Podcasts about Oldfield

In this lecture, Elizabeth Oldfield delves into the profound message of love as articulated in 1 John 4:7-19, unpacking its implications for our lives during turbulent times. She invites the audience to explore how love serves as both a divine command and an antidote to fear—a theme that resonates deeply in a world marked by uncertainty. Drawing from her experiences and insights, Oldfield emphasizes the importance of loving one another as a reflection of God's love for us, suggesting that such love not only unites but also strengthens communities.Oldfield begins by highlighting the emotional weight of the scripture, identifying a specific focus on the connection between love and fear. She asserts that fear can be an antithesis to love; those who fear have not been made perfect in love. This notion challenges the audience to reconsider their responses to fear, recognizing it as a barrier that can inhibit genuine connections. Through personal anecdotes, she illustrates how fear manifests in various domains of life and encourages attendees to confront these emotions rather than succumb to them. Emphasizing the relational aspect of faith, Oldfield articulates a model for spiritual growth rooted in love, arguing that we must love one another because we are first loved by God. She encourages the audience to view every interaction with others as an opportunity to express that love, even in the face of personal challenges. By moving towards one another during anxious times, communities can foster resilience and solidarity, which can lead to transformative experiences—ultimately positioning love as the counterforce to fear.The lecturer addresses the complexities of community dynamics, candidly acknowledging that loving others can be arduous. Oldfield points out that while the call to love may seem straightforward, it often involves personal sacrifice and the willingness to confront uncomfortable truths. The love we show to others reflects the love we have received from God, a love that is not dependent on our or others' flaws. This foundational idea underscores the importance of forgiveness and reconciliation within the community, as these practices serve to reinforce bonds and dissolve divisions.In closing, Oldfield leaves the audience with a call to action, emphasizing three practical steps: rooting down deep in God's love, actively moving towards each other in the face of fear, and committing to reconciliation where relationships may be strained. By embracing these concepts, she argues, individuals not only fortify their spiritual foundation but also contribute to creating safe spaces where all can be truly seen and valued. The lecture concludes with an invitation for attendees to lean into community practices that embody love, encouraging them to support one another through prayer and shared experience, thereby reinforcing the message that love is the medicine for a fearful world.

When we find Him, we finally find rest. We finally come home. Join us on the journey back to the heart of God. | For more information go to c3tuggerah.org.au

Kan religiös extas hjälpa oss att bryta med dödssynderna? Och hur formar man gemenskaper i en polariserad tid? Läsarpoddens Joel Halldorf och Patrik Hagman har läst "Fully Alive" av Elizabeth Oldfield och samtalar om vägen till mognad i turbulenta tider.

Much of ethics is relational: it's about how we treat other people, the world around us, and how those relationships shape who we become. In philosophy, this often gets formalised as a set of virtues to cultivate, duties to obey, or harms to avoid. But today, we rarely talk about sins – let alone the seven deadly sins. Historically rooted in the Christian tradition – pride, greed, lust, envy, gluttony, wrath, and sloth – have been understood not just as personal failings. They were taken seriously because they obscured what it meant to flourish: that is, to be fully alive. They are, fundamentally, habits of being that corrode our ability to love. So, what might we learn today from the seven deadly sins? How can these ancient categories illuminate our lives, in a world marked by disconnection and distraction? In this episode, we'll be speaking about the seven sins with Elizabeth Oldfield. Elizabeth is a writer, speaker, host of The Sacred podcast, and the former director of Theos Think Tank. In her recent book Fully Alive, she revives the seven deadly sins – not as a tool for moral condemnation, but as a lens through which to examine our practices and principles. We'll be talking with Elizabeth about how sin, properly understood, can help us confront the crisis of meaning and the collapse of community. We'll also explore her Christian vision of moral transformation and why it's vital to believers and non-believers alike.

What happens when you take a bike built for two and bring it to some of the most rugged, remote and challenging bikepacking in the world? You get tandemonium, and honestly, Shona and Rich Oldfield wouldn't have it any other way. Shona and Rich live in Manchester, UK, where they run Keep Pedalling, a small but mighty bike shop dedicated to supplying help, advice, and bikes for adventures. Over the past decade, they've quietly become legends in the bikepack racing world — not for winning races, but for how they show up: almost always together, and usually on a tandem. It's long, it's heavy, and by most standards absolutely the “wrong” bike for these races — which, of course, makes it perfect for them. In this episode, we talk about what it's actually like to race a tandem off-road: how they divide roles on the bike, what happens when one of them wants to sleep (and the other doesn't), and why Rich refuses to use the brakes. They also share some wild hallucination stories, dog packing with their pup Olive, and how the tandem has become a symbol of their approach to life: good-humoured, stubborn, and quietly joyful. Shona and Rich remind us that these events are supposed to be fun, and that there's no “right” way to do these things, just the way that works for you.

John 1:1 tells us, "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God." Jesus, the Son of God, calls us to follow Him completely—leaving everything behind. Luke 5 reveals how Jesus disrupted lives: fishermen, a leper, a paralyzed man, and a tax collector—each called into something greater. True discipleship is costly but leads to transformation. Are you willing to leave behind what holds you back? For more information go to c3tuggerah.org.au

Send us a textEpisode 185For nearly six years, the Yorkshire Ripper terrorized the north of England. Thirteen women murdered, seven more brutally attacked. And for much of that time, the man leading the hunt was George Oldfield—one of Britain's most respected detectives.But this is not just the story of a killer. It is the story of a mistake, one that cost lives and shattered reputations.In 1979, with the public gripped by fear and the investigation at a standstill, a package arrived at West Yorkshire Police. Inside was a cassette tape, its contents chilling. A man with a heavy Wearside accent taunted the police, mocking their failure to catch him, signing off with a sinister warning:"I'm Jack. I see you're still having no luck catching me.'' Tick, tock, tick, tock.Oldfield was convinced. This was their man. The Ripper. For months, the full force of British policing turned its attention to the Northeast, ignoring leads that pointed elsewhere. And while they searched for a phantom, Peter Sutcliffe kept killing.This is the story of how a hoaxer fooled the police, how an entire investigation was derailed, and how George Oldfield, a man who gave everything to catch a monster, became the case's 14th victim.Download Here https://www.buzzsprout.com/259571/episodes/16778207-george-oldfield-the-14th-victim.mp3?download=trueSupport the showInsta@justpassingthroughpodcastContact:justpassingthroughpodcast@gmail.com

Have you experienced lingering pain after an injury that doesn't go away even though you've done everything you can to heal?   Most of us assume that physical pain is a physical issue and seek medical diagnoses from expensive specialists who promise to fix the problem or at least manage the symptoms.    But what do you do when treatment doesn't work and chronic pain becomes demoralizing?    Today I'm talking with Georgie Oldfield, a pioneering physiotherapist and founder of SIRPA–the Stress Illness Recovery Practitioners Association.

What does it truly mean to be a disciple of Jesus? In Follow Me Part 2: UNMASKED, we dive into the call to love God and others with complete authenticity (Matthew 22:37-40). Since the fall, humanity has hidden behind masks—fear, comparison, pride—but Jesus came to remove them. He unmasked everyone He encountered, revealing truth and freedom. The masquerade is over. Are you willing to be real with God, yourself, and others? Let’s step out of hiding and walk in His truth. “For the Spirit God gave us does not make us timid…” (2 Timothy 1:7).

But how do you build trust when trust in leadership is at an all-time low?Natalie Doyle Oldfield is a globally recognized expert on trust and author of Trusted: The Proven Path to Customer Loyalty and Business Growth. She explains how trust is often formed subconsciously as the first thing in an interaction between humans. People decide whether to trust you based on gut feeling and perception of your presence.

Today we conclude our worship series Fully Alive, based on the book of the same title by Elizabeth Oldfield. The book reminds us of the wisdom our Christian faith tradition holds. There are a million places for us to find meaning and wisdom for our lives, and so often Christianity gets overlooked as irrelevant—out of touch with current reality. But within the Christian faith, there are signposts that show us how to become the kind of human this world needs. In a world of division, pointing fingers, selfishness, and ecological destruction, we can be part of the solution—someone who is living “fully alive” and not wasting this one wild and precious life. Oldfield shares this wisdom using the framework of the seven deadly sins: how they show up in our lives and what it would look like to move towards more positive, life-giving virtues. Sin, in essence, is anything that causes disconnection between ourselves and others, us and the natural world, or us and God. Sin needs to be met with grace rather than judgment—both in ourselves and others. Because sin does not define us—our worst choices are not who we are. It's simply part of the human experience—these temptations pull us in one direction when often, we truly want to go another way. And this series is meant to help us bring awareness to our own sins—to acknowledge how these temptations show up in our lives. Then, using scripture, think about how God is calling us to live—connected, whole, and well. We are concluding our series talking about what some consider the foundational sin of pride.

Jesus calls us to follow Him—not just in words but in action, faith, and obedience. But what does that truly mean? How do we grow spiritually when we feel stuck?

On this episode of the Customers First Podcast, I welcomed back Natalie Doyle Oldfield, founder of Success Through Trust and author of her newly released book, "Trusted: The Proven Path to Customer Loyalty and Business Growth." Natalie's expertise in trust-based relationships serves as a cornerstone for businesses aiming for customer satisfaction and deeper loyalty and growth. We dive into the journey that led her to write her second book and the significant findings derived from her research into the essence of customer trust. Natalie shares her passion for understanding the motivations behind consumer behaviour and the crucial role trust plays in whether businesses succeed or falter. We delve into the eight principles outlined in "Trusted," starting with the necessity of deep listening imbued with empathy and compassion. It is about understanding and validating the other person's experiences and perspectives, which is vital in any professional engagement. As we unpack the subsequent principles, Natalie emphasizes the importance of clear, honest, and transparent communication. Our conversation also touches on behaviours that can erode trust, including inconsistency and dishonesty, and how leaders can operationalize trust-building practices within their teams. As our dialogue unfolds, it becomes clear that genuine trust is the path to customer loyalty. Natalie urges listeners to recognize that relationships are at the heart of every successful business transaction, emphasizing that when individuals feel trusted and valued, they are likely to reciprocate that loyalty. Throughout this episode, it's evident that trust is not just an abstract concept; it is a measurable and actionable factor that every business can aspire to enhance.

Does the overwhelm and experience of trauma create a pre-existing state in our nervous system that sets the stage for chronic pain conditions? In this episode, we will be talking about chronic pain as a message from our body. Part of an unconscious protective response learned by nerve pathways rather than a physical abnormality. While chronic pain can be traced back to an injury or event, the science suggests  chronic pain is caused by our brain's attempt to protect us from unbearable emotions. In fact, this purpose of protection is at the root of many common complaints, including back pain, sciatica, migraines, fibromyalgia and many other symptoms.  I have an incredible guest for this episode, Georgie Odlfield, a physiotherapist and chronic pain specialist, who has been a real leader in this space. Georgie is a TEDx speaker and the author of Chronic Pain: Your Key to Recovery. She is a woman, steady and strong in her leadership in trauma-informed care for chronic pain.  I first came across her work when I sought out training in psychosomatic medicine while in preventive medicine residency. I had just switched out of general surgery and knew that I wanted to lean in more into the root cause of conditions that I had only previously been taught to treat with a pill or surgery. This is how I came across these leaders in the space, and have been happy to see Georgie provide such value and community for those with chronic pain and practitioners who work with chronic pain. In this episode, you'll learn: How chronic ongoing pain or recurring symptoms can actually be neuroplastic mind body symptoms How to ask questions that will help you get to the root of your chronic pain symptoms and release them  Why somebody is more likely to develop chronic pain after having an acute injury and the predisposing factors for this How chronic pain can be the body's protective response to keep us from falling apart emotionally How to communicate with your body, and not just hear but also understand the answers it's giving you For more information and show notes, please visit our website: https://biologyoftrauma.com/biology-of-trauma-podcast/

Fully Alive: Tending to the Soul in Turbulent Times (part 3), in Old Fashioned Sunday School with the Rev. Canon George Maxwell, from the Episcopal Cathedral of St. Philip, AtlantaThe fall election season promises to be a trying time for all of us, regardless of political disposition. The heightened energy of the campaigns causes us to feel like we need to have opinions on things we don't really understand, to argue until the person in front of us concedes that we're right, and to stop seeing those who don't. The result is pervasive disconnection.Elizabeth Oldfield, the host of the Sacred podcast and former director and now senior fellow of the think tank Theos, offers a way for us to stay connected. In her new book, Fully Alive: Tending to the Soul in Turbulent Times, Oldfield explores how religion helps us to develop deep principles and values that help us grow in empathy and curiosity for people different from ourselves. Canon Maxwell will lead a discussion that looks more deeply at Oldfield's insights and explore how they might play out in our lives. Copies of the book may be purchased in the Cathedral Bookstore.

Cleo Wade chats with the author of Fully Alive, which reframes the concept of the seven deadly sins as a framework to explore human nature, connection, and spiritual growth in modern times.

Today, we're sharing a beautiful conversation between writer and thinker Elizabeth Oldfield and Zachary Davis. Elizabeth is the author of Fully Alive: Tending to the Soul in Turbulent Times and host of the podcast, “Sacred”. Elizabeth grew up in a faintly Christian home that rarely if ever spoke of God; But as a young teen she had a powerful and unmistakable answer to prayer that made her a believer. She then turned to the Bible to learn more about her newfound christian faith and was blindsided by ideas in the text that she found troubling. So in this conversation, Elizabeth talks about her complex faith-  how she learned to lean into the messy paradoxes of life since then. She explores the concept of sin and the 7 deadly sins. She asks, what can envy teach us about having a stable sense of self especially in this age of social media? And isn't acedia or sloth, the 8th deadly sin, really about attention? How can we continually recall our attention to the things we hope will shape our souls?She points out that at the end of the day, the 7 deadly sins aren't a legalistic list of ways to be in debt to go, but a loving guide for how to be in right relationship with the people around us, and should always be inseparably connected to ideas like compassion, forgiveness, and restoration.We hope you enjoy listening to this episode as much as we did. And, we have exciting news to share– Elizabeth Oldfied will be coming to Utah as one of our featured speakers at Restore! So go to faithmatters/org/restore for tickets and we'll see you on September 5-7 at Mountain America Expo in Sandy, Utah. And with that, we'll jump right in. 

Lord Acton famously said, “Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely.” Was he right? Mike Erre is back to discuss the way Christians think about power, and why he believes our pursuit of power over the world is not the way of Jesus. Then, author Elizabeth Oldfield talks with Kaitlyn about her new book, “Fully Alive,” which uses the Seven Deadly Sins as a bridge for introducing secular people to the wisdom of Christianity.
