Podcasts about unconditional acceptance

We are recording Season 3 of the Resilient Birth podcast. Meanwhile we have selected our favorite episodes for you. This week Sarah introduces us to Max, who has brought so much joy and comfort to her life over the last few months. Using a quote from Dog Medicine by Julie Barton, Sarah brings insight into the healing power of animals, particularly dogs, who can offer such unconditional loving support and shares her own experience with Max, who came into her life a few months ago and nourishes her as a person and mother.Throughout the episode, Justine and Sarah explore the profound impact that pets, particularly dogs, have on emotional well-being and the importance of unconditional acceptance in relationships. They discuss how animals provide a safe space for expressing emotions, the challenges of navigating uncomfortable feelings, and the role of pets in parenting. Justine and Sarah discuss the challenges humans seem to face in offering the same kind of nonjudgmental acceptance and warmth that pets such as dogs can provide. We talk about how pregnant, birthing and postpartum individuals often feel that the people from whom they are seeking support and care, such as family members, partners, doulas, midwives, Obs, lactation consultants and other perinatal professionals, are often uncomfortable with uncomfortable conversations. It is understandable that, in our discomfort, we try to fix the problem rather than listen, but this means that parents and parents-to-be do not feel understood by us. Justine and Sarah talk about what we can learn from animals like dogs for whom it is so intuitive to meet people where they are and how we can show up for our clients who are navigating challenges in the journey to motherhood and parenting as a witness who walks into darkness alongside them. We end by exploring the power of 'just being', both of us grasping for words that take us beyond being the idea of 'being myself' to a more grounded concept of what it might mean to 'be with another.' The conversation emphasizes the need for self-care, the significance of being present with others, and the art of just being without the pressure to perform. Ultimately, they highlight the magic that can happen when individuals connect authentically with themselves and others, fostering a sense of community and support.

In episode 174 - When You're Asked to Teach, I share some important insights about creating a safe, loving environment when you are asked to teach, whether that's in a church setting, on a mission, or in any other context. I emphasize the importance of moving away from a "quiz" mentality and instead fostering open conversations where everyone feels welcome to share their thoughts and experiences. I highlight the Savior's example of teaching each person according to their unique needs, and how we can emulate that by truly understanding where people are coming from before trying to teach them. The goal should be to create an atmosphere of unconditional love and acceptance, where the Spirit can freely flow. I encourage listeners to evaluate their own teaching approaches and consider whether they are cultivating this kind of safe, uplifting environment. By doing so, we can help everyone feel inspired, supported, and able to contribute meaningfully to the conversation, just as the Savior did. The key is moving away from a focus on "right" and "wrong" answers, and instead opening up the dialogue for all to participate. As always, if you found this episode helpful, I want to invite you to subscribe if you aren't already, share this episode with your friends and missionaries you know, and write a review. I know this work will help missionaries around the world and it would mean so much to me if you did.

In this episode of our summer school series, I delve into a powerful passage from Garry Landreth's "The Art of the Relationship." I explore the concept of children's unique personalities and how they affect their therapeutic journey. Using Landreth's vivid analogies of children being like popcorn, molasses, mushrooms, or orchids, I discuss the importance of accepting and respecting each child's individual pace and style in therapy. I emphasize the core principle of child-centered play therapy: unconditional acceptance of children as they are. I explain why it's crucial for therapists to be patient with both quick-blooming "mushroom" children and slow-developing "orchid" children. I also address the common challenge of managing expectations from parents and other adults who may not understand our non-directive approach. Finally, I share a touching anecdote about a play therapist in Iran setting up her playroom, highlighting the global impact of child-centered play therapy. I encourage listeners to remember the significance of every moment spent with a child in the playroom and the lifelong impact it can have. Episode Reference: Landreth, G.L. (2023).

Welcome back to Friendship Therapy and our first bitesize episode, where Emma shares her therapeutic takeaways from her conversation with this week's guests, Janine and Julia.In this bitesize episode, Emma dives into the concept of yin and yang, a term that Janine and Julia use to describe themselves and their friendship. Emma explains how the contrasting dots of colour in the yin and yang symbol represent the need for chaos and control to exist harmoniously, and how this concept can help us to identify what we might need more of in our own lives.Emma also encourages us to think about what we can and want to offer in friendship, why we don't have to tick every single box on someone else's friendship application form, and how our childhood friendships can be updated and nurtured to reflect who we are in the present.If you'd like to apply to appear on the podcast in season two, please click the link below to fill out the form:   https://forms.gle/owsfs6DVxVdTMFo46  ---Friendship Therapy is hosted by Emma Reed Turrell, produced by Chris Sharp and Lauren Brook.--- Social media:  Emma Reed Turrell @emmareedturrellFriendship Therapy @friendshiptherapypodEmail: contact@friendshiptherapypod.co.uk

Everywhere around us, people are judged and discarded at a moment. Say the wrong thing? We're done with you. Not know the best way to say something or have the wrong words to communicate what you mean do say? It's over! But this is not the Way of the Kingdom of Heaven! The Way of Jesus is profoundly counter cultural in that it leads us in Unconditional Acceptance in a Conditional Culture. That is acceptance of the person who bears the divine image in human form and who is worthy of love for that very fact. We grow, we teach, but we trust judgment to the hand of God as we love people into the Kingdom of Heaven and maturity in the Spirit.

When eating, eat." - Zen proverb   Explanation: This quote invites us to embrace the practice of mindfulness in our daily activities. Self-transcendence occurs when we bring our full presence and attention to each moment, fully engaging with the task at hand. By eliminating distractions and focusing on the simplicity of the present moment, we can cultivate a deeper sense of connection, clarity, and fulfillment. Actionable item: Choose one daily activity, such as walking, eating, or brushing your teeth, and commit to doing it mindfully. Pay attention to the physical sensations, smells, tastes, and textures involved in the activity. Let go of distractions and be fully present. Journaling prompt: Reflect on a recent experience where you consciously practiced mindfulness during an everyday activity. How did it deepen your connection to the present moment? What insights or revelations did you gain from this practice of self-transcendence?

In this episode excerpts from The Heart of Buddha's Teachings with Thich Nhat Hahn were contemplated. "We have to nourish our insight into impermanence every day. If we do, we will live more deeply, suffer less, and enjoy life much more. Living deeply, we will touch the foundation of reality, nirvana, the world of no-bith and no-death. Touching impermanence deeply, we touch the world beyond permanence and impermanence. We touch the ground of being and see that which we have called being and nonbeing are just notions. Nothing is ever lost. Nothing is ever gained."

I'm wondering, something has changed in me.  I honestly think it's a combination of things but as most things we discuss, I can't put my finger on it.  I honestly feel much more tolerant of other people and their beliefs.   Today we talk about acceptance. Of others.

This episode is by far one of the most personal and vulnerable of the Marriage and Martinis podcast yet. In this special episode, Adam and Danielle's oldest child, 15-year-old Mia Silverstein comes on to discuss her experience grappling with sexual identity, and what she wants kids and parents everywhere to know about self, family, and social acceptance as someone in the LGBTQ community. What was "coming out" like for her? How has social media both helped and hindered her experience with self-confidence and establishing her identity? Why have movies, TV, and books been such a source of solace and connection for her, and which have had the most impact on her experience?

Pathfinder Church | July 10, 2022 | Doug MaussPaul had it made. His life was set as a very prominent and successful Pharisee. But when he became captured by the Gospel, he realized that the exclusivity and elitism of Pharisaical life was NOT in line with the heart of God. Paul's life took a dramatic turn as he suffered a lot of misunderstanding and judgment to bring the Gospel to people that were seen as unlovable and far from God. Anyone who has walked the path of “unconditional acceptance” has experienced similar misunderstanding and suffering. How do you protect from what critics fear most: How do you know when you've gone too far? Website | https://pathfinderstl.orgOnline Giving | https://pathfinderstl.org/givePodcasts | https://pathfinderstl.org/podcastsFacebook | https://facebook.com/pathfinderstlInstagram | https://instagram.com/pathfinderstlSt. John School | http://stjls.orgContact Us | churchinfo@pathfinderstl.org

Re:Hope Southside

In this episode I share how I'm learning to accept, love and have compassion for all that I am instead of shaming and forcing myself into being or feeling something different than I am. Thanks for being here! Xo❤️ Chanie

Rejection is a powerful force of the devil that limits our existence. But when we accept one another just as Christ accepted us, God is glorified and people's lives are transformed.   Bible Reading: Romans 15–16 Verse of the day: Romans 15:7, “Accept one another, then, just as Christ accepted you, in order to bring praise to God.” Word of the day is: Accept. It is the Greek word: προσλαμβάνω (pros-lam-ban'-o).

Carl Rogers was one of the best known practitioners of total unconditional acceptance (aka TUA). In this Take 10 segment, Dr. Lance and Carl Wallnau discuss aspects of TUA and the importance of ascribing positive intention to the activity of others so we can better understand them and their aspirations. Only once we understand the intention can we partner with the potential future our clients, friends, family members wish to see in reality. You DO NOT want to miss this pivotal Take 10!

In this episode, Laurie and Ann talk with Charles Lerner, Executive Director of At The Crossroads, which reaches out to homeless youth and young adults at their point of need, and works with them to build healthy and fulfilling lives. Charles shares about his own experience in the foster system and then dealing with acute homelessness and how it shaped the person he is today. We talk about the false narratives we tell ourselves and how unconditional love can change everything for kids aging out of the foster system. This episode is an invitation to remember what it looks like to try to rewind in order to understand what formed a person into who they are today. Charles's story is one of both pain and redemption--and a clear reminder to us all that we can be part of the healing journey of anyone we meet.Heromakers can be found on IG @heromakersmovement and on FB @heromakersmovement.

Catchy right? We thought so too, but we mean quite literally! Being caught in the feels of acceptance is where we can sense unconditional love. Whether it's from the individual themselves, or it's coming from us, accepting all parts just as the way they are, is the mastery of understanding what unconditional love actually is. Both Syd and Ang have made these breakthroughs but in completely different areas of their lives. It's a definite must listen with your favourite drink and a notepad and pen handy. Get ready to learn, love, and find your unconditional acceptance.Want to get directly in our energy?

Host John Bartlett talks to Christine Hassing, an author, leadership mentor, and inspirational speaker. Christine's soulmate dog, Roo, inspired her first memoir “To the Moon and Back to Me” and sparked her passion for writing. But while her first book focused on her own dog relationship, her new book “Hope Has a Cold Nose” illuminates the stories of veterans and the healing power of their service dogs. Dealing with PTSD, veterans are able to find a friend they need through their furry companion's unconditional acceptance.

On the Name "Lutheran." By Larry Beane “I ask that my name be left silent and people not call themselves Lutheran, but rather Christians. Who is Luther? The doctrine is not mine. I have been crucified for no one. St. Paul in 1 Cor. 3:4-5 would not suffer that the Christians should call themselves of Paul or of Peter, but Christian. How should I, a poor stinking bag of worms, become so that the children of Christ are named with my unholy name? It should not be dear friends. Let us extinguish all factious names and be called Christians whose doctrine we have. The pope's men rightly have a factious name because they are not satisfied with the doctrine and name of Christ and want to be with the pope, who is their master. I have not been and will not be a master. Along with the church I have the one general teaching of Christ who alone is our master. Matt. 23:8.” — MARTIN LUTHER, 1522, *ADMONITION AGAINST INSURRECTION* The name “Lutheran” was coined as a pejorative by the papal theologian Johann Eck some time between 1520 and 1522. It was also used by Pope Hadrian VI, the successor to Leo X. The intent was to give the impression that “Lutheranism” was a heresy named after Luther - the way “Arianism” was named after Arius, and “Montanism” was named after Montanus, etc. The above quote, in response to this use of the term “Lutheran,” registers Dr. Luther's vehement objection. The word “Lutheran” never appears in our Book of Concord. The word “Evangelical”, used as an adjective to describe either our churches or our faith, appears eight times. The word “catholic” appears thirteen times (not counting its use in the ecumenical creeds). In fact, the Lutheran Church is referred to as “the true and genuine catholic Church” in the signature block of the Treatise. And yet, with all of the above duly noted, Charles Porterfield Krauth points out, citing Gerhard, that “in the ancient Church the Arians styled those who held the true faith as Athanasians.” Of course, the popular name of the Quicunque Vult - the Athanasian Creed - uses this term “Athanasian” in this way, as Athanasius did not write it and was long dead by the time it was written. The Third Ecumenical Creed reflects the “Athanasian” faith - that is, the Orthodox, Catholic, Nicene faith - over and against the Arian faith. As Krauth cites Gerhard: We do not call ourselves Lutherans, but are so styled by our enemies, and we permit it as a token of our consent with the pure teaching of the word which Luther set forth. We suffer ourselves to bear his name, not as of one who has invented a new faith, but of one who has restored the old, and purified the Church [emphasis original]. Moreover, not all Lutheran churches in the world are called “Lutheran.” Krauth points out that: In Poland and Hungary, the official title of our communion is ‘CHURCH OF THE AUGSBURG CONFESSION,' and this is the name which, on the title-page of the Form [sic] of Concord, and repeatedly within it, is given to our churches. This way of describing themselves remains true among Lutheran bodies in modern Poland and Slovakia - though neither of these church bodies is in fellowship with the LCMS. So should we continue to use the name today? Our confession has been known around the world as “Lutheran” for nearly five centuries. It is a kind of shorthand that identifies us as churches of the Augsburg Confession, and serves to separate us from the Reformed and Anabaptist wings of the Reformation. The name has stuck to us the way that taunts from the enemy often do in wartime, as with the British taunt of “Yankee Doodle” to mock the “Yankee” army, and with the Yankee taunt of “Rebel” to mock the Confederate “Rebels” less than a century later. Though these names were put upon them by their opponents, sometimes the name sticks - and what was intended as a banner of shame becomes a banner of solidarity. There is a contemporary trend to eschew the name “Lutheran” in LCMS churches - although I have never seen an example of such a congregation replacing “Lutheran” with “Church of the Augsburg Confession.” In every case that I have seen, removing “Lutheran” is a distancing of the congregation from the confessional label out of fear of alienating potential new members. Perhaps it is seen as stodgy and incongruous with a more modern “spiritual but not religious” culture. Rather than adopting a historical description of our confession as an alternative to “Lutheran,”, such as “Evangelical” or “Catholic,” the move seems to be one of disassociating of oneself from the idea of being a “Lutheran” church. I have never seen a liturgical, traditional, and confessional congregation drop the name Lutheran. I have seen this phenomenon among “big box,” non-liturgical, and non-traditional churches. In this context, it is as though a child changes his last name because he is ashamed of his family, or especially doesn't want to be associated with his father, or with other relatives who bear the same name. It certainly gives the impression that the name is sullied, and implies a sense of the desire to separate oneself from those who continue to be thus identified. I know of one congregation that was recently renamed nearly a hundred years into its history, in which not only “Lutheran” was removed, but even the name of God was taken out of the non-committal, generic new name - which reflects merely the neighborhood where the church is located. Needless to say, this is not a congregation where Gottesdienst would be available to pick up in the narthex on the way out, though it was a formerly traditional congregation. Another example is an LCMS congregation whose impressive website never mentions the word “Lutheran.” The “Who We Are” tab says that the congregation “is a place to belong as you change, and change as you follow Jesus. We want to help people realize all God has for them in a life-changing relationship with Jesus, give people a safe place to belong, and teach people what it means to follow Jesus.” Their values are: "Prayer, Applications of Scripture, Spiritual Growth, Integrity, Outreach, Families, Small Groups.” The list of values does not include the Cross, the Gospel, Holy Baptism, the Lord's Supper, or the Resurrection. Their mission statement is equally bland and bereft of the cross, mentioning “change” and “relationship.” There are “Weekend Worship Experiences” and “Wednesday Experiences.” Yet another example is a very old congregation that used to bear the name of one of the apostles followed by the name “Lutheran Church.” A few years ago, they made a big deal of their new generic name that has excised both the apostle's name and the name “Lutheran.” Their website shows a huge stage as well as scenes of multitudes of laughing boomers drinking coffee in Starbuck's style plastic cups. Their “About Us” includes their “Approach” which is fourfold: “Unconditional Acceptance, True to Life Approach, Inspiring Connections, and God Directed Journey. “ Neither Jesus nor the cross are mentioned, though they do mention “messages, music, and traditional practices like baptism and communion,” the latter of which is a twice a month affair. Under “What we believe,” there is a begrudging nod to both Lutheranism and the LCMS, as the congregation was “born out of the Lutheran (LCMS) tradition.” That kind of sounds like it is a spinoff of Lutheranism rather than an actual Lutheran church. They also acknowledge their history, beginning with the quote: “The only constant is change” and an invitation to learn more about the congregation's history at “Legacy Hall.” Holy Communion is offered to “all who share in our profession of the Christian faith are encouraged to partake in Holy Communion, provided they Have received Christian Baptism (Acts 2:36-38), Recognize and confess their sinfulness (Proverbs 28:13; 1 John 1:8-9), Forgive others (Matthew 5:21-24; Matthew 6:12) Believe the body and blood of our Lord Jesus Christ are truly present, offered under forms of bread and wine (1 Corinthians 10:16; 1 Corinthians 11:27-29) They also note that “Non-alcoholic wine is offered in the blue section of the communion trays and gluten-free wafers are also available at all communion stations for those with special needs.” I recently ran across another LCMS parish that did not change its name, but its online presence omits the word “Lutheran” in its title and logos. This congregation's self-description lists six “core values,” and not one of them nor their explanations mentions anything about Jesus. These “Core Values” are: “Acceptance… Compassionate Community… Spirit-Led Bible-Based Lutheran Church [that one is a surprise]… Worship… Transformation… Passing on the Passion.” At least they used the name “Lutheran” buried here in the fine print, but as for me, I think that I will indeed “pass on the passion.” They aren't referring to the suffering and death of our Lord. The world has a very different connotation about “passion,” and it is usually a cheesy marketing word. Not only is Jesus missing from these “Core Values,” so is the Gospel. This same congregation also lists six “Worship Values,” and they are: “Non-Judgemental [sic], Biblical Preaching, Good Music, Casual Dress, Fellowship, Fun.” I'm not sure how Law and Gospel (Biblical) preaching can happen without the judgment of the law being part of the equation, nor can I wrap my head around the “Worship Value” that worship is supposed to be “fun.” And how did something so pedestrian and banal as “Casual Dress” become one of the Six Chief Parts of Worship? Most of the congregations that have dropped the name “Lutheran” have dropped the Lutheran liturgy, replacing it with some form of pop-culture entertainment worship, complete with a stage, drum kit, mixing boards, guitars, and emoting vocalist - calling to mind the popular non-denominational or charismatic worship that is big on ginning up emotion but light on the incarnational presence of Christ in Word and Sacrament. Many such churches that have excised the name “Lutheran” make it a point to celebrate the Sacrament of the Altar (such as it is) infrequently - not unlike those confessions that see it only as symbolic. It gives the impression that they are not only ashamed of their confessional subscription, but even of the Eucharist itself. At very least, it didn't make the cut in the above Core Values or Worship Values. One thing that I have noticed that binds all of these rejecters of the name Lutheran is that their worship does not call to mind our shared confession of Apology 24:1: In our churches Mass is celebrated every Sunday and on other festivals when the sacrament is offered to those who wish for it after they have been examined and absolved. We keep traditional liturgical forms, such as the order of the lessons, prayers, vestments, etc. (Tappert translation) Nor do they embody the spirit of the Augustana 24:1 Falsely are our churches accused of abolishing the Mass; for the Mass is retained among us, and celebrated with the highest reverence. (McCain translation) So insofar as those who distance themselves from the name “Lutheran” - and thus distance themselves from the rest of the family who retain our old and venerable name - maybe it is a blessing that they are not readily identified as Lutheran. In removing the name Lutheran, they are mercifully relieving the rest of us of being lumped in with them, at least at first glance. Yes, indeed, there is always something to be thankful for. At some point, perhaps they will, as St. Paul put it in Galatians 5:12, go all the way and cut themselves off in more than name only.

Why is it so important to help our children process their emotions? It's probably because we still need to tend to the inner children that are at each stage of development that live within us. We get to model what it is like to have unconditional acceptance for who we are and WE get to be the change. Helping yourself to help your children to process emotions propels confidence for intentional life reactions and responses and connection to self. There may be moments from your own childhood that you remember where a parent failed to acknowledge your unprocessed emotions due to their own unprocessed emotions, but you never mentioned it due to the fawn response of “playing nice.” Maybe it was too dangerous to say how you really felt. Maybe it threatened others. Maybe there was never space for it. Check in with these emotions- do they create resentment? Uncovering and repairing these situations for growth is an important step to maintaining a close relationship with your self, children and loved ones. Thoughts and feelings come and go. Sometimes seemingly at random. Sometimes they flash back to painful memories of the past and other times people feel good about their experiences. Emotions are associated with memories. Feelings are connected to a structure in the brain that communicates the emotion of the memory, which could either teach us or keep us stuck. I want to touch on the fact that in order to have unconditional acceptance, you get to accept AS iS. When our children share something that sounds exaggerated or out of this world, (for a lack of better term) regardless of if it's “made up” - what's REAL and what gets to be SO real is the FEELiNG underneath of the story. From the root comes the need, then the feeling, then the behavior and then the story. You get to see the story AS the cover for what's underneath (the behavior, feeling and need) and you get to trust that your child has shared their sacred truth with you because they feel safe enough to do so. How special. http://www.magicmomentsplay.com

Following up on Mia's episode on unconditional acceptance, Danielle and Adam got a lot of requests for an episode with just the two of them discussing what unconditional acceptance means to them. Danielle gets vulnerable discussing what she felt she was maybe not so accepted about while growing up and even today. The two discuss if there is anything their children could do to make them not accept them. Adam reflects on whether he feels unconditionally accepted by Danielle, and how toxic their relationship was for a long time because they kept attempting to change one another. Danielle also does her best Matthew McConaughey impression and talks more about her "acceptance" idol, Andrew Solomon, and what she has learned from him.

There's no perfect parent, no perfect child, no ideal or right way of parenting. Imagine, if we could really deeply understand this, realise this, how calm and relaxed we'll be.We're talking about what is "Unconditional Acceptance" and why it's so important to learn in order to help children and parents thrive...The first and foremost thing as a parent is to "Just relax”. The more calm and relaxed we are, the more we would enjoy the journey. If we could let go of unnecessary worries, we would be happily enjoying our children instead of hovering over them anxiously.In this episode of Raising parents, I'm sharing an interesting story of Mullah Nasruddin and how that story relates to day to day parent's life.Looking forward to your feedback and reviews.

This episode is by far one of the most personal and vulnerable of the Marriage and Martinis podcast yet. In this special episode, Adam and Danielle's oldest child, 15-year-old Mia Silverstein comes on to discuss her experience grappling with sexual identity, and what she wants kids and parents everywhere to know about self, family, and social acceptance as someone in the LGBTQ community. What was "coming out" like for her? How has social media both helped and hindered her experience with self-confidence and establishing her identity? Why have movies, TV, and books been such a source of solace and connection for her, and which have had the most impact on her experience? Mia's hope in doing this episode is that people will feel more comfortable and less alone in whatever they are going through concerning sexual identity, and also to help parents everywhere with some tips and advice from the perspective of a teenager who is truly in the thick of growing up. Send this episode to family, friends, or anyone you know who might benefit from some open and honest conversation with someone from the next generation, who also happens to be the generation who just might save the world.

Interviewing people is one of my greatest pleasure. One thing about it, is that no matter how much I do or don't research, each individual can answer so uniquely. Something that kept recurring in this interview with Caroline George was the topic of 'adaptability' and how use a tool it is for getting through expeditions, climbing mountains, and life.  Competing in the Ice Climbing World Cup and also a member of the International Federation Of Mountain Guides Association, Caroline has climbed some of the toughest routes across the world. Places from Norway, to Iceland, to the Canadian Rockies, to Alberta, to the Alps and to Antarctica and so much more. Coming from a small ski village in the Swiss Alps and now an established climber, guide, and athlete, Caroline's experience comes in vast amounts from ski mountaineering to rock and ice climbing.  Listen on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, and all other platforms; just search “Between The Mountains” or Ask Alexa! ("Alexa, play Between The Mountains Travel Podcast!")  Adaptability  We start off the podcast and immediately begin to talk about adaptation. Caroline's Mother recently passed away and it's on the forefront of her world lens, naturally. Alongside this, Caroline has also had a long career before becoming a parent, and now afterwards too. With this challenge alone - something many of us will face - are the changes that come with being a parent.  It doesn't end. You just adapt.  Caroline is one of many parents who takes it upon herself to show her child how to live, and not just tell them. It's so vital to provide them with memories and experiences that they feel and will last forever. Something I'm sure so many of us can agree on; I personally remember many more experiences than I do specific toys I liked.  Adapting is such a key to success in life. The opportunity to do so will hit all of us so many times in life. You can either take the opportunity and grow with it, or stay still and expire.  An Expedition Leader  Caroline also talks about leading people of all ages. From her new project taking kids rock climbing to leading adults up mountains. We talk about the different stages of team development and draw analogies to children brushing their teeth. I promise it makes sense in the episode!  What really struck me was her method of dealing with challenging leadership situations. Avoiding an 'Ask, Tell, Yell' approach, Caroline asks meaningful questions to her group so that they can find the correct answer themselves, rather than be told.  Caroline doesn't just have a wealth of knowledge, but she has also overcome so much. In her early days, there were many who tried to put labels on her and tell her that she couldn't be a mountain guide because she was a woman.  So, in the best way possible, Caroline ignored them and has let her results show - and, boy, do they show! Having climbed, competed, and led across the world, she is one of few people who can compare from first hand experience climbing in Ethiopia to Antarctica! Listen on to find out her answer!  Unconditional Acceptance  Towards the end of our time talking, Caroline talks about 'Unconditional Acceptance'. In her words, it is the ultimate adaptability to any situation you may not want. It's about making the best and learning from it. If you can accept challenges and changes unconditionally, you will reduce your suffering of an experience.  It's relatable to our travel and expeditions. We all go on adventures to have an experience and be pushed beyond the comfort zone. It's beyond that zone that we develop, and if you can accept unconditionally and not always want different you can grow and enjoy and build for next time.   Your Dose Of Positivity  What this episode with Caroline provided, for me at least, was tales of adventure mixed with positive and driven language. A conversation where you can jump climbing mountains, to favourite regions, to overcoming challenges, to getting the most out of life is always a fantastic one.  You can learn more about what Caroline does here and for more frequent update, you can follow her Instagram here.

Jon Dunn preaches about God's unconditional acceptance and favour during Metsku's live streamed worship evening.

It is grevious how few professing Christians understand the free and gracious nature of the gospel. Many Christians believe that grace is necessary, but they have failed to understand grace as sufficient, and are therefore tormented by the thought they must somehow add something to ensure they accepted by God. The New Covenant is the covenant of the life-giving Spirit, not the letter that kills, and the condition necessary for acceptance was fulfilled perfectly by Jesus, and not the believer. Rejoice, then, in the unconditional nature of your salvation.

Service is really one of the ways that we move toward acceptance and that’s really what my practice is about. My experience with people I’ve worked with is that what we’re looking for and what my students are looking for in their life...isn’t looser hamstrings. Whenever everything else is said and done, it’s really about self love and self acceptance. And it feels to me as though our societies, our modern societies, puts so much pressure on us to not accept ourselves. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Today we are with George Dover.  George comes to us as he is the father of one of our early guests, Brescia Dover.  If you remember Brescia, she was our first conversation about Mental Health/Illness and George has a significant role in Brescia's journey. He grew up Mormon, but has left the church and now claims himself as an Atheist.  All of this is relevant to the conversation.  He is a skeptic at heart with a very open mind.  He values family above all else and has incredible perspectives on what it means to have unconditional acceptance.    ‘‘If you don't really believe the person is sick then it is really difficult to act appropriately” George Dover (about mental illness)   Topics we cover/// Being a dad of a daughter managing through mental health issues What the evolution of her Anorexia looked like from his perspective. Managing the relationship with Brescia's siblings How they managed it without having exposure to it What it was like when she ate for the first time The use of the word Crazy Growing up in the Mormon church and ultimately leaving the church How it was with his family when he left the church Being Skeptical but being open to listen which he uses to encourage conversation His acceptance of others beliefs even though he wholeheartedly disagrees with them Specifically how he accepts his Son's choice to go into the church Unconditional Acceptance and how ultimate truths impact the ability to have unconditionality   References: Brescia's Episode - Episode 19 BYU Mormon Church Salt Lake Valley Jantzen Episode Skepticism   Credits: Lead editor + Producer: Ruf Holmes   Music: Main Theme: "I dunno" by grapes (c) copyright 2008 Licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution (3.0) license.http://dig.ccmixter.org/files/grapes/16626 Ft: J Lang, Morusqu Guest theme: "One Day Prior"  DJ Rufbeats

What makes Markey Church a church, and not simply a club or fraternity? What are we about? What do we value the most? What are we inviting people into? During this series we’ll take a closer look at our five Core Values: 1) Unconditional Acceptance, 2) Radical Hospitality, 3) Healthy Relationships, 4) EIntentional Discipleship & 5) Extravagant Generosity. We’ll explore what these Core Values mean, what they have to do with our life together in community, and how we as the people of Markey Church are invited to live out these Core Values in our everyday lives.

On this episode, we talk with our wonderful friend Sadie.  Sadie talks about the dynamics of being queer, Muslim, and black, and the compartmentalization that society tends to impose on a person who has multiple parts of their identity that are marginalized.  It is always vital to ask oneself: What is unconditional acceptance?  Full acceptance of a person’s identity means just that: accepting a person fully.  We loved our conversation with Sadie.  Our one regret is the sound quality (we had some acoustics problems while being “on the road”/mobile as a podcast crew).  However, we think you all will love…

It’s impossible to watch Jesus and see him demonstrate anything but unconditional acceptance, even with the most unlikely people. But Christians are usually a different case. While the world is hungry for a sense of belonging, too easily we assume we...

Some Essential Characteristics to Build True Community :1.Unconditional Acceptancea.Whether you're a rookie or an expert, there is no judgment, no shaming or discriminationb.A various and diverse group of people2.Unconditional Encouragementa.Everyone cheers for you, cheers you on, no matter whatb.Everyone pushes you to do your best, calling you by namec.No criticism- Though we might point out mistakes that you are making because the focus is NOT on what you can't do, what you're doing wrong, but what you're doing better, right, and well3.Serious Accountabilitya.“Coaches”, or our church's leadership, will surely push you to do more, and in particular, to live in full obedience to the fullness of God's word. This is a given. That's what they're there for. It's their job and it's what you want and expect them to dob.Teammates/ Your peers will text you if you miss a "workout." They too should and will hold you accountable to God's wordc.And we will allow this to happen to us! We will embrace it because of points 1 and 2!4.Not to mention that there are regular meetings with the same team, 5-6 days a week to prep for the games. And this is true for us too as the Church for as the Apostle Paul said, we are to run the race of faith as we would in a race to get the prize!5.There is a clear, shared, and positive goal- to be in the best shape of your life and to do well in the games. And again, in the case of our faith, to grow to be like Jesus as much as you can and to run well the race marked out for you. To really live to love others as Christ loved you that they may see Christ in you.6.There is a shared investment in suffering and vulnerability. That we will come together in rawness and vulnerability to create then the needed reality in which we can actually help each other and carry each others' burdens7.There is Transformationa.Personal transformation to be more like Christ, which will then affect the whole of our being. This will give us a greater sense of personal awareness, a change of mood, confidence, vitality, etc.. for the betterb.Social transformation. As we live to love others, the society around us should and will be impacted towards greater love, care, truth, and freedom8.Not a theory but an Experience. Being the Church is something to be shown, done, experienced, and not just talked about/ As Jesus said "Come," he replied, “and you will see.”9.This is not just about the time at church, but your life outside the church10.And as a result of all this, the people involved will stay very much committed to Christ, His words and His promises, because of the synergistic power produced in the authentic community that has been built through the characteristics just mentioned. And in such, Christians will be very joyfully open and active to recruit as many others as they can to what they found as both good and true!

Job 1 - George Nevarez

Welcome to the latest podcast from SMART Recovery. What is unconditional acceptance of self, others, and life? How can I accept unpleasant people and situations that I strongly dislike? Why should I, and is that even possible? What is the role of unconditional acceptance in addiction recovery? Unconditional Acceptance of Self (USA), others, and life, is a core principle taught by SMART Recovery and is based on Dr. Albert Ellis’s Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT). In Dr. Ellis’s words: “Emotionally healthy human beings develop an acceptance of reality, even when reality is highly unfortunate and unpleasant. REBT therapists strive to help their clients develop three types of acceptance: (1) unconditional self-acceptance; (2) unconditional other-acceptance; and (3) unconditional life-acceptance.” ~ REBT Network People often measure “worth,” by looking at accomplishments or mistakes. REBT suggests these are artificial, false, and potentially harmful constructs. In the words of Vince Fox: “Your worth is intrinsic to you as a human being distinguished from all other forms of life. You can neither increase nor diminish your worth. Among humans, you are not just special-you are unique. Please don’t concern yourself about self-esteem and self-love. Those ideas involve rating, measuring (comparing to others), and judging. Just accept yourself for what you are, a diamond in the rough. (But polish it once in a while.”) Tom Horvath, Ph.D., a California licensed and board certified clinical psychologist (ABPP), has been President of SMART Recovery® for over a decade. He is the founder and president of Practical Recovery, a self-empowering addiction treatment system in San Diego. He is past president of the American Psychological Association’s Society on Addiction Psychology (Division 50), the world’s largest organization of addiction psychologists. He is the author of Sex, Drugs, Gambling & Chocolate: A Workbook for Overcoming Addictions (listed by the Association for Behavioral and Cognitive Therapies as a “Self-Help Book of Merit”).
