Podcasts about Suffering

In this mind-expanding conversation of Mayim Bialik's Breakdown, Michael A. Singer—legendary author of bestsellers The Untethered Soul, Living Untethered, and The Surrender Experiment, and founder of Temple of the Universe—returns to reveal the real truth behind spiritual awakening...and why most people are getting it wrong. If you've ever wondered what a spiritual awakening actually looks like on a practical, everyday level, this is the breakdown you've been waiting for. Michael shares a step-by-step framework for building your spiritual identity, and explains why awakenings mean nothing unless you can properly integrate them into your daily life. You'll learn why resilience is the #1 key to coping with modern stress, and why every authentic spiritual teacher puts compassion at the forefront of their teachings. Michael reveals how compassion and acceptance are deeply connected—and how this powerful combination leads to cooperation, unity, and humanity's highest good. We also dive into the science behind spirituality, exploring the brain states of acceptance vs. resistance, and how eliminating the distractions of early emotions and personal narratives can open the door to higher consciousness. Michael even explains why we don't matter nearly as much as we think we do—and why that realization is actually the most liberating truth of all. You'll hear his bold perspective on why we must fix ourselves before trying to fix the world, his belief that science is finally catching up to spirituality, and why the power of awe might be the missing ingredient in your spiritual evolution. Michael also breaks down the concept of the higher self, how to access it, and what it truly feels like to live untethered and surrender to the universe (spoiler: it DOESN'T mean blindly accepting everything that happens—he explains the difference). Plus: his surprising proof that rich people are just as unhappy as everyone else, and his heartfelt message for beginners stepping onto the spiritual path for the first time. And for the first time ever, he shares an exclusive announcement and preview of his upcoming book, along with his mind-bending thoughts on where consciousness really lies… and what happens to consciousness when we die. If you're ready to challenge everything you think you know about spirituality, identity, awakening, and the nature of existence itself, this is the episode of MBB you can't afford to miss.

Segment 1 • January 9 is the graveyard for most New Year's resolutions—will yours survive? • Don't just read your Bible—savor it. Slow down and mine for treasure. • God's word is an endless goldmine that you can never exhaust. Segment 2 • Even good, expository preaching can miss the point of the text. • Suffering, submission, and sanctification define the Christian life. • Show up to church expecting God to speak and change you. Segment 3 • 2025 contained so many painful losses. • Parenting - raising and training depraved sinners - is simply hard work. • Hard year or not, Christians still raise their eyes in hope. Segment 4 • 2025 headlines: SCOTUS ruled on abortion pills, the PCA named Kevin DeYoung as moderator. • The Anglican Communion appointed a lesbian archbishop, marking a significant shift. • Global persecution rose, antisemitism surged, and Christian nationalism hit new highs. ___ Thanks for listening!

Part one of our new sermon series Is It True? With Pastor TJ VonWald.

In this last hour of this New Year Monday the guys address the missed kick by the rookie kicker for the Ravens, how much does that fall on the kicker and does Leroy still hold grudges with kickers from when he was a player. Leroy and Brittney won't allow Tobin to imagine if the Canes make it and win the National Championship… It is always strictly TASK AT HAND. We wrap up the show with our favorite Monday game of Alright! Oh No! Leroy lashes out on Tobin and everyone is happy that the Dolphin season has finally come to an end.

In this message, we'll look at some of the doubts John the Baptist began to have about Jesus due to the persecution and imprisonment he was experiencing. In doing so, we'll consider our own doubts and crises of faith, as we look to Jesus and the assurances He provides.   Scripture: Matthew 11:1-19

How to Keep Following Christ When the Cost Is Real If obedience feels harder than it should, this episode will help you hear Christ's voice clearly and take the next faithful step—even without the full picture. In this two-part message from Mark 9:2–13, we explore the biblical pattern of suffering now, glory later. As Jesus reveals His glory in the Transfiguration, He strengthens His disciples to endure the path of obedience rather than escape it. These episodes examine Christian suffering, obedience to Christ, and what it looks like to keep following Jesus through hard seasons—trusting Him without the full picture and believing that the cross comes before the crown. In this episode: What happens after the mountaintop—when obedience still lies ahead Why God's command is not to admire Jesus, but to listen to Him How emotions and internal noise can drown out the Shepherd's voice Why discipleship is built on obedience, not feelings or experiences What the resurrection reveals about suffering and glory Why God rarely gives the full picture before calling us to follow How faith learns to walk with incomplete understanding A practical challenge to take one step of obedience—even in the valley Resources + Links: Visit the site - www.gospeldaily.org to subscribe to our email ➡️ Find additional resources for this sermon at: https://gospeldaily.org/podcast-1444-1445/ ➡️ Read an additional resource from Josh Weidmann entitled: Are We Missing the Point in Suffering?  https://joshweidmann.com/gods-point-in-suffering/ Pastor Josh's Blog Site: www.joshweidmann.com  Series: Encountering Jesus

In this episode: Why the Christian life follows a clear pattern: suffering first, glory later What the Transfiguration reveals—and why it wasn't meant to keep the disciples on the mountain How Mark 9 connects directly to the call of the cross in Mark 8 Why God sometimes gives a glimpse of glory without removing the cost of obedience The difference between curiosity about Jesus and faith in Jesus Why chasing spiritual experiences can weaken discipleship What it means to behold Christ's glory without demanding comfort or clarity How seeing who Jesus truly is prepares us to trust Him in the valley Resources + Links: Visit the site - www.gospeldaily.org to subscribe to our email ➡️ Find additional resources for this sermon at: https://gospeldaily.org/podcast-1444-1445/ ➡️ Read an additional resource from Josh Weidmann entitled: Are We Missing the Point in Suffering?  https://joshweidmann.com/gods-point-in-suffering/ Pastor Josh's Blog Site: www.joshweidmann.com  Series: Encountering Jesus

In this episode of For Soul's Sake, we explore how bhakti invites us to respond to suffering with compassion, rather than asking why it exists. Drawing from the Bhagavad Gita, the Srimad Bhagavatam, and Krishna's pastimes, this talk reminds us that compassion is woven into devotion itself - serving others is serving God.From global tragedies to everyday moments we're tempted to scroll past, we're encouraged to take responsibility through small, sincere acts of care. No act of compassion is ever insignificant.How will you respond when you see suffering today?Want to connect further?Instagram: www.instagram.com/radhika_dasa/Facebook: www.facebook.com/radhikadasmusicYouTube: www.youtube.com/c/RadhikaDasWebsite: www.radhikadas.comPatreon: www.patreon.com/radhikadasLinktree: linktr.ee/radhika_dasa

THE DEATH OF A RANGER AND THE CREATION OF A HERO Colleague Professor Robert G. Parkinson. Michael Cresap marched his riflemen from the frontier to Boston in 1775, where the press hailed them as "secret weapons" against the British. However, these troops proved undisciplined, and Washington privately wished they had not come. Suffering likely from malaria, Cresap fell ill and died in a New York City boarding house in October 1775. Despite being a stranger, New York patriots gave Cresap a massive, lavish funeral at Trinity Church to rally support for the cause. The revolution transformed Cresap from a frontier instigator into a celebrated American patriot. NUMBER 5

THE MOVE TO BEIJING AND XI ZHONGXUN'S 1962 PURGE Colleague Joseph Torigian. This segment explains that the book title comes from Mao's praise of Xi Zhongxun for prioritizing the party despite suffering. It traces the family's move to Beijing, the birth of "favorite son" Xi Jinping, and the father's complex loyalty to Mao. Torigiandetails Xi Zhongxun's 1962 purge, which foreshadowed the Cultural Revolution; he was removed for supporting a novel about martyr Liu Zhidan, which Mao viewed as a challenge. NUMBER 12

GRAHAM CHRISTIE AND THE RISE OF MILITARISM Colleague Charles Spicer. Graham Christie is introduced as a brilliant WWI air ace and engineer who, after suffering from war trauma, dedicated himself to understanding Germany and feeding intelligence to Sir Robert Vansittart, the head of the British Foreign Office. By 1935, the British protagonists were appalled by the Nuremberg Laws but chose to lobby their German contacts privately, arguing that such discrimination was bad for business. As Germany rearmed, Christie utilized his friendship with fellow aviator Hermann Göring to gather intelligence on the Luftwaffe, consistently warning London of the military buildup. Christie even provided advance warning of the Rhineland remilitarization in 1936, a moment historians view as the greatest missed opportunity to stop Hitler, had Britain not been paralyzed by pacifist sentiment.

What happens when a psychiatrist trained in one of the most research-driven programs in the world starts asking questions nobody wants to answer? Dr. John Yaakov Guterson is a board-certified psychiatrist who trained at the prestigious Western Psychiatric Institute and Clinic in Pittsburgh, once the top-funded psychiatric research program in the world. He served as medical director of multiple psychiatric hospitals for over 25 years while maintaining a private practice. Known as "The Singing Psychiatrist," Dr. Guterson has produced over 750 videos exploring the intersection of mental health, spirituality, and the human soul. In this conversation, we go where mainstream psychiatry refuses to go. We talk about what gets lost when you reduce the human soul to a checklist of symptoms. We explore whether suffering might actually mean something. And we ask a question the medical establishment has worked very hard to bury: What if we've been getting this wrong for a century?

Fr Jim Rolph reflects on suffering and Michael Pakaluk discusses everyday holiness.

Welcome to The Daily, where we study the Bible verse by verse, chapter by chapter, every day. And Happy New Year—today is January 1, 2026! As we step into a new year of studying God's Word, let's begin by asking Him to renew our courage and conviction. Read more about Project23 and partner with us as we teach every verse of the Bible on video. Our text today is Judges 19:24-26. "Behold, here are my virgin daughter and his concubine; let me bring them out now. Violate them and do with them what seems good to you, but against this man do not do this outrageous thing." But the men would not listen to him. So the man seized his concubine and made her go out to them. And they knew her and abused her all night until the morning. And as the dawn began to break, they let her go. And as morning appeared, the woman came and fell down at the door of the man's house where her master was, until it was light." — Judges 19:24-26 The horror of this passage is hard to read. The Levite—a man we might call a pastor today—shows no concern for his "girlfriend". He once pursued her, but not out of love—out of pride and control. When danger came, he threw her to the mob to save himself and then slept through the night while she suffered. The "pastor" slept through sin and suffering, proving that apathy is just as dangerous as outright evil. The old man was no better, offering his own daughter to protect his reputation. Both men reflected a world that had lost God's heart—where leadership was selfish, morality was twisted, and compassion had collapsed. We see this same crisis today. Some pulpits have gone silent while the culture burns. Many churches have grown comfortable, preaching peace while ignoring perversion. Leaders fear cancelation more than conviction, and believers trade boldness for belonging. It's the same sickness—call it the "Levite spirit"—that values comfort over courage and self-preservation over sacrifice. When those called to lead stop leading, darkness fills the void. When shepherds sleep, the sheep scatter. This is why we must awaken. Apathy may look harmless, but it's not. It destroys us, the church, the culture, and the innocent. The Church must rise again—not in outrage, but in obedience. We must stand for life, truth, and purity before compromise becomes collapse. Now is the time to take courage. To speak the truth. To defend the innocent. To reject passive faith and rise up in active conviction. And as we step into a new year, let this be our spiritual reset. The world may celebrate resolutions, but we resolve to stand for righteousness, to begin this year with conviction that does not waver and courage that does not fade. ASK THIS: Who in your life is suffering because of someone's silence? Where have you chosen comfort over courage? What fears keep you from standing up for what's right? How can you defend the vulnerable in your circle this week? DO THIS: Identify one injustice or moral issue you've ignored—pray and take one small stand this week. Talk to your family about courage—teach them that silence is never neutral. Practice boldness in small things so you'll be ready for big ones. PRAY THIS: Lord, wake me up from complacency. Give me courage to stand for the innocent and to speak truth when it costs me. Let my faith be marked by conviction, not convenience. Amen. PLAY THIS: "Take Courage."

What prepares faith for life's hardest trials? In this episode of Light + Truth, John Piper opens Job 1–2 to show how knowing God's purpose keeps us steady when pain strikes.

"Don't confuse sacrifice and discipline with suffering." Ryan Clark Where did the time go? 2025 is wrapping up as we get ready to embrace the new endeavors, challenges and our biggest pivots that lie ahead in 2026! Ryan, Channing and Fred close out the year reflecting on the past 12 months of sports' biggest stories, headlines that dominated our feeds and personal milestones we embraced. We take account of our own self growth, missteps and ways we want to be better going forward knowing that perfection is an illusion, discipline and sacrifice are required for success and we take deep dive into the chaotic sports world. FBI takes on sports gambling, Luka trade to Dallas, Micah Parsons to Green Bay, Kansas City misses post season, Travis Kelce, Shedeur Sanders frenzy and the fall of Sean Diddy Combs...2025 had it's share of the unexpected and we discuss the impact of it all while the guys keep it real on the current state of the NFL. Channing says how the AFC North isn't what it used to be, Ryan says DK Metcalf incident could cost the Steelers their season and Fred weighs in on the possible end of the Chiefs dynasty. Pivoting to family, we talk about the vulnerable sides of parenting, from walking the line between wanting the best for our kids to pushing them too hard and how in the end happiness is the only true measure of how it turns out.
