Send us a textDan Sachkowsky is a New Jersey–based entrepreneur, speaker, and business coach who has built, scaled, and sold multiple multimillion-dollar companies across the construction and real estate industries. By the age of 24, he had already made millions — but just as fast as he rose, he lost it all, going bankrupt and being forced to rebuild his life and his businesses from the ground up. That moment became the foundation of everything he teaches today: that true success isn't about money — it's about mastery, discipline, and resilience.After surviving a massive heart attack in 2022, Dan's perspective shifted once again. He rebuilt not just his business, but his purpose — dedicating his life to helping others build freedom-driven companies and unbreakable mindsets. Today, he's the founder of Big D Coaching, host of The Big D Podcast and The Intrepidus Podcast, and creator of The 7-Figure Blueprint Syndicate — a high-performance movement combining live events, masterminds, and coaching for entrepreneurs ready to build wealth, freedom, and legacy the right way.Known for his raw truth, no-BS delivery, and ability to turn pain into power, Dan's message centers around his three guiding pillars: Wealth, Freedom, and Relentless Execution. His story of losing everything, rebuilding, and coming back stronger has inspired countless entrepreneurs to take full ownership of their lives and transform their suffering into strength.Find Dan SachkowskyWebsiteInstagramPodcastFind The Suffering PodcastThe Suffering Podcast InstagramKevin Donaldson InstagramTom Flynn InstagramApple PodcastSpotifyYouTubeSupport the showThe Suffering Podcast Instagram Kevin Donaldson Instagram TikTok YouTube

In this conversation, Stewart Alsop sits down with Ken Lowry to explore a wide sweep of themes running through Christianity, Protestant vs. Catholic vs. Orthodox traditions, the nature of spirits and telos, theosis and enlightenment, information technology, identity, privacy, sexuality, the New Age “Rainbow Bridge,” paganism, Buddhism, Vedanta, and the unfolding meaning crisis; listeners who want to follow more of Ken's work can find him on his YouTube channel Climbing Mount Sophia and on Twitter under KenLowry8.Check out this GPT we trained on the conversationTimestamps00:00 Christianity's tangled history surfaces as Stewart Alsop and Ken Lowry unpack Luther, indulgences, mediation, and the printing-press information shift.05:00 Luther's encounters with the devil lead into talk of perception, hallucination, and spiritual influence on “main-character” lives.10:00 Protestant vs. Catholic vs. Orthodox worship styles highlight telos, Eucharist, liturgy, embodiment, and teaching as information.15:00 The Church as a living spirit emerges, tied to hierarchy, purpose, and Michael Levin's bioelectric patterns shaping form.20:00 Spirits, goals, Dodgers-as-spirit, and Christ as the highest ordering spirit frame meaning and participation.25:00 Identity, self, soul, privacy, intimacy, and the internet's collapse of boundaries reshape inner life.30:00 New Age, Rainbow Bridge, Hawkins' calibration, truth-testing, and spiritual discernment enter the story.35:00 Stewart's path back to Christianity opens discussion of enlightenment, Protestant legalism, Orthodox theosis, and healing.40:00 Emptiness, relationality, Trinity, and personhood bridge Buddhism and mystical Christianity.45:00 Suffering, desire, higher spirits, and orientation toward the real sharpen the contrast between simulation and reality.50:00 Technology, bodies, AI, and simulated worlds raise questions of telos, meaning, and modern escape.55:00 Neo-paganism, Hindu hierarchy of gods, Vedanta, and the need for a personal God lead toward Jesus as historical revelation.01:00:00 Buddha, enlightenment, theosis, the post-1945 world, Hitler as negative pole, and goodness as purpose close the inquiry.Key InsightsMediation and information shape the Church. Ken Lowry highlights how the printing press didn't just spread ideas—it restructured Christian life by shifting mediation. Once information became accessible, individuals became the “interface” with Christ, fundamentally changing Protestant, Catholic, and Orthodox trajectories and the modern crisis of religious choice.The Protestant–Catholic–Orthodox split hinges on telos. Protestantism orients the service around teaching and information, while Catholic and Orthodox traditions culminate in the Eucharist, embodiment, and liturgy. This difference expresses two visions of what humans are doing in church: receiving ideas or participating in a transformative ritual that shapes the whole person.Spirits, telos, and hierarchy offer a map of reality. Ken frames spirits as real intelligible goals that pull people into coordinated action—seen as clearly in a baseball team as in a nation. Christ is the highest spirit because aiming toward Him properly orders all lower goals, giving a coherent vertical structure to meaning.Identity, privacy, and intimacy have transformed under the internet. The shift from soul → self → identity tracks changes in information technology. The internet collapses boundaries, creating unprecedented exposure while weakening the inherent privacy of intimate realities such as genuine lovemaking, which Ken argues can't be made public without destroying its nature.New Age influences and Hawkins' calibration reflect a search for truth. Stewart's encounters with the Rainbow Bridge world, David Hawkins' muscle-testing epistemology, and the escape from scientistic secularism reveal a cultural hunger for spiritual discernment in the absence of shared metaphysical grounding.Enlightenment and theosis may be the same mountain. Ken suggests that Buddhist enlightenment and Orthodox theosis aim at the same transformative reality: full communion with what is most real. The difference lies in Jesus as the concrete, personal revelation of God, offering a relational path rather than pure negation or emptiness.Secularism is shaped by powerfully negative telos. Ken argues that the modern world orients itself not toward the Good revealed in Christ but away from the Evil revealed in Hitler. Moving away from evil as a primary aim produces confusion, because only a positive vision of the Good can order desires, technology, suffering, and the overwhelming power of modern simulations.

Paul gives thanks for the way the Thessalonians received his preaching as the very Word of God. That Word has brought forth fruit in Thessalonica as the congregation there was joined to the rest of the Church in suffering for the sake of Christ. Paul encourages the Thessalonians to remain faithful to the Lord even in suffering, knowing that God will bring justice and vindication on the Last Day to those who oppose Him.  Rev. Matt Wietfeldt, Assistant Vice President of Admissions at Concordia Theological Seminary in Ft. Wayne, IN, joins host Rev. Timothy Appel to study 1 Thessalonians 2:13-16.  To learn more about Concordia Theological Seminary, visit ctsfw.edu. “Yearning for the Day of Christ's Returning” is a mini-series on Sharper Iron that studies St. Paul's two epistles to the Thessalonians. Although Paul's time in Thessalonica was brief, he had great affection for the Christians there. His two letters to the Thessalonians show us the joy that God gives us together in the Church and encourage us to live faithfully in expectation of Jesus' coming on the Last Day.  Sharper Iron, hosted by Rev. Timothy Appel, looks at the text of Holy Scripture both in its broad context and its narrow detail, all for the sake of proclaiming Christ crucified and risen for sinners. Two pastors engage with God's Word to sharpen not only their own faith and knowledge, but the faith and knowledge of all who listen. Submit comments or questions to: listener@kfuo.org

Send us a textJames 5:1–8Warning to the Rich[1] Come now, you rich, weep and howl for the miseries that are coming upon you. [2] Your riches have rotted and your garments are moth-eaten. [3] Your gold and silver have corroded, and their corrosion will be evidence against you and will eat your flesh like fire. You have laid up treasure in the last days. [4] Behold, the wages of the laborers who mowed your fields, which you kept back by fraud, are crying out against you, and the cries of the harvesters have reached the ears of the Lord of hosts. [5] You have lived on the earth in luxury and in self-indulgence. You have fattened your hearts in a day of slaughter. [6] You have condemned and murdered the righteous person. He does not resist you.Patience in Suffering[7] Be patient, therefore, brothers, until the coming of the Lord. See how the farmer waits for the precious fruit of the earth, being patient about it, until it receives the early and the late rains. [8] You also, be patient. Establish your hearts, for the coming of the Lord is at hand. (ESV)#spartanburg #apostolic #romancatholic #apostolicbiblestudytime #epistleofjames #caci

How can a loving God allow so much suffering, and how can we know our salvation is secure? In this episode, Dr. John Neufeld addresses two questions that strike at the heart of God's love for His people. He explains why suffering exists in a fallen world and reveals five ways God uses it for our good. Dr. Neufeld then tackles assurance of salvation, pointing us away from confidence in ourselves and toward the finished work of Christ.I've Got Questions: In this thought-provoking series, Dr. John Neufeld tackles the real questions people are asking today—from the exclusivity of Christ to the problem of suffering, from biblical authority to assurance of salvation. Rather than offering quick answers, he uses each question as a bridge back to the foundational truths of Scripture. Dr. Neufeld equips believers to build their faith on solid ground while engaging honestly with the challenges of our contemporary world.

We usually don't see suffering as providing blessings in our lives. Yet that is what we will see as we conclude having a conversation about Joseph. The way we see the blessings in the suffering is with right perspective. That's the conversation we will have today.

The prayers of Paul often stir us–not because of what he prays, but what is absent in his prayers. In this prayer, Paul challenges us to seek a God glorifying demeanor amid all of our circumstances.

This week at LYA, we explored a framework for when life doesn't make sense and God feels silent. Through Isaiah 40 and Austin's story of waiting, loss, and redemption, we learned that God's mission is bigger than our circumstances, our mission is to glorify Him, and our Father can be trusted even when He doesn't give explanations. God may not rescue us from every trial, but He promises to be with us in it—and He gives purpose to our suffering. Join us every Tuesday in the LSM Building @ 7 p.m. & follow us on Instagram for all important updates @lyahampton.

Isabella Young is a pioneering educator, healer and truth-seeker whose life journey is nothing short of wow. Seventeen years ago, she escaped from a messianic cult after her son was murdered to prevent the cult leader (her ex-husband) from being exposed as a pedophile, rapist and conman. And daringly, we are putting his name here as he is still practicing: Louix Dor Demprey. She was in the cult eight, harsh years. We discuss her knowing that all of this was spiritual (taking full responsibility for her soul). We also speak of AI, the demonic truths of the world and at the end we really get into the power of nature from the sun to grounding. She speaks of this thoroughly in the "Just Be Practice." OOo and then there is also raising the prism.Isabella's Links:Website: https://feelingbetternaturally.loveYouTube: Feeling Better Naturally - https://www.youtube.com/@feelingbetternaturally.natureSubstack: https://feelingbetternaturally.substack.com*Host Eden Koz is a soul realignment specialist utilizing psychological empathy, intuition, psychic ability, mediumship, meditation, mindset shift, Reiki, dimensional and galactic healing, to name a few.

Who is the God you serve? Each of us is tempted to ignore the whole reality of who God is, as displayed in Scripture. It is easy for us to focus on the attributes of God that make us feel good and comfortable. In this passage, Paul challenges the Thessalonians to behold their God in his fullness.

"Life is suffering" may be a Noble Truth, but it feels like a deepity. Yes, obviously life includes suffering. But it also includes happiness. Many people live good and happy lives, and even people with hard lives experience some pleasant moments. This is the starting point of many people's objection to Buddhism. They continue: if nirvana is just a peaceful state beyond joy or suffering, it sounds like a letdown. An endless gray mist of bare okayness, like death or Britain. If your life was previously good, it's a step down. Even if your life sucked, maybe you would still prefer the heroism of high highs and low lows to eternal blah. Against all this, many Buddhists claim to be able to reach jhana, a state described as better than sex or heroin - and they say nirvana is even better than that. Partly it's better because jhana is temporary and nirvana permanent, but it's also better on a moment-to-moment basis. So nirvana must mean something beyond bare okayness. But then why the endless insistence that life is suffering and the best you can do is make it stop? I don't know the orthodox Buddhist answer to this question. But I got the rationalist techno-Buddhists' answer from lsusr a few months ago, and found it, uh, enlightening. He said: mental valence works like temperature. Naively, there are two kinds of temperature: hot and cold. When an environment stops being hot, then it's neutral - "room temperature" - neither hot nor cold. After that, you can add arbitrary amounts of coldness, making it colder and colder. https://www.astralcodexten.com/p/in-what-sense-is-life-suffering

Our Purpose: To go from Selfishness to Selflessness In this episode of Round Trip Death, Eric welcomes Marilynn Hughes, whose powerful NDE (Near Death Experience) forever changed her life and faith.

She was shown multiple realms, a spiritual “measure” of how souls progress from selfishness to selflessness, and was given the choice to stay in the afterlife or return to her young children.Though Jesus told her He would not heal her heart, He promised to help her—and upon awakening, doctors found her heart had unexpectedly improved, eventually leading to a complete, medically inexplicable recovery years later.Marilynn shares what it felt like to hold Jesus' hand—like falling into infinite, unconditional love—and explains that earth life is designed to teach selflessness through real experiences, relationships, challenges, and even suffering.She offers a message of hope: that each of us can help change the world not by controlling others, but by transforming ourselves and choosing to interact with life from a higher, more loving place. No longer fearing death, Marilyn looks forward to the profound love she once experienced and assures listeners that this love awaits us all.VIDEO VERSION: https://youtu.be/LBpwZxmwups______________Rula patients typically pay $15 per session when using insurance.

As we continue to follow the missions of Paul and Barnabas, Fr. Mike highlights the fickle nature of humanity and the futility of striving for the praise of men. He also encourages us to remain courageous in the tribulations we face, finding strength in other believers, and running toward the eternal and imperishable goal of salvation. Today's readings are Acts 14, 1 Corinthians 9-10, and Proverbs 28:7-9. For the complete reading plan, visit ascensionpress.com/bibleinayear.

Have you ever been asked, “If there's a good God, why is there so much death and suffering?” Well, Genesis tells us.

(Spirit Rock Meditation Center)

This week, we will be studying Genesis 37 under the theme “Big Dreams, Much Pride, and a Sovereign God.” We see Joseph's pride and his father's favoritism create a toxic environment where his brothers' envy boils over, resulting in his betrayal and being sold into slavery. In the midst of this profound evil and suffering, the account reveals the unwavering sovereignty of God, who is working even through the worst human actions, our deepest valleys of suffering, and our most confusing detours to accomplish his purposes.Series Summary: Our fall worship series will lead us through the Book of Genesis, arguably the most profound, insightful text in human history. Over this series, we'll uncover how the narratives of Genesis reveal God's design for creation, humanity, relationships, and purpose. We'll explore truths that continue to shape our lives today, from the Garden of Eden to the promise of redemption.Add St. Marcus as your church on the Church Center App!Fill out our online connection cardHow can we pray for you?

As therapists, we often get questions like, "Why did ______ have to happen? What did I do to make it happen? Why did God allow this to happen to me?"   Suffering is the one thing we all do not want to experience, yet it is the one thing we are all guaranteed to experience.  Knowing this, it is important to know why and also how we are to engage in suffering. Join Aron Strong and Lindsey Castleman, both LMFTs and co-founders of inRelationship, as they discuss the theology of suffering.  Our conversation kept going, so we broke it up in to part one and part two.  We pray this is helpful!  Connect with us at inRelationship.us

Send us a textIan Jones - Father, Husband, Writer, Amateur Mycologist, Student of ResilienceIan Jones is a former chemical engineer turned writer, creator, and storyteller exploring how science, psychology, and personal transformation intersect. For two decades, he worked in major accident prevention and incident investigation. Those experiences taught him how systems fail, how to handle vulnerability honestly, and how truth emerges under pressure.After stepping away from engineering to raise his twin daughters, Ian began refocusing his life and sense of purpose. What followed was a personal journey through emotional exhaustion, suicidal ideation, to recovery, shaped by Stoic philosophy, mindfulness, and the therapeutic potential of psychedelic microdosing.Today, Ian channels that journey into his creative work with New Solutions Network (NSN), founded by his wife, Natanya Wachtel, whose mission centers on mental well-being, authenticity, and social impact with media, technology and behavioral science tools to unlock human potential.As host of the video podcast Sexy Science Time, Ian blends curiosity and vulnerability to make complex science relatable, while his writing amplifies the voices of others featured in NSN projects such as Psych + Hip Hop, The Ryan Show, and #GameMindset.An amateur mycologist and certified fungal ecologist, Ian also explores the hidden intelligence of fungi, both as living organisms and as metaphors for human resilience and interconnectedness.From childhood bullying and a suicide attempt at age ten to navigating trauma and rediscovering meaning through love, family, and creative purpose, Ian's story embodies The Suffering Podcast's core belief: that adversity, when met with courage and reflection, can become the root system for growth.For Ian, suffering is a tool for growth; it's the soil from which understanding and purpose emerge.Find The Suffering PodcastThe Suffering Podcast InstagramKevin Donaldson InstagramTom Flynn InstagramApple PodcastSpotifyYouTubeThe Suffering Podcast FamiSupport the showThe Suffering Podcast Instagram Kevin Donaldson Instagram TikTok YouTube
