Podcasts about life giving

Today on Speaking Out of Place I talk with Leanne Betasamosake Simpson about her new book, Theory of Water.  Theory of Water is a rich, complex, and deeply personal reflection on world-making and life-giving processes best captured in the fluidity of water as it circulates through all our bodies and the planet.  It is a largely collective project that enlists our listening and love, and helps us face the violence of all forms of dominance, enclosure, and containment.  We are especially gifted to have the chance to listen to one of the songs from Leanne's album, Theory of Ice, and have her comment on it and the relation of her music to her writing.  This is a particularly special episode of Speaking Out of Place.Leanne Betasamosake Simpson is a Michi Saagiig Nishnaabeg scholar, writer, and musician.  She is the author of eight previous books, including the novel Noopiming: A Cure for White Ladies, which was short listed for the Dublin Literary prize and the Governor General's award for fiction. Leanne's album, Theory of Ice, released by You've Changed Records in 2021 and short-listed for the Polaris Prize and she was the 2021 winner of the Prism Prize's Willie Dunn Award. Her latest project Theory of Water was published by Knopf Canada/Haymarket books in the spring of 2025.  Leanne is a member of Alderville First Nation.

In today's shorter devotional episode, I'm sharing a refreshed blog post that reminds us of the life-giving role the Lord has entrusted to us as Christian women. True peace in our homes doesn't come from having everything just right or crossing off our to-do list. It comes from Christ reigning in our hearts. The more we abide in Him—through His Word, prayer, and obedience—the more His peace flows into how we love and serve our families.

All throughout both the Old and New Testaments, we see a clear pattern of people in Scripture turning to prayer and fasting in times of uncertainty, brokenness, and need. And in those examples, we find that prayer and fasting are not just religious obligations but natural responses to desperation. And we find that moments of crisis can lead to spiritual renewal when approached with humility and dependence on God. And we find that whether you and I are facing the unknown road ahead or the ruins of life, the invitation is to pray and fast, recognizing that our deepest hunger can only be satisfied by God.

The world loves stories that end with a "happily ever after", yet there are many situations where this doesn't ring true. The story of the cross seemed like a story that ends in a tragedy and heartbreak, we see hope quickly being lost. It is heartbreaking when we put ourselves in the shoes of Mary, and the disciples who are watching their beloved leader brutally murdered, where is the hope? Where is the happily ever after? Before we jump ahead to the empty tomb, we have to hear the sorrow of the Savior on the cross as He hangs in my place and yours, so that we can have the happily ever after that He has purchased for us with His blood. Listen closely, the cross is still speaking, it invites you to the Savior's sorrow so you can have sinless joy.

Send us a textMind renewal was never meant to be complicated, exhausting, or just another spiritual checklist. Yet many believers have turned this life-giving practice into legalism, self-help, or an overwhelming to-do list, missing its true power. Instead of striving to earn God's favor through mental exercises, we are invited into something far greater—alignment with God's perspective, bringing peace rather than pressure.True mind renewal refreshes the soul rather than depleting it. It's about thinking God's thoughts after Him, allowing His Word and Spirit to transform us. When we stop striving and simply receive the mind of Christ, we experience a gift, not a burden—a daily invitation into God's presence that brings joy, contentment, and lasting change.

In our latest Musings From The Mount episode, we explore what happens beneath the surface of that spiritual maxim we reference in nearly every conversation: "energy follows thought." What exactly is this energy, and how does thinking actually shape our reality? Drawing from Agni Yoga teachings, we examine how "psychic energy" functions as the primary force flowing through all of us. This isn't mystical fortune-telling but rather the fundamental current that powers creation itself. Michael explains how our thoughts function like magnetic charges that attract and manifest what we focus on - for better or worse. The conversation takes a practical turn as we discuss how this understanding applies to everyday life. We look at why self-pity and doubt can cut off our energy flow, and why beauty and gratitude can restore it. As we face a world filled with divisive rhetoric and self-centered power struggles, this episode offers a timely perspective on how we might become "forces for good" rather than sources of toxicity. The wisdom here is simple yet profound: how we condition the energy flowing through us directly affects the world around us. True power emerges not from self-serving ambition but from allowing ourselves to become channels for something greater.

In this message, Pastor Aaron highlights three key qualities of life-saving and life-giving friendships: sacrifice, loyalty, and encouragement. True friendships require sacrificial commitment, like Jonathan's willingness to give up his future for David. A loyal friend speaks well of you both in your presence and absence, while an encouraging friend lifts you up, just like David's support from Jonathan and the Holy Spirit's role in our lives.
