We're back from our hiatus and ready to celebrate summer—and nothing says summer in the United States quite like the 4th of July. This year, we're revisiting "Centennial", a poignant and eerily prescient episode we believe everyone should watch. It's a powerful reminder for those who may have lost sight of the promise of America—both in these turbulent times and in difficult eras past.Far from your typical holiday celebration, "Centennial", starring the incomparable Theodore Bikel, sneaks up on you like a shadow at sunset—quiet, slow, and suddenly all around you. Its message feels more vital than ever, delving into themes of patriotism vs. dissent, economic hardship and civic disillusionment, the immigrant experience, and the enduring ideals of democracy. In the darkest moments, it's easy to lose hope—but this episode offers light and perspective to anyone feeling disheartened by today's world.

I mean, would you really be upset at a starving kid for taking food? It's technically illegal, but if we had the means to feed the kid, maybe it's society's fault that the kid is so hungry to begin with, ya know?

After the events of "Hegemony Part I & II", Strange New Worlds pivots, as it has in the past, to a more whimsical episode. Don't let "Wedding Bell Blues" fool you, this episode is still full of drama. The awkward arrival of Nurse Chapel after a 3 month fellowship with Dr. Korby leaves Spock in an awkward position as she brings home a "date" for the celebration of the Federation's Centennial birthday. What ensues following her arrival is drama, a love triangle, and a VERY surprising 'Wedding Planner' who would appear to be more than meets the eye....especially at the end.

SUMMARY In this episode of The Faith & Work Podcast, Ross Chapman welcomes Robin John, CEO of Eventide Asset Management, to discuss his new book The Good Investor: How Your Work Can Confront Injustice, Love Your Neighbor, and Bring Healing to the World. Robin shares how his personal journey—from growing up in India to working in finance—shaped his vision for investing that advances the common good. He offers a biblical framework for aligning your financial decisions with values that honor human dignity and promote justice. This conversation invites you to see investing not just as a way to grow wealth, but as a meaningful opportunity to join God's redemptive work in the world. HIGHLIGHTS On values "...it doesn't matter what Robin John's values are. What I really want to do is to try to explain what I see in the Bible. What are the values that I see God wanting us to promote in the world? And ultimately, the freedom and dignity of all people is something that really matters to God. And so life at all stages, it's very much connected to that as well. And so for us, we want to be investing in companies that promote life, that promote dignity, that promote freedom, and that could mean freedom from addiction." On generosity "Our generosity should be holistic. You know, when a person chooses to be a teacher, when they can become an investment banker, they've made a decision to love their community. That is God-honoring decision. Maybe the investment banker can make more and give more, but generosity, think as Christians, we have to be careful not to measure generosity only by what we give away. It's how we live our lives. It's where we choose to work, how we choose to work, how we choose to make our money, where we choose to invest or allocate capital. These are all generosity decisions. And then we should give away our money as well. That's part of generosity."

SynopsisOn today's date in 1876, America was celebrating its Centennial, and the place to be was in Philadelphia, where a Centennial Exhibition was in progress. This was the first World's Fair to be held in the United States. It drew 9 million visitors–this at a time when the entire population of the U.S. was 46 million.The Exhibition had opened in May with a concert attended by President and Mrs. Ulysses S. Grant. After “Hail to the Chief,” the orchestra premiered a specially commissioned “Centennial March” by the famous German composer Richard Wagner. Wagner was paid $5000 for the commission, an astronomically high fee in those days. Wagner did not bother to attend the Philadelphia premiere, and privately told friends back: “Between you and me, the best thing about the march was the $5000 they paid me.”The following month, the French composer Jacques Offenbach arrived to conduct his music at a specially constructed open-air pavilion. “They asked my permission to call it ‘Offenbach Gardens,'” the composer later wrote. “How could I refuse?” The concertmaster of Offenbach's orchestra, by the way, was a 21-year old violinist from Washington, D.C. by the name of John Philip Sousa.Music Played in Today's ProgramRichard Wagner (1813 - 1883) — American Centennial March (Philip Jones Ensemble; Elgar Howarth, cond.)
