In this episode of Thinking Out Loud, Nathan and Cameron dive deep into the “junkification” of modern culture, using Christmas consumerism, cheap mass-produced goods, and the exhaustion of holiday commercialism as a launchpad for a thoughtful theological discussion. They explore whether our growing weariness with stuff is simply aging—or a sign of the times—while unpacking themes of relational poverty, cultural decadence, the loss of craftsmanship, and the ways economic values subtly replace biblical ones. Through humorous stories, honest cultural critique, and rich Christian reflection, Nathan and Cameron challenge believers to resist empty consumerism, rediscover meaningful presence over presents, and pursue a kingdom-shaped understanding of value, relationships, and holiday traditions.DONATE LINK: https://toltogether.com/donate BOOK A SPEAKER: https://toltogether.com/book-a-speakerJOIN TOL CONNECT: https://toltogether.com/tol-connect TOL Connect is an online forum where TOL listeners can continue the conversation begun on the podcast.

In this episode, I unpack the question - could much of the frustration and difficulty in dating and mating be attributed to (at least in part) to hyper-elite women practicing what is known as ‘Reproductive Suppression'?Vogue published an article titled ‘Is Having a Boyfriend Lame?' Which prompted Rob Henderson to put forth his hypothesis about Reproductive Suppression in this brilliant piece titled ‘Girl Boss Gatekeeping' - https://www.robkhenderson.com/p/girlb... I draw on research from Rob Henderson and Dr. Dani Sulikowski as I break down female intragroup conflict and why all the body positivity, you don't need a man, and red flag culture that seems like it's in solidarity with women might actually be a covert strategy to keep women from finding mates.Listen in to learn about how high-status females (including chimps) keep low-status females away from mates, how modern tech amplifies ‘aspirational' lifestyles, why rom-coms feel like castration for men, how dark-triad traits correlate with anti-natalism, and much more.This one is an evolutionary psychology nerding out episode - enjoy!TIMESTAMPS:00:53 —Intro 01:03 —One on one coaching spots03:15 — The Question of Elite Women as "Mean Girls"05:00 — The Proximate and Ultimate Reasons for Elite Women's Behavior06:16 — Intergroup Conflict and Covert Passive Aggression in Women 07:36 — Unconscious Competitive Strategy to Keep Women from Mates 10:12 — Girl Boss, Body Positivity, & Female Entitlement 13:16 — Technology, Consumerism, and the Tornado of Reproductive Suppression14:37 — Heartbreak of Women Who Prioritised Career Over Family 17:00 — Reproductive Sabotage: Disrupting Women's Mating Preferences 18:01 — Demonising Traditional Masculine Traits & Rom-Com Castration20:50 — Proximate vs. Ultimate Summary & Lying to Women21:58 — Elite Women's Access to Resources and Protection23:55 — Male Envy and Psychopathic Insanity 24:50 — Dark Triad Traits and Lack of Introspection25:52 — The Frustration of double standards27:16 — Historical Examples: Elizabeth Cady Stanton & Victoria Woodhull 28:54 — The Narrative of Oppression vs. Reality for Elite Women 29:57 — The Twisting of Pain into Man Envy (Betty Friedan) 31:17 — Conclusion & Call to Action for Harmony32:24 — Outro___________________________If you found some value today then help me spread the word!

Fr. Harry and Fr. Anthony explore how internet culture, consumerism, and disincarnate “platforms” distort Orthodox teaching and tempt all of us to become unappointed theologians. Drawing on Metropolitan Saba, Thinking Orthodox, St. James 3, and St. John Climacus, they unpack why theology must remain ecclesial, relational, and local—discerned and bounded within the life of the parish and the wider Church. They conclude with a pastoral call for accountability in online ministry and for internet engagement that flows out of real parish life, gratitude for one's bishop and priest, and a deeper commitment to becoming saints together face to face.

In this episode, I talk with Diana Butler Bass about her new book A Beautiful Year and the deeper story that sits beneath our experience of time. We explore how the Roman calendar still shapes us with the imagination of empire - militarism, consumerism, and control - and how the Christian calendar offers a counter-formation rooted in love, hope, peace, and a circular sense of time that keeps drawing us deeper into God. Diana walks us through Advent's darkness and silence, the meaning of waiting in an age addicted to noise, the subversive beauty of St. Martin's Day on November 11, and the power of saying “no” to imperial narratives through the ordinary practices that shape a life. We talk about storytelling, grief, Candlemas, the parables of Jesus, and how the Christian year can help us embody a different kind of presence in the world - one marked by compassion, courage, and light. This is a conversation about time, but really, it's about learning to live a better story.Diana Butler Bass, Ph.D. (Duke University) is an award-winning author of eleven books, a speaker, preacher, and a trusted commentator on religion and contemporary spirituality.

In this episode of The Generous Heart, Pastor Jacob digs into one of Jesus' most penetrating teachings on wealth and identity from Luke 12:13–21. When a man interrupts Jesus to settle a financial dispute, Jesus turns the moment into a lesson on the deep danger of letting our possessions define us.Drawing on insights from consumer psychology and the parable of the rich fool, Jacob explores how easily our sense of self becomes attached to what we have, and why that path always leads to spiritual poverty.You'll learn the three practices Jesus gives to protect your heart: see the danger, check your motives, and turn from greed. Ultimately, generosity isn't just about giving, it's a safeguard for the soul.If you've ever wrestled with contentment, identity, or the pressures of a culture built on “you are what you own,” this episode will both challenge and free you.

Love to hear from you; “Send us a Text Message”What if the ache you feel isn't a flaw to fix but a fire to aim? We open with the shocking power of eros—the sudden arrest of beauty, the pulse of attraction—and follow it to its true end: a life of self-gift that can heal hearts, families, and even a nation fraying at the seams. The story moves from a teenage moment of reverent awe to the Cross itself, where God's desire for us becomes agape: “This is my body, given for you.”Along the way, we tackle why so many feel anxious and untethered. Cut off from God, desire gets hijacked by porn, politics, and consumerism. Freedom without virtue collapses into manipulation, and culture drifts between corrupt elites and coercive ideologies. Read "Directing Our Passions and Desires to a Love that is Beautiful" Here are the links to Jack's Substack and  X https://x.com/JP2RenewalCheck out the Podcast on YouTubeContact me: info@jp2renew.orgSubscribe, share this episode with a friend who needs it, and leave a review to help others find the show.

Proverbs 3:9-17 Our guest speaker this Sunday was Franco Salvatori, an Everence stewardship consultant. Due to flight cancellations he couldn't be with us in person, so he shared his message via Zoom. Consumerism is a unifying religion in America. It's the thing that makes you wish you just had more. But as Christ's followers we're called to worship only one God, and it's not consumption. It's easy to fill our lives with stuff, but still be empty. The path toward an overflowing life is through wisdom and generosity. Honoring God with our first fruits is the practice of recognizing God's hand in providing the resources that we have. God calls us to give of our first fruits not because God needs it, but because it actually changes us. It changes our hearts and helps us focus on the giver. As we practice that discipline it creates an attitude in us that Franco called wealth. If we've developed an action of giving and of generosity, because we are seeking wisdom and we're seeking God, then it's the exact opposite of consumerism. And Proverbs tells us that is the pathway to an overflowing life.

How about some good news for a change? News that has nothing to do with Donald Whatzizname. News you might even use.It's about “The Library of Things,” a real library, but different. Just as our public libraries share a wealth of publications – this one in Brunswick, Maine, also maintains a wealth of tools, devices, equipment, and other “things” for people to check-out, use, and return.Hazel Onsrud, a creative, can-do spirit on the staff of Brunswick's Curtis Memorial Library, initiated this commonwealth of some 1,500 products that locals can borrow for free. The New York Times reports that residents are flocking to this pragmatic, beneficial resource for the common good. And why wouldn't they? After all, not everyone can afford a $350 KitchenAid mixer of their own, and a roto-tiller you might use once a year could be shared by many. Also, a bullhorn, a grain mill, a ukulele, an embossing machine – seriously, we should borrow, rather than thinking each of us must buy and store these things… or do without.This concept reduces each family's expenses, waste, and accumulation of “stuff,” while advancing cooperation and community. And the public library infrastructure is already in place to make it available.This idea is not new, nor is it unique to Brunswick. In fact, America's progressive populist movement of the 1870s built an entire economic alternative to corporate monopoly around this very concept. And today, some 2,000 “libraries-of-things” are already functioning worldwide, giving ordinary people a grassroots way to avoid profiteering, corporate consumerism.Hazel Onsrud has issued a challenge to us: “If a few of us can do this in Maine,” she says “anyone can.” And you and I are the anyones to do it.Jim Hightower's Lowdown is a reader-supported publication.

In this talk at an event in Melbourne, Australia, Acharya das explores the concepts of peace, balance, and inner fulfillment in modern society. The Bhagavad Gita's asserts that happiness cannot exist without peace. Most people's experience is not a life of peace. Consumerism, social media, and self-centeredness have contributed to widespread mental health issues and disconnection from our spiritual nature. Over the past century, people's lives have shifted from a needs-based culture to a desires-based one, largely under the influence of devious advertising psychology and now by manipulative algorithms. The result is an absence of real peace and a lack of life balance. True peace and balance will come from understanding our identity as eternal spiritual beings, temporarily residing in physical bodies. This can be experienced through regular meditation practice using spiritual sound as a means to reconnect with our spiritual identity and achieve genuine inner peace.

What does real devotion look like in a world built around comfort and convenience? In this message, Pastor Darren looks at Acts 2:42–47 and shows us a picture of the first church. It was a community of people devoted to Jesus, devoted to one another, and devoted to His mission.So much of faith today can become about consuming spiritual content, showing up to events, or chasing comfort. But the call of Jesus is different. He invites us to be all in. To live in a way that reflects heaven on earth. To be a people shaped by Scripture, filled with the Spirit, and committed to love.This teaching will help you see what the church was meant to be and how to live with wholehearted devotion in an age of consumerism.

Pastor Scott Silcox invites us to reconsider the true purpose of church gatherings as he explores the concept of God's presence in his "Build the House" series. Looking at the return of the Israelites from Babylonian exile, he reveals how their first priority wasn't building temple walls but establishing an altar—securing God's presence before anything else.• Worship is the first purpose of the church, not a precursor to the "real" content• The Israelites built an altar before rebuilding the temple because presence precedes programs• Consumerism in church culture leads to spiritual deformation rather than formation• Sacrifice forms us into Christ's likeness while consumerism deforms us into the world's likeness• The modern church often lacks the language of consecration and set-apartness• We must stop treating church as something to consume and start seeing it as a place to contribute• As "living stones," we gather to form an altar where God's presence can dwellCome ready to give, not just receive. When we approach worship with a sacrificial mindset, we create space for God to move powerfully in our lives and community.
