EP7: From King of My Life to Servant of Christ — The Hardest Lesson I Had to Unlearn

In this episode of Holy & Messy, we go deep into the journey of becoming — not the person we want to be, but the person God is shaping us into.We talk about:– How my pursuit of success, legacy and “building my own kingdom” eventually collapsed– The heartbreak that became the turning point that led me to Jesus– The mentor who showed me what true humility and kingdom generosity looks like– The dangerous temptation to make ourselves the “main character” in ministry– What I had to unlearn from Romans 7 & Proverbs 19:21 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jjigM62lEqA&t=1161s]– And the one truth I want to hold on to as I keep becoming:Be a servant, not a king.If you’ve ever wrestled with ambition, identity, calling, or the tension between your plans and God’s purpose — this episode is for you.Thanks for listening.Let’s keep becoming together.He is the King. We are not.

EP6: When Ministry Burnout Redefines Your Calling

"Is my worth just what I do for God?"In this episode of Holy & Messy, Beth joins us to share how God gently rewrote her understanding of calling, work and identity.From hating her own teenage years to becoming a youth worker…from a “boring” prophecy about being a counsellor to actually training as one…from burnout in full-time ministry to working in a pet shop and rediscovering God’s love…Beth’s story shows that calling isn’t a job title — it’s a journey of letting God shape who we become.We talk about:– How a simple prayer for a heart for young people changed everything – Life inside the Eden Network and living missionally in your neighbourhood – Studying counselling in a secular university while staying rooted in Jesus – Why authenticity matters more than trying to be “cool” in youth work – The difference between selling the gospel and sharing it genuinely – Learning that our identity comes from Christ, not our productivity – Recovering from burnout and rethinking what it means to be loved by GodIf you’ve ever felt guilty for “not doing enough,” if you’ve wondered how your 9–5 connects with your faith, or if you’re wrestling with direction and calling…this conversation is for you.This is Episode 7 of “The People, The Path & The Faith.”🕊️ If you’d like prayer or want to share how you’re living out your faith outside church walls, drop it in the comments. We’re building a community here — learning to follow Jesus in all the holy & messy places of life.—🎧 Podcast: Holy & Messy 🎥 Host: Christopher 👤 Guest: Beth — youth worker, trainee counsellor, pastor’s wife & follower of Jesus

episode EP3: I Trusted Math More Than People — Then Jesus Happened artwork

EP3: I Trusted Math More Than People — Then Jesus Happened

Hong Kong singer–director Henry shares how trusting logic, math and patterns felt safer than people—until reason pointed to God and love required a leap of faith. From skeptic/new age / ex-atheist to following Jesus, this is a candid talk about rational faith and real discipleship. In this episode you’ll hear: * Why “I trusted patterns more than people” * Logic, time & why reason can’t cross the last gap * Church friendliness vs KPI-style evangelism * Stop arguing, start loving: walking with skeptics * Community: “They’ll know we’re Christians by our love” If this helped you, share it with a friend who’s “logical but searching.” Subscribe for honest conversations about faith in real life.

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
