Podcasts about Wholeness

As humans, we are governed by our core beliefs, many of which we aren't even aware of. There are so many things we believe to be true and so many foundational concepts of our perception we never question. So in this episode, we're going to question them. Ram Dass was an American Spiritual teacher, psychologist, and writer. He gained popularity in the early 1960s by bringing concepts of consciousness and spirituality from India, to America.  His book, "Be Here Now" is a spiritual classic selling over two million copies. He began as a professor at Harvard before being fired along with Timothy Leary for experimenting and advocating the use of psychedelics. Now, as a proper Christian, I was fairly unaware of Ram Dass. That is until the winter of 2024 when my Dad, Dan Miller of 48 Days To The Work & Life You Love fame, was diagnosed with cancer. During the six weeks between his diagnosis and ultimate death, he had little interest in any topic other than spirituality. And one of the people he tuned into was Ram Dass. My brother Jared and my Dad would pull up YouTube videos of Ram Dass and I got my first real exposure. My spiritual journey since then has been nothing short of revelatory. And such was my delight when the giant publisher, Harper, contacted me about doing a show on a new book from Ram Dass. What it ended up being was a new book compiled from over 50 talks Ram Dass conducted, compiled and edited by Parvati Markus, who was at the right hand of Ram Dass since the beginning of his spiritual leadership. Parvati is an author of multiple books on spirituality and one of the closest long term friends to Ram Dass that ever existed. In this episode Parvati joins me to talk through key issues Ram discusses such as our human propensity, especially in western cultures, to think in terms of “us” vs “them.” We discuss Judgement vs appreciation. Then attachments and the danger of what we cling to. And we spend a lot of time talking about the dangers of identifying with our roles, which for much of humanity, again, I think exaggerated in our western culture, is all that we know to identify with. The new book, which I've read front to back twice now, is There Is No Other: The Way to Harmony and Wholeness. Connect more at ramdass.org.

325 – Does your life ever feel incomplete?How often do you feel like there's something missing in your life? It could be a relationship, a better job, enough money to pay the bills, better health. It could go deeper than that. You might feel like your life is incomplete because you don't know what your higher sense of purpose is, and if you do, you're not sure how to fulfill it. Why is it that most of us at some time or another feel like something is missing in our lives? We don't feel complete or whole. Maybe even if you have all the outward signs of success, on the inside, you may still feel incomplete.In this week's episode, we're going to talk about Jesus's perspective on what it means to be whole and how to catch his vision to experience our wholeness, our completeness as children of God.If Jesus was here today physically like he was 2,000 years ago, he would see your wholeness and show it to you.The good news is Christ is here today revealing your spiritual wholeness to you through the Holy Spirit. ∞∞∞∞∞∞SHOW NOTES: Full transcript and all Bible quotes––thebiblespeakstoyou.com/325Text me your questions or comments.Support the showIf you enjoy the podcast, please rate and leave a review on Apple Podcasts or Spotify__________________James Early, the Jesus Mindset Coach, is a Bible teacher, speaker, and podcaster.

SHOW NOTES: On this show…we're talking about speaking life. How the words we use, both out loud and in our heads, can either drain our energy or feed our strength. Have you ever noticed how quickly one negative thought can spiral into an entire mood? One complaint, one worry, one “what if,” and before you know it, you're swimming in tension and exhaustion. It's wild how something as simple as language can shape how we feel, think, and even heal. I've always believed that we're more powerful than we realize. The body, mind, and spirit are in constant conversation with one another. Every thought sends a message. Every word carries weight. And when we speak life, when we choose words of hope, belief, and gratitude, we set off a chain reaction toward peace and restoration. I'm not saying life suddenly becomes easy or that we can positive-think our way out of every challenge. But I do believe that we can rise above chaos and confusion by intentionally choosing the voice we let lead. We've all seen what happens when negativity takes over. Worry turns into anxiety, anxiety into stress, and stress into physical strain. Cortisol spikes, sleep suffers, and our patience runs thin. It's like our entire system is on alert, reacting to a story we keep repeating even if that story isn't true. But what if we flipped the script? What if we started calling life as we want to see it, not ignoring reality, but speaking possibility into it? There's a fine line between being honest about what's happening and being captive to it. You can acknowledge the storm and still believe in the sun. That's what speaking life is about: setting your internal thermostat instead of being the thermometer that just reacts to everything around you. Choosing peace even when the world feels loud. Trusting your resilience, your purpose, your ability to heal. Faith-filled words often come before faith-filled feelings. CHALLENGE: Be intentional with your words this week. Speak life into every situation: into your thoughts, your relationships, and your dreams. When negativity creeps in, stop it mid-sentence and choose words that reflect faith, hope, and healing instead. Let your language lead your life in the direction you want to grow. I Know YOU Can Do It!  

In this episode, I sat down with the powerful and anointed Dr. Jay Barnett, and y'all… whew. This conversation went far beyond what I expected. We talked about healing, wholeness, calling, and obedience — the kind that breaks you down before it builds you back up. Dr. Jay shared how God told him to be quiet during one of the darkest public storms of his life, and how that silence became his greatest act of obedience. Hearing him say, “Obedience is best displayed when you don't understand,” stopped me in my tracks.We got real about relationships too — why being single in purpose is harder than being lonely, why you can't pour from an empty cup, and how discernment saves your calling. He said something that shook me: “You can't be a whale connected to a swimming pool.” That hit home. Because I've been there — trying to shrink to fit what wasn't meant for me.We also dove into what it means to move from healing to wholeness, how to protect your peace when you're constantly pouring into others, and why it's okay to let God be your companion while He's preparing the right one. This episode reminded me that obedience, surrender, and alignment aren't passive — they're power moves.If this conversation spoke to your spirit, share it with a friend who's walking through their own season of letting go.

Many high achievers, including pastors, business leaders, and difference-makers, struggle with burnout, shame, and the pressure to constantly perform. In this episode, Lee Domingue sits down with Jerry Henderson, founder of the Personal Mastery Framework, to uncover the real reasons leaders hit the wall and how to find freedom from the inside out.  Jerry shares his powerful personal story, from growing up in poverty and trauma to leading at a global level and rediscovering his true identity in Christ. Together, Lee and Jerry explore what it means to live in alignment, cultivate resilience, and lead from a place of healing rather than striving.  If you have ever felt like your achievements were outpacing your emotional health, this conversation is one you need to hear. 

In this episode of Hunger for Wholeness, Robert Nicastro welcomes back theologian, minister, and director of Process and Faith, Dr. Sheri Kling, for a rich conversation on the power of theology to renew spiritual life in a fragmented world.Sheri shares the story behind Renewing Faith, a newly released collection of essays emerging from a 2025 conference that brought together voices exploring how process and open and relational theology can breathe new life into Christian practice. Together, she and Robert unpack how these movements offer a vision of God not as a distant, all-controlling force, but as a deeply relational presence—persuasive, not coercive, and intimately involved in the unfolding of creation.Throughout the episode, Sheri explains key theological ideas in everyday terms, weaving in science, mysticism, and lived experience. She reflects on her own journey from Jungian psychology to process thought, and how this path gave her a more integrated, healing view of God, suffering, and spiritual wholeness.Later, Sheri offers a profound reimagining of divine power—sharing a story from Proverbs of Ashes that illustrates how a theology of persuasive love can make space for grief, agency, and hope.ABOUT SHERI KLING“We are a fragmented people in a fragmented world—but when we begin to think with a more integrative, relational vision of reality, faith can come alive again. We discover that we matter, we belong, and we can participate in the sacred work of a whole-making cosmos.”Sheri D. Kling, Ph.D., is a writer, theologian, songwriter, and spiritual teacher who serves as director of Process & Faith with the Center for Process Studies, interim minister of Redeemer Lutheran Church in Bradenton, Florida, and teaches regularly for the Haden Institute and Claremont School of Theology, from which she earned her doctorate. She is the author of A Process Spirituality: Christian and Transreligious Resources for Transformation and editor of Renewing Faith: Reigniting Faith and Ministry through Process and Open & Relational Theologies. She speaks, teaches, and leads retreats on spirituality, theology, and transformation, and her work can be found online at sherikling.com and her Substack, The Sacred Everywhere.Ilia Delio's upcoming webinar, The Christian Mutation: Why God Cannot Be Static, asks whether Christianity has traded the revolutionary God of Jesus for a safe abstraction. She explores instead a God who becomes with us: relational, vulnerable, and love in movement. Join us Thursday, December 4, 5:00–6:30 p.m. ET.

Olivia Amitrano — founder of Organic Olivia and now recording artist OLIVIA — returns to explore the art of reinvention, inner child healing, and overcoming the fear of the unknown. Olivia opens up about shedding the identity that built her success, rediscovering creativity through play, and learning to trust herself again after a period of deep change. She shares how solo travel, sobriety, and stillness led her back to her truest self, and how embracing imperfection and presence opened the door to her next evolution as an artist. Together, we discuss the courage it takes to outgrow old versions of yourself, why creative play is medicine, and how being present — not perfect — is the ultimate definition of living Ever Forward.

How often do we, like the man at the pool of Bethesda, fix our eyes on what we think will bring relief while overlooking the One who truly can make us whole? In this episode, we look at how focusing on earthly solutions can cause us to miss divine opportunities. Jesus stands before us—not merely to change our circumstances, but to transform our lives.

LESSON 309I Will Not Fear To Look Within Today.Within me is Eternal Innocence, because it is God's Will that It be there forever and forever. I, His Son, whose will is limitless as is His Own, can will no change in this. For to deny my Father's Will is to deny my own. To look within is but to find my will as God created it, and as it is. I fear to look within because I think I made another will that is not true, and made it real. Yet it has no effects. Within me is the holiness of God. Within me is the memory of Him.The step I take today, my Father, is my sure release from idle dreams of sin. Your altar stands serene and undefiled. It is the holy altar to my Self, and there I find my true Identity.- Jesus Christ in ACIM

LESSON 304Let Not My World Obscure The Sight Of Christ.I can obscure my holy sight, if I intrude my world upon it. Nor can I behold the holy sights Christ looks upon, unless it is His vision that I use. Perception is a mirror, not a fact. And what I look on is my state of mind, reflected outward. I would bless the world by looking on it through the eyes of Christ. And I will look upon the certain signs that all my sins have been forgiven me.You lead me from the darkness to the light; from sin to holiness. Let me forgive, and thus receive salvation for the world. It is Your gift, my Father, given me to offer to Your holy Son, that he may find again the memory of You, and of Your Son as You created him.- Jesus Christ in ACIM

When insecurity takes over, most of us double down on self-improvement. But what if freedom doesn't come from focusing more on yourself - but less? In this powerful conversation, Dr. Alison and author of Free of Me and Gazing at God, Sharon Hodde Miller, discuss the promises and pitfalls of self-esteem culture - and why a bigger story of belovedness, stewardship, and connection sets us free.  We talk about how self-preoccupation doesn't improve self-esteem, why “just love yourself more” can reinforce the problem, and how beholding God (not abandoning yourself) recenters your life with humility and purpose. In this episode, we cover: Why self-focus can erode your confidence and joy The difference between self-esteem and self-preoccupation What it means to de-center yourself without losing your worth How wounds can masquerade as pride or insecurity The freedom that comes from remembering: you are not the hero of the story Get your hands on a copy of Sharon's books!

In today's episode, I sit down with Josh Trent, founder of the Wellness and Wisdom Podcast and creator of the Life Method, who brings a decade of wisdom on identity transformation and building from wholeness. We dive into why identity transformation matters more than marketing tactics, the three phases of entrepreneurial growth (and why most skip the most important one), and the garden metaphor that will change how you approach your inner work. Josh brings raw honesty and practical wisdom on why there are no shortcuts, how to embrace the messy middle, and why people buy your energy, not your information. You don't want to miss this one.

When the challenge remains, it might be the very place you're being formed. In this short, faith-centered reflection, Claudia invites you to reframe lingering struggles. This isn't proof of failure, rather it's the ground where God continues to shape character, deepen dependence, and pull you toward who you're becoming. Claudia names the gap between who you are and who you're called to be, and offers gentle language for living inside the unfinished without shame.Expect compassionate truth-telling, a few simple prompts for honest self-inquiry, and permission to move at the pace of wholeness rather than urgency. If you've prayed, processed, and it still isn't “over,” this episode will help you see the ongoing as formation, not defeat.Ready to go deeper?

His areas of expertise include ethics, Nietzsche, 19th-20th century continental philosophy, and philosophy of Action. In this episode, we talk about three of Nietzsche's ideals: becoming what one is, sovereignty, and wholeness. We start with the ideal of becoming what one is: what it is, what one's own uniqueness is, Nitzsche's takes on the drives and free will, and the mechanisms to become what one is. We then talk about sovereignty: what a morally responsible agent is, and the role of moral guilt. We also discuss wholeness: what it is, and social integration. Finally, we talk about the pathos of distance and aristocracy, and whether it is compatible with democracy.--A HUGE THANK YOU TO MY PATRONS/SUPPORTERS: PER HELGE LARSEN, JERRY MULLER, BERNARDO SEIXAS, ADAM KESSEL, MATTHEW WHITINGBIRD, ARNAUD WOLFF, TIM HOLLOSY, HENRIK AHLENIUS, ROBERT WINDHAGER, RUI INACIO, ZOOP, MARCO NEVES, COLIN HOLBROOK, PHIL KAVANAGH, SAMUEL ANDREEFF, FRANCIS FORDE, TIAGO NUNES, FERGAL CUSSEN, HAL HERZOG, NUNO MACHADO, JONATHAN LEIBRANT, JOÃO LINHARES, STANTON T, SAMUEL CORREA, ERIK HAINES, MARK SMITH, JOÃO EIRA, TOM HUMMEL, SARDUS FRANCE, DAVID SLOAN WILSON, YACILA DEZA-ARAUJO, ROMAIN ROCH, DIEGO LONDOÑO CORREA, YANICK PUNTER, CHARLOTTE BLEASE, NICOLE BARBARO, ADAM HUNT, PAWEL OSTASZEWSKI, NELLEKE BAK, GUY MADISON, GARY G HELLMANN, SAIMA AFZAL, ADRIAN JAEGGI, PAULO TOLENTINO, JOÃO BARBOSA, JULIAN PRICE, HEDIN BRØNNER, DOUGLAS FRY, FRANCA BORTOLOTTI, GABRIEL PONS CORTÈS, URSULA LITZCKE, SCOTT, ZACHARY FISH, TIM DUFFY, SUNNY SMITH, JON WISMAN, WILLIAM BUCKNER, PAUL-GEORGE ARNAUD, LUKE GLOWACKI, GEORGIOS THEOPHANOUS, CHRIS WILLIAMSON, PETER WOLOSZYN, DAVID WILLIAMS, DIOGO COSTA, ALEX CHAU, AMAURI MARTÍNEZ, CORALIE CHEVALLIER, BANGALORE ATHEISTS, LARRY D.

LESSON 303The Holy Christ Is Born In Me Today.Watch with me, angels, watch with me today. Let all God's holy Thoughts surround me, and be still with me while Heaven's Son is born. Let earthly sounds be quiet, and the sights to which I am accustomed disappear. Let Christ be welcomed where He is at home. And let Him hear the sounds He understands, and see but sights that show His Father's Love. Let Him no longer be a stranger here, for He is born again in me today.Your Son is welcome, Father. He has come to save me from the evil self I made. He is the Self That You have given me. He is but what I really am in truth. He is the Son You love above all things. He is my Self as You created me. It is not Christ That can be crucified. Safe in Your Arms let me receive Your Son.- Jesus Christ in ACIM

 Mind, Body, and Energy: Breaking Free with Dr. Amy Albright In this powerful episode of Linda's Corner, we're delighted to welcome Dr. Amy Albright, a transformational healer and expert in neuroscience, energy work, and spiritual integration. With a background in cognitive psychology and Chinese medicine, Dr. Amy has spent over two decades helping people break free from trauma, anxiety, and limiting beliefs by harmonizing the mind, body, and energy.Dr. Amy shares how our brainwaves—from delta to gamma—function like colors in a rainbow, each serving a different purpose in our mental and emotional health. She explains how getting stuck in high beta can lead to overwhelm and anxiety, while accessing gamma opens the door to insight, forgiveness, innovation, and deeper consciousness.We also explore the truth about mental health from a neurobiological perspective. “If your car is pinging, you don't feel shame—you just take it to the mechanic,” Dr. Amy says. “The same should go for your brain.” Her work integrates highly precise neurological diagnostics, spiritual insight, and intuition to help people rediscover who they truly are underneath the layers of trauma and societal expectations.

This week, Thomas shares a teaching on trauma healing, ego integration, and embodied trust. Through the lens of traditional spiritual practices and the Tao Te Ching, he explores how trauma disconnects us from inner coherence, and why it's important to understand and accept the intelligence of our defense patterns instead of simply trying to get rid of them.He also shares a unique perspective on trust, relationality, and worthiness, and challenges the idea of completely “dissolving the ego” and achieving an ideal self, offering a more holistic approach that highlights the necessary function of the ego and the need for all of our parts to be acknowledged and integrated.✨ Click here to watch the video version of this episode on YouTube:

"The Christian faith does not destroy culture, but purifies and uplifts it. It takes away nothing of genuine value from a society or nation, but strengthens whatever is good for the betterment of all."~ St. John Paul IIWhat does it mean to live a beautiful life?How can I create a Catholic culture in my own life, family, school, or work?Should I be aiming to create a utopia on earth?In this insightful episode of This Whole Life, hosts Pat and Kenna sit down with Monsignor James Shea, president of the University of Mary, to explore the deep connection between faith, mental health, and the quest for true integration in everyday life.
