided heart is another dimension. In this message Tim explains what a divided heart is and how it works, and how to walk the journey towards “wholeheartedness”.

Does your situation need your solution, or is it a call to recall? Welcome to the Daily Devo. I am Vince Miller. This week, we are in 1 Samuel 12. I've titled this chapter "God is Faithful When We Are Not." Today, we turn to the key verse of this chapter, which happens to be verse 24. It reads. Only fear the Lord and serve him faithfully with all your heart. For consider what great things he has done for you. — 1 Samuel 12:24 We will explore this statement in more depth as we read to the end of the chapter, but for now, I want you to notice the challenge Samuel presents to the people of Israel. It's a call to recall. Samuel is not a stupid man. He knows that the people are prone to drifting from God. I have done a lot of boating in my life, and I know if your anchor is not set and secure, then you are going to be susceptible to drift. When winds and currents change, they are going to tug at that boat and pull and drag your anchor. At first, the movement is subtle and unnoticeable. You'll think you're still in the same spot, anchored firmly. But bit by bit, the anchor begins to loosen, and the boat begins to drift. If you survey the history of the people of Israel, this is how they acted in their relationship with God. They have defining moments that anchor them to God and his faithfulness. But over time, the currents of life and fear of man result in drift and this pattern repeats again and again. As Samuel nears the end of his life and as the time of the judges gives way to the time of the kings, he knows that the people are going to be susceptible to spiritual drift. He also knows that legislation and leadership are not the solution to this drift. The problem is more personal and specific. It's an issue of the heart. These problems keep arising because the heart of the nation is not anchored to God. They want other things, like a king, instead of God, who was, is, and always will be their King. And his desire is for them to anchor into Him again. As I think about this today, I am compelled to evaluate myself. Am I drifting from God in any way? Is there a situation subtly and unnoticeably pulling on my anchor? And, of course, I did think of one. One situation that has troubled me has been pulling on my anchor of trust. It has caused a subtle drift. But the Good News of this text is that Samuel presents me with the solution for my spiritual drift. Let me read it again with a little emphasis: Only fear the Lord and serve him faithfully with all your heart. For consider what great things he has done for you. First, I must acknowledge the winds and currents of my fears and return to fearing the Lord. Second, I need to give my whole attention to serving God rather than serving myself and my ideas. Third, I need to realize that the currents of the situation may be trying to divide my heart, but God wants my undivided heart in every wind and against every wave. But it's the closing of this text that really captures me. It's a simple life hack for spiritual drift. It's a call to recall. Samuel says, "Consider what great things [the Lord] has done for you." Today, if you are evaluating your life and sense a subtle or significant spiritual drift, heed Samuel's call to recall. Simply recall a few of the great things the Lord has done for you. Write them down or share them with someone else. Doing this will help reset that anchor in fearing and faithfully serving God with all your heart. #FaithfulLiving, #HeartCheck, #GodsFaithfulness Ask This: In what areas of your life are you relying on your solutions instead of seeking God's guidance and faithfulness? How can you practice recalling and sharing the great things God has done for you to strengthen your faith and encourage others? Do This: Heed Samuel's call and recall God's faithfulness. Pray This: Lord, help me to shift my fears and anxieties to a deeper trust in You and to serve You with all my heart. Remind me daily of Your great deeds so my faith remains strong and unwavering. Amen. Play This: Evidence.

At Redeemer Presbyterian Church in Charleston, SC, our senior pastor Rev. Craig Bailey preached another sermon in his mini series titled Around the Table. Looking this week at another Pharisee's table, he encouraged us to ask God to give us an undivided heart.

The Undivided Heart | Set Apart Heart Sermon Series | Week 8 | Elder Godfrey by Every Nation Dorado

“Our hearts should be the source of our expression of our love for God and not the source of what leads us. We can't depend or be led by our feelings.” - @jonathantwl Jonathan shared about having An Undivided Heart and how this is God's ultimate desire for our lives. Oftentimes we find ourselves with a divided heart because we are led by our feelings, and our affections and desires are not wholly toward God, but toward self gratifying goals and aims apart from God alone. By consciously choosing and desiring to walk in the Spirit, God can reorient our lives that our affections towards Him may be whole, we truly desire Him, and our spirit is sensitive to His leading. As we reflect on the sermon, may we prayerfully Invite God to examine the condition of our hearts, especially the areas in our affections and desires that we need to surrender before Him, that He may be our sole pursuit.

This week Fr. Michael talks about scripture readings in Acts and John, and links them together to talk about division and having an undivided heart. He talks about the need for full attention to be given to God, and how it's hard to live this out sometimes.Follow and Contact Us!Follow us on Instagram and FacebookWe're on YouTube!Join our Goodreads GroupFr.

Becoming a People of Defiant Joy

Hard words from Jesus about where our hearts lie as he confronts us with two treasures, two visions, and two masters. While we may think we can follow Jesus part time, he bids us choose—and reveals to us the slavery inherent in pursuing earthly wealth. Join us as we weigh his words and their challenge, and join us next week as Jesus goes on to address the anxiety that his commands may produce in us.

Mindfulness and compassion, when brought to our wounded heart, have the capacity to rewire our brain and free our spirit. This talk explores the ways we get trapped in the trance of feeling unworthy and unlovable, and how, with a wise attention, we can profoundly transform our relationship with our inner life. NOTE: this talk was given at the 5-day "The Undivided Heart" residential retreat on 2024-04-09.

Ps. 86: 11,12,15v11. Teach me your way, Lord, that I may rely on your faithfulness; give me an undivided heart, that I may fear your name.v12 I will praise you, Lord my God, with all my heart; I will glorify your name forever.v15 But you, Lord, are compassionate and gracious God, slow to anger, abounding in love and faithfulness. It should be our desire to seek to have an undivided heart which can help us praise with our whole heart! Grab the scripture cards here >> https://stan.store/mrsangelapitnikoff/p/30-scripture-cardsSupport the show

Love how King David - even in a crisis situation - sees his greatest need as needing to walk closer to God. Want to be a "person after God's own heart" like David? check out the prayer he prays in Ps. 86:11-12

Scripture reading is in John 5

Mark 7:1-23This passage can be broken down into three parts:1. The Need For Transformation 2. The Means We Try and Transform Our Lives3. Jesus' Way of Transformation Quote: “The perceived distance and difficulty of entering fully into the divine world and its life are due entirely to our failure to understand that “the way in” is the way of pervasive inner transformation and to our failure to take the small steps that quietly and certainly lead to it.” - Dallas WillardPoint 1: New Heart -- Psalm 51:5-10Point 2: Word of God > Tradition of MenPoint 3: Undivided Heart-- Matthew 6:19-21

In this talk, Adnan looks at Joshua 24 and the call of God's people to remember his faithfulness, and to entrust their whole hearts to him.

Sermon from February 4, 2024 | For next several months, we are going to enter into what are known as the “Ten Words” or the Ten Commandments. The ancient Law given to the people of God has something for us, in 2024. How might we re-oreint our desires and loves for the sake of God and his kingdom? The first commandment is first for a reason: God requires undivided allegiance. For more information about Mosaic, visit us online at www.MosaicKnox.org

2024.01.24 NCU Chapel Jon Brown An Undivided Heart

Sometimes we wonder why we would worship God, and God graciously invites us in to worship Him and gives us the why.

In this talk, Adnan looks at Joshua 24 and the call of God's people to remember his faithfulness, and to entrust their whole hearts to him.

Why is it that God is after an undivided heart in worship of Himself?

December 10, 2023. Fr. Tyler's homily for the 2nd Sunday of Advent. Enjoy! Gospel MK 1:1-8 The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ the Son of God. As it is written in Isaiah the prophet: Behold, I am sending my messenger ahead of you; he will prepare your way. A voice of one crying out in the desert: “Prepare the way of the Lord, make straight his paths.” John the Baptist appeared in the desert proclaiming a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins. People of the whole Judean countryside and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem were going out to him and were being baptized by him in the Jordan River as they acknowledged their sins. John was clothed in camel's hair, with a leather belt around his waist. He fed on locusts and wild honey. And this is what he proclaimed: “One mightier than I is coming after me. I am not worthy to stoop and loosen the thongs of his sandals. I have baptized you with water; he will baptize you with the Holy Spirit.”

Watch as Elder Jenny Schmidt delivers a word for the advent season.

In this episode, Josh challenges us to integrate your faith where you live, where you work, and where you play . What if your faith was a part of everyday? Faith on Monday, on Tuesday, on Wednesday, on Thursday, on Friday, on Saturday- not just Sunday. How would an everyday faith impact your life from where you live to where you work to where you play?

How do you react to disappointments? Jonah preaches to Nineveh, and the whole city repents. But then, in a twist of the story, Jonah is angry and complains to God.Jonah 4:3-5Now, Lord, take away my life, for it is better for me to die than to live.” But the Lord replied, “Is it right for you to be angry?” Jonah had gone out and sat down at a place east of the city. There he made himself a shelter, sat in its shade and waited to see what would happen to the city.Jonah should have been grateful to see change in the city, but his motives are mixed, and his heart is divided. James 1 says, “A double-minded person is unstable in all they do.” What does Jonah teach us about our hearts?1) Everyone begins their relationship with God for selfish reasons.When we come to God, it is almost always out of self-interest, but God still accepts us! Once we begin to see God, our hearts change from seeing him as useful, to seeing him as beautiful.2) Everyone needs to tend to their heart regularly.The daily disciplines of scripture reading, prayer and confession are meant to help us lead our hearts toward wholeness and devotion to God.3) Everyone needs to experience the grace of God to have an undivided heart.Every rival god in our hearts demands our utter devotion, but leaves us empty-handed. With God, it's the opposite.The grace of God is shorthand for how Jesus gave everything for us, so we could be free to love God with an undivided heart!
