Why did the Pharisees clash so often with Jesus if they were genuinely trying to be faithful to God? Kaitlyn explains who the Pharisees actually were, why they saw Jesus as a threat, and why the familiar picture of them as self-righteous villains misses important context. She also explores what Jesus' harshest critiques were really about, why Christians should be careful about calling people "Pharisees" today, and what these conflicts teach us about faithfulness, power, and trying to do Jesus' job for him. 0:00 - Theme Song 1:36 - Why Were the Pharisees Angry at Jesus? 3:11- Who were the Pharisees and Sadducees? 8:42 - Human Mixed Motives 12:20 - Sponsor - JIYU - The Korean skincare brand everyone is talking about.

Why did Jesus go to heaven? And if he went "up," does that mean he's living somewhere in outer space? Kaitlyn and Mike unpack the surprisingly strange story of Jesus' ascension and why the Bible gives us so few details about where Jesus actually went. Kaitlyn explains why the ascension isn't primarily about Jesus leaving the earth, but about Jesus taking his place as King, ruling and reigning at the right hand of the Father. 0:00 - Theme Song 1:26 - Why Did Jesus Go to Heaven? 2:23 - What is Biggest Explosion in the Bible? 5:38 - Why Did Jesus leave? 10:57 - Jesus in Space? 16:18 - Sponsor - With & For: Psychology and Spirituality for Thriving Podcast.

In 2006, there was a lot of momentum on tackling the climate crisis: Elizabeth May won the leadership promising to make electoral gains, An Inconvenient Truth was a critical and commercial movie hit, and even The Guardian noted it was “the year the world woke up” to the climate action, and then… Well, progress stalled. Now, 20 years later, the Greens are looking for a leader again, but in this political climate can the Greens still make gains? After 13 years as leader, May announced her retirement in 2019, and the next year, after eight rounds of voting, Toronto lawyer Annamie Paul took over. Without re-litigating what happened next, let's just say that there was a lot of internal strife in the party, and Paul quit. May returned to the leadership in 2021, and then tried a co-leadership arrangement with Jonathan Pedneault, but that too hit a snag when Pedneault finished fifth in Outremont in 2025. But Pedneault wasn't the only one to have a disappointing election night in 2025. Up the road in Kitchener Centre, Mike Morrice lost re-election as MP by a startlingly slim 375 votes. Morrice decided that he was too close to give up and pledged to run again in the next federal election but then he decided to take on a new opportunity: running for leader. Whether its with Morrice in the head office or not, can the Green Party regain their lost momentum? Mike Morrice will join us this edition of the podcast to talk about the hard lessons learned from his election loss, and why he wants to be the leader of the Green Party beyond slogans. He will also talk about how the Greens won and lost confidence over the last 20 years, how the time may be ripe for a resurgence and how politicians can overcome voter cynicism to believe that change is possible. And finally, he will discuss why he will remain bound to the Kitchener area if ends up becoming party leader. So let's talk about what it takes to lead a federal party on this week's Guelph Politicast! You can follow Morrice on Instagram, check out his Kitchener Centre campaign website here, and you can learn more about his bid to lead the Green Party here. The Green Party leadership campaign is now underway, and you learn about Morrice and the other candidate Nira Dookeran and get important dates at the Green Party of Canada website. The new Green leader will be announced after the close of voting on November 14. You can also watch this interview on YouTube! The host for the Guelph Politicast is Podbean.

This week on End Credits we say "goodbye"... for two weeks. Next week, we're taking our usual summer vacation, and we can think of no better way to leave things than to review the massive superhero sequel Spider-Man: Brand New Day, which you can now see in a theatre near you. We're also going to dig into a list of powerful directors, and the summer movies... of 2027! This Wednesday, August 5, at 3 pm, Adam A. Donaldson and Peter Salmon will discuss: Influence Peddling. Recently, Vulture published a list of the 100 most powerful directors in Hollywood, and - spoiler alert! - Christopher Nolan is number one! That was the least surprising part of the list. We will dig in and talk about some of the more surprising choices and placements. Never Too Early For Next Summer. Although summer's not technically over till Labour Day, we're going to dedicate some of our time this week to looking forward to next summer. From a new Star Wars starring Ryan Gosling, a Minecraft sequel and a prequel for Rambo and Ocean's 11 respectively, we will draft some of the (currently) hottest picks. REVIEW: Spider-Man: Brand New Day (2026). It's been nearly five years since Spider-Man defeated a rogues gallery of his villains (not to mention the Omicron wave of COVID) to save the world, but what it cost him was a magic spell that made everyone forget Peter Parker. Now, in Spider-Man: Brand New Day, Peter confronts his isolation, his mutating powers, a deceitful government agency, and an antagonist from an entirely different Marvel franchise (?!). History shows us that you can never bet against a Spider-Man movie, but is there more to this than money? End Credits is on CFRU 93.3 fm and cfru.ca Wednesday at 3 pm. *Programming Note: End Credits will be running previously enjoyed episodes on Wednesday August 12 and 19. We will be back with new episodes on Wednesday August 26.
This is a big year for Guelph. Our downtown landscape is changing, we have an election in the fall that will usher in a new mayor and council, and then we will mark the city's 200th birthday in the spring. Two centuries ago, it all began with one man from Scotland cutting down a tree near what we now call the Eramosa River, but how much about John Galt do we actually know? Well, as you will recall, one local academic knows a lot... A lot of assumptions have been made about Galt, and the popular wisdom for years was that he was a failure as the head of the Canada Company, yet the city he created survives and thrives 200 years later. But what about Galt as a colonizer? It may surprise you to learn that Galt, ever the iconoclast, had some unusual ideas for how settlers and Indigenous people should get along as equals, and it was among the reasons why he was sent back to Scotland two years after founding Guelph. This week, we're joined by someone who might know Galt better than anyone (in the 21st century). Gil Stelter, a professor emeritus from the history department at the University of Guelph, has dedicated his life's studious endeavours to the man who's name is on the proverbial patent for Guelph. In his career, Stelter has amassed quite a number of insight into the man, his career as a businessman and author, and what his intentions were for Guelph, some of which actually came to pass. Revisiting an interview from the podcast in August 2023, Stelter gives us a breakdown on who John Galt was, and his notoriety beyond the borders of Guelph. He will also talk about what Galt's written works tell us about his thinking, how his relationship with John Brant informed his thinking when settling Guelph, and what Galt might think of Guelph now nearly 200 years later. Also, he will talk about how Galt might have been right at home among the celebrity businessmen of modern day. So let's talk again about the John Galt you don't know on this week's Guelph Politicast! Learning the basics about the life of John Galt is relatively easy, but if you want to follow up on this particular discussion, you can consult Galt's written works, including The Apostate or Atlantis Destroyed, which you can buy through Vocamus Press. You can also watch Stelter's presentation to the Guelph Historical Society on Rogers' YouTube channel. The host for the Guelph Politicast is Podbean.

The story of Abraham and Isaac is one of the most unsettling passages in the Bible. Kaitlyn explains why God tested Abraham even though he already knew what Abraham would do, and what the story reveals about both faith and the character of God. God's tests are not meant to reveal something to him, but to reveal and form something in us. 0:00 - Theme Song 1:04 - Why Did God Test Abraham? 5:27 - Uncomfortable Things in Scripture 10:15 - Tempting vs Testing 16:15 - Faithfulness 25:36 - Wrapping Up 27:51 - End Credits

This week on End Credits we get topical. We're tackling two movies this week, one new and one old, and they both have the state of society on their minds. First up, from 1976, we will continue with our ongoing series and a satire that's still razor sharp, and for the review we will get into the latest film from a provocative filmmaker that was recently in theatres for too short a time. This Wednesday, July 29, at 3 pm, Adam A. Donaldson and Candice Lepage will discuss: 6 For '76: Network. Continuing on with our series dedicated to the movies of 1976 we come to the pièce de résistance: Sidney Lumet's Network. Hailed for the last 50 years as a stinging satire, and a prescient polemic, Network has one of the most famous scenes in movie history when Peter Finch as network news anchor Howard Beale declares, "I'm mad as hell and I'm not going to take this anymore." How does this movie still hit so hard in 2026? REVIEW: I Love Boosters (2026). It's been eight years since Boots Riley's first film, Sorry to Bother You, a stunning and star-studded debut that was bursting with ideas and a point of view. Get ready for I Love Boosters, which is also full of ideas but this time it focuses on a group of organized shoplifters - called Boosters - practicing "fashion forward filanthropy" (branding!). That's just the beginning though because the plot gets so much more complicated, and weirder, than you can possibly imagine. So the question of the hour is, do we love I Love Boosters? End Credits is on CFRU 93.3 fm and cfru.ca Wednesday at 3 pm.
Guelph City Council is now on summer break, a long break and then just a few more meetings before the municipal election campaign can really get underway. Perhaps you can't handle anymore council talk, maybe you just want to be free to think about getting an ice cream at the Boathouse, or plan to visit all your favourite vendors at Ribfest, but after this you will be free... The recap of May, June and July's council meetings! A lot of big stuff came down in the last few months. Remember the debate over the McQuillan's Bridge and whether the City should get a newer, cheaper bridge? Of course that wasn't the only debate involving trails, which was a recurring theme with a lot of planning discussions. And speaking of planning, there was also a big debate about eight hectates of the Niska lands, a debate that did not turn out the way people hoped. And on the topic of hopes, how is the City of Guelph doing with achieving the goals of the strategic plan? Let's find out as we recap the spring and summer events at council on this edition of the Guelph Politicast! There are two more council meetings before the election, and they're both in September. First the planning meeting will take place on Wednesday September 9 and that agenda will drop on the City of Guelph website on Thursday August 27. Stay on top of council coverage every week by following @adamadonaldson on Blue Sky and by subscribing to the Guelph Politico Tip Sheet newsletter. The Thursday edition is the recap of that week's council meeting. The host for the Guelph Politicast is Podbean.

In wedding ceremonies, couples say, "Til death do us part." Wait, but what happens to your marriage after death? Jesus talks only briefly about marriage and weddings, but that has been enough to give scholars a lot to debate about throughout the centuries.

This week on End Credits, we go big *and* go home! It feels like we've been waiting for it forever, and last weekend it finally arrived on all the biggest screens available. That's right, we're talking about Christopher's Nolan's epic re-telling of The Odyssey, now definitely in a theatre near you, and sticking with Nolan, we will talk about one of his forgotten(?) classics. This Wednesday, July 22, at 3 pm, Adam A. Donaldson and Tim Phillips will discuss: Tenet and the Mind of Christopher Nolan. In the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, Christopher Nolan insisted that they release his sci-fi action flick Tenet in theatres no matter how limited the attendance restrictions could be. That's one of the reasons Tenet is seen as a rare Nolan misfire, but as we look ahead to The Odyssey, and Nolan's status as a Hollywood blockbuster juggernaut, we will re-examine Tenet and what it can tell us about the director. REVIEW: The Odyssey (2026). Hotly anticipated for well over a year, we are finally delivered The Odyssey, Christopher Nolan's follow-up to his Oscar-winning magnum opus Oppenheimer. The story is well-known, Trojan War hero Odysseus undertakes a decades long quest to return to his home and his wife, while Penelope is being courted by a large group of suitors who want to replace him on the throne of Ithaca. Matt Damon leads an all-star cast who all fill parts big and small, but is Nolan's epic "too big to fail", or is it worthy of all the hype? End Credits is on CFRU 93.3 fm and cfru.ca Wednesday at 3 pm.

It seemed to pass by without much commentary earlier this year, but January 29 marked the tenth anniversary of the last edition of the Guelph Mercury. Recently, with the closure of 570 News in Kitchener, a discussion about the shrinking state of local news is timely again, and as we head into municipal election season, shouldn't it be more top of mind as we get ready to elect a new mayor and council? Two weeks ago, Rogers Sports & Media announced that they were cutting 230 jobs and closing six radio stations across Canada, including 570 News in Kitchener. It's kind of a big hit to the Waterloo Region eco-system because The Mike Farwell Show was a fairly popular platform to discuss local issues, and 570 was the radio broadcast home for the Kitchener Rangers. An important community hub was zapped just like *that* on a random Tuesday! And on top of that, these cuts come at the worst possible time as every Ontario municipality enters election season this fall. So in the wake of these recent cuts, and in anticipation of the labour intensive work coming this fall, we tap into the experience and expertise of the Ink-Stained Wretches, a grassroots advocacy group dedicated to building a culture of appreciation for quality journalism in aid of democracy. How can we know who we're voting for without a robust local media eco-system? Mirko Petricevic. the chief "Ink-stigator" of Ink-Stained Wretches, joins us today on this edition of the pod as we talk about why the closure of 570 News came as such a big blow, and why it continues to be so hard to make the erosion of local news a community issue. He will also talk about walking the fine line between mutual interest and accountability, why local media still has an advantage in securing people's trust, and why we need a “buy local” campaign for our community news outlets. So let's talk again about the state of local news on this week's Guelph Politicast! You can learn more about Ink-Stained Wretches at their website, or you can follow them on Facebook and Blue Sky. For some more conversation about the state of local media, especially in Waterloo Region, you can check out a panel discussion that was hosted at the Ink-Stained Wretches Journalism Film Festival, which took place earlier this spring, at Midtown Radio here.

Crying can feel like a sign of weakness, which makes it hard to imagine an all-powerful God shedding tears.

This week on End Credits, we're doing a clip show! Taking a break from the summer movie madness, we will revisit our reviews for what are objectionably the best movies of the year so far, one is a buddy space adventure to save the world, one is a buddy movie about suffering for your art, and the last one is a buddy film about pushing your buddy too far. Well, sort of. This Wednesday, July 8, at 3 pm, Adam A. Donaldson, Tim Phillips, Peter Salmon and Candice Lepage will discuss: The Best of 2026 So Far. Critics can have different ideas about what does and doesn't make a "Best of the Year" list, but for 2026 so far, there seems to be three picks that just about every critic agrees are the best of this year! On this week's show we will go back to space with Tim for Project Hail Mary, try and get a show at the Rivoli with Peter and Nirvanna The Band The Show The Movie, and we will break a One Wish Willow and get obsessed all over again with Obsession. Relax this week as we get mentally ready for the next big thing... End Credits is on CFRU 93.3 fm and cfru.ca Wednesday at 3 pm.
Due to circumstances beyond our control, this week's episode of the Guelph Politicast is a combination of two interviews from recent editions of Open Sources Guelph. Housing remains a big issue in this city, as we saw as recently as last night's council meeting, but housing is an Ontario-wide issue too so for this episode of the pod we will open our gaze to areas beyond our borders. Two times now, Waterloo Region has tried to evict a homeless encampment on the site of proposed transit hub project in Kitchener, and twice an Ontario court has upheld the Charter rights of the people living there. Now, the Region and the Ontario government are trying to take things to the Court of Appeals, but will they have any greater success there? In part one, Waterloo Region Community Legal Services executive director Ashley Schuitema, who represents the residents, will tell us why she's holding all the cards. For years, we've been waiting for all levels of government to make substantial progress on getting more affordable homes built, but some advocates are now wondering if maybe working within the present system is worth their while. In part 2 we will be joined by Matt Whitfield and Gaetan Heroux, organizers of the People's Assembly for Housing Justice, who tell us why fighting Toronto's housing crisis may not involve getting involved in the local election this fall. So let's look at some housing issues beyond the immediate Guelph area on this week's Guelph Politicast! You can learn more about the Waterloo Region Community Legal Services, including updates about the fight for the Kitchener encampment on their website. You can learn more about the Parkdale Housing Justine Network on Instagram and you can learn about the Toronto Tenant Union at their website. If you would like to learn more about Guelph's own nascent tenant union will be taking part in Breezy Breakfast this Thursday at 8 am at Uptown Grill. The host for the Guelph Politicast is Podbean.

The story of Adam and Eve has often been used to argue that men were created to lead and women were created to assist. But does Genesis actually say that? Kaitlyn looks more closely at the two creation accounts, the meaning of the word "helper," and why Eve's creation from Adam's side is meant to emphasize their shared humanity rather than her inferiority. 0:00 - Theme Song 0:56 - How Did God Make Even Out of Adam's Rib? 6:02 - Do We Know Genesis? 14:58 - Sponsor - Blissy - Pure mulberry silk pillow cases—hypoallergenic, naturally cooling, and recommended by dermatologists!

Heaven is often imagined as clouds, mansions, and maybe a few streets of gold, but Jesus' promise in John 14 is far more comforting than heavenly real estate. Kaitlyn talks about what Jesus meant when he said his Father's house has many rooms, why "mansions" may be a misunderstanding, and how the Bible's picture of eternity is physical, communal, and full of belonging. Heaven may not include a private mansion, but may offer something much better: a place in God's household. 0:00 - Theme Song 1:55 - Does God Have Mansions for Us? 3:09 - Mansion? Room?

Kaitlyn and Mike explore whether sin only affects humans, whether other planets are part of a fallen creation, and what the Bible's big-picture story of creation and redemption might have to say about life beyond Earth.

When Jesus prayed, was he talking to himself? Kaitlyn dives into the deep end of Christian theology, talking about the Trinity, Jesus' humanity, and why "three persons, one God" is both true and mysterious.

Daniel prays where people can see him, but Jesus tells his followers not to pray just to be noticed. So did Daniel and Jesus disagree about prayer? Kaitlyn explains why Daniel's prayer was an act of quiet faithfulness, not religious showmanship, and why Jesus was warning against using prayer to impress an audience. Mike and Kaitlyn talk about public faith, political protest, performative religion, and the difference between staying faithful to God and trying to look faithful to everyone else. 0:00 - Theme Song 0:58 - Was Daniel a Hypocrite? 6:57 - What's the Lion's Den Story's Point? 11:40 - Sponsor - Belonging by Design - Learn how to show up for special-needs families at your church.

It's a mailbag episode, and Kaitlyn is taking on a wide range of listener questions about church, communion, and Christian formation. Is it okay to take the Lord's Supper by yourself at home if your church only celebrates it once a month? What does it actually mean to "live in light of the resurrection"? And how much theological training should pastors and ministry leaders have before stepping into leadership? Plus, Kaitlyn and Mike wrestle honestly with what to do when every church near you feels too casual, too shallow, or just not what you hoped for. 0:00 - Theme Song 1:33 - Can You Do the Lord's Supper Alone/ 11:21 - Living in Light of the Resurrection? 17:22 - Importance of Being "Theologically-Trained" 25:02 - Sponsor - Belonging by Design - Learn how to show up for special-needs families at your church.

Send Us A Message or Ask Us A Question? TRE and the Power of Spontaneous Shaking: Richmond Heath on Somatic Stress RecoverySavia Rocks welcomes physiotherapist and TRE Australia founder Richmond Heath to season seven of The Us People Podcast to discuss spontaneous shaking/trembling as an overlooked, positive human recovery reflex. Richmond shares growing up on a farm in Victoria, later developing chronic pain and stress, and experiencing spontaneous movement during Vipassana meditation that shifted his understanding of tension and healing. He explains TRE (Tension/Trauma Release Exercises) as a trauma-informed method that uses simple muscle fatigue to deliberately evoke and regulate tremors, reframing shaking from a symptom of anxiety, shock, or weakness into a mechanism that discharges stress and adrenaline. The conversation covers somatics, polyvagal theory, trauma as immobilization, cultural suppression of shaking, examples from animals and traditional societies, and practical supports like breathwork, mindfulness, exercise, community, and purpose, plus Richmond's TRE online course (trecourse.com) and its global reach.00:00 Welcome to the Podcast02:27 Richmond Heath's Backstory03:35 Pain to Breakthrough10:01 Discovering TRE Purpose14:06 What Is TRE22:26 Shaking and Anxiety31:38 Somatic Explained39:10 Trauma Origins and Inheritance41:34 Practical Stress Tools44:39 Happiness Through Service46:47 Why TRE Calms Fast48:18 Beyond Mindfulness Limits49:40 COVID Shift to Online54:05 Polyvagal Science Basics56:22 Freeze Response Explained01:01:25 Everyday Trauma Example01:04:33 Why Adults Suppress Shaking01:06:54 Authenticity and Reawakening01:14:12 Key Takeaways and Utero Movement01:19:11 How to Learn TRE01:23:14 Closing Thanks and Outro01:25:51 End Credits and Final ReflectionThank you so much Richmond for teaching us that Trauma show be shown freely in order to heal ourselves - Savia RocksWebsite: https://www.treaustralia.com/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/people/TRE-Australia/100057615902736/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tre_australia/?hl=enLinkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/richmond-heath-08719326/Support the show
When we say Scripture is inspired by God, what do we mean? Did God simply dictate every word, or put the authors in some sort of trance? Did Paul know he was writing Scripture when he first penned his letter to the Romans? Kaitlyn helps us understand what Christians mean when they say the Bible is "God-breathed," and how the Holy Spirit worked through real people with real personalities, purposes, cultures, and quirks. She also explains why God's choice to work through messy human means is not a problem to solve, but a gift to receive. 0:00 - Theme Song 2:58 - How Did the Bible Writers Know About God? 7:55 - The Experience of Being Inspired 12:20 - Sponsor - Blissy - Pure mulberry silk pillow cases—hypoallergenic, naturally cooling, and recommended by dermatologists!

Kaitlyn looks at why Proverbs personifies both wisdom and folly as women, how those images have often been misunderstood, and why Proverbs 31 should not be treated as an impossible checklist for Christian womanhood. She also talk about the Bible's honest account of sin's impact on men and women, the difference between wisdom and certainty, and why learning to live with unanswered questions can actually strengthen faith. 0:00 - Theme Song 1:40 - What's Up with Proverbs? 9:24 - Devaluing Women 13:20 - Sponsor - World Relief - Partner with World Relief in creating safety, stability and belonging for refugees and immigrants at https://www.worldrelief.org/KAITLYN 14:38 - The Bible Isn't a Formula 20:00 - Comfort in Uncertainty 24:31 - End Credits
Ever looked around during worship and wondered why everyone suddenly has their hands in the air? Kaitlyn and producer Mike explore where this practice comes from, what the Bible actually says about worship, and why different churches express worship in such different ways. They also unpack the tension between emotional worship and thoughtful faith, and ask an important question: What if God cares more about the condition of your heart than the placement of your hands? 0:00 - Theme Song 1:01 - Why Do We Put Hands Up in Worship? 3:45 - Ways of Worship 9:05 - The Anti-Hand-Raising Argument 14:45 - Sponsor - After Class Podcast - Take Theology seriously… without taking yourself too seriously: https://afterclass.libsyn.com/ 15:58 - Sponsor - OneAccord - Live-translation platform built for churches!

We know we are supposed to get baptized, but does it matter where it happens?

Ever read something Jesus said and thought… wait, was that supposed to make sense? One young listener asks why Jesus seemed to intentionally confuse people in Mark 4, and it turns out she's stumbled onto one of the hardest passages in the Gospels. Kaitlyn and Mike dig into the parable of the sower, Jesus' surprising quote from Isaiah, and whether God actually wants some people not to understand. They also wrestle with a tension many of us feel: why doesn't God just make everything clearer?

You may have heard people in church say, "Jesus is the Word of God," but they also say, "The Bible is the Word of God." The Bible itself refers to Jesus as the "Word of God."

BGMania B-Sides #44 of BGMania: A Video Game Music Podcast. Today on the show, Bedroth takes us into the pixel-crafted world of Tiny Thor, a retro-inspired platformer that blends classic 16-bit charm with surprisingly modern design sensibilities. What starts as a colorful, almost playful journey quickly reveals itself to be a tightly tuned experience, where precision, momentum, and mastery of Thor's iconic hammer become the key to pushing forward. It's a game that feels nostalgic on the surface, but underneath, it's constantly asking more of you. That same duality carries straight into the soundtrack. Bright, energetic melodies immediately pull you in, evoking that golden-era platforming feel, but there's a sharpness to the composition that keeps everything from feeling too safe or predictable. Driving rhythms, punchy synth leads, and clever use of space give each track a sense of motion, like the music itself is ricocheting alongside Thor's hammer. It's playful without being lightweight, and technical without losing its sense of fun, creating a score that feels right at home in both the past and the present.

If your dog goes to heaven, will she see Jesus as a dog? Kaitlyn and Mike explore what the Bible actually says about animals, God's care for creation, and whether the pets we love might be part of the new creation. They tackle why Jesus became human and why that particular, embodied humanity still matters today. The conversation leads to a bigger question many adults quietly assume: is Jesus whoever we want him to be?

Most of us assume angels rank above humans in the great cosmic hierarchy. But angels, for all their mystery and power, lack two essential parts of what it means to be human: a physical body and the kind of covenant relationship with God that shapes our story. Kaitlyn takes up the simple question of whether angels are boys or girls and uses it to draw out the deeper differences between angels and humans and how these differences point us back to the astonishing claim at the heart of Scripture: that embodied, relational humanity holds a uniquely honored place in God's creation. 0:00 - Theme Song 1:08 - Angels in the Bible 8:26 - Do Angels Have Bodies? 13:34 - Sponsor - Hiya Health - Go to https://www.hiyahealth.com/CURIOUSLY to receive 50% off your first order 15:01 - Sponsor - With & For: Psychology and Spirituality for Thriving Podcast.

Did God choose you or did you choose God? Kaitlyn tackles one of Christianity's most debated questions, predestination vs. free will, exploring what the Bible says about God's sovereignty, human choice, and how believers have wrestled with holding both together for centuries.

Over the last 30 years, the number of Americans who say they highly value patriotism, religion, community, and family has dropped dramatically. At the same time, the number of Americans who care about making more money has gone up. Phil, Kaitlyn, and Skye discuss David Brooks' new article about the culture's shift toward autonomy and away from loving attachments, and how Christians can begin rebuilding their social muscles. Sociologist and former pastor, Ryan Burge, is back to discuss why the political polarization of Christianity is hurting both the church and democracy.
