Podcasts about Religio

Depois de umas semanas de pausa, o 'Temos de Falar' voltou à antena da SIC Mulher, contando com a presença de João Moleira como convidado. O jornalista e pivô da SIC foi desafiado a falar sobre a sua ligação à religião e à fé, numa altura em que o Vaticano se aproxima da sua escolha de um novo Papa, depois da morte de Francisco. Estará mesmo a ligação das várias gerações à Igreja Católica ameaçada, e de que forma o legado do último Santo Padre pôde inverter tal tendência? Uma conversa para ouvir aqui.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this presentation delivered at the "Metaphysics and the Matter with Things: Thinking with Iain McGilchrist" conference—a collaborative event by the Center for Process Studies (CPS) and the California Institute of Integral Studies (CIIS) in March 2024—John Vervaeke explores the concept of "mattering" and its critical role in understanding the meaning of life. He contrasts "meaning in life" with the broader "meaning of life," emphasizing the importance of connectedness and belonging over mere purpose. Vervaeke draws on research to introduce "religio," a deep sense of connectedness that underpins our existence, and critiques materialism for overlooking the relational aspects of human life. Through cognitive science, biology, and philosophy, Vervaeke demonstrates how our intelligence and problem-solving abilities are deeply intertwined with our capacity to find what truly matters.   —   Metaphysics and the Matter with Things: Thinking with Iain McGilchrist was a collaborative conference put on by the Center for Process Studies (CPS) and the California Institute of Integral Studies (CIIS) in March of 2024. This three-day conference brought leading process thinkers across various disciplines, including physics, neuroscience, psychology, philosophy, and theology, into critical dialogue with McGilchrist's work in a collegial effort to assess, question, extend, and apply it.

Marcu 12.13-17 13. Apoi au trimis la Isus pe unii din farisei şi din irodieni, ca să-L prindă cu vorba.14. Aceştia au venit şi I-au zis: „Învăţătorule, ştim că spui adevărul şi nu-Ţi pasă de nimeni; căci nu cauţi la faţa oamenilor şi înveţi pe oameni calea lui Dumnezeu în adevăr. Se cade să plătim […]

A moment in France's olympic opening ceremony was deemed blasphemous and mocking of Jesus and the Christian religion. The outcry was so loud and vast that the Olympic officials had to give press conferences about it, and eventually removed the clip from view online. The fervor has finally died down. Now we need Pastor Andrew to weigh in on this most potent form of "Religio-insanity." He says, "we are being shackled back into slavery under the pretension of “blasphemy.” That itself is blasphemous…using God to promote your inferior motives—political, religious—using religion not to liberate, but to control and to enslave. Jesus would be horrified.

Imagine um mundo paralelo onde no lugar da bíblia nós encontramos a Ética de Espinosa, e os padres terminam a missa rezando um pai nosso espinosista. Estranho? Sem dúvida, mas esta foi a nossa proposta neste programa: a Igreja de Espinosa. A provocação serviu para mostrar como é absurdo misturar religião com filosofia, e como a teologia faz isso o tempo todo sem que a gente perceba. A partir disso, conversamos sobre a atualidade do Tratado Teológico-Político, e a importância de continuar com o “espinosa nosso de cada dia”. ParticipantesRafael LauroRafael TrindadeLinksTexto lidoLive no YouTubeOutros LinksFicha TécnicaCapa: Felipe FrancoEdição: Pedro JanczurMailing: Adriana VasconcellosAss.

Tanto quanto a filosofia, a religião se propõe a dar respostas para perguntas como: Por que estamos aqui? Qual é a melhor maneira de viver? Para onde vamos depois de morrer? A diferença é que o religioso constata o sagrado, e pensa a Conveniência entre nós e o mundo a partir dele. Mais que especulativa, a religião é prática, e propõe ritos para ordenar a sociedade. O problema é que o sagrado às vezes deixa de ser conveniente e transforma-se em obediência. Quando isso acontece, a religião torna-se perigosa, e começa a trabalhar para outros interesses que não aqueles que a originaram. No podcast desta sexta, tentamos definir o que é a religião e vimos que “é muito pastor pra pouca revelação”.ParticipantesRafael LauroRafael TrindadeLinksCurso sobre MontaigneTexto lidoLive no YouTubeOutros LinksFicha TécnicaCapa: Felipe FrancoEdição: Pedro JanczurMailing: Adriana VasconcellosAss.

Gospel Culture: Translating our Faith for all of LifeThe Foundational Question:What is the relationship of God's Word – revelation to our real life in the world?What is religion? Religio & Religare – to tie/bindColossians 1:15-23“He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. For everything was created by Him, inheaven and on earth, the visible and the invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities – allthings have been created through Him and for Him.”“He is before all things, and by Him all things hold together. He is also the head of the body, the church; He isthe beginning, the firstborn from the dead, so that He might come to have first place in everything.”“For God was pleased to have all His fullness dwell in Him, and through Him to reconcile everything to Himselfby making peace through the blood of His cross – whether things on earth or things in heaven.”“Once you were alienated and hostile in your minds because of your evil actions. But now He has reconciledyou by His physical body through His death, to present you holy, faultless, and blameless before Him.”“if indeed you remain grounded and steadfast in the faith and are not shifted away from the hope of thegospel that you heard. This gospel has been proclaimed in all creation under heaven, and I, Paul, have becomea servant of it.”February 25, 2024 // Rev. Dr. Joseph Boot“The man who thinks without the proper first principles goes mad…” – G. K. Chesterton“Justice is understood t be something strictly human, having nothing to do with obedience to any divinecommand or conformity to any pattern ‘laid up in heaven.' Moral principles, like all other social conventions, aresomething' made on earth.'” – George Grant“Human freedom requires that the principles of justice be the product of human agreement or consent, that is,they must be the result of a contract…and these principles must therefore be rooted in an understanding ofthe interests of human beings as individuals rather than in any sense of duty or obligation to anything abovehumanity” – George Grant“The terms of the contract may well change as circumstances and interests change. But the restraints freeindividuals accept must always be ‘horizontal' in character rather than ‘vertical.'” – George GrantThe Crisis of CultureModern man is conferring on himself the contractual right to:• Redefine his gender irrespective of creational chromosomes• Murder (abortion)• Polygamy, homosexuality, bestiality or any sexual predilection• Suicide• Euthanize children and the elderly or sick• Homosexual ‘marriage'• Prostitution and pornography• Suppress worship of the living God and the free speech of Christians• Blasphemy and worship idolsThe Crisis of CultureWestern moral principles are shifting like sand and the metamorphosis of the church's relationship with thesurrounding culture is happening before our eyes.The Meaning of CultureThe English words culture and agriculture are derived from a Latin root (colere) and are related to cult (Latin,cultus) meaning worship. Worship, care and cultivation are all related in the etymology of culture.The Meaning of CultureCulture is best understood as religion externalized. The public manifestation of the religious ground-motive (i.e.worship) of a people.“The religious ground-motive of a culture can never be ascertained from the ideas and the personal faith of theindividual. It is truly a communal motive that governs the individual even when one is not consciously aware ofit or acknowledges it.” – Herman DooyeweerdThe Meaning of Culture – Islamic CultureIn the West, we increasingly experience a humanistic, secular culture, deeply influenced by pagan spirituality,which at the same time displays the cultural vestiges of Christianity.The Direction of Culture“Genesis 1:26 teaches us that God had a purpose in creating man in His image: namely that man should havedominion…. If now we comprehend the force of this subduing (dominion) under the term of culture…we cansay that culture in its broadest sense is the purpose for which God created man after his image.” – HermanBavinckRomans 1:25“They exchanged the truth of God for a lie and worshiped and served something created instead of theCreator.”The Direction of CultureThere is no such thing as a neutral culture; no institution and no cultural activity can ever be religiously neutral.The Direction of CultureThe structure of something concerns God's creational laws/norms and ordained pattern that pertain to it. Thedirection of these spheres concerns the religious orientation that they have.The Transformation of CultureImplicit in the Christian gospel is a particular vision of culture. The gospel is a culture because it is centered inthe worship of the living God, through Jesus Christ.The Transformation of Culture“If culture is the public expression of the worship of a people and the gospel restores man to true worship (i.e.of creator not creature), then the gospel restores man to true culture which is the kingdom of God.” – Dr. JoeBootThe Transformation of CultureSince the Enlightenment, Christians have steadily surrendered the various organs of culture.The Transformation of CultureSecular humanism has pursued the marginalization of the gospel and Christian church and a change of religionin the public sphere (i.e. multiculturalism).The Transformation of CultureGreat concern for transformation is found everywhere in Scripture.Psalm 2: 1-3“Why do the nations rebel and the peoples plot in vain?The kings of the earth take their stand, and the rulers conspire together against the LORD and His AnointedOne:‘Let us tear off their chains and free ourselves from their restraints.'”Psalm 2: 4-6“The One enthroned in heaven laughs; the Lord ridicules them.Then He speaks to them in His anger and terrifies them in His wrath:‘I have consecrated My King on Zion, My holy mountain.'”Psalm 2: 7-9“I will declare the LORD's decree: He said to Me, ‘You are My Son; today I have become Your Father.Ask of Me, and I will make the nations Your inheritance and the ends of the earth Your possession.You will break them with a rod of iron; You will shatter them like pottery.'”Psalm 2: 10-11“So now, kings, be wise; receive instruction, you judges of the earth.Serve the LORD with reverential awe and rejoice with trembling.”Psalm 2: 12“Pay homage to the Son or He will be angry and you will perish in your rebellion, for His anger may ignite at anymoment. All those who take refuge in Him are happy.”The Transformation of CultureChrist's Lordship and kingship is total, absolute, objective reality irrespective of the desires and will of men.The Transformation of CultureAll things are being made subject to Christ, in heaven and earth and we are commanded to pray for hiskingdom and will to be done on earth, as in heaven.“It is only by believing in God that ...

The Israeli election of November, 2022 brought into the Knesset some of the most extreme individuals in that country's history.  To bring himself back into office,  Netanyahu brought them into his cabinet.  (Smotrich and Bin Gvir get the most attention, but there are others).   These were people who had been brought up in the shadow  of Rabbi Meir Kahane.  Kahane had been banned from office and Netanyahu's new allies had also seen their party banned.  But they had reconstituted themselves into a new configuration and evaded the ban.  With the horrendous attacks of October 7 and the brutal Gaza war that followed,   suddenly the thinking of those religio-nationalists has moved closer to the center of the political system.  (Note:  1200 Israelis and Israeli-linked workers were  killed on October 7.   22,000 Palestinians are dead as of early January, 2024,  70% being women and children). This is a reposting of an earlier podcast outlining the ideology of Rabbi Kahane.  Kahane was born in Brooklyn but moved to Israel and was elected to the Knesset.  He was later assassinated.  At the time, his views were considered shockingly extreme.  He was widely renounced by American Jews and by Israelis.   (Note that someone of his thinking had conducted the Ibrahimi Mosque Massacre in Hebron in February, 1994.  29 Muslims had been killed on the first day of Ramadan, plus ten more sot by Israeli soldiers in the aftermath).  And someone of this mind-set also assassinated Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin).  I heard Kahane speak twice in the Detroit area in the early 1980s.  I also read two of his books, Time to Go Home [a call for Americans Jews to escape to Israel before the American holocaust] and They Must Go!  [ A call to expel all Palestinians so that Israel can become a Jews-only state].  Those books were chilling  I also read quite a few essays by him, and one biography.    As far as I can tell, those who today embrace his name and his ideas are not fundamentally different from what I heard in the 1980s.   Kahane believed that anything is justified to bring the new age and to save the Jews.  I thought of the accusations by radical Iraqi Jews that the 1952 bombings of synagogues were done by Zionist commandos in an effort to panic them into fleeing to Israel.  I have no way to know if those accusations are correct but such a thing would surely be justified by Kahane.  He was filled with hatred of Arabs, Americans and secular Jews.  He believed in his cause and would do anything to achieve it.  He had a definite support base in the American Jewish community, although certainly not nearly as big as the vast proportion who were hostile to him.  I don't want to be inflammatory but I wrote in my notes back in the 1980s that I felt I was in a Munich beer hall in 1924 listening to Hitler polish up a speech.  I have never heard anyone quite like him. Note that in the Knesset, there are religious parties connected to the rabbis.  Two are United Torah Judaism (Ashkenazi) and Shas (Sephardic).  These are NOT Kahanist. If you are interested in how  a similar logic works out in American culture you might listen to my podcast on the Replacement Wars.

I'm thrilled to share with you some exciting insights from my conversation, where I had the pleasure of interviewing Jana Short, the inspiring editor-in-chief of Best Holistic Life Magazine. Jana Short is not just the editor-in-chief of a magazine with over 1 million subscribers, she is a woman of purpose. Despite her busy schedule, she joined me on my podcast, and I couldn't be more thrilled. Jana's work has earned her numerous accolades, including being named one of the Los Angeles Women of the Year and the top influencer by Los Angeles Entrepreneur Magazine.The Power of Holistic Living: Jana's journey into holistic health began when traditional medicine failed her. She discovered a world of holistic approaches that brought her hope and a new perspective on life. Despite her medical diagnosis, she found a way to thrive and create meaningful memories. She emphasized the importance of mindset and the power of choosing happiness, regardless of external circumstances.Spirituality vs. Religion: Jana distinguishes between spirituality and religion, stating that she is spiritual rather than religious. She believes that spirituality is about how we show up in the world and the positive energy we project.The Importance of Self-Care: Jana shared her insights on self-care and the importance of saying yes to oneself. She believes that when we say yes to ourselves, we are actually saying yes to everyone else because we can only pour from a full cup. By caring for ourselves, we can show up better for others and make a greater impact in the world.Redefining Success on Social Media: Jana shared a valuable tip she implemented on the magazine's Instagram account. She removed all likes and comments because she wanted to focus on opening up conversations and connecting with her audience more deeply.

Roman code or Mos Maiorum Mos maiorum means the way of the elders 8 virtues Fideas - Be trust worthy The Latin word fides encompasses several English words, such as trust/trustworthiness, good faith/faithfulness, confidence, reliability, and credibility. It was an important concept in Roman law, as oral contracts were common.  Pietas - Be respectful Pietas was the Roman attitude of dutiful respect towards the gods, homeland, parents, and family, which required the maintenance of relationships in a moral and dutiful manner.  Religio and Cultus - Be religious Related to the Latin verb religare, "to bind", religio was the bond between gods and mortals, as carried out in traditional religious practices for preserving the pax deorum (“peace of the gods”). Cultus was the active observance and the correct performance of rituals. Religious practice, in this sense, is to be distinguished from pietas and its inherent morality. See religion in ancient Rome and imperial cult (ancient Rome). Disciplin - Be diciplined The military character of Roman society suggests the importance of disciplina, as related to education, training, discipline, and self-control. Gravitas and constantia - Self Control or Temperance Gravitas was dignified self-control. Constantia was steadiness or perseverance. In the face of adversity, a good Roman was to display an unperturbed façade. Roman myth and history reinforced this value by recounting tales of figures such as Gaius Mucius Scaevola, who in a founding legend of the Republic demonstrated his seriousness and determination to the Etruscan king Lars Porsenna by holding his right hand in a fire. Virtus - Core values Derived from the Latin word vir ("man"), virtus constituted the ideal of the true Roman male. Gaius Lucilius discusses virtus in some of his work and says that it is virtus for a man to know what is good, evil, useless, shameful, or dishonorable. Dignitas and auctoritas - serve others with dignatity Dignitas and auctoritas were the end result of displaying the values of the ideal Roman and the service of the state, in the forms of priesthoods, military positions, and magistracies. Dignitas was a reputation for worth, honor and esteem. Thus, a Roman who displayed their gravitas, constantia, fides, pietas and other values of a Roman would possess dignitas among their peers. Similarly, by that path, a Roman could earn auctoritas ("prestige and respect"). Us military Code of Conduct The Code of Conduct provides guidance for the behavior and actions of members of the Armed Forces of the United States. This guidance applies not only on the battlefield but also in the event that the service member is captured and becomes a prisoner of war (POW). The Code is delineated in six articles. Article I: I am an American, fighting in the forces which guard my country and our way of life. I am prepared to give my life in their defense. Article II: I will never surrender of my own free will. If in command, I will never surrender the members of my command while they still have the means to resist. Article III: If I am captured I will continue to resist by all means available. I will make every effort to escape and aid others to escape. I will accept neither parole nor special favors from the enemy. Article IV: If I become a prisoner of war, I will keep faith with my fellow prisoners. I will give no information or take part in any action which might be harmful to my comrades. If I am senior, I will take command. If not, I will obey the lawful orders of those appointed over me and will back them up in every way. Article V: When questioned, should I become a prisoner of war, I am required to give my name, rank, service number, and date of birth. I will evade answering further questions to the utmost of my ability. I will make no oral or written statements disloyal to my country and its allies or harmful to their cause. Article VI: I will never forget that I am an American, fighting for freedom, responsible for my actions, and dedicated to the principles which made my country free. I will trust in my God and in the United States of America. Spartan code of Honor The Spartan hoplite followed a strict laconic code of honor. No soldier was considered superior to another. Suicidal recklessness, misbehavior, and rage were prohibited in the Spartan army, as those behaviors endangered the phalanx. Recklessness could also lead to dishonor, as in the case of Aristodemus. Spartans regarded those who fight, while still wishing to live, as more valorous than those who don't care if they die. They believed that a warrior must not fight with raging anger but with calm determination. Spartans must walk without any noise and speak only with a few words in the laconic way of life.  Other ways for Spartans to be dishonored include dropping the shield (rhipsaspia), failing to complete the training, and deserting in battles. Dishonored Spartans were labeled as outcasts and would be forced to wear different clothing for public humiliation.  In battles, the Spartans told stories of valor to inspire the troops and, before a major confrontation, they sang soft songs to calm the nerves. Bushido code Righteousness (義 gi). Justice is the most important virtue for the samurai. A true samurai does not attack the enemy without an important reason. Loyalty (忠義 chūgi). Loyalty is the 2nd most important thing in life. The samurai should always be loyal to his master. The samurai should also believe his duty to protect his master is the meaning of life. Honor (名誉 meiyo). A life without honor is not a life. If a samurai makes a mistake, he should honor his name by committing suicide. (Example: The story of 47 samurai (the Ako Incident). Respect (礼 rei). A samurai should always respect his enemy. A samurai respects his opponent before and after the fight. Even if a samurai kills his opponent, he is very respectful to the corpse. Honesty ( 誠 sei). A samurai never lies. “Deception” does not exist in the Book of a Samurai. Courage (勇 yū). A samurai fights until the end. A samurai is never afraid of anything. He is not afraid of death. A samurai is always brave because he fights for something he believes in. Consistency (誠 makoto ). A samurai never change their path. He is like a dragonfly, he always moves forward, he never moves back. What is your code? Why do you need a code?

Jesus tells the disciples the kingdom of heaven is like the smallest mustard seed that grows into a magnificent tree. When we step back from the notion that God only works through big miracles, we experience God's Kingdom through the smallest acts of faith. Through kindness to a stranger. Through serving alongside neighbor. In this episode, Melissa has a conversation with Luke Netto, Chair of the Commission on Youth Ministry and member of St. David's Roswell. They discuss God's Kingdom, bringing heaven closer to earth, and where they see God in the world. Listen in for the full conversation.Before listening, read For Faith.Luke Netto is a rising senior at Milton High School in Milton, Georgia, and a parishioner at St. David's Episcopal in Roswell.
