Podcasts about Vigil

Author George Saunders joins Sam to talk about his new book Vigil and why people are so obsessed with turning him into a secular saint (and his childhood role of church guitarist). George explains that even though he's not on social media he still finds ways to doom scroll, how the current government could have learned empathy if they bothered to read a few books, and how he found inspiration for Vigil without sounding too preachy. They talk about the importance of “vomit drafts” and the process of revisions, how his writing approach is about minimizing his anxiety, the choice to turn on or off some of the voices in your head, early rejection from The New Yorker, and choosing not to get killed just to be a great writer. They explain how they both put their choices up against the deathbed test, and how being compassionate doesn't always mean being nice. Keep up with Samantha Bee @realsambee on Instagram and X.

Dave and Jenn talk about an upcoming candle light vigil for a little boy's family in our community. 

 5 There was in the days of Herod, the king of Judea, a certain priest named Zachary, of the course of Abia; and his wife was of the daughters of Aaron, and her name Elizabeth.Fuit in diebus Herodis, regis Judaeae, sacerdos quidam nomine Zacharias de vice Abia, et uxor illius de filiabus Aaron, et nomen ejus Elisabeth. 6 And they were both just before God, walking in all the commandments and justifications of the Lord without blame.Erant autem justi ambo ante Deum, incedentes in omnibus mandatis et justificationibus Domini sine querela. 7 And they had no son, for that Elizabeth was barren, and they both were well advanced in years.Et non erat illis filius, eo quod esset Elisabeth sterilis, et ambo processissent in diebus suis. 8 And it came to pass, when he executed the priestly function in the order of his course before God,Factum est autem, cum sacerdotio fungeretur in ordine vicis suae ante Deum, 9 According to the custom of the priestly office, it was his lot to offer incense, going into the temple of the Lord.secundum consuetudinem sacerdotii, sorte exiit ut incensum poneret, ingressus in templum Domini : 10 And all the multitude of the people was praying without, at the hour of incense.et omnis multitudo populi erat orans foris hora incensi. 11 And there appeared to him an angel of the Lord, standing on the right side of the altar of incense.Apparuit autem illi angelus Domini, stans a dextris altaris incensi. 12 And Zachary seeing him, was troubled, and fear fell upon him.Et Zacharias turbatus est videns, et timor irruit super eum. 13 But the angel said to him: Fear not, Zachary, for thy prayer is heard; and thy wife Elizabeth shall bear thee a son, and thou shalt call his name John:Ait autem ad illum angelus : Ne timeas, Zacharia, quoniam exaudita est deprecatio tua : et uxor tua Elisabeth pariet tibi filium, et vocabis nomen ejus Joannem : 14 And thou shalt have joy and gladness, and many shall rejoice in his nativity.et erit gaudium tibi, et exsultatio, et multi in nativitate ejus gaudebunt : 15 For he shall be great before the Lord; and shall drink no wine nor strong drink: and he shall be filled with the Holy Ghost, even from his mother's womb.erit enim magnus coram Domino : et vinum et siceram non bibet, et Spiritu Sancto replebitur adhuc ex utero matris suae : 16 And he shall convert many of the children of Israel to the Lord their God.et multos filiorum Israel convertet ad Dominum Deum ipsorum : 17 And he shall go before him in the spirit and power of Elias; that he may turn the hearts of the fathers unto the children, and the incredulous to the wisdom of the just, to prepare unto the Lord a perfect people.et ipse praecedet ante illum in spiritu et virtute Eliae : ut convertat corda patrum in filios, et incredulos ad prudentiam justorum, parare Domino plebem perfectam.[5] "Of the course of Abia": that is, of the rank of Abia, which word in the Greek is commonly put for the employment of one day: but here for the functions of a whole week. For, by the appointment of David, 1 Par. 24., the descendants from Aaron were divided into twenty-four families, of which the eighth was Abia, from whom descended this Zachary, who at this time was in the week of his priestly functions.

No episódio desta semana, o Observatório Feminino debate dois assuntos bastante comentados nos últimos dias. O primeiro deles é sobre a Ozivy, a primeira caneta de semaglutida brasileira aprovada pela Agência Nacional de Vigilância Sanitária (ANVISA). O medicamento já está disponível nas farmácias das capitais e deve chegar a todo o país até julho.A Ozivy já apresenta uma faixa de preços mais em conta em comparação com as outras canetas disponíveis no mercado. De acordo com a empresa, cada caneta vai custar R$ 452.No entanto, há um plano de tratamento em que, para os primeiros três meses, as canetas com doses suficientes para o tratamento de 90 dias vão custar R$ 863,23. Isso faz com que, na média, o paciente tenha um custo mensal de R$ 287 com as doses iniciais.Outro tema debatido pela bancada é o caso da adolescente de 17 anos que denunciou ter sido vítima de estupro coletivo no bairro Arvoredo, em Contagem, Região Metropolitana de Belo Horizonte.Segundo o boletim de ocorrência da Polícia Militar, a adolescente aproveitou a ausência da mãe e convidou um grupo de amigos para um churrasco. Nove pessoas participavam da confraternização, todas com cerca de 17 anos.Por volta das onze da noite, as amigas foram embora, restando na residência apenas a vítima e quatro adolescentes. Neste momento, ela acredita que algum deles colocou alguma substância na bebida dela, já que ela perdeu a consciência.De acordo com a jovem, ela acordou sem roupas e flagrou três dos quatro adolescentes abusando dela. Ainda segundo a jovem, apesar de o quarto adolescente — um amigo de infância — não estar presente no momento do abuso, ele admitiu por mensagens que teria participado do ato, mas se arrependeu e saiu do quarto antes que ela acordasse.A Polícia Civil de Minas Gerais  (PCMG) investiga o caso, que está sob sigilo.Para debater os assuntos, participam do podcast a cirurgiã bariátrica especializada em cirurgia do aparelho digestivo, Carolina Trancoso, e a delegada Carolina Máximo, titular da Delegacia Especializada em Apuração de Ato Infracional de Belo Horizonte.

A importância da vacinação de crianças e adultos é o tema do Panorama podcast desta semana. Entre 2015 e 2023, o Brasil passou por um período crítico, de grande queda no número de crianças vacinadas. De 2024 pra cá, a vacinação infantil vem se recuperando no país mas, segundo a Organização Mundial de Saúde (OMS), o Brasil ainda está na lista das vinte nações que menos vacinam crianças no mundo. Para falar sobre esse assunto, o jornalista Fernando Gomes recebe a pesquisadora Ana Paula Fernandes, uma das coordenadoras do Centro de Tecnologia em Vacinas da UFMG e o subsecretário de Vigilância em Saúde da Secretaria de Saúde de Minas Gerias, Eduardo Prosdocimi.

He is also currently directing the feature documentary "Last Dance", chronicling the historic final Gathering of Nations Powwow in 2026.In this inspiring conversation, you'll discover:

A santa pureza não é uma negação do amor, mas a defesa da nossa capacidade de amar de verdade. A alma humana não foi feita para viver como um tubo, por onde tudo passa e nada permanece, nem como uma bolha, que atravessa o mundo sem ser tocada por nada. O coração precisa ser como um frasco: capaz de se abrir, guardar, conservar e depois entregar. Assim como a pequena Amélie recolhe num pote os momentos felizes da praia para oferecê-los à amiga querida, também nós somos chamados a guardar dentro de nós aquilo que é verdadeiro, belo e digno de amor. O amor exige profundidade, intimidade e dom de si. São João Paulo II recorda que o homem só se encontra plenamente quando se entrega sinceramente. Mas essa entrega não acontece quando a pessoa vive escrava dos próprios instintos, pulando de estímulo em estímulo, experimentando de tudo e não se comprometendo com nada. A castidade, ou santa pureza, organiza o desejo, educa o coração e integra a força da sexualidade no bem maior da pessoa, para que o corpo, os afetos e a alma sirvam ao amor, e não ao egoísmo.A luta pela pureza passa por três armas concretas: inteligência, vigilância e franqueza. Inteligência para não cair nas falsas promessas do mundo, como o amor falso da pornografia, os relacionamentos vazios, a relevância artificial das redes sociais e até a “pseudo-mussarela” que parece alimento, mas engana. Vigilância porque tudo o que consumimos deixa marcas: imagens, músicas, filmes, textos e experiências vão treinando os nossos “algoritmos interiores”. Por isso, é preciso guardar o coração como um jardim fechado, uma fonte selada, um lugar precioso onde não se deixa qualquer coisa entrar.A franqueza é o caminho humilde de quem reconhece a própria fragilidade e pede ajuda a Deus. A pureza não se conquista fingindo força, mas abrindo a alma na confissão, na direção espiritual e na oração sincera. Falar com simplicidade sobre tentações, pensamentos intrusivos e quedas ajuda a tirar o peso da vergonha e recoloca tudo no seu devido lugar: não somos definidos pelas nossas tentações, mas pelo amor que escolhemos buscar. Que o Imaculado Coração de Maria, tão ligado à luta pela pureza e ao chamado de Fátima, nos ensine a guardar o coração para amar melhor, com liberdade, verdade e alegria.______________

The Easter Vigil is more than a beautiful liturgy, it's the culmination of salvation history and the climax of the catechumenate. Gomer and Dave unpack the rich symbolism of the Church's greatest liturgical celebration, from the new fire and Paschal Candle to baptism, confirmation, and the Eucharist. They explore why the Vigil is centered on those entering the Church, how the liturgy embodies the Gospel through signs and symbols, and why Christians should never underestimate the power of the Church's ancient traditions.

The Booker Prize winning American author George Saunders talks to John Wilson about his cultural influences. He made his name as a writer of satirical or absurdist short stories which often explore contemporary consumerist society, always underpinned with a strong sense of human compassion and empathy. In 2017, his first full length novel Lincoln In The Bardo - about Presidential grief amid a cacophony of spiritual voices - won the Booker Prize and became a global bestseller. His latest novel Vigil once again explores death and the afterlife. George Saunders teaches creative writing at Syracuse University, New York, and is widely regarded as one of the most influential figures in American literature.Producer: Edwina Pitman

May 23rd, 2026:  The Vigil of Pentecost - Have the Trinity Living in You;  The Vigil of Pentecost - Gifts & Fruits of the Holy Spirit;  The Vigil of Pentecost - The New Covenant Prophesied by Jeremiah

 15 If you love me, keep my commandments.Si diligitis me, mandata mea servate : 16 And I will ask the Father, and he shall give you another Paraclete, that he may abide with you for ever.et ego rogabo Patrem, et alium Paraclitum dabit vobis, ut maneat vobiscum in aeternum, 17 The spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, nor knoweth him: but you shall know him; because he shall abide with you, and shall be in you.Spiritum veritatis, quem mundus non potest accipere, quia non videt eum, nec scit eum : vos autem cognoscetis eum, quia apud vos manebit, et in vobis erit. 18 I will not leave you orphans, I will come to you.Non relinquam vos orphanos : veniam ad vos. 19 Yet a little while: and the world seeth me no more. But you see me: because I live, and you shall live.Adhuc modicum, et mundus me jam non videt. Vos autem videtis me : quia ego vivo, et vos vivetis. 20 In that day you shall know, that I am in my Father, and you in me, and I in you.In illo die vos cognoscetis quia ego sum in Patre meo, et vos in me, et ego in vobis. 21 He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them; he it is that loveth me. And he that loveth me, shall be loved of my Father: and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.Qui habet mandata mea, et servat ea : ille est qui diligit me. Qui autem diligit me, diligetur a Patre meo : et ego diligam eum, et manifestabo ei meipsum.[16] "Paraclete": That is, a comforter: or also an advocate; inasmuch as by inspiring prayer, he prays, as it were, in us, and pleads for us.[16] "For ever": Hence it is evident that this Spirit of Truth was not only promised to the persons of the apostles, but also to their successors through all generations.

A actualidade africana desta semana fica marcada pelo agravamento do surto de Ébola na República Democrática do Congo, pela mudança política em Cabo Verde após as legislativas, pela contestação ambiental em torno dos investimentos franceses em Moçambique e pela persistente crise energética em São Tomé e Príncipe. Em Angola, o Presidente João Lourenço rejeitou a proposta de pacto para a estabilidade apresentada pela UNITA, considerando não existir uma situação de crise política que o justifique.   As mortes suspeitas provocadas pelo Ébola na República Democrática do Congo ascendem já a 177, enquanto os casos identificados chegaram aos 750. O alerta foi lançado esta sexta-feira pelo director-geral da Organização Mundial da Saúde, que receia que a dimensão real da epidemia possa ser “muito maior”. Numa fase inicial, os sintomas febris confundem-se frequentemente com doenças comuns em África, como a malária, o que pode atrasar o diagnóstico e aumentar o risco de morte. Em Angola, depois do alerta sanitário, foram reforçados os procedimentos de vigilância epidemiológica. O chefe do Departamento de Higiene e Vigilância Epidemiológica do Ministério da Saúde angolano, Eusébio Manuel, explicou as medidas adoptadas para prevenir a propagação da doença. "Um dos principais sintomas é febre. Muitas das vezes cruzamos nos nossos países, onde a malária é a primeira causa de morte e de doença, suspeitamos sempre como seja malária, mas depois os sintomas secundários vão aparecendo, dias depois. As pessoas apresentam sinais de febre e essa febre pode cruzar-se com astenia, dores musculares, mas são sinais-sintomas que vêm a posteriori. O sinal principal para reconhecimento é a febre. E depois vamos fazendo outros diagnósticos diferenciados. As hemorragias aparecem no quinto, sétimo dia, mas aí é onde ocorre o maior perigo, em que a pessoa esquece-se que está frente a uma doença altamente contagiosa como a doença hemorrágica. Mas nesta fase a pessoa já se envolveu com o doente. Por isso o contágio é muito frequente", referiu. Em Cabo Verde, os resultados provisórios das eleições legislativas apontam para uma vitória do PAICV, liderado por Francisco Carvalho. O partido da oposição conta, até ao momento, com 36 deputados eleitos, enquanto o MpD conquistou 32 assentos parlamentares e a UCID dois deputados. Faltam ainda atribuir dois mandatos, decisivos para determinar se o PAICV alcançará uma maioria relativa ou absoluta. Os resultados definitivos deverão ser conhecidos até 25 de Maio. As eleições ficaram igualmente marcadas por uma taxa de abstenção histórica de 53,3%, revelando que mais de metade dos eleitores não participou no acto eleitoral. A investigadora Roselma Évora considera que este elevado nível de abstenção reflecte o descontentamento da população cabo-verdiana em relação à classe política e às actuais lideranças. " Os cabo-verdianos valorizam profundamente a democracia, mas muitos sentem-se frustrados com a forma como ela funciona na prática. Existe a percepção de que o sistema político está demasiado fechado sobre os partidos e que as oportunidades não chegam de forma igual a todos os cidadãos. Apesar de termos uma Constituição moderna, muitas pessoas acreditam que apenas uma pequena elite ligada aos grandes partidos beneficia verdadeiramente do sistema democrático. Os dados mostram isso claramente: apenas 19% dos cabo-verdianos dizem estar satisfeitos com a democracia. E é legítimo perguntar quem são esses 19%. Na minha opinião, trata-se sobretudo das elites partidárias que têm controlado o poder ao longo dos anos. A elevada abstenção é, portanto, um sintoma antigo de descrença e desconfiança. Muitas pessoas deixaram de se rever nos políticos e nas lideranças actuais. Cabo Verde não está isolado desta tendência mundial de crise de liderança e de afastamento entre cidadãos e representantes políticos", sublinhou.  Na sequência da derrota eleitoral, a direcção nacional do MpD reúne-se esta sexta-feira para analisar os resultados e preparar a convenção extraordinária destinada à escolha do sucessor de Ulisses Correia e Silva. O antigo primeiro-ministro apresentou a demissão após dez anos à frente do Governo e do partido. Paulo Veiga e Orlando Dias já manifestaram publicamente a intenção de disputar a liderança do Movimento para a Democracia. Em Angola, o Presidente João Lourenço recebeu no Palácio Presidencial o líder da UNITA, Adalberto Costa Júnior, para discutir a proposta de pacto para a estabilidade nacional. O documento defendia, entre outros pontos, uma revisão constitucional, reformas políticas e uma amnistia para crimes económicos e financeiros. Depois de analisar a proposta, João Lourenço afirmou não haver fundamento para a sua aprovação, argumentando que pactos desta natureza apenas se justificam em contextos de crise política. Em Paris, na véspera das assembleias-gerais da petrolífera Total e dos bancos Crédit Agricole e Société Générale, a ONG francesa CCFD-Terre Solidaire e a organização moçambicana Justiça Ambiental alertaram para os impactos humanitários e ecológicos dos investimentos franceses em Moçambique. Daniel Ribeiro, da Justiça Ambiental, denunciou os efeitos do projecto liderado pela Total, classificando-o como uma “bomba climática” devido às consequências ambientais associadas à exploração de gás. Já em São Tomé e Príncipe, o agravamento da crise energética levou o chefe do Governo a reunir-se com trabalhadores da Empresa de Água e Electricidade (EMAE) para avaliar soluções urgentes. Apesar da aquisição de novos geradores, os problemas de abastecimento persistem. O sindicato dos trabalhadores da empresa aponta decisões políticas inadequadas como uma das principais causas da actual crise energética no país.

O Ministério Público de São Paulo pediu a prisão do cantor Mauro David Nepomuceno, conhecido como “Oruam”. O rapper teria realizado disparos com armas de fogo em uma festa em Igaratá, no interior de SP, em novembro de 2024. Mauro está foragido desde janeiro de 2026 por violação de medidas cautelares em um processo em que é acusado de tentativa de homicídio. Além do mundo do rap, Oruam é conhecido por ser filho de Márcio dos Santos Nepomuceno, ou “Marcinho VP”, apontado como uma das lideranças do Comando Vermelho (CV), preso desde 1996. A Polícia Federal rejeitou a proposta de delação premiada apresentada pela defesa do ex-banqueiro Daniel Vorcaro, dono do Banco Master. A decisão foi comunicada à defesa e ao ministro do STF André Mendonça, relator do caso. Apesar da negativa da PF, a Procuradoria-Geral da República ainda pode avaliar o acordo de forma independente. Segundo investigadores, o material entregue pela defesa acrescentaria poucas informações novas às apurações já realizadas e haveria a percepção de que Vorcaro estaria tentando proteger pessoas próximas. O instituto Paraná Pesquisas divulgou, nesta quinta-feira (21), uma pesquisa eleitoral para o Governo do Estado de São Paulo apontando que Tarcísio de Freitas (Republicanos) lidera as intenções de voto no primeiro turno. O governador aparece com 47,3%, logo depois vem o ex-ministro da Fazenda e ex-prefeito de São Paulo, Fernando Haddad (PT), com 33,5%. Em terceiro lugar na pesquisa, Paulo Serra (PSDB) teria 4,3%, enquanto o deputado federal Kim Kataguiri (Missão) ocupa a quarta posição com 3,4% das intenções de voto. Com a negativa de Ciro Gomes (PSDB) em concorrer à Presidência da República e após os vazamentos de conversas entre Flávio Bolsonaro (PL) e Daniel Vorcaro, o deputado federal Aécio Neves (PSDB) avalia disputar novamente o pleito para o Palácio do Planalto em 2026, 12 anos após a primeira tentativa, em 2014. Em comunicado oficial nesta segunda-feira (19), a empresa de produtos de limpeza Ypê pede que clientes não usem nem descartem produtos do lote contaminado, de numeração com final 1, até nova deliberação da Agência Nacional de Vigilância Sanitária (Anvisa). A equipe do senador Flávio Bolsonaro (PL), pré-candidato à Presidência da República, está articulando um encontro com o presidente dos EUA, Donald Trump. Fontes da Jovem Pan no Departamento de Estado americano informaram que existem conversas para uma possível reunião ainda na próxima semana. Uma mãe em Sombrio, sul de Santa Catarina, viralizou ao gastar cerca de 14 mil reais em figurinhas do álbum da Copa do Mundo de 2026 para seu filho. A mulher, conhecida como Nunes, é comerciante e está negociando figurinhas repetidas, já que bastam apenas 700 cartinhas para completar o álbum. O senador Flávio Bolsonaro (PL) subiu à tribuna da Câmara dos Deputados na manhã desta quinta-feira (21) para pedir a aprovação da Comissão Parlamentar Mista de Inquérito (CPMI). Em sua fala, Flávio afirmou que “não tem nada a esconder” e que “quer Daniel Vorcaro na CPMI” para falar qual a sua relação com o presidente Lula (PT) e o ministro do Supremo Tribunal Federal (STF) Alexandre de Moraes. Recentemente, vieram a público conversas entre Flávio Bolsonaro e Daniel Vorcaro em que o pré-candidato à Presidência pede dinheiro ao então banqueiro para financiar a cinebiografia do ex-presidente Jair Bolsonaro (PL), “Dark Horse”. Essas e outras notícias você confere no Morning Show.

Richie Allen with unique and sometimes humorous analysis of the day's top news stories. On today's show: Vigil held in Dublin for Congolese man who died in shoplifting incident. Some are calling it Ireland's "George Floyd moment." Polls show Donald Trump's approval rating is in the basement. Does it matter? Rural Ireland is seemingly in the grip of a drug epidemic. If so, why? And Richie asks listeners what does "Love conquers all" mean in practical terms? The answers are very interesting.

 1 These things Jesus spoke, and lifting up his eyes to heaven, he said: Father, the hour is come, glorify thy Son, that thy Son may glorify thee.Haec locutus est Jesus : et sublevatis oculis in caelum, dixit : Pater, venit hora : clarifica Filium tuum, ut Filius tuus clarificet te : 2 As thou hast given him power over all flesh, that he may give eternal life to all whom thou hast given him.sicut dedisti ei potestatem omnis carnis, ut omne, quod dedisti ei, det eis vitam aeternam. 3 Now this is eternal life: That they may know thee, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.Haec est autem vita aeterna : ut cognoscant te, solum Deum verum, et quem misisti Jesum Christum. 4 I have glorified thee on the earth; I have finished the work which thou gavest me to do.Ego te clarificavi super terram : opus consummavi, quod dedisti mihi ut faciam : 5 And now glorify thou me, O Father, with thyself, with the glory which I had, before the world was, with thee.et nunc clarifica me tu, Pater, apud temetipsum, claritate quam habui, prius quam mundus esset, apud te. 6 I have manifested thy name to the men whom thou hast given me out of the world. Thine they were, and to me thou gavest them; and they have kept thy word.Manifestavi nomen tuum hominibus, quos dedisti mihi de mundo : tui erant, et mihi eos dedisti : et sermonem tuum servaverunt. 7 Now they have known, that all things which thou hast given me, are from thee:Nunc cognoverunt quia omnia quae dedisti mihi, abs te sunt : 8 Because the words which thou gavest me, I have given to them; and they have received them, and have known in very deed that I came out from thee, and they have believed that thou didst send me.quia verba quae dedisti mihi, dedi eis : et ipsi acceperunt, et cognoverunt vere quia a te exivi, et crediderunt quia tu me misisti. 9 I pray for them: I pray not for the world, but for them whom thou hast given me: because they are thine:Ego pro eis rogo; non pro mundo rogo, sed pro his quos dedisti mihi : quia tui sunt : 10 And all my things are thine, and thine are mine; and I am glorified in them.et mea omnia tua sunt, et tua mea sunt : et clarificatus sum in eis. 11 And now I am not in the world, and these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep them in thy name whom thou has given me; that they may be one, as we also are.Et jam non sum in mundo, et hi in mundo sunt, et ego ad te venio. Pater sancte, serva eos in nomine tuo, quos dedisti mihi : ut sint unum, sicut et nos.Our Lord Jesus Christ has manifested the Name of His Father to man: that they may know Him, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom He has sent.

Since 1853, 152 brave men and women have been killed while trying to protect their communities. Tonight, Utahns will come together to remember and honor our law enforcement officers who've died in the line of duty. Most recent were the August 17, 2025, murders of Tremonton-Garland Police Department officers Sgt. Lee Sorensen and Officer Eric Estrada. President of the Utah Law Enforcement Memorial Pat Evans explains the significance of tonight's ceremony.

The novelist, essayist, and short-story writer George Saunders—widely celebrated for his novel Lincoln in the Bardo (2017), which won the Man Booker Prize, and book of short stories Tenth of December (2013)—has made it his mission to “de-dullify” the world through his clear-eyed, empathic, often-puckish prose. There's an unwavering spirit of generosity embedded in the way Saunders tells stories and teaches his craft that ensures his readers and students alike stay along for the ride. Saunders's curiosity about the afterlife, a recurring motif in his writing, rises to the fore in his latest novel, Vigil, which follows a pair of ghostly figures as they visit the deathbed of a prideful, climate-change-denying Texas oil tycoon. On this episode, he shares how practicing meditation has shifted his approach to writing and his outlook on life, the underlying importance of humor in his work, and why to be a good storyteller is akin to being a good host.  Special thanks to our Season 13 presenting partner, Van Cleef & Arpels.

If you've noticed the men in your life repeating talking points from Andrew Tate or Joe Rogan, you're likely seeing the real-world impact of the ‘manosphere’. Research suggests these digital echo chambers are doing genuine damage to the lives of boys and men, but how do we combat an algorithm? Today, we are joined by Australia’s first-ever Special Envoy for Men’s Health, Dan Repacholi. The Labor MP and five-time Olympian is heading off on a national listening tour to tackle the crisis in men’s mental health, respect, and the rising tide of online misogyny. We investigate what it actually takes for men to stay well and why the solution has to start with men talking to men.

In this week's episode, host Kristin Hayes is joined by podcast-host-turned-guest Daniel Raimi, a fellow at Resources for the Future (RFF) and director of RFF's Communities in the Energy Transition initiative, to discuss Raimi's research on energy communities and his work establishing a highly collaborative ongoing project: the Resilient Energy Economies initiative. Though all communities depend on energy, “energy communities” are communities whose economic livelihoods are dependent on fossil fuels. Raimi recounts how his early career experiences inspired him to study the complex dynamics of fossil fuel–dependent communities amid a shifting energy sector. The oft-overlooked economic complications that arise in energy communities have been motivating federal, state, and local efforts to preserve and protect financial stability for residents after energy companies leave town. Whether in Wyoming, Pennsylvania, Texas, or a Tribal nation, Raimi maintains that engaging with the people who actually are living in these fossil fuel–dependent local economies enables a holistic understanding of the mammoth impact of the fossil fuel industry in the development of the United States and in the communities where the industry is central to their life and livelihoods.

Welcome to Day 2845 of Wisdom-Trek. Thank you for joining me. This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to Wisdom. Day 2845 – Wisdom Nuggets – Psalm 119:145-152 – Daily Wisdom Wisdom-Trek Podcast Script - Day 2845 Welcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps! I am Guthrie Chamberlain, and we are on Day 2845 of our Trek. The Purpose of Wisdom-Trek is to create a legacy of wisdom, to seek out discernment and insights, and to boldly grow where few have chosen to grow before. The Title for today's Wisdom-Trek is: The Qoph of Calling – The Nearness of the King in the Dark Watch In our previous episode on this grand expedition, we climbed through the eighteenth stanza of Psalm One Hundred Nineteen, the “Tsadhe” section. We found a massive, unyielding anchor for our souls in the absolute, unbending justice of the Creator. We learned that when the pressure and stress of this hostile world bear down upon us like a vice grip, we do not have to panic. Instead, we can retreat into the thoroughly tested, perfectly refined promises of Yahweh, finding a supernatural, defiant joy in His eternal righteousness. Today, we take a deep breath, adjust our packs, and continue our ascent into the nineteenth stanza of this magnificent, alphabetical mountain. We are exploring the “Qoph” section, covering Psalm One Hundred Nineteen, verses one hundred forty-five through one hundred fifty-two, in the New Living Translation. In the ancient Hebrew alphabet, the letter “Qoph” was often depicted as the back of a head, or the eye of a needle. It carries the imagery of calling out, of drawing near, and of things coming full circle. This stanza is intensely atmospheric. The psalmist takes us into the darkest, most vulnerable hours of the night. He is surrounded by the approaching footsteps of his enemies. He is exhausted, and he is crying out with every ounce of strength he has left. But in the midst of this terrifying darkness, he makes a breathtaking discovery about the proximity of God. Let us step onto the trail, and learn how to call out to the King when the shadows close in. The first segment is: The Wholehearted Cry for Rescue Psalm One Hundred Nineteen: verses one hundred forty-five and one hundred forty-six. I pray with all my heart; answer me, Lord! I will obey your decrees. I cry out to you; rescue me, that I may obey your laws. The stanza opens with an intense, raw explosion of spiritual desperation. “I pray with all my heart; answer me, Lord!” We must remember the context of the previous stanzas. The psalmist has been hunted by the arrogant, smeared with lies, and pushed to the absolute limits of his endurance. When you reach this level of exhaustion, polite, casual prayers evaporate. You do not offer God a half-hearted request. You cry out with the totality of your being. To pray “with all my heart” means that his intellect, his emotions, and his will are entirely unified, and laser-focused on the throne of Yahweh. Notice the beautiful symmetry in his bargaining. He says, “Answer me, Lord! I will obey your decrees. I cry out to you; rescue me, that I may obey your laws.” Many times, when human beings are in pain, we cry out for rescue simply because we want the pain to stop. We want relief, comfort, and an easy life. But the psalmist elevates his prayer far beyond mere self-preservation. He is asking for deliverance with a highly specific, cosmic goal in mind. He wants to be rescued, precisely so that he can continue his mission as an obedient imager of the Most High God. He is saying, “Lord, if my enemies destroy me, my voice of obedience is silenced in this world. Save my life, cut the ropes of the wicked, and deliver me from this trap, so that I can get back to the business of walking in Your cosmic blueprint. My rescue is tied directly to Your glory.” The second segment is: The Vigil of the Night Watches Psalm One Hundred Nineteen: verses one hundred forty-seven and one hundred forty-eight. I rise early, before the sun is up; I cry out for help and put my hope in your words. I stay awake through the night, thinking about your promise. The psalmist details the grueling, physical reality of his spiritual vigil. He is caught in a cycle of sleepless desperation. He declares, “I rise early, before the sun is up; I cry out for help and put my hope in your words.” Literally, the Hebrew text says, “I anticipate the dawn.” Before the first rays of light crest the horizon, before the rest of the camp is awake, the psalmist is already on his knees. He beats the sun to the battlefield. He knows that if he waits until the chaotic noise of the day begins, his mind might be hijacked by fear. So, he preemptively anchors his soul, crying out for help in the predawn stillness, and forcibly attaching his hope to the solid rock of God's words. But the battle is not just in the morning; it consumes his nights as well. “I stay awake through the night, thinking about your promise.” In the ancient world, the night was divided into military watches. It was the time of greatest vulnerability. The darkness was considered the domain of chaos, the hunting ground of predators, and the operational hour of the dark, rebellious spiritual forces of the Divine Council. The wicked, who operate under the influence of these rebel gods, do their best work in the dark. The psalmist cannot sleep because the threat is so imminent. His eyes are wide open through every single watch of the night. But instead of letting his mind spin into a vortex of anxiety, he engages in active, defensive warfare. He stays awake, “thinking about your promise.” Other translations say, “meditating on your word.” He uses the quiet, terrifying hours of the darkness to chew on the eternal promises of the Creator. He weaponizes his insomnia, turning his midnight terror into a sanctuary of deep, theological reflection. The third segment is: The Plea for Hesed and the Approaching Threat Psalm One Hundred Nineteen: verses one hundred forty-nine and one hundred fifty. In your unfailing love, hear my prayer; Lord, revive me by your justice. Lawless people are coming to attack me; they live far from your instructions. As the night drags on, the psalmist makes his ultimate appeal. “In your unfailing love, hear my prayer; Lord, revive me by your justice.” Once again, we encounter the bedrock word of the Old Testament: Hesed. The psalmist does not demand a hearing based on his own perfect performance; he asks for an audience based entirely on God's loyal, covenant-keeping affection. He is exhausted, and his spirit is fainting, so he asks Yahweh to “revive” him. He needs the breath of life—chayah—to be pumped back into his collapsing lungs. And he trusts that God's justice, His unbending commitment to making things right, will act as the defibrillator for his dying hope. The urgency of this revival is suddenly made clear in verse one hundred fifty. The abstract fears of the night have materialized into a terrifying, physical reality. He whispers, “Lawless people are coming to attack me; they live far from your instructions.” Literally, the Hebrew says, “They draw near who follow after wickedness.” The footsteps are getting louder. The shadows are moving. The enemy is closing the distance. Notice how the psalmist describes these attackers. They are not just political opponents; they are “lawless people.” They have severed themselves from the Torah of God. To live “far from your instructions” is to live in the chaotic, rebellious wasteland of the fallen world. By rejecting the cosmic blueprint of the Creator, these individuals have become willing agents of the dark principalities. They are bringing the chaos of the void directly to the psalmist's doorstep. The threat is imminent, and the trap is about to spring. The fourth segment is: The Ultimate Proximity and the Eternal Foundation Psalm One Hundred Nineteen: verses one hundred fifty-one and one hundred fifty-two. But you are near, O Lord, and all your commands are true. I have known from my earliest days that your laws will last forever. In the very moment when the lawless attackers draw near, when the tension is at its absolute peak, the psalmist experiences a stunning, supernatural revelation. He looks past the approaching shadows, and he declares a massive, paradigm-shifting truth: “But you are near, O Lord, and all your commands are true.” The wicked are drawing close, but Yahweh is...
