Podcasts about Hesse

The Movies…. Are back. The Mindset….Continues. Bet you thought we had forgotten? Will and Hesse get in right under the gun for another Movie Mindset Oscars Special. Our two professional film critics and acclaimed indie film stars discuss this year's finest offerings from Tinsel Town and debate which among them deserves to be immortalized with that finest of names “Oscar.” Will PTA finally have his crowning moment of glory this year or will it be One Disappointment After Another for the wunderkind director as he's snubbed yet again… Who will win the ideological battle over fascism this year? Will it be The Secret Agent, which maintains that fascism is bad or F:1 which stands for Fascism = #1? Is having a parent evil, or is being a parent evil? And Is it better to exist or not to? Films like this year's Frankenstein, Sentimental Value and Hamnet all delve into this tricky and universal human dilemma. The Best Actor race is among the tightest in recent memory with many industry insiders saying it's going to come down to Michael B Jordan playing a set of twins who are divided over eating pussy and becoming a vampire and Timothee Chalamet who plays an arrogant, pushy Jewish guy who gets everything he wants and conquers the world. Will and Hesse discuss all this and more! Also Train Dreams? Place your bets NOW on which of this year's movies will win, and which ones each of these professional film critics still haven't seen!

Episode 3945: Kate Hesse explains how the body's sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems shape our response to stress, from adrenaline-fueled survival reactions to the restorative “rest and digest” state. She shows how modern life keeps many people stuck in chronic stress and why learning to intentionally activate the parasympathetic system is essential for health. Understanding this balance can help you regain energy, improve digestion, and build practical habits that calm the body and mind. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://nourishnestbreathe.com/nervous-system/ Quotes to ponder: "Our body can't tell the difference between actual life threatening danger and everyday stress." "When you are in parasympathetic nervous system response it is the equivalent of parking your car at the gas pump." "By taking slow and intentional breaths, you send a message to your body that it should be in a parasympathetic nervous system state." Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

What's seen as inspiring in the world are ego's triumphs. But there's another kind of inspiration we can feel when we hear about people who give themselves for others. We can also be inspired by those who exhibit essential qualities on the spiritual path. We innately feel an urge to embody qualities that feed a higher purpose. We can work to develop a “Work I” by observing ourselves and not letting lower qualities rule. This part of ourselves can arise out of conscience and be strengthened by practice. Inspirational stories are impression food that can enliven essential qualities that are in all of us. Whether any story is factually true in all of its details isn't the point. Stories are told about forgiveness, generosity, service, and the importance of working with childish parts of ourselves. There is discussion of inspiring circumstances including the request the Dalai Lama made to never to speak badly about the Chinese after the brutal takeover of Tibet; Garchen Rinpoche's training to generate loving kindness in a way that seemed impossible when he was young; the Zen master Hakuin's lack of concern for reputation; Orage's response to strong criticism by the enigmatic mystic Gurdjieff; the need for the character Siddhartha in Hesse's book to experience ordinary life in order to spiritually develop; the courage of Meher Baba's disciples to leave their lives behind in deciding to follow their master on the New Life; the all-consuming love in the Sufi tale of Layla and Majnun; the commitment of Gandhi to Hindu-Moslem unity which he demonstrated by fasting; the wandering of Swami Ramdas who viewed everything as divine after his realization; and the magical events that occurred in the relationship of Yogi Ramsuratkumar and Lee Lozowick.

VIDEO & AUDIO ON PATREON It's S-S-Seeking Sunday! Ben here. Today, Jacques, Hesse, and I take a deep dive into the Straight Acting Brotherhood, a members-only club for men who are into men and... drop shipping. Before emailing the organization's spokesperson in a truly desperate attempt to join, we try to figure out what this group actually offers and why certain gay men are drawn to it in the first place. Is it the promise of business expertise and elite networking opportunities? Or is it the allure of high-effort hustlepreneur drag? Also I show Hesse and Jacques my new treadmill and sauna and Jacques tell us why you will get blocked if you DM him about his hair. Intro & Outro– Slayrizz, Imagine If

Today on Movie Jacqueset, Hesse, Jacques and Masha discuss the classic film Freejack, one of the thousand low-budget sci-fi action movies from the early 90's that's amazing and very bad. They discuss Mick Jagger's incredible accent work, the philosophical implications of The Eagle Speech, and the beautiful Jack-centric climax!

Josiah Hesse grew up in northern Iowa during the farm crisis of the 1980s, a moment of economic collapse, rising poverty, and quiet desperation across the rural Midwest. In this episode, he joins Straight White American, Jesus to talk about his new memoir, On Fire for God: Fear, Shame, Poverty, and the Making of the Christian Right. Through his family's story—parents who poured everything into a prosperity-gospel church, even giving dollar-for-dollar what they earned—Hesse traces how faith, trauma, and economic pressure collided in a home and a church marked by dysfunction, scandal, and exploitation. What emerges is not a caricature, but a deeply human portrait of people searching for meaning, stability, and hope in a system that ultimately consumed them. Our conversation moves from the intimate to the national, mapping Hesse's personal journey onto the rise of the Christian Right from the 1980s to today's Christian nationalist movement. We talk about fear of the end times, purity culture, religious trauma, sexuality, and the long road out of evangelicalism—alongside the compassion required to reckon honestly with the people and places that shaped him. Hesse, a journalist based in Colorado, brings unflinching analysis and rare empathy to a genre crowded with deconversion stories, showing how the forces that shaped his childhood are now shaping our public square. Subscribers can stick around for an extended discussion on how his story illuminates the political and moral crises we're living through right now. www.axismundi.us www.straightwhiteamericanjesus.com Hesse, On Fire for God: https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/721105/on-fire-for-god-by-josiah-hesse/ Learn more about your ad choices.

It's Seeking Sunday! Ben here. Today, Jacques, Hesse, and I talk about our favorite people, the Fab Five.

We then ask bigger questions like: Is fighting with your friends a dying art? Why are gay men so mean to each other? Did JVN really kill his cat? Stay warm Seekers! We'll be back next week with more. Mwah!

You can't go home again, as the saying goes. But Denver author Josiah Hesse did. He returned to Mason City, Iowa — with a journalistic lens— to better understand his evangelical upbringing, and the social and economic forces that shaped it. We spoke in front of an audience at the Denver Press Club for the release of "On Fire for God: Fear, Shame, Poverty, and the Making of the Christian Right – a Personal History."

The Music Man was a 1957 Broadway show written by Meredith Willson, a musician from the small Iowa town of Mason City. The popular play (and later movie) featured a con man called Harold Hill who ripped off the naive people of River City, a fictional small town based on Mason City. Nearly seventy years later, Josiah Hesse, another Iowan from Mason City, sees the Music Man narrative replaying itself. As Hesse notes in his autobiographical new book, On Fire For God, today's Harold Hills are the megachurch salesmen who descend on small American towns to rip off the local community with their religious claptrap. "They know how to prey on people's fears," Hesse argues about these evangelical preachers, "how to locate the thing that's changing, that's new, and offer something that hearkens back to another era, a pure era of American wholesomeness." As another observant American midwesterner, Mark Twain, once quipped: "History doesn't repeat itself, but it rhymes."Keen On America is a reader-supported publication.

Host Diana Korte spoke with Ex-Evangelical Josiah Hesse this week about his fourth book, “ON FIRE FOR GOD. Fear, Shame, Poverty, and the Making of the Christian Right—A Personal History.” When asked why he wrote this book, Colorado-based Hesse said “I was tired of hearing my colleagues in journalism express their bafflement as to why working-class evangelicals would support a man like Donald Trump. Evangelicals make up a third of our country, and yet most journalists and editors know nothing about them.”   “I have yet to encounter any books (about evangelicals) written by someone whose family were desperately poor and susceptible to the con of prosperity gospel or multilevel marketing, who experienced the kinetic rush of a Pentecostal church service, or were taught creationist science in a rural Christian school.”

'Las cabras'  son humanas, cabra y cabro es como se denomina a los jóvenes en Chile, porque si algo queda claro en la primera novela de la chilena Pilar Asuero es que el español , gracias a sus más de 600 millones de hablantes en todo el mundo, tiene una riqueza infinita. Pero la novela va de otra cosa., va de cuatro amigas veinteañeras, que se conocen desde los cuatro años y que la madurez le llega de golpe. Una de ellas se queda embarazada,  sin esperarlo, otra, La Cami, la protagonista y narradora, decide venir a España con el objetivo de convertirse en escritora. 'Las cabras' se estructura en tres trimestres. Los primeros nueve meses de La Cami en Madrid y los del embarazo de su amiga La Sofi.  Son dos partos, el que tarda el niño en nacer y lo que tarda Cami en ponerse a escribir. Entre medias la añoranza, la adaptación a un nuevo país, la precariedad, los problemas con el idioma , aunque sea le mismo, y la dificultad que es ser madre por un lado y por otro escribir. Pilar Asuero, además de traer a nuestro biblioteca 'Las Cabras' , nos donó 'Al faro' de Virginia Woolf (DeBolsillo). Y antes de nuestro libro de la semana, nuestro bibliotecario Antonio Martínez Asensio nos contó en tres minutos 'La pulga de acero' de Nikolái Leskov (Impedimenta) y nos anunció para su programa "Un libro, una hora"  'Sin noticias de Gurb' de Eduardo Mendoza (Seix Barral). Pero hubo más entradas bibliográficas en nuestros anaqueles. Pepe Rubio trajo dos novedades: 'Feliz año 365 días-365 diaristas" de Esteban Feune De Colombi (ediciones Uña Rota) y 'Abrazaremos el caos por ti' de Silvia Nanclares y María Hesse (Lunwerg). El rescatador de libros Pascual Donate recuperó de los libros abandonados en la redacción 'Mensajes e una botella: un experimento legendario' de Wolgsang Struck  (Ariel). Y finalmente las primeras donaciones del año de nuestros oyentes: 'La guerra del fin del mundo' de Mario Vargas LLosa (Alfaguara), 'La búsqueda de la felicidad' de Victoria Camp (Arpa) , 'Sábado' de Ian McEwan (Anagrama) y 'Elogio de las manos' de Jesús Carrasco (Seix Barral)

We then turn to the media's coverage of Gaza: Jeremy's new story on The Free Press' “debunking” of the photos of malnourished Gazan children, the news that Douglas Murray and David Frum were writing speeches for an Israeli ambassador, a supposed document from Mohammad Sinwar, and Jacki Karsh's pro-Israel journalism fellowship.
