Spiritual Growth & Discipleship Podcasts

On Live the Bible with Wayne Stiles, a forgotten set of keys, mailed to a sold car's new owner, becomes a picture of handing a life over a little at a time. On The Braveheart Podcast, a teacher mentions that twenty people are due at the house for small group in about three hours. That is this kind of audio at its best: an old command made small enough to act on this week.

The Bonfire with Jesse Bradley is brisker. A Deeper Commitment spends 29 minutes in Acts 5, moving from the empty jail to the question of whose approval a believer wants. It lands on "our calling is not to be liked, it's to be light." House of LATRIA Podcast is more demanding. Walk II argues that "every instruction in the bible you see is a decision you need to make," then lingers over salt as something that sweetens, preserves and kills. At 79 minutes, it asks for patience.

Build at Danville fbc turns Sunday's sermon into a second, looser conversation. Episode 19: What Does It Really Mean to Take Up Your Cross? works Mark 8 down to the cost of surrender. Episode 17 Avoiding Spiritual Blindness drifts into an immigration case until someone concedes, "I did not mean to get political today." For complete sermons, try the Sermons & Preaching page; for study-first teaching, the Biblical Teaching & Study page.

On This Rock is moving through the Lord's Prayer a phrase at a time. In Ep. 4: Approaching God as our Father, the teacher treats the opening words as an address: great prayers sent to the wrong one are like misdirected mail. The teacher also admits to once relating to God with a borrowed formality. Halfway to Sunday reaches practice through interview. Good vs God Things w/ Robert Bass | Ep 107 moves from reading Scripture slowly to a months-long study of one word, Shema, "to listen," and to driving with the radio off.

Beginners have gentler doors. On Making Heaven Crowded, the host describes building a habit by reading Matthew's 28 chapters, one a day, with a study Bible's footnotes. Believe & Speak: The podcast designed to empower your tongue with truth.'s Try This Simple Habit for More Joy! gives one minute of a five-minute routine to thanking God for specific blessings.

Some of the most useful listening is talk among friends who know the text. Rooted Deep's God in the Mess -- The Fall reads 2 Samuel 11 as a slow slide that begins with David being where he should not be, with time out to "defend my right to nap." She Is includes party games and still takes on hard passages. She Is Answering the Call to Ministry: Season Finale works through 1 Timothy 2 with commentaries and reads from a writer who has Christian friends on both sides of women's ordination. The hosts promise to return with a correction if one comes. "This is just us trying to learn," one says.

The Second Scoop | Anchor Church takes its name from going back for more at a Hawaii plate lunch. Ep 9 - The Lie Women Believe | The Second Scoop Podcast names confidence as a central struggle for young women leaders. On Halfway to Sunday, Break Free from Spiritual Perfectionism w/ Kristen LaValley | Ep 101 describes a faith once held together by something like the sunk cost fallacy. For more stories like that, see the Testimony & Mental Health page.

A louder strand assumes listeners who already expect the Holy Spirit to act. The Braveheart Podcast's Learning to Love Being Pruned By God reads John 15 as a lesson in joy; the teacher insists the "environment for joy" is Jesus and the Father. The Most Underused Weapon in Christianity, filmed at home before the weekly group arrives, argues that the home is the church's most underused asset for the Great Commission. In The Gregory Dickow Podcast's 4 Types of Intimacy With Jesus, the preacher says a phone reminder to be mindful of God's presence keeps appearing more often than he set it to. Proverbs 31 Women Empowerment Podcast sounds like a prayer line left open. The healing claims on these shows are their own.
