Podcasts about blind man

Jesus Tells Us: Be Opened: From Silence to Faith In the Gospel of Mark, Jesus travels through the pagan region . . . . . . of Decapolis, near the Sea of Galilee, where a man who is deaf and unable to speak is brought to him. Jesus takes the man away from the crowd, touches his ears and tongue, looks to heaven, and says “Be opened.” The man is immediately healed and begins to hear and speak clearly. Though Jesus asks for silence, the people proclaim the miracle with amazement. Drawing on the teaching of Saint Augustine, the Homily explains that Christ's actions are never merely physical; they reveal a deeper spiritual reality. The miracle symbolizes humanity's spiritual deafness . . . especially in a world dominated by secular values such as wealth, pleasure, and power. Just as the man could not speak until he first heard, people today cannot proclaim God's truth unless they first listen to His Word. Encounter God Personally Jesus' act of taking the man away from the crowd signifies the need to step out of worldly noise to encounter God personally. Having “heard” Christ and received Him . . . especially in the Eucharist . . . believers are sent forth to evangelize. The most convincing witness is not words alone but a transformed life, particularly how Christians face suffering and challenges with hope and courage. By living differently from the world, they “radiate Christ” and show that faith, not material success, is what truly matters. Listen to this Homily on faith!

Quick recap In this episode of the Amazing Cities and Towns podcast, host Jim interviewed Michael Hingson, a blind speaker and author who shared his experiences on 9/11 and his broader life story. Michael discussed his work as a computer company executive in the World Trade Center on 9/11, where he and his guide dog Roselle survived the terrorist attacks by following emergency procedures and evacuation protocols. They also explored Michael's perspective on disability rights, technology's role in accessibility, and his work as a public speaker. The conversation highlighted Michael's philosophy on overcoming challenges and his views on artificial intelligence and its potential benefits for people with disabilities. Jim expressed admiration for Michael's leadership and resilience, and they discussed the importance of adapting to new technologies and maintaining a positive outlook despite obstacles. Summary Surviving 9/11 as a Blind Leader Jim interviews Michael Hingson, who shares his experience as a blind person who survived the 9/11 attacks in the World Trade Center. Michael describes how he and his guide dog Roselle evacuated Tower 1 after the plane hit, emphasizing that his blindness did not prevent him from understanding the situation. They discuss Michael's subsequent leadership and speaking career, with Jim mentioning potential future speaking opportunities through the National League of Cities. Surviving 9/11: A Blind Man's Story Michael shared his experience of surviving the September 11 attacks as a blind person, highlighting how his preparation and training helped him remain calm and focused during the evacuation. He described how his guide dog, Roselle, played a crucial role in keeping him and others calm, and how he used his knowledge of the World Trade Center to navigate the building during the emergency. Michael has since become a public speaker, sharing lessons learned from his experiences about teamwork, trust, leadership, and emergency preparedness. Michael's Journey with Thunderdog Michael discussed his experiences with writing and publishing two books, "Thunderdog" and "Live Like a Guy Dog." He shared how "Thunderdog" came about after meeting George Berger at the American Kennel Club Canine Yukanuba Dog Show in 2002, and how Susie Flory encouraged him to write the book. Michael explained that the book was published by Thomas Nelson in 2011 and became a New York Times bestseller. He emphasized the importance of the book in teaching people about blindness and challenging attitudes towards blind people, highlighting the high unemployment rate among employable blind individuals. Overcoming Challenges with Technology and Choice Michael shared his personal story of being born blind and overcoming obstacles, emphasizing the importance of choices and technology in his life. He discussed the concept of disability as a characteristic that everyone has, and highlighted how the Americans with Disabilities Act has provided accommodations that benefit everyone, not just those with disabilities. Jim agreed with Michael's perspective, noting how the ADA has opened doors for people with disabilities and should be seen as a natural part of society. Challenges in Accessibility Today Michael discussed the ongoing challenges of accessibility, highlighting how the Americans with Disabilities Act has made significant progress but still faces numerous battles. He shared personal anecdotes about his wife's experiences with accessibility issues and his own encounters with discrimination, emphasizing the need for societal recognition of these challenges. Michael also explained the importance of making internet websites accessible, noting that only about 3% of websites are currently accessible. He praised Apple's innovative approach to accessibility, particularly with their VoiceOver technology, while suggesting that more could be done to ensure all apps are accessible. AI's Role and Future Potential Jim and Michael discussed the role and potential of artificial intelligence (AI) in various aspects of life. Michael emphasized that AI is a valuable tool that can enhance accessibility, improve vaccine development, and assist in education by helping students learn rather than just using AI to write papers. They also talked about the progress and future of autonomous vehicles, with Jim highlighting the potential benefits for elderly people and Michael sharing his experience driving a Tesla with AI assistance. Both agreed that while AI has made significant strides, it is still in its early stages and will continue to improve over time. Guide Dogs and AI Technologies Michael discussed his experiences with guide dogs, emphasizing the importance of teamwork and trust between the handler and the dog. He explained that guide dogs are trained to ensure safe navigation, not to lead the handler, and described how he communicates with his dogs using a harness. Michael also highlighted the role of AI in assisting people with disabilities, mentioning technologies like Echo Vision glasses and the IRA (Artificial Intelligent Remote Assistant) service. He concluded by sharing his approach to interacting with the public, including allowing petting of his guide dogs when time permits. Michael's Speaking Career Promotion Jim and Michael discussed Michael's speaking career, emphasizing that his story transcends 9/11 and covers themes of life, persistence, and inspiration. Jim expressed his admiration for Michael's speaking skills and offered to promote his services to various organizations.

In this compelling exploration of John 9, we discover three profound journeys that reveal what it means to truly "see" Christ.Join us as we examine the healing of a man born blind and uncover how three different groups responded to the same miracle—some moving from blindness to sight, others tragically moving from sight to blindness.In This Episode:THE DISCIPLES' PERSPECTIVE: Discover why we must become blind to our religious formulas before we can see God's compassionate purposes. Learn how theological systems can actually blind us to the people right in front of us.THE BLIND MAN'S TESTIMONY: Experience the transformative power of simple, personal testimony.

Hey there BCU Fam! Lately, we have been talking about "importunity" ----the importance of boldly and persistently coming before the Lord in prayer. Today, let's explore that persistence of a blind man wanting to receive his sight in Luke 18. After you've finished listening, please head down the comments section here, or over to the comments section at www.BlenCouragesU.com so we can continue our conversation! Thanks everyone and God bless you! Yours in faithful service, Blen

Are you looking for life and coming up empty? Maybe you've tried to pour yourself into your work, and found that it is just exhausting. So you turn to family and find that frustrating. Maybe a hobby, but who really has the time? We are looking for life in all the wrong places.Enter Jesus and The Gospel of John.Jesus was John's best friend and Lord. John writes, “That you may come to believe that Jesus is the Messiah, and that by believing, you may have LIFE in His name.” And there it is - our great desire - LIFE! Not simply heart beating and breathing and going about the day. But a life of energy, vitality, and joy. A truly abundant life. John isn't writing so that we will survive in Jesus's name. He is writing so that we will thrive in Jesus's name.How?By knowing, understanding, and ultimately believing in Jesus. The entire gospel of John, everything that is written, is to help us get a clear picture of who Jesus is and why Jesus matters. So, for you - are tired of reaching for life and coming up empty? Are you tired of reaching for life in something temporary only to watch it go away over time? Jesus is not just life now, but abundant life for all eternity. If you want to know God, if you want to know life, then know Jesus. That is the purpose of the gospel of John, and that is what we will look at over the next several weeks as we seek to understand Jesus and come to believe in His name and have life in His name.

God calls the blind to envision teh Light of the World (Jn 9:5) then to illuminate others (Mt 5:14-15).

The Robertsons address the decay of America's biggest and most beautiful cities, pointing to lawlessness, failed leadership, and what happens when humanity gives in to its darkest desires without restraint. Jase admits that trusting Amish healing advice briefly turned him into something resembling a human blowtorch.

Special Bonus Episode! (Hour 1)The Enoch Polarity gives us insight into much of what is happening in the world today. We need to focus our attention on the spiritual so as not to get caught in the trap of hyper materialism...Crrow777In the land of the blind, the one-eyed man is king.We will all play a role in the formation of the new systems that will follow. We lost a golden opportunity in 2020 by accepting things that should not be accepted. Let us all hope, and implement, the exact opposite attitude and conduct that allowed so much loss 5 short years ago.In my view it is time to start walking away from hyper-materiality and its intended low vibrational systems that contradict spiritual endeavors. In my view the era now forming can and should be rooted in service to others. If it is not, digital slavery is likely to ensue for some unknown period of time – but that is truly up to us. We will get what we deserve when all is said and done. What is allowed will almost certainly take shape.I would like to wish you all a happy, healthy and higher-minded new era.The new era is emerging everywhere now. Everything is changing or about to change. In this last week alone, we have seen gold and silver, the foundations of real money, prove that the west is no longer in control.

Matt's back in New York, he's somehow regained his secret identity—don't ask him how, he's very cagey about it—and he's traded the bright red suit for a slicker, darker black one. On top of that, he's now working as a prosecutor for the DA's office. So Daredevil by night, ADA by day… because nothing says “healthy work-life balance” like doubling down on stress.  And for reasons only Matt understands, he decides this is the perfect time to take on a protégé. Enter Blindspot—a kid genius with an invisibility suit, an undocumented immigrant background, and all the ambition (and naïveté) Matt had at his age. Matt trains him, pushes him, and absolutely refuses to admit to anyone that he might be in way over his head as a mentor.  The first big arc is the Tenfingers saga, centered around a cult leader in Chinatown who—yes—literally has ten fingers on each hand. He's stolen power from The Hand, his followers think he's some kind of holy savior, and Blindspot's mother is deep in the cult, which drags the kid into the conflict whether he wants it or not. The whole thing spirals into a massive church showdown that ends with The Hand (and then a giant beast on behalf of the hand) showing up to wipe Tenfingers off the map. Blindspot is injured, but he gets a harsh lesson in what Daredevil's world really looks like.  Following that we get a two-issue story “Elektric Connections” with the return of Elektra. First she shows up in Matt's courtroom during trial, then asks to meet Daredevil. When she does, she attacks him. Blindspot jumps in to try to save Daredevil, but Elektra breaks his arm. Elektra's convinced she has a daughter who's gone missing and that Daredevil is involved. Turns out it was a trick and after finally convincing her the “evidence” she was given wasn't real, she approaches the man who gave it to her. He breaks the planted memories with the phrase “The tangled web we weave!”. Elektra is relieved she won't be corrupting a child but very angry at the person who deceived her.   Then we get the “Blind Man's Bluff” story arc that feature's a team up with Spider-Man. Matt is posing as a Frenchman, playing Texas Hold 'em in a tournament and intends to rob someone at a Casino in Macau, which is as fun a story as it sounds. This will be our spotlight story for the week.   The year ends with the start of a terrifying “Dark Art” story that starts with the discovery of a full wall mural made from human blood. We are going to hold off until 2017 to discuss the entire story, but if you watched season one of Daredevil Born Again, you might have an idea of just who Daredevil and Blindspot are dealing with.  This Week's Spotlight: Daredevil Volume 5, Issue 8 August 2016 and Issue 9 September 2016 “Blind Man's Bluff Part 1 and 2”  Recap Why We Picked This Story Daredevil Rapid Fire Questions The Takeaway The Marvel Reboot.

Scott Wright John 9:1-12 John - part 55 Sermon Guide (PDF) Video - entire service

The sermon centers on the transformative encounter between Jesus and a man born blind, highlighting the contrast between spiritual sight and spiritual blindness. After being excommunicated by the religious leaders for confessing Jesus as the Son of Man, the man is found by Jesus, who reveals Himself as the Messiah, leading the man to faith and worship—a profound moment of spiritual revelation. In contrast, the Pharisees, despite their claim to see, are condemned for their pride and refusal to acknowledge their spiritual blindness, illustrating that true salvation comes only through humble recognition of one's need for Christ. The passage underscores that Jesus came not to condemn but to reveal, offering sight to the blind and exposing the blindness of those who insist they see. Ultimately, the sermon calls listeners to examine their own spiritual condition, urging them to repent, receive Christ's healing, and worship Him as Lord, for only through His grace can true sight be restored.

By Sanford Beattie - His friends begged Jesus to heal a man of blindness. But in His first action, the man was only partially healed. What happened? Did Jesus make a mistake? Or was there an important message Jesus was conveying to us?

What does real confidence look like in business? Is it about having all the answers, or is it about knowing when to ask the right questions? In this milestone 300th episode of the Sales Maven Show, host Nikki Rausch reflects on twelve years in business and what confidence truly means for entrepreneurs and sales professionals. Through storytelling, honesty, and heartfelt lessons, she explores how confidence shows up in unexpected ways and how vulnerability can be one of your greatest business strengths. Nikki shares a West African folktale called The Hunter and the Blind Man to illustrate how humility and openness can transform relationships. The story follows a proud hunter who learns wisdom and empathy from a blind man he once dismissed. For Nikki, this story mirrors the sales journey: confidence is not about dominance or perfection, but about awareness, curiosity, and growth. It's about seeing with your ears and feeling with your heart, as she puts it. Throughout the episode, Nikki ties this lesson to her own experiences in corporate sales and entrepreneurship. She recalls early moments when she believed confidence came from expertise alone, only to learn that true confidence often comes from admitting what you do not know and staying open to learning. Whether selling to audio engineers, teaching clients, or hosting hundreds of podcast episodes, she has discovered that genuine connection always outperforms performance. As she looks back on 300 episodes, Nikki expresses deep gratitude for her listeners and clients who have embraced curiosity and growth right alongside her. She reminds us that confidence is not about ego or perfection, but about structure, self-awareness, and the willingness to show up authentically in every sales conversation. If you've ever doubted yourself or felt pressure to appear like an expert at all times, this episode will inspire you to redefine what it means to be confident—and to see how compassion and courage can elevate your success.

Have you ever had to go a different way because the road was blocked? You had to take a detour. God once led Saul on a “detour.” “The Lord . . . has sent me so that you may see again.” ACTS 9:17, NIV. God leads us to serve others.

In this episode of the "Perfectly Good Podcast," hosts Jesse Jackson and Sylvan Groth discuss the John Hiatt song 'Motorboat to Heaven' from his second album, Overcoats. Reflecting on the memories and emotions tied to this period of Hiatt's career, the hosts critique the lyrics, the musical arrangement, and its place within Hiatt's oeuvre. They consider the metaphor of water skiing to discuss the sense of lack of control in a relationship, and the juxtaposition of tenderness with vulnerability. The episode also touches on the listener community's feedback and the broader context of Hiatt's early work. 00:00 Introduction and Welcome 02:49 Podcast Updates and Scheduling 04:03 Listener Feedback and Engagement 04:40 Special Message from Doug Kennedy 08:24 Discussing 'Motorboat to Heaven' 11:10 Analyzing Lyrics and Themes 20:50 Exploring the Metaphor of Water Skiing 21:25 Understanding 'Motorboat to Heaven' 22:55 Analyzing the Lyrics and Themes 30:45 Rating the Song 33:21 Engaging with the Audience 35:08 Final Thoughts and Farewell Learn more about your ad choices.

Ludlov begins his investigation in the village of Hübschdorf, joined by his Initiate Tolfmann and Garner, a blind young man who aspires to be a guard... ----more---- ABOUT THE STORY The Hounds of Hübschdorf (formerly called 'Grauwald's Game') is an epic fantasy audiobook by Audio Epics that has been released on Halloween, since it has serious dark fantasy and grimdark vibes. This brand new Witch Hunter Tale is the direct prequel to Witch Hunter. If you like a dark adventure story you'll probably enjoy this grim journey in the original fantasy setting of Hruda, inspired by everything we love: RPG settings like the Old World from Warhammer fantasy, eighties fantasy movies and J.R.R. Tolkien's Middle-earth (amongst others). This first episode is the beginning of a full length audiobook that will bring the epic fantasy adventure from the novel alive. You can find all episodes here on YouTube.   PLOT SUMMARY When three Witch Hunters fail to return from a routine investigation, Master Ludlov and Initiate Tolfmann find themselves in a small village near the woods. While investigating the strange disappearance of their Brethren, it becomes obvious the mayor is not so keen on their arrival, and the villagers seem to prefer the distraction of the Graunacht festivities to their nosing around. When their inquest reveals a dark mystery involving evil magic and undead, Ludlov faces the true cause of the threat in a place more disturbing than he could have imagined. WANT TO SUPPORT US?

Early AM submarine breakfast prep ambience.I am obsessed with the minutia of submarine voyages and there's no books out there that can slake my middle-aged hunger for non-Clancy submarine stories. I'm more interested in the banal, what is work like when you're job puts you far underwater and beyond rescue.I'm positive I would feel the need to constantly ask shipmates how "we're doing." I'm not even talking mission — “how are we doing on food?” “Are we sure we've charted all the underwater mountains?” Not even amusing questions to read in a podcast description let alone under staggering amounts of water pressure.I feel like hypochondria would be a terrible attribute in a submariner. Like the type of hypochondria exacerbated by weekend afternoons watching mild freak show cable telivision about bizarre medical diagnosis. Silent heart attacks, fugues that strike while you bathe. People that probably believe actual murders are hosted by Keith Morrison. And John Quiñones might jump out from behind any counter when a suburban mom loses her **** on a barista.I would be a worse candidate for a submarine than the guy tapping "I am U-571 destroy me" morse code in that Matthew McConaughey sub movie. But, administer that submarine **** directly into my veins. I love it (If you have any books recommendations along the lines of Blind Man's Bluff, torpedo them over... via comment or email — Look, I doubt the Navy lets folks set up microphones on modern vessels. Maybe if the Titanic guy promised to make Red October 2 or Das Boot 2 they would let him drop a zoom mic in a ship's galley. But for now we will be riding in a fictionalized submarine. During breakfast prep.

We're seeing an explosion of youth violence in America — but it didn't happen overnight.In this episode, Brad Bright explains how a 60-year cultural shift has reshaped morality, education, and the next generation. Using a simple question — “Would you give a blind man your car keys?” — he exposes how our schools and culture have sidelined God and replaced truth with “My Truth.”

Many of the 800+ SFN Mentor Fathers, who are raising kids with special needs, have said: "I wish there was something like this when we first received our child's diagnosis. I felt so isolated.  There was no one within my family, at work, at church or within my friend group who understood or could relate to what I was going through."SFN Mentor Fathers share their experiences with younger dads closer to the beginning of their journey raising a child with the same or similar special needs. The SFN Mentor Fathers do NOT offer legal or medical advice, that is what lawyers and doctors do. They simply share their experiences and how they have made the most of challenging situations.Check out the 21CD YouTube Channel with dozens of videos on topics relevant to dads raising children with special needs - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCzDFCvQimWNEb158ll6Q4cA/videosPlease support the SFN.

JOHN 9:1-16 - HEALING THE BLIND MAN - BRIAN SUMNER - 2025"Now as Jesus passed by, He saw a man who was blind from birth. 2 And His disciples asked Him, saying, “Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?”3 Jesus answered, “Neither this man nor his parents sinned, but that the works of God should be revealed in him. 4 I must work the works of Him who sent Me while it is day; the night is coming when no one can work. 5 As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.”6 When He had said these things, He spat on the ground and made clay with the saliva; and He anointed the eyes of the blind man with the clay. 7 And He said to him, “Go, wash in the pool of Siloam” (which is translated, Sent). So he went and washed, and came back seeing.8 Therefore the neighbors and those who previously had seen that he was blind said, “Is not this he who sat and begged?”9 Some said, “This is he.” Others said, “He is like him.”He said, “I am he.”10 Therefore they said to him, “How were your eyes opened?”11 He answered and said, “A Man called Jesus made clay and anointed my eyes and said to me, ‘Go to the pool of Siloam and wash.' So I went and washed, and I received sight.”12 Then they said to him, “Where is He?”He said, “I do not know.”The Pharisees Excommunicate the Healed Man13 They brought him who formerly was blind to the Pharisees. 14 Now it was a Sabbath when Jesus made the clay and opened his eyes. 15 Then the Pharisees also asked him again how he had received his sight. He said to them, “He put clay on my eyes, and I washed, and I see.”16 Therefore some of the Pharisees said, “This Man is not from God, because He does not keep the Sabbath.”Others said, “How can a man who is a sinner do such signs?” And there was a division among them.”To support this channel and partner with Brian in Ministryhttps://www.briansumner.net/support/For more on Brianhttp://www.briansumner.nethttps://www.instagram.com/BRIANSUMNER/https://www.facebook.com/BRIANSUMNEROFFICIALTo listen to Brians Podcast, click below.https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast...Purchase Brians Marriage book at https://www.amazon.com/Never-Fails-Da...Brian is a full time "Urban Missionary" both locally and internationally with a focus on MISSIONS - MARRIAGES - MINISTRY. Since coming to faith in 2004 doors continued opening locally and internationally to do more and more ministry with a focus on Evangelism, Outreach Missions, Marriage, Counsel, Schools, Festivals, Conferences and the like.  Everything about this ministry is made possible because of people personally partnering through the non profit. God Bless and thank you. †Support the showSUPPORT THE SHOW

Sure this sounds like it's coming direct from scripture (it is), as these are some of the exact healing miracles Jesus himself is renowned performed.  What we can tell you is there's more...MUCH more...in this episode.  Further, there's not a single invasive technology required for these miracles you'll see and hear discussed.  In fact, this is water derived straight from the book of Genesis, here to heal God's children...already, 8 clinical studies have been completed to prove 100% of the people have astounding results.  (Even better - big Pharma can't touch it, plus it's even blessed by RFK Jr's MAHA).  This show is nothing short of spectacular.
