Podcasts about valleys

Life is full of mountains and valleys. One day we’re standing on the mountaintop, taking in the view and thanking God for how good life feels. The next, we’re walking through a valley we never saw coming, wondering how we got here and how we’ll ever make it through. That’s life. No one gets a permanent address on the mountaintop, and no one stays in the valley forever. We all experience seasons of joy and seasons of sorrow, seasons of abundance and seasons of struggle. There are moments when we feel strong, confident, and full of faith, and there are moments when we’re tired, discouraged, and simply trying to take the next step. The mountains and the valleys are both part of the journey. Does this mean we hate the valleys and only live for the mountaintops? If so, we’re wasting much of our lives. It’s like the person who chooses misery all week long and only lives for the weekend. Or the person who is continually chasing greener grass, only to get there and find it’s always greener somewhere else. They’re waiting for life to begin when life has been happening all along. Sometimes I wonder if we’re guilty of doing the same thing spiritually. We endure the valleys and merely survive them while we wait for God to get us back to the mountain. We decide the mountaintop is where God is blessing us and the valley is where he’s forgotten us. We assume one is good and one is bad. But what if we’re wrong? What if God never intended for us to love one and despise the other? What if he designed both? God is in control of all things, so why does he allow these low valleys in life? Why doesn’t he take us to the mountaintop experiences and let us stay there? Why not total bliss all the time? Why can’t everything just be good and stay good? My husband and I have often joked over the years of raising three kids that when the rare moment comes along when all three are doing great at the same time—with no problems—we hold our breath. Experience has taught us it doesn’t last long. It’s our mountaintop. It’s bliss. It’s rare. We know we’re here, but we also know we probably don’t get to stay here. Before long, back down into the valley we’ll go with at least one of them. Have you ever noticed that’s the way life seems to work? We just can’t keep things at their very best for very long. The job is good, then the job is hard. The marriage is happy, then the marriage is struggling. Our bodies are healthy, then suddenly they aren’t. The bank account is full, then an unexpected expense arrives. We finally catch our breath, and then life takes it away again. The mountains are beautiful, but they’re temporary. The valleys are difficult, but they’re temporary too. And that’s not a flaw in God’s design. It’s part of it. If mountaintops became permanent, we would begin to worship the view instead of the God who brought us there. If valleys never came, we would never learn surrender and trust. The mountain gives us perspective, but the valley gives us depth. God has never promised us a life of uninterrupted mountaintops. What he has promised is something far better—His uninterrupted presence. He’s God on the mountain, and he’s God in the valley. He isn’t waiting for you at the top. He’s walking with you wherever you are. And perhaps that’s the invitation—not to spend our lives trying to escape the valleys or cling to the mountains, but to learn to look for God in both. 1 Kings 20:28, “The LORD says, ‘Because the Arameans think the LORD is a god of the hills and not a god of the valleys, I will deliver this vast army into your hands, and you will know that I am the LORD.” If you just pluck this one scripture out, it won’t make sense. So, let’s study the context and see what God is telling us. Israel are God’s people who seek him and trust him. They have enemies constantly trying to defeat them. One of those enemies is the kingdom of Aram who’s King is Ben-Hadad. The Arameans greatly outnumbered the Israelites, yet the Israelites had just defeated them in battle. As the Aramenas were trying to understand their battle and how they could have lost to an army so beneath them, they came to the conclusion it was because of the Israelites’ God. Verse 23, they said “Their gods are gods of the mountains. That is why they were too strong for us. But if we fight them in the valleys, surely we will be stronger than them.” With that in mind, the Arameans planned their next attack on God’s people in a valley. A valley, a low spot, where the Israelites’ mountaintop God would have no reign and no power. They didn’t doubt God’s existence, they doubted his authority over both the mountain and the valley. BUT THEY WERE WRONG! Our LORD isn’t just a mountaintop God. He’s not limited by good experiences and positive outcomes. He’s not just in the highs – he’s in the lows. His jurisdiction is not limited by location or circumstance. And this is why the LORD said in verse 28, “Because the Arameans think the LORD is a god of the hills and not a god of the valleys, I will deliver this vast army into your hands, and you will know that I am the LORD.” Essentially God is saying, “You’ve seen me work on the mountain, NOW WATCH ME WORK IN THE LOW VALLEYS TOO!” This is a lesson not only for the enemy, but for God’s people. “Stop thinking I will only give you victory up here, I can work in the lows too!” This was more than God winning a battle, this was God revealing himself. What? You think God has boundaries? You think there’s somewhere he doesn’t rule? Somewhere out of his reach? Somewhere his power isn’t effective? Something too hard or too big and beyond his dominion? You think there’s a place God can’t give victory. GIRL, JUST WATCH HIM. Today, we often live exactly as the Aramean’s who thought God was only the God of the mountain. We believe: God is with me when my marriage is good! God is with me when my body is healthy! God is with me when the money is there! God is with me when all the kids are doing well! God is with me when my prayers are answered! Yes, he’s with me … I can see him … look at all this goodness in my life! I’m on the mountaintop! But life doesn’t stay there, and soon we’re in a low valley and we begin asking: Where is God? Why isn’t he helping me? Has he left me? Did I do something wrong? Is he punishing me with this deep dark valley of hardship and struggle? And really what we’re wondering is if God stayed on the mountain and he’s not with us in the valley. But I want to give you one memorable fact that will stay with you forever. NOTHING GROWS ON THE MOUNTAINTOP. Have you ever climbed a really tall mountain – I’m talking a legit mountain. Have you noticed the higher you go, the thinner the air gets. And as you continue the climb, it just becomes rocky. No trees. No fruit. No grass. No flowers. The view is remarkable and it feels great to stand on top of the mountain, but NOTHING GROWS UP THERE. That, my friends, is life. You don’t grow in your moutaintop moments. When everything is so perfectly good, you’re not growing. And that’s why God doesn’t leave you up there. He lovingly brings you back down to the valley because in the valley is where YOU GROW! Trees grow in the valley. Fruit is produced in the valley. Flowers are in abundance in the valley. It’s the low places where we grow. I find it interesting that God could have simply prevented the second battle altogether. Instead, He allowed Israel to go right back into another fight. Why? Because there was something about Himself He wanted revealed that could only be revealed in the valley. God isn’t better on the mountain. He’s simply different there. The mountain may reveal His majesty, but the valley reveals His faithfulness. What God is showing us is regardless of the place we are in life, regardless of the highs and lows, he is the LORD over every place. Just as the mountain doesn’t make him God, neither do the valleys of life diminish him. He is just as present, just as powerful, and just as soverign in the lowest and hardest of valleys in your life as he is on the highest and most victorious mountain. I have a beautiful friend currently battling a relentless and ugly cancer. This cancer has dragged her through one heck of a dark valley. But here in this valley, she has discovered God’s presence unlike ever before. She has learned He is her only hope. She has learned peace that doesn’t make sense. She has learned full surrender and unwavering faith. That’s what valleys do to us, and I have to believe that’s one of the reasons God allows them. He reveals Himself in such personal and powerful ways. Perhaps her mountaintop moments will come and she will stand whole, healthy, and healed with a long, beautiful life ahead of her. Oh, how I pray she experiences that. But here’s what I know—she won’t grow up there. She’s growing down here. And maybe that’s why God doesn’t allow us to permanently live on the mountaintops. We would enjoy him there, but we wouldn’t NEED him there. We would celebrate him there, but we wouldn’t CLING to him there. It is in the valley where we discover he really is enough. It’s in the valley where we learn he wasn’t kidding when he said he would never leave us or forsake us. It’s in the valley where we find his strength made perfect in our weakness. It’s in the valley where we discover his peace isn’t dependent on our circumstances and his goodness isn’t diminished by our suffering. Mountaintops are where we often celebrate God. Valleys are where we come to know him. So perhaps we’ve had it wrong all along. Perhaps the goal isn’t to spend our lives desperately trying to escape the valleys and cling to the mountains. Perhaps the goal is to stop asking, “How do I get out of here?” long enough to ask, “Lord, what are You revealing here?” Because He’s still the LORD here. The valley has never been outside of his jurisdiction. It has never been beyond his reach. It has never been beneath his attention. And just as He told the Arameans thousands of years ago, I believe he is still saying to his people today, “You think you’ve seen me work before? Just watch me work here too.” So, if you find yourself standing on a mountaintop today, breathe it in. Thank him for the view. Celebrate the joy. Receive it as a gift. And if you find yourself in a valley today, don’t despise it. Don’t assume you’ve been abandoned there. Don’t waste this season merely trying to survive it. Look for him there. Because he isn’t just waiting for you on the next mountaintop. He’s already standing beside you in the valley. He is the LORD of both. Don’t spend your life trying to escape the valleys or trying to cling to the mountains, but learn to look for God in both.

Calvin Wisen | Mark 9

God has lessons for us to learn while we are in the valley. 

Hard places are no stranger to any of us. We all walk through moments that feel suffocating, where disappointment, pain, or pressure make freedom seem out of reach. The temptation is to shut down, focus on what's missing, or start believing nothing will ever change.But what if the breakthrough starts with worship? What if praise comes before freedom? Just like Paul and Silas, Job, and David, we can be honest with God and also sing when we absolutely don't feel like it. And often these raw moments are where change begins.Not just for you, but for your family and community.Because freedom isn't just personal. It's contagious. And as you find your midnight song, the chains binding you and those around you can begin to break. Your story of apin can become someone else's hope.Scriptures ReferencedJob 1:20-22; Psalm 30:5 34:1, 119:105; Isaiah 61:1; Acts 16:25-34; Galatians 5:1Key InsightsWorshipping in the middle of pain creates space for real breakthrough.The most powerful prisons aren't the ones around us. They're the ones within us.God is looking for people who will trust Him enough to worship before the breakthrough.Jesus didn't just come to forgive sinners. He came to free prisoners.Personal breakthrough has the potential to become corporate breakthrough.Your freedom becomes someone else's theology.Key Sections00:00:00 - Welcome and AnnouncementsAs we enter August, we will be changing our Sunday gathering times to 9:00 and 10:30 AM and our midweek gathering will shift to Wednesdays at 6:00 PM.00:02:55 - Valleys of Tears and Spring of HopeThe name "Springhouse" is rooted in Psalm 84— "As they pass through the Valley of Baka (tears), they make it a place of springs...."00:04:34 - Finding Songs in the NightIn hard times, we should remember Paul and Silas in Acts 16. They found worship at midnight. Pain can help us trust God more and show strong hope for those who come after us.00:10:07 - Anchored Trust Outshines CircumstanceMidnight Worship is not about knowing all the answers. It is about having strong trust that God is there and good, even when situations or what others think make us doubt.00:12:06 - Freedom Breaks Chains for AllWhen we worship in our prisons, it creates changes that can spread to others. As we're transformed, it affects our families and communities, too.00:17:03 - Your Breakthrough Becomes LegacyNo matter if you feel free or still trapped, choosing to worship through the tough times creates a legacy of hope and freedom for your kids and future generations.00:23:38 - Redeemed for a PurposeGod's greatest miracle isn't just breaking chains but redeeming lives. Sometimes He leaves us in hard places for the sake of someone else's salvation, showing that personal freedom is designed to multiply into community restoration.https://springhouse.captivate.fm/episode/midnight-songsSubscribe & Follow the PodcastDownload our appOur WebsiteOnline Tithes & OfferingsJoin our LivestreamGathering TimesSundays, 9:00 AMSundays, 11:00 AMWednesdays, 6:00 PMContact InfoSpringhouse Church14119 Old Nashville HighwaySmyrna TN 37167615-459-3421CCLI License 2070006

1 Kings 19:1-15

1 Kings 19:1-15

Guided Question How would you evaluate your spiritual progress today — are you cultivating a deeper desire for God's presence, drawing strength from Him in difficult seasons, and growing in a life marked by trust and obedience? Summary This episode explores Psalm 84 and what Dr. Robert Lewis calls the "Signs of a Pilgrim's Progress." He reminds us that life's highest calling is to know God, yet the distractions and demands of everyday life often cause us to lose sight of that purpose. Using Psalm 84, Dr. Lewis identifies three marks of genuine spiritual growth. First is a yearning heart—a deep desire for God's presence that produces contentment and praise. Second is increasing strength, which comes through continual communion with God and enables believers to pass through life's "Valleys of Baca" without becoming trapped in spiritual dryness. Third is a good life, marked by trust, obedience, and a growing preference for God's presence over the world's rewards. The psalm concludes with a call to spiritual renewal: confess spiritual disorientation, recommit to pursuing God, bring your burdens and dry places to Him, and trust His promise that He withholds no good thing from those who walk uprightly. The movement is clear: A heart that longs for God. A life strengthened by God. A life satisfied in God. Key Takeaways The Yearning Heart (Psalm 84:1–4) A growing believer desires God's presence above all else. Religious activity cannot replace genuine devotion. Contentment and praise flow naturally from enjoying God. Increasing Strength (Psalm 84:5–7) Strength comes through continual communion with God. "Highways to Zion" are built through prayer, Scripture, repentance, and obedience. God can transform life's dry valleys into places of blessing. Believers go "from strength to strength" as they draw near to Him. The Good Life (Psalm 84:10–12) God's presence is better than worldly success or comfort. Trust and obedience lead to lasting satisfaction. No good thing is withheld from those who walk uprightly. Applications Confess spiritual disorientation. Recommit to pursuing God's presence. Bring your "Valley of Baca" to Him. Rest in God's promises and faithfulness. Verse Summary 2 – A heart that longs for God 5–7 – Strength through God's presence 10 – God's presence is better 12 – Blessed is the one who trusts Him Scripture References Psalm 84 — The signs of spiritual progress and delighting in God's presence Revelation 2:1–5 — Returning to your first love Psalm 51:16–17 — God desires a broken and contrite heart Mark 7:6–7 — Worship that is merely external Jeremiah 9:23–24 — Boasting in knowing God Matthew 10:29–31 — God's care for those who belong to Him Recorded 5.9.82

Psalm 23 - TRUST IN GODThe Psalms are like a songbook and prayerbook for real life.Instead of pretending everything is fine, they help us bring our honest emotions to God. At the same time, they gently reshape how we see things, reminding us of who God really is—faithful, in control, full of mercy, and always worthy of our trust and praise.In the final talk of this series, Rachel Clark looks at Psalm 23 to see what it means to truly trust God in our daily lives.

You've probably read Psalm 23 dozens of times, just like I have. You've heard it quoted, recited, preached, and maybe even turned to it during some of life's most difficult seasons. But did you know that six familiar verses reveal seventeen powerful insights about God's character, His promises, and what it means for us to walk with Him through life's high mountains and low valleys? In this episode, Cynthia takes a fresh look at one of the Bible's most beloved passages and uncovers a remarkable progression that may help you see Psalm 23—and your own faith journey—in a completely new light.

Gil West, CEO of Hertz, joined Grayson Brulte on The Road to Autonomy podcast to discuss the launch of Oro Mobility and how a century of fleet operations is helping robotaxis to scale.A robotaxi parked is a depreciating asset, and the attention goes to the driving while the margin hides everywhere else. Cleaning, charging, maintaining, and positioning the vehicle is the part nobody wants and the part that decides the economics.Oro Mobility was built to own that work. It is an asset-heavy operating company sitting on Hertz infrastructure, 2,700 chargers, more than 11,000 service locations, and a footprint across roughly 160 countries. Oro owns and operates fleets, human-driven and autonomous, and supplies them turnkey to B2B partners including Uber and Nuro in a manner that Gil frames as the connective tissue between the demand aggregators, the technology companies, and the OEMs, the supply layer for the future of mobility.That positioning reshapes how the autonomy economy scales. A robotaxi company no longer has to build depots, charging, and a service network from scratch, something Mr. West says could take decades and billions of dollars to replicate.Over time, Hertz plans to hold robotaxis on its balance sheet as both owner and operator, sweat each asset through the peaks, service it through the valleys, and run the same footprint across rideshare, delivery, and autonomy.Episode Chapters00:00 Hertz's Turnaround1:18 Oro Mobility4:43 Hertz's Infrastructure Advantage13:29 Robotaxi Technicians15:36 Robotaxis and Rideshare are Complementary19:27 Infrastructure Permitting22:26 Peaks and Valleys of Assets Ownership25:47 Inspiration for Oro Mobility28:28 Hertz as a Platform Business30:28 Managing the Turnaround34:21 Defining Success for Oro Mobility35:22 Hertz Over the Next Century37:03 AUTNMY AI--------About The Road to AutonomyThe Road to Autonomy is the leading applied intelligence platform covering the convergence of automation, autonomy, and the Autonomy Economy.™.Through our podcasts, newsletter, and proprietary applied intelligence, we set the narrative for institutional investors, industry executives, and policymakers navigating the convergence of automation, autonomy, and economic growth.Join institutional investors and industry leaders who read This Week in The Autonomy Economy every Sunday.

Valley prayers are the prayers you pray when life doesn't make sense. When God's promises feel distant and your problems feel overwhelming, you choose to keep trusting Him anyway. Valleys don't mean God has left you—they're often where He develops your faith the most.

Through today's message, we discover that God's promises are not canceled or made void by valleys, delays, betrayals, or suffering, but are often fulfilled in the midst of them. Joseph's journey from pet to pit, from pit to palace, from palace to prison, and from prison to prime minister reveals that God remained faithful in every season, using even what was meant for evil to accomplish a greater purpose.

We’re taking an early look at the 2026 college football schedule and doing a public service for the Verballerhood: figuring out which Saturdays deserve to be protected on the family calendar. From Week 0 appetizers to monster November slates, we rank the season week by week, identify the biggest projected matchups, and decide when it is safe to go outside and when it is absolutely not. Along the way, we dig into the weeks that look especially dangerous for teams stuck between emotional rivalry games, cross-country trips, short weeks, and potential letdown spots. Ohio State, Texas, Alabama, Georgia, Notre Dame, Penn State, Oregon, USC, LSU, Ole Miss, BYU, Texas Tech and others all pop up as we sort through the best weekends, the sneaky ones, and the obvious trap-ortunities. Plus, we discuss shared calendars, zhoug sauce, Trappy Valley, the revered Ball-Sac Game, how much of November should be blocked off, and several increasingly questionable strategies for preserving couch time during the best stretch of the season.

Bill Richardson was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and enlisted in the Army in 1945.  He deployed to Korea when war broke out in 1950 and fought northward up the length of the Korean peninsula as part of the Army's 1st Cavalry Division.  On November 5th, 1950, Richardson was captured by the Chinese during the Battle of Unsan.  He spent roughly the next three years enduring brutal captivity.  So brutal 38% of American prisoners died.  Somehow Richardson survived with his spirit unbroken.  After being freed and returning to the United States, he served the rest of his 40 years in Army service.  He tells the story in “Valleys of Death.”

Dr. Brooke, a doctor of occupational therapy and neuroscience-based sensory and emotional regulation expert, explains why being “regulated” doesn't mean calm all the time. Instead, it means having the awareness and tools to move through stress, recover more efficiently, and reduce the constant peaks and crashes so many parents experience. They talk through why nervous system regulation has become such a buzzword online, how social media often oversimplifies healing, and why understanding your own sensory profile, triggers, and patterns matters more than quick-fix hacks. HeHe and Dr. Brooke also discuss postpartum overwhelm, identity shifts after baby, communication with partners, shame-free ways to respond to emotional meltdowns, and how both parents can experience dysregulation during the transition to parenthood.

She nearly died. Gastroparesis. Candida. Parasites. Colitis. Doctors offered feeding tubes and medications with no end in sight.  Bethany Cameron said no. Instead, she walked into her kitchen and started healing herself one recipe at a time. Today, over 2 million women follow her @lilsipper platform for gut health wisdom their doctors never gave them. She's a cookbook author, host of the Digest This podcast, and the creator of Bethany's Pantry, a clean supplement line born out of her own desperation when she couldn't find a single protein powder that didn't make her sicker.  In this episode, Emily and Bethany explore what it means to steward your health as an act of faith. They unpack her near-death experience with gut dysfunction, the moment she chose to stop outsourcing her healing, and how she built a platform helping millions reclaim their bodies.  Whether you're in a season of healing or a season of building, this conversation is your invitation to trust that the broken places are where God does His deepest work.  What You'll Learn: Why “clean eating” isn't always clean What the food and supplement industries don't want you to know The mindset shifts required to turn desperation into empowerment and healing How vulnerability can become your superpower when building a personal brand Why taking ownership of your wellness can transform not just your body but your life and calling Timestamps: (03:55) - Bethany's Near-Death Health Crisis (06:45) - Saying No to Medicine, Yes to Healing (08:31) - The Baby-Food Diet That Saved Her (09:53) - Rebuilding Strength and Reintroducing Food Without Fear (14:29) - Turning Pain into a 2M+ Community (19:48) - “Healthy Food” Lies They Don't Tell You (23:32) - Creating Her Own Protein Powder That Actually Works (25:50) - How Vulnerability Can Be Your Greatest Marketing Tool (27:49) - How Bethany's Pantry Empowers Women to Take Ownership of Their Wellness (29:30) - Daily Eating, Protein, and Gut-Friendly Choices (34:22) - When Less Is More: Simplicity and Real Flavor in Every Meal (36:15) - Bethany's Protein Bread Recipe (38:34) - Eating with Your Cycle (43:16) - Traveling and Staying Healthy Without Compromise (45:31) - Trauma, Abuse & Spiritual Healing (56:38) - Faith as the Anchor Through Life's Valleys (01:07:22) - Healing Is Possible When You Start With Your Mind Connect with Bethany: Bethany's Pantry| https://www.bethanyspantry.com/ Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/lilsipper/ TikTok | https://www.tiktok.com/@lilsipper_official  YouTube | https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCIvGN6PeCYFayAnPuyOzrPQ  Digest This Podcast | https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/digest-this/id1637478937  More from Emily & FORDIVINE: Website |  https://meetemilyford.com   Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/itsemily         Facebook | https://www.facebook.com/itsemilymethod    YouTube | https://www.youtube.com/c/ITSEMILYFORD  Called & Crowned Podcast | https://www.instagram.com/calledandcrowned/  FORDIVINE | https://www.fordivine.com/
