Podcasts about Dark Times

When we agree to practice joy through community, connection, and belonging in its own powerful way, it is an act of defiance to what's going on around us. We must ask ourselves, particularly in these difficult times, what we are fighting for? We fight for a meaningful world that yields joy. This commitment to fostering shared happiness becomes the ultimate evidence of resilience and a deeply healing public force.When we agree to practice joy through community, connection, and belonging in its own powerful way, it is an act of defiance to what's going on around us.

Women in Dark Times (Fitzcarraldo) begins with three remarkable women: revolutionary socialist Rosa Luxemburg; German-Jewish painter Charlotte Salomon; and film icon Marilyn Monroe. The story of these women blazes a trail across some of the defining features of the twentieth century – revolution, totalitarianism and the American dream – and compels us to reckon with the unspeakable. Extending her argument into the present, Rose turns her focus to ‘honour' killings and celebrates contemporary artists whose work grows out of an unflinching engagement with all that is darkest in the modern world. Women in Dark Times, reissued a decade after its original publication, offers a template for a scandalous feminism, one which confronts all that is most recalcitrant and unsettling in the struggle to create a better world. Jacqueline Rose was in conversation about her work with Yasmin El-Rifae, co-producer of The Palestine Festival of Literature and author of Radius.

The world feels heavy right now. Between political assassinations, economic chaos, and nonstop bad news, it's easy to get dragged into the dark places—especially if you're doomscrolling algorithms that push you toward the extremes. That's exactly why community is more important now than ever.

In this episode, we talk with Michael about the importance of mentors and how sometimes they transition to colleagues as we find our own footing in our creative work, stepping into our own creative identity. He reads “What Name for This,” from his book Worldly Things, and we use the poem as a launching pad to talk about creative relationships, why we write and how attentiveness to the specific can lead us to questions about the universal, and making art out of the ordinary. And, in thinking about the role of the artist in a difficult time, Michael shares his controversial idea about the role of the artist in “dark times.”Michael Kleber-Diggs (KLEE-burr digs) is a poet, essayist, literary critic, and arts educator. He is the author of My Weight in Water, a memoir about his complicated relationship with lap swimming (forthcoming with Spiegel & Grau, 2026). Michael's debut poetry collection, Worldly Things, won the Max Ritvo Poetry Prize and was published by Milkweed Editions in 2021. The New York Times Book Review said his poems, “see the whole, allowing daily intimacies against a backdrop of social injustice.”His poems and essays often explore themes of intimacy, community, empathy, and grace, practices he believes are simultaneously distinct and interdependent. Michael is a 2023-2025 Jerome Hill Artist Fellow in Literature, and he teaches creative writing at Augsburg University and through the Minnesota Prison Writing Workshop. Michael is married to Karen Kleber-Diggs, a tropical horticulturist and orchid specialist. Karen and Michael have a daughter, Elinor, who lives in New York City and works as a professional dancer.

Drawing from the martyrdom of St. Stephen and the radical conversion of St. Paul, this reflection wrestles with the pain of watching evil glorified—and the hope that even the darkest hearts can be changed.

Episode Summary: The assassination of Charlie Kirk is a sobering reminder of how dark our cultural moment has become. Is there still room for civil discourse about what is good and true? What has led to such a loss of respect for human life?Charlie modeled courage and moral clarity. True Christian love means speaking truth against lies that dehumanize, even when it costs us. Our battle is not against people but against destructive worldviews. Bad ideas have real victims, but the gospel equips us to tear down systems built on lies with persistent truth-telling.The church needs to engage today's cultural battles like Christ, with clarity, compassion, and courage, aiming to set the captives free, no matter the personal cost. Join us as we explore how Christians can confront false ideologies while still loving those imprisoned by them.Who is Disciple Nations Alliance (DNA)? Since 1997, DNA's mission has been to equip followers of Jesus around the globe with a biblical worldview, empowering them to build flourishing families, communities, and nations.

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. Create curiosity. Create memorable experiences. Create  content that provides an emotional response in a good way to people.” Connect with Kelly here: Follow Me on Instagram at @chaselifewithkelly - https://www.instagram.com/chaselifewithkelly/ Follow Me on TikTok at @iamkellychase - https://www.tiktok.com/@iamkellychase _t=8WCIP546ma6&_r=1 Subscribe to My YouTube Channel - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCNqhN0CXWVATKfUjwrm65-g Work with Me: Private 1:1 Business & Mindset Coaching- More Details- https://www.chaselifewithkelly.com/private-coaching  Rejection to Redemption - More Details: https://www.chaselifewithkelly.com/rejection-to-redemption  Online Business Accelerator- More Details: https://www.chaselifewithkelly.com/online-business-accelerator  Money Magnet - More Details: https://www.chaselifewithkelly.com/money-magnet  Goddess Magic Course Bundle - More Details - https://www.chaselifewithkelly.com/goddess-magic   Kelly's Favorites Visit Our Website!

In week 5 of our Heroes series, we look at the life and calling of Jonah. When the days seem dark and full of evil, God's love and light shines through His people. Jonah's story reminds us that even when we resist, God's call on our life remains. His love shines brightest in the darkest times, and He desires to use us to reach those who need Him most. We pray this message encourages you to answer God's call and let His love shine through you.

Life As It Was Meant To Be | Week 1: Finding God in Dark Times // Ryland Walter // When you need an answer to a problem in your life, where do you look? To whom or what do you turn? You may have heard the Lord's prayer, but do you understand what the words truly mean? Have you uncovered God's wisdom from it? Many have overlooked the profound truths offered in these phrases. In this Spiritual Growth Campaign, we will explore the sacred wisdom of the Lord's Prayer, line by line, to teach us what we stand to gain from being connected to God. The Lord's Prayer takes only 30 seconds to pray, but Jesus lived this prayer. It's a pattern for prayer and a pattern for life. When you understand The Lord's Prayer, you will understand Life As It Was Meant To Be.

September 14, 2025Dr. Mark AmbroseHow to Find Stability When the World is Unstable1 Timothy 6:12a

"Today was supposed to be week 5 of 6 for our series called The Antioch Initiative - an exciting season that we are in as a church - casting vision for our future and where we are headed for the next chapter of the life of our church. But with the tragic week we walked through, we need to shift gears today. We need to spend today lamenting, grieving, and turning to the truth of God's word to guide us."

We live in a world that is undeniably broken and dark, and this past week has been a heavy reminder of that reality. Many of us are carrying burdens—personal struggles, grief, confusion, and even anger at the violence and evil we see around us. Yet, in the midst of all this, we must remember that Jesus Christ has already won the victory. The answer to what ails our culture, our nation, and our own hearts is not found in politics, revenge, or human effort, but in the gospel of Jesus Christ. He alone brings the grace, forgiveness, and love that can transform lives and heal what is broken.It's easy, especially when we are hurt or outraged, to focus our anger on people. But Scripture teaches us that our real enemy is not flesh and blood, but the spiritual forces of evil that operate behind the scenes. The devil, our flesh, and the world system are the true adversaries, and we must not be ignorant of their schemes. When we fixate on people, we allow the real enemy to go undetected and unchecked, wreaking havoc in our lives and communities.Paul's words in Ephesians 6 remind us to stand firm, not in our own strength, but in the Lord's mighty power. We are called to put on the full armor of God, to recognize the unseen battle, and to resist the urge to fight with the weapons of this world. Jesus calls us to a radically different way: to overcome evil with good, to love and pray for our enemies, and to let the Holy Spirit produce in us what we cannot manufacture ourselves—love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, and self-control.This is not easy. In fact, it's impossible in our own strength. But as we die to ourselves and allow the Spirit to fill us, we become people who can bring light into darkness. We are called to be on offense, not defense—to take the gospel boldly into the world, to pray, to praise, and to trust that God is sovereign and just. Even in the darkest times, God can redeem and use what the enemy meant for harm. Our calling is to bring heaven to earth, to be light in the darkness, and to trust that Jesus is building His church, and nothing can prevail against it.Youtube Chapters[00:00] - Welcome[01:10] - A Heavy Week: Grief and Brokenness[03:00] - Violence and the Reality of Evil[05:38] - The Only Answer: The Gospel[08:37] - Our Real Enemy: Not Flesh and Blood[10:15] - The Three Enemies: Devil, Flesh, World[13:10] - Paul's Transformation and Mission[15:27] - Ephesians 6: Standing Firm[16:42] - The Unseen Battle[18:53] - The Way of Jesus vs. The Way of the Flesh[20:14] - Loving and Praying for Enemies[21:41] - The Fruit of the Spirit in Dark Times[22:55] - Romans 12: Living Honorably and Peaceably[39:05] - How We Fight: Prayer and Praise[40:59] - Humility and Drawing Near to God[42:26] - Praying for Our Nation and Leaders[43:26] - The Power of Jesus' Name[46:13] - Bringing Heaven to Earth[52:15] - Closing Blessing and Invitation to Prayer

Disclaimer: This episode was filmed prior to the assassination of Charlie Kirk. But Glenn believes Max's message is needed now more than ever. The political world is divided, constantly at war with itself. In many ways, our own lives are not much different. Why do we constantly focus on the negative? Why are we in pain? Where is God amid our anxiety and fear? Why can't we ever seem to change? Pastor Max Lucado has found the solution: Stop thinking like that! It may seem easier said than done, but Max joins Glenn Beck to unpack the three tools he describes in his new book, “Tame Your Thoughts,” that make it easy for us to reset the way we think back to God's factory settings. In this much-needed conversation, Max and Glenn tackle everything from feeling doubt as a parent to facing unfair hardships to ... UFOs?! Plus, Max shares what he recently got tattooed on his arm.  Sponsors: Relief Factor Tired of pain controlling your life? Try Relief Factor's three-week QuickStart for only $19.95.

The tragic death of Charlie Kirk marks more than the loss of a cultural leader — it highlights the civilizational moment we find ourselves in. In this video, Christian Barrett examines what his assassination means for Western values, the culture war, and the urgent need for Christians to stand for truth in the global public square. From questions of suffering to the influence of thinkers like Os Guinness and how we should see the difference between 1776 and 1789, he explores how believers can respond with conviction and hope as salt and light in this civilizational moment. This video also considers the secular agenda shaping our culture, the call to revival and renewal, and what Charlie Kirk's legacy means for the future of Western values.

Episode 69 is a solo episode from me. I want to offer you all some insights around building hope- how it's messy and dark, not easy and joyful. We'll explore how hope is a relational concept, how it grows through action, and we'll draw on wisdom from BIPOC activists and how they remained hopeful during times of political unrest and oppression. We'll also explore the concept of relative safety, and practice cultivating it in our own bodies.

For award-winning poet and bestselling author Ross Gay, joy and delight aren't frivolous or a privilege. He argues they're absolutely essential to a meaningful life — especially in the face of grief, sadness and suffering. "I think of joy, which gets us to love, as being a practice of survival," writes Gay. *This episode originally aired on April 2, 2024.

“There's something I find strangely moving about the ‘Extracts' section of Moby Dick—before we even get into the text—by virtue of the attention that has been paid to the whale,” writer Wyatt Mason says in this episode of The World in Time. “It's astonishing as you're reading through. It's proof of two kinds of life. It's proof of the life of the creature itself. But it's also proof of the life of the mind and the attention that we pay—meaning, we readers and we writers pay—through time to this creature, which is very different from the elephant because most of us never see one in our lifetimes. If we're fortunate, we might, but for the most part, no. So they reside or they live in texts.” With this episode, the second in an intermittent series on the literature, history, and science of the sea, The World in Time launches onto the waters of Moby Dick. The episode begins with excerpts from a pair of conversations Lewis Lapham recorded during his final years as host. First, Lapham speaks with Richard J. King about his 2019 book, Ahab's Rolling Sea: A Natural History of Moby-Dick. In the second excerpted interview, recorded in 2022, Lapham talks with Aaron Sachs about Up From the Depths: Herman Melville, Lewis Mumford, and Rediscovery in Dark Times. The episode concludes with a new conversation. Wyatt Mason and Donovan Hohn talk about the first time they read Moby Dick, about teaching Melville's novel to incarcerated students enrolled in the Bard Prison Initiative, and then, like a pair of sub-sub-librarians, they swim through two curious documents, “Etymologies” and “Extracts,” that precede the famous first sentence of Melville's tragic Leviathan American novel.
