Podcasts about Fractured

If something or someone has caused your faith to fracture, don't miss this edition of Building Relationships with Dr. Gary Chapman. Bible teacher and medical doctor, Lina Abujamra (ah boo JAM ruh) went through a period of disillusionment with her church and its leaders. Instead of deconstructing or leaving her faith, she found it strengthened. What do you do with a fractured faith? See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

My guest this week is Dr. Kristin Kobes Du Mez, author of a recent book called Jesus and John Wayne: How White Evangelicals Corrupted a Faith and Fractured a Nation. We explored the definition of an “evangelical,” which apparently I was for the first half of my life (without realizing it), and themes of a patriarchal, male-centered, even toxic masculinity that pervades many evangelical circles. We also considered how it is that evangelical Christianity became so wrapped up in notions of patriotism, military strength, and other things that don't necessarily come from the life and message of Jesus Christ. Even if a person comes to reject the teachings from their evangelical upbringing, it can be a real challenge to let go of the attitudes and assumptions that have been instilled in us from a young age, as I know from personal experience. Kristin and I shared openly about our understanding of Christ, and the sadness that I certainly feel from the realization that we so often miss the central message of the Gospel—like somehow we just lost our way. And there's a lot to grieve when we realize how much we squander when we pattern our identity as religious followers after the worldly way of doing things, and how it doesn't seem to lead to something transcendent, like it could.

Guest Bios Show Transcript What do you do when Christianity hasn't lived up to your expectations? And the church, which is supposed to be a place of healing, instead has left deep and permanent wounds? In this edition of The Roys Report, Lina Abujamra, Bible teacher and author of Fractured Faith, shares a very personal account of how her faith was nearly deconstructed.

We've lost an important thread that held our society together. Gone are the days when we all sang from the same hymnal. Now separate silos act as reinforcing echo chambers that we never leave. The new reality is that we choose—or let social media algorithms choose—our news. It's done nothing but divide us. I hope you'll take a moment to listen.

In this week's developer interview, Josh sits down with Ryan Wianko, the project director of Fractured Veil, a new upcoming MMO survival game. We talk about the unsatisfied feeling Ryan has felt with previous survival games. Although they have been fun and he loves the genre, he felt more could be done when it comes to choices having an impact and reducing the tedium from them where apparent. We also discuss the challenges of building a universe where you can travel between servers with different biomes as well as having a game where you can possibly have 500 players in one world at a time. If you like what you hear be sure to follow Fractured Veil on Twitter, add the game to your Steam wishlist, and or back the game on Kickstarter.

Sixteen years of Angela Merkel in Germany have ended in an election with a three-way split, and nothing yet is settled – including the legacy of Merkel, whose stability helped reshape a continent. The possible next chancellor, Olaf Scholz, is famously boring, but still has a scandal percolating around him. As the parties haggle it out, it's left Germany and the world with one question – what's next?

Brandon Belt has a fractured thumb. On today's Locked On Giants podcast, host Ben Kaspick answers listeners' questions about the state of the San Francisco Giants. Among the questions asked and answered are: With Brandon Belt possibly out for the rest of the year, what is first base going to look like? LaMonte Wade Jr.? Darin Ruf? Kris Bryant? Will Darin Ruf play every day in Belt's absence once Ruf's back? Is the Giants' bullpen set without McGee as the closer? Who fills that role most often? Camilo Doval and Kervin Castro on the postseason roster? Doval in the 9th? With the structure of the playoffs, will the Giants build in any off days for Buster Posey, or can we expect to see him catch every game in the postseason? Any reason the Brewers will try at all this weekend against the Dodgers?

Nothing is unredeemable. That's the heart of the Father. Family redemption and personal transformation is God's heart for us, sometimes even more than just the immediate removal of obstacles. May our hearts grow to trust our ever-present God as we take a closer look at some characters in the Scriptures in order to gain a greater vantage point. Sometimes God may seem absent on the surface, but He is restoring and redeeming down to the tiniest details everything that happens to us, and every single one of them will be used for His glory.

Kristina Marusic is an investigative reporter covering environmental health & justice issues for Environmental Health News, a nonprofit and nonpartisan organization dedicated to driving science into public discussion and policy.   In early 2021, Environmental Health News published Kristina's “Fractured: The body burden of living near fracking,” a four-part series that revealed the health impacts of shale hydraulic fracturing—or fracking—on families living near fracking sites. Research for the series, conducted in the summer of 2019, included a nine-week collection of air, water, and urine samples from five southwestern Pennsylvania households, all including at least one child.   Kristina's “Fractured” series garnered national attention, and has become a key piece of evidence for lawmakers urging action on environmental health issues.   Prior to joining the Environmental Health News team in 2018, Kristina gained national acclaim for her work as a staff writer for MTV news, and has had bylines on stories in The Washington Post, CNN, Slate, Vice, Women's Health, and The Advocate.   Kristina's journalism is, as she tells host Grant Oliphant, “a way of reporting that helps society learn how to fix itself. It's not advocacy or fluff or good news, it's forward-looking, serious and critical.”   Of her reporting on environmental topics, including climate change, the health risks of fracking, and “super pollution” air events, Kristina says: “I believe that true, well-told stories have the power to change the world for good.”   Listen to how she is doing just that on this episode of “We Can Be.”   “We Can Be” is hosted by Heinz Endowments President Grant Oliphant, and produced by the Endowments, Josh Franzos and Tim Murray. Theme music by Josh Slifkin. Guest inquiries can be made to Scott Roller at sroller@heinz.org.

This week, we speed into disaster, with a man who lived a wild, and crazy life. Racing cars, and punching anyone within reach. He never quite achieved the accolades he wished for, on the track, so he devoted his life to his passions, teaching his son to race, and getting arrested. Fractured skulls, bruised girlfriends, threatened ex-wives, and an absolutely enormous fire ball later... At least his son is successful. This is a crazy story, of just too much speed! Smash the back of a car that has passed you, leave your son at a gas station because you're unsatisfied with his race performance, and beat up your dad with Jos "The Boss" Verstappen!! Check us out, every Tuesday! !We will continue to bring you the biggest idiots in sports history!!  Hosted by James Pietragallo & Jimmie Whisman  Donate at... patreon.com/crimeinsports or with paypal.com using our email: crimeinsports@gmail.com  Get all the CIS & STM merch at crimeinsports.threadless.com  Go to shutupandgivememurder.com for all things CIS & STM!!  Contact us on... twitter.com/crimeinsports crimeinsports@gmail.com facebook.com/Crimeinsports instagram.com/smalltownmurder

Today I'm launching a new podcast series focused on my new book Fractured Faith and for the next couple of weeks I'll be sharing with you some encouraging conversations with people who might have experienced some form of deconstruction, faith crisis, or have gone through church hurt. To kick off this podcast series I will be reading to you today the introduction to the book, called My Story. This is a short episode that I believe will touch anyone and everyone.   

Somewhere along the way, the Christianity you knew began to crumble. You began to suspect your faith was misplaced. Disillusionment set in. Churches hurt you. Their people failed you. Christian institutions were exposed as fake. And in it all, God was silent. Is He gone? Or is God really there, waiting for you to find Him instead of the counterfeits. After experiencing the near deconstruction of her own faith, our guest had to rebuild something more solid when the faith she once knew let her down. With her diagnostic style that comes from her training as an ER doc, Lina helps you grapple with questions like: Where is God in my pain? Is this how Christians are supposed to act? Why did my story end up this way? Is this the normal Christian life? Why is it so hard for Christians to love? Join us for this timely and encouraging conversation.

Modernity is Fractured. Our beliefs are fractured, our minds are fractured, & our daily lives leave us feeling disconnected. As the social fabric disintegrates, we pull inward, where (we think) it's safe. But this separation has its own cost. Rather than experiencing life as one part of a bigger plan, We become trapped as the gods of the tiny world inside our mental snow globes. But there is more. There is a life beyond the self, a beauty beyond us, a truth outside of us. There is more. Today on #NotAVictim we read an excerpt from ‘The Master and His Emissary' by Iain McGilchrist on the inward eyes of the modern mind, then we dive into the antidote as characterized in “Manalive” by G.K. Chesterton Sources: http://harvardichthus.org/2005/04/g-k-chesterton-and-the-joy-of-living/ https://www.lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v17/n21/iain-mcgilchrist/it-s-not-so-much-thinking-out-what-to-do-it-s-the-doing-of-it-that-sticks-me

From shaming and shunning to mocking and ridiculing, it's stunning how many relationships have been damaged amongst people with opposing political views in recent years. To begin healing and finding meaningful ways to move forward together, we've invited Apolitical unification expert Peter Montoya to join us. First, Peter shares the facts and landscape for what has led us to the growing divide. Then, he offers practical strategies to improve your relationships now. Today's conversation is a reminder that real change starts within each of us. Only then can our communities, nation and, ultimately, our world change. It starts with us. SHOW NOTES: One third of Americans believe we're headed towards a second Civil War. Peter describes this current season of divisiveness and polarization as a “cold” social war, unlike the Civil War in the 1860s. During the global pandemic the usual large national events of sporting champions, awards shows that rallied us together were missing, causing politics to become a way of life. Turn off the 24-hour news: In the mid-1990s, a shift occurred when news organizations began to sensualize stories to draw a larger audience to sell more advertising. While it's our innate desire to keep ourselves + our tribe safe by staying well informed, constant access to too much information too often is harmful to our mental health + well-being including increased stress + anxiety. “Propaganda is a monologue that is not looking for an answer but an echo.” Peter mentions that elected officials have become psychologic + symbolic avatars of status and representing the “good” team. Cancel culture or mob character assassination is when groups rally together in disapproval to take away their influence, power or position. Virtue signaling, the public expression of a moral viewpoint with the intent of communicating one's own good character, is often viewed as insincere yet Peter believes it's our basic instinct to belong. People debate to figure out who is right. People discuss to find out what is right. When with a good thought-partner with differing opinions, Peter discusses ideas or policies under the mutual understanding that there isn't a “winner” and each are not trying to change the other's mind. Attack ideas, not people. Instead of demonizing others for their differing creed, belief or opinion, focus on developing a relationship built on empathy and understanding. “Intolerance is to stand alone. Tolerance is to stumble separately and inclusion is to walk together.” Solutions to implement to make our lives better and heal our nation: Treat your phone like a toothbrush: Use it briefly and only as a utility. Scroll less, read more: retrain your brain to consume long-form writing Be more mindful, less reactional Play a different game: Don't be a pawn on someone else's chess board. Be a true Patriot: small sacrifices to benefit others. Pre-order a copy of Peter Montoya's book The Second Civil War here.

On today's episode, Red Wine and Blue founder Katie Paris is filling in for Jasmine Clark. Katie, Rachel Vindman, and Amanda Weinstein discuss their experiences with Christianity—especially evangelical Christianity—and how it's shaped their lives, their perspectives, and their politics. They also talk with Hannah Dasgupta, a mom from suburban Ohio; Hannah grew up in a conservative evangelical church and although her politics have changed since then, she hasn't lost her faith.After that, Rachel sits down with Kristin Du Mez, the author of one of her favorite books, Jesus and John Wayne: How White Evangelicals Corrupted a Faith and Fractured a Nation. Rachel has been singing Kristin's praises on Twitter ever since she read her book, so she was thrilled to chat with her about the intersections between faith, evangelical culture, sexism, racism, and Donald Trump. Finally, our hosts raise a glass to their children, camp, and the unexpected thrill of farm equipment in this week's “Toast to Joy.”Suburban women helped decide the 2020 election.

My friend, Dr. Christy Kane who has a PhD in clinical psychology, joins us to talk about her new book Fractured Souls and Splintered Memories: Unlocking the Boxes of Trauma (https://www.amazon.com/Fractured-Souls-Splintered-Memories-Unlocking/dp/1462140327). Dr Kane's book and clinical practice is focused on improving our mental health including identifying and working through trauma. In the podcast, Dr. Kane talks about why therapy is important, how we can talk about mental health in a more effective way, what is trauma and how we can help others to heal. If you want better insights and tools to solve the trauma in your life and help others, please read Dr Kane's book and listen to this podcast. Her insights were very helpful to me and I believe will help you. Thank you Dr, Kane for being on the podcast and all your great work.
