Dejan Djokić's book A Concise History of Serbia (Cambridge UP, 2023) covers the full span of Serbia's history – from the sixth-century Slav migrations through until the present day – in an effort to understand the country's position at the crossroads of east and west. The book traces key developments surrounding the medieval and modern polities associated with Serbs, offering fresh interpretations and revealing a fascinating history of entanglements and communication between southeastern and wider Europe, which often had global implications. In structuring his inquiry around several recurring themes including migration, shifting borders, and the fate of small nations, Djokic challenges some of the prevailing stereotypes about Serbia and reveals the vitality of Serbian identity through the centuries. Dejan Djokić is Professor of Modern and Contemporary History and Founding Director of the Centre for the Study of the Balkans at Goldsmiths College, University of London. In June 2023, he will join the National University of Ireland, Maynooth, as Professor of History. Djokic's research brings together three main strands of inquiry: the Yugoslav war; the global and cultural history of the Cold War; and the history of Southeastern Europe since the Middle Ages. His publications include Nikola Pašić and Ante Trumbić: The Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes (2010) and Elusive Compromise: A History of Interwar Yugoslavia (2007), as well as contributions to numerous edited volumes, including New Perspectives on Yugoslavia: Key Issues and Controversies (2011). Iva Glisic is a historian and art historian specialising in modern Russia and the Balkans. Learn more about your ad choices.

In this episode, Julia brings together ten women from across the world who each share one word from their own language that sits at the heart of how they lead. Each woman offers her word as a gift: a word that captures how she leads, shaped by where she comes from and what she has lived. As each woman explains why she chose her word, we begin to see how language shapes leading and how it influences the way trust is built, care is expressed, decisions are made, and responsibility is carried. Taken together, the words reveal a wide spectrum of how women lead: with love, joy, service, curiosity, humility, humanity, empathy, trust, integrity, and wisdom. This episode is a reminder that leading is deeply personal and that sometimes, the words we lead with say more than any framework ever could.

Lee Strobel is an American Christian author, apologist, speaker, and former investigative journalist who transitioned from an atheist investigative journalist into a leading Christian apologist and author, blending rigorous investigative methods with his faith journey to influence millions worldwide. Born in Arlington Heights, Illinois, Strobel earned a Bachelor of Journalism degree from the University of Missouri and a Master of Studies in Law degree from Yale Law School; growing up in a nominally Christian but non-practicing household, he became a committed atheist who viewed Christianity as irrational until 1979, when his wife Leslie's conversion prompted a nearly two-year personal investigation into the historical evidence for Jesus. On November 8, 1981, at age 29, Strobel became a Christian, an experience he describes as “falling in love with Jesus” while interviewing scholars and examining ancient manuscripts. A 14-year veteran of The Chicago Tribune where he served as award-winning legal editor, Strobel earned Illinois' highest honors for investigative reporting and public service journalism from United Press International before pivoting full-time to Christian apologetics. He is a New York Times bestselling author of over 40 books and curricula—including the seminal The Case for Christ (1998), which has sold over 5 million copies—with total sales exceeding 18 million copies translated into 40 languages. His “Case for…” series, along with titles like The Case for Faith, The Case for Miracles, and The Case for Heaven, applies courtroom-style evidence to core doctrines. Strobel, currently serves as Founding Director of the Lee Strobel Center for Evangelism and Applied Apologetics at Colorado Christian University. He is described by The Washington Post as “one of the evangelical community's most popular apologists,” he has received multiple Gold Medallion Awards and the 2023 Pillar Award for History from the Museum of the Bible. Married to Leslie since 1973, Strobel is father to daughter Alison (novelist and homeschooling expert) and son Kyle (professor of spiritual theology at Biola University's Talbot School of Theology), and he continues to equip believers worldwide with intellectual tools to defend and share their faith effectively.

Is traditional American religion doomed?Traditional religion in the United States has suffered huge losses in recent decades. The number of Americans identifying as "not religious" has increased remarkably. Religious affiliation, service attendance, and belief in God have declined. More and more people claim to be "spiritual but not religious." Religious organizations have been reeling from revelations of sexual and financial scandals and cover-ups. Public trust in "organized religion" has declined significantly. Crucially, these religious losses are concentrated among younger generations. This means that, barring unlikely religious revivals among youth, the losses will continue and accelerate in time, as less-religious younger Americans replace older more-religious ones and increasingly fewer American children are raised by religious parents. All this is clear. But what is less clear is exactly why this is happening. We know a lot more about the fact that traditional American religion has declined than we do about why this is so.Why Religion Went Obsolete: The Demise of Traditional Faith in America (Oxford UP, 2025) aims to change that. Drawing on survey data and hundreds of interviews, Christian Smith offers a sweeping, multifaceted account of why many Americans have lost faith in traditional religion. An array of large-scale social forces-everything from the end of the Cold War to the rise of the internet to shifting ideas about gender and sexuality-came together to render traditional religion culturally obsolete. For growing numbers of Americans, traditional religion no longer seems useful or relevant. Using quantitative empirical measures of big-picture changes over time as well as exploring the larger cultural environment—the cultural "zeitgeist"—Smith explains why this is the case and what it means for the future. Crucially, he argues, it does not mean a strictly secular future. Rather, Americans' spiritual impulses are being channelled in new and interesting directions. Christian Smith is the William R. Kenan, Jr. Professor of Sociology and Founding Director of the Center for the Study of Religion and Society at the University of Notre Dame. Smith is well known for his research focused on religion, adolescents and emerging adults, and social theory. He has written many books, including Divided by Faith: Evangelical Religion and the Problem of Race in America (with Michael O. Emerson), as well as Soul Searching: The Religious and Spiritual Lives of American Teenagers (with Melinda Lundquist Denton). Morteza Hajizadeh is a Ph.D. graduate in English from the University of Auckland in New Zealand. His research interests are Cultural Studies; Critical Theory; Environmental History; Medieval (Intellectual) History; Gothic Studies; 18th and 19th Century British Literature.

In this episode of Conversations with Christians Engaged, host Ben Quine continues our FPA: Building a Movement series with a powerful and timely discussion on the biblical relationship between the church and government. Joined by Greg Baker, Founding Director of the Church Ambassador Network, and Brian Allen, Director of Operations, Ben explores what Scripture teaches about God's design for family, church, and government — and how believers can faithfully navigate these institutions today. Rooted in Romans 13:1, this conversation introduces the Shepherd to Shepherd model, which connects pastors and government leaders as fellow servants under the authority of Christ. Greg and Brian share how relational ministry, prayer, and biblical truth are transforming hearts inside state capitols across the country — not through politics, but through the gospel.Listeners will hear: Why separation of church and state is biblical — and why it matters How pastors can engage government leaders without compromising the church's mission Real-life stories of prayer opening doors for gospel conversations How the Choose Well program equips churches to steward the vote biblically Practical ways everyday Christians can pray, support their pastors, and engage faithfully This episode is a compelling reminder that civic engagement is a mission field — and that God is still at work through faithful presence, humility, and truth.

This episode features a conversation with the inspiring Dr. Veronica House, whose book Local Organic: Food Rhetorics and Community Writing for Impact (Utah State University Press, 2025) explores how writing takes shape within community networks. House brings a generous scholarly voice to questions of writing, community partnership, and meaningful collaboration, and this episode offers a chance to hear how her ideas grew from years of work alongside the people who shaped the project. From Dr. House's faculty bio: Veronica House is Associate Professor of the Practice and Director of the Writing Center at Boston College. She is the author of Local Organic: Food Rhetorics and Community Writing for Impact (2025) and Medea's Chorus: Myth and 20th Century Women's Poetry Since 1950 (2014). Veronica's recent teaching, community work, and scholarship focus on food movements, community-engaged writing, and writing as a force for social change. Veronica is Founding Director of the Conference on Community Writing and Founding Executive Director of the Coalition for Community Writing. She consults with faculty at colleges and universities across the country to design community-engaged courses and programs. Veronica is recipient of Campus Compact's Engaged Scholar Award; University of Colorado's Women Who Make A Difference Award; and numerous teaching awards. She serves as Consulting Editor of the Community Literacy Journal. ABOUT THE BOOK: In Local Organic, Veronica House explores ways to collaboratively build resilient local food systems and coalitions across disciplines and communities. Framed by a study of language, power, and food both nationally and in Boulder, Colorado, the book offers teachers, organizers, activists, and scholars ideas and examples for building interdisciplinary and intercommunity coalitional ecologies through writing in a methodology for engagement that the author calls ecological community writing. Based on more than a decade of research, teaching, writing, and project-building with undergraduate writing students and project partners, House theorizes how work to encourage local community-based writing becomes an ecological thread connecting things, ideas, and people. Local Organic is a book about collaboratively building community-derived definitions for resilient local food systems and how faculty and students can work to ethically partner with local communities using distributed definition building.Local Organic offers writing and rhetoric faculty and graduate students an ecological methodology to produce, teach, and theorize writing to help communities engage with a wide array of social issues and to work toward individual and community-level impacts.

As healthcare systems worldwide face rising costs, workforce shortages, and increasing pressure to balance quality with financial sustainability, traditional classroom-based management education is struggling to keep pace. According to the World Economic Forum, healthcare spending now accounts for nearly 10% of global GDP, making leadership decision-making more consequential—and more complex—than ever. At the same time, educators and executives alike are searching for ways to prepare leaders for real-world uncertainty, not just theoretical case studies.So how do you train healthcare leaders to make better decisions when the stakes are high, the data is imperfect, and the environment is constantly changing?That's the core question explored in the latest episode of I Don't Care, hosted by Dr. Kevin Stevenson, featuring Jeremy Lovelace, Founding Director of HFX Technologies Group. Stevenson and Lovelace dive into how simulation-based healthcare management education is reshaping the way future and current healthcare leaders learn strategy, finance, and human-centered decision-making—across borders, systems, and sectors.Key Takeaways from the Conversation…Simulation over static cases: Dynamic, financially driven simulations provide a more realistic and measurable way to train healthcare decision-makers than traditional case competitions or lectures.Global adaptability: A simulation originally modeled on a leading Brazilian hospital has proven effective across diverse systems, including U.S. health systems, European providers, and the UK's NHS.Human skills under pressure: Beyond financial metrics, simulations reveal leadership gaps in teamwork, stress management, and judgment under uncertainty—often the most powerful learning outcomes.Jeremy Lovelace is the Founding Director of HFX Technologies Group, a firm specializing in simulation-based training for strategic and financial decision-making. With a background in management consulting and decision science, Lovelace has worked extensively with universities, healthcare organizations, and public-sector institutions across Europe, the Americas, and beyond. His work includes partnerships with global business schools such as University College London and simulations inspired by top-tier healthcare institutions like Hospital Israelita Albert Einstein in Brazil. Lovelace holds an MBA and brings decades of experience in leadership development, education technology, and applied strategy.

In this episode, Dean Horswell chats with Susan Schneider, as they discuss her book, Artificial You: AI And The Future of Your Mind and the subject of Alien Intelligence and A.I.Dr. Susan Schneider is a philosopher and cognitive scientist whose work focuses on AI consciousness, the simulation hypothesis, and the future of intelligence. Her recent research spans questions such as whether advanced AI systems could be conscious, what it would mean if we live in a computer simulation, how consciousness relates to quantum mechanics, the emerging “epistemology” of AI chatbots, and how we might understand the nature of alien superintelligence.Dr. Schneider is the Founding Director of The Center for the Future of AI, Mind and Society at Florida Atlantic University. Previously, she served as the NASA–Baruch Blumberg Chair in Astrobiology and Technological Innovation at NASA, held the Distinguished Scholar Chair at the Library of Congress, and was a fellow at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton.Her book, Artificial You: AI and the Future of Your Mind, explores the philosophical implications of artificial intelligence, with a special focus on AI consciousness, mind design, and brain–machine interfaces (BMIs). She argues that the mind is not a ‘program' and that the most intelligent alien life in the cosmos is likely to be superintelligent AI rather than biological beings.Schneider's recent work develops Superpsychism, the view that our spatiotemporal universe may be generated or structured by a massive qubit-based quantum computer, potentially a natural phenomenon rather than an artifact. She recently completed a three-year project with NASA on advanced alien intelligence as AI and serves as an advisor to Prism: the Partnership for Research into Sentient Machines.She is a co-director of the MPCR Lab at FAU's new Gruber Sandbox, a research facility which builds AI systems informed by neuroscience and philosophy of mind.

We then turned to the phone lines to ask our listeners the question, “How has the Word of God prospered you?” We then had Jamie Erickson join us to discuss how overwhelm can be self-inflicted in the lives of women and moms, and how, with God, we can learn to manage that overwhelm. Jamie loves to encourage and equip moms around the world through her Mom to Mom podcast. She is also the Founder of The Unlikely Homeschool, her nationally popular education blog that includes resources and tips. He has also written several books, including “Holy Hygge: Creating a Place for People to Gather and the Gospel to Grow.” We also had Lee Strobel join us to discuss miracles and faith, and then he spoke about his upcoming movie, “The Case for Miracles”, which will be in theaters for a limited time, from December 15-18. Lee is an atheist-turned Christian and the former award-winning legal editor of the Chicago Tribune. He was a journalist for 14 years at the Chicago Tribune and other newspapers. Lee’s spiritual journey was depicted in the 2017 award-winning theatrical motion picture, ‘The Case for Christ.’ He is also the Founding Director for the Lee Strobel Center for Evangelism and Applied Apologetics at Colorado Christian University.

In this episode we discuss a recently released research snapshot titled “Cosmetic Surgery and Body Image Among Utah Women: A 2025 Update.” This snapshot examines how cultural, social, religious, and personal factors influence body image, perceptions of cosmetic surgery and beauty standards in Utah. Using state and national data, the report explores whether Utah's reputation for high rates of elective cosmetic procedures reflects reality or perception. The analysis highlights four areas: beauty standards, cosmetic surgery trends, cultural influences, and efforts to promote positive body image. What do these findings reveal about how these areas influence body image among Utah women, and the efforts underway to promote greater confidence and self-acceptance? We'll explore all of that and more in today's episode. Dr. Susan Madsen, a Professor of Organizational Leadership in the Jon M. Huntsman School of Business at Utah State University and the Founding Director of the Utah Women & Leadership Project and A Bolder Way Forward, is joined by Corinne Clarkson, co-author of the report and a research associate at the Utah Women & Leadership Project.

In this episode, Julia speaks with Isata Kabia, about what it really means to be a trailblazer and why leading doesn't always have to be loud. Isata shares that being a trailblazer often isn't a choice. It happens when you step forward out of necessity, conviction, or courage when you realise, as she puts it, “the hero you've been waiting for is you.” She talks about her journey of learning to lead as a quiet storm: calm yet powerful, nurturing yet unyielding. The “quiet” stands for listening, reflection, and grace. The “storm” stands for courage, disruption, and truth. Together, they form a style of leading that combines humility and strength. This episode is a reminder that trailblazing doesn't always look like breaking walls; sometimes it's about holding doors open quietly, until others can walk through. About the guest: Isata Kabia is the Founding Director of Voice of Women Africa, an organization focused on empowering women in Sierra Leone. She believes in building a strong community of women who support one another and encourages more women to take part in politics. This, she believes, will lead to better decisions that promote peace, prosperity, and rights for everyone. Isata is also behind AFRiLOSOPHY, a program that started in 2015. It offers training in manufacturing and financial management to help women start and grow their own businesses. She understands that when women are economically strong, they can lead and make a real difference in their communities.
