Elon Musk needs to read GK Chesterton

For the past several years, Steve Kim has been completing his PhD in Scotland. G. K. Chesterton is one of the people Steve has been studying in his doctoral work. In this episode of the AC Podcast, Andy and Steve explore Chesterton's theology of wonder while driving and hiking through the Scottish Highlands.

Do you ever take yourself too seriously when it comes to healing? In this episode, Catholic therapist Adam Cross, LMFT (#116623), explores how humor can be a powerful healing tool in therapy and spiritual growth. Drawing on GK Chesterton's wisdom and the reminder that seriousness is not a fruit of the Holy Spirit, Adam explains why taking ourselves lightly (while not taking sin lightly) creates space for genuine transformation. He unpacks the mystery of suffering, the limits of intellectual understanding, and why childlike levity helps us trust God more deeply in our brokenness. Topics covered: Why humor belongs in the therapeutic process The difference between dismissing pain and laughing through it How taking ourselves lightly reflects childlike trust in God Why suffering is a mystery beyond full comprehension The role of laughter in building trust with your therapist How God's mercy makes our sin "not too special" Healing doesn't always look serious. Sometimes the most profound growth happens when we remember we're children of God and trust that our struggles aren't too much for Him. Have questions?

On Artful Living, we will listen to a little 1944 Radio Drama today on GK Chesterton radio, "A Child is Born", featuring the wonderful Helen Hayes. Join us in celebration of the upcoming Christmas holiday!

"El muerto de la casa del pavo real" (1921), publicado en la colección The Poet and the Lunatics (1929), es un relato detectivesco con un giro filosófico y poético característico de G.K. Chesterton. La historia comienza con un joven provinciano que llega a Londres y es invitado de manera abrupta por un hombre mayor, de apariencia próspera, a una cena en una casa cercana. Tras aceptar, el joven desaparece misteriosamente, lo que desencadena un enigma que desafía las explicaciones convencionales, ya que no hay motivos evidentes como el robo. El misterio es resuelto por Gabriel Gale, un poeta y pintor excéntrico, cuya mente no opera como la de un detective tradicional, sino que encuentra respuestas en la contemplación de objetos aparentemente triviales, como un pavo real en el jardín de la casa. La narrativa se desarrolla en un ambiente de contrastes: la vulgaridad de una casa suburbana frente a la extravagancia de un pavo real, lo que lleva a Gale a descubrir un crimen oculto relacionado con una cena, un espejo roto y un cuchillo de plata. La trama explora temas de percepción, apariencia versus realidad, y la capacidad de la mente poética para desentrañar lo que la lógica convencional no puede."Crónicas Lunares di Sun" es un podcast cultural presentado por Irving Sun, que abarca una variedad de temas, desde la literatura y análisis de libros hasta discusiones sobre actualidad y personajes históricos.

As this podcast lands, it's 75 years to the day since the first 'God slot' on the BBC Light Programme. It was first called Five to Ten, and is now Pause for Thought on BBC Radio 2. Podcast host Paul has been Pausing for Thought for over a decade, with Chris Evans, Zoe Ball and Scott Mills, and was recently asked to present a history of Pause for Thought to a roomful of Pause for Thoughters, the Radio 2 boss, and today's Breakfast Show host Scott Mills. So a version of that is on this episode, with some golden oldie clips, including Ray Moore and Derek Jameson. And even a bit of Steve Wright, because why not. It's a mini-sode ahead of our Christmas special, so we look ahead to that, with a little more info on Paul's upcoming Radio 4 drama about the first radio drama, The Truth About Phyllis Twigg. The companion episode will be next time on the podcast, but for now there's info on where in London you can go to listen to the story version of that original radio drama - ME London, the hotel on the site of Marconi House and the BBC's first studio. You can go this December, and listen to our exclusive recording, by, Paul, Carina Saner (Phyllis' great-granddaughter) and Flora Saner (Phyllis' great-great-granddaughter). ...And if you can't make it to London, we'll play it for you on the next episode.  A little too on our moment-by-moment timeline of British broadcasting - we're in November 1923 and it's GK Chesterton from Manchester, a Welsh talk from Wales, the first radio novel, and some comments in the Radio Times on the benefits of radio opera. (This WAS going to be an episode about the first BBC Armistice broadcast - but with all the above to tell more immediately, I decided to hold back the Armistice episode till the New Year. I know - it's not November - but we have a timeline to follow. In early 2026)   SHOWNOTES: Random Radio Jottings' blog post on Pause for Thought's history - with clips! https://andywalmsley.blogspot.com/2020/04/pause-for-thought.html ME London hotel host our recording of The Truth about Father Christmas, Dec 2025 only!

Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874–1936) é frequentemente celebrado como um dos mais espirituosos defensores do cristianismo tradicional no início do século XX. Sua prosa brilhante, sua teologia paradoxal e sua crítica ao racionalismo moderno conquistaram admiradores de diversas tradições religiosas. Convertido ao catolicismo em 1922, Chesterton tornou-se um apologista fervoroso da fé cristã clássica, da ortodoxia doutrinária e da centralidade da tradição ocidental. No entanto, embora seu zelo religioso e suas críticas ao secularismo ofereçam contribuições importantes ao debate cultural, o pensamento social e eclesiológico de Chesterton também traz perigos específicos à fé adventista. Seu apego à tradição e à imaginação como vias primárias para a ordem, sua exaltação do catolicismo romano e seu romantismo histórico sobre a Igreja institucionalizada confrontam aspectos fundamentais da missão profética, da escatologia bíblica e da estrutura representativa da Igreja Adventista do Sétimo Dia. Este episódio busca uma análise crítica e equilibrada. Em cada parte, será destacado tanto o que há de útil no pensamento de Chesterton para a manutenção da ordem na comunidade de fé quanto os riscos que sua teologia tradicionalista e sua visão cultural de Igreja representam para a missão escatológica adventista.

Today we want to begin thinking about Thanksgiving and we want to really center our conversation today around averse in 1 Corinthians.▪ 1 Corinthians 4:7 – For who sees anything different in you? What do you have that you did not receive? Ifthen you received it, why do you boast as if you did not receive it?This verse contains two questions:1. What do you have that you did not receive?2. If then you received it, why do you boast as if you did not receive it?Paul asks this question, but it really is a statement disguised as a question.▪ What is Paul stating in this question?Back to the first question (What do you have that you did not receive?) which contains two parts:1. What do you have2. What do you have that you did not receive?▪ So, let's answer the questions.Consider also James 1:17 – “Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father oflights, with whom there is no variation or shadow due to change.”▪ If we fail to see that everything we have is from God, what does this do to our ability to be thankful and begrateful?▪ One person has written, “This question humbles the proud, enlightens the ignorant, and refocuses thepreoccupied.” Thoughts on this quote?▪ What are some things that contribute to our struggle with gratitude and thankfulness? What are some thingsthat can help us truly be thankful and grateful?▪ GK Chesterton wrote that, “the worst moment for the atheist is when he is really thankful and has not one tothank.” Thoughts on the quote?▪ How can we live in a worse ways than the atheist?For more information about this group, please visit their website at reformationboise.com.

"...In the struggle for existence, it is only on those who hang on for ten minutes after all is hopeless, that hope begins to dawn..."This week, I am reading selected quotes on hope from GK Chesterton.Reflection question:Where do you need to lean into the desperate, forlorn hope this week and keep moving forward?Reflection on quote:Last week, we discussed the first of two opposite errors in our campaign messaging that we can fall into.  The first error is blaming others and encouraging rage giving.  The second is to create desperate pleas for emergency giving with the implicit threat that the capital campaign project will fail without the donations.  This week, let's reflect on the weaknesses with desperate pleas during a capital campaign.  I typically counsel my capital campaign clients that they get one shot at giving a desperate plea in a small town and they need to use it wisely. Why? As GK Chesterton stated, fairy tales tell children that dragons can be killed.  But, if dragons keep getting resurrected, and resurrected, and resurrected, then children cease to believe that dragons can be killed. Repeated desperate pleas sap hope from the community.  Instead, when we are facing obstacles, it is better for us to lean into hope.  It's not the hope of bright prospects.  It's the hope of desperate circumstances.  It's the hope that holds on for 10 minutes more.  The hope that keeps calling potential donors with the vision of impact the project will have. The hope that keeps asking the community to partner together to finish the project.  The hope that keeps moving forward.  What do you think? Send me a text.

Welcome to a Brain Wrinkling Wednesday with Fr. Tom Koys.  Today Father Koys intends to examine the origins of humanity.  But just prior to that stimulating discussion, he shares his sermon prepared centered on Sundays Gospel “Are there many to be saved”.  Afterwards he leads into his discussion on origins hoping to make connections between the book “Everlasting Man” by GK Chesterton and the Theology of the Body as he attempts to wrinkle your brain. St. Stanislaus Kostka Parish
