Podcasts about unhindered

The book of Acts ends with a strong phrase: "without hindrance." Despite Paul being chained in prison, the gospel continued to advance unhindered. The story didn't end with the apostles, it continues through us today.We're called to expect difficulty, witness boldly, and hope eternally. The gospel has spread from Jerusalem to the ends of the earth through generations of faithful believers. Now it's our turn. This isn't someone else's responsibility. It's ours. How will you write the next chapter?Acts 1:8 reminds us: "You will be my witnesses...to the ends of the earth." The story of Jesus continues in you, through your prayers, your boldness to share faith, your care for others, and your invitation to experience God's love. What will be said about how God worked in you and through you?

Acts 28:11-31

Woodland Campus | Pastor Steven teaches about what keeps us from a live devoted to prayer.

What if everything you call "yours" isn't actually yours at all? Pastor Rob reveals through Jesus' parable of the talents that the Master entrusts us with resources—money, time, gifts—expecting faithful investment, not fearful hoarding. The Word challenges us to shift from ownership to stewardship, recognizing that comparison kills generosity while Kingdom perspective frees it. Whether you've buried your talents out of fear or comparison, this message offers the freedom to invest boldly for His purposes. Don't miss this transformative call to unhindered generosity—watch now and discover the joy of hearing "Well done, faithful servant!"

What if your wallet could reveal the true condition of your heart? Pastor Rob challenges us to see money as an "MRI for your heart," exposing whether we truly trust God or secretly serve earthly treasures. Drawing from Matthew 6:19-21, he reveals that we belong to a "fiercely generous God" who gave His Son, making unhindered generosity not just possible but essential for followers of Jesus. Don't let fear rob you of the freedom found in Kingdom investing—discover how loosening your grip actually leads to gaining eternal treasure and experiencing God's abundant provision.

What has God been speaking to you in this season? Can you look back and make some connections between different points of contact where the Spirit has been moving in you? As I reflect on a recent encounter with the love of the Father, I find myself making connections to the word God gave me for 2026.

In this message, Noel Heikkinen concludes a 32-week journey through the book of Acts, focusing on the final chapter and the "unhindered" spread of the gospel. He explores Paul's arrival in Rome—following shipwrecks and trials—to show that the mission of Jesus is sustained by quiet faithfulness rather than flashy hype. By examining Paul's bold witness while under house arrest, we are challenged to see ourselves as the continuation of this story in our own communities.Subscribe to AfterWords on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you listen to podcasts.Download a copy of the Exodus JournalVisit us online: rivchurch.comFollow us on InstagramSend us feedback: podcast@rivchurch.comSubscribe to AfterWords on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you listen to podcasts.Visit us online: rivchurch.comFollow us on InstagramSend us feedback: podcast@rivchurch.com

Acts 20-28 with Joshua LewisLife can often feel hindered—stalled dreams, closed doors, and circumstances that seem to hold us back. But the book of Acts tells a surprising story. The apostle Paul faced opposition, imprisonment, false accusations, and years of delay, yet Luke ends the story with one remarkable word: unhindered. In this message, we explore how the gospel cannot be stopped and how a life centered on Christ can remain free even when circumstances feel restrictive.

Revelation 20-22

Overcoming Insecurity in Midlife with Jaemin FrazerIn this episode of The Thoughtful Entrepreneur, host Josh Elledge interviews Jaemin Frazer—Founder of The Insecurity Project, author of Unhindered, and host of the Unhindered Podcast. Jaemin shares why insecurity often peaks in midlife, how early childhood beliefs silently shape adult behavior, and what ambitious professionals can do to break free from self-doubt. His insights offer a practical and compassionate roadmap for anyone ready to confront insecurity and step into a more confident, purposeful version of themselves.How Insecurity Shapes Midlife and How to Overcome ItJaemin explains that insecurity is universal, rooted in beliefs formed before age seven, and often goes unnoticed until midlife when energy diminishes and the “push through it” strategy stops working. In this season of life, many high achievers discover that the same insecurity that once fueled their ambition is now causing anxiety, exhaustion, strained relationships, and a sense of emotional unraveling. He emphasizes that insecurity is not a flaw, but a solvable problem—one that requires awareness, objectivity, and a structured process for dismantling limiting beliefs.He describes insecurity as “rocket fuel”: powerful enough to drive early success, but ultimately toxic if relied on for too long. Through Jaemin's seven-practice framework, individuals learn to deconstruct these beliefs, examine the stories they tell themselves, and replace insecurity-driven motivation with clarity and intrinsic purpose. This transformation allows midlifers to shift from proving themselves to actually becoming themselves—living with more peace, energy, and authenticity.Jaemin also highlights the importance of vulnerability and finding the right support. Not all helpers are equipped to guide someone through insecurity, and he stresses the value of working with a coach or therapist who provides objectivity, structure, and accountability. He invites listeners to access his book Unhindered, his long-running podcast, and his one-on-one coaching programs to continue their journey toward becoming truly “unhindered.”About Jaemin FrazerJaemin Frazer is the Founder of The Insecurity Project, an internationally recognized coach, author, and speaker known for his expertise in helping high performers overcome insecurity.

Give online therapy a try at betterhelp.com/beherenow and get on your way to being your best self.This time on the BHNN Guest Podcast, Gil Fronsdal explores:Seeing the timeless present through photographs Enjoying the preciousness of our limited time here on earth How corporate, capitalist America prefers people who are discontentWhat the Buddha said about the vital importance of contentment How many desires often dissipate on their own if you ride them outThe ways in which desire alienates us from ourselves The embodied quality of contentment and being in touch with ourselvesFreedom in the Buddhist sense: freedom ‘from' rather than freedom ‘to do'Cultivating contentment by valuing it and seeing it as an important part of lifeActivities which encourage contentment versus remaining franticFacing discontentment head-on so that it does not drive us This recording was originally published on Dharmaseed. “Contentment is a falling away of anxiety, restlessness, reaching forward, fear, being fragmented, and disconnected. It is a kind of settling. If we're driven by desires, fears, preoccupations, or fantasies, often our energy, our center of attention, is upwelling in an unhealthy way. As we are contented, we feel the settling down, settling down into the center of gravity.” –Gil Fronsdal About Gil Fronsdal:Gil Fronsdal is the co-teacher for the Insight Meditation Center in Redwood City, California; he has been teaching since 1990.

Join us as Pastor Zack concludes our study of the book of Acts, reflecting on the impactfulness of prayer.

Welcome to the finale of our series in the book of Acts! We hope you were encouraged and are more familiar  with the birth of the church in the New Testament. In this last sermon, Pastor Bryan discussed the seemingly anticlimactic end to Acts but highlighted the word "unhindered." This is a word with a very climactic meaning. The advancement of the gospel has continued "unhindered, unstoppable... but still unfinished!" That's where the church today comes in. We're to continue the mission. Acts 1:8 is still our roadmap for today: Be a witness in your Jerusalem, Judea and Samaria, and end of the earth. -Featuring Bryan Ost

Life in the Spirit means coming freely to Jesus—unhindered by pride, shame, or striving—and helping others do the same.

We hope this message in our series "Acts - Turning The World Upside Down" is impactful and uplifting in your walk with Jesus!If you would like to dive deeper, check out the links below.Listen to the Acts Companion Podcast:https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLPe4iZS-2t-qwfMP9RrwHKpdDwENmO9JKStay in touch with us on Instagram | Facebook | Spotify - True Hope ChurchCheck out our Website:https://www.truehopechurch.org

Give online therapy a try at betterhelp.com/beherenow and get on your way to being your best self.In this episode of the BHNN Guest Podcast, Gil describes:The significance of going for refuge within the Buddhist tradition How taking refuge can radically reshape your life and reorient your heart towards truth and freedomAnalyzing our consciousness and what it is concerned with Taking refuge in the right things (those which can be be depended on for safety, peace, support)Bringing 100% of yourself along to the refuge without holding backWhy some people resist the concept of going for refugeMaking the intentional, willful choice to live a life aligned with truth and awakeningTrusting in the Dharma, surrendering, and knowing that it will always support youThe wise story of a monk who always maintained an attitude of trust and positivity, to his own downfall Taking refuge within ourselves and becoming independent within the Dharma rather than depending on other people The essence of the Dharma: committing to a life that doesn't cause harm Taking refuge in the potential for awakening and freedom that we all haveFinding refuge within the sangha, aka, our spiritual community Offering refuge to others and ensuring that we are a source of peace for the world around us“For me a very important aspect of this whole refuge thing is offering refuge to others, being someone that people can take refuge in, or being in the world in such a way that the world feels safe with you, supported by you, that the world has nothing to fear from you. Not just going for refuge or taking refuge, but offering refuge in return.” – Gil Fronsdal About Gil Fronsdal:Gil Fronsdal is the co-teacher for the Insight Meditation Center in Redwood City, California; he has been teaching since 1990.

Depending on something which can provide a stable peace. Depending on something which is dependable. Depending on something that can protect us, support us, inspire us, and even liberate us.” – Gil Fronsdal See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In that state, there's not much wisdom, not much clarity. This is one of the functions of meditation: to help us quiet the mind, settle it, and show the mind that there is an alternative to being restless and agitated. Teach the mind that the safety that it's looking for is found within.” – Gil Fronsdal See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
