Peacewarts: Dept. of Chronicled Courage - The Myth of Inevitable War (Class 2) We deconstruct the lie that humans are biologically destined for combat. By examining archaeological records and the "Long Peace" of 1815-1914, we prove that peace is a deliberate, high-maintenance labor and the actual "default" of human history. Homework: Look up the Aaland Islands dispute of 1921 or the Concert of Europe and find one diplomatic tool they used to prevent a fight. Write down one question about any of this episode's topics. If you don't have a question, write “no question.” Optional: Think about your own "natural" reactions to conflict. When have you felt "hard-wired" to argue, but chose to pause instead? Was that pause "passive," or was it an act of labor? Learning Topics: The 100-Year Peace (1815–1914) and "Congress Diplomacy;” The Aaland Islands Dispute (1921) as a model for cancelled conflict; Archaeological evidence: Challenging the 2% violence myth; The political purpose of the "Inevitability Myth;” Human nature as a capacity for choice, not a destiny for violence.

Peacewarts: Chronicled Courage 101 - Peace Erasure & Jeannette Rankin (Class 1) We transition into the archives to study history as a lineage of persistence. This class defines "Erasure" as a political tool and examines the Jeannette Rankin Brigade (1968) and JFK's "Strategy of Peace" as case studies in recovered memory and the "Great Refusal." Homework: Look upthe Jeannette Rankin Brigade or the 1963 American University Speech and find one detail that isn't typically taught in a standard history class. Write down one questionabout any of this episode's topics. If you don't have a question, write "no question." Optional: Think of a time you were told something was "inevitable." Looking back, was it actually inevitable, or was there a path of refusal you didn't see at the time? Learning Topics: The Mission of the Hall of Records; Erasure vs. Realism: How curated memory shapes our expectations of conflict; The Jeannette Rankin Brigade (1968): A 50-year bridge of anti-war activism; The Great Refusal: Rankin's votes in 1917 and 1941 as principled alternatives to the military-industrial complex; The Burial of Traditional Womanhood: The radical shift in 1968 activism.

Peacewarts: Living Roots 101 - Subsistence as Dignity (Class 14) We conclude our journey in the Department of Living Roots by reframing subsistence not as a state of poverty, but as the highest form of dignity and freedom. We explore how dependency has been used as a weapon through the get big or get out era and the cultural construction of peasant shame. By examining the resilience of Cuba's organopónicos and the concept of time sovereignty, we establish that food autonomy is the ultimate form of disarmament, removing the primary levers of coercion and violence from society.

Peacewarts: Dept. of Living Roots - Planned Obsolescence & the Logic of War (Class 11) We examine how the "throwaway culture" of modern economics conditions us to accept human expendability. This class explores the link between the Rana Plaza disaster and precarious labor, the role of e-waste in Agbogbloshie, and how military "use-it-or-lose-it" logic mirrors consumer waste.

Peacewarts: Living Roots 101 - Water Rights & Watersheds (Class 8) We explore the "Functional Peace" of the Indus Waters Treaty. Despite three wars, India and Pakistan have maintained this water agreement for over 60 years. This class examines how shared water management creates a "biological floor" that can survive even the most intense political hostilities, and asks: if we can cooperate to share water, why can't we cooperate to share the world?

Peacewarts: Dept. of Living Roots - The Time It Takes (Class 7) We explore Slowness as a foundational strategy for peace. By contrasting the 500-year cycle of topsoil creation with the frantic pace of modern markets, we discuss how "Ecological Time" prevents extractive panic. We highlight the Iroquois Seventh Generation Principle as a masterclass in deliberate deceleration and long-term security. Homework: Look up the"Great Law of the Haudenosaunee" and find one other example of how they prioritized the long-term health of the community over short-term gain.

Peacewarts: Living Roots 101 - The Victory Garden Myth (Class 5) We reframe the "Victory Garden" as a blueprint for community independence rather than a tool of war. We look at the staggering 40% production levels of 1943 and the Russian Dacha system—where 3% of the land produces over 80% of the vegetables. We discuss how nutritional sovereignty is a fundamental requirement for a peaceful society and a direct form of disarmament. Homework: Look up the"Russian Dacha movement" and find one statistic on how much food these small plots produce compared to industrial farms. Write down one question you have about home gardens or any topic in this episode.

Peacewarts: Living Roots 101 - Hunger as a Weapon (Class 4) We examine the brutal history of manufactured famine as a tactical instrument of war. From the Holodomor to the "soft power" of the 1960s Food for Peace program, this class teaches scholars how to recognize when hunger is being used as a logistical weapon of control and why local agricultural sovereignty is a vital peace strategy.

Peacewarts: Living Roots 101 - The Scarcity Script (Class 3) Episode Summary: We explore how the concept of "shortage" is used as a psychological and political tool to justify war. This class examines the history of the Enclosure Acts, the chemical dependency of modern agriculture, and the "Food as a Weapon" strategy to reveal how scarcity is often a manufactured policy rather than a biological reality. Homework: Look up "The Enclosure Acts" and read a summary of how they changed the "Common Land" system in England. Write down one question about any of this episode's topics. If you don't have a question, write “no question.” Optional:Journal for five minutes about a "shortage" you see in the news today (gas, food, or water).

Peacewarts:  Living Roots 101 - Seed Sovereignty (Class 2) We move from the soil to the seed. This class explores why the right to save and exchange seeds is a foundational act of a peaceful society.

Welcome to Imagine Faith Talk: The podcast where we believe that faith in God is key to unlocking everything you are called to be. In this episode we continue discussing the five things you haven't been told about your imagination. For us to weaponize our imagination, we have to know where we got it from and what was its intended purpose from the onset. Sometimes we get imaginations from God, and other times from our flesh. How are we supposed to tell the difference? Donovan has the secret sauce, and he will be sharing it in this episode. Today we will be continuing with a conversation from our last episode. Have you listened to it? We talked about things you haven't been told about your imagination you haven't been told. Listen to this episode to learn more.

It may get played in a later episode https://anchor.fm/imaginefaithtalk/message Key Talking Point of the Episode: [01:05] Recap of the previous episode. [02:24] Just because your imagination comes from God doesn't mean that every thought is. [07:14] How do you know when a thought comes from God or flesh? [09:15] How do you know when you're taking scripture, and I'm making it for God, but you're probably making it for you? [14:04] Your imagination can save your life. [22:14] Which point impacted Donovan the most. [22:59] Which points impacted Kevin the most? Magical Quotes from the Episode: “If I can't find it in God's word, then not from him. God confirms what he's already said to me through His Word.” [08:01] “If ever you find yourself going down a path that causes you or requires you to diminish your uniqueness, it's fair to question Is this from God.” [11:55] “I don't think you can maximize the beauty of the imagination that God had manufactured for you from a state of anxiety.” [12:43] “Don't let the enemy convince you to believe that it's your end when God said, this is the beginning. Don't allow the enemy to make you believe that you can't do it in this place. When God said, this is exactly where I called you to.” [17:47] This Week's Homework: Look through the inventory of your mind and ask yourself, have I allowed every single thought to be captive to God? Am I allowing myself to affirm the creators in my DNA? Am I planning the work so that my imagination has a plan to work out of thinking about those things and then put a plan in motion so that I can tackle the enemy? --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/imaginefaithtalk/message

In this episode we discuss how you create your own reality. We explore the idea that your life experiences are not random or arbitrary, but rather a direct result of your subconscious beliefs. When the conscious and the subconscious conflict, the sub-conscious wins and you’ll never get over your past until you realize how you use it to justify yourself. We dig into the powerful revelation that life only ever changes in the paradigm of action. You must do something differently than what you’ve done before in order to change. All of this and much more with our guest Gary John Bishop. Gary John Bishop is a personal development expert and is the author of the bestselling book Unfu*k Yourself: Get Out of Your Head and into Your Life and the soon to be released Stop Doing That Sh*t: End Self-Sabotage and Demand Your Life Back. His approach blends a unique in-your-face approach with high-level training and development practices. Hailing from Glasgow, Scotland Gary’s work has been featured in The New York Times, NPR, Vice, Business Insider, and much more!You’re responsible for the creation of your life. You have to accept it, embrace it, be aware of it, and know it. In the living of your life - you will have to live the decisions and conclusions that you’ve made, whether you’re conscious of it or not As a human being, its incumbent upon you to go beyond yourself, expand your awareness, and live life being fully Just because you’re aware of a problematic belief or behavior -doesn’t mean you will stop doing it Why do people attend tons of personal development seminars, read books etc but then never actually change?Your life experiences are not random or arbitrary, they are defined by an invisible set of rules that you believe to be true - but the reality you experience may not be the same reality that other people experience - the same rules that others experience. You currently existing in a “Default” way of living your life - but there are infinite alternatives to being alive and living your life Freedom for a human being is defined as the actions you take, in relation to your default mode of being You have to actually take action, you have to actually DO something with it. Reading a book is nice, but if you don’t do anything with it, what’s the difference in having read it or not?Life ONLY EVER CHANGES in the PARADIGM OF ACTION. You must DO SOMETHING DIFFERENTLY than what YOU’VE DONE BEFORE. You don’t have to feel differently to do differently, you just have to DO differently.Some of the greatest breakthroughs of science and engineering where discovered by accident.You have to go into the unknown and work your way through it to achieve anythingIf you’ve had success, you try to preserve and maintain certainty, you lose the very strategy that made you successful (plunging into uncertainty) If you’re not as hardcore as Gary John Bishop - how do you start taking action? Start with small actions - and small steps to build momentum and credibility with yourselfIs your life about revealing the future you want or perpetuating the past? Whatever you don’t forgive lives on with you. That includes forgiving yourself and forgiving others. Withholding forgiveness perpetuates what happens, and you end up being left with the resentment. You’ll never get over your past until you realize how you use it to justify yourself.Homework: Look around in your life, look at something you’ve been tolerating, putting off, ignoring or pretending about - pick one item you’ve been tolerating and go handle it TODAY.

What do emotional beats and action scenes have in common? Well, they both need to land with your audience in order for your story not to fall flat. On today's episode, we're talking about the importance of reaction. Everything from portraying your characters' reactions to letting readers sit with—and witness— these reactions. The actions that a character takes—or doesn't take— as a part of their reaction let the audience know what they are thinking and feeling. And this lets the audience react alongside the character, even if they haven't experienced (in their own life) what just happened to the character. We'll give you tips and tricks for building this level of resonance between your characters and readers.Homework: Look at one of your characters' reactions and flip it. If they take an action that escalates a situation, how would that scene play if their reaction de-escalated the situation? Can you still get to the end point that you want? P.S.
