Podcasts about Futility

Listen to Pastor Marc preach from Ecclesiastes 9:11-10:7, observing how we should exercise wisdom for the good of others, rather than the guarantee of outcomes.

Ecclesiastes begins with a startling diagnosis: life “under the sun” can feel like smoke: fleeting, frustrating, and impossible to hold. In this Ash Wednesday message, we explore the way this book punctures our illusions about control, success, and satisfaction. Yet Ecclesiastes also invites us to look beyond the smokiness of life to the truth about our fragility, and we hold fast to the deeper hope that God entered our dust in Jesus Christ, and in Him our lives are not vapor, but held.

Possibly the best Australian song of all time is Bogle's tribute to the soldiers who died in the First World War, and a passionate protest against the whole concept of war. Plus more anti-war songs 

Ralph and Brandon are really up against it now. Anita is apparently in the house, Ned and Loreen aren't Ned and Loreen.... what's next?

Why do the people you thought knew you best stay silent—or worse, side with the person who hurt you? This secondary betrayal often cuts deeper than the narcissistic behavior itself. Switzerland friends insist on neutrality while your pain makes them uncomfortable. Flying monkeys carry your vulnerability straight back to your abuser. When you finally name what's happening and the people closest to you rush to minimize or report back, your nervous system doesn't just register disappointment—it registers danger. Tony walks through why "I don't want to take sides" isn't actually neutral, how flying monkeys weaponize your words, and the exhausting ping-pong match of trying to be understood by people who need not to understand you in order to feel safe themselves. In this episode, you'll learn: The critical difference between Switzerland friends (who neutralize) and flying monkeys (who expose)—and why both leave you questioning reality How narcissistic systems hijack co-regulation, making everyone responsible for stabilizing the most emotionally immature person in the room Why your body's response after sharing something vulnerable is better data than the words exchanged The five ways narcissists regulate their nervous systems through you: superiority, victimhood, being right, being admired, and being defended How to stop "auditioning for belief" and start choosing relationships that can actually hold emotional weight Drawing from over 20 years of couples therapy and thousands of real conversations, Tony offers a framework for recognizing when explanation has replaced connection—and why the most regulated thing you can say is simply, "I know what I experienced." Ready to stop offering your nervous system as a resource to people who won't protect it?

False claims about polling numbers. The John Deere story morphing from a distribution center into a manufacturing plant. Tariff threats that never changed company plans. Math that simply doesn't work—like lowering prices by “1000%.” None of it matters, because it all gets dismissed as “Trump being Trump,” just as past misstatements from Biden and Obama were routinely waved off. There's no accountability, no correction cycle, and no consequence for being wrong. At this stage, trying to keep up with every false or misleading claim isn't journalism—it's futility. Assume a large percentage is nonsense and move on.

More people than ever now believe in a flat Earth--perhaps you've wondered about it yourself. I'm the first guy to be distrustful of things that the government tells us, and I've watched most of the conspiracy documentaries on the topic, but I remain utterly unconvinced of the flat earth because of simple logic: There is tremendous economic incentive for someone to expose the supposed hoax of the globe Earth, yet no one has yet to offer really compelling evidence of a flat Earth.Here I break down why I remain a "glober," and why "flat Earth" is a Dunning-Kruger trap for both skeptics and believers...Everything mentioned here

This is the second part of a conversation with the poet, musician and thinker Penny Rimbaud, co-founder, with Steve Ignorant, of the anarcho-punk band and activist art collective Crass   Crass emerged as a band in 1977, but quickly became something more complex, rejecting rock stardom, record industry norms, releasing records on their own label and using their platform to challenge war, nationalism, consumerism, sexism, and state violence.    In this second part of the interview, we about the events that led to Crass and hear more about Dial House, an old rambling farmhouse in rural Essex, a long-running experiment in collective life — part commune, part refuge, part creative hub. It was here, where he still lives, that Penny's music, philosophy, artwork, debate, and daily survival are entangled. And we hear about the founding of the Stonehenge Free Festival and the death of Wally Hope, cultural terrorism, Penny's work since Crass, and his thoughts on art, spirituality and the self. Music played:  Futility and The Soldier's Dream (The War Poems of Wilfred Owen) So What (Crass) The Song of Self (With Louise Elliot) You Brave Od Land (With Youth)   For more on Penny and his work   #counterculture #crass #pennyrimbaud #anarchism #capitalism #dialhouse #artschool #wallyhope #stonehengefreefestival

The Futility of Canadian-Chinese Trade DiplomacyPREVIEW FOR LATER: GUEST CHARLES BURTON. Charles Burton critiques Mark Carney's trade mission to Beijing, noting it mirrors past failures. Despite attempts to ignore human rights to boost trade, historical precedent shows Canada's market share declined under similar strategies.

Title: The Futility of Idols Preacher: Chad Pritchard Series: What Will God's Judgement Reveal? Passage: Isaiah

Star Tribune columnist Patrick Reusse and host Michael Rand look back at the weekend in sports, starting with another inept performance by the Vikings. They were shut out in Seattle with Max Brosmer making his first start. Justin Jefferson didn't speak to the media afterwards. Plus the Gophers beat Wisconsin for the fourth time in five years, the Wolves beat a couple quality teams and more.

Romans 7 confronts us with a profound spiritual reality: we cannot earn God's favor through our own efforts, no matter how hard we try. The passage uses the powerful illustration of marriage to show that we've been released from the law's demands through Christ's death and resurrection. Like a widow freed from her obligations to a deceased husband, we've died to the law so we can belong to Christ. The message reveals the futility of trying to live the Christian life through self-powered obedience. The law serves as a mirror showing us our sin, defining it clearly and even deepening our awareness of it, but it cannot free us from it. Paul's honest confession about his own struggle—wanting to do good but finding himself doing what he hates—resonates with every believer's experience. Yet this isn't a message of despair. It's a setup for the glorious truth that follows: there is no condemnation for those in Christ Jesus. The Spirit of life has set us free from the law of sin and death. Our sanctification isn't about trying harder; it's about abiding deeper in Christ and allowing the Holy Spirit to work transformation in us.

Tutti e due i paesi hanno bisogno di concentrarsi su questioni interne e necessitano di tempo per prepararsi alle prossime probabili mosse. Ai prossimi probabili scossoni. E per risolvere questioni interne, come ad esempio la tendenza al pessimismo dei giovani cinesi, un fenomeno raccolto intorno a una nuova espressione, “sino-pessimismo”.

Into the Sun is a new musical featuring the poems of British war poets and soldiers who were killed in World War I. Co-author Mike Gubser (James Madison University) says the title is from Wilfred Owen's 1918 poem Futility, where soldiers try to awaken their fallen comrade with the warmth of the sun. Move him into the sun. Gently its touch awoke him once, At home, whispering of fields unsown. Always it woke him, even in France, Until this morning and this snow. Later in the show: The 1918 Battle of Megiddo was the world's last great cavalry charge and a decisive British victory. Eric Osborne (Virginia Military Institute) says the victory led to the collapse of the Ottoman Empire and paved the way for the future state of Israel in Palestinian territories. Plus: In his forthcoming book, “Unwilling Doughboys: The U.S. Army's Foreign-born Conscripts in World War I, Alex Paul (Virginia Military Institute) shatters the myth that during WWI, most immigrants in the United States submissively complied with the conscription practices of many local draft boards.

Rejecting God's wisdom and embracing darkness leads only to destruction, but those who trust in the Lord find true safety and light amid a world that glorifies evil.

Proverbs 1:1-7 reveals that true wisdom begins with fearing the Lord—fools reject this, clinging to their own way, leading only to emptiness and destruction.
