Marvin Nemitz Podcast

There are some people in life that are worth learning from. Dietrich Bonhoeffer is one of those people. He was a true hero of WW 2. A champion of people. A lover of God and a truly deep thinker. Books have been written about him. Movies have been made and deservedly so. He was brave, courageous and put action to what he believed. Today we are going to look at a few of his quotes together.

This year our Nation celebrates its 249th Birthday. I love our country. This is, in my opinion, the greatest nation in the History of the world. I am proud to be an American. Our nation has been blessed because we founded our country on the principles found in the Word of God. Someone said - "If America ever ceases to be good, she will cease to be great!"Most republics, and America is a...

Studies tell us that a great majority of us are living stressed out. Stress is pressure. It can be self-imposed or inflicted on us by others. Stress is worry, fear, feeling overwhelmed or mental tension. God desires to stretch us to make us stronger and form our character. Stress is built to deform us not to shape us into something good. There is a quote that I found the other day that is really g...

Life is hard. All of us deal with difficulties and trials. All around us negative things are happening. If we are not careful the negative can get inside of us. Negativity has been ingrained into our society. Complaining, gossiping in all of its many forms, can become the normal in our lives if we allow it. Negativity is an itch that wants to be scratched. The insidious thing is that the more you...

Many people are going through life and serving Jesus just going through the motions. Life is much more than that. We were never called to fake it until you make it. We are to live life and serve God, authentically and naturally. Life is not a performance. Ministry is not a performance. There are days when the best we can do is to simply put one foot in front of the other. That is honesty. The long...

There is a direct correlation between choosing a life of humility and walking in the favor of the Lord. We live in a culture of self-promotion, clicks, likes views. We are conditioned to live for ourselves and not for others. Jesus told His disciples that the one who is the greatest is the one who becomes as the lest, that to be great in God's Kingdom we are to be the servant of ALL. In this w...

There is something to be said about going the distance. There is something to be said about doing some thing for a. long time. This is true of marriage, a job or any worthy endevour. Anyone can do somthing for a little while. There is something admirable about sticking around and sticking it out and seeng something through. To go through the thick and the thin. The good and the bad, the highs and...

We live in a culture on the go. Always. We don't sit still well or for very long. God created us with a need to be still. As a matter of fact, stillness is one of the ways that we get to know God. Stillness is where we rest. Stillness is where we are able to think and process life. Stillness is where we are able to take in beauty. Do you purposefully take time to be still? I know I sure need t...

We need to lean to navigate Detours slow things down but they also take us on a route that we would not normally travel. We need to learn how to navigate the four D's that are a fact of life.

There are things that will enhance the relationship with your spouse and there are things that will damage your marriage. If you neglect certain things long enough you can kill it. A great marriage never happens by accident. Never! It takes...

Wouldn't it be great if life was easy? Have you ever had life through you a curve ball that you were not expecting? Sometimes life catches you off guard. You are living life.

Have you ever had questions for God? Have you ever just wanted to ask Him why? Of course you have. Many of us were taught that we should "never question God." If that is true then how are we to ever know things from Him? God Himself tells us to Ask, Seek and Knock. Asking God questions is not a lack of faith. It actually takes great faith to believe that you can ask Him questions (Anythi...

Did you know that God uses Sarcasm. There are some people who believe that sarcasm is evil. This is not true. Sarcasm is a fantastic way to communicate. like all communication it is how you use it and the intent behind it and the content of what is being said. I believe that this will be a podcast that we can enjoy together.

Have you ever been lost? I mean really lost. Have you ever lost your child? The panic and fear that sets in is remarkable. Being lost and knowing that you are lost is a scary thing. The Bible tells us that Jesus came to seek and to save the lost. There are two types of people who are lost - Those who know that they are lost and those who have no idea that they are lost. Either way they are lost. A...

People are looking for strong people. Those who can shoulder responsibility. Those who are emotionally strong. Those who are able to carry burdens and to help solve problems. We all need people to that we can look to when we are weak and need help. The Bible tells us that WE are to carry one another's burdens. WE are stronger together.

This assault has left men weakened and women and children vulnerable. This podcast is a challenge to both men and women. Let men be men! Men of God, Gentlemen, leaders, defenders and providers.

The good news is that Jesus understands the impact that this has on our lives. He experienced it himself. This podcast will take a deep look at rejection and how to receive healing.

Selfishness, we see it all around us and if we are honest, we see it in ourselves. Selfishness is epidemic in our society. We are a ME First people. This is what comes natural to us. Looking out for # one. One of the great Biblical truths is that the first shall be last and the last shall be first. To be great we must be a servant of all. God calls us to be a people of love.

All of us are fighting battles. What we do not realize many times is the source of those battles. Many of them are spiritual in nature. The good news is that we have victory through Jesus!

In this weeks podcast we are discussing the fact that we are of great worth. The Bible speaks to us about the need not to worry because of how valuable that we are to God. Do you realize the intrinsic worth that God sees in you? Through the many experiences of life and interactions with people it is easy sometimes to lose sight of the worth that God places on us and sees in us. This is not just an...

Success and Failure. It is interesting how the Church has come to see these two ideas the same way that those without Jesus do. Jesus never called us to be successful. He called us to be faithful. The only way as a Christian that we can be labeled a failure is if we unfaithful to what God has called us to do and be. Satan uses the metrics of the world to defeat us in our thinking and emotions in o...

All of us deal with those dark nights of the soul from time to time. For some of us it is a short duration. For others it is an extended struggle. It is good to know that we are in good company when we do. Many of the those who are strong in faith deal with depression. David, Paul, Peter. Even the great preacher Charles Spurgeon. This podcast is a reminder that God cares and that many times there...

Truth is important. Without it there is no certainty. Jesus said that "you shall know the truth and the truth will make you free". Jesus also said. " I am the way the truth and the life." Truth is not subjective. It is what it is. There has been an assault on the idea of truth for some time now. Today we are going to look at this idea of truth. What it is, what it is not and ho...
