Podcasts about world part

This is a Grave Talks CLASSIC EPISODE Long before she became a respected voice in the paranormal world, Amanda Quill was a child consumed by questions the living couldn't answer. Growing up between Canada and Scotland, she felt the pull of the unseen—drawn to haunted places, mysterious energies, and the secrets whispered by the dead. In this classic episode of The Grave Talks, we explore the early years of Amanda's extraordinary journey. At a time when few dared to speak openly about ghostly encounters or the spirit realm, Amanda was already searching for the truth. Every move, every strange experience, and every haunted location she crossed paths with only deepened her obsession with what lies beyond. From cold castles in Scotland to quiet Canadian towns filled with restless spirits, Amanda's curiosity became her calling—guiding her toward a life spent communicating with the other side and uncovering truths that most would rather ignore. This is more than a story of hauntings—it's the story of a seeker who refused to look away from the unknown.

Today's we'll pick up where we left off last time in our study through the book of Acts. Right now we're examining chapter fourteen, and Paul and Barnabas' first missionary trip. This study could be subtitled "Acceptance and Opposition", because that's exactly what these two missionaries found in their travels sharing the Gospel.

We explore how selfish ambition is driving spiritual and social decay, and how a different kind of ambition—rooted in humility, love, purpose and God's vision—can rebuild what's broken.In this edition of Deep Reads, Darryl Howell reads the article “What's Going on with Our World?

The GIVE & GO.2 Corinthians 9

In week 4 of our series Ancient Wisdom in a Modern World, three speakers from Light Churchdeliver a message titled "Who Are Your Friends?"Friendship shapes who we become. In this week's message, Dave Awde unpacks how walking with the wise transforms our lives, Chiko Chupa explores the beauty of deep, authentic counsel, and our pastor Dan Belshaw challenges us to embrace truth-telling friendships that sharpen our faith. Drawing from Proverbs and the life of Jesus, this conversation invites you to reflect, realign, and rediscover the kind of friendships that lead you closer to wisdom - and closer to Christ.

I'm joined by Heinz Stücke, the world's most travelled cyclist, to reveal how a one-year bike trip became 51 years of cycling the world. This is part 1 of 2 from our conversations. Huge thanks to Lizzie Jenkins who filmed our session. Check her out on insta - @Lizzie_Jenkins_FilmListen If:You love a good “how on earth did that happen?” travel story, you're craving a nudge to shake up your routine, or you want to hear from someone who chose perpetual travel and adventure over the expected path in life.Key Takeaways:Start small, then keep going. Heinz didn't set out to travel for 51 years, he just kept saying “yes” to the next road. People make the journey. The most important aspect for Heinz were the encounters, kindness, and tiny moments he collected with people. Movement clears the mind. For Heinz, cycling was his “yoga.”  Click here to find out more about Helinox Camp ChairsSupport the showBuy me a coffee! I'm an affiliate for a few brands I genuinely use and recommend including:

Who Is Jesus - The End of the World (Part 3) by Anchor Church Palos

How do you receive God's Word? For many believers, the Bible is a tool used to reinforce their own preconceived notions and the way they want to perceive the world. They wield it recklessly as a sword, ready to take down anyone who disagrees with them. But, as Pastor Bill will point out in the example of the Bereans, this book, this gift from God, is meant to reveal who He is to our hearts. When we study it with humility, he'll reveal His truth and transform our hearts to be more like His.

In today's message from Pastor Bill, we'll encounter a group of Jews who challenge us in our walk. This group was from the region of Berea, and they were known and still remembered for their faithfulness to God's Word. They diligently studied it daily, and when Paul came with the Gospel, they received him eagerly and weighed his words against the Word of God. This is what we need to be doing every time we take in teaching, testing it for ourselves to be sure it aligns with Scripture.

Passion For the Lost.Romans 10:1 & Acts 9:22

In week three of Ancient Wisdom in a Modern World, Pastor Dan Belshaw explores the subtle trap of self-indulgence - how excess in specifically food and alcohol, can slowly dull our hearts to God. Dan unpacks Proverbs' call to live with wisdom and self-control, showing that true satisfaction isn't found in feeding every craving but in walking closely with Jesus. This message is a compassionate invitation to freedom, focus, and a life lived well before God.

Lloyd has titled this study “Bringing the Gospel to The World”, and that's exactly what we see going, as Peter embarks on a journey to share the good news of salvation through Christ. God is our friend - in fact He's the best friend we'll ever have. Yet many people don't see Him that way, and they're missing out on a wonderful relationship.

Today we're going to talk a bit about God's way of doing things. Mankind has tried to figure God out for about as long as we've existed. Perhaps a better way of dealing with the task would be to just accept God's plans, and worship Him! Our text today is Acts chapter ten, and a vision God gave to Cornelius.

Featuring Avery Johnson (soloist), Safiya Simpson (soprano), Aviana Gedler (soprano and viola), Hannah Goodwin (alto), Kasey J. Domer (tenor), and Tommy Boynton (guitar). Be More Kind Music and lyrics by Frank Turner History's been leaning on me lately. I can feel the future breathing down my neck. And all the things I thought were true When I was young, and you were too Turned out to be broken, And I don't know what comes next. In a world that has decided That it's going to lose its mind – Be more kind, my friends, try to be more kind They've started raising walls around the world now Like hackles raised upon a cornered cat. On the borders, in our heads, Between things that can and can't be said, We've stopped talking to each other And there's something wrong with that. So before you go out searching Don't decide what you will find – Be more kind, my friends, try to be more kind. You should know you're not alone. And trouble comes, and trouble goes. How this ends, no one knows. So hold on tight when the wind blows. The wind blew both of us to sand and sea, And where the dry land stands is hard to say. As the current drags us by the shore, We can no longer say for sure Who's drowning, or if they can be saved. And when you're out there floundering Like a lighthouse we will shine – Be more kind, my friends, try to be more kind. Like a beacon reaching out To you and yours from me and mine – Be more kind, my friends, try to be more kind In a world that has decided That it's going to lose its mind – Be more kind, my friends, try to be more kind Follow Holy Shed on Facebook; https://www.facebook.com/theholyshed/ Support Holy Shed on Ko-fi; https://ko-fi.com/holyshed follow Dave on https://facebook.com/dave.tomlinson.925/ follow Dave on https://instagram.com/bad_christian/Go

Ps. Samuel teaches how faith-filled words that we speak can create endless possibilities.

Mark 16:14-15 & Isaiah 6:8

This we wrap up our discussion of the Eightfold Path by talking about 3 components of Meditation/samādhi: Wise Effort, Wise Mindfulness, and Wise Concentration. We'll talk about how our meditation practice isn't just to calm the mind, and why we need it now more than ever. Plus I'll give you some ways you can begin practicing samādhi in your own daily life.You will learn:// The real reason we meditate (it's not what you think!)// The 3 parts of samādhi: Wise Effort, Wise Mindfulness, and Wise Concentration// Why modern industrialized society has given many of us a complicated relationship with “effort”// How meditation (samādhi) trains the mind to pause between impulse and action - not to escape life, but to meet it fully.// Why ethical living quiets inner conflict and creates the ground for real peace and a solid meditation practice.// How to recognize when effort becomes striving// What mindfulness truly means: remembering what matters and staying awake to what's real, even when it's uncomfortable.// How concentration offers refuge in an age of distraction// Why the Eightfold Path isn't about checking out, but learning to see clearly and act with integrity in a world that needs awake hearts.Resources:// Episode 44: The Power of the Pause// Episode 208: The Sit Spot Practice - When It's Hard to Meditate// Episode 209: Ripening and the Inevitability of Our Awakening// Listen to Ana talk with Brooke Castillo on The Life Coach School Podcast about how Buddhism was using thoughtwork thousands of years ago// Episode 278: Off the Cushion and Into the World – Part 1 Intro and the Three Jewels// Episode 279: Reality Check – Off the Cushion + Into the World Part 2// Episode 281: Wisdom In Action – Off the Cushion Part 3// Episode 282:  Remembering Our Humanity – A Lesson of the Ages// If you're new to the squad, grab the Rebel Buddhist Toolkit I created at RebelBuddhist.com.

This week, we're finishing our time with Kawai Koume by looking at how life in Wakayama had changed by the mid-1870s. Feudalism is no more, Confucianism is a historical relic, and the samurai class are in the midst of being consigned to the dustbin of history; so what is Koume thinking and doing as she's watching the world she grew up with vanish in the final years of her life?

The intelligence world is evolving rapidly. Former CIA officer Andrew Bustamante explains Cold War tech, Ukraine strategy, and global conflicts. [Pt. 2/2 — catch Pt. 1/2 here!]Full show notes and resources can be found here: jordanharbinger.com/1221What We Discuss with Andrew Bustamante:Jeffrey Epstein was likely an FBI confidential informant rather than a CIA asset. The FBI can grant immunity for domestic crimes, while CIA has no authority to provide legal cover for American citizens committing crimes in the US.Blackmail is the weakest form of manipulation. Once information is released, it can be denied as fake or AI-generated, and the blackmailer has already spent their only leverage with no guarantee of success.Social media isn't a battlefield — it's a mosh pit with all offensive operations and no defense. State actors create chaos cheaply, forcing opponents to spend vastly more resources fighting disinformation.Israel serves as a strategic watchdog for US interests. By weakening Hezbollah, Hamas, and Iran, Netanyahu has secured not just Israel but also Saudi Arabia and the United States for two decades.CIA persuasion and influence techniques are based on empirical science and human behavior patterns.

Every day, ordinary people experience things that defy logic—fleeting moments that leave them questioning everything they know about reality. A husband haunted by the ghost of his wife's first love. A police officer chasing glowing orbs across empty country roads. A soldier pulled back from the brink of death by what can only be described as an out-of-body intervention. In his new book “STRANGE: Paranormal Realities in the Everyday World,” renowned author and investigator Andy Thomas pulls back the curtain on these extraordinary encounters, examining stories that skeptics dismiss but witnesses cannot deny. Today, Andy joins us to explore the patterns hidden within the unexplained. Are these experiences simply folklore and coincidence—or evidence of something far larger at work?  Get ready to step beyond the boundaries of the ordinary… into a world that is, in every sense of the word, Strange.

The intelligence world is evolving rapidly. Former CIA officer Andrew Bustamante explains Cold War tech, Ukraine strategy, and global conflicts. [Pt. 1/2]Full show notes and resources can be found here: jordanharbinger.com/1220What We Discuss with Andrew Bustamante:Number stations are still active intelligence tools. These mysterious shortwave radio broadcasts transmitting sequences of numbers remain a viable covert communication method. Using one-time pad encryption, they allow intelligence services to send untraceable messages to operatives worldwide. The receiver is nearly impossible to identify since anyone with a cheap shortwave radio could be listening, making this Cold War technology still relevant in the digital age.World War III may already be underway. According to Andrew, there are currently 161 active conflict zones globally, most involving multiple countries supporting different sides through proxy warfare. This represents a fundamentally different kind of world war — not the massive conventional battles of WWII, but an interconnected web of conflicts where nations profit economically from supporting wars without direct engagement.Russia is winning in Ukraine. Despite Western support, Russia continues to control 17-18% of Ukrainian territory and maintains consistent progress. Putin's long-term messaging strategy has been remarkably effective, and with decreasing US support, Ukraine faces an increasingly difficult position. The conflict may ultimately result in a divided nation, with reconstruction contracts becoming the real prize for both Western and Russian interests.Leaving the CIA is designed to be nearly impossible. The Agency provides zero transition assistance and maintains operatives in "leave without pay" status rather than terminating them, making it easy to return but extremely difficult to move forward. Covert officers face resume gaps they cannot explain, fake work histories that don't check out, and a cover rollback process that can take years — all designed to make former officers fail and return.International experience creates unique opportunities and safety nets. Whether it's obtaining dual citizenship for your children, understanding how to navigate corrupt systems (like ducking into upscale hotels owned by powerful people when police hassle you), or recognizing that Americans abroad often receive preferential treatment, global exposure provides tangible advantages. Part two will explore more about modern espionage, global conflict, and what it means for the rest of us.And much more...And if you're still game to support us, please leave a review here — even one sentence helps!

In an age of polarization, conspiracy thinking, and deepening mistrust, how can we cultivate a trust that is wise and healing –for our own heart and the world? This talk explores the personal and collective forces that foster mistrust, and through reflection and applied practices, we'll explore how to nurture a trust in basic goodness and a felt sense of belonging, even in the most divided times.
