If you find yourself torn between rationality and spirituality, science and mysticism, facts and belief; The Lectern's inaugural 8-week course will offer you a new lens through which to reflect on these dilemmas. Click here to enroll: https://lectern.teachable.com/p/einstein-and-spinoza-s-god1 “What does it really mean to be authentic, and can this virtue be meaningfully understood and measured across psychology and philosophy?” John Vervaeke, Gregg Henriques and Matthew Schaublin embark on a discussion covering the concept of authenticity. The discussion explores authenticity as one of the premier virtues of modernity, comparing it with autonomy, and tracing its roots through romanticism and existentialism, notably discussing Heidgegger and Kierkegaard. Greg introduces psychological perspectives and client-centered therapy influenced by Carl Rogers, while Matthew shares insights from his empirical research on dispositional authenticity carried out at the University of Chattanooga. The trio also touch on the tensions between self-identification and participation, self-alienation, cognitive fluency, and the societal quest for authenticity, proposing a nuanced and dynamic understanding of the true self. Gregg R. Henriques is an American psychologist. He is a professor for the Combined-Integrated Doctoral Program at James Madison University in Harrisonburg, Virginia, US. Matthew Schaublin is a master's candidate in psychology at the University of Chattanooga, with a four-year research focus on authenticity. His work blends empirical psychology with philosophical and classical inquiry, investigating how dispositional authenticity is expressed and experienced. —- Notes:  0:00 Introduction to the Lectern 0:45 Exploring the Concept of Authenticity 3:30 Greg's Perspective on Authenticity 5:00 Matthew's Research on Dispositional Authenticity 9:00 Theoretical Foundations of Authenticity 12:30 Philosophical and Clinical Perspectives 24:30 Relational and Psychological Dimensions 36:30 The Evolution of Self-Definition in Modernity 38:00 The Greek Roots of Authenticity 39:30 Modeling Authenticity and Personality 43:15 Rationalization and Authenticity 44:45 Tensions in Authenticity: Identification vs. Participation 49:00 The SAFE Model of Authenticity 55:00 Empirical Studies on Authenticity and Agency 1:06:30 Key Takeaways and Future Directions —-- Connect with a community dedicated to self-discovery and purpose, and gain deeper insights by joining our Patreon. https://www.patreon.com/johnvervaeke   The Vervaeke Foundation is committed to advancing the scientific pursuit of wisdom and creating a significant impact on the world.

In this episode, William Egginton invites you to ask the question, “What if you’re wrong?” as he explains how being uncertain makes us more human. William explores the surprising overlap between a physicist, a philosopher, and a poet—each of whom came to the same unsettling truth: that we mistake our model of reality for reality itself. But this isn’t just about subatomic particles or dusty old philosophy books. It’s about how certainty—especially in our relationships—can blind us. What if embracing uncertainty is actually the doorway to wisdom, compassion, and a more connected life? Key Takeaways: Exploration of the intersections between philosophy, literature, and quantum physics. Discussion of the nature of reality and the limitations of human knowledge. Examination of biases and their impact on perception and understanding. Importance of interpretation in both science and philosophy. Relational understanding of identity and its formation through interactions. Analysis of free will versus determinism and its philosophical implications. Concept of “degrees of freedom” in understanding human agency. Implications of quantum mechanics on our understanding of reality.

In this episode of Regulated & Relational, Julie Beem and Ginger Healy discuss the concept of self-compassion, drawing insights from Dr. Kristin Neff's work. Dr. Neff, a researcher in the field, defines self-compassion as treating yourself with the same kindness you'd offer a close friend. She breaks it into three elements: mindfulness (being aware of struggles), connection (understanding we're not alone in challenges), and kindness to self (responding with warmth instead of self-criticism).Julie shares her own struggles with self-compassion and how it can be difficult to confront pain, often either ignoring it or fighting it. Self-compassion, according to Dr. Neff, allows people to pause, acknowledge the difficulty, and respond with care.Dr. Neff emphasizes that self-compassion isn't just a feel-good idea; it literally rewires the brain by activating the parasympathetic nervous system and increasing emotional regulation. It improves mental and physical health, supports decision-making, reduces stress, and enhances resilience.Julie and Ginger also provide five practical ways to incorporate more self-compassion into daily life, including mindfulness, self-care, journaling, connection with loved ones, and positive self-talk.Supporting ResourcesDr. Kristin Neffhttps://self-compassion.org/Dr. Neff's bookshttps://www.amazon.com/s?k=dr+kristen+neff&crid=218H6KXMNYTJ&sprefix=dr+kristin+neff%2Caps%2C145&ref=nb_sb_noss_1

Welcome to the Reveal Campus Podcast.Today we're diving into a tough but necessary question: Where is God in our relational messes?Relationships—whether with family, friends, coworkers, or even within the church—can be complicated. Misunderstandings, betrayals, conflicts, and heartbreaks happen. But in the middle of the chaos, does God care? And more importantly, where is He when things fall apart?When relationships get messy, it's easy to feel alone. But the Bible reminds us that God is not distant—He's right there with us. Psalm 34:18 says, “The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.”God isn't absent in our pain; He's walking through it with us.

The past fifty years have amassed a good deal of evidence in support of attachment theory. Unfortunately, this has led to the overapplication of these ideas in the popular imagination, including the notions that attachment style is permanent or must be accommodated in relationship. In point of fact, attachment can change. Understanding how it changes is the key to overcoming relational insecurity.

Many of us will face desperate situations. Terminal Illness. A wayward brother. A lay off. Enormous debt. Relational conflict. Loneliness. Mental illness. We feel like everything we do fails to make things better. What should we do when we find ourselves in a desperate situation?

Pastor Dru Rodriguez explains that true followership of Jesus is measured by the depth and authenticity of a personal relationship rather than merely accumulating facts or performing deeds in His name. His words challenge believers to examine whether their lives reflect genuine intimacy with Christ instead of a checklist of religious activities.

In this thought-provoking episode, Glenn Bleakney explores the church's post-pandemic reality, examining why traditional attendance metrics have declined while the need for meaningful connection has increased. The conversation centers on a powerful biblical framework: the five-fold ministry gifts outlined in Ephesians 4—apostle, prophet, evangelist, shepherd, and teacher.Bleakney makes a compelling case that these gifts, perfectly embodied by Jesus himself, aren't merely historical roles but essential functions for today's church. When properly understood and integrated, they equip believers, cultivate authentic unity, and enable effective kingdom impact in an increasingly disconnected world.The discussion challenges prevailing corporate, department-based church models, advocating instead for a return to relational, family-oriented structures where all five gifts operate in harmony. Particularly relevant for reaching relationship-oriented generations like Gen Z, this biblical approach emphasizes the importance of mutual honor, submission, and collaboration among diverse ministry expressions.Join us for an inspiring exploration of how embracing the fullness of Christ through these complementary gifts can revitalize the church's mission and restore its transformative influence in our complex cultural moment.Subscribe to the leader's community at https://kingdomreformation.org

The prior approval process for LCMS leaders lacks transparency and is creating distrust and division when qualified candidates are removed without explanation. Family dysfunction in the church is exacerbated when decisions are made without clarity.Pat Ferry, Bill Cario, and Tim Ahlman discuss the topic at length:• Two distinct processes exist for presidents versus theology faculty appointments• Presidential approval requires sign-off from two of three key leaders: LCMS President, District President, and CUS board chair• Theology faculty approvals follow a different, increasingly unclear process• Concordia Wisconsin's presidential search illustrates the challenges when preferred candidates are rejected without explanation• Leaders advocate for transparency while maintaining appropriate church oversight• Relational trust is broken when decisions are made without discussing rationales• Worship practices and associations may impact eligibility without explicit guidelines• The process has evolved over decades with decreasing clarity in recent yearsWe need to continue working together for greater transparency. If we're going to break down walls between us, even little ones, we have to work at it together.Support the showJoin the Lead Time Newsletter!

How do we lovingly tend to ourselves when we feel unappreciated, disrespected, and invalidated for who we are at our core?How do re-source ourselves and re-member who we are?Feeling unloved is a universal experience. We know every human has experienced it, and yet it can be so challenging to move through. As we approach this year's Venus Cazimi, in the middle of the Venus Retrograde, I shared my personal story growing up with bullying, what got me through, and what I learned about loving myself when I didn't receive the love I wanted from my surroundings.Special thanks to my mentor Ariana Felix who has been helping me remember the rigorous Practice of Love.

Through practical frameworks, she reveals how making specific requests and mastering repair techniques can dramatically improve relationship satisfaction.• Most people complain about relationship problems rather than making clear requests• Every complaint contains a hidden request that can be uncovered• Effective requests follow three steps: rocking the boat, being specific, and showing appreciation• Requests should be specific, behavioral, and time-bound• Asking "Is there anything I can do to help you come through for me?" increases success rate• Sexual requests can follow the same framework while respecting boundaries and choice• Repair is a one-way street—only one person's concerns should be addressed at a time• The repair process should be limited to eight sentences maximum• Always begin repair by "remembering love" and your purpose for the conversation• Describe what happened objectively, share your interpretation, express feelings, and make a requestIf you're looking to improve your marriage, reach out to Monica at moni@monicatanner.com to set up a time to chat.

What medicine does hard astrology carry for us?How do we deepen our relationship with self, others, and the world through being with challenges?The hardship of life is often mirrored by astrology.One of the questions I consistently get as an astrologer is: "I'm going through something hard. Do you see that in my chart? What should I do to get out of it?"Usually, the answer is: yes, I see it in the chart.But whether the issue gets resolved through engaging astrology is a much trickier question. Sometimes, having astrological context inspires creative problem-solving. Other times, it leads into seemingly endless spirals of confusions, what-ifs, and so-whats – which can amplify feelings of powerlessness.In this episode, I shared my take on how to be with hard astrology.If you're feeling overwhelmed by the intense astrology of March 2025 – this one's for you.
