When Success Becomes A Burden E11
4d ago00:33:10Tap to summarizeSend us Fan MailWelcome to TangibleTalks! In this episode of our Third Seed Series, we're discussing "When Success Becomes a Burden." Our culture tells us we can have it all, achieve it all, and do it all—but what is the emotional and spiritual cost of chasing that promise? Through the wisdom of Joshua Becker and the teachings of Jesus, we'll explore how the relentless pursuit of more can distract us from what truly matters. We'll discuss why true success often requires saying "no," choosing contentment over accumulation, and seeking God's kingdom above earthly treasures. Join us as we discover how letting go of what doesn't matter creates space for the life God intended us to live.Tangible Talks podcast conducts conversations about applying the teachings of God in everyday situations that reveal Jesus.

Transcribe →Hidden Idols of the Heart E10
2w ago00:35:17Tap to summarizeSend us Fan MailWelcome to TangibleTalks! Today we're exploring "Hidden Idols of the Heart"—the desires we often don't recognize that can quietly take God's rightful place in our lives. While we may not bow to carved idols, things like control, approval, comfort, security, power, and position can become objects of our worship when they consume our hearts. Drawing from Scripture, including the parable of the sower, Ezekiel's warning to Israel, and 1 John 2:16, we'll discuss how these hidden idols grow unnoticed, deceive us, and ultimately shape our thoughts, choices, and actions. Join us as we uncover how to recognize these subtle heart idols and redirect our worship to God alone.Tangible Talks podcast conducts conversations about applying the teachings of God in everyday situations that reveal Jesus.

Transcribe →Achievement vs. Abiding E9
3w ago00:35:27Tap to summarizeSend us Fan MailIn this episode of TangibleTalks, Jana and Reata explore the relationship between achievement and abiding, using John 14:6–14 as the foundation for their discussion. Reata honestly reflects on her tendency toward achievement and how abiding can sometimes seem passive, while Jana highlights the importance of maintaining a healthy balance between the two. Looking at Jesus’ example, they discuss how He first demonstrated what it means to abide in the Father before inviting His followers to abide in Him. Rather than simply giving instructions, Jesus modeled the process, showing that fruitful achievement flows from a place of connection and dependence on God. As part of the ongoing Third Seed series, the conversation examines how the distractions and pressures of life can crowd out this vital relationship, challenging listeners to pursue accomplishments that are rooted in abiding rather than striving alone.Tangible Talks podcast conducts conversations about applying the teachings of God in everyday situations that reveal Jesus.

Transcribe →The Comparison Trap E-8
Jun 2700:26:57Tap to summarizeSend us Fan MailIn this episode of TangibleTalks, Jana and Reata discuss "The Comparison Trap," the habit of measuring our lives, families, and worth against others. They explain that comparison steals joy, energy, time, and purpose, often fueled by social media and envy. Drawing from John 21:21–22, they emphasize that comparing ourselves to others distracts us from the unique purpose God has for our lives and our responsibility to follow Him. They also reference Matthew 7:3–5, which teaches the importance of focusing on our own growth and shortcomings before judging others. Ultimately, the episode encourages listeners to reject comparison, embrace their God-given path, and find contentment in who God created them to be.Tangible Talks podcast conducts conversations about applying the teachings of God in everyday situations that reveal Jesus.
