Podcasts about everything belongs

How can we build solidarity and connection with people of different faiths and cultures? Today on Everything Belongs, Father Richard Rohr guides us through Chapter 10 of his book, Eager to Love, "Entering the World of Another: Francis and the Sultan of Egypt." Hosts Mike Petrow and Drew Jackson then engage in a profound conversation with Brother Omid Safi about the essence of love in Islam, and the role of poetry and language in navigating spiritual and interfaith dialogues. Brother Omid and our hosts delve into the intersections of spirituality, and how learning from different traditions can enrich our own spiritual journey. The three explore the significance of the encounter between Saint Francis and the Sultan as a model for compassion and dialogue, as well as the the need for a unified approach to spirituality that transcends divisions. Brother Omid Safi is a teacher in the Sufi tradition of Radical Love and Founder of Illuminated Courses & Tours. He is currently a professor at Duke University specializing in Islamic spirituality and contemporary thought. A leading Muslim public intellectual, Omid is committed to the intersection of spirituality and social justice. His most recent book is Radical Love: Teachings from the Islamic Mystical Tradition. Hosted by CAC Staff: Mike Petrow, Paul Swanson, and Drew Jackson Resources: A transcript for this episode can be found here. Grab a copy of Eager to Love here.

Introduction: What Moves the People of God to Give to the Work of God? (1 Chronicles 29:1-19) We know Everything Belongs to God. (1 Chronicles 29:10-16) We know we only have a Limited Time to give. (1 Chronicles 29:15) Matthew 6:19-20 - Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal, but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. We know God is Testing Us with money. (1 Chronicles 29:17-19) Sermon Notes (PDF): BLANKHint: Highlight blanks above for answers! Small Group DiscussionRead 1 Chronicles 29:1-19What was your big take-away from this passage / message?In Matthew 6:1-4, Jesus says to give in secret, yet in 1 Chronicles 29:1-5, King David announces his giving in great detail. Should all giving be done in secret? If not, when is it appropriate to not give in secret?How does remembering that “everything belongs to God” encourage us to give joyfully (1 Chron 29:10-16)?What did David mean that God is “testing the heart” (1 Chron 29:17)? What, exactly, is the test? How is money part of this test? How do we pass or fail? BreakoutPray for one another, and for continued faithfulness and generosity in HBC (1 Chron 29:18).

Welcome to Season 2 of Everything Belongs! This season, we'll be exploring Richard's book Eager to Love chapter-by-chapter, and what better way to kick off a brand new season than with our friend, Mirabai Starr. In this episode, we're covering Chapter One: "What Do We Mean by 'Mysticism'?" This episode explores the themes of mysticism, spirituality, and the sacredness of everyday life, examining the nature of mystical experiences, the importance of love, and how grief can lead to deeper spiritual understanding. Before we dive into the interview with Mirabai, Mike and Paul catch up with Richard at his hermitage to hear his reflections on the first chapter of Eager to Love. Mirabai Starr is an award-winning author of creative non-fiction and contemporary translations of sacred literature. She taught Philosophy and World Religions at the University of New Mexico-Taos for 20 years and now teaches and speaks internationally on contemplative practice and inter-spiritual dialog. A certified bereavement counselor, Mirabai helps mourners harness the transformational power of loss. Her latest book, WILD MERCY: Living the Fierce & Tender Wisdom of the Women Mystics, was named one of the “Best Books of 2019”. She lives with her extended family in the mountains of northern New Mexico. Resources: A PDF of the transcript for this episode is available here. Grab a copy of Eager to Love here.

Resources: A PDF of the transcript for this episode is available here. Grab a copy of the newly revised version of Falling Upward, with a new foreword by Brené Brown here.

'Everything belongs to Hashem , therefore trust in Him!'

In this season finale of Everything Belongs, we're diving into the final chapter of Richard Rohr's book Falling Upward and responding to as many listener questions as we could across three parts. Joining Corey, Mike, and Paul for these special episodes is our dear friend Cassidy Hall, the author of Queering Contemplation. Together, we're exploring how her work relates to the themes of Falling Upward and the paradoxical journey of spiritual growth that comes along with it. This episode was recorded during a particularly memorable moment, as a brood of ducklings hatched in Richard's front yard, creating a scene of pure joy and wonder that mirrors the themes of new beginnings and unexpected grace that ran throughout this season. We hope you enjoy it

When we are able to get into the intended divine groove of faith, life, and worship, we will discover our meaning and purpose in the world. This podcast is also a blog post at https://timehrhardt.com/

The wild has been banished, pushed to the edges of civilization, pushed to the edges of psyche. Wolves and coyotes, bears and bobcats, rage and sexuality and messiness and imperfection have all been relegated to the outskirts. We long for wildness. We long for freedom and aliveness, creativity and authenticity.  And yet, we might also fear wildness—the way it can control us. The way we can burn others and be burned by it. How do we get in touch with our wild parts, and integrate them with the rest of us? How do we find healthy containers in which to explore our creativity, our dreams, our true voice, our boundaries? This is what we are exploring in today's episode.

Welcome to the first episode of Everything Belongs, a new season covering the work of Richard Rohr's newly revised version of Falling Upward. In this episode, we're joined by Brenè Brown to kick off our chapter-by-chapter exploration, starting with Chapter 1: "The Two Halves of Life." Together, with Richard Rohr and CAC Staff, they explore the concept of the two halves of life and how Brené has navigated these teachings from the context of her own lived experience, both personally and professionally. We also talk about the brand-new foreword, which Brené wrote for the new edition of Falling Upward. But first, Mike and Paul begin the episode at Richard's hermitage to hear his reflections on the first chapter a decade after he originally wrote it. Brené is a research professor at the University of Houston where she holds the Huffington Foundation Endowed Chair at the Graduate College of Social Work. She also holds the position of Visiting Professor and management at the University of Texas at Austin McCombs School of Business. Brené has spent the past few decades studying courage, vulnerability, shame, and empathy.

They have two children, Ellen and Charlie, and a weird Bichon named Lucy. Connect with us: A PDF of the transcript for this episode is available here.

The Reverend Joshua H. Narcisse delivers the sermon on Oct 8, 2023.

Meditation: Everything Belongs - This guided meditation awakens an embodied presence through a body scan, and invites us to rest in the breath, while allowing the different waves of sensations, feelings and sounds to come and go. When difficult experiences arise, we breathe with them, feeling them fully and mentally whispering, “this belongs,” or “this too.” By not resisting, we discover the sea of awareness that has room for all the waves.

From the SAND Archives we present two talks from Christian Mystic, Richard Rohr from two SAND Conferences recorded before live audiences. The two talks are entitled “Christianity and Unknowing” from SAND16 and “The Christian Meaning Of Enlightenment” from SAND11. Richard Rohr, as a Catholic priest and Franciscan Friar, offers a concise history of how Western Christianity once had, soon lost, tried to retrieve, and now is roundly rediscovering its own traditional understanding of unitive consciousness (which was our word for non-dual thinking). The Christian contemplative mind was usually a subtext, and yet it was always clearly there too, and much closer to the surface, but only for those exposed to the mystical base that was revealed in the Gospel of John, the Desert Fathers and Mothers, the Celtic and monastic traditions, and what was generally referred to as the apophatic or wisdom stream of Christianity. These were our many saints and mystics. This possibility was brought to the fore by Thomas Merton in the middle of the last century, and is now flowing in many positive directions. It is now our task to rediscover the pre-Enlightenment Christianity that reveled in "the cloud of unknowing", what some called "learned ignorance", and the very notion of Mystery itself. Only when we got into competition with rationalism and secularism, did we adopt this rather recent mania for certitude and a very limited kind of scientific knowing. Almost the entire history of Protestantism emerged in this period, and thus the contemplative mind is an utterly new revelation for them, and frankly for all of us, as we again learn to be comfortable living on the edge of both the knowable and the unknown. Fr. Richard Rohr is a globally recognized ecumenical teacher bearing witness to the universal awakening within Christian mysticism and the Perennial Tradition. He is a Franciscan priest of the New Mexico Province and founder of the Center for Action and Contemplation (CAC) in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Fr. Richard's teaching is grounded in the Franciscan alternative orthodoxy—practices of contemplation and self-emptying, expressing itself in radical compassion, particularly for the socially marginalized. Fr. Richard is the author of numerous books, including Everything Belongs, Adam's Return, The Naked Now, Breathing Under Water, Falling Upward, Immortal Diamond, and Eager to Love: The Alternative Way of Francis of Assisi. https://cac.org/

Today on the Everything Belongs podcast, Madison is sharing about her experiences with narcissistic relationships in her 20s and coming to a clearer understanding of the trauma responses created from these relationships. Madison also discusses the mistake we make in thinking narcissism is just selfishness or grandiosity, and instead, what narcissism *actually* is. She also shares how self betrayal becomes our strongest intuitive sense and can lead to the process of regaining sovereignty and reconnecting with True Identity to avoid further toxic cycles. This is the work inside Rising Sovereign, her 8 month leadership circle experience which bolsters you to live, move and lead from your Sovereignty and anchor into your True Identity.

Amy welcomes friend and Executive Pastor, Matt Woll!  With over 2 decades in church leadership, Matt shares more with Amy on the idea of deconstruction of faith and what it means. With people's changing perceptions and relationships with the church, navigating this process can be tricky.  Like tearing down an old house and sitting in the rubble as opposed to building something new, Deconstruction can be a very painful process for those who don't have any plans for a reconstruction.   Books Referrenced 1.

Homily for the Twenty-Fifth Sunday in Ordinary Time - September 18, 2022

This episode focuses on the importance of recognizing that God owns all that is in the world. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/dailyrowe/support

Danielle Brooks acknowledged all that was happening.  She dug into her childhood trauma.  She started to map out how some of the unhealed areas in her life shaped the decisions she was making.  Danielle realized that people get stuck in regret or in lost opportunities.  It was her 50th birthday and she was trying to figure out how to celebrate in the midst of the pandemic.  She didn't want to be stuck in “healing mode.”  She figured out that we all need to listen to our intuition and listen to ourselves.Eventually she stopped therapy and got out of the divorce recovery group that she had been a part of.  For her birthday, she decided to make “Top 10 Lists” instead.  Dealing with the trauma is necessary, but there was joy she found along the way.  She wanted to reconnect to the little girl inside of her.  She also struggled with “toxic positivity.”  She needed to be healed enough to know whether or not she was denying her own reality, but she also realized that it's ok to be a positive person in the world.Grief was important for her because she was a person who didn't have a lot of self-worth.  It took her holding space for her own grief and allowing herself to feel those feelings in order to turn that around.  Talking about it with safe people is important, also.  She found her “helpers!”Danielle says that taking the first step is important.  You may be surprised where you find support.  There can be a lot of healing when you become open and vulnerable.  This lightens your grief.We live in a youth-focused culture.  This makes it challenging to feel comfortable at your age.  Let yourself “be.”  Be where you are.  Be who you are.  Be the age you are.How do you do an “autopsy” of your own life?She likes to write, so she started with one question.  “When was the last time that I felt truly happy?” From the list that this question prompted, she started to dig a little bit deeper into those and went from there.  After that, she started to go back even earlier and did the same thing.  It created a “web of happiness” for her.  Danielle was living life like she could outrun her past; that she could achieve enough to close the door on her past.  She had rehearsed her vulnerability story very well.  It was a story of overcoming; a military career, getting a masters degree, etc. She told herself that she could “pray her way” out of her past.  But, she had never dealt with it.  She had to go back and reclaim the rest of her story.Danielle finishes her time on the podcast by mentioning a couple of books that have helped her on her journey:Crystal Evans Hurst's book, “She's Still There.”  Rediscovering the little girl inside of you.  This book helped her to be confident with who she is.  She is now embracing every aspect of who she is.“Everything Belongs” by Richard Rohr.  This book integrated her Christian beliefs with the rest of her life. She was able to tap into her spirit and expand her capacity to open herself up to her internal intuition.

In our busy, frenetic world, it's easy to slip into a mode of living that looks and feels a lot like autopilot. We go through the motions, move through our calendars, and rinse and repeat each day. In so many ways the life we long for and the life we're designed for remains out of our grasp. So, for so many people, we try to shake things up. We sign up for a sprint triathlon. We announce to our friends we're launching a podcast. We start planning a vacation or a bathroom remodel. For a time, it works. We feel more present, alive, and focused. But then the autopilot mode returns. What does it look like to find an alternative reality? To lean into a different way of thinking, and a new way of living? I can't think of anyone who can help us find that way better than Father Richard Rohr. Father Richard Rohr is a Franciscan friar and ecumenical teacher who bears witness to the deep wisdom of Christian mysticism and traditions of action and contemplation.?He is the founder of the?Center for Action and Contemplation (CAC)?and academic Dean of the Living School in Albuquerque, New Mexico, where he has lived since 1986. For over fifty years, Father Richard's personal experience of God's infinite and transforming love has inspired his lifelong work of helping to remove the barriers that keep people from knowing God's love for themselves. He teaches how God's grace guides us to our birthright as beings made of Divine Love. He is the author of numerous books, including?The Universal Christ, The Wisdom Pattern, Everything Belongs, and?Falling Upward. READ: Universal Christ, by Richard Rohr Resource page: http://universalchrist.org Book URL: https://store.cac.org/collections/all/products/the-universal-christ Description: In his decades as a globally recognized teacher, Richard Rohr has helped millions realize what is at stake in matters of faith and spirituality. Yet Rohr has never written on the most perennially talked about topic in Christianity: Jesus. Most know who Jesus was, but who was Christ? Is the word simply Jesus's last name? Too often, Rohr writes, our understandings have been limited by culture, religious debate, and the human tendency to put ourselves at the center. Drawing on scripture, history, and spiritual practice, Rohr articulates a transformative view of Jesus Christ as a portrait of God's constant, unfolding work in the world. “God loves things by becoming them,” he writes, and Jesus's life was meant to declare that humanity has never been separate from God—except by its own negative choice. When we recover this fundamental truth, faith becomes less about proving Jesus was God, and more about learning to recognize the Creator's presence all around us, and in everyone we meet. Thought-provoking, practical, and full of deep hope and vision, The Universal Christ is a landmark book from one of our most beloved spiritual writers, and an invitation to contemplate how God liberates and loves all that is. CONSPIRE conference Friday, Sept. 24 – Sunday, Sept. 26 In this time of great unknowing, how do we expand our sense of self to include love, healing, and forgiveness—not just for ourselves and those like us, but for the entire world? Join thousands of spiritual seekers from across the world...
