Podcasts about Troubled Times

India és Pakisztán 1947-es szétválását több millió ember szenvedése kísérte végig. A térségből kivonuló Brit Birodalom egy sebtében meghúzott határvonallal kettéosztotta a volt gyarmat területét; az újonnan létrejött országokban pedig elszabadult a káosz. Rengetegen kényszerültek arra, hogy elhagyják otthonaikat, miközben a különböző vallási csoportok közötti ellentétek véres leszámolásokba torkollottak.  Források: Yasmin Khan: The Great Partition című könyv Larry Collins – Dominique Lapierre: Szabadság éjfélkor című könyv John Eledge - Brief History of the World in 47 Borders című könyv Tim Marshall - A földrajz fogságában című könyv John Zubrzycki - Dethroned: The Downfall of India's Princely States Sohini Majumdar - Calcutta Riots of August 1946: Muslim Experiences from the Troubled Times című tanulmány https://affairsmastery.com/mountbatten-plan-1947-background-about-main-points-important-notes/ https://www.telegraphindia.com/world/plan-balkan-that-hit-jawaharlal-nehru-wall/cid/1879834 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-YB8IoU46EE .

We're living in a time where the word "crisis" is thrown around everywhere: climate crisis, housing crisis, mental health crisis, the list goes on. But while it can feel like the world is living on edge, humans manage to push through. James Cairns, professor in the Department of Indigenous Studies, Law and Social Justice at Wilfrid Laurier University and writer of In Crisis, On Crisis: Essays in Troubled Times, explores this in his latest essay. He joins Evan to share what inspired him to write this essay and how we can all stay grounded in uncertain times.

Paul spent 6 years in various prisons and not because he put dodgy mushrooms in someones stew, he just had a point of view that upset the religious leaders of his time.  But he never seemed to let it get him down.  He wrote letters and found ways to be useful.  Hope in times like this is rare and worth exploring.  Somehow a combination of purpose, secure identity and faith created the sort of hope he was able to draw upon.  As Chuck Nolan played by Tom Hanks in the movie Castaway says, you never know what the tide will bring in.    Maybe we can all do the same.  

In a world that often feels divided the concept of tolerance takes on a new meaning. In the latest episode of our podcast, I would like us to explore the idea of practicing tolerance not as a passive act, but as a radical choice that reflects our deepest values. Acknowledging the unprecedented challenges we face today, "Who are we choosing to be in this moment?" Asking ourselves this question encourages us to reflect on our actions and the narratives we create about ourselves during difficult times. Having a legacy mindset shifts our focus from performative activism to meaningful contributions that align with our values. Are you ready to rise and shine?

The reality of impermanence and the inevitable experience of loss is enough in life to give us a wound. On the path of transformation, we need a broken heart that only God—which can be referred to in many ways such as the Divine or the Absolute—can heal. Heartbreak is extreme in the times we are living in. Bittersweet has an in-between quality where we experience different deep feelings at the same time. Caring is needed to work with bittersweetness in an alchemical way. Grief is a spiritual enzyme. A broken heart encompasses the suffering of the world; it can be inspirational and turn us to want to relieve the suffering of others. A broken heart can teach us how to pray and have humility in the face of the awe, wonder, and mystery of creation. We can't understand the Divine, but we can cultivate trust which may start with recognizing that we don't. It's important to stay present to anger and outrage until we get underneath to the sadness that is there, which can allow the transcendent to come into play and for a hallelujah to arise. It's easy to bypass our personal wounds. We may see parts of us as enemies, but we only change by loving all of ourselves, which is not about indulgence. Personal wounds are a way into the objective wound of a broken heart. The Sage is established in universal love and loves us as we are. When we have a clear moment, we can re-affirm our intention to the Universe. When we feel lost, we can do the next right thing. Freely offering gratuitous goodness is a gesture of love. The point of living may be to experience both the human and the transcendent.

2025-07-08 | Dharma Talk | Living the Paramitas in Troubled Times | Ellen Hippard by Appamada

In this sermon “Staying Vigilant in Troubled Times” urges believers to remain spiritually alert amid a morally chaotic and deceptive culture that reflects the warnings in 2 Timothy 3. Pastor Willie emphasizes the danger of counterfeit faith and worldly influences—especially through technology—and calls Christians to pursue genuine transformation through God's power, not just religious appearances. Ultimately, the message challenges individuals, especially parents and spiritual leaders, to guard their homes, choose godly influences, and live differently as part of God's called-out people.

In this powerful episode, Roger Morris emphasizes that the upcoming 12 months are a period of harvest and plunder, urging you to look beyond the ordinary blessings and see the double portion God has in store.

What do we do when the world feels like it's unraveling? How to respond when our systems—political, economic, medical—feel brittle, even broken? It's easy to fall into despair, or look away. But maybe what we're being asked to do is look closer. To stay present.In this conversation with Ed Neal and Mel Hopper Koppelman, we explore the edges where medicine, ecology, and culture meet. Both are thinkers who don't shy away from complexity. Ed draws from classical Chinese texts and ecological systems. Mel, from her knowledge of science and systems thinking.Listen into this discussion as we explore the role of Chinese medicine in times of crisis, the importance of narrative and metaphor in clinical work, how despair and possibility coexist, and the invitation to practice medicine as an act of presence and participation.

We're back with another AFTN Soccer Show packed full of Vancouver Whitecaps, Major League Soccer, Canadian Championship, Canadian Premier League, and general football chat. The Whitecaps put in their worst performance of the season, but still came away with a battling point in a scoreless draw down in Austin. We delve into the main talking points coming away from a match that was an off day for many and unfortunately all in the same game. A mere blip or some cause for concern that the brutal schedule is catching up with the 'Caps ahead of their CONCACAF Champions Cup final? That schedule continues apace as the 'Caps kick off their quest for a Canadian Championship fourpeat in Winnipeg. We preview the Valour game and hear from their head coach Phillip Dos Santos. Plus we sit down for a chat with the man whose penalty in last year's Voyageurs Cup final clinched the vital victory that set up this year's historic Champions Cup run, Bjorn Inge Utvik. We chat with Bjorn about that spot kick, the tournament, the cup run, having a fellow Scandinavian as head coach, and life in Vancouver. Plus we round up all the week's action in MLS and the CPL, look at the FIFA Congress coming to Vancouver next year, and music-wise Scottish band Baby Chaos continue their residency as our Album of the Month, we've a Britpop classic from Pulp, and we celebrate Crystal Palace's historic and joy-inducing FA Cup win in Wavelength.

What if the church was never meant to be a waiting room for heaven—but a community that builds paradise now? Recorded live at Phillips Seminary during the 2025 Remind & Renew Conference, Loren Richmond Jr. sits down with Dr. Rita Nakashima Brock to reflect on the decline of religious institutions, the collapse of reliable media, and how early Christian communities cultivated paradise on earth—not just in theory, but through shared meals, practices, and mutual care. Drawing on her groundbreaking book Saving Paradise, Brock calls for a return to rituals that ground us in community, memory, and moral accountability.

Quina Aragon is a spoken word poet who knows what it means to wrestle honestly with God and “pour out her troubles before him.” Through her journey with chronic illness, she has embraced the practice of lament in her prayers and poems. Along the way, she has learned that God brings beauty from the ashes of our pain, suffering, and questions. Tune in to hear her story and hear her perform one of her poems!  Love Has a Story: 100 Meditations on the Enduring Love of God by Quina Aragon  Prophetic Lament: A Call for Justice in Troubled Times by Soong-Chan Rah  “To All the Poets” by Andrew Peterson  The Joy Luck Club by Amy Tan Work is one of the biggest ways we reflect and worship God. Many people have forgotten the value of work, and feel a sense of meaninglessness. This month, we will send you the book Full Time: Work and the Meaning of Life by David Bahnsen for a gift if any amount to the Colson Center.
