Isaiah 61 (Sylvester Siu)

As I delve into the intricacies of Project 2025, it becomes clear that this initiative is not just another policy blueprint, but a comprehensive and ambitious plan to reshape the very fabric of the U.S. federal government. Conceived by over 400 scholars and policy experts from the conservative movement, Project 2025 is a manifesto that outlines a radical transformation of American governance, aligning closely with the ideological leanings of former President Donald Trump.At its core, Project 2025 aims to consolidate executive power and impose a partisan control over key government agencies. This is evident in the proposal to replace merit-based federal civil service workers with individuals loyal to the administration. Agencies such as the Department of Justice (DOJ), Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), Department of Commerce (DOC), and Federal Trade Commission (FTC) are targeted for this overhaul, suggesting a profound shift in how these institutions operate and the priorities they will serve[5].One of the most striking aspects of Project 2025 is its vision for the dismantling or abolition of certain federal agencies. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the Department of Education (ED) are among those slated for significant changes or outright elimination. This move is part of a broader strategy to streamline government, but critics argue it could lead to a loss of critical services and oversight. For instance, dismantling DHS could compromise national security and disaster response efforts, while abolishing the Department of Education could undermine federal support for public schools and higher education[5].The project also delves deeply into economic and environmental policies. It advocates for reducing environmental regulations to favor fossil fuels, a move that could have far-reaching consequences for climate change and public health. Additionally, it proposes reducing taxes on corporations and implementing a flat income tax on individuals, which could exacerbate income inequality. The plan further suggests cutting Medicare and Medicaid, critical healthcare programs for millions of Americans, and reversing many of the policies implemented by President Joe Biden[5].Healthcare is another area where Project 2025's proposals are particularly contentious. The plan recommends making the National Institutes of Health (NIH) less independent and defunding its stem cell research. This could stifle medical innovation and hinder the development of new treatments for various diseases. Moreover, the project proposes enacting laws that criminalize the sending and receiving of abortion and birth control medications, and eliminating coverage of emergency contraception, reflecting a strong alignment with the Christian right's agenda[5].Social and civil rights are also under scrutiny in Project 2025. The initiative suggests removing legal protections against anti-LGBT discrimination and ending diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs. Instead, it proposes that the DOJ should focus on prosecuting anti-white racism, a move that many see as a misguided and divisive approach to addressing racial issues. Furthermore, the project calls for criminalizing pornography, a policy that raises significant questions about free speech and personal freedoms[5].Immigration policy is another critical area where Project 2025's proposals are stark. The plan recommends the arrest, detention, and mass deportation of illegal immigrants, and even suggests deploying the U.S. Armed Forces for domestic law enforcement. This approach is not only controversial but also raises serious concerns about human rights and the rule of law[5].Despite the ambitious and often controversial nature of these proposals, Project 2025 has already begun to influence policy in significant ways. Following Trump's 2024 election victory, several architects and supporters of the project were nominated to positions in his second administration. An analysis by *Time* found that nearly two-thirds of Trump's executive actions in the early days of his second term "mirror or partially mirror" proposals from Project 2025[5].As I reflect on the scope and ambition of Project 2025, it is clear that this initiative represents a seismic shift in American governance. The project's writers and contributors, many of whom worked in Trump's first administration or his 2024 election campaign, have crafted a blueprint that is both detailed and far-reaching. While the stated goals of Project 2025 are to streamline government and align it with conservative values, expert analyses suggest that the potential impacts could be far more complex and multifaceted.Looking ahead, the implementation of Project 2025's proposals will likely be a contentious and ongoing process. As the administration continues to roll out these policies, it will be crucial to monitor their effects on various sectors of American society. The upcoming milestones will include legislative battles, judicial challenges, and public reactions that will shape the ultimate impact of this initiative.In the end, Project 2025 is not just a policy document; it is a vision for a fundamentally different America. Whether this vision aligns with the values and aspirations of the American people remains to be seen, but one thing is certain: the journey ahead will be marked by significant change and profound debate.

As I delve into the intricacies of Project 2025, a comprehensive policy vision crafted by the Heritage Foundation, I am struck by the sheer scope and ambition of this initiative. This 900-page blueprint, designed for a potential conservative administration, outlines a radical transformation of American governance, touching on every facet of federal policy from reproductive rights and immigration to media regulation and the structure of the executive branch.At its core, Project 2025 is more than just a policy guide; it is a roadmap for a fundamental shift in the balance of power within the U.S. government. One of the most striking aspects is its proposal to significantly enhance the authority of the executive branch, potentially eroding the system of checks and balances that has been a cornerstone of American democracy. For instance, the plan suggests reissuing Trump's Schedule F executive order, which would allow the president to dismiss federal employees deemed 'non-performing' or insufficiently loyal. This measure targets the vast federal workforce of approximately 3.5 million employees, most of whom are career civil servants essential for the continuity and integrity of government operations[1][2][4].The implications of such a move are far-reaching. As Dr. Ray Serrano, Director of Research and Policy at LULAC, notes, "This proposal targets the vast federal workforce... The majority, considered career civil servants, play essential roles in maintaining the continuity and integrity of government operations." This centralization of power could lead to a destabilization of various sectors across the nation, exacerbating hardships for those reliant on federal support and disrupting essential government functions[1].In the realm of reproductive rights, Project 2025's proposals are equally alarming. The plan advocates for severe restrictions on abortion, including the revocation of FDA approvals for abortion medications like mifepristone. A recent legal case in Texas, where a judge ruled in favor of revoking the FDA's approval of mifepristone, serves as a precursor to the kind of legal strategies that could be employed to limit access to abortion. Although the case was ultimately dismissed by the Supreme Court on procedural grounds, it sets a precedent for future challenges to reproductive rights[1].The initiative also addresses immigration policy with a hardline approach, proposing the transfer of custody of immigrant children from Health and Human Services (HHS) to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). This shift would prioritize enforcement over welfare, potentially expanding detention centers and worsening the safety and psychological well-being of vulnerable immigrant children. Additionally, the plan suggests repealing parts of the Trafficking Victims Protection Reauthorization Act (TVPRA), facilitating large-scale detention center use across the country[1].In the areas of media and technology, Project 2025's recommendations are no less radical. The plan calls for significant reforms to media ownership regulations, advocating for increased transparency in adversary ownership and the dismantling of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) practices within federal agencies. President Trump has already begun implementing some of these policies, signing an executive order to end all DEI programs within the federal government, citing concerns that these policies violate federal civil rights laws[2][3][4].The proposal also targets public broadcasting, with Trump calling for the rescission of NPR funding, labeling it a "liberal disinformation machine." This move aligns with Project 2025's broader goal of reducing the independence of public service media, which has historically been protected by the 1967 Public Broadcasting Act. The authors of Project 2025 argue that public broadcasting should be more accountable to the government, undermining its independence and the high-quality, diverse programming it provides[2].Another critical aspect of Project 2025 is its approach to disaster response and federal aid. The plan suggests reforming FEMA emergency spending to shift the majority of preparedness and response costs to states and localities, rather than the federal government. This recommendation is based on the argument that FEMA is "overtasked" and "overcompensates for the lack of state and local preparedness and response." Trump has already taken steps in this direction, establishing a review council to advise on FEMA's capabilities and suggesting that disaster response could be managed more effectively by states[3].As I navigate through the extensive policy agenda of Project 2025, it becomes clear that this initiative is not just a collection of policy recommendations but a cohesive vision for a fundamentally different America. Critics argue that these proposals could endanger democratic institutions, dismantle civil liberties, and concentrate presidential power in ways that are both radical and risky[2].Despite Trump's public distancing from Project 2025, many of his recent executive actions and policy initiatives align closely with the recommendations outlined in the plan. As Paul Dans, former director of Project 2025, noted, "They're home runs... They are in many cases more than we could have even dared hope for."[3]As the country moves forward, the implementation of Project 2025's policies will be a critical area of focus. The upcoming months will be pivotal in determining how many of these proposals become reality and what their impact will be on American governance. Will the incremental steps already being taken in states like Texas and the executive actions of the Trump administration pave the way for a broader transformation, or will they face significant resistance from civil rights groups, federal employees, and other stakeholders?One thing is certain: Project 2025 represents a significant threat not only to individual rights but also to the very foundation of American democracy. As we approach the next milestones in this journey, it is imperative that we remain vigilant and informed about the potential implications of these policies. The future of American governance hangs in the balance, and the choices made now will shape the country for generations to come.

As I delve into the intricacies of Project 2025, a blueprint crafted by the Heritage Foundation and backed by over 100 conservative organizations, it becomes clear that this initiative is not just a policy agenda, but a comprehensive plan to reshape the very fabric of American governance.At its core, Project 2025 aims to dismantle what its proponents call the "administrative state," a term that encompasses the operations of federal agencies and programs. This vision is laid out in a 900-page document that outlines a radical transformation of the federal government, one that would concentrate executive power and align it with conservative principles.One of the most striking aspects of Project 2025 is its proposal to eliminate or significantly alter several key federal agencies. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS), for instance, would be dismantled, and the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) would be privatized. This move is particularly alarming given the critical role these agencies play in national security, especially since their creation in response to the 9/11 terrorist attacks. As AFGE President Everett Kelley noted, "Bringing our country back to the pre-9/11 era is not only irresponsible but also puts all of us at risk."The Department of Education is another target, with plans to eliminate it and transfer oversight of education and federal funding to the states. This shift would not only reduce federal involvement in education but also curtail regulations against sex-based discrimination, gender identity, and sexual orientation in schools. The project's backers argue that education should be a private rather than a public good, a stance that could have profound implications for public schools and the millions of students they serve.The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) is also on the chopping block, with proposals to shift disaster preparedness and response costs to states and local governments. This change is justified by the argument that FEMA is "overtasked" and "overcompensates for the lack of state and local preparedness and response." However, critics argue that such a shift would leave vulnerable communities without the necessary federal support during times of crisis.The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) would also face significant cuts, with the elimination of regional labs, enforcement and compliance offices, and scientific integrity divisions. This would essentially give corporations a free hand to pollute, endangering public health and the environment. As the AFGE Public Policy Director Jacque Simon pointed out, these changes would "endanger public health by giving corporations and big businesses a greenlight to pollute the air we breathe, the water we drink, and the food we eat."Project 2025's impact on federal employees is equally daunting. The plan seeks to end collective bargaining for public-sector workers and reinstate Trump's executive orders that bust unions and direct agencies to renegotiate contracts to obtain stronger management rights. The reintroduction of Schedule F, which would reclassify career federal employees connected to federal policy, could politicize the civil service, allowing the administration to hire and fire based on political loyalty rather than merit. This could affect over 500,000 employees, stripping them of their work protections.The project's broader policy objectives are just as sweeping. It advocates for reducing taxes on corporations and capital gains, instituting a flat income tax, and cutting Medicare and Medicaid. It also proposes reversing many of President Joe Biden's policies, including those related to environmental regulations, which would favor fossil fuels over renewable energy. Research funded by taxpayer dollars would need to align with conservative principles, with climatology research receiving significantly less funding.In the realm of education, Project 2025 criticizes what it calls "woke propaganda" in public schools and proposes a significant reduction in the federal government's role in education. It suggests closing the Department of Education and elevating school choice and parental rights, with federal funds being redirected as school vouchers for private or religious schools. This approach would not only reduce federal funding for schools in low-income areas but also end programs like Head Start, which serves over 833,000 children living in poverty.The project's stance on labor rights is equally concerning. It would allow states to ban labor unions in the private sector, make it easier for corporations to fire workers engaging in collective action, and eliminate overtime protections and the federal minimum wage. The Public Service Loan Forgiveness Program, which has relieved many federal employees of their student debt burden, would also be ended.Critics of Project 2025 are vocal about its potential to undermine democratic institutions and civil liberties. Legal experts argue that it would concentrate presidential power, undermine the rule of law, and erode the separation of powers and the separation of church and state. AFGE President Everett Kelley succinctly captured the essence of these concerns: "Project 2025 will take away freedoms and rights from every American, will hurt the middle class and working families, and is a threat to our democracy."Despite Trump's attempts to distance himself from the project during his campaign, many of his policies align closely with those outlined in Project 2025. Since his return to the White House, he has already taken steps that mirror the project's recommendations, such as ending diversity, equity, and inclusion programs within the federal government and withdrawing the U.S. from the World Health Organization.As the country moves forward, the implications of Project 2025 will become increasingly clear. With its comprehensive and radical proposals, this initiative represents a significant turning point in American governance. Whether it will succeed in reshaping the federal government according to its vision remains to be seen, but one thing is certain: the stakes are high, and the future of American democracy hangs in the balance.In the coming months, as more of these policies are implemented, Americans will have to grapple with the consequences of such profound changes. The upcoming elections and the actions of the current administration will serve as critical decision points that will determine the extent to which Project 2025's vision becomes a reality. As we navigate this uncertain landscape, it is crucial to remain vigilant and informed, for the future of our governance and our rights depends on it.

As I delved into the intricacies of Project 2025, I couldn't help but feel a sense of both fascination and alarm. This sprawling, 900-page policy blueprint, crafted by the Heritage Foundation and a coalition of over 100 conservative groups, is more than just a set of recommendations; it's a comprehensive roadmap for a radical transformation of the American government.At its core, Project 2025 aims to reshape the federal government in a way that consolidates executive power, particularly in favor of a conservative agenda. The project's architects envision a government where key agencies, such as the Department of Justice, the Department of Commerce, and the Federal Trade Commission, are brought under direct presidential control, eliminating their independence[1][3][4].One of the most striking aspects of Project 2025 is its plan to replace merit-based federal civil service workers with loyalists to the president. This is achieved through a mechanism known as Schedule F, which allows for the transfer of civil service employees into a category where they lose their protections against political overreach and abuse of power. This move would grant the president and his loyalists unparalleled control over the executive branch, raising serious concerns about the erosion of democratic institutions and civil liberties[2][3][4].The project's scope is vast and far-reaching. For instance, it proposes the dismantling or abolition of several federal agencies, including the Department of Homeland Security and the Department of Education. The Department of State is also targeted, with plans to dismiss its leadership and replace them with acting roles that do not require Senate confirmation. Kiron Skinner, who wrote the State Department chapter, believes most State Department employees are too left-wing and need to be replaced by those more aligned with conservative values[1][2][4].Project 2025's policy objectives are equally ambitious. It advocates for significant tax cuts on corporations and capital gains, the implementation of a flat income tax, and reductions in Medicare and Medicaid. Environmental regulations would be rolled back to favor fossil fuels, and the National Institutes of Health would see its independence diminished, with a halt to its stem cell research funding. The project also proposes criminalizing pornography, removing legal protections against anti-LGBTQ+ discrimination, and ending diversity, equity, and inclusion programs. Instead, the Department of Justice would focus on prosecuting what the project terms "anti-white racism"[1][2][4].The plan's stance on immigration is particularly draconian, calling for the arrest, detention, and mass deportation of illegal immigrants, as well as the deployment of the military for domestic law enforcement. It also suggests enacting laws supported by the Christian right, including criminalizing the sending and receiving of abortion and birth control medications and eliminating coverage of emergency contraception[1].In the realm of media and technology, Project 2025's proposals are equally radical. It recommends defunding the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, which supports PBS and NPR, and revoking NPR stations' noncommercial status. This could force these stations to relocate on the FM dial, making way for religious programming. The project also advocates for more media consolidation, allowing local news programs to be converted into national ones. Social media companies would be required to not remove "core political viewpoints" from their platforms, and TikTok would be banned. Furthermore, the Federal Elections Commission would be prevented from countering misinformation or disinformation about election integrity[1][3].The implications of these proposals are profound. Critics argue that Project 2025 represents a blueprint for an autocratic takeover, endangering democratic institutions and civil liberties. The project's emphasis on centralizing power in the White House, based on a controversial interpretation of the unitary executive theory, raises concerns about the potential for abuse of power and the undermining of independent agencies like the FBI and the Federal Communications Commission[1][3][4].Despite Donald Trump's attempts to distance himself from Project 2025, the overlap between his policies and the project's recommendations is undeniable. Trump's recent actions, such as reviewing FEMA's role in disaster response and withdrawing from the World Health Organization, align closely with Project 2025's proposals. The project's authors and contributors, many of whom worked in Trump's last administration or on his election campaign, see their goals as closely aligned with Trump's Agenda 47 program[1][4][5].As we move forward, the potential implementation of Project 2025's policies looms large. With Trump's second term underway, the stage is set for a significant reshaping of American governance. The next few months will be crucial, as the administration begins to enact its policies and face the inevitable pushback from opponents.In the words of Kevin Roberts, president of the Heritage Foundation, "We are in the process of the second American Revolution, which will remain bloodless if the left allows it to be." This statement, made on a conservative podcast, underscores the high stakes and the deep divisions that Project 2025 embodies[4].As I reflect on Project 2025, it becomes clear that this initiative is not just a policy document but a vision for a fundamentally different America. Whether this vision will come to fruition remains to be seen, but one thing is certain: the journey ahead will be marked by intense political battles and profound implications for the future of American democracy.

Millions of children across America don't have art classes in school and don't grow up going to art museums and galleries. They might be hours away from the closest museum, or their families might not have the means to bring art into their lives. Philanthropist Alice Walton had that kind of childhood, and wants to prevent as many people as possible from repeating it. When she discovered the art world as an adult, she also learned how insular and urban it was, leaving out so many. These experiences led her to found the Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art in Bentonville, Arkansas, which opened its doors to all in 2011. Admission at Crystal Bridges is free, and Walton has also instituted educational programs that cover the costs of bringing children in from around the region. Anne Kraybill is the CEO of a related program called Art Bridges, which is attempting to spread the philosophy of art for all and help smaller museums around the country increase access to art. In this talk from the 2024 Aspen Ideas Festival, Ford Foundation president Darren Walker interviews Walton and Kraybill about these initiatives and the motivations that created them. aspenideas.org

As I delved into the intricacies of Project 2025, a comprehensive policy blueprint crafted by the Heritage Foundation, I was struck by the sheer scope and ambition of its proposals. This 900-page document, released in April 2022, outlines a radical vision for American governance, should a conservative administration take office in January 2025.At its core, Project 2025 is a call to action, designed to reshape the federal government and its agencies in line with conservative principles. The project envisions a future where the Department of Education is abolished, with its responsibilities devolved to the states. This move is part of a broader strategy to enhance school choice and parental control over education, reflecting the project's belief that education is a private rather than a public good. For instance, federal funds for low-income students, such as those under Title I of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965, would be allowed to expire, and public funds would be redirected as school vouchers for private or religious schools[1][2][3].The project's education reforms are just the tip of the iceberg. It proposes dismantling the Department of Homeland Security and significantly altering the roles of other key agencies. The Department of Justice, Federal Bureau of Investigation, Department of Commerce, Federal Communications Commission, and Federal Trade Commission would all come under tighter partisan control. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau would be abolished, and the National Labor Relations Board's role in protecting employees' rights to organize would be significantly curtailed[1][2][3].One of the most contentious aspects of Project 2025 is its stance on environmental and climate change policies. The blueprint advocates for reducing environmental regulations to favor fossil fuels, stopping the National Institutes of Health from funding research with embryonic stem cells, and rolling back climate science initiatives. Diana Furchtgott-Roth, the Heritage Foundation's energy and climate director, suggests that the EPA should support the consumption of more natural gas, despite concerns from climatologists about the potential increase in methane leaks[1][4].The project also outlines sweeping changes to healthcare and social welfare programs. Medicare and Medicaid would face significant cuts, and the government would be urged to reject abortion as a form of healthcare. Emergency contraception coverage would be eliminated, and the Comstock Act would be used to prosecute those who send and receive contraceptives and abortion pills. Additionally, work requirements would be instituted for those reliant on the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, and overtime protections for workers could be weakened[1][2].In the realm of technology and media, Project 2025 proposes several drastic measures. The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) would be brought under presidential authority, and regulations on media ownership would be relaxed. The project also calls for investigations into Big Tech companies and the FBI for alleged censorship, and it suggests revising Section 230 to limit social media's ability to moderate content and ban individuals from their platforms[3].The project's authors argue that these changes are necessary to streamline decision-making and ensure a more efficient government. They advocate for the "unitary executive theory," which would place the entire federal bureaucracy under the direct control of the president, eliminating civil service protections for thousands of government employees. This move would allow for the replacement of these employees with political appointees beholden to the executive[2][3].Critics, however, see Project 2025 as a blueprint for an autocratic takeover, aiming to destroy the system of checks and balances that underpins American democracy. "Project 2025 would give presidents almost unlimited power to implement policies that will shatter democracy's guardrails," warns a critique from the American Progress organization[5].As I navigated through the detailed policy proposals, it became clear that Project 2025 is not just a set of recommendations but a vision for a fundamentally different America. The project's emphasis on conservative principles and its rejection of what it terms "woke propaganda" in public schools and "totalitarian cult" of the "Great Awokening" reflect a deep-seated ideological shift[1][3].The implications of these proposals are far-reaching. For instance, the elimination of the Head Start program, which serves over 833,000 children living in poverty, would likely drive up childcare costs and exacerbate existing social inequalities. Similarly, the reduction in funding for free school meals and the elimination of programs under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act would have profound effects on vulnerable populations[1][2].As the 2024 presidential election approaches, Project 2025 stands as a significant milestone in the conservative movement's quest for power. While Donald Trump has publicly distanced himself from the project, many of its authors are closely connected to his administration, and the policy proposals echo those outlined in his own campaign agenda[3].Looking ahead, the implementation of Project 2025's policies would depend on the outcome of the election and the willingness of a future administration to adopt these radical changes. As the nation prepares for this potential shift, it is crucial to understand the depth and breadth of these proposals and their potential impact on American governance.In the words of Darrell West, who has analyzed the inconsistencies in the plan, "the inconsistencies are designed for fund-raising from certain industries or donors that would benefit." This insight highlights the complex interplay between policy, politics, and funding that underpins Project 2025[1].As we move closer to 2025, the fate of Project 2025 remains uncertain, but its influence on the political discourse is already palpable. Whether these proposals become the blueprint for a new era in American governance or serve as a rallying cry for opposition, one thing is clear: Project 2025 represents a pivotal moment in the ongoing debate about the future of American democracy.

In this episode we interview Austin McCoy to discuss his piece “'Disorganize the State': The Black Workers Congress's Visions of Abolition-Democracy in the 1970's", which Austin wrote for the Labor and Employment Relations Association's publication A Racial Reckoning in Industrial Relations: Storytelling as Revolution from Within.  Austin McCoy is a historian of the 20th Century United States with specializations in African American History, labor, and cultural history.  He is currently working on two books:   The Quest for Democracy: Black Power, New Left, and Progressive Politics in the Post-Industrial Midwest and a cultural and personal history of De La Soul. The conversation allows us to once again return to the current of radical anti-imperialist, anti-colonial, anti-racist labor organizing that emanated from organizations like DRUM (the Dodge Revolutionary Union Movement), the League of Revolutionary Black Workers and - the focus of McCoy's essay - the Black Workers Congress.  In this episode we talk about the BWC's radical vision, which McCoy describes as in the tradition of what W.E.B. Du Bois called “abolition democracy.” And we discuss some of the organizing history of the various individuals and organizations associated with the League of Revolutionary Black Workers as well as what happened to their vision over time.  We recorded this discussion on December 18th of 2023 so while we discuss the solidarity that these revolutionary Black organizers had with Palestinians and discuss the UAW's ceasefire call and their proposal to examine divestment, there are some notes that are important to add as we release this discussion almost a year later (a delay that is entirely my fault).  The UAW has endorsed Kamala Harris despite her role in the genocide of Palestinians and her refusal to call for an arms embargo and they did so with no concessions whatsoever on that issue. This stance by the UAW in this moment in many ways reflects the very currents of racist and imperialist union organizing that groups like the League and the BWC were organizing against. So while we can talk about the folks within the UAW who organized for those statements and resolutions within their union as operating within the traditions we discuss in this episode, it is important to note - at least in my view - that the UAW as a whole has ultimately shunned that radical legacy and replicated the historical role of the labor aristocracy in this moment as they and other major unions in the US have done over and over again.  Nonetheless, I do think that it is important to not dismiss the power or potential of labor organizing in moments like this, even if that potential remains unfulfilled. I think about the lessons that Stefano Harney and Fred Moten pull from people like General Baker when they called us to “wildcat the totality” several years ago.  I'd like to send much appreciation to Austin McCoy for this discussion.

In this episode, Steve Bezner wrestles deeply with how to faithfully follow Jesus in the 21st century American context, and shares some profound insights about the kingdom of God and how it contrasts with the dominant cultural forces in our country. We discuss the powerful cultural influences that can push us away from living out true kingdom values, as well as practical ways that churches and individual believers can embrace a more holistic, biblical vision for life in the reign of God. It's a conversation that has the potential to challenge and reshape our understanding of what it means to be a disciple of Jesus in today's culture. Steve Bezner has been the Senior Pastor of Houston Northwest Church since January 2013. His passion is to see Houston—and the world—become more like Heaven as people become more like Jesus.Steve loves to preach, teach, write, and speak about the Bible in a way that is easy to understand but also challenges people to live the life that God has designed for each of them. In Houston, Steve works to foster collaboration between local churches, serving on the board of the Houston Church Planting Network (to start new churches locally) and Houston Pastors United We Stand (to foster racial reconciliation). He also works through GlocalNet to build bridges with other faiths in the city, particularly Jews and Muslims.Steve is passionate about training other pastors. He works with World Hope Ministries International to train pastors in remote global locations, coaches planters and pastors, and teaches seminary occasionally. He is married to Joy and has two sons—Ben and Andrew. He holds his B.A. and M.A. from Hardin-Simmons University and his Ph.D. from Baylor University.Steve's Book:Your Jesus is Too AmericanSteve's Recommendations:Flood and FuryEndeavorJoin Our Patreon for Early Access and More: PatreonConnect with Joshua: jjohnson@allnations.usGo to www.shiftingculturepodcast.com to interact and donate.

Happy New Year! This is the 6th year in a row I've done a trends episode for the start of the year. Trends are like currents or waves of energy that move through our society and affect everything from business and politics and the economy to popular culture and media. As speakers, entrepreneurs, and thought leaders, these trends will impact our thought leadership, our content, and our marketing. In this episode, you'll learn 3 trends I've identified that are shaping our world: Big changes in social media platforms as the premise of social media shifts from connection to entertainment and it becomes harder to tell what's real and what's not The continued rise and more ubiquitous usage of generative AI tools like ChatGPT plus images, video, and voice The internet as a whole is changing, becoming more fragmented and siloed, with network effects accruing to people and brands who already have large followings   I also share specific action steps you can take: Develop a clear and distinct brand voice Imbue your content with soul Focus more on in-person experiences and events   As a speaker, you are well positioned to connect with your audiences in a deeper and more human way. Want to develop your speaking skills, thought leadership, and signature talk? Check out our online coaching program the Thought Leader Academy and our upcoming 3-day in-person speaking intensive.

As we mourn our dear, sweet Beth, we sit down with author and journalist D.L. Mayfield to discuss what her story means. Why does Alcott portray Beth as "a little saint" and "the angel of the house?" What message is she sending? Is it anything like the messages little girls hear in high-control evangelical Christianity?  D.L. Mayfield is an author and journalist who writes about neurodivergence and healing from high-control religion. They've written three books, including Unruly Saint: Dorothy Day's Radical Vision and its Challenge for our Times. They also write a newsletter called Healing is my Special Interest and they co-host This is the Bad Place, a re-cap podcast on The Good Place, with their partner, Krispin Mayfield. Right now, they're working on a book about evangelical parenting methods.

In a society obsessed with sex and increasingly confused about what it is to be a man or a woman, Megan Madden, an Oxford-based American author and mother, offers a radically different perspective about what fulfilled femininity might really be. Her new book, Mary, Teach Me to Be Your Daughter, is based on years of studies on marriage and the family and reading the works of such distinguished Catholic philosophers and theologians as St Edith Stein, Gertrude von le Fort, Alice von Hildebrand, St John Paul II, and St Teresa of Avila, asking herself all the time what it truly means to be a woman. She shares her thoughts with Dr Gavin Ashenden in this 57th episode of Merely Catholic, the podcast series for The Catholic Herald. You can purchase a copy of Megan's book here.

While the modern, Western Church can often times exalt marriage and children above all else while minimizing the value of singleness, the Bible's radical vision for singleness stands in stark contrast to what we typically see in our churches today. Listen in as Caleb Eissler shows us the Bible's incredible vision for singleness from the Old Testament to the New in this next installment in our Relationships series.

Dorn Cox is a regenerative farmer, technologist, and the research director for the Wolfe's Neck Center for Agriculture and the Environment in Freeport, Maine. He is the author of The Great Regeneration: Ecological Agriculture, Open-Source Technology, and a Radical Vision of Hope. Dorn believes that technology's incredible ability to distribute information at little to no cost holds immense power to change our relationship to the environment for the better. By harnessing the power of open source technology, regenerative solutions can spread at a global scale. Show host Neal and Dorn talk about his family's multi-generation farming tradition and his decade-long foray into international finance and technology. Today, Dorn sees himself in the context of the long human history of sharing knowledge and wisdom about agriculture and our connection to the land. He says that the same tools of technology that have been used to extract from and damage the environment, can be used to tell a different story and create a culture shift that embraces regeneration. For more about Cox's work, check out his new book. 

 At this week's Round Table, Erina, Kenisha, and Madeline spoke with AMAZING 16-year old DJ Yearwood who is the founder of Vote16 Missouri, a nonpartisan state-wide initiative to lower the voting age to 16. DJ believes that advocacy and grassroots work are some of the most important steps of the civic and political change process and voiced his concerns surrounding lack of youth representation in political processes, securing youth rights, and supporting youth leadership.  DJ underscored that young people don't lack the urge to participate politically— they often lack the *opportunity.* Youth are too often seen as inferior or even incompetent but he demonstrates that this should not stop us from being involved in decisions that affect our communities.. Everyone has the capacity to contribute and getting involved at any level— whether through advocacy, organizations, or even door knocking—can help address key civic issues. We need to move beyond performative activism. We should never be content with anyone ruling out an entire category of people. We need leadership at ALL levels.

Harvest Worship | Susan Kent | Did you know that Christians are often called Easter People? The power of Jesus was proved through His resurrection, so we find the promise of new life through faith in Christ. We're not perfect. In fact, we like to say we are perfectly imperfect, but we're loved by a perfect Father. If you are looking for a place to explore or grow your faith with other imperfect people, we would love to tell you more about our church.

Industrial agriculture imposes a simplified production model onto complex ecosystems––with dire consequences. In the new book, The Great Regeneration: Ecological Agriculture, Open-Source Technology, and a Radical Vision of Hope, co-authors Dorn Cox and Courtney White explore the place where complex technologies and complex ecosystems meet. With today's digital networks, sensors, and computational power, agrarians and land managers can now engage with a far larger community than ever before, and improve their productive capacity and the health of land, water, and wildlife––allowing agrarians to grow food both more ecologically and more profitably.

The Business of Meetings – Episode 144 – BounceBack Leadership with Brian Wagner We are delighted to be speaking with Brian Wagner from Radical Vision today!  Brian experienced a major setback at 43 that left him blind, apart from having a slight bit of vision in one eye. He joins us to share his unique and encouraging story and to discuss how he uses his life-changing experience to influence and motivate leaders to keep moving forward! We hope you enjoy listening to today's inspiring conversation with Brian Wagner! Bio: Embrace your own personal blindness to drive better performance. That's what Brian Wagner has done through BounceBack Leadership. He is the founder and CEO of A Radical Vision. His mission is to help people embrace their own personal blindness to achieve a greater focus and drive better performance. Brian has worked with boards and organizations to clear the path for growth. On March 4, 2011, he awakened on the couch and couldn't see. For the next six months, he was blind. Only brain surgery and multiple eye surgeries have allowed a portion of his vision to return. Since then, Brian has become the author of the semi-autobiography book Sometimes It DOES Take a Brain Surgeon. Brian is the Immediate-Past President of the National Speakers' Association, Ohio Chapter. Brian's journey Brian's journey began when he was ten years old. He had fluid on the brain and a shunt was inserted into his head to drain the fluid into his abdomen. When he was 43, a malformed blood vessel in his brain began to bleed, and the pressure on his nerves caused him to go blind. In 2011, he had brain surgery to remove one of three malformations on his brain stem. Recently, however, the remaining two malformations bled, putting pressure on the nerves that control his voice, so he now has a speech impediment that comes and goes.  What Brian does All Brian wants to do is help people along in their journeys. He has a disability, so he encourages others to recognize their disabilities, whether visible or not and helps them bounce back.   Driving Brian was able to drive a motor vehicle for ten years. He no longer does so because his eye with vision sometimes tends to close during the course of the day. Speaking Brian spoke at his high school graduation when he was seventeen and that helped him realize he wanted to be a speaker. So, he went to Toast Master meetings to practice speaking in front of crowds. He also had opportunities to speak at NSA.  Managing his life day-to-day Brian has worked at the Ohio School for the Blind for the past five years and finds it incredible to see how well blind people can cope! He sometimes finds it hard to do day-to-day things like writing emails and making phone calls, but he is motivated to do whatever he can to get by because he knows there is a good reason for his disability.    Making a better experience for people with disabilities To those with disabilities, it means everything to them when workers at hotels and function venues ask them what they can do to improve their experience!  Inspiring and influencing leaders When speaking to leaders, Brian encourages them not to discount or disregard their disabilities. He hopes to inspire them to be more confident in doing whatever their work requires and to become successful without becoming boastful or cocky.  We can all make our own past Looking at our past, reliving it, and telling others about it, helps us to engage and tell our stories in the way we want them to be heard. Helping executive leaders Brian enjoys speaking to executive leaders looking to inspire their teams. Apart from speaking to groups, he serves leaders via his book, and through retreats and workshops. He has also done a TEDx Talk. Empathy versus sympathy Brian does not want sympathy from others. Even though he does not want anyone to feel sorry for him, he appreciates it when others authentically try to put themselves in his shoes. Bouncing back Brian advises people facing challenges to embrace their setbacks, to do whatever they can to avoid being pitied and to ultimately find purpose and meaning from their setbacks.

Brian Wagner, author of Sometimes It DOES Take a Brain Surgeon. looks at life differently than most people. He has a gift for helping others identify their personal blindspots and overcome their self-limiting beliefs. His talent developed out of his childhood diagnosis of a severe genetic disorder that would eventually impair his vision but not his outlook on life. Brian and Patrick discuss the importance of embracing your blindspots through a process he calls A Radical Vision.

Pete and I talk to D.L. Mayfield, author of Unruly Saint, Dorothy Day's Radical Vision and Its Challenge for Our Times. This new biography puts a special focus on Dorothy as a mother and on the Depression-era launch of the Catholic Worker newspaper.

“Within our ruling elites, the idea that personal autonomy could be important—they obviously reject that immediately. They had no concern for the rights of the individual whatsoever.” The elite ruling class is increasingly influencing media coverage and seeking to transform the way we live, argues independent journalist Jordan Schachtel. We discuss the many illogical narratives and policies that emerged around COVID-19 these last two years and the World Economic Forum's radical vision for reorienting society. “They want to take away our rights, decide what food we eat, decide where we can travel,” he says.

D.L. Mayfield and Peter Choi talk about our month of focusing on race and justice, discussing new books by Kelly Brown Douglas and Lisa Sharon Harper as well as texts that have been around a while by authors like Willie James Jennings and Robert Allen Warrior. They discuss the recent trend of opinion pieces in the mainstream media expressing nostalgia for better versions of Christianity in the past. Topics range from supersessionism to confederate monuments to epistemological privilege––all features of white supremacy that require closer examination if we are going to work for justice.
