Miroslav Volf critiques ambition, love of status, and superiority, offering a Christ-shaped vision of agapic love and humble glory.“'And if you received it, why do you boast as if it were not a gift?' If you received everything you have as a gift and if your existence as the recipient is also a gift, all ground for boasting is gone. Correspondingly, striving for superiority over others, seeking to make oneself better than others and glorying in that achievement, is possible only as an existential lie. It is not just a lie that all strivers and boasters tell themselves. More troublingly, that lie is part of the ideology that is the wisdom of a certain twisted and world-negating form of the world.”In Lecture 5, the final of his Gifford Lectures, Miroslav Volf offers a theological and moral vision that critiques the dominant culture of ambition, superiority, and status. Tracing the destructive consequences of Epithumic desire and the relentless “race of honors,” Volf contrasts them with agapic love—God's self-giving, unconditional love. Drawing from Paul's Christ hymn in Philippians 2 and philosophical insights from Rousseau, Nietzsche, and Max Scheler, Volf reveals the radical claim that striving for superiority is not merely harmful but fundamentally false. Through Christ's self-emptying, even to the point of death, we glimpse a redefinition of glory that subverts all worldly hierarchies. The love that saves is the love that descends. In a world ravaged by competition, inequality, and devastation, Volf calls for fierce, humble, and world-affirming love—a love that mends what can be mended, and makes the world home again.Episode Highlights“Striving for superiority over others… is possible only as an existential lie.”“Jesus Christ was no less God and no less glorious at his lowest point.”“To the extent that I'm striving for superiority, I cannot love myself unless I am the GOAT.”“God cancels the standards of the kind of aspiration whose goal is superiority.”“This is neither self-denial nor denial of the world. This is love for the world at work.”Show NotesAgapic love vs. Epithemic desire and self-centered striving“Striving for superiority… is possible only as an existential lie.”Paul's hymn in Philippians 2 and the “race of shame”Rousseau: striving for superiority gives us “a multitude of bad things”Nietzsche's critique of Christianity and pursuit of powerMax Scheler: downward love, not upward striving“Jesus Christ was no less God and no less glorious at his lowest point.”Self-love as agapic: “I am entirely a gift to myself.”Raphael's Transfiguration and the chaos belowDemon possession as symbolic of systemic and spiritual powerlessness“To the extent that I'm striving for superiority, I cannot love myself unless I am the GOAT.”“The world is the home of God and humans together.”God's love affirms the dignity of even the most unlovable creatureLove as spontaneous overflow, not moral condescension“Mending what can be mended… mourning with those who mourn and dancing with those who rejoice.”Production NotesThis podcast featured Miroslav VolfEdited and Produced by Evan RosaHosted by Evan RosaProduction Assistance by Taylor Craig and Macie BridgeA Production of the Yale Center for Faith & Culture at Yale Divinity School https://faith.yale.edu/aboutSupport For the Life of the World podcast by giving to the Yale Center for Faith & Culture: https://faith.yale.edu/giveSpecial thanks to Dr. Paul Nimmo, Paula Duncan, and the media team at the University of Aberdeen.

Hosted by Dr. Sarah Hensley, Specialized Social Psychologist, Attachment Theory Expert, and Founder & CEO of The Love Doc Relationship Coaching Services with Co-host Raina Butcher, Owner/CEO of Joyful Consulting, LLC. Welcome to "The Love Doc Podcast" Season II, where Host Dr. Sarah Hensley and her co-host Raina Butcher dive deep into the intricacies of love, attraction, attachment, relationships, and self-awareness. Dr. Hensley brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to help listeners navigate the complexities of modern romance. In each episode, Dr. Hensley tackles burning questions about love, relationships, and the mind's complexities, drawing from her psychological research, real-life experiences, and her own individual expertise, to provide insightful perspectives and practical advice.In this uplifting episode of The Love Doc Podcast, Dr. Hensley and Raina welcome Joe Dillon, co-founder of Equitable Mediation Services and a seasoned expert in divorce mediation. As a powerful continuation of our Family Court Series, this episode offers listeners a beacon of hope—clear, compassionate alternatives to conventional court separation and custody disputes.Joe brings both personal insight and profound expertise to this conversation. Inspired by his own experience as a child of divorce who witnessed the emotionally devastating effects of lawyer-driven litigation, Joe's mission is rooted in preventing similar trauma from impacting other families. With over 17 years of private mediation practice under his belt—and an MBA in finance, plus training from prestigious institutions such as Harvard, MIT, and Northwestern—he combines emotional intelligence and financial savviness to guide couples toward fair, collaborative outcomes.One of the most compelling parts of the discussion centers on the "interest-based negotiation" model Joe champions—an approach that shifts focus from entrenched positions to underlying needs and shared goals. Joe explains how mediation fosters "win-win" agreements and dramatically reduces costs and emotional damage compared to traditional litigation, which he notes can reach as high as $200,000—the equivalent of a four-year college education.This episode also shines a spotlight on Joe's pioneering role in virtual mediation—a service he launched in 2011, well before many embraced remote alternatives during the pandemic. His practices empower families across numerous states (California, New York, New Jersey, Illinois, Pennsylvania, Washington State) to engage in thoughtful, structured mediation from any location.Throughout the episode, Joe extends tangible resources: from free courses, helpful blogs, and consultation options available through Equitable Mediation, to advice on designing “roommate agreements” when post-divorce couples find it necessary to continue co-habitating for financial or logistical reasons. This episode explores why mediators aren't just facilitators—they're peace architects, helping couples untangle complex emotional and financial decisions in ways that protect children, relationships, and dignity.Why This Episode Matters for Our ListenersOffers a Practical Alternative to LitigationThrough Joe's personal journey and his data-backed approach, listeners can discover a kinder, more constructive path out of marriage or parent-child tension that preserves both stability and civility.Reduces Financial and Emotional TollAs Joe highlights, mediation not only lowers the fiscal burden of divorce but also shields families—especially children—from the trauma of court conflict.Accessible Anywhere, AnytimeJoe's virtual-first model makes mediation accessible regardless of geography, fitting seamlessly into modern, busy lives.Provides Real-World Tools and EmpowermentFrom negotiation frameworks to free educational content and flexible agreements, this episode equips listeners with knowledge, hope, and actionable steps.Episode 14 isn't just another episode—it's a lifeline for families navigating the storm of separation. Joe Dillon will show you that healing, fairness, and hope are possible—even when the path seems steep. Mediation isn't just a process; it's a bridge to a new chapter defined by cooperation and compassion.You can find Joe and all his services at https://www.equitablemediation.com/Tune in to "The Love Doc Podcast" every Tuesday morning for candid conversations, expert guidance, and a deeper understanding of life, love and relationships in the modern world.

It is forbidden to sew brand new garments during the Nine Days, starting from Rosh Hodesh Ab. Repairing garments, however, such as mending tears, sewing a patch or sewing a button that had fallen, is allowed. One should not purchase new garments or new shoes during the Nine Days. Before the Nine Days, starting from Shiba Asar Be'Tammuz, it is customary not to wear new garments, as we do not recite the Beracha of "She'hehiyanu" during this somber period, but one may purchase new garments to wear them after Tisha B'Ab. Starting from Rosh Hodesh Ab, however, one should not purchase new garments even if he does not intend to wear them until after Tisha B'Ab. This Halacha applies only to significant articles of clothing. Items such as hosiery, socks and undergarments, the purchase of which does not bring special joy, may be bought during the Nine Days. The Ben Ish Hai (Rav Yosef Haim of Baghdad, 1833-1909) writes that if a garment becomes available at a bargain price during the Nine Days, and the item will be more expensive after Tisha B'Ab, then one may purchase it during the Nine Days. Hacham Bension Abba Shaul (Israel, 1924-1998) ruled that if one's shoes were torn during the Nine Days, he may purchase a new pair. If a person realized before Tisha B'Ab that he does not have footwear for Tisha B'Ab – meaning, shoes or slippers that don't contain leather – then he may buy a pair of shoes to wear on Tisha B'Ab. He may wear them for the first time on Tisha B'Ab, because he wears them for the purpose of mourning, and this does not bring him special joy. If he has other shoes that are permissible for Tisha B'Ab, then he should preferably wear that other pair rather than purchase a new pair. But if he would otherwise need to go barefoot, he may certainly purchase a new pair of shoes. Regardless, Rav Yaakob Haim Sofer (Baghdad-Jerusalem, 1870-1939) writes in Kaf Ha'haim (551:96) that already before Rosh Hodesh Ab, one should make sure that he has suitable shoes for Tisha B'Ab. If somebody makes clothing for a living, he may continue working until the onset of the week of Tisha B'Ab, at which point he must refrain. However, if a tailor is very poor and needs to continue working so he can afford his basic necessities, then he may continue working even during the week of Tisha B'Ab, and, if necessary, even on Tisha B'Ab itself. If somebody owns a factory that manufactures clothing, and he would incur a loss by shutting the factory down during the Nine Days, as he would still be required to pay his employees, he may keep the business running. Even on Tisha B'Ab itself, a person is permitted to work when this is necessary to avoid a substantial financial loss, and so certainly during the Nine Days, one may continue manufacturing new clothing when a considerable loss is at stake. Generally, it is forbidden to knit or embroider during the Nine Days. However, if a woman is learning to knit in order to pursue knitting as a profession and earn a livelihood, then she may knit as part of her training during the Nine Days. Hacham Ovadia Yosef explained that teaching young women skills that they can use to earn a living and support their families is an important Misva – especially if these skills allow them to work from home and thus avoid compromises in Seniut (modesty) that are sometimes made when working outside the home. Therefore, it is entirely permissible to teach these classes during the Nine Days. Rav Shlomo Zalman Auerbach (Jerusalem, 1910-1995) was asked whether girls' summer camps that offer sewing and embroidery as activities may allow these activities to continue during the Nine Days. He replied that given the importance of attracting youngsters to summer programs run under religiously observant auspices, this may be allowed. If even a single knitting class is cancelled, Rav Shlomo Zalman said, it is possible that a girl or several girls will not want to join such a program, and will thus end up participating in programs that are not run in accordance with Halacha and Torah values. Therefore, the knitting activities can proceed as usual during the Nine Days. Women who knit for their emotional wellbeing, such as to keep themselves busy or as a way to effectively handle feelings of anxiety and the like, may knit during the Nine Days. Knitting for Misva purposes is allowed during the Nine Days. It is thus permissible to prepare threads for Sisit. Hacham Ovadia also ruled that if a pillow needs to be sewn to be used at a Berit Mila, this may be done during the Nine Days. Women who spin thread for a living may continue their work during the Nine Days. Producing threads does not bring joy like producing articles of clothing, and so this is permissible.

Stephen Matos, a person in long-term recovery, joins TJ on the Recovery Matters podcast to share his incredible journey since his last use of drugs and alcohol in 1986 and his last gambling experience in 1987. Stephen opens up about his upbringing in Hartford, Connecticut, where his father was deeply entrenched in gambling activities. He recounts how his own descent into alcohol, drugs, and gambling almost destroyed his life, leading to broken relationships and financial ruin. However, recovery came through Gamblers Anonymous, Alcoholics Anonymous, and intensive outpatient programs. Stephen highlights his role as a peer counselor in Connecticut's exemplary problem gambling treatment programs, underscoring the importance of lived experience in offering hope and support to others. His narrative also sheds light on the stigma surrounding gambling addiction and the critical need for comprehensive treatment and recovery resources.00:00 Introduction and Host Backgrounds00:36 Growing Up with a Gambling Father04:51 Early Exposure to Alcohol and Drugs06:59 The Impact of Gambling on Relationships09:58 Descent into Addiction16:15 Turning Point and Seeking Help18:30 Recovery Journey and Support Systems21:51 The Journey of Recovery21:58 Managing Money and Responsibilities22:24 The Role of AA and GA in Recovery22:48 Strained Relationship with Father23:24 Making Amends and Financial Accountability23:52 Mending the Relationship with Father24:27 A New Chapter: Becoming a Peer Counselor25:06 Training and Embracing Multiple Pathways of Recovery25:58 Working with Problem Gamblers and Their Families27:58 Connecticut's Leading Gambling Treatment Programs29:37 The Importance of Lived Experience in Recovery33:03 Helpline and Support Resources35:20 Advice for Newcomers in Recovery36:48 Addressing Stigma and Shame in Gambling Addiction41:05 Concluding Thoughts and Gratitude  ----Across the Web----

Hey folks, thanks for tuning in to the latest episode of the Ecosystem Member podcast. Today's episode is one that I had in mind when I first started formulating the idea for this podcast about two years ago and is a fitting end to season two of the podcast.Dr. Susan Murphy Roshi is the founding teacher of Zen Open Circle in Sydney, Australia, as well as a writer, radio producer, film writer and director. I came to know her through two of her books - 'Minding the Earth, Mending the World: Zen and the Art of Planetary Crisis' and her latest book 'A Fire Runs Through All Things: Zen Koans for Facing the Climate Crisis'.In this episode, we talk about what a Zen perspective on the climate crisis looks like and the concept of Engaged Buddhism, the interconnectedness of all things with a practice from Susan on how to help us recognize that connectedness, and her unique background that brings together Zen and Aboriginal teachings. This is episode 43 of the podcast and probably is my favorite one yet for a lot of reasons. The first being that a lot of my contemplation about our human relationship with nature came through my study of Buddhism and Zen. About a decade ago, I was lucky enough to be introduced to an amazing career coach named Michael Carroll who was a high flying human resources executive at a number of well known companies including the Walt Disney Company and an authorized Buddhist teacher who wrote the books 'Awake at Work' and 'Fearless at Work' on bringing Buddhist wisdom to your work and career. The short time I spent with Michael directly and then the much longer time I spent with his books fundamentally shifted my view of not just work, but how I engage the world around me. Susan's books have had a similar impact. The other reason that this is one of my favorite episodes is that it provides no answers. The natural human inclination when faced with volatility and uncertainty is to look for certainty, to look for the known. Yet, to put it bluntly, what we know is not working for a lot of people and certainly not for the planet. There are people who would like you to believe that the answer lies in domination. In dominating and extracting from nature and dominating other groups of people. They like to say things like "peace through strength" and we're "at war" with nature, subjugating it for our gain. I don't care for certainty, but I am certain that the notion that we are on this plant to fight it and every other living thing around us is ridiculous. Thich Nhat Han wrote “Our own life has to be our message.” So as we wrap season two, I am asking myself what I want my message to be about my time on Earth and my relationship with what lives and breathes here.LinksBuy Susan Murphy's 'A Fire Runs Through All Things' Buy Susan Murphy's 'Minding the Earth, Mending the World'

On Mother's Day, we'll reflect on what it means to live (and care) in an imperfect world. In a time when division, cruelty, and unrealistic ideals dominate the headlines, Humanism offers something grounding: the courage to repair, the strength to hope, and the wisdom to know that mending what matters is sacred work. Louise will explore how Humanist values guide us through brokenness, help us hold space for growth, and invite us to show up (with compassion and courage) even when the stitching isn't straight. All are welcome, wherever you are on your ethical journey.
