Welcome to Day 2891 of Wisdom-Trek, and thank you for joining me. This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to Wisdom – Theology Thursday – When Myth Remembers: The Case for the Supernatural in History. Wisdom-Trek Podcast Script - Day 2891 Welcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps!   I am Guthrie Chamberlain, and we are on Day 2891 of our Trek.   The Purpose of Wisdom-Trek is to create a legacy of wisdom, to seek out discernment and insights, and to boldly grow where few have chosen to grow before. Our current series of Theology Thursday lessons is written by theologian and teacher John Daniels. I have found that his lessons are short, easy to understand, doctrinally sound, and applicable to all who desire to learn more of God's Word. John's lessons can be found on his website   theologyinfive.com.   Today's lesson is titled:  When Myth Remembers: The Case for the Supernatural in History. Modern thinking often treats myths as primitive fiction, old stories made up to explain what ancient people didn't understand. This is a shallow and deeply flawed view. A myth, in its original form, was never just a tale. It was a framework for understanding reality. Myths carried the collective memory, theology, morality, and worldview of a people group. They encoded truth, not always literal in every detail, but meaningful, historical, and often rooted in real events, places, and supernatural encounters. To dismiss myths because they involve divine beings or miracles is to miss their purpose. Ancient people did not separate the sacred from the secular. Their myths reflected how they understood the world and how they encountered powers beyond it. The first segment is: Historical Memory Preserved in Myth Some myths are poetic versions of real events. The story of the Trojan War, once thought to be legend, gained new weight when archaeological discoveries confirmed the existence of a city that fits Homer's description of Troy. Likewise, while the legends of King Arthur are wrapped in fantasy, they are likely based on a real post-Roman warlord who resisted Saxon invaders. Even in Scripture, the events that modern critics label “mythic” often show clear signs of historical anchoring. The global flood, the destruction of Sodom, the Tower of Babel, and the conquest of Canaan are presented not as metaphors but as real acts of God in human history. These accounts, though cosmic in scope, are rooted in geography, time, and national memory. The second segment is: Myth as Cultural Lens Myths also reveal what mattered most to a people. Norse mythology, shaped by harsh winters and unrelenting violence, emphasizes cold, fate, and struggle. Mesopotamian myths center on divine kingship and cycles of fertility, reflecting the importance of rivers, temples, and crops. These stories do not just preserve events; they preserve the lens through which cultures viewed divine activity. In the Bible, this same pattern holds. Its creation narrative, flood story, and judgments are not recycled myths but deliberate responses to the surrounding pagan world. Scripture confronts and corrects the worldview embedded in other myths. It does not borrow their gods. It defeats them. The third segment is: The Modern Turn Against the Supernatural The rejection of mythic material as a source of truth is not ancient. It is modern. It was not the biblical writers or the early Church who dismissed the supernatural. That rejection began in earnest during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, when Western intellectual culture began shifting under the influence of the Enlightenment. The Enlightenment exalted reason, skepticism, and empirical science. Thinkers like David Hume and Immanuel Kant argued that miracles violated the laws of nature and were therefore unreliable as historical events. Supernatural claims were relegated to the realm of fiction or psychological projection. This created a new definition of truth, one that excluded divine intervention, spiritual beings, and cosmic conflict. In the nineteenth century, these assumptions were applied to the Bible through the historical-critical method. Scholars such as Julius Wellhausen dissected Scripture not as divine revelation but as a collection of evolving mythologies shaped by human communities. The creation narrative, the flood, the Tower of Babel, and the miracles of Jesus were no longer treated as actual events but as religious poetry or borrowed legends. In this model, myth was not something to be trusted. It was something to be deconstructed. Even movements that sought to preserve the value of myth, such as Romanticism, did so by redefining it. Myths were not allowed to speak about divine realities. Instead, they were reduced to metaphors for the human condition. Their theological and historical weight was stripped away in favor of psychological interpretation. The fourth segment is: Augustine's Overcorrection: From Mysticism to Minimalism But the groundwork for this modern rejection of mythic material was laid even earlier. Augustine of Hippo, one of the most influential theologians in Christian history, had once been deeply involved in Manichaeism, a mystical cult that emphasized a cosmic struggle between light and darkness. After leaving the cult and converting to Christianity, Augustine understandably sought to distance himself from the elaborate supernatural systems he had once embraced. However, in doing so, he overcorrected. He rejected many established supernatural interpretations of Scripture, favoring more allegorical and philosophical approaches. Influenced by Neoplatonism, Augustine prioritized abstract spiritual realities over tangible supernatural beings. He reinterpreted Genesis 6, for example, not as a rebellion of divine beings, but as a moral tale about the intermarriage of the godly and ungodly. Though Augustine never denied God's power or the reality of miracles, his discomfort with mythic material and his desire for theological respectability led him to downplay or spiritualize the cosmic conflict found in much of the Bible. His influence steered much of Western theology away from the ancient worldview that accepted divine councils, rebellious spirits, and supernatural intervention as real components of history. This theological shift made it easier for Enlightenment thinkers to later dismiss myth outright. The supernatural had already been contained and abstracted. In many ways, the modern rejection of myth did not begin with science. It began with Augustine's reaction against his own past. The fifth segment is: The Myth That Was True and the Myths That Remembered Not all myths are lies. Many are distorted memories of real events, echoes of a spiritual history that the nations once knew but later twisted. The flood, the divine rebellion, the rise of giants, the war among the gods, these appear in cultures across the globe not because they were invented out of thin air, but because they preserve fragments of true events. The nations remembered the rebellion of the sons of God, but they passed it down in corrupted form. They remembered divine judgments, but attached them to false deities. Their stories are not false because they are myth. They are flawed because they lost the context of Yahweh's supremacy. In the twentieth century, this idea was captured powerfully in a conversation between J.R.R. Tolkien and C.S. Lewis. At the time, Lewis still considered myths to be beautiful lies, moving, meaningful, but ultimately untrue. Tolkien challenged that view. He explained that myths resonate because they point to something real. Humanity tells stories of gods and sacrifice and resurrection because it dimly remembers. Made in the image of a Creator who speaks through story, we carry within us a longing for the true version of the story all nations once knew. Tolkien told Lewis, “The story of Christ is a myth working on us in the same way as the others, but with this tremendous difference: it really happened.” The point was not that the other myths were worthless, but that they were shadows. The gospel is the fulfillment of what all the others pointed toward. It is not myth in the modern sense of fiction, but myth in the ancient sense of divine reality revealed in story. Where the nations preserved pieces of divine truth wrapped in confusion, Scripture restores the original pattern. Where paganism elevates rebel gods and obscures justice, the Bible reorients the mythic structure around Yahweh, the Most High. It does not erase the mythic imagination. It redeems it. The sixth segment  is: Yahweh Is Not Bound by the System He Created A major reason people reject mythic material is the presence of supernatural events. Miracles, divine appearances, and acts of judgment are written off as fabrications because they do not conform to natural law. But that objection is built on a misunderstanding of who Yahweh is. If we believe that Yahweh is...

How do you move faith from your head to your heart?In this reflection on Psalm 34, John Ortberg explores one of the most famous invitations in Scripture:"Taste and see that the Lord is good."Many people know about God. Far fewer learn to experience God's goodness in everyday life.Drawing from the story of David, reflections from Augustine of Hippo, and a memorable scene from Prince Caspian, John shows how faith becomes real when it moves beyond ideas and into experience.This episode explores:Psalm 34 and the goodness of GodKnowing about God vs. knowing GodWhy praise matters during sufferingThe Lord's nearness to the brokenheartedExperiencing God in ordinary lifeLearning to taste and seeScriptures:Psalm 341 Samuel 21#Psalm34 #JohnOrtberg #TasteAndSee #Prayer #SpiritualFormation #ChristianFaith #BibleStudy #Psalms #Faith #godsgoodness

Vier Locations, ein Schlafmangel: Mü grüßt schwarz-gelb aus Eichenschön, Dagi (9mm Headshot) dämmert mit aus Mannheim, Henry hat Schweden-Kater und Dennis funkt „guten Abend" aus Downtown Miami rein. Die WM ist da, und alle sind durch.   Biene Ritter Bär unterstützen:  Per Überweisung an: Hippo mit Horn e.K. IBAN IE07SUMU99036510368345 BIC SUMUIE22XXX Per Paypal    Vereins-Schnelldurchlauf: Bei Hertha ist nicht nur Eichhorn weg, sondern auch Reese nach Wolfsburg – Dennis erklärt's zur besten Tat seines Lebens, Mü übersetzt: aus reiner Nächstenliebe wechselt man eher nicht zum Aufstiegsfavoriten. Hertha steht jetzt bei „Punkt Null" (vorher: minus 18 Millionen). Bei Dortmund zieht Duranville womöglich Richtung Lyon, und Schlotterback plus Nmecha sind bei guter WM 150 Mio. wert – wie hieß es zur Halbzeit so schön: „BVB führt 2:1 gegen Curaçao". Union stellt das neue Heimtrikot lieblos vor, einen Tag später kommt Marvin Friedrich zurück – und plötzlich braucht man das Trikot doch (Gratis-Flock inklusive). Van den Bosch bestätigt, vier rechtsfüßige Innenverteidiger, eine ungeklärte Viererkette. Dann WM satt: Lukakus 13-Sekunden-Anlaufzeit (Lars-Ricken-Vibes), der kapverdische Keeper, der über Nacht von 50.000 auf 5,2 Mio. Follower explodiert, und sein Land, das mit 800 Pässen weniger und einem Mannschaftsbus quer im Sechzehner trotzdem den Europameister ärgert. Die These des Abends: Die kleinen Mächte sind frisch, die Großklub-Stars nach 80 Saisonspielen einfach durch.   Das deutsche 7:1 gegen Curaçao: starker Start, kurzer Schreck beim 1:1, dann Vollgas bis zum Schluss. Brown überragend (für 55 Mio. fast ein Schnäppchen), Sané als Dauer-Diskussionsthema. Dagis Prognose fürs Frankreich-Spiel: 8:1 ;-)    Und aus Nordamerika: Dennis erlebt das Mexiko-Eröffnungsspiel als reinen Ausnahmezustand (jeder grinst, selbst die Polizei tanzt). Wie sprechen über den den Schiedsrichter, der eine Entscheidung per Stadionmikro in einer bis heute ungeklärten Sprache erklärt (Link), von Houston-Sicherheitsschlangen bei Amazonas-Schwüle und 20-Grad-Klima-Hallen mit verkauften Trink-„Werbe"-Pausen.   Unser Tippspiel läuft, die Rucksäcke quellen schon nach fünf Tagen über vor Tabasco und Bechern...

200 Happy Hippo Podcast - 200 Sendungen by Happy Hippo

Fünf statt vier, null statt drei Niederlagen, und ein Gast mit Dialekt: Dougi von 9mm Headshot ist da – Sänger, Gitarrist, Schwarz-Gelb-Herz und damit sofort Müs neuer Lieblingsmensch. Sein WM-Song „Endlich wieder Weltmeister" tritt gegen Helene Fischer an („Marktbegleitung").   Biene Ritter Bär unterstützen:  Per Überweisung an: Hippo mit Horn e.K. IBAN IE07SUMU99036510368345 BIC SUMUIE22XXX Per Paypal    Erst die Trikot-Nachlese mit Community-Kommentaren: Henry sitzt natürlich im schwarzen Mexiko-Trikot, das weiße Japan-Hemd spaltet weiter die Nation (geliebt oder „Kind mit Wachsmalstift"), und Belgiens halbierte Lollipops bringen uns zur eigentlich wichtigsten Frage des Abends – warum sind Quallen Sabrinas Lieblingstiere? Antwort: Wildunfall mit Qualle, wer kennt's nicht. Streben verboten, T-Shirt verboten, Mankini erlaubt (sieht nur komischer aus). Das von Dougie im Podcast angesprochene (leider fiktive) schwarze Deutschlandtrikot: https://www.instagram.com/reels/DTNmsY-jEFP/    Dann der DFB-Pokal-Auslosungsschmerz: Hertha fährt nach Saarbrücken (Dennis' Frau hat Samstag Geburtstag – Prioritäten!), Dortmund muss zum HEBC (Henry hat die zufällig schon gescoutet, 13. der Oberliga Hamburg) und das echte Pulverfass heißt Waldhof Mannheim gegen Kaiserslautern – laut Dougi „vorne dran auf jeden Fall asozial".   Bei den Vereinen sonst dünn: Eichhorn will weiter jeder, keiner zahlt, Krabownik geht, drei Teenager debütieren beim BVB.   Großes WM-Quiz: Deschamps, das Leeds-United-Trainer-Trio, Dick Advocaats Länder-Sammelalbum und Richarlison als Name-ohne-Vornamen-Brasilianer. Danach das große Gruppen-Durchtippen von A bis L: Henry würde halbe Gruppen würfeln, Mü ist Serien-Partycrasher (Australien! Österreich!), Dennis erklärt die Niederlande zur Enttäuschung des Turniers und Brini knackt das Kicktipp-System so kreativ, dass sie als Erste Hausverbot riskiert.   Zum Schluss WM-Vibes pur: Dennis fliegt direkt ins Azteken-(nicht Theken-)Stadion zum Mexiko-Eröffnungsspiel, während sich vor der Küste ein „Harry Cane" zusammenbraut. Das US-Testspiel war ein Fiebertraum mit Düsenjets, Buffet am Spielfeldrand und Fans, denen das Abseits per Stadionmikro „präsentiert von Coca-Cola" erklärt wird. Dougies Auftrag an die Spieler: Ball volle Lotte ins Buffet! Tippspiel läuft (Schnaps, Rucksäcke, VIP-Tickets Deutschland–Niederlande), und Dennis packt für sieben Wochen seine Badelatschen ein. Ohne Socken.

Neue Titelmelodie, gute Laune, keiner hat verloren – muss an der Jahreszeit liegen. In Folge 160 startet Biene, Ritter, Bär offiziell in den WM-Modus: mit neuem Partnersong von 9mm Headshot („Endlich wieder Weltmeister"), der sich bei allen dreien als Dauerohrwurm festgesetzt hat, einer Trikot-Schlacht, die in Mode-Beleidigungen eskaliert, und einem Dennis, der in genau einer Woche in Richtung Mexiko abhebt – nach mexikanischer Zeit ist er schon da, nach deutscher noch nicht mal in Dallas.   Biene Ritter Bär unterstützen:  Per Überweisung an: Hippo mit Horn e.K. IBAN IE07SUMU99036510368345 BIC SUMUIE22XXX Per Paypal    Zwischen Breaking News (Thomas Müller hat sich getrennt – schöne Grüße an Brini) und 1860 München, das mangels Lizenz in die Regionalliga durchgereicht wird, gibt's die letzten Vereins-Splitter: Bei Union wackelt die Kaufoption für Nsoki und Stürmer Chris Bedia kehrt aus Bern zurück (22 Tore, kann ja eigentlich nichts schiefgehen). Bei Dortmund verbringt Alex Popp das nächste Jahr in der Regionalliga und Eichhorn verlangt neun Millionen Handgeld - Mü würde dem Berater eine Briefmarke auf den Hintern kleben.   Henrys Quiz beweist nebenbei, dass die halbe Premier League von Basken trainiert wird, und Edin Terzic landet ausgerechnet bei Bilbao.   Dann der Bildungsteil: Ein Punkt in der Premier League kostet 11 Millionen Euro – das Vierfache der Bundesliga. Schiedsrichter Siebert pfeift ein überragendes CL-Finale, fährt aber natürlich nicht zur WM. Und in Portugal gewinnt mit União Torreense tatsächlich ein Zweitligist den Pokal – live ergoogelt im „absoluten Bildungspodcast", inklusive Geständnis, dass nicht gegoogelt, sondern gekickert wurde.   Großes Thema: der deutsche WM-Kader. Mü würde Nagelsmann fast entlassen (Neuer, Sané und Rüdiger seien nur drei Best Buddies), Henry ist nach dem Sieg gegen die „Eishockey-Mannschaft aus Finnland" versöhnter. Und die Gretchenfrage Brown oder Raum eskaliert standesgemäß: Bist du Brown, kriegst du Frauen. Prognose Gruppe E: Henry und Dennis tippen sieben Punkte, Mü mutig nur vier.   Zum Schluss das große WM-Trikot-Ranking – drei Männer diskutieren über Mode, was bekanntlich herrlich ist. Henrys Nummer 1 ist Japan weiß (Dennis: „sieht aus, als hätten Kinder mit Bleistift draufgemalt"), Mü feiert Norwegen schwarz, Dennis schwört auf Uruguay (Stichwort: Nike-verrückt). Einig sind sich alle nur beim hässlichsten Trikot: USA Heim und das Schweizer Auswärtshemd.   Unser WM-Kicktipp für Euch zum Mitmachen und (Mampe)-Gewinnen: https://www.kicktipp.de/biene-ritter-baer   Unser Partnersong von 9mm Headshot - "Endlich wieder Weltmeister": https://youtu.be/R8d1OUnVr-E?si=sShJLiqEVI7qLQya   Unser Youtube Channel mit Trikots zum Sehen: https://www.youtube.com/@BieneRitterB%C3%A4r    Trikots zum Ansehen: https://www.footballkitarchive.com/world-cup-kits-2026-l308/ oder https://www.flashscore.co.uk/news/football-world-cup-which-teams-have-already-released-their-kits-for-the-2026-world-cup/4fQyMN7C/    Das Team:  Henry Spietweh ist Autor und Podcaster aus Berlin, Unioner seit den 90ern.

Christy Ramsey Hey, it’s Trinity Sunday. Thanks for coming out of your family events and gatherings and celebrations. I’m glad you’re all in your Trinity finest gear. That’s wonderful. Great, great. It’s a really bad Sunday to preach, on Trinity Sunday. There’s nothing. There’s nothing there. I don’t blame Donna for leaving the state. I mean, I’d get far away from the pulpit, too, if I could. Trinity Sunday is about as exciting as looking at your phone and say, “Spam likely.” That guy again. They’re always calling. Or, you know, worse is, “This is your insurance company. We’d like to talk to you about some explanation of your benefits.” Oh. That’s right up there with Trinity Sunday preacher, I’ll tell you. Hey, I bet you didn’t know something. Trinity Sunday is with us every Sunday. I bet you didn’t know this. I bet up here, you know, way before we had these screens – whoo, nifty neat-o, we had screens in church for centuries. We just called it “stained glass.” So I just wanted people saying, oh, I don’t like this new stuff, hey, stained glass has been around for centuries. I don’t know what you’re talking about. So up here – I don’t know if I’m allowed up here, I’m destroying things – I don’t know if you can see it. This is actually a symbol of the Trinity. Everything’s clear now; isn’t it. No, it’s not. But here they’ve got God in the middle. Come up later, if you’re allowed. I don’t know if you’re allowed. But come up later. Árni Dagur, CC0, via Wikimedia Commons They’ve got a dais in the middle, God. And then they’ve got Holy Spirit here, Father up there, Son up there, Father over there on the three. And then they’ve got little connection things. Spirit is not the Father, Father is not the Son, Son is not the Spirit. And then they all go to the middle, they’re all “Is God, Is God, Is God.” Okay. We can pack it up. We’re done. Everybody understands the Trinity now. That’s great. Super. Don’t be telling people you’ve got a fidget spinner in stained glass at your church. I mean, well, unless you want to. People think, oh, that’s pretty cool. I think I’m coming, yeah. Not a fidget spinner. All right. Way back in the 5th Century, there was a guy, his name was Augustine of Hippo. I don’t know. I don’t know, you know, if he was a portly man. But they called him Hippo. I think that’s where he lived. Unfortunate if he was portly. That would have been bad. He said this: “Si comprehendis, non est Deus.” And what that is translated from the Latin is, If you think you understand God, what you understand is not God. - Augustine of Hippo Well, that’s helpful, Augustine. He’s saying if you understand something, then you don’t understand it. The parts you understand about God is not something you understand. The difference between stupid and intelligent people — and this is true whether or not they are well-educated — is that intelligent people can handle subtlety. They are not baffled by ambiguous or even contradictory situations — in fact, they expect them and are apt to become suspicious when things seem overly straightforward. - Neal Stephenson, The Diamond Age: Or, a Young Lady’s Illustrated Primer (1995). And we have a quote up here from a more recent philosopher. Good old Neal Stephenson, author of “Snow Crash,” any classic science fiction – no, nothing. Oh. No, you’re just scratching. Okay. The difference between stupid and intelligent people, and this is true whether or not they are well educated, is that intelligent people can handle subtle – Bill, what’s that word? BILL: Subtlety. PASTOR RAMSEY: Subtlety. Thank you, Bill. That’s why I brought him in here, roped him up to give me that word. Thank you. Subtlety. And they are not baffled by ambiguous or even contradictory situations. Whoo. In fact, they expect them. And they’re apt to become suspicious when things seem overly straightforward. Yeah. Intelligent people are not baffled by ambiguous or even contradictory situations. In fact, they expect them. And they’re suspicious if things are too simple. You’re all intelligent people now; right? Okay. Because you all heard Trinity stuff, oh, the shamrock thing. Who’s heard of the sham – don’t put your hands up. Who’s heard this? Because that’s a heresy. I don’t want you to put your hands up, then let it go, ooh. Not TrinityShamrock, you know, the three in the Trinity, one plant, three things. Sometimes even I said this, and I was wrong, that’s modality, that’s a heresy. This is, like, should be called Heresy Sunday because it’s so easy to slip in heresy when you’re trying to talk about the Trinity. When you’re talking about, you know, oh, it’s like steam and liquid water and ice, you know. No, it’s not. It’s modality. And it’s not even Father, Son, Holy Spirit, you know. As much as Presbyterians love committees, love them, God is not a committee. It’s not like they vote and come together, two out of three goes, you know, none of that. It’s not like, you know, like loving, loved, and beloved, or all these other things that people try to make into some kind of social community rolling around kind of thing inside a God, and that’s Trinity. Just about anything – just like our friend Augustine found out. You know, every time you try to describe a Trinity, you’re probably not describing the Trinity. You’re not describing God. If you think you understand it, you got it wrong. What are we to do? What are we to do? Well, we’re intelligent people. We can handle things that are contradictory or complex or not clear or not simply explained. We can handle that. I mean, you know, they just don’t let anybody in the Episcopal Church; right? There is a little test you’ve got to do before you get in; right? I’m sure there is. They haven’t caught me yet. Ha. It’s like when I go to Trader Joe’s. Does anybody go to Trader Joe’s? I go in there. I am not good-looking enough to be at Trader Joe’s up there in [totsy?] land. They’re going to kick me out because I go, wow, what are these people? Wow. Everybody comes down from Tahoe, and they’re nice? But we can handle it. And we’ve got stories here. We’ve got scriptures here that tell us about complexity. And you can come to these scriptures and be confused. You can come to the Trinity and be confused. And what confused? Well, I don’t understand it, and I should. It’s not good for me. I’m upset. Well, then you’re not intelligent. Here’s a thought. Instead of being confused, be in awe. Instead of being upset you don’t understand something, be in wonder of the glory of God. Because you look at the creation story, and was that a big creation story? You know, I was talking to – that’s a lot of scripture. You know, that’s a big hunk there. And, well, you know, he created the entire universe, you know, give him a chapter. You know, come on. So you look at that, and we’re so familiar with it that we just blow it on by; you know? The first creation story, you know, there’s a – every now and then, God created the Heavens and the Earth, and it was so. You know, that “and” is doing a heck of a lot of work. You look all the way through it, he says something, and it was so. Says something, and God said it was good. Said something, and God said it was good. You know, that “and” is like a billion years of time and space in that “and.” I mean, we’re just skipping over a whole lot of stuff that we would like to understand in that “and.” I’m telling you, all of our scientific endeavor is trying to figure out that “and” bit, between God says it’s going to happen and then he said it was good. We want to know between the “and.” We don’t have to. We don’t have to be confused by complications. And that’s why we had the whole big, you know, some people say, well, you have the Trinity in there because, you know, in the story of Genesis, God is referred to as “we,” in the plural. So that’s the Trinity there. Okay, that’s kind of a reach. I mean, you know, when the King of England or Queen of England says “We are not amused,” they’re not talking that they’re the Trinity, you know, there’s a “royal we” kind of thing. But I like to think they picked that out, the little lectionary elves picked that up because here’s another thing we don’t understand. You’ve got the Trinity. Everybody’s confused. Let’s throw in the creation story, too, just so long as we’re doing a confusion Sunday. But it doesn’t have to be confusion. It could be wonder. Saying, look at all those wonderful things God’s done. You know, God just didn’t do it. I think it’s very important in our times. God said it was good. So when people tell you other people are bad or these people aren’t good enough or these people are below us or beneath us or don’t have the right to be here, or don’t have the right to exist, or should pull themselves up by their own – remember what God said. God said it was good. It was good. People are good. God doesn’t make trash is what they used to say. But not only that, God makes people good. That’s complex. That’s wondering. That’s confusing. We want to understand it, want to dissect it, want to have the PowerPoints. But nope. Just got to go with God is good. God made the world good. God made people good. So if something’s bad in the world, guess what? Guess whose that is? That’s us. Enough of that. Let’s go on to the psalm. Psalm’s great; isn’t it? Psalms? Psalm is great for wonder. Because, you know, you go out there, and you don’t hear the quantum mechanics and the astrophysics of how all the stars are made and move and go and come and red shift and dopplers and all this other stuff. Psalm just goes out there and says, why is God caring about me? In all this, God cares about us. In its infinite vastness of the universe, God cares about us. That’s wonder. Not confusion. It’s living in the joy and in the wonder. It’s a wonderful time. Not a confusing time. I’m angry because God didn’t check it out with me before God went on and did God things. God did explain everything to God. And that goes right on. We’re running now. Keep up with me. That goes right on to the epistle where Paul says – gives it grace, and says, “Grace of the father,” and “Grace of the Lord Jesus Christ,” the love and fellowship. And you say, how do we get together on that? Does one come, and then they do like a costume change or put on a different mask or get on a collar? Instead of an open-collar shift they put on a collar with a thing. And then they come out and do the other thing, but it’s the same person. You know, Christy’s sitting in the pew saying Christy up in the collar. No, that’s all heresy. You’ve got to approach that with wonder and say, wow. Look at all that. The love, the grace, the fellowship. It’s all there. I don’t know how it all works, but I’m sure glad it does. Kind of like the way I treat my car. I don’t know how it works. I’m sure glad it moves and goes places. And then the last one, the gospel. In the gospel, don’t you love the disciples? You’ve got to really look at the disciples because they’re a bunch of bumbling fools; you know? And I feel better about myself the more I read about the disciples because I said, if those guys can make it, I’ve got a shot; you know. I’ve got at least a shot. Because they’re in there, you know, here they are, they’re in the end of the ministry, been hanging out with Jesus. I mean, you and me think, oh, if we had met Jesus, we would be onboard. We would be 100% Jesus; you know? But, you know, the disciples, they were there the whole time. And they said, hey, we’re worshiping him. But some doubted. I go, what’s with these guys? You know? And I said, “I feel better about myself because sometimes, you know, maybe I have a doubt or two; you know? Things happen.” But it wasn’t like, okay, Jesus didn’t say, oh, let me explain it all to you and answer all your doubts. We’ll have a town hall. You can all yell at me about how you’re upset about the way I’m running the church, and I’ll explain it to you. We’ll all come into a wonderful happy agreement, and I’ll tell you all the things. No, he said, he knows he had doubt. He says, “Go therefore and go out and do good things. Go out there and make disciples of all the nations. Tell everybody to love one another. Tell them to love their enemies. Tell them to love the stranger.” Oh, no, you’re getting political. “Tell them to love the stranger. Tell them to love the soldier in your land. Tell them that God loves everyone. Tell them that God made everything good. Even countries that aren’t ours are still good.” [Gasp] Political again. He didn’t wait. He didn’t explain it. He didn’t give them the why. He didn’t answer their doubts. He just took them. He just expected them. Show up, doubts and all. Come on in. Come as you are. And these people were disciples. I mean, you know, they’ve got logos and stained glass and people praying to them and stuff. Still doubts. There’s hope for us. We don’t have to be sure and understand everything and remember our good old friend, Fat Man Augustine, that says, “If you think you understand, you don’t understand.” Huh. Huh. I feel better about that. And remember about our favorite science fiction with Neal there, Stephenson, said, “We like to think of ourselves as intelligent people. We don’t expect to understand stuff. We’re okay if things are contradictory.” You know a contradictory thing is, it’s when a teenager – anyone had experience with teenagers? Been a teenager? I was talking to someone, there’s a church that’s misbehaving. They called me in. Ah, there’s a wonder. I’ve got to tell you. Saying come in. And he said, “What are we going to do about this person?” And I go, well, you know, they’re doing everything we asked. Everything we told them to do, they’re doing. They’re just yelling and screaming about it and writing letters about how horrible it is. And that’s kind of like the teenager that you tell them to go up to their room, and they’re going up to their room yelling and screaming at you the whole way. You know? “Why is it so unfair?” They’re going to their room, you know, so you they’re kind of sort of getting it. You know, moving toward obedience, even though they’re yelling about it. And we can handle that as intelligent people. As adult people we can say, “Yeah, that’s kind of messed up, mixed up, crazy there. But, yeah, pretty good mostly. We’re all right. We can handle the creation story.” How did all that happen in one day? That “and” thing is just really blowing my mind between the I’m going to do this, now it’s done. Wait a minute. What’s the middle? We’re okay with that. Mostly. We’re okay with I have some doubts and don’t know everything. Well, that’s okay, go out and tell everybody to love everybody, and that God loves them. Even with the doubts? Yeah, even with the doubts. Do ahead and do that. We so much want to understand stuff. It’s why we keep making heresies out of the Trinity because we try to understand it, we can’t understand it because it’s the basis of God, and we get all upset and try to make it simple. Try to make it into a shamrock, or try to make it into a, you know, the ice cube tray in the refrigerator, you know, the automatic ice cube stuff. How does that work? It’s not what we should do. We’re not supposed to understand it, and that is kind of a little scary for people that aren’t intelligent. I’m complimenting you here now. I’m believing you’re all intelligent people, and you expect to not know everything and be okay with that and be in wonder. Well, how does that work out in a romcom from the 1990s, Christy? I know that is a question everybody asks. Everybody asks. Sure, he’s a good preacher, but what about a romcom from the ‘90s? I need that romcom. I want you to take a look at “Groundhog Day.” This is Rita. Rita is going somewhere between confusion and wonder here. She has questions of she thought she knew this guy, Bill Murray, who’s playing Phil Connors. Thought she knew this guy. And then things happen. And then she has a choice about whether she’s going to get the long or short version of what everything is. Or whether she’s going to commit herself and all that she has to the wonder that is Phil Connors. Rita didn’t need all her questions answered, either the short or the long version, to commit $339.88, her total net worth, I imagine, to be into the wonder of Phil Connors. We do not need the long or short version of the Trinity to know when something good has been created, and that we are invited into relationship with. Take that as your Trinity Sunday sermon. Amen.

What happens if the government finally tells the world the truth about UFOs and UAPs? Would Christianity collapse…or has the Church already wrestled with these questions for centuries?In this episode of The Caffeinated Christian Podcast, Pastor Mike Wrigglesworth and Ryan Willert dive deep into the recent Trump-era UAP declassification buzz, Perry Stone's controversial claims about pastors allegedly being briefed on UFO disclosures, and the growing cultural obsession with aliens, the paranormal, and “higher intelligence.”The conversation explores:The difference between UFOs and UAPsWhy modern culture is searching for transcendence againWhether aliens would actually threaten ChristianityHistorical Christian thinkers on extraterrestrial lifeThe dangers of conspiracy culture and fear-driven theologyNaturalism vs. supernaturalismThe “interdimensional hypothesis”Why Christians should approach these topics with wisdom instead of panicWhat Scripture actually says (and doesn't say) about alien lifeFrom C. S. Lewis and Augustine of Hippo to modern debates surrounding Perry Stone and President Donald Trump, this episode tackles one of the internet's most fascinating and controversial conversations through a biblical lens.If you've ever wondered:“Could aliens exist?”“Are UFOs demonic?”“Would extraterrestrials disprove Christianity?”“What should Christians believe about UAPs?”…this episode is for you.

We've all been in that meeting: the one where everyone nods along and nobody says the thing they're actually thinking. That's not a personality flaw. It's a bias. This episode of the Cognition Catalog breaks down social desirability and what it's quietly costing your team.Have you ever walked out of a meeting knowing you should have said something, and then watched the project stumble over the exact problem nobody brought up?This week on the Cognition Catalog, we're talking about social desirability bias, and no, this one isn't just about user research. It shows up in every standup, every retro, every meeting where somebody asks "any concerns?" and the room goes quiet. Most teams deal with this constantly. They just don't have a name for it.Social desirability bias operates through two mechanisms: impression management, the conscious effort to present yourself favorably when you feel like you're being evaluated, and self-deceptive enhancement, a subtler, largely unconscious tendency to give positively biased responses without even realizing it. The tricky part is that it doesn't feel like a bias when you're in it, it feels like reading the room. It feels like being a team player. The cost shows up later, usually in a missed dependency or a launch that underperforms for reasons everyone saw coming.This episode gets into why honest cultures aren't built through value statements, why the HiPPO effect makes all of this worse, and what you can actually do to start closing the gap between what your team thinks and what they're willing to say out loud. If you've ever left a meeting with more to say than you actually said, this one's for you. Give it a listen.Topics:• 03:36 - What social desirability looks like at the team level.• 04:32 - Why it doesn't feel like a bias when you're in it.• 05:19 - The two mechanisms: impression management and self-deceptive enhancement.• 05:50 - The research behind the bias (Edwards, Crown & Marlowe).• 06:24 - When self-presentation slides into self-deception.• 06:49 - How team norms shape what people say — and remember.• 07:57 - The HiPPO effect and why it makes everything worse.• 08:27 - How toxic environments turn up the pressure.• 09:02 - Why honest cultures aren't built through value statements.• 09:29 - Notice when your team is performing instead of communicating.• 10:01 - Build structures that reward honesty.• 10:29 - Notice when you're performing agreement yourself.• 10:55 - Push past the summary and into the specifics.• 11:20 - Lower the social cost of being wrong.—Thanks for listening!

Back again! This week on the show, the campaign trail is heating up and the candidate forums are stacking up faster than yard signs in a South Dakota windstorm. We get into the governor's race chaos, the “Rhino Revenge Tour,” Toby Doeden vs. John Hansen intrigue, and the growing wave of AI-generated political attacks flooding social media. Lieutenant Governor Tony Venhuizen joins the show to talk debates, life as a running mate already tied to the ballot, and what it's like balancing official duties with campaign season pressure. Plus, Senator Michael Rohl delivers one of the most brutally honest breakdowns yet of the GOP governor primary field and the behind-the-scenes tensions driving it.We also plug into the Sioux Falls mayor race, the bizarre hammer-wielding city council invocation making the rounds online, and the return of familiar faces in the Attorney General contest. District 10 candidate John Pullman talks campaign fundamentals, knocking every corner of one of the state's most competitive districts, and why retail politics still matters in the AI era. And of course, we close with the official launch of Task Force HIPPO: the Hippo Infrastructure Plan for Profit and Opportunity, because apparently the dream of bringing Pablo Escobar's hippos to South Dakota is now entering the policy phase. Just another normal week in South Dakota politics.@DakotaTownHall@Jakeshoenbeck@MurdocJ Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

What Can Lead a Weary Soul to the Divine in a Post-Christian World?   Malcolm Guite is back for part two of our chat with him, and this time we go from atheism to awe, from the Psalms to the Holy Grail, and from Keats to King Arthur. Malcolm tells the wild story of how poetry cracked open his imagination and shattered his unbelief, leading him into the living presence of God — then shows why Galahad and the Grail might be the ancient, weird, luminous story our burned-out, disenchanted world needs now.   Listen to Malcolm Guite pt. 1: Does Theology Need an Imaginative Spark to Grasp God's Mystery?   Sign up for The After Party Informational Webinars   Mentioned In This Episode: Malcolm Guite's Galahad in the Grail Malcolm Guite's Epiphany 1 The magi Malcolm Guite's Sounding the Seasons C.S.

One of the most influential theologians of the early church was Augustine of Hippo. Love him or hate him, Christians cannot escape his influence. This…

One of the great forefathers of our Christian faith was Augustine of Hippo, who lived from 354 to 430 AD. You may know him as Saint Augustine. Perhaps you've even read some of his writing, including his Confessions, which is his autobiography, and the City of God. His conversion story is fairly well known, as his mother had diligently prayed  seventeen years for her son to come to faith in Jesus Christ. Recently, I've been reading a little book of quotes from Augustine, and I ran across these words from one of his sermons. I believe they're good words to inform the way we parent: "Good superiors rebuke those who stir up strife, comfort those of little courage, take the part of the weak, refute opponents, and guard against traps. They teach the ignorant, awake the indolent, put the presumptuous in their place, mollify the quarrelsome, help the poor, liberate the oppressed, encourage the good, suffer the wicked, and love everyone." Parents, love your children well!

Have you ever felt you were in a season of "steeping" while you waited? In this special Mother's Day episode, Cynthia L Simmons invites you to grab a cup of hot tea and step back 1700 years into history to discover the life of one of the most resilient mothers who ever lived: St Monica. The world remembers her son, Augustine of Hippo, yet few people realize the thirty years of tears she shed before she saw the harvest of her prayers. Maybe you are navigating a storm of your own or have a prodigal you long to see return. Just like a good cup of tea, the most profound impact takes time to develop. You'll enjoy the encouragement and comfort as you listen.

Indirect peace talks between Iran and the U.S. have stalled. Iran's Foreign Minister met with Pakistani mediators today, but a U.S. delegation did not. President Donald Trump abruptly cancelled that trip, throwing fresh uncertainty over the already bumpy efforts to end the war.Also: In Labrador, a years long inquiry into the deaths of six Innu youth is moving toward its final phases. They died at different times, and from different causes. But they all shared one thing: they were part of the child protection system. And this week, a report presented to the inquiry highlights how that system fails Innu children.And: With its tropical climate and verdant landscape, Colombia is the perfect breeding ground for coffee, avocados, and...hippos! The amphibious mammals were first brought there by a drug lord decades ago. Now, they're an environmental hazard. You'll hear about the drastic steps the Colombian government is taking to control their hippo problem. Plus: Ontario agriculture faces flooding risk, Reforming paternity leave in Italy, Akheem Mesidor becomes first round draft pick for the NFL, and more.

Did John Calvin faithfully follow Augustine of Hippo, or did he selectively use him for Reformation purposes?In this episode of FACTS, we examine the real historical relationship between Calvin and Augustine on grace, justification, the Church, apostolic succession, the Eucharist, prayer for the dead, and purgatory.Many claim Augustine was basically Protestant before the Reformation. But is that anachronistic? The better question may be whether Calvin was truly a good Augustinian.We walk through direct quotations, historical context, and where Calvin aligns with Augustine—and where he sharply departs.Topics include:Augustine on grace and free willCalvin on predestination and human inabilityJustification: made righteous or counted righteousAuthority of the Catholic ChurchThe Eucharist and sacramental realismPrayer for the deadPurgatorial purificationWas Augustine closer to Catholicism or Calvinism?If you'd like to donate to our ministry or be a monthly partner that receives newsletters and one on one discussions with Dr. Stephen Boyce, here's a link: https://give.tithe.ly/?formId=6381a2ee-b82f-42a7-809e-6b733cec05a7#Augustine #JohnCalvin #Reformation #ChurchHistory #Catholic #Protestant #Calvinism #Theology #Eucharist #Purgatory #EarlyChurch #FACTSPodcast

They discuss the polarization of U.S. Christianity and the supposed Gen-Z “religious revival.” In Signs of the Times, Ashley and Zac discuss some highlights from Pope Leo's trip to Africa; what Pope Leo called the not-exactly-accurate media narrative around him and President Trump; and the first anniversary of Pope Francis' death. 00:00 A Gen-Z religious revival? 3:38 Highlights of Pope Leo's trip to Africa 10:05 VP Vance questions Pope Leo's theology 20:37 Remembering Pope Francis 22:50 Moderate Christianity is vanishing 25:49 U.S. religion is coded "conservative" 34:54 Catholic demographic trends 37:15 Political implications 40:53 Are young people going back to church? 48:18 Winner churches 52:56 Gen-Z religious trads 1:04:08 Faith Sharing: Pope Francis' humble tomb Links: ⁠Order Ryan's book, The Vanishing Church⁠ ⁠Graphs about Religion⁠ ⁠Pope Leo walks in the footsteps of St. Augustine in Hippo⁠ ⁠Pope Leo denounces those who use the name God for military gain⁠ ⁠Pope Leo named one of Time magazine's ‘100 Most Influential People of 2026'⁠ ⁠Pope Leo remembers ‘the great gift' of Pope Francis on the first anniversary of his death⁠ You can follow us on ⁠X⁠ and on ⁠Instagram⁠ @jesuiticalshow.   You can find us on Facebook at ⁠facebook.com/groups/jesuitical.⁠  Please consider supporting Jesuitical by becoming a digital subscriber to America magazine at ⁠americamagazine.org/subscribe⁠ Learn more about your ad choices.

Introduction I don't know how many of you have ever heard of a woman by the name of Monica of Hippo. You may have heard of her son, Augustine. Augustine was one of the early church fathers, but he did not start out that way. He actually was a very wicked young man. He lived a life of sexual immorality…

Hour 1 opens with criticism of local media framing around ICE enforcement, sparking a broader discussion on immigration language, followed by debates on New York tax policy and wealth migration trends tied to Tax Day. Speculation about a possible Justice Alito retirement adds Supreme Court stakes early, before the hour closes on rising gas prices driven by refinery limits and regulatory pressure. Hour 2 blends personal moments and lighter content with political and media themes, starting with birthday wishes and sports talk featuring Magic Johnson and early Cardinals season analysis with Tom Ackerman. The discussion returns to immigration coverage disputes, before shifting into an “In Other News” segment featuring a fatal surgical error case, a humanoid robot chasing wild boars in Poland, energy drink litigation involving a teen death claim, and a sheriff's deputy reportedly using a dating app during a SWAT standoff. Hour 3 centers on a Pentagon briefing describing an intensified blockade strategy against Iran targeting maritime movement, ports, and energy infrastructure as part of a broader pressure campaign tied to nuclear deterrence. Former Senator Jim Talent frames the strategy as a coordinated military, diplomatic, and economic squeeze aimed at collapsing Iran's coercive capacity, while Tim Graham criticizes media bias and political framing in coverage of U.S. foreign policy. The hour closes with a BBC undercover investigation exposing alleged UK asylum fraud schemes involving advisors coaching migrants to falsify claims. Hour 4 begins with reports of ships being turned away under the ongoing Iran blockade, followed by Supreme Court analysis from Shannon Bream on tensions over emergency rulings and judicial authority. Additional legal discussion includes political fallout surrounding Eric Swalwell. Griff Jenkins then details Colombia's Escobar-era hippos, now an out-of-control invasive species prompting government culling plans. The show closes with criticism of media bias and Secretary Pete Hegseth's confrontation with the press over coverage of U.S. military operations and narrative framing.

If your weekly calendar looks like the loser in a state fair quilt competition - just solid blocks of mismatched colors with no room to breathe - this episode is for you. Today, we're joined by facilitation expert Evan Unger to talk about a topic that Kate and Kim geek out over: meetings. Specifically, why most of them are terrible, how they drain organizational productivity, and exactly what you can do to fix yours. We also tackle one of the most delicate situations in project management: how to handle the HIPPO (Highest Paid Person's Opinion) when they barge into your meeting and try to completely take over the flight controls. Grab a drink, settle in, and let's get into it.

Summary In this episode, Andy sits down with Evan Unger, a consultant and trainer who has spent more than 30 years helping leaders facilitate collaborative decision making across projects, programs, and organizations around the world. Evan's work focuses on helping groups move forward when opinions differ, tension is present, and time is limited. This conversation is packed with immediately actionable ideas. Andy and Evan dig into why even experienced leaders struggle in high-stakes meetings, and how Evan's POPRA model (Purpose, Objectives, Process, Roles, Agreements) can transform the way you prepare and run them. They talk about how to manage the "HIPPO" (Highest Paid Person's Opinion) without suppressing the voices you most need to hear, a simple virtual technique called the simultaneous chat that can change the dynamic of any online meeting, and how to make sure your meetings actually land, with clear action items and time to close things out properly. Evan also shares his perspective on where AI fits in the future of facilitation, and some surprisingly personal advice about what he'd tell his younger self. If you're looking for practical, immediately usable tools to run better meetings and lead more collaborative decisions, this episode is for you! Sound Bites "On a scale of zero to a hundred percent, how effective are the meetings you attend? On average, and I can't tell you most of the time I get a number below 60% and often much lower." "My confusion as a leader, as a project manager, is immediately the confusion of the group because the group goes to where I'm at. And if I'm confused, welcome to what's about to happen in your meeting: Confusion, Chaos, Dysfunction." "The other extreme, and this is truly the art of leadership, is even though I have strong opinions as the project manager, I remain completely neutral, but I'm an expert in process, an expert in how I get other experts to come together, collaborate, make decisions, get 'em to buy in." "If I'm the HIPPO and I run the meeting as the expert, I will suppress conversation. People will not tell me what I need to know to make the decision, and I'm going to sub-optimize decisions, and I'm not going get people to buy in." "So the art of leadership is knowing how to start and work from the right side of the continuum where I'm an expert in the process of getting others to collaborate and asking questions to elicit their thinking." "If I'm not hearing from people as the facilitator of the collaborative conversation, that is a first sign that something's gone awry and I need to know how to hold space." "The meeting's purpose and objectives, that's the first tether, the first anchor. If that's not clear, there is no tool or technique that is going to save me." "Time is fuel. And we have limited fuel in the plane flight. When time is running out, we don't go knock on the cockpit and say to the pilot, fly faster." "People say to me, 'Evan, I've got Copilot now. I got these AIs doing all the monitoring and tracking'. It's like, yeah, great, but you can't trust what it said. You still have to come back and say, 'Do we all agree what we decided and where we go from here?'" "The five points were: 1, learn Spanish and become fluent in Spanish. 2, become fluent in Mandarin. 3, make sure you get a hard sciences or engineering degree when you go to school. Do it. Take all the liberal arts courses you want, but have something that people actually want. 4, go do a 10-day silent meditation as soon as you get out of school. And 5, take a backpack when you get out of school. Travel the world for a year.... That list is now down to two points." "The plan is now to find something that can't be AI'd out of existence." "But really, the art of being a good coach, a good consultant, a good parent, a good manager is querying the people to help them figure out their own answer."
