In this episode of Thinking Out Loud, Nathan and Cameron offer a deep theological analysis of current events by engaging Daniel Hummel's provocative claim that “secular Protestantism is America's religion,” exploring why both liberal Protestantism and evangelicalism may be declining precisely because of their cultural success. Through thoughtful discussion on sociology of religion, expressive individualism, ecclesiology, and biblical anthropology, Nathan and Cameron examine how Enlightenment values, spiritual individualism, and unintended theological consequences have reshaped Christianity in America. Drawing on insights from Christian Smith, Mere Orthodoxy, and historic Christian doctrine, they contrast liberal Protestantism, evangelicalism, and Pentecostalism while asking whether churches today take themselves seriously as spiritual entities. This conversation is designed for Christians seeking rigorous theological reflection on cultural change, church decline, spiritual hunger, and the future of Christian witness in a post-Christian age.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.

1 in 5 Canadians are 65 or older, meaning some difficult conversations may be held around the dinner table this holiday season.

And how do we tackle these tough conversations, especially for the 'sandwich generation'?Host Maria Kestane speaks to Dr. Howard Chertkow, Leading Canadian Research Scientist at Baycrest Health Science to discuss how to spot the difference between organic, age-related habits versus symptoms of cognitive decline, and how Canada should get ahead of the struggles facing its aging population.

In this episode, Aaron welcomes real estate developer Bobby Fijan to discuss one of the most overlooked crises in American urban life: the dramatic decline of children in major cities. Once filled with kids playing in the streets, neighborhoods in New York, San Francisco, Chicago, and beyond are now increasingly childless. Bobby and Aaron explore the causes—from Richard Florida's influential “creative class” vision that reshaped city priorities, to financial incentives driving developers to build studios and one-bedrooms instead of family-sized apartments, to skyrocketing private-school costs and the loss of family-friendly infrastructure.They also examine why this matters: cities are engines of opportunity and culture, but forcing ambitious young people to choose between career growth and starting a family is a societal failure. Bobby shares his vision for “baby maybe” housing, practical ways to make cities welcoming for young families again, and why a biblical image of elderly people watching children play in the streets should inspire modern urban planning. The conversation ends with a provocative look at how cities have become extraordinarily dog-friendly—at the expense of being kid-friendly.If you care about the future of America's greatest cities, this is a must-listen.CHAPTERS(00:00 - Intro & Welcome Bobby Fijan)(00:55 - The Collapse of Children in Big Cities)(03:17 - Why Kids Disappear After Age 5 (And Now Even Younger))(04:31 - Richard Florida and the Rise of the Creative Class)(07:13 - How Cities Catered to Young Singles—and Forgot Families)(10:55 - The Insane Cost of Private Schools in Cities)(12:47 - Decline of Catholic/Parochial Schools)(14:22 - Why Childless Cities Matter)(17:48 - Economic & Cultural Hubs Need Families Too)(19:45 - Texas Cities vs. Legacy East Coast Cities)(23:35 - Why We Keep Building Studios & One-Bedrooms)(26:23 - Financialization of Housing & Developer Incentives)(28:28 - Introducing “Baby Maybe” Housing)(31:29 - How to Fix the System (Fair Housing, Subsidies, Vision))(36:36 - Dogs, Kids, and the Future of Urban Life)(46:47 - Closing Thoughts)BOBBY FIJAN LINKS:

Get my new book: https://bronsonequity.com/fireyourselfDownload my new special report - How to Use Inflation to Your Advantage - www.bronsonequity.com/inflationIn this episode of the Mailbox Money Show, Bronson and Nate sit down with legendary real estate investor Dwan Bent-Twyford to explore one of the most unconventional — and profitable — strategies in real estate: buying and revitalizing an entire small-town downtown.Dwan shares the remarkable story of how she and her family began acquiring properties in Clinton, Iowa, eventually owning dozens of parcels and playing a key role in transforming the town's downtown district. The conversation dives into opportunity zones, owner financing, grant money, small-town incentives, and why shrinking Midwest towns can still produce exceptional cash flow and long-term appreciation.Dwan also reflects on her 35+ year real estate journey — from starting as a broke single mom to completing over 2,000 deals — and explains why focusing on people in distress (foreclosures, probate, divorces, burned-out landlords) has always been her core strategy, regardless of market conditions.Dwan Bent-Twyford is a veteran real estate investor, author, educator, and podcast host with over three decades of experience and more than 2,000 completed deals. Known as the “Queen of Short Sales,” Dwan has built wealth through wholesaling, rehabbing, rentals, and creative financing, while mentoring thousands of investors nationwide. Today, she's helping revive small-town America—one building at a time.TIMESTAMPS0:41 - Episode Intro1:03 - Scaling to Bigger Deals1:54 - Guest Intro: Dwan Bent-Twyford3:07 - Rehabbing Clinton, Iowa Downtown4:12 - Town's Decline and Rejuvenation Vision4:44 - Opportunity Zones and Grants7:01 - OZ Benefits: No Cap Gains After 10 Years10:16 - Population Trends and Incentives15:38 - Core Strategy: Target Distressed Public Records21:03 - Early Struggles: Broke Single Mom Pivot22:42 - First Equity Partnering Deal24:23 - Wholesaling 1,000+ Properties with Partner25:45 - Current Opportunities: Distressed Sellers27:17 - 125-Property Portfolio Acquisition Story29:30 - Connect with Dwan31:03 - Debrief: Action Creates OpportunitiesConnect with the Guest:Website: http://dwanderful.com/Instagram: @dwanderfulFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/Dwanderful/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/the-investor's-edge-university/Tiktok: @officialrealestateguru#RealEstateInvesting#SmallTownRevitalization#OpportunityZones#Wholesaling#MultifamilyDeals#FinancialFreedom#InvestorStrategies

In this December 2025 edition of "Ask the Expert" from Sprott Money, Craig Hemke hosts Dr. EJ Antoni, Chief Economist at the Heritage Foundation, for an urgent discussion on the Federal Reserve's latest actions, including the end of QT and the surprising restart of QE-style asset purchases. With the Fed injecting liquidity back into the system and monetary policy shifting rapidly, what does this mean for the gold price, silver price, and your investments in precious metals? Dr. Antoni unpacks the real effects of money creation, discusses the weakening demand for the U.S. dollar globally, and explains how central bank gold buying continues to shape the price of gold and price of silver. If you're looking to understand how to buy gold, buy silver, or position yourself ahead of 2026's volatile markets, this podcast is essential viewing. Note - This Ask The Expert Session was recorded on December 15, 2025.

Wild week for precious metals: despite violent intraday swings, gold still closed up ~2.2% around $4,080 and silver up ~4.7% above $50—with silver briefly tagging $54+ overnight. The key: $4,000 is acting as gold's new floor (just like $3,000 became the new $2,000), and $50 is emerging as support for silver. Meanwhile, risk is coming off across markets: NASDAQ down ~4–5%, Treasuries selling (yields up), and crypto cracked back below 100K. Capital is rotating toward real safe havens and cash-generating miners. In this wrap: Asian session buying vs U.S. session selling, why the biggest drops happen late-week, how Fed indecision + sticky inflation support metals, and why policy gimmicks (tariff “dividends,” selective tariff cuts, attacks on producers, mortgage backstops) are bullish for gold in the real world. I also cover gap-up risk into Sunday night/Monday, and why the miners' earnings torque is still being mispriced.

For our special celebration of Jane Austen's 250th birthday, we welcome editors Jenny Davidson (Pride and Prejudice, 2023), Stephanie Insley Hershinow (Sense and Sensibility, 2024; Emma, 2022), and Patricia Matthew (Mansfield Park, 2026).

Today, Paul, Evan, and Jim discuss why steady population growth is an important factor in an economy's health and prosperity. The problem is that population growth is difficult to affect through policy. Listen along as these advisors discuss how the U.S. government has worked to incentivize marriage and family, whether the Trump accounts are a similar tactic, and how policies that slow immigration also exacerbate the issue of population growth.   Want to cut through the myths about retirement income and learn evidence-based strategies backed by over a century of data?

The modern West is in decline. Economic stagnation, rising tax burdens, moral disorientation, political corruption, bloated bureaucracies, and soaring levels of poverty, drug addiction and homelessness, all point to a faltering civilization. While many agree that the West is faltering, explanations as to why vary; some blame the collapse of religion and the loss of […] The post Why Weak People Create Hard Times – The Biological Decline of the West first appeared on Academy of Ideas.

Send us a textI am very cautious about predictions.  All the pundits are doing those, plus most of them seem to be chasing headines.  I have made an exception in this case, because I think Trump has peaked and is on his decline.  Am I just doing what others are doing and over-reading headlines?  Maybe.  But I think I see something worth noting. You are welcome to spend 29 minutes see if you agree. Feedback welcome.  Rstock@Umich.edu 

Europe's Defense Dilemma and Demographic Decline: Colleague Mary Kissel attributes Europe's inability to fund Ukraine's defense to decades of relying on U.S. protection while prioritizing generous welfare states, citing "scary statistics" regarding France's aging population and pension burdens, arguing that Europe must pursue economic growth rather than government handouts to survive security challenges.

Europe's Economic Stagnation and the Innovation Gap: Colleague Joseph Sternberg discusses Europe's economic decline relative to the U.S., driven by high energy costs and excessive regulation, noting a growing debate in Brussels about deregulation but arguing Europe lacks a unified vision to encourage the entrepreneurship and healthcare innovation seen in the American system. 1954

The Decline of FARA Enforcement and Politicized Justice: Colleague Ken Vogel argues that enforcement of the Foreign Agents Registration Act is weakening, citing Rudy Giuliani's work for sanctioned Balkan leaders and Attorney General Pam Bondi's potential decriminalization of FARA, suggesting the U.S. is returning to a "Wild West" era of unregulated foreign influence where laws are flouted. 1959 SEPT

The Strategic Implosion of China and Global Realignments: Colleague Gregory Copley asserts that the People's Republic of China has strategically collapsed due to economic failure and demographic decline, claiming Xi Jinping is no longer effectively in power, noting that Russia is distancing itself from Beijing and Western leaders like Albanese are pivoting back toward Washington. 1942

In this episode of Explaining History, Nick analyzes the newly published 2025 US National Security Strategy, a document that could be considered a foundational text for the global far-right.We explore how this strategy, with its language of "civilizational erasure" and "European greatness," mirrors the rhetoric of leaders like Viktor Orban and the conspiracy theories of the "Great Replacement." Nick argues that this is not just ideology; it is a manifesto for American interference in European elections, designed to undermine social democracy and pave the way for deregulation favorable to US capital.From the demonization of migration to the cynical normalization of Russia, we unpack how the Trump administration is attempting to reshape Europe in its own image—and why the economic weakness of the continent leaves it vulnerable to this new, aggressive Monroe Doctrine.Key Topics:The 2025 Strategy: A blueprint for far-right interventionism.Civilizational Rhetoric: How "Great Replacement" theory has entered US policy.Economic Imperialism: The drive to deregulate Europe for American corporations.The Future of NATO: Why the US is pivoting towards "patriotic" (i.e., far-right) allies.References:Cas Mudde's analysis in The GuardianOswald Spengler's The Decline of the WestRenaud Camus' The Great ReplacementExplaining History helps you understand the 20th Century through critical conversations and expert interviews.

Egypt's Decline and the Rise of Israel: Colleague Eric Cline explains that while Egypt survived the collapse, it merely "coped" rather than flourished, entering a chaotic era known as the Third Intermediate Period; as Egypt retreated from the international stage, a power vacuum allowed smaller entities like the Israelites to emerge, while recent DNA evidence from Ashkelon confirms the Philistines' origins in southern Europe, likely Crete or Sardinia, showing they migrated and intermarried with local Canaanites rather than simply conquering them. 1894

Kids have a less time for unsupervised, unstructured play than they did 40-50 years ago. Kids are also a lot less happy then they were back then. But has one actually caused the other? A new study says it has. Psychologist Dr. Peter Gray and his associates at Boston College recently published the paper ⁠Decline in independent activity as a cause of decline in children's mental well-being,⁠ which suggests that the decline in play and the decline in children's well-being are directly correlated: “Our thesis is that a primary cause of the rise in mental disorders (among children and teens) is a decline over decades in opportunities for children and teens to play, roam and engage in other activities, independent of direct oversight and control by adults.” In this episode we discuss the fascinating research explored in this study, the difference in our freewheeling neighborhood childhoods and our own kids' more curated daily existences, and how letting our children take independent risks—and even get a few bumps and bruises— is setting them up for a sense of well-being that is all their own. Here are links to some of the resources mentioned in the episode: ⁠The 1000 Hours Outside Podcast⁠ is new to Adalyst Media! 200 episodes of inspiration on how to reclaim the finite moments of childhood through prioritizing outdoor play. our⁠ recent Fresh Take with Dr. Camilo Ortiz⁠ Peter Gray, et. al: ⁠"Decline in Independent Activity as a Cause of Decline in Children's Mental Wellbeing,"⁠ Journal of Pediatrics Mia Venkat, Kathryn Fox, Juana Summers for NPR: ⁠"How lack of independent play is impacting children's mental health"⁠ We love the sponsors that make this show possible!

It’s estimated that around 7 million Americans have Alzheimer’s disease, a number that’s expected to double by 2060. But researchers have found that some of the highest rates of cognitive impairment and dementia exist in a population that’s long been one of the most difficult to study: Native Americans.
