La Croix à Paris nous emmène à Kostroma, ville moyenne située à 350 km au nord-est de Moscou. « Il faut bien chercher, constate le correspondant du journal, pour trouver des affiches des candidats aux élections législatives prévues sur trois jours, à partir de ce vendredi, dans toute la Russie. (…) Un rendez-vous électoral loin d'être au centre des préoccupations (…). Devant la gare, il y a bien un jeune homme qui distribue quelques tracts pour le parti Gens nouveaux, une formation créée en 2020 et qui se veut centriste. C'est l'un des dix partis qui figurent sur le bulletin de vote. Alexeï, un voyageur qui vient d'arriver en ville, transforme son tract en petit avion en papier et le lance dans les airs. “Je n'irai pas voter, dit-il. J'ai 26 ans. Et je n'ai jamais voté. On fait semblant. Comme si notre vote comptait pour quelque chose…“» « Ce scrutin, rappelle La Croix, est le premier test national d'ampleur depuis le début de l' “opération militaire spéciale“, le nom officiel donné à l'invasion de l'Ukraine, en février 2022. Mais les électeurs russes n'auront pas l'occasion de se prononcer pour ou contre la guerre. Un onzième parti figurait sur le bulletin de vote : Iabloko (“la pomme“), le seul à appeler ouvertement à la fin du conflit. Mais il a été exclu du scrutin par les autorités, précisément pour cette raison. Tout se passe comme si ce vote était une formalité, relève encore La Croix. De fait, depuis de nombreuses années, les résultats des élections en Russie sont sans surprise. À Kostroma, comme ailleurs, on sait déjà qui l'emportera : le camp de Vladimir Poutine, représenté par le parti Russie unie. » Un « grand théâtre » Constat similaire pour Le Temps à Genève : « Alors que la guerre a fait disparaître les derniers vestiges de libertés civiles qui subsistaient dans le pays, l'issue de ce grand “théâtre“ orchestré de bout en bout par le Kremlin ne fait aucun doute : la nouvelle Douma d'État sera loyale à Vladimir Poutine et à sa ligne politique. (…) Les mécanismes sont connus, pointe le quotidien suisse : les groupes et candidats d'opposition sont systématiquement exclus des listes électorales ; les jours de scrutin, bourrages d'urnes et votes multiples sont monnaie courante. La mise en place du vote électronique dès 2020 a encore renforcé les risques de falsification. Et le fait que, depuis les dernières législatives de 2021, les élections se tiennent sur trois jours, et non plus un seul, est aussi identifié comme un facteur donnant davantage de marge de manœuvre aux autorités pour dissimuler des manipulations. Enfin, plus aucun observateur crédible et indépendant n'est autorisé sur place. » Après ? La mobilisation générale ? En fait, relève le Guardian à Londres, ce ne sont pas les élections qui sont importantes, c'est ce qui se passera après… « On craint qu'une fois le scrutin passé et une nouvelle Douma aux ordres installée, le Kremlin dispose d'une plus grande latitude pour mettre en œuvre des mesures impopulaires », comme une mobilisation de masse. « Cette crainte a déjà poussé certains jeunes à quitter le pays – des scènes qui rappellent celles de septembre 2022, lorsque des centaines de milliers de Russes ont fui après l'annonce par Poutine de la première conscription en temps de guerre. » Le Guardian qui croit savoir que des proches du Kremlin « ont envoyé leurs fils à l'étranger ces dernières semaines, signe, que même parmi ceux qui ont accès au système, peu sont certains de ce qui se passera après le vote. » La stratégie « Midi pour la paix » Enfin, à lire dans La Repubblica à Rome cette interview de Vladimir Kara-Murza, figure emblématique de l'opposition anti-Poutine qui vit aux États-Unis. Il est historien, cinéaste et lauréat du prix Pulitzer pour des articles écrits pendant sa détention en Sibérie. Pour lui, la seule façon de s'opposer durant ce scrutin verrouillé, c'est de suivre « la dernière initiative que Navalny avait soutenue avant d'être tué en prison » : la stratégie Midi pour la paix : aller tous voter en même temps, à midi précise… « Le régime peut annoncer les chiffres qu'il veut, ayant perfectionné l'art de falsifier les élections. Cependant, relève Vladimir Kara-Murza, il ne pourra pas cacher les images de milliers de personnes faisant la queue. Nous pouvons transformer ces élections truquées en une manifestation nationale contre la guerre. »

Nous sommes le 26 septembre 1906, non loin de Chartres, dans le département d'Eure-et-Loir, en France. Dans le journal « La Croix », quotidien fondé en 1883 par la congrégation des religieux catholiques des Augustins de l'Assomption, voici ce que l'on peut lire à propos du scandaleux abbé Delarue : « Traître à son dieu, à son évêque, à ses confrères, à sa famille et à son pauvre père que sa trahison courbe vers la tombe ». Sujets traités : Abbé Delarue,scandaleux, Augustins, Assomption, Eglise, Quatre jours plus tard, le journal récidive, montant encore dans les degrés de la diatribe : « Penchez-vous avec précaution et regardez : voyez cette chose, qui n'a de nom dans aucune langue, ce cadavre qui flotte dans la « cloaqua maxima » dont les eaux vaseuses charrient tant de détritus. Détournons les yeux de cette triste épave ». « L'ami du clergé », hebdomadaire de référence dans la région, n'est pas en reste et affirme : « Si l'histoire de l'Eglise révèle un certain nombre de scélératesses, elle ne nous a rien révélé d'aussi écœurant ». Quel crime a donc commis l'abominable abbé Delarue ? Il a disparu pendant deux mois, ce qui a mis une belle pagaille dans le pays. Une disparition qui a fait courir les pires rumeurs. On l'a décrété mort, on l'a pleuré. Tout a été mis en œuvre pour le retrouver, on a même fait appel à un mage et à une hyène ! Mais là n'est pas le pire. L'innommable, c'est que l'abbé n'a pas respecté son vœu de chasteté : il s'est compromis avec une femme. Un péché de chair que le mènera jusqu'à Bruxelles. Cette histoire aurait pu n'être qu'un banal fait divers, mais elle intervient dans le contexte explosif de la séparation des Eglises et de l'Etat. Des mois durant, elle va faire la une de la presse française, puis belge. Elle pose encore aujourd'hui la question du célibat et de la chasteté des prêtres et de leur rapport au monde.

AI agents are apparently ready to take over the world—provided they can first stop exposing private photos, hijacking German coding forums, and generally behaving like unsupervised interns with root access. Meta launches Muse despite employees reporting security problems. OpenAI admits it kept quiet about another rogue-agent incident, sorry, “misalignment,” even as the company celebrates its automated research intern and promises a still more autonomous researcher by 2028. Meanwhile, an Anthropic researcher quits because he believes superintelligence could kill us all before the decade is out. Naturally, the industry's response is essentially: “Yes, but what if we did it responsibly?”There is some genuinely encouraging news: AI-generated drugs are showing intriguing early results in aging research. That's exactly the sort of AI application the Geeks can get behind—as long as we're talking about actual science and not an LLM confidently hallucinating a cure for everything.The autonomous future isn't looking much better. Tesla's Cybercabs arrive in Austin and almost immediately attract federal scrutiny over their self-certification and conspicuous lack of steering wheels, pedals, mirrors, and apparently even conventional door handles. Bitcoin's Liquid Network is relieved of roughly $320 million, after which the thieves return most of it and call the whole thing a “white hat” operation—because apparently robbing the bank and giving some of the money back now counts as a bug bounty.On the surveillance front, Massachusetts police are being forced to disclose where their license-plate readers are and what data they collect, while the backlash against Flock cameras continues. Meanwhile, the UK's attempt to protect children from online sexual abuse risks creating exactly the kind of universal scanning and surveillance infrastructure we've spent years warning about. Good intentions, meet spectacularly bad implementation.And because we apparently haven't suffered enough, Twitter is now Tweet.app. Star Trek turns sixty, and Paramount celebrates with cookware and a questionable episode. Silo gets a spinoff tease, Ted Lasso gives us a Christmas episode in September, and The Gentlemen returns with a season so good it makes reality TV feel like a traumatic brain injury. South Park becomes South America, Donnie Darko gets a 25th-anniversary 4K theatrical run, and several tech-industry documentaries promise varying degrees of psychological damage.Plus, Netflix keeps stuffing games into your subscription; LaCroix, sorry, Le Creuset, wants to put Star Trek in your kitchen; and the Geeks debate books, Libby, time travel, and whether surviving Dungeon Crawler Carl is worth the emotional investment.Welcome back to the future, where everything is automated, surveilled, self-driving, subscription-based and somehow still requires us to do all the damn work.Sponsors:CleanMyMac - Get Tidy Today!

On the Road to Damascus Acts 9:1-31 by William Klock When I was a sophomore in University I took the first of several art history courses, where I discovered—I should say it was more like I was confronted by—Caravaggio's famous painting of the conversion of St. Paul: Paul fallen from his horse, hands covering his face, his servants scrambling to figure out what's going on and to help him, everything in darkness—except Paul, bathed in heavenly light.  I'd read Act 9 who knows how many times before then.  But seeing Caravaggio's interpretation of that scene suddenly piqued my curiosity—made me wonder what really happened to Paul that day, what did he actually see, and why did it make such a powerful change in him.  Paul, that day, became for me—I suppose after Jesus—the most intriguing character in the Bible and I wanted to figure him out, to understand him—I think, because I wanted a faith of my own like Paul's, because I wanted to know the same kind of transformation, the same kind of passion, that Paul had after meeting the risen Messiah. And one of the things I came to realise is that Paul's passion, his zeal didn't start when he met Jesus on the road to Damascus.  Actually, let's call him “Saul” for now, because that's where he's at in Acts 9.  Saul's zeal was already there: for the God of Israel, for righteousness and justice, for the world to be set to rights.  He truly hoped in the God of Israel, whom he knew to be good, and just, and faithful to the promises he'd made to his people.  That was what it meant to be a Pharisee.  Paul knew that his people had sinned, they had been unfaithful, they had engaged in idolatry.  They had ceased to be a holy people, so the Lord departed from them.  His presence—the cloud of glory—departed from the temple and then the people were conquered and exiled to Babylon.  “You want to worship pagan gods,” the Lord was basically saying, “Fine, you can spend a few decades in Babylon living with the pagans and their gods and see how it works out for you.”  And the people of Judah learned the lesson.  They set aside their idols, they embraced the torah, and they longed for an end to their exile—they longed for the return of God's presence.  And they became a people of hopeful longing.  It's funny how experiencing God's discipline so often gives us more hope, because it just underscores all the more his faithfulness—to do what he said, even if it's making good on his promise of judgement.  They knew his promises of restoration if they repented were just as true. And in the meantime, with no temple and with no visible manifestation of the presence of God, they did the best they could.  They devoted themselves—the Pharisees more than others—but they devoted themselves to torah, to holiness.  If they couldn't go to the temple, they would become like the temple themselves—a holy people waiting for God to return to them.  And when they returned to Judaea and rebuilt the temple and the Lord still did not return, the empty temple—all the more—became the symbol for their longing.  And missing his presence, they would meditate on the very idea of the Lord's presence.  If they dared—and at least the later rabbis urged caution, based on the Lord's warning to Moses that “no one may see my face and live”—but if they dared, some would meditate on Ezekiel's weird and mysterious vision of the Lord in his heavenly chariot—not looking for some personal mystical experience, but out of a hope and a longing for the day when the Lord would return, when heaven earth, so long sundered by our sin, would be brought back together, for the day when the Lord's people would once again live in his glorious presence.  It was a longing borne of the absence of the temple and of God's presence there. It was this passionate longing for the Lord's return that fuelled the zeal of men like Saul of Tarsus.  This zealous young Pharisee, steeped in Israel's scriptures and Israel's story, with a passion for the Lord and a longing to see his return.  And in his mind, if anything was going to hinder the Lord's return to his people, it was the new Jesus movement, these people who blasphemously believed in a crucified Messiah.  It had to be stamped out.  And so Saul supervised the stoning of Stephen.  And now, as we get into Acts 9 [page 1090 in the pew Bibles) we find that he's one of the chief orchestrators of the persecution of the early church.  Luke writes: “Meanwhile, Saul was still breathing out threats and murder on the Lord's disciples. He went to the high priest and requested from him letters to the synagogues in Damascus, so that he could find people who belonged to the Way, men and women alike, tie them up, and bring them back to Jerusalem.” And along the way, I think that Paul was probably meditating.  Luke doesn't fill in these kinds of details, but between his telling of the story here and Paul's telling it later in his epistles, there are parallels with the accounts we have of Jews engaging in this practise of meditating on Ezekiel's vision.  Paul was a man of faith, a man of hope, a man who knew that the Lord is faithful to his promises.  And so he knew the Lord would return to his people and I think Paul lived out that hope in the present by just this sort of meditation on scripture.  Up and down with the rhythmic movement of what was probably a donkey—there are some stunning parallels here with Balaam even if this donkey never says a word—the hot sun beating down on him.  Breathe in.  Breathe out.  Recall Ezekiel.  Eyes closed, Paul pictures as best he could the four bizarre living creates, all wings and eyes, and the chariot wheels, somehow wheels within wheel all going different directions.  He concentrated and mentally looked upward from the wheels to the crystal chariot itself, and then to the throne where Ezekial wrote that he had seen a figure not unlike a human, but gleaming with holy fire.  I expect Paul had meditated like this before.  Maybe it had never come to much.  Just try it yourself.  Try to visualise what Ezekiel describes.  Good luck making sense of it.  Or maybe Paul had done this many times before and had really been met by the Lord, the God of Israel through this kind of meditation.  But this time was different.  Luke goes on: “While he was on the journey, and was getting near to Damascus, suddenly a light from heaven shone around him.  He fell on the ground and heard a voice speaking to him.  “Saul, Saul!” said the voice.  “Why are you persecuting me?”  “Who are you, Lord?” he asked.  “I am Jesus,” he said, “and you are persecuting me.  But get up and go into the city, and it will be told you what you have to do.” Saul, in his mind's eye looks up: angels, wheels, chariot, throne—and then the figure on the throne—to his shock—is Jesus, the crucified Messiah, now risen from the dead and here.  And Paul tries to tear himself away.  No!  He tries to open his eyes to escape the vision and realises that his eyes are already open.  This isn't a vision.  It's not in his head.  It's real.  It's really Jesus.  And the sight is too much to bear—in so many ways.  He throws up his hands as Caravaggio imagined him doing, as—stunned—he loses his balance and topples off his donkey.  And the vision of glory is still there.  Where Paul expected to see the God of Israel, there was Jesus and Jesus was asking, “Why are you persecuting me?”  And Paul's thinking that this just can't be.  “Who are you?” he asks, even though he already knows.  And the figure of glory confirms it, “I'm Jesus.”  And he might as well have said at the same time, “I'm the God of Israel, the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.”  And again, “Why are you persecuting me?”  And Paul, stunned, his whole world being rearranged and reinterpreted faster than he can take it in, he says nothing as Jesus tells him simply to go to Damascus and to wait. Luke says in verse 7: “The men who were traveling with Saul stood speechless.  They heard the voice but couldn't see anybody.  And Saul, he been struck absolutely blind by the vision.  So they led him by the hand and took him to Damascus.  He went for three days, being unable to see, and he neither ate nor drank.” I expect the gears in Saul's mind were spinning away like never before during those three days.  This man of prayer was suddenly praying like never before.  If Jesus was alive, it meant he really was Israel's Messiah.  It meant that the Lord, in him, had fulfilled already the very promises that Saul so longed to see fulfilled.  It meant that the Lord, in Jesus, had returned to his people.  It meant that God's new world had already begun.  Paul, intelligent and deeply steeped in Israel's scriptures, began the long, slow process of rethinking everything he knew in light of Jesus.  Paul knew—really knew the story, the scriptures.  I try to steep myself in those same scriptures and I'm like a watered down Americano compared to Saul.  Saul was a dark, black, espresso—the kind your spoon will stand up in.  That's how steeped he was in God's word.  It wasn't so much a “conversion” he experienced as it was a reorientation.  The temple, the presence of the Lord, the place where heaven and earth meet, had finally come to Saul.  And, too, those words of Jesus: “You're persecuting me.”  It meant that these people he'd been dragging off to prison, they were Jesus' people, his covenant family, even in some way an extension of himself.  God's promises to Abraham and to Moses and to David, the words of the Prophets, it all spent three days spinning through Saul's mind as he reevaluated everything in light of Jesus. Now, verse 10: “In Damascus there was a disciple named Ananias. The Lord spoke to him in a vision.  “Ananias!” he said.  “Here I am, Lord,” he replied.  “Get up,” said the Lord to him, “and go to the street called Straight.  Inquire at the house of Judas for a man from Tarsus named Saul.  Look, he's praying!  And he has seen, in a vision, a man named Ananias coming and laying his hands on him so that he can see again.” You can go to Straight Street today—even on Google Earth.  It runs from the last remaining Roman gate, through the Christian Quarter of the old city.  Imagine the shock of Ananias.  He may have been in Damascus having fled from Saul already.  And now he has a vision and the Lord tells him he needs to go to Saul.  You can almost hear his “Ummmm…”  Was this vision for real?  Had he heard right?  “Lord,” replied Ananias, “I've heard about this man from several people…all about how he's done wicked things to your holy people in Jerusalem…and now he's come here with authority from the chief priests to tie up everybody who calls on your name!”  Ananias is worried. “Just go,” replied the Lord. “He is a chosen vessel for me, to carry my name before nations and kings—and the children of Israel, too.  I am going to show him how many things he is going to have to suffer for the sake of my name.”  So Ananias set off, went into the house, and laid his hands on him.  “Brother Saul,” he said, “the Lord has sent me—yes, Jesus, who appeared to you on the road as you were coming here—so that you may be able to see again, and receive the holy spirit.” Worried, hesitant at first, Ananias' faith got the better of him.  Maybe on the way.  Maybe when he met Saul and there was so clearly something different about him.  “Brother Saul,” he called him.  As Jews, yes, they were brothers, but Ananias somehow recognised in Saul the same faith, the same Jesus, the same Spirit.  I don't think Ananias ever expected to be in a situation like this.  What do you do?  Jesus said that Saul had already had vision of Ananias laying hands on him, so that's what Ananias does.  He lays his hands on Saul and he prays, and Luke writes (verse 18): “At once something like scales fell off his eyes, and he was able to see.  He got up and was baptized.  He had something to eat and regained his strength.  Ananias and Saul stayed with the disciples in Damascus for a few days.” I wonder what happened when Ananias took Saul back to meet the other Christians in Damascus.  I expect there were some skeptics.  Was this just a fake-out by Saul to get in amongst them.  And I bet, when Ananias showed up to say, “You'll never guess what's happened!” there was someone else there, older, wise, steeped in the scriptures who wasn't surprised at all.  “Brother Ananias, why would you have expected otherwise?  This is how our God does things.”  God dealt with the persecution of his people by making their persecutor one of them.  And Saul?  Well, he's as zealous for God as ever; Jesus has just given him new direction.  While the rest of the saints in Damascus were hiding, now that he can see again, Saul marches straight to the local synagogue to proclaim Jesus, risen and Lord.  Luke goes on: “At once he proclaimed Jesus in the synagogues, saying, “This really is the son of God!”  Everyone was astonished, and said, “Isn't this the man who caused havoc to those in Jerusalem who call on this name?  And here he is, coming to tie them up and take them off to the high priests!”  But Saul grew all the stronger, and threw the Jews in Damascus into confusion by demonstrating that Jesus is indeed the Messiah.” I bet.  Saul was one of the best of them.  He knew the scriptures and the promises of God inside out and upside down.  He was brilliant.  And he was passionately zealous for God.  And I expect—you know how when you figure something out that you've been wrestling with for a long time and it lights a fire under you and you get really excited to tell other people?—well, meeting Jesus lit that kind of fire under Saul.  It would take him a long time to really work it all through—he would go off to Arabia by himself to work it all through—but already he's been rethinking what meeting Jesus means about the God of Israel and about what it means to be Israel.  Even what it means that Jesus is the God of Israel.  And so he went to his fellow Jews to proclaim this good news.  To tell them that Jesus is the son of God.  This is, by the way, the first time in Acts we hear Jesus called “son of God”.  It was a big deal.  And then Luke says that the other thing Saul was eager to do was to explain to his fellow Jews that Jesus was the Messiah—or maybe it would better to say that the Messiah was Jesus.  Because given the context here in Acts and what we know of Paul later from his epistles and how he roots everything so deeply and richly in the Old Testament, I expect he was in the synagogue in Damascus reminding the people there of the scriptures and especially of these two ideas, these two characters: the son of God and the Messiah.  “Son of God” isn't used much in the Old Testament, but when it is, it refers to Israel.  God said to Pharaoh, “Israel is my firstborn son”.  But Jesus is also the son of David, the Messiah.  And God had promised that David would have a son who would build the temple.  God would raise him up and he would sit on David's throne.  “I will be a father to him,” God had declared in 2 Samuel 7, “and he will be my son.”  All this is swirling madly in Saul's mind and starting to take shape, to make sense.  And then there was Psalm 2, invoked by the first Christians as they faced persecution.  God confronts the wicked rulers of the world and declares that he has set up his King in Zion and that the nations will tremble before him.  He's the one to whom the Lord has made his firm decree, “You are my son, this day I have begotten you.”  Luke doesn't tell us exactly what Paul preached or even if he preached.  Maybe he just hung out at the synagogue and proclaimed the good news to whomever would listen.  But knowing Paul, I have to think he did some preaching.  And he reminded his people of God and of his promises and he appealed to their hope: God's promise to return to his people.  God's promise to set the world to rights.  God's promise to bring the nations under his sovereign rule.  And how all this is now coming true, how it's being fulfilled in Jesus the Messiah.  Through him God will reach out to the gentiles and bring them under his sovereign rule and make them his inheritance.  How the Messiah will rule them with wisdom and justice just as God promised.  This would be the heart of Paul's preaching: The risen Messiah is God's anointed King.  He's God's son, he shed his blood to purify us from our sins that he might bring us back from our long exile.  He's God's son who has built a new temple, a house for his Holy Spirit.  In him God's promises are being fulfilled.  2 Samuel 7, Psalm 2, Psalms 72 and 89 and 26 and 27.  God's promises.  Psalm about Israel's hope.  Psalms about the Messiah.  We know from the scrolls we've found at Qumran that how Paul was handling these scriptures was exactly the way other Jewish groups in his day were handling these scriptures and asking the same questions.  And struggling to find an answer.  Because no one ever dreamed that a man who was crucified could be the Messiah.  But Paul had met him, risen from the dead.  And the dots began to connect.  The royal psalms began to connect with the psalms of lament.  The great king who would rule Israel and the nations began to connect with the suffering servant who represented Israel.  And then it gelled: The king represents his people so that he can stand in for them.  So that what happens to him, happens to them—and what happens to them, happens to him.  And so the king died.  And then the king rose from the dead.  And in that great act, God had declared: “See!  This really is my son.  And with him I am well-pleased!”  Pleased with his beloved son—and through him, pleased with his beloved sons and daughters. And surely some believed.  But others were angry.  Verse 23: “After some days, the Jews made a plot to kill him, but Saul got wind of their plan.  They were watching the city gates day and night so that they could do away with him.  But the disciples took him by night and let him down through the wall, lowering him in a basket. When he got back to Jerusalem he tried to join the disciples, but they were all afraid of him, not believing that he really was a disciple.  But Barnabas took him, brought him to the apostles, and explained to them how he had seen the Lord on the road, and that he had spoken to him, and how in Damascus he had spoken boldly in the name of Jesus.  He was with them in Jerusalem, coming and going and speaking boldly in the name of the Lord.  He spoke, as well, to the Hellenists, who tried to kill him.  But the brothers heard of it and took him down to Caesarea. There they sent him off to Tarsus.  So the church in all Judaea, Galilee, and Samaria found itself at peace.  It was built up and gained in numbers, living in the fear of the Lord and the comfort of the Holy Spirit.” And Paul knew, this too is how God works.  He saved the brothers and sisters in Damascus from their persecutor.  But Saul, well, God humbles him.  He has to be lowered over the wall in a basket so he can run.  Sometimes that's also how God works.  He was preparing Saul for his missionary task and the struggles and dangers and humiliations that would come with it.  Even returning to Jerusalem, he is initially rejected by the apostles.  God bless Barnabas—the “son of comfort”—he vouched for Saul and told him that he really had met Jesus on the road to Damascus and that all the rest was, in fact, true, no matter how impossible it seemed.  And Saul then proved himself in Jerusalem, preaching to the Hellenists who promptly set about to kill him. And so Peter and the others packed him off.  Luke doesn't say exactly why.  Maybe the trouble his zeal for Jesus stirred up in Jerusalem was just too much right then.  Maybe they knew that Saul needed to go home to Tarsus, to begin his preaching with the people who knew him.  So—and not for the last time—Saul boarded a ship and set sail.  This would be the pattern for the rest of his life. Brothers and Sisters, Saul of Tarsus—Paul—knew better than anyone that Jesus changes everything.  That Jesus is the embodiment of God's goodness, his mercy, his love, and maybe most importantly his faithfulness.  Remember that last week we looked at that bit of Paul's writing in 2 Corinthians where he talks about the glory of God that was on display in the Exodus: at the burning bush, in the plagues, at the Red Sea, at Mount Sinai, in the cloud of glory that descended on the tabernacle.  And he wrote that Jesus upstaged it all.  The Messiah he met on the road to Damascus revealed the glory of God in a way Paul had never imagined possible.  Brothers and Sisters, may we encounter that same glory ourselves. I think for most—probably all of us—our experience of God's glory is far more hum-drum and ordinary and unsensational.  Maybe that's because, as far as being steeped in scripture and knowing the glory of God revealed there, we're a watered down Americano.  We're like those can of LaCroix that say they're orange flavoured, but the flavour is so weak—well—you wonder if it's just carbonated water that was bottled in a plant where there was a solitary orange sitting in the corner to imparts the tiniest hint of its essence.  Paul was the opposite.  And we need to aspire to be like him.  Pray that God will give us a hunger for his word and a desire to know him and to know the story.  My observation has always been that the better people know the story, the more saintly and the more passionate they are, the more zealous they are for the Lord and for his good news.  Steep yourselves in the scripture.  And meditate on your baptism and how Jesus has brought you through the water into life with him.  How he's plunged us into God's Spirit and given us new life.  And come to his Table.  Eat the bread, drink the wine, and recall what God has done for us in Jesus, in his incarnation, in his death, and in his resurrection.  Experience here the fulfilment of all God's promises that you might see his glory.  Then be the people who—like Saul who just couldn't stay quiet—make that glory known in the world.   Let's pray: Almighty and merciful God, by whose gift alone your faithful people offer you true and laudable service: Grant that we may run without stumbling to obtain your heavenly promises; that we might truly see and know your glory along the way; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever.  Amen.

Take a run with The Human Potential Running Series podcast. In Episode 83 of the show, host John Lacroix reunites with his former co-host Stefan Schuster to discuss Schuster's newly released book, Beyond the Single Track: How Ultra Running Taught Me to Live. After opening with a humorous conversation spanning classic movies, acting cameos, and historical assassination trivia, the two dive into an in-depth exploration of the book-writing and publishing process. Schuster details the six-year journey of crafting his memoir, the importance of incorporating reflections on personal growth at the end of each chapter, the vulnerabilities of sharing intimate life lessons, and the practical realities of indie publishing and working with an editor. Lacroix also shares insights and hurdles from his own ongoing book project, leading to a candid discussion between the two about finding purpose in ultrarunning, using creative projects as therapeutic tools to process life experiences, and giving back to the running community.

Matthew's Website:TheStageofTime.comLong before Matthew LaCroix became one of today's most recognized researchers of ancient history, lost civilizations and the mysteries of consciousness, he joined Robert Kalil on the Typical Skeptic Podcast for this fascinating early conversation.In this TSP Classic Archives release, Matthew explores the possibility that our everyday perception of reality—and even our individual identity—may be part of a much greater illusion. From consciousness and the hero's journey to the rise and fall of civilizations, this discussion asks what humanity's oldest surviving records might reveal about who we are and where we came from.We journey deep into ancient Mesopotamia and the world of Sumerian cuneiform tablets, examining Anunnaki history, the Atrahasis Epic, the Code of Hammurabi and other influential writings preserved from the ancient world. How much of humanity's forgotten story may still be encoded within these texts? Were our earliest civilizations trying to preserve knowledge about catastrophic cycles, powerful beings and the true nature of existence?Matthew also discusses ideas explored throughout his books, *The Illusion of Us* and *The Stage of Time*, connecting ancient history with consciousness, personal transformation and the timeless hero's journey.This conversation captures an early chapter in Matthew LaCroix's work—before his research reached the much larger audience it has today. It remains a thought-provoking exploration of ancient knowledge, human consciousness and the hidden forces that may have shaped civilization.Topics include:• The Anunnaki and ancient Mesopotamian history• Sumerian cuneiform tablets• The Atrahasis Epic and ancient flood traditions• The Code of Hammurabi• Consciousness and the illusion of the individual self• The hero's journey• Lost civilizations and forgotten history• *The Illusion of Us*• *The Stage of Time*• Humanity's place within the cycles of timeGo deep, keep an open mind, and decide for yourself.Typical Skeptic Podcast“We Go Deep—You Decide”Established 2019#MatthewLaCroix #Anunnaki #SumerianTablets #AncientHistory #Atrahasis #CodeOfHammurabi #Consciousness #TheIllusionOfUs #TheStageOfTime #LostCivilizations #SumerianHistory #HerosJourney #AncientMysteries #TSPClassics #TypicalSkepticPodcast

James has been keenly looking forward to this one with the prospects of Crystal Palace assets potentially appealing for the long-term in FPL, but rumours of a move away for Daniel Munoz have thrown doubt into his mind, and there are further warmings from Palace fan Ruaidhri McLaughlin-Dowd about their assets. Lacroix has gone, as said Munoz may follow, could more leave? And what do Palace want to invest in? There's coverage of several interesting FPL prospects including Dean Henderson, Chris Richards, Tyrick Mitchell, Isamaila Sarr and Jean-Philippe Mateta. And an intro to new boss Pierre Sage who leads Palace into the Europa League and takes over from Oliver Glasner who has departed following the Conference League victory.

Preseason is over, Xabi Alonso's Bridge debut is this weekend, and somehow Chelsea are already a trophy up for the season. We name a standout, a disappointment, and admit we're more excited than we've been in years.Neither of us watched much of this preseason — that's the honest opener — but there was enough to draw conclusions from, and with Real Sociedad at the Bridge this weekend closing it out, we figured it was time to hand out awards. Real talk up front: Jason doesn't put much stock in preseason as a rule, and this year reinforced why. A “lock” (defensive player) got fouled heavily out there and it soured the whole exercise for him — friendlies should stay friendly. But even with the caveats, both of us walked away more optimistic about a Chelsea season than we've been in years.What Did We Actually Learn?Not as much as you'd hope. Morgan Rogers didn't feature at all before this week. Reece James didn't play a single preseason minute. Lacroix didn't play. Enzo's future is still unresolved. That's three, potentially four starters who never touched the pitch together, which means our attacking three of Rogers, Palmer, and João Pedro built zero preseason chemistry, and nobody has any real idea where Reece is even going to line up. The lineup against Johor Darul Ta'zim was about as academy-heavy as it gets — Sharman-Lowe in goal, a back three of Subuloye, Tosin, and Anselmino, Quenda and Gittens out wide, Essugo captaining a midfield with Nicoll-Jazuli, Estêvão in the hole, Jackson and Delap up top — and an almost unused bench because half the squad had already been sent home or was running on fumes from the match before. Coming out of it, we probably have as many questions as we went in with. Where does Reece play? Who does Lacroix actually replace? What happens to Quenda's minutes with Rogers, Neto, and Mudryk all wanting the same spots?The Squad Bloat Problem, AgainStill 45-ish players on the senior list, with Xabi reportedly wanting it down to 25. The transfer window closes September 1st at 6pm American time — three weeks from the recording date — and Chelsea still haven't moved Disasi, Badiashile, Tosin, Anselmino, Jackson, or Delap, plus Guiu still hanging around. People keep saying Chelsea are clearing deadwood. They aren't — a handful of academy loans doesn't count, and nobody wants to buy the players actually clogging the roster, because BlueCo overpriced them the first time around. The Athletic reported that some in the traveling party felt Xabi was running an A-team and B-team in preseason and that the B-team players sensed they weren't in his plans. Chelsea deny a formal two-tier system, but honestly — of course there's a pecking order forming. That's what a proper preseason is for. Some of you just aren't going to play. Fight for your spot.Standout of the Preseason: Marco PalestraUnanimous, and it isn't close. “Pastrami” was the best player in every match either of us caught — tireless, strong defensively, dangerous going forward, constantly getting up and down the right. He played right wing-back for Rúben Amorim at Sporting, so the position switch isn't new to him at all, and BlueCo, credit where due, got this signing right. Reigning Serie A Defender of the Season, and it showed. Other shoutouts: João Pedro for continuing exactly what he started last summer, Estêvão for looking the part again, Geovany Quenda for justifying a year of hype on this podcast alone, and Roméo Lavia — who, after three years at the club, finally completed a full 90 minutes. That's not a joke entry. That's the actual highlight some fans are pointing to.Worst of the Preseason: Tosin, Running Away With ItSome of the worst defending either of us has seen from a Chelsea player, full stop. We floated the theory that Tosin's entire remaining employment is a Cole Palmer loyalty play — Palmer goes to bat for his buddy, the club humors it, and now that Palmer has a new bestie in Morgan Rogers, maybe that's finally the door closing on Tosin. He's reportedly linked to Benfica, but the honest read is nobody sane pays real money for him — just cut the contract, since he cost nothing and there's no amortization to lose, and let him walk. Nico Jackson gets an honorable dishonorable mention: flashes of what he can do, still can't finish, and his framing in this Xabi system is genuinely unclear — a start-caliber player who might have to accept a bench role, when Chelsea might honestly rather have 35-year-old Danny Welbeck as the actual impact sub, because Welbeck finishes and Jackson doesn't. Also worth noting: Jackson volunteered to be subbed off early against Johor Darul Ta'zim specifically so Mudryk could get on the pitch before full time — genuinely selfless, and worth the shoutout on its own.Mudryk's Back, and So Is Austin MacPhee's TemperWe may have buried the lede on this one: Mudryk's actual return to a matchday shirt might have been the highlight of the whole preseason, full stop. And separately — Austin MacPhee, our set-piece coach and the man this podcast was talking up two weeks before anyone else noticed him, got caught on video screaming at a Johor Darul Ta'zim staffer to shut up after a nasty tackle on Liam Delap, to the point that Xabi Alonso had to physically pull him away. We'll take it. The man cares, and we're already crediting him for some genuinely sharp set-piece goals this preseason.We Also, Somehow, Won a TrophyBeating AC Milan came with the Indonesian Super Cup attached, which neither of us knew was on the line until the broadcast mentioned it mid-match. So: Xabi Alonso has technically already won a trophy at Chelsea. We're not rating it anywhere near a Community Shield or a UEFA Super Cup, let alone anything that matters, but you don't turn down a trophy. Put it in the cabinet and don't ask questions. Meanwhile Arsenal are probably about to win the actual Community Shield and spend the next several weeks reminding everyone about it — after a genuinely bad end to last season that this podcast watched in real time. Enjoy it while you can; Anthony Taylor isn't walking through that door to bail you out this year.Where This Leaves UsGenuinely more optimistic than last year, and for a specific reason: this is the first summer in the BlueCo era where our best players got proper rest. Cole Palmer and João Pedro skipped the World Cup and had a full offseason, unlike last year's fitness-compromised group. Reece James played 29 games and came out the other side of the World Cup okay, minus a one-match absence for a minor procedure. Jason's officially predicting a top-four finish this year — he didn't predict that last season — and thinks there's a real shot at silverware, while also, in the same breath, floating that Chelsea could bow out in the second round of the EFL Cup. Both things can be true. It's the first season in five years either of us has actually been excited about, and we're trying not to let that scare us.What's ComingSeason five of the podcast kicks off properly Monday with the official predictions episode. New for this season: a weekly Premier League predictions show (working title: Ten Wrongs in a Row), Thursday transfer coverage continuing until the window shuts and then pivoting to a looser Thursday live format, and the return of the Wheel — likely as a recurring “Us vs. The Wheel” segment letting a spin call one match's outcome a week.

If you know me, you know I love books — love looking at them on my shelf, love losing myself in them, love the people who write them. So I feel very lucky to have had the chance to talk with author Greta Lacroix. Greta wrote Love on the Run, a romance novel focused around a Toronto run crew. But the real story here is one of perseverance. Greta is both a longtime runner and marathoner, and her path to becoming a published author followed the same rhythm as her running: ebbs and flows, stretches where she had to pull back and regroup, and moments where the only way forward was to put her head down and get it done. And in both areas of her life, community carried her — the writers and runners around her made her stronger and more confident, one page and one mile at a time.

Red, White & Blues FC | Butterfly Tattoos, a Mid-Episode Signing, and City CirclingChalobah's gone, City want three of ours, Chelsea completed a transfer while we were literally recording, and we made a tattoo pact on air. Normal Thursday.We open the only correct way — laughing at Arsenal, who apparently believed they had a shot at Vinícius Júnior right up until he pointed out he isn't tired of winning Champions Leagues yet. From there it's a rumor-mill episode, because there's exactly one confirmed piece of Chelsea business this week and about fifteen things that might be. Jason delivers a full monologue on why transfer season is the footballing equivalent of being cornered by someone describing their dream. And then, halfway through the Enzo conversation, Fabrizio broke a deal live and we had a new signing before the episode ended.Farewell, Trevoh ChalobahThe one concrete thing: Chalobah is officially a Como player, €30m plus €6m in add-ons. He'd been at the club roughly twenty years and BlueCo never knew what to do with him — treated like an afterthought, shipped out on loan, brought back, never quite trusted. Neither of us pretends he was world class, but that was always fine. He was an excellent role player who could cover injuries, give you cup minutes, and actually loved Chelsea, and you need those in a squad. He was better than Disasi, better than Badiashile, and frequently better than Fofana. Thanks, Trev. Enjoy Italy. BlueCo got their £30m of pure profit.The Rumor Mill: Osimhen, Diogo Costa, and Too Many DefendersTottenham have made an offer for Victor Osimhen, so naturally Chelsea might go back in for Osimhen — because they have a toy and now we want the toy. That's three summers running. It fell apart on wages last time, he's two years older, and nothing about the math has changed. More interesting: Portuguese reports have Chelsea in talks for Diogo Costa and ready to match his €60m release clause, which is the one goalkeeper move we're both fully on board with, even if he'd be inheriting the same shambolic back line. On which — do we need more defenders? Yes, but we still have Disasi, Badiashile, Tosin, Mamadou Sarr, and Aarón Anselmino sitting there, and only the last two have youth as an excuse. Badiashile's linked to Napoli, Tosin reportedly has “lots of interest” per Fabrizio (please, take him), and Crystal Palace have submitted a loan with an obligation to buy for Disasi — take it, take five pounds, just get out of the Disasi business. Move those three and you're left with Fofana, Lacroix, Colwill, Anselmino and Hato covering in, which is enough. Sell this summer, clear the deadwood, buy quality next year once we're back in the Champions League.The Butterfly Tattoo PactThen the bad news: Chelsea are reportedly leaning toward a transfer or loan for Mudryk to Strasbourg. We said on Monday we'd riot, and we meant it — this administration was already dead to Jason, and he's not sure what's past dead. Daniel's position is that if Mudryk leaves, the title dream is gone, Champions League is gone, we're in the Conference League, we might not qualify for Europe at all. His actual vision for the season: Chelsea win the league by three points because Mudryk comes off the bench to score a 90th-minute winner against Arsenal in a 2-1. And so the pact, arrived at independently by both of us, which is what almost thirty years of friendship does to two people: if Mudryk stays and Chelsea win the league, we both get the exact butterfly tattoo. One cheek each. Possibly a wing apiece so we can moon people in formation. The one loan destination we'd actually enjoy is Coventry, purely to watch Frank Lampard coach up Mudryk — and it's genuinely nice to see Lamps is a good manager after all, just one who was handed two impossible situations at Chelsea.City Want Three of Ours, and Has Enzo Peaked?Manchester City have been linked with three Chelsea players in one day: Malo Gusto at £75m, Pedro Neto around £70m, and now Enzo Fernández, with Rodri reportedly off to Barcelona and Maresca wanting Enzo as the replacement. The Gusto number is Chelsea pricing a player so he doesn't sell — City said interested, but absolutely not at 75, which is what anyone with a footballing brain would say. Neto's number, by contrast, is priced to be paid, and the official line that he's “a very important part of the squad but the price would have to be right” translates cleanly as: we'll sell him tomorrow to a big enough sucker. Neither of us will miss Neto, a player who does almost nothing with an enormous amount of talent and whose main skill is spamming crosses without knowing where they're going. The Enzo conversation is the meatiest thing in the episode. Has he peaked? Jason thinks roughly yes — 20 goal contributions a year is his ceiling, and last season's 10 goals and 4 assists are attacking-midfielder numbers, not the Fàbregas-style controller you'd want beside Caicedo. That's exactly why the pivot fails: Caicedo drops to a fifth defender, Enzo pushes forward, and Chelsea simply cede the middle of the pitch, which is what Maresca did to us all season. Lavia is the right profile, if Lavia could ever string together ninety minutes, which in three years he hasn't. We both like Enzo, both think he plays hard for the badge — and both suspect he's a mercenary who'd play just as hard for City's badge the moment they pay him.And Then We Signed Someone Mid-EpisodePep Chavarría to Chelsea, broken by Fabrizio while we were recording: €19m plus €2m in add-ons, flying for a medical, signatures the same night. A 28-year-old left back from Rayo Vallecano who has never been capped by Spain. Daniel's verdict is blunt — this is not a Xabi Alonso signing, this is 100% a BlueCo signing, and the idea that every arrival this window is an Alonso pick is a narrative the club is happy to let run. In fairness, Chelsea genuinely don't have a left back since Cucurella left; Hato can do it but is better at left center back, and Palestra can technically cover. The question is whether we've just bought a starter or a very expensive backup. Elsewhere in the Juventus match: Hato started at left back, Palestra and Quenda linked up well on the right and Quenda had a strong first half, Fofana has publicly announced he wants to prove he can be the player we thought he was before the injuries — which mostly tells you he knows what the rest of us know. The squad is bloated, more players keep arriving, and the thing Chelsea are worst at is the thing they most urgently need to do. As Jason puts it: BlueCo aren't bad at selling players, they're bad at buying them, and then they have to sell the bad players they bought, and nobody wants them because they're bad.Programming NoteThe live Thursday show didn't happen this week and probably won't next week either — most likely we kick it off properly when the season starts.

Many consumer buying choices are now known to be ruled by subconscious emotions rather than rational thought and those decisions often get made in the "blink of an eye". Design expert Jean Pierre Lacroix calls this the "Blink Factor" and he believes brands need to own the single emotion that triggers consumer choice in their category.

Are your “type” and your ex's labels getting in the way of finding love?Brian takes aim at two of the biggest obstacles in modern dating: labels and type. From casually diagnosing every bad ex as a “narcissist” to ruling out potential partners because they're the wrong height, personality, political affiliation - or even the wrong LaCroix flavor - Brian argues that we've become far too good at finding reasons to keep people out.Instead of asking, “What's wrong with them?” Brian challenges us to ask a harder question: What part did I play in the outcome? He explains why “He was a narcissist” and “She was crazy” are often lazy explanations for relationships that simply didn't work, why being “not my type” is one of the most damaging phrases in dating, and why the person you least expect could ultimately be the person who changes everything.

Red, White & Blues FC | Old FC: Lacroix, Welbeck, Henderson, and a Squad Nobody Will BuyChelsea finally bought a center back, then signed two 35-year-olds, and still haven't sold a single one of the players clogging the squad. Daniel called it. Jason owes him a rubber duck.Daniel predicted on Monday that Chelsea were turning into Old FC, and by Thursday the club had gone and proved him right, so the predictions baton — an actual rubber duck — changes hands next weekend. This is a pure transfer episode: Maxence Lacroix in from Crystal Palace for £52m, Danny Welbeck in from Brighton, Jordan Henderson in on a free, and absolutely nobody going the other way. We save the UEFA and Infantino mess for Monday. What we've got here instead is a squad getting more bloated by the week, a set of owners who still can't sell anybody, and one manager we're both quietly leaning on to make sense of it all.Maxence Lacroix, or “Mid With Hope”The center back BlueCo couldn't get for our manager last summer finally arrives — £52m, 26 years old, and the first player over 26 Chelsea have signed since 2022. Jason's verdict lands on a phrase we're keeping: mid with hope. Lacroix is Premier League proven with a genuinely excellent injury record — barely a match missed since arriving in England, one 71-day shoulder problem at Wolfsburg, and a bout of COVID. But he's a back-three center back who played in a back three at Palace, and if you stick him next to Levi Colwill in a four, we're worried. When Saliba went off at the World Cup and Lacroix came in, France's defense fell apart and he had a couple of knucklehead moments. And the comparison set is the problem: is he better than Wesley Fofana, Trevoh Chalobah, Axel Disasi, Benoît Badiashile? Probably. By how much? We wanted a stalwart to lock down next to Colwill for six years. We got another player we'll be arguing about in January.And What Happens to Josh Acheampong?The saddest thread of the night. Simon Johnson reported Chelsea rate Josh Acheampong so highly they've labeled him untouchable and keep rebuffing approaches — while simultaneously signing over the top of him and barely playing him. Maresca gave him almost nothing last season, which made it close to a wasted year, and now Lacroix arrives on the right side of the defense and blocks him again. We both want the same thing for him: a loan. It's exactly what worked for Colwill, who went out twice and came back a starter. Send him to a Championship side, send him to a bottom-half Premier League club, hell, send him to Lamps at Coventry — anything but another season of training at Cobham. If Josh comes out and asks to leave, neither of us would be shocked, and neither of us would blame him.Old FC Arrives: Welbeck, Henderson, and the Pendulum ProblemThen the big one. Two 35-plus signings in a week — Danny Welbeck from Brighton for an undisclosed fee, and Jordan Henderson on a free. Welbeck, Daniel can be talked into: one of the league's best bench goalscorers, and he's personally tormented Chelsea for three years, so at minimum we stop suffering. But the fee being undisclosed tells Daniel we overpaid, and because it's Brighton, we definitely overpaid. Henderson, though, nobody can sell us on. He's not closing out matches at 36, and the “he'll bring maturity and help Xabi from the sideline” argument doesn't land when we're still a squad of shitheads who'll do shithead things. The deeper frustration is that this is BlueCo overcorrecting: Chelsea fans asked for experience for four years, and instead of a 27- or 28-year-old who can still contribute, the pendulum swung straight past to two guys a step from retirement. The Reddit meme says it best — red pill, blue pill, below 21 or above 35, pick your poison. And it's not like there was competition. There was no secret race for Danny Welbeck.The Real Problem: Chelsea Can't Sell AnybodyUnderneath every complaint tonight is the same structural issue. Chelsea bring in a fourth backup striker while Nicolas Jackson, Liam Delap, and Marc Guiu are all still here. They buy shitty players, then demand astronomical fees for those shitty players because they're trying to recoup, which is exactly why Badiashile's fee can't be agreed and why Disasi can't be shifted. Delap cost £30m, got hurt for a chunk of the season, scored two goals in the League Cup, and is now valued at £35–40m — which only works if you find another sucker club, and Arsenal can't be the sucker club every single window. Jackson's valued around $60m, which is the same overvaluation that pushed him out on loan to Bayern last year. Add the loans we part-subsidize and the picture is a club that talks about buying while the bloat gets worse. Elsewhere in the rumor pile: Badiashile to Napoli on loan with an option nobody expects Napoli to exercise, Filip Jørgensen off the tour and headed to Strasbourg (our sincere apologies, Strasbourg — you've deserved better, and you've had Andrey Santos and Emegha work out fine), Pedro Neto priced somewhere near £70–80m because Chelsea are using this summer's winger fees as their benchmark, Kendry Páez on the loan list again with attitude questions, Kerim Alajbegović off to Juventus rather than be a project player here, Murillo linked out of a Brazilian outlet, Alex Scott still circling as the midfielder we'd sign only if Enzo goes, and Mamadou Sarr needing an English loan after we wrecked his season for no reason.Lewis Hall, and the Part That Actually HurtsThe one that gets us: Chelsea want Lewis Hall back. Our own academy player, sold by BlueCo, now reportedly no fan of the club, and the plan is apparently to lean on Xabi Alonso to charm him home. We both like Hall. That's the point. Buying back a homegrown kid you never should have sold doesn't read as humility, it reads as incompetence — and what does it do to your precious pure-profit column? That takes us into the closing rant, and it's the honest one. We're watching a club run by people who are demonstrably brilliant at private equity and demonstrably clueless at football, and Paul Winstanley and Laurence Stewart should have been gone years ago instead of collecting raises. Jason's tempering the hype this time — he rode the train last season and it blew up — but he'll admit Xabi is the only reason any of this holds together, because unlike the last few, this one has actually walked the walk. And Daniel's first bold prediction of the season: Jordan Henderson will spend more time in the infirmary with Roméo Lavia than with any other midfielder. Lavia, naturally, is already hurt. It's preseason. This is a public episode. If you would like to discuss this with other subscribers or get access to bonus episodes, visit redwhitebluesfc.substack.com

As the final installment of Fr. John's cycling-French saint pairings, this week's podcast explores the charisms of one of the great friendships of Church history - St. Francis de Sales and St. Jane Frances de Chantal. Centered on the shared life in Annecy and the foundation of the Visitation religious community, Fr. John and Fr. Sean unpack some of the seminal insights of St. Francis' Introduction to the Devout Life. Tying this into the cycling history of the famous Col de la Croix de Fer (or "Pass of the Iron Cross"), they hope to instill a sense of our heroic capacity in Christ through the ordinary and everyday things of life.

In this week's episode of The Learning Curve, co-hosts retired Minnesota Supreme Court Justice Barry Anderson and Massachusetts state champion U.S. history and civics teacher Kelley Brown speak with Alison LaCroix, the Newton Reid Professor of Law at the University of Chicago, about the constitutional foundations of American federalism. Drawing on her book, The Ideological Origins of American Federalism, Prof. LaCroix explores the ancient Greek and Roman, the Enlightenment, and British Common Law models of federalism that so powerfully influenced Anglo-American constitutional thought. She discusses the Revolutionary and Founding generations' understanding of the natural law, the rights of colonies, and how national and state authority should be divided in a modern commercial republic, including the constitutional ideas of the American statesmen James Otis, John Adams, James Madison, and Alexander Hamilton. Then, Prof. LaCroix provides an overview of her recent book The Interbellum Constitution: Union, Commerce, and Slavery in the Age of Federalisms. She examines the enduring historical and legal influences of the Marshall Court; Jeffersonian Supreme Court Justice William Johnson; Gibbons v. Ogden; and Cherokee Nation v. Georgia, on the various modes of early-19th century American federalism. Prof. LaCroix closes with a reading from The Interbellum Constitution.

The tingles are back. Chelsea just dropped £117m on Morgan Rogers, prised from under Arsenal's nose, and suddenly a squad still recovering from 10th place feels like one building something real. Chris and Joe run through the incomings — Rogers, a possible John Stones reunion, Lacroix closing in from Palace — and the outgoings, with Nicolas Jackson splitting opinion, Garnacho definitely not, and Enzo Fernández's future still in doubt. They map out Xabi Alonso's likely shape too, 3-4-3 or 4-2-3-1, and ask what a front four of Rogers, Palmer, Estêvão and Joao Pedro actually means for teams sitting deep. _____________________________________ * Support the Show * Write us a 5 star review Follow the show ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠on Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Share it with a fellow Chelsea fan _____________________________________ * Meet the Hosts * ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Chris Sheen⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ and ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Joe Kevin⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ are lifelong Chelsea fans who've been going to Stamford Bridge for over 30 years.

Hotel Jerome general manager Stephane Lacroix shares how Aspen's historic luxury hotel preserves its soul, builds a culture of service and delivers a guest experience rooted in quiet luxury. Why This Episode MattersWhy true luxury is more about attention than flashHow historic hotels stay relevant without losing their sense of placeWhat leaders can do to build trust before asking employees to performWhy excellent  service depends on communication and recovery, not perfectionBanterMark Pascal and Francis Schott begin their Aspen Food & Wine Classic adventure at Hotel Jerome, where they found what they considered the best cocktail bar in Aspen: Bad Harriet. The clue that someone was paying attention? A bottle of Hans Reisetbauer Carrot Eau de Vie on the back bar, which is not exactly the sort of thing that wanders in by accident.The ConversationStephane Lacroix joins Mark and Francis at Hotel Jerome in Aspen to talk about leadership, luxury and the daily work of making guests feel deeply cared for. He traces his path from French hospitality and sommelier training to roles at some of the world's most celebrated hotels and restaurants, including Hôtel de Paris Monte-Carlo, the Ritz Paris, the Watergate Hotel, Hotel Bel-Air and Baccarat Hotel New York.The conversation centers on Hotel Jerome, a historic Aspen property that Stephane describes as having real soul. Rather than reinventing the hotel, his work is to protect its character, connect with the community and keep the guest experience current without making it feel generic.Mark shares a story from Julie's childhood visit to Hotel Jerome, when a young guest who wanted McDonald's was served exactly that under a cloche. For Mark and Francis, it becomes a perfect example of hospitality: making someone feel like the most important person in the room.Stephane also discusses training, trust, service recovery and why great hospitality cannot be scripted. The team is expected to communicate mistakes, recover quickly and quietly watch over guests without overwhelming them. By the end, he defines modern luxury as “quiet luxury”: knowing who your guests are, being there when they need you and letting them be when they do not.Timestamps0:00 Mark and Francis introduce Hotel Jerome and Bad Harriet3:30 Stephane Lacroix joins from Aspen4:40 From French hospitality school to Ducasse, the Ritz and the Watergate9:30 Why hospitality people should only text from the car12:15 The McDonald's-under-a-cloche story15:00 Hotel Jerome's history, soul and sense of place18:30 Resetting the hotel and the team each spring25:00 Understated luxury and Aspen's local culture30:30 Training, trust and avoiding scripted service35:30 Mistakes, recovery and treating every guest like a VIP41:00 Quiet luxury and the power of human connectionBioStephane Lacroix is the general manager of Hotel Jerome in Aspen, Colorado, part of Auberge Resorts Collection.
