Exodus presents us with the first head-to-head showdown between an oppressive empire and God's people. Stopping Pharaoh and the evil forces behind him is hard, hardening, and costly. “There was blood everywhere.” This brutal confrontation culminates in Israel's birth, which also gives birth to “redemption,” “salvation,” and “Passover” – themes that find their fulfillment in Jesus.

Why This Episode Is a Must-Watch Winston Churchill once said, "We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give." Have you ever pondered the true impact of philanthropy and how you can make a difference beyond monetary donations? Whether you are a seasoned philanthropist or just starting to explore the power of giving, this episode of Inspired Money is essential viewing. Learn from top experts on how to give smarter, more meaningfully, and create a significant impact through collective and strategic philanthropy. Meet the Expert Panelists Sara Lomelin is the founding CEO of Philanthropy Together, where she'ss growing a global movement of collective giving to resource grassroots nonprofits, shift power dynamics, and diversify philanthropy. A philanthropy disruptor and expert in collective giving, Sara frequently speaks at high-profile events like TED and Netroots Nation, sharing her vision for democratizing philanthropy and empowering everyone to become a philanthropist. Dr. Akhtar Badshah is the founder of Catalytic Innovators Group and former head of Microsoft's global philanthropic efforts, where he oversaw community investments and employee contributions for over a decade. Currently a Distinguished Practitioner at the University of Washington, Dr. Badshah is the author of Purpose Mindset: How Microsoft Inspires Employees and Alumni to Change the World and a leading voice in leveraging corporate and philanthropic resources for global social impact. Emily Rasmussen is the founder and CEO of Grapevine , the leading platform for giving circles, which empowers donors to pool resources and create greater impact together, helping to democratize and diversify philanthropy. With a background in social entrepreneurship and nonprofit strategy, Emily has pioneered innovative fundraising models, previously serving as the founding Executive Director of New York University's Center for Ballet and the Arts and leading initiatives at Lincoln Center and Enterprise Solutions to Poverty. Richard Marker is the faculty co-director for executive education programs at the Center for High Impact Philanthropy and a philanthropy advisor with Wise Philanthropy™, where he guides foundations and individual philanthropists on strategic decision-making. With decades of experience, Marker has served as CEO of a major foundation, taught globally, and coined the term "philanthro-ethics" to address ethical considerations in philanthropy. Key Highlights 1. The Power of Collective Giving Emily Rasmussen of Grapevine emphasized how giving circles can pool resources to create a significant impact. "Collaborative funds not only increase the amount of money donated, but they also direct funds to underfunded grassroots organizations," stated Emily. This democratizes philanthropy and ensures a diversified funding landscape for meaningful change. 2. Trust-Based Philanthropy Dr. Akhtar Badshah passionately argued the need to move beyond traditional giving. "We need to rethink how we want young people to feel part of the community and show up with purpose," said Akhtar. He believes in rebuilding trust and focusing on showing up as part of the community beyond just financial contributions. 3. Transparent and Ethical Giving Richard Marker's insights into ethical philanthropy revolved around transparency and the ethical use of power. "If a grantee can say no to a funder, that means there's a level of trust that can move the discussion along," remarked Richard. This underlines the importance of maintaining transparency and balancing the power dynamics in philanthropic relationships. 4. Leveraging Technology Sara Lomelin and Emily Rasmussen both highlighted the transformative role of technology. From facilitating remote giving circles to equalizing access to information, tech enables broader participation and efficient, impactful giving. During the COVID-19 pandemic, platforms like Grapevine and Zoom ensured continuous support to nonprofits when they needed it the most. Call-to-Action Inspired by this discussion? Take a step towards purposeful philanthropy today. Find one step you can take to give more intentionally this week. Maybe it's joining a giving circle (check out Grapevine if you're curious!) or pooling resources with friends to support a local nonprofit. Or, simply take some time to reflect on the causes that matter most to you and make a donation—no matter the size. Small steps add up to big change, especially when we give together.

Reza Akhtar was raised Muslim in Canada, but was not particularly observant. At a private elementary school, he became exposed to basic Protestant Christianity, but it was in college that he began to explore it more deeply. He married a Catholic, but wasn't quite ready to make the full leap into the Church, so he spent a few years in an Anglican congregation, before he felt God calling him home to a full sacramental life as a Catholic.

The Bible calls Jesus “Prince of Peace” in ... well, it doesn't. That title comes from a message of hope and restoration from the prophet Isaiah centuries before Jesus' birth. While we can't not see Jesus in that passage, people in Jesus' day struggled to see how it could be about Jesus of Nazareth. This second Sunday of Advent we unpack this title we ascribe to Jesus and explore the ways in which Jesus' life seemed to bring anything but peace to his friends and enemies.

MANCHESTER UNITED host CHELSEA in a vintage Barclays encounter that happens to be the first Premier League match since Erik ten Hag's dismissal as United manager. The Dutchman is the latest casualty of the club's disorder and decline since Sir Alex Ferguson's departure a decade ago, but how much is down to his poor decision-making? How much is down to the players? And will the new ownership and football executive structure be the platform new manager Rúben Amorim needs to change the plot? Of course, Chelsea have been a bit nutty too over the last few years, but they might just be getting it together under their own new boss, Enzo Maresca. Are the Blues from West London a bit of a model for United as they try to get back on track? Joining us to answer that—and try to digest the madness of this week and the last few years—is journalist and United fan Usmaan Akhtar. We also took a minute to reminisce about the glory days of this rivalry, when these two English heavyweights were battling at the top of the European game.If you're enjoying The Football Weekend, please give us a rating and leave a review!

We all know the joy of being forgiven when we've wronged someone. We're also aware of our hypocrisy when we're stingy with offering that same forgiveness to others. Or are we even aware of it? The Parable of the Unforgiving Servant reveals the ways our senses of superiority blind us from being able to see the ways our lack of forgiveness brings death to those around us.

Shoaib Akhtar was renowned as a fast bowler in the sport of cricket, distinguished by his exceptional velocity and ability to generate swing. His remarkable skills on the field often resulted in significant challenges for opposing batsmen, leading to their downfall and contributing to his reputation as one of the most formidable bowlers in the game..

When John the Baptist announces the launch of his cousin Jesus' ministry, he introduces Jesus as, “the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world!” How does that work? In what way does Jesus being ‘God's lamb' translate into forgiveness of our sins? From the beginning, the Church has embraced the joys and pains that come from grappling with that question, the navigation of our “theories of atonement”, which often say more about our own sense of justice than God's.

Shahmima Akhtar is a historian of race, migration and empire and an assistant professor of Black and Asian British History at the University of Birmingham. She previously worked at the Royal Historical Society to improve BME representation in UK History, whether working with schools and the curriculum, cultural institutions, community groups or other learned societies. Dr. Akhtar has also worked closely with museums and heritage sites as a researcher and consultant on shaping histories of the British Empire for today's populace. In this interview, she discusses her new book, Exhibiting Irishness: Empire, Race and Nation, c. 1850-1970 (Manchester UP, 2024), which studies differing visions of Irish racial identities as displayed at various international fairs and expos. Exhibiting Irishness analyses how exhibitions enabled Irish individuals and groups to work out (privately and publicly) their politicised existences across two centuries. As a cultural history of Irish identity, the book considers exhibitions as a formative platform for imagining a host of Irish pasts, presents and futures. Fair organisers responded to the contexts of famine and poverty, migration and diasporic settlement, independence movements and partition, as well as post-colonial nation building. Exhibiting Irishness demonstrates how Irish businesses and labourers, the elite organisers of the fairs and successive Irish governments curated Irishness.

My conversation with Sudhir Kakar took place five weeks before his untimely death on April 22nd.  “Freud obviously is very brave and courageous to accept that the world is inadequate and that my desires will never be sufficiently fulfilled. My question - is this in fact the case? I think that everyone has had some kind of spiritual experience, some more than others and in many different contexts, not just religious ones. Spiritual experiences contradict Freud's notion of common unhappiness and the idea of the world as inadequate. What reason do we have to assume that all such common experiences are simply false, that they are based on some kind of false consciousness? Rather, I believe that the inadequacy lies in our own awareness rather than with the world. The world allows for many experiences that would be highly adequate yet we block them - what we call the mundane world is much more enchanted than we think it is."    Episode Description: We begin by considering the embodiment of one's cultural imagination - "one's mental representation of culture" - into one's unconscious mind. Sudhir describes different early child-rearing practices and invites the question about their influence on our later inner lives. He shares with us his early idealization of Freudian/Western ways of thinking and his later development, which returned to the enchanting aspects of his Hindu youth. We discuss the similarities and differences between a Judeo-Christian-based psychoanalysis and one founded on a Hindu imagination. We consider the different notions of God, ritual, and illusion. He distinguishes an 'autonomous person' from a 'communitarian person' and describes the pleasures and burdens of each. We close with his sharing his lovely psychoanalytic origin story connected to his meeting Erik Erikson and discovering "I want to be like him."   Our Guest: Sudhir Kakar was a psychoanalyst, scholar, and writer. He had been a Lecturer and Visiting Professor at Harvard University, Visiting Professor at the Universities of Chicago, McGill, Melbourne, Hawaii, and Vienna, Fellow at the Institutes of Advanced Study, Princeton, Berlin, and Cologne, and was on the board of Freud Archives. He had received the Kardiner Award of Columbia University, Boyer Prize for Psychological Anthropology of the American Anthropological Association, Germany's Goethe Medal, Tagore-Merck Award, McArthur Research Fellowship, and Order of Merit of the Federal Republic of Germany. `As ‘the psychoanalyst of civilizations', the French weekly Le Nouvel Observateur listed Kakar in 2005 as one of the world's 25 major thinkers. Sudhir was the author/editor of 20 books of non-fiction and six novels. His books have been translated into 22 languages.   Recommended Readings: Kakar, Sudhir - The Indian Jungle: Psychoanalysis and Non-Western Civilizations, Karnac.

My guest today has a nickname in showbiz circles: he's called ‘Ideal Actor' because of his scene-stealing talent and his ability to get under the skin of what it is to be human. If you've watched Netflix's monster hit, Fool Me Once,  or seen Sherwood or Back To Life or The Night Manager or if you've watched the movies Four Lions or Murder Mystery 2, the chances are you will remember his performances. He's a brilliant actor, but he's also, as it happens, a wonderful guest - funny, moving and a deep thinker. He joins me to talk about his acting failures, his failure to work hard at school, an upbringing where he was forced to question the nature of his own identity and his failure to keep things in perspective. Also: karaoke. As always, I'd LOVE to hear about your failures. Every week, my guest and I choose a selection to read out and answer on our special subscription offering, Failing with Friends. We'll endeavour to give you advice, wisdom, some laughs and much, much more. Have something to share of your own? I'd love to hear from you!

Romans 8 brings the stakes of Jewish and Gentile harmony to a head. Paul reveals that the destiny of humanity and its habitat have always been intertwined. God has made a covenant with us that includes promises to the earth, and God's Spirit has enlisted us as one united humanity to fulfill those promises. God will be faithful to the covenant. Will we?

Paul paints a sharp contrast between two paradigmatic humans: Adam - with whom the story of humanity begins, and Jesus - with whom it ends. To be human, whether Jew or Gentile, is to share in Adam's fate, consequences, and actions. And now, to be in Jesus is to share in his.
