Love to hear from you; “Send us a Text Message”What happens when we drop a 19th-century saint into our smartphone-saturated world? Kevin Wells, author of Coached by the Cure, Lessons in Shepherding with St. John Vianney joins Jack to explore this provocative question—and the answers might shake your perception of modern spirituality.Wells begins with a startling comparison: the smartphones we casually place in our children's hands are functioning as "miniature Ouija boards," disconnecting them from authentic spiritual experience. "I don't care about the Ouija board, that's 1970s," Wells argues. "I care about the Ouija board—that millions upon millions of kids' carry in their pockets." The conversation draws fascinating parallels between our current spiritual climate and post-Revolutionary France, where St. John Vianney arrived to find a spiritually dead farming community...and practical lessons for today!! This episode offers both the challenge and the pathway forward. Share your thoughts and experiences with us, and consider how you might implement these timeless principles in your own family and community.Get your Copy HERE! Contact Jack: info@jp2renew.orgFollow us and watch on X: John Paul II Renewal @JP2RenewalSubscribe to our Newly Resurrected YouTube Channel!On Rumble: JohnPaulIIRCIf you're interested in being a sponsor of the Become Who You Are Podcast, please email us at Info@JP2Renew.org Jack's Latest Blog: Marriage as a Sacrament: The Primordial Sign of Love!Support the show

Empathy without boundaries leads to burnout. Intelligence without compassion leads to disconnection.    Somewhere in between is Compassionate Intelligence—and it's the leadership power most organizations are starving for.    In this episode of The Modern Culture, Cari and Leah unpack what it really means to lead with both wisdom and warmth, presence and precision. This principle is not about rescuing others or softening your standards. It's about learning to hold space, stay grounded, and lead from your values—without losing yourself in the process.    In this episode, we explore:  What Compassionate Intelligence is—and why it's not just “being nice”  Why most leaders over-correct: choosing cold strategy or emotional overload  The neuroscience of co-regulation and how it impacts your leadership presence  How to recognize when compassion becomes self-abandonment  A real-world case study of how this principle transformed a fractured culture  Three micro-practices to lead with clarity, presence, and grounded care  How Compassionate Intelligence impacts performance, retention, and trust    If you've ever struggled with being “too much” or “not enough”—this principle is your reset.  It's not about fixing others. It's about showing up as the kind of leader who can hold space without losing themselves in it.    Integration Challenge:  This week, practice staying present with someone else's discomfort—without rushing to solve it.  Just witness it. Stay grounded. And notice what shifts in you when you stop managing and start leading.   Watch: https://youtu.be/O8s0cblpgQM 

In a world addicted to certainty, the most radical thing a leader can do is get curious.    In this episode of The Modern Culture, Cari and Leah explore Courageous Curiosity—the principle that unlocks innovation, trust, and self-mastery. But this isn't about asking more questions. It's about asking better ones—the kind that disrupt old narratives, challenge outdated systems, and spark real transformation.    This principle isn't just about how you lead others.  It's about how honest you're willing to be with yourself.    In this episode, we explore: Why most leaders unknowingly abandon curiosity in favor of controlThe difference between surface-level questions and transformational inquiryThe neuroscience of curiosity and how it rewires your leadership approachWhat happens when you choose exploration over egoA powerful case study of a leader who changed everything by staying openThree micro-practices to rewire your reflex toward controlHow Courageous Curiosity creates safety, innovation, and depth in your culture   This episode is a permission slip and a challenge.  You don't need more answers—you need better questions.  And you need the courage to ask them.    Integration Challenge:  For the next 7 days, ask one uncomfortable question a day.  Start with yourself. Then extend it to your team, your relationships, your strategy.  Let curiosity do what certainty can't.    Watch: https://youtu.be/VcDWZMfnfYk 

Conscious Awareness isn't a buzzword. It's the foundation of next-level leadership—and the first line of defense against burnout, misalignment, and the performative masks too many leaders are still wearing. In this episode of The Modern Culture, Cari and Leah expose what really happens when you lead on autopilot—and how to reclaim your influence by thinking, choosing, and acting with clear, embodied intention. Through real stories and raw truths, they reveal how awareness becomes your most powerful asset as a modern leader. When you start paying attention, everything changes.   Watch: https://youtu.be/JneJP6MLy9E    In this episode, we cover: What Conscious Awareness actually is—and how it's often misunderstood The neuroscience behind decision fatigue and autopilot behavior Why defaulting to old patterns is costing you presence, connection, and performance A real-world story of transformation—and what happens when leaders stay unaware Three daily micro-practices to sharpen your awareness in under 10 minutes The ripple effect this principle has on your relationships, your team, and your legacy This is not surface-level mindset work. This is about calling your attention back to yourself—so you can lead from the inside out, not the outside in. Integration Challenge: For the next 7 days, pause before every key decision and ask yourself: Is this reaction or intention? Then lead accordingly. The Modern Culture isn't here to tweak the old system. We're here to rebuild it—starting with you.

What if your purpose wasn't a single moment… but a series of them? What if it wasn't something you missed—but something you've been living all along? In this premiere episode of The Modern Culture, Cari Kenzie and Leah Roling open the conversation around purpose, leadership, and what it really means to build a culture that reflects who we are—not just what we do. Together, they share the stories and moments that shaped their own leadership journeys and unpack how purpose compounds over time, experience by experience. More than just personal reflection, this episode sets the tone for the mission of The Modern Culture—a movement built on the compounding interest of all its parts: every story, every stakeholder, every member who chooses to lead differently. You'll hear: Why the traditional “find your why” narrative doesn't serve modern leaders How purpose evolves through reflection, healing, and courage The turning point when leadership shifts from fear to love An invitation to bring your team—and yourself—into a new kind of leadership culture This isn't a highlight reel. It's real leadership, lived and shared. Welcome to the compounding interest of purpose. Welcome to The Modern Culture.  Watch here: https://youtu.be/rB67p_wAf5c

Wir tauchen tief ein in das Geschichtsbild von Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, dem lang erwarteten Nachfolger des realistisch inszenierten Mittelalter-RPGs. Wie authentisch wird das 15. Jahrhundert hier dargestellt? Wo liegen die Grenzen historischer Genauigkeit in einem Videospiel? Und wie beeinflusst unsere heutige Wahrnehmung das virtuelle Mittelalter? Um diese Fragen zu beantworten, haben wir den Historiker Andreas Moitzi (aka Copeylius) eingeladen, der sich intensiv mit der Darstellung des Mittelalters in Videospielen beschäftigt. Gemeinsam analysieren wir, welche historischen Quellen als Grundlage dienten, wo das Spiel künstlerische Freiheiten nutzt und wie sich Geschichtsbilder durch Medien wie Videospiele formen. Eine spannende Episode für alle, die sich für Geschichte, Gaming und die Schnittstelle beider Welten interessieren!Erwähnte Podcast-Folgen:Das Grundgesetzt des Mittelalters.

In a theatre in Buenos Aires, six veterans from opposite sides of the Falklands War united to re-enact their experiences of the conflict in front of hundreds of people. The play was called Minefield, and it was an ambitious experiment by the Argentinian theatre director, Lola Arias.Former Royal Marine Dr David Jackson was one of the veterans who flew across the world to act out his memories of war alongside men he'd fought against over three decades earlier. There were hundreds of people watching, including mothers who had lost their sons in the conflict.The play took a risk - it was opening up a part of history that people still didn't agree on. But in the process, it ended up forging connections between groups that had once been divided.Matthew Syed explores the power and potential of re-enactment, and asks what happens when we try to bring the past back to life.With veteran, counsellor, and academic Dr David Jackson; director and writer Lola Arias; researcher, educator and humanitarian aid worker Dr Nena Močnik; and Professor of Modern Culture and Media at Brown University, Rebecca Schneider.Presenter: Matthew Syed Producer: Caroline Thornham Editors: Georgia Moodie and Hannah Marshall Sound Design and Mix: Daniel Kempson Theme music by Ioana Selaru A Novel production for BBC Radio 4

Pre-order a copy of Beth Allison Barr's book, Becoming the Pastor's Wife: https://amzn.to/3WSOM3vBeth Allison Barr is the U.S.A. Today's bestselling author of The Making of Biblical Womanhood: How the Subjugation of Women Became Gospel Truth. An academic by training and a pastor's wife by calling, Beth uses her unique voice to speak out on the relevance of medieval history to our modern world—especially concerning women in both medieval and modern Christianity. Her work is described as “smart,” “powerful,” and “a game changer” for women in modern evangelicalism. Barr is currently the James Vardaman Professor of History at Baylor University, where she teaches both undergraduate and graduate courses, but she also speaks and writes as a public intellectual. She has been featured by NPR and The New Yorker, and her bylines include Religion News Service, The Washington Post, Christianity Today, The Dallas Morning News, Sojourners, and Baptist News Global. She also continues to write regularly on The Anxious Bench, a popular religious history blog on Patheos.As a pastor's wife for twenty-five years, Beth Allison Barr has lived with assumptions about what she should do and who she should be.In Becoming the Pastor's Wife, Barr draws on that experience and her academic expertise to trace the history of the role of the pastor's wife, showing how it both helped and hurt women in conservative Protestant traditions. While they gained an important leadership role, it came at a deep cost: losing independent church leadership opportunities that existed throughout most of church history and strengthening a gender hierarchy that prioritized male careers.Barr examines the connection between the decline of female ordination and the rise of the role of pastor's wife in the evangelical church, tracing its patterns in the larger history (ancient, medieval, Reformation, and modern) of Christian women's leadership. By expertly blending historical and personal narrative, she equips pastors' wives to better advocate for themselves while helping the church understand the origins of the role as well as the historical reality of ordained women.✖️✖️✖️Support the Show: Patreon.com/PreacherBoys✖️✖️✖️If you or someone you know has experienced abuse, visit courage365.org/need-help✖️✖️✖️CONNECT WITH THE SHOW:preacherboyspodcast.comhttps://www.youtube.com/@PreacherBoyshttps://www.facebook.com/preacherboysdoc/https://twitter.com/preacherboysdochttps://www.instagram.com/preacherboyspodhttps://www.tiktok.com/@preacherboyspodTo connect with a community that shares the Preacher Boys Podcast's mission to expose abuse in the IFB, join the OFFICIAL Preacher Boys Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1403898676438188/✖️✖️✖️The content presented in this video is for informational and educational purposes only.

The Psychology of the 5 Types of Non-Player Characters - How to Fix Them and Be a Main Character Thinker. The same story plays out online every day. The same people are getting outraged about the same things again and again. Like Clockwork. The human brain is highly optimised to rely on heuristics and simplistic decisions. Modern media hijacks this system to control our beliefs and emotions based on the agenda of other people. This episode helps listeners build autonomy over their beliefs and emotions by learning the different types of Non-Player-Character: The Conformist NPC - Believes the consensus politically correct ideas The Contrarian NPC - Believes the opposite of the consensus and seeks conspiracy The Disciple NPC - Believes their preferred leader The Tribalist NPC - Follows the tribe and us vs them mentality The Averager NPC - Seeks the middle ground without understanding the merits of an argument. Learn the psychology of the processes behind each NPC type and how different types of critical thinking systems or defence systems get turned on and off based simply on who delivers the message. Building your own worldview is one of the most important things you can do in an increasingly confusing and polarised world.

If you're ready for a breath of zesty fresh air, don't miss today's fast-paced episode of The Narrative with Seth Gruber–founder of The White Rose Resistance, CCV Communications Director Mike Andrews, and Church Ambassador Network Executive Director Chris Lightfoot. Listen in to discover why pastors must still preach against the biblical issues of Gnosticism, child sacrifice, and sex cults because of the theological ties to modern cultural issues like abortion, homosexuality, and transgenderism. Seth also breaks down how LGBT activists are fundamentally religious, not unbiased advocates of bodily autonomy. You'll also get to hear CCV President Aaron Baer and Mike do a fast-five take on the latest updates on election inference in Ohio ballot issues, the rollback of common-sense regulation on abortion pills, Attorney General Dave Yost fighting for school transportation for Columbus students, the Libs of TikTok Kaleidoscope expose, and former President Trump coming out against the Florida abortion amendment.

From the opening of the Olympic Ceremonies to the Internet to the mindset of Modern Culture...mockery seems to be in fashion and has a seat at the table of mainstream society.Mockery has been around throughout human history, but in recent times it seems to have become increasingly common to mock personalities, authority figures, morality—and even God, the Bible, and faith in general. We have all likely witnessed actors, talk show hosts, celebrities, comedians, educators, students, politicians, and many others openly mock anyone who professes belief in God, Jesus Christ, or any part of the Bible. Yet, all the while proclaiming how tolerant they are and how intolerant Christianity is.In this episode of Keep It 100, we have a conversation about the modern trend of people mocking Christianity, why the Olympic fiasco was bigger than a performance, and how to respond when facing a mocking spirit.Website: www.seanandchristasmith.comFacebook: @seanandchristasmithministriesInstagram: @revseansmith @mrschristasmithTwitter: @revseansmithYouTube: @seanandchristasmithministries

Many of us remember the first portable music device we owned: a transistor radio, a boombox, a Walkman or perhaps an iPod. We might even recall the songs we played on it. But we might be less aware of how profoundly audio technology developments from the 1950s to 2000s changed the ways in which we consume music and other audio outside of the home or concert venue. Transistor radios allowed outdoor sounds and noises to mix and compete with those coming over the airwaves, creating new auditory experiences; the cassette player gave the listener a cheap way of making and re-making their own playlists; and the advent of digital music players encouraged us to ‘own' music recordings without possessing a physical copy of the audio. Iszi Lawrence discusses the history of portable music with Dr. Annie Jamieson, Curator of Sound Technologies at Bradford's National Science and Media Museum; American drummer and writer Damon Krukowski; Dr. Jahnavi Phalkey, science historian and Founding Director of Science Gallery Bengaluru, India; Karin Bijsterveld, Professor of Science, Technology and Modern Culture at Maastricht University; and World Service listeners.(Photo: Andrii Iemelyanenko/ Getty Images)

“Before there was a West, there was Christendom.” Fr. John Strickland has written a monumental four-part history of Christendom—from the first millennium of Christendom which he deems “the age of paradise” to our current cultural condition which he labels “the age of nihilism.” telling the story of how both came to be.On this episode Fr. John Strickland joins Hank to discuss his book The Age of Utopia: Christendom from the Renaissance to the Russian Revolution, which covers the period between the Italian Renaissance of the fourteenth century and the Russian Revolution of the twentieth, when secular humanism displaced Christianity to become the source of modern culture. The result was some of the most illustrious music, science, philosophy, and literature ever produced. But the cultural reorientation from paradise to utopia―from an experience of the kingdom of heaven to one bound exclusively by this world―all but eradicated the traditional culture of the West, leaving it at the beginning of the twentieth century without roots in anything transcendent.Topics discussed include: Petrarch, the father of humanism, and how the rise of pessimism in Christianity led to the rise of secular humanism (3:30); how anthropological pessimism shaped and influenced Western culture and civilization (15:00); how the wars of Western Christianity—such as the Crusades—helped advance secular humanism (21:00); the radical separation of heaven and earth in Calvin's sacramental and liturgical theology (26:35); the rise of science as a replacement for religion and a rationalistic explanation for everything (35:00); distinguishing between science and scientism (41:05); Voltaire and the impact of the Thirty Years' War (44:05); the cult of reason that has replaced God and altered the historical narrative of the world (49:10); the role of the Encyclopedia on the growth of secular humanism (53:30); the unique nature of the French Revolution (58:30); the rise of Romanticism as a response to the loss of transcendence in the world (1:03:00); the dangerous ideals of the Darwinian revolution (1:12:15); the rise of scientism (1:22:00); how liberal Protestantism is shaped by secular humanism (1:26:05); Marx, Marxism and the idea of inevitability whereby violence becomes the engine of progress (1:29:40); how World War I exposed the myth of progress (1:41:00); the secular path to utopia ultimately leads to dystopia (1:49:30); the age of nihilism—an age in which virtually anything is possible (1:56:00).For more information on receiving The Age of Paradise, The Age of Division, The Age of Utopia, and the Age of Nihilism individually, as a package of two or three or the full 4 Volume set for your partnering gift please click here. https://www.equip.org/product/cri-resource-the-age-of-paradise-the-age-of-division-the-age-of-utopia-the-age-of-nihilism-4-volumes-on-ages-of-christendom-hup/​Listen to Hank's podcast and follow Hank off the grid where he is joined by some of the brightest minds discussing topics you care about.
