Where is God present—and how do believers describe it? In this thoughtful and poetic episode, Polish theologian Dr. Elżbieta Łazarewicz-Wyrzykowska joins Dru Johnson to reflect on theology, trauma, and spiritual presence. From her childhood in Warsaw—where bullet holes and tanks marked the legacy of war—to her academic path through Hebrew Bible, literary theory, and empirical psychology, Elżbieta has never stopped asking difficult questions. They discuss her research into the Book of Amos using the philosophical insights of Mikhail Bakhtin, seeing God as the “author” of Israel and disobedience as a form of anti-creation. They also explore her current interdisciplinary work in the psychology of religion: “We tried to measure where people locate God's presence. Eucharist was the one thing people named first.” She reflects on the tension between empirical categories and theological meaning: “God is present in special objects” didn't resonate. But “God is present in the Eucharist”? That made sense. “I still wanted to be faithful to what the community told me.” This episode is a masterclass in humility, scholarship, and the quiet brilliance of a scholar working at the intersection of Scripture, philosophy, trauma, and pastoral care.

What if your concrete mix could cut a data center's power bill by 15%? In this episode of the Concrete Logic Podcast, host Seth Tandett talks with Frank Stankunas Sr., Frank Stankunas Jr., and James Cordeiro from Silverback Concrete about a concept most engineers haven't thought about—thermal resistivity in concrete. They explain how low rho concrete helps data centers shed heat faster, take pressure off the grid, and extend the life of buried electrical infrastructure. You'll hear how they're testing mixes that hit rho values in the 20s, why quality control is everything, and why engineers need to stop “copying and pasting” specs from old jobs. By the end, you'll see why thermal resistivity may be the next big efficiency play in the world's fastest-growing utility - data. What You'll Learn • What thermal resistivity (rho) actually measures in concrete. • How low rho concrete reduces power bills and protects the grid. • Why inconsistent mixes can cause “thermal runaway” in cables. • How soil type and aggregate selection affect heat dissipation. • What testing and verification look like for low rho concrete. • Why some engineers are still unaware of rho's importance. • How Silverback's “Game Changer” mix is redefining performance. • What collaboration between engineers and contractors could unlock next.
