Well nerds, buckle up for this one. My buddy Ryan Burge has returned with his latest graphs about religion and the 2024 election, and let me tell you - it was zesty. We started talking about minor league baseball, chicken raising, and somehow ended up dissecting why 83% of white evangelicals voted for Trump (spoiler: it's not shocking). Ryan breaks down the real story of the 2024 election - how non-white evangelicals are now 50/50, why mainline Protestants aren't actually that liberal, and the fascinating shifts happening in the Catholic vote. We dive into the data that shows education and church attendance create some pretty stark political divides, and why Democrats might want to rethink their approach to people of faith. But this is us, so we also talked about LeBron's hair transplants, whether 100 men could take down a silverback gorilla, why online gambling is destroying America, and Ryan's ongoing campaign to get academics to eat at steakhouses instead of Sweet Green. Plus, Ryan explains why Mark Driscoll might be the godfather of the manosphere, and we debate whether Joe Scarborough and Mika have the worst work schedule in television. Oh, and we somehow got into a deep discussion about Mayor Pete's beard and why Democrats need to learn how to talk about their faith without sounding like they're apologizing for it. Because apparently that's where our brains go. Want the full conversation? This is just a taste of what we covered in over two hours of completely unhinged discussion. If you're a member of either Graphs About Religion (Ryan's substack) or Process This (mine), you get access to the entire unedited conversation, plus invitations to join us live for future streams where things get even more zesty - and yes, I'm using that word in the Whitehead sense, not the Gen Z sense.   Previous Visits from Ryan Burge Distrust & Denominations Trust, Religion, & a Functioning Democracy What it's like to close a church The Future of Christian Education & Ministry in Charts The Sky is Falling & the Charts are Popping!

Christianity is starting to make a comeback in the U.S. and other western countries, led by young people.Why it matters: A decades-long decline has stalled, shaping the future of Gen Z, the drivers of the religion revival.“We've seen the plateau of non-religion in America,” says Ryan Burge, a political scientist at Eastern Illinois University. “Gen Z is not that much less religious than their parents, and that's a big deal.”By the numbers: Data from Pew shows that, for decades, each age group has been less Christian than the one before it.Americans born in the 1970s are 63% Christian. 1980s babies are 53% Christian, and 1990s babies are 46% Christian.But there was no decline from the 1990s to the 2000s. Americans born in the 2000s are also 46% Christian.Stunning stat: Gen Z-ers — especially Gen Z men — are actually more likely to attend weekly religious services than millennials and even some younger Gen X-ers, Burge's analysis shows.Between the lines: Young men are leading American's religion resurgence.

We rarely get to hear Joel Potrykus talk about himself as an actor. The independent filmmaker of such beloved low-budget treasures as “Ape,” “Buzzard,” and “Relaxer” says he has, in fact, never talked about it. In his latest, “Vulcanizadora,” he once again co-stars with the man he loves to point his camera at, Joshua Burge. The two reprise their roles of Derek and Marty exactly ten years after they birthed those characters in “Buzzard.” On this episode, Potrykus explains the decision to take on the role in both films, why he loves working with the “machine” that is Burge, the part of directing actors he likes the least, how the end of “Field of Dreams” helped his acting process, and much more. Back To One is the in-depth, no-nonsense, actors-on-acting podcast from  Filmmaker Magazine. In each episode, host Peter Rinaldi invites one working actor to do a deep dive into their unique process, psychology, and approach to the craft.  Follow Back To One on Instagram

Send us a textIn this episode, Jacqui Burge joins me (Hotflash inc founder Ann Marie McQueen) for a magical conversation that ranges from why perimenopause needed an easy-to-digest, simple and clean protein powder to how much better life can be without sugar. Jacqui is a thoughtful, post-menopausal American health and wellness entrepreneur. A workplace wellness pioneer, she has more than three million views on LinkedIn for sessions offered by her company Desk Yogi. She's been a figure skater, a rock star, a mom and a drug addict. She's also a woman who found herself a bit lost when menopause hit, and it was unexplained weight gain that led her to launch XO Jacqui. And this is where I found her, because Jacquie's clean, vegan, organic and gluten-free protein powder is literally the only one in the world my tummy can tolerate. You can literally count the ingredients on your hand. It's delicious and I actually import it from the US to the UAE. (If you want some of your own, use code HOTFLASHINC15 at checkout) Jacqui's mantra aligns with mine here at Hotflash inc: be your own advocate, stay curious and a step outside of your comfort zone. The episode emphasizes embracing change, the non-linear nature of healing, and promoting self-acceptance and mental well-being.Highlights:The power of nudgesWhy she works on Sundays How to edit your to-do list to cut overwhelm How to make the first person you take care of youHow not to turn yourself into a mashed potato What drove her to start making her own protein powder (and what's going on with a lot of varieties that seem healthy) The one thing about the obsession with protein you need to knowPerimenopause is asking about ‘what can you simplify'Why perimenopause should be a recognized rite of passageThe stability, knowingness and awareness that gets solidified in menopauseWhat is “pretend connection” and why does it hurt us? Re-examining alcohol in perimenopause What happens after you kick sugar for 10 daysHow neurofeedback cut through the trauma and finally helped her feel safeWhy she wants you to get support in tackling your traumaThe two sides of asking for helpWhat radical acceptance really meansHer best advice for going through perimenopause Menopausal creativity burstsWhy “post-menopause” needs more loveMy Fit TribeWhere each episode devles into unique experience and knowledge about body mind and spiritListen on: Apple Podcasts SpotifyJoin the Hotflash Inc perimenoposse: Web: hotflashinc.comTikTok: @hotflashincInstagram: @hotflashincX: @hotflashinc Episode website: Hotflashinc See hotflashinc.com/privacy-policy for privacy information

It was another eventful village board meeting in south suburban Dolton Monday night as Mayor Tiffany Henyard once again told residents she'll be victorious in her run for a second term. Many in the audience left or stood with their backs to the mayor when she spoke. “Know this – I am going to come through on a landslide just like Trump did,” Henyard said. “Like it or not, I am your mayor.” But in the coming days, Henyard's hand-picked choice for interim police chief will be out of a job. A judge said Ronnie Burge Sr. could only serve for 30 days, making his last day on the job Dec. 6. In a letter, the Illinois Law Enforcement Training and Standards Board said that Burge has no authority to make arrests or carry a firearm until the necessary documents were submitted to determine if he's eligible for reactivation and a training waiver.

As someone who's navigated this challenging, yet rewarding, path, Steve offers good advice for anyone looking to make a similar transition. If you're a WordPress developer eyeing the SaaS space, or simply curious about the differences between plugin and SaaS development, this episode is for you.

At a heated board meeting in Dolton, Illinois, Mayor Tiffany Henyard's pick for police chief, Ronnie Burge Sr., was rejected by trustees, continuing a contentious battle over local leadership. Despite the rejection, Burge can serve in a temporary capacity for up to 30 days. Trustees voiced concerns over depleted village funds, revealing that basic supplies, like printer paper, are unaffordable, and voted to return luxury SUVs leased for Henyard's use, costing over $374,000. Henyard, however, promised to veto this decision. Adding to the tension, a former Henyard aide publicly accused Trustee Andrew Holmes of misconduct during a taxpayer-funded Las Vegas trip, although no charges were filed. Undeterred, Henyard declared she would win reelection “in a landslide,” comparing herself to former President Trump. The meeting concluded with promises of a future town hall, leaving the community questioning Dolton's leadership direction.

Send us a textThis podcast episode explores Larry Bird's formative high school years in French Lick, Indiana. Growing up in poverty with a father battling PTSD, Bird developed a sense of grit and determination early on. His older brother's basketball scholarship showed him a path to a different future. The episode tracks Bird's early successes, such as clutch free throws, and how playing under the shadow of Steve Land, a future Indiana University player, pushed him to refine his unique skillset, especially the art of the assist. Local sports writer Jerry Burge becomes a key figure, championing Bird's talent in the Jasper Herald. During Bird's senior year, his physical transformation led to dominant performances and record-breaking stats, generating buzz and even drawing the attention of coach Bob Knight. The episode recounts a legendary, close matchup against Loogootee, a controversial loss, and Bird's initial omission from the Indiana All-State team, which Burge fought hard to rectify. After high school, Bird faced challenges, including his father's passing and a short-lived stint at Indiana University, but ultimately chose to continue his basketball journey at Indiana State. The episode concludes by reflecting on Bird's journey and the potential for overlooked talent, encouraging listeners to recognize greatness in unexpected places.Support the showSupport the Pod or Binge the Entire Season Now! https://www.buzzsprout.com/1269236/support https://youtube.com/@IconicSeasons Connect on Social https://www.instagram.com/ncaaiconicseasons/

The data may surprise you. Multiple studies confirm there is a positive correlation between higher education and church attendance. In other words, the more education you receive, the greater the likelihood you attend regularly in a church. Thom and Sam interview Ryan Burge to get the details about this phenomenon in American religion.

My guest for this series is Paul Wilkinson, the author of Understanding Christian Zionism, and the DVD titled Christian Palestinianism. If you've just joined us in this series, this is program #5 in which we've been evaluating an interview between Hank Hanegraaff and Gary Burge, the author of Whose Land? Whose Promise? What Christians Are Not Being Told about Israel and the Palestinians. Burge is also featured in the DVD documentary With God on Our Side. Since Hanegraaff's program is titled the Bible Answer Man, and what he says implies that he's teaching what the Bible teaches and influencing multitudes of listeners in the process, we felt what he and Burge have presented does indeed need to be challenged to see if they are speaking according to the Scriptures. We pick up with Hank Hanegraaff speaking.

My guest is Paul Wilkinson, and if you've been tracking with us, we have been going through a series of critiquing, evaluating a program by Hank Hanegraaff in which he interviews Dr. Gary Burge, a professor at Wheaton College. And I guess we could say that their perspective, their position, is that they are in support of what's called Christian Palestinianism, much to, in my view, the denigration – actually, it's far worse than that – the denigration of Israel and the distortion of the Scriptures. But that's our perspective. You as listeners, you need to be Bereans. We're going to play again the dialogue between Hanegraaff and Burge, and you decide. You be a Berean and you check these things out.

My guest for this series (we'll probably do a number of programs) is Paul Wilkinson, and we are critiquing together a program which Hank Hanegraaff did with Dr. Gary Burge, a professor at Wheaton College. Dr. Burge champions Christian Palestinianism, and Hank is a big supporter of that. So what we're trying to do is encourage our listeners to, first of all, listen to what Hank and Gary are talking about, and then be Bereans. "Search the scriptures to see if these things are so." So we're going to pick up with a clip from the last few minutes of our program last week, just...you listen to it, and then Paul and I will bring in our evaluation, our critique.

White evangelicals are among the largest voting groups in America. They tend to vote Republican. Has this tendency always been the case? And what about white evangelical Democrats? Ryan Burge joins Thom and Sam on an election season special to discuss evangelical voting trends. The post The Burge Report: What Happened to All the White Evangelical Democrats? appeared first on Church Answers.

In the last two presidential elections about 8 in 10 evangelicals voted for Donald Trump, but can Kamala Harris steal some of those votes in 2024? We discuss the recent “Evangelicals for Harris” call and why it's so difficult to get Christians to think more theologically about politics. Ed Stetzer argues that abortion should still be a top priority when voting, and Tyler Huckabee says we should be uncomfortable endorsing any candidate. Then, Skye talks to New Testament professor, Dr. Gary Burge, about the ongoing Israeli/Palestinian conflict, and what the Bible really says about Israel's claim on the Holy Land.   0:00 - Intro   1:30 - Show Starts and Kaitlyn's Opinion on Vacations   4:53 - Theme Song   5:16 - Sponsor - Go to https://www.fromourplace.com and use code HOLYPOST to get 10% off site wide on beautiful cookware!    6:21 - Sponsor - Blueland - Get up to 15% off your first order by going to https://www.BlueBlueland.com/HOLYPOST   12:21 - Discussing the Evangelicals for Harris Call   21:08 - Jemar Tisby and Thick vs Thin Theology   29:03 - Ed Stetzer and the Umpire Analogy   33:30 - Which Party is Better for the Pro-Life Movement?   43:40 - Phil's TwiXter on Watching Political Conventions as a Nonpartisan   48:14 -  Sponsor - Faithful Counseling - This episode is sponsored by Faithful Counseling.

How bad is the job dissatisfaction level of pastors? More than half of pastors have considered leaving their jobs. What are the leading causes? Stress, isolation, and political division top the list. However, 71% of pastors moderately or completely agree that their lives are close to ideal. What's going on here? Ryan Burge joins Thom and Sam to discuss the true misery level of pastors. The post The Burge Report: The True Misery Level of Pastors in America appeared first on Church Answers.

Remember when churches were seeker-sensitive? The goal was to grow by welcoming newcomers, skeptics, and non-believers. But now it seems some evangelical churches and denominations are more worried about ideological purity than outreach. Sociologist, political scientists, and pastor Ryan Burge is back to talk about the self-defeating trend toward subtraction rather than addition in the church. Also this week, the Southern Baptists decide not to ban all women pastors…yet. Megan Basham claims evangelical leaders aren't selling out to conservative constituents, but to gain the approval of liberal elites. Death cafes open in L.A., and the Swiss are making tiny computers from brain cells.
