PREVIEW FOR LATER TODAY Guest: Professor Richard Carwardine. Carwardine explains that while the Civil Warwas won on battlefields, peace was secured at the pulpits. Lincoln recognized the influence of religious nationalists who were initially critical of him, understanding he needed their attention and support to knit the fractured Union back together during the conflict.1860 LINCOLN AFTER THE 1860 ELECTION BUT BEFORE THE INAUGURATION. WORKED FROM AN OFFFICE IN SPRINGFIELD.

JAMES I, THE GUNPOWDER PLOT, AND THE RISE OF THE MIDDLING SORT Colleague Jonathan Healey. King James I faces a divided England upon his accession, navigating religious tensions between Catholics, Puritans, and the mainstream. The 1605 Gunpowder Plot, a radical Catholic attempt to blow up Parliament, fuels lasting anti-Catholic paranoia and associates Catholicism with tyranny. Healey explains the rise of the "middling sort," a wealthy, literate class of farmers and lawyers who increasingly comprise the voting body in Parliament. Meanwhile, Jamesstruggles with structural inflation and attempts to avoid the fractious Parliament by keeping England out of expensive foreign wars. NUMBER 11670 CHARLES II

THE PERSONAL RULE OF CHARLES I AND THE SLIDE TOWARD REBELLION Colleague Jonathan Healey. Tensions rise as lawyer Edward Coke champions the Petition of Right against Charles I's arbitrary imprisonment and taxation. After the Duke of Buckingham is assassinated by a disillusioned soldier, Charles dissolves Parliament in 1629, beginning a decade of "personal rule." He levies controversial taxes like "ship money," which judges uphold, fearing the public. Religious rigidness led by Archbishop Laud and the ruthless administration of the Earl of Strafford alienate the populace. Charles's attempt to impose a new prayer book on Scotland triggers a rebellion, causing his control over England to collapse. NUMBER 31680 CHARLES II

THE RESTORATION AND THE BLAZING WORLD Colleague Jonathan Healey. Seeking stability after political chaos, England invites Charles II to return in 1660. The Restoration maintains parliamentary taxation power but brings a severe Anglican religious reaction against dissenters. Royalists exact revenge, grotesquely exhuming and hanging Cromwell's corpse. Charles II rules with more financial independence due to growing customs revenue from trade and empire. The era also sees intellectual vibrancy, exemplified by Margaret Cavendish, whose book The Blazing Worldblends science fiction with critiques of technology and gender roles during a time of scientific curiosity. NUMBER 71669 ALLEGORY OF BEHEADING CHARLES I

An article in Tablet magazine discussing the segment of the Gen Z population that is turning to conservative and demanding forms of religious practice provides the jumping off point for this episode.

Rosicrucian Origins with Ronnie Pontiac Ronnie Pontiac was the personal research assistant for Manly P. Hall at the Philosophical Research Society in Los Angeles. He is author of American Metaphysical Religion: Esoteric and Mystical Traditions of the New World. He is coauthor with Tamra Lucid of The Magic of the Orphic Hymns: A New Translation for the Modern Mystic. He explores the true origins of Rosicrucianism, arguing that the famous manifestos were a radical literary and cultural intervention rather than an ancient secret order. Pontiac situates their emergence within the religious, political, and intellectual upheavals of 17th-century Europe, particularly during the Thirty Years' War. Ronnie reframes Rosicrucianism as a decentralized countercultural movement that spread ideas through symbolism, imagination, and culture rather than hierarchy or initiation. 00:00:01 Introduction: Rosicrucian origins and misconceptions 00:09:38 Religious conflict and the Holy Roman Empire 00:18:20 Emperor Rudolph II and hermetic culture 00:28:22 The Rosicrucian manifestos and public reaction 00:38:33 Alchemical marriage and political mythology 00:47:56 Defeat of Bohemia and shattered hopes 00:56:10 Counterculture and horizontal transmission 01:05:48 The dangers of intellectual hierarchy 01:14:21 Living Rosicrucian principles in practice 01:28:49 Conclusion New Thinking Allowed host, Jeffrey Mishlove, PhD, is author of The Roots of Consciousness, Psi Development Systems, and The PK Man.

From measles outbreaks in South Carolina schools

This week on the Friday Free-for-All, we dive into the local measles outbreak in South Carolina, the debate over vaccine mandates, and the controversy surrounding religious exemptions.

Religious identities have shifted dramatically in the last quarter century. But how, and it what ways? Is religion as we once knew it dying in the U.S.? Or are people finding other ways of expressing the same kinds of needs for affiliation and meaning in different forms? What do people really mean when they say they are spiritual but not religious? Or religious but not affiliated with any traditional communities or institutions?This panel discussion, held on October 25, 2025, centered around what recent trends might tell us about the future of faith and belonging in American life. Our panel of experts, moderated by Bushman Chair Laurie Maffly-Kipp, explored one of the most communitarian traditions, the Mormon faith, as well as other American religious affiliations and spiritual identities.Visit our website to learn more.PanelistsRosemary Avance is Assistant Professor of Media and Strategic Communications at Oklahoma State University.

He specializes in religion and culture in the late nineteenth and twentieth centuries, particularly examining the intersections of American modernity and Protestant and post-Protestant religious modernity in the United States.

Part 3: The depth of Israel's apostasy (Judges 17:1-21:25), continued Religious corruption (Judges 17:1-18:31), continued Religious…

Original airdate: April 6, 2021 In recent decades, many people have grown distant from organized religion—disenchanted by its structures, yet still yearning for a meaningful inner life rooted in purpose, reflection, and depth. My guest today, Thomas Moore, reminds us that spirituality doesn't have to be confined to rigid belief systems or purely rational thinking. He invites us to cultivate a personal spiritual style—one that can exist within religion, outside it, or somewhere beautifully in between. Thomas is the author of 24 books, including the #1 New York Times bestseller Care of the Soul. His own journey has been richly unconventional: once a Catholic monk, later a scholar with a PhD in religious studies, and eventually a psychotherapist and university professor. His work weaves together spirituality, mythology, depth psychology, and the arts, with a deep reverence for imagination and symbolic life. Through his writing and lectures around the world, he seeks to help restore soul to modern culture. In this thoughtful and expansive conversation, Thomas explores how we can personalize religion and make spirituality truly our own. He shares both traditional and unexpected pathways to mystical experience—and offers gentle guidance on how to bring soul and sacredness into everyday life.

In this wide-ranging, honest, and hilarious conversation, Adam is joined by Sammy and Jermaine to unpack one of the most misunderstood parts of the Christian life: evangelism. From old-school street preaching and “Way of the Master” style encounters to modern, relational approaches rooted in encouragement and authenticity, this episode explores what it really means to share your faith in today's culture.The guys reflect on past experiences — from cold-calling strangers in malls to praying for people at festivals — and wrestle with why so many Christians feel intimidated, awkward, or unqualified when it comes to talking about Jesus. They break down the difference between treating people like projects versus treating them like people, and why relationships, patience, and spiritual discernment matter more than perfect scripts.Along the way, things get very Beyond the Letter as they roast Jermaine's beard, debate frosted tips, reminisce about wild evangelism stories, and expose how fear, comfort, and instant-gratification culture have quietly killed bold faith. This episode is both practical and challenging — reminding listeners that sharing the gospel isn't about pressure or performance, but about being present, available, and willing to take a small risk that could change someone's eternity.--Connect with:Adam Mesa https://www.instagram.com/amesa/Samuel Rodriguez https://www.instagram.com/samuelmrod/Jermaine Baker https://www.instagram.com/verlonbakerofficial/--Don't forget to stay connected with us:Youtube https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC4OvpFp9OB9_DgVdVVbXhFgInstagram https://www.instagram.com/beyond.theletter/Tik Tok https://www.tiktok.com/discover/beyond-the-letter--Have a question?

In this powerful episode, I sit down with Dr. Nathan Finn, one of evangelicalism's foremost historians of spiritual awakenings, to tackle one of the most pressing questions facing the church today: How do we discern between authentic moves of God and emotionalism that burns out as quickly as it ignites? Dr. Finn brings decades of research studying every major revival from Jonathan Edwards' Northampton awakening to recent movements like Asbury 2023, helping us understand what genuine spiritual renewal really looks like.We dive deep into the patterns that mark authentic revival throughout history - from the Moravian hundred-year prayer meeting that birthed modern missions to the controversies surrounding Charles Finney's revival techniques. Dr. Finn shares crucial insights about why some movements with unusual manifestations turn out genuine while others fizzle into hype, and reveals the red flags that indicate spiritual manipulation versus the Holy Spirit's authentic work. This conversation is especially timely as we see growing spiritual curiosity in our culture and wonder if we might be approaching another great awakening.In this episode you will learn:The biblical distinctions between revival, renewal, and awakeningThree unmistakable marks that appear in every genuine move of God throughout historyHow Jonathan Edwards discerned true conversion from religious excitementThe connection between authentic revival and missional explosionWarning signs that distinguish spiritual manipulation from real revivalWhy the church often becomes a counterculture right before major awakeningsHow to evaluate modern movements like Asbury 2023 while they're happeningThe historical patterns suggesting we might be approaching another great awakeningWhat pastors and Christians should be doing now to prepare for potential revivalWhy "staying close and staying clean" matters more than revival techniquesConnect with Dr. Nathan Finn:Website: nathanfinn.comSubstack: Think Christianly, Live FaithfullyBooks: Historical Theology for the Church (B&H Academic)Stay Connected with Johnny and The Dig In Podcast:Subscribe and follow our YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@thejohnnyovaFollow all things Johnny Ova: https://linktr.ee/johnnyovaGet Johnny's book, The Revelation Reset: https://a.co/d/hiUkW8H#Revival #SpiritualAwakening #ChurchHistory #NathanFinn #Christianity #HolySpirit #JonathanEdwards #CharlesFinney #Asbury2023 #ChurchRevival #BiblicalDiscernment #DigInPodcast #ChristianPodcast #TheologyPodcast #ChurchMovementsSupport the show

Guest: Ronald White. Chamberlain returned to Bowdoin College as its president, attempting to modernize the institution by introducing science and broader curricula. He faced resistance from conservative trustees and alumni but persisted in his vision for a progressive education. Religious tensions also arose as Unitarianism gained influence; Chamberlain remained inclusive, even as Fanny and his daughter left the Congregational church. Throughout this era, he continued to be a highly sought-after speaker at veterans' reunions, outshining famous generals like Grant and Sheridan with his ability to weave classical literature and deep meaning into his war recollections.1863 GETTYSBURG

A father and son sit down for an unusually honest conversation about Jewish identity, continuity, and choice. Allen Horowitz was raised with a strong cultural Jewish pride but little religious observance; his son Meir grew up the same way, until a series of experiences slowly pulled him in a radically different direction. What begins as a familiar American Jewish story turns into something far more complex, touching on interfaith dating, generational expectations, and the quiet questions people are often afraid to ask out loud. As Meir's curiosity deepens, through travel, community, and personal struggle, father and son find themselves navigating a widening gap in worldview while trying to preserve trust, respect, and love. This episode isn't about convincing or converting; it's about watching a relationship adapt in real time as one person changes and the other learns how to respond. A raw, thoughtful look at faith, fear, autonomy, and what it really means to support someone you love, even when their path isn't the one you imagined.

Description:What if the most faithful thing we could do right now is simply pay attention? In this episode of For the Love, Jen and Amy sit down with theologian, ethics professor, and artist Lee C. Camp for a soulful conversation about the kind of faith that wakes us up to what truly matters. As part of our Wake Up Call series on faith, Lee invites us to slow down and notice the world—our lives, our neighbors, and the beauty that keeps trying to reach us. Together, they explore why paying attention is not a luxury but a spiritual practice—and how our obsession with productivity, planning, and certainty can cause us to miss the most beautiful and formative parts of our lives. Lee reflects on what it means to know ourselves as deeply beloved by God, not because of what we produce but because love is the starting point of a life well lived. This conversation traces the threads of human flourishing and imagination, and asks why beauty—found in art, nature, poetry, and story—often teaches us more about God than arguments ever could. As he often does on his own No Small Endeavor podcast, Lee challenges us to consider what Christians are being called to wake up to in this season: a renewed attention to community, to creation, and to a church that is something we practice together, not merely something we attend. If you're longing for a faith that feels grounded, spacious, and alive—one that helps you live a good life in the world you actually inhabit—this episode is a gentle, necessary wake-up call. Thought-provoking Quotes: “What Christianity most needs right now is to rediscover the basics of the beautiful story which we claim to believe.” – Lee C. Camp The model of the cross means that if we take up our cross and follow Christ, that we can expect difficulty because so much of human history doesn't want that kind of way. Religious powers don't want that. Imperialist powers don't want that. And so we can trust that we're going to have our own kind of crosses to bear along the way. And yet that life has triumphed over death. That love has triumphed over hatred. that beauty and truth and goodness has triumphed over hostility and ugliness and meanness. And so that's the big story.” – Lee C. Camp I deeply understand why a lot of people just can't believe all this [religious] stuff. But for me, it, the story at its best. is so beautiful that I don't know why everybody doesn't want to believe it, even if they can't believe it. It's this place  we embody this narrative, embody this beauty, embody this brokenness in which we try to find tangible ways to do life together.” – Lee C.
