Podcasts about Longing

Join Kino MacGregor, Tim Feldmann, Wade Oakley and Chandana Bhowmick as they discuss what devotion means for each of them. Finding the fuel of devotion in their practice is more sustainable than the fuel of ambition. Hear how they each found the student's heart of love in their relationship with their teachers and how they carry the flame of the practice forward today. In the yogic path, we often associate devotion with sweetness—offering flowers, singing mantras, lighting candles. But true devotion is forged in longing. Longing is love stretched out across time. It is the ache that refuses to settle for surface answers. It is the pull of the soul toward something it remembers but has not yet fully touched. This longing—this burning yearning—is not a problem. It is a sign of awakening. Many of us come to yoga not because life is perfect, but because it hurts. We come to the mat with broken hearts, old questions, unseen grief. And often, we feel that unless we are calm or wise, we cannot be truly devotional. Longing is already devotion. When you show up to practice with no guarantees, that is devotion.  When you breathe through uncertainty and stay anyway, that is devotion.  When your practice becomes the place where you cry, or break, or ask life's hardest questions—that is holy. It is not the polish of your practice that sanctifies it. It is the depth of your yearning. As students, let your questions live inside you. Don't rush to fix them. Let them ripen you. Ask not only “What can I master?” but “What do I truly seek?” As teachers, honor the longing in your students. Know that behind every posture, there is a heart that is yearning—not just to stretch—but to understand. Teach not just to instruct—but to witness, to serve that fire. We are not here to douse that fire. We are here to tend it. Practice LIVE with me exclusively on Omstars! Start your journey today with a 7-day trial at omstars.com.

If you're just trying to keep up with life—and struggling to keep up with God—you're not alone. In today's episode, I'm joined by my sweet friend Tara Sun, host of the beloved podcast Truth Talks with Tara and author of the brand-new book Overbooked and Overwhelmed. Tara opens up about her own turning point—the moment she realized she was living distracted and disconnected from God—and how she found her way back to a life rooted in Jesus, not just busyness. We talk about: The difference between the abundant life and the overcommitted life How to stay spiritually grounded when your schedule is out of control How to “live like Mary in a Martha world” The role of social media in burnout and how to steward it well Practical ways to reorient your life around Jesus again Encouragement for anyone feeling spiritually apathetic or disconnected This conversation is like a deep breath for the soul.

Psalm 143:1-12 

God speaks to each of us as he makes us, then walks with us silently out of the night. These are the words we dimly hear: You, sent out beyond your recall, go to the limits of your longing. Embody me. Flare up like a flame and make big shadows I can move in. Let everything happen to you: beauty and terror. Just keep going. No feeling is final. Don't let yourself lose me. Nearby is the country they call life. You will know it by its seriousness. Give me your hand. I was joined this episode by Chris and Elise Jones and Ali Talbot. We gathered in the warm, book-lined library at Chris and Elise Jones' home and just talked. We read Rainer Maria Rilke's poem Go to the Limits of Your Longing, and from there we let the conversation unfold naturally. We talked about suffering — not in a heavy, hopeless way, but in the way you talk when you know that pain and beauty are woven into the same thread. We explored what it means to surrender to life's difficulties instead of resisting them. We laughed about childhood memories, tofu meatloaf, and the glory of Saturday morning cartoons. We got real about trauma, caretaking, creating from heartbreak, and what it means to show up for each other when life breaks us open. This episode is about sitting with what's hard, about finding connection through vulnerability, and about how creativity — whether it's poetry, baking, music, or just making something out of pain — can save us in quiet, powerful ways. It's also about joy. Tangents. Belly laughs. Tears. Root beer ice cream sandwiches. Give it a listen. It's not polished, but it's real. And sometimes that's exactly what we need most. I'd love to hear what you have to say about the episode including thoughts on the poetry and the topics that were discussed. You can email me at poetdelayed@gmail.com.

In a culture that elevates marriage, sex, and romance as the ultimate goals, many of us are left feeling unfulfilled or sidelined. Have we unknowingly made idols out of good things? In this episode, Juli unpacks how our hearts can get entangled in false narratives—even within the Church. Whether you're married, single, or discipling others, you're invited to surrender your desires and expectations to God and find contentment on the other side.

When in Rome - "The Longing of My Heart" - Romans 10:1-17 What do you long for? What moves you? Where have you planted your affection? Paul opens his heart in Romans 10. Don't miss the power of his words, "The longing of my heart and my prayer to God is for the people of Israel to be saved." Paul didn't just have his three. Paul had his nation! These were his people. Is that the heart we have? Who are your three? Are you praying daily? Are you inviting? These needs to be at the heart of every believer and every church. This has to be our heart as a church, for our city, for our family, for the flock God has entrusted to us.

The sight left unseen is an opportunity for a missed creation of beauty and inspiration. Celebrating what is created around and through us is an unmeasurable talent without a ceiling. If you ever had the honor of reading her poetry in Hush: Breaking the Chains of Abuse (2024), Love & Longing an international anthology of poems (2023), and Cadence (2024) with her words, she comforts, loves, and inspires celebration in all that you are and have accomplished to create a new beginning.As inspiration comes through life experiences, poetry expresses those feelings with thoughtful displays of emotion. Each poetic expression ranges from nature and fun to empowerment and triumphant victory. Her words rejuvenate your spirit while opening your eyes to the openness of joy in daily life.Under the surface of each poem is a place of captivation; be mindful of “Irony of a Storm,” “Structure of Love,” “Resilience of a Bird,” “Hide and Seek,” “R.O.A.R.,” “Family Fun,” “Time Flies,” “Time Square,” “Sandstorm,” “Hope,” “I am in Love,” “Eclipsed Love,” “Quietness of a Prairie.”This is more than just a book but a reference point of education in all seasons. Once you read it front to back, it serves as a place of motivation, restoration, and celebration of your journey. From an educator of literacy, have fun, be inspired, and see the possibilities.Yasmin is purposefully intentional with her words to spark emotion to act toward a bright future.You do not want to miss the authentic rhythm of this unapologetic beacon as it shines with guidance, encouragement, cheer, and goodwill.https://www.prolificpulse.com/yasminbrown

Andy reads a prayer from way back in 2014 that talks about conflict, building, resisting sexual violence, and a longing for God.

Bonus Episode: Truth, Justice, and the Way: Superman and Spirituality Podcast    Welcome to Truth, Justice, and the Way: Superman and Spirituality, the podcast where mythology meets theology, and capes meet contemplation. In this show, we will explore what the Man of Steel can teach us about who we are, what we believe, and how we live. Through a spiritual lens, especially in the Ignatian tradition and through my own experience as a spiritual care provider in hospitals, we look at some of the deeper truths behind Superman's story—truths about calling, identity, compassion, adoption, and even the mystery of presence. This podcast is partly about fandom, but more about formation. Today, in our very first episode, we are looking at the 2025 Superman film by James Gunn and asking what the myth of Superman can reveal to us about our own deepest longings for purpose, belonging, and transformation?”   Subscribe now Share   Follow Us on Substack: https://supermanpodcast.substack.com/podcast     Your Hosts: David Dault - https://www.daviddault.com/about Rick Lee James - https://www.rickleejames.com/ SupermanAlways on Twitter/X - @RickLeeJames4   ----more---- Rick Has A Book!   Get the Audiobook, Out of the Depths: A Songwriter's Journey Through the Psalms by your host, Rick Lee James, on Audible: https://www.audible.com/pd/B0F45G6KWH?qid=1744142727&sr=1-1&ref_pageloadid=not_applicable&pf_rd_p=83218cca-c308-412f-bfcf-90198b687a2f&pf_rd_r=KEDVV78ASDMS52WQFD7W&plink=3YmaWg4y0HJ0Cjfc&pageLoadId=IaamycyuJR519uYD&creativeId=0d6f6720-f41c-457e-a42b-8c8dceb62f2c&ref=a_search_c3_lProduct_1_1%20     ----more----     Don't forget about our music sale on Bandcamp.

IN THIS EPISODE: "Paul's Longing to Visit Rome"

Delivered by Elyanne from the Parish of Saint James in the Diocese of Surabaya, Indonesia. Sirach 44: 10-15; Rs psalm 132: 11.13-14.17-18; Matthew 13: 16-17.LONGING TO SEE GOD The title for our meditation today is:Longing to See God. A long history of salvation illustrates the life and growthof the faith of those called to fulfill the will of God. Their communicationand relationship with God were manifested in the covenant that God would revealHimself as the savior of mankind. God always spoke and promised, for example toAbraham, Noah, kings and prophets, but He did not show up as a human being thatthey could meet face to face. A communication or relationship thatstill exists as a promise always gives us the consequence to wait for itsrealization. This is true with all the stories in the old testament. All thosewho accepted the promise and understood it very well can only hope in faiththat the promise of the coming of the Messiah, the awaited messenger of Godcould be realized. They all had the desire to see God. Their longing was notsomething empty but a real one, because God Himself already spoke about that,divine miracles and many other signs had really strengthened their faith in thecoming of the One sent from Heaven. But until they all died and left thisworld their dreams and wishes had not been realized. This illustration can helpus to reflect about this. There were two grandparents did not see one of theirgrandchildren to become a priest and if possible a bishop. They did not seewhat they had dreamt of. They had already died when one of their grandchildrenafter following all his formation proceses then to be ordained as a priest.This situation is similar to the people in the old testament. About these people, there are someexceptions. The scriptures only record a number of persons who did not directlyexperience the coming of the Messiah into the world. The parents of John theBaptist, Zakaria and Elisabeth should belong to this category. This includesalso the parents of Our Lady, Saint Joachim and Saint Anne, whose feast day wecelebrate today. This couple and grandparents were certainly very happy andproud because the Son of God who was born as Jesus Christ, is from the womb ofMary, their own daughter. When Jesus says, "Many prophetsand righteous people want to see what you see", He actually points this toSaints Joachim and Anne, and all other people including us, who see andexperience the incarnated God in this world. Jesus wants to say that by seeingand experiencing Himself in a real and personal way, this makes us a people sospecial and blessed. Therefore, we must be always grateful and happy. Let's pray. In the name of theFather ... O Lord Jesus, may through the intercession of Saints Joachim andAnne, we will remain faithful to You in all our lives. Glory to the Father andto the Son and to the Holy Spirit ... In the name of the Father ...

In this episode, Lian shares the ancient and evocative myth of Pygmalion, a story of longing, creation, and the mystery of what brings something… or someone… to life. Each month, Lian tells a mythical tale… as spell, as memory, as invitation... not to be analysed or consumed, but to be felt, stirred, remembered as a magical doorway into your own soul. She first shared this live with our beloved community in UNIO, our Academy of the Soul, in which we continue to journey more deeply together with it in a month-long quest. To join us for the next mythical quest, you can join UNIO here: bemythical.com/unio In this telling, Lian explores the mythic figure of Pygmalion… a sculptor who turns away from the women of his world and instead pours his longing into the creation of his own ideal. Together, we walk with her through the temple of Venus, through stone and flesh, through the spaces where our own unspoken dreams might come to life. This is more than a tale of a man and a statue… it is a meditation on what we create when we shape from love, and how the act of creating shapes us in return. It reminds us of the timeless dance between the human and the divine… how longing leads us to the altar, how offerings made in faith and beauty may yet be answered. Listeners are invited to reflect on their own sacred longings, and how these desires might be the soul's way of sculpting something real into existence. We'd love to know what YOU think about this week's show. Let's carry on the conversation… please leave a comment wherever you are listening or in any of our other spaces to engage. What you'll receive from this episode: The longing beneath creation: Pygmalion's yearning reminds us that what we create from devotion holds the power to awaken not just the object of our love, but something within us too. The mystery of transformation: As in myth, so in life… what seems lifeless may stir to breath beneath our touch, when desire meets ritual and prayer. The sacred act of shaping: Whether in art, relationships, or the soul's unfolding, we are always creating… and in turn being created. Resources and stuff Lian spoke about: Join UNIO, the Academy of the Soul: This is for the old souls in this new world… Discover your kin & unite with your soul's calling to truly live your myth.

In the interview, Mark and Johnny talk about: Johnny's return to this podcast (with neither of them being able to remember how many episodes he'd been on previously). Technically, this is his fourth time. Two previous episodes were interviews, and the other was Johnny's brief guest reflection spot in Episode 300 Why Johnny's new book THE ARTISAN AUTHOR is a much-anticipated and needed book in the industry A definition of what it means to be an artisan author, which is kind of the opposite of being a "rapid release, Kindle-only eBook" author The importance of taking away that stress-cycle of having to pump out so many books as a single prescription "how to do it" answer Remembering an important thing that, just like there is no single "the way" neither is being an artisan author The paradigm shift and mindset change that is required as a fundamental starting point How readers outside of the eBook/Kindle-only marketplace aren't as focused on lower price points and are okay with higher prices The reality of the publishing landscape in terms of the books being sold and money being earned The misinterpretation of the book Johnny and Sean Platt released years ago called WRITE, PUBLISH, REPEAT How there are two kinds of writers. The type who approach the business as trying to solve a puzzle and the type who approach it as a way of telling a story that they really want to share How a call of "go slow and make art" is not nearly as sexy as a "solution" The experience of driving off to meet a couple of long-term fans to sign and sell directly to them Connections and humanity being a key element of the artisan author experience The value of authentic connection, regardless of whether or not it's in person or online That powerful experience Johnny had doing one of his first major live book signing events as an author at Author Nation in Vegas and how that led to doing a lot more in person events The ability to adapt to a customer based on their reactions in person Look at it as connections, and then if sales happen . . . great! Being really generous with your time and attention Some of the logistics of doing an in person book signing A couple of unexpected and amusing anecdotes from selling books in person The Kickstarter that Johnny is doing for this book, which runs July 15 through Aug 14 (johnnybtruant.com/artisan) The additional "continuum of education" that Johnny is including in this Kickstarter (Artisan University) The importance of authors entering into things with conscious decisions rather than just blindly following the generic advice they've found And more . . .   After the interview Mark reflects on a few specific points from the discussion.   Links of Interest: Johnny B.

In this episode of Typology, we welcome Tracey Gee, an Enneagram 3w2 and author of the new book, The Magic of Knowing What You Want: A Practical Guide to Unearthing the Wisdom of Your Desires. Tracey shares her journey of discovering the Enneagram in her late 20s while navigating the challenges of vocational ministry and familial expectations. She reflects on how understanding her Enneagram type has transformed her approach to life, particularly in recognizing the difference between societal scripts and her authentic desires. We dive into the nuances of desire, want, and longing, exploring how these concepts can be intertwined yet distinct. Tracey shares the importance of self-awareness and the role of spiritual practices in uncovering what truly lights us up. Additionally, we touch on the unique challenges each Enneagram type faces when it comes to understanding their desires, and how to move from confusion to confidence in pursuing what truly matters. This episode is packed with insights and practical exercises to help you connect with your authentic self.

TAKEAWAYSGood Fruits of the Spirit and righteous desire can descend to sin if we make bad choicesYou must be truthful with yourself to identify your desires and whether you're pursuing them righteouslyPleasure, pursued in the light of the Holy Spirit, can be amazing and edifyingSalvation isn't fire insurance, it's a lifestyle

Spiritual traditions have deep roots and have proven themselves over centuries to produce fruit. On the path, we experience the longing of the heart, the intuition of what is possible for a human being. Longing has no conclusion, no end. Our survival instinct has a limit, but longing has no limit. It's unusual for someone to be interested in traditional spiritual training unless they are with a group of people who have experienced longing. When spiritual life becomes stronger than survival instinct, training becomes personal and we may find that we cannot work through life long obstacles on our own. Many want training on their terms. The price for training is deeply held beliefs. Traditional training has the strength and clarity to produce calm-centered knowing. Many self-announced teachers have no accountability. The fruit of longing has the quality of having no life of one's own, described in the traditions as a mood of joy, delight, relief, gratitude, and discovery. Effort is needed to develop fearlessness and mental stamina. We almost always make decisions based on invisible motivations. We pick up influences that trigger a physical and subtle response and pass them on to each other. Our choices are colored by the influences we have collected. Intuition of the Beloved can carry us. The content of spiritual traditions may no longer suit the context of cultural situations. The content falls away; the context can never fall away. The practitioner's greatest gift is to hold their seat and practice invisibly. We can develop an aim for spiritual life and make decisions based on that aim. When we're talking about traditional spiritual training, it's all about relationship. Lalitha is a spiritual teacher with an ashram in British Columbia, Canada, who was empowered by her master Lee Lozowick in 1998. Her books include Waking to Ordinary Life and Cultivating Spiritual Maturity.

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.

Thanks to the explosion of technology and social media, society is more connected than ever. Despite that, loneliness, depression, and suicide are all at epidemically high levels.

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

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?

What does it mean to hunger for Christ? In this episode of Light + Truth, John Piper opens Matthew 9:14–17 to show how fasting expresses Spirit-given desire for the glory we've only begun to taste.

The post Have you ever asked yourself what you’re really longing for? appeared first on Key Life.

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!
