Showing results for "the broken" in Spirituality

In the more than 25 years since she co-founded Omega Institute - now the world's largest center for spiritual retreat and personal growth - Elizabeth Lesser has been an intimate witness to the ways in which people weather change and transition. In a beautifully crafted blend of moving stories, humorous insights, practical guidance, and personal memoir, she offers tools to help us make the choice we all face in times of challenge: Will we be broken down and defeated, or broken open and transformed?

In 1979, a fiery preacher named Jane Whaley attracted a small group of followers with a promise that she could turn their lives around. In the years since, Whaley’s following has expanded to include thousands of congregants across three continents. Based on hundreds of interviews, secretly recorded conversations, and thousands of pages of documents, Pulitzer Prize winner Mitch Weiss and Holbrook Mohr’s Broken Faith is a terrifying portrait life inside the Word of Faith Fellowship, and the harrowing account of one family who escaped after two decades.

Saints are not unattainable beings of stained glass or carved stone. “Saints are ordinary and human, doing things any person can learn to do,” teaches Lama Rod Owens. “Our era calls for saints who are from this time and place, who speak the language of this moment, and who integrate both social and spiritual liberation. I believe we all can and must become New Saints.” With The New Saints, Lama Rod shares a guidebook for becoming an effective agent of justice, peace, and change.

Forty, chronically single, and up an extra 20 pounds, TV news producer Stephanie Krikorian fell victim to the Great Recession, finding herself suddenly unemployed. One unwanted pregnancy away from being a Lifetime Original Movie, Stephanie had to reinvent herself...and fast. So, to keep her head above water, she started ghostwriting self-help and diet books for a variety of well-known experts. However, she didn't just write each book she took on, she lived it - chanting, journaling, reflecting, reframing - whatever it took to get deep into the heart of each project.

We each create so much unnecessary suffering for ourselves. We may not be able to prevent the feeling, but we do have the power to control our reaction to it. We will all experience heartbreak at some point in our lives. People leave when we want them to stay. We feel rejected, abandoned. Broken Hearted is a practical guide to help you better understand your emotions and to take that first step to a more aware and abundant life. This isn’t an audiobook only for those following the path of Buddhism, but rather one for the spiritually inclined. 

Let's be honest: the life you're leading isn't the one you've always dreamt of. And maybe the person you've become isn't who you imagined you'd be. Sure, you can work longer, love harder, and eat better. You can scrub the surface of your life until it gleams. But that won't address the fact that you've somehow lost sight of who you really are. Working from the core message of Ephesians 1:11, Jo Saxton implores women to reject mistaken identities. Relying on personal stories from her own life, she identifies key scenarios where identities develop that are not true to God's vision, demonstrating the importance of knowing one's name, embracing the gifts you've been given, confronting body issues, managing seasons of depression and grief, and letting go of perfectionism.

Amber Haines is a woman haunted by God. Like Eve in the Garden, she craved the fruit that she thought would lead her to freedom. But the whispers of temptation led her instead down a devastating path toward isolation, dissatisfaction, and life-altering choices. In her most broken moment, Amber met God waiting for her in the fallout, freely offering her grace and life. This is a story of the God who makes himself known in broken places.

Rock princess Lacey Sturm wants to share her journey from heartbreak to wholeness with young women. In The Mystery, Sturm helps listeners understand that any loving relationship begins with knowing your own identity in Christ. And yet, so many people have learned to define love through their own dysfunctional family, unhealthy relationships, the romances and wrecked relationships of mainstream pop culture, or, sadly, through pornography. Is it any wonder so many people end up brokenhearted, divorced, abused, abusive, or even suicidal?

It is so easy to punish our current self for things that happened in the past. But in doing so, we ruin our chances of future happiness. It's what Oprah Winfrey likes to say, "There is nothing cute about baggage. Deal with your issues before pursuing a new relationship." Studies have shown 59.2 percent of all people who divorce experience some symptoms of depression. All too often, people mentally beat themselves up for past mistakes or for being a victim of a partner's toxic behavior.

We cover a multitude of topics concerning who God is and how believers can walk with Christ efficiently. The foundation of our topics stems from the recognition that we are all broken and in need of the only one who can make us whole, our Savior and Lord Jesus Christ.Our inspiration comes from Psalm 51:17"The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit; a broken and contrite heart, O God, you will not despise."And Psalm 34:18"The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves the crushed in spirit."

We're Hannah and Ally, and our goal is to simply be real. No cookie cutter or sugar coated conversations - just people experiencing life in the now and talking about topics as we face them in our own lives. We have no shame in saying the things that most people won't say. There will be fun times, authentic conversations, and even some interviews. Oh and of course, pop culture talk too! Our heart is to create a space free of judgement and full of grace. Because after all, everyone is broken.

This is a podcast from a broken pastor. I am a follower of Jesus Christ but I’m not sure I know what a Christian is anymore, at least not with the current Western definition of the word. The American church has become overrun with people who would weaponize the word of God for their own political or social machinations. I no longer see a hospital for the broken in the American church, I see a country club for people who think alike. Jesus was a maverick who thought outside the boundaries of social norms during His time. There are too many black-and-white decisions being made by churches in ...
