Podcasts about The Great Love

This essay presents Doug Scott's psychospiritual framework called "The Tripolar Self," which integrates Richard Rohr's teachings on the True Self/False Self with the perennial wisdom of the Law of Three. The framework consists of three elements: The Significant Self: The agential self that makes meaning of experiences and oscillates between two depths. The Floating Self: Corresponds to Rohr's "false self"—operating from a rigid, fragile perspective focused on validation and control. Its ethos is "transcend and exclude." The Anchored Self: Represents Rohr's "true self"—our deepest identity beneath all roles and personas. Its ethos is "include and transcend." The Law of Three explains transformation through three phases: contrast (recognizing differences between our Floating and Anchored Selves), tension (experiencing the pull between them), and resolution (integrating both aspects from the perspective of the Anchored Self). Transformation occurs primarily through "Great Love and Great Suffering," both requiring vulnerability and surrender of control. The essay explains how living primarily from the Floating Self creates constant struggle for validation, while operating from the Anchored Self brings groundedness and the ability to hold paradox. The goal isn't to eliminate the Floating Self but to redeem it, using it as a vehicle for service from the perspective of the Anchored Self. The essay concludes that life's purpose isn't the pursuit of happiness but the discovery of meaning—learning to "die well and often" by surrendering to the Anchored Self while using the Floating Self to do good in the world.

Great Love for Their King 2 Samuel 23

 A great love relationship is designed differently than a great partnership between male and female.Can't I have both?A great love lives from the polarity of both… the higher the diversity so greater can be the love.A partnership lives from similarity and to complement each other. So more both have in common and to complement each other, so better can be the partnership. My generation thought that we can transform a great love to an excellent partnership.My generation proved that this is not possible. And our divorce rate went through the roof. The generation of my parents has chosen their spouse for a good partnership…Many have failed, and many got their good partnership… In any case, if we want that great partnership, we have to choose our spouse wisely and to try every day to maintain a good relationship. There will always be ups and downs in any relationship.Had our parents a lousy relationship and/or we a difficult childhood the chances to live a good partnership is very small.Usually, a passionate love story ends early. And that is good so.Afterward, we can again choose to live the next passionate love story or a good partnership with/without kids.For many including me is a passionate love much more attractive and the sex is also more exciting than to be in a long-term partnership.Many people are missing that great love in their life and even didn't have any great love with awesome sex in their life. Because they have chosen a good partnership over a great love story. When their partnership didn't work out, they can't divorce because of the kids… If they had tried out to live that passionate love before they got engaged in a partnership, their life would be much happier. Because after experience so much pain in a great love story; they could enjoy more their partnership.For the people with a difficult childhood or their parents had a lousy partnership, is not so much choice!For them is a not so long love relationship the best. Afterward is finish and they can start with a new love relationship. In any case, to be in a bad relationship is much worse than to be in a time-limited love relationship.My Video: Is a great love or a partnership better? https://youtu.be/OItd_45N5VcMy Audio: https://divinesuccess.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/Podcast.B/Is-a-great-love-or-a-partnership-better.mp3

God showed his great love for us by sending Christ to die for us while we were still sinners. [NLT]

Palm Sunday, exploring the profound symbolism of Jesus' triumphal entry into Jerusalem. This story, found in Matthew 21, isn't just a historical account—it's a mirror for our own spiritual journeys. As we witness Jesus riding on a donkey, we're reminded of the humility that characterizes God's kingdom. This humble King, welcomed with shouts of 'Hosanna,' challenges us to examine our own hearts. Are we truly ready to receive Him, not just in moments of celebration, but in the everyday moments of our lives? The image of Jesus overturning tables in the temple serves as a powerful metaphor for the transformation He seeks in our lives. What tables need to be overturned in our hearts? What idols need to be driven out? This Palm Sunday narrative invites us to embrace a faith that goes beyond superficial praise, encouraging us to allow Christ to enter the Jerusalem of our hearts and bring true, lasting change.

With so much negativity spewed by the media, each month we share examples of individuals who are grateful for all they have, joyful in all they do and profoundly impactful in the communities where they serve. This month's On Fire For Good honoree's journey is remarkable and his professional impact is stunning, but what he celebrates most are the three letters signifying his achievements behind his name. Let me explain.

Jesus, the Son of God, faced more stress than we could ever comprehend. As the cross loomed before Him, He was “overwhelmed with sorrow to the point of death.” What would have happened if Jesus had avoided the cross? May we never take for granted the amazing sacrifice made on our behalf. What great love He showed!

Paige F shares on the topic of great love at Serenity in the Sequoias 02-14-25

Who were the “minor prophets” of Israel? Hosea, Amos, Obadiah, Joel, etc. are books that we tend to skip over in our Bibles. However, there is a powerful gospel message throughout the minor prophets. Though people sin and judgement comes, restoration is always available. God continually says to His people, “Return to Me.” In this series we will see how God's love never gives up, never stops, and never ends when it comes to His people.

By Jerold Aust - The Bible provides numerous examples of how great God's love is for those that are called and follow him. When we're baptized and receive His spirit we're added to the glorious Book of Life.

Here at I Hate Music we love love. Today is Valentine's Day so maybe today we will even love music! Most musical genres are known, and perhaps even defined by, love songs. But what about metal? Are ballads the only type of song in metal that has the theme of romantic love? Do bands like Cannibal Corpse have love songs? What defines a love song? What are some great love songs?In this episode we dive into love in metal, love in music, some listener emails, and even listen to a love song or two.Don't pass the aux, that's old school.

Sunday Sermon by Pastor Chuck Constant

Main Idea: "Great love comes leaping and bounding even over mountains of difficulty which separate." 1. A closer look at the illustration 2. We want and need to be loved like this 3. The baby in the manger was one of God's leaps of love

Reverend Chris Lee unexpectedly found himself with an online platform where he shares short, encouraging messages that authentically reflect what he's facing in any given moment. The messages have resonated with thousands, bolstering Chris's belief that people are longing for an understanding of their identity and who God says they are.    Quotes “I felt just the whisper of God say, ‘I want you to be on this platform and give a message of the gospel to a younger generation—to young people who were searching.'” - Rev. Chris Lee “I think a lot of people online are looking for authenticity. That's what I try to do—give an authentic message that's hitting me at the moment and use that to immediately speak it online. Maybe it's about hope, or fear, or love, or about God's justice, mercy, or His grace—and I just come out with it.” - Rev. Chris Lee “I think one of the things that I noticed in culture is [that] we're starving to be known and seen, and I think we're finding it in all the wrong places. I really wanted to teach and tell people that the truth of where they really are searching is in who God says you are. He says, ‘You are my beloved, I love you.'” - Rev. Chris Lee “Your true self is good and loved by God. And yes, you will fall. Yes, you've got stuff wrong. Yes, you sin. But you are also deeply loved—and by a loving Father [who] has done all things for you to know Him.” - Rev. Chris Lee  “I think the compass of our soul searches to find its home, and ultimately, our home is found in God and who God says we are. He says that we are His and that we are loved. I think to know ourselves—to be able to truly know who we are—we should know God.” - Rev. Chris Lee  “Coming to a place of gratitude—of thanksgiving—for what you have, and being able to give thanks for your strengths, but also acknowledging that your weaknesses lead you to other lessons and other abilities to be taught, can strengthen you.” - Rev. Chris Lee “If we live a life that is a little bit more seeking to be thankful—seeking to be grateful for things—then the lens in which we view the world changes. It leads to humility which I think leads to greater peace in our lives.” - Rev. Chris Lee “When we know God's character, we are better able to know who we are, because we are made by Him and for Him.” - Rev. Chris Lee “Wherever you may be in your life—maybe you've wandered, maybe you've got it wrong—God isn't surprised. He's not shocked. He simply loves you. He wants to bring you home again and again.” - Rev. Chris Lee    Guest's Links Rev. Chris Lee's website Rev. Chris Lee's Instagram Rev.

Hope Lebedyn is a nonprofit organization in Ukraine providing aid and hope during a time of war, chaos, fear, and uncertainty. Co-founder Peter Martin shares the realities of what Ukrainian families are currently facing, and how God's love has shown up as a lifeline.     Quotes “My family hasn't been asked to leave their home because a bomb might come through their roof. I haven't had to abandon all my things. So I see love in the blessing of God, in the things that I have around me, which so often I take for granted.” - Peter Martin “About twenty-five years ago, I went over to the outskirts of Moscow to hear 650 pastors from the underground church in the Soviet era share stories and how they wanted to see the church grow in the future. I was absolutely mesmerized by what was happening. The power of these stories that came across—they were just mind blowing, to be quite frank, and what people would do for the sake of the Christian cause. And I thought, Well, how can I help?” - Peter Martin “We give out aid. We go to orphanages. We've helped loads of refugees and particularly children. We planted the church there. We've even planted other satellite churches from there. We've built a brand new activity center which runs a bakery and it has had an amazing impact in these recent years.” - Peter Martin “We make sure that every child that comes to our center has a copy of the Jesus Storybook Bible. Since the start of the war, we have distributed around 2,500 to 3,000 and given them away for free. They've had a huge impact.” - Peter Martin “With everything we do, we share the love of Jesus and the Father with Bibles and scripture, through services, and through activities. We're seeing lots of young people hungry to study God's Word, which is incredible.” - Peter Martin “God, through His Son Jesus, will meet us in our time of need and He'll come into our hearts. I believe that's the same for us and these people that are struggling in the war [in Ukraine]. God will come back to them and restore them in due time.” - Peter Martin    Guest's Links Hope Lebedyn's website Hope Lebedyn's Facebook   Resources Mentioned in This Episode Swan Lake by Pyotr Illyich Tchaikovsky “How Great Thou Art” by Stuart Hine   Seasonal Products Free Jesus Storybook Bible Advent Reading Plan & Bonus Printables The Jesus Storybook Bible: A Christmas Collection The Jesus Storybook Bible Advent Activity Book Song of the Stars: A Christmas Story Little One, We Knew You'd Come My Little Library of God's Great Love    Connect with Sally Lloyd-Jones Jesus Storybook Bible Facebook Jesus Storybook Bible Instagram  Sally's website Sally's Facebook Sally's Instagram   *Episode produced by Four Eyes Media*

Lisa Martinez was incredibly anxious and fearful as a child, but neither Lisa nor her parents understood why. When Lisa attended her freshman year of college at Franciscan University—a place Lisa and many others refer to as a "field hospital” for souls—Lisa discovered why she had been consumed by such angst and fear. Lisa experienced flashbacks of sexual abuse as a young child. She finally knew what she had been carrying. Listen as Lisa takes us on a sensitive journey of the soul, culminating in Christ's miraculous healing through prayer, contemplation, EMDR therapy, Catholic retreats and more. If you or someone you love is the victim of abuse, know that healing is possible!

Intimacy can be transformative, but what happens when we make it sacred? This episode dives into the raw, transformative power of sacred sexuality through the stories of three couples who've been through it all—breakups, reunions, and those messy, beautiful moments that define a relationship. They're sharing how rituals and shared practices have not only strengthened their bonds but helped them navigate conflict in a way that feels... well, sacred. Whether you're coupled up or just curious about deeper love, this one will make you see connection in a whole new light. When it comes to conflict, these couples are refreshingly honest, offering a glimpse into the ways they tackle tough times together. They'll talk you through some seriously cool approaches to handling disagreements—think “calls to greatness” instead of arguments. It's all about building something that feels safe, respected, and still exciting. They're not just sharing tips—they're giving a genuine look at what it takes to build trust, feel seen, and truly support each other. It's the kind of understanding that goes beyond advice and into the heart of what makes love last. And, in perhaps the most beautiful part, they explore what “home” means in a relationship—a feeling of joy, safety, and shared purpose that isn't easy to put into words but is felt deeply. Whether you're partnered or single, these stories will get you thinking about love, connection, and how we all crave that deeper sense of belonging.  Key Timestamps: [00:01:43] Sacred sexuality and relationships.

And so if you want full spectrum aliveness, you have to open yourself into a portal of sexuality that allows you to express the fullness of your being."– Layla Martin "Sacred sexuality is… instead of needing to look outside for that aliveness, you really get to find it in your partnership—and it's because of the partnership, and the safety of your partnership that you get to then go so deep." – Johann Urb "Once your kids... your children come into the world, then you understand the word compromise—because your life changes for them, as well as for each other, because you have to help make each other better parents and be there for each other." –  Richard Schiff Where to Find Our Guests: Layla Martin's Website: https://laylamartin.com/ Dr. Baback Amen's Website: https://www.dramenfunctional.com/ Sheila Kelley's Website: https://bysheilakelley.com/ Richard Schiff's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/therichardschiff Rachel Pringle Urb's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/positivepringle Johann Urb's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/urbjohann To stay connected and to learn more about Vishen and Mindvalley, click on the links below:  Website: https://www.mindvalley.com/about YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/vishenlakhiani Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mindvalley/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/vishen/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/mindvalley Subscribe to 'Mindvalley Membership' to discover 65+ transformational Mindvalley programs – at a surprisingly low annual fee here

Real love for Real life is the greatest gift God has provided for you.

Jody Hojin Kimmel, Sensei - ZCNYC - 11/3/24 - Hojin Sensei encourages us to stay focused, remain alert and aware and to not run away from what comes up. To turn towards practice. To remember that we each have good medicine as practitioners to meet our life, to protect and guard the mind of goodness. Then in turn to offer the Bodhi mind of love, wisdom and transformation.
