Walter laments the tragic death of the classic American sedan, trades stories about haunted cars, and recounts his terrifying experience breaking down in the pitch-black Pennsylvania Wilds. The weirdness only escalates when psychic, metaphysicist, and UN committee member Dr. Linda Salvin drops in to explain the intense differences between being intuitive and being a true psychic.
Episode Description: The End of Anxiety — Cultivating True Faith in a Heavy World Welcome to For Zion's Sake, hosted by Sheldon N. Volk (Shelley) and June (Juni). As we kick off a new week of broadcasting, we turn our attention to a universal struggle that weighs heavily on the human heart in this day and age: Anxiety, Worry, and Sorrow. Anxiety is a default human reaction to difficult times, but scripturally, it means to be "drawn in different directions"—pulling us away from our true path. By breaking down the original biblical context and language, Shelley and Juni explore how unchecked worry stalls our spiritual fruitfulness, how anxiety serves as the root cause of deep depression, and why fully surrendering our lives into God's hands is the definitive antidote. Inside This Episode: Recognizing a "Bad Day": A humorous look at how we identify a rough start to the day—from stuck car horns on the freeway while following Hell's Angels, to turning our worries over to the One who stays up all night anyway. The Miracle of the Easter Bells: The powerful history of General Masséna's Napoleonic troops and an undefended Austrian town that chose to leave its battle in God's hands, showing that the things we fret over often never come to pass. The Blueprint of Surrender: Reflecting on the profound wisdom of legendary missionary Hudson Taylor regarding putting our plans, loved ones, and influence completely into God's care. Anxiety Defined: Examining the Greek concept of anxiety as being pulled in conflicting directions and looking at how the cares of the world systematically choke out the Word (Matthew 13:22). The Root of Depression: A sobering analysis of Proverbs 12:25, revealing how a heart weighted down by anxiety causes depression, and why the "Good Word" is the ultimate remedy. Dwelling and Cultivating: Finding absolute peace by refusing to fret over evildoers, choosing instead to rely on the faithfulness of the Lord (Psalm 37:1-3). Key Takeaway: "The beginning of anxiety is the end of faith, and the beginning of true faith is the end of anxiety... If you lived your namesake—Sheldon 'Nothing' Volk—you would truly learn to be anxious for nothing!" — June & Shelley Volk Connect & Support: Get in Touch: We would love to hear from you!

Send us Fan MailRomans 9:1–13 (RSV). Paul's Sorrow for Israel and God's Election Ken Corkins and pastor Rocky Ellison open Season 18, Episode 20 of “Pondering the Bible,” noting Rocky's recovery from recent throat surgery, then begin Romans 9:1–13 (RSV). They discuss Paul's “great sorrow” over Israelites who faithfully follow Jewish law and worship yet do not believe in Jesus, emphasizing salvation by faith rather than DNA. Rocky explains Paul's use of “conscience” as a morally driven, Spirit-validated witness and highlights Paul's willingness to be “anathema” for his people, comparing it to Moses' plea in Exodus 32. They note Paul's listing of Israel's privileges, his strong statement that Jesus is both Jewish and God, and his argument that God's promises are for the Church (believers), not ethnic lineage, contrasting this with dispensationalism. They close by examining Isaac, Jacob, and Esau as examples of God's elective purpose and acknowledging the Calvinism debate. 00:00 Welcome and Check In 00:43 Reading Romans 9 02:46 Paul's Anguish for Israel 04:09 Conscience and the Spirit 07:56 Willing to Be Accursed 11:31 Israel's Privileges and Christ 15:15 Promises Beyond DNA 17:59 Dispensationalism Detour 22:48 Isaac Jacob and God's Choice 24:31 Election and Calvinism 26:22 Wrap Up and Dad JokeNEW!: Rate us at Podchaser Find us at www.pondergmc.org.

Sorrow is excessive when it hurts and overwhelms nature itself, and destroys bodily health or understanding. Grace is the due qualification of nature, and duty is the right employment of it; but neither of them must destroy it. As civil, ecclesiastic, and domestic governments are for edification and not for destruction, so also is self-government. God will have mercy and not sacrifice. Mat 9.13 He that would not have us kill or hurt our neighbor on the pretense of religion, would not have us destroy or hurt ourselves, for we are bound to love our neighbor as ourselves.
8 Unsigned Metal Bands Ranked: Who Actually Slaps? we react to Poet the Band, Filth Spewer, Sharp Lives, Profane Elegy, Killed by Sorrow, influence, CHAINGÜN & Gun Metal Gray — ranking who deserves to blow up next.The underground metal scene is packed with bands doing genuinely disturbing, technical, and downright unhinged things with zero label backing and even less attention — and today we're fixing that. This is a full reaction and breakdown episode covering eight bands spanning death metal, grind, sludge, and modern metalcore, judged purely on the music, no hype, no algorithm boost, just gut reactions.We go track-by-track through each act, talk about what's working, what's not, and which of these bands sound like they're one great album away from a real breakout. If you're into band biography and album-ranked content, discovering new metal, or you just want to know which underground act is worth your next Spotify queue, this one's for you.
I had stumbled across Becca's Threads account, WomenPlayDND, awhile back. I loved what she was doing with getting new players into Dungeons and Dragons and breaking people out of the rule book and getting them to the table. It was a pleasure having her join me on the podcast to talk about this, and more! We start things off by talking about the Romantasy book genre. We talk about some of her early reads, and what draws her to the Romantasy genre. Becca also talks about how characters are portrayed, storylines, and more. I recommended previous guest, Gabriella Buba's "Saints of Storm and Sorrow", and we even had a non-Romantasy book mentioned that I grew up with (Redwall, by Brian Jacques) Then we get into, you guessed it, Dungeons and Dragons. Becca talks about her early experiences getting into D&D, along with what kept her from the table and enjoying the game. She talks about how she found inspiration online, to then finding groups that worked for her and her play style, along with characters that she plays. We also talk about some of the past issues with D&D, the barriers and gatekeeping of getting into the game, and how she's worked on a system to teach others D&D and helping to make it more accessible, founding Women Play DND.

How can we make our joy contagious? Looking at Romans 12:15, Pastor Joe shows what it means for the family of God when we both rejoice and mourn with others.
Read transcriptIn 1986, King Features looked at its stable of unrelated newspaper strip heroes and decided the responsible thing to do was throw them all in a blender. Flash Gordon, Mandrake the Magician, and the Phantom. A spaceman, a stage hypnotist, and a guy who lives in a skull-shaped cave and inherited his job from his dad got drafted into a single Saturday morning cartoon called Defenders of the Earth on the apparent theory that if the Avengers could do a team-up, so could three guys who had never met before that year and shared nothing except a syndicate contract. Then, because nothing from the '80s was allowed to stay just a cartoon, Defenders of the Earth became a video game in 1990, courtesy of Enigma Variations, for the exact kind of home computer that made you type a magic incantation and wait: Commodore 64, ZX Spectrum, Amstrad CPC, Atari ST, Amiga, and, for the three people on Earth who owned one, the SAM Coupé. You play Flash, sneaking through Ming's castle dodging security cameras, occasionally calling in Mandrake or the Phantom to open doors, because apparently that's what magic and jungle-honed strength were for in these days. Helping make sense of this glorious pile of licensed heroes is Ryan Estrada, who's written comics for Star Trek, Popeye, Garfield, and, fittingly, Flash Gordon itself, having contributed to Papercutz's newer Flash Gordon Adventures line. Ryan's also built a reputation for tucking real hidden puzzles and messages directly into his comic pages, in plain sight, daring anyone paying close enough attention to find them. Which feels like exactly the right skillset for an episode about a security system that apparently only a few specific comic strip disciplines can defeat. So track down a joystick you no longer own, adjust to a universe where Flash Gordon answers to a management structure that includes a professional hypnotist, and let's find out whether the Defenders of the Earth earned their game, or whether Earth would've been just fine handling Ming on its own. Learn such things as: Is it really a team game if you only get to play as one member? Why should you learn another language that uses a different alphabet? What are some of the special rules with making licenses comics? And so much more! You can find everything you could ever want to know about Ryan on RyanEstrada.com.

As we continue with our “Psalms of Ascents” series, we come to Psalm 126, which begins with the Psalmist either remembering a past or imagining a future where God has restored his people from captivity and back to a life of favor, blessing, and joy. It continues with a prayer for that same restoration again and a reflection that as we walk through extended times of longing and sadness and tears, we still sow seed in hope of a future harvest. Sorrow is real, but despair is not an option. Come out this Sunday and bring a friend as we consider what it is to be shaped by sorrow but living in hope.- Series Description -On Sundays this summer, we'll explore the Psalms of Ascents (Psalms 120 - 134) together. This particular group of psalms is all about being on a journey with God-- being a pilgrim in pursuit of God's loving presence. The journey involves heartache, oppression, sadness, hope, joy, and rescue.
Jesus' victory over sin is a great cause of joy in heaven and on earth. This victory only happens, however, insofar as sin is recognized and repented of. Paradoxically, therefore, the sorrow of contrition for our sins is simultaneously a great motive for joy at our reconciliation with God. Sorrow for sin lets Jesus' victory be won in us and thus makes of us fertile grounds for joy and celebration.

She is glad that she came. Bessy, whose face was so often tormented by pain, is finally at peace. Margaret is calm but deeply affected by the scene. Downstairs, they come down and see Mr. Higgins, where he looks wild, and like he is struggling to process the news he has heard. He asks Margaret if she was with her when she died. Then asks if she really has died, or has just fainted, like at previous times. Margaret thinks that he has been drinking a little. He breaks down into tears and hurls himself onto the table, which shakes under his wails. Mary goes to him, but she is shoved away by her father. After he calms a little, he makes his way to the door. Mary goes to stop him, proclaiming that Bessy's last words were to keep their father from drink. Margaret steps in front of the door, not moving a muscle, and standing her ground. At last, Higgins gives in. Margaret asks him to come upstairs and see his daughter, and though uncertain, he goes. Following this, Margaret asks him to come and have tea with her father. They go to the Hale residence. Mr. Higgins suggests that he should have washed himself and while Margaret agrees, she doesn't want to leave him alone, where he could sneak off to a Gin House. Margaret runs in first to warn her father, and though he is very concerned after all Margaret had said about the man, he consents to sit with him. Margaret goes to her mother. Mrs. Hale is very worried about the letter that Margaret sent to Frederick. She is worried that he will be captured if he comes to England. Margaret, and especially Dixon, manage to calm her down though, Dixon stating that she was thinking of writing to him anyway. Once properly calmed, Margaret goes to sit with her father and Mr. Higgins. Her father and Mr. Higgins are engaged in a deep conversation, which only breaks for Mr. Hale to give his daughter a chair. They talk deeply about religion and politics, and Mr. Hale tells Higgins that he has no goal to convince him today, or tomorrow, but believes that the truth will come out over time. The conversation gets a little heated, but Margaret very gently calms him with soothing words. Eventually, the conversation moves onto the strike, which Higgins says has failed. The riot caused the strike to fail, which made Higgins incredibly angry at Boucher and his like. Margaret asks him questions about the Union, and states that she feels that the Union can be just as worse as the Masters, but she understands the need to for one. Before Higgins goes home, Home as Margaret verified, Mr. Hale asks Higgins to pray with them. SEO stuff I don't want to do. Elizabeth Gaskell's classic, "North and South" sees Margaret Hale's live uprooted as her family moves to the north of England. Initially disgusted by the ugliness of the industrial town of Milton, Margaret develops a strong sense of social justice after seeing the poverty and suffering of local mill workers.

To celebrate hitting 250 episodes of Playing With Fire, we're diving deep into something we've been asked about constantly since our first episode on it over a year ago: Relationship Re-Imagination.We introduced this concept back in episode 194, and the response was immediate and intense; people wanted steps, phases, a roadmap—something they could follow to Re-Imagine their relationships. But this is not a linear process you can follow off a checklist. This is soul-making work. It's the kind of deep, transformative process that asks you to see yourself, your partner(s), and your relationship with fresh eyes—and then co-create something new from that place of awareness. It's messy, non-linear, and profoundly worthwhile, and we're finally ready to share what we've learned from years of doing this work, both in our own relationship and with hundreds of clients and students.This episode is different from our usual format. Ken interviews Joli about her framework for Relationship Re-Imagination, and we get into the complexity of what this work actually requires.In this episode, we talk about:— What Relationship Re-Imagination actually is (and what it isn't)— Why this isn't the same as couples counseling, de-escalation, or conscious uncoupling— The essential conditions required before you even begin this work— Why you absolutely cannot do this work in three months (or even six), and what a realistic timeline might look like— The four ongoing conditions of a Re-Imagination— The threads you'll weave together during the process, including nervous system, grief, shadow, repair, and becoming work— How to know when you've crossed a threshold and why ritual matters so much— The three potential outcomes of discernment work, and why conscious uncoupling isn't a failure— How to celebrate the hell out of your transformationResources mentioned in this episode:— Episode 194 of Playing With Fire: Our first conversation about relationship re-imagination— The Wild Edge of Sorrow by Francis Weller— Two free weeks of Brain-Based Wellness— Our Neuro-Somatic Intelligence Essentials playlist— Individuation Alchemy, our nine-month container for depth psychological practice— Our Sexual Shadow MasterclassJOIN The Year Of Opening® community for a full year of learning & supportLearn the 5 secrets to open your relationship the smart wayAre you ready to open your relationship happily?

What do we do about our grief, sorrow, and pain? In this message from the Invitations From God in the Psalms series, we look at Psalms 42 and 43 and God's invitation to lament. These psalms give language to the experience of feeling spiritually dry, emotionally overwhelmed, and far from the comfort of God's presence. Biblical lament is not faithlessness. It is faith bringing grief, confusion, anger, loneliness, anxiety, and pain honestly before God. The psalmist cries out from a place of deep need, asks hard questions, remembers God's faithfulness, and repeatedly speaks hope to his own soul: “Hope in God, for I shall again praise him.” This sermon explores why lament is a sign of faith, how lament helps us know God better, and how lament helps us understand our own hearts more honestly. We also look at how Jesus Himself prayed the Psalms and entered into lament on the cross, showing us that God welcomes our honest cries and forms us through them.
Have we met before? Is it possible to be over apologetic? And if Cosmic Consciousness is so special, then what's the function of God Consciousness and Unity Consciousness? In this Ask Thom Anything episode, Thom responds to guest questions on when an apology is appropriate, how Cosmic Consciousness differs from God Consciousness and Unity Consciousness, and whether past-life connections continue into this life. He explores responsibility without sorrow, the refinement of perception through higher states of consciousness, and the braided nature of lifetimes. Listen or watch to understand the grounded Vedic perspective on relationship, enlightenment, and continuity across lives.

No matter how deeply we struggle with sin, the gospel offers greater hope. Walking through Romans 7:14–8:1, this message reminds us that our struggle doesn't define us—Jesus does, and in Him there is no condemnation, only grace that leads to lasting transformation.
When something isn't working, even if you've been practicing non-monogamy for a long time, it's really easy to default into the monogamous paradigm, which offers only a few set options. But what if there was another way?Reimagining a relationship means creating something new. It's different from de-escalation (which implies undoing a path you've taken) or uncoupling (which implies ending). Instead, reimagining opens space to explore what your relationship could become if you moved beyond your current ideas of what it is or was supposed to be.This process requires courage, patience, and a willingness to step into the unknown together. It's challenging work, but it can lead to beautiful new forms of connection that honor both your history and your ability to grow and change.In this episode, we talk about:— Why reimagining is different from de-escalation or uncoupling, and how it implies continuity rather than ending— The importance of acknowledging that our imagination is our relationship in many ways— How mononormativity limits our options when relationships need to change (stay together, break up, or be miserable)— The necessity of creating a "liminal container" – a dedicated time and space for the reimagining process— Why grief work is essential before you can truly reimagine something new— The challenge of letting go of what was while maintaining connection— How repair work fits into reimagination (hint: you can't skip it!)— The importance of nervous system regulation during times of uncertainty— Why creating new, explicit agreements is crucial for your reimagined relationship— The value of celebrating when you successfully reimagine a relationship into something new— How the language of "reimagining" itself can be empowering and create possibilitiesResources mentioned in this episode:— The Wild Edge of Sorrow by Francis Weller— Episode 152: How to Take Intentional Relationship Breaks— Episode 172: Grieving ChangeJOIN The Year Of Opening® community for a full year of learning & supportLearn the 5 secrets to open your relationship the smart wayAre you ready to open your relationship happily?

Have you ever experienced a pivot in life that you never would have chosen for yourself? When joy suddenly gives way to grief and the path ahead seems filled with more questions than answers, it can be difficult to understand what God is doing. Yet some of life's hardest pivots become the very places where God teaches us to trust Him most.In this episode, Tracie continues her conversation with Alyssa King as she shares the joy of welcoming her twin daughters, followed by the heartbreaking loss of four pregnancies. Through these unexpected pivots, Alyssa learned that God's ways are higher than our ways and His purposes can be trusted even when they are hidden from view. Her testimony is a powerful reminder that faithfulness in the darkest valleys is never wasted. When we continue to follow the Lord through seasons of grief and uncertainty, we may one day find ourselves declaring with gratitude, "My cup runneth over."As mentioned in the episode, don't forget to check out Caitlyn Domelle's new book, The Victorious Christian Life, available now from oldpathspublications.com.

Her faith, compassion, understanding, dedication and display of radical love has truly been life-changing for me. I was so overwhelmed with feelings of confusion, guilt, and sadness.

Jake Luhrs of August Burns Red comes on to talk advice from last words, finding purpose and their new album!
As the outdoor concert started, I felt a single raindrop on my cheek. Looking up, I saw ominous dark clouds. Having paid a steep price for tickets, however, I wasn’t inclined to leave because of a little bad weather. Then umbrellas began to pop open. One woman pulled a plastic grocery bag over her hair. It took just one deafening boom of thunder for the performer to grab her mic and beg us to take refuge somewhere. As the rain began to come in torrents, we splashed through muddy puddles and rushed into a nearby school gym. Thoroughly soaked, we huddled with strangers for the next half hour, still hoping the storm would end. When we ventured back out, we saw that the band was packed up and ready to leave. When the storms of life come, where can we run? Sorrow, worry, illness, and confusion can make us fearful and in need of refuge. We need a strong shelter that’ll protect us. Psalm 91 reminds us that God has promised to rescue us and to be with us in trouble. “Because he loves me . . . I will rescue him; I will protect him, for he acknowledges my name” (v. 14). When we need help, we can call on His name and He “will answer” us (v. 15). When our courage fails us, we can lean into His strength. He’s our shelter in any storm.
Have you ever used the "Ostrich Approach" to a difficult relationship, hid from a hard conversation, and ended up winning 50 different imaginary arguments inside your own head?Welcome back to The Catholic Coaching Podcast! In Episode 301, Matt and Erin are diving deeper into our conflict resolution series. Last week, we introduced the PACE framework (Pause, Assume Goodwill, Clarify, Engage). But the big question is: What actually happens inside that very first step—the Pause? Sometimes we abuse the pause to stew in resentment, or we skip it entirely and react out of unregulated emotion. To fix this, we are introducing a powerful new tool in this episode: The FACE Framework.When anger shows up, it's easy to give it a bad rap. But drawing from St. Thomas Aquinas and Catechism #1767, we unpack how anger is actually a morally neutral, complex passion made of two hidden components: Sorrow and Hope.To process your anger cleanly before reason kicks in, you have to FACE it:F – Find the Sorrow: What is the good thing you love that you perceive is being threatened or harmed?A – Assess the Story: Is your narrative a court-of-law fact, or are you editorializing?C – Challenge the Narrative: What fruits are you getting from this story, and how could the opposite be true?E – Examine the Hope: What do you want your anger to actually accomplish? (Restoring justice vs. seeking punishment).We walk through a highly relatable "Odd Couple" college roommate scenario featuring Brian (a highly ordered Melancholic) and Andy (a carefree Sanguine) to show RAs, ministry leaders, and coaches exactly how to accompany someone through a heated moment without falling into "story fondling."Whether you're dealing with a difficult coworker, a spouse, or navigating campus ministry, learning to purify your anger will completely transform your relationships.Send us Fan MailSupport the show____________________► Make sure to SUBSCRIBE to the Metanoia Catholic YouTube Channel!► Discover How God Is Speaking to You In Prayer► Find out your temperament: Take the Free Quiz► Get the Conversation Starter Guide (FREE) ► Take the Quiz: WHAT TYPE OF COACH ARE YOU?► GET THE DAILY SEVEN JOURNAL!This interactive journal will help you transform your life from the inside out by teaching you how to grow in gratitude, set healthy goals, and gain mastery over your thoughts.► JOIN THE ACADEMY!Your online resource of classes, tools, and community to ramp up your growth and really change your life.

I so appreciate the wisdom and writing of Francis Weller. His book The Wild Edge of Sorrow: Rituals of Renewal and the Sacred Work of Grief has been a touchstone for me, and now this book offers more perspective on grief, aging, sorrow, and “times of uncertainty.” Listen this week as I read Chapter 4 from In the Absence of the Ordinary: Soul Work for Times of Uncertainty.For more information on Best Life Best Death please visit our website at www.bestlifebestdeath.comFollow us on our social channels to receive pertinent and helpful resources on death, grieving, and more at:Facebook: www.facebook.com/bestlifebestdeathInstagram: www.instagram.com/bestlifebestdeath
Most leaders are carrying an energetic weight they were never meant to hold alone. In our current professional climate, those committed to equity and belonging face a quiet but painful trend: being hushed—subtly or overtly signaled to continue their transformative work with less organizational support, shrinking budgets, and higher personal risk. The resulting collective grief is not an abstract concept; it is a physical weight carried in our tissues. In this special debrief episode, Rhodes Perry sits down with yoga therapist and fellow Reiki Master practitioner, Chrissy Hoffman, to look back on their very first Collective Peace Share. Together, they pull back the curtain on their initial hesitations, share participants' breakthroughs, and explore how dropping our professional armor allows us to move from isolated survival strategies to communal aliveness. Doing the Inner Work In a workplace landscape that often feels upside-down, navigating the grief of transition requires turning our focus inward. This conversation explores how leaders can build the internal resilience necessary to navigate systemic setbacks by: Overcoming the Fear of "Too Woo." Moving past the ego's anxiety about blending high-performance leadership strategy with deep, intuitive spiritual healing. The Shift from "Fighting" to "Healing." Discerning the natural evolution in a values-driven leader's journey from early career "truth and justice" activism to sustainable "love and healing" frameworks. Communal Grief Integration. Re-learning how to process structural loss and exhaustion collectively rather than internalizing stress as an emotional sponge. The Architecture of Leading Embodied. Using ancient energetic hygiene tools to self-regulate, unlock creative business flows, and clear the mental static caused by external uncertainty. Episode Highlights [00:02:31] Naming Today's Reality. Rhodes addresses the profound sense of grief professionals are facing due to anti-DEI rollbacks, framing collective grief through the lens of Francis Weller's The Wild Edge of Sorrow: it was never meant to be carried in isolation. [00:04:20] Tracking the Resistance. Rhodes shares his initial hesitation to pitch this gathering to executives and entrepreneurs racing to adapt to AI and technological disruption, and how moving through his own resistance revealed a massive collective craving for a supportive container. [00:05:48] "I Have Been Waiting For This." Chrissy and Rhodes share moving feedback from a participant—a seasoned divorce attorney—who highlighted how desperately professional leaders need spaces where they can step out of "facilitator" mode and drop their protective armor. [00:11:33] Truth & Justice vs. Love & Healing. Inspired by a recent energetic shift, Rhodes outlines the evolution of his professional life: transitioning from a fiery younger advocate focused on dismantling oppressive structures, to a creative healer centering empathy, somatic wisdom, and organizational belonging. [00:16:22] Corrupt Systems, Not Human Enemies. Chrissy reflects on a powerful lesson from activist Mahmood Khalil: "No human is the enemy; corrupt systems are the enemy." She shares how shifting away from an immediate trigger response allows leaders to practice deep humility and listen with greater flexibility. [00:21:06] Previewing Lead Embodied. Rhodes reveals how editing his upcoming book, Lead Embodied: Roads Less Traveled to Authentic Leadership, served as his own medicine at the start of the year, reminding him that changing our internal shapes is a prerequisite for co-creating a space of external belonging. [00:27:37] The Three Pillars of Collective Practice. A breakdown of the core organizing principles of the Peace Share: Presence (holding the now without anxiety), Influence (focusing on our internal state), and Somatic Gratitude (anchoring to what is real right now rather than spiritual bypassing). "I love that you are looking specifically at grief—and how holding space for it, infused with the energy of love—which is what Reiki is—is what is most needed now. If we are to contain all that peace requires, we must learn to hold the frequency of heartbreak." — Yael Flusberg, Yoga Therapist and Reiki Master Teacher Show Notes & Resources
