Podcasts about Lonely People

Some experts are calling loneliness an epidemic in Canada and throughout much of the world. Social isolation is a public health risk with consequences for individuals, communities and for our social systems. A multi-disciplinary panel, hosted at the University of British Columbia, examine loneliness from perspectives of men's and women's health, interpersonal relations, climate change and public policy. Guests in this episode:Dr. Kiffer Card is an assistant professor at Simon Fraser University's Faculty of Health Sciences. He was the moderator of the panel presentation, All the Lonely People: the Search for Belonging in an Uncertain World.Mandy Lee Catron is from the School of Creative Writing, at UBC.Dr. John Oliffe is a professor and Canada Research Chair in Men's Health Promotion at the School of Nursing, at UBC.Dr. Carrie Jenkins is a professor in the Department of Philosophy at UBC.Dr. Marina Adshade is an assistant professor of teaching at the Vancouver School of Economics, at UBC.

The only thing scarier than an unexplained foggy handprint is bloody carnage….and this episode has both!  Our fan favorite this week is Kate! She would like to bring attention to the Christian Appalachian Project to help aid with those impacted by the recent tornados.!

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
