Podcast appearances and mentions of Craig Thompson

Today, we welcome acclaimed graphic novelist Craig Thompson to discuss his latest tome, Ginseng Roots. In this deeply personal book, Thompson returns to his rural Wisconsin roots to explore the fascinating world of ginseng cultivation that shaped his childhood. The conversation spans Craig's artistic evolution since his breakthrough memoir Blankets, his research trips to China that informed the book's historical elements, and how his early farming experiences continue to influence his creative process. You can keep up with Craig's latest work and appearances through his official website  craigthompsonbooks.com or by following him on Instagram @craigthompsonbooks. Support the show

In his award-winning 2003 graphic novel Blankets, Craig Thompson depicted his teenage love and fall from faith in rural Wisconsin. Now he returns to the story of his life with Ginseng Roots, which focuses on a minor detail that Blankets omitted: namely, 10 summers he spent as a boy weeding and harvesting American ginseng for a dollar an hour. Thompson maps the roots of the 300-year-old global ginseng trade from China and Korea to Marathon, Wisconsin, and profiles the other people tangled in the industry's whiskers: Hmong harvesters who migrated from Laos, American workers and industrial farmers caught up in the vicissitudes of global agriculture, and wild ginseng hunters the world over.Go beyond the episode:Craig Thompson's Ginseng Roots: A MemoirRead Matthew Denton-Edmunson's essay about wild ginseng hunters, “The Root Problem”Also mentioned: Scout McCloud's Understanding Comics: The Invisiible Art, Ted J.

On continue notre petit voyage dans le monde du 9ème art estival avec Habibi de Craig Thompson. L'auteur essaie (on dit bien essaie) de faire sa propre version du conte des milles et une nuit et de présenter la culture arabe découverte lors de ses voyages. Petit avertissement, cet épisode parle de violence sexuelle et d'abus. HabibiCraig Thompson, l'auteur de Habibi, a grandi dans une famille chrétienne fondamentaliste où l'accès à la culture était limité. Seuls les comics lui parvenaient, il développa alors une histoire d'amour pour eux l'amenant à en écrire. Blankets, manteau de neige, un récit auto-biographique, lui a valu de nombreuses récompenses, dont on a déjà parlé dans l'émission (https://jamesetfaye.fr/comicsdiscovery-blankets/) . Habibi est son cinquième travail publié. A travers l'histoire de Dodola et Cham, deux esclaves en fuite, Craig cherche à redorer l'image de l'Islam et du Moyen-Orient qui pâtissait en 2011 encore des tragiques évènements du 11 septembre. Sa lettre d'amour est aussi et surtout adressé à la calligraphie arabe dont les traits parcourent les pages de cette odyssée douloureuse, mais poétique et touchante. Nos chroniqueurs regrettent toutefois quelques maladresses comme l'orientalisme qui foisonne parfois entre les pages, amenant à quelques clichés sur le Moyen-Orient. Notre invitéDr. Zaïus, notre illustre invité, est le créateur et animateur du premier podcast français sur La Planète des Singes.Retrouvez son podcast sur : https://docteur-zaius.lepodcast.fr/ Si vous avez aimé Habibi et que vous voulez découvrir d'autres comics.Nous vous conseillons l'écoute de ces épisodes de ComicsDiscovery :ComicsDiscovery S08E28 : Eight Billion Genies https://jamesetfaye.fr/comicsdiscovery-s08e28-eight-billion-genies/ComicsDiscovery S08E20 : The Riddler année un https://jamesetfaye.fr/comicsdiscovery-s08e20-the-riddler-annee-un/ComicsDiscovery S08E16 : Friday https://jamesetfaye.fr/comicsdiscovery-s08e16-friday/ Le mot de la finComme toujours, nous vous invitons à venir partager votre avis avec nous, que vous soyez d'accord ou non, cela nous fait toujours plaisir d'échanger avec vous.

In this episode, Craig Thompson interviews Paul D. Miller about his book, The Religion of American Greatness: What's Wrong with Christian Nationalism? They discuss the personal background of Paul Miller, the relationship between Christianity and America, the concept of separation of church and state, and the dangers of Christian nationalism. They also touch on the influence of Christianity on the American founding, the definition of nationalism, and the importance of American ideals over heritage. The conversation explores the tension between nationalism and progressivism and the need for constructive dialogue. The conversation explores the topics of American identity, human flourishing, the relationship between Christianity and America, the role of Western and Judeo-Christian values in promoting freedom, the impact of ideas on history, the importance of democracy, the tension between free speech and promoting certain beliefs, the role of local involvement in shaping communities, the establishment of national holidays, and the dangers of Christian nationalism. Takeaways Christian nationalism is the belief that America is a Christian nation and that the government should enforce a specific cultural and religious template. The historic Baptist emphasis in political theology is the separation of church and state, which is essential for religious freedom. Christian nationalism violates both constitutional and theological principles by giving the government jurisdiction over cultural and religious identity. American identity should be defined by the ideals of the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence, not by specific cultural or religious backgrounds. Nationalism and progressivism are two extremist, illiberal movements that fuel each other and hinder constructive dialogue. Neither the left nor the right is offering a vision of American identity or human flourishing that is satisfactory. The desire to avoid oppression is universal and not uniquely Western. Democracy is not impossible, but it requires a desire for peace and a willingness to live together without killing each other. Public libraries should be open to all citizens, regardless of their beliefs, but there should be a code of conduct that regulates behavior. The government should not have the power to ban certain groups from accessing public resources. There is a need to balance the celebration of national holidays with an understanding of the historical context and the exclusion of certain groups. Christian nationalism is an over-realized eschatology that seeks to build a version of the kingdom of God on earth, which is not the purpose of Christianity. The church should be the Christian nation, reflecting the true glory of the kingdom of God. There is a danger in merging the power of religion and politics, as history has shown. It is important to have an understanding and appreciation of our history as a nation, while also recognizing the flaws and striving for a more perfect union. Sound Bites “The historic Baptist emphasis in political theology is the separation of church and state.” “Christian nationalism is when you say America is a Christian nation and the government ought to keep it that way.” “To be an American means to accept the ideas of the Constitution and the Declaration, to be loyal to them and to participate in the drama of our life in this land.” “Neither of them is offering a vision of American identity that I can support.” “We're so busy tearing each other down on either side that we don't have the opportunity to actually encourage human flourishing.” “There's nothing uniquely Western about not wanting to be oppressed.” Subscribe to The Ordinary Christian Podcast

Summary Dr. Ed Uszynski discusses his new book, Untangling Critical Race Theory, and the importance of having conversations about race. He shares his personal background and experiences with race, highlighting the need for open dialogue and introspection. The conversation delves into the concepts of critical theory and Marxism, exploring their influence on critical race theory. The hosts discuss the complexities of these ideologies and the importance of grounding our understanding in biblical principles. They also address the need to confront injustices and inequalities while avoiding the extremes of Marxism. Overall, the conversation emphasizes the importance of engaging in thoughtful and informed discussions about race. In this conversation, Ed Uszynski and Craig Thompson discuss the influence of critical theory and critical race theory on society and the church. They explore the origins of these theories and their impact on culture, politics, and social justice. They also examine the role of the church in addressing issues of injustice and the need for a biblical worldview. The conversation highlights the importance of understanding these theories and engaging in thoughtful dialogue to navigate their complexities. Takeaways Open and honest conversations about race are necessary for growth and understanding. Understanding the historical and ideological foundations of critical race theory is important for engaging in meaningful dialogue. It is possible to appreciate insights from different worldviews while remaining grounded in biblical principles. The church must confront injustices and inequalities while avoiding extreme ideologies. Engaging in thoughtful and informed discussions about race can lead to healing and growth. Critical theory and critical race theory have had a significant influence on society and the church. Understanding the origins and impact of these theories is crucial for engaging in thoughtful dialogue. The church has a role in addressing issues of injustice and promoting biblical social justice. A biblical worldview should inform our understanding of social justice and guide our actions. Both the left and the right have co-opted social justice for their own agendas, but a biblical perspective transcends political ideologies. Sound Bites “We need to be reminded that we don't need to be afraid of these conversations. These conversations matter.” “Anywhere that Satan is hanging out, it makes sense that it'll be a difficult conversation, a difficult topic to try to step into.” “We need to be willing to actually deconstruct what we're hearing from other places.” “Not only did it not fail because there were government interventions to help it get through its dips the same way we have interventions today, but you had leaders that rose up and took Marx's ideas and became tyrants with them, right? Brought atrocity to the world that the world has never seen.” “There's problems with it, but it's rooted in the truth of their intention.” “As a solution, and Craig, let's stop here just for a second, because a theory in and of itself is a lens through which to view the world. It's making an observation about the world.” Chapters 00:00 Introduction and Background 02:12 The Importance of Conversations about Race  08:42 The Influence of Critical Theory and Marxism 18:15 Grounding Our Understanding in Biblical Principles 26:19 Confronting Injustices and Inequalities 31:46 The Need for Thoughtful and Informed Discussions about Race 33:40 The Influence of Critical Theory and Critical Race Theory 35:25 Navigating the Complexities of Critical Theory and Critical Race Theory 38:18 The Role of the Church in Addressing Injustice 40:26 Promoting Biblical Social Justice 49:38 Transcending Political Ideologies with a Biblical Worldview Subscribe to The Ordinary Christian Podcast

Priest accused by cops of spending over $40,000 of church funds on Candy Crush and Pokémon Go, says it might have happened because he's not a 'details guy'PC Gamer, By Joshua Wolens, on May 1, 2024https://www.pcgamer.com/games/priest-accused-by-cops-of-spending-over-dollar40000-of-church-funds-on-candy-crush-and-pokemon-go-says-it-might-have-happened-because-hes-not-a-details-guy/The conversation revolves around Reverend Lawrence Kozak, accused of misusing church funds. Initially accused of spending $40,000, further investigation revealed an additional $215,000 in Apple transactions over four years. Kozak claims it's not about greed but about "leveling up," leading to speculation on his motives. Despite the sizable sums, the investigation found no evidence of cooked books; all transactions were accounted for, raising questions about the oversight within the church.Phoebe and Eli draw parallels to other cases of financial mismanagement, like Craig Thompson's misuse of union funds.

On this episode, Dr. Kevin Gushiken and I discuss his upcoming book A Theology of Play and the importance of incorporating play into the Christian life. He explores the reasons why Christians often don't prioritize play and suggests that grounding play in theology and scripture can give us permission to enjoy life. He emphasizes the need for a playful attitude and spontaneous moments of play, as well as scheduled play.  Dr. Gushiken also highlights the benefits of play in relationships, workplaces, and discipleship. In this conversation, Kevin Gushiken and Craig Thompson discuss the importance of play in our lives, especially in the midst of pain and struggle. They explore the idea that play brings joy, freedom, and perspective, and helps us connect with others and with God. They also discuss the impact of technology on play and the need to prioritize play in our lives. The conversation concludes with a discussion on favorite ways to play and a reminder to step into play and make it a part of our daily lives. Takeaways Grounding play in theology and scripture can give Christians permission to enjoy life. Playfulness and spontaneous moments of play should be incorporated into all aspects of life, not just scheduled play. Play can deepen relationships, build trust, and increase productivity in workplaces. Play can be a valuable tool for discipleship and spiritual growth. The Bible affirms the importance of play and enjoyment of life. Play brings joy, freedom, and perspective to our lives. Play helps us connect with others and with God. Technology can hinder our ability to play and disconnect from the busyness of life. We need to prioritize play and make it a part of our daily lives. Play can be a source of strength and resilience in the midst of pain and struggle. Sound Bites “Why is it that Christians, and I think this applies to people who are non-Christians as well, why is it that we don't play?” “Have you played this week?” “We're not doing an excellent job at discipling young men… We've created discipleship methods and models that are very driven towards… readers… but just aren't interested in reading a 300-page book on theology or a 250-page book on spiritual disciplines.” “We have an Abba father. Why would it be any different for our Abba father when he gave us this good creation? I think he gets great pleasure when we enjoy the relationships, the gifts, the creation, the ability to play, to connect with people.” “How connected are we to our phone, our email? And so we almost become sterilized in life, right? Because we're so connected to technology that we don't disconnect to enjoy.” “The best antidote to mental health is let's go play a little bit.” Chapters 00:00Introduction: A Theology of Play 08:54Play as a Discipleship Method 23:15Play in the Workplace: Increasing Productivity 30:59Disconnecting from Technology and Prioritizing Play 40:29Rediscovering Play as Empty Nesters 53:12Stepping into Play: Making it a Habit and Routine Preorder A Theology of Play here.

Overall, they highlight the holistic nature of the Christian life and the importance of stewarding our bodies for the glory of God. Takeaways Regular exercise can make us better husbands, fathers, and pastors by increasing our energy levels and improving our overall well-being. Embracing difficulty in exercise can train our will and help us develop discipline in other areas of life. Different types of exercise, such as aerobic training, strength training, and balance training, all have their own benefits and can contribute to our physical and spiritual health. Exercise should be enjoyable and bring a sense of playfulness to our lives. The biblical metaphor of running can remind us of the importance of perseverance and finishing strong in our spiritual journey. Our sedentary lifestyles can hinder our ability to glorify God and serve others. Caring for our bodies through exercise is a spiritual discipline that can enhance our mental and emotional well-being. Physical activity can be a way to bond with our children and set a healthy example for them. Exercise should be approached with balance and moderation, avoiding both neglect and idolatry. Engaging in physical activity can lead to a more joyful and obedient Christian life.

No matter what this October portends for the Orioles, the immediate and perhaps extended future appears to hold considerable promise for the franchise. Here's hoping Baltimore baseball fans get to experience the joy of rooting for a championship-caliber team in person at Camden Yards after suffering through such a miserable past couple of decades or so. Now, you're probably asking ‘where's this guy been?' More than usual, that is. Didn't he hear that the Orioles and the state of Maryland have locked arms on a 30-year lease to keep the Birds in Baltimore deep into this century? Wasn't that our new governor, Wes Moore, in the owner's box the night the team clinched the American League East, yucking it up with Orioles CEO John Angelos, as the new deal was announced? That was the conclusion that we were supposed to draw from all that hoopla. But, as our good friends in Public Enemy admonished us so many years ago, don't believe the hype. Indeed, the very next morning, we found out that the impression we were left with, that five years of protracted negotiations between the Maryland Stadium Authority and the Orioles had come to an end with the Birds agreeing to stay in their nest for the next three decades was a false one. Instead of signing a binding lease, the two parties entered into a memorandum of understanding, the legal equivalent of one of those promise rings folks give and receive before engagement and marriage. Not a lot is known about what's in this MOU. The two sides have kept things close to the vest, especially since Moore took office and installed Craig Thompson as the MSA chairman. We don't know whether Thompson or Moore, who has a friendship with Angelos, is the principal negotiator. We don't know when the MOU will be replaced with an actual lease or how long the negotiations will go on. Everything about this process has been out of the public sunlight. In fact, things have been so private that MSA members reportedly agreed to the MOU in a phone call and not in a public meeting. The Baltimore Banner reported that Thompson called each of the members of the authority and got their approval, which he deems to be legal. And perhaps it is, but it sure doesn't seem like the way business should be done. Not when the Orioles can receive up to $600 million in state bonds to renovate their 30-year old ballpark. Not when the Orioles will be freed from the requirement that they pay rent for Oriole Park, as one of the terms in the MOU seems to indicate, in exchange for taking over management of the park. Not when the club would apparently get the right to develop some of the land around the stadium, a potentially lucrative chit. So far, Moore has been publicly seen in an Orioles jersey, but hasn't been heard uttering much more than platitudes about what happens next in terms of getting his buddy John Angelos to put actual pen and ink to that 30-year lease. A promise ring or MOU is nice. A marriage contract, or, in this case, a lease, would be better. And that's how I see it for this week.

Why is the American agriculture story relevant to you (yes, you)? Is comic book a genre or a medium? Why should you care about where your food comes from? How does the story of an herbal root connect the United States and China? This week, we chat with graphic novelist Craig Thompson about his latest autobiographical comic book series Ginseng Roots. Kevin stumbled upon an issue in the series and got super curious - what could an American artist possibly say about Northeastern China and an herbal root best known in Chinese medicine? He ended up loving the entire series. Ginseng Roots explores class divide, agriculture, holistic healing, the 300-year-long trade relationship between China and North America, childhood labor, and the bond between two brothers. Craig Thompson is a cartoonist and the author of the award-winning books Blankets; Good-bye, Chunky Rice; and Habibi. He grew up in a rural farming community in Marathon, Wisconsin, world capital of ginseng.
