Send us a texthttps://www.pastorbencooper.co.uk/Have you ever found yourself returning to old patterns when faced with uncertainty? In this thought-provoking episode, Pastor Ben Cooper challenges believers to stop "going back fishing"—a powerful metaphor for reverting to familiar but unfruitful religious routines instead of pressing forward in faith. Drawing from John 21, Pastor Cooper explores how Jesus' instructions to the disciples offer a timeless message for today's Christians navigating uncertainty.Key Insights from the Episode:The Disciples' Return to Fishing: A Mirror of Today's Church: After witnessing Jesus' crucifixion, the disciples reverted to their old profession of fishing, even though they had witnessed countless miracles with Him. This reversion is mirrored in the way many churches responded post-pandemic. Instead of embracing spiritual transformation and growth during the disruption, many institutions returned to old ways of doing church, missing the opportunity for renewed faith. Pastor Cooper encourages believers to step out of the comfort zone of tradition and seek a deeper, more kingdom-focused faith journey.The Danger of Religious Routines: Pastor Cooper contrasts the disciples' fruitless night of fishing with Jesus' instruction to cast the net on the other side. Despite their expertise and experience, their efforts yielded nothing until they obeyed Christ's specific command. This moment serves as a powerful reminder that religious routines, if disconnected from God's guidance, will lead to spiritual fruitlessness. Are we just going through the motions, or are we listening to God's voice in our lives today?Conformity vs. Kingdom-Focused Living: Pastor Cooper draws a sharp distinction between conforming to worldly systems and embracing a kingdom-focused lifestyle. In a world filled with distractions and pressures to conform, believers are called to stand firm in their faith, obeying God's directives rather than simply repeating past practices. The episode highlights how much of the modern church risks being caught in a cycle of tradition over transformation. The challenge is clear: Are we following the pattern of the world, or are we being transformed by God's will?Preparing for Future Challenges: With an eschatological undertone, Pastor Cooper warns that the days ahead may bring further tests for the church. Will Christians continue to stand on biblical convictions, or will they bow to external pressures, including governmental authorities, when faced with challenges? In a world that increasingly challenges Christian values, this message calls believers to reflect on their commitment to biblical truth and spiritual preparedness. Christ's return is imminent, and we must be spiritually ready to face whatever comes our way.Spiritual Abundance Through Obedience: Ultimately, Pastor Cooper challenges listeners to examine their faith. Are you fishing where Jesus directs, or are you simply repeating comfortable patterns that yield no fruit? Jesus' invitation to cast the net on the other side resulted in an abundant catch—a powerful image of the spiritual abundance that follows obedient faith. The choice is clear: Follow Christ's instructions, and your faith will bear fruit that transforms lives.Conclusion:This message is for anyone questioning the effectiveness of institutional Christianity and seeking a more authentic, kingdom-focused faith journey. Pastor Cooper's teaching challenges us to examine whether we are motivated by fear, tradition, or true transformation. Will you cast your neSupport the showhttps://www.pastorbencooper.co.uk/

Living as a trans person in America comes with its share of challenges, which are sometimes even life-threatening. But some say it can also open up access to incredible freedom. What lessons can we all learn from people who've transitioned and transformed? Alok Vaid-Menon is a comedian and writer with remarkable patience and compassion for everyone and their inner journey – even the people sending them hate and death threats. “I am trying to look in their face and say ‘I want you to live,'” they say in a documentary short about them titled “Alok.” Artist and filmmaker Alex Hedison got to know Alok while directing the film, which she took to the Sundance Film Festival. The two reunite on stage at the 2024 Aspen Ideas Festival for a conversation about confronting our fears and defying the boxes we find ourselves in. aspenideas.org

In this episode of "Ditch the Lab Coat, where we delve into health issues with a grounded, scientifically skeptical eye. Today, we're diving deep into the world of cholesterol science and statins with our special guest, Dr. Malcolm Kendrick, an acclaimed skeptic and thought provoker in the medical community. Dr. Kendrick, known for turning conventional wisdom on its head, will be sharing his insights on how statins really affect our health, stretching beyond the common narrative and challenging the status quo of the pharmaceutical-medical industry complex.In this episode, Dr. Kendrick shares his perspective on the actual benefits and risks associated with statins, exploring their history and the modern-day data controversies surrounding them. Are they truly the heart-protecting wonder drugs we have been led to believe? Prepare for a dialogue that ventures into the realm of medical guidelines, research transparency, and, most critically, how independent thinking can lead us to better healthcare decisions.Grab your headphones, get comfortable, and join us as we embark on this eye-opening journey to dissect the truths about statins and explore what might actually lie at the heart of cardiovascular health.

We must demand independent verification of data.Independent Medical Thinking Doctors should critically evaluate guidelines, balancing them with individual patient needs and circumstances.Cost of Conformity in Guidelines Blind adherence to guidelines, due to fear of malpractice, might not always benefit the patient.Lifestyle Over Medication Managing chronic conditions through lifestyle changes can often be more effective than medication.Potential of Lp(a) Lp(a) might provide clearer heart disease risk markers.

Over the years, Pano Kanelos, the founding president of the University of Austin, observed a growing “homogenization” and “bureaucratization” of higher education. He saw school programs becoming more and more similar, administrators outnumbering students and young adults being taught that the pathway to success is dependent on censorship and adherence to the status quo.“We've created a culture of conformity at universities—a culture of conformity in higher education,” he says. “This just flattens out, I think, the potential for higher education to do great things and be dynamic.”So, in 2021, along with a group of similarly concerned individuals, he started the University of Austin, a private liberal arts university in Texas that emphasizes curiosity, risk-taking, and moral agency.“We're trying to generate graduates who themselves are builders and creators. This is an important part of our curriculum,” says Kanelos.Three years later, he is the president of a fully operational freshmen class and a diverse faculty.“If anybody visits the University of Austin, they will see that it's probably one of the most intellectually alive environments you'll ever encounter,” says Kanelos.The views expressed in this video are those of the host and the guest and do not necessarily reflect those of The Epoch Times.

Groupthink is a psychological phenomenon that occurs within a group of people in which the desire for harmony or conformity Cohesiveness, or the desire for cohesiveness, in a group may produce a tendency among its members to agree at all costs. This causes the group to minimize conflict and reach a consensus decision without critical evaluation. - wikipediaThe Resource: "Two Cheers for Anarchism" by James C.

I'm back. Because silence isn't an option right now. In this episode, I share how graduate study / critical inquiry into leadership and social psychology is helping me make sense of an upside-down world. Groupthink, aka hive mind, isn't just a 'culty' thing. Conformity happens everywhere along the political spectrum. I speak to how unspoken "display rules" keep us from speaking up, then make the argument that Democratic leaders in Washington desperately need to ditch cultural etiquette in order to demand accountability. I also share J. W. Brehm's theory of reactance, which can help us to better understand friends and family members on the MAGA/MAHA right who continue to double down on misinformation. Bombarding them with actual facts will likely backfire, and I tell you why. Lastly, and most importantly, I talk about pluralistic ignorance - what it is & why understanding it is absolutely essential in the fight against fascism. Self-regulation works great for peace of mind, but it can operate like a sort of pathology when it keeps us from protecting one another and demanding justice.Referenced in this episode:The Social Animal, by Elliot AronsonInfluence: The Psychology of Persuasion by Robert CialdiniWhat is Group Think?

In this week's sermon, we explore the story of Lot and the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah. We reflect on the dangers of compromising our values to fit into a culture that often stands in opposition to God's design. As we examine Lot's choices and the institutionalized sin of Sodom, we are reminded of the importance of standing firm in our faith and the necessity of God's judgment as an expression of His love. We also confront the challenges of navigating a world where sexual sin seeks to permeate every aspect of society, and we are called to respond with truth, love, and hope.

If everyone has to look alike and think exactly alike, and if there's no room for disagreement or nuance, we might be bowing to the altar of conformity. The next generation does not want a faith that is so narrow that they have to conform to secondary issues. That's never the way it's supposed to have been since the beginning, but even Jesus' disciples struggled with this.Deconstruction. Many people who once believed and had faith have made a decision not to believe, and often that decision comes as a result of what they have experienced around believing communities. In this series we'll talk about five reasons for deconstruction, and how a firm foundation can keep faith from crumbling.Learn more about Mountaintop Church at https://mountaintopchurch.com

In this episode of Physician's Guide to Doctoring, Dr. Bradley Block speaks with returning guest Dr. Stephen Bradley who shares insights from his co-authored article addressing how medical institutions emphasize diversity but frequently neglect true inclusion. Drawing from personal experiences including decisions about personal grooming to conform to professional expectations and those of colleagues, Dr. Bradley explores the subtle and overt pressures underrepresented physicians face to fit in.The conversation covers actionable strategies to foster inclusive environments, the "minority tax" in medicine, and how healthcare organizations can support their diverse workforce beyond recruitment. Whether you're a medical student, physician, or healthcare leader, this episode offers thought-provoking perspectives on creating a more inclusive medical community.Three Actionable Takeaways:Move Beyond Metrics: Diversity in numbers isn't enough—institutions must foster environments where underrepresented groups feel valued and authentically included.Understand the "Minority Tax": Recognize and address the added burden placed on minority physicians to mentor, advocate, and represent, often without institutional support.Create Inclusive Policies: Small but meaningful changes, like flexible grooming and dress codes, recognizing diverse holidays, and improving communication, can significantly enhance workplace inclusivity.About Guest:Dr. Steven Bradley is a board-certified anesthesiologist and medical ethicist dedicated to mentorship and enhancing diversity in healthcare. He earned his medical degree from Howard University College of Medicine and completed his anesthesiology residency at the University of Chicago Medical Center. Furthering his expertise, Dr. Bradley pursued a fellowship at the MacLean Center for Clinical Medical Ethics. He serves as an assistant professor of anesthesiology, educating both medical students and residents. Additionally, Dr. Bradley hosts "The Black Doctors Podcast," where he interviews minority professionals across various fields to inspire and motivate listeners. LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/stevenbradleymd/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/stevenbradleymd/X: https://x.com/StevenBradleyMDWebsite: https://stevenbradleymd.com About the Host:Dr. Bradley Block is a board-certified otolaryngologist at ENT and Allergy Associates in Garden City, NY.

Have we become too quick to diagnose, medicate, and mold children into society's version of "normal"? In this episode of the English Plus Podcast, we present Fractured Focus, the powerful story of Leo—a nine-year-old boy whose boundless imagination collides with the rigid expectations of school and an ADHD diagnosis. As his world slowly dims under the influence of medication and standardized education, we are left with difficult but necessary questions: Are we supporting children's growth, or are we suppressing their creativity in favor of compliance? Do quick-fix solutions like medication overshadow the complexity of neurodiversity? How can we create a system that nurtures individuality rather than enforcing uniformity? Following the story, we dive into a reflective commentary, unpacking the themes of ADHD, conformity, and the fine line between structure and suppression in education. But the conversation doesn't stop there. We're also joined by Dr. Michael Adams, a psychiatrist specializing in child mental health and neurodiversity, for a deep and thought-provoking interview. Together, we challenge the conventional understanding of ADHD, explore alternative approaches to support neurodiverse children, and discuss the larger societal structures that shape our views on learning and behavior. This episode is an invitation to rethink what we believe about childhood development, education, and mental health. Whether you're a parent, educator, or someone interested in neurodiversity, this discussion will challenge your perspective and encourage meaningful reflection.

Your Nightly Prayer

Episode Overview Have you ever sacrificed a part of yourself just to fit in? Belonging and authenticity have always felt like opposing forces in my life, and I want to share a deeply personal story about self-abandonment, the pressure to conform, and the long road back to self-acceptance. Inspired by the wisdom of Dr. Gabor Maté, I explore the lifelong struggle between attachment vs. authenticity and why so many of us sacrifice our true selves for validation. If you've ever felt torn between belonging and self-trust, this episode will help you reclaim your identity, build unshakable self-confidence, and find the courage to be unapologetically you.   “Before I said unshakable self, I talked about unshakable certainty in being so secure in who you are and what you create in the world and what your magic is that it's just undeniable."   In This Episode   (00:01) – Why belonging has always felt complicated for me (06:45) – The apology I should have made 30 years ago (15:32) – The war between attachment and authenticity—what Dr. Gabor Maté has to say (24:17) – How I lost myself for validation—and the path back (35:50) – Key takeaways & closing thoughts: The courage to reclaim myself   "The pain of consciously choosing to self-abandon is worse than self-abandoning by default or programming or conditioning, but like regardless, it fucking sucks."   About The Unshakeable Self The Unshakeable Self is your guide to building unwavering confidence and authentic self-trust. In each episode, we explore practical strategies and powerful insights to help you break free from self-doubt, embrace your true potential, and create a life that aligns with your deepest values.

With a true pastor's heart, Jude wrote his epistle to address false teaching and apostasy that was creeping into the church.  His inclusion of "mercy" in his greeting and benediction suggests those in the church needed help beyond grace alone.  We face many attacks in our faith walk, and we need to be prepared to agonize for the faith and not be conformed to the world.

Unlock the secrets of human behavior and power dynamics with our fascinating conversation featuring Robert Greene, the mastermind behind bestsellers like "The 48 Laws of Power" and "The Laws of Human Nature." Discover how Greene's rigorous research, involving the reading of hundreds of books, shapes his understanding of the primal instincts that continue to steer our behaviors today. We also tackle humanity's perpetual quest for belief systems, whether religious, political, or philosophical, and how these beliefs fuel our sense of purpose. As we journey through the intricacies of leadership and power, we question whether the alpha-follower hierarchy is a natural aspect of humanity or a cunning construct. With captivating historical and modern examples, we explore the mixed emotions societies harbor towards their leaders—admiring their guidance yet often resenting their power. Greene's insights shed light on the timeless tension between authority and individual aspirations, offering a nuanced perspective on why this ambivalence persists. Finally, we navigate the absence of traditional initiation rituals in modern society and their impact on young people seeking direction. Reflecting on themes from Greene's book "Mastery," we emphasize the importance of individuality in a world that often pressures conformity. Through the stories of figures like Martin Luther King Jr. and Greene's own journey to authorship, the discussion uncovers the rewarding process of personal growth and finding one's calling. Join us as we conclude with gratitude and an invitation to further explore these profound topics. --------- EPISODE CHAPTERS --------- (0:00:01) - Robert Greene on Human Nature Interview (0:05:36) - Belief Systems and Dark Personalities (0:22:17) - Initiation Rituals (0:31:35) - Conformity and Ego Death (0:47:39) - Final Gratitude and Promotion --------- EPISODE CHAPTERS WITH SHORT KEY POINTS --------- (0:00:01) - Robert Greene on Human Nature Interview Renowned author Robert Green discusses humanity's belief in fate, primal instincts, and the impact of religion on intellectual development.

Pastor Kelly Soiles emphasizes the transformative power of truly listening to God amidst the clamor of today's world. She highlights the notion that genuine obedience stems from a heart that trusts and seeks God, rather than conforming to cultural norms.

Stefan Molyneux of Freedomain discusses conformity, aggression, and human duality in classic literature, focusing on Robert Louis Stevenson's "The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde." He critiques the allegorical interpretation of the novella as alcoholism, framing it instead as a conflict between societal norms and personal impulses. Molyneux explores the concept of the "shadow self," noting how societal pressures can mask latent aggression, and critiques virtue signaling in contemporary discourse.He emphasizes individual ethical responsibility in confronting complicity within power structures and advocates for aligning personal relationships with moral values. In exploring aging and legacy, Molyneux underscores the pursuit of moral excellence and the importance of personal accountability, challenging listeners to reflect on their beliefs and the genuine quest for virtue in a complex world.GET MY NEW BOOK 'PEACEFUL PARENTING', THE INTERACTIVE PEACEFUL PARENTING AI, AND AUDIOBOOK!https://peacefulparenting.com/Join the PREMIUM philosophy community on the web for free!Also get the Truth About the French Revolution, multiple interactive multi-lingual philosophy AIs trained on thousands of hours of my material, as well as targeted AIs for Real-Time Relationships, BitCoin, Peaceful Parenting, and over 100 Call-Ins.
