Podcasts about Solitude

We live in the most connected era in human history — and yet loneliness has never been more widespread. In this thoughtful and beautifully grounded episode, Lia Girard makes an important distinction between two very different kinds of being alone. There is the loneliness we dread — that gnawing disconnection felt even in a crowded room full of people staring at their screens. And then there is erēmos — the Greek word used in Luke 5:16 — a purposeful, chosen withdrawal to a quiet place to be with God. Jesus didn't just permit this kind of solitude. He modeled it, prioritized it, and returned to it again and again. Throughout the richly packed chapter of Luke 5, Jesus pours Himself out completely — healing, teaching, feeding, loving. And then He withdraws. Forty days alone in the wilderness. A mountainside after feeding five thousand. The Garden of Gethsemane, stepping away even from His closest friends to pray. If the Son of God — fully divine, fully human — needed the sanctuary of solitude to reorient His heart to the Father's will, how much more do we? Lia invites us to stop treating silence as something to fill and start treating it as the gift it truly is — a place where we can hear our own hearts, and the voice of God that is meant singularly for us. Today's Bible Verse "But Jesus often withdrew to lonely places and prayed." — Luke 5:16, NIV Ponder Today Solitude is not loneliness — it is sanctuary. The Greek word erēmos in Luke 5:16 describes a purposeful retreat to a quiet place. Chosen solitude with God is not isolation; it is intimacy. Jesus modeled solitude as a necessity, not a luxury. From forty days in the wilderness to a mountainside after feeding thousands, Jesus consistently withdrew to be with the Father. His example is both permission and invitation for us to do the same. Busyness and pouring ourselves out for others make solitude more necessary, not less. Jesus lived demanding, sacrificial days — and that is precisely why He withdrew. The fuller your life feels, the more urgently your soul needs quiet. Solitude protects the authenticity of your prayer life. Jesus warned against prayer performed for others to see. Time alone with God removes the audience and creates the conditions for an honest, unguarded outpouring of your heart. A Prayer for You Today Dear God, I'm not always comfortable with solitude — I tend to fill quiet moments with productivity or distraction rather than time with You. The world is loud, and my life feels full and demanding. Please help me reprioritize sitting in silence with You. Help me not to feel anxious when I'm alone, but to see stillness as a gift. Help me reestablish the practice of withdrawing to be refilled with Your guidance and presence. Thank You for Jesus, who shows us that solitude is a necessity, not a luxury — and that being alone is not lonely at all. In Jesus' mighty name, Amen. Don't Miss an Episode If today's prayer made you want to find a quiet place and simply be with God, we'd love to stay connected.

Most people assume being rich would solve almost every problem in life. More freedom. Less stress. More happiness. But psychologists who work with wealthy families say money—especially when people grow up with a lot of it—can create a surprising set of emotional and psychological problems that few outsiders ever see. Source: Dr. Stephen Berglas author of Reclaiming the Fire (https://amzn.to/3VjeRIS). Why do humans dream at all? Why does the brain create these intense experiences while we sleep? And why do dreams sometimes feel more emotionally real than waking life? Neurosurgeon and neuroscientist Dr. Rahul Jandial explains what modern science is discovering about the dreaming brain, including how dreams may help process emotion, simulate danger, strengthen memory, and shape mental health in ways we are only beginning to understand. He is author of This Is Why You Dream: What Your Sleeping Brain Reveals About Your Waking Life (https://amzn.to/3KmOE5N). Modern life sends a clear message: if you spend too much time alone, something must be wrong. But researchers studying solitude say that idea may be completely backward. Time alone—when chosen intentionally—can improve creativity, emotional resilience, self-awareness, and even relationships with other people. Psychologist Netta Weinstein joins me to explain why humans actually need periods of disconnection from others and why learning to be comfortably alone may be one of the healthiest skills modern people can develop. Netta directs the European Research Council's “Solitude: Alone but Resilient (SOAR)” project and is author of Solitude: The Science and Power of Being Alone (https://amzn.to/3wVA7eb). “Organic seafood” sounds healthy and environmentally friendly. But what does that label even mean when applied to fish and shellfish?

What does success look like when you strip away external validation entirely? Constantly plugged in and running on empty? In this episode we chat about how an act of self-care can sometimes be simply logging off and going quiet.We dig into what we call "hermiting" - the intentional practice of stepping back from social media and external noise to hear your own voice again. Because when everyone else's opinions flood in, your own desires get buried underneath them, and your own sense of self quietly disappears. Call your energy back and make your sense of self feel like home again.Socials & More:Our Website: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.ettaarlene.com/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Our Shop: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.ettaarlene.com/shop/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Youtube: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC0L6zmuIlOwZA_OEvH8jHYA⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/ettaarlene/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Twitter (X): ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://twitter.com/edpro_pgh⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

What is the difference between solitude and loneliness, and why does every creative person need to understand it?There are two kinds of being alone in creative work, and they are not the same thing. One makes the work great. The other wears you down to nothing. The difference between solitude and loneliness is the difference between sustainable creative life and creative burnout, and most of us never learn to tell them apart.In this Deep Dive, host Christian Taylor takes a single line from her conversation with filmmaker Armin Korsos, that filmmaking can be a very lonely process, and explores what it actually means to be alone in creative work, and what turns the hard kind of alone into the kind that makes the work matter.In this Deep Dive on Documentary First Episode 278 with Armin Korsos, Christian draws a line between loneliness and solitude. Loneliness is the desert. Solitude is the garden. The work, she argues, is learning to turn one into the other, and then finding the people who remind you that the loneliness was never a sign of failure. It was just part of the work.Anchored in Henri Nouwen's image of the desert and the garden, and C.S. Lewis on friendship from The Four Loves, this episode is for filmmakers, writers, voice actors, painters, small business owners, and anyone who does the quiet work alone and needs to be reminded they are not the only one.In this episode, Christian explores:The difference between solitude and loneliness, and why creative people confuse themWhy the most creative moments come from being alone, and why the work needs the quietThe second kind of alone: the lonely math of budgets, fundraising, and payrollWhy that weight is not a sign you are failing, but a sign you are doing the workWhat both kinds of alone are forging in you at the same timeWhy you cannot offer anything in a room of peers until the time alone has happenedHow finding your people can feel like an oasis in the desertWhat community actually does for the work, and what it does not doWhy you are built for both solitude and community, and need bothCHAPTERS0:00 The Two Kinds of Alone0:20 Armin Korsos on the Lonely Process1:13 The Outside View vs. the Inside Reality1:36 The First Alone. Solitude as the Creative Garden3:38 The Second Alone. The Lonely Math of Filmmaking5:28 Finding Your People. The Oasis in the Desert7:26 What Community Does for the WorkFrequently Asked QuestionsWhat is the difference between solitude and loneliness?Solitude is chosen, generative time alone that creative work requires. It is where you hear what a story is asking for and find your own voice. Loneliness is the heavier, often involuntary weight of carrying the hard parts of the work by yourself, the budgets, the rejections, the decisions no one else can make for you. The writer Henri Nouwen framed the spiritual task as converting the desert of loneliness into a garden of solitude.Why is filmmaking so lonely?From the outside, filmmaking looks like the festival, the poster, and the applause. From the inside, most of the work is one person alone with the thing: the edit, the budget, the fundraising, the difficult conversations with crew. The finished film never shows the months spent alone with a spreadsheet, so the loneliness stays invisible. It is a normal part of the work, not a sign of failure.What did Henri Nouwen say about loneliness and solitude?In Reaching Out (1975), Nouwen wrote that to live a spiritual life we must first find the courage to enter into the desert of our loneliness and to change it by gentle and persistent efforts into a garden of solitude. He described the movement from loneliness to solitude as the beginning of any spiritual life.How do creative people deal with isolation?By holding two things at once: protecting the solitude the work requires, and building a community that reminds them the loneliness is shared. The time alone is what makes the work. The people are what keep you the kind of person who can keep making it. You are built for both, and you need both.About the Topic and SourcesHenri Nouwen, Reaching Out: The Three Movements of the Spiritual Life (1975)The Dutch priest, professor, and writer whose image of the desert of loneliness and the garden of solitude anchors this episode. His exact words: “To live a spiritual life we must first find the courage to enter into the desert of our loneliness and to change it by gentle and persistent efforts into a garden of solitude.”C.S. Lewis, The Four Loves (1960)Lewis on how friendship is born. The moment one person says to another, “What? You too? I thought I was the only one.” Christian connects this to meeting her friend Sarah in 1989 over a shared love of Lewis, Winnie the Pooh, and the Bible.About Documentary First: The Deep DiveEach week, host Christian Taylor takes an insight from a recent Documentary First filmmaker interview and explores it through literature, philosophy, current culture, and the universal human experience. It is a companion show to Documentary First, built for documentary filmmakers, lovers of story, and anyone who wants to think more deeply about what we are watching. Christian Taylor is a documentary filmmaker (The Girl Who Wore Freedom), actress, voice actor, and podcast host based in the United States.Resources MentionedDocumentary First Episode 278 with Armin Korsos: https://pod.fo/e/41b633Henri Nouwen, Reaching Out: The Three Movements of the Spiritual Life (1975):https://www.henrinouwen.org/books/reaching-outC.S.

In this 16-minute podcast, I unpack the growing loneliness epidemic and explore why so many people feel emotionally disconnected despite being more digitally connected than ever before.We dive into the 2023 U.S. Surgeon General's report on loneliness, the science behind connection and co-regulation, attachment theory, vulnerability, and the nervous system's need for emotional safety and belonging.I also explore the difference between fitting in versus true belonging, the loss of community and “third spaces” in modern life, and why many people today are surrounded by others yet still feel deeply alone.I share insights from Blue Zones research and how some of the world's longest-living communities prioritize relationships, rituals, purpose, and interdependence as part of daily life, reminding us that connection is not just emotional, but biological.This episode is both compassionate and practical, offering gentle reminders and actionable ways to begin cultivating deeper, more authentic connection in a world that often encourages hyper-independence and emotional masking.If you've been feeling disconnected, unseen, or emotionally isolated lately, this conversation is a reminder that you are not broken and that healing often happens in safe relationships and community.♾ In a fast-paced world like the one we live in, time is one of our most important assets. For a few minutes every episode, I, Tannaz Hosseinpour, will be discussing topics that aim to enhance the quality of your life, by helping you feel empowered to take inspired action on your personal growth journey.Connect with me for daily insights:InstagramFacebookTikTokMore resources available on www.minutesongrowth.comThis podcast is for educational purposes only.

How is your relationship with solitude vs being social and connecting with others ? A decade ago my relationship with solitude was non-existent. Then, prompted by the pandemic, I went into a few years of mainly solitude, which was perfect and what I needed at that time. Now I'm focusing on a healthy balance between being social and having that so important time alone. To hear myself, reflect, and grow.Solitude, well healthy version of it ,is an important part of full and juicy life so lets talk about it.Connect with me:Instagram:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/annamaluskitzmann/Breathe with me:https://www.tinyspacetobreathe.comPlant trees: https://onetreeplanted.org/⁠⁠⁠⁠Energy reading & healing: https://annamalus.co/Key topicsRelationship with solitudePandemic's impact on solitude and self-discoveryBalancing solitude and social connectionSeasonal cycles of solitude and socializationSolitude is essential for hearing your inner voice and understanding your needs.Pandemic provided a unique opportunity for self-reflection and rediscovery.Balance between solitude and social connection is key to mental health.Seasonal cycles influence our need for solitude or socializkey words :solitude, personal growth, self-reflection, pandemic, balance, connection, healing, spiritual growth, mental health, self-discovery

This episode of Ron's Amazing Stories presents a chilling double feature from the legendary science fiction radio series X Minus One. Tonight we explore two very different visions of imprisonment — one through unbearable loneliness and the other through the terrifying loss of privacy itself. In "Knock," adapted from the famous two-sentence story by Frederick Brown, the last surviving man on Earth faces alien conquerors and the crushing weight of solitude. Then in Theodore Sturgeon's unsettling "Mr. Costello, Hero," a charismatic manipulator transforms an entire colony into a place where being alone is considered a crime. Two stories. Two futures. One haunting question: What happens when humanity loses the freedom to simply be human? In this Episode Knock (5/22/1955) – Adapted from the Frederick Brown story. After aliens conquer Earth, the last surviving man struggles against impossible odds to avenge humanity and reclaim his world. Mr. Costello, Hero (7/3/1956) – Adapted from the Theodore Sturgeon story. A colony discovers the horrifying consequences of a society where solitude and privacy have become punishable offenses. A look back at the history and legacy of X Minus OneThoughts on loneliness, surveillance, freedom, and why these stories still resonate today Join Ron for a journey into the strange futures imagined by radio's golden age — where the stars are beautiful, the future is uncertain, and freedom is never guaranteed.

The power of solitude means recognizing that time alone is not loneliness but an opportunity for deep connection with yourself. This guide explores embracing solitude as a source of strength, using alone time for reflection and renewal, and finding your own company rather than constantly seeking distraction. The quiet moment is where solitude becomes your friend—you learn to be with yourself without the need for external stimulation.

When the Guardian drops a list of the 100 Greatest Novels in English it's time to drop everything to talk about it. Luckily pod-regular guest, journalist Phil Chaffee and Joseph Dance, host of the Curious Readers podcast, also had views, and were willing to get together on a Sunday evening to share them. You'll hear our hits, our misses, how many we've read, whether we should have read more and much musing on whether a list like this is the way to get people excited about reading. We explore the joys of the sub-lists – the contributor lists – all squirrelled away on a sub-section of the Guardian's website, that arguably provide more excitement and inspiration than the fairly canonical top 100. Which is the best Brontë? Which is the best Austen? Do we age into certain books? If you've read all seven volumes of Proust shouldn't that count for more than one entry? All this and much, much more. Enjoy – this was an absolute delight to make and I hope it makes you smile as much as it did me.Have your say: get in touch on Instagram @bookclubreviewpodcast or email thebookclubreview@gmail.com, or head to our website for full shownotes.

Graduation season is here, and Cheri has a message for every new grad that she wishes she'd heard at 22 instead of figuring out the hard way: nobody is coming to save you. Not your parents, not your therapist, not the perfect partner, not your followers. And once you really get that, it's not depressing — it's the most freeing thing in the world. In this quickie episode, Cheri unpacks what it actually looks like to show up for yourself. She talks about why obsessing over how you look to attract the "right" person is a losing game (spoiler: all the dudes look the same after 60 anyway), why disappointment is almost always a sign you were outsourcing your wellbeing, and how taking 100% responsibility for your life is where the magic actually starts. She also gets into the social media trap — how scrolling through someone else's feed means you're paying attention to their agenda instead of your own — and makes the case for being the master and commander of your own attention. You don't have to record your life. You don't have to report on it. The quietest lives can be the richest ones. The episode wraps with a short seated meditation on letting thoughts come and go without judgment, plus a homework assignment: next time you're standing in line at the grocery store or waiting at the dentist, leave the phone in your pocket. Just stand there. Notice what you're thinking. That's it. It used to be normal. We've lost it. Time to get it back. A few things Cheri wants you to walk away with:You are the person you've been waiting for. Be her. Be him.Pick the kindest partner. Looks fade, kindness compounds.Walk away from people who aren't bringing out your best — no animosity, no diagnosis, just go.Disappointment = you were relying on something outside yourself.

Most people think the worst thing in the world is being alone.But the Stoics made an important distinction between loneliness and solitude.Loneliness is the painful feeling of disconnection — the sense that you do not belong, that no one truly sees you, understands you, or stands beside you. Solitude, however, is something entirely different. Solitude is peace within yourself. It is the ability to sit quietly in your own company without needing distraction, validation, or noise.In this episode, I explore why human beings fear loneliness so deeply, how our evolutionary history shaped our need for connection, and why community matters far more than modern individualism often admits.I also reflect on Robin Williams' famous quote:“The worst thing in the world is not to be alone, but to be around people who make you feel alone.”From a Stoic perspective, this quote reveals something profound about belonging, perception, emotional dependence, and the search for inner stability.This episode is about:The difference between loneliness and solitudeWhy human beings crave connectionThe Stoic idea of a “well-ordered mind”Why some people cannot tolerate being aloneThe danger of seeking relationships from desperationFinding peace both with others and within yourselfYou do not need to become emotionally isolated to become strong.You need to become stable enough that your peace does not disappear when silence arrives.

Join Pastor Hennie Bosman for part 5 of our series, 'Pray"

In this message, Pastor Landon Schott teaches how solitude is one of the primary ways we connect with God. Through the story of David and Goliath, we see that private encounters with God prepare us for public battles. Solitude is not isolation — it is intentional intimacy with God where He speaks, strengthens, and transforms us.

When we scramble too sharplyout of steeping,we may stumble.It takes patienceto refresh ourselves.Let us committo moving at our own pace,to treating ourselves with love.Let our devotionforge a compassionate path forward,one that nourishes and restores,one that inspires and transforms.Happy Beltane and welcome to this week's Rituals of Returning newsletter!

I'm still enjoying this series, in which everything the main character has thought to be true about his life and world unravels as he discovered how much more lies outside the shadowy boundaries of his life. (listening to with Tanner): Brian's Hunt—the final book in the survival classic series that developed after Hatchet. Since I last wrote, we also listened to The River, Brian's Winter, and Brian's Return. We also continued our Gary Paulsen festival by listening to Northwind, which is about a Viking-era type of boy who has to survive alone on the sea.(listening to by self): Sisters in the Wind—I've barely begun this one, as I only recently finished listening to Warrior Girl, Unearthed. This is the third book following Firekeeper's Daughter, but it actually takes place temporally between the events of Firekeeper and Warrior Girl. I actually liked Warrior Girl, Unearthed more than Firekeeper's Daughter overall, but I was really left frustrated by the many holes in the ending.

What does play mean to you today?Where might you be trying to “straighten” what is meant to be delightfully cattywampus? What would it feel like to bless the imperfect instead of fixing it?Where can you soften in your life—physically, emotionally, mentally, or spiritually?What rough edges are currently rubbing at your spirit, and how might you soften them?Where do you feel “thin,” leaky, or drained in your life or energy body right now?What fears or resentments are hurting you from the inside out? What would it look like to begin releasing even a little of that today?If your heart could speak freely, what would it say it needs in order to remember how to be whole?What idea, project, or dream are you ready to make manifest in this season?Affirmations:I allow playfulness to enrich my life.I find pleasure in the small moments.I follow what pleases me.I am rich in so many ways.I understand the sacred nature of the cattywampus way.I embrace the tender beauty in imperfection.I am playful.I dance in the love light of a benevolent Mother Goddess.I am rooted in love.I pause and return to center.I breathe deep and listen.I allow myself to delight in the sweetness of life.I am open to ease in the present.I soften and rediscover sweetness.I remember I am already whole.I am fierce and wild.Inhabiting the crossroads…I watch the orioles,orange and black embersagainst a backdrop of green.They do not know what is on my lists.Standing under this sky,this day,I remember:when we let the litany of the undonerun away with us,we forget to inhabit the real.The orioles are here today.Tomorrow is still only a rumor.Sometimes I feel like I've been “camping out” at a long, extended crossroads—combination of midlife re-evaluation, changing family constellations and needs, and simply living in the in‑between on a changing earth.Midlife invites us to recognize and hold the reality that we can't live every possible life and can't say yes to every shimmering door.But you can:+Listen for your own full yes from the wise guide within. +Make peace with the paths that must pass you by.+Trust that new doors appear because you let others close.A mini blessing for today:“May I choose with wise discernment, even when it means letting good things go.”Embodying the Goddess: Guest Video about BeautySo pleased to share this guest video from Cynthia Abulafia, the author of Embodying the Goddess with you as a special subscriber bonus this month!Where the magic is…This is where the magic is, right where we are, where we touchthe mighty mystery,step into the sacred, and ease into the boundless, right where it touches us.Gently, now, we invite ourselves to remember.Bravely, now, we invite ourselves to reclaim.Firmly, now, we invite ourselves to return.We need not seek the absolute or long for the holy,we need only to open our eyes and reach out our hands, right here,right now, we have already arrived.Sending love to all of you.Keep living your magic, Molly, Mark, + Family This is a public episode.

In dieser Folge geht es um Verlustangst und die Frage, warum selbst alltägliche Trennungssituationen für manche Menschen existenziell bedrohlich wirken. Die Fallgeschichte von Marion zeigt, wie Kontrollverhalten, ständige Rückversicherung und Zwangsrituale helfen sollen, überwältigende Ängste in Schach zu halten. Wir sprechen über Bindung, Objektkonstanz, frühe Trennungserfahrungen und darüber, wie sich Verlustangst auch auf subtilere Weise im Alltag zeigen kann. Dabei nähern wir uns der Frage, was hinter solchen Ängsten liegt: und warum Vertrauen manchmal schwerer ist, als es von außen scheint. - Vertiefungsfolge "Verlustängste verstehen": https://www.patreon.com/posts/158266657 - Bundestagspetition Psychotherapie: https://epetitionen.bundestag.de/petitionen/_2026/_03/_22/Petition_196912.html - Podcast-Empfehlung "Mein Mensch": Geschichten von besonderen Menschen https://www.swr.de/swrkultur/doku-und-feature/podcast-mein-mensch-100.html Unser neues Buch: "Jetzt bin ich schon wie meine Eltern.

เรามักจะถูกสอนให้ทำงานเป็นทีม เรียนรู้ด้านการสื่อสาร แต่กลับไม่เคยถูกสอนให้ "เรียนรู้การอยู่ตัวคนเดียว" ให้เป็นเมื่อมนุษย์ขาดการเข้าใจตนเอง ขาดการเรียนรู้ในการอยู่กับตัวเองทำให้พวกเขาเหล่านั้นรู้สึก "โดดเดี่ยว" แม้จะอยู่ท่ามกลางคนหมู่มากหรือถึงแม้จะมีเวลาที่ได้กลับมาอยู่กับตัวเอง แต่กลับรู้สึก "กลัว" ช่วงเวลาเหล่านั้นแท้จริงแล้วเราจะเรียนรู้การอยู่กับตัวเองได้อย่างไร?แล้วจะให้เปลี่ยนจาก "ความโดดเดี่ยว (Loneliness)" แปรเปลี่ยนเป็น "ความสุขจากการอยู่คนเดียว" หรือที่เรียกว่า "ความสันโดษ" (Solitude) ได้อย่างไร?มาหาคำตอบในคลิปนี้

Most people would rather shock themselves than sit alone with their own thoughts. In a University of Virginia study, 67% of participants chose physical pain over 15 minutes of silence. That's not a personality flaw — it's a skill most of us were never taught. In this episode, Dr. Caroline Leaf explains why solitude isn't a luxury or a wellness trend — it's a neurological requirement your brain depends on to function. Drawing on neuroscience, she breaks down what happens when you fill every quiet moment with podcasts, notifications, and noise, and what you're actually losing when you do. You'll learn the difference between chosen solitude and forced isolation, how the brain's default mode network drives creativity, memory, and emotional regulation — and why shutting it down constantly has real cognitive consequences. You'll also get a simple 15-minute practice to start rebuilding the capacity right now. If you struggle to be alone with yourself — or you've never thought about it — this episode will change how you think about silence.

In Part II of this conversation, Phil Valentine reflects on what recovery looks like after retirement, after leadership, and after life changes the rhythm you once knew. After decades in recovery and years of leading CCAR, Phil shares how returning to meetings helped him reconnect with something deeply familiar: community. He talks about finding his people again, the difference between solitude and isolation, and why face-to-face connection still matters in a world full of screens, Zoom meetings, and technology. This episode is a reminder that recovery doesn't stop growing just because you have time behind you. Sometimes, the next chapter brings you back to the simple things: showing up, being known, encouraging someone, and remembering that the best is still yet to come. 00:00 Returning to Meetings  01:00 Finding Community Again  02:00 What Real Community Looks Like  04:00 Being Celebrated in Recovery  05:00 Rekindling Connection  06:00 Carrying the Message  07:00 Loving Recovery Again  09:00 Recovery Community Centers  11:00 Multiple Pathways of Recovery  12:00 Finding Your People  13:30 Solitude vs. Isolation  16:00 Why Community Matters  18:00 In-Person Connection vs. Technology  22:00 The Power of Vulnerability  24:00 Simple Words That Can Change a Life  25:00 Phil's Legacy  26:00 Advice for Early Recovery  27:00 The Best Is Yet to Come  28:00 Closing Reflections ----Across the Web----

Mark 1:32-38, Matthew 14:13-14, Luke 5:15-16 with Bryan Rouanzoin

Anna and Geoff discuss the 2026 Women's Prize for Fiction Shortlist. Is it  more commercial than usual?   Our book of the week is LÁZÁR by Nelio Biedermann translated by Jamie Bulloch. This sweeping historical novel about the aristocratic von Lázár family during the 20th century from the Austro Hungarian empire through to Russian occupation is a buzzy debut which has received much praise. Patti Smith, Dua Lipa and Christian Kracht are fans.    It prompted some questions: Is One Hundred years of Solitude a good comparison? What is the meaning of the translucent skin and gothic forest? Can you spot the modern literature references (Anna missed most of them!) Here are some read-alikes if you enjoyed Lázár: Held by Anne Michaels Beddebrooks by Thomas Mann The Director by Daniel Kehlmann translated by Ross Benjamin The Radetzky March by Joseph Roth translated by Michael Hofmann Coming up: TRANSCRIPTION by Ben Lerner Follow us!

Join Pastor Hennie Bosman for part 4 of our series, 'Pray"

In a world full of noise, distraction, and nonstop schedules, Jesus invites us into a different rhythm: solitude. Through intentional moments of quiet with God, we learn to slow down, confront the lies shaping us, hear God's voice through Scripture, and experience His presence. Solitude isn't escape—it's making space to be filled by God so we can live, love, and lead from a healthy soul. Ultimately, Jesus invites every weary person to come to Him and find true rest.

Unanswered Prayers, Easter Candy, and Podcast Catch-Up with April On the podcast, Paul, Jeremy, and returning guest April banter about sampled music ("Darkest Light" by the Lafayette Afro Rock Band) and April's last era of secular rap (Master P's "Ice Cream Man"), then recap a busy Easter at church, Cadbury Creme Eggs, and expensive holiday candy. They debate drive-thru etiquette, share travel and hotel mishaps, discuss their dogs and kids' media preferences (including John Wick and Hallmark), and briefly touch on big-ticket events like the World Cup, WrestleMania, and a $5,000 Derby mint julep, plus TikTok trends like Scientology building "runs" and curiosity about the Vatican vault. The episode's main focus is wrestling with "unanswered prayers," using biblical examples (persistent widow, Hannah, Exodus, prison releases, John the Baptist, Jesus in Gethsemane, Paul's thorn) and emphasizing prayer as relationship, God's will, suffering, and practices like stillness, praying scripture, and worship music, with book recommendations from Pete Greig and Paul Miller. 00:00 Sampled Song Icebreaker 01:23 Master P Nostalgia 04:25 Easter Recap Candy Chaos 07:07 Drive Thru Thank You Debate 09:22 Milo and Dog Life Update 11:28 Ads Hallmark and Pricey Cards 13:52 Awkward TV With Teens 15:08 John Wick Talk 17:23 Kids and Screen Time 18:07 SNL Clips and Awkwardness 18:39 One Year After Flood 21:48 Dogs and Workouts 24:19 Kids Sports and Gym 25:42 World Cup Ticket Shock 27:16 Luxury Spending and Debt 29:08 Scientology TikTok Runs 31:05 Vatican Vault Mysteries 34:10 Area 51 and Secret Access 36:03 Vault Facts and Church Attic 37:24 From Jokes to Grief 39:02 What Unanswered Means 40:16 Widow and Hannah 43:39 Prayer Is Complicated 46:50 Thy Will Be Done 48:01 Suffering and Jesus 50:11 Living With Tension 54:21 Why Not You 58:41 Praying Intentionally 1:01:43 Silence and Solitude 1:03:33 Wrap Up

Today's story is all about what happens when you become infatuated with someone you don't really know. And what strange or scary things you might do in order to make real contact with that person. The story is also about youth, love of language, and what you do with all your passion when you have more energy than you know what to do with.  This story is by Jonathan Lethem. He's a writer known for novels such as Motherless Brooklyn and The Fortress of Solitude, as well as short stories, recently collected in his book, A Different Kind of Tension. While he's amazing at crafting great narrative hooks, he's also quite good at recreating the awkward moments of young adulthood, as you'll hear in today's story, "The King of Sentences." The story is read by Brendan Hunt, the longtime writer and theater actor who is best known these days for the series Ted Lasso: Hunt helped to create it, write it, and on the show, he plays Coach Beard. Stay tuned after the story for a fascinating interview between Lethem and host Aparna Nancherla about creative influences, the power and peril of parasocial relationships, and more.  Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

If we want the life of Jesus, we must adopt the lifestyle of Jesus. If we desire His public power, we must first embrace His private practices. That means stepping away while others rush in, listening when others are speaking, and moving forward when others settle for comfort. In Mark 1:35–39, Jesus revealed the rhythms that lead to a life of faithfulness and fruitfulness: solitude, resistance, and purpose.I. The Rhythm of SolitudeII. The Rhythm of ResistanceIII.

Join Pastor Hennie Bosman for part 3 of our series, "Pray"

In this message, Pastor Maggie Wakefield unpacks the power of solitude as a pathway to deep, personal encounters with God, drawing from the life of Moses and the “tent of meeting” where God spoke with him face to face. She challenges the idea that the wilderness is empty, revealing instead that it is often the place where God's voice is clearest and intimacy is formed. Through biblical examples like David, Jacob, and Jesus, she shows that transformation, identity, and direction are all birthed in moments of intentional separation with God. The message exposes the key enemies of solitude—distraction, busyness, internal avoidance, and isolation—and calls believers to reclaim a lifestyle of undistracted devotion. Pastor Maggie also provides practical steps to cultivate solitude through scheduling, separating, silencing, and staying, emphasizing that intimacy with God must be intentional. Ultimately, this message is a prophetic call to make room for God, positioning this year as one marked by holy visitations, deeper friendship with the Holy Spirit, and a move from surface-level connection into true intimacy with Him.
