Are you lonely? Have you recently lost a loved one? Are you struggling to connect with others? God didn't create us to live in isolation. He created us to live in community. On this episode of THE VERDICT, Pastor John Munro shares what the Bible has to say about overcoming loneliness.

In recent years, many people have suffered from the pain of loneliness: loneliness in isolation, loneliness from the loss of a loved one, or loneliness from finding it difficult to connect with others. On this episode of THE VERDICT, Pastor John Munro explores what the Bible says about loneliness.

This week we're discussing Lonely People with Power, the latest album by Deafheaven. We've been massive fans of Deafheaven for years, but 2021's Infinite Granite had us split down the middle. Lonely People with Power shows the band returning to black metal in a massive way, shattering any assumptions people may have had that they are now a full-blown shoegaze band. Once again Deafheaven proves they are more than capable songwriters and continue to experiment in innovative ways. Crank this one.   -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------   Patreon https://www.patreon.com/everyalbumever   Merch https://pandermonkey.creator-spring.com/   Mike's EP: Pander Monkey on Bandcamp, Spotify, Apple,   Mike on Instagram @pandermonkey Alex on Bluesky @octatron3030 Tom on Instagram @tomosmansounds   History Tom's stuff: Music on Spotify, Apple Podcast on Spotify, YouTube Substack Website

This week the fellas discuss the brand new album from Deafheaven, the fantastic Lonely People With Power!

On this week's Out Of Ten, it's an eclectic one, as we review new (but all good) albums from Deafheaven, Japanese Breakfast, Men I Trust, and Wallows! For tracks, it's a poppy one as we check out all the new tracks released from Miley Cyrus' upcoming album, and new tracks from Laufey, Wet Leg, Kali […] The post Episode 321 – Lonely People With Power appeared first on Out Of Ten Podcast.

The superb Deafheaven, always welcomed by the COMPLETELY REASONABLE gatekeepers of Death Metal, sound reborn on their masterpiece sixth album. The only questions being, is it their best release yet? (possibly) and is it my album of the year so far? (yes).

Blackheaven certainly has earned a reputation within the community but that tends to happen when you become a success in an otherwise small field and with the rise of the Black Metal genre, a style that is very extreme, in recent years it was no surprise that a more accessible band kind of serves as a stepping stone. Anyway their latest effort is amazing and really doesn't hold back on any punches. Tune in to hear my thoughts on this new album

We're back with "All the Lonely People," a series diving deep into how loneliness shows up in our lives. This week: can tech cure our loneliness? Companies like Meeno (an AI relationship coaching app), Peoplehood (a platform that organizes guided group conversations), Timeleft (an app which matches strangers for dinner), and Bumble for Friends all say they want to help people make more and better connections. But do we need tech solutions to what may partially be a tech problem? Brittany sits down with Sam Pressler, who studies community and social connection at the University of Virginia's Karsh Institute of Democracy, and Vauhini Vara, veteran tech reporter and author of the upcoming book Searches: Selfhood in the Digital Age, to break it all down.Learn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy

We're back with "All the Lonely People," a series diving deep into how loneliness shows up in our lives. This week: is the men's loneliness epidemic overblown? There's been a lot more attention on loneliness in the past few years, with special attention on men's loneliness. And some men definitely are lonely: according to a recent Pew survey, 16% of men say they're lonely all or most of the time. But so are 15% of women. So why are we so concerned about men? What launched the narrative about men's particular loneliness? And if the problems men are having don't boil down to loneliness, what do they boil down to? Brittany is joined by Vox senior reporter Allie Volpe and Harris Sockel, writer and content lead at Medium, to break it all down.Learn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy

The CDC and Surgeon General recently released reports highlighting twin epidemics that are plaguing young people in our country.  For boys, it's loneliness and social isolation; for girls, it's persistent sadness and hopelessness.  Why are young people so sad and lonely?  Mark and Joe discuss whether loneliness is inheritable, how much of the blame we can pin on the distorted view social media provides of reality, and how, in the land of plenty, we can help our kids get the one thing they need the most: human connection. (Recorded September 6, 2024.)

Q: Where do all the lonely people belong? A: Psalms 68 How are you doing today? Are you feeling lonely? Loneliness is feeling alone no matter how much social contact you may have, and it's one of the scariest feelings in life. We were all designed to be in relationships; belonging is the most fundamental human need beyond food and shelter. Today, we will leave the shadow of loneliness and ask God to help us connect.

Episode 2225: Dr. Kelly Flanagan explores the profound impact of loneliness on marriage, suggesting that instead of eradicating loneliness, marriage should be a space where partners reveal and share their loneliness. This vulnerable connection can foster real love and deep companionship, transforming how we relate to each other and bringing light to a lonely world. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://drkellyflanagan.com/marriage-is-for-hopelessly-lonely-people/ Quotes to ponder: "Marriage is not meant to be the place where our loneliness is taken away. It's meant to be the place where we reveal our loneliness to another." "Real love is two souls, lonely by nature and nurture, caring enough for themselves and each other to make their loneliness tangible to the other." "You may feel hopeless to fix it, but filled with the hope that comes from being joined in it." Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

The friendship of the LORD is for those who fear him,      and he makes known to them his covenant.My eyes are ever toward the LORD,      for he will pluck my feet out of the net.Turn to me and be gracious to me,      for I am lonely and afflicted.The troubles of my heart are enlarged;      bring me out of my distresses.Consider my affliction and my trouble,      and forgive all my sins. Psalm 25:14–18Support the show, a product of Hope Media: https://hope1032.com.au/donate/2211A-pod/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On This Episode:LONELINESS AND POLITICSNew York Times Editorialist and author (one of my favorites) David Brooks has a new book out. One revelation is how people are using politics (instead of church) for morality, community, and feelings of making an impact. That's a substitution that will ruin us. CAREFUL WHO GETS YOUR EARSSome commentators tell you you're living under a tyrannical, treasonous regime. I tend to think we're living under godless, very mediocre people with bad ideas. The first option brings panic and fear. I think you should avoid those people. MATH LEADS TO GODI want to play a clip from an atheist mathematician whose work is making him conclude there is more than the material universe.

Pastor Jack Graham brings a message from the Help! series, looking to Psalm 102, titled All the Lonely People. Loneliness is a part of the human condition, but there are times when it attacks us and overcomes us, Pastor Graham teaches. This is when we must draw near to the Lord and a community of believers instead of isolating, he teaches. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/395/29

All the Lonely People with Ryan Streeter and Francie BroghammerWhy is it, in the midst of relative peace and prosperity, we are increasingly alienated, lonely, and depressed? Even before we lived through a global pandemic, we were (and are) living through a deadly loneliness epidemic.In this conversation Ryan Streeter and Francie Broghammer join us to wrestle with tough questions such as how to think about reinvigorating relational and community ties that encourage the flourishing of both the individual and the body politic.We discuss the antidotes to isolation in a time of pandemic and strive to find hope for connecting lonely people in a divided and polarized nation: Loneliness is the subjective feeling of being alone. You can feel alone in a crowded room. And so this is important that we highlight because what happens when you start feeling that way is that not far from there is this inability to find meaning in your life and daily actions. - Francie BroghammerWe hope this conversation on America's epidemic of loneliness and the path towards meaningful connection inspires you to consider how you can further cultivate enduring friendships and engage with your community.Our podcast is an edited version of an Online Conversation with Ryan and Francie from April, 2021.

The Burden of Living and the Goodness of God with Alan NobleWe don't often talk about the courage required to face ordinary life. Such common human challenges as sorrow, despair, anxiety, and mental illness may cause us to experience life more as a burden than a gift. For many, this struggle is a constant one.In his new book, On Getting Out of Bed: The Burden & Gift of Living, author and professor Alan Noble considers the challenges that face each one of us every morning. He concludes that the simple decision to engage with the world each day constitutes a declaration of the goodness of God.“One of the things I want to remind people of is that actually just by choosing to go through the basic motions of life, you are affirming to other people that this life is good.“And just putting your feet on the ground and getting up despite the suffering you might be experiencing, communicates to other people that this life is worth living even when you are suffering. And that's a powerful witness.”Bearing witness and Carrying Each OtherAs Alan so eloquently makes the case, our call to faithfulness is not a solo journey. When we persevere despite our suffering, we communicate that God's creation is good, and it's an encouragement to others. It's by carrying and being carried by others that the pilgrim can make it home.“Now, there may come times when you are required by your suffering to radically depend upon others to carry you out of bed. My advice is to embrace those moments, knowing that you'll carry your neighbor in return when the time comes.”We hope you'll enjoy this conversation and share it with your community.This podcast is an edited version of an Online Conversation with Alan recorded in April of 2023.
