Podcasts about Tension

Patrick takes listeners through the clash of faith and today’s cultural upheavals, threading stories of workplace pressure, gender debates, and the bewildering landscape parents face with children swept up in modern trends. Questions pour in—about happiness, about loyalty to church, about authenticity when surrounded by confusion—and Patrick responds with humor, candor, and stubborn hope. Tension, gravity, even absurdity pulse through every exchange as Patrick stands firm, suggesting practical resources and reminding listeners what it means to hold on to truth when everything feels upside down. Working for a woke company (00:20) Patrick shares emails that have come into the show this morning (05:02) Devin (email) - Do the angels in Heaven have sexes like human beings do? (22:07) Ronnie – Where do all the descendants of the Bible come from if Cain killed Abel? (26:43) Gender dolls are real and they are grooming children - https://x.com/libsoftiktok/status/2081213021439836256 (29:59) Teresa - I am just appalled by this whole gender doll thing. Also, I go to a church where there transexual people. What should I say to the pastor? (49:37)

שִׁבְטֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל vs. כְּלַל יִשְׂרָאֵל

As we continue exploring the contrast between the Kingdom of God and the Kingdom of the World, we begin asking the practical questions that expose where our true allegiance lies. How do we speak about ourselves? Do we seek recognition, status, and influence—or do we quietly point others to Christ? How do we treat the undeserving, the overlooked, and the downcast? Do we show the same honor to the poor that we readily give to the wealthy? Is wealth a prerequisite for influence, respect, or significance in our eyes? Do we seek to lord our authority over others, or do we pursue greatness by becoming servants—even in the lowest and least visible places? Do we follow the world's pattern of self-promotion, boasting, and ambition? Or do we follow the humble example of Christ, who emptied Himself, took the form of a servant, and laid down His life for others? Join us as we continue examining the radically different values of the Kingdom of God and the Kingdom of the World—and discover how the Gospel challenges not only what we believe, but how we live. Because the best conversations happen after class.

Matthew Longo, The Picnic: A Dream of Freedom and the Collapse of the Iron Curtain. As the picnic date of August 19, 1989, approaches, the atmosphere is "fraught" with tension. Thousands of East Germans (GDR) have flooded into Hungary, pretending to be on summer vacation but actually acting as refugees hoping for a chance to cross into the West. They camp at places like Ferto Rakos, where they are stalked by Stasi informers who take down names and instill terror. Meanwhile, in Budapest, Miklos Nemeth and other reformers view the picnic as "Operation Human Shield"—a test to see if the nearby Soviet army will intervene. On the day of the picnic, two unlikely heroes emerge: Norbert, a hard-drinking West German adventurer with a scars-and-mercenary past, and Agnes, an elderly local woman. Because Norbert has a West German passport and Agnes is too old to fear the state, they act as "guardian angels," helping terrified East Germans navigate the borderlands. The event itself is chaotic and plagued by rain, resembling a "Woodstock" in the woods. When a mass of nearly a thousand East Germans suddenly rushes the border gate, a moment of extreme panic occurs as champagne bottles pop; many refugees, conditioned by fear, mistake the sound for gunshots. However, the Hungarian border guards make a "tremendous moral choice" not to shoot, allowing the mass of people to flee into Austriawithout a single drop of bloodshed. (3)1956

https://teachhoops.com/ TeachHoops Podcast Show NotesEpisode Title Soccer Fans Waited 106 Minutes for One Goal. You Can't Handle a 45 Second Possession? Spain just won the World Cup 1-0 with the only goal coming in the 106th minute, and over a billion people called it a masterpiece. Meanwhile, if a high school team holds the ball for 45 seconds, the gym loses its mind and the shot clock debate explodes all over again. In this episode, Coach Collins uses the biggest sporting event on the planet to take a hard, honest look at the shot clock argument: what the critics get wrong, what they get right, why tempo control is a strategy and not a crime, and how to actually coach late clock situations whether your state has a clock or not. If you coach at a school that doesn't reload with talent every year, this one is for you. The World Cup final was two hours of patience, tension, and one moment of quality. Nobody demanded soccer speed up. Basketball gets no such grace. Coach breaks down why the stall is strategy, why the shot clock rewards rosters more than coaching, why the clock is coming anyway, and the specific skills coaches need to teach to win with one. 00:00 | Cold Open: The Most Watched 1-0 Game in History Spain 1, Argentina 0. Scoreless through 90 minutes. Ferran Torres finally scores in the 106th minute of extra time. Argentina finishes the World Cup final with zero shots on goal. And the world called it beautiful. Set the hook: why does soccer get celebrated for patience while basketball gets crucified for it? 05:30 | The Double Standard Scarcity creates drama. Tension creates drama. Soccer fans understand that every scoring chance matters BECAUSE scoring is rare. Basketball somewhere decided more shots equals better basketball. Push back on that. More shots just equals more shots. 11:00 | What the Stall Actually Is (A Coach's Defense of Tempo) Personal stories from 30 years at Memorial. Times I held the ball. Times it was held on me. Why slowing the game down is the great equalizer for the shorter team, the undermanned team, the school without the AAU pipeline. Strategy, not cowardice. 19:00 | The Uncomfortable Truth About Who the Shot Clock Helps The clock does not reward good coaching. It rewards good rosters. Walk through it honestly: force a shot every 35 seconds and the more talented team wins more often, period. If you coach at a have-not program, the clock takes a weapon out of your hands. 26:00 | The Other Side of the Argument (Being Fair About It) Steelman the pro clock case. Players want to play the way they watch. Every level above high school uses one. Recruiting and player development arguments. End of game farming and intentional fouling ugliness that the clock genuinely cleans up. Acknowledge what's real here. 33:00 | The Clock Is Coming. Now What? The debate is basically over in most states, so stop fighting yesterday's war. The coaches who win with a shot clock are the ones who start TEACHING it. Late clock offense sets. Time and score situations as a daily drill, not a February surprise. Defending the last 8 seconds of the clock. Turning the clock into YOUR weapon. 41:00 | Practice Ideas This Week Three specific things to install: a 10 seconds left "get a good one" action, a scripted possession value drill where turnovers cost double, and a defensive late clock scramble drill. Keep it concrete so coaches leave with homework. 47:00 | The Real Lesson From Sunday The final wasn't great because of shot volume. It was great because two teams executed under pressure for two hours and one moment of quality decided it. That's the standard with or without a clock: value the ball, treat every possession like currency, patience is a weapon and panic is a choice. 50:00 | Wrap Up and CTA "Spain didn't score for 105 minutes and won the whole thing. Your team can survive a 58 second possession." "The shot clock doesn't reward good coaching. It rewards good rosters." "Scarcity creates drama. When scoring is hard, every possession means something." "The coaches who win with a shot clock are the ones who stop complaining about it and start teaching it." Tempo control is strategy, and it's the underdog's best weapon. The shot clock helps talented rosters more than it helps good coaches. The pro clock arguments are real too: player development, cleaner endings, alignment with every higher level. The debate is ending, so shift your energy from arguing to installing late clock offense and defense. Every possession is currency. Teach it that way in practice, every day. Does your state have a shot clock, and has it actually changed how you coach late game situations? Drop your state and your honest answer.

Everyone tells you to release tension. But if you live with panic disorder, OCD, or health anxiety, that advice can backfire fast. This week we're digging into why chasing relaxation as a goal often makes tension worse, and what actually helps instead.We're talking about why physical tension is a normal response to stress and fear, not a problem to fix. Why techniques like jaw stretches, massage, and meditation can turn into more monitoring and checking. And why sometimes the fastest way through tension is to stop trying to manage how you feel and put your attention somewhere else entirely.Plus listener Did It Anyway stories from Florida, Estonia, and Germany, because sometimes the only way through is to just do the thing anyway.--Want to talk about what you heard in this episode?

The stories we tell ourselves can change the course of our lives. When you keep saying, “I'm not good enough,” or “It's too late for me,” "That's just who I am,” —sooner or later, it can become your reality. What if the biggest obstacle standing between you and the life you want isn't your abilities or circumstances, but the story you've been telling yourself all along? So how do you challenge—and change—the narrative that keeps you stuck? That's exactly what this episode is all about.Bea Lim is the President and CEO of TeamAsia, an award- winning strategic marketing agency that has helped brands and communities become more visible for over 30 years.

Shaun Morash and Tiki Barber debate whether the MLB All Star Game was truly boring or simply a low scoring display of pitching and defense. They question the lack of star power, react to the unusual cast of pitchers deciding the game, and hear from callers who saw the night very differently. The conversation also features an outrageous Yankees trade proposal, an emotional Giants memory, and a closer look at the relationship between Francisco Lindor and Juan Soto. Tiki explains why teammates do not need to be close friends to succeed together, as long as mutual respect and a shared commitment remain.

Tension-first. Functions as a trailer. The listener must hear the episode to get the answers. Jess Loseke spent 16 hours last weekend on her employee handbook. With AI. Your first question is probably the same as ours: why would that take 16 hours with AI? That is the wrong question. The right one is harder to sit with. "What is a pain to me are the things that are not getting done in my business because I cannot afford to hire for them. Those are the things that are killing the growth of my business right now." Jess Loseke, Co-founder, Midwest Barrel Company Jess co-founded Midwest Barrel Company, the first company to put a barrel (think Bourbon or Whiskey) on the internet. She runs lean, she's tech-forward, and she's ignoring the most common piece of AI advice right now. She's not starting with her most repetitive tasks. She's starting somewhere that, on the surface, sounds like the wrong place. Her business partner has a PhD. He's the best salesperson she's ever met. He sat down in a meeting and said, "I'm failing to see how I'm going to use this in sales." If a co-founder at an AI-forward company is saying that, what does it mean for the rest of us? Jess has an answer. It starts with a number: 75%. And it changes the math on what "good enough" means when the alternative is zero. This conversation with host Erik Martinez goes somewhere most AI conversations don't.

The intimate hall pass grows out of a verdict the nervous system reached long ago. One person cannot possibly carry the full weight of another's needs. From that verdict comes the agreement. One night. One third body. Official clearance. The counterintuitive truth sits underneath. The current partner has not failed at satiation. They have succeeded at exposure. They have watched the exact moments your signal thins. They carry the accumulated memory of when the exiled parts rise and get quickly managed. That sustained witness turns the relationship into a threat to the concealment strategy. The hall pass removes the threat. It routes the hunger to someone whose eyes have not yet cataloged your particular map. The new person receives the version you still control. The body discharges. Relief registers as peace. This arrangement never expands the original room. It preserves the wound's right to remain partially hidden. Revelation was always the actual point of the bond. The pass interrupts that point by importing a witness who lacks the shared history to see past the performance. The peace that follows is real but narrow. It comes from completion without the difficult labor of staying inside the interval where the full self stands exposed. The body signals the move before the conversation starts. Tension gathers. The fantasy arrives. One night elsewhere will quiet this pressure. The calculation repeats an old kata. It chooses fresh territory over the harder work of turning the ground already occupied. Radical questions meet the body where it tightens. What exact sensation moves through you when the idea of granting or taking the pass first appears. Which hidden dimension does the steady partner keep bringing forward. How does the outsider's inexperience with your history become the main advantage. What ongoing interior demand does the short peace let you sidestep. If the relationship exists to reveal what lives inside why recruit a witness who sees less. The gate occupies that exact moment of discomfort. Leaving the room only extends the distance you eventually have to travel back. Staying present with what has already been seen begins the rewiring that makes real satiation possible.

Most leaders think they need another skill, another framework, or maybe one more leadership book stacked on the nightstand for "future growth." Ryan Watts thinks the real issue is often deeper than that. In this episode of Unlocked, Skot Waldron talks with Ryan Watts about the internal negotiations leaders carry around every day. The replayed conversations. The overthought emails. The quiet question of, "Do I really have the authority to say this?" That tension can make leadership feel heavier than it needs to be. Ryan unpacks how leaders can move from forced momentum to calm authority, why confidence and conviction are connected, and how naming the tension can create the clarity leaders are looking for. If you have ever looked successful on the outside while feeling tangled up on the inside, this one will feel uncomfortably useful in the best way.

Tension in the Home — Every family experiences seasons of stress, misunderstandings, and conflict. In this episode, we discuss how to navigate tension God's way by working as a team instead of opponents, remembering that not every disagreement is a major crisis, trusting the Lord through difficult moments, and making follow-up conversations a priority. Healthy homes aren't built by avoiding conflict, they're built by handling it with grace, humility, and biblical wisdom.

As we continue to celebrate the 250th birthday of the U.S., we're revisiting author interviews on important books about American history. In Eddie Glaude's new book, the Princeton professor says the United States has a “double consciousness.” Glaude expands on a concept from W.E.B. Du Bois, arguing the country imagines itself at once as a beacon of freedom and as a white republic. In today's episode, Glaude joins Here & Now's Scott Tong for a conversation about America, U.S.A., which traces that contradiction as it has bubbled up across the country's milestone birthdays.To listen to Book of the Day sponsor-free and support NPR's book coverage, sign up for Book of the Day+ at plus.npr.org/bookofthedaySee pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for sponsorship and to manage your podcast sponsorship preferences.NPR Privacy Policy

This week, Jake and Bob are joined by Andrew Laubacher, the Executive Director of Humanality, to explore how our digital world is reshaping our attention, attachments, and relationships. After stepping away from social media and smart phones to overcome addiction, Andrew realized that healing sometimes requires more than better habits, fasting, or more prayer—it requires recovering the way God created us to live and relate. Together, they discuss the false intimacy of online community, the loneliness epidemic, and why technology is never as neutral as we assume. Andrew also shares practical steps you can begin today to live intentionally with technology.   Key Points: Modern technology offers a false intimacy while leaving us increasingly isolated, lonely, and craving real in-person community. Human beings are biologically designed for face-to-face connection, not constant digital interaction. Technology is not neutral because every platform is intentionally designed to keep us using it. AI offers remarkable benefits but also presents significant dangers when it replaces authentic human relationships. Healing requires real encounter, attention, and attachment that technology can never fully provide. Many of today's mental health struggles exist alongside a broader crisis of addiction and overstimulation. Constant digital stimulation weakens our capacity for focus, presence, contemplation, and prayer. It also affects sleep, physical health, eyesight, and overall well-being. Living intentionally with technology allows people to recover creativity, purpose, authentic relationships, and a deeper encounter with God.   Resources: Humanality   Chapters: 00:00 Introduction 06:49 How Technology Diminishes our Humanity 14:04 Artificial Community and False Intimacy 21:03 Can AI Heal Us? 31:10 The Tension of Virtual Communication 36:54 Attention, Attachment, and Addiction 52:33 Reclaiming Your Attention 57:07 Resources and Encouragement   Connect with Restore the Glory:  Instagram: @restoretheglorypodcast  Twitter: @RestoreGloryPod Facebook: Restore the Glory Podcast   Never miss out on an episode by hitting the subscribe button right now!

Did one missing welcome message create lasting tension between Francisco Lindor and Juan Soto? Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber debate the reported origin of their strained relationship, how Soto changed the Mets clubhouse hierarchy, and whether any realistic Lindor trade could actually improve the team. The conversation shifts to the Yankees and their continued faith in Anthony Volpe despite mounting frustration from fans. Evan and Tiki also discuss whether Jose Caballero deserves the shortstop job, why Jasson Dominguez still needs more time, what happened to Austin Wells, and whether the Yankees remain the best option in a flawed American League.
