SOLITUDE & PRAYERIn these verses from Mark 1:29-38, we see Jesus exemplifying the importance of solitude and prayer in His own life. After a busy day of ministry and healing, Jesus sought out a deserted place to spend time in communion with His Father.

Introverts – rejoice! There is a spiritual discipline just for you. Technically it is for everyone and might even be more beneficial for extroverts. Regardless, tune in today as the guys walk through the spiritual discipline of solitude to see how getting away from it all can open up our communication with God.

In this episode of Filmmaker Mixer, we sit down with La Tina—the acclaimed Colombian sound collective made up of Andrés Silva Díaz, Alejandro Uribe-Holguín, and Manuel José Gordillo. Together, they form the sonic force behind Netflix's ambitious adaptation of One Hundred Years of Solitude, based on the novel by Gabriel García Márquez. We explore their creative process, the cultural and technical challenges of bringing the world of Macondo to life through sound, and how their work pays tribute to the magical realism of Márquez's masterpiece. From atmospheric design to emotional texture, this is an immersive conversation about sound as storytelling.

We live in a time when we're more connected than ever, and yet simultaneously more disconnected than ever. We have the world at our fingertips, yet somehow many of us feel like we don't belong anywhere. This experience of longing can lead to a deep sense of loneliness. A loneliness that can be felt by anyone, at any age, even when surrounded by people. To combat this longing, we must learn how to engage in meaningful solitude, an experience of being alone without feeling lonely. We must reclaim lost parts of ourselves, the parts we've abandoned in modern life; such as, meaningful rites of passage, our connection to nature, and our sense of belonging to the land. As we travel through the lush woods, ponder your deepest longing and the ways you might return to yourself. What am I reading?I'm Mostly Here to Enjoy MyselfOne Woman's Pursuit of Pleasure in Paris by Glynis MacNicolhttps://bookshop.org/a/111301/9780593655757Root and Ritual: Timeless Ways to Connect to Land, Lineage, Community, and the Self by Becca Piastrellihttps://bookshop.org/a/111301/9781683647720https://bookshop.org/shop/witchywomanwalkingWhat's playing on repeat?Royal Oil by the Mighty Mighty Bosstones What's for dinner?Sausage, Potato, & Asparagus CasseroleIngredients:1 lb sausage of your choice, sliced4 medium potatoes, peeled and cut into bite-size pieces1 cup asparagus, ends removed and cut into 1-inch sections1 small yellow onion, finely diced2 cloves garlic, minced2 tablespoons sun-dried tomatoes1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded1 cup chicken or vegetable broth2 tablespoons olive oil1 teaspoon dried thymeSalt and Pepper, to seasonTop with fresh parsley, thyme, or dill Instructions:Preheat oven to 375°F.Dice potatoes, onions, garlic, sun dried-tomatoes, sausage, and asparagus. Layer potatoes and veggies in an oiled casserole dish, pour stock, and top with sausages.Cover with foil, bake 40 minutes for Uncover, too with cheese, bake 10 more minutes for a golden crust.Avocado Mint Chip Ice CreamIngredients:4 sm avocados or 2 lg avocados1/2 cup maple syrup1 can full fat coconut milk1/2 teaspoon mint extract1/2 cup chocolate chips Instructions:In a blender combine all ingredients (except chocolate chips) until smooth.

In this episode of Shark Theory, host Baylor Barbee delves into the pervasive nature of noise in our lives and its impact on our mental clarity and personal growth. He reflects on the importance of quiet moments, away from the hustle and bustle of daily life, and emphasizes the significance of defining one's ideal peaceful environment for optimal personal and professional development. Explore how finding one's "ideal quiet" can be transformative. In today's fast-paced world, distinguishing between the beneficial and detrimental types of noise is crucial. Barbee encourages listeners to consciously seek peace and cultivate an environment conducive to reflection and clarity. As someone not fond of the relentless noise of the city or even loud social environments, he shares his journey toward discovering the calming effect of nature and solitude, urging others to find what quiet means to them. His insights reveal how inner peace and confidence silence the negative voices that often lead to self-doubt and anxiety, echoing the themes in his book "No One Prays for the Lion." Listeners are invited to consider how they can create a quiet in their minds by fostering self-confidence and solving problems, both personally and professionally. He underscores the value of becoming a person who can ease concerns and create a calming influence around them. Tune in for valuable advice on achieving peace and confidence, and learn more about Baylor's strategies for personal growth. Key Takeaways: Noise is omnipresent in our lives, but true growth happens in moments of quiet. Discovering your ideal peaceful environment is essential to mental clarity and personal development. Solitude and nature can provide a richer sense of peace compared to urban noise. Building confidence is key to silencing the inner voices of doubt and achieving mental quietude. Your ability to solve problems and create quiet for others is a key attribute for personal success. Notable Quotes: "True growth happens in the quiet." "What is your ideal quiet? What is your ideal peace?" "You have to be very intentional about creating the moments in your life that bring you peace." "The more confident you are in your ability to excel in any given situation, the quieter those voices become." "Be somebody that solves problems, that creates quiet around you because you know how to find it and how to build it in yourself and others."

“If you cannot sit with yourself, the world cannot give you peace.”   What if being alone wasn't something to fear,  but a sacred invitation to return home to yourself? In today's episode of Soul Talk, I speak on a topic that most of us avoid: solitude. But I'm not talking about isolation. I'm talking about the kind of aloneness that strips away the noise, dissolves false identities, and brings you face-to-face with your soul. We live in a world addicted to distraction. We're constantly running, scrolling, chasing, searching. But what if everything you're looking for is found in the silence you're avoiding? This episode is an invitation to shift your perspective. To stop resisting the quiet. To stop running from yourself. Because the truth is: when you can be fully with yourself, you become free. Whether you're navigating a breakup, in a season of uncertainty, or simply craving deeper connection, this is for you. Solitude isn't a punishment. It's preparation. And when you embrace it, your life will transform from the inside out. Timestamps:   (00:03:59) - Why being alone could be the key to your freedom. (00:13:18) - The real fear behind aloneness. (00:05:07) - How society conditions us to fear solitude. (00:08:39) - The surprising power of being alone. (00:11:28) - What solitude awakens in us: awareness, strength, and freedom. (00:13:40) - Reflective self-inquiry: Who are you when no one is watching? (00:16:39) - The importance of daily silence and journaling. (00:17:28) - Why aloneness is a sacred path walked by all great souls. (00:18:50) - A humbling fatherhood moment that revealed divine connection.  (00:21:15) - Aloneness as a superpower. Some Questions I Ask:  What if solitude isn't punishment but preparation? Why do we resist silence and stillness? Who are you when no one else is watching? Can you be the love you've been seeking? What do you fear will surface in the silence? How can you reclaim your power by embracing aloneness? In this episode, you will learn about:  Why being alone is not the same as being lonely. How to shift your perspective on aloneness from fear and lack to peace and inner strength. Why true connection with others begins with a deep connection to yourself. Simple daily rituals to help you embrace stillness and make space for inner clarity. The real reason we avoid silence and how facing it can unlock profound healing. How embracing your aloneness can lead to greater creativity, self-awareness, and authentic love.

Sue Stockdale speaks to adventurer, author, and deep thinker Ed Ley-Wilson. Ed shares insights from his life exploring both the outdoors and the mind. From kayaking the rugged west coast of Scotland to reflecting on resilience, solitude, and the power of slowing down, Ed reveals how adventure - whether on land, sea, or within ourselves shapes our engagement with the world. About Ed Ley-WilsonEd has over thirty years of working and engaging with business, community, educational, social and environmental issues throughout the Highlands of Scotland. He has undertaken long self-supported kayaking journeys in Norway and Patagonia and has run 1200 miles of the Great Wall of China (1988) and the 2000 mile length of the Himalayas (1990). Ed is no stranger to hardship and during his 2022 kayaking journey up the west coast of Scotland he faced some of the worst weather in that region for years. He also has two books to his name, ‘The Himalayan Shuffle' and ‘Kayaking the Sea Roads.Key Quotes"Adventure isn't just about the physical challenge; it's about how we engage with the world around us and what we learn from it.""Solitude teaches you resilience in a way nothing else can - you have to sit with your thoughts and find your own way through them.""Whether on the sea or in life, you can't always control what happens, but you can control how you respond to it.""The lessons I learned from John Ridgway weren't just about survival; they were about self-reliance, discipline, and understanding your own limits.""Slowing down and disconnecting from the noise of the modern world is one of the greatest gifts adventure can offer.""It's not a weakness to not know stuff.

Tariq Krim est un entrepreneur visionnaire que j'ai la chance de connaître depuis de nombreuses années. Il a fondé Netvibes — une plateforme pionnière dans la personnalisation du web dont les plus anciens se souviennent mais simplement pour vous permettre de mieux comprendre : tout le monde utilisait Netvibes et Zuckerberg était un grand fan entre autres — et aujourd'hui, il est devenu l'une des voix les plus lucides sur l'évolution du numérique et de l'intelligence artificielle.Dans cet épisode, j'ai invité Tariq pour démonter avec lui les grands mythes autour de l'IA. Ensemble, nous avons exploré sans détour ce qu'est réellement cette technologie, loin des discours alarmistes ou des promesses irréalistes. J'ai questionné Tariq sur les limites techniques des intelligences artificielles actuelles, leur impact sur notre société, notre manière de penser, de travailler, et sur la géopolitique mondiale.Nous avons aussi abordé des sujets fondamentaux comme la productivité individuelle face à l'automatisation, l'impact de l'IA sur la solitude sociale, et le rôle crucial de l'Europe face à la compétition entre les grandes puissances technologiques. Tariq a une capacité rare : celle de parler avec précision autant de la technique que des dynamiques politiques, sociétales et économiques sous-jacentes.Dans cet épisode, nous parlons de la réalité de l'IA (non, ce n'est pas une "vraie" intelligence), de la désinformation médiatique autour de cette révolution, de la militarisation des technologies et de l'urgence d'apprendre à penser par soi-même dans un monde saturé de contenus générés.C'est un échange riche, sans faux-semblants, parfois personnel, toujours accessible — dans lequel nous avons essayé de vous donner des clés pour mieux comprendre ce moment charnière que nous vivons.5 citations marquantes"L'intelligence artificielle n'est qu'une extension de l'informatique, pas une révolution magique.""Le vrai pouvoir de demain sera entre les mains de ceux qui savent encore penser par eux-mêmes.""L'IA n'est pas intelligente, elle est performante dans des domaines précis, c'est tout.""La géopolitique de l'IA est un combat pour la suprématie mondiale, pas pour le bien commun.""Chaque gain de productivité lié à l'IA déplace le travail, mais ne le supprime pas."10 questions structurées posées dans l'épisodeQuels sont pour toi les plus grands mythes autour de l'intelligence artificielle ?L'IA est-elle vraiment capable d'intelligence au sens humain ?Comment ChatGPT influence-t-il nos biais personnels ?Que penses-tu du concept de "deep search" dans l'IA ?Quel est le modèle économique réel des IA aujourd'hui ?En quoi l'IA est-elle devenue un enjeu militaire mondial ?Quelle place peut jouer l'Europe dans cette course à l'IA ?Est-ce que l'IA menace réellement l'emploi ?Comment éduquer les jeunes dans un monde dominé par l'IA ?L'usage intensif des IA risque-t-il d'accroître notre solitude numérique ?Timelaps : 0:00 Introduction à l'IA et présentation de Tariq Krim0:50 Démontage des mythes autour de l'intelligence artificielle3:30 Pourquoi l'IA reste fondamentalement de l'informatique6:00 ChatGPT et personnalisation des biais cognitifs9:30 Deep search : opportunités et limites13:50 Impact réel sur la productivité individuelle20:00 Rôle des médias dans la perception publique de l'IA28:00 IA et militarisation technologique36:00 L'impact de l'IA sur l'éducation et l'apprentissage41:00 Solitude numérique et relations humaines Suggestion d'autres épisodes à écouter : #205 Réseaux sociaux: y'a t-il un pilote dans l'avion? avec Tariq Krim (https://audmns.com/QYXZuUJ) Vlan #49 Le Slow web: vers une vision plus éthique d'internet avec Tariq Krim (https://audmns.com/jfEgxAx) #146 Comment l'intelligence artificielle peut réellement vous rendre plus humain.e avec Alexandre Pachulski (https://audmns.com/KdwwONa) #141 Les technologies et l'intelligence artificielle face à la crise climatique avec Luc Julia (https://audmns.com/WJCdimQ) Vlan #56 Ethique et intelligence artificielle sont elles compatibles?  avec Aurélie Jean (https://audmns.com/mYmYlUh)Distribué par Audiomeans.

There's so much to say about the Latin American Boom in literature, but how can we possibly discuss it at this point in time without mentioning Mario Vargas Llosa and his recent passing. And so, as a Colombia-focused podcast, we take a look at this era and these personalities in the literary world, such as Colombia's inimitable Gabriel Garcia Marquez but through the prism of Mario Vargas Llosa. With very special guest Juan E. De Castro, professor of literary studies at Eugene Lang College of Liberal Arts at The New School. Author of Writing Revolution in Latin America: From Martí to García Márquez to Bolaño and Bread and Beauty: The Cultural Politics of José Carlos Mariátegui, among other works, we discuss a variety of topics relating to but not restricted to: 1. The Latin American Boom. 2. Mario Vargas Llosa and Gabriel Garcia Marquez and "that punch." 3. The importance of the Latin American Boom. 4. The end of this literary milestone. 5. One Hundred Years of Solitude - the Netflix version.  And so much more, including the Colombia Briefing with Emily Hart.

In this final session, Brant brings everything full circle by asking the most important question:  What does God actually want from us? Not a long checklist of religious tasks. Not a constant emotional high. What God truly wants is loyalty—a steadfast, believing loyalty that holds on even when we don't feel anything at all.  Brant explores disciplines that help shape us into people who can live lighter, freer lives: prayer, Scripture memorization, Sabbath, solitude, fasting, silence, and gratitude. This final episode leaves you with the invitation to walk with God daily, honestly, and loyally. Follow along with this session's slides/notes!

The lost discipline of waiting on God is one that men of old deeply valued, filling their journals with reflections on solitude. Today, however, we are consumed by distraction and the fear of missing out. Ray, E.Z., Mark, and Oscar talk about how the rise of social media and smartphones has contributed to the loss of silence and solitude, which are vital to the Christian life. Silence forces us to confront our hearts—our struggles with working on salvation rather than working it out. Instead of facing our darkest thoughts, we use digital distractions as an escape. When we wait on God, we experience revival, healing, and conviction. Practicing solitude requires discipline, as our minds constantly race with thoughts, often without us realizing the noise surrounding us. True stillness is an intentional quieting of the soul before God.Knowing God is more than knowing scripture—it's abiding in Him. Silence invites us to see God as He sees us, to cease striving, and to recognize His presence. In Mark 6, Jesus told His disciples to step away after their missionary journey. This teaches us that spiritual strength comes from intentional rest in God's presence. How do we practically apply this? Scripture should be incorporated into prayer. The secular world promotes mindfulness, but Christian  solitude is not about emptying the mind—it's about filling it with God's thoughts. The devil's greatest weapon is busyness, distracting us from true communion with God. We often create our plans and ask God to bless them instead of waiting in silence to hear Him speak.Our deepest yearning is to connect with the One whose image we bear. Yet, our phones keep us in a state of constant stimulation, making true solitude difficult. Practical steps to regain it include taking walks without a phone, setting screen-free times in the morning or before bed, and leaving devices behind when going into nature. This is not about emptying the mind but filling it with God's promises. Silence before God is an opportunity to recalibrate, much like any precise measurement tool that requires alignment with a definite standard. How do we cultivate solitude in a world of distractions? Establish accountability, identify distractions, and reorder priorities. If entertainment takes up our time, adjust it to prioritize time with God. Applying these principles will be difficult. Our hearts remain restless until they rest in God. True solitude takes time and effort, but we must persist. The reward is a deep, abiding relationship with the Lord, free from the noise that seeks to pull us away.Send us a textThanks for listening!
