Podcasts about practicing

This week, we will be studying Romans 12:1-5, where the Apostle Paul urges believers to offer themselves to God, to be transformed by the renewing of their minds, and to live humbly as interdependent members of Christ's Body. John Mark Comer's Practicing the Way, in the chapter titled “How? A Rule of Life,” builds on this vision by offering a practical framework. This “Rule of Life” is not rigid legalism, but intentional patterns and everyday rhythms that foster freedom in the believer's life. Just as the body thrives when every part fulfills its purpose, so too does the soul flourish when ordered around abiding, becoming, and doing like Jesus.SERIES SUMMARY: This series is based on the best-selling Christian book, Practicing the Way, by John Mark Comer. This work guides Christians toward spiritual formation by following the lifestyle of Jesus — through intentional practices like silence, sabbath, simplicity, and community. It emphasizes becoming like Jesus by doing what he did, integrating faith into everyday life through rhythm, discipline, and deep apprenticeship.How can we pray for you? tinyurl.com/stmarcusprayersFill out our online connection card: tinyurl.com/stmarcusconnectcardIf you'd like to leave an offering or monetary donation to our ministry please click here: https://tinyurl.com/stmarcusgive

Ah, summer. The season of sticky popsicles and even stickier expectations. It’s supposed to be the time of rest and freedom, but more-often-than-not, it’s anything but. In this solo episode, Kate shares from her very real, very mosquito-bitten summer, exploring the myth of summer as effortless bliss and what it means to resist our culture’s obsession with doing more, achieving more, and smiling through it all. Instead, what if we embraced a gentler kind of ambition? Kate reflects on the sacred permission of Sabbath, the theology of rest, and how even our underachieving might be a form of holy resistance. If you’re feeling overcooked, overwhelmed, or just plain over it—this one’s for you.

All the links: LINKTR.EE/BARBARAFAISONAre you steady? How do you handle routine? You know that everydayness of getting through life. The stuff like getting up, going to work or doing the daily activities we do, cooking, cleaning, keeping the house in order. I know, fun things right?By nature, I am routine averse. Lol. Simply put, routine is not my friend. Although there are things I do routinely, I don't particularly enjoy them. Yes, I cook, keep the house in order, the maintenance things required in life. Do I enjoy them? Not so much. They feel like obligations and requirements most of the time.Have you heard the expression?, Before enlightenment, chop wood, carry water- after enlightenment, Chopped wood carry water? What that means to me is Being steady in the midst of the Everydayness or routineness of life.I feel extremely grateful for having my meditation practice. My meditation practice keeps me steady. Practicing breathing and meditation daily keeps me steady. This allows me to start my day from a place of spaciousness, openness, and readiness. The self-awareness I experience simply through my daily time in silence continues to help me expand and grow.As soon as I realize I am awake, I say thank you out loud. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. The simple acknowledgment of being alive another day is a powerful way for me to acknowledge life.When people ask me, how do you meditate every day, I honestly have no answer other than how do I NOT meditate every day. Because I've done some type of meditative practice since the 90s, it is ingrained in the routine that comes with my daily life.Humans are creatures of habit. Think about it, when we rise, we likely brush our teeth, tend to our hygiene, meaning we shower, or at least wipe some important parts, lol, prior to dressing, we may have a cup of coffee or tea or a soda, or a glass of water, and then we begin more routines throughout the day.

Personal Injury Attorney Josh Branch of The Law Offices of Joshua W. Branch joins us for Personal Injury Marketing Minute podcast #107 to discuss getting into the field to make a difference. Josh is driven to a life of service through the practice of personal injury law. Visit Josh online here: https://www.thegeorgiainjuryattorney.com/.

Transcript: Lindsey: Welcome to the Personal Injury Marketing Minute, where we quickly cover the hot topics in the legal marketing world. I'm your host, Lindsey Busfield. Even though there are some bad players in the personal injury world who are more interested in profit than people, most personal injury lawyers get into the field because they want to make a difference. Josh Branch of Josh Branch Law in Georgia is one such lawyer who is driven to a life of service through the practice of personal injury law. Thank you so much for joining us today, Josh.   Josh Branch: Thank you for having me, Lindsey.   Lindsey: Well, tell us a little bit about yourself and about your practice.   Josh Branch: A little bit about myself, we have a current operation or base. In Athens, Georgia, that's the primary location, the law office of Joshua Branch. We also have satellite offices in Atlanta and on the Georgia coast where you accept cases throughout Georgia and in the Florida accident, licensed to practice in Florida as well. About me, that's as far as wide of a question as we can go. It's the worst question I could possibly ask. No, no, no, it's fine. It's absolutely fine. To kind of piggyback on the topic, I have been around law since the time I was 15 or 16. My church league basketball coach was a lawyer, and he said, you argue so much. You're going to become a lawyer. And everybody else in my family and friends said the same thing. I think I was a little bit apprehensive of doing what everybody else already foretold as my future. But actually, they were right. And so I'm very blessed to be in this position and helping others.   Lindsey: I mean, to be able to... To argue, you know, when you're a kid, it can drive everybody else crazy. But if you can harness that energy for good and put it to the benefit of others, then that turns into a superpower. I'll agree. So, I mean, clearly you loved to argue when you were a kid and you went down this path. But why did you want to become a personal injury lawyer at the end of your educational career?   Josh Branch: It's a great question. Once I finally decided I did want to go to law school, I initially thought I wanted to go into environmental law. That was my pursuit when I entered into law school. However, as much as I got into it, more I realized that I'm not, and this is most things about me, I'm not on the extreme on either side. So in environmental law, I didn't see myself working for a large oil company. And also at same time, I didn't see myself, you know, working for Greenpeace. They both have places in this world. And, you I didn't feel my heart for myself one way or the other. I worked for an entertainment lawyer. I was in law school. It great. We had incredible experiences. I helped put on a seminar at the Russian Consulate in Manhattan in New York. Great experience. Got to meet a lot of A&R reps and reps from different bands and things of that sort. But when it really came down to tracking towards what I want to do the rest of my life, there is a proverbial David versus Goliath day in, day out when you deal with injured victims dealing with insurance companies. And even though insurance companies and their complete wherewithal and financial backing of which no individual really has outside of a few on the top of the Forbes list,

This week, McKay introduces a practical and powerful challenge: the one-month happiness test. Drawing inspiration from Laurie Santos's famous Yale course, "Psychology and the Good Life," this episode moves beyond big, life-altering events to focus on the small, consistent actions that are scientifically proven to boost happiness. McKay breaks down simple yet profound practices like savoring positive moments, actively choosing your focus through selective attention, expressing gratitude, performing acts of kindness, and strengthening social connections. Through relatable stories and real-world examples, he illustrates how these "micro-adjustments" can retrain our brains, counteracting our natural negativity bias and leading to a more joyful, fulfilling life. Listeners are invited to take the test for themselves and discover how intentional, daily habits can create lasting change.Main Themes:Happiness comes from small, consistent changes, not just big life events.You can retrain your brain to focus on the positive through selective attention.Savoring positive experiences - before, during, and after - deepens their impact.Practicing gratitude is a powerful choice that turns what you have into enough.Acts of kindness boost happiness for both the giver and the receiver.Strong social connections are a primary predictor of a long, happy life.Exercise and sleep are foundational pillars for mental well-being and happiness.You can become the author of your life by choosing what to focus on and practice.What you notice becomes your reality.A one-month test is long enough to implement new habits and see real results.Top 10 Quotes:"The strange truth is... most people return to their baseline level of happiness after these major life events. This phenomenon is called the hedonic treadmill.""Tiny, regular changes to your daily life often make a bigger, longer-lasting difference than these big things.""Your brain is built to scan for problems... but you can change what you focus on, and it will help you be more happy.""Savoring is the deliberate, post-activity act of looking back on what you've done and taking time to appreciate it.""Gratitude turns what we have into enough.""Close relationships, more than money or fame, are what kept people happy throughout their lives.""These examples aren't miracles; they're micro-adjustments in their lives.""You get to choose what you'll focus on. So this month, to test your happiness, focus on the good.""Kind service has this magic feel to it."Show Links:Open Your Eyes with McKay Christensen

This week we will be studying Ephesians 4:1-6 under the theme “Do As Jesus Did.” The Apostle Paul calls believers to live a life worthy of the divine calling they've received—a life marked by humility, patience, love, and unity. True spiritual maturity comes not by age but through intentional discipleship, learning to “do as He did” in every area of life.SERIES SUMMARY: This series is based on the best-selling Christian book, Practicing the Way, by John Mark Comer.

A Critique of Practicing the Way, Part 12 - Understanding Human Inability, presented by Bob DeWaay and Barb Gretch. We address Comer's claims that the problems the world is facing today could be solved if Christians would become apprentices of Jesus and compare it to Charles Finney's Pelagian moral government theory. Both lack an understanding of human inability. (duration 00:22:57) Click here to play

Don't allow your mind to wander around. 16:21 Having neither joy nor sorrow doesn't sound that interesting.19:05 As you meditate more you can rid of becoming a ruminator.20:01 Is there any other way to settle into the Self, besides effortlessly?21:10 Baba experiences the reverse of what we experience - it's effortless for us to have mental chatter but Babaji's mental state is to be silent.22:02 If you meditate regularly, the mind is a quieter place.23:41 Accepting the results of our actions doesn't mean we can't try to change them.26:23 "You need to understand the futility of actions, as there's nothing to achieve."29:26 Importance of the zoom calls with Babaji which motivate us and inform us of the possibilities, otherwise it would be really difficult.31:18 So what you're saying is that anything you achieve in this world is impermanent, it is not going to bring you peace, so it's really equivalent to nothing.32:33 "Your very nature is Supreme Peace and the rest is unreal."36:50 Important things we can practice during the day to quiet our mind.38:59 If the mind is into imaginations, then you have to do sadhana to achieve silence of the mind.42:48 "By a thought of the mind, you cannot know your real Self. Only by becoming quiet in the mind can you know your real Self...  ...To know the space, you have to become space."45:44 Mind can never give the Truth.46:38 "You can make everything else disappear, but you can't make yourself disappear."48:25 When you start to meditate, after about 40 minutes the mind and body get still, is that the time that the thoughts gets purified?49:44 I always want to cry after a meditation. I find it very frightening when you're all alone.50:47 When memory and time is the material of the mind, can the mind observe without memory and time.51:56 So is supreme peace the ultimate goal of life? Is that what it is?52:45 You mentioned that when your mind is completely quiet, then you dissolve in the consciousness.  What's the process?54:26 We don't really get absorbed into the Self, into the pure consciousness? We are the pure consciousness. Just the illusion that I am a separate being is what ends, right?55:36 Situations happening because they were set in motion by desires long ago or is it happening because that is what the universe wants from me at this point?57:41 Is it possible that everyone has already experienced Self RealizatioRegister your free place for the live online meditation and Q&A with Babaji: https://www.shivarudrabalayogi.org/en/online-satsang Website: http://www.srby.orgFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/shivarudrabalayogiTwitter: https://twitter.com/SRBYmissionInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/shivarudrabalayogi/

Diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes at 11 and later with end-stage renal disease, Suzanne drew on her personal experience to write an MSc thesis exploring the lived challenges of adhering to a highly restrictive dialysis diet. Following her kidney transplant, she was struck by the lack of clear nutrition guidance for transplant recipients, making the transition to managing her new kidney particularly difficult. Determined to fill this gap, she conducted research to develop evidence-based dietary guidelines, which she published in Transplant International and presented at the European Keto Live Conference in Switzerland.

What we practice, we become. From everyday acts of kindness to intentional habits of listening, generosity, and reflection, our imperfect efforts shape us and ripple outward into the world. This episode reflects on how small, steady practices can lead to real transformation.

Be careful not to do good things just to get attention. If you do them so people will notice you, the only reward you'll get is their praise. There won't be a reward from God.

Many believers know God is with them, but too few live aware that He's within them. As a result, they live spiritually stuck, weak, weary, even defeated. Yet Scripture says the same Spirit who raised Jesus from the dead lives in us. What does that mean for your everyday life? It means the power to resist sin, walk in your gifts, push back darkness, and love like Christ doesn't come from you—it comes from the God who lives within. God living within makes us powerful.

In this episode, we're talking about why surface-level friendships leave us feeling empty and how real community starts when we share both our joys and sorrows with our friends.This episode is inspired by the "Practicing the Way" course on community. You can go through the 4-week course with friends and use this podcast as added commentary, or simply follow along here. Either way, I highly recommend diving into the full course — it's full of practical tools to help you actually live this out: https://www.practicingtheway.org/community

Send us a textLet's talk about the thing no one wants to admit: sometimes we say yes to non-monogamy not because we want to—but because we're afraid to lose someone we love. In this episode, we dive deep into the term “tolyamory” (coined by Dan Savage), the danger of choosing open relationships out of fear instead of desire, and how to tell if you're actually aligned with non-monogamy… or just tolerating it.We'll unpack:The red flags of “tolyamory”Why consent isn't just a checkbox—it's a felt senseHow to check in with your nervous system before saying yesWhat to do if your partner wants non-monogamy and you don'tHow to reclaim your voice, your boundaries, and your truth—even when it's hardWhether you're the one asking or being asked to open up, this episode is for you. Let's stop calling it love when it's really fear.

These repeated mistakes, while frustrating for players, coaches, and fans alike, typically stem from a combination of fundamental breakdowns, poor decision-making under pressure, and a lack of on-court communication. Understanding these common miscues is the first step toward correcting them and elevating individual and team performance. One of the most frequent and damaging categories of repeated mistakes is turnovers. These often manifest as errant passes, traveling violations, or losing the ball while dribbling. The root causes are multifaceted, ranging from a lack of fundamental skills, such as not using the non-dominant hand effectively, to poor court vision and decision-making. Players who dribble with their heads down are often unaware of open teammates or lurking defenders, leading to forced passes into traffic or having the ball stolen. To mitigate these errors, coaches emphasize drills that improve ball-handling skills with both hands and encourage players to keep their eyes up to survey the entire court. Practicing game-speed passes and situational drills that simulate pressure can also help players make smarter, more composed decisions with the ball. Another persistent issue that can single-handedly decide the outcome of a game is the repeated missing of free throws. The charity stripe can become a mental battleground where the pressure of the moment often overrides countless hours of practice. While shooting mechanics play a role, the primary culprit for consistent misses in games, as opposed to practice, is the psychological impact of pressure and fatigue. The routine that feels automatic in an empty gym can feel foreign with the game on the line. To combat this, players are encouraged to develop a consistent, repeatable pre-shot routine to create a sense of normalcy and block out distractions. Coaches also increasingly incorporate pressure-based free throw shooting into practices, such as making players run sprints before shooting or having consequences for missed shots to better simulate game conditions.

This episode of The Kriya Yoga Podcast, When You Know Samadhi explores the philosophical and practical aspects of meditation within the framework of Kriya Yoga and the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali. The main topics include: The Purpose of Meditation Meditation is presented not as a relaxation technique but as a means to access one's true, timeless essence. The goal is the cessation of mental fluctuations to recognize the stillness and fullness at the core of being. Commitment to Practice The importance of long-term dedication is emphasized. Students are encouraged to remain engaged with the practices over time, as deep realization requires persistent application rather than brief exposure. Letting Go of the Ego True yoga involves dissolving the ego—the "personage" that clings to identity and personality. The path is one of surrender and relinquishment of attachments to fully experience spiritual freedom. Outer and Inner Limbs of Yoga The essay delineates between the outer practices (yamas, niyamas, asana, pranayama, pratyahara) and the inner practices (dharana, dhyana, samadhi). Mastery of the outer limbs is seen as foundational for accessing the inner experiences. The Mechanics of Meditation Meditation (dhyana) is defined as uninterrupted focus on a single object. This focus must be maintained for 12 breaths to be considered meditation, and 144 breaths to reach samadhi. These thresholds offer a concrete structure for understanding meditative depth. Modern Distractions and Spiritual Focus The essay criticizes modern distractions like social media and “spiritual doom scrolling.” Instead, it advocates for focused, authentic engagement with traditional texts and practices to cultivate concentration and spiritual discipline. Spiritual Transformation and Evolution Spiritual growth is described as a transformation akin to evolution—from human to divine being (deva). This requires pouring the energy and habits of the old self into a new, higher mode of being. One-Pointedness and Daily Practice One-pointed focus (ekagrata) is vital not only in meditation but in daily activities. Practicing concentrated awareness throughout life enhances the capacity for deeper meditation.

Their situation is not unique; many people experience similar feelings as they navigate their anxiety journey. I delve into the importance of trusting oneself, particularly in moments where decision-making feels paralyzing and anxiety seems insurmountable.Starting with the listener's expression of frustration—waking up feeling exhausted and anxious, despite attempts to find calm through meditation—I break down the message into manageable pieces. I underscore that a tough day, especially one fueled by a lack of restful sleep, is a reality many face. Instead of battling the day's challenges, I encourage embracing them, acknowledging fatigue while allowing anxiety to accompany us without letting it define our day.As the listener grapples with racing thoughts about the future, I draw attention to the futility of trying to force these thoughts away. It's more productive to foster curiosity about them and redirect focus to the present moment. By practicing mindfulness—whether through a simple breath or by engaging with our surroundings—we can ground ourselves in the now, freeing ourselves from the cyclic worry that anxiety often brings.#AnxietySupport, #SelfTrust, #Mindfulness, #StressRelief, #MentalWellness, #CopingSkills, #AnxietyHelp, #MindfulLiving, #PresentMoment, #EmotionalHealth, #PersonalGrowth, #InnerPeace, #HealingJourney, #SelfCare, #AnxietyRecovery, #Meditation, #Breathwork, #CognitiveBehavioralTherapy, #AcceptanceCommitmentTherapy, #WellbeingJourney, #AnxietyFree, #EmotionalRegulation, #OvercomingAnxiety, #AnxietyAwareness, #MentalHealthMatters #GinaRyan #ACP #AnxietyCoachesPodcastSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Ever since Fifty Shades of Grey hit the scene, it seems as though kink and BDSM have become ubiquitous in popular media. But here's the thing: just because kink went mainstream in the last decade or so doesn't mean that it's new. In fact, the roots of BDSM trace back centuries. And the history behind it is fascinating, so that's what we're going to be talking about today. I am joined by author, historian, and journalist Peter Tupper. He runs the History of BDSM blog and wrote the book A Lover's Pinch: A Cultural History of Sadomasochism. Some of the specific topics we explore include: How far back in human history does interest in BDSM go? When we look back through history, how do we know whether something actually reflects BDSM as we know it today? What is the role of religion in the history of BDSM? Where did the term “sadomasochism” come from? How have views on BDSM changed over time? You can check out Peter’s book here. Got a sex question?

About Philippe Johnson:Philippe Johnson is a retired United States Air Force officer and advocate for principled and ethical leadership in public service. The son of a language teacher and career United States Army officer, he was raised in the United States, France, and Germany. During his 24 years on active duty, Lieutenant Colonel Johnson served as a fixed- and rotary-wing pilot, intelligence officer, and diplomat (military attaché), and was honored with the Defense Meritorious Service Medal, the Meritorious Service Medal with two oak leaf clusters, and the Air Medal with one oak leaf cluster. He also served on the staffs of two Air Force major commands as his final two assignments. Philippe received a bachelor's degree in political science from the University of Florida and earned his master's degree in public policy from the University of Maryland's School of Public Policy. In this episode, Dean Newlund and Philippe Johnson discuss:Defining ethical leadership across diverse perspectivesNavigating unprincipled loyalty in power dynamicsRebuilding trust in a post-COVID, virtual workplaceCombating disinformation and the collapse of shared factsAligning values and ethics within polarized environments Key Takeaways:Ethical leadership must be embedded in leadership training from the start of one's career, or organizations risk producing senior leaders who cause significant harm.Self-interest and personality disorders (e.g., narcissism) are major contributors to non-compliance with ethical standards, both in military and corporate settings.Philippe's book uses recent political leadership as a case study to highlight the consequences of unethical, incompetent, and self-serving leadership behaviors.The normalization of disinformation undermines democracy, as without agreed-upon facts, there's no foundation for holding power accountable. "If you're lacking that ethical foundation from the very beginning… you're going to end up with senior leaders who, unfortunately, are not setting the example.” — Philippe Johnson Connect with Philippe Johnson:  Website: http://www.philippejohnson.com/Book: What Hangs in the Balance: The Case for Principled, Ethical, Competent, and Courageously Selfless Leadership: https://www.amazon.com/What-Hangs-Balance-Principled-Courageously/dp/1637633491LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/formulaphil/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/philippe.johnson.52   See Dean's TedTalk “Why Business Needs Intuition” here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EEq9IYvgV7I Connect with Dean:YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgqRK8GC8jBIFYPmECUCMkwWebsite: https://www.mfileadership.com/The Mission Statement E-Newsletter: https://www.mfileadership.com/blog/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/deannewlund/X (Twitter): https://twitter.com/deannewlundFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/MissionFacilitators/Email: dean.newlund@mfileadership.comPhone: 1-800-926-7370 Show notes by Podcastologist: Hanz Jimuel AlvarezAudio production by Turnkey Podcast Productions.

This week, we will be studying 2 Peter 1:3-8 under the theme “Become Like Him.” As John Mark Comer writes, “You will never work harder for anything in your life than Christlike character, and nothing else will ever feel like such an unearned gift. This is a paradox you simply have to experience for yourself.” (Practicing The Way, pg. 111) Or, as Peter writes, "His divine power has given us everything we need for a godly life through our knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and goodness.” (2 Pet. 1:3)SERIES SUMMARY: This series is based on the best-selling Christian book, Practicing the Way, by John Mark Comer. This work guides Christians toward spiritual formation by following the lifestyle of Jesus — through intentional practices like silence, sabbath, simplicity, and community. It emphasizes becoming like Jesus by doing what he did, integrating faith into everyday life through rhythm, discipline, and deep apprenticeship.How can we pray for you? tinyurl.com/stmarcusprayersFill out our online connection card: tinyurl.com/stmarcusconnectcardIf you'd like to leave an offering or monetary donation to our ministry please click here: https://tinyurl.com/stmarcusgive

Today's poem is Practicing by Ciona Rouse. The Slowdown is currently taking a break. We'll be back soon with new episodes from a new host. This week, we're going back into the archive to revisit Ada Limón's time as host. Today's episode was originally released on May 18, 2022. In this episode, former host Ada Limón writes… “I've always been interested in how we plan for the future. I try to put a little money away now and again for a rainy day as they say. I try to imagine future scenarios to see if I am prepared. But if the last three years have taught me anything, it's that I cannot be prepared for all the scenarios. Life is full of terrific… and terrifying surprises. I never know what's coming next. I can only be here at this moment and try to be somewhat flexible.” Celebrate the power of poems with a gift to The Slowdown today. Every donation makes a difference: https://tinyurl.com/rjm4synp
