<p>Strength is easy to admire. But in the kingdom of God, strength is not where leadership begins.</p> <p> </p> <p>In this episode of the Unhurried Living Podcast, Alan explores a different vision of Christian leadership—one rooted not in self-sufficiency, but in shared weakness, daily dependence, and confidence in a living Christ.</p> <p> </p> <p>Drawing from the witness of the Trappist monks of Algeria, the wisdom of Andrew Murray and A. W. Tozer, and insights from recovery communities, Alan reflects on what it means to lead from honesty rather than performance. If Jesus is truly alive, then leadership is not about managing a legacy—it is about participating in his present life.</p> <p> </p> <p>In this episode, you’ll discover:</p> <ul> <li>Why shared weakness is essential for spiritual leadership<br>• The difference between serving a memory and walking with a living Christ<br>• What Andrew Murray called the “burning heart”<br>• Why spiritual receptivity may be the defining quality of enduring leaders<br>• A simple daily prayer that reshapes how you lead</li> </ul> <p> </p> <p>If you’re feeling the quiet pressure to hold everything together, this episode will gently remind you that you were never meant to carry it alone.</p> <p> </p> <p data-start="977" data-end="1113"> </p> <hr> <p>Connect with Alan on <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/alanfadling/">LinkedIn</a> or learn more about <a href="https://www.unhurriedliving.com/alan">Unhurried Living programs</a> on their website. </p> <p>Learn about <a href="https://www.unhurriedliving.com/pace">PACE: Certificate in Leadership and Soul Care</a></p><p> Discover more Christian podcasts at <a href="https://www.lifeaudio.com/">lifeaudio.com</a> and inquire about advertising opportunities at <a href="https://www.lifeaudio.com/contact-us">lifeaudio.com/contact-us</a>. </p>

<p>In this meditation of our Lenten series, <em>I AM: A Lenten Journey with Jesus</em>, we reflect on one of Jesus’s most powerful declarations in John 11:21–27:</p> <p>“I am the resurrection and the life.”</p> <p>Jesus speaks these words to Martha in the middle of grief. Her brother Lazarus has died. The loss is real. The disappointment is honest. She tells Jesus what many of us have felt:</p> <p>“Lord, if only you had been here…”</p> <p>Into that place of sorrow and confusion, Jesus does not offer an explanation. He offers Himself.</p> <p>He does not merely promise resurrection someday.<br>He declares that He is resurrection.<br>He is life.</p> <p>This is the heart of the gospel. Death does not have the final word. Sin does not have the final word. Despair does not have the final word.</p> <p>In this guided Scripture meditation, you are invited to identify where you need Jesus to be resurrection and life in your own story. Through slow readings of John 11:21–27, you’ll be guided to reflect, respond honestly, and renew your hope in His promise.</p> <p>The story of Lazarus ultimately ends with life walking out of the tomb. But even before the miracle, Jesus gives Martha something just as powerful: a question.</p> <p>“Do you believe this?”</p> <p>Resurrection hope begins with trust.</p> <p>Download your FREE companion journal for <strong>I AM: A Lenten Journey with Jesus</strong>.

<p>John 20:1–10 brings us to a moment that literally shifts the course of human history. It begins in the early hours of the morning, while it’s still dark. Mary Magdalene goes to the tomb, struggling with grief, confusion, and a heavy heart. Just days earlier, she had watched Jesus die. The one she trusted, the one she believed was the Messiah, had been crucified. And now, as she approaches the tomb, she notices something unexpected. The stone has been taken away.</p> <p>.</p> <p>Please visit <a href="https://www.biblestudyheadquarters.com/">https://www.biblestudyheadquarters.com/</a> for more tools and resources to help you grow in faith.

<p>Summary: In this episode, Shaunti Feldhahn sits down with author Laurie Davies to unpack the powerful concept behind the book <em>Emotional Hoarding: Letting Go of the Stuff That Keeps You Stuck</em>. Together, they explore how holding onto hard emotions costs us. Emotional 'hoarding’ limits how we love, it keeps us stuck in regret, grudges, and shame—and, most importantly, it creates a disconnect between us and the freedom God wants us to walk in. </p> <p>Together, Shaunti and Laurie distinguish between emotional “baggage” and the deeper patterns of emotional hoarding, highlighting signs that you might be hoarding hard emotions, and why honest self-examination is essential to breaking free. </p> <p>The conversation dives into emotions such as worry, worthlessness, regret, anger, and bitterness—focusing on how scripture offers a clear path to freedom. With worry, for example, Shaunti and Laurie discuss how renewing our thinking, grounded in principles from Philippians 4:8, can close the worry loop and restore peace. </p> <p>As Shaunti observed in her foreword to the book: “You will never think about your inner emotional life the same way again.” </p> <p>Tune in to this episode for a hope-filled path for stepping into greater emotional and relational freedom. </p> <p>Links: <a href="https://lauriedavies.com/">lauriedavies.com</a> <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Emotional-Hoarding-Letting-Stuff-Keeps/dp/0802437079/ref=sr_1_1?dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.-X_3bPNHWkwawOfthiNLkvPNwKp7PWGk5VluiRIQZORBd8_14iFowGQ0cQl5xTorICVRJbP9yf4YArqoSoYP4O7f-9Cp48I_HOk_BH4gBBwF4JBWhLiV941JSBhMBfM_QqzRbbUnyahZ5TdmBLQyGYhM0Gzti-j3adPeG7Fj7_YzvAc6iCfBo6RcmEeGB5nCNInKlf6pkOBug8-IcY8C0mF7ZEasllldVO-RxXRsccU.GFU5Wc9UV0Sv4uziRJLf10N8pZMkz3MwFPxyqeYPa9k&dib_tag=se&keywords=Emotional+Hoarding&qid=1774894011&sr=8-1">Emotional Hoarding on Amazon</a></p> <p> </p><p> Discover more Christian podcasts at <a href="https://www.lifeaudio.com/">lifeaudio.com</a> and inquire about advertising opportunities at <a href="https://www.lifeaudio.com/contact-us">lifeaudio.com/contact-us</a>. </p>

<p>In this episode of 'Hope for the Journey', Monica Schmelter and Heather Creekmore discuss the struggles of body image among Christian women. They explore Heather's personal journey with body image issues, the impact of societal standards, and the realization that these <strong>struggles can be rooted in idolatry</strong>. The conversation emphasizes the importance of recognizing body image as a sin problem,<strong> the exhaustion of chasing societal ideals, and the hope found in Christ</strong>. They encourage women to start their journey towards <strong>freedom from body image issues and to focus on loving God and others instead of being consumed by self-image.</strong></p> <p>Takeaways</p> <p>Making peace with our bodies is essential for freedom.<br>Body image issues often stem from idolatry.<br>Recognizing body image as a sin problem is crucial.<br>The journey to freedom is a process, not an instant fix.<br>Community and relationships are vital for mental health.<br>Healthy living is about more than just weight loss.<br>We need to challenge societal standards of beauty.<br>God has a unique purpose for each of us, beyond our appearance.<br>The gospel provides hope and acceptance.<br>We can find freedom by focusing on God and loving others.</p> <p><a href="https://www.heathercreekmore.com/">Heather Creekmore, Christian Author, Podcast Host, Encourager</a></p><p> Discover more Christian podcasts at <a href="https://www.lifeaudio.com/">lifeaudio.com</a> and inquire about advertising opportunities at <a href="https://www.lifeaudio.com/contact-us">lifeaudio.com/contact-us</a>. </p>
