Podcasts about authentic

This week, Jake and Bob conclude their series on athletics by welcoming Fr. Burke Masters, the baseball priest, and Trevor Williams, the Washington Nationals pitcher, to the show! Together they discuss finding your identity in Christ when your job is about performing well, evangelizing as a professional athlete, and how sports can aid you in becoming a better Christian. Fr. Burke and Trevor also share how God led them to athletics, the story of how they met, and play a fun game with Jake and Bob at the end of the episode.   Key Points: Even when our jobs demand we perform well, our core identity is as beloved children of God, not in what we do or achieve. True humility is revealed in how we respond both to success and to failure, not just in our losses.   Integrating faith and sports means living out Christian values and witness in every context, not separating religious life from professional or competitive arenas.   Authentic evangelization often emerges through genuine relationships, presence, and consistency of character, more than through words alone.   Practice, discipline, and perseverance in sports mirror the virtues needed in the spiritual life.   The tension between ambition and surrender is navigated by directing all striving and success toward God's glory rather than personal gain.   Regular self-examination and reflection help transform both athletic and spiritual setbacks into opportunities for growth.   Balancing vocations—such as career and family—requires intentional boundaries and prioritization of what truly matters.     Resources: Grand Slam for God (or on Amazon) Fr.

I am steadfast here, friends. I've seen the truth in my own home and beyond play out time and time again. We need more positive minds, hearts and WORDS filling our homes if we want a better world. Being a Yes Mom is a standard of excellence and while it can feel difficult to fulfill and meet- it is rewarding to strive towards. I hope this encouragement reaches you warmly and with vigor. All my love, Tessa Romero

The strongest leaders aren't defined by their titles—they're defined by their ability to adapt, listen, and lead with humanity.  In this episode, Michele Smith, CEO of the Museum of Pop Culture, reveals how she built a career on resilience, authenticity, and courage. From her start in contract negotiation to international business development, to helping the Woodland Park Zoo weather the storm of COVID-19, Michele's story shows that leadership is less about having the answers and more about practicing presence, empathy, and trust. At MoPOP, she continues to expand cultural conversations by highlighting marginalized stories and creating spaces of belonging. Tune in to learn how to lead with authenticity, why resilience is a muscle you build over time, and what it takes to create cultures where people feel valued and included.

Is your spiritual awakening making you question… everything? From quitting your 9-to-5 to selling crystals on Etsy, it's easy to wonder what “living your purpose” even means. But what if you didn't need to burn your life down to wake up? What if spiritual awakening could look a lot more grounded? This week, we're diving deep with Kara Goodwin, host of the Soul Elevation Podcast, meditation guide, energy healer, and author of Your Authentic Awakening: A Guide to Everyday Spiritual Living. Kara joins us for a hilariously real and mind-expanding convo that's one part TED Talk, one part ayahuasca ceremony, and all parts truth serum for your soul. Whether you're a spiritual newbie or a seasoned seeker secretly side-eyeing your job as a spiritual imposter, this episode is your permission slip to stop faking alignment and start living it, without needing to join a cult or relocate to a Peruvian jungle.What You'll Discover in This Episode: ✅ What “living your purpose” really means; spoiler: it's not always about quitting your job or becoming a guru.✅ The truth about spiritual awakenings: how to know if you're in one and why your life might be crumbling (on purpose).✅ How Kara's personal tragedies cracked her wide open and sparked an authentic, life-changing spiritual journey.✅ Plant medicine: sacred tool or spiritual bandwagon? Kara shares insights from her mushroom experiences and the dream that told her to walk away.✅ The danger of spiritual dogma, even in “non-dogmatic” communities, and how to avoid becoming a cosmic copy-paste.✅ How to stay in your life without losing your awakening (yes, you can have a family, a job and a foot in the fifth dimension).✅ Why authenticity is the new enlightenment, and how to sniff it out (literally). Also in This Episode: - Kara's psychedelic experiences (including a psychic connection to mushroom chocolate before even eating it!) Why some of her most powerful visions happen with just CBD, meditation, and a hypnagogic stateHer honest take on energy healing, spiritual fads, and “awakening guilt”The subtle art of knowing when your guides are whispering… and how not to mistake them for imaginationWhat Kara's spirit guides would name their own podcast, and what the first episode would cover Who Should Listen?

By the world's wisdom, Christ's voluntary death upon the Cross was both shameful and foolish. And yet know that through the Cross, Christ attained victory over this world and the devil. When we fall short in this life through sinning and opt to quit, that is, flee the Cross of Christ, we embrace the foolishness of this world.

In today's episode, Todd dives into the shocking evidence revealed by prosecutors in the case of Charlie Kirk's alleged assassin. Despite the immediate spin from some corners of social media claiming this was the work of a “MAGA extremist,” newly released text messages tell a very different story. The accused killer's own words paint the picture of a young man who had turned sharply to the political left, even clashing with his conservative Republican family.Todd walks listeners through the disturbing text exchanges between the alleged shooter and his transgender roommate-partner. These messages show the assassin plotting, justifying his actions as retaliation against “hatred,” and struggling with the fallout once his family quickly suspected his involvement. The evidence reveals not a conservative activist, but a leftist radical whose ideology fed his violence.Todd also challenges those who rushed to blame conservatives for Kirk's murder, reminding us that evil individuals can emerge from any group—but the real question is whether an ideology fuels violent behavior. He argues the rhetoric of the radical left, which demonizes conservatives as Nazis and threats to democracy, creates a climate that justifies violence.Later, Todd plays a fiery Senate exchange between Senator Cory Booker (“Spartacus”) and Kash Patel over the Epstein files, exposing the political theater and hypocrisy on display.Authentic, unapologetic, and always conservative—not bitter—this episode confronts the lies of the media and the dangerous propaganda of the left, while reminding listeners that the real fight is at the ballot box, in schools, and in the culture.Freedom Marketplace: https://freedommarketplace.net The Stack: https://www.toddhuffshow.com/stack-of-stuff Email: todd@toddhuffshow.comPhone: 317.210.2830Follow us on…Instagram: @toddhuffshowFacebook: The Todd Huff ShowTwitter: @toddhuffshowLinkedIn: The Todd Huff ShowTikTok: @toddhuffshowSupport Our Partners:https://www.toddhuffshow.com/partners Show Sponsors: https://www.mypillow.com/todd Promo Code: TODD Red, White, & Brand – Text TODD at 317-210-2830 for a 10% discount.SolTea – Heart health made simple.

On the feast of the Seven Sorrows of the Blessed Virgin Mary, we have the opportunity to reflect on the importance of this feast for the Society of Saint Pius X. In union with Our Lord Jesus Christ, Who Our Lady brought into the world and stood with painfully at the Cross, Mary dedicated the whole of her life for the redemption of mankind. Her designated role in our salvation as Co-Redemptrix is particularly material when we consider the Society's mission of forming holy priests who stand in persona Christi to provide sacramental grace to the faithful.

Steve and I talk about something we both know all too well: that awkward, subtle distance that can build up in a relationship when you're not saying what you're really feeling.We recently found ourselves in a place of disconnection, nothing dramatic, no big argument, just a series of micro misunderstandings, missed cues, and moments where we assumed instead of asked. Steve played the, 'everything is fine' card. I kept going into the, 'ah, no it's not'. We talk about:The quiet buildup that leads to emotional distanceHow easy it is to misread or misinterpret each other when we're not fully presentWhy the “I'm fine” act only works for so long before resentment starts to settle inAnd what it took to finally come back into honest connectionThis episode is for anyone who's ever felt a disconnect but didn't quite know how to name it. For anyone who's ever gone through the motions while something unspoken sits between you. Buy my book, Authentic - coming home to your true self - AUS, EUR, USACoach with me 1:1 - Book a 20-minute call nowThe Good Life - sign up nowFree Wheel of Life Assessment - take the test nowWrite into us - let us know what you want to hearWelleCo - welleco.com.auwww.katjohn.com.auSupport the show

In this episode of The Light Inside, host Jeffrey Biesecker delves into the concept of avoidance as an emotional coping strategy.

We discuss how Nancy masterfully weaves real science into her narratives, her approach to tackling humanity's response to intelligent extraterrestrial life, and the craft of writing compelling science fiction that resonates with both heart and mind. Whether you're a longtime fan or new to her work, this episode offers a fascinating look at what it takes to create authentic, thought-provoking sci-fi. https://nancykress.com/ PHOTO CREDIT: MARY GRACE LONG

Preparation to the Lesson

Today we'll do a careful study of the 1955 reform. Fr. Palko explains what changed, why it changed, and whether these revisions were justified—or dangerous. From Palm Sunday to the Easter Vigil, we explore the reasons behind the time shifts, structure changes, and liturgical simplifications. Were these revisions paving the way for the Novus Ordo, or were they well-intentioned efforts to help the faithful participate more fully? We also examine the SSPX's actual practice today, and whether using the 1956 rites is a compromise, a prudential choice, or a litmus test for tradition See all the episodes, and download resources: https://sspxpodcast.com/mass We'd love your feedback on this series! podcast@sspx.org – – – – – – View this episode on YouTube: https://youtu.be/IYKvJ_xXoJM  – – – – – – – The Society of Saint Pius X offers this series and all of its content free of charge.

The SSPX Podcast is produced by Angelus Press, which has as its mission the fortification of traditional Catholics so that they can defend the Faith, and reaching out to those who have not yet found Tradition.  – – – – – – What is the SSPX? The main goal of the Society of Saint Pius X is to preserve the Catholic Faith in its fullness and purity, to teach its truths, and to diffuse its virtues, especially through the Roman Catholic priesthood. Authentic spiritual life, the sacraments, and the traditional liturgy are its primary means of bringing this life of grace to souls. Although the traditional Latin Mass is the most visible and public expression of the work of the Society, we are committed to defending Catholic Tradition in its entirety: all of Catholic doctrine and morals as the Church has always defended them. What people need is the Catholic Faith, without compromise, with all the truth and beauty which accompanies it. https://sspx.org
