Podcasts about particularity

Sign up for our next Designing Your Life small group coaching program starting in April here __________________________ What happens when you've done everything “right” — built a successful career, made a difference, checked the boxes — and yet something still is missing? Today I'm joined by Dave Evans, co-author of How to Live a Meaningful Life: Using Design Thinking to Unlock Purpose, Joy, and Flow Every Day and the #1 New York Times Bestseller Designing Your Life, and a longtime Stanford educator, to explore a question many people quietly wrestle with in the second half of life: Why doesn't impact bring lasting meaning — and what actually does? Dave shares insights from his newest work with Bill Burnett on meaning, presence, and what he calls the shift from role to soul. We talk about why chasing fulfillment often backfires, why the most meaningful moments are often small and fleeting, and how many of us live almost entirely in what he calls the “transactional world” — often missing the richness of the present moment that's available right now. This conversation is especially relevant if you're nearing retirement, newly retired, or simply sensing that achievement alone isn't enough anymore. Dave offers practical reframes, deeply human stories, and a powerful idea he calls the scandal of particularity — a concept that may completely change how you think about what a well-lived life really looks like. Dave Evans joins us from California to discuss How to Live a Meaningful Life. ___________________________ Bio Dave Evans is the co-author of How to Live a Meaningful Life: Using Design Thinking to Unlock Purpose, Joy, and Flow Every Day.

You’re constantly evolving into hopefully your more and more authentic self – never your complete self, by the way… there’s no way you’re ever going to get done.” On Shifting from Role to Soul “I think, particularly in that second half transition, you’re really looking at what we call the shift from role to soul. And by role, I am primarily identifying who I am as a person, my sense of what makes me who I am, is what I do in the roles and I have in the world, mostly in institutions called, you know, companies or employment or families. And I get this feedback loop from being the Dad, from being the General Manager, from being the mailman, or from whatever it is that says I’m doing the right thing, I’m getting paid for it, and the world’s a better place. And that’s the achievement feedback loop, which for most people that’s what we mostly hear from people is the primary thing. And as life moves along, even if you’re still achieving, I still have four part time jobs. But my relationship with that achieving role is very different than it used to be. And you start moving more and more where your life is really simply about expressing as authentically as you can in the world, who it is that you actually are.” On the Scandal of Particularity “The scandal of particularity is the recognition that all wonderful things only come in these small bite-sized pieces that are temporary, incomplete, partial, but reflections of the true thing. So if you radically accept you’re never going to get all of it, then you go, Oh, so what I really want to do is when the opportunity for some beauty or some truth shows up at all is dive all in, fully celebrate and enjoy it.”

On the holy mount stands the city he founded; 2     the Lord loves the gates of Zion     more than all the dwelling places of Jacob. 3 Glorious things of you are spoken,     O city of God.  4 Among those who know me I mention Rahab and Babylon;     behold, Philistia and Tyre, with Cush—     “This one was born there,” they say. 5 And of Zion it shall be said,     “This one and that one were born in her”;     for the Most High himself will establish her. 6 The Lord records as he registers the peoples,     “This one was born there.”  7 Singers and dancers alike say,     “All my springs are in you.”1.     Which bothers you more, exclusivity or inclusivity?2.     God was exclusive in order to be inclusive. Does this make sense to you? Can you put that in your own words?3.     Who are your Philistines or Gazans? Who do you not want to be your neighbor?4.     How should new life in Jesus impact the way you treat and welcome others?5.     How can always re-focusing on Jesus reduce the barriers to entry in our community?

Second Sunday of Advent Old Testament Malachi 3:1-4 See, I am sending my messenger to prepare the way before me, and the Lord whom you seek will suddenly come to his temple. The messenger of the covenant in whom you delight-- indeed, he is coming, says the Lord of hosts. But who can endure the day of his coming, and who can stand when he appears? For he is like a refiner's fire and like fullers' soap; he will sit as a refiner and purifier of silver, and he will purify the descendants of Levi and refine them like gold and silver, until they present offerings to the Lord in righteousness. Then the offering of Judah and Jerusalem will be pleasing to the Lord as in the days of old and as in former years. The Song of Zechariah     Benedictus Dominus Deus Luke 1: 68-79 Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel; * he has come to his people and set them free. He has raised up for us a mighty savior, * born of the house of his servant David. Through his holy prophets he promised of old, that he would save us from our enemies, * from the hands of all who hate us. He promised to show mercy to our fathers * and to remember his holy covenant. This was the oath he swore to our father Abraham, * to set us free from the hands of our enemies, Free to worship him without fear, * holy and righteous in his sight  all the days of our life. You, my child, shall be called the prophet of the Most High, * for you will go before the Lord to prepare his way, To give his people knowledge of salvation * by the forgiveness of their sins. In the tender compassion of our God * the dawn from on high shall break upon us, To shine on those who dwell in darkness and the shadow of death, * and to guide our feet into the way of peace. Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit: * as it was in the beginning, is now, and will be for ever. Amen. The New Testament Philippians 1:3-11 I thank my God every time I remember you, constantly praying with joy in every one of my prayers for all of you, because of your sharing in the gospel from the first day until now. I am confident of this, that the one who began a good work among you will bring it to completion by the day of Jesus Christ. It is right for me to think this way about all of you, because you hold me in your heart, for all of you share in God's grace with me, both in my imprisonment and in the defense and confirmation of the gospel. For God is my witness, how I long for all of you with the compassion of Christ Jesus. And this is my prayer, that your love may overflow more and more with knowledge and full insight to help you to determine what is best, so that in the day of Christ you may be pure and blameless, having produced the harvest of righteousness that comes through Jesus Christ for the glory and praise of God. The Gospel Luke 3:1-6 In the fifteenth year of the reign of Emperor Tiberius, when Pontius Pilate was governor of Judea, and Herod was ruler of Galilee, and his brother Philip ruler of the region of Ituraea and Trachonitis, and Lysanias ruler of Abilene, during the high priesthood of Annas and Caiaphas, the word of God came to John son of Zechariah in the wilderness. He went into all the region around the Jordan, proclaiming a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins, as it is written in the book of the words of the prophet Isaiah, "The voice of one crying out in the wilderness: 'Prepare the way of the Lord, make his paths straight. Every valley shall be filled, and every mountain and hill shall be made low, and the crooked shall be made straight, and the rough ways made smooth; and all flesh shall see the salvation of God.'"

Be Surprising - Episode 3 : The Scandal of Particularity

Welcome back to the Effective Ministry Podcast! The first in a three part series on Identity, Sexuality and Gender, in this episode, Al James sits down with Simon Swadling to explore the phrase 'finding your identity in Christ.' They discuss the pressures young people face around identity, why the phrase might be more harmful than helpful, and its lack of biblical backing. Simon shares his thoughts on how the phrase can promote individualism and a disconnect between our spiritual and physical lives. The alternative is to focus on building deep, meaningful relationships with Jesus and finding new ways to talk about our worth and identity.Simon is a Children's Minister at Summer Hill Anglican, as well as working for Living Faith and Single Minded.You can access his writing and reflection on identity and other things at his Substack.Register for LiTRegistrations for Leaders in Training (LiT) 2024/25 are open for:-Spring (September 30-Oct 4, 2024) ***rego now closed***-Summer 1 (January 22-26, 2025)-Summer 2 (January 26-30, 2025)Find Out More about Square OneTo find out more about Square One visit the youthworks website.There is still space at Square One Spring 2 - 8th-10th November.

Geofence warrants, also known as reverse-location warrants, allow law enforcement to request data from technology companies like Google to identify all devices within a specified geographic area during a certain time frame. Critics argue that these warrants are unconstitutional under the Fourth Amendment, which protects against unreasonable searches and seizures, for several reasons.Lack of Particularity and Probable Cause: Geofence warrants do not require law enforcement to establish probable cause for each individual whose data is collected. Instead, they broadly capture data from all devices within a certain area, which can include many innocent people unrelated to the crime under investigation. This lack of specificity contrasts with the Fourth Amendment's requirement that warrants must particularly describe the place to be searched and the persons or things to be seized​​.Overbreadth: These warrants often cover large areas and extended time periods, making them overbroad. They can include locations where suspects are unlikely to be and times when suspects are known not to be present, thus encompassing many innocent people. This broad scope is similar to general warrants, which were explicitly rejected by the framers of the Constitution because they allowed indiscriminate searches​​.Privacy Concerns: The collection of such vast amounts of location data intrudes significantly on individual privacy. Data from sources like Google's Sensorvault, which stores detailed location information, can reveal intimate details about a person's life, such as where they live, work, and visit, raising substantial privacy concerns​​.Potential for Misuse and Errors: Geofence warrants can lead to false positives, implicating innocent individuals who happen to be in the area. There have been instances where people were wrongfully detained based on inaccurate location data​​.Despite these concerns, some courts have upheld geofence warrants if they believe law enforcement acted in good faith or if the warrants met certain statutory requirements. However, the growing use of geofence warrants has sparked significant debate and calls for clearer legal standards to protect privacy and constitutional rights.(commercial at 12:22)To contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comSource:https://www.yahoo.com/news/google-says-geofence-warrants-one-215401933.htmlBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Once again, the faithful Bishop of Liverpool urges us not only to talk to God and to talk to God specifically about what is on our hearts, but he also invites us to thoughtful and honest time with our Savior. Day 20 of our October Surprise, looking at "A Call to Prayer," written in 1836. Believe it or not, it applies to this present age. Today, Pastor Ryle will fire our souls to be particular in our prayers. We might say specific in our prayers, or at least your simple principal would. Lol out loud. . Our mentor: "I commend to you the importance of particularity in prayer. We ought not to be content with great general petitions. We ought to specify our wants before the throne of grace. It should not be enough to confess we are sinners: we should name the sins of which our conscience tells us we are most guilty. It should not be enough to ask for holiness; we should name the graces in which we feel most deficient. It should not be enough to tell the Lord we are in trouble; we should describe our trouble and all its peculiarities." "What should we think of the child who told his father he was in trouble but nothing more? Christ is the true bridegroom of the soul, the true physician of the heart, the real father of all his people. Let us show that we feel this by being unreserved in our communications." We need not be like Esther, afraid to walk unbidden into the throne room of her husband, the king. It could have cost her her life, and she did not know him well enough to come in and implore him for her needs. We need not be like Ezra in Ezra 8, who was afraid to ask the king for soldiers because he had trumpeted the power of God to protect Ezra and his comrades on their journey back home. (They did have some fear, which moved them to pray to God for protection!) We are commended to: "Let us therefore draw near with confidence to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and may find grace to help in time of need." Hebrews 4:16 Open and laid bare as we are. "What a man is on his knees before God, that he is and nothing more."

Hello Fully Automated listeners! This is a rebroadcast of Episode 6 of Class Unity: Transmissions, as posted here. Transmissions is the official podcast of Class Unity, and I want to thank them for their permission to use this episode. You can find out more about Class Unity over at https://classunity.org/ For those curious, there will be more independent 'Fully Automated' content coming soon. But I will continue to repost those 'Transmissions' episodes in which I am involved, as I think they will be of interest to listeners of this show, too. Hello comrades! Welcome to our sixth episode of Class Unity Transmissions.  In this episode, we open with a quick check-in with our comrade Jamal, from CU Chicago, who has been studying the recent strikes in France. Then we move to our interview recorded earlier this year with Armand M, one of the authors of our article from last September, “Gay Particularity, Reconsidered.”  In the interview, we discuss some main points from Armand's piece. We look at how, in the late 80s and 90s, activist organizations such as ACT UP participated in civil disobedience actions against insurance rate increases and worked to expand universal Medicaid benefits to include AIDS treatment. In 1990, when Congress refused to release funds already earmarked for AIDS services, claiming that patients with other conditions were more deserving, ACT UP called for national health insurance. What was it about the ACT-UP era that made the gay rights movement so capable of articulating universalistic political demands?  We also look at the struggle for gay marriage, and how it effectively diverted financial resources and political energy away from organizations prioritizing healthcare and employment. Given that the gay liberation movement has not always supported this demand, what changed? Armand discusses the role of “respectability politics” in diverting the struggle from a more traditional leftist perspective. Notwithstanding the importance of access to health insurance and spousal inheritance for partners, Armand suggests that the shift toward gay marriage should be viewed as a conservative turn in queer politics.  Next we turn to the historical emergence of queer identity. Postmodern theorists like Judith Butler tend to see politics as essentially a question of identity, and thought. In this light, politics for them is necessarily the question of a slow, patient struggle to change unconsciously held ideas. However, notes Armand, while homosexual behavior has always been present in human societies, "queer" identification is only a very recent phenomenon and its emergence, as we will see, cannot be understood apart from its specific socio-economic conditions of possibility.  We also discuss some wider literature around this topic (see links below). For example, we address Roger Lancaster's piece in Jacobin, "Identity Politics Can Only Get Us So Far.” Lancaster raises the question of how today's “identity” version of gay liberation struggle orbits this idea of a certain quest for one's subjective essence. Earlier versions, to the contrary, saw “coming out” as an “indispensable means” for building a political movement. Among other things, this means that earlier liberationists generally took a dialectical approach to sexual categories. We ask Armand how this “pre-Stonewall” idea of a subjective labeling understood from the outset as something eventually to be cast aside connects with Marx's notion of the eventual self-abolition of the "proletariat.”  Other key points raised include the relation of identity-based struggle to CU's concept of the iron triangle, the limits of aesthetic struggle ("psychosocial emancipation),” and the extent to which Armand's critique of the limits of contemporary gay liberation struggle might be expanded to other cases.  Your hosts for this episode are Nicholas K, Steph K, and Jamal.  Here is a list of the readings mentioned in the article:  Andrew Davis (2010),

"Somewhere is better than anywhere." (Flannery O'Connor, as quoted by Wendell Berry in Sex, Economy, Freedom & Community) Today, Christian ethicist Adam Eitel (Yale Divinity School) sits with Matt Croasmun for a conversation on ethics and theolgoy. Eitel is Assistant Professor of Christian Ethics at Yale Divinity School. Together, he and Matt discuss the demands of teaching and learning theology on personal character—holiness even; the relationship between ethics and theology; the locatedness and situatedness and particularity of Christian ethics; and the rooted, framing question, that animates Adam Eitel's writing and teaching: "What sort of life does the Gospel enjoin?"About Adam EitelAdam Eitel is Assistant Professor of Christian Ethics at Yale Divinity School.Show NotesTeaching theology as a vocation"Authority is linked to character"Instruction in holinessThe millennial demand for personal character to matter in academic authorityFormation"I see my work as a professor of Christian ethics as a theological vocation."Millennial entitlement, juxtaposed with vulnerabilityTheology as a lived, embodied enterpriseThe lines between the personal and the pedagogicalProblems for Christian ethicsIt's hard for Christian ethics to stay theologicalCan Christian ethics appropriately express social criticism?"The temptation for Christian ethics to bracket the theological commitments, that fund a specifically Christian moral imaginary."Dichotomy between tradition and critique"So we end up sawing off the branch that we're sitting on..."Declaration of Independence's "All men are created equal." as both the impetus for reform and the object of reform."When we're doing theology, when we're doing ethics, we are always looking backwards in some respect, concatenating texts, bringing their different manners of speaking together and to, in order to see what can now be said on the basis of what's been said, that doesn't require an uncritical attitude toward the text or the social arrangements they endorse."Locatedness and situatedness and particularity of Christian ethics"What sort of life does the Gospel enjoin?"Production NotesThis podcast featured Adam Eitel and Matt CroasmunEdited and Produced by Evan RosaHosted by Evan RosaA 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/give

Black Lives Matter. Those three words have launched a million arguments over the last 8 years or so. What began as a hashtag in the wake of the killing of young black men by the police has become a phrase that has gone global and all the while it has been controversial. Some think it is exclusive and even racist because they think it only focuses on black people. Others like the phrase and take it on without asking questions. Methodist Pastor Drew McIntrye wanted to look at black lives matter from a theological standpoint. What does it mean for followers of Jesus to say this phrase? Can followers of Jesus say this phrase? The answer is an emphatic yes. We will talk about what blacks live matters means theologically and what it means for African Americans to hear the church say black lives matter. website: enroutepodcast.org Leave a Review: https://ratethispodcast.com/churchandmain YouTube: https://bit.ly/enrouteyt Show Notes: The Scandal of Particularity, Black Lives, and Jesus by Drew McIntyre Drew's Website The God & Whiskey Podcast- Drew and Evan Rohrs-Dodge Drew on Twitter

These are bidding and commanding words by which all who would be Christians are enjoined to partake of this Sacrament. Therefore, whoever would be a disciple of Christ, with whom He here speaks, must also consider and observe this, not from compulsion, as being forced by men, but in obedience to the Lord Jesus Christ, and to please Him. 46] However, if you say: But the words are added, As oft as ye do it; there He compels no one, but leaves it to our free choice, answer: 47] That is true, yet it is not written that we should never do so. Yea, just because He speaks the words, As oft as ye do it, it is nevertheless implied that we should do it often; and it is added for the reason that He wishes to have the Sacrament free, not limited to special times, like the Passover of the Jews, which they were obliged to eat only once a year, and that just upon the fourteenth day of the first full moon in the evening, and which they must not vary a day. As if He would say by these words: I institute a Passover or Supper for you which you shall enjoy not only once a year, just upon this evening, but often, when and where you will, according to every one's opportunity and necessity, bound to no place or appointed time; 48] although the Pope afterwards perverted it, and again made a Jewish feast of it."- Medieval relics - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relic#Relics_and_pilgrimage- Mariana Trench - http://www.marianatrench.com/mariana_trench-oceanography.htm- Face/Off (1997) - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0119094/- Last Action Hero (1993) Soundtrack - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0107362/- Augsburg Confession   - Baptism - http://www.bookofconcord.org/augsburgconfession.php#article9   - Lord's Supper - http://www.bookofconcord.org/augsburgconfession.php#article10   - Absolution - http://www.bookofconcord.org/augsburgconfession.php#article12   - Preaching the Gospel - http://www.bookofconcord.org/augsburgconfession.php#article7.2- Small Catechism - http://www.bookofconcord.org/smallcatechism.php- Marburg Colloquy - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marburg_Colloquy- Ecumenical Movement - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barmen_Declaration - “Councils can err” - Luther - https://lutheranreformation.org/history/on-the-councils-and-the-church/- Easter Vigil baptisms - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Easter_Vigil - Coexist - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coexist_(image)- Episode 73: Confirmation, Catechesis, & Pentecost · Higher Things - http://higherthings.org/resources/simulcast/shows/73-confirmation-catechesis-pentecost- AVP: Alien vs. Predator (2004) - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0370263/?ref_=nv_sr_1 - Nicolai Tesla - http://teslasociety.com/biography.htm- Issues Etc Interviews - http://issuesetc.org/guest/norman-nagel/- Logia Nagel Sermon MP3s - https://logia.org/mp3-cds/in-the-name-of-jesus-sermons-by-norman-e-nagel

This episode originally aired on June 29, 2016. We bring it to you this week in honor of the re-publication of Norman Podhoretz's memoir, Making It, as well as the upcoming celebration of the liberation of Jerusalem. In this podcast, Eric Cohen is joined by Norman Podhoretz, the legendary former editor of Commentary. They discuss Podhoretz's essay, “Jerusalem: The Scandal of Particularity.” Cohen talks to Podhoretz about the circumstances that inspired this piece, the feelings that being in Jerusalem stirs in him, and why modern men and women find Jewish particularity such a scandal. Courtesy of Pro Musica Hebraica, musical selections in this podcast are drawn from the Quintet for Clarinet and Strings, op. 31a, composed by Paul Ben-Haim, and performed by the ARC Ensemble.  

In this podcast, Eric Cohen sits down with the legendary editor of Commentary, Norman Podhoretz, to discuss his 2007 essay, “Jerusalem: The Scandal of Particularity.” The ancient capital of the Jewish people, Jerusalem, has been the essential center of Jewish political and religious life for generations. But, despite promises of its inviolability, the temptations to divide Jerusalem in exchange for peace arise again and again. “In wondering about this singling-out of one city from among all the cities in the Land of Israel,” Podhoretz writes, “I find myself ineluctably led to its larger and even more mysterious context, which is the singling-out of one people from among all the nations of the world.” Eric Cohen talks to Podhoretz about the circumstances that inspired this essay, the feelings that being in Jerusalem stirs in him, the moral and political significance of Jerusalem, what it means to be the chosen people, and why modern men and women find Jewish particularity such a scandal.
