In this episode, Darrell shares about: Some of his morning rhythms, the practices that he's found that work in his life to create space for a life with God. Disciple-making in our modern context, including the value of one-on-one conversations and how he would anchor discipleship in teaching people how to read the Bible and pray.

Today we're handing The Daily T over to The Telegraph's legendary interviewer, Mick Brown.In the course of a long career in journalism Mick Brown has interviewed many of the most significant cultural figures of the past 50 years - and he kept the tapes. In the first of an occasional series he delves into his archive to bring you interviews with Stephen Sondheim, David Bowie, and many more.In this first episode he remembers meeting the man who reinvented the musical Stephen Sondheim in New York in 2010. In this conversation they discussed his long and storied career, his tempestuous upbringing, his tutelage under the beady eye of Oscar Hammerstein, what makes a musical great. In moments of rare candour, Sondheim also spoke of his time in therapy, his anxieties about ageing - and did his best to skirt the subject of love...Read Mick's original interview with Sondheim here: Still cutting it at 80: Stephen Sondheim interviewMusicMitzi Gaynor sings "I'm Gonna Wash That Man Right Outa My Hair" from the 1958 film of Rodgers & Hammerstein's South Pacific (Magna, 20th Century-Fox)Richard Rodgers (Composer) and Oscar Hammerstein II (Lyricist)Gloria Grahame sings "I Can't Say No" from the 1955 film of Rodgers & Hammerstein's Oklahoma!

For fans of musical theatre, Stephen Sondheim is one of the true titans – the genius who brought us Sweeney Todd and West Side Story, Into the Woods, and Company. With acclaimed revivals of his landmark shows regularly performed in London and New York, and new generations being introduced to the man who forever transformed musical theatre, Sondheim's legacy has only grown. What is it about such classic songs as ‘Being Alive' from Company, ‘No One Is Alone' from Into the Woods, or ‘Send in the Clowns' from A Little Night Music (to name but a few) that still resonates for so many? In How Sondheim Can Change Your Life (Atria Books (North America) Ebury (UK and Commonwealth), 2024), Dr. Richard Schoch shows how Sondheim's greatness (beyond the clever lyrics and adventurous music) lies in his ability to tell stories that speak to all of us. From Louise's desire for freedom as Gypsy Rose Lee to Sweeney Todd's thirst for revenge, the struggles we see in Sondheim's characters are ones we all have – and we can learn valuable lessons from how those struggles are resolved. Following the arc of Sondheim's extraordinary career, How Sondheim Can Change Your Life is rich with stories and insights into the master's creative process, and reveals the many ways that Sondheim's works can enrich the lives of all of us. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose new book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

Evan Handler is beloved by millions for portraying Harry Goldenblatt, divorce-lawyer-turned-husband to Kristin Davis's Charlotte York, on HBO's groundbreaking series, and films, “Sex and the City,” it's current MAX follow-up, “And Just Like That,” as well as Charlie Runkle on Showtime's seven season “Californication.” In addition to authoring two highly acclaimed books, Time on Fire: My Comedy of Terrors, and It's Only Temporary: The Good News and the Bad News of Being Alive, Evan has played leading roles in ABC's “It's Like, You Know…,” and NBC's “Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip,” STARZ' “Power,” and made numerous memorable guest appearances on “Lost,” “The West Wing,” “Six Feet Under,” “Necessary Roughness,” and “Friends.” In 2000, Evan played Larry Fine in ABC's TV movie “The Three Stooges,” followed by additional “real life” portrayals of Lloyd Blankfein in HBO's “Too Big to Fail,” Alan Dershowitz in FX's “People vs. OJ Simpson,” and Hal Prince in FX's “Fosse/Verdon,” each of which garnered numerous wide-ranging awards. On the big screen, Evan played a leading role in Ron Howard's “Ransom,” starring Mel Gibson, and featured and leading roles Oliver Stone's “Natural Born Killers,” “Taps,” “The Chosen,” and “Sweet Lorraine.” He's currently visible in David Duchovny's directorial effort, “Reverse the Curse.” Prior to his work in film and television, Evan earned acclaim in seven Broadway productions, all performed between his twenty-first and thirtieth birthdays, and all in spite of losing nearly five years of that span to his fight against a supposedly “incurable” leukemia. During this time Evan starred in Broadway productions of “Six Degrees of Separation,” “I Hate Hamlet,” “Brighton Beach Memoirs,” “Broadway Bound” and “Master Harold...and the boys.” Evan also worked extensively in off-Broadway and regional theater at NY's Public Theater, Manhattan Theater Club, Playwrights Horizons, Seattle Rep, and Steppenwolf, performing early plays by Donald Margulies, Robert Schenkkan, Jez Butterworth, and numerous others. Evan's first book, Time On Fire, details his unlikely recovery from the leukemia diagnosed in the mid-1980s. His second book, It's Only Temporary: The Good News and the Bad News of Being Alive, describes the twenty-year period post-illness, and Handler's surprisingly circuitous journey toward gratitude, using tales of serial dating, absurd relationships, unexpected depressions, and, ultimately, lasting love and a miracle conception.

Niall and James get into their shared love of the darkness and the humour that helps them through their melancholy. James also explains his ‘Ode to Meditating' and ‘Ode to Not Meditating,' with Niall giving some advice on implementing metta meditation into your day.  If you would like to donate to The Rising challenge:  https://www.gofundme.com/f/x6dc29-we-need-your-help  For more mindfulness content check out Niall's Patreon. https://www.patreon.com/niallbreslin Follow Niall on IG @bressie, TikTok @niallbreslin, FB @whereismymindpodcast and Twitter @nbrez and visit his website: www.niallbreslin.com.

This episode was a bit of a divergence from the regular topics we cover on IT in the D: this week we were joined by author James Parker, staff writer at The Atlantic, and author of the book Get Me Through the Next Five Minutes: Odes to Being Alive. The book delves into personal struggles, mental health, and life's daily challenges. The conversation covers Parker's unique writing style, his use of the word 'ode' in the book, and his thoughts on meditation, buzz management, and writing in the age of AI. The episode also touches on lighter topics like wrestling, food preferences, and favorite action heroes.

We didn't choose to live this life. In its most difficult moments, it's all too natural to ask the question, “What makes life worth living?” This question, so central to philosophy since ancient times, is what we explore in this episode with Nick Riggle, a professor of philosophy at University of California, San Diego. Riggle is the author of several books, most recently 2022's This Beauty: A Philosophy of Being Alive. Over the course of our conversation, we discuss aesthetics, which is the branch of philosophy concerned with beauty and art; the various ways that we, successfully or otherwise, have attempted to find meaning in life; why finding beauty and building an aesthetic community is so crucial to human well-being; and much more. In this episode, you'll hear about: 2:29 - Nick's path from being a pro-skater to becoming a philosophy professor and author 8:41 - How Nick approaches surveying philosophical thought through history10:22 - The importance that aesthetics and beauty play in Nick's studies 19:13 - What motivated Nick to write his book This Beauty21:04 - How Nick conceptualized answering the central question of his book23:51 - The takeaways that Nick personally found for what makes life worth living 29:15 - What it means to pay attention to the beautiful things in life 32:18 - Are some kinds of beauty and art “better” than others? 34:47 - The value of creating an aesthetic community  39:12 - Living an aesthetic life when your physical or mental state is limitedNick Riggle is the author of multiple books and publications, including This Beauty: A Philosophy of Being Alive (2022), Aesthetic Life and Why it Matters (2022), and On Being Awesome: A Unified Theory on How Not to Suck (2017). Nick Riggle can be found on Instagram at @nickriggle Visit our website www.TheDoctorsArt.com where you can find transcripts of all episodes.If you enjoyed this episode, please subscribe, rate, and review our show, available for free on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

We continue our 'The Year In Metal" series moving into the 90s ... not a great decade for the fortunes of heavy metal. This 1990 playlist represents thrash metal's decline, loosening the grip it had on the metal landscape over the previous 5 years or so. Here you'll find a diverse selection of loud sub-genres represented: from thrash to death to trad metal to hard rock ... and even melodic punk. It may be grunge outside, but it's all metal inside!!!

This is a unique Pray for Micah Podcast experience where Micah and some new friends from Asheville, NC (Scott Asbell, Elijah "E" Schneidewind, and Luca Rade) decided to bust out the recording equipment to capture a deep conversation they were having while sharing a late-night hookah. They cover a range of topics from human consciousness, artificial intelligence, technological advancements, post-modernism, religious constructs, Christian mythos, and the consequences they have on culture, society, and future generations. About Scott Asbell: Ever playful and ever the student of the Paschal mystery, Scott Asbell dances through dizzying and often concurrent life, death, and resurrection journeys to joyfully and artfully weave his life well lived. Growing up in the spiritual worlds of Young Life and the Presbyterian Church, Scott now feels most at home in the perennial tradition, including and especially mystical/contemplative Christianity. He is a student of the Enneagram and Integral Theory and credits those energies for initiating and ushering him into the second half of his spiritual life. While business management and entrepreneurship has been a cornerstone of Scott's life from an early age (he even bought and ran a bowling alley at the age of 21!), he considers his creative pursuits and endeavors to be his life's purpose and work. A self taught musician and song writer, Scott writes and releases music under the names Cardinal Folk, Absolute All, and Wander Yonder. His other main creative endeavor is building tiny houses and creating DIY carpentry videos via YouTube under the moniker Slacker Scott. About Elijah "E" Schneidewind: Elijah "E" Schneidewind is a dedicated and innovative healthcare professional boasting over a decade of diverse experience across various domains including physical therapy, athletic training, personal training, nutrition coaching, massage and bodywork, and Arvigo therapy. He maintains an insatiable thirst for knowledge and is deeply committed to leveraging integrative and personalized approaches to enhance human health and well-being. E is driven by a mission to instigate positive lifestyle changes and promote overall wellness within his community. His core values revolve around nature, sustainability, justice, equality, peace, and love. Beyond his professional endeavors, E finds solace and joy in spending quality time with his beloved family – his partner, Lizzie, his faithful dog, Terkie, and two adorable cats, CoCo Bean and Daisy May. Together, they immerse themselves in activities such as gardening, cooking, homesteading, and engaging in building projects on their picturesque homestead nestled in the Appalachian Mountains. About Luca Rade: Luca is the founder of Flourish, a platform for everyone to find the guidance, healing, or training they need to flourish. He is the author of The Infinitely Pronged Hunger for Life, an alchemical and prophetic book of poetry, and The Journey of Being Alive podcast series. Having taught Contact Improv workshops and worked as a decision coach in the past, he is now creating Rewilding and Playfight containers in Asheville, NC to enable deep and primal connections between people and with the natural world. He holds a BA magna cum laude from Princeton University. Flourish emerged from Luca's years-long journey of embodying, awakening, grieving, and loving, which brought him into contact with dozens of guides, healers, and teachers and sparked his own explorations in guiding others. He experienced the challenges and confusions of finding and trusting the right guides, healers, and teachers outside of limited mainstream-sanctioned options. He realized that without the right digital platform, the new yet ancient aliveness emerging across the world today will not break through the grip of our society's disembodied and disconnected ways of being. Flourish is the Portal, the Ark, and the Trojan Horse for this emerging aliveness.

The first poem in Katie Farris' new book of poems, Standing in the Forest of Being Alive, ends with the stanza Why write love poetry in a burning world?/ To train myself, in the midst of a burning world/ to offer poems of love to a burning world. This poem, an arrow that sails though each poem in the collection, begins Farris' unflinching look at the details of her own cancer treatment and marriage in the midst of social and political unrest. The poems, intimate and immediate, tackle difficult subjects yet they're full of tenderness and humor. Join host Julie Murphy as she chats with Katie Farris about the poems, poetry and about her journey To train myself to find, in the midst of hell/ what isn't hell.  Katie Farris's most recent book, Standing in the Forest of Being Alive, from Alice James Books (US) and Liverpool University Press (UK), was shortlisted for the 2023 TS Eliot Prize and was listed as Publisher's Weekly's Top 10 Poetry Books for 2023. She's also the author of the hybrid-form text boysgirls (Marick Press, 2011; Tupelo Press 2019), and the co-translator of many works, including A Country in Which Everyone's Name is Fear, which was one of World Literature Today's Notable Books of 2022. She's a Pushcart Prize winner. She graduated with an MFA from Brown University, and is currently Visiting Associate Professor of Poetry at Princeton University.

In this episode of The BoatCast, we are beyond thrilled to feature the talented artist, songwriter, and producer, Gable Price. Hailing from the wild Midwest and now residing in Redding, California, Gable Price and Friends' music spans across genres like Pop, Country, Rock and Roll, and Christian contemporary. Gable's musical journey began at a young age, learning Electric Guitar from his Dad. With his band "Chipotle and the Chicken Strips," he showcased his skills at a music festival. As he grew older, Gable's passion for music deepened when his father gifted him a Gibson Les Paul and invited him to be his Worship Leader Assistant. In 2017, Gable embarked on an adventure in his Dodge Camper van, lovingly named "The Dreamboat," and settled in Redding for his studies. During this time, Gable formed a band with classmates Adam and Daniel, and together they recorded their debut EP "The Redding EP." Their musical collaboration continued, and they released their full-length album "Fractioned Heart." Now signed to Capitol Records CMG, Gable Price and Friends are gearing up to tour their latest album "The Consequence of Being Alive."

Themes: Relationships, Transformation, Acceptance, Infidelity, Authenticity, Codependency Summary: In this episode, I had the pleasure of chatting with power couple Rainier Wylde and Kristi Born. We discuss how their relationship has evolved through infidelity, relational pain as a potent catalyst for transformation, the beauty of being honest with ourselves and our partner, and viewing ruptures as an invitation to truth and an opportunity to really see and understand each other. About Rainier & Kristi: Rainier Wylde is an author, teacher, and speaker. He has embraced life for all it is, celebrating its highs and learning from its lows. Rainier has managed a Fortune 500 company and built businesses; he has also elegantly blown them up, burned them down, and started over from scratch. Studying with Zen masters and Sufi mystics, Rainier founded and participated in neo-monastic communities for many years, becoming a spiritual director to both individuals and groups. He holds a masters degree in psychology and has spent countless hours working with others in navigating the human soul. Through the various positions he has held, Rainier discovered that life must be claimed to hold any worth. His work is to inspire others to live, fully and deeply, in the here and now. Kristi Born is a marriage and family therapist, relationship coach and teacher. She has worked with diverse populations and a wide variety of age groups. As a graduate school professor and popular educator, Kristi thrills in bringing people together to discuss topics that unleash their power and minimize their shame.
