Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely.” This famous quote, attributed to Lord Acton, could just as easily serve as the thesis statement for the sophomore season of Amazon's streaming hit, The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power. Further exploring the Second Age of Middle-earth, the allure and peril of unchecked power and untempered ambition become inevitable thematic focal points this season, as the series inches us closer to Tolkien's legendary trilogy.One of the most compelling aspects of the most recent season is its focus on the power of suggestion and manipulation. Sauron is a master of deceit, poised to play perhaps the most important role in shaping the fate of Middle-earth. His ability to influence the hearts and minds of even the wisest and most powerful among the Elves, such as Galadriel, was showcased in the first season. If one can look past the compressed timeline and slight alterations to Tolkien's established mythology for the sake of adaptation, the cultural apologist can find in this most recent season of The Rings of Power a valuable tool for engaging in meaningful conversations about faith.This Postmodern Realities episode is a conversation with JOURNAL author Cole Burgett about his online article entitled, "The Subtle Art of Corruption in the Sophomore Season of The Rings of Power".

This Postmodern Realities episode is a conversation with JOURNAL author Lindsey Madenwaldt about her online article entitled, “Strange Happenings in Utah: The Phenomenon of Skinwalker Ranch”. Coming Soon!There's a place in Arizona near the New Mexico border where legends have shifted to today's stories of paranormal phenomena. Skinwalker Ranch, a plot of 512 acres on the southern edge of Navajo nation, has had reports of strange happenings since the 1600s: cattle mutilations, unidentified orbs of light disappearing into rock formations or lakes, and the appearance of large wolf-like creatures, just to name a few. What's happening at Skinwalker Ranch? That's the topic of the History Channel's popular show The Secret of Skinwalker Ranch, a show that is framed much like its sister show on History, Ancient Aliens.How can Christians interact with others about shows like Skinwalker Ranch? What happens if the ranch's researchers discover something truly life-changing, such as an extraterrestrial being or evidence of one, like a rocket or spaceship?Other podcasts and articles of interest by this author: Episode 409 When Physical Therapy Gets Spiritual: Should Christians Avoid Holistic and Alternative Medicine? “When Physical Therapy Gets Spiritual: Should Christians Avoid Holistic and Alternative Medicine?”Episode 390 Enhancing Your Energy the New Age Way: Understanding Auras, Chakras, and QiEnhancing Your Energy the New Age Way: Understanding Auras, Chakras, and QiEpisode 346 ‘Ancient Aliens,' Pyramids, and the Great Sphinx of Giza: Testing the Television Show's Claims with Truth‘Ancient Aliens,' Pyramids, and the Great Sphinx of Giza: Testing the Television Show's Claims with TruthEpisode 328: Ancient Aliens and the Bible: What the Popular Television Series Says about Extraterrestrials in ScriptureAncient Aliens and the Bible: What the Popular Television Series Says about Extraterrestrials in ScriptureEpisode 287 Corey Goode: Time-Traveling Secret Space Program WhistleblowerCorey Goode: Time-Traveling Secret Space Program WhistleblowerEpisode 219: Humanity's Ascension: Assessing the History Channel's New Age, Time Travel Guru David Wilcock“Humanity's Ascension: Assessing the History Channel's New Age, Time Travel Guru David Wilcock.”

This Postmodern Realities episode is a conversation with JOURNAL author Anne Kennedy about her online article, which is part of her ongoing Column Series, Theological Trends , entitled “Blessings and Liberty: The Politics and Religion of David French”. This particular article is also a Viewpoint article. Viewpoint articles address relevant contemporary issues in discernment and apologetics from a particular perspective that is usually not shared by all Christians, with the intended result that Christians' thinking on that issue will be stimulated and enhanced (whether or not people end up agreeing with the author's opinion). https://www.equip.org/articles/blessings-and-liberty-the-politics-and-religion-of-david-french/Editors' Note: Although the Christian Research Institute is a non-political, non-partisan organization, an intersection exists between politics, the public square, and a biblically grounded articulation and defense of the historic Christian faith. For more than 45 years, the CHRISTIAN RESEARCH JOURNAL has addressed a wide variety of issues within this intersection, especially concerning Christian ethics informed by Christian orthodoxy, including the sanctity of life (abortion, reproductive technologies, euthanasia), marriage, sexuality, LGBTQ matters, war, religious freedom, and other biblically relevant topics of our times. Anne Kennedy's insightful commentary on the writings and influence of the evangelical political commentator David French aligns well within the JOURNAL'S purview.Related podcasts and articles mentioned: Episode 394 Marketing An “Almost” Jesus—Evaluating The “He Gets Us” CampaignMarketing An “Almost” Jesus—Evaluating The “He Gets Us” CampaignAudio Version of Christian Research Journals Reads Episode 33 Marketing An “Almost” Jesus—Evaluating The “He Gets Us” CampaignOther recent articles and podcasts by this author:Episode 374 Did Pope Francis Authorize Priests to Bless Same-Sex Couples?Did Pope Francis Authorize Priests to Bless Same-Sex Couples?Episode 386 Can a Christian Attend a Gay Wedding?
