Podcasts about intentions

Day 2 of the Twelve Days of Yule is here and today's free gift is a good one.

Are the ten plagues just divine punishment? Or are they intended to form a people? In this episode, Dr. Dru Johnson sits down with Dr. Rick Wadholm and Pastor Dalton Avery, co-authors of Plagued by Faith, to explore a more layered vision of the plague narratives in Exodus. Rather than merely acts of judgment, the plagues are portrayed as formative, disruptive events that unmake Egypt's religious, political, and economic worldview—and detach Israel from it. The Nile River, Egypt's source of life, is turned to blood not only to confront Pharaoh, but to sever Israel's spiritual dependence on Egypt. The calendar is reset at Passover, reorienting the people's very sense of time and community. These acts weren't random—they were theological statements shaping Israel's identity, even while challenging Egypt's gods . As Dalton notes, “The Lord is not out here just doing violence for no reason, but there's redemptive heart, there's redemptive intent in every action of the Living God” . Rick adds, “Behold the face of God who sends plagues… somehow to offer a re-visioning of these stories as revealing this God”. We are listener supported.

In this next episode of Southside Rabbi, KB and Ameen dive into one of the hardest truths to face — that good intentions don't erase bad outcomes. From church culture to personal relationships, the team unpacks how pride and self-justification can keep us from simply saying, “I'm sorry." The conversation moves into exploring how “Evangelical sincerity culture” taught many to equate right motives with actual righteousness, ignoring the harm that sincere actions can still cause. They discuss what it means to take responsibility for our head, hands, and harm — not just what we meant, but what actually happened. With humor, humility, and real talk, KB and Ameen call believers to reject pride, embrace accountability, and rediscover the kind of love that's not unwilling to apologize. Because following Jesus means caring more about people's pain than protecting your own pride. Hold onto your butts for this one, forreal!

Hey friends, Chase here This time of year, I get a lot of messages from folks ready for change — they've declared an intention, they want the next chapter, but something's holding them back. Some have the ideas and energy but no system to ship. Others have the systems but aren't listening to the quiet that tells them what to build next. Different gaps, same problem: without space to reflect and a mindful plan to act, momentum stalls. Here's the truth most people ignore: Intentions are the spark — but they won't transform your life without quiet, synthesis, and daily practices that turn ideas into meaningful work. You can declare you're "a creator" all you want, but without adventures that feed your curiosity, habits that produce work, and a practice of listening and asking questions, your intentions stay inspirational notes instead of real projects. If you only scribble ideas and never synthesize, they evaporate. If you only measure outcomes and never give yourself quiet, you miss the intuition that points to what's worth doing. In today's episode: Why setting an intention matters — and how to approach it mindfully instead of rushing into action The seven practical steps to turn end-of-year reflection into real momentum: adventures, consuming culture, making, scribbling, sharing, asking, and listening A simple way to track your work so progress becomes inevitable, not accidental Enjoy — and remember: this season of reflection is not for doing nothing; it's for slowing down just enough to do the right, often uncomfortable, work that actually moves you forward.

Before culture shaped our beliefs, God designed who we are, how we're meant to live, and the spiritual authority we're called to walk in. If you've felt disconnected from God's purpose or unsure of what He intended for you, this teaching will help realign your heart and renew your confidence in His design. Lean in as we explore identity, dominion, and what it truly means to live the way God intended from the start. The Roads Church - https://theroads.church

TEXT US A COMMENT!Most men don't fail because they have bad intentions. They fail because they trust their intentions more than their actions. In this episode, we expose the dark side of intention and how meaning well can still cause damage, how effort becomes self-deception, and why behavior and execution is the only thing that builds a man. Stop deceiving yourself and Close the gap. QOTD: “The road to hell is paved with good intentions.”SOTD: Proverbs 14:12 (ESV)“There is a way that seems right to a man, but its end is the way to death.”WHAT IS IT?  The self-deception of intention.believing that a good heart, sincere effort, or emotional desire equals action. It doesn't. The behavior builds a man.TACTICAL APPLICATION STEPS1. Expose It:Name one area where you've hidden behind “I meant well.”2. Align It:Hold that intention against Scripture. If it doesn't align, kill it.3. Execute It:Finish one thing this week you've been “meaning to do.”Execution is the antidote to self-deception.DANGEROUS FOCUS FOR THE WEEKStop trusting your intentions.

It's great being a good and decent person but when you're not loved and appreciate it causes problems for yourself. It's a clear sign of immaturity but most people think because they're taking care of their business and doing the right thing that they're mature, when they're not. It's okay to mean well but good intentions don't mean anything to a person who doesn't care about you and only enjoying the benefits that you provide!Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/relationships-and-relatable-life-chronicles--4126439/support.

Dating doesn't have to be stressful and overly demanding if both partners are fully invested in it to the point that they can already see their future together as a couple.

Episode 232 — "Intentions and Attitudes." In this episode, I dig into why an attitude of gratitude actually works on your brain and your day-to-day experience. We talk about the lower "caveman brain" (seek pleasure, avoid pain, conserve energy), confirmation bias (what you focus on grows), and how setting intentions ahead of time can shape the attitudes you'll have later—in district meetings, at family gatherings, on the mission, and post-mission. I share simple ways to direct your higher brain to look for connection, faith, abundance, calm, and purpose—especially during Thanksgiving week when emotions and expectations can run high. I also explore how prayer functions as powerful intention setting—expressing gratitude and asking for blessings tells your brain what to pay attention to while inviting divine help. We connect this with Doctrine & Covenants 29: creating things spiritually first (in thought and feeling) so they're more likely to appear physically in your life. Whether you're a preparing missionary, currently serving, a returned missionary, or a missionary mama, you'll get practical tools to train your focus, regulate emotions, and choose thoughts that fuel connection over comparison. You'll leave with doable practices: pre-deciding what you want to notice, choosing language your brain understands ("I want more peace" vs. "I don't want stress"), and building a simple gratitude rhythm that resets perspective fast. If you're ready to experience more calm, clarity, and Christ-centered confidence this season, this conversation on intentions and attitudes will help you create it. As always, if you found this episode helpful, I want to invite you to subscribe if you aren't already, share this episode with your friends and missionaries you know, and write a review. I know this work will help LDS missionaries around the world and it would mean so much to me if you did.

The Climate Change agenda has shifted far beyond environmental concerns. What's sold as “saving the planet” has become a global movement aimed at controlling personal freedom, restricting property rights, driving inflation, and reshaping society through ideological narratives rooted in early Marxist thought.In this powerful episode of The Truth Central, Dr. Jerome Corsi speaks with Brian Sussman, author of Climate Cult: Exposing and Defeating Their War on Life, Liberty, and Property. Together, they uncover:✔️ The Marxist origins of Climate Change activism✔️ How modern environmentalism evolved into a political cult✔️ Why elites push policies that damage free nations✔️ How “climate justice” became a tool for wealth transfer and social control✔️ The global network behind today's Climate Change agenda✔️ Why so many followers defend the movement despite overwhelming factual contradictionsThis is a deep investigation into how the “Climate Crisis” narrative became a weapon against liberty — and why exposing it is essential for preserving free societies.

The universe hums a low, steady note...or so we were told. Dr. Patrick Vanraes, a plasma physicist from the University of Antwerp, joins us in that quiet static, where light and truth blur at the edges. We talk of cosmic beginnings, instrument design, of warmth beneath the skies, of radio echoes mistaken for the birth of everything. In that hum, between curiosity and doubt, the cosmos seems to ask who's really paying attention.CORRECTION NOTE: Dr. Robitaille wishes it to be known that when he says "titanium" on our phone call he should have said "titanium dioxide."PATREON https://www.patreon.com/c/demystifysciPARADIGM DRIFThttps://demystifysci.com/paradigm-drift-showHOMEBREW MUSIC - Check out our new album!Hard Copies (Vinyl): FREE SHIPPING https://demystifysci-shop.fourthwall.com/products/vinyl-lp-secretary-of-nature-everything-is-so-good-hereStreaming:https://secretaryofnature.bandcamp.com/album/everything-is-so-good-here00:00 Go!00:03:51 What is the Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation00:10:44 Historical Development of the Big Bang Theory00:16:09 Conflicting Theories: Big Bang vs. Steady State Model00:17:33 The Redshift-Distance Relationship and Its Explanations00:21:12 Current Challenges in Understanding Light Behavior00:25:45 Reevaluating the Big Bang Theory Pillars00:27:50 The Discovery of Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation00:31:56 Temperature and Black Body Radiation00:37:46 Implications for Gaseous Bodies and the Standard Model00:46:16 Big Bang Theory and Plasma Dynamics00:50:46 Cosmic Microwave Background Discovery00:54:15 Pierre Marie Robitaille's Theories00:58:40 Intersection of MRI and Astrophysics01:06:02 The Nature of Black Body Radiation01:09:45 Discussion on Emissivity and Lattice Structures01:16:44 Exploring CMB Radiation01:28:07 Water's Role in Radiation Theories01:31:36 Discussion on Water Sources for Cosmic Measurements01:32:57 Historical Context of Cosmic Background Measurements01:35:53 Focus on Anisotropy Maps01:37:39 Philosophical Confusion in Cosmology01:39:31 Intentions and Measurement Biases01:45:18 Measuring Temperature Differences in Space01:51:14 Evolution of Cosmic Measurement Techniques01:52:51 Cyanogen Measurements and Cosmic Microwave Background01:58:03 Exploring the COBE Satellite's Measurements02:02:36 Critique of Measurement Protocols in Cosmology02:06:45 Summation of Arguments#astrophysics, #bigbang, #planck #cosmicbackgroundradiation , #astronomer , #fusion #quantumphysics #universefacts , #spaceexploration , #astronomy , #cosmos , #demystifysci #physicspodcast #philosophypodcast MERCH: Rock some DemystifySci gear : https://demystifysci-shop.fourthwall.com/AMAZON: Do your shopping through this link: https://amzn.to/3YyoT98DONATE: https://bit.ly/3wkPqaDSUBSTACK: https://substack.com/@UCqV4_7i9h1_V7hY48eZZSLw@demystifysci RSS: https://anchor.fm/s/2be66934/podcast/rssMAILING LIST: https://bit.ly/3v3kz2S SOCIAL: - Discord: https://discord.gg/MJzKT8CQub- Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/DemystifySci- Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/DemystifySci/- Twitter: https://twitter.com/DemystifySciMUSIC: -Shilo Delay: https://g.co/kgs/oty671

Ahmad Fouad Alkhatib discusses the high probability of renewed conflict in Gaza, arguing that the ceasefire is fragile due to Hamas's malign intentions. He estimates Hamas's combat-effective forces are significantly lower than reported (3,000 to 5,000, versus 15,000 to 30,000), noting Hamas pays fighters $20 to $25 a day. He also challenges polls showing widespread Gazan support for Hamas, arguing such results are manipulated and defy logic given the catastrophe following October 7. Disarmament is crucial for any future political process. 1898

(Insight Meditation Society - Retreat Center) Teachings and Guided Practice on working with Intention

Finishing the 4th chapter, with a new mishnah: A sacrifice is slaughtered for the sake of 6 things -- all of which are far less tangible than the animal itself. The kohen's intentions have been preoccupying the Gemara for all these chapters, but now the shift, at the very end, is to the owner's intentions - that is, those of the person offering the sacrifice, even though it's handled professionally, as it were, via the kohanim. Also, starting the 5th chapter, with a new mishnah: The worship of certain sacrifices, from slaughter to collecting of blood to sprinkling of blood, needs to be specifically located in the Temple - in the northern part of the courtyard. To the extent that failing to do so correctly disqualifies the offering. But if the disposal of the blood is not as prescribed, it won't disqualify the offering. Specifically, the bull and the goat of Yom Kippur. Plus, what seems to be the carcasses would be removed to the ash pile outside of the Temple.

PREVIEW HEADLINE: International Silence on US Venezuela Intentions Analyzed; Opposition Tied to Concerns Over US Hegemony, Not Maduro's Defense GUEST NAME: Mary Anastasia O'Grady, Americas Columnist, Wall Street Journal Editorial Page 50-WORD SUMMARY: Mary Anastasia O'Grady analyzes the silence from capitals regarding the US intention to help elected leaders restore Venezuela. She notes that opposition to regimes like Maduro is weak because his track record is indefensible. However, louder objections are anticipated if there is a "strike on land" or if the US successfully restores its influence in the region, as this opposition is fundamentally about challenging US hegemony. 1876 Bolivar enters Caracas
