Podcast appearances and mentions of heidi white

The Parable of the Prodigal Son is really the parable of two brothers: one who's ruled by unchecked desire, and the other who's ruled by legalism and pride. I think a lot of us can resonate with both brothers. We feel torn between what we want to do and what we ought to do. But God designed these two things to be united within us! Using this parable as a framework, my friend Heidi White joins me again to talk about how we can not only do what's right but also desire what's right ... and find true freedom and joy as a result.

Ever feel torn between what you should do and what you want to do? Oh friend, you're not alone—and this week's episode with the amazing Heidi White dives straight into that tension. Heidi is a teacher, speaker, and author of Divided Soul: Duty and Desire in Literature and Life, joins me to unpack the stories we live and the ones we tell—through scripture, literature, and real life. We talk about Adam and Eve, the prodigal son, and how our desires and responsibilities pull us in opposite directions (hello, relatable!).

“Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ears; I come to bury Caesar, not to praise him. The evil that men do lives after them; The good is oft interred with their bones; So let it be with Caesar.”On this episode, Dr. Junius Johnson and Fr. Wesley Walker sit down with Heidi White to talk about Shakespeare's Julius Caesar. Why does Caesar appear so little in a play in which he is the titular character? How should we think about the actions of Brutus and his co-conspirators? What lessons about friendship can we learn from this work? What is the relationship between rhetoric and crowds? These are just some of the questions that get covered in the episode.End Notes:* Junius: Dear Brutus by J.M.

It's the beginning of the holiday season, the season of giving and what better way to demonstrate financial sobriety than to share a story of need and success as it relates to some of our most misunderstood families and children... those in the Foster Care System. Today, Jim and Matthew speak with Heidi White, Educator and Church Relations Director for The Alliance: defending the causes of kids and families. You'll hear the true stories of what happens to children in the Foster Care System once emancipated and the challenges they face against great odds. It's not an uplifting outcome, unless or until we make it so. But there is hope. There are many opportunities for support and it's not all just financial. You'll most certainly agree after hearing this episode. With timing "in the season" of giving it's our hope you're moved to do something for someone in need as we exemplify our gratitude for others around us this thanksgiving holiday.

The James Webb Space Telescope has been getting some of the most detailed information and images from space since it launched a year and a half ago. And soon, there's going to be a big boost in research on exoplanets – planets outside of our solar system – particularly ones that might be able to host life.Dr. Heidi White is an astrophysicist and science communicator with the Trottier Institute for Research on Exoplanets at the University of Montreal, which is one of the groups that will be using the telescope to study exoplanets. She tells us about the bizarre and fascinating planets that have already been discovered, and how close we are to finding life beyond Earth.Questions? Comments? Ideas?

These days we tend to take a dim view of the past. We struggle to overcome things (personal or corporate) we wish we could go back and undo. But Christianity teaches a different way of viewing the past: one in which “remember” is one of the most frequent commands in Scripture, in which gratitude is a discipline rather than a feeling, and in which nothing is outside the reach of Christ to redeem. In this episode, Heidi White will explore the posture that can enable Christians to be conservers of the goodness and beauty they've inherited, and restorers of things that have been broken.

Oh, listeners, we are in for such a treat today! Classicist, teacher, and superstar podcaster Heidi White joins us to talk about the basics and the beauty of why we read good books. Wether you are a beginning reader or a longtime lover of rich literature, Heidi assures us that we can all be part of the ongoing conversation, through books, on what it means to be human and how we fit into this world of ours. We can't wait to hear what you think about this one!

It's been said that this is Close Reads Christmas. The last two days we have been revealing (on the Close Reads Facebook group and on the Goldberry Studios Instagram page) the books we will be discussing on the show in 2023. And now that the whole list has been unveiled it's time to share them all in one place. So jump in your car, grab your running shoes, start the laundry . . . prep for whatever you do when you're listening . . . and click play, because on this episode you can listen in as we decide what to listen to, winnowing the list from 35 finalists to 12 winners. Or just scroll down and check out the list. Either way, we're excited about this list and can't wait to dig into the books with you. Want to buy the books through Goldberry? Here's the list all in one place. Note: If you want to discover the list by listening don't read below this point. The ListPlease note this list is not the order in which the books will be discussed, which is still being determined. The Scarlet Letter / Nathaniel HawthorneThis first book won't surprise you, if you've been paying attention. It's a bonafide classic of American Lit. A book ruined by many a bad high school English class. It's one of those books that is outshined by its reputation far too often. We will be using Karen Swallow Prior's lovely edition--and, yes, she will be joining us!Persuasion / Jane AustenThis book is a classic, beloved for nearly two hundred years for its wit and wisdom. It's hilarious. It's poignent. And it features one of the great female characters in English literature.The Picture of Dorian Gray / Oscar WildeThis book has been requested many times over the years. It's a complex and mildly controversial example of a gothic novel. It's got it's detractors; it's got its super fans. It's super literary; it's pretty campy. It's a great novel for debate.Pygmalion / George Bernard ShawYou might primarily know our next book as the inspiration for a movie starring Audrey Hepburn, but it's great in its own right. It's our annual dive into a play. It's inspired by Greek mythology. It's absurdly readable.The Optimist's Daughter / Eudora WeltyOriginal Close Reader, Mary Jo Tate, has been singing the praises of our next author for years, and you know what, it is time. It's time to do a book by one of the great Southern writers, by one of the great female writers, by the one of the great American writers period. It is time to do a Eudora Welty novel.One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich / Alexander Solzhenitsyn Our next book is Tim' personal choice--and it's a worthy one. A book that is important for more than its literary merit, it also played a key role in revealing (and even changing) history. It isn't always easy to read, but it's a necessary inclusion in any list of the most essential books of the twentieth century.The Diary of a Country Priest / Georges Bernanos One of our favorite recurring genres here at Close Reads is what I will just call the Great Religious Novels of the twentieth century. Think, say, The Power and the Glory. The 2023 example of that is perhaps best known for being the inspiration for one of the great religious movies ever made (same name). It is French. It is pretty Catholic. It's lyrical.Things Fall Apart / Chinua Achebe This book may be relatively slight in terms of page count. It's one of the shorter novels we've done on Close Reads (although not the shortest we will read next year!). But it packs a literary punch in the form of a profound and influential historical novel.The Moving Toyshop / Edmund CrispinEvery year we try to read a mystery of some kind, typically during the dreary winter months. Well this year's mystery is a bit of a cult classic, a hilarious and fun murder mystery with a clever puzzle, delightful characters, and dazzling proze. It is one part Wodehouse, one part Dorothy Sayers.Everything Sad is Untrue / Daniel NayeriEvery year we give each of our contributors the opportunity to choose a book. We also like to do a children's novel every now and then. Well our next book for 2023 is Heidi White's choice, a delightful young adult novel that has been getting more buzz in this group than a post criticizing Keira Knightly.The Netanyahus / Joshua CohenDavid's choice, this 2021 novel is a strange, hilarious, melancholy, brilliant, bizarre, philosophical novel that some of you may find confounding but, hey, it DID just win the Pulitzer prize. It's about history. It's about Jewish culture. It's about America. It's a contemporary novel that offers a lot to think about.A Canticle for Liebowitz / William M. Miller Jr. Next year, our friend Sean Johnson, who has been on the East of Eden episodes, will be helping us out here and there, so we felt it was only right to let them him choose a book, too. Luckily, he chose a fascinating book that has been nominated a number of times over the last few years. It's a post-apocalyptic science fiction novel about monks in the American Southwest who are working to rebuild culture. It's an award-winning classic of the genre, that some critics claim is as good as Graham Greene and Evelyn Waugh.Click here to claim your copies of these titles today through Goldberry Books.

In preparation for Heidi White's keynote session on the Art of Christian Memory (which she'll give at our upcoming Imagination Redeemed conference), this episode revisits a talk she gave at our 2020 artists' retreat. In this lecture, Heidi explores the two different attitudes we can have toward the past, and how each needs the other in order to healthily live in the present. This balanced perspective encourages courage and fortitude in artistry, but also serves as a primer on political theology as well.

How are we supposed to grapple with the past—the good, the bad, and the ugly? Why does the Bible talk about remembering so much? And can storytelling be a way to use the past to remind ourselves who we are? In this episode, Brooke McIntire shares this month's essay by Heidi White on mythmaking, and the questions surrounding creation as an act of shared memory.

In this first episode of the rebooted Quiddity, Andrew Kern, Heidi White, Matthew Bianco, and Katerina Kern discuss the nature of beauty in a prelude to their day-long pre-conference, "Beauty Will Save the Child."

In this episode, I speak with Jeremy Tate, the founder of the Classic Learning Test about school testing, curriculum, and the classical versus industrial models of education. Jeremy argues that the current testing regime of the SAT and ACT have a tremendous influence on the curriculum taught in public and private schools. They promote a utilitarian vision of learning and drive students away from the classical Western tradition and serious reflection on what makes a good life. In response, Jeremy and his team developed the Classic Learning Test not only to be a better, more rigorous test, but to positively influence the curriculum toward more serious reading, and introduce students to the classic texts of the Western Tradition and those which shaped the founding of the United States, By ignoring these texts, the current testing and curricula regimes exclude students from engagement with the tradition. One of Tate's colleagues noted that she could go from Kindergarten through a Ph.D. without reading Homer, Plato, or Shakespeare. This unfamiliarity with the tradition makes people unaware of history and complexity, unable to make distinctions, and thus more susceptible to propaganda and manipulation. It excludes the poor from opportunity and indoctrinates the elites into utilitarian and progressive ideas that they think are simply facts. As C.S. Lewis described, “10 years hence” we can find ourselves on the side of the philosophical controversy that we didn't even know was up for debate. We discuss a number of themes including The revival of classical education Whether you should go to college or not? Education and virtue Human Formation C.S. Lewis's The Abolition of Man Eustace Scrubb and the Chronicles of Narnia Elite students focus on test scores rather than on learning Scientists with no sense of history or complexity The problems with critical thinking  The false dichotomy of Facts vs. Opinions How moral and value judgments are reduced to opinions and more.   Biography Jeremy Tate is the founder and CEO of the Classic Learning Test. Jeremy is also the host of the Anchored Podcast, CLT's top 2% global podcast that features discussions at the intersection of education and culture. Prior to founding CLT, Jeremy served as Director of College Counseling at Mount de Sales Academy in Catonsville, Maryland. He received his Bachelor of Science in Secondary Education from Louisiana State University and a Masters in Religious Studies from Reformed Theological Seminary. Jeremy and his wife Erin reside in Annapolis, Maryland with their six children. You can find Jeremy on Twitter @JeremyTate41. Resources Classic Learning Test For more on C.S.

Meet teacher, editor, podcaster, author, and essayist for "Only the Lover Sings" Heidi White. Heidi chose the song "Trying to get my heart back" from the album and wrote a fantastic essay called "Embracing a New Name: St. Photini". In it, Heidi fills us in on the Samaritan woman's story after meeting Jesus, and shares how his face gently coaxes our hearts out of bondage to fear, giving us a bright, hopeful name. The post S4:E13 – Only the Lover Sings: Heidi White, “Embracing a New Name: St. Photini” appeared first on Matthew Clark.

What is education for? In the episode, I speak with Heidi White about classical education and human flourishing. We discuss why classical education is important to pass down a cultural memory and why reading good literature and classic texts matters on multiple levels. We discuss the difference between a modern, contemporary education and a classical vision of education, the relationship between classical education and religious education, and how STEM and classical education can relate together. We talk about literature, poetry, science, and the idea of poetic knowledge. We also discuss some of the critiques, challenges, and weaknesses of classical education, and how classical education can provide an exit from the contemporary, utilitarian, ideological, and propagandist model that is dominant today.
