Podcasts about Fear

A disheveled stranger sat down next to me at a London bar and claimed to be the Devil. By the time she finished telling me the truth about Hell, I believed every word.IN THIS EPISODE: It's the classic horror story, “The Man Who Returned” by Edmond Hamilton. Originally published in 1934, "The Man Who Returned" is an effective horror story.  Since first transmitting its sad and cynical realism from the pages of Weird Tales, it has been reprinted in numerous collections of stories from that magazine, as well as in a 1980 volume entitled “Fear! Fear! Fear!” *** I've pulled out what I hope you'll agree is definitely worth the “creepy” part of creepypasta. It was found on Reddit, written by user AThousandRows. The original title of the story is “I Met Someone Who Claimed To Be The Devil... And I Believed Them.” CHAPTERS & TIME STAMPS (All Times Approximate)…00:00:00.000 = Lead-In00:01:05.190 = Show Open00:02:45.849 = She Claimed To Be The Devil, And I Believed Her00:45:03.961 = *** The Man Who Returned01:19:22.525 = Show Close*** = Begins immediately after inserted ad breakSOURCES and RESOURCES:“She Claimed To Be The Devil, And I Believed Her” by Redditor u/athousandrows: https://tinyurl.com/yc56prtr“The Man Who Returned” by Edmond Hamilton: https://tinyurl.com/y5dh2fl7=====(Over time links may become invalid, disappear, or have different content.

When she was three, her mother often heard her talking quietly on the upstairs landing. Not playing—conversing. Her daughter spoke calmly, thoughtfully, as if answering questions. When asked who she was talking to, she replied simply: the lady on the landing.The woman was described as a teacher. Kind, but strict. Someone she respected. Then the conversations stopped—and something else began.By the time she was eight, the landing felt heavy. Lights there never worked. Fear replaced familiarity. One night, she woke at 3:32 a.m. to a sudden, bone-deep cold and saw a tall, black figure hovering near the doorway. When it returned every Sunday night, always at the same hour, she learned the difference between fear and intrusion.Looking back, she realized something unsettling: the childhood companion and the later presence were not the same. One watched. The other crossed boundaries. And only one had ever felt protective.#TrueGhostStory #ImaginaryFriend #ChildhoodHaunting #ShadowFigure #ParanormalExperience #Unexplained #RealParanormal #HauntedHouse #LingeringPresence #TrueParanormal Love real ghost stories?

"I set out to write a book about what to do to make a great work of art. Instead, it revealed itself to be a book on how to be.” —Rick Rubin.

(1:00) It must have been frustrating for these elite athletes, who wanted to get on the court and show what they could do, to arrive at practice for the first time with this legendary coach only to hear him say, Today we will learn to tie our shoes. The point Wooden was making was that creating effective habits, down to the smallest detail, is what makes the difference between winning and losing games. Each habit might seem small, but added together, they have an exponential effect on performance. Just one habit, at the top of any field, can be enough to give an edge over the competition. (8:41) Faith allows you to trust the direction without needing to understand it. (10:16) If you make the choice of reading classic literature every day for a year, rather than reading the news, by the end of that time period you'll have a more honed sensitivity for recognizing greatness from the books than from the media. This applies to every choice we make. The friends we choose, the conversations we have, even the thoughts we reflect on. All of these aspects affect our ability to distinguish good from very good, very good from great. They help us determine what's worthy of our time and attention. Because there's an endless amount of data available to us and we have a limited bandwidth to conserve, we might consider carefully curating the quality of what we allow in. (14:25) We're affected by our surroundings, and finding the best environment to create a clear channel is personal and to be tested. (27:57) Rules direct us to average behaviors. If we're aiming to create works that are exceptional, most rules don't apply. Average is nothing to aspire to. The goal is not to fit in. Communicate your singular perspective. (28:30) It's a healthy practice to approach our work with as few accepted rules, starting points, and limitations as possible. Often the standards in our chosen medium are so ubiquitous, we take them for granted. They are invisible and unquestioned. (29:00) The world isn't waiting for more of the same. Often, the most innovative ideas come from those who master the rules to such a degree that they can see past them or from those who never learned them at all. (38:50) Fear of criticism. Attachment to a commercial result. Competing with past work. Time and resource constraints. The aspiration of wanting to change the world. And any story beyond “I want to make the best thing I can make, whatever it is” are all undermining forces in the quest for greatness. (42:32) To hone your craft is to honor creation. By practicing to improve, you are fulfilling your ultimate purpose on this planet.

Send us a textMost contact centers still believe scoring more calls means better QA.It doesn't.In this episode, we start with the Law of Large Numbers and break down why scoring 100% of calls doesn't give you better insight. It just gives you more work. We talk about where the push for full coverage really comes from. Fear. Compliance pressure. Old spreadsheet thinking. And why that mindset quietly hurts coaching, accuracy, and confidence.We also cover what the data actually shows, how statistical sampling works in the real world, where AI helps and where it doesn't, and what QA should really be optimizing for.If your QA program feels busy but not effective, this episode will make you rethink how many calls you really need to score.

It began with a rush of cold air in a bathroom and a growl no human throat could make. What followed stretched across multiple homes, multiple years, and multiple attempts to outrun whatever kept finding her in the dark.From beds shaking in the night to shadows slipping through hallways, from terrified pets to friends who saw figures she didn't dare describe, Molly's experiences only grew more intense with each move. A new house brought new nightmares. A new town brought new voices. And no matter how often she changed her address, something seemed to change with her.But it wasn't until people around her—friends, neighbors, complete strangers—started commenting on the same unseen presence that she began to wonder whether the haunting wasn't attached to a place at all… but to her.Now an adult raising a daughter who has begun staring at empty corners, Molly asks the question she's avoided for years: What if some people don't live in haunted houses… but live with the ability to hear what everyone else has learned to ignore?#realghoststories #paranormalencounter #hauntedlife #shadowfigure #sleepterror #entityattachment #ghostlyanimals #residualhaunting #redbluffhaunting #supernaturalexperiencesLove real ghost stories?

The First Letter of John reminds us that the love of God drives out fear from our hearts and engages us to live for the Lord. (Lectionary #214) January 7, 2026 - Cathedral Rectory - Superior, WI Fr. Andrew Ricci - www.studyprayserve.com  

What if the stress, fear, and autopilot living so many of us experience isn't “just life”… but a kind of invisible matrix we've been conditioned to accept? In this episode of The Skeptic Metaphysicians, Will and Karen sit down with former attorney turned spiritual teacher Casey Berman, who walked away from a high-powered legal career after a profound awakening forced him to question success, identity, and what it actually means to live with consciousness and intention. Rather than preaching escape fantasies or spiritual bypassing, Casey delivers a grounded, pragmatic approach to spiritual awakening and spiritual growth; one rooted in awareness, personal responsibility, and small, actionable steps. He shares how fear, societal conditioning, and identity traps keep us disconnected from our true nature, and how reconnecting with presence can quietly transform everything from career choices to parenting. This conversation explores:How awakening often begins with subtle moments, not dramatic near-death experiencesWhy fear and anxiety are powerful signals, not personal failuresThe role of consciousness in dismantling stress, burnout, and misalignmentHow intuition development happens naturally when we unplug from constant noiseWhy soul purpose isn't found, it's rememberedThe difference between “escaping the matrix” and learning from itYou'll also hear why Casey believes modern spirituality must be practical to be sustainable, and how awareness alone can be a form of energy healing without ever calling it that. If you've felt disconnected, uninspired, or quietly questioning the life you're living, this episode offers a grounded reminder: awakening doesn't require abandoning your world...it begins by seeing it clearly. Key Topics DiscussedSpiritual awakening without spiritual theatricsConsciousness as a tool for everyday lifeFear, stress, and societal conditioningIntuition development through awarenessParenting after awakeningSoul purpose vs. external successLiving fully present in a distracted worldWhy This Episode Matters This is not a conversation about “escaping reality.” It's about waking up inside it, and learning how to live with clarity, intention, and agency in a world designed to keep you distracted. If you've been sensing there's more, without wanting to abandon logic, responsibility, or common sense, this episode meets you exactly where you are.Subscribe, Rate & Review!

With Arcand out sick, Meghan Ottolini, Jon Lyons, and Justin Turpin are in tonight to start looking at the Chargers side of the Wild Card matchup at Gillette this Sunday. How will the Patriots be viewed if they are a one-and-done thanks to LA? Then, Drake Maye's shine will dim if the Pats lose to the Chargers so much that he'll be viewed like his opposing quarterback Justin Herbert. And, Mike Vrabel was a candidate for the Chargers head coaching job before Jim Harbaugh was hired which makes us wonder how would both side look if Vrabel was coaching LA.

What if the goal of life wasn't comfort, success, or even happiness – but meaning?In this episode of Common Denominator, I sit down with Sann McCandless, a life and career coach who helps people design lives rooted in courage, intention, and self-trust. We explore why fear isn't something to overcome but something to walk alongside, how imposter syndrome is actually a sign of growth, and why the most meaningful lives are built in chapters – not linear paths.Sanni shares how intentional living starts with honest self-check-ins, why confidence isn't about ability but self-acceptance, and how nature plays a powerful role in regulating our nervous system and reconnecting us to presence. We also dive into relationships with high performers, parenting, and what it really means to live with perspective when life feels short and precious.This conversation is for anyone feeling stuck, burned out, or quietly craving a life that feels richer, braver, and more alive.In this episode you'll learn:- Why fear doesn't go away, and why that's okay- The real antidote to imposter syndrome- Why confidence is about self-acceptance, not competence- How nature restores presence and regulates the nervous system- The difference between comfort, meaning, and peak experiences- What courageous, intentional people truly have in common- How to live intentionally without being reckless or selfishIf you're questioning your path, your priorities, or what you actually want out of life — this episode will meet you right where you are.Like this episode?

It's interesting to watch the outcomes of people who refuse to give in to fear.Many years ago, while America was going through a severe economic depression and a world war, President Roosevelt told Americans that the only thing we have to fear is fear itself.Those listening over the radio said later that they felt a great sense of relief just from his words!Psalm 23:4 tells us, “Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; for You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.”Our country emerged from a very scary time to become a people determined to embrace the future. Those who survived those dark days were known as the Greatest Generation. And they were, because they decided giving in to fear was not an option. It was a simple choice, honestly. They gritted their teeth and went to work. And prayed like never before.As individuals, we face our own depression and our own wars. And any of us can be overwhelmed by the life-altering decisions we must make. Doing all of that while living in fear is very unsustainable.The Psalmist clearly understood that God would rescue him, and the words that he wrote about it were words of life.Let's pray.Lord, you are great, and your love for us is the only thing that should overwhelm us. In Jesus' name, amen. Change your shirt, and you can change the world! Save 15% Off your entire purchase of faith-based apparel + gifts at Kerusso.com with code KDD15.

In Episode 305 of The Business Development Podcast, Kelly Kennedy breaks down why most ideas never make it into the world — not because they are bad, but because people wait too long to act. Drawing from his own experience launching businesses, programs, communities, and podcasts in under three months, Kelly explains the concept of inspired action: acting while clarity, energy, and excitement are present instead of waiting for confidence, certainty, or fear to disappear. He challenges the belief that clarity comes before action and makes the case that clarity is created through movement.The episode explores the two fears that quietly kill momentum — fear of failure and fear of success — and explains why overwhelm, not fear, is usually the real blocker. Kelly walks listeners through a simple, practical framework for taking inspired action one step at a time, using real examples from his latest project I Used to Work There. The message is clear and timely for January: confidence is built through proof, momentum silences fear, and the fastest way to bring ideas to life is to take the next obvious step today.Key Takeaways: 1. Most ideas fail not because they are bad but because people wait too long to act on them.2. Confidence does not come before action it is built through action and proof.3. Clarity is not something you find by thinking it is created by doing.4. Inspired action means moving while energy and excitement are present before fear can negotiate you out of it.5. Fear of failure and fear of success lead to the same outcome hesitation and hesitation kills momentum.6. Overwhelm is usually the real blocker not fear and it comes from trying to see the whole picture at once.7. You do not need to eat the whole elephant you only need to take the next obvious step.8. Small immediate actions compound quickly and turn ideas into reality faster than overplanning ever will.9. Momentum silences fear and motion creates confidence far more effectively than motivation.10. Every step taken becomes proof and the more proof you build the quieter imposter syndrome becomes.Don't forget to follow The Business Development Podcast on Apple Podcasts and Spotify so you never miss an episode.

“Send Coach John a message”I remember this thought that I saw from The Mindfulness Meditation Institute (@TrainingMindful) that my friend @DrJeffLpip shared many times. “Hope and Fear cannot occupy the same space. Invite one to stay.” - Maya Angelou was the one who put that powerful thought out there many years ago. I needed this reminder, again, and I know I need to simply make the choice that for me, Hope has the space for sure! There are too many things out there connected to fear and I don't want to choose that any longer.

On this episode of Possible, Reid Hoffman and Aria Finger sit down with Amjad Masad, founder and CEO of Replit, to explore how AI is fundamentally changing who gets to build software and what that means for work, creativity, and human agency. Masad traces his journey from growing up in Jordan teaching himself to code and connects it to his love of video games which helped inspire him to build a platform that turns natural language into working software. The conversation spans everything from why gaming mindsets make better builders, to how CEOs are rediscovering hands-on creation, to why “vibe coding” is the next form of literacy and why computational thinking is more important than syntax mastery. The conversation also digs into the future of AI agents, long-running autonomous workflows, and what it means to design environments for machines rather than humans. They also confront harder questions about jobs, fear, regulation, and society's responsibility during a cognitive industrial revolution. The episode ultimately reframes AI not as a replacement for human creativity, but as a force that can return people to a more entrepreneurial, expressive, and meaningful way of life.  For more info on the podcast and transcripts of all the episodes, visit https://www.possible.fm/podcast/ 01:45 – Introductions and Amjad's background 02:07 – Growing up in Jordan, video games, and learning to build 06:19 – How gaming culture shaped Replit's product philosophy 09:55 – Designing Replit around safety, reversibility, and exploration 13:24 – Defining vibe coding and where the term came from 15:55 – The new literacy: computational thinking and soft skills 22:09 – Getting past the blank page and learning by making 25:06 – Entrepreneurs, solopreneurs, and who Replit empowers 30:48 – Designing environments for AI agents and durable businesses 35:55 – Open source, abstraction, and “cathedrals built from bazaars” 38:25 – The future of corporate work and creative ownership 48:29 – Fear, skepticism, and cultural responsibility around AI 54:13 – Jobs, disruption, and becoming AI-native in a changing economy 01:11:12 – Rapid Fire Questions

The “iPS New Year's 2026” broadcast, recorded on December 31, 2025, serves as both a retrospective of the “systemic fakery” of 2025 and a strategic roadmap for the “Off-World Stage” community in 2026. The host characterizes the current era as a “soft totalitarianism” where history is manufactured and performed for a “visually illiterate” public.List of Topics2025 PSYOP Retrospective:The Drone Panic: A January “gullibility test” where mysterious sightings in New Jersey were dismissed as airplanes and the planet Venus.The Charlie Kirk “Death” Event: Analyzed as a staged psychological operation with “hoax indicators,” including the “death tent” at America Fest and the subsequent “necromancy” in evangelical churches.Psycho Stew vs. Raja Jackson: A “kayfabe” body slam event that was racialized by influencers to stoke tension.The Stabbing of Austin Metcalfe: Linked to the movie Sinners and described as an attempt to create a “white Trayvon Martin”.School Shooting Archetypes: A discussion on how shooters are now portrayed as “left-wing” or “satanic nazi trans witches” to target specific demographics.Dick Cheney's Death: Described as a “Viking funeral” coded with 9/11 references (e.g., dying on the anniversary of the One World Trade Tower opening).Media Theory and the “Meta Script”:Predictive Programming: The use of films like Oppenheimer, Fallout, and Dune to saturate the zeitgeist before real-world events.“Off-World Stage” Perspective: A framework independent of the “media duopoly” (mainstream and alternative) that seeks to deconstruct the “collective Truman Show”.Religion as Government: The view that mainstream religion is a “branch of government” used for “mind control” and to keep the “soul” compartmentalized from psychology.2026 Objectives:The Great Deconstruction: A planned project to create a 100-year timeline of staged history from 1926 to 2026.Publishing and Networking: Production of the iPS tabloid, short eBooks on world stage actors (like Elon Musk), and the expansion of PSYOP trading cards.Technological Shifts: Leveraging AI agents for “press releases” and the potential reboot of the parody cartoon “South Pole”.2026 Predictions:Expected “fake” events include nuclear/EMP threats, elite bunker narratives, blackouts, and a “fake alien invasion” connected to upcoming films.5 Key Quotes“My one resolution... for new year's eve is to no longer tolerate bad conspiracy theories that are actually mislabeled as even theories... it all comes down to religion.”“2026 is going to be fake AF. Every single psyop we are going to experience in the next year is already planned already scheduled it's on a program that we're not privy to...”“If you're scared, you lost. That's the game. If you're scared, you lost. ... Fear is the mind killer.”“They are not mad they are trained to believe not to know belief can be manipulated but knowledge is dangerous...”“We are fomenting a culture of disbelief on purpose. And believers, it's not that they're not welcome here, but they don't have a place here.”Understanding the “Off-World Stage” perspective is like learning to see the projector beam in a dark movie theater; once you stop focusing on the film's plot and notice the machine behind it, the “story” loses its power to frighten or control you.

Rabash. Concerning Fear and Joy. 23 (1986) (14.06.2002)

She grew up terrified of the dark—but not in the way most children are. Certain rooms in her childhood home felt wrong. Footsteps echoed on the stairs when no one was there. Doors opened on their own. A wardrobe creaked open again and again, as if something inside refused to stay hidden. The house, built in the mid-1800s near Lake Erie, carried a history no one talked about. Years later, she learned it had once been an undertaker's home—bodies stored in the basement before burial. When the house mysteriously burned down on Christmas morning, she felt an unexpected sense of relief. But distance didn't bring peace. During college, terrifying episodes of sleep paralysis began—episodes where she heard three distinct voices mocking her regrets, laughing at her fear, and pressing down on her body as if something physical had taken hold. One voice felt familiar. Almost comforting. Until she told it to leave. Some places don't let go. #TrueGhostStory #HauntedHouse #SleepParalysis #ParanormalExperience #RealGhostStories #HauntedLand #ShadowVoices #MidnightEncounters #Unexplained #TrueParanormal  Love real ghost stories?

Ernesto Araújoexplains that leftist leaders like Lula and Petro fear the US action against Maduro because their power structures share similar corruption. Peña Esclusa adds that Colombian President Petro is terrified because his campaign was funded by Venezuelan drug money, making him vulnerable to the exposure of these secrets.

Donate (no account necessary) | Subscribe (account required) Join Bryan Dean Wright, former CIA Operations Officer, as he dives into today's top stories shaping America and the world. In this Tuesday Headline Brief of The Wright Report, Bryan covers political fallout from Minnesota's massive Medicaid fraud scandal, disciplinary action against Senator Mark Kelly for seditious conduct, explosive courtroom revelations from Nicolás Maduro's arraignment, rising global instability tied to Trump's Venezuela decision, and new intelligence warnings involving China, Iran, Germany, and America's food supply. He closes with encouraging medical research on immune health and cancer prevention. Tim Walz Forced Out as Minnesota Fraud Probe Explodes: Minnesota Governor Tim Walz announced he is dropping his reelection bid after becoming a liability to Democrats over the nine billion dollar Somali Medicaid fraud scandal. Federal investigators are now probing what Walz and Attorney General Keith Ellison knew and when, after state whistleblowers warned in 2018 that fraud at Feeding Our Future was obvious before any money was paid. Despite those warnings, hundreds of millions flowed to Somali nonprofits that later donated to Democratic campaigns. Prosecutors admit the fraud is so widespread that many participants may never face charges due to limited resources. Hilton Refuses to House DHS and ICE Officers: A Hilton franchise owner in Minneapolis refused rooms to DHS and ICE agents participating in an immigration crackdown, saying the hotel would not assist deportations. Corporate Hilton had not responded at the time of recording. Bryan urges listeners to remember this incident when choosing where to spend their travel dollars. Mark Kelly Punished for Seditious Conduct: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth reduced Senator Mark Kelly's military retirement rank and pay after Kelly called on service members to refuse illegal orders from President Trump but could not identify any such orders. Hegseth said Kelly's actions constituted reckless misconduct and confirmed investigators are evaluating whether Kelly could be recalled to active duty for prosecution under military law. Maduro Pleads Not Guilty as Indictment Stuns: Former Venezuelan president Nicolás Maduro pleaded not guilty in Manhattan, declaring himself innocent and still the legitimate leader of Venezuela. Federal prosecutors released a detailed indictment outlining twenty-five years of cocaine trafficking, kidnappings, beatings, and murders ordered by Maduro and his family. His vice president, Delcy Rodríguez, vowed to resist the United States and declared Maduro a hostage, while Marxist guerrilla groups threatened attacks on Americans. Trump's Venezuela Decision Sends Shockwaves: The Wall Street Journal reports that President Trump repeatedly tried to negotiate Maduro's peaceful exit before losing patience after public taunts. His decision to authorize the capture has rattled regimes worldwide, including Iran. Reuters reports Iranian officials now fear Trump will act decisively if protests escalate, prompting the Ayatollah to quietly prepare escape plans to Russia along with billions in assets. China's Espionage Footprint Near U.S. Bases: A Chinese intelligence-linked individual owns two golf courses near Barksdale Air Force Base in Louisiana, home to America's nuclear bomber force. Chinese media openly described the courses as networking hubs for U.S. political and business elites. Bryan warns that such properties create serious espionage and sabotage risks, similar to a Chinese-owned trailer park near Whiteman Air Force Base in Missouri. Threats to America's Food Supply: A new screwworm outbreak in Mexico threatens U.S. cattle just as Brazil reduces its breeding herd and America's cattle numbers hit historic lows.

When your child is struggling with anxiety or OCD, fear can quietly take over your parenting. Fear of making things worse. Fear of missing something. Fear of what the future might hold. In this episode, I explore the hidden cost of parenting from that place.I talk about how fear often shows up in ways we don't always recognize, such as agitation, constant anxiety, over-cheerleading, or swinging into punitive responses when we are exhausted and overwhelmed. While these reactions are completely understandable, they can unintentionally undermine trust and keep both parent and child stuck.I also share how things shifted when I stopped parenting from fear and began meeting my child exactly where they were. That change did not mean doing less. It meant responding differently. By building trust and creating emotional safety, my child was able to feel more empowered and begin taking ownership of their own struggles.This episode is for parents who are trying their best but feel stuck in survival mode. We talk about how to recognize fear-driven parenting patterns and how moving toward a more anchored approach can change the tone of your relationship and support your child's growth.Learn how to be a solid anchor for your child in my free series.

Join the discussion here: https://www.skool.com/everydayissaturday Most people think waking up at 3:30 a.m. is about motivation, discipline, or chasing some kind of extreme fitness goal.It's not.This episode isn't about getting a “Wolverine body.” It's not about weight loss. And it's definitely not about looking good in photos. It's about fear—the right kind of fear.Years ago, I led a small group where everyone was over the age of 70. Some walked with canes. Some needed help getting up stairs. Others needed help standing up from a chair. Good people. Sharp minds. But their bodies had quietly betrayed them.Then there's my mom—who suffered a stroke in her late 50s and lost her health far earlier than anyone expected.Those images never left me. In October of 2025, something snapped. Not in a dramatic way—but in a permanent one. I realized my “why” wasn't a slogan or a bumper-sticker phrase. It was a body-rattling vision of a future I refuse to live in. This episode is about: Why clichés about “finding your why” don't work The emotional moment that changed how I view aging and health Why strength, mobility, and discipline matter more than aesthetics And the one future I'm training every day to avoid: becoming dependent on a system designed to manage decline, not prevent it If you're over 40 and starting to feel the quiet cost of inaction…If you've seen what happens when health disappears…Or if you're searching for a reason that actually pulls you forward— This episode is for you.

January 6, 2026: Is AI actually increasing productivity — or just shifting responsibility without reward? In this episode of Future Ready Today, I unpack seven of the most important future-of-work stories shaping leadership decisions right now. From why Gen Z is entering the workforce anxious about AI, to new evidence that AI can slow work down instead of speeding it up, to the rise of empowered employees quietly ignoring return-to-office mandates, this episode explores what's really changing beneath the surface. I look at why the U.S. government is reviving apprenticeships, how AI is enabling four-day workweeks only when leaders redesign work intentionally, why flexibility debates have shifted from where work happens to when it happens, and how expanding responsibility without expanding pay is setting the stage for the next trust crisis at work.

When anxiety tightens your chest and fear whispers that you’re alone, knowing who God is can steady your heart. In this deeply comforting conversation, Jennifer Slattery sits down with author and ministry leader Grace Fox to explore how the names of God reveal His nearness, power, and peace—especially in seasons of uncertainty, trauma, and unanswered prayer.

From cultivating daily time with God in busy seasons to experiencing supernatural peace in the middle of a medical crisis, this episode gently reminds listeners that fear is not a sign of failed faith—but often a signal that we were never meant to carry our burdens alone.

What happens when a long pastoral calling ends, friendships fade, and the church faces cultural fracture? Bishop Kenneth C. Ulmer (42 years in ministry at Faithful Central Bible Church in Inglewood, CA) joins Mark Labberton for a searching conversation about retirement from pastoral ministry, loneliness, leadership, and the meaning of credible witness in the Black church today. "Ministry can be a lonely business." In this episode, Bishop Ulmer reflects on the stepping away after four decades of pastoral leadership, navigating aloneness, disrupted rhythms, and the spiritual costs of transition. Together they discuss pastoral loneliness, friendship and grief, retirement and identity, church leadership after elections, authenticity versus attraction, political division in congregations, and whether the church still centers Jesus. Episode Highlights "Ministry can be a lonely business." "[Boy, pointing to a church] Is God in there? [Pastor] Sometimes I wonder." "There's a Moses in you that will see farther than you'll go." "The tension is authenticity versus attraction." "Jesus is the answer for the world today." About Kenneth C. Ulmer Bishop Kenneth C. Ulmer is Bishop Emeritus of Faithful Central Bible Church in Inglewood, California, where he served as senior pastor for more than four decades. A nationally respected preacher, civic leader, and mentor, Ulmer played a significant role in the spiritual and economic life of Los Angeles, including the preservation of the Forum as a major community asset. He has been a prominent voice in conversations about the Black church, urban ministry, and faithful Christian leadership amid cultural and political change. Ulmer continues to teach, preach, and advise leaders while reflecting publicly on vocation, aging, and wisdom in ministry.

Absence of trusted friends exposing a deep relational void Final sermon titled "I Did My Best," echoing 2 Timothy imagery and the words on Kenneth Ulmer's father's grave "I fought a good fight" as closing vocational reflection Disrupted spiritual rhythm after forty-one years of weekly preaching "My rhythm is off." Identity shaped by Sunday coming "every seven days" Question of where and how to worship after stepping away Public recognition colliding with uncertainty about purpose Therapy as a faithful response to grief and transition Energy and health without a clear channel for vocation Question of "what do you do now?" after leadership ends Seeing farther than you will go as a leadership reality Deuteronomy 34 and Moses viewing the Promised Land "There's a Moses in you that will see farther than you'll go." Passing vision to a Joshua who will go farther than he can see Grief of cheering from the sidelines while no longer on the field Wrestling with authenticity versus attraction in church leadership John 12:32 and the tension of lifting up Jesus to draw others "The tension is authenticity versus attraction." Fear of entertainment, production, and celebrity eclipsing Christ Question of whether churches are built on preaching or personality Political polarization dividing congregations and pulpits Question pastors must ask: "Who am I going to be after this ballot?" Kingdom identity beyond donkey or elephant, only the Lamb "Holding up the bloodstained banner" as faithful witness Doors of the church open—how wide are they, and for whom? Concern for credibility after the benediction and after the election Civic engagement without surrendering theological center Preserving community good beyond church walls and buildings Forum purchase as economic stewardship, not church expansion Question of whether God is still "in that house" How much of the God inside gets outside into the neighborhood? Jesus as the enduring answer amid cultural confusion Worship song, "We Offer Jesus" "Jesus in the morning, Jesus at noonday, Jesus in the midnight hour." Call to be the extended incarnation in ordinary life: "You are the temple."
