Have you ever paid attention to a new building being constructed in your neighborhood? If you stood nearby and just watched for an hour or two you wouldn’t see much progress. Maybe you’d see a window or two installed. But mostly you’d walk away seeing the house in much the same state as when you arrived. But if you were to watch a time lapse of this building you’d see that big things happen because of many small moments. https://salvationarmysoundcast.org/heartbeat Discover more Christian podcasts at lifeaudio.com and inquire about advertising opportunities at lifeaudio.com/contact-us.
In The Salvation Army, we don’t have funerals. We have a celebration of life. We celebrate the beautiful moments God gifted us with this person. We celebrate the lives they touched while they were here with us, and we celebrate the hope God has given us in eternal life through His Son Jesus Christ. https://salvationarmysoundcast.org/heartbeat Discover more Christian podcasts at lifeaudio.com and inquire about advertising opportunities at lifeaudio.com/contact-us.
Have you ever tried out for something? A sports team? A play? A band? If so, what did you do in the weeks or months leading up to that tryout? If was for a football team- did you practice? Did you exercise? Eat well? Or did you only say a prayer about it- expecting God to make it happen without your own effort? https://salvationarmysoundcast.org/heartbeat Discover more Christian podcasts at lifeaudio.com and inquire about advertising opportunities at lifeaudio.com/contact-us.
What was the last new device you purchased? A new phone, new computer, or a new security device? It can be so frustrating having limited knowledge of this new gadget. But after reading through the instructions and watching a few tutorials it’s like a whole new world opens up to us. It’s not that it didn’t exist before- we just didn’t know about it. https://salvationarmysoundcast.org/heartbeat Discover more Christian podcasts at lifeaudio.com and inquire about advertising opportunities at lifeaudio.com/contact-us.
If you want to get a group of people talking, ask them to share about the worst job they’ve ever had. Everyone has a story about a boring job, a terrible boss, or rude coworker. A workplace is somewhere uniquely prone to conflict because you’re asking a group of people with very different personalities to work together to achieve a common goal. https://salvationarmysoundcast.org/heartbeat Discover more Christian podcasts at lifeaudio.com and inquire about advertising opportunities at lifeaudio.com/contact-us.
In the Bible, when Peter asked Jesus how many times he needed to forgive someone, Jesus, beautifully replied, “Seventy times seven times”. In other words- we should forgive continuously. https://salvationarmysoundcast.org/heartbeat Discover more Christian podcasts at lifeaudio.com and inquire about advertising opportunities at lifeaudio.com/contact-us.
In a society focused on out busy-ing each other, the act of taking a Sabbath appears to be a lost art. However, much like an active recovery day allows your body to recover, observing a Sabbath doesn’t mean you can’t be productive. When you give your mind a break from your demanding work life, you’re able to focus on your family, your home life and your prayer life. https://salvationarmysoundcast.org/heartbeat Discover more Christian podcasts at lifeaudio.com and inquire about advertising opportunities at lifeaudio.com/contact-us.

What do you think is the most highlighted scripture in the Bible? Well according to a recent study by Amazon, the most highlighted scripture is Philippians 4:6-7. “Don’t be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” https://salvationarmysoundcast.org/heartbeat Discover more Christian podcasts at lifeaudio.com and inquire about advertising opportunities at lifeaudio.com/contact-us.
Has compassion ever cost you something? Quite honestly, being the hands and feet of Jesus isn’t always neat and tidy. In fact, it may cost you more than you bargained for. But, Galatians chapter 6 encourages us to carry each other’s burdens for in this way we fulfill the law of Christ. https://salvationarmysoundcast.org/heartbeat Discover more Christian podcasts at lifeaudio.com and inquire about advertising opportunities at lifeaudio.com/contact-us.
