Podcasts about appetites

Hello to you listening in Charlottesville, Virginia! Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with 60 Seconds for Motivate Your Monday and your host, Diane Wyzga. Here's the thing: I've hit The Dip. That place in most creative endeavors where you look around and wonder: Does anybody care? Does my work matter? What am I doing and for whom? Believe it or not, The Dip is a precious time. Now you get to dig deep and consider what's it for, who's it for, where is it needed? Not everyone wants or needs what you have to offer; but someone does! Lots of someones. Some years ago I was working as a shepherd at a fiber farm on the outskirts of Charlottesville, Virginia. Our neighbor raised organic goats for meat. Joe sold the meat to customers from the D.C Beltway area who knew a good thing and were happy to pay for it. But Joe wanted more. He was ready to venture out and teach people about the value of eating what he raised: organic food, sustainable, humanely harvested, no junk, and lots of pasture to graze. But where to go? He fixes up an old school bus as a traveling kitchen and visits each and every state and local fair in Virginia. Why? People go to fairs to eat food! But not his food. Fairs offer a lot of cheap fried food: onion blossoms, corn dogs, curly cut fries. Joe is offering 3 items: organic goat kabobs, organic goat curry and an organic goat skillet burger with all the fixins. While his prices are in keeping with what he's trying to sell, they are several times more than the competition at the fair. The food is foreign. No one will eat it except on a dare. Now what? Instead of lowering his prices or changing venues Joe decides to dig in and work on changing attitudes and appetites. At each fairgrounds he stands outside the mobile kitchen and shares his story: why goats, where they are pastured, who takes care of them, how they live, what makes this meat special, and why it's worth it. He prints up a flyer with his story and hands that out, too. Person by person the story draws them in, the goat meat dinners keep them there. It took time but he believed in what he was doing and for whom he was doing it. If this is you here's a tip from Joe:  “Some will. Some won't. Who's next?” As I repeat Joe's words I'm working my way out of The Dip. “Come for the stories; stay for the magic!”   CTA: If you want the story that will change minds, attitudes, behaviors, let's work together.  You're always welcome: "Come for the stories - Stay for the magic!"

Hell is murky. Today we enter limbo, which is technically the least painful section of hell but actually leaves me with some of the toughest questions in the poem. What does Dante make--what do Christians in general make--of all the noble, wise, and humane people who apparently lived outside the reach of Christ? Were they outside His reach? Are human virtues enough to save us? If so, why aren't we doing better?? Dante, in his characteristic way, rachets these questions up to 11 and then moves through them subtly, confoundingly, and above all, beautifully. His poetry leads us to contemplate what it might look like for God's justice and God's mercy to become one.

Lower prices are unlocking the next leg of GLP-1 growth Several years ago, the bullish case for GLP-1 penetration hinged on lower pricing and the availability of oral options-both of these have materialized over the past 18 months. Yet we remain early in the oral GLP-1 ramp, and pricing continues to adjust downward, suggesting ample runway for unit growth in these weight-loss therapies. Peter Galbo discusses the impact on food and beverage we've observed at today's ~10% penetration levels and what may lie ahead, especially as Jason Gerberry outlines where penetration could ultimately land and the improvements expected in side-effect profiles. We also examine intensifying competition within the GLP-1 landscape, as well as the packaged food and beverage segments most at risk-or best positioned to benefit-alongside areas where potential upside may be overstated   You may also enjoy listening to the Merrill Perspectives podcast, featuring conversations on the big stories, news and trends affecting your everyday financial life.   "Bank of America" and “BofA Securities” are the marketing names for the global banking businesses and global markets businesses (which includes BofA Global Research) of Bank of America Corporation.

ABANDON ALL HOPE, YE WHO ENTER HERE: We've made it at last to the gates of hell, and we're on our way to the river of Acheron. On the way, we'll meet the "neutrals" and the cowards—those who never lived and have no names. From here on out, the poem becomes a horror movie. But in this episode, I want to show you just how deep the horror goes. Worms and flames are just the beginning: it's the spiritual deformities that the torments represent that make them truly chilling. Then, Dante goes off the chain in a set piece that establishes him as one of the all-time epic greats, as souls like fallen leaves come streaming down to the river of death.

From Matthew 5:4 - preached on Mother's Day and is a part of the Appetites, Addictions, and Afflictions series.

People often run away from God because we want to be free, but instead of freedom we find ourselves captured by our own passions. Appetites, fears, temper, envy, ambition, greed, lust, etc. rise up and take control. Every area of our personality is affected, but one of the deepest and most obvious areas is our sexuality. Over time our lusts cause us to do things with our bodies that have nothing to do with God's original purpose for giving us sexuality, which is reproduction (Ge 1 :28: "Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth...") and bonding by mutual desire and pleasure (Ge 24:67; 2Sa 12:24; Song of Solomon). The main subject of this passage is not sex. Paul is showing us the internal process which takes place when we walk away from God, in order to lead us toward a conclusion which he will state in chapter three (Ro 3:10-20). Humans aren't innocent victims. We're victims all right, but not innocent ones. Our sin comes from the rebellion which took place deep in our hearts. We make deliberate choices to be free from God's control. Paul doesn't tell us this to condemn us but to show us the path we must take when we're ready to come back. We must submit to the One who created us. Returning begins with submission because our problem began with rebellion. And though the main topic of this passage is not sex, no one could read it honestly and miss the point that God would certainly expect our submission to include bringing our sexuality back into His created purpose.

Jesus Followers Seek First God's Will, and then They “Die” to their Self-Ambitions and Self-Appetites and Take Up Their Cross MESSAGE SUMMARY: In a time in which we hear so much about self-help, self-image, and self-actualization, Jesus is saying self-denial is the way to life for Jesus Followers. Jesus tells us, in Matthew 16:24, that self-denial is a key element in following Him: “Then Jesus told his disciples, ‘If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me.'". “Taking up one's cross” means to die to self-ambitions and self-appetites. When we die to our self-ambitious and self-appetites, we put them on the cross; and  Jesus' life moves through us: “Not my will but Thy will.”. By denying self, we become alive in Jesus; and His Spirit flows through us – we experience eternal life and abundant life.     TODAY'S PRAYER: Most merciful God I confess that I have sinned against you in thought, word, and deed, by what I have done, and by what I have left undone.  I have not loved you with my whole heart; I have not loved my neighbors as myself. I am truly sorry and I humbly repent.  For the sake of your son Jesus Christ, have mercy on me and forgive me; that I might delight in your will, and walk in your ways, to the glory of Your Name. Amen.  TODAY'S AFFIRMATION: Today, Because of who I am in Jesus Christ, I will not be driven by Past Failures. Rather, I will abide in the Lord's Grace. “I am the vine; you are the branches. If a man remains in Me and I in him, he will bear much fruit; apart from Me you can do nothing.” (John 15:5).

Terrence invites us to honestly examine how we're living in our bodies, especially when our desires feel out of control. This message isn't about shame or behavior fixes, it's about God's mercy and real transformation. Drawing from Romans 7, he reminds us that there's an internal conflict within us, we often don't do what we want because of a deeper spiritual battle between the flesh and the Spirit. Our struggles with “unhinged appetites” are not random; they're shaped by our personal story…our wounds, experiences, and the beliefs we carry. Many of us cope by excusing or justifying these desires, but those responses keep us stuck rather than healed. And throughout Scripture, from Adam and Eve to David, we see how unhinged appetites can lead us away from God's best. Instead of ignoring or excusing these patterns, we're invited to: Acknowledge our story Take responsibility without excuses Step into the opportunity for transformation You don't have to stay stuck, God can bring healing and transformation, even in the places that feel hardest. He meets us with grace and begins to rewrite our story.

When it comes to thinking about the future of food, is it possible to re-imagine our individual and collective appetites around what we want it to be? Taste is subjective, sure, but it's also deeply embedded in the land, histories, politics, and sociocultural dynamics we navigate throughout our lives. And as my guest this week, Alicia Kennedy, writes, our tastes are also shaped by how we value (or don't value) ingredients and their own histories.  Alicia is a writer from Long Island. She is the author of No Meat Required: The Cultural History and Culinary Future of Plant-Based Eating, and On Eating: The Making and Unmaking of My Appetites, which is out officially as of today through Hachette. Her newsletter, From the Desk, covers food, culture, politics, and media, and she is launching Tomato Tomato, a literary journal of food writing, in 2026.  Alicia is back on the show today to speak about On Eating, exploring the process of weaving the personal and cultural histories of ingredients through her chapters, the interrogation of early appetites and their influence on her food writing, the dynamics of feminine appetites in food media, and the importance of properly considering the labour of growing and producing food as a way to unpack Western appetites.

Scripture: 1 Corinthians 10:1-13; John 6:30-51 Text: Heidelberg Catechism, Lord's Day 28 Theme: Remember that the word of Christ is the fullness and focus of His supper.

This powerful message takes us deep into the story of Esau and Jacob from Genesis 25, revealing a sobering truth about how our uncontrolled appetites can cost us everything we hold dear. We discover that Esau traded his birthright—his inheritance, leadership, and God's best plan for his life—for a simple bowl of stew in a moment of hunger. This ancient story becomes a mirror for our modern struggles, whether with pornography, alcohol, financial decisions, or emotional affairs. The sermon brilliantly connects the concept of the seven deadly sins to our God-given desires that, when left unchecked, become destructive forces. We learn that appetites for significance, provision, intimacy, and rest are all gifts from God, but without proper boundaries, they morph into pride, greed, lust, and sloth. The message doesn't leave us without hope, though. We're reminded that while sin always carries consequences and we may lose something we can never fully regain, God is still the God of second chances. Through the power of the Holy Spirit living within us, we can resist the temporary satisfaction of our 'bowl of stew' and hold onto the birthright God has planned for our lives.

Go deeper in the Stoic Vault: stoicvault.com---You read that line in the Discourses and your brain goes straight to cravings. Appetites. The stuff you're ashamed of. But that's not what Epictetus meant — and the real meaning is more useful than any advice about willpower.In this episode I break down the Greek word orexis, explain why it has nothing to do with food or your phone, and walk through the three levels most people get stuck on: the demand, the indifference, and the preference with reservation. Only one of them is Stoicism.I also share a personal story about driving to pick up my son on a difficult morning — and how I caught myself staking my entire peace on outcomes I couldn't control.Includes a practical exercise you can try today: one question to ask yourself the next time a plan falls through.

New Testament Sermons / Speaker:Berry Kercheville Freedom! Detachment from Sin Introduction: Romans 12:9 “Abhor what is evil; cleave to what is good.” How are you doing with that command? Please note, Paul's inspired command does not say, “Don't do what is evil,” it says, “Abhor it.” There are many temptations to sin that we try not to do and succeed in not doing, but that does not mean we abhor the sin. You will notice, the text contains an extreme contrast: “abhor” and “cleave” (“glue, weld together, adhere, attach oneself to”).  To the extent that we cleave/hold fast to what is good, the more we are able to abhor what is evil. The word detachment, though not specifically used, is a good description of the verse. The only way to abhor something is to become completely detached from it. Jesus said, “If anyone comes to me and does not hate his own father and mother and wife and children and brothers and sisters, yes, and even his own life, he cannot be my disciple” (Luke 14:26). Jesus admonition is, your love for him is to be so great, that to challenge that love or in any way suggest a competing love, should have a reaction of hate.  Matthew 6:25-33 Even though Jesus is dealing with things we need to live on this earth, notice how he turns our minds away from those needs to concentrate on the Kingdom and righteousness. Again, there is abhorring anxiousness in favor of seeking first the kingdom. The Battle with Our Desires Why are we tempted? Why does the desire seem so strong? We were created to seek inner fulfillment (Ecclesiastes 1:13-14 “And I applied my heart to seek and to search out by wisdom all that is done under heaven. It is an unhappy business that God has given to the children of man to be busy with. I have seen everything that is done under the sun, and behold, all is vanity and a striving after wind.”). Satan urges us to seek fulfillment with empty promises. The sin or diversion from God never meets up to the possibilities the mind has created. In fact, every time the sin is committed, it disappoints more than it did previously. We are using a person or a thing to fill an inner void which never can be filled apart from God. Look at it rationally, we can realize that these uncontrolled appetites damage us in two ways: They deprive us of enjoying God and what truly satisfies. These desires torment us and corrupt our minds until we are enslaved by them. The problem is: “It is extremely difficult to deny ourselves what we truly desire.” We may occasionally have success in overcoming our desires, but it is unlikely that we will consistently conquer those desires. What can be done?  What if we could rid ourselves of those appetites? If the appetite is extinguished, there will no longer be a desire to feed on those sinful pleasures. But is that possible? It is not possible to escape all temptation, but it is possible to no longer have an appetite for that which Satan tempts us.  That is exactly what God argues we can do (Colossians 3:1-7; Ephesians 4:17-24). In fact, did Jesus really want to jump off the temple, turn the stones to bread, or fall down and worship the devil? No! He conquers the temptation because his desire for the Father is intensely passionate beyond any other desire. Our problem and humanity's problem is that we think we can overcome by simply refusing a pleasure that our heart desires. We are trying to fix the wrong thing. It is the heart's desires that need fixing, not simply the will-power (Matt. 5:21-28). We will never be successful in fighting a sin if we do not stop the craving. The problem with our present cultural arguments:  Our culture celebrates their attractions/desires and identifies with them as special and so compelling that anything but fulfillment is unfair and cheating them out of a fulfilling life.  In regard to sexuality, regardless of one's sexual attractions, every human has had to deal with sexual sins and fight the desires of the mind.  God made us with desires! He also gave us right and wrong ways to fulfill the desires. All desires can partially be fulfilled now but ultimately fulfilled in eternity with the Lord — “You make known to me the path of life; in your presence there is fullness of joy; at your right hand are pleasures forevermore” (Psalm 16:11). God's argument in scripture is not that temptations to sin will go away, but that we are able to conquer those desires through Christ.  Genesis 4:7 “If you do well, will you not be accepted? And if you do not do well, sin is crouching at the door. Its desire is contrary to you, but you must rule over it.”  1 Corinthians 10:13 “No temptation has overtaken you that is not common to man. God is faithful, and he will not let you be tempted beyond your ability, but with the temptation he will also provide the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it.”  Every Earthly Desire Disappoints (Isaiah 55:1-3) Only God is a sure thing. Only God can and will provide for our emotional and physical needs. God intentionally made it this way!  But what do we do instead?  We follow the example of Eve. Satan convinced her that the tree could give her something more and better than what God gave her and would give her. That is the nature of every temptation. Subtly, this our default path to all our stresses, desires, and life's trials.  If a friendship, marriage, or family, spouse, child, or parent does not respond to our expectations to fulfill certain emotional or physical needs, we may react by lashing out, withdrawing, demanding, threatening, and in general becoming frustrated and miserable. We desperately need to understand that our demands of things and people ruin relationships, destroy joy and pleasure, and detach us from God. Let's say this plain and simple: When I expect an activity, a recreation, a job/career to fill my emptiness and give me what I believe is denied me in this life, I have created an idol. Whatever these unfulfilled desires are, they have become my Baal and my Asheroth—a substitute god to provide what I believe I deserve that the Lord God will not provide! When I expect my job or career to give me inner fulfillment, I am elevating work to a level never intended. Again, Ecclesiastes 2:10-11 warns us of this through the example of Solomon. He did more than any other in great accomplishments through his labor. He fulfilled every desire of his heart. And yet when it was all done, he said it profited nothing, all was vanity and striving after wind!”  When a man expects his wife, or a woman her husband to fill their inner emptiness and give them the meaning and security they expect for their lives, they have replaced the God with their spouse and have elevated their spouse to be their idol/god. This damages our spouse and puts him/her in an impossible position. She cannot be my god and fulfill my deepest needs and desires any more than the idols of Israel could be for Israel. Can we see the result of this in friendships, in parents with children and children with parents, in churches, careers, and marriages?  Only God can ultimately fill us with what we really need. Through love, we provide for one another, we comfort one another during trials, we stir one another up to be better than what we have been, but none of us can replace God. When a person expects anything from an object, an activity, or a person that only God can supply, they have rejected God and turned to idolatry. Detachment: Freedom from Uncontrolled Appetites When Teresa and I married, we vowed, “…forsaking all others, cleave unto you and you alone until death do we part.” When we marry, we are rejecting the romantic love of all others and all other things because of the intense love for one another. That reminds us of an important biblical principle: Intense love for something, especially God or spouse, leads to the rejection of something else. Seeing this from our earthly marriages, consider an immediate application: Husbands, what does this covenantal promise imply? Proverbs 5:18-21 “Let your fountain be blessed, and rejoice in the wife of your youth, a lovely deer, a graceful doe. Let her breasts fill you at all times with delight; be intoxicated always in her love. Why should you be intoxicated, my son, with a forbidden woman and embrace the bosom of an adulteress? For a man's ways are before the eyes of the LORD, and he ponders all his paths.”  Wives, what does this promise imply? Proverbs 31:10-12, 28-29 “An excellent wife who can find? She is far more precious than jewels. The heart of her husband trusts in her, and he will have no lack of gain. She does him good, and not harm, all the days of her life…Her children rise up and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praises her: Many women have done excellently, but you surpass them all.” What then is the key to joy and pleasure in an earthly marriage? What keeps both husband and wife pure and deeply attached to one another? How do they reject any attractions/desires that would compete with their love? Appetites for all else and anyone else are eliminated by pursuing and growing an intense love for each other. With that, every competing desire or appetite is disgusting. Hey Solomon, the Lord proclaimed through you that one wife would fulfill you, while a 1000 wives would empty you. The same is true with God.  Colossians 2:8-10, “For in him the whole fullness of deity dwells bodily, and you have been filled in him, who is the head of all rule and authority.” Cf. Colossians 3:5–6, “Put to death therefore what is earthly in you: sexual immorality, impurity, passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry. On account of these the wrath of God is coming.”  How can we be free of the bondage earthly desires and fleshly sins? How can we stop finding our meaning and security in people, things, positions, money, and power? It is by increasing love and adoration for God! Someone says, “But why would I give up my pursuit to fill my emptiness and find contentment and pleasure?” Because when you worship Baal and Asheroth, they aren't real and they won't fulfill you or give you pleasure! It is like saying to a hungry man, “Here, eat this dirt, it will fill your stomach.”  Thus the words of the Messiah's invitation, “Why do you spend your money for that which is not bread, and your labor for that which does not satisfy? Listen diligently to me, and eat what is good, and delight yourselves in rich food.” (Isaiah 55:2) Critical Question: Do you trust God? Do you truly believe in him? If we put that to a public response, we would likely hear a resounding “Yes!” I'm sorry, but I have a hard time believing you. Trusting God means, I am willing to wait for him to heal and provide for my needs, my desires, my hurts, and my emptiness. And I am content to know that he will not disappoint me. Now do you trust God?  I know myself well enough to know that is not always the case. Sometimes it may even be rarely the case. Conclusion: You will not grow your love for God by simply assembling with Christian and being at worship, though the more devoted we are to our gatherings to worship and study, the more motivated to pursue an intense love for God. The primary discipline needed for intense, passionate love is your combination of one on one time with God in prayer and study and your sharing that love and joy with fellow Christians. What will not work, and what will never work, is simply telling yourself to not give in to those desires and hound you. If you detach yourself from the desire by pursuing the affections that are above, you will not fulfill the desires of the flesh. Colossians 3:1-4 “If then you have been raised with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth. For you have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God. When Christ who is your life appears, then you also will appear with him in glory.” Berry Kercheville The post Romans 12:9 Freedom! Detachment From Sin appeared first on Woodland Hills Church of Christ.

The internet decides what's for dinner. Ruby Tandoh is the author of the new book, All Consuming: Why We Eat the Way We Eat Now. A stint on the Great British Bake Off when she was in college launched her into the world of cookbooks — increasingly irrelevant in a world where we're more likely to turn to Google for a recipe than turn to our bookshelves — and provided her an education in how pop culture stokes our cravings. She takes Ben and Amory on a journey from the surprising history of AllRecipes and the "world's best lasagna," to the TikTok food trends of today. (Spoiler: they don't always taste particularly good.) Show notes: All Consuming: Why We Eat the Way We Eat Now Credits: This episode was produced by Grace Tatter and hosted by Ben Brock Johnson and Amory Sivertson. It was edited by Meg Cramer.

Jesus Followers Seek First God's Will, and then They “Die” to their Self-Ambitions and Self-Appetites and Take Up Their Cross MESSAGE SUMMARY: In a time in which we hear so much about self-help, self-image, and self-actualization, Jesus is saying self-denial is the way to life for Jesus Followers. Jesus tells us, in Matthew 16:24, that self-denial is a key element in following Him: “Then Jesus told his disciples, ‘If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me.'". “Taking up one's cross” means to die to self-ambitions and self-appetites. When we die to our self-ambitious and self-appetites, we put them on the cross; and  Jesus' life moves through us: “Not my will but Thy will.”. By denying self, we become alive in Jesus; and His Spirit flows through us – we experience eternal life and abundant life.     TODAY'S PRAYER: Most merciful God I confess that I have sinned against you in thought, word, and deed, by what I have done, and by what I have left undone.  I have not loved you with my whole heart; I have not loved my neighbors as myself. I am truly sorry and I humbly repent.  For the sake of your son Jesus Christ, have mercy on me and forgive me; that I might delight in your will, and walk in your ways, to the glory of Your Name. Amen.  TODAY'S AFFIRMATION: Today, Because of who I am in Jesus Christ, I will not be driven by Inadequacy. Rather, I will abide in the Lord's Abundance. “I am the vine; you are the branches. If a man remains in Me and I in him, he will bear much fruit; apart from Me you can do nothing.” (John 15:5).

This lecture discusses key ideas from the medieval Christian philosopher and theologian Thomas Aquinas' Summa Theologiae, 1st part of the second part, question 26 "Of Love", and examines his discussions in articles 1-2, which center on determining where love is within the things and specifically within human being. Thomas will frame this in terms of nature and natural love, the sensitive concupiscible appetite and love as a passion, and the intellectual appetite or will and love as an act To support my ongoing work, go to my Patreon site - www.patreon.com/sadler If you'd like to make a direct contribution, you can do so here - www.paypal.me/ReasonIO - or at BuyMeACoffee - www.buymeacoffee.com/A4quYdWoM You can find over 3500 philosophy videos in my main YouTube channel - www.youtube.com/user/gbisadler Purchase Thomas Aquinas' Summa Theologiae - amzn.to/2ITcKYQ

Week 6 | The Sermon on the Mount (1995)This week on the podcast, we're in Week 6 of a 6-month series on the Sermon on the Mount that Darrell preached in 1995. The text discusses the fourth Beatitude, "Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied." Darrell's key insight is that righteousness is not about rule-following, but about restoring right relationships - with God, with others, and with ourselves. Sin has distorted our natural longing for this kind of righteousness. But Jesus comes to transform our deepest desires, satisfying the hunger and thirst of those who crave a life of relational wholeness and integrity. Darrell invites us to align our appetites with God's own passion for a world made right.__We also wanted to remind you that we are excited to be celebrating a new book release from Darrell. "Awaken Wonder" is a 4-week journey through the Advent season and is born of Darrell's desire to help you encounter Jesus afresh in the weeks leading up to Christmas. It is now available on Amazon in paperback and Kindle versions.⁠⁠⁠Purchase Awaken Wonder.⁠⁠⁠We've also launched a giveaway of 3 personally signed copies of the book.
