In this episode, Courtenay and Kit discuss group-think dynamics, intrinsic motivators, and activism. Kit's career as an intelligence and deception analyst aids in this conversation of discovering someone's ‘why power' and how this essential need can be used to leverage and manipulate behaviors. She talks about how this filters into larger social groups as well, initiating virtue signaling and progressive agendas. Kit guides listeners in identifying their own validating motivators in order to uncover how they can be most effective when it comes to activism. Kit is an intelligence and deception analyst, liberty activist, and author. Her writings specialize in how to design and maintain an effective political activism group. She's been part of several efforts to stand up against tyranny both in the public sphere and in private, including the organization of a highly successful mass disobedience rally to defy an unconstitutional gun law. She holds an Honors MA in Intelligence Studies, an Honors BA in Counterintelligence, and is a certified Statement Analyst.

How do you know if it's your gut instinct or your resistance talking when you get that feeling that something is a little ‘off' in your business? Is it your instinct which needs to be listened to, or resistance which needs to be ignored?

But I am also afraid a lot, and have no real certainty about anything. I remembered something Father Tom had told me--that the opposite of faith is not doubt, but certainty. Certainty is missing the point entirely. Faith includes noticing the mess, the emptiness and discomfort, and letting it be there until some light returns.” Anne Lamott Question 2-But what about the book of James where doubt seems to be condemned? “differences between “magic” and biblical faith is that magic is about engaging in behaviors that ultimately benefit the practitioner, while biblical faith is about cultivating a covenantal relationship with God that is built on mutual trust.” ― Gregory A.

It can refer to awe before unutterable holiness, but it can also refer to coercion where some voices are silence in the interest of control by the dominant voices.” ― Walter Brueggemann, Interrupting Silence: God's Command to Speak Out. Some other quotations to ponder: “Multitasking is the drive to be more than we are, to control more than we do, to extend our power and our effectiveness. Such practice yields a divided self, with full attention given to nothing.” ―Walter Brueggemann, Sabbath as Resistance: Saying No to the Culture of Now “No establishment figure wants to tolerate affrontive poetry that exposes the failure of the totalizing system and claims it contradicts God’s will.” ― Walter Brueggemann, Interrupting Silence: God's Command to Speak Out. “We have seen in our own day in so many liberation struggles that the first cry for mercy does not succeed. The silencers are powerful and determined. Among us the silencers are the powerful, who have a stake in the status quo and do not mind some poverty-stricken disability, and those who collude with the powerful, often unwittingly. The work of silencing, like that of this crowd, is variously by slogan, by intimidation, by deception, or by restrictive legislation. Emancipation does not succeed most often in a one-shot effort.

Walter Brueggemann, in Sabbath as Resistance: Saying No to the Culture of Now, writes, “(Sabbath) is resistance because it is a visible insistence that our lives are not defined by . . . production and consumption of goods.” There is a way in which keeping Sabbath frees us from the anxiety that creeps in and says, “But it’s not finished yet! There’s more to do!” Sabbath-keeping helps us resist grounding ourselves in measuring our worth by the work of our hands, or in multitasking, drivenness, or even moving too fast. In this bonus pod, Carolyn Carney sits down with activist, author, and Area Ministry Director Jonathan Walton from NYC.

I've been talking about Sabbath in the last couple of podcast episodes (Episode 61: Sabbath Rest and Your Identity, Episode 62: Sabbath Rest and Anxiety), and so I close the series in this episode talking about various practices. As I've come to learn more about Sabbath and practice various ways of being on that day, I realize that everyone's Sabbath may look differently. Ultimately, I believe the key is that Sabbath is a way of being, rather than doing, and so it's a day where we set aside our compulsion to have to do things, perform, be productive, etc, and we enjoy our relationship with God, others, and ourselves. In this episode I discuss: How to assess your busyness (i.e. "white space on the calendar"). Setting a day to practice Sabbath. Setting a time for your Sabbath practice. Asking yourself questions about what a practice of being vs. doing would look like. Allowing for the fact that your Sabbath will look different than other peoples. Expecting resistance as you fight the culture of consumption and busyness. Etc.

As I mentioned in my podcast last week (Sabbath Rest and Identity), I have been thinking a lot about the topic of Sabbath over the course of the last year. It seems that it comes up in more and more of my conversations, and it's absence in the lives of many people (especially evident in many of the clients I work with), lead to a lot struggles, conflict, and issues with anxiety and depression. And it's absence in my own life is the source (I believe) for much of the anxiety that I have struggled with.   For a period of time (I actually blogged about Sabbath about 5 and half years ago, and here almost 6 years ago). So in reality, I guess I have been thinking about this topic for a long time...but maybe I'm just now starting to take it seriously.   This seriousness began last year when I read Walter Brueggemann's powerful book, Sabbath as Resistance: Saying No to the Culture of Now.   Last week I focused more on how identity relates to Sabbath rest, and though I will talk about that again in this podcast, I focus more on the anxiety that happens when we are caught up in a culture of productivity. In Sabbath as Resistance, Brueggemann writes: "There had been no work stoppage for the slaves, because they had to gather straw during their time off; no work stoppage of anybody in the Egyptian system, because frantic productivity drove the entire system. And now YHWH nullifies that entire system of anxious production. There are limits to how much and how long slaves must produce bricks! There are limits to how much food Pharaoh can store and consume and administer. The limit is set by the weekly work pause that breaks the production cycle. And those who participate in it break the anxiety cycle. They are invited to awareness that life does not consist in frantic production and consumption that reduces everyone else to threat and competitor. And as the work stoppage permits a waning of anxiety, so energy is redeployed to the neighborhood. The odd insistence of the God of Sinai is to counter anxious productivity with committed neighborliness. The latter practice does not produce so much; but it creates an environment of security and respect and dignity that redefines the human project."

In the book, Brueggemann writes: "In our own contemporary context of the rat race of anxiety, the celebration of Sabbath is an act of both resistance and alternative. It is resistance because it is a visible insistence that our lives are not defined by the production and consumption of commodity good. Such an act of resistance requires enormous intentionality and communal reinforcement amid the barrage of seductive pressures from the insatiable insistences of the market, with its intrusion into every part of our life from the family to the national budget." Loc. 196 of 1231 (Kindle) This is the first of approximately 3-4 podcasts I am going to do on the topic of Sabbath. And in this episode I explore: the context of Sabbath in the Exodus story God's freeing of Israel's identity from being one of production and performance, to one of rest and dependence in him. the ways in which we build our sense of identity around our busyness, production, performance, accomplishments, etc. Sabbath is a call to place our identity and sense of self in relationship to God who sustains and cares for us in our being, rather than in one that is dependent upon our control and doing. the lack of Sabbath as a producer of anxiety.
