Podcasts about worshiping

SummaryIn this conversation, Benjamin Lee discusses the contrast between trusting in the universe and trusting in God. He emphasizes that the universe is a created entity and cannot provide guidance, salvation, or answers to life's questions. Instead, he argues that God is the true source of life, truth, and blessings. Benjamin warns against modern idolatry, where people worship the creation rather than the Creator, and encourages listeners to seek a personal relationship with God.TakeawaysThe universe is a created entity, not the Creator.Trusting in the universe leads to disappointment.God is the source of life and truth.The universe cannot provide guidance or answers.Worshiping the universe is a form of idolatry.God desires a personal relationship with us.Redemption is found only in Jesus Christ.Every good gift comes from God, not the universe.The universe is silent; God communicates with us.The truth of God will always prevail over lies.Chapters00:00 The Universe vs. The Creator04:04 The Nature of Creation09:01 The Silence of the Universe11:51 God's Communication with Humanity16:07 The Power of God vs. The Universe19:48 The Fallacy of Trusting the Universe23:36 The Call to Trust in Godwww.icandopodcast.com

MATTHEW: THE BRIGHTEST WORSHIP IN THE DARKEST HOUR is an exploration of worship as seen in the closing chapters of Matthew. It takes us through the Passion Week and shows how Jesus worshiped in His darkest hour through prayer, sacrifice, weeping, outreach, and song. Each week highlights a unique expression of worship, drawing from the narratives of the Last Supper, Gethsemane, the crucifixion, and the triumph of Christ's resurrection. This series invites us to see worship as a daily response to God's love, inspired by Jesus' example and the actions of those around Him. Join Horizon for this verse-by-verse study at the Equipping services, meeting Sundays at 8:30 and 9:45 a.m.

Boomers, Gen X, Millennials… as a culture we love to separate ourselves by generations. While there is a time and place for children to be with children and adults to be with adults, everybody misses out if there is never a time for everyone to come together. In this episode of CPXL the conversation centers around intergenerational ministry, the value it brings to everyone involved, and how you can start moving towards being more intergenerational today.

Mike Peterson joins CK to share the story of Bitcoin Beach in El Zonte, El Salvador, and how it became a model for a circular economy. The conversation explores his journey from a California surfer to a community leader in El Salvador, where bitcoin moved from theory into practice. Together, they discuss why bitcoin must be used as money rather than just digital gold, how saving in bitcoin changed lives in El Zonte, and what it means for a nation to adopt bitcoin as legal tender.The episode highlights how Bitcoin Beach started as a community effort to keep young people out of gangs and how paying them in Bitcoin created a culture of saving and long-term thinking. Mike explains the challenges that came with adoption, from lost wallets to bear markets, and why success must be measured over decades, not months. He also reflects on the role of faith and money in shaping his work and why giving credit to others has helped the project grow.This conversation is about more than bitcoin's price or technology. It shows what happens when financial freedom, community development, and personal values come together in one place. If you want to understand how circular economies form and why El Salvador's story matters globally, you'll find insights here you won't hear anywhere else.If you enjoyed the episode, share your thoughts in the comments, send it to a friend, and subscribe so you never miss what comes next.-Bitcoin Beach TeamConnect and Learn more about All in Bitcoin with CKNostr: allinbitcoin@primal.net X: https://x.com/allinbitcoinpod YT: https://www.youtube.com/@AllInBitcoinPod Support and follow Bitcoin Beach:X: @BitcoinBeachIG: @bitcoinbeach_svTikTok: @livefrombitcoinbeachWeb: bitcoinbeach.comBrowse through this quick guide to learn more about the episode: 00:00 Why did Mike Peterson move to El Salvador during the world's highest murder rate?01:15 What did Mike want to be as a kid and how did surfing shape his life?02:39 How did a surf trip lead to discovering El Salvador?04:42 What did El Salvador save him from and what did bitcoin change for him?06:08 How does Mike define a true bitcoiner?07:08 What lesson took him the longest to learn about persuasion?10:19 How did Mike meet his wife and what did he study in college?18:13 What is Mike's bitcoin story and when did he first buy?20:03 Which adoption story from Uganda surprised him most?26:40 What is Bitcoin Beach and how did it start?28:59 How did paying youth in bitcoin change saving habits?29:58 What were the hardest moments of running Bitcoin Beach?32:27 How has Bitcoin Beach impacted El Salvador's image and tourism?38:37 How did faith and early projects shape his work before bitcoin?41:52 What has Mike changed his mind about since starting Bitcoin Beach?43:47 What legacy does Mike hope Bitcoin Beach will leave 100 years from now?Live From Bitcoin Beach

Worshipping in the Fearful In-Between

In last week's conversation with Chad and Ronni Fellers (listen HERE), we heard the story of their son Paxton—his adoption, his joy-filled spirit, and the day their lives changed forever. We also heard how grief has forced them to wrestle deeply with their faith and the goodness of God in the wake of profound loss.In today's episode, part two of our conversation, we focus on something many grieving hearts struggle to understand: lament. Chad and Ronni speak honestly about what it means to bring their pain, their questions, even their anger to God—not as a lack of faith, but as a vital expression of it. As Ronni puts it, “When you're wrestling with someone, you're face to face. And if I'm still wrestling with God, it means I haven't turned away.”We talk about how lament has shaped their grief, their marriage, their parenting, and their perspective on worship. Ronni shares the story behind her blog, The God Kiss, and the healing she's found in writing her wrestle.This conversation is a powerful reminder that God welcomes our sorrow—and meets us there with His presence. We'll pick up right where we left off last week.Click HERE to watch the Fellers' video testimony produced by Fellowship Bible Church.  I would love to hear your thoughts on the show.

WEEK 2 | GATHER TIMEThe 5G Life Series | Pastor Craig TurnbullIn Week 2 of The 5G Life, Pastor Craig explores the biblical importance of Gather Time—regularly coming together with other believers for worship, encouragement, and spiritual growth. God created us for community, and gathering together is essential for building faith, finding encouragement, and uniting around God's mission.Through the example of the early church in Acts and the encouragement of Scripture, this message calls us to prioritize time with God's people as a vital part of following Jesus.Key Takeaways:Gathering with believers is essential for spiritual health.Worshiping together unites and strengthens the body of Christ.Faith grows deeper through shared community.Gathering fuels our mission and helps us endure trials.Related Scriptures:Acts 2:42–47Hebrews 10:24–25Psalm 133:1Matthew 18:20If you've been feeling disconnected or spiritually dry, this message invites you to make Gather Time a regular and life-giving part of your walk with Christ.Need prayer?

For episode 251, I'm joined once again by my co-host Myles Hughes, with producer Steve Prusakowski behind the scenes working on what's now Phase Two Emmys coverage and the new season of TV Topics, which are in abundance on the site currently. This time around, we're obviously focused on Zach Cregger and Weapons. My rave review is here, though Myles and I really do get into it. There's also your questions, as per the usual, and I give my thoughts on Ethan Coen's Honey Don't (review to come). However, Cregger and his genre genius is very much the focus.As always my friends and faithful listeners/readers, I do hope you all enjoy the latest episode of the Awards Radar Podcast, our 251st one to date (here's to many more). Of course, feel free to revisit the previous installments by clicking the Podcast tab (here) on the top of the page. Plus, listen to us on Apple Podcasts (iTunes), Spotify, and other platforms. More to come each and every single week, so from the bottom of my heart, thank you for listening! 

We're beginning a two-part series today with Chad and Ronni Fellers, who invite us into their story and help us understand what it means to grieve with both faith and honesty.In today's episode, Chad and Ronni share about their son Paxton, a young man his dad describes as “all gas, no brakes”—his adoption story, his bold and fearless personality, and the morning that marked the beginning of a life-altering journey. They talk about the six weeks spent in the hospital, the thousands of people who prayed, and the moment they realized God's healing would look different than they had hoped. Through it all, they speak openly about writhing in pain, wrestling with God, and slowly learning how to worship in the midst of deep grief.In this episode, we discuss:Paxton's adoption and early yearsHis vibrant, fearless personalityThe morning everything changedTheir six-week stay in the ICUThe role of faith during traumaHonest wrestling with God in griefWhy lament is a faithful response to sufferingThe recalibration of life after child lossThis episode is not about resolution—it's about invitation: to lament, to question, and to trust that even in the ache, we are not alone.Click HERE to watch the Fellers' video testimony produced by Fellowship Bible Church.  I would love to hear your thoughts on the show.

Welcome back to our August series, Rooted in Ephesians.Today we're pausing with Ephesians 1:7–10, where Paul writes:“In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God's grace that He lavished on us. With all wisdom and understanding, He made known to us the mystery of His will... to bring unity to all things in heaven and on earth under Christ.”These verses are a stunning reminder that your salvation wasn't cheap. It was bought with the blood of Jesus. He didn't just redeem your soul—He redeemed your story, your struggles, your body, your entire life.And when we truly grasp that—when we understand the weight and wonder of being redeemed—it changes how we live today. We no longer use our bodies out of shame, punishment, or neglect. We use them as a form of worship.We eat, move, rest, and care for ourselves not to earn anything, but in response to everything we've already been given in Christ.

The Israelites lost the Ark of the Covenant and it took them years to get it back. It's a crazy, sad story that teaches us about worship and how our worship has to be focused on God completely.

Senior Pastor Dr. Patterson shares a powerful word from Psalm 95 as part of our Lifted Life series.

I. The Wrong Worship II. The Right Worship III. The Important Promise Scripture Reading: Psalm 81 Text: Lord's Day 35 Psalter Numbers: 268, 322, 256, 222

Culture constantly tells you to build—your brand, your business, your platform, your legacy. And while building isn't wrong, there's a quiet danger in letting what you built for God become what you worship instead of him. In this episode, we'll dive in to the subtle shift from honoring God to honoring ourselves. We won't call out the obvious idols only; we'll talk about the good things that start as tributes but turn into traps. If you've ever prayed for success, favor, or fruitfulness, this episode will help you examine whether your victories are still about God—or if they've slowly become about you.

In this episode of The Encourager Podcast, I share a vulnerable story about a Monday when I got everything done—but missed one of the most important moments of my week.

This episode invites you to pause, reflect, and realign how you approach productivity—through the lens of intentionality, connection, and grace.

Announcement!! I'm going to start uploading my video essays to this feed so people can watch them on Spotify or listen to them via podcasting apps. I will try to upload one video essay a month, always on a Monday. Hope you enjoy them! A new form of techno-spirituality is spreading like wildfire across the internet. Thousands of people are claiming that ChatGPT is sentient and that the AI is a type of all knowing God, or that it has been sent from the future or an alien civilization to save us. Is this a new form of religion or mass psychosis? In this video, I deep into the rise of ChatGPT/AI worship and unpack how decades of pop culture influences have primed us to view technology as God-like. I dig into how tech became fused with spirituality, Silicon Valley founder worship, what the academic research on this topic says, and how we can stop more people from falling victim to this cycle before it's too late. ***** Buy a subscription to my Tech and Online Culture newsletter, User Magazine to support my work!!

Gluttony isn't about food—it's about the heart. Like Esau, we often trade what matters most for what satisfies in the moment. But Jesus, the Bread of Life, offers lasting satisfaction and the power to overcome our cravings. Today's message invites you to examine what's ruling your appetite and choose dependence on Christ instead. Let food point you to worship, not control you.
