What if the world could see your faith lived out—unfiltered and unhidden? In Living in Glass Houses, Pastor Tyler Lynde explores Nehemiah 11 and the powerful call for believers to live lives of visible holiness.As Jerusalem's walls were rebuilt, the city still needed to be filled with people willing to live there. While the leaders led the way, others had to be chosen by lot to repopulate the holy city. Tyler unpacks why so many hesitated: living in Jerusalem meant living under constant watch. It was a city set apart, and living there came with heightened expectations. The parallels to modern Christian life are striking—we too are called to live as a “city on a hill,” with our lives pointing others to God.Holiness is not optional for the believer—it's our identity. But it doesn't begin with behavior; it begins with God. Tyler points to Isaiah's vision in chapter 6, where the prophet encounters God's holiness and is immediately undone. That same holiness still transforms today. As Scripture teaches, everything God is and does is utterly holy—and those who belong to Him are called to reflect that.Drawing from 1 Timothy 4:12, Tyler breaks down five areas where holiness shows up: speech, conduct, love, faith, and purity. Holiness isn't just about avoiding sin—it's about becoming like Christ in every aspect of our lives.But here's the freedom: we don't have to manufacture holiness ourselves. Tyler reminds us that Jesus, the only one to live a perfectly holy life, offers His holiness to us through the cross. And through the Holy Spirit, we're empowered to live in a way that's not just outwardly different, but inwardly transformed. Romans 8 says the same Spirit that raised Christ now lives in us—that's the power we rely on.Living transparently, with nothing to hide, isn't about performance—it's about reflection. When we live holy lives, others get a glimpse of Jesus. And in a world filled with pretense, that kind of authenticity is deeply compelling.The question is: will we embrace our “glass house”? Will we accept the call to holiness, not as a burden but as an opportunity to shine with the light of Christ?We are Trinity Community Church in Knoxville, Tennessee.Subscribe to our Podcast & YouTube channel to find past sermons, classes, interviews, and more!Find us on Facebook & Instagram
Philip Gulley, Peterson, and Sweet Miche share their personal journeys of unlearning traditional theological concepts and reflect on what makes Quakerism a meaningful path to a more authentic faith. Gulley highlights fear as a significant motivator for religious beliefs and a tool for control and how the current political moment is a masterfully evil manipulation of human fears. Gulley also offers his perspective on the continued usefulness of organized religion, emphasizing the importance of bringing people together, respecting personal autonomy, and aligning its social efforts with the ethos of Jesus and radical love. Philip Gulley is a Quaker pastor, writer, and speaker from Danville, Indiana. Gulley has written 22 books, including the Harmony series recounting life in the eccentric Quaker community of Harmony, Indiana, and the best-selling Porch Talk essay series. Gulley's memoir, I Love You, Miss Huddleston: And Other Inappropriate Longings of My Indiana Childhood, was a finalist for the Thurber Prize for American Hor. In addition, Gulley, with co-author James Mulholland, shared their progressive spirituality in the books If Grace Is True and If God Is Love, followed by Gulley's books If the Church Were Christian and The Evolution of Faith. In Living the Quaker Way: Timeless Wisdom For a Better Life Today, Gulley offers the opportunity to participate in a world where the values of the Quaker way bring equity, peace, healing, and hope. In his most recently published non-fiction work, Unlearning God: How Unbelieving Helped Me Believe, Gulley describes the process of spiritual growth, especially the re-interpretation of the earliest principles we learned about God. Resources Here are some resources for friends in the process of unlearning and seeking spiritual growth: Therapy Therapy and spiritual growth can be deeply complementary. While therapy doesn't typically provide spiritual direction, it creates fertile ground for unlearning and spiritual development. You can use online therapist directories to find a therapist by location, insurance, specialty, cost, and more at Psychology Today, TherapyDen, or Open Path Psychotherapy Collective.

Walt Whitman is a central figure in American poetry, often called the "Bard of Democracy." Whitman revolutionized poetry with his use of free verse and expansive lines. His lifelong work, Leaves of Grass, celebrates the individual, democracy, nature, the body, spirituality, and the interconnectedness of all life, aiming to capture the diverse spirit of America. Mary Oliver is an American poet who focuses on the natural world, particularly the landscapes of New England.

Elaine Pagels is a renowned historian of religion, particularly noted for her scholarship on early Christianity and Gnosticism. Her groundbreaking book, The Gnostic Gospels, brought non-canonical early Christian texts to wider attention, revealing the diversity of early Christian thought and exploring how political and social contexts shaped religious history and scripture. LGBTQ+ film festivals are events dedicated to showcasing films by, for, or about queer individuals and communities. They serve as vital platforms for representation, providing visibility for filmmakers and stories often marginalized in mainstream media. These festivals (like Frameline, Outfest, NewFest, and countless others globally) are also important spaces for community building and celebrating queer culture.

“When we reconstruct [in a patient] a possible lacking object or role or function, we see that if the analyst himself has been able and the patient allowing him to be able to enter to a deep level the objective reality of the internal world of the patient, it can happen that some new function or position can be achieved. This is something that could be rare but it happens. This is one more reason for not blaming the length of some analytic treatments, because time is needed for entering that internal deep area where the analytic relation can create something new. Transformation is also one of the words that in our analytic world became more and more common and utilized because we have achieved the certainty that there can be a transformation. Not only an understanding or a clarification, but also a transformation of the quality of the objective world and of the relation with it.” Episode Description: We begin by describing the differences in psychoanalytic approaches today as compared to past generations. This shift has occurred alongside changes in patients' concerns; currently, individuals are disproportionately preoccupied with how they perceive themselves through others' eyes, rather than grappling with internal conflicts related to guilt. Stefano posits that this increased narcissistic investment stems from alterations in family structures and premature disruptions in "the physiological fusionality" with the early maternal caretaker. We discuss how this sense of distrust in the availability and reliability of caretakers affects the manner in which one introduces a patient into analysis, as well as the broader cultural emphasis on superficial bodily care - what he terms the aperitif experience. We consider the fundamental importance of the depth of object relations in understanding sexual diversities. Stefano concludes by reading the final paragraph from his book, which acknowledges the invaluable lessons learned from his analyst. We reflect on the enduring presence within him of this profoundly personal connection.

Welcome to P.S. Blossom, powered by Rhia Ventures! “That awareness was a relief, but it was also a mourning period. It was an interesting time to be in that space of knowing that having a child was never going to happen for me.

In Living in Houses: A Personal History of English Domestic Architecture (Lund Humphries, 2022), Dr. Ruth Dalton presents a rich and rewarding history of houses in England through the stories of nine houses, dating from the 1600s to the 1980s, which have been inhabited by the author, an architect and academic. Chronologically ordered, the book covers rural vernacular houses from the 17th Century, Georgian and Victorian townhouses, villas and converted industrial buildings, Edwardian semis and 20th-century council housing and mixed tenure new developments. Firstly reflecting on the author's own experience of the house, each chapter then examines its historical context, before making a detailed analysis of the buildings design and layout, usefully illustrated with architectural drawings. Each chapter concludes with a useful discussion of lessons learnt from each house/historic period and compares them with contemporary houses which use similar materials, construction techniques or ideas. It not only details the evolution of the design and construction of houses through the centuries, but also includes concise but highly informative sections on the history of various types of construction and materiality, such as brickmaking and timber and steel frame; sections on conversion and adaptive reuse and what works and what doesn't; the evolution of styles; housing density; ownership; and the three broad waves of council/social housing etc. On reflecting on her own experiences, the author provides useful insights into how we relate to our homes, how they shape and affect us and the value and meaning of the home. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose forthcoming book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

In Living under the Evil Pope (Brill, 2019), Martina Mampieri presents the Hebrew Chronicle of Pope Paul IV, written in the second half of the sixteenth century by the Italian Jewish moneylender Benjamin Neḥemiah ben Elnathan (alias Guglielmo di Diodato) from Civitanova Marche. The text remained in manuscript for about four centuries until the Galician scholar Isaiah Sonne (1887-1960) published a Hebrew annotated edition of the chronicle in the 1930s. This remarkable source offers an account of the events of the Papal States during Paul IV's pontificate (1555-59). Making use of broad archival materials, Martina Mampieri reflects on the nature of this work, its historical background, and contents, providing a revised edition of the Hebrew text as well as the first unabridged English translation and commentary.

Hosted by: Dr. Marylynn Steckley Produced in collaboration with: Dr. Sonia Wesche, Victoria Marchand & Dr. Josh Steckley In this episode of Handpicked: Stories from the Field, we present an episode of the Indigenous Health and Food Systems Podcast called, “What are Indigenous Foods?” This podcast is hosted by Dr. Marylynn Steckley from Carleton University and is produced in collaboration with Dr. Sonia Wesche and Victoria Marchand from the University of Ottawa and Dr. Josh Steckley from the University of Toronto, Scarborough. The Indigenous Health and Food Systems Podcast aims to elevate Indigenous scholars' voices in Indigenous health, food sovereignty, and the social determinants of health. This particular episode focuses on what Indigenous foods are, and how there are many complex answers to that question because of the impacts of colonization.

Connect with Us: Email: Handpickedpodcast@WLU.ca Twitter/X: @Handpickedpodc Facebook: Handpicked Podcast Glossary of Terms Bannock “Bannock has meant many things to many Indigenous people throughout history, from pre-contact to the fur trade to present times. Before contact, Indigenous people made their own types of bannock and breads using camas bulbs, lichen, moss, cattails, roasted acorns and other plants and roots that were Indigenous to their traditional territories. After contact, Indigenous people began to use wheat and oat flour brought over by the Scottish during the fur trade. Flour was a non-Indigenous food but soon became the staple ingredient in bannock, and in the lives of Indigenous people.” https://martlet.ca/bannock-consuming-colonialism/ Colonialism “Colonialism has been defined as systems and practices that ‘seek to impose the will of one people on another and to use the resources of the imposed people for the benefit of the imposer' (Assante, 2006). Colonialism can operate within political, sociological, cultural values and systems of a place even after occupation by colonizers has ended. Colonization is defined as the act of political, physical and intellectual occupation of space by the (often forceful) displacement of Indigenous populations, and gives rise to settler-colonialism, colonial and neo-colonial relations, and coloniality.” https://www.yorku.ca/edu/unleading/systems-of-oppression/coloniality-and-settler-colonialism/ Dish with One Spoon Wampum Belt A symbol and reminder of covenants between the 5 Nations of the Haudenosaunee and the Dutch Government that guided later treaty-building and envisaged a relationship of reciprocity and sharing (that all people sharing a territory should leave enough for others), a promise that many Indigenous people feel was broken many times. https://futurecitiescanada.ca/portal/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/02/fcc-civic-indigenous-tool3-teaching-twodishonespoon.pdf Foodways A term to describe peoples' cultural, social and economic food practices, habits and desires (Alkon et al.) https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0016718513000936 Kanyen'kehà:ka Mohawk language. https://www.thecanadianencyclopedia.ca/en/article/mohawk Sky Woman The story of how Sky Woman fell from Skyworld to start life on Turtle Island, passed down and told by different Iroquoian-speaking people to describe the creation of human life on earth but also telling aspects of the Original Instructions guiding relations between humans and the natural world (Kimmerer, Braiding Sweetgrass). https://www.robinwallkimmerer.com/ Discussion Questions 1. In what ways might Indigenous people have a complicated relationship with bannock? Is ‘authenticity' a useful term for thinking about food heritage and tradition? 2. What does Kahente Horn-Miller mean by “food is relational”? 3. What visuals or emotions come up for you when hearing the story of ‘Sky Woman'? How does this story compare to other human origin stories- what are the implications for the way we think about food and food systems? 4. How do we make sense of, respect, and value traditional Indigenous diets and contemporary foodways today? How do we bring together understanding, and respect, and desire to keep alive traditions and ancestral foods in the contemporary post-colonial world? 5. How does the term ‘foodways' differ from ‘food systems' in communicating peoples' relationship with food?

"One of the changes that analysis provided me with was an awareness about how similar we all are, of course with a few differences. For me, an analyst is before all a person who had the opportunity to realize how we all human beings are very similar. We can familiarize with ourselves and with others thanks to these similarities and continuities. I would say like all my colleagues I asked for analysis when I was a young doctor in order to be helped. This is what is common to all analysts - analysts are people who are more aware and more experienced to ask for help than other people because they had the opportunity to be helped by a good treatment and to have the opportunity to integrate better.” Episode Description: Stefano begins by describing the characteristics of many analysts today who seek treatment through the lens of mistrust of dependency and mutuality. Instead, defensive styles lean towards pseudo-autonomy, entitlement, and suspiciousness. We discuss how dealing with initial resistances to the transference is both similar to and different from generations ago. We consider the theoretical advances in understanding earlier developmental struggles as well as our greater appreciation of the medium of countertransference. Stefano notes that today's longer training analyses are an important contribution to these more profound clinical skills. He discusses some of the environmental contributions to current narcissistic inclinations as well as the temptations to reduce the uniqueness of the analytic experience to the familiar and comfortable. He closes by sharing with us his personal story and the essential step for all of us to be able to "ask for help." Our Guest: Stefano Bolognini, MD, is a psychiatrist and training and supervising analyst of the Italian Psychoanalytic Society (SPI), where he served as president (2009-2013). He also was an IPA Board member (2002-2012) and was IPA president from 2013-2017. He was a member of the European Editorial Board of the International Journal of Psychoanalysis and a founder of the IPA Inter-Regional Encyclopedic Dictionary of Psychoanalysis.

And I think Epicureanism, in particular, hasn't received the attention it deserves - and it has a lot going for it. But one of the things about Ancient Greek philosophy is the reason people go back to it is that their central question was happiness. What is the good life? And Epicurus himself said philosophy is worthless unless it helps people live a good life. All this other stuff is useless unless it quiets the mind. And so, it's a timeless question and they have timeless answers. Sometimes it's just comforting to know that the answers are old. But they were also very counter-cultural. They really liked to shake things up. Greek philosophers were not just your normal people. They challenged people. And I think that even if you end up deciding, Oh, this isn't for me, they're asking such important questions about living that you have to figure out the answers. And so I think they're challenging the standard narratives - and people need that. They need to be kind of shaken up even if they think, Oh, that's not for me." On Not Delaying Joy "And Epictetus is often associated with this phrase, Eat, drink, and be merry for tomorrow we die. And though he never said that, he does say why delay joy? We only get one life. And so even if you don't have a lot of time for joy now, it's really important to pursue it now and to get good at it. Whether that's in very small amounts of time or, or larger amounts of time, I think some people who kind of take their retirement as they go in a certain way and that has a little bit to do with what they take to be the good life. A lot of the joy we find is in simple things in everyday activities, in being with one another. And it doesn't take anything flashier. It doesn't really cost a lot of money. And so I think he would focus on joy now and practicing living. Don't delay it,
Description: “The world is moving to kindness. It's all going to be okay.” I personally was very appreciative of this message from Dr. Eben Alexander. This week we revisit our eye-opening episode with Dr. Eben Alexander, the author of the international phenomenon Proof of Heaven. we'll catch up with Dr. Eben while he shares his thoughts on the true nature of consciousness and ways to cultivate a state of harmony with the universe and our higher purpose.I reveal my near-death experience and share a vulnerable hunger in my soul. In 2008, Dr. Eben Alexander's brain was severely impaired by a devastating case of bacterial meningitis, and he lapsed into a weeklong coma. It was almost certainly a death sentence, but he miraculously survived and brought back with him an astounding story. During those seven days in a coma, he was plunged into the deepest realms of consciousness and came to understand profound truths about the universe we inhabit. What he learned changed everything he knew about the brain, mind, and consciousness and drove him to ask a question confounding the entire scientific community: How do you explain the origins of consciousness if it is not a byproduct of the brain? His challenge relates to a revolutionary shift now underway within our modern scientific understanding. Ultimately, direct experience is key to fully understanding how we are all connected through the binding force of unconditional love and its unlimited power to heal.In Living in a Mindful Universe, the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Proof of Heaven and The Map of Heaven shares his insights into the true nature of consciousness. Embracing his radically new worldview, he began a committed program of personal exploration into non-local consciousness. Along the way, he met Karen Newell, who had spent most of her lifetime living the worldview he had only just discovered was possible. Her personal knowledge came from testing various techniques and theories as part of her daily routine. With Living in a Mindful Universe, they teach others how to tap into our greater mind and the power of the heart to facilitate the enhancement of healing, relationships, creativity, guidance, and more. Using various modalities related to meditation and mindfulness, you will gain the power to access that infinite source of knowing so vital to us all, ultimately enriching every facet of our lives.Biography:Eben Alexander, MD, was an academic neurosurgeon for over 25 years, including 15 years at the Brigham & Women's Hospital, Children's Hospital, and Harvard Medical School in Boston. He experienced a transcendental Near-Death Experience (NDE) during a week-long coma from an inexplicable brain infection that completely transformed his worldview.

EPISODE #2.9: The Heart of Law with Alejandro Blanco So what does Antoine De Saint-Exupéry's The Little Prince have to do with Mirena's special guest in this episode of The Heart of Law? Fittingly enough, Alejandro Blanco, architect and godfather of Trial Structure, reels us into an empirical conversation about how to effectively win a trial with the mind and the heart. Our facile host hits the nail on the head. Alejandro can prodigiously “talk about anything.” A native of Argentina before his folks furloughed to the US (and a gifted child who fluently spoke English in three months then later accelerated into 4th grade at just six years old), Alejandro received an enviable, cosmopolitan education between the two countries. After attending Berkeley, he returned home and studied law in Argentina—completing a seven-year law degree in merely three years. He subsequently worked as the Chief of Protocol to the governor of his home state because of his inclination toward International Law. However, disillusioned by the graft within the Argentinian local government, Alejandro finally immigrated to the US a year later to take the bar in California. Despite being a young, broke, "punk," he cleverly volunteered as a proctor for the bar exams so he could utilize review materials. “I studied like hell for eight months while working part-time, and I took the bar just to practice … to see what it was [like]. And then I got this letter signed: ‘Congratulations!' “ Whoosh … and the rest is history. As Alejandro and Mirena chat about their common immigrant struggles of setting their roots while chasing the American Dream, we see how their interests intersect. They live in the legal world: Mirena in the business/finance sector and Alejandro in the profession/trial district. Interestingly enough, Alejandro opens our eyes to the trenches and intellectual aspects of Law. He introduces us to the Philosophy of Law, Sociology of Law, Evolution of Law, Comparative Procedural Law, Administrative Law and … akin to medical doctors, lawyers who decide to dive deeper into the study of Law become “Doctors of the Law” to “heal the ills of society … [and] affect how the government works within the structure of dealing with the citizens so [we] don't have lawsuits to make the government, you have adequate administrative procedures … affecting wide-ranging changes. ” In other words, while Alejandro points us to seemingly lofty and scholarly pursuits, he actually uses philosophy and interdisciplinary approaches from Carl Jung, Sigmund Freud, Jacob L. Moreno, and even Steven L. Winter as conduits to point us to the deeper recesses of the heart. The critical reasoning and pragmatic methodologies Alejandro learned become practical tools to improve an unpredictable process: TRIAL—the ultimate stage where lives hang in the balance. He creates and provides a surefire, scholastic formula for lawyers to use. He calls it “a Systems Approach vs. a Talent Approach.” Most importantly, we hear his axiom behind helping everyone. He approaches plaintiffs the same way Mother Teresa of Calcutta compassionately helped the poor: representing them without taking their faults and imperfections against them. Intellectual altruism, so to speak—an enlightened logic deciding not to discriminate against others. Well, it seems we have much to learn. We can all choose to become students of our circumstances! How, indeed, do we “utilize betrayal” and live magnanimously in the midst of loss? For Alejandro, the “artistry of trial work is to be able to experience that pain and to let go.” Now we come full circle. Because of what he allowed us to discern, Alejandro has become the utopian guest for The Heart of Law's Episode 2.9. When we learn and truly understand, we open our hearts. Then we have to agree with The Little Prince: "It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye."

We are called to right the unrightable wrongs." "It is one thing to see the nuances that the mind loves to play with. It is another to take care of the hunger and the needs and “the cholera” and the wars that are going on. So healing always comes first." "Give me a case. Any case." "You can't do your best if you're numb … the artistry of trial work is to be able to experience that [client's] pain and to let go." "[In trial] I can … rest knowing that I gave it all. I'll just feel the pain–breathe it in, then breathe it out–And I'll stand again because so many people need our help … There's no way around it. You just have to stand and do it again." "Climbing is akin to trial work. Every case has a move that you have to execute perfectly. We call it the crux. If you do not execute the crux perfectly, you die. And as a trial lawyer, you learn the few times that you don't execute [the move], you die. [Ask yourself,] "What [is it] about me that is not able to make this move?" "The jury wants to do the right thing. The defense wants to sell a fake narrative or an absurd narrative. What kills that? What trumps … and cuts through that morass? Truth! And Caring! When you come to the court and you leave it all, if you don't win, then nobody can win."

At an early age, I heard the call to be of service to humanity. For decades, I tried to avoid the messages coming from the Universe to follow my true path, because I wanted to “fit in” to the norm of what society required of me. By 2009 I was deeply depressed, felt empty inside, I was lost, and unsatisfied with my life. When my doctor warned me that I would not survive more than 2 years, if I continued on that path, I knew I had to make drastic changes in my life. My struggle and suffering was caused by the career I had chosen ten years prior. So I took the first steps to take my power back. I left my accounting career behind and surrendered to return to my true self and pursue my divinely guided purpose in this life. My mission was to become a clear channel for the Universe and Source, thereby enabling me to be of service to others. Spending time in nature praying and meditating guided me to where I am today. Through a vivid dream, I remembered who I was. Within months I began my journey of permanent positive change and that decision guided me towards hypnotherapy, spirituality, and my intuitive gifts. That was the beginning of my transition into becoming an intuitive healer, certified hypnotherapist, life coach, and author, bringing Universal Wisdom, love, light, and healing to all who seek my services. Since then, I have been helping my clients overcome stress, anxiety, and other mental and emotional blocks that are caused by fears, and limiting beliefs. Through my gifts of intuitive healing, combined with extensive training in psychology, hypnotherapy, NLP, EFT, and life coaching I empower my clients to achieve their goals and dreams and experience inner peace and happiness in the areas of love, health, career/path/purpose.

I walked out of rehab with nothing but a duffel bag and a pack of cigarettes I lost my house, car, my marriage ended everything I was officially at rock bottom. I came from a typical alcoholic home mom was a drunk parents were divorced. I was angry and lost so I fell into drugs and alcohol. But now I have a great job, two beautiful kids, an amazing fiancé. I chair 12 step meetings and try to stay active in the recovery community as much as possible. Let me know if there is anything else you want to know. I've been clean for 22 months this time around I'm a sous chef in South Haven, MI

Birds sing to set up a territory, but the relationships between the bird, the song, the territory, and the bird's community are highly complex and individually variable. In Living as a Bird (English translation by Helen Morrison, Polity Press, 2021), Vinciane Despret explores the concept of territory from a perspective that situates philosophical work on human conceptions of other animals within historical and contemporary empirical research into bird song and territorial behavior. Following recent theorizing by ornithologists and ethologists, Despret – an associate professor of philosophy at the University of Liege in Belgium – critiques the popular view of territories as private property and birds as petit bourgeois who gain property rights, a conception grounded in European social upheavals starting in the 17th century. Instead, territories are zones of social interaction with one's “dear enemies” at the peripheries, where male and female birds alike are active participants in the shaping, reshaping and sharing of neighborhoods bounded in song as well as space. This new translation makes Despret's thoughtful analysis of songbird life accessible to an English-speaking audience. Carrie Figdor is professor of philosophy at the University of Iowa.

Living on Campus: An Architectural History of the American Dormitory SHOW GUEST: Professor Carla Yanni Against the backdrop of sweeping societal changes, communal living endured because it bolstered networking, if not studying. But housing policies often enabled discrimination according to class, race, and gender, despite the fact that deans envisioned the residence hall as a democratic alternative to the elitist fraternity. In "Living on Campus," Rutgers University Professor Carl Yanni focuses on the dormitory as a place of exclusion as much as a site of fellowship, and considers the uncertain future of residence halls in the age of distance learning.
In Living with Oil and Coal: Resource Politics and Militarization in Northeast India(University of Washington Press, 2019), anthropologist Dolly Kikon offers a rich account of life in the midst of a landscape defined by multiple overlapping extractive industries and plantation economies, and of the social relations through which a resource frontier comes into being. Examining the foothills at the border between the states of Assam and Nagaland, she describes the histories of tea plantations, oil exploration, and coal mining, the role of mobility and migration, the security apparatuses that has evolved over decades of conflict and militarization, and, most strikingly, the way these forces shape and are manifest in the daily course of life of those inhabiting the region. In this episode of New Books in anthropology, Dolly Kikon and host Jacob Doherty talk about the role of hospitality in constructing resource frontiers, how morom (‘love’) works as an idiom to police ethnic purity and critique the state, the sociality of local markets, and the dreams and fantasies engendered by the carbon economy. Dolly Kikon is a senior lecturer in anthropology and development studies at the Univerity of Melbourne. She is the author of the book Leaving the Land: Indigenous Migration and Affective Labour in India (Cambridge, 2019), and, among many others, the article “Fermenting Modernity” (South Asia, 2015). Jacob Doherty is a lecturer in anthropology of development at the University of Edinburgh and, most recently, the co-editor Labor Laid Waste, a special issue of International Labor and Working Class History.

Get ready for a powerful conversation with my friend Greg Fritz about how you can have a regret-free future by getting over your past. About the Book: You cannot move forward on the road of life while looking in the rear-view mirror. It will hinder you from successfully reaching your destination. God wants you looking forward to the future! Sorrow, hurt, guilt, and shame are not God's will for your life. No matter what you've been through, what you've done, or what's been done to you, you can be free from the past and live life to the fullest with no regrets. What Jesus has already done is more than enough to set you free from your past. Applying this powerful truth in a personal way to past experiences is the best way—sometimes the only way—to walk free from regrets. We can live free not because of what we've done but because of what He's done! In Living with No Regrets, author Greg Fritz shares simple yet profound truths from God's Word that will set you free and give you a new lease on life. Greg shares: Overcoming regrets and failures Getting over grief A captivating, personal testimony of how Carol Fritz overcame sorrow and regret Healing for the brokenhearted Freedom from guilt Resisting the poison of bitterness It's time to move on! Wave goodbye to regrets! Get ready for your future by getting over your past.

“A synchronicity is a meaningful event that leads to a set of experiences we want to have.” - Sky Nelson Isaacs Synchronicity: noun. The simultaneous occurrence of events which appear significantly related but have no discernible causal connection. Sky Nelson Isaacs is a physics educator, speaker, and author of Living in Flow: The Science of Synchronicity and How Your Choices Shape Your World, which uses scientific research to explain acts of synchronicity. Sky has studied synchronicity and flow for the past 20 years and has shared his findings in academic articles and at events across the country. Sky explains that while many of our experiences in life are difficult, if we can assume all events are leading us to our desired outcome, then we are able to fully embrace synchronicity and all that it brings. In Living in Flow, Sky introduces the LORAX process for bringing more synchronicity and flow into your life. So what does LORAX stand for and how can we use it? L - Listen to your circumstance(s) O - Open your mind to the possibilities R - Reflect on how these new possibilities could work R - Release attachment to the way you thought things would go, or your desired outcome A - Take action and make a choice X - Repeat On this episode, Chad and Sky discuss what synchronicity is, how you can bring more of it into your life, and how being authentic allows you to live a life in flow. – Mission Daily and all of our podcasts are created with love by our team at Mission.orgWe own and operate a network of podcasts, and brand story studio designed to accelerate learning.

Synchronicity or meaningful coincidence has been something philosophers and scientists have wondered about for decades. Most of us have experienced it at least once. You are on a much anticipated road trip and your vehicle breaks down. As you're waiting by the side of the road a mechanic who specializes in just that type of car drives up and lends a hand. Is this just chance? Can two events be related in a meaningful way without one causing the other? If so, what does this tell us about the cosmos? Can we live in such a way and make choices that encourage synchronicity? Is that something we should strive for? In Living in Flow: The Science of Synchronicity and How Your Choices Shape Your World, today's special guest, physicist Sky Nelson-Isaacs turns to quantum mechanics to seek answers. Adhering to what we know from science, while offering a provocative new hypothesis, Nelson-Isaacs proposes that the cosmos may be designed to bring us meaningful, synchronistic experiences in response to the choices we make. When we live in “flow,” a state of activity in which we align with our purpose and values, balancing our personal good with the greater good, we make choices that invite synchronicity. In addition to a layperson's explanation of the possible physics behind synchronicity, Nelson-Isaacs shows how cultivating flow can empower us individually and help make our world a better place. Sky Nelson-Isaacs is a physics educator, speaker, author, and musician. He has a masters degree in physics from San Francisco State University, with a thesis in String Theory, and a BS in physics from UC Berkeley. Nelson-Isaacs has dedicated his life to finding his own sense of purpose, beginning as a student of the Yogic master Sri Swami Satchidananda when he was less than five years old.

Is there proof of heaven? The Outer Limits of Inner Truth proudly presents an introspective interview with & Forensic Soul Analysis on Dr. Eben Alexander. In 2008, Dr. Eben Alexander's brain was severely damaged by a devastating case of bacterial meningitis, and he lapsed into a weeklong coma. It was almost certainly a death sentence, but he miraculously survived and brought back with him an astounding story. During those 7 days in coma, he was plunged into the deepest realms of consciousness and came to understand profound truths about the universe we inhabit. What he learned changed everything he knew about the brain, mind, and consciousness and drove him to ask a question confounding the entire scientific community: How do you explain the origins of consciousness if it is not a byproduct of the brain? His challenge relates to a revolutionary shift now underway within our modern scientific understanding. Ultimately, direct experience is key to fully understanding how we are all connected through the binding force of unconditional love and its unlimited power to heal. In Living in a Mindful Universe, the New York Times bestselling author of Proof of Heaven and The Map of Heavenshares his insights into the true nature of consciousness. Embracing his radically new worldview, he began a committed program of personal exploration into nonlocal consciousness. Along the way, he met Karen Newell, who had spent most of her lifetime living the worldview he had only just discovered was possible. Her personal knowledge came from testing various techniques and theories as part of her daily routine. With Living in a Mindful Universe, they teach you how to tap into your greater mind and the power of the heart to facilitate enhancement of healing, relationships, creativity, guidance, and more. Using various modalities related to meditation and mindfulness, you will gain the power to access that infinite source of knowing so vital to us all, ultimately enriching every facet of our lives.

Veneration for this force beyond anything that we can comprehend is my religion. To that extent I am, in point of fact, religious.” – Albert Einstein (1879 – 1955)
In 1957 Ghana achieved its independence from Great Britain under the leadership of Kwame Nkrumah. In Living with Nkrumahism: Nation, State, and Pan-Africanism in Ghana (Ohio University Press, 2017), Jeffrey Ahlman uses a wide range of archival and print sources to examine the first decade of Ghanaian self-rule and challenges the teleological assumptions that have dominated historical understandings of African decolonization. The author starts by explaining the roots of Nkrumah’s anti-colonial agenda, which became the guiding principle for the Convention People’s Party (CPP) political program. The book also describes the means by which said program was implemented, how it evolved in response to national and international conditions, and how it was experienced by some of the people who lived through it. Esperanza Brizuela-Garcia is Associate Professor of History at Montclair State University.

In 1957 Ghana achieved its independence from Great Britain under the leadership of Kwame Nkrumah. In Living with Nkrumahism: Nation, State, and Pan-Africanism in Ghana (Ohio University Press, 2017), Jeffrey Ahlman uses a wide range of archival and print sources to examine the first decade of Ghanaian self-rule and challenges the teleological assumptions that have dominated historical understandings of African decolonization. The author starts by explaining the roots of Nkrumah’s anti-colonial agenda, which became the guiding principle for the Convention People’s Party (CPP) political program. The book also describes the means by which said program was implemented, how it evolved in response to national and international conditions, and how it was experienced by some of the people who lived through it.

Robert King Wilkerson (aka Robert Hillary King) was imprisoned at Louisiana State Penitentiary in Angola, Louisiana for 31 years. Twenty-nine of those years he was in solitary confinement. During that time he created a clandestine kitchen in his 6×9 cell where he made pralines, heating the the butter and sugar he saved from his food tray over a tiny burner concocted from a Coke can and a toilet paper roll. King’s case was overturned in 2001 and he was released. He was living in New Orleans during Katrina, refused to leave his dog, and weathered the storm in his apartment. Today he lectures around the world and makes candy — which he calls Freelines — to bring attention to issues of prison reform and the story of his comrades and The Angola Three. In “Living with Water,” journalist Julia Kumari Drapkin, director of ISeeChange, a community weather and climate journal project, takes us on a tour of her flooded neighborhood in New Orleans after a recent storm. She talks about the vision of creating water gardens, floating streets and other water projects that look towards living with water in New Orleans rather than continuing to completely drain and sink the land.
In "Living with Schizophrenia—Is There Hope?", The Grief Girl host Kristi Hugstad speaks to Betsy Bryant, a mother of three children—the oldest of whom has been suffering from schizophrenia for twenty years. Betsy walks us through the start of her son's disease to the present day and how he has learned to live with it. This is an inspirational and educational story of dealing with an illness that doesn't yet have a cure, and how to keep a positive, healthy outlook through it all. 1:42 - Kristi introduces Betsy Bryant, who tells us about her son Ryan's battle with bipolar psychotic schizophrenic episode II started at age 19. Betsy explains the initial signs, including lack of sleep and voices he was hearing. Betsy thought he was on hallucinogenic drugs, but after taking her son to the doctor, she discovered that drugs weren't involved at all…. 5:28 - Kristi explains what schizophrenia is, and discusses the symptoms and signs of the disorder. Betsy talks about her son's symptoms, which included extreme paranoia that forced him to lose his job, and the intricacies of the schizophrenic "episode." 8:20 - Initially, Ryan thought he was Brad Pitt, and then convinced himself that he was the character Anakin Skywalker in Star Wars. The latter delusion pushed him to drive to George Lucas' home in Northern California and ended up car-less and far from home. 11:38 - Betsy explains that as an adult, Ryan is able to hide his paranoia and live in his own hell privately, and discusses the pain she feels watching him suffer. 13:25 - Betsy examines the pattern of Ryan's episodes and the difficulty in finding the right cocktail of medications twenty years ago. "Our brains are like snowflakes—no two brains are alike." The key is finding the right people on your medical team to provide expertise and help, and continuing to keep your loved one on medication. 15:45 - Kristi asks Betsy to explain what Ryan's diagnosis as a "high functioning schizophrenic" means. On the surface, he is clean, well-mannered, intelligent, but stressful situations trigger his episodes, thus preventing him from keeping a job. However, he's been able to achieve goals such as obtaining a Bachelor of Science degree with honors in just three years. He has also been able to acknowledge that he has the disease, and asks for help when he is having an episode. 17:50 - Kristi and Betsy discuss certain behaviors or "red flags" of episodes. 20:15 - Betsy sheds light on which myths about schizophrenia are accurate. 21:50 - How has Ryan's schizophrenia impacted Betsy's life and the lives of his younger siblings? 24:30 - Kristi and Betsy talk about the mental health system, and the quality of help that Ryan has received when hospitalized (which has been nearly twenty times). 27:35 - They discuss the early warning signs of schizophrenia, which include social withdrawal, hostility or paranoia, deterioration of personal hygiene, flat or expressionless gaze, inability to cry or express joy, inappropriate laughter or crying, etc. 29:30 - Betsy explains her son's conflict between "good and evil" as well as what is delusional or real in his mind. 31:28 - Betsy talks about the time that Ryan had an episode in which he stayed secluded in his room for a week, and how she dealt with it. She explains that there is a lot of submission as a parent of a schizophrenic required to keep an episode from escalating. 35:55 - Betsy discusses her views on depression and how we don't always know how to identify or deal with it. 39:42 - Does Betsy view schizophrenia as hopeless? 40:58 - Betsy talks about a new drug called Latuda as well as the challenges of helping an adult son who has the legal right to check himself out of hospitals during episodes, etc. 45:55 - Betsy explains the financial costs of Ryan's schizophrenic episodes. 49:00 - Betsy discusses the possible roots of schizophrenia, which may genetic components and traumatic events. 51:15 - Betsy's message to people about schizophrenia. 52:30 - And as always, we end with the question Kristi always asks her guests, “What has grief taught you?” For Betsy, it's compassion.
