Podcasts about Longing

1 A wise son listens to his father's instruction, but a scoffer doesn't listen to rebuke. 2 By the fruit of his lips, a man enjoys good things, but the unfaithful crave violence. 3 He who guards his mouth guards his soul. One who opens wide his lips comes to ruin. 4 The soul of the sluggard desires, and has nothing, but the desire of the diligent shall be fully satisfied. 5 A righteous man hates lies, but a wicked man brings shame and disgrace. 6 Righteousness guards the way of integrity, but wickedness overthrows the sinner. 7 There are some who pretend to be rich, yet have nothing. There are some who pretend to be poor, yet have great wealth. 8 The ransom of a man's life is his riches, but the poor hear no threats. 9 The light of the righteous shines brightly, but the lamp of the wicked is snuffed out. 10 Pride only breeds quarrels, but wisdom is with people who take advice. 11 Wealth gained dishonestly dwindles away, but he who gathers by hand makes it grow. 12 Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but when longing is fulfilled, it is a tree of life. 13 Whoever despises instruction will pay for it, but he who respects a command will be rewarded. 14 The teaching of the wise is a spring of life, to turn from the snares of death. 15 Good understanding wins favor, but the way of the unfaithful is hard. 16 Every prudent man acts from knowledge, but a fool exposes folly. 17 A wicked messenger falls into trouble, but a trustworthy envoy gains healing. 18 Poverty and shame come to him who refuses discipline, but he who heeds correction shall be honored. 19 Longing fulfilled is sweet to the soul, but fools detest turning from evil. 20 One who walks with wise men grows wise, but a companion of fools suffers harm. 21 Misfortune pursues sinners, but prosperity rewards the righteous. 22 A good man leaves an inheritance to his children's children, but the wealth of the sinner is stored for the righteous. 23 An abundance of food is in poor people's fields, but injustice sweeps it away. 24 One who spares the rod hates his son, but one who loves him is careful to discipline him. 25 The righteous one eats to the satisfying of his soul, but the belly of the wicked goes hungry.

We begin our summer series Songs For the Road with Psalm 120—the first of the Psalms of Ascent. This raw, honest song reminds us that the road of discipleship doesn't always start with joy; sometimes it begins in distress. Pastor Matt unpacks this pilgrim prayer that cries out for justice and longs for home. And in that place of desperation, the good news rings true: God answers. He hears us, He moves toward us, and His answer—then and now—is Jesus.For more information about Integrity Church, visit our website, http://liveintegritychurch.org Connect with us on social media throughout the week to stay up to date on events and things happening at Integrity!

The Holy Evil War is getting ready to pop off, as we get a lot of world building from Griffith's apostle-infused side of the battle: He has giants, he has superpowered men, he has shadowy supernatural assassins, all set to...liberate Midland? He's trying to be the savior of the world, using his powers of The Prince of Longing to make his new subjects fall in love with him. Also, Farnesse has another existential crisis, but this one is full of hope and acceptance as she navigates her new purpose in life, and, for now, leaves the despair behind her.

Han Cheung, the man behind Taiwan in Time, the long-running history column in the Taipei Times, returns to tell the story of Taiwan's first pop star. Liu Ching-hsiang 劉清香  was singing Taiwanese opera in the late 1920s. A few years later, under the stage name Chun-Chun 純純, she became Japanese Formosa's first recording star — the voice behind dozens of hits and the breakout anthem “Longing for the Spring Breeze.” Hear how Columbia Records and a savvy movie tie-in made her a household name, and learn more about the 1930s, which, when it comes to music, was perhaps the most “progressive” decade of the 50 years of colonial rule.Pics links, and info at formosafiles.com

From the use of bamboo scaffolding for construction projects to a six-decade-old public housing estate, changes are afoot. Synopsis: Every first Friday of the month, The Straits Times catches up with its foreign correspondents about life and trends in the countries they're based in. Hong Kong’s bamboo scaffolding is immortalised in many a Jackie Chan flick, with heroes and baddies fighting it out while teetering on poles. But the city has been gripped in what Hong Kong correspondent Magdalene Fung says is an almost “visceral fear” over a recent government edict to reduce the use of bamboo in construction projects due to safety concerns. ST foreign editor Li Xueying catches up with her over a similar debate arising over the would-be demolition of Choi Hung, Hong Kong’s first large-scale public housing project completed in the 1960s. Having undergone the social turmoil and political changes of recent years since the 2019 protests, Hong Kongers are seeking comfort in the things that can remain the same - and quietly protesting the changes coming their way.

C.S. Lewis once wrote, “If I find in myself desires, which nothing in this world can satisfy, the only logical explanation is I was made for another world.” Ryan Ingram explains why everyone has a longing and restlessness for something more. Join him in Genesis chapter 2 as he describes the perfect environment God created for Adam and Eve and why, since sin entered the world, our hearts ache to be reunited with our Creator.Main PointsWhat do I do about the ache within me?

We see two people today, Simeon and Anna, who are overcome when they see Jesus as a baby. These are people who have been waiting, most of their adult lives, to see Him. They knew the Lord was sending a Messiah, and they longed to see Him. They longed to experience Him. They longed to know Him.  How about us? Today, in our regular lives, do we long to see Jesus?  Do we long to know Jesus?  Do we long for Jesus?  They did, and they were overwhelmed when they finally saw Him. Today, are we the same?  Are we longing for Jesus?

In today's conversation, Mark, Christine, and Jon dive into a surprising—and deeply honest—topic that emerged from last summer's Ag Leaders Summit: the desire for peace. Not more success. Not more productivity. Just peace. But what does that actually mean? And how do you truly access it when your life feels like a nonstop pressure cooker?This episode is a raw, real exploration of what it looks like to break free from the chaos-driven operating system and step into a life where peace becomes the standard—not the exception.Key Takeaways:Peace is Not the Absence of Activity—It's a State of BeingMany high performers are unknowingly addicted to chaos. True peace isn't found in stillness alone, but in learning to operate from a grounded place, even when life is full.Most People Don't Know How to RestLeaders often equate peace with laziness or loss of control. But peace isn't passive—it's powerful. And it begins with re-training your nervous system to slow down and be present.False Peace vs. True FreedomWe often pacify our anxiety with temporary fixes—alcohol, work, scrolling. But real peace can only be accessed through presence, surrender, and intentional choices—not sedation.The PRAY FrameworkChristine shares a simple but powerful tool for cultivating peace:Pause (pattern interrupt)Reflect (what actually matters?)Ask (yourself, God, others)Yield (submit to the peaceful way forward)Notable Quotes:“Peace is quiet joy. And joy is peace expressed out loud.” – Christine Jewell“You can't operate from chaos and expect to produce clarity.” – Mark Jewell“Peace doesn't mean no movement. It means presence in the process.” – Christine Jewell“You're not a machine. And even machines need rest.” – Jon Anderson“We've made pressure our home base. It's time to make peace our new normal.” – Christine JewellAction Steps:Start recognizing your current operating system—are you driven by peace or by pressure?Practice the PRAY Framework daily: Pause, Reflect, Ask, YieldDefine what peace actually looks like for you—emotionally, mentally, and spirituallyRevisit Colossians 3:15—Let peace be the deciding factor in your choices this weekListen If You Are:A high-achieving leader who feels exhausted, scattered, or constantly “on”Longing for rest but unsure how to access it without guiltReady to trade anxiety and striving for clarity, peace, and presenceCurious about spiritual tools and frameworks that go deeper than quick fixesIf this episode resonated with you, join us at the next Thriving Leader Event — where intentional leadership goes from theory to practice. Connect with like-minded leaders and build the clarity, confidence, and capacity you need to grow your people and business.

On the 128th episode of the What is a Good Life? podcast, I'm delighted to welcome our guest, Shai Tubali, Ph.D. Shai is a philosopher, author, and teacher whose work bridges mysticism and academic philosophy. He explores how expanded states of consciousness can transform individual lives and influence our collective future.Shai holds a doctorate in the philosophy of religion and his academic publications include The Transformative Philosophical Dialogue (Springer, 2023) and Cosmos and Camus: Science Fiction Film and the Absurd.

We can be Christians yet not really be living. But Jesus said He came that we might have life—and life to the full! Sometimes we get so concerned with technology, AI, politics, and work that we forget to nurture our relationships with Christ. But we have been made alive in the Spirit of God! And God wants to commune with our spirits. We can have peace and joy when we embrace a life filled with Jesus!

Today we're diving into the heart of disciple-making. In this episode, Josh shares how a sermon by Dawson Trotman called "Born to Reproduce" changed his life. His mentor, Coach Dave Craft, introduced him to this impactful message, which highlights three main hurdles to spiritual reproduction: immaturity, sin, and lack of intimacy with Jesus. First, immaturity. Sometimes we think we're mature, but if we're not reproducing disciples, we need to grow more spiritually. Second, sin. Disobedience acts like a spiritual disease, hindering us from making disciples. Lastly, lack of intimacy. Without a close relationship with Jesus, we can't bear spiritual fruit. Josh realized these barriers were holding him back and addressed them head-on, encouraging all of us to do the same. Jason chimed in, comparing the longing to make disciples to the deep desire couples have for children, urging us to be just as passionate. The discussion shifted to the idea of blooming where you're planted. No need to wait for perfect conditions! Josh shared an inspiring story about a sunflower thriving in an unlikely spot, emphasizing that we can flourish spiritually anywhere. Jason shared a story about his friend Tim Palmer, who started a business despite obstacles, illustrating that we should stay faithful and trust God's timing. The episode wraps with a call to action: say 'yes' to Jesus now and join Him in the mission. Let His joy and guidance lead you to make a real impact right where you are. Check out discipleship.org for more resources, and let's get to work making disciples! Bless you guys!

Each generation has its own sexual signature. Our grandparents, by law, were only allowed to make love in the cold light of day, our parents were exclusively into group stuff and ass play, so where does that leave us? Longing, yearning to forge our own sexual path. In this episode we explore what another generation has to teach us about blasting chunk.

In the early 2000s, New Atheism was all the rage. Many people left faith behind, convinced they didn't need religion. But it turns out society hasn't been able to meaningfully replicate the benefits of church. In a recent New York Times article, Lauren Jackson describes how secularism sought to build transcendent community through means like yoga, CrossFit, SoulCycle, meditation and more. Despite these efforts, the data show that there is overwhelming empirical support for the value of being at a house of worship on a regular basis. In this episode, we discuss Jackson's article, and especially her poignant conclusion: "My spiritual longing hasn't been sated by secularism... I want a god."(0:00) Introductions: Camille from Long Island's Donut Drop(2:00) Why America Is Revisiting Faith(5:05) How Secularism Has Tried (and Failed) to Meet Our Needs(16:57) Longing for “Inconvenient” Community(22:31) Christian Community Provides the Meaning We Long For(28:50) Be More Outgoing About What You BelieveArticle: https://www.nytimes.com/2025/04/18/style/religion-america.html

IN THIS EPISODE: In this episode of Between Sundays, Tyler, Maron, and Barry return to the Gospel of Matthew (chapters 8–9) to talk tax collectors, table fellowship, and the transforming power of Jesus' mercy. What does it mean that Jesus called someone like Matthew, a despised collaborator and social outcast, to follow Him? Why did Jesus share a meal with "sinners and scum"? And what do ancient customs like reclining at the table, status symbols, and mercy over sacrifice still teach us about following Jesus today? We're diving deep into Week 9 of the Follow Me series at Grace Church, unpacking: - Jesus' absolute authority and radical inclusion - The cultural and spiritual weight of eating together - Why Matthew's calling is a turning point in God's new kingdom - Hosea 6:6, mercy vs. sacrifice, and what that means for church today - What it looks like to extend mercy even to the people we judge... or just don't want at our table Plus, we tackle a bunch of big questions: - What makes someone open to mercy? - Is mercy optional for Christians? - Can churches be built on mercy instead of sacrifice? - Did tax collectors choose their path—and could they quit? We also answer a few fun mailbag questions, including: - What's your most-used emoji? - Where do you go in Scripture on hard days? - Favorite Between Sundays moment from 300 episodes!

Have you ever felt like you're falling behind in life? Like everyone else is getting married, starting families, launching ministries, or stepping into their callings—while you’re still waiting? If so, you are not alone. And more importantly, you’re not too late. This week on The Love Offering podcast, I had the joy of speaking with Rebecca George about her new book, You’re Not Too Late: Trusting God’s Timing in a Hurry-Up World. In a culture that tells us to hustle, strive, and “make it happen,” Rebecca offers a beautiful invitation to wait well—to rest in God's presence, release resentment, and find joy in the meantime. Together, we talk about: How to bring our disappointments honestly before God Finding contentment even when our desires are unmet How to turn envy and doubt into deeper trust Forming life-giving habits that help us flourish in every season If you're in a season of longing or wondering when it will be your turn, I know this episode will speak to your heart. Because you’re not behind. You’re exactly where God wants you—and He is never late. Gratefully,Rachael P.S.

John Starke preaches from Song of Songs 1:1-4, beginning our sermon series "Communion with Christ".

6 And the angel said to me, “These words are trustworthy and true. And the Lord, the God of the spirits of the prophets, has sent his angel to show his servants what must soon take place.”7 “And behold, I am coming soon. Blessed is the one who keeps the words of the prophecy of this book.”8 I, John, am the one who heard and saw these things. And when I heard and saw them, I fell down to worship at the feet of the angel who showed them to me, 9 but he said to me, “You must not do that! I am a fellow servant with you and your brothers the prophets, and with those who keep the words of this book. Worship God.”10 And he said to me, “Do not seal up the words of the prophecy of this book, for the time is near. 11 Let the evildoer still do evil, and the filthy still be filthy, and the righteous still do right, and the holy still be holy.”12 “Behold, I am coming soon, bringing my recompense with me, to repay each one for what he has done. 13 I am the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end.”14 Blessed are those who wash their robes, so that they may have the right to the tree of life and that they may enter the city by the gates. 15 Outside are the dogs and sorcerers and the sexually immoral and murderers and idolaters, and everyone who loves and practices falsehood.16 “I, Jesus, have sent my angel to testify to you about these things for the churches. I am the root and the descendant of David, the bright morning star.”17 The Spirit and the Bride say, “Come.” And let the one who hears say, “Come.” And let the one who is thirsty come; let the one who desires take the water of life without price.18 I warn everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: if anyone adds to them, God will add to him the plagues described in this book, 19 and if anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God will take away his share in the tree of life and in the holy city, which are described in this book.20 He who testifies to these things says, “Surely I am coming soon.” Amen. Come, Lord Jesus. 21 The grace of the Lord Jesus be with all. Amen.1.     Do the final words of Revelation strike you as anti-climactic? 2.     Does it build confidence for you that Revelation is scripture that it so closely charts out the history of Christianity in the Roman Empire, before it happened?3.     How much of your mindset is ‘receive', and how much is ‘achieve'?4.     What are you trying to prove? Do you trust that you can receive that from Jesus, free of cost?5.     What are your objects of worship on a moment by moment, day to day basis?6.     Do you ever feel like maturity means needing God less? 7.     What can you do in your life to grow your longing for Jesus?

Spiritual awakening may feel more like a sigh than a celebration. In this episode, Raghunath and Kaustubha explore why our most profound encounters with beauty—whether through art, music, or moments of stillness—are often blended with a kind of sweet ache or longing. Could that aching sensation be a clue? A sign that the soul is remembering something sacred? Through the lens of bhakti yoga, they unpack the idea of Viśvātmā—God as the soul of the universe—and how real connection is not found through constant searching outward, but by turning within. Key Highlights: •⁠  ⁠World-renowned geneticist sees the experience of beauty as something beyond neurochemistry •⁠  ⁠Why our most “transcendent” moments may come with a lump in the throat •⁠  ⁠Are we spiritually searching… or just spiritually shopping? •⁠  ⁠How the ache of beauty can be more real than our most comfortable beliefs This is a conversation about art, longing, and the quiet pull toward something eternal—one that might already be inside you.
