Podcasts about You Are Not Alone

What if your darkest valley is actually the birthplace of your greatest victory? In Part 5 of our powerful journey through Psalm 23, Pastor Travis Hearn delivers a soul-stirring message that takes us deep into one of the most battlefield-ready verses in the Bible: “Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for You are with me…” (Psalm 23:4 NKJV). Drawing from personal stories and biblical depth, Pastor Travis brings to life the raw reality of valley seasons—places of heartbreak, loss, fear, and uncertainty—and reveals how God's presence, provision, preparation, and protection are most alive in those very moments. You'll walk through the ancient terrain of Wadi Qelt, the literal Valley of the Shadow of Death, and discover that valleys aren't destinations—they're passageways. This isn't just a sermon. It's a declaration for every weary soul: You're not stuck. You're not alone. You're being shaped for victory. From David slaying giants in the Valley of Elah, to dry bones rising in Ezekiel's vision, to Jesus calling Himself the Light that shatters shadows—this message will help you see that your valley is not the end. It's the beginning of your breakthrough. Stop cursing your valley. Start claiming your destiny. You are just passing through... and victory is waiting on the other side.

Cariad Lloyd never set out to become the voice of modern grief, but after losing her father at just fifteen, the silence around death stayed with her. In this episode of Full Disclosure, James O'Brien speaks with the actor, comedian and creator of Griefcast podcast about how turning her personal loss into public conversation has transformed both her life and others'.Together they explore the tension between comedy and sorrow, the strange rituals of mourning, and why so many of us feel unequipped to talk about death. Cariad shares the moments that shaped her, the people she's never forgotten, and how the making of her book You Are Not Alone helped her say what so many struggle to find words for.Poignant, funny, and gently radical, Cariad reflects on love, loss, and learning to hold space for the chaos of being human.Find out more about Cariad Lloyd's children's book, Where Did She Go?: A heartfelt story to help children understand loss here

Have you ever felt so tired that even sleep can't fix it? A weariness that goes beyond your body, deep into your soul? This message is for every person carrying silent weight, fighting silent battles, and feeling like they're running on empty. In Part 2 of the Psalm 23 Collection, Pastor Travis Hearn preaches a word straight to the exhausted, overwhelmed, and soul-weary. It's not just that you're tired—it's that you're soul tired. But there's hope. There's healing. And there's rest—not the kind found in a nap or a vacation, but the kind only found in the presence of Jesus. Unpack Psalm 23:2 like never before: “He makes me lie down in green pastures. He leads me beside still waters.” This isn't poetry—it's a prescription. When your soul is collapsing under pressure, God doesn't push you harder—He gently leads you to peace. This message explores how God restores the exhausted, how He leads with purpose, patience, and presence, and why rest is one of the most spiritual things you can do. If you're in a cave season, hiding like Elijah, God isn't done with you. The cave is not your coffin—it's your classroom. Get ready to come out different. Refreshed. Redeemed. Restored. Because when the Shepherd leads you beside still waters—you're not just surviving... You're healing. You're hydrating. You're home.

Is AI taking over the craft of coding? Many engineers now face an identity crisis.In the episode, Distinguished Engineer Annie Vella discusses her research on AI's impact on software development. She explores the “software engineering identity crisis” as the craft of coding becomes automated. Annie warns that the seductive speed of AI tools can lead to lower quality and delivery instability, a trend supported by reports from DORA and GitClear. She also cautions that over-reliance on AI prevents engineers from gaining the hands-on experience needed for deep skill acquisition.Key topics discussed:How AI is reshaping the software development lifecycleThe software engineer's professional identity crisisThe real danger of over-relying on AI toolsHow to balance the seduction of speed with long-term qualityCrucial advice for junior engineers entering the industryWhy leaders must shift focus from speed to qualityThe idea of treating AI as a team member instead of just a tool  Timestamps:(00:00:00) Trailer & Intro(00:02:32) AI Impact on Career and Software Engineering(00:07:00) The Future of AI-Driven Software Engineering(00:14:29) The Shift in the Role of Software Engineer(00:22:13) When Writing Code is Not the Bottleneck Anymore(00:32:04) The Danger of Over-Reliance on AI(00:38:51) The Software Engineering Identity Crisis(00:48:09) Advice for Junior Engineers in This Challenging Time(00:53:34) The Shift in the Role of Engineering Management(00:59:46) You Are Not Alone(01:00:50) 3 Tech Lead Wisdom_____Annie Vella's BioAnnie Vella is a Distinguished Engineer at Westpac NZ with two decades of experience in software engineering and technical leadership across various industries and countries.Vella has returned to an engineering role after a period in management and is also a part-time Master's student at the University of Auckland, researching the impact of AI on software engineering.

When beloved Florida State law professor Dan Markel was gunned down in his driveway in 2014, it shocked the academic world and ignited a years-long search for justice. But what first appeared to be a random act of violence soon unraveled into something far more sinister—a murder-for-hire plot tied to his bitter custody battle and his ex-wife's powerful family, the Adelsons.In this episode, Kat dives deep into the tangled web of suspects, shady phone calls, and suspicious payments that ultimately led to a courtroom showdown no one saw coming. Who ordered the hit? How far would a family go to “solve” a custody dispute? And will everyone involved ever be held accountable?This is a story of privilege, power, and premeditation. Get ready for a wild ride, y'all! This Florida tale has it all! REFERENCES:https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/over-my-dead-body/id1447892344https://www.nbcnews.com/dateline/in-the-news/watch-dateline-episode-family-matters-now-rcna135230https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UUnddHruLpshttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dan_Markelhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zsNS2AlB27s&t=20shttps://www.courttv.com/tag/dan-markel/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lNh9zSqBfPA&t=3955shttps://youtu.be/zsNS2AlB27s?si=u8KsTRkVMgsLKytShttps://www.tallahassee.com/story/news/local/2023/11/07/dan-markel-murder-hire-charlie-adelson-guilty-tallahassee-florida-conspiracy/71487731007/https://www.tallahassee.com/story/news/local/2025/05/07/judge-sets-new-date-for-donna-adelson-murder-trial-in-dan-markel-killing/83470544007/https://www.tallahassee.com/story/news/local/2025/04/04/man-suing-sean-diddy-combs-claims-case-linked-to-dan-markel-hitman-sigfredo-garcia-donna-adelson/82846534007/https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLfpMTwOmhB5kO1elWLLjRvjGhWEklWCOUhttps://people.com/where-is-wendi-adelson-now-11679401https://www.tallahassee.com/story/news/2024/09/13/dan-markel-murder-legal-analysis-ahead-of-donna-adelson-trial/75188649007/https://www.courttv.com/news/new-wiretaps-allegations-of-plots-to-harm-in-adelson-murder-case/https://www.reddit.com/r/dan_markel_murder/comments/17tdczk/very_detailed_circumstantial_evidence_against/https://www.reddit.com/r/dan_markel_murder/comments/1fwhfez/will_wendi_adelson_be_charged_the_murder_of_dan/Please like, follow, and share this podcast - we're on all of the platforms!

It's a powerful nudge from beyond to shine light on what's hidden and to offer support where it's desperately needed.This moving reading is a testament to how spirit communication provides clarity, emotional healing, and guidance—especially in times of confusion and family transition.✨ Tune in for transformative spiritual insights, a reminder that love continues after death, and how our loved ones in spirit are always watching over us—ready to guide, protect, and inspire hope.

The podcast, now supported by the United Way of the Greater Lehigh Valley, features candid conversations with students, educators, and community leaders—tackling mental health from every angle. Watch Episode www.youtube.com/watch?v=8_jnDkzH1Yw www.lvwithlove.com Thank you to our Partners! WDIY Lehigh Valley Health Network Wind Creek Event Center Michael Bernadyn of RE/MAX Real Estate Molly’s Irish Grille & Sports Pub Banko Beverage Company Episode Recap Teen Voices, Real Conversations: Inside YANA LV on WDIY “You are not alone.” It's more than a title—it's the foundation of YANA LV, the student-led mental health show created by Moravian Academy seniors Brannagh Breslin and Diya Sharma. Their journey began in the summer before junior year with a few iPhone recordings and an idea. “We decided to start this podcast because we both had interest in mental health,” Diya says. “Our stories individually were so different, but they overlapped with the idea of mental health and giving it to a bigger audience.” Mental Health Is Personal The show is rooted in lived experience. “For example, if a girl is smiling to the world, happy, seems like the most bubbly person in the world—it's not true,” Diya says. “She might be dealing with the most deepest things herself, and she's afraid to tell other people.” “And that's another reason we started this podcast,” she adds. “Because the idea of You Are Not Alone means that we're a community, and we're going to support one another.” From Voice Memos to Broadcast Airwaves At first, the show was as DIY as it gets. “We would just record on our phones,” Diya recalls. “Obviously it’s not as great editing as we have here at the studio, but it was a start.” They cold-emailed professors and local figures to ask about everything from ADHD to the psychological impact of injury and trauma. “Sometimes we would have to send five emails to five different people just to get one episode,” Brannagh says. Eventually, with encouragement from a teacher and a few inspiring guests, they were connected with WDIY's Youth Media Program. “I brought my dad into the studio,” Brannagh says. “I was so excited about it. It feels so professional.” Standout Guests, Lasting Impact Two moments stood out from their time on the show. “David Robertson… he came on to talk about Joshua Tree,” Brannagh says. “It's for his little brother, who unfortunately passed away due to addiction… and he turned it into such a positive thing.” Their very first WDIY episode also left a mark. “His name is Herman,” Diya says. “He's an anesthesiologist and he has a prosthetic leg. The way he spoke and the things that he said were very inspirational.” What They've Learned “Even though situations aren't exactly the same,” Brannagh says, “we're still bringing attention to talking about the things that we go through.” Diya adds: “Everyone has physical health—and I think everyone has mental health, whether they recognize it or not. I think just normalizing that and talking about it is the first big step.” What's Next? Brannagh is heading to NYU to study liberal studies and political science or psychology before law school. Diya will attend UVA to study biology and pursue a career in medicine. But they're not finished with YANA LV. “Obviously, we can't come here and record at the studio,” Brannagh says, “but we'll keep YANA alive.” Follow LVwithLOVE on Substack

Send us a textGrief touches us all, yet we rarely understand its full complexity until we drown in it. Beyond the passing of loved ones, grief emerges when we lose jobs, places, relationships, and even versions of ourselves we've outgrown. When was the last time you allowed yourself to fully feel a loss instead of pushing forward?In this deeply personal episode, I share my journey of avoiding grief for decades and the surprising breakthrough that came in my fifties. After rushing past denial, anger, bargaining, and depression to reach acceptance throughout my life, my brother's passing changed everything. For the first time, I allowed myself to experience the full weight of loss without shutting down. This newfound emotional connection transformed not just how I processed his death but how I experienced a later move from Guam—marking the first time I genuinely missed a place I'd left behind.The truth about grief is stunningly simple yet profoundly difficult to embrace: we are all born sensitive beings meant to experience the full spectrum of human emotion. When we shut down grief, we also inadvertently close ourselves to joy. Through practical approaches like writing memory-focused letters, seeking professional support, and practicing presence within each stage of grief, we can honor our losses while still finding moments of light.Whether you're personally navigating grief or supporting someone through it, remember that grief follows no timeline. Loneliness often hits hardest about six weeks after loss, when most support has faded. Your presence then—a simple "how can I help?" rather than "let me know if you need anything"—could be exactly what someone needs to feel less alone in their ocean of grief.Ready to bring more mindfulness to your grief process?
