What's the real difference between a reason and an excuse? One explains why something happened, while the other simply explains away responsibility. This distinction sits at the heart of today's deeply personal examination of our spiritual priorities and family commitments.We all claim we "don't have time" for what matters most—reading Scripture, praying meaningfully, connecting with our spouse—yet somehow find hours for scrolling, streaming, and sports. The uncomfortable truth is that most of our "can't" statements would be more honestly phrased as "won't." When was the last time you truthfully assessed your priorities? Are the people who matter most to you actually experiencing your focused time and attention?The episode delves into 1 Peter 2, exploring how Christians are called to be "living stones" who maintain excellent behavior even when suffering. Hypocrisy—presenting one face in public while living differently in private—remains one of the greatest obstacles preventing non-believers from embracing faith. Our actions must authentically reflect our professed values.Fascinatingly, we also journey through America's forgotten Christian foundations via the 1892 Supreme Court case Holy Trinity Church v. United States. Justice Brewer's opinion methodically documents how state constitutions explicitly acknowledged God and established religious obligations. Massachusetts' Constitution of 1780 even declared it both "the right and duty" of citizens to worship God publicly. These historical facts powerfully counter modern narratives suggesting America was founded as a secular nation.As Patrick Henry wisely advised, each of us has a "sphere of influence" where we can practice virtue and encourage it in others. What might change if you began using your sphere intentionally today? Join our growing community of listeners committed to personal renewal and spiritual restoration. Your feedback and prayers continue to shape this journey we're on together.Support the showThe American Soul Podcasthttps://www.buzzsprout.com/1791934/subscribe

Soccer has a unique power to unite people across boundaries, but two significant challenges threaten this unity: the pressure adults put on young players and the barriers women face as fans. This special Stoppage Time edition of Pitch to Pro explores these crucial conversations through highlights from Part 1 of our conversation with Her Game Too.When it comes to youth soccer, Jenn and Natasha share a critical insight: we're failing our youngest players by prioritizing winning over enjoyment. "Starting them young to fall in love with the game is where we're lacking," notes Jenn, highlighting how the pressure to perform steals joy from three-year-olds who should be discovering soccer through play. Parents and coaches often unwittingly sabotage children's relationship with sports by imposing adult expectations. The solution? Support their exploration, protect their enthusiasm, and help them find what they genuinely love about the game.The episode also illuminates the powerful story behind Her Game Too, a movement fighting sexism in soccer culture. What began with a group of UK women tired of hearing "get back in the kitchen" at matches quickly went viral, revealing a widespread problem. Fascinatingly, the movement's expansion to America uncovered cultural differences in how sexism manifests – British women face explicit verbal harassment, while American women encounter surprised reactions to their knowledge and unwanted touching in sports bars. Despite the prominence of women's soccer in America, female fans still struggle for acceptance, challenging perceptions that the US had moved beyond these issues.Through personal stories of bringing Her Game Too across the Atlantic, we witness how grassroots movements can create meaningful change when ordinary fans step into leadership roles they never imagined for themselves. Whether you're a parent, coach, or fan concerned about soccer's future, these conversations provide valuable perspective on making the beautiful game truly accessible to everyone. Subscribe, share your experiences, and join us in building a more inclusive soccer community.

Throughout the history of ufology, researchers have been attempting to make sense of both the technology and the nature of the intelligences behind the anomalous phenomena that have been observed and interacted with. Inevitably, those researchers have ended up looking to emerging human science and technology for potential understanding. And so, not surprisingly, leading conceptions of what the UFO Phenomenon represents have evolved over time as our own technology and models of reality have evolved. The issue with this, however, is that we are often not accounting for how our modern conceptions are tied to the myth-making that human beings inevitably engage in in order to make sense of who we are, and indeed, what this (i.e. reality) is. And in that sense, of course, we are following in the footsteps of our ancestors who did the very same thing. To be alive is to engage in such narrative-framing. Looking backwards, we are often quick to belittle earlier myth-making attempts, accusing our ancestors of being naive, unscientific story-tellers, while simultaneously completely missing the fact that we too weave narratives about reality, also often based on notions we lack solid evidence for.This is why the UFO Phenomenon emerges as the simultaneously intoxicating but confounding and discombobulating matter it is. Fascinatingly—and perhaps tellingly— it often seems to manifest in such a way as to poke holes in our latest myth. And in so-doing, it helps those within the societal structure—those with a keen and discerning eye, that is—to see our collective narrative as such, as myth. Note here that myth doesn't necessarily mean “untrue”, it just refers to a society's collective sense of “the real”. The data arising from these ufological investigations so often confounds our consensus conceptions of reality that it's fair to ask if that may indeed be one of the central purposes of the entire enigma. Before us, of course, were those who framed reality within a theological lens. In going through this very same process, they too ran into the very same conundrum, leading them to, like us, often exclude, ignore or explain away the elements that “didn't play well” with the contemporary myth.How are we to proceed with these considerations in mind? Is it a fool's errand to chase a specter that seems to change its guise just when we think we've pinned it down? Or should we accept that this game of hide and seek involves stretching our very understanding of what's possible? These are the simultaneously mystifying but mesmerizingly captivating matters we'll seek to engage with in this, the 113th episode of the Point of Convergence podcast.

I had the pleasure of meeting Charles Brewer right when he was starting to get interested in becoming a real estate developer. This was after a very successful short career in the dot-com world, as he was a founder of Mindspring. When he exited, he became interested in New Urbanism, and decided to shift his career toward the building of new, walkable communities.Twenty-plus years later, we get a chance to talk about his journey. And, we get to spend a lot of time discussing Las Catalinas, his remarkable new town on the beach in Costa Rica. I wrote some about Las Catalinas, here, after a recent visit.Charles is especially interesting in that he's a firm believer in many of the principles of New Urbanism, but he's also willing to challenge them and all of us who have worked on these communities. His first project, Glenwood Park in Atlanta, is a fantastic infill development by any realistic measure. Fascinatingly, he calls it “mainstream New Urbanism.” For him, the real challenge and next frontier is figuring out how to create car-free (or mostly car-free) communities. Charles in particular has been very motivated by the experience of kids and families, and how to encourage and allow for more freedom of movement and life for them. I'll also just editorialize and say, his projects are a great testimony to the power of an individual's passion to just get things done, and get them done well. Despite what outsiders and critics might think, these projects are very challenging. Part of the reason we have so few examples like them, is that it takes a rare kind of determination to go against virtually every professional silo in the built environment. Someone used to call this “stick-to-it-ive-ness.” It's a quality I greatly admire in people, and I hope you do as well.Find more content on The Messy City on Kevin's Substack page.Music notes: all songs by low standards, ca. 2010.

Throughout the course of this podcast we've been weaving together topics often discussed in isolation; topics including UFOs, psychic phenomena, and near-death experiences, among others. Research into these topics not only shows that they overlap–in terms of who experiences them and how they are changed as a result–but they also all point to a particular kind of reality-scape: one composed of, for lack of a better term, Mind; mind expressed both individually and collectively, and everywhere in between. Fascinatingly–and consequentially–these mindforms seem to interpenetrate, with porous boundaries that allow us both a temporary and meaningful sense of individuality, while also affording us the ability to tune into each other, and to the various non-human beings all around us, as well as into the very fabric of multidimensional reality itself, which is yet again a matter of mind; a mindscape, if you will. While the data around these matters are overwhelming, old habits tend to die hard. Which is to say, even within ufology there has been a longstanding tendency to push the so-called “woo” aspects of the Phenomenon to the fringes; often leaving those who've actually had the experiences with the Phenomenon to discuss these anomalous events amongst themselves, while the “nuts ‘n boltsers” carry on discussing the supposed craft and the beings arriving from Alpha Centauri. Part of the reasoning for the more nuts ‘n bolts crowd, of course, arises from a desire to see this topic make more of a dent in the mainstream, by forcing the government to come clean about what it knows about these otherworldly matters and the programs it has stood up to investigate such them. Needless to say, things for those folks have taken a bit of a left turn of late, because the details arising from those very government programs are suggesting the so-called “woo” is right at the heart of this entire matter. Recent whistleblowers like Jacob Barber have emerged to not only confirm that the government, along with various defense contractors, haw been engaged in historic UFO recovery programs, but also that human beings seem to be able to both contact and even “summon” these vehicles through the power of mental intention alone. And so here we are yet again, at the intersection of Mind and Mind. Mind that allows for effortless interspecies communication, and mind to call and control the anomalous craft. To say this is a shock to the system for modern Western civilization is an understatement of enormous proportions. After all, many Westerners still orient around the notion that mind is nothing more than a temporary epiphenomenon of material stuff. And yet, the point of convergence we've been exploring the last few years on this podcast suggests that model of reality is fully upside-down; having missed the forest for the proverbial trees. This has major implications in a whole host of ways. But perhaps one of the most striking involves the fact that various non-human intelligences can - and indeed have been - interacting with humanity all along; sometimes in direct ways, and sometimes through mental influence alone. And considering the evidence arising suggests that while some of these intelligences have our best interests at heart, others do not, this ignorance on the part of modern society is highly consequential. Furthermore, this process of distracting us away from the true nature of things - perhaps willfully imposed by both human and non-human forces - has not only made us easily manipulable, but it's also kept us in the dark as to our true potential; a potential, again, that goes to the very heart of our true nature, and to the heart of reality itself. These are the pivotal matters that we'll seek to explore in this, the 112th episode of the Point of Convergence podcast.

MILK…despite the fact that 6 billion people on the planet drink it and we have been for 10,00 years, most of us rarely give it a moments thought. Todays conversation with Matthew Evans takes us swimming in vats of the stuff.Milk looms large in our culture and it's complex, layered, nutritionally interesting and culturally rich. Milk doesn't just feed us - it affects the very way our DNA behaves, feeds your microbiome, speaks to brain health, beneficial to heart health. Fascinatingly, there's a two way communication between a mother and her baby which is passed through the milk.Far from innocuous milk is in fact an extraordinarily complex social, political, ethical, environmental, scientific and fashionable elixir.

This year we are launching a new strand of the podcast on eyewitness testimony, in which we bring you the most extraordinary primary sources – history as told and written by the people who were actually there.Today we start with one of the most atmospheric of all maritime sources, one that transports you directly back to the creaky decks of the age of sail – you can smell the tar in the rigging – you can almost taste the rum.This excerpt on Captain Avery comes from A General History of the Robberies and Murders of the Most Notorious Pyrates, which was published in 1724, exactly 300 years ago. It was a fascinating time in the publishing industry: a market in criminal biography already existed and the author of this book, Charles Johnson, hopped on board to bring to the world for the first time the adventures and crimes of pirates.Fascinatingly, we don't have any idea who Johnson actually was. Many thousands of words have been written and suggestions made including that he was actually Daniel Defoe. What is certain is that whoever wrote the book knew his – or her – stuff. The account is brimming with detail and accuracy. The author undoubtedly spoke with people who had sailed with these pirates and knew their world intimately. And the year 1724, when this was published was the very peak of what became known as the 'Golden Age of Piracy'.The book became hugely famous and public interest in pirates can be traced in a direct line right up to the twentieth century classics we know so well, such as Treasure Island, Peter Pan and Pirates of the Caribbean.This particular chapter introduces Captain Avery, one of the worst of the worst. Born in the summer of 1659 he mysteriously disappeared in 1696 after an extraordinary life for which he was known by his contemporaries as 'The King of the Pirates.' Hosted on Acast.

Recorded Live at the Anime Station store in Little Tokyo, Los Angeles on July 13, 2024, rapper Denzel Curry talks with UC Irvine cultural anthropologist Dr. Mimi Ito about his relationship to anime and anime culture in Japan and abroad. We discuss Mimi's research that tracked how manga and anime grew from just a Japanese export to a global phenomenon. Fascinatingly, anime spread through the promotion of fan groups of American ex-pats that would trade anime and create subtitles for the American audience. After decades of promo provided by this “fan subbing” and AMV (anime music video) conventions, the media industry caught on and now distributes anime across multiple platforms. Denzel does a deep dive into his favorite anime programs and traces how he was first introduced as a child in Florida and was later inspired to incorporate it into his music and fashion.

1974 was a landmark year for film, a convergence of exciting international cinema and the original voices of New Hollywood that still resonates 50 years later. In our new series we invite a different guest for each episode to choose a 1974 movie to talk about, ranging from giant blockbusters to minor cult curios and everything else in between. For William Mendoza of the Men on Film Podcast, 1974 is marked by the rise of Paul Morrissey from Warhol Factory's house filmmaker to international sexploitation auteur. Filmed in unison with his FLESH FOR FRANKENSTEIN, Morrissey's broad Stoker adaptation BLOOD FOR DRACULA casts Udo Kier as the sulky, shirtless count lurking around an Italian estate, hoping to seduce "wirgins" and consume their pure fluid in order to revitalize his strength. He's impeded by Joe Dallsandro playing a Marxist handyman and famed Italian Neorealist filmmaker Vittorio de Sica who's doing...something. Mendoza loves this movie even though he admits it's a "failure of Italian exploitation," "too artsy to be a horror movie, too stupid to be an art movie." Fascinatingly the whole thing plays out like a classic dirty joke or an 80's sex comedy. There's still plenty to love, and we have a great time breaking down the Morrissey magic which stems from good filmmaking collaborators and a plentiful cast of weirdos to exploit. It's a goofball discussion, with more than a little off-roading.

We explore psychologically healthy conversations and the depth of interconnectedness between purpose and action. Our guest's "Eye of Power" model delves into the quadrants of our psyche, shedding light on fears that may hold us back. Fascinatingly, it's not just about being fearless; it's about taking the step despite the fear. How often do we find ourselves trapped by our own doubts? It's time we navigate these hidden aspects to move forward.

Lag Ba'omer is observed as the “Hilula” of Rabbi Shimon Bar Yohai, following the view that this marks the day of his passing. Already the Arizal (Rav Yishak Luria, 1534-1572) noted the custom to visit Rabbi Shimon's grave on Mount Meron in northern Israel on this day. The concept underlying the observance of a “Hilula” is that we draw from the Kedusha (sanctity) of the Sadik. A “Hilula” offers us the precious opportunity to receive at least some of the spiritual greatness of the giant whose memory and whose soul we seek to connect to and bond with. On Lag Ba'omer, we try to connect to Rabbi Shimon Bar Yohai in order to absorb some element of his unique, outstanding qualities. It behooves us, then, to learn some of what Rabbi Shimon stands for, the particular Middot (characteristics) that he embodied, so we can gain inspiration and develop these qualities within ourselves. The Gemara in Masechet Berachot (35b) famously brings Rabbi Shimon's view that one should devote himself entirely to Torah learning, and rely on G-d to provide his needs. This is in contrast to the opinion of Rabbi Yishmael, that the proper approach is “Hanheg Bahem Middat Derech Eretz” – to live normally, to work for a living, while of course setting aside significant amounts of time for Torah study. The Gemara concludes its discussion by noting, “Many acted in accordance with Rabbi Shimon Bar Yohai, and did not succeed.” Meaning, for the vast majority of people, Rabbi Shimon's approach is not appropriate; devoting oneself exclusively to Torah, without pursuing a livelihood, requires an exalted level of Bitahon – trust in Hashem – that most people never achieve. Rabbi Shimon's view is not rejected, but rather applicable only to the spiritual elite, to those select individuals with wholehearted, genuine faith in Hashem's ability to provide. It was this quality of Rabbi Shimon that enabled him to live with his son for thirteen years in a cave, without any food or water. As the Gemara famously tells (Shabbat 33b), Rabbi Shimon fled from the Roman authorities with his son, and they hid inside a cave, where they were miraculously sustained by a carob tree and brook of water. This was Rabbi Shimon's outstanding quality – absolute faith in Hashem's ability to provide, the keen awareness that our sustenance depends solely on G-d, and not on our hard work and efforts. Accordingly, Lag Ba'omer is an occasion for us to draw from Rabbi Shimon's lofty levels of Bitahon. Of course, as mentioned, Rabbi Shimon's practical prescription for life is not suitable for the vast majority of us. Nevertheless, we can - and must - strive to heighten our trust in Hashem, our firm belief that Hashem provides us with our needs, irrespective of the work we invest. Although we are to meet our obligation of Hishtadlut (effort) by working for a living, we must recognize that the outcome depends solely on G-d, and that He is always caring for us. Fascinatingly enough, this aspect of Lag Ba'omer actually predates Rabbi Shimon, by many generations. The Hatam Sofer (Rav Moshe Sofer of Pressburg, 1762-1839) writes that it was on Lag Ba'omer when the manna fell for the very first time. Beneh Yisrael left Egypt on the 15 th of Nissan, the first day of Pesach, bringing with them a month's worth of food provisions. These provisions were depleted in the middle of the next month, Iyar, and several days later, on the 18 th of Iyar – Lag Ba'omer – G-d responded to the people's cries by providing them with manna. Quite appropriately, then, Lag Ba'omer is also the day when we remember, honor, and connect with the figure of Rabbi Shimon Bar Yohai, the bastion of Bitahon, who lived with a keen awareness of how all our food is “manna,” that it is Hashem who gives us everything we need. So much of the anxiety and stress that people live with can be alleviated through Bitahon, by firmly believing in Hashem's infinite capabilities to provide us, and in His boundless love for us. People worry and fret over their finances because they wrongly assume that they know what needs to happen for their Parnasa (livelihood) to arrive. They think that their Parnasa depends on this job, on that client, that customer, that deal, or that promotion. Once we realize that everything we have is manna, coming to us directly from Hashem, we would no longer worry about any of this. Certainly, we must live responsibly and do our Hishtadlut as required. But once we do, we can put all our worries and concerns to rest, because Hashem is caring for us, often in ways that we never imagined and could never have imagined. His abilities are unlimited, so we never have any reason to worry. Let us take advantage of Lag Ba'omer, this special day of Bitahon, to draw from the great faith of Rabbi Shimon, so we can live with the peace of mind and serenity that we desire.

The HBS hosts cross-examine the courts. Former President Trump is currently dividing his time between the campaign trail and the courtroom. Some Americans are outraged by what they view to be targeted prosecutions by biased and overzealous District Attorneys, while others view the same events as a lifelong con man getting his just deserts. Fascinatingly, both sides seem to be putting a lot of faith in the courts to "save democracy."In this brief MINIBAR episode, we chat about the limits of the courts and  what is gained (or lost) by relying on them so heavily to save us.NOTE: This will be our last MINIBAR episode between seasons.

E69 The Fifth Court with Mark Tottenham BL and Peter Leonard BLLiam Herrick, Executive Director of the Irish Council of Civil Liberties talks about the so-called 'Hate Speech' legislation and how difficult it can be to prosecute and enforce such laws. It's a very timely interview about some of the many complexities that could arise from such legislation, but also about the reasons that the legislation may be needed in the first place.Liam also discusses his three years working as general adviser to Uachtarán na hÉireann, Michael D Higgins. Fascinatingly he asserts that the media and others are incorrect when they query whether the President's 'words' have been cleared by the Government. He says that such permission is simply not necessary and may be 'imagined by the commentariat'. He calls it an 'incredible misconception'. He also talks about when the President visited the UK.And, as usual, our interlocutors discuss three recent cases drawn from the Decisis casebook including;+ A challenge to a planning permission given to a windfarm. Judge Egan decided that the windfarm was too noisy.+ A 'delay' case where little or nothing had proceeded in this case since 2009 but was in front of the courts again in 2023.+ A case where a family in a 'Witness Protection Programme' were seeking new marriage certificates and birth certificates to confirm the family's new identity. However, it seems it's not that straightforward to get a new identity, and legislation may be needed.As always, essential listening for practitioners, students and the curious public.With thanks to Clio Legal Software Hosted on Acast.

Dr. George Bonanno (Columbia University) is a preeminent researcher of loss, trauma, and the emotions associated with these experiences. He's made it his life's work to explore why some individuals experience trauma while others do not, revealing a surprising resilience in human nature. His research shows that many people can maintain high functioning even after significant loss or trauma. This raises an intriguing question: why is this so, especially in a world where the term "trauma" is often used loosely? While it's true that some suffer from psychological impairments linked to posttraumatic stress disorder, Dr. Bonanno's research queries also prompt us to reconsider our understanding of what constitutes a "traumatic" experience, broadening our perspective on human coping mechanisms. For those who experience such resiliency, what cognitive or coping techniques are they employing? Fascinatingly, Dr. Bonanno reveals that those who exhibit more resiliency than others employ a technique of cognitive and emotional flexibility in coping with said adversity. He takes us through expressive flexibility and emotion regulation flexibility's role in all of this, including many other compelling strategies. He also provides glimpse into his lab's work, where he spends a great amount of work investigating veteran's transition to civilian life in order to study these different flexibility techniques. Curious about how groundhogs contribute to our understanding of cognitive flexibility? You'll find these answers and more during my conversation with Dr. Bonanno in this episode.

I know, I know... Human Design?What could a system that reads more like an astrological birth chart mixed with the I Ching and Chakras have to do with our sexuality or relationships?It's a fair question, and one I had, too. But today's guest, Cara Dempsey, shares about how learning Human Design (and especially understanding what her "Sacral Inner Authority" meant) completely transformed her relationship with not only her wombspace, but also her menstrual cycle and her libido. Well, cycle awareness practices had something to do with it, too.The truth is, she lost most of her sexual desire postpartum, she was living a life oriented to hustle and productivity and her body was feeling the consequences, and she needed help. Fascinatingly, her deep dive into understanding her energetic patterns through both Human Design and cycle awareness helped her to listen to her body in ways she never had before, and begin to accept parts of herself she previously thought of as weaknesses. And as it turns out, Human Design really does have a lot to say about how we may relate to our own sexuality, how we cultivate boundaries (sexually, in relationships, etc), and overall how we listen to our own selves. Whether or not you decide to explore it further, consider this an opportunity to reflect on archetypal energies - the inner authorities and energy centers especially - and how those may inform your growth into more of who you really are - beyond what society tell us we should be. Listen in to learn:what Human Design is and where it originated fromhow Cara's health transformed through learning Human Design + cycle awarenesswhat the inner authorities are and the 6 typeshow learning your inner authority can support healthy boundariesa deep dive into the sacral and root energy centers and what it means if they are "defined" or "undefined"how Human Design can support your relationships and authentic sexual expressionResources:Today's shownotes: Get a link to find your Human Design chart + Cara's HD decoder guideEpisode 69: Cyclical archetypes w Em DeweyEpisode 73: Cyclical movement w Tara Lynn SteeleEpisode 78: Your cycle superpowers Episode 80: Cultivating receptovityGet on the Natural Contraception course (Jan 2024) waitlist here!

The woke progressive left-wing cultural forces have spent decades trying to cancel Christmas.  First, they went after the religious aspects of the holiday – stripping it of meaning and watering down the religious significance of the birth of Christ. Then they went after Christmas itself, cancelling tree lighting ceremonies and claiming it's somehow offensive to say “Merry Christmas.” 2023 marks a new low for attacks on Christmas, as a report from a Canadian government agency declared that Christmas promotes “religious intolerance” and represents “our identity as a settler colonial state.” Fascinatingly, the same forces that are trying to kill Christmas now have their sights set on another holiday – the Jewish holiday of Hanukkah.  It's taken them 50+ years to demonize and destroy Christmas, and only one year to do the same to Hannukah.  On today's episode of the Candice Malcolm Show, Candice breaks down the war against Christmas and how it's now also a war against Hanukkah.  Later in the program, she is joined by True North journalist Andrew Lawton to discuss this phenomenon, the academic roots of this philosophy, and how Jews are fighting back against this woke nonsense.  Learn more about your ad choices.

In the third episode of our Global Policing series, Elizabeth and John spoke back in 2020 with anthropologist Laurence Ralph about The Torture Letters: Reckoning with Police Violence (U Chicago Press, 2020). The book relates the decades-long history in which hundreds of people (mostly Black men) were tortured by the Chicago Police.

Elizabeth and John ask Laurence about that genre choice, and he unpacks his thinking about responsibility, witnessing, trauma and channels of activism. Arendt's “banality of evil” briefly surfaces.

Dem boyz are back this week and are traveling back to the 80s to drop the needle on 'Born in the USA' by Bruce Springsteen. His most popular achievement, which threw off seven Top Ten hits and became one of the best-selling albums of all time. It has been certified 17× Platinum by the RIAA, having sold over 17 million units in the United States, and over 30 million copies worldwide. Born in the U.S.A. topped the charts in nine different countries, including the United Kingdom and Australia, becoming his most commercially successful album and one of the best-selling albums of all time. It is a pristine and precise record whose synth pads, massive drums, and front-and-center vocals represent the defining qualities of the 80s mainstream rock production.With strikingly somatic sounds, the music and melodies begin to feel alive. Most of the songs were recorded live by the band in just a few takes, with Springsteen shouting cues and can be heard whooping and hollering off mic. Fascinatingly, Born in the U.S.A. did become a pivotal moment in Springsteen's career, but perhaps not in the way he may have wanted: he arguably didn't make another good album until The Ghost of Tom Joad 10 years later, another mostly acoustic project, and then not for another eight years until The Rising in 2002. The records in this middle period found Springsteen slowly drowning into the pop sound he had pioneered on Born in the U.S.A., often creating cloying and forgettable works. Born in the U.S.A. is not just Bruce Springsteen's biggest-selling LP, but one of the most popular recordings ever released. The anthemic title track is a song so intrinsically woven into American culture that most BBQ's and get-togethers still jam it to this day and are likely to be passed down from generation to generation for as long as BBQ's and get-togethers exist.

So, you think you're making good decisions, but are you really? And, what about the hidden scripts and noisy inputs that affect nearly every decision you make, without you being aware of any of it? How do we make better decisions?Today's guest can help. Daniel Kahneman is one of the most influential psychologists and thinkers in modern history, his ideas have literally changed the way we live, work, relate, see the world, make decisions, and build solutions, organizations, industries, societies, and lives. Best known for his remarkable work with Amos Tversky, which explores how we reason and make decisions, his research was, in no small way, seminal in the creation of the field of behavioral economics. He's been awarded the Nobel Prize, as well as the Presidential Medal of Freedom. His New York Times best-selling book, Thinking, Fast and Slow, has sold more than seven million copies worldwide. And his most recent book, Noise: A Flaw in Human Judgment, explores how unrecognized, systemic influences affect our decisions in ways, both rational and not, that remain completely hidden to us and often lead to profound unfairness and inequality. We talk about key ideas from his research spanning more than 6 decades. But, we also dive deep into the life experiences that shaped him. Fascinatingly, Kahmeman's curiosity about humans and all our complexities was sparked as a young Jew living with his family in Nazi-occupied France during World War II, and running for years, before fleeing. His sometimes harrowing experiences triggered questions and curiosities that powerfully influenced what would become a lifelong devotion to understand why we do the things we do.We explore those early experiences, and he shares where some of the seeds were first planted that would later grow into the body of research and work that have changed the world.

Who is God? What is He like? Can we have a relationship with Him? If so, how? How do we become godly men, husbands, and fathers? How can we find work that satisfies and honors God? What does God want us to do? What do we tell others? The process of answering these questions is what we call “disciple making.” If not for the Bible, we'd be left to guess at the answers. Fascinatingly, Paul conflates the entire disciple-making process into just four verses! Join Patrick Morley as we start looking at Paul's final words to his spiritual son, Timothy. --------------------- Find more information, transcripts, Bible studies near you, and more at http://mimbiblestudy.com​ Help us to continue this vital ministry by partnering with us: http://mimbiblestudy.com/give​ Learn more about Man in the Mirror at http://maninthemirror.org

Writer, director, and star of the hit film Poolhall Junkies, Mars Callahan is currently in pre production for the movie's sequel, Poker Junkies. Inspired by the sweeping popularity of Texas Hold'em tournaments and the ever growing World Series of Poker, held in Las Vegas each year, Mars Callahan tells the story of an unknown card player who wants to take on the biggest names in the poker world. Struggling to raise the WSOP tournament buy-in fee of $10,000, Mars Callahan's characters are taken on a tour of high stakes games from the top clubs to the back room. True to a long tradition of directors assuming small roles in their own films, Mars Callahan has appeared in each of his movies. While he starred in Poolhall Junkies, he originally intended to play the role of Joe, the younger brother. However, after a long delay, Callahan felt he no longer fit the younger brother role, and assumed the lead role of Johnny. Fascinatingly, no special effects were included in the filming of Poolhall Junkies, as Mars Callahan is a pool enthusiast and longtime player. For Poker Junkies, Callahan again wrote about a beloved hobby of his. To write a better script and accurately portray the poker world, Mars Callahan recently entered the World Series of Poker Tournament, placing 94th out of thousands of players.   In this episode, Mars and Brad discuss Mars' story, evolution, his film career, and how his childhood became a reality from then to now.    00:00 Intro 01:24 Mars' background and family 06:14 “I wanna do the thing that makes my Mom smile.” - Mars Callahan 13:00 The value films bring to Mars 17:25 The craft of writing 19:10 Christopher Walken 20:34 When someone 30 years in the movie industry endorses you 22:00 Manifestation 30:00 Jazz and filmmaking 34:40 “The act of searching kept me alive.” - Mars Callahan 40:20 Loving people who may have done something terrible.
