Closer to normal along the spectrum, not some famous celebrity or a delusion of grandeur, but seemingly normal, smart, and handsome. Remember my imaginary friend RiffRaff?

Send us a textArnie and Fred begin a new episode by discussing what the Bible says about morality. We begin by looking at what Paul went through while he was in protective custody by a Roman garrison and his discussion with the Roman official in charge of the area where he was imprisoned. We find out that the Roman official was totally unprincipled and rather immoral. This was not unusual for Roman officials. We then note that in large measure, modern day America is not much different as is much of the world. We discuss the fact that morality is not of human origin. Observing human activity, one gets the idea that each individual has their own morality. We note that it is the Lord who provided the standard of morality to the Israelites. We note that this hasn't changed. We also talk about the fact that morality is not legislated by the majority, even though we see this done all the time. We continue by looking at what the Bible says about philosophies and the deep thinkers who produce these in every culture. Unfortunately, we ran out of time and will have to address this item in the next episode. Take about 30-minutes to listen to this episode. Have your Bible handy so you can verify what we are saying. There is a transcript provided for your convenience.

James Harris and Lawrence Schlossman, hosts of the podcast Throwing Fits, are influential figures in menswear with decades of fashion and media experience. Hailing from New Jersey and Manhattan, respectively, Schlossman and Harris lend their understanding of men's fashion to those in the know, with their podcast featuring guests discussing current fashion trends and personal style. As makers, they've begun designing sought-after garments like mesh shorts and cut-and-sew overshirts. Well-known for their chemistry, they describe themselves as yin and yang, with Harris joking and Schlossman sharing insights. Their personal styles reflect their expertise and passions—a sexy Scandinavian look for Harris and a unique take on heritage brands for Schlossman. They both value quality and investing in well-made items, and prioritize organic experiences, exploration, curiosity, and discoverability. Episode Highlights: Schlossman and Harris's origin story of work and personal partnership was born of necessity and involved building a social calendar around whatever was available to them. They worked together at Complex, “failing upwards,” with a fashion video show that took off based on their dynamic before moving on to more strategic and brand partnerships roles. As they moved up the ladder, both felt creatively constricted by red tape and constrained by creating content that catered to advertising dollars.  Schlossman and Harris started their podcast in January 2020 with a sense of having zero stakes—and they say this mentality is what paid off.  Retaining their independence is important to them in a clinical media landscape; it keeps their listeners interested in their irreverence voice.   Now that they make their own designs and collaborate with their favorite brands, such as Our Legacy, Schlossman and Harris contrast their well-made designs with “guys who get dressed for the internet.”  Their audience is “incredibly enthusiastic and incredibly savvy and smart,” Harris says, and respects their underdog style and pursuits.  They cite a robust list of favorite brands, like Eckhaus Latta, Connor McKnight, Angelo Urrutia, Stoffa, Sunflower, and Our Legacy as references and masterful brands of the moment.  When asked what's contemporary now, Harris offers “the fragmentation” and “the challenge of how people can eventually find their people,” while Schlossman says “motivation and doing things because they actually make you feel good,” which is inherent to his interest in dressing.  Learn more about your ad choices.

In Nehemiah's latter days – that correspond to the prophecy of Malachi – we see a religious culture that is very similar to ours today. Irreverence, lukewarmness, disobedience bathed in self-justification, and a form of godliness but denying the power thereof. We need to learn from the mistake of Malachi's generation and submit to truly […]

The Philistines were the nemesis of the people of Israel—a constant threat in battle after battle after battle. The overarching story of the Old Testament tells us that "the axis on which the battle against the nemesis is won or lost is the FEAR OF GOD." In this message, Benjamin Shanks explores the theme of the FEAR OF GOD and its counterpart, IRREVERENCE in the story of David vs. Goliath. This message will encourage you to hold on to the Fear of God in a culture of irreverence.

In this Bible Story, Absalom successfully takes the throne of David. David, not wanting to cause a civil war in the streets of Jerusalem, flees into the wilderness until he can plan his next step. This story is inspired by 2 Samuel 15-17:23. Go to BibleinaYear.com and learn the Bible in a Year.Today's Bible verse is 2 Samuel 15:14 from the King James Version.Episode 106: Absalom began to plot against his father David by manipulating the people. Anytime someone would come to visit the king, he would meet them first and speak sweet-sounding lies to them. He built himself up in the eyes of the people while tearing his father down. Four years later his plans would succeed. He forced his father to flee by threatening war within the city. David was once again forced into the wilderness, but this time half the city went with him.Hear the Bible come to life as Pastor Jack Graham leads you through the official BibleinaYear.com podcast.

This is a wide-ranging, honest, vulnerable conversation with my friend Heston. Heston is exploring podcasting and we agreed to get together for an episode, but it was such a great time that I'm sharing it here with you guys, too.We talk about a ton of things, including how God has been at work in our lives, fatherhood, marriage, the culture at large, a couple conspiracy theories we're fond of.I alternatively laughed and bared my soul.There's no structure to speak of, and you're basically a fly on the wall of me having a deep conversation.Heston is a husband and father, and has been working with us inside of our coaching program, The Brotherhood, for the past 9 months. He's radically transformed his life, and I'm grateful for him.Resources, Links, Show Notes:https://dad.work/podcast/Follow Dad.Work:https://instagram.com/dadwork.curt/https://youtube.com/@dadwork/HOW TO BECOME AN ELITE MAN, HUSBAND, AND FATHER: FREE TRAINING:https://dad.work/training/

Humor in Psychotherapy Curt and Katie chat about the benefits and challenges of using humor in the therapy room. We look at the research exploring how humor is used, potential risks, and best practices. We work to infuse humor, even as we take our therapeutic humor pretty seriously. This is a continuing education podcourse. Transcripts for this episode will be available at mtsgpodcast.com! In this podcast episode we talk about how therapists can best work within treatment teams Anecdotal evidence suggests that humor can have positive effects on therapeutic relationship development and as a skill that can be used for interventions. Concerns that humor may be used incorrectly or be potentially harmful make many clinicians wary of utilizing humor in therapy and empirical research is in its infancy about how it can be used effectively. This podcast episode explores the themes of therapeutic humor, which populations might present with different humor styles, and cultural considerations when using humor. What are the beneficial uses of humor in therapy? ·      Authenticity versus rigidity ·      Serious versus humorous interactions ·      Irreverence in DBT ·      Humor must come from within your own personality, it is not something that is teachable ·      Within the relationship and the therapeutic alliance, humor can increase connection ·      Using humor as a therapist can address power imbalances ·      Opportunities to challenge beliefs and shift behavior with a lighter touch ·      Diffusing situations, gallows humor, and moving on from challenging situations What are the risks of using humor in therapy? ·      When clients don't understand the humor, it can cause iatrogenic harm ·      Confusion on the intent of humor ·      Confusion regarding the connection fostered by humor (i.e., could be seen as seduction) ·      Humor can be a distraction or a way to deflect from the therapeutic work ·      Humor can be seen as reinforcing power imbalances, especially when the client sees the humor as an insult, criticism, or the therapist putting the client down ·      Clients may not be able to give feedback on their reactions to humor ·      Self-deprecating or self-pitying humor is not recommended in therapy What is in the research on using humor in therapy? ·      Not a lot of research ·      Research on humor in therapy is usually done with western therapists and clients ·      It is important to understand the different cultural impacts on humor ·      There is research on the 7 stages and themes of humor within therapy ·      Assessing the use of banter in therapy ·      Identifying whether aggressive humor can improve outcomes in therapy ·      Misapplication of humor as confrontation versus using it for facilitation How can therapists use humor effectively in therapy? ·      Assess jokes and humorous interactions from the lens of it being for the benefit of the client ·      Focus on “reading the room,” so you're not using humor inappropriately ·      Connecting and affirming your understanding of the client's experience ·      Balancing activities in session (business time versus fun time) ·      Using humor as a diagnostic tool ·      Addressing ruptures or potential ruptures caused by humor Receive Continuing Education for this Episode of the Modern Therapist's Survival Guide You can find this full course (including handouts and resources) here: https://moderntherapistcommunity.com/podcourse/ Continuing Education Approvals: Continuing Education Information including grievance and refund policies.

In this Bible Story, we learn of the wicked kings Manasseh and Amon. They openly sacrifice their own children at the altar of false gods, and mock God himself. This story is inspired by 2 Chronicles 33 & 2 Kings 21. Go to BibleinaYear.com and learn the Bible in a Year.Today's Bible verse is 2 Kings 21:20 from the King James Version.Episode 152: As Ammon lay assassinated, he left behind his eight-year-old boy Josiah to be king in his place. Josiah clung to God and pleased Him in all he did. Even when he grew older, he did not abandon the God of Israel. Instead, as he grew, he got rid of the idols of the land. After the land was cleared, he turned his attention toward restoring the temple. It was in this act that he would discover The Book of The Law of God and turn the people of Judah toward their God in repentance.Hear the Bible come to life as Pastor Jack Graham leads you through the official BibleinaYear.com podcast.

Friends,At President Biden's State of the Union address last week, Georgia Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene repeatedly yelled “Liar!,” Tennessee Republican Rep. Andy Ogles shouted, “It's your fault!,” and another Republican yelled “B******t!”Fourteen years ago, Republican Rep. Joe Wilson was formally rebuked by the whole House after shouting “you lie” at Obama.Yet now, anything goes.Meanwhile, Rep. George Santos remains in Congress despite mounting revelations of outright lies, fabrications, and shady deals that years ago would have sent a member of Congress packing.We've also just learned about Jared Kushner's quid pro quo with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman (MBS). As Middle East adviser to his father-in-law, Kushner gave MBS everything he wanted — Trump's first trip abroad, permission to blockade Qatar, a pass on imprisoning leading Saudi citizens until they paid him billions and another on killing and dismembering journalist Jamal Khashoggi (as Trump later put it, “I saved his [MBS's] ass.”).Then, after Kushner left the White House, MBS reciprocated by putting $2 billion from the sovereign wealth fund he chaired into Kushner's private equity company.Where's the shame?Elon Musk's concern about the dwindling number of people seeing his tweets prompted the zillionaire to convene a group of engineers last Tuesday to discover why his engagement numbers were tanking. When one of the company's two remaining principal engineers explained it was likely due to waning public interest in Musk's antics, Musk fired the engineer.We used to call such behavior shameless. Now, it's just what the rich and powerful do.Shame once reenforced social norms. Through most of human history, survival depended on extended families, clans, and tribes. To be shamed and ostracized for violating the common good often meant death.Charles Darwin, in his book The Expression of the Emotions in Man and Animals, thought shame may have evolved as a way to maintain social trust necessary for the survival of a group and, therefore, of its members.In a 2012 paper, psychologists Matthew Feinberg and Dacher Keltner and sociologist Robb Willer found evidence that shame and embarrassment function as a kind of “nonverbal apology” for having done something that violates social norms. A display of embarrassment shows others that the embarrassed person is still aware of the group's expectations and is still committed to the group's well-being.Four centuries ago, public shaming included scarlet A's. “Ignominy is universally acknowledged to be a worse punishment than death,” wrote Benjamin Rush, a signer of the Declaration of Independence who also sought to put an end to public stocks and whipping posts.A more recent version of public shaming occurred in 1954 when Joseph Welch, then chief council for the U.S. Army, stood up to Sen. Joseph McCarthy before a nationwide television audience. During a hearing in which McCarthy accused the army of harboring communists, McCarthy attacked one of Welch's young assistants for having once belonged to the National Lawyers Guild, which McCarthy considered a communist front.Welch responded: “Until this moment, Senator, I think I have never really gauged your cruelty or your recklessness …. Have you no sense of decency, sir?” Millions of Americans watching the proceedings from their living rooms saw McCarthy as the dangerous bully he was. By shaming him, Welch shamed America for having tolerated McCarthy and the communist witch hunt he was leading. It was the beginning of the end of McCarthy's reign of terror.But today, shamelessness has gained a certain elan. Audacity, insolence, and impudence are welcomed. Irreverence is celebrated. We hoot when someone gives society the bird. Many Americans love Donald Trump's loutishness. Meanwhile, instead of being directed at behavior that undermines the common good, shame is now often deployed against people who don't fit in. Social media unleashes torrents of invective on people for little more than saying something silly or looking different or being socially inept. Shaming like this can cause a sensitive teenager to take his or her life.Why are those who violate social norms now treated like Wild West outlaw heroes, while those who are different are ridiculed? Why are bullies now applauded while those at the margin are ostracized? This is a public episode.

For evangelicals (especially charismatics), the jokes on the @sillygraham Instagram account (formerly @theosu_memes) are a little too on the nose. Nathan Finochio, founder of TheosU, is the man behind jokes. They are funny and true with a brand of irreverence that isn't seen often in the Church. However, according to Finochio, they are important.On this episode of the Church InTension podcast, The King's University President, Dr. Jon Chasteen, talks with Finochio about his latest book, Killer Church, consumerism in the Church, and the importance of humor.tku.edu

"People overestimate their control over their thoughts, mind-wandering is a wild beast." Today I am speaking with Moshe Bar, neuroscientist and author of Mindwandering, How Your Constant Mental Drift Can Improve Your Mood and Boost Your Creativity. In this conversation, amidst a background of very opinionated birds, we cover topics including early starts and later pivots, silent retreats on birthdays, transforming seemingly 'dead time' into quality mind time, and a particularly memorable Harry Styles concert. Without further ado, I bring you Moshe Bar.

My guest today is Natasha Mott. Natasha is many things. A neuroscientist, a writer, a host of two podcasts, Syllojism and NeoAcademia. She describes herself as an "ex-academic, former seller of science/biotech shill ... now, depending on the day I might be  a podcaster, an educator, a scientist, a meme-r, a world builder, a creator, an organizer, a friend, a mother, a writer, a musician."

Tim grew up in London (Ontario), a small city between Detroit and Toronto. He had a happy childhood, but needed to live a closeted existence as his environment was hostile. After moving to the big city as a young adult, he quickly began to flourish. He lived a life surrounded by art and the artistic endeavour and lived within the irreverent energy that it exuded. Not considering himself an ‘artist', this early adulthood life experience shaped his ambitions to the core nonetheless. He soon began to understand how irreverence in the arts brought people together, created culture and helped changed beliefs. Over his career, he has become a globally recognized social entrepreneur in this space. We discuss how modernism in architecture began to focus away from people and give way to towers, plazas - and the car – and how we lost our way in creating places for people and stories and the emotional connection to both. We chat about the “activation” of a place, multisensorial dimensions and art as urban acupuncture. In line with our discussion with the late Hazel Henderson (ep 61), Tim talks about focusing on a bigger pie – not a bigger slice of what we already have.    To DONATE to the Behind Greatness podcast, please visit here: https://behindgreatness.org.

Welcome to the first episode of the newly re-vamped podcast, now called MotherTalks! For this first episode, I am joined by Eset Rose Santoro, a mama, multidimensional artist, warrior, and teacher of transformation and healing. Our conversation goes into many topics, including walking the spiritual path of mothering, children as our mirrors, the complexity of time, the portal of connected play, surrendering our will to God's divine plan, and the exhaustion of the "Super Mom" archeype. Visit rachaelalaia.love for the complete show notes.

As the war in Ukraine continues, we focus on an extraordinary city which could well be the next Russian target, Odessa. A product of commerce and an effervescent example of urban economics, Odessa is cosmopolitan, tolerant, self-reinventing, brimming of various ethnicities, home to Russian intellectual greats Pushkin, Babel, Eisenstein and Jabotinsky. Today this great city is on the frontline. We explore its economy and history, and why destroying this city is akin to destroying an idea, which is why it will be impossible. We also highlight one of the darkest and least well known atrocities of the Holocaust. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
