What if the virtue we've been taught to prize above all others—empathy—has become a weapon that's destroying our families, churches, and society? In this thought-provoking episode of Refining Rhetoric, host Robert Bortins sits down with Dr. Joe Rigney, author of the controversial new book "The Sin of Empathy: Compassion and Its Counterfeits." Dr. Rigney, who serves as Fellow of Theology at New St. Andrews College and is a pastor at Christ's Church, makes a bold argument that will challenge everything you think you know about compassion. Using the powerful analogy of someone drowning in quicksand, Dr. Rigney distinguishes between biblical compassion—which reaches out to help while remaining anchored to truth—and what he calls "untethered empathy," which jumps into the pit with both feet, creating two drowning victims instead of one. This counterfeit virtue, he argues, has been weaponized across cultural battlegrounds from immigration and abortion to the transgender movement, demanding that we validate feelings regardless of truth or moral consequences. The conversation explores how this emotional manipulation has infiltrated churches, schools, and homes through Social Emotional Learning curricula, creating what Dr. Rigney calls "the institutionalization of the pity party." From the redefinition of marriage to the mutilation of confused children in the name of "gender-affirming care," he traces how untethered empathy leads through a predictable progression: pity to anger to cruelty—all while flying the banner of compassion.   Resources: https://x.com/joe_rigney   https://canonpress.com/products/the-sin-of-empathy   This episode of Refining Rhetoric is sponsored by the Classical Learning Cohort: Are you a CC parent or graduate wanting to become a more confident classical educator?

Episode 286 - "Boundaries Are Love, Not Rejection"We've been taught to see boundaries as walls—barriers that push people away. But what if we reframed them as acts of love? In this episode, Michelle and Scott dive into the power of boundaries as clarity and compassion. Saying “no” isn't rejection; it's an act of honesty that creates safer, healthier spaces for both you and the people you care about. Together, they explore why boundaries are essential for emotional well-being, how to set them without guilt, and why honoring your limits is one of the most loving things you can do—for yourself and others.Keeping Your Sh*t Together in a Stressed World is a podcast hosted by Michelle Post, MA, LMFT and Scott Grossberg, JD, CLC, CCH, NLP, and is 30 minutes of raw, irreverent, and results-oriented discussion with one purpose in mind . . . to help you cope, thrive, and survive the craziness that's going on in the world.As a reminder, our “Get Your Sh*t Together” Home Retreat can be found here:http://thinkingmagically.com/retreatReplays of prior episodes can be found at:https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/scott-grossbergYou can also join our Facebook group:https://www.facebook.com/groups/keepingystMichelle Post can be reached at michelle@postinternationalinc.com http://postinternationalinc.com

The U.S. Supreme Court has vastly reshaped American democracy — rolling back voting rights, enabling secret money in politics and expanding presidential power. These decisions have a real impact on all Americans by making it harder for citizens to exercise their freedom to vote, easier for wealthy interests to sway elections and more difficult to hold leaders accountable.In this episode, host Simone Leeper speaks with law professor and co-host of the Strict Scrutiny Podcast Leah Litman, Campaign Legal Center Senior Vice President Bruce V. Spiva and Campaign Legal Center Campaign Finance Senior Counsel David Kolker. Together, they unpack the real-world impact of landmark Supreme Court decisions — from voting rights cases like Shelby County v. Holder and Brnovich v. DNC to campaign finance rulings like Citizens United — and explore what reforms could restore balance, accountability and trust in the Court.Timestamps:(00:05) — What do Americans really think about the Supreme Court?(02:18) — Why does the Supreme Court's power matter for democracy?(07:01) — How did Shelby County v.

Episode 285 - "Letting Go and Forgiveness: Freeing Yourself From the Weight of the Past"We all carry burdens—old hurts, grudges, regrets, or even expectations that never came to be. And the truth is, they don't just live in our minds—they weigh on our bodies, our moods, and our relationships. In this episode, Michelle and Scott explore the powerful practice of letting go and the radical act of forgiveness—not to excuse or erase what's happened, but to release ourselves from the chains of carrying it. You'll learn why forgiveness is more about freedom than fairness, how to recognize when it's time to let go, and practical exercises you can use to start reclaiming your energy, your peace, and your life.Keeping Your Sh*t Together in a Stressed World is a podcast hosted by Michelle Post, MA, LMFT and Scott Grossberg, JD, CLC, CCH, NLP, and is 30 minutes of raw, irreverent, and results-oriented discussion with one purpose in mind . . . to help you cope, thrive, and survive the craziness that's going on in the world.As a reminder, our “Get Your Sh*t Together” Home Retreat can be found here:http://thinkingmagically.com/retreatReplays of prior episodes can be found at:https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/scott-grossbergYou can also join our Facebook group:https://www.facebook.com/groups/keepingystMichelle Post can be reached at michelle@postinternationalinc.com http://postinternationalinc.com

Everyone's talking about AI replacing jobs, but here's what they're missing: the real danger isn't AI taking over—it's our children never learning to think for themselves. Classical education might just be the key to thriving in an AI-dominated world. In this thought-provoking episode of Refining Rhetoric, host Robert Bortins dives deep into artificial intelligence and its implications for families, education, and society. With the Trump administration pushing AI as a solution to national debt and economic challenges, Robert examines both the promises and perils of this technological revolution. From data privacy concerns and the staggering energy demands of AI infrastructure to its potential impact on childhood development and learning, Robert offers a balanced perspective on navigating this new landscape. He shares practical insights on when and how to use AI tools effectively while emphasizing why the struggle of learning remains irreplaceable. This episode is essential listening for parents wondering how AI will affect their children's education and future opportunities, offering both warnings and wisdom for the road ahead. Key Topics Covered:               The Trump administration's AI strategy and national security implications               Data privacy, intellectual property, and energy infrastructure challenges               AI in education: personalized learning vs. relationship-based teaching               Why experts benefit from AI while novices suffer               Practical guidelines for using AI tools safely and effectively               The irreplaceable value of struggle and the learning journey               How classical education prepares students for an AI-integrated world   This episode of Refining Rhetoric is sponsored by the Classical Learning Cohort: Are you a CC parent or graduate wanting to become a more confident classical educator?

Episode 283 - "The Labor of Identity: Who Are You Beyond Work?"Work takes up a huge part of our lives—but it was never meant to define our entire identity. Too often, we confuse our job title with our worth and measure our lives against the myth that passion-driven work should feel effortless and fulfilling all the time. In this episode, Michelle and Scott dismantle the idea that your career is the sum total of who you are. They talk about how the “find your passion and you'll never work a day in your life” narrative can actually set you up for burnout and disappointment—and why your true identity is so much richer than your resume. Instead, they explore a healthier, more expansive vision of fulfillment: one that comes not just from work, but from creativity, relationships, service, play, and the parts of yourself that have nothing to do with a paycheck. Because you are not your job. You are something far greater.Keeping Your Sh*t Together in a Stressed World is a podcast hosted by Michelle Post, MA, LMFT and Scott Grossberg, JD, CLC, CCH, NLP, and is 30 minutes of raw, irreverent, and results-oriented discussion with one purpose in mind . . . to help you cope, thrive, and survive the craziness that's going on in the world.As a reminder, our “Get Your Sh*t Together” Home Retreat can be found here:http://thinkingmagically.com/retreatReplays of prior episodes can be found at:https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/scott-grossbergYou can also join our Facebook group:https://www.facebook.com/groups/keepingystMichelle Post can be reached at michelle@postinternationalinc.com http://postinternationalinc.com

What if you discovered you have more religious freedom right now than at any point in your lifetime—but nobody told you? In this episode of Refining Rhetoric, Robert sits down with Kelly Shackelford, President and CEO of First Liberty Institute, to discuss the remarkable string of religious freedom victories at the Supreme Court that most Americans don't even know happened. Shackelford, a constitutional scholar who has argued and won multiple cases before the Supreme Court, breaks down four major religious liberty wins achieved in just 13 months, including the landmark Coach Kennedy case that overturned 50 years of anti-religious precedent. Key topics covered: How the Supreme Court restored religious freedom protections in the workplace and schools What these victories mean for Christians, business owners, and educators Practical guidance on exercising religious rights at work and in public spaces The truth about what pastors can and cannot say from the pulpit regarding politics Why millions of Christian voters staying home could change election outcomes Resources available at FirstLiberty.org for understanding your religious freedom rights Shackelford emphasizes that Americans now have more religious freedom than they've had in their lifetime, but many don't realize the extent of their restored rights. This episode provides essential insights for anyone wanting to understand and exercise their constitutional religious liberties.

Episode 282 - "Rest Isn't Lazy: The Productivity Detox"We live in a culture that glorifies busyness and treats exhaustion like a badge of honor. But here's the truth: rest is not laziness—it's survival, strategy, and strength. In this episode, Michelle and Scott dismantle the toxic myth that your worth is tied to your output. They explore the science behind why rest restores creativity and focus, the emotional guilt that keeps us overworking, and how to reclaim rest as an act of resistance against hustle culture. This is your invitation to hit pause, take a breath, and discover the radical power of slowing down. Because the most productive thing you can sometimes do . . . is nothing at all.Keeping Your Sh*t Together in a Stressed World is a podcast hosted by Michelle Post, MA, LMFT and Scott Grossberg, JD, CLC, CCH, NLP, and is 30 minutes of raw, irreverent, and results-oriented discussion with one purpose in mind . . . to help you cope, thrive, and survive the craziness that's going on in the world.As a reminder, our “Get Your Sh*t Together” Home Retreat can be found here:http://thinkingmagically.com/retreatReplays of prior episodes can be found at:https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/scott-grossbergYou can also join our Facebook group:https://www.facebook.com/groups/keepingystMichelle Post can be reached at michelle@postinternationalinc.com http://postinternationalinc.com

The work behind the Arms Embargo Now Report revealed that there are unionized workplaces in Canada that are making weapons destined for Israel. World Beyond War organizer called this information, along with a recent letter from Unifor's President "an opportunity" for positive action.Activists from Labour for Palestine are going into this week's UNIFOR convention in Vancouver with this top of mind. They are working on a campaign to have any goods or services coming from, or going to Israel, declared 'hot cargo'.They know the majority of Canadians, and thus UNIFOR members, are against the genocide, but that doesn't mean there aren't going to be obstacles in their way. In a political climate defined by fear and heightened nationalism, it has been a challenge getting workers to prioritize Palestine. Hear what work is being done to pave the way for more Internationalism not just inside UNIFOR, but within all Labour institutions.Guests:Pamela Arancibia, CUPE member, Labour for Palestine GTAShaheen Lotun, UNIFOR local 2025 President, Labour for PalestineHosted by: Jessa McLeanCall to Action: Tell the CLC to Declare Israeli Goods 'Hot Cargo'Related Episodes: Answering the Call (Jan 2024) with Anna Lippman of Labour for Palestine Nationalism and the Working Class (Mar 2023) with Chris FairweatherMore Resources: Unifor letter to Prime Minister Carney Re: Urgent Canadian intervention to end the genocide in Palestine | UniforHot cargo agreements 101: a practical legal overview - Rights NavigatorCJPME: Canadian Labour Congress Endorses sanctions on IsraelReport - Arms Embargo NowPeople's Voice: Internationalism, identity politics and anti-apartheid organizingRabble: Paramedic fired for pro-Palestinian speech fights for reinstatementThe Maple: Israeli Products Should Have No Place In CanadaAll of our content is free - made possible by the generous sponsorships of our Patrons.
