Happy holidays, everyone! -- -- Earlier this year, a spate of news stories told of chatbot users travelling through the looking-glass right into Conspirituality. Paranoid conspiracies, spiritual awakenings, even falling head-over-heels in love with the simulated personalities of large language models like ChatGPT. Could AI have finally crossed the threshold into autonomous sentient consciousness? Could it be that chatbots were anointing new prophets—or, conversely, that very special users were awakening their very special friends via the power of love and illuminating dialogue? Step aside, QAnon, the code behind the screen is illuminated by God! Sadly, some of these stories trended very dark. Suicides, attempted murder, paranoid delusions, spouses terrified of losing their partners and co-parents to what looked like spiritual and romantic delusions. For this standalone installment of his Roots of Conspirituality series, Julian examines this strange new phenomenon, then takes a detour into Ancient Greece and the oracle at Delphi to show that everything old is actually new again—just dressed up in digital technology.

In this episode, Paige and Jamie from Real Food Recovery join us to explore the powerful intersection of holistic health, nervous system regulation, and long-term recovery from ultra-processed food addiction. They share why they wrote their book, the four core branches that anchor recovery, and why recovery isn't about perfection—it's about resilience, compassion, and sustainable support systems that hold us when life falls apart.   With honesty and courage, Jamie shares her story of leaving an abusive relationship and navigating destabilization while protecting her recovery. Together, we dig into spirituality (beyond religion), harm reduction, abstinence debates, nervous system science, ego traps like "I'll start Monday," and how we can meet ourselves with clarity and grace instead of shame. This conversation is validating, empowering, and deeply human. Recovery isn't about mastering food—it's about building a life worth staying for.  

In this episode of LiberatED, Kerry McDonald speaks with Talon and Travis Holleman, co-founders of Roots Farm and Forest School in Delaware. What began as a small homeschool co-op during the pandemic has grown into a thriving, nature-based learning ecosystem serving more than 1,000 students through microschool programs, homeschool enrichment, after-school offerings, and seasonal camps. Talon and Travis share their personal journey from successful corporate careers into homeschooling, and why outdoor, play-based, and community-centered education felt like the right path for their family. They walk listeners through the evolution of Roots—from deschooling their own children, to transforming a homestead into a permaculture learning space, to building a financially sustainable microschool inspired by Waldorf, Montessori, and Reggio Emilia philosophies. The conversation also explores the realities of running a school as a family business, supporting children's social-emotional growth, and planning for the future with hopes to expand into middle and high school programs. This episode is a powerful reminder that education entrepreneurship isn't just about building schools—it's about building lives rooted in purpose, connection, and joy. *** Sign up for Kerry's free, weekly email newsletter on education trends at edentrepreneur.org.

From the end of the American Civil War to the start of World War II, the Protestant missionary movement unintentionally tilled the soil in which American Islamophobia would eventually take root. What ideas did missionaries in Islamic contexts pass on to later generations? How were these ideas connected to centuries-old Protestant discourses about Muslims and gender beginning in the Reformation? And what bearing does this history have on the birth of Islamophobia and on Christian-Muslim dialogue efforts in the US today? In answering these questions, Re-inventing Islam traces the gender constructs that have informed historical Protestant perceptions of Islam, especially in the far-reaching textual, visual, and material influences of the American and British movement for missions to Muslims. This book first considers Protestant discourse about Muslim women and men from the Reformation to the Enlightenment. Then it turns to the colossal archive of literature, images, and cultural objects that missionaries--and particularly missionary women--collected from Islamic contexts and used to inform and motivate their constituents.Anglo-Protestants in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries perpetually re-invented stereotypes about Muslims and used these negative images to achieve particular Protestant theological and political purposes, including missionary aims. They did so when disseminating gender critiques widely to Protestant men, women, and children. Why did they re-invent Islam? Deanna Ferree Womack argues that they did so to reinforce Protestant theological claims, to justify their evangelistic endeavors, to express both humanitarian concern and Eurocentric views of the world, and to support British and American cultural, economic, and military expansion. Simultaneously, however, this same missionary movement educated its constituents about diverse Islamic cultures, in part by providing humanizing images of Islam. Missionaries also formed personal relationships with Muslims that would open pathways toward formal efforts of Christian-Muslim dialogue after the mid-twentieth century. Americans have inherited all of these legacies. In revisiting this history readers will find new possibilities for building a more open and just future. Learn more about your ad choices.

From 1981–1987, he served as research assistant and designated substitute lecturer to the legendary teacher Manly P. Hall, gaining unparalleled firsthand access to the inner currents of Western esoteric thought.  We explore his latest book, The Rosicrucian Counterculture: The Origins and Influence of the Invisible Society.  We explore the Invisible Schools, illuminating the mysterious lineage that has quietly shaped philosophy, science, art, politics, and spirituality for centuries.“The universal reformation begins with personal reformation.

Some artists belong to a moment. Johnny Osbourne is part of the evolution of reggae, dating back to the 1960s and the Studio One world, to the raw energy of 1980s dancehall. Osbourne didn't just adapt to change; he carried his voice through it all while delivering his unique vocal style. Studio One foundations Johnny Osbourne came up at Studio One, and early recordings like “See and Blind” showcase a young vocalist steeped in soul, restraint, and melodic control. Studio One was a label but also a fertile training ground, a boot camp for many young artists over the years, and Osbourne took it all in. By the mid–1970s, Osbourne moved beyond Studio One and began shaping a more personal sound - his tone grew stronger and more street-aware. Tracks like “Truths and Rights” and “Ready or Not” feel like a bridge, still rooted in roots reggae, but miles away from his first Studio One Recordings. When dancehall took over in the early 1980s, many roots singers faded into obscurity. Osbourne didn't. Instead of fighting the shift, he leaned into it — applying a roots-trained voice to harder, faster riddims. Songs like “Buddy Bye,” “Folly Ranking,” and “No Ice Cream Sound” became sound system staples, built for crowd reaction and rewind culture. It's been 6 decades since the 77-year-old released his first music, and he is still recording to this day. That is a remarkable career and legacy.

In this conversation, Kelsi Sheren discusses the recent terrorist attack in Australia, emphasizing the implications of cultural assimilation and the dangers posed by extremist ideologies. She critiques the response of Western societies to terrorism and the media's portrayal of such events, calling for stronger immigration policies and a reevaluation of how these ideologies are addressed. Sheren argues that the current empathetic approach is leading to increased violence and that a more aggressive stance is necessary to protect Western values and communities.00:00 The Unfolding Tragedy in Australia03:02 Cultural Assimilation and Its Consequences05:53 The Role of Ideology in Violence09:01 The Response of Western Society12:07 The Need for Action Against Terrorism14:54 Understanding the Roots of Hatred17:53 The Future of Western Ideology21:03 Concluding Thoughts on Terrorism and Society - - - - - - - - - - - -One Time Donation! - Paypal - https://paypal.me/brassandunityBuy me a coffee! - https://buymeacoffee.com/kelsisherenLet's connect!Youtube - https://www.youtube.com/@thekelsisherenperspectiveInstagram -  https://www.instagram.com/thekelsisherenperspective?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igsh=ZDNlZDc0MzIxNw%3D%3DX: https://x.com/KelsiBurnsSubstack:  https://substack.com/@kelsisherenTikTok -   https://x.com/KelsiBurnsListen on Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/1O3yiobOjThKHtqyjviy1a?si=6c78bdc2325a43aeSUPPORT OUR SPONSORS - - - - - - - - - - - -Ketone IQ- 30% off with code KELSI - https://ketone.com/KELSIGood Livin - 20% off with code KELSI - https://www.itsgoodlivin.com/?ref=KELSIBrass & Unity - 20% off with code UNITY  - http://brassandunity.com- - - - - - - - - - - - -CHARITYHeroic Hearts Project - https://www.heroicheartsproject.orgDefenders of Freedom - https://www.defendersoffreedom.usBoot Campaign - https://bootcampaign.org

In a wide-ranging discussion w/ the eminent historian of Latin America Aviva Chomsky we laid out the motives and purposes of Trump's aggression against the region currently ongoing. We began w/ Venezuela, and discussed the history of U.S. subversion there and Trump's current obsession with its oil. We also talked about Cuba, which is another, if not bigger, goal of the current administration. More generally we discussed the way the U.S. has undermined and destroyed Latin American economies, and how it's contributed to our current immigration crisis.Bio//She is a professor of history and the Coordinator of Latin American, Latino and Caribbean Studies at Salem State University in Massachusetts."Author of Is Science Enough?: Forty Critical Questions About Climate Justice," "Central America's Forgotten History: Revolution, Violence, and the Roots of Migration" and "Undocumented: How Immigration Became Illegal."-----------------

​​In this conversation, Emily sits down with author, educator, and speaker Caroline J. Sumlin to explore the ideas behind her groundbreaking book, We'll All Be Free: How a Culture of White Supremacy Devalues Us and How We Can Reclaim Our True Worth. Together, they unpack the systemic and cultural roots that shape our identity and self-worth, and how the beliefs we've inherited from society have kept us striving, performing, and disconnected from our inherent value.This episode digs into the hidden characteristics of white supremacy culture including perfectionism, individualism, urgency, and fear of conflict, and how they quietly infiltrate our relationships, work, and daily lives. Emily and Caroline explore what it means to resist these patterns through community, rest, and intentional slowing down, and how collective liberation begins with personal awareness and small, everyday acts of resistance.If you've ever felt like you're constantly hustling to prove your worth, this conversation will help you trace that feeling back to its roots and offer a path toward freedom, healing, and belonging. Together, they remind us that reclaiming our worth isn't just personal work, it's cultural transformation.In this episode, we explore:How white supremacy culture quietly shapes our standards of beauty, success, and worthThe connection between perfectionism, hustle culture, and systemic oppressionWhy so many of us feel like we're never enough—and how that belief is culturally conditionedThe hidden traits of white supremacy culture (like urgency, individualism, and fear of conflict) and how they show up in daily lifeHow burnout, self-criticism, and overachievement stem from systems designed to keep us strivingWhat it looks like to begin unlearning urgency and embracing rest, community, and presenceHow reclaiming our inherent worth becomes a form of personal and collective liberationThe power of curiosity, discomfort, and compassion in dismantling inherited conditioningIf this conversation opened your eyes to how deeply culture shapes our worth, don't stop here.

Hey y'all, welcome back to the Roots and Refuge Podcast. Today's episode is a tender one. It's about fully living in the season you're in even when that season is uncomfortable, uncertain, or deeply painful. I'm sharing honestly about the past year our family has walked through: fertility treatments, hope, loss, surrender, and the quiet work of trusting the Lord with desires I cannot carry on my own. I talk about what it's been like to hold an open heart as my older children step into young adulthood, and how grief and longing have sharpened my awareness of what is right in front of me. This episode isn't about escaping hard seasons or rushing toward what comes next. It's about presence. About resisting the pull to live in the past or anxiously project ourselves into the future. About the truth that not everything that feels uncomfortable is bad and that being fully present may be the greatest gift available to us right now. I share reflections on living seasonally not just in the garden or the kitchen, but in the soul. I  call it combing out the tangles of the heart and trusting God's steady presence in the midst of it all. If you've been navigating a season of waiting, loss, transition, or quiet surrender, I hope this episode feels like a chair pulled up beside you. You can also continue this conversation with me over on my new Substack, A Life In Season, where I'm writing more deeply about living present and faithful in every chapter of life. In this episode I also referenced a past episode with my friend Regan. You can hear that podcast here.  Thanks for being here, and for walking alongside me in every season.  If you've found value in this project, consider supporting the podcast on Patreon, where you can listen early and join our monthly Q&A. As always, I bless you until next time.

Welcome to episode 303 of Growers Daily! We cover: We are joined by Mikey Densham as well as Jay Dunstan, who works at Five Tales but has become an integral part of the business in some very cool ways (which we discuss). Also on the agenda for today is how their farm business collides with different holidays (like have you ever thought about how different your business would be if the holiday season landed smack dab in the middle of your growing season) AND we take on a patreon question about agritourism.  We are a Non-Profit! 

This week's conversation with Cochemea Gastelum brings our season to a close. The saxophonist and bandleader joins us to discuss his beautiful LP Ancestros Futuros, out now on Daptone Records. Mining his Indigenous roots, soul jazz, and funk, it's a fantastic album, and it completes a trilogy that began with 2019's All My Relations, continued with 2021's Baca Sewa, and now concludes.  Cochemea's resume is lengthy. He worked extensively with the late soul singer Sharon Jones as part of her Dap Kings ensemble and has played with the Budos Band, Antibalas, Robert Walter's 20th Congress, Archie Shepp, Public Enemy, the Roots, David Byrne, and more. Genre-hopping comes naturally to the San Diego-raised saxophonist, but the cultural conversation that occurs on these records is especially unique, and it was a pleasure to have him join us to discuss it.  Transmissions is created in partnership with the Talkhouse Podcast Network. We're brought to you by ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Aquarium Drunkard⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, an independent music media crew headed by Justin Gage.
