Podcasts about way the journey

Hope Edelman is an author, ghostwriter, essayist, writing instructor and life coach. The through-line connecting much of her work, from the collaborations she's helped to write to her own best-selling memoirs, is the theme of parent-loss. “Navigating motherhood without your mom is like assembling a complex puzzle without the picture on the box,” she writes in a blog post on her website. She's been writing about the grief and loss in her own life since her best-selling 1994 memoir Motherless Daughters—a book she began as a graduate student at the University of Iowa, when she realized she was being called to write about her mother's death more than a decade earlier.  It's a calling that connects Hope to her ghostwriting clients as well. Her first collaboration, a dual memoir written with actors Martin Sheen and Emilio Estevez—Along the Way: The Journey of a Father and Son—is informed by the death of Sheen's mother, when the actor was just 11 years old, while her current project, written with Owen Elliot-Kugell, the daughter of the late Cass Elliot—My Mama, Cass—finds its narrative drive in the sudden death of the author's mother, who died in her sleep in a London apartment nearly ten years after she shot to fame as a member of The Mamas & The Papas. The recipient of a Pushcart Prize for Creative Nonfiction, Hope has taught writing at the Iowa Summer Writing Festival, the Provincetown Fine Arts Work Center, the University of Iowa, and Antioch University-Los Angeles.  Join us for a compelling conversation on what it means to find a way to heal as you find your voice as a writer.    Learn more about Hope Edelman: Website Facebook Instagram Please support the sponsors who support our show: Ritani Jewelers Chelsea Devantez's I Shouldn't Be Telling You This Daniel Paisner's Balloon Dog  Daniel Paisner's SHOW: The Making and Unmaking of a Network Television Pilot Unforgiving: Lessons from the Fall by Lindsey Jacobellis Film Movement Plus (PODCAST) | 30% discount Libro.fm (ASTOLDTO) | 2 audiobooks for the price of 1 when you start your membership Film Freaks Forever! podcast, hosted by Mark Jordan Legan and Phoef Sutton Everyday Shakespeare podcast A Mighty Blaze podcast The Writer's Bone Podcast Network Misfits Market (WRITERSBONE) | $15 off your first order  Film Movement Plus (PODCAST) | 30% discount Wizard Pins (WRITERSBONE) | 20% discount

Matthew Adams here, joining you on Day 16 of our spiritual journey. Today, we're unpacking a gem from Malachi, a verse that speaks to preparation, anticipation, and divine arrival. For those of us walking the path of spiritual warriors, these aren't just words; they're a call to action, a reminder of our role in a story much bigger than ourselves.Scripture: Malachi 3:1"'I will send my messenger, who will prepare the way before me. Then suddenly the Lord you are seeking will come to his temple; the messenger of the covenant, whom you desire, will come,' says the Lord Almighty." This promise from Malachi 3:1 sets the stage for an extraordinary divine intervention.This verse is a powerful prophecy about preparation and fulfillment. It talks about a messenger paving the way for the Lord's arrival. As spiritual warriors, we can draw parallels to our own lives – we are also called to prepare the way, not just for ourselves, but for others to encounter the divine. It's a role that demands diligence, faith, and a readiness to embrace the unexpected.My Reasons To Believe is a publication fueled by its readers' support. We're committed to serving you. Think about stepping up to Faith Partner. For a mere $5 a month, you can play a crucial role in keeping this ministry thriving. Stay blessed.Three Driving Points* Being God's Messenger in Today's World: The first part of the prophecy talks about sending a messenger. In today's context, this translates to us being God's messengers in a world that often seems disconnected from spiritual realities. Our role involves living out the truth, sharing God's love, and preparing others to encounter Him in their own lives.* The Power of Sudden Arrival: The phrase "then suddenly" suggests an unexpected, swift coming of the Lord. It's a reminder that God's interventions in our lives often come without warning. As spiritual warriors, we're called to live in a state of readiness, always prepared for God's sudden moves, be it in our lives or in the lives of those around us.* Desiring the Messenger of the Covenant: The reference to the “messenger of the covenant” points to a deep longing for a divine connection. In our journey, this longing translates to a constant pursuit of a deeper relationship with God. It's about nurturing our desire for spiritual growth and being open to the ways God chooses to reveal Himself to us.ConclusionMalachi 3:1 challenges us as spiritual warriors to be active participants in preparing the way for God's presence. It's a call to readiness, a life of anticipation, and a heart yearning for deeper divine encounters.Call to ActionThis week, consider how you can be a messenger in your own community. Identify one way you can prepare the way for others to encounter God. It could be through a conversation, an act of service, or simply by being a living example of God's love and truth.PrayerLord Almighty, empower us to be Your messengers, preparing the way for Your presence in our lives and in our world. Keep us alert and ready for Your sudden arrivals, and deepen our desire for You. Amen.As we continue our journey as spiritual warriors, let's embrace our role in this divine narrative. May you be a beacon of His light, always ready for the sudden ways He moves. Keep paving the way, friends, the adventure is just beginning.

Lao-tzu said, “the journey of a thousand miles begins with one step.” Our guest for this episode is a dreamer who, as a child, couldn't stop thinking about being in the film business. Today, as an actor, director, and producer Manish Dayal shares what he's learned about navigating imposter syndrome and how he finds balance through diversifying his focus. His career has led him to work on incredible shows such as 90210, RUBICON, HALT AND CATCH FIRE, and MARVEL'S AGENTS OF S.H.I.E.L.D. He starred opposite Helen Mirren in THE HUNDRED-FOOT JOURNEY, a film produced by Steven Spielberg and Oprah Winfrey. In his directorial debut, FIFTEEN YEARS LATER, he shares the screen with Matt McGorry and Rachel Brosnahan. And currently, Manish can be seen reprising his role as ‘Dr. Devon Pravesh' on 4th season of Fox's THE RESIDENT. We delve into set life during a pandemic and how that affects Manish's heightened sense of… Well, just listen and you'll find out! If you need some inspiration on finding your way back into artistry you've come to the right place. Sometimes all you need is a reminder that spring comes after winter.

After years of healthy meals and daily exercise, it was a surprise when Rhonda was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease. Her adoring husband, Owen, tells the story of their life together, and his strengths and struggles as he navigates her dementia. He and Barbara discuss how caregivers need to educate themselves about the disease and get the help they need. 

In the final episode of 2020, I speak with the director and editor, Lillian Benson. In our conversation, we talk about when she met the Civil Rights icon, Congressman John Lewis at the Academy Awards, the film she edited about his life, Get in the Way: The Journey of John Lewis, her documentary editing career, and her transition to the narrative world. Lillian’s commitment to integrity in her work and the telling Black stories is rooted in her keen sense of responsibility - a responsibility of truth-telling and of the reclamation buried and denied of histories. Because in all her work, she strives to help all of us remember who we truly are, this episode’s song is Ysaye M Barnwell’s “Wanting Memories.”

In Bhakti, we start by seeing ourselves as devotees who are separate from Paramatma, the Supreme Truth. We feel like small seekers constantly asking our grand creator for strength, knowledge, blessings or protection. But as we grow in spirituality, we see divinity’s reflection clearly within our hearts and comprehend that ‘i’ cannot be. There can ultimately only be one Truth of oneness. Once this is truly understood, our bhakti for the Lord is complete as our love, too, is vast, infinite and free. 

5.26.19 Shine Your Way: The Journey is Hard. Mark 8:31 - 9:1 The good news about Jesus is that He is faithful even when we are not. We've all been in places that we have had to make changes in our plans and directions. We guard our "kingdom" and think it is someone else's fault for things not working out. "Why can't we stay where we are?" or "We want to go back." The way that we've been heading may not be the way God wants us to go.
