Podcasts about in the midst

When we're kids, before we get to school and start to get hemmed in by society's expectations, we don't have the inhibitions that start to follow us around and start to influence our words, our actions, the clothes we wear, the way we cut our hair (although that's not really been an issue for me for decades). I think this is also relevant in music –artists wrestling with breaking new ground or out of a genre for, for example, fear of alienating fans and it can make their music feel like their soul isn't really in it. I do get the reasons why – sometimes! Personally, I've struggled myself over the years with inhibitions, worrying about what people think and it can be debilitating.Brad's music feels extremely uninhibited and completely natural, putting its languid groove on, meandering its way through the haze that makes you stop and think about how the fuck have we sleep walked into allowing our lives to be so complicated. His music makes me think of what humanity means, it's the sound of friends, partners, acquaintances, strangers, slowing life down so it can be enjoyed, lighting the candles, singing, talking, drinking, eating crisps… in that after hours bar, wherever.His latest record is called In The Midst of You and it's out on 26 January and it's my favourite of his.https://www.iwannajumplikedeedee.comI Wanna Jump Like Dee Dee is the music podcast that does music interviews differently.

Liverpool-based singer-songwriter, Brad Stank, explains why when it comes to making music, he needs to feel it in order to write it. He also delves into the meaning behind recent single, Natty Wine, taken from his romantic new album, In The Midst of You.

Jim is a pastor, coach, author, and a speaker who has a story to tell. He wrote (in The suffering guy. book) about his story not being the one he would have written for himself... he would have written something way cooler. "Why couldn't I be the 'my family owns an island guy'? That would absolutely crush at a party!" Instead his story is full of suffering, as his wife became seriously ill 3 months into marriage. It's been a long and hard road in the 15 years since, but God has shown them a pathway toward hope and an understanding that victory does not come in isolation. This is a story that he feels a great calling to share with others who are facing their own "expectation gaps." This is what he does professionally now: He give away free coaching for guys and couples who are suffering in the expectation gap.

In The Midst of a Pandemic, and during the most Chaotic year in recent history, There was One Highlight..... THE WHOLE HOOD WAS UP!!! (

This is the last episode of the year!!!! We can’t believe we’ve made it this far IN THE MIDST of a pandemic! With that being said, we discuss the pros and cons of experiencing the holidays in lockdown! Let us know on social media what you miss (or don’t) about the Christmas season.

Inside the Episode with Mitch Hampton “I confess I tend to lay it on pretty thick when making self deprecatory jokes about all the many things I claim to not be able to do well, whether it is drawing or, not able to do at all in the case of our current episode any kind of sculpture. In this particular episode I happen joke about how I am "impaired" in seeing objects in three dimensional space for example, and sing the praises of Beth and Rob Magnum in their "visual intelligence" and their ability to turn out beautiful and handcrafted works of pottery. But all joking aside, my point in all of this is actually more far reaching. My point is never to judge or compare in a thumbs up/thumbs down juvenilia. Rather, my aim is a philosophical one: to emphasize that are as many different paths as to the way of art as there are ways of being in the world. That, although all the arts are one, nevertheless the arts come in many different mediums of expression. There is nothing I love more than spending quality time with people who have skills that I personally lack. Not only do I learn an enormous amount about what it is like to walk in another's shoes, I am also reminded that there are no "little things" in art and nothing can be taken for granted. Being in the physical space of Magnum Pottery and hearing heir life stories was to me what our podcast is all about. I hope you enjoy listening to it every bit as much as I enjoyed bring there. “ More about Mangum Pottery: Nestled into the Blue Ridge mountains Of Buncombe County near Asheville, North Carolina lies the historic town of Weaverville. Stroll down Main Street and you may wander into this working pottery studio. As you step into the gallery you’ll see displays of pitchers, teapots, and tableware next to hand built vases, ceramic furniture and banjos. Beyond the wares are craftsmen hard at work.

This month we’ve been considering doubt. What better time than a pandemic to be forced to face those things that send us down the path of unbelief? On this episode, Natalie and Vera get real with you and discuss their own repetitive doubts, such as:“God, what in the are you doing in all of this?” and “How can I live out my calling right now?” They talk about how God has both a plan and a calling for all of us IN THE MIDST of this pandemic. Our lives and our calling aren't on hold. They just look different than we expected.Our April Verse is: I do believe; help me overcome my unbelief!

Julie is an amazing, certified yoga teacher and mother of two. She got her start in the brick and mortar world of gyms, and slowly transitioned to the online world of training and teaching. She enjoys yoga (of course!), as well as tennis and reading. Julie has experienced anxiety, weight loss, and mindset shifts on her journey. She shares that in her life, anxiety and weight have gone hand in hand. Ever since her early teens, Julie has dealt with anxiety. She explains that it felt like a light switch flipped and everything was suddenly “heightened”. This feels like such an accurate description to me! It took years to piece together the connection between eating, anxiety, and everything else going on. Julie attributes therapy, mediation, and yoga as having had a huge healing effect in her life. In fact, it was after her first yoga class that she finally experienced a quiet mind - no more mind chatter! It was as if the elephant on her chest was gone, and she experienced the first taste of what it could be to have her anxiety lift. This is also when she started to see her true self, with so much less negativity and judgment. Although yoga was initially something she pursue primarily for physical fitness, it didn’t take long for her to realize that yoga was about so much more than just exertion. The feeling she had after completing an aerobic class was really different than the feeling she had after completing a yoga class. As an entrepreneur, Julie shares a bit about her journey with undercharging and over-giving, as well as the burn out that results from that. Learning to value her skills, education, and talent allowed her to begin charging in a way that honored both herself and her clients. She reminds us to value ourselves and our gifts - balance is vital when it comes to business and life! Another note: self-care doesn’t have to be about hours in the spa. Waking up and doing 5 minutes of yoga, or taking some deep breaths and setting an intention for your day, can be powerful acts of self-care too. If you feel like you’re constantly running on a treadmill -- try slowing down. You can choose to do that! Hit the slow down button, recenter yourself, and give yourself some space to breathe and check in. It only takes a few glimpses to realize that you NEED those moments for yourself. Share also shares that the more she uses her strengths and gets to know who she is, the closer the gets to who she really is. I love the idea of moving TOWARDS yourself on your journey to growth, rather than trying to reinvent a bigger, better version of yourself. Instead of escaping yourself, you’re becoming yourself. It’s a beautiful thing!   FUN THING: Julie is providing a guided meditation and worksheet for a course I’ll be launching next month, called In The Midst!

It is written in Mesechta Berochos (17/a); When R' Yochanan would conclude the study of the book of Iyov, he said the following: A person will ultimately die and an animal will ultimately be slaughtered, for all are destined for death. Praiseworthy (Ashrei) is he who grew up in Torah, whose labor is in Torah, who gives contentment and joy to his Creator, who grew up with a good name and who leaves the world with a good name. Shlomo (the king) said (Koheles 7/1): “A good name is better than fine oil, and the day of one's death than the day of one’s birth”. Zera Shimshon asks, firstly, exactly what is R' Yochanan referring to when he says Praiseworthy is the man... who gives contentment and joy to his Creator? The phrase, "Who grew up in Torah and whose labor is in Torah is very straightforward; praiseworthy is the man who learns a lot of Torah. However, "who gives contentment and joy to his Creator" is very general and it is not clear what it means. Does it mean that he did a lot of mitzvos in general, he has special intentions when he learns Torah or doing mitzvahs, or does it mean something else? R' Yochanon doesn't specify.Secondly, what does the phrase, "Praiseworthy is one... who grew up with a good name and who leaves the world with a good name" mean. Seemingly having a good name or not is not dependent on the person himself but rather on the way other people look at him. If so, how can we use other people as an indicator of oneself? It is surely possible for a tzaddik not to be liked by bad people and a wicked person can be liked by many people!He answers in light of a passage in Messechta Makkos. In our parsha it is written that a person who killed someone by accident runs to the Eir Miklat (a refugee city) for an atonement and in order that the relatives of the one who was killed will not kill him to avenge their murdered relative's blood. He stays there until the Cohain Gadol or some other special Cohanim pass away and only then can he leave.The Mishna in Makkos (11a) comments that since the freedom of the killer is dependent on the passing away of one of these Cohanim, the mothers of these Cohanim brought food and clothing to the ones confined in the refugee cities so they will be comfortable and not pray that their sons will die. The gemorro infers from this that if they would have prayed for the Kohanim's death Hashem would accept their prayers. The Gemorro asks; how can this be? It is written in Mishlei (26/2); As the wandering sparrow, as the flying swallow, so to a curse that is baseless shall come home”. Meaning a baseless curse is not effective and does no harm. What did these Cohanim do to deserve to die? The gemorro answers that the Cohanim should have pleaded for mercy for their generation (that no one will be killed) but they didn't.According to this, Zera Shimshon explains, R' Yochanon who said; "Praiseworthy is the one.... who gives contentment and joy to his Creator" is referring to a Tzaddik who constantly prays for the welfare of his generation. Chazal teach us (Yevamos 64a) that Hashem yearns for the prayers of tzaddikim and therefore one who constantly prays to Hashem causes Hashem to be content and joyful.The praise that R' Yochanon gives to one "who grew up with a good name" is also referring to the Tzaddik who prayers for the welfare of his generation. It doesn't mean, though, like we originally translated that he grew up WITH a good name and that people liked him but rather it means that he grew up IN THE MIDST of good names. Meaning, that since he prayed for his generation that there will be no calamities and Hashem accepted his prayers, it must be that the people of his generation were righteous.

And the Egyptians were busy burying (their dead) because Hashem had struck down their firstborn and had wrought vengeance against their gods. (Bamidbar 33/3-4)Zera Shimshon asks why are these two incidents, that the Egyptians buried their dead and that Hashem destroyed their gods, written together in the same possuk (possuk 4)? Seemingly they are two unrelated events that happened to happen at the same time. He answers in light of Rabeinu Bechiya in Parshas Bo who writes that on the night of makkos bechoros the Mitzryaiim were so involved with all of their dead that they didn't even realize that their gods were also destroyed. Only the next morning, when they went to their places to worship did they grasp what happened to their gods. According to this, reasons Zera Shimshon, we can understand the connection between their burying of the dead and the destruction of their gods. It was at the time that they buried their first borns next to their places of worship did they see what had happened to their gods. (In previous generations cemeteries were situated next to places of worship.) Since only at the time of burial did they actually grasp what happened and felt the loss of their gods the two incidents are written According to this, Zera Shimshon answers a different question. In the first possuk (possuk 3) it says, "on the day following the Pesach (sacrifice), Bnei Yisroel left triumphantly before the eyes of all the Egyptians." The fact that the possuk mentions that Bnei Yisroel went out of Mitzrayim "the day after" and "in front of the Egyptians" indicates that it was not incidental that we left Mitzrayim in the daytime and in front of the Mitzrayiim. Rather Hashem specifically wanted the Mitzrayim to see us leaving. He asks that if this was Hashem's intent then seemingly it would have been better for us to leave in the night, right after makkos bechoros. Firstly, at that time it was "in front of the Mitzrayiim" since at that time they were driving us out of Mitzrayim. Secondly, there was a disadvantage to wait until the morning; after all the bechoros died there was a good chance that Paroah would go back on his promise to let Bnei Yisroel leave, just as he did in the previous makkos. However according to the above, reasons Zera Shimshon, it is very understandable. Hashem that we will see that the pain of the Mitzrayiim when they saw the uselessness of their gods. However, at night they still didn't grasp what really happened. Hashem therefore waited for "the day following the Pesach (sacrifice)" when they felt the pain of their loss to take us out in front of them. Conlcudes, Zera Shimshon, this is also why there was no concern for Paroah to go back on his promise. Since only in the morning did he actually feel the pain of losing his gods, it was as if that was time of the plague.In the merit of learning the Torah of Zera Shimshon Esther Yenta Bas Chana ChassiaandNechama bas Menucha Shainashould find a zivvug hogun speedily.The learning of Zera Shimshon should be L'iylui NishmasR' Aharon Ber ben Chaim Eliyahu (Lipson)Feigga bas Shlomo (Sadler) ---------------------------------------3--------------------------------It is written in this week's Haftorah, "What wrongdoings did your forefathers see in Me that they distanced themselves from Me.."Zera Shimshon asks why did Hashem mention that the reason that the Jewish Nation "distanced themselves" from Hashem (i.e. stopped keeping His mitzvos) was because they thought that Hashem did some wrongdoing? Why didn't He just rebuke them that they distanced themselves from Him?He explains in light of a very interesting ruling of the Shulchan Aruch (Yoreh Daya 236/6). The Shulchan Aruch rules that two people who make an agreement between each other, and one of them breaks the agreement then the other one is automatically exempt from his commitment. For instance, a man and a lady swore that they would marry each other by a certain date. When that date arrived one of the parties willfully ignored the agreement and simply didn't show up. Since one of the parties didn't "keep their part of the bargain" then the other party is exempt from the agreement and is allowed to get married to someone else. However, the one who didn't keep the agreement is still bound by the oath and cannot marry someone else.This is only until the other person didn't get married to someone else. After the second party married someone else, since now they didn't "keep their part of the bargain", then the one who broke the agreement is also annulled from the oath. There is a covenant between the Jewish Nation and Hashem. The Jewish Nation swore to keep all of Hashem's mitzvos and not to worship avodah zarah. Correspondingly, Hashem swore to the Jewish Nation that He would never abandon them and that He won't exchange them for another nation. According to this Zera Shimshon explains the above possuk from the Haftorah. When Hashem saw the Jewish Nation leave the Torah way and worship Avodah Zara He asked them "What wrongdoings did you see in Me". Meaning, if I would have abandoned you and not kept My part of the covenant, then I would understand why you worshipped avodah zarah (in accordance to the above ruling of the Shulchan Aruch). If this was the case Hashem would not have rebuked them.However Hashem said that He blessed our forefathers. And even after we didn't fulfill our part of the covenant and we worshipped avodah zarah and you didn't keep Hashem's commandments in Mitzrayim, He continued to keep His promise and He gave us great riches when He took us out of Mitzrayim.

It is written inMesechta Berochos(17/a); WhenR'Yochananwould conclude the study ofthe book ofIyov, he said the following:A person will ultimately die and an animal will ultimately be slaughtered, for all are destined for death.Praiseworthy (Ashrei) is he who grew up inTorah, whose labor is inTorah,who gives contentment and joy to his Creator,who grew up with a good name and who leaves the world with a good name.Shlomo(the king) said (Koheles7/1):“A good name is better than fine oil, and the day of one's death than the day of one's birth”.Zera Shimshonasks, firstly, exactly what isR'Yochananreferring to when he says Praiseworthy is the man... who gives contentment and joy to his Creator? The phrase, "Who grew up inTorahand whose labor is inTorahis very straightforward; praiseworthy is the man who learns a lot ofTorah. However, "who gives contentment and joy to his Creator" is very general and it is not clear what it means. Does it mean that he did a lot ofmitzvosin general, he has special intentions when he learnsTorahor doingmitzvahs, or does it mean something else?R'Yochanondoesn't specify.Secondly, what does the phrase, "Praiseworthy is one... who grew up with a good name and who leaves the world with a good name" mean. Seemingly having a good name or not is not dependent on the person himself but rather on the way other people look at him. If so, how can we use other people as an indicator of oneself? It is surely possible for atzaddiknot to be liked by bad people and a wicked person can be liked by many people!He answers in light of a passage inMessechta Makkos.In ourparshait is written that a person who killed someone by accident runs to theEir Miklat(a refugee city) for an atonement and in order that the relatives of the one who was killed will not kill him to avenge their murdered relative's blood. He stays there until theCohain Gadolor some other specialCohanimpass away and only then can he leave.TheMishnainMakkos(11a) comments that since the freedom of the killer is dependent on the passing away of one of theseCohanim, the mothers of theseCohanimbrought food and clothing to the ones confined in the refugee cities so they will be comfortable and not pray that their sons will die.Thegemorroinfers from this that if they would have prayed for theKohanim'sdeathHashemwould accept their prayers. TheGemorroasks; how can this be? It is written inMishlei(26/2); As the wandering sparrow, as the flying swallow, so to a curse that is baseless shall come home”.Meaning a baseless curse is not effective and does no harm. What did theseCohanimdo to deserve to die?Thegemorroanswers that theCohanimshould have pleaded for mercy for their generation (that no one will be killed) but they didn't.According to this,Zera Shimshonexplains,R'Yochanonwho said; "Praiseworthy is the one.... who gives contentment and joy to his Creator" is referring to aTzaddikwho constantly prays for the welfare of his generation.Chazalteach us (Yevamos64a) thatHashemyearns for the prayers oftzaddikimand therefore one who constantly prays toHashemcausesHashemto becontent and joyful.The praise thatR'Yochanongives to one "who grew up with a good name" is also referring to theTzaddikwho prayers for the welfare of his generation.It doesn't mean, though, like we originallytranslated that he grew up WITH a good name and that people liked him but rather it means that he grew up IN THE MIDST of good names. Meaning, that since he prayed for his generation that there will be no calamities andHashemaccepted his prayers, it must be that the people of his generation were righteous.In the merit of learning the Torah of Zera ShimshonEsther Yenta Bas Chana ChassiaandNechama bas Menucha Shainashould find a zivvug hogun speedily.The learning of Zera Shimshon should be L'iylui NishmasR' Aharon Ber ben ChaimEliyahu (Lipson)Feigga bas Shlomo (Sadler)-------------------------------------------------2-----------------------------------------------וַיִּסְעוּ מֵרַעְמְסֵס בַּחֹדֶשׁ הָרִאשׁוֹן בַּחֲמִשָּׁה עָשָׂר יוֹם לַחֹדֶשׁ הָרִאשׁוֹן מִמָּחֳרַת הַפֶּסַח יָצְאוּ בְנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל בְּיָד רָמָה לְעֵינֵי כָּל מִצְרָיִם: וּמִצְרַיִם מְקַבְּרִים אֵת אֲשֶׁר הִכָּה יְדֹוָד בָּהֶם כָּל בְּכוֹר וּבֵאלֹהֵיהֶם עָשָׂה יְדֹוָד שְׁפָטִים: (במדבר לג/ג-ד)They journeyed fromRamesesin the first month, on the fifteenth day of the first month; on the day following thePesach(sacrifice),Bnei Yisroelleft triumphantly before the eyes of all the Egyptians. And the Egyptians were busy burying (their dead) becauseHashemhad struck down their firstborn and had wrought vengeance against their gods. (Bamidbar33/3-4)ZeraShimshon asks why are these two incidents, that the Egyptians buried their dead and thatHashemdestroyed their gods, written together in the samepossuk(possuk4)? Seemingly they are two unrelated events that happened to happen at the same time.He answers in light ofRabeinu BechiyainParshas Bowho writes that on the night ofmakkos bechorostheMitzryaiimwere so involved with all of their dead that they didn't even realize that their gods were also destroyed. Only the next morning, when they went to their places to worship did they grasp what happened to their gods.According to this, reasonsZera Shimshon, we can understand the connection between their burying of the dead and the destruction of their gods. It was at the time that they buried their first borns next to their places of worship did they see what had happened to their gods. (In previous generations cemeteries were situated next to places of worship.) Since only at the time of burial did they actually grasp what happened and felt the loss of their gods the two incidents are writtenAccording to this,Zera Shimshonanswers a different question. In the firstpossuk(possuk3) it says, "on the day following thePesach(sacrifice),Bnei Yisroelleft triumphantly before the eyes of all the Egyptians." The fact that thepossukmentions thatBnei Yisroelwent out ofMitzrayim"the day after" and "in front of the Egyptians" indicates that it was not incidental that we leftMitzrayimin the daytime and in front of theMitzrayiim. RatherHashemspecifically wanted theMitzrayimto see us leaving.He asks that if this wasHashem'sintent then seemingly it would have been better for us to leave in the night, right aftermakkos bechoros.Firstly, at that time it was "in front of theMitzrayiim" since at that time they were driving us out ofMitzrayim.Secondly, there was a disadvantage to wait until the morning; after all thebechorosdied there was a good chance thatParoahwould go back on his promise to letBnei Yisroelleave, just as he did in the previousmakkos.However according to the above, reasonsZera Shimshon, it is very understandable.Hashemthat we will see that the pain of theMitzrayiimwhen they saw the uselessness of their gods. However, at night they still didn't grasp what really happened.Hashemtherefore waited for "the day following thePesach(sacrifice)" when they felt the pain of their loss to take us out in front of them.Conlcudes,Zera Shimshon, this is also why there was no concern forParoahto go back on his promise. Since only in the morning did he actually feel the pain of losing his gods, it was as if that was time of the plague.In the merit of learning the Torah of Zera ShimshonEsther Yenta Bas Chana ChassiaandNechama bas Menucha Shainashould find a zivvug hogun speedily.The learning of Zera Shimshon should be L'iylui NishmasR' Aharon Ber ben ChaimEliyahu (Lipson)Feigga bas Shlomo (Sadler)---------------------------------------3--------------------------------It is written in this week'sHaftorah, "What wrongdoings did your forefathers see in Me that they distanced themselves from Me.."Zera Shimshonasks why didHashemmention that the reason that the Jewish Nation "distanced themselves" fromHashem(i.e. stopped keeping Hismitzvos) was because they thought thatHashemdid some wrongdoing? Why didn't He just rebuke them that they distanced themselves from Him?He explains in light of a very interesting ruling of theShulchan Aruch(Yoreh Daya236/6). TheShulchan Aruchrules that two people who make an agreement between each other, and one of them breaks the agreement then the other one is automatically exempt from his commitment.For instance, a man and a lady swore that they would marry each other by a certain date. When that date arrived one of the parties willfully ignored the agreement and simply didn't show up. Since one of the parties didn't "keep their part of the bargain" then the other party is exempt from the agreement and is allowed to get married to someone else. However, the one who didn't keep the agreement is still bound by the oath and cannot marry someone else.This is only until the other person didn't get married to someone else. After the second party married someone else, since now they didn't "keep their part of the bargain", then the one who broke the agreement is also annulled from the oath.There is a covenant between the Jewish Nation andHashem. The Jewish Nation swore to keep all ofHashem's mitzvosand not to worshipavodah zarah. Correspondingly,Hashemswore to the Jewish Nation that He would never abandon them and that He won't exchange them for another nation.According to thisZera Shimshonexplains the abovepossukfrom theHaftorah.WhenHashemsaw the Jewish Nation leave the Torah way and worshipAvodah ZaraHe asked them "What wrongdoings did you see in Me". Meaning, if I would have abandoned you and not kept My part of the covenant, then I would understand why you worshippedavodah zarah(in accordance to the above ruling of theShulchan Aruch). If this was the caseHashemwould not have rebuked them.HoweverHashemsaid that He blessed our forefathers. And even after we didn't fulfill our part of the covenant and we worshippedavodah zarahand you didn't keepHashem'scommandments inMitzrayim, He continued to keep His promise and He gave us great riches when He took us out ofMitzrayim.Only afterHashemmentioned that He never broke the covenant with us was He able to rebuke the Jewish Nation for their breach of the covenant and distancing themselves from Him!In the merit of learning the Torah of Zera ShimshonEsther Yenta Bas Chana ChassiaandNechama bas Menucha Shainashould find a zivvug hogun speedily.The learning of Zera Shimshon should be L'iylui NishmasR' Aharon Ber ben ChaimEliyahu (Lipson)Feigga bas Shlomo (Sadler)HaRav Shimshon Nachmani, author of Zera Shimshon lived in Italy about 300 years ago in the time of the Or HaChaim HaKodesh.The Chida writes that he was a great Mekubal and wrote many sefarim including sefarim about “practical kabbolo" and asked that all of his sefarim be buried after he passes away except for Zera Shimshon and Niflaos Shimshon on Avos.HaRav Shimshon Nachmani had one child who died in his lifetime (hence the name "Zera Shimshon") and in the preface he promises for people who learn his sefarim after he dies “...

Everyone is susceptible to discouragement from time to time. See the lessons that David learned form working through his own discouragement. The post In The Midst of Our Discouragement, God is There (1 Samuel 21 -22) first appeared on The Oasis.

An Affair of Outposts was first published in the San Francisco Examiner, December 19, 1897. It was republished in In The Midst of Life (1898).

In our society it is typical for people to assume that you either have joy or you have pain. The two generally don't intermingle. However, in Scripture we are taught something completely different. We are told over and over that it is possible to experience tremendous joy IN THE MIDST of pain. In fact, we are commanded to do so. While pain, heartache and trials are very real during our very short journey on this planet, it is essential that during these times we fight with all we are to experience the joy that God would have for us.
