Podcasts about Human life

Preaching from Exodus 20:13, Pastor Jared Richard opens the sixth commandment — "You shall not murder" — and immediately pushes past the comfortable assumption that most of us are safe from its conviction. While many may not have committed physical murder, Pastor Jared argues that we live in a culture that has grown increasingly comfortable with the destruction of human life. From the rapid legalization of medically assisted suicide to abortion, to the casual glorification of violence in entertainment, we have built a culture of death that stands in direct opposition to God's heart. The commandment, rightly understood, is not merely a prohibition against killing — it is a call to value every human life as God values it, because life is His gift, human beings bear His image, and every person exists to worship Him. Pastor Jared then turns to the heart of the matter, following Jesus' teaching in Matthew 5:21-24, where Christ makes clear that murderous anger, contempt, and hatred toward a neighbor carry the same moral weight before God as the physical act of murder. This is what John Calvin called "murder of the heart," and by this standard, none of us escape the conviction of the sixth commandment. Yet the sermon does not end in condemnation — it ends in the Gospel. Jesus, the most innocent life ever taken, was murdered unjustly so that murderers of every kind — actual and of the heart — could be forgiven and set free. Pastor Jared calls the church to rest in that forgiveness, to be reconciled to one another, and to rise up as a countercultural people who champion the gift of human life in a world desperate for it.

Sarah, Ken, and Evan take a look at the Vatican's new statements about AI, a disturbing MAID case coming out of Canada, an article that asks if it was worth it to spend $200 million on one soldier, and whether more people in Europe die from a lack of air conditioning than Americans do from guns. 

In this episode, “The Spiritual Importance of a Human Life,” we explore why human birth is considered so sacred within the yoga tradition. Human life holds a unique place in creation because it gives us the capacity for self-awareness, moral choice, spiritual discipline, and direct realization of the Divine. We carry instinctual forces within us, yet we also have the ability to refine the mind, awaken the heart, and consciously participate in the evolution of the soul. This episode reflects on the rare opportunity of human incarnation, the responsibility that comes with spiritual practice, and how Kriya Yoga helps us make use of this life for awakening, liberation, and a deeper relationship with Spirit. -

Western civilization did not invent slavery — it ended it. Western civilization didn't harm countries through colonialism, it helped them. These are hard truths to swallow but they are true. So, why do so many people hate civilization? Let's define civilization, shall we? Let's look at the chief characteristics that a civilization must possess. We shall list them in this episode. Why are Israel and America singled out for hatred and not Sweden, France, and Germany? Why Reform Judaism is more socially acceptable. Any thug, either urban or international, is advantaged by willingness to use violence. In a robust civilized landscape, thugs lose their advantage — naturally, they hate civilization.

In this compelling fourth lecture of the series, Acharya das reframes well-being through the lens of timeless wisdom, drawing from sources like the Bhagavad Gita to reveal a powerful three-dimensional model: body, mind, and the often-overlooked spiritual self. With precision and clarity, the talk exposes a universal truth—no amount of success, relationships, or material gain can resolve the subtle but persistent sense of emptiness that many experience. This is not a personal failure or circumstantial issue; it is a signal pointing toward something deeper.The Bhagavad- gītā verse quoted in this talk:In this world, there is nothing so sublime and pure as transcendental knowledge. Such knowledge is the mature fruit of all mysticism. And one who has achieved this enjoys the self within himself in due course of time. - Bhagavad-gītā 4.38Such a liberated person is not attracted to material sense pleasure or external objects but is always in trance, enjoying the pleasure within. In this way the self-realized person enjoys unlimited happiness, for he concentrates on the Supreme. - Bhagavad-gītā 5.21One whose happiness is within, who is active within, who rejoices within and is illumined within, is actually the perfect mystic. He is liberated in the Supreme, and ultimately he attains the Supreme. - Bhagavad-gītā 5.24Chapters00:00:00 Introduction and Three-Dimensional Well-being Paradigm ‎ 00:02:22 The Universal Experience of Emptiness and Advertising Manipulation ‎ 00:04:38 Personal Counseling Example: Fear of Being Alone ‎ 00:06:44 Behavioral Patterns of Avoiding Emptiness ‎ 00:08:38 Life Clutter and Hidden Loneliness‎ 00:11:19 Emptiness as Spiritual Protection and Indication ‎ 00:13:18 Material Wealth and Relationship Status Don't Eliminate Emptiness ‎ 00:15:01 The Inadequacy of the Material World ‎ 00:16:37 A Woman's Honest Blog About Emptiness ‎ 00:23:47 Attraction to Beauty, Happiness, and Love ‎ 00:27:00 The Ice Cream Sundae Metaphor ‎ 00:28:52 Spiritual Malnourishment and the Fish Out of Water Metaphor ‎ 00:30:31 The Inward Journey and Purpose of Human Life ‎ 00:33:07 Bhagavad Gita Verses on Transcendental Knowledge ‎ 00:35:56 Liberation Through Spiritual Understanding ‎ 00:37:59 The Self-Realized Person's Experience ‎ 00:39:30 The Perfect Mystic and Spiritual Attainment ‎ 00:41:08 Two Simple Practices: Yoga Wisdom and Meditation ‎ 00:42:16 Spiritual Sound and Its Purifying Effects ‎ 00:44:15 The Signal of Inner Longing ‎ 00:45:41 The Futility of Material Investment ‎ 00:46:55 Invitation to Kirtan Practice ‎

Last week we started our series on Genesis as it revealed to us the meaning of the universe: God made everything to share with us his glorious goodness. This week we return to Genesis 1, to see how God shows his goodness in US OURSELVES, human beings God made his own likeness. What does it mean to be made in God’s image? What does it mean for the purpose of your life? How does that change the way we see other people around us?

Soviet Brutality and the Miscalculations of the 2022 InvasionRussian military strategy is characterized by a historical disregard for human life, a trait visible from Stalin's brutal 1932 letters to modern-day missile strikes on civilians. Stalin viewed Ukraine as a "caricature of a parliament" that needed to be broken; Putin holds a similar cynical view. In 2022, Putin's isolation and lack of expert advice led him to believe the invasion would be a brief "policing operation" rather than a war. He expected a parade, sending riot police in dress uniforms, because he fundamentally refused to recognize Ukraine as a real, independent state capable of resisting. Guest: Professor Eugene Finkel.

What does it mean to be poor in spirit—and why is it the pivot of human life and history? In this episode of Faith & Family Bible Study, Steve Wood explains how the Beatitudes describe the inner life of Christ formed in the believer, not a checklist of steps. Focusing on the first Beatitude, Steve traces the root of human suffering to pride in Genesis, connects it to modern moral relativism, marriage struggles, and end-times warnings, and shows why humility before God is essential today. A timely call to dethrone the self and live fully united to Christ. For more resources, visit us online at www.BibleforCatholics.com.

In this podcast episode, Guy talked with Vinney, a self-described lightworker, about his near-death experience and how it changed his life. Vinney recounted collapsing after taking an extremely concentrated muscle-recovery supplement, being pronounced dead, and then revived when a rookie medic felt a premonition and broke protocol to resuscitate him. He described an out-of-body perspective, a fearful realization during transfer to the hospital, a rapid life review, and meeting a guide named Drake who led him toward "home" by raising his love energy during a three-day coma.  Vinney shared 10 principles he said he learned, including authenticity, Earth as a classroom not a courtroom, love as the strongest force, managing technology, releasing prejudice, and recognizing all creation as extensions of the creator. He said he returned after his brother's prayer, later found confirmation of his guide's identity through family history, and now taught and coached others through Living God's Light and his book The Light After Death. About Vinney: Vincent Todd "Vinney" Tolman was born in Arlington, Texas, and has since traveled  around the world, living in both Cambodia and Thailand. He loves animals, meditating, and spending time in nature. His greatest priorities are his relationship with his Creator, his family, and the people he meets. He currently lives in Las Vegas, Nevada, with his wife, Andrea, and their two children. At the age of 25, Vincent Tolman was found dead in the bathroom of a small restaurant. He had been dead for over half an hour. He was later revived out of a bodybag, and he awoke 3 days later from a coma. He will share his beautiful experiences and what he learned about life while he was gone.  Vinney's experience has gifted him with an increased spiritual awareness and a keen "spiritual ear" for advice and insight from God and the guides that God has assigned to assist us. He has also mastered valuable tools to help you create a powerful personal transformation. People typically seek out Vinney when they need to find solutions to life problems, or when they are ready to grow and expand their life in powerful ways. Many clients have discovered that working with Vinney on a regular basis helps them to magnify their life beyond their expectations.

“Medieval psychology” might sound nearly a millennium out of date, irrelevant to modern science, with its reassurances of cognitive data and peer-reviewed studies. But we often say that Shakespeare's 400-year old plays communicate the human condition, and that wouldn't be possible if the Bard didn't have a deep understanding of what makes our minds tick. Rewind the clock just 200 years further and you'll find, with the help of a Middle English glossary, that the autobiographical writings of Julian of Norwich and Margery Kempe—not to mention Chaucer—seem achingly familiar in their yearning, their humor, and their determination. We're not so different, mentally, from our forebears, and beyond literature, medieval writings on morality and psychology have a lot to offer us. But since cracking open a vellum manuscript to read cramped Latin text is beyond most of us, historian Peter Jones can be our guide in his new book, Self-Help from the Middle Ages. And the starting point for much medieval guidance on living a better life is quite familiar: the Seven Deadly Sins, which were less a catalog of forbidden behaviors than a path to self-knowledge. Just ask Dante.

We hope to see you there! How much of psychology is built on a statistical illusion? What happens when we mistake population averages for truths about individual lives? Can a person ever really be understood through traits measured at a few isolated moments? Why do simplified categories feel so authoritative even when they fail to capture lived experience? What does it mean for a science of mind to ignore time, context, and development? How much of what we call personality is just a byproduct of how we choose to measure people? If most of what matters is situational, what kind of science would we need instead? Why are average-based explanations so intuitively appealing even when they may mislead us? What gets lost when human beings are treated as snapshots rather than processes? Could clearer thinking begin by questioning the categories we rely on most? Dr. Steven C.

Scientific evidence is increasingly supporting the theory that the Earth is alive and replete with intelligence. In fact, the wild diversity of earthly organisms exhibits the characteristics that human beings attribute to personhood. How is it then, by the law, that a corporation is a person, but nature is not? What if we expand the anthropocentric boundaries of our systems of laws, rights and responsibilities to encompass ALL living beings? How would this new legal story affect our relationship with our vast other-than-human Earth family? In this episode, we imagine a planet with rights for all, with visionary lawyer César Rodríguez-Garavito. This is an episode of Nature's Genius, a Bioneers podcast series exploring how the sentient symphony of life holds the solutions we need to balance human civilization with living systems. Visit the series page to learn more.

Swamiji narrates the stories of Priyavrat and King Bharat, illustrating the central truth that the only purpose of human life is God-realization.  Priyavrat, though initially detached, was persuaded to rule the kingdom. Even while fulfilling worldly duties, he remained inwardly devoted, showing that spiritual pursuit can continue amidst responsibilities.  King Bharat, despite great devotion, became attached to a deer in his later years. This attachment led him to take birth again, teaching that even subtle worldly ties can obstruct liberation.  Swamiji emphasizes that these stories reveal the essence of Dharma: worldly duties and achievements are temporary, but Bhakti and surrender to God alone grant ultimate fulfillment and liberation.  About Swami Mukundananda:    Swami Mukundananda is a renowned spiritual leader, Vedic scholar, Bhakti saint, best‑selling author, and an international authority on the subject of mind management. He is the founder of the unique yogic system called JKYog. Swamiji holds distinguished degrees in Engineering and Management from IIT and IIM. Having taken the renounced order of life (sanyas), he is the senior disciple of Jagadguru Shree Kripaluji Maharaj, and has been sharing Vedic wisdom across the globe for decades.

What does it mean to be human, and why does that question matter so deeply in today's debates about abortion, bioethics, and personhood? In this episode of Native Exiles, Steve and Wyatt engage one of the most urgent moral and theological issues of our time: the sanctity of human life. Rather than beginning with political arguments or cultural talking points, they ground the conversation in the biblical vision of humanity as created in the image of God and known by Him from the very beginning. In the first half of the episode, Steve and Wyatt trace the theological foundations for the value of human life, from Genesis to the psalms and into the New Testament. Steve and Wyatt show how Scripture consistently affirms the dignity, worth, and moral significance of every human person, including the unborn. In the second half, the conversation turns to contemporary challenges, including abortion, medical technology, and shifting cultural definitions of life and autonomy. The discussion also addresses how the church can speak clearly and compassionately—upholding the sanctity of life while embodying grace, mercy, and hope for those touched by loss, fear, or difficult decisions. Also check out the link to the position papers which includes the paper on the Sanctity of Human Life. Native Exiles is a podcast from Alderwood Community Church, where we talk about following Jesus in the tension of being in the world but not of it.

Daily news media, whether on television or social media, is often troubling and unsettling, particularly because the media seems to focus excessively on the tragic and even dehumanizing stories of conflict, violence, or war. Why not take a moment to consider some good news?  Life is a gift. Every human person is a masterpiece of God's creative love, endowed—as our Declaration of Independence states, with "certain inalienable rights" that include "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness".   May we commit ourselves to public witness to these truths, respecting the gift of our own life and the lives of others. In the eyes of God, all possess an infinite dignity as Temples of the Holy Spirit.  And may we come together to ensure the sanctity of life is defended, protected, and celebrated—always. 

A shooting in Minneapolis, a shooting in Portland, and over 1,000 protests planned across the United States. But very little context or rational analysis. Dozens to hundreds of people are shot and killed or injured in the two previous cities alone every year, and yet those deaths usually go unnoticed. Every side tries to spin the story to their preference while other stories, such as mass protests in Iran conveniently following calls for regime change, also go unnoticed. The optics and framing give people on both sides purpose with no requirement to think or act responsibly. It's just one battle after another. *The is the FREE archive, which includes advertisements.

The Historical Roots of Russian Brutality and Putin's Ideological Driver. Professor Eugene Finkel explains that the pervasive cruelty in Russian forces stems from a historical willingness to use extreme violence, where human life is cheap, evident from Stalin's cynical fears of losing Ukraine to modern conflicts. Russians are willing to make Ukraine a desert to secure control, employing methods consistent with their actions in Chechnya and Syria. In 2022, Putin, trapped in isolation with like-minded nationalists, believed Ukrainians would not fight back. His motivation was the fundamental belief that Ukraine is not a real state and must not defy Russia by choosing its own path. Guest: Professor Eugene Finkel.

We begin exploring the fifth commandment: “you shall not kill”. The Catechism reminds us that human life is sacred, and we must not take the life of another innocent human. In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus takes this commandment even further as he calls us to avoid anger, hatred, and vengeance in addition to loving our enemies. By forgiving and extending to others the same love and mercy we are willing to extend to ourselves, we are respecting the dignity of that person. Today's readings are Catechism paragraphs 2258-2262. This episode has been found to be in conformity with the Catechism by the Institute on the Catechism, under the Subcommittee on the Catechism, USCCB.
