Podcasts about widows

Born in London in 1911, Flint grew up in modest circumstances but claimed to hear voices of the departed from childhood. Those early experiences set him on a lifelong path toward Spiritualism and the exploration of life after death. Unlike trance mediums who spoke on behalf of spirits, Flint's séances were said to produce independent voices, clearly audible to everyone in the room, appearing to come from midair rather than from the medium himself.Sitters described conversations that were intimate, humorous, and deeply emotional. The voices called people by name, shared private memories, and even argued or joked. Among them were recurring personalities such as “Mickey,” a lively Cockney boy spirit, and “Dr. Charles Marshall,” a calm, guiding presence who oversaw communication from the other side.During the Second World War, when grief touched nearly every British home, Flint's séances offered solace. Widows and parents reported hearing the familiar tones of loved ones lost in battle. Others claimed to encounter famous figures, Oscar Wilde, Queen Victoria, Mahatma Gandhi, each speaking in distinct character and style. To many, these sessions felt less like performances than reunions across the boundary of death.Flint was repeatedly tested. Investigators sealed his mouth, filled it with colored water, even bound him to a chair, yet the voices continued. Hundreds of hours of these sessions were recorded and can still be heard today through the Leslie Flint Educational Trust. Whether regarded as genuine spirit communication or an extraordinary unexplained acoustic phenomenon, they remain some of the clearest evidence of voices without visible source ever documented.In this episode, I take you through Flint's life, the atmosphere of his séances, and the enduring mystery of those voices in the dark. Was Leslie Flint truly speaking for the dead, or revealing new dimensions of consciousness still beyond our science? https://www.pastliveshypnosis.co.uk/https://www.patreon.com/ourparanormalafterlifeMy book 'Verified Near Death Experiences' https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DXKRGDFP Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Over the next five Tuesdays we're holding our own mini literature festival. We've delved deep in the archive to find some of the very best authors we've spoken to over the past seven years, and what an icon we have to kick it off! After a successful career as an actor Lynda La Plante became intrigued by the production process of television drama and began writing treatments, ideas for potential shows that were, well, very much her own. Although most were rejected, one was praised as utterly brilliant. By 1983, her six-part series Widows premiered and became the highest rating series of the early 1980s. Following the show's success, she established herself as a highly sought-after crime writer with women at the heart of her stories, and the release of her debut novel in 1987 quickly established her as a critically acclaimed best-selling author to boot, paving the way for a series of hit books that followed in rapid succession. By 1991, she hit new heights and broke new ground with the premiere of the world-renowned Prime Suspect. A detective drama starring Helen Mirren as DCI Jane Tennyson, which went on to win numerous BAFTAs, Emmys and Golden Globes over the course of its seven seasons and made Helen Mirren a bona fide global superstar. It's no surprise that in 2008 she was awarded a CBE for her services to literature, drama and charity. is a member of the Crime Thriller Award Hall of FameWe'll be back on Thursday with a brand new episode.

Do you ever feel like you're just going through the motions? Like you're functioning, but not really living? If you're nodding your head, you're not alone.

It's that space where you're stable enough to function, but your future feels uncertain and life doesn't quite feel like you'd like it to. You might be back at work, taking care of your family, and managing day-to-day tasks, but inside, something feels... missing. If you're ready to take that first step, tune in this week as I share three essential keys to help you get unstuck and move beyond this plateau.Get full show notes, transcript, and more information here: https://www.coachingwithkrista.com/335

Paul leaves Timothy behind in Ephesus to help a struggling church get back on track. One of the many issues is widows. Who is supposed to be taking care of the widows and what constitutes a widow that can be helped? Are their stipulations? What does Paul have to say about the younger widows? What about the widow who decides she isn't going to be devoted to God and just wants to liver her life the way she sees fit? We dive into all of this and more in this podcast!

SUMMARY: - Guest, Author and speaker Debora Coty shares how to find joy amid pain, drawing from deep personal losses and decades of ministering to women. - Writing journey: Her Too Blessed to Be Stressed brand unexpectedly grew to 40+ books/products with 2M+ copies sold worldwide; new devotional Bless Your Heart focuses on daily encouragement. - “Papa God”: She uses the intimate, biblical sense of Abba (Papa/Daddy) to help women experience God's unconditional love beyond imperfect earthly-father images. - Faith in crisis: Six miscarriages triggered a two-year spiritual shutdown; daily praying through the Psalms—starting with “angry” psalms—slowly reopened her heart to God's presence. - Recent trials: Multiple family deaths, job loss, knee replacements, a spouse's cancer, and a 5-year legal battle to protect her grandchildren—culminating in unexpected, miraculous breakthrough. - Joy vs. happiness: Happiness depends on circumstances; joy is a chosen, steady confidence in God's unchanging character that can coexist with grief. - Tools for resilience: Gratitude (Philippians 4:6–7), worship/music, nature, Scripture, intentional fun and laughter, and noticing daily “grace notes” (small signs of God's care). - “BOGO blessings”: Inspired by 1 Peter 3:9—when you bless others, you “be one, get one,” receiving blessing as you give it. - Anchoring Scriptures: Philippians 4:6–7 (peace covenant), Psalm 46:1 (ever-present help), Psalm 147:3 (heals the brokenhearted). - Invitation: Join her BFF (Blessed Friends Forever) community for mutual prayer, encouragement, and practical faith; final charge—keep seeking God's presence with perseverance.   PODCAST INTRO: If you've ever wondered how joy can possibly coexist with grief, today's conversation is for you. I'm joined by beloved author and encourager Debora Coty—creator of the Too Blessed to Be Stressed series, with over two million copies in print worldwide. She and I had a chance to connect for the podcast while she was visiting family in the Smokey Mountains and Debora brought her signature warmth, humor, and hard-won wisdom to help us find God's presence in life's most painful seasons. We talk about the difference between happiness and true, resilient joy; how scripture—especially the Psalms and Philippians 4:6–7—anchors us when our faith feels shaken; and the “grace notes” God sprinkles through our days when we learn to look for them. Debora opens up about profound losses—miscarriages, family heartbreak, health challenges, and a long, exhausting court battle—and how waiting on God can still lead to breathtaking redemption. You'll hear practical tools to refresh a weary spirit: gratitude that changes the atmosphere, worship that invites God's presence, nature that whispers His care, and yes—laughter—as a catalyst for joy. Debora also shares about her new devotional, Bless Your Heart, and invites you into her BFF—Blessed Friends Forever—community for prayer, connection, and ongoing encouragement. Let's listen in as Debora shares her message of joy, hope and encouragement. As soon as she starts talking you know immediately that's she's an encourager at heart maybe it's because she exudes the joy of the Lord…and because of that joy, I think you'll be surprising to hear all that she's been through and yet she still keeps leaning on Jesus for His joy and strength.

In today's podcast, we start to cover 1 Timothy 5 where Paul is writing Timothy to give him instructions for the church in Ephesus. In chapter 5, Paul deals with widows and how they are to be taken care of. Is it the church's responsibility to take care of widows? We go back to the Old Testament and see what God had to say about widows back then and the laws He gave to the people through Moses and some examples of how God used widows to usher in the Messiah!

This Kenyan Missionary Trip 2025 Update will hopefully inform you about our two-month's work here in Kenya. Since we've been here, much work has been completed on behalf some of the widows of Kehancha and Kisii, all of which I detail in this update for you. Nevertheless, there remains so much more to do in the remaining 3-1/2 months we're here. We invite you to take a listen and hopefully you will be led to support this ministry to help lift the souls of some of Kenya's most disenfranchised and discarded individuals: the widows. Torah instructs us to not neglect either the widow or the orphan. Thus, it is our job as Messianics/Nazarene Israelites to do our best to tend to them and help them overcome their plight. qumranfamilyfoundation.org Shalom.

Episode 344: How to Care For Orphans and Widows   Recognize that you have widows and /or orphans in your church and community. Single Moms (and single dads) Caring For Widows Be intentional. Assign specific people to serve specific widows. Call them. Send cards. Help them with home and auto repairs. Visit and take meals. Give them a hug. Hold their hand. Widow and widower banquets Caring for Orphans Encourage church members to become foster parents. (Example: Amy in Yuma asked God for a sign) Support foster families How many children in America need foster homes? Support Christian children's homes. Don't just assume that the government is going to take care of orphans. Volunteer. Raise funds. Consider mentoring programs Example: The Buzzards (little brothers). Pair up a man with an orphan boy to teach them what a dad would teach. Encourage mentoring Programs - Fathers in the Field after-school tutoring projects Single moms are another area of need physical, emotional, and financial burden car repairs school supplies care groups -

What do you say to someone who's just lost the love of their life? Is it better to stay quiet for fear of saying the wrong thing, or is silence actually the most painful response of all? In this deeply moving episode of Financially Ever After Widowhood, Stacy Francis sits down with Amy Woody, Director of the Widows Program at Stand in the Gap - and a widow herself - to talk about what real support looks like. Amy opens up about her own journey of losing her husband suddenly at 36, raising her young daughter, and discovering her calling to help other widows. Together, they explore the words and actions that truly matter when someone's world has been turned upside down. You'll hear them discuss: Why saying something is always better than saying nothing, even if it's simply “I'm so sorry” The harm of avoiding the “elephant in the room” and how acknowledging loss brings comfort Practical, concrete ways to help - from mowing the lawn to dropping off paper goods - that make a real difference The importance of building trust early so that widows feel safe enough to ask for support when they need it most How sharing memories and stories honors loved ones and helps keep their presence alive Amy's life motto of using your hurt to help others and making beauty from ashes — and how it can change the way we face our own challenges Resources Amy Woody on the Stand In The Gap | Facebook | LinkedIn | Email: amyw@sitgm.org | Phone number: 405-476-0165 Stacy Francis on LinkedIn | X(Twitter) | Email FrancisFinancial.com Reach out to receive a complimentary consultation!

The human brain has a remarkable ability to adapt to both positive and negative life changes, eventually returning us to a baseline level of happiness.    When your person dies, it can feel like your happiness baseline has been permanently lowered. Many widows worry they'll never experience the same level of joy or fulfillment they once knew. But here's what modern science tells us: your happiness is changeable through consistent, intentional practice.   Join me today to learn how hedonic adaptation works like an emotional thermostat that pulls you back to your normal happiness level, what keeps some people stuck at a lower happiness set point, and how savoring micro-joys interrupts hedonic adaptation and strengthens positive neural pathways.   Get full show notes, transcript, and more information here: https://www.coachingwithkrista.com/326
