Podcasts about Peace

They want us to believe that silence is strength. That if we keep our heads down, the storm will pass. But we are the storm. And our storm doesn't need fists. It needs strategy, courage, and the fire of militant nonviolence. In the latest episode of Gaslit Nation, Jamila Raqib, the executive director of the Albert Einstein Institution, delivers a masterclass in radical defiance without a single weapon raised. Raqib doesn't just talk resistance. She teaches the art of war, the nonviolent kind, built on discipline, planning, and unshakeable conviction. She carries forward the torch of Gene Sharp, the quiet revolutionary whose writings, like From Dictatorship to Democracy, which the Gaslit Nation Book Club read in March, have armed movements from Serbia to Syria. His ideas are dangerous, not because they incite chaos, but because they illuminate how to take power back without bloodshed. And dictators fear that more than any rifle. This is militant nonviolence. It's strategic. It's disruptive. And when practiced with precision, it brings regimes to their knees. Blueprint for the Battle Ahead Raqib outlines a crucial truth: power is not monolithic. It comes from the obedience of people, workers, civil servants, police, students. Withdraw that obedience, and even the strongest tyrant collapses. Take Serbia. Take Bangladesh. The world keeps giving us proof that nonviolent action isn't weak; it's lethal to authoritarianism when wielded with discipline. These movements succeeded not because they were polite, but because they were strategic. Organized. Defiant. This is how repression backfires. Every crackdown becomes fuel. Every jail cell, every bullet, every propaganda campaign becomes a rallying cry, if activists know how to use it. Weapons of the Peaceful Warrior Raqib reminds us that art is a weapon. Culture is armor. Community is infrastructure. And technology is a battlefield. Whether it empowers or undermines you depends on how well you understand it. Movements rise and fall on logistics, not just slogans. Fear will always be there. That's normal. But as Raqib insists, fear doesn't mean stop. It means go smart. Fear is a compass, if it scares the regime, you're probably doing something right. Nonviolence is Not Passive. It's Precision. This conversation isn't about kumbaya. It's about battle-readiness. It's about studying the terrain of power, exploiting the cracks, and toppling giants with the slow, grinding force of disciplined resistance. Nonviolence doesn't mean surrender. It means refusing to give your enemy the war they want. It means winning on your terms. And in a time of rising fascism, digital surveillance, and global despair, we must turn to the tools that have worked, again and again. So study Gene Sharp. Listen to Raqib. Organize like your life depends on it, because it does. This is not the time for feel-good hashtags. This is the time for public education, mass mobilization, and strategic action. Nonviolent resistance is not soft. It's the hardest fight there is. But it's the one that wins. EVENTS AT GASLIT NATION: NEW DATE!

Loki and Mobius track down a rogue TVA agent-turned-Hollywood star in Breaking Brad, a quieter but crucial episode full of tension, transformation, and timeline chaos. Mr. Honest dives into Sylvie's surprising life choice, Loki's evolution as a leader, and how General Dox's brutal actions reshape the multiversal stakes. Plus: pie rooms, free will vs. control, and a powerful reminder that sometimes saving something is harder than conquering it. Marvel Maniac is back — shorter, sharper, and more sacred than ever.

This message centered on God's steadfast love and faithfulness, calling believers to trust in His plan, walk in the light of Christ, and embrace divine counsel. Through Scripture, prayer, and discussion, we explored the richness of reconciliation through Christ, the power of thankfulness, and the necessity of spiritual growth. Participants reflected on how God's unchanging nature brings clarity and peace, even when life feels uncertain. The session concluded with prayer, interceding for loved ones and resting in the assurance of God's care.

Jesus has proven that you and your salvation are his greatest priority...

Peace is the fruit of the spirit. It has changed me again to study and ponder the real depths of Shalom—peace in Hebrew. God wants us to enjoy the fullness of life, quietness, a rest, a sense of flourishing every day because of His reality.

Even as Western countries band together to condemn Israel's actions, aid remains at a trickle and the war is expanding into a central-Gazan city. We ask how the horrors might end. As with many technologies before it, many worry artificial intelligence will ultimately dumb down its human users; will it? And why so many American men are injecting testosterone.Get a world of insights by subscribing to Economist Podcasts+.

What if the miracle you've been begging God for—the divine intervention, the total transformation of your emotionally bankrupt marriage—is actually you walking out the door?In this episode, I pull back the curtain on my own bathroom-floor prayer sob sessions (complete with cold tile and mascara rivers) and challenge the dangerous theology that says staying in abusive marriages = holy martyrdom. If you've been stuck in a cycle of “pray harder, suffer longer,” it's time to consider that the still, small voice urging you to get out might actually be God.Key Takeaways:You might be the miracle. Sometimes, walking away is the divine answer.God doesn't endorse abuse. Staying to suffer isn't a spiritual badge of honor.Faith isn't a formula. Praying harder won't fix what someone refuses to change.Waiting on God means moving. Biblical waiting sometimes involves action, not passive endurance.Peace is holy. A quiet, safe life isn't boring—it's blessed. Leaving can be faith-filled. Seeking safety is aligning with God's heart, not betraying Him.You're already worthy. Your value isn't tied to enduring mistreatment.Read the full show notes and/or ask Natalie a question hereRelated Resources:If you liked today's episode, you may relate to some of my others, including “What Are the Biblical Grounds for Divorce?” and “How Can You Tell if Your Abusive Partner Has Changed?”

In today's world, scarcity seems to be everywhere. Not enough money. Not enough time. Not enough security. It's easy to live like we're always behind, always grasping, always worried. But is that the full story?Here at FaithFi, we believe Scripture paints a different picture—one where scarcity isn't the final word. Instead, through Christ, we're invited to live with hope, wisdom, and trust in God's abundant care.The Root of ScarcityThe fear of “not having enough” isn't new. Ever since sin entered the world, our hearts have struggled with distrust. In John 10:10, Jesus describes the enemy as a thief who “comes only to steal and kill and destroy.” And that's what a scarcity mindset does. It steals peace, kills joy, and destroys our trust in God's provision.This mindset urges us to hoard instead of share, grasp instead of give, and stress instead of rest. It traps us in anxiety—a form of slavery where our lives are defined by what we lack instead of who God is.Jesus doesn't leave us in fear. In the second half of John 10:10, He offers a better way: “I came that they may have life and have it abundantly.”This abundance isn't about luxury—it's about the richness of God's care. From the very beginning, God created generously. Genesis 1 shows a God who overflows with creativity and provision, filling the skies, seas, and land with life. He didn't create out of need but out of joy.As Elisabeth Elliot wisely said, “God has promised to supply all our needs. What we don't have now, we don't need now.”Jesus Offers Something BetterJesus lived simply, with no home of His own, yet He never operated from scarcity. He lived generously, turning water into wine, feeding multitudes, and offering forgiveness to all. In Matthew 6:25–34, He urges us not to worry, pointing to the birds and lilies as evidence of the Father's care.“Seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness,” Jesus tells us, “and all these things will be added to you” (Matthew 6:33). This is the antidote to fear: a trust-filled life focused on God's Kingdom.So, how do we break free from the scarcity trap? Here are a few biblical steps:1. Renew Your MindRomans 12:2 calls us to be transformed by the renewal of our minds. Ask God to help you see life through the lens of His abundance, not the world's lack.2. Practice GratitudeThankfulness shifts our focus from what's missing to what God has already provided. It's a simple but powerful habit that reorients our hearts toward trust.3. Embrace StewardshipWe are not owners but stewards. Everything we have is a gift from God. Proverbs 3:9 reminds us to “Honor the Lord with your wealth and with the firstfruits of all your produce.”4. Give in FaithDon't give out of fear—give out of faith. 2 Corinthians 9:8 promises that God will provide all we need so that we can abound in every good work.God Is More Than EnoughLiving in God's abundance doesn't guarantee an easy life. But it does guarantee we never face our challenges alone, and we never need to be enslaved by fear.So when the world says, “There's not enough,” we can respond with confidence: Our God is more than enough. His abundance isn't just material—it's spiritual. It's peace, joy, and confidence that our Father knows exactly what we need.If you're struggling with financial fear or anxiety, we invite you to explore our 21-day devotional, Look at the Sparrows. It's designed to help you shift from fear to faith as you grow in your trust of God's provision. Order a copy or place a bulk order today at FaithFi.com/Sparrows.

With $1.4 million in assets, is that rate competitive, or should I be considering other options?I'm on a limited income and have had serious health issues in the past. My husband is retired, and I'm struggling to find affordable health insurance. I'm also worried that my health history might lead to penalties or denial. What are my best options?I set up an LLC for a rental property and assumed I could report the income as a pass-through on my personal 1040. But my tax preparer says I now need to make quarterly estimated tax payments. Is that really necessary, and how do I know what to pay?I'm 62 and a half and thinking about retiring early this coming January. My current job no longer aligns with my values. I plan to take Social Security at around $1,835/month, which is about $500 less than my current income. My wife is still working and will cover our health insurance.

Paul shows how the Gospel of Jesus brings real peace—even into the most anxious and conflicted parts of our lives. Through prayer, truth, and God's presence in community, we're formed into a people of peace. | From Phil. 4:1–9

"In the last nine months or so, the atmosphere has shifted. The change hasn't been physically tangible thing that can be observed..but something is shifting... I'm going to be looking for that more. (I will be,) look for the joy in people's faces,... That has been something; the eye contact. Just holding the gaze for a moment, and knowing, (and saying), I see you, I'm so g;ad you came today...

"Twenty percent of the people do eighty percent of the work"...

Sometimes, life gives you these little nudges. Like the other day, I was on the phone with a friend from Texas. And this lady's dog, fresh from surgery/treatment, just wandered over to me. The lady and I  started talking, and she opened up about her tension with her husband as they were both worried about their dog. I recommended a vet I knew, and we got into this whole discussion about corporate versus independent care. It's funny how that applies to so many things in life. Not just vets, but in every industry. It's about the personal touch, the genuine care. My friends and I are all 'fixers.' It's like this invisible thread that ties us together. And I think it comes from a place of empathy. From understanding suffering, like my mom's tragedies or the people I treated at the clinic. Empathy is a powerful thing. It bridges gaps, heals wounds, and makes the world a little better. And maybe that's what I want to share with the world. That we can all be a little kinder, a little more connected. Because when we connect, we grow. And that's what life is about, isn't it? Growing, learning, and making the world a better place. Just remember, every encounter is a chance to connect. Thank you for tuning in. Peace and Love always, Amber xoxo

At some stage you will probably need help from a Justice of the Peace. It may be to prove your identity, to make an insurance claim or to certify copies of your legal documents in your language.

Host Tom Godar welcomes to the show Husch Blackwell partner Jon Anderson to help him lead a two-part conversation with Howard Bellman, a fixture in the world of dispute resolution for many decades who has helped to shape the procedures and fora associated with mediation and arbitration in Wisconsin and nationally. In Part I, our conversation covers the broad contours of dispute resolution within the context of labor and employment law and focuses initially on dispute resolution mechanisms in connection with collective bargaining agreements. These proceedings can be advantageous for the parties involved, especially in the labor setting, due to their speed and ability to preserve labor-management peace, an important consideration within the CBA setting. The conversation then turns to specific arbitration language found in CBAs, providing some practical insights into drafting arbitration provisions and how those provisions are implemented in addressing grievances and resolving disputes.Be sure to catch this interesting discussion about the crucial role arbitration plays in maintaining accord between labor and management.

There's a question we all have when we take steps of faith to develop compassion, generosity, and a Kingdom mindset. When we're being sacrificial, it's natural to ask: "God, what about me?

In this insightful episode, Molly sits down once again with Dr. Brooke Scheller, clinical nutritionist and founder of Functional Sobriety, to discuss one of the most buzzed-about topics in the health and wellness space: GLP-1 medications (like Ozempic and Wegovy). Originally developed for treating Type 2 diabetes and now widely prescribed for weight loss, these drugs are increasingly being talked about for their potential to reduce alcohol cravings.Together, Molly and Dr. Scheller unpack the growing curiosity (and concern) surrounding the off-label use of GLP-1s by those trying to moderate or change their drinking habits. They dive deep into both the science and the speculation—discussing small but intriguing studies, anecdotal feedback from clients and community members, and what it really means to find a “magic pill” for reducing desire.But this episode doesn't stop at surface-level discussion. They explore the bigger picture: sustainable behavior change, the role of nutrition in alcohol use, and whether it's possible to replicate the effects of GLP-1s with food, lifestyle, and mindset shifts alone.What You'll Learn in This Episode:What GLP-1 medications are and how they workWhy they might reduce alcohol cravings—and what the science says so farWho might benefit most from GLP-1s—and who should be cautiousCommon side effects and risks associated with these drugsNatural strategies to support craving reduction and metabolic healthWhy addressing core beliefs about alcohol is critical to long-term changeLinks & Resources Mentioned:Dr. Brooke Scheller's program: Functional SobrietyDr. Scheller's book: How to Eat to Change How You DrinkConnect with Molly: Website: www.mollywatts.com Instagram: @alcoholminimalist Join the Private Facebook Community: “Alcohol Minimalists: Change Your Drinking Habits”Want to Change Your Drinking?

So remember that a mixed drink or full glass of wine are probably more than one drink.Abstinence from alcoholAbstinence from alcohol is the best choice for people who take medication(s) that interact with alcohol, have health conditions that could be exacerbated by alcohol (e.g. liver disease), are pregnant or may become pregnant or have had a problem with alcohol or another substance in the past.Benefits of “low-risk” drinkingFollowing these guidelines reduces the risk of health problems such as cancer, liver disease, reduced immunity, ulcers, sleep problems, complications of existing conditions, and more. It also reduces the risk of depression, social problems, and difficulties at school or work. ★ Support this podcast ★

On July 17, as The Hague Group, a coalition of nations committed to diplomatic and legal actions to end the genocide in Palestine, held an emergency summit in Bogota, Colombia, civil society groups also met to launch the Friends of The Hague Group (FoTHG). The FoTHG was convened by Palestinian organizations and joined by major international movements to support and expand The Hague Group, but also to challenge it to place Palestinian demands at the forefront and to take strong actions. Clearing the FOG speaks with Jacqueline Luqman of the Black Alliance for Peace, a member of the FoTHG, about the launch, what US activists can learn from collaborating with other social movements, and why it is a critical time to organize new multilateral anti-imperialist and anti-colonialist structures.

Live from the Ozarks, Baylor Barbee reflects on a peaceful getaway with his dog Bear and shares a powerful reminder: the peace you find on top of the mountain is the peace you brought with you. Through personal stories and hard-earned truths, Baylor challenges listeners to stop outsourcing happiness and start building it from within. From learning to be alone to embracing discomfort in stillness, this episode explores how internal contentment—not external achievement—determines how we experience life. Whether you're climbing metaphorical mountains or just trying to survive your week, this is a call to re-center and reclaim your power. Key Takeaways: Peace Isn't Found, It's Brought: The top of the mountain doesn't change you—it reveals you. Inner work must come first. Happiness Starts in the Mirror: You can't hate the person you spend 100% of your time with and expect peace. Learn to like yourself. Small Anchors Save You: Like a mountain goat balancing on two inches of rock, one small thing going right in your life can prevent a complete collapse. Get Off the Pattern Loop: Break the mental cycle of “everything is bad.” Identify one good thing, however small, and start building momentum. Choose Action Over Numbness: Set a boundary. Make a call. Schedule a date. Do something today to improve tomorrow. Notable Quotes: “The peace you find at the top of the mountain is the peace you brought with you.” “If you were squeezed, would love come out—or something else?” “You're not falling because your life is over—you just haven't found your two inches of footing yet.” “You don't hate being alone—you're just uncomfortable with who you are when you are.” “You deserve peace tomorrow—but you have to take action today.”

What you focus on shapes your life. Focus on fear, and fear grows. Focus on God, and peace grows. In this episode, Carla invites you to pause and consider what's been consuming your thoughts lately. Through biblical wisdom and practical tools, Carla teaches you how to shift your gaze from distractions, lies, and worries to Jesus—so you can experience the peace only He gives. Whether your mind feels stuck on problems, pain, or the past, this episode will help you refocus and step into God's promises for your life.

I'll never forget Bruce's story about his car—check engine light on, a mechanic insisted it needed a $1,500 catalytic converter. Bruce knew better and fixed it by simply tightening the gas cap. That story isn't just about auto repair; it perfectly illustrates why questions a good financial advisor should ask matter. Without probing, you might be sold something you don't need. Competency—not just good intentions—matters. https://www.youtube.com/live/oyEbgdU1MGI It's not about distrust—it's about asking the right questions so you're not blindly following advice. And that principle applies fully when choosing a financial advisor, especially when your spouse might need to take over the reins someday. Why “Questions a Good Financial Advisor Should Ask” Are Essential1. The Big Picture: Comprehensive Financial Planning2. Spouse Financial Preparedness: Including Both of You3. Risk and Protection: Insurance, Deductibles, and Peace of Mind4. Tax Strategy and Social Security Planning5. Legacy Planning: Aligning Values and Wealth Transfer6. Financial Alignment Between SpousesWhy You Need These QuestionsReady to Empower Yourself With Questions a Good Financial Advisor Should Ask?Book A Strategy Call Why “Questions a Good Financial Advisor Should Ask” Are Essential Bruce makes a powerful point: finance isn't limited to investment products. Just like a mechanic or doctor examines the whole system, a skilled advisor should ask questions that uncover your entire financial ecosystem. Without comprehensive inquiry, blind spots linger—insurance gaps, overlooked risks, or hidden fees can derail your legacy. Are you unknowingly trusting a financial advisor without knowing enough about your overall financial picture? In today's complex financial world—from taxes and Social Security to estate planning, insurance, and cash flow—a narrow focus on one product is risky.Questions a good financial advisor should ask aren't optional—they're essential. They give you clarity, align planning with your goals, and ensure your spouse is equipped to manage your shared financial future. 1. The Big Picture: Comprehensive Financial Planning Bruce sums it up: “You cannot make financial decisions in a vacuum.” Advisors who focus only on investments or insurance miss how those decisions affect cash flow, taxes, estate planning, and more. Ask: What are your current net worth and cash flow statements? How do your investments, insurance, and debts interrelate? Why it matters:Like a doctor who reviews your medical history before prescribing treatment, a competent advisor will want to see your full financial picture before making recommendations. 2. Spouse Financial Preparedness: Including Both of You Too often, one spouse is left out of discussions and can feel lost if the other dies.Key questions include: Who are your trusted advisors (financial, legal, tax)? Does your spouse know how to access online accounts, passwords, and digital assets? What's your “Alternative Income Plan” for the surviving spouse? How comfortable is your spouse with the household financial framework? Bruce and Rachel discuss this as part of the LIFE framework: Liquid assets—money accessible within 15 minutes Income plan—monthly income goals Flexible investments—capital that can be reallocated Estate plan—how wealth transfers to future generations Both spouses should discuss and agree on how these pieces look today and tomorrow. 3. Risk and Protection: Insurance, Deductibles, and Peace of Mind Bruce shared his own experience with PNC: they asked about deductible choices and emotional tolerance for risk during the house fire recovery process.Essential questions a good financial advisor should ask include: What insurance do you have—life, disability, health, auto, home? Are deductibles appropriate to your cash reserves and risk tolerance? Are beneficiary designations updated and aligned with estate go...

Superhero violence and graphic action sequences are prevalent on the screen and on the page, but this book takes an alternative route with practical guidance, frameworks, and tools for incorporating the principles of peacebuilding and nonviolence into compelling fiction. By mapping a path less travelled but just as vital in divisive times, in n A Fiction Writer's Guide to Peace: Crafting Nonviolent Heroism (Bloomsbury, 2025) Dr. Gabriel Ertsgaard shows writers how they can enact nonviolent heroism in their characters, model civil resistance in their stories, and create worlds around a mythos that champions redemptive nonviolence. With concepts applicable to writing for fiction, drama, the screen, and narrative poetry, A Fiction Writer's Guide to Peace deconstructs the necessity for violence in popular works, explores key concepts in peace studies, and helps writers establish their own peace poetics. Focused around the narrative craft techniques of character arcs, campaigns, duels, and worldbuilding, the book features numerous creative writing prompts and examples from key works. These include films such as Trading Places, Selma, Lage Raho Munna Bai, and Frozen and literature ranging from Shakespeare's plays to Dickens' A Christmas Carol to Julia Quinn's Bridgerton novels. A timely and important expansion to any writer's toolkit, A Fiction Writer's Guide to Peace allows storytellers to understand the complex dynamics of, and the damage caused by, violent perspectives and actions, giving them a way into considering nonviolence as powerful and preferable.
