On the day after his Resurrection, the Savior appeared to those who knew him best during his mortal ministry—Mary Magdalene, Cleopas, ten of the apostles, and many other followers. While they saw him physically, they did not recognize him. Instead, they mistook him for a gardener, stranger, passing traveler, and even another prophet, as they misunderstood his role as the Redeemer of Israel or the promised Messiah. Rather than rebuking them, the Savior and ministering angels worked to correct their mistaken expectations by teaching them the true identity of Christ. In this episode, Professor Krystal V. L. Pierce describes how the Resurrected Savior opens the spiritual eyes and minds of his followers and disciples, in ancient and modern times, through visual, audible, and tangible signs and teachings. By learning to identify the spiritual nature of the Savior, we can prepare to see him physically in the Second Coming.      Publications: “Seeing, Knowing, and Recognizing the True Identity of Christ” in He Was Seen: Witnessing the Risen Christ (Religious Studies Center, 2024) Book of Mormon Insights: Letting God Prevail in Your Life, ed.

What if the government could use brain science to turn you into a pariah? Dive into the chilling connection between fMRI studies on dehumanization and the ruthless tactics of COINTELPRO. Learn how Uncle Sam leverages our neural biases—like seeing certain groups as "less than human"—to isolate targets, strip them of social value, and greenlight atrocities. When your neighbors, friends, and community subconsciously stop seeing you as human, what atrocities become acceptable?

A new chapter! Chapter 9 -- with a mishnah from the previous daf (as the beginning of the chapter) and a second mishnah on this daf as well. Firstly, the case of a man who dies and leaves both sons and daughters -- depending on the size of the estate, either the sons or the daughters take priority in terms of getting that inheritance. [Who's Who: Admon]. Secondly, the case of a man dies and leaves behind sons and daughters and a "tumtum." The value of the estate matters in this case too, but the Gemara addresses this case to determine the halakhic nature of a tumtum -- and whether a tumtum inherits, with or without separate stipulation of gifts. Plus, an investigation into how many genders there are (a very "modern" take that is built into the halakhic system).

Since the organization of the Church, leaders have called for world-wide religious liberty and harmony: “We claim the privilege of worshiping Almighty God according to the dictates of our own conscience, and allow all men the same privilege, let them worship how, where, or what they may” (Articles of Faith 1:11). In this episode, Dr. Joshua M. Sears, associate professor of ancient scripture, details how we might answer the prophetic call to not only love and respect people of different faiths but to also learn from them. He discusses the importance of adapting trustworthy interfaith resources into our spiritual lives. Additionally, he details how to locate and evaluate reliable resources, and describes one ecumenical resource, BibleProject, as an example. Without diluting our doctrinal uniqueness or missionary mandate, we can build strong relationships with our religious neighbors and learn from the truth that is “scattered liberally across the globe” (Elder Christofferson).   Publications: “Learning from People of Other Faiths” (Religious Educator, 24.2, 2023) Covenant of Compassion: Caring for the Marginalized and Disadvantaged in the Old Testament (Religious Studies Center, 2021) “Study Bibles: An Introduction for Latter-day Saints” (Religious Educator, 20.3, 2019) “Deutero-Isaiah in the Book of Mormon” (Y Religion, episode 86, 2023) “Study Bibles for Saints” (Y Religion, episode 35, 2021) BibleProject Videos: https://bibleproject.com/explore/   Click here to learn more about Joshua M.

Tony Reames, an associate professor at the University of Michigan School of Environment and Sustainability, just returned to campus from two years at the U.S. Department of Energy working on energy justice.The Tishman professor of environmental justice and director of the SEAS Detroit Sustainability Clinic joined us on the Michigan Minds Podcast to share his thoughts on how energy justice could manifest in the United States. His research focuses on disparities in residential energy generation, consumption, and affordability—centering on the production and persistence of inequality by race, class, and place.You just returned home from more than two years at the U.S. Department of Energy working on energy justice. What is energy justice and how is it manifesting in the United States?Energy justice is this concept that really looks at how do communities participate in both the health environment and social impacts of our energy system, recognizing that the energy system has had certain burdens on communities. And so environmental justice is really saying that all communities, regardless of race and income and geography, should be afforded a clean environment. And that the goal of addressing injustices gets us toward making sure that that's true. Climate justice also recognizes that communities of color, low-income communities are feeling the climate crisis first and worst, and that any action to address climate change should include those communities and their burdens.

Forensic linguistics is a field that examines the use of language in legal contexts, focusing on the ‎production and perception of utterances, particularly in courts. It applies linguistic knowledge to legal ‎questions, serving as an interface between language, crime, and law. This discipline encompasses various ‎applications, such as phonetic analysis of voices and verification of document authenticity.‎ The history of forensic linguistics traces back to ancient times, with debates over authorship dating back to ‎the Greek playwrights. The term itself was first used in 1968 by JAN SVARTVIK. He analyzed statements ‎made by Timothy John Evans, highlighting discrepancies due to police practices that deviated from ‎established Judges' Rules. These practices often led to distorted narratives, affecting the accuracy and ‎fairness of legal proceedings.‎ Authorship identification is a significant aspect of forensic linguistics. Disadvantaged speakers, when ‎giving statements to authority figures, may face challenges in maintaining control over their narrative. This ‎can lead to a distortion of the authorship process, especially when there are significant differences in ‎language use between the suspect and officials.‎ The concept of a "Linguistic Fingerprint" suggests that individuals use language uniquely, akin to a ‎fingerprint. However, despite its appeal to law enforcement and commercial interests, there is little hard ‎evidence supporting this notion. The term "forensic" often raises expectations of scientific precision, which ‎may not always align with the realities of forensic linguistics.‎ In court, linguists and lawyers have different objectives. While lawyers aim to persuade the jury, linguists ‎present and explain their expert opinions. This difference in goals can lead to conflicts, especially ‎regarding cooperation and the interpretation of evidence.‎ Overall, forensic linguistics is a science that applies linguistic methodologies to legal contexts, but it should ‎be approached with caution to avoid overestimating its capabilities. The notion of a linguistic fingerprint ‎remains contentious and requires further examination to establish its validity.‎

Throughout the Book of Mormon, the Savior pronounces fifty-three “I am” statements as he details his purpose and declares his divine identity. In 2 Nephi 29: 8 – 9 he explains that he does so for a particular reason, “Wherefore, I speak the same words unto one nation like unto another. […]. And I do this that I may prove unto many that I am the same yesterday, today, and forever […]” (emphasis added). In this next episode Dr. Joshua M. Matson, assistant professor of ancient scripture, discusses his recent article “Coming to Know Christ through the ‘I Am' Statements in the Book of Mormon” and explains the significant presence of these statements in the Bible and Restoration scriptures. He outlines how the Savior utilizes two forms of “I am” statements—metaphorical (depicting what he does) and absolute (his titles or depicting who he is)—throughout the scriptures to proclaim his role and character. Professor Matson explains that the “I am” statements in the Book of Mormon serve as another witness of Jesus Christ, alongside similar “I am” statements presented in the Old and New Testaments, and that they are spoken by both the premortal Jehovah and the resurrected Jesus Christ. In studying the “I am” statements we may come to know the Savior in his own words and through his own perspective.     Publications  “Coming to Know Christ through the ‘I Am' Statements in the Book of Mormon” (in I Glory in My Jesus: Understanding Christ in the Book of Mormon, Religious Studies Center, 2023)  Essential Tools for Interpreting the New Testament (BYU Studies, 2024)  “The Fourth Gospel and Expectations of the Jewish Messiah” (in Thou Art the Christ, the Son of the Living God: The Person and Work of Jesus in the New Testament, Religious Studies Center, 2018)  “Covenants, Kinship, and Caring for the Destitute in the Book of Amos” (in Covenant of Compassion: Caring for the Marginalized and Disadvantaged in the Old Testament, Religious Studies Center, 2021)  “From Jewish King to Islamic Prophet: Interreligious Conversations about Solomon in Antique Jewish and Islamic Literature” (in The Journal of the School of Religious Studies, Vol. 48, McGill University, 2020  Personal Website https://joshuammatson.com/    Click here to learn more about Joshua M.

In 3 Nephi and Moroni, the resurrected Savior provides specific directions to the Nephites regarding four rituals: baptism by immersion, the bestowal of the gift of the Holy Ghost, communal prayer, and the sacrament. Why were such rituals important to the Savior and his ministry among the Nephites? How can understanding these teachings help us with our discipleship in the latter days? In this episode Dr. David Calabro, visiting assistant professor of ancient scripture, answers these questions in discussing his chapter “Jesus Christ as a Revealer of Ordinances in the Book of Mormon” from I Glory in My Jesus: Understanding Christ in the Book of Mormon. Professor Calabro briefly compares the New Testament and Book of Mormon depictions of these rituals and highlights how the Nephite record more fully depicts the Savior's character as a generous giver of blessings. He explains how, as a revealer of ordinances in the Book of Mormon, the Savior both presents the actions and wording of each ritual and explains with great emphasis the blessings associated with each ordinance. In understanding and applying these rituals, we, like the Nephites, may approach the living Christ and gain an experiential witness of him.    Publications:   “Jesus Christ as a Revealer of Ordinances in the Book of Mormon” (in I Glory In My Jesus: Understanding Christ in the Book of Mormon, Religious Studies Center, 2024)  He Was Seen: Witnessing the Risen Christ (Religious Studies Center, 2024)  “Disability and Social Justice in Ancient Israelite Culture” (in Covenant of Compassion: Caring for the Marginalized and Disadvantaged in the Old Testament, Religious Studies Center, 2021)  “Nonverbal Communication in the New Testament” (in New Testament History, Culture, and Society: A Background to the Texts of the New Testament, Religious Studies Center, 2019)  “‘Stretch Forth Thy Hand and Prophesy': Hand Gestures in the Book of Mormon” (in Journal of Book of Mormon Studies, 2012)  "Joseph Smith and the Architecture of Genesis" (in The Temple: Ancient and Restored, Eborn Books, 2016)  "Lehi's Dream and the Garden of Eden" (in Interpreter: A Journal of Latter-day Saint Faith and Scholarship, 2017)  "An Early Christian Context for the Book of Moses" (in Tracing Ancient Threads in the Book of Moses: Inspired Origins, Temple Contexts, and Literary Qualities, Eborn Books, 2021)     Click here to learn more about David Calabro

Episode 248-Part 1: Are Republicans Really the Party of the Rich? Part 2: A Pastor Faces Charges for Helping the Homeless--Is That Fair?  While it is believed that the Republican Party is the party of the Rich, and the Democrats are the party of the "poor, downtrodden, and disadvantaged, etc." a new survey from Ballotpedia suggests otherwise. In Part 2, a Pastor in Bryan, Ohio faces criminal charges for leaving his church open 24/7 to help minister to homeless people in his community.  Fines are up to $1,000 per day.  First Liberty was able to get the charges dismissed, but the City has trumped up a whole new set of charges.  But is it possible the pastor actually is in the wrong - based on any kind of technicality?

Featuring Lucas Morel, professor of politics at Washington and Lee University. Morel delves into the complex relationship between patriotism and the experiences of Black Americans, as exemplified by the legacies of Martin Luther King Jr. and Frederick Douglass. Despite facing profound injustices and obstacles, both leaders ultimately embraced America and its potential for progress. MLK's vision of the Beloved Community, rooted in the American Dream, challenged the nation to confront systemic inequalities and enact radical changes. We explore MLK's proposed solutions, including a "Bill of Rights for the Disadvantaged," and his critiques of capitalism's role in perpetuating poverty. Additionally, we examine Frederick Douglass's journey from an enslaved person to an outspoken advocate for American principles, highlighting his belief in the transformative power of living up to the nation's founding ideals. Through their insights, we ponder the ongoing quest for a more inclusive and just society, grappling with questions of individual responsibility versus governmental intervention in realizing the promise of America.

In 2022, 11.5% of the U.S. population lived in poverty.

How to Develop Tackling Large Challenges As a SuperpowerJanelle grew up in a tiny town in rural Minnesota. “There were no stoplights in my entire county,” she says. Significant challenges appealed to her despite–or maybe because of–her situation. At JAG, she faced a big challenge. She wanted to shift focus and attention from the corporations to the students, making them the stars of the show. It was a big challenge in the context of a national nonprofit organization led and sponsored by the people she wanted to move out of the spotlight. A dozen years later, however, she can say, “mission accomplished.”For developing the ability to tackle big challenges, she offers a simple formula: “increments, increments, increments.” She adds that looking back can allow you to see progress and measure it.By following her example and advice, you can strengthen your ability to tackle large challenges. With time, you could make it a superpower that enables you to do more good in the world.Guest ProfileJanelle Duray (she/her):President & CEO, Jobs for America's GraduatesAbout Jobs for America's Graduates: Our mission is to empower the nation's young people with the skills and support to succeed in education, employment, and life.Website: www.jag.orgTwitter Handle: @JAGnationalInstagram Handle: @jag.nationalFacebook Page: facebook.com/jagnationalBiographical Information: Janelle Duray has over fifteen years of experience in education and workforce development consulting and nonprofit management.
