Featuring:JAIME GREEN, The Possibility of Life: Science, Imagination, and Our Quest for Kinship in the CosmosOne of the most powerful questions humans ask about the cosmos is: Are we alone? While the science behind this inquiry is fascinating, it doesn't exist in a vacuum. It is a reflection of our values, our fears, and most importantly, our enduring sense of hope. In The Possibility of Life, acclaimed science journalist Jaime Green traces the history of our understanding, from the days of Galileo and Copernicus to our contemporary quest for exoplanets. Along the way, she interweaves insights from science fiction writers who construct worlds that in turn inspire scientists. This amazing book somehow managed to incorporate everything from expert interviews, cutting-edge astronomy research, philosophical inquiry, and pop culture touchstones ranging from A Wrinkle in Time to StarTrek to Arrival. But probably what makes this one of my favorites is a sneaky side quest you can't help but travel throughout: Not “are there aliens,” but “What does it mean to be human?” If you loved chatting with Katie Mack and Marc Hartzman, then you won't want to miss this night of wonders (and maybe little green cocktails).

Jeremiah 17 The Quest for Happiness (vv. 5-6) Deserted Distracted Dry The Quest for Truth (vv. 7-8) Refreshed Ready Restful The Core of Our Quest (vv. 9-10) The heart of the problem The problem of the heart More to Consider The heart of every problem is the problem in the heart, and the human heart is deceitful (Jacob in the Hebrew) and incurable. We often say, Well, if I know my own heart, but we dont know our own hearts. God does. He searches the heart and mind and knows exactly how to reward each person. If we want to know what our hearts are like, we must read the Word and let the Spirit teach us. The hearts of the Jewish leaders were turned away from the Lord and His truth. Consequently, they made unwise decisions and plunged the nation into ruin. Warren W. Wiersbe If the ways of blessing and cursing are so clear (vv. 58), why would anyone choose the path of sin? The cause for such action is in the heart. It is so deceitful that Jeremiah wondered who could even understand it. God answered by informing Jeremiah that He can search the heart and examine the mind. God knows those innermost thoughts and motives that an individual might hide from all others. Therefore God could justly render to each person what his deeds deserve. Charles H. Dyer Many passages of Scripture teach that God judges people by their deeds, while others indicate that He judges people by their motives. There is no inconsistency, as this verse points out, because ones heart and actions are closely connected. Other passages clearly teach that God evaluates people based on their hearts (1 Sm 16:7; 1 Kg 8:39; Lk 16:15), but actions reveal what is in peoples hearts (1 Sm 2:3; Mt 7:1516; 12:3335; 15:1819; Jms 2:18). Whether one is judged by inward motivation or outward acts makes no difference. What a person actually does reveals where his or her heart lies (Mt 21:2831). Douglas R. Groothuis

“In the United States, we wait for people to bottom out,” says New York Times bestselling author and psychologist Lisa Miller. But she reminds us “we were built for this,” describing how God designed and equipped us with an awakened brain made of three circuits that we can access: We are guided. We are loved and held. And we are never alone.  THINQ Co-Founder, Gabe Lyons, kicks off our special Science and Faith Series with Lisa, discussing the compelling science and data behind our human capacity for spirituality and how our brains literally become more resilient and robust as we engage in our faith and relationships.

Today we're sharing another fantastic session from our Restore Conference last October, this time from Lisa Miller. Lisa is a clinical psychologist and professor at Columbia University who specializes in the science of spirituality. She's also the author of the popular 2021 book The Awakened Brain: The New Science of Spirituality and Our Quest for an Inspired Life.We often think of science and spirituality as separate ways of knowing that don't really speak to each other, where science focuses on what we can see and empirically observe, while spirituality focuses on the unseen. Lisa's research bridges these worlds, building an empirical case for the reality of spirituality and its benefits across the lifespan, and showing how science can be a “witness” to spirituality. She believes we all have an innate, in-born capacity for spirituality, or “relational, transcendent awareness”. Individuals who cultivate a strong spiritual core are less likely to experience despair, addiction, and depression throughout the life course, and a spiritual core is correlated with growth and resilience after facing challenges.We really loved Lisa's session as well as her beautiful spirit. As we got to know her in person at Restore, we realized what a special person she is and felt the love she has for our community. We think you'll be able to feel that as you listen to her talk. 

I have always had a fascination with history. As a kid, watching movies or reading stories about past events is something that has always piqued my interest. Late last year, I had the opportunity to speak with Adventure Historian, Jeff Maynard, Through Jeff's writings, he brings diving history to life with titles such as Divers in Time: Australia's Untold History, Niagara's Gold, and The Frontier Below: The Past Present, and Future of Our Quest to Go Deeper Underwater. We speak about his adventures to uncover history, his thoughts on writer's block, advice for up-and-coming writers, and much more. Please enjoy.Website:https://www.jeffmaynard.net/YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/@jeffmaynardadventurehistorian

Our guest this week is the series editor for The Best American Science and Nature Writing, and author of the book The Possibility of Life: Science, Imagination, and Our Quest for Kinship in the Cosmos. She had us read an Ursula LeGuin novella about a "generation ship," a science fiction trope involving humans traversing the universe in search of a new planetary home. Did she pick this specifically to troll Mike, who is on the record as a sci fi skeptic? It's entirely possible! We talk about what drew Jaime to science writing, and why she considers herself an essayist, rather than a journalist. Also: what would be on our wish lists for a new planet? And will this LeGuin novella finally be the thing to win Mike over to the side of sci fi?

Do you believe there's something Out There? What do our ideas of aliens say about what life is, how life could look and act? And what does it say about us, about what we think life needs, wants, and should be? We're talking with Jaime Green about her new book: The Possibility of Life: Science, Imagination, and Our Quest for Kinship in the Cosmos.

Author Jaime Green discusses the questions of — not “Are We Alone?” — but “What If We're Alone?” and explores both science and culture's search for kinship in the cosmos. Science writer Jaime Green's new book is The Possibility of Life: Science, Imagination and Our Quest for Kinship in the Cosmos. Weaving in expert interviews, cutting-edge astronomy research, philosophical inquiry and pop culture touchstones ranging — from A Wrinkle in Time to Star Trek to Arrival — The Possibility of Life explores our evolving conception of the cosmos to ask an even deeper question: What does it mean to be human?

There are moments in life when we are struck speechless, so overwhelmed that we almost can't process an experience. This is awe. It's the feeling of being small in a way that also makes us feel part ofsomething larger. In this episode of Spiritually Hungry, Monica and Michael unpack the complexities of awe and why it's such an important component of our spiritual practice. “In the deepest sense, awe takes us outside of physical selves and our ego into a connection with a much greater reality.” – Michael BergFurther Readings:Awe: The New Science of Everyday Wonder and How It Can Transform Your Life by Dacher KeltnerThe Awakened Brain: The New Science of Spirituality and Our Quest for an Inspired Life by Lisa Miller

Once my intuition spoke to me through a kids Barbie book.  I literally understood how a situation in my life was going to unfold and what to put on my To Do list for the day by seeing an image of a barbie book in my brain.  Isn't that absurd!?  I know, that's why I love that story.  But seriously, YOU have the key to deciphering the messages your intuition provides.  Not only that—but science has now proven that humans are actually wired to receive intuitive and mystical knowing— and in the words of one scientist, if you're not using them, you're using only half a brain!  These stories and more all today on the Own Your Intuition Show.Show Notes: ·      Good Life Project with Lisa Miller PHD: The Surprising Science of Spirituality episode aired August, 10, 2022  ·      By Lisa Miller, “The Awakened Brain: The New Science of Spirituality and Our Quest for an Inspired Life”https://amzn.to/3cM2SQI·      Also by Lisa Miller: “The Spiritual Child.  The New Science on Parenting for Health and Lifelong Thriving.” https://amzn.to/3cM252c·      Book, “Messages from Spirit: The Extraordinary Power of Oracles Omens and Signs” by Colette Baron-Reid  https://amzn.to/3TPllMy·      Yes, tell me!  How the heck do I tell the difference between the voice of my intuition and my “fear-based” ideas?  Download the free audio here. ·      What's this Own Your Intuition program all about? 

For today, we're doing something really exciting — for the first time, you're going to be hearing from the latest addition to the Faith Matters team, Zachary Davis. We're extremely excited to be joining forces with Zach, a graduate of Harvard Divinity School, where his work focused on intellectual history and philosophy of religion. Previously, Zach has been a producer at HarvardX where he built open online courses in the humanities  — he's also a highly experienced podcaster behind shows like Ministry of Ideas and Writ Large.For this first episode with Zach as host, he brought on an incredible guest: Dr. Lisa Miller. Lisa is a Professor in the Clinical Psychology Program at Columbia University, where she founded the Spirituality Mind Body Institute, the first Ivy League graduate program in spirituality and psychology. Dr. Miller's research has been published in top-tier psychiatric journals, and she is the Editor of the Oxford Handbook of Psychology and Spirituality and the Founder of the American Psychological Association's journal, Spirituality in Clinical Practice. After finishing her undergraduate work at Yale, she received her doctorate from the University of Pennsylvania.In her conversation with Zach, Lisa shared the research she's done on spirituality from a scientific perspective, including some of the findings she wrote about in her 2021 book The Awakened Brain: The New Science of Spirituality and Our Quest for an Inspired Life. In her words, Lisa “takes the lens of science and focuses it on the impact of spirituality in human life,” with some jaw-dropping results. She talks about the truly remarkable real-world  benefits of a personal spirituality that leads to a lived relationship with the divine, and calls for a spiritual renaissance to help solve some of our society's most troubling issues

Darci is a bad-ass yogi, spreading the word of yoga to the masses with gusto and grace. She runs and facilitates yoga teacher training programs across Australia (and now online for the global community), is a personal development mentor, an entrepreneur and a mother. In an industry which can sometimes be perceived as pretentious and intimidating, Darci is the opposite, she is the most authentic yogi bear you will ever come across. She has a gift. The gift of relaying this 5,000 year old ancient tradition, to people in the 21st century, making it relevant and relatable. Her candid approach draws you in and many find themselves joyously on the path with her to self actualisation, although she is sure to remind you, you will never actually get there.Our conversation flows through an array of topics, including; what the essence of yoga is, how leaning into the practice can help navigate life's big tests, being triggered by the word ‘spirituality', how Mother Earth holds us if we let her, letting go of expectations especially during Motherhood, Darci's reckless youth taking drugs and partying and what an Ayahuasca experience in South America is like!I hope you are able to feel Darci's realness during this episode and you're compelled to dabble in the practice of yoga too, as you'll hear, it takes many forms suitable to all different types of people.Click here to access Australia Yoga Teacher Training's full library of online classes, for free for one month.SHOW NOTES:Links:Sunsmith / @sunsmith.coAustralia Yoga Teacher Training / @australiayogateachertrainingDarci Charli Dee / @darcicharlideeGold Coast Yoga CentreBooks: Dr. Lisa miller - The Awakened Brain: The New Science of Spirituality and Our Quest for an Inspired LifeT.

The science is clear: people who engage in spiritual practices live longer, happier, healthier lives. For the past few years, two researchers — Dave DeSteno, who runs the Social Emotions Lab at Northeastern, and Lisa Miller, director of the Spirituality Mind Body Institute at Columbia — have been trying to figure out why. They've found that treating religious rituals as tools we can adapt to our individual needs and values can help all of us — staunch atheists and devout believers alike — live more meaningful, successful, and connected lives. In this episode, Dave and Lisa share what they've learned, discuss the fraught relationship between science and organized religion, and offer tips for making the most of your holiday rituals.Next Big Idea Club:Download the Next Big Idea app today: http://nextbigideaclub.com/appNeed a last-minute holiday gift?

Depression and anxiety are increasing among us, and a large percentage of people get no lasting relief from standard treatment, either medication or therapy. What if the answer is in our brains? Psychologist Lisa Miller has come to believe that spirituality is the brain's natural shield against depression and anxiety, and she's got the scientific evidence to back that up. Miller is a professor of clinical psychology at Columbia University and director of the Spirituality Mind Body Institute at Columbia Teachers College. Her new book is “The Awakened Brain: The New Science of Spirituality and Our Quest for an Inspired Life.”

In Part I of our interview with Dr. Lisa Miller, PhD, we discussed her new book "The Awakened Brain: The New Science of Spirituality and Our Quest for an Inspired Life,"  and discovered how depression can be an opportunity for what we call in Positive Psychology, Post-Traumatic Growth.  Dr. Miller discussed two types of awareness, "awakened awareness" and "achievement awareness." In part I of our discussion, Dr. Miller talked about the downsides of our "achievement awareness" society. In Part 2, we discuss the empirical data available from fMRI studies on the "awakened brain." Dr. Miller leads us through two visualization exercises that help us experience our awakened brain that provides us an opportunity for spiritual growth.------------------------------------------To find out more about Dr. Lisa Miller or events connected with The Awakened Brain go to www.drlismillerphd.comFor more information, to suggest show ideas, ask questions or get support, contact hosts Kevin O'Donoghue LMHC or Niseema Dyan Diemer SEP  at: info@thepositivemindcenter.com, or call 212-757-4488. You can sign up for our weekly newsletter at www.tffpp.org.Thank you for listening,Kevin and Niseemawww.tffpp.orghttps://www.kevinlmhc.comwww.niseema.comwww.thepositivemindcenter.comPRODUCTION CREDITSOpening Music : Another Country, Pure Shadowfax, ShadowfaxBreak Music: Original Composition by Geoff BradyEnd Music : TFFPP Theme - Giullian Goiello for The Foundation for Positive PsychologyThe Positive Mind is produced with the help of:Engineering: Geoff BradyProducer: Connie Shannon Website Design and End Music: Giullian GioelloMarketing and PR: Jen Maguire, Maguire PR, jen@maguirepr.com

Does depression hold the key to spiritual awakening?Our guest, Dr. Lisa Miller, PhD, thinks that it does and she tells us why in her new book, "The Awakened Brain: The New Science of Spirituality and Our Quest for an Inspired Life." The experience of depression is marked by a loss of connection to self and others. Dr. Miller says that it is also the loss of a sense of being held by a benevolent force or presence greater than yourself.  How often have you felt that you, "had to get the job", "had to get into the university," or "pass the test"? Dr. Miller explains that these thoughts come from our "Achievement Awareness," and are most often the cause for our depressions. She shows us through fMRI scans that when telling a depressing story blood flow throughout the brain is constricted.  Conversely, when a person talks about a spiritual experience or a feeling of connection,  fMRI scans show an increase in blood flow and the brain takes on a reddish color. Dr. Miller explains that the reddish brain reflects the other kind of awareness called "Awakened Awareness." ------------------------------------------To find out more about Dr. Lisa Miller or events connected with The Awakened Brain go to www.drlismillerphd.comFor more information, to suggest show ideas, ask questions or get support, contact hosts Kevin O'Donoghue LMHC or Niseema Dyan Diemer SEP  at: info@thepositivemindcenter.com, or call 212-757-4488. You can sign up for our weekly newsletter at www.tffpp.org.Thank you for listening,Kevin and Niseemawww.tffpp.orghttps://www.kevinlmhc.comwww.niseema.comwww.thepositivemindcenter.comPRODUCTION CREDITSOpening Music : Another Country, Pure Shadowfax, ShadowfaxBreak Music: Original Composition by Geoff BradyEnd Music : TFFPP Theme - Giullian Goiello for The Foundation for Positive PsychologyThe Positive Mind is produced with the help of:Engineering: Geoff BradyProducer: Connie Shannon Website Design and End Music: Giullian GioelloMarketing and PR: Jen Maguire, Maguire PR, jen@maguirepr.com

We've been reuniting starseed soul families in Arkansas since 2012, and since then, the Starseed Quest has evolved into an intense 4 days of DNA activations as we facilitate starseeds in claiming their power. With each group, the energies climb higher to put starseeds on a fast track to complete their missions in assisting humanity through the shift into 5D. Each Quest is in alignment with powerful galactic timing. While each group is different, within each group are unmistakable patterns between the people who respond to the call at that time. It's remarkable and obviously the result of the 'unseen hands' of Pleiadeans at work, urging starseeds to gather like a galactic homing signal. Our Quest alumni keep coming back for another level up. It's wonderful for us to see their growth and development, getting stronger, clearer and more effective with each attendance. In this episode, you'll hear firsthand stories of the impact and success of our starseed gatherings. The Quest is like no other spiritual gathering, because only starseeds with galactic star markings on their charts are eligible. This ensures the highest frequency alignment, which allows the magical things to manifest, plus, the fact that we hold our Quests at a resort which sits on the largest crystal vein on earth. If you'd like more details about our Starseed Quests, write to crystals at starseedhotline dot com, and enjoy these stories from the Pleiadean Line Up Quest! We have 3 more Quests coming for 2021:  August Harmonic Convergence emphasizing Atlantis, the October Earth to Sky Balance Quest, and in November, the second Pleiadean Line Up Quest.  We've had spots open up for each of these, due to international travel restrictions, so email us if you want your name on one of those spots!  Our website is: https://www.starseedhotline.com Anastasia's Starseed News is up first!

"Our Quest for Holiness and Righteousness" presented by Jeff Henderson

A temperature rise of three or four degrees doesn’t seem like a big deal… Until you go back a few million years and start exploring what the world looked like the last time the Earth was that hot and CO2 levels were even higher than they are now. Peter Brannen is an award-winning science journalist. His work has appeared in The New York Times, WIRED and The Guardian, among many other national publications. He is also the author of The Ends of the World: Volcanic Apocalypses, Lethal Oceans, and Our Quest to Understand Earth’s Past Mass Extinctions. On this episode of Reversing Climate Change, Peter joins Ross to discuss his most recent article in The Atlantic, ‘The Terrifying Warning Lurking in the Earth’s Ancient Rock Record.’ Peter explains what the planet was like during the Pliocene (the last time CO2 reached 400 PPM), the Miocene (500 PPM) and the Eocene (600-plus PPM), describing how rising levels of carbon dioxide might transform the Earth as we know it. Listen in for Peter’s insight on what an understanding of deep time can teach us about the impact climate change has on the planet and help us appreciate the difference three degrees can make.

And that man becomes God, since God so wills.”13 Hippolytus (A.D. 170–236), bridging the second and third centuries, spoke of the unlimited potential of faithful Saints in this life: “And thou shalt be a companion of the Deity, and a co-heir with Christ. . . . For thou hast become God: . . . thou hast been deified,and begotten unto immortality.”14 Cyprian (A.D. 200–258), a well-known Christian leader of the third century, reaffirmed that men can become like Christ: “What Christ is, we Christians shall be, if we imitate Christ.”15 Origen (A.D. 185–255), also of the third century, wrote: “The true God [referring to the Father], then, is ‘The God,’ and those who are formed after Him are gods, images, as it were, of Him the prototype.”16 And in the fourth century St. Athanasius of Alexandria (A.D. 295–373) explained that “[God] was made flesh in order that we might be enabled to be made gods.”17 For several centuries this doctrinal truth survived, but eventually the Apostasy took its toll, and this doctrine in its purity and expansiveness was lost. The doctrine of man’s potential for godhood as taught by the Prophet Joseph Smith was not his invention—not his creation, not conjured up by some fertile mind. It was simply and solely a restoration of a glorious truth that had been taught in the scriptures and by many early Christian writers of the primitive Church." -Tad R.

Righto sheilas! Episode 26 is here! Or is it 27? WHO CARES, WE RECORDED A NEW EPISODE, STOP YELLING! This week’s ep, ‘Tinder Turd Tom and Our Quest for Romance’ explores national dickhead, Tom McGuirk who used dating apps to harass women when they rejected him. Sure, he was busted, but is his behaviour super unique? Hint: Nah! Also, we chat about the weight women place on romance. Is it a socialised and artificial capitalist tool or is it something we need? Guess who cares not for it? Guess who is trying her hardest NOT to care but STILL cares too much despite her proliferate shitty experiences and personal ideologies? THE SUSPENSE IS KILLING US! Love you guys! Bron and Claire. xx See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Do humans deserve to have an epoch named for us? On the one hand, we have irreparably changed the course of evolution. On the other hand, should things continue on their current trajectory, human civilization may not be around long enough to read as more than a blip on the fossil record. So, is Anthropocene the right name for the geologic period we’re in?    Peter Brannen is the award-winning science journalist and deep time aficionado behind The Ends of the World: Volcanic Apocalypses, Lethal Oceans, and Our Quest to Understand Earth’s Past Mass Extinctions. On this bonus episode of Reversing Climate Change, he comes back on the show to discuss his recently published articles in The Atlantic, ‘The Anthropocene is a Joke’ and ‘What Made Me Reconsider the Anthropocene.’ We discuss why deep time is such a foreign concept to the general public and Peter explains how the term Anthropocene has evolved to encompass all human activity.    Peter shares his initial argument against the Anthropocene being classified as an epoch, describing how our impact on the geologic record will present as a tiny line in the rocks and why it’s wildly optimistic to assume that we’ll persist far enough into geological time to merit the label. Listen in to understand why Peter’s point of view on the Anthropocene has shifted and learn how our actions may have initiated the mass extinction that introduces the next epoch.   Key Takeaways   [0:59] Why deep time is such a foreign concept to the general public Landscape of history infinitely longer than human history Hidden away in academic papers in language of geology   [1:40] Peter’s argument against the Anthropocene as an epoch Anthropocene used colloquially as ‘anything humans do’ Human layer = tiny line in rocks (event, not epoch) Optimistic to assume humans persist into geological time   [8:34] The biggest impact humans have had on the planet thus far Wave of extinctions follow humans for last 50K+ years Fossil fuels changing planet radically but indistinguishable on fossil record   [12:10] How Peter’s point of view on the Anthropocene has shifted Likely that humans have deflected course of evolution irreparably Our actions may have initiated mass extinction that will define new epoch   [16:21] How humans might earn our own epoch Could get to same level as previous mass extinctions in next century Anthropocene = blip on geological record if we don’t get house in order   [19:34] The Cambrian explosion vs. current technological innovation  Biological innovation caused explosion of animal life 543M years ago  Current tech reshaped world very quickly for better and worse New creative period if learn to live in simpatico with environment   Connect with Ross   Nori Nori on Facebook  Nori on Twitter Nori on Medium Nori on YouTube Nori on GitHub Nori Newsletter Email hello@nori.com Nori White Paper Subscribe on iTunes Carbon Removal Newsroom   Resources   Peter’s Website Peter on Twitter Peter Brannen on RCC EP087 The Ends of the World: Volcanic Apocalypses, Lethal Oceans, and Our Quest to Understand Earth’s Past Mass Extinctions by Peter Brannen ‘The Anthropocene is a Joke’ in The Atlantic ‘What Made Me Reconsider the Anthropocene’ in The Atlantic David Grinspoon on RCC EP047

Journalist and author Peter Brannen talks about his book The Ends of the World: Volcanic Apocalypses, Lethal Oceans, and Our Quest to Understand Earth’s Past Mass Extinctions .

You've likely heard about the calamity dinosaurs underwent, but author Peter Brannen says that wasn't the worst catastrophe life on earth faced since the beginning. Brannen talks about the 5 major mass extinctions through earth's history and where we sit now in relation to them all. Brannen is the author of The Ends of the World: Volcanic Apocalypses, Lethal Oceans, and Our Quest to Understand Earth's Past Mass Extinctions.

“It’s not over yet. We still have time to save the planet, but it is worrying that—especially going forward—where in the past a lot of our damage has been done by hunting, now we’re starting to pull these levers that are really responsible for the worst things that have happened in Earth history, these big injections of CO2. So, before we go too far down that road, because we know it leads [to mass extinction], we should consult the rocks and learn what they have to tell us.”   Peter Brannen is an award-winning science journalist with expertise in ocean science, deep time, astrobiology and the carbon cycle. Peter’s work has appeared in The New York Times, The Atlantic and The Washington Post, among many other media outlets, and he is the author of the acclaimed The Ends of the World: Volcanic Apocalypses, Lethal Oceans, and Our Quest to Understand Earth’s Past Mass Extinctions. Today, Peter joins Ross and Christophe to walk us through the five major mass extinctions in Earth’s history, discussing what events triggered each extinction and how plant and animal life changed each time.   Peter covers the current threat to coral reefs and shares his definition of fossil fuels, explaining how past mass extinctions generated the fossil fuels we use today. Listen in for Peter’s insight around the eerie shadow of extinction that follows human migration and find out what we can learn about managing the carbon cycle from previous extinctions to avert another ‘end of times.’   Key Takeaways   [1:46] How to think about the scale of geology and deep time  Frame one footstep as century of time Walk 20 miles/day for four years to beginning of Earth’s history   [6:25] The Ordovician mass extinction (445M years ago) Underwater animal life gets off ground, reefs take off Ice age drops sea level and causes 85% of life to go extinct   [11:18] The Late Devonian mass extinction (375M years ago) Age of fish + first life appears on land Trees as mechanism of mass extinction, initiate ice age    [14:43] The End-Permian mass extinction (252M years ago) Big reptiles, animals related to mammals and reefs in oceans 96% of life wiped out by extreme volcanic eruptions   [19:50] How the Earth recovered after the End-Permian  Took 10M years to recoup, miserable time Life looks totally different in aftermath   [20:49] The ‘Permian Jr.’ mass extinction (200M years ago) Volcanic event causes breakup of Pangea Sets reign of dinosaurs in motion   [22:27] The instantaneous nature of the asteroid extinction May have taken < 20 minutes (hot as pizza oven) Less than 50K years considered fast geologically   [27:00] The current threat to the coral reefs Devastating bleaching events + acidification Tend to get wiped out in mass extinctions  Supply 25% of Earth’s biodiversity   [31:30] Peter’s definition of fossil fuels What happens when life preserved in rocks for long time Humans undo photosynthesis by releasing CO2   [32:40] What role mass extinctions play in generating fossil fuels Natural gas fracked today victim of Late Devonian Organic matter preserved at bottom of ocean   [34:36] What characterizes the current potential extinction Modern humans show up 300K years ago Eerie shadow of extinction follows where people go Foot on accelerator now but still time to avert   [41:38] Why it doesn’t matter if humans cause the rise in CO2 Geopolitical implications of immigration once tropics uninhabitable Wet bulb temperature = no way to cool off, die of overheating   [45:20] What we can learn about changing the atmospheric concentrations of greenhouse gasses from previous mass extinctions Sequester CO2 in basalt rock, turn to limestone Same process cooled Earth 200M years ago   [47:08] Why Peter has cause to be optimistic Use information to energize vs. get depressed Area of opportunity for carbon removal industry   Connect with Ross & Christophe   Nori Nori on Facebook  Nori on Twitter Nori on Medium Nori on YouTube Nori on GitHub Nori Newsletter Email hello@nori.com Nori White Paper Subscribe on iTunes Carbon Removal Newsroom   Resources   Peter’s Website Peter on Twitter The Ends of the World: Volcanic Apocalypses, Lethal Oceans, and Our Quest to Understand Earth’s Past Mass Extinctions by Peter Brannen Techstars Sustainability Accelerator Lee Kump National Center for Atmospheric Research The Sixth Extinction: An Unnatural History by Elizabeth Kolbert Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory Dr. David Goldberg on RCC EP004 ‘We Need to Capture Carbon to Fight Climate Change’ in Nature Paris Agreement

J. R. Vassarserves as the lead pastor of Church at the Crossin Grapevine, Texas. From 2005 to 2013, he served as the founding and lead pastor of Apostles Church in New York City. He is a graduate of Dallas Seminary, is married to Ginger, has three children, and is the author of Glory Hunger: God, the Gospel and Our Quest for More. In today's episode we discuss the more important aspects of preaching. There are a myriad of things we can focus on in sermon prep and sermon delivery but we decided to drill down on the main things in this episode. What I love about Pastor J.R. is that he brings an elevated value on the Word of God in sermon perp. Pastor JR and I spend a lot of time to talking about how to faithfully preach The Word in a way where we remove distractions. Which should be the motivation underneath quality preaching. We talk about how to preach to the specific context that God has placed before us in preaching. This was a helpful episode for me personally and I can't wait to hear about how God impacted your preaching through it.

This week Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez stirred up the Republican Party when she warned that that if we don’t solve the climate crisis in 12 years, the Earth could be doomed. Peter Brannen, author of “The Ends of the World: Volcanic Apocalypses, Lethal Oceans, and Our Quest to Understand Earth's Past Mass Extinctions,” joins Nick to explain why Cortez is correct, and how the past 400 million years on Earth can explain how we might be heading towards an overheated world that we can’t cool down.

In this episode, we decide to break the ice and watch the Star Trek movie First Contact. Is global thermonuclear war a necessary prerequisite for realizing the utopian vision of Star Trek? How did a Titan II ICBM help humanity go where no man has gone before? Why did Zefram Cochrane get a statue before Lily Sloane? Tim, Gabe, and special guest Manu Saadia (author of Trekonomics: The Economics of Star Trek) answer these questions and more. You can follow Manu Saadia on Twitter @Trekonomics. We greatly enjoyed his book, Trekonomics: The Economics of Star Trek (May 2016). (Tim edit on 9/18: There was an encoding error in the original podcast file.

Did you know our world has ended five times? It has been broiled, frozen, poison-gassed, smothered, and pelted by asteroids. And in each of these catastrophic occurrences, climate change has been the culprit.You may be wondering, how do asteroids have anything to do with climate change? We will leave the details to our guest this week, but essentially there is a triggering event (asteroid, volcano, humans) that causes the oceans to become more acidic and very soon after the entire world dies. This is what happens every time...and it may be happening again.This week on the show we interview award-winning science journalist Peter Brannen about his new book, The Ends of the World: Volcanic Apocalypses, Lethal Oceans, and Our Quest to Understand Earth's Past Mass Extinctions. In his book and in this interview, Peter takes us on a tour of the 5 ways that the Earth has died, as well as what may be to come. Part road trip, part history, and part cautionary tale, The Ends of the World takes us on a tour of the ways that our planet has clawed itself back from the grave and casts our future in a completely new light.Peter Brannen is an award-winning science journalist whose work has appeared in the New York Times, The Atlantic, Wired, the Washington Post, Slate, the Boston Globe, Aeon, among other publications. A graduate of Boston College, he was a 2015 journalist-in-residence at the Duke University National Evolutionary Synthesis Center and a 2011 Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution Ocean Science Journalism Fellow.

Reach for the ideal in your relationship. ”I hope by reading this book, you might gather that relationships often fail because we forget the fundamentals of human interaction. We forget to communicate what we are feeling or thinking. We make assumptions without having evidence in front of us. We become impatient, look for something new and sometimes end up where we started. …Nothing is perfect but very good and excellent can be had with the right partner, attitude and amount of work” Epilogue, Our Quest for Happily Ever After.

The idea of a unexplainable supernatural occurrence is the reason Drew and Tyler chat with Liz Wann about her article “Stranger Things and Our Quest for the Extraordinary in the Ordinary.”

This week's episode of The Chauncey DeVega Show features Professor Laurie Essig. She is the author of several books including "American Plastic: Boob Jobs, Credit Cards, and Our Quest for Perfection. Dr. Essig is also a contributing writer for Psychology Today. In this week's installment of the podcast, Laurie does some great sharing and teaching about how neoliberalism has distorted love, marriage, and other human relationships. Chauncey and Laurie also talk about race and "white" weddings, the dangers of consumerism, and of course, their mutual interest in the "human zoos" and "freak shows" that are reality TV. During this week's episode of The Chauncey DeVega Show, Chauncey gives his thoughts on WWE's Extreme Rules pay-per-view, the new movie The Nice Guys, and explains his decision about attending a White House summit event in June. Chauncey also does some truth-telling about Republican toilet sex deviant potty politics, and of course, the now fallen and disgraced Bill Cosby.

The Context of White Supremacy welcomes Laurie Essig, Ph.D. Professor Essig researches sociology and gender studies at Middlebury College. She's wrote American Plastic: Boob Jobs, Credit Cards, and Our Quest for Perfection. Essay is also a contributing writer for Psychology Today, where a significant number of her pieces explores White Supremacy. We'll examine her recent essay on the Charleston massacre, "Dylann Roof Is White Like Me." She encourages White people to own Dylann Roof as one of their kindred, an inevitable product of white culture. Professor Essig also wrote about the torpedoed wedding plans of Roof's White sister. It seems she might have an interesting thought on Rachel Dolezal as also.

Join me in my new segment called Sacred Salons, because you asked for it!  You wanted to hear more from me about Goddess, wisdom teaching and suggested I do ritual on the radio.  Stay tuned - this is it!  Tonight our theme is Our Quest for the Many Faces of Love.

Today's guest, Dr. Fred Katz, has seen the face of evil up close and personal. He is passionately trying to teach us what we need to know to overcome the evil forces in our modern life. His just-released book, Our Quest for Effective Living, is a survivor's call to action to make our world a better place before it's too late.

Science is more than observation of what exists in nature: science is adventure of the mind. It took many creative leaps of the mind to produce science as sophisticated as modern physics and genetic biology.In his new book, Our Quest for Effective Living: How We Cope in Social Space; A Window to a New Science, Fred Katz offers creative leaps about the social space in which we humans live our lives. Katz taught sociology at various universities, including the State University of New York/Buffalo and Tel Aviv University. Recorded On: Wednesday, January 6, 2010
