Today, they're one of the largest Christian populations in Indonesia, with over 6 million believers. The transformation happened because someone, a German missionary named Ludwig Nommensen, decided their spiritual poverty was unacceptable. That was 190 years ago. Today, 4,473 people groups are still waiting for their Ludwig Nommensen moment. The People Group Adoption Program launches today, and here's how it works: It meets you where you are. You're not being asked to become a missionary in the field (though if God calls you to that, we'll cheer you on). You're being invited to use your current gifts, prayer, advocacy, networking, research to support those who are already called to go. It's strategic. Every people group in our database has been vetted by researchers and field workers. These aren't randomly selected communities. They're the 100 largest frontier people groups, the populations with the least gospel access and the greatest potential for kingdom impact. It grows with your capacity. Whether you're adopting as a family, church, or organization, the commitment adjusts to what you can offer. Some will pray weekly. Others will fund translation projects. A few will end up moving to the field. All contributions matter. When you adopt a people group today, you'll receive: Immediate next steps for your specific adopted group A digital covenant card to mark your commitment Information about your frontier people group Regular updates as we develop more resources and connections Beyond the practical resources, you'll receive something harder to quantify: the knowledge that you're part of a strategic response to the most urgent spiritual need on our planet. The Batak people have been sending missionaries to unreached groups for decades now. Their story didn't end with their own transformation; it multiplied exponentially.

Jesus isn't holding anything back - he's letting the crowd know what it's going to cost to actually follow him. I appreciate that about Jesus - let's get all the cards on the table! We're going to spend a lot of time asking some questions, and these questions aren't necessarily going to be easy to answer. That's okay. Here are the questions that will help us get at the heart of the "cost of discipleship." 1) Who is my "we"? How narrow or wide is the circle that includes "my people"? Are we willing to risk a "we" that goes beyond race, religion, gender, sexuality, politics, etc? 2) What do I think is mine? What do we hold on to more tightly than the divine? 3) What are we willing to hate? In other words, what are we willing to let go - to move beyond? Beliefs? Traditions? What source of safety and security do we trust more than the divine? 4) What version of the faith are we selling? The easy kind? Or the kind that has only one non-negotiable? Self sacrificing, self giving love? Speaker: Aaron Vis Scripture: Luke 14:25-35 http://bible.com/events/49489368

“I welcome every noise around me. No matter what it is: a duck, a fish, a deer farting. [...] You invite it all. And [...] this is [...] when you realize [that] every inch of this planet is occupied and we are sharing and coexisting with other species - [so] how can you ever be alone?” In this edition of Earth.fm podcast Wind Is the Original Radio, curator Melissa Pons speaks to Serge Bulat, a multidisciplinary artist whose work - which spans and hybridizes music, exhibitions, immersive games, radio, field recording, and psychological installations - explores the edges of performance, sound, perception, and identity. Serge is from a Moldovan town divided from Ukraine by a river, with family hailing from both worlds. For this reason, borders are “a prominent subject in [his] work”, which seeks to question topics around unity, differences and similarities, and the utopian aspiration of finding “ways to live in a borderless world”. Earlier this year, he released Phonomundi: Selected Recordings of Heritage Sites and Traditions 2017-2024, an album which draws upon years of recording, sharing, and contributing to projects, causes, and stories close to his heart. Phonomundi is also about engaging with “our absolutely disastrous path away from respecting our ears and respecting our culture and respecting our environment”. Against a backdrop of woozy compositions by Serge, featuring nature soundscape recordings, he and Melissa discuss the trials of having a “noisy” mind, which feels like “war in your head” and means that “it's hard to stop the thinking process” - but which can also lead recordists to “forget about [them]self and [...] start thinking about communities, people that are affected, and [how] that [can be] such an ego drop”. Serge also talks about how ‘now' is illusory, and his “weird relationship with time”: “I guess it might be some form of synesthesia, because I feel time; I feel its thickness and I feel its qualities.” The flow of time is “one of the driving forces behind [him] doing what [he's] doing”, while field recording can provide “the nowest now that there can ever be”. He describes how, after experiencing difficulties with conventional mediation, he managed to develop his own system of meditation around listening, where “time stops [...] [and] you find that serenity and that absolute calmness and, for me, this is when I stop the noise”. As he says, “We're all pieces of [...] a bigger body and we're [...] made of the same substance. [...] I always struggle to put anything like that in words [...]. It's easier for me to put it in music. [...] This is what music and sound does [...] and words don't.” Together, Serge and Melissa also address topics including: The relevance of creative work in the face of the climate catastrophe and alarming political developments across the world - including how music, as a precursor to language, can be “a shortcut [...] to somebody's mind, heart and soul”. While also acknowledging the necessity of “dig[ging] deeper [to] understand the issues [with which] we're living” Wanting to make work of significance despite “sonic pollution, [...] over-tourism, over-consumerism, weird politics that make zero sense when it comes to preserving [...] or nurturing stuff that matters and makes us us” - and especially in light of the fact that everything we know is at risk of “disappearing just by [the] pressing [of] one button” Learning to love silence. As Serge says, “We need to reset our hearing. [...] I feel like [silence] makes the ear function better” How it is possible to “feel and hear” bees' moods from the frequencies of their buzzing, and how bee therapy (‘apitherapy') - known since the time of Ancient Egypt - can improve anxiety, depression, and even respiratory conditions. “What bl[ows] my mind [about them]”, says Serge, is their “self-sufficiency, community, [and the way that they can] solv[e] a crisis [by] relying on each other” Serge's experience of an immersive exhibition in Kraków, Into the Darkness, which replicates what it's like to not be able to see, with blind guides providing insights about their lives, and the equivalence of this to animals replying on different senses than our own (such as spiders and vibrations, or snakes using infrared thermal radiation) The appeal of twilight, “when everything starts becoming blurry” and takes on the quality of a dream, and “the thrill of [darkness] and [the way that] [Serge's] imagination sometimes takes [him to other] places”.

Wiladat of Prophet Muhammad (SAWW) & Imam Jaffer As-Sadiq (AS)September 9th 202516th Rabi Al-Awwal 1447 AH* The lecture begins with congratulations on the birth anniversaries of Prophet Muḥammad al-Muṣṭafā (s) and Imam Ja‘far al-Ṣādiq (a), the founder of the Ja‘fari madhhab.* The Prophet's name carries blessings; naming children “Muḥammad” is highly recommended in Islamic traditions, and homes with this name are sanctified daily.* Imam al-Ṣādiq (a) emphasized that neglecting to name a son Muḥammad (when having several sons) is considered disrespectful to the Prophet.* The Prophet was not a mere messenger like a courier, but an educator perfected by Allah, whose actions and rulings are fully aligned with Divine will.* His moral excellence was recognized even before Islam, as he was known as truthful and trustworthy (al-Amīn).* The Prophet was divinely guided in religious matters: he expanded the units of prayer, added recommended fasts, and clarified prohibitions (e.g., intoxicants) — all of which Allah confirmed.* Obedience to the Prophet is equivalent to obedience to Allah, as the Qur'an (4:80) declares: “Whoever obeys the Messenger has indeed obeyed Allah.”* Traditions show that earlier prophets (Adam, Nūḥ, Ibrāhīm, Mūsā) sought Allah's help through the name of Muḥammad and his family, proving his superior rank.* Imam al-Ṣādiq (a) preserved and explained the Prophet's Sunnah, continuing the role of the Ahlul Bayt as the reliable guardians of Islam.* Following the Qur'an together with the Ahlul Bayt (per ḥadīth al-thaqalayn) is the straight path (ṣirāṭ mustaqīm), ensuring salvation through loyalty and obedience to the Prophet and his family.Donate towards our programs today: https://jaffari.org/donate/Jaffari Community Centre (JCC Live)

Hans Schlegel finally joins the show, and it's everything we hoped for.From his roots on a family farm in northwest Ohio to eight summers selling books, Hans brings stories of go-kart racing, marching band, zoology, bird study, saving a man's life with the Heimlich, and building a family with his wife Laura and their five kids.We dive into his first summer in Joplin, Missouri, those early “canon events” on the book field, the challenges of finding HQs, the grind of first days, and what made him stick it out.

Hey everybody! In this episode, I spoke with Sam Believ. Sam is an interesting guy. I was recently on his podcast and had him on mine. We spoke about Sam's past working as an engineer, his depression that eventually led him to ayahuasca or yagé, and how he eventually founded a center in Colombia. We spoke about these things and some of the culture in Colombia around the traditions and uses of yagé. It was a very interesting conversation and I think you all will gain a lot from Sam's story, his knowledge of yagé and Colombia, and his insights into this medicine.

ground like a blanket.Da: Astrid gik ad den gamle grusvej, hendes skridt lette, men hendes sind tungt af tanker.En: Astrid walked along the old gravel road, her steps light but her mind heavy with thoughts.Da: Hun havde tænkt meget over, hvordan hun kunne bringe sin familie tættere sammen igen.En: She had been thinking a lot about how she could bring her family closer together again.Da: I dag

coziness and joy filled the air.Da: Astrid huskede, hvordan hendes familie plejede at glæde sig over denne begivenhed.En: Astrid remembered how her family used to delight in this event.Da: Men efter deres forældres død, var traditionen visnet bort.En: But after their parents' death, the tradition had withered away.Da: Hendes bror Lars mente, det ikke var værd at genoptage.En: Her brother Lars thought it wasn't worth reviving.Da: "Fortiden er fortiden," sagde han tit.En: "The past is the past," he often said.Da: Astrid følte dog noget andet.En: However, Astrid felt differently.Da: Hun henvendte sig til deres yngre fætter, Mikkel.En: She approached their younger cousin, Mikkel.Da: "Vil du ikke med?"En: "Don't you want to come?"Da: spurgte hun med et håb i stemmen.En: she asked, hope

med håndlavede genstande, og musikken spillede munterligt i baggrunden.En: There were stalls with handmade items, and music played merrily in the background.Da: Astrid og Mikkel gik hen til den gamle laden, hvor en gruppe dansede folkedanse.En: Astrid and Mikkel went to the old barn, where a group was dancing folk dances.Da: Astrid tog en dyb indånding og gik hen til dem.En: Astrid took a deep breath and walked over to them.Da: Hun trak Mikkel med sig, og snart blev de en del af den snoede række.En: She pulled Mikkel with her, and soon they became part of the winding line.Da: Folk begyndte at lægge mærke til dem.En: People began to notice them.Da: En venlig murmur steg op i skaren.En: A friendly murmur rose from the crowd.Da: Astrid kunne mærke angsten slippe sit tag, erstattet af glæde.En: Astrid could feel the anxiety release its grip, replaced by joy.Da: "Kom nu, Mikkel," råbte hun med et smil.En: "Come on, Mikkel," she shouted with a smile.Da: De dansede, som om de aldrig havde været væk, som om deres forældre stod der med dem.En: They danced as if they had never been away, as if their parents were there with them.Da: Fra kanten af festivalen så Lars til.En: From the edge of the festival, Lars watched.Da: Noget rørte ved hans hjerte, da han så sin søster smile.En: Something touched his heart as he saw his sister smile.Da: Han huskede de dage, hvor de alle havde været sammen.En: He remembered the days when they had all been together.Da: Noget blødt og varmt fandt vej til hans indre.En: Something soft and warm found its way into his heart.Da: Til sidst gav han

hånd uden et ord.En: When he reached Astrid, she took his hand without a word.Da: Han smilte skævt tilbage og sluttede sig til dansen.En: He smiled wryly back and joined the dance.Da: Efter dansen stod Lars, Astrid og Mikkel tilbage, stadig let forpustede og grinende.En: After the dance, Lars, Astrid, and Mikkel stood back, still slightly out of breath and laughing.Da: "Måske... måske tager jeg fejl," sagde Lars blidt, "måske er traditioner vigtigere, end jeg troede."En: "Maybe... maybe I was wrong," Lars said gently, "maybe traditions are more important than I thought."Da: Astrid nikkede, tilfreds.En: Astrid nodded, satisfied.Da: De var måske ikke altid enige, men i dag havde de fundet en fælles grund.En: They might not always agree, but today they had found common ground.Da: De tre gik hjem ad grusvejen, natten nærmede sig, og stjernerne begyndte at glimte.En: The three walked home along the gravel road, night approaching, and the stars beginning to twinkle.Da: "Det var en god dag," tænkte Astrid og mærkede en ny begyndelse inden i sig.En: "It was a good day," thought Astrid, feeling a new beginning inside herself.Da: De var én familie igen, bundet sammen af minder om fortiden og håb for fremtiden.En: They were one family again, bound together by memories of the past and hope for the future.

Today, they're one of the largest Christian populations in Indonesia, with over 6 million believers. The transformation happened because someone, a German missionary named Ludwig Nommensen, decided their spiritual poverty was unacceptable. That was 190 years ago. Today, 4,473 people groups are still waiting for their Ludwig Nommensen moment. The People Group Adoption Program launches today, and here's how it works: It meets you where you are. You're not being asked to become a missionary in the field (though if God calls you to that, we'll cheer you on). You're being invited to use your current gifts, prayer, advocacy, networking, research to support those who are already called to go. It's strategic. Every people group in our database has been vetted by researchers and field workers. These aren't randomly selected communities. They're the 100 largest frontier people groups, the populations with the least gospel access and the greatest potential for kingdom impact. It grows with your capacity. Whether you're adopting as a family, church, or organization, the commitment adjusts to what you can offer. Some will pray weekly. Others will fund translation projects. A few will end up moving to the field. All contributions matter. When you adopt a people group today, you'll receive: Immediate next steps for your specific adopted group A digital covenant card to mark your commitment Information about your frontier people group Regular updates as we develop more resources and connections Beyond the practical resources, you'll receive something harder to quantify: the knowledge that you're part of a strategic response to the most urgent spiritual need on our planet. The Batak people have been sending missionaries to unreached groups for decades now. Their story didn't end with their own transformation; it multiplied exponentially. Your adopted people group could be the next

We're going inside Hermann Hesse's timeless classic, 'Siddhartha,' with Bro. Jonathan Kopel as our guide. We'll explore Siddhartha's journey of self-discovery, examining themes of enlightenment, the search for truth, and the nature of wisdom. Through the lens of Masonic philosophy, we'll uncover the symbolic parallels between Siddhartha's path and the ancient teachings of the Craft. Discover how the river of life, the pursuit of knowledge, and the importance of inner experience resonate with both Hesse's narrative and the principles of Freemasonry.Show notes: Join us on Patreon.

In this episode, I introduce a new era: shifting from monthly Energy Updates to Energy Blueprints. A blueprint is more than a report of energies—it's the living design we co-create together. September's blueprint is anchored in the theme of weaving and co-creation, preparing us for the powerful 9/9/9 completion portal.Together, we explore how to move from convergence into coherence, softening our individual threads into a greater tapestry of remembrance. With support from the Grandmother Weavers, the Crystalline Children, the Dragons, and our galactic allies, we attune to crystalline clarity, flexibility, and unity consciousness. Join me as we step beyond the lone-wolf template, embrace the art of co-creation, and anchor the next chapter of our collective evolution.Join The Light Weaver Quantum Mastery Fall 2025 Cohort!

Feeling the urge to buy new pens or lunchboxes—even though your kids aren't going “back to school”? You're not alone! In this heartfelt episode, Kelly and Ashley dive deep into the rituals and traditions that sneak into home education, and how social conditioning around “back-to-school” can trigger anxiety, guilt, or FOMO—even for seasoned home ed families. We unpack: Why back-to-school shopping and new routines tug at our emotions (even when we know we don't need them) The difference between meaningful family traditions and habits that are just social pressure in disguise How to create authentic, empowering rituals that suit your unique home ed lifestyle Letting go of external judgment, performance anxiety, and the need to “keep up” Practical ways to build core memories and intentional family traditions—without the overwhelm Plus, we share real-life stories, gentle mindset shifts, and plenty of laughs about muddy camping clothes, first impressions, and the power of saying “no” to unnecessary expectations.

Episode #387: “I think vipassana has always been a response to crisis, not just a quest for spiritual purity,” says Gustaaf Houtman, anthropologist and author of Traditions of Buddhist Practice in Burma and Mental Culture in Burmese Crisis Politics. Drawing on decades of research and immersion in the culture, Houtman connects meditation, language, politics, and cultural history, revealing a view of Burma's Buddhist traditions that resists Western simplifications. Houtman contrasts Western notions of religion—rooted in belief in abstract doctrines and separated from culture—with the Burmese concept of sāsana, the Buddha's dispensation, which is integrally embedded in historical and social life. He juxtaposes sāsana with bodha-batha, a term coined by the 19th century American missionary Adoniram Judson, which reframed Buddhism as a belief-based “-ism,” comparable to Christianity. This, Houtman argues, was not simply linguistic but ideological as well. In response, Burmese reformers emphasized Pāḷi terms like sāsana to defend Buddhism's historical and cultural depth, turning language into “a site of resistance” against Western cultural hegemony. This framework illuminates the importance of lineage in Burmese meditation. Unlike monastic ordination, which is formally documented, meditation instruction is informal and personal, requiring validation from respected teachers— and it rarely goes in a straight line. U Ba Khin's reliance on Webu Sayadaw's endorsement exemplifies how Burmese meditation culture depends on networks of trust and recognition. Houtman contrasts this complexity with S. N. Goenka's simplified lineage narrative, which, while pedagogically effective, erases the historical crises— British colonialism, military dictatorship, and cultural reform— that gave rise to vipassana. He links this history to Ledi Sayadaw, whose reforms empowered laypeople to sustain Buddhism during colonial rule, paving the way for later teachers like Mahasi Sayadaw and U Ba Khin. Meditation in Burma, Houtman emphasizes, has long been entwined with social and cultural life, politics, and survival, and is a source of cultural pride. Today, he supports exiled Burmese scholars through what he calls “academic activism,” insisting that understanding Burma requires joining its ongoing historical struggle. “If you stay with it, you will be drawn in.

Today, they're one of the largest Christian populations in Indonesia, with over 6 million believers. The transformation happened because someone, a German missionary named Ludwig Nommensen, decided their spiritual poverty was unacceptable. That was 190 years ago. Today, 4,473 people groups are still waiting for their Ludwig Nommensen moment. The People Group Adoption Program launches today, and here's how it works: It meets you where you are. You're not being asked to become a missionary in the field (though if God calls you to that, we'll cheer you on). You're being invited to use your current gifts, prayer, advocacy, networking, research to support those who are already called to go. It's strategic. Every people group in our database has been vetted by researchers and field workers. These aren't randomly selected communities. They're the 100 largest frontier people groups, the populations with the least gospel access and the greatest potential for kingdom impact. It grows with your capacity. Whether you're adopting as a family, church, or organization, the commitment adjusts to what you can offer. Some will pray weekly. Others will fund translation projects. A few will end up moving to the field. All contributions matter. When you adopt a people group today, you'll receive: Immediate next steps for your specific adopted group A digital covenant card to mark your commitment Information about your frontier people group Regular updates as we develop more resources and connections Beyond the practical resources, you'll receive something harder to quantify: the knowledge that you're part of a strategic response to the most urgent spiritual need on our planet. The Batak people have been sending missionaries to unreached groups for decades now. Their story didn't end with their own transformation; it multiplied exponentially. Your adopted people group could be the next

Halima Gosai Hussein is the former chair of the Inclusive Mosque Initiative. Giles Goddard is an Anglican priest and author of Generous Faith. On paper, their traditions could hardly be more different. But their paths converged through a shared commitment to inclusion — Giles in the work of building an open and affirming church, Halima through her leadership with the Inclusive Mosque Initiative. In this conversation, they reflect on the faith they inherited, the shifts and struggles that reshaped it, and what it means to remain rooted while reimagining what faith can be. They speak with honesty about belonging and exclusion, the tensions of staying within a tradition that can wound, and the unexpected common ground they've found across theological, cultural, and historical divides. This episode is an invitation to eavesdrop on a rare kind of dialogue: one that isn't about winning an argument or defending a position, but about curiosity, respect, and shared hope for a more loving, just, and spacious spiritual landscape. Conversation starts at 15m 19s.  This conversation was recorded at Morley Radio studio.  Books, quotes, links → The creation of Nomad's thoughtful, ad-free content is entirely funded by our equally thoughtful and wonderful listeners.

Today Dr. Anders answers your questions including: -What are traditions and magisterium? I really only know about the BIble." -Why do Catholics believe in the Filioque and Orthodox Christians do not? -Jesus says the possibility of rich people going to heaven is slim.
