In this episode of Fishing Without Bait, host Jim Ellermeyer and co-host Mike explore the difference between spirituality and organized religion and what it truly means to nurture your spirit. Together, they revisit the timeless teachings of Jesus, focusing on his central message of love, compassion, and self-discovery — a message that's often been overshadowed by societal control, rigid traditions, and centuries of interpretation. We'll discuss: • Why spirituality is about personal connection rather than institutional rules. • The two greatest commandments Jesus taught and why they free us from fear. • Insights from alternative gospels like Thomas and Mary Magdalene that emphasize the divine spark within. • How to embrace mindfulness, self-validation, and inner freedom in your daily life. Jim challenges us to see the divine within ourselves and others, and to choose kindness, forgiveness, and mindful living as a way of nurturing that spark.

The antidote for anxiety is compassionate living. Jesus wept with those who wept, but he never allowed people to dwell in self-pity. His compassion moved people to change, not to stay in their misery. And he taught that living compassionately has just as great an effect on the person who helps as the person who is helped, maybe even more so. Explore how this works in this episode of Gospel Wabi Sabi.

Some advocates in environmental and animal activism argue that we should solely focus on changing the system through government and corporate campaigns, discouraging grassroots action and personal change.

Jay systematically debunks the faulty argumentation and refutes its flawed analogies. She offers insightful perspectives on veganism as a boycott, a social justice issue, and the history of vegetarianism, highlighting its differences from the current context. Then, continuing the conversation about the importance of individual action, Jay talks about Gandhi and the Kahdi (homespun cotton) movement, comparing the British cotton boycott during the British occupation of India to the boycott of animal products today.

Deuteronomy 15 outlines God's instructions to Israel concerning economic justice, debt forgiveness, and care for the poor. Every seven years, the Israelites were commanded to observe a year of release, where debts were forgiven and fellow Israelites who were enslaved due to poverty were to be set free. This was not just a financial reset but a reflection of God's mercy and provision. The chapter emphasizes that there should be no poor among them—if they obeyed the Lord and followed His commands, He would bless them abundantly. However, in reality, God acknowledges that there will always be poor in the land, and so He commands His people to be open-handed and generous, lending freely without expecting repayment and treating the vulnerable with dignity. Deuteronomy 15 also speaks about releasing Hebrew slaves in the seventh year, not sending them away empty-handed but blessing them generously, as a reflection of God's deliverance of Israel from slavery in Egypt. This chapter teaches that godly stewardship involves more than personal prosperity—it calls for intentional compassion, fairness, and freedom, showing how a community governed by God's heart treats the poor and oppressed.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/sendme-radio--732966/support.

The number one of which has really been so valuable is to back yourself 100%. You can't rely on circumstances or what's turning up today, tomorrow, or next year, but you can rely on yourself. And you can rely on yourself to turn up and to continually get better and to back yourself to come up with the goods. – Kate GalliShow Notes:

Dr. Tushar Mehta practices Emergency Medicine in the Toronto area and is the co-founder of Towards Ahimsa and Plant Based Data, a free database which organizes academic and institutional literature regarding plant-based diet health, environment, food security, and zoonotic pandemic risk. Tushar will be speaking at Compassionate Living's upcoming Ahimsa Vegan Conference. Tushar joins us to discuss the environmental impact of animal agriculture and thoroughly debunks “regenerative” grazing. He also addresses common arguments for eating local and other “sustainable” meat, dairy, and eggs. He warns of animal farming's resource intensive use of land and water and offers solutions that we so desperately need as we swelter in the new normal of extreme summer heat, floods, and fires. This is a rebroadcast of an interview with Tushar in 2021. Resources:Ahimsa Vegan ConferenceAnother Industry Attempt to Greenwash BeefPlant-Based Data

Meet Benjamin (Ben) Hagerty, a passionate traveler and co-manager of the travel blog, It's Bree and Ben, alongside his wife, Brianne Nemiroff. Their journey goes beyond typical travel experiences as they explore sustainable tourism and embrace a vegan business philosophy. Through their platform, they offer valuable insights, travel guides, and essays about vegan and plant-based travel, making a positive impact on fellow travelers seeking mindful and sustainable adventures. Benjamin's love for flavors and dishes associated with a vegan diet began during his upbringing in the vibrant San Francisco Bay area. However, it wasn't until 2015 that he and his wife, Bree, decided to fully embrace the vegan lifestyle after a one-week trial. To their delight, they felt great after abstaining from meat, prompting them to transition gradually into a vegan way of life. In 2017, after tying the knot, Benjamin and Bree embarked on an extraordinary road trip adventure across the U.S. and Canada. Their year-long journey became a unique blend of travel and work, as Benjamin continued to work remotely as a travel consultant while documenting vegan-friendly places for their website. Their travel experiences uncovered surprising vegan-friendly areas in unexpected places. Along the way, they encountered vibrant vegan communities in St. Louis and Kansas City, showcasing innovative and creative approaches to veganism beyond the West Coast and New England. Inspired by their journey, Benjamin and Bree established their website, It's Bree and Ben. Beyond just providing information on vegan-friendly restaurants and venues, they aim to promote mindful and sustainable travel practices that align with vegan philosophy. As part of his graduate school project, Benjamin conducted extensive research, uncovering four key areas of concern that shape the experiences of individuals and businesses in the vegan entrepreneurship niche. These areas include the impetus of health and well-being, the framework of inclusivity, facing "vegan phobia" and discrimination, and the cost of doing vegan business. Despite the challenges faced by vegan entrepreneurs, Benjamin and Bree honor the vegan lifestyle, viewing it not just as a dietary choice but as a way of life encompassing compassion, environmental consciousness, and empathy. Through It's Bree and Ben, they share valuable insights into exploring the world through a compassionate lens, appreciating the abundance of experiences that a vegan lifestyle can offer. Their journey exemplifies the profound connection between sustainable tourism, veganism, and mindful travel. As a community, we can support and uplift compassionate entrepreneurs like Benjamin and Bree while making conscious choices that positively impact the world around us.

On this episode we have our second session of the Humane Hoax Book Club with two of Compassionate Living's Humane Hoax Team volunteers Marian Erikson and Fireweed. We talked about a few of the chapters from the new anthology, The Humane Hoax: Essays Exposing the Myth of Happy Meat, Humane Dairy, and Ethical Eggs. A fascinating chapter we examine is called “Murder She Wrote” about the memoirs of Femivores, women who own farms and dominate and kill animals in an attempt to gain equality in the male dominated spaces of farming, hunting, and butchery. We explore other chapters that focus on speciesist language, the cognitive dissonance of consuming animals, and we expose foodie culture for its celebration of violence. Resources:Order the Book!

If I'm not careful, I fall into the trap of only noticing the worst leaders, the worst organizations, the worst situations. That's perhaps because people often wait until crises to call on a consultant so when I get there, I see them at their worst.In reality, there is a tremendous amount of compassion and kindness demonstrated by leaders everywhere. If you're slipping into cynicism or apathy, pay close attention to this short podcast. I'm going to give 5 strategies to grow in compassionate leadership.

What is Compassionate living? Have you wondered? Is it a way of living where one's mind and heart are both open to understanding others' experiences, or is it our shared connectivity with all life, where one acts from that place of informed caring?
