Podcasts about Selflessness

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

South Side Baptist ChurchAbbeville, South CarolinaPastor Joel BradberryJuly 13, 2025Sunday AM Servicehttps://www.southsideabbeville.comSermon Notes:Romans 15:1-6With Christ as our perfect example, we are to live selflessly, knowing that harmony in the church greatly glorifies God.Question: What does selflessness look like? Let's follow Paul's reasoning and take note of the four timeless truths about selflessness that are revealed in our text.I. Selflessness bears with the weaknesses of others (1)II. Selflessness pleases our neighbor not one's self (1-2)III. Selflessness looks mostly like Jesus (3)Philippians 2:3-8IV. Selflessness unifies the church and glorifies God (5-6)

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.

Have you spent your life being the strong one, the giver, the achiever — only to find yourself exhausted, disconnected, and quietly wondering, “Is this really what I worked so hard for?”In this raw and revealing first episode, Claudia Chan exposes the hidden cost of selflessness: how constantly proving your worth, chasing success, and showing up for everyone else can slowly erode your inner world.

At some stage in life, most people will be charged with caring for someone else. During a health crisis, caregivers, especially those with children, face intense demands on time and personal resources. If you are tasked with a caregiving role, prioritizing self-care is vital for your well-being and ability to provide care. If someone you love is a caregiver there are simple ways to support their journey including offering practical help and emotional understanding.To better understand self-support amidst selflessness, Harvesting Happiness Podcast Host Lisa Cypers Kamen interviews caregiver and author Sarah Cart.Sarah Cart shares the intimate details of her caregiving journey. Her book, On My Way Back to You: One Couple's Journey Through Catastrophic Illness to Healing and Hope, is a chronicle of the profound impact of illness on a relationship, resilience, and how she kept herself healthy during her family's health crisis.WANT MORE SOUND IDEAS FOR DEEPER THINKING?

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

In this episode, we explore the extraordinary life of Mary Slessor, a woman whose faith may have seemed like madness yet remains a powerful testament to selfless love and service. Born into hardship but driven by an unwavering faith, Mary left her homeland of Scotland in the 1800s to serve as a missionary in dangerous Nigeria. There she faced challenges many of us could only imagine. From her fierce opposition against the killing of twins to her leading during conflicts in Nigeria, Mary lived a life focused on eternal impact rather than temporary comfort.Join the two of us - Wendy Hickox and Tosha Williams - in reflecting on Mary's incredible story of selflessness. As we share Mary's experiences during our March MISSION Madness series, we invite you to consider how her legacy inspires you to embrace selflessness in Jesus' Name. Don't miss out on this insightful conversation—then dive into the accompanying devotion-driven-discipleship conversation guide based on this theme verse for Mary's life: "Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves, not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the others."

In this episode, host Jay Young engages with Sasha, author of 'Victims of Virtue', to explore the complexities of victim mentality, personal responsibility, and the societal narratives surrounding masculinity and gender ideology. They discuss Sasha's personal journey through trauma, the impact of school policies on self-defense, and the consequences of medical interventions for minors. The conversation emphasizes the importance of accountability and the dangers of a victimhood mentality in today's society. In this conversation, Sasha and Jey Young discuss critical issues surrounding parental rights, gender affirming care, abortion, adoption, and the societal implications of these topics. They explore the complexities of parental love, the impact of censorship, and the challenges of mental health in today's society. The dialogue emphasizes the importance of personal responsibility and accountability in navigating these contentious issues. Takeaways The conversation addresses sensitive topics that may be uncomfortable for some listeners. Sasha's book critiques the pervasive victim mentality in modern culture. Personal responsibility is crucial for overcoming adversity and trauma. Victimhood can be a choice that limits personal power and control. School policies often discourage self-defense, reinforcing victimhood. Toxic masculinity is often misunderstood and conflated with normal male behavior. Children lack the cognitive ability to understand long-term consequences of their choices. Medical interventions for minors raise ethical concerns regarding informed consent. The narrative of interchangeable genders contributes to societal misunderstandings. Healthy masculinity should be distinguished from harmful behaviors. Parents have limited control over children's access to gender affirming care. The conversation around abortion often overlooks the option of adoption. Many parents regret their decisions regarding abortion years later. The depth of parental love is often underestimated until one becomes a parent. Censorship plays a significant role in shaping societal narratives. Victim mentality can hinder personal accountability and growth. Mental health issues are often misdiagnosed due to self-diagnosis trends. The impact of COVID-19 on children's social skills is yet to be fully understood. There is a significant gap between children in foster care and families wanting to adopt. Societal pressures can lead to poor decision-making regarding family and parenting.
