Podcasts about Tension

3. Joseph Ellis, *The Cause: The American Revolution and Its Discontents, 1773 to 1783*. This narrative explores the tension between conservative and radical leadership, featuring John Dickinson, whose "Letters from a Farmer" framed the colonial constitutional position even as he hesitated to cross the "abyss" into war. Conversely, John Adams viewed continued trust in George III as "delusional" and advocated for an immediate end to the British connection. The text also critiques the "myth of the militia," noting that while amateurs were formidable behind defenses at Bunker Hill, their costly "victory" misled many into believing virtuous amateurs could easily defeat professional soldiers, a delusion that persisted for years.

Society often pushes us to run at a relentless pace, leaving many people overwhelmed with anxiety and exhaustion. God's Word offers a different rhythm—one that calls us to both run with purpose and rest in His presence. In Week 3 of our Good in Tension sermon series, we explore the biblical balance between endurance and rest. Discover how Scripture teaches us to run the race of faith with perseverance while finding true renewal in Christ. Our prayer is that this message encourages you to pursue God's Kingdom with strength, peace, and lasting endurance.

This week on Investing Simplified, Matt Sudol and Matt Mai from Price Financial Group discussed the ongoing volatility in the markets, with a focus on the critical role of oil as both a commodity and a driver of inflation. Listeners learned about recent disruptions impacting oil supply, including local pipeline issues in the Pacific Northwest and escalating Middle East tensions that could affect global prices via the Strait of Hormuz. The Matt's emphasized how fluctuations in oil prices can ripple through the economy—impacting everything from transportation to grocery costs—and discussed how these factors can influence inflation, Federal Reserve policy decisions, and, ultimately, investment portfolios.The show also highlighted recent positive trends in retirement accounts, noting the average 401(k) balance reached $146,100 at the end of 2025, with record numbers of "401k millionaires." However, the hosts cautioned that benchmarks and averages are less relevant than one's individual goals, liabilities, and life stage. To help listeners navigate current market dynamics, Matt and Matt provided practical tips on reviewing asset allocations, rebalancing portfolios, and using strategies like dollar-cost averaging to manage risk. They reminded listeners that, while market movements may be unpredictable, having a thoughtful, customized plan is key—and invited them to schedule a complimentary consultation to review their own circumstances.Navigating the world of finance can be overwhelming, especially when biased advice and outdated strategies cloud the path to financial success.

Host Jesse Jackson welcomes back college professor Maryanne Janosik to discuss Bruce Springsteen's newly released protest song, its rapid creative turnaround, and how it fits Springsteen's history of politically charged music and themes of Catholic social justice. They compare the song's naming of names to Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young's “Ohio,” speculate about political expression at the Grammys, and reflect on concerns about free speech, polarization, and the shrinking space for teaching controversial art and history. The conversation shifts to film awards, including disappointment that “Deliver Me From Nowhere” received no Oscar nominations, debate about biopic fatigue, and Maryanne's recommended under-the-radar films such as “Train Dreams,” Linklater's “Blue Moon” and “Nouvelle Vague,” “Sorry, Baby,” and the baseball film “Eefus,” plus praise for “Sinners” and “Fruitvale Station.” https://www.mjthemovies.com/ 00:00 Welcome Back Maryanne 00:33 Meet Maryanne Janosik 01:50 Bruce Drops New Protest Song 02:55 How Artists Create Fast 05:26 Protest Music Context 07:38 Catholic Imagination Social Justice 08:45 Teaching Songs of Protest 11:07 Grammys Politics and Censorship 13:30 Academic Freedom Under Pressure 17:13 Reviewing the New Song 20:36 Super Bowl Halftime Culture 23:44 Oscars and Springsteen Films 24:37 Box Office vs Oscars 25:35 Deliver Me From Nowhere 28:36 Biopic Fatigue Debate 30:26 Good vs Great Movies 32:24 Why Sinners Works 36:48 Michael B Jordan Rise 39:23 Under the Radar Picks 45:08 Catherine OHara Tribute 47:02 Wrap Up and Farewell Learn more about your ad choices.

WHY RETIREMENT CAN CREATE TENSION FOR COUPLES FROM BALTIMORE WASHINGTON FINANCIAL ADVISORS Sandy Hornor | CEPS Managing Director, Wealth Management & Executive Manager, BWFA Tessa Hall Media and Communications Specialist, BWFA About This Episode Tessa speaks with Sandy Hornor, Managing Director at BWFA, about “retired spouse syndrome,” a situation many couples experience when one partner retires while the other continues working. They discuss how retirement can change daily routines, expectations, and household roles, and why communication and planning can help couples navigate this transition more smoothly. To better understand how retirement decisions fit into your broader strategy, visit our Financial Planning page. Read Full Description Retirement is often viewed as a financial milestone. However, it can also introduce significant lifestyle changes for couples. When one spouse retires while the other continues working, the shift in daily routines can sometimes lead to what people informally call “retired spouse syndrome.” In this episode of Healthy, Wealthy & Wise, Tessa speaks with Sandy Hornor, Managing Director at BWFA, about how retirement can affect relationships and household dynamics. While many people focus on the financial side of retirement, the lifestyle adjustment can be just as important. When a spouse retires, their schedule may suddenly become far more flexible. Meanwhile, the working partner may still follow a structured routine. As a result, daily expectations around time, responsibilities, and personal space can change quickly. These changes are not necessarily negative. However, without clear communication, couples may find themselves navigating new tensions or misunderstandings. Planning ahead can help both partners prepare for the transition. The conversation explores how couples can talk about retirement expectations before the change occurs. Discussing lifestyle goals, personal interests, and shared activities can make the adjustment easier once retirement begins. Financial planning also plays an important role in the process. Retirement affects income sources, savings withdrawals, and long-term financial stability. When couples align their lifestyle expectations with a thoughtful financial plan, they often feel more confident about the transition. Ultimately, retirement is not only about leaving the workforce. It is also about redefining routines and roles within a household. With communication, planning, and realistic expectations, couples can navigate this change successfully and enjoy the next stage of life together.

What if the tension you're feeling isn't a problem to fix, but something God is using to grow you? In this message, Pastor Jason explores the "Already/Not Yet Kingdom" and what it means to live between what God has already done and what He has yet to fulfill. Through Scripture, he unpacks three things we learn in the tension: trusting God's timing, holding onto hope, and keeping an eternal perspective. If you're in a season of waiting or stretching, this message is for you.

Moving Towards TensionLeaders Make It Better "For the moment all discipline seems painful rather than pleasant, but later it yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained by it." (Hebrews 12:11, ESV) True growth is painful. It comes after testing, heat, pressure, or resistance. Most people run from the pain of tension, but wisdom tells us tension is necessary if you want to keep growing. Likewise, an organization will not grow by eliminating all tension; it grows by embracing it in a healthy way. Consider this: Toyota is known for building vehicles with remarkable reliability. They consistently hold some of the highest resale values in the automotive market and are regularly recognized for longevity and durability. But Toyota did not become synonymous with quality by accident. In the decades following World War II, Japanese automakers were not globally respected. Toyota had to fight its way into credibility. Their breakthrough came when they made a radical decision to prioritize quality over speed. While many manufacturers focused on producing more cars faster, Toyota chose a different path. They developed what became known as the Toyota Production System, often referred to as Lean Manufacturing. Lean manufacturing removes unnecessary complexity. It strips away waste. It refuses to grow comfortable with inefficiency. But perhaps most remarkable is this: Toyota literally built tension into their assembly line. At the center of their system is something called the Andon system (Andon means lantern in Japanese). Running alongside the assembly line is a bright cord. At any moment, any worker, regardless of rank, can pull that cord. And when they do, the entire production line stops. Not slows down. It stops. In an industry obsessed with speed and output, Toyota empowers the person with their hands on the product to halt the entire line if they see something wrong. Why? Because they understand that small tension now, prevents catastrophic failure later. So what does that mean for us? If a company can embrace tension in a system that produces cars, why would we try to avoid it in a church that is building people? Tension is the stretch we feel when growth pulls us beyond our current comfort. It's not a sign that something is wrong; it's a sign that something needs to grow. Learning how to lean into it and use it is key. Let me give you a practical example. Since September, we've seen a significant increase in first-time guests. At the same time, I felt something was off in our follow-up systems. We're not seeing the retention I expected, so I "pulled the cord," in a manner of speaking. What we found was alarming. Systems we designed years ago are no longer adequate or effective for where we are now. We became too comfortable with automation. Our contact reads like scripts and templates. It isn't personal. It isn't surprising that we haven't received a reply to any of our texts or emails since October. It hasn't been personal; it hasn't felt real. Personal is powerful, and artificial is inauthentic. If we want God to keep sending people, we have to truly see people. Do you feel the tension? HOW TO MOVE TOWARDS TENSION 1. RECOGNIZE TOMORROW'S GROWTH REQUIRES TODAY'S PAIN Two months ago, I shared "Moving Away from Complexity." I didn't realize at the time just how timely that message would be for us. We've worked hard to move from an older version of Grace World to the healthy expression we have today. Yet this cannot be our stopping place. There is a future version of our church that is leaner and stronger than we are right now. Getting there will require the right amount of pain. We have to embrace the tension. Time under tension is the only way to produce growth. If you've been feeling tension, that's a good thing. Lean into it. Don't run from it. If you haven't been feeling tension, it's likely you're too comfortable and need to challenge yourself. Comfort says, "This is what got us here." Leaning into tension asks, "What will get us there?" • Look for your current pain points. • Find a leadership book, podcast, or coach that will stretch you. The key is to decide today that you will embrace the tension. 2. ASK, "IS IT MISSION CRITICAL?" We are not a program-driven church. We are a mission-driven church. We show people who Jesus is and introduce them to the fullness of life that He offers. We help people discover life in fullness. To do this… We Awaken hearts. We Connect in community. We Train for purpose. We Send into fullness. Everything we do should be regularly run through that filter: Does this awaken? Does this connect? Does this train? Does this send? If it doesn't clearly move someone toward life in its fullness, we must refine it or release it. A clear mission should create tension. Every program. Every event. Every activity. Every role. Each must answer the question: How is this mission-critical? • Review your events and ministries through the lens of our mission. • Look for measurable fruit. • Are you duplicating efforts? • Where are you doing too much? • Make sure you and your team know exactly how this moves the mission forward. Remember, clarity of mission protects our calling. 3. MAKE FEEDBACK YOUR FRIEND Every member of this team needs to be able to pull on the rope. You see things we can't see. We cannot fix or refine what we refuse to see. Invite them into the feedback loop. We depend on an amazing team of pastors, campus staff, group leaders, and Kids and Student leaders. It takes teamwork to make this dream work. When was the last time you invited feedback or felt that yours was truly welcome? Normalize post-event debriefs: • What worked? • What didn't? • Where was there confusion? • What was missing? • Schedule regular check-ins with key teams and leaders. • Invite input before making major adjustments. • Ask, "What are you seeing that we are missing?" • Reward their honesty, not just their harmony. A lack of feedback usually means we've grown comfortable. You have to challenge the system. 4. HAVE THE HARD CONVERSATIONS You cannot move a team or organization forward without embracing hard conversations. These are the conversations that challenge the status quo while moving us toward the mission. Avoiding these conversations may protect your comfort, but having them protects our culture.• Separate identity from assignment. • Anchor the conversation in our vision and values. • Remember, the first goal of communication is clarity. • Land on clear action steps. If we know our vision and live out our values, we already have a framework for every hard conversation. It's built into the culture. Pull on the rope! SHARPING THE EDGE If we want to stay sharp as a church, as leaders, and as a team, we cannot run from tension. We must lean into it. The right kind of tension is not a threat to our culture; it is proof that we care enough to grow. So here is the action step: pull the cord. This week, identify one area where something feels "off" in your ministry, your systems, or even in yourself and address it directly. Don't ignore it. Don't normalize it. Lean into it. Remember, leaders make it better. And sometimes making it better means embracing the friction that sharpens us.

Fr. Bryan Kassa - “Are You Paying Attention to Your Tension?” 4th Sunday of Lent 2026 by Chaldean Diocese

Scripture calls us to be doers of the Word, not merely hearers (James 1:22). Jesus did not come simply to inform us, but to transform us—and that transformation comes through applying God's Word to our daily lives. In Week 2 of our Good in-Tension sermon series, we explore the importance of living out what Scripture teaches. Discover how practicing the truth of God's Word strengthens your faith, shapes your character, and moves you from knowledge to genuine spiritual growth. Our prayer is that this message challenges and encourages you to put biblical truth into action.

Once again the WFAA crew comes through with some awkward tension during a small window of witty banter.

Continuing our series through the book of James, Zach teaches from James 2:1–13 about the danger of showing favoritism. This message challenges us to see people the way Jesus Christ does and to live out a faith marked by mercy, humility, and love for everyone.

Continuing our series through the book of James, this message explores the power of our words and why learning to tame the tongue matters so much for followers of Jesus Christ. James reminds us that our speech has the power to either build others up or cause real harm, challenging us to let God shape not only our actions but also the way we speak.

Continuing our series through the book of James, Zach challenges us to examine our hearts and the importance of choosing Jesus in our inner lives. The message encourages us to rely on Jesus Christ throughout the week and concludes with a guided Prayer of Examen.

Send a textPromotions, pride, and the gut-punch of a near miss—this one goes straight to the heart of military life. We kick off by celebrating new Senior Master Sergeants, then lean into a raw, unfiltered talk with those who didn't make it: how long to vent, when to double down, and when to call it. The chat lights up with real numbers, real timelines, and the most honest take of all—“it's impossible to promote a quitter,” but grinding without clarity breaks people too.That's where the big swing comes in. We unpack why feedback feels empty—strats shrouded in mystery, record reviews that contradict each other, and board guidance that shifts year to year. Then we ask the question more leaders need to face: could AI make promotions more fair? We explore anonymized scoring, objective criteria, and a live experiment to compare a tuned model's output with human board results. Not to replace leaders, but to force transparency, reduce bias, and deliver feedback you can use next year—specific, repeatable, and honest.Tension turns to accountability as we react to viral soldier videos about the Middle East. Veterans in the chat remember mortar alarms and quiet fear, and we draw a firm line on standards: war isn't content. Uniformed conduct online matters, especially when lives are on the line. We push for education backed by consequences, the kind that builds a culture where young troops understand why discipline and humility aren't optional.We wrap with a lighter detour—guessing the NFL's biggest base salaries—to show how incentives drive behavior in any system. Then we set the hook for next week's open mic: bring your promotion stories, your board scores, and your ideas. We're building the AI test and want you in the loop.If this resonates, subscribe, share it with a teammate, and leave a review. Your stories shape the next show—and might help fix a system too many of us have learned to fear.

Feeling stuck in a conflict and unsure if it can be fixed? Tension with a friend, family member, or coworker can quietly build until something cracks.Relationships get “gunky” over time—not because we're bad, but because we neglect maintaining them, like ignoring a clogged air filter. Using Matthew 18 and Colossians 3, this message shows how to approach others with humility, speak honestly, and extend forgiveness.

Le point sur les derniers développements, les calculs stratégiques de chacun des acteurs et les possibles implications pour la région et au-delà.

This powerful exploration of Romans 10 confronts us with a beautiful paradox at the heart of the gospel: salvation is freely offered to everyone who calls on the name of the Lord, yet God sovereignly knows who will respond. We're challenged to hold both truths simultaneously - divine election and human responsibility - like viewing a cone that appears as both a circle and a triangle depending on our perspective. The message emphasizes that we live in prophetically significant times, with ancient biblical prophecies about nations like Persia (modern-day Iran) unfolding before our eyes. This isn't cause for panic but for peace, because we've read the end of the book and know God remains in control. The call is urgent: we are the generation chosen to proclaim Christ in these last days. Every believer is commissioned as a preacher, sent into the mission field of daily life to share the hope within us with gentleness and respect. Our lives should radiate such peace amid chaos that others ask what makes us different. The question isn't whether God's promise is available - it's whether we'll answer the call to be those with beautiful feet who carry the good news to a world desperately needing to hear it.Sermon Notes – Romans 10:13–21  --------------------------------  DETAILED NOTES  --------------------------------  I. The Promise Is Persuasive (vv. 13, Joel 2:32)  - “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”  - No boundaries: not race, class, morality, background, or performance.  - Tension:   - God elects, calls, saves (Rom 8:29–30).   - Yet the invitation is to “everyone.”  - Analogy: cone = circle from one angle, triangle from another; we lack the extra “dimension” to fully grasp how divine sovereignty and human responsibility fit together.  - In Joel 2:32 both sides appear:   - “Everyone who calls…shall be saved.”   - “…among the survivors shall be those whom the Lord calls.”  II. The Power of Preaching (vv. 14–15; 1 Pet 3:15; 1 Cor 1:18–21)  - Paul's “how” chain (reversed):   5. Beautiful are the feet of those who preach good news.   4. They can't preach unless sent.   3. They can't hear without someone preaching.   2. They can't believe what they've never heard.   1. They can't call on whom they haven't believed.  - Foundational issue: Do we know the good news well enough to share it?  - Preaching isn't just for pastors; every believer is “sent” (Eph 4:12).  - Our lives and testimonies are part of the message; God uses “the folly” of weak people with a perfect gospel to save.  - In a world of noise, fear (wars, economy, confusion), believers' peace and confidence are a powerful witness.  III. The Problem of Unbelief (vv. 16–21)  1. Lack of Faith  - Faith comes by hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ (v.17).  - Salvation is received only by faith in Christ's finished work (Rom 5:2; Eph 2:8; Heb 11).  - We are more “blessed” than those who saw Jesus physically but did not have to (John 20:29).  2. Willful Ignorance / Suppression (Ps 19; Rom 1)  - Creation universally proclaims God's glory; no one has a valid excuse.  - Evolution and materialism often used to dodge accountability to a Creator.  - If there is a Creator and an Author, then His standards are binding.  3. Pride (esp. Israel's example)  - Israel had maximum revelation yet often refused God.  - Called to be a light to the nations (Isa 49:6; Mic 4:1–2) but hoarded truth instead.  - Jonah: a prophet who would “rather die” than see Gentiles repent; a picture of nationalistic pride and spiritual hard-heartedness.  4. Love of Sin (John 3:16–21; Rom 1:32)  - People love darkness rather than light because their deeds are evil.  - Not only practice sin but approve of others who do.  - We resist God like a child shouting “no” to every loving boundary.  IV. Our Moment in History  - Rapid fulfillment of prophecy; increasing pressure and confusion.  - God is purifying a people who:   - Hold to His Word,   - Refuse to compromise,   - Stand with biblical clarity in a dark, chaotic age.  --------------------------------  PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS  --------------------------------  1. Clarify the Gospel  - Write out the gospel in a few sentences; practice explaining it simply.  2. Live as “Sent Ones”  - Ask daily: “Lord, who are you sending me to today?”  - Look for people who notice your peace, then share the reason for your hope (1 Pet 3:15).  3. Strengthen Your Faith  - Spend regular time in Scripture—especially Romans, John, and Psalms—to deepen confidence in Christ.  4. Confront Pride and Sin  - Ask the Spirit to reveal areas where you:   - Assume you “deserve” salvation, or   - Refuse to surrender favorite sins. Repent quickly.  5. Grow in Bold, Gentle Witness  - Pray for boldness + gentleness.  - Set a goal: share your testimony or the gospel with at least one person this week.  --------------------------------  DISCUSSION QUESTIONS  --------------------------------  1. How do you personally hold together “everyone who calls” and God's sovereign election without dismissing either?  2. On a scale of 1–10, how prepared do you feel to explain the gospel? What would help you grow?  3. Where have you seen God use your story (testimony) to impact someone else?  4. Which obstacle to belief hits closest to home for you: lack of faith, pride, or love of sin? Why?  5. In what ways might we be acting like Jonah—resenting or avoiding certain people or groups God wants to reach?  6. What specific steps can your group take to live more as “sent ones” in your workplaces, schools, and neighborhoods?

The San Francisco 49ers may be facing a defining moment in their offseason strategy.With reports suggesting the team could hold out for a first-round pick for Mac Jones, the bigger question is simple: where's the market?

Arsenal once again turn to their set-piece strength to edge past Chelsea and stay ahead of Manchester City in the title race. But with their forwards misfiring, can the Gunners really power their way to the Premier League title relying so heavily on dead-ball situations? City, meanwhile, grind out a crucial win over promoted Leeds United to keep the pressure on. Could their big winter signings prove decisive down the stretch? And with 14 wins from 18 league games without Erling Haaland, it raises a bold question: are City actually a more complete team without their superstar striker? Gary, Alan and Micah also tackle a wider issue: has the Premier League's overall standard declined? Are rigid tactical systems and over-coaching draining the entertainment from the game?
