The Soul Podcast – Navigating the Human Journey

What Good Can I Do Here? A True Story of Land, Legacy, and Spiritual Emergence.

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/1765925/fan_mail/new] One 72-year-old man quietly asked, “What good can I do here while I’m still on this earth?” — then donated nearly 900 acres of family land to the Kalispel Tribe instead of selling to developers. This episode explores Gary Verbrugge’s inspiring act of stewardship as a living example of spiritual emergence. Opening with Desmond Tutu’s wisdom and the Native proverb “We do not inherit the earth from our ancestors; we borrow it from our children,” it invites you to reflect on your own daily choices and the quiet legacy you’re creating. Little bits of good really can change everything. SHOW NOTES  Quotes: “Do your little bit of good where you are; it’s those little bits of good put together that overwhelm the world.” -Desmond Tutu.

One can argue—with only varying degrees of success, though—that private faith can exist independent of its cultural surround. When, however, two or three faith-filled believers come together, a religion—possibly more of a nascent or proto-religion—is formed." -Phyllis Tickle Music Attribution: In this episode I used Vlad-Gluschenko-Stars-Extended No. 3 by The Denotes | https://thedenotes.bandcamp.com  Music promoted by https://www.free-stock-music.com  Creative Commons / Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported (CC BY-SA 3.0)  https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/deed.en_US * I use affiliate links.

The Great Return -A Spiritual Awakening DOUBLE Episode

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/1765925/fan_mail/new] In this episode I explore “The Great Return” — the quiet but powerful shift happening in our culture as the long decline in organized religion levels off and, in some places, begins to reverse.  I look at why Gen Y, Gen Z, and especially young men are showing up again, how spirituality and religion are starting to walk hand-in-hand, and what role recent events and our deep human hunger for meaning and community are playing in this change.  I share why this matters, what it says about our spiritual longing, and why it gives me hope for the future.  The episode closes with an encore presentation of my two-part series, The Spiritual Revolution.   SHOW NOTES Quotes: “Life is never made unbearable by circumstances, but only by lack of meaning and purpose.” -Viktor Frankl.

BONUS - Guest Episode -The Story In My Head - Timing

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/1765925/fan_mail/new] Ever judged how long it takes you to heal, grieve, change? Me too! And now I want to stop. Here's a quickie about embracing your natural pace. The Story In My Head -Show Description The Story in My Head is a podcast about healing, self-improvement and self-care for the lazy. It's a raw and meandering journey through the stories in my head that create fear, plant obstacles and disable me from living the life I want. This is NOT your average self-help podcast. It is not polished and refined and presented as a recipe for healthy living. Rather its an honest sharing of the stories that feed my dark spaces, the consequences of my storytelling, and the ways I'm working to re-write the narrative. I think most of us tell stories in our heads that we fear will be judged if we share. I want to explore the stories that make us uncomfortable including ones about depression, anxiety, conflict, self-esteem, sex, relationships, death, addiction, parenting, adulting. This list goes on and on. These are the issues I struggle with and I don't think I'm alone, yet most people don't want to talk about them. WTF? The Story in My Head podcast, hosted by me...Amy. Where my guests and I talk honestly about things that make us uncomfortable. We will share our stories, our experiences and the nuggets we gather along the way. You might laugh a little. You may cry a little. I suspect you will be able to relate. Nonetheless, it will be shameless entertainment.
