As Australia begins its royal commission into antisemitism and social cohesion, new research by the Pew Centre shows we're one of the most religiously diverse countries in the world. There's no longer a majority religion, meaning many faiths have found a place. It's a finding that might surprise those who expected that much bigger countries, such as the United States or India, might claim the title.

Yunping Tong was a senior researcher on the Pew team.When, and why, does criticism of Israel often descend into antisemitic tropes? How do you build a free Palestine and a secure, truly democratic Israel? Guardian columnist Jonathon Freedland has spent a quarter of century making the case for Jewish and Palestinian partnership. He's also the author of a new book about resisters in Nazi Germany, titled The Traitors' Circle.

Volgens Stolte wordt deze onterecht toegedicht aan de beslissing van het Amerikaanse Hooggerechtshof om de importheffingen van de Amerikaanse president Donald Trump ongeldig te verklaren. De koers sukkelt sinds de scherpe daling van begin februari door op het huidige niveau, Stolte waarschuwt dat dit niet automatisch betekent dat de bodem van de bearmarket al bereikt is.

February is the month of love- what is real love- real hesed- sacrificial love? How did Adam love Eve?Today is not our usual crew, but a discussion with guest Russell Grigsby about a book that radically changed his mindset about loving his wife well.In this episode of Just the Guys, Dan sits down with entrepreneur and executive coach Russell Grigsby to talk about late-in-life autism diagnosis, trauma, pride, and the hard work of rebuilding a marriage. Russell shares how childhood wounds, avoidant attachment, and unrecognized autism shaped his relationships — and how confronting shame, embracing humility, and rethinking biblical leadership transformed his life at home. Through books, prayer, coaching, and intentional growth, he learned to stop trying to fix his spouse and instead take responsibility for his own healing. The result is a marriage marked by safety, connection, and hope. This conversation is an honest look at what happens when a man chooses humility over defensiveness and growth over comfort.Books Mentioned:Mending the Soul Groups found at: MendingthesoulFind a GroupAdam loves EveEscaping Enemy ModeBrene Brown's books on Shame and Vulnerability About Russell:Russell is passionate about encouraging others to fulfill their destiny.

"Great minds think alike? It's completely wrong. It's not that great minds think alike; it's that different minds are great." — David OppenheimerIt's diversity week. Yesterday, Brian Soucek argued in favor of what he calls the "opinionated university" to protect free speech. Today David Oppenheimer, law professor at UC Berkeley, on The Diversity Principle: The Story of a Transformative Idea. Oppenheimer reminds us that diversity isn't a modern invention. It traces back to Wilhelm von Humboldt's University of Berlin in 1810, which admitted Catholics and Jews to what would otherwise have been an entirely Protestant institution. And to John Stuart Mill, whose On Liberty—written with his wife Harriet Taylor Mill—might be renamed On Liberty and Diversity.Oppenheimer's case for diversity is partly moral, partly utilitarian. Diverse boards result in more profitable corporations, he says. Diverse science labs make more significant discoveries. Diverse classrooms generate better ideas. The phrase "great minds think alike" is, he says, the product of a poor mind. Different minds are great. That's where the greatness comes from.Oppenheimer takes seriously Clarence Thomas's critique of diversity. Thomas argues that racial diversity assumes Black people all think alike, which is its own form of liberal racism. But Oppenheimer responds by citing Thomas's "brilliant" dissent in Virginia v. Black, where he argued that cross burning isn't political speech but terrorism. That insight, Oppenheimer says, came from Thomas's lived experience as a Black man. The other justices, all white, couldn't see it.The unsung hero in Oppenheimer's history of diversity is Pauli Murray. Born 1910 into the segregated South, Murray coined the term "Jane Crow," influenced Thurgood Marshall's arguments in Brown v. Board, saved the sex discrimination clause in the Civil Rights Act, hired Ruth Bader Ginsburg at the ACLU against the judgment of the men who thought her "meek," and ended her life as an Episcopal priest. Now recognized by the church as a saint, Oppenheimer cites Murray as not just a great theorist of diversity, but also as a paragon of a diverse life. Maybe every week should be diversity week. Five Takeaways● Different Minds Are Great: The phrase "great minds think alike" is, Oppenheimer says, the product of a poor mind. Different minds are great. That's where their greatness comes from.● Diversity Traces Back to 1810: Diversity isn't a modern invention. It traces back to Humboldt's University of Berlin in 1810, which admitted Catholics and Jews. Mill's On Liberty might be renamed On Liberty and Diversity.● Clarence Thomas's Critique Is Serious: Thomas argues that racial diversity assumes Black people all think alike—its own form of liberal racism. But Oppenheimer responds by citing Thomas's own "brilliant" dissent in Virginia v. Black, which came from his lived experience as a Black man.● Pauli Murray Is the Model of a Great Mind: Murray coined the term "Jane Crow," influenced Thurgood Marshall's arguments in Brown v. Board, saved the sex discrimination clause in the Civil Rights Act, and hired Ruth Bader Ginsburg. Oppenheimer cites her as a paragon of a diverse life.● Mill Warned Against Majoritarianism: On Liberty is instructive today. When everyone agrees, listen harder to those who disagree. The majority is not only often ill-informed but often wrong. About the GuestDavid Oppenheimer is a Clinical Professor of Law at UC Berkeley School of Law. He is the author of The Diversity Principle: The Story of a Transformative Idea and co-director of a center on comparative equality law. He attended Harvard Law School and spent his final year at Berkeley.ReferencesPeople mentioned:● John Stuart Mill wrote On Liberty with his wife Harriet Taylor Mill. Oppenheimer argues the book might be renamed On Liberty and Diversity.● Wilhelm von Humboldt founded the University of Berlin in 1810 on principles of diversity, admitting Catholics and Jews to a Protestant institution.● Pauli Murray coined "Jane Crow," influenced Thurgood Marshall, saved sex discrimination in the Civil Rights Act, hired RBG, and became an Episcopal saint.● Charles William Eliot was President of Harvard who brought diversity principles to American higher education, encouraging the "clash of ideas" among undergraduates.● Clarence Thomas offers a critique of diversity that Oppenheimer takes seriously but ultimately rejects, using Thomas's own dissent in Virginia v. Black.About Keen On AmericaNobody asks more awkward questions than the Anglo-American writer and filmmaker Andrew Keen.

I've taken the title of the sermon from Jonathan Edwards, who in 1738, he wrote, There's an admirable conjunction of diverse excellencies in Jesus Christ. It's quite a mouthful. In Jesus, there is a coming together, a conjunction of excellent qualities we admire that are different and wonderful. An admirable conjunction of diverse excellencies. We look to the reading of God's word if you join with me in prayer. Our gracious God, we do not live by bread alone, but
What is the hope for the diverse people of God in the midst of suffering? In this passage we see the hope of the nations. That God will save His people, and that His church is a diverse body of all then nations that will praise Jesus forever. 1) God will seal his servants v.1-3 2) God will save the Nations v. 4-12 3) God will comfort his people v. 13-17
Summary The general impression that many people have is that prior to European settlement the whole eastern U.S. was one giant old growth forest. But that wasn't the case. Using an interdisciplinary approach, researchers over the last several decades have discovered that the eastern U.S. was instead interspersed with a surprising number of diverse ecosystems – only one of which was old growth forest. 3 things you'll learn from this episode: What researchers now think the eastern U.S. looked like 400 years or more ago. Why we have so many trees now and why it's so easy to believe that everything was once forest. Why all of this matters and what we should do about it.

We all have those destinations we think we know.And then we get there and they completely win us over. In this episode, I'm sharing a handful of places that surprised me in the very best way. These are spots around Europe that went beyond my expectations and left a bigger impression than I ever imagined.I'm talking about everything from the wild, rugged beauty of Ireland's west coast to the storybook charm of York in England.And yes, even Paris made this list because sometimes the most iconic places still manage to surprise you.There are mountain regions that stole my heart, quieter corners that felt more magical than expected, and a few destinations that simply stayed with me long after I left.This is a personal look at expectations vs. reality — and how some of the best travel moments happen when a place catches you off guard. It's also a reminder to leave a little room for the unexpected when you're planning your own European adventure.So now I'm curious… what are the places that surprised you in the best possible way?Send me a note at Lynne@WanderYourWay.comIn this episode:2:15: Intro7:06: Ireland: County Donegal & West Cork11:19: Paris, France14:27: South Tyrol, Italy17:20: Slovenia20:24: Isle of Mull, Scotland23:51: York, England27:02: Krün, Germany30:25: Peak District, England33:31: Normandy, France36:49: St Andrews, Scotland41:42: Recap42:20: Wrapping it upImportant links:County Dongel • IrelandWest Cork • IrelandRainbow Weather: Exploring Beautiful West Cork Ireland with Kat KochThe Best Things To Do in Paris in 4 DaysMy Joyful Love Affair with the Beautiful and Diverse South Tyrol ItalySlovenia • An OverviewIsle of Mull • ScotlandYork • EnglandBlack Forest & Bavaria • GermanyDiscovering the Diverse and Beautiful Peak District EnglandExploring Beautiful Normandy, France: Going Beyond the D-Day BeachesExploring St Andrews • Scotland with Bo FraserWander Your WayWander Your Way AdventuresWander Your Way ResourcesOofos ★ Support this podcast ★

Using Software, AI To Reduce CO2 & Increase Resilience – Lydia Walpole & Chris Bradshaw of Bentley Systems "For example, if we have a concrete pile, we can change the parameters and use AI to suggest actually a more optimal design with regards to how much concrete is going to be used. So we quite often, as engineers, we are risk averse. So sometimes you can over design to make sure consequences in construction and infrastructure are real. We do need to be precise, but we can use AI to ensure that we have a reduced amount of carbon and concrete in that pile, but still meeting the outcomes that we set out to achieve." Lydia Walpole on Electric Ladies Podcast Infrastructure like roads and bridges, as well as buildings today need to be built with strong climate resilience, as well as reduced carbon footprint. Innovative software systems are leveraging AI to increase performance. How? Listen to Lydia Walpole, Senior Director of Global Performance and Chris Bradshaw, Chief Sustainability Officer both of Bentley Systems in this fascinating conversation with Electric Ladies Podcast host Joan Michelson. It was recorded live at the Bentley Systems "Year in Infrastructure" 2025 conference. You'll hear about: ● How Bentley Systems' digital twin technology is reducing risk, waste and CO2 and improving performance. ● How sustainability and climate resilience shift the approach to infrastructure builds from "reactive to predictive," as Chris said, as extreme weather increases. ● How their technologies are transforming infrastructure builds across the globe. ● Plus, career advice, such as: "I often hear about imposter syndrome, and I know it's easy to say, but I've worked in a male dominated environment my whole career, and I've never felt like I shouldn't be here. And it is easy to say, don't feel that, but you deserve to be where you are. You've worked hard and recognize that. …Secondly, be curious and remain curious, and make sure you are continuing to learn and educate yourself every day….Keep abreast of new technologies." Lydia Walpole on Electric Ladies Podcast And Chris Bradshaw added: "My biggest piece of advice would be to be bold. Don't be shy. Diverse groups make better decisions, always…. You are bringing a different point of view." Read Joan's Forbes article on whether A.I. makes our infrastructure safer or not here, and her Joan's other Forbes articles here.

Orpheus sits down with fellow radio member Elliot, to discuss the growing lack of attention spans and how it relates to media consumption (This episode was recorded in the Fall semester of 2025 and is being released in the Spring of 2026)
Season 6, Episode 715: **A Marine's Unconventional Path to Charity Work** When Conzo left the U.S. Marines, he never imagined his next chapter would involve OnlyFans, a UK dating show appearance, and becoming an accidental meme. (Ladbible apparently loves using his image as clickbait for completely unrelated stories.) This former Marine now uses adult content creation to fund animal rescue, LGBTQ youth support, and domestic abuse survivor assistance—all while challenging society's discomfort with sexuality and nudity. Links: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/conzo0311 LADbible: https://www.ladbible.com/entertainment/tv/naked-attraction-contestants-where-are-they-now-connor-conzo-tiktok-777527-20230920 Daily Star: https://www.dailystar.co.uk/tv/marine-who-starred-naked-attraction-32726872 After discovering financial mismanagement at a horse rehabilitation charity in Scotland where he served as vice chairperson, Conzo faced a moral crossroads. The animals needed immediate help. His solution? **OnlyFans became his fundraising platform**, despite initial hesitation about the unconventional approach. Beyond the fundraising aspect, he found the work personally transformative and healing, helping him process past trauma and discover his sexuality. Why does sex work carry such stigma when it's simply labor performed by people—often parents with special needs children, disabled individuals, or neurodivergent people—who struggle in traditional employment without adequate state support? Conzo argues that opposition stems from control rather than genuine welfare concerns, noting how society suddenly found moral outrage when women started controlling their own earnings on platforms like OnlyFans. Ready to hear more about redefining masculinity, navigating stigma, and finding purpose through unconventional means? This conversation goes deep. Key Takeaways: • **Sex work as trauma healing**: Conzo describes his OnlyFans work as genuinely transformative for processing military trauma, challenging the assumption that sex work is inherently exploitative or damaging to the performer. • **Diverse sex worker demographics**: A significant portion of sex workers are parents, disabled individuals, and neurodivergent people using it out of economic necessity due to inadequate state support—not a fringe phenomenon. • **Decriminalization as harm reduction**: Conzo argues that criminalizing sex work increases danger and exploitation, suggesting legalization protects workers better than moral crusades framed around "rescue" narratives.

Church planting is thriving at the very moment the church faces a crisis of credibility. What if the problem isn't too few churches—but too narrow a vision of what church is for? In this episode with Mark Labberton, Brad Brisco reflects on church planting shaped by Christology before strategy, mission before institution, and incarnation before programs. Together they discuss missionary imagination in the modern West, co-vocational ministry, alternative expressions of church, micro-church networks, church growth assumptions, vocation and work, justice and proximity, and what it means to return—daily—to the ways of Jesus. –––––––––––––––– Episode Highlights "We need to help church planters think less like pastors starting a Sunday service and more like missionaries engaging a unique context." "If by church we mean buildings, then no—we don't need more of those." "Mission isn't really ours. It's about what God's already doing." "We can say we're gospel-centered and still miss the ways of Jesus." "The only way the church gets this far off is by being void of the ways of Jesus." –––––––––––––––– About Brad Brisco Brad Brisco is a missiologist and church planting leader, trainer, and writer who has spent more than twenty-five years coaching and resourcing church planters across North America. After beginning his career in the restaurant industry, Brisco entered ministry through church planting and later joined Send Network, where his work has focused on alternative expressions of church, co-vocational leadership, and missionally engaged discipleship. He also serves on the national leadership team for Forge America Mission Training Network. Brad is the co-author of "Missional Essentials," a 12-week small group study guide, "The Missional Quest: Becoming a Church of the Long Run" and "Next Door As It Is In Heaven." He is widely known for challenging church growth assumptions and for advocating Christ-centered, incarnational approaches that integrate faith, work, and neighborhood life. Brisco remains closely connected to decentralized microchurch networks and innovative models of mission in urban contexts.

Missionary context of the modern West Do we need more churches or more ways of being church? Underserved neighborhoods and unengaged people groups Declining interest in traditional church programs Airplane anecdote exposing attractional church assumptions "You just need a really good sound system and a good speaker." Mission versus Sunday-centric church planting Christology–missiology–ecclesiology framework Jesus shaping mission before shaping church "Most church planters start with ecclesiology rather than the ways of Jesus." Church growth movement assumptions challenged Recapturing the missionary nature of the church Church as sent people, not religious service provider Incarnational presence in neighborhoods and workplaces "Mission isn't something we do over there." Participation in the mission of God "The mission isn't really ours—it's about what God's already doing." Individual salvation versus communal discipleship Robust Christology beyond the cross alone Incarnation, life, resurrection, and kingdom shaping mission Brokenness, proximity, and responsibility for place Mission as communal, not individual activity Bi-vocational and co-vocational ministry distinctions Marketplace calling as missional advantage Sacred–secular divide challenged Time constraints forcing alternative church models Team-based leadership as non-negotiable Theology of work as essential formation Financial freedom reshaping church planting incentives Fully funded models drifting toward attractional pressure Co-vocational longevity and sustainability Microchurch networks and decentralized leadership Tampa Underground as proof of concept Mission-first communities addressing justice and brokenness "Mission is the mother of adaptive ecclesiology." Diverse expressions emerging from contextual mission Established churches learning from church planting frameworks Incremental versus wholesale institutional change Sending churches supporting new expressions Calling the church back to the ways of Jesus "We can be gospel-centered and still miss the ways of Jesus."

What if neurons aren't the foundation of mind? In this Mind-Body Solution Colloquia, Michael Levin and Robert Chis-Ciure challenge one of neuroscience's deepest assumptions: that cognition and intelligence are exclusive to brains and neurons.Drawing on cutting-edge work in bioelectricity, developmental biology, and philosophy of mind, this conversation explores how cells, tissues, and living systems exhibit goal-directed behavior, memory, and problem-solving — long before neurons ever appear.We explore: • Cognition without neurons• Bioelectric networks as control systems• Memory and learning beyond synapses• Morphogenesis as collective intelligence• Implications for AI, consciousness, and ethicsThis episode pushes neuroscience beyond the neuron, toward a deeper understanding of mind, life, and intelligence as continuous across scales.TIMESTAMPS:0:00 – Introduction: Why Neuroscience Must Go Beyond Neurons3:12 – The Central Claim: Cognition Is Not Exclusive to Brains7:05 – Defining Cognition, Intelligence, and Agency Without Neurons11:02 – Bioelectricity as a Control Layer for Morphogenesis15:08 – Cells as Problem-Solvers: Goals, Memory, and Error Correction19:41 – The Body as a Cognitive System: Scaling Intelligence Across Levels24:10 – Developmental Plasticity and Non-Neural Decision-Making28:36 – Morphological Computation and Collective Cellular Intelligence33:02 – Challenging Neuron-Centric Neuroscience Assumptions37:18 – Bioelectric Networks vs Neural Networks: Key Differences41:55 – Memory Without Synapses: Storing Information in Living Tissue46:07 – Rewriting Anatomy: Regeneration, Repatterning, and Control50:29 – Cancer, Developmental Errors, and Cognitive Breakdown54:48 – Pluribus: Philosophical Implications59:14 – From Cells to Selves: Where Does Agency Begin?1:03:22 – Implications for AI: Intelligence Without Brains or Neurons1:08:11 – Rethinking Consciousness: Gradualism vs Binary Models1:12:47 – Ethics of Expanding the Moral Circle Beyond Humans1:17:31 – Future Science: New Tools for a Post-Neuron Neuroscience1:22:54 – Closing Reflections: Life, Mind, and Intelligence All the Way DownEPISODE LINKS:- Cognition All the Way Down 2.0: Neuroscience Beyond Neurons in the Diverse Intelligence Era: https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s11229-025-05319-6- Robert's Publications: https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=7V9C7skAAAAJ&hl=en- Mike's Podcast 1: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v6gp-ORTBlU- Mike's Podcast 2: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kMxTS7eKkNM- Mike's Podcast 3: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1R-tdscgxu4- Mike's Podcast 4 (with Terrence Deacon): https://youtu.be/HuWbHwPZd60?si=z2unvX37OjXMjjIv- Mike's Lecture: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aQEX-twenkA- Mike's Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@drmichaellevin- Mike's Website: https://drmichaellevin.org/- Mike's Blog: https://thoughtforms.lifeCONNECT:- Website: https://mindbodysolution.org - YouTube: https://youtube.com/@mindbodysolution- Podcast: https://creators.spotify.com/pod/show/mindbodysolution- Twitter: https://twitter.com/drtevinnaidu- Facebook: https://facebook.com/drtevinnaidu - Instagram: https://instagram.com/drtevinnaidu- LinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/in/drtevinnaidu- Website: https://tevinnaidu.com=============================Disclaimer: The information provided on this channel is for educational purposes only.

Take a Leap of Faith into the Vitality Zone PodcastFIVE PRIMARY POINTS of the PODCASTVitality often comes from subtraction, not additionA 24-hour phone failure became an unplanned experiment in awareness. Stepping away from constant digital stimulation clarified thinking, heightened presence, and improved both mental vitality and performance—reinforcing the idea that intentional disconnection can be a powerful vitality practiceRemembering mortality sharpens how we liveReflecting on the inevitability of death is framed not as morbid, but as liberating. Awareness of limited time helps clarify priorities, deepen presence, and guide choices toward a life one can feel at peace with in the endEarly excellence is overrated; performance trajectories are non-linearA large 2025 study of ~34,000 elite performers shows that most world-class achievers were not early prodigies. Peak adult performance more often emerges from gradual development, not early dominance or hyper-specializationBroad, multidisciplinary exploration builds “learning capital”Diverse early and ongoing experiences cultivate flexible thinking, creativity, and pattern recognition.
