In this episode, Dr. David Alan Black, in a comprehensive discussion about the authorship of the book of Hebrews, explores both internal and external evidence that supports Pauline authorship. Dr. Black shares his journey into New Testament studies, the historical context of authorship debates, and the significance of early church fathers in affirming Paul's authorship. The conversation emphasizes the importance of examining Greek texts and challenges common assumptions about the differences between Hebrews and other Pauline epistles.

For the first time in a long time, Gobbledygeek dips its beak back into the Marvel Cinematic Universe. They've done so for a very special film: Jake Schreier's Thunderbolts*, a return to the MCU's past glories with a tale of outcasts looking for something to believe in. Yelena Belova, the Winter Soldier, U.S. Agent, Red Guardian, Ghost, and Taskmaster come together to form a new kind of Avengers team; one formed under the auspices of none other than Elaine Benes. Paul, Arlo, and Eric–our own band of lovable misfits–discuss Florence Pugh's killer performance, the lovable David Harbour, what Thunderbolts* does differently than most recent MCU films, and much, much more.   NEXT: we enter VAL-halla for a second Val Kilmer double feature. This time, it's 1986's Tony Scott pro-war classic Top Gun and 1988's Ron Howard (???)

Perfect for writers seeking to craft screenplays that are both emotionally grounded and commercially viable.

Today, our guest is Dr. Sam Perry, associate professor of communication in the honors college and Director of the Fellowship in Interdisciplinary Rhetorical Studies at Baylor University. Dr. Perry studies race and racism in the United States with a particular focus on the ways in which anti-black racism manifests in the public sphere through political, religious, and popular discourse, and emphasis on representations of violence in protests.

Care sunt comportamentele pe care le învățăm adesea, încă din primii ani de viață și din primele interacțiuni avute? Cum sunt acestea reîntărite la școală și, mai apoi, în alte relații pe care le dezvoltăm cu cei din jur? Cum ajung acestea să devină reprezentative nu doar pentru fiecare individ, ci pentru noi ca societate și, mai ales, cum impactează deciziile pe care le luăm și modul în care ne raportăm unii la ceilalți? În episodul de astăzi descoperim, alături de Gelu Duminică, de ce e atât de importantă puterea lui împreună și cum "diferența dintre ceea ce unii credeau că putem fi și ceea ce suntem e dată de cei care au crezut mai mult în noi decât am crezut noi în noi înșine".

#37 The Allegory Story - (The Two Swords: Flaming and Quickened)

Old Testament stories are fun and fascinating, but we've gotten into a bad habit of making them moral tales just for kids. In reality, all of these stories point to Jesus and exist for the sanctification of all believers. Jonah is not about a fish but about a merciful God who makes a way of salvation for the worst sinners through the true and better Jonah—Jesus.Sermon Preached by Bryan Martinez on June 29, 2025Foothill Church exists to glorify God by living as disciples of Jesus who make disciples of Jesus.https://foothill.church Learn about our For the Sake of His Name 2-Year Discipleship Journey:https://foothill.church/FTSOHN

Isaiah's Commission, as described in Isaiah chapter 6, details his vision of God's holiness and his subsequent call to ministry. This experience impacted Isaiah, leading him to acknowledge his unworthiness and, ultimately, to volunteer for God's service. God asks, "Whom shall I send? And who will go for us?". Isaiah responds, "Here am I. Send me!".In this episode, I'm joined by Nate Chavoya from the Reality Czars podcast.

It's time to wrap up this installment of Tillyvision, as Star Trek: Strange New World's "Ad Astra Per Aspera" comes to a close! We talk why we'd want to be part of a society that oppresses us, how and why we can be better, and maybe this show gives us a road map for how we can get there. Critic and journalist Mo Ryan returns to discuss how it's up to those with privilege to USE it to do what you can to help (and has a shoutout for Rabbi Danya Ruttenberg!).

We're back with the meaty middle part of our discussion of Ad Astra Per Aspera! We're going to talk about cis hypocrisy, how some cis people experience so much fear that they might be trans that it motivates their transphobia, and how being "one of the good ones" won't save us.

In this episode of Brain in a Vat, we examine two competing political visions through an AI debate between Plato and Robert Nozick. Plato defends rule by philosopher kings and a unified society, while Nozick argues for individual liberty and a minimal state. Following our previous episode featuring Mill and Kant, we continue investigating major philosophical divides through thought experiments like the Allegory of the Cave and the Experience Machine. The episode considers justice, autonomy, and the proper role of government. Join the conversation and decide which vision of society you find more compelling.[00:00] Introduction[00:30] Plato's Allegory of the Cave[01:30] Philosopher Kings and the Ideal State[03:28] Criticisms of Plato's Republic[18:54] Nozick's Experience Machine[24:04] The Minimal State and Taxation[26:14] Anarchy vs. State[36:12] Comparing Political Visions[47:14] Final Reflections

Let's dive into two of my favorite things that taste great together... trans allegories, and Star Trek! Season two, episode two of Strange New Worlds, "Ad Astra Per Aspera," rocked my world.

Larry Burkett often said that capitalism must be tempered by Christian love, compassion, and stewardship.Proponents of capitalism and free markets don't often express that concern, just as believers in social welfare rarely count the cost. Jim Jones joins us today to talk about a new way of looking at those ideas.Jim Jones is a Chartered Financial Analyst® (CFA®) and Certified Kingdom Advisor® (CKA®). He is also the author of Utopia Reimagined: An Allegory of Capital and Conscience.A Unique Approach to Biblical EconomicsUnlike typical finance books, Utopia Reimagined is a novel—a work of fiction designed to explore serious biblical and economic themes through story.Why fiction? Jesus often used storytelling to challenge people's assumptions and invite deeper reflection. From the Good Samaritan to the Prodigal Son, stories have the power to stick with us in ways data and arguments often can't. As G.K. Chesterton once quipped, “Novels are more true than science textbooks. Life is sometimes like a science textbook, but life is always a story.”The Journey of Alexander and PaulineThe novel follows two siblings—Alexander and Pauline—on a journey through contrasting societies, each representing different economic and political ideologies.Alexander, a gifted but oppressed peasant in 18th-century France, escapes a feudal system to explore new societal models. His journey takes him through a magical cave into Santosa—a society with socialist tendencies—and eventually to New York City, the heart of free-market capitalism. Along the way, Alexander wrestles with the tension between opportunity, freedom, and justice.Pauline's journey is more focused on the moral and cultural fabric of each society. Her lens offers readers a parallel exploration of what's right, just, and good—not only economically, but relationally and spiritually.Through these characters, readers are invited to explore how faith shapes our perspectives on power, wealth, justice, and human dignity. Some characters see everything through the lens of faith, while others struggle to integrate it or reject it altogether.The beauty of storytelling is that it doesn't just show you what people believe, but why they believe it. That builds compassion and opens the door to real understanding.What Does a Biblical Utopia Look Like?In the final chapters of the novel, Alexander and Pauline discover a society that reflects the fullness of God's Kingdom—a glimpse of the new heavens and the new earth. It's a world where work, community, economics, and leadership are all governed by Christ's nature: sacrificial love, justice, and peace.But how do we pursue this kind of utopia now?Real change begins not at a national or global level, but in our local Christian communities. Reflecting God's image means practicing agape love—self-sacrificing care for one another—in how we use our time, money, influence, and power. We do that in community, not alone.Bringing the Vision to LifeMore than just a novel, Utopia Reimagined is a tool for discipleship and transformation. It's a call to rethink how we live, give, work, and govern in light of God's design. Through this engaging allegory, Jim Jones invites believers to dream again—anchored in Scripture and empowered by the Spirit—to reflect the Kingdom of God on earth as it is in heaven. That's why he has developed a discussion guide for churches, small groups, and communities who want to go deeper. It's available at utopiareimagined.com, where readers can also purchase the book or join a virtual conversation with Jim himself.And for a limited time, the Kindle edition is available for just $1.99.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:I'm a landlord with a duplex and want to sell it in a year.

I sat down with scholar, Nilesh Kumar to explore how Korean cinema has reflected shifting notions of gender, identity, and social structure across decades. From the angry men of the Korean New Wave to the defiant heroines of modern streaming hits, this conversation examines how bodies on screen become battlegrounds for power, memory, and desire. We begin by talking about how technology defines Park Chan-wook's groundbreaking movie Oldboy, as well as its absence of allegory, signaling the start of post-modern Korean cinema. Then, we explore three main themes in Korean cinema across time: Masculinity, femininity, and queer representation. The first section sees us discuss Chilsu and Mansu (1988), Peppermint Candy (1999), A Single Spark (1995), Whale Hunting (1984), Burning (2018), and Parasite (2019). We then turn our attention to Hostess Cinema (1974-1982), Yeong-ja's Heydays (1975), Right Then, Wrong Now (2015), Ballerina (2023), Han Gong Ju (2013), and My Sassy Girl (2001). Finally, we look at King and the Clown (2005), Moonlit Winter (2019), Mine (2021), The Handmaiden (2016) as well as the importance of Seo Dong-jin and Paul B. Preciado. I was particularly impressed by how Nilesh put each section in context, describing the importance of the socio-economic and political conditions of the time. Nilesh Kumar is from England, of Gujarati-Indian background, and is based in South Korea. He is a Film Curator and co-founder of the Seoul-based underground-movable cinema, STEAK FILM and the sexuality themed, STEAK CINEMA. His topics of writing have included contemporary queer South Korean culture, South Korean ‘hostess' cinema (1974-82), and 6th Generation Chinese Cinema.

In this episode of The Poet (delayed), I read my allegory “The Raft,” which explores what it means to face fear and step beyond the limitations that keep us small. It is about becoming whole again—learning to sit with our younger selves, heal old wounds, and expand into who we truly are. This one's about transformation, courage, and the quiet power of growth. I'd love to hear what you have to say about the episode including thoughts on the poetry and the topics that were discussed. You can email me at poetdelayed@gmail.com. My first book of poetry, My Mother Sleeps, is availabe for purchase at Amazon.com (http://www.amazon.com/Scott-R.-Edgar/e/B0B2ZR7W41%3Fref=dbs_a_mng_rwt_scns_share) Holding my book at The King's English Bookshop https://files.fireside.fm/file/fireside-uploads/images/b/b1c4f464-ff8b-4fd1-8632-8c458a232c1a/olfoSxre.jpeg

Be guided through a symbolic journey inspired by Plato's Allegory of the Cave, using the Gyana Mudra to enhance inner wisdom and clarity. You'll visualize yourself as a prisoner in the cave, then experience liberation, the ascent to the outside world, and the return. The Gyana Mudra, formed by joining the thumb and index finger, symbolizes knowledge and focus, aiding in discerning truth from illusion. This practice encourages questioning perceptions, seeking deeper understanding, and cultivating inner enlightenment.
