Podcasts about Come Home

In this moving episode, Acharya Shunya speaks with Sadhvi Bhagawati Saraswati about her new book Come Home to Yourself — a heartfelt guide for anyone seeking inner peace and spiritual clarity. Sadhviji was a Stanford grad living a typical American life in California — until a trip to India and a dip in the Ganges changed everything. For the past 35+ years, she's lived as a renunciate by the Ganga, immersed in yoga, service, and awakening. This conversation is an invitation to question what we're chasing — and come home to who we really are.  Listen now on Apple Podcasts. #ShadowToSelf #ApplePodcasts #ComeHomeToYourself #SadhviBhagawati #HollywoodToHimalayas #ReturnToSelf #sadhvibhagawati

Environmental justice work speaks to the visceral nature of systemic oppression, lived through the bodies of Indigenous and local communities at the frontlines of climate crises and ecological degeneration. To defend the land, water and other natural resources is not a question of choice but survival for many communities protecting their territories from extractive industries. How do we then, as allies and advocates, choose to take the risk of offering our voices and organising with environmental defenders, in the movement to collective freedom and justice? This month, we bring onto the show Abby Reyes, an author and recognized leader in driving community climate solutions. Her first book, Truth Demands: A Memoir of Murder, Oil Wars, and the Rise of Climate Justice releases today, May 6, 2025, from North Atlantic Books. Truth Demands is a salve for anyone navigating the open waters of grief and essential reading for the emerging climate activist and those becoming more ecologically aware. The book chronicles Abby's own healing journey and pursuit of justice after the loss of her partner and two other land rights advocates when they were murdered near Indigenous U'wa territory in Colombia in 1999.  Born and raised in Virginia, Abby began her climate work conducting rural environmental legal assistance in the Philippines, her father's homeland, and later walked alongside the Colombian U'wa Indigenous pueblo in their fight against big oil – an experience at the center of Truth Demands. Today, she is the Director of Community Resilience Projects at University of California, Irvine, where she supports leaders from climate-vulnerable communities and their academic partners to accelerate community-owned just transition solutions. A graduate of Stanford University and UC Berkeley Law, she clerked on the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, co-chaired the board of EarthRights International, and is an advisor to the National Association of Climate Resilience Planners.  Abby has been recognized as a “Model of Resistance” by Barnard's Scholar and the Feminist Conference, has a TEDx talk on How to Come Home and has discussed her work with the Law & Political Economy Project. She lives with her family in the San Francisco Bay Area. This conversation centres the themes of Truth Demands addressing embodiment as resistance, chronic fatigue and exhaustion in environmental justice work, and body reorganisation through rest.

In this message, we will focus on a different character in the prodigal son story - the father. He didn't respond the way you might expect when his son came back. He didn't lecture. He didn't condemn. He didn't argue. He welcomed his son home with open arms and an epic celebration. 

In Part 3 of Come Home, Pastor Benny shares the heart of God as our loving Father who isn't waiting to punish us—but to welcome us. When we come back with repentance, He meets us with grace, restoration, and celebration. No matter how far you've run, it's never too late to come home. God still loves you. He's waiting for you—arms open wide.

At FirstNLR, we want to make it easy for people to come back to Jesus. We want our words, actions, and attitude to open the door for prodigals to become life-long followers. To do that, we must make the path home easy for people to follow.

This is an important message for you and the prodigals you are praying for.

AI has upended schooling as we know it. Students now have instant access to tools that can write their essays, summarize entire books, and solve complex math problems. Whether they want to or not, many feel pressured to use these tools just to keep up. Teachers, meanwhile, are left questioning how to evaluate student performance and whether the whole idea of assignments and grading still makes sense. The old model of education suddenly feels broken.So what comes next?In this episode, Daniel and Tristan sit down with cognitive neuroscientist Maryanne Wolf and global education expert Rebecca Winthrop—two lifelong educators who have spent decades thinking about how children learn and how technology reshapes the classroom. Together, they explore how AI is shaking the very purpose of school to its core, why the promise of previous classroom tech failed to deliver, and how we might seize this moment to design a more human-centered, curiosity-driven future for learning.Your Undivided Attention is produced by the Center for Humane Technology.

What really happens when someone runs from God? In this message, we explore Jesus' parable of the Prodigal Son and uncover the predictable pattern that follows spiritual rebellion. From leaving the safety, security, and blessing of home to facing loss, shame, and isolation—this teaching walks through every stage of what it looks like to turn away from God. This message reveals the dangers of running—and the hope that comes when someone and decides to return. Easter is a reminder that no distance is too great and no failure too big. The Father is waiting. The door is open.

It's human to make decisions that we later regret. Especially when addiction is present in our Loved Ones, fear and deep concern can often color our decision-making process. To see more clearly, we can take a step (or two) back and look at the situation through a new lens.I'm used to considering my Loved One's needs first, but where do I fit into the equation? What are my own needs right now and what/where are my boundaries? What can I live with and what can't I? What are my core values and am I respecting them? Can I change my mind if I realize I've made a decision that might be unlivable for me? If you originally told your Loved One they could come home, but now you think that was a mistake and you need to let them know you've changed your mind, consider planning ahead: have a plan for what you'll say, be ready to remove yourself if things get very tense or even dangerous.Module 2 on safety is an essential one to watch. Module 4 on how to talk to your Loved One will also be very helpful here. Module 7 on navigating and regulating difficult emotions, is full of precious guidance.And here is the episode Kenny mentions having listened to multiple times, that you might also appreciate: How Do You Negotiate When Your Loved One is Coming Home? Our Families Speak series features a wonderful team of people navigating life with an addicted loved one. They are all members of Allies in Recovery, an online platform providing training, guidance, support and resources to families ready to shift the dynamic with their loved one struggling with substance use.With grace, compassion, humility and deep generosity, the Families Speak team shares openly with Coming Up for Air listeners.
