Podcasts about rejecting

How do you recognize the lies that fuel fear, doubt, and insecurity? Based on 2 Timothy 1:7, this devotional explores how to reject thoughts that contradict God's truth and embrace the power, love, and sound mind He has given every believer.

What is the connection between addiction and never truly feeling content? We talk a lot about underlying issues for alcoholism – things like childhood trauma and financial stress. But what about when we chase external fulfillment because we are incapable of internal fulfillment? We pursue chaos because we are not comfortable being content. And what is it like to be in a relationship with someone who never feels contentment? Please go to UntoxicatedSurvey.org to better understand the impact of alcohol and/or emotional abuse on you and your family. Whether you are the drinker or the partner, whether you feel a lack of emotional safety or don't really know what that means, we can help you feel supported. Take the survey and learn more about our Echoes of Recovery and SHOUT Sobriety programs. You've got this, and we've got you.

Today's episode is a follow up from next week talking about what emotional IMMATURITY looks like. It shows up in all of us from time to time so I think it's important to consider what we do with this and not just that it happens to be there. When there's an overwhelming sense of emotional immaturity it's definitely a sign to get some support, or to distance yourself from people who might be showing up this way. Resources: Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents: How to Heal from Distant, Rejecting, or Self-Involved ParentsRecovering from Emotionally Immature Parents: Practical Tools to Establish Boundaries and Reclaim Your Emotional Autonomy Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents Guided Journal: Your Space to Heal, Reflect, and Reconnect with Your True SelfSend us a text message to be anonymously read and responded to!

"Ancient Greek Philosopher-Scientists" presents a compelling exploration of the Pre-Socratic thinkers who laid the groundwork for Western philosophy and science. Rejecting traditional religious explanations, these early philosopher-scientists sought rational understandings of natural phenomena, marking a pivotal shift in human thought. Although none of their original works survive, this collection brings together their surviving fragments and the insights of later authors, allowing listeners to grasp their enduring influence. The themes of inquiry and rationality resonate powerfully today, reminding us of the importance of questioning and understanding the world around us.

Berlin-Based House Virtuoso Biesmans Unveils Time-Transcending Summer Anthem "Out Of Sight" On Friday, July 31st, Belgian-born, Berlin-based producer and DJ Biesmans is set to deliver the ultimate soundtrack to the sun-drenched season with his brilliant new single, "Out Of Sight." Known for his captivating, hardware-driven approach to production, the MUEM Records boss offers a masterclass in what he affectionately terms “Heart Groove”—house music designed to move the body, stir the emotions, and unite the dancefloor. Rejecting passing trends in favor of timeless artistry, "Out Of Sight" is a vibrant, sun-soaked record built to outlast the season. The track brilliantly anchors itself on a powerful, driving groove, layered with a rich, melodic complexity that pays homage to the legendary pioneers of French house. For Biesmans, the inspiration for the track came from looking backward to move forward: "I wanted to create a track that could last not one but several summers! Nothing based on hype, but getting inspired by digging through my personal collection of feel-good-house. Focusing on a powerful groove and a melodic part that borrows from the French-house-masters." Biesmans' reputation as a master craftsman of warm analog synths and unforgettable melodies has been forged through years of dedicated studio experimentation. His passion for hardware and machines—often shared via his popular social media POV studio sessions—is defined by a process of trial, error, and an innate understanding of sounds that resonate deeply on a physical level. This meticulous yet soulful approach has caught the attention of the underground's most respected institutions. Biesmans' impressive catalog boasts releases on powerhouse labels like Running Back, Turbo Recordings, and Correspondant. Beyond his acclaimed debut album Trains, Planes and Automobiles, he curated the prestigious Watergate 28 compilation, collaborating with electronic heavyweights including Mathew Jonson, Zombies in Miami, Kasper Bjørke, and Shubostar. As a dynamic presence behind the decks, Biesmans has channeled his infectious energy into the world's most iconic club spaces and festival stages, from the sacred rooms of Panorama Bar, Fabric, Fuse, and D-Edge, to sweeping festival crowds at Tomorrowland, Pukkelpop, EXIT, and Fusion. Currently hard at work on a highly anticipated new album for 2026, Biesmans continues to strip away the noise of the modern industry to focus on what truly matters. With "Out Of Sight," he delivers a powerful, emotional, and profoundly social club record that reminds us exactly why we lose ourselves on the dancefloor in the first place. "Out Of Sight" will be available on all major streaming platforms and digital download stores on Friday, July 31st.

Everyone on a GLP-1 is watching the scale; almost no one is watching their bones. Bone loss isn't an inevitable part of aging; it's a reversible signal that something deeper is going wrong, and it starts far earlier than most people are ever warned.In this episode, Dr. Gabrielle Lyon sits down with Dr. Douglas Lucas, a former Stanford-trained orthopedic surgeon turned bone-health specialist, to discuss:Why bone loss begins around 45 during perimenopause, not 50, and why waiting for your first DEXA scan at 65 is far too late to prevent itThe blind spots in the standard DEXA scan: a scan-to-scan margin of error near 6% and no read on bone quality, only quantityBone turnover markers (CTX and P1NP) you can test from blood to see whether you're building or breaking down bone in real timeWhy the "protein is bad for bones" and "alkalize your diet" beliefs are myths and why protein, minerals, and adequate calcium matter more than calcium aloneWhat rebuilds bone at home: resistance training, real impact like heel drops, and vertical vibration plates used ~10 minutes a dayUnderstanding your bones as a living, changeable organ system means you can catch loss early, measure it honestly, and reverse the trajectory, instead of accepting decline as your fate.Thank you to our sponsors:Head to https://bit.ly/4ftfObn and use code DRLYON for 25% off sitewide.

Joe examines Protestant worries about overstating doctrine that is necessary for salvation, specifically Marian dogmas. On the surface it seems like a perfectly logical concern, but Joe takes the time to demonstrate why they are necessary.

July 26, 2026Trump and his allies are acting as if the Constitution doesn't exist, Their actions align with the strategy of Nazi political theorist Carl Schmitt, Schmitt's philosophy centered around the idea that power belongs to the man who can exploit emergencies that create exceptions to the constitutional order, Trump has declared emergencies to justify deploying troops to Iran, to impose tariffs, and to sidestep Congress repeatedly, Trump is on track to issue vastly more emergency orders so far in his second term than were issued by any other president this century during their entire term, Trump will also be ignoring many different laws if plans proceed to build his proposed triumphal arch,  Ever since officials acknowledged to reporters that Trump planned to build the arch, Trump made clear that the arch is all about him.Watch today's recording here: https://www.youtube.com/live/g9TUa1Rwd6U?si=T8_KKcHQZElhpnZ-Get full, free access to Letters from an American here: https://heathercoxrichardson.substack.com/subscribeYou can also find me:Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/hcrichardson.bsky.socialInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/heathercoxrichardson/?hl=enFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/heathercoxrichardson/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@heathercoxrichardson Get full access to Letters from an American at heathercoxrichardson.substack.com/subscribe

Rachel shares her journey of walking out on exclusionary church groups, recovering from a severe mental health crisis, and rediscovering her musical voice within a safe, authentic environment. The conversation strips away corporate religious jargon to explore what it means to live out grace when traditional ideas of instant miracles fall short.Together, they challenge the idea that faith requires absolute certainty, highlighting instead how asking hard questions opens the door to genuine personal growth. From humorous reflections on the absolute simplest summary of scripture to the raw reality of leaning on lifelines during survival moments, this episode offers a grounded blueprint for sitting with the messy elements of life while actively manufacturing joy.#FilthyHope #FaithDeconstruction #FaithNoFilter #QueerChristian #NeurodiversityInChurch #MentalHealthSurvival #RadicalGrace #ModernMiracles #AutismAndFaith #ADHDAndFaith

In this episode, Carrie Pickett challenges believers to stop letting their bank accounts dictate their obedience to God. True prosperity isn't just about money; it is a spiritual identity rooted in God's abundant nature. Key Highlights "If It's God's Will, It's God's Bill": When God calls you to step out, He provides the resources—whether that means finances, people, or opportunities. Abundance is an Identity: Because Christ lives in you, you already possess the fullness of His riches. You are not a "spiritual beggar" waiting for crumbs. Rejecting the Poverty Mentality: Don't let natural limitations, fear, or the limiting mindsets of others stop you from executing God's calling. Watch and learn more at: charisbiblecollege.org

Stealing the future and concealing the theft—capitalism's method, as examined by the author of the acclaimed Carbon Democracy Today, extraordinary wealth seems to arrive from nowhere. The trick of conjuring this unearned wealth is, in fact, the key to understanding capital­ism's origins and a clue to why the catastrophe of climate collapse is upon us: value is created by consuming the future. In The Alibi of Capital: How We Broke the Earth to Steal the Future on the Promise of a Better Tomorrow (Verso, 2026), Professor Timothy Michell explains how this came about through the imperial expansion of the West, en­cumbering today's generations with repayments on earlier extractions. Timothy Mitchell identifies the forms of capitalisation, credit, and coercion that turn prospective assets into present income. Rejecting the common idea that claims on the future create only financial or fictitious capital, he traces the terraforming projects – the destruction of rivers, the colonising of territory, the expan­sion of infrastructure, and the burning of carbon—through which the future has been squandered. Terms such as finance, technology, the economy, and growth function as alibis that conceal this devastating form of extraction. Learn more about your ad choices.

Thom's Nutshell: If you measure your well being according to how others treat you, you are choosing a life over which you have no control. This is voluntary victimization. Allen brings in his study of a “reflective sense of self” as we discuss the ways our difficulties with emotional sobriety impact those we love. Thom and Joe re-explore stoicism through the lens of emotional dependency. Our fear of life is really a fear of emotions.  Patrick reads a passage from Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents: How to Heal from Distant, Rejecting, or Self-Involved Parents by Lindsay Gibson.

Stealing the future and concealing the theft—capitalism's method, as examined by the author of the acclaimed Carbon Democracy Today, extraordinary wealth seems to arrive from nowhere. The trick of conjuring this unearned wealth is, in fact, the key to understanding capital­ism's origins and a clue to why the catastrophe of climate collapse is upon us: value is created by consuming the future. In The Alibi of Capital: How We Broke the Earth to Steal the Future on the Promise of a Better Tomorrow (Verso, 2026), Professor Timothy Michell explains how this came about through the imperial expansion of the West, en­cumbering today's generations with repayments on earlier extractions. Timothy Mitchell identifies the forms of capitalisation, credit, and coercion that turn prospective assets into present income. Rejecting the common idea that claims on the future create only financial or fictitious capital, he traces the terraforming projects – the destruction of rivers, the colonising of territory, the expan­sion of infrastructure, and the burning of carbon—through which the future has been squandered. Terms such as finance, technology, the economy, and growth function as alibis that conceal this devastating form of extraction. Learn more about your ad choices.

Tennis court conditions can quietly shape every rally, and league players often don't know the rules until something weird happens. We talk through real USTA league scenarios where a flapping windscreen, a slippery patch, or poor visibility turns into an argument about fairness. The big theme is simple: safety comes first, but you also have to protect the integrity of the score by handling problems early, clearly, and in good faith so nobody feels blindsided after the match is over.We would greatly appreciate a 5 star rating wherever you listen to podcasts!Please contact us - Website: secondservepodcast.com Instagram: secondservepodcastFacebook: secondservepodcast     Use our referral link to get a FREE Swing Stick ($100 value) with your first year of SwingVision Pro.

In this episode of Wisdom's Table, we're going deep on something a lot of high-achieving entrepreneurs try to skip: REST. If you've been working hard and you're starting to feel the drain, this one is for you. I get personal in this episode. I take you back to 2011 when I hit a wall that changed everything I thought I knew about capacity, output, and what it actually means to be well.  This year, the Lord pressed on me to take a sabbatical from one-on-one coaching through June and July. Honestly? My first reaction was not peace. It was resistance. But I said yes, and what has happened on the other side of that obedience is exactly what this episode is about. I also walk you through a four-part framework I've been using to rest in a way that actually fills you back up. I'm calling it Release, Enter, Satisfy, and Together. This isn't about checking out. It's about checking in, with God, with yourself, with what your soul is actually asking for. Rest isn't a reward for finishing. It's part of the work. Want to learn how to build differently? Check out my group at www.supernaturalceo.com   TIMESTAMPS 00:00:00 - Welcome to Wisdom's Table Introduction to the podcast and today's topic on rest and identity in business. 00:01:00 - Personal Journey with Burnout Rachel shares her experience with burnout and the lessons learned from it. 00:04:39 - The Importance of Rest Discussion on the necessity of rest and how to approach it effectively. 00:06:14 - Four-Step Model for Rest Introduction to a practical model for incorporating rest into life. 00:08:45 - Guarding Against Burnout Exploration of how greed can lead to burnout and the importance of spiritual health. 00:10:29 - Jesus as Our Example Reflection on how Jesus modeled an unhurried life and the importance of focusing on God's mission. 00:12:04 - Rejecting the Pressure to Perform Encouragement to resist societal pressures and stay true to one's mission. 00:14:01 - What to Do When You Rest Practical advice on how to engage in meaningful rest. 00:18:05 - Active Rest with the Lord Emphasis on the importance of active engagement with God during rest. 00:19:18 - Closing Thoughts and Encouragement Wrap-up of the episode and encouragement to share the podcast.

We open up Exodus 3 and treat the burning bush as a pattern for how God gets our attention, shapes our hearts, and forms us into mature believers. We learn to recognise holy ground in everyday life, respond with reverence, let God rebuild our identity, and accept that real encounters often come with a sending assignment. • Holy ground begins with attention and turning aside from busyness • God's presence often interrupts before it instructs • Reverence as removing what separates us from God, not performing a ritual • Rejecting two extremes: God too distant to approach or God too casual to honour • God's holiness moving toward suffering, revealing compassion and justice •Ccalling and purpose growing from burden and endurance, not hype • Insecurity rising on holy ground as an invitation to a divine exchange • Identity anchored in “I AM” rather than self-validation • Every encounter carrying the possibility of assignment, asking what God does in us and through us

Ronald White, guest author, describes how Chamberlain began his academic career at Bowdoin College in 1855, seeking to instill critical thinking in his pupils rather than treating them as mere boys to be regimented. His tenure was marked by encounters with significant historical figures, including visiting senator Jefferson Davis and neighbor Harriet Beecher Stowe, whose readings of Uncle Tom's Cabin he attended. As the nation drifted toward Civil War, Chamberlainfelt an internal crisis, compelled to join the fight despite being a respected professor and father of two young children. In 1862, he famously declined a lucrative sabbatical to study languages in Europe to enlist in the volunteer 20th Maine. Rejecting an initial offer to lead a regiment as colonel, he insisted on "earning and learning" his way to command by serving as a lieutenant colonel under a professional soldier. This choice defined his transition from an intellectual to a battlefield hero. On Great Fields: The Life and Unlikely Heroism of Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain (2)1840 BOWDOIN

In this final hour of the broadcast, guest host Ryan Recker invites listeners to text in their own thoughts regarding a highly debated list published by The Hollywood Reporter. The publication compiled 25 films intended to capture the "essential traits" and "messy contradictions" of the American spirit for an outsider who has never heard of the country. Recker systematically reviews and critiques the choices—ranging from classics like The Godfather and The American President to unexpected additions like Fast & Furious 7 and The Incredibles—while detailing his playful disagreements with colleagues in the newsroom. Rejecting the majority of the publication's list, Recker offers his own definitive choice, the 1993 coming-of-age sports comedy The Sandlot, as the movie that truly embodies the authentic, nostalgic essence of America. Following the film debate, Recker shares other media clips, including a commentary by Stephen A. Smith supporting a recent Supreme Court decision protecting women's sports, before introducing an upcoming segment with attorney Brad Young to analyze major rulings from the Supreme Court term.

There's a quiet frustration a lot of us are carrying right now. Somehow politics has become more about picking a team than solving problems and many of us are looking for a way OUT.Maybe you're tired of the culture wars. Maybe you're exhausted by the constant outrage. Maybe you're looking around wondering why nobody seems to be talking about the things that actually impact your daily life… like childcare, the cost of living, and whether your family can afford the future you want for your kids.If that's you, this chat is going to hit home.I sit down with Tennessee gubernatorial candidate, Dr. Lauren Pinkston, for a chat about independent politics, the childcare crisis, and why so many Americans feel politically homeless right now.Because whether you're deeply involved in politics or you've completely checked out, this chat is really about something much bigger: what happens when ordinary people start looking for practical solutions instead of partisan talking points. We Chat About:Why more Americans are identifying as independent votersThe childcare crisis and its impact on working familiesWhy women belong in positions of political leadershipHow political polarization is leaving many voters feeling unheardWhy focusing on issues instead of culture wars could change the future of governmentWhat it actually means to run as an independent candidateBecause no matter where you land politically, I think all of us are looking for the same thing… a little more hope and a lot more honesty.Connect with Lauren:Learn More About Her Campaign: https://pinkstonfortn.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/pinkstonfortnConnect with Nicole:Work with Nicole: https://nicolewalters.com/work-with-me/Threads: https://threads.net/nicolewaltersYouTube: http://nicolewalters.com/youtubeProduced by Dear MediaSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Jonathan Sayeh and Bill Roggio investigate reports of damaged historic sites in Iran, suggesting they are Iranian information operations.

Read OnlineAs Jesus got into a boat, his disciples followed him. Suddenly a violent storm came up on the sea, so that the boat was being swamped by waves; but he was asleep. They came and woke him, saying, “Lord, save us! We are perishing!” He said to them, “Why are you terrified, O you of little faith?” Then he got up, rebuked the winds and the sea, and there was great calm. Matthew 8:23–26While we should understand Jesus' teachings and actions in a literal sense, the Early Church Fathers also point to a deeper, symbolic meaning—what is known as the Spiritual Sense of Scripture. As the inspired Word of God, the Gospels contain limitless depth and wisdom. The message found in Jesus' words and actions can be applied to any part of our lives and answer any questions we struggle with.One such question is how we deal with the storms of life. Some storms come upon us externally, through illness, persecution, or unforeseen trials. When a storm sets in, we often react with fear and anxiety. When the storm is of our own making, such as from sin, the trial is often more severe. Though fear and anxiety are often the ill effects of life's storms, another more deadly fruit can also arise: the anger that leads to vengeance.In his preaching on this passage, Saint Augustine offers such an insight: “You have heard an insult—it is the wind; you feel anger—it is the wave. When the wind blows and the waves rise, the ship is in danger; so too, when insults stir your heart, your soul is tossed about and put at risk” (Sermon 63 on the New Testament, 2).Because we live and interact with sinful people every day, we will inevitably experience the “wind” of an insult which can lead to the “wave” of angry feelings. When that happens, the question is: What am I going to do with that angry feeling? Augustine warns that insults, which stir up anger, pose a real spiritual danger. He continues: “If, upon hearing an insult, you desire vengeance, the storm swells within you. And behold, if you take vengeance, you may think you have triumphed—but in rejoicing over another's harm, you have suffered shipwreck yourself.”At some point, we have all allowed a storm to swell within us by seeking vengeance, which inevitably leads to our downfall. When anger gives way to irrational arguments, judgment, condemnation, or passive aggression—such as the “silent treatment”—our “boat” begins to sink.Just as the wind and waves battered the Apostles, leading them to fear, so too does anger batter us, driving us toward vengeance and making things worse. In such moments, there is only one remedy: to cry out with the Apostles, “Lord, save us! We are perishing!”What a perfect prayer in the midst of a trial that is turning into a storm! Had the Apostles ignored the presence of the Son of God—who was with them, asleep, awaiting their call—the storm would have continued, and they might have been shipwrecked. But they cried out, seeing that things were getting out of control.When Jesus woke up, He first gently rebuked them, saying, “Why are you terrified, O you of little faith?” Applying this to our analogy of anger and vengeance, we can hear our Lord asking, “Why did you allow anger to take hold of you and swell into a storm?” Though Jesus, in His mercy, can calm the storm caused by our sin, a deep and abiding faith helps us to forgive the initial insult before it takes root, preventing it from growing into anger and vengeance.Reflect today on any initial “wind” that tempts you toward anger. Choose to forgive and offer mercy in return. If a storm is already brewing in your heart, cry out to Jesus as the Apostles did. Though at times it might seem as if our Lord is asleep, He is always with you. Reject fear and anger the moment they begin to stir; but if they do arise, call upon Him in faith: “Lord, save me! I am perishing!” He will calm the storm. My sleeping Lord, I know that You are always with me, calling me to faith and obedience to Your Word. Strengthen me in moments of temptation, that I may remain faithful and choose mercy over vengeance. When storms arise from my sin, forgive me, Lord, and calm the tempest within, healing the wounds caused by my lack of faith. Jesus, I trust in You.  Image: Ernst Georg Bartsch, CC BY-SA 3.0, via Wikimedia Commons  Source: Free RSS feed from catholic-daily-reflections.com — Copyright © 2026 My Catholic Life! Inc.
