One of the other things I listen to is a series of Jewish teachings. I figure Jesus was Jewish, so I would like to learn more about his faith. I go to Passover with friends yearly, and respect their traditions.
I listened to Rabbi Jacobson in an interview a couple of weeks ago and now receive his newsletter. This week, he wrote a very good article on when things go badly. He discusses Jacob's story about how he was almost killed by his brothers who sold him into slavery. Rabbi Jacobson's outlook is wonderful and helps to put these times into perspective.
He started with a series of questions:
Do you think you know where your life is headed?
Do you feel that your losses and disappointments in life give you good reason to be resigned?
Do you feel that the hurt in your life has dampened (or killed) your trust and hope in a brighter future?
Do you feel your childhood scars have left you for damaged goods?
Does fear and insecurity drive many of your decisions?
Do you feel that you will never find true love in your life?
I encourage you to read the article. It can help change your perspective if you answered yes to several of these questions.
