Podcasts about Standing

At a recent event in support of Dharma Moon's Yearlong Buddhist Studies program on January 6th, Ethan was joined by the great Roshi Joan Halifax, to discuss the practice, history and theory of Engaged Buddhism. Why is this integrated approach to the dharma so crucial now? Ethan begins with an impassioned plea after the ICE murder of the Renee Good in Minneapolis to come together as sangha and practice engaged dharma this year. And every time the thought arises "I could do something but it won't really make any difference," please label that thought thinking. Roshi Joan Halifax is Founder, Abbot, and Head Teacher of Upaya, a center which focused on Engaged Buddhism in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Her vision for the Zen Center embraces comprehensive Buddhist studies, meditation, service, dharma art, and environmental action as integrated paths cultivating peace and interconnectedness. She is also the author of multiple books including Standing at The Edge and Being With Dying. In 2025, with your subscriptions, we were able to release more episodes than any previous year.

Today in the Nick Reiner case: his defense just imploded.Alan Jackson, the criminal defense attorney who took Nick's case within hours of his January 6th arrest, told a Los Angeles judge he had "no choice" but to withdraw. He cited circumstances "beyond Nick's control." Sources tell Deadline that money is the issue — but Jackson's exit statement tells a different story.Standing outside the courthouse, Jackson declared: "Pursuant to the laws of California, Nick Reiner is NOT guilty of murder. Print that." That's not a withdrawal statement. That's a closing argument.Nick is now represented by LA County Public Defender Kimberly Greene, who told reporters she'd had about thirty seconds with her new client before the hearing. She said she'd had no contact with the Reiner family and didn't believe they knew Jackson was leaving.On today's episode, attorney and former prosecutor Eric Faddis explains what this withdrawal actually means. What happens to the ten sealed subpoenas Jackson's team issued? Does Greene inherit his investigation? How does a public defender prepare for a capital case on this timeline?We also look at who's prosecuting: Deputy DA Habib Balian, who handled the Menendez resentencing and secured a conviction against Robert Durst. Does the defense chaos give him an opening?Arraignment is now February 23rd. No plea has been entered. The insanity defense is being signaled loudly. And the man accused of killing Rob Reiner and Michele Singer Reiner just lost his hand-picked legal team.This case is moving fast.

Today's Promise: Deuteronomy 1:30-31 Standing on the edge of the Promised Land, the children of God faced a defining moment. The land God promised was rich, fertile, and overflowing with possibility. However, it was also filled with giants. What should have been a step of faith quickly became a crisis of belief.   That story feels uncomfortably familiar, doesn't it? You may not be facing towering warriors, but giants still stand in our way today. Financial pressure. Strained relationships. Fear, doubt, past failures, or overwhelming responsibilities. These giants can make us question God's promises and shrink back when He calls us to move forward.   In this episode, we explore what happens when fear speaks louder than faith, and what changes when we remember who really fights our battles. What if the giants in your life are not there to defeat you, but to reveal the power and faithfulness of God? Discover how trust transforms obstacles into opportunities and fear into victory.    

We are being blasted by noise, but we can still see what really matters. Some is casual and some performative? We need true voices of leadership on our side. Are you reacting or resonating? Be authentic because chaos hates that. This is what happens when deception is your job. There are some questionable people surrounding Mike Lindell. This current wild news cycle is not random. The shutdown was planned to stymie the military. Venezuela was first, Columbia is next. Code Pink and the imported uprisings. Watching them is someone's job. Creating noise and detering plans. A planned sacrifice of a hand picked volunteer. Why Tim Walz? Everyone should check their own state's audits. The Greenland debate heats up again. Did he say Ohio was paying migrant trafficking NGO's? What is Welcoming America? Standing between peace and the abyss. Leaders are seeking to inflame passions. President Trump understands strength. He's ending the biggest war since WWII. The dims need an event real bad. Akbar is fake and gay. He did Karl Rove, ewwwww. Those hanging chads were a planned event. Alex Jones exposed, again. Dim false flags are standard ops. Instability is not the same as lost control. Find your inner peace and get to know the still.

I can well remember as a child singing the great gospel song, “Standing on the Promises”. Maybe you sang it, too. I remember the words well: Standing on the promises of Christ my King, Through eternal ages let his praises ring; Glory in the highest, I will shout and sing, Standing on the promises of God. It's not a song we sing much anymore, but the message is still relevant. As Christ-followers, we can stand on the promises given to us through God's Word. What does that mean—to stand on the promises of God? Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for he who promised is faithful (Hebrews 10:23). Promises are as reliable as the one who makes them. God has made many promises to us, and he never forgets any of them. He is a trustworthy and faithful God. Standing on the promises of God is confident assurance in what God has promised us. That means you keep standing, even when your faith is weak. Hebrews 10:36 exhorts us to keep on patiently doing the Lord's will so that when you have done the will of God, you will receive what he has promised. If your faith is starting to waiver, if you haven't yet seen God's answer to your need, I encourage you to keep standing—keep on doing the Lord's will, and you will receive what he has promised. Ephesians 6:13 says after you have done everything, to stand. Just keep standing on the promises of God. Stand when you're tired; stand when you want to quit and run away; stand when your faith is weak. After you have done everything, keep standing on the promises of God, for he who promised is faithful.

Introducing the Two-Part Podcast ConversationI want to tell you why this song exists and why I gave it away to everyone who participated in the Looking At 2026 call last December.I created this song with my heart, my clarity, allowing the light within rise and become truth — and I'm presenting it to you, one lightworker to another. Yes, YOU.STAND didn't come from a regular songwriting session. It came from a moment of stillness while I looked at what was coming ahead, as I prepared for the Looking at 2026 live stream on December 31st, 2025. The work for these annual calls begins weeks in advance, but there is a line in the sand, close to the end of the year, where everything becomes clear. That familiar moment where something lands so clearly that it doesn't need embellishment. The line in the sand.The song arrived as a compression of everything that showed itself for 2026. Not the details. Not the predictions. The core frequency underneath it all.The core energy that drives all lightworkers forward, to stand. To be.That's why I wanted to continue the conversation into a two-part podcast to STAND — because there was far more in it than could be said in the live stream or even in the lyrics themselves.Yes, STAND is a song.“I feel the ache of watching otherspull themselves apart to choosebut I was never meant to followevery road that leads away from truth”Why STAND is DifferentIf you've listened to the song and felt strangely steady afterward — even if nothing in your outer life changed — that's not accidental.STAND isn't about pushing forward or digging in your heels. It's about recognizing where you already are, who you already are, energetically, and refusing to fragment yourself to keep pace with a large population that's accelerating into chaos and darkness.During Looking at 2026, one thing became very clear to me:this isn't a year that responds to effort — it responds to coherence. It responds to who we are and why we are here.Standing is not passive.Standing is precise.Your Mantra. Say it out loud when you catch yourself indulging in negativity, victim aggressor, blame, fear, all the dark frequencies. “The light within rises and takes form through me”Podcast Part 1: Recognizing the StandIn Part 1 of the podcast, I talk through:* How the song STAND reflects the main pivot that showed up when we looked at 2026* How to remain steady without becoming rigid or defensive* What “standing” actually means energetically — beyond the metaphor* How music can sometimes say the truth before language catches upThis episode is meant to help you notice yourself — not fix anything, not decide anything — just notice where you're already standing, even if you haven't named it yet.Wisdom Keeper Hour (Subscriber Conversation)For those of you who join us in the Wisdom Keeper Hour, the conversation goes deeper and quieter.We explore:* The subtler meanings and energies embedded in the song* What sat beneath the surface of the public-facing 2026 fronts* Why is it time for you to take a stand?* How Larry and the panelists are using this new information and the changes that have already become apparent in their personal lives.This part isn't about learning something new.It's about remembering what you already know.If you missed the live call, you can buy it here and listen to the music. If you were present, the music file and lyrics are already in your email inbox.IneliaThe discussion doesn't stop here - listen to the full podcast episode for unfiltered insights from Inelia and our panelists.

In this episode of Extraordinary Living with Bill & Roger, Bill Gruhlkey explores the biblical stories of Elijah and John the Baptist to highlight the importance of maintaining one's guard and faith in God. Bill emphasizes how Elijah experienced supernatural events but faltered when he let his guard down. Similarly, John the Baptist questioned Jesus' identity while in prison, demonstrating human vulnerability. Bill encourages you to stay rooted in God's word and avoid the pitfalls of offense and envy. He shares personal anecdotes to underline the power of faith, the simplicity of God's guidance, and the significance of knowing His word. The episode concludes with an invitation to deepen your relationship with God and to support the ministry through partnership.   EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS:   00:00 Introduction and Elijah's Journey 00:28 Welcome to Extraordinary Living 00:45 Elijah's Miracles and Challenges 02:29 The Contest on Mount Carmel 07:30 Elijah's Downfall and Lessons 10:26 John the Baptist's Doubts 13:48 The Power of Forgiveness 17:31 The Parable of the Lost Son 27:23 Closing Thoughts and Call to Action   Connect with Bill & Roger Ministries: www.billandroger.com   Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100064668460680

Send us a textStand Out is a call to bold faith in a culture that rewards compromise. The godly are as bold as lions, not because they are loud, but because they are rooted.Daniel and his friends were pressured to blend in, renamed, retrained, and offered comfort in exchange for conviction. They chose obedience over convenience and decided early who they belonged to.Part-time Christianity doesn't hold up under pressure. Standing firm requires intention, discipline, and spiritual armor. Fasting is giving up something important to gain something more important.We all fall short of God's standard, but grace empowers us to stand. Better to be remembered for standing out than forgotten for blending in. Thank you for listening to the Relate Community Church podcast! Don't forget to subscribe so you never miss an episode.

Nicholas "Harry" Callas reacts to a video where stadium officials tried to get members of an entire section to sit down during the Steelers' game against the Baltimore Raves on Sunday.

Welcome to the final episode in the 7-part RESET IN 20 series. In this episode, George takes you inside one of the most vulnerable seasons of his life and teaches the foundational mindset practice that transforms overwhelm into power: standing guard at your lighthouse: your mind, your heart, and your perspective. This isn't about hacks or tactics. It's about reclaiming your agency and choosing what thoughts get access to your lighthouse.Whether you're burned out, uncertain, or just need a reminder of who you are, this episode equips you with a simple but profound way to come back to center and protect what matters most.This isn't just a reset, it's a revival of your inner guard.What You'll Learn in This Episode:Why unchecked thoughts become mental prisonsThe difference between reaction vs. response (and why it matters)How to build your “medicine cabinet” of mindset toolsWhat Jim Rohn, Mike Tyson, and Stephen Furtick all have in common (hint: perspective)Why strategy fails without perspective and how to avoid that trapA live, behind-the-scenes window into how George rebuilds from adversity Key Takeaways:✔️Stand guard at your lighthouse: Protect your mind, heart, and perspective like your life depends on it, because it does.✔️Perspective is the difference between power and prison. You can have the right strategy, but the wrong mindset will sabotage it.✔️Choose to respond, not react. Your past does not deserve to lead your present.✔️Build your mental “medicine cabinet.” Fill it with the tools, books, videos, and reminders that bring you back to center.✔️Clarity doesn't come from chaos. Emotional spirals don't lead to solutions, presence does.✔️Community matters. Surround yourself with a triage team who can remind you who you are when you forget.✔️You only lose when you quit. Keep building your vision, even if it doesn't look like you thought it would.Timestamps & Highlights:[00:00] – “It doesn't matter if it comes from a friend, an enemy, or yourself.

Standing on the edge of God's promise is exciting. It's also terrifying. In Numbers 13, God's people stand at the doorstep of the Promised Land. The land is good. The promise is clear. But fear creeps in, and suddenly, giants look bigger than God. Ten spies focus on what they lack. Two of them remember who God is. In this message, we explore how fear shapes our vision, how faith reframes reality, and why God's vision always calls for a decision before it calls for a plan. The difference between moving forward and shrinking back isn't the size of the obstacle—it's whether we include God in the equation. As Vision Sunday approaches at CityBridge, this passage invites us to ask an honest question: Will we be shaped by fear, or formed by faith?

2026 - 0104 - Standing at the Gate : Prepared For Whats Next

Following God often means crossing lines we've never crossed and facing challenges we've never faced. In the book of Joshua, God leads his people from promise into possession, calling them to trust him completely and obey him faithfully. This story walks through moments of bold faith, costly obedience, unexpected setbacks, and decisive victories, revealing what it truly means to be strong and courageous. As we study Joshua together, we'll discover that courage isn't found in our own strength, but in the unchanging faithfulness of God — the God who keeps his promises, goes before his people, and invites us to follow wherever he leads.

We walk through Romans 5 and uncover why peace with God is not a mood but a verdict—rooted in Christ's finished work and expressed as real-time access to the Father. No courtyards. No curtains. No spiritual middlemen. Just the one Mediator who ushers us into grace and teaches us to stand there.We start with a hard look at “almost righteous” religion and why it breaks people. Justification isn't wishful thinking; it's a complete declaration that wipes the record clean. From there we trace the torn temple veil and the end of barricades—moving from a culture of distance to a life where prayer is a direct line and worship is personal, intimate, and bold. Along the way, we call out the modern impulse to rebuild walls through celebrity spirituality, pay-to-pray gimmicks, and the myth of special access.Standing in grace becomes our new jurisdiction. We explore what it means to live as citizens of grace—investing in the work of grace, interpreting life through hope, and resisting the schemes that seek to push us around. Grace is not only a status; it becomes a spirit that turns a church into a harbor. Gossip gives way to kindness, suspicion to benefit-of-the-doubt, and isolation to encouragement that literally puts courage into people.

As we enter a new year, consider this powerful question: What potential within you has yet to be revealed? What would it mean to draw from your inner resources something unprecedented, to become more than you have been until now?That is a transformative way to enter a new year.Life lives in three dimensions: past, present, and future. Growth means honoring where we've been, understanding where we are, and daring to envision who we can become—materially, emotionally, spiritually, and in our relationships.So on this threshold moment, standing between what was and what can be, ask yourself: What is waiting to be unleashed?Please join Rabbi Simon Jacobson for this special New Year's program as we explore how to unlock the potential within you that has yet to be expressed. This is your moment to step beyond who you were and begin becoming who you are meant to be.

The people you surround yourself with shape how big you allow yourself to dream. In 2026, it is time to stop thinking realistic and start thinking possible. Show Notes In this episode of Shark Theory, Baylor welcomes listeners to 2026 by sharing a powerful moment from a visit to Guitar Center. What started as a simple trip to buy a keyboard became a reminder of who he used to be, who he is now, and why dreaming still matters. Baylor reflects on walking into the same store years ago with no money and nothing but vision. Back then, there was no plan, no strategy, and no idea how life would work out. There was only a dream. Standing in that same place years later, able to buy what once felt impossible, he is reminded that progress often starts long before the plan ever shows up. While there, Baylor observes two scenes that reignite his belief in dreaming. A young musician practicing just to stay sharp, believing one day he will own the instrument he is playing. A father and daughter excitedly buying a pink guitar, each dreaming in their own way. Those moments highlight a critical truth. Being around people with goals is good. Being around people with dreams is different. This episode challenges the word realistic and why it quietly limits potential. Baylor explains how realism is often just someone else's ceiling placed on your life. When accepted long enough, it becomes self imposed limitation. Dreamers, on the other hand, are not anchored to current circumstances. They are anchored to vision. As you enter 2026, Baylor encourages you to audit your goals. Are they based on what feels safe and realistic or are they connected to what you once dreamed was possible. He reminds listeners that aiming higher does not mean failing more. Even falling short of a dream often places you far beyond where a small goal ever could. Finally, Baylor explains that one of the greatest responsibilities of living your dream is helping others live theirs. Whether through encouragement, wisdom, access, or support, helping someone else believe in what could be keeps your own dream alive. What You'll Learn in This Episode • The difference between goal driven energy and dream driven energy • Why realistic thinking quietly limits growth • How being around dreamers expands your vision • Why big dreams matter even without a clear plan • How funding someone else's dream keeps yours alive • Why 2026 should be built on possibility, not limitation Featured Quote "Realistic is just someone else's ceiling that you eventually place on yourself."

In this episode of The Leader's Notebook (Ep. 293) from our seven-part series, The Magnificent Seven, I walk through the astonishing life and ministry of John the Baptist. He stands as the last Old Testament prophet and the first man to publicly identify Jesus as Messiah. His voice rises out of four centuries of prophetic silence, set against the political brutality of Rome and the corruption of Herod. John does not emerge as a stylist or strategist, but as a singular, God-anointed voice preparing the way. He calls a nation to repentance and redefines the Messianic mission as sacrificial redemption. Standing in the Jordan, he declares Jesus to be the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world and the One who baptizes with the Holy Spirit and fire. His courage, clarity, and refusal to measure success by comfort or applause confront our modern assumptions about leadership and faithfulness. John's life reminds us that true success is obedience to God's call, even when it costs everything, and that the highest aim of any leader is to see Jesus clearly and point others to Him. – Dr. Mark Rutland Chapters (00:00:03) - The Leaders Notebook(00:00:26) - John the Baptist and the Taxation(00:01:26) - The Story of the Birth of Jesus(00:07:38) - The Life of Zechariah and the Angel Gabriel(00:15:17) - John 3: Behold the Lamb of God that taketh(00:15:56) - John the Baptist(00:20:25) - John the Baptist's Baptism(00:27:25) - Joel the prophet(00:35:21) - The Personal End of John the Baptist(00:41:06) - John Baptist: A Success or a Failure?

Today on the C-Suite for Christ Podcast, Paul M. Neuberger crashes through the boardroom doors with a message that rips the mask off cultural compromise and exposes every leader's most unavoidable appointment: standing before Jesus Christ, the righteous Judge.Forget the applause. Forget the platforms. Forget the titles. When the final bell rings, your life—not your intentions—will speak for you.Success won't save you. Influence won't insulate you. Eternity is guaranteed. Judgment is coming.Are you living ready? Or are you just running out the clock? Your moment is coming.What will matter is surrender, obedience, truth.Buckle up. This is raw, real, and rooted in Jesus—no excuses, no delays. Let's rise and lead, eternity in view."Just as people are destined to die once, and after that to face judgment."–Hebrews 9:27Episode Highlights:04:07 – It doesn't pause to consider your resume, your intentions or your reputation. It doesn't weigh how busy you were, how stressed you felt, or how unfair life seemed. It's the great equalizer of humanity, the instant where every illusion of control collapses and eternity asserts itself… This is where modern Christianity quietly panics, because we're comfortable with the idea of Jesus as Savior, but deeply uneasy with Jesus as judge. We love the cross, but we avoid the throne. We celebrate forgiveness, but we rarely talk about accountability.13:12 – The most sobering realities that many who assume they're prepared for eternity aren't because they confused familiarity with faith. They knew Christian language, they knew Christian culture, they even knew Christian success. But they never fully surrendered control of their lives to Christ. That delusion feels safe now. It feels affirming. It feels comfortable. But believe me, it's not going to feel safe when you're standing before Jesus.35:30 – Standing before Jesus will not be a surprise to those who lived in light of it. It'll be the natural conclusion of a life orientated toward him. But for those who postponed obedience, delayed repentance, and assumed time would always be available, it's going to be downright devast. This isn't a warning meant to frighten you. It's an invitation meant to save you—an opportunity to live differently while there's still time. Because readiness is not something you claim at the end of life, it is something you practice every day until it ends.Connect with Paul M. NeubergerWebsite

During a raging wildfire, a forest ranger saved a bear cub. At a recovery site safely away from those still fighting the inferno, he placed the rescued animal on the ground. Standing on its tiny back paws, the cub hugged the man’s calf. The ranger gently pried himself away. Mouth wide as if crying out in desperation, the little bear clambered and clawed in an attempt to remain in the refuge of his rescuer’s embrace. As the cub clung to his arm, the kind man relented and rubbed his furry friend’s head. What if we pursued our ultimate rescuer—Jesus—with the same fierce desperation and confidence as the bear cub pursued and clung to the one who saved him from death? All people God made need saving. The psalmist David confessed his need for a rescuer—God, who hears and answers prayers (Psalm 55:1-2). Admitting he faced troubles, threats, suffering, and fear (vv. 3-5), David pursued God with assurance. “As for me, I call to God and the Lord saves me,” he said (v. 16). “Evening, morning and noon I cry out in distress, and he hears my voice” (v. 17). David prayed continually. He believed God listened and trusted that He would rescue him “unharmed” (v. 18). When we face difficulties or suffering of any kind, like David, we can cry out to God. Our loving Rescuer, who pursues us, hears and saves us when we pursue Him too.

Being around family can resurrect versions of you that no longer exist. The urge to binge, drink, collapse, or shrink isn't “comfort”… it's conditioning. It's spiritual warfare in the bloodline trying to pull you back into bondage. You are not your family's limitations, and you are allowed to choose differently.This episode is about not bowing to the old self. Choosing consciousness. Standing in identity. And breaking what ends with you.MAGNETIC AFFIRMATIONS (1HR+): https://21-day-break-up-glow-up-challenge.teachable.com/p/making-mind-magnetic-affirmations-all-eyes-will-be-on-you-793498
