Podcasts about worldly

2 Corinthians 7:10-11 speak about the differences between worldly sorrow and Godly sorrow. Worldly sorrow is regret over matters. Godly sorrow is a product of the Holy Spirit. We become sorrowful over our sin and sinfulness.When Isaiah the prophet saw the Lord high and lifted up his response was to say that he was a man of unclean lips who lived among a sinful people.Jesus is the Light of this world and as we draw closer to Him we will see our sin and sinfulness.1 John 1:9 tells us that if we confess our sin, that He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and all unrighteousness.

As we get things going this week we find out Nate has been flexing his culinary muscles on some ice cream adventures. Naturally, we ask if he's made any with booze. He has not. He continues to be a source of disappointment.Seems like every week there's something new to blame on Gen Z. We've decided to embrace it. It's all Gen Z's fault - and they'll pay for this, one beer at a time.GABF announced some new beer styles for this year's competition and in interesting one-time category for a new hop. On the competition front there's also a new #1 in Africa, a unique and traditional style called umqombothi. Neat. We also found out Hulk Hogan's beer company is making a push to buy Hooter's, and they're apparently bidding against - Hooter's? Whatever happens it will have to get creative because, thanks to the 3-tier system, you can't own a brewery and a retailer. Let's see how this pans out.To wrap things up we chat about the worst beers we've ever tried and the brews ranked as the worst in the world. We've tried a few and can confirm they deserve their spot on the list.Thanks for listening to Beer Guys Radio!

If your whole focus is on making money, it's off-delivering the staggering value that will create the fanatical followers who will pay you money.Of course, serve for the beauty and internal fulfillment of serving. But know that the inevitable by-product of phenomenal service to others [your customers, communities etc.] is material prosperity well-beyond anything you've yet to experience. This way of thinking is so contrarian to the way most businesspeople think [and that's why most businesspeople never join the ranks of the financial and influential elite].The more you connect with a cause that is of helpfulness to other humans, the chains of your previously perceived reality fall away. And you will ascend toward a happiness that knows few bounds. And a peace that requires no luxuries. This is what my latest book The Wealth Money Can't Buy is all about. Real wealth versus fake success. True winning versus spending your life climbing a mountain, only to find out at the end that it was the wrong one.

This means once many people start obtaining the worldly things that they desire they lose focus and become easily distracted and full of pride, selfish, pompous, lack love, and they lose their way. Their good intentions turn into greed and lust! Many people become wicked, evil, and are all about possessions, money, titles, power, authority, recognition, etc. As you increase your soul decreases because you change the course and begin to be full of yourself and you start to show less love for others. Everything is me, me, me! "For what profited a man to gain the world and lose his soul." If you lose your soul, you lose!! This is why so many people are struggling mentally, they've lost their way due to following their unhealed hearts and minds and have allowed themselves to be controlled by the worlds way! People are controlled by greed and lusts of this world! Sadly, many started on their spiritual journey serving God, but chose to turn to darkness, because they believed the world had more to offer. The only thing the world gives you is destruction and damnation if it's what you choose!Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/relationships-and-relatable-life-chronicles--4126439/support.

How Do I Repent?Ezekiel 18:30 " Therefore I will judge you, O house of Israel, all of you according to your ways, says the Lord God. Repent and turn from all your transgressions; otherwise, iniquity will be your ruin.”This first sentence is letting us know that we will be judged based on our own actions. At one time, it was believed that we would be judged based on the actions of our ancestors. This verse corrects this thought. When I looked up this verse on the Enduring Word Commentary, it said, “The error in believing in communal or family salvation or damnation is so serious and dangerous that God unmistakably emphasized the individual's responsibility before God.“It may be true that in my physical being I have inherited tendencies to some forms of evil from my father, but in the fact of my essential relation to God, there are forces available to me more and mightier than all these tendencies. Neither righteousness nor evil is hereditary.” (Morgan)This is important for each of us to understand. We are not bad because our parents were bad. We are not good because our parents are good. We are responsible for our own actions. This is good news. This means we don't have anyone to blame but ourselves.  This also means all the responsibility falls on our own shoulders. I want to take a minute to look at one line in particular in the Enduring Word Commentary. It said, “In the fact of my essential relation to God, there are forces available to me more and mightier than all those tendencies we might have inherited.” In other words, we don't have to do this on our own. Even though we will be judged on our actions, we don't have to have the strength to make the right choices all on our own.Because we are children of God, we can call on Him to give us strength and to help us make the right choices. The second part of the verse above says to repent and turn from all your transgressions. The verse I discussed in yesterday's episode told us to repent and return to the Lord. Today's verse is telling us to repent and turn away from our transgressions. When I was trying to think about what to talk about in this episode it dawned on me that we might not all know how to repent. Repent is one of those words that we all kinda know what it means but we don't necessarily know how to define it or how to do it. Repentance is more than just saying “I'm sorry.” It's a heartfelt turning away from sin and turning toward God. Here's a biblical and practical step-by-step understanding of how one repents:1. Recognize the SinRepentance begins with awareness. We often live unaware of how our choices, attitudes, or habits go against God's will.Ask God for clarity. Sin can be obvious (like lying or cheating) or subtle (like pride, bitterness, or fear that blocks faith). Ask the Holy Spirit to search your heart.Listen with humility. Sometimes God uses other people, Scripture, or conviction during prayer to expose what needs to change.Psalm 139:23-24 “Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my thoughts. See if there is any wicked way in me and lead me in the way everlasting.”Reflection prompt: Where in my life am I resisting God's way? What attitudes, habits, or relationships might be leading me away from Him?2. Feel Godly Sorrow (Not Just Guilt)This isn't about shame. It's about recognizing how our sin hurts our relationship with God and others, and it grieves us deeply—not just because of consequences, but because of love.Worldly sorrow says, “I'm sorry I got caught or hurt someone.”Godly sorrow says, “I've grieved the heart of the One who loves me most. I want to be changed.”2 Corinthians 7:10 “ For godly grief produces a repentance that leads to salvation and brings no regret, but worldly grief produces death.”Reflection prompt: Do I feel sorrow because of what my sin cost, or just because it was exposed?3. Confess the Sin to GodConfession is honest communication with God. It's naming the sin and agreeing with Him about its seriousness, without hiding or blaming.Openly admit your sin to God in prayer. Be specific and honest. No excuses or blaming.“God, I've been dishonest in my work,” or “I've held unforgiveness toward ___."Confession is not groveling—it's returning to a loving Father who already knows and still welcomes you.1 John 1:9 “If we confess our sins, he who is faithful and just will forgive us our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness.”Reflection prompt: What do I need to confess out loud to God today, trusting in His mercy?4. Turn Away from the Sin (Change Direction)This is the literal meaning of repentance: to turn. It means letting go of the old and moving toward a new way of living.Make a conscious decision to change direction.You may need to delete contacts, change your routine, stop certain conversations, or set up boundaries. This part is hard—but repentance without change is just regret.Acts 3:19 “Repent therefore, and turn to God so that your sins may be wiped out,”Reflection prompt: What do I need to let go of today so I can move toward God?5. Turn Toward God (Restore Relationship)Repentance isn't just about stopping sin—it's about renewing intimacy with God. When we turn from sin, we turn to grace, peace, purpose, and healing.Pray, even if you feel unworthy. God is not holding your sin against you—He's welcoming you home.Dive into Scripture, worship, community, and His promises.James 4:8a “ Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you.”Reflection prompt: How is God inviting me to return to Him—not in fear, but in love?6. Bear Fruit That Shows RepentanceThis is the outward evidence of an inward change. You don't earn God's love by being good—but real repentance produces visible fruit.Fruit might look like changed speech, different choices, seeking reconciliation, or serving others with a humble heart.This fruit grows over time—don't rush it. Stay connected to God and He'll transform you.Matthew 3:8 — “Produce fruit in keeping with repentance.”Reflection prompt: What new actions or habits is God inviting me to develop that reflect a changed heart?Summary: True Repentance Involves…Head (Recognizing the wrong)
Heart (Feeling sorrow over it)
Hands & Feet (Turning around and walking in a new direction)Repentance is not about being perfect—it's about being real before God. It's how you return home to His love, over and over again. He's not angry; He's ready to embrace you.Luke 15:20 “But while he was still a long way off, his father saw him and was filled with compassion for him; he ran to his son, threw his arms around him and kissed him.”Dear heavenly Father, I ask you to bless all those listening. Lord, help us to understand repentance more. Move our hearts and show us where we need to repent. Show us where we have sin in our hearts and in our habits. Please help us to recognize sin in our lives and to repent and turn back to you. Please help us to repent and turn away from that sin. Give us the strength to ask you to show us the sin in our lives and the courage to change our habits so that we can walk away from that sin. We love you, Lord, and we ask all of this in accordance with your will and in Jesus's holy name, Amen!Thank you so much for joining me on this journey to walk boldly with Jesus. Today's episode was an example of what I teach in mentoring. Tonight I will go deeper and give more detail into each one of those six steps to repentance. At the end of each mentoring session, I give 2-3 reflection questions to help us stop, talk to the Lord, and really reflect on what we just learned and how it relates to us personally. We look at how we can use what we just learned to make lasting changes in our lives. I invite each one of you to join the mentoring tonight. There is a link below or you can go to the mentoring tab on my website, walkboldlywithjesus.com. I look forward to meeting you here again tomorrow. Remember, Jesus loves you just as you are, and so do I! Have a blessed day!Tuesday: Today's Word from the Lord was received in October 2024 by a member of my Catholic Charismatic Prayer Group. If you have any questions about the prayer group, these words, or how to join us for a meeting, please email CatholicCharismaticPrayerGroup@gmail.com. Today's Word from the Lord is, “Do not be afraid to go forward. I am with you each step of the way. Do not go in the shadows, I keep telling you. Come to me. Come, and I will reveal my light.

Consider the profound teachings of the Lokavipati sutta. Drawing from the wisdom of the Buddha, Margaret reveals how our responses to the eight worldly conditions—gain and loss, status and disgrace, censure and praise, pleasure and pain—shape our experiences of suffering and peace. As she delves into these vicissitudes, she encourages listeners to reflect on their judgments and reactions to life's inevitable ups and downs. This sutta emphasizes the distinction between the uninstructed person and the well-instructed disciple of the Noble Ones, highlighting the importance of mindfulness and awareness in navigating life's challenges. Margaret encourages us to embrace impermanence, reminding us that our thoughts and feelings about gain or loss, praise or censure, and pleasure or pain are often transient and subject to change. Through engaging discourse and insightful reflections, this episode serves as a powerful reminder that equanimity can be cultivated, allowing us to confront life's dualities with grace and understanding. Join Margaret on this journey of contemplation and self-discovery, as she invites you to consider how embracing impermanence can lead to deeper peace and freedom from suffering. Whether you're new to Buddhist teachings or looking to deepen your understanding of equanimity, this episode promises valuable insights and practical wisdom for living a balanced life. Tune in, reflect, and carry these teachings with you throughout your week.

"Looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God." Seventh Article of Faith Belief in the perseverance of saints in grace. Tied to Philippians 1:6: "Being confident of this very thing, that He which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ." Salvation is secure in Jesus' finished work (John 10). "My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand." Eternal security is a gift, not earned. Responsibility to "stick with it" and "hang with it." "Don't give up. Don't lay it down. There ain't anything worth laying the cross of Christ down for." AWOL (Away Without Leave) concept: God never gives leave from service, love, obedience, prayer, etc. "When a man is AWOL, it means away without leave. And I don't know of a time that God ever gave a person leave. Not from His service. Not from His love." Every believer has a responsibility to share Jesus. "When it comes to telling somebody about Jesus, you're just as much required of that as I am." Running the Race with Patience 1 Corinthians 9:24: "Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize? So run, that ye may obtain." Emphasizes running to obtain, not giving up. Run with patience the race "that is set before us." God prepares the race; there's a goal and purpose. "As a people of God, you ain't just running aimlessly. There's a goal. There's always a finish line with God." God sets the course; focus on running your own race. "If God set before you a course, you may say, well, I don't like this course." Galatians 5:7: "Ye did run well; who did hinder you that ye should not obey the truth?" Consider what hinders you from obeying the truth. Obstacles and difficulties are expected. Things to Consider to Help Run the Race Godly Examples "We also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses." Living and dead examples encourage perseverance. Appreciation for those who "pressed through" despite struggles. "Thank God they pressed through. Some of you had something that you was fighting. Some of you have afflictions. Some of you have got problems." Examples of faithfulness in the face of adversity (cancer, heart problems, etc.). Future repentance for not following good examples. "Maybe some of us will have to repent here but when we get there we may have to repent some of them and say you left me an example but I didn't follow it." Lay Aside Every Weight Separate from sin; weights hinder a good race. "Let us lay aside every weight and the sin which doth so easily beset us." Worldly cares can be burdensome. "If you're going to run a good race from God, you better get the world on your shoulders today." Cast cares on God. Discipline is needed to remove "extra pounds." "If you've got extra pounds, it's going to take some discipline for you to get it off." Deal with Sin Sin cripples; address it by repenting and seeking forgiveness. "Sin will cripple you... If he can get us to yield to sin and keep us in a place where we won't deal with sin and take the sin to the Father and repent of it and let Him purge us of that sin, friend, you're going to try to run crippled and it ain't going to work."

Alex and Meg are joined by Candy Tan to discuss this book, which sounds completely insane TBH.

Read OnlineWhen Jesus had washed the disciples' feet, he said to them: “Amen, amen, I say to you, no slave is greater than his master nor any messenger greater than the one who sent him. If you understand this, blessed are you if you do it.” John 13:16–17During this, the Fourth Week of Easter, we return to the Last Supper and will spend a few weeks considering the discourse Jesus gave that Holy Thursday evening to His disciples. The question to ask yourself today is this: “Are you blessed?” Jesus says that you are blessed if you “understand” and “do” what He teaches His disciples. So what did He teach them?Jesus offers this prophetic action by which He took on the role of a slave by washing the disciples' feet. His action was much louder than words, as the saying goes. The disciples were humbled by this act, and Peter, at first, refused it. There is little doubt that this humble act of service, by which Jesus lowered Himself before His disciples, made a strong impression upon them.The worldly view of greatness is much different than the one Jesus taught. Worldly greatness is a process of elevating yourself in the eyes of others, striving to let them know just how good you are. Worldly greatness is often driven by a fear of what others may think of you, and a desire to be honored by all. But Jesus wants to be clear that we will only be great if we serve. We must humble ourselves before others, holding them and their goodness up, honoring them and showing them the deepest love and respect. By washing their feet, Jesus completely abandoned the worldly view of greatness and called His disciples to do the same.Humility is difficult to understand at times. This is why Jesus said, “If you understand this…” He realized that the disciples, as well as all of us, will struggle with understanding the importance of humbling ourselves before others and serving them. But if you do understand humility, you will be “blessed” when you live it. You will not be blessed in the eyes of the world, but you will be truly blessed in the eyes of God. Humility is especially accomplished when we purify our desire for honor and prestige, when we overcome all fear of being mistreated, and when, in place of this desire and fear, we desire abundant blessings upon others, even before ourselves. This love and humility is the only way to this mysterious and profound depth of love.Reflect, today, upon this humble act of the Son of God, the Savior of the World, lowering Himself before His disciples, serving them as if He were a slave. Try to imagine yourself doing this for others. Think about various ways that you can more readily go out of your way to put others and their needs before your own. Seek to eliminate every selfish desire you struggle with and identify any fear that keeps you from humility. Understand this gift of humility and live it. Only then will you be truly blessed.My humble Lord, You set for us the perfect example of love when You chose to serve Your disciples with great humility. Help me to understand this beautiful virtue and to live it. Free me from all selfishness and fear so that I may love others as You have loved us all.

How grievous is the spectacle of men who claim to serve Christ, yet crave the world! They mount the pulpit, carry the Bible, and speak much of love--but their affections are chained to the world. Their prayers are polished, their platforms are popular, and their names are praised--yet they are lost! They are enemies of the Cross, and the Apostle writes of them with tears.Such men are not pagans. They are professing ministers. They do not outright deny Christ--they dilute Him. They do not discard the Bible--they distort it. Their god is not Jehovah--it is their belly. That is, their god is their appetite, comfort, fame, security, applause. They speak of glory, but it is their own, not His.There is scarcely a more loathsome evil, than the perversion of the Gospel by those entrusted to preach it. The Lord does not take lightly, those who dare to trade His truth for treasure, or reduce His blood-bought Gospel into a scheme for gain.Micah thundered in his day, "Her priests teach for a price… yet they lean on the LORD and say, 'Is not the LORD among us?'" (Micah 3:11). The same spirit pervades much of modern ministry. "God is here," they say, while their lives deny Him. Smooth sermons, wide smiles, and packed churches--cannot hide the stench of compromise. God sees the heart. He knows who serves Him--and who serves Mammon.Jesus left no room for divided loyalty: "You cannot serve both God and Money." The servant of Christ must be crucified to this world (Galatians 6:14), emptied of self-interest, and consumed with the glory of God. He is a herald of the King, sent to preach repentance, judgment, and grace--whether men will hear or refuse.Dear reader, do not be seduc

We as humans need to focus our attention and devotion on something in order to function properly. Pastor Johnny teaches us today that there are many things we can give our attention to, but the only one that will bring us lasting peace is the Kingdom of God. Worldly things will never satisfy that craving in our hearts.

Those who look to riches to uphold their hopes will be deeply disappointed. Worldly wealth is fleeting and uncertain. Only God can ground our hope.
