Suebiquitous Podcast
FUNNY may not always be a word associated with faith-based podcasts, but host Sue Duffield’s outrageous and humorous view of life just might be the silly salve you need. Her co-host and musician-techie husband, Jeff Duffield, joins her on many of these episodes for the benevolent bantering of sideshow antics, along with his own personal black and white view of everything. The “Suebiquitous Podcast” (a spoonerism of Sue and ubiquitous) pretty much describes her all-over-the-place, gray area crazy life -- full of eccentricities. Special guests also are frequent and add incredible insight and hope for Christians world-wide.

192. Revivify! Resurrect Those Dry Bones
Celebrating our fifth season of the Suebiquitous Podcast with host Sue Duffield, starts with a newness of heart, mind, soul and body. Revivify, the word, means "to bring new life" to something that is dead or in need of a resurrection. One of the Bible’s most incredible statements is "..that the same Spirit who raised Christ from the dead now lives in us.." (Romans 8:11). Just that message alone should ignite whatever is dead in you, to come alive. Take a few minutes after listening to this episode and ask yourself these questions: What's in my life that has become stagnant, dry, or even dead? How do I even know if I'm "dead" to the Living Word? What are the things that keep me dead, isolated or out of contact with the Holy Spirit? Know this: It's a simple as asking. Then take your stand for Christ and get those bones moving! Matthew 18: 19-20 reminds us, “If two of you agree here on earth concerning anything you ask, my Father in heaven will do it for you. For where two or three gather together as my followers, I am there among them.” "Revive Us Again", by Jeff & Sue Duffield/Hymphonic Album BMI ©2012 Available on iTunes, Amazon Music, Spotify and

191. Susan Piper's Story (From Fame-seeking Songwriter to Nursing Home Music Minister)
Host Sue Duffield's guest, Susan Piper, is a Christian singer, song and story writer who spends her days in nursing homes, wielding a guitar with her right hand and pushing her Havanese pup in a stroller with her left, continually being ministered to by the ones she seeks to serve. Sue met Piper at a Christian conference almost twenty-five years ago, and that meeting made quite an impression on both. Piper sings and speaks for retreats, women's luncheons, family events and church outreaches. Her new book, "A Blessing Is In It", contains the God-journey and stories of this once alcoholic to creative communicator of the gospel. "I visit them but they open their hearts to me. I ask them about their lives and they tell me their stories; sometimes it’s the same story again, but it is so important it bears retelling. I knock and they are glad to see me. I offer myself as a stranger and they welcome me in without question. If the hymn is worthy of tears they cry; it was their mother’s favorite, it was played at their daughter’s funeral. They don’t or can’t hide their feelings, they are who they are. They follow me down the hall; they say they were sad before I came and please come again because I’ve made their day. They have done more than that for me. They’ve changed my life. Excerpt from "He Leadeth Me," By Susan Piper

190. The Safety Valve and Lima Bean Skins!
Do you even remember the sound that a pressure cooker used to make? It was a definitive rattling sound; one that could never be mistaken for anything else. This episode lovingly merges the humorous effects of a faulty pressure cooker and the warning of morning sickness during pregnancy. In industrial settings, the safety valve release mechanism is crucial for averting all kinds of potential disasters, making them an indispensable component in various settings, especially in the high-stakes fields of oil, gas, and chemical processing. But who would know that (spiritually) the safety valve could be also a metaphor for protection when it comes to walking with and serving God. Lots to process here, but it's a fun yet informative way to process His love for us. The need for physical safety pales in comparison to the universal need for spiritual safety. One may be in great danger in this world of physical harm and still have the assurance of an eternity of security in heaven. We fear not those who can only harm the body yet never touch the soul (Matthew 10:28). www.childfund.org/sueduffield

186. The Christmas Creep (Merry Merger, Everyone!)
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 desire to report the "facts" with humor, making light of subjects that aren't so funny. There’s no question that there's a definitive persuasion in consumerism. And the big tech companies pushing this during the holidays, know how gullible American's can be. As Christians, take the time to "let the REAL merger begin, with your Savior's heart in yours." That's the best high-tech merger of all. www.sueduffield.com

185. Almost Ugly Sweater Time! (A Message On Divine Fashion and Design)
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 original devotion from Sue Duffield's blog and teaching, formerly entitled, "Who's Your Fashion Designer?"

184. The Introvert-Extrovert Exchange
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 women's ministry leaders as well as singers and speakers, on how best to "read" their crowd. This episode is her notes from a recent interactive workshop on the topic, "How to be Real Without Killing Everyone Around You!" www.sueduffield.com (Books mentioned on this episode:) "Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can't Stop Talking" by Susan Cain "The Introvert’s Edge: How the Quiet and Shy Can Outsell Anyone" by Matthew Pollard and Derek Lewis "Everyone Communicates Few Connect" by John C.

This spontaneous and engaging conversation with speaker/author, and host, Sue Duffield, is a delightful outcome when two Jersey girls get together to share their hearts, their passion for ministry and their love for reaching their communities for Jesus. Toni has over a decade of experience in commercial writing. She taught "Writing for Radio/TV" at a local community college for five years and is as comfortable in front of a microphone as she is behind a keyboard, which is where she has spent much of her time writing the book and blog, . In 2012, she received Mercer County’s Woman of Achievement Award (in NJ) for her outreach work.

182. The Broken Piano Speaks
"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 piano speaks today. It's really a Master-P-E-A-C-E. wwwsueduffield.com

181. Singing Through Grief (Tribute to the Nelons)
Everyone in Christian music, no matter the level of friendship or acquaintance, has been greatly affected by the tragic loss of Jason Clark, Kelly Nelon Clark, and their daughter Amber and their son-in-law, Nathan Kistler. The plane crash also took the lives of the pilot and his wife, Larry and Melissa Haynie, as well as Melodi Hodges. This has been one of the most devastating losses in the Christian community in quite a while. This episode is a casual unrehearsed dialogue between host Sue Duffield and her husband, Jeff, telling their personal history and long-time friendship with Kelly. Through all stages of grief, music (especially inspirational music) can be an effective medium to meet individuals wherever they are in their healing of the grief process. There's no doubt that many, including the Duffields, understand the power of God's word in song, as it is a literal balm of Gilead - healing the sick and grief-stricken soul. www.sueduffield.com

180. One Generation Away

180. One Generation Away
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 personally, and has every hope that she can still be an encouragement and influencer when it comes to LIVING the gospel before her grandchildren (and other young people). She's reminded of the role God has assigned to her (much like her grandparents) and that's to pursue His loving wisdom. And even if she's questioned, provoked or challenged, she'll consistently know what her role is, and that’s to love her children and grandchildren no matter what and to let them see Jesus more than ever in everything she does. Take this episode walk with Joshua in Judges 2:7 & 8, Judges 2:10, and Judges 2:19. A generation lost! It was Joshua’s generation that walked away and it happened in the span of just one single generation, not three. To top it all, this was a generation who had personally witnessed miraculous signs and wonders and unbelievable victories. Yet they still walked away.

179. Carol McLeod: A Voice of Hope
Carol McLeod’s 17th book, "Overflowing: Living Abundantly in a Broken Culture", inspires readers to embrace a life of abundance and joy, regardless of their current circumstances. Filled with biblical wisdom, practical advice, and personal stories, this seven-week study of the book of Colossians helps readers shift their perspectives in order to live a life filled with purpose and joy. According to Carol, “Every generation has been invited to live fully and enthusiastically in Christ, despite the lies and brokenness of their culture.” This episode takes a divine leap when host Sue Duffield and Carol McLeod get past the potential facade of a scripted-like interview, and move towards a more vulnerable and Holy Spirit-led interaction. Loving difficult people and loving adult children takes on a whole new meaning when Carol says, "Loving those difficult people should bring out Jesus in us." Carol also shares about her dad and his simple devout faith, teaching her to love the Word of God as a young child. But the highlight of this episode happens when Carol tells her story about Corrie ten Boom's coat and the impression it had on her. It is truly an experience that's worth more than gold. Much like putting on the coat of a true heroine of the faith, God's Word can also be like that cloak or covering when going to battle. "You can make it through hard times; even battling infertility, or losing babies, or depression, or cancer and even having hope with prodigal children. The Word of God will fight for you and help you through this battle." - Carol McLeod www.sueduffield.com

178. Raise Your Standard of Giving
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 off-the-cuff episode, fun as it is, is just a simple reminder that God is NOT a respector of persons, nor is He selective in who He positions for favor. The bottom line is obedience, then being ready to receive and ask God for open doors to benefit others. Becoming that funnel and channel of blessing is absolutely fun! mailto:[email protected]

176. Bought With A Much Higher Price
The stakes are high when it comes to travel, safety and putting yourself out there on the road. Sue Duffield, along with her husband Jeff, start off this episode with a little update on the hard price of traveling the highways, the bi-ways and the oh-so-crazy ways of unforseen circumstances. Being t-boned at an intersection not long after falling on the pavement at the post office, put a little apprehension into Sue's style of always being confident and jovial. But yet, somehow she seems to find her "ground" again (in a good way!), and is very thankful that her recent debacles weren't a whole lot worse. The devotion of "The Price Is Right" follows their dialogue, describing the horrific sex trafficking industry and Sue's personal account of seeing it first hand. Children for sale? Not on her watch. The travesty is that girls and boys are sold and it's becoming worse with every day. Jesus paid the ultimate sacrifice for every soul born into this world, and THAT price - when it comes to being sold - is right. Sue ends with her song, "The Price is Right", written in 2011 for ®Duffield Music, BMI (used with permission) “He has made everything beautiful and appropriate in its time."

175. How's Your Balance?
Jeff & Sue Duffield are as unpredictably predictable in just about everything they are and everything they do! This episode starts out with the typical banter of two people who do just about everything together, but are as opposite as night and day in so many things. Jeff's production and orchestration opportunities are flourishing and building every day, while Sue has had some down time recently to recharge, reboot and balance out her life a bit.. Balance, in definition, is "an even distribution of weight enabling someone or something to remain upright and steady..", which is kind of funny when this particular episode starts out with recounting Sue's recent tumble on the pavement at the post office. But when it comes to balance and the walk of life of every Christian, be it like Sue to merge the physical with the spiritual. The four lessons that Jesus taught her during a month-long journey of seeking balance, just might apply to you too.

After receiving an email from a woman who described her difficulties with her husband, her finances and her whole disposition, Sue Duffield (host) reads on to see how much God made a difference in this woman's life after a recent church service setting where little was spoken about marriage, finances or even depresion. It may come to a surprise to some worship leaders, Christian singers and even pastors - whatever YOU think might work in a worship service or church event to inspire, doesn't always change lives. In fact, it's quite certain that the Holy Spirit (if given room) will do more for the atmosphere of worship than any planned or pre-programmed style of agenda or order of service. And here's one example.. where God took over, and nothing else mattered. www.sueduffield.com

When we ask God to forgive us, His forgiveness comes not because we say, “I will do better”, but only on the basis of what Jesus did on the cross. No matter how awful we've been, the blood of Jesus is ENOUGH to cleanse, purify and save you...kind of like scattering your sin, covering your heart and smothering you with His goodness!

We know God is in control. We know He is able to heal, but right in the middle of the messy and the painful, many of us tell God what we believe to be our own carnal truth: We don’t always understand His love or His mercy in stressful times, and often that’s when our faith is severely tested. Your story isn't over. God’s not finished with your story just yet. No matter what. For the year of 2024, host Sue Duffield will be teaching and training women HOW to write their own faith story. This will happen at a few retreats that she'll be speaking for this year. And just because we start writing our faith story, doesn’t mean life is over - in fact it’s quite the opposite! Our faith story is progressing every day and with an open-ended story, we can be hopeful that God will carry you until its completion. “I am sure of this, that He who started a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.” Philippians 1:6 www.sueduffield.com

But there's also another kind of order too. And with a little levity and inspiration, this episode may just become a favorite for 2023. If you want to grow in your faith, you must step into the divine ordering of things for your life. You must, by the Spirit of God, walk in the divine ordering of things so that your life will forever be joined to a God of order. Be encouraged, that even today has it’s roots in yesterday’s ordering of misalignment or failure. It also has the synchrony of many faith-filled days prior, to get you through the most difficult assignment of this very day. www.sueduffield.com

Host 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. [email protected]

163. The Greater Good
When God promises that we will lack no good thing, He means we will lack nothing that would bring us more of God. We will have absolutely everything that will bring us more of God. But disappointment is rampid right now, even among believers and leaders within the church. It's as if we've given ourselves permission to "assume" that everything WILL go our way, if we do everything right. But that's not always the case. This episode with host, Sue Duffield, shares how the feelings of inadequacy and disappointment is one of the enemy's greatest tools to keep you from doing God’s will. We surely don’t have to complicate it any more. Do the work of the Father; be diligent in learning and reading and rubbing shoulders with the ones who champion you, and realize that disappointment was never in God’s plan for you. Be ready for the greater good. [email protected]
