“Why don't we write a prayer guide for people who aren't religious and who don't do church?”If you could inspire people across the country to pray, what would be the result? In this episode, we hear from David Hill, who runs a ministry that is doing just that. For many this has led to unexpected and profound experiences of God – moments of revelation and transformation. How have so many people found a deeper connection to God in this way? Tune in as we explore the ways in which the power of prayer is breaking down barriers and leading to extraordinary spiritual breakthroughs. Could a simple invitation to pray be the first step for someone near you to experience God?Try praying yourself at trypraying.org or find campaign resources at do.trypraying.org

"Transcendence is the connection with something wider; the world, the cosmos, nature, other fellow human beings, and doing good in this life"— Dr Lindsay De Wal When Dr Lindsay De Wal became the first non-religious head of chaplaincy in the NHS, she redefined what spiritual support can look like in modern healthcare. From sceptical colleagues to international media headlines, her appointment marked a turning point for inclusive pastoral care. In this powerful and personal conversation, Lindsay shares how she built a humanist framework for care grounded in deep listening, horizontal transcendence and unwavering compassion.In This EpisodeWhy only 4% of hospital chaplaincy visits serve non-religious patientsHow the Netherlands became a global leader in humanist pastoral careWhat “horizontal transcendence” means—and why it matters in non-religious careThe art of active listening and the power of silence in emotional supportHow to become a humanist pastoral carer—and why demand is growing fastThe rise of the Non-Religious Pastoral Support Network across the NHSFollow Dr. Lindsay de WalLinktree: https://linktr.ee/Dr.LdWUK Non‑religious Pastoral Support NetworkEpisode References: Become a Pastoral Carer, UK Non-Religious Pastoral Support NetworkThe Development of Non-Religious Pastoral Support in the UK, Dr David Savage History of The Netherlands Humanists Association, Humanistisch VerbondInterview with Lindsay de Wal: UK's First Humanist NHS Chaplain on Non-Religious Pastoral Care, The Humanist Send us a textSupport the showSupport us on Patreon Advertising opportunitiesClick here to submit questions, nominate guest & topics.

4th May 2025 Luke 18:9-17 Hope for the Non-Religious by Robertson Anglican Church

In today's episode, Leslie welcomes back Jim Palmer, a former evangelical mega church pastor turned advocate for religious deconstruction and non-religious spirituality. They delve into Jim's transformative journey from his early religious experiences to his crisis of faith and subsequent shift towards helping others navigate religious trauma and existential health. Jim shares insights from his recent sabbatical on a secluded island in British Columbia, discussing the importance of community, critical thinking, and self-trust in the deconstruction process. The conversation touches on the evolution of religious beliefs, the impact of societal structures on personal well-being, and the broader implications of moving towards a more inclusive, meta-modern understanding of spirituality rooted in personal meaning and love.Learn more about what Jim does on his website: https://nonreligiousspirituality.com podscan_CTf7ven7MdKvY3wpy2gLNP28R0XfPHdm  Honoring the Journey is hosted, produced and edited by Leslie Nease and the artwork for the show is also created by Leslie Nease.Want to get updates/announcements and a FREE Deconstruction Journaling Prompt PDF?

The Rebbe supports speaking at non-religious events if done carefully, ensuring it won't be seen as endorsing their views. He encourages using every opportunity to inspire Yiddishkeit, as such efforts usually bear fruit. He also urges follow-up on family purity and tefillin, and mentions praying for them at the Ohel. https://www.torahrecordings.com/rebbe/004_igros_kodesh/adar/938

It feels weird to call yourself a “None,” but according to demographers, that's what I am: one of millions of Americans who understand themselves as “religiously unaffiliated.” That means atheists, agnostics, and people who answer “nothing in particular” when asked if they practice a religion. Today, Nones make up 28% of the U.S. population — up from 16% in 2007. But just because you're religiously unaffiliated doesn't mean you don't want some of the things that often come with religion: ritual, community, ethics, care. So what does that look like? How do we find it while also avoiding culty wellness s**t? Fellow None (and atheist Jew) Vanessa Zoltan, who's currently teaching a class at Harvard on spiritual care for the non-religious, is here to help answer all your questions. (Also note: this one's for Nones and Non-Nones, people with a lot of religious experience and people with very little, people repelled by religion and people hungry for it. It might not seem like something in your wheelhouse, but if you're interested, broadly, in ideas about friends, community, how to have serious conversations, and why people get really really into Crossfit, you're going to love it) Join the ranks of paid subscribers and get bonus content, access to the discussion threads, ad-free episodes, and the knowledge that you're supporting an indie pod trying to make its way in the world.

It's Wednesday, February 12th, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 125 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Jonathan Clark Nepal detained 13 Christians over evangelism International Christian Concern reports the government of Nepal detained 13 Christians last week over alleged evangelistic activities in the south Asian country. Twelve of the people are U.S. citizens, and one is a citizen of India. The American Christians were visiting Nepal on tourist visas and helping construct a building in the southeastern city of Dharan. However, officials accused them of sharing their faith with locals.  The country currently bans attempts to convert someone from one religion to another. Authorities released the group of foreign Christians. However, the Nepalese Christians faced greater harassment for evangelizing, including years in prison.  United Kingdom targets pro-lifers again Authorities in the United Kingdom continue to target pro-lifers. Alliance Defending Freedom UK released footage on Monday of the latest incident. Isabel Vaughan-Spruce is a co-director of March for Life UK, and was standing silently outside of an abortion mill recently. However, police told her that her mere presence was causing “harassment, alarm, and distress.” The pro-lifer has already faced arrest twice for silently praying outside abortion mills. She said, “[The officer] believes that just because I hold pro-life beliefs, I am automatically a criminal in certain public areas. This isn't right!” Proverbs 17:15 says, “He who justifies the wicked, and he who condemns the just, both of them alike are an abomination to the LORD.” 36% of Swiss are non-religious Evangelical Focus reports the religious landscape in Switzerland is changing.  The largest religious group in the European country is those who say they have no religion at 36%. That's up from 1% in 1970. Twenty-percent of the population identifies with the mainline Protestant Swiss Evangelical Church, down from 49% in 1970. And 31% identify with the Catholic Church, down from 42% in 2000. However, independent Evangelical churches appear to be growing even though they represent a small portion of the population at about 6%.  Sadly, 17% of Evangelicals report experiencing religious discrimination.  Trump imposes 25% tariffs on steel and aluminum imports Here in the United States, President Donald Trump signed an order on Monday to impose 25% tariffs on all steel and aluminum imports.  Trump called it a “big deal” while signing. TRUMP: “This is a big deal. This is the beginning of making America rich again.” Peter Navarro, Trump's trade adviser, told reporters, “It's about ensuring that America never has to rely on foreign nations for critical industries like steel and aluminum.” Canada and Mexico will probably face the most repercussions from the tariffs as they are the largest exporters of steel and aluminum to the U.S. Google changed Gulf of Mexico to Gulf of America for American users On Monday, Google changed the name of the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America on its maps program. The change applies to users of the application in the U.S. This comes after President Trump ordered the body of water to be called the Gulf of America in U.S. government documents. He also issued a proclamation recognizing February 9 as Gulf of America Day.  The government, database known as the Geographic Names Information System, released this update.  “The Gulf of America, formerly known as the Gulf of Mexico, with an average depth of 5,300 feet is a major body of water bordered and nearly landlocked by North America with the Gulf's eastern, northern, and northwestern shores in the U.S. and its southwestern and southern shores in Mexico.” Psalm 95:3, 5 reminds us, “For the LORD is the great God, and the great King above all gods. … The sea is His, for He made it; and His hands formed the dry land.” Google kisses DEI goodbye Speaking of Google, the major tech company is ending its diversity goals.  Alphabet, Google's parent company, released their annual report last week. The report excluded previous language of commitment to “diversity, equity, and inclusion.”  This comes after President Trump signed an executive order, ending diversity, equity, and inclusion programs in the government.  Google said they would not be continuing such programs since it is a federal contractor.  Shark attacks are down And finally, here's some good news! Shark attacks are down this year, according to the International Shark Attack File maintained by the Florida Museum of Natural History. There were 47 unprovoked shark attacks recorded around the world last year, down from the 10-year average of 70. And only four of those attacks resulted in fatalities, also significantly down from previous years. Neil Hammerschlag with the Shark Research Foundation said, “With more people using the oceans than ever before — whether for recreation, fishing, or other activities — you might expect bite incidents to rise. Yet, the fact that numbers are even lower than last year reinforces the idea that humans aren't natural prey or even likely targets for sharks.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Wednesday, February 12th, in the year of our Lord 2025. Subscribe by Amazon Music or by iTunes or email to our unique Christian newscast at www.TheWorldview.com.

Barbara Ryan, Wedding celebrant on the trend

“Types of Pastoral Care Practices There are various ways to practice pastoral care, including: Premarital counseling: Premarital counseling helps to prepare couples for unity in marriage. Pastors may recommend Bible verses, books, articles, and discussion topics for couples to review and pray about as they plan their life together. Weddings: Pastors performing weddings play the special role of celebrating and instituting a covenant relationship. Hospital visits: Visits to hospitals and care facilities can help those who are sick or injured to feel supported and remembered by their church family. Funerals: By facilitating funerals and caring for individuals and families in the grieving process, church leaders share the burdens of those experiencing the loss of human life. Serving the community: Church leaders can lead their congregation in providing food, clothing, and other material needs—as well as community services and gatherings—for local neighbors. In meeting with and listening to the community, churches can better connect, share the gospel, and partner with their neighbors. Birth and adoption celebrations: Meeting new parents with practical assistance like meals, diapers, financial resources, and childcare can help families care well for their children. Sustained support along the journey of parenting is another way that pastoral care can support families for long-term thriving. Spiritual direction: This pastoral care practice involves prayerful companionship and discipleship that points a person to scripture and fosters spiritual growth. -https://calvinseminary.edu/blog/difference-pastoral-care-counseling/. “What is a Humanist Chaplain? A Humanist Chaplain is a secular clergy person who provides comfort, guidance, and emotional support without relying on any religious doctrine or dogma. They also strive to promote reason, ethics, and compassion in the lives of those they serve. Humanist Chaplains usually have a staff position at universities, hospitals, prisons, or other settings where chaplains are typically present. Why is the Role of Humanist Chaplain Important? The role of a Humanist Chaplain is crucial as they provide emotional and moral support to individuals who identify as nonreligious (or anyone who wants it, regardless of their beliefs). They serve as a comforting presence offering guidance and counseling in times of crisis, grief, or ethical dilemmas. Their work helps to foster a sense of community and belonging among people who may feel isolated or misunderstood because of their secular beliefs. Humanist Chaplains contribute significantly to the diversity and inclusivity of moral and spiritual perspectives in society.” -https://nathanbweller.com/what-is-a-humanist-chaplain/. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/antonio-myers4/support
