Liz, Rebecca, Alison and Monica discuss the “sleeper case” of the Supreme Court term which could upend prohibitions on government funding to religious schools. The lawyers break down the arguments from the case out of Maine, Carson v. Makin, and discuss ramifications and potential outcomes.

"The first three of these modes (literal, allegorical, and moral) were part of Christian tradition as expressed by Origen. St John Cassian (c. 360-435) added the fourth mode (anagogic) in 4th century.[4] His contemporary, St Augustine of Hippo (354-430) used the four fold interpretive method in his explanation of Christian doctrine, On Christian Doctrine. Due to the widespread popularity of "On Christian Doctrine" in the Middle Ages, the four fold method became the standard in Christian biblical exegesis of that period.[5] Literal interpretation: explanation of the meaning of events for historical purposes from a neutral perspective by trying to understand the text in the culture and time it was written, and location and language it was composed in. That is, since the 19th century, usually ascertained using the higher critical methods like source criticism and form criticism. In many modern seminaries and universities, the literal meaning is usually focused on to a nearly complete abandonment of the spiritual methods, as is very obvious when comparing commentary from a Douay Rheims or Confraternity or Knox Bible with a New Jerusalem, NRSV or NABRE.[6] Typological (or allegorical) interpretation: connecting the events of the Old Testament with the New Testament, particularly drawing allegorical connections between the events of Christ's life with the stories of the Old Testament. Also, a passage speaks directly to someone such as when Francis of Assisi heard the passage to sell all he had. It can also typologically point to the Blessed Virgin Mary, who is the ark which held the Word of God; Judith, who slew a tyrant is a Marian type; the burning bush, which contains the fire of God but was not consumed, as Mary held the Second Person of the Trinity in her womb but was not burnt up.[7] Tropological (or moral) interpretation: "the moral of the story," or how one should act now. Many of Jesus' parables and the Book of Proverbs and other wisdom books are packed with tropological meaning[8] Anagogic interpretation: dealing with the future events of Christian history (eschatology) as well as heaven, purgatory, hell, the last judgement, the General Resurrection and second Advent of Christ, etc. (prophecies).[9]" -Wikipedia "The Universe is my secular church. Secular church means all positive environments and all positive people. Secular church for me also means non-stop personal growth, non-stop healthy learning, and non-stop compassionate love. I am secular church to myself and others! I am unchurched in the religious sense and I am proud of it! I interpret all aspects of all religions allegorically including the languages" -Antonio Myers --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/antonio-myers4/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/antonio-myers4/support

Today please join us to learn from Kenneth Leonard who is joined by the exceptional Katy Montgomerie. They will both work with callers who try to present evidence for god. First caller is Ruth in CA who has a message for Christians: Get out of the way and let us be people. You are taking us back to the dark ages and are afraid of losing your evangelical followers. Kenneth reminds us that the incentive for elected officials is not always to do the right thing, but to take advantage of peop's rage against those who are different. Katy connects the dots between misogyny, the Bible, and the opposition to abortion. It is scary when people weaponize religion. Ruth finishes the call by thanking the hosts for providing an education for us.Dani in the UK asks Katy if it is easier to be trans in the UK than it is in the U.S. Katy informs us that most people are not wanting to take away trans rights and are not bigoted in the UK. She mentions that the U.S. has states with varying laws and attitudes regarding trans people. Even within states, things can vary and it is not even as simple as rural vs urban. Xeno from South Korea has scientific evidence for god. His evidence is mathematical and starts by asking the hosts to put a number on how much they know about the universe. Even if the hosts know virtually nothing, where is the evidence? Can we convict somebody of a crime by using evidence found with all the stuff that we don't know? Science is the best method we know of to explain what is true. If you have another way to show if something is true, then you need to demonstrate that. How do we know that a frog wizard with colors is not the something that was the beginning of your god?Special guest Clara, president of the UTSA Secular Student Alliance (SSA) in San Antonio is our last caller. She got involved with the SSA in 2016 by noticing the students with the table and attending meetings. She slowly learned more and has been president since 2019. This is an important group because there are over 25 religious groups on campus, but this is the only secular group. The SSA has been around since 2013 and is there to support non religious students when they need help getting out of religion. The best way to learn about the organization or support is through the website. Lots of guest speakers have visited such as Anthony Magnabosco who practiced street epistemology at the school for a number of years.

Jason Hartman welcomes Eric Basmajian, economic analyst and founder of EPB Macro Research. Jason and Eric discuss the rapid decline in real personal income and standard of living, how the rate shock will filter through to the housing market and much more. Eric also talks about the single most important variable to understand where the next 10 years of the real estate market are going and the four corners of an economy: income, consumption, employment and production. How far do our dollars actually go and how do we measure the standard of living in real terms? Eric looks for inflection points in long term economic cycles, what he calls secular economic trends, and cyclical trends to better position people for what's on the other side. We now have a rate shock being pushed onto the private sector which will cause a lot of problems as it filters through to the housing sector. So if you have no new home sales, or no new construction, and you have no existing home sales, how is that going to impact employment in the construction sector? How is that going to impact hours worked or hourly earnings in the construction sector? And as higher costs are being pushed onto the private sector, whether it's construction, food or gas prices, we're seeing a rapid decline in real personal income. Eric Basmajian is an economic analyst providing research on the most critical secular and cyclical economic trends impacting interest rates and asset prices.

We had the privilege of sitting down with Dr. David Zietsma, the President of Redeemer University, located in Hamilton, ON. We found this to be an encouraging discussion on the topic of Reformed Education at all levels and how that plays out in the lives of believers. We chat about the history of Redeemer, the idea of missional drift, how Redeemer is fighting that and how they are dealing with secular ideologies and teachings. We also cover why post-secondary Christian education is important and why it possibly should be a consideration for every prospective student. We hope you enjoy listening in to this conversation. Please share it with any students, parents or individuals that might benefit from it and be sure to let us know what you think!   0:00 - Introduction 04:00 - The History 07:50 - The Cross and our Calling - Maintaining the Mission 10:20 - Reformed Education & Redeemer 18:30 - Facing Pressure 28:00 - Institutional Structure 35:00 - Secular vs multi-denominational education 50:03 - Dealing with secular ideologies/movements 1:20:00 - Purpose of Christian post-secondary   A BIG THANKS TO OUR SPONSOR THIS WEEK, KING ALFRED ACADEMY!

Welcome to another episode of The Atheist Experience. This week, Matt Dillahunty is joined by Forrest Valkai!First up is John from Georgia, who has been asked by others in their community the classic question, “If we came from monkeys, why are there still monkeys?” The caller wants to know if our hosts have a better response to that question than they do.Next up is John from CO who is wondering how Matt could have possibly lost faith when the truth of the Bible is apparently as obvious as math.Dan from FL believes that abortions are murders and that there should be a penalty for those who get one.Joseph from the UK believes that mathematics provides evidence for a creator through the use of probability calculation.Next up is Tony from CA, who is wondering if biological evolution has any connections to societal evolution and the widespread tribalistic polarization we see today?Next is John from the UK who engaged a creationist on a forum, and has questions for our hosts regarding abiogenesis and the origins of life in the universe.Our final caller is Ashton from CA who is wondering if our hosts still hold out hope for evidence and quality arguments after all these years of running the show?

11th chapter: verses 29, 48, 54, 5529th verse: “As moths rush towards a blazing fire only to perish, so also all of us are rushing towards Your mouth only to perish.”32nd verse: “I am the mighty, all-consuming time. “To those who look upon the world as a place for sensual pleasures, the world is like a blazing fire, and they are like moths rushing towards it. But when we have a higher spiritual goal that guides our actions, then we start moving towards our true spiritual destination. Upon reaching it, we realize our immortal dimension as the Atman. We realize that the same Atman exists in all of us.Upon that highest realization, we see the presence of God within and outside the place of worship. We can spiritualize our everyday activities – our whole life becomes a spiritual sacrament.In the 41st verse of the 10th chapter, Lord Krishna says: “Wherever you find some greatness, prosperity, power or excellence – know that to be a part of My splendor.”Wherever we find a unique manifestation that is sublime and beautiful, it is an expression of the divine reality. In whatever profession one may be, if that person reaches a level of transcendental excellence – that perfection is a spark of the divinity within him. When the scholarship of a scholar is combined with sattvic nature such as humility, or the power of a person is combined with wisdom and maturity – then it becomes an expression of the divine.This divinity is immanent within us. We can manifest this divinity by practicing karma yoga, bhakti yoga or other yogas. When we do our actions with a sense of sanctity and sacredness and with an unselfish attitude, then it becomes a spiritual action. The line of demarcation between secular and spiritual vanishes.48th verse: “The highest truth cannot be realized just by scholarship.” Theology or philosophy is not a substitute for one's own spiritual experience and realization. When we realize the presence of the divine, a transformation comes upon us. We feel inner contentment. We become broad-minded and a better human being. We see God in everything and everything in God.In the Bhagavata Purana, there is a dialogue between King Nimi and the Nava Yogis. In answer to the King's question: “Who is an ideal devotee of God?”, one of the sages gives the following answer: “The one who sees the presence of God in all beings, and who sees the presence of all beings in God. “ 55th verse: “You should do everything as offering to Me (mat-karma-kṛit). You should consider Me as the supreme goal in life (mat-paramaḥ). You should be devoted to Me (mat-bhaktaḥ). You should be free from obsessive attachment ( saṅga-varjitaḥ). You should look upon the whole creation as one spiritual family, without malice towards anyone (nirvairaḥ sarva-bhūteṣhu). Then you will certainly come to Me.”The attitude with which one does the action determines whether he is a spiritual action. A priest's worship may be mechanical as a duty. On the other hand, a soldier may do his duty as an act of worship. When we do our actions with a sense of sanctity, sacredness, unselfishness and without obsessive attachment to results, then it becomes an act of worship. Our journey starts with “Work and worship, evolves to “Work as worship” and culminates in “Everything is worship.” Then all secular activities are spiritualized.Prapatti is the highest state of a devotee of God. Prapatti means complete surrender and is composed of the following characteristics. (1) Always having a positive outlook in life, full of sattvic qualities such as serenity, wisdom, compassion, and broad mindedness. (2) Rejecting all the opposing qualities such as skepticism and self-doubt. (3) Strong faith that God will protect me. (4) Total self-surrender. When we surrender, we feel a huge weight has been lifted from our shoulders.Only a person who follows the principles of Satyam, Ritm and Dharma can be spiritual. He looks upon the entire creation as one spiritual family.Satyam means truth. A person will not deviate from the path of harmony if he practices truthfulness.Ritm is the central principle of inherent harmony that exists in nature.Dharma refers to the ethical and moral principles through which one practices Satyam. For example, it is immoral to pollute the earth and therefore against Dharma.Vedic mantras emphasize harmony and balance of nature. Let the earth, clouds, skies, plants, trees and the entire cosmos remain pure, undisturbed, and in perpetual peace and harmony.54th verse is the prelude to the 12th chapter. Lord Krishna says: “You can understand My true nature only by true, single minded devotion.”Thus, ends the 11th chapter of the Bhagavad Gita, which contains the essence of all scriptures.

It's time to discuss religion, because it's no longer just knocking on our door. Sam Alito shoved it in the house with a no-knock warrant along with stun grenades that threaten to catch the place on fire!..

Summary:  In this episode I discuss the crucial role of the right kinds of corrective and healing experiences in our lives.  I then offer you three inner experiential exercises to help you understand three questions: 1) In what ways do you not love yourself (with a special focus on inner critics); 2) your inner tension between connection and protection; and 3) your internal battles with rigidity and chaos. Lead in:   Experience.   I have been wanting for a long time to offer you some experiential exercises  In episodes 89, 90, and 92, I gave you a lot of conceptual information about polyvagal theory, about interpersonal neurobiology, some more about Internal family systems, but something has been missing And what's been missing, in my opinion, is the experiential part of this for us.   Julius Caesar "Experience is the teacher of all things"  De Bello Civilli John Stuart Mill:  There are many truths of which the full meaning cannot be realized until personal experience has brought it home.  -- On liberty Experience.  There is no substitute for experiential learning Otherwise it can stay all in the conceptual realm, all in your head, all in your mind.  Michael Smith:  The major problem is that we tend to live our life in our head, in our thoughts and stories, cut off from our actual experience. What I want for you is much more than that.  I want you to be able to change for the better in the deepest ways.  And you can't think or study your way there Not the same experiences over and over -- some people have that kind of life.   Rather, a capacity for experience -- the ability to take in, process, and integrate new experiences as part of your human formation.   George Bernard Shaw:  Men are wise in proportion, not to their experience, but to their capacity for experience. What holds us back? Many would say fear.  Fear of the unknown.  Fear of putting ourselves out there.  Fear keeps us from new experiences and for the corrective effects of new experiences.  And I think that's true.  But I don't think fear is the primary obstacle.  There's some thing deeper than fear that holds us back.   What is it that really holds us back from new experiences?  What goes deeper than our fear?  [Drum roll] Our Shame.  It is our shame that holds us back from new experiences and the healing that new experiences can bring to us. The fear is a secondary reaction.  We wouldn't have the fear if we didn't have the shame, the gnawing sense of inadequacy or not being good enough.  Too much shame makes us fragile, way to concerned about protecting ourselves And in the natural realm, it's shame that most often keeps us from taking in the love from God, from others, and from ourselves -- it's shame that generates our fear, the desire to protect our wounds, that shuts us off from ourselves and other people Shame generates fear -- fear fuels our self-protection and shuts down the openness to experience.  The shame to fear to self-protection progression builds walls around our hearts.  We see vulnerability as dangerous.  Brené Brown, Daring Greatly  Vulnerability is the core, the heart, the center, of meaningful human experiences.   Shame is so important, I spent 13 episodes of this podcast just on that one topic.  Those 13 episodes, episodes 37 to 49 on it Those episodes on shame are foundational -- they are the most fundamental episodes of this podcast.  So many of our problem go back to shame, and nearly all psychological dysfunction in the natural realm has its root and origin in shame.   If you haven't listened to those episodes, or if it's been a long time, go back and listen to them.   So now, in this episode, I am bringing to you the kinds of experiential exercises, the kind of experiential learning that can help you understand yourself so much better and get you started toward a more solid natural foundation for your spiritual life, much better human formation. And what I want for you most of all is for you to experience love.  To be able to receive love -- to receive love from others, from yourself, from God.  And to love.  To join those men and women who are on an adventure of love 1 John 4:18 There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear.  How does it do that?  How does perfect love cast out fear -- does it just numb fear while leaving your shame intact?  No, I really don't think that's how it works for me and you.  Love is the antidote for shame.  Love cures shame.  Three kinds of love.   Love from God Love from others, including the saints, especially our Mother Mary Love from ourselves to ourselves.   I invite you to join me on this great adventure of loving, especially in this episode, right now, this episode number 93 of this podcast, Interior Integration for Catholics, let us journey together I am Dr. Peter Malinoski, clinical psychologist and passionate Catholic and together, we can have the relational encounters we need to learn to be loved and to love.    Interior Integration for Catholics is part of our broader outreach, Souls and Hearts.  Souls and Hearts brings you the best of psychology and human formation grounded in a Catholic understanding of the human person to you and the rest of the world through our website soulsandhearts.com We are continuing our series on how the best of secular psychological approaches define mental health, psychological well-being.  We started with Episode 89 on Polyvagal Theory and covered Positive Psychology, Psychodynamic Psychotherapy and Internal Family Systems in Episode 90.   Today's episode, number 93 is entitled "Three Experiential Exercisesx"  and it's released on May 2, 2022 and today, I am offering you Three longer experiential exercises today, about 20 minutes each Informed by IFS -- can check out episode 71 of this podcast to find out more about IFS -- A new and better way of understanding yourself and others.  Great preparation for these exercises.  Grounded in a Catholic understanding of the human person Three experiential exercises  In what ways do you not love yourself? -- where are the gaps in your human formation?  What parts of you are going unloved by you? -- Episode 90 Your Well-being, the Secular experts speak   Your inner battle: Protection vs. Connection -- Episode 89 Your Trauma, Your Body: Protection vs. Connection Rigidity and Chaos -- episode 92 Understanding and Healing your Mind through IPNB Overall guidelines for these exercises  Cautions  window of tolerance Upside -- Fight or flight, sympathetic activation  Downside -- Free response -- dorsal vagal activation, shutting down, numbing out,  don't have to do this exercise, can stop at any time, reground yourself  no steamrolling parts  Also bringing in God from a Catholic perspective, which may activate some parts in some people.  Good to do this exercise when you have the time and space and privacy -- not while driving or engaging in other activities that would require you to divide your attention.   Options Take what is useful to you   Feel free to go your own direction if that seems what's best There will be some quiet moments in the exercises to give you time to do your inner work.  If it's helpful, feel free to pause the audio and really settle in and do extended work inside if that seems best Can have pens, pencils and paper to write down things that are helpful -- like a journal -- or to map out things, draw if that's helpful.  Can do these exercises multiple times, with different parts A lot of gentleness with and for yourself.  Moment here for your to really care for yourself, to really see what your parts need from you.   Luke 10:27 Love your neighbor as yourself -- we are supposed to love ourselves in an ordered way And that means loving the parts of ourself that are in need.  With care and compassion If you get distracted, that's ok, that's common.  You can just refocus, or if that's not possible, then focus in on that distraction -- get curious about why a part of you needs to distract you.   Experiential Exercise 1 --In what ways do you reject yourself, or condemn yourself as a person?  In what ways do you not love yourself?   A part of you finds it hard to love or even accept some other part of you.  That's true for almost everybody, in our fallen world.  Leads to inner conflict You can't delegate that responsibility of loving yourself to anyone else.  No one else, not even God, can take your place in loving yourself.   Working on the natural realm here.  We're not focusing on unloved parts yet.  We are asking that parts that bear the burden of shame -- our shame bearers, can they be patient, to not flood or overwhelm.   As you ask that question, In what ways do you reject yourself, or condemn yourself as a person?   What part of you is doing that -- an inner critic? What is happening in your body? In response to that question. How am I rejecting or condemning myself. Find the bodily response Focus in on that bodily response.  We call that a trailhead. Connected with your inner critic.   Might not be a bodily response.  Could be other trailheads Images, thoughts, desires, impulses, memories, sounds, beliefs or assumptions -- any internal  experience in response to the question -- what do I need.   Focus in on that one sensation or inner experience that reflects some kind of self-condemnation or negative judgement of yourself as a person..     Fleshing out  Listen in to what that experience, that body sensation or that impulse or desire or image or memory or belief. Really notice that inner critic.  How do you experience it.     Let's see if we can work with one part at a time.  You can do this reflection and guided exercise over again with multiple parts if you'd like.  But see if your parts inside can agree to let you work with one part.   We are going to ask that one part not to flood you with its intensity.  That's a safety thing.  We are asking that part not to overwhelm you with its distress.  We want to be separate but near, so that you as the self can have a relationship with that part.  If your target part fuses with you or blends with you, you can't have a relationship.  See if that part will agree not to overwhelm.  Just ask it.  See what the response is.  If it agrees, then Really sense that part.  See that part or sense that part, however that part is becoming more apparent to you.  How old is that part?  Some parts of us are very, very young.  Even preverbal.   Really listen to what that target parts wants to share with you, what it wants you to know.   How are you feeling toward that part, toward that experience  C's Compassion  Connection  Curiosity -- genuine interest  Calm   If feeling negative, can we get concerned protector parts to soften, to relax back so that you, as the self, can connect with your distressed target part?  If not, focus on the concerned protector part.  Really get interested about why that part is not ready to let you connect with your target part.  There's a reason.  Parts always have good intentions for us.   Befriending Let that part tell you all about what it struggles with.   Emotions Anxiety  Sorrow -- deep emotional pain  Anger  Numbness   Thinking -- assumptions, beliefs Really be open to these beliefs, asking protectors not to censor them if possible.  Concentration issues.   Behaviors -- why does the part do what it does Positive intentions Spiritual and existential issues What does this part need from you? What does this part need from God? Fears What if it doesn't do this job.   Does it know that you exist -- that it doesn't have to pursue an agenda.  Where are you with: Compassion  Connectedness  Curiosity  Calm   Can the part feel love from you?   Winding up Can write down what you learned, what was helpful, what came to you -- giving your parts a voice on paper.   Can do this exercise again with a different part  Gratitude for all your parts -- all have good intentions are trying to help  This doesn't have to be the end of connecting with your target part -- doesn't have to be a one-off experience, can check in with that part again.  Experiential Exercise 2 -- Protection vs. Connection -- based off of polyvagal theory.  Episode 89 ANS heavily involved in the ongoing weighing of two fundamental human needs -- two major objectives.   To survive -- Protection To bond relationally with others -- Connection This is the central theme of this discussion of our bodies and our traumas -- Protection and Connection.  How can we have both?   We have on the one hand a drive to survive -- cause if we don't, you know, we're dead.  On the other hand, we have this yearning to connect, to be in relationship with others  We need both -- to be protected and to be connected, but trauma puts those two indispensable needs -- protection and connection into tension.  Can't have both.   If we are experiencing trauma, our ANS automatically moves us away from seeking connection with others to a position of protection.  In the state of protection -- we are seeking only survival.  Our nervous system is closed to connection with others.  It is closed to change.  There's only one goal.  Survive.  If we don't survive, nothing else is possible.  When we are in a state of protection, it's all about one that one thing: survival.  Nothing else matters.   However, when we are in a state of connection, we have so many more possibilities Health  Growth  Restoration  Change   Coming at this a different way  Going inside   Major question -- which parts of me are protecting -- my protectors in IFS Managers -- protecting proactively  Firefighters -- protecting reactively  Protecting exiles and protecting against exile   Experiential Exercise 3 -- Rigidity vs. Chaos -- Episode 92  When a system is not optimally self-organizing, it veers toward  Rigidity -- everything seems predictable  Dorsal vagal shutdown, the freezing and numbing out state like in dissociation we discussed this in Episode 89 on polyvagal theory  This leads to rigidity   Examples  Extreme example would be hysterical paralysis Another example --  a deep, major depression Chaos -- everything seems completely unpredictable  PTSD symptoms Flashbacks  Nightmares   Panic attacks   Or both -- e.g. bipolar disorder Depressive episode -- rigidity.   Manic episode -- chaos Daniel Siegel:  Every symptom of every disorder of the DSM-5 can be framed in terms of chaos or rigidity "Human suffering can be summed up in chaos and rigidity."   Health is found in the internal integration, where there is neither chaos nor rigidity.   When do I feel rigid  When do I feel chaotic  Rigidity is often a protector's response against chaos.   If you really understand the important of experience -- of experiencing change, not just thinking about it, not just considering it, but really experiencing it throughout your being, I have an invitation for you.   If you really responded to these experiential exercises, I have an invitation for you I want to invite you to the Resilient Catholics Community -- the RCC There is nothing else really like it out there All about being loved and loving with your whole hear -- all of your being, every fiber of who you are, all your parts.   It's all about resolving the human formation issues that have thwarted your capacity to be loved and to love.  To be vulnerable, to be connected rather than protecting yourself so much.  All about restoration -- recovering from being dominated by shame, fear, anger, sadness, pessimism, whatever your struggle is in the depths of your human formation   And we do this work experientially -- so many experiential exercises, more than 100 of them for you, you can't get these reflections and guidance anywhere else. Informed by Internal Family Systems and the best of the rest of psychological resources  All grounded in a Catholic understanding of the human person  All focused on helping you to better accept love and to love more fully, to carry out the two great commandments of our Lord.   The RCC is a serious commitment -- the whole first year is just that -- a year-long experience of 44 weekly company meetings with those who will be accompanying you on a pilgrimage to much better human formation. On that pilgrimage you have a companion to journey with and for daily connection.   Are you up for the challenge?  Would you like to join me and the rest of the pioneers in this adventure?  Do you want to be a part of the community?   Are you ready to prevail over whatever hinders your human formation -- would you like to no longer be dominated by fear, anger, shame, sadness, pessimism?  And would you like to be with other like-minded Catholics on the journey -- If so join me.  Join all of us in the Resilient Catholics Community.  The RCC We are taking applications throughout June of 2022 for our third cohort, those in that cohort will start their adventure in June and July by taking our Initial Measures Kits and be getting feedback on their parts in a personal Zoom session with me.  It's a great chance for us to get to know each other, really know each other at the level of parts.  You'll get a 5 or 6 page report on your internal system and then be eligible for our weekly company meetings and programming to begin in late August or early September.   Sign up  for the June waiting list -- Souls and Hearts.com/rcc -- or just do an internet search for the Resilient Catholics Community.   Not ready for that yet?  Sign up for my email reflections every week at soulsandhearts.com -- addressing the topic of lying and deception in this current series.  Every Wednesday.   Patronness and Patron

In Today's Secular Uncertainties, God is Sovereign; and God “the Most High rules the kingdom of men and gives it to whom he {God} will” MESSAGE SUMMARY: Political discord and health care uncertainties surround us in all directions today. Without Jesus in our lives, we have reasons to be anxious and fearful. However, Jesus tells us in Matthew 6:31: “Therefore, do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself.”. The future years may hurt our pride, wallets, and/or our freedom. On the other hand, we should not let the current secular political environment and culture hinder our resolve to continue in our fearless faith in the truth; our constant hope in the future; and our radical love for our neighbors. God has a plan; and, regardless of how things look from our eyes, we must remain faithful to His purpose. Now is the time to draw near to Jesus and to advance His Kingdom. Our gaze must remain on Jesus if we want to walk on the water during the storm. God is the King of Kings and the Sovereign God of the Universe. As Daniel interpreted King Nebuchadnezzar's dream in Daniel 4:17 when God told Nebuchadnezzar: “to the end that the living may know that the Most High {God} rules the kingdom of men and gives it to whom he {God} will and sets over it the lowliest of men.”. God is always involved in our lives, and He gives the government offices “to whom he will”, even if the political processes produce “the lowliest of men {or women}”. Sometimes, we receive the elected officials we need, and sometimes we receive the elected officials that we deserve; but God is always Sovereign and faithful.   TODAY'S PRAYER: Father, I confess that when difficulties and trials come into my life, large or small, I mostly grumble and complain. I realize the trials James talks about are not necessarily “walls,” but they are difficult to bear, nonetheless. Fill me with such a vision of a transformed life, O God, that I might actually consider it “pure joy” when you bring trials my way. I believe, Lord. Help my unbelief. In Jesus' name, amen. Scazzero, Peter. Emotionally Healthy Spirituality Day by Day (p. 94). Zondervan. Kindle Edition. TODAY'S AFFIRMATION: Today, I affirm that, because I am in Jesus Christ, I will not be anxious. (Philippians 4:6f). “I can do everything through Him who gives me strength.”. (Philippians 4:14). SCRIPTURE REFERENCE (ESV): Matthew 6:31; Philippians 4:5-7; Daniel 4:17; Psalms 106c:25-36.

This guided meditation takes us through different ways of observing the mind, first examining its ever-present parts: perception, feeling, will, and awareness. Then we explore the nature of subjective reality itself by asking what is the mind without thoughts? Where is the space of our consciousness? And, how finely can we slice moments of consciousness? Do we ever arrive at a quantum of consciousness?Episode 7. Guided Meditation: What Is the Mind?Two years ago, we created A Skeptic's Path to Enlightenment to share the rich tradition of Tibetan Buddhist analytical meditation in a form that requires no belief beyond what science currently accepts. The first 40 episodes of the podcast gradually go through all of these topics, in order, beginning with appreciating the gift of our life and our place in the universe, and gradually moving up to cultivating boundless compassion for all beings and understanding the ultimate nature of our inner and outer realities. Over the next year, interspersed with new interviews, we are re-releasing updated versions of these topics.Support the show (https://www.skepticspath.org/support/)

Welcome to another episode of the Atheist experience! This week, Jim Barrows is joined by Forrest Valkai!First up is Alex from Israel who wants to talk about lucid dreaming and its possible naturalistic explanatory power for out of body & near death experiences.Next is Nate from CA who identifies as an atheist, but takes a 50/50 confidence stance on the true/false claim that a God exists.Next is Brett from MO who asks us if Atheism is an objective position or subjective?Up next is Matthew from SC who doesn't understand what makes someone biologically transgender, versus someone just “choosing” to identify as a sex they weren't born as.Next up is Theodore from PA who reasons that after death, our consciousness continues onward via the consciousness of others. So is consciousness like an organic version of distributed computing?Next up is Jay from TX who claims to have had a near death experience, and believes it to be evidence of the afterlife.Finally, Jay from MO is calling in to present the standard “it's just a theory” gish gallop. The call comes with such great quotes like “Life can't come from nothing,” and “Where does electricity come from?”

Greetings Heathens! We hope to be a sanctuary for you in this chaotic world. In today's episode of Talk Heathen, JMike is joined by Kenneth Leonard. The gauntlet has been thrown folks, if you have a case that proves sin is a thing and should be a part of our morality, call the show and ask for Kenneth.Let's get to calls! Dominic from California would like to prove there is a higher power through a series of convoluted premises. Can science prove intrinsic purpose, JMike asks him. How is this different from debunkable pseudoscience? Dominic goes on to claim that he knows God exists 100%! JMike respods, can you give justification for this God you think is true.Richard in New Hampshire is up next, he is wondering about the age old question of what makes someone who they are, nature vs. nurture? If only Shannon Q was here to chat about this, but Kenneth does his very best to talk about his perspective on it.Returning caller Kevin in New York, (Yes THAT Kevin!) would like to talk about Jesus' resurrection. Oooooh, the topic of the day! Definitely seems like the same old Kevin though, and definitely was hoping he'd be further along with deconstructing his faith, but alas, he returns with the same questions about faith and the Bible. He does believe that the resurrection of Jesus did in fact happen. But why Kevin? Waiting for the Apocrypha to be mentioned… and he does imply it (and Kenneth mentions it) at 1:32:58. BINGO!That's our show for this week, please continue to be safe in your area, wear your mask, and please please PLEASE get vaccinated if you can. The world is better with you in it. See you next week!

The Non-Prophets, Episode 21.16 airing Sunday, April 17 2022 featuring Secular Rarity, Kelley and Mateo AteoHappy zombie Jesus Day! The showers have fallen and spring has sprung. That means that your faithless Non-Prophets are stomping through the puddles of yellow journalism to bring you the hardest hitting news story… Hmmm should have phrased that better.This week it is all about Operation Blitz. What it is, some examples, and how it is going to affect the lives of not just the faithless, but of all peoples. Including the ones it is trying to “help”. With our new segment The Blitz Report we hope to bring you more of these pushes to put religion into government. We also look into a step in the right direction where an Alabama school district has ended school mandated prayer before each game. Or was it? Yes, but maybe no! This is likely going to be a dirty fight to go on for ages!See you next time![03:34] Segment 1 - The Jesus Movement https://www.schwartzreport.net/2022/0...[26:17] Segment 2 - BLITZ REPORT - What is Operation Blitz?http://tiny.cc/firstblitzreport[47:11] Segment 3 - CA GOP Secretary of State Candidate Rachel Hamm Wants to ‘Make It Hard' for People to Vote http://tiny.cc/hammingitup[1:06:48] Segment 4 - SITRD - No more prayer before football in AL http://tiny.cc/noprayerfootballhttp://tiny.cc/noprayerfbstatementhttp://tiny.cc/noprayerfbplottwist
