Podcasts about secular

Instead of discarding concepts like evil or the devil, the West has reconstituted a secular version in the person of Adolf Hitler and the ideology of fascism. One does not debate the devil, one slays the devil, and the same is true of the fascist. This is why the Left is now calling basic conservative ideas fascist, because leftists are laying out the justification for political violence.

On September 27th, 2025, from the Lord Elgin Hotel in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, the 2025 version of the Secular Ontario Alcoholics Anonymous Roundup featured a day of panels, speakers, discussions, food, and fellowship. Some of us wouldn't have come to AA if there weren't a secular group to go to - it's vulnerable enough to face our alcohol use issues, secular AA was the only way we felt safe salvaging and honouring our worldview while we faced a drinking problem. Other members didn't find secular AA until they were sober and in the closet for many years. Every journey differs.

This podcast episode centers around an enlightening conversation with Pastor Shawn Galyen, who brings forth his extensive experience in engaging with individuals possessing a secular worldview. Shawn emphasizes the necessity of understanding secularism as a distinct perspective, one that does not inherently stem from a rejection of faith but rather arises from a cultural context where the notion of God is not central to one's existence. Throughout our dialogue, he articulates the implications of this worldview on how secular individuals perceive God, the church, and the gospel, highlighting the often vague and ambiguous nature of their understanding. We explore the importance of approaching these discussions with compassion, recognizing the uniqueness of each secular individual, and the need for Christians to effectively communicate their faith without alienation. Ultimately, this episode serves as a guide for engaging meaningfully with those who may not share our beliefs, fostering relationships grounded in understanding and respect.Takeaways: This episode explores the nuances of secular worldviews and their implications for Christians. Understanding secularism is crucial for effectively engaging with those who do not share our faith. Pastor Shawn Galyen emphasizes the importance of modeling love and compassion in secular contexts. As parents, we have a responsibility to navigate relationships with secular individuals and teach our children to do the same. Secular people often lack a clear understanding of God, making our approach to evangelism vital. The conversation highlights the necessity of building genuine relationships with secular individuals to foster understanding.

Stijn Schmitz welcomes Michael Gentile to the show. Michael Gentile is Strategic Investor & Co-Founder, Bastion Asset Management. With a background in finance and commodities, Gentile has developed a unique investment approach in the junior mining sector, combining value investing principles with a contrarian perspective. Gentile's investment strategy is rooted in identifying inefficient market opportunities, particularly in junior resource stocks. He focuses on companies with potential to become mines, looking for key attributes such as grade, scale, infrastructure, and management ownership. His approach involves making initial small investments (around 1% of capital) in companies with promising geological prospects, with the potential to increase stakes as companies demonstrate successful execution. The investor sees the current commodity cycle, particularly in gold, as being in its early stages. He believes we are entering a period of monetary devaluation, drawing parallels to the 1970s economic environment. Gentile argues that the unprecedented levels of government debt and the challenges of managing interest rates create a favorable backdrop for gold and other hard assets. His due diligence process is comprehensive, examining factors like drilling efficiency, management ownership, and jurisdictional risks. Unlike many investors, he prefers 100% ownership of projects and is cautious about joint ventures or royalty companies. Gentile looks for companies with the potential to become significant producers, focusing on the valuation and future potential of investments. Gentile's investment philosophy emphasizes long-term thinking, often holding investments for 3-10 years and looking for opportunities where he can potentially make 20-50 times his initial investment. He is currently most bullish on gold, with secondary interest in copper and a watchful eye on oil. As part of his commitment to sharing knowledge, Gentile is planning a European road show in October, bringing six of his key mining investments to meet potential investors across five cities, offering insights into his investment approach and the junior mining sector.

What does it mean to call something sacred in a world that feels increasingly chaotic? Emily Austin sits down with writer and theologian Femi Olutade—a Nigerian-American Millennial, husband, father, hip-hop head, and follower of Jesus in the Eastern Orthodox tradition—to wrestle with the idea of holiness. Femi is best known as the lead writer for the acclaimed Dissect Podcast season on Kendrick Lamar's DAMN. and for his thoughtful essays on spirituality, culture, and history on Medium.Their conversation starts with a reflection on power, using The Lord of the Rings as a jumping-off point: who should hold the ring, and what happens when they do? From there, Emily and Femi trace the ways holiness has been understood across different traditions—evangelical, charismatic, liturgical, and Orthodox—and how each has shaped their lives. They talk about fasting and Lent as tools for clarity, why the Desert Mothers and Fathers still speak to us today, and what it means to see God's presence not only in church but also in the ordinary rhythms of life.In Memphis? Don't miss Femi's Barth House Theological Society Fall Lecture: Sacred, Secular, Syncopated: Theology & the Music of Kendrick Lamar on Thursday, November 6, 2025, at 7 p.m. in Memphis.

In this podcast episode, Dr. Michael Thiessen, Pastor Nate Wright, and Dr. Joe Boot discuss the implications of Charlie Kirk's death and the church's response to it. They express concern over the reluctance of many church leaders to acknowledge Kirk's martyrdom and the broader cultural implications of this silence. The conversation delves into the truncation of the gospel, the political nature of the Christian message, and the need for the church to engage with cultural issues rather than retreating into silence.

If you've listened to the radio lately, perhaps you've noticed that pop music is sounding a lot like worship music. Some of the year's most popular songs use biblical imagery, emotive builds, and vocal choirs—not unlike what you might hear in church. On this week's episode, we discuss a recent article that traces this trend. We explore why music producers are mimicking worship music and what it suggests about our cultural moment.Chapters:(0:00) Introductions: Myrtle & Cypress(3:21) Is "Secular Praise Music" Even a Thing?(13:24) What's Driving the Change in Pop Music(19:03) What Music Says About Our Collective Longings(30:05) We Can Worship Even When Songs Are Hard to SingArticle:https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/music/article/everyone-is-listening-to-secular-praise-music-yes-even-you-110058855.html

“I think that bringing children into the world is like bringing holiness into the world.” - Catherine Pakaluk   Summary In this episode, Mike and Alicia sit down with Catherine Pakaluk, economist and author of Hannah's Children, to challenge common cultural myths about large families. Secular researchers often assume religious women have many children because they are oppressed, but Catherine explains why this is far from true. Instead, faith gives parents the conviction that children are a blessing and the true good of marriage. Struggles, dysfunction, or finances exist in every family, regardless of size—yet joy comes from embracing life, not avoiding it. Mothers discover their fullest potential through their children, and their joy isn't tied to public opinion or material resources. Parenthood is priceless, a long-term collaboration with God, who always gives grace when we say yes to Him.   Key Takeaways Secular researchers assume that religious women have many children because they are oppressed.  This is a myth.  A conviction formed by faith that children are a good of marriage is not irrational.  Religious women often are more open to children because they see children as a blessing and their “yes” is an assent to receiving those blessings from God. Many people use their dysfunctions and struggles as an excuse to not have more children, but the reality is that those issues are present regardless of the number of children you have.  Mothers achieve their full potential through their children.  Most mothers of large families don't care what people say because their joy doesn't come from that anyway.  Financial incentives to have children don't work because most parents don't need more material resources to have more children. Parenting is so valuable that money can't buy it.  It is priceless.  Mothers should never focus on “being done”.  Embrace your fertility and God will give you the grace when you need it. This is a long-term collaboration with the Lord.    Couple Discussion Questions Do we talk about “being done”?  Or do we talk about “getting started”?   Do we see children as a blessing?  Do we want more blessings in our lives right now?  Resources Buy the book on Amazon:  https://a.co/d/gEGkjEy  

Ned Davis Research's Chief Global Investment Strategist Tim Hayes joins us to break down NDR's “360°” weight-of-the-evidence framework—how price, breadth, sentiment, macro and valuation fit together—and what those signals are saying right now. We dig into why he still classifies this as a secular bull market with rising secular-bear risks, how to separate real breadth thrusts from dead-cat bounces, the evolving bond/equity correlation, mega-cap concentration risk, the case for value/EM in a defensively rotating tape, and why gold's secular and cyclical trends remain compelling.

Words matter. YOUR words matter.From political rhetoric to everyday profanity, our words reveal more about our hearts than we often realize. Even secular think tanks like Third Way understand the power of language to influence. If words matter that much in politics, how much more do they matter in our walk with Jesus?In this episode of the God is the Issue Podcast, Brad Bright asks a hard question: Are you a Christian In Name Only (ChINO)?

Wall Street veteran Jim Welsh of MacroTides joins Kerry Lutz to break down why the markets are approaching a secular bear market and why most investors won't be ready. Jim takes a critical look at the flaws in the Bureau of Labor Statistics' employment data, exposing how reliance on outdated models has led to inflated job numbers and misleading headlines. He also explains why revisions matter more than initial reports when gauging the real economy. From GDP distortions to speculative excess in options trading, Jim lays out the warning signs of deeper trouble ahead. Drawing on Warren Buffett's $347 billion cash position, he highlights why even seasoned investors are bracing for turbulence. The discussion also explores weakening consumer trends, challenges in commercial real estate, and why gold, silver, and long-term treasury yields are shaping up to be key indicators for what's next.

In this episode, Noah reflects on the heaviness of living in a world filled with violence, hatred, and suffering. From school shootings to war and personal experiences of pain, he explores the Buddhist teaching of the three poisons: ignorance, greed, and hatred, and how they manifest both globally and within our own hearts.Through stories, analogies, and practical practices, Noah reminds us that peace is not created from the top down but from the inside out. By transforming our own inner war with wisdom, gratitude, and loving-kindness, we ripple peace outward into our families, communities, and ultimately the world.If you've ever wondered what it means to “end the war within” and how small choices can make a big difference, this episode offers clarity, compassion, and concrete tools to begin cultivating peace, one moment, one choice, one heart at a time.

What if your work isn't just a job—but part of God's bigger story for your life?For some, work is a source of stress, struggle, or simply something to endure. But what if we're seeing it all wrong? What if God designed work to be a vital part of how we worship Him and serve others? Dr. Tom Nelson joins us today to talk about that. Dr. Tom Nelson is the President of Made to Flourish and has served as the Senior Pastor of Christ Community Church, a multi-site congregation across Kansas City, for over 30 years. He is also the author of Why Your Work Matters: How God Uses Our Everyday Vocations to Transform Us, Our Neighbors, and the World.False Narratives About WorkCulture tells us many things about work—most of them untrue.“Thank God it's Friday” reflects the belief that work is a curse and that our real lives happen only on weekends.Work as mere productivity reduces our calling to a paycheck or to-do list.Sacred vs. secular divide suggests ministry work matters more than other vocations.However, if we return to Genesis 1 and 2, we find that work is not a curse. Work is God's good design. Whether paid or unpaid, our work is part of how we glorify Him.The Four-Chapter Story of WorkDr. Tom Nelson uses a “four-chapter” framework to show how the Bible shapes a proper view of work:Creation – What Ought to Be. God designed work as a gift and a reflection of His image. Work and worship were never meant to be separate.The Fall – What Is. Sin corrupted work, introducing toil, frustration, and broken relationships.Redemption – What Can Be. Through Christ, our work can be redeemed. Whether changing diapers, leading a company, or volunteering, we bring God's presence into every environment.New Creation – What Will Be. One day, we will experience work in its perfect form—creative, joyful, and without sin—in God's restored Kingdom.One of the most transformative ideas to remember is that all work done for God's glory is sacred. Work is contribution, not just compensation. We carry God's presence with us into our workplaces because the Holy Spirit dwells within us.This perspective breaks down the artificial barrier between “spiritual” and “secular” work. It gives believers a seamless life of worship—Sunday through Monday.Hope for the FutureWe won't spend eternity sitting on clouds. Revelation offers us a glimpse of a garden city where we will worship Jesus and engage in creative, joyful work—free from sin, frustration, and the need for perfect relationships with God and others.If you've believed that your work doesn't matter, be encouraged that you were created with work in mind. God is with you in your work. When you embrace Jesus and become His apprentice, you'll learn to live a seamless life where every task, big or small, can glorify Him.Dr. Tom Nelson's latest book, Why Your Work Matters: How God Uses Our Everyday Vocations to Transform Us, Our Neighbors, and the World, is available wherever books are sold.

We are not backing down in our lawsuit challenging the Ten Commandments in Texas public schools, in spite of the Texas Attorney General's warning that he won't back down from posting them. After covering state/church news in Texas, Arkansas, Minnesota and Colorado, we hear Rachel Maddow's warning about authoritarianism. Then, we speak with April Ajoy, author of the book Star-Spangled Jesus: Leaving Christian Nationalism and Finding A True Faith.

As the lines between democracy and monarchy blur, what kind of power are we living under—and what kind of authority do we trust?In this episode of Rebuilders, Mark, Liddy, and Daniel explore the seismic shifts happening in how power is exercised and understood in our time. From Max Weber's classic categories of authority to the rise of charismatic leaders like Donald Trump, they trace how the erosion of rational-legal power and the resurgence of personality-driven, almost “royal” rule are reshaping politics, culture, and even the church.Is Trump's style of leadership a symptom—or the beginning—of a deeper cultural shift? Are we witnessing a post-secular return to sacred forms of power? And what does it mean for Christians to live under the authority of a very different kind of king?

April Ajoy is a Christian. She's also a humanist activist on the front lines against harmful fundamentalism and Christian nationalism. An atheist and a Christian are allies? Go figure.VIDEO INTERVIEW:Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/thethinkingatheist--3270347/support.

In this episode, Noah explores Right Livelihood, the next step on the Eightfold Path. More than just avoiding harmful professions, Right Livelihood invites us to reflect on how our work shapes who we are and how we show up in the world. Noah shares personal stories, analogies, and practical questions to consider, such as: Does my work align with my values? Does it cultivate compassion and presence, or leave me depleted and divided? Whether you love your job, dislike it, or are somewhere in between, this talk reframes livelihood as not about finding the “perfect” career, but about engaging skillfully with the conditions of life and bringing mindfulness into how we work every day.
