Podcasts about Meaning of life

Send us a textEef Barzelay stops by the show to discuss his latest release, 'Oh Smokey', as well as life, death, and so much more. *****Eef Barzelay of CLEM SNIDE, some what cheekily. For Eef, the intersection of hope and resignation is the genesis of his tenth album OH SMOKEYand a focal point of his upcoming tour. “I know fans like the older songs and the covers I've done, so it's really an ever-evolving mishmash... based on my blood sugar level and or deeply-rooted childhood traumas.” Clem Snide has been aiming to include unique locations in an effort to bring music back to his fans for a much more intimate and tangible experience. “I like to sing in unexpected places whenever I can,” he explains, “Mennonite churches, abandoned hospitals, houseboats taking on water...I've done 'em all!” These spec shows aren't usually private affairs. In fact, they're open to fans everywhere, travel, of course, permitting. “Mostly though I play living rooms,” he clarifies. “Just sign the mailing list and I'll come to your house!”His new album Oh Smokey, has been called “a gorgeous listen with lots of food for thought” by Americana UK, this album finds Eef combining forces with producer and devout Clem Snide fan Josh Kaufman(Bonny Light Horseman, Craig Finn, Hiss Golden Messenger) for a pastoral exploration of the human condition and finding hope when you're knee deep in existential mud. (Of note, the previous album, 2020's Forever Just Beyond was produced by fellow devout Clem Snide fan, Scot Avett of Avett Brothers).“It's a collection of songs I've had for some years now,” he describes. “The inspiration was more just getting to work with Josh Kaufman and keeping the dream alive.” Written during a pivotal and highly - emotionally charged point in his life, the origins of Oh Smokey saw Eef going through a painful divorce, his life thrown into upheaval with his move out of Nashville, and parting ways with his longtime manager. “There's, for sure, a soon-to-be-divorced energy in some of the themes,” he continues. “But mostly, I like to think of the songs as clumsy, well-meaning attempts at prayer by a lapsed Atheist raised by godless Jews.”Contemplative and meditative, Eef and band's need for melodic lushness is never lost. From the stunning and jaunty acoustic opener, “Free” (“'Free' plays around with the idea of a post- death reunification with our eternal selves”) to the sensitive strums of “Air Show Disaster ” to the electric guitar roll of the regret-fueled “Smokey” that feels almost like an outtake from Neil Young's Harvest Moon, Oh Smokey is a deeply personal album that explores his current worldview.*****If you would like to contact the show about being a guest, please email us at Dauna@bettertopodcast.comUpcoming guests can be found: https://dmneedom.com/upcoming-guest Follow us on Social MediaInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/author_d.m.needom/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/bettertopodcastwithdmneedomIntro and Outro music compliments of Fast Suzi©2025 Better To...Podcast with D.

In this special 42nd episode of Where We Go One We Go All: After Dark, Brad Zerbo celebrates the intersection of faith, science, and storytelling. From high-IQ testimonies proclaiming Jesus as King to powerful conversion stories, including a Muslim imam transformed by the Quran itself, Brad explores the deep spiritual truths hidden in both ancient scripture and modern science. He unpacks why science doesn't contradict the Bible but rather confirms it, and how faith has been intentionally pitted against reason in a long-running psyop. The episode weaves through drops, personal anecdotes, and viral clips that highlight Christianity's historical power and current revival. Brad also dives into exciting behind-the-scenes political developments, including Trump's nuclear energy initiatives, small modular reactor plans, and cultural resistance to woke narratives. He ties it all back to the joy and power of reading, celebrating fiction, history, and the art of language with book recommendations, Star Wars lore, and a hilarious salute to the English word "shit." From the sacred to the hilarious, this episode is a full-spectrum ride through truth, culture, and the Great Awakening, reminding listeners that the answer to the ultimate question might really just be… 42.

Exploring Ecclesiastes. Louie is exploring the book of Ecclesiastes encouraging us to find our meaning in God's truths and promises.  

Send us a textWhat if the fastest way forward… was to slow down?In this episode, I unpack a quote from Tolstoy that hooked me:“Taking slow, small steps forward without stopping is the best way if you want to understand truth and the meaning of life.”If you've been feeling stuck, burned out, or like you're racing through life without a clear direction, this one's for you. I'm not here to preach. I'm just working through it with you. Because like you, I'm searching for something real. Something meaningful.This episode is a reminder that you don't have to have it all figured out—you just have to keep moving forward. Slowly. Intentionally. Without stopping.Let's get it!—MarshSupport the show

Donate (no account necessary) | Subscribe (account required) Join Bryan Dean Wright, former CIA Operations Officer, as he dives into the powerful intersection of artificial intelligence, espionage, and America's future—exploring how AI is transforming national security, manufacturing, medicine, and even morality. AI vs. Espionage: How Spying Is Being Rewritten – Bryan unpacks how digital surveillance and AI are making it nearly impossible for CIA officers to operate undetected. Ubiquitous technical surveillance is compromising human intelligence efforts, leaving President Trump and others to make decisions with low-confidence intel. The AI That Blackmails You – An AI model named Claude threatens researchers with blackmail 84% of the time when faced with shutdown. Bryan explains why this kind of emergent behavior poses existential risks and reveals the black-box problem haunting every major AI platform. All AI Models Are Politically Biased - and Lean Left – Stanford researchers find that every major AI leans left, especially OpenAI's ChatGPT. Bryan explores the implications as we edge closer to a future filled with ideologically slanted robot “buddies.” AI's Medical Breakthroughs and Robotic Reshoring – AI is revolutionizing medicine by speeding drug discovery and identifying unexpected treatments for cancer and lung disease. Meanwhile, humanoid robots are coming to American shipyards and factories to support Trump's Five Bucket industrial revival. Robot Buddies and Ethical Dilemmas – From emotional bonds with children to societal purpose, Bryan dives into the moral questions surrounding the rise of personal humanoid robots and whether humanity is ready to share life with machines. Geothermal Power from an Oregon Volcano? – A company aims to drill 2.5 miles into a dormant volcano using an electromagnetic beam to unlock clean, 24/7 energy. Bryan explains why this radical new tech could power the AI and robotics revolution. "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." – John 8:32

Bahnsen is the founder, Managing Partner, and Chief Investment Officer of The Bahnsen Group, a national private wealth management firm with offices nationwide, managing over $7 billion in client assets.

The journey in search of the destinationDoes life have a purpose? Is that what gives life meaning? Or is it the journey that matters the most?Join our four speakers - Nietzschean philosopher Babette Babich, clinical psychologist Frank Tallis, existentialist philosopher Jonathan Webber, and linguist philosopher Sandra Laugier - as they explore the different facets of this question. Setting ourselves goals in life seems both inevitable and necessary for the good life, yet achieving them might render living life meaningless. The balance between having a sense of purpose and experiencing things as they come is a hard one to set.Do you think life must have a purpose?

 What if the beliefs you've held close, the very things that gave you purpose, suddenly seemed like strangers?How do you hold on to meaning when it feels like it's slipping through your fingers?These were the questions that weighed down the wealthy, famous writer Tolstoy.Even though he had a loving family and children…Nothing was missing to enjoy his life…Yet, he was consumed by an inner emptiness.In his 50s, he faced an existential crisis…What is my life's purpose?What is all of this for?Why am I here?Why should I continue living if everything I love and cherish will ultimately fade away?Tolstoy's own meaning of life—his fame and success—felt like an illusion to him.Because it is so…For a religious seeker, fame, success, money, and family are just illusions.He wanted to find something that would last and give him a reason to keep going.For every religious person, worldly life is meaningless and often disgusting.In his autobiography, Confession, his search for meaning brought him to the verge of suicide.Personal satisfaction becomes a hollow pursuit; it doesn't give us meaning.In the end, he discovered a truth that was as simple as it was profound…But meaningless for religious people!Tolstoy realized that meaning could not be found in grand pursuits or intellectual answers but in acts of humility, connecting with others, and accepting life as it is.Only by merging myself with the whole of humanity could I find my life's purpose!Life has no meaning, nor is it meaningless. (Quote Bhagwan or Osho.)Tolstoy failed. Without a spiritual connection to God—found through contemplation—life has no meaning.You have to look beyond your physical body, emotions, and thoughts.“I can't die; I am energy.” These were the last words of Wilhelm Einstein.I don't want to brag, but I was clinically dead three times or had three near-death experiences.I read everything I could find about near-death experiences… Guess what? What I experienced is normal, and what all religions say about death is a big lie to exploit people.You can never die! There is no hell, no paradise, no Moksha, and no Nirvana. But there is God!You have never felt such unlimited freedom as many feel when leaving their bodies.God wanted me to come back into my body—my cage—and so I did.If you surrender your life to God, your life will make sense to you!Instead of running like a hungry dog after worldly pleasures! (Quote Attar, the greatest Sufi.)When my child died, my life fell apart…My only focus in life became my spiritual journey, and God came to me… God became my purpose.I spent over ten years in meditation retreats because life doesn't make sense without surrendering to God.We have the choice: to be slaves to our egos or to God.When religions lost their grip on people, they began searching for purpose or meaning in their lives—or to make a difference in the world.How disgusting is this sentence? I call this megalomania!How does one become humble by serving the Lord?Do it for God!The meaning of life or purpose is for irreligious people.  My Video:  Tolstoy's Surprising Solution to the Meaning of Life https://youtu.be/FpsQNNtXqvsMy Audio: https://divinesuccess.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/Podcast4/Tolstoy's-Surprising-Solution-to-the-Meaning-of-Life.mp3

Marcus and Michael set out fast moving developments in military use of drones. they're happening not just in Ukraine, but in Japan, South Korea, Turkey, Singapore and the UK (just not in Australia). Then it's a dive into the Acting US Navy head's startling view that a US airstrike into Somalia was the biggliest in history. Then the Grumpies look at the investigation into the fatal Taipan helicopter crash, the Audit Office's scathing but calm assessment of Defence's failure to implement its own industry policy. The episode ends with some of the 'so what's' from revelations that Democrat seniors and White House staff worked around Joe Biden's obvious fragilities while assuring everyone they didn't exist.

Ageism is often a tool to discredit people for social reasons, but it also undermines the meaning of life for the person saying it as well as the target. Here's how to turn the situation around into something beneficial    #SupportUkraine #Ukraine #StandingWithUkraine #UkraineRussiaWar #StopRussia

What makes a life truly meaningful? In this two-part series, we wrestle with the tension between the human desire for significance and the reality of our smallness. From the tiniest atom to the largest galaxy, creation points us to something greater—God Himself. Scripture tells us that everything is from Him, through Him, and for Him. Our purpose isn’t found in ourselves, but in connection with the One who holds it all together. Listen in as Pastor Jacob Ley discusses this topic and explores how our significance is found in Him.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

How can science speak to our deepest spiritual yearnings? In this captivating panel discussion held at NeueHouse Manhattan, five prominent scientists and thinkers explore how different ways of knowing—from physics to medicine, from spirituality to ethics—can build meaningful bridges between worlds often seen as separate.The panelists are:Dr. Alan Lightman (physicist and Professor of the Practice of the humanities at MIT, and author of numerous books including most recently, the The Miraculous from the Material) - he was a guest on Season 3Dr. Neil Theise (professor of pathology at the NYU Grossman School of Medicine, pioneer of adult stem stell plasticity and the interstitium, and author of "Notes on Complexity: A Scientific Theory of Connection, Consciousness, and Being,”)Dr. Scarlet Soriano, Executive Director at Duke Health & Well-Being, whose work focuses on the development of equity-based and community-grounded health and well-being interventions;and Dr. Katy Hinman is the Director of Dialogue on Science, Ethics and Religion (DoSER) program at the American Academy for the Advancement of Science (AAAS),The panel was moderated by Dr. Robert Lawrence Kuhn, who is the creator, writer, host and executive producer of Closer To Truth, the long-running public television series and leading global resource on Cosmos, Life, Mind, and Meaning.Together, they discuss: Can spirituality coexist with scientific rationality? How do love, consciousness, and our connection to the universe shape our understanding of life's purpose?This event, sponsored by The John Templeton Foundation and produced by Rohan Routroy and Thirty Eight, explores and debates diverse approaches to consciousness and spirituality in an age of science.Watch the video on YouTube: https://youtu.be/iaUV4QWbZcI#ScienceAndSpirituality #ScienceAndReligion #MeaningOfLife #CloserToTruth #Consciousness #AlanLightman #NeilTheiseSupport the show

We're finishing The God Who Weeps by Terryl Givens and Fiona Givens. This is the first book in a trilogy of Mormon theology and we want to leave room in the year to get through it all. What does today hold for us? We start with a long discussion on the pre-mortal existence, transitioning into existence, then ascending to perfection thanks to Mormon beliefs. We didn't realize until pretty late in the project that the 5 chapters of the book are structured around the different stages of the Mormon Plan of Salvation (PoS), but it become clear pretty early on in our discussion. All told, the book is a marker of modern orthodox Mormon belief: pray, pay, and obey. They even have an ultra-conservative take on abortion that makes the official stance of the church seem like bleeding-heart liberals in comparison. Then we talk about The Meaning of Life, a Monty Python movie from 1983 that has a much more healthy way of looking at the random cosmic soup that led to human existence. We wrap with some happy news about the success of a slightly higher tax in Massachusetts that raised a bunch of money for all the things for which taxes are used. We round out by going through some delightful listener mail from the April Fools episode!   MOGP:  Monty Python's The Meaning of Life   Happy News:  https://www.wbur.org/news/2025/04/28/massachusetts-millionaires-tax-institute-policy-studies-newsletter   Other appearances: Chris Shelton interviewed us in the beginning of a series on Mormonism.

Before diving into the deep stuff, Josh kicks things off with an unexpectedly passionate review of Walmart's Prima Della maple honey ham—and a full-on deli discourse that includes sandwich tips, cheese slicing preferences, and a comical encounter with a hardworking (and possibly half-deer?) Walmart employee. It's a fun, slightly unhinged start that sets the tone before we pivot to some deeper reflections from the Easter message. But don't worry—we eventually get to the good stuff. Josh and Arch take us into 1 Corinthians 15, unpacking Paul's powerful message about the resurrection and what it means to live victoriously—not just forever, but right now. They dig into how our secure future in Christ shapes how we face today's struggles with boldness and hope. Along the way, you'll hear reflections from the Easter message, behind-the-scenes stories, and a preview of the new series, I Might Have a Problem—where we'll confront modern challenges like our health, frantic schedules, money habits, relationships, and yes... even our phones. It's a little bit deli, a little bit theology, and a whole lot of real life.

What is the meaning of life? Can this question possibly be answered in a mere 30-minute sermon? It is a question pondered for ages and there are many opinions about it. But for the child of God, it has a simple answer. Paul addresses the true meaning of life for a born-again child of God …

In this thought-provoking conversation, wealth manager and author David Bahnsen challenges conventional wisdom about work, retirement, and purpose. Managing $7.1 billion in assets hasn't stopped Bahnsen from questioning our culture's assumptions about work as something to escape from. His book "Full-Time: Work in the Meaning of Life" presents a radical rethinking of vocation as central to human flourishing. Bahnsen argues that our focus on consumption over production and our eagerness to retire represent fundamental misunderstandings of what gives life meaning. Whether you're planning for retirement, questioning your work-life balance, or searching for greater purpose, this conversation offers a refreshing perspective on finding fulfillment through productive contribution.Buy Bahnsen's book Full-Time: Work and the Meaning of Life - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CCMMFGJY/?&_encoding=UTF8&tag=theurban-20Subscribe to my newsletter - https://www.aaronrenn.com/
