Podcasts about disillusionment

On this weeks' Debate, Brian brings a truckload of acronyms for more single panes of glass to help us consolidate our various single panes of glass, Erik may actually be Brian (or maybe Brian is Erik), and Dan confirms he still (and likely always will) spend the rest of his days living in the house he just built deep in the Trough of Disillusionment.What started out as a chat about some new technologies in the space turned into a treatise on the state of leadership and the future talent pipeline's need for more curiosity (and why we think they are starved of the opportunity to learn to be curious). Along the way we talk about what motivates organisations to do security right from the get go vs leaving it alone based on difficulty to remediate, and the risk balances of both (think: productivity vs security). Throw in a little “binary opinions have dragged us into the mire” and you've got a full episode of The Great Security Debate.We also drop some hints about a new show coming from The Distilling Security network in 2026 called The Final Act which will bring guests in the later stages of their careers about the urgency of our careers in security and tech, what they want to leave behind as legacy, and what they are doing to prepare their orgs for their eventual departure. Add on how they have and will give back to the community, and what their successors want to see done before this first generation of security and tech leaders hit the road.Please subscribe and leave a comment.

Yeah, this one's a tough one. Jesus gets all apocalyptic up in this place. In this passage, the disciples and Jesus have just come from Samaria. In Samaria, they would have been surrounded by people who were different from them in every way imaginable. So when they finally get to Jerusalem, they're feeling good. They're now on home turf. They see the temple and they're awestruck. A bit about the temple. It was architecturally awesome, with large, impressive stones and the gilded walls. But Jesus, yeah, he's not impressed. He's like, "Pretty soon this whole thing is going to be crumbled to the ground." They're looking at the same thing - but they don't see the same thing. The disciples see a picture - a symbol that God is with them on their side. They see a picture of spiritual and religious certainty and permanence. And Jesus says, "Yeah, that isn't quite true. You can't keep God domesticated. You can't keep God within anything you create." He brings disillusionment into their lives. Disillusionment is necessary for the life of faith. That will lead us to some questions: What lies or illusions do we sometimes mistake for the truth? Who says, "I am he! I will save you!" - and why do we sometimes listen? Why do we cling to certainty and permanence when Jesus calls us to learn and grow and change and evolve? We need disillusionment - we need death, before the promise of resurrection, new hope and new life. So how do we live when it seems like the world is falling apart? Jesus says, "Do not be frightened. Do not worry beforehand." Yeah, easier said than done. Well, we endure anyway - even when it seems like the world is falling apart. But HOW do we endure? We'll move to the table which might be the only symbol that will save us. Self-sacrificing, self-giving love. The table, where all are welcome - where we're all on the same level - where there are no hierarchies and everyone belongs. The table - where we all recognize that all of us are on the same team - made of the same stuff - in need of the same nourishment. So we receive from God that nourishment - and we participate in making sure that everyone gets that nourishment - gets what they need to live full healthy lives in the here and now. Even while we struggle. Speaker: Aaron Vis Scripture: Luke 21:5-19 http://bible.com/events/49519653

When life suddenly feels unclear and the path you’ve been walking seems to disappear beneath your feet, it’s easy to assume something has gone wrong. But Ecclesiastes 3:11 reminds us that God is always at work—even when our view is obstructed. Sometimes confusion isn’t a setback; it’s a signal that God is shifting your direction, preparing new ground, or ushering you into a fresh season. What looks like disorientation may actually be His gentle nudge to lift your eyes, trust Him again, and follow where He’s leading next. Highlights Confusion can be a sign of transition, not failure. God often uses unexpected moments to redirect our steps. Old paths may fade so new ones can form. What feels like “lost” may actually be God’s protection or preparation. Faith invites us to walk even when visibility is low. Seasonal shifts in life often require new vision and fresh trust. Scripture realigns our perspective when we can’t see the way forward.

Full Transcript Below: Confusion May Signal a God-TransitionBy Kelly Balarie Bible Reading:“Yet God has made everything beautiful for its own time. He has planted eternity in the human heart, but even so, people cannot see the whole scope of God’s work from beginning to end.”– Ecclesiastes 3:11 NLT God is so creative.Ever notice how He uses the most unusual things to teach us the lessons we need to know? It happened to me today... Taking a hike, I headed deep into the woods, leaves crunching underfoot. I kept my eyes alert, knowing I needed to take note of landmarks if I wanted to safely return to my car. You know how it is — it’s easy to quickly head somewhere without even realizing how you got there in the first place. That couldn’t happen; I wanted to make it home safely. At first, seeing my path was easy — that is, until it wasn’t. What used to be visible gray ground had disappeared. Now, pine needles covered my path. And confusion set in... Was I going right — toward that tall tree? Straight — toward no trees? Or left — toward a tree stump? I wasn’t so sure. Have you ever been there? Going a certain way only to suddenly experience confusion? Disillusionment? Maybe you were headed somewhere with God, only to be obstructed...Maybe you thought you were on the right path until you ran into something... This can feel discouraging and disorienting. It can happen in marriages, jobs, joys, hobbies, friendships, vision, or calling. All the same, it becomes wearying to be on a path you thought was right — only to feel lost. That’s how I felt — for a second — lost. But as I lifted my head and looked yards ahead, I saw it. There! The path. I was safe — yet again. However, those path-covering pine needles got me thinking... How did they get there to begin with? I figured they arrived one of two ways: The wind blew them there. The new season of Fall placed them there. Some of us today need to know that our confusion isn’t just about disorientation — it may be about God providing us with a new direction. And sometimes what covers the old path is actually preparing the ground for a new path. When the winds of God come, though they displace things, it can be a very good thing. It is His repositioning. It is His moving. Yes, it’s true — what we once knew can look different or even disappear. But this doesn’t mean it won’t be good. Even if we can’t see, by faith, we can still walk — trusting Him. Likewise, confusion may signal a progression into a new season. The paths we knew in the old season may not suffice in a new one, which is why seeing can be hard. The pine needles of Summer must fall to make way for Fall. We can’t hold on to what was and still step into the beautiful potential of what can be. Plus, the falling is part of the seeding of new ground. Did you know that pine needles prepare the soil and they save the path from weeds? In our not seeing, there is also God protecting us in the process of shifting seasons.So, what do we do when we find ourselves here? We readjust. We ask God if He has something new for us. We discern if He wants us to change course, change jobs, change relationships — or simply press through. Either way, we take a time-out with the Lord to listen and discern. “Yet God has made everything beautiful for its own time. He has planted eternity in the human heart, but even so, people cannot see the whole scope of God’s work from beginning to end.”(Ecclesiastes 3:11, NLT) There is a time for everything — and sometimes, there is a time when God adjusts our vision so we can walk in a new direction. If He is doing this in your life, be encouraged: He is not doing this to hurt you, but to guide you. Intersecting Faith & Life: Have you ever headed somewhere with the wrong directions? It’s frustrating, isn’t it? A left turn should have been a right turn. Ten minutes turns into twenty. We all know this: when going the wrong way, it is essential to get back on track. Part of getting back on track is to get a map. The Word of God is our map. Jesus is our Sure-Guide. Father cares. Holy Spirit is the Revealer. If you feel off track, how about you get on your knees? How about you ask God to reveal to you what He is doing and how He is guiding you? How about you keep your eyes and ears open to how He may respond?

Leave an Amazon Rating or Review for my New York Times Bestselling book, Make Money Easy!Check out the full episode: https://greatness.lnk.to/1836"Disillusionment is the process of moving from hope that things will be different to acceptance that things are the way they are." - Baya VoceBaya Voce knows the exact moment when hope becomes a prison. She's spent years guiding couples through what might be the hardest truth in any relationship: sometimes the person you love isn't going to change, no matter how many therapy sessions you attend or heartfelt conversations you have. And that realization, that moment of disillusionment, feels like the end. But here's what most people miss: it's actually the beginning of something real. Baya walks through the painful but necessary process of grieving the relationship you thought you'd have so you can finally see the one you're actually in. She talks about how the healthiest long-term relationships die and are reborn over and over, each version requiring you to let go of what came before.What makes this conversation so powerful is how Baya dismantles the toxic cycle of the "power struggle". That exhausting pattern where you keep trying to change your partner, hoping this time will be different. Lewis opens up about his own experience, sharing how his relationship with Martha has already transformed multiple times, especially now with twins on the way. You'll learn why accepting your relationship "as is" doesn't mean settling, it means finally getting clear on whether you can actually build a life here or if it's time to walk away. This isn't about fixing your relationship. It's about getting brutally honest about what's really there.Sign up for the Greatness newsletter: http://www.greatness.com/newsletter Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Divorce can indeed serve as a threshold to self-realization, individuation, and even spiritual awakening—but only if one engages the rupture consciously. It is not divorce itself that transforms, but how one metabolizes the grief, the shadow, and the disillusionment.

Is AI truly delivering ROI, or are we just “burning tokens”? In this episode of The Effortless Podcast, Amit Prakash and Dheeraj Pandey unpack the MIT report that sparked debate on AI's real impact and revisit the timeless dilemma of whether to build or buy.They frame the conversation through a pyramid of adoption—from global enterprises with engineering armies, to mid-market firms that buy and configure, to SMBs seeking plug-and-play simplicity. Along the way, they explore the economics of “Supernovas” vs. “Shooting Stars” in AI startups, the integration struggles holding back the mid-market, and the consulting-heavy pitfalls of enterprise “project thinking.”This candid discussion reflects on lessons from the dot-com era, the stubbornness of leaders like Jeff Bezos and Reed Hastings, and why iteration—not initial insight—defines whether AI experiments evolve into durable products.Key Topics & Timestamps00:00 – Introduction: Framing “Agent Season” and the MIT report02:00 – The ROI Question: Burning tokens or building value?03:00 – Why Iteration Matters More in AI Than Traditional Software04:30 – The Pyramid of Adoption: Enterprises, Mid-Market, SMBs08:00 – SMBs, Plug-and-Play AI, and Startup Archetypes12:00 – Supernovas vs. Shooting Stars: Startup Economics15:00 – Dot-Com Parallels and the Role of Cheap Capital18:00 – Disillusionment and the Stubbornness of Leadership21:00 – Infrastructure and Iteration Speed: Microsoft vs. Google30:00 – Mid-Market Struggles: Integration and Context Problems36:00 – A Warehouse for Work: RAG, Indexing, and Workflows41:00 – The Consulting Trap in Enterprises46:00 – Projects vs. Products: The Cultural Divide51:00 – Internal Apps, Workflows, and the “Build” Mentality53:00 – Adoption, Habits, and the Design Challenge55:00 – Design Partnerships as Lifelines57:00 – Final Reflections on the MIT Report & AI's FutureHosts:Dheeraj Pandey – Co-founder and CEO at DevRev, former Co-founder & CEO of Nutanix.

In this intense and eye-opening edition of Unleashing Intuition Secrets, Michael Jaco is joined by world-renowned author and investigative researcher Leo Zagami (Leo Leon) to expose the shadowy world of secret societies, religious subversion, and global power structures. The conversation unravels the hidden influence of the Jesuits and Sabbatean-Frankists and their deep ties to modern geopolitics and elite power networks. From the intrigues within the Vatican and the papacy of Leo XIV to the strategic manipulations of global leaders, Michael and Leo shed light on the unseen forces shaping world events today. This episode uncovers the disturbing connections between Jeffrey Epstein's blackmail network, Vatican finances, and the Black Nobility's financial power, providing unprecedented insight into the systemic corruption that spans governments, banks, and religious institutions. It touches on how mind control and psychological operations are used for mass influence, how the collapse of civilizations is often orchestrated by elite powers, and how emerging technologies like AI are reshaping the future of humanity. Michael and Leo also explore the lasting impact of historical events such as Pearl Harbor, the ongoing turmoil in the Middle East, the manipulations behind global politics, and the disillusionment many feel toward Trump and other leaders. This is an unflinching and thought-provoking conversation for anyone who wants to understand the intricate web of power and control operating just beyond the public eye.   00:00 Introduction and Guest Welcome 00:48 Leo's Latest Book and Papal Commentary 02:18 Papal Politics and Church Dynamics 09:12 Epstein, Maxwell, and Vatican Connections 14:23 Historical Context and Secret Societies 21:31 The Influence of Sabbatean Frankism 32:59 Modern Implications and Political Connections 37:19 Epstein's Network and Global Influence 53:36 The Collapse of Civilization 54:04 Antisemitism and the Elite 54:59 Pearl Harbor and Historical Secrets 55:54 Jeffrey Epstein and Elite Connections 57:02 Disillusionment with Trump 01:01:41 Mind Control and Psychological Operations 01:09:49 The Threat of AI 01:28:14 Middle East Conflicts and Power Dynamics 01:33:33 Final Thoughts and Reflections LANDING PAGE for people to get a "FREE" precious metals consultation with Dr. Kirk Elliott: https://www.kepm.com/jaco/ Affordable Cell Activation Technology with LifeWave: Experience miracles with a deep discount as a Brand Partner https://www.lifewave.com/michaeljaco https://michaelkjaco.com/liveyoungerwithmj/ Power of the Patch Information Resource: Go to: https://liveyounger.com/ AGE REVERSAL WITH GHK-Cu Copper Peptides contained in X-39 and X-49 https://copperpeptidebreakthrough.com Join us every week for Michael Jaco's Miracle Monday Meeting at 6:00 PM EST for Product Testimonials & Questions This 50 Minute Meeting Will Teach You Everything You Need To Know About Phototherapy & LifeWave!! ~ Great for Guests, Customers & Brand Partners ~ ⏬ Click the link below for Meeting access ⏬ Join Zoom Meeting https://us06web.zoom.us/j/87949021063 JoinMichaels Business Builder Webinar ~ Friday 6:00 EST Tune in weekly to Michael Jaco's LifeWave Business Builder Webinars feature LifeWave's top leaders sharing proven strategies, business tips, and real-world success stories to help you grow your organization and achieve lasting financial success. ⏬ Click the link below for Webinar access ⏬ https://us06web.zoom.us/j/86714931635?pwd=WQ8UTQc8o95A1g5q7bOAnRW79mPJep.1 Shop Intuitive Wellness Products to reverse the devastating effects of the vaccine impacts on cardiovascular, reproduction and greater potential for death at any time in history.

In just over a week, the incompetence and perfidy surrounding the botched "Epstein Hoax" has become as big a threat to the new administration as another assassination attempt. But it smells more like suicide. Host Mark Call suggests that the latest "Trump 180" is in fact so jarring that it's almost plausible to believe the man who ran so effectively for President on a platform antithetical to what has been happening lately is some type of body double, or AI replacement. And whatever the Truth might be, it sure looks like something big has come apart at the seams. There are vital considerations at play now: "From Complacency to Disillusionment - in less than 6 Months"

Have you or your kids ever wrestled with hard questions about faith? If so, you're not alone and you're definitely in the right place today. This week, I'm talking with Nicholas McDonald about his personal journey through disillusionment, deconstruction, and ultimately a deep renewal of his hope in Jesus. His honesty, wisdom, and compassion are such a gift to parents who are navigating this with their kids or experiencing it themselves.Here are four takeaways from our conversation:Nicholas shows how asking hard questions can actually deepen faith when approached in a safe, truth-filled environment.Community is key. He shares why isolation makes doubt heavier and how loving, honest relationships can carry us through it.Parents don't need to have all the answers. Walking with your child through their questions with empathy and humility is more powerful than a perfect explanation.Hope is always on the table even in the hardest seasons, God's love remains, and he invites us to keep wrestling, trusting, and returning.Nicholas is a pastor, writer, and speaker with a heart for helping people encounter Jesus through the truth of Scripture and the beauty of story. He is the author of The Light in Our Eyes: Rediscovering the Love, Beauty, and Freedom of Jesus in an Age of Disillusionment, and his teaching often bridges the gap between doubt and belief for a new generation of Christians.I know this conversation will encourage your heart and give you practical wisdom for those messy, holy moments of parenting. You don't have to be perfect—you just have to show up.(00:00) Introduction and Background(05:24) Disillusionment with the Church(10:46) Parenting and Faith Challenges(16:27) The Importance of Community(22:02) Hope for the Future of FaithConnect with NickX accountSubstackThe Light in Our Eyes bookResources MentionedChristian Parenting resourcesA Great Cloud of Witnesses Prayer JournalThe Christian Parenting Podcast is a part of the Christian Parenting Podcast Network.

In this thoughtful episode, Adel Nero, Frankie Val, and Zak “RedPill78” Paine step back from the news cycle to reflect on burnout, balance, and the growing disillusionment with both mainstream and alternative media. The conversation begins with stories of Fourth of July celebrations and the power of simple moments that recharge the spirit. From there, the hosts explore why nonstop news consumption exhausts audiences and content creators alike, and how monetization incentives on platforms like Twitter have made rage-bait and doomscrolling more pervasive than ever. The discussion turns to the week's biggest controversy, Trump's dismissive remarks about Epstein questions and the DOJ memo claiming no client list or blackmail existed. Each host shares their perspective on whether this was strategic misdirection, a genuine blunder, or a necessary delay to avoid destabilizing the world economy before the midterms. They debate Pam Bondi's confusing statements, the expectations set by independent media, and why none of us truly know what's unfolding behind closed doors. Grounded in personal honesty, this episode argues that reclaiming your peace of mind may be just as important as exposing corruption.

Is God really in control… even when life feels like a disaster? In this episode, Daron kicks off the Ruth series with a raw look at disappointment, disillusionment, and the faith it takes to trust God's bigger plan. Even when everything feels out of control—He is still at work. Key Takeaways: • Disappointment can be the doorway to disillusionment—if we're not careful • Jesus never promised an easy life, but He did promise to never leave you • God's plan may not make sense in the moment, but He's always working • Ruth's loyalty reflects the unshakable faithfulness of Jesus • Determination is your weapon against disbelief Quotes: “You may not feel it—but God is still in control.” “Disillusionment tells you God raised His fist against you. He didn't.” “You're not cursed because it's hard. You're not abandoned because you're struggling.” “Sometimes faith looks like holding on with tears in your eyes.” “God's macro plan is better than anything your micro perspective could imagine.”

In this Hot Topics episode, Tork and Sawyer pull back the curtain on a whirlwind of current events that have everyone talking. From the latest on the Iran bombings and what it could mean for global stability, to some market updates and inside scoops on life in the meat business, the guys tackle the big questions with their signature blend of humor, skepticism, and straight talk. They break down complex geopolitical issues, share personal insights on everything from corn-on-corn farming lessons to the true cost of groceries, and even reflect on the broader implications for America's future. Whether you're here for the hard-hitting opinions, the farm stories, or just to keep your finger on the pulse of what's happening in the world, you'll find plenty to chew on in this episode. So grab your coffee—or your steak—and settle in. Let's get into the thick of it.Shop Farmer Grade

What do we do with the doubts, disillusionments, and dead ends that can come in our faith journey? How do we help someone who has questions in their walk with Jesus?Authors Catherine McNiel and Jason Hague each had a unique experience when it came to wrestling with doubt and disillusionment in their faith. They knew the confusion and pain that can come when you have questions and are struggling to find the answers in safe places within the Christian community. It was out of their own personal experiences that they together wrote the book, **Mid-Faith Crisis: Finding a Path Through Doubt, Disillusionment, and Dead Ends**, to give others a roadmap through the twists and turns of walking out a true faith in Christ. In this helpful conversation, Aubrey sits with Catherine and Jason to talk about the beauty that can be found after a crisis in our faith, how we can better prepare children and believers for the realities that may come in life, and the way the church can better step into conversations and provide a refuge for those wrestling in their faith. If you're in a season of doubting or disillusionment and it feels like you have reached a dead end, this episode will be a reminder that no matter how big the questions are, God is strong enough to withstand them and you are not alone.

Professor French Tells What Gen Z Can Teach All of Us!   What happens when one of America's top legal minds steps back into the classroom—only to be schooled by Gen Z? New York Times columnist and Good Faith contributor David French joins Curtis Chang to reflect on what a year of teaching college students taught him about faith, over-parenting, and the future of American democracy. Together, they explore whether this rising generation is rejecting political tribalism in favor of ethical engagement—or simply afraid to speak up in polarized times. Could Gen Z's quiet shift reshape our fractured public square?   Send written questions or voice memos for “Ask Curtis” episodes to: askcurtis@redeemingbabel.org Send Campfire Stories to: info@redeemingbabel.org   Resources mentioned in this episode: Lipscomb University's College of Leadership & Public Service Supreme Court case: Marbury v.
