Podcasts about he gets us

In this episode I am joined by Professor Mara Einstein, digital marketing critic; author and public speaker on cult brands and influencer scams; and tenured professor of media studies at Queens College (CUNY). Mara discusses her latest book “Hoodwinked: How Marketers Use the Same Tactics as Cults”, warns about manipulative marketing techniques used in media and religions, details the 9 steps of cult recruitment, and shares case studies of religious marketing models.

Mara also considers religion as a product, analyses stealth Buddhism and prosperity gospel preachers, and offers her own thoughts on how religious groups can market themselves more ethically. … Video version: https://www.guruviking.com/podcast/ep306-marketing-tactics-of-religions-cults-prof-mara-einstein Also available on Youtube, iTunes, & Spotify – search ‘Guru Viking Podcast'. … Topics include: 00:00 - Intro 01:08 - Hoodwinked, 01:21 - Religion as a product 02:17 - Early interest in religion and cults 03:36 - PhD about religion and policy 05:35 - Televangelists and the Passion of the Christ 06:52 - The Purpose Driven Church marketing 07:34 - The secularisation theory and why the US bucks the trend 08:13 - Joel Osteen vs Oprah Winfrey 09:34 - Why do secular organisations use religious themes? 11:41 - Cults and Multi-level marketing 13:14 - Brand cults such as Apple 14:46 - Marketing Hoodwinked 1536 - Social media vs television advertising 16:37 - Rage farming, increased anxiety, and becoming susceptible to messaging 20:20 - Brand purchases as expressions of individual identity 21:42 - Selling the sacred, how religion and marketing intersects 25:03 - Mara's own religious journey through Judaism and the New Age 26:31 - Becoming a follower of Marianne Williamson 27:01 - Disillusioned by religion 27:13 - Studying evangelicals 27:58 - Interviewing Ralph White 28:29 - Mara analyses her own journey to becoming a follower of Marianne Williamson 32:00 - World Nutella Day 34:18 - Going deeper with Marianne Williamson 36:10 - 9 steps of cult recruitment 36:47 - Targeting the vulnerable 40:26 - Upselling and the Kabbalah Centre 42:02 - Love-bombing 43:14 - Tough love 44:34 - Creation of in and out groups 46:30 - Severe repercussions for leaving 47:22 - American Evangelism 49:33 - How should religions market themselves with integrity? 49:52 - “He Gets Us” and the Alpha Course 52:07 -2 year mission trips don't work 52:41 - The best marketing is to live the message 54:49 - Shady marketing tactics to avoid 56:22 - Beware of panacea answers 57:02 - Beware the charismatic leader 57:56 - How would Mara advice a religious group to use marketing ethically? 59:33 - Know your target audience 01:01:13 - The brilliance of Rick Warren's consumer research driven marketing 01:02:47 - Is stealth Buddhism shady marketing? 01:04:44 - Bait and switch of secular mindfulness 01:06:34 - Capitalist meditation 01:07:42 - Is MBSR a bait and switch? 01:09:09 - Mara's advice for those selling corporate mindfulness 01:10:15 - Transparency vs deception 01:12:23 - Make it ok to question and ok to leave 01:13:31 - Hoodwinked 01:14:15 - Pervasiveness of cults 01:15:13 - Influencers and a spectrum of cults 01:16:29 - Teal Swan and lifestyle marketing 01:17:21 - Anyone can be pulled into a cult … To find our more about Professor Mara Einstein, visit: - https://www.drmaraeinstein.com/ For more interviews, videos, and more visit: - https://www.guruviking.com Music ‘Deva Dasi' by Steve James

This series continues the as-needed evaluation of the marketing campaign called He Gets Us against the Bible, using proper exegetical and hermeneutical principles to determine whether, or not a Biblically and historically correct picture of Jesus is portrayed.

This week it is the story of Jesus' meeting with a Jewish leader named Nicodemus. In that meeting, Jesus speaks perhaps the most well-known verse in the Bible, John 3:16. The Apostle John had a very clear purpose for what he wrote in the Gospel that bears his name. John says, these are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name.

The He Gets Us organization (https://hegetsus.com/en) pays for some very interesting commercials to run during the Super Bowl. There is a link to the commercial in my video. They have received criticism from both the left and right. What are we to make of this?

Mart Green joins the podcast to share how his retail book chain stayed profitable and growing in the face of the rise of Amazon, defying the odds. Plus, Mart explains Hobby Lobby's Green Family's inner workings and how he navigated the critical reaction to the He Gets Us campaign.

There has been a lot of talk lately about who Jesus is. From the Super Bowl commercials from He Gets Us to progressive church theology, many say that he is a Social Justice Warrior. Lets take a look and see if this is really a good characterization of who He is.

Bill McKendry is the founder and Chief Creative Officer of BrandHaven, the agency behind the massively influential “He Gets Us” campaign. Bill shares about his focus on marketing for faith-based initiatives and why focusing on the “movable middle” is a better strategy for making your message heard.

The "He Gets Us" campaign is a billion dollar ad blitz, presenting Jesus as a palatable everyman who is nice, very nice. Is that a problem?

On this week's episode of the National Crawford Roundtable the guys talk about the recent spate of plane crashes, including the Delta flight that landed upside down. They'll also discuss the recent SNL50 show in which Tom Hanks portrays a racist MAGA voter. Is it right or fair of the Left to continue to portray MAGA followers in such a poor light? We'll also talk about the latest on DOGE. The guys also discuss Rick Warren's recent comments that Jesus would be "in the middle" politically, like between the thieves on the cross, "not on either side." Can Christians consider that an accurate statement? And what about the "HeGetsUs.com campaign--is it an accurate teaching of Christianity or is it misguided?

Josh is joined by Thomas to discuss recent comments by Vice President JD Vance, also, bad Super Bowl ads, He Gets Us and more - Tim is out for a Maven Trip!

This week Chris and Jeremy sit down to discuss the "He Gets Us" ad that aired during the Super Bowl. They explore the importance of authenticity as well as diving a little deeper before sharing content with others.

On today's program, two former leaders from Archegos Capital Management have dropped their financial claims against disgraced Christian philanthropist Bill Hwang. Why did they drop out, and what does that mean for the other staff members hoping to collect $32 million? We'll have details. And, the controversial ‘He Gets Us' ads showcased its message again at Sunday's Super Bowl game. After critics last year labeled the ads too political, this year's version was decidedly less so. We'll take a look. Plus, Mission Aviation Fellowship co-founder Jack Hemmings dies at 103…in 2024, he became the oldest pilot to fly a spitfire. But first, a second minister is accusing megachurch pastor and author T.D. Jakes of sexual abuse.

The "He Gets Us" campaign is at it again! At the Superbowl a new commercial dropped. But what's the message here? Was this helpful or did it just make things worse?

Segment 1: • Losing Focus: DeYoung warns that modern Christianity is missing the mark on the basics. • Bait and Switch Tactics: Campaigns like He Gets Us alter Jesus' message and dilute the Gospel. • The Great Commission Is Bigger Than You: We've made it too individualistic—time to recalibrate. Segment 2: • A Quasi-Commission? DeYoung warns that drifting from the Gospel's centrality distorts our mission. • Course Correction Needed: Have we overcomplicated or misapplied Jesus' final command? • Stay on Track: Let's resist the drift and return to the true heart of the Great Commission. Segment 3: • Canadian Minister Rejects ‘Savior'—this reflects a growing movement to soften Christianity. • The Seeker-Sensitive Trap: Avoiding talk of sin is an unbiblical strategy to avoid offending people. • Truth Hurts, but Heals: Jesus didn't sugarcoat His message, and neither should we. Segment 4: • A Pastor Who Doesn't Like the Word ‘Savior'? What Bible is he reading? • Twisting Theology: This minister prefers his own definition of Savior—problematic at best. • The Real Stumbling Block: The Gospel is offensive because it confronts sin—but that's exactly why we need it. ___ Thanks for listening!

In today's episode, we go over the best and worst of yesterday's Super Bowl ads, from a tearjerker Google Gemini commercial to a cringe "anti-hate" commercial featuring Snoop Dogg. Of course, it wouldn't be a Super Bowl without the He Gets Us campaign running yet another commercial that completely misses the point of the gospel. At least players and even Nick Sirianni, the Eagles coach, gave glory to God before and after the game. And did Kendrick Lamar mock America, or was his halftime performance patriotic? Lastly, Trump named Paula White, prosperity gospel "pastor," the head of his new White House faith office. We go over some of her false teachings and distortions of the gospel and why, despite her closeness to Trump, she may not be the best person to head this important office.

There's an ancient expression that says, “He was as we are, and therefore Hewill help; He was not as we are, and therefore He can.” What does this meanto you?3. What is the word “therefore” there for in today's passage?4. Read Hebrews 4: 13. What does this tell us about our need for Jesus?5. How does the word “therefore” connect our human need with divine mercyand grace?6. Does verse 14 speak primarily about the humanity or divinity of Jesus? Whatabout verse 15?7. In what ways do Jesus' humanity and divinity help us? Why do we need Himto have both of these natures?8. Pastor Mick mentioned the “He Gets Us” ad campaign that has been popularlately. What does it mean when we say “He Gets Us”? How does He “get”us? How do we “get” Him?9. How might today's passage be a good lead-in to the Advent and Christmasseasons? In what ways do we see the humanity and divinity of Jesus duringAdvent and Christmas?10. Next week we begin our Advent series entitled “Everybody Needs a LittleJesus.” How does little Jesus (baby Jesus in the manger) reveal the humanityand divinity of Jesus and our need for him to have both of these natures?Prayer for the Week:Gracious and Loving God,Thank you for the gift of Your Son, Jesus the Christ, the Son of man and the Sonof God. Thank you for loving us so much that you would send him from the lightof heaven to the darkness of this world to put on flesh and dwell among us.Thank you for entering your own creation in such a way that you not only relateto us, but save us from ourselves. How comforting it is to know that you get us.Even more comforting is the knowledge that Jesus gave his life to pay the pricefor our sins; a price we could never pay on our own. Forgive us for the timeswhen we might take this for granted. Help us to live lives of gratitude so that wemight give you honor and glory as we invite others to know you as we do. Wepray all of this in the precious, holy and strong name of Jesus, our King of kings,Lord of lords, and Great High Priest. Amen.

Greg answers questions about the “He Gets Us” campaign from earlier this year, whether a property in the tree of the knowledge of good and evil gave Adam and Eve knowledge, the historicity of Job, and whether God will spend eternity in pain as he watches people suffer in Hell.   Topics: What did you think of the “He Gets Us” foot washing ads earlier this year? (00:00) Could the tree of the knowledge of good and evil have had some property that gave them this knowledge since the related tree of life seems to have had a property that would cause them to live forever? (17:00) Why do you think Job isn't a historical account? (29:00) Since God loves everyone and Jesus died for everyone, if God is aware of what's going on in Hell, does that mean he'll spend eternity in pain as he watches his creation suffer?

Many of you have probably seen commercials on television that have the theme, "He Gets Us." They are intended to introduce the television viewer to Jesus. What is their message? Is it sound? Let's dive in and assess it.Resources:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rV3AnTUPiDY

How are you growing in intimacy with Christ as an individual, family, and community?In this episode, Jeff, Jeff, Mart, and Tyler discuss: The generosity of women in the family.The privilege of traveling and experiencing other cultures and peoples. Collaboration to go faster and further together. Power in unity, person-to-person, life-to-life connections.   Key Takeaways: Work is more than just what you do, it's who you are and applying that.Invite your children along the journey to be on mission as a family. Encourage them to also find their passions, make connections, and open relationships to them so they can see different pathways for their gifts to bless others.As you get closer to your city, your calling gets larger and larger. Satan always attacks at the point of unity. It is a hard battle, but it is worth fighting for.  "I can't just be a gospel patron. I also have to be a gospel proclaimer, and I expect the gospel proclaimers to be gospel patrons and be generous themselves." —  Mart Green Episode References: Rooting for Rivals by Peter Greer: https://www.peterkgreer.com/rooting-for-rivals/He Gets Us: https://hegetsus.com/ About Mart Green: Mart Green is the Ministry Investment Officer for Hobby Lobby and the founder of Mardel Christian and Education Supply stores.

On today's program, a South Carolina church is facing fallout after it became known that its pastor is a registered sex offender for abusing a minor. Leaders knew when they hired him, but didn't alert members. We'll have details. And, years ago a handful of Dallas-area churches that started as multi-site campuses of The Village Church transitioned to becoming independent churches as part of a church-planting initiative. We checked in to see how they are doing. Plus, another Christian university is shuttering its doors due to financial hardship. We'll take a look. But first, a technology company has acquired two sister websites from Christianity Today. Gloo, a technology company that is behind the famous “He Gets Us” campaign has acquired two sister news sites from Christianity Today: Church Law & Tax and ChurchSalary.

Today, we're joined by Gabriel Finochio, cofounder of TheosU and host of "The Reactionary Christian," to discuss Christian nationalism, the church fathers, the attack of the secular Left, the importance of a Christian society, and why feminism has destroyed biblical womanhood for so many women. Is America a Christian country, and how should religion be structured into government, if at all? What actually IS "Christian nationalism"? What elements of our civilization should be conserved? What is the real danger of idolatry?

The “He Gets Us” campaign ran a Super Bowl ad showing culture war combatants washing each other's feet. It has conservative Christians upset and non-Christians confused. Phil, Kaitlyn, and Skye react to the ad and unpack the many ways we misunderstand the meaning of Jesus washing his disciples' feet. Then, New Testament professor Nijay Gupta is back to discuss his new book “Strange Religion” about what made early Christianity so weird and compelling. He explains what Roman religion looked like before Christianity, and how those pagan values and practices are returning. Plus, Chinese spy pigeons and swearing parrots.

Have you ever had someone jump to false conclusions about you based on a single comment or tweet? That's what you call a hasty generalization, and people on both sides of the political and theological aisle have been guilty of committing this logical fallacy, many times resulting in the marginalization of whomever is on the receiving end of the accusation. In this current season of political chaos, how can you speak your mind (and share the truth) without falling into the trap of becoming a victim (or maybe even a perpetrator) of these snap judgments? This week, Frank addresses 10 hot-button topics in a single podcast episode! How will he cram so much in so little time? Hastily! In this lightning fast discussion on politics, religion, and logical fallacies, Frank will answer questions like: Is it racist to care about border security? Does being concerned about racial disparities mean that a person is "woke"? Is it divisive to call out heresy in church? How did Frank respond when someone called him a bigot? Do Christians seem to carry a lot of political influence as of late? What did the "He Gets Us" ad campaign get wrong...again?   Later in the episode, Frank responds to an email from a skeptic who made a few hasty generalizations in regards to the previous podcast episode featuring Eric Metaxas. Whether it's political issues like border security and election fraud or theological debates like a young earth versus an old earth, we shouldn't make assumptions without having sufficient information. Want to learn more about how to avoid hasty generalizations? Consider attending the Fearless Faith conference in Xenia, OH this upcoming weekend (February 16-17)! To view the entire VIDEO PODCAST be sure to join our CrossExamined private community. It's the perfect place to jump into some great discussions with like-minded Christians while simultaneously providing financial support for our ministry. You can also SUPPORT THE PODCAST HERE.
