As we come to the end of the Ladder of Divine Ascent St. John unfolds for us the heights to which we are drawn – the theological virtues of Faith, Hope and Love. Hope, often the most neglected of virtues, is the annulment of despair. It allows us to hold on to the promise of Christ to be with us always. Even when faith seems to fail us and all grows dark because of the cross that we carry, our hope in the Lord allows us to be consoled by his mercy and to be drawn forward. It protects us from despondency and doubt. Love when unimpeded allows us to see as God sees; to see the signs of the times and how things will unfold even when all seems chaotic. This divine love yields miracles; the supernatural healing and perfecting the natural. Through it we come to see the things of the kingdom with clarity. This clarity creates a fire within the heart; an urgent longing and thirst for the Lord that only he can quench. It is our movement into eternity. It reveals to us that the kingdom is now, heaven is now, eternity is now! We come to see that this love is not distant but that the kingdom dwells within.  St. John closes the step by calling out to Love Himself to satisfy his desire, to show him the path of the ascent that is most direct. For even though he had received this wisdom from others, St. John understands that it is only Love himself who can guide us. It is the experience of this love alone that moves us from words to reality. Finally, St. John exhorts us along with all those who read his book to ascend eagerly and to be resolved in their hearts to strive for the Lord above all things. He is our life, our salvation, our love! --- Text of chat during the group: 00:01:21 Bob Cihak, AZ: My microphone isn't working again but this is probably for the better, because I have a strong head cold with the virus also giving my voice into a gravelly inflection.   Doreen Stacy, our artist friend's funeral was yesterday.

Send us a textWelcome back to The Kingstonian Podcast! We're excited to kick off Season 8 with a timely discussion on the critical state of local news.

Together, they purchased the Picton Gazette, the oldest weekly newspaper in Canada, with a mission to preserve and promote local journalism.Join us as we explore their journey, the challenges they face, and the importance of local stories in fostering community connection and awareness.

BYU-Idaho English professor Dr. Trenton Olsen has finished editing “The Complete Personal Essays of Robert Louis Stevenson” into a book available to the public.

Bill Hardwig is a Cormacian scholar & associate professor of English at the University of Tennessee in Knoxville, Tennessee. This episode is devoted to the early Appalachian Tennessee novels of the late, great, literary master, Cormac McCarthy [best known for No Country for Old Men, All The Pretty Horses, & The Road]. We begin by defining and discussing the literary genre: the southern gothic. From there we lay out the synopsis & inspiration behind three of Cormac's outstanding southern gothic novels: Child of God about a depraved serial killer roaming the Tennessee hills; Outer Dark about an incestuous brother & sister & their baby that's left for dead; and Suttree, Cormac's first acclaimed masterpiece about a shiftless fisherman living amongst the river & street life of 1950's Knoxville where he befriends the likes of petty-criminals, drunks, vagrants and prostitutes. Throughout we will hear of Cormac's upbringing in Knoxville with tidbits on trapping, taxonomy, hellhounds, regional flora & fauna, a folder of local stories, and city landmarks one can visit from Suttree. Bill reads us two passages to illustrate Cormac's ability to capture the region's voice, and finally, we end on highlighting the importance of ambiguity in great works of fiction.

 Biracial model, actress, and self-proclaimed fear chaser, Yan-Kay Crystal Lowe knows how to step out before the camera, and present in the industry of film. However, as the artistic, intelligent daughter of an English Professor, she knew she had more to say! Enter, Directing. Storytelling from behind the camera opened a whole new world of nuance, inspiration, the view from a female perspective, and the continued movement towards equality. How bad do you want it? You're going to have to fight more than others. Death of ego is necessary to accept who you are or want to be, whether anyone acknowledges you or not. Don't give up on yourself. Pull back and reset. Keep going. Shift Gears and do what it takes! It won't matter who says ‘no' now.Crystal's Favourite Album: Greatest Hits by Nicotine Dolls, especially Lead Singer Sam CieriInstagram https://www.instagram.com/officialcrystallowe/

When it comes to certain fandom and cosplay communities, getting your costume right is key, or you might get called out for not being 100% accurate. But Steampunk is a little different. It's retro, but it's futuristic. It's Victorian, but you can also just go vintage. It's corsets, but also cogs, coils and gadgets. Steampunk, a subgenre of science fiction, is all about retro futuristic technology and being as creative as possible. But Steampunk is not just about fashion!  Today, we dive into the world of Steampunk and hear from the Steampunk Scholar.

GUEST BIO Scott Okamoto is a former English professor and ex-Evangelical writer, musician, and home chef. His newly released book is called Asian American Apostate: Losing Religion and Finding Myself at an Evangelical University. In the book, Scott tells his story of losing all faith while teaching at an evangelical university. Through this process, he dug deep into his roots as a 4th generation Japanese American and found community, art, music, and a life worth living. Scott also has a podcast called Chapel Probation. Instagram | Twitter | Web DEFINITIONS Religious Deconstruction - a process in which people re-examine their faith and previously held beliefs, sometimes to the point of leaving the religion. Religious Deconstruction - a process in which people re-examine their faith and previously held beliefs, sometimes to the point of leaving the religion. Heart Mountain is a historic site sharing the stories of WW2 Japanese American prisoners. Reparations: $20,000 checks paid in the 1990s to some 82,000 surviving Japanese American individuals who was detained in the camps. Camp residents lost some $400 million in property during their incarceration. MENTIONED TAKEAWAYS Japanese Incarceration Camps are still glossed over in history classes. We need to demand that it be taught like Germany teaches about the Nazis. Many felt embarrassed about their incarceration and tried to be exemplary patriots after their release in order to avoid being sent to camps again. Representation helped many Japanese Americans feel like it was ok to talk about the camps. Redlining and other discriminatory practices affect all of us. You don't win people over with facts and arguments, but by building relationships with them. Many of the views of evangelicals are not actually rooted in the bible. Religious texts are updated by flawed humans. Deconstructing is easier if you have a good support system and community outside of religion. You don't have to understand someone's experience to show compassion.

If you've ever dreamed about writing or dabbled in writing then you've probably engaged in that fantasy where Terry Gross or Oprah is interviewing you about your brilliant new best seller or memoir or thriller or screen play. For most of us that's just a day dream. But a rare handful of local writers are actually authors of books with titles published by legitimate publishers. How does this happen? Is there a secret to getting someone to read your manuscript? If a publisher picks it up, does it change your life? Two local authors tell all Michael Rubin is a full-time attorney specializing in appellate law with the high powered McGlinchey firm here in Baton Rouge. He's also a successful author of legal thrillers that, like John Grisham's gripping novels, center on things Mike knows well—the Deep South, racism, family legacies and where the law intersects with the criminal justice system. Mike is the co-author of The Cottoncrest Curse, Cashed Out and A White Hot Plan along with his wife, Ayan. The books are published by LSU Press and the University of Lafayette Press and have earned a handful of book awards. Mike's varied career doesn't end with just the law and writing novels, he's also had stints as a jazz musician, a humorist and a public speaker. Barbara Sims is also an author. Her 2014 book, The Next Elvis: Searching for Stardom at Sun Records, is a memoir of her years working as a publicist and promoter at Sun Records in Memphis in the male-dominated workforce of the 1950s. At the time, Barbara was in her early 20s, and her job at Sun placed her in the studio with the likes of Johnny Cash, Roy Orbison, Jerry Lee Lewis, Charlie Rich and other Sun entertainers. Like Mike, Barbara has had a rich and varied career, and though her time at Sun Records was perhaps the most glamorous and book-worthy chapter, she went on to become an English Professor at LSU here in Baton Rouge, where she taught for more than 30 years. Out to Lunch is recorded live over lunch at Mansurs on the Boulevard. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We are happy to welcome Obed Silva to The Hamilton Review Podcast - don't miss Obed's phenomenal story! Obed Silva was born in Chihuahua, Mexico, and grew up in Orange County, California.   Raised by a single mother who was often at work, Obed found comfort in the streets early on in his youth, joining a gang and dropping out of high school at age fourteen. After spending the next few years coming in and out of juvenile institutions, at age seventeen, Obed was shot in the back and left paralyzed from the waist down while participating in a liquor store robbery.  A year later, he found himself in a courtroom facing attempted murder charges for shooting a rival gang member. At the time, he was looking at serving a life sentence in prison. Ultimately, he was sentenced to five years on gang-terms probation. It was during this time that he committed himself to a life of education, earning an associate of arts degree at Cypress College before attending California State University at Los Angeles, where he later earned a bachelor's degree in creative writing and a master's degree in English.   Obed teaches English at East Los Angeles College. The Death of My Father the Pope is the first of his two memoirs to be published. He is currently completing his second memoir, In The Hands of My Mother.

Inspired by Bradley Sommer's tweet this past summer about the ongoing challenges of the Humanities job market in the U.S., this four part podcast (produced by Erica Bennett, an M.A. student in the Department of Religious Studies at the University of Alabama) talks with an early career scholar now looking for work in academia, a senior scholar with a view from the inside, and those who either earned their doctorate and established a career outside the university or those who decided early on that graduate work was not their preferred career path. In the second episode of the series, Erica and Jacob Barrett (himself just starting his Ph.D. at UNC Chapel Hill) learn of some of the historical but also contemporary factors impacting the academic job market, as well as efforts by faculty to intervene in it, by talking with Pamela Gilbert, an English Professor at the University of Florida. About the guest: Pamela K. Gilbert was a John Simon Guggenheim Fellow (2016) and Society for the Humanities Fellow at Cornell (2016-17) and, most recently, is the author of Victorian Skin: Surface, Self, History. She is on the executive committee for the North American Victorian Studies Association and is the series editor for the SUNY Press book series Studies in the Long Nineteenth Century. She regularly teaches courses in Victorian Literature, Literature and Medicine, and topics in Victorian Gender and Class.

WNBA star Brittney Griner was released from Russia Thursday morning. The Washington Post's Missy Ryan talks about the prisoner swap that led to her release. Then, a week after New York City Mayor Eric Adams announced a controversial move to stem homelessness, a longtime paramedic who has seen mental health distress on the streets daily is speaking out. Anthony Almojera joins us. And, University of Texas English professor Elizabeth Scala teaches a course that connects Taylor Swift's songwriting to the works of William Shakespeare, Sylvia Plath and other literary greats. She explains the idea behind the class.

What do children love most about books? Leaving their mark on inviting white spaces? Or that enchanting feeling when a book marks them as its own, taking them off to where the wild things are? Back in 2021, Elizabeth and John invited illustrious and illuminating book historian Leah Price to decode childhood reading past and present. The conversation explores the tactile and textual properties of great children's books and debate adult fondness for juvenile literature. Leah asks if identifying with a literary character is a sign of virtuous imagination, or of craziness and laziness. She also schools John on what makes a good association copy, and reveals her son's magic words when he wants her to tell a story: Read it! For many years an English Professor at Harvard, Leah is founder and director of the Rutgers Initiative for the Book, and she tweets at @LeahAtWhatPrice. Her What We Talk About When We Talk About Books recently won Phi Beta Kappa's Christian Gauss Award. Sometime around the turn of the millennium, the concern about distinguishing between juvenile and adult books seemed to shift from moral panic about speeding up sexual maturity to worry about turning back the clock on what we now call adulting through the mainstreaming of young adult literature. Mentioned in the episode: Patrick Mc Donnell, A Perfectly Messed-Up Story “Association copy”–e.g. Frida Kahlo's goofily annotated and illustrated Works of Edgar Allen Poe. Mo Willem, We Are in a Book! (An Elephant and Piggie Book) Manners with a Library Book Dorothy Kunhardt, Pat the Bunny Erica Carle, The Very Hungry Caterpillar Peggy Rathmann, Ten Minutes Till Bedtime Maurice Sendak, Where the Wild Things Are Richard Wilbur, The Disappearing Alphabet Dr. Seuss, On Beyond Zebra! Miguel Cervantes, Don Quixote Charlotte Lenox, The Female Quixote  Recallable Books: what else should I read if I enjoyed this episode? (Leah) Francis Spufford, The Child that Books Built: A Life in Reading (Elizabeth) E. Nesbit The Railway Children: not to mention The Phoenix and the Carpet and Five Children and It (John) Wanda Gag, Millions of Cats: it's The Road for cats… John also wrote a children's book, back when his kids were tiny: Time and the Tapestry: A William Morris Adventure Learn more about your ad choices.
