Podcasts about Selflessness

Jim Murphy is the author of "Inner Excellence," a book compelling enough that NFL players read it during playoff games. This conversation explores Jim's counterintuitive thesis that selflessness, not ego, is the foundation of fearless performance. We discuss his journey from mental breakdown to spiritual awakening, his five years of solitude in the desert, and why self-centeredness is our greatest obstacle to both peak performance and fulfillment. Along the way, Jim reveals my own attachment to outcomes and the transactional relationship I have with love. Jim's wisdom is hard-won. This conversation is powerful. Enjoy!

One of the curious aspects of human nature is how widely our consciences can vary. Some people feel uneasy even after doing something relatively harmless, while others can commit truly terrible acts without their conscience so much as flinching.In this episode, Thom explores how character forms the foundation of our conscience, while personality expresses it.Thankfully, the Vedic worldview doesn't leave us at the mercy of our flaws. Thom shares a time-tested approach that can transform even deeply flawed character traits and sharpen our ability to discern right from wrong.Timestamps:[00:45] Right vs Wrong[02:28] Selflessness vs Selfishness[04:30] Personality - The Delivery Mechanism for Character[06:56] Changing Character and Conscience Through Vedic Meditation[10:08] Developing Baseline Happiness[13:05] Happiness Through Hedonism[15:18] The Repercussions of an Identity Crisis[17:22] Vedic Meditation as a Solution to an Addict Mentality[18:40] Bliss Plus[21:05] Ayurveda - Relevant Longevity[23:02] A Great Conscience is a Reflection of Great Character

Pastor Danielle Frazer shows how Jesus upends worldly ambition by teaching that true greatness in his kingdom is found in humble service rather than seeking status.

THE BOOK OF RUTH| GOD'S RESTORATION PLAN| Preservation and Prospective Living| Discipleship |Session-22| 2025| CHIMDI OHAHUNA This episode takes a closer look at the poignant narrative of the Book of Ruth, highlighting the essential themes of loyalty and mutuality that define the relationship between Ruth and Naomi. Key Highlights: - The Nature of Relationships: The teaching emphasizes the importance of mutual respect in relationships. Naomi's grasp of courtesy serves as a reflection of spiritual maturity and demonstrates the depth of faith-based connections. - Cultural Context: We reference Joseph Benson's commentary, revealing societal practices of Ruth and Naomi's time. Widows commonly returned to their families to reaffirm their faith, setting the stage for the critical choices made by Ruth and Oprah. - Breaking Norms: The episode addresses the courageous decisions made by Ruth and Oprah when faced with the opportunity to return to their families. Their actions highlight a bold departure from societal expectations, motivated by the understanding of the God Naomi introduced to them. - The Cost of Faith: A thought-provoking question emerges: Are you a "care receiver" or a "sold out" believer? Ruth stands as a model of sacrificial faith, embodying a willingness to prioritize God's kingdom over personal comfort. - Selflessness in Giving: A focus on selflessness reveals how our lives can mirror the unconditional love of Yahweh. Naomi's guidance encouraged her daughters-in-law to exhibit the same kind of selfless love that God demonstrates to humanity, as illustrated in Romans 5:8 and John 3:16. - A Call to Action: We must evaluate our authenticity as witnesses of Christ. Are our contributions to God's kingdom motivated by selflessness or personal gain? This reflection invites deep consideration of our commitment to His agenda on earth. Tune in for heartfelt insights and thought-provoking teaching that inspire a deeper understanding of faith and commitment.

Send me your thoughts in a Text MessageI help spiritual seekers to end seeking so that they can enjoy a life of freedom.https://bit.ly/3T0JYqJ If you've been seeking awakening for years and feel like you're almost there, but something keeps holding you back - you're caught in the seeker's ultimate trap: the very act of seeking is what's keeping you from recognising what you already are.You could spend another decade chasing the next breakthrough, the next teacher, the next method, growing more spiritually exhausted and further from the freedom you crave.But what if I told you there's one question that exposes a hidden pattern from childhood so clearly that the entire seeking game collapses in an instant? What if the freedom you've been desperately searching for has been waiting for something that you can give to yourself? There's something your mind doesn't want you to discover about why you started seeking in the first place.

What if even your most cherished beliefs—your opinions, routines, and even your gratitude—were quietly reinforcing the illusion of identity? In this raw and revealing conversation, we explore the unexpected ways certainty creeps into our lives and how even self-help tools like affirmations can tether us to a fictional sense of self. From the liberating disorientation of travel to the spiritual bypassing hidden in gratitude, we peel back the comfortable layers of our assumptions. We also confront the real reason we fear change, and why helping others might still be about us. If you've ever felt uneasy letting go of control, this episode will challenge what you think it means to “be yourself.” It's not about who you are—it's about how tightly you're holding on.

Today's podcast focuses on how to discern the difference between being selfish and selfless, specifically around setting boundaries or anytime we assert ourselves. When it comes to depicting the self as bad, we have to be very careful when speaking in absolutes or in all or nothing language. The reality is, when someone is healing from trauma, there are times when the sense of self has to be focused on as a temporary passage, in order to achieve becoming selfless.

Geoffrey Shugen Arnold, Roshi - ZMM - 4/23/25 - The Perfection of Wisdom Sutra shows us there is no intrinsic right and wrong when we understand the nature of emptiness. Selflessness is a key aspect of this wisdom, and developing a clear understanding is essential. The self-less wisdom is what we can rely on to guide us within a world of dualities: good and bad, right and wrong, form and emptiness, seeing their true nature as non dual. In emptiness, nothing exists as separate on its own; all reality is interdependent. Not grasping, not holding on to, not forsaking anything, this is how Shugen Roshi explains the practice of the Perfection of Wisdom.

Send us a textHave you ever caught yourself standing in the way of God's work rather than transparently revealing Christ to others? Today's powerful reflection draws from a familiar childhood phrase – "you make a better door than a window" – to challenge our approach to Christian living.Drawing from Colossians 1:27 and Galatians 2:20, we explore what it truly means for Christ to live in us as "the hope of glory." The journey from spiritual immaturity to maturity often follows a predictable path: we begin focused on ourselves – our blessings, our healing, our calling – before eventually realizing that authentic Christianity shifts the spotlight entirely off ourselves and onto Jesus.This episode delves into how our culture's obsession with material possessions and self-promotion creates spiritual "doors" that block others from seeing what truly matters. In contrast, when we embrace servanthood like Jesus and Paul modeled, we become windows through which others can glimpse the divine. Rather than being caught on camera doing something wrong, what if the watching world witnessed us serving, giving, and imitating Christ?The world desperately needs Jesus, not more Christian influencers drawing attention to themselves. Today's encouragement calls us to radical transparency – to move out of the way so Christ can be clearly seen through us. As we pour ourselves out in service to others following Christ's example, we fulfill our highest calling as believers. Join us in this challenging but essential journey of becoming less so He can become more.Support the show

Through raw biblical truths and practical guidance, we aim to offer a clearer path towards embracing God's promises and renewing your spiritual journey.-Key Takeaways:Embrace a mindset of spiritual growth beyond mere self-esteem by allowing God to mold and prepare you for greater purposes.The stories of Moses and Gideon remind us that feelings of inadequacy should not hinder us from stepping into God's calling.Faith should be actively engaged and shared with others, rather than being hidden or kept private.Past mistakes do not disqualify you from God's plan; instead, they can be stepping stones for His grace and transformative work.Individual and collective preparation is crucial to experiencing genuine spiritual revival and the presence of God in our lives.Looking for more?

You ever feel like serving costs more than it's worth? Like obedience is inconvenient… and forgiveness feels unfair? This message from Pastor Derek flips all that upside down. Because in the Kingdom of God, the path forward is found in going low. ✔️ Serve even when it's hard ✔️ Forgive even when it's undeserved ✔️ Obey even when it's inconvenient Jesus didn't come to be served—He came to serve. And if He did it, we can too. This week, choose the posture that unlocks reconciliation, faith, and purpose. Just do it.

Talking today about why we have to keep fighting and why we must move forward. Because it's not about us.
