So I had the chance to sit down with Elesha Coffman, who's written what might be the only book entirely devoted to the Christian Century magazine, and we ended up diving deep into the whole messy question of what "mainline Protestantism" even means - which apparently stumped two past presidents of the American Society of Church History during her dissertation defense, with the best answer being something about railroads in Philadelphia. We talked through her journey from Christianity Today to studying the Christian Century, how these magazines both spoke to and sometimes wildly misjudged their audiences (especially around Billy Graham), and the cultural capital that tied together mainline Protestant clergy even when their theology and politics diverged from their congregations. What struck me was how the isolation of educated clergy - whether it's the 1920s pastor in North Dakota parceling out his weekly dose of seminary culture through the Christian Century, or today's mainline clergy feeling lonely in their own congregations - keeps showing up as this recurring theme in American church history. Plus, she's working on a book about the Religion News Service, which was apparently run by Jewish editors providing church news to Christian newspapers. This goes to show how much more complicated and interesting these stories get when you actually dig into the archives. Elesha Coffman is a historian of American Christianity and professor of history at Baylor University. She is the author of The Christian Century and the Rise of the Protestant Mainline and Turning Points in American Church History, as well as a biography of anthropologist Margaret Mead.

Walking by Faith, Training With PurposeFrom Cedarville to the Indianapolis Colts and now the University of Kansas Jayhawks, Kyler Conn's journey is one stitched together by purpose, perseverance, and a deep-rooted faith.A recent graduate of Cedarville University's rigorous BA in sports medicine and Master of Athletic Training five-year program, Kyler's path has never been just about tape and treatment tables. It's been about serving others through athletic training while staying grounded in his walk with Christ. He recently shared his story on the Cedarville Stories podcast, reflecting on the power of mentorship, faith, and family in his life.Kyler's hands-on experience began with high-level internships at Baylor University, where he worked with both the football and men's basketball programs. From assisting in sideline emergencies to supporting long-term rehab for elite athletes, Kyler's experiences gave him a close-up view of what it takes to perform under pressure at the highest level. Then came the NFL — an internship with the Indianapolis Colts where Kyler worked alongside seasoned professionals in one of the most competitive sports environments.It was during his time in Indy that he connected with a strength coach who recognized Cedarville's name and faith foundation. He eventually invited Kyler to College Park Church, which became a spiritual home during that season.While sharpening his skills on the field, Kyler also invested in the classroom. His academic research centered on Emergency Action Plans (EAPs) — the critical blueprints sports medicine teams follow during catastrophic injuries or athlete collapse. He examined how preparedness, communication, and clearly defined roles can save lives in high-pressure moments. For Kyler, EAPs aren't just paperwork — they're lifelines, and he's passionate about equipping teams to respond with precision when seconds matter most.He's also a strong advocate for mentorship, crediting much of his development to those who invested in him. “I wouldn't be where I am without the guidance of those ahead of me,” he shared.Now, Kyler is preparing to join the University of Kansas as the athletic trainer for men's basketball and baseball. With his faith as his compass and a heart for service, he's ready to make an impact in Lawrence — one athlete, one rep, one moment at a time.https://share.transistor.fm/s/77a3fc4ehttps://youtu.be/WLku-bt4iSA

Jimmy Peña is a hospitality executive, best-selling author, and nonprofit leader whose career spans luxury hotels, estate operations, publishing, and ministry. A graduate of Baylor University and the University of Texas at Tyler, Jimmy began in the world of health and fitness — becoming Worldwide Fitness Editor for Muscle & Fitness and M&F Hers, co-writing the New York Times bestseller Extra Lean with Mario Lopez. But as he explains in this episode, a childhood experience of “radical hospitality” shaped his view of service and ultimately led him to the Ritz-Carlton, where he earned the prestigious Leader of the Year Award and discovered hospitality as his true calling.Today, Jimmy serves as Director of Estate Operations for a private, ultra-high-net-worth individual, overseeing world-class service standards and asset management. He also consults with families, estates, and businesses, helping them elevate their operations and culture by drawing on Ritz-Carlton–inspired practices.In this conversation, Jimmy reflects on what he's learned along the way — from the role of structure and standards in elevating service, to why stewardship is central to hospitality, and how caring for people, places, and moments brings both delight and dignity to the work we do. Listeners will come away with a deeper understanding of service as stewardship — and how to lead with both heart and excellence in every guest experience.

In “We Sure Eat Good When Someone Dies,” Gravy producer Caleb Johnson takes listeners back to August 2024, when his extended family gathered inside a Baptist church in Arley, Alabama, to mourn the loss of their matriarch—his grandmother, Celia Sampley. Before the funeral service, the church served lunch for the family, including chicken and dumplings, green-bean casserole, and plenty of desserts. A particular cake caught Caleb's eye that day, called a pea picking cake. In this episode, Caleb steps into the kitchen of the woman who baked that memorable cake and explores how eating something sweet helps us process grief. The cook's name is Sandra Stewart, and she was a good friend of Caleb's grandmother. They attended Bethel Baptist Church together for many years. When it came time to bake something for the funeral wake, Sandra looked through her large recipe book. She chose a pea picking cake because all the ingredients she needed were already in her pantry. Her choice was mainly for convenience. Traditionally, recipes for pea picking cake call for using a box cake mix. The first box cake mix was created in the 1930s, but it didn't become popular until after World War II. Caleb talks with food historian KC Hysmith about the mysterious origins of the pea picking cake and how it fits into a tradition of fancy box cakes that grew popular in the second half of the twentieth century, a time when home cooks started using more store-bought, convenience ingredients. Caleb also speaks with Dr. Candi K. Cann, a professor of religion at Baylor University and a self-described death scholar, about funeral traditions involving food around the world. She explains that these traditions help mourners revisit meaningful relationships. However, despite the close link between funerals and foodways, Dr. Cann says Americans aren't taught how to navigate grief, partly because individualism is a key part of the Protestant faith. She believes this has led to less emphasis on communal meals like the one served at Caleb's grandmother's wake. *** This episode was reported by Caleb Johnson.

What does it take to heal beyond the pills, the quick fixes, and the 15-minute doctor visits?  For today's episode of The Ripple Effect Podcast, we have Cristi Cuellar, also known as “Austin's Holistic Physical Therapist,” who has spent the last 18 years transforming lives through her approach to healing. With a passion for alternative pain management, she champions conscious exercise and an anti-inflammatory lifestyle, emphasizing personalized, one-on-one care that addresses the root causes of pain. In 2016, Cristi enhanced her expertise by becoming certified in dry needling, inspired by its rapid benefits in her own journey—from a high school athlete who tore her Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL), to becoming a physical therapist, and ultimately launching C&C Dry Needling, her own wellness clinic in South Lamar. We talk about what makes her approach so unique, which is the 5R wellness method that helps patients reset their nervous system, repair soft tissue, and truly reclaim their health. She takes pride in listening to her patients' complete stories, creating a holistic pathway to optimal health and empowerment.  Cristi has a Bachelor's of Health and Science Degree from Baylor University and a Master of Physical Therapy Degree from Texas State University. As a licensed Physical Therapist, she has various continuing education certifications in Dry Needling, Exercise Correction, Reformer Pilates, Manual Therapy, YogaFit, Qigong, and Kinesiotaping techniques. She has also been part of the CHEK (Corrective Holistic Exercise Kinesiology) Institute as a Holistic Lifestyle Coach for over 6 years. She is an advocate for functional medicine, emotional intelligence, and spiritual growth, and a fan of Dr. Mark Hyman, Andrew Huberman, Dr. Stacy Sims, Dr. Joe Dispenza, and Brene Brown. If you've ever wondered how mind-body healing really works, or why traditional physical therapy sometimes misses the bigger picture, you're going to love hearing Cristi's perspective on holistic injury recovery, patient empowerment, and creating balance in life. Cristi's story proves that healing isn't just about the body. It's about the mind, emotions, and spirit working together. Do you enjoy listening to experts from diverse fields?

In the societies in which most of us live, our capitalist economic systems run on transactions—on individual sales of goods and services. But are you aware that there are other infrastructures of support and help that meet our need for information, connection, even love? We live with gift economies that already enrich our lives. We start our story with professional disruptor, clinical psychologist and entrepreneur Dr. Glen Moriarty, founder of one of the most innovative, free global mental health systems on the planet—a community called Seven Cups, where over 570,000 trained volunteer listeners provide emotional support to users in 189 countries in 140 languages.

In this episode of The Power Vertical Podcast, host Brian Whitmore speaks with David Kramer, former U.S. Assistant Secretary of State, and Serhiy Kudelia, Associate Professor of Political Science at Baylor University, about the high-stakes Trump-Putin summit in Alaska. With the meeting unfolding as the episode was recorded, they analyze the possible scenarios—from capitulation to a Minsk 3-style ceasefire to the status quo—and explore how each could impact Ukraine, Europe, and U.S.-Russia relations. They also examine the broader strategic goals at play, the political signals from Washington, and what history might teach us about moments like this.

Send us a textSarah Kushner captivates listeners with her remarkable journey from childhood jogs through Garden of the Gods to becoming the 2024 Pikes Peak Marathon Champion. With disarming honesty and warmth, she reveals how walking on to Baylor University's track team as a steeplechaser laid the foundation for her trail running success, despite never being the fastest collegiate runner.What makes Sarah's story particularly compelling is her perspective on competition and community. While fiercely competitive (something she admits hides beneath her friendly exterior), she approaches running with refreshing balance. She's intentionally stepped away from the comparison trap of social media and start lists, focusing instead on her own progress and enjoyment of the sport. This mental approach, developed with coach Megan Roche, has been key to maintaining her passion for running.Beyond her athletic achievements, Sarah's commitment to giving back stands out. She serves on the Pikes Peak Marathon board of directors, works as a Lululemon ambassador organizing community events, and coaches high school cross-country with special attention to developing runners who aren't naturally the fastest. This service ethic, rooted in her faith and family values, creates a powerful counterbalance to the often self-focused nature of endurance sports.The conversation delves into practical aspects of her training too—balancing urban runs in Denver with weekend trail adventures, preparing for the elite Broken Arrow 46K race, and her aspirations to eventually tackle 100-mile distances. Throughout, her genuine love for the mountains and the running community shines through, making it clear why she's become such a beloved figure in Colorado's trail running scene.Whether you're a competitive runner seeking performance insights or simply love stories of determination and community impact, Sarah's thoughtful reflections on finding meaning both on and off the trails will leave you inspired to pursue your own balanced path to fulfillment.Follow James on IG - @jameslaurielloFollow the Steep Stuff Podcast on IG - @steepstuff_podUse code steepstuffpod for 25% off your cart at UltimateDirection.com!

Email us: Will@faithfulpoliticspodcast.comWhat happens when a religious sect rooted in patriarchy and Christian nationalism gains influence over America's largest government agency?Dr. Samuel P. Perry, a scholar of race, religion, and rhetoric at Baylor University, joins Will to unpack the rise of the Communion of Reformed Evangelical Churches (CREC)—a small but strategically influential network founded by Doug Wilson in Moscow, Idaho. Perry explains how the CREC uses media, schools, and publishing arms like Canon Press to shape a hyper-patriarchal, theocratic vision of society. He also explores the implications of Pete Hegseth—Trump's Secretary of Defense—being a member of a CREC church.The conversation covers Christian reconstructionism, the erosion of church-state separation, militant rhetoric, and the creeping normalization of extreme ideology through polished media ecologies. Perry also warns how these theological fringes have real-world implications, from women in combat to anti-LGBTQ policies in the military.If you've never heard of the CREC, now is the time to pay attention.Subscribe, share, and join the conversation.

In a stunning display of religious overreach and intellectual cowardice, Baylor University shamefully rejected a $643,000 research grant intended to study LGBTQ+ experiences in religious spaces. This isn't just about lost funding; it's a clear message that appeasing conservative fundamentalists and their bigoted donors trumps academic freedom, scientific inquiry, and basic human dignity. The university's fear of uncovering uncomfortable truths about its own marginalized students and faculty is a stark illustration of how dogma silences facts, prioritizing comfort over compassion. It's a classic playbook move: preserving antiquated beliefs, even if it means actively harming the very people they claim to serve. A truly pathetic and hypocritical stance for an institution of 'higher learning'.News Source:Baylor University rejects 643,401 LGBTQ research grant after conservative backlashBy Hemant Mehta for The Friendly AtheistJuly 17, 2025

In this episode, Edward dives deep into the why behind strategy in player development.Many programs rely on good people doing good things — but without strategy, the work lacks staying power.

What if everything you thought you knew about vaccines was… incomplete?In this unfiltered, eye-opening episode, Drs. May and Tim Hindmarsh sit down once again with cardiologist, internist, and epidemiologist Dr. Peter McCullough—this time to go deep into the rabbit hole of vaccine history, ideology, and the controversial myths we've stopped questioning.From 18th-century pus-filled experiments to modern-day policies driven more by profit than evidence, McCullough pulls back the curtain on how public trust has been won—and lost—through fear, flawed science, and a whole lot of money.They dive into:

My guest today is author Jack Watts. Having written thirty-four books and screenplays, including nine biographies, six of them commissioned, he received his AB from Georgia State University, his MA in Church-State Studies from Baylor University, and all but his dissertation for a PhD from Emory University. He has co-authored his newest book along with Tom David, Jr, AN AMERICAN HERO: ONE MAN'S LEGACY OF FATHERHOOD AND FAITH.  The book pays homage to Tom Davis' father, “Jimmy” Davis, who overcame impossible odds as a child after being dumped at an orphanage by his degenerate father, who he never saw again.  Pulling himself up by the bootstraps, Jimmy got an education and then sneaked into the army underage—rising through the ranks to become a WWII decorated officer—fighting in The Battle of the Bulge. But there is so much more to the story. #veteran #fatherhood #selfmade #faith #inspiration #orphan #businessman #father #lifelessons #newbook #education

In this episode, Kyle breaks down the grant that Baylor University, a private and supposedly Christian university, received to study “inclusivity in the church” for people that identify as LGBTQ+. Also, in the Quick Hitters segment, he discusses Chip and Joanna Gaines selling out to the LGBTQ+ agenda, the tragic floods in Kerr County, Texas, former President Joe Biden's doctor pleading the Fifth when asked if he covered up Biden's bad mental and physical health, Planned Parenthood losing funding (for one year), the University of Pennsylvania stripping male swimmer Leah Thomas' trophies and medals and issuing a formal apology for letting him compete in women's swimming events, and a 1-year-old baby being mauled to death by the family dog (bet you can't guess what breed it is).

Segment 1: • Dr. John MacArthur has passed, but his gospel legacy endures. • He was simply a tool in the Carpenter's hand—Christ deserves the glory. • Mourn not fearfully, but gratefully: “Look what Jesus has done.” Segment 2: • MacArthur preached through the New Testament for 42 years, never wavering from expository preaching. • He carried himself with pastoral dignity, never settling for entertainment over shepherding souls. • When death comes, serious men—not silly ones—are the pastors we long for. Segment 3: • College students today can't explain basic Christian doctrines. • Emotional reasoning and claims of oppression now trump truth. • New campus events will tackle why young adults are “deconstructing” their faith. Segment 4: • Baylor University returned $630,000 meant for LGBT research—good news! • Disturbing data: professing Christians report record levels of pornography addiction. • If you're not part of a local church, you're missing vital gospel growth.

Today, we're unpacking the progressive shift at Baylor University, a prominent Baptist institution in Waco, Texas, and its recent acceptance of an almost $700,000 grant from the Eula Mae and John Baugh Foundation. We explore how this funding, aimed at fostering "LGBTQ inclusion" in churches, signals a broader leftward drift at Baylor, despite its historical ties to Baptist values. We'll dive into the grant's purpose and its implications for biblical fidelity, and the university's embrace of progressive ideologies like standpoint epistemology and DEI initiatives. We'll also examine Baylor's ties to the Baptist General Convention of Texas, its evolving policies on sexuality, and the broader cultural and spiritual battle over institutional capture.
