Podcasts about Good People

Author Amy Blumenfeld returns to the podcast to discuss her new novel, SUCH GOOD PEOPLE, a masterfully crafted and nuanced story about a decades-long friendship tested by loyalty, justice, and the ripple effects of one life-altering decision. Amy shares her inspiration for this novel, from growing up with a criminal court judge father to uncovering story ideas in unlikely places (like a halfway house newsletter). She explores themes of friendship, moral ambiguity, journalism, and hidden truths in marriage, while also discussing her contributions to ON BEING JEWISH NOW, the anthology edited by Zibby, and her experiences navigating the publishing world as a Jewish writer today.Purchase on Bookshop: https://bit.ly/44JfkHMShare, rate, & review the podcast, and follow Zibby on Instagram @zibbyowens!

It has been said that for believers in a just and “fair” God, thy have to explain and come to grips with one overarching question:  how God could let good people suffer and evil people prosper and seem to be “rewarded” for their actions. (for the non-believer in God, he or she has to explain everything else about “why” in the world). This podcast will take the “dangerous” and ultimately “impossible” challenge of trying to formulate possible Jewish responses and understandings of the issue, based on the sources, Five different approaches will be examined, with the first two in this podcast.

In this sermon, Pastor Christopher talks about the conduct of true believers, and how to spot counterfeit Christians. In this passage, he shares with us two points John makes: 1. the Identity of God's Children, and 2. How a Christian Cannot Sin, and what that means. Finally, he talks about the new father and patriarch we gain when we put our trust in God, and how it is important to be involved with fellow believers. Are we complete as believers in Christ? What does it mean to be a child of God? What does it mean by 'A Believer Does Not Sin'? Listen to learn more! LAKEVIEW MISSIONARY CHURCH810 S.

Ready for a deep dive into government, violence, and Christian ethics? Patrick Carroll, a seasoned libertarian thinker, is back to dissect the core beliefs of statists, revealing how even well-intentioned government supporters inadvertently endorse violence. This eye-opening conversation challenges listeners to reconsider their views on political power and its compatibility with Christian teachings. Key topics include: The Anatomy of the Statist: Carroll dissects various statist mindsets, from well-intentioned humanitarians to power-hungry megalomaniacs. He argues that despite good intentions, statist thinking ultimately relies on coercion. Taxation as Theft: The conversation dives deep into the libertarian view that taxation isn't just metaphorically similar to theft—it is theft. Carroll explains why this perspective isn't hyperbole but a fundamental ethical stance. The Violence Inherent in Government: The discussion exposes how all government action, at its root, relies on the threat of force. Christian Ethics vs. State Power: Carroll argues that Jesus' teachings on loving neighbors and enemies are fundamentally at odds with governmental coercion. This episode promises to challenge deeply held beliefs about the role of government in society and offers a compelling case for embracing non-violent approaches to social organization. Tune in for an intellectually stimulating conversation that might just change how you view government, freedom, and your role in shaping a more just society.

From rushed hiring decisions to broken training processes and toxic team dynamics, you'll learn how to identify the system flaws that quietly drive good people away.

Chad Myers and I talk about the latest piece from The Embassy - The Good People and The Bad People.Here is an excerpt:About four or five years ago, a friend gave me a copy of Richard Beck's book Unclean: Meditations on Purity, Hospitality, and Mortality. In this book, Beck explores how we view concepts like purity and contamination in our culture (and other cultures) and how that transfers to our view of people. Often, the people we tend to reject are those who move us to disgust. Our rejection of them is partly a reflection of that disgust. Beck asks us to imagine a glass of juice into which he drops a cockroach and stirs it around. After removing the bug, do we want the juice? Almost everyone would say no. But Beck, citing the work of Psychologists Paul Rozin and April Fallon, shares that after the juice is filtered in a way that ensures all traces of the cockroach have been removed - even if the juice is boiled after filtering - most people refuse to drink the juice. It has been contaminated for us, it has failed the purity test in a way that is permanent. It is an example of a kind of fear of contamination that comes from a reaction of disgust. Disgust and fear can be related - we fear coming into contact with what disgusts us. It is also an example of what is called negativity dominance. A small amount of the negative dominates and contaminates the larger amount. It doesn't matter if it is a 12 ounce glass of juice or a gallon, or if it is a small or a large bug, the result is the same. The clean juice doesn't counteract the bug, instead, it is contaminated in its entirety.As I said, I read Beck's book about four or five years ago but pulled it off my shelf to take another look after receiving a text from another friend. He sent me a link to an interview of comedian Tim Dillon by CNN's Elle Reeve. In his text, he described as the hour and ten minute long interview as “one of the more painful interviews I've ever witnessed.” Of course I watched the whole thing. Painful is not a bad description, I thought it had a bit of a train-wreck quality. Maybe I shouldn't have, but I found it fascinating.Dillon is a successful and popular comedian with a successful and popular podcast. He is a bit hard to pin down. I think that is a good thing, more of us should be a bit hard to pin down. I'll come back to that. Dillon is gay, irreverent, irreligious (I believe), a liberal of sorts politically, but heterodox, eclectic in his thinking. As such, he has been critical of positions taken by the right and the left, politically and culturally. He has been critical of positions I hold. I forgive him this indiscretion because he is very funny.I know nothing about Reeve aside from this interview. On the other hand, the interview was an hour and ten minutes long and I watched all of it. In my reading, Reeve represented a stance that is all too familiar in our culture - and I don't just mean it is reflected in the media, though it is prominent there. It seems to be an assumption underlying many of our interactions, social media or conversations or whatever, regarding any number of topics related to the culture and politics.Reeve's assumption, underlying far more than half of her questions, is that there are good people and bad people. She repeatedly asked Dillon about trends in comedy, in the podcast universe, in politics that had a very similar theme. There are good people and bad people, Reeve clearly assumed herself to be one of the good people, and assumed it is the job of the good people - be they comedians, podcasters, journalists, or politicians, to expose the bad people as bad. She never attempted to make the case for this assumption, she never argued for it, it was, to her, unquestioned. This assumption manifested itself in many ways, but most prominently, Reeve considered some of Dillon's podcast guests to be bad and wanted Dillon to do more to expose their badness. She also seemed to bemoan the reality of podcasters in general talking to politicians without asking them “are you bad?”I don't have an opinion about the podcasts that she asked about - I haven't heard any of them. But I think this good people / bad people assumption is behind much of our cultural division and, quite frankly, makes us dumber. As Dillon was pushing back on her assumption, Reeve said, “these are not my ‘are you bad?' questions”, to which Dillon replied, “we are all bad.” Reeve then attempted to make a soft case that Dillon was bad, in a ‘if I was going to make the case, it would look like this' sort of way. I think she thought, and wanted it to be clear to us, that she thought Dillon was one of the bad people (and she was doing her good people duty by pointing it out).Dillon's response that we are all bad, though probably he is not aware of it, has a grounding in Christian theology. We are all flawed, we are all broken, we all need redemption. We should not sit in judgment, certainly not in condemnation, of others.The good people / bad people assumption (again, it is not argued for, it is simply assumed) generally means that I assume the good people position. I am joined by the people who are “like me”, the other “good people.” I or we are in a position to judge, to condemn, the badness of others. But I don't need to be too self-critical. I am one of the good people.I'm not naive, I am aware that some people seem to do a higher percentage of bad things than others. However, the proposition that my own percentage is 0 or so low that it has no real effect in the world is worse than naive. Moreover, even people who allegedly fit into the bad category may be right in this or that particular case, they may say something true that I should hear. Which I won't if I make it the hallmark of the good person never to listen to the bad people. Which I also won't if I think any contact with the bad people contaminates me permanently. I must stay away, I must not platform, I must condemn - in order to maintain my purity as one of the good people. After all, the smallest exposure to the impurity of the bad people threatens to contaminate me entirely.One of the results of this assumption, painfully obvious in the interview, is a lack of genuine curiosity about other people - especially if we have already classified them as good or bad. Reeve lacked curiosity about what Dillon would say in response to her and, therefore, seemed to miss much of what he was saying. Or she didn't interact with it, choosing instead to pursue the good/bad dichotomy. As I said, Dillon is a bit hard to pin down, a bit of a contradiction or mystery that I find interesting, but that is lost on Reeve, or on anyone else who is only interested in the moral classification. When we put ourselves in this position, we stop listening, we stop being challenged, we stop refining our own thinking. We are far poorer for it and so is our culture. Just to be clear, I find myself agreeing with Dillon sometimes and disagreeing with him maybe a bit more of the time. But if I allow myself to listen, I get to know something about someone else, I learn something about what they think, and, with Dillon, I often laugh.Check out the whole piece.

Send us a textEpisode 285 - Fishing, Gatherings and Good PeopleI'm back on the road once more and this time I'm in Derbyshire to attend one of our gatherings at Mallon and Green in Bakewell.I managed to tag on some fishing too and fish the Derwent with Geoff Hadley and bump into a few friends along the way as we fish late into the night.The next morning, I attend the annual event that takes place in Bakewell to celebrate the anniversary of the river Wye switching to the dry fly only rule after James Ogden showed how devastating this method of fishing could be.I speak with Jan Hobot who makes the ceremonial cast on the river and learn a little bit about this tradition that has taken place for 160 years.Later in the day, I head over to Mallon and Green, a fly shop, that over the last 3 years has become the hub for the local fishing community.I speak with some of the people attending about fishing who share some interesting stories.This a snapshot into fly fishing on many levels that I hope you'll enjoy listening to. 

In this episode, we dive into a profound question that has been asked for generations: why do bad things happen to good people? Taking a biblical perspective, the discussion centers around the story of Job, a man who faced unimaginable hardships despite him living a good life. By examining the first two chapters of the Book of Job, we discover a behind-the-scenes look at the spiritual battle between God and Satan, shedding light on the nature of suffering, divine sovereignty, and human perception of good and bad.

“How good is good enough?”  Here's the short answer. We could never be good enough to go to Heaven. It's simply not possible for humans to satisfy the justice of God with our efforts at being good.  The Bible teaches us that being a good person could never save us. Instead, salvation is based on the goodness of Jesus, on our behalf.Main Points:1. Jesus, in kindness and love, took our sins upon himself and once and for all died in our place. This is the definition of goodness. God did for us what we could not do for ourselves. Jesus paid the penalty for our sins, satisfying the justice of a righteous and holy God.2. Forgiveness of our sins and the promise of eternal life is received as a gift from God. We receive this gift as we confess Jesus Christ as our Savior and Lord. We place our faith in his death and resurrection for our sins, instead of placing our faith in our good works.3. Refuse to buy into the deception that you could be good enough to go to Heaven. Put your faith in Jesus, who was good on our behalf.Today's Scripture Verses:Judges 21:25 - “In those days Israel had no king; all the people did whatever seemed right in their own eyes.Proverbs 14:12 - “There is a path before each person that seems right, but it ends in death.”Isaiah 64:6 - “We are all infected and impure with sin. When we display our righteous deeds, they are nothing but filthy rags.”Titus 3:4-5 - “When God our Savior revealed his kindness and love, he saved us, not because of the righteous things we had done, but because of his mercy.”Quick Links:Donate to support this podcastLeave a review on Apple PodcastsGet a copy of The 5 Minute Discipleship JournalConnect on SocialJoin The 5 Minute Discipleship Facebook Group

Send Us a Message (include your contact info if you'd like a reply)Divorce has a reputation for bringing out surprising behaviors in otherwise composed, reasonable people. Even the most patient parent might find themselves sending aggressive texts at 2 AM. The kindest spouse might suddenly become fixated on revenge. The most logical professional might make financially devastating decisions based purely on emotion.Why does this happen? In this episode, we explore the psychological underpinnings of why good people often behave badly during divorce. We unpack the popular saying that "criminal courts see bad people on their best day, while divorce courts see good people on their worst day" - a profound truth that helps us understand the perfect storm of emotional, practical, and identity challenges divorce creates.When someone faces the end of their marriage, they're not just untangling a relationship - they're grieving the life they expected to have. This grief, combined with practical pressures like custody arrangements and financial concerns, pushes many into survival mode. And when we're in survival mode, our capacity for rational thinking diminishes dramatically.As divorce coaches, we've developed specific approaches for working with clients caught in reactive emotional states. We share practical techniques for creating judgment-free spaces where clients can explore what's really happening beneath their anger, fear, or revenge fantasies. Through powerful questions that invite self-awareness, we help clients align their behavior with their true values and long-term goals.Whether you're a helping professional working with divorcing clients or someone navigating your own divorce journey, this conversation offers compassionate insights into the emotional complexity of ending a marriage. Remember, reacting emotionally doesn't make someone a bad person - it makes them human. With the right support, these challenging moments can become opportunities for profound growth and self-discovery. Divorce often brings emotional chaos—and as attorneys, mediators, financial advisors, divorce coaches, and dispute resolution professionals, you're tasked with guiding clients through it.Join us for a practical and engaging LinkedIn Learning webinar:“From Chaos to Clarity: Strategies for Work with High Emotional Clients in Divorce" Learn more and RSVP Learn more about DCA® or any of the classes or events mentioned in this episode at the links below:Website: www.divorcecoachesacademy.comInstagram: @divorcecoachesacademyLinkedIn: divorce-coaches-academyEmail: DCA@divorcecoachesacademy.com

Wellness + Wisdom | Episode 742 Is your fear of suffering keeping you from discovering the deepest treasures of your soul? Author and extreme adventurer, Akshay Nanavati, joins Josh Trent on the Wellness + Wisdom Podcast, episode 742, to share how embracing suffering during his 60-day solo crossing of Antarctica became the key to transcending limitations and unlocking pure potential, what his journey taught him about the paradox of oneness, and why the only way out of suffering is through it. "When you stop resisting suffering, it frees you from the grasp of suffering. It's not the suffering in and of itself that I seek. Suffering is the means, not the purpose.
