Podcasts about Thom

Is it really possible for one person to make a dent in the suffering of the world? In this episode Thom explains why the most powerful contribution begins with ending our own suffering and aligning with the Unified Field through Vedic Meditation. He traces the way everyday gossip, blame and negativity ripple out into global conflict, and how twenty four hour bliss quietly reverses that trend from the inside out. Listen in for a radically practical reframing of peace, responsibility and your role in the evolution of consciousness.Episode Highlights[00:45] Q - How can individuals relieve world suffering?[01:11] A - Ending Personal Suffering to Help the World[04:05] Living in Twenty Four Hour Bliss[07:10] The Seagull and the Stolen Eggs[10:00] Where Global Conflict Really Begins[13:30] Why War Never Delivers Real Peace[16:49] Ending Gossip with Dignity and Silence[20:22] Choosing Beauty and Generosity Over Hate[23:22] Silent Presence as a Gift to PeaceYou can also watch this episode on YouTube here: https://youtu.be/EqbrHWEtwakUseful Linksinfo@thomknoles.com  https://thomknoles.com/https://www.instagram.com/thethomknoleshttps://www.facebook.com/thethomknoleshttps://www.youtube.com/c/thomknoleshttps://thomknoles.com/ask-thom-anything/ Registration is now open for Thom's only rounding retreat for 2026, in Sedona from May 21-25.This is your one and only opportunity this year for deep rest, stress release and consciousness expansion through industrial-strength meditation, along with twice-daily knowledge sessions with Thom.You'll enjoy delicious retreat-friendly meals and the beauty and healing powers of the Red Rocks of Sedona. Register before February 28th and you'll save $500 on your retreat fee. You can find out more at thomknoles.com/sedona.

Show Notes This week we take a break from our regular coverage of G Gundam to return to a research topic that will remain salient throughout the 90s Gundam era: the violent breakup of Yugoslavia and the history that led up to it. In Part 1, Thom picks up the story during World War II, as the old powers of the world begin to come to terms with the increasing inevitability of a Partisan and Communist victory, and gives a proper introduction to the youngest of Marshal Tito's political rivals... Show notes will be uploaded soon, thank you for your patience.

La rebeldía no siempre grita. A veces se disfraza de independencia, de “mi vida, mis reglas”, de mala cara ante la autoridad o de obediencia fingida. Anarquía es decir: “nadie me manda”. Humanismo es decir: “no necesito a Dios”. Autonomía es decir: “yo soy mi propia ley”. Pero cuando el hombre intenta ocupar el lugar de Dios, el resultado siempre es el mismo: caos, división y muerte. La rebelión no es solo una actitud externa; es un corazón que se resiste a someterse. En contraste, Jesús mostró otra revolución: la del sometimiento. No se exaltó, se humilló. No se impuso, obedeció. No hizo su voluntad, sino la del Padre. La verdadera fuerza no está en rebelarse, sino en rendirse a Dios. La pregunta es sencilla y profunda: ¿En qué área sigues queriendo ser tu propia autoridad?

BONUS EPISODE: Anthony and Oriana chat with Thom Newell, editor for horror movies in the VHS franchise and the Chucky TV series (among others), and director of multiple horror shorts. He also was the shortest lived Ghostface, portraying Greg Bruckner in Scream VI.

Church Answers researcher Ryan Burge recently released a stunning and sobering report on the ages of congregants of various denominations. It's not a pretty picture. Many churches will soon die or become moribund because of one simple factor: their church members are dying and not being replaced. Jess and Thom examine four aspects of this demographic decline and death. The post “Gradually… Then Suddenly”: Why Church Decline Is About to Accelerate appeared first on Church Answers.

We are popping the champagne for a very special episode! To celebrate the launch of his exclusive new collection with Ballard Designs, the fabulous Carson Kressley joins Caroline, Taryn, and Liz as a special co-host for a 4-part mini-series. And for his first guest? It's none other than his original Queer Eye castmate, best friend, and acclaimed interior designer Thom Filicia. Carson and Thom take a trip down memory lane, revealing the hilarious story of how they first met during the "chemistry test" for Queer Eye for the Straight Guy. Thom opens up about his classical training at the legendary firm Parish-Hadley, his philosophy on "Democratic Design," and why he believes every room needs a mix of price points to feel authentic. Quick Decorating Takeaways: Embrace "Democratic Design": Thom believes great design shouldn't be reserved for the elite. Whether it's a custom piece or a catalog find, good design is accessible at every price point. The magic happens when you mix them together—high and low, old and new. Don't Be Afraid of Brown: Thom and the team discuss the resurgence of brown as a dominant color in interiors. Thom loves using warm, earthy neutrals (like chocolate, rust, and camel) to create spaces that feel grounded, sophisticated, and cozy. Your Home Should Tell Your Story: Authenticity is key. Carson and Thom emphasize that your home should reflect you—not just a showroom. Incorporate personal items, travel souvenirs, and pieces that have history to give your space a unique "fingerprint".

It's very fashionable to talk about boundaries, especially in the context of relationships or expectations of others. One could argue that boundaries are useful, but once they become a cage, they become a problem.In this episode, Thom unpacks the difference between living inside sharp routines and cultivating real unboundedness, the kind that actually refreshes the nervous system and expands your capacity to meet the need of the time.Thom also explains why “control” is a false strategy in relationships, what it really means to meet another person's conscious receptivity, and how empathy becomes a practical tool for clearer expectations, cleaner communication, and less suffering.Episode Highlights[00:45] The Problem With Sharp Boundaries [04:19] Why Classic Approaches To Freedom Fail [07:34] The Shocking Truth About Repetitive Thinking [10:56] How To Break Free From Boundaries [15:10] Making Unboundedness A Daily Routine [19:17] The Goal Is Not Permanent Meditation [20:11] Q - How do we show up differently in relationships as we expand consciousness? [20:45] A - Meeting The Conscious Receptivity Of Others [24:48] The Illusion Of Control In Relationships [29:19] Using The Inner-net For True Connection [31:14] Q - How do you explain boundaries in toxic relationships? [31:42] A - Sharing Accurate Expectations With Others [32:54] Q - What about when there's resistance to clear expectations? [33:29] A - When To Use Dhanurveda PrinciplesYou can also watch this episode on YouTube here: https://youtu.be/TufGThQ8qD4Useful Linksinfo@thomknoles.com  https://thomknoles.com/https://www.instagram.com/thethomknoleshttps://www.facebook.com/thethomknoleshttps://www.youtube.com/c/thomknoleshttps://thomknoles.com/ask-thom-anything/ Registration is now open for Thom's only rounding retreat for 2026, in Sedona from May 21-25.This is your one and only opportunity this year for deep rest, stress release and consciousness expansion through industrial-strength meditation, along with twice-daily knowledge sessions with Thom.You'll enjoy delicious retreat-friendly meals and the beauty and healing powers of the Red Rocks of Sedona. Register before February 28th and you'll save $500 on your retreat fee. You can find out more at thomknoles.com/sedona.

Former guest and longtime friend John Amodeo joins Allen and Thom to advocate “gentle presence” 9 making ourselves available to the full range of what we're experiencing in the moment, whether pleasure and pain. People are afraid of their emotions - “If I start crying, when will I stop?” The greater danger, in our experience, is the suppression of emotion. We also touch on processing failure and mistakes, cautioning against blame. When we get stuck in blame, we don't learn and grow from our experiences.

Kriege, Krisen, Klimakatastrophen, soziale Spaltung – ein Blick aufs Handy reicht, und viele fühlen sich von den Nachrichten überfordert. Das Leid der Welt scheint plötzlich auf den eigenen Schultern zu liegen. Dieses Gefühl hat einen Namen: Weltschmerz. In dieser Folge von Betreutes Fühlen sprechen Leon und Atze darüber, warum uns das aktuelle Weltgeschehen emotional so stark belastet, was Dauerkrisen mit unserer psychischen Gesundheit machen und warum Abstumpfen keine Lösung ist. Es geht um Empathie, emotionale Überforderung und den Unterschied zwischen Mitfühlen und Wegschauen – aber auch darum, warum Empathie allein nicht reicht. Wozu ist dieser Schmerz da? Und wie können wir mit Weltschmerz umgehen, ohne uns ohnmächtig oder leer zu fühlen?

Rond Rob Jetten schaart zich een relatief jonge groep bewindslieden uit drie duidelijk geprofileerde politieke richtingen. Dat biedt kansen, maar is niet zonder risico. Hoe maakt de nieuwe premier hier een coherent team van? Hoe zal zijn kabinet uitnodigend optreden naar anderen voor meerderheden? Welke verrassingen, parels en risicofactoren schuilen in de ploeg? Wie is 'de Gidi Markuszower die wel kan slagen'? En waarom is een geheime bijeenkomst op zaterdag 21 februari cruciaal? Jaap Jansen en PG Kroeger kijken vooruit en noteren patronen en lessen uit de parlementaire geschiedenis. *** Deze aflevering is mede mogelijk gemaakt met donaties van luisteraars die we hiervoor hartelijk danken. Word ook vriend van de show! Heb je belangstelling om in onze podcast te adverteren of ons te sponsoren? Zend ons een mailtje en wij zoeken contact. *** Waren er bij Dick Schoof vier pizzaslices in een doos die ieder voor zich eters moesten lokken, bij Jetten zijn er drie pilaren die samen een grote koepel van ambitie overeind moeten houden. Eigenlijk ontbreekt er een, dus taak aan de bouwmeester om de constructie desondanks stevig en stabiel te houden. De VVD-pijler blijkt recycling van de wrakke fundering van de coalitie met PVV, NSC en BBB. Dilan Yeşilgöz wil zo blijkbaar afdwingen dat dit – zoals beloofd in de campagne – opnieuw een in de woorden van de VVD ‘centrumrechts kabinet’ zou zijn. De risico's daarmee zijn manifest. Op veel consideratie hoeven de ex-Schoof-bewindslieden in de Kamers niet te rekenen, niet van links en niet van rechts. De CDA-pijler zou uit 'generatie Henri' bestaan. Maar er zit nogal veel ‘Buma’ en zelfs nog ‘Balkenende’ in. Eigenlijk alleen Tom Berendsen (Buitenlandse Zaken) en Heleen Herbert (Economische Zaken) zijn echt nieuwe gezichten. Toch heeft het CDA heeft als junior in de coalitie een doortimmerd pakket aan posten binnengehaald. In elk van de cruciale beleidsdomeinen heeft Bontenbal een sleutelpost veroverd. De D66-zuil rond Jetten is helder geselecteerd: het zijn loyale vertrouwelingen die beseffen dat ze zonder zijn electorale triomf politiek min of meer uitgerangeerd zouden zijn geweest. Jetten heeft met nadruk gezocht naar pragmatische compromiszoekers. Op Landbouw mocht geen drammer. Aan de premier de taak op 21 februari meteen een reeks knopen door te hakken en kabinetsdiscipline te vestigen. Allereerst met zijn vicepremiers - een sterk contrast met Schoof - maar ook met de aanvoerders van de coalitiefracties. Een paradox waarbij Hans van Mierlo zijn vingers zou aflikken: juist om als coalitie constructieve meerderheden te bereiken, moet je zélf ragfijn opereren en de bewindslieden ruimte gunnen 'te leveren'. Slaat ieder voor zich aan het profileren en steun zoeken bij geestverwante fracties dan wordt vanuit de oppositie de coalitie moeiteloos uiteen gespeeld. Opportunisme van de korte termijn zal het zicht op de lange-termijnambities en hervormingen van het coalitieakkoord snel doen verdampen. Een pikant aspect doet zich nu al voor. Deel van de VVD-continuïteit is de wens dat de asielwetgeving van Marjolein Faber (PVV) alsnog wordt doorgevoerd. De Eerste Kamer zal daar als hoeder van gedegen wetgeving uiterst sceptisch naar kijken. In de wandelgangen horen we de redenering dat het misschien wel beter is als de nieuwe minister van Asiel en Migratie, CDA-vicepremier Bart van den Brink geheel nieuwe wetgeving zou introduceren. Als de vingerafdrukken van de PVV daar niet meer aan kleven, wordt brede steun mogelijk en dus aantrekkelijk. De ironie is groot. Wilders wilde een vicepremier op die post die niet door de beugel kon - Gidi Markuszower. Een CDA’er kan van de combinatie alsnog een succes maken. En de lege pizzadoos laten voor wat-ie is. Premier Jetten moet ook meteen duidelijkheid scheppen over Europa. Met de sterk Europees vertakte Tom Berendsen kan hij meteen uitstralen dat Nederland weer meedoet en dus snel weer meetelt. Als hij het goed speelt kan Nederland meteen al een hoofdrol kan spelen. Als lid van de trojka van lidstaten die een half jaar EU-voorzitter zijn - én daarbij als het enige lid van de 'kopgroep van zes' - is ons land gedurende 2028 en 2029 leidend in de voorbereiding naar een volgende fase in de EU. Het Meerjarig Financieel Kader wordt dan concreet doorgevoerd en de komst in 2029 van de 'post-Ursula' Commissie is dan in aantocht. Het grootste risico voor Jetten is zijn relatie met de minister van Financiën. Zou Eelco Heinen zijn eigen beleid onder Schoof als lichtend voorbeeld voor een vervolg in de nieuwe coalitie presenteren, dan kon het weleens snel heel mis gaan. De nieuwe ploeg heeft historisch gezien een opmerkelijke analogie. Bij omstreden ingrepen in het sociale weefsel staat een duo van premier en minister van Sociale Zaken en Werkgelegenheid klaar om 'te doen wat nodig is'. Destijds Ruud Lubbers en Jan de Koning, nu Rob Jetten en Hans Vijlbrief. Ze lijken in velerlei opzichten op elkaar, ook in hun nuttige verschil van herkomst, generatie en naturel. Lukt het nieuwe duo wat dat eerdere geschiedenis deed schrijven? Vijlbrief zal voor Prinsjesdag een sociaal akkoord met 'de polder' moeten bereiken en moet daarvoor optrekken met de CDA-minister op EZ, Heleen Herbert, en met de minister die het beroepsonderwijs en ‘leven lang ontwikkelen’ in haar portefeuille zal moeten hebben, zijn partijgenoot Rianne Letschert.

Dosarele Epstein vor marca o generație – iată una dintre concluziile comentatorilor, după ce tot mai multe dintre documente încep să fie citite și înțelese. Dar cum și-a clădit și cum și-a folosit infractorul sexual această vastă rețea de relații? Presa internațională explică. The New York Times, citat de Courrier International, analizează o serie de tranzacții și tentative de investiții ale lui Jeffrey Epstein în toate sectoarele din Silicon Valley, în criptomonede, startup-uri biomedicale, dar și în vedete Big Tech în ascensiune, precum SpaceX și Facebook. Fie că s-au materializat sau nu, toate aceste tranzacții au cel puțin un lucru în comun: au fost discutate după 2008, anul primei condamnări a finanțatorului pentru racolarea unei minore în scopuri de prostituție în Florida. La acea vreme, Epstein, simțind că lațul legal se închide, încerca să se mențină pe linia de plutire financiară și să-și consolideze vasta rețea de contacte prestigioase sau pur și simplu lucrative. În revista franceză L'Express citim cum ”Jeffrey Epstein și oamenii Kremlinului au clădit un parteneriat fructuos”. Este titlul interviului acordat de Françoise Thom, cercetătoare specializată în Rusia. Ea spune că legăturile dintre agresorul sexual și Moscova erau de lungă durată. Iar revista se întreabă dacă nu cumva, până la punctul în care au transformat-o în cel mai mare kompromat din istorie. ”Acest lucru este suficient pentru a le da fiori guvernelor occidentale, care încep să se întrebe dacă agresorul sexual nu era și un agent... care lucra pentru Moscova. Citeste siDosarele Epstein și filiera rusească Și pe bună dreptate. Peste 10.000 de scrisori, note și mesaje text publicate de Departamentul de Justiție al SUA se referă la Rusia - și o mie la Vladimir Putin. Aceste documente dezvăluie că Epstein avea legături de lungă durată cu înalți oficiali ruși. În 2011, de exemplu, notoriul om de afaceri a călătorit în Rusia cu o viză emisă de Vympel, asociația veteranilor unei unități de elită FSB, potrivit ziarului Novaya Gazeta”. ”Faimă, putere, sex și crimă” Iar Financial Times descrie cum ”Epstein a reușit să transforme relațiile într-o sursă de bani, putere și alte conexiuni - un fel de schemă socială Ponzi pe care a menținut-o până la arestarea și moartea sa în închisoare în 2019. Membrii de elită ai grupului său nu aveau toți aceleași nevoi. Pentru a le satisface, Epstein putea să-și asume rolul de confident, broker sau pețitor, ghid către o viață mai luxoasă sau chiar bancher. Faimă, putere, sex și crimă - dosarele Epstein vor avea probabil repercusiuni care vor reverbera o generație. Citeste siEpstein s-a înconjurat de numeroși oameni de știință. Ce urmărea? În aceste vremuri de neîncredere absolută față de elite, politica modernă este deja modelată de puterea teoriilor conspirației. Și se dovedește că adevărata conspirație nu a fost orchestrată de la Davos sau la Națiunile Unite, sau din subsolul unei pizzerii [așa cum credeau susținătorii „Pizzagate” din Statele Unite], ci de la adresa de e-mail hiperactivă a unui pedofil. Când bogăția, lingușirea sau ajutorul pe care l-a oferit nu i-au adus ceea ce își dorea, Epstein a devenit amenințător și brutal - folosindu-și intimitatea atent cultivată cu oamenii pentru a se juca cu teama lor de a fi expuși, ceea ce a asigurat funcționarea mașinăriei  (Sursa: Courrier International).

In this episode, Thom and Sam shine a light on a trend few church leaders see: the silent exodus of senior adults. While much attention is given to reaching Millennials and Gen Z, an equally significant group is slowly drifting away: older adults who once formed the backbone of many congregations. Their departure isn't loud or dramatic. It's subtle: an empty pew, a missing volunteer, a longtime member who quietly stops attending.

In spiritual circles it's very trendy to speak of “raising frequency” or accessing “higher vibrations,” but what if higher vibration isn't mystical at all, but a precise description of physics at work?In this episode, Thom explores how order, coherence, and peace naturally emerge when we reduce excitation, rather than seek to raise it.Drawing on the laws of thermodynamics, Thom demystifies the subject and explains the fundamentals of sustainable change.Episode Highlights[00:45] Q – What Is “Higher Vibration”?[01:16] A – Excitation and Thermodynamics[03:46] Why You Can't Force Peace[06:29] Superfluid Helium Seeks Unboundedness[08:45] Superconductivity in Simple Terms[10:05] Meditation and Society[13:41] The Meissner EffectYou can also watch this episode on YouTube here: https://youtu.be/8KUIB4PlifkUseful Linksinfo@thomknoles.com  https://thomknoles.com/https://www.instagram.com/thethomknoleshttps://www.facebook.com/thethomknoleshttps://www.youtube.com/c/thomknoleshttps://thomknoles.com/ask-thom-anything/ Registration is now open for Thom's only rounding retreat for 2026, in Sedona from May 21-25.This is your one and only opportunity this year for deep rest, stress release and consciousness expansion through industrial-strength meditation, along with twice-daily knowledge sessions with Thom.You'll enjoy delicious retreat-friendly meals and the beauty and healing powers of the Red Rocks of Sedona. Register before February 28th and you'll save $500 on your retreat fee. You can find out more at thomknoles.com/sedona.

Happy Monday, Christmas Fanatics! We hope our U.S. listeners had an amazing Super Bowl weekend! This week, Julia, Thom, and Anthony got together to dive into another take on Charles Dickens' timeless classic, "A Christmas Carol" — but one unlike any version they've covered before. They're talking about 2025's "Christmas Karma", a genre-blending Bollywood-style holiday film packed with music, comedy, drama, and modern flair. It's a bold reimagining of Scrooge and the spirits that brings something completely new to the table. Is different a bad thing? Not at all — but it definitely gives the hosts plenty to unpack, debate, and celebrate in a lively, funny, and festive conversation. So grab some cocoa, get cozy, and enjoy this cheerful burst of Christmas spirit to start your week. As always, we truly appreciate your continued love and support!

Most churches spend weeks crafting job descriptions and reviewing résumés. Very few ask the right questions. Today, Thom and Jess argue that hiring mistakes in churches rarely come from a lack of talent. They come from overlooked questions—questions that reveal heart, alignment, resilience, and long-term fit. This is part one of a two-part conversation on 10 often overlooked questions every church should ask before hiring its next staff member. The post 10 Often Overlooked Questions Churches Should Ask Before Hiring Staff – Part 1 appeared first on Church Answers.

In part one, Thom and Jess focused on questions that reveal inner wiring and emotional maturity. In part two, the focus shifts to longevity, mission alignment, and team health.

Working from home sounds simple—until kids, calendars, meals, meetings, and relationships all collide. In this episode, I sit down with Thom Gibson, a work-from-home dad and social media strategist, to talk honestly about what it really takes to make remote work and family life coexist.Thom is the founder of WFH Dads, and his perspective is grounded not in theory, but in lived experience—raising two young kids, navigating shared schedules with his wife, and building a workday that leaves room for presence, not just productivity.Six Discussion PointsHow Thom transitioned into working from home during the pandemic—and why he stayedWhy default schedules matter more than perfect plansThe overlooked power of clear boundaries between “work time” and “family time”How simplifying meals reduces daily decision fatigueWhy Thom changed his journaling practice after 15 yearsThe thinking behind the Six-Hour Workday Playbook for dadsThree Connection PointsWFH DadsGet The Six-Hour Workday PlaybookHow to Build a Powerful Journal in 3 Steps (Starting Today)This conversation reinforced something I've believed for a long time: structure isn't the enemy of freedom—it's what makes freedom possible. Thom's approach to work-from-home life is thoughtful, practical, and refreshingly human, and I think a lot of parents—especially dads—will see themselves reflected in this episode.

A surprisingly high number of churchgoers attend because someone simply invited them. In this episode, Sam and Thom unpack why 60% might be the most overlooked and powerful number in church outreach today. This statistic comes from Grey Matter Research and Infinity Concepts, which recently asked more than 1,000 American evangelical Protestants about their church experiences.

Productivity is often seen as the holy grail of business success. Though organizations obsess over productivity gains, often they miss the fact that these gains come with a hidden cost.In this episode, Thom explores why healthy mission, creativity, and inner stillness are not distractions from productivity, but its deepest source.When work feels meaningful, participation becomes voluntary, effort becomes effortless, and productivity takes care of itself.Episode Highlights00:45 Productivity is an Illusion04:01 Making Participation Attractive06:23 Great Output Comes from Healthy Process10:17 The Four Aspects of Organizational Mission14:15 Make Everybody a Believer of the Mission18:48 The Role of Vedic Meditation in Organizational Productivity23:02 Q: Are Corporate Missions Manipulative?23:23 A: Use Your Discrimination Capability25:07 Q: How do we reconcile ease with being productive?25:23 A: Frictionless Flow Feels Effortless26:03 Q: Can we trade off being productive for stillness?26:46 A: Get corporate support or choose personal control31:26 Q: How can we remove the pressure to feel productive in life?32:01 A: I Get To...You can also watch this episode on YouTube here: https://youtu.be/plvJKA1k_zkUseful Linksinfo@thomknoles.com  https://thomknoles.com/https://www.instagram.com/thethomknoleshttps://www.facebook.com/thethomknoleshttps://www.youtube.com/c/thomknoleshttps://thomknoles.com/ask-thom-anything/

In 2006, "Simple Church" encouraged churches to streamline programming, clarify discipleship pathways, and focus on moving people toward spiritual maturity rather than filling calendars with activities. The book had a significant impact, shaping how thousands of pastors thought about ministry systems and structure. Nearly two decades later, Thom and Sam take a fresh look: What principles stood the test of time? What challenges emerged in practice? And how should churches apply "Simple Church" today in a ministry landscape that's more complex, digital, and post-pandemic than ever?
