Many would agree there are few things better than sharing a delicious meal with the people you love, which is one reason why breaking bread together is a cornerstone of religions the world over. But so too is the opposite - going without food.  From Ramadan to Yom Kippur to Lent, fasting is an important ritual in many faiths. But why do so many religions periodically take away the very thing that nourishes our bodies and souls?  On this episode we'll talk with Khalil-Abdur Rashid about the role fasting plays in Islam, and why not eating and drinking is actually the easy part.  And we'll talk to Adam Cohen about some new research that suggests even one day of fasting could help deepen religious commitment and overall well being.Imam Dr. Khalil Abdur-Rashid is the first full-time University Muslim Chaplain at Harvard University, Instructor of Muslim Studies at Harvard Divinity School, and Public Policy Lecturer at the Harvard Kennedy School of Government.Adam Cohen is a Professor of Psychology at Arizona State University.

In this episode, Will Wright and Pastor Josh Burtram are joined by Matthew D. Taylor, a senior Protestant scholar, to discuss the recent IVF ruling in Alabama and its ties to the New Apostolic Reformation (NAR) and Christian nationalism. They explore the background of the NAR and its influence on American politics, particularly in relation to abortion. The ruling by the Alabama Supreme Court Chief Justice, Tom Parker, is examined, highlighting his use of biblical and theological arguments in his concurring opinion. The conversation sheds light on the NAR's extreme views on abortion and their belief in spiritual warfare. This conversation explores the IVF politics and disagreements among right-wing and conservative politicians. It delves into the implications of IVF politics and the preservation of embryos. The desire for radical change and the theological treatise in Tom Parker's ruling is discussed, along with the extrapolation of the ruling and the desire for societal transformation. The NAR's approach to biblical interpretation and prophecy is examined, as well as the impact of rulings on different religious communities. The conversation also explores the implications of the ruling on democracy and religious freedom, and the tectonic shift in the religious right and the threat to democracy.Learn more: Alabama justice's ties with far-right Christian movement raise concernHow the Alabama IVF Ruling Was Influenced by Christian NationalismThe Right to a Private Life Is Under AttackGuest Bio:Matthew D.

In the realm of popular culture, representations of ancient Greeks and Romans abound in the West and Western adjacent societies. Classics, primarily focused on the study of Greeks and Romans, serve as Western history's foundational narrative. However, this narrative tends to create a timeline that excludes Muslim contributions and unintentionally supports the colonial-racial agenda of the West. In this intriguing episode of Radio ReOrient, Dr Marchella Ward from the Open University and Abdoolkarim Vakil from King's College, London, engage in a discussion that explores the notable similarities and differences between two academic domains: Critical Ancient World Studies and Critical Muslim Studies. This episode serves as an anticipatory introduction to the forthcoming publication titled "The Case for Forgetting Classics," edited by Mathura Umachandran and Dr Marchella Ward. Within this volume, numerous scholars come together with a shared commitment to decolonize the study of ancient Greeks and Romans. Recorded during the Bradford Literature Festival, this conversation provides a platform for reflecting on how the discourse of ancient Greco-Romans has shaped Western perceptions of history, epistemology, and identity, underwriting the exclusion of Muslimness.

QUOTES FOR REFLECTION“The Holy Spirit is the bond by which Christ efficaciously unites us to himself.”~John Calvin “O Holy Spirit, descend plentifully into my heart. Enlighten the dark corners of this neglected dwelling and scatter there your cheerful beams.”~St. Augustine “So, then, the world had not eternal life, because it had not received the Spirit; for where the Spirit is, there is eternal life; for the Spirit Himself it is Who effects eternal life.”~Ambrose, German theologian (374-397) “The story of Christian reformation, revival, and renaissance underscores that the darkest hour is often just before the dawn, so we should always be people of hope and prayer, not gloom and defeatism. God the Holy Spirit can turn the situation around in five minutes.”~Os Guiness “Secular humanism does not recognize the spirit world. It leads to a kind of blindness to what is actually going on in the spiritual world. Consequently, it leads to powerless Christianity.”~Dr. Don McCurry, founder of the Zwemer Institute of Muslim Studies “Some 62% of self-identified born-again Christians contend that the Holy Spirit is not a real, living being but is merely a symbol of God's power, presence or purity.”~Results from a 2017 Barna pollSERMON PASSAGEJohn 14:15-27; Galatians 4:1-7 (NIV)John 14 15 “If you love me, keep my commands. 16 And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another advocate to help you and be with you forever— 17 the Spirit of truth. The world cannot accept him, because it neither sees him nor knows him. But you know him, for he lives with you and will be in you. 18 I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you. 19 Before long, the world will not see me anymore, but you will see me. Because I live, you also will live. 20 On that day you will realize that I am in my Father, and you are in me, and I am in you. 21 Whoever has my commands and keeps them is the one who loves me. The one who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I too will love them and show myself to them.” 22 Then Judas (not Judas Iscariot) said, “But, Lord, why do you intend to show yourself to us and not to the world?” 23 Jesus replied, “Anyone who loves me will obey my teaching. My Father will love them, and we will come to them and make our home with them. 24 Anyone who does not love me will not obey my teaching. These words you hear are not my own; they belong to the Father who sent me. 25 “All this I have spoken while still with you. 26 But the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you. 27 Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid. Galatians 4 1 What I am saying is that as long as an heir is underage, he is no different from a slave, although he owns the whole estate. 2 The heir is subject to guardians and trustees until the time set by his father. 3 So also, when we were underage, we were in slavery under the elemental spiritual forces of the world. 4 But when the set time had fully come, God sent his Son, born of a woman, born under the law, 5 to redeem those under the law, that we might receive adoption to sonship. 6 Because you are his sons, God sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, the Spirit who calls out, “Abba, Father.” 7 So you are no longer a slave, but God's child; and since you are his child, God has made you also an heir.

There seems to be some sort of mental health crisis, especially among younger people, in the United States – with many experts blaming social media. Teen suicide is in the news, depression seems to be an ever-growing menace. Then COVID hit last year, which has exacerbated the problem. Mental health has a special place as seen through the lens of religion – the sicknesses one can't see, the depression, the darkness, all things “of the soul” are things religion naturally addresses. At the Museum, we believe it will be instructive for all of us to better understand how religion has seen and addressed mental health throughout U.S. history so that  we are better equipped to address the mental health challenges of our present moment.

In this episode, host Dr. Adnan Husain and Dr. Jasmin Zine, of Wilfrid Laurier University, discuss Canadian Islamophobia, in reflection and commemoration of the January 29th, 2017 Quebec Mosque shooting, where a gunman killed 6 Muslim men as they prayed, and injured 19. Dr. Zine unpacks the aftermath and reaction to the tragedy, or lack thereof; Canada simultaneously faces virulent anti-Muslim hate and a brand of exceptionalism that promotes apathy and even denial towards the very existence of islamophobia in the country. With the fourth anniversary of the massacre around the corner, Dr. Zine and Dr. Husain consider how the country has dealt or failed to deal with the massacre and islamophobia since, and what role Muslims play in the Canadian political and cultural spheres. Dr. Jasmin Zine is a professor of Sociology and Muslim Studies, specializing in Islamophobia, Islamic feminism, religious identity, and the politics of surveillance.

Season 1 - Episode 6 - Does Prayer Change Things? Introduction to Episode: During this episode, we study prayer and the concept of what and who prayer changes. We explore the question, can we change the will or mind of God? As we explain the answer, another question pops up, why pray? Humans are often never satisfied with the answers to our prayers and we can be extremely vocal about the answer. Throughout our conversation, we are given three reasons on why we should pray and what prayer does to us as a people. Rev. Shane Folks give us his meaning to the word 'prayer' stating it is a two way connection. Because we are a child of the Father, we can go directly to him in prayer. We learn that our prayer does not bother God yet he turns his ear to us and listens. Co-host: Pastor Shane Folks grew up in Sallisaw, Oklahoma where he attended (HS) and Immanuel Baptist Church. Pastor Folks attended and graduated from the University of Oklahoma and shortly after answered God's calling on his life. Pastor Folks moved to Louisiana where he attended the New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary where he obtained his Masters of Divinity. Pastor Folks served several churches in Thibodaux and the surrounding areas. It turns out that what God had in store for Pastor Shane was a wonderful wife, Hannah. They were married in August of 2016 and have three "fur babies" -- Gus, Louise, and Calvin. Pastor Folks is not the pastor or Eastside Baptist Church in Sallisaw, Oklahoma. Fun Fact: Pastor Folks also has a masters in Muslim Studies from Columbia Int'l University and is currently seeking his PhD. Podcast Episode Summary: As we give our commentary on the question, does prayer change things? We often ask ourselves, why pray? Throughout the discussion we learn three reasons on why we should pray. Pastor Folks also leaves us with the answer of what prayer does to us? We were commanded to pray Praying change us Prayer is the means God uses to bring about His Will. Notable Quotes: Prayer can change our understanding, mind and our heart along with our spiritual fortitude." - Shane Folks "Pray always, never stop praying, God hears your prayer, even when you think He closed His ear to you." - Brandon Queen Recommended Links: http://eastsidesallisaw.org/ Find Our Podcast on These Platforms: Google Spotify Stitcher PocketCasts --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/elderqueen/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/elderqueen/support
