Podcasts about practicing

As we move into the season of Lent, we're offering a series to help each of us prepare the way of the Lord. It's a good time to take stock of our spiritual practices, and today's guide is the author John Mark Comer. In his book Practicing the Way, John Mark explores the practical realities of what it means to be an apprentice of Jesus:“It seems to me that the telos of the spiritual journey in the Christian way is becoming a person of love through deepening union with the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit…It's the two greatest commandments: love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength, and love your neighbor as yourself, that Jesus put at the center of apprenticeship to him.” This episode is drawn from an online conversation recorded in 2024.

Julie Nelson has been practicing Zen Buddhism for more than 20 years. Along the way, she was deemed accomplished enough and dedicated enough to become a teacher in the Soto tradition. Hence her other name, Seido Sensei. She has contributed articles to Tricycle magazine, writes on her own blog, and she's the author of a book titled Practicing Safe Zen: Navigating the Pitfalls on the Road to Liberation. She is also an emeritus professor of economics from the University of Massachusetts, Boston, has two kids and two grandkids, and lives in New Hampshire. In Julie's own words: “her spiritual home is the Greater Boston Zen Community, a group that experienced three waves of teacher abuses of power. She is deeply saddened when people, either in addition to or instead of realizing benefits from their work with a spiritual teacher, suffer great harm.” The central focus of this conversation is the vital importance ethical behavior among spiritual teachers, institutional accountability, and the protection of vulnerable students.

In his sermon on Hebrews 13:1-6, Pastor Jason Crosby emphasizes that the outward expression of Christian "brotherly love" is the natural byproduct of an inward security found in God's presence. Practicing hospitality, remembering the suffering, and maintaining purity in marriage, believers demonstrate a heart that has moved from the fear of scarcity to the confidence of God's constant provision.

Felix Ronsdorf führte an der Willow-Creek-Konferenz 2026 in Dortmund ein Live-Interview mit US-Bestsellerautor John Mark Comer. Der Leverkusener Pastor und Speaker ist Leiter der «Practicing-the-Way»-Bewegung im deutschsprachigen Raum. Sie hat zum Ziel, Christen, Kirchen und Leitenden zu helfen, den Lebensstil von Jesus neu zu entdecken oder zu erlernen (passend dazu der Titel eines von Comers zentralen Büchern: «Leben vom Meister lernen»).Im Livenet-Talk mit Florian Wüthrich direkt an der Konferenz spricht er darüber, wie dies gelingen kann und wie er es ganz bewusst in sein Leben als Leiter, aber auch als Familienvater einbaut. Dabei bleibt es nicht bei theoretischen Vorsätzen, sondern wird ganz praktisch greifbar für den Alltag.Zum Comer-Talk mit Beat Staub: https://youtu.be/p1LaVLweBcQ

Sermon on the MountToshi JamangFebruary 15th, 2025

In this episode of Unshaken Faith, we take a careful, biblical look at Practicing the Way by John Mark Comer, a book that has quickly gained popularity in Christian discipleship and spiritual formation circles. Many listeners have asked whether we recommend it and after a thorough review, the answer is no. We walk through the book's core framework, its view of spiritual formation, and how it defines discipleship and transformation. While some of the practices it encourages may sound helpful on the surface, we found deeper theological concerns underneath including influences that overlap with contemplative spirituality, charismatic/NAR-style formation models, progressive-leaning theology, and sacramental or mystical streams more commonly associated with Eastern Orthodox and Roman Catholic spirituality.Most importantly, we evaluate the book's message against the biblical gospel. Does it clearly present salvation by grace through faith? Does it ground transformation in the finished work of Christ or shift the center toward practices and processes? We explain where we believe the message drifts and why that matters for everyday Christians.Our goal is not to attack people, but to equip believers with discernment. We encourage you to think biblically, test everything against Scripture, and stay rooted in the true gospel.If this book has been recommended to you, or if you're already reading it, this episode will help you evaluate it through a clear theological lens.Consider the Lillies, by Johnny ArdavanisHappy Lies, by Melissa DoughertyAlisa's video on generational curses

Forceful abdominal exhalations activate a brainstem circuit that tightens blood vessels and raises blood pressure, even in the absence of stress or exercise Slow, calm breathing quiets the nervous system signals that drive blood pressure higher, making it a powerful daily tool for regulation Long-term high blood pressure reduces blood flow to your brain and shrinks regions responsible for memory, focus, and decision-making Blood pressure control depends on cumulative daily habits, not single readings, which explains why short-term fixes often fail Practicing nasal, slow, and passive breathing once or twice daily helps lower blood pressure by calming the systems that control it at the source

There is almost always a window where change is possible.-Practicing these skills during low-stress situations helps build automatic responses when high-stress moments arise.-Small physical reminders (notes, cards, visual cues) can reinforce new habits.Resources & Next Steps:If you'd like support controlling your anger and breaking long-standing patterns:-Visit: https://angersecrets.com-Book a free 30-minute phone call-Access the free training on "Breaking The Anger Cycle"

Humility doesn't mean thinking less of yourself. Practicing humility will open your mind to new possibilities. Be a lifelong learner. 

Many of us are bearing witness daily to suffering all over the planet. We care about others, and we want desperately to be of use—and seeing the horrors in images and videos and stories every day can be deeply dysregulating to our nervous systems.  When we get overwhelmed by this vicarious trauma, we tend to shut down. We disconnect from ourselves and each other. We're so spun out in our anxiety, anger, or overwhelm that it can feel impossible to engage in any kind of mindfulness or meditation practice.  This week, Shalini Bahl offers tender and practical guidance for how to pause, reconnect, and return to ourselves—and our essential practice—in times of intense internal and external upheaval. Shalini Bahl, PhD, is the award-winning author of Return to Mindfulness and founder of Sama Life, where she offers daily live micro-practices for real-world engagement. A certified MBSR and Search Inside Yourself teacher with pioneering research in mindfulness and consumer well-being recognized by the American Marketing Association, she brings contemplative practice into complex real-world contexts—from Town Council chambers to corporate boardrooms. Through her teaching, writing, and TEDx talks, she focuses on building practical mindfulness skills that disrupt default patterns and restore clarity, integrity, and care. Her guided meditations have reached over 80,000 listeners worldwide. The transcription of this guided meditation will be online and in our app at Mindful.org next week.  Stay curious, stay inspired.

What does it mean to practice love when fear is loud and life feels out of control? In this special Valentine’s Day episode of Question Everything, we’re talking about love (just not in the way you might expect). Danielle sits down with bestselling author and spiritual teacher Marianne Williamson for a conversation about miracles, fear, forgiveness, and what it really means to return to love in our everyday life. Marianne’s 1992 book A Return to Love, famously championed by Oprah Winfrey, has changed the way millions of people think about relationships, spirituality, and personal growth. In this episode, Marianne explains how the idea of “miracles” is far more practical than mystical, and why our shared purpose is more simple than any of us could have ever imagined. Together, Danielle and Marianne explore how to take ownership of your inner world even when the outer world feels out of control. In this episode, you’ll learn: How to choose love over fear in difficult moments Finding clarity and peace during uncertain times Simple daily habits that help you reconnect with love How to lift your vibrational energy, even when the world feels overwhelming and scary The difference between understanding spiritual ideas and putting them into practice in our everyday life The difference between manifestation and magic How to live with more intention and less fear Understanding the root cause of feeling stuck Why personal growth begins with changing how you see yourself and your place in the world How to make a big spiritual shift that will have an impact on your life Follow Marianne Williamson on Instagram @mariannewilliamson Check out Marianne’s book A Return to Love Book Recommendation: Letters to a Young Poet by Rainer Maria RilkeSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

(Insight Meditation Society - Retreat Center) Amma Thanasanti began meditating in 1979 under the guidance of Jack Engler, Ajahn Chah, and Dipa Ma. She spent 28 years as a Buddhist nun, including 20 years in Ajahn Chah monasteries, and has taught internationally since 1996. She is the founder of Awakening Truth (awakeningtruth.org) and developed the Integrated Meditation Program (IMP), an attachment-repair pathway for meditators. Her work integrates classical Buddhist training with contemporary psychology and trauma-informed practice, helping practitioners discern where meditation supports awakening—and where relational wounds and trauma require direct healing. This integration allows the stillness, clarity, and goodness from meditation to become more natural and sustainable. SHINE is a practice Amma developed as a counterpart to the RAIN method by Michelle McDonald and Tara Brach. While RAIN helps us meet difficulty, SHINE supports cultivating positive states—training the nervous system to recognize, sustain, and deepen what's good.The acronym stands for Sense, Hold, Inquire, Nourish, and Enhance. Integrated into the broader Integrated Meditation Program (IMP), SHINE addresses a gap many practitioners experience: we become skilled at observing suffering but less adept at stabilizing ease, joy, and goodness when they arise. In this session, we'll practice SHINE together and explore how cultivating these states helps stillness, clarity, and goodness become more natural and sustainable in daily life.

In this Valentine's Day episode, Scott reflects on the Buddhist monks who recently completed their 2,300-mile peace walk to Washington, D.C., drawing connections between walking meditation, pilgrimage, and the true nature of love. He explores how love is primarily a decision and practice rather than just a feeling, using 1 Corinthians 13 as a guide to understand love as patience, kindness, and endurance. Scott shares insights from his retreats at Magnolia Grove Monastery in the tradition of Thich Nhat Hanh, emphasizing that sustaining long-term relationships—whether marriages, friendships, or commitments to justice—requires showing up one step at a time, even when feelings waver. This episode reframes Valentine's Day as an opportunity to practice love as a sustained commitment rather than momentary emotion.

On this day in the year 1691, Brother Lawrence of the Resurrection died. He is known for a collection of his writings called, "Practicing the Presence of God". Fr. Kubicki divulges more on who Brother Lawrence is on today's reflection.

Where do you start with intermittent fasting? Most people know the term intermittent fasting, but very few know where it actually came from—or how it was meant to be used. In this video, Professor Spira explains the true origin of intermittent fasting and why it was never designed as a random trend or a quick reset. You'll learn how Professor Arnold Ehret introduced intermittent fasting as part of a complete healing system, not as a stand-alone trick. When fasting is practiced the right way, it supports vitality, clarity, and long-term health instead of stress and confusion. In this video, you'll discover: Who really created intermittent fasting Why fasting works best inside a system Why random fasting often fails How simple habits support vitality Where beginners should actually start This is not about extreme fasts, calorie counting, or complicated rules. It's about understanding the principles, taking simple action, and using fasting the way it was originally intended.

 In this conversation, David Chambers explores the concepts of emotional intelligence and emotional mastery, particularly in the context of men's emotional experiences. He discusses the limitations of emotional intelligence, emphasizing the need for emotional intimacy and the role of the nervous system in emotional responses. Chambers highlights how societal conditioning impacts men's ability to express and process emotions, advocating for the development of emotional mastery through practice and awareness. He concludes by stressing the importance of emotional mastery in relationships and personal growth. Key Topics:  ⭐ Emotional intelligence is often seen as the pinnacle, but it's just the first step. ⭐ Emotional intimacy is crucial for deeper connections. ⭐ The nervous system plays a significant role in emotional responses. ⭐ Emotional mastery involves growing one's capacity to feel and respond. ⭐ Men are often conditioned to suppress their emotions from a young age. ⭐ The skills that lead to success in work do not translate to relationships. ⭐ Emotional mastery cannot be achieved through reading alone. ⭐ Practicing emotional awareness is essential for personal growth. ⭐ Building emotional mastery requires being present with feelings. ⭐ Emotional mastery is vital for effective leadership and relationships.

On his episode of That Tech Pod, Kevin and Laura sit down with Ray Biederman, CEO and Co-Founder of Proteus Discovery Group, to talk about what actually happens when legal theory, technology, and human behavior collide. Ray walks through his unusual path from music education to law to legal tech, and how that background shaped the way he thinks about systems, judgment, and risk. Rather than chasing hype, he explains why Proteus focuses on defensible outcomes and practical decision-making in a crowded eDiscovery market.The conversation gets into lessons Ray has learned by wearing every hat, product builder, services leader, and still-practicing attorney. He shares what courtroom experience teaches that product teams often miss until something breaks, especially around context, intent, and how small mistakes compound once data starts moving. Ray also offers a measured take on AI-driven review, warning against the industry's tendency to overcorrect by trying to remove human judgment entirely, and highlights the ethical tensions that surface when AI reveals patterns no one anticipated. The episode closes with a forward-looking discussion on deepfake evidence, verification challenges, and the growing risk posed by data traveling across too many systems without enough accountability. Ray Biederman, Chief Executive Officer and Co-Founder of Proteus Discovery Group, LLC, has worked in every phase of electronic discovery for more than two decades. He is a Super Lawyer in the area of eDiscovery, has been cited in multiple court opinions as an expert witness, and is adjunct faculty for eDiscovery at the IUPUI School of Informatics and Computing. He consults on Information Governance policies and procedures related to cybersecurity and its intersection with government regulation and industry-specific best practices. Outside of his eDiscovery experience, Ray is an active litigator representing clients in product liability work, business valuation disputes, and contract disputes. He is also a founding partner in Mattingly Burke Cohen & Biederman. He was previously an associate at Barnes & Thornburg, LLP. He holds a B.M. in Music Education from Butler University and a J.D from Indiana University, the Robert H. McKinney School of Law.

Most people don't fail at Stoicism because they don't know enough.They fail because they don't practice enough.In this episode, I talk about why I stopped buying Stoic books, why fiction pulled me back into reading, and how the real work of philosophy happens far away from the page.We explore the gap between knowing and becoming, why mastery takes decades—not weeks—and why repetition, not insight, is the true currency of growth.If you feel stuck despite “doing everything right,” this episode is for you.

Along the way, she unpacks how scarcity, white normativity, and oppression quietly shape how clinicians are trained to work, think about clients, and run businesses—often at the expense of their bodies, identities, and values.This episode goes beyond the “nuts and bolts” of private practice. It explores what it truly means to unlearn harmful systems, reclaim your voice, and build a business that supports both your clients and your own thriving.What You'll Learn in This EpisodeHow oppressive training environments shape clinicians long after graduationThe hidden cost of scarcity-driven private practice modelsWhy overworking and self-silencing are not personal failures, but learned survival strategiesHow group practices can exploit clinicians while undervaluing their ideas and laborWhat it means to build a liberation-centered, values-aligned private practiceHow racism, oppression, and internalized messages show up in business decisionsWhy centering identity, voice, and sustainability is essential for long-term practiceHow redefining success in private practice can restore health, integrity, and joyDr. Ksera introduces her year-long Boundless Liberation Private Practice Coaching Program, designed specifically for Black social workers and psychologists.This work includes:Private practice foundations and strategyValues-aligned policies, pricing, and accessibilityOne-to-one coaching and assessmentUnlearning scarcity and oppressive internal narrativesStrengthening your internal supervisorRebuilding identity and confidence as a clinician and business ownerCreating a practice that supports both liberation and financial sustainabilityThis program is for clinicians who are ready to move beyond survival and build practices that truly reflect who they are and who they serve.This conversation is especially for you if:You feel undervalued or exploited in a group practiceYou've tried to start a private practice but feel overwhelmed or stuckYou have a practice that isn't aligned with your values or identitiesYou want to center liberation, equity, and authenticity in your workYou're ready to stop shrinking yourself to fit oppressive systemsConnect with Dr. Ksera DyetteText or Call: +1 (617) 855-1243Instagram & TikTok: @theantiableistdocLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ksera-dyette/Let's Connect: On Instagram On Facebook On LinkedIn On TikTok On my website

In this episode of My DPC Story, we're highlighting Dr. Adelola "Lola" Ashaye, a board-certified family and lifestyle medicine physician and the founder of InTouch Primary Care in the Sugar Land area of Texas. Practicing in one of the most complex healthcare markets in the country, Dr. Ashaye shares how Direct Primary Care protects physician autonomy while expanding access for patients, creating space for meaningful conversations around prevention, metabolic health, and long-term outcomes. Her journey, shaped by experiences with fragmented care, immigration barriers, and burnout in fee-for-service medicine, is a powerful reminder that physicians of color don't have to conform to broken systems to build sustainable, patient-centered practices. As part of our Heart Health Month focus, be sure to download your free copy of the 5-Day Metabolic Health Mini Reset brought to you by SmartHeart, a DPC-aligned tool designed to support preventive, relationship-based care and help patients engage with metabolic and cardiovascular health in a practical, non-overwhelming way.Get a SmartHeart 12-lead EKG for your DPC with board-certified cardiologists available to help you at the press of a button.Learn more about Zion HealthShare and REGISTER for the LIVE WEBINAR on Feb 13th at 2pm PST.

Transform your house into a sanctuary where God's Presence dwells. Pastors David and Amber reveal why a clean but empty home remains vulnerable—and how to fill it with the Holy Spirit through 8 powerful “spiritual furnishings”: peace & joy, the Word, worship, honor & forgiveness, prayer, and thanksgiving. Practical wisdom for families, marriages, and parents who want Christ at the center, protection from the enemy, and a home full of strength, healing, and gratitude. Keywords: practicing the presence, God in your home, Christian family life, spiritual home, joy of the Lord, biblical parenting, family worship, Holy Spirit at home, peace in the home, Christian marriage

This sermon is about taking what we've learned about dependence on God and putting into practice through a time of prayer.

On today's episode I welcome my friend David Stern to the podcast. This conversation feels so perfect right now. It's full of the kind of hope we all need. David has this beautiful way of seeing the spiritual dimension in everything we do. David calls us to remember our "Pure Soul"—the part of us that is already peaceful and cannot be destroyed. He talks about parts as "angels in disguise," the ones inside that have taken on difficult roles to protect that inner light. If you're looking for a way to stay connected to yourself in a chaotic world, this episode is a sacred reminder that your essence is always already okay. We Explore: Why David looks for the unbridled aliveness in every person he meets. Reimagining our parts as refractions of a primal, divine intelligence. How to hold the "horrors" of the world while still choosing to love our people and stay present. Practicing "remembrance" to help shift out of the noise and back into your heart.
