During a moment of historic turbulence and Christian polarization, Trinity Forum president Cherie Harder stepped away from the political and spiritual vortex of Washington, DC, for a month-long pilgrimage on the Camino de Santiago—a.k.a. “the Camino” or “the Way.” In this episode, she reflects on the spiritual, emotional, and physical rhythms of pilgrimage as both counterpoint and counter-practice to the fracturing pressures of American civic and religious life. Together, she and Mark Labberton consider how such a posture of pilgrimage—marked by humility, presence, and receptivity—can help reshape how we understand Christian witness in a fraught and antagonistic time. Harder explores how her Camino sabbatical offered her a deeply embodied spiritual liturgy—one that grounded her leadership and personal formation after years of intense service in government and faith-based institutions. She also reflects on the internal and external catalysts that led her to walk three hundred miles across Portugal and Spain, including burnout, anxiety, and the desire to “walk things off.” What emerged was not a single epiphany but a profound reorientation: a reordering of attention, a rediscovery of joy, and a new kind of sociological imagination—one that sees neighbourliness through the eyes of a pilgrim, not a partisan. Episode Highlights “Being a pilgrim, one is a stranger in a strange land, one has no pretensions to ruling the place. … It's a different way of being in the world.” “There was a widespread belief in the importance of persuasion … a very different posture than seeking to dominate, humiliate, and pulverize.” “Every day is literally putting one foot in front of the other. And you spend each day outside—whether it's in sunshine or in rain.” “There's a pilgrim sociology that is so counter to how we interact in civic space today. … It's a different way of being in the world.” “You're tired, and there's an invitation to stop and to pray.” “I didn't have an epiphany, but what I had instead was a daily practice that fed my soul.” Helpful Links and Resources The Trinity Forum The Way (film) – a film about the Camino starring Martin Sheen Off the Road: A Modern-Day Walk Down the Pilgrim's Route into Spain by Jack Hitt Pilgrim's Progress by John Bunyan (Project Gutenberg) Sabbath as Resistance by Walter Brueggemann Camino de Santiago Overview – Wikipedia About Cherie Harder Cherie Harder is president of the Trinity Forum, a non-profit that curates Christian thought leadership to engage public life, spiritual formation, and the arts. She previously served in multiple leadership roles in the US government, including in the White House under President George W. Bush, and as policy director to Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist. A graduate of Harvard University, she is a writer, speaker, and advocate for grace-filled public discourse and thoughtful Christian engagement in civic life. Show Notes Cherie Harder is president of the Trinity Forum, a non-profit based in Washington, DC, and focused on Christian thought leadership. She previously served in the White House and as policy director for the Senate Majority Leader. Harder reflects on how leadership now requires “counterforce just to stay in the same place.” She critiques the rise of “performative belligerence” in both civic and Christian life. “There's a premium placed on humiliating and deeply personally insulting the other side—and somehow that's seen as strength.” She contrasts past politics, which valued persuasion, with today's polarization, which valorizes domination. “Persuasion takes others seriously. It assumes they're reasonable and open.” The Camino de Santiago and pilgrimage Harder walked over three hundred miles, from Lisbon to Santiago, along the Portuguese Camino. She frames pilgrimage as an act of spiritual resistance against anxiety, burnout, and cultural chaos. “I need to find a way to walk this off.” The daily rhythm of the Camino offered physical and spiritual rest: wake, walk, eat, reflect, rest, repeat. “Every day was the opportunity to just move, to see, to attend to what was in front of me.” She was struck by the liturgical nature of walking: “There's no perfect walk, but you have to start.” Each step became a form of prayer, an embodied spiritual practice. Embodied spiritual formation Harder calls the Camino “a liturgy of the body”—a spiritual discipline grounded in physical motion. “Being in your body every day changes you—it makes your needs visible, your limits felt, your joy more palpable.” She found that physical needs—food, rest, shelter—highlighted spiritual hungers and gratitudes. The rhythm reoriented her from leadership stress to lived dependence on grace. “I didn't have an epiphany. But what I had instead was a daily practice that fed my soul.” Spiritual renewal and rhythmic practices Harder affirms that the Camino gave her a hunger for spiritual rest she hadn't fully realized. “It showed me the deficiency was greater than I thought … I've missed this.” She explores how practices of solitude, walking, and prayer can carry over into her work. Mark Labberton proposes Sabbath-keeping as one way to embody pilgrimage back home. “We may not all get to Portugal—but we can still find a Camino in our days.” Harder is now exploring how to sustain “a rhythmic alteration of how we hold time.” Pilgrim sociology and neighbourliness Harder describes a “pilgrim sociology”—a social vision rooted in vulnerability, curiosity, humility, and shared burdens. “We're in a strange land. We're not here to rule, but to receive.” The Camino fostered solidarity through shared hardship and generosity. “You literally carry each other's burdens.” She draws a sharp contrast between the posture of a pilgrim and the posture of a combatant. “It leads to a much kinder, gentler world—because it's not a posture of domination.” Spiritual lessons from the Camino The convergence at Santiago prompted reflection on heaven: “All these people, from different paths, looking up at glory.” She was reminded of Jesus's words, “I am the way, the truth, and the life.” “The Camino literally means ‘the Way.' You're relying on direction that is true.” The historic path invites pilgrims into the long, sacred story of the church. “You feel part of something bigger—millions have gone before you.” Production Credits Conversing is produced and distributed in partnership with Comment magazine and Fuller Seminary.

Sometimes when I launch into a topic I have no idea where the stream of consciousness is going to take me, but damned if this isn't a good one, y'all, if I do say so myself. Georgia Republicans want to make Georgia a "closed primary" state, and that's (spoiler alert) bad for democracy. If Republicans are for something, when it comes to elections, you can be sure it's "bad for democracy." Now, listen, fellow Democrats ... we have to accept that our issues in 2016 exposed that we weren't exactly "pro-democracy" or all about "open primaries" ourselves, either, so take your medicine when I discuss that and how it correlates with the current conversation. A majority of Americans (58%) seek a complete overhaul of governance, and while they're getting one, it's not the one they wanted. At least 53% oppose Elon Musk's involvement. Doesn't that mean the left's ideas have a better shot with voters, if given the choice? Speaking of Bernie Sanders, he and just ten other Democratic Senators have managed to oppose every Trump Cabinet appointment (save for Marco Rubio) - netting a meager "10%" Thune score (John Thune, Senate Majority Leader). We're starting to see evidence of the Democatic party bowing up - and with DOGE's incursion into the US Treasury, a rally yesterday featured Rep. Jasmine Crockett and Rep. Jamie Raskin, among others, speaking of solidarity and action. We'll see ... Meanwhile just a week after my guest, Professor Anthony "Tony" Lemieux noted that Trump's J6 pardons mean 'if you do things in service of Donald Trump, you will be ... protected from the ramifications from it." That's going to be tested in a South Carolina case where a white guy has been charged with kidnapping, larceny and assault & battery, along with impersonating a law enforcement officer after a disturbing video surfaced showing him harassing a Spanish-speaking man in a truck, taking keys from the ignition and dangling them in the driver's face while insinuating he'd be deported "back to Mexico." Expect more acts like this, though, with Republican lawmakers eager to put bounties out for citizens to be encouraged to "hunt" for. This is how Germany lurched towards Nazism in the 1930s. Literally.

Virginia Roberts Giuffre's allegations against Bill Richardson and George Mitchell are part of her broader claims of being sexually abused and trafficked by Jeffrey Epstein and his associates. Giuffre has stated that she was recruited by Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell when she was 17 years old and subsequently coerced into a life of sex trafficking.Bill Richardson:Bill Richardson, a former Governor of New Mexico, U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations, and Secretary of Energy, was named by Giuffre in legal documents. She alleged that Richardson was one of the high-profile individuals to whom Epstein trafficked her for sex. Richardson has categorically denied these allegations, stating that he has never met Giuffre and was unaware of Epstein's criminal activities. His spokesperson has emphasized that Richardson's interactions with Epstein were limited to legitimate political and charitable efforts.George Mitchell:George Mitchell, a former U.S. Senator and Senate Majority Leader, was also implicated by Giuffre. She claimed that Mitchell was among the influential men to whom Epstein trafficked her. Like Richardson, Mitchell has denied the allegations, asserting that he never met, spoke with, or had any contact with Giuffre. Mitchell has stated that his limited interactions with Epstein were in the context of fundraising and other public activities.Broader Context:Giuffre's accusations against Richardson and Mitchell are part of a series of allegations she has made against several prominent individuals. These allegations emerged as part of legal proceedings against Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell. Giuffre's claims have drawn significant media attention, particularly given the high-profile nature of the individuals she named, however Richardson and Mitchell remain sheltered.  Despite Virginia Roberts Giuffre's serious allegations against Bill Richardson and George Mitchell, both men have largely avoided the intense scrutiny and accountability that some other figures connected to Jeffrey Epstein's network faced. This disparity in attention and accountability raises questions about the role of the media and political connections in shaping public perception and legal outcomes.Bill Richardson and George Mitchell have consistently denied Giuffre's allegations, and there have been no formal charges or legal actions taken against them based on these claims. While both have faced some media coverage regarding the allegations, it has been relatively limited and quickly overshadowed by other news. Their denials and reputations as seasoned public servants might have contributed to the relatively muted response.The media's handling of the allegations against Richardson and Mitchell contrasts sharply with how Alex Acosta, the former U.S. Attorney and Labor Secretary, was scrutinized. Acosta came under intense media and public pressure due to his role in negotiating a controversial plea deal with Epstein in 2008, which was widely criticized for being overly lenient. The deal allowed Epstein to serve a relatively short jail sentence and granted immunity to potential co-conspirators, effectively shielding many of his associates from prosecution.Acosta's connection to Epstein and the perceived leniency of the plea deal led to widespread outrage, culminating in his resignation as Labor Secretary in 2019. The intense scrutiny of Acosta's actions highlighted the inconsistencies in how different figures connected to Epstein were treated by the media and the public.Richardson and Mitchell's relatively protected status can be partly attributed to their longstanding relationships with influential figures and institutions. Both men have extensive political careers and connections within the legacy media, which may have contributed to the subdued coverage of the allegations against them. Media outlets, influenced by these connections, may have been less inclined to pursue aggressive investigations or critical reporting on Richardson and Mitchell compared to Acosta.The disparity in scrutiny reflects broader issues of power and influence in both the media and the justice system. Prominent individuals with substantial political clout and media connections often navigate allegations differently than those with less influence. This disparity can lead to unequal accountability, where some individuals face significant consequences while others remain relatively unscathed.While Richardson and Mitchell have not faced the same level of accountability, the ongoing legal battles and investigations into Epstein's network continue to reveal the complexity and reach of his operations. Ghislaine Maxwell's conviction and the attention on Epstein's other associates maintain a spotlight on the broader issue of sex trafficking and the complicity of powerful individuals.However, without consistent and thorough scrutiny from both the media and the justice system, the full extent of accountability for all involved remains elusive. This situation underscores the importance of equal and unbiased investigative journalism and legal proceedings in addressing allegations of this nature.(commercial at 11:21)to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Bill Richardson and George Mitchell deny allegations by alleged Jeffrey Epstein victim | Daily Mail OnlineBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

This situation underscores the importance of equal and unbiased investigative journalism and legal proceedings in addressing allegations of this nature.Jeffrey Epstein orchestrated a sophisticated network of enablers, including attorneys Darren Indyke and Richard Kahn, who played pivotal roles in managing his vast financial empire and shielding his illicit activities. Indyke, Epstein's long-time lawyer, and Kahn, his accountant, were integral in maintaining the complex web of shell companies, trusts, and offshore accounts that facilitated both the accumulation of Epstein's wealth and the concealment of his criminal endeavors. Their positions granted them insight into Epstein's dealings, raising questions about the extent of their complicity in enabling his sex trafficking operation. Despite public scrutiny following Epstein's death, both men continued to serve as executors of his estate, a role that further underscores their deep entrenchment in the infrastructure Epstein built to sustain his predatory lifestyle and evade accountability.source:Bill Richardson and George Mitchell deny allegations by alleged Jeffrey Epstein victim | Daily Mail Online

Donald Trump hasn't even been sworn in yet, and it seems his influence is waning. Senate Republicans rejected Rick Scott for Senate Majority Leader. Trump's pick for Attorney General, Matt Gaetz, had to withdraw after it became clear that many Senate Republicans would not support him. Trump named Chad Chronister as his pick to head up the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) but, after some Republican criticism, Chronister withdrew his name (causing Trump to play catch-up, thereafter claiming that HE pulled Chronister's name). And now, it looks like Trump's pick for Secretary of Defense, Pete Hegseth, is on the fast rack to . . . nope.

Donald Trump's pick for Attorney General, Matt Gaetz, has withdrawn his name from consideration after it became clear that the Senate Republican would no go along with Trump's desire to install Gaetz as the nation's top law enforcement official. Importantly, this is the second defeat that Senate Republicans delivered to Trump, after refusing to go with Trump's pick for Senate Majority Leader, Rick Scott. Will Senate Republicans keep standing up to Trump as he tries to tear down the institutions of government?
