One of the amazing things about reading the lives in the teachings of the desert fathers is that we begin to see that we are part of the body of Christ and among the many who have sought to make the spiritual journey over the centuries.  We aren't Christians in isolation. This means not only that we hold and believe the same truths about the faith that have been revealed to us but also that we seek to embrace in all of its fullness the life and the love of that Christ has made possible for us. We struggle with the same wounds, similar dispositions and mindsets that affect the way that we view the world around us and the way that we practice the faith. The acknowledgment of this communion and the desire to breathe the same air and to travel the same path is a source of great strength for us. Not only are we guided by the teachings of Christ and the gift of His Spirit but also by the many Saints and Martyrs who embody this reality in their lives.  One of the great fruits of this is Hope. The struggle with the poverty of our sin, the sorrow that it brings can leave us feeling alone and isolated. But as we listen to the stories from the Fathers on contrition and how to shape this habit of mind and virtue, it is as if we are taken by the hand and guided toward Christ. The Scriptures tell us that we are to console others as we ourselves have been consoled. The Fathers console us in so many different ways. They do this most simply by presenting us with the truth of our struggle with sin and also the depth of God‘s mercy and compassion. They struggle so hard to prevent us from falling into despondency and give us the healing balm of their wisdom to keep us moving forward - even if we should make a wreck of our life on a daily basis.  On the most beautiful things they teach us in the Evergetinos is that contrition is not about self-contempt so much as it is about self-knowledge; of seeing the truth of the wound of sin and our need for the Divine Physician. What is asked of us is not perfection, but rather to live in a spirit of faith and repentance; with humble hearts to turn to the One who loves us and desires to heal us.  These reasons alone are enough to convince a soul to seek constant nourishment and guidance from the fathers. --- Text of chat during the group: 00:06:27 Bob Čihák, AZ: P. 249, F.

*The music in this video is copyrighted and all rights reserved to the respective copyright holders* Brad Zerbo and Jaytriot return for part two of their rollicking journey through the world of one-hit wonders. This episode blends nostalgia, music trivia, and personal stories as the duo curates a lineup of infectious tracks that left lasting marks despite brief chart lives. From “St. Elmo's Fire” to “Safety Dance,” they explore the unexpected origins of hits, like how a Canadian athlete inspired John Parr, or how “Rapper's Delight” sampled Chic's “Good Times” and led to a copyright showdown. They share anecdotes tied to each song, from high school dances to dance club memories, emphasizing how music becomes a time machine. Expect guilty pleasures, trivia bombs (Ava Gabor samples!), and genre-spawning tracks like “Cannonball” and “Beds Are Burning.” Whether you're into disco, ska, rap, or ‘90s alt-rock, this episode hits all the right notes while giving props to underdog artists and their accidental masterpieces.

As lead painter and art department manager for Willet Studios in Winona, Minnesota, Melissa Janda will speak about Willet's large-scale projects at the upcoming American Glass Guild Conference, being held in Mesa, Arizona, from May 22 – 24, 2025.  With 30 years of experience in the field of stained glass, Janda is adept at all aspects of stained glass production, specializing in glass painting, design and restoration work. From St. Agnes Catholic Church in Key Biscayne, Florida, to St. Jane de Chantal Catholic Church, Bethesda, Maryland, the results are stunning and speak for themselves. Before entering the world of stained glass, Janda received her BFA from the Milwaukee Institute of Art and Design, where she majored in drawing with a minor in illustration. Her professional experience with the craft first began in 1993 when she worked at Conrad Schmitt Studios, New Berlin, Wisconsin. Janda then went on to work at Jaeger Studios before leaving to manage her own studio, Melissa Janda Studios in Chicago, Illinois, and later Milwaukee, Wisconsin, for 10 years while she subcontracted work as a glass painter. During her time in Chicago, the artist also worked for a handful of studios, including Curran Glass Studio, Regina Art Glass, Glass Art and Decorative Studio, Two Fish Art Glass, and others. In 2008, Janda returned to Conrad Schmitt Studios before relocating to Winona, Minnesota, to manage Willet Studios' art department in 2014.  In addition to decades of experience, Janda offers Willet Studios a dedicated spirit to the craft, in which she is constantly striving to learn new techniques through the participation in a multitude of workshops and classes. She has a deep appreciation for the great traditions of stained glass and explains: “I have one foot firmly planted in the rich past, with the other stepping forward into the future of contemporary innovations.”  A close look at Janda's work process and unique methodology was featured in an Artist Profile for NPR. The video interview follow's Janda's process in creating a commissioned stained glass piece of art and features some of her favorite personal pieces.  https://www.pbs.org/video/broad-and-high-artist-profile-melissa-janda-stained-glass

The besties are here! We talk about the history of Santa and take a quiz.The OriginsSanta's story starts with St. Nicholas, a 4th-century Christian bishop from Myra (modern-day Turkey). Known for his generosity to children and the poor, St. Nicholas inspired legends that were passed down through generations.From St. Nicholas to Sinterklaas to SantaThe Dutch brought their version of St. Nicholas, Sinterklaas, to America, where the name morphed into Santa Claus. By the 1800s, Santa began evolving into the figure we recognize today.Modern Santa Takes ShapeIn 1822, Clement Clarke Moore's poem "A Visit from St. Nicholas" (also called "The Night Before Christmas") gave Santa his jolly personality, sleigh, and reindeer.In 1881, political cartoonist Thomas Nast refined Santa's look with the red suit, white beard, and round belly.Santa in Pop CultureThe 1930s Coca-Cola campaigns brought us the cheerful, plump Santa we know today, thanks to illustrator Haddon Sundblom.Features like his North Pole home, magical sleigh, and toy workshop became staples in Christmas traditions.The Magic of BeliefMany children believe in Santa until around ages 6 to 9, when they start questioning the logistics of his journey.Even so, adults keep the tradition alive, spreading the festive spirit to younger generations.Santa's legend has become a global phenomenon, blending history, myth, and marketing into a magical figure who continues to inspire joy each holiday season.All the Clopen links: https://linktr.ee/theclopeneffectAll material, unless otherwise stated, written and performed by The Clopen Effect

Today's bad idea is about how ideas get adopted, argued over and rejected: David talks to political philosopher Alan Finlayson about what's wrong with seeing this as a competitive marketplace. From St. Paul to Citizens United, from John Stuart Mill to Jordan Peterson, what happens when ideas get turned into commodities? Who wins and who loses? And what is an ‘ideological entrepreneur'?
