Podcasts about finding comfort

In this episode of the Goats of Growth podcast, I had the pleasure of interviewing Candidate 8, a sales professional with a unique background in ministry. We discussed his transition from being a pastor to building a career in technology and cybersecurity, and the vital role that empathy and relationship-building play in sales. Candidate 8 shared powerful insights on personal growth through adversity, the value of in-person communication, and his aspirations for future leadership roles. We also touched on work ethic, life lessons, and the journey of redefining oneself in a new career path.

Finding Comfort in Our Mourning Matthew 5:4 Bro. Tyler Fox May 25, 2025 Salem First Baptist Church Salem, Arkansas

Open and honest, warm and approachable. Father O'Brien gives priests a great name. He has made such a positive imprint on our community, and we are sad to see him move on to his next assignment, as is the dedicated life of a priest. Listen as this Bloomington native turned nomadic priest talks rectory life, choosing to attend seminary and the low rate of graduates, what his parents thought of his life choice, keeping a line between being the "cool" priest and reverence, the new pope and the excitement that brings to the country and the faith, relying on a greater power to inform all decisions and finding peace in that. What an honor to interview someone so open to any and all questions regarding a calling that is often stigmatized. Father O'Brien was a pleasure, thoughtful and a great example of practicing what you preach.I'd like to thank this episode's sponsor Illini Pella Windows & Doors of Champaign.

Have you ever experienced grief or an unbearable season of loss? Whether it's the loss of someone you love, a relationship, or an unfulfilled dream, God wants to bring you peace and comfort and walk through this season with you. In this episode, Julie Davies, Licensed Counselor, and your co-host, Christie Myers, talk about finding God's comfort amidst grief and loss. They share personal stories of grief, the stages of grief, and the importance of community and connection in healing. This episode highlights how important faith is in coping with loss, finding joy in difficult seasons, and the promises of God that provide hope during difficult times. Psalm 34:18 says, "The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit."   Takeaways Finding comfort in God is essential during grief. It's okay to feel sad about loss and brokenness. Jesus wept, showing us it's normal to grieve. God wants to bring us peace and comfort. Grief can manifest in various stages: denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance. It's important to let yourself experience grief fully. Depression can be a normal response to grief, but it should be monitored. Community support is crucial during times of loss. Joy can coexist with suffering and can be found in small moments. God's promises provide hope and strength in difficult times.   Chapters 00:00 Finding Comfort in Grief and Loss 02:51 Personal Stories of Grief and Healing 06:10 Understanding the Stages of Grief 08:49 Coping Mechanisms for Grief 12:08 The Role of Community in Healing 14:58 Joy Amidst Suffering 17:47 God's Promises in Times of Grief 20:47 The Gospel and Finding Hope   Visit our website.

Stillness isn't stagnation. It's integration. Topics Discussed The chaos addiction blocking your fertility Nervous system dysregulation and fertility struggles How trauma patterns show up after you get pregnant Epigenetics, motherhood, and the cost of overdoing Why your body can't receive in a high-alert state The energetic upgrade from hustle to healing How to actually trust the pause without spiraling You can chase in chaos, but you can't receive in chaos. Show Notes Summary Hello Beautiful Souls, the voice of Monica here... This one's raw, real, and honestly a little uncomfortable, in the best way. I skipped a podcast episode for the first time in five years. Not because I forgot. Not because I didn't care. But because I'm practicing what I preach: stepping out of chaos and into calm. This episode is a full-on permission slip to stop running yourself into the ground in the name of fertility. The endless doing, fixing, tweaking, chasing—it might feel productive, but it's actually the very frequency that's keeping your body in survival. Stillness, on the other hand, is scary because it's unfamiliar. But that's exactly where your intuition gets loud and your nervous system learns to receive. I get into how these patterns don't magically disappear once you get pregnant, and why so many mamas find themselves overwhelmed, triggered, and exhausted postpartum. If your chaos feels safer than peace, this episode is your invitation to shift. Press play. Let it land. And ask yourself: what if letting go is what moves you forward? You're not falling behind. You're finally tuning in. Timestamps 00:00 Why chaos is more comfortable than calm 03:25 The illusion of productivity in your fertility journey 04:52 Pregnancy and motherhood don't erase your patterns 07:50 The chaos comfort zone and your nervous system 08:51 Why peace can feel like panic and how to shift 12:54 Stillness as the gateway to intuition and coherence 14:50 How to gently rewire your frequency without overwhelm 16:18 Stillness doesn't mean failure.

Yes, we have to talk about tariffs again. Be ready to have this marked in the same manner as 'new normal' or 'unprecedented times' back in 2020.

On Easter weekend five years ago, at the start of the pandemic we played a recording made by Ella McSweeney at the farmhouse kitchen table of the Kentucky farmer and poet Wendell Berry.  It was of his poem about finding comfort in nature in uncertain times.

"I am my mother's only daughter," explains Bergstein. Both of Rachelle's parents eventually remarried. Her father has two daughters from a subsequent marriage. And Rachelle's mom, has remarried twice. Rachelle's parents were very much in love and married right out of college. At around the  age of five years old, her parent's split up and Rachelle lived with her mother though there was joint custody between her parents.  Rachelle admits that they did a pretty  good job of not pushing and pulling her into their disagreements up until just prior to her wedding!Pauline eventually went to graduate school and became a psychologist and Rachelle says "she'll work into her eighties, she loves it so much." "She had a lot of drive and intelligence that was sort of sitting somewhere and not used. Eventually she learned how to use it." says my guest. There were humble beginning after the divorce, but Pauline eventually found her calling and nothing can stop her now.Getting support from her mom regarding her writing and being able to have honest open conversations was always helpful, yet Pauline didn't like it "when I dressed sexy. I could pierce my ears, dye my hair, no tattoos till 18. My mother also has a really loud laugh" recalls Rachelle. So loud that Rachelle will sometimes ask her mother to not laugh so loud if they're out in a restaurant.Some of Rachelle's favorite Judy Blume books include, "Are You There God, It's Me Margaret," "Blubber," "Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing" and so many more. But it was Ms. Blume's natural writing style that enthralled not only Rachelle but teens and young adults around the world, even today. There was a period in the 1980's that Judy Blume was one of the most banned author in America. She wrote about somewhat sensitive topics that her audience was looking to learn more about, but not from their parents. Topics such as menstruation, puberty, parental divorce, sexuality, women's lib/feminism and so much more.One of many things that Rachelle is grateful for is that her mother was very open about speaking with her about a woman's body and sexuality. Again, it was reflective for Rachelle to write this latest book "The Genius of Judy Blume-How Judy Blume Rewrote Childhood for All of Us." She clearly saw many similarities in both her mother and Ms. Blume's life. Though the transition of being a young divorcee with children was challenging, once these women hit their stride, they found themselves unstoppable.Send all Social Media Links:FACEBOOK: https://www.facebook.com/rachellebergstein/INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/rachellewb/LINKEDIN: https://www.linkedin.com/in/rachelle-bergstein/OTHER: https://banneryear.substack.com/WEBSITE:www.rachellebergstein.com  "Should Have Listened To My Mother" is an ongoing conversation about mothers/female role models and the roles they play in our lives.

After being molested by the King, Hester is summoned to her estranged father's home in Wales.

Joel expresses gratitude and delves into themes of God’s kindness, servanthood, and future promises for Israel and the world, emphasizing God’s desire to win back His people tenderly. Tommy Fretwell shares a significant meeting between an orthodox Jewish Prime Minister and the Joshua Fund, highlighting the importance of trust, mercy, and aligning with God’s prophetic plan during challenging times. The discussion of Isaiah 40 covers its historical context, including the fall of the northern kingdom to Assyria and Hezekiah’s reign. Tommy explains Isaiah’s shift from judgment to comfort and messianic blessings. Joel explores the concept of "double" in Isaiah, which signifies fulfillment and exactness and relates this to the promise of joy and restoration. They examine verses 3-5, which call for preparing a way for the Lord, tying it to John the Baptist’s role and future global recognition of the Messiah. Verses 6-8 emphasize the transience of human life compared to the enduring nature of God’s word, offering lasting hope and comfort. Joel discusses the dual nature of prophecies, the first and second comings of the Messiah, and reads Isaiah 40:1-2, highlighting themes of comfort and peace for Jerusalem. He ties Isaiah 53 into the discussion, presenting the servant’s role in fulfilling promises of comfort and forgiveness.

Sometimes, there's nothing like the feeling of comfort of coming home. But when Herod died, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared in a dream to Joseph in Egypt, saying, “Rise, take the child and his mother and go to the land of Israel, for those who sought the child's life are dead.”— Matthew 2:19-20 There's nothing like the comfort of home. I travel a lot, so I know that feeling well—the familiar bed, the space that's mine, and the presence of family. Home offers belonging, a comfort that feels incomplete anywhere else. I imagine Joseph and Mary longed for that, too. Egypt wasn't home; Nazareth was. It was where they grew up, where their family and friends lived. For months, maybe even years, they lived as strangers in a foreign land, protecting the Savior of the world while navigating a season of discomfort and uncertainty. Then, one day, another angel appeared to Joseph, bringing news that must have flooded them with relief: “It's time to go home.” Herod was dead, and the season of displacement was over. I picture their gratitude as they packed up and began the journey back to a familiar place. But here's the truth: comfort and discomfort often coexist in God's plans. For Joseph and Mary, the comfort of going home came after enduring an uncomfortable season that shaped them. Life's challenging seasons—those moments of uncertainty, stretching, and waiting—are no different for us. They feel foreign and unsettling, but they are also refining. And like Joseph and Mary, we're never alone. Jesus is with us through every twist, every trial, and every unknown territory. God uses seasonal discomfort to prepare us for his sovereign comfort. Are you in an uncomfortable season right now? Maybe you are in a season today that feels like everything familiar has been stripped away. I cannot encourage you enough to listen closely and look around at what God is saying and doing. God speaks in our discomfort, just like he did to Joseph and Mary. You need to trust that he is present, working in your life, and leading you toward the comfort of home—at just the right time. Comfort is coming, my friend. Jesus, thank You for being my comfort in every season, even in the discomfort. Help me to trust You as You guide me through. Amen. #GodsTiming, #ComfortInChrist, #SeasonsOfFaith Ask This: How has God used discomfort in your life to shape your faith and trust in Him? What steps can you take to trust God's timing in your current season of uncertainty? Do This: Find comfort in Jesus. Pray This: Jesus, thank You for walking with me through every season, both comfortable and uncomfortable. Help me to trust Your timing and find peace in Your presence. Amen. Play This: God of All Comfort.
