Can Literary Wisdom Counter Despair and Deepen Your Faith? In this episode of Good Faith Presents: Reading to Make Sense of the World, Curtis Chang and author-professor Jessica Hooten Wilson explore the spiritual insights of Flannery O'Connor's prayer journal. They examine how O'Connor's raw honesty, humility, and startling imagery confront the modern obsession with self and offer a radical vision of divine grace. Jessica helps listeners see why O'Connor's work is more than provocative—it's prophetic.

This month's Patreon Tier 2 guest is Peg Aloi. Peg is a freelance film and TV critic, a former professor of media studies, and co-editor (with Hannah Sanders) of The New Generation Witches: Teenage Witchcraft in Contemporary Culture (Routledge) and Carnivale and the American Grotesque: Critical Essays on the HBO Series (Macfarland). With Hannah she also co-organized two scholarly conferences at Harvard University on paganism, witchcraft and media. Peg's forthcoming book The Witching Hour: How Witches Enchanted the World is a cultural analysis of the witch in contemporary media. Peg was also one of the co-founders of The Witches' Voice and wrote about film and TV for the site for over a decade. Her long-running blog "The Witching Hour" can now be found on Substack. This conversation was inspired by a lecture in April of 2024 by Peg for The Last Tuesday Society called “The Satanic Panic: Its Roots and Branches,” that explored a number of disparate but often-related elements that converged to create the Satanic Panic of the 1980s and 90s, including Satanic-themed horror films. In this discussion, we pick up were Peg left off and explore how viewpoints surrounding Witchcraft and ‘The Occult' have changed since that time until our present day. Peg talks about various instances within popular culture that have shown a shift in the ‘negative' paradigm. This conversation spans several different areas, ranging from politics and society, education and scholarship, entertainment media, films and series, to magic and other ‘occult' practices.I hope you enjoy this as much as I did!You can find the Full Episode with Peg Aloi at my Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/RejectedReligion The episode is also available for a one-time purchase.

Hwæt a Movie returns with Beowulf: Prince of the Geats! Given how hard this one is to find, we'd be surprised if any of you have seen it. Released in March 2007, shortly after SYFY's Grendel and ahead of Robert Zemeckis's Beowulf, this Scott Wegener-directed indie film dives into the epic tale with a unique take on the hero and his legendary battles. And while the film's limited budget and production constraints might be apparent, its dedication to the original text shines through. Making the film more charming and admirable is the fact that the production team and actors all worked for free on this passion project. All proceeds from the sale of the DVDs for Beowulf: Prince of the Geats went to aid both the American and Norwegian Cancer Societies. Get a sense of the film by watching the trailer here. The film stars both Jayshan Jackson and Damon Lynch III as the younger and older Beowulf. Wegener's decision to depict Beowulf as the son of an adventuring African fisherman offers some interesting possibilities and an approach to the character that we haven't seen yet. It's also one of the few film adaptations to follow Beowulf home to Geatland after his time in Denmark. As always, our episode includes an exhaustive summary of the film, a Q&A discussion, and our final ratings. How do these versions of Beowulf, Grendel, and Grendel's Mother stack up against those we've seen before? And how does this quirky, low-budget film score on its fidelity to the source material and its overall entertainment value? As the length of the episode might suggest, we've got a lot to say about this one. This was a delightful film to unpack, and we hope you enjoy hearing about it as much as we enjoyed discussing it. If you're interested in reading more about Wegener's decision to cast black actors to play Beowulf and the responses it prompted, check out the following articles and discussions: Clark, David.

PART 1 of Summertime Soul Search Series: How do we find meaning (and happiness) in the contemporary age?Humans have a special need for meaning in their life. A life without meaning, many would agree, has no value. But what does meaning actually mean? And how can we ensure our life is full of it?Professor of Psychology and Cognitive Science John Vervaeke has dedicated much of his research precisely to this question. He is well-known for his attempts to define a meaningful life in an age characterised by increasing rates of depression and loneliness. He has also been at the forefront of efforts to treat studies on mindfulness and related topics with seriousness in academia.In this talk, he gives the lay of the land: why are we devoid of meaning in the current moment, and what can we do about it?Our London festival is coming up on 21-22 September at Hampstead Heath!

Wesley Towne speaks about the 4 steps that he takes in his sermon preparation process to go from the passage to his own heart and then to people of his particular context and culture. Wesley Towne resides in Davis, CA with his wife and chihuahua Lucy. They have a fondness for sunny days, healthy eating, exercise, and the ocean. He engages in speaking, podcasting, and writing on the subjects of Mental Health and Suffering, emphasizing the hope for Better Days. As the founder of the nonprofit organization Better Days, he strives to raise awareness, foster hope, and provide education on Mental Health + Suffering through digital content production and hosting Better Days Talks. Additionally, Wesley serves as the pastor of Bayside Davis. With previous experience directing a Bible College and teaching at Christian colleges and universities, he founded a church named Ekklesia in Eugene, OR in 2008. Under his leadership, Ekklesia experienced significant growth from a small gathering in a living room to a congregation of two thousand people across two campuses within five years. In 2013, Outreach Magazine recognized him as the youngest megachurch pastor in America. However, in the summer of 2018, Wesley made the difficult decision to depart from Ekklesia due to health challenges faced by his wife. Educationally, Wesley holds a bachelor's degree and two master's degrees. Above all, he is deeply committed to following Jesus, expressing love for others, and believes his purpose on earth is to offer encouragement and instill hope in individuals navigating through complex and challenging moments in life.

Why do we like horror films? Why do we gravitate to the theatre for a collective catharsis—living out our nightmares vicariously through the unwitting victim on the screen? What draws us to the shadows? All the more poignant for the Christian who shouldn't watch the bad movies. But let's take the point seriously: How might we watch horror films Christianly? Which is to say: How do we watch them well?Theologian and film critic Kutter Callaway (Fuller Theological Seminary) joins Evan Rosa for a discussion of some truly frightening horror films. His new podcast “Be Afraid” is produced by Christianity Today, and explores horror films and the theology and psychology of fearing rightly.In addition to discussing some of our favorite scary movies Kutter Callaway and Evan Rosa discuss: The psychology of fear and why people might willingly rehearse their fears; the radical vulnerability of human life that makes us susceptible to horrors; the Bible as horror genre; the human inclination toward the numinous, unknown, mysterious, and uncanny; managing our terror about death; and ultimately, how to fear rightly.This episode was made possible in part by the generous support of the Tyndale House Foundation.

In dieser Folge sprechen wir gemeinsam mit unserer Gästin Anna Kin über Sprache und Kunstaktivismus. Dabei geht es vor allem um die Dekolonisierung von den vielen Sprachen des PostOst-Raumes aus künstlerischer Perspektive. Welche Möglichkeiten und künstlerische Strategien gibt es, um die eigene Sprache von der russischen Sprachgewalt zu befreien und zu befreien? Und vor allem: Wie kann Kunstaktivismus dabei helfen, die eigene Sprache wieder neu zu entdecken? Das machen wir ganz aktiv und setzen eine Strategie gleich um: Diese Folge ist teilweise in englischer Sprache.

In episode 69 of the Podcast for Social Research, live-recorded (like episodes 67 and 68) at BISR's recent symposium Frankfurt School and the Now, BISR faculty Ajay Singh Chaudhary, Isi Litke, and Nathan Shields and guests Adam Shatz and Kate Wagner ask about the uses of critical theory for thinking about contemporary culture and cultural production, from Twitter to architecture to media mega-conglomerates like Disney. How does social media structure and even produce certain kinds of discourse (for example, YIMBY vs. NIMBY)? How can Theodor Adorno help us navigate the poles of poptimism and elitism? Why do we feel driven to “stick up” for major movie studios and franchises, and why does doing so feel and code as “progressive”? How can we think about and conduct cultural criticism today? Why are culture and cultural analysis vital to the formation of political consciousness? Can we imagine a culture that's expressive and productive of freedom, rather than domination?

On episode 167, we welcome Chuck Thompson to discuss the evolution of status and popularity, our tendency to believe it indicates inherent value, true art as opposed to popular art, status and its intrinsic association with self-esteem, whether status-seeking is bad, if human hierarchies are natural and our tendency to compare ourselves to others, the neuroscientic findings underpinning status-seeking behaviors, the problems stemming from excessive pride, if corporations will always co-opt trends, the importance of helping to increase the status of marginalized groups, men buying sports cars to compensate for small penises, art as a form of intimacy when related to deep experiences, and the downside of denying our innate need for status. Chuck Thompson is the author of the widely reviewed political screed Better Off Without ‘Em: A Northern Manifesto for Southern Secession. His writing has appeared in Outside, Politico, Esquire, Men's Journal, The New Republic, and many other publications. He's the writer and an executive producer of the Paramount+ three-part music documentary Sometimes When We Touch: The Reign, Ruin and Resurrection of Soft Rock. His newest book, available now, is called The Status Revolution: The Improbable Story of How the Lowbrow Became the Highbrow. | Chuck Thompson | ► Website | https://chuckthompson.com ► Facebook | https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100066516456795 ► The Status Revolution Book | https://bit.ly/3KrDHRn Where you can find us: | Seize The Moment Podcast | ► Facebook | https://www.facebook.com/SeizeTheMoment ► Twitter | https://twitter.com/seize_podcast ► Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/seizethemoment ► TikTok | https://www.tiktok.com/@seizethemomentpodcast ► Patreon | https://www.patreon.com/user?u=32208666

What does Prehistory mean to us now? In Back to the Stone Age: Race and Prehistory in Contemporary Culture (McGill-Queen's UP, 2022), Ben Pitcher, a Reader in Sociology at the University of Westminster, uses cultural studies to explore both the human past and our contemporary life. The book examines how ideas of the prehistoric speak to contemporary anxieties, political projects, and even diets and food choices. Moreover, many of these versions of the past are the basis for regressive political projects that use Prehistory as part of racist and sexist agendas, agendas that need to be resisted and countered with the ideas discussed in the analysis. Engaging with a huge range of cultural and social theory, as well as examples from museums and heritage sites, archaeology, and even scientific hoaxes, the book is essential reading across the arts, humanities, and social sciences, as well as for anyone interested in understanding the society today.

Zinnia Kumar is anything but unseen, but would that have been the case had she not fought so hard on so many fronts? An ecologist, activist, writer, and model, this Australian multihyphenate shares her unique journey to claiming an undeniable presence. In this episode, she discusses with Christopher Michael the stereotypes that have trapped South Asians—especially women—ultimately shaping how they see themselves. More than anything, these discriminating notions are related to consumer psychology and the images sold by the beauty, fashion, and media industries. She details some drivers of bias and unequal representation and highlights the blinding privilege of those in positions to affect change. Zinnia calls out stubborn systemic barriers and, as an optimist, offers thoughts on actionable steps toward creating a multicultural and multiethnic landscape. Her vision is one of representation of the full spectrum of human colors, shapes, and features—not as an act of tokenism—but as a reflection of our current global reality. As both a commercial face and a face for change, Zinnia profoundly understands what it means to young women everywhere to identify with visual representations. And that accurate cultural and ethnic representation is empowering and the way of the future. Episode Highlights: Why Zinnia believes consumer psychology is a driver in the commercial targeting and feedback loop around politics and unconscious biases that define the concept of beauty. Zinnia highlights two types of beauty: The homogenized ideal people see daily on social media and elsewhere; New ideals and norms in the making, which are controlled by casting directors and tastemakers. The commercial definition of beauty has expanded and has become more inclusive in terms of color, size, shape, features, and ethnic diversity; Zinnia believes in general that the beauty standard still reflects norms that existed 20–30 years ago. Enduring “Hierarchies of Visibility” projected in the media Despite inroads in colorism, the practice (and marketing) of skin bleaching remains popular globally, along with genuine social, psychological, and economic ramifications. Actionable steps for change: Ban marketing and sales of bleaching products of any type; Reject the use of color as a performative marketing strategy, which is fundamentally superficial and indifferent to deeper social and psychological issues of colorism; Increase visibility for people of color and a full range of features. Zinnia's view from behind the camera, as a social science researcher, and in front of the camera, as a model, has afforded her a glimpse of privilege and its impacts socially and psychologically, especially for young girls. A tumultuous and disadvantaged family history challenged Zinnia to intentionally practice optimism (rather than negativity and defeat). Is it truly inclusivity and belonging if culture, religion, or ethnicity define the roles in which models and others in the media are cast? Zinnia reflects on the issues shaping representations of South Asians The change that Zinnia seeks: An expanded conversation that enfranchises all under-represented minority, ethnicity, or cultural groups; Global inclusivity across all sectors—leaving no group invisible; Raising up—and bringing fresh perspective to—voices that have been historically unheard; Education through openness and candid conversations that raise awareness.

I think it is fair to say that our contemporary culture is one marked by an identity crisis. We don't know who we are anymore. In our modern quest to know ourselves, we have become more anxious, confused, isolated and despairing. As members of God's family and the Christian faith, we are knit together in community. Like changing our clothes, we are called to put off our old self and put on our new self. We are not to live as we used to live because we are not who we used to be. We are a new family with a communal code of ethics tied to the relational outworkings of joyful Christian love. Paul points out three distinctives of our new family, the new us, the true us. We must be wise with our words, good at anger, and radically forgive others. These disciplines are not only about experiencing God's power to change, but more to deeply encounter his abiding presence with us moment by moment.Sermon Notes: https://www.bible.com/events/4896328822.10.09
Guest Suzanne Leonard joined the staff of The Dartmouth, but realized the pace of a daily paper didn't give her time to spend with the stories or the words she was writing. A work-study job at the Dartmouth Alumni Magazine gave her a taste of a different pace that suited her better. A double English and psychology major, she found the perfect internship, working as an assistant at Psychology Today and left college convinced she would work in magazine publishing. Landing at Fitness magazine, she didn't end up feeling comfortable with either the content or the paycheck. She took advice from her professor father that she might want to consider graduate school, applied, and found herself—and her people—in a master's program in Wisconsin. Realizing she was better suited to write about magazines than for them, she pursued her PhD in literature and worked across a variety of media, ultimately concentrating in gender, media, and popular culture.When she realized that the winds of popular opinion were blowing in ideas about what constituted “appropriate” curricula for schools across the country and particularly her middle-class town in Massachusetts, she realized that she her knowledge of critical race and gender theory needed to be applied to the debate and she ran for an open seat on the school committee in her town.In this episode, find out from Suzanne how moving from doing what you know to casting a critical eye toward it can sometimes make more impact…on Roads Taken with Leslie Jennings Rowley.
