Podcasts about Longing

You finally understand something about yourself. Something that took months of therapy to even name. And now you need someone else to get it too.This week we're talking about that longing, where it comes from, why it can feel so urgent with certain people, and what happens in your body when the conversation doesn't go the way you hoped. We'll cover emotional flashbacks, the fight flight freeze fawn response, and the difference between being understood and being agreed with. Plus, what's actually yours to hold onto when someone doesn't meet you where you're at.This episode is for anyone who has ever tried to explain their trauma response to a friend, a partner, or a family member and walked away feeling more alone instead of less.Thanks for listening to The Complex Trauma Podcast!Be sure to follow, share and give us a review on your favorite podcast platform.Follow on Instagram: @sarahherstichlcsw Follow on TikTok: @sarahherstichlcswLearn more about EMDR & trauma therapy in Pennsylvania with Reclaim TherapyThis podcast is for educational and informational purposes only.

Today’s conversation explores the profound and transformative topic of DELIGHT—what it means to truly delight in God and, perhaps even harder to believe, what it means that God DELIGHTS in you. Our special guest, Stephanie Rousselle of Gospel Spice, is a Bible teacher, author, and founder of the Gospel Spice ministry. With her signature warmth (and lovely French accent!), she unpacks how the Christian faith is meant to be both flavorful and vibrant—not bland, boring, or stale. You’ll learn why delight isn’t merely a fleeting feeling, but a spiritual reality you can awaken to, even in the hardest seasons of life. In This Episode: What is REAL delight?Stephanie Rousseau explains how the French word "délice" weaves together both "delight" and "deliciousness," inviting us to taste and see the goodness of God (04:23). The problem with vanilla testimonies:Heather Creekmore shares how she used to think her story was “vanilla,” and how Stephanie reframes the idea that every faith story is a reason for delight (05:45). Eating disorders & delight:Why is it so hard for many women to see deliciousness as a good gift from God? Learn how our relationship with food often mirrors our relationship with delight, shame, and God (06:43). “Awaken Delight”—Satisfying Your Soul’s Longing for God:Discover why Stephanie chose the phrase “awaken delight” and how this perspective moves us from duty to genuine enjoyment of God (10:53). Does God really LIKE you?We discuss how Scripture invites us to go beyond intellectual acceptance to heartfelt experience, resting in God’s unwavering delight in us—even on our worst days (18:21). Moving from duty to delight:Are you stuck in a checklist, “onward Christian soldiers” mindset with God? Stephanie Rousselle shares how awakening delight brings you from drudgery to vibrant, embodied relationship (15:41).

He loves and enjoys you on your best and worst days. Delighting in God isn’t something you force; it’s something you AWAKEN to. Every story of coming to Jesus is DELICIOUS—never “vanilla” or boring. Understanding delight can transform both your spiritual life and your everyday experiences—the sensory, the beautiful, and even the hard. If you feel stuck in spirituality as duty, or if you wrestle with your sense of “delightfulness,” this episode is for you.

Have you ever worried that you’ve disappointed God? Maybe you know intellectually that He loves you, yet past rejection, painful relationships or years of striving have made His delight difficult to experience. Bible teacher and Awaken Delight author Stephanie Rousselle shares how her own childhood wounds and performance-driven thinking created a disconnect between what she knew about God and what she could receive from Him. Jennifer and Stephanie discuss the difference between knowing God loves us and living as if that truth is real. They explore why our failures don't surprise God, how confession can deepen rather than threaten our connection with Him, and how receiving His forgiveness and delight can free us from shame and exhausting spiritual striving. Discover how God can bring His truth into our wounded places and teach us, over time, to rest more securely in His love.

Join us as we explore the worldwide phenomenon behind the revival of Homer's 3000-year-old story, the kaleidoscopic and hallucinogenic return of Odysseus to Ithaka, the Greek island that has become an icon for home itself. There is the immense beauty of the poem itself and the historical importance of Homer's accomplishment, but what does the story mean to us now, how can it help illuminate the chaos of our lives today? Composed by the Poet Known as Homer, around 650 BC, it was based on a story about the Trojan War that was already hundreds of years old. Since then, the story about the hallucinogenic adventures of Odysseus, his son Telemachus, and wife Penelope have cast a spell over cultures around the world, haunting poets, playwrights and philosophers, and taunting the efforts of archaeologists, linguists and now filmmakers to render it in modern terms. Our conversation will explore the myriad life lessons of Homer's masterpiece that have inspired readers, listeners and now viewers for millennia, with a focus on the central theme of the nostoi, the return stories of ancient Greek soldiers, adventurers, philosophers and scientists coming home, and the wider question of what home meant to the ancients—and what home means to us now, the most rootless people in recorded history. Along the way, we will have an animated exchange about the wide range of translations, from Alexander Pope, T. E. Lawrence, and E. V. Rieu, to Richard Lattimore, Emily Wilson and Daniel Mendelosohn. Finally, we will playfully review the myriad movie versions, from George Melies' four-minute version in 1905, to the 1956 Ulysses with Kirk Douglas, and the freshly minted Odyssey helmed by Christopher Nolan.   Finally, there is the surprising realization that it is five female characters (Penelope, Athena, Calypso, Circe and Nausicaa) who helped guide Odysseus homeward, and the centuries-long influence on art, literature and cinema. Join us for a celebration of the soul-saving power of this ancient Greek tale, which sings of the aftermath of a savage war and the restoration of our hero's home, all the while insisting on need to say “yes” to life.  About the Speaker Phil Cousineau is the author of The Wisdom of the Odyssey and over 40 other books, including the bestselling The Art of Pilgrimage, and The Hero's Journey: Joseph Campbell on His Life and Work.

Lead Pastor Josh Carstensen continues our series on Mark.Mark ends in a surprisingly abrupt way. The tomb is empty. The women are afraid. And there are still many unanswered questions. Which is actually a pretty good picture of what it can feel like to follow Jesus.Sometimes life is uncertain, and the best thing we can do is simply stay close to Him. Sometimes following Him is both amazing and a little terrifying.And sometimes we're more like Peter. We've failed, we're carrying shame, and we wonder what Jesus thinks of us now.But tucked into the resurrection story are two simple words: "and Peter." Jesus hadn't forgotten him. He wasn't done with him. In fact, He was already ahead of Peter, waiting for him where it all began.And that's exactly where Jesus meets us too.Thank you for listening to this message from Northwest Hills Community Church in Corvallis, Oregon, on August 30, 2026, at 10:30am.

Firaq Gorakhpuri was born on 28 August 1896 as Raghupati Sahaay Firaq. On his birth anniversary, we return to a poet who changed how love could be written about in Urdu. Firaq writes of ishq, but also of what accompanies it: desire, qurbat, longing, loneliness, memory and dard. What sets him apart is the attention he pays to these emotions. He doesn't just describe them; he looks closely at what they do to us. In this episode, we follow some of his best-known verses and his deeply personal nazm “Jugnu” to grasp a sense of Firaq's world, his life and the many shades of love that run through his poetry. Perhaps, along the way, we will better understand how he revolutionized Urdu poetry by blending classical Urdu romance with modern psychology and Eastern philosophy. Learn more about your ad choices.

Wild animals carry a raw, simultaneous presence of beauty and danger that is difficult to fully articulate, which is exactly what makes the picture in Isaiah 11 so stunning. A wolf living with a lamb. A leopard resting beside a goat. A little child leading them all. These pairings shatter every assumption we hold about the natural order of things. They are describing something that has never existed in a fallen world. A day is coming when the knowledge of the Lord will fill the earth as the waters cover the sea, and in that day, radical and complete peace will come to all of creation. No more fear, no more power struggle, no more tooth and claw. The everlasting reign of Jesus will bring the peace that every corner of creation has been groaning for. For now, we live in the in-between. We catch glimpses of that coming reality in our friendships with animals, in moments of unexpected beauty in the natural world, and in the steady trust that what is broken is not forever. All shall be well. Today's Bible Verse "They will neither harm nor destroy on all my holy mountain, for the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the Lord as the waters cover the sea."— Isaiah 11:9, NIV Ponder Today The stunning pairings in Isaiah 11 are meant to shatter our assumptions. Wolf with lamb. Leopard with goat. Child leading them all. God is describing something so far outside our current experience that it can only arrive with the fullness of His knowledge filling the earth. We live in the in-between of here but not yet. The promise of Isaiah 11 is future, but we are not without glimpses of it now — in the animals we love, in moments of beauty in nature, and in every act of peace and care we extend to the world around us. The current brokenness of creation is not its final state. Romans 8 tells us that creation itself groans, waiting for redemption. That groan is not hopeless — it is the groan of something that knows restoration is coming. Waiting faithfully means making the most of opportunities to promote peace right now. We cannot bring Isaiah 11 into full reality, but we can be agents of the peace it describes in the lives and world around us while we wait for the One who will. A Prayer for You Today Root of Jesse, Scripture speaks of a coming day when You will rule in peace and righteousness, when the world will be filled with the knowledge of You and all will confess that Jesus is Lord. With Your rule, peace will come to all of creation. I long for this day when wars will cease, humans will live in harmony with Your good creation, and death will die. Right now, I find myself in the in-between of here but not yet. Help me wait in faithfulness, making the most of my opportunities to promote peace in the lives and world around me. May I live with steady trust that the current brokenness of creation is not forever. Peace is coming. And so I trust, in the words of Julian of Norwich, that all shall be well. In Jesus' name, Amen.

What if spiritual growth isn't about trying harder to become a better Christian? Michael Easley sits down with longtime friend and pastor Charlie Boyd to discuss the abiding life and what it means to live from the inside out. Charlie shares how his understanding of Christianity changed after decades of ministry. He once approached spiritual growth through discipline, rules, information, and striving. Over time, he discovered that abiding in Christ means something different. Jesus doesn't call us to manufacture spiritual fruit through greater effort. He calls us to remain connected to Him. In this conversation, Michael and Charlie explore what it means to “preach the gospel to yourself,” read Scripture slowly, meditate on God's Word, practice silence and solitude, and recognize the Holy Spirit's work in our everyday lives. They also discuss Galatians 2:20, union with Christ, legalism, grace, spiritual maturity, anxiety, surrender, and our longing for a heavenly home.

Has the earth been visited by extraterrestrials? Are we alone? Despite no formal evidence for conscious life outside of earth, the belief that we are not alone has become more common among both scientists and everyday people. Listen as author Adam Kirsch talks to EconTalk host Russ Roberts about the urge to believe that there are sentient beings elsewhere in the universe and that these aliens want to connect with human beings. Topics discussed include why belief in extraterrestrials has become more mainstream, existential loneliness, religion, extinction, and Elon Musk's desire to get to Mars.

In Urdu poetry, “marz” does not always mean an illness. It can be the weight of guilt, a restless heart, someone else's manipulation, or even the problems affecting an entire society. In this episode of Urdunama, we look at verses by Ameer Minai, Rahat Indori, Akbar Allahabadi and Hali to explore how each poet gives “marz” a different meaning, and how the idea of a cure changes with it.

Welcome to Day 2931 of Wisdom-Trek, and thank you for joining me. This is Guthrie Chamberlain and today is Day 2931 – Theology Thursday – Ascended Masters and the Return of Ancient Spiritual Deception Wisdom-Trek Podcast Script - Day 2931 Welcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps!   I am Guthrie Chamberlain, and we are on Day 2931 of our Trek.   The Purpose of Wisdom-Trek is to create a legacy of wisdom, to seek out discernment and insights, and to boldly grow where few have chosen to grow before. Our current series of Theology Thursday lessons is written by theologian and teacher John Daniels. I have found that his lessons are short, easy to understand, doctrinally sound, and applicable to all who desire to learn more of God's Word. John's lessons are available on his website, theologyinfive.com.   Ascended Masters and the Return of Ancient Spiritual Deception. New Age spirituality often presents Ascended Masters as enlightened beings who have transcended the physical world and now guide humanity toward higher consciousness. They are portrayed as wise, compassionate, and spiritually advanced figures who offer secret knowledge and personal transformation. When examined through Scripture and the ancient Near Eastern background, however, a different picture emerges. The Bible warns that there are spiritual beings who appear helpful and radiant, yet work to separate people from Yahweh. Ascended Masters fit that pattern, not as neutral spiritual guides, but as part of a long-running rebellion that began before the flood and continues in new forms today. The first segment is: The Deceptive Nature of Ascended Masters. Ascended Masters are marketed as safe and uplifting. They are said to counsel humans through channeling, visions, or inner impressions. Their messages often focus on spiritual evolution, self-divinization, or the discovery of a hidden inner light. The language sounds spiritual and positive, but the focus is consistently on bypassing repentance, ignoring the cross, and redefining salvation as self-awakening rather than reconciliation with Yahweh through Jesus Christ. This is exactly how deception works. It does not usually present itself as open hatred of Yahweh. It offers a more attractive version of spirituality that keeps people from the truth while convincing them that they have advanced beyond traditional faith. The second segment is: Scriptural Warnings Against Spiritual Deception. Scripture is not naïve about the reality of spiritual beings. It presents a populated spiritual world that includes loyal servants of Yahweh and hostile rebels. Paul warns that Satan disguises himself as an angel of light in second Corinthians 11 verse fourteen. This does not mean deception always looks dark and frightening. It often looks beautiful, insightful, and compassionate. John warns believers to test the spirits in first John 4 verse one because not every spiritual encounter originates from Yahweh. Jesus warns about false prophets who come in sheep's clothing while inwardly they are ravenous wolves. The consistent message is that spiritual claims must be measured against the revelation of Yahweh in Scripture because there are real spirits that lie about who He is and what salvation requires. The third segment is: The Apkallu and the Corrupted Wisdom of the Pre-Flood World. Ancient Mesopotamian tradition speaks of the apkallu, semi-divine sages associated with the distant past. These figures were remembered as culture bringers who taught humanity skills and knowledge. Second Temple Jewish writings like Enoch interpret this history through the lens of Genesis 6. The problem was never that humanity learned to build, create, or think. Yahweh intended humans to develop culture as part of their calling to steward creation. The problem was that rebel sons of God twisted good things into corrupted forms that led to sin, violence, idolatry, and oppression. Enoch describes how the Watchers taught humans sorcery, occult practices, weapon making for conquest, seductive arts for exploitation, and forms of knowledge that distorted Yahweh's design. The apkallu traditions preserve a memory of powerful spiritual instruction, but they celebrate what Scripture identifies as spiritual corruption. Instead of leading humanity toward loyalty to Yahweh, these beings led humanity into a world filled with bloodshed and perversion. Ascended Masters follow the same pattern. They present themselves as ancient teachers who offer advanced wisdom, but the wisdom is detached from submission to Yahweh and from the redemption found only in Christ. The fourth segment is: Daimones and the Disembodied Spirits of the Nephilim. Second Temple Judaism drew a clear distinction between the rebel sons of God and the spirits that came from their offspring. The Nephilim, produced by the union of the Watchers and human women, were physical tyrants who filled the earth with violence. When they died, their bodies perished, but their spirits remained. Enoch, Jubilees, and related material describe these spirits as wandering, hostile beings that have no place in heaven or in Sheol. They become the evil spirits that harass, deceive, and seek embodiment among humans. This background explains the behavior of demons in the New Testament. They are restless, unclean, tied to idolatry, and eager to inhabit bodies. The Greeks, looking back on very ancient memories, spoke of daimones, spirits of heroes and intermediaries between gods and humans. They viewed some daimones as wise and helpful, but their literature shows that they also feared them. Greek tragedies portrayed daimones as forces of madness and vengeance. Plato described some daimones as morally inferior and capable of misleading people. Ordinary Greeks offered sacrifices to daimones not because they trusted them, but because they believed these spirits could harm them if ignored. This hesitation aligns with the Biblical perspective that these beings were not benevolent guides but corrupted spirits whose influence brought confusion and deception. When New Age spirituality invokes Ascended Masters or enlightened guides, it is inviting contact with the same class of beings that Scripture identifies as malicious spirits. The daimones are the disembodied spirits of the Nephilim, not loyal spiritual beings. They present themselves as sources of wisdom because deception is their strategy and flattery is their tool. The fifth segment is: Ancient Near Eastern Spiritual Beings and Modern Rebranding. The ancient world did not forget these encounters. After the flood, the nations continued to honor spiritual beings that claimed to guide kings and shape cultures. Mesopotamian kings traced their legitimacy back to the wisdom of the apkallu. The Greeks spoke of daimones and heroic spirits that inspired philosophy, poetry, and religion. The language changed as cultures changed, yet the core idea remained. Humanity looked to powerful non-human intelligences for secret knowledge and spiritual authority. New Age spirituality is simply the latest brand. Ascended Masters are said to be ancient teachers from Atlantis, Lemuria, or past civilizations. They speak with the same voice as the old sages, promising higher consciousness, unity, and godlike potential. The message is always a crossless spirituality that offers power without repentance, transformation without Christ, and wisdom without the fear of Yahweh. Scripture recognizes this pattern as the ongoing strategy of rebel spirits and the disembodied Nephilim, dressed in language designed to appeal to modern seekers. The sixth segment is: The Age of Aquarius and the Longing for the Pre-Flood World. The modern idea of the Age of Aquarius claims that humanity is entering a new era of enlightenment marked by unity, spiritual evolution, and global harmony. This expectation is rooted in ancient Greek astrology and mystery religion, where history was believed to move in repeating cycles. The Greeks taught that a future age would restore the Golden Age of the distant past. They believed that before the flood, humanity lived in harmony under the guidance of divine beings and heroic spirits. From the pagan perspective, this earlier era was a utopia shaped by the wisdom of the gods. The Biblical worldview tells a very different story. The pre-flood world was defined by the corruption of the Watchers and the violence of the Nephilim. It was a time of judgment, not paradise. The Age of Aquarius repeats the pagan memory of that era, not the biblical one. It promises the return of ancient spiritual teachers and the restoration of pre-flood wisdom, presenting the same temptation to gain knowledge apart from Yahweh. The

On this episode of the Hayek Program Podcast, Peter Boettke sits down with Brianne Wolf to explore Adam Smith's enduring relevance for liberalism, political economy, and contemporary debates about markets and democracy. Wolf discusses her forthcoming book, Beyond Rights and Price: Liberalism with Taste, and explains how thinkers including Smith, Hume, Rousseau, and Tocqueville illuminate the role of taste, judgment, sympathy, and persuasion in sustaining a liberal society. Their conversation ranges from changing student attitudes toward inequality, expertise, and democracy to Smith's concern for the least advantaged, the relationship between the Scottish Enlightenment and the American founding, and the challenge classical liberals face in responding to critiques of capitalism. Boettke and Wolf also consider cosmopolitanism, the importance of local ties and civil society, and what the renewed attention surrounding the 250th anniversary of The Wealth of Nations can teach us about the liberal tradition.Dr. Brianne Wolf is Associate Professor of Political Theory and Director of the Political Economy minor at James Madison College at Michigan State University. Her current project, Beyond Rights and Price: Liberalism with Taste, explores the role of taste as a supplement to market relations and the legal framework of rights, fostering the moral possibilities of commercial society and the emotional connections between citizens that are necessary for a robust liberal politics.**This episode was recorded on July 28, 2026**Show Notes:Peter Boettke, The Struggle for a Better World (Mercatus Center, 2021)Carl Menger, “The Social Theories of Classical Political Economy and Modern Economic Policy”Bernard Yack, The Longing for Total Revolution: Philosophic Sources of Social Discontent from Rousseau to Marx and Nietzsche (University of California Press, 2022)Garry Wills, Inventing America: Jefferson's Declaration of Independence (Knopf Doubleday Publishing Group, 2018)Edward Gibbon, The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire: Abridged Edition (Penguin Classics, 2001)Martha C.

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.

WITH-ness: The experience of being deeply connected with God and others through joy, presence, mutual delight, trust, safety, and shared life. A relational environment where people become more fully alive because they are deeply known, genuinely loved, and continually invited to grow. ~ Table & WellHealthy marriages don't usually collapse because people stop loving each other. They slowly drift from connection to control. Every unhealthy posture in marriage is an attempt to secure something good—security, confidence, fulfillment, or significance—but through fear and control rather than relationship.

A homily delivered by Alberto Solano on the 10th Sunday after the Pentecost, August 2nd, 2026. The lectionary texts for the day were Neh 9:16-21; Ps 78:14-26; Rom 8:35-39

Romans 1 presents the Christian life as a wholehearted love for God that overflows into love for people. Paul begins with thanksgiving and prayer, reminding believers to intentionally encourage others by recognizing their faith instead of criticizing their faults. In a culture marked by isolation and distraction, these practices build genuine community and strengthen those who are faithfully following Christ, knowing that spiritual fruit often brings spiritual opposition. Paul also calls believers to live with generous, persistent love that gives more than it takes. Faithful friendships are marked by sacrifice, loyalty, and a refusal to give up on people, while the church's greatest obligation remains proclaiming Jesus above every competing priority. Thanksgiving, prayer, generosity, perseverance, and gospel witness work together to form a community that reflects Christ's love and advances His kingdom.

Some prayers don't come wrapped in polished words. They come through tears, sleepless nights, and whispered cries of, "God, where are You?" Psalm 119:145–168 reminds us that faith isn't pretending everything is okay—it's choosing to cry out to the One who hears, to keep seeking Him when the answers seem delayed, and to discover a peace that can settle the soul even before the situation changes. This Sunday, we'll walk through one of the most heartfelt sections of Psalm 119 as we explore crying out, seeking God's deliverance, and finding peace in His presence. Whether you're carrying heavy burdens, waiting on God, or simply longing to hear His voice again, this message is an invitation to come honestly, expectantly, and together. We'd love to have you with us. Join us Sunday at 8am or 11am for one of our worship services! -Pastor Ben Key Verse - Psalm 119:145-146 - "I call with all my heart; answer me, Lord and I will obey your decrees. I call out to you; save me and I will keep your statutes." For this week's Scripture and notes: http://bible.com/events/49633497

The greatest proof that God is real may be far simpler than most people expect. Zach recalls dismissing his mom's uncomplicated answer about seeing God in creation, only to hear one of the world's leading Christian philosophers give nearly the same response the very next day. Al, Christian, and John Luke join him to examine how nature, Scripture, reason, and faith work together to reveal who God is, why blind faith is not biblical faith, and how believers can keep growing beyond shallow social media theology. The guys laugh about Jase promising a 15-minute sermon when he's famously long-winded and come to the realization that announcing only the winner's first name could leave multiple Mirandas wondering if they're the winner of the 'Unashamed' studio visit giveaway.   In this episode: 1 John; James 1–2; Genesis 1; John 1; Romans 1:20; Hebrews 11; Ecclesiastes 3:11; Psalm 139 Today's conversation is about Lesson 1 of Theology 101: The Western Theological Tradition.
