186. The Christmas Creep (Merry Merger, Everyone!)
Suebiquitous Podcast
The phrase “Christmas Creep,” is defined as the tendency for Christmas products, decorations, and advertising to be displayed earlier each year. We see this more and more every year as soon as summer is over. With tongue-in-cheek, Sue Duffield starts off this episode with a little "merger musing", with the fictional possibilities of combining Christmas and Hanukkah into a new holiday called, "Chrismukkah!" Sue's broadcasting career in reporting news, community events and cultural happenings, goes way back to her early days in radio in the 90s. She continues to find an insatiable...

185. Almost Ugly Sweater Time! (A Message On Divine Fashion and Design)
Suebiquitous Podcast
Globally, and not just Hollywood, we have an insatiable appetite for all things celebrity and an even bigger appetite to emulate the perceived lives of famous people and what fashion they wear. It's good to realize it's all a manufactured plan to get you to buy their stuff because of their "name brand", and to get your money too.. There is power in a name. There is nothing more important for any of us to hear than for God to call OUR name. What Jesus received by right, we are invited to receive by grace. Your name brand has everything to do with whose name you represent. This is an...

Suebiquitous Podcast
Are you an introvert or an extrovert? Your answer could be pretty simple, but there’s a lot more to the introvert vs. extrovert world than just the popular distinction of being quiet or loud. While no one is a one hundred percent introvert or extrovert, understanding the differences between the two can help you determine how best to connect and communicate. Host, Sue Duffield, has made it her choice and study to watch how people interact and relate with each other. She was featured in John C. Maxwell's book, "Everyone Communicates, Few Connect" and has also offered counsel and guidance to...

182. The Broken Piano Speaks
Suebiquitous Podcast
"Everything old is new again." Maybe. Sue Duffield is fairly poetically minded and you'd probably never know this, unless you dig deep into the archives of her computer. On this episode, Sue uncovers an unfinished prose song, with its timely sentiments only a dusty songwriter would comprehend. Sue's original phrase, "Once what was orchestral and agreeable becomes dissonant and unmusical”, goes much deeper than just music. It’s the soul-wretch of knowing only God can transform, and only God gets the glory when the finished masterpiece is reconditioned, retouched and redeemed. The broken...

180. One Generation Away
Suebiquitous Podcast
It's very easy to see that we are literally one generation away from losing the faith and Christian influence of our predecessors - the ones who took great risk and hardship to stand firm for the Gospel of Jesus. In America, a major poll indicated that two-thirds of young people will leave the church once they live on their own. And not only are they leaving the church, they're leaving their God-infused lifestyles that was so practiced in their homes as children. Host Sue Duffield takes a deep dive and risk here, to talk about how we have no one to blame but ourselves. She takes it on...

178. Raise Your Standard of Giving
Suebiquitous Podcast
Most will say that when God prospers, it's then you can raise the standard of living. Not so in the Duffield's case. Raising the standard of "giving" has become the ultimate joy for them and It literally has become a thrill of a journey to be able to bless others as God blesses them. The act of giving triggers a natural release of endorphins in our brains, making us feel happier, called, and more fulfilled. The connection with others that comes from fulfilling a need or blessing someone who isn't expecting it, deepens a sense of unity and compassion within our communities. This...
info_outlineHost Sue Duffield is presented with the question often, "Aren’t you just too busy? How do you do all the travel, the conferences, the podcasts (4), recording, the followup with events - let alone spend quality time with those you love, etc. etc.?"
And to that she usually responds, "I dunno." But her gauge is always IF she's too busy doing what she loves or feels called to do, and IF she falls into anyone of those five definitive categories mentioned in this episode, then maybe it IS time to take a good look at the difference between busyness and productivity.
Take time to reflect, rejuvenate and even resusitate yourself if you have to, but always be aware that if you're doing way too much, your body and your LORD will always tell you!
Sue discusses five key points that are almost full-proof if you feel like you're doing WAY too much. If your relationship with God suffers at the expense of you going non-stop, then that's the only proof you need to know. It's time to do something about it.
