Podcasts about hoped

This week we're releasing the final episode of our Prayer Unfiltered series.Over the past several months you've trusted us with some incredibly honest questions about prayer, suffering, healing, God's sovereignty, disappointment, fasting, authority, hearing God, praying in the Spirit, and unanswered prayer.This final conversation brings all of those questions together around one simple truth:Grief and trust are not opposites.If you've ever wondered...Why should I keep praying?Did I do something wrong?Can I tell God I'm angry?How do I trust Him when my story isn't the one I wanted?...we hope this conversation reminds you that prayer has never been about finding the perfect formula. It has always been about relationship with the Father.This conversation explores biblical lament, grief, trust, God's sovereignty, healing, disappointment, and what genuine faith looks like when life doesn't unfold the way we expected.If you've ever questioned God's goodness after unanswered prayer, struggled with disappointment, or wondered how to keep trusting God through suffering, this episode is for you.Thank you for walking through this series with us. Your questions made these conversations possible, and we pray they've encouraged you to bring your whole heart before God.We'll be taking a short break while we travel and teach, but we'll be back soon with new episodes.Until then...Keep asking.Keep seeking.Keep listening.And most of all...Keep talking to your Father.

Ever had a burning question about faith, life, or the Bible that you were too afraid to ask? Well, You Asked For It—literally! The summer teaching series is built around the real, honest questions submitted by you, the Crossroads community. Each week, we'll explore what Wisdom has to say about the things that matter most to you.

In this message from Luke 8:40-56, we see two desperate people come to Jesus hoping He can meet an immediate need. Instead, they discover His compassion, authority, and power to give far more than they expected. When Jesus becomes our only hope, we learn to trust Him beyond what we see and discover that getting more than we hoped for ultimately means receiving more of Him.

You know? I'm going to be honest, I knew Sony already knew going in that announcing PlayStation disc production ending wouldn't go over well, but I don't think they expected people would STILL be talking about this in droves even a month later. So why not join back into the conversation? I've still got stuff to say, and new examples! You will own nothing and like it! Oh, also, while I've got you here... Would you happen to know where my friend's house is? My phone died.

GOSH THIS ONE CONVICTED ME

A few weeks ago, a longtime listener and subscriber named Leo tried to order my book on Amazon. It didn't go smoothly — stock issues, shipping headaches, the usual Amazon runaround. Most people would have just given up and moved on.Leo didn't. He found his way to Signature Brandworks and ordered a copy directly from me instead. That alone means a lot. Leo's been with the podcast and the site for a long time, and knowing he cared enough to track down the book rather than let a broken checkout page stop him is exactly the kind of support that keeps this whole project going.But what really got me was what he said after he read it.Leo described the book as “pure gold” — not just for drummers, and not just for musical theater players, but for any working musician taking on all kinds of gigs. That phrase has been stuck in my head ever since, because it's exactly what I set out to make. This was never meant to be just a drumming book. It's a career guide — contracts, negotiating with producers, breaking into a market, understanding the business side most of us were never taught. If you're a professional musician of any kind, that's information you need.Leo put it better than I could, so I'll let him say it in his own words:“This is pure gold for anyone who's interested, especially in musical theater, but it applies to any kind of musician doing all sorts of gigs. Beyond our instrument — we get really focused on the instrument — but looking up content and resources that are important for a professional musician's training... financial education, negotiation, understanding contracts, and the laws that apply to musicians. I think all of that is important for us to become better professionals and to improve the market for everyone too.”Coming from someone who's spent 23 years developing his own teaching method, that's not a compliment I take lightly.Who is Leo?Leo Bandeira is a Brazilian drummer, author, and educator — and honestly, someone every drummer reading this should be following. He's the author of Teoria Musical para Bateria (Music Theory for Drums), the accompanying Livros de Exercícios volumes 1–3, and Leitura à Primeira Vista (Sight Reading). He also teaches A Bateria no Teatro Musical — Drums in Musical Theater — so when a guy who spends his career teaching this stuff calls my book pure gold, that means a lot to me.His beginner-level video course builds directly on those books: over 400 exercises covering reading, writing, coordination, orchestration, and rhythmic dictation, all developed over two decades of teaching drummers how to actually read and understand music, not just play by feel. If you're a drummer looking to get more literate on your instrument, his material is worth your time.Follow Leo here: instagram.com/leobandeiramusicoLeo's Full Review (translated from Portuguese)I wanted to share it in full, exactly as he gave it, rather than just pulling the one line:Guys, I want to share with you a book I just finished reading, and it's amazing. Clayton is a Broadway drummer with a ton of experience. He has a podcast where he interviews Broadway musicians, so he really lays out how the industry works over there, you know? Which is basically the top of the musical theater world.So, in this book, he explains exactly how everything works over there: contracts with producers, how negotiations happen, how you break into the market. He talks about networking — honestly, he covers so many topics. This is pure gold for anyone who's interested, especially in musical theater, but it applies to any kind of musician doing all sorts of gigs, you know?Yeah, it's really important information that every professional musician should have access to.So folks, I'm leaving his Instagram here so you can find his materials. I think being a good professional musician also means doing your research. Beyond our instrument — we get really focused on the instrument — but looking up content and resources that are important for a professional musician's training, you know?Financial education, negotiation, understanding contracts, and the laws that apply to musicians. I think all of that is important for us to become better professionals and to improve the market for everyone too. Alright? So here's the golden tip. Follow him over there, and look for the book. Thanks!And if you've been on the fence about the book like Leo was — go grab a copy on Amazon. Or get a copy from me here at SignatureBrandworks.com. Also, Leo, if you're reading this: I'm taking a lesson from you the day I finally make it to Brazil, no excuses.I'm proud of this one, and it means the world that it's resonating with musicians outside the Broadway pit too.Clayton Craddock is the founder of Broadway Drumming 101.His Broadway and off-Broadway theater credits include Cats: The Jellicle Ball, Ain't Too Proud – The Life and Times of The Temptations, Lady Day at Emerson's Bar and Grill, Memphis, Altar Boyz, and tick, tick...

Michael Vorenberg discusses how the government used military tribunals to try Lincoln's conspirators and Andersonville commandant Henry Wirz, arguing a state of war still existed.

The Invitation to Educate a Young Tyrant. Guest Author: Professor James Romm. Following the elder tyrant's death, Dion invited Plato back to tutor Dionysius the Younger. Dion hoped to transform the immature ruler into an enlightened monarch. Plato's arrival was celebrated, yet he faced a court culture of "wilding" and 90-day parties. Syracuse was then an expansionist power with a massive military. Tension rose when Dionysius intercepted Dion's letter to Carthaginian diplomats, interpreting it as betrayal. Dionysius banished Dion but kept Plato as a hostage under house arrest. Eventually, the Pythagorean leader Archytas negotiated Plato's release and return to Greece. 3

Congratulations to Danielle and Eoin from In the City on the birth of their son, Aidan. Sending them well wishes! B has a very funny story about how some juicy tea came together that didn't fully make sense...at first. But a public acknowledgement from a Summer House cast member put all the pieces together and made us laugh out loud. The Real Housewives of Rhode Island reunion part 1 aired this week - we have lots and lots of thoughts. We have a theory about what Rosie and Kelsey might really be fighting about. And while we didn't recognize her in the reunion, we have thoughts on where we'd like to see Rulla go next. Miami is still on pause but there's a lot happening down there. And unfortunately, our sad tea about Ladies of London was confirmed today. This was one we were really hoping wasn't true. And maybe the Southern Charm stars should try to watch what they say on planes? Or should we make Airplane Tea a regular feature? We have some for you. And B knows who owns Walmart, LOL......   This week's episode of Cocktails and Gossip is brought to you by our sponsors: -Nutrafol: Get $10 off your first month's subscription and free shipping when you visit Nutrafol.com and enter promo code GOSSIP at checkout. -Caraway: Visit Carawayhome.com/GOSSIP to take an additional 10% off your next purchase or use code GOSSIP at checkout.

Join Jim and Greg for the Friday 3 Martini Lunch as they dig into the U.S. Supreme Court once again protecting our Second Amendment, the left calling for a $25 per hour minimum wage, Democrats frustrated the World Cup has not been a disaster, and remembering respected pollster Glen Bolger.First, they applaud the Supreme Court for striking down a Hawaii law that required residents to get permission from stores and other public places before they were allowed to carry guns there. Despite the 6-3 decision, Jim expects Democrats to push very similar legislation again, only to have it smacked down at the Supreme Court again.Next, they groan as the left keeps pushing a much higher minimum wage as a solution to the rising cost of living, despite all evidence to the contrary. Connecticut Sen. Chris Murphy is pushing a nationwide minimum wage of $25 per hour. Jim and Greg explain how this will only make things more expensive and result in more people losing their minimum wage jobs.Then, they're disgusted by a Politico story explaining how many Democrats were hoping the World Cup would be a logistical disaster so they could blame President Trump. So far, it's going well, and Democrats aren't very happy about it. Who thinks like this?Finally, they pay tribute to GOP pollster Glen Bolger, who passed away Thursday at the age of 63. Jim remembers Bolger as a very good pollster and an even better man.Please visit our great sponsors:AG1Visit https://DrinkAG1.com/3ML Get a FREE Morning Person Hat and a FREE AG1 Flavor Sampler in your Welcome Kit with your first AG1 subscription. IncogniTake control of your digital footprint today.  Use code 3ML at the link below and get 60% off an annual plan: https://incogni.com/3MLQuoMoney is on the line.

High conflict relationships can leave you grieving something most people don't recognize as a real loss — not just the person, but the relationship you always hoped you could have. When someone in your life consistently cannot offer the empathy, accountability, or closeness you need, the question stops being "how do I fix this?" and starts being "how do I accept what this actually is?"Bill Eddy, LCSW, JD, and Megan Hunter, MBA, co-founders of the High Conflict Institute in Scottsdale, Arizona, walk through the five stages of grief as they apply to high conflict relationships, why high conflict people get stuck in anger while those around them keep cycling, and how to make the practical decision between limited contact and no contact. They cover what to do with guilt and shame when pulling back, why sharing your feelings with a high conflict person usually backfires, and the self-affirmation strategies that interrupt the shame spiral.It's All Your Fault is produced by TruStory FM.Full Show Notes & ResourcesSubmit Questions | Bookstore | WebsiteWatch this episode on YouTubeImportant Notice: Our discussions focus on behavioral patterns rather than diagnoses.

The sermon, drawn from Ezra 6, unfolds the triumphant completion of the Second Temple in Jerusalem, revealing God's sovereign faithfulness in fulfilling His promises despite decades of delay and opposition. Central to the message is the divine orchestration of history, as King Darius not only confirms Cyrus's original decree but amplifies it by commanding local officials to fund the temple's reconstruction and provide daily sacrifices, thereby turning enemies into instruments of divine provision. The narrative emphasizes that God's people, though initially fearful and uncertain, are sustained by His grace, and their obedience is met with supernatural blessing—material, spiritual, and political—demonstrating that true prosperity flows from faithfulness, not human effort. The shift from Aramaic to Hebrew in the text underscores a theological distinction: while God's sovereignty and blessings extend universally to those who honor His people, the deepest spiritual realities—such as the Passover and the Lord's Supper—belong exclusively to those who trust in Christ as the ultimate Passover Lamb. Ultimately, the sermon calls believers to live in the hope of Christ's victory over death, trusting that God's provision and protection are far greater than any earthly fear, and that the future glory of eternal fellowship with God surpasses all present trials.

Following the death of the Elder in 367 BCE, Dion invited Plato back to tutor the immature Dionysius the Younger. James Romm explains that Dion hoped Plato could transform the new ruler into an enlightened, constitutional monarch rather than a tyrant. Despite Plato's efforts to reform the court's lifestyle, the regime remained characterized by 90-day drinking parties and excessive wealth. The relationship soured when Dionysius intercepted a letter Dion sent to Carthaginian diplomats, viewing it as betrayal. Consequently, Dion was banished, and Plato was held under house arrest until being rescued by the philosopher-leader Archytas. (3/8)1245 THE ACADEMY

My Mom Died, and I Didn't Get to See Her in Peace: Grief, Reiki, Dowsing, and the Goodbye I Hoped Would Come DifferentlyIn this deeply personal episode, I share about the final days of my mom, Lorraine, who passed away on April 19, 2026, after a fast decline that only began some months earlier.This is not an episode about death being perfectly peaceful or spiritually beautiful in the way we sometimes hope it will be. This is a reflection on what happens when dying is difficult to witness, when dying changes the way someone can communicate, and when the goodbye we long for does not come in the form we imagined.In this episode, I share my experience and what helped me understand during and afterward. Some of this, I wish someone had told me about before I went into this experience. I had no idea what active dying could be like for someone. And it was shocking at first yet I did reach for many tools through this experience and still do. My mom was funny, witty, smart, creative, and loved by many. She was also someone who carried deep emotional pain, anxiety, and patterns that shaped our family life. As a child, I learned early how much unhealed pain can affect a home, a nervous system, and a relationship. A big part of my own healing has been learning tools, healthy boundaries, nervous system regulation, meditation, Reiki, Dowsing Energy practices, and how to love someone without disappearing inside their pain.I hoped my mom would find peace before she died. I hoped she would experience relief after such a difficult life. But one of the hardest truths I had to sit with is that we cannot give someone healing, tools, or peace if they are not available to receive them. I didn't realize how much I hoped my Mom would find some peace before she passed until I was faced with the devastating reality that it wouldn't occur for her. It was heartbreaking to witness such pain right til the end. No one should have to endure a life of so much pain with scraps of joy and little peace. I offered Reiki to my mom while she was alive, and again after she passed. The Reiki after her death felt very different: peaceful, quiet, and clear. My Guides helped me understand that after the body released, the distress of the nervous system was no longer in the way. Her Soul was easier to feel because the body was no longer transmitting pain, confusion, or fear.This episode is for anyone who has witnessed a difficult death, anyone who did not get the goodbye they hoped for or the peace they wanted for a love one and anyone trying to hold both the human grief and the deeper Soul truth at the same time.In this episode, I reflect on:

In this sermon, we confront the "surprise" no one wants: the devastating gap between the miracle we prayed for and the reality of grief. Amidst the heartbreak of losing a beloved child, we set aside the party to sit in the honest, defiant landscape of Psalm 23. We discover a God who doesn't offer trite explanations but a relentless, pursuing presence—a love that chases us even into the darkest valleys. When words fail, we find our way forward by simply showing up and mirroring the stubborn, enduring mercy that refuses to let us go.

Bitcoin dropped under $69K even as the SEC and CFTC create more clarity for crypto, and agentic commerce looks like it will reshape the sector. --- Thank you to our sponsor, MultiChain Advisors --- Bitcoin dropped under $69K after the Fed, ECB, and Bank of England all held rates steady this week, while Australia hiked. Kaiko's Laurens Fraussen joins to explain what's actually happening beneath the surface, from collapsing liquidity to a quiet geographic shift in who's buying.

Riad Kassis joins Mark Labberton from Beirut as airstrikes continue, 700,000 people have been displaced across Lebanon, and children's toys are visible in the rubble. He leads Langham Partnership and has spent decades serving the church across one of the world's most contested regions. He names the spiritual danger of sanctifying power with religious narrative while insisting peace cannot be forced by violence. "Peace does not come by power. It comes by genuine love and concern. It comes when you invest in the education of new generations." In this episode, Kassis reflects on war, displacement, pastoral witness, and hope in God's sovereignty from the middle of Lebanon's crisis. Together they discuss the civilian toll of the war, how religious fundamentalism operates across traditions, the Psalms and Habakkuk as tools for lament, and what American Christians can actually do. Together they ask what it means for the church to hold protest and hope together when cycles of war feel endless and religiously justified. Episode Highlights "It is not an operation. It is a war on Lebanon." "When power—whether political, military, financial, or technological—is sanctified by religious narratives that justify everything, that is what really bothers me." "No one cures and destroys with more passion than someone who believes that God is on their side." "When I think that these 85 children were killed mainly by American ammunition and weapons, I cannot comprehend this—even as a Christian and as a theologian." "Peace does not come by power. It comes by genuine love and concern. It comes when you invest in the education of new generations." About Riad Kassis Riad Kassis is a Langham Scholar from Lebanon and is deeply committed to global theological education.

Riad obtained his Bachelor of Arts in Economics in Damascus, Syria. He went on to obtain his Master of Divinity from Alliance Biblical Seminary, Manila, Philippines and Master of Theology from Regent College, Canada.

It is a war on Lebanon." 150 airstrikes in 24 hours; 550+ killed, 1,500+ injured, including 85 children 700,000 displaced; 200,000 children; many still on the streets of Beirut Schoolbooks and children's toys found in the rubble Christian village of Alma ordered to evacuate; mayor on television in tears A Catholic priest who stayed to help an injured family was killed in a second strike His wife Izdihar's center for Syrian refugee women and girls shut down; staff now distributing meals, mattresses, medical care in shelters Hoped the war could be avoided—feared it could not "When power—political, military, technological—is sanctified by religious narratives that justify everything, that is what really bothers me." Iranian author Shiha Dejani, herself a survivor of the Iranian regime: if your vision of liberation comes through destroying innocent lives, it is not freedom you are after Grew up admiring America as a beacon of democracy and discovery; that view has changed "When I think these 85 children were killed mainly by American ammunition, I cannot comprehend this—even as a Christian and as a theologian." "No one cures and destroys with more passion than someone who believes that God is on their side." Walter Wink: the dominant religion on the planet is not Christianity, Islam, or Judaism—it is the pervasive faith in violence Preaching Habakkuk two days before this conversation; the cry "how long, O Lord?" as pastoral anchor Psalms of disorientation as communal tools for protest, lament, and stubborn hope Lent and Ramadan overlapping: identifying suffering with Christ's suffering; "after Friday, we will experience an amazing Sunday" 2,000 years of Arab Christian presence in this region—not just survival, but witness and contribution "Peace does not come by power. It comes by genuine love and concern. It comes when you invest in the education of new generations." Asks for prayer for the war's end, for political wisdom, for his canceled flight—he is trying to reach his first grandson's dedication Labberton closes in prayer: for restraint of ego-driven leaders, for human dignity, for a peace that is both merciful and just #ConversingWithMarkLabberton #RiadKassis #Lebanon #MiddleEast #Peacebuilding #ChristianWitness #Theology #Habakkuk #LanghamPartnership #WarAndFaith Production Credits Conversing is produced and distributed in partnership with Comment Magazine and Fuller Seminary.

Why didn't Valentine's Day feel the way you hoped… even though your partner is actually a good person? In this episode of the Be That Healing Girl Podcast, I'm breaking down the real reason you felt disappointed after Valentine's Day, a weekend together, a date, or quality time — and why it triggered doubt, overthinking, and questioning the relationship. This conversation is for high-achieving, self-aware women who know their partner is loving and consistent… but still spiral afterward wondering: “Are we a good fit?” “Am I asking for too much?” “Should I feel more excited than this?” If you've ever replayed moments, searched for evidence of a lack of effort, or felt emotionally distant after something that was supposed to feel romantic — this episode will hit. Because here's the truth: Disappointment doesn't always mean the relationship is wrong. Sometimes it reveals the pattern underneath anxious attachment, overthinking, and unmet expectations. In this episode, we unpack: Why Valentine's Day, vacations, and “quality time” can trigger relationship anxiety The expectation vs. reality trap that fuels overthinking How internal comparison (social media, other couples) creates dissatisfaction Why your brain searches for proof they “didn't show up enough” The difference between asking for too much vs. settling for too little How anxious attachment and avoidant tendencies can both show up after closeness Why you may be questioning the relationship instead of your internal narrative The hidden pattern: confusing intensity for spark and chaos for love I also share a personal behind-the-scenes moment from my own relationship with Craig — and how learning to release control and let myself be surprised changed our connection. If you're exhausted from spending mental energy spiraling about whether your partner is “the one,” this episode will help you zoom out, regulate, and reconnect. You're not broken. You're not dramatic. You're likely running a pattern that can be unlearned. And that's exactly what we work on here.
