Podcasts about Escapism

This past Sunday, we continued exploring the opportunity and complexity of how we live in this world as Jesus followers. We took it a step further by exploring the Incarnation—Jesus taking on flesh, which is known as The Incarnation. This is foundational to understanding the person and nature of Christ. A question we asked ourselves is - we know Jesus died for all of humanity, but did he die for all of creation? The Incarnation confronts the idea that spirit is good and matter is bad. Jesus in the flesh shows us that God doesn't run from creation—He enters it. That means ordinary life—work, beauty, cities, justice, bodies—matters deeply. Jesus didn't just come to save souls; He came to redeem all of creation. The title for the talk is “The End of Escapism”. The challenge for us is to move away from an escape from this world paradigm and move towards a redemption of all things. Let's move past escapism and embrace a more embodied, redemptive gospel.For more info, you can go to our website, check us out on Instagram, Facebook, or YouTube.

I understand that a lot of people listen to podcasts as a form of escapism. What better way to escape that, than to switch on, lock in, and explicitly explore the concept itself! I'd apologise in advance for ruining the concept, but this distressing experience could end up inspiring you to seek even better platforms of bliss, in which case, I will pre-emptively assume your gratitude and heartfully say, you're welcome :) 

Entertainment is a gift meant to refresh us—but when it takes center stage in our lives, it can quietly turn into a god. It starts calling the shots, consuming our time, shaping our priorities, and pulling us away from what truly matters. If entertainment is driving you toward escape and robbing you of the fruitful life God wants for you, listen up.

Send us a textISMS that Poison the Soul Escapism | Part 4Senior Pastor Keith StewartMay 18, 2025Let's face it. Life can be tough and sometimes the challenges we face seem unrelenting. More than anything we crave a little reprieve from the stress and losses we're facing. So we escape. We distract ourselves. We do something that gets our mind off our current problem. Our distraction might be binge-watching a Netflix series, playing video games or even just scrolling through our phone – really just about anything other than facing the problem. But when does a harmless distraction become a harmful habit? How do you know when a little break from the stress has become a practiced way of avoiding reality? That's what this message is all about and more importantly, how to be set free.______Discussion Questions1. On a scale of 1-10 (1 being very little and 10 being a lot), how much do you personally struggle with perfectionism? When you think back to the pressures of society and the influence of parents and other authority figures, what messages did you internalize that contributed to the problem of perfectionism?2. What has perfectionism cost you professionally, physically, psychologically, relationally and spiritually? Can you think of any other ways your life has been adversely affected by perfectionism?3. People with perfectionistic tendencies often struggle with forgiving themselves. Has this ever been an issue for you? What did you learn today that might be useful in the future as an alternative to beating yourself up over and over again?4. What were some of the things that stood out most to you in today's message? Any new learnings about perfectionism or yourself? How will you take what you learned today and incorporate it into your life?5. Discuss the ideas of progress not perfection and the willingness to do things poorly.

It's 2025, and women in the U.S. are listening to podcasts at three times the rate they were just a decade ago.If you're a podcaster speaking to a female audience—or thinking about starting a show—this is your moment. And in this week's episode, I brought in YouTube and video podcast strategist Yesenia Bocanegra so that we could discuss Women's Audio Report: Women & Podcasts, the latest Edison Research & SiriusXM study that highlights female listener behavior. The study reveals how women in the U.S. are consuming podcasts in 2025, what content they're looking for, and how we - as podcasters, marketers, and business owners - can show up with more intention, strategy, and impact.But this isn't just a data breakdown. It's a conversation about storytelling, emotional connection, and why podcasting continues to be one of the most intimate and powerful mediums out there.

In this episode of the Podcast for Cultural Reformation, Dr. Joe Boot and Dr. Michael Thiessen delve into Buddhism's surprising influence on Western thought. They discuss the core teachings of Buddhism, its impact on Western minds through figures like Sam Harris and the Dalai Lama, and why Buddhism's philosophy offers little more than a self-salvation death cult. The conversation contrasts Buddhist detachment with Christian transformation and looks at how Christians can respond to and understand these cross-cultural influences. The episode also explores the global sociopolitical implications of popular Buddhist teachings and highlights the superiority of a Christian worldview rooted in the teachings of Jesus Christ.
