Straight after Oleksandr Usyk dethroned Anthony Joshua on points in a boxing masterclass in London, the new world heavyweight champion told a crowd of 65,000 that: "The only thing I wanted to do with this fight is to give praise to Jesus Christ." A fortnight later, the world's other heavyweight champion, Tyson Fury proclaimed to a global audience of 920,000 that Jesus helped him knock out Deontay Wilder to retain his title. Why have boxing and Christianity become so deeply embedded in each other's corners? Ernie Rae goes toe to toe with the theology behind the punches with stories of some of the sport's biggest names and those at its grassroots today. How do Christians in the fight game reconcile love thy neighbour with delivering knockouts? Especially when we know much more about the long term brain damage boxers are exposed to. To answer these questions and more, Ernie is joined by: Pastor Lorraine Jones, Chief Executive Officer and founder of Dwayneamics, a boxing gym in Brixton. Amy Koehlinger, Associate Professor of History and Religious Studies at Oregon State University and author of the upcoming Rosaries and Rope Burns: Boxing and Manhood in American Catholicism from 1880 to 1970. Gordon Marino, former boxer who covered the sport for the Wall Street Journal and HBO. A boxing trainer with 30 years' experience, professor of Philosophy at St Olaf College, Minnesota and author of The Existentialist's Survival Guide: How to Live Authentically in an Inauthentic Age. Plus, as he prepares for his next fight, boxer, Jazza Dickens tells Ernie precisely why he believes God “strengthens his hands” whilst keeping him and his opponent safe no matter what he does in the squared circle.

Dr. Marino earned his Ph.D., from the University of Chicago, M.A. University of Pennsylvania, and his B.A. from Columbia University.

Enjoy this "20 Questions on Camus" interview:

Life isn't an easy road to navigate. We're moody creatures, susceptible to an array of psychological setbacks, emotional ups and downs, fruitless searches for meaning, and trials posed by anxiety, depression, and despair. It's the kind of journey one needs a survival guide for, and my guest today says one of the best can be found in the writings of existential philosophers.  His name is Gordon Marino and he's a football and boxing coach, a professor of philosophy, and the author of The Existentialist's Survival Guide: How to Live Authentically in an Inauthentic Age. Gordon and I begin our conversation with how he personally found existentialism, and how his coaching intersects with his teaching. We then get into what existential philosophy is all about, and the thinkers and authors who are considered to be existentialists. Gordon shares what he thinks is the greatest existential novel, and which of Soren Kierkegaard’s books he most recommends reading. From there we delve into what Kierkegaard has to say about anxiety, how he thought existential angst was the ultimate teacher, the distinction he drew between depression and despair, and why he argues that procrastination is one of our greatest moral dangers. We then unpack the different models of living an authentic life that the existentialists espoused, and what Nietzsche meant with his injunction to "live dangerously." We then get into the existentialists’ take on love, why love is actually hard to accept, and why you should presuppose love in others. We end our conversation with what boxing can teach about existential philosophy.  Get the show notes at aom.is/existential.

Today I'm going try and tackle, in an introductory way, the subject of calling, what it means to find your calling, and some suggestions on how to do that. And the reason I say this is introductory is that calling is something that unfolds over time in the context of a relationship with God. And neither I nor anyone else can help you sort out your calling in a 30-60 minute podcast where it's just me talking to you.   So this is us dipping our toes into the water, hopefully getting ourselves sorted out and moving in the right direction, and learning to avoid some of the common ways we get tripped up in our search for our calling in the modern world.   Join me today as we discuss:   1. Some o the reasons why calling is so difficult to sort out. 2. Five common misconceptions about calling. 3. Two important precursors to finding your calling. 4. Ten questions to aid you in sorting out your own calling. 5. Why you just can't find your calling by yourself. 6. The thing that is far more important than having a calling.   As always, we'd appreciate it if you'd tell others about the podcast. If you enjoy the show, please subscribe,  rate and review us on iTunes, Spotify, Stitcher, or wherever you get your podcasts.   Please visit us on our Facebook group for the Jesus Society Podcast. Just search Jesus Society Podcast, and I'm sure you'll find it.

This third lecture in the 2017-18 Philosophy Speaker Series was presented by Dr. Gordon Marino, Professor of Philosophy and Director of the Hong Kierkegaard Library at St. Olaf College. Dr. Marino writes: "The Stoic Seneca said, 'He who studies with a philosopher...should daily return home a sounder man, or on the way to becoming sounder.' I have spent much of the last three decades reading and in dialogue with Soren Kierkegaard's texts. I would like to think that this study has at least set me on a path to becoming a sounder human being. In this lecture, I will try to pass along some of the wisdom I have garnered from my long and ongoing walk with Kierkegaard."
