Podcasts about Worley

Sports betting is exploding across the country. With online platforms, mobile apps, and aggressive marketing, it's never been easier to gamble — or easier to hide it. What many view as harmless entertainment may actually be reshaping how we think about money, community, and even discipleship.Pastor and author Kyle Worley—Lead Pastor of Mosaic Church in Richardson, Texas, co-host of the Knowing Faith podcast, and author of Home with God: Our Union with Christ—recently wrote on this growing trend for Faithful Steward magazine. Today, he joins the show to explain why the rise of sports gambling deserves more careful thought from believers.A Different Kind of GamblingSports gambling carries a unique appeal. Unlike casinos or the lottery, it taps into nostalgia, play, and community.“Sports connect to childhood memories and communal experiences,” Worley notes. “That nostalgia makes sports betting feel natural, even harmless.”The danger lies in how subtly wagering attaches itself to something already meaningful—games shared with friends, family, or childhood heroes—making it easier to dismiss spiritual risks.What Does Scripture Actually Say?The Bible does not explicitly outlaw gambling. But it repeatedly warns against the desire for quick, hasty gain. Worley points to 1 Timothy 6:9–10, noting that it speaks directly to the temptations and destruction tied to wealth pursued rapidly and without wisdom. Gambling fits that pattern.Scripture's concern is not merely financial but formational. Gambling trains us to view wealth through the lens of chance, speed, and self-interest—the opposite of stewardship, patience, and contentment.The spiritual stakes aren't just internal. They are profoundly communal. Worley cites Old Testament scholar Bruce Waltke:“The righteous disadvantage themselves for the sake of the community; the unrighteous advantage themselves at the expense of the community.”Modern betting apps are built on asymmetric outcomes—they profit only because others lose. And statistically, those losses fall disproportionately on the vulnerable.Many platforms use predatory models:Winners face worse odds or even shuttered accountsConsistent losers are enticed with better odds and larger limitsWorley compares it to handing a chainsaw to a child—unjust simply because not everyone absorbs the harm equally.Normalization and Cultural FormationSports gambling has moved from taboo to mainstream with startling speed. Betting lines now appear on ESPN, broadcasts, and social media—even during youth-oriented sports programming.The result: a generation being formed to see gambling as normal and morally neutral.Worley warns that where gambling proliferates, other forms of exploitation follow — including human trafficking during major sporting events. While the Bible may speak indirectly about gambling, it speaks directly about exploitation.Some point to the biblical practice of casting lots as justification for gambling. Worley draws a sharp distinction:Casting lots was a religious act of trust—not a wager. It carried no profit motive and served no entertainment purpose. Reframing it as support for modern gambling misunderstands its role entirely.How Churches Can Disciple BetterFor pastors and ministry leaders, Worley offers three recommendations:Talk More About Money - Many Christians lack a positive theology of wealth. That vacuum leaves them vulnerable to cultural narratives.Address “Respectable” Vices - Gambling isn't the only fun, socially accepted vice that harms stewardship. Churches must disciple beyond obvious sins.Create Healthy Avenues for Play and Connection - Sports betting offers counterfeit community, especially for men. Churches should provide better alternatives.The Wisdom Required TodayIn the end, debates about whether gambling is technically permissible miss the deeper biblical question: Does this help me love God and neighbor well?Worley's counsel is simple: navigate these decisions in community, under Scripture, with wisdom. Quick profit is never neutral—it forms us. And it shapes the people around us.As sports betting continues to surge, Christians will need more than opinions. They will need conviction, clarity, and a vision of stewardship that honors God and protects the vulnerable.———————————————————————————————————————Kyle Worley's full article, “The Real Stakes of Sports Betting,” appears in the latest issue of Faithful Steward magazine.

Fasting and prayer aren’t religious routines—they’re powerful spiritual disciplines that draw us closer to God. In Week 3 of Deeper 21, Pastor JC Worley teaches what happens when prayer and fasting come together and how God responds when His people seek Him in desperation. Through the story of King Jehoshaphat in 2 Chronicles 20, we see how prayer and fasting bring divine direction, God’s favor, and spiritual power—even when we don’t know what to do. When our eyes are on God, the battle belongs to Him.

Fasting isn't just about being hungry; it’s about being hungry for God. In Week 2 of our "Deeper 21" series, Pastor JC Worley unpacks the biblical purpose of fasting and why it is one of the most powerful tools for spiritual growth. It’s easy to view fasting as a way to manipulate God or just a religious diet, but the truth is much simpler: God responds to movement. When we draw near to Him by disconnecting from the world, He promises to draw near to us. Key Takeaway: The Definition: Moving from a technical understanding to a practical hunger for God. The Purpose: Why fasting is about devotion, not deprivation. The Effect: How fasting acts like "noise-canceling headphones" for your spirit, tuning out the world so you can hear God clearly. The Flesh vs. Spirit: Breaking the cycle of comfort and convenience to strengthen your spirit. Practical Steps: The different types of biblical fasts (Normal, Partial, and Absolute) and how to start. If you are looking to quiet the noise of the world and reset your spiritual sensitivity, this message is for you. Scripture References: James 4:8, Joel 2:12, Galatians 5

We all want to see change in our lives. We want to grow, we want clarity, and we want to see God move. But often, we try to change our circumstances without first changing our focus. In this message, Pastor JC dives into the spiritual disciplines of prayer and fasting. These aren't just religious rituals or things we do to check a box. They are powerful tools designed to help us disconnect from the noise of the world so we can reconnect with the voice of God. Fasting isn't just about what you give up; it's about making room for who you are inviting in. When we choose to seek God first—above our comfort, our schedules, and our distractions—we position ourselves for breakthrough. It’s time to go Deeper. ___

As we step into a new year, Scripture calls us to live by faith and not by sight. We live in a visually driven culture, but sight is factual and not always truthful. From the beginning, the enemy has worked to deceive through what looks good and seems desirable. If we are going to live faith forward in 2026, we cannot trust our eyes. We must ask a better question: What does God say about what I see? Hebrews 11 reminds us that faith is the proof of what is not seen, and without faith it is impossible to please God. Faith always stands in opposition to sight. Living faith forward means believing God's Word and doing things that only God can do. Faith begins with understanding, but it must move us to action. Scripture gives clear examples of faith in action. Noah believed God and built an ark when it made no sense. Moses walked away from comfort and stepped forward at the Red Sea. By faith they understood, by faith they acted, and by faith they persevered. As we move into 2026, the call is the same.

Send us a textDeath has never been funnier as legendary road comic Bob Worley transforms roadkill encounters into comedy gold in this special Audience of One bonus show. Bob kicks things off with a perfectly executed misdirection, asking host Scott Edwards about those heart-stopping moments when animals dart in front of your car – only to reveal he's never experienced this himself and is shocked that Scott apparently has a history of vehicular animal slaughter. The comedy builds as Bob shares increasingly absurd scenarios, including a friend who hit a deer and proudly displayed its duct-taped antlers as a trophy.The hilarity reaches new heights when Bob contemplates the physics of hitting a cow – "How does a cow dart out in front of your car? Don't they just mosey along?" His vivid descriptions of udder-hindered bovine movement will have you laughing despite yourself. The comedic climax arrives with Bob's confession about hitting a pigeon named "Billy" who tragically miscalculated his escape timing, followed by the other pigeons' pragmatic response to their friend's demise – "Oh, Billy didn't make it" – before proceeding to eat him in what Bob philosophically calls "the circle of life."This episode showcases exactly why Bob Worley has been a comedy staple for over four decades. His ability to find humor in life's uncomfortable moments and deliver it with impeccable timing reminds us why dark comedy, when done right, creates some of the most memorable laughs.

Jesus talked about money. A lot. It's one of the topics he covered most, not because he wanted something from us, but because he knew what money can do to us. Our generosity is often the greatest indicator of our spiritual health. We’re kicking off a brand new series, "Be Generous," and Pastor JC starts with one of the most confusing parables Jesus ever told: the story of the dishonest manager from Luke 16. It’s not a lesson praising dishonesty; it's a powerful call for "Holy Shrewdness." We are called to be faithful managers—not owners—of what God has given us, using temporary, worldly wealth to create a permanent, eternal impact. ➡️ New to GO Church? We’d love to connect with you.

In today's episode, we're joined by Darryn Quayle, Vice President, Global Mining Sector Leader at Worley, someone with deep experience across government, engineering, and sustainable mining development. Darryn recently returned from an intense and insightful visit to Brazil, as part of the Global Investor Commission on Mining 2030, where he and other industry leaders met with investors managing more than $130 trillion in assets, alongside government representatives and even President Lula himself. In this conversation, we'll unpack what happened during that visit, from the discussions in Brasilia and Belo Horizonte, to the moving experience of revisiting the Brumadinho disaster site nearly six years on. We'll also explore how Worley and the wider mining community are working to align investor expectations, sustainability goals, and real-world project delivery — shaping the partnerships and principles that could define the future of responsible mining. Darryn is also going to be attending the upcoming Resourcing Tomorrow event - the premier gathering for the world's mining leaders taking place in London from 2-4 December. What sets this event apart is its unmatched audience: C-level executives from the biggest mining companies worldwide, over 40 government ministers, leading mining technology providers, and many more mining professionals in the industry.

KEY TAKEAWAYS The meeting with President Lula and his cabinet emphasised the importance of aligning government initiatives with investor expectations and sustainability goals Revisiting the site of the Brumadinho disaster served as a poignant reminder of the catastrophic consequences of mining failures, reinforcing the need for fundamental change There is a strong emphasis on the need for the mining industry to adopt first-of-a-kind technologies that can reduce environmental impacts BEST MOMENTS "When we did the investor tailings safety initiative, there was a lack of understanding what a tailings dam was" "Returning to the site after six years was a very surreal experience... I knew that site back to front, particularly up to the latter stages of the geography of the area" "Success looks like reshaping that story... mining is absolutely capable of a fundamental paradigm shift."

We often think of nightmares as a symptom that occurs as part of another condition, like PTSD or depression. But nightmares can be frequent and disruptive enough that they require their own clinical focus. We currently have 3 gold standard options for treatment: Imagery Rehearsal Therapy; Exposure, Relaxation, and Rescription Therapy; and Lucid Dreaming. Our guest today, Dr. Courtney Worley, introduces us to the diagnosis of Nightmare Disorder, explains why it deserves its own attention, and gives us an overview of the most effective treatments. Join us for a discussion that appeals to sleep nerds and healthy skeptics alike. Dr. Courtney Worley is a Diplomate In Behavioral Sleep Medicine and Board-Certified Clinical Psychologist. She completed her Ph.D. in clinical psychology in 2012 at The University of Alabama with specialized coursework in health and geropsychology.

D'Arcy Carden is the best kind of busy right now. She just wrapped her run on the Emmy award winning series The Handmaid's Tale where she managed to swoop in during the show's sixth and final season and quickly establish herself as a fan favorite character. Right now she's in production on a highly anticipated and star studded Peacock series based on Elin Hilderbrand's novel, Five Star Weekend. Carden stars in that one alongside Jennifer Garner, Regina Hall, Chloë Sevigny and Gemma Chan. Carden also makes a mark on the indie cinema space this year courtesy of Seth Worley's phenomenal feature directorial debut, Sketch. The movie utilizes a downright brilliant concept to explore a family's grief. Jack (Kue Lawrence) and Amber (Bianca Belle) recently lost their mother, and they're coping with it in two totally different ways, as is their father, Taylor, played by Tony Hale. While Jack and Taylor are bottling it all up, Amber is expressing herself with art — or, more specifically, by drawing violent monsters in her notebook. One day, that notebook falls in a pond. But, it's not any old pond. This pond has magical powers, and it brings her sketches to life, and those sketches go on to terrorize her town.Carden enters as Liz, Jack and Amber's real estate agent aunt. Initially, she's wholly focused on helping Taylor sell their home but soon comes to realize that the fight against Amber's drawings is very real, and she's going to have to fight creatures made of marker, crayon, glitter, and more alongside her brother.Sketch is a top tier original film.

We spend 40% of our lives at work. Think about that for a second—that's a lot of time! If God knows we're spending 150,000 hours on the job, you can be sure He has a purpose for every single one of those moments. In this message, Pastor JC brings our "Made For Mondays" series to a close by challenging us to see our work not just as a paycheck, but as a mission field. Our jobs aren't meant to be a tension against our faith, but a place where our faith can shine brightly. Are you ready to see how God can use your job to change lives? You were created for a purpose, and what you do is a gift from God. The mission field is right where you are—in your cubicle, in the classroom, or on the field. Jesus wants to work through you, and He’s given you the greatest tools to do it: being aware, committing to prayer, showing care, and being ready to share your story. GO Church exists to love anyone from anywhere into a personal and growing relationship with Jesus Christ. We believe in loving people to life.

When Mondays Hit Hard: A Message of Hope What do you do when the world is in chaos? The news is filled with stories of evil and division. The devil is running wild, and it can be easy to lose hope. But what if there's another story happening? What if God is up to something? In this powerful message, Pastor JC challenges us to shift our perspective from the chaos around us to the hope we have in Jesus. He dives deep into the theology of work, reminding us that work was a part of God’s perfect plan from the very beginning. While sin may have made work difficult, it's not without purpose. In fact, our jobs can be a place where we find true meaning, passion, and fulfillment. This week, we learn that what you do matters, and God cares about your work because He cares about you. You may not be able to change your job, but you can change the way you see it. Pastor JC shares three ways to transform your approach to work: be thankful, be faithful, and be excellent. Doing your best and leaving the results to God can make your life a testimony that points others to Jesus. Because no matter how tough the week looks, we know how the story ends—we win.

We’ve all heard the phrase: “Hurt people hurt people.” But what if church hurt doesn’t have to define you—or destroy your faith? In this powerful message, Pastor JC Worley unpacks how unresolved pain often spills over into relationships, breeding more hurt. Looking at biblical truth and real-life experiences, he reminds us that while people may wound us, God offers a path to healing, forgiveness, and restoration. This isn’t about minimizing pain. It’s about breaking the cycle of hurt and allowing Jesus to transform our response.

One of the most common reasons people give for leaving or avoiding the church is simple: “It’s full of hypocrites.” In this honest and challenging message, Pastor JC Worley confronts the reality of hypocrisy in the church and its devastating impact. Drawing from the story of Ananias and Sapphira in Acts 5, he shows how hypocrisy destroys trust, damages the witness of the church, and even separates us from God. But the good news is that what hypocrisy breaks, God’s truth and grace can heal.

Church hurt is real—but it doesn’t have to define you. In this compassionate and challenging message, Pastor JC Worley tackles the reality of pain caused by people within the church. Using the story of Hannah in 1 Samuel 1, he shows that even when leaders miss it, or fellow believers wound us, God offers healing and hope. This isn’t about pretending the hurt never happened—it’s about facing it, refusing to let it shape your view of God, and choosing to stay and heal instead of walking away.

In the ninth episode of Soundscapes NYC, host Ryan Purcell traces the trans-Atlantic movement of artists associated with punk culture in New York and London. In conversation with British cultural historian Matt Worley, we follow New York-based artists like Jayne (née Wayne) County, Johnny Thunders, Jerry Nolan, and others to the U.K. where they embedded themselves in a growing music-based subculture. As the punk aesthetic expanded internationally it diversified in form incorporating elements of fashion, literature, and cinema like Derek Jarman's apocalyptic masterpiece JUBILEE (1978).  Matt Worley is a Professor of Modern History at the University of Reading and author of numerous books that cover modern British history with a special focus on music and the British Labor movement. His book No Future: Punk, Politics and British Your Culture, 1976-1984 (Cambridge University Press, 2017) explores the evolution of punk as a fashion, a musical form, an attitude, and an overall aesthetic. Setting punk culture against a backdrop of social fragmentation, violence, high unemployment, and socio-economic change, Worley recaptures punk's anarchic force as a medium through which the frustrated and the disaffected could reject, revolt, and re-invent.
