Podcasts about our mother

Tasha Ransom is an artist.More specifically, she is a musician, a painter, a photographer, and a writer. She's also a great conversationalist, and she is my guest for Episode No. 173.Tasha stopped by last week and sat across from me at the table. We swapped a great many phrases and touched on things like growing up, family, self-discovery, and music. Somewhere in the mix, we managed to have a brief gander at a few of her favorite records. Those were these:Our Mother the Mountain (1969), Townes Van ZandtT. Rex's Electric Warrior (1971)1 (2000), The BeatlesRed Elvises' Drinking with Jesus (2008)Please consider giving Tasha an Instagram follow at @tasharansomart; you can see pics of some of her work there. Find her via that same handle on YouTube, where you can check out her music videos, and find even more information at tasharansomart.com. Many thanks to Morgen Agesen for batting .500 with her awesome list of referrals. You can check out my conversation with her (Episode No. 166), and while you're in that neighborhood, John Knell and Ernie Yates episodes also appear (also courtesy of Morgen's connections).And many thanks to those who have supported the podcast.My only derp for the week was that I goofed up the UKG and the Run the Jewels lineups. I do now recall that UKG is Pimp C. & Bun B., and that Run the Jewels is El-P and Killer Mike. And I will recall that all the way up until the next time I don't.Anyway...copyright disclaimer: I do not own the rights to the audio clips contained within this episode. I snatched those little portions from a tune called, "Sacred Sands," off of Allah-Las self-titled release from 2012, c/o Innovative Leisure.

My friends Ashli Carnicelli, Trina Caudle, and McArthur Krishna join us to talk about their new book “Mother in Heaven: A Gospel Topics Essay Study Guide.” The book is exactly what the title says: a study guide for the Church's Gospel Topics essay on Heavenly Mother. The book authors talk about the spiritual benefits in our lives of learning about the doctrine of Heavenly Mother and why She matters. This book is aligned with official Church statements and teachings about the doctrine of Heavenly Mother. The authors hope that it helps people seeking our Mother in Heaven to spiritually connect with Her so She is real, intentional, and active in our lives and in Church conversations. Thank you, Ashli, Trina and McArthur, for your needed work. I was deeply moved by your insights and good hearts. I encourage everyone to read this book.

We are living in a world that seems to be unraveling at the seams - where chaos, polarization, and anxiety have become our default settings - we need a different way of being. Today, I'm sitting down with Eric Clayton, who's been wrestling with the question: What if peace isn't just the absence of conflict, but a transformative way of living? Eric's new book, "Finding Peace Here and Now," isn't another self-help manual. It's an invitation - a roadmap drawn from Ignatian spirituality that challenges us to look deeper. How do we build peace when everything around us seems designed to tear us apart? How do we find stillness in the storm, not by escaping the world, but by showing up differently? We'll explore how peace starts within us, how it's cultivated through compassion, creativity, and a willingness to see the humanity in everyone - even those we disagree with. This isn't about being passive. It's about a strength so profound it can disarm violence without raising a hand. If you're feeling overwhelmed, if you're searching for hope in a world that seems to have lost its way, this conversation is for you. So join us as we walk through what peace really means. Eric Clayton is an award-winning writer and author of three books on Ignatian spirituality and everyday living, including, "Finding Peace Here and Now: How Ignatian Spirituality Leads Us to Healing and Wholeness," "My Life with the Jedi: The Spirituality of Star Wars," and "Cannonball Moments: Telling Your Story, Deepening Your Faith." He has a children's book, "Our Mother, Too: Mary Embraces the World," which was co-authored by Shannon K. Evans releasing this year. Eric is the deputy director for communications at the Jesuit Conference of Canada and the United States where he manages the award-winning weekly column, "Now Discern This," guest hosts "AMDG: A Jesuit Podcast" and provides filming, writing and audio support for a range of multimedia projects. He has an MA in International Media from American University, a BA in International Studies and Creative Writing from Fairfield University and a graduate certificate in the Ignatian Tradition from Creighton University. He lives in Towson, MD with his family.Eric's Book:Finding Peace Here and NowEric's Recommendation:Changing PlanesSubscribe to Our Substack: Shifting CultureConnect with Joshua: jjohnson@allnations.usGo to www.shiftingculturepodcast.com to interact and donate.

Many of our kids begin to internalize, “I'm a bad kid, I'm slow so I'm not smart, there's something wrong with me. I'm always in trouble, no one is ever happy with me.” That internal dialogue will sabotage your child's success and relationships for a lifetime (many of us still struggle with limiting beliefs). The good news is we can change that NOW. Kirk gives you specific scripts to cultivate your child's confidence and help teachers get on board.Our Mother's Day Sale Begins This Week!

I don't know what it's like to be a Mom. So I wanted to share the powerful reflections of a real life Mom—not an expert Mom or someone who has it all together—for three reasons. Because her voice, like yours, deserves to be heard and respected and honored. I think this will encourage A LOT of Moms so you feel seen.

Shweta Aggarwal is an author and activist fighting for a world free from conscious and subconscious bias. Drawing from her personal experiences with colourism, Shweta is dedicated to exposing this often unrecognised, trivialised form of discrimination and its impact on individuals and communities globally. In this episode, we explore the complexities of colourism, the subtle, pervasive ways it manifests itself across global communities, and her personal journey of self-discovery through writing. Shweta also shares insights from her recent book, "The Black Rose," which offers a powerful narrative on identity, family, and the path to self-acceptance. Shweta is a leading voice in discussions about racial bias and promoting cultural understanding. Her work bridges cultures and generations, enabling open conversations about difficult topics and helping individuals unpick their own unconscious biases. As well as her recently published ‘Black Rose', she has authored a children's book and is a transformative speaker at prestigious institutions including Columbia and NYU.   Shweta believes that combating colourism isn't just about addressing overt discrimination; it's about recognising and unpicking our own subconscious biases. Her insights are invaluable for understanding the nuanced ways prejudice manifests in our daily lives and what we can collectively do to build a more inclusive society.  Book for Emmeline Recommendations:  ‘Sunflower Sisters' by Minka Singh Gangotra ‘How Our Skin Sparkles' by Aditi Wardhan Singh  Other material that we discuss during this episode:  ‘The Vanishing Half' by Brit Bennett ‘Caste' by Isabel Wilkerson ‘In Search of Our Mother's Gardens' by Alice Walker weta's books: Dev and Ollie The Black Rose: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Black-Rose-Shweta-Aggarwal/dp/0993232876/ref=sr_1_1?crid=CS

From the responsorial psalm: "Blessed are you, daughter, by the Most High God, above all the women on earth; and blessed be the LORD God, the creator of heaven and earth. You are the highest honor of our race." A reading from the holy Gospel according to Luke (Lk 1:26-38) But Mary said to the angel, “How can this be, since I have no relations with a man?” And the angel said to her in reply, “The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you. Therefore the child to be born will be called holy, the Son of God." When the angel Gabriel visits Mary, she has been from the moment of her conception, full of grace. Mary is troubled to receive the message that she will bear a son, that she will name Jesus, and that he will be called Son of the Most High. A virgin, Mary questions how this can be, and Gabriel explains to her that the power of the Most High will overshadow her. In Mary's fiat, accepting God's will without fully understanding how his overshadowing will unfold, we have an example of one who is full of Grace and accepts God's will, letting it be done according to his word. Our Lady of Guadalupe, Our Mother, said this to Juan Diego and comes to all of us through his account of the apparitions: "Hear me and understand well, my little son, that nothing should frighten or grieve you. Let not your heart be disturbed. Do not fear that sickness, nor any other sickness or anguish. Am I not here, who is your Mother?" God, help me trust you through the example of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Troubles come, troubling events unfold. Yet, Mary shows me how to respond to all the troubles the world can mount upon me in full force. Because she trusts in you and is completely obedient to your will, she is confident in your love and able to say, "Let not your heart be disturbed." And so that I can ask her to intercede for me in full confidence, who does Mary say that she is? In her words, she is "in person, the ever-virgin Holy Mary, Mother of God." Our Lady of Guadalupe, pray for us! Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit, as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/lectio-divina-daily/support

Megan Conner has known her older cousin, Lori Vallow Daybell, all her life.  They grew up within their tightly-knit, extended family in the context of the Mormon faith.  Megan eloquently explains the roots of the triple murders which her cousin was found guilty of.  This included the murder of Meegan's niece and nephew, Tylee Ryan, and Joshua "JJ" Jaxon Vallow at the hands of her cousin ("filicide").  The third conviction was for the homicide of Lori's last husband's wife, Tammy.  Lori was sentenced to three consecutive life terms. (Lori faces two additional counts of conspiracy to commit murder related to the death of her fourth husband, Charles Vallow, and conspiring to kill her niece's ex-husband Brandon Boudreaux.)Lori's children went missing in 2019 which set off a national manhunt for their whereabouts.  Lori was nick-named "Doomsday Mom" in the popular press due to her religious beliefs solidified in the Netflix documentary series "Sins of Our Mother."Today Megan speaks out in the hope that people will look upon the tragedy in her family as a cautionary tale.  She urges others to speak the truth, heed warning signs and get outside help earlier rather than later.
