In his second appearance on The 1000 Hours Outside Podcast, Levi Lusko opens up about spiraling—not just in the chaotic, crashing sense we all fear, but in a way that ultimately leads upward. With raw vulnerability, Levi shares how hitting a wall at age 38 forced him to confront years of unrelenting output, anxiety, and grief. He talks candidly about panic attacks, feeling lost even amid success, and the spiritual awakening that came from slowing down. Drawing from his new book Blessed Are the Spiraling, Levi explains how embracing change, honoring limits, and reconnecting with beauty—especially in nature—can lead to deep, lasting joy. Ginny and Levi explore the hidden cost of comparison, the power of contentment, and the importance of preparing not just for the next season of life, but for the end of it. They discuss everything from Warren Buffett to C.S. Lewis to the wisdom of ants, and highlight the vital role relationships play in healing and wholeness. This conversation is a tender reminder that you are not alone in your chaos—and that even in the middle of the spiral, there's a path toward peace. ** Get your copy of Blessed are the Spiraling here Learn about the Movement Conference here Spend 20 minutes to write up a free will here Learn more about your ad choices.

We know that there were women whose resources and labor enabled Jesus to travel and heal and preach. We even know some of their names: Mary Magdalene, Joanna, Susanna. On this final Sunday of our “Blessed Are the Women” series, we honor their stories, and imagine what they offer to us today. On this final Sunday of our series, we center the stories of these women at the margins (in diverse ways!), who claimed and shared power for the sake of the Gospel. This series has been inspired by the book “Blessed Are the Women” by Claire McKeever-Burgett. www.TheLoftLA.org

The post Blessed Are the Obedient – 12/15/24 appeared first on North Hills Church.

Steven LaChance is my guest on this segment of "The Strange Reality Show with Dave Emmons," recorded on 11-14-24. Steven tells us about his early experiences at his haunted childhood home in Union, Missouri, which inspired him to write about horror stories with a factual basis. Steven tells us about a shadowy figure of a man that showed itself at all times of the day in his house where he was raising three children. Steven says the ghost or spirit followed him and his family to another home. In 2008, it motivated him to write about his experiences in his first book, "The Uninvited." Which is still a top-selling book about his family's paranormal experiences. Since this spirit would not leave their domain, he wrote a follow-up book "Blessed Are the Wicked (2010), continuing the haunting story. Steven went on to investigate many paranormal stories with teams of experts. That is when he wrote stories about other peoples' experiences in the book Crazy: A Prayer for the Dead (2012), a terrifying tale based on actual events. Steven took an interest in the St. Louis Exorcism case in 1949, researched, and wrote a book "Confrontation with Evil (2017). After that book, he rested from the paranormal until 2024. Steven's new book "Glow" explores the world of nightmares and chilling accounts of the supernatural. The book, "The Uninvited was selected as one of the best Books of 2008 by the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. He talks about people with PTSD from certain paranormal events. Steven has written the above books but has several sequels that he is working on as a full-time author. His career was in Radio Production and on-air work. He has had TV appearances and consulted various TV shows, including: "The Exorcism of Roland Doe." You can find his books on Amazon, Barnes and Noble, and all other outlets.

Blessed Are the Pure in Heart by Franklin City Church

What does it take to be humanely happy? Perhaps it's the very journey of the peacemaker that helps us discover the answer to this question, and it might not be the journey you would expect. Theologian, author, and peacemaker Andrew DeCort details this journey in his new abundantly profound and copiously beautiful book, “Blessed Are the Others: Jesus' Way in a Violent World."Through the nine-part movement known as the Beatitudes—the introduction to Jesus' famous Sermon on the Mount—Andrew helps us see that the pathway to "human happiness" is actually the pathway to peacemaking, but it doesn't come without a cost. Through his own experiences of building a massive peacemaking movement to having to flee a country that had become his home as it plunged into civil war, he helps us learn how to walk this path with him—not in fear, but in new purpose and joy. It's a chillingly challenging and beautiful episode you don't want to miss. --Purchase “Blessed Are the Others” by Andrew DeCort Leave a rating and review on Apple Podcasts or SpotifyIf you're enjoying the podcast, become a monthly donor to Telos!Subscribe to the Telos NewsletterRead and share the Principles and Practices of Peacemaking

She is cohost of the award winning The Lucky Few podcast, creator of The Slow Way podcast and newsletter, and has written for publications such as the Washington Post and Christianity Today.

I recently had the honor and privilege to interview Brant Hansen, host of the radio show The Brant Hansen Show and author of books such as Unoffendable, Blessed Are the Misfits, and The Men We Need. We talk about life and marriage on the autism spectrum, and even get a little deep in the middle about some of our personal struggles and self doubt. I loved having this conversation with him and didn't want to cut a second out of it! This is a public episode.

This episode is Part 2 of my interview with Jeffrey Stout on democracy. In Part 1 Dr. Stout explained the different ways democracy has been understood throughout history, he gave us two definitions of liberty and freedom, and he spoke of the seven virtues he believes are essential for citizens to develop in order to participate in maintaining a healthy democracy. In this episode, Dr. Stout discusses the threats that presently exist to our democracy here in the United States and then develops the roll we have as citizens to respond to these threats and to insuring that our democracy thrives. Dr. Stout is Professor of Religion, Emeritus at Princeton University. He is a theorist and historian of democratic culture. His work is concerned with ethics, religious thought, political theory, law, and film. The two of his books that I draw upon for these two episodes are Democracy and Tradition, and Blessed Are the Organized: Grassroots Democracy in America. His two lectures which I draw from for these interviews are his 2017 Gifford Lectures titled ‘Religion Unbound: Ideals and Powers from Cicero to King' and his 2022 Frederic R. and Molly S. Kellogg Biennial Lecture on Jurisprudence titled ‘The Tree of Democratic Liberty.' Both of these lectures can be found on Youtube. The intro and outro music for this episode is from a clip of a song called 'Father Let Your Kingdom Come' which is found on The Porter's Gate Worship Project Work Songs album and is used by permission by The Porter's Gate Worship Project.

Words have the power to form us. And that has indeed been the case for author, youth pastor, and podcaster, Micha Boyett. In today's conversation with Micha, she explains how living with the beatitudes, while raising her son with Down syndrome and autism, has deeply formed her.In our time together, she talks about the Dream of God, a reality in which everything is defined by the love of God, and how that concept has shaped her. She also talks about a renewed understanding of what ‘blessing' means and how we hold the tension of longing for the Dream of God, while living in a very broken world. In Micha's latest book, Blessed Are the Rest of Us, she was invited into a new way of living in the world, a way of wholeness and flourishing that Jesus taught about. And in today's conversation, she invites into that same way of living.Buy Melissa L. Johnson's book, Soul-Deep Beauty: Fighting for Our True Worth in a World Demanding Flawless, here.
