On February 17, 2024 Dr. Andrew Michel, Associate Professor of Psychiatry at Belmont University, presented "Toward a Neo-Salesian Spirituality for Students of Medicine." In it, he hopes that DeSales, the doctor of divine love, might inflame a Neo-Saleisan Pentecost in contemporary medicine. He invites healers to take a posture of humility and others-centered surrender in their practice of healing. In so doing, healers could also become agents of social change sent out as apostles into the contemporary healthcare ecosystem. He goes on, "In the solidarity of missional friendship, such a Neo-Salesian physician-apostle might reawaken justice alongside healing in a land parched and fragmented by inequities, caught up in the spirit of a neocapitalist age that has forgotten the true ends of healing and wholeness for all people. In becoming physician-apostolates in these secular spaces, each Neo-Salesian medical practitioner would be a little brother or sister of Jesus of Nazareth–heart on fire, with divine love, in mission to reenchant medicine like yeast worked all through the dough." Andrew Michel, M.D. is Associate Professor of Psychiatry in the Department of Integrated Medical Education at the Frist College of Medicine at Belmont University, where he currently serves as the curriculum committee chair. Dr. Michel earned his M.D. from Vanderbilt University School of Medicine and completed the Harvard Longwood Psychiatry Residency Training Program; Dr. Michel is a board-certified psychiatrist. Dr. Michel's scholarship has focused on the interface of philosophy (virtue ethics), theology, contemplative spirituality, and clinical psychiatry. Dr. Michel's academic ventures are heavily informed by clinical experience in caring for persons who suffer with a range of mental health challenges, including trauma, addiction, and disruptions of mood and cognition. Dr. Michel's style of practice has a contemplative foundation, centered in being deeply present in solidarity with persons who suffer with psychiatric illness, with the aim of healing and flourishing in the context of vulnerability.

He also notes Nashville's strong economic ecosystem as a catalyst for AI and data center growth.Addressing barriers to AI adoption—particularly in regulated industries—Dr. Jones advocates for more nimble intellectual property regulation and calls for a transformation in degree-granting models, emphasizing the importance of perpetual learning and competency-based education.

Show Notes:Chris and Eddie are joined by previous guest Greg Jones for a spirited conversation about leaning into hopeful imagination: looking for places where the Holy Spirit is at work and where we can see a future that's different from the past and the present. What does it mean to be formed in God's imagination? How can we use that formation to find security in a fractured, uncertain world? How can we bring resurrection hope--the surety of a risen Christ to heal the world--to our institutions, our communities, and our daily lives?Greg is the President of Belmont University as well as the former Dean of Duke Divinity School and the author of several books, including Navigating the Future (co-authored with Andrew P. Hogue), Christian Social Innovation, and Thriving Communities (co-authored with Kavin Rowe). His hope for his time at Belmont is to make it a leading Christ-centered university in the world, radically championing the pursuit of life abundant for all people. Resources:Listen to Greg's previous episode on The Weight here.Learn more about his books and buy them online here.Learn more about Dr. Jones here.

Music Supervision Secrets with Andrew Weaver: AI, Indie Artists & Nashville's Sync Boom!

Have you ever thought about becoming a brand expert for C. S. Lewis or J. R. R. Tolkien? On the one hand, these seem like authors who need no introduction. On the other hand, how many people today really know the work of these towering 20th Century authors, beyond what made its way onto the silver screen? And what about one of the authors closely associated with them – Dorothy Sayers – who is far from well known in the general public but whose work is of similar creative and literary quality with her more famous friends and interlocutors?Maybe you haven't ever thought about launching a public relations campaign for one of these authors for the sake of a modern audience of young adults, but my guest today has. She is Christie Kleinmann, Professor of Public Relations at Belmont University in Nashville, Tennessee. Professor Kleinmann is one of a dozen fellows in our second annual cohort of the Inklings Project, run out of the McGrath Institute for Church Life. Along with the other eleven fellows who come from colleges and universities across the United States and in four foreign countries, Professor Kleinmann developed and offered a new course this spring that draws the work of the Inklings into her own area of expertise: strategic public relations. The students in her course were divided into three semester-long groups, which each took as their “clients” one of these three Inklings: Lewis, Tolkien, and Sayers. Today, Professor Kleinmann joins me to talk about the project of her course, the relevance of the Inklings, and the creativity of her students.This is the first of a two-episode set. The second episode will feature three of Professor Kleinmann's students, one from each of the three Inklings groups. Follow-up Resources:Learn more about The Inklings Project.

Kelsie Watts's musical journey began in Lubbock, Texas, where she found her voice at two years old in a family of musicians. From early performances in church and school to studying opera and commercial music at Belmont University in Nashville, she developed her craft and gained recognition. Her self-released music led to a feature on AJ McLean's 2020 single “Hurts to Love You,” while her viral rendition of Kelly Clarkson's “I Dare You” on The Voice Season 19 earned her a spot on Team Kelly and millions of views. Now an independent pop artist, Kelsie continues to inspire with her music and advocacy. Her single “Live Out Loud” became the anthem for the Tokyo Sky Tree Global Campaign during the 2021 Olympics, followed by empowering tracks like “Look What You Missed” and the poignant ballad “I Can't Say Goodbye,” honoring her late brother who she lost to mental health struggles. In 2024, she released “After Midnight” and “Forgetful,” a Diane Warren-penned duet with Nate Amor.

"My generation wishes we didn't get social media so young. Everyone regrets being allowed to access these platforms. Everyone wishes their parents put more restrictions on their phone. Everyone wishes that they got to enjoy a more carefree childhood."At 20, Maya Englehorn reflects on getting her first smartphone when she was a freshman in high school, but being allowed on Instagram – via tablet – at age nine.  Back then, Instagram was simpler - no ads, sponsored posts, or TikTok-like reels. Even so, she wishes her parents had also delayed her social media use.What started as a college project on the mental health impacts of tech helped Maya see the dangers of tech for children. Her conviction led her to join Wired Human Youth Coalition, a nonprofit organization dedicated to raising awareness on digital harms and amplifying youth voices in political advocacy. The more she learns, the more she understands how social media highjacks childhood innocence.  With Wired Human Youth Coalition, Maya helped lead a survey exploring the effects of social media on high-school and college students. Their findings point to the addictive nature of social media and a clear link between time spent online and increased anxiety, depression and guilt.  Tune in as Nicki from Scrolling 2 Death unpacks the data – and hear Maya's compelling take on Gen Z growing up in a digital world.Maya Englehorn is a Junior at Belmont University in Nashville Tennessee, studying Global Leadership and Business Administration. Maya is actively involved in the Wired Human Youth Coalition, a nonprofit organization dedicated to promoting discussions on online harms and mental health with a focus on empowering young voices to lead the conversation in political advocacy.Over the past year, she conducted a survey exploring the impact of social media on high school and college students. In February, she presented her findings at the U.S. Capital Roundtable on Kids Online Safety, calling for stronger digital protections.Maya is committed to being a voice of hope for her generation, aiming to pursue a path addressing today's most pressing challenges. After graduation, she hopes to build a career at the intersection of global development and social impact, working to empower communities and contribute to lasting, meaningful solutions worldwide.Connect with Maya on LinkedIn here.

Hey there! This week's conversation is one that got me thinking ahead—way ahead. While my oldest is still in middle school, college feels like it's going to be here before I know it. That's why I'm so grateful to have *Dr. Greg Jones*, president of Belmont University, on the podcast today to talk about helping our kids prepare for life beyond high school with purpose, faith, and community at the center.  Here are four key takeaways from this episode:—Choosing a school isn't about prestige—it's about finding a place where your child can grow, thrive, and live out their calling.  —Relationships formed during the college years play a vital role in shaping a student's identity and faith.  —Not getting into a dream school isn't the end—it can be a redirection toward God's best.  —Each child's path is unique, and our job is to guide them with patience, grace, and a big-picture mindset.  Dr. Greg Jones is the president of Belmont University in Nashville, Tennessee. With a background in theology, leadership, and education, Dr. Jones is passionate about helping students discover their God-given purpose and equipping families to think beyond rankings and toward flourishing futures.  This episode is full of wisdom for parents at every stage. Whether college is around the corner or years away, I hope it encourages you to guide your kids with faith and intentionality.With love,Steph Thurling(02:56) The Role of Community in College Selection(06:04) Finding Purpose and Character Formation(08:45) Navigating College Decisions and Parental Guidance(11:58) The Importance of Relationships in College(14:46) Helping Kids Discover Their Purpose(18:08) Trends in College Students Today(20:51) Dealing with Rejection and Redirection(23:56) The Long View of Parenting(27:11) Final Thoughts on Faith, Hope, and LoveResources MentionedSubscribe to Christian ParentingEaster BundleAdventure BibleThe Christian Parenting Podcast is a part of the Christian Parenting Podcast Network.

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.

Cultivate inner awareness through the simple yet powerful act of conscious breathing. By focusing your attention on the rhythm and sensation of your breath, you'll gently quiet the mind's chatter and tap into a deeper sense of presence. As you follow the flow of your breath, you'll observe thoughts and emotions arise and pass without judgment, creating space for clarity and self-discovery.
