In this episode, we'll cover how magic operates—not as an omnipotent force but rather as a subtle method for shifting probabilities and influencing outcomes. We'll discuss key magical principles, including the Path of Least Resistance, which highlights why aligning magical intentions with existing socio-political conditions enhances effectiveness, and the Principle of Proportional Energy, the need for energetic input to match the magnitude of desired outcomes.We'll also explore practical strategies for magical rituals aimed at protecting nations from conflict, influencing political decisions ethically, fostering peace, and establishing harmonious alliances. Moreover, we'll consider the essential concept of counter-magic, acknowledging and navigating opposing magical forces that can emerge in politically charged environments.Drawing on historical, anthropological, and fieldwork insights, this episode will offer practical guidelines for collective magical workings, including stepwise goal-setting and proportional energy use to maximise effectiveness.Whether you're a practitioner, scholar, or simply curious, join me LIVE or later on demand to unpack the complex intersection of magic, politics, and conflict resolution.CONNECT & SUPPORT

In this episode, we explore the newly published book Texts and Contexts from the History of Feminism and Women'sRights in East-Central Europe, Second Half of the Twentieth Century (CEU Press, 2024) edited by Zsófia Lóránd, Adela Hîncu, Jovana Mihajlović Trbovc, and Katarzyna Stańczak-Wiślicz. Our conversation with the editors delves intothe book's aim of highlighting the often-overlooked contributions of East Central European women to global feminist thought and activism. We discuss the selection processof a diverse range of texts and artworks that challenge the dominant politicaland intellectual canons, focusing on the importance of including works thatdon't necessarily self-identify as feminist but engage with themes of systemicoppression. The discussion also touches on how socialism and the post-socialisttransitions shaped feminist movements in the region, notable figures and textsfrom the volume, encountered controversies during the process of editing aswell as the books' reception, and finally, the book's potential to inspirefuture feminist research and activism in East-Central Europe.

In times of conflict and protracted crises, social protection systems are often strained, yet they remain vital in supporting the most vulnerable populations.

Jarrod Morris - Historical, cultural, geographic, and linguistic contexts matter in how we read and understand the Bible. We are going to spend some weeks exploring our relationship to this sacred book and how this ancient library of poems, letters, and stories can transform our lives and offer wisdom for a modern world. We understand the Bible as the unfolding story of humanity's growing comprehension of who God is, who we are, and what our role is in creation. It is the continuing story in which you are both rooted and invited to play a part, in our generation.

From service-learning projects with Roma communities to community music initiatives, her work highlights the transformative potential of collaboration, co-construction, and empathy in education and beyond.Read the original research:doi.org/10.1007/978-3-030-87406-3_2doi.org/10.1007/978-3-031-60583-3_13

Jennifer is the Associate Professor and Program Director of Theology and the Arts at United Theological Seminary of the Twin Cities. Her recent publications include The Good Shepherd: Image, Meaning, and Power and The Ashburnham Pentateuch and its Contexts. Jennifer earned her PhD in Religion (Historical Studies) from Vanderbilt University, where she focused on early medieval art and theological controversies. Before that, she graduated with an MAR in Visual Studies from the Institute of Sacred Music at Yale Divinity School.​ In this conversation, Jennifer and I explored the agency of images, the implications of iconoclasm, and the evolution of religious representation as it applies to the concepts of the Good Shepherd and the Trinity. We also delved into ritual theory, viewer reception, and the impact of digital culture on our engagement with religious images. Our conversation also addressed the materiality of art, the way perspectives on imagery vary across different Christian traditions, and the importance of presence in both religious and secular art.

Our host Iman Mossavat invites Dr. Artin Entezarjou, a board-certified specialist in general medicine, to debate the role AI in medicine. He discusses AI's advancements in healthcare and its challenges in complex clinical scenarios. “Humans can outperform AI when questions aren't multiple choice, especially when psychosocial factors are involved,” Dr. Entezarjou says. His research comparing GPT-4 with human doctors shows that AI struggles with the complexity and context of real-world medicine. “When we want to make decisions in clinical practice, we need to consider more than just symptoms. We need to understand the patient's preferences and context,” he adds. Dr. Entezarjou emphasizes the importance of human judgment in healthcare, stating, “We're still the masters of knowing when we need more context. But this is rapidly changing.” He calls for AI systems that are robust, trustworthy, and intuitive, to support physicians rather than replace them. “AI can be superhuman in specific areas, but in general, we still need human judgment,” Dr. Entezarjou concludes. Dr. Entezarjou holds a Ph.D. from Lund University and is a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Gothenburg. He works at Tandem Health, a startup using large language models to automate administrative tasks for clinicians. Dr. Entezarjou has worked on eVisits in Swedish primary care, focusing on telemedicine, automated patient histories, and machine learning. Podcasts for Brainport featured by Radio 4 Brainport, 2025

How does one preach cross-culturally? What even counts as cross-cultural? On this episode, Ed and Jeremy sit down with Walter Carter III to discuss the benefits and challenges of preaching outside one's regular pulpit ministry. 

One of the generally accepted facts about theatre in the time of Shakespeare and Jonson is that boy actors took female roles and women were banned from appearing on the stage. This is in fact only partly true and my guest for today's episode has made a study of how early modern actresses, from traditions on the European continent, influenced the English stage. During out conversation we covered aspects of European theatre from the early 1500's, and Commedia Dell'arte in particular. You will find my take on this in season three of the podcast and if you have already listened to that hopefully some of the names will still sound familiar. We also talked about the influence of actresses on playwrights and plays from the period and hopefully you will remember Lilly, Marlowe and Kyd and The Spanish Tragedy from season four of the podcast. All those episodes are still out there on your podcast feed if you need a refresher. Pamela Allen Brown is Professor Emerita of English, University of Connecticut.

​​ What makes a great conversation?“Many of us dread small talk,” says Harvard Business School professor and author Alison Wood Brooks. Yet she believes these everyday exchanges are the gateway to deeper connection and opportunity. An expert in the science of conversation, Wood Brooks, teaches a popular course titled Talk and has spent years researching what makes a great conversation. "Big things often start with small talk," she notes. "It's not about avoiding it; it's about knowing how to use it to uncover something meaningful."In this LinkedIn Live episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, Wood Brooks joins host Matt Abrahams to share a practical framework for mastering small talk and making it enjoyable, even for those who loathe it. Drawing from her "topic pyramid" approach, Wood Brooks breaks down how to elevate a conversation from mundane chitchat to something memorable. “Think of it as a treasure hunt,” she suggests. “Small talk is where you start looking for golden nuggets that can lead to deeper engagement.”Episode Reference Links:Alison Wood Brooks Alison's Book: TalkEp.73 Listen Up: Why It's Better to Be Interested than Interesting Ep.89 Listen, Listen, Listen: How to Build Deep Connections Connect:Premium Signup >>>> Think Fast Talk Smart PremiumEmail Questions & Feedback >>> hello@fastersmarter.ioEpisode Transcripts >>> Think Fast Talk Smart WebsiteNewsletter Signup + English Language Learning >>> FasterSmarter.ioThink Fast Talk Smart >>> LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTubeMatt Abrahams >>> LinkedInChapters:(00:00) - Introduction (02:05) - What Makes a Good Conversation?

In this episode of Cult Film School, Adrian and Dion overstay their welcome in Fairvale to soak in the ambience of the three Psycho sequels: Richard Franklin's Psycho II (1983), Anthony Perkin's Psycho III (1986), & Mick Garris's Psycho IV: The Beginning (1990). They discuss the different attempts at returning to the 1960 film, and the different ways the sequels remake and reimagine it. They also consider the many incarnations of Norman Bates while attempting to answer the question, ‘How many film references can one sequel have?'

In this episode, we have the pleasure of speaking with Liz, a respected voice in the realm of listening and cultural dynamics. Liz brings a unique perspective on how listening varies across different cultures and the importance of adapting our listening styles to foster deeper connections. Dr. Elizabeth S. Parks is an instructor at the University of Nevada Las Vegas. An affiliate faculty with the Colorado School of Public Health. Dr. Park's work is at the intersection of social science and the humanities and explores how we can improve listening across diversity and difference. Today  she has over 50 peer reviewed publications and two acclaimed books, including the recently published book that we'll talk about in the podcast, Listening the Key Concepts, which explores 177 different ways to listen. Her books bring deep insight into ethics and the power of listening. Liz shares her journey of growing up in a bicultural home, where she learned early on that listening is not a one-size-fits-all approach. She discusses the contrasting ways she showed respect and honor to her family members from different cultural backgrounds, highlighting the significance of adapting her listening style.    "The way that we show up as listeners is really the first act of communication, not the second."– Elizabeth S. Parks    SUPERPOWER Notes:  05:08 – Liz reflects on her childhood experiences in a bicultural home and how they shaped her understanding of listening.  07:57 – The conversation shifts to Liz's adult experiences and the challenges of adapting her listening style when interacting with her partner's family.  10:22 – Liz emphasizes the importance of checking in with others to align expectations and ensure effective communication.  11:20 – The concept of code-switching is introduced, explaining how individuals navigate different cultural contexts through their listening behaviors.  20:05 – Liz discusses the importance of listening to oneself and maintaining authenticity while adapting to various cultural environments.  18:04 – The conversation delves into the research behind listening, with Liz sharing her motivations for studying the topic and the ethical implications of listening.  23:11 – Liz outlines three critical questions regarding listening: When do we listen? What kind of listening do we engage in? When do we stop listening?  34:07 – The discussion highlights the various types of listening, including horizontal and vertical listening, and their relevance in organizational contexts.  45:28 – Liz shares her insights on dialogic listening and the importance of creating meaning together in conversations. Key Takeaways “The way that I listen really, really matters for the ways that those relationships played out.” – Elizabeth S. Parks  “Listening is work in these different cultures, but listening to ourselves and being really true to ourselves is also extremely important.” – Elizabeth S. Parks  “In order to be the kind of listeners we want to be, we need to be a bit more strategic about our own energy flows.” – Elizabeth S.

How is the Holy Spirit leading us to engage with scripture in new and fresh ways? That's what Ruth and guest Esau McCaulley discuss this week. Esau shares about his work editing The New Testament in Color: A Multi-Ethnic Commentary on the New Testament. They discuss how we need each other, reading and interpreting across all kinds of different cultures and contexts in order to best discern the mind of Christ, how differently we can view a biblical story depending on which character's shoes we put ourselves in, and the importance of relinquishing control when it comes to a broader reading of scripture. This season we are exploring the future of Christian spirituality. Based on her own experience and the lives of people she accompanies on the journey, Ruth has been naming what she is noticing and observing regarding the future of Christian spirituality– how the Spirit is moving and how we can align ourselves to participate in the future God is leading us into. Elements she is naming include respect for the role of desire; emphasis on spiritual direction; welcoming and inclusive; committed to justice; and more. This season Ruth will sit down with thoughtful Christian leaders to discuss their thoughts on one of these elements, as it has to do with the future of Christian spirituality. This season was inspired by the Beyond Words series by the same name.

This year at the church we have been moving our Faith Forward by exploring discipleship in the gospel of Matthew. Near the end of the book of Matthew, Jesus calls his disciples to give special consideration for those on the margins of society, what he calls "the least of these". In taking care of orphans, widows, prisoners, and the like, we have the privilege of serving Jesus, himself. This summer at PLCPC, while Pastor Karla is on Sabbatical, we have the unique opportunity to hear from some of our Christian sisters and brothers who are doing this type of frontline discipleship ministry. The speakers range from those doing ministry to the unhoused, to those releasing people in bondage from human trafficking, to those helping refugees on our own border. Hopefully, you will be inspired and encouraged to take your own step in deeper discipleship by hearing their stories. Wherever God calls, might we all have the courage to answer. Rev. Dr. Sean Chow is the Executive Director of the San Diego Presbytery. He is leading the presbytery through a strategic vision to plant churches, revitalize churches, and be more missionally focused. Sean was the Associate for 1001 New Worshiping Communities for Training and Leadership Cohorts for the Presbyterian Church. He resources and consults with regional denomination bodies, churches, and church plants as they launch new creative expressions of church. This week, Rev. Dr. Chow examines how pastors, church leaders, and congregations are searching to reconnect themselves to a changing culture. The church we once knew has lost its relevance and is searching for meaning amidst shifting contexts. No longer is the church the priority of families and the spiritual pivot point for communities. It has been replaced with less engagement of its members, low involvement, and programs that are not connecting with those outside its walls. The church, once relevant has become a relic of a time gone by, but how do we engage those outside the church wall?  Passage: Matthew 9:35-38 We have three worship opportunities for you to experience: 9:00 a.m. - Sanctuary Service 9:30 a.m. - Online Service 10:30 a.m. - Chapel Service  Please consider joining us for one of these services.  To view past worship services along with other digital content, go to our Youtube Channel @PointLomaChurchOnline.  To get involved in what God is doing within our community, please visit our website at www.pointlomachurch.org.

This little mini episode continues on from the last episode on cultural beliefs in relation to sleep. I talk about how looking at sleep practices all around the world helps us understand biological needs and cultural practices. Babies and children vitally need sleep, so it's adaptive for there to be many ways to support them to be able to go to sleep in whatever climate and culture, but these different ways have consequences in other areas. There are three reasons I find it helpful to look at the wider cultural context with sleep: To see how sleep practices are related to climate, culture, etc. To get free from shame and guilt about what others might think if you choose your own way. To see clearly what you might hvae been told is from a cultural belief rather than what's most helpful for babies and children. I also talk about the three main ways for sleep to happen: With closeness - eg movement, feeding, etc. -> frequent night waking. Without closeness - eg. swaddling, stillness, etc -> baby wakes up but doesn't call out. Aware Parenting: Closeness and natural relaxation through release -> more relaxation and more restful sleep and longer sleep.
