Auxano

Ps. Wisdom Sablah

Auxano is a faith-centered community devoted to spiritual growth, renewal, and purposeful living.

The name Auxano is a Hebrew word meaning growth, increase, and becoming better — a powerful reflection of the vision behind this gathering. Inspired by scriptures such as Luke 2:40 and Colossians 1:10, this podcast is a space where believers are encouraged to grow stronger in spirit, deepen in wisdom, and increase in the knowledge of God.

Many of us love God and desire to walk closely with Him, yet life’s pressures can sometimes dim our spiritual flame. Auxano exists to rekindle that fire. Through prayer, teaching, sharing, and pastoral guidance, each episode creates an opportunity for revival, strengthening, and transformation.

Every session reflects our heartbeat:

Pray. Learn. Grow.

Join us weekly as we seek God together, grow in faith, and step boldly into the purpose He has called us to fulfill.

    The Blessing Of Being Young

    In this episode, we explore the incredible blessing and distinct advantages of being young. While youth is often met with criticism or underestimated by others, the scriptures highlight it as a season of immense strength, vision, and potential that should be embraced rather than despised. We dive deep into the Word to see how God historically chooses and empowers young people—from David and Joseph to Timothy and Mary—to accomplish great things. By understanding the unique gifts of youth, such as physical energy, the capacity for vision, and the flexibility to make pivotal decisions, you can learn to leverage this season for God's glory. Finally, we discuss practical ways to maximize your youth: seeking godly counsel, writing down your vision, bearing the "yoke" of discipline, and cultivating a deep relationship with your Creator early in life. Don't waste your strength on worry; instead, rejoice in this brief, powerful season and become an inspiring example of faith. Key Points - Youth is a divine blessing characterized by strength, energy, passion, and the courage to take risks. - Young people are uniquely positioned for vision, which should be captured, written down, and actively pursued. - The season of youth is the ultimate time to bear the yoke of discipline and build a solid foundation. - Making critical life decisions in youth requires patience, prayer, and a willingness to seek wise counsel. - God has a rich history of choosing and using young people to lead, prophesy, and impact nations. - Knowing and serving the Lord early in life saves you from future regrets and sets a standard for others to follow. Notable Quotes - "The glory of young men is in their strength." (Proverbs 20:29) - "Remember now thy Creator in the days of your youth." (Ecclesiastes 12:1) - "Rejoice, oh young man, in your youth." (Ecclesiastes 11:9)

    How To Work On Yourself

    Have you ever told yourself, "I need to work on myself," but struggled to find a structured path forward? In this practical episode, we explore a step-by-step biblical guide to true personal transformation. Rather than dealing with vague desires or surface-level symptoms, we learn how to identify specific areas of struggle and trace them back to their root causes. The key to lasting change lies in a "word diet"—saturating our minds with the Scriptures to displace old mindsets and relying heavily on the Holy Spirit's guidance. From practicing forgiveness to setting healthy timelines, this episode provides actionable advice to help you transition from a struggling "caterpillar phase" into the beautiful "butterfly phase" of your life. Key Points - Identify what you need to work on in very specific terms rather than generalities. - Write down your challenges in a journal to clarify your thoughts and actions. - Trace behaviors back to their roots to understand the upbringing or events that shaped them. - Commit to a "word diet" by consistently meditating on and feeding on the Word of God. - Depend completely on the Holy Spirit to guide your specific actions and bring healing. - Talk to Godly people, shepherds, or pastors who can serve as a sounding board and offer counsel. - Set realistic timelines to challenge yourself and measure your progress. Notable Quotes - "The first key to working on yourself is identifying specifically, identifying specifically what you need to work on." - "write down the vision, make it plain, that he may run that he that readeth it may run" (Habakkuk 2:2) - "the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts." (Romans 5:5) - "But we all, with open faces, beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory." (2 Corinthians 3:18) - "You can talk about therapy, you can talk about motivational speaking, you can talk about... but nothing has the power of transformation like the word of God."

    Building Healthy and Godly Friendships

    Friendships play an incredibly crucial role in determining the quality of our lives. In this episode, we delve into the foundation of building healthy, godly, and lifelong friendships. We explore how God is a God of relationships and why friendship is woven into every facet of our lives, from our walk with Him to our marriages, parenting, and business partnerships.\n\nTrue friendship goes beyond having a large social circle of acquaintances or cheerleaders. We examine the biblical model of friendship shown by David and Jonathan, defining what a covenant friend truly looks like: someone who loves deeply, stands loyal through every season, offers wise counsel, and is willing to make sacrifices.\n\nLastly, we discuss the potential pitfalls that can destroy healthy connections, including the dangers of gossip and "whisperers" who drive wedges between close friends. Learn how to be a friendly person while carefully choosing those you welcome into your inner circle of covenant friendship. Key Points - Friendship is a fundamental aspect of human life and is woven into our relationships with God, family, and marriage. - A true friend is someone who loves deeply, remains loyal through all seasons, and seeks your ultimate good. - Scriptural examples like David and Jonathan illustrate that covenant friendship is built on deep love, commitment, and mutual sacrifice. - Wise counsel and constructive correction are essential components of healthy, growth-oriented friendships. - A healthy friendship is a two-way street that requires transparency, active involvement, and mutual effort. - Beware of gossip and whisperers, which are major forces that tear apart close relationships. Notable Quotes - "Jesus: Now, I call you friends." (John 15:15) - "God: the seed of Abraham, my friend." (Isaiah 41:8) - "The Shulamite lady: This is my beloved, my friend." - "a friend loves at all times." (Proverbs 17:17) - "Jesus: greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one's life for his friends." (John 15:13)

    What You Should Do When You Feel Anxious

    In this episode, we explore how to deal with feelings of anxiety and worry that threaten to rob us of our peace. Whether we are worrying about the future or carrying the weight of past mistakes, anxiety can leave us feeling divided, overwhelmed, and pulled in different directions. Through understanding the biblical concept of merimnao, we see how carrying these heavy mental burdens affects our stability and faith. Thankfully, God has not left us helpless. Drawing from the teachings of Jesus in Matthew 6 and the apostle Paul in Philippians 4, we are given a clear, divine template for handling anxiety. By choosing not to let worry linger, turning all our concerns into prayer, remembering God's past faithfulness, and fixing our minds on what is pure and true, we can experience a peace that guards our hearts and minds. Key Points - Anxiety (the Greek word 'merimnao') represents carrying a mental weight that is too heavy for us, or being divided and pulled in different directions. - Worry does not add anything to our lives; instead, it subtracts our joy, peace, and confidence. - We must make a conscious decision not to allow anxious thoughts to linger, channeling them into planning and prayer instead of endless worry. - Remembering God's past faithfulness anchors our hearts and reminds us that He has always been our helper. - The biblical antidote to anxiety is to pray about everything, telling God our needs and thanking Him for what He has done. - We must actively cultivate our minds like a garden, rejecting destructive thoughts and fixing our minds on what is true, pure, and lovely. Notable Quotes - "Anxiety is a very terrible thing because it creates despair and a loss of hope concerning the future." - "Do not be anxious for anything. Do not be anxious for anything." (Philippians 4:6) - "Worry doesn't add, worry always subtracts. Worry always leaves you more troubled, more fearful, more discouraged." - "That is why I tell you not to worry about everyday life, whether you have enough food and drink or enough clothes to wear." (Matthew 6:25) - "Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, live righteously, and he will give you everything you need." (Matthew 6:33) - "Instead, pray about everything." (Philippians 4:6)

    How To Deal With Rejection

    Rejection is an inevitable part of life, but it does not have to define your future. In this episode, we explore the reality of rejection, drawing from the lives of biblical figures like Joseph, David, and Jesus, who all faced deep rejection before stepping into their divine destinies. We unpack the reasons behind rejection—whether it stems from others' misunderstanding, jealousy, or even our own mistakes—and learn how to respond with grace. By refusing bitterness and choosing forgiveness, we allow God to turn our painful setbacks into powerful redirection and growth. Ultimately, what feels like rejection is often God's protection, preparation, or promotion. Discover the comforting truth that you are fully accepted in the beloved, and learn how the very stone the builders rejected can become the chief cornerstone in your life. Key Points - Rejection is a normal and guaranteed part of the human experience, faced even by the greatest figures of faith. - People often reject others out of misunderstanding, fear, jealousy, or feeling threatened by their success. - When rejection stems from our own mistakes, we should view it honestly as a valuable learning opportunity. - Maintaining a faithful attitude, refusing bitterness, and practicing forgiveness are essential responses to rejection. - Rejection frequently serves a divine purpose, acting as God's preparation, protection, or promotion. - Our ultimate identity is secure because we have been completely accepted by God through Jesus Christ. Notable Quotes - "What you may call rejection may be God's redirection, God's redirection." - "You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good to accomplish what is now being done, the saving of many lives." (Genesis 50:20) - "the stone that the builders rejected has become the chief cornerstone." (Psalm 118:22) - "having predestined us to the adoption as sons by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will, to the praise of the glory of his grace, by which he has made us accepted." (Ephesians 1:5-6) - "He is despised and rejected of men, a man of sorrows and acquainted with grief, and we hid as it were our faces from him." (Isaiah 53:3)
