This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit www.richardhanania.comRob joins me to talk about our experiences growing up poor, or poorish, with a focus on what race relations were like. For some context, I'm 38 and spent my childhood in one of the less nice suburbs of Chicago, while he's 34 and was raised in rural California. Both of us mostly hung out around people who didn't end up going to college and had prole habits, ideas, and interests. My family had some money but like many immigrants they didn't spend it on moving to a nice school district, so I grew up with the lower-class American experience. We discuss racial tensions in our schools, whether kids we grew up with were just uncomfortable with gay people or actively hated them, dating across color lines, and much more.Over the years I've come to realize that everybody is in something of a bubble. When I was growing up among the proles, I had a lot of misconceptions about what those at different socioeconomic levels were like, and more educated Americans are just as clueless about those at the middle or bottom. Rob and I came of age at about the same time, in communities that were majority white and non-college educated. Nonetheless, there was a lot more anti-blackness and anti-gayness where I lived, while these attitudes appear to have been less prevalent in Red Bluff. Maybe this is a California thing, as regional differences seem to matter a lot. Our divergent experiences reflect only a slight portion of the variation that exists across the United States, as neither of us has spent time in say Appalachia or the Deep South. We tell stories about the gay kid that Rob knew who was once the only one with the courage to say the “n word,” the Muslim girl at my school who one day took off her hijab and caused the boys to lose their minds, the Christian Arab girl whose family swore to kill her if she ever slept with a boy, and Rob's only experience with the trans movement. The first of these causes us to reflect on the 1990s and 2000s as the era of a more masculine liberalism, which joyously mocked those who felt harmed by words, whether incantations to Satan or racial slurs. Near the end, we get to wiggers versus cowboys, and how Trump has shifted the ways in which the people we grew up with see the political world. This conversation motivated me to look into what happened to the town I grew up in. It went from 1% black and 5% Hispanic in 2000, to now about 7% black and 22% Hispanic. Over 5% of households speak Arabic at home, and another 15% Spanish. I was recently back and saw signs and billboards in Arabic for the first time, and a sushi restaurant, which would've been a very strange sight when I was a kid. There's something truly beautiful about demographic transitions, where those willing to reproduce and take the necessary steps to better their lives by crossing a border inherit the earth. Life is about movement. Whenever you find yourself on the opposite side of the youth, you must reconsider. Those who mourn certain aspects of the past can't push a rewind button, but must use contemporary ideas, technologies, and institutions to try and build something new.

Saving lives isn't something most of us do all the time, but today's guest makes a habit of it! She's a Christian Arab who grew up in Nazareth surrounded by people of many faiths. She found her passion when she joined Magen David Adom (MDA), Israel's national emergency medical service and representative to the International Red Cross. Yasmeen Mazzawi joined MDA in her teenage years and was immediately impacted by the important work this organisation does across the community. Even though she's now living a European country while studying, she still volunteers with MDA every time she returns home. Yasmeen quickly learned that comforting compassion is a dialect that speaks across language barriers, and she's seen the power of Christ's love reaching others regardless of their faith or mother tongue. Yasmeen knows her very actions can speak gospel truth as she literally binds up the brokenhearted in their moments of greatest need. She helps us understand how we can reach others who don't share our Christian faith and helps us see how God can turn even the most difficult of situations into His opportunities. When we meet people with different cultures, languages, and beliefs we can find ways to reveal God to them. Yasmeen helps us understand why and how we can do that through love and compassion.

When it comes to Israel, the news media tends to oversimplify the realities on the ground. And that means for Canadians reading, watching or listening to the news, they aren't getting a full picture about Israel, notably about the 25% of the population which is non-Jewish, and the full civil and democratic rights they enjoy as Israeli citizens. In this week's edition of The Honest Report, we sit down with Jonathan Elkhoury, an international speaker, columnist and diplomatic advisor, who is also a Christian Arab in Israel, for his thoughts on how his life is as an Arab in Israel, and what the world needs to understand about freedoms in the Jewish State.

EASTERN CHRISTIANITY IN SYRIA AND PALESTINE AND EUROPEAN CULTURAL DIPLOMACY (1860-1948): A CONNECTED HISTORY A Christian ‘Oriental question’ or an ‘Orient belonging only to Easterners’? In this webinar, the panellists will discuss European cultural diplomacy in Ottoman and Mandate Syria and Palestine, how it impacted the cultural identification of indigenous Christians, and the variety of Christian Arab agendas towards such policies, relying predominantly on unpublished sources. They will present some of the conceptual and archival challenges, and link the study of the micro-scale level of everyday cultural and religious life to the macro-narratives of global change affecting Christian communities, in a connected perspective. ____________________ With: Karène Sanchez Summerer Konstantinos Papastathis Lora Gerd Dimitrios M.

In this Pod, I have a co-pilot hosting with me, and together we talked to a woman who has worked with Beduin in rural villages for nearly a decade. We had a fascinating conversation about Arabic music, Christian Arab hymns, why doing ministry in rural settings has meaning, the struggles of Beduin woman, being single on the field, and much, much more. "The Beduin have always fascinated me. When I realized I would be working with the Beduin, I knew this was the place where I wanted to stay. That's why I've stayed in one place for so long; because they take so long to trust because they watch, they see. They do sense things very quickly, but they want to see if it's consistent before they take it as their own. And then they are unstoppable."

“By profession I am a dental surgeon by profession I am a mental surgeon.” Suhail Jouaneh on DADicated.com Dr. Suhail Jouaneh is a leader, coach and businessman from Amman in Jordan. He is a business facilitator and executive coach having organized thousands of workshops and trained more than 20,000 people from over forty countries. Suhail is well spoken, very witty and positive and the session is fun and very interesting. Suhail is married to his wife Abeer and has two daughters Elisabeth 21, Christina 14. Suhail is Christian in a country where 98% of the population is muslim. He spent seven years in France during his studies and so I was very interested to hear his perspective as a “Arab Dad” with a Western understanding and mindset. Suhail did not disappoint. In the session Suhail shares his own journey as a father; we discuss his family principles and values, Suhail contrasts Western family culture and Jordanian family customs, the role of daughters in Jordan and “Arab Dads” as Suhail coins it. Suhail explains how he empowers his daughters in a country where arranged marriage still exists and sons are often preferred over daughters. He also tells us how he applies his coaching techniques to family. The most powerful takeaways for me as a dad where: Investing in the relationship early is so important. Where required, talk to your daughters in the role of a male, not just as a dad. Don’t be distant or harsh, especially with your wife and daughters. Always be watchful and amend mistakes instantly. “Whenever our daughters lie, they admit that they lie. They don’t know how to lie.” Suhail Jouaneh on DADicated.com If you love this session, please share it. Thank you and enjoy this session with Suhail.

A new archaeological find seems to provide the first contemporary evidence of a major figure in the early history of Islam–and even more fascinating, it appears to have been written by a loyal Christian Arab subject.
Like digging through archaeological layers, documenting the development of language and writing provides important clues about historical events. Recent discoveries in the deserts of Syria and Jordan are yielding clues not only about the origins of the Arabic writing system, but also about the rich history of the Arabs in the periods just before and after the rise of Islam. A new archaeological find seems to provide the first contemporary evidence of a major figure in the early history of Islam–and even more fascinating, it appears to have been written by a loyal Christian Arab subject. Ahmad al-Jallad, the incoming Sofia Chair of Arabic Studies at the Ohio State University, discusses his work in the desert of Jordan, and describes recent finds that paint a picture of a vibrant Christian Arab community in Syria, decades after the Islamic conquest.
