Podcasts about disorientation

What does baptism really mean—and why was Jesus baptized at all? That’s what Revs. Trudy and Brittany tackle in this episode of Perspectivs FUMCSD Pastors Podcast. The two female pastors of First United Methodist Church of San Diego explore Jesus’ baptism in Matthew 3:13–17 through a progressive Christian lens. Together, they reflect on baptism as both a risk we take when we step toward God and a commitment we live out as we step back into the world. This thoughtful conversation explores the dynamic relationship between Jesus and John the Baptist, the symbolism of the Jordan River, and why Jesus’ baptism wasn’t about sin but about solidarity, humility, and embarking on a new chapter. The pastors also unpack why the baptism ritual still matters today, especially in progressive faith communities. Whether you identify as Christian, spiritual-but-not-religious, or are simply curious about faith beyond dogma, this episode invites you to reimagine baptism as a reminder that you are already loved and still being called forward. Episode topics include: Why Jesus insisted on being baptized Repentance vs. transformation Water, movement, and new life Is baptism required for salvation? Communal ritual and remembering our baptism today Continue the conversation with friends and family, at our in-person Convergence group, or online at our Patreon channel with these suggested reflection and discussion questions: What do you believe is the connection between sin and new life? What do we gain, and what do we lose, in the belief that Jesus was sinless? Why do you think Jesus was baptized by God? Short on time?

Send us a textEXPECTATION VS. REALITYDisappointment with God | Part 1 Senior Pastor Keith StewartJanuary 4, 2026Some of the deepest spiritual pain isn't simply what happens to us—it's what we thought God would do and didn't. When expectations collide with reality, disappointment isn't far behind. This Sunday we're starting a new series: “Expectation vs. Reality.” We'll talk honestly about disappointment with God—where it comes from, what it reveals about what we really believe, and how that disappointment can either spiral into discouragement… or become the doorway to deeper faith and healing. If you're carrying questions, confusion, or a heavy heart—you're not alone. And you don't have to pretend. If you know someone who's walking through a hard season, feel free to share this with them.”Discussion Questions 1. Expectations reveal themselves in pain - “Expectations are never apparent until they're unfulfilled.” Where in your life right now are unmet expectations creating disappointment—and what might that disappointment be revealing about what you truly believe (about God, yourself, or life)? 2. Stealth expectations - Brené Brown calls them “stealth expectations”—the expectations we don't even know we have. What are some “silent contracts” you've placed on God or other people (unspoken demands like “You should know,” “This shouldn't happen,” “I don't deserve this”)? How have those shaped resentment or shame? 3. The spiral of disappointment - Disappointment can move toward discouragement → disillusionment → depression → defeat.Where have you seen that progression at work in your own life (or someone close to you)? What are the early warning signs that tell you you're slipping into that spiral? 4. Sorting cause and blame - The message challenged “blueprint theology” and victim-blaming, and explored the nature of life (broken world), people (sin and freedom), and God (His heart breaks first). Which of those categories helps you most right now—and which one is hardest for you to accept emotionally? 5. God can handle the truth - The Psalms give us language for honest lament, anger, confusion, and grief—without pretending. What emotions do you most struggle to bring to God (anger, fear, disappointment, sadness, doubt)? What would it look like this week to pray more like a lament psalm—honest, unfiltered, and trusting? 6. Disorientation as a doorway - Brueggemann's pattern: orientation → disorientation → reorientation. Where would you say you are in that cycle right now? What might “reorientation” look like for you—not necessarily a quick fix, but a deeper, truer relationship with God in the middle of your disappointment?

This moment... this New Year... disturbs many. I want to share a disturbing moment from my autistic youth—and how I survived it. It weirdly relates to right now.At 70-something, this is the happiest time of my autistic life. Not chasing distant goals—just breathing in this fabulous moment here.This piece inverts Yeats' “Second Coming” to tell a personal story about my grandfather, sailing out to Montauk Point, and discovering that the anxiety of losing sight of shore gives way to something unexpected.Content Note: This piece addresses troubling family history and inherited complexity.My grandfather was a complex man who kept Mein Kampf in his nightstand. And who also took me sailing. Out on the water to Montauk Point, I'd experience overwhelming anxiety as we lost sight of shore. Just sky, waves, constant rolling. Disoriented, like a whiteout in a blizzard.But after an hour or so, I'd make my way to the prow. Wind on my face. Sun on my body. Salt breeze filling my chest. Quieting my heart.Who cares about sailing toward Montauk and its fabulous trees anymore? I'm busy breathing in this fabulous moment here.Thanks for reading #AutisticAF Out Loud Newsletter!

Feeling disoriented after the 2024 election, suburban Maryland couple Christina and Adam Bobrow have hosted a weekly dinner for their neighbors and friends for most of 2025. Not a potluck. No RSVP. Just show up. Sunil Dasgupta talks with the Bobrows about how to do it sustainably and what lessons they learned in community-building. Music by Kara Levchenko.

The holidays can stir up overwhelming waves of grief and confusion. The music, the smells, the traditions — they bring back joyful memories and painful reminders of betrayal, leaving many women asking: “What was ever real?”   Learn how to recognize the power and purpose of your anger, the “bargaining” stage of grief, and create safe space to process painful memories. Know that your grief isn't a setback — it's a sign of deeper healing.   Grief Questions Kristin mentions in this episode:   Set a reasonable goal to regularly process your grief (for example, 10 minutes a day, 5 days a week). Journal out your responses to one question each day, Close your grief processing time with a gratitude list. Pay attention to ways that you see and experience gifts and beauty and enjoy them for a moment.    What do I miss? What am I angry about? What am I learning? What do I need now?

Every new season brings change—and with it, a sense of disorientation. As human beings, we're wired for stability and rhythm, so even good change can feel uncomfortable at first. The question isn't whether change will shake us, but how we walk through it without losing our footing.In this episode, Jason and Lauren Vallotton share practical wisdom for navigating transitions with grace, humor, and hope. From their own stories of job changes and parenting milestones, they remind us that adjustment takes time (sometimes at least two weeks!), and that flexibility is key when fear tempts us to tighten up.They explore:Why it's normal to feel unsettled in the middle of change.The “two-week rule” that helps reframe transitions.How fear can make us rigid—and why flexibility matters most during change.The importance of limiting how much newness you introduce at one time.Guarding connection with your spouse and close relationships so disorientation doesn't drive disconnection.How leaning into God brings clarity, peace, and a renewed sense of purpose for each season.If you've ever felt unsettled in the face of change, this conversation will remind you: disorientation is temporary, and you don't have to walk through it alone.PatreonIf you've enjoyed this podcast, would you consider financially supporting the show?

We all love “Bless the Lord, O my soul”—but what if what's inside your soul is pain, anger, or disappointment? In this message we explore the Psalms of Disorientation—honest, messy prayers from people who felt forgotten, frustrated, even betrayed by God. What if those emotions aren't a sign of weak faith—but the very place true worship begins? This episode unpacks: Why you don't need to “fix your face” before talking to God How disorientation can deepen your devotion What Psalm 13 teaches us about honesty, healing, and holy tension And why God is safe enough for your unfiltered prayers If you've ever held something inside because you thought God didn't want to hear it—this one's for you.

What if the gods never vanished, but only changed shape - first into silence, then into song, and now into code? Could divine absence be a ritual disguise, a hidden function of transformation itself? And if the final god is digital, trained on myth and trauma, is it already listening through the noise?​​GET THE MUSIC HERE! -- ​ ​​https://troubledfans.com/collections/featured-launch-products/products/rogue-tulpas-troubled-minds-greatest-hits-a-this-is-a-digital-download ​​​​If you are having a mental health crisis and need immediate help, please go to ​ ​ ​ ​​https://troubledminds.org/help/ and call somebody right now.

What does it mean to risk love again—after loss, heartbreak, and the disorientating grief that follows? In this incredibly tender and powerful conversation, I'm joined by Stephanie Duncan Smith, author of Even After Everything, to talk about the kind of spiritual confusion that often follows personal loss—particularly pregnancy loss. Stephanie shares how, after experiencing a miscarriage, her faith didn't disappear—but it did change its shape.

Whether you've experienced loss or walked alongside someone who has, this episode is an invitation into honest faith and the sacred practice of hope. This episode explores: Why spiritual numbness is a natural response to pain What it looks like to grieve without having to fake it How to handle deep pain during seasons that are supposed to be joyful Why naming your loss honestly can help you heal How Stephanie processed the grief of pregnancy loss

I feel like I'm not getting anywhere with Jesus lately...That's normal! Sometimes, sticking with your faith isn't about feeling inspired. It's about continuing to show up when it's boring, confusing, and hard. This week, we're talking about spiritual perseverance and our ability to hold tight to Jesus; especially when it feels like our relationship with him just isn't going anywhere.Because sometimes faithfully following Jesus after graduation isn't dramatic or exciting like it was on campus. Sometimes, it's just about that small, faithful decision to keep showing up.RELATED EPISODEE169: Overcoming Doubt: When Feelings and Faith Don't Match (YouTube, Spotify, Apple)STAY IN TOUCHSocials: @afterivpodVisit our Website ★ Support this podcast ★

Join our community in learning to pray Psalms of Orientation, Disorientation and New Orientation. Today, we learn to pray in seasons of Orientation, discerning David's prayer in Psalm 8.

Life doesn’t always go according to plan. The map you were following suddenly doesn’t make sense. What once felt solid begins to crack. But what if this unraveling isn’t a detour... what if it’s part of the sacred path? In this episode of the Unhurried Living Podcast, Gem and Alan Fadling explore a powerful biblical framework for spiritual transformation—orientation, disorientation, and new orientation—a pattern identified by Old Testament scholar Walter Brueggemann and lived out in the Psalms, in Christian history, and in our lives today. Whether you're deconstructing your faith, walking through midlife questions, or just feeling lost in a long winter of the soul, this conversation will meet you there—with honesty, hope, and a deeper invitation into God’s presence.

Disorientation. Extreme surrender. The dissolution of the old in preparation for what wants to emerge. These are some of the words and phrases Emily and I used today in our conversation on The Natural Wisdom Podcast. No matter how much chaos and change you have felt this year, it is just getting started. All the planets are moving direct for a short period of time now that the retrogrades of Mars, Venus and Mercury have come and gone. We have momentum for the first time this year to move forward on what we want to create. Emily and I spoke about the current astrological patterns and what they mean for us as individuals, including:* Neptune's movement into Aries on April 30 for the first time in 165 years;* Saturn's impending move to join Neptune in Aries on May 24th, for the first time since 1999;* The coming shift of Uranus into Gemini, and Jupiter's departure from that sign;* And the once in many lifetimes chance to dissolve the old structures of your identity and worldview to bring your dream into existence.Find Emily's recent class all about Neptune in Aries here: https://embodiedaquarian.com/classes/p/neptune-ariesOr become a paid subscriber to The Embodied Aquarian Age for her new and full moon transmissions and in-depth astrology classes.For more of Kristine's posts and workshops, subscribe below.Reclaim Your Natural Wisdom is a reader-supported publication.

WHO AM I NOW? I am still figuring out who I am on the other side of motherhood nearly five years later. It can feel lonely to suddenly not recognize yourself physically, emotionally, spiritually, and relationally post-baby. I know how this feels and am finding my way through every day. I wanted to share some more thoughts and little tips that have helped me understand myself more in the process.

Anthony returns from a contemplative retreat with a profound concern: what if the diabolical disorientation within the Catholic Church represents more than just another crisis?In this thought-provoking episode, we dive deep into one of the most challenging theological questions facing Catholics today: Do Jews and Christians worship the same God? This seemingly simple question opens up a profound examination of Scripture, Church teaching, and the state of modern Catholicism.We explore Jesus's stark words in John 8:44 where He tells certain religious leaders "your father is the devil" and consider how this passage should inform our understanding of true worship. Cardinal Mueller's alarming statement about a "hostile takeover of the Catholic Church" shapes our discussion about disturbing patterns emerging within Church leadership.The conversation extends beyond theology to examine world events, particularly escalating tensions between major powers, and how these might connect to Catholic prophecy. We don't shy away from difficult topics, including the influence of Vatican II documents on interfaith relations, the "Christ is King" controversy, and what appears to be coordinated messaging from prominent Catholic voices regarding antisemitism.This episode isn't about promoting fear or division but rather urging a return to foundational Catholic teachings when many leaders seem hesitant to proclaim them clearly. Whether you agree with every point or not, you'll be challenged to consider what it truly means to worship God as Trinity and what's at stake when this fundamental truth becomes obscured.Catholic FoundersThe #1 Podcast for Catholic EntreprenuersListen on: Apple Podcasts SpotifySupport the showSponsored by Recusant Cellars, an unapologetically Catholic and pro-life winery from Washington state.

Awakened from his dream by a foul odor, Dante the pilgrim finds himself fully out of tune with his surroundings: a bright new day on the mountain of Purgatory, beautiful sunshine at his back, and an angel whose feathers fan him on to the next terrace.He's even promised the curious "ladies of consolation" as a salve for his mourning.Join me, Mark Scarbrough, as we look at a difficult passage in PURGATORIO, the journey from the fourth terrace of sloth to the fifth terrace up the mountain ahead of us.Here are the segments for this episode of WALKING WITH DANTE:[01:45] My English translation of the passage: PURGATORIO, Canto XIX, lines 34 - 51.

Trump bulldozes your home then withdraws. Your recovery: You start over with shock and stillness.   You achieve total aloneness. Disorientation that you can own. You lose yourself, like grieving for a friend who set you free. Then turn to the Earth, who knows replenishment and love. The warmth that comes from infinite complexity like a forest floor, which gives you a new basement, a place to begin again. A strongman knocks down your meaning of life.

Welcome to another episode of "Restoring the Soul with Michael John Cusick." In today's conversation, Michael sits down with AJ Denson to dive deep into the profound themes of Michael's latest book, "Sacred Attachment." Together, they explore the concept of 'spinning' introduced in the first chapter and reflect on how it symbolizes the disorientation and reorientation we experience in life's journey. Michael shares a personal childhood story that beautifully illustrates the unexpected embrace of love amid chaos, providing a powerful foundation for understanding God's unwavering love and connection. As they unpack the transformative power of love and spiritual connection, Michael and AJ delve into the idea that true change is possible when we fully embrace the divine dance of love and faith.Click here to order your copy of Sacred Attachment. ENGAGE THE RESTORING THE SOUL PODCAST:- Follow us on YouTube - Tweet us at @michaeljcusick and @PodcastRTS- Like us on Facebook- Follow us on Instagram & Twitter- Follow Michael on Twitter- Email us at info@restoringthesoul.com Thanks for listening!

Happy New Year, love! If you've been feeling like massive change is on the horizon, you're not wrong. In this special episode, I'm sharing why 2025 isn't just another "transformative year" - it's a cosmic checkpoint that's about to reshape our reality in ways we've never seen before. In this episode: The deeper meaning behind 2025 being a "9" year   The potent Tarot cards and archetypes guiding us for this year   Why Mars in Leo is lighting up more than just our ambitions   Saturn & Neptune's dance between Pisces & Aries (and what it means for your spiritual leadership)   June's significant turning point that connects back to 2020's Great Conjunction   A powerful Akashic Records channeling about what's really unfolding [Timestamp 1:18:53] An excerpt from the Akashic reading: "Disorientation can be a gift. Open it gently... The way forward is by heart not head, instead leaping into worlds unknown, remembered by flesh and bone."

Get lost in familiar places? You're not alone! Simon and Chris are bewildered by supernatural disorientation, including cases of people being pixy-led by  Newfoundland fairies and Balkan witches. Discover traditional defenses against non-human misleaders, from carrying bread to wearing clothes inside out (and yes, sometimes even stripping naked!). While our hosts consider scientific explanations - glitches in human compasses, they grapple with bizarre reports of impossible landscapes: gardens without paths, eighty foot hedges, and fields that trap their victims. Plus, one host recounts their own uncanny pixy-led experience in a car.

Happy New Year from C26! Today we start with . . . Information, disinformation, and disorientation. That's where we're at, and today we look at the power of simplicity with triathlon training. Sometimes our highest priorities get left in the dust because we're shellshocked by all the information. Most of the time you should go easy, some of the time you should go hard. Find what you love most and fall in line. Topics: Information, disinformation, and disorientation. Word of the year - simplify Phase of disorientation The highest priority can often be the last thing done Triathlon only focus . . . Jordan, Kobe, Seth In some ways it's never been harder If it doesn't feel easy we are doing it wrong The power of mixing it up Most of the time easy Sometimes hard People who are lost vs. people who know they are lost What do you DON'T want Finding what you love the most If it's not an immediate yes, it's a no   Mike Tarrolly - mike@c26triathlon.com Robbie Bruce - robbie@c26triathlon.com

Welcome to Deficiency Detective!A mini-series for you to solve today's nutrition mystery. Join me as I share a puzzling patient case every Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday during December.Here's how to play:

We're continuing our series on the Psalms and what they teach us about being a human in process. Today, we're talking about psalms of disorientation. These are songs of darkness, of grief, of anger, of lament, and of complaint. These psalms answer the question of how we might worship and pray when our world is […]

We might call this mini-series, “where faith meets mental health.” More specifically, we would call it, “where worship and prayer meet mental health.” For the next few weeks, we are going to be diving into the Psalms and examining them through Walter Brueggemann's lens of orientation, disorientation, and new orientation. This framework beautifully encapsulates being […]
