What's Arising? Richard Schultz - ElevateLife.ca Einstein said, “We cannot solve problems at the same level of thinking that we were at when we created those problems.” In this podcast, we explore what’s arising in our world, and practice opening our hearts and minds to breakthrough insights for navigating and thriving in these times. With increasing polarization, social unrest, misinformation, surveillance, censorship, pandemics, war, climate change, etc., higher order thinking and deeper insight is critical. We'll shine light into the shadows of our times and notice new possibilities arising. The I Project Immersioneer With the arrival of smartphones and social media, we were told that the world was becoming more connected. But as mental health declines while our digital addictions grow, it's clear that something human has been lost in the shuffle. On The I Project, we dive into the roots of this disconnection and explore new ways of thinking, seeing, and being. The I Project is the podcast of Immersioneer, a sense-making community focused on deepening human dialogue in the digital age. The podcast is hosted by founder Clancey Hilkene. Now What? by Good News Church Good News Church Welcome to Now What?, the podcast where Sunday’s sermon turns into a Monday conversation. Think of it like hanging with friends who love to laugh, learn, and ask our pastors the questions you were already thinking (and a few they probably wish we wouldn’t). Each week, we explore Scripture, wrestle with real-life faith, and figure out what following Jesus looks like right now, right where we live. Real talk. Honest moments. Practical steps for following Jesus in everyday life. - WordOnTheCurb Annette Lartigue You might not hear it here first but the conversation here is different because it includes YOU. Politics, diversity, religion, social justice and “what the hell were you thinking?” moments. Thought provoking, inspirational and sometimes shocking. Welcome to the winner's circle. We're pulling up open the gate. Annette Lartigue is here!
