Podcasts about Shame

In Day 191 of The Ways of the Righteous (Gate of Fear of Heaven), Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe explains that while human beings are given dominion over creation, that authority carries responsibility. Animals were created to serve mankind—not because they are unimportant, but because humanity possesses something infinitely greater: an eternal soul. We are commanded to treat animals with compassion and even feed them before ourselves, yet our unique role is to elevate creation through our relationship with Hashem.Rabbi Wolbe emphasizes the extraordinary greatness of the neshamah. Before birth, the soul exists in a realm of perfect spiritual clarity, but at birth it becomes enclosed within a physical body. The crying of a newborn symbolizes the soul's transition from unlimited closeness to Hashem into a world of confusion and physical limitations. Throughout life, the soul longs to return to that closeness, while the body constantly seeks physical gratification. Our task is to allow the soul—not the body—to direct our choices.Using the metaphor of a rider and a horse, Rabbi Wolbe teaches that the neshamah must hold the reins while the body serves merely as its vehicle. The body is necessary to perform mitzvot and acts of kindness, but it must remain subordinate to the soul's higher purpose. When the soul guides the body, every physical action becomes elevated into something eternal.The lesson also explores why Judaism teaches the future resurrection of the dead. Both the soul and the body contribute to a life of righteousness: the soul inspires holiness, while the body performs the mitzvot. Therefore, both ultimately share in the eternal reward when they are reunited in the World to Come.Finally, Rabbi Wolbe explains that the vast universe—the sun, moon, stars, and all of creation—exists not for the temporary body but for the eternal soul. Every aspect of creation is designed to inspire us to recognize Hashem's greatness and draw closer to Him. The purpose of enjoying this world is not indulgence but elevation: to use every blessing Hashem gives us as a means of strengthening our relationship with Him._____________This Podcast Series is Generously Underwritten by Peter & Becky BotvinRecorded at TORCH Centre in the Levin Family Studios (B) to a live audience on February 23, 2026, in Houston, Texas.Released as Podcast on August 14, 2026_____________This series on Orchos Tzadikim/Ways of the Righteous is produced in partnership with Hachzek.Join the revolution of daily Mussar study at hachzek.com.We are using the Treasure of Life edition of the Orchos Tzadikkim (Published by Feldheim)_____________Listen, Subscribe & Share: Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/jewish-inspiration-podcast-rabbi-aryeh-wolbe/id1476610783Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4r0KfjMzmCNQbiNaZBCSU7) to stay inspired! Share your questions at aw@torchweb.org or visit torchweb.org for more Torah content.  _____________About the Host:Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe, Director of TORCH in Houston, brings decades of Torah scholarship to guide listeners in applying Jewish wisdom to daily life.  To directly send your questions, comments, and feedback, please email: awolbe@torchweb.org_____________Support Our Mission:Our Mission is Connecting Jews & Judaism.

In Day 190 of The Ways of the Righteous (Gate of Fear of Heaven), Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe continues exploring the three dimensions of the human soul: the nefesh, ruach, and neshamah. While animals possess the drives of the nefesh and ruach, only human beings are endowed with the neshamah—the uniquely Divine intellect that enables us to discern truth from falsehood, develop wisdom, and elevate ourselves spiritually. Unlike the physical body, the wisdom acquired by the neshamah accompanies a person beyond this world.The central message of the lesson is that our lives are shaped by whichever part of ourselves we choose to nourish. Rabbi Wolbe compares the neshamah to a vacuum cleaner that is constantly searching to be filled. If we fail to satisfy it with holiness, Torah, mitzvot, and acts of kindness, it will desperately seek fulfillment elsewhere through material pursuits that can never truly satisfy. Wealth, pleasure, fame, and possessions may entertain the body, but only closeness to Hashem nourishes the soul.Rabbi Wolbe also explains that although the neshamah originates in the intellect, its goal is to transform the heart. The heart is the source of both positive and negative inclinations, and every person chooses which side to strengthen. By allowing the mind and the neshamah to guide the heart, a person redirects powerful emotions and desires toward holiness rather than selfish gratification. The same passion that can drive destructive behavior can also become the engine for tremendous righteousness.Finally, the lesson teaches that wisdom is the key to understanding both the physical and spiritual worlds. Torah enables a person to distinguish between what merely appears attractive and what genuinely brings eternal value. Every advancement, talent, and technology can be used either for holiness or for destruction. The responsibility lies with us to allow our neshamah to lead our choices so that, when we ultimately stand before Hashem, we can answer that we invested our lives in what truly mattered._____________This Podcast Series is Generously Underwritten by Peter & Becky BotvinRecorded at TORCH Centre in the Levin Family Studios (B) to a live audience on February 23, 2026, in Houston, Texas.Released as Podcast on August 13, 2026_____________This series on Orchos Tzadikim/Ways of the Righteous is produced in partnership with Hachzek.Join the revolution of daily Mussar study at hachzek.com.We are using the Treasure of Life edition of the Orchos Tzadikkim (Published by Feldheim)_____________Listen, Subscribe & Share: Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/jewish-inspiration-podcast-rabbi-aryeh-wolbe/id1476610783Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4r0KfjMzmCNQbiNaZBCSU7) to stay inspired! Share your questions at aw@torchweb.org or visit torchweb.org for more Torah content.  _____________About the Host:Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe, Director of TORCH in Houston, brings decades of Torah scholarship to guide listeners in applying Jewish wisdom to daily life.  To directly send your questions, comments, and feedback, please email: awolbe@torchweb.org_____________Support Our Mission:Our Mission is Connecting Jews & Judaism.

Send us Fan MailA “full panel” STI test sounds like peace of mind until you learn what it often leaves out. We sit down with Robert Johnson, founder of Shameless Care, to unpack the testing blind spots that can quietly miss infections, especially when oral exposure is part of your sex life. His turning point is painfully relatable: a partner flags possible gonorrhea, he feels totally fine, and he is staring at a negative result from the week before. The catch? No throat swab, no real clarity.We get specific about how STI testing actually works in the real world: why blood and urine alone may not be enough, why most STIs are asymptomatic, and why “full panel” is not a standardized button your doctor can click. Robert also explains how shame changes what people say in the exam room and how that can snowball into incomplete care. If you have ever walked out of a clinic thinking you were tested for “everything,” this conversation gives you better questions to ask and a clearer way to read your results.Then we zoom out into prevention and modern sexual health tools. We talk PrEP as an HIV prevention breakthrough, U equals U and what it means for transmission, and DoxyPEP as a promising option that also raises real concerns about antibiotic resistance. We also highlight vaccines like HPV and hepatitis B as practical, cancer-preventing steps that too many adults still miss.If you want smarter, shame-free sexual health information that you can actually use, listen now, share this with someone who dates, and leave a review so more people find it. What did your last STI test truly include?https://shamelesscare.com/https://youtu.be/e36gU87R-sU?si=dVsNUK8G9HcQSf7QPodcast: Sex Is Good https://www.buzzsprout.com/2505799 Support the show

In this episode of Soul Sense, Mark Verkler and Carolyn Dunegan explore the progression of addiction—from recreational use to problematic use, dependence, and addiction. Drawing from decades of experience in chemical dependency treatment, Carolyn explains how addiction affects relationships, identity, priorities, and spiritual life.They discuss denial, comparison, isolation, secrecy, withdrawal, and why recovery requires community, humility, honesty, and bringing what is hidden “into the light.” From a Christian perspective, they explore how addiction can become a stronghold that competes with relationships, community, and allegiance to God.The episode also offers practical guidance for anyone concerned about their own substance use or the addiction of someone they love.⏱️ TIMESTAMPS00:00 — Introduction01:29 — The Stages of Addiction03:32 — Recreational vs. Problematic Use06:23 — Emotional & Physical Dependence08:20 — Relational Consequences10:06 — How Addiction Changes Your Social Life12:44 — When the Substance Becomes a Relationship14:01 — Addiction as an Idol16:24 — The Double Life of Addiction18:18 — Why Functioning Doesn't Mean Healthy19:12 — Denial & Comparison22:12 — The Absence of Consequences Isn't Permission23:39 — The Later Stages of Addiction26:23 — Isolation & Addiction27:43 — Understanding Withdrawal29:08 — What Early Sobriety Feels Like30:19 — Why Community Matters31:06 — Why Therapy Alone May Not Be Enough32:19 — Secrecy, Shame & Control35:00 — Coming Into the Light35:27 — 1 John 1 & Walking in the Light36:20 — Honesty, Humility & Recovery40:14 — Isolation, Pride & Being Known41:20 — The Brutality of Addiction's End Stages43:11 — The First Step Toward Recovery45:06 — Next Episode: Addiction & the Family47:23 — Humility, Grace & Freedom48:08 — ClosingFor counseling and resources: samaritanswell.comFree Guide: Christian Emotional Health Guidehttps://samaritanswell.thinkific.com/products/digital_downloads/Christian-Emotional-Health-GuideConnect with Samaritan's Well:Instagram: @samaritanswellFacebook: @samaritanswelldallasLinkedIn: Samaritan's Well CounselingTikTok: @samaritanswellcounseling#SoulSense #AddictionRecovery #ChristianCounseling #Recovery #MentalHealth #FaithAndMentalHealth

Patreon is no ads and discounts for DopeyCon: www.patreon.com/dopeypodcast Episode summary Dave opens the Wednesday Dose of Dopey by responding to a listener who noticed he seemed a little off. He talks honestly about the pressure of producing five shows a week, his obsessive pursuit of Jason Mewes, the strange sadness that follows surrender, and what's coming together for DopeyCon. Then JD shares a terrifying story from his twenties: three sleepless days inside a Mississippi trailer with an ounce of cocaine, crack, beer, no food and almost no water. After a massive shot leaves him conscious but completely unable to move, his friend helps bring him back—only for JD to immediately smoke the biggest crack hit of his life. Dave remembers Annie Ellie and Brian “Hot Wheels” Connolly through comments from the Dopey Nation before welcoming back Jed Payne of Church & Other Drugs and Rehab Bromance. Approaching one year sober after years of concealed relapse, Jed talks about going from addiction counselor to treatment patient, sharing a room with former clients, working at a coffee shop with teenagers, and accepting the humiliation required to rebuild his life. He explains how CBD and “microdosing” became the beginning of his return to getting high, why clinicians in recovery need somewhere safe to struggle, and how easily helping addicts can replace doing your own recovery work. Then things get properly Dopey: Jed recalls shooting cocaine while a police officer stood beside the car, injecting a bright-blue ecstasy pill in a gas-station bathroom, boofing two more pills before work, rolling with his hands submerged in marinara sauce, and eventually passing out on the prep table. Jed and Dave also discuss 7-OH, smoke-shop opioids, Sublocade, coming off Suboxone, emotional recovery after relapse, staying present, and the small daily actions he is using to become a man of his word again. All that and STILL MORE on the newest Wednesday Dose of Dopey! Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Makenna Gibbons became part of one of Utah's most public scandals when the “Mormon swinging” story exploded online in 2022. Behind the viral headlines, Makenna was simultaneously dealing with infidelity, divorce, motherhood, public scrutiny, and the collapse of the life she knew.In this episode, Makenna sits down with Jimmy to tell her side of the story and, more importantly, share what happened after the headlines faded. She talks about the boundaries she wishes she had protected, how group dynamics and alcohol contributed to decisions she regrets, the painful process of rebuilding her identity, and what years of therapy taught her about accountability without shame.Makenna also opens up about rebuilding a healthy co-parenting relationship with her ex-husband, getting remarried, learning to trust herself again, and why she believes even the darkest seasons eventually end.This conversation is ultimately about what happens when your worst mistakes become public—and how you rebuild a life you're proud of afterward.Follow Makenna Gibbons: IG

What if the key to helping your teen make safer, more thoughtful choices around sex… wasn't control, silence, or fear? But connection, honesty, and real education? In this powerful and refreshingly honest conversation, Wendy's joined by sex educator Kimberly Wolf to talk about how we can guide our kids through one of the most misunderstood (and often avoided) topics in parenting, without shame, awkwardness, or panic. They dive into what kids are actually being exposed to these days (it's a lot), why avoiding the conversation can backfire in big ways, and how simple, everyday moments can become opportunities to build trust, safety, and confidence in your child. You'll learn why kids who receive clear, respectful, fact-based education are actually more likely to delay sexual activity, and how to become the safe place your child turns to when it matters most. This episode is honest, eye-opening, and incredibly empowering, no matter what your background or belief system is. ➡️ Head to ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.freshstartfamilyonline.com/334 ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ for more info and links.⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

Self-care isn't a spa day or a to-do list. In the HOCI model, it's one of the six core areas of healthy human functioning -- the ability to identify and tend to your own needs across four domains: physical, emotional, relational, and spiritual. In this episode we look at why self-care breaks down, what the value wound has to do with it, and why the cultural version of self-care leaves a lot of people -- especially men -- out entirely. If you've ever felt like tending to yourself was somehow selfish, this one's for you. IN THIS EPISODE The HOCI definition of self-care -- and why it's broader and more serious than the cultural version Why self-care breaks down: the value wound, codependence, and the belief that needs are selfish The four domains: physical, emotional, relational, and spiritual -- and what neglect in each one costs A direct conversation about men and self-care: what men are taught about needs, and what that costs them What self-care actually looks like for men -- practical and without the cultural baggage How self-care connects to all six HOCI principles Why giving from depletion isn't generosity -- it's a slow burn REFLECTION QUESTION In which of the four domains -- physical, emotional, relational, spiritual -- are you most depleted right now? And what is the story you tell yourself about why you don't have permission to tend to it?

Shame is one of the most powerful human emotions. It can quietly influence the choices we make, the relationships we create, the risks we take, and even the way we talk to ourselves when no one else is listening. Unlike guilt, which says "I did something wrong," shame can leave us feeling like "something is wrong with me." And that belief can become a heavy burden to carry.

I HAVE NO MOORING FOR YOUR WOUNDS TO LATCH ONTO Perhaps one of love's greatest tests arrives when your pain reaches for me and discovers that I will not become who your pain remembers. Human wounds rarely remain private. They enter relationships carrying expectations shaped by earlier experience. Abandonment may anticipate pursuit. Distrust may provoke interrogation. Fear may seek control. Shame may invite rescue. None of this means every wounded person behaves identically, nor that another person causes the wound. The deeper question concerns what happens between two people when an old expectation reaches outward and finds no cooperating response. Here lies the possibility of a different intimacy. I can care about your fear without obeying it. I can hear your accusation without manufacturing a defense merely because you expected one. Your distance can hurt without forcing me to chase you. Your anger can register in my body without becoming the author of my behavior. Compassion does not require psychological conscription.

In this lesson from the Gate of Fear of Heaven (Shaar Yirat Shamayim), Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe explores the deeper structure of the human soul through the concepts of nefesh, ruach, and neshamah. Drawing from the teachings of Orchot Tzaddikim, he explains that the nefesh is associated with physical desire, the ruach with emotion, honor, and ego, and the neshamah with the intellect and our highest spiritual aspirations. These three forces operate simultaneously within every person, creating the lifelong struggle between immediate physical gratification and the soul's desire for closeness to Hashem.Rabbi Wolbe emphasizes that reality extends far beyond what our physical eyes can perceive. Spiritual causes and consequences may exist even when they are hidden from us. Through a story involving a businessman who sought guidance from a Kabbalistic sage, he illustrates the Torah perspective that our spiritual choices can influence aspects of life in ways that are not visible on the surface. The broader lesson is that Judaism asks us to look beyond the purely material world and recognize that our actions affect both the physical and spiritual dimensions of existence.The lesson then focuses on the central battle between intellect and emotion. The heart may crave what feels pleasurable in the moment, even when the mind knows that the choice is harmful. Rabbi Wolbe uses the example of someone warned by a doctor to avoid unhealthy food who nevertheless places himself in a tempting environment and gradually rationalizes giving in. Spiritual maturity requires training the mind to govern the heart rather than allowing emotions and impulses to dictate our choices.Rabbi Wolbe concludes by describing life as an ongoing contest between the physical forces that pursue pleasure, wealth, honor, and comfort and the neshamah that continually asks a deeper question: What will bring me closer to Hashem? Whichever side we strengthen becomes more powerful. When physical desires dominate, spiritual sensitivity weakens. When the neshamah leads, humility, wisdom, and closeness to God flourish. The struggle itself is the purpose of life—and every choice gives us another opportunity to allow the highest part of ourselves to lead._____________This Podcast Series is Generously Underwritten by Peter & Becky BotvinRecorded at TORCH Centre in the Levin Family Studios (B) to a live audience on February 23, 2026, in Houston, Texas.Released as Podcast on August 12, 2026_____________This series on Orchos Tzadikim/Ways of the Righteous is produced in partnership with Hachzek.Join the revolution of daily Mussar study at hachzek.com.We are using the Treasure of Life edition of the Orchos Tzadikkim (Published by Feldheim)_____________Listen, Subscribe & Share: Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/jewish-inspiration-podcast-rabbi-aryeh-wolbe/id1476610783Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4r0KfjMzmCNQbiNaZBCSU7) to stay inspired! Share your questions at aw@torchweb.org or visit torchweb.org for more Torah content.  _____________About the Host:Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe, Director of TORCH in Houston, brings decades of Torah scholarship to guide listeners in applying Jewish wisdom to daily life.  To directly send your questions, comments, and feedback, please email: awolbe@torchweb.org_____________Support Our Mission:Our Mission is Connecting Jews & Judaism.

A senior's first solo drive, a dog with the cone of shame, and a wildly unnecessary amount of confidence in one man's horn-honking skills - JB and Sandy turn a morning show into a hilarious, oddly heartfelt ride.If you need a laugh, a little parent anxiety, and a reminder that some milestones hit harder than others, this one delivers. Sandy, JB, and Tricia trade stories about Sandy and Tricia's daughter Landry's first drive to school, the emotional spiral of senior year, and the kind of dad behavior that kicks in when your daughter suddenly needs car washes, gas, and emotional support on demand.You'll also hear the trio go off on everything from a classic Napoleon Dynamite Letterman clip to Boerne Little League's path to the Little League World Series, including the age controversy that sent the whole thing to court. And if you're into pop-culture moments, there is a fun detour into surprise celebrity appearances, from Ella Langley in St. Thomas to artists like Train and Bon Jovi showing up unannounced to sing with fans.Then Sandy reveals the behind-the-scenes obsession that's got everyone teasing him: vibe coding and AI automation. He explains how he's using AI to build practical tools, like organizing photos and automating everyday tasks, while JB and Tricia roast him for sounding a little too much like a coder with no coding background at all. Perfect for listeners who love local radio chemistry, funny family stories, and a few genuinely useful takeaways buried inside the chaos. It is smart, silly, and full of the kind of banter that makes you feel like you're hanging out in the room.

Have you ever wondered why your porn cravings can feel so intensely sexual—even when you just had sex, genuinely want to quit porn, or know that acting on the craving will hurt you?One of the most important things I've learned in porn addiction recovery is that many cravings aren't really about sex at all.They're emotional.Pressure. Loneliness. Shame. Fear. Inadequacy. Sadness. Anger. Disconnection. Sometimes what my brain labels as “I need porn” is actually an emotional or relational need that I haven't learned how to recognize, feel, and respond to yet.In this episode, I'm diving deep into the connection between porn cravings, emotional triggers, and emotional regulation—and why learning to work with your emotions can become one of the most powerful tools for overcoming pornography addiction.I'll also walk you through the principles behind The RAIL Method™, the emotional mindfulness process I use to help men stop treating cravings and painful emotions like enemies and begin responding to them with acceptance, compassion, and leadership.Because recovery isn't just learning how to resist an urge.It's learning how to understand what that urge is trying to tell you.One of the central ideas I want you to walk away with is this:Your cravings are signals, not commands.You don't have to blindly obey them, and you don't have to hate them either.You can learn to slow down, become present, understand what is happening inside of you, and choose a response that actually serves the man you're becoming.Practice Emotional Mindfulness With UsDuring the month of August, the No More Desire Brotherhood is practicing emotional mindfulness together through our monthly challenge.

Shame might be the silent architect behind our biggest relationship struggles—fueling secrecy, driving distance, and making genuine intimacy feel just out of reach. When the fear of rejection or not being enough sneaks in, it often keeps us locked in painful cycles of criticism, defensiveness, and disconnect. But what if the way we react to shame is the very thing sabotaging our deepest connections? In this episode, the discussion dives into how shame operates beneath the surface of issues like betrayal, addiction, and disconnection, and offers concrete strategies for transforming these patterns. Through personal stories, therapeutic insights, and powerful principles such as courage, context, and compassion, listeners are guided in breaking free from shame's grip. The conversation also explores practical ways to practice vulnerability, build safety, and foster more authentic connections—both with ourselves and our partners. Brannon Patrick, LCSW, and Tyler Patrick, LMFT, are brothers and licensed clinicians who help individuals and couples heal after infidelity, addiction, and the trust rupture that follows. With 20+ years each in addiction and trauma work, they bring both depth and straight talk, translating complex psychology into practical next steps people can use immediately. Together, they host The Therapy Brothers, a weekly call-in show where real people work through betrayal, shame, trauma, and addiction in real time, with over 500 episodes and nearly 2 million downloads. Their approach centers on heart work: healing the underlying trauma and shame so couples can rebuild trust with honesty, accountability, empathy, and healthy strength.   Episode Highlights 03:25 Overcoming betrayal and rebuilding trust. 07:34 Authenticity vs connection in relationships. 12:17 Shame's hidden impact on self-image. 15:35 Using IFS to overcome shame. 18:39 Choosing love and self-awareness. 21:10 Navigating shame's impact on relationships. 24:13 Navigating vulnerability in relationships. 28:28 Embracing compassion over self-criticism. 31:52 Exploring EFT and emotional connectivity. 34:48 Recovering trust after betrayal. 36:45 The trust equation and lasting love. 41:54 Beginning your healing journey.   Your Checklist of Actions to Take Practice Courage: Begin sharing your personal story and feelings with people you trust, focusing on authenticity and vulnerability. Build Context: Remind yourself you are not alone in your struggles; seek out others with similar experiences to normalize your feelings and reduce shame. Cultivate Compassion: Replace self-criticism with curiosity and kindness; when you notice a harsh inner voice, intentionally respond with understanding instead. Separate Your Parts: Use parts work or Internal Family Systems (IFS) to identify shame-driven and protective parts within yourself, then approach them with gratitude rather than rejection. Join a Support Group: Find or create safe spaces such as group therapy or support circles where you can practice vulnerability and receive nonjudgmental feedback. Create Boundaries: Establish healthy internal and external boundaries so you can engage with others' emotions without absorbing attacks or losing your sense of self. Get Professional Help: Explore modalities such as IFS, EMDR, ART, or DBT to address entrenched patterns and trauma that reinforce shame. Work on Relationship Recovery: If healing from betrayal, prioritize establishing safety and consistency, then focus on individual growth alongside nurturing relationship trust and intimacy.   Mentioned The Therapy Brothers (podcast) Shifting Criticism For Connected Communication (free relationship guide)   Connect with Tyler and Brannon Patrick Website: therapybrothers.org YouTube: youtube.com/@lovestrong | youtube.com/@therapy.brothers  Facebook: facebook.com/love.strong.org | facebook.com/ExpertBrannon  Instagram: instagram.com/therapy.brothers/ | instagram.com/sunrisegoal LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/brannon-patrick/ | linkedin.com/in/tyler-patrick-lmft-24488366/ | linkedin.com/in/chase-jones-b63368128  

In this powerful and vulnerable conversation, renowned singer, songwriter, worship artist, and author, Christine D’Clario, opens up about her battle with postpartum depression, suicidal thoughts, and the stigma surrounding mental health, particularly within Latin American culture and the Church. Christine shares what her darkest seasons taught her about faith, asking for help, and finding hope when God feels distant. We also dive into her newest book, Healing in the Desert: Finding Your Voice on the Journey from Brokenness to Freedom, and the powerful reminder that our deserts don’t have to be the end of our story…they can become the places where God restores our voice, heals our wounds, and leads us toward freedom.

In this lesson from the Gate of Fear of Heaven (Shaar Yirat Shamayim), Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe continues the powerful parable of the royal soul. The human neshamah is compared to the daughter of a king—pure, precious, and lofty—yet placed inside a physical body filled with earthly desires. The body wants comfort, food, pleasure, materialism, and immediate gratification, while the soul longs for holiness and closeness to Hashem. This tension between body and soul is not a defect in creation; it is the very arena in which human greatness is achieved.Rabbi Wolbe explains that our mission is not to reject the physical world, but to elevate it. Physical experiences can become extraordinarily holy when directed properly. He illustrates this through marriage and intimacy: what the outside world may treat as merely physical can, within the sanctity of a Jewish marriage, become one of the holiest expressions of Divine service. Torah awakens the soul to remember its royalty and teaches us not to “sell ourselves cheaply” by living beneath our spiritual dignity.The lesson then turns to the unique privilege and responsibility of the Jewish people. Hashem gave us Torah and mitzvos as the means through which we recognize His greatness, develop Yirat Shamayim, and draw closer to Him. Looking at the heavens, the earth, the sun, moon, and stars can awaken awareness of the Creator—but Torah gives that awareness clarity and direction. Through learning and mitzvah observance, we begin to understand not only that Hashem exists, but what He wants from us.Rabbi Wolbe concludes by describing Yirat Shamayim as Hashem's greatest treasure. Gold, silver, possessions, and worldly success cannot compare to the clarity of knowing our relationship with God. The more we invest in Torah, mitzvos, and Hashem's wisdom, the more we awaken the royal soul within and recognize how privileged we are to live in a personal relationship with the Creator._____________This Podcast Series is Generously Underwritten by Peter & Becky BotvinRecorded at TORCH Centre in the Levin Family Studios (B) to a live audience on February 16, 2026, in Houston, Texas.Released as Podcast on August 11, 2026_____________This series on Orchos Tzadikim/Ways of the Righteous is produced in partnership with Hachzek.Join the revolution of daily Mussar study at hachzek.com.We are using the Treasure of Life edition of the Orchos Tzadikkim (Published by Feldheim)_____________Listen, Subscribe & Share: Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/jewish-inspiration-podcast-rabbi-aryeh-wolbe/id1476610783Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4r0KfjMzmCNQbiNaZBCSU7) to stay inspired! Share your questions at aw@torchweb.org or visit torchweb.org for more Torah content.  _____________About the Host:Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe, Director of TORCH in Houston, brings decades of Torah scholarship to guide listeners in applying Jewish wisdom to daily life.  To directly send your questions, comments, and feedback, please email: awolbe@torchweb.org_____________Support Our Mission:Our Mission is Connecting Jews & Judaism.

According to the NeuroAffective Relational Model, chronic shame isn't an emotion, it's actually a strategy. Stephan K. Niederwieser is the co-author of the new book Healing Shame and Guilt.Shame tells us something is wrong with who we are, while guilt tells us something was wrong with what we did. In this brief episode, Luciana Baicea and Adrian Dinu talk with Stephan Niederwieser about why neither one behaves like an emotion: emotions come, tell us something and pass, while shame settles in and stays. He also explains what shame did FOR us: it helped us disconnect from needs, anger and grief that once felt too dangerous to have.Stephan Niederwieser has been in private practice in Berlin since the late 1980s. He initially trained in Hakomi and Somatic Experiencing before moving to the NeuroAffective Relational Model (NARM), which he now teaches internationally. He is the co-author, alongside Laurence Heller, PhD, of Healing Shame and Guilt, recently published in Romanian by Editura Herald.In this episode we briefly explored:Why "toxic shame" is the wrong term, and what "chronic" points to insteadThe five core developmental needs (connection, attunement, trust, autonomy, love and sexuality) and the survival styles that appear when they are not metShame-based identification and its opposite - pride-based counter-identificationDepression as anger that has been pushed down rather than feltWhether an AI companion can offer connection without rupture and repairThe difference between being loved and being admiredResources mentioned in the conversation:Book: Healing Shame and Guilt by Laurence Heller, PhD & Stephan K.

When we come to know Jesus as Savior, the Holy Spirit begins a transforming work in us. The change is complete, but learning to believe and live in the truth of who we are in Christ can take time. My guest, Jason Castleberry, experienced this transformation firsthand. After military service left him carrying deep shame, PTSD, depression, and regret, Jason could have remained trapped in isolation and despair. Instead, God pursued him, rescued him, and began bringing him back to life. In this second episode, Jason shares the dramatic difference Jesus has made in his life. The heaviness and despair that once defined his days gave way to hope, joy, purpose, and freedom. His own healing awakened a desire to tell others what Jesus can do when life feels impossibly dark, eventually leading him into pastoral ministry. Jason's story is a powerful picture of Colossians 1:13 and a reminder that God can rescue us from darkness and bring us into the freedom and hope found in Christ.

Deception comes first. Disobedience comes next. In Part 4 of Return to Eden, Bishop unpacks the story of Adam and Eve and reveals how temptation moves from seeing it → desiring it → taking it → becoming bound by it. Your “when” matters. The wrong timing can make the wrong thing look right. But God always provides a way of escape. And where shame says “hide,” Jesus says “come.” It's time to stop flirting with the fire, recognize the warning signs, and step out of hiding.

Radical acceptance means you stop expecting them to change, ever. It is not approval and it is not surrender, it is how you stop waiting and finally get your peace back.In this video, trauma recovery and relationship coach Kenny Weiss explains how to practice radical acceptance with a partner, parent, or difficult family member who will never change, why the arguments you keep losing are reality arguments, and the exact words that let you hold on to your reality without arguing, defending, or convincing.Kenny walks you through his three proprietary frameworks: the Worst Day Cycle™ (Trauma, Fear, Shame, Denial), the Authentic Self Cycle™ (Truth, Responsibility, Healing, Forgiveness), and the six steps of the Emotional Authenticity Method™, including Feelization, the step that rewires the emotional blueprint at the root instead of managing symptoms.Radical acceptance is not approval and not surrender. Kenny Weiss teaches that it is releasing the demand that another person change, because demanding someone be who they are not is a denial of reality, not love. The waiting itself sends an unspoken message: I will not accept you for who you are.A reality argument is when two people look at the same thing but see it differently. Kenny Weiss teaches that neither person is right or wrong, and that demanding someone accept your reality makes your internal peace depend on them, which is the definition of codependence.Kenny Weiss's radical acceptance process starts with the pink elephant test: if an accusation lands far from your truth, you don't argue or defend. You respond with, I hear what you are saying, but my reality is different.Kenny Weiss is a relationship, communication, and childhood trauma recovery specialist, author of Your Journey to Success and Your Journey to Being Yourself, and creator of the Worst Day Cycle™, Authentic Self Cycle™, and Emotional Authenticity Method™. He helps high-functioning, emotionally exhausted adults break the repeating emotional patterns that therapy, mindset work, and communication tools never touched.TOPICS COVERED: radical acceptance, how to practice radical acceptance, accepting someone who won't change, accepting a difficult family member, reality arguments, letting go of expectations in relationships, stop trying to change your partner, codependency, boundaries, emotional blueprint, survival persona, grieving the relationship you wanted, pink elephant test, Worst Day Cycle, Authentic Self Cycle, Emotional Authenticity Method, Kenny WeissTIMESTAMPS:0:00 — Waiting for Them to Finally Change1:00 — My Ten-Year Lesson: The Rattlesnake and the Puppy2:50 — The Reality Argument: Arguing Over the Color of the Wall5:15 — Why Demanding They Change Is Codependence7:30 — The Real Reason We Keep Waiting9:00 — Where the Fantasy Was Born: The Worst Day Cycle™11:45 — What Radical Acceptance Requires: The Authentic Self Cycle™14:00 — The Six Steps of Emotional Authenticity17:00 — The Pink Elephant Test: My Reality Is Different19:15 — You Are the One You Have Been Waiting For

The newest stadiums may cost billions, but the classics still win. Shaun Morash is in for Evan Roberts alongside Tiki Barber as Connor Green ranks the Rose Bowl, Wrigley Field, Fenway Park, Lambeau Field and even the Roman Colosseum among sports' best venues, sparking a debate over why old-school stadiums still have more character than their modern replacements. The conversation turns to MetLife Stadium, American Dream and the complications of maintaining a grass field at a venue packed with concerts and other events. Then a Jets caller predicts nine wins, but Shaun pushes back on the idea that the offense is set with Geno Smith at quarterback.

You Are Not Who You Used to Be | Breaking Free From Shame and Old HabitsYou do not have to be perfect. There is no perfect person breathing.That's where Norense starts this episode — and it's a message for anyone who has been hard on themselves for slipping, falling back into old habits, and then hiding in shame instead of running back to God.Recorded from his Brooklyn apartment after a long day in the Word, Norense breaks down one of the most important distinctions in the Christian walk: the difference between condemnation and conviction. Condemnation drags you backward into bondage and ties your identity to what you did wrong. Conviction draws you forward toward repentance and reminds you who you actually are in Christ.This one is raw, scripture-heavy, and honest — a reminder that being a new creation doesn't mean the old appetites disappear overnight. It means you renew your mind daily, one day at a time, and let the Holy Spirit do the work you were never meant to do on your own.In this episode:The critical difference between condemnation (backward to bondage) and conviction (forward to repentance)Why falling back into old patterns doesn't make you who you used to beWhat it means to be a "new creation" — and why the old man still leaves behind thoughts, appetites, and impulses to surrenderThe "HALT" principle — how being Hungry, Angry, Lonely, or Tired lowers your defensesA walk through 1 John 1 and Hebrews 10 — grace is real, but it's not a license to do whatever you wantWhy nothing external — money, sex, titles, achievement — ever actually satisfies the deeper cravingWhy "man shall not live by bread alone" reframes Maslow's hierarchy entirelyHonest, unfiltered thoughts on identity, culture, and why the real battle is spiritual, not surface-levelKey Truth: "Condemnation condemns you backward to bondage and identifies you with what you did wrong. Conviction convicts you toward repentance and your real identity in Christ."Key Verse: Romans 8:1 — There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.If this episode hit you:Rate and review the Mind Bully Podcast — it helps this message reach more homes and hearts, one thought at a time.

Shame  and being set free from shame is such a hot topic, in both Christian and secular circles. Resources abound, but what does the Bible actually say? As we completed a biblical survey on shame, we were surprised at how much the Bible had to say on this topic! Listen in as we share key biblical principles that are necessary in order to deal with the universal emotion of shame. Biblical Survey on Shame: I. Genesis 2-3- Naked and unashamed… No sin, nothing to hide from one another or God, perfect unity in relationships, acceptance of one another. After sinning, they hid and covered themselves and were afraid… shame leads to fear, hiding parts of ourselves, isolation, and disconnection. Shame came when sin entered the world.  Now, there are two general sources of shame- directly from personal and/or corporate sin, or indirectly due to the brokenness in the world.  There are also biblical examples of people trying to make others feel ashamed for things they shouldn't feel ashamed of, such as barrenness. So there is appropriate shame and inappropriate shame.  II. Appropriate shame due to sinful behavior in Proverbs and prophets:Proverbs: There are ways of foolish or sinful living, such as dishonesty, gluttony, and laziness, that are shameful, that bring shame on oneself and one's parents or spouse. -Prov 10:5 -Prov 12:4 -Prov 13:5 -Prov 17:2 -Prov 18:13 -Prov 19:26 -Prov 28:7 -Prov 29:15Sexual sin/misconduct is especially shameful: -Lev. 20:17 -2 Sam. 13:12-13 -Matt. 1:19 -Rom. 1:27Isaiah: A life of rejecting God and worshipping idols is the most shameful life. Idolatry always leads to shame and disappointment. -Is 30:3-5 -Is 41:8, 10, 11 -Is 42:9-11 -Is 42:17 -Is 45:16-17, 19, 24-25 -Is 49 -Is 50:6-9 -Is 51:7, 12-13 -Is 61:7 Sometimes shame is due to both sin and resulting defeat from enemies and/or God's judgment: -Ezra 8:22 -Ezra 9:6-7 -Neh. 1:3 -Daniel 9:7 III. Shame not directly due to personal sin, but due to perceived failure, deficiency, or defeat:Barrenness was considered shameful by society: -Gen. 30:23 -1 Sam. 1:6 -Luke 1:6 Being defeated by enemies feels shameful: -1 Sam. 17:26 -2 Sam. 10:5 / 1 Chron. 19:5 -2 Kings 18 -2 Chron. 32:21 2 Sam. 19:3, 5-Shame due to disapproval from others, but not necessarily personal sin.Sometimes shame is a result of seeing others' devotion and our lack of devotion (comparison): 2 Chron. 30:15 Now let's see how God responds. IV. When shame is an appropriate response to sin and a part of true confession and repentance, God is always ready to receive His children, welcome them into His Presence, replace their shame with gladness, and heal their faithlessness.  -Jer. 3:19-25; 4:2, 4, 14 -Jer. 31V. When people continue in shameless sin, pride, and idolatry, God shames and judges them. In the book of Jeremiah, God's people are persisting in unrepentant idolatry, defiling God's places of worship with idolatry, and prophets are lying to the people in the name of God. God warns His people many times, but they are stiff-necked, stubborn, and unashamed of their idolatry. “They do not know how to blush.” God shames Israel and sends judgment upon them- for their unrepentant idolatry, for changing their glory (God) for that which does not profit (false gods), which is appalling, evil, and bitter. But God's heart is ALWAYS that His judgment (and shaming words) would lead to them feeling a proper shame over their sin, confess, turn back to God, and be restored. He remains ready to receive them, heal them, and turn their shame into joy. God's judgment of Israel's shameless idolatry and refusal to repent in Jeremiah:-Jer. 2:11-13, 26, 36-Jer. 5:3, 30, 31; 6:13-15-Jer. 6:13-20-Jer. 7:18-20 -Jer. 8:5-6, 9-Jer. 10:14-16-Jer. 11:12-15-Jer. 13:24-27-Jer. 17:13-Jer. 23:40 The book of Jeremiah ends with God's judgment on foreign nations and Israel's enemies who rejected God and continued in shameless sin, pride, and idolatry (Jer. 46-51). Their sin and idolatry led to their shame, disappointment, and God's judgment. This is the fulfillment of God's promise that His enemies would be ultimately shamed, and His people would be ultimately honored.  Jer. 46:12, 24 Jer. 51:17, 47-53 Ezekiel, Hosea, Joel, Obadiah, Micah, Nahum, Habakkuk, Zephaniah, and Zechariah all continue the theme of unrepentant idolatry leading to shame and God's judgment, and when repentant, to restoration with God.  Ez. 7:18; Ez. 16:61, 63; Ez. 32:24, 25, 30 Ez. 39:25-26 Ez. 43:10-11 Ez. 44:10-13 -Hosea 2:5; Hos. 4:7, 18; Hos. 9:10; Hos. 10:6. NT examples of God shaming prideful, unrepentant, shameless people: -Luke 13:16-17 -1 Cor. 1:27 -Rev. 3:18 VI. God promises not to let His people be put to shame (be ultimately defeated, ridiculed, or proven wrong), but to in the end to defend them, give them justice, honor, and eternal life. God's enemies will ultimately be put to shame. -Psalm 25:2-3, 20 -Psalm 34 -Psalm 71:1, 13, 24 -Ps 97:7 -Daniel 12:2 -Rom. 5:3-5 -Rom. 9:33 -Rom. 10:11 -Phil. 1:20 -Heb. 11:16 -1 Peter 2:6-7 VII. Jesus was shamefully treated (ridiculed, mocked, considered a failure, embarrassed, dishonored)- by others and b/c of our sin- in our place on the cross. On the cross he took not only our sin, but also the accompanying shame, for us. On the cross, he defeated Satan and all his enemies, putting them to shame. -Psalm 22 -Isaiah 53 -Luke 18:32 -Heb. 12:2 -Col. 2:15 -Rom. 8:1VIII. Jesus-followers are commanded by Jesus to follow Him and not be ashamed of Him, the gospel, or suffering for the gospel, at all cost. -Jeremiah warned the people of judgment for their sin and idolatry, in the face of persecution and rejection (and feeling shamed), and trusted God to ultimately honor him and shame the people.-Jer. 17:  -Jer. 20:11, 18-  -Jer. 37-38- -Mark 8:38; Luke 9:26 -Rom. 1:16 -1 Thess. 2:2- -2 Tim. 1:8, 12 -2 Tim. 1:16 -1 Peter 4:16 -Heb. 2:11 IX. Believers have been set free from sinful lifestyles that lead to shame, unfruitfulness, and death. Believers should live honorable lifestyles that will not put them to shame, but that results in fruit, sanctification, and eternal life, and puts their opponents to shame. -Rom. 6:21-22 -Phil. 3:19 -2 Tim. 2:15 -Titus 2:8 -1 Peter 3:16  -1 Peter 5:2 -Jesus taught His followers to purposefully humble themselves, take lower positions, and allow other people to exalt us, instead of exalting ourselves, which could lead to shame (embarrassment). Luke 14:9. -Believers can be put to shame by other believers' behavior. 2 Cor. 7:14. X. Sometimes believers need to rebuke one another for doing shameful things. -1 Cor. 6:5 -1 Cor. 14:35 -1 Cor. 15:34 -Eph. 5:12 -2 Thess. 3:14 -Titus 1:11 -We also can call out and rebuke others' sin without shaming them. 1 Cor. 4:14. XI. Sometimes, people “shame” others in order to express their anger, contempt, or criticism, and when it is unfair, we can refuse to be ashamed. -1 Sam. 20:30, 34 -2 Sam. 6:20-22 -Job's friends tried to shame him many times: 6:20; Job 8:22. Job 10:15 Job 11:3; Job 19:3In the face of unfair criticism, Paul defended his ministry and refused to be ashamed: 2 Cor. 10:8; 2 Cor. 11:21

Send us Fan MailWhat if the disrespect you experience—or the disrespect you sometimes give—has less to do with the moment and more to do with something happening underneath?In this thought-provoking episode of Self Reflection Podcast, host Lira Ndifon explores The 11 Behaviors of Disrespect by DB Bedford and takes a deeper look at what disrespect can reveal about our emotional world.Rudeness. Interrupting. Condescension. Dismissiveness.On the surface, these behaviors can seem like simple acts of poor character or bad manners. But what happens when we pause before reacting and ask a different question: What is really driving this behavior?Lira explores how behaviors such as rudeness and condescension can sometimes function as emotional defenses—ways of protecting insecurity, shame, fear of rejection, or feelings of inadequacy. Someone who appears overly confident or superior may actually be struggling with a deep fear of not being enough.That doesn't make disrespect acceptable. But understanding the root can change how we respond to it—and how we understand ourselves.The conversation goes deeper into the connection between childhood experiences, emotional wounds, societal conditioning, and the ways these experiences can shape how we communicate and relate to others. When unresolved wounds influence our behavior, we can unknowingly repeat patterns that hurt ourselves and the people around us.At the heart of this conversation is self-reflection.Instead of only asking, “Why did they treat me this way?”, we are invited to also ask:“What is this behavior revealing?”“What wound might be underneath it?”“What am I carrying that still needs healing?”Lira emphasizes the importance of developing internal validation and self-worth rather than constantly seeking confirmation from others. Real growth begins when we become willing to examine our emotional patterns, recognize our wounds, and take responsibility for the healing that follows.This episode is ultimately an invitation to look beneath the behavior—to understand without excusing, to reflect without judging, and to begin breaking patterns that no longer serve us.Because sometimes the behavior we see is only the surface.The real story is underneath.

Around 40, I realized I felt disgust about my own genitals. I'd been carrying middle school bullies' words about female bodies in my head for more than thirty years without ever once questioning them, and it wasn't until I started trying to reclaim my own sexuality that it smacked me in the face. It's very hard to feel pleasure in a part of your body you feel bad about.If any of that lands, you are in extremely good company, and I want you to know it is not personal, not yours alone, and not permanent.This episode covers where female genital shame comes from, why it's more layered than penis shame, and the exact four-step process I used to repair my own relationship with my vulva. Plus the myths worth dismantling on the way: that vulvas are dirty, that porn vulvas resemble real ones, and that "vagina" is the right word for the parts that actually give you pleasure.A scope note: this episode addresses cis women's experience specifically. Trans people with vulvas face distinct and important challenges with genital shame that deserve dedicated coverage, and I'm working with a trans colleague on a collaborative episode on that.In this episode:Where vulva shame comes from, and the strange contradiction at the center of it — women are the only sex with an organ that exists purely for our own pleasureWhy middle school is so often where genital shame gets installed, and what's actually going on for the boys doing the installingThe dirty myth, and why calling a vulva dirty makes about as much sense as calling a flower dirtyWhy porn vulvas aren't real-world vulvas, and how to normalize the actual rangeVulva versus vagina, why the distinction matters for your pleasure, and how to pick language that works for youMy four-step repair process: acknowledging the harm, normalizing through exposure, mirror work, and a daily gratitude practiceThe eviction exercise — identifying whose voice is actually in your head, and taking away their voteThere is no downside to loving your genitals. None. And on the other side of that shame is considerably more pleasure than you currently have access to.Topics: vulva shame, genital shame, body shame, female anatomy, vulva vs vagina, labia, porn myths, sexual shame, somatic sex coach, feminist sex coach, women's pleasure, intimacy coach AshevilleResource Links: https://www.labialibrary.org.au/labia_gallery/  https://www.all-vulvas-are-beautiful.com/https://www.thevulvagallery.comSend Laura Fan MailGet my free guide: Get Out of Your Head: A Starter Guide to Releasing the Pressure, Shame, and "Shoulds" Around Intimacy at https://laurajurgens.com/guideMore links: Substack at https://laurajurgens.substack.com/Wheel of Erotic emotions, go to: https://laurajurgens.com/wheelCopyright notice: All content in this podcast is copyrighted and copying, scraping, data mining, or using the content to train AI is prohibited.

The Swimsuit I Couldn't Put OnThere are moments in motherhood that seem ordinary on the surface—but quietly carry years of shame.For many mothers in eating disorder recovery, putting on a swimsuit isn't just about what they're wearing. It's about visibility, vulnerability, and the fear that their body will become the center of the day.In this episode, we're talking about what shame can quietly steal from us—not because we don't love our children, but because shame has a way of convincing us that hiding is safer than being seen.Together, we'll explore how recovery isn't about learning to love every part of your body before you live your life. It's about gently choosing presence, even when shame is still whispering.If you've ever found yourself sitting on the edge of the bed wondering whether you could avoid the beach, the pool, or the family outing altogether, this conversation is for you.In this episode, we'll explore:Why the swimsuit is rarely just about the swimsuitHow body shame quietly steals presence in motherhoodWhy your children need you, not a perfect bodyA gentle invitation to choose one moment of presence this summerYou're not alone on your journey.

Mike marvels at the beauty of Isaiah 53, which reveals that Jesus is the Lord's suffering servant and also zeroes in on Ezekiel 15, which reminds us that without God we are like a useless vine that bears no fruit.
