When thinking of Ambassadors of Basketball in St. Louis, a key name that stands out above so many is Legend Anthony Bonner. Anthony Bonner's successful professional basketball career was molded right here in St. Louis. A St. Louis native, Bonner prepped at Vashon High School. The USA Today All-America honoree helped the Wolverines to a pair of Missouri Class 4A state championships. He averaged 14.6 points per game and a remarkable 16.8 rebounds per game as a senior, and for his efforts was tabbed the 1986 Mr. Show-Me Basketball.Bonner carried that success to Saint Louis University, where he starred on Rich Grawer's teams from 1986-90. A forward, Bonner re-wrote the Billiken record book and remains at the top of several categories to this day. He is the all-time leading scorer (1,972 points) and rebounder (1,424 rebounds) in Saint Louis University men's basketball history. Bonner also is SLU's all-time leader in steals (192), minutes played (4,536) and games started (130).During Bonner's time at SLU, the Billikens posted an 87-46 record and advanced to the NIT final in 1989 and 1990. He helped Saint Louis to a then school-record 27 wins during the 1988-89 campaign. Bonner still holds the Billikens' single-game scoring mark of 45 points against Loyola Chicago in 1990. Bonner earned a communication degree from the University in 1990.Following his successful collegiate career, Bonner was a first-round pick by the Sacramento Kings in the 1990 NBA Draft. He played six seasons in the NBA, serving stints with the Kings (1990-93), New York Knicks (1993-95) and Orlando Magic (1996). In all, Bonner appeared in more than 300 games, scored more than 2,000 points and collected more than 1,700 rebounds.Bonner's game also took him around the world, as he played professionally in Italy, Greece, Turkey, Puerto Rico, Spain, Russia and Argentina.Bonner was inducted into the Billiken Hall of Fame in 1996. He was the Billikens' inaugural representative in the Atlantic 10 Conference Legends program, which honors former players or coaches who have made a lasting impact on their institutions.As part of Saint Louis University men's basketball's 100th-anniversary celebration, Bonner was voted by fans as one of 16 members on SLU's All-Century men's basketball team.Bryan Turner - @Coach.Bryan.Turner (Instagram)Bryan Turner - @CoachBT_Turner (Twitter)Bryan Turner - $BTHoopCoach (CashApp)Also, Planning on attending any concerts or sporting events this summer, Use code COACHTURNER for $20 off your first SeatGeek order:https://seatgeek.onelink.me/RrnK/team... Shop recommended products from by Bryan Turner on www.amazon.com.

Ron Austin is one of those rare writers that you know is going to be a powerhouse in the publishing industry one day, and that day may be very soon. His exceptional debut is a collection of short stories called Avery Colt is a Snake, A Thief, A Liar. I could not help comparing it to one of my favorite creative nonfiction memoirs, Frank McCourt's Angela's Ashes. McCourt's autobiography that captures the Depression and World War II eras from a poor Irish child's perspective in a way that keeps flipping the emotional switches between pathos, horror, and laugh-out-loud humor. I had the same reaction to the stories in Avery Colt is a Snake, A Thief, A Liar. Just as McCourt so successfully captured the unique voice and the internal feelings of the narrator and the way he observed the children and adult characters that cycled in and out of his life, Avery Colt's narrative voice does the same thing, but this time from a poor Black kid's experiences in North St. Louis. Ron Austin takes us in a deep dive into the stories and its incredibly vivid characters along with his fascinating perspectives on writing and teaching. -Ted Ibur Executive Director, St. Louis Literary Award Programs at Saint Louis University

This lecture was given on April 22, 2022 at Youngstown State University. For information on upcoming events, please visit our website at www.thomisticinstitute.org. About the speaker: Brian T. Carl earned his M.A. in Philosophy from Saint Louis University and his Ph.D. in Philosophy from The Catholic University of America. He is an assistant professor at the Center for Thomistic Studies at the University of St. Thomas in Houston, Texas. His research focuses on Thomistic metaphysics, philosophical theology, cognitive theory, and moral psychology.

For a time in his Ethiopian youth, Dr. Tedla G. Woldeyohannes, Ph.D., of Huntington University in Indiana, was a Marxist. But gradually he was called out of that materialistic metaphysics , and out of scientism, into Biblical, historic orthodox Christian belief, and into classically rigorous Philosophy, the search for truth and love of wisdom. Dr. Woldeyohannes has written a fascinating book in English (one of his 3 languages) just published called "A Philosopher's Testimony About the God Who Calls," which is worth every dollar and available for purchase here: https://www.amazon.com/Philosophers-Testimony-About-God-Calls/dp/B0B5KVD4K5/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=a+philosophers+testimony&qid=1661750890&sr=8-1 The book is clearly and beautifully (and at times humorously) written. It describes that inner journey that led him into contact with the rock stars (for lack of a better term) of Anglo/American analytic Philosophy. If Alvin Plantinga, William P. Alston, & William Hasker were Bruce Springsteen, Bono, and Cher, Tedla was receiving signed copies of Born in the USA, Under A Blood Red Sky, and that one song from Groundhog Day, plus money, from these stars *while he lived in Ethiopia !* Why did he receive these items ? Because he asked. He found their addresses, wrote letters, and asked for copies of books and articles unavailable to him otherwise. It seems God was and is at work in Tedla's life. Tedla joins us from Bill Hasker's old office there at Huntington University, which illustrates, perhaps even proves, the point. Through dire poverty, through traumatic family challenges, including the death of his brother (his roommate at the time), through tumultuous economies and politics, through international visa bureaucratic BS challenges and hangups, through enrollments and missed assignments because he had , as Aristophanes said of Socrates, he had his head in the clouds, through failure, delay, and even family death, God called Tedla to study Philosophy, no matter what. God called Tedla, (Dr. Tedla, now) to a life of singular focus on a Christian search for truth. This is a radical story. It's gripping. HIs outer journey accompanies and is as dramatic as his inner journey, taking him from Africa to Lost Angeles County, California to study Anglo-American Analytic Philosophy from a Christian perspective at Biola University, then to Colorado to teach Philosophy for a time (where, as it turns out, the same school that my own parents met, in my hometown), then to Western Michigan to continue his skills in a purely secular Philosophy graduate program, and finally to a Ph.D. in Anglo/American Analytic Philosophy at a Jesuit school under the famous Medieval Scholar and Philosopher of Religion Eleanore Stump and the famous Epistemologist John Greco at Saint Louis University. Through it all he was financially supported by Bill Alston and Bill Hasker, among some others, like for instance the philosophy celebrity equivalent of perhaps Johnny Cash, Dr. Peter van Inwagen, a famous Philosopher at the University of Notre Dame, who doesn't even think that money is real (see the 1 hour mark for detail of the metaphysics of ordinary palpable objects). There are so many moving parts to this story, to this intellectual development, but final detail: Recall, Tedla was not a native English speaker. He had to work for it, and work hard. His first purchases were: a radio, and a good English dictionary. Both for the purposes of mastering English. It has paid off. The Republican Professor is a pro-mastering-English, pro-Philosophy-done-well, pro-compelling-life-story, pro-turning-from-Marxism, pro-Testimony-of-the-God-Who-Calls podcast. Therefore, welcome Dr. Tedla G. Woldeyohannes, Ph.D., sitting in Bill Haskers' office at Huntington (I can't believe it) The Republican Professor is produced and hosted by Dr. Lucas J. Mather, Ph.D. TRP is currently ranked last in the world in the category of boring podcasts. Be sure to subscribe !

We're joined today by Prof. Dr. Errin Clark (Ph.D., Medieval Philosophy, SLU), a current or former Adjunct Professor in Wisconsin, Missouri, and Ohio. He's taught Logic, Critical Thinking, Theology, Latin, World Religions, Medical Ethics, Business Ethics, Environmental Ethics, Philosophy of the Human Person (Philosophical Anthropology), and high school as well. Dr. Clark is a serious Catholic scholar, having been classically trained at the Jesuit school St. Louis University, not pronounced "street Louis University," which I found out during our interview. Dr. Clark (not pronounced "drive Clark", which I also discovered during our interview)(awkward) is a gun owner, training his six kids in firearms safety fundamentals. This despite the fact that he grew up near Santa Cruz, California. We cover a host of topics related to Philosophy, like philosophy of language, metaphysics, epistemology, Plato versus Aristotle, Medieval Philosophy (which he specialized in under the famous medievalist scholar, Eleonore Stump at SLU), teaching college, firearms heritage, inculcating virtue in the kids, grade inflation, issues in Theology, like whether angels or demons are real, drug use, the occult, different Christian denominations in his California growing up years, etc. It's a wide-ranging discussion. The Republican Professor is a pro-listening-actually-listening-to-the-Adjuncts, pro-confession, pro-teaching-excellence, pro-inculcating-virtue-in-the-young, pro-struggling-through-Theology, pro-Philosophy-taught-right-in-college, pro-firearms-safety-education podcast.

In this episode of The Concordia Publishing House Podcast, author Molly Lackey discusses what it means to confess Jesus and explains how we find our identity in our Creator.Molly's book, Confessing Jesus: The Heart of Being a Lutheran, will be available to pre-order soon at cph.org. Show Notes:      Molly Lackey offers a unique perspective on what it means to be a Lutheran. She reminds listeners that their true identity is found only in Christ Jesus. This brings us great joy as our Creator has control over our lives and calls us His own. Molly's book dives into five big questions: Who is Jesus? What did Jesus do? Where is Jesus now? When is Jesus coming back? And why did Jesus do all of this? This podcast episode touches on a few of these as well as the blessings that come from Jesus in the Sacraments.  Questions CoveredBefore we can know ourselves, we need to know Jesus. Who is Jesus?What can we find out about God from nature, reason, and the world around us? What can we find out only from the Bible?What did Jesus do? What is that important?Let's talk about the Ascension. What does it tell us?How does Jesus' presence in the Sacraments affect us?What does Jesus' return tell us about our identity?What joy comes from putting our identity in Jesus rather than anything else?What are some of the things that can distract us from Confessing Jesus? How can we take our re-found identity in Jesus, along with the full trust in Him, and proclaim this good news to people who may not be totally open to Christianity/Lutheranism? What does confessing Jesus look like in day-to-day life?In Chapter 4, in the section "Jesus Cares for You When You Die," Molly writes that "The dead do not appear to send us messages -- we don't even really know if the dead are aware of what is going on in our lives back here on earth. While their bodies slumber in the ground below, their souls are carried by the angels up to Christ, where they rest and are comforted..." My question is what is the Lutheran response to explaining people who claim to have received or experienced receiving a message from a deceased loved ones and hauntings with ghost sightings?When we struggle to remember the blessings of Jesus, what are some things that we can do to remind ourselves of all that He does for us?Why did Jesus do all of this? Why does that matter? About the GuestMolly Lackey is a wife, author, and church historian.

— “You are everything that is: your thoughts, your life, your dreams come true. You are everything you choose to be. You are as unlimited as the endless universe.” Learning to manage, control, and direct the resources of your own mind is the greatest opportunity you will ever have. ​Until recently we didn't even know the name of our greatest adversary––that wall which has confined us to the smallest part of what we could have been. The adversary has been us. It is the thoughts which we have thought. It is our own thinking which has created the limited self-portraits of who we believed ourselves to be. ​Our technology has given us the tools, and science has shown us the way. Our emerging understanding of our own human brain has pointed us in the right direction. We have learned that what we do, and what we do with us, is not an accidental happening. We have learned that who we are and what we are is the result of more than a chance combination of genetic inclinations. We have learned that what happens next––for each of us––is more up to us than we might have thought: it is up to what we think. ​Talk to yourself. Learn the words––the right words––and use them. Make your self-talk a positive, everyday, self-directing habit. Talk to yourself in a way that is kind, loving, caring, strong, demanding, and determined. Talk to yourself in the right way, every day. ​When you do, you will give yourself the greatest gift you will ever give. – writes Shad Helmstetter in “What To Say When You Talk To Your Self.” Valeria interviews Megan Barken  — She is an experienced Licensed Clinical Social Worker, providing therapy services in her mental health private practice in Saint Louis, Missouri.  She also works part-time at a prison re-entry community program called Concordance Academy, where she works with men and women getting out of prison and re-integrating into the community.  Driven by her passion to help and serve others, she takes great pride in utilizing a variety of different therapy interventions to create an individualized therapeutic approach to each client.  Megan's primary focus areas in therapy are depression, anxiety, trauma, substance use disorders and addiction, self esteem issues, women's issues, blended families, pre-marital and marital, and relationship issues.  Her clientele consists of teens, adults, and couples.

The Catholic church is facing increasing divisions and tensions that are also reflected in the country at large. Those divisions once again made headlines a few weeks ago when Georgia Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene spoke with Michael Voris of Church Militant about a range of topics. In the interview, both Voris and Greene were critical of the U.S. bishops welcome of immigrants. They also weaponized the scandal of the sexual abuse crisis to argue that the bishops had lost their moral authority.  Here to discuss this interview and what it says about polemics in the Catholic church is Bill McCormick, S.J., a contributing editor at America and a visiting assistant professor at Saint Louis University in the departments of political science and philosophy. “I think my primary impression was that this is a discourse of fear.” says McCormick, “There's a fear that if we try to help other people, we can't help ourselves, the fear that we can barely take care of our own families so how could we possibly take care of other families?”  These fears and scarcity mentality are driving much of the conversation, but McCormick adds, “That's not the gospel. You know, one of the most common lines in the gospel is have no fear.” Related Links: Marjorie Taylor Greene showed that the most brutal anti-Catholicism can come from Catholics Learn more about your ad choices.
