193. What's Your Net Worth? LIVE from Twin Pines, PA.

This episode is a recording LIVE on-location teaching from host Sue Duffield to the women of the annual Mid-Week Ladies' Retreat at Twin Pines, Stroudsburg PA on May 2025. It's the second session in the series called "Revivify." Sue also shares personal reflection of her family, going back to her great-grandparents and their ministry.

Your earthly assets will never determine your value. God's promise of provision assures us that certain conditions will be fulfilled in obedience to Him. Never forget that you are His prized position, over all. God will take care of you just like He takes care of the lilies of the field.

1 John 3:22 "And whatever we ask, we receive of Him, because we keep His commandments and do what pleases Him."

John 15:7 "If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, ask whatever you widh, and it will be done for you."

John 14:13-14 "Whatever you ask in My name, this I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you as Me anything in My name, I will do it."

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:

1. What's in my life that has become stagnant, dry, or even dead?
2. How do I even know if I'm "dead" to the Living Word?
3. What are the things that keep me dead, isolated or out of contact with the Holy Spirit?
4. 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.”

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," A Blessing Is In It
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).

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.

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?" (What Not To Wear!)

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!"

183. A Fireside Chat with Toni Campbell

This spontaneous and engaging conversation with speaker/author, Toni Campbell 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, Lakeside Lessons. In 2012, she received Mercer County’s Woman of Achievement Award (in NJ) for her outreach work.

After reading The Externally Focused Church, Toni was so challenged by the concepts it presented that she began an outreach ministry at her church as a volunteer leader. That experience is the basis for her book, Jesus Has Left the Building: The Nitty-Gritty of Creative Church Outreach. It takes the time-consuming guesswork out of church outreach planning with step-by-step nitty-gritty details along with fine-tuning tips to ensure that you won’t have to reinvent the wheel in outreach efforts.

183. 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.

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.

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
