No deja de sorprendernos la gran cantidad de novelas de asesinatos, escritas por mujeres. "La gran dama del crimen" británica, después de Agatha Christie, es para muchos, P. D. James (1920-2014). Esta escritora de historias de detectives al estilo clásico inglés, está en la tradición de autores cristianos como G. K. Chesterton o Dorothy Sayers, que han mostrado su fe en la manera compasiva que tienen de mirar al asesino. El libro que muestra más claramente su cristianismo es "Hijos de Hombres" (1992), llevado al cine por el director mexicano Alfonso Cuarón. Esta historia futurista nos muestra una sociedad tan cercana como que la fecha en 2021, cuando una terrible pandemia ha dejado estéril a la mayor parte de la humanidad. Al comenzar ese año, muere en una pelea el último ser humano, un joven de dieciocho años, en un bar de Buenos Aires y el hombre parece condenado a su destrucción. Este cuadro apocalíptico, sin embargo, no está marcado por la desesperanza, sino que de él emerge un destello de luz que revela la fe de la autora. En este programa de radio "Al Trasluz" escuchamos fragmentos del libro, leído por Iñigo Álvarez de Lara y de la versión doblada al castellano de la película "Los hijos de los hombres" de 2006, interpretada por Clive Owen, Julianne Moore y Michael Caine. Oímos a la autora misma hablando sobre su libro con Sarah Crown del diario The Guardian y sobre su relación con las parábolas de Jesús en una entrevista con el canónigo preceptor de la catedral anglicana de San Pablo en Londres, Michael Hampel. La música, el diseño sonoro y la realización técnica es de Daniel Panduro, el texto y la locución de José de Segovia.

Progresismo y conservadurismo: ¿son de verdad dos enfermedades de la sociedad, o dos funciones que se necesitan la una a la otra? En este episodio parto de una vieja valla en medio del campo, la parábola que Chesterton contó hace casi cien años, para hablar de por qué querer cambiarlo todo sin preguntar antes puede salir muy caro.Con las ideas de John Stuart Mill, Jonathan Haidt y Thomas Sowell, y ejemplos que van desde la España del siglo XX hasta Afganistán, cuento por qué necesito a alguien que no piense como yo.¿Tú te consideras más de conservar o de cambiar? ¿O quizás las dos cosas conviven dentro de ti, como me pasa a mí?00:00 La parábola de la valla de Chesterton – Intermediate Spanish01:20 Progresismo y conservadurismo: dos funciones, no dos enfermedades – Comprehensible Input in Spanish03:20 Conservador, reaccionario y la trampa de arrasarlo todo – Spanish Culture Podcast05:40 Mill y Haidt: por qué necesitamos las dos fuerzas – Learn Spanish Naturally07:40 Sowell y la ley del péndulo: gestionar en lugar de resolver – Spanish Learning Podcast09:50 España: el péndulo del siglo XX – Spanish for Intermediate Learners11:10 Isabel Allende: por qué la historia no vuelve al mismo sitio – Real Spanish Conversation13:30 Afganistán y la condición para que el sistema funcione – Authentic Spanish Listening16:10 El conservadurismo de César: la valla, el mercado, el bar – Immersive Spanish17:40 El español, un idioma en tensión constante – Spanish Listening PracticeFree eBooks: Habla español con AI & La guía del estudiante de españolMis cursos online:Español Camaleón - A REALISTIC pronunciation courseEspañol Ágil - Intermediate SpanishEspañol PRO - Advanced SpanishEspañol Claro - Upper-beginner SpanishSi no sabes cuál es mejor para ti, haz el TEST.Intermediate Spanish Podcast with Free Transcript & Vocabulary Flashcards www.spanishlanguagecoach.com - Aprende español escuchando contenido natural adaptado para estudiantes de español de nivel intermedio.Si es la primera vez que escuchas este podcast, puedes usarlo como un podcast diario para aprender español - Learn Spanish Daily Podcast with Spanish Language CoachSocial media:YouTubeInstagram...

https://www.bibleserver.com/NeÜ/1.Petrus1,1-12Ermutigung in unsicheren Zeiten Teil 1Die damaligen Christen lebten mit der Gegenwart der Verfolgung, Ausgrenzung und Diskriminierung.Leben in einer Welt, die sich nicht (mehr) an christlichen Werten orientiert : “Es schreibt Petrus, ein Apostel von Jesus Christus. An die von Gott Erwählten, die wie Fremde unter ihren Landsleuten leben, und zwar in Pontus, Galatien, Kappadozien, der Asia und in Bithynien.“ 1.Petrus 1,1 NeÜ. Ensuring unserer heutigen Situation.1. Wir haben Hoffnung → unsere Hoffnung liegt in Jesus Christus!„In seiner großen Barmherzigkeit hat er uns wiedergeboren und uns durch die Auferstehung von Jesus Christus aus den Toten eine lebendige Hoffnung geschenkt.“ 1.Petrus 1,3 NeÜ„Ein makelloses Erbe hält er im Himmel für euch bereit, das nie vergehen wird und seinen Wert nie verliert. 1.Petrus 1,4 NeÜ2. Wir haben Herausforderungen„Darüber freut ihr euch, obwohl ihr jetzt für kurze Zeit ganz unterschiedlichen Prüfungen ausgesetzt seid und manches Schwere durchmacht.“ 1.Petrus 1,6 NeÜwas ist die “kurze Zeit”? → Tage, Monate,Jahren? Vergleich zur Ewigkeit?Welche Prüfungen, Leiden sind gemeint?Lässt Gott diese Prüfungen zu?Für die Empfänger vom Petrusbrief war es vor allem das Leiden darunter, als Fremde in einer nichtchristlichen Gesellschaft unterwegs zu sein.→ Was ist die Herausforderung, in der wir heute als Christen leben?Kritik und Skepzis an allgemeinen Dingen : „Wir werden bald in einer Welt leben, in der ein Mensch ausgelacht oder zum Schweigen gebracht wird, nur weil er sagt, dass zwei und zwei vier ergibt. In der wütende Proteste gegen jemanden aufsteigen, der behauptet, Kühe hätten Hörner, in der man das Ketzerische sieht, wenn jemand ein Dreieck als dreiseitige Figur bezeichnet und in der man einen Mann hinrichten würde, weil er die Menge damit verwirrt, dass das Gras grün ist.“ G.K. Chesterton, On Modern Controversy, ILN, 14.August 1926Was vertreten wir heutzutage?Fühlen wir uns fremd in dieser Welt?→ Leben wir noch als „Fremde“ in dieser Welt – oder haben wir uns zurückgezogen – oder angepasst?Jesus selbst hat uns hier etwas anderes vorgelebt. Er lebte mitten in der Gesellschaft seiner Zeit – und war doch Fremder.„Doch dadurch soll sich euer Glaube bewähren, und es wird sich zeigen, dass er wertvoller ist als das vergängliche Gold, das ja auch durch Feuer geprüft wird.“ 1.Petrus 1,7, NeÜWelche Punkte in meinem Leben sind es, an denen sichtbar wird, dass Jesus mein Herr ist? Woran erkennt mein Nachbar, dass ich Christ bin? Woran meine Freunde?→ Mein Christ-Sein zeigt sich daran, dass mein ganzes Leben von Jesus geprägt wird.Aber leider wird das an vielen Stellen gar nicht so offensichtlich, dass es mit Jesus zusammenhängt – oder ich bringe auch nicht den Mut auf und lebe, wie ich (als Christ) eigentlich leben sollte.3. Wir haben Freude.„Darüber freut ihr euch, obwohl ihr jetzt für kurze Zeit ganz unterschiedlichen Prüfungen ausgesetzt seid und manches Schwere durchmacht.“ 1.Petrus 1,6 NeÜ„Ihn liebt ihr ja, obwohl ihr ihn noch nie gesehen habt, an ihn glaubt ihr, obgleich ihr ihn auch jetzt nicht seht, und jubelt in unsagbarer, von Herrlichkeit erfüllter Freude.“ 1.Petrus 1,8 NeÜ„Und weil ihr an ihn glaubt, bewahrt euch Gott in seiner Macht für die Rettung, die schon vorbereitet ist, um dann in der letzten Zeit offenbar zu werden.“ 1.Petrus 1,5 NeÜGott ist der Handelnde, nicht wir sind es. Er rettet, nicht wir uns selbst → wir müssen vertrauen und folgen. Treue zu Jesus Christus Zeugen ⇒ Freude!

You were taught to win. Nobody taught you how to fail. So when failure shows up, most men do the one thing they cannot afford to do: they shrink back.Here's where this episode lands: failure is not optional. You will fail. The only question is whether you fail forward toward Christ or quit and call it wisdom.In this episode of the Kavod Man of God Podcast, Casey Wilson, Justin Bohner, and Travis Shook get into how to fail like a man: pushing through mistakes, sin, and setbacks in a way that produces growth instead of retreat, in the gym, in business, in parenting, and in the hardest room of all, your marriage.Inside this conversation:- Failure is perspective: if you fall and go to God, that is growth. Failure is quitting- The gym clock story: what Travis's son learned about the quitting muscle, and how that muscle follows a man into his marriage and his work- Why the big failures that make the news are held up by a hundred small ones nobody sees- Adam in the garden: the fruit got eaten because the snake's head never got cut off- Romans 8:28: shrinking back from risk is actually denying that all things work together for good- Praying next to a wife who faced the other way: Justin's years of nightly faithfulness that looked like failure, and where it landed last night- Family worship will be a disaster at first: why your kids cannot sit still yet, and why God is not mad at you- "What did you fail at today?": the question that kills the fear of failure in your kids- Reps and go to God: the whole plan for communication, parenting, and everything else- Chesterton on courage: a strong desire to live taking the form of a readiness to dieYou are going to drop some eggs making the omelette. That was never the question. The question is whether you know who you are when it happens: not a failure, a son. So take the swing, go to God, and take the swing again."No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us." Romans 8:37God has saved you and made you a man in His image. Follow His Son. Take responsibility. Die daily. Grow and mature so you can lead and rule your family well. Get after it this week.———If this stirred something in you, don't just consume it. Live it. Then hand it to another man who needs it.Subscribe and walk with us every week as we call men up to who God made them to be.———→ Everything Kavod (articles, resources, programs): kavodfamilyministries.org/links→ Connect: info@kavodfamily.org

Una tarde de verano, un baño en la piscina, pantalón corto, un gintonic bien frío y el humo de la pipa. En este ambiente relajado y sin filtros, Jesús Beades recibe en Radio Beades al grandísimo poeta y traductor asturiano José Luis Piquero.En esta conversación de amigos pasamos revista a toda una vida entregada a las palabras.

G.K. Chesterton gave an entire quarter of What's Wrong with the World to what he called the mistake about the child, and his verdict was blunt: the schoolmaster works not for the parent but against him. In this solo back-to-school episode, Joe Grabowski follows that argument through to the line Chesterton offers as the whole purpose of teaching—to pour that fiery simplicity upon the whole of life—and asks what it would take to recover the childlike wonder Chesterton insisted was education's only real aim. What's in This Episode: Why G.K. Chesterton opened What's Wrong with the World with a chapter about medicine, and what a doctor's knowledge of a healthy body has to do with schools The chapter Chesterton titled The Outlawed Parent, where he charges that the schoolmaster works against the parent rather than for him The single sentence Chesterton offers as the only real aim of education, and why it is easy to miss in a book this quotable What Chesterton meant in In Defence of Baby Worship by a new universe inside every child's head, and why it does not make him an idealist The passage in Orthodoxy where Chesterton imagines God saying "do it again" to the sun every morning Resources Mentioned: What's Wrong with the World Orthodoxy The Everlasting Man The Defendant Chesterton Schools Network Chapters: 00:00: Introduction 00:30: Back to school, and what education is actually for 02:29: The medical mistake, and why we stopped asking what is right 04:47: Education, or the mistake about the child 07:42: Parents standing up at school board meetings 09:33: The Chesterton Schools Network 11:59: The only real aim of education 14:18: Keeping familiarity from breeding contempt 19:08: In Defence of Baby Worship, and a new universe in every head 21:31: The delight children take in inventing words 23:48: Man the sign maker, and Walker Percy on language 26:11: The eternal appetite of infancy FOLLOW US Instagram Facebook X SUPPORT Donate Shop Produced by Saint Kolbe Studios

‘Childe Roland to the Dark Tower Came' has baffled readers and critics ever since it was published in Men and Women in 1855. It baffled its author, too. It ‘came upon me as a kind of dream', Browning recalled. ‘I had to write it then and there, and I finished it the same day.' The result, inspired by a line spoken by Edgar (as Poor Tom) in Act III of King Lear, is a grim, hallucinatory quest poem that exemplifies Browning's talent for what G.K. Chesterton called ‘the poetry of mean landscapes'. In this episode, Seamus and Mark read Browning's mysterious poem as a rejection of the resources and consolations established by the Romantics. They then turn to an earlier narrative poem, ‘The Pied Piper of Hamelin' (1843), in which Browning uses a comical, Byronic tone to tell the story of another prophetic figure.

The hardest part of becoming Catholic is often not the doctrine. It is the moment a friendship, a marriage, or a family table starts to feel the strain. In this episode, Greg talks about recent conversations with listeners and people in OCIA whose families experience their interest in the Church as a rupture—and about his own long friendships with Protestant and evangelical colleagues, some of them thirty or forty years old, that have never quite recovered from his conversion. The usual peace offering is kind, and it is tempting: you found a deeper spirituality, the beauty, the smells and bells, a style that works for you. Greg names why that olive branch can still feel like a rewrite of the real reason, and why Chesterton's old sentence still seems the only adequate one: because it is true. This is not a guide to winning the argument at dinner. It is about telling the truth without hurling anathemas, and loving people without agreeing to a smaller story about why you left.

On the feasts of Saints Monica and Augustine, Grettelyn Darkey and Joe Grabowski trace G.K. Chesterton's long road into the Catholic Church, beginning with his 1903 newspaper battle with Blatchford and McCabe and ending at the sacramental hesitation that held him back until 1922. They show why Chesterton refused to hang his belief on one or two arguments, and why a man for whom every daisy was already a miracle found it hardest to meet God in one particular priest. The takeaway is a habit any reader can practice: reading the world for connections, on the saints' feasts and on every other day of the year. In This Episode: Why Chesterton fits no single school. He is Augustinian, Thomistic, Franciscan, and Scotistic at once What Chesterton actually told McCabe about the "two great pegs" his conversion supposedly hung on Why fear, not doubt, marked Chesterton's final approach—and how it echoes Augustine's "not yet" The sacramental hurdle for a man who already found God in sunshine and daisies A Chestertonian habit to practice: connecting the unlikely and reading everything for truth Resources Mentioned: The Catholic Church and Conversion Orthodoxy The Man Who Was Thursday The City of God (St. Augustine) Episode art image credit: Nheyob, CC BY-SA 4.0, via Wikimedia Commons Chapters: 00:00: Introduction 00:33: Welcome and Today's Topic 01:48: Why Chesterton Resists Every Label 05:30: The First Conversion and the Blatchford Controversy 10:38: Reading from The Catholic Church and Conversion 12:29: Fear, Not Doubt 14:52: The Sacraments as the Last Step 17:34: Free Will and the Marriage Metaphor 19:39: Augustine's Search and the Grace Behind It 23:09: Restlessness and the Search for Peace 27:07: The Policeman, the Anarchist, and the Fence 33:35: How to Become Chestertonian FOLLOW US: Instagram Facebook X SUPPORT: Donate Shop Produced by Saint Kolbe Studios

Dr. Gavin Ashenden joins Peter to explore Jesus' prayer for unity in John 17 and why the Catholic Church uniquely preserves the one Church Christ founded through apostolic authority, the Mass, and Petrine headship.  He contrasts this with Protestantism's proliferation of denominations and reflects on his own journey into Catholicism in 2019.   The conversation turns to the upcoming March for Life UK, the Catholic Church's unbroken opposition to abortion from the earliest Christian writings, and Gavin's personal awakening to the scale of terminations in Britain.  They also discuss righteous anger, the muted Christian public witness in the UK, demographic and cultural change, the loss of shared Christian memory, and why only a coherent, unified Church can effectively confront today's ideological pressures.   Gavin Ashenden began life intending to become a lawyer but was instead ordained as an Anglican priest, serving ten years in London parishes. After postgraduate work in the Psychology of Religion, he spent 23 years as a university chaplain and senior lecturer, with a PhD on the Oxford Inklings, teaching literature, psychology, and monotheistic mysticism. In the 1980s he smuggled Bibles and medicine to dissident Christians behind the Iron Curtain, including Catholic seminarians in Czechoslovakia, and endured arrests by Communist security services. He served on the Church of England's General Synod for twenty years, was Chaplain to the Queen for nine years, and presented a BBC Faith and Ethics radio programme for four years. He became a Catholic in 2019 and served as Associate Editor of the Catholic Herald. Influenced by recusant English Catholics, St John Henry Newman, and G.K. Chesterton, he has written for The Times, Daily Telegraph, Daily Mail, and other outlets, and spoken at conferences across Europe and America. Connect with Gavin...

Steve Cunningham sits down with Dr. Alan Harrelson of The Pipe Cottage for a wide-ranging conversation on Catholicism, Southern culture, agrarianism, history, faith, family, and the possibility of a new Southern renaissance.Why does the American South still matter? What can Southern agrarianism teach a modern culture dominated by centralization, technology, urbanization, and the loss of local community?Dr. Harrelson discusses his conversion to Catholicism, his South Carolina roots, the influence of M. E. Bradford, Donald Davidson, Clyde Wilson, John Shelton Reed, the Southern Agrarians, Russell Kirk, Chesterton, Belloc, and others who defended the importance of tradition, place, agriculture, self-government, and the “permanent things.”The conversation also explores the Confederacy, slavery, historical memory, states' rights, centralized government, Catholic social teaching, subsidiarity, Southern literature, the importance of knowing where your people came from, and why younger Southerners increasingly want to rediscover their heritage.Dr. Harrelson also introduces the Bradford Institute and its inaugural gathering at Seabrook Island, South Carolina, featuring scholars devoted to Southern history, literature, culture, and conservative thought.Above everything else, Harrelson emphasizes that faith comes first: history and culture matter because they can help us better understand man, community, creation, and God.Topics: Catholicism • Southern History • Southern Agrarianism • M.E.

The Man Who Was Thursday was written by Gilbert Keith Chesterton in 1908 and is described as a metaphysical thriller. It is also one of the greatest Catholic novels of the 20th Century. Gabriel Syme, a poet detective, infiltrates a secret society of anarchists to try to foil their plans of world destruction. Gregorio Montejo returns as a guest to discuss this miraculous novel. We discuss Chesterton's use of paradox, why the novel is called a nightmare, the color red, and so much more!Follow Gregorio on Twitter.com @KtistecPDo yourself a favor and subscribe to Gregorio's substack Past Masters and read his essay on Chesterton here: *************************************************************************************************************Follow me on Twitter @AaronIrberSubscribe to my YouTube channel https://www.youtube.com/@imightbelieveinfaeries7563Subscribe to my Substack - for updates on the show, essays, and more!Donate to my Patreon - I Might Believe in Faeries https://www.patreon.com/imightbelieveinfaeriesLike my Facebook page - I Might Believe in FaeriesBattle Of The Creek by Alexander Nakarada | https://www.serpentsoundstudios.comMusic promoted by https://www.free-stock-music.comAttribution 4.0 International (CC BY 4.0)https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/Logo Art by Linnea KisbyThis podcast and its content may not be used for training and developing A.I. systems without permission.************************************************************************************************************* This is a public episode.

In this episode I talked with Dr. Dale Ahlquist. Dr. Ahlquist is the foremost leader in Chestertonian studies in the world. He is President of the Society of Gilbert Keith Chesterton. He is the creator and host of the EWTN television series, “The Apostle of Common Sense.” He is the author of eight books, the editor of sixteen more books, and Publisher of Gilbert magazine. He is the co-founder of the first Chesterton Academy, a classical Catholic high school in Hopkins, Minnesota, which gave birth to the growing Chesterton Schools Network that now includes over 70 schools in the U.S. and nine other countries. In our interview, we discussed G.K. Chesterton's economic theory called localism. Dr. Ahlquist explains what localism is, why it's fundamentally different from Communism and Socialism, and why it's the most Christian of all economic theories. We also discuss aspects of Dr. Ahlquist's essay on localism written for The Paradox Press – if you haven't already, we encourage you to read that here.

In 2016, Danish politician Ida Auken described the year 2030 as a happy place to live: no car, no house, no appliances, no privacy, and a living room lent out for business meetings whenever she steps away. Joe Grabowski and Grettelyn Darkey read Ida Auken's essay beside G.K. Chesterton, who had already named the bargain nearly a century before it was offered—that privacy is the mark of property, and that a people stripped of both are being fitted for a hive instead of a home.  In This Episode: Why G.K. Chesterton tied privacy to property, and why he said the Englishman's castle was too often hardly even a house The bees, the beavers, and G.K. Chesterton's fundamental principle of private property How Auken's 2030 city matches the servile state that G.K. Chesterton and Hilaire Belloc warned about The one thing absent from a utopia built on shared living rooms: marriage, children, family Why "having nothing and possessing all things" means the opposite of what socialism offers Resources Mentioned: Ida Auken, "Welcome to 2030. I own nothing, have no privacy, and life has never been better" (World Economic Forum, 2016) G.K. Chesterton, "Prohibition and Property" (The New Witness, October 7, 1921) G.K.

What happens when someone who spends his life thinking about risk, decision-making and human behaviour is confronted with an uncertainty he simply can't control?Episode summaryMy guest is Paul Craven, a behavioural scientist, former investment professional, magician and keynote speaker, and one of my favourite people to talk to. When we sat down to record this episode, I noticed that Paul's voice sounded different.His explanation — that he had recently been diagnosed with oral cancer — took our conversation in an unexpected and deeply personal direction.We explore what his experience has taught him about uncertainty, why he deliberately chose not to Google his diagnosis, and the difference between having information and having useful information.From there, we explore luck and skill, decision and gratitude journals, relationships versus transactions, the dangers of binary thinking, and why sometimes the best thing you can do when you're in a bad mood is go for a walk in the rain. It's a conversation about behavioural science, but also about perspective, paying attention and what we discover about ourselves when life doesn't go according to plan.Key themesLiving with uncertainty and the psychological value of having a planWhy more information isn't always better informationAI, search engines and our desire for certaintyNuance versus binary thinkingLuck, skill and decision journalsGratitude and paying attention to what mattersRelationships versus transactionsStorytelling, lived experience and different ways of seeing the worldChameleon Thinking and the value of changing perspectiveGuest Profile - Paul CravenPaul is a behavioural scientist, keynote speaker and former investment professional who brings together insights from psychology, behavioural science, finance and magic to explore how people really think and make decisions.

In 1918 G. K. Chesterton wrote a series of five articles for the New Witness condemning the (then current) move in England to enact more liberal divorce laws. The articles were collected and published in 1920 under the title The Superstition of Divorce (image inset), a first-edition of which was given to me as a kind gift by a very dear friend. In the book Chesterton argues at length against the legalization of divorce. In his “Conclusion” added in 1920 he says that the book was really a mere pamphlet and that pamphlets of necessity wrote about passing things and that he hoped the fad of legalized divorce would be one of them. Of course, it wasn't.

Darren Grimes and Graham Dunlop launch their new Grimoire platform, a global book club built around 250 plus professionally narrated audiobooks, lunar-cycle book picks, and community participation. They also demo a new online Pegs and Jokers game, whil e walking through the shelves of the library and explaining how free access, founder memberships, and the inner sanctum work. https://pegsandjokers.ca/ https://www.skool.com/the-secret-teachings-book-club-1875   In this episode, Darren and Graham cover the launch setup, the membership model, and the structure of the new book club. They also preview the first book of the month, discuss how the shelves are organized, and share the thinking behind the game and the community features. Key topics In this episode: the Grimoire launches with more than 250 audiobooks, with the library expected to grow to around 260 soon. The free book of the month is The Secret Teachings of All Ages in an abridged edition, chosen because starting with the full 36 hour version would be too much for most listeners. Founder keeper and monthly initiate memberships unlock the full library, while the free tier gives access to the monthly featured book and community activity. The book club is organized around lunar cycles, with a new moon monthly pick and a full moon live read, creating a rhythm of one book per moon month. The community model includes chapter check-ins, passage discussions, Friday tangents, and a final live book council in the last week of each book month. Darren and Graham describe the inner sanctum as a deeper, earned area of the platform, accessible through participation rather than payment alone. The shelves span Hermetica and occult, theosophy, mysticism east and west, Atlantis and Fortiana, mind and prosperity, weird fiction, philosophy and classics, magic, and power and propaganda. They highlight standout titles such as The Purple Cloud, The Machine Stops, Atlantis by Ignatius Donnelly, The Book of Thoth, Psychic Self-Defense, The Power of Positive Thinking, and The Road to Serfdom. Graham demos Pegs and Jokers, explaining how the online version works, how the cards move pieces, and why it is meant to be played with friends and family across locations. They mention the platform is still being cleaned up and reorganized, including moving some books between shelves and adding PDFs and other support material.   Become a Lord or Lady with 1k donations over time.

Matt and Michael open with the paradox of getting your ass kicked and somehow feeling more alive because of it. Matt shares his realization that there is no "there" to arrive at. The car ride IS the destination. Flat tires, closed restaurants, broken grinders. That's not the interruption of life. That IS life. Then things get deep. They wrestle with Dawkins vs. Lennox on justice and whether the universe has a moral order. They explore why science itself presupposes God, why atheism requires its own kind of faith, and why Lennox's answer about morality is devastating. All men are created in the image of God, even the ones who don't believe in Him. The back half dives into inversion. How we try to make reality conform to us instead of conforming ourselves to reality. They tackle sex, polyamory, pornography, and C.S. Lewis's insight from The Abolition of Man. If you optimize for the purpose of a thing, you destroy the thing itself. Optimize for pleasure, and you end up in misery. Cheers y'all

Grettelyn Darkey and Joe Grabowski take up the most neuralgic subject in G.K. Chesterton scholarship: his defense of the French Revolution. Working through a 1921 Illustrated London News column, a 1905 Daily News essay setting the French and Russian revolutions side by side, and a 1918 New Witness piece that turns without warning to Prussianism, they trace his distinction between the ideals of a revolution and its working out, and his insistence that what a revolution exists to restore is the rights of man and not the wrongs of man.  In This Episode: Why G.K. Chesterton distinguished the motivations behind the French Revolution from its working out under Robespierre and the Terror The negative equality G.K. Chesterton faulted the revolutionaries for—abolishing things for everybody instead of extending them to everybody Why reading G.K. Chesterton on this subject without his British and monarchical audience in view produces anachronism, and what he held against Edmund Burke G.K. Chesterton on positive and negative liberalism, and his warning that the modern revolutionist is free to hate anything, liberty itself included The white post from Orthodoxy, radicalism as a return to the roots, and G.K. Chesterton's claim that revolution is the divine part of man Resources Mentioned: The Rightness of the French Revolution by G.K. Chesterton Two Revolutions by G.K.

Recorded in May 2022, weeks before Synod 2022. First of three reruns in the Before We Knew series, pulled from the years before the CRCNA's direction was settled. A solo episode. Jason works through the fear of the Pharisees — Matthew 21:45-46, Mark 11:18, Luke 22:1-2 — where the religious leaders intend to arrest and kill Jesus and hold back because they fear the crowds. He applies it to the delegates heading to synod, alongside 1 Corinthians 16:13: be watchful, stand firm in the faith, act like men, be strong. He then describes his own fear. He shakes when he speaks up in a group. A year or two into ministry as a youth pastor, he sat through a contentious congregational meeting, disagreed with where it was going, and said nothing, because he was afraid of what speaking would cost his position and his relationships. He drove home resolved never to do it again. The definition of courage follows: not the absence of fear, but fearing God more than men and moving forward anyway. The second half takes up the arguments circulating before synod — fear of damage, fear of disunity, fear of a rash decision. He names delay as a tactic rather than caution, argues that smaller forces stretch out a fight when they know the numbers are against them, and holds that the majority in the pews were orthodox on sexuality. He cites the Chesterton line that a soldier fights for what is behind him rather than against what is in front of him, and lists what he longs for: a denomination he is not ashamed of, one that disciplines false teaching, that hires people worth being excited about, that is known for standing firm. He closes on 1 Corinthians 15:10 — Paul working harder than all of them, yet not I, but the grace of God — and argues that courage comes through faith rather than from within. The episode ends with Acts 20:22-24 adapted to synod: going constrained by the Spirit, not knowing what waits, counting his life of no value if only he may finish the course.

For the memorial of St. John Vianney, Joe Grabowski reads a rarely reprinted G.K. Chesterton essay—The Challenge of the Curé d'Ars—written as an afterword to F.J. Sheed's 1929 translation of Henri Ghéon's The Secret of the Curé d'Ars. Chesterton's portrait is not the gentle village priest most readers expect but a militant one, a walking contradiction who denied everything his century most confidently affirmed. You'll hear why Chesterton thought the critics who file the Church under the medieval past have misread her entirely, and why the Curé's holiness shone brightest in the full daylight of the age of reason. In This Episode: Where to find G.K. Chesterton's rarely reprinted essay on St. John Vianney—and why it sits at the back of Ghéon's book rather than the front Chesterton's argument that the Church predates every nation, and why that makes "international" the wrong word for her The sharp line Chesterton drew between an apologia and an apology, and what Catholic argument lost when the two words collapsed into one Chesterton's reading of the Curé d'Ars as provocative rather than merely pious—a priest whose entire life functioned as a denial of his age How Chesterton used Lourdes and Ars to answer critics who treat the Church as a relic of a particular past Resources Mentioned: Main biographies of the Curé d'Ars, including Abbé Francis Trochu's The Secret of the Curé d'Ars by Henri Ghéon, translated by F.J.

Pastor Steve DeWitt, author of Loneliness: Don't Hate It or Waste It, Redeem It, joins Wayne Shepherd in conversation on this topic.  (click for more…)Websites:  www.moodypublishers.com/loneliness, www.bethelweb.org Steve DeWitt, longtime pastor of Bethel Church in Northwest Indiana, talks about his book Loneliness: Don't Hate It or Waste It, Redeem It. DeWitt shares that he was a well-known "never married" megachurch pastor for over two decades before marrying his wife Jennifer (they connected after she read an article he'd written on loneliness), and he draws on that long stretch of singleness to reflect on loneliness biblically rather than as a book about marriage curing it. He distinguishes aloneness (neutral), loneliness (bad), and solitude (good), and outlines three ways people "waste" their loneliness — isolating themselves, becoming obsessed with unmet expectations, and distracting themselves through things like binge-watching or doomscrolling. He then turns to how to "redeem" loneliness: recognizing it as fundamentally a vertical longing for restored relationship with God (echoing Augustine and Chesterton), and then letting that drive people toward sacrificial, others-focused love modeled on Jesus rather than self-focused pursuit of companionship. The conversation closes with reflections on how social media and constant connectivity paradoxically deepen isolation, and DeWitt encourages listeners to examine their social media habits as part of a healthier response to loneliness.                                             NEXT WEEK:  Babbie MasonSend your support for FIRST PERSON to the Far East Broadcasting Company:FEBC National Processing Center Far East Broadcasting CompanyP.O.

Level up your leadership: https://forms.gle/nqRTUvgFrtdYuCbr6 Have you ever walked through a building and assumed you knew enough to be a civil engineer? When game dev leaders look at design, narrative, or engineering problems and think, "I could do a better job than that," they often mistake surface-level observation for actual craft expertise. In this episode, Benjamin Carcich breaks down why smart leaders fall into the trap of second-guessing specialized disciplines—from game design to AI-assisted engineering—and how "swooping in" with uninformed solutions damages your game and your team's trust. What You'll Learn in This Episode What "armchair quarterbacking" actually costs your studio and why leaders easily fall into the trap of oversimplifying complex disciplines. Why every game development decision is a series of trade-offs (pros vs. cons), and why untested ideas always look pristine in your head. How to apply Chesterton's Fence to understand why a system exists before trying to tear it down. How to give feedback as a leader by focusing on root problems and asking curious questions rather than mandating solutions. If you're a leader in game dev who wants to stop accidentally undermining your experts and start giving feedback that actually elevates your team, this episode is for you. Connect with us:

A new Atlantic cover story argues that America is sliding into a postliterate age—but G.K. Chesterton diagnosed the same collapse in 1928, years before Marshall McLuhan or Neil Postman raised the alarm. Joe Grabowski goes solo to walk through Rose Horowitch's statistics on the death of reading, then turns to two Illustrated London News essays in which Chesterton describes a public that has stopped reading connected prose and now only kisses books it has never opened. What emerges is a practical challenge for anyone who wants to recover the habit Chesterton simply assumed his own readers still had. In This Episode: Why G.K. Chesterton said so little about illiteracy—and what that silence reveals about how genuinely new this problem is Chesterton's 1928 warning that making reading "easier" signals a slump in reading rather than a boom What Chesterton meant by a public relapsing into the horn book and the cat on the mat—and why Joe Grabowski thinks he would have said much the same of reels, Shorts, and TikTok The 1921 essay in which Chesterton argued that the books shaping the world are the ones nobody has actually opened: Darwin, Marx, and the rumor that replaces the text Why Chesterton's critique lands on podcast listeners too—the risk of becoming the very type of person Chesterton described, taking opinions secondhand from influencers and favorite podcasters Resources Mentioned: "The End of Reading Is Here" by Rose Horowitch, The Atlantic "On Reading, and Not Being Able To," The Illustrated London News, December 8, 1928 What Mr. Belloc's Servile State Means by G.

On the heels of the announcement that Sigrid Undset's cause for canonization has been opened, Grettelyn Darkey and Joe Grabowski consider the Nobel laureate through the lens of G.K. Chesterton—the writer she admired, collected, and translated into Norwegian before visiting him at his home in Beaconsfield. Received into the Church just two years after G.K. Chesterton, Undset shared his conviction that sanctity belongs to the ordinary life of the laity, and her vivid portraits of medieval saints carry the same paradoxical spirit that made Chesterton's own work startle and delight. In This Episode: How Sigrid Undset's path into the Church paralleled G.K. Chesterton's—two converts of the same era drawn by the medieval and the Baroque Why G.K. Chesterton and Undset both located holiness in the vocation of the laity rather than the cloister The debt Undset owed to writers in G.K. Chesterton's orbit—Robert Hugh Benson's Lord of the World and the English Catholic revival Undset's translation of G.K.

In the opening seminar of our new series on G.K. Chesterton's The Everlasting Man, Dale Ahlquist, Senior Fellow at AMI and Founder of the Chesterton Schools Network, explores one of Chesterton's most profound insights: before we know what prehistoric man believed, wore, or even ate, we know one thing—he was an artist. From the cave paintings of our earliest ancestors to the uniqueness of Christ at the center of history, this first session lays the foundation for one of the greatest works of Christian apologetics ever written. Join Dale Ahlquist, founder of the Chesterton Schools Network, as he guides us through Chesterton's timeless masterpiece.
