Why are Bible sales experiencing a surprising 22% surge? Is Western culture becoming spiritually curious again? In this episode of Candid Conversations, Jonathan Youssef welcomes Dr. Sean McDowell—author, speaker, and Biola University professor—to unpack this unexpected trend.Sean shares insights from his years of engaging the next generation on matters of faith, culture, and apologetics. Together, they explore:Why a sharp rise in Bible sales should give us pause—and cautious hopeHow cultural voices like Jordan Peterson and Jonathan Rauch are contributing to renewed interest in ChristianityWhy secularism may be losing momentum among young adultsHow Christians can better engage a spiritually curious culture today—not with confrontation, but with conversationDrawing on historical shifts, current research, and his experiences equipping students and churches, Sean encourages believers to rethink how we present the gospel in this pivotal moment. Instead of arguing like it's still the era of the "new atheists," it's time to listen, ask better questions, and meet people in their spiritual hunger.Guest BioDr. Sean McDowell is a professor of apologetics at Biola University, the cohost of the Think Biblically podcast, and a best-selling author. His latest book, Apologetics for an Ever-Changing Culture, helps Christians address today's toughest questions with clarity and compassion.Connect with Sean:Website: seanmcdowell.orgYouTube: Sean McDowellInstagram: @sean_mcdowell

Functional cranial release drops the default mode network, just like psychedelics do. You experience this balloon inflation. There's this very calm sensation people will experience. And so there's kind of a window for people to have emotions that will come up, being able to be objective or empathetic towards those emotions. So there's a lot of utility for not just treating the brain and neurological conditions, but also with mental, emotional, spiritual applications. - Dr. John Lieurance Are You Stressed Out Lately?

"Limbic isolations are really really important because they either synchronize or asynchronize a whole wealth of pathways on the brainstems that keep us healthy and vital. And when we don't have that, it shuts it all down, so a lot of people might find they have a lot of anxiety, and there can be a lot of neurological confusion that happens with the brain." - Dr. John Lieurance   Releasing Hidden Fears "We carry a lot of fears that are based on thoughts that we believe are true like 'I'm not good enough' or 'I'm not loved.' What might be covering that up are thoughts like, 'My father doesn't respect me' or 'I'm going to be late for this appointment and they'll be made.' Those thoughts are covering up all of these hidden fears that we all carry and when you start to get into psychedelics or breathwork or even this endonasal treatment that I do, they take us back to a calm state and help us let go of those fears as they de-regulate our default mode network."- Dr. John Lieurance   Holding The Breath = Holding The Trauma "When we hold our breath, that's the veil. You have trauma, you hold your breath, it's going to push it into the subconscious. It's going to be there and it's going to control you in a way that's probably not going to be positive and create suffering." - Dr. John Lieurance   Links From Today's Show  Ultimate Cellular Reset RUNGA 436  Dr. John Lieurance | Melatonin Miracle: Supra-Physiologic Dosing, Sinus Health & Ending Inflammation 449 Hearts Wide Open | Identifying & Healing Core Wounds To Live Your Vision: Luke Storey, Cal Callahan, Dr. John Lieurance & Josh Trent Quadcast 468 Joseph Anew | Becoming an Intuitive Warrior: Developing Courage to Face Obstacles + Why Vibrant Health Starts in the Heart (RUNGA) It's All in Your Head: Endonasal Cranial Therapy by Dr. John Lieurance Melatonin: Miracle Molecule by Dr. John Lieurance Weston A.

Philosophy is a field of study often relegated to the margins of society; nowadays, telling someone you enjoy philosophy is akin to telling them you enjoy Latin or hunting with a bow. It's just bizarre. However, this ultimately seems to be a disservice to philosophy, as a lot of people imagine these ideas to be impractical or irrelevant to their life, something which I completely disagree with. In fact, I believe every action you take has a philosophical basis; after all, how can you make a decision that isn't based on values? Today, I am joined by Olivia Sun, a rising YouTuber and a student studying a Bachelor of Philosophy to (hopefully) bring this field of knowledge, based off dusty tomes and buried scrolls, into the 21st century. We jump between a myriad of different topics from “Is Western philosophy too rational?”, “What are some of our favourite philosophers?” and “How have these ideas improved our lives?” with the aim of answering, once and for all, “Is Philosophy Actually Useful?”

Fact: for the week of March 28, the top 20 global Google search trends do not include the #pandemic, the #warinUkraine, #residentialschools.

Is Western culture relativistic? Has it ever been relativistic? We were raised with the answer ‘yes', but now Carmody, Bethany, and I are doubting this claim.

Is Western democracy and the values it tom-toms just a toll for creating new hegemonies. Has Russia called the Western/American bluff in Ukraine conflict. With China also flexing its muscles, are we at the threshold of a fundamental change in the international order? Is India alive to the kinetic forces taking shape? Ruchir Sharma and Vibhuti Jha join Sanjay Dixit to discuss the burning issue.

On today's Ruminant, Jonah discusses everything from obscure existentialist philosophy to the realism of zombie TV. Rank punditry is first on the docket, as Jonah examines Biden's poor handling of the Afghanistan withdrawal and Republican efforts to whitewash the events of January 6. Afterward, Jonah defends his recent comments about Tucker Carlson and explores the world's progress on vaccinations. Is Western civilization buckling under the weight of liberal guilt? Should America be the world's policeman? And will Ramesh Ponnuru ever persuade Jonah to change his mind about the death penalty? Show Notes: - Biden brings the Afghanistan withdrawal date forward - The New York Times' devastating January 6 video  - The latest Dispatch Podcast - Jonah's debate with Joshua Tait - Jonah's final word on critical race theory - The week's second Remnant with Will Saletan - “I'm not getting anything…”  - Jonah's Tucker tweet, which caused no controversy - Trouble in Tokyo - Republican craziness over Biden's push to “knock on doors”  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The boys get a little more personal this week and briefly discuss their thoughts on the pros and cons of gym dates. They also touch upon the recent developments regarding the London protests and debate which is better: the PS5 or the Xbox Series X. Seasonal reviews follow as always and then the HARD (excuse the pun) questions are answered; is anime over sexualised? Is it aimed predominantly at men? Is this just as prevalent in Western media?

Is Western medicine making progress when it comes to tackling heart disease and diabetes or is the current system contributing to the chronic disease epidemic? Dr. Hans Diehl was chosen as “One of America’s 20 Super-Heroes of the Health Movement,” and on this episode of the Eat Real to Heal podcast, Dr. Diehl takes you through decades of research and explains why the current health care system isn't the answer to you chronic health issues. He then spells out exactly what you need to do - starting with your next bite of food - to prevent, treat and ultimately reverse heart disease, Type II diabetes, and a whole host of other lifestyle chronic diseases. Dr. Hans Diehl directs the Lifestyle Medicine Institute in Loma Linda and lectures at the College of Medicine at the University of Illinoisat Rockford and at the School of Medicine of Loma Linda University, Loma Linda, CA. Offering more than 25 years of leadership in the emerging field of Lifestyle Medicine his pioneering efforts as an epidemiologically trained lifestyle interventionist with the Coronary Health Improvement Project (CHIP) have shown how simple lifestyle changes can prevent, arrest, and facilitate the reversal of many of our largely lifestyle related diseases. With more than 50,000 graduates, the results of the Randomized Clinical CHIP Trial have been published in 17 peer reviewed medical journals. His books, Health Power, and Dynamic Health, and Dynamic Living book & workbook (co-authored with Aileen Ludington), have over two million copies in 17 languages in circulation. As an invited guest, he recently addressed, for the second year in a row, the World Congress on Weight Management in Chicago. He earned his doctorate in Health Science and an MPH in Public Health Nutrition from Loma Linda University. He has been married to Dr. Lily Pan for 40 years. Together they have two children: Byron, an orthodontist and Carmen, a clinical psychologist.

Is Western culture superior to non-Western culture?  Why are certain opinions being demonised?  Why has politics become so toxic and tribal?  Join Douglas Carswell as he discusses this with radio presenter Julia Hartley-Brewer.   

Is the national fabric that holds Canada together fraying? Is Western alienation in our prairie provinces real? What do the pipeline and equalization debates reveal about the rise of right-wing populism? To address some of these questions we're joined by the Honourable Monte Solberg. Mr. Solberg was a long-time Alberta MP, an influential cabinet minister in Ottawa, and one of the founders of the Reform Party of Canada. I'm pleased this unabashed, prairie-populist Conservative joined me on The Herle Burly to talk about Trump, climate change, immigration, and the election of Jason Kenney in Alberta. 

I was wrong last week. The 737 MAX should have been promptly grounded on March 11th, 2019. Was history being written in the Ethiopian desert and off the coast of Indonesia? Sometimes history is written in just a few days. Are we witnessing the opening moves of America’s slide from #1 to #2 in commercial aviation? Why would the U.S. Justice Department launch an almost unprecedented criminal investigation of Boeing? The crashes of Lion Flight 610 and Ethiopian Flight 302 tragically killed 346 people. Could subsequent events prove even more costly? Were they really accidents or were they completely avoidable consequences of corrupt collaboration between corporate interests and government. Should it worry us that America’s new Secretary of Defense worked for Boeing for thirty years? Boeing’s stock price should tell us something profound. Like Europe’s Airbus, China is waiting to scoop up worldwide twin-engine single-aisle passenger aircraft business. What if America’s FAA has irreparably lost international prestige? Why did Boeing put two huge modern engines on a fifty year-old air frame? Why did they decide to omit information from instruction manuals about a computer system that can override the pilot? You wouldn’t buy a car that did that. Is Western defense and American security being held hostage by “The Swamp”? Also, I reveal my prediction about when the 737 MAX will again take to the skies and tell you why you will remember the first quarter of 2019 as history-making in American politics.

This week, Aaron of Martian Toys makes his return to the show.
