Christina Hello, everyone, I'm Christina Darnell, the managing editor of MinistryWatch. Welcome to the MinistryWatch podcast. In today's extra episode, I talk with Warren Smith about some news items that are slightly (even significantly) outside of our normal charity and philanthropy “beat.” So, Warren, what's up first? Warren The Episcopal Church Center in Midtown Manhattan, commonly referred to as “815” because of its street address, 815 Second Ave., is for sale.For critics of the church, the building became a symbol of the bureaucracy and isolation of the denomination's leadership. Christina Its sale now represents the continued decline of the denomination. Warren “We've done a detailed analysis about the best use of the building, with consultants and architects,” Chief Financial Officer Chris Lacovara said in a church news release. “We occupy a fraction of the Church Center space now, and the conclusion is that we don't need to own and occupy a building in midtown Manhattan.” Christina The building is 12 stories high and has about 146,000 square feet of office space. Warren In 1965, the Episcopal Church had about 3.4 million people. Today, membership is officially listed at about 1.5 million, but less than a half-million attend Episcopal Churches on any given Sunday. Christina Next up, new data from Lifeway, but you have some concerns. Warren I do. I am a big data guy, but recent research from Lifeway does not pass my sniff test. Lifeway says that Gen Z adults who are regular churchgoers attend church at greater rates than other age cohorts. Christina So…regular church attend church regularly? Seems like you wouldn't need a survey to come to that conclusion. Warren Exactly. The premise of the survey is strange. It is like saying, “In Texas, there are a high percentage of Texans.” Secondly, the Gen Z result is a serious outlier. “While the median churchgoer in each generation attends four worship services each month, the average Gen Z churchgoer attends a worship service at their church 6.2 times a month,” a statement from Lifeway said. This compares with “4.8 times for millennials, 5.1 for Gen X and 4.5 for baby boomers and older. This implies that while the typical Gen Z churchgoer attends at a similar frequency to other generations, there is a portion of young adults who attend at much higher rates.” Christina But other data we've reported on suggest that Gen Z is in fact not more religious. So what's going on here? Warren The evidence increasingly suggests not a broad-based Gen Z revival, but a “committed remnant” phenomenon—fewer young adults in church, but those who are there are often attending with greater frequency and intentionality than previous generations of young adults. Christina Moving on…. Alliance of Responsible Citizenship (ARC) is meeting in London this week. Warren ARC claims to be an international movement of conservative thinkers, political leaders, business executives, academics, journalists, and religious leaders that seeks to renew the cultural, moral, and institutional foundations of Western civilization. Christina Founded in 2023 by figures including Jordan Peterson and Philippa Stroud, ARC describes its mission as helping to “re-lay the foundations of our civilization” by promoting responsibility, free institutions, strong families, economic opportunity, and a renewed sense of cultural confidence. Warren About 4,000 are gathered, from more than 85 countries. Many observers have dubbed it the “Conservative Davos” or the “anti-woke Davos.” Among this year’s speakers are Boris Johnson, Jordan Peterson, Arthur Brooks, Andy Crouch, Eric Metaxas, and Ross Douthat. Christina For Christians, ARC is particularly notable because Christian faith is not merely a side topic but a recurring theme. Warren Evangelical, Catholic, and Orthodox leaders are prominent participants, reflecting ARC’s belief that cultural renewal requires moral and spiritual renewal as well. Rod Dreher has been posting all week from London, and some of his posts have been pretty humorous. A nerd's view from the cool kids' table, you might say. You can find one of those posts here. Christina As we have reported here at MinistryWatch, Bethany Christian Services, one of the nation's largest adoption and foster care organizations, has reaffirmed its commitment to a biblical sexual ethic. Warren This reaffirmation requires staff, board members and foster and adoptive families to “personally agree and adhere to” a belief statement that defines marriage as “a covenant between one man and one woman.” Christina Katy Faust, a conservative activist who believes same-sex couples should not be parents, celebrated the change. On X, Faust said it was evidence that the “vibe shift” is having a “measurable impact.” Warren It is too early for me to declare a “vibe shift,” but I hope she is right. In any case, it is likely not to impact adoption and foster care efforts much, since the number of LGBTQ+ folk who adopt children are small. According to the Williams Institute, about 35,000 same-sex couples are raising adopted children. That is certainly significant, but the significance diminishes when you consider that about 1.8 million children in the U.S., between 2 and 3 percent of all children, are living with adoptive parents. Supporting Faust's claim of a “vibe shift” is a recent Gallup survey suggesting that 65 percent of Americans still favor legal same-sex marriage, but that's six percentage points fewer than its peak in 2022-2023. Similarly, the percentage of Americans who view gay or lesbian relations and gender transitions as morally acceptable have fallen since the early 2020s. Christina Finally, we have some good news here at MinistryWatch. Warren I am pleased to let you know that MinistryWatch has received a grant from the Fund for Investigative Journalism to help us with investigative reporting in the coming year. Christina The FIJ is a nonprofit organization founded in 1969 that supports in-depth, public-interest investigative reporting by providing grants, editorial guidance, and legal assistance to journalists. Warren Its mission is to help reporters pursue stories that expose corruption, wrongdoing, abuses of power, and other issues of significant public concern that might otherwise go uncovered. Over its history, FIJ has awarded thousands of grants to freelance and staff journalists, helping launch investigations that have appeared in major outlets such as The New York Times, ProPublica, NPR, Frontline, The Washington Post, and many regional news organizations. The organization is widely regarded as one of the leading philanthropic supporters of investigative journalism in the United States. Christina Any final thoughts before we go?

Rachel and Simon speak with the novelist and essayist Siri Hustvedt. Born in Minnesota in 1955 to a Norwegian mother and American father, Siri grew up bilingual. On a family trip one summer, she read voraciously and decided she wanted to become a writer. In 1981 Siri published her first poem in the Paris Review and a small collection emerged two years later. In 1992 she published her debut novel, “The Blindfold”, which was translated into 17 languages. Six more novels followed - “The Enchantment of Lily Dahl”, “What I Loved”, “The Sorrows of an American”, “The Summer Without Men”, “The Blazing World” (longlisted for the Man Booker Prize) and “Memories of the Future” - as well as several collections of essays. Alongside her writing, Siri has studied psychoanalysis, neurology and psychiatry and in 2015 she was appointed a lecturer in psychiatry at Weill Cornell medical school. We spoke to Siri about making her way in poetry and publishing, her interest in the sciences and her latest book, “Ghost Stories”, a memoir about her marriage to the late novelist Paul Auster.

Christina Hello, everyone, I'm Christina Darnell, the managing editor of MinistryWatch. Welcome to the MinistryWatch podcast. In today's extra episode, I talk with Warren Smith about some news items that are slightly (even significantly) outside of our normal charity and philanthropy “beat.” So, Warren, what's up first? Warren Microfinancing is taking a beating in the media these days. In the 1990s and 2000s, microfinancing was all the rage. The basic idea was to give entrepreneurs who could not qualify for loans at traditional banks an opportunity to take out a small loan to finance income producing activities. Christina Women could buy sewing machines and take in tailoring and alteration work to support her family. Men could buy motorcycles to take them to job sites or pick up trucks to start a hauling or construction business. Warren That's exactly the idea. But new reporting by the Wall Street Journal questions the effectiveness of such microfinancing activities. It is also interesting that Christian ministries who got on the microfinancing bandwagon (Opportunity International, Hope International, Five Talents, and others) are now pivoting to savings groups, financial literacy, and broader economic development because the evidence for traditional microcredit has been more mixed than early advocates expected. Christina Something else that's been in the news this week has been Steven Spielberg's new movie “Disclosure Day.” Warren The new movie is being touted as a “takedown” of Christianity. Spielberg suggested that the discovery of extraterrestrial life would create a crisis for the Christian faith. Christina But a lot of Christian apologists have weighed in on this question and they say that's not accurate. Warren That is right. I've got to confess that I'm skeptical of extraterrestrial life on other planets, at least life on any planets within reach. There's some evidence of water on the moon and on Mars, so we might find some type of organism there, and that would be interesting. But I think we can see deeply enough into space to suggest that there's nothing significant nearby. Christina But even if there was, nothing about Christian doctrine would be challenged by the discovery of extraterrestrial life. Warren I think that's right. Christians from C.S. Lewis to Larry Norman (in his song “Unidentified Flying Object”) have written about this idea, and it is interesting but innocuous in terms of its threat to Christianity. A more troubling aspect of Spielberg's film, according to Rod Dreher, is its overt Gnosticism, and ancient heresy that keeps getting re-heated and half-baked by modernists and post-modernists. Christina So what is Gnosticism? Warren Gnosticism is a collection of ancient religious movements that taught that salvation comes through secret spiritual knowledge (gnosis) that awakens the divine spark within humans and frees them from the material world. To read Dreher's critique of the film, click here. My friends John Stonestreet and Tim Padget over at The Colson Center have also written intelligently about this movie. You can find their commentary at www.BreakPoint.org. By the way, the film is getting decent reviews and is performing well at the box office, taking in $44 million its first weekend, against a $110 million production budget. Christina This week marks the anniversary of the death of someone you hold in high regard. Can you tell us about John Dyer? Warren If you find self-promoting (and, too often, self-destructive) Christian celebrities distasteful, John Dyer could be your palate cleanser. He lived in the 1800s, and he helped bring Christianity to the American West as a Methodist circuit riding preacher. A church he founded in the resort town of Breckenridge is still in operation. He also ended up in the Colorado Ski and Snowboard Hall of Fame. To find out why, read this piece, which I wrote a year ago, but which I call your attention to this week because it is the 125th anniversary of his death. Christina And you've been turning your eye toward Europe this week. Why? Warren Culturally speaking, things are strange in Europe right now. Birth rates are plummeting there even more than here. This fact will have profound economic and societal implications in the years ahead. I visited Spain 15 years ago and wrote about what I saw there for WORLD Magazine. (And here.) Here are the headlines from that story: Large, gorgeous, empty churches, an economy that lacked confidence, and conservative political parties hunkered down. Christina But that was, as you said, 15 years ago. Today, things have changed somewhat. Warren The economy is better, though not great. Center-right conservatives, represented by the Partido Popular, have been overtaken by the far-right Vox party. I started thinking about this when I read that Franklin Graham recently did a crusade in Madrid that attracted 10,000 people. That sounds like a lot until you realize that the musician Bad Bunny attracted 60,000 on the same night. Read my friend Bruce Bower's account of what is happening in Spain here. Christina Another high-profile event this week was the UFC fights at the White House. Do you have any thoughts about that? Warren Christians often talk about the “good, true, and beautiful” as if they are separate things. They are not, these three qualities are unitary, of-a-piece. Something cannot be really TRUE or GOOD unless it is also BEAUTIFUL. Something that is ugly or banal aesthetically is also, to that extent, also less true and less good. These are ideas to consider as we assess the events of June 14, which was — in my view — another “wag the dog” spectacle designed to distract the masses. Juvenal had a phrase for it: panem et circenses. Bread and circuses. He also said that such spectacles were a sign of a nation in decline. Christina Any final thoughts before we go?

New Mexico is a land of ancient mysteries, isolated deserts, volcanic landscapes, secretive military installations, indigenous traditions, and persistent reports of unexplained phenomena.In this episode of Phantoms & Monsters Radio, Lon Strickler presents nine extraordinary witness accounts from across New Mexico involving winged humanoids, UFOs, transparent entities, mysterious portals, reptilian beings, unknown forest creatures, and a terrifying insectoid encounter.A motorist near Hobbs observes an eight-to-nine-foot winged humanoid clinging near the top of an electrical pole. The massive figure has black feathered wings, a bare or membranous body, a visible bony spine, and a small featureless head.On Tortugas Mountain, a hiker discovers a modern green doorway standing alone across a familiar trail. After stepping through it, the witness experiences intense déjà vu, distorted colors, visual flickering, an out-of-body sensation, and overwhelming dread. When the witness later returns, the doorway is gone.Near Cloudcroft in the Lincoln National Forest, teenage campers hear two enormous bipedal creatures screaming and communicating through deep clicking sounds. The entities approach the tent from different directions, with one stopping only a foot away.Two New Mexico patrol officers investigate mysterious whistling near an abandoned school. Something crawls through waist-high grass before standing upright and revealing a childlike humanoid form with illuminated blue eyes.At Holloman Air Force Base, a woman witnesses large transparent humanoids moving through the desert and appearing outside her home. The entities distort the background around them like wrinkled plastic or optical camouflage.During a childhood visit to Capulin Volcano, a witness experiences an apparent separation of consciousness and descends into an underground tunnel. There, she encounters a small robed reptilian being holding a tablet-like device.In Rio Arriba County, witnesses observe a bizarre creature with huge bat-like wings, yellow eyes, long fangs, hocked legs, and a white V-shaped marking across its chest.Outside Roswell, members of a touring band encounter a 15-foot luminous sphere that follows their van at approximately 75 miles per hour before stopping instantly above the roadside.Finally, near Valles Caldera, a stranded mail carrier encounters a six-foot insectoid with a grasshopper-like head, large antennae, and multiple pincers.What is occurring throughout New Mexico?Are these encounters connected to unknown animals, indigenous traditions, extraterrestrial intelligence, secret military technology, interdimensional phenomena, or something even stranger?Join Lon Strickler as he examines these chilling eyewitness reports from one of the most mysterious regions in North America.If you have experienced a cryptid, humanoid, UFO, alien encounter, paranormal manifestation, or other unexplained phenomenon, contact Phantoms & Monsters.

In Singapore, the financial center of Southeast Asia, hyperurbanization and commercial development exist alongside enduring belief in the economic power of ghosts: in their ability to control the flows of money and value and to determine the outcome of investments and wagers. Spectropolis: The Enchantment of Capital in Singapore (U Minnesota Press, 2025) explores the unlikely collusion of these two systems, demonstrating both the productive role of popular beliefs in the modern world and the surprising correlations between “late” capitalism and the workings of the spirit realm. Detailing the logic and practices of Singapore's ghost economy—from performing exorcisms on real estate development sites to offering money and commodities to the dead as a hedge against precarious real-world transactions—Joshua Comaroff shows how speculative finance, largely governed by chance and volatility, is understood via its inherently spectral qualities. Based on detailed case studies and years of extensive fieldwork, Spectropolis argues for the power of popular belief systems to theorize contemporary socioeconomic conditions and to give form to collective affect as well as shared aspirations and anxieties, often in deeply hopeful, horizontal and empowering ways. Joshua Comaroff is the assistant professor of architecture at the National University of Singapore. He is coauthor of Horror in Architecture: The Reanimated Edition (Minnesota, 2024). Alyssa Kee recently finished graduate studies at the University of Vienna. Her research interests lie in urban geography, multispecies ecologies, and urban food assemblages.

In Singapore, the financial center of Southeast Asia, hyperurbanization and commercial development exist alongside enduring belief in the economic power of ghosts: in their ability to control the flows of money and value and to determine the outcome of investments and wagers. Spectropolis: The Enchantment of Capital in Singapore (U Minnesota Press, 2025) explores the unlikely collusion of these two systems, demonstrating both the productive role of popular beliefs in the modern world and the surprising correlations between “late” capitalism and the workings of the spirit realm. Detailing the logic and practices of Singapore's ghost economy—from performing exorcisms on real estate development sites to offering money and commodities to the dead as a hedge against precarious real-world transactions—Joshua Comaroff shows how speculative finance, largely governed by chance and volatility, is understood via its inherently spectral qualities. Based on detailed case studies and years of extensive fieldwork, Spectropolis argues for the power of popular belief systems to theorize contemporary socioeconomic conditions and to give form to collective affect as well as shared aspirations and anxieties, often in deeply hopeful, horizontal and empowering ways. Joshua Comaroff is the assistant professor of architecture at the National University of Singapore. He is coauthor of Horror in Architecture: The Reanimated Edition (Minnesota, 2024).

In this episode of The Sacred Travel Podcast, I'm joined by Laura Clark to journey into the Emerald Heart of Albion, the Celtic Rose lineage, and the mystical architecture woven through the lands of Scotland and the wider Celtic realms.Born in Argentina yet deeply called to Albion from childhood, Laura shares how the land itself became her initiator into enchantment, embodied mysticism, dragon consciousness, and the living frequencies carried within the Earth. What You'll Walk Away With:⚜️

A friend forwarded a New York Times essay — Katya Ungerman's "We Are Sliding Back Into the Middle Ages" — cataloguing the strange new texture of American life: Tucker Carlson's reported demon attack, a FEMA official's teleportation claim, the Easter surge of conversions to Catholicism and Orthodoxy, sworn UAP testimony about nonhuman "biologics," a humanoid robot on the White House red carpet. Ungerman's diagnosis is sociological — information overload, AI-fabricated evidence, institutional decay. In this episode I offer a different reading. Working from the scholastic axiom that whatever is received is received in the mode of the receiver, I walk through how four levels of consciousness — pre-modern, modern, postmodern, and post-postmodern — each meet the same "high strangeness" and name it incompatibly. I argue that the universe is genuinely enchanted and that much of what is being called re-enchantment is distortion, and that holding both at once is the work in front of us. Along the way: orange-ray blockage as the recurring diagnostic; the steel-manning of the anti-liberal critique and where it goes catastrophically wrong; the May 17 Rededicate 250 ceremony on the National Mall; Ra's "quiet horror" and the window-balancing principle; why our institutions of formation were so often born inside the Great BASH; the factory farm as karmic substrate; and the hermeneutic I am calling the conspiring wholeness. The throughline, as always, is that love is the great protection — not armor, but a frequency the philosophy of separation cannot grasp. This is my limited, partial, open-handed offering. Take what is useful. Leave what is not. The full essay is at cosmicchrist.net.

What if the natural world holds mysteries we've forgotten how to see? In this enchanting and thought-provoking episode, Laurie Walthers explores Life in Nature Revealed: Real Photographs of Faeries, sharing experiences and images that she believes capture the presence of mystical beings connected to the natural world. Drawing from her photography and personal interpretations, Laurie discusses how moments in nature can inspire a sense of wonder, imagination, and spiritual connection. She explores the long history of faerie folklore across cultures and why stories of elemental beings continue to fascinate people today. This episode invites listeners to approach the subject with curiosity and reflection. Are such images examples of unseen realities, symbolic interpretation, or the power of imagination interacting with nature? Why do myths and legends about faeries endure through generations? And how does reconnecting with nature influence the way we perceive the world around us? Join us for a whimsical and immersive conversation that journeys into the beauty and mystery of the natural world—where folklore, photography, and imagination come together in the search for wonder.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-x-zone-radio-tv-show--1078348/support.Please note that all XZBN radio and/or television shows are Copyright © REL-MAR McConnell Meda Company, Niagara, Ontario, Canada – www.rel-mar.com.

Welcome back to Elminster Answers, the podcast where the realm's most overworked wizard sounds off on the absurdities of fantasy life, from political to economic and everything in between. In this episode, Elminster speaks on why Wizard College is so expensive. He shares insight on his own education and what it took to make it through, including the absurd magical-item requirements that have left a generation of young wizards in deep debt. Elminster offers his two cents on where the funding for those magical items actually goes, and breaks down the skewed allocation between magic schools. He explains why colleges like the College of Illusion get disproportionate funding while Enchantment quietly gets gutted. He also tackles whether the wizard degree still holds the cultural weight it once did, the rise of sorcerer nepotism, and why some young casters are leaving the institution behind to pursue trades like druidry instead. Through his honesty and earnestness, Elminster has earned the respect of his peers and the trust of his loyal viewers. He has no secrets to hide anymore.

Paul Gessing of the Rio Grande Foundation joins us in studio to discuss the latest from Errors of Enchantment. The Albuquerque Journal recently delivered strong reporting on the Albuquerque Public Schools budget, providing important context on education spending. Among the Rio Grande Foundation's lasting impacts has been helping reshape how media outlets cover the size and growth of education budgets in New Mexico. Albuquerque Public Schools adopts massive budget spending $36,859 per-student – Errors of Enchantment The post Paul Gessing appeared first on ABQ Connect.

Date May 10, 2026 Synopsis In this sermon, we explore the defiant nature of joy as an unbidden guest that arrives precisely when we expect it least. Drawing on the series Surprise Party: 50 Days of Enchantment, we examine how the Apostle Paul—writing from the claustrophobia of a prison cell—aligns himself with a "do-it-again" God whose very nature is delight. We are invited to stop resisting these fleeting moments of grace and instead receive them as a holy resistance against a disenchanted world. Ultimately, we discover that when joy finds us amidst our grief, it is not a betrayal of our pain but a profound encounter with the nearness of God.

If you've been wondering whether Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party is actually worth it, how to handle Magic Kingdom after hours events, or how to stop blowing up your day with Lightning Lane Multipass, this episode is for you! Chip and I are back together to dig into 10 real listener questions from families planning their next Walt Disney World trip. We're halfway to Halloween, party tickets are about to go on sale, and the inbox has been overflowing with great questions, so we wanted to knock a bunch of them out in one shot. In this episode we cover whether the Halloween party is worth it for families, when tickets go on sale and which dates actually sell out, what happens to wait times during after hours events versus party nights, and how to plan your park day if you have an after hours event that night. We also tackle two big Lightning Lane Multipass questions, including whether you should buy it for Animal Kingdom if you're rope dropping there and then park hopping to Magic Kingdom. And because we couldn't resist, Chip and I share our must do Disney snacks and rank the four parks for toddlers and kids under five. I also walk through one of my favorite under the radar tips for Magic Kingdom after hours: you can actually watch two fireworks shows in one night, including Enchantment from a near empty hub, even if you don't have an after hours ticket. We talk through how the data shows wait times on Halloween party days are some of the lowest of the year at Magic Kingdom, which makes those days a sneaky win for park hopper guests who are not attending the party. We close out the episode with what I think is the single biggest mistake families make with Lightning Lane Multipass, and it's probably not what you're expecting. If you've ever felt like your whole park day fell apart after one tap in, you'll want to stick around for that segment.

“Once upon a time, words began to vanish from the language of children.” So begins the preface to The Lost Words, written by Robert Macfarlane and illustrated by Jackie Morris. Words for childhood like acorn, adder, and bluebell have been replaced with words like blog, bullet-point, voicemail. As this book plays with various genre, through word and image, The Lost Words re-enchants us into a vision of the natural world which is remarkably consistent with a biblical theology of creation. This talk looks at three themes which are central to the biblical account of creation: forming, filling, and naming. Macfarlane and Morris' playful exploration of these themes re-enchants us into a participatory engagement with the natural world which does not claim mastery, but marvels at mystery—and thereby compels us to orthopraxy in creation-care.

In Part 2 of this series, Pauline shifts from critique to possibility, exploring how the travel experience might be reinvented. She does so by looking back to one of the original architects of luxury travel, César Ritz, founder of The Ritz-Carlton.At a time when travel feels increasingly transactional and depleted, Mr. Ritz remains a powerful and enduring symbol. Rising from humble beginnings in rural Switzerland, he redefined hospitality in the late 19th century by anticipating guests' needs and elevating service into an art form.Pauline unpacks what made him exceptional. It was not just attention to detail, but his understanding that luxury, at its core, is about feelings and sensations. From lighting and spatial design to social choreography and personalized touches, every element of his hotels was designed to elicit ease, dignity, and delight.But his story also carries a cautionary note. The same sensitivity and perfectionism that made him a visionary ultimately led to burnout and depression, revealing the human cost of his relentless drive and uncompromising standards.Building on the themes from Part 1, Pauline makes the case that restoring beauty, care, and intentionality to modern travel is not about returning to the past, but about reclaiming what made travel magical in the first place.

This week Alan Altizer is joined by one of traditional bowhunting's best, Mike Mitten. Mike has done it all and is extremely well known for his solo adventures in the Alaskan wilderness in search of the Alaskan moose. Over the years Mike has graciously shared his adventures, and more importantly, his love and respect for the wild places and traditional bowhunting through his writing, lectures, and video productions. Additionally, he has provided monumental support to bowhunting organizations such as PBS and Compton. This week he once again shares his love for bowhunting and discusses his new book, “The Enchantment of Bowhunting”. Set in on this conversation and share in our love for hunting with the bow and arrow.         

What if the spirit world is closer than we think—woven into the stories, symbols, and experiences that shape our lives? In this enchanting and thought-provoking episode, Sheila Applegate explores Spirit of the Enchanted One, sharing a journey that blends spirituality, imagination, and personal transformation. Drawing from her creative work and spiritual perspective, Sheila discusses how storytelling can become a bridge between the physical and the unseen. She explores themes of inner awakening, connection to higher guidance, and the idea that each of us may carry an “enchanted” aspect within—waiting to be discovered and expressed. This episode invites listeners to step into a world where intuition, symbolism, and meaning come together. Are these experiences expressions of the imagination, or do they reflect a deeper spiritual reality? And how can embracing this perspective bring clarity, creativity, and purpose into everyday life? Join us for a captivating and inspiring conversation that celebrates the magic of storytelling and the mystery of the human spirit—where the journey within may be the most enchanted path of all.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-x-zone-radio-tv-show--1078348/support.Please note that all XZBN radio and/or television shows are Copyright © REL-MAR McConnell Meda Company, Niagara, Ontario, Canada – www.rel-mar.com.

Malcolm Guite joins me to talk about his new epic poem Galahad and the Grail and why these ancient stories still matter. We explore how myth and poetry can help us see what's real, how we've lost a sense of wonder in a mechanized and disenchanted world, and why imagination is essential for meaning. Malcolm shares how the story of the wasteland speaks to our cultural moment - from ecological crisis to the rise of technology - and how beauty, story, and the recovery of the sacred can begin to heal what's been broken. This conversation moves from Arthurian legend to theology, from poetry to modern life, and invites us to see the world again with clarity, depth, and hope.Malcolm Guite is a poet, scholar, and Life Fellow of Girton College, Cambridge. He has published five collections of poetry and many other books including Mariner: A Voyage with Samuel Taylor Coleridge (Hodder, 2017).In 2023 he was awarded the Lanfranc Medal for Education and Scholarship by the Archbishop of Canterbury.

In this episode, Geoff and Katrina dive back into Little Red Riding Hood variants in other parts of the world. ATU 123 and ATU 333 can be found in China, Korea, Japan, and the African Diaspora. But while Bruno Bettelheim and others want to talk a big game about the wolf being a representation of the dangers of sexuality, what can we glean from a shapeshifting tiger/old woman, a yokai, and ...a rabbit? Find out as we have a fun time retelling these tales to explain how some "universals" might not be so universal.   Stories Told: Grandaunt Tiger found in Little Red Riding Hood: A Casebook pg 23 Essay by Wolfram Eberhard The Golden Chain from Heaven found in Folktales of Japan by Keigo Seki Cutta Cord-la found in Afro-American Folktales: Stories from Black Tradition in the New World by Roger D Abrahams Books and Essays Cited: Little Red Riding Hood: A Casebook Edited by Alan Dundes The Story of Grandaunt Tiger essay by Wolfram Eberhard  The Uses of Enchantment by Bruno Bettelheim

We all love the convenience of our digital devices and connected services.  But what about our ever expanding pile of digital breadcrumbs we leave behind as we go about our day? These breadcrumbs can be swept up by private companies to learn quite about us and target us with specific goods and services.  They can also be collected by government agencies who might use this information for legitimate police work or in some instances, political repression.  So, many people are asking themselves, should I be doing more to protect my personal privacy and how should I go about this.    Tech evangelist and prolific author Guy Kawasaki had asked that same question about a year ago. It started him on a journey to learn more about how to use some of the latest communications tools built from the ground up with personal privacy as its primary goal.  This led Guy to install and use Signal, one of the most popular tools today for personal privacy protection.  But as he started to put Signal into his communications work flow, he realized it was not obvious how to use Signal to its full potential. So, Guy collaborated with Madisun Nuismer to publish a “how to” book for using Signal, “Everybody Has Something to Hide” in January of 2026.   In this episode of the Radical Candor Podcast, Kim and Guy have a wide ranging conversation about Guy's concerns about privacy that inspired him to start using Signal and then to write the book.  They discuss the centrality of privacy in a free and democratic society and how tools like Signal can enhance privacy. Kim also shares her experiences with privacy and censorship in her years working in the Soviet Union (and later Russia) in the early 1990s.  They also debate how much we should all trust so much of our personal data with these large tech companies.  As Guy mentions the old saying, “If you aren't paying for the product, you ARE the product!”.   In the media rollercoaster, tech's reputation is at a low point right now. It's worth remembering that there are a lot of idealistic people in tech who are working hard to solve problems with the goal of making the world a better place. That is part of why we want to highlight Guy's messages and what Meredith Whitaker, Brian Acton, Moxie Marlinspike, and the whole team at Signal are doing.

Mary welcomes back seasoned apologist Don Veinot of Midwest Christian Outreach to talk about “sycretism” and why the majority of evangelicals embrace it to some level or another. What is syncretism? Is it those dreadful “Co-Exist” bumper stickers, or something more sinister? Syncretism is the mixing of one faith/belief system with another, it is mixing two things that aren't supposed to go together. Accepting parts of each, but denying the whole. But the gospel cannot be divided and conquered to make us more comfortable. However, syncretism is the natural, meaning carnal, response to the Gospel. Some reject the Gospel completely. Others want to accept only part of the Gospel, merging specific aspects of it to fit their own ideas. We give quite a few examples, some of which might surprise the listener. Then we look at deconstruction – what it is and isn’t. One would hope that the one that is disappointed with orthodoxy on any level actually looked deeply into what Christianity actually teaches and then made a sober decision. Or is it emotional, a response to either God or man letting them down? A fundamental hour with Don.     Stand Up For The Truth Videos: https://rumble.com/user/CTRNOnline & https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgQQSvKiMcglId7oGc5c46A

In this episode, Katrina and Geoff continue on with this year's curriculum project by talking about the psychoanalytic approach to fairy tales. We're talking Freud. We're talking Jung. We're talking Bruno Bettelheim's The Uses of Enchantment. But mostly we are talking about the story Snow White and Rose Red, found in the Brothers Grimm collection. In this story, a bear comes to stay with these two girls in their idyllic cottage all winter. But what can it teach a child's subconscious mind about sexuality before marriage? Everything. Or...maybe nothing. Understanding different lens and frameworks that fairy tales have been examined through is important. What's also important, is to understand when to question at what point those lens become cloudy.  

In this episode of American Potential, host David From is joined by Elizabeth Patton, Americans for Prosperity–Kansas State Director, and JD Marmion, Americans for Prosperity–New Mexico Deputy State Director, for the next installment of 50 Stars, 50 Stories—spotlighting the states that joined the Union in January through a fast-paced trivia showdown. After the fun, the conversation turns serious: Kansas efforts to lower energy costs, rein in state spending, and a major August constitutional amendment aimed at making the Kansas Supreme Court more transparent and accountable after an eye-opening reversal rate. JD shares what's next in New Mexico after the Protect Prosperity tour, the fight against bad policies, and why restoring opportunity in the Land of Enchantment is a top priority for the year ahead.
