What's Your Name Again? - with Kurt Caceres
Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy - with Anna Barnes
Professional Ballet Dancer, Anna Barnes, sits with America's Podcaster, Kurt Caceres, to talk about one of the most grueling and impossible careers to find success on the planet. Only 10% of all children who start this form of dance, ever make it to the top. It's one of the few art forms that is also considered a "sport", because of its intense daily and rigorous training, 7 days a week, for life. The physical toll it takes on the body and mentally on the psyche is rivaled by few careers.

Episode 303: God's Purpose For You; Psalm 139:13-14
What we believe about who we are has a massive impact on how our purpose is lived out. Stop for a minute and ask yourself what makes you, you? When you meet someone for the first time, how do you introduce and describe yourself? Our identity is very important to the heart of God. So much so, that he fills the Bible with stories that affirm our new identity in Christ. We can enter into an identity crisis when we lose sight of who Jesus is. However, when we renew our minds with the truth of God’s W...

Episode 302: God's Purpose For You; Deuteronomy 10:12
Have you ever known someone who could complicate even the simplest task? Christians are some of the best at this. When God provides simple, clear instructions, it seems too good to be true. So we add on more and more rules and requirements until following God seems impossible to do. Then, when we’re challenged to do something Scripture clearly commands, we find we’re too busy, too tired, and stretched too thin to do the one thing that will give us life again. Support the show

Episode 301: God's Purpose For You; Galatians 5:13-15
Imagine you had nothing to eat for weeks. Your hunger would be so overwhelming that it would consume all of your thoughts. If you saw the food your belly ached for, what are the chances you would share it with an equally famished person?Paul is thinking along those lines when he warns us not to “bite and devour” one another (Galatians 5:15). When we are empty spiritually, we see people and things as means, or obstacles, to filling our emptiness.Support the show

Episode 300: God's Purpose For You; 1 Corinthians 12
The human body is complex. Our 78 organs work individually and collectively. A dozen distinct systems coexist seamlessly. God created every part of our body for a specific purpose. Hands pick up objects, write letters, and steer the car. Feet take us down the street, up the stairs. Our hearts ensure that blood gets to every inch of our bodies, and our brains supervise and regulate bodily activities. What would the heart be without vessels to carry its live-giving force? And what would our brain be without that blood to power it? Every part must work toge...

Episode 299: God's Purpose For You; John 13:1-17
Jesus washed smelly, dirty, calloused feet with His own holy hands. At this point, the disciples are prepared for Jesus to become the military and political leader of Israel. Had Jesus wanted, He could have easily impressed the disciples with His resume. Creator, Sustainer, Sovereign Lord, King, and Messiah are a few of the titles Jesus held as God’s Son. Men like Peter, James, and John sat beside Jesus ready to be given positions of authority in His new regime. Support the show

Episode 297: Psalm 53
Too often, we take the same attitude to sin that celebrities take to blending in. In our desire to do what we want, to be our own gods, we put our sunglasses on and pretend no one is watching.But deep down, we all know this is foolishness. We can't hide from God, and no amount of disguise stops God from seeing us as we really are (Psalm 53:2-3). Support the show

Episode 295: Psalm 46
We all share the need to feel safe. When we don't feel safe, we stop growing. Instead, we put all of our energy into managing fear and protecting ourselves. Ancient cities protected their citizens by building large surrounding walls, which created a fortress that kept chaos out. The walls’ constant presence in people's lives created a safe atmosphere where communities could thrive.Support the show

You enjoy your home, and the car is nice, but the payments are a burden. Maybe, there is the student loan and some credit card debt added to the mix. You work hard to stay ahead of the obligations, but the interest grows and you feel the weight of the debt hanging over your head like a great stone suspended by a mere thread.It’s easy to feel that way about our sin as well, but unlike these financial obligations, when God saves us, there is no form of repayment required from us.Support th...

Have you ever tried to talk to someone who wouldn’t listen, teach someone who didn’t want to learn, or correct someone who preferred doing wrong? Maybe you've been the one who was unwilling to listen, learn, or make a change. Either way, the effect on the relationship was probably the same. It either stagnated or ended because where there is no humility, there can be no intimacy.Support the show

Episode 290: Psalm 22
Sometimes life spirals out of control, and no one seems to be there to help. When our earthly support system disappears, it can often feel like God has abandoned us, too. Being in the midst of a storm is hard, and feeling alone in that storm is even harder.In Psalm 22, David voices his frustrations about not feeling God in a moment of need. He also acknowledges that even though he feels abandoned, he isn’t, because God is still God and God is still good.Support the show
