Podcasts about burdens

Fr. Mike offers a brief recap of today's chapter from Nehemiah, identifying the difference between those who were able to live in Jerusalem and those who were not. He explains the ancestral gifts that each tribe of Israel received and applies this concept to the vices and virtues of our families, as well as our freedom to adopt or reject them. Today we read from Nehemiah 11, Esther 8, 16, and Proverbs 21:17-20. For the complete reading plan, visit ascensionpress.com/bibleinayear.

Shoulder pain may show up as bursitis, rotator cuff issues, arthritis, or frozen shoulder—but what if the deeper driver is how much you're carrying for everyone else? In this episode, Heather McKean reframes shoulder symptoms through a Mind Change lens: the shoulders as the “seat of responsibility,” where unexamined roles, people-pleasing, control, suppressed anger, resentment, guilt, and fear of saying no can harden into pain and even immobility. You'll hear a powerful case study (“Elena”) that maps childhood roots of over-responsibility into adult patterns, a practical medical overview, and how left vs. right shoulder messages can differ. Heather then offers clear next steps—rewiring subconscious scripts, practicing loving “no's,” auditing which responsibilities are truly yours, and using forgiveness to release resentment—so your body can stop protesting and start recovering.What we covered in this episode: 

The parable of the Good Samaritan is one of Jesus' most well-known teachings. But we often focus only on the act of compassion, not what it took for the Samaritan to respond the way he did. He was healthy in five areas of life, which enabled him to love his neighbor and bear another's burden.

The European Union's upcoming Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) goes into effect in  October 2026, with the remainder of the requirements going into effect in December 2027, and introduces significant cybersecurity compliance requirements for software vendors, including those who rely heavily on open source components. At the Open Source Summit Europe, Christopher "CRob" Robinson of the Open Source Security Foundation highlighted concerns about how these regulations could impact open source maintainers. Many open source projects begin as personal solutions to shared problems and grow in popularity, often ending up embedded in critical systems across industries like automotive and energy. Despite this widespread use—Robinson noted up to 97% of commercial software contains open source—these projects are frequently maintained by individuals or small teams with limited resources.Developers often have no visibility into how their code is used, yet they're increasingly burdened by legal and compliance demands from downstream users, such as requests for Software Bills of Materials (SBOMs) and conformity assessments. The CRA raises the stakes, with potential penalties in the billions for noncompliance, putting immense pressure on the open source ecosystem. Learn more from The New Stack about Open Source Security:Open Source Propels the Fall of Security by ObscurityThere Is Just One Way To Do Open Source Security: TogetherJoin our community of newsletter subscribers to stay on top of the news and at the top of your game. 

Newt talks with Patrick McLaughlin, a research fellow at the Hoover Institution, where he leads the QuantGov analytics project focusing on regulations. McLaughlin discusses the growth of regulatory requirements from 400,000 restrictive terms in 1970 to 1.1 million today, highlighting the economic friction and opportunity costs associated with regulatory accumulation. He estimates that if regulations had been held constant since 1980, the U.S. economy could be 25% larger by 2012, equating to a $4 trillion increase. They also discuss the impact of the Supreme Court's decision to end Chevron deference, which previously allowed agencies to interpret statutes with significant discretion. Their conversation concludes with an examination of Virginia Governor Glenn Youngkin's successful regulatory reforms, which include a 25% reduction in regulatory inventory and the use of AI for cost-benefit analysis, setting a new standard for regulatory management.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The biblical answer to Cain's question 'Am I my brother's keeper?' is a resounding yes. In Galatians 6:1-5, Paul teaches that carrying one another's burdens is a fundamental Christian responsibility. This includes gently restoring those caught in sin and helping others through various struggles like illness, grief, and financial crises. While Jesus is our primary resource for our burdens, God often uses people to help people. Pride and comparison are the main obstacles that prevent us from carrying others' burdens. As Christians, we must balance carrying our own responsibilities while helping others with their heavy loads.

To know a greater happiness, to make the most of our lives, we're asked, as dharma students, to free the heart of its burdens.  We're asked in this effort to practice mindfulness of these burdens, the afflictions that prevent us from the heart.  Indeed, the Buddha's first noble truths gives us this task:  to comprehend these burdens:  dukkha.  In this dharma talk Peter Doobinin describes the burdens on the heart and the practice of insight that enables us to put them down.  The talk was given on the fifth night of the NY Dharma April 2025 Eight-Day Retreat.

Today, Hunter was joined once again by Professor Eve Primus. This time, Eve joined the show to discuss her newest law review article “Burdens of Proof in Criminal Procedure.” At first glance, this might seem like a boring, technical legal topic, but the burden of proof is often the only thing that matters in a criminal trial. As Eve points out, the entire case can hinge on who has to prove what and when they have to prove it.   Guest: Eve Primus, Professor of Law, University of Michigan School of Law   Resources: Read Eve's Work https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=5136879Amanda's Faculty Page Contact Eve https://michigan.law.umich.edu/faculty-and-scholarship/our-faculty/eve-brensike-primus   Contact Hunter Parnell:                                 Publicdefenseless@gmail.com  Instagram @PublicDefenselessPodcast Twitter                                                                 @PDefenselessPod www.publicdefenseless.com  Subscribe to the Patreon www.patreon.com/PublicDefenselessPodcast  Donate on PayPal https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=5KW7WMJWEXTAJ Donate on Stripe https://donate.stripe.com/7sI01tb2v3dwaM8cMN Trying to find a specific part of an episode?

We gathered in prayer and shared on biblical principles of restoration, unity, and burden-bearing within the body of Christ. We reflected on Galatians 6:2, considering how humility and submission allow us to bear one another's burdens and fulfill the law of Christ. Together we explored how spiritual growth and intimacy flow from right order—our relationship with God, then marriage, then the local assembly. The conversation also touched on Daniel's faith as an example of humility and dependence, showing how God's sovereignty works in the midst of human limitations. We emphasized that restoration is both personal and corporate, requiring us to be teachable, willing to receive comfort from others, and committed to walking in the Spirit. We concluded with prayer requests, reflections on sanctification as an ongoing process, and plans for fellowship, including an upcoming men's trip.

A church community that gives together, grows together.

In this episode of Lesson in Everyday, we dive into Galatians 6:1–5, where Paul reminds us of the power and responsibility of carrying one another's burdens. Life brings different seasons of trials, but none of us are meant to walk alone. Whether it's standing in prayer, offering an encouraging word, or becoming an accountability partner, the call is clear—we are to help our brothers and sisters in Christ while keeping our hearts guarded from temptation.Through the leading of the Holy Spirit, we can discern when and how to step in to share the weight someone else is carrying, knowing that in doing so, we fulfill the law of Christ. Tune in as we explore how God equips us to uplift one another, why humility is key, and how obedience in these moments strengthens both our faith and our community.

We all carry burdens: some light, some crushing. All too often, we try to carry them alone, believing strength means suffering in silence. But what if true strength is found not in isolation, but in walking together? In Galatians 6, Paul calls us to build a community marked by nearness, humility, and mutual support—a community that lifts each other's heaviest loads instead of breaking under them. Burdens weren't meant to break us, but to bind us, and in Christ, no burden is too heavy when we carry it together.

A healing in the synagogue reveals Christ's mission for the human family and for us.

Pastor Josh Cardwell

In our hyper-individualized American culture, Paul challenges us to think in a more communal way, specifically about sin. How do we deal not only with our own sins but also the sins in the lives of our Christian brothers and sisters? How should Christians go about confronting a believer about their sin? What does it look like to bear each other's burdens? And how do we do so without becoming an enabler? Paul instructs us on all these matters in Galatians 5:26–6:5.   Text: Galatians 5:26–6:5 Title: Burdens  Speaker: Jake Wright 

What do you care about these days? Caring is the currency of leadership, but here's the paradox: when we care too much about too many things, we can lose sight of the things that truly matter. So the question is: How do you direct your energy toward what you value, without becoming overwhelmed by the sheer volume of things you could care about? The most effective leaders are those who can connect deeply with their teams, foster trust, and create a sense of safety and belonging. They lead with empathy, not just strategy.But perfectionism and overfunctioning can lead us to feel like we need to be everything to everyone, at the expense of our well-being and, ultimately, the quality of our leadership.For many of us, the path to effective leadership begins with finding your enough. When you shift your lens to honoring your enough, you stay connected to your values and to the people and causes that matter most to you, without tipping into exhaustion.My guest today offers a model of what it's like to care deeply without losing yourself in the process, and of finding joy and community along the way. Ashlee Piper is a sustainability expert, commentator, and speaker whose work has been widely featured on television and in print media.
