Send us a textHave you ever felt guilty about wanting to skip a holiday parade? Our conversation digs into the unspoken expectations around celebrations like July 4th and why choosing your own path is not just acceptable—it's essential for genuine happiness.The team explores how our relationship with holidays evolves throughout our lives. For some, the perfect celebration might be a quiet day at home with a beer, while others crave the energy of crowds and community events. We unpack why these preferences shift based on our life circumstances, energy levels, and personal needs, not just our age. You'll hear personal stories about college reunions, changing family traditions, and the sometimes complicated emotions holidays can trigger.After the isolation of COVID, we've all had to reconsider our social connections in new ways. Some discovered they thrived in solitude while others felt desperate for community—and holidays now amplify these differences. The episode touches on safety concerns at public gatherings but reminds listeners that community experiences, even brief ones, provide valuable energy and perspective. The most powerful takeaway? Breaking free from monotony keeps us vibrant regardless of chronological age. We're not "over the hill" unless we stop growing and trying new things.So whether you're planning an elaborate celebration or looking forward to a quiet weekend, this episode gives you permission to honor your authentic needs without judgment. As you listen, consider what would truly make this holiday meaningful for you, and remember that the perfect balance of solitude and connection might look different for everyone—and that's exactly as it should be.

Raphaël Quenard est comédien, scénariste et désormais réalisateur avec son film I Love Peru. Charles Pépin est philosophe et auteur du livre Vivre avec son passé. Cet épisode est le fruit d'une rencontre entre moi et Amaury de breakbuild que je remercie vivementDans un monde tellement polarisé, j'ai eu envie de créer des ponts entre des personnes qui ne se connaissent et que rien ne relie à priori.J'ai démandé à Raphael, un sujet qui l'intéressait particulièrement et il m'a parlé de solitude, j'ai donc décidé de le mettre face à Charles.Dans cet épisode de Vlan, j'ai réuni ces deux personnalités singulières pour parler d'un thème qui me touche profondément : la solitude. Que ce soit dans la création, l'amour ou la philosophie, la solitude nous traverse tous. Mais chacun en fait une expérience radicalement différente.Avec Raphaël, nous avons évoqué la solitude de l'artiste, celle que l'on choisit et qui devient source de puissance créative. Il revient sur le processus de création de son film, réalisé dans le chaos, le flou, et pourtant porteur d'une vérité sensible rare. Il parle aussi, avec beaucoup de sincérité, du deuil amoureux qui a nourri ce projet, de cette fracture intime qui nous laisse souvent sans voix.Charles, lui, éclaire nos échanges de sa pensée précise et lumineuse. Il nous rappelle combien la solitude est un royaume, traversé de moments sublimes et d'autres, plus sombres, où l'on doute, où l'on cherche. Il parle aussi de la solitude morale, celle face à sa conscience, et de celle du politique, seul face au réel.J'ai voulu faire de cet épisode un espace de rencontre, de réflexion, presque une parenthèse où l'on peut penser autrement notre rapport à la création, à la norme, à la marginalité. Avec humour, profondeur et parfois même une forme de poésie, Charles et Raphaël se rejoignent là où l'on ne les attendait pas toujours.Dans cet épisode, nous parlons aussi de rupture amoureuse, de docu-fiction, de la souffrance de ne pas comprendre pourquoi l'on est quitté, et de ce que cela dit de nous. J'ai partagé mon propre vécu, mon « kit de secours pour cœur brisé », et cela a nourri une conversation vraie, sans détour.Citations marquantes« La solitude, je la traque. Elle me connecte à mon cerveau reptilien. » — Raphaël Quenard« Quand tu écris, tu es seul, mais c'est parfois la plus grande des joies. » — Charles Pépin« On n'est pas éduqués à comprendre qu'il n'y a rien à comprendre. » — Raphaël Quenard« Être singulier, c'est être seul à être soi. » — Charles Pépin« L'amour, c'est la plus inestimable des drogues. Et la plus destructrice. » — Raphaël Quenard10 questions structurées posées dans l'interviewQuel lien faites-vous entre solitude et processus de création ?Est-ce que la solitude est une souffrance ou une ressource pour vous ?Comment vivez-vous la reconnaissance après une période d'écriture solitaire ?Peut-on être seul même entouré ?Qu'est-ce que la notoriété change à la solitude ?Quel rôle joue la solitude dans la conscience morale ?Pourquoi avoir choisi de parler d'amour dans ce film ?Quelle est la place du deuil amoureux dans la création artistique ?Est-il possible d'être ami avec ses ex ou d'aimer sans fusionner ?La rupture amicale est-elle plus douloureuse que la rupture amoureuse ?Timestamps clés pour YouTube00:01 – Introduction : rencontre entre Raphaël Quenard et Charles Pépin01:00 – La solitude de l'écrivain et du créateur05:00 – Processus d'écriture, manque d'inspiration et discipline09:00 – Solitude choisie vs isolement subi12:30 – La marginalité comme puissance créative18:00 – La solitude de la célébrité22:30 – Création du film I Love Peru : chaos et docu-fiction26:30 – Le montage comme acte psychanalytique30:00 – La solitude du politique et la confrontation au réel34:00 – Le deuil amoureux, un déclencheur créatif39:00 – L'amour durable et les promesses impossibles44:00 – Fiction et documentaire : trouver le naturel dans le film46:00 – Rupture amicale : douleur silencieuse48:00 – L'amour platonique : un contresens courant50:00 – Est-il possible de désirer l'autre après 40 ans ?Distribué par Audiomeans.

There comes a point on the spiritual journey when walking alone isn't a choice—it's a calling. In this deeply vulnerable and powerful episode, Kaleah shares from her own lived experience what it means to be a woman who walks alone. Not because she's broken, unworthy, or unloved—but because her path of transformation, healing, and awakening has led her into a space where few can follow. Through reflections on solitude, the shedding of old identities, and the misunderstood silence between endings and new beginnings, Kaleah speaks to the sacred initiation of the soul. She explores the loneliness that can follow deep inner work, the grief of losing connections that no longer align, and the quiet strength that emerges when we learn to draw from our own divine well. This episode is a guiding light for women who have released the old, outgrown the familiar, and now find themselves navigating the unknown. It's a reminder that walking alone doesn't mean being lost—it means walking in truth.

Imagine being dropped at the edge of Antarctica, the launch point for a 570-mile ski expedition to the bottom of the world. That's where Chris Fagan and her husband Marti found themselves in 2013, beginning a grueling, 48-day, unguided journey to the South Pole—one that would ultimately earn them a Guinness World Record. Along the way, they faced periods of profound silence: on good days, a serene connection with nature; on bad days, an overwhelming sense of isolation. Chris joins Ben to unpack the paradox of solace and loneliness in an extreme environment like Antarctica, the mental and physical toll of the trek, and how the journey inspired her to write her award-winning book, "The Expedition".

Sermon Summary: "The Discipline of Solitude" - Mark 1:35-39 Series: Sacred Rhythms (Message 1) Main Message: Solitude with God is not escape from reality—it's engagement with the deepest reality of all. Overview When was the last time you were truly alone—no phone, no music, no distractions—just you and silence? In our hyper-connected, always-on world, the discipline of solitude might seem impossible or even selfish. But Jesus shows us something different. This message launches our "Sacred Rhythms" series by exploring the spiritual discipline that Jesus practiced regularly: withdrawing to solitary places for communion with the Father. The Counter-Cultural Choice After an incredibly busy day of ministry where "the whole town gathered" for healing, Jesus made a surprising choice. Instead of capitalizing on the momentum, He got up early while it was still dark and went to a solitary place to pray. This wasn't a one-time event—Luke tells us Jesus "often withdrew to lonely places and prayed." If Jesus needed regular solitude, how much more do we? Key Points 1. Jesus Prioritized Solitude Even in His Busiest Seasons Jesus chose solitude precisely when ministry was most successful and needs were most pressing. This goes against everything our culture teaches about productivity and opportunity. His solitude wasn't escape—it was preparation for purpose. 2. Solitude Provides Clarity for Life's Competing Demands When the disciples found Jesus and said "Everyone is looking for you!" Jesus had something they didn't—clarity from time with the Father. Instead of rushing back to meet expectations, He announced a change in direction based on what He'd heard in the quiet. Solitude helps us distinguish between what's urgent and what's important. 3. Solitude Counters the Spiritual Dangers of Our Connected Culture We've never been more connected yet never felt more lonely. Our culture creates spiritual dangers: addiction to stimulation, constant comparison, shallow thinking, and spiritual numbness. Solitude is the antidote, helping us find satisfaction in God alone and hear His gentle whisper above the noise. 4. Solitude Is a Skill That Must Be Developed Through Practice When we first try solitude, our minds race and spirits feel restless. This is normal—it's a discipline that requires practice. Start small with 10-15 minutes, choose consistent time and place, remove distractions, and expect initial discomfort as your soul adjusts to silence. Practical Challenge This week, commit to developing the discipline of solitude: Beginners: 10 minutes daily of silence with God Developing: Extend current quiet time to include 15-20 minutes of pure solitude Experienced: Consider a longer retreat—an hour, half-day, or full day Remember: the goal isn't perfection; it's practice. Every moment of solitude is a step toward deeper intimacy with Christ. The Invitation In a world that never stops talking, God is still speaking. In a culture that fears being alone, God is waiting to be with us. The discipline of solitude isn't about escaping the world—it's about engaging with the God who made the world. Your phone will still be there when you return. Your responsibilities will still be waiting. But you will be different. You'll have the clarity, peace, and strength that only comes from being alone with the God who loves you more than you can imagine. Start today. Start small. But start. The God who created you is waiting to meet with you in the silence. Listen to the full sermon audio above. This begins our six-part "Sacred Rhythms" series introducing key spiritual disciplines. For upcoming messages and other sermon resources, visit our sermon archive.

Mourn your sin. Dance in grace. Join the community. Be sent in love. This is how you cultivate a lasting, passionate heart for God's mission.

What does the energy of July hold for YOU? I was so curious about this question that I picked THREE oracle cards just for YOU, and I didn't get a message just for July… I got a message for the second half of 2025 too! In this episode, I share the three oracle cards I picked just for YOU from the Sacred Traveler deck, and weave together the THEME for this month AND for the rest of 2025!  These cards reflect the shift in energy that began at the Solstice and are inviting us to utilize the second half of the year to clear the way for a miraculous 2026!   Key Learnings: 1) The energy shift began at the Solstice and will continue through the second half of the year. The first card I chose for you for July is the Distant Thunder card, which invites us to ‘clear the air' and quite literally clear our space! Take stock of what supports you and what is no longer needed, and let go of whatever you no longer need. 2) The second card is Traveling Lightly, which invites us to simplify our lives! This card expands on the first card, but gets a little more specific in helping us let go of mental clutter as well. 3) The last card is Solitude and the message is ‘In Silence, Peace Prevails.' This card is for the second half of the year and it encourages us to bring our attention inward. This card does not mean you will be alone, but rather it encourages you to seek time alone to be with God. All three of these cards are helping us to clear up any loose ends, as it is a 9 year in numerology, a time of completion. This will help us lay a fresh foundation in 2026, which is a 1 year, a brand new cycle.   “Do not allow your circumstances to determine your faith.

If You're a FAN leave me a message :-)Being alone isn't the same as being lonely - and being surrounded doesn't guarantee inner peace.In this transformative episode of 15 Minute Mondays, I dive into the crucial distinction between solitude and loneliness. I explore why our culture misunderstands solitude, and why mastering the art of being alone can lead to profound inner peace and self-awareness.You'll learn why solitude isn't punishment but a powerful gateway to reconnecting with yourself. Discover how stepping into your own presence without fear or distraction can radically shift your emotional health, relationships, and overall life satisfaction.

This week's guest, Thuy-vy Nguyen, PhD, is one of the world's leading researchers on solitude, and an associate professor at Durham University's dedicated research lab, Solitude Lab. Her interest is in ‘ordinary, everyday life solitude', the kind you're more likely to find in the corner of a cafe than on a 10-day silent meditation retreat. It's solitude in moderation – or what we on this podcast like to call alonement.This episode is an edifying exploration of the latest in solitude research, from how the experience of being alone affects our mental state to the pros and cons of labelling yourself an introvert/extrovert. We also talk about solitude skills, and how almost anyone can get better at it – no matter how much they hate it to begin with.You can find out more about Thuy-vy's brilliant work on the Solitude Lab website.

Kevin Wolfe – Psalm 46

Last week, we kicked off a two-part series about cosmic mountain encounters in the Bible. We took a tour of the Bible and visited different mountains to discover how they became places where God invited flawed and faulty humans in His redemptive work. We talked about how every cosmic mountain involves testing, resting and trusting. We started with information, and now, we’re pivoting to application. What does it mean to trust and rest in God? Mountains are a temporary place, so this week, we’re coming back Down the Mountain, exploring how we can respond appropriately while we’re up there and discovering what comes with us when we return to normal life.

On July 11, Superman flies back into cinemas in his third reboot – but this time, he's different. Director James Gunn promises a beacon of hope, kindness, and decency, a sharp contrast to the grim hero we last saw. How will a reborn idealistic Man of Steel land in the most cynical American moment of the modern era? How has Superman changed in his 87 years in comics, movies and radio? And can he save the American Way from a real-life supervillain in the White House?

We can all benefit from healthy relationships and connections, but sometimes kids (and adults) just want some 'alone time' - and that's OK too.  Author and illustrator Vera Brosgol joins us to dig into several of her fantastically imaginative book worlds that help explore relationships with our family, and ourselves.

Death Stranding is one of the most unusual and unique games I've ever played. It flies in the face of conventions and stretches itself out into the real world in some unexpected ways. But, as with most of Hideo Kojima's games, it has a charm that is irresistible. Please consider supporting us on Patreon if you have the means.

What if being single and childfree wasn't a consolation prize—but a portal to deep peace, freedom, and joy? In this powerful conversation, I'm joined by the vibrant and wonderful Lucy Meggeson—host of the Thrive Solo podcast and author of the book by the same name (or Shiny Happy Singles if you're in the UK). Together, we explore the liberation, sovereignty, and delight that come from embracing a solo path. Lucy opens up about the moment she realized that singlehood was not just her circumstance—it was her choice and her joy. We unpack the outdated societal narratives that equate coupledom with success and lovingly challenge the stigma around choosing solitude. From reclaiming the word “selfish” to transmuting sexual energy into creative power, this episode is a bold manifesto for living life on your own terms. What we explore: Joyfully single is not an oxymoron—it's a lifestyle, a choice, and a liberation. Reclaiming “selfish” as self-honoring and soul-serving. Solitude fosters emotional regulation, clarity, and inner peace. The myth of the “less than” single woman must be dismantled. Sex, or the lack thereof, can be a channel for profound creative expression.   Loved this episode? Please share it with a woman who needs permission to put herself first.
