In 1911 Vienna, a man on his way home spots the figure of a woman at the edge of the river. She is still, beautiful and nude, framed by tendrils of yellow hair. The man is Austrian painter Gustav Klimt. So instead of calling for help, the artist takes out his sketchbook. In his new historical novel Anima Rising, Christopher Moore uses this strange encounter as the jumping off point for his story, which goes on to involve characters like Sigmund Freud and Carl Jung. In today's episode, Moore joins NPR's Scott Simon for a conversation about the mystery at the center of the story and the real-life Klimt's relationship to women.To listen to Book of the Day sponsor-free and support NPR's book coverage, sign up for Book of the Day+ at plus.npr.org/bookofthedayLearn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy

I don't blame you for feeling downcast, defeated, and depressed because of how hard life can get, but joy can coexist even in the hard times because Jesus is always present!

Matthew 14:22-23 — “I'm a Christian, why am I depressed?” Too often, Christians believe that becoming a Christian eliminates all temptation toward despair and depression. While regeneration transforms the inner person, it doesn't necessarily change personality or temperament. The Christian should not continue in depression, yet the Christian often does battle depression. Sanctification is not automatic––one must strive toward living a life of faith. In this sermon on Matthew 14:22–23 titled “Looking at the Waves,” Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones examines the personality of Peter, a disciple of Jesus, and his unstable faith which leads to despair. Peter's initial faith in Jesus led him onto the stormy waters. Yet something changed. Circumstances didn't change; the waves were not new. What changed was Peter's faith. Instead of focusing on Jesus, Peter focused on his circumstances. Dr. Lloyd-Jones explains that this focus on circumstances leads to doubt, which leads to despair. While the circumstances of one's life are enough to drive them to depression, the Christian has a savior in the midst of the storm. The Christian must not rely on past experiences of faith––they must practice faith now, as the waves crash around them.

The university is uniquely Catholic in its origin, and yet currently, higher level education on elite campuses is a “red-hot mess,” according to George Weigel. In this episode, Andrew Petiprin sits down with George Weigel to discuss academia and the intellectual life, not simply as a theoretical enterprise left for those who dwell in an ivory tower, but as driver of culture and social life. They discuss the role of the Church in academia, the scholarly legacy of Pope St. John Paul II, the importance fighting the culture war, and the troubles facing the Western civilization. These topics are also the focus of Weigel's most recent book “Pomp, Circumstance, and Unsolicited Advice: Commencement Addresses and University Lectures,” where he tells students that true academic learning is carrying on the great Catholic tradition.   Get Your Copy of “Pomp, Circumstance, and Unsolicited Advice”: https://ignatius.com/pomp-circumstance-and-unsolicited-advice-pcap/?searchid=2246581&search_query=pomp+circumstance   SUBSCRIBE to our channel and never miss an episode of the Ignatius Press Podcast.

True joy transcends circumstances and emerges from a deep trust in God's character. Unlike temporary happiness, authentic joy is produced by the Holy Spirit working within us, not manufactured through our own efforts. Through practicing gratitude, maintaining focus on God rather than circumstances, and engaging with supportive community, we can experience lasting joy in every season. This spiritual joy flourishes when we choose to trust God first and remember His faithfulness through all circumstances.

Circumstances can pop up anytime. Try this affirmation Lovey shares to manifest exactly what you want.

Has your joy ever felt stolen? Life is full of distractions, challenges, and moments that try to rob us of lasting joy. In this episode, we explore how true joy isn't found in perfect circumstances—but in trusting God through every season.

Today's guest is a father to three daughters, a husband to a beautiful wife, friend to myself and so many others, and an economist by profession. His name is Robert Monroe, and if you met him in person, the first thing you'd probably notice is his smile. He's got one of those ear to ear smiles that tends to come with a hearty laugh and come from a place of joy. But behind the smile is a man who has been some incredibly trying times in his life. At a young age Robert was orphaned and learned some brutal lessons about life. But his smile never faded. I'm incredibly honored to bring you this conversation with Robert, where we talk about life, family, parenthood, and much more.

This episode breaks down two powerful approaches to nervous system regulation. First, we explore body-based processing techniques including orienting, vocal vibration (dhikr), butterfly taps, deep sighing, and cold water resets. These bottom-up approaches allow your body's intelligence to interrupt panic cycles when thinking has become part of the problem.Then we go into mind-based regulation through the C-NEAR method (Circumstance, Nervous System Thoughts, Emotions, Actions, Results). This approach helps you catch the thoughts driving chaos, create space between triggers and responses, and consciously choose different perspectives that bring your system back to safety.What makes this work profound is understanding that these complementary approaches to the same destination. Sometimes processing through the body clears mental fog, while other times changing a thought gives your body permission to release tension it's been holding.Put these methods into practice and then look for micro-shifts: Are you pausing more before reacting? Sleeping better? Recovering from stress more quickly? Small improvements signal your practice is working.----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------If this podcast has benefited you, imagine the value of a one-on-one meeting with me!

Star defensive end and Durham native VJ Anthony completed his African and African American Studies degree requirements in only three-and-a-half years and is locked in on one final college football campaign in the fall. Senior women's tennis standout Ellie Coleman, an Environmental Sciences major, enjoyed an undefeated ACC singles season this spring and helped her team to an undefeated conference record and regular season championship. She's eyeing a final run in the NCAA Tournament this month. And while both have been at the top of their games athletically, their Duke experiences have also included game-changing moments beyond the spotlight of competition.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Welcome to this special episode of the China Compass Podcast, #28 in the weekly “Prison Pulpit” series! I'm your China travel guide, Missionary Ben. You can follow me on X (@chinaadventures) where I post daily reminders to pray for China (http://PrayforChina.us). To learn more about our various ministry endeavors and to get any of the missionary biographies I’ve published, visit www.PrayGiveGo.us! First, I want to remind everyone why I started this second weekly podcast within China Compass. I want to encourage people to pray for Pastor Wang Yi (and others like him, as Hebrews 13:3 teaches us) by sharing from his own words and sermons. We’ve also looked at sermons from Richard Wurmbrand. But today I’m taking a break from Richard Wurmbrand’s Sermons in Solitary Confinement, to talk about what happened to me exactly 7 years ago, when I was arrested and interrogated in China. Specifically, after recounting my memories for a bit, I want to share some thoughts on how to pray for others who may someday find themselves in a similar situation. For instance, if you know someone is going to be undergoing intense questioning or interrogations related to their testimony or ministry, here are some specific things (from one who has been in that very situation) to pray for: Pray for clarity of mind (and wisdom) Pray for boldness (against fear and worry) Pray for family (who may not know what is going on) Get the book and other special content @ UNBEATEN.VIP!

In a world full of troubles, Jesus offers not just any peace, but his peace—a soul-deep, unshakable assurance that transcends circumstances. Peace isn't found in perfect conditions but in trusting God's presence and sovereignty. Stories of courage, studies on happiness, and reflections on suffering all point to the same truth: we don't need a peaceful life to have a peace-filled heart. True peace grows when we stop resisting hardship, step into it with trust, and find God waiting for us there. Today's call is simple but brave: want what you've been avoiding, and find peace inside the struggle.Join the conversation in our FB Group: https://www.facebook.com/share/g/1CnqywVp9s/Become New is here to help you grow spiritually one day at a time.John's new book STEPS is out!

Embark on this year-long voyage through the Bible, and let each day's passage uplift and inspire you. TODAY'S EPISODE: Welcome to the Daily Radio Bible! In today's episode, your host Hunter invites you to join him on Day 115 of our year-long journey through the Bible. We begin in 1 Samuel 28 and 29, where King Saul is desperate for guidance in the face of looming conflict with the Philistines. Next, we reflect on the heartfelt cries of David in Psalm 109. Finally, we turn to Matthew 11, where John the Baptist—struggling with doubt in prison—sends his disciples to ask Jesus if he is truly the Messiah. Jesus' response carries powerful reassurance for anyone wrestling with discouragement. Hunter offers encouragement and prayer, reminding us that even when God seems inattentive to our circumstances, He is still at work, His eye is upon us, and we are deeply loved. Join in as we read, reflect, and pray together—finding hope and renewed vision in God's enduring promises. TODAY'S DEVOTION: See Beyond the Walls. What do you do when it feels like God isn't paying attention to what you're going through? Are you tempted to lose faith, to shut down, or to try and go it alone? If so, you're not alone—John the Baptist felt that too. In our reading today, we find John in prison. His circumstances are dire and his future uncertain. He was the forerunner, the one sent to prepare the way for the Messiah, but now, awaiting execution, everything he thought he knew is called into question. From his cell, John sends his disciples to ask Jesus, “Are you the Messiah, or should we keep looking?” John's vision has shrunk to the walls of his prison, clouded by uncertainty and disappointment. God's apparent inactivity has left him confused and maybe even hurt. And Jesus—notice how he responds. Jesus doesn't send a promise of rescue or a word of immediate deliverance. He doesn't assure John that everything will soon be alright. Instead, he tells John's friends, “Go report what you see and hear: the blind receive sight, the lame walk, lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, and good news is preached to the poor. Blessed is anyone who does not stumble on account of me.” Jesus invites John—and invites us—to see beyond our circumstances, to recognize what God is doing beyond the present moment. God is at work, even if we cannot perceive how in our pain or our disappointment. When the walls start to close in and it feels like your faith is being swallowed by uncertainty, Jesus points us outward—to signs of hope, to evidence of his ongoing work in the world. Let this be a word for you today. Don't let your faith hinge on your current struggles, or on what you think God has or hasn't done for you lately. When your vision matches the dimensions of your troubles, remember Jesus' response. Remember that God is not inattentive or neglectful. He sees you. He is working all things out for your good and his glory, even when you can't see it. Jesus had not forgotten John. He has not forgotten you. He is with you, closer than you know. So let's pray for renewed vision—a vision of the God who always works and always sees us. That's the prayer I have for my own soul. That's the prayer I have for my family, for my wife, my daughters, and my son. And that's the prayer I have for you. May it be so. TODAY'S PRAYERS: Lord God Almighty and everlasting father you have brought us in safety to this new day preserve us with your Mighty power that we might not fall into sin or be overcome by adversity. And in all we do, direct us to the fulfilling of your purpose  through Jesus Christ Our Lord amen.   Oh God you have made of one blood all the peoples of the earth and sent your blessed son to preach peace to those who are far and those who are near. Grant that people everywhere may seek after you, and find you. Bring the nations into your fold, pour out your Spirit on all flesh, and hasten the coming of your kingdom through Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen.   And now Lord,  make me an instrument of your peace.  Where there is hatred let me sow love. Where there is injury, pardon.  Where there is doubt, faith. Where there is despair, hope.  Where there is darkness, light.  And where there is sadness,  Joy.  Oh Lord grant that I might not seek to be consoled as to console. To be understood as to understand, to be loved as to love.  For it is in the giving that we receive, in the pardoning that we are pardoned, it is in the dying that we are born unto eternal life.  Amen And now as our Lord has taught us we are bold to pray... Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom come thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven, give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our tresspasses as we forgive those who trespass against us, and lead us not unto temptation, but deliver us from evil, for thine is the Kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen. Loving God, we give you thanks for restoring us in your image. And nourishing us with spiritual food, now send us forth as forgiven people, healed and renewed, that we may proclaim your love to the world, and continue in the risen life of Christ.  Amen.  OUR WEBSITE: www.dailyradiobible.com We are reading through the New Living Translation.   Leave us a voicemail HERE: https://www.speakpipe.com/dailyradiobible Subscribe to us at YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@Dailyradiobible/featured OTHER PODCASTS: Listen with Apple Podcast DAILY BIBLE FOR KIDS DAILY PSALMS DAILY PROVERBS DAILY LECTIONARY DAILY CHRONOLOGICAL

The Trump administration has been criticized for the accidental deportation of an illegal immigrant from El Salvador. Allegations against the administration say the man was called a gang member when he was not, and many news outlets alleged that the Trump administration was ignoring a court order to return the man to the United States. And now, a very different story is coming out. During their meeting at the White House on Monday, U.S. President Donald Trump and Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele clarified why the man was arrested, his gang membership, and details on the court order that news outlets are now accused of misrepresenting.
