Podcasts about Moral responsibility

What does "Joyful Non-Compliance" look like in today's world? In this thought-provoking episode, the hosts explore how faith intersects with politics, justice, and cultural challenges. Diving into Romans 12 and 13, they discuss the biblical posture of joyful, peaceful non-compliance, emphasizing the church's role in society as a force of love, justice, and truth. From the complexities of navigating immigration issues to the tension between idolatry and injustice in government, this conversation unpacks what it means to live out cruciformity—a life shaped by the cross—in a chaotic world. Key insights include the distinction between peacekeeping and peacemaking, the theological implications of governance, and how Christians can embody a faithful, socially engaged presence amidst cultural turmoil. With practical examples and a deep dive into the text, the hosts challenge listeners to embrace a countercultural, Jesus-centered response to injustice and idolatry. Join the discussion and share your thoughts! How can we, as individuals and communities, live out this call to justice and non-compliance with humility and hope?

Today, we're taking a look at the unraveling mayhem situation in California, where Governor Gavin Newsom's failure to lead has allowed chaos to run absolutely wild. Violent riots involving illegal immigrants (most of whom are military-aged men) are breaking out across the state. These individuals are not assimilating, they are disrupting, demanding, and waving foreign flags while burning ours on American soil. As California spirals, it's no surprise that federal intervention has become necessary. President Trump has stepped in where state "leadership" would not. This really isn't about politics, it's about preserving order, protecting citizens, and upholding the rule of law. We are a people who serve a God of justice, not disorder. What's happening is not compassionate, it's destabilizing. California deserves better, and America must wake up before this becomes the norm nationwide. God forbid. Let's talk about what's really going on in California and why prayer, truth, and resolve are crucial right now.--https://www.thebrandsunday.com/products/the-bible-study-physical?srsltid=AfmBOoqJuDPZk6H7VWSxgepSo3RWAJCtIGO9wrHmULH1iMgxSzkJ791_--Order CULTure: https://www.paypal.com/ncp/payment/SLYWFXAB6479S

Dr. Jacob Barandes is a professor of Physics at Harvard University who studies the foundations of physics. He has emerged as a leading skeptic of the idea that our universe is somehow fundamentally mathematical in nature, marking a full cycle of more than two thousand years of ink spilled about the nature of the universe. Barandes has found that there is a way of modeling the basement membrane of reality as being made of bodies with location, where everything from superposition to electricity and magnetism are a product of the motions of these bodies. Our conversation spans the basic principles that Barandes has used to arrive at this conclusion, the vital role that confusion over what constitutes a “measurement” plays in producing a highly paradoxical interpretation of nature, and the fact that this debate about the nature of the universe - substance versus mathematics - has been raging for more than two thousand years, with no end in sight.

The nuclear family is the backbone of a strong society—without it, we will crumble. In this episode, we're talking about Elon Musk's latest love child with Ashley St. Clair and why Conservatives cannot fall into the trap of normalizing single motherhood and reckless men who create broken families. Strong individuals come from strong families. When the family unit collapses, people become weak, directionless, and ultimately easier for the government to exploit. The more broken the home, the more dependent the individual. And guess who loves that? The people in power who want control over your life. So, we are talking biblical gender roles, marriage, family, and why morals will always matter—even if they stop mattering to everyone else. A father's leadership and a mother's nurturing aren't interchangeable, and no amount of modern delusion will change that. Children need both a mother and a father in the home. And no, morals don't change for you once you're rich. Wh*re culture needs to die because the next generation is at stake.--https://policecoffee.com/?srsltid=AfmBOooc599VmOCGa3oE2DnVcJ4uLA69XDoBZf8ChiOpFqVfKc_BASiR

Anthony "Nippy" Ames, a former college athlete and aspiring actor, became involved with NXIVM, an organization that presented itself as a self-improvement group. Over 12 years, he advanced within NXIVM, becoming a teacher and establishing centers in New York and Vancouver. He met his wife, Sarah Edmondson, through the organization. Upon discovering NXIVM's illicit activities, Ames took decisive action to expose the group's misconduct. He played a pivotal role in dismantling NXIVM, contributing to the arrest and conviction of its leader, Keith Raniere, who received a 120-year prison sentence. Ames and Edmondson co-host the podcast "A Little Bit Culty," where they discuss their experiences and engage with fellow survivors and experts. #NXIVMCult #InsideACult #KeithRaniere #CultSurvivor #TrueCrime #MindControl #EscapingACult #JusticeServed Thank you to ROCKET MONEY for sponsoring today's episode!: Cancel your unwanted subscriptions and reach your financial goals faster with Rocket Money.

Stories are what make the world go ‘round. From selling a product, service, or podcast like this one, to dating, raising kids, and building friendships, the stories you tell yourself and others are going to either unlock doors and open opportunities…or close the doors before you even had to chance to see them there. Donald Miller is an expert storyteller and an expert and helping other people articulate and share theirs. Today, we talk about why humans are so interested in storytelling, what foundational elements make a good story, the importance of a “story loop,” to get other to buy-in to what you're sharing by making them part of the story. Whether you're a marketing professional or just want to help your son deal with his first bully at school, this podcast is for you.

Send us a textCan a higher moral law truly guide the course of human history?" Explore this profound question as we unravel the timeless journey of freedom, drawing inspiration from Theodore Parker's eloquent words. We navigate through the corridors of ancient empires like Rome and Greece, exposing the futility of attempts to stifle freedom. These grand societies, once mighty, crumbled from within due to their own injustices, serving as stark reminders of the consequences when righteousness is betrayed.Join us as we journey to the cradle of a newborn empire on the Alleghenies, a powerful metaphor for the young United States. Themes of justice, rights, and divine law are woven together, highlighting the essential duties of states to avert suffering. With a reflective lens, we urge vigilance and fidelity to conscience, calling on each citizen to honor the sacrifices of those who came before. This episode serves as both a cautionary tale and an inspiring call to action, reminding us of our shared past and moral responsibilities for the future.Support the showThe American Soul Podcasthttps://www.buzzsprout.com/1791934/subscribe

In this episode of *MidAtlantic*, host Roifield Brown, joined by panelists from both sides of the Atlantic, unpacks the political reverberations of the 2024 U.S. Presidential election and shifts in British leadership. From the Democratic Party's introspection post-Kamala Harris's defeat to the implications of Donald Trump's cabinet picks, the discussion spans populist movements, neoliberal woes, and institutional complacency.**Kamala Harris's Loss and Democratic Strategy** The panel critiques the Democratic Party's messaging failures, particularly its over-reliance on identity politics while neglecting the economic pain felt by working-class voters. Aram Fischer highlights the party's inability to address economic discontent effectively, allowing Trump's simplistic blame-game narratives to resonate more powerfully with voters. Michael Donahue underscores the challenge of combating right-wing populism in a political system dominated by neoliberal inertia and financial inequities.**Trump's Cabinet: A Show of Loyalty or Competence?** Donald Trump's controversial appointments, including vaccine skeptic RFK Jr. and loyalists like Matt Gaetz, reflect his disdain for institutional norms and his consolidation of personal power. The panel speculates on the potential for internal Republican politics to shape national policy, while noting the absence of checks on Trump's authority in this administration.**Across the Pond: Keir Starmer vs. Kemi Badenoch** In the UK, Prime Minister Keir Starmer's early tenure as a “boring but competent” leader is juxtaposed with Kemi Badenoch's shaky start as Leader of the Opposition. While Starmer's steadiness may benefit Labour in the short term, some panelists express concern over his lack of transformative vision. Meanwhile, Badenoch faces skepticism over her political depth and readiness, though some Tories remain hopeful about her potential.**The Gaza Debate and Moral Responsibility in Politics** The conversation takes an impassioned turn as the panel confronts the West's complicity in the ongoing crisis in Gaza. Criticism is levied against Keir Starmer and other Western leaders for their silence or tepid responses to what some panelists describe as ethnic cleansing. This segment underscores the broader tension between geopolitical pragmatism and moral leadership.**Quotes to Reflect On** 1. **Aram Fischer**: "Trump says, ‘I see your pain, and it's immigrants' fault.' Democrats say, ‘Things are getting better.' Guess which resonates more?” 2. **Michael Donahue**: “Neoliberalism has squeezed people for decades; what they need is left economic populism, not status quo institutionalism.” 3. **Steve O'Neill**: “Starmer's strength is in being a boring technocrat, but where's the big, juicy policy to show things are changing?” 4. **Dave Smith**: “If we can't call out ethnic cleansing in Gaza, what hope do we have of defending the rules-based international order anywhere?” 5. **Roifield Brown**: “Politics isn't just management—it's about inspiring people to believe change is possible.”**Further Reading** - [The Color of Law by Richard Rothstein](https://www.indiebound.org/book/9781631494536) - [Strongmen: Mussolini to the Present by Ruth Ben-Ghiat](https://www.indiebound.org/book/9781324001546) - [The History of the World in 47 Maps by John Elledge](https://www.indiebound.org/book/9781911393701) - [Tides of History Podcast](https://wondery.com/shows/tides-of-history/) Hosted on Acast.

What does God actually control? This week we start a new series unpacking the hard questions we wrestle with around the sovereignty of God.

  Why Indifference is Dangerous Erosion of Empathy: How global apathy desensitizes societies, leading to increased tolerance of violence and human rights abuses.  Normalization of Violence: When people ignore or downplay genocide, it sets a dangerous precedent that violence is acceptable. The continuous exposure to violence without meaningful accountability results in its normalization. When health workers are shot or bombed while trying to save lives, or journalists are targeted and killed for reporting the truth, it signals that violence has crossed boundaries without retribution. The systematic killing of babies and young children in violent conflicts is perhaps the most egregious manifestation of this normalization; it shows a blatant disregard for the sanctity of life and strips away the most fundamental human protections. In the context of Palestine, reports have documented hospitals being bombed and medical teams becoming victims while carrying out their duties. These targeted acts erode the protective norms once safeguarded by international law. The murder of journalists, whose role is to inform and foster accountability, further compounds this normalization. When society accepts that those who seek to bear witness to injustice are silenced, it removes a critical check against abuses of power. Political and Social Impact: Governments may be less inclined to intervene or provide aid if public pressure is absent. Indifference significantly influences political and social responses to genocidal acts and systemic violence. When governments and political leaders sense a lack of widespread public outcry, they are less motivated to intervene, push for ceasefires, or provide humanitarian aid. Public pressure has historically played a vital role in galvanizing political action, as seen in movements against apartheid or during genocides where swift intervention saved lives. In the absence of global attention and pressure, political entities may choose strategic silence over advocacy, especially when geopolitical interests or alliances come into play. This can embolden oppressive regimes to continue acts of violence with little fear of international repercussions. The targeting of babies, medics, and journalists starkly illustrates that when these acts are met with a muted response, the world risks legitimizing not just the violence itself but the broader framework that allows these tragedies to unfold unchecked.   The Psychology of Apathy People might choose to ignore such events, including cognitive dissonance, information fatigue, and the "bystander effect." Political bias, media framing, and the polarization of public opinion contribute to selective attention or indifference, influencing public perception and governmental response. Media portrayal, distance, and perceived powerlessness can contribute to this indifference.   The Moral Responsibility of Awareness Being informed is the first step toward empathy and action. Staying updated and informed humanizes distant conflicts and helps break down the psychological barriers that lead to apathy.   Spreading awareness through conversations, social media, and educational programs can lead to increased pressure on policymakers.   Awareness doesn't just stop at the individual level; it can influence wider circles and inspire collective action. Sharing verified information through conversations, social media, and educational platforms can amplify underrepresented voices and force policymakers to take action   Find impactful campaigns and organizations that focus on genocide awareness and prevention. Engaging with these groups or supporting them through donations and volunteer work can make a tangible difference.   Making invisible suffering visible is a powerful method to combat complacency.   Real-World Implications This apathy has practical consequences. Medical professionals working under fire lose their lives, leading to healthcare crises where people die not from their initial injuries but from the lack of medical intervention. Journalists' deaths mean fewer voices calling attention to the truth, leaving global citizens reliant on diluted or biased narratives. The lives of babies cut short disrupt the very hope and future of affected communities. The cumulative silence signals that the rules protecting civilians and those working to help them can be violated without consequences.   What Can We Do? Educate Yourself and Others: Resources for learning about ongoing and past genocides. Amplify Voices: Support and share stories of survivors and those affected. Support Organizations: Talk about reputable charities and groups that work to stop genocide and assist victims. Advocacy and Political Engagement: The importance of writing to representatives or joining campaigns that push for action. Remember: Apathy toward genocide doesn't just affect those far away—it impacts global stability, human rights, and our collective humanity.   Thank you for tuning in. xoxo  

There is a moral obligation, that every Catholic and ultimately every Christian, must use our God-given voices to put into power leaders who will uphold the truth of the 3 basic non-negotiables that will protect and preserve society. Fr. Chris Alar explains that if we do not make the better choices in this historic election, and every election, then we run the risk of our country actually ceasing to exist. ------------------------------- Please join us for the Immaculate Conception Election Novena at https://usgraceforce.com/ To order your own Armor of God candles, go to https://romancatholicgear.com/ IMMACULATE CONCEPTION ELECTION NOVENA, OCT. 27 – NOV. 4 In preparation for Election Day, we are calling all the faithful to join together in an Election Novena that seeks the maternal intercession of the Blessed Mother, under her title of the Immaculate Conception, patroness of the United States. On the nine days leading up to Election Day — beginning on Sunday, Oct. 27 and concluding on Monday, Nov. 4 — please join souls from around the nation in invoking the intercession of Mary, the Immaculate Conception, for our country. In 1791, America's first bishop, John Carroll, entrusted the country to the Blessed Mother, and in 1846 the bishops of the United States reaffirmed that dedication, declaring Mary as patroness of the United States under her title of the Immaculate Conception. -------------------------------- Subscribe to our NEW US Grace Force YouTube channel!

I will give them as much as they ask for as long as it does not oppose the adorable will of my Divine Son or the sanctification of their souls. 5. I will defend them in their spiritual battles with the infernal enemy and I will protect them at every instant of their lives. 6. I will visibly help them at the moment of their death—they will see the face of their mother. 7. I have obtained this grace from my divine Son, that those who propagate this devotion to my tears and dolors will be taken directly from this earthly life to eternal happiness, since all their sins will be forgiven and my Son and I will be their eternal consolation and joy.

Dr. Gerstenberg's research is highly interdisciplinary. It combines ideas from philosophy, linguistics, computer science, and the legal sciences to better understand higher-level cognitive phenomena such as causal inference and moral judgment.   In this episode, we talk about causal cognition. We first discuss what it is, and what it means to attribute causality. We talk about counterfactual thinking, intuitive ideas about causality, causation by omission, and how people single out “the” cause. We also talk about causal learning in continuous-time settings, and then get into how causal cognition connects to attributions of moral responsibility, and how people deal with knowledgeable versus ignorant agents, and the role that intentions play. Finally, we discuss the relationship between intuitive physics and intuitive psychology, and moral judgment. -- A HUGE THANK YOU TO MY PATRONS/SUPPORTERS: PER HELGE LARSEN, JERRY MULLER, BERNARDO SEIXAS, ADAM KESSEL, MATTHEW WHITINGBIRD, ARNAUD WOLFF, TIM HOLLOSY, HENRIK AHLENIUS, FILIP FORS CONNOLLY, DAN DEMETRIOU, ROBERT WINDHAGER, RUI INACIO, ZOOP, MARCO NEVES, COLIN HOLBROOK, PHIL KAVANAGH, SAMUEL ANDREEFF, FRANCIS FORDE, TIAGO NUNES, FERGAL CUSSEN, HAL HERZOG, NUNO MACHADO, JONATHAN LEIBRANT, JOÃO LINHARES, STANTON T, SAMUEL CORREA, ERIK HAINES, MARK SMITH, JOÃO EIRA, TOM HUMMEL, SARDUS FRANCE, DAVID SLOAN WILSON, YACILA DEZA-ARAUJO, ROMAIN ROCH, DIEGO LONDOÑO CORREA, YANICK PUNTER, CHARLOTTE BLEASE, NICOLE BARBARO, ADAM HUNT, PAWEL OSTASZEWSKI, NELLEKE BAK, GUY MADISON, GARY G HELLMANN, SAIMA AFZAL, ADRIAN JAEGGI, PAULO TOLENTINO, JOÃO BARBOSA, JULIAN PRICE, EDWARD HALL, HEDIN BRØNNER, DOUGLAS FRY, FRANCA BORTOLOTTI, GABRIEL PONS CORTÈS, URSULA LITZCKE, SCOTT, ZACHARY FISH, TIM DUFFY, SUNNY SMITH, JON WISMAN, WILLIAM BUCKNER, PAUL-GEORGE ARNAUD, LUKE GLOWACKI, GEORGIOS THEOPHANOUS, CHRIS WILLIAMSON, PETER WOLOSZYN, DAVID WILLIAMS, DIOGO COSTA, ALEX CHAU, AMAURI MARTÍNEZ, CORALIE CHEVALLIER, BANGALORE ATHEISTS, LARRY D.

In this episode of Father and Joe, Joe Rockey and Father Boniface Hicks tackle a pressing issue we all face today: navigating the hateful and divisive political climate that is so prevalent during election seasons. Joe shares his observations on how political advertising today is filled with negativity, hate, and division. He explains, “One of the responsibilities of building a successful society, of being holy, is to not spread hate. Hate being pretty much the opposite of love.”Together, Joe and Father Boniface reflect on how we can protect ourselves from falling into these traps of negativity, starting with personal responsibility. As Father Boniface highlights, “When you notice something that is irritating, frustrating, or hurtful, rather than simply condemning others for it, you're asking the question, 'Am I doing that?' That attitude is already such a remedy. If we were all doing that, we'd be much better off.”Father Boniface takes the conversation deeper by connecting it to the example of Christ, who "took responsibility for everyone, as if he were the one creating all the problems. God made him to be sin so that we might become the righteousness of God in Him." He explains how Jesus' sacrifice invites us to take ownership of the ways we contribute to division, both big and small, while still acknowledging that we are victims at times too.This episode offers valuable insights on how to break away from the toxic patterns of modern political discourse. Rather than demonizing others, we are encouraged to "try to understand the best of your opponent's argument. Rather than setting up a strawman argument, set up a strongman argument or an Ironman argument."The conversation also touches on how shallow political messages have become, with Joe explaining that most campaign ads are “intellectual cotton candy” – designed to evoke strong feelings but lacking any real substance. He advises, “I think it's more about the how than the who. Like, what are you actually going to do? How are you going to solve this question? Because at the end of the day, all I've heard is platitudes… they say you're a bad person if you don't agree with this, but there's no substance to it.”This episode serves as a much-needed reminder that, as Christians, we are called to live in love, even in the most heated and hostile environments. It challenges us to engage with politics and society in a way that reflects Christ's teachings, seeking to spread love rather than hate, and striving to understand rather than condemn.If you're feeling overwhelmed by the negativity of modern politics and are looking for ways to stay grounded in your faith, this episode is for you. Remember, we can't control everything, but we can control how we respond and how we contribute to the conversation. Let's do it with love.Tune in now to hear more valuable lessons on how we can transform today's divisive environment into one of love, understanding, and healing.#FaithInAction #LoveAndPolitics #FatherAndJoeTags:faith, politics and faith, love and responsibility, divisive politics, election season, religious podcast, Father and Joe, Father Boniface Hicks, Joe Rockey, Christian values, moral responsibility, forgiveness, Catholic podcast, faith in society, dealing with hate, avoiding political negativity, political debates, personal responsibility, spreading love, loving your enemy, political hate, political division, negativity in media, how to stay positive, protecting yourself from hate, Christ's example, spreading love not hate, the power of forgiveness, being holy, politics and love, how to spread love, political advertising, avoiding negativity, Christian teachings, love thy neighbor, healing through love

How would we explain our social structures to aliens? Can we define our social groups in a way that is easy to articulate and understand? Jason Werbeloff argues that it's extremely difficult to answer even the simplest questions about the nature of our social groups. Does this mean we should exclude any talk of groups when describing ourselves on the Golden Record?  And should we understand ourselves as individuals, rather than as members of social groups?

He works primarily at the intersection of moral philosophy, moral psychology, and metaphysics on issues surrounding free will and moral responsibility.   In this episode, we talk about moral responsibility, punishment, and forgiveness. We start by discussing whether agents can be blameworthy only for acts that are morally wrong. We talk about the role of luck in criminal attempts, and punishment in those cases. We discuss the idea of the penal lottery. We talk about forgiveness and repentance. Finally, we discuss how to determine how much punishment someone deserves, and attributions of moral responsibility to individuals and collectives. -- A HUGE THANK YOU TO MY PATRONS/SUPPORTERS: PER HELGE LARSEN, JERRY MULLER, BERNARDO SEIXAS, ADAM KESSEL, MATTHEW WHITINGBIRD, ARNAUD WOLFF, TIM HOLLOSY, HENRIK AHLENIUS, FILIP FORS CONNOLLY, DAN DEMETRIOU, ROBERT WINDHAGER, RUI INACIO, ZOOP, MARCO NEVES, COLIN HOLBROOK, PHIL KAVANAGH, SAMUEL ANDREEFF, FRANCIS FORDE, TIAGO NUNES, FERGAL CUSSEN, HAL HERZOG, NUNO MACHADO, JONATHAN LEIBRANT, JOÃO LINHARES, STANTON T, SAMUEL CORREA, ERIK HAINES, MARK SMITH, JOÃO EIRA, TOM HUMMEL, SARDUS FRANCE, DAVID SLOAN WILSON, YACILA DEZA-ARAUJO, ROMAIN ROCH, DIEGO LONDOÑO CORREA, YANICK PUNTER, CHARLOTTE BLEASE, NICOLE BARBARO, ADAM HUNT, PAWEL OSTASZEWSKI, NELLEKE BAK, GUY MADISON, GARY G HELLMANN, SAIMA AFZAL, ADRIAN JAEGGI, PAULO TOLENTINO, JOÃO BARBOSA, JULIAN PRICE, EDWARD HALL, HEDIN BRØNNER, DOUGLAS FRY, FRANCA BORTOLOTTI, GABRIEL PONS CORTÈS, URSULA LITZCKE, SCOTT, ZACHARY FISH, TIM DUFFY, SUNNY SMITH, JON WISMAN, WILLIAM BUCKNER, PAUL- GEORGE ARNAUD, LUKE GLOWACKI, GEORGIOS THEOPHANOUS, CHRIS WILLIAMSON, PETER WOLOSZYN, DAVID WILLIAMS, DIOGO COSTA, ANTON ERIKSSON, ALEX CHAU, AMAURI MARTÍNEZ, CORALIE CHEVALLIER, BANGALORE ATHEISTS, LARRY D.

SummaryIn this conversation, Chad Gross interviews Eric Hernandez about the existence of the soul. They discuss the definition of the soul, the relationship between the mind and the brain, and the arguments against physicalism. Eric presents the case for substance dualism and argues that consciousness cannot be reduced to physical properties. They also touch on the panpsychist view of consciousness and its implications. The conversation delves into the philosophy of mind and the implications for atheism and theism. In this conversation, Eric Hernandez discusses the concept of the soul and argues against physicalism and in favor of substance dualism. He presents three arguments for the existence of the soul: identity through change, indivisibility of personhood, and the argument from free will. Hernandez emphasizes that if physicalism is true, determinism is also true, which would undermine moral responsibility and intellectual integrity. He recommends J.P. Moreland's books 'The Soul: How We Know It's Real and Why It Matters' and 'Body and Soul: Human Nature and the Crisis in Ethics' as resources for further study on the philosophy of mind and the soul.TakeawaysThe soul can be defined as an immaterial substance that possesses consciousness and animates the body.Consciousness cannot be reduced to physical properties, and therefore physicalism is false.Panpsychism suggests that consciousness is fundamental to reality and can arise under the right conditions.The arguments surrounding consciousness and the soul have implications for atheism and theism.The philosophy of mind is an important area of study for understanding the nature of consciousness. The concept of the soul is central to understanding human nature and consciousness.Physicalism, the belief that everything is physical, cannot account for the existence of consciousness and free will.Arguments for the existence of the soul include identity through change, indivisibility of personhood, and the argument from free will.If physicalism is true, determinism is also true, which undermines moral responsibility and intellectual integrity.Further study on the philosophy of mind and the soul can be pursued through books by J.P. Moreland.Sound Bites"I don't have a soul, but rather I am a soul and I have a body.""If physicalism is true, consciousness can't exist.""Why not just become a Christian? That's exactly the heart of the Christian worldview.""Philosophy of mind is where it's at and where it's going to be.""I am either an immaterial soul or an immaterial substance.""I am not a purely physical object. I am a soul."Chapters00:00 Introduction and Movie Discussion02:40 Interview with Eric Hernandez: The Existence of the Soul09:30 Defining the Soul and Substance Dualism19:27 Consciousness and the Mind-Brain Relationship25:06 Objections to Dualism and the Panpsychist View31:43 Justin Schieber's View on Consciousness36:28 Moral Obligation and Implications for Atheism and Theism37:28 Understanding the Concept of the Soul39:26 Challenging Physicalism and Arguing for Substance Dualism44:32 Three Arguments for the Existence of the Soul50:02 The Implications of Determinism for Moral Responsibility and Intellectual Integrity58:01 Recommended Resources for Further Study on the Soul================================We appreciate your feedback.If you're on TWITTER, you can follow Chad @TBapologetics.You can follow Brian @TheBrianAutenAnd of course, you can follow @Apologetics315If you have a question or comment for the podcast, record it and send it our way using www.speakpipe.com/Apologetics315 or you can email us at podcast@apologetics315.com

Is Ignoring Social Issues in Your Marketing, Sales, & Communication the Best Course of Action? Think Again!How do you navigate social media responsibly during racial conflicts, politics, social issues, hot topics as a business, leader, marketer, creator, social media or community manager?Many feel that what happens in the world doesn't impact their content calendar, marketing campaign, sales outreach, message tone, or method of distribution whatsoever in regards to their audience.That is completely wrong and furthest from the truth.From George Floyd (2020) to Sonya Massey (presently navigating) to the presidential election (again) to massive layoffs to oppressed people impacted in numerous places around the world and beyond as the list goes on and on…Just staying in your bubble because maybe you don't identify, relate, acknowledge, believe, or whatever the case may be and not adjusting or acknowledging anything in any way may seem like the best course of action. But is it?The people who buy from you, work for you, watch, read, or listen to your content, attend your events, invest in you, advocate for you, and give you attention may all be impacted by such things that may not necessarily relate directly to you on an individual level, company level, and so forth.We have to acknowledge that reality.And depending on things, make adjustments accordingly. Beyond The Episode Gems:• Learn More Starting Your Own Business With Amazon's Delivery Service Program• Start Creating Exceptional Sites & Business Solutions Using Wix Studios • Use The Same Recording Platform I Use For My Podcast, Try Riverside.fm For Free• Buy Troy's Book, Strategize Up: StrategizeUpBook.com• Discover All Podcasts On The HubSpot Podcast Network#####Support The Podcast & Connect With Troy: • Rate & Review iDigress: iDigress.fm/Reviews•  Follow Troy's LinkedIn @FindTroy• Get Strategy Solutions & Services: GrowWithTroy.com•  Follow Troy's Instagram @FindTroy

What exactly is your Economic Life Value and why does it matter? In this episode, Hans Toohey and Brian Moody delve into the often overlooked concept of Economic Life Value—your potential financial contribution over the course of your working life. While your intrinsic worth as a person is immeasurable, there is a tangible monetary value to your ability to earn, which can be insured. This value, known as Human Life Value, represents a significant asset, more important than tangible assets like homes or vehicles. For instance, a 25-year-old earning $100,000 annually has the potential to generate $4 million over a 40-year career. This calculation forms the basis for potential insurance coverage, underscoring the importance of maximizing this to safeguard your family's financial future. Personal development and strategic investments in oneself can boost one's Economic Life Value. Maximizing insurance coverage is both a financial strategy and a moral obligation to those who have families dependent on them. Tune in to learn how recognizing and insuring your Economic Life Value can offer security and stability for your loved ones, and why it's crucial to ensure this asset is fully protected. Differentiating Economic and Intrinsic Value:  There's a difference between a person's intrinsic value, which cannot be measured monetarily, and their Economic Life Value, which is the potential income one can generate over their career. This Economic Life Value can be insured, representing the monetary value of one's ability to earn. Importance of Maximizing Insurance Coverage: It's crucial to maximize life insurance coverage to match one's Economic Life Value. This ensures that in the event of an untimely death, one's family remains financially secure, and can provide the monetary value of their income even if they are no longer around to earn it. Investment in Self: Invest in personal development to increase one's Economic Life Value. Investing in education, skills, and mindset can lead to higher income potential, which, in turn, can and should be protected through appropriate insurance coverage. Moral Responsibility to Family: It's not just a financial strategy but also a moral obligation to secure life insurance that reflects one's full Economic Life Value. This ensures that dependents are not left in a precarious financial situation, aligning with the broader responsibility of providing for one's family even in one's absence.

Melvyn Bragg and guests discuss the doctrine of Karma as developed initially among Hindus, Jains and Buddhists in India from the first millennium BCE. Common to each is an idea, broadly, that you reap what you sow: how you act in this world has consequences either for your later life or your future lives, depending on your view of rebirth and transmigration. From this flow different ideas including those about free will, engagement with the world or disengagement, the nature of ethics and whether intention matters, and these ideas continue to develop today.With Monima Chadha Professor of Indian Philosophy and Tutorial Fellow at Lady Margaret Hall, University of OxfordJessica Frazier Lecturer in the Study of Religion at the University of Oxford and a Fellow of the Oxford Centre for Hindu StudiesAndKaren O'Brien-Kop Lecturer in Asian Religions at Kings College LondonProducer: Simon TillotsonIn Our Time is a BBC Studios Audio ProductionReading list:J.

In this episode, Caleb is joined by Drew Sparks (PhD, The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary) pastor at Trinity Reformed Baptist Church in Terre Haute, Indiana to discuss free will in the reformed tradition and just how closely Jonathan Edwards was to his forbearers in this area of theology. Together they discuss questions like: what are the intellect and will? What is the difference between metaphysical and moral freedom? What are determinism, incompatibilism, and compatibilism? What do these things have to do with God's decree, foreknowledge, and Christ's human freedom? How close was Edwards conception of free will to the Reformed? And More.

Welcome to Day 2305 of Wisdom-Trek, and thank you for joining me. This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to Wisdom Wisdom Nuggets – Proverbs 24:8-14 Daily Wisdom Wisdom-Trek Podcast Script - Day 2305 Welcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps! I am Guthrie Chamberlain, and we are on Day 2305 of our Trek. The Purpose of Wisdom-Trek is to create a legacy of wisdom, to seek out discernment and insights, and to boldly grow where few have chosen to grow before. In today's Wisdom Nugget, I will guide you through the vast landscapes of biblical wisdom. It's a pleasure to have you with me on this journey. Today, our exploration takes us into the insightful verses of Proverbs 24:8-14 from the New Living Translation. As we delve into these verses, let's seek the timeless wisdom that can guide us in discerning the consequences of wicked schemes, valuing wisdom's benefits, and understanding the impact of our actions on the future. Reflect… Without further delay, let's dive into the wisdom of Proverbs. Verse 8: “A person who plans evil will get a reputation as a troublemaker.” This verse warns against the consequences of devising wicked schemes and highlights their impact on one's reputation. How can we discern the consequences of wicked schemes and avoid gaining a reputation as a troublemaker? Discern the Consequences of Wicked Schemes: Recognize the warning about the reputation that follows those who plan evil. Choose not to engage in wicked schemes that lead to trouble. Cultivate a discerning mindset that considers the consequences of actions and avoids activities that tarnish your reputation. Reflect… Now, let's turn our attention to verses 9-10. “The schemes of a fool are sinful; everyone detests a mocker. If you fail under pressure, your strength is too small.” These verses highlight the folly of sinful schemes, the detestable nature of mocking, and the importance of maintaining strength under pressure. How can we avoid the folly of sinful schemes, steer clear of mocking, and build strength to withstand pressure? We must Avoid the Folly of Sinful Schemes and Mocking by Recognizing the folly of engaging in sinful schemes and the detestable nature of mocking. Choose to avoid such behaviors, understanding their negative impact. Cultivate strength under pressure, acknowledging that endurance and resilience are crucial in navigating life's challenges. Reflect… Verse 11-12 continues with reflections on the importance of delivering those who are unjustly sentenced. “Rescue those who are unjustly sentenced to die; save them as they stagger to their death. Don't excuse yourself by saying, ‘Look, we didn't know.' For God understands all hearts, and he sees you. He who guards your soul knows you knew. He will repay all people as their actions deserve.” These verses emphasize the moral responsibility to intervene and save those facing unjust sentences, highlighting the accountability for knowing and not taking action. How can we fulfill the moral responsibility to rescue those facing unjust sentences and avoid excusing ourselves by claiming ignorance? We must understand and Fulfill our Moral Responsibility to Rescue the Unjustly Sentenced by Recognizing the moral responsibility to intervene and save those facing unjust sentences. Choose not to excuse yourself...
