"In conversations about science and faith, Jesus Christ rarely comes up." So begins the introduction to a 2018 anthology of essays titled Christ and the Created Order - Perspectives from Theology, Philosophy, and Science, edited by Andrew B. Torrance and Thomas H. McCall.  If Jesus is to have first place in everything, that means He should have first place in discussions about science and theology. But sadly, for many reasons historically, theologically, philosophically, and scientifically, He does not. What do we do? What should we do? How should we see Jesus in relation to all that He has made?  On this episode of Good Heavens! we interview Dr. Torrance about the necessity for Christians to cultivate a truly Christ-centered view of looking at creation. Andrew holds a doctorate from the University of Otago and "is research fellow at St. Mary's College, the School of Divinity of the University of St. Andrews, Scotland, and the project leader for Scientists in Congregations Scotland (sicscotland.org)." Andrew  is also the grand nephew of the late Scottish theologian Thomas Torrance and grandson of theologian J.B. Torrance!  Find out more about Andrew and his work!

We spend so much of our time sitting that it's important to know how to sit correctly. When I need to be active and focused such as when I'm working on the computer or something at the table. Then I sit forward in my chair with one foot closer to the chair than the other.I have my foot under the knee that's in front, and then I have my other foot drawn back under the chair. This angles the knee down. This also lets me tip my pelvis forward, lifting my tailbone, and now my spine stacks over that with a little bit of length. I can bring my shoulders back, and then I can work at my table or desk with focus for as long as I want. It doesn't matter which foot is in front of the other. Just remember to switch occasionally or whenever you get up and move around.This is just part of the information that she shares. To see the whole thing, watch and follow along on this YouTube video.

Beth Hyjek is one of the Co-founders and the COO of TeachingHorse, LLC. TeachingHorse is an international leadership development company specializing in experiential learning with horses, helping leaders and teams learn how to move through uncertainty and share leadership.  Beth shares that when she listened to the recording of our last podcast, she immediately went to a place of judgment in "her story" of what she did wrong.  She also shares that she was able to shift from a negative story to a story of empowerment when she chose to "Notice" what had her attention.   Beth's tool, The Diamond Model™, created by TeachingHorse, helped her to quickly, course-correct, spiraling down into an old and habituated story, while simultaneously offering new perspectives. The choice to shift is the difference between living an inspired life or living a life of doubt and not feeling enough. Learn about the Diamond Model™ and more of the gifts that TeachingHorse offers!

God has a plan for your life. You've probably heard me say this before. I've talked about my own life, about how getting fired from my job as an assistant professor at St. Mary's College was the best thing that ever happened to me, even though it didn't seem that way at the time. I've written a long book called Logos Rising: A History of Ultimate Reality which claims that there is a plan for all of human history. Yet sometimes I wonder if that plan is a category of reality or a category of the mind, my mind.

The older we get, the more we see how it all connects… all of it! If you want to maximize positive output, you have to learn the balanced recipe of covering all the bases, as much as you can, in all that you do. That sounds overwhelming, but it’s really about pulling back and potentially doing less if you can identify what habits, behaviors, or beliefs are actually contradicting and delaying your growth, evolution, or gains in general. For example, you can follow a high end, elite training regiment, but if you fuel like crap and don’t sleep- it’s going impact the way you show up to work out. Thus, limiting your ability to perform and then impacting the overall progression of your growth as an athlete/competitor. It’s not about training more, it’s about training smarter and looking at a “whole life” approach to living in general… not just to train better and more effectively:). How can we pull back the curtain and see what’s really going on? To be a better athlete, spouse, business owner, person? If you are into health and wellness or new to the conversation, you quickly realize that addressing one thing only leads to another and you see how everything really connects.   On this cast, I sit down with longtime friend and personal go-to for all things health, Dr. Missy Albrecht. I have known Missy for over 6 years and she has seen me through the thick of my competitive athletic journey, professional marketing/branding biz and so much more. We riminess of the good ol’ days of common connects (humans and beliefs) and the initial conversations and really helped propel both of our personal and professional missions. Missy shares her journey as a medical professional, entrepreneur, and human balancing science with energy and spirit in an evolving wellness practice field. If you are into human optimization on a very high level or looking to just wake up feeling better, this is a good listen. Little tricks and inside views are shared from a doc that has been around the block in many environments with a wealth of knowledge and experience to back the convo. Health, wellness, nutrition… it can be a lot and it’s so hard to find great voices to lead the way without a marketing agenda. Dr. Missy is your go-to. We scratch the surface on so many larger, deeper convos around overall health, but this cast is a great general intro to those bigger, more specific conversations… reach out to Dr. Missy accordingly:)   Highlights: All around health, wellness, and balance. Inner and outer health, mental, physical, and even organ movement? Harboring negative energy. Exuding positive vibes. The power of connecting. Human connection. Body and mind and organ connection. Movement is medicine, our muscles, our minds, our organs. The associate between stored energy and belief. Human and body support, it takes a village. The evolution of the environment, the career, the self. Filter your audience, maximize your impact.   Dr. Missy Albrecht, PT, DPT - Visceral Manipulation, Physical Therapy & BirthFIT Professional Dr. Missy received her doctorate in physical therapy in 2011from Mount St. Mary's College and opened Invincible in 2014.

In our continuing apocalypse series, Anne Carpenter (St. Mary's College of California) joins Jon to discuss Hans Urs von Balthasar's Theo-Drama IV: The Action and especially the opening sections on the book of Revelation. But first we talk a bit about the new challenge of teaching online in the age of COVID-19. Then Anne gives us an outline of Balthasar's life and the "trilogy" in which his central project consists. Then she explains where Theo-Drama in general and Vol. 4 specifically fit into the scheme of that project. From there, we talk about how the victory of God in Christ initiates the existential conflict at the heart of theo-dramatics. We draw on Blondel and Ricoeur to help try to unpack the character of this conflict and struggle and how it relates the fate of humanism in the 20th century. We have a Patreon!

From Kate:I was born in Denver and raised in a poor working family in Northeastern Colorado where I quit school my sophomore year. Later, after I had married and had a daughter, I earned a GED and then enrolled in the local community college. Six years later, I graduated from Morehead State University in Kentucky with a B.A. in English. By that time I had married a second time and while attending MSU, lived with my daughter and second husband in a rustic log cabin we built ourselves in Menifee County, Kentucky. In 1982, I came to Ohio University to begin a master's degree, thinking I would be here 2-3 years, but a second divorce necessitated getting a job, and I was hired as the university editor for OU's publications office. I also worked toward my Ph.D., and my daughter and I graduated the same weekend in June 1992--she with her high school diploma and I with my doctorate in American Literature with an emphasis in creative writing/poetry. Since then I've worked as a writer/editor in the President's Office at OU (way back under Robert Glidden): at St. Mary's College in South Bend IN; at the Ohio Historical Society, now known as the Ohio History Center, in Columbus; at the Ohioana Library, a small specialty library in Columbus that collects books by Ohio authors and about Ohio and Ohioans where I served as a book review editor for the Ohioana Quarterly; and at the College of Health Sciences and Professions back here in Athens. In 2007, I started a freelance writing/editing business called Textual Healing, which is still going strong, and in my free time, I still write book reviews for the Ohioana Quarterly and transcribe materials for the Library of Congress's Crowdsourcing program.My work has appeared in the Great River Review, Kenyon Review Online, Valparaiso Review, New Ohio Review, West Branch, and Cumberland River Review, among others. I have published two chapbooks: The Lazarus Method, under the name of Kate Hancock, by Kent State University Press as part of the Wick Poetry Chapbook Series, and Walking Off the Map, by Seven Kitchens Press. I earned my Ph.D. in American literature with an emphasis in creative writing/poetry from Ohio University, and I currently live in Athens, Ohio with my partner, Robert DeMott, and two English setters: Maddie & Katie.Support the show (http://www.thatswhatshesaid970wath.com)

He began his professional career as a teacher at Towson Catholic High School. He was drawn by a need to help young people, so he pursued his licensure as a National Certified Counselor and Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor. Within the Baltimore County Public Schools system, he became Department Chair, Supervisor, and then Coordinator for the Office of Guidance and Counseling Services where he provided supervision and program leadership for over 250 school counselors serving 162 schools.Rowland was a sought-after national public speaker and an expert on many topics including youth suicide prevention, crisis management, bereavement counseling, traumatic loss, conflict resolution, peer helper training, and personality disorders. He was involved in numerous teaching roles as an adjunct instructor at Johns Hopkins University, Towson State University, Goucher College, and Loyola College. Rowland was the recipient of the Governor’s Citation for Service in Support of Youth Suicide Prevention, 1996; Excellence in Teaching Award, Johns Hopkins University, 1999; Governor’s Award for Outstanding Contributions to Suicide Prevention, 2001; and the Maryland School Counselor Association’s Counseling Advocate, 2004.

Today in my chat with Allie Dattilio, we talk about studio spaces, being a mama and an artist, and Allie's journey as an accountant and painter. We also dive in to shipping and how she develops collections.   About Allie:Allie is an oil painter and mixed media artist, residing in her hometown of Hagerstown, Maryland with her husband Mark, son Ward, and their two pups, Lena and Roam. She graduated from St. Mary's College of Maryland in 2011, with a Bachelor of Arts in Art & Art History, and a minor in Mathematics. This juxtaposition of the creative and analytical has shaped her into a Type-A artist who thrives off of challenging both sides of her brain, pushing the limits of her palette and paintbrush and exploring strategy as a small business owner. Her paintings dwell in homes and collections internationally, across 5 continents. (Africa and Antarctica are next!) When she's not in her studio, she can be found blowing raspberries into her baby's scrumptious belly rolls, tending to her family's organic garden, and slowly remodeling and designing their fixer-upper. Her work is about hope - weathering the literal and metaphorical storms, and seeing the light at the horizon. Aesthetically, drawn to the contrast of dark, moody skies, against the rich glow of 24 karat gold leaf. Her landscapes live somewhere between abstract and real, a particular vagueness intended to challenge the viewer to discover the image on their own terms, applying their own histories and memories onto the piece.     Website: https://alliedattilio.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/alliedattilio/ Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/alliedattilio/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/AmaryllisTruth   To get 50% off your first year with Honeybook, go to positivelycreative.net/honeybook!   About The Positively Creative Podcast: The Positively Creative Podcast was created by Dorothy Collier, artist of Dorothy Art, for creative entrepreneurs.

In "Becoming Jewish Argentines: Sephardim, Marriage Choice, and the Construction of a Jewish Argentine Identity (1920-1960)," Adriana Brodsky explores the marriage patterns of Argentine Sephardic Jewish communities, paying special attention to when Sephardim began marrying Ashkenazic Jews, thereby giving birth to a new type of Jewish identity, neither fully Ashkenazic nor fully Sephardic, but Argentine. Although initially Sephardim usually married "within," as the 20th century progressed, and new spaces for interaction of Jews from different origins became available, choosing a marriage partner outside of the group became more common. The presentation suggests that loyalties to communities of origin were slowly superseded by a sense of belonging to the Argentine nation. Speaker Biography: Adriana M. Brodsky is a professor of history at St. Mary's College of Maryland and received her Ph.D. at Duke University.
