Groundbreaking Peabody Award-winning conversation about the big questions of meaning, hosted by Krista Tippett. Every Thursday a new discovery about the immensity of our lives — and frequent special features like poetry, music and Q + A with Krista.

On Being

Absorption as a definition of happiness. "To bring that calm into the motion, the commotion of the world." Traveling not in order to move around but in order to be moved. His friend Leonard Cohen. Stillness & silence as a recharging station for the soul.

Pico Iyer is one of our most eloquent explorers of what he calls the "inner world" — in himself and in the 21st century world at large. The journalist and novelist travels the globe from Ethiopia to North Korea and lives in Japan. But he also experiences a remote Benedictine hermitage as his second home, retreating there many times each year. In this intimate conversation, we explore the discoveries he's making and his practice of "the art of stillness."

Pico Iyer is a journalist and writer. He's written over a dozen books including "The Global Soul: Jet Lag, Shopping Malls, and the Search for Home," "The Open Road: The Global Journey of the Fourteenth Dalai Lama," and "The Art of Stillness: Adventures in Going Nowhere." He has two books on Japan upcoming in 2019: "Autumn Light" and "A Beginner’s Guide to Japan."

Pico Iyer — The Urgency of Slowing Down

New & hot: Religion & Spirituality

The Melody of Heaven

God's Kingdom in Hearts, Homes and Beyond | Louis Kotze

Michael opened with recalling the passing of one of our family members, FE and encouraged Karen to be strong in the Lord.
The intent of the heart is the person.  After the flesh, the people are free...they have finished their race.
Everyone in your life is purposed.
When your world is upside down, you become the person you are meant to be.
Anything that hinders you from Christ will be removed.

11 26 2018  Morning Chat  - DEATH HAS NO STING

<p>Men are hardwired to want to make their wives happy.&nbsp; We genuinely are happier when our wives are happy.&nbsp; And we are miserable when our wives cry.&nbsp; The problem is that most of us men are pretty clueless as to how to make wives happy. &nbsp;And what makes it even harder is that wives never want to tell husbands how to make them happy.&nbsp; While not disparaging gifts, remembering important dates, and breakfast in bed, in this show we explore the other really important things that make wives happy. &nbsp;For maximum happiness, a newly married man should strive every day to be worthy of his wife&rsquo;s admiration.&nbsp; When can he finally relax and just be himself?&nbsp; When he dies!&nbsp; How building a beautiful bridge resembles building a beautiful marriage&mdash;and how it differs.&nbsp; A man&rsquo;s body will always follow the logic of his deepest convictions; he will be attracted to the woman who reflects his noblest vision of himself.&nbsp;</p>

On Being with Krista Tippett

[Unedited] Pico Iyer with Krista Tippett

Offenses will come...mistrust that leading to violent behavior.
Weather is keeping pace with man's behavior.
The spirit God gave you can overcome all flesh.
God sent His son for Salvation...it is a process and does not happen instantly.  Some fall away.  You designate or deny if Jesus is your Savior.
Something you cannot see is responsible for anger.  We are sent coordinated attacks by the enemy.
In what place of your life is God's order missing?
Michael encourages us to seek to be healed in our souls.
LUKE 4:31 and on

God's Holy Order in your life is upmost.
Search out any area of your life where God's light is absent.
Darkness is located where you do not submit to Christ.
Worldly Psychology mixed with beliefs is dark.  What is not holy is of the world.
It is a hybrid gospel.
Put everything in context when reading the Word of God...Read the whole book...then the special passages.
Fully adopt the sayings of the Lord.  Be Transformed by the renewing of your mind.
Something is speaking to you right now reminding you of your past...of those who "owe" you...an eye for an eye is the old man.  This is an open door.
You are a light in a dark place, to penetrate the darkness and shine.
Every trial you go thru exposes the open doors we have...look within to see where God's righteousness is not.
John 8 - the origins of our desires.
We end up doing the will of our father...who ever that is.  Plug in all the way to the Father.

<p>By far, the majority of people around you understand money as well as they understand magnetic resonance imaging. Which is to say, not much! As a not-very-successful fisherman in the cool, deep waters of British Columbia, I learned that you can&rsquo;t possibly put salmon on your grill without understanding salmon. Similarly, you can&rsquo;t put money in your bank without understanding money. And putting money in your bank is important. In 1925, President Calvin Coolidge said, &ldquo;The chief business of the American people is business. They are profoundly concerned with producing, buying, selling, investing and prospering in the world.&rdquo; Isn&rsquo;t that true for you? The spiritual nature of money and why the week should be five days long but isn&rsquo;t. Why secular fundamentalists equate economic prosperity with moral depravity. Why atheists usually see profit as plunder. Why no atheistic society has ever created a vibrant economy. How this can help you in your work.</p>

Ep. 48 | Making Money Means Mastering Money: Here’s How

Learn how to prepare for the coming changes and the fulfillment of Bible 
prophecies as Michael touches on certain issues involving; self examination, how to receive your healing,  deliverance, and the importance that trust plays in your relationship with God.
Learn your purpose for being here and why the way you live your life is so important. 
Michael also covers  some do's and don't s that will be helpful in the race we must all run, plus much more....
Recognizing the time you are in. Your natural capacity. The Falling Away.
Examine the reason for your good deeds. 
Your identity. Prepare to receive.
The world wants proof, but God wants Faith.

Darnell Moore says honest, uncomfortable conversations are a sign of love — and that self-reflection goes hand-in-hand with culture shift and social evolution. A writer and activist, he’s grown wise through his work on successful and less successful civic initiatives, including Mark Zuckerberg’s plan to remake the schools of Newark, New Jersey, and he is a key figure in the ongoing, under-publicized, creative story of The Movement for Black Lives. This conversation was recorded at the 2019 Skoll World Forum in Oxford, England.

Darnell Moore is the U.S. head of strategy and programs at Breakthrough, a global human rights organization. He is a civic media fellow at the University of Southern California’s Annenberg Innovation Lab and a writer-in-residence at Columbia University’s Center on African-American Religion, Sexual Politics, and Social Justice. His book is “No Ashes in the Fire: Coming of Age Black and Free in America.”

Darnell Moore — Self - Reflection And Social Evolution

Spiritual border-crossing and social creativity were themes in a conversation between Shane Claiborne and Omar Saif Ghobash, two people who have lived with some discomfort within the religious groups they continue to love. Ghobash is a diplomat of the United Arab Emirates and author of Letters to a Young Muslim. One of his responses to the politicization of Islam has been to bring a new art gallery culture to Dubai, creating spaces for thought and beauty. Claiborne is a singular figure in Evangelical Christianity as co-founder of The Simple Way, an intentional neighborhood-based community in North Philadelphia. One of the things he’s doing now is a restorative justice project inspired by a Bible passage — to transform guns into garden tools. This conversation took place at the invitation of Interfaith Philadelphia, which hosted a year of civil conversations modeled after the work of On Being’s Civil Conversations Project.

Shane Claiborne is the founder of The Simple Way, an intentional community in North Philadelphia. He’s recently written a book, Beating Guns, about the movement he co-leads to transform America’s guns into garden tools. His other books include The Irresistible Revolution.

His Excellency Omar Saif Ghobash is now the assistant minister for cultural affairs in the Cabinet of the United Arab Emirates. He was formerly UAE ambassador to France and Russia. His book is Letters to a Young Muslim.

Shane Claiborne and Omar Saif Ghobash — Called and Conflicted

Ta-Nehisi Coates says we must love our country the way we love our friends — and not spare the hard truths. “Can you get to a place where citizens are encouraged to see themselves critically, where they’re encouraged to see their history critically?” he asks. Coates is a poetic journalist and a defining voice of our times. He’s with us in a conversation that is joyful, hard, kind, soaring, and down-to-earth all at once. He spoke with Krista as part of the 2017 Chicago Humanities Festival.

Ta-Nehisi Coates is a distinguished writer in residence at New York University’s Arthur L. Carter Journalism Institute. His books include “Between the World and Me,” “We Were Eight Years in Power: An American Tragedy,” and the novel “The Water Dancer.” He’s also the current writer of the Marvel comics “The Black Panther” and “Captain America.”

Ta-Nehisi Coates — Imagining a New America

James Baldwin said, “American history is longer, larger, more various, more beautiful, and more terrible than anything anyone has ever said about it.” Imani Perry embodies that prism. For the past few years, Perry has been pondering the notions of slow work and resistant joy as she writes about what it means to raise her two black sons — as a thinker and writer at the intersection of law, race, culture, and literature. This live conversation was recorded at the Chautauqua Institution.

Imani Perry - More Beautiful

Lennon Flowers and Rev. Jennifer Bailey embody a particular wisdom of millennials around grief, loss, and faith. Together they created The People’s Supper, which uses shared meals to build trust and connection among people of different identities and perspectives. Since 2017, they have hosted more than 1,500 meals. In the words they use, the practices they cultivate (some of which we’ve collected on onbeing.org), and the way they think, Flowers and Bailey issue an invitation not to safe space, but to brave space. 

Rev. Jennifer Bailey is co-founder of The People’s Supper and the founder and executive director of Faith Matters Network. She is also an ordained itinerant elder in the African Methodist Episcopal Church, and her writing appears regularly in publications including “Sojourners” and The Huffington Post. 

Lennon Flowers is co-founder of The People’s Supper and the co-founder and executive director of The Dinner Party. She is also an Ashoka Fellow and an Aspen Ideas Scholar. She has written for CNN, “YES!,” “Forbes,” Open Democracy, EdWeek, and “Fast Company.”
