Podcasts about reclaiming

Is it possible to be a Christian, but not a disciple? What does the Bible teach regarding discipleship? Is there really a “2-tier” system when it comes to following Jesus? Listen to Pastor Brendon, one of our associate pastors, as he unpacks what Jesus has to say about discipleship and what it means to our lives.

Canadian singer-songwriter Chantal Kreviazuk is known for her distinct voice and gift for writing songs rooted in honesty and vulnerability. It's a talent that's earned her a Grammy and multiple Junos. But you might not know that beyond her career as a successful solo artist, Chantal has also penned songs for some of the biggest artists working today, including Kendrick Lamar, Drake, Gwen Stefani and Kelly Clarkson. Now, she's reimagining those songs on her new cover album, “In My Own Voice.” Chantal joins Tom Power at the piano in our studio to talk about the hits that made her a star in Canada, and why she wanted to reclaim some of the songs she's written for others.

Welcome to Day 2741 of Wisdom-Trek, and thank you for joining me. This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to Wisdom – Theology Thursday – Pentecost and the Reversal of Babel: Reclaiming the Nations for Yahweh Wisdom-Trek Podcast Script - Day 2741 Welcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps!   I am Guthrie Chamberlain, and we are on Day 2741 of our Trek.   The Purpose of Wisdom-Trek is to create a legacy of wisdom, to seek out discernment and insights, and to boldly grow where few have chosen to grow before. Our current series of Theology Thursday lessons is written by theologian and teacher John Daniels. I have found that his lessons are short, easy to understand, doctrinally sound, and applicable to all who desire to learn more of God's Word. John's lessons can be found on his website   theologyinfive.com.   Today's lesson is titled Pentecost and the Reversal of Babel: Reclaiming the Nations for Yahweh   The biblical narrative does not unfold randomly—it is a carefully structured drama of rebellion, judgment, and redemption. One of the clearest examples of this pattern occurs between two seemingly distant events: the judgment at the Tower of Babel in Genesis Eleven and the outpouring of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost in Acts two. While Babel marked the disinheritance and scattering of the nations due to collective rebellion, Pentecost served as a supernatural reversal of that judgment and the formal beginning of Yahweh's mission to reclaim the nations under the rule of His Son, Jesus the Messiah. This first segment is: Babel: Humanity's United Rebellion and Yahweh's Judgment. In Genesis Eleven, mankind, still united by one language and culture, gathered in defiance of God's command to spread out and fill the earth (Genesis Nine verse 1).   Instead, they sought to build a tower—a ziggurat—that would “reach to the heavens” and make a name for themselves. This act was more than urban planning or architectural ambition; it was a spiritual rebellion. In the Ancient Near East, ziggurats symbolized sacred space, portals between heaven and earth, where humans could manipulate the gods. The Tower of Babel, therefore, represented a counterfeit mountain of assembly—an attempt to storm heaven and force divine presence on human terms. God responded not by destroying them physically but by confusing their language. This act severed their ability to conspire as one. More significantly, according to Deuteronomy thirty-two verses eight and nine (Dead Sea Scrolls versions), God responded by disinheriting the nations: When the Most High assigned lands to the nations, when he divided up the human race, he established the boundaries of the peoples according to the number in his heavenly court. “For the people of Israel belong to the Lord; Jacob is his special possession. This passage reveals a profound truth: Yahweh handed over the rebellious nations to lesser divine beings—members of the heavenly host often referred to as the bene elohim. These beings were expected to rule justly, but Psalm 82 shows that they instead oppressed and corrupted the nations under their charge, leading Yahweh to declare their doom. From Babel onward, Yahweh would focus on a single nation—Israel—through whom He would eventually bless all the nations (Genesis twelve verse three). The second segment is: Pentecost: The Gathering Begins. Fast forward to Acts two. The Jewish feast of Shavuot (Pentecost) had brought devout Jews and proselytes from across the known world to Jerusalem. This was the perfect...

Send us a textEver felt that dizzy aftertaste of a conversation where everything somehow becomes your fault? We sit down with coach and mentor Kyle Miller to untangle the confusion around narcissistic abuse, the misuse of the word “narcissist,” and the practical steps that help survivors reclaim clarity, confidence, and peace.Kyle shares a grounded way to tell patterns apart, focusing on three crucial signals: accountability, empathy, and compassion. From there, we explore how emotional abuse hides in plain sight—not as one dramatic event, but as a string of small, explainable moments that add up to harm. Kyle explains why rumination is the mind's attempt to make sense of chaos and how validation turns looping thoughts into a coherent story you can finally put down. We also dig into the difference between niceness and kindness, why your downtime counts as a real appointment, and how to build boundaries that protect your energy without isolating you from healthy connection.For friends watching from the outside, Kyle offers a better approach than “just leave.” You'll hear why questions beat ultimatums, how intermittent reinforcement keeps people stuck, and what earned trust looks like after you've been burned. Along the way, Kyle shares parts of his own journey—how one blunt, caring challenge saved him from a false story about himself—and the coaching practices he uses to help clients move from survival to a life that feels like theirs again.If you're sorting through gaslighting, rebuilding self-trust, or trying to support someone you love, this conversation pairs clear definitions with compassionate tools you can use today.

Send us a text message and tell us your thoughts.A building can be history you can walk through, and in the Caribbean those stories are contested, resilient, and alive. With Professor Dahlia Nduom, we explore how colonial styles, tourist imagery, and community ingenuity have shaped what gets built and what gets erased as we move from great houses to tenement yards, spaces that encode climate logic, kinship, and care. We unpack how imagery once glorified plantations while hiding the homes of the enslaved, and how vernacular elements later became tropical décor, stripped of context. That's where practice preservation matters: teaching Spanish walling and thatching; documenting craft with computation; and elevating incremental, remittance-powered building as a valid design strategy. We also look at resilience after disasters while spotlighting community organizations and design labs translating old intelligence into future-ready methods.Policy sits at the heart of who gets to belong. We talk land tenure and how post-disaster aid often clashes with customary ownership. The path forward blends community-led design, climate-appropriate materials, and practical toolkits for safer self-building, while recognizing tropical modern works that carried post-independence identity. It's a future where technology serves tradition, and preservation centers methods over façades. Listen to rethink what counts as “good architecture,” how culture and climate shape better choices, and discover ways to support people rebuilding with dignity. Dahlia Nduom is a Visiting Associate Professor at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign's School of Architecture.   She received a BA in Architecture and Visual Studies from the University of Pennsylvania and an M.Arch from Columbia University.  A licensed architect and educator, her work is rooted in history, culture, and perception and their impact on architecture across locales in the United States, Ghana, and the Caribbean. She has published and presented her work nationally and internationally,  most recently at the Octagon Museum in Washington, DC. Her work has been recognized with the National Organization of Minority Architects' Honor Award: Unbuilt Category (2017), the AIA DC Architect Educator Award (2022), and she was named a 2024 Diverse: Issues in Higher Education's Emerging Scholar.  Support Hurricane Melissa Relief EffortsSupport the showConnect with Strictly Facts - Instagram | Facebook | Twitter | LinkedIn | YouTube | Website Looking to read more about the topics covered in this episode?

I brought Whitney Baker on to explore a critical issue for moms: how we lose ourselves in the chaos of motherhood. We dove deep into the ways moms run on autopilot, constantly doing for everyone else while neglecting their own needs. Whitney helped me articulate something I've felt deeply - that taking care of ourselves isn't selfish, it's actually the most generous thing we can do for our families. Whitney Baker is the founder of Electric Ideas, a movement helping modern women—especially moms—wake back up to themselves and reclaim the spark they've lost in the noise of roles and responsibilities. As a self-connection coach and certified meditation teacher, Whitney blends soulful practice with practical action, guiding women out of autopilot and into lives that feel deeply alive and aligned. With a master's degree in journalism, she brings a storyteller's clarity to her work and hosts the globally ranked Electric Ideas podcast, a top-three-percent show where she curates conversations that ignite joy, clarity and aliveness in women everywhere. We discussed the sneaky ways moms disconnect - from exhausting social media comparison to never stopping to ask what we actually want. The big revelation? Small, intentional actions can reignite our spark. Whether it's a two-minute morning routine or saying no without explanation, we can reclaim our identity. Learn more about your ad choices.

HEADLINE: GAIUS & GERMANICUS IN LONDINIUM 91 AD: Reclaiming James I as the True Founding Father. Preparing to see a mock battle staged by centurions in Londinium, Gaius and Germanicus discuss the unappreciated legacy of James I (James VI of Scotland), asserting he is the true founding father of the United States. James I, an intellectual king who took the throne in 1603, faced challenges from the powerful Spanish Empire over territorial claims in the New World. When the Spanish ambassador complained about incursions near Chesapeake Bay, James I gave an "opaquely professional" response, disclaiming crown involvement and calling it "private business." This non-committal stance prevented war and allowed colonization to proceed. By 1618, he solidified this by granting a charter to the struggling Virginia colony. His light management established self-governance, setting the course for both modern Britain and the United States. 1901 OLD HOUSE Retry

In this powerful episode, Mike welcomes back Laura G. Patac—author, storyteller, and transformation strategist—to explore the ideas behind her latest book, Whole, Not Perfect. Through honest conversation and deep insights, Laura reveals why reinvention isn't a destination but a lived journey shaped by every experience, every pivot, and every scar earned along the way. Together, Mike and Laura unpack the beauty of our personal origin stories and the quiet, unseen moments that shape who we become.

Do you keep your Spiritual Reiki practice in a box - separate from your "real life”? I very much used to.In this episode, we dissolve the artificial separation between your Reiki practice and how you actually live. You'll discover what mainstream Reiki training never teaches you: how to safely integrate your full Spiritual Reiki practice - your guides, your belief system, your knowing - into every single day.This isn't about following the rulebook perfectly. It's about reclaiming your Spiritual authority, trusting what you already sense is true, and remembering that Reiki isn't something you do - it's something you live. If you've felt the exhaustion of compartmentalisation, if you're ready to stop waiting for permission to be powerful, if you're sensing there's more to your practice than mainstream training showed you - this episode is for you. By the end of this episode, you will discover: -Why compartmentalising your Reiki practice is actually exhausting you instead of empowering you - and how the artificial separation between "Spiritual practice" and "real life" keeps you waiting for permission to be fully powerful in your own work (even though that authority was never external to begin with). -How to integrate your actual belief system - your guides, your Spiritual team, your knowing - into a full-life animistic Reiki practice without apology, without watering it down, and without needing mainstream validation that what you're experiencing is "real." -The 4 pillars of living an animistic Reiki life - listening to your body's wisdom equally with your Spiritual team's guidance, inviting your belief system without hiding it, recognizing sacred work everywhere (not just formal sessions), and trusting yourself as the creator with spiritual support - not the rulebook. -Where your sovereignty is actually waiting - by identifying the specific places you're still separating your practice from your life, where fear and resistance live, and how reclaiming those spaces transforms you from someone following someone else's system into someone living their own animistic, Spirit-led life. ill add the pod link in laterSpirit-led Reiki Pathway: https://www.reikiredefined.com/spirit-led-reiki-pathway/Lifting the Veil on Reiki free on demand workshop: https://www.reikiredefined.com/lifting-the-veil-on-reikiFree Community: https://www.reikiredefined.com/free-communityYou'll find me most on Tiktok @reikiredefined and other socials @reikiredefined

  Welcome back, Career Unicorns! This week, we are honored to host the incredible Dr. Grace Poon Ghaffari: a motherscholar practitioner, proud daughter of Chinese immigrants, and embodied healer. Grace is an Assistant Professor at San Jose State University, where she focuses on healing and harm among student survivors of sexual and relationship violence, examining how these experiences are intertwined with broader systems of oppression. In this deep and vital conversation, we discuss why the traditional justice system often fails to be a source of healing, the critical importance of naming violence as it truly is (especially anti-Asian women hate), and how to move toward decolonizing our own healing experiences. Grace shares her wisdom on tuning into ancestral knowledge, recognizing the validity of traditional wisdom, and finding sustainable ways to resist the exhausting cycles of systemic harm and microaggressions.

Join host Charna Cassell for a raw and eye opening conversation with Margaret Bronson, founder of Deconstruction Doulas. Margaret grew up inside a high control Christian cult and survived domestic violence, child abuse, excommunication, and the long psychological fallout of authoritarian religion. Now she guides others through the same dismantling of belief systems that once owned them. In this episode, Margaret unpacks how she and her husband developed somatic practices to help survivors heal the trauma stored in the body after years of purity culture, spiritual coercion, and obedience enforced through shame and fear. She breaks down what truly happens inside high control religious communities and why so many people leaving them feel like they're stepping out of a parallel universe. This conversation also dives into the political reality many of us are waking up to. Margaret explains how the same ideology that shaped her childhood is now embedded in Project 2025, Christian Reconstructionism, and the growing Trad Wife movement. She outlines the playbook of modern theocrats and shows how personal trauma and national policy are intertwined when religion is weaponized. If you're feeling a visceral reaction to Project 2025, this episode will help you understand why. Margaret offers grounding tools, embodied healing practices, and a clear-eyed look at what we're facing as the country edges closer to an openly theocratic agenda. Tune in for a fierce, validating, and deeply necessary conversation for anyone untangling from religious trauma or trying to make sense of this political moment.

In this episode, I sit down with Tristan Scott, an electrical engineer turned health researcher who's helping build healthier technology at Daylight Computer. He bridges two worlds that rarely meet: the precision of electrical engineering and the intuition of human biology. And what he's discovered is that our digital tools might be draining more than just our attention. We explore why grounding and sunlight matter more than most people realize, what really happens when EMFs meet the body's own electrical system, and why "energy efficiency" might be costing us our health. Tristan is designing tech that respects human circadian biology instead of hijacking it at Daylight Computer. Because our bodies are already electrical systems, the question is whether we're working with that power or against it.

JOIN THE 7 DAY RESET - ▶️ www.therebuiltman.com/7dayreset   In today's episode of The Rebuilt Man, Coach Frank exposes one of the biggest lies men have been sold:   Porn addiction isn't driven by sexual desire — it's driven by emotional survival.   We break down 12 hidden reasons men run to porn that have NOTHING to do with sex, including how cultural programming conditioned men to measure their masculinity by their libido  and why this false identity keeps millions trapped in cycles of shame, isolation, and self-sabotage.   If you've ever wondered "Why am I still going back to porn even though I don't want it?" — this episode will finally make the answer clear.   Expect to Learn Why most men use porn as stress relief — not sexual arousal   How emotional pain, insecurity, and overwhelm fuel compulsive behavior   How society programs men to equate masculinity with sexual performance   Why real intimacy scares men more than sexual fantasy   How pornography becomes a counterfeit source of validation and control   The connection between identity wounds and relapse cycles   The neuroscience behind cue → craving → ritual → shame addiction loops   Why freedom has nothing to do with willpower — and everything to do with identity   Key Takeaways Men are programmed to equate masculinity with sexual desire   The insecurity → performance → validation trap keeps men enslaved   Porn reinforces the lie that men must dominate to have value   A man's worth is not measured by his libido   Reclaiming identity is a sign of strength — not weakness   Challenging cultural sexual expectations leads to real confidence and peace   Masculinity must be defined by character, purpose, and leadership — not sexual performance Why This Matters   This episode sheds light on the truth most men never hear:   You're not addicted because you're perverted. You're addicted because you're in pain — and no one taught you how to heal.   When a man rebuilds his identity, purpose, nervous system, and brotherhood… porn loses its power.   Next Step If you're ready to stop trying harder and start getting free, join the:

Bjorn Ryan-Gorman, professional snowskater and LGBTQ+ advocate, shares his journey from hiding his sexuality behind aggressive board sports to building a life of authenticity in Portland. Growing up in Montana as a sponsored snow athlete, Ryan-Gorman used snowboarding and skateboarding as outlets for self-hatred and denial, pushing himself to dangerous extremes before hearing a podcast that changed everything. He reveals the complex reactions from family—his mom's unexpected resistance, his dad's surprising embrace, and grandparents who rejected him entirely. Ryan-Gorman explores masculine drag within the bear community, the importance of diverse LGBTQ+ representation beyond stereotypes, and the persistent question that haunts him in rural spaces: Am I safe here? This conversation challenges assumptions about what gay men look like, explores how coming out should be celebrated but not sensationalized, and offers insight into the ongoing struggle of navigating safety, identity, and belonging in America.

Start Your Transformation Now  In this episode of The Jim Fortin Podcast, Jim continues his transformative “Shaman's Tips for an Amazing 2026” series with Part 3, diving into four more timeless lessons from Don Javier and Don Juan. Through their teachings, Jim reveals how much of what we call “reality” is merely a web of illusions—identities, fears, and appearances we've unconsciously created—and how to transcend them.  He explores the illusion of identity, the toxicity of overthinking, and why reason and rationality can trap us in limitation. Jim also shares how to shift out of appearances and reclaim your awareness as the creator of your experience. And, in true Don Juan fashion, he closes with a blunt reminder: we don't get what we want in life because we're being ridiculous—stuck in self-doubt and fear.  If you're ready to stop being ruled by fear, logic, or other people's expectations, this episode is your invitation to rise above the illusions that keep you small and embrace the truth of who you really are—pure, creative consciousness.  What You'll Discover in This Episode:  Replacing one illusion with another (02:52) Jim explains why most people simply trade one illusionary identity for another—and how to connect instead to the most empowering truth: that you are infinite intelligence.  The toxicity of reason and rationality (12:01) Discover how overthinking, analysis, and constant reasoning can block intuition and spiritual flow—and why true awareness comes from sensing, not thinking.  We are slaves to appearances (21:19) Jim reveals how focusing on appearances—money, health, or status—traps you in limitation, and why awareness of your creative power is the only true freedom.  You don't get what you want because you're ridiculous (31:20) Learn Don Juan's hard-hitting lesson about “ridiculousness”—the self-talk and beliefs that make you doubt your worth, potential, and power.  Reclaiming your divine identity (37:03) Jim summarizes how recognizing yourself as consciousness—the ultimate power in the universe—dissolves fear and transforms how you live, act, and create.  Listen, apply, and enjoy!  Transformational Takeaway  Your reality is built from your attention. When you stop overthinking, stop reacting to appearances, and remember you are infinite intelligence, everything changes. You are not your illusions. You are the creator behind them. Drop the ridiculous stories, trust your higher awareness, and step boldly into 2026 as the conscious, limitless being you truly are.    Let's Connect:  Instagram | Facebook | YouTube | LinkedIn  LIKED THE EPISODE?  If you're the kind of person who likes to help others, then share this with your friends and family.
