Podcasts about Togetherness

Is church just a place to think about God—or are we wired to worship together? In this groundbreaking episode, theologian Dr. Josh Cockayne and developmental psychologist Dr. Gideon Salter join Dru Johnson to explore how human beings are made for joint attention, and why gathering for worship is a deeply embodied, social necessity. Drawing from their book Why We Gather, the conversation unfolds how infants develop the skill of “joint attention”—the ability to notice something with someone else—and how this same capacity is essential to biblical worship, from Genesis to Revelation. They argue that worship isn't merely cognitive or emotional—it's communal, embodied, and neurologically formative. Togetherness isn't a nice-to-have; it's the foundation of how we know God and the world. From communion rituals and infant behavior to liturgical design and online church, the episode provides a practical, psychologically grounded, and theologically rich vision of church that challenges both individualism and shallow expressions of “community.” For their book "Why We Gather," see the publisher's website here: https://www.baylorpress.com/9781481322911/why-we-gather/ We are listener supported.

gathering.Da: Mikkel, den ældste af søskendeflokken, gik rundt med en notesblok i hånden.En: Mikkel, the eldest of the siblings, walked around with a notepad in hand.Da: Hans bryn var let rynket af

felt pressured.Da: Hvordan kunne han sikre, at alt blev perfekt?En: How could he ensure that everything was perfect?Da: Freja var allerede i haven, ivrigt i gang med at hænge kulørte lyskæder op mellem æbletræerne.En: Freja was already in the garden, eagerly hanging colorful light chains between the apple trees.Da: Hun lo og snakkede med naboernes børn, der kom forbi for at hjælpe til.En: She

found it difficult to be in the midst of the noisy preparation.Da: Alligevel ville hun gerne hjælpe sine søskende, så da Mikkel bad om hjælp, lagde hun bogen til side.En: Nevertheless, she wanted to help her siblings, so when Mikkel asked for help, she put the book aside.Da: "Mikkel," sagde Freja, da hun kom indenfor med et glimt i øjet, "skal vi ikke bare nyde dagen og lave lidt om på planen?En:

In this soul-stirring episode of Divine Union, we explore the tender, nuanced dance between togetherness and separateness in relationships. How do we stay rooted in our individuality while nurturing deep connection? How do we honor silence, spaciousness, and sovereignty without slipping into disconnection or codependency?Drawing from her work with couples and individuals, Nicola unpacks why spaciousness is essential for intimacy, how communication supports healthy sovereignty, and why our longing to be fully seen often sits alongside our fear of being truly known.This conversation is for anyone partnered or non, or for anyone craving deeper connection, or feeling the subtle ache of loneliness, even when love is present. It's an invitation to embrace the beauty of polarity, presence, and the wholeness that arises when we learn to hold both ourselves and our beloveds.Themes include: • Sovereignty vs. Codependency • Sacred silence & presence in partnership • The subtle art of spacious connection • Why loneliness persists—even in love • Relational polarity that deepens, not destabilizesNicola's Website: nicolanavon.comSubscribe to her NewsletterInstagram: @nicolanavonYouTube Channel: @nicolanavonBecause we love to reward effort, email a screenshot of your review of Divine Union to info@nicolanavon.com to receive a free gift.

This is the first sermon in the series with Jim Gates.

In this special Pride Month episode, host Dan Hall explores the vital concept of "finding our tribes" within the Queer community through conversations with previous guests. For many LGBTQ+ individuals, discovering safe spaces has been about more than friendship—it's been essential for survival and self-acceptance in a world that often fails to see or understand queer experiences.These communities serve as places where Queer people celebrate triumphs and mourn losses together, but like any family, they can be complicated. Through intimate discussions with Queer musicians from around the world, this episode examines what community means to them, its imperfections, and how we might build more inclusive spaces. From hidden bars of decades past to the evolution of Pride from protest to celebration, these artists share personal stories that illuminate the ongoing journey of creating and maintaining vibrant queer communities.Timestamped Key Takeaways[00:01:00] Finding Our Tribes: Dan discusses how finding safe spaces in the queer community is often about survival and learning to be comfortable with who we are, finally seeing ourselves mirrored in a world that didn't always see us.[00:02:02] Historical Context: Looking back at previous decades helps us understand why queer spaces remain vital today, as openly queer living wasn't an option for many generations who had to carve out their own hidden corners of the world.[00:02:49] Kele Fleming's First Community: Singer-songwriter Kele Fleming shares how a gay club called Rumours in Victoria became her "community centre" and "life saver" in 1984, offering a space where she could be her authentic self despite family non-acceptance.[00:05:25] Creating New Spaces: Jon Ginoli of Pansy Division discusses founding a queer rock band in the early 90s when rock music wasn't considered "gay enough" within mainstream gay culture, helping pioneer the queercore music scene.[00:08:01] Global Perspectives on Safety: Brazilian musician Eric Lenfair speaks about the inherent cautiousness that many queer people develop growing up, while Eric Torino shares his experiences with fear of public affection even in supposedly accepting places like New York.[00:11:12] Exclusion Within the Community: James Taylor Junior discusses feeling left out of the queer community due to factors like ageism and racism, highlighting that the LGBTQ+ community isn't one unified entity but complex and diverse.[00:13:14] Specific Spaces for Specific Needs: Brooklyn-based singer Roderick Woodruff explains the importance of spaces specifically for Black queer individuals where he doesn't have to "perform" or diminish himself to make others comfortable.[00:15:19] Artistic Communities: Baltimore musician Greg Hatem describes how supportive queer ecosystems allow artists to thrive and create work that connects with people from all backgrounds.[00:19:46] The Evolution of Pride: Various artists reflect on how Pride has changed from its origins as a protest movement to becoming more commercialized and mainstream, questioning what this means for its political message.[00:24:33] Internal Community Challenges: James Taylor Junior and others discuss damaging stereotypes within the gay community, from body image pressures to racism experienced by queer people of color within LGBTQ+ spaces.[00:29:23] Hope for the Future: Polish singer-songwriter Tomek Zdyb shares his vision for what community can achieve through mutual support and education, emphasizing respect and human connection.Resource ListFeatured Artists and Their EpisodesKele Fleming -

"I feel togetherness is inevitable. From a philosophical standpoint, we're more connected than ever, despite the imaginary frontiers that exist." - Johanna RocaJo Roca shares her transformative journey from Colombia to global creative leadership, discussing how leaving home at 16 shaped her perspective on identity, belonging, and creativity. She reveals her struggles with cultural stereotypes, the pressure to assimilate, and her eventual path to self-acceptance. Jo speaks passionately about the need for collaborative approaches in the creative industry, drawing parallels to how nature thrives through interconnection. She explores the ethics of AI in design, describes developing ethical frameworks for creative work, and emphasizes the importance of empathy in both personal relationships and professional projects.Key TakeawaysJo's early experiences as a Colombian abroad taught her empathy through lived experiences that now inform her creative approach.Self-acceptance was a gradual process for Jo, catalyzed by motherhood and place-branding work that explored belonging.Jo believes "togetherness is inevitable" and sees potential in creative collaboration rather than competition.The creative industry should move away from celebrating "lone geniuses" toward recognizing collective contributions.Jo advocates for ethical frameworks in AI adoption, balancing innovation with responsibility toward creative communities.Personal values can guide professional choices, though Jo acknowledges the privilege in being able to decline certain projects.

Martin Luther once said, “There is no more lovely, friendly, and charming relationship, communion, or company than a good marriage.”A strong marriage is a blessing but requires intentional effort, especially in a blended family. Today, Ron Deal and Greg Pettys join the show to discuss a valuable resource for second marriages.Ron Deal is a bestselling author, licensed marriage & family therapist, podcaster, and popular conference speaker who specializes in marriage enrichment and stepfamily education and is the co-author of The Smart Stepfamily Guide to Financial Planning: Money Management Before and After You Blend a Family. Greg Pettys, CLU, ChFC, CFP, has thirty-four years of specialized experience in securities and life insurance sales and services. He is the co-author of The Smart Stepfamily Guide to Financial Planning: Money Management Before and After You Blend a Family.Understanding the Financial Challenges of Blended FamiliesWhen two people enter a marriage with previous financial histories, children, and life experiences, their financial situation becomes more complex than that of a first-time marriage. They may bring:Separate bank accounts and investmentsExisting debts and financial obligationsDifferent parenting and financial philosophiesThe need to provide for children from previous relationshipsConcerns over inheritance and estate planningMerging finances in a blended family isn't just about money—it's about trust, provision, and love. Without clear communication and planning, financial disagreements can create tension, causing stress in the relationship.What Is a Togetherness Agreement?A Togetherness Agreement is a structured approach for blended couples to clarify their financial decisions, ensuring transparency and unity. More than just a financial plan, it is a tool for fostering trust and eliminating fear. It's not just about bank accounts and investments—it's about love, respect, and providing well for one another. It brings clarity to emotionally charged financial topics, ensuring that both partners are aligned in their vision for the future.Why Is a Togetherness Agreement Important?1. It Provides Financial TransparencyMany couples enter marriage with financial baggage—whether it's debt, differing views on money management, or past experiences that have led to distrust. A Togetherness Agreement creates a safe space for full financial disclosure.2. It Helps Prevent Conflict Over MoneyMoney is one of the top stressors in any marriage, but in blended families, the stakes are even higher. The agreement ensures both spouses are on the same page regarding financial expectations and responsibilities.3. It Protects Children and Future GenerationsWithout a clear plan, assets and inheritance can unintentionally drift away from children from previous marriages. The agreement helps ensure that financial resources are distributed according to the couple's wishes, not just default legal systems.4. It Strengthens Marital Trust and UnityA Togetherness Agreement fosters open communication, allowing couples to plan their future confidently rather than fearfully. It shifts financial discussions from potential sources of conflict to proactive, loving conversations.What Should a Togetherness Agreement Include?A Togetherness Agreement can be as formal or informal as a couple chooses. While some opt for a legally binding contract, even a simple written plan can be valuable. Key components may include:Bank Account Structure—Should finances be merged, kept separate, or a combination of both?Debt and Credit Considerations—How will existing debts be managed, and how will future credit decisions be made?Business Ownership—If one spouse owns a business, what will happen to it in the event of death or divorce?Financial Responsibilities—Who is responsible for household expenses, savings, and long-term care for aging parents?Inheritance and Estate Planning—How will assets be distributed to biological and stepchildren?Contingency Plans—What provisions are in place for special needs children, elderly parents, or unexpected life changes?When Should Couples Create a Togetherness Agreement?Ideally, discussions about financial planning should begin before marriage. However, it's never too late to start if you're already married and haven't had these conversations.If you're dating, start the conversation now. If you're already married, don't wait—begin today. The Smart Step Family Guide to Financial Planning provides a step-by-step guide to help you navigate these important discussions.A Togetherness Agreement is an essential tool for blended families to navigate finances with wisdom, clarity, and love. By fostering open communication and financial unity, couples can build a secure foundation for their marriage and their future.If you're in a blended family, consider creating your own Togetherness Agreement today—it might be the most valuable financial decision you ever make.For more insights, pick up a copy of The Smart Step Family Guide to Financial Planning and start building a financial roadmap that aligns with your family's unique needs.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:My question has two parts.

Hey Small Wonder Fans, Angela Bowen here, the host of She's A Small Wonder: A Small Wonder Podcast. Today, I covered Season Episodes 5-8. S4E5: Come Fly With Me, which aired on October 22, 1988. In this episode the Lawson's accompany Brandon and Harriet on a flight to Florida (business reasons) when their flight is hijacked. Art Linkletter guest stars. I thought this episode was clever and humorous in some scenes. S4E6: Love At First Byte, which aired on October 29, 1988. In this episode Vicki falls for a computer program called L.E.S., that Ted installs in the family computer, unaware that L.E.S.'s growing attraction to Vicki takes a possessive and controlling turn, leading the family to take drastic measures to save Vicki. S4E7: The Sheik, which aired on November 5, 1988. In this episode, Ted and the family entertain a Sheik who intends to do business with the Robotics company that Ted works for, however when the Sheik sets his sights on marrying Vicki (to go along with his 4 other wives) this kid is 13 BTW, Ted has to decide if he can save Vicki from a lifetime of servitude (like she doesn't already have that with the Lawsons) marriage to a 13 year old boy or risk a business venture between his company and the Middle East. S4E8: Togetherness, which aired on November 12, 1988. In this episode the Brindles and the Lawsons compete on Beat Thy Neighbor, a gameshow. This was a fun episode. I hope you enjoy the episodes and I'll be back in late March with episodes S4E9-S4E12.

Have you ever wondered what it takes to truly thrive in your long-term partnership while maintaining your individuality and personal power? In this week's podcast episode—Part 2 of my 3-part series on the Creatrix Method—we're diving into the second pillar: Embracing Erotic Intelligence. The most fulfilling, long-term partnerships aren't about fusing into one identity—they're about finding the balance between togetherness and separateness. It's about showing up with your own essence, thought leadership, and clarity, so that when you connect with your partner, you're bringing your full self to the table. Here's what I cover in this episode:

Why is community important? In this message, Pastor Jamie Nunnally shares how focusing on community can help you level up to the next stage of spiritual growth.Community is togetherness. It's gathering around a common faith and relying on one another for help, support and guidance—both naturally and spiritually. It's doing life together.U.S. Surgeon General Dr. Vivek Murthy wrote the country a letter and said, "As I finish my tenure as Surgeon General, this is my parting prescription, my final wish for all of us: choose community."Reports show that Americans are lonelier than ever. The American Psychiatric Association reported in 2024 that 30% of US adults say they have experienced feelings of loneliness at least once a week, and 30% of young adults say they feel lonely every day.Community is not connectivity, assembly, or being friendly.We have confused community with connectivity. The connectivity of the digital age is convenient, but it is a counterfeit of true community.We have also confused community with being friendly. Community is based on being authentic, not just being nice to one another.We have also confused community with assembly. True community requires that we engage with one other, not just gather together. In scripture, the word for community in Greek is koinonia - fellowship, association, sharing, joint participation, intimacy.Acts 2:42 NIV "They devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer."The invitation to follow Christ, is an invitation into community, because other people have been invited, too. Jesus saves individuals, but we grow in groups. Things that kill community:Mistrust – our past wounds cause us to view others through a lense of suspicion.Perfectionism – everything and everybody should be perfect. Being Fake – unwillingness to be real, vulnerable and accountable.You need community.1. It helps you.Ecclesiastes 4:9-10 NLT 2. It matures you.You don't get better by being comfortable.  Strength comes from stretching.1 John 4:19-21 You can't love God and not love His kids. Learning to love people teaches you about God because that what He does.3. It heals you.James 5:16 NLTMany Christians are forgiven of their sin, but they are not healed from it because they have refused to embrace community.  How Do We Level Up Through Community?1. Hang out.Make time to be with other people.Acts 5:42 Jesus had groups of 3 (close friends), 12 (spiritual family), 70 (ministry), 120 (acquaintances), & 500 (the church).Hebrews 10:25 "And let us not neglect our meeting together, as some people do, but encourage one another, especially now that the day of his return is drawing near."2. Help out.You can grow spiritually by investing in others.Galatians 6:10Serve your city and serve your church family. Galatians 6:2  Independence and dependence aren't healthy - we are called to interdependence.Are you using community to level up?

Togetherness with GodYo, what's good! This podcast is close to my heart, and a word that has changed my life. God spoke to me recently about getting back to the place and posture of togetherness with Him. He said something I will never forget, in a time where I was anxious, and busy and trying to lead my own life. He said, “I struggle watching you.” I felt His heart and love for me in that moment, and it felt communicated in the tone of a parent who watches their child wander and hurt, but isn't able to help them. I then continued to receive more word about simply walking with Him again, letting Him in on all of those moments that might be tough or feel insignificant, because He truly wants to be apart of it all. God is a loving Father, faithful friend, corrector, Savior, healer and so much more. All we have to do is engage with Him. Enjoy this, and please, don't hesitate to share with a friend or loved one. Love you. - JET
