Have you ever seen Schitt's Creek? No? You really need to watch it. That's advocacy. And it's older than marketing itself - somebody took a bite of something and said, “You gotta try this.” Jason Grunberg, CMO of Forter, didn't watch the show until he got sick and had nothing else to do. By the time he was better, he was binge-watching instead of resting. In this episode, he breaks down what Schitt's Creek teaches B2B marketers about pointy characters, ownable positioning, brand as a bank, and why the transformation story is the only story worth telling. Together, we dig into why “safe is not where we make really strong emotional bonds,” what the Rosebud Motel's rebrand can teach any B2B company trying to differentiate, and why AI inflation has already made “AI” a meaningless differentiator. About our guest, Jason Grunberg Jason Grunberg is CMO at Forter, the identity intelligence platform for digital commerce. With a background spanning agency and in-house roles across B2C and B2B, he brings a rare perspective on what it means to treat every buyer as a consumer - because at the end of the day, a wrong decision costs someone their job, and nothing is more personal than that. What B2B Marketers Can Learn From Schitt's Creek Advocacy is the root of every decision. Jason didn't watch Schitt's Creek because of the awards or the marketing. He watched it because people he trusted kept telling him to. His takeaway for B2B: “Advocacy has been a core part of marketing and brand forever for anything. This is coded almost into the human experience - advocacy is the root of like how we end up making decisions and choices.” Before you chase the next channel, ask whether you're creating the conditions for your customers to tell their colleagues, “You really need to try this.” Pointy characters resonate more than representative ones. The safest instinct in B2B marketing is to round off your personas until they feel inclusive. Schitt's Creek did the opposite - and it's why strangers kept telling Jason the show was basically his family. Ian's takeaway: “The more pointy you make it, the more weird, the more absurd, it actually will resonate that much better.” Stop asking whether every CIO will see themselves in your story. Make the character want something specific, and trust the audience to find themselves in it. Brand is a bank - and technology is never the real differentiator. The Rose Apothecary didn't succeed because of its product formulas. It succeeded because of the experience, the distinctiveness, the emotional value. Jason connects it directly to his work at Forter: “Quality is replicable, at least now more so than ever. The brand has to mean something.” On technology positioning, he's blunt: “If there's always the push from your product team to be like, ‘This is the core differentiator,' I'm like, ‘Cool. That is 2,000 lines of code deep. That sounds really replicable. And it doesn't say I'm getting a raise if I buy this.'” “Safe is not where we make really strong emotional bonds. On the edges is where we do that - because on the inside, there's a lot of edge. We've just been conditioned to not show it all the time.” - Jason Grunberg Time Stamps [1:25] Meet Jason Grunberg, CMO of Forter [2:17] Why Schitt's Creek?

The comparison of two excommunication stories can reveal a great deal about the kind of people the LDS church will allow right back into full fellowship and the kind of people they will ban for life and beyond. Juxtaposition is a powerful tool and comparing and contrasting the two excommunication stories of Wade Christofferson (brother of LDS First Presidency Member D. Todd Christofferson), excommunicated for alleged CSA , and Lavina Fielding Anderson, excommunicated as one of the September Six for pointing out the LDS church's ecclesiastical abuses against LDS intellectuals, reveals what the LDS church really prioritizes. Landon jumps back on Mormonish Podcast to uncover the details of each case and discuss the meaning and importance of these very different situations.

Space has captured humanity's imagination since the dawn of time. On this episode of Juxtaposition, Rick and Ordy, along with Jeff (Host of The Lost Wanderer), discuss Artemis II and our return to the moon. Somehow, our closest celestial neighbor, the Moon, has always inspired a mixture of awe, wonder, fear, and dread. The question is why?Why did we get bored with the idea of exploring it or colonizing it? What changed that brought us back?They discuss all of that and more 

This sermon addresses the critical distinction between God's conviction and Satan's condemnation, challenging common "plaque Christianity" sayings that are often repeated but lack biblical accuracy. Pastor Grant emphasizes that while God disciplines those He loves to draw them closer, the enemy uses condemnation to create hopelessness and separation. The message explores the paradox of Christian faith—that in weakness we find strength, and that forgiveness doesn't require forgetting. Central to the sermon is the question: "Do you trust Him?" This challenges believers to move beyond merely loving God to fully surrendering and trusting His sovereign plan, even when it doesn't align with personal expectations.

There was a time when the record settled things. Now the record says one thing… and memory says another. And the gap between them is getting harder to ignore.Tonight, we follow that gap — from shared false memories to something that may be happening in real time.

Few designers have influenced the way American men dress in the 21st century as much as Todd Snyder has. On this episode, the designer tells Dan about how he grew up as a fashion-obsessed young athlete before chasing his dreams in New York, his formative years at Ralph Lauren and J.Crew, cutting loose to start his eponymous brand, his latest collection that recalls the 50s and 60s, his advice for young designers, and much more.

Episode 2.89Mark's Sandwiches: How the Gospel of Mark Uses Interruptions to Teach TheologyIn this episode of Narrative Juxtaposition: How the Bible Speaks Through Story Placement, Michael and Zach examine one of the most distinctive literary techniques in the Gospel of Mark—often called the “Markan sandwich.”Readers frequently notice that Mark begins one story, suddenly interrupts it with another, and then returns to the original narrative. At first glance the structure can feel abrupt or even chaotic. But when read carefully, these interruptions reveal deliberate narrative design. Mark places one story inside another so that each interprets the other.We explore several of the clearest examples. In Mark 5, the healing of the bleeding woman interrupts the urgent mission to save Jairus's daughter, showing that faith remains meaningful even when God's timing includes delay. In Mark 11, the cursing of the fig tree frames the cleansing of the temple, revealing the fig tree as a symbolic judgment on fruitless religion. And in Mark 6, the joyful mission of the Twelve is interrupted by the execution of John the Baptist, reminding readers that faithful proclamation often leads to suffering.Throughout the episode we show how Mark communicates theology not primarily through explanation but through narrative placement. The Gospel's structure forces the reader to slow down and hold multiple scenes together, allowing the stories themselves to interpret one another.By paying attention to how the stories are arranged, readers begin to see that the interruptions are not distractions—they are the interpretation.Find our videocast here: https://youtu.be/MmElw3Zd0fAMerch here: https://take-2-podcast.printify.me/Music from #Uppbeat (free for Creators!):⁠https://uppbeat.io/t/reakt-music/deep-stone⁠License code: 2QZOZ2YHZ5UTE7C8Find more Take 2 Theology content at http://www.take2theology.com

What if some of history's greatest civilizations didn't fall in spectacular wars… but stopped?Tonight on Juxtaposition, we explore four ancient mysteries in which entire systems of human organization faded, fractured, or vanished — leaving behind monuments, cities, and ruins… but with almost no explanation.We begin with the urban giants of the Indus Valley Civilization, whose meticulously planned cities suddenly lost cohesion after six centuries of stability.We travel back even further to Göbekli Tepe, where hunter-gatherers built massive stone temples thousands of years before agriculture — and then deliberately buried them.From there, we examine the mysterious maritime raiders known as the Sea Peoples, recorded in Egyptian reliefs during the reign of Ramesses III, whose sudden appearance coincides with the collapse of Bronze Age powers across the Mediterranean.Finally, we confront the larger puzzle historians still struggle to explain: the Late Bronze Age collapse, when interconnected kingdoms, trade networks, and writing systems disappeared within a generation.These civilizations built cities, monuments, and international systems that lasted centuries.Then something changed.Not all collapses come with conquering armies or burning cities. Sometimes the structures remain… but the system that gave them meaning dissolves.Tonight we explore the ruins — and the silence they left behind.

Episode 2.87Matthew: A Jewish Gospel That Won't Stop Talking About GentilesIn this opening episode of our new series Narrative Juxtaposition: How the Bible Speaks Through Story Placement, Michael and Zach explore a provocative question: If Matthew is the most Jewish of the four Gospels, why do Gentiles keep stealing the spotlight?Matthew is structured to emphasize Jesus as the fulfillment of Israel's story—Abraham's seed, David's son, the new Moses. The Gospel is saturated with fulfillment formulas, Torah echoes, and covenant themes. Yet at key narrative moments, Gentiles are the ones who recognize, worship, and confess Jesus rightly—while Israel's leaders hesitate, misunderstand, or resist.We trace these narrative placements carefully: the Gentile women in the genealogy, the Magi contrasted with Jerusalem's indifference, the Roman centurion whose faith astonishes Jesus, the persistent Canaanite woman, and the Roman executioner who confesses Christ at the cross. These are not random anecdotes. They function as theological commentary embedded in the story itself.Along the way, we explore how Matthew uses Gentiles as narrative mirrors—exposing unbelief, redefining covenant membership around faith rather than ethnicity, and foreshadowing the global scope of the kingdom. The Gospel's beginning and end are bookended by Gentile worship, culminating in the Great Commission to all nations.This episode models how careful attention to story placement can reveal theological depth often missed in isolated readings. In Matthew, placement preaches.Find our videocast here: https://youtu.be/nyxGoFn5-a0Merch here: https://take-2-podcast.printify.me/Music from #Uppbeat (free for Creators!):⁠https://uppbeat.io/t/reakt-music/deep-stone⁠License code: 2QZOZ2YHZ5UTE7C8Find more Take 2 Theology content at http://www.take2theology.com

John 3v16 speaks of God's love for the whole world, yet what leads up to that famous verse is a conversation with one individual—Nicodemus. Is our own view of God's love shaped more by his corporate love for the whole world or his intimate and personal nature? Taught by Ryan Doucet.

Some artifacts don't just belong to history… they challenge it.This week on Juxtaposition, we examine objects that shouldn't exist — from an ancient device that behaves like a battery, to a map that may preserve knowledge from lost civilizations, to a medieval book so massive and mysterious it spawned legends of the supernatural… and a modern artifact that may have been explained away far too quickly.Are these simply misunderstood relics… or evidence that knowledge can appear, disappear, and survive in ways history isn't comfortable admitting? Join us as we explore the places where certainty breaks down — and mystery refuses to die.

Today on Ascend: The Great Books Podcast, Dr. Jason Baxter and Dcn. Harrison Garlick come together to introduce Dante's Purgatorio and Dr. Baxter's new translation!We are reading Dante's Purgatorio for Lent. Join us!Visit thegreatbookspodcast.com for our reading schedule!Check out our LIBRARY of written guides to the great books!DISCOUNT: Check out Dr. Jason Baxter's website and enter "Ascend" to receive **20%** off the Purgatorio audiobook read by Dr. Baxter!Check out Dr. Baxter's Substack article on his new translation.And thank you to the Center of Beauty and Culture at Benedictine College for promoting this reading of the Purgatorio!Dr. Baxter first describes the Center for Beauty and Culture at Benedictine College as a fellowship program (Angelico Fellows) that immerses students in beauty across the arts, music, literature, and theology—through concerts, museums, and pilgrimages—to foster interiority and the conviction that “beauty can save the world.”The conversation then contrasts Purgatorio with the Inferno: while the latter is dark, lurid, and focused on judgment, Purgatorio is a place of hope, mercy, transformation, and “eternal New Year's resolutions,” where repentant souls engage in spiritual exercises to purify their tarnished mirrors, learn authentic love and prayer, and prepare for Paradise. Baxter likens the shift to moving from heavy metal to Schubert, emphasizing greenness, brightness, and unexpected mercy.Baxter explains that his translation began as a personal quest for mastery—going word-by-word to internalize Dante like memorizing a piano piece—but evolved into a philosophy capturing Dante's “fugue” of style: ascending, prolix syntax with lofty classical allusions layered over humble, earthy words that reflect Franciscan humility and incarnational Christian poetics. Examples include goats ruminating on the “foco d'amore” (fire of love) amid elevated star imagery, or Statius calling Virgil's Aeneid “una mamma” (translated “mommy”).He describes Purgatorio as spiritual surgery—painfully removing the soul's “carcinogenic” elements through grace-filled cooperation—and a map for configuring to Christ beyond mere sin avoidance. Baxter advises first-time readers to pause at puzzling images or word choices, ask “why would Dante do that here?,” trust their instincts, and consider his audiobook for the text's soundscape, while Deacon Garlick stresses the canticle's role as a spiritual guide that mirrors one's own maturation toward God.Chapters00:00 Introduction to Ascend and Dante's Purgatorio03:43 The Center for Beauty and Culture05:40 Understanding Dante's Purgatorio07:54 The Nature of Purgatorio14:54 Dante the Pilgrim vs. Dante the Poet19:32 The Spirituality of Translation20:14 The Philosophy of Translation30:02 Dante's Christian Poetics34:22 Exploring Dante's Poetic Style36:51 Juxtaposition in Dante's Imagery41:42 The Concept of Spiritual Surgery44:49 The Journey of Holiness48:13 The Role of...

What happens when an investigation doesn't lead to answers — and never has?From a hole that won't register depth to a valley where instruments contradict each other, this episode traces a pattern of geography that resists explanation itself.If one place behaved this way, it would be a mystery.When many do, coincidence starts to collapse.

Lost Media: The Record That Vanished examines a quiet assumption we rarely question: that if something was broadcast, it must still exist somewhere. This episode starts from solid ground, establishing that many recordings we know aired—news footage, live broadcasts, cultural moments—are now unlocatable despite being witnessed, referenced, and treated as real at the time.From there, the focus tightens on moments when reality was still raw. Early local 9/11 coverage, classroom broadcasts during the Challenger explosion, and the first televised reactions to the Zapruder film all share a strange trait: the earliest, most uncertain recordings are the least likely to survive. What remains is the stabilized version—the one that makes sense after the fact. The pattern doesn't stop with tragedy. Entire episodes of beloved television were wiped. One-night performances vanished. Regional variations of famous broadcasts collapsed into a single official version. These weren't dangerous or classified moments, yet they disappeared anyway, leaving behind scripts, stills, memories, and references without the recordings themselves.The episode closes by naming the behavior without explaining it away. Systems don't preserve everything—they preserve what's stable, defensible, and repeatable. What resists framing tends to fall out of the record. No villains. No final theory. Just an unsettling takeaway: disappearance isn't random, and the historical record grows cleaner as it grows narrower. Because what vanishes may not be what mattered least—but what couldn't be absorbed at the time

After the feasting has ended, the audit begins!  Join Rick and Ody as they deep dive into the goblinverse!

This episode explores two holiday horrors that feel wildly different—but share the same seasonal pressure. In the first half, we follow the winter travel corridor, where disappearances spike between Thanksgiving and Christmas. Cars are found idling with no footprints in the snow. Dashcams cut out mid-drive. Travelers vanish between security cameras in airports and rest stops.From the iron-rich terrain of Vermont's Bennington Triangle to long, silent highway stretches in Wyoming and Nevada, winter doesn't just erase evidence—it distorts perception, time, and orientation. These aren't reckless wanderers. These are people who were almost home.In the second half, the lens flips inward. Black Friday isn't a mystery of missing bodies—it's a mystery of missing selves. Crowds surge into ritual frenzy, driven by scarcity psychology, dopamine loops, and sanctioned hysteria. Stampedes, injuries, locked doors, and mob behavior mirror disaster responses more than shopping events. It's anthropological, unsettling, and darkly funny. Together, the episode asks a single question:What does winter do to the human mind? Some people disappear into the snow.Some disappear into the crowd.Both vanish during the same season. The holidays take a toll—on the road or under fluorescent lights—and winter decides how.

Notes Luke 2:1-20 John 1:1-14 Summary In this episode of the Pulpit Fiction Podcast, hosts Eric Fistler and Rob McCoy explore the significance of Christmas Eve, focusing on the Gospel of Luke and John. They discuss the nativity story, emphasizing themes of hospitality, community, and the deeper meanings behind familiar narratives. The conversation highlights the importance of welcoming God into our lives and the transformative power of the incarnation. Through reflections on the shepherds and the poetic nature of John's Gospel, the hosts invite listeners to engage with the Christmas story in a meaningful way. Takeaways This year Christmas falls on a Wednesday, which is exciting for many. The podcast will focus on the Gospel of Luke and John for Christmas Eve. Rob is hosting a preaching retreat in January for those interested in planning their sermons. The story of Jesus' birth is often simplified, but it holds deeper meanings. The concept of 'no room at the inn' can be reframed to highlight hospitality. Shepherds symbolize the vulnerable and caring nature of leadership in the story. The Gospel of John presents a poetic view of the incarnation. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness cannot extinguish it. The story of Jesus' birth invites us to reflect on our own hospitality. The community aspect of faith is emphasized in the discussion.

Text us about this show.There are singer-songwriters and then there is Mathew Haeffel. It is truly hard to pin the singer-songwriter label on him because his original compositions go well beyond what you'd expect from an artist in that genre. Mathew is a songsmith who creates music in a way that a visual artist might create a striking painting. He specializes in juxtaposition, combining dark and light elements that contrast each other whether that be in his lyrics, instrumentation, or both. Often you will hear him sing pensive words over a lively beat, but listeners are often left with a bit of encouragement because of the way Mathew is able to bring the light out of the dark in his songs. A truly unique artist that is worth discovering."Didn't I" written and performed by Mathew Haeffel℗ 2010 Mathew Haeffel.

The forests hid beasts. The deep hid Leviathans. But the sky has always hidden judgment. From the Mothman of Point Pleasant to the Black Bird of Chernobyl and the winged figures over Chicago, the same red-eyed watcher returns whenever disaster is near.

Does the Misva of Tefillin Apply Outside of Eres Yisrael? Some verses in the Torah link the obligation of Tefillin to the entry into Eres Yisrael, such as: "Vehaya ki yebi'acha Hashem el Eres haKena'ani" — "And it shall be when Hashem brings you into the land of the Canaanite…" This wording led some to question whether Tefillin is required only in the land of Israel. However, this assumption is incorrect . The obligation of Tefillin applies equally outside Eres Yisrael. Three Proofs That Tefillin Applies in the Diaspora Parashat Va'etchanan – The Torah states that even in exile, when Hashem drives Benei Yisrael from the land, they are still commanded to observe the Misvot, including Tefillin: "Veshamarta le'ot al yadecha…" follows immediately after the verses about exile. Juxtaposition to Pidyon Peter Hamor – Tefillin is mentioned near the Misva of redeeming a firstborn donkey, a commandment known to apply outside of Israel. This parallel suggests that Tefillin, too, applies everywhere. Association with Torah Study – The verse "Lema'an tihyeh Torat Hashem beficha" links Tefillin to Torah learning. Since Torah applies globally, Tefillin does as well. While the Torah references entering the land when discussing Tefillin, this is not to limit the Misva to Eres Yisrael. Rather, it highlights the ideal setting for fulfilling the Misva—"in the King's palace," as some say—but not its exclusive domain. Even though the Torah sometimes speaks about performing Misvot when entering the land , it does not mean they are limited to Eres Yisrael. Instead, it highlights that Eres Yisrael is the ideal place to do Misvot — like fulfilling them in the King's palace. Summary The Misva of Tefillin applies equally inside and outside of Eres Yisrael. Proofs from Scripture show that even in exile, Jews are obligated in Tefillin. The reference to the land in the Torah merely underscores the ideal environment for Misvot—not a geographic limitation.
