I am SO excited about this episode. I got to sit down with Rian Johnson to talk about Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery, and honestly? This might be my favorite conversation I've had all year. Not just because it's a blast of a film (which it absolutely is), but because Rian brought so much theological depth and personal wrestling to this project. I'm always looking for that sweet spot where great storytelling meets profound questions about faith, power, community, and what it means to be human. This film? It's the jackpot. I literally told Rian I now have an excuse to show a movie I genuinely enjoy in class and call it “movie day.” You can WATCH the conversation on YouTube The Film: Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery is now streaming on Netflix. Watch it. It's spectacular. Rian Johnson is an acclaimed writer-director best known for creating the Knives Out mystery franchise, including Knives Out (2019), Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery (2022), and Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery (2025). His work is characterized by genre-bending storytelling that weaves together intricate plots with deep thematic exploration. Johnson's other notable films include Brick (2005), a neo-noir set in a high school; Looper (2012), a science fiction thriller; and Star Wars: The Last Jedi (2017). He also directed several critically acclaimed episodes of Breaking Bad, including the Emmy-winning “Ozymandias.” Raised in the evangelical church, Johnson draws on his formative religious experiences to explore themes of grace, moral complexity, and the tension between reason and faith in his work. He cites influences ranging from G.K. Chesterton's Father Brown mysteries to Carl Jung and Joseph Campbell's work on storytelling and myth. Known for his meticulous approach to storytelling—he still writes his screenplays longhand in notebooks—Johnson creates films that function as both wildly entertaining genre exercises and thoughtful examinations of contemporary moral and social questions. ⁠Join us at Theology Beer Camp, October 8-10, in Kansas City!⁠⁠ ⁠UPCOMING ONLINE CLASS: The Rise of the Nones⁠ One-third of Americans now claim no religious affiliation. That's 100 million people.  But here's what most church leaders get wrong: they're not all the same. Some still believe in God. Some are actively searching. Some are quietly indifferent. Some think religion is harmful.  Ryan Burge & Tony Jones have conducted the first large-scale survey of American "Nones", which reveals 4 distinct categories—each requiring a different approach. Understanding the difference could transform everything from your ministry to your own spiritual quest. ⁠Get info & join the donation-based class (including 0) here.⁠ This podcast is a ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Homebrewed Christianity ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠production.

John and Aaron discuss their review experience with the Chesterton and Co. Pints with Aquinas Toro https://developingpalates.com/reviews/cigar-reviews/team-cigar-review-chesterton-and-co-pints-with-aquinas-toro/

Chesterton mostly lost me after Arthur and Alfred, but I feel like I got his point in spite of that. A Short History of England By: G.K. Chesterton Published: 1917 107 Pages Briefly, what is this book about? The book is titled the "History of England", but it's really a book about the soul of England. Chesterton examines this soul chronologically from the "Age of Legends" down to the time the book was written, which happened to be the middle of World War I. What's the author's angle? It's Chesterton, so there's obviously a religious angle, and a traditional cultural angle. Even expecting this, I was surprised by how much he missed the old guild system, and other features of medieval life. There's a lot of anti-rich sentiment in the book, but he's also no socialist either.  Who should read this book? I don't think it's practical or even wise to read everything Chesterton wrote, but I have a vague goal to read most of what he's written. Even then I'm pretty sure that knowing then what I know now I would have advised myself to skip this book, or at least only read the first few chapters.  The big problem is that Chesterton is not dispensing English history (contra the title) he's interpreting it. He assumes you already know a ton of history, and he's just going to tie it together in a new way. I'm sure a highly educated Englishman in 1917 would have had no problem with Chesterton's references, but 100 years on, this poor American was frequently completely lost. Here's an example: It will be apparent, when I deal with that period, that I do not palliate the real unreason in divine right as Filmer and some of the pedantic cavaliers construed it. They professed the impossible ideal of "non-resistance" to any national and legitimate power; though I cannot see that even that was so servile and superstitious as the more modern ideal of "non-resistance" even to a foreign and lawless power. But the seventeenth century was an age of sects, that is of fads; and the Filmerites made a fad of divine right. Who or what is Filmer and the Filmerites? One could look it up (apparently it refers to a 17th century political theorist, Robert Filmer) but you're not going to get any information from the book. This selection, with its two references, is the first and last time the name shows up.  I'll tell you what I got out of the book and you can go from there, but as a general matter I wouldn't recommend reading this book. It has all the normal Chesterton witticisms and turns of phrase, but there are easier places to get those.

The doctrine of the virgin birth is one of the key doctrines of the Christian faith. Chesterton says that the Creed is like a key that unlocks the world, and as with any key, every ridge and angle matters. The virgin birth is not merely “another cool miracle,” like the healings of blind men or walking on water. The virgin birth is central to our salvation.The Text: “…Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying, Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us…” (Mt. 1:18-25)King's Cross Church is a member congregation of the CREC in Moscow, ID.

In this episode I dive into an excerpt from G.K Chesterton's essay, The Emancipation of Domesticity, which gives us an important insight about the roles of men and women. Chesterton argued that men are specialists and women are generalists and paired with the greater male variability, we can use this insight to uncover many of the cultural, domestic, and social issues that exist between us.Listen in to learn about what Chesterton thought a woman's duty was, why the west have the most free women on the planet, why modern women want to quit their high-status outside of the home jobs, why women are more geared towards generalization, and much more.TIMESTAMPS:00:00 — Intro: Ancient Intelligence01:22 — Announcement: True North Mastermind for Men 02:53 — G.K.

Send us a textIn this second installment of our Advent 2025 series, Tim and Steve reflect on the Advent theme of peace—not a passive feeling, but a bold, active calling to become peacemakers in a world marked by anxiety, division, and injustice.Drawing from Scripture, the Church Fathers, and personal stories, they explore what it means to receive Christ's supernatural peace and extend it to others.

Anglický spisovateľ Chesterton povedal: „Keď človek prestane veriť v Boha, nie je to tak, že neverí ničomu. Verí hocičomu.“ Prázdnota v kultúre bez Boha, nedostatok zmyslu a s ním spojený nepokoj, sú dverami pre diablov návrat, ako o tom hovorí Ježiš: „Keď nečistý duch vyjde z človeka, blúdi po miestach bez vody a hľadá odpočinok, […] Curt Westman

The twentieth century is understood as an era of growing, inexorable secularism, yet in Britain between the 1890s and the 1960s there was a marked turn to Rome. In the first half of the century, Catholicism became an intellectual and spiritual fashion attracting more than half a million converts, including fascinating artists, writers, and thinkers. What drew these men and women to join the church, and what difference did conversion make to them? In Converts: From Oscar Wilde to Muriel Spark, Why So Many Became Catholic in the 20th Century (Yale UP, 2025), Melanie McDonagh examines the lives of these notable converts from the perspective of their faith. For the Decadent circle of Aubrey Beardsley and Oscar Wilde—who converted on his deathbed—artists such as Gwen John and David Jones, the philosopher Elizabeth Anscombe, and novelists including G. K. Chesterton, Graham Greene, Evelyn Waugh, and Muriel Spark, Catholicism offered stability in increasingly febrile times. McDonagh explores their lives and influences, the reaction to their conversions, and the priests who initiated them into their faith. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

“It is possible that God says every morning, ‘Do it again' to the sun.” —G.K. Chesterton

Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874–1936) é frequentemente celebrado como um dos mais espirituosos defensores do cristianismo tradicional no início do século XX. Sua prosa brilhante, sua teologia paradoxal e sua crítica ao racionalismo moderno conquistaram admiradores de diversas tradições religiosas. Convertido ao catolicismo em 1922, Chesterton tornou-se um apologista fervoroso da fé cristã clássica, da ortodoxia doutrinária e da centralidade da tradição ocidental. No entanto, embora seu zelo religioso e suas críticas ao secularismo ofereçam contribuições importantes ao debate cultural, o pensamento social e eclesiológico de Chesterton também traz perigos específicos à fé adventista. Seu apego à tradição e à imaginação como vias primárias para a ordem, sua exaltação do catolicismo romano e seu romantismo histórico sobre a Igreja institucionalizada confrontam aspectos fundamentais da missão profética, da escatologia bíblica e da estrutura representativa da Igreja Adventista do Sétimo Dia. Este episódio busca uma análise crítica e equilibrada. Em cada parte, será destacado tanto o que há de útil no pensamento de Chesterton para a manutenção da ordem na comunidade de fé quanto os riscos que sua teologia tradicionalista e sua visão cultural de Igreja representam para a missão escatológica adventista.

One Year Bible Podcast: Join Hunter and Heather Barnes on 'The Daily Radio Bible' for a daily 20-minute spiritual journey. Engage with scripture readings, heartfelt devotionals, and collective prayers that draw you into the heart of God's love. Embark on this year-long voyage through the Bible, and let each day's passage uplift and inspire you. TODAY'S EPISODE: Welcome to the Daily Radio Bible! In today's episode, Hunter—your Bible Reading Coach—takes us through Psalms 122 and First Corinthians chapters 9 to 11. Together, we reflect on what it truly means to follow the living Word, Jesus, as we journey through scripture. Hunter emphasizes the importance of waiting for one another, serving with humility, and preferring others above ourselves, especially as we gather for communion. Alongside powerful readings and thoughtful meditation, you'll join in prayer, hear encouragement from G.K. Chesterton, and be reminded that you are deeply loved. So settle in, breathe deep, and let's allow these ancient words to guide us into a slower, more gracious way of living today. TODAY'S DEVOTION: Wait for each other. Slow down. Don't scramble to get yours, but see to it that others are served. That's the message at the heart of today's scripture and the encouragement found in Hunter's devotional reflection. Waiting is not something most of us want to do. Our world, our churches, even our relationships often suffer because we fail to wait for one another—we find it difficult to prefer others above ourselves, sometimes even at a simple meal. Yet, as Hunter reminds us, this is precisely what Jesus did the night he was betrayed. He served, he waited on his disciples. He was their waiter; he gave of himself on their behalf. In doing this, Jesus set the humble example for us all: to wait, to serve, to give ourselves for the sake of others. When we take this posture, remembering Christ by serving and preferring others, we make room for the Holy Spirit to work—not just in our own lives, but in the life of the church. Waiting becomes a simple spiritual discipline, one that opens us up to experience Christ's life and participate with him in his transforming work. Paul's words in 1 Corinthians challenge us: "When you gather for the Lord's Supper, wait for each other." It's simple, but necessary. Waiting reflects a posture that allows Christ alone to do what only he can do among us. As we gather in our churches, as we share at the Lord's table, let us be reminded to wait, to serve, to learn to give ourselves for others. That's a prayer Hunter has for his own soul, for his family—his wife, daughters, and son—and for you. May we learn to live this out in our homes, our communities, and our daily lives. May it be so. TODAY'S PRAYERS: Daily Prayer (November 11th, 2025) Lord of life, you have awakened me again to the gift of this day. You go before me, walk beside me and dwell within me. Let me walk slowly in your presence. May I resist the hurried spirit of this world and instead breathe deep of your peace. Open my eyes to beauty, my ears to your voice, and my heart to the quiet work of grace. Help me not to strive, but to abide, not to achieve, but to receive. Today. Let my words carry your kindness. My actions reflect your mercy. My thoughts be anchored in your truth that I am yours and you are with me. Amen. And now as our Lord has taught us we are bold to pray... Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom come thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven, give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our tresspasses as we forgive those who trespass against us, and lead us not unto temptation, but deliver us from evil, for thine is the Kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen. Loving God, we give you thanks for restoring us in your image. And nourishing us with spiritual food, now send us forth as forgiven people, healed and renewed, that we may proclaim your love to the world, and continue in the risen life of Christ.  Amen.  OUR WEBSITE: www.dailyradiobible.com We are reading through the New Living Translation.   Leave us a voicemail HERE: https://www.speakpipe.com/dailyradiobible Subscribe to us at YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@Dailyradiobible/featured OTHER PODCASTS: Listen with Apple Podcast DAILY BIBLE FOR KIDS DAILY PSALMS DAILY PROVERBS DAILY LECTIONARY DAILY CHRONOLOGICAL

There should be no contradiction in pursuing hard sciences, humanities, and moral virtue all in one day. For upper schoolers switching classrooms every hour, or for teachers siloed in a single subject, it can be easy to mistake “education” for a series of distinct academic categories. In this rebroadcast from 2015, Upper School Head Michael Moynihan gives us a better framework. He urges us to look at how our school's different departments present a unified and infinitively connective worldview—one that invites inquisitive engagement and exercises the full scope of human reason.

There is no magic formula to making the perfect decision every time, but there are philosophical principles, or "razors," you can use to pare down your options and see your problem more clearly. These razors can cut through the clutter of complexity and help us see the forest for the trees. And while they weren't designed with parents in mind, they can come in pretty handy! Starting with the most famous, Occam's Razor, we discuss how paring away unlikely hypotheticals leads to the most accurate solutions. Next, we delve into Hanlon's Razor, which reminds us to avoid attributing malicious intent when there's a simpler explanation. This principle can help us avoid unnecessary conflict and foster understanding, especially in relationships. Then we discuss Hitchens' Razor, which places the burden of proof on the person making the claim. This can be a valuable tool for evaluating arguments and avoiding baseless assertions. We also explore Chesterton's Fence, which encourages us to be cautious about changing things without understanding their original purpose. But that's not all. Listen to the episode to hear the rest, and let us know your own rules for clearer thinking!

The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – Sadly, it seems that public education is more about learning what to think rather than how to think. Based on many of the discussions I've had across the country, critical thinking seems to be a skill many Americans have lost. I believe G.K. Chesterton once described our situation perfectly: “When men choose not to believe in God, they do not thereafter...
