Podcasts about Compassion

"Just as we are wired to be in connection with each other, we are wired with an impulse to help, with an instinct for compassion." —Deb Dana, author of Anchored: How to Befriend Your Nervous System Using Polyvagal Theory Empathy in action. While to empathize with another is a good step, a step that acknowledges our shared humanity, it is when we are motivated to act to alleviate the suffering that it becomes compassion. This compassion we are going to talk about today is a gift we give others as much as we need to give it to ourselves. Compassion is a choice, but it is a natural choice to choose and each time we do, along with being curious and honoring our true self, "daily living takes on a sense of expansion and possibility." When we began this 7-part series at the first of the month, I shared with you the guiding axiom that defines who TSLL is written for: "The thinking and compassionate person's blog with everyday 'sides' of living well to savor." In Part One we talked about what being a 'thinking person' meant in the context of living simply luxuriously, and it was shared that 'thinking' goes hand-in-hand with being 'compassionate'. They are equally important. Without compassion, we can learn all the skills and gain all the knowledge that would be helpful, but if we are only thinking, we become a robot, unfeeling, and unable to see the humanity, the sentient souls (any creature capable of feelings, sensations, and consciousness), that surround us, and are part of our world. We are also unable to honor our true self and reach our full potential. When we pair being a thinking person with being compassionate, we are on the path to building a life of true contentment. Of grounding ourselves each day in an enduring peace that no matter what is swirling around outside of us, we can hold ourselves in this calm and choose a loving, constructive path forward. We then arrive on the other side of the unwanted moments with a conscience that is at peace.

We all allow outside sources to impact our hearts, our minds, and our missions.  This is why we must focus on our Savior Jesus and commune with him daily.  Today, Jon shares part of his story on this. This devotion was originally posted as a blog post on jon-goodwin.com.   As always, please feel free to chat with about this.  Get the conversation started at jon@christianoutdoors.org. If you are in the Western NY area, Jon would love to see you some Sunday at Hartland Bible Church where he preaches every week!

On this week's episode of The 1 Girl Revolution Podcast, we welcome Robin Steinberg — attorney, advocate, and founder of The Bronx Defenders, Still She Rises, and The Bail Project. Robin has spent her entire career fighting for justice and reimagining what public defense and true equity could look like in America. Her unwavering belief is simple but revolutionary: every person deserves dignity, humanity, and a real defense — no matter who they are or what resources they have. In 1997, Robin founded The Bronx Defenders in New York City, pioneering a holistic model of public defense that addresses not only courtroom battles, but also the housing, health, family, and immigration issues that so often shape people's cases. She went on to create Still She Rises in Oklahoma — the first public defender office in the country dedicated exclusively to representing women. Oklahoma has one of the highest incarceration rates for women, and it became the backdrop for Robin's bold vision: to provide women with holistic legal representation, recognizing that defending women means defending their families, children, and communities. Did you know that women are the fastest-growing population in jail and prison? Robin's insights into women and incarceration are both powerful and eye-opening. And in 2017, Robin launched The Bail Project, a national nonprofit that combats mass incarceration at its entry point: the cash bail system. The Bail Project provides free bail assistance and pretrial support to thousands of people each year who would otherwise remain jailed simply because they cannot afford bail — ensuring that freedom isn't determined by the size of someone's bank account. In this episode, you'll hear: ✨ Robin's journey to becoming a passionate advocate for justice; ✨ The story behind The Bronx Defenders and the holistic defense model she pioneered; ✨ Why she launched Still She Rises and how it's transforming the lives of women in Oklahoma and beyond; ✨ The devastating impact of cash bail and how The Bail Project is working to end it; ✨ Robin's insights into women and incarceration — and why they are the fastest-growing population in jail and prison; ✨ And so much more!

Looking 4 Healing Radio with Dr. Angelina Farella – The most disappointing thing to me was the horrible responses from some “medical professionals;” worse, were the physicians who spewed vile on social media platforms. One doctor stated that the assassin's target “deserved to die” in front of a nurses' station and a patient. The nurse who responded to this stated, “How can you, as a doctor, say that?”

While traveling to a city called Nain, Jesus restores a dead man to life and returns him to his widowed mother, revealing his deep compassion and power as the Lord. (Lectionary #444) September 16, 2025 - Cathedral Rectory - Superior, WI Fr. Andrew Ricci - www.studyprayserve.com

My guest is Dr. Christof Koch, PhD, a pioneering researcher on the topic of consciousness, an investigator at the Allen Institute for Brain Science and the chief scientist at the Tiny Blue Dot Foundation. We discuss the neuroscience of consciousness—how it arises in our brain, how it shapes our identity and how we can modify and expand it. Dr. Koch explains how we all experience life through a unique “perception box,” which holds our beliefs, our memories and thus our biases about reality. We discuss how human consciousness is changed by meditation, non-sleep deep rest, psychedelics, dreams and virtual reality. We also discuss neuroplasticity (rewiring the brain), flow states and the ever-changing but also persistent aspect of the “collective consciousness” of humanity.

Read OnlineJesus journeyed to a city called Nain, and his disciples and a large crowd accompanied him. As he drew near to the gate of the city, a man who had died was being carried out, the only son of his mother, and she was a widow. A large crowd from the city was with her. Luke 7:11–12Try to imagine this mother. She had been married, she and her husband had a child, they raised their child, she and her son watched her husband die, and then she watched her son die and was participating in his funeral. Since he was her only son, she was now alone.When we think about this woman, it is easy to feel compassion for her. Her heart would have been filled with a sorrow that is tangible to anyone with empathy. Her heart might also have been filled with fear. At that time, a widow would have had a very difficult time taking care of herself in a rural village. With her husband gone, she would have had to rely upon her son to provide for her as she aged. But now that he was gone, her heart would have not only felt the pain of his loss, but also fear for her future. What would become of her? Who would provide food for her year after year? Would she be reduced to begging and poverty?It is in the context of this very real sorrow and fear that Jesus enters her life. We do not know if she knew anything about Jesus. It appears she was not one of His followers and might not have even heard about Jesus since He had not been ministering publicly for very long. Jesus' encounter with her and her dead son appears to be unplanned and unexpected. What is it that moves Jesus to raise this man from the dead? It does not appear to be a response to anyone's faith within the village. It is not even done at anyone's request. Instead, it appears to be done purely out of Jesus' compassion for this mother. At least that's how it seems at first read. And though Jesus clearly acted out of compassion for her, if we consider the entire context, there might also be a secondary motive.Jesus, his disciples and a large crowd were all walking together through this village. Since Jesus' miracles were normally performed in response to people's faith, it is most likely that faith was a contributing factor to this miracle. The faith that called forth this miracle, however, could only have come from the crowds of people who were walking with Jesus from Capernaum. The day prior, these same crowds witnessed Jesus heal the servant of a centurion. They clearly believed in Jesus. As they walked with Him and encountered this funeral procession, it was not only Jesus' heart that was moved with compassion, it was also the hearts of His followers. Therefore, as Jesus' followers witnessed this mother's sorrow and then witnessed Jesus' own human sorrow and compassion for her, they would have had hope that He would do something. Their hope would have been supernatural in origin, which means that it was also united with faith. By faith, they knew Jesus would act. Thus, in a very real way, the compassion, hope and faith of the people traveling with Jesus would have called forth His almighty power to heal, and Jesus responded.There are many ways to act as mediators of God's grace. One way to do so is by growing in compassion for others and hope in God. When we witness the sufferings of others, allow ourselves to feel compassion for them, manifest hope in the power of God to heal, and then stand there, in faith, waiting for God to act, God will be compelled to act. Our holy compassion, hope and faith act as a prayer to which God always responds. The crowds accompanying Jesus through the Village of Nain appear to have acted in this manner and, inspired by their witness, we, too, must act as intercessors for others in the same way.Reflect, today, upon anyone in your life who resembles this widow of Nain. Who is it that God wants you to notice and to feel compassion for? As your empathetic heart notices those who need your compassion, open yourself, also, to the supernatural gift of hope. Have divine hope that God will heal them. As you do, allow that hope to manifest faith in God and offer that compassion, hope and faith to God as your prayer for those who are in need.Most compassionate Lord, You are always attentive to our needs and our sorrows. Your Heart is filled with compassion for all. Please give me a truly empathetic heart so that I will see those in need. As I do, fill me with hope and faith that You will pour forth Your mercy upon them so that I will become an intercessor for all. Jesus, I trust in You.  Image: Andreas F.

Welcome to the Future Generations Podcast with Guest Alyssa Campbell, author of "Tiny Humans, Big Emotions" (New York Times Bestseller) and her newest book "Big Kids, Bigger Feelings" out this September. In this episode, Dr. Stanton Hom talks with Alyssa Campbell, diving deep into the complex world of children's emotional intelligence and nervous system development. Targeting parents of children aged 5-12, educators, and child development professionals, the conversation explores the nine sensory systems, how children process stimuli, and provides practical strategies for supporting emotional growth. Campbell breaks down the unique ways children experience and regulate their emotions, offering insights that can help parents move from reactive parenting to intentional, compassionate guidance.   Highlights: "All behaviors are communication of a need."   "What we're sensitive to drains our nervous system. What we're seeking recharges it."   "We're all unique humans, and the way our nervous system works is unique."   "It's not a question of whether your body is wise. The question is, what is your body trying to say?"   Timestamps: 03:45 - Introduction 08:01 - Exploring the Nine Sensory Systems 13:07 - Understanding Sensitivity vs. Seeking in Nervous System 25:38 - Collaborative Emotion Processing Method Explained 30:34 - Practical Strategies for Nervous System Regulation 34:38 - Deep Dive into Emotion Processing Steps 41:16 - COVID-19's Impact on Children's Emotional Development 44:27 - The Power of Compassion in Parenting 49:33 - Alyssa Campbell's Mission and Future Vision 53:07 - How to Connect and Learn More   Resources:   Remember to Rate, Review, and Subscribe on iTunes and Follow us on Spotify!   Learn more about Dr. Stanton Hom on:   Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drstantonhom  Website: https://futuregenerationssd.com/    Podcast Website: https://thefuturegen.com Twitter: https://twitter.com/drstantonhom  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/stanhomdc  Stay Connected with the Future Generations Podcast:   Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/futuregenpodcast  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/futuregenpodcast/    Links:    https://www.thehivemethod.co/ https://www.instagram.com/thehivemethod.co   About Alyssa Campbell: Alyssa Campbell M.Ed., is an emotional intelligence researcher, Founder and the CEO of Seed & Sew, host of the Voices of Your Village podcast and author of Big Kids, Bigger Feelings: Navigating Defiance, Meltdowns, Anxiety to Raise Confident, Connected Kids (HarperCollins Harvest, 9/16/25).

In Week 2 of our Get Well Soon series Pastor Aaron McRae teaches from Mark 3:1–6, showing how Jesus heals a man with a withered hand and reveals that true transformation begins in the heart. Discover how to surrender control, receive healing, and live with the compassion of Christ.Jesus responds to conflict—not by retreating or lashing out, but with compassion and courage. In Mark 3, we see Jesus heal a man with a withered hand in front of critics who were ready to trap Him. While the Pharisees' hearts grew harder, Jesus revealed that God's heart is always tender toward those who are hurting.This message reminds us that our greatest brokenness is not just in our circumstances but in our hearts, and Jesus is the only one who can restore us. Whether you identify with the man in need, the critical Pharisees, or the onlooking disciples, this teaching invites you to stretch out your hands to Jesus—surrendering control, receiving His healing, and lifting them in praise.Key ScripturesMark 3:1–6 – Jesus heals on the SabbathJohn 9 – Jesus redefines suffering and God's gloryExodus 31:12–14 – Sabbath law and life1 John 2:1–2 – Jesus as our AdvocatePsalm 103:13 – God's compassion as a FatherJames 4:8–10 – Purify your hearts, humble yourselvesPsalm 63:3–4 – Lift up your hands in praiseKey Resources & QuotesJohn Ortberg, Steps — “The Fellowship of the Withered Hand...”Dane Ortlund, Gentle and Lowly — on Jesus' righteous anger and tender compassionReflections on spiritual formation and the danger of hardening heartsFor the full gathering of this message which includes worship, visit our Youtube channel.

When the Pharisees grumbled at Jesus for welcoming sinners, he told the parables of the lost sheep and coin. These stories demonstrate the Father's deep love in his willingness to leave the many to rescue the one and in the joy of heaven when the lost ones come home. Instead of condemning the Pharisees, we are invited to examine our own hearts. Where do we hold contempt for others? Following the path of Jesus means seeing our neighbors—who are sick, sad, and scared—with compassion and love.

In this episode, Kelly unpacks why so many of us feel numb and how we can shift toward curiosity, compassion, and connection even in dark times. She shares powerful insights on how the Bible offers hidden wisdom for mindset, the tools that retrain the brain to process grief and stress, and the importance of creating curiosity, joy, and meaningful experiences that truly matter. This episode is all about moving from numbing to living with clarity and purpose. [2:23] The Bible's Hidden Wisdom “I bought my first Bible back in March, and I have been reading it, especially because someone once told me, ‘It's the greatest mindset book. It's the greatest psychological book you'll ever read.” [8:50] Tools for Healing “Your brain can be retrained. With the right tools, you can process grief and stress instead of burying it. Even small daily practices help rebuild empathy and restore clarity.” [14:36] Create What Matters “Let's stop numbing ourselves  and create more joy. Create, that's a key word. Create.

Tune in here to this Monday's edition of the Brett Winterble Show! Brett kicks off the program by talking about the deep sorrow and outrage surrounding the recent tragedy involving Charlie Kirk’s wife and the disturbing public reactions to her death. He reflects on the cruelty of those who celebrate suffering, especially when innocent spouses and children are affected. Brett urges his audience not to respond with hatred or violence, but with prayer and compassion. Acknowledging that some people are deeply damaged—by trauma, politics, or personal struggles—he encourages listeners to pray for healing and peace, rather than vengeance. Drawing on Christian values, Brett emphasizes the power of faith and moral restraint in the face of evil. He reminds his audience that judgment, not confrontation, is what these people fear most. In closing, he pleads for empathy and moral clarity, insisting that decency still matters and that spiritual strength is the most powerful response to hate. Listen here for all of this and more on The Brett Winterble Show! For more from Brett Winterble check out his YouTube channel. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It is not about forcing someone to think differently, it is about creating a space where common ground can be found. I reflect on the idea that our world is not about absolutes or choosing one side over another. Instead, it is about embracing “and” — holding multiple truths while staying open to others' perspectives.I tell a story of reconnecting with someone I met years ago who continues to inspire me with quotes and reflections, including the powerful reminder that if we spread love as quickly as we spread hate, the world would be transformed. This message highlights the power of small daily actions, choosing compassion, and offering love as an alternative to negativity.We may not be able to change everyone, and we certainly cannot demand change, but we can choose to look for the good in others and start with ourselves. It begins with understanding, patience, and one meaningful conversation at a time.If this message resonates, I would love to hear from you.

A Humble Life Mark 10:45 – For even the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve others and to give his life as a ransom for many.” NLT 1. The heart of a humble disciple. Philippians 2:1-4 – Is there any encouragement from belonging to Christ? Any comfort from his love? Any fellowship together in the Spirit? Are your hearts tender and compassionate? 2 Then make me truly happy by agreeing wholeheartedly with each other, loving one another, and working together with one mind and purpose. 3 Don’t be selfish; don’t try to impress others. Be humble, thinking of others as better than yourselves. 4 Don’t look out only for your own interests, but take an interest in others, too. NLT Matthew 14:14 - Jesus saw the huge crowd as he stepped from the boat, and he had compassion on them and healed their sick. NLT 2. The head of a humble disciple. Philippians 2:5 - You must have the same attitude that Christ Jesus had. NLT 3. The hands of a humble disciple. Philippians 2:6-8 – Though he was God, he did not think of equality with God as something to cling to. 7 Instead, he gave up his divine privileges; he took the humble position of a slave and was born as a human being. When he appeared in human form, 8 he humbled himself in obedience to God and died a criminal’s death on a cross. NLT John 13:3-5 - Jesus knew that the Father had given him authority over everything and that he had come from God and would return to God. 4 So he got up from the table, took off his robe, wrapped a towel around his waist, 5 and poured water into a basin. Then he began to wash the disciples’ feet, drying them with the towel he had around him. NLT Proverbs 11:25 - Those who refresh others will themselves be refreshed. NLT

The true measure of compassion is not how we feel but what we do. This message can change how you view Jesus and yourself. When life gets tough, we want to pull back and shield ourselves from pain. Yet, in a powerful moment of Jesus' ministry, we see something different. After hearing about John the Baptist's execution, Jesus went off to grieve. But crowds seeking healing followed him. Instead of sending them away, he felt deep compassion and healed their sick. This wasn't just sympathy; it was a gut-level response that moved him physically. Even in grief, Jesus looked beyond himself to the broken people before him. He didn't just feel sorry; he acted.Jesus' compassion led him to the cross. From sympathy to sacrifice, from feeling to action. Real compassion costs something. It may cost your time, comfort, and even your ego. But that's where the miracle happens: when we say, "Lord, here I am. Use me for something greater than myself." What impossible situation are you facing today? What "little bit" can you offer to God? The miracle is waiting to happen in your hands.Support the showMade a decision to follow Jesus? We want to know about it!

This healing rest journey is specifically created for the days leading up to the high holidays of Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur.  This session invites you to lie down in a comfortable space and connect deeply with your breath, encouraging relaxation and introspection. Drawing inspiration from Rabbi Avraham Joshua Heschel's teachings, this practice encourages you to release judgment and embrace a state of compassionate witnessing. Throughout the practice, you'll journey through the five gateways of consciousness, culminating in a transcendent experience of unity in the field of compassion. This episode offers a chance to plant an intention-- a special kavanah-- and let it resonate deeply within you.  Listen in and allow yourself to be enveloped in the warmth of compassion. Episode Summary: Here's what you can expect: Preparation: Begin by settling into a comfortable position. Make sure you're fully supported completely at ease, ready to embark on this journey of introspection and spiritual awareness.  Intention Setting: You will be guided to set a powerful Sankalpa/kavanah (intention) for this practice. Choose a meaningful, positive "I am..." statement that resonates with your heart and soul, reflecting your life's orienting resolve and deepest truth. Rotation of Consciousness: Experience a thorough body scan by focusing on each part of your body to rotate your consciousness into a state of deep healing rest.  Breath Awareness: Practice guided breathwork to connect with your compassionate heart Visualization:  Rest in deep awareness experiencing vivid guided imagery Return to Your Intention: Reconnect with the intention you set earlier. Let it sink deeply into your being and guide you towards spiritual elevation and self-realization.

✨ So often, we move through our days carrying feelings we haven't had time to notice. When our feelings go unacknowledged, they don't disappear… they linger in the body, showing up as stress, tension, and a sense of being disconnected from ourselves. In this episode of Somatic Healing Meditations, I guide you through a Daily Emotional Reset. It's a soothing somatic practice to gently check in with yourself, shift your emotional state, and calm your nervous system. Think of it as daily tending: a compassionate reset that gives your emotions the care they've been asking for. This practice combines soothing self-touch with the simple but powerful act of naming what you feel (inspired by a process called Transpirational Havening). Together, these tools help quiet the amygdala, soften emotional intensity, and open space for more clarity and compassion. If you've been longing for a simple, supportive way to feel calmer, clearer, and more connected to yourself, this episode is for you.

Wesley Tabor Sr. grew up poor in a broken home, raised by a single mom who later married a convicted felon. Instead of following that path, Wesley became a cop and eventually joined the DEA, where he built a successful 23-year career fighting cartels, gangs, and drug traffickers. In this powerful interview, Wesley reveals how cartels smuggle drugs into the United States, the rise of violent gangs like MS-13, Tren de Aragua, and the Mexican Mafia, and why he believes there's no real justice in America's system. He also opens up about the DUI crash that nearly paralyzed him and almost ended his career, along with unbelievable stories from decades on the frontlines of the war on drugs. This is an unfiltered look into the dangerous world of organized crime, cartel trafficking, and the failures of the justice system—from someone who lived it every day. #DEA #Cartels #DrugTrafficking #MS13 #MexicanMafia #TrueCrimePodcast #TrendeAragua #organizedcrime Thank you to PRIZEPICKS for sponsoring this episode: Visit https://prizepicks.onelink.me/LME0/IANBICK and use code IANBICK and get $50 in lineups when you play your first $5 lineup!
